quote:Originally posted by ShepskyI agree slozo, it's been especially tough watching them lose yet again, when they have better players then previous years. I've already had talks with friends of mine of hanging up the jerseys, scraping off tattoos with SOS pads (jokingly) this year is a wash, but there is a positive, as mentioned Carlyle has the team playing better defensively in just a couple games, maybe he can get some offense back, with a couple offseason pickups (perhaps a goalie) maybe next year this team can play consistently from day 1 under the new coach. If not, surely Burke's days will be numbered....Every day is a great day for hockey-Mario Lemieux
quote:Originally posted by slozoI disagree with the notion that any success/failure we have is dependant on the whims of how good the goalie plays. Sure, a goalie is very important - but a defence can make a goalie look much, much better than he is if they play it right.

I personally think burke is thinking scrap the season and start over with a new coach and system.I have to agree with this entire post, with the exception of all but the final sentence (still trying to decipher the rest, and who carloly is). Wilson is Burke's scapegoat. The season is lost.

They need a solid shut-down defenceman...and they either need a top flight goalie or a new goalie coach who has something other than a tombstone-like positioning philosophy only.Those 4 pieces weren't coming. Not with Wilson behind the bench.Now...let's see what 'Burkey' can pull out of his hat. We've already seen what he could pull out of his pants.It'll be a miracle if they make the eastern top 8 this year. Next year? They better make it...and last at least a round in the search for the holy spitoon...or he'll be back sharing life's journey with Dirty Ron.Lee Marshall

Cholesterol and Cardiac Test Labs in Louisa, Kentucky
Chances are that you, like most people, have been warned that high cholesterol levels aren't healthy, and that keeping track of those levels is important for the prevention of heart disease the No. 1 cause of death in the US, according to the American Heart Association. Whether you are interested in finding out your cholesterol numbers for the first time or need testing to see whether efforts to lower your cholesterol levels are working, Health Testing Centers can offer easy access to a top-quality cardiac test lab near Louisa, KY for affordable, convenient cholesterol testing.
So what, exactly, is the connection between cholesterol levels and heart disease?
The main issue is the effect high cholesterol levels can have on the condition and function of your blood vessels. When too much cholesterol is present in the blood, it can build up on the walls of blood vessels, forming a plaque that often restricts or blocks blood flow. Called atherosclerosis, this condition is a major risk factor for the development high blood pressure and, eventually, heart diseases, including coronary heart disease and heart attack. For these reasons, it is important to test cholesterol levels regularly, via a cardiac test lab near Louisa, KY that uses physician-approved lab tests and procedures to ensure accurate and reliable test results.
So what are your cholesterol test options?
The most common options are simple cholesterol screenings, which combine measurements of both LDL (bad) and HDL (good) cholesterol into a total cholesterol score, and lipid panels, which measure LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels separately for a more detailed evaluation of heart disease risk. Both are readily available through your healthcare provider or by contacting Health Testing Centers for testing via a visiting a high-quality cardiac test lab near Louisa, KY.

Residency programs held up
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Hundreds of medical students may not be able to start their residency programs in Illinois this summer because of licensing delays.
The delays are the result of layoffs in the state office that processes the residents' license applications. Illinois officials and the physicians they license have disagreed for months over how to fund the office.
Financial woes forced the office to cut 18 staffers last month. Since then, the application processing time has increased from 16 days to six months.
Dr. Karen Broquet (broh-KAY') oversees medical residencies at Southern Illinois University, and she says the delays mean some highly qualified students may choose to complete their residencies in other states.
Senior medical students nationwide have until Wednesday to rank the teaching hospitals where they want to earn their specialty.

