Research shows that light ,which influences reproductive cycles, sleeping and eating patterns and activity levels, are mediated through the pineal gland in the brain. The pineal gland secretes a hormone, melatonin. Normally, in animals and people, melatonin is released at night and turned off during the day.
SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder is a condition seen as the days grow shorter throughout the Fall and Winter seasons causing people to become sad, irritable, anxious, sleepy, socially withdrawn and uninterested in work and play. Conversely, appetite increases and they crave carbohydrates, commonly leading to weight gain.

Who's Playing?
The Vols: #15 Mikelis Libietis, #34 Hunter Reese, Brandon Fickey, Jarryd Chaplin, Edward Jones, Taylor Patrick, John Collins.
About the Tournament: This is the second-annual Tennessee Fall Invitational, bringing in many schools from around the region and beyond at the Vols' Barksdale Stadium and nearby Tyson Park.
Seven of the eight Vols on the roster will be in action this weekend, including defending top-flight singles and doubles champion Mikelis Libietis.
Libietis made his collegiate debut a memorable one a year ago at the Tennessee Fall Invitational, winning five singles matches and beating fellow then-freshman Brandon Fickey in thesingles final. He also picked up his first doubles title that day with Jarryd Chaplin.
There will be three 32-player singles draws this weekend, though the third draw features only 18 players.
Singles, Orange Flight: Libietis is one of four Vols in the 32-player top flight in singles and is the No. 1 seed. Hunter Reese is seeded No. 2, Fickey is No. 3 and Chaplin is No. 5.
Reese, whose run at last year's Tennessee Fall Invitational was cut short by an ankle injury, has been off to a fast start to his sophomore season. He leads the team with an 8-3 record with four of those wins coming against ranked opponents.
Singles, White Flight: Senior John Collins will make his home debut at Tennessee this weekend. The lefty transfer from Maryland is playing in the White flight, as are seniors Taylor Patrick and Edward Jones.
Tennessee took two doubles titles last year at the inaugural Tennessee Fall Invitational and likely would have won a third if Reese had not had to withdraw from the tournament because of injury.
In addition to Libietis and Chaplin's win in the top flight of singles, Fickey won the third flight of doubles last year with graduated senior Bryan Swartz, who will be back at Tennessee this weekend working with Winthrop's tennis program.
This weekend, there will be five doubles flights with eight teams per flight.
Doubles, Goodfriend Draw: Tennessee has two new doubles teams playing together in the Goodfriend flight. Jones and Collins, both veteran doubles players, will team up in the top half of the bracket. Reese will play with Fickey in the bottom half of the draw. While the two have not played official collegiate matches together, they did team up in the summer of 2011 for the ITA SummerCircuit.
Doubles, Smokey Draw: Chaplin and Libietis will team up for the second time this season. The two reached the quarterfinals of the ITA All-AmericanChampionships last week, picking up a top-10 victory along the way. Chaplinalready has one doubles title to his name this year, having won the Baylor HEB Intercollegiate with Jones.
Doubles, Volunteer Draw: Because of an odd number of Vols, Patrick will play doubles with Xavier's Robert Torsch this weekend.
Orange Draw: Mikelis Libietis (Tennessee)
White Draw: Bryan Swartz (Tennessee)
Volunteer Draw: Joao Maio (Eastern Kentucky)
Orange Draw: Mikelis Libietis/Jarryd Chaplin (Tennessee)
White Draw: Ankit Chopra/Roberto Vieiera (Chattanooga)
Volunteer Draw: Brandon Fickey/Bryan Swartz (Tennessee)

Jon Pierpont, acting executive director for Utah's Department of Workforce Services, met with low-income advocates Monday in an attempt to start mending relationships that have deteriorated due to an apparent shift in the agency's focus.
Workforce Services determines who qualifies for more than 150 assistance programs, from Medicaid to food stamps to unemployment. Pierpont started as a frontline eligibility worker with the department 20 years ago and has since worked in several management posts. Only a few weeks into his new role, he said he personally invited the advocates because they often serve the same customers and share "crossover" issues, which he hopes to solve together.
"We had ongoing advocate meetings for years and years," Pierpont said, acknowledging that "we haven't done that in the most recent past."
In 2007, Kristen Cox took over the reins of the statewide agency and steered DWS through a period of modernization and sweeping structural changes. Rumblings of workplace unrest led to the commission of a legislative audit this summer, which is still in progress.
In late August, Gov. Gary Herbert tapped Cox to head his new Office of Management and Budget. Pierpont, Cox's deputy director, moved up to temporarily fill the agency's top slot.
"The elephant in the room is … the culture over the last few years on Workforce Service's side that the focus seems to have moved somewhat away from customer service" toward streamlining electronic systems, said Barbara Munoz, health policy associate for the nonprofit Voices for Utah Children.
Between 2008 and 2012, the agency's public assistance caseload grew by 50 percent while the ranks of full-time eligibility workers shrank by 26 percent.
"Our concern … is to make sure that the department is moving in a direction of customer focus," Munoz said, "making sure there are still people available to answer questions either on the phone or in person."
Cox told lawmakers earlier this year that staff costs to handle each case decreased from $57.66 to $35. The agency's automated call center averaged more than 100,000 calls each month during the second half of 2011, and about one-third of those calls dropped off due to wait times of 13 to 20 minutes.
Judi Hilman, executive director of Utah Health Policy Project, pointed to the agency's downsizing and asked Pierpont if there were incentives in place for getting people into programs rather than keeping them out.
Hilman also voiced concern about a "huge ramp-up of eligibility coming in 2014" due to portions of the Affordable Care Act taking effect. With budgetary constraints beginning to ease, Hilman wondered if any staffing reductions would be restored.
Pierpont agreed to share budget information and reasons for what the agency does and why at their next joint session. The group decided to begin meeting the first Wednesday of each month at 1:30 p.m. Advocates will forward their top issues to Gina Cornia, executive director for Utahns Against Hunger, who will set the agenda.
"Decision-makers need to be present," said Glenn Bailey, executive director for the nonprofit Crossroads Urban Center, "and there needs to be an interactive discussion not just 'this is what we're doing, see you next time.'"
Pierpont pledged to attend every meeting. "Whatever the issue, I will be here, actively engaged," Pierpont said.
"That's an excellent start," Bailey replied.
Whether the governor will make Pierpont's role permanent remains to be seen. Pierpont said he has no plans for big changes yet. "I think we're on the right track," he said.
Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck, D-Salt Lake City, attended Monday's session and said she would be "very happy" to see Pierpont continue as executive director.
"There's a lot to be said for someone who has come up through the ranks," Chavez-Houck said, "and has an understanding of the history and a broader feel for the consumers and individuals that they serve."

