Jenn's San Francisco Dreams Living Room
Room for Color - West #1
Name: Jenn
Location: San Francisco, California
Type of Home: Rental Apartment
Color Inspiration: I'm a painter living in the Richmond District of San Francisco. We are lucky to have south and west facing windows that look out to the ocean on a clear and sunny day. We also have views of the bright homes...
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
Color Inspiration continued: ...of this city out the window, the orange Muni buses, and the guy that lives across the street owns just about a dozen vintage cars that come in all the colors i love.
I look into the living room from my studio every day, and so its important that it works for me visually otherwise inspiration gets sour. It evolves as the color palette of my artwork evolves almost daily. Accessories change, but we wanted our Bay window nook to feel open, to invite the sun inside and to give us a feeling of openness where maybe the ocean might meet the sky. I actually had the folks at Benjamin Moore Paint mix this color for me, it was a lightened blue/green with a touch of yellow in it.
Colors Used: Benjamin Moore - custom mix. A lightened mixture of blue, green and a touch of yellow.
Color Tip: Be bold, and either go for contrasting color combinations, or a harmony or range of a few colors. I switch it up with accesories and sometimes our room is all shades of blue and green, or i punch in some rusty orange pillows to set the wall off.

What I can see in the room looks very nice. I just wish I could see more of the room/walls etc. Photos all seem to be showcasing the furniture and floor.
man, good job w/ the tucking on that slip cover!
Love the rug and the lighting.
I love it. It makes me feel at home. The wall color is not my taste, but the colors in the furniture and accents do it for me.
I like how comfortable and eclectic it is, the color palette is great. Shows you don't have to have pricey furniture to have some style. It's too bad you can't really see the wall color in the photos, though.
thanks everyone...this room is definitely a work in progress for us. We just got married this year and are having to work with some old furniture. I'll be posting more "in-progress" shots as time goes by.
We chose not to photograph the height of the ceiling as we still have our rental blinds intact, but plan to remove them and replace this year.
I love the room and those windows are amazing! I don't really care for the color palette, though.
Great use of color, especially in a rental. The room looks comfortable and sophisticated, and I really like the leaning art in the corner. Great job, Jenn!
Mmmm..... retro.... love it!
I need to know about that painting with the girl you see on the floor: it is stunning, I love the texture and it just draws me in.
I'm as poor as dirt, so I definitely know I couldn't afford it, but would love to know if you have issued a poster version of it.
This said, I think you are blessed with a great room and, well, your painter, so that is already making your job easier. I love the blue mixed in with the earthy tones: bold!
Awesome! Except for the paintings on the floor. Hang them up!
This is inspirational to me. This is a room that works and not just for the colors contest but as a whole. I can't imagine what you'd come up with on a much larger budget but your taste and style is on point.
you did an awesome job with what you have. i hate hate hate futons and i barely noticed yours because the colours of the throw pillows were distracting me...in a good way.
I love the paintings on the floor. Thay draw the eye to those fantastic windows. I lived in the San Francisco area for a couple of years so I know how important getting enough light is. Good job.
Sarrazak - thanks so much for what you say here....i often wish i had a much larger budget. Really wanting to get a new couch in the next year.
NOHJ!! - would love to hang them up, but the paintings aren't done yet. I'm working on a show coming up in New York. Small space and so they all rotate through here while i work on them.
HIMSL - thanks - yeah - we hate our futon too....can't wait to get a new couch.
barbara.agatha - no prints of this one yet. This piece will get released at Opera Gallery in New York. Prints will likely come in 2010. thanks so much...
I would have chosen ever-so-slightly warmer colours, but I love the furniture in this room and the way it all comes together. None of it looks like a contrived attempt at "eclectic chic". Congratulations on a room with a cool vibe!
What I want to know is where we can see more of your work, I love that one painting!

He represents a wide variety of clients — from small businesses to major multinational corporations — in an assortment of industry sectors, including aerospace and defense, higher education, software, IT and other services, electronics, research and development, financial, construction, transportation, health care, biotech and manufacturing.
Emily M. Renzelli is an associate in the Jackson Kelly's Charleston office. Her practice focuses on environmental and energy issues as well as general litigation matters.
As business operations have become increasingly digitized, potential sources of legal liability have multiplied exponentially. Reliance on computers for communications and recordkeeping means more opportunities for even well-meaning employees to put the company at risk through their use (and misuse) of data. In addition to efforts to ensure compliance with defamation laws and criminal statutes concerning pornography, obscenity, harassment and certain gambling activities, companies must now guard against security breaches and other compromise of customer data, violations of intellectual property laws and fraudulent offers.
As complicated as this effort can be, however, there are basic concepts that savvy businesses should keep in mind when confronting data-based risks. Taken together, they can form the basis of an effective data security and management plan — one that will both minimize the risk of liability and also ensure that the company will be able to effectively and efficiently respond in the event a misstep does occur.
One fundamental way to minimize risk of employee missteps is to establish and maintain confidentiality of data by limiting the number of employees with access to the system or data in question. Proper access controls keep sensitive information away from individuals who do not need to see it in order to perform their duties.
Such controls also help prevent the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive information by creating accountability among those who are authorized to view or modify the data. In addition, they reduce the number of employee accounts susceptible to attack by intruders attempting to mine for private data.
Successfully controlling employee access depends largely on effectively limiting access to network resources. Not all employees need to see and use every bit of data on a company's network. For example, only human resources personnel and perhaps certain top management will need access to employee-related files. The best way to protect this data from everyone else is to set up the company network so that only certain authorized users may access that content.
Most systems will, at least in part, determine access rights based on passwords. Strong passwords also provide an essential defense against outside intruders. Consequently, companies should train employees how to create and secure passwords and set their systems to reject weak passwords.
Businesses can also minimize risks by properly protecting the data on their systems and making sure it cannot be modified in unexpected ways. A loss of data integrity renders the data less valuable — and potentially even harmful to the company. Within a business, lack of data integrity may result from employee error, intentional tampering (internal or external) or an unforeseen disaster.
Mitigating the likelihood and impact of such occurrences requires more than access controls within the network. Additional security controls are essential, beginning with firewall protection that restricts data flow between internal and external networks, including but not limited to the Internet. Also key is encryption — the process of transforming data into an unreadable form to prevent unauthorized access and use. In addition to proper levels of encryption, businesses should establish or take advantage of systems that log activity occurring within the network. Such logs allow review that may identify abnormal activity and trigger additional steps to prevent unauthorized access.
Properly caring for a company's data also involves making sure to store it in the right place. Access controls and data integrity only work if you can find what you have protected. However, availability requires more than simply putting the data on the right server and properly restricting access. The company's network must also be physically secure. Key methods of promoting availability include restricting physical access to network servers, establishing off-site storage of critical data, and implementing effective disaster recovery procedures.
In addition to protecting against intruders and unintentional modification or destruction, effective data availability ensures efficient access and use for corporate and litigation purposes. The business will not only be able to conduct its day-to-day business more efficiently, it will also spend less time and money retrieving, organizing, and reviewing electronic data in the event of litigation or government investigation.
Designing Your Plan
Obviously, every company faces its own unique situation with its own range of data-based risks. One size most definitely does not fit all. However, every data security and management plan should address the concepts of confidentiality, integrity and availability in the context of the company's circumstances. Answering the following questions is a good way to begin the planning process:

