|Australia: Victoria, Melbourne, Albert Park
|Death date:
|28 July 1916
|Death place:
|France: Picardie, Somme, Pozieres
|Final rank:
|First World War, 1914-1918
|23rd Australian Infantry Battalion
Irving Russell Flett was born at Albert Park, Victoria on 23 September 1887. A salesman, Flett lived in Brighton, Victoria with his parents and a brother, Walter. Flett was appointed as second lieutenant in the newly raised 23rd Battalion on 24 March 1915. Flett departed Melbourne aboard HMAT Euripides on 10 May 1915. He was promoted to the rank of lieutenant on 26 August 1915, just before the 23rd Battalion landed at Gallipoli on 4 September 1915. The battalion were soon manning the difficult and dangerous trenches at Lone Pine which they occupied alternately with the 24th Battalion, until the evacuation in December 1915.
Following the evacuation, Flett was sent, via Egypt, to France with the 23rd Battalion. The battalion experienced a relatively gentle introduction to the Western Front via the Armentières sector in northern France in April 1916. However, the battalion was to experience substantial casualties during the horrific battles of Pozières and Mouquet Farm in July. Flett was amongst these casualties and was killed in action on 28 July 1916 at Pozières, France, aged 29. Irving Flett was buried on the battlefield near the ruins of Pozières and is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France.

No use ignoring the e-mails and the comments and the discussion stemming from last night's loss to the Washington Wizards. The main topic coming out of the overtime loss was the play of Andre Iguodala, his future with this team, whether there should be a future with this team, whether it's time to trade him (or past time to trade him), whether the team plays better without him, whether it's time to play Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young, etc.
Thought we'd at least gather some statistics, make some observations, and just open up the forum. Through four games this season, Iguodala is averaging 15.3 points, 6.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.5 turnovers in 38.3 minutes a game. Iguodala is shooting 44.4 percent from the field, 36.4 percent from three (4 for 11 from three), and 52.9 percent from the line (9 for 17 from the line). Let's look specifically at last night's game: Iguodala played 38 minutes, 18 seconds and finished with 12 points, 9 assists, 4 turnovers, 3 rebounds.
Now, we know the +/- statistic is not entirely indicative of impact on the floor, there are certainly other factors that alter a player's score, but it's at least a rough estimate of how things went while a player was in the game. On Tuesday night, of the team's starters, Iguodala (-6) was the only player with a negative +/-, with Elton Brand (+11) having the best on the team. But the interesting thing is that the players that many people are arguing should be on the floormore (Lou Williams, Evan Turner, Marreese Speights, to name a few) had bad +/- scores as well. Turner (-15) was the worst. Williams (-9) scored at will in the fourth quarter, but put the Wizards back in the game in the first half by shooting 0 for 7 and allowing John Wall to get going. Speights (-6) scored 6 points in about 17 minutes of action.
So those are the numbers. Objectively, Iguodala's numbers are not bad; he nearly posted a double-double and was a part of the starting unit that jumped out to a 20-6 lead. The issue -- and it's a big one -- is the play in the fourth quarter and overtime. Iguodala did not play down the stretch of regulation. He came out of the game with 10:19 left in the fourth quarter, his team trailing 77-68, and checked back in with 17.3 seconds left, his team ahead 102-99, as the Sixers attempted to preserve their lead and grab their first victory of the season. Until the final defensive play, Iguodala was basically a non-factor (excluding the "near turnover" when he tried to inbound it quickly with about 10 seconds left, but the ball stayed with the Sixers). The final play, with 3.1 seconds left, is tough to diagnose. If you watch the replay, there's really no excessive error made by Iguodala, but you can make a case that these things seem to always happen to him, so it becomes a case more than anything of just frustration by repetition. For more in-depth analysis on that play, you can read last night's post: 3.1 seconds.
Iguodala's overtime minutes are a little more suspect. He played all 5:00, finished 1 for 3 from the field, 1 for 2 from the line, wih 3 points and 1 steal. Nothing terribly disturbing about those numbers except for two reoccuring problems: the missed free throw and the missed shot at the end. In an overtime where the Wizards finished 6 for 6 from the line and the Sixers were 1 for 2, that missed free throw was obviously the difference. We've also seen Iguodala miss a lot of crucial free throws in the last year. During the 2008-09 season, Iguodala was actually quite effective in end-of-game situations, even nailing a jumper at the buzzer to give the Sixers a one-game lead over the Orlando Magic in that playoff series. But last year was a slew of missed jumpers and 1 for 2 performances at the free throw line. Because that's fresh on everyone's mind, last night's overtime becomes increasingly frustrating. A missed free throw and then, at the end of regulation, a very difficult missed jump shot.
Anyone who watched that overtime knows that Iguodala was not the option on that final play. The ball was in Lou's hands, he drove to the middle and decided against going up (afterwards Doug Collins said he assumed Lou saw a shot blocker coming over and didn't think he had a chance), kicking out to Iguodala, who was not really in a great position to make a play. At that point, you have to ask yourself whether fault lies entirely on Iguodala's shoulders: He tried to make something out of nothing, yes, but he also settled for a jumper rather than penetrating and getting to the rim. And it seems like this last point is what really frustrates Sixers' fans, because they've seen too much of the arching, low-percentage jumper at the end of games.
All of this brings us to the conclusion: What's the solution to this problem? Nothing simple, that's for sure. It sounds as if many people want to trade Iguodala to increase minutes for Thaddeus Young and Evan Turner. The idea behind this thinking is clear: "We know what we have in Iguodala, his contract is hefty, and we don't feel it's worth the price," PLUS, "We don't really know what we have in Turner and Young, their contracts are entry-level, and we need to decide what those players are worth as we move forward in building a winner." Another line of thinking is that Iguodala unfairly bears the burden for this team. He's often given the ball with only a few seconds left on the shot clock, forced to take a difficult shot, and that includes end-of-game situations. He has no post presence allowing him to penetrate to the basket, so the first step for the Sixers should be to acquire a dependable, scoring center, which could highlight Iguodala's game (and the game's of all the remaining players).
The question: Should the Sixers trade away a known quantity (Iguodala) for an unknown?
The Sixers need to evaluate their entire roster and see what trades/moves can be made. Yes, that includes Iguodala. But it's not limited to him, either, because this combination of players is not a winning combination.

