Do you sometimes feel like you are alone with your allergy suffering? Well, you are not. Many people have allergies and most of these people want to know how to properly treat them. You'll find some excellent advice in this article to help manage your allergies. Keep reading to see how you can avoid allergy symptoms and keep future problems from occurring.
Now that you've come to the end of this article, you realize that there are ways to get your allergies under control. If you're ready to defeat your allergies and breathe easy again, pick out a suggestion or two from this article to put into practice.
If <a href='http://fresnocitycollege.edu/redirect.aspx?url=http://www.naro-tx.org'>you have tried everything possible to help your allergies and it is still not working, you might want to talk to your doctor about allergy shots. Although there is no cure for allergies, allergy shots have made a huge difference in the lives of many allergy sufferers out there. See if there are shots available for your type of allergies.
To keep pollen at bay you should wash your bedding every few days, pollen can gather on you and your clothing from outside and be brought inside. If it gets on your sheets and bedding, it can cause an allergic reaction overnight, and you will get less sleep than usual. Consider removing out your carpet. Carpet is well known for being a host for pollen, dust, and dust mites. Tile, laminate or wood floors can be considered to replace wall-to-wall carpet. This will make an amazing difference in the amount of allergy-causing substances you breathe. Even still, you need to clean your hardwood floors just as often.
One way to keep allergies under control is to make sure that when you clean, you are cleaning with the proper chemicals. This is important because you want to make sure that you are destroying what you intend to destroy. One such case is ensuring that you are using a proper item such as fungicide in order to kill mold. A good way to reduce your exposure to allergens is to close your windows and doors in the morning and night. Many of the common allergens are at their peak during these times of the day. Most outdoor allergens are pollen. Natural sources like pollen are at their highest levels at these times of the day. Sometimes allergy shots are not enough for a pet owner. They may find that they need to take additional steps. Before the shots will resolve the problem, the household's pets have to get moved outdoors. The dander must be entirely removed from the surfaces it clings to, such as furniture, carpeting, and rugs. This is not easy, though.

Boob Camp 2010 happens all week in the KCAL parking lot in Redlands between 7 and 8am. Meet the final ten raw-cruits who will do battle to score a new rack from Dr. Troy Andreasen at Inland Breast & Body.
Boob Camp 2010 is your chance to be the bust you can be! If you don't know the drill by now, every day this week, we'll be in the KCAL parking lot in Redlands between 7am and 8am, as Stu, Tiffany & Jimbo drill our raw-cruits mercilessly in order to find a fitting Boob Camp champion.
This is Erica. You might recognize her. For some odd reason, Erica doesn't need to win Boob Camp. She does, however, like to play with the Shake Weight, and you better believe we love watching Erica with the Shake Weight.
Jimbo loves to gaze lovingly into Erica's, uh, eyes.
Meet Stephanie. She likes to pose…as we'll show you in a moment.
Kristy is one of Tiffany's three girl crushes this year. She our six-foot tall athlete, meaning she's taller than Tiff.
This is Suzette. She's only 5′ 2″, meaning she's still taller than Jimbo.
Every year, we have a tattoed freak, and this year it's Rachel.  Our favorite tat is the one just below her waistline…oh sure, it's hiding the name of an ex-boyfriend.
Here's another Rachael, but she's got an extra A in her name to go with her A cups.
Jennelle is the first raw-cruit to score a nickname.  She's now Jessica Rabbit.
Tatiana has the hot librarian look, and Jimbo wants to check out her book nook.
Joy has the full-on California girl accent. Jimbo loves accents.
This year's repeat offender – and there's always one – is 2008 raw-cruit Belva. Belva took 2009 off because she knows that repeat offenders always get the most abuse. And now she's back…
Esmeralda has Jimbo's favorite hair this year, and you know how much he likes to pull hair.
And finally, we have Creepy, who will not be winning this year's Boob Camp. Creepy has this one weird power, though.
Uh oh. Here comes Stephanie, who likes to pose, and apparently likes to kiss, which can only mean one thing…
Creepy scores again! How, we'll never know.

But neither realizes the lengths to which they will go to gain respect or that, in the end, nothing they can doincluding murderwill get them what they are searching for.

Mary Kirk Kelly porcelain vegetable collection – 11
We find the most interesting Mary Engelbreit. Here is the best deal we found for the Mary Kirk Kelly porcelain vegetable collection – 11 for sale on the Internet.
|If you want to see its description or find similar items currently for sale please click here.
Mary Kirk Kelly porcelain vegetable collection – 11 Picture and Description:
Ceramic Artist Mary Kirk Kelly of Fairhope, Alabama, produces these amazing porcelain vegetables & fruits. Both her artistry and painstaking attention to detail are obvious. Each is made by hand from earthenware or porcelain clay in liquid form (slip). Ms. Kelly hand sculpts the greenware, then paints it before bisque firing. After firing, she brushes or sponges metallic oxide colorants to capture the realism so highly prized by collectors. Each piece is signed by Ms. Kelly. They range in size from 3" to 6." Generally her work sells in the $175.00 to $300.00 range (per piece), depending on the intricacy of the design. Her larger vegetables sell for 800.00-$2300.00! These look beautiful in a curio, on a windowsill, etc. . People WILL try to eat them, however. I would prefer to sell the entire group together. I have set a reasonable reserve and hope that I can sell this as a lot rather than break up the set. The pieces are as follows: Asparagus Cucumber Yellow squash mushroom carrot red pepper artichoke onion yellow banana pepper pea.....corn... All are perfect! No chips, flea bites, scratches, fading, etc. Please note my 100% eBay rating...you will not be disappointed! Thanks for looking and bidding!