The Clinton High School Dragons soccer team dominated Stone Memorial Panthers at Friday night's game with a final score of 3-0.
The Clinton High School Dragons soccer team dominated Stone Memorial Panthers at Friday night's game with a final score of 3-0.
The shutout was icing on the cake for seniors Brandon Roberts, Alex Willard, Stephen Miller, Zach Peterson, Reggie Wilcox, Nick Richmond, Tyler Duncan, Jon Ross, Bret Foust and Tom Stier, who were honored during the Senior Night ceremony at the Clinton High practice field.
The Dragons came out fired up and kept the ball on the opposing team's end for most of the game, in large part due to the great passing and tenacious defense of Clinton.
Clinton's Oren Peterson started the scoring off when the Panthers tried to clear the ball off a Dragons' corner kick. Peterson took the ball out of the air and drilled it into the upper right hand corner of the goal. The next scoring opportunity came when Willard punched it in from outside the box.
The final point took place in the last quarter, when Roberts dribbled past two defenders and put it into the side netting past the Panthers goalkeeper.
The Dragons started district play against Karns Monday night and lost 5-3. Willard scored a hat trick by scoring all three goals off of free kicks for Clinton.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Growing up in the Northwest England metropolitan of Greater Manchester, West Virginia women's swimming senior Mandie Nugent never thought she would end up in the states, but knew she needed to make a radical change as her high school career was winding down.
"If I hadn't have done this, I probably wouldn't have a great future ahead of me," Nugent says. "I didn't want to go to school, I didn't want to keep swimming, I didn't want to do anything. I wanted to work in a small job and maybe work my way up the system to become a manager. I wasn't goal driven and had no prospects in my life."
Fast forward four years and Nugent has become one of the WVU's all-time greats in women's swimming as a seven-time conference champion, a three-time NCAA Qualifier and a two-time Honorable Mention All-American.
"I think coming over here revitalized some of her goals," head coach Vic Riggs says. "You see it click with her. You know that she is just out there swimming and it's not hard, it's not work and she's not thinking about it a lot, she's just racing."
When arriving on the WVU campus prior to the 2009-10 season, Nugent had a plan of continuing an already successful career in film editing.
"I actually used to do film editing with MTV BOOM!," Nugent recalls. "I won an Apple Mac and a digital camera through a contest and film editing was the path I planned on going into."
It was quickly realized that WVU did not offer such a program and Nugent, who made clothes in her spare time, decided to enroll in the fashion design and merchandising program.
"It's a lot harder than I thought it would be. People tell me that I'm in the easy major, but I have so much to do," Nugent explains. "I have to make 10 garments for fashion shows, I have to create different designs and sometimes I have to miss practice. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be, but I can't even imagine being in a different major because I've had so much fun."
The hard work has paid off as she will continue her fashion career following graduation. Nugent has been offered a position as a stylist with Nordstrom's in Pittsburgh, beginning in the shoe department and eventually working her way on to a team of stylists.
"I may go back to England, I may not, but this has definitely been a good choice because I've made something of myself," Nugent says. "I have little kids asking me for my autograph and people respect me as a swimmer and a person."
Nugent's drive in the pool was noticed last year at the Big East Championships in the 200 fly, an event she won in her first three conference championships, when she was in second place going into the last 25 yards of the race.
"She (Tanja Kylliainen - Louisville) had the lead the whole race and the last 25 (yards) I crept up," Nugent recalls. "I killed her in the underwaters and that's been my strategy all along with the last 50 (yards), so that wasn't any surprise to me."
Nugent went on to win the event by nearly one second and set a school and Big East record in the process with a time of 1:54.43, qualifying her for the NCAA Championships with an "A" cut.
"All true champions have a point in time where they separate themselves from the rest of the pack," associate head coach Damion Dennis explains. "Watching that 200 fly race was like watching a cat and mouse game and the Mandie decided it was over. She made a statement with that swim."
At the NCAA Championships, Nugent earned Honorable Mention All-America honors with a ninth-place finish in the 200 fly, beating Kylliainen again, and as part of the 16th place 800 free relay team.
"To beat her at Big East and then NCAAs just shows that Vic knows what he is doing when it comes to me," Nugent says. "We've had the race planned out since sophomore year and it has never changed. I'm hoping for a lot more success in my final year, this is the year I'm going to leave my stamp on the board."
Nugent's ultimate swimming goal is to medal at the NCAA Championships, earning All-America status and earning a spot on West Virginia's All-America wall.
"I have (strength coach) Beth (Byron) shouting at me in the weight room telling me every pushup and everything I do has to be for that All-America status," Nugent says. "There are two spots next to (former WVU men's basketball player) Kevin Jones' face and mine is going to be there by the end of the year.
"I've had a goal that I want to get Top 3 and medal and that's been my goal since freshman year. I'm not going to leave this town without an NCAA medal. I have a lot of pressure on me and I'm glad we have a strong team where we can get more girls with the NCAA rule changes."
By the time the University of Texas hosts the NCAA Championships in late-March she will have a good chance reaching her goal as it will be the third time she has swam in Texas' pool in the 2012-13 season. At the 2012 AT&T U.S. Winter Nationals Championships in December, Nugent placed sixth in the 200 fly. She makes a return trip looking to improve her time at the Big 12 Championships in late-February.
"It's going to be hard and I might not be the Big 12 Champion, but if you aren't going to do something to try and be the best, then there is no point in doing it," Nugent says. "I'm ready for a good challenge."

Three years ago come Sunday, Derek Ryan Funk got in his truck about midnight and drove from a home in Powell. He has not been seen — or heard from — again.
Three years ago come Sunday, Derek Ryan Funk got in his truck about midnight and drove from a home in Powell. He has not been seen — or heard from — again.
Derek is still listed officially as a missing person and a reward for information is still being offered by his family.
On Sunday, his family and friends will hold a "Remembrance Day" at Faith Promise Church.
The special event will be at 1 p.m. and is to "honor and remember" Derek on the third anniversary of his disappearance.
His parents, Kevin and Tricia Funk of Oak Ridge, hope someone with information will come forward.
Tricia told The Oak Ridger she "hopes to have media there (at the church) for TV purposes, to keep his picture out there."
"We still have the reward," she said, "but nobody has made any hits on it."
Derek was last seen about midnight on May 12, 2010, when he left a friend's house in Powell en route to his home in south Knoxville. That's all the Funks know about their eldest son's disappearance.
"People don't want to be known as a snitch," Tricia said. "People know what happened to him, but no one will talk. That is so frustrating for us."
Tricia said she wants those who may know something to think about her family. Derek was 19 when he disappeared and she thinks those young people he was acquainted with at the time may have matured now.
"They could now be having children of their own," she said. "I'd like to ask them — what if that was your sister, brother, and now three years later, down the road, what if it was your child? What would you want people to do? That's what's frustrating."
She said neither she, nor anyone in her family including her younger son, Brett, has had any contact with any of Derek's friends since he disappeared.
Tricia said media outlets had written about Derek's disappearance several times in the past three years and his friends had agreed to talk to reporters when contacted, but none returned calls .
"I contacted them and they said they would talk to reporters, but none did," she said. "My personal opinion is they might know something."
She said she occasionally sees things people say on social media outlets like Facebook, Topix and forums like "'ya'll don't know the whole story,'" but then "no one will talk."
"We know people know," Tricia said. "We don't know if they are afraid to talk or what.
"It's frustrating no one will do the right thing."
She said she recently attended a National Victims Week event in Knoxville and the speaker, a victim of crime, asked, "Are we going to let thugs intimidate?" She said he talked about a case where a witness had been threatened but still testified. In other words, she said, "He stood up."
"That's our case, exactly," she said. "We've got a few people who won't say anything. Take the reward, talk to police, surely you can't be kept quiet. I don't understand. People have to have a conscious. How can you sleep? Is there no one out there who believes in God anymore?"
Tricia said the community has to be involved.
"It's so frustrating to know someone might know something and won't talk," she said.
She said searches for Derek's truck were done in area lakes last year and vehicles were pulled from the water — but not Derek's.
Derek was driving a 1996 white Ford Ranger pickup truck. The 2009 Oak Ridge High School graduate is about 5 feet, 11 inches tall, and weighs about 130 pounds. He has blond hair and blue eyes, and sports several tattoos on his body, including both arms.
If anyone has information about Derek Funk or his truck, contact the Knoxville Police Department at (865) 215-7212.
Beverly Majors can be contacted at (865) 220-5514.

