Having a family history of osteoarthritis can be intimidating—especially if you're getting "up there" in age. Learn how to prepare your body to battle the forces at the source of osteoarthritis pain. This can give you the best chance at a pain-free (and even medication-free) existence.
Osteoarthritis is caused by contact between two bones. As cartilage and connective tissue breaks down, the bones in your elbow, knee, wrist, shoulders, and other joints rub together. This can be extremely painful, but a few natural changes to diet and lifestyle can help you avoid some of these unwanted symptoms.
Revamp Your Diet
Bring out the berries and stone fruits. Non-citrus fruits, like strawberries and plums, are nutrition superstars—simply packed with helpful antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
Try a little G.O.G. That stands for garlic, onion, and ginger, of course. These foods not only add tons of flavor to meals or drinks, but they also prevent tissue degeneration and promote pain relief through inflammation reduction.
Burn the Calories
Get your BMI under control. A healthy weight can be crucial for relieving stress on your joints. Excess pounds can force your joints to rub down the cartilage more quickly and aggravate the pain of osteoarthritis.
Find a way to be physically active. Walking, swimming, and yoga are great ways to boost your health and get (or keep) your weight under control. Physical activity helps promote bone and tissue health, and low-impact options are easy to maintain even if some osteoarthritis symptoms do eventually develop.
Embrace the Lifestyle
Work on improving your posture. Proper posture helps your muscles support your joints and keeps bones from rubbing together painfully. Straighten your back, have your company do an ergonomic review of your desk, and get some advice for improving your golf swing to make sure your body is properly aligned.
Avoid repetitive motion. This is not an excuse to quit your job at the factory, but it is a great motivator to bring as much variety into your daily activity routine as possible. Repetitive activities can stress your joints from overuse, wearing down tissue more quickly. Alternate tasks, when possible, to give your body brief periods of rest if you must do repetitive actions.
Get some major stress relief. Having a relaxed mind and good mental health can be crucial for overall wellness. Learn how to deal with stress appropriately, and consider incorporating brief periods of meditation or prayer into your morning and evening routine.
These natural tips for osteoarthritis prevention and alleviation can be used by virtually everyone to get their risk or pain under control. All it takes is a little know-how and dedication!

Some nice advice there Katie. I have been battling osteoarthritis for years and now I am coping with spinal stenosis also and I have tried just about every pain relief drug on the market. I have found that no man made drug does what diet and exercise; especially exercise can do for you in fighting osteoarthritis pain. I find that on days when I don't exercise I feel more pain than on days when I get my regular 2-3 mile walk, along with a regimen of gentle stretching exercise. Thanks for the tips.

Atlanta Public School officials acknowledged Friday that metal detectors weren't working at Price Middle School when a 14-year-old student was shot and wounded last week. The shooting took place on campus, but outside the building in an area that's publicly accessible.
On Monday, WSB-TV reports that the school system's superintendent, board members and security chief all said the shooting exposed gaps in school security and a still-unknown number of broken metal detectors.
School Board Chairman Rueben McDaniel said he's worried the district might not have set policies for how or how often metal detectors are used.

Online Safety, Why Do We Use Avatars?
At iGifted School we are often asked why it is that we use avatars for our students. The answer is simple, to encourage intellectual risk and to ensure online safety for our students. I want to share our thinking about online safety and how we implement it.
As a student registers for any of our programs, we require that they create and name an avatar, and you will see examples above of their work. Once we approve the avatar, the student is registered in the name of the avatar, and from that point forward is known to other students and teachers as the avatar. However that is only the first step.

FREMONT -- When a school year starts, children of all ages experience a number of firsts. For the Fremont Unified School District, which begins classes Wednesday, this year's opening day will be its first after adopting a resolution recognizing the importance of preventing teen dating violence.
The school board voted July 25 to proclaim next February the district's Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. The resolution's approval was much more than a symbolic gesture, said Erin Daly, of SAVE, a Fremont-based nonprofit dedicated to assisting domestic violence survivors.
"Fremont now is one of four school districts in California to officially say teen dating violence is a major issue and we're trying to stop it," Daly said.
According to SAVE, national statistics underscore the resolution's importance:
James Morris, superintendent of Fremont schools, said the resolution gave the district a deadline with which to encourage
Teen dating violence is tied somewhat to the larger issue of bullying and the district aims to address peer pressure and other social issues that many students face, Morris said.
"We want to raise awareness among staff and students; we're trying to change the culture," he said. "We have really good schools but we have a responsibility to develop the next generation of students so that they have good character, too."