The psychiatric and ambulatory course of 21 older chronic schizophrenic
patients who sustained hip fractures was studied prospectively, and their
walking ability after the fractures was compared to that of 25
nonpsychiatric hip fracture patients. Although the schizophrenic patients
were younger when the hip fractures occurred, their recuperation and
ambulatory outcome were significantly worse. The psychiatric course was
assessed with a standardized rating scale that was administered 6 months
and 1 year after the fractures and compared to similar ratings done before
the fractures. Significant mental deterioration was found at 6 months after
the fractures, with no further changes later.

|You are in: Museum of History >> Hall of North and South Americans >> Leonard Calvert
CALVERT, Leonard, governor of Maryland, born about 1606; died 9 June, 1647. He was brother of Cecil, second Lord Baltimore, and sent by him to :found the Maryland colony and act as its governor. The expedition, consisting of two small vessels, the "Ark" and the "Dove," with about 200 men, sailed from Cowes on 22 November, 1633. After encountering some rough weather they reached Point Comfort, Virginia, on 24 February, 1634, and on 25 March landed on an island in the Potomac, which they named St. Clement's, and there Massachusetts was celebrated by the two Jesuit priests that accompanied the expedition. Two days later they founded a City, of which scarcely a trace remains, and which they called St. Mary's. Calvert found his authority opposed at the outset by William Claiborne, who had occupied Kent island in Chesapeake bay, arrow began hostilities against the settlers. On 23 April, 1635, Claiborne's force, which consisted only of one armed pinnace and fourteen men, was captured; he fled to Virginia, and his property was afterward declared forfeited. Governor Calvert wished to carry out his brother's design and introduce the feudal system into the province. Fortunately the charter contained a provision making the consent of the freemen necessary to all laws, and the original idea of creating an aristocracy was never carried out. Governor Calvert visited England in 1643 to consult with his brother. The condition of the province was somewhat unsettled, and, in view of the troubles between the king and parliament, there was probably some fear that the royalist proprietor might have his power taken from him. In the governor's absence, Brent, his deputy, incautiously seized a parliamentary ship and imprisoned its commander, Richard Ingle ; but in 1644 Ingle escaped, obtained letters of marque from parliament, returned, and, joining Calvert's old enemy, Claiborne, made trouble in the colony, so that when the governor returned in September, 1644, he found all in confusion. After some fighting, Calvert was forced to take refuge in Virginia, where, after an appeal for aid had been refused by the governor and council, he finally succeeded in raising a force, and, in 1647, regained possession of his province. A few months later he died, naming Thomas Green as his successor.

Is Your Life Going Nowhere? - Free EBook
Is your life going nowhere? Are you tired, fed-up and stressed? Is it an effort to get out of bed and face the day? Do you often wonder if there is a point to life at all?
The answer is, yes, there is a point to it all but when we have lost touch with our inner self, and unfortunately some of us never were, we are like a boat without a rudder, all over the place! And so matters go wrong in our life. We may end up in the wrong job, the wrong relationship, even living in the wrong place. It's as though we just drift into things, or make decisions with logical precision, our intuition has gone. Or sometimes we sail along on a tide of emotion, ending up hurt and finding no comfort.
And how often do we stop to think, 'is this what we really want? Is this what life is supposed to be about?'
There are answers to all these questions and they can be found, FREE, in my e-book, Soul Journey, which is a self-help book on personal and spiritual growth. There are simple exercises to show you how to regain your emotional balance and inner strength, to allow your intuition to flow, so that you understand not only what is happening to you and why, but have the wisdom to do something about it.
There are 66 x A4 information filled pages and all you have to do to receive your free copy is to visit the website, then email me and it will be sent to you as an attachment.
So don't just sit there feeling miserable, request a copy today and put some meaning into your life!

We handle All Types of Accidents & Injury Cases on
a No Recovery-No Fee or Cost Basis.
County ordinances can often be some of the most difficult local laws to adequately follow. For starters, they are particular to the county they are passed in. One incorporation can have a law against something and it may be perfectly legal in another. This creates a lot of confusion for residents and those passing through alike. Add in the fact that these ordinances are much easier to change than state or federal law, and it's an environment ripe for accidental law-breakage.
Most individuals in Pasco County don't mean to break the law. That being said, a number of people routinely break certain ordinances. With better public education, the residents can understand what these laws are so that they don't accidentally break another.
Commercial Use of Right-of-Way
Commercial usage of right away is when an individual and a motorist exchange items alongside a public road or intersection, often for the monetary benefit of at least one party. This is illegal in Pasco County. People can picket, advertise, and spin signs along public roads, but when something physical is exchanged between a motorist and someone on the street it becomes illegal. Meaning vendors personally distributing newspapers or squeegeeing cars (as an example) are prohibited.
Illegal Dumping
Illegal dumping can be easily defined as littering, but it is also a bit more than that. Littering is often connoted to mean dumping something on the side of the road while driving. However, illegal dumping refers to this and the action of dumping items into lakes, wooded areas, and other non-proper trash receptacles without a permit. When tried for illegal dumping, the burden of proving that the individual had permission to dump at that location understandably falls on the person themselves.
Inoperative/ Unlicensed Vehicles
Unlicensed vehicles here don't refer to automobiles on the road without a tag or permit. This law actually refers to those individuals who leave vehicles untagged and abandoned. This can either be in a public place or on a private residence. Inoperative vehicles cannot just be left outside for the element to dictate what happens as it can often prove to be a road hazard.
Noise Violations
In order to cut back on noise pollution, Pasco county has enacted a law mandating that certain noises are prohibited at certain times of the day. This is ensure that individuals aren't acting as a public nuisance. For industrial noise, it can not exceed 72 decibels. For commercial noise, that drops down to 66.
Overgrown Grass
Aesthetics are extremely important to residents of Pasco county. Because of this, there is an ordinance in place mandating that residential areas cannot have grass exceeding 12 inches high. Nor can they have decaying plant matter visible or an unsecured swimming pool.

