GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Adcock was a great experience for me and my fellow classmates. I would never want to leave, Yes some teachers are horrible with students like my 5th and 4th grade teachers. Although the music teacher was the best, but she did not put much thought on the future, she was not very well prepared and did things at the last minute. She also asked kids for money to help her and she yelled at students who didn't buy things for the performance and she made a bake sale to receive all the money back and she did not give any money to the kids who helped with the money. And the principal was more concerned with disciplining children then helping them and thankfully she is moving schools so hopefully the students in the future will get a calm principle.
O K Adcock Elementary School is the best school in the city... I went there. My sister, nieces, nephews and my son have gone to Adcock. My daughter has gone to Adcock for the last 4 years. The teachers and the staff are the best, very helpful and will go out of their way to help with any need. I love this school.
My daughter is in kindergarden. Her teacher is Mendoza. My daughter Kayanna started school without going to any pre-school or any other type of education. Today my daughter loves school, loves to read, write, activities. That is all do to having an awesome teacher. It has also made me more involved. Thank You Mrs. Mendoza.
There are some really great teachers and other staff members at this school however, there are many more who are not so great. There is NO consistency as to how children are disciplined, primarily the children who are receiving some special ed services. Children need consistency in how they are taught and dealt with. Yelling at children in school is very counter productive and I and others have been witness to this. I have heard very good things about other schools in the district and will be considering relocating to a different school zone.
The teachers really care about student learning. Uniforms are liberal: solid colored polo and solid colored pants/skirts. Students are well-behaved. Family events are well reveived. The school made AYP.
the teachers are great and the kids are great too but we have had alot of issues this school year and the big one was school uniforms we tryed to fight it but in the end it didnt no matter who we feel even with the vote coming back with the 55% to aprrove it but there are alot of family that cant afford school uniforms there was a alot of mothers that tryied to stop it we tryed and i am sorry to had to lose but there is always next school season i guess that we will just have to take better action than we did this year right now i am trying to get my kids into another school i hope that i can do this but if i cant i will be there to do what is needed and to keep my eye on everthing that does happen
This School is wonderful! I used to be a student there, and it was a very plesant experience.

I see software as the testing ground for the future, a place where we can put on our training wheels and get our ethics right and develop cultural and social norms for how technology should relate to humans.
Jonathan Harris, Founder of Cowbird
speaking at CreativeMornings/NewYork (*watch the talk)
I am more than optimistic about the ability of technology to go deeper, for our relationship to technology to become more intimate and meaningful, and, in turn, our relationships with each other. This will have less to do with the capability of engineering and more to do with the capability of users. We do not engineer meaning, but we can engineer things that pull wonderful things out of people. If you believe people are no more than like-button clicking machines you should be working to change that, or you should not be working for the internet.

Update: According to Launchport the preorder fee ($10) is actually a deposit good towards the purchase price.
3 years ago Palm made headlines by introducing not only a new handset, the Palm Pre, but by including an optional base that utilized inductive charging, as in magnets, to charge the smartphone. To charge it you just laid the handset onto the surface and assuming the two devices were aligned properly charging would commence sans wires. Following that a number of aftermarket options, such as Powermat, broke onto the scene, but in the end the tech has yet to see mass adoption, large in part because you still need to physically place your phone directly onto a pad. Despite the slow adoption rate, that hasn't stopped Launchport from jumping on the inductive charging bandwagon, though they've hedged their bets considerably by targeting iPad users.
Much like Powermat, the Launchport requires that you retrofit a case to the iPad which no doubt plugs into its 30-pin port. Two versions of the charging base are offered: one that mounts into your home's wall and one that simply sits on the desktop holding the iPad at a convenient 45 degree angle. While both cost $200, a daunting amount of cash to charge a $400+ device, the wall version will require a relatively significant installation, that is assuming you want a seamless experience. However, once installed, it will double as a magnetic mount, not only charging the iPad but enabling you to stick it to the wall and leave loved ones notes as to your where abouts, as seen in the product video.
Unfortunately, the cost doesn't stop there as you'll also need to throw down an additional $150 for the compatible case, which includes "a built-in wave guide for the iPad 2 speaker that allows the sound to be directed back at you" and lets you stick the iPad 2 to any magnetic metal surface. Nonetheless, the price is hardly justifiable in our minds, but perhaps they're counting on the convenience of a wall mountable charger being just too hard to resist.
Did we mention that they're demanding an additional $10 if you preorder the device? Odd, because usually early adopters are awarded for their bravery, not punished. Launchport better get their act together quick, otherwise they'll find themselves with an overpriced paperclip holder.