A Thoughtful Review of LED Light Bulbs
The light bulb landscape is rapidly evolving: incandescents are on the decline, compact fluorescents have become increasingly standard, and LED bulbs are becoming more affordable. The options one faces when replacing a bulb can be overwhelming. Recently, Marco Arment (creator of Instapaper and cofounder of Tumblr) performed a thorough and detailed test of some of the top LED light bulbs available.
In his review, Marco tested four LED bulbs, a standard 60W incandescent, a compact fluorescent, and a halogen-incandescent. He photographed the bulbs while off, on, and under a lampshade, and compared their brightness, directionality, color temperature, power efficiency, value, and aesthetics. I like that he didn't simply line up the bulbs in a feature-by-feature comparison chart, but instead gathered his findings in long form writing that better captures each bulb's real world strengths and weaknesses.
Marco found a practical favorite, but not an all out champion. A few days later, he posted a follow-up: one last bulb had come to his attention, and it beat all the original candidates. For his conclusion, I recommend reading through the two posts in full. You'll come away not only with a great LED light bulb recommendation, but a better understanding of these products' promises and perils.

I was surprised reading those posts that there was no reference to Ikea LED bulbs, but to my shock, in the USA, Ikea have yet to stock LED builds.
I've tried so many types of LED bulbs and I can honestly say that the Ikea range is second to none. After reading all about this philips bulb that's a replacement for a 60watt bulb but is 20dollars, it seemed like it was VERY expensive.
Here in Ireland, Ikea sell all types of LED Bulbs - 4.3watt to me is as very close 60watt and they have a 8.1watt, which is more like a 75-80watt bulb, but the best part is the cost. The 4.3watt LED (which comes in all shapes and sizes as well as clear / opaque) is only 7.11cent (so less than 9dollars and 50 cent!)
Here's the link to the Irish Ikea Site and the search result for their LED Bulbs - http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/search/?query=LEDare
I have replaced all the lighting in my 2 bed apartment with LED lighting and my energy bills have more than halved. (I mean all bulbs, Ceiling Spot lights, Bedside lights, floor lights, Ceiling Pendant lights). The initial outlay has already seen benefit and well, I should see me making my money back in reduced bills by the end of the year.
(on an off point, for accent lighting, the Ikea LED Strips - either these colour changing ones: http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/00202324/ or these solid white ones: http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/90192071/ are amazing. I have them mounted eveywhere. Under my sofa for that "cinema" feel and under my bed so I can get up at night without blinding myself, but the best spot was in my bathroom, where the solid white ones use 1.8watts and gives off more than enough light to use the bathroom at night / even shower by. Here's a link to a photo of it in place in my bathroom - http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a98C0u3uaYY/T04Ue1K6YiI/AAAAAAAAKFQ/aa6oHRZhbeQ/s1600/IMG_20120216_005756.jpg

It was done in my bathroom as part of its renovation - http://tonyreilly.blogspot.com/2012/02/my-bathroom-before-and-after.html
I wonder when you guys state side will get the Ikea bulbs!
I bought a couple of LED light bulbs off a website for about 5 dollars each, and they have been great. They were suppose to replace 40 watt bulbs but they are almost too bright. The quality of light is nice, and not blue or too white. Its just a shade cooler than a standard bulb. I'll start replacing my other CFLs with LEDs as they die. However I have zero issues with CFLs and mine are still going strong, so I dont forsee buying more LED bulbs for a while.
I also bought those Magnatech LED ORION bulb and I was quite impressed. Replaced a 60W bulb, the colour is really clear and it is way better than I expected. Not really being a fan of LEDs, I just wanted to give it a try because of the savings but now, I`m definitely going only for LEDs now and would fully recommend those. SInce there are many brands now, I would go for a Magnatech LED, they`re price is quite good for the quality you get.
Hi, just found out about that ORION bulb too. Friends of mine advised me this brand Magnatech LED and I wanted to check. Just got the first 2 a few weeks ago from a local distributor and tried them out. Except the fact that it`s a bit warmer than usual LED bulbs, the brightness is just awesome just for a 5.5W. Now I`m replacing the whole house`s bulb with that one. Cheers for that brand which actually holds his promises...not the case for some others that I know [...] unfortunately!
Just for the record, I got some Philips bulbs too, about the same quality but definitely more expensive ($10 more) so without doing any advertisement, go for a Magnatech LED, I bet you won`t regret it!
FYI, Arment updated his bulb comparison with two new LED bulbs and found a new winner amongst the six LEDs tested.
Very thoughtful review. And I found another LED Lights site http://www.ledlightshub.com/.
Thanks for updating us with this nice and relevant information as we are also led lighting manufacturers in hyderabad. So this info. will be very helpful for me.