About the Author
It's hard to believe that The Dark and Hollow Places is out and that the Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy is drawing to a close. When I sat down to write The Forest of Hands and Teeth for National Novel Writing Month in 2006, I didn't expect it would get published. It was the book I began after my husband suggested I "write what I love" (and yes, I loved wondering how a world would survive hundreds of years after a global catastrophe like the zombie apocalypse). Every evening I'd come home from work and I'd write a new scene and then my husband would come home and I'd read it aloud to him. We'd talk about the story on long walks—writing became like a love letter to him.
Having the book published by Delacorte Press was literally a dream come true! All my life I've wanted to be a writer and I was even amazingly fortunate to be able to quit my job as a lawyer and write full time. I finished editing The Forest of Hands and Teeth and I was sad to leave the world behind, but I'd always thought of it as a stand-alone novel.
Until my editor asked me if I could write a sequel. I jumped at the opportunity to dive back into this universe and I loved expanding the world to a new town, new characters, new obstacles. And as soon as The Dead-Tossed Waves was finished I started on The Dark and Hollow Places.
Writing this third book was bittersweet. I'm not an author known for being easy on her characters and yet I found myself unwilling to throw too much of the world at Annah, my third protagonist. And then I realized . . . that's exactly what I had to do: elevate the stakes even higher than they'd been before.
I've been asked why I write books that many people describe as "dark" and my answer is always the same: I want to show that, even in the darkness, there is hope. The world of the Forest of Hands and Teeth isn't an easy one, but neither is the one we live in now. The key is to find the brightness of hope—to hold on to love, friendship, family, and self—against all obstacles.

|Gear Talk - Fly Stuff Spoken Here Sage advice & fresh perspectives
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|greg- you might check Goose Hummock they had several styles of chest pack towards the end of last year. Their web address is: www.goosehummock.com I think. Its something like that though.
I like the Prof Bodkins a lot, easy to get on/off and roomy. The freezable water pack is nice too. The new SW version has no zippers to rust.
I haven't been shopping lately but I like a chest pack that has a removable rear compartment large enough for water bottles, snacks, extra spool, 2nd flybox, etc.
The compartments have to be big enough to hold the large foam Morrel (?) flyboxes on both sides for me.
Ideally, the rear compartment would be a waterproof one like the SEALINE bags and packs. This would allow cell phones and other emergency items to be safe in case you get soaked. A simple fold and clip top would do it.
I like my chestpack but the zippers handles rotted off. I replaced them with brass split rings and they are holding up so far. I guess it would be a good idea to rinse them with my other gear, never did that.
I am sure others will chime in...
Chest Pack Suggestions?
My B-day is coming up & I've told wife I want a Chest pack OR Chest/Back Combo!
I saw & liked Professor Bodkin's (Dana's) at the Wilmington show, but I like also to hear from others? Thanks.

By Sid Salter
STARKVILLE – As it turns out, Mississippi Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney was wise to keep quietly plugging on a health care exchange plan despite drawing criticism from some in his own Republican Party.
With President Barack Obama winning a second term and Democrats keeping control of the U.S. Senate, the Affordable Care Act or "Obamacare" public health care reforms are here to stay. Obama's win send many states scrambling for direction on how to move forward, but in Mississippi the groundwork had already been quietly, systematically laid for being able to meet a deadline for states to tell the federal government whether they will create a health insurance exchange.
The same Supreme Court ruling that initially gave Republican leaders some wiggle room on Medicaid expansion leaves far less such on the health exchange. Under the ruling, states are left with three choices: First, the states can operate their own insurance marketplace using federal funds to acquire and implement the technology to allow insurance customers to compare and buy their own insurance.
Second, the states can leave that responsibility and the control of the process to the federal government. Third, states can create a federal-state "partnership" to set up a health exchange.
Despite prior criticism from some in his own party, Chaney chose to lay the groundwork for Mississippi to operate its own health insurance exchange under state control. While many states are now scrambling after President Obama's re-election, Chaney quietly prepared to operate a state-run exchange and is now considered somewhat of a national expert on how states can go about setting up the exchanges from within the guidelines of the three possible approaches.
That's the post-election good news in Mississippi regarding the Obama health care reforms.
But the bad news is that a monumental battle now looms over Medicaid expansion.
When the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government can't threaten or withhold funding for the state's existing Medicaid program simply because the state fails to expand Medicaid as dictated by the Obama health care reform act, conservatives in the Mississippi Legislature and Gov. Phil Bryant found their opportunity to resist a major component of the legislation.
Republican leaders in both the executive and legislative branches of state government are on record opposing the Medicaid expansion for budgetary reasons. Bryant said funding a Medicaid expansion would require substantial budget cuts in education, transportation, corrections and other essential functions of state government.
Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said adding 400,000 people to Medicaid would cost about $1.7 billion over a decade. GOP House Speaker Philip Gunn called the expansion a "budget-buster" for the state.
But health care advocates, the Mississippi Hospital Association and many others disagree to the point of calling a failure to expand Medicaid the equivalent of missing an economic development opportunity. The debate of what constitutes "the right thing" is one that will generate more heat than light, but the debate will continue over how the state can afford an expansion of Medicaid in the future.
Proponents of expansion cite the belief that as the poorest state in the union Mississippi can ill afford to turn down that infusion of public health care dollars both from the standpoint of public health and that of the state's stagnant economy. Opponents say with the federal government drowning in debts and deficits from entitlement programs that are already in dire fiscal danger, betting the future on yet another expanded entitlement is not only a danger to the federal government's stability but to the state's fiscal well-being as well.
Get used to hearing those arguments, for they will dominate the 2013 legislative session. Bottom line, state officials worry that future Medicaid costs will be shifted to the states to pay for the increased Medicaid enrollments.

