Slip and Fall Accidents Can Be More Frequent with Certain Cleaners
Common sense tells us that a floor that is wet is more slippery. However, not many realize that a floor that has been cleaned with a floor cleaner may be more or less slippery than an unclean surface, even after it dries.
The National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) is a not-for-profit organization whose stated mission is to prevent slips, trips, and falls through education, research, and development. NFSI also retains a database of slip and fall accidents collected from government, industry, and insurance-related sources. Their research revealed that more than 50 percent of slip and fall accidents are caused by the condition of the flooring. The other half are caused by a combination of footwear, poor hazard identification, improper training, and fraud.
One of the NFSI studies investigated whether the type of floor cleaner used on a floor had any effect on a floor's slipperiness, more formally known as its coefficient of friction. A floor with a higher coefficient of friction is less slippery than one that has a lower coefficient of friction. NFSI tested 19 popular household cleaners and determined their effect on the coefficient of friction, or, in other words, slip resistance of a floor. Cleaners were purchased from local supermarkets, mixed according to manufacturer's instructions, and applied to residential-grade vinyl floors. The results showed that a cleaner could either increase or decrease a floor's slip resistance, sometimes drastically.
Several cleaners had little effect after one application. Brite® One-Floor Cleaner, Clorox® Ready Mop, Mop & Glo® Floor Cleaner, Pine Sol®, Pledge® Grab It™ Wet Floor Wipes, and Pledge® Orange Wood Floor Cleaner actually increased slip resistance by one percent. Murphy Oil Soap® Wood Floor Cleaner, Murphy Oil Soap® Squirt & Mop, and Clorox®Wet Floor Wipes had no effect. Armstrong® Floor Cleaner decreased slip resistance by one percent, while Parsons® Lemon Ammonia All Purpose Cleaner and X-tra® Pine decreased slip resistance by two percent and five percent respectively.
Several cleaners substantially decreased the slip resistance of a vinyl floor:
- Spic and Span® - 12 percent
- Clorox Clean Up® - 14 percent
- Swiffer Wet™ Disposable Cloths - 25 percent
- Lysol® Wet Floor Cloths - 25 percent
- Mr. Clean® Ultimate Orange Cleaner - 27 percent
- Lysol® One Step™ Floor Cleaner - 36 percent
- Lysol® All Purpose Cleaner - 43 percent
If you are concerned about having a slippery floor in your house, this research is something to keep in mind. If you are injured anywhere due to falling on a slippery floor, contact a competent attorney to protect your rights.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Coming off a pair of losses to top-5 teams, No. 20 Washington faces another difficult test on the road against Arizona State on Saturday.
The Huskies have had losing streaks of at least three games in each of coach Steve Sarkisian's first four seasons and are hoping to avoid another after losses to Oregon and Stanford.
Sarkisian said this year's team seems to be mentally tougher, but they will face a tough challenge against Arizona State.
The Sun Devils have the same overall record at 4-2, but are 2-1 in conference while the Huskies are 1-2. Arizona State also has won seven straight games over Washington, dating to 2001.

Berlusconi is accused of paying Karima el-Mahroug for sex during his notorious "bunga bunga" parties, and using his office to cover it up. Both deny the accusations.
ROME — The Moroccan woman at the center of ex-Premier Silvio Berlusconi's pay-for-sex trial has turned up in Mexico after missing a court date and becoming entangled in Italy's latest political drama.
News agency ANSA reported Tuesday that Karima el-Mahroug, known as Ruby, notified her attorney of her whereabouts after reading that her absence Monday had sparked a minor uproar in court. Attorney Paola Boccardi informed the court that Ruby wasn't expected back until next month.
Berlusconi is accused of paying el-Mahroug, then 17, for sex during his notorious "bunga bunga" parties, and using his office to cover it up. Both deny the accusations.
Prosecutor Ilda Boccassini accused Berlusconi's defense of keeping el-Mahroug away to delay a verdict until after February elections, in which Berlusconi is running. Berlusconi's attorney denied the accusation.
The 76-year-old billionaire said last week he would seek re-election after his party abruptly withdrew support from Prime Minister Mario Monti's government, prompting Monti to announce he would resign early.
Berlusconi is charged with paying for sex with el-Mahroug at parties thrown in his lavish villas when she was under 18, which is the minimum legal age for prostitution in Italy.
The trial, in which dozens of aspiring showgirls have described parties at Berlusconi's residences, is the most sensational of his legal cases and has been getting huge media attention in Italy and abroad.
Berlusconi denies all charges and el-Mahroug, who is now 20, has said she never had sex with him.
The center-right leader is also accused of abusing his powers when he was still prime minister to have el-Mahroug released from police custody when she was briefly held over theft allegations.
An aide told the trial Berlusconi mistakenly thought el-Mahroug was the granddaughter of Hosni Mubarak and he believed he was doing the former Egyptian dictator a favor.