New Photokina 2010 Situation Room is now live on top of every page
We are just one week away from the Photokina 2010 trade show, so it is time to launch our "Photokina Situation Room". This year we have gone with a more compact style. You will find it at the top of every blog page. It stretches and compresses to fit all available space!
If you are reading this on a smart phone or other mobile device with a small screen, be sure to check the mobile version of this blog (m.1001nc.com) or the free full-text RSS feed.
The "Situation Room" is a summary of the latest happenings and it can help people easily and quickly catch up with the latest rumors and news as many people with assignments, projects, classes, real-world jobs, etc, cannot keep up with every twist and turn during the Photokina madness.
To get the latest updates, click on the "RUMORS" and "NEWS" links in the table - these that take you to the latest rumors and news/annnouncements summary pages. The "Situation Room" text-block itself is updated manually.
If there are any issues or problems or objections to this, please let us know in the comments or using the contact form.
To make room for this, we have temporarily re-arranged other items in the page template. The "Situation Room" will be removed after the Photokina 2010 trade show ends. The Reader Picture Showcase is still on the front page, it is now below the first two posts. The ad-block was also moved down, it is now below the first four posts.

Mind Over Matter Solutions found on this site
Dr. Payton approaches challenges — in the Asheville, North Carolina area — using Hypnosis, Self-Hypnosis, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Acupressure Hypnosis (creating Emotional Balance Points), Past Life Regression, Content (Writing) Coaching (oral story-sharing to paper). On this site you will find:

- (if you enjoy printed reports) astrology and numerology reports
A bit about Dr. Payton and her Training
Dr. Payton – an experiencer of a childhood household with alcohol, drug, mental and physical abuse, and parents divorcing at an early age – learned to read situations quickly enough to manifest positive outcomes over the long-term. Her life experiences resulted in a fascination with how people's minds work and her eclectic (mainstream, metaphysical and holistic) studies then evolved over the past 25+ years around understanding core needs and the habits adopted to satisfy those needs.
"We co-explore inspiration points of why we move in particular directions, co-facilitate re-framing ideas connected to emotional duress (moving toward "zero" impact), co-discover memories of success to replace or collapse unproductive patterns, and interrupt anchored patterns connected to fears, phobias and pain to create calm," Dr. Payton explains.
With Dr. Payton, your mind is the key component. Her mind over matter solutions specialties are — practicing in the Asheville, North Carolina area — Doctor of Clinical Hypnosis and Ph.D. with concentration in Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy; Self-Hypnosis; EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique); NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming); Acupressure Hypnosis (creating Emotional Balancing Points); Past Life Regression; Sensory-based Writing and Coaching (oral story-sharing to paper) that also pulls from her Graduate studies work in English (Rhetoric, Composition, and Professional Writing), Undergraduate degree in Communication Arts, and experiences writing seven self-help books; and independent studies to assess personalities using Astrology, Numerology, and Birth Order to more quickly tap into individual needs (see specifics at "Sessions"). All Michelle's professional training play a part in her work to co-facilitate building self-confidence, achieving individual voice, and creating effective collaborations professionally and personally (see "About Michelle" on more background).
Dr. Payton is a member of the National Board of Professional and Ethical Standards, has fulfilled mastery requirements for the Society of Neuro-Linguistic Programming™, and is an active member and founder of the Asheville Area Wholistic & Integrative Professionals.
Remember that whatever tools you use on your path you are the key to your well being.

By Yereth Rosen
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - More than a third of the inhabitants of a tiny native village in Alaska have been evacuated after flooding caused by jammed river ice swamped homes and public facilities, officials said on Tuesday.
Fifty-three residents of Crooked Creek, a Yupik Eskimo and Athabascan Indian village of 137 people on the Kuskokwim River in southwestern Alaska, were taken to drier ground at a nearby mine, said Jeremy Zidek, spokesman for Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
The river flood has poured water and ice chunks into about 70 percent of the village's homes, some of which were knocked off their foundations, Zidek said.
The flooding also caused a power outage, submerged the access road to the village airport and damaged communications equipment, state officials said.
No injuries have been reported, Zidek said.
The extent of damage is difficult to determine for now, he said. "The water is still high. It's hard to get that damage assessment."
Once water levels fall and people can return to Crooked Creek, a disaster-response team will start that analysis, he said.
River overflows in parts of Alaska are common in spring, when large chunks of melting ice move downstream and sometimes collect in jumbled piles that block water flow.
A rapid spring thaw in 2009 caused record flooding along the Yukon River near the Canadian border.
Crooked Creek is the site hardest-hit by Alaska spring flooding so far this year.
Evacuated residents remain at the Donlin Creek Mine, about 10 miles north of the village, after being flown there by mine employees starting on Monday, Zidek said.
State emergency officials are on alert for more flooding to come, he said.
The National Weather Service has issued flood watches and warnings for the entire lower Kuskokwim River. And the Yukon River, which is longer than the Kuskokwim and holds far more ice, has also started its spring melt.
"We're still very early in the season," Zidek said.

