Worthy Wage Activities
- Inform candidates and their elected officials about the early childhood education staffing crisis and the impact of low compensation on the quality of care.
- Become a voter registrar and register parents and co-workers right at your workplace. (Contact your city or town hall for information on how to do this; you may be surprised how easy it is.)
- Help get out the vote by posting reminders and doing an Election Day countdown, extending hours on Election Day for those who need extra time to go to the polls and arranging transportation to the polls for those who need it.
- Make life-sized "Worthy Wage dolls" by stuffing child-sized clothing and attaching a cardboard head. Attach signs to the dolls with messages like "If I'm a precious resource, why is my early childhood education provider paid less than a living wage?" or "Why did the early childhood educator cross the road? To get to her second job!"—along with some local wage statistics. They are great to display at public events, in public buildings, in storefronts (especially on and near Worthy Wage Day) or delivered to the offices of local politicians and/or community leaders.
- Organize a rally at your state capitol, city hall, city landmark or other area where you will be visible. Some groups have included a march to the location. Signs, singing and chanting will get you noticed and your message heard. Speakers can include policy and decision-makers, parents, and teachers and providers. Tell your story and make clear what you are calling for an increased investment in public funds for early childhood education and to improve early childhood educator jobs.
- Organize a "job shadow" to educate interested community members about the realities of early childhood education. Invite a guest (e.g., a local celebrity, an elected official or a political candidate) into your center or home-based program to "shadow" you or a co-worker, giving an up-close, firsthand perspective on the work. Cap off the experience by delivering a mock "paycheck" for the time worked.
- Organize a mock early childhood education center in the chamber of your state capitol and invite your representatives to get a glimpse of the complexity of what goes on with a group of young children in child care every day. (Minnesota worthy wagers used this strategy very successfully.)
- Send or deliver "May Day" baskets to policymakers with your message. Include parents and children in making and delivering these baskets.
- Send or deliver piggy banks with 13 cents in them. This represents the average hourly increase for the highest-paid early childhood educators over the past 10 years--hardly enough to keep up with cost of living, support a family or save for retirement!
- Send your message on an infant-size disposable diaper with a related Worthy Wage message, such as "It's time for a change!" Yes, the U.S. Postal Service will deliver these as mail! You can also send or deliver peanuts with a message such as "We won't keep working for peanuts!"
- Contact and collaborate with your state federation or AFT national to organize a call-in day to Congress or your state legislature regarding pending legislation that affects your profession.
- Publicize commitments to improve early childhood education jobs in your community on Worthy Wage Day or any day of the year. Create a pledge stating that you will work to improve jobs for early childhood educators. Collect signatures of your coworkers, elected officials and community leaders, then develop and issue a press release to highlight the people who have signed on. It will have a greater impact if you work together with other early childhood centers on this project--there is power in numbers!
- Create a public display featuring the pledges that people have made to support child care issues. With the heading "Improving early childhood education jobs one step at a time," one display could consist of "footsteps" with the pledges written on them. Then make a copy of the "footsteps" to send to your legislators and request that they pledge to support specific legislation endorsed by your state federation.
- Submit op-eds or letters to the editor to your local newspaper outlining the importance of investing in early childhood education.
- Invite a local news anchor to participate in a job shadow at your center.
- If there is a local Worthy Wage campaign or other group working on compensation issues in your community, designate at least one person from the staff or your family child care support group to regularly represent your program and report back to the group.
- Invite a knowledgeable early childhood education advocate from the community to a staff meeting or provider support group meeting to discuss policy initiatives in your state and your role as an advocate.
- Stay informed and help others be informed about current issues in early childhood education by joining the CCW/AFTEF network.
- Build a support network among programs that are working to improve early childhood education jobs. When you link with other programs, you may discover new ways of achieving goals that others have already figured out, new potential resources and new partners in problem-solving. A support network may also help you monitor your progress, document what worked and what didn't, and celebrate your successes.
- When you attend conferences, network with your peers. Conferences are great places to share diverse ideas with people who have the same goals as you.
- Have you ever used an overhead projector to capture a child's side profile, traced the silhouette of the head and mounted it on a contrasting-color paper? You can similarly capture the silhouettes of early childhood educators, and attach personal stories. A collection of many silhouettes with powerful stories makes a fabulous display and will strengthen your campaign work.
- Plan a "teach-in" or professional in-service day to educate teachers, providers, directors, teacher educators and others on how to be a public policy advocate. Contact your local for assistance in arranging this professional development opportunity.
Public Education
- Create a special bulletin board featuring newspaper articles, event announcements, staff profiles, etc., to inform parents and visitors about compensation and other issues of professional development and related community activities.
- Include a regular column in your parent newsletter about the impact of the staffing crisis on your services and share information about what they can do to help create better early childhood education jobs.
- Join with other early childhood professionals in your community for a speak-out, rally or celebration with a focus on good early childhood jobs.
- Make a commitment to talk with someone outside of the field who has an interest in our issues.
- Offer to make a presentation on quality early childhood education at a community college, civic organization or church group.
- Worthy Wage campaign groups have created documentation panels, Worthy Wage dolls, provider profiles and more for conferences they attend. Not only does this serve as a great place for visual displays; it also creates an opportunity to share the great work you have been doing.
- Visibility at conferences can be as easy as wearing Worthy Wage buttons or T-shirts, stickers, or a Worthy Wage ribbon attached to a name tag. At a Michigan conference one year, worthy wagers handed out ribbon armbands with the word "babysitter" in a circle with a diagonal line running through it.
- If your event has a resource sharing area, set up an information table to display information on how to become involved in the fight for worthy wages.
- Create a "Worthy Work, Worthless Wages" public display that includes posters portraying teachers and providers at work, along with facts on low wages and high turnover. If your community has established a living wage or self-sufficiency standard, compare this with local early childhood professional wages. You can also put information on billboards, kiosks, restaurant table tents and other public areas. Some communities have put their stories and information on cardboard dolls or silhouettes. Display footprints carrying written pledges from early childhood programs to "take one step" toward improving teachers' and providers' jobs. Mail these pledges to policymakers to let them know what you are doing to improve early childhood education. Ask them to make a pledge to work toward securing a greater public investment in improving early childhood education.
Getting Parents Involved
- Invite parents to your work site for coffee and donuts or plan an award ceremony to recognize a superhero in early childhood education.
- Plan a parent-staff gathering to talk about the importance of early childhood education jobs, what they look like and what parents can do to help.
- Create a time capsule to demonstrate support for our nation's children. It could include a scrap book with pictures and words expressing wishes for children and/or the future of early childhood education; a collection of individual words, art, music and artifacts; or whatever else you might want to put into a single container. Then create a ceremony for encapsulating your materials and for opening it at a future date. As an adaptable activity, this could be used to engage many members of a community, including members of a Worthy Wage group, individual early childhood programs and their families, or any combination of the above.
- Ask parents to wear a message sticker to work on Worthy Wage Day. (See Downloads for your free template)
- Ask parents to send a postcard to policy makers asking for a direct investment of public funds in improving early childhood jobs. You can create your own personalized postcards, using photographs of teachers, providers, parents and children, placing paper stickers on the backs of the photos, writing your message and mailing them. Or, ask children to decorate 4 x 6 index cards and write your message on the back.

