These shower wraps are the only ones in the world made of the same high-quality Turkish cotton as the renowned Hammacher Schlemmer Turkish robes. While most towels come loose easily and must be constantly re-tied around the body, these wraps fasten securely with snaps, making them ideal for the home, sauna, spa, or gym. The wraps are fitted with pouch pockets (one on the men's, two on the women's) into which lip balm, jewelry, sunglasses, suntan lotion, or shampoos can be placed. Made of superior cotton from the legendary Denizli region of Turkey, the wraps are dense, durable, and highly absorbent. Elastic top with four-snap closure. Machine washable. White. Men's. Fits 24" to 50" waist. 23" length. Imported.

turkish shower wrap
By online purchaser
from austin, texas
This was a gift and he said he really like the simplicity of the snaps. I really like the fact that it was easy to wrap and because of the snaps I did not have to worry about what would stick on the velcro in the wash like his other wraps.

About Me Classic Dresser
better than wearing a towel after a shower
It just did not work for me
By Dick
from Alabama
This wrap did not work for me. I am a 38" waist. When I snapped the wrap I had two snaps left hanging open. I loved the material, but the sizing just was not right for me. I have returned the wrap.
it's great

Men's The Turkish Shower Wrap
By Willik
from Lake Jackson, TX
Allows me to dry completely prior to having to don underwear.Also great for pool side wear in lieu of a towel over a wet bathing suit.
It is pretty good
By znnicolas
from Santa Fe New Mexico
I like almost everything about it, except that itfeels a little loose. I have a thirty six inch waist. I know one size fits all is not a good starting place. You can button to the tightest snap and then tuck the corner in, not the best, depending on how long you wear it. I just had higher expections.
Nice quality wrap but a bit big
By Tellico Karen
from Tellico, Tennessee
My husband will use it when we go to the beach.

Special thanks to Hayden Sowers for handling Houston's Sunday afternoon teleconference. We are heading to the airport now. Never flown on a red-eye before. Should be interesting. Presser tomorrow, open week then the Rebels are at home against Alabama.
Q: Houston do you think you found your guy in Randall?
A: "It looks like it right now, just very proud of the way he executed. Thought he stood in the pocket very well and went through his reads and when it broke down he took off and avoided the sack and made some real big plays for us, and we are real proud of the way he played."
Q: How did you come out with injuries?
A: "I don't know right now. We didn't get in until 8 o'clock so I let them all sleep until 5, so I really won't know until 5 o'clock."
Q: How big is this bye week for yall?
A: "I think it's really, really big. Comes at a time we can take advantage of get everybody really completely healthy as we go into the teeth of our schedule so it always helps us. Especially the ones who have been injured and now they can get a little extra treatment, little extra rest and be able to get some things done during practice time this week to be able to get better."
Q: How big was the win against Fresno? Just to calm the waters and have everything a little less stressful? Do you think it's easier on you and the team?
A: "It definitely is much easier on the team. I think you know because you've been it long enough, that if you don't win that game then you could imagine what people would write. It's just the negativity, and it starts to get in your mind as a team. That was the one thing I was proud of, we got behind 7-0, 14-13, and boy they kept fighting. That's a really good sign, and they kept executing so to answer your question to go that many miles and play a ballgame against a team that has been to a bowl last 10, 11 years straight, that was a huge win for us, especially for our psyche."
Q: Talk a little bit about Donte Moncrief just coming up big again and he kinda looked like he had a nice burst on his reception. Just talk about him some more.
A: "He really did show a tremendous burst on that screen for us, and he has made some big catches for us. We saw it all the way through camp and now these freshman receivers, him, Brassell, Tobias, Collins, all of the freshman I've been very very proud of. Donte has been very mature with his work ethic, his attitude he's been very unselfish with his blocking downfield so he is a tremendous playmaker, going to be something special."
Q: Can you talk about the decision to start Alex Washington at guard and how did he perform?
A: "Alex just gives you a little bit more knowledge and experience, but Aaron (Morris) is right there, Aaron and Patrick Junen both are guys that we are not afraid to put in the game. They are good players, they are just young. Alex just has a little bit more experience, and they way teams are moving around on us so much we just felt like he gave us the best chance in there consistently of doing what we needed to do."

The NCBO Resource Web service is a system for ontology based annotation and indexing of biomedical data; the key functionality of this system is to enable users to locate biomedical data resources related to particular ontology concepts. The annotations are generated using the NCBO Annotator and presented through integration with BioPortal, enabling researchers to search for biomedical resources associated (annotated) with specific ontology terms. The NCBO Resources web service uses a concept recognizer (currently provided by the National Center for Integrative Biomedical Informatics, University of Michigan) to produce a set of annotations and expand these using ontology is_a relations in the ontology.
The system's indexing workflow processes the text metadata of diverse resource elements such as gene expression data sets, descriptions of radiology images, clinical trial reports, and PubMed article abstracts to annotate and index them with concepts from appropriate ontologies. Researchers can then search biomedical data sources using ontology concepts.