Results 1 to 2 of 2
How will I know when my firemouths have paired up?
Two of my firemouths often face each other and flare up and just go back and forth for a while, they do this quite often. I believe they male and female. Are they "testing" each other or are they just fighting over territory. They never actually attack they just flare up swim away then flare up again. There is also a large pit in one corner of my tank, though it could have been my L200. Only those two flare up, the third wich I believe to be another male just swims away when the female flares at him. The female likes to hover around the pit, often not going farther than a few inches away from it.
the pit is a spawning site, and the female is guarding her eggs. The male should be patroling the area as well if this is a true pair. I will say that sometimes you get a female that is overly aggressive and causes the spawn to fail by not letting the male do his part. I had the same type of thing with a pair of severums. They were bonded but the female would lay a string of eggs then chase the male away before he could fertilize them. I would just wait and see since it doesn't sound like it's really causing any major issues. Also the presence of the pleco may end the situation altogether by sneaking in at night and making a snack out the eggs and fry.
Ha silly me, just noticed the date on the post LOL!

Gadget Guy: Poken
Poken Spark Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Price: $19.95 www.pokenzoo.com
Business cards have been around for ages and are a quick and easy way to share our contact information with others. The downside, they often end up in our briefcases, pockets or purses and have a tendency not to always end up in our address books. And worse, they?re never organized in alphabetical order so it?s hard to find the person you?re looking for.
So how do you fix this? Make it electronic, right? That?s the idea behind the Poken.
The ones with cartoon characters are called the Poken Spark and there?s also an executive collection called the Poken Pulse that is a 2gb USB flash drive and Poken all in one.
So how?s it work? You buy a Poken for $20 and register it at doyoupoken.com. Then carry it around with you and use it as your business card.
Meet someone out at an event and want to keep in touch afterwards? If they have a Poken, just touch your Poken to the person?s Poken and the two devices will share contact information instantly. Once you see the green light on the device you know your contact information was shared successfully.
With the Poken Spark you can collect as many as 64 friends and the Poken Pulse is virtually unlimited. Just bring it back after, plug into your computer and you?ll notice now that you have pending friends on your account page.
Once you accept them you?ll not only have their contact information but also their Linked In, Facebook, and other social network names.
And building your own contact card is easy. Simply add in whatever fields you want. And because it?s digital as you become part of other social networks or change jobs, as soon as you update your Poken business card, all of your friends and colleagues will have the contact information changed on their devices.
And all of these friends can instantly be exported from the website to Outlook and other email programs via downloadable vcards.
So how did it rate?
The Upsides: What I liked about these is how easy it is to trade your contact information. Just touch Pokens, look for the green light and you know the next time you plug your Poken into your computer you?ll have that person?s contact information as well as links to their social media profiles. They?re not that pricey either - just $20 for the Spark and $35 for the USB flash drive version with no monthly fee.
The Downsides: Until they catch on, it may be a while before you start running into people with them. Also, like traditional business cards, you do have to remember to physically carry this little device around. They do have a lanyard so you can clip them onto a keychain or purse if you?d like.
The Bottom Line: It?s definitely a unique idea and would work particularly well for the business person that?s always running out of physical cards. Although for the time being you?d still have to carry around the paper version as not many people have them?yet!

Ok… all of this talk about being lazy.. and it caught me. Not really. I wanted to get a Saturday Quick tip out this week but once again my Scouting life got in the way of the blog.
Saturday, I was at a Staff Development session for the upcoming Wood Badge course. I am not on the staff this time, but I have been asked to be a Guest presenter during the course. I will be presenting the Teaching EDGE and more than likely will be doing dishes also… it's what we Wood Badgers do.
Sunday was dedicated to one of my Scouts. We held a Court of Honor to present his Eagle Award. Man, what a great day. I love Courts of Honor especially when we honor a Scout that has worked so hard and has become an Eagle Scout.
Alright… enough of the excuses.
I was going to shoot a video about a piece of gear that I always keep in my pack. In fact I keep a few of them in my pack at all times and love them. They are the Wet Fire ™ Fire starting Tinder.
They are made by a company called the Revere Supply Company and is part of the UST line of products. Designed for survival kits, these little Fire starters are the best.
Now, we don't teach survival to our Scouts, rather we teach preparedness and being ready in the event that everything goes South. Being Prepared is the way to stay out of survival situations.
Having said that, we all like a fire and the Wet Fire ™ Fire starting Tinder is the best way to get a fire going quick and easy. I don't know about you.. but I'm not into the whole rubbing sticks together and flint and steel went out of style in the 1800's. When I want fire, I want it now. And I live in Oregon, read… wet. The Wet Fire ™ fire starting tinder gets that fire going while drying out other tinder and smaller wood so you can have a nice fire in camp.
Each cube is 1" x .75" x .5" (24 x 19 x 13mm) and only weighs .16 oz (44g), they do not take up a bunch of space and for the efficiency you won't worry about the added grams.
You can read more about it at their website. The Wet Fire ™ fire starting tinder is available at most stores and are inexpensive. About $6 for a package of 5.
Here is a little video from the folks that bring you the Wet Fire ™ fire starting tinder.
I carry these in my pack and I highly recommend them for everyone.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