Justin Bieber
I'm firmly of the belief that sometimes the best plans, ideas, and collaborations happen at nighttime when you're out and about, and not behind a computer or on the other end of the phone. One such project was the result of a bar bet between my friend Bonnie Vanderwater and music writer and editor Seth Combs. If you know Seth from his time as the CityBeat music editor, you know that Seth has made friends and enemies alike because he has very strong opinions and isn't shy when it comes to sharing those views. When Bonnie dared Seth to finally cut his hair, he objected. But when the stakes were raised that we'd raise money for his favorite charity if he agreed to cut his hair like Justin Bieber, we got Seth to agree. All donations must be on-hand and we must have $300 before the scissors touch Mr. Combs hair, and if we reach $700, Seth will also shave his mustache and beard. We will have some guest entertainment by Long Live Logos, Gregory Page, Rob Deez and Josh Damigo, and invite everyone to come to Hipster Happy Hour to enjoy the fun.

That's would explain Jaina's crying. We're all babies! In all seriousness, if this happens to be true, Blizzard will have made a very interesting twist. Evolution is pretty much the hope of becoming more and ascending to godhood. Human nature is the want that WE will become better, but Titan nature is the want for SOMETHING ELSE to become better than they are. It makes them calculating, void of emotion, and self-less at the same time.

There are quite a good number of engineering colleges in Nepal that provide engineering courses in various parts of the country. Most of these engineering Colleges in Nepal admit the local students through an entrance test. However foreign students are admitted on the basis of their performance in a personal interview. Candidates, to be eligible for admission to the engineering colleges in Nepal, should at least pass the Intermediate in Science or diploma in engineering or its equivalent.
Architecture, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics and Communication, Electrical and Electronics, Energy Engineering, Civil and Rural Engineering are some of the popular engineering courses in Nepal. While the B.E. Architecture courses are of 5 years duration, other bachelor degree courses are of 4 years duration. Some engineering colleges in Nepal also offer Masters degree courses. The Nepal Engineering College, for example, offers Master's degree courses in Construction Management and Natural Resource Management.
On this page, we would be providing a list of engineering colleges in Nepal. This list would include both the private engineering colleges and government engineering colleges of Nepal. So far as we are concerned, the list is correct and updated. But if you come across any discrepancy, please do inform us. We would appreciate any such move that would improve the quality of the site.