Frankfurt Book Fair 2012
Visit us at the Frankfurt Book Fair, October 10-14, 2012, Hall 5.0/C930 - Czech collective stand.
More information about the Frankfurt Book Fair
Fraus Publishing continues in the extraordinary success!
The Best European Schoolbook Award, a competition held in co-operation with the Frankfurt International Book Fair, awarded two of the Fraus Publishing textbooks. The expert jury awarded the Gold medal to the teaching materials set of Prvouka (Elementary Science) for 2nd grade of basic schools and a Special prize to the interactive Geography textbook for the 9th grade of basic schools. The prizes were presented to Mr. Fraus, Executive of the Publishing House, at the 63th Frankfurt International Book Fair.
Authors of the Elementary Science set, Michaela Dvořáková and Jana Stará appreciate the recognition very much. As they put it, it brought them assurance in creating other textbooks and also in presenting materials to teachers. "We meet teachers who like our textbooks although they admit the lesson preparation is more demanding than they had been used to, but on the other hand, we also meet many teachers who still prefer the traditional approach. And we want to show them qualities of our textbooks", said Michaela Dvořáková.
The authors followed a less often trodden path in the overall conception: "The Elementary Science lessons, especially in the second grade, are often perceived as time for talking, playing or repeating things from the first grade. Consequently, pupils only learn few new things. In our book, we wanted to invite children as real partners in serious discussions and to offer them interesting information, put the co-author Michaela Dvořáková.
As a result, the second-graders meet new concepts such as multiculturalism and learn that otherness doesn´t have to be threatening but can be interesting. The textbook describes situations which can happen when meeting with other ethnic groups. Various tasks prepare children for such situations and practise behaviour reducing potential difficulties or conflicts and supporting co-operation and understanding. Other parts of the textbook teach children for example how to identify situations which are or can be threatening to them and how to address the adults and ask for help.
A Special Prize was awarded by the jury to the interactive Geography for 9th grade of basic schools and 6- or 8-year grammar schools as to a unique material. The jury comprised of experts appreciated not only the high quality of the interactiveness but also a modern methodological approach used in the textbook.
The fourteen co-authors led by Miroslav Marada used the principle of the so-called pedagogical constructivism when writing the textbook. In practice, this means that children are not taught "ready-made" truths. Instead, the teacher shall first elicit what children already know about the issue and then, using appropriate teaching methods, he or she shall lead them to finding out what they had understood correctly or what they had misunderstood. Children´s activity is vital in the process during which they "puzzle things out" themselves or in group work. "We wanted to prepare a textbook which would teach children think more independently and memorize less", said Miroslav Marada.
The positive reactions of teachers who quickly fell for the book and use it extensively show the authors succeeded in their intention. The reason is, according to Miroslav Marada that geography in this conception does not avoid real life problems; vice versa, it uses them in the lessons. Pupils learn for example about the impact of transport on the environment, what problems arise in the surroundings after a hypermarket is built etc. Such conception of course includes the environmental issues or talking about natural disasters. The authors treat the ecological topics in accordance with the "think globally, act locally" principle.
Miroslav Madada adds, "Teachers also like chapters dealing with services and tourism because the traditional geography is based mainly on the industry and agriculture. This way, the teachers can teach pupils new pieces of knowledge.
Overall, 40 titles from 20 countries entered in the competition out of which 9 (including the original Czech textbook) were nominated for the award.
The prize is awarded by the European Educational Publishers Group (EEPG). The Fraus Publishing seated in Plzeň thus continues in the extraordinary success it has achieved in the previous three years when it was awarded prizes for the following textbooks: Život v našem regionu / The Life in Our Region (integrated natural science and humanities workbook) (Special Prize in 2010), Mathematics for 6th grade of basic schools (Silver Medal in Best European Schoolbook Awards 2009) and History for the 6th grade of basic schools (bronze Medal in EEPG Best Schoolbook Awards 2009), Chemistry for 8th grade of basic schools (Gold medal in EEPG Best Schoolbook Awards 2008).

You threw out my best bouquet,

'Cause I know that come what may,

-I'll have you in Armageddon.
When the land drys up, and the damn goes bust,

But, no matter what the case,

-I'll have you in Armageddon.
When the sky begins to fade, and becomes the Judgment day,

As he wash away the sin,

when the Lord wants it all back,
I will take solace in this fact...
I'll be with you in Armageddon!

You're up in the draft
give you 20th pick for Dilone
It would not. No interest in the pitcher.
Also he didn't decline, I just set him from reliever to starter, he's actually boosted his stuff, and now his stuff as a reliever is up to 77
Would http://www.redraftleague.com/game/lg...yer_38571.html and a 2nd be enough to get Wilton Lopez?
Y'all up haha. Sorry, I couldn't wait for you to respond to my first question.
Your choice between the Brewers, Rockies, and Padres
Are there any teams you still really want? If so, I'll try and avoid them when picking.
If you still want De La Rosa, claim him and you can have him for your first. I think that's fair, right?
Zamora wouldn't extend but if you want to have him or Mosely still, I'll do either of them for http://redraftleague.com/game/lgrepo...yer_30638.html

In its fight against the big premium brands in Europe, Infiniti is calling upon some German-designed American firepower for its Japanese-made, Euro-market special Q50 sedan.
Mercedes-Benz has been making improvements to its manufacturing facility near Tuscaloosa, Alabama in anticipation of the introduction of the all-new 2015 C-Class. On December 18, Mercedes held a grand opening ceremony for a new 900,000 square foot parts logistics center at the plant. Mercedes claims the $70 million dollar facility will employ 600 people.
Though the CLA has enough fans to merit a warning about supply shortages until after June of 2014, Mercedes-Benz still knows the C-Class is its bread and butter. As such, the automaker has unveiled their latest and greatest generation of the former "baby Benz" to the world.
Here's a little secret: ever since the folks at No Longer DaimlerChrysler decided to pervert their previously sensible nomenclature in order to better suit the lowest common denominator of California housewives, the replacement for the 190E has been known within Mercedes-Benz dealerships as the "Cheap-Class". It's a particularly common phrase in Service and Parts, but from time to time a salesperson will let it slip as well, although certainly not in front of the customer.
There's something ungracious about calling a vehicle that sells for a minimum (and as-tested!) price of $36,725 the "Cheap" anything, but from the perspective of its manufacturer the sobriquet is legitimate. Set the Wayback Machine for 1975, and you can find a W115 240D selling for $9500. That's $38,000 in today's money, and it got you a German taxi with roll-up windows, no air conditioning, sixty-four horsepower, and M-B Tex seats. The new car offers more — a lot more — for less. So, Cheap-Class it is.
My recent trip to Napa for the VW Intramural League test offered me a chance to kill a couple birds with a single stone. By renting my own transportation, I'd be free to avoid the $100 dinners with various Heffalumps Of The Industry. And by paying an eye-watering $354 for three days including airport tax, I'd be able to review a Mercedes for the B&B. Done and done. To paraphrase Jerry Orbach in Dirty Dancing, let's see what my money bought.