Dime Magazine Rudy Gay Feature: La Familia
*This feature can be found in the latest issue of Dime Magazine on newsstands now*
The man in the front passenger seat shifts his weight as we pull up, then starts talking again.
"I know exactly when it was," Devin Ferguson says as he adjusts the fit of his hat. "I know exactly what he did…"
They were 11. It was a rec league game. The ball was drifting out of bounds outside of the three-point line. Rudy Gay caught up to it in the corner, cuffed it with his left hand, and threw it at the rim backwards. It went in as the shot clock buzzer sounded.
"I'll never forget," Devin says, chuckling. "It was me and this boy named Kenny Allen, and we was like 'he going to the NBA'. I swear to God."
Everyone steps out onto a couple of neighborhood basketball courts. A community center is to your left, and the ocean is so close you could throw a basketball into the water. Young kids are playing a casual game on one of the hoops, stopping every 20 seconds to look at us. Is that…? They seem to be asking themselves. There are shouts from the parking lot. People know he's here. They see the cameras, the crew of people and that one really tall guy. But no one's overbearing. This is his home. Earlier in the afternoon, we walked across a street towards Sollers Point Tech High School and people drove by as if this was nothing. Read more…

This was in contrast to her old "rival" Hilary Duff, who still maintained a squeaky clean public image and had a visibly smaller bust line compared to Lohan. Hence the term Duffs was born.

Other Fire Protection News
Firefighters in Spartanburg, S.C., battle a 'test burn' of an abandoned house in an experiment to demonstrate new techniques for combatting flashover, an extremely dangerous phenomenon in fires. Researchers from NIST, the International Society of Fire Service Instructors, and state and local fire and safety officials participated in the tests the week of Jan. 20, 2013. [Note to editors: Additional photos are available.]Credit: Madrzykowski/NIST
Fire researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and colleagues from fire service organizations will turn abandoned wood-frame, single-family houses near the site of an old Spartanburg, S.C., textile mill into proving and training grounds for new science-driven fire-fighting techniques this week. The objective of the study is to improve firefighter safety and effectiveness.
Experiments conducted in eight different houses will demonstrate fire-fighting methods—individually and in combinations—for strategically ventilating and isolating fires to prevent—or at least delay—flashover, the extremely perilous phenomenon that occurs when heat builds up in a burning structure's contents and components to the point that they burst into flames simultaneously.
In conjunction with the experiments, the International Society of Fire Service Instructors (ISFSI) will videotape how firefighters implement size-up, flowpath control, and exterior fire attack, also known as transitional attack. The ISFSI will then develop training modules that will be available to firefighters across the country.
Other collaborators in the field experiments include the International Society of Fire Service Instructors, the South Carolina Fire Academy, the Spartanburg Fire Department, the South Carolina State Fire Marshal's Office and the Spartanburg Public Safety Office. The project is funded with a DHS/FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant.
In July 2012, in another team effort, NIST fire researchers gathered data in experimental burns in 20 abandoned townhouses on New York's Governors Island, about a kilometer from the southern tip of Manhattan.
The Spartanburg fire tests are being conducted in an area slated for a major redevelopment initiative.
During the experiments, The Daily Plant, a science show on the Discovery Network, came to the island to film. The segment provides an overview of the fire experiments that were conducted on the island.The segment can be viewed at the following link: http://watch.discoverychannel.ca/#clip784350
In 2008, NIST conducted a series of wind driven fire experiments with FDNY. The fire experiments took place in a 7 story building on Governors Island. As a result of those experiments, FDNY added several new tools to their fire fighting arsenal and modified their tactics for fires in "fire proof multiple dwelling units." For more information on those experiments and the impact of positive pressure ventilation fans to pressurize the stairs, wind control devices, and highrise nozzles see the wind driven fires section of this website: http://www.nist.gov/fire/wdf.cfm.
Exposure to high temperature environments, which firefighters can encounter during fires they are attempting to extinguish, can result in the thermal degradation or melting of a Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) facepiece lens, resulting in elimination of the protection meant for the user's respiratory system and exposing the user to products of combustion and super heated air.
For details, see the report, Fire Exposures of Fire Fighter Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Facepiece Lenses (NIST TN 1724, November 2011.)
Wind blowing into the broken window of a room on fire can turn a "routine room and contents fire" into a floor-to-ceiling firestorm. Historically, this has led to a significant number of firefighter fatalities and injuries, particularly in high-rise buildings where the fire must be fought from the interior of the structure.
On April 12, 2009, a fire in a one-story ranch home in Texas claimed the lives of two fire fighters. Sustained high winds occurred during the incident. The winds caused a rapid change in the dynamics of the fire after the failure of a large section of glass in the rear of the house.