William Tyndale's calling is to right a great wrong. Church and government authorities have made it illegal to read, write or even speak the sacred Scriptures in English. The most important book ever written is being kept from all but the most educated and powerful people of the day. Sensing that God's Word is for all people, William defies the authorities and begins the difficult and dangerous work of translating the Old and New Testaments.
This episode of Torchlighters follows William's adventures as he works in secret to complete his task. Friends and allies will help him along, but enemies may be lurking behind any corner. Children will be challenged by the story of how William risks his life to bring God's word to England. When they see the sacrifice William is willing to make so that others may read the Bible, their appreciation for the Scriptures will increase.

Bit of an odd one that I hoped the brains on here might be able to help with.
I've got a program that maps drives, depending the the username entered, home drives, shared areas depending on staff or pupil etc.
It works, apart from the Home drive part. If the bat file tries to map the home drive I get System Error 55. If I manually type in the same command into a cmd window it works fine.
I've used a bunch of net use d: /delete and all that before It starts.
Anyone shed some light on where I might have gone wrong?

Sarteano Farmhouse Rental Photos and Description
Situated in one of the most idyllic part of Tuscany and hidden among secular holm-oaks, pines, vineyards, olive groves, ponds and creeks, Palazzo Sarteano, an historical farm of 220 hectars, has that special charm of Etruscan sites.
At guests' disposal:
There are 7 different independent accommodation on the Farm. Six of them are within walking distance, which makes it the parfect place to be rented by a group (wedding, small meeting etc..) and still have a big privacy.
The Castle sleeps 12;
Elisabetta sleeps 10;
Bernardo sleeps 10;
Bachiarro sleeps 4/6;
Sant'Elena sleeps 3/5;
Bernardino sleeps 2/3;
San Pietro (more isolated and not published) sleeps 6/8.
The Castle has a private above the ground swimming pool. ( open from first of June to end of September)
Shared pool 10X20 mt, depth 1.5 open from first of June to end of September, for the guests of the apartments Elisabetta, Bernardo, Bachiarro, Sant'Elena, Bernardino.( the pool is 200 mts far from the apartments)
At the end of an oak-lined drive stands the large medieval residence with its elegant loggia and bell tower, its chapel painted with frescoes from the 16th century and its lovely inner courtyard.
Baby bed available free of charge.
Wi-Fi internet connection available free of charge in the pool's area.
The farm is located close to Sarteano (6 Km), to Chianciano (4 Km), famous for their thermal waters, and to Chiusi (about 10 km, train station), rich in fascinating archaeological sites and near the border line between Umbria and Toscana. This area offers not only healthy vacations and a variety of outdoor activities, but is also an interesting departure point for learning about culture and traditions of this region.
The property is only 4 Km from the Highway A1, making it a centre for major sightseeing. Florence, Perugia and Assisi are all very accessible, Gubbio and Orvieto less than one hour drive away. Rome can be reached both by train from Chiusi, or with two hours drive.
The Valdichiana is an excellent holiday base, opening up both the Siena region and the Umbria region around Lake Trasimeno. This was one of the most important domains of Etruscans; the town of Chiusi was a point of exchange before Rome was founded. Any nook of the countryside can hide a treasure: a little church with an unknown artistic work or an ancient memory of a battle. The nature, makes this zone very various and unique.
Train station at 10 km - Chiusi well connected to Roma, Florence, Siena, Perugia, etc..
Bus stop at 1 km and a half on top of the road that leads to the Farm, takes to Chiusi or Chianciano.

Hey Gamers, we have some great news for you!
As you might know, Parallels Desktop for Mac 8 includes experimental support for DirectX 10, Windows functionality that is related to game programming.
We wanted to share with you some of the PC games we have tested and which we believe have acceptable playability and frames-per-second (FPS), a common measure of game performance.
Here is the list of tested DirectX 10 and DirectX 9 games:
Anno 2070
Assassin Creed III
Battlefield 3
Bioshock 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Civilization V
Dirt Showdown
F1 Race Stars
Formula 1 2012
Hitman: Absolution
Need For Speed: The Run
Sleeping Dogs
Snipper Elite V2
NOTE: As with a hardware PC, the Mac hardware you are using will have a significant effect on game performance. Video games require both a powerful processor and a very capable, modern video card. We did our testing and performance tuning on the high end Mac models, so you will get the best performance on the latest iMac and the MacPro with an ATI video card. Don't expect recent games to perform very well on a MacBook from several years ago.
We also recommend that the Windows virtual machine you use to play these games be configured for 2 CPUs, and at least 2GB of RAM. Note, however, that assigning too much RAM to a virtual machine can actually slow down performance, since the Mac itself may not have access to sufficient RAM. And, of course, be sure that you are using the latest version of Parallels Desktop for Mac 8.
If you havent found your game in the list above, it does not mean it wont work in your virtual machine. Please share your experiences here in the Forum for our team and other players.