I need a few different opinions...What color do you think this jumpsuit is?
Post your opinions....
I need a few different opinions...What color do you think this jumpsuit is?
Post your opinions....
Looks like banana paste. Maybe a soft, soft yellow.
Maybe with a hint of the ROTJ color suit...
To me...it looks like REALLY DIRTY White...like how painter's pants get after they've been used for a gazillion years...but I could be wrong
I was thinking maybe off white?
Anybody else?
The vest and upper sleeves look white, but the lower sleeves look gray.
Do you have a larger pic?
That would help.
Need a bigger pic,, BUT from what I can see its looks off white or maybe a really light gray.
I would say a very...and I mean very light beige. If not egg shell white would work too.
Looks like weathered tan to me
why dose he look like he's on the Death Star? and It looks alot like the ROJ suit just with more of a sandy tone about it
It looks like a light tan or off white to me.
Looks like a light tan/warm gray to me.
actually It looks like when I wear a white shirt for 5 days. lol
Is this a suit especially made to represent Jodo or is it just a Boba pic with a PHOTOSHOP work on the colors?
sandy/sweaty/ white lol. it was white.. really.. but he hasnt washed in in months.. so.. well.. you know.. dirty job.. dirty cloths.
It looks like a photoshop job to me, a good one but one non the less. Perhaps it is the ROTJ color suit that the bleached out a little in photoshop giving it a really light off white color.

Recently a reader wrote in asking about a problem when pasting pictures in MS Word:
When I do a print screen of my desktop and paste in Word, I get a blank box with dashes, yet it works perfectly when I paste in Outlook. Is there any particular reason for this?
Since systems always vary, it could be a multitude of issues but the most common reason I've run across is in the options of Word.
Basically there's a setting that will have Word load pictures as a simple placeholder.
Why would anyone use this?
The most common reason is to speed things up when working on a document with a lot of pictures. The scrolling is much, much faster if Word is not trying to load the pictures every time you scroll through the document.
That being said the next logical thought is to wonder how to change that setting.
As I mentioned before, it's a setting found in Word' options. Depending upon the version of Word you're running they are accessed via the Tools menu (for versions older than 2007), the Office Button (Word 2007) or the File tab of the Ribbon (Word 2010).
Once you're into the Options dialog box you'll need to locate the settings for what content Word displays – looking for a reference to picture placeholders.
In the newer versions, you'll find that in the Advanced Options / Show Document Content section.
Deselect the "Show Picture Placeholders" option and click OK.
That should do the trick – pictures should now be visible in your documents from this point forward.

Rare iguana perishes in Mystic Aquarium fire
Mystic — A fire at Mystic Aquarium early Sunday claimed the life of a rare iguana, fire officials say.
The fire was contained to a 6-by-6 foot exhibit housing the iguana, located behind the reception area of the aquarium's main building. When the Old Mystic Fire Department responded to a fire alarm at 6:05 a.m., firefighters encountered smoke in the building and found a sprinkler head that had activated above the reptile exhibit, according to Chief Kenneth Richards.
Richards said the sprinkler helped contain the fire to the one room and firefighters used a small pressurized water tank to extinguish the fire.
Firefighters also spent several hours working with aquarium staff to clean up the water. No injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the Old Mystic Fire Marshal and an investigator hired by the aquarium's insurance company, Richards said.
A representative from the aquarium could not be reached for comment. The aquarium's website lists the Grand Cayman Blue Iguana as one of their featured species.