NIST performed computer simulations of the fire using the Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) and Smokeview, a visualization tool, to provide insight on the fire development and thermal conditions that may have existed in the residence during the fire.
Based on the analysis of this fire incident and results from previous studies, adjusting fire fighting tactics to account for wind conditions in structural fire fighting is critical to enhancing the safety and the effectiveness of fire fighters. Previous studies demonstrated that applying water from the exterior, into the upwind side of the structure can have a significant impact on controlling the fire prior to beginning interior operations. It should be made clear that in a wind-driven fire, it is most important to use the wind to your advantage and attack the fire from the upwind side of the structure, especially if the upwind side is the burned side. Interior operations need to be aware of potentially rapidly changing conditions.
See full report, Simulation of the Dynamics of a Wind-Driven Fire in a Ranch-Style House – Texas (NIST TN 1729, January 2012.)
For more information, including simulation video, see the Wind Driven Fires page.
Opening the door provided additional air to a smoldering living-room fire and caused the fire to increase in burning rate and flames to extend out the doorway, resulting in high temperatures and heat flows that melted a hole in the mask.

Fire fighters are exposed to highly variable environments including elevated temperatures and convective and radiant thermal flux, which can put a significant burden on personal protective equipment. Thermally degraded and melted self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) facepieces have been identified as a contributing factor in certain fire fighter fatalities and injuries in the United States. The SCBA facepiece lens is often considered the weakest component of a fire fighter's ensemble in high heat conditions.
NIST conducted experiments (with the support of the Chicago Fire Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Fire Administration) which demonstrated a range of realistic thermal exposures and environmental conditions that firefighters could be exposed to. The environments that caused the failures were identified in an attempt to characterize the thermal performance of SCBA facepieces.

Hey girly! I saw the comment you left on my page, and the part about how your mom says that God is preserving you, I think it basically means that He's saving you... Think of it like fruit preserves! Lol I know it sounds weird, but it makes the fruit taste better right? So it's like bettering yourself! Just thought I would help clear that up for you! Have a great day!

sfluv on 11/10/2012 1:48:27 PM
Drama. One way to describe our girly life. Moody. Worried. Confused. A guy may say we are cute, but we do not know it. Our feelings are what matter the most, and once they are hurt in that rare way when we dont have a snotty comeback, something is wrong. I would love if girls like you and me could work together to make it better. We all rely on something, why not each other? xoxo, Serenity

awesomegirl4everandalways on 9/25/2012 9:40:32 AM
Your question: Hey i see ur homeschooled im too so i have this bigg prob i was wondering if u could help me out. So im in 8th grade and next year my moms putting me in real school and ive homeschooled all my life. While since i can remember ive always looked in the answer book if i ha a hard time with something now that im gonna in school next year i think i might have a really hard time. Is there any way i can stop cheating without telling anyone???? My reply: Well, you should probably get the teachers books out of your way first. Put them in a room, then go to another room or your room and try to do the work as well as you can. If you can't figure something out, just skip it, then at the end come back to it and try again. You can ask your mom for help, if she is the one who teaches you (my mom does the mail teaching thing for me.). In my teacher books, they explain how to do the step. You can try reading this a few times, and doing a few practice runs. Is the cheating thing in all subjects? Try studying. I always get really stressed before my tests, except in math. In math, I use Math-U-See, and if I am having a problem with something I read the teacher book or go online to their practice sheet generator. In science, they have a study guide for me. (Apologia Science) In history, I read the chapter over a few times then underline things I think might be important, then I go over them a few times. (Story of the World) In Language Arts, they have a section were I check off what I remember how to do, and what I don't I review. (Christian Light Education) You might want to tell a friend about your problem, and see if she can help. Just try as hard as you can not to use the teacher book, and reward yourself when you do something without the teacher book. I hope this helps, Good Luck with your school and with joining a new school next year!