When this website reported on the death of Michael Hastings, your humble author's comments regarding the odd nature of the crash wound up everywhere from the front page of the Fox News website to the Facebook pages of various relatives who didn't notice that I was the author.
There's now surveillance footage of the crash, which frankly looks more like the Castle Bravo test than a regular car crash. And at least one source has "calculated" an awfully low and suspicious-sounding speed of impact from that footage.
The writing-about-writing crowd is abuzz with discussion about the rather unusual death of Buzzfeed/RollingStone/Gawker writer Michael Hastings. Mr. Hastings, whose name is never mentioned in the press without the immediate mention that he was "the fearless journalist whose reporting brought down the career of General Stanley McChrystal", died in a single-car accident in Los Angeles yesterday morning. This in and of itself is not unusual, but the circumstances of the crash and its aftermath won't do anything to quiet the conspiracy theorists who are already claiming that the military-industrial complex found a way to cap the guy.
TTAC readers looking for a more pro-GM news source may want to check out Bloomberg for their next dose of pro-GM news. A story on Cadillac's revived fortunes contains all kinds of enthusiastic copy and positive quotes, but still manages to bury the lede way down at the bottom of the story.
People form lasting impressions at an early age. This might explain why, among the general population over 35, neither Audi nor BMW can match the mystique of a Mercedes. Even the bottom-of-the-US-range C300 raises eyebrows from people who'll give an Audi A7 nary a passing glance (and who'd view spending an extra $8,000 for a hatchback as lunacy). But will this continue to be the case with subsequent generations, or will Mercedes follow in the footsteps of Cadillac? A brand is only as strong as its weakest link. Does the C300 justify the cachet attached to its three-pointed star?

If you are looking for a code review or suggestions on how to improve on code you've written then please prefix the summary of your thread with [Code Review]. That will alert our resident experts to comment on the code you have written.
Please do not use the Code review title for normal bug hunting, but rather when you have accomplished something and wonder if you could have done it better.
It is preferable to post the snippet of code in question as well as a link to the site to help in working out what issues need to be addressed. Don't just link to the whole site and say review this code, be specific about what you want reviewed.
Please use the highlight function with the appropriate syntax.
To highlight your code as javascript, select your code, and then from the Select Syntax... dropdown list, choose JavaScript.
That will wrap your code in tags like this:
var someValue = 0;
var anotherValue = 'something else';
doSomething(someValue, anotherValue);
Which causes your code to be displayed like this:
Code javascript:
var someValue = 0; var anotherValue = 'something else'; doSomething(someValue, anotherValue);
Highlighting your code with the appropriate syntax makes it much easier for people to read and understand your code, which in turn makes it easier for them to help with your code.
Be aware that you may get conflicting and opposing views from different people. Ultimately it will be your task to sift through the information and make a decision based on what you have read. There is usually no one perfect way to do something, although there are established best practices.
Remember this is just about reviewing the code only, as website Design elements and Content reviews already have their own forums.
If this facility proves useful then these reviews may get their own dedicated forum at a later date.

That's what a new antitrust case alleges: Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Lucasfilm, and Pixar find themselves facing a new antitrust lawsuit in California. The accusations come from five software engineers, who allege that the companies conspired to stifle pay and job mobility in an effort to cut costs. District Judge Lucy Koh rejected the companies' request to dismiss the suit, saying," The fact that all six identical bilateral agreements were reached in secrecy among seven defendants in a span of two years suggests that these agreements resulted from collusion, and not from coincidence." source

No one wants a boring documentary on Africa. Maybe we have to make it pop, and we have to make it cool. We view ourself as the Pixar of human rights stories."Kony 2012" director Jason Russell • Making a telling point in an interview with the New York Times about his video, which has faced popularity and scorn in equal measures. The success of the video — far beyond your average viral video — has pushed its spread far beyond the traditional activism video, but not without criticism. Should Pixar be an example for an activist movement?
Dear Colleagues:
After a courageous fight, Steve Jobs has lost his long battle against cancer. It's almost incomprehensible that such a force of nature could ever be subdued, much less stilled. With his passing the world has lost a rare original, Disney has lost a member of our family, and I have lost a great friend.
An incomparable innovator, Steve influenced two separate centuries and forever changed what we believe is possible. Inspired and inspiring, he worked tirelessly to surprise and delight people – launching entire industries built from his imagination and his ability to make us all want to come along for the ride. I know we are all proud that he was part of our Disney family, honored that he entrusted the creative brilliance of Pixar to our keeping, and grateful for his support, advice and friendship.
Steve once shared his views on life with college graduates in a commencement address that, true to his style, set a new standard. He said, "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life…have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
That's how Steve lived, who he was, and how I will always remember him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Laurene and his children during this difficult time.
One of the best tributes we've seen. As we noted on Twitter earlier, the seeming glut of people making statements on Steve Jobs' death only tells us one thing: He touched many millions of lives.
» This is not a common occurrence: The last time a Pixar movie scored below 95 percent on the Tomatometer was back in 2006 … with "Cars," which still had a relatively solid 74 percent. It's also Pixar's first "Rotten" movie … ever. Is it because the franchise is more for the kids — and the massive merch sales that come with kids movies — than the adults?

Maid Brigade of Northeastern Ohio is located in Canton, Ohio
Canton, Ohio is perhaps not as well known as Cleveland or Akron and yet it is filled with wonderful history, shopping, restaurants and the famed Professional Football Hall of Fame. Just south of Akron, Ohio, Canton is where Maid Brigade of Northeastern Ohio calls its home. Located at 2027 Fulton Ave NW in Canton, the Maid Brigade headquarters is where all of your green house cleaning scheduling takes place.
"We offer regular staff meetings, customer service training and updates in the latest green cleaning techniques for all of our Maid Brigade employees," says co-owner Margie Toombs. "Keeping our staff well informed and well trained is a priority for our Maid Brigade location."
Both Margie and Ray Toombs, owners of the Maid Brigade Northeastern Ohio location, are long-time Canton area residents and have established valuable relationships with residents and businesses in the area.
"It is important that we take the time to be involved and to help in whatever way possible in the Canton area communities," says co-owner, Ray Toombs. "We don't just work here, we live here, and both of us feel a strong connection with the community."
Here's what one satisfied Canton customer has to say about their Maid Brigade experience:
"The employees of Maid Brigade have saved my life. I have health issues and the cleaning they provide has helped to relieve my stress. I just love each and every one of the ladies that come and clean my house. They are terrific." -Renee K., Canton, OH

iBall Slide Android Tablet has Ports Galore and a $300 pricetag
If there's one sort of device that we've over this past year come to find we're in no shortage of, it's Android "tablets". I put quotation marks around that word because as Android evolves and groups like Samsung bring out devices that bridge the gap, the word "tablet" will be used less and less by publishers while "Android device" used in a general sense will become much more likely a term for news releases. What we've got here, before that wave covers us all, is an Android device which has a 7-inch display, runs Android 2.3.x Gingerbread, and has about as many ports as you could ask for along the side.