This resource will contain avian and non-human mammalian influenza surveillance data, human clinical data associated with virus extracts, phenotypic characteristics of viruses isolated from extracts, and all genomic and proteomic data available in public repositories for influenza viruses. The resource will link host surveillance and clinical data to sequence and phenotypic data for all well characterized influenza virus strains. Data obtained from public data sources for well characterized virus strains will be supplemented with IRD generated data. The IRD will provide a suite of tools for analysis of all types of influenza data and a personal work bench on which each scientist can store lists of important data selected from that available on IRD.

I really loved this Chinese dessert and I really recommend it. It would be the ideal accompaniment to Chinese Oolong tea, Chinese green tea or Jasmine tea. If you feel tempted, try adding vanilla sugar to the mixture or replacing the white sugar by brown sugar. I even found it delicious when eaten warm with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled over!!!!......
For the recipe, please refer yourself to the following blog: www.wlteef.blogspot.com

Gonna go look for this in town here. We are in NYC for a few weeks and you can find everything here.
Have you heard of Haloumi? It is a Cypriot cheese that you grill or fry. My wife and I discovered it when we went to Cyprus to get married. Everyone took to it and we even served it as an appetiser for our reception.
Look for it and give it a try...

I know what Haloumi is, but I've not yet been able to taste this Greek cheese as I never went to Cyprus (I visited the Peloponnese and the Attica) and have not yet seen it here. Apart from Feta, I love Manouri which is a soft and mild ewe's or goat's cheese from Macedonia and Thessalia. You can use it as you would do with Feta and it really is worth buying as it's creamy and fluffy to please!
I'll try finding Haloumi cheese in Geneva, but since it's not New York......

Wow, these bring back such memories for me. My Mom used to buy these all the time for me from bakeries in San Francisco's Chinatown. I loved how light and airy they were, with just a hint of vanilla-sweetness. I've never tried to make them, but this recipe definitely inspires me to. Happy Lunar New Year, everyone!

4 out of 5 people found this review useful. 1 of 19
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Traditional and non-traditional. Weekend, Internet and video courses are available for those with hectic schedules. Also, night classes for those who work all day.
Tips for prospective students Northeast State is a smaller college, but that does not mean your education will suffer at all! The teachers are great, the class sizes are smaller, campus is clean and easy to navigate, and the enrollment process is painless and easy. I would recommend this school to anyone.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Students who need or enjoy a comfortable hands on learning experience. And who also enjoy spending less money for the same classes, and better educational experiences.
Am enjoying being here I only have one more semester before i graduate and i have to say that if i could do anything about college over again- i wouldn't have changed a thing. Making the choice to go to NE state first instead of a 4year college was a great choice because i took all the classes i needed and for half the price of the universities around the TN area.
Am learning a lot Northeast is a rather small school but that isn't exactly a bad thing. The smaller classes provides for a more hands on learning experience and a closer student/professor relationship.

1 out of 2 people found this review useful. 1 person found it offensive. 2 people found this inaccurate. 3 of 19
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Slackers, people who slept through high school, people who don't mind earning less than 50,000 a year for the rest of their lives.
Tips for prospective students Be lazy. Don't care. Don't come to class. You'll still make at least a B in most of the classes. There's no motivation to really try or give your all at anything.
Bang for the buck It's cheap. I can say that much. However, you aren't getting the experience to do well in a career or at a four-year. The coursework isn't worthwhile and doesn't stimulate critical thinking.

1 out of 1 people found this review useful. 4 of 19
Categories Comments Great for these types of students Anyone that can't be a traditional student. If you have a full time job they work with you to make a study and class plan so you can continue your education.
Tips for prospective students With all colleges of any type get all your forms in early. Ask any questions, no matter how simple or complex. Someone will have an answer.
Bang for the buck Definitely cheaper than other area schools. That can really help when you have to work to pay bills and don't have a lot of money to spend on college. They even have a payment program.
Will enjoy being here Everyone is helpful and it is minimally difficult to navigate around the campus, as opposed to larger campuses where one can get lost easily. Open environment all around.
Will learn a lot I had a lot of trouble first entering college. No one in my family had finished any sort of college degree, not even an associates. I found nothing but friendly, helpful staff. I was directed to what I needed when applying. They offer internet courses from the school and they help with RODP courses for adults that cannot be a full time student. Even if you are going less than part time you get full time attention and help on courses.

Am learning a lot I love this school, and i can't wait to start my second year! The professors and staff are very friendly and helpful. You learn a lot at this college, and have fun while doing it. The college has everything, and is always enjoyable. This college has an expensive look with an affordable tuition.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Again the courtyard is great for relaxation and summer sun!
What to do for fun Relaxing in the courtyard on the grass is my favorite.
Food and Dining I wish there was a coffee shop on campus, which we do not have currently, like starbucks or java j's something for pick me up
Dorm Life There is no dorm life on this campus
Tips for prospective students If you come to class and have a willingness to learn, you will go far places with this school!
In three sentences I give Northeast State a 10 for Teacher interest in their students. I give them a rating of excellent on security, and I give them a 10++ for the information and assistance in the financial aid department.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I always felt safe, the parking lots are well lighted, and if a person feels uneasy the campus security will happily escort you to your car.
Clubs and Activities I am an adult student with too many responsibilities to be in clubs ect. So I do not know much at all about the clubs on campus.
Great for these types of students Students who are looking to acquire a Associates degree, or people who want to do core classes and then transfer on to a university.
Bang for the buck Subway offers a combo deal for students on campus that is cheaper than other Subway locations.
What to do for fun There is a workout gym on campus, but other than that there aren't recreational things on campus that I know of.
Food and Dining When I went to NESCC in 2009-2011 the only on campus dining choices was Subway. Of all the fast food choices out there I was happy with what was offered. There was some talk of getting in more choices but that may or may not have happened.
Dorm Life There are no on campus living quarters.
Academic Rigor As with any other school academic rigor is a matter of personal perspective. Some classes I took were easy, but that could be because of my interest in the subject matter. Some classes were very difficult for me, but again I feel like that was due to the subject matter.
Tips for prospective students Never be afraid to seek out help! There are too many very helpful people who would love to make your experience here a good one. .Believe me! But you have to ask for help, they don't have ESP
In three sentences I cannot say enough good things about Northeast State Community College! A smaller school with a very personal touch in all they do. I was a high school drop out of 33 years, scared to death and very nervous about entering school. The wonderful faculty and staff on campus is who I give credit to for my new found confidence.