They were racing in port-a-potties?
Like to see who could get it all out faster? (No. 1 or No. 2?)
Or was it more like an endurance thing? Like who could get the most out of their bowels or bladder?
Or maybe it was the longest fart? Or how long the smell could last?
It might have just been who could vacate the quickest so someone else could use the stall before the next sporting event.
In almost any of these competitions, eating Mexican food helps a winner the most.
Two weeks ago today, my girlfriend and I took the plunge on vacation. It was sort of an elopement, sort of planned. We are both in our mid 30's and after 1 1/2 years of dating, we knew time was not on our side, so we decided to get hitched. I am not big on pageantry and processions, so I thought a wedding on vacation, with no family or friends was the perfect way to avoid the planning and potential bridezilla or family related shenanigans.
We are having a reception for families though at a banquet hall at the end of the month. Kate and I will have immediate family and friends gathered for a Sunday brunch. To be truthful, I am more nervous for this than I was for the wedding.
The one thing I do regret was my mom. She was no doubt happy for me, but I heard from my dad later that she did not get to escort her son down the aisle as she had dreamed.
Great news! :D Now, you shouldn't feel so lowly as your user name says.
- Bought into my father's business in February 2011 and then got rejected for life insurance due to a VERY high A1C (14!) in March 2011.
- Through diet and exercise alone, lost 30 pounds and then fully REVERSED what had been undiagnosed and severe type 2 diabetes between April and September 2011 (took my A1C from 14 to 5.5 in 4 1/2 months).
- Between September 2011 and May 2012, I continued to exercise and I maintained the weight loss I had achieved and as well as keeping my non-diabetic A1C the same.
- Stopped drinking soda and eating fast food.
- May 2012 - November 2012, lost an additional 20 pounds bringing me down to the smallest that I have ever weighed going all the way back to when I was a fat little 12 year old (I am 36 years old and I am only 5' 8").
- Started doing pushups and pullups in addition to my morning (and sometimes afternoons walks).
- Bought a house with my wife in November 2012, and carried her over the threshold.
- Stopped watching TV before Easter, canceled cable in early April.
- Reconnected with my wife and have become a better husband and partner to her. We just celebrated 6 years of marriage in June.
- And over all of this, in the last 2 years, I have renewed my faith in my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ and what it truly means to follow Him.
I am a completely different person inside and out now.
Holy cow Ando you rock!!! What an awesome 2 years! :applause:
Thank you, JJB. It's been an awesome 2 years. All thanks to my wife and Jesus.
Well, I have now lived to see a non-losing season from the Pittsburgh :Pirate:s. That's quite something!

Third rave review of this favorite dish, just to chime in that if you find pork osso buco at your market, it comes out almost exactly the same. Pork duBreton puts out that cut of pork, and it' often available at WF. Significantly more economical than the veal. With fall upon us, I am looking forward again to the days of slow-simmered comfort food vs. grilling, and this is at the top of my list.
This is one of our favorite recipes! When I can not find veal shanks, I use beef shanks and recently made with Ox Tails! Just so good - and left overs are even better!
Simply the best osso buco ever! Did it the day before a dinner party, made risotto part way to be finished just prior to meal while veal was re-heating. Served a simple green salad with light vinaigrette, french green beans and lots of malbec! Appetizer was cantaloupe/prosciutto brochettes and dessert was dark rum bundt cake with walnuts. No left-overs!
A few years ago I posted about this recipe, but this time it came out better than ever--my guests were delighted, and I have delicious leftovers to look forward to. I have found it essential to boil down the liquid at the end of the cooking process and then refrigerate until re-heating and serving. The flavors were fantastic. I did not have quite enough onion so I threw in a large shallot. Some of the wine was red wine because I did not have enough white. Didn't have quite enough onions so I added a large shallot. And instead of all chicken stock I used fresh beef stock from my butcher along with the chicken stock. The flavors were absolutely amazing and this may turn out to be my favorite dinner party main course! I did a very rich cauliflower puree (just cauliflower, heavy cream, salt pepper) as an accompaniment. Celeriac puree is my first choice, but one of my guests does not eat potatoes and cauliflower puree is delicious. This is not really a hard recipe--just takes time--and I highly recommend it.
Really delicious and meat fell right off the bone. Don't worry about the ring of fat on the meat - also falls off in one ringed piece.
I previoulsy reviewed this superb recipe as "a cook from Hanover, MA", recommending that it be served with the lemon risotto from this site -a perfect accompaniment. The only twist I add to it is to reduce the sauce after removing the meat, with the addition of a T of honey, which cuts the acidity of the tomatoes and lemon, and adds a rich gloss to the finished product. I just adapted the recipe this evening to use lamb shanks - 4 shanks weighing about 1 lb each. Simply changed out the chicken broth and white wine for beef broth and red wine, and used orange julienne instead of lemon in the stew. I found that 2 hours in the oven were just enough time. We're saving this dish for Oscar night tomorrow, but my oh my, the aromas and the taste of the sauce are driving me mad. I know it will improve overnight in the fridge and will reheat well. Anyone who loves lamb or veal would be thrilled with this dish in their repertoire.
Excellent recipe! I followed another's advice and also made the lemon risotto which blended very well with the lemon/garlic of the gremolata. We were lucky to find veal shanks here, but when they are scarce, this could be made with chicken or pork chops. Definitely a family pleaser and great for entertainment.
Made the recipe using myer lemons, added such a nice flavor! I also substituted the white wine with red and added a little extra, delicious! Would definetely make it again!
This was a great recipe and it comes together very easily. I used veal shanks this time. I am tempted to try it with lamb next time just for a little variety. This is a great meal to serve for company as there is very little last minute work involved. Definitely will repeat this one.

Applying the Small-Area Estimation Method to Estimate a Population Eligible for Breast Cancer Detection Services, January 2008Concludes that the small-area estimation method is a powerful tool for approximating narrowly defined eligible or target populations that are not represented fully in any one data source. The variability and reliability of the estimates are measurable and meaningful. Public health programs can use this method to estimate the size of local populations eligible for, or in need of, preventive health services and interventions.