It's really cute and we are happy with the order of this kitchen refrigerator. Its really great quality and its working out perfect for what we wanted it for!
Adorable Refrigerator
PilatesMom from Long Island, NY– Verified Buyer
My sons absolutely love opening and closing the doors of their new wooden refrigerator. The refrigerator is taller than I thought which means they'll end up getting more use out of it. This refrigerator matches nicely with their wooden kitchen. I bought the unfinished version in natural wood and the only thing I would change is that the door handles felt a little splintery. In retrospect I would have spent the extra and bought the finished wood to protect their little fingers.

Moving to a new city that you have never been, leaving all your friends and familiar surroundings behind after the age of 65 is not as easy as it sounds. And it gets even more complicated if at this age people have not saves enought money to complement their SS check. For those who think that they can move to Costa Rica, Panama or any other place where their money will strecht longer, the first think they should ask themselves is how they feel about learning a foreign language at the age of 65, if they don't kown a second language yet, adaptation to a new culture, excessive heat and humidity, noise and air pollution, dengue etc Retiring abroad is not for everybody for the same reasons as retiring in Jacksonville, Mississipe is not an option to all americans. I was born and raised in Latin America. I speak three languages however when I retired I chose the USA and I have no regrets.

Chapter 2 (She Didn't Choose This Role)2 Reviews
A girl of 18 with long flowing curly brown hair came tumbling down the stairs to stand in front of her step-mother. Her green eyes shone bright and a line of freckles grazed her nose. "What is it Zoe?" She said politely pulling her hands behind her back and making sure to stand up tall.
Zoe stared down at the girl with a look of disgust. "Can't you do anything about that hair," she scowled looking at the strands that covered Brynn's face.
Brynn quickly pushed the strands away revealing her piercing green eyes. "I'm sorry Zoe," she mumbled.
The woman huffed at the child and let it go. "Here," she commanded shoving a piece of paper in the girl's hand. "This is your class schedule for your new school."
The girl retrieved the paper and stared at the words written on it. "Thank you Zoe," she said.
"Yeah, okay," the woman replied brushing the girl away. "Now be off," she commanded as she started to walk away.
"Um...Zoe," Brynn asked stopping the woman from departing.
"What is it?" Zoe replied turning around to glare at the girl.
"How am I to get to school?" Brynn asked finding it hard to look at the woman.
"Why you walk of course," Zoe replied heaving a sigh.
"And Cher and Clair?" Brynn went on. "Are they walking too?"
"Of course not," Zoe laughed. "They will drive their new birthday gift they received." Brynn began to protest but was silenced when she saw the look in Zoe's eyes. "Good?" Zoe questioned knowing Brynn would say no more.
"Yes," Brynn sighed looking back down at the sheet of paper.
"Good," the woman stated turning back around to enter the kitchen.
"Wait...Zoe," Brynn said quickly.
"Yes," Zoe said turning to face her and heaving a sigh.
"Have you spoken to my father lately?" Brynn's father had become very involved with his work since their move to Las Vegas. Not a week had gone by that he hadn't been away.
"I talked to him yesterday," Zoe put plainly. "He will be gone for at least another week," she added.
"Oh," Brynn said hanging her head.
"I think you should go now," Zoe said. "It is a long walk."
Brynn looked back up at her step-mother and saw her grinning. Brynn nodded and turned back towards the door. She grabbed her bag sitting by the stairs when two girls came tumbling down the steps.
"Cher, that's mine," a slightly chubby blonde hair girl yelled out. Whenever the girl moved, her bob haircut would bounce with her.
"Don't be stupid Clair. Mom bought me this ages ago," the other retorted. This one also had short blond hair but her figure was slimmer and her eyes seemed sunken in.
"She did not," Clair shot back. "Mother, tell Cher to give back my shirt," she hollowed at the departed Zoe.
"Why don't you go cry to mommy," Cher told her sister.
"Maybe I will."
"Then why don't you?"
"Maybe I...Oh Brynn," Clair said seeing Brynn standing by the door witnessing the whole catastrophe. "Hope you have a nice walk."
"Yeah, and don't think for one second you're going to act like you know us," Cher put in realizing picking on Brynn was more fun than fighting with her sister.
"Yeah, because we don't want to be associated with that," Clair giggled.
The two girls continued to giggle as Brynn turned and exited the door.
"Oh Brynn wait," Clair said quickly coming up behind Brynn. "Didn't you drop this?" She asked looking disgusted at the bracelet she was holding.
Brynn looked at the silver bracelet and reached for it. "Thanks Clair," she said quietly retrieving it from the girls grasp.
"I don't know why you keep that piece of junk?" Cher put in coming to stand by her sister.
"Yeah," Brynn said snapping it back on her wrist.
The walk to the school was both warm and uneventful. The only activity that arose was Cher and Clair whizzing by in their car and flipping Brynn off. Brynn shrugged it off and continued her walk.
It was already 8:28 when Brynn arrived at the school. She ran up to the door knowing the final bell would ring at 8:30. She reached for the door and pulled it open when four boys came dashing past her and through the door.
"Thanks," one called out before disappearing inside. Brynn watched them go knowing she should be hurrying also.
"Sorry about them."
Brynn jumped at the noise of a girl behind her. She whipped around to find herself staring at a girl about her age with long dark black hair. Her eyes were green like Brynn's but unlike Brynn this girl had her ears pierced at least 10 times and a small nose ring that glittered in the sun.
"Oh...um...it's okay," Brynn stumbled in saying.
"It's my stupid brother and his friends," she said walking up to Brynn. "You must be new," she added smiling.
"Uh...yeah," Brynn answered confused as to why this gorgeous girl was so nice to her. "I'm Brynn Darling," she added realizing she was waiting to introduce herself.
"Hey, I'm Rosalind," she said taking Brynn's hand from her side and shaking it. "but everyone just calls me Roz...Roz Ross."

The Breedlove Passport Travel Acoustic Electric Guitar is for players who want all of the legendary Breedlove sound in a portable package. A solid Sitka spruce top and sapele back and sides of the Passport Traveler deliver inspiring tone. Many travel guitars just don't sound right; compromises are made in the design and construction, and the result is a thin, brittle, and uninspiring tone. The Breedlove Passport Traveler guitar doesn't make those compromises. It sounds great when played acoustically and is equipped with built-in electronics as well. The built-in tuner allows you to travel without packing an external tuning device. Case not included.