How to Manage Pests
UC Pest Management Guidelines
There are usually no symptoms of bacterial canker on seedlings; however, on young plants symptoms consist of poor growth and temporary wilting of branches. Lower leaves yellow and shrivel, but symptoms may not show until flowering. On mature plants there are two kinds of symptoms, those resulting from systemic infections (i.e., the bacteria enter the vasculature and invade much of the plant) and those resulting from secondary infections (i.e., the bacteria cause local infections of leaves, stem, and fruit).
In systemic infections of mature plants, leaflets of the oldest leaves curl, yellow, wilt, and finally turn brown and collapse (known as firing). Sometimes, one side of a leaf is affected. Plants grow poorly and wilt. Pith of stems becomes yellow and later reddish brown, especially at the nodes, and has a mealy appearance. The pith may later become somewhat hollow. In advanced infections, cankers may or may not form at the nodes. Light and later dark streaks may develop on stems. Branches break off easily. Plants may die.
In secondary infections, infection of the margins of leaves is common. Lesions are dark brown to almost black. Round to irregular spotting of leaves also occurs. Fruit may be spotted, especially near calyx.
On fruit bacterial canker symptoms appear as yellow to brown spots, slightly raised, surrounded by a persistent white halo ("bird's eye spot"). Spots are usually about 0.125 inch (3 mm) in diameter. Vascular tissue under the calyx scar and leading to seeds that may be brown.
In California, the source of the pathogen is probably seed and transplants, although local contamination within greenhouses is a potential source. In California, the pathogen only overwinters in the soil when the previous crop residue is not thoroughly incorporated and does not decompose. In colder climates, the bacterium may overwinter on undecomposed plant residue.
Tomato is the most important host of the pathogen. Several nightshades, including perennial nightshade (Solanum douglasii), black nightshade (S. nigrum), and S. triflorum, are naturally infected. Pepper and eggplant can be successfully artificially inoculated, but they are probably not important in the epidemiology of the disease on tomato. It is not known how long the bacterium can persist on nightshade.
In California, economic losses in direct-seeded fields are probably very uncommon. During unusually wet weather, however, secondary spread from frequent vine-training, cultivation, or other operations may cause extensive leaf loss. Canker probably occurs at a low incidence in many direct-seeded fields but almost always goes unnoticed.
Seed contamination with only a few bacterial cells, apparently below the level of detection, can result in relatively high numbers of infected transplants. For that reason, certified seed reduces the chances of infections, but is no guarantee of contaminated-free seed. A seedlot contaminated with very few infested seeds can cause serious problems in a greenhouse.
When the seed germinates, the bacteria enter the seedling through small wounds in the cotyledon, probably through broken trichomes. The bacteria move systemically through the xylem from which it invades the phloem, pith, and cortex. In a highly conducive environment, like a greenhouse, bacteria on the surface of infected plants are then splashed to surrounding plants during overhead irrigation. This kind of spread accounts for the occurrence of groups of plants or trays in the greenhouse and subsequent rows of infected transplants in the field. During planting, which invariably causes wounds, transplants may also be infected after an infected plant is handled, especially if the plants are wet.
Secondary spread occurs in splashing water, on contaminated equipment, during clipping, cultivation, or vine training operations, and other activities. In the field, such spread usually only results in local infections, i.e., leaf, stem, and fruit spots. In the greenhouse, these sources can lead to local and systemic infections.
In the field, the pathogen will survive indefinitely in tomato tissue. Once that tissue has decomposed in the ground, however, the bacteria will die because they are notsoil inhabitors. Thus, it is very important to turn under infected plant residue at the end of the season. Once that residue decomposes, the bacteria will die and the field does not pose a problem for subsequently plantings. It is prudent, however, to rotate to another crop for at least one season to assure that the tomato residue is completely gone.
In research trials, bacteria have survived as long as 10 months on contaminated wooden stakes. Hence, in the greenhouse it may be extremely important to disinfest the surface of benches and equipment to prevent spread to subsequent trays of transplants. In fields of more mature plants, disinfesting equipment is not as critical because any spread to other plants would probably result in local, and not systemic, infections. It is cautious, however, to wash equipment that has been through a heavily infested field. Surface disinfectants include bleach solutions (0.5 to 1% calcium hypochlorite) and Physan, among other products.
Planting clean transplants is the most important control measure. Vigilantly monitor seed fields and implement strict quality control measures. Assay seed should for detectable levels of contamination and discard lots if the bacterium is found. It may be prudent to soak all seed for 30 minutes in a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid (the final concentration of hydrochloric acid should be 1.1% with a pH of 0.9). Alternatively, seed could be soaked in 130°F water for 25 minutes. In the greenhouse, potting mix and flats should be steamed or washed with a 1% solution of calcium hypochlorite. Empty greenhouses between crops of transplants to allow time to disinfest benches, irrigation hoses, etc. Overhead water pressure should be low to prevent wounding. Copper applications may be necessary to reduce the efficient, yet unnoticeable spread between plants.
In the field, special measures may have to be taken once canker has been identified. Do not work fields when the foliage is wet. Frequent field operations at the wrong time can result in spread of the disease throughout the entire field. Unless the number of infected plants is small, it may do more harm than good to try to remove the symptomatic plants. Copper applications offer limited benefits because systemic infections cannot be affected and localized infections (the most probable scenario if other precautions are taken) pose a small economic threat. During wet weather, however, bactericides may be justified. At the season's end, incorporate all plant tissue. Tissue that remains on the surface and doesn't decompose is a real risk to subsequent tomato crops. Once the tomato residue decomposes, however, canker is no longer a threat. To be absolutely certain that the bacterium has been eliminated from the field, rotate out of tomatoes for at least one year.