Susan G. Komen® and WWE® "Make Mom Proud"
Release provided courtesy of WWE
STAMFORD, Conn. – May 6, 2013 –
Susan G. Komen and WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced an awareness campaign, "Make Mom Proud," to support the fight against breast cancer. The TV and digital campaign, which coincides with Mother's Day, calls on supporters to do something meaningful for their moms and the other important women in their lives.
As part of the campaign, WWE will urge fans to support moms by taking steps to educate themselves about the disease, participate in local Susan G. Komen Races in their communities, and donate to Komen, the world's largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer research and community outreach programs. The campaign will be promoted through all of WWE's assets, including TV broadcasts, live events, digital and social media.
"WWE fans are making a tremendous contribution to our mission to help women with breast cancer by supporting our community breast cancer programs for uninsured and underserved women, and through our global breast cancer research," said Nancy Brinker, founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen. "We're so grateful for the support of the WWE community in our mission to end suffering from this disease."
"WWE is dedicated to supporting Susan G. Komen and their fight to eradicate breast cancer," said Paul "Triple H®" Levesque, Executive Vice President, Talent and Live Events, WWE. "Susan G. Komen is at the forefront of breast cancer research and community outreach programs, and I'm proud that the WWE Universe supporting such an important cause."
Throughout the month, WWE Superstar Triple H and Divas Alicia Fox and Layla will be featured in a series of public service announcements to generate awareness and encourage fans to get involved. Alicia Fox and Layla will also attend the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure and its surrounding events on Mother's Day weekend in Washington, D.C., an area that has among the highest breast cancer mortality rates in the country.
Susan G. Komen and WWE have a history of success in raising awareness for the fight against breast cancer. In September 2012, WWE and Superstar John Cena partnered with Susan G. Komen to launch the "Rise Above Cancer" campaign. Cena wore co-branded, pink and black ring gear that fans were able to purchase throughout October, raising $1 million to support Susan G. Komen's mission to eradicate breast cancer and save women's lives.

EVENT LISTING DESCRIPTION SOON TO NOTABLY IMPROVE ATHLETICALLY IN ~2 months, & remarkably with 0 loss in any other areas (as completeness, plus easy maintenance, and even sharing event series' history), thanks to some event listing software I'm coding.
*That Girl rightfully brought up that the present event listings have too much info in them for the first pass so are hard to read, where one just doesn't read them. Ramjet concurred.
*That Girl also suspected this was keeping people away from meetings.
*While they of course saw our listings as notably different than their other groups (they are!), they both admitted they hadn't themselves created regularly repeating event listings before so may not know all the aspects involved (such as being complete but also maintaining the repeat copies).

Nontarget Trapping Incident Report
Reported: Oct 23, 2005
Species: Dog
Victim's Disposition: dead
Legal Action: unknown
Summary: While walking with caregiver and another dog 20 feet off a trail and on private propery, Lizzy went to sniff something at a den hole. Her head was immediately caught in the trap. In spite of valiant effors, she died in the man's arms. He carried her home and cut the trap in order to remove it. While returning the trap with a note attached with contact info, he encountered the trap owner, who became very beligerant and said: "I don't give a f--- about your dog." Lizzy's caregivers believe the trap was set illegally by a den hole, untagged and an illegal trap by PA game commission regs.