Room & Board
In the depths of our furniture hunting depressions, we have been touched by the many words of encouragement and suggestions. More than once, the name "Room & Board" came up, with links. Clicking through, we found an operation that is clearly looking to elbow its way to the table with the playahs like Crate & Barrel and Restoration Hardware.
The pieces are in classic styles (Arts & Crafts, Mid Century Modern, Asian....,) and can be drop shipped to you in seconds with the fabric combination of your choice, often for not much more than $1,000. The Room & Board web site uses words like "passion" and "inspiration" and "committment."
Not to mention "customer."
We sense the presence of a hard-working MBA behind the scenes. In addition to their thorough site, Room & Board has stores in four mid-western and western states in addition to their large SoHo shop. That should provide a nice break from the prices at Ligne Roset.
31 Comments
I use to live in Minneapolis and just love Room and Board where it is based. I live in the New York City area and believe its headed to Soho soon. I still buy their items online. You will love it. The furniture is great - very similar but less expensive than Design within Reach. Great place for staples and again the prices are resonable - not out of reach.
why does totty get two posts?
totty dotty we like ta party...
I guess they overextended themselves when they opened their SoHo store. I have problems with my Ella bed from Room & Board. After waiting 5-1/2 months, it arrived damaged. My sister has had a delivery problem with her chairs, and a neighbor's sofa came with the wood split. I'm sure there are a lot of people with good experiences, but 3 out of 3 people I know who ordered had problems.
In the Globe & Mail there was a write about day beds and your company was mentioned. I would like to know what you have available and cost. I am in Vancouver, so how do I go about purchasing one.
Ordered the 40x40 Portica, and the 30x20 side table, and the cool 18' sq. Leather Bench.
Well when you hear it clanging as it rolls down the hallway of your building its not a good sign.
I was somewhat shocked to see two guys show up with the frames of the these "brushed finish" steel tables taped together. And what happens when you tape two piece of brushed steel together with no padding or bubble wrap or even newspaper.
Well it gets scratched. And thats what happened.
Further the spiel in their catalog that they partner with some artisan family that handcrafts these, and sands, grinds, the hot metal....its a crock. The table was welded crudely, had scorch and black burn marks, and grease, and was pock marked with nicks and imperfections.....all for $600
Ok, now onto the next side table, well its scratched too (where it rubbed with other table).
Now on to that bench; 3 dig marks; probably the fingernails of the delivery guys or warehouse guy.
OK, I have orderer up high from Knoll and down low from Target, Walmart and JC Penny. Room & Board is hands down the worst. How do you deliver stuff with no packing. A ride down a NYC street in a limo causes everything to bump around.....and in a 2 ton truck from Jersey? C'mon. I get $50 stuff in the mail that has enough bubble wrap to suffocate with.
For now looks like Room & Board spent all their money on that slick catalog/'site and is clueless what big-city consumers want for their money.
Conclusion: Room & Board is Crate & Pottery knock off, that may even be below Pier 1. Stay in Minneapolis!
Weird, I have been to their SoHo store a ton of times, and ordered a bunch of shelves, my bed, my dresser, sofa etc. from them, and had not a single issue with their craftsmanship or delivery!
Bought one sofa and chair. After two months, the 'give' of the cushions flattened and sloped forward; if you tried to lie on the sofa, you fell towards the floor. Not nice for napping or company. Looked awful, not worth the almost $2000 shelled I out for it.
Called, complained, and product returned (without any sort of compensation for the awful craftmanship--free delivery? discount? None. And I'm not one to milk it for a freebie). Decided to go to sofa and chair #2.
Arrived in my home, delivery associate slid the chair across the cement floor outside--thought it strange, but didn't think much more about it. Delivery associate comes into my home, steps on two floor lamps I had intentionally pushed into a corner to avoid damage and he found a way to crush the floor shades. The best was his non-chalant, hand-in-the-cookie-jar, don't look me in the eye posture he took. I just stared, asked for his name so I could contact HQ and he pitched a fit. At this point, I let them leave. Enough was enough, at least a got my replacement sofa.
As I was shifting the sofa around, moving chairs and rugs, I see the 'cement-floor slide' he performed earlier tore the back corner of the sofa. Call, complain, return number 2 the same day. This time, they weren't accomodating for a return as they were the first time. And again, they wouldn't compensate for the damaged floor lamps, shipping, nothing.
Sofa and chair number 3 arrive. Seems OK. I'm thinking the drama is over. Two months later, the sofa frame splits. Mind you, I am home and awake sitting on this sofa MAYBE 3 hours a week. At this point, I've given up. Not worth the aggravation.
Please spend your money elsewhere. If you decide to purchase, remember: stow away every last belonging you have, clear the floors, pad the cement and cross your fingers.
Like Raine, I find the bad experiences "weird". I have been shopping with Room & Board for over 10 years and have had nothing but great results. I know they really stand behind their products and work pretty hard to get it right if something doesn't work out. I highly recommend them.
Also the quality is far superior to Crate or PB. Much of their stuff is made here in the U.S. by small funiture manufacturers - not too many people can say that anymore.
Any other experiences with R&B? Vladimir Kagan has designed the Hahn sofa for R&B, and I'm feeling an itchy trigger finger.
I just bought a custom Jasper from R&B -- and it's great. Delivery was fine but not above and beyond fantastic. I did, however, send them a note about the non-fantastic delivery service and forwarded them this thread -- hoping they improve in the NYC area. I love my couch and I'd order again.
Maybe it took them some time to work the kinks out, but my experience has been great. My DA is fantastic @ the Soho store, I have furnished my entire apt with R & B. Each time I had the same delivery guys, courteous and helpful. Anything I ordered that I didn't like, I was able to exchange, and one of the tables I ordered, I even returned after a month (decided it was too big) and they worked with me to choose something else. And the girls in customer service remember me when I order, ask about my baby, and help me with any requests I need. I am a faithful R & B customer and definitely recommend them.
I purchased the Imagine Duo bunkbed about a year ago, from the Soho store. Delivery/set-up was problem free. The bed is very solid and a year in, we have no complaints about it at all. Excellent quality. Every time I've called or gone in, I've received great customer service as well.
I work for the company that builds the ella and domain beds for room and board. the frames are mostly cardboard, and what wood there is tends to split rather easily, I'd avoid these products if I were a customer. Then again, as long as there are people dumb enough to buy them there are people dumb enough to pay be to build them.
I work with Blatantrefusal in the North Carolina plant that builds the Domain and Ella beds for Room and Board also the frames are very very cheap mostly out of particle board yes you read right particle board, but yet they don't the cunsumer that, there is probably 20 dollars that go into the fram building, the fabric that is mostly used Spykid Flannel and Spykid Fog are usually full of defects which were told to leave..so take it from 2 of the people that build and assemble these beds, save your money and get them from somewhere else
the funniest thing is Precedent Furniture 828-465-0844 found out we posted how crappy their product is that they fired us..simply put don't buy from Room and Board..
Although I, too, eagerly jumped on the Room and Board bandwagon when relocating to Chicago from Kansas city and needed to purchase new furniture, I have been disappointed with the poor quality of their furniture. Simply stated, it does not last nor was it built to last.
Perhaps I should preface my experience with a reassurance that I don't have much, but value and take care of what I do have. Only 7 months after purchasing my R&B furniture, these are the problems I have encountered:
71" Jasper Sofa in Drama: seat cushions no longer firm and require constant readjusting; also fabric has faded considerably and inconsistently
Portica table with solid cherry top: numerous unsightly scratches show through the very thin finish
Sequel Cherry veneer file: broken PLASTIC drawer rollers on 2 of the drawers rendering those drawers cumbersome to use and the veneer facing actually detached from one side... perhaps they should have used stronger glue?
2 Radius cherry veneer bar stools: veneer has chipped off of both stools in places
Firm memory foam mattress: permanent impressions of me sleeping do not make for a very comfortable sleep. At 140 lbs, the durability of this mattress has been abysmal at best.
For the moderate pricetag, I assumed I was investing in furniture that would last me a decade at least. Sadly, I was mistaken. Please carefully inspect the floor models (especially drawers and pieces with wood veneer). I certainly wish I had done so...
-Mike the med student
Does anyone have any experience with the new Hutton sofa?