text: Ernst Barlach German, 1870-1938 Wandering Death, 1923 Lithograph The Ethel Morrison Van Derlip Fund P.74.36 Bad to the Bone: Prints from the Grip of DeathWednesday, December 22, 2010Sunday, June 5, 2011 Death has been a subject of fascination to artists since the Middle Ages. This exhibition, a complement to "The Mourners: Tomb Sculptures from the Court of Burgundy" (January 23?April 17, 2011), features the flip-side of the human act of mourning as seen by artists ranging from Renaissance master Hans Holbein to Mexican surrealist Rufino Tomayo. Some artists take delight in the dark humor of the netherworld, some shock us with its fearsome aggression, and others find poignancy in its comfort. Some remind us that Death is an unexpected visitor for whom we must prepare; while, others see Death approaching quickly, attracted by our actions. As Death beckons you, great artists urge you to accept his invitation?in your imagination for the present?for eventually Death is sure to find you. |

I teach at a preschool and am considering planting milkweed on our playground, so the kids are participate more actively in raising and observing monarchs. However, I have two concerns:
1. How invasive a weed is it? It's spread a bit in my own yard at home, but not choked out anything else. Is that typical? I can't plant it if it is going to take over the whole area, spread beyond the playground, etc.
2. I saw some references to it being toxic. Is it toxic to humans? Or only to some animals? If it is toxic, perhaps a spot outside the regular playground would be doable, but not the playground itself.
Any guidance is appreciated.

Daily Tip: how to use QR codes on your iPhone or iPad
Seen those funky little QR (quick response) bar codes floating around and wondering how to scan them on your iPhone or iPad? QR codes are used to store useful information like web URLs, contact cards, e-mail addresses, etc... While QR reading isn't built into iOS, there are, of course, apps for that.
- First you'll need to get an app that reads QR codes. There are tons in the App Store. Some are free and some are paid. In this example, we are using a free app called RL Classic by Occipital. Others include [QR scanner](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=xhX*vKggN*k&subid=&offerid=146261.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fqr-scanner%2Fid377643590%3Fmt%3D8) or [QR reader](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=xhX*vKggN*k&subid=&offerid=146261.1&type=10&tmpid=3909&RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fus%2Fapp%2Fqr-reader-for-iphone%2Fid368494609%3Fmt%3D8) and tons to choose from will come up. Take your pick and download one.
- Next you'll need to find a nifty code to scan and open the app. It should pull up something just like above where you can scan a code using your camera app. Apps like RL Classic don't require you to take a physical picture - simply center the QR code in between the bars and it should pick up on it.
- Next you'll get some type of prompt showing you the information in the QR code. In this example it's a web URL. I can just tap to visit the URL or cancel and it will save it to my history.
That's it! You can now scan all those handy QR codes you see floating around in magazines, books, stores, and more.

I don't think these will be around very long. It's faster and easier to just remember a URL, email address, or other info, than to go through the trouble of launching apps and snapping photos. I know they're big in Japan right now, and catching on here, but people will tire of them.
Nice article on how to use qr code. I am using the "QR code reader for iphone" app from the appstore. Pretty pleased with the performance of the app so far.
Google App for iPhone works too. Just click on the camera icon next to the search bar, then just aim at QR code. That's it!
This works great for me because I hate to have so many occasionally-used apps to clutter up my iPhone.
Hello my loved one! I want to say that this article is awesome, great written and include approximately all important infos. I'd like to peer extra posts like this .

They haven't arrived yet so I can't give you a complete yes or no, but I am ordering shoes from here:

Now, if we could just find some well fitting and well made Wigs!!

