Tasha's Century-Old Home
House Call
Name: Tasha
Location: Richmond, Virginia — Woodland Heights Neighborhood
Our home is 100 years old this year, but it was completely re-done just before we bought it last year. It is the best of both worlds — traditional and contemporary elements tied together by color.
As a professional craftsperson, I tend to let form follow function in my design. Our house is furnished in a style that is comfortable and attractive in a down-to-earth sort of way. Lots of shelving for pottery, walls filled with art and lots of seating since we like to entertain.
Thanks Tasha!

The Morphy Richards 48762 6 Litre 290 Watt Partition Pot Slow Cooker Polished Steel is a brand new model made by the number one manufacturer of Slow Cookers in the UK, Morphy Richards.
It has one main selling point and that is the partition This allows you to cook more than one meal or type of food at once and is a great feature that isn't actually present in many Slow Cookers.
It has only been out for a month at the time of writing but early reviews are extremely positive. I think this is going to prove to be a big hit. There aren't many slow cookers on the market with the partition so it is going to
About Morphy Richards 48762 6 Litre 290 Watt Partition Pot Slow Cooker Polished Steel
When Was It Released?
This is an extremely new model, being released in April 2013. This explains why it doesn't have many reviews yet.
You know that you are getting the most up to date technology and style when you buy a brand new model.
Who Is It For?
There would be two main reason to buy this model over other, competing ones. Firstly the capacity, it is extremely important to pick the right size. This is ideal for larger families (or smaller families who eat more). If you are unsure what size to get then I would go for this one as it is better to get one that is slightly too large than one that is too small.
The second reason is the partition, this is very much the unique selling point of this model. Allows you to cook two separate things at the same time, be it two parts of one meal or two separate meals. Not many slow cookers have this so if you would like that then I would definitely recommend this one.
About The Manufacturer
Morphy Richards are without doubt the number one manufacturer of Slow Cooker in the UK. They dominate the bestseller lists and their products generally get fantastic reviews. In terms of brand names you really can't do better.
They're actually a British company, being based in South Yorkshire and they manufacture a whole range of kitchen and household appliances.
You can visit their official site here, the official product page here.
What Are The Best Features?
- Partition - As you can see in the image next to this, there is a partition in the bowl. As I explained above it allows you to cook two completely separate things at the same time. Ideal for a number of reason, if you have two foods in one meal, you want to make multiple meals at once, you have different food preferences for one meal in your family and much more.
- Large Capacity - A massive 6 Litres of capacity means that you can cook a huge meal for your family in one go, add this in with the partition and you shouldn't need any other appliances.
- Various Settings - Has the usual different cooking level settings, high and low.
- Easy to Clean - The bowl is removable and dishwasher safe meaning you don't have to waste any time scrubbing over the sink. The removable pot also means that you can store in the fridge, or pre-heat it on the hob.
User Reviews
As I stated above this is a very new model, only been out a month at the time of writing and as such it doesn't have many reviews (only 4 right now) but all of them are 5 out of 5 so users are clearly pleased with this product so far.
Click below to read some of the user reviews.

Are There Any Problems, Complaints or Negative Reviews
At the time of writing there are only two reviews, and both of these are 5 star. Having been out for a month and no negative reviews yet would suggest that this is a decent product with no overwhelming design flaws because if there was they probably would have been mentioned by now.
If there are any negative reviews left I will update this page.
My Recommendation
I would say that this is an excellent product and would have no real hesitation in recommending it, there isn't really any other reason to go for it other than the partition because it's features are fairly standard. But if the partition appeals to you or you think that you will use it then you won't be disappointed The decent early reviews suggest that the Morphy Richards 48762 is another winner from Morphy Richards.

When it was all said and done-at least officially on Sunday afternoon-the best basketball of the day was sitting in the hands of E'Twaun Moore.
It was a trophy ball, handed to him by Troy Smith, who held the all-time minutes played mark at Purdue before Moore played 28 minutes to break it against Iowa.