Having looked high and low for furniture that was above Ikea quality but not quite in the rarified air of places like Restoration, where I can't even afford to walk in the door, let me just say that having gone to Room & Board today to check out their stuff, my comment has to be that I'm not sure what people expect for the money they spend, but they're not going to do much better than what they get there.
The stuff is "substantial" - it isn't flimsy and doesn't seem half made of particle board like MANY other places - and there's quite a lot of variety. Does furniture chip or sometimes break? Yeah - it does.
But having gone to a LOT of places like Bo Concept, Apt., etc., Room & Board was leaps and bounds beyond. The store might also be the biggest non-department store in the entire city (seriously - it is absurd).
Have I bought anything yet? No. But I definitely will be. And if I change my mind, I'll come back to the board and say so - I can admit when I am wrong. But having gone and touched the stuff with my own hands, given it a good shake, jumped on it, punched, kicked, etc. (they did look at me weirdly, but whatever...) - it is far more solid than a lot else out there, looks very nice and is not cheap but is in that rare middle ground that doesn't break the bank either.
I felt it was important to say all this because every time I look for a store on this site, I find almost exclusively negative comments. I'll let you know if things change after delivery...
I have purchased 8 pieces from Room and Board. I have had most of them for about a year and have 2 kids that use them daily. All of my pieces look just as good now as they did a year ago. I bought from R & B because of the style, colors and pricing but, the thing that I cound not believe was the great customer service and the delivery. I was shocked when the delivery guys came into my home and placed my new furniture ( sofa, tables, lamps, chairs ) in the exact place where I wanted them ( after putting felt on the bottom of everything ) and then when they were complete they reviewed the care instructions for each item. This should not be "shocking" but, I have never seen delivery people do such a great job. Maybe the delivery issues in the "City" are not so good but, I live in Southern California and have had nothing but great experiences.
our experience:
bought one of the 'comfort sleeper' sofas, which are made by american leather. was specifically looking for this make of couch, and the price was far less than either DWR, jensen-lewis, bloomies, and macy's, with more options. check for yourself. sales people all the way around were great (the anti-dept store quote in an earlier post is right-on).
had issues with initial delivery: they were on time, and professional, but said they couldn't fit the sofa in the elevator(it's very deep). turns out they could have but never tried to take the back off. after a lot of back and forth on whether the original sofa would fit with back off and a free 'fit call' from R&B , they returned with a slightly smaller version (queen vs. queen plus) with the back off, fit fine and delivery was great. i felt the orig sofa could have probably fit with the back off, and R&B offered to try it for no additional charge, but since we were prob overreaching with the bigger one to begin with, didn't mind and stood pat. R&B cust svc was great throughout the process and tried very hard to get it right. i give them high marks overall, as they repeatedly emailed and reached out until we were ok.
our couch has been great and as advertised. the sleep mechanism stuck slightly when opening (needed spray) and they sent someone out right away. have a little one that tries her best to ruin it, but the stain guard is great.
i also agree with earlier comments that the stuff there is better quality than most if not all of the chains, generally reasonably priced (but not cheap), and like the designs more. there are some veneer on mdf pieces (copenhagen line, etc.) but if you're worried about mdf, don't buy it. no place does a great job with it, and you shouldn't expect to have it for 10 years through 4 moves.
overall R&B is sort of a nicer crate and barrel you feel better about buying from - better designs, doesn't feel as corporate. would buy more stuff in the future. considering a Linear Office purchase, but is $$$$.
Was just (less than 5 minutes ago) outside - Room and Board Furniture arrived (Anders 9 drawer dresser).. 5,000 dollars.
The back was ripped off the dresser, the legs were completely scratched and destroyed - the front however looked decent.
The item was boxed on the truck - so the only way this could have happened is if R&B decided to either A send me a dresser that was already returned once - or B sent me a display model.
I called service and they apologized - I told them I wouldn't take delivery - but they indicated the item isn't in stock and wouldn't be till sometime in April. That would make 14 weeks to get a 5000 dollar dresser.
Anyone recommend a comparable dresser with a shorter delivery time than end April?
And I swear, I was just getting out of bed. No funny business was going on. My boyfriend nearly had a heart attack, and i weigh 100 lbs and he weighs prob 160 lbs at most.
Kinda ridiculous that i had to fight tooth and nail for them to fix it the same day. The wooden bar supporting the steel slats gave way, but could hv been wrse, like my foot could have been underneath or my laptop was under my bed?? The bar that fell had nails sticking out of it - could hv been a disaster.
And the guy who came to fix it said "there was excessive force placed on that side of the bed?" WTF is excessive - 260lbs???
I am going to complain tmr, as i was seriously going to buy more furniture from R&B - let's see how their post sale service is like... will keep you posted.
Have bought many things from Room & Board. Most of them are of of very good quality and are stylish and well-priced. The lighting products are great--good prices and good quality. However, many of the "wood" products are a little cheesy-looking, in a Pottery Barn-quality sort of way. Overall, I have been very satisfied with my purchases from this store but I would highly recommend visiting a store in-person before purchasing to examine the pieces first.
We have the same cherry Portica table as "Mike the med student" and we have the same unsightly scratches despite handling all our furniture with kid gloves. I have never seen a finish so thin. The table also gets little pockmarks everywhere. We use a cushioned tablecloth every time we have guests, yet the next day there is always more damage that looks like it was caused by sharp blades and blunt objects! I have never been so disappointed in a piece of furniture.
Does anyone have any experience with the Encore Sofa?
Anyone looking at Room and Board products should be made aware that a large percent of their "new" product are items that have been delivered then returned at a later date. They inspect the peices and if they decide they look new they re-deliver to new customers. Also beware they will charge you for a custom piece even if it is in stock due to someone elses cancelled order. This company puts a front like they care but the reality is your better off shopping else where
Elsewhere... like where? For that price point/style, seriously... where else?
I LOVE Room & Board and have NEVER had a problem.
As a design snob and mid-century furniture enthusiast I recently fell in love with the Reese sectional with chaise at R&B. The shocking part was how much we loved the Congac LEATHER one, whereas we're not normally prone to going with leather.
The couch sells for $4300!!! That's about 2k more than I would like to pay.
Anyone have any experience with R&B's leather furniture? I feel safe with leather knowing it'll stand up over fabric for eons, but my worry are the cushions inside, will they get super flat and lifeless? Can I replace the foam if so?
Help a design snob out, please.
We have bought a lot of furniture from Room and Board, and are disappointed with almost all of it. Customer service reps have been friendly, but haven't really fixed the issue. I mean, they have offered to have furniture repaired, but the same issues keep occurring. And, it's not exactly convenient to send your furniture away every few months for repairs. Surprisingly, the furniture we have purchased from Crate and Barrel has been much more durable and well-made.
I like the idea of Room and Board using local craftsman and "real" wood, etc., but I'm beginning to wonder how much of that is just hype.
(1) Sanna Chairs--these are basically "show pieces" in our home. We maybe sit in them for 1-2 hours/week. We don't have kids. The chairs are covered in dings, scratches, and dents. The cushions are flat and even sound cheap when sitting on them. The frames are currently being "fixed" by a local furniture repair man, but the problem will just occur again. Super frustrating to pay >$700 for a chair that looks like it came from Ikea.
(2) Adams Round Table and Portica Natural Cherry Console Table in Natural Cherry--"enb 14" and "Mike the Med Student" said it all.
(3) Form Coffee Table (no longer available)--again, dented and scratched with minimal and very careful use. When called to complain, they offered to refinish, but the problem will just re-occur.
(4) Have been satisfied with Ansel dining chairs and portica leather bench, although neither have received any use yet.
Will never buy from Room and Board again.
Mike the med student's 71" jasper sofa could use a little firming up... a new slipcover is just the trick!
I have a spare, Mike.... Actually, I have spare jasper sofas too!
Quality furniture is harder and harder to find. I bought most of my furniture over many years from Henredon, Drexel, Bernhardt, Swaim.... most people can't afford these lines and availability has been pinched.
Room and Board offers great design, fabric and access. They also fix things that go wrong.
They have the 'formula' and the market has responded. Even used Room and Board furniture sells easily. I'm an obvious fan, and I'll keep shopping R & B!