Extremely dumb and unsatisfying…hope they won't do one of these again.
Not a very satisfying puzzle at all.
OK, 6D (really UP) and 31A were new words for me, which is nice. I like increasing my vocabulary. This was certainly more challenging without the answer lengths.
There's one place where my bars are not exactly symmetrical, so I'm wondering if I've screwed up. I have 2D (really UP) as a 7-letter word. Correct?
34A was my last entry. Great clue!
Meg: 2U is a 6-letter word. I agree with you about learning new words. In addition to the ones you mentioned, 7U was also new to me. Did you notice how many of the answers were in keeping with the theme of the picture?
For thematic reasons I changed my name this week. I needed a little geology help from google to finish this one off. Another very enjoyable variety cryptic. Thanks!
Clever theme — I learned the same new words that Meg did, as well as my PERENTIE of the month, 29U — but the greedy cryptic puzzler in me was disappointed that so much of the grid was left blank. I wanted more clues, more fill, more, more, more. Does that make me a bad person?
And man, Steve, did you notice how all those bonus theme answers only went across? 4A, 9A, 17A, 31A, 32A, 34A — possibly even 14A — that's some Gorski-level design. Plus the bonus instruction at 1A, reminding us what this puzzle involves.
What else can I say? This was an extremely ACTIVE puzzle.
I was surprised by the number of incorrect answers I guessed for 27A, including A Miffed Norm, Fan of Dimmer, Firm of Admen and some even more peculiar ones before I finally got the right answer.
Speaking of 27A, if "mental" is he real clue and "madmen" suggests an anagram, then I don't know what to do with "if remedied", Nor, do I get anywhere with a 3-word anagram. Or, maybe "mental outlook" is the real clue.
Steve: Thanks. Just a tweak with tenses and all is good.
ON: 27A is an anagram, but the indicator is "remedied".
Meg, even with the help of an anagram finder I'm still stuck on 27A. Am I wrong in thinking that the third letter has to be "a" (because of my answer to 24U that I thought was correct?
I LOVED this one….beautiful, aesthetically pleasing and unique. I couldnt disagree more with Jeffrey. This is the kind of puzzle we need MORE of.
ON: Yes, the 3rd letter is "A". Look at HHH's comment above and play with the letters. The second word is a preposition.
We finished the puzzle on Friday night, and have an answer for 23 A [Guy's face described by unkind feminine name], but don't know why the answer works. Can someone give a hint for solving 23 A? We can't rationalize our answer.
I'm going a little "mental" (batty) trying to get 27. I've tried anagrams of word combinations using outlook, for, madmen and if. I realize how helpful it is to know the number of letters in the answers.
PP: "Described by" means surrounded by. "Feminine name" is the definition. You'll need a synonym for one of the words.
To Meg: We have the "feminine name"; it appears that the "synonym" surrounds an example.
To Meg: We can't find a use for the clue word "unkind".
Another pile of krypto dung from the Hex gods of groupie puzzledom ( a crowd I estimate at 2-3 dozen as refugees of Atlantic Monthly and a few bored Brits)….btw John F, I finished in 15 minuttes,
As with all of these, a very weak genre, inconsistent, semi-intuitive, and satisfying to the pseudo-intelleftual type who think abstuseness is erudition
WSJ, please no more of these….sell them to Mother Jones or give them back to Atlantic Monthly or better yet, just gtive them to Financdial Times.
PP, you are thinking too much, look at 4A and 26U. I need help with 31A. Any hints?
To Anne: 31A is a compound word; one part goes with "zany" and one part goes with "piece of dialog".
PP, got it, thanks did my hint help you?
To Anne: Absolutely! I really mean it!
It's a little bit of a stretch, perhaps, but I was thinking 5U was also one of the theme answers.
Loved it! Solved the two unclued answers before I got 31 A. I may have heard that word before, but it didn't come to the top.
I used to agree with Jeffrey on these puzzles, but it irritated me that I couldn't figure them out. So I bought the Atlantic Cryptic Puzzles book and Cox and Rathvon's Cryptic Crosswords and was able to solve the last two WSJ cryptic puzzles with minimal help. Now I really like these.
Does anyone know of other cryptic puzzle books out there that I might get to feed my new addiction?
What a waste of time. This COULD have been an acrostic….
The Second Sunday NYT puzzle is a cryptic….by someone I've never heard of.
Still stuck on 31A and 29U though I have 33A and 6U. Any help???
Oh, got 29U. Now only 31A remaining
Should have waited before posting. Got 31A but hadn't heard the word before. Had to google using the first 6 letters (were sure of those)! … On the whole, didn't like the puzzle much. Too many blanks and too "specialized" (what if you are not into geology).
Another cryptic set, which you can probably acquire through Amazon, is Henry Hook's. Apparently he can't find a publisher so hasn't done any anthologies for several years, but I've found him to be one of the best cryptic cluers in captivity. He was the subject of a New Yorker profile several years ago. A real polymath.
I takes all kinds, i Guess. I don't bother doing the WSJ acrostics but look forward eagerly to the cryptics. And Patrick Berry's puzzles are the berries.
Well I think I have everything but 6 up.
How many letters?
I also did not care for this one too much.
Hey, JaxsonPSU: Try the cryptic puzzles from "The New Yorker". I got both volumes from Amazon and they are lots of fun. Someone posted earlier that Monika Zook is a pseudonym for HEX, and there are lots of Zook puzzles in the books. Like you, I'm new to these and eager to improve my skills.
Didn't like it so much because there were so few "cross-checks" to help you be sure you had the right thing. I won't be surprised if I find some mistakes in mine when I see the solution. And I suspect I won't be the only one to do so. At least the cryptic clues were easier this time. And I would still prefer this over an acrostic even tho I like acrostics.
aka Lance but I am also stuck on 6 up and not totally certain of 33 although I think I am correct on that one.
6U has thirteen letters (one word). If you have 33A, you can get 6U, though it was a new word to me, also.
Thanks Malibu
I am pretty that was the first and last time I will use that work.
Bob Lundegaard:
I'm right with you. Love variety cryptics and Berry puzzles. The darkest week of the month is acrostic week.
this was a particularly good cryptic from Cox-Rathvon.
Hook's variety cryptics as well as his variety word grids (e.g. Twisted Crosswords) are worth finding. Hope he gets something out on the market again soon.
Was anyone else disappointed in the "picture"? I was all the way there except for 6U and 33A and STILL needed Google. I had hoped the "picture" would be helpful, but at least to me, it wasn't. And I take issue with the careless reference to symmetry in the instructions — I wrongly assumed crossword-symmetry, and only after a dozen clues did I figure out that it was lateral.
Sorry I cant agree with you, cpinchicago. I never once thought about what KIND of symmetry was involved…I just knew that there WAS symmetry. I think as one starts solving, one sees pretty quickly how the bars are fitting bilaterally, especially from solving the Across clues. I also thought the image added a crucial, and often missing, aesthetic touch to puzzle solving. I really liked this one.
Finally got 6U by googling my solution to 33 A. Still stuck 23A. Missing two letters or would be finished.
Did anybody here attempt this month's Harper's Cryptic ("The Story of O")? Reminded me of a recent New York Times puzzle, but fairly solvable affair — though I'm still trying to justify my answers for 29D and 25A before I submit my entry (knowing, as I do, that I won't win). Those of you looking for additional cryptic puzzles could do worse than Maltby — once you start doing those, others will seem easier by comparison.
Aaron: One of his easier ones, I thought–the February puzzle nearly did me in. 29D is STAB ("bats" upward); 25A is SECTARIAN, an anagram of "ascertain."
Thanks Malibu — I couldn't parse 29D, though I couldn't think of anything other than STAB that fit the S_AB that I had. As for 25A, I was off-track; I would've put ASCERTAIN into an anagram machine (since it was nine letters and I was stuck), but I'd held off, because I've never seen "characters" alone indicate an anagram. And yes, one of his easier ones, but it's the little stretches of the imagination that Maltby so often takes (his "cheating") that makes me both recommend and warn solvers of.
In any case, I'm assuming you remember the Nothnagel that I'm referring to?
As for the Hex puzzle here; anybody else have questions/need help? It's a Monday, so if you're stuck, we can give some hints. The more clues that you figure out — whether you solve them yourself or simply understand the parsing — the easier (and more fun) future puzzles will be.
yes Aaron, I need help…I'm not as good as all of you…tho I do see myself getting better at these as time goes on. I'm stuck 13a, 17a,22 a, 5u,3u,4u, to name a few…any help would be appreciated.
Julie: For 13A, think of it this way: "Movement of a sonata"–that's the straight definition. Wordplay consists of "repeats initially" (the first letter of repeats) + ON + a synonym for "the first note" (think Julie Andrews). And there you go!
17A is very nice. "with jagged edges" is the definition. Put a synonym for "make a mistake" in a synonym for "stuff".
We are all getting better as time goes on, though I sometimes have doubts about my short term memory. Oh, well.
Julie, here are some clues for the others:
22A – Political terms (e.g., Democrat, Republican) are often abbreviated (D, R, etc.); for this reason, clues with words like those are often charades, i.e., made up of multiple smaller parts. As for the rest of the charade, remember that the other components may have anagrams or containers.
3U – Always try to identify crossword clues, as they may either be the actual answer or part of the cryptic charade. Stuff like "Cleopatra's love" is hard to make cryptic on its own; if you take it straight, who is it?
4U – Hex is very good as making misleading surfaces; never take them at face value. Keeping in mind what I said about 3U above, there isn't much you can do with "Universal Studio's head" as a crossword clue, so consider how you might break it up. Note that words like "head," "face," "front," "back," and other directional terms are often cryptic indicators suggesting that you take the first or last letter of the preceding word.
5U – What might you call the handle of a jug?
Hope this helps, and I hope you keep coming back for more!
I'm late this week, but agree with Grady on the aesthetics. This puzzle prompted me to review the different types of summetry. Reading the above, I don't see any comments about the instructions to "show where (all) the words begin and end". I think so darkening the grid lines was intended to be a part of the picture described by 6U, based upon my understanding of the topic. Significantly,t 6U is "unbroken" per the stereotypical picture. I probably would have agreed with Jeffery if I had rushed through this puzzle and only focussed on the words.
thanks Aaron and Meg! that helped and confirmed that i was thinking in the right direction!!
@George F: summetry … summitry … it fits the theme!
I came back here this afternoon and noticed that Aaron and Malibu had started a Harper's discussion. This was the quickest Maltby solve for me in as long as I can remember. Partly because I started at the bottom and quickly got the 37A destination of the zigzag line, and that immedately gave me 22A. With all that help, the rest of the cryptic clue answers came quite easily.
The construction styles of REM, Jr. and HEX are so different, but both are so enjoyable.
Help, help !!!!! I cannot get the answer to 31 A. All other answers are filled in except for the "theme" answers 33A and 6U. I was leaving those for last, obviously. Can anyone at least give me a clue? Thanx
Le Bert, 31A is a tricky word, related thematically to the two you don't have, 33A and 6U. The image of the puzzle should help you recognize the use of "rock" referred to in the clue (i.e., not the film, not the music). The rest is simply figuring out where the breaks are between the crossword clue and the charade components. Can "zany piece of dialogue" be separated into two clues? How about "rocky feature"?
Hope this helps — I can be more direct if you're still stuck.
I got 3u but do not understand the second half of the clue. Still can't get 23A.
Lynn: The second half of the clue, "the opposite," is the definition. For 23A, the first letter of "guy" is inserted into a word meaning "unkind."
Thank you Malibu. I didn't realize that I was missing the last letter in 3U (should have studied the summitry). Your hint for 23A cleared up both answers.
Steve B Very well played….
It just occurred to me that I may have gotten through the current Harper's puzzle quickly because I only played nine O's. I enjoyed the round and wasn't winded at all.
If Hex had constructed this month's Harper's puzzle, the letter in the lower left corner would have been a tee.