Sony has progressed its Bluetooth SmartWatch code to a more open status. The firm is thought to have made this move in response to criticism of the software applications and firmware that initially shipped with the device.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
- State of Cloud 2011: Time for Process Maturation
- Research: Federal Government Cloud Computing Survey
- Intrusion Prevention Systems: What to Look for in a Solution
- Asset Management For Electronics Industry
Sony says it now issues an invitation to software application developers to design, develop, and code applications, firmware and/or other software-based extensions to the device.
The Open SmartWatch program is Sony's direct call to developers to start coding for the watch with this "experimental project" that is now underway.
Sony says it has published everything from open-sourced binaries and code examples to DASH, and made it possible to unlock many of its smartphones and tablets.
The firm says that it is now making it possible for advanced developers to "create and flash" alternative firmware for the watch by sharing technical details and instructions.
"Developers have been able to create apps for the SmartWatch using the Sony Add-on SDK for quite some time already; however, with the Open SmartWatch project, we're opening up the device even more. If you're an advanced developer, you can now take control of SmartWatch as a hardware peripheral in new ways by creating and flashing your own alternative firmware," said the company.
After an Arduino hackathon in the Swedish city of Malmö, Sony has now brought together a set of technical information and instructions in the form of a hacker guide and a list of existing firmware versions (to be updated once there is alternative firmware available).
The "Hacker guide" consists of reference information for SmartWatch, including information about the display, Bluetooth, I2C peripherals, touch sensor protocols, etc.

Electromyography (EMG) measures and records the electrical activity of a muscle. The test can record a muscle's electrical activity at rest and during a muscle contraction.
An EMG is often done with nerve conduction studies. These studies can analyze the electrical activity in your nerves.
Reasons for Test
EMG is most often done to:
- Aid in diagnosing the source of pain, cramping, or weakness
- Differentiate between true muscle weakness and limitations due to pain
- Determine if muscles and nerves are working properly
- Distinguish between muscle and nerve disorders
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Pain or bruising at the needle insertion site
- Infection at the needle insertion site
What to Expect
Prior to Test
Make sure you talk to your doctor about the medications you are taking. You may be asked to adjust certain medications up to 1 week before the test.
On the day before and day of the test:
- If you have myasthenia gravis, ask if you should take any medication before the test.
- If directed to, avoid cigarettes, coffee, tea, and soft drinks for 2-3 hours before the test.
- Take a bath or shower before the test.
- On the day before, do not use lotion or oil.
- Wear comfortable clothing. You will have to change into a hospital gown.
- Tell your doctor if you have a pacemaker or other implanted device.
- Remove any clothing, jewelry, hairpins, eyeglasses, hearing aids, or other metal objects that may interfere with the procedure.
Description of the Test
A small needle electrode will be inserted into a muscle at rest. You will be asked to rest or contract the muscle. The electrical activity picked up by the needle will produce a waveform. The waveform will be recorded and analyzed. The test is repeated on different muscles and limbs.
After Test
You will be able to leave after the test is done. When you are home:
- Resume any medications you stopped before the test
- Resume normal activities as tolerated
How Long Will It Take?
30-90 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You may have some pain when the needle electrodes are inserted. The insertion feels like an injection into the muscle.
After the test, you may have muscle aches and discomfort for several days. Warm compresses and pain medication may help.
The doctor doing the EMG may discuss the results with you. A report will also be sent to your personal doctor. Your doctor will discuss treatment options based on the tests and other factors.

OXFORD � There will be a moment of silence Saturday in the Wellfleet Senior Center, where members of the Rich Family Association will have their annual reunion.
Folks there, some of them kin to Richard Lundstrom, 56, of Oxford, will be grieving his loss. He died after a car crash in his hometown Tuesday.
"He was a man of varied interests," Karen Rich of Whitman said. "He was a character in a really good way."
Neighbors on his tight-knit street said Mr. Lundstrom had a big heart, and there will be a hole in their neighborhood without him.
He was a regular at the Powell home, across the street from the house he shared with his mother.
"He was a real animal lover," Rebecca Powell said. "Someone dropped off two strays (cats) and they were in lousy shape, but he was able to get them into the house and cared for them. He loved them."
Mr. Lundstrom also looked after other stray cats in the neighborhood, and watched the Powells' home, fed their pets and watered their plants when they were away.
Mrs. Rich and her husband, Richard Rich, met Mr. Lundstrom through a family group that researches the lineage of the Rich family. Mr. Lundstrom's mother, Mary Lundstrom, was a Rich and also a member of the group.
Police on Wednesday identified Mr. Lundstrom as the victim in a two-car collision the day before.
Mr. Lundstrom's Ford Focus collided with a GMC pickup driven by Paul Cowden, 57, of 9 Sibley Circle.
According to police, Mr. Cowden was driving south on Main Street and Mr. Lundstrom was driving east on Quobaug Avenue. Police said the preliminary report indicates Mr. Lundstrom "entered Main Street in front of the Cowden vehicle and it was struck in the driver's side door."
Sgt. Anthony P. Saad said police are continuing to investigate the accident but may never know why Mr. Lundstrom pulled out.
A cross in the same area where the accident occurred marks the site of another fatal accident. Sgt. Saad said the memorial has been in place for a decade or more in memory of a girl who was struck while crossing the street. He said the area is not one where accidents happen very often.
"It's a rare occurrence," he said. "It's wide open with clear visibility."
Oxford rescue crews used hydraulic tools to free Mr. Lundstrom from his car. He was taken to Harrington HealthCare at Hubbard in Webster, where he died from his injuries, police said.
Mrs. Rich said Mr. Lundstrom was smart, a German scholar and translator who loved history and sometimes joked about the thick glasses he wore.
Mason Powell said his neighbor was extremely smart and he believed Mt. Lundstrom had a "couple of college degrees.
"He was usually smarter than the people he worked for," he said.
Ms. Powell said her friend was a cautious driver and she is heartbroken over the loss.
"He was one of those figures in the neighborhood that you could count on," she said.