WHITESBURG, Ky. (AP) — Reagan Berry has seen firsthand how some children in Africa suffer. Berry, of Whitesburg, has returned to Africa several times since her first three-month mission trip to Senegal during her sophomore year in college.
The trip that profoundly impacted Berry's life was when she met a little girl named Eleanor at a school in Zambia. Children at the school were dirty, hungry and without hope, she said.
One day Berry couldn't find Eleanor at the school and was told that she was in the sickbay. Berry didn't leave Eleanor's side for the rest of the day once she found her all alone shivering with a fever curled up on a dirty mat. Berry held and rocked Eleanor all day.
"We tried to give Eleanor all of the love and medicine we had available," said Berry, a native of Paducah. "I ended up having to take her to the hospital, where I had to force her down while they gave her a shot. I've never heard a child scream so loud. She was so scared and so sick."
Eleanor died at age five from malaria and anemia.
"Both of which could have been cured with a little medicine and a little attention," said Berry. "It breaks my heart. Eleanor's life is just a glimpse of what children are dealing with and we can't sit by and not do something to help."
Berry said spending time in orphanages and getting to know children there was a game-changer for her.
"I feel like once you see it, you can't get it out of your head," said Berry.
Berry was encouraged to one day adopt children from Africa after she met families in Louisville that had adopted children from Ethiopia.
"I began to see it as a real possibility," said Berry. "You can't change the world, but you can change one life, and so once I saw that other families were able to do it and it was a realistic thing I was like 'Oh, man. That is what we need to. We need to adopt some of those kids.'"
Reagan Berry met Jonathan Berry at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. They were married June 9, 2009. Mrs. Berry gave birth to the couple's first child, Stella, on August 11, 2010. When Stella was six weeks old the Berrys moved from Louisville to Whitesburg where Jonathan Berry serves as associate pastor of the First Baptist Church.
Soon after moving to Whitesburg the couple decided to adopt a baby from Ethiopia.
After six months of waiting to hear something from the adoption agency, the Berrys got word about a baby boy that had been born.
Mr. and Mrs. Berry named their adopted son Addis after Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian city in which he was born. The word Addis means new life.
"In Ethiopia, Addis's future would have been living on the streets and dying later," said Mr. Berry. "His life expectancy would have been short or dying of malnutrition."
It took a year and four months from the time the Berrys started the adoption process until the time Addis came to Whitesburg.
"That is short compared to a lot of stories," said Mrs. Berry.
The Berrys knew that they wanted to adopt another child from Africa in a few years, but weren't planning on adopting again in the near future until Kona came along.
"A friend called one night and said there is an eight-month little girl in the Congo and they can't find a family for her. Would you all be interested?," said Mrs. Berry.
She said that after two weeks of prayer and conversation, she and her husband began their second adoption process after learning the little girl would most likely die if she weren't adopted.
Kona, who turned one year old on March 26, lives in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Berrys gained custody of Kona, whose name mean "lady," in May and hope to be able to bring her to Whitesburg by Christmas or the beginning of 2014.
Jonathan and Reagan Berry both come from large families and both want a large family of their own.
"I think we will adopt one more time," said Mrs. Berry.
Addis and Stella are excited to meet their sister, Kona. They look at her photograph and say "Kona."
"We're just doing what the Lord has called us to do," said Mrs. Berry. "If people want to get on board, get on board, and if you don't that is okay, too. This is just our journey."

The government will wait for the Supreme Court to rule on the Maori Council appeal against the partial privatisation of state-owned electricity company Mighty River Power, even though it needed a decision by today to meet its own sales timetable.
Prime Minister John Key told his post-Cabinet press conference that cabinet could have passed an Order in Council today to proceed with the sale, but it would have been "churlish" to do so with the court promising to produce a decision by the end of the month.
The fact the five-judge bench of the country's highest court has been unable to reach a verdict is fuelling speculation the court is split on the question of whether the decision to partially sell state assets should be judicially reviewed.
The Maori Council sought a judicial review in the High Court late last year, which was swiftly rejected. An appeal then went straight to the Supreme Court, overleaping the Court of Appeal in deference to the government's desire to get a sale under its belt by mid-year.
The MRP sale, if successful, would be followed by the sale of up to 49 percent of Meridian Energy or Genesis Energy by the end of 2013.
The government had sought a decision from the Supreme Court by February 18 in order to meet a timetable that would see the company floated on the NZX just ahead of the May 16 Budget.
However, the court said last week it would not be able to rule that quickly, although it would produce a decision by the end of the month.
Asked whether the delay represented an impediment to the sale, Mr Key replied: "It's not really. In a perfect world, we would have had an answer today because that fitted our timetable best. But I think that a couple of weeks pushes up to the edge and it doesn't make the first date we wanted on the timetable possible.
"Frankly, we could have tried to push the process and passed an Order in Council today, but given the Supreme Court is working as fast as it can anyway on a relatively tight deadline, it would have been a bit churlish of us to push that."
Mr Key also confirmed he had seen further reports on state-owned coal miner Solid Energy in the last fortnight, following the resignation of its long-time chief executive Don Elder, and that it was not fit for partial sale "any time soon".

Jerome Ross, Ph.D.
Randolph-Macon College Professor Jerome Ross, Ph.D., (religious
studies) contributed two essays to a recently-published book, The Africana Bible:
Reading Israel's Scriptures from Africa and the African Diaspora (Fortress
Press, 2010).
Ross contributed "The Deuteronomistic History" and "Zechariah" to the book, which
gathers multicultural and interdisciplinary perspectives on every book in the Hebrew
Bible. The Africana Bible opens a critical window onto the world of interpretation
on the African continent and in the multiple Diasporas of African peoples, including
the African-American experience, with attention to Africana histories, literatures,
cultures and backgrounds for understanding biblical literature.
The book also highlights issues of concern to the global Black community (such as
globalization and the colonial legacy) and the distinctive norms of interpretation
in African and African Diasporan settings.
Ross joined the faculty at Randolph-Macon College in 2006. He earned his B.A. at
Randolph-Macon College, his M.Div. at Virginia Union University and his Ph.D. from
the University of Pittsburgh.