Adding one at the opposite end. 16 year old "adopted" daughter.
November 19, 2010
How do we "parent" a 16 year old girl? My family is taking in a 16 year old girl to be a new member of our family. She's an amazing young woman in a tough situation. No behavior or academic issues (I taught her in 8th grade, she babysits for us regularly), some emotional issues (most likely due to her environment). We're going to go through the process of temporary custody, so this is not a question about "the system" or "legality". This is a question of family dynamics. We have other children in the house who are super excited as well, but our oldest is 7 and we have no idea how to come up with rules, routines, and boundaries for a 16 year old. Of course we'll have to come up with what will work for us, but what kind of things should we be thinking about? We're already talking about curfew, bedtime!!!!?????, computer use, etc. What should we be thinking about that we might not be. Any help from those with teens or those who have adopted older kids would be appreciated.

Just a couple thoughts....
If she's responsible enough that you let her babysit regularly, I'd involve her in the process of setting these rules. It'll also be easier to hold her to rules she helps develop.
As for your list of Curfew, bedtime, and computer use, you might also add driving, dating and household chores. Will she now be expected to babysit for free? Its hard to anticipate EVERY possible situation, but I think that's a good start.

Is she going to have authority over your children on an ongoing basis, or just when you're out of the house, or just when you specifically say so? How should she make her material needs known to you (tampons, new jeans, lunch money, etc.)? What constitutes a "need" versus a "want"? Is it OK for her to give you a wish list for her birthday and Christmas? Are you planning to teach her to drive, and/or let her use your car? Should she be looking for a job, volunteering, etc.? Does she have plans for next summer? Is she on birth control? Do you keep alcohol in your house? Will she be helping out with meals, with giving kids baths, with taking out the trash, washing the car, raking leaves, shoveling snow? What's the plan if she's out somewhere at 2am and finds herself feeling uncomfortable and needing a rescue? What happens if she does get a bad grade?
Do you have veto power over boyfriends? Do you want her to hold sleepovers at your place? Will you be giving her a cellphone, and if so, will she have limits on texting, have to give it up overnight, etc.? Can she have friends over when you're not home? Will she have a debit card or student credit card of some sort? What happens if she has an argument with one of the kids? Will she be allowed to lock her bedroom door? If you have pets, will she have an equal share of the labor involved? If she wants a cat or fish or chicken, what will your answer be? Is she in school activities (band, drama, track, etc.), do you want her to be, do you want her to tell you when stuff happens so you can attend, how is she going to get there, are there any "deal breakers" where said activities could be taken out of her life (like getting a C in math or something?)
Does she know how to use a fire extinguisher, a checkbook? Does she already know all the people who are likely to be visiting your house (cousins, friends, grandparents?) Is she going to be on call for picking up the kids from school in an emergency? If she wants to watch something on Pay Per View, can she order it using your remote or should she ask first? Can she be on your Netflix queue, or get on your Blockbuster account? Can she go to R-rated movies? Does she have to be on time for dinner every night? If she wants to bring someone else for dinner, how much warning does she have to give you? Does she need to show you her homework each night, review it with you once a week, or just wait till you see her report card? Is she on track for college (signed up for the SAT this June) and does she need to spend a certain amount of time working on that?
Who gets priority access to the bathroom(s) in the morning? Does she have to shower at least once per (day/week/year)? Is there a certain time everyone has to be up, for prayer or breakfast or "if you're not in my car you have to walk?" What happens if she gets sick in the middle of the school day? How much freedom will she have over her schedule on Saturday and Sunday? Does she have to finish homework before watching TV, before going to the mall? Will she be continuing to interact with her existing social network, or do you need to help her find new friends? What are the rules about contact with her previous caregivers? What are the rules for sharing your address, phone numbers, full names, with people in person, with people selling stuff, with strangers on the internet? If you're near an international border, can she cross it? Without you there? What about wacky spring vacation driving trips across country? What about camping trips with no adult supervision? Does she have a passport?
Do you have a policy of disclosure of major issues (I'm thinking here of things like "if you're feeling really sad, tell me way before you're at the point of running away") and of not hiding things (like bullying, sexually explicit text messages, creepy feelings about the gym teacher, etc.?) Have you created a safe space for her to tell you things without direct confrontation?
I assume here that she's already comfortable with your home, that she's cooked there, that she knows where the toilet paper is kept, she is OK with using stuff like your TV, that she has fairly normal personal habits (I have met 16-year-olds who seem well-adjusted, and then learned they don't know how to shower, do laundry, or recognize serious safety hazards) and that she has well-established personal boundaries with the entire family, especially any adult males. I also assume you've given her lots of empowering information, such as but not limited to your pastor's name/phone number (if applicable,) the address of the nearest Planned Parenthood, the Boys Town national hotline, and so forth.