Employees at the organization — the world's oldest futures exchange — have heckled Occupy Chicago protesters almost since day one. They've proudly hung "We Are The 1%" in their office windows, papered the movement with fliers, and sent out email spam. Now, they seem to have moved on to "job counseling." Though it may not be very good advice, as McDonald's recently hired just 60,000 workers out of 1 million applications they received.

In clause (9), before subclause (A), the word "facility" is substituted for "transportation" for clarity and consistency. In clause (12), the words "resulting from" and the text of 49 App.:1671(16)(A)–(D) are omitted as surplus. In clause (13), the words "(liquefaction or solidification)" and "(vaporization)" are omitted as surplus. In clauses (14) and (16), the word "pipeline" is added for clarity. In clause (15), the words "city, county, or any other" are omitted as surplus. In clause (17), the words "in addition to its meaning under section 1 of title 1 (except as to societies)" are substituted for "any individual, firm, joint venture, partnership, corporation, association . . . cooperative association, or joint stock association" to eliminate unnecessary words, for clarity, and for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the Code. Clauses (18) and (19) are added because of the restatement. In clause (20), the words "of the United States" are substituted for "of the several" for consistency in the revised title and with other titles of the Code. In clause (21)(B), the words "outside a populated area" are substituted for "which lie outside the limits of any incorporated or unincorporated city, town, village, or any other designated residential or commercial area such as a subdivision, a business or shopping center, a community development, or any similar populated area" to eliminate unnecessary words. In clause (22)(B)(i), the word "area" is substituted for "locations" for consistency.