The Steel City is filled with tradition and passion. Interior decorator and Pittsburgh native Nancy Barsotti knows exactly how to design for her city while getting the most for her clients.
Thanks for joining us, Nancy! Tell us a little bit about how you got into the design business.
I decided in high school that I wanted to be an interior designer. I studied and received my degree in Interior Design at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and have worked as an interior designer for my entire professional life. It has been a very good career!
What are some of the first things you try to notice when meeting a new client at their space? Do you have a checklist, or is it a meet and greet to feel out their personality?
I try to understand the client's lifestyle by their home, existing furnishings and I ask a lot of questions. Of course I listen closely to what they are saying and showing me in their home. I try to develop a rapport with them at the first meeting.
Working as a designer is committing to a career filled with difficult challenges. Which problems do you face most often? Clients or space? Do you have a method to work through those problems?
No matter the problem or challenge, communication is key. Asking questions, resolving issues with honest answers and just being upfront when something unexpected arises. I try to "leave no stone unturned" in trying to find a good solution and satisfy my clients. I think the main challenge today is how much quality products cost and conveying that to clients – who usually have no idea what they want or need to spend – is the biggest challenge.
Design shows are very popular on television right now. How have they influenced your business? In what ways do your clients now interact with you that they might not have before the popularity of the shows?
I do not like the design shows! I watch very few of them, and usually by accident. They have given the public an unrealistic idea of how projects are handled, accomplished and what the costs would be. Designers have to explain that this is "not real" in terms of accomplishing their goals.
From the outside it seems like Pittsburgh focuses on incorporating it's rich history into many designs! Is that something many clients want? Describe if/how you might incorporate a sense of history into your designs.
Pittsburgh has had a history of being a very conservative, traditional city. But as people have relocated to the city, traveled and see new sources, they are becoming more "eclectic" in their style and tastes. I love historic preservation and we have a lot of wonderful, older homes in Pittsburgh. (I live in a 100+I home and my office building, which I also renovated, was a turn-of-the-century Victorian commercial building.) So obviously I am a big proponent of using antiques, family heirlooms and furnishings that showcase a home's history. Clients tend to enjoy the ability I have to use things that they have and feature them in their homes in ways they had not considered.
Do you have a design project you are most proud to have completed? What did it look like before? After?
My best projects are those that the client has trusted me to do what I think is the right thing – and have been realistic about the budget as well. Just recently I completed a project for a wonderful couple. Their home is from the 1920s with some additions to it to enlarge the kitchen area. They like the original style of the home with its wood and traditional architecture. We used lots of antiques and period wall coverings and carpets (including a Chinese Art Deco area rug they had hiding in the attic). The fun part though was their fabulous collection of 1960s era art – even signed Jerry Garcia watercolors! The combination was a great challenge and it was fun to work with such an unusual combination. The clients are so nice and we had a great time working on the project.
We love rugs. Can you take us through how you use area rugs in your designs? Are there designs where you're more likely to use a rug? Less?
As you might imagine, I like hardwood floors so selecting area rugs is an integral part of most of my projects. Whenever possible I encourage people to either refinish their hardwood floors or install new ones. I like area rugs for any room, in any style of home design and use them as often as possible.
Which area rugs do you find most durable? Least durable?
I like Orientals – both new and old – of many different styles. The selection relating to durability, maintenance and such is based on the use of the room, traffic patterns, etc.
We know as well as anyone that rugs can be expensive. Any assistance on how to cut down on the initial price?
No matter what I am selecting for a client, my advice is always to buy the best they can afford. Sometimes the rug is really the centerpiece of the design of the room.
Thanks for your time today! Any more hints for our readers!
Obviously that would increase the rug budget. But to cut-down on the price, a client could consider a smaller rug but of good quality and arrange the furnishings accordingly.

<wiki> Jason Fried from 37Signals has written a very interesting point of view on how Google may be deceiving the competition by making them look the other way:
What if Google was so brilliantly twisted that theyâ[TM]re using Writely and Spreadsheet and Calendar and massive numbers of new hires as flares to distract Microsoft (and others)? Shoot up a flare (Spreadsheet) and scare Microsoft into paying even more attention to new attacks from new directions. The flares serve one purpose: to redirect competitorsâ[TM] energy away from focusing on search/ads, which are Googleâ[TM]s core competency (and primary revenue source). Hey look over here!!! Is Google the best slight of hand magician around? Is the âoeGoogle Officeâ just a head fake?
There may be more to it than meets the eye, but this certainly is true to some extent. I've never thought about it this way, though. Again, go Jason.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
Every decision I made about this this outfit could be summed up by saying, "because I'm a crazy person."
I thought this costume was going to be a simple hoodie, skirt and leggings but boy was I wrong! Since it was such a simple design, I really wanted to look at the details of the costume; the artbook came in very handy for this! The artbook told, that Vanellope was supposed to be kind of dirty and thrown together, which was my main reasoning for making the mint/teal colors on her outfit so dark. The hoodie was originally light mint sweatshirt fleece but I died it with a combo of teal, dark green and black because I'm a crazy person. It's fully serged and the hood is lined. I chose to get a thick cording for it to emphasize that her candy is licorice but also to add to the cartoony look.
Because I'm a crazy person, I knew I had to make the accordion pleats on the skirt to give it that Reese's cup look. It was actually easier than I thought it would be and I have a tutorial here on how I did the pleats: http://youtu.be/sRzeDM7vFtI After a long while in the fabric store with a Reese's wrapper as reference, I found that the backside of a suede was the perfect match!
Since the artbook said Vanellope has mis-matched stocking, I really wanted them to look different. And once again, because I'm a crazy person, painting was not going to be an option as I wanted the textures to be very different to show that they are two separate stockings. I also noticed while staring at my artbook, that her stockings are two different mint colors! I would have never noticed this otherwise, but they are indeed different! I wanted one stocking to be shiny (like candy) and the other to be matte; however, do to some terrible customer service at Spandex World, they sent me the wrong fabric and that plan was tossed out the window. While I got them done for my deadline, I plan to redo them in better colors. For me, the mint was just too bright for the dirty look I wanted.
I really wanted to get a sense of candy in the outfit so instead of making the odd style of licorice she has in her hair, I went with a more realistic look. I know, I looked way too much into this but I already said I was a crazy person. I hand sewed all the cording on the licorice piece, which took forever, but i'm really happy with how it came out. I kind of wish I had stuffed it a bit, but oh well!
As for the candy in the hair, some of it is in fact real. I did this mostly because I suck at sculpting (even circles!) but also to really hone in on that candy vibe. I used Modge Podge to cover the candies (gummy bear, Spree, V-Day Hearts) so that they won't become gross after a while. The sprinkles and smaller pieces are made from Model Magic and glued in
- Personal Thoughts:
- I fell in love with Vanellope's design even before the movie came out but after watching, I knew it was ment to be. We have a similar personality and I love her spunk! I'm slightly convinced that we are the same person. And this is as close as I'll ever get to being a Disney Princess.
Wig Details
- Styling Notes
- This wig was not originally a ponytail, which made my life more difficult! Most places had run out of ponytail wigs and I knew didn't want a clip on piece. I ended up seam ripping half the wig (because I'm a crazy person), just to resew it facing up to make a nicer ponytail. It was my first time doing this but I think it came out relatively well!