by David Kurasz, executive director of the New Jersey Fire Sprinkler Advisory Board
A three-alarm fire struck Union City on the afternoon of Monday, Dec. 3, on the fourth floor of a multi-family building, located on Bergenline Avenue and 5th Street. The powerful blaze caused flames that lasted hours and clouds of black smoke that filled the air, and resulted in an uninhabitable building and dozens of residents displaced.
Fortunately, no one was injured as a result of this fire, but this catastrophic property loss and displacement of more than 20 families this holiday season is devastating. Tragic fires like this one can be prevented. Currently, there is pending legislation in New Jersey, bill A1570 in the Assembly, and recently introduced Senate bill 2273, which would make it mandatory for all newly constructed one- and two-family homes as well as condominiums and townhomes to be equipped with fire sprinklers. If passed, this legislation would help to reduce the devastating effects of fires like this one, and help protect New Jersey residents in the places where they should feel safest — their homes.
Fire sprinklers are the only proactive form of fire protection, mitigating the risk to individuals affected by the blaze, including both occupants of the home and the firefighters who respond to battle the fire.

She is currently looking for full-time or an internship position for the summer in the environmental field. She has applied for an internship with the Department of Environmental Quality working in the press department.

She recently returned from a mission trip to Quilali, Nicaragua. While on the trip she worked with food distribution for residents of the city. She also had the opportunity to talk with the mayor of the city about their economic future.
�It was amazing and a life changing experience to be in a third world country,� she said. �It is definitely something I would do again.�
Barrington has been on the dean�s list every semester. On campus she has been a member of the Wesley Foundation. She also has done volunteer work at Crystal Springs Camp and with the Cass Community sustainability project in Detroit.

Lynelle Eloise "Lynn" Cook, age 85, of Tecumseh, passed away Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012, at Herrick Medical Center, with her loving family by her side.
Lynelle Eloise "Lynn" Cook, age 85, of Tecumseh, passed away Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012, at Herrick Medical Center, with her loving family by her side.
She was born June 15, 1927, in Gary, Ind., a daughter of Roy Franklin and Ruth (Robirds) Bales. On Aug. 13, 1950, she married Carlton L. Cook and they celebrated 62 years together earlier this year.
Lynn worked as a home economics teacher, raised her family at home, and then became a real estate broker for various agencies in Lenawee County, including Glover Real Estate and Lenawee Properties where she was a part owner — most recently Edward Surovell. Lynn was a member of First Presbyterian Church of Tecumseh, where she served as an elder and was Sunday school superintendent. She belonged to the Little Garden Club, Herrick Medical Center Auxiliary, and was a 4-H Leader. Lynn believed strongly in preserving the past and she was instrumental in forming the Tecumseh Area Historical Society, was on the board of Tecumseh Planning Commission and the Tecumseh Carnegie Preservation League. She and her husband were the first to receive the Tecumseh Area Chamber of Commerce Musgrove Evans Award, and she also received the Realtor Golden Rule Award in 1993. Lynn enjoyed traveling, gardening, homemaking, and flying; she was proud to obtain her pilot's license. Most of all she enjoyed the time she spent with her family and swimming with "the girls."
In addition to her husband, Lynn is survived by her six children, Patricia (Harvey) Schmidt of Tecumseh, Catherine (Bill) Klasner of Tecumseh, April (Dan) Gunder of Tecumseh, Jennifer (Dale) Aldrich of Chapin, S.C., William (Patricia) Cook of Peachtree City, GA, and Margaret (Lloyd) Miller of Tecumseh; two sisters, Phyllis (Earl) Baugh of Zephyr Hills, Fla., and Betty Prang of Jonesville; 15 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren with another one on the way.
Lynn was preceded in death by her parents; and a sister, Florence Bean.
At Lynn's request cremation has taken place. A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at noon Saturday, Nov. 24, at First Presbyterian Church in Tecumseh, with the Rev. James Browne officiating.
The family will receive friends at the church from 10:00 a.m. until the time of services at noon. Inurnment of her cremated remains will take place at a later date at Brookside Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the charity of the donor's choice.
Condolences may be offered to the family at www.handlerfuneralhomes.com.

This is a lesson plan for an activity about the nature of the Sun's apparent motion throughout the day. Learners will follow detailed instructions to construct a sundial using everyday materials and make measurements of the shadow cast by the... (View More) sundial. Learners use the shadow cast by the sundial to track the motion of the Sun throughout the day and use these measurements, geometry, and trigonometry to make calculations of altitude and azimuth of the Sun, as well as the time of true local noon and the altitude of the Sun at true local noon. Measurements can be taken during one day only, for a few days, or on many days throughout an entire year to get a more complete picture of the Sun's apparent motion. This activity requires daytime access to a sunny outdoor location over the course of several hours. This is an activity in the Touch the Sun teacher's guide. (View Less)