@Prof_Clayton Who uses debug teams when you can just use the player base and patch it later?
I don't really see the problem of having it on iPhone. Of course, that's because I own an iPhone, but I own a 3DS too.
@NintendoFan64 Spaceships and nanobots.
Wallet! Nooooo! Oh, wait, you were empty anyway.
The name "Earthbound 4" will cause some copyright troubles. Take off the number, add a subtitle and putting up a disclaimer saying it's just a fan game might help them avoid that.
Samurai is easily one of the most talented people in the gaming industry.
@Blue_Dread Enjoy your demo, I'll just enjoy my actual, complete games.
The sooner this is released the sooner the sonic fans can complain.
Does the Smash Bros. Demo have a limited number of uses?
@SilentHunter382 You should post that image.
"I [...] pick on the local wildlife"
Well now PETA will be after you!
The 3DS version has online this time (iirc) so I'm not against a Wii U version like I was last time.
I'm a fan if the show, and for that reason I'll probably avoid this game. It'd be nice if it were good, but licensed games rarely are.
I only ever read an abridged kids version of Sherlock Holmes, but wasn't Watson supposed to be a male and own a gun for when it was dangerous?
"There's no conspiracy here"
I still refuse to take my tinfoil hat off.
First I make a Facebook account for giveaways, then I make a Twitter account for giveaways, and now they want me to make an Instagram account. I quit. Better odds for you guys.
@Dogpigfish No. Please, please, no.
@aaronmclaren The DSi had exclusive games that had to be purchased through the eShop.
6k yen is only $53 dollars. At that price I'll take four.
EDIT: Dang NLife, I was really confused there for a second haha.
There aren't and 3DS games I want, so with a little luck this'll turn that around. After a Wii U focused E3 this is a nice change.
Still on the fence over whether it's real or not. Nintendo didn't deny it, and they probably would if it was faked.
@XCWarrior You can purchase the code from GameStop online too. Often times sites like Amazon will have the download for cheaper than the store for the console. I can save $10 by purchasing "Dragonborn" for PS3 from Amazon instead of PSN. (Or I could. It was on sale a few weeks ago)
Theatrhythm's Music Player made me facepalm when the song turned off when it was put into sleep mode.
Super Mario Galaxy 2. Most of the older ones feel too dated to compare to modern entries.
@DiscoGentleman Opinions can be uninformed, biased, etc. but they cannot be "wrong".
@XCWarrior I don't think Gamestop really cares, because they can sell the digital download codes.
@Hyperstar96 Well that escalated quickly. Since you haven't read the EULA that you sign when you buy your Nintendo 3DS, I'll quote it:
"You may not publish, copy, modify, reverse engineer, lease, rent, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Software, or bypass, modify, defeat, tamper with, or circumvent any of the functions or protections of your Nintendo 3DS, unless otherwise permitted by law... After your Nintendo 3DS System is updated or changed, any existing or future unauthorized modification of the hardware or software of your Nintendo 3DS System, or the use of an unauthorized device in connection with your Nintendo 3DS System, will render the system permanently unplayable."
Maybe before you go around insulting others, you should get your facts straight.
I'm too afraid that Nintendo will brick my system.
If this came out in NA, I might actually buy a Wii U.
The reputation of Nintendo is at stake here Reggie.
Do I have to be nominated to accept the Ice Bucket challenge? I want to take it, but no one has challenged me
@MeddlingIdiot It'll be really bad publicity if Reggie doesn't step up and do it.
@TheWindWaker Forget Ganondorf, Ghirahim all the way.

@vitalemrecords It's an acronym, so I pronounce it like one, but I guess we're the only ones.

@PvtOttobot What does that have to do with the article at hand?... like at all... I don't mean to sound offensive, but couldn't you find a place to post that that actually was about the LGBT Playstation?
It has Skyward Sword Link? Dang it Nintendo, now I want a Wii U
Ideally we'd have both. I like online for the option to play with relatives online, but I also like the option of yelling at my brother when he screws up in person instead of over text message.
@Luigifan141 I'm going to ask that just because they said not to.
How do I get the serial code from Gamestop? Can someone just put the code out online?
I'm surprised by the fact Skyward Sword even placed considering just how many on the internet despise it. Unsurprising however is that the Ocarina of Time cultists overpowered the rest of us and landed that the title of best Zelda game ever.
Make's me a little worried about lag, but we'll see what happens.
@justinluey The word going around the internet is Iwata or Reggie (Dunno, I didn't hear it myself) is that they'll be in the price range of Skylanders figures.

Alec Boehm - Cinematographer/Director - Los Angeles, CA
- Alec and I originally met while working in the camera dept. on a film when I first moved out to LA. Since then, we've kept in touch and I've gotten a lot of film and photography advice from him. This shot was taken one afternoon while running around downtown LA in and around the Grand Central Market (Wearing glasses, turned toward the camera, in line for the taco stand). From the Downtown LA photo series. -
David Mayfield - Singer/Songwriter/Musician - Nashville, TN
- I met David Mayfield when he became a roommate shortly after I moved back to Nashville. He is an amazingly talented singer/songwriter/musician who has played with many other artists/bands and now as a solo artist with The David Mayfield Parade. I've had the privilege of both working with him multiple times as well as calling him a friend. I highly recommend checking out his first solo effort as well as his work with other artists including Cadillac Sky and The Avett Brothers. This photo was taken on the front porch of the Nashville house where we both lived. -
Steve Sudduth (aka Mikky Ekko) - Artist/Musician - Nashville, TN
- Steve and I first met when he stopped by at a photo shoot I was doing with his designer girlfriend and Sarah Silva when I was visiting Nashville prior to officially moving. After checking out his live performance at 12th & Porter, I was blown away by his music and stage performance, which you should definitely check out if you have not. This photo was taken in East Nashville after a lunch at Mitchell's Deli. -
Amanda Valentine - Designer & Stylist - Nashville, TN
- Amanda is an incredible designer/stylist and friend I met in Nashville while looking for a designer to work with for a concept shoot I was doing at the time (loosely titled "Fight Club"). After working with her on that shoot, we've continued to collaborate on other projects and ideas, some of which will come to fruition Spring 2011. This photo was taken in her studio following a portfolio shoot showcasing her work. You can check out her work, Valentine Valentine at www.amandavalentine.com and pick it up online at Etsy and in various shops in Nashville. -