Gator Baseball Takes Game One in Series Over UConn
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Junior Casey Turgeon (Palm Harbor, Fla.) delivered a game-winning, two-out single in the 11th inning to score junior Josh Tobias (Greensboro, N.C) from second base with the game's lone run as Florida (8-6) nipped UConn (4-6), 1-0, in the opener of the teams' weekend series at McKethan Stadium on Friday night.
In the 11th, Tobias (3-for-4) led off with a single up the middle off of Huskies' freshman Patrick Ruotolo (1-1). Facing freshman reliever Anthony Kay, freshman Buddy Reed (Finksburg, Md.) laid down a sacrifice bunt that moved Tobias into scoring position. After sophomore Richie Martin (Brandon, Fla.) lined out to second base, ending his hitting streak at a career-high 17 games, Turgeon (2-for-3, two walks) roped a 2-0 offering into right field that brought home Tobias with the winning run.
Freshman starter Logan Shore (Coon Rapids, Minn.) hurled a career-high seven scoreless innings and allowed only a pair of singles, with four strikeouts and a walk. Over 20 innings to begin his career, he has permitted one earned run and boasts a 0.45 ERA.
Four other pitchers turned in scoreless outings for Florida, junior Bobby Poyner (Wellington, Fla.) (0.2 IP, 1 H), junior Ryan Harris (Jupiter, Fla.) (2.0 IP, 2 H), freshman Kirby Snead (Alachua, Fla.) (0.2 IP) and sophomore Eric Hanhold (Palm Harbor, Fla.) (0.2 IP, 1 H). Hanhold (2-1) picked up the win as the Orange and Blue posted their third shutout of the season, one more than all of last spring.
In the seventh, junior Justin Shafer (Lake Wales, Fla.) legged out a bunt single and advanced to third base on a single by Reed on a hit-and-run. Martin attempted to drive in Shafer with a squeeze bunt but the Huskies threw out Shafer at the dish. Redshirt junior left-hander David Mahoney replaced redshirt junior Jordan Tabakman (6.2 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 3 K) and walked Turgeon to load the bases. He worked out of the jam by having freshman Peter Alonso (Tampa, Fla.) fly out to left field.
Poyner took over for Shore prior to the eighth inning and retired the first two Huskies before a single by sophomore Jack Sundberg ricocheted off of the pitcher's leg. Harris was summoned from the bullpen and Sundberg was caught stealing to end the frame.
Junior Taylor Gushue (Boca Raton, Fla.) greeted Ruotolo with a leadoff double into right center in the home part of the frame but the pitcher responded with a strikeout of junior Braden Mattson (San Antonio, Texas) on a bunt attempt. A grounder by junior pinch hitter Zack Powers (Seffner, Fla.) pushed Gushue to third, but Shafer went down swinging to keep the zeroes on the scoreboard.
UConn threatened in the 10th, when sophomore Max McDowell had a one-out double to left field and junior Jon Testani followed with a walk. A fielder's choice by freshman Aaron Hill erased Testani at second and advanced McDowell to third base. With Snead replacing Harris on the mound, the Huskies attempted a double steal and McDowell was tagged out by Gushue.
Postgame Quotes
Head coach Kevin O'Sullivan
On tonight's series opener between Gators & Huskies:
"It was one of those games where every pitch mattered. You know, it was maybe one of those wins where this thing gets us jump-started a little bit. It was really good to see Josh (Tobias) start off the 11th there and get a hit. I thought Richie Martin's at-bat was really good – he hit the ball hard and that's all you can ask to have a good at-bat. Then, Casey (Turgeon) got into an offensive count and got a good swing on it. From that perspective, it was a really good inning obviously. Just trying to play for one run there but obviously there are some things we need to improve on. We missed a couple sac bunts tonight, missed a couple hit-and-runs, we had two opportunities with runners at third and we didn't execute. I want the players to enjoy this win tonight. This is a hard-fought win tonight and we will go over some of the mistakes tomorrow. Tonight I want them to feel good about it."
Freshman right-hander Logan Shore
On his first start on a Friday night:
"Coming in here as a freshman, especially with our freshmen class, there are a lot of expectations put on us. It is certainly one of my goals to be in the weekend rotation, but to start off the weekend, my goal is to make myself the best I can be and to go out there and help the team win in any way possible. Hopefully, I can keep it going. I try to treat it like every other start, but I know it wasn't like every other start in the back of my mind. I just try to keep everything under control, and keep the adrenaline under control and stay within myself, not trying to do too much."
Sophomore second baseman Casey Turgeon
On tonight's win over UConn:
"That hit was the pitch I was looking for and I got it. We ended up with the win; we needed that win. Logan Shore came out tonight and threw the ball unbelievable again. I give all the credit to our pitching tonight. All of the freshmen have something to prove and he's the one who stepped up and said, "I'll take that job." He did a great job with it and it was a fantastic night. Hopefully, his next start is just as good."
Postgame Notes
· With a single in the third inning, freshman Peter Alonso extended his hitting streak to seven games.
· Freshman Logan Shore pitched a career-high seven innings, the longest outing by a Gator pitcher this season. Shore faced 25 batters, striking out four and allowing just two hits and a walk.
· Junior Taylor Gushue notched the Gators' only extra-base hit with a double in the eighth inning.
· Florida entered extra innings for the first time this season. In records dating back to 1984, the Gators had not played a scoreless game into the 10th inning.
· Sophomore shortstop Richie Martin was unable to get a hit, ending his career-best 17-game hitting streak. Martin also did not reach base for the first time in 32 games, dating back to last season.
· Junior second baseman Casey Turgeon, who brought in Josh Tobias with the winning run, recorded his fifth multi-hit game of the season.
· Six Gators combined for nine hits against the Huskies, led by junior third baseman Josh Tobias with three. Tobias notched his second multi-hit game of the season and extended his hitting streak to four games.
· The Florida pitching staff combined for five strikeouts, while UConn pitchers totaled six strikeouts.
· Before tonight, UF's last extra-inning game was a 3-2 triumph over Tennessee on April 27, 2013.

text: From what I've heard, the Lions didn't even offer him a contract. Actually, the last I heard Duckett say, he hadn't even heard from the Lions since the end of the season. How can a team that needs help at RB and has been talking about "pounding the rock" not even talk to this guy? It sounded like TJ really wanted to stay a Lion (which is rare in and of itself) and most likely would have given the team a home town discount. They'd rather look at aging, injury prone players than a guy that proved he could get it done behind our crappy O-line. A young player entering his prime, who combines good speed with great toughness.