Quick Despatch
Unless otherwise stated, orders are typically despatched within one business day. If an order is made after hours or on non-business days it is deemed to be made on the next business day - so, for example, an order made on the weekend will be queued for despatch on the Monday, and is typically despatched that day or the following business day. Items that are ordered before 12noon (10am for New Zealand) on a business day, are usually despatched that same day.
Delivery Timeframes
Delivery timeframes are dependent on your location, which distribution centre we are sending from, the size and number of parcels, and the schedules of the carrier. Australia Post and Toll Ipec are our preferred carriers, although sometimes other carriers are utilised. In most cases the average delivery times we observe are:
|VIC Metro
|1 to 3 business days
|VIC Regional
|2 to 4 business days
|NSW Metro
|2 to 4 business days
|NSW Regional
|4 to 6 business days
|QLD Metro
|3 to 5 business days
|QLD Regional
|4 to 9 business days
|TAS, SA, WA and NT
|3 to 9 business days
These are average delivery times and we often observe shorter and longer timeframes. Renovator Store cannot control delivery timeframes and processes, and your first point of communication on a delivery is the carrier.
To see more detailed estimated delivery timeframes visit our Estimated Shipping Times page.
Your order might arrive in separate deliveries
An order might come in multiple parcels. Sometimes we might send your order in more than one package or from different distribution centres, and they may arrive at different times.
How can I track my order delivery?
In most cases you will be sent instructions by email on how to track your delivery once your order has been completed. In some cases tracking information is not available. If you are concerned about the progress of your delivery the fastest way to get information is to contact the carrier and quote the tracking number. We can only see the same tracking information available to you.
What if I am not at home to accept delivery?
Australia Post and Toll typically require a signature upon delivery and our nominated couriers typically deliver only during business hours. So it is best to provide a shipping address that will be attended during business hours. If someone is not available to accept the goods the standard practice is to leave a card informing you how to collect at your local Post Office or for re-delivery.
You can put a short note on your order on the order checkout screen to provide delivery instructions, however Renovator Store cannot guarantee the carrier will observe these requests.
We can deliver to an Australia Post Parcel Locker
For a single item purchase you can easily arrange for delivery to an Australia Post parcel locker. There are 200 locations across Australia (also at 7-Eleven Stores and BP Service Stations) that are accessible 24/7 and free to arrange. They will email and SMS you when its ready to collect!

A poor second half doomed the Pratt Community College Beavers women's basketball team on a pre-Thanksgiving road swing to Lamar (CO) a few weeks ago.
PCC was able to avenge that defeat Monday night at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena, getting past the Lady 'Lopes 67-58 in the return match.
A poor second half doomed the Pratt Community College Beavers women's basketball team on a pre-Thanksgiving road swing to Lamar (CO) a few weeks ago.
PCC was able to avenge that defeat Monday night at the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena, getting past the Lady 'Lopes 67-58 in the return match.
"We gave the game away to them last time," PCC head coach Stephanie Thompson said. "It felt good to get a little revenge on them here at home."
Lamar likes to play a 2-2-1 half-court trap. It gave the Beavers some trouble initially, but they made an adjustment and began taking the ball down the wings rather than the middle and it resulted in some good looks.
"We worked on that this week,"Thompson explained. "They want you to try to get the ball in the middle, so we attacked down the side instead. We still had too many turnovers, but overall we got the job done."
Tatiana Grant and Hannah Mehl were effective finishers on the pressbreaker, combining for 20 points in the first half to lead the Beavers to a 35-27 advantage at the break. Grant scored buckets slashing to the hoop and Mehl hit several baseline jumpers.
The second half began with Lamar hitting some tough shots and Pratt going cold. At the 16:00 mark, the 'Lopes had knotted the score at 40.
Hayli Smith began to find the range for PCC though, and Grant and Mehl rediscovered their touch over the next several minutes. With 7:00 to go, the Lady Beavers had retaken the lead, 53-47.
Lamar made a late run, aided by some iffy charging calls against the Beavers. They would get back to within 3 with 3 minutes left on the clock, but then went into hack mode, trying to get the ball back by putting Pratt at the charity stripe. The Lady Beavers were up to the task, sinking most of their free throws down the stretch to hold off the Lady 'Lopes, 67-58.
"We started off the year shooting well from the line, but recently we've been having trouble there," Thompson mentioned. "It was nice to see us get back to making them when we needed to."
"I told the girls this game would come down to rebounding and free throws," Thompson continued. "And it did," The Beavers outrebounded Lamar 59-41 and outscored them from the stripe 22/33-12/21, which accounted for the margin of victory.
The win improves PCC to 8-3 on the year. The will travel to Allen County Wednesday for a double –header with the men. Game times will be 6 p.m. amd 8 p.m. The men and women each play twice more before the holidays.

…is as possible as it is necessary. This is the message of WILD10, a collaborative conservation process occurring right now that will culminate in the 10th World Wilderness Congress in beautiful Salamanca, Spain, 4-10 October 2013.
Hundreds of NGOs, experts, and government agencies are already involved in planning the practical and inspirational conservation outcomes that will emerge from WILD10 – all of them illustrating how we can all Make the World a Wilder Place.
The World Wilderness Congress is the world's longest-running and most productive international, public conservation programme. Founded and guided by The WILD Foundation, the World Wilderness Congress has met on nine previous occasions in Africa, Asia, Europe, the USA and Latin America. It involves many and diverse perspectives – communities, business, science, policy, education and training, and more. The inspiration and creativity of arts and culture drives and shapes many of the practical outcomes of this programme.
IUCN is directly involved in the process through the Wilderness Specialist Group of the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA), and the participation of hundreds of members and senior leaders.
WILD9 occurred in Mexico in 2009 and was opened by President Felipe Calderon. 1,500 delegates from 50 countries were present on-site and another 10,000 from 100 countries were online during the week.
WILD10, like all of its predecessors, will focus on achieving practical conservation results through an inclusive, diverse, and positive style of operation. Previous World Wilderness Congresses have produced (and often pioneered) such things as: the process that created the Global Environmental Facility (GEF); many new protected areas and community-based projects; the first international policy agreement on wilderness (Canada-US-Mexico); integrating the knowledge and work of indigenous leaders into global environmental concerns; and much more.
The three main "pillars" of the planning are Planet (A Global vision for Nature Needs Half), People (Creating a Social Movement for Nature), and Prosperity (Valuing our Natural Capital). Already being worked on by many partners are such elements as the GenWILD (Youth); CoalitionWILD (Young Professionals); Native Lands and Wilderness Council; A New Conservation Vision for Europe; Communications & Technology in a Wilder World; Wild Cities; Science and Stewardship Symposium; Large Landscape Conservation and Connectivity in a Crowded World; Wild Waters and Marine Wilderness; A Nature Strategy for Sustainable Development; Conservation Writing and Photography….and more!