I just had FiOS installed with the CHS 435HDC DVR box. The Slingbox website says it's not a supported set-top box. Is there anything I can do? Or will I have to cancel FiOS in a matter of hours after it being installed?
Please help,
The only thing that can be done at this time is to contact slingbox for any support. Verizon will not be able to assist you with this issue. Even if you disconnect/reorder fios video service. You will still get the same equipment. It's based off of what the engineers built outside.
Is the Slingbox not meant to work with FiOS, or is it that it won't work with that particular Cisco box?
If the latter, see if some other Cisco box is listed. They may use the same remote codes.
Also, maybe the Slingbox can work with a different FiOS set top box offered in your area. Maybe one of the simple ones meant for old analog TVs, if the Slingbox can take an RF signal on channel 3 or 4.
This can't be correct. FiOS has been available here for far longer than the introduction of the Cisco DVR. So other equipment must be compatable.
Set up the slingbox as if you are connecting it to a Motorola QIP-6416 DVR.
Just a heads up that this worked great, even two years after the last post. Thanks for providing an accurate work-around for the newer Cisco FIOS boxes.
Worked for me. Thanks.

Uh yeah. Hypothetically I agree, your theory and argument for why these changes are good is sound. But my Battlegroup is far from balanced and now Alliance have lost their only balanced Battleground - in that it was about 50/50 to win. Now even completing the BG daily quests is an epic task because we've got around a 10% chance of victory in each BG.