Funny how such an award was given to Moore on a day when many could have staked a claim to the basketball in a very even effort against a young Hawkeyes team.
While Moore and his senior teammate JaJuan Johnson did take 32 of the team's 61 shots Sunday, the final scoring totals showed a desire to get players the ball in the right places.
In the end, eight different players reached the scoreboard for the Boilers, who easily beat the Hawkeyes 72-65 on Friday night.
"If you gonna double JaJuan Johnson or shade E'Twaun Moore when he comes off screens or gets in transition, somebody is going to be open," said head coach Matt Painter.
It happened a few times on Sunday, especially when it came to guard Ryne Smith. The junior guard continued his solid start to the Big Ten season by scoring a game high 18 points-which came thanks to 6-of-9 shooting from behind the arc.
Many of Smith's looks were open one throughout the game, which he credits to ball movement among his teammates.
"My teammates are doing a good job of getting in the paint and getting stuff for everyone and not just me and finding me when I'm open," said Smith, who is so far averaging an even 17 points a game in conference play.
While also getting the benefit of the extra attention on Johnson and Moore, Kelsey Barlow managed to make his own shots as well on his way to a solid scoring effort. Using a few drives and fast breaks, Barlow hit four of his five shots to add to his 11-point effort.
Add in Johnson and Moore's efforts (16 and 11 points respectively), Purdue had a second consecutive game with four players in double digits.
"We've got guys making shots, its just not us it's a team thing," said Moore of the various offensive contributions on the Purdue squad. "That's something we've been trying to work on for this whole year just playing well as a team and getting everyone on the same page."
While the toughest competition of the Big Ten season still lies ahead, their effort to create cohesion have led to a ten-game winning streak and their first 4-0 start in the Big Ten since the 1995-1996 season.
"It's really good, especially in the Big Ten season that we're having all these guys step up," said Johnson.

"Party girl to G.I. Jane"
Steele "bit__" sums it up.
Pace was so fast. You have to pay attention. Great dialogue, simple, but paints a fast clear picture. Great military dialogue. It makes you want to learn military speak.
Avery and Larkin. I purchased this book as I love Ms Gordon's sexy male voices.
yes, when the special borg's expire
this is not my type of listen, but I buy most of Ms Gordon's reads. This was just great as read by Ms Gordon.
""Take a Walk on the Wildside""
I like Dr Josh's story best. This one & Amy's story are about the same quality. You will enjoy all 3. You do not have to listen in any order, connected but could stand alone.
See js two other chocolate books. Lots of fun and good feelings. YOU must be in the mood for it. If not get a good mystery to get you out of the stress!
If you like this reader, try her best JS, Head Over Heels. She makes Ty "Cute Mystery guy" come to life in this book. Do not pay attention to other reviewers, Erin Bennett does a good job on the other two stories!
Good overall feeling. These 3 chocolate stories are the best of the lucky harbor series.
Get a pen ready as chocolate recipes are at the end of each book. Yum yum
""Armed, Locked & Loaded""
J.S. has this wonderful Chocolate triology, my fave of the 3, Forever and a Day, Dr. Josh aka Dr McHottie. This is about Ranger Hot Buns. J S has out done herself on these 3. Great fun dialogue that makes you smile REAL big. These are not brain teasers or FSOG type books. Just great fun when you need a reminder not to overlook it in the daily grind. Fun chocolate receipes at the end of each book. This set of 3 are better than the last 3 of Luckey Harbor, 3 sisters running an inn. These will not disappoint and are so much better writting, storyline and dialogue.
Luckey in Love and Forever and a Day. SH made sure she worked hard to give the fans humor, hunky men, and a good moral reminder.
Ok, she is not the best of readers, BUT she had great material in 2 of these 3 stories and she made our hunky hotties not miss a beat. I did not agree with other reviewers. Suela El Attar has a higher pitched voice and did good on Ty's story, but she is not my fave either. Now Karen White's reads of SH are to die for. Everything good.
yup, I owned Ty's story and Dr. Josh. After I finished Dr. Josh, I downloaded and listed to this one as I wanted to continue the warm smile reader left me with. I know Ty's story will finish the job with S E A reading.
make sure you catch the wonderful Chocolate receipes at the end of each book. JS has a new batch of characters. I can only hope the readers do justice to her fun pace and dialogue.