Bucks softball coach charged with having sex with teen girl
A married Bucks County father of two who coaches girls' softball is accused of having a sexual relationship with his teenage daughter's best friend -- a girl who looked up to her coach as a father-like figure, according to a criminal complaint obtained by NBC10.
Kevin Jones, 34, of Fairless Hills, Pa. is accused of having sexual relations with a girl starting when she was just 14, according to Falls Township Police.
Police say that Jones would text and Facebook message with the girl who he also coached on the same softball team, the Levittown Bulldogs, that his daughter played on. The girl and Jones would tell each other that they loved one another and he would refer to her as his "baby doll" and she would call him "daddy," according to a criminal complaint.
Jones allegedly told the girl, whose father left the picture about seven years ago, that she could consider him a father. "I'll be your dad from now on and I'll protect you like I'm your dad," Jones told the girl according to the affidavit.
According to the criminal complaint, the relationship between the two started in the spring of 2012 with "flirting" as Jones would put his arm around the girl and hold her hand while speaking to her. Over time, the girl told police that their relationship progressed, first to kissing then to sexual activities and eventually to intercourse about two weeks ago.
The affidavit said that Jones' children were in his home during many of the alleged sex acts. The girl, now 15, told police that all the alleged sex was consensual and that no drugs or alcohol were involved.
Jones denies any sexual contact with the alleged victim outside of hugging and kissing that only happened in front of the girl's mother. The criminal complaint states that during questioning Jones told police, "I don't know if she thinks I touched her, we play fight."
The relationship was uncovered after the teenager confided in her sister about the relationship and the girls' mother in turn reported it to Falls Township Police on Jan. 9. Around that time, the victim allegedly tried to warn Jones that her mother knew of their alleged relationship in a series of texts and Facebook messages that are referenced in the affidavit.
Those Facebook messages date back to June of 2011, when the girl was just 13, and include messages where Jones threatens to kill any boy the girl has interest in, according to the affidavit.
Police planned to serve a search warrant at Jones' home on Jan. 25 but around 2 p.m. the home burned down. Jones and his entire family escaped the blaze and the cause of the fire remained under investigation. Continued...
Jones was arrested Monday and charged with six counts including indecent sexual intercourse with a minor, statutory sexual assault, corruption of minors and related offenses. He was arraigned and held on $2 million bail, according to court documents.
Falls Township Police told NBC10 that they wanted to get the word out about this case in case there is anyone else Jones might have come in contact with. Anyone with information can call police at 215-949-9100.

Rated: PG
Won't Back Down tells the true story of a motivated mom and a frustrated teacher who take on the established teachers' union that has prevented reforms at a school in Pittsburgh that has been failing students for decades. Where the movie succeeds is in presenting honest, driven and flawed characters that have a vision that is bigger than any one person. Solid, earnest performances from Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Dark Knight) and Viola Davis (The Help) keep the viewer engaged and visually interesting cinematography and editing keep the movie from becoming mired in the script's posturing and moralizing.
It's difficult to divorce a critique of Won't Back Down from the polarizing subject matter that the filmmakers attempt to tackle. Having experienced months of protests and critiques of teachers unions, most in Wisconsin will have already made up their mind which side they represent, and writer/director Daniel Barnz makes no effort to present a fair debate. The film presents the teachers union as a selfish, cigar-chompingly evil body that cares only about making teachers rich, damn the consequences. While nuance is hard to impart in a 2-hour movie, something more than lip service toward the good that unions have done in education would have been appreciated for balance.
The plot of Won't Back Down is formulaic and staid, running a well-worn path. Following the lead of films like Dangerous Minds, Stand and Deliver, and Erin Brockovich, WBD does nothing novel and wastes potential by having characters give monologues explaining their thoughts. Twists in the third act—which are likely based in reality—aren't well set-up and seem to muddle the narrative. Likewise—no doubt in an attempt to make the characters complicated—overstuff the plot with minutia that only bogs the film down and distracts from its point.
A simplistic, one-sided film that doesn't break new ground wastes good performances from Holly Hunter, Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Characters and plot-points are scattered all over the film resulting in a movie that has bold ideas and a message it wants to impart, bludgeoning it home with a clichéd bat.
Reflecting the rhetorical war waged in Wisconsin over the last couple of years, Won't Back Down won't change any minds but gives voice to reformers and the efforts undertaken in Pittsburgh, illuminating the union's dirty tactics. Predictable, pedantic and preachy, Won't Back Down doesn't do anything terribly wrong but never rises above mediocrity. It's worth seeing but I'd wait for DVD.