taxi driver
Jens Stoltenberg
Why you should care
America's transatlantic alliance, a ballast of international security since World War II, risks losing relevance unless European leaders ante up.
Take a taxi in Washington, D.C., and, more likely than not, you'll end up in a debate about politics with a cab driver who fancies him or herself the next coming of Bill Maher or Sean Hannity. But that's nothing compared with what some Norwegians experienced one Friday afternoon last August, when a cab ride through their nation's capital turned into a discourse on everything from education policy to corporate governance … with their sitting prime minister.
As part of a campaign stunt during his Labour Party's bid for re-election, then-Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg cruised the streets of his native Oslo picking up unsuspecting denizens for a quick (and surreptitiously videotaped) chat about the state of the country.
The video, which the Guardian helpfully translates into English, reveals this calm and serious pol's surprisingly affable touch with the common man (and woman). The fresh and funny back-and-forth didn't help Stoltenberg at the polls — his center-left Labour Party lost to the center-right Conservative Party last fall. But it is evidence of the sort of people skills that should come in handy in Stoltenberg's newest gig, leader of NATO, where he'll not only have to woo officials across Europe but also that most hard-bitten of all politicians, Vladimir Putin.
Western leaders may not exactly be expecting Stoltenberg to look into Putin's eyes and see his soul, the way President Bush "bonded" with him back in 2001, but they are hoping against hope that this 55-year-old lifelong politician has the same deft touch with the Kremlin he demonstrated during a decade leading this Scandinavian country of roughly 5 million.
That could help mitigate the fallout with Moscow over Russia's military takeover last month of the Crimea, a majority-Russian speaking peninsula that is part of Ukraine — though no one thinks the Ukrainians are getting that territory back anytime soon. The bigger goal for this 65-year-old alliance and its new leader will be rallying the collective weight of NATO's 28 member countries to deter the Russians from going any further into Eastern Europe, a threat that has members like Poland particularly nervous.
Stoltenberg has proven particularly adept in dealing with Moscow.
Inked by 10 Western European countries, the United States and Canada in the aftermath of World War II, NATO was originally formed to ward off the Soviets from gobbling up America's democratic partners in Western Europe (Europe returned the favor after Sept. 11, joining with the U.S. fight in Afghanistan). Though it has since expanded to include many parts of the one-time USSR, NATO's latest security crisis still has an eerie air of déjà vu.
In other words, it's a hairy time for Stoltenberg to jump into the fray. But that didn't stop the alliance from announcing late last month that the two-time Norwegian prime minister (who first assumed the post at just 40 years old) would succeed current Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen in the organization's highest civilian post this coming October. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was the chief champion for Stoltenberg's appointment, despite his relative lack of security credentials, based in large part on Oslo's — and Stoltenberg's — long-standing ties with Moscow, says Erik Brattberg, an expert on Europe and NATO at the Atlantic Council.
The two neighbors share a 100-plus-mile-long land border and plenty of abutting maritime claims in the Arctic, leading to an amicable, if not necessarily chummy, relationship with Vladimir Putin's Russia. Stoltenberg has proven particularly adept in dealing with Moscow, successfully negotiating a 2010 agreement on borders in the Barents Sea with then-President Dmitry Medvedev that the Russians and Norwegians had been haggling over for 40-some years.
Norway is the rare Western country that "has been able to maintain very good relationships with Russia" while at the same time being "very clear on [its] position against Russia and Russia's role in the Crimea," not to mention other strong-arm tactics Putin has tried in the past, says Brattberg.
It's a tricky balancing act, and it's not the only one Stoltenberg — sometimes dubbed the "Tony Blair of Norway" for the way he shifted his traditionally lefty party to the political center — pulled off while leading Norway.
For eight years, he helped keep together a fractious coalition government, made up of Labour and two other parties — practically an eon in that type of parliamentary arrangement.
That, says Nina Graeger, a political adviser to Stoltenberg when he was Norway's minister of energy and now a senior fellow at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, gave him heaps of experience in the art of compromise, which will be an integral part of the job at NATO as he tries to herd 28 countries toward consensus at a pivotal time.
Norway is one of the minority that has actually increased defense spending in recent years.
The current conflict with Russia, after all, just intensifies a bigger identity crisis looming for NATO as it closes a major chapter in its history — transitioning out of its long, frustrating war in Afghanistan. Looking ahead, the biggest question facing the future of the alliance: whether its cash-strapped member countries are really prepared to continue to invest in a robust collective defense.
For the last five or so years, the majority of NATO members have been cutting back on defense spending, a trend that looks set to continue. That's true for the United States, which has long propped up the alliance, accounting for 70 percent of NATO's budget. American leaders say it's now time for a change, and are pushing the Europeans to shoulder more of the load. But few have responded.
Norway is one of the minority that has actually increased defense spending in recent years — and has pushed for NATO to refocus on homefront security. Given the Crimea crisis, that now seems quite prescient. The territorial spat also has U.S. military leaders taking another look at their decisions to shrink the size of their European forces. But the question, as usual, comes down to costs.
A big part of Stoltenberg's agenda, then, "will be managing European countries and convincing them to really take security seriously," says Brattberg. "That's going to require both diplomatic skills but also being a person that's viewed as a strong leader, who can put some pressure on some of the European countries."
The 55-year-old Stoltenberg can lay claim to those kinds of credentials, as well, most famously for his response in one of Norway's darkest hours — the 2011 massacre of 77 Norwegians, many of them teenagers, by a deranged far-right extremist.
He delivered a stirring address at the public memorial for the victims days later — "Our answer," he declared, "is more democracy, more openness and more humanity" — a searing moment for Norwegians, and akin to President George W. Bush's impromptu bullhorn speech atop the rubble of the twin towers in the days after September 11, 2001.
One of Stoltenberg's jobs at NATO will be to help foster the kind of secure environment so that no other world leader has to make those kind of remarks to a grieving public ever again.

Did my first, solo all-grain brew on Saturday with my new, homemade wort chiller. Everything was working great, the beer was coming out cool, couldn't have been more happy. Then, all of a sudden, no flow. I was using both pellet and leaf hops, and it turns out a leaf hop got caught in the copper tubing of the CFC. Couldn't get it out to save my life, and I still had 4 gallons to cool. So, through the pot into the bathtub and turned on the cold water.
Eventually, I got the stuck hop out, but it was too late to use the CFC again. I ended up pitching my 2L Trappist yeast starter (big beer!, OG=1.072) into the wort at 81F and had active fermentation in a few hours. I think I turned out fine, no contamination from the prolonged sitting at warm temps due to the large, fresh starter, I hope.
My question is how do people stop hops from getting into the CFC? I don't have a brew kettle with a ball valve or anything, and I won't be doing that until I get my SS keg. So, what I am looking for is something to hook the CFC inlet tubing up to and submerge into the brew kettle. Any ideas?
Albert Einstein defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
You have to use a filter for you pickup/siphon. If you're using a racking tube, you could try using a hop bag tied to it. Or, you could just put your hops in a mesh bag next time and pull it out when the boil's over.
I think most people who use a CFC have a kettle w/ a ball valve and pickup tube. Then you would use a hopstopper, bazooka tube, copper scrubby, or keep using a mesh bag. If you do a search, you'll find a lot of threads on the different methods.
Fine mesh hop bag. I wish I'd have done that when I first started. Less trub, easier cleanup on the IC and generally less messy.
I am just ironing out the kinks in my CFC system, and I did the same thing today. I ended up blowing out the blockage backwards with my Kegging system, after sanitizing everything, then fishing my hop sack down into the pot where my whirlpool pickup is to "guard" the output shank- hopefully nothing got contaminated....
I have a HopStopper (Googe it) connected to the outlet port on my kettle. It catches all the break material. I also use a cylindrical stainless mesh device to contain my hops (pellet) during the boil. Nothing but clean wort makes it out of my kettle valve.