No problem! I have four younger siblings (two teenagers, two in their twenties) and switched between my divorced parents' houses and my college dorms endlessly during my teenage years. Toilet paper location angst is something no kid should have to face.

And to tag onto SMPA's list: Does she have any plans for post-highschool? It would be good to know what she expects, and what (if any) preparations have been made (money? coursework decisions? extra-curricular training?) for the post-high-school years, since they will be arriving with a vengeance, like, next year or the year after. It would be kind of awkward to have her get to end of her school years and either not know what to do with herself or be totally shocked that no one had told her there was no trust fund to send her to college with.

wow I would almost print that answer from SMPA out to use as a template. also I very very much concur please have her be a participant in developing these parameters, she's old enough to be given some respect, freedom and privacy and the opportunity to take on some adult responsibilities with it.

I like the suggestion above about inviting her to discuss it. You have final say, but you get to start an open discussion about her place in the family.
I'm guessing she may not have had healthy boundaries set by her previous family. It may be a great relief just to have people who care about what she does.
I would recommend considering: how late she can use the computer, how late she can be out, whether she needs to call you to let you know where she is, how she can rely on you for health- and sex-related issues if she needs you.
But most of all, that you're loving, fair and willing to talk about anything.

How much access to the computer will she have, and how much access to HER access will you have? Will she have a private computer or will the family computer be in the living room?
This is what a lot of my friends with teens that age are dealing with, how much internet autonomy to let them have. The trend among my friends with kids that age is towards computers in public areas of the house (with a lot of fretting about phones that can surf). Generally the parents require that their kids "friend" them on social networks and keep tabs that way (some say that hiding posts from parents results in grounding, if the parents find out). Some require theoretical access to their kids' entire internet life (e-mail passwords, etc.) but I don't know any who actually use it ... they seem to feel it keeps their kids from serious misbehavior if they know mom MIGHT look.
Internet life is so fraught these days for kids that age.

Very interesting that you'd post this. A close family friend had a similar experience. They were already parents of adult children when they met the young woman who they later adopted - their youngest is about a decade, give or take, older than the young woman. The Mom was the adopted daughter's teacher in high school, and the daughter (who was having a very very difficult time at home - she was essentially abandoned and is no longer in touch with her birth family) asked if they would take her in.
They had some concerns about it, but ultimately did take her in. I don't remember the details of how it happened, but it was processed through the foster care system, there was training and a case worker involved, etc.
They are a couple who were pretty firm with their boys, but also in many ways laid back in their attitude towards parenting. As a consequence, the kids excelled in school (and in life) and were able to express themselves creatively.
My memory is that they decided to be fairly laid back with her as well. They sat down and had a conversation about rules coming in, including general house rules that she wasn't aware of (as a previous non-occupant, basic things like this is how we do laundry, this is what we expect when you use the kitchen, etc). They also set out several basic behavioral expectations, telling her that since she had asked if she could live with them as their daughter, that they would have the same expectations of her that they did of any of their other kids. They never treated her any differently than any of the other kids.
I think what they chose to be more rigid about was related to school (studying for school, learning is important) and safety (curfew was 11, they decided that at 16, bedtime wasn't something they were going to determine). They opted to be very laid back about other things. I know, for example, that a year after she moved in she dyed her hair a shocking color of purple right before Thanksgiving (when the somewhat conservative grandparents were about to arrive), and the parents didn't say anything. The grandparents suggested grounding. The parents maintained that she could dye her hair whatever she wanted.
Ditto for when she got a non-conventional piercing. They had some issues with foster care about the piercing (foster care wanted them to LAY DOWN THE LAW, they said, "Please, don't make this the place we have to draw the line, let it be something that is actually significant to her well-being") but they didn't argue with her. They just said, if you're getting X piercing, one of us is coming with you for the piercing for health and safety reasons. She got the piercing, end of story.
A bunch of years later - she is their adopted kid, and very energetically part of their family. She calls them Mom and Dad, and the conservative grandparents Grandma and Grandpa, and the whole family has adopted her as a family member - albeit one who arrived a little late in her life. She is very happy, and very well-adjusted. She asked her Dad recently why he didn't stop her from dying her hair (she went through dozens of colors during her teens) or doing the piercing. He laughed and said, "Because it didn't hurt you, and you were experimenting with and having fun. Your brothers went through the same phase." And he hugged her.
I'm not sure if any of this is helpful to you, but I just want to let you know that this isn't unique, and that other people have gone through similar experiences. And that this may be the best thing you ever do, giving this (older) child a chance for a happy, healthy home experience. You don't mention what her earlier life is like, but it is never too late to find role models to model your future relationships and human interactions on. And it sounds like she has found a wonderful family that will embrace her and simultaneously demonstrate healthy ways to relate to others.
The only piece of advice I'd give you is to decide, if she is moving in, that she
part of the family. She is not a guest, she is one of your kids. That is good, because it means she has a family. It also means responsibilities and the expectation that you guys, as the parents, are the adults that are in charge. Talk to her ahead of time about this, and try to be consistent.
Best of luck.