Shares of Verizon Communications (VZ) are up 85 cents, or a little over 2%, at $38.51 after the company this morning reported Q1 revenue of $28.24 billion and EPS of 59 cents, slightly better than the consensus $28.17 billion and 58 cents.
The company said its wireless business saw a 7.7% rise in revenue, as the company added 734,000 retail customers on a net basis, including 501,000 "post-paid" subscribers, for a total of 93 million retail customers and 88 million post-paids. That, however, was less than some analysts had expected.
Average revenue per user, or ARPU, rose by 3.6%, year over year, for post-paid subscribers, at $55.43, Verizon said, while average data revenue rose 16%, to $23.80.
The company said it sold 3.2 million of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone in the quarter, and 2.1 million smartphones with "long term evolution," or LTE, connections. The iPhone figure was down 26% from the prior quarter's 4.3 million activations, which may for some analysts add fuel to concern iPhone sales have been slowing.
Jennifer Fritzsche of Wells Fargo, who has an Overweight rating on the shares, writes following the morning's conference call with management that the company expressed confidence it will improve its full-year wireline Ebitda margin, which was 22.6%, down 1 point from a year earlier:
Large part of revenue decline was due to product rationalizations and Enterprise was impacted by some restructuring. Wireline also impacted by benefit costs and escalators on certain content contracts. Verizon will look to raise video pricing and restructure bundles to make product tiers more profitable. Eliminated 1,100 positions since quarterend, consolidating back offices, continues to pursue labor agreement. Confident will be able to achieve Wireline EBITDA margin improvement for full year.
Fritzsche also notes the iPhone sales figure of 3.2 million was higher than her own 3 million-unit estimate.
Craig Moffett with Bernstein Research, who has an Underperform rating on the shares, and a $32 price target, writes that while new subscriber additions missed expectations, "Verizon Wireless is inarguably the best U.S. Wireless operator," noting that the 7.7% wireless revenue growth was "easily best in class (AT&T's service revenue growth has likely dipped below 4%)" and that Verizon's profit margin, "already the industry's best, were a clear beat in Q1."
But then there's wireline:
Unfortunately, the Wireline business is… well, it's the Wireline business. It is a drag on growth and a drag on value, and it still accounts for almost half of proportionate revenue and 70% of invested capital. Wireline missed on both revenues and margins. On a (proportionately) consolidated basis, the combination leaves Verizon growing at just 2.7%, less than GDP and less, even, than CPI. A year ago, growth was 3.6%. And if you strip out pass-throughs of iPhones and equipment, proportionately consolidated revenue growth is just 2.0%.
Nomura Equity Research's Mike McCormack reiterates a Neutral rating on the shares, and a $37 price target, noting the 4-percentage-point widening of Verizon's Ebitda margin to 46.3% in the quarter.
He doesn't see the beat, however, shifting full-year estimates one way or another:
Ahead of this morning's results, consensus anticipated 2012 EPS of $2.47, or 12% growth, with $0.57 attributed to 1Q. With 1Q results in hand, unless evidence emerges that D&A benefits will not sustain, estimates are unlikely to adjust meaningfully.

Working on FreeTDS bugs...Microsoft decided under SQL Server 7 to change the default packet size which has caused all kinds of havoc with large querys. I'm glad to finally have a handle on why though.
Been comtemplating how best to debug with a complex system like apache+PHP+FreeTDS+SQL Server, Problem is when you have 30 httpd children running around and you have an intermittant bug it's damn near impossible to catch it. Best I've been able to do is generate tons of logs and hope something gives.
Skipping the presidential debates tonight, think I've seen enough in the first two. (Go Nader!)

So you are filing a complaint that it is still working?
I guess you could file a bug report to the Arduino people saying that your device didn't immediately catch fire like it was supposed to.
No, I just wanted to know if this could damage my arduino and I found a website saying that it would be damaged if you connect 5V< into the 5V outputso I decided to post it in the arduino forum to learn more about it.

Dairy Creates Intestinal Damage
I would like to learn more about dairy causing a leaky intestine.
Is it all dairy? Just cow's milk? Goat's milk? What about fermented dairy, yogurt and cheeses? Does pasteurization matter? Age of introduction? What about cream and butter?
If it hasn't apparently caused a problem for an adult, does it continue to be safe or is it a ticking time bomb?
The mechanism behind dairy causing the damage it does lies in several areas:
1. It stops the formation of glucosamine in the gut lining, thereby creating a leaky gut. (Glucosamine is known to help repair the mucosal-lining defensive barrier in our small intestine.)
2. It impairs immune system development in the gut and the maturation of important immune cells known as T helper cells – this can lead to autoimmune disease, asthma, allergies.
3. The milk from other mammals is too high in protein and phosphorus and the protein damages the gut lining.
4. Dairy products are highly chemically laden, the highest per gram of all food, and are thereby toxic to the gut lining.
5. Dairy creates a mucous "slime" in the lining of the gut that prevents the absorption of some nutrients as well as causing gut inflammation.
As a former dairy-lover, I understand the hopeful questions about yogurt, cheese, pasteurization, goat, sheep, etc. Unfortunately if it's made from the milk of another mammal it's not beneficial for us. Humans are able to digest their mother's milk for the first few years of life only. After that they should no longer have it or anyone else's milk.
I do have one piece of good news – Butter!
Butter is mostly fat and has very few milk solids. Therefore it is fine to consume for most people and the negative effects of the dairy protein are all but absent.
I would caution you to purchase organic butter because hormones are made from fat and we really want to avoid as many exogenous estrogens as possible.
Enjoy some butter!
Until next time, I wish you good health.