Ok, this is the sixth helmet I'm trying to paint. (Number four and five can be looked at
http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...+post+practice ) Here's my progress so far. I used the paints as listed in Rogue Studios List. For the shading I always used the same paint and added a few drops of black dull color. Exept for the kill stripes; here I used a few red coughs on the last right stripes.
Now I would like to ask the master painters a question: What is the best method to apply the battle damaged paint job in the most accurate way? Until now I did the tracing always "free hand/free eye style". Is there a better way? Any other suggestions or valuable tips are appreciated.

Attending A College Fair?
Here are some tips from the other side of the table.
The Fall season means the start of classes for all the students at Multnomah, but for me Fall is the beginning of "travel season". Each year I spend most of September and October attending college fairs in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Each night I get the same questions and give out tons of information. I also pick up on a lot of common themes. By this point, I've noticed there are a lot of students who know what they are doing - but even more who don't have a clue! Read the rest of this entry »

Jacksons Two Rivers Handmade Watercolour Paper : NOT surface : 140lb : 22x30in : 20 sheets
Made exclusively for Jackson s by the Two Rivers paper mill in Somerset.
This paper is conservation quality, made with 100% cotton and linen rag and very hard sized. This means that the surface is incredibly tough, allowing the artist to work the surface for much longer than with more absorbent artists papers. Because the paint is not drawn into the paper the pigment dries to a sharp and brilliant finish. The inclusion of linen in its make-up results in an unusually tough surface which will resist much lifting out, scrubbing and re-working.
Reassuringly, the 400 year old mill is also hydro powered making it very environmentally friendly.
TR has a unique random surface texture unlike the mechanically even weave of most other branded papers. This also means that there is not a right or wrong side as both sides are identical. As well as watercolour, our papers are used for other media including pastels, oils, printmaking, photographic processes and many types of mixed media.
The NOT surface is slightly rougher than most.

converting flatbed into tilt trailer
has anyone taken a regular flat bed trailer and converted it into a tilt trailer? i'm pondering doing this with my trailer as i'm sick of lugging around 120 lbs of ramps, as well as not being able to pick up low profile cars such as my camaro. my main questions are what sort of hinges would suffice for a 10k capacity trailer and what kind of locking mechanism to hold the front down? i would probably put some type of electric over hydraulic cylinder to help lift the trailer but idk where to find a good but inexpensive 12v pump.

Buy a good tongue jack and you can lift the front of the trailer 4-6" easily with the trailer still hooked to the tow rig. Then buy good aluminum ramps. That will be far cheaper (and safer) than any conversion. I've done the process above numerous times with low clearance cars.

if this trailer has tandem axles, you would not be able to make the trailer tilt away from the tongue as some trailers do, you would need 1 frame that holds the suspension and both axles, and the tongue would be attached to that, and then the deck and its frame would sit on top of that and have a set of pivot points behind the last axle, so that the axles/tires sit flat on the ground at all times, and the entire deck pivots down and away from the tires.
Hardly seems worth it to me...build a low angle beavertail, and get some longer ramps...may also try to lower the suspension and/or tire size on the trailer, or jack up the tongue as Bones suggested.

it might be over kill but talk to some of the contruction companys they might have an old dump truck you can buy the whole system for. i just put on on a buddy of mine straight truck ( for hauling corn) and they charged him 700 for all of it, he did have to send the cylinder to have new seals but i dont think it was to expensive.

the problem i have with lowering the trailer is that the axles are centered on the trailer which means if i lower it when i go over inclines or down driveways the tail end will scrape bad on the pavement. i've discovered that if i don't have the trailer attached to my truck i can raise the front enough to get a car on it but then reattaching the trailer with a 3500 lb car on it is a challenge. my original plan was to buy a flatbed unit from a wrecker and attach it to the trailer frame. that cost almost as much as buying a powered tilt trailer. the one i priced out was 6400 plus tax. so i'm trying to build my own cheap alternative.

I would get some nice, heavy duty aluminum ramps and if need be drop the ass of the deck by making it into a beaver tail. If you don't want to buy new ramps, get some angle iron and weld it onto the bottom of the trailer to create rails to slide the ramps in and out of. I did this on mine and now the ramps don't bother me at all.

At work we are taking a triple axle trailer and making it a double axle dually gooseneck that tilts, and is going to be rated at 30,000. There actually isn't that much more to it to make it tilt, although I don't really like the idea and thinks it's a waste of time (for what we are using it for). Just seems like more to go wrong and something else to deal with.
It will work sorta like this one, but will go up like a foot.

DO NOT use hinges from a home improvement store they can't hold the load.
Make the hinges. a u-shaped piece of steel (1/4" thick) with at least 1/2" grade 8 bolts (12,000 lb. clamp load). A-frame tounge right, remove it (make sure not to damage it), align the "hangers" with the tounge ( at the end furthest from the hitch), weld them on the fame of the trailer drill holes through the ends of the toung and hangers. Run a bar across the a frame at the front edge of the deck and put a hanger across the deck of the trailer over the bar, dril holes install hitch pin. Then you have a tilting trailer.
tipping is gonna depend on the trailer (I have one that as soon as you pull the pin on the unloaded trailer it tips on its own).