Two Women Got Into a Brawl at Boxer Hector Camacho's Wake:
What better way to pay tribute to legendary boxer HECTOR "MACHO" CAMACHO than to have a BRAWL AT HIS WAKE?
Obviously, it wasn't planned. What happened was that a 28-year-old woman named Cynthia Castillo showed up, claiming she was Hector's girlfriend at the time of his death.
And she decided to do the classy thing by showing up in a bright pink T-shirt with a picture of him on it. After she kissed Hector in his coffin, she entered the area designated for family.
Hector's family wasn't cool with that. And his sister Gloria Fernandez started jawing back and forth with Cynthia. They decided to TAKE IT OUTSIDE . . . where FISTS FLEW.
The brawl had to be broken up by cops.
A Man Takes Uncomfortably Skanky Photos of His 20-Year-Old Daughter, To Sell His Car on eBay:
Earlier this month, Kim Ridley of Eugene, Oregon wanted to sell his 1977 Datsun on eBay. And to give his listing a little extra juice, he figured he'd post SEXY PHOTOS of a SKANKY WOMAN posing with his car.
And the skanky woman he recruited for the photos was . . . HIS OWN DAUGHTER.
He did a photo shoot featuring his car and his 20-year-old daughter Lexxa . . . that's Lexxa with two x's, although once she switches to porno she'll probably add a third one.
In the photos, Lexxa is wearing a see-through yellow tank top that shows her bra, black underwear, and knee-high black boots. In some of them she's wearing ripped jeans, and in most of them she's showing off her many tattoos.
The photos include her leaning over the hood to show her cleavage, and a shot of the car from between her legs.
Kim says, quote, "If I felt bad about it, I wouldn't do it." His Datsun ended up getting five bids and sold for $7,500.
A Man is Run Over By His Own Truck . . . and Gets a Ticket For It:
On Monday, 40-year-old Brian Reynolds of Lynn, Massachusetts was driving his 1987 Chevy truck when the brakes stopped working.
His first instinct was to try to stop the truck FRED FLINTSTONE-style . . . by opening the door and dragging his foot along the ground. Believe it or not, that didn't work.
His next plan was to try steering up a hill to slow the car down. But when he turned, he FELL OUT of the door. He rolled out . . . and his runaway truck RAN OVER HIS LEG.
The truck kept rolling, and somehow didn't hit any people or even any other cars. It finally hit a fire hydrant and stopped.
Brian was hospitalized with a minor leg injury. And just to make SURE it was the worst day of his life, the cops gave him a $35 ticket for driving with defective equipment.

There are a lot of things in the cavern that appear to need power--a lot of power! Where does all the power come from. Things that have occurred to me are geothermal, water, chemical. I know that power in the cleft comes from a wind generator but there is no wind in the cavern. I have seen mention of 40 large fans at the top of the cavern for ventilation. Obviously those need power.
So...what is/are the power source(s)?