Baby Boomers Defer Retirement for "Encore Careers"
Marc Freedman, Author, The Big Shift; CEO, Civic Ventures
Remember "the golden years"? The time of life when you shed your job and the shackles of time schedules for the free-flying freedom of retirement? How quaint.

Integral Technologies Announces Dual Mode Recording with DigitalSENTRY
Seamlessly add network cameras to systems with NTSC/PALanalog cameras
DS Enterprise and DS XPress Digital Video Management Systems by Integral Technologies will soon display and record both NTSC/PALanalog cameras and network cameras in the same Digital Video Management System.
DS Enterprise and DS XPress Digital Video Management Systems are complete surveillance systems accommodating a virtually unlimited amount of cameras in multiple networked locations. Both products are combination database servers and video acquisition units (VAUs) capable of up to 480 images per second (analog NTSC) with up to 128 camera inputs per VAU.
Adding network cameras to a new or existing DS Enterprise or DS XPress system will not require additional hardware or converters as video is transmitted into the VAU via the NIC network connection already in the system. Integral will be offering the ability to upgrade existing systems immediately making them IP compatible. By seamlessly integrating the network video streams along with the analog camera feeds, users will be able to view, search, archive and retrieve network and Analog video in the same interface.
Network cameras are a cost effective and efficient way to add video over an IP network via local area network (LAN) or across the Internet without adding new coax wiring or hardware. Network cameras can be added at any location with network access. Since network video is brought in using network connections, the existing VAU camera inputs are not sacrificed. Integral DS Enterprise and DS XPress will also connect directly to a video server connected to any analog camera.
"Integral is always offering progressive, future proof capabilities in our products." notes William Beach, Director of Sales. "By integrating network video from Axis Communications, we offer a cost effective and highly efficient way to extend the size and scope of an existing system. By utilizing the power of the DigitalSENTRY system and the existing architecture of a distributed IP network, we will offer dual mode video capture--network and analog, all on one Digital Video Management System."
Integral Technologies is an Application Development Partner (ADP) of Axis Communications. By integrating with Axis network cameras and video servers, Integral is offering a complete, cost effective solution for network video connectivity. As a majority of businesses now have high-speed IP based networks, the addition of network video interoperability enables IP based remote video access where analog connections may not have been possible.
"The demand for IP surveillance products is growing rapidly as all types of industries are quickly realizing the cost savings, high performance and functionality the technology offers," remarks Fredrik Nilsson, General Manager for Axis Communications. "By partnering with Integral Technologies, together we can work to help new markets have access to the benefits of IP surveillance."
Integral Technologies will be showcasing the new dual mode recording feature for DigitalSENTRY with cameras from Axis Communications at the Dallas ASIS show, booth # 401.

The monitors listed below represent our favorites of the ones we've reviewed.
With its excellent performance, full set of ergonomic features, and reasonable price, the 22-inch HP LP2275 is a smart choice.
NEC's MultiSync LCD1960NXi is surprisingly good with video, but there are other less expensive 19-inch LCDs that offer superior overall image quality.
The SyncMaster 910T is a sharp-looking 19-inch LCD with good image quality, lots of adjustability options, and a decent price.
The VP191b has almost everything we look for in an LCD, but graphics pros will expect better performance for the price.
This nicely priced 17-inch LCD from a reputable manufacturer is a good choice for home use, but for gamers and businesspeople, its image quality and adjustability leave a lot to be desired.
The HP Envy 27-inch IPS monitor with Beats Audio goes long on sound while still giving image quality its due.
The Viewsonic VX2235wm isn't the best performer and it's not packed with extras, but it's worth a look, thanks to its size and relatively low price.

Engine makers challenge Navistar on SCR
Most suppliers of heavy-duty diesel engines that will rely on selective catalytic reduction in 2010 are opposing Navistar's legal challenge to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's certification requirements for SCR.
On June 1, Cummins, Daimler Trucks North America, Detroit Diesel, Mack Trucks and Volvo Group North America filed documents with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit opposing Navistar's position.
Navistar on March 31 filed its challenge in a federal appeals court to EPA's Feb. 18 certification requirements for heavy-duty engines using SCR. On May 4, the truck maker submitted a statement of issues to the D.C. Circuit raising the question of whether EPA can adopt the 2009 SCR guidance without a rulemaking proceeding.
Navistar noted that EPA's 2001 rule established a 0.2-gram nitrogen oxides standard for all 2010 model trucks; it also found SCR not to be a feasible technology to meet the standard. Navistar charges that the 2009 SCR guidance relaxes the 0.2 gram standard and approves a technology that EPA in 2001 concluded would not allow the standard to be met on a fleetwide basis.
The Feb. 18 document provides guidance to manufacturers on various issues surrounding SCR, including several related to the required diesel exhaust fluid. Navistar's challenge appears to rest on the notion that EPA is allowing SCR-equipped trucks to be operated for a number of miles or hours – albeit at significantly reduced torque – without DEF, with poor-quality DEF or with a partially inoperable SCR system.
"There is absolutely no benefit to society, customers or the environment in the approach Navistar has deliberately chosen to confuse this very important issue," says Volvo spokesman Jim McNamara.

Highway funding almost depleted
Money for current highway construction will run out in August unless Congress approves up to $7 billion more, according to the Obama administration.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, said June 2 the administration has told senators the Federal Highway Trust Fund will need an estimated $5 billion to $7 billion to maintain existing construction projects.
The administration said another $8 billion to $10 billion will be needed for the year ending Sept. 30, 2010.
Reduced driving since 2007 has cut federal gas tax revenue, which is the primary source of highway fund money. Some members of Congress have proposed increasing the federal gas tax, which has been at 18.4 cents a gallon since the 1990s.
Trust fund money is separate from the $48 billion in transportation projects included in the economic stimulus program.
Last year, Congress approved an emergency transfer of $8 billion in general treasury money to make up a projected shortfall in the fund – the first time in the program's history that had happened.