In three sentences Northeast State Community College is a great way to transition into a four year college if you have been out of school for awhile. The entire staff goes the extra mile to meet your needs and help you understand the curriculum in order to achieve your goals.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I feel very safe on campus. The campus police patrol the parking lots regularly. There are also emergency phones on campus.
Greek Life Northeast does not offer any sororities or fraternities.
Clubs and Activities Northeast offers several clubs. Clubs are a great way to get involved and meet new people, while also giving back through community service.
Great for these types of students Students that are returning to college, planning to transfer to a university, or wanting to earn a trade.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The college is located right next to the Tri Cities Airport.
Bang for the buck The tuition is at a great rate. You can earn an Associate's degree without having to go bankrupt. Northeast offers ways to get involved in the community as well.
What to do for fun Most students play hacky sack and frisbe in the grass between classes.
Food and Dining The only place to get something to eat on campus is Subway. A Pizza Plus is opening up across the street, which will give students another option. Other than that, the closest drive-thrus are about 15 minutes away.
Dorm Life The major downside to attending Northeast is that it does not have any student housing. Every student is a commuter. It does get old having to drive half an hour to school every day.
Academic Rigor Most teachers are very passionate about their students' success. They will go to far lengths to make sure the student stays on top of the class. They will stay after class and some will even meet outside their office times to make it more convenient for the student.
Tips for prospective students Prospective students that are not sure what to major in should definitely attend Northeast State. You can get your core classes out of the way without spending a fortune on tuition.
In three sentences Northeast State is a good school to go to to earn your Associate's Degree. It is a lot cheaper than going to a university. I love the small classes and the excellent teacher interaction!

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have campus police patrolling from morning until night! They will walk you to your car, recover a key locked in a car, and even jump start your engine if your battery is dead! There are also campus help centers that alert the police to come to your aid anywhere on the campus.
Greek Life There are no fraternities at Northeast State.
Clubs and Activities You may join the Greens club, the Science Fiction and Fantasy club, or any organization such as Phi Kappa Phi or Alpha Sigma Lambda. All clubs are active in the community and host annual fund raisers for scholarships.
Great for these types of students If you are an excellent student, a non-traditional student, or a struggling student, Northeast is the best, most affordable, and most accommodating college in our region.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One of my favorite professors wears a different silly hat every class period and always takes time in class to tell a funny joke.
Bang for the buck The affordability of Northeast State is unbeatable. The college will charge you half of what you would pay at a four year college with equally satisfying education.
What to do for fun You can hit the tennis courts, basketball courts, or throw a frisbee in the square. If you are a nature lover, there is a wonderful nature trail right on the main campus that features a one mile walking/running trail and a certified arboretum that hosts many native trees.
Food and Dining Northeast offers an on campus Subway restaurant that monthly has great specials to meet economy and student budgets. They also host student appreciation days at least four times a year to feed the students and encourage social gatherings.
Dorm Life Northeast does not offer dorms on campus, however, they encourage builders to build apartment complexes near the school to encourage students to move in and get closer to their educational experience! They also offer five campuses around the region to cater to long-distance students.
Academic Rigor It is no walk in the park! Northeast is challenging and fun. You must work hard to stay on top of your academics!
Tips for prospective students Do not be afraid to ask for help about any matter. Northeast is the most friendly and helpful school in the area. Their staff strives to delight, encourage, and grow each student into an exemplary and productive citizen. The harder you work to attain your goals, the harder they try to help you reach your goals.
In three sentences The small class size allows for student and teacher interactions that is mutually beneficial. All of the professors are well educated and have a true passion for teaching. Their aim is your success; not only in the classroom but in your field of study.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Northeast State is great for students who only want to go to school for two years and get an A.S, A.A., or certificate. It is also great for students who do not want to start out at a larger college or university with class sizes in the 100s.
Bang for the buck Tuition for one semester at NESCC is typically under $2,000, but academics are not compromised by the low tuition costs.
Food and Dining Northeast State only has one restaurant on campus, a Subway. Within short driving distance there is a Wendy's, Pizza Plus, and Cracker Barrel. NESCC also has microwaves and vending machines with soup, pizzas, and other items.
Dorm Life Northeast State is a community college and does not have dorm rooms.
Academic Rigor General education classes such as intro to psychology are relatively easy. The science classes are more rigorous and require more diligence.
Tips for prospective students As long as you attend class, turn in your homework on time, and apply yourself you will do wonderfully.
In three sentences NESCC is a great school. All of the staff and teachers are excellent and are more than willing to answer any questions you have. I love the 20-30 student class size.