The tilt trailer I have uses a 3" od tube on the a frame for the tounge and a 3" id tube on the trailer. It has tandem axles so when it tilts the front axle will come off the ground, has never been a problem and we have loaded the lift truck on there at 10,000+. For the lifting it just uses what looks like a chain binder/turnbuckle that you crank up and down. As long as you keep your load centered it works pretty good.

I have a tilt trailer and you don't need any hydrolics to work it. If done properly when you unlatch the front the bed tilts via gravity and when you drive on its balanced correctly so it returns to normal on its own. The you just relatch it. The only thing I don't like about mine is that I have to remove a fender to get my jeep on and off so it doesn't really save me any time in the end. I had to add weight into the counter balance area of mine to get it to lower on its own since I have a winch on the front throwing off the balance a bit.

Converting to tilting bed
Kodiak450r If you put a couple of hydraulic cylinders towards the rear of tractor one on each side that will lift the back of your truck and the front of trailer and drop the back of trailer down. You may need to put blocks front and back of front tires when loading and unloading. As recommended before the aluminum ramps should help too. Good luck
p.s. just don't forget to lift cylinders all the way up before driving or they might catch on a rail road track. OUCH!

Ok guys. I can't sleep and have been working on a new blind on a new hull. Its coming along well. I wanted something low profile to get away from the boxy, big square pop up blinds. I'm running an original wigeon with a copperhead SD.
I recycled most everything from my old pop up. The green mesh is plastic vine fence from home depot
I used a rivet gun to attach small 1/4" wire clips to fasten the mesh to.
I then used zipties to fasten the mesh to the hull
Found a pair of scissors and began hacking my old fast grass to fit. I cut two sets of doors as we will be ksitting in the bottom of the boat.
got this much done so far. should be ready to rock come opening day.

Use Upstream OE and BitBake
From AragoWiki
Arago provides own snapshots of OpenEmbedded .dev branch and slightly modified upstream BitBake - those are available in the arago-oe-dev and arago-bitbake repositories.
The reason for providing own snapshot of OpenEmbedded .dev branch is to ensure it builds and works with the Arago overlay. The nature of the OE .dev development branch is that it moves rapidly and some new features may be too invasive, changing old interfaces, breaking overlays like Arago, which depend on them. Normally, arago-oe-dev gets synced up with upstream weekly, unless there is a breakage which needs to be addressed.
Arago's BitBake repository is based on the upstream BitBake with few modifications, allowing it to work from behind very strict firewalls.
It is possible to use upstream versions of OE .dev and BitBake, if you know what you are doing and above mentioned issues don't scare you.
bin/ directory should be in your
PATH environment variable:
$ export PATH=/path/to/upstream/bitbake/bin:$PATH
OpenEmbedded .dev snapshot is specified by
BBPATH variable, which is set by
arago/setenv script. As well as listed in the
COLLECTIONS variable, set by the
arago/conf/local.conf. Update those files accordingly, to point to your own OE .dev snapshot:
export BBPATH=$OEBASE/arago:$OEBASE/openembedded
COLLECTIONS = "${OEBASE}/arago/ ${OEBASE}/openembedded/"
Attention! This is considered an advanced use of Arago and if anything fails, please first try reverting back to provided snapshots before reporting issues.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Senior center Waltiea Rolle powered her way to a career-high 24 points as the No. 21 North Carolina women's basketball team defeated Radford 64-44 Wednesday in Carmichael Arena.
Rolle also chipped in five blocks and seven rebounds in her effort, while freshman forward Xylina McDaniel put up 16 points, shooting 10-for-12 from the free-throw line, and eight boards.
Senior forward Krista Gross led the Tar Heels' defensive effort, posting a career-high 17 rebounds alongside her nine points. Twelve of those rebounds came on the defensive end against a scrappy Highlander squad.
Rolle also led all scorers at the half with 13 points, four rebounds and two blocks, while Gross chipped in 11 boards and six points.
UNC outrebounded the Highlanders 31-11 before the break, as the Tar Heels worked their way to a 33-10 lead. That impressive rebounding margin continued by game's end, as North Carolina controlled the glass 52-27.
Radford struck first in Wednesday's game, before North Carolina took a lead it would not give up. The Tar Heels opened their effort with a 3-pointer from Megan Buckland before embarking on a 13-2 run.
North Carolina continued pushing the pace in the first half and shot 43.3 percent for a quickly growing lead. That lead stayed steady in the second half, as Rolle continued to power the Tar Heels' offense underneath the basket. In total, UNC shot 32 points in the paint.
Radford did close the game to within 13 points with 6:14 left in the game thanks to an aggressive approach to its defense. Although the Tar Heels committed 31 turnovers, a Gross three-pointer and responsive North Carolina offense finished strong on a 27-11 run in the middle of the second half.
Freshman guard Diani Mason led the Highlanders with 10 points, as the only Radford player to score in double digits.
The Tar Heels next face North Carolina Central on Wednesday, Dec. 12, at 11 a.m.

Continuing Use of Withdrawal as a Contraceptive Method in Iran
taken great strides in raising contraceptive prevalence rate and reducing
fertility. The most recent national survey conducted in 2000 indicated
a contraceptive prevalence rate of 74 and a TFR of 2.0 for the country as
whole. This paper reviews the latest data on the extent of use of withdrawal by Iranian couples and identifies the social and demographic characteristics of
women relying on this method. It is shown that women using this traditional
method are more likely to be urban, come from the more developed provinces, and have higher levels of education. The experience of
unintended pregnancy among withdrawal user is not more than the women who use modern contraceptives such as the pill.