'Lockout': Lost in Space
Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
Since striking fanboy-cred gold with his elaborate, eccentric sci-fi spectacular "The Fifth Element," writer-director Luc Besson has been enjoying (well, I presume he's been enjoying) a lucrative cinematic sideline dreaming up and producing action films in multiple genres. The movies bearing his imprimatur draw heavily from Asian cinema, graphic novels, and video games. Not to mention older genre classics, and sometimes his own prior films. They generally reflect a kind of cheeky boyish delight in tech innovations and outlandish action; I've certainly gotten my share of semi-adolescent kicks from such Besson conceived-and-approved pictures as the "Transporter" movies and the recent "La Femme Nikita" gloss "Colombiana." But the outer-space prison-infiltration saga "Lockout," both produced and ostensibly "based on an original idea" by Besson, is sufficiently strained that it suggests a regrouping vacation might be in order for the busy producer, whose credits as such now number over one hundred, if IMDB is to be trusted.
Search: More on Guy Pearce
The "based on an original idea" part is a pretty good laugh, since almost every darn thing in the movie seems directly grafted on from another film. I recall the idea of "space jail" from the likes of the early '80s sci-fi actioner "Outland," and the condition of "stasis" under which the prisoners in the orbital version of Supermax are suspended of course recalls "Minority Report." The film's hero, Snow, aside from having a name lifted from a pretty lame Canadian rapper, is pretty much a carbon copy of "The Fifth Element"'s tough, wisecracking Korben Dallas, and a pumped up Guy Pearce here does well by the archetype without ever overtly aping original Korben portrayer Bruce Willis. And so it goes.
As the film opens, Snow's being smacked around by some CIA biggies who want some secrets he supposedly stole, and the authorities are about to put him up in the space prison under a trumped-up rap when (oh no!) a security breach has set free all the vilest scum in the galaxy, led by two slobbering Scots, one an eager wannabe rapist and the other a more reflective type. And the wannabe rapist has his one good eye set on one of the more comely hostages, who happens to be...the Daughter Of The President Of The United States Of The Future (the film is set in 2079).
Suddenly Snow mutates from fly in the special ops ointment to the only hope of his masters, as he's snuck on to the spacecraft to rescue said Daughter Of President, who also happens to be a feisty human rights crusader, played with requisite feistiness by Maggie Grace. Nitrogen levels rise, oxygen levels drop, the floating prison threatens to fall to earth, and all the while tensions mount, not in terribly unpredictable ways. "Why don't we just kill that lunatic?" one of the escapees asks the reflective Scot leader-escapee. The audience might as well just say it along with him: "Because he's my brother." Yeah, yeah, we know, but of course the orchestral score by Alexandre Azaria has to hammer it home with a three-chord flourish that the makers of Universal horror films of the '40s might have rejected as too obvious.
One of the things that made ruthlessly derivative B-pictures of the past kind of enjoyable was that they compensated for lack of originality with an eagerness to push envelopes, as it were; to go farther "out" in terms of exploitation and crassness. But today's B-pictures tend to synthesize, then smooth out, putting all manner of genre ingredients into the mixmaster and then baking them into an almost invariably PG-13 rated concoction of no appreciable outrageousness. "Lockout" is a more tired-than-average manifestation of this tendency.
While the byplay between Pearce and Grace is not un-fun, and some of the action satisfying, "Lockout" is a largely half-hearted effort in which some of the major set pieces are so indifferently executed that they literally look exactly like sequences out of video games. The movie's not an active pain to sit through, particularly if you are indeed a fan of its genre, but it's also about as instantly forgettable as they come.

It features the programme's new judging panel being interrupted by a mystery phone call – David Walliams while he is filming a costume drama – and Cowell himself answering his mobile in his office based in the "Y" of the Hollywood sign. Why indeed. But who's on the other end of the line? Is it ITV director of television Peter Fincham? Er, no, it's only the Queen! Well, a lookalike obviously. It is not the first time there's been momentary confusion involving Fincham and Her Maj. We're sure this one will end much happier. The Voice, it's over to you.

Summer could be coming a little later for students in Albemarle County, and they have winter 2014 to thank for that. The amount of snow days taken has already gone beyond the built-in days for a school year.
Other divisions are in the same boat and, unfortunately, there may be more snow days on the way.
It's difficult to plan a school calendar around snow, especially months in advance. But what's been most unpredictable is the ice and freezing rain this season, which may be why students could be out of school at least one more day this week.
"That's why we have regulations and guidelines on how we're going to make up that time," said Matthew Haas, assistant superintendent of Albemarle County Public Schools.
Albemarle says it has had to use nine inclement weather days even though only two were built into the calendar. That means the last day of school for students will most likely be June 13 instead of June 9.
"We make up the first five days per Virginia Department of Education mandates and then after that you make up every other day," said Haas.
The state requires 180 days of instructional time. Albemarle thinks tacking the time on to the end of the year is the best solution - staying away from time such as spring break.
"We surveyed the community and asked them for their priorities. One big value in our community is preserving vacation time," said Haas.
Tuesday marked 13 snow days for Greene and Madison counties. Greene has four days to make up and Madison has two. Fluvanna says it will address a similar issue at its school board meeting next week.
For many counties, another inclement weather day could come Wednesday as ice remains a threat on rural roads.
Surprisingly, Albemarle says it has not surpassed the inclement weather days taken last calendar year: 10. The school board will have the final say about whether to extend the end of the school year to make up those additional days.

Doughnuts are an American staple.

The company was formed last year by Santa Cruz ex-pat Reilly Meehan and partner Brian Christie.
So many of us loved last season's pop-up breakfasts at the Westside Farmers Market that—you guessed it—there will be more.
Barbeque is the subject of much passion and debate. How does one best smoke meat? How long should it smoke? Mission St. BBQ is the latest barbeque joint in town, but the owners aren't new to the game.
On a particularly warm late afternoon, a friend came over for a visit and I opened up a Clos LaChance Chardonnay, which is just the ticket to enjoy over a chat – along with some good cheese and crackers.
With the Felton and Scotts Valley farmers markets both happening every week into the fall, the summer fruit season is officially in swing. We thought it'd be a good time to check-in with Santa Cruz Community Farmers Markets director Nesh Dhillon, who oversees those two markets, and three others in the county—downtown, Live Oak and on the Westside.

Fit and finish on all AR10's I've seen is excellent as is upper to lower fit and in my experience, it stays that way.

10 food trends to avoid
What will they think of next?
When it comes to trends, some fads are over in the blink of an eye, while others withstand the test of time. Here's hoping that these culinary crazes meet the same fate as sky-high shoulder pads and teased bangs—forever in the past. Our health depends on it.
-- Molly Raisch, Prevention