What to do for fun There are campus activities going on all the time
Food and Dining There is only one cafe area and it only contains a subway, however there are some relatively close restaurants.
Dorm Life Unfortunately, this is a community college and does not have dorm accommodations.
Academic Rigor Some of the classes are easy, but you'll find those anywhere. I would personally put my science education against any other college in the area.
Tips for prospective students Don't listen to all the rumors about certain professors, they are awesome outside of class and you just have to get to know them AND put the work in!
In three sentences I think the campus is wonderful. The teachers are exceptional and they get to know you on a name basis making for a pleasant environment.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Breathe easier knowing that there are able minded and able bodied campus police patrolling the grounds to keep you safe. If you should ever have a problem, from car trouble to personal problems to simply needing an escort to your vehicle after dark, these officers are here to get you there.
Greek Life Northeast State doesn't host fraternities or sororities like larger universities. However, the college does have student organizations such as Phi Theta Kappa (Alpha Iota Chi), Psi Beta, and Alpha Lambda Sigma. These honor societies are a great way to socialize and spruce up your academic resume.
Clubs and Activities There are numerous clubs on campus. From honors societies to the sci-fi club to the Greens club, there is a place for everyone here. From theater productions to carnivals, there is always something happening on campus.
Great for these types of students Northeast State is great for all students. From the welding student to the psychology student to the English student, everyone can find their place at this community college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The third floor of the library is often the best place to study simply for the better view of the surrounding mountains. On rainy days the second floor of the theater building is lovely because of the grand sized windows.
Bang for the buck You definitely get more bang for your buck. Not only are you beginning your college education with a transferable Associate's degree, but you are also making memories and gaining valuable knowledge for your future in academia that will last a lifetime.
What to do for fun After classes I enjoy sitting on the grass or on one of the benches and writing, but that is my prerogative. Northeast State has a nature walk, a tennis court, a basketball court, and a pretty amazing library for their students to enjoy. There is also one play put on per semester that is free to all Northeast State students.
Food and Dining The food selection is slightly limited. You can choose from vending machines or Subway. It is easy to get tired of the minimal choices.
Dorm Life This isn't applicable. The campus doesn't possess any dormitories.
Academic Rigor The college is there for you, but it is important that you meet them halfway. You will be challenged beyond what you believe you are capable of doing. The experience is all about learning.
Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. There are numerous clubs on campus, be sure to join one and contribute to campus life. Do register early because classes fill up rather quickly.
In three sentences This may be a community college, but everyone you meet is supremely dedicated to the slogan we're here to get you there. The classes are small and make every student feel comfortable in the learning environment. If you are looking for the best place to start your academic journey, then Northeast State is the place.

Did you know that Bwog was an armchair oenologist? Neither did we, until today. Please raise your Nalgenes as we venture together into the mysterious world of wine columns. We hope to be bringing back whatever wisdom we can garner from free tastings at International, instructional YouTube videos, and the notoriously inconsequential conjectures of the social sciences. Former Bwog editor Claire Sabel comes out of retirement in the name of terroir.
During her talk on Wednesday evening at EC's Heyman Center, the adorably French and effortlessly eloquent sociologist Marion Fourcade offered a persuasive account of "the relationship of social classification to social structure" using the example of the state-controlled classification systems of wine in the Burgundy region. She illustrated the relevance of the proposition made by Émile Durkheim, that the way we judge things follows the way we judge people, barring her use of slides from Asterix.
Fourcade analyzed the social, economic, and historical factors that lend the culture of wine production and consumption such an air of connoisseurship and esoterism. By illustrating the historical contingency of the concept of terroir—the particular geological, climatic, and ecological factors determining the subtleties of any particular grape—she exposed the supposedly "scientific" consensus as one that was more directly structured around social and political interests. A gross simplification of the notoriously tricky Bordeaux classification, is that the richest and most powerful people certified that their wine was the best, and thus reaped the profits from the lucrative and artificially imposed certification.
"Social context does indeed structure sensory experience," Fourcade argued. So when you taste a fabulously expensive bottle of wine, the correspondingly fabulous taste reflects the price tag, rather than the chemical reactions taking place on your tongue. This should come as no particular surprise—there was a time when you probably would have sacrificed a limb for a shiny Pokémon card, yet it is worth investigating why wine should sustain such a particularly complex infrastructure of imagined value and expertise.
Nowhere in the Core will you learn about the other judgement of Paris, a famous blind taste-test from 1976 when American wines triumphed over some of the most exclusive French vintages. But it is a pretty publicly-acknowledged fact that the amount of enjoyment you derive from drinking wine has almost everything to do with the information you're equipped with before tasting it.
enough wine talk, says SEAS, read some science after the break