""Obliques That can Make You Weak""
YES, if you are a good fan of JS, then this story will just grab your heart. This one is right up there with Rumor Has it and Then Came You by JS, my faves. As you listen you get that "ahaa" all through the listen. Hot scenes are yummy but not graphic. This are light listens that can give you that all around good feeling. Lots of humor, but YOU must be in the mood for it or you will miss it.
Our hero is too die for. Same kind of story in Then Came You, read by Karen White,the best at JS stories. This listen captures your heart!
EB is not the best choice, but she is better than Annie Green! I own all of Karen White's JS recordings. Yummy on KW's heros! EB can only be good if the story is great. IE Rogue rider by Larissa Ione. I just purchased but not yet listened to Susan E. Phillips, Heros Are My Weakness. This reader and SEP book not getting good reviews. Not sure why S.E.P. picked this reader as she needs a hit and has not gotten it in your last 2 books. EB just drops her voice a little bit for male voices. This story has a dreamboat of a hero, so she gets by and you are not disappointed or distracted.
The scenes of Toby and Tank eating cereal out of the same bowl, or Doc getting weak with our heroine makes you have that nice warm glow inside. Every kid would want a dad like the Doc.
"Wild For Her"
This was a long one, but you get deep into it real fast! This is my fave of the 10 I own. I have not listened in the written order and I am real glad I did not as I would have lost interest. This one is hot and funny and seems different than the others I purchased. More intense in every aspect. You learn to love Lothaire as a hunk after 16 hrs of a fast pace.
He is a real bad ass kind of character. If you love this type, then you will love this book as much as I did. Try Sandra brown Slow Heat in Heaven
I had to get use to the Russian accent, but ended up loving it after 16 hrs. Thaddeus was such a sweet heart. RP is a genius with voices and this series. KC has gotten much better in telling a story as this series progresses. I feel her later stories are much better than the first few. If you must listen in order, press on to at least this book. It will not disappoint you.
The sex scenes were so very hot and erotic. Very well done and great use of the imagination and storyline. Beware, they are erotic.
Do not let the long listen keep you from buying this great listen! I put off starting as I did not want to comit 16 hrs. Oh I did not want it to end it was that good and fast paced.
"You Get a Second Chance"
this is a good one, not as dark as the other stories. A bit lighter over all. Beware, like other PC stories, there are graphic paragraphs that always pain a strong violent picture. These can stay with you for a bit.
this is the sister of Hunter's story. Both are a good listen
Nate's dad. this was a good story as more male voices that Kaleo does so dreamily!
this was a short good listen that can encourage others, YOU always have a second chance to do the right thing.
I own striking distance, but have had to stop already. I am into ch 6 and it does not seem a good listen for me, the inner thoughts in Spanish is taking away from the outline of the story. I maybe burned out on PC novels
"Beware: Not Mean Streak"
I listened to J.Davis in new Sandra Brown Mean Streak and went looking for other reads. Nope, this book in chapter 2 made me stop.
This was a soap opera listen for me. Other reviewers thought it was very funny, but it was boring for me
He is such a great reader,but he can only perform what is written well. He can be so sexy, but this story was about a man who came out of the closet. Not my interest at all.
I stopped at ch. 2. I have hundreds of books to be listen and just did not want to waste my listening time.
Audible, please find other good romance reads for J.Davis. Not sure if he has an AKA, under J.F. Harding, but the 2 listens from this man I own seems to be similar.
"Cajun Seal"
I purchased this book as J. F. read it. I own many of Sandra Hill books, but never really had the time to read them. Her humor is her best feature in her books, including this one.
simple story with good humor to make it better.