Gross-ery store staples
As far as pizza toppings go, there's one ingredient that no one likes to see on their pie—and no, we're not talking about anchovies. We're referring to phthalates. Researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston recently examined 72 supermarket staples and discovered traces of the chemical in several groceries, including prepackaged pizza, meats and beverages. While the levels of the toxins still fall under what the Environmental Protection Agency considers safe, scientists are alarmed that this toxic compound is making its way into our diet at all. How did these chemicals leech into our dinner in the first place? Lead investigator, Arnold Schecter, MD, believes plastic packaging could be the culprit.
Buck the trend: The winners of our 100 Cleanest Packaged Food Awards are the healthiest, cleanest boxed and bagged foods on the market. Specifically, they're all low in sugar and sodium, and free of BPA and GMOs.
Not-so-subliminal messaging
Imagine this: You pop in a rental DVD and halfway through your Friday night rom-com, you suddenly get the craving for a hot, fresh pizza. In fact, you can smell pizza. No, it's not your imagination—Domino's has teamed up with DVD rental stores in Brazil to make discs that release the scent of a fresh pie as the movie goes on. How? The discs are printed with ink that emit smells of cheese, sauce and dough when it reaches a certain temperature inside the player. The thermal ink even changes color: By the time you eject the flick, an image of a pie is front and center on the DVD. Do we smell a worldwide trend? While Domino's is the first company to hop on this scent-sation, we don't think it'll take long for other companies to follow suit.
Buck the trend: Make a no-food-in-front-of-the-TV rule. In fact, if you save those "Scandal" episodes for when you're running on the treadmill, it will make exercise more entertaining, says Prevention's fitness expert Chris Freytag. And you'll be less likely to call your delivery guy while you're getting your sweat on. (For even more ways to sneak a little activity into your busy day, check out these 25 ways to fit in 10 minutes of exercise.)
S.O.S. (Save our sauce)
Because the chemical preservative Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) has been linked to stomach tumors in rats, the National Toxicology Program put this chemical on its naughty list. But that didn't necessarily mean that it was eliminated from the shelves. In fact, the potential carcinogen is still in some foods, like the ranch dressing at Carl's Jr. (makes you a little less happy you opted for the salad, eh?). But the story doesn't end there. Since the preservative used to be commonly used in everyday items like potato chips, cereal and chewing gum, there is a chance that more BHA is lurking in some of our go-to foods.
Buck the trend: Be sure to check ingredient labels for BHA. Better yet, whip up your own! Try one of these best 5-ingredient dressings from Prevention editors.
Caffeine gone crazy
The caffeine craze goes beyond energy drinks and venti Starbucks cups. Now you can get a jolt from everyday foods like waffles, syrup, jelly beans and gum. For example, two squares of the newly invented Wired Waffles contain more caffeine than the typical cup of joe. Pour on some of the company's caffeinated syrup and pair it with a mug of coffee, and you've got one hyped-up day on your shaky hands. And believe us, there is too much of a good thing. According to the Mayo Clinic, an overdose of caffeine could cause insomnia, muscle tremors and abnormally fast heartbeat.
Buck the trend: You don't need to turn to caffeine for an energy boost. These 11 fast fixes for fatigue will help you power through even the worst slump.
The uncomfortable side of comfort food
Walk into any fast-food restaurant and it's apparent that comfort food is back—with a vengeance. Many chains are embracing lard-laden menu items that pack on cheese, processed meats and carbs. Case in point: Pizza Hut's Cheesy Crust Pizza, which features the world's first "cheese pockets" in the crust. Each slice of their Meat Lover's pizza weighs in at a whopping 460 calories and tallies 1090 mg of sodium. Another biggie? Sonic's brand new Cheesy Bacon Pretzel Dog. Just one dog with all the fixings accounts for 42 percent of your daily fat intake and over half of your day's recommended sodium.
Buck the trend: Cutting your cheese cravings off at 400 calories can be what you need to indulge and still lose weight. You don't have to swear off fast food entirely, either—some drive-through options are actually crazy-healthy! Check out these 10 seriously healthy fast food meals to see what we mean.
Fruit fakers
You know the phrase, "Fake it 'til you make it"? Well, that doesn't apply to fruit. When it comes to getting your vitamin C and antioxidants, it doesn't pay to cut corners and take the easy route by opting for baked goods, like WhoNu treats or Girl Scout cookies. The Girl Scouts' Mango Cookies with Nutrifusion, for example, boast a hearty helping of essential vitamins thanks to the "whole food concentrate powder" found at the bottom of the ingredient list. Closer to the top of that list are some ingredients that don't rank high on vitamin levels, however: namely sugar, dextrose and corn syrup. Sorry, Scouts, these cookies lost our honor.
Buck the trend: Make real, honest-to-goodness fruit the center of your sweet tooth, like in these 5 delicious fruit desserts. Just be sure to save us a slice.
The fat that won't budge
When research surfaced that trans fats were wreaking havoc on heart health, several chains and packaged food companies were practically forced to rid their recipes of partially hydrogenated oil. In the years to follow, several supermarket staples touted "No Trans Fats" on the front of the box and many restaurants switched out their deep-fry oils. But could there be a sneaky resurgence of the cholesterol king? Maybe. The dirty little secret behind Pop Secret's Movie Style popcorn, for instance, is 4.5 grams of trans fats. Plus, just one slice of Marie Callendar's Lattice Apple Pie contains 3 grams of the fat. And let's be honest—who can stick to just one slice of pie?
Buck the trend: Skip bad fat for these 5 fats you should be eating, such as monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAS)—plant-based fats found in avocado, nuts and seeds, oils, olives and even dark chocolate. Studies show that these good-for-you fats enhance heart health and protect against chronic disease. Plus, MUFAs target stubborn belly fat.
Vending machine delicacies
When it comes to getting food on the go, it's no secret that convenience is king. And while we applaud companies for trying to add more healthy offerings to vending machines, we're not so thrilled with Cupcake ATMs as spotted in Beverly Hills, Washington DC's hot dog vending machines, or mashed potatoes coming from convenience store dispensers, as seen in Singapore. Hearing gravy squirt from a machine doesn't exactly get the appetite juices flowing.
Buck the trend: Who needs empty calories when you can just as easily munch on these 17 snacks that power up weight loss?
Sour news about sweet milk
Got sugar? In an effort to boost milk sales in schools, the International Dairy Foods Association and the National Milk Producers Federation have filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration to change what's called the "standards of identity" for milk and 17 other dairy products. This would allow manufacturers to add sweeteners like aspartame to our moo juice—and not disclaim it anywhere on the carton. And if you thought that adding fake sugars to our children's milk was something new, think again. Right now, many cafeteria pints are riddled with aspartame, which has been linked to leukemia and lymphoma in certain animal studies.
Buck the trend: Almond milk, like Diamond Breeze's Original Unsweetened Almond Milk, is a rich, creamy alternative to the sketchier stuff. With fewer calories than fat-free milk, you can get 20 percent of your calcium and 50 percent of your recommended intake of vitamin E per serving. (Is soy milk or almond milk healthier?)