Do the Debates Unfairly Shut Out Third Parties?The presidential and vice presidential debates are sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonprofit corporation that mandates that a candidate have at least 15 percent support in national polls to participate. Since the CPD took over running the debates in 1988, only once has a third party candidate been allowed to participate: In 1992, when Ross Perot joined Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush on the debate stage. The dominance of the two major parties at the debates has critics charging that the system is effectively rigged to shut out other voices. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee for president and former New Mexico governor, has sued on anti-trust grounds to be included this year. The CPD, he said in an interview, is designed "to protect the interests of Republicans and Democrats." George Farah, the author of "No Debate: How the Republican and Democratic Parties Secretly Control the Presidential Debates" and the executive director of Open Debates, calls the 15 percent criteria "absurdly high," noting that candidates who reach five percent support qualify for public funding if they reached five percent support in past elections. "Third parties have played critical issues in raising issues that are critical to the conversation in this country," he said, pointing to the abolition of slavery and the creation of Social Security and public schools. "When you exclude them from the debate, you have a sort of ideological containment." A little history: The first televised presidential debates, between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, came in 1960. They were sponsored by the major networks, including CBS News. Presidential debates were next held in 1976, with the League of Women Voters in charge; they sponsored the next two sets of debates as well, before the CPD took over in 1988. Critics of the current system point to the League of Women Voters as an ideal debate moderator, arguing that it was more willing than the CPD to stand up to the parties. In 1980, Jimmy Carter strongly opposed the inclusion of independent candidate John Anderson, who had polled as high as 26 percent, in the debates. (Anderson would ultimately finish with less than 7 percent of the vote.) The League decided to include Anderson anyway, prompting Carter to drop out of the debates and leaving Anderson alone to debate Ronald Reagan. In 1984, the League held a press conference lambasting Reagan and Walter Mondale for rejecting dozens of potential debate moderators. In an interview, Anderson said the debates are now "pretty well locked into the maintenance of a two-party system." "Very clearly, the present system is wrong in my humble judgment in that it excludes the possibility that there could rise up a reasonable and probably candidate from someone other than one of the major parties," he said. In addition to meeting the 15 percent threshold "as determined by five selected national public opinion polling organizations," the CPD mandates that candidates be Constitutionally eligible to be president and be on the ballot in enough states that it is mathematically possible to win the presidency. Alan Schroeder, a professor at Northeastern University and an expert on presidential debates, says the 15 percent threshold is reasonable. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Monday, Oct 15 at 7:07 PM Should'nt the questions come from random audience members? These jokers have to give up some control, and besides, what it would be laughable to watch them stumble. These are not leaders but oligarach's who desire power. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Oct 15 at 12:54 PM Yes they do unfairly shut out the third party candidates. I also watched the third party candidates in real time on Democracy Now on FSTV. The major parties don't want the vote split. It was reported on Thom Hartman that when you count the people who are voting for Gary Johnson the Libertarian candidate, that Mitt Romney may actually be a half point behind Obama. Unfortunately, the Republicans have been very successful at stealing our elections. An article on In These Times said that the Koch brothers sent a letter to 45,000 Georgia Pacific employees warning of consequences if they voted for Obama, Murray Energy, SG software and Westgate resorts have done the same thing. When you add this to all of the voter suppression around the country. I am afraid that the Republicans will steal the election even with the Libertarian Candidate to split the vote. There is also the Justice Candidate and the Green party candidate which will divide the vote for Obama. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Oct 15 at 11:50 AM I watched the "Expand The Debate" on Democracy now. It was very illuminating to hear Jill Stein and Rocky Anderson answer the same questions, Obama and Romney answered. For all their posturing, I do not see much difference between the two major parties. Let's face it neither Obama or Romney are going to shake the bush much, when they have to "dance with them what brought em". If we are ever to have a functioning democracy we must break the strangle hold of the two party system. If people like Jill Stein and Rocky Anderson's voice's are never heard, then how can people consider alternatives? The CPD, was created to maintain the status quo, and the sooner we demolish it the better. I like the idea of more debates with more candidates early on, then whittling the number down, as the election draws nearer. In closing, this year's election is a total farce. Never was never even a mention of a challenge to Obama, even though he is not exactly popular, not to mention Romney. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Oct 15 at 11:31 AM I think the debates problem is trying to cover everything in one debate. They should have separated the topics for each debate. ie. one debate for foreign policy, domestic issues and so on. That way each candidate has more time and can go into more detail without having to worry about switching topics. That's my two cents for the day. Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a comment |

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Releases New Heights of Accuracy for World Topography
December 1, 2011 in Associate Membership, Business, Geomatics, Land Surveying, Links, News
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) have collaborated in the development of a much improved global elevation model, the Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010).
GMTED2010 replaces the widely used, 15-year-old GTOPO30 terrain model as the best available global digital elevation model.
Useful for regional-, continental-, and global-scale applications, GMTED2010 is derived from numerous higher quality elevation data sources that were unavailable at the time GTOPO30 was developed. The new sources include near-global Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED®) from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM); Canadian elevation data; SPOT 5 Reference 3D data; data from NASA's Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat); and updated Antarctica and Greenland terrain models.