J.F. was good in this book. Good use of voices and he had a good reading pace.
yup, enjoy family a bit more
"Whoa Baby"
Fun, sexy, cleaver. You have to like fun short listens that are related by cleaver dialogue . These are not wordy. In fact, you must like filling in the blanks.
Short stories, Katie Reus are a fun listen. Erin Mallon is the reader aka Hollie Jackson
This is my first HJ listen, but this reader has many AKA names, which I own. HJ reads seem to have a faster pace than her Sophie Eastlake reads. I love her Erin Mallon reads as they are a real fast pace. I am going to check out HJ reads as this book was WONDERFUL and HJ made the boys really come to life. I have come to appreciate her talent. Her Aussie Accent is great, Playing the Part.
Yes as it is a quick, fun, and make you feel good book. This author is closer to erotica, but she knows how to tame it down with humor
Beware this has strong language and erotic scenes that are really hot. This is not a tame listen. Enjoy
"Soap Opera, Awful"
I listened to Sandra Brown, Mean Steak and wanted another read from reader. This author is just not for me. After 3 hrs, I just had to stop. If the pace was twice as fast, it could MAYBE have saved this read.
I am trying to find another good author by this reader.
Not sure why J.D. read this work so slow. It was a waste of his great talent. Mean Streak was so fast pace, that I listened to it straight through. Some author's may tell reader what they want in the read. If so, slow is just not doing it.
I am not a fair judge of this author as this is not my genre.
"Snake Mean"
Oh yes! If you are a long time fan of S.B.,like I am, then you will love her new adventure. If you are new to S.B., then you need to read reviews. She writes a light mystery with romance, and make no mistake, the small bit of romance can be hot in some of her reads. No one writes a few hot scenes, better than S.B. This one has some hot ones, Oh boy! These are not FSOG type listens.
S.B. can write with multiple character scenarios going on, so if you do not like following that type of writing, then beware, this has it. For a long time fan, this was well done, and up there in top 5.
Oh my, how yummy he reads this story! The pace was wonderfully fast, and it made the time fly by and engrossed you in the story. I just did not want it to end. Reader has a list of books, most in the full credit range, so you know his value. S.B. got him on a bargain on this read. I love romance and I can only hope audible, has this reader do more. His female voice is very good, and most males readers can not pull it off. His male voice is too die for and can make your toes curl during the hot scenes.
S.B. books can leave you with a lasting impression that makes you want to re listen when time permits. She was a core romance writer before going main stream, hence the few hot scenes can be as erotic as all get out. She knows how to make the hero as sexy as can be in just a few words.
if you enjoy this book, then try witness, white hot my fave, and smoke screen. Chill factor has some of of this read same element, but it is still very different. Sandra, well done on this one!

Growing up in a community of Jewish astronomers and scientists in Pasadena, Calif., meant searching for God while exploring the heavens
In January 1931, Albert Einstein spent a night at a mountaintop observatory 5,700 feet above Pasadena, Calif., the city where I grew up. He was on Mount Wilson to see for himself the evidence, first presented by the astronomer Edwin Hubble, that the universe was expanding. The visit was captured on film by a young Frank Capra. During the afternoon, Einstein had ridden to the top of a 150-foot-high solar telescope and examined the framework of the 100-inch reflector telescope. In the evening, he spent hours looking through the 100-inch, peering at Jupiter and Mars and observing spiral nebulae. A few days later, Einstein met with a group of scientists at the observatory's headquarters and announced that the conception he had always accepted of a static and immutable universe was incorrect. Hubble's evidence, he said, "has smashed my old construction like a hammer."
At the time Einstein made his ascent to Mount Wilson, Pasadena was not yet 60 years old, but it was already rising to scientific prominence. From the discoveries at Mount Wilson to the experiments taking place down at the California Institute of Technology to the later development of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which specializes in unmanned space missions, Pasadena would become a crucial hub for astronomy and astrophysics in the 20th century.
Shortly before embarking on his California adventure, Einstein had published an article in the New York Times Magazine titled "Religion and Science." In it, he explained what he called a "cosmic religious feeling," based on a sense of sublime order in both nature and in the realm of the mind.