London • Stanford diver Kristian Ipsen arrived at the London Games feeling the gnawing pressure of history. As America's next great competitor it was up to Ipsen, 19, to help four-time Olympian Troy Dumais finally win a medal.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
The circumstances weighed heavily Wednesday as Ipsen headed into the 3-meter synchronized springboard event at the Aquatics Centre, where the Americans won a bronze medal.
Qin Kai successfully defended his 2008 Olympic title with Luo Yutong as China won its fourth consecutive diving title in London. Russia's Ilya Zakharov and Evgeny Kuznetsov held off Ipsen and Dumais for the silver.
But U.S. coaches were giddy to earn the second medal of the London Games. On Monday, David Boudia and Nick McCrory were third in the 10-meter platform for the first Olympic diving medal for the U.S. men in 16 years.
Medal number two came after a heartfelt discussion over a lunch of chicken and lettuce. Ipsen admitted to Dumais he felt tremendous responsibility to help him fulfill his dream after years of toil.
Don't think about the medal, Dumais, 32, said.
"There's one thing I want you to do for me," he told his young partner. "Do not look at the scoreboard."
Ipsen, a Clayton native and De La Salle High graduate, left the scoreboard counting to Stanford's Rick Schavone, who after 34 years was coaching in his first Olympics.
The pair opened poorly, posting the seventh-best score on the first required dive. "I was a little concerned," Schavone said.
He didn't say anything to Ipsen. Instead he just gestured for him to calm down. That's all Ipsen needed. He knew he rushed the opening of six dives. Now it was time to be more precise.Next Page >

Brandi Glanville is one of the biggest stars of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" but she's claiming that she didn't have the money a few months ago to get medical help for her broken hand. In her Bravo blog entry posted on Tuesday, Jan. 28, she admitted that she didn't have health insurance then and didn't want to spend her money on treatment because she has two little boys to take care of.
"I broke my hand on a Thursday...I did not go to the doctor for a few reasons. First, I barely had any time to -- and second I didn't have medical insurance at the time. I had been trying for the last year to get medical coverage, but had been turned down because of a pre-existing condition. I have two little boys to take care of and I didn't want to waste my money on myself and have yet another reason to be turned down for insurance," she wrote.
Her reluctance and/or inability to pay out of pocket for treatment of her broken hand meant that it healed a little deformed.
Several readers of the blog wrote in saying that they're not buying her whole "poor single mom" excuse. They point out that she probably makes more money than most people and certainly seems to have enough money for her clothes, makeup, hair extensions, and other frivolous wants.
Brandi recently admitted that her and ex-husband were "ghetto rich," "living pay cheque to pay cheque, with no savings."
At least now she has health insurance!
Do you think Brandi Glanville is just trying to get sympathy?

The Sky's The Limit!
For the past 3 years I have been somewhat occupied with the subject of geo-engineering..not the kind that is a form of water cooling and heating from the depths of Mother Earth but ...geo-engineering of the weather! Perhaps many of you here are quite familiar with the various forms of weather manipulation that have been ongoing for a few decades and which is now a global phenomenon. I am not a conspiracy theorist.I'm a 61 yr. old sane(though some might debate that!)mother of 2 grown sons,retired from healthcare ,and facilitator for stress reduction/relaxation therapy and always look for proven data when I take a hankering to a particular topic of great interest especially with regards to Gaia.I have found much with regards to this topic as well as seeing and documenting a gazillion photos of 'chem-trailing ' over our own rural /urban areas of South /Central Ontario.I have travelled around the world and see this activity in our skies is on-going!I am not going to give a lecture here on this topic as there are many far more educated qualified folks who can do this so I will give you the name of Skywatch California and Agriculture Defense Coalition founder Rosalind Peterson.Rosalind has the best website and up to date info with regards to the subject of geo-engineering and persistent con-trail aerosol dispersment. The other great source of info I would like to relay to you is a PDF download doc. entitled "Geo-Piracy:The Case Against Geo-Engineering" by ETC Group.This document tells the entire story and lists fantastic references.Both these sources are well worth seeing/reading.It's time to look up folks.I don't know for sure whether geo-engineering is now a necessary activity due to climate change or not but I do not like our skies being sprayed with chemicals that can harm both our planet and us!! What exactly is coming out the arse end of these jets and who is doing this and funding it??? How do you feel about this??Please watch Rosalind's videos if you've the time.This is one brave dudette who has taken this issue all the way to the U.N. a few years back and then worked on waking people up and then some!!! We simply cannot allow this activity to go on un-noticed,giving our various unsustainable oil/gas industries carte blanche to continue to pollute our air,increase co2 and levels of other toxic particulates ,use us as their guinea pigs ,risk the very future of our children!!!
I have to insert wee bit of black humour here as I was watching "The Apartment" the other night(one of my faves Shirley!) and there was a line that just cracked me up having been through all this geo-engineering research Shirley!. MRS. LIEBERMAN Some weather we're having. Must be from all the meshugass at Cape Canaveral. My God...!!! How true this is today !!! Sad to say....so will you look up ...both literally and do some "Googling"? Perhaps Shirley or Brit have already interviewed Rosalind Peterson .I haven't checked but if not...she would make one very interesting guest I think .(I.M.H.O.) Be well all! Renny

Dear Heart Renaissance
I love your post, I printed so that I can see the sites you mention.
I am 59 and have 2 sons, I was born in Poland but live in Australia since 1974. My sister is an engineer with specialisation of cooling and heating systems and I am sure she will like to read this information as well.
I am more dedicated in this life to spiritual awareness and in relation to this topic I like to share with you in next post a very special to me message from a spirit guide that I posted on my blog:
Loving you

That's great dear Basia!! I am just about to compose a letter to send off to Dr. David Keith, a researcher in sustainable energy resources.He was once a proponent of geo-engineering but he also claimed that the Alberta bitumensands was not the way to go and stated near the end of his presentation to the U. of Calgary's seminar panel in early 2012( made up of various reps of the oil and gas industry)that Calagry would become a ghost town down the road if they kept on this path only rather than putting a good portion of their monies towards research and development.He also suggested that the government,industry and r & d act as a team to form a proper National energy policy and that they do this with honesty,truthfulness & transparency..now that's chutzpah!!! You can see his presentation on Vimeo if you google Vimeo (you can sign up for free)and then search for Dr. David Keith presentation I.S.E.E.E. (Institute of sustainable energy,environment and economics) good luck ! Renny
Oh yeah!!! The reason I'm writing to Dr. Keith is to ask him if perhaps he thinks it might be time for the 'powers that be' to be open and transparent about the geo-engineering,specifically stratospheric aerosol geo-engineering, they've been doing for the past 15+ years without formally informing 'we the people' of this planet!