Belknap Mill Society
The Mill Plaza
25 Beacon Street East
Laconia, NH 03246
Ph: 603-524-8813
"The Official Meetinghouse of New Hampshire"
The Belknap Mill is the oldest unaltered brick textile mill in America and the official meetinghouse of New Hampshire, featuring an industrial knitting machine, exhibits and concerts.
Open year round.
Built in 1823, the Belknap Mill is the only building left that represents the first stage of the Industrial Revolution in America. It is the oldest, unaltered brick textile mill in the United States. The Belknap Mill was one of the first mills to convert from weaving to knitting during the Civil War.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Belknap Mill has been designated as the Official Meetinghouse of New Hampshire for the building's historical, architectural and geographical significance.
There are two museums on the premises, the Hosiery Museum and the Power House Museum:
Hosiery Museum
The History of Hosiery exhibit focuses on the mill's history and its manufacture of hosiery, with real machines and storyboards depicting every aspect of hosiery manufacture, from dying through looping and boarding.
See the actual machines used at the Belknap Mill when it was a textile manufacturer, some with hand cranks and belts, others operating with gears and chains. The circular knitting machines on display had replaced weaving machines in order to manufacture seamless hosiery and bags at the time of the Civil War. Some of the equipment shows the modifications made in 1918 when the mill converted from water to electrical power.
The historic photographs and storyboards provide further information on the manufacturing processes and the people who worked at the mill, originally built in 1823 and remaining in operation until 1969.
Power House Museum
The History of Hydroelectric Power exhibit focuses on the Belknap Mill power house and contains live demonstrations of the history of hydroelectric power and the vital role it played in the American Industrial Revolution.
Working models provide hands-on experience in how water wheels and turbines work, and an electrical panel with switches gives the visitor a chance to see the setup that sent excess power generated at the mill to supply the city with electricity.
The power house also has the actual gears used at the mill, with their wooden cogs, along with belts connecting the generators and flywheels. Storyboards assist with explanations of the evolution from water power to hydroelectric power, and visitors are able to walk among the machinery for up-close examination of the equipment.

QUINCY � Carter Ballinger added another accomplishment to his memorable season.
The Jonesville junior claimed the county's lone district championship Saturday, while eight other wrestlers qualified for regionals at the Division 4 individual district tournament at Quincy High School.
The top four placers in each weight class advanced to the individual regional tournament, which will be held next Saturday at Hudson.
While Ballinger was the lone champion, Jonesville and four other regional qualifiers. Hillsdale had three qualifiers, while Jarret Wolford was the lone Reading wrestler to advance.
Ballinger went undefeated on the day to win the 125-pound district title. He pinned each of his opponents leading up to the finals, where he clinched the title with a 17-2 technical fall victory over Hudson's Mason Lopinski.
Ballinger is currently ranked No. 2 in Division 4 at 125 pounds and moved his overall season record to 37-1.
"He wrestled outstanding," Jonesville coach Mickey Rowe said. "He was much better than every kid there. Some kids have a tendency to wrestle down to their competition, but I tell him you have to look good against lesser competition."
Jonesville had four others place fourth. Michael Iler qualified for regionals at 103 pounds, while Joseph Rodrigeuz qualified at 145 pounds. Jonathan Rodrigeuz (189) and William Corbin (285) also advanced to regionals.
Hillsdale had one second place wrestler and two others place third. Joe Munger led the way for the Hornets, placing second at 215 pounds to qualify for regionals. Kevin Curby (160) and Nate Boardman (285) both placed third for the Hornets.
"We're going to work hard this week to make sure we have all three be state qualifiers," Hillsdale coach Jerry Curby said.
Wolford turned in another strong performance in the district tournament. The Reading senior captain placed second in the 160-pound weight class to clinch his regional spot. Wolford won his first three matches before falling to Springport's Jacob Cooper in the finals.
Reigning four-time team state champion Hudson had 11 regional qualifiers, including seven district champions. Addison had a district-best 12 regional qualifiers, while Quincy had five wrestlers advance to next weekend.
The regional qualifiers from the Quincy district will be joined by those from the Blissfield district in the individual regional tournament Saturday morning. The top four wrestlers in each weight class will advance to the individual state tournament, held Feb. 28 through March 2 at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
Nine county wrestlers advance

From the Deep: A dresser transformed
Are they gone? Great, now onto this weekend's project.
As I mentioned in this post, I was thinking of adding a bit of whimsy to the dresser I scored on craigslist (loved the shape, hated the reddish finish). Once I got a good look at the graphic, I knew I didn't have the skills to freehand it. I dragged out the overhead projector (the same one I used to make the worldly sofa table) and got to work. It took a few hours, a sore back and a helpful husband but I'm loving how it turned out.
It's definitely a personality piece. Something I always try to add to every room but this is especially fun for our casual beach getaway. Did you notice this octopus is missing a leg? Oh the stories he could tell if our octopus could talk!
If I wasn't pregnant I would have sanded the whole thing down to the natural wood before I started painting. I didn't think I could manage that without inhaling half the finish in the process so the red stain had to stay. The white really tones the red down so its not nearly as bothersome now.
The step by step photos tell the story but obviously you could use the same technique with just about any image. I simply printed out the image onto a transparency, lined up the projected image onto the dresser to help me outline my leggy friend before filling in the rest with a larger brush + roller. (I found the octopus image at the always resourceful graphics fairy)
My only problem now is that I sort of like how it looks in the living room so much I'm not sure if I want to hide it in the bedroom. Hmmm. I might have to find something else for the bedroom. Decisions, decisions.
What's your verdict - amused or horrified?