"I maintain that the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research," he wrote. He then described the incredible devotion and solitary labor that it takes to see a work of scientific research through to its truthful end and concluded: "A contemporary has said, not unjustly, that in this materialistic age of ours the serious scientific workers are the only profoundly religious people."
Growing up in Pasadena and attending a synagogue where so many congregants were employed by Caltech or JPL, I found the amiable collision of science and religion that Einstein conveys perfectly ordinary. It occurred to me only recently that Pasadena's Jewish community derived a distinctive texture from the fact that a significant segment of it was involved in some kind of mind-blowing cosmic research. Friends' dads, moms' friends, next-door neighbors, weird disheveled congregants at the synagogue, and shoppers at the supermarket—everyone seemed connected somehow to outer space and the origins of the universe. The cultural references and talismans of science were woven into our experience of being Jewish.
My friend Elana once went to a Passover Seder at the home of one of her dad's Jet Propulsion Laboratory colleagues. When it came time to serve the soup, the host lamented that the matzo balls were as hard and dense as a neutron star. "Oh no," her guests assured her. "The matzo balls are wonderful, just as light and fluffy as planetary nebulae."
But is there something Jewish about astronomy? It's hard not to draw connections between a vocation that probes the heavens for clues to our origins and a tradition that so fervently demands a quest for knowledge. Jews have been claiming science in general as a characteristically Jewish discipline at least as far back as the 12th-century biblical commentary of Rabbi Abraham Ibn Ezra. Astronomy, in particular, was a fundamental skill for early Jews setting up calendars and knowing which holidays should come when. The Jewish imagination of a universe with a point of origin and an end helped to structure the modern Western idea of linear time.
"It certainly is a Jewish thing to argue with God," says Larry Scherr, Elana's dad. Until last year, he was an optical engineer at JPL, where he helped make the lenses for the Mars Rovers. "Are we arguing with God when we're trying to understand how the universe works? I don't know."
My own family has been largely unburdened by any scientific ability or inclination, but my parents' jobs were intertwined with the science community, and their affiliated institutions formed the major landmarks of my childhood. My dad is on the faculty at Caltech, teaching music and conducting the joint Occidental-Caltech orchestra. My brother and I spent summers splashing in the Caltech pool and spring evenings roaming the path that winds its way through the school. During the intermissions from my dad's concerts at Ramo Auditorium, we looked for frogs among the lily-pads in the concrete-enclosed ponds that dot the campus. My first real job was at the Athenaeum, Caltech's fancy faculty club, where I waitressed for a few weeks before being erased from the roster after dropping trays of champagne glasses at two weddings in a row.
My mom worked for many years as the assistant to the director of the Carnegie Institution, which founded the Mount Wilson Observatories in the San Gabriel Mountains. One day she brought home a chunk of glass that was leftover from a lens cut for Carnegie's new giant telescope in Chile. Believing this irregular, yellowing block blessed me with special astronomical capabilities, I took two semesters of astronomy in college. I barely passed both times.
The prominence of science in our community somehow led, in my education, to a looser, more open sort of theology, since nobody would bother trying to square the Bible with the natural world. I remember being told very little as a small child about how to think about God, except that he was everywhere. At around the same age, I was told that the universe was infinite, a similarly baffling and seemingly mystical notion. The two ideas bound themselves together in my mind, and the phrase "ruler of the universe" that appeared in our Shabbat prayers, conjured up for me imagery of clockwork and constellations glowing bright in an endless field of black.
It only occurred to me when I was a teenager to ask my dad why he believed in God. It was the miracle of music, he said, of Mozart and Mahler, which he felt no arrangement of neurons could explain. (This actually fit very well with the one anthropomorphic image of God I had formed as a child: It was Eugene Ormandy, conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, as rendered on the psychedelic back-cover of a record of Peter and the Wolf narrated by David Bowie.)