When ever we go through a period of emotional stress, a time when our inner resources need to be called upon to give us the strength or insight to work our way through something, it's so important to allow ourselves the compassion and understanding that we so readily expect others to provide for us. We often seek out a good friend and confidant to validate our decisions when, if we truly gave that to ourselves, we wouldn't depend on others to give it to us. It's easy to get caught up in wondering why we haven't moved past an issue or why we are still struggling but those 'whys' become an avoidance and stumbling block if we aren't careful to see them for what they are. We can mistakenly believe that answering those questions will help us move forward but so often they become one more tool stemming from a place of self flagellation and not a rung on the ladder of successful healing. When we focus on the question 'why', we are no longer trusting in the process.
There is no handbook or clear cut process to success. Yes, there are steps that we know we must take, attitudes to develop but unless we embrace the process without comparing ourselves to others, we can get stuck in believing that we should be doing it 'this way' or 'that way' and as a result, our healing grinds to a halt.
For so many of us we believe that we are the master director, puppeteer, and script writer for every 'character' in our life. The truth is we are only in control of ourselves and even that is debatable. Letting go and acceptance mean we release the white knuckled grip that has us believing we're in charge. As difficult as it is, and yup it is, we trust that we are being watched over, cared for and that life is for us, not against us.
Trying to control any situation will ultimately backfire because we simply cannot do it. We try, well I know Ive tried and it never works. And then I try harder and it still doesn't work.
When we look at how things haven't worked in the past, we don't need to beat ourselves and stamp the 'failure' mark on our foreheads. Nothing we go through is worth regretting if we learn from it. The trouble is so often we run around inside of our head chasing our gremlin instead of quietly sitting with ourselves and gaining insight. Stop focusing on why and release the need to figure it all out. Learn from the pain, in the sense that it can awaken us to behaviours and issues that we need to face about ourselves lovingly. We haven't failed anything, especially when our experiences bring us closer to knowing what we do want in our life and where we need stronger boundaries. One of my issues of control is getting involved with someone romantically and then trying to hard to keep their love. I start thinking if I meet their needs, go along with what they want, never ask for what I want, that they'll just be so darn happy to have little miss agreeable by their side. it's deadly insidious and its a breeding ground for resentment and anger. I know now that giving up who I am inj hopes that I can become what I think you want me to be is toxic and ridiculous. I'm not referring to healthy compromise, I'm talking about "so who do you want me to be?" bullshit. Yuk and did I say YUK!
Who we are, what we like, what we do, whatever, cannot be adjusted to fit someone elses agenda. Yet we all do it to varying degrees and like I said, I'm not talking about normal give and take, I'm talking "so who do I have to be to please you?" No,stop it. We have to have the confidence to stay authentic. It's like dating someone who is unaffectionate and you know that but you
think 'well maybe they will become more affectionate when we are in a
committed relationship". Yes, you can ask them if you need some
affection but to hold onto a belief that they will change and become all touchy feely love love is only going
to cause resentment down the road. See, we meet someone who we fall for
because they fit our 'criteria' for the most part. In the places where
they fall short we erroneously believe we can get them to be that way if
we cajole and annoy them enough lol. We wear blinders. I for example where a lot of eye make up. I remember dating a guy who shortly into the relationship would comment about 'why did I need to wear so much make up? What? Ok that ex. is superficial but you get the point. If I wore it all the time when you first got to know me and you don't like girls who wear make up then what the fug are you doing with me? In the past tho I would have tried to not wear it or toned it down instead of giving that shit right back and saying "cuz I do and if you don't like it then go find someone who fits your image cuz it aint me. Those things may seem harmless but they aren't! I'm also an on/off smoker, okay ya it's not wonderful but it is what it is. If I quit because my partner thinks I shouldn't smoke then WRONG. If you came into the relationship knowing I smoked then deal or scram but don't bug me about it. If I quit because I want to but usually I quit to try and please them. I have jumped through flaming hoops for some men only to realize that it does not work. Ever. No more hoops. What you see is what you get, if you don't like it then you are free to move on. I will not change for anyone anymore because I am perfectly ME.
We are who we are and I don't mean that acting like an asshole is acceptable with the attitude "well thats just the way I am" Im not saying that at all, wehave to give and take but thats not the same as trying to please someone and cease being yourself which I have been notorious for. They love me for who I am and then I become someone else thinking they will love me for. If thats not stressful (acting/pretending) then what is.
Be yourself because you are the only person like you in the whole wide world. xoxo

Fall Out Boy has Fall Out Bird ... Linkin Park has the new "Guilty All the Same" interactive video/computer game...and now comes news that Avenged Sevenfold is looking to join the ranks of bands with proprietary video games.
Hail to the King: Deathbat is the working title of the new game, which already has its own Facebook page . The latest issue of Game Informer magazine calls it a "rock-infused dungeon crawler" that resembles "a descendant of Diablo ." According to A7X frontman M.Shadows , the game will be for mobile devices -- he wanted a full-fledged console game but was informed that the price tag of the elaborate game of his fantasies was roughly $200 million.
There isn't yet a release date for Hail to the King: Deathbat , but a source close to the band tells ABC News Radio that "it won't be long."
In other Avenged Sevenfold news, the band will release a DVD later this year -- it will include footage from their March 24 Mexico City show.

Spring Appetizer Recipe: Goat Cheese Rapini Toasts
Recipes from The Kitchn
A successful appetizer is one that keeps people nervously eying their neighbors to make sure they won't finish the entire plate. With the winning combination of bright lemon, mild goat cheese, crispy toasts, and slightly bitter greens, this is one such appetizer.
We made these toasts for our housewarming party last month. I'd planned on slicing up bread and setting it out with cheeses and meats, but my partner grabbed a bunch of rapini we had in the refrigerator and started sauteéing it up, chatting on and on about his great rapini toasts. So here we are.
The nice thing about this recipe is how easy it is. It's as simple as quickly blanching the rapini to take away a little of its natural bitterness, then sautéing it in good olive oil with salt and chili flakes and a little lemon. Spread a creamy goat cheese and lay the greens on top of a toasted baguette, and sprinkle with salt. Easy, delicious, and slightly unexpected.
We actually never had a chance to even lay these out on the table; Sam was toasting the bread on the stove-top and layering the toppings while standing at the stove, and guests were eating them right there. Soon, a gathering had formed in the kitchen. People were waiting for more rapini toasts. I think you'll find the same thing happening at your next party.
Goat Cheese Rapini Toasts
1 bunch rapini (about 1 pound)
4 ounces goat cheese, softened
1 tablespoons lemon zest
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
15 (1/3-inch) slices cut from a crusty baguette
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3⁄4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, to finish
Sprinkle thick-flake salt (like Maldon), to finish
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Trim the rapini, removing the tough stems and stalks. (You can chop these up finely and save them for a stir-fry or slaw later in the week if you like.) Roughly chop the bunch of rapini.
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add the rapini. Blanch in boiling water for 2 minutes and then remove from stove and drain well. Allow to cool completely, about 15 minutes. Once cool, squeeze any remaining liquid from the rapini with your hands and set out on a dry plate.
In a small separate bowl, make the goat cheese spread by mixing together the goat cheese, lemon zest, salt and basil until combined. Meanwhile, arrange the baguette slices on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush each side with olive oil and bake until toasty, 10 to 12 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and red chili flakes and sauté until garlic is slightly golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add rapini and salt, and cook about 5 minutes, until tender. Finish with lemon juice.
To assemble: Spread 1 teaspoon goat cheese onto one piece of toast. Add a heaping tablespoon of warm rapini. Repeat with remaining slices. Drizzle olive oil over the toasts and sprinkle with finishing salt. Serve warm.