Good on you, to voice your concerns and visions.
Thanks for more info I will look up.
This just comes to my mind from my guides that I like to write:
"Tell them that "God" has higher IQ than all of their heads put together.
Don't interfere with nature that you can't understand with human brain."
Loving you
Thanx so much dear Basia! I did get a reply that same day. I will post it after I've replied to Dr.David.Want to keep this conversation going.Just what I expected though..we'll see..nice to have a conversation though with this bright fellow! Will promise to keep you posted though for sure..need to clear my mind and body today! Too much Father's Day celebration for this not quite so young gal! 4 Fathers together celebrating with their sons and grandsons...tons of testosterone..we 4 gals were far outnumbered!
ps. I love your insight about God's IQ!! Wonderful! Be well,Renny

Cougar Attack
No sooner did the acronym MILF appear on our cultural landscape than another word to describe female sexuality burst into our common lexicon -- "cougar."
Dr. Wendy Walsh: If you don't know the meanings or implications of these terms, let me bring you into the party. The first describes a sexually attractive mother. It's been a great way for men to finally merge their whore/Madonna complex -- and I think it's a compliment. The later term, "cougar," is a word used to describe older women who prefer to hunt tender meat.
Lately, the word "cougar" has come under attack. Last week I was invited to appear on CNN representing momlogic to discuss this very point. I think the producers of the show were surprised by my assessment. Their question was this: Is the term "cougar" derogatory to women because it describes a female predator? I think the super-liberal media had assumed that liberal me would say, "Yah! Dump the term! Let women enjoy their hard-fought sexual freedom." While there is a part of me that does believe that women should enjoy their sexual freedom, there is a bigger part of me that wishes some women would be smarter, and stop thinking that copying male behavior is equality -- it's an equality trap.
With our newfound liberation and power, women should attempt to be something above the behavior of a few weak men whose brains are ruled by testosterone. Haven't we always looked down on older men who dismiss women their own age? Suddenly, what's good for the gander is good for the goose, and we have turned into one of them.
I mean, how much of an accomplishment is a cougar, anyway? Do women get some form of personal satisfaction and increased self-esteem knowing that they can bed a baby-man? Ladies, let me clue you in on one thing. Young men have guns so charged with ammunition that they'll shoot at most any willing target, especially one with a little wisdom and sexual experience. Being a cougar is not an accomplishment. It is silly. Real women are ready to face the challenges of a peer man with all his issues and foibles (including ED). We are two-faced if we complain that men are not respectful and patient when our sexual drive wanes after childbirth, and then we give up on men in middle age whose flag pole sometimes points south. Have some compassion, ladies.
So, should we retire the term "cougar"? No way. Let's just make the male counterpart more equal and change his name from "dog" to "wolf." Then we can all live happily together.
|Dr. Wendy Walsh holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and her area of interest is Attachment Theory, a psychological, evolutionary and ethological theory that provides a descriptive and explanatory framework for understanding interpersonal relationships between human beings. As a psychological assistant registered with the California Board of Psychology, Dr. Walsh has treated individuals, couples and families for a variety of mental health concerns including personality disorders, anger management, eating and substance disorders, and depression. Connect with Dr. Walsh on Facebook.
And sometimes we just happen to fall in love with someone that is younger than us. Not all women that are dating younger men "are copying male behavior". And who is looking down on men that date youger women??? If two people are happy together what does age matter? It sounds like your the one that needs to be "clued in".
Are we only allowed to date/marry people of the same age? My friend is engaged to someone 9 years younger and they have a balanced happy relationship. If it's working what difference does it make.
WHAT?! Really, I should accept ED although I have no kids thus never had the "waning sex drive" you describe. In fact, it's waxing. And I've ALWAYS dated younger men…
The "baby-men" you describe have nothing to do with age…they come in their 20's, 30's, 40's and beyond as recent headlines prove.
Just goes to show you book-smart folks don't always know what's going on in the real world!
I don't know why other women date younger guys, but I date younger guys become I find them sexually attractive. I'm divorced and do not intend to marry again, but, like everyone else, I like sex. And I like my freedom. why would I restrict my sex life to older guys or guys my age who have let themselves go physically.I have no trouble attracting younger guys.why would I date guys with love handles and other droopy parts when I could (and have)dated young guys with firm smooth bodies. I won't say how young some of the guys I've had sex with are, but some have told me I'm a MILF.I take it as a compliment. I love having sex with young guys and I don't care if they are experienced or not. Call me a cougar or anything else you want. I'm not looking for any long term relation, I just want physical and sexual companionship.
I am inclined to agree with Marge. Thank you my sister from another mother! Cause I've been there and am doing that. I owe no explanations or asking for any forgiveness!
Why do "cougar" has to be donned as bad. Cougar to me is just an attractive middle aged lady. I WOULD LOVE my wife to be a attractive 45 yr old. Sounds to me like too many middle aged women who let themselves go are coveting on those "cougars" who still got it goin on. I personally applaud all women of all nationalities who become middle aged and still have it goin on like they are 21. If u got it goin on on dont turn it off.

In just a few hours, Discovery Channel's "Auction Kings" debuts featuring Atlanta's Gallery 63.
"We're all kinds of whipped up," Brown said today, just a few hours before the 10 p.m. debut. "It's been a roller coaster but mostly downhill and fast."
I wrote about this show six months ago when Discovery was beginning to shoot it. Brown said he's gotten a ton of calls and emails already just from the promos.
I sampled the first episode and it's a breezy 30 minutes featuring some unusual finds: a four-billion-year-old asteroid found in Russia in 1947, a Nazi handbook circa 1936, a possible "Gone With the Wind" first edition signed by Margaret Mitchell and a vampire killing kit from the late 1800s.
The sellers provide descriptions of the items. Brown finds experts to confirm or debunk a particular item's value and/or authenticity. We then jump to auction day to see if the items sell for the amount the sellers hope. From a storytelling perspective, it's a clean beginning, middle and end for each item.
Brown comes across as pleasantly hyperactive while his manager Cindy Schook plays the tough curmudgeon with a heart of gold. Newbie assistant office manager Jon Hammond is also put through the ropes.
Like TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta," this reality show does not debase or embarrass Atlanta in any way unlike some other show you might be thinking of.

Hi! I watched the first episode with a sense of "this is how an auction gallery gets things done behind the scenes." I was able to see the Red Baron Auction Gallery in Atlanta, which I'd only received their wonderful catalogues. Each person has his/her job to do to make a successful auction. We've collected and dealt in all kinds of antiques since 1972. I would love to attend one of Paul's auctions to see the action in person. They habdle some wonderful, rare items. I'd never seen a vampire kit for sale anywhere- and it brouht $12,000! Wow! A Nazi officers guide?! Fascinating! Give us more.

Watched the show to see how it compared to Pawn Stars and Pickers. It is OK, but I was disapointed in how little research (or lack of good research) was done on some items that would have brought more money if the item had been properly advertized. When an "expert" doesn't recognize a Knights Templar sword, and the rarity of a prayer book and get the interested buyers involved it shows how a person can get less than what the actual value is. But then it is the same with Pickers and Pawn Stars – when you look at the potential value and what the selller is given.

I saw two of your shows back to back last night. Excellent work and great promotional for the stores. Your Dad looked sharp. Paul I thought you were Tom Cruise, also looking very smart. Inquiring minds want to know if Barry Gibb, I mean Kevin, will be making a guest appearance on the show? I guess Cindy has a new nickname– "the Love Machine"?
Love all you guys, Mike

That guy Paul Brown comes across as the most pretentious man alive. Seriously, stop trying so hard to be Rick Harrison. The whole show is a blatant rip-off of Pawn Stars. Everything in the show including the style of the interviews, the documentation of the pieces, and even the music are copied from 'Pawn Stars'. The History Channel is just trying to cash in on this show style, as is TruTV with the equally God-awful 'Hardcore Pawn'.