On Thursday, Boone County Schools' officials spoke with the Coal Valley News about the arrest.
"Mr. Pickens was requested to come to the school to meet with the school's principal Brenda Viars, Boone County Schools Executive Director of School Safety and Transportation Steve Bradley and law enforcement with the Boone County Sheriff's Department regarding previous incidents involving Mr. Pickens not following the school's protocols, policies and procedures," said Boone County Schools Assistant Superintendent Jeff Huffman. "Mr. Pickens allegedly didn't like that visitors are required to enter the school through a certain door, sign in at the office and other rules."
Huffman said there is a child that attends the school that Pickens drops off and picks up at times.
"I don't know if it is his child, grandchild or just a child under his care," Huffman said.
Deputies were made aware that Pickens had been in the school on a previous occasion and made specific threats concerning a firearm, to the staff of the school.
Corporal B.G. Browning encountered Pickens inside the school and Pickens had a firearm holster on his belt where it was visible to students and staff.
Boone County Schools Superintendent John Hudson said Pickens did not have a gun inside of the school.
"No individual, to my knowledge, brought a gun inside of the school," Hudson explained. "He had a firearm holster that was empty."
Police said Pickens also had in his possession a folding knife, which is prohibited on school grounds.
However, in close proximity to the school and inside Pickens' vehicle, officers located a loaded .40 caliber semiautomatic handgun, according to the police report.
Also, on at least two prior occasions this month, Pickens brandished the empty holster to the staff and made threats of not leaving his gun in his vehicle the next time he came in, according to police.
"This is why we called the police to the school," Hudson said.
Police said these acts made the staff fear for the safety of their lives as well as the lives of the children inside the school.
Rumors that Pickens was upset that the child under his care was being bullied at the school and that being the reason for his behavior are unsubstantiated.
"We have never heard anything like that from anyone, including Mr. Pickens," Huffman said. "He appeared to be having problems with following the school's rules, protocols, policies and procedures."
Pickens was taken before Magistrate C. Porter Snodgrass and arraigned Wednesday afternoon, Jan. 23, 2013. A $100,000 property bond was set.

Police, School Superintendent Confirm Child Luring Incident
Attempt happened to second-grader in Mill Creek area
Police and school officials have confirmed that a child luring incident did take place Thursday in the Mill Creek Road area of Bayville.
Berkeley Township Schools Superintendent James D. Roselli sent an e-mail this afternoon informing the district staff that Police Chief Karin T.DiMichele had called him at 12:45 p.m. to confirm the incident.
Two women in a dark blue minivan with black tinted windows attempted to lure a second-grader into the vehicle, Roselli said.
The driver was a white female and there appeared to be a young white female in the back asking 'Would you like to go for a ride?' Roselli said.
The make and model of the minivan are unknown, but it appeared to be of 1990s vintage, he said.
Roselli announced at the Oct. 25 Board of Education meeting that reports of the luring incident had not been substantiated. But he received another call from DiMichele today confirming the incident.
Detective Sgt. James J. Smith said yesterday that no one had reported the incident to police. But that changed today, DiMichele said.
"A person did come forward," she said. "The detective bureau is investigating and interviewing the parties."
Anone with any information is urged to call the police department at 732-341-6600.

tired of idiots must not have young children...police and schools need to do a better job. yours truly idiot.

Wow. We heard about the incident and called BTPD and we were told that it was all rumors. I understand that they don't want people to panic, but at the same time, we have young ones to protect and they have a lot of nerve lying when we asked a direct question.

Amazing how quick some are to bash the police department. Apparently english comprehension is a lost art. The article clearly states that as of yesterday it was not reported to the police. That occurred today and the police are conducting their investigation. Perhaps if the event had been reported when it happened, the result would be different.

I'm a neighbor and the police were called and showed up when it happened. Also it was 2 little girls that a man and a woman tried to lure into their blue mini van.They went around the block 3 times and tried to lure them to go for a ride. When my other neighbor came outside the van took off out of our neighborhood. I will be keeping an eye out for the van!

The police don't relinquish every little detail because it gets posted in public forums like this. They will inform the public with enough information so we can protect ourselves and our children, but not too much, that they don't give away investigative information that can compromise catching the dirtbags luring kids. Don't be so quick to judge the police. They do a lot behind the scenes that you don't know and remember an important fact..... they put themselves in harms way every single day to stand between you and bad people. it would behoove you to show some more respect.
Especially when you may be the one calling 911 the next time you or your children are (god forbid) in trouble...

It was reported to the police at 7pm on Monday, it's all in the call records. It's sad that the only way the public was being notified up until now was through Facebook and Twitter.
1:22 pm on Saturday, October 27, 2012
And Facebook and Twitter were completely wrong Ms. Kelly.
tired of berkeley schools
2:40 pm on Saturday, October 27, 2012
It is sad that our schools call us for every other thing but the superintendent didnt feel the need to inform us of this with the all call system. Noteven a notice home and I get every other email never saw this one.
5:17 pm on Sunday, October 28, 2012
Ms. Kelly is not wrong. I also live in the neighborhood and the incident did not occur Thursday. It indeed occurred on Monday and was reported on Monday. Nobody is bashing but the police should be honest. It is bad enough that they originally reported it was unfounded. So "whatstherealproblem" is dishonesty.