You should try cooking the rapini Harold McGee style: after you wash and shop it just throw it into a frying pan, no water or oil, just the vegetable. Stir as it heats up, the vegetable has enough water in it on its own. No need to squeeze excess water at the end of cooking, no extra calories. I toss it w/a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar when it's done. This way of cooking vegetables also works really well w/any leafy greens and also really well with mushrooms.
Wow, @skysky: I had no idea! Thanks for the tip.

I've worked as a dishwasher, a toilet scrubber, a Wal-Mart greeter, a cashier, a modular home plant temp, a warehouse pick and packer, a forklift operator, a teaching assistant, a giant bumblebee mascot and a few other gigs that were NOT fulfilling in any way.
I've felt lost, directionless, and yes, hopeless.
I've felt like everyone else was living the high life while I was just getting by.
If that's where you're at today, I need to tell you something.
You've got what it takes to succeed. You just have to tap into it. Are you sad that you're not "Keeping up with the Joneses?" Hey, screw the Joneses. They're probably either neck deep in credit card/mortage/car payment debt or they went through what you're going through right now a few years back. Don't worry about them. Worry about you.
Again, you've got what it takes to succeed. You just have to tap into it. Everyone has a different mode of access. I'm sorry, but I don't know what yours is. I know how you can find it. Talk to a tech school or University. Talk to a social worker. Talk to a pastor. Talk to a servant, not a salesperson with a magic pill. You have more options than you think when it comes to work, education, and getting where you want to be. Explore them.
Friends telling you that "You can't make it"? Screw 'em. They're not your friends. They just want another slug to hang out with so they don't have to feel so bad about their own sorry state.
Make this the LAST Friday you wish you had done something else all week. It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is. It will probably take a few years, but better to be where you want to be instead of where you are right now in a few years. You can do it.
Be Cool,

Well, that's it, everyone. What a crushing win for Australia. RC signing off here at Blog Central. Thanks for all your company, comments and great banter, been a lot of fun! Make you sure you join us in Sydney next Thursday for the opening day of the third Test and we'll do it all again!
Beaten skipper Jayawardene philosophical about this crushing defeat. First problem will be finding fit enough players to actually field a team in Sydney! Australian skipper Clarke pretty satisfied with this effort, and understandably. The bowling was very sharp, the batting solid, the fielding and catching good.
Just the formalities remain here, the man of the match about to be awarded. And not surprisingly, it goes to Mitch Johnson, who had one of those games. Match figures with the ball of 22 overs, 2 maidens, six for 79, and a superb unbeaten 92 with the bat, including seven boundaries. Consistency has been his issue, but looked a lot steadier this match. Let's hope he can build on it in Sydney.
WHAT HAPPENED: While Australia was always going to win comfortably after day one, few could have predicted the game would be over halfway through day three! Australia added just 20 more runs in the morning, Lyon and Bird falling cheaply, Johnson stranded on an unbeaten 92. Sri Lanka couldn't have started the rearguard action any worse, Karunaratne run out from the third ball of the innings, Dilshan out from the fourth. From there it was steady procession of wickets and injuries for the visitors, Sangakkara retiring hurt, neither he, P Jayawardene nor Welegedara being sent out again to face the music.
WHAT IT MEANS: In the short term, a great confidence builder for new boy Bird, who bowled beautifully for two wickets in either innings, and for the revitalised Johnson. In the longer term, given the gap between these teams, the question over Australia's capacity for back-to-back Ashes series remains. And fresh doubts about all-rounder Watson's durability. The much-criticised rotation policy has at the very least thrown up a range of quality bowlers, though. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, would want to forget all about these nightmare few days, and has to regroup in a hurry for the third Test in Sydney.

WICKET! And Siddle finishes it off! Digs one in, Herath can only fend it off to Cowan at bat-pad. And with three blokes stuck in the medical room, Sri Lanka doesn't bother with unecessary heroics. Australia wins the series 2-0 ... don't think anyone expected it over this quickly even this morning. Incredible!