my verdict?ReplyDelete
Jealous! Great job!
I REALLY like it. I love that you left the top of the dresser in the dark finish. That is one of my favorite looks and I searched high and low for furniture that incorporated the look when I was creating my 1st daughter's "big girl" room, but never found anything I liked. You hit a home run!ReplyDelete
- Elizabeth9:25 AM
So the seven tentacle thing was bothering me and after scrolling up and down multiple times, I THINK you might have just missed one of them. It's on the right and it looks like two tentacles sort of blend together and one goes down and the other goes off to the right. If you were counting from the left tentacles six and seven blend. It looks like the seventh one should head towards the drawer pull of the bottom drawer. In your collage of photos, you can see it in the picture on the right of the one where you can see your hand doing the outline painting. Is it just me?ReplyDelete
No its not just you (i mention that it only has 7 legs in the post). I intentionally left it off because I didn't want to cut into the hardware and I didn't want to add it randomly. But asymetry doesn't really bother me.ReplyDelete
It actually didn't take too long. I went back and forth about painting some of the interior details (which would have required a lot more patience) but I'm glad I went with the more simple shape now that its done.ReplyDelete
I totally missed your post about being pregnant. Congratulations!!!! So happy for you. I'm expecting in October (my second little girl) and will also be working on a nursery. I'm sure yours is going to be the most adorable and clever one ever though.ReplyDelete
As usual, I'm totally impressed with what you've come up with. Love the octopus.
Not a HUGE fan of octopi, BUT, this was exquisitely done!ReplyDelete
Such a fun project!! Loving your creativity here. Bravo.ReplyDelete
Very cute! I'm all for painting old furniture!ReplyDelete
I love it so much!! And this is so easy to do! I have gotta get myself an old school projector like that one...ReplyDelete
Stephanie, this is an awesome solution to your problem!! :)
Considering my recent love for octopie it's no wonder I love this! Gorgeous idea and I really love the reddy stain peeping through the white xxReplyDelete
Oh, baby! A heptadpus dresser should go on tour all through the house.ReplyDelete
- Coastinganon10:28 AM
I love it! I did a nearly identical application to a dresser for my son's 'big boy' bedroom, but I am nowhere near as patient as you, so I created a custom decal and reverse stenciled it. You can see it here: http://www.otherpiecesofme.com/2011/08/reverse-stencil-dresser-success.htmlReplyDelete
that is awesome.ReplyDelete
from idea to execution to finish
So creative!!!ReplyDelete
Looks truly fantastic! I am so glad you went with something so fun! It is perfect.ReplyDelete
You are sooooo stinkin' creative, Stephanie!ReplyDelete
Love it!
And congrats on the pregnancy!
I'm actually 28 weeks pregnant with twins and am behind on everything, including blog-reading, so I just now saw this.
Hope you're feeling fantastic (as can be with the whole growing a human being business you've got going on).
Holy smokes that is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I love this dresser! I pinned it on my neutral nursery board so more people would find your tutorial.ReplyDelete
If you would rather I didn't, just contact me via the addy posted on the footer of my website and I'll take it right down.
Unique Baby Nursery Ideas
Hi Stacey. This was a last minute project so I didn't pay that muc attention to the paint - I just went to Home Depot and picked up a quart in white that had a LOW VOC and no primer promise. I believe I used Glidden Duo (the same paint I used for my shore bedroom) but I can't seem to find a photo to double check. You can read more about what I thought about that paint on my MYColortopia post: http://mycolortopia.com/blog/bedrooms/my-guest-room-makeover Its not completely smell free, just a lot less toxic than traditional paint. When used in small quantities like the dresser, the smell was barely noticeable.ReplyDelete
- Stacy11:11 AM
Thanks so much for your reply. This is also a last minute project (baby countdown is in full effect), so hopefully we'll have a piece as stunning as yours very soon! And thanks for the link to the other post, I've been wondering about that specific paint. (P.S. We have a dark blue/almost navy blue room as well and it's my FAVORITE room in my entire house.)ReplyDelete
- Elizabeth11:37 AM
Oh! When you mentioned it was missing a leg in the post I didn't get that you made that decision on purpose. I read it as you were annoyed by it and it kind of bothered me too. This whole Internet thing is tricky that way. I just thought it was crazy that the original artist could do such an amazing drawing and then leave off one of the legs, so I was excited to find it for you. Funny thing is I never would have counted if you hadn't brought it up. Looking back I see where it would have gone through one of the drawer pulls. You've to do what's right for the piece. Great work as always!ReplyDelete
- cvloehr10:31 PM
Hello Mrs. Limestone, I am a new though completely addicted visitor to your blog. I too am an avid refurbisher of found furniture. My question is: how do you get rid of the musty smell? My projects generally result from pieces on the side of the road in suburbia with free signs, that are not gross but still have that certain mustiness. I have left them out in the sun to bake, I have cleaned thoroughly, but once it makes it's way into my home, I am often still left offended when I walk past. Thoughts? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks for reading. I've never really had much of an issue on this front. Once a piece of furniture has been thoroughly wipes down and then painted, it shouldn't smell. Have you tried using vinegar? That might neutralize a little must. If the odor is strong at the start I would probably not bring it home. Some things are just too funky even if free :)ReplyDelete
- cvloehr10:41 PM
Vinegar is a great idea, thank you! It didn't smell at all to me until my overly sensitive husband started complaining about it, and now I smell it all the time. There is also the possibility that it is the stain and sealer that I used that we are smelling. I'll have to do some research before bringing in my next piece.ReplyDelete
Oh my God how time flies! Your octupus reminded me of an octopus I painted that seems like just yesterday, but - horror - it's already been 6 years! [and I did mess up one of the legs :-)] End result was still fun and a success; she loved it!ReplyDelete