Be prepared for the possibility that she will test you a bit to see if you reject her for misbehaving. A lot of children, and many teens, will push their parents to make sure that they will be loved even if they make their parents mad. It may not happen, but if she does misbehave or seem to be testing you in this way, be prepared for it so that you're not just surprised and confused but instead are ready to jump right back in with a "your behavior needs to change, and we're not going anywhere."

You have my admiration, you're undertaking a huge task.
I would encourage you to identify a counselor/mentor/whatever to meet with on a regular basis to give you feedback, suggest course corrections, and affirm what you're doing right....
Hang in there... and, be thankful she's not 14! :)

A data point: I didn't have a real "bed time" after the age of 8-10. I had to be in my room doing quiet things that didn't bother others, but that was it. Lights out and the time I would actually go to sleep was for me to determine years before I was even a teenager.

Re: SMPA's list.
If I was 16, and my new mom sat me down to discuss hundreds of new rules and routines that would govern every aspect of my life -- from "can I lock my bedroom door" to "how do I let you know when I need new jeans" to "how do I interact with people selling stuff" to "will you be vetoing my boyfriends" to the all-important "what happens if I ever want to keep a chicken" -- well I'd think she was a crazy control freak.
Honestly, many of those things are in the cross-that-bridge-when-you-come-to-it category. Especially the chicken rule.

Seconding dontjumplarry. Considering that the girl does not have behavior issues, I don't see the need to set rules for every little thing, especially not ahead of time. I understand the urge considering that she is a new addition to your family and you want to be prepared, but still. 16 is two years away from 18, a.k.a. legal adulthood. I don't think you need to limit her
computer time

Privacy is a huge deal to teens. Make sure New Daughter has her own space (ideally her own room, if you can swing it). She also needs her own bathroom space, for personal care needs (tampons, razors, etc.). It would be a good time to talk to the younger kids about the concept of privacy and personal space, and that they should always knock before entering New Big Sister's room, and ask permission before using New Big Sister's stuff. You and your spouse(?) should respect her privacy too. My 15yo daughter HATES when my husband opens the door to her room without knocking first, even though 99% of the time she's just reading a book or whatever. It's the principle of the thing!
Also, you've probably already thought of this, but make sure her school knows about the change in her circumstances. Will you now have access to her grades? Many schools have an online grade reporting system so parents can check grades at any time. Will you have access to that?
Good luck to you and your family. It's a great thing you're doing.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Doug Fister shut down the Angels a day after their season-best output, as the Tigers rolled to a 7-2 victory in the third meeting of a four-game series at Comerica Park.
Fister (4-6) surrendered a solo home run to Albert Pujols in the first inning, but was otherwise masterful in winning his third straight start. He allowed just one more hit, two walks and fanned 10 over eight innings.
Fister's dominant performance came after the Angels pounded out 18 hits and five homers in a 13-0 rout on Tuesday.
"He pitched terrific," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said of his starter. "He moved the ball in and out and changed his speeds."
Brennan Boesch and Prince Fielder each had two hits and drove in a pair for Detroit, which improved to 4-2 since the All-Star break.
Angels starter C.J. Wilson (9-6) was touched for a season-high seven runs on eight hits and five walks.
"Over the course of the season, you hope the good bounces go your way. Tonight they didn't," Wilson said.
Delmon Young countered Pujols' 17th home run of the season with a two-out, RBI single in the bottom of the first, and the Tigers tacked on four more off Wilson in their next turn at the plate.
Ryan Raburn hit a bases-loaded single to bring in a run, Miguel Cabrera's groundout plated another and Fielder laced a base hit to center that scored a pair.
Boesch made it 7-1 in the fifth when he sliced a line drive down the left- field line to knock in Cabrera and Jhonny Peralta.
The double was Detroit's last hit, but Fister retired the last 11 hitters he faced to keep it a six-run game.
Torii Hunter's RBI groundout in the ninth off Joaquin Benoit capped the scoring.
Fister had lost his previous three decisions versus the Angels...Hunter turned 37 on Wednesday.

The maker put in a charming little note inside. I can't wait to give it to my good friend's son for Xmas. Wish I know why artist calls it "Athos". or "palmtree" for that matter. It is very beautiful. If I liked these colors, I could get one for myself as well, even though I am not a guy.
After receiving the product (2 days ago), I'm very happy with the quality. This necklace has a nice vibe of natural colours and visual textures. You can tell the carving of the river stones are very precise, if they truely are "hand-carved river stone" then they have done a fantastic job. There was no thank you note as others have mentioned, but I wasn't expecting a note, I was expecting a great necklace, and a great necklace is what I got. Worth it.
excellent product, on time delivery and thank you card was a plus. would purchase from this seller again.