WICKET! Prasad goes for a third six in a row, doesn't get to the pitch and hits it straight up into the air at cover, Warner having no trouble clutching the spoils! Couldn't blame Prasad, really, might as well go down swinging! That will be drinks, too. Wonder why they'd bother, really, will have hours for them in a few minutes!
Six! And another six! Sri Lanka hits back, sort of, Prasad depositing Lyon over the fence two balls in a row!
Lyon's coming on for for a spell now. Hasn't had a lot to do ... sort of a de facto net session now, really!
Herath the new man in. Sri Lanka aren't going to bother sending out the injured Sangakkara, Jayawardene or Welegedara it seems, so visitors effectively 8-for. Has a side been this comprehensively smashed both on the scoreboard and in the medical room before?!
WICKET! Johnson gets another! Was short and wide, Mathews tried to pull it from outside off and succeeds only in dragging the ball on to his stumps. Getting embarrassing now, SL 5/74!

Now Prasad cops a smack on the left hand from Johnson ... more pain, out come the medical staff again ... absolute carnage out there ... what a pity Tony Grieg isn't in the commentary box just so we can hear him say 'carnage'!
Prasad avoids the pair! Hardly convincing though, pulls a short one from Bird very uppishly to mid-wicket. Then another close shave, Bird once more finds the outside edge of Mathews' bat again, just wide of second slip ... that's where Hughes was last over, but sadly for the bowler, not now! SL 4/73.
More drama! Sangakkara cops a nasty crack on the left index finger from Johnson, swelling up like a balloon, looks broken. He's going straight off for treatment, unbeaten on 27 but you'd have to think he's in doubt for Sydney ... Prasad to the crease in place of Jayawardene, who also has a broken joint!
Another close shave! Bird finds the edge of Mathews' bat again, just wide of Watson at gully for four, Clarke sending Hughes into a wide third slip as a result. Watson grabbed his dodgy hamstring after that dive, too. Nice answer from Mathews, another boundary. SL 4/61.
It's going to be Johnson from the other end to Mathews, pushes a single, Sangakkara on strike. Last recognised pair in, keeper Jayawardene has a broken thumb, and Welegedara a torn hamstring ... talk about down and out!
And we're off again. It's going to be Mathews on strike, Jackson Bird to take the ball from the Southern Stand end. Been a very impressive debut from the big man, currently with figures of 2/10. Batsman clips him off the pads for a couple to start. Then a chance! Mathews slashed at one outside off, thick edge flies to Watson at gully, goes with the right hand and grasses it! SL 4/43.
Almost ready to go again here. For just how long we'll be going is the obvious question. You suspect the Aussies are quietly planning a couple of days of golf for the weekend having cut a swathe through the Sri Lankan top order. This whole Test has been a nightmare for the visitors, underlined by today's run out of Karunaratne from the third ball of the innings. Blue skies above, that early drizzle cleared quickly. Will there be a third session today?
LUNCH SCORE: Sri Lanka 4/43 (Sangakkara 22*, Mathews 17*)
And that's lunch! Feels like we've only gone half an hour so much has happened. Absolute carnage at the top of the SL order after Australia's last two wickets fell quickly. Six wickets have fallen today for 63. SL needs another 261 to make Aussies bat again. Is this game going to last until tea today? Join us back here in 30-odd minutes to find out.
Still all happening! Lovely drive from Mathews for four, edges Siddle between second and third slips, then pushes a sharp single and just beats Warner's throw! This is looking like a T20 game! SL 4/43.
Johnson coming back from the Southern Stand end, replacing Bird. The Tasmanian has 2/10 from his five overs!
A few more near misses, going on, the latest Mathews getting a big inside edge to Bird, only just shoots past leg stump. Now he gets the outside edge, along the ground to Watson in slips. Can't take your eyes away for a moment right now! SL 4/29.
Good stat from our man Jesse Hogan and a nice vote of confidence for the umpiring ... 10 of Nigel Llong's LBW decisions have been challenged so far in this series: 7 of 10 have backed his call. SL 4/21, Sangakkara has 14 of them.
Local hero Siddle is on to replace Johnson while there's still some wickets left to take! Just three overs for Mitch ... guess you've got to share the spoils! Johnson has 1/5 from his three overs, big Bird has 2/7 from three!
WICKET! It's four down now! Bird traps Samaraweera in front, huge shout for LBW and up goes the finger! Sri Lanka will challenge out of sheer desperation, but it looks plumb at first glance ... hotspot is all clear, hawkeye shows it will hit leg, and he's gone! SL are 4/13 ... oh dear!

A boundary! In the midst of the carnage, Sangakkara doubles his team's score with a four from Bird ... SL into double figures now, the fightback is on! SL 3/10.
WICKET! Bird gets in on the act! Skipper Jayawardene is bowled, went to take his bat away after a bit of hesitance and it clips the inside edge and smacks into off stump. Sri Lanka 3/3! ... What's going on?! Will this game last till tea on the third day?