Yea hair pills do work. I was taking nutralite for hair skin and nails and they did help my hair grow faster. Biotin supplements work too if you want to go a generic route. And there are homemade ways you can do steam treatments here's a link if you want to experiment.I wanted to save up for a Heautiful Hair Steamer but I found my dryer and thought that'd be okay. And after a few weeks of trying this CG method I'll see if I still need the professional help. I still might get a steamer of my own though. Thank you! I also heard hairfinity pills do wonders for some peoples hair so I'm considering that too!I think the coconut cowash works really good it doesn't have any sulfates or silicones and it helps prevent buildup in my hair between shampoos.
I use heat on my hair during deep conditioning and that doesn't do a thing so I'm not sure if I'll bother going to a salon for steam treatments. And co-washing I'm considering. I actually might get the coconut co-washing thing. Is that a good product?
And steamers are different from just applying heat when deep conditioning because it helps penetrate the hair shaft with water instead of dry heat. I know deep conditioners didn't do much for my hair when it was relaxed nor when I was natural with or without heat. It wasn't until I started getting steam treatments that I actually saw a difference with moisture in my hair. I mean its worth a shot seeing as how nothing else has seemed to work and salons typically charge between $20-$40 to get it done.
I hope you find something that works because i know first hand how horrible dry hair can be. I was at my wits end quite a few times dealing with how brittle and rough my hair was that I too thought only going back to a relaxer would help me manage my hair and not leave it so dry, but I'm glad I didn't.
Don't give up though I'm sure your solution is out there

Many of us can quote the wonderful statement attributed to Abraham Lincoln: "All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." Mother's Day is upon us, and many mothers don't feel angelic.
However, today's mothers are almost superhuman. With sports events and lessons all over the map, they are dedicated chauffeurs. They are organizers, not only of time, but of equipment and attire.
Mothers are appreciators of their child's first flicker of talent, the teachers of first steps and words and on to complicated skills.
They are counselors for school and careers as well as how to mend a broken heart. They are empathizers to dreamers and to those who take paths less traveled.
Mothers are the warriors who take down worrisome fears and imaginary monsters, enablers for fantastic science projects and slick Pinewood Derby cars. They are the steady hand and the unfailing believers in their children infant or adult.
Mothers do it all, some dressed as the professionals they are, some in faded jeans and Keds, bag packed with juice, food, diapers and wipe-ups and cell phone in hand. Surely, they must have angel hearts!

So then I got it... Why not start an Girth belt run (red ones ofcourse)
I have no Ideé of how much it will cost?
If there is enought intrest I will update this thread with price and wich sizes there will be.
So here is an intrested list!

|poncho62, You are right ,his car is a 4dr sedan. Got my first car when I was 14. It was a 1962 IMPALA 4dr sedan with 90,000 miles one owner my great aunt. It had a 283 powerglide,p/s p/b,ac,I had a lot of fun in it.I put chrome reverse with baby moons all around,lifted rear with air shocks and had L60X15 tires in rearand of course a cherry bomb. Chromed out the engine and other under hood parts.Wish I had a picture of it.Here is a pic of an SS I owned later.I have had 3 all together.Two where 2dr hard tops.
Parts for 4 drs are not as available because they are not as popular as the 2 drs. However, you can get parts cheaper at wrecking yards etc, for the same reason.
I had a lot of the same problems with my 62 Canadian Pontiac.........The body parts are not the same as the American cars.....had to make most parts.
BTW..I looked at your pics in your intro....Your car is a sedan not a hardtop. A hardtop has no post between the side windows.

All 62 Impala/Bel Air Info (4dr Only)
I don't want to sound like a leech or something, but since buying my project, I have found info on 100's of cars, but barely any for this body style. Whenever I call someone, they'll basically tell me good luck when it comes to getting a full quarter panel (including the piece under the door). So I figured that I'd use some of my personal (unused) web space to create a homepage full of the 4dr Ht body style info (which I have yet to find much). If there is anyone who has info on this body style, please let me know so I can have a place for others to learn as they get to know me as an individual.