Good choice for dogs with food allergies

Good food

Since learning that added dyes affect my dogs I went to a solid color food. They seem to be very healthy and satisfied. I was told that there wouldn't be a problem switching to the different flavors, but my dogs do need an adjustment period.
Pros: Dogs love it.
Cons: Pricey

A Bridgeport woman is accused of beating her own poodle-mix puppy named Dora, so severely the dog died.
A dog was barking at a home of 23-year-old Rommy Rodriguez on Pacific Street. Sandra Contreras, who is the next-door neighbor, said she and the building's landlord heard Rodriguez yelling as the dog was "crying and whining."
"You could hear all the noise, all the yelling, screaming, whining and all the bang," said Contreras of Bridgeport. "And when I heard that I was like that's it."
The dog's barking kept getting "quieter and quieter until it stopped," witnesses told police.
Witnesses told police that Rodriguez and another man were seen holding a black garbage bag behind the building.
When Contreras went to look in that area, she said she noticed a freshly dug area and that's when she took matters into her own hands.
"It was actually the landlord that I made him do that," Contreras said. "But he dug up the dirt and he found a white bag with the dog inside."
That neighbor found the dog buried in a backyard, police said. The body of the animal was brought to the Bridgeport Animal Shelter.
A necropsy was performed on the body and it was determined it died from blunt force trauma.
Rodriguez, who has been previously arrested for breach of peace and criminal trespass, was arrested on Thursday morning and charged with animal cruelty charges.
Rodriguez was arraigned at Bridgeport Superior Court on Thursday where her attorney told the judge that she is getting psychiatric treatment.
After her court appearance, Rodriguez told Eyewitness News that her landlord hit and killed the poodle-mix, not her. However, Rodriguez would not comment any further.
"I wished I would have been there long before she was dead," Contreras said.
Rodriguez was released on the condition that she would appear back in court on Dec. 5.

A Tumblr by Trevor Corson
Trevor is the author of The Story of Sushi: An Unlikely Saga of Raw Fish and Rice
For information about the historical sushi dinners Trevor hosts, please visit SushiConcierge.com
In Japan, sushi is a man's world. Male chefs use all manner of excuses to defend their sushi bars against women who want to work there. Women can't be sushi chefs, they say, because makeup, body lotion, and perfume destroy the flavor of the fish and rice. Some male chefs claim that the area behind the sushi bar is sacred space, and would be defiled by the presence of a woman. Others say women don't have the reflexes necessary for the knife work.
The most common argument against female sushi chefs is that a woman's hands are warmer than a man's—the insinuation being that this warmth can somehow "cook" a piece of raw fish. In fact, a study published in The Lancet in 1998 demonstrated that women are likely to have colder hands than men, as I report in The Story of Sushi.
Last night, the diners in my Monday-night Sushi Concierge class were treated to a gorgeous spread of traditional sushi prepared by one of my new favorite chefs, Ms. Sho at Jewel Bako in New York. Everyone agreed the sushi was exquisite. The only disappointing part of the meal was the thought lurking in the back of my head that Ms. Sho would have had a much harder time in Tokyo getting a job at such a top-notch sushi restaurant than in New York. Well, Japan's loss, our gain.
The reasons given for why women shouldn't be sushi chefs are ridiculous, of course. It's just old-fashioned patriarchal prejudice. Check out my webpage on pioneering women in the world of American sushi, and scroll down for interviews with female sushi chefs in Japan.
And here's a narrated slideshow I put together for the Atlantic featuring an interesting African American female sushi chef in Memphis.
The real-life main character I follow in The Story of Sushi is a woman named Kate Murray. She has a hard time mastering the art of sushi, but it's not because her hands are too hot!