It's all happening, says Bill Lawry .. and it sure is! Sangakkara and skipper Jayawardene at the crease in the first over. SL 2/1! It's going to be big Bird from the Southern Stand end, with the visitors in disarray!
WICKET! First ball! Australia on a team hat-trick! Dilshan fends off a short one on to the thigh pad, pops up to Cowan at short leg, and Sri Lanka is 2/1 from four deliveries!
WICKET! That's ridiculous! Karunaratne is run out! He pushes into the covers for a single, somehow tries to turn it into a two, turns back mid-pitch, the ball swiftly back to the bowler by Warner, and Johnson lunges and breaks the stumps with batsman well short of his ground! Run out from the third ball of the innings? You have to be kidding!
Almost ready to start again here. The Australian lead ends up 304, and a new cherry and overcast skies might give the Australian attack a little encouragement to begin. And it's going to be man of the moment Johnson to fire up first from the members end. It's Karunaratne on strike. Let's go again!
Real shame for Mitch, was looking great again this morning. He knows what it's like to be left in the 90s already, too, happened to him in South Africa in 2009, still just the one Test ton for him, in that same series. Really has to be just about regarded as an all-rounder with efforts like that, his 92 was from 150 balls with seven boundaries.
WICKET! And Johnson is stranded! Bird is clean bowled by a lovely ball from Eranga, full-pitched, beat him for pace and went right through his defences, gets a duck on debut. Australia all out for 460, with a lead of 304.

Eranga on to replace Prasad, who might switch ends. Johnson spanks him down the ground, looks for two, Bird's struggling, and ball hit stumps, and there's a run out appeal. All good, though, he's home safely. Johnson on strike, on 91.
What a cracking shot from Johnson! Straight down the ground to Mathews, almost takes out the umpire! Ball smacks into the fence, that takes him to 88, think he knows he's got to get there soon or not at all! Bird survives the end of the over, Johnson on 89 gets his chance again! And the lead ticks past 300 ...
The big Tasmanian gets a couple of short ones from Prasad to say 'hello', ducks under them without any problems, next one does, though. Will be desperate not to let his fellow quick down and get him to three figures! Aus. 9/452.
WICKET! Lyon's gone, boy that was a bit insipid! Mathews pitches short, Lyon attempts to pull and instead just paddles a dolly of a catch straight to a close mid-wicket. It's up to new boy Bird to help steer Johnson through to that 100 now!

Prasad coming from the members end, coming around the wicket to the left-hander. Johnson has just flowed on from his form last night, boy he's hitting the ball well, on to 79, Aus. 8/447 with a lead now of 291.
Johnson off the mark straight away, clips it off his pads for two. Next ball he belts through covers for a three. Confident start! Now it's Lyon's turn.
We're underway! It's going to be Mathews opening up from the Southern Stand end, with Mitch Johnson on strike on 73 not out, looking for what would be a sensational 100! Let's play, gentlemen!
Good news! The rain has stopped, the covers are coming off right now and we're likely to start play in about 15 minutes or so. Stick with us, we're going to see action sooner than later!
Covers are still on I'm afraid, the drizzle still hanging around. Nothing too heavy, though, we're not going to start on time but hopefully it's not too far away!
Weather here isn't terrific, we're going for a top of just 22 degrees with a light morning shower or two. Indeed, there's one right now, the covers still on the centre wicket area. Shouldn't be a huge delay, but we might lose just a little bit of time at the start.
This really has been a summer of injuries, and if you're Shane Watson, a career of them. The all-rounder looks to have bitten the dust again, straining his troublesome calf whilst bowling on day one. Makes his effort with the bat look better still, but the bottom line is he won't bowl again in this game and appears certain to miss the third Test in Sydney, Usman Khawaja the likely replacement.
Good morning everyone, RC here at Blog Central to take you through all the action at the MCG on day three, Australia completely on top with a near-300 lead on the first innings already and looking for more runs this morning. Can Mitch Johnson get his ton, can Sri Lanka find something from the wreckage? Let's find out!
WHAT HAPPENED: Clarke and Watson came out determined to build Australia's lead and did just that in steady if unspectacular fashion, adding nearly 200. Once more, the Aussies then lost a spate of wickets, but the lower order did more than its bit, the seventh and eighth wickets both adding 50-plus, Johnson looking set for another Test ton with a fine and responsible innings. Sri Lanka stuck to its guns despite losing Welegedera early, but again didn't have enough penetration to bust through the batting order, Australia with a lead of 284.
WHAT IT MEANS: Only one result possible now, surely, with three full days left for the home side to dismiss Sri Lanka a second time. The track offers little for the bowlers, but the visitors don't appear to have the requisite patience or discipline to stave off the bowlers. A clear gap in class between these teams is becoming more apparent, Australia in complete control without necessarily playing to its full potential, the question remaining can they produce the goods against the very best opposition.

LIVERPOOL TWP., Ohio - The strong storms that blew through Columbiana County Tuesday afternoon brought down plenty of large trees. Some of those trees made their way on to Route 11, making traffic come to a near standstill for a short time just north of East Liverpool.
One woman was hospitalized after a tree fell on her truck. Ohio State Highway Patrol officials confirmed that 54-years-old Kelly Meadows was struck by a tree while traveling on SR 30 and sent to the East Liverpool Hospital. Her condition is unknown at this time.
Closer to town, there were numerous road closures including a dangerous situation on Park Way. Not far from the entrance of Thompson Park, the only thing stopping a large tree from blocking the road was a power line and another tree holding it up.
"We had some decent hail to begin with. Then the wind and rain really picked up, and here we are now." said Thompson Park Superintendent J.C. Blackhurst.
But it's the damage that rained down on Liverpool Township and the Village of Dixonville that has some convinced a tornado touched down here. Cheval Avenue was left with no electric service and landscaped by uprooted trees.
Dixonville resident Jay Mattern told 21 News that the warning siren sounded after what he believes was a tornado touched down in his families back yard. "We were standing in the kitchen fixing dinner. I looked out the window and I says to the wife, 'look at that tree. It's spinning!' And my daughter came in and said there's a tornado. They ran down in the basement. Got em downstairs. I looked out the window. The trees started spinning and they all just started falling down." said Mattern
Rayna Allison of Dixonville became emotional when she talked about trying to get her 5-year-old daughter Charlie to safety. She told 21 news, "I saw the trees leaning, grabbed her and took off that way. It was scary."
The powerful storm scared the daylights out of Dixonville resident Faye Davis. She says the sun was shining one minute, and a tree was coming through her roof the next. "I screamed and then about 3 minutes later I heard this other crash and saw that the trees had fallen into my house." said Davis.
Road crews have already started helping this community pick up the pieces. The National Weather Service is expected to make a visit to determine whether it was a strong storm, micro burst or a tornado that swept through the area.