Jason Bohn, 33, was arraigned on murder and evidence tampering charges Saturday in the alleged beating and strangulation death of his 27-year-old ex-girlfriend.
Bohn was arrested Friday night in White Plains, N.Y.
City police found Thomas' body surrounded in a tub full of ice on Tuesday in the pair's Astoria apartment.
Her loved ones say they knew the couple fought, but did not think her death could be an outcome.
A close friend of Thomas, Josh Johnson, said he hoped that Bohn would be found guilty.
"It just gives us a sense of relief, a piece of mind to know that he's in police custody," said Johnson. "There are charges against him and then hopefully from here the legal system will do what it's supposed to do."
On June 7, Thomas told authorities that Bohn had assaulted her.
Police say they listened in while Bohn called Thomas' cellphone and threatened her life while she was at the police station.
Thomas then obtained an order of protection.
On Friday, Thomas will be buried in her native Kentucky.

The Ground Rules
- Label all videos, don't just throw out a link.
- Any music genre is acceptable.
- Don't knock somebody else's music, your taste may be crap also.
- Label your videos as PG or PG-13 as required.
- Add lyrics or screen shots as you see fit.
- Drink responsibly, use a glass.

After slumbering through the first three exhibition games, Seattle Seahawks first-round pick Bruce Irvin finally erupted in the 21-3 victory over the Oakland Raiders on Thursday night, the final preseason game for both teams.
Irvin, the No. 15 overall pick out of West Virginia, notched his first sacks of his career, twice bringing down Oakland quarterback Terrelle Pryor in the second half.
Irvin also had a forced fumble on a punt return and had a handful of quarterback pressures, giving fans at CenturyLink Field a glimpse of what Seattle coach Pete Carroll hopes is in store from the defensive end.
It will get better, Irvin said. I just got to keep working, and everything will start coming along.
While Irvin soared, the focus of Seattles final exhibition game was on fringe players attempting to make the teams final 53-man roster.
The Seahawks have to cut down from 75 players to 53 by 6 p.m. today.
Running back Vai Taua is one of those players who stood out Thursday. The University of Nevada product served as a tackling dummy most of 2011, working as the scout squad running back for Seattle while spending most of the season on the practice squad.
But Taua finally got a chance to dish out some punishment Thursday.
Taua finished with 49 yards on nine carries, including a 2-yard touchdown run. Taua also had five catches for 39 yards as he attempts to lock up a spot on Seattles 53-man roster.
Taua offers some versatility because he can play both tailback and fullback, along with playing on special teams.
However, Taua suffered a knee injury and did not play in the fourth quarter.
He did a really good job tonight, Carroll said. Gosh, he ran the ball well.
With Taua banged up and reserve running back Leon Washington unavailable after suffering an eye injury at practice this week, Seattle was low on running backs.
So former University of Washington and Lake High receiver Jermaine Kearse got a few carries in the final quarter, finishing with 9 yards on three carries.
Not too many people get to play just a random position like that, especially in the NFL Kearse said. So its definitely a blessing to be able to do that.
Kregg Lumpkin led Seattle with 20 carries for 71 yards.
With the win, the Seahawks finished 4-0 in exhibition play for the first time since 2009.
Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson played the first quarter, going 5-for-11 passing for 72 yards.
Reserve quarterback Matt Flynn played impressively in the second and third quarters, finishing 11-for-13 passing for 102 yards.
Flynn also led his first touchdown scoring drive with Seattle, connecting with rookie tight end Cooper Helfet in the flat for a 4-yard touchdown pass with 4 minutes, 29 seconds remaining in the third quarter.
I thought he was a solid as a rock tonight, Carroll said about Flynns performance. He hit almost everything.
Wilson led Seattle on a nine-play, 38-yard drive that set up a 25-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka, giving Seattle a 3-0 lead with just over a minute left in the first quarter.
The drive was set up when Irvin stripped the ball from Oakland punt returner Roscoe Parrish.
Bobby Wagner, Seattles second-round pick out of Utah State, recovered the fumble.
Seattles defense forced an impressive 10 turnovers in exhibition play, including two against the Raiders on Thursday. The Seahawks allowed a league-low 11 points a contest during exhibition play, and held the Raiders (1-3) to 101 total yards. The Seahawks impressive defensive effort included rookie defensive tackle Jaye Howard tackling Oakland running back Mike Goodson in the end zone for a safety in the final quarter.
In the second quarter, Seattle cornerback Jeremy Lane corralled an interception on an overthrow by Oakland quarterback Matt Leinart intended for receiver Brandon Carswell.
The Seahawks took over at Oaklands 39-yard line, and settled for a Hauschkas 29-yard field goal to grab a 6-0 lead with 9:32 left in the half.
Seattle did not escape without any injuries to frontline players, however.
Receiver Golden Tate twisted his knee in the second half, and will have to be evaluated.