Nanded is famous for the Hazur Sahib Gurudwara, the place where tenth Sikh guru breathed his last. A prominent Sikh pilgrimage, the town in Marathwada region of Maharashtra, attracts large number of pilgrims from across India and the world.
Nanded is the headquarters of Nanded district which shares borders with Andhra Pradesh in the east and Karnataka in the south. Nanded gets its name from Nandi Tat, a place on the banks of River Godavari. Nanded is about 270 km away from Hyderabad.
Hazur Sahib Gurudwara is the hub around which the town revolves. It was built at the site where the tenth guru passed away. The city also holds great religious importance as the birth place of famous Marathi saint-poets, Vaman Pandit, Taghunath Shesha and Vishnupant Shesha.
The town and surrounding areas has been of great strategic importance since mediaeval times. Nanded was part of the Mauryan Empire under the reign of King Ashoka (272 to 231 BC). Nanded Fort, situated about four km from the town centre, attracts lots of visitors for its garden and water works. The fort is surrounded by River Godavari on three sides. Kandhar fort, 53 km from Nanded, was among the first land forts to have a moat as a means of defence. The fort was designed and built by Rahstrakuta King Krishna III.
Nanded is a major hub for learning Sankrit and a famous centre of education in Maharashtra.
One of the Shaktipeeth in Maharashtra, the temple dedicated to Goddess Renuka Devi is situated near Mahur village close to Nanded. The temple is dedicated to Renuka, the mother of Lord Parshuram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. A big fair is held in honour of Renukadevi on Dussehra.
Where to stay
There are lots of options when it comes to budget and mid-range hotels in Nanded. The budget hotels offer decent amenities and are at walking distance from the railway station. Mid-range hotels are situated close to the bus stand which offer slightly better amenities and have clean and spacious rooms. There are no luxury hotels in Nanded.
Where to eat
There are many options available when it comes to eating out in Nanded ranging from food stalls to restaurants serving international cuisines. Stalls selling street food can be found throughout the city and especially near the Bus Stand. Many restaurants are situated near the Airport Road.
Best time to visit
The best time to visit Nanded is during September to December. Nanded gets hot summers and moderate rainfall and chilly winters.

Chatham, Cape Cod
Welcome to Chatham, Mass, USA located on the elbow of Cape Cod, half way between Falmouth and Provincetown. Our seaside community of 6,700 year-round residents offers a variety of exciting outdoor, cultural, and historical activities as well as all of the convenient services of comfortable daily living.
Of all Cape Cod towns, Chatham, the elbow of the Cape, and known locally as The First Stop of the East Wind. Chatham is one the Cape's oldest towns and was settled in 1656. Chatham is surrounded on three sides by water -- Pleasant Bay, Nantucket Sound, and the Atlantic Ocean. Chatham benefits from Mother Nature's "natural air conditioning" with comfortable summers, exquisite autumns, and mild winters.
Beaches, golf, shopping, antiquing, walking, birding, biking, fishing, kayaking, lighthouses, seafood, history, salt air, windmills... this is what makes Cape Cod so special. Chatham has carefully and beautifully preserved the flavor of a small New England town with great style and charm, creating an ideal destination to experience that "stepping back in time, olde Cape Cod" feeling.
Strolling through Main Street you will experience a variety of culinary cuisines and see famous art galleries, authentic antique shops and dealers, specialty boutiques, jewelers, unique imports, and featured open markets. Chatham has a classic blend of the past and present with its charming village streets lined with historic 18th century homes, shingled cottages and lush seaside gardens.
Cape Cod and the nearby islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket are some of the most magical places in the world. With miles of ocean beaches, sandy dunes and quaint town centers these unspoiled places have escaped overdevelopment and serve as reminders of the way life used to be.
Chatham has a rich seafaring history, a railroad museum, and summer concerts held in Kate Gould Park. Beloved by fishermen and sea captains for centuries, the charming coastal town of Chatham, Mass., came into its own as a resort destination in the 1870s when wealthy New Englanders discovered its vistas of sea and shore.
The town celebrates its sense of place through well-loved summertime traditions such as free Friday night band concerts, Chatham Angels baseball games and a Fourth of July parade that is a Norman Rockwell painting come to life. In the winter months, Chatham hosts a performing arts festival that culminates with midnight fireworks over Oyster Pond. Nearly surrounded by water and dotted with ice-age "kettle ponds," Chatham offers a number of beaches, varied water sports and a scenic 4.5-mile bike trail.
The ocean, the beach the harbor… Where the lifestyle meets the splendor of Cape Cod.
Read our reviews on Tripadvisor
Fishing is one of the Cape's favorite pastimes, from surfcasting off one of the many beaches to angling in stock ponds to chartered deep-sea fishing trips. Check with the Inn's Reception Desk for brochures and recommendations.
Cape Cod Beaches
Cape Cod beaches vary from quiet Cape Cod Bay side beaches with calm cool water, to the warm gentle waves of the beaches on Nantucket Sound, to the wild and roaring surf of the beaches laying on Cape Cod's eastern shore. Which beach is for you depends on whether you're looking for a beach suitable for small children or looking to surf some big waves, or something in between.
Lighthouses on Cape Cod
Cape Cod has had over twenty lighthouses operating along its shores over the past 200 years, mainly along the outer shore between Provincetown and Chatham. Today seven lighthouses still operate and several other decommissioned lights stand along the coastline.
Seal & Whale Watching
One of the joys of Cape Cod is the opportunity it affords for making trips to the whale feeding grounds at Stellwagen Bank, about 6 miles off the tip of Provincetown. The boat ride out into the open ocean is part of the pleasure, but the thrill is the whale sightings.
Golf Courses on Cape Cod
Cape Cod offers 54 private, semi-private and municipal golf courses offering a wide variety of terrain for golfing enthusiasts. The Cape's mild climate makes golf possible year-round, and most of its public courses stay open.
Walking Trails
The Cape Cod National Seashore has nine trails through varied terrain. Brochures are available at the Inn's Reception Desk, Cape Cod National Seashores visitor's centers and trailheads. A few of the trails are.