Thank you for en interesting blog! Do you have any references for your claims above? Without proofs, it´s hard to believe that dairy products can be that harmful, even though I try to avoid dairy myself. /Mark
I have a casein allergy and I use organic, grass-fed clarified butter (otherwise known as ghee), which is casein-free - all the milk solids are removed. It has a buttery taste, and is chock-full of vitamin A and K.
Thank you for your blog - looking forward to meeting you tomorrow at the conference! - Marisa McLane
I had problems with my ears as a child - recurrent infections, leading to operation after operation. My ENT insisted that 90% of his patients problems were due to a dairy allergy. I cut it out and now if I have a milk, I will get an external cyst on my ear, which has to be removed under anesthetic. I am grateful to my body's quick response to let me know that dairy isn't doing me any good! Thank you for the great article.
I have breast fed my children and now I dont make them consume milk. I don't understand why it is so essential? I will find our vitamins and calcium else where.

Pre-Health Professions Advising
The Pre-Health Professions Advising Office was created in 1966 to help students seeking entry into one of the doctoral level health professions. Over the years the services provided by the office have grown to include: curricular advising, credentialing, programming, administering special programs, and general advising about Binghamton University requirements.
If you're considering a career in health care, you might expect to major in biological or physical sciences. However, it's possible to pursue a non-science major as your path to a health career, provided you achieve a solid grounding in science. Generally, professional schools define such grounding as one year each of college-level inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, biology and English. Some schools also require a year of calculus or college-level mathematics.
The pre-health office can advise you on course selection during your time at Binghamton, as well as suggest summer jobs and provide information about professional schools in health. Our office also maintains a file of letters of recommendation, evaluations from professors and other materials necessary for professional school applications.
So, if you're considering a career in any of these fields:
- Medicine
- Dentistry
- Optometry
- Podiatry
- Veterinary Medicine
- Chiropractic
- Nutrition
- Occupational Therapy
- Pharmacy
- Physical Therapy
- Physician Assistant
Binghamton's Pre-Health Advising Program will take the guesswork out of pursuing advanced studies in any of these fields.
Whether you graduate with a degree in biology or history, you can use your time as an undergraduate to prepare for your chosen career. As individuals who know what it takes to be accepted by professional schools, our staff will help you map out an appropriate course of study and extracurricular activities.
In addition to individual advising sessions, the Pre-Health Office organizes:
- alumni panels
- discussions and workshops
- group information sessions
- application and interview preparation
Please Note: The information on this site is a summary view of materials available in the Freshman-Sophomore Handbook and the Junior-Senior Handbook.
- All Binghamton University Pre-Health Students need to subscribe themselves to the
Pre-Health List Serv by declaring your pre-health area of interest. Once submitted, it will take 3-5 business days
for you to be added to the Listserv.
- Click here for the 2016 Freshman Sophomore Handbook (pdf).
- The Junior-Senior Handbook is not available online. To obtain this handbook, students
must attend the "Junior Pre-Health Meeting", which is announced on the Pre-Health
List Serv and through posted notices.