If you are looking for a full size bed frame this is NOT the frame for you. This platform bed, although described as a full is actually a full/queen which means it fits a queen perfectly and a full size mattress sloppily and this we did not discover until it was fully assembled. I'm so disappointed because I specifically purchased a full size mattress and bunky board prior to receiving the bed frame and now there is a two inch gap between the mattress and frame on all four sides. And because the platform is only 13 inches off the ground, it is impossible to find a bed skirt to fit it. They are all too long. So it makes hiding the gap a big problem. Sigh. This bed had so much promice but it did not deliver.
This bed was abosolutely fantastic! I put it together last night with the help of my husband... We started putting it together upside down (Oops :)) but the disassembly was easy and putting it together correctly was a snap! All together with the initial disassembly and reassembly it took us about an hour total. The directions were easy to read and the whole bed came in one box. This bed is made of hardwood and the color was terrific. The bed is super sturdy and even though it is low to the ground, I'm still able to utilize a bit of the underbed space so I'm extremely pleased by that as well. I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and I would do it again, hands down, no questions asked. I had to speak with a customer representative about an issue I had with checking out and she immediately resolved the issue for me. I am so pleased with this company! This was my first time buying from them so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was totally amazed by how fast the order shipped too!! Ordered it on a Thursday and my order was at my door on a Saturday! I was so pleased. I would totally reccomend this bed and this company to anyone who asked :)
I bought this bed for my teenage son (16 yo). I needed to get him a bed that would hold his size (200+lbs and still growing). Was very happy with the quality and the color (walnut). Putting this bed together was no problem (make sure your drill is charged-lots of screws). We only needed to get a top mattress since this is a platform bed, so that saves a little money for you. The height of the bed was good too, my son can still put his containers under his bed. The only thing with the frame is there is a small space between the mattress, but you can't see it when the bedding is in place. Still felt this bed desires 5 stars. The best thing is that my son loves his new bed! Hope this info helps with your decision.
A good sturdy bed although it may be a little pricy from my point of view. But, I'm an old dude and maybe that's why. It goes really well with my new memory foam mattress as I don't have to use box springs and it keeps my mattress nice and flat, like I like it, not all saggy like the box springs. Now I can enjoy a good night's sleep without waking up in the middle of the night wrenching in back pain or in the morning. I feel much better with this combination and should have done it long ago , had I known. Overstock is my favorite on line store and I will continue to purchase their quality products.
My 14 year old son picked out this bed. It was just what he wanted. The price was fair, and it arrived a week after placing the order. As soon as the bed arrived, my son wanted to start putting it together. I told him to wait until his father got home so he could help him. Then, I had to leave the house for about an hour. When I returned, my son was just about done putting the whole thing together. He used a power drill and had no problem with holes lining up or with deciphering the diagram that showed how to put the bed together.He is a bright and talented kid, but still I was impressed that he could manage all the pieces singlehandedly! Everything was well packed in bubble wrap, all the parts were there and nothing was scratched. When we placed the new mattress on it, I was a bit concerned because there seemed to be too much extra space surrounding the mattress. Once the mattress pad, sheets, blankets and comforter were on, however, that extra space was no longer there. The bed looks great. My only complaint is that I hit the edge of the bed with my knee everytime I drop laundry off in my son's room. (Someday I'll learn.) My son loves his new bed.
The bed is just what I expected. Overall look and color was on par with what I was looking for. It was also simple to put together. I did it by myself and it took roughly an hour. Having a power screwdriver also made it faster to put together.
Just like another reviewer, my full-size mattress doesn't fill the the frame closely. There's about a three inch gap on either side of the longer sides and about two inches on the shorter. That's not enough room for a queen mattress, however, so they aren't interchangeable. But, I read that review before ordering and decided it didn't matter to me. Overall, very happy with purchase. I'm only rating quality as "Good" because only time will tell.
Purchased this for my son who took his bedroom set to college, but needed something simple for when he comes home to visit. The parcel arrived and the screw holes were not accurately aligned. In addition, the nuts that came with the bolts were the wrong thread matching. My local hardware store re-matched everything to size (at an additional cost) could not find match (as they were not standard). The bed has had very little use from the time of my purchase in October till the end of the school year. So two months and it is completely broken and did not hold up now I need to take to the curb for trash pick up. This is my first and only bad experience with any purchase on overstock.
Picture was deceptive, thought it had a headboard. It did not. The picture gave the impression there was a headboard. Bought it for son's college apartment.
Easy to assemble and looks good. Would purchase again.