SPOKANE — University of Idaho Extension educators Lyle Hansen and Luke Erickson taught the value of maintaining a good credit score and good credit history to Washington FFA members through a game, "Who Wants to be a Credit Score Millionaire?"
"The minute you turn 18, your credit becomes accessible to all lenders," Erickson told FFA students from roughly 12 area high schools during the Spokane Ag Expo and Pacific Northwest Farm Forum.
The educators said 50 percent of employers check credit records when making hiring decisions. They told the students to make all payments on time, keeping loan balances low and avoiding short-term loans and payday lenders.
Northwest Farm Credit Services and CoBank sponsored the FFA session.
The credit service and UI Extension are developing a course to teach youth financial literacy and responsibility.
The credit service committed $280,000 to the four-year project.
"Kids these days don't realize you're not supposed to have seven credit cards," said Jennifer Rohrer, public relations and communications coordinator for the credit service. "Even the littlest things help when they come to us and ask for a loan."
Erickson and Hansen will develop training programs for 4-H volunteers, school teachers and credit service employees.
"Our whole goal is to help educate youth," said farm credit service executive vice president Fred DePell. "The whole concept of financial literacy is going to make them better potential customers for us, better producers, better stewards of the land."
Kim O'Neill, senior director of development in UI's College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, said the program will reach youth in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.
O'Neill expects to hold a summit in the first year of the four-year program.
Rohrer said UI will spearhead the program in 4-H, then expand to FFA and agricultural classrooms throughout the Northwest.
Teaching 4-H and FFA members about financial responsibility adds value for rural communities and agriculture in general, DePell said.
"They're going to be smarter, they're going to be more challenging, more selective and I think they're going to be more competitive and successful," he said. "If they're more successful, I think that's going to help those of us that work with them in this industry."

Atlas edges Phaneuf to win hockey crown
Kelly Morgan's goal with 13 seconds left led Atlas Precision Metal Fabricators past Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium 4-3 in the Manchester Over-40 Hockey League Amoskeag Cup championship game at JFK Coliseum.
It was the third straight playoff game win for Atlas, which finished the regular season in last place with a record of 4-10-1. Atlas got off to a 2-0 lead as a result of goals from Roland Ducharme and Gary Glynn, who also had two assists.
Phaneuf tied the game on goals from John Fraitzl and Dave Beliveau.
Atlas regained the lead on a power-play goal by team captain Bob Petrin, only to have Phanuef tie the game once again when John Mosowitz scored on a blast from the point.
Most of the observers figured overtime was coming. But Morgan put that thought to rest when he scored the game-winner.
Dave Anstey was the winning goalie, turning aside 21 shots.
Scott Greer had 24 saves for Phaneuf.

Once gain, the Andover Trojans defeated their opponent, continuing their winning streak they've had since the beginning of the season.
Once gain, the Andover Trojans defeated their opponent, continuing their winning streak they've had since the beginning of the season.
The Trojans defeated the Valley Center Hornets 42-17 Friday at District Stadium.
The game started slow, with neither team scoring in the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, though, Andover scored their first touchdown, with senior Miles Starks running 39 yards and scoring. The Trojans led the Hornets 6-0, but only for a few seconds.
Shortly after, the Hornets ran almost across the whole field and, on the next play, scored a touchdown. With the extra point good, the Hornets briefly overtook the Trojans by a point.
Moments later, junior Kenton Criser caught a long pass and scored for the Trojans. A two-point conversion pass was good, brining the score to 14-7, where it stayed until the end of the first half, when a last-second field goal by the Hornets brought the score to 14-10.
At 8:53 in the third quarter, Valley Center junior Caleb Claussen scored for the Hornets, letting his team pull ahead of the Trojans at 17-14.
Andover didn't let the Hornets stay ahead for long though, as junior Coen Rasmussen soon ran 53 yards and scored another Trojan touchdown, putting the Trojans ahead of the Hornets 22-17.
With 2:23 left in the third, junior Cole VanEpps ran 30 yards and scored another touchdown, extending the score to 29-17. VanEpps scored a five-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, bringing the score to 35-7.
Late in the fourth quarter, senior Cooper Nichols caught a 16-yard pass and scored the final touchdown of the game, bringing the score to 42-17, which led to yet another Trojan victory.
Head coach Mike Lee was happy with the game, but said his team needs to start playing better early in the game.
"We gotta start better," Lee said after the game. "We came out in the second half and played better, but we gotta start better than this. We did a lot of good things in the second half. But, we have to start better."
Lee said that his team's focus, which has been a problem for the team all year, is still an issue.
"It's something we never stop working on," he said. "If you can't get focused this coming week when Emporia's in town, you don't have a heartbeat, you don't have a brain. We're gonna have to be focused. From here on out, we're not gonna be able to get away with it. There's no way."
However, Lee said, the game did meet some of the team's expectations.
"We knew what we had to do," he said. "We knew we wanted to get a win. We knew we wanted to win by 21 for the district point difference."
The Trojan victory makes the team league champions and also helped them move up in the district.
For now, Lee said, he wants his team to play a full game, and not just come back in the second half and play hard.
"I thought we came out in the second half and really played like we're capable of playing," Lee said. "We need to do it for a full game. There were a number of guys who played real well, especially in the second half."