Laurent Koscielny recently granted an interview to France Football.
You can now read the English translation as Laurent talks about adapting to the Premier League and Arsenal's recovery from a tough start to the season.
Laurent, did the player who was still playing in Ligue 2 less than three years ago felt he'd landed on a different planet when he discovered Arsenal?
I had formed an idea of what I could expect in England, but I had to see things with my own eyes. For me, it was the best league in Europe. All the ingredients are there for that. You've got attacking players who're physically very strong, the pace is very quick, the intensity of the games is incomparable – and not to the prejudice of technique. I naturally needed a period of adaptation to take stock of all of this, in particular when it comes to physical impact and game intensity.
You can't have forgotten your first match for Arsenal...
Oh, that first game, against Liverpool, I remember it well! (laughs) First, there is the Joe Cole tackle on me, which got him a red card. I was really scared – he could've broken my leg. But I came back into the game.... until I too received a red card towards the end! I really went through many emotions that day, but, all in all, playing my first game in England at Anfield, that was something huge for me.
Did you tell yourself straight away: careful, there are many things I need to change in my game?
It's first and foremost a question of mentality. In France, when you're 2-0 up, the other team stops playing and tries not to concede again. Here, your opponent doesn't let go, they still try to score. Given the atmosphere in the grounds and the support of the fans, they can flip a game on its head in a matter of minutes. You must imperatively be focused from the first minute to the last: you never know what's round the corner. A dead-ball situation, a goal, and the house is on fire!
I also had to work on the purely athletic side of my game. I don't have the build of a 'physical' stopper. And the intensity of the training sessions isn't the same. Here at Arsenal, we've got one session per day, which lasts one hour and a half; and during this hour and a half, you don't stop. Everything's done so that you're at your maximum, from the warm-up to the end of the session. So, at the beginning, it was tough for me, I could feel I was really stretching my engine... all the more so that, at Lorient, [manager] Christian Gourcuff tended not to call on me for the first two days of the week, after which I re-integrated into the squad. Here, I had to do a lot of work with the trainers to get in the right shape.
Were you surprised by the type of forwards you had to defend against?
England, in the past, it was 'hoof it' - but that's over. You've got every kind of striker: a Drogba, who is so strong his back to goal; Peter Crouch, who's 2 metres tall; Kun Agüero, who's 1 metre 50, but who's so fast! (laughs) It's not the worse for that: you taste everything, you improve more quickly. You encounter a different problem every week. One week, it'll be header after header, because you're playing a team like Stoke, who like to play long balls; the next, your job will be to pass the ball out of defence. The diversity of the attacking players you face pushes you ahead. In my first year at the club, I was a novice. To play against opponents as different as I had to made me improve.
Does a central defender have to adopt a different kind of positioning in the Premier League?
When I was in France, I liked to 'stick' to the forwards, because I had the ability to go in front of them; it was easier for me, because those forwards were not as strong as they're here, when you're sometimes playing against huge guys who weigh 90 kilos and are still able to switch direction. I told myself 'wait a bit, move back one or two yards'. That way, I can see whether his first touch will take him left or right, I can intercept, and initiate play from the back.
We worked on my positioning - because of the physical impact of English forwards. But, wait, even if I'm someone who likes the beautiful game, I also enjoy the physical side of it. 'Go to war' - no worries! (laughs) English referees aren't as card happy [as French ones], and I'm not unhappy that they let the game flow a bit more. In France, it's constant whistling. The halves don't last 45 minutes, but 40! Here, there's no play-acting... when it's tough, it's tough. And it isn't the worse for it. There's no cheating, and that's a good thing.
Which strikers have caused you the most problems in England?
You want names? Ah, it depends. There are games when you feel well, and others - like the one at Liverpool, this season - when I didn't feel at my top, physically speaking, and Luis Suarez caused me problems on several occasions. Football is bizarre. You're good one game and, the next, you have the same desire, but you lose more 50/50s, because you don't feel quite as well. But there are forwards who will always ask you questions. Drogba. Rooney. Guys whom you know can make the difference with one touch, or one pass.
On September 15, Arsenal is 17th in the league table. Beginning of May, you're third. Do you have an explanation for that?
The beginning of the season was a catastrophe. We'd lost players who were key to our system. We recruited late, and it took a while for us to gel. We were whopped at Old Trafford. Everybody thought we were dead and buried. But you don't lose your football like that, like snapping your fingers. It can happen that a grain of sand falls in the machine, and the machine stalls; then you start to have doubts about your qualities, your club, your coach, everything... We had to put the house back in order. And everyone did their bit: the coach, the club, because we were in a critical situation. The squad wasn't giving enough for the club, and was aware of it. We got back to work, we told each other the things that needed to be told; after which, one win, two wins, confidence comes back, and things follow from then on. The new players gelled in the squad, and here we are...
There was also someone called Robin van Persie, no?
Sure! It's his season. I'm really happy for him. It's the first time he hasn't been bothered by injuries, and you can see the difference...
What's it like to play against him in training?
I try not to kick him too much! I go 'soft' on him...(laughs). We try to be reasonable: the season is so long...
Now this long season is almost over and you look back, what is your dominant feeling? Could it be regret, or frustration?
I cannot live with regrets. If we had a nightmarish start to the season, it is because we deserved to have it. But, frankly, I'll come out of this season a more mature footballer. Everybody thought us dead and buried, but we stuck together, the players, the club, the staff, we fought together. The season I've gone through has been tough, but full of emotion. Tottenham at home... there was pressure on us, we were five points behind Chelsea, everybody was saying, 'Champions League? It's over, Tottenham will win'...and we put five goals past them, and went on a seven-win run.
We might not have dominated every single game, but, mentally, we had something extra. At Liverpool, for example, we always believed, and Robin gave us victory at the very end. The biggest regret is, perhaps, the first leg against Milan, when the game completely passed us by. Arsenal's place is among the top four clubs in England. A club doesn't 'die' like that, and the players realised it. There weren't too many people to accompany us in this climb back [to our place], but we did it.
One Thierry Henry did some of the climb with you....
Thierry didn't have the legs of a twenty-year old, perhaps, but, whether it's in the dressing room or on the pitch, he's played an important part. He knows this club, he's lived big things here, he won titles, he became a legend for all the fans. He brought us this extra hunger to win, including in games in which we struggled to play our football. And there were a few of those 'complicated' games. One thing we knew though, was that we would score. We proved it at Liverpool, at Sunderland, against Liverpool, against Villa in the FA Cup. When you truly believe, as we're not that bad a bunch of players, results follow.
What about next year?
I'm not thinking about it yet. The most important thing is to get that third place. Then - if we keep our key players, if we bring in players who can bring something extra, if we make a good start in the league, then, yes, we'll be contenders for the title.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

7-Keto is a naturally occurring metabolite of DHEA that does not affect hormone levels, but is known for its anti-aging properties. Because the body's production of DHEA declines with age, so does the production of 7-keto-DHEA. Weight gain is a common sign of aging that often accompanies the decreased production of DHEA and its metabolites. 7-keto has been patented for its ability to promote thermogenesis as well as for the maintenance of healthy body weight.