RE: Changes to VATSIM-UK Divisional Policy and Training Structure
The VATSIM Executive Committee have recently approved an amendment to GRP (v2.1). This amendment will see the S1 "Ground†Rating become a "Tower Trainee†rating.
This process remains unchanged.
S1-S2 (Tower Training)
It is to be noted that once the S1 rating is issued, the Tower Trainee does not automatically have privileges to control any aerodrome position (DEL-TWR). These restrictions must be lifted by the relevant RTS team. Please note that it's expected that the majority of new S1's will be of a level of competency to have their DEL/GND restrictions lifted almost immediately, enabling them to control these positions solo.
A Tower Trainee who has commenced their Tower training with a mentor may be given a Solo Tower Validation (STV) when all the criteria in their Aerodrome progress sheet is assessed to be 'Satisfactory' (as defined in the ATC Training Syllabus). However, this is not an automatic privilege and it is ultimately at the discretion of the RTS Team whether the Solo Tower Validation (STV) is beneficial to the student. The Tower Trainee may then log on only at their training aerodrome tower position without the supervision of a mentor. The RTS team have between 2 and 4 weeks to review the Tower Trainee's performance and progression, whereby a mentoring session or over the shoulder (OTS) check is conducted. Two things may then happen:
- The Tower Trainee has progressed through their solo experiences on Tower that they are assessed as Test Standard on all criteria and can then be put forward* for their S2 (Tower) exam (*subject to successfully competing the S2 theory exam).
- The Trainee has progressed but still needs help on parts of Aerodrome Control. Further mentoring can take place during the solo tower validation period. It is at the discretion of the RTS team as to when the subsequent progression review(s) is/are completed. Minimal mentoring maybe required for the tower trainee to be assessed as test standard.
Please note the following:
- The Solo Tower Validation (STV) can be revoked at the discretion of the RTS Management;
- The Minimum requirement for all criteria to be at least 'Satisfactory' before the Solo Tower Validation (STV) is granted - will be reviewed after 3 months (Dec 2011);
- A full list of Tower Trainees who have been granted a Solo Tower Validation (STV) will be available on the VATSIM-UK website;
- A Tower Trainee will not be granted more than one Solo Tower Validation (STV).

The organization has been awarded a $10,000 from Walmart as part of its "12 Days of Giving" holiday campaign.
The Free Clinic of Rome is a faith based, community supported nonprofit organization whose mission is to serve the Northwest Georgia counties of Floyd, Polk and Chattooga by providing quality health care services to uninsured residents who have no access to basic health care.
Created in 2003 as an outgrowth of Community Kitchen volunteers at Rome First United Methodist Church, the Clinic originally addressed the acute medical needs of residents of the Salvation Army and people who attended the Community Kitchen.
"Medical attention and emotional support can be difficult to obtain for those in need, yet both are essential to nurturing healthy futures year round and especially during the holiday season," said Sylvia Mathews Burwell, president of the Walmart Foundation. "Today, we're honored to support nonprofit organizations that are providing these basic services to people in their local communities."
During twelve consecutive days, Walmart will award a total of $1.5 million to 140 organizations across the country that are providing basic needs and services such as food, shelter, clothing and medical care. The organizations serve communities in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and Virginia.

Comments about ClassicFlame Margate 26" Electric Fireplace Entertainment Center in Caramel Oak - 26MM1754-O128:
This Fireplace Media Console was the perfection addition to our Living Room. We have slate end tables and coffee tables that fit together perfect with this Fireplace with slate pieces on it. The large 7" shelf made for our surround system made this Media the perfect buy. The Fireplace is very relaxing and makes the whole TV set-up attractive. Thanks for such a great product and shopping experience.

Amazing (5/5) | Dec 7, 2012 | Miranda | Oh US | |
I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he LOVES it! True to size, and SUPER soft. We both wore Footie Pajamas to a Christmas party in college and we were a hit! | ||||
Silly Scoobs (4/5) | Jan 1, 2013 | Jackie Peters | Guilford CT US | |
Funny and comfy but a these are not as thick and comfy as the other 2 pairs of jammies I bought. They are funny and my son and his cousins all thought they were hysterical at the family Christmas party. | ||||
Super cute but runs small! (3/5) | Nov 25, 2012 | Christy Card | Vista CA US | |
I ordered this in a size XL for my hubby who is about 5 foot 11 and 180 LBS. The PJs are tight. We plan to give them to his brother for Christmas instead since he is 5 foot 9 and should fit in them much better. Strangely enough we ordered another pair in a different style for my brother in law in size L and they are big on my hubby!!! So strange. The sizing is off. |


text: Stayed over on a long layover at Dubai courtesy Emirates. The hotel was good and very well managed. Considering the number of people who check in and check out at any given time the guys at the reception are doing a very commendable job. The food is good and meets the basic requirements. The rooms are basic and well maintained.... More

.......once everything is settled you will not have any extra noise nor squeaky parts
Any news sixty? Is this great idea of yours dead?
Like I have posted multiple times if the design goal was a slightly stiffer Red Cherry I'd be interested. But a supposedly "smoother" blue/brown cherry seemed a bit nebulous.
I think the design goal should be a spring lighter than a Blue/Brown/Red spring. A "smoother" spring seems a bit touchy feely for me.