Pasadena might not seem at first glance like a hospitable place for a Jewish community. Founded by a cadre of Indiana Presbyterians seeking sunshine cures for their ailments, the city once used restrictive covenants to keep Jews from buying houses in its better neighborhoods. Although Pasadena is now about as diverse as the rest of Los Angeles, it has retained a popular reputation as a WASP-y, old-money enclave through generations of Rose Queens and Junior League dances. Robert Millikan, the visionary founding president of Caltech, once boasted that the region surrounding his school was the "westernmost outpost of Nordic civilization." Yet Millikan packed his faculty with top-shelf Jews, drawing in such Semitic talent as Theodore von Karman, Paul Epstein, and Einstein.
The intellectuals Caltech drew from across the country and across the globe helped make the city a far more cosmopolitan place. "I think Pasadena would be an insufferable little town without Caltech and JPL," says Judy Goodstein, who ran the Caltech archives from 1968 until 2009. "It would be parochial, insular, a couple of country clubs, and nothing much to write home about."
By the 1920s, Pasadena had become known as "the western clearing house for eastern genius." This migration pattern continued into my childhood, as all the scientists I knew, indeed nearly all the local Jews of my parents' generation, came to California from the east. Their paths took them through Cornell, MIT, and sometimes Los Alamos before depositing them at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. For dads like my dad, which is to say, bearded, Jewish dads, those mountains seem to have inspired an irresistible compulsion to slap sandals over their socks and set out along dusty sage- and pine-scented trails.
"That ridge of mountains up there has a big effect," says Marshall Cohen, a retired Caltech radio astronomer. "It's a sense of the west—an openness."
Cohen lives around the corner from my parents. He grew up in New Jersey and Baltimore and started doing radio astronomy at Cornell in the 1950s. He joined Caltech's faculty in 1968 and spent most of his career studying the radio waves of galaxies and galactic nucleii in deep space. He's a member of my parents' synagogue who describes his ties to Judaism as entirely cultural. He finds religious faith irrelevant and perplexing when scientific fact is in itself so marvelous.
"Intellectually, there's an easy way to look at the universe, which is using methods of science, and you get this grand, astounding picture," he says. "But if you look at it through religion, you get a very narrow, pinched view, which doesn't make any sense.
"One of the most interesting things is that there's this fabulous universe, which is so enormously big and so complex, but people can understand it. We're part of the universe, but we are able to contemplate and grasp the size of the universe, the essence, the scale, the workings, the laws. And I don't think that religion has much to do with that."
The history of scientific discovery in Pasadena is intimately bound to its topography. Along the Western edge of the city runs the Arroyo Seco, a dry riverbed valley that stretches from downtown Los Angeles up into the San Gabriel Mountains. The most prominent structure in the Arroyo, the reason most people have heard of Pasadena at all, is the Rose Bowl. But two miles north along the Arroyo, the kingdom of the jocks gives way to a palace of science, Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Now a branch of NASA managed by Caltech, JPL got its start when a few Caltech grad students and affiliated amateurs, including black-magic occultist Jack Parsons, began blowing up rockets at Devil's Gate in the north end of the canyon under the guidance of aeronautics professor Theodore Von Karman, a Hungarian who came to Pasadena in the 1920s to find opportunities that had been closed to Jews at the University of Aachen in Germany.

Be serious: GOPers dismiss Obama's fiscal cliff offer, only to present us (again) with Paul Ryan's cruel plan
Be serious: GOPers dismiss Obama's fiscal cliff offer, only to present us (again) with Paul Ryan's cruel plan
House Speaker John Boehner and his Republican colleagues have laughed off President Obama's 'fiscal cliff' offer, but as usual, they have nothing substantial to replace it with. We've witnessed this through the health care debate and pretty much with every issue. Here's their 'plan.' The Paul Ryan budget. You know, the guy we didn't vote for that stood by the losing candidate, Mitt Romney's side. Yes, that one. Paul Ryan's plan: "Ryan's budget isn't courageous — it's just cruel. Three-fifths of the cuts he wants would hit those with low incomes, while those who have the most would continue getting more. It's no wonder the former altar boy has had his knuckles rapped by a group of nuns for peddling a budget that "rejects church teaching about solidarity, inequality, the choice for the poor, and the common good." http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/katrina-vanden-heuvel-paul-ryan-cruel-not-courageous/2012/08/14/a2dbd388-e56b-11e1-936a-b801f1abab19_story.html And that is the Republican plan to better the economy and steer us off that foreboding fiscal cliff -- if you're a higher earner -- while tossing the middle class right off the ledge. Ah, good times.... Merry Christmas to you too John Boehner.