For Immediate Release: Contact:Ron Harris January 29, 1999 Sharon Snyder Ian Stirton Kelly Huff
WASHINGTON An independent audit of the Federal Election Commission, conducted over the past eight months and submitted to Congress today by the firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), determines that the Commission executes its duties " without partisan bias," and addresses the necessity for Congress to authorize mandatory electronic filing of campaign reports.
The audit was mandated by Congress in 1997, with an earmarked allocation of $750,000 from the FECs FY98 budget. PwC was awarded the audit contract by the General Accounting Office through competitive bidding. The firm began its work in June of 1998 and submitted its final audit report to the GAO, Congress, and the FEC today, January 29, 1999.
In a joint statement, FEC Chairman Scott E. Thomas and Vice Chairman Darryl R. Wold said:
"We are gratified that the PwC review revealed several positive aspects of the FECs operations. Most significantly, PwC noted that the FEC by and large is a competently managed organization with a skilled and motivated staff, that we execute our disclosure and compliance duties without partisan bias, and that there is a high degree of customer satisfaction with our products and services.
"With regard to the various improvement opportunities identified by PwC, we note that several (such as migrating to a new disclosure database and implementing a new computer-based case management system) reflect recommendations or actions already under way or suggested by the FEC itself. Further, several, such as mandatory electronic filing for certain committees, require legislative action.
"We will give each PwC recommendation serious consideration. Some may require additional cost/benefit analysis. We will work closely with Congress to effect those changes that will improve the FECs operations," the Commissioners statement concludes.
In the reports Executive Summary, the PwC auditors state: "The FEC is basically a competently managed organization with a skilled and motivated staff, although it has its shortcomings. The ability of the FEC to adapt to the changing election environment, however, has been hindered by the FECA [Federal Election Campaign Act] statute itself, escalating campaign finance disclosure and compliance workloads, and an organizational culture that has attempted incremental change in a deadline-driven environment stretched by limited resources."
Specific FEC strengths the independent audit report cites include:
Disclosure and compliance activities are executed without a partisan bias. The report gives an "unqualified yes" to the question: "Are FEC programs conducted in a non-partisan, ethical, and independent manner?" The report states that "high ethical standards are espoused throughout the organization," that a "high level of confidentiality is maintained" and there is "no partisan bias evident in the release of public records or information."
On balance, the surveyed filing community is quite satisfied with the products and services provided by the FEC. "While the level of usage of products and services varies, the degree of satisfaction is consistently positive. A telephone survey of 353 randomly selected filers was used to assess satisfaction, and those surveyed filers generally perceived the Commission to be fair and non-partisan. On a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 means poor and 10 means excellent, surveyed filers gave the FEC an average rating of 8 on how well it was doing its job," the report notes.
FEC " places a premium on facilitating voluntary compliance, and the regulated community values the products and services designed and employed by the FEC to enhance this voluntary compliance. "
"Productivity has increased in the processing, review, and dissemination of campaign finance transactions in the face of increasing workloads."
"Confidentiality of potential and existing compliance matters is maintained throughout the report review, referral, audit, and enforcement processes."
Additional findings and recommendations contained in the PwC audit report include:
"The Congress and the FEC need to initiate actions that will eventually allow the FEC to shift some resources from its disclosure activities to its compliance programs by the following means: develop a comprehensive, mandatory electronic data filing system for the major filers in conjunction with a significant business process reengineering throughout the FEC; redesign disclosure processes (using industry standard software) and realign organizational units to improve processing time, accuracy, and cost."
"Unless the paper-based, manual disclosure processes are changed to a mandatory and fully functional electronic filing system, the current well-regarded FEC disclosure function faces deterioration under the rapidly increasing volume of campaign finance transactions expected in future election cycles."
"The Commissions Enforcement Priority System (EPS) is a system for prioritizing enforcement matters in the face of limited staff resources. The EPS is a reasonable triage approach and operates without evident partisan bias. EPS allows the FEC to exercise prosecutorial judgment while providing sufficient structure to differentiate among cases for Commissioner disposition. Improvements to strengthen the accountability of the case activation system and an increase in enforcement resources to expand the number of cases activated for disposition would enhance compliance effectiveness."
The FEC should be authorized to move " non-deliberate and straightforward reporting violations, such as failure to meet reporting deadlines, away from the enforcement process and into an administrative fine system to allow enforcement resources to handle more significant violations."
The reports Executive Summary also notes, "The FEC faces an increasing and volatile workload with the year 2000 election cycle that features a non-incumbent Presidential election. Increased FTE [employees] and automated data processing initiative resources should facilitate improved FEC FY1999 program performance. Depending on the number of Presidential candidate committees, the size of the enforcement caseload and the Commission desire to increase case activation rates, additional compliance resources in FY2000 may be warranted above normal inflation adjusted levels. FY2000 appropriations should be conditioned on the agencys continued progress in implementing opportunities to increase productivity in its disclosure and compliance programs."
The reports summary concludes, "The threat of the increasing volume and volatility of workload for the FEC is real and near. Failure to change will lessen the FEC capacity to meet its basic FECA requirements, while at the same time it will require ever-increasing staff resources to meet those minimal requirements. Change will not be easy, but it will be necessary if the FEC is to meet the difficult challenges it faces. Change will have to come from both inside and outside the FEC. This study has identified many steps that the FEC can take on its own to streamline operations, enhance management practices, and redesign business processes to leverage technology initiatives. However, several actions such as the authorization for mandatory electronic filing, the establishment of an administrative fine system, and the institution of a single point-of-entry for all registered committees will require Congressional action. Without these authorizations, it will be difficult for the FEC to capitalize on the many opportunities identified."

The University of Arkansas Rice Research and Extension Center (RREC) is located nine miles east of Stuttgart on Highway 130, in the heart of the famous Grand Prairie rice-growing region. The first land acquired for the Center was deeded in 1927, when a group of farmers and the UA recognized the need for locally-conducted rice research. Subsequent land acquisitions were added to what is now 1,022 acres devoted to research in rice and rotation crops such
as soybean and wheat. In combination with the USDA/ARS National Rice Research Center located next door, the RREC is the largest rice research location in the U.S. and is well known worldwide. Students, interns, and research and industry professionals visit frequently, staying from a day to a few years.

text: I have been considering this ever since I got the thing. The 16 launchers are kinda fun, but cleaning up and reloading those missiles is a pain in the butt, and they go off by themselves and get lost very easily. I went to unscrew one pod today, and found that the bottom cap is glued over the end, so that would need to be removed, and then it gets into the integrity of the joint. So I was wondering if anybody else had tried this, and what were the results they got.

No jabbas. They did have a few TF Drifts though iirc. Not much CW or legends, in fact i don't remember any. I should've looked at the cases on the cart more thoroughly for the jabba in retrospect. ah well, time to get ready & mail away for RF fett!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Ok, gotta be quick b/c i'm cooking but, I DID go outside and....La Cienega TRU had 4 or 5 vintage fetts. If ur still lookin, go there. They also had the new "Legacy" 2 packs - Anakin to Vader, Fett and Grievous packs. Pretty cool looking, but i have all those figs. Also had a cool IM2 battlepack with IM, Nick Fury and 2 Battle Drones. The drones were awesome, but I couldn't get over the pink knees on the Mk VI armor. Eww. $25 for the IM pack. $18 for the SW 2 packs.
the big discovery (post a pic later) was at Culver city TRU -- the new CW Slave 1 UBP!!! They had 2. $99 a piece. Maybe I have one of the first Socal/LA spottings??!? Also had some at-ats on sale.
edit: cool. finally figured out how to add attachments

ha. Saw the ARC and Y-wing on "clearance" at K-mart the other day for $50 or $52.
wow. No one cares about the Slave 1 pack --not even rebelscum. (really brief mention - but no "found" headline.) weak!! I know CV is overshadowing everything, but come on!!! People have found this in 3+ states already
I got Slave-One this morning. I'll probably open this set in a few hours or so here.
It looks awesome!
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I just opened Slave-One and I can say it's already set-up for an OT version!
In the interior there's a plug-hole in the wall where I bet you could hang carbon-frozen Han Solo - though I imagine he'd go in the prisoner holding cell that the current cage fits into now - so you can accurately take Solo up the ramp.
Nicely done!
There's also space above the cockpit (accessable unfortunately only by swinging open the whole cockpit loading panel (with the window in it).
I think for the PT / CW version they could have added another firing weapon feature like the "gatling gun" 4-shooter on the AOTC version that I like so much. It couldn't be rear-activated, but you could have it shoot some other way, or install the pop-out missile launcher on the side like Jango used vs. Obi-Wan.
Overall, I really, really like this one. It's so worth it!