Why in the name of ermine boleros would anyone make such a dull, coy and, worst of all, pretty film about Anne Boleyn?
I think the performances are really good.
Overscored and lacking even the faintest realism of period, the movie still bears undeniable trash charms, if nothing near the deep satisfactions of such medieval nonsense as Beckett.
After covering much of its ground at a stylish canter, The Other Boleyn Girl finishes at a plod.
Irresistibly salacious soap opera, teeming with lust, scheming, backstabbing, and some outrageously overheated plot twists.
Apart from the close ups of the lead actresses in 16th century garb, this movie is recommended only to soap opera aficionados and lovers of corsets.
A run-of-the-mill costume drama that made me think more about running home and Wikipedia-ing the characters than investing in the story before me.
The history may have been narratively scrunched, but it's all the true lives of some powerful and unfortunate people. Very lush.
Portman confere peso dram�tico � Ana Bolena, mas Johansson e Bana parecem seguir no piloto autom�tico. Al�m disso, as liberdades hist�ricas tomadas pelo roteiro s�o absurdas demais para poderem ser ignoradas.
The falling blade is the only element not missing the mark in this film. I wanted to call for the beheading after Act One, and spare the audience instead.
The film gets a full 'This is a work of fiction' disclaimer, even noting that any resemblance to any person living or dead is unintentional. That tells you something about how much trust to put in these historical CliffsNotes.
An all in the dysfunctional family royal romp with incestuous tendencies, this richly textured, dramatically disciplined, erotically laced and emotionally taut creation makes for weirdly kinky historical analysis, but pretty steamy pre-tabloid melodrama.
In an earlier era this would have starred Bette Davis and Miriam Hopkins and in its way, The Other Boleyn Girl is just as trashy and enjoyable.
If the late Aaron Spelling had lived long enough to produce Showtime's The Tudors, the result might have been something like The Other Boleyn Girl...
With plenty of betrayal, attempted incest and beheadings crammed into this period episode of The Young and the Restless, The Other Boleyn Sister has appeal in an otherwise stiff genre.
There are moments when you can see how terrific this film could have been
Such unwieldy mechanisms only draw attention to the movie's narrative contrivances.
A rather titillating take on a racy historical novel, this is perhaps too ambitious in intent. More time, or more pruning (perhaps they should just have focused on The Boleyn girl), would have produced a richer and more enjoyable film.
It's a fairly uninspired screenplay. And the same can be said for both the Boleyn girls. They are both extremely fetching in their tight bodices but unengaging as characters.
Hey, wait a minute, is the movie supposed to be this funny?
Feels like an Oscar-bait title that somehow got its DNA mixed up with a daytime soap opera.

Movies Like The Other Boleyn Girl
- Katherine of Aragon: How dare you. [man shouts Katherine, Queen of England, come to court] You want me to creep away and become a nun? Well I shall not. You want me to lie before God and admit my first marriage was consummated, well it was not. You want me to retire and give up my daughter's claim as sole rightful hier to the throne, well I shall not. Not in a thousand years. Not if you rack me to within an inch of my life. I am Katherine, Queen of England. The king's one true wife and mother of the heir to the throne. Beloved of the people and beloved of a king, who you have bewitched.

5 Role Models Every Catholic Woman Needs
page 1 of 6
Noah's Wife
Most of us will never have "15 minutes of fame." We go about our daily lives in anonymity, serving our friends, families, and co-workers. We aren't rewarded in measurable ways. We simply persevere.
Noah's wife is the perfect role model for us during these days and months and years of seeming obscurity. She remained anonymous to everyone but was certainly known to God. Imagine her life on the ark! Think about cleaning the stalls and cooking the meals! Think about the endless rainy days! She reminds us that we may never be known to the world but that the work we do within our homes has the ability to save the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I take care of my new sofa?
- Any type of furniture covering will benefit from reduced exposure to direct sunlight. Of course wipe up any spills with a clean cloth as soon as they occur. Vacuum or brush your upholstered furniture weekly to remove the dust and avoid colors becoming dull. Leather is easy to care for by applying an appropriate conditioner every 6-12 months. Be sure to follow manufacturer's instructions before applying any detergents or solvents.
- How do I care for my mattress to make it last?
- A quality mattress should last for 8 to 10 years if cared for properly. Comfort and support will degrade by then, and it may not be visible to the untrained eye. Be sure to invest in quality mattress accessories to get the most out of your mattress. Having the correct foundation and solid coverings will help extend the life.
- What is the difference between a standard king mattress and a California king?
- The standard king is 76" wide by 80" long, while the California king is 72" wide by 84" long. Other mattress sizes are: Queen (60" wide by 80" long), Full/Double (54" wide by 80" long) and Twin/Single (39" wide by 75" long) and Twin XL (39" wide by 80" long).
- Do you offer financing plans for my furniture purchase?
- Yes, we offer no interest plans to anyone with qualifying purchase and approved credit.
- Will you place an order for me if you don't have exactly what I want on the showroom floor?
- We have many items available to you that may not be in our showroom today. Our experienced sales team will help you determine the perfect fit for your furniture needs and set up a plan to make your dream room a reality.
- What are the benefits of a memory foam pillow?
- Memory foam pillows are designed for greater support to help avoid neck or back problems. Memory foam is heat-sensitive and it has the ability to cradle the head and neck, allowing the supporting muscles to achieve greater relaxation, resulting in a more restful and peaceful night of sleep.