I often wonder how religious groups decide what to support and what to oppose. One assumes their decisions to ban something is connected to a religious principle or to something a religious authority years ago declared to be part of the religion. Indonesia's Ulema Council (MUI) has issued an edict which bans the use of yoga on the part of Muslims and also bans smoking on the part of pregnant women and children. An additional declaration by the group imposes a demand on the part of Muslims to vote in elections, of course, as long as they vote for someone who meets the criteria of "being Muslim, honest, brilliant and ready to fight for the people." For some reason, the exact meaning of being "for the people" is not spelled out other than making certain no good Muslim is caught engaging in yoga.
Another edict imposed a ban on abortion unless the mother was a rape victim. Isn't in human nature to resist edicts imposed by government institutions? How about an education campaign to convince people to vote, not to smoke, and to avoid yoga at any cost since it might be damaging to their religious principles. How about an edict against poverty or one in which any form of physical violence is deemed to be against the Muslim religion?

Some people like Halloween for ghosts and ghouls. Others, like me, are in it for candy and treats.
I remember when you could bring homemade treats to school parties. Cookies, candy, popcorn and caramel apples also were a welcome treat.
While schools have limited what homemade goods can be served in classrooms, you still can whip up tasty treats at home. Some are goodies the entire family can have fun making together.
A simple idea that is easy to do with kids is to make witch hats out of fudge stripe cookies and chocolate kiss candies. The recipe has three ingredients, no baking and easy instructions. Even toddlers can help.
Place a round fudge cookie upside down and attach the chocolate to it with frosting. The recipe calls for orange and green frosting. Normally you can mix red and yellow food coloring to get orange but my box of food coloring was missing yellow. For some reason, I had purple coloring paste and because purple is a popular Halloween color, I went with it.
The Oreo Spider Cookies were more challenging.
Local stores don't seem to be carrying Halloween-themed Oreos this year, so I used regular Oreos. Black string licorice also is hard to find and thicker licorice wouldn't work. I went with the pull-and-peel version of Twizzlers for the spider legs, but the fruity taste did not go well with Oreos. If you plan to make these, you'll want to plan ahead and find a store that carries thinner black licorice for the legs.
Regardless, kids can have fun making a cookie spider.
The third recipe makes a highly addictive treat. At least that's what my co-workers told me.
This Halloween-themed candy bark includes something salty and something sweet, combining pretzels with caramel, white chocolate candy coating and the taste of candy corn.
The most difficult part of this recipe is the caramel step. Depending on the consistency of your caramel, it might not drizzle well and if you try to spread it over the pretzels, it can get sticky. Also, some of the caramel stiffened. The result was some candy pieces were just like any other candy bark and some were sticky with caramel. Both tasted great.
This recipe isn't as kid friendly to prepare, but they'll enjoy eating it when it's finished.
Skip the ghouls and instead drool over treats this Halloween.

In order to get the look I was after, I had a run of these machined (CNC Laser) from 1/8" black acrylic. I have 12 that I will sell for $8.00 each including shipping in the continental US (feel free to ask about International shipping w/your postal code).
They are very clean and sharp and recreate the look of the pack seen in the Art of Star Wars exhibit for an MLC pack, and if this is the look you're after, then I highly recommend them. (pictured is with the contact paper still attached next to an MLCv1)

Arsène Wenger admits that the international break will not help his team get their rhythm back ahead of the north London derby against Tottenham.
Arsenal were held to a 3-3 draw by Fulham at Emirates Stadium on Saturday a week after losing 2-1 against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Wenger now loses a number of players for international friendlies and he would rather they were training at London Colney.
"It's bad for us," said the Arsenal manager. "I would prefer that the team stays here and prepares [for] our next game.
"There's a risk, as well, with the players who have played the last three games, they play another one, and another one, and after that they play against Montpellier, and at the moment we cannot rotate too much, so it's not ideal.
"But we have to deal with that, and at least we could have won the game on Saturday. But at some stage, when it was 3-2, we were close to losing it.
"I think we had three difficult games this week, especially the first two. We had to recover from Man United where we didn't exist a lot, and then I think we gave it all at Schalke.
"I think on Saturday we had overall a good game for a team that has played Champions League on Tuesday night, but we were maybe caught a little bit in a lack of complete urgency when we were 2-0 up.
"We have no time to train on it, because the players go away and when you play every three days you cannot practise too much. But it's for all the teams. I've played Champions League for 15 years now and we have to do that every year for periods.
"As long as you play the League Cup as well, you never have a complete week to prepare the next game. But it's part of being at Arsenal."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Arsène Wenger would like to call upon Gervinho and Marouane Chamakh for the FA Cup tie against Leeds United.
The Ivorian and his Moroccan team-mate will head to the Africa Cup of Nations next month and are due to meet up with their respective squads on January 7 – two weeks before the tournament begins.
Arsenal's Third-Round tie against Leeds has been put back to the evening of Monday 9th for live TV broadcast and Wenger hopes Gervinho and Chamakh will be given permission to delay their arrival in Africa.
"The competition starts on the 21st of January," he told Arsenal Player.
"They have normally, legally, to turn up 14 days before, that means the 7th. We will ask for delays for both of them, at least until the Leeds game [on the 9th].
"Hopefully we can get an arrangement for that. They will miss the first two days of the preparation but on the other hand they are both fit to start the competition. Hopefully we can get an agreement."