Yeah it did.
ON the BRIGHT SIDE
Guess what Amanda's doing!? Study Abroad!
Post about that soon? I think so… and you guys thought we died :)
Yeah it did.
ON the BRIGHT SIDE
Guess what Amanda's doing!? Study Abroad!
Post about that soon? I think so… and you guys thought we died :)
this is what ananta's been up to after this place died a horrible, fiery death.
that's how i imagine it happened.
(with fire)
We're back, and here's what you need to know. If you wanted to know.
So, rather than being just a video site, we're now closer to our original intent for this place. Which is "three idiot freshmen in college who are using posting videos and other stuff as an excuse to stay in touch."
You can read that on the sidebar whenever you want.
At art school, there is no such thing as a "second floor," only questions.
(expect an epic comeback on a certain weekend that is this weekend weekend weekend)
Yeah, I know, things have been kind of quiet on our end. We didn't realize that college is actually stressful kinda!
That doesn't mean this place is going to die. No, no. We're reorganizing and rethinking how we should approach this blog and will be good to go by next semester.
~ College a Trois
It's the ananter.
You might notice I didn't post a video today. It's because I forgot to make one. And I'm kinda lazy. And I have a couple more pertinent things on my plate right now, college-wise. That I chose to procrastinate on by doing other internet stuff instead of recording.
At least I'm being honest.
I'll be back!
So it seems I'm the only dude consistently posting here. What can I say, starting the fourth year last year kinda instilled a lazy work ethic when it comes to tumblr-ing.
That and the test that I need to study for is on Thursday, which means that doing something like this to procrastinate is, comparatively speaking, better to do now.
This is a video with the few bits of footage I managed to grab the last time I drove back to Houston. The blame lies solely on myself for it being not as comprehensive of the whole trip or as entertaining as it should be. Yeah.
This entire video and tumblr post was put together as I was sitting in my laundry room. College.
…for this weekend,
KIDS GET IN FOR ONLY 5 BUCKS!!!! I will be posting a very epic/entertaining/well-done video for your viewing pleasure (and to make up for the days I missed…)
I have no idea where everyone else went, by the way.
I'm sure you can find more if you so choose, but here are a few news links: [1] [2]
I don't have much to say about it all, it's extremely surreal to even think back to a few hours ago. (This is being written the day of, but posted on my posting day. Just to clear things up.) I woke up, groggy and confused to the sound of sirens and the advice to say put indoors.
Much credit goes to the UT and Austin police departments for handling this whole ordeal in the best way they possibly could.
Sorry if this update's a bit of a bummer. But I do say "shit" three times in rapid succession!

Massive, heartfelt congratulations are in order for the community of speed runners and organizers at the Speed Demos Archive, who raised a mind-blowing $420,000 for the Prevent Cancer Foundation over the course of their third annual "Awesome Games Done Quick" marathon this past week. Suffice it so say, the event achieved something of a critical mass this year, bringing in more money donations than all of the SDA's past charity marathons combined and attracting a sustained viewership of around 30,000 people, with occasional spikes into the 50,000's and beyond during some of the more popular games.
I personally had the marathon stream open in a dedicated browser tab for much of the week, and, aside from the obvious entertainment value of seeing dozens of my all-time favourite games being completely destroyed (and in record time), I consistently found myself in awe of the sheer knowledge, dedication, and enthusiasm of the runners. If you can imagine a society in which video games garner the same degree of respect and appreciation as professional sports, these people would be equitable to superstar athletes. You may think it hyperbole, but mastering a game to the degree of individual pixels or frames of animation requires a savant-like depth of understanding and concentration that eludes the majority of us.
So here's to you, Speed Demos Archive, for so powerfully illustrating the dedication, selflessness, and incredible collaborative potential of the gaming community at a time when, in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, the video game industry is once again being dragged through the mud and into the forefront of a woefully misguided debate on gun violence and media.
If, like me, you're curious about the Prevent Cancer Foundation's response to such a uniquely overwhelming show of support, you can read a congratulatory thank-you from special events director Linda Chastain here.

Daily in Your Presence - Aug. 7
Day 220
The one who calls you is faithful
and he will do it.
My child, every day voices cry out for your attention. At times you don't know which way to turn. That's why I'm here for you. Listen to My voice. I am the One who called you, and I am the One who will order your steps daily. In My strength, not yours, you will find sweet rest and victory. The ones I call for greater service are the ones who listen—and respond. I'll be faithful to do the work. Your job is to obey.
When work mounts up, and energy falls, You remind me of my calling, Lord. You are the One who called me and chose me before I ever knew Your name. You are the One who empowers me to do unexplainable things. And what You start, You always finish. Thank You for working through me to accomplish Your tasks.
The world has yet to see what you and God can be./blockquote>

CHESTNUT HILL, MA - Rutgers scored five of the first six goals of the game en route to a 10-3 victory against Boston college in BIG EAST women's lacrosse action Friday night at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, MA. The win is the second-straight league victory for the Scarlet Knights improving their BIG EAST mark to 2-3, while evening their overall record to 6-6 for the season.
Rutgers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead with a pair of free-position goals in the first five minutes of the game by freshman Jamie Farewell (Medford Lakes, NJ) and junior Lisa Savage (Cortlandt Manor, NY).
Following more than 10 minutes of scoreless action, Boston College finally got on the scoreboard with a goal by Susie Breaznell.
The high power Scarlet Knight offense would not let the Eagles creep back into the game however, recording the game's next three goals to push the RU lead to 5-1 at halftime.
Sophomore Emily Widrick (Carthage, NY) put an end to another extended period of scoreless action that lasted nearly 10 minutes with an unassisted goal at the 5:27 mark of the first half to open the Scarlet Knight run.
Rutgers got its third free-position tally when senior Maggie Bopp (Lindenhurst, NY) hit the back of the net a little more than a minute later and freshman Katie Batiuk (Jackson, NJ) scored her team-high 25th goal of the season, putting home a Cristina Curiale (Summit, NJ) feed less than two minutes after that to open the four-goal halftime lead.
Boston College tried to rally with a pair of goals by Breaznell to begin the second half, cutting the RU lead to 5-3.
That was all the Eagles would score the rest of the game however as Rutgers junior goalie Lyndsey Feldman (Ft. Myers, FL) made eight saves in the contest, allowing just three goals in all 60 minutes of action between the pipes. She was aided by solid defensive plays from juniors Alexis Hiering (Toms River, NJ) and Catherine Seals (Long Valley, NJ), who each had two ground balls and one caused turnover.
Rutgers tacked on five insurance goals to end the contest, earning the 10-3 victory.
Widrick added two more unassisted goals, while Batiuk (free position goal), Farewell (unassisted) and Bopp (Hiering) each had one more score for Rutgers.
The victory improved Rutgers to 8-1 all-time against BC and 4-0 in BIG EAST competition. Friday also marked the sixth time in 12 games this season, Rutgers has scored 10 or more goals.
Rutgers will close out its four-game road swing in Durham, NH, against the University of New Hampshire on Sunday at 1 p.m.