"But I will hope continually, and will yet praise Thee more and more." Over the course of an incredible year of anguish—turned to wonder, we have been asked to forward previous issues of Baby William's e-mail updates. These requests are usually made by friends and family who are closely involved with the urgency of a family of a newborn preemie or a critically ill baby. We are forever grateful to the intercessors who sent our family a link of hope—a full year of progress reports of their friends' preemie. It is our desire that the Lord would use the following testimonies within William's updates to bring encouragement and hope to many. We serve a mighty God who is able to use all things to His glory, and because of His goodness, we can be assured it will be for our best—Romans 8:28. To access William's updates, simply click on the dates below William's Story. WILLIAM'S STORY "To everything there is a season, and a time to every TIME: Feb. 1, 2002 LOCATION: Under the heaven. SEASON: "a time to heal"... Our 10-day-old grandson, William Goforth, is being transferred by medical transport jet from a Colorado hospital to the Neonatal I.C.U. in San Antonio, Texas, to receive further intensive care. PURPOSE: To glorify Christ Jesus in everything. "A Time to Love". . . In the blink of an eye, the new year catapulted us into a totally unexpected timeframe of events, responsibilities, and roles in the family. We are just now beginning to resume some things we were called upon to put on hold for a season... "a time to be silent." When our whole family left for Colorado right after the holidays for a vacation followed by family camp ministry, we had no idea how our lives would forever be changed before returning home again. Josh and Noelle were to become parents for the first time in May. We were delighted to have them minister alongside us, for they were scheduled to speak about their experience with courtship in hopes that it would encourage other families with their teens... "a time to speak" and "a time to build up." However, Josh and Noelle's life testimony was to be delivered in a way that they never could have imagined. Before the opening chapel at family camp, Noelle was rushed to the nearest hospital in pre-mature labor at only 22 weeks along. Hours later, when it became apparent that labor could not be interrupted, with heavy hearts, they were preparing for what seemed at the time to be the inevitable... "a time to lose." No one expected what was about to happen. After much fervent prayer for the Lord's will to be done, just as Jesus calmed the storm, Noelle's labor became still and continued to remain at bay for eight additional days, which was precious time needed to give their baby a fighting chance of life this side of the womb... "a time to keep"!!! William Reid Goforth was born 16 weeks prematurely at only 24 weeks along on January 21, 2002, weighing all of 1 lb. 4 oz. and measuring 12 inches tall! He has been given the nickname William "the conqueror" by his parents, for it is their prayer and ours, that he will conquer the many battles of survival that he has before him with God's mercy and grace... "a time for war" and a time to heal." Whatever the Lord purposes in baby William's life, and in the lives of all of us who love him, we are comforted as God's Word reassures us that—"we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us." "He hath made every thing beautiful in His time." (Ecclesiastes 3:11) Message Available on Audio CD: |

Numbers adding up to likely Inslee win for Washington governor
on November 7, 2012 @ 3:03 pm (Updated: 5:24 am - 11/8/12 )While Republican Rob McKenna insists the race isn't over, experts say the numbers will add up for Democrat Jay Inslee in the race for governor as results come in during the tight race.
"We're going to ask you to be patient for a few more days," McKenna told supporters at the GOP party in Bellevue. "This year it will be worth the wait."
Not everyone agrees with McKenna's sentiments. He trailed by just over 44,000 votes statewide Wednesday night, and a Seattle Times analysis says he would need to capture 52 percent of the estimated 1.2 ballots still to be counted as of Tuesday. He was pulling 48.7 percent at the initial tally.
"I don't think McKenna's going to overcome the deficit," predicts KIRO Radio's Dori Monson. "King County was 63-37 for Inslee. I don't care how many late votes come in, I don't see any way that McKenna's going to overcome the deficit that he faces."
University of Washington political science professor Matt Barreto agrees. He says McKenna would need 60 percent of the remaining votes outside King County to catch Inslee, but was getting just 53.4 percent.
"King County will overwhelm McKenna," Barreto tells the Times, saying there simply aren't enough votes out there for McKenna to come back.
Inslee isn't declaring victory yet, but is clearly planning to be named the winner.
"I am very confident that we will be in a position to lead the state of Washington in the next four years," Inslee said Wednesday.
Inslee said he has begun organizing a transition team and will be ready to start working as soon as the election is finalized.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

Gorgeous, I love my ring so much! Thanks for helping my man pick out the perfect ring for me!
This ring is truly a work of art for my hand. The construction is both delicate yet strong and the diamonds are just stunning.
I could not have asked for anything more from James Allen. The service from Josh and the rest of the customer service team was exceptional. The engagement ring was perfect and packaging was beautifully presented. I had my order shipped to Australia and it on time without any problems.I would recommend James Allen to anyone looking for quality jewellery at reasonable prices!

Hey all:
My web application stores a users chosen Locale preferences in the database. When the user logs in the next page (home page) should reflect their preference. What is strange is the home page doesn't show as French for example, until the user navigates away and returns. So, upon initial log in of a user who has chosen French as their preference the home page is in English if you click away and then return it's French.
My code snips are below which show how the SessionLocaleResolver and LocaleChangeInterceptor are configured as well as how the HomeController updates the session with the appropriate Locale.
Here is the code for updating the Locale. I have printed to the console the results of getting the SessionLocaleResolver out of session and it is indeed set to French, but the page just doesn't update or change.Code:<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver" > <property name="defaultLocale" value="en" /> </bean> <mvc:interceptors> <bean id="localeChangeInterceptor" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor"> <property name="paramName" value="langId" /> </bean> </mvc:interceptors>
Code:final LocaleResolver localeResolver = RequestContextUtils.getLocaleResolver(request); if (localeResolver != null) { final String newLocaleName = userProfile.getDefaultLocaleId(); if (newLocaleName != null) { final LocaleEditor localeEditor = new LocaleEditor(); localeEditor.setAsText(newLocaleName); localeResolver.setLocale(request, response, (Locale) localeEditor.getValue()); } }
Any help and/or guidance is greatly appreciated!