The 2009 Megane will make its world debut next month at the Paris Auto Show, but, as usual, it couldn't remain a secret until its official debut; the Spanish web-page KM77 revealed the first official images today. The 2009 Megane's design is inspired by both the Megane Coupe Concept and the new Laguna .
No word yet on what will power Renault's bread and butter small hatch, but more info should become available as we get closer to the Paris Auto Show.
Although Renault does not currently sell cars in the U.S., it does share a partnership with Nissan. So it's always good to keep tabs on Renault, because you never know what may show up on these shores wearing a Nissan badge.

6 News is providing this copy of the article, "Meyers explains birth control methods," as it was to appear in the Oak Leaf, Oak Ridge High School's monthly newspaper. Read it and decide for yourself if the school administration was right in censoring the article.
Meyers explains birth control methods
by Krystal Meyers
According to a poll taken in 2001, if applied to ORHS today, then there would be
**This information was provided by Dr. Charles E. Darling, an obstetrician with the Anderson County Health center. **
If these figures hold true, 692 ORHS students have had sexual intercourse. There are many concerns for these teens, including emotional health, STD's, and pregnancies. I want to discuss how to lower the risk of unwanted pregnancy.
While complete sexual abstinence is certainly an option, these statistics say that many teens aren't choosing that option.
My opinion is, if you're going to have sex, then be safe. There are so many things out there that can keep you safe. These methods include:
"There are some things that a lot of people don't know about many of these contraceptives that make the failure rate so high," Dr. Darling cautions.
The only way for male condoms to actually work correctly is as soon as the male ejaculates he must pull out so there won't be any leakage into the vaginal area. This, unfortunately, is not widely practiced and therefore ups the risk of pregnancy.
"If you are taking any medications and you wish to be put on Depo-Provera you should go and talk to your OB/GYN before and make sure that they will work together. There have been many cases where a certain medication has shortened the 12 week infertility period by almost 3 weeks. This causes women to be able to get pregnant during this time period," said a current substitute teacher and a former employee at a pregnancy center, who asked that we not use her name.
"Withdrawal is risky because many men do not realize when semen is released the first bit of semen contains a large quantity of sperm," Dr. Darling stated.
If you are considering any kind of birth control, please talk to your doctor first and let him know of any medications that you may be on to be sure that it is right for you.
Statistics show the number of teens involved with sexual intercourse has been declining since 1991; now 43% of women and 49% of men admit to being sexually active in high school.
"Continuous use of the pill and the patch has not been well studied, nor are there large studies done on the effectiveness of the vaginal ring," said Darling.
"If you get a pregnancy test done and you find out that you are pregnant, you can make sure that the parents do not know. Also parental consent is not needed to obtain birth control," stated Darling.
Contraceptives can be obtained through a local physician or the local Health Department. The Anderson County Health Department is open on Mon - Fri 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is located at 100 N Main St, Clinton, TN 37716. You can reach them during normal business hours at (865) 457-6228

How To Decorate With Mirrors
Even if people used to use mirrors, on the past, just for beauty reasons, nowadays, decorating a house or a building with mirrors is quite in trend, and therefore, it is used by more and more people.
Though, how easy is to change decorate a house with mirrors? Well, to be honest with you, it's not that easy, especially if you want to decorate it in a modern way.
Though, if you wish to use the mirrors in the old classic way, things aren't that difficult. Most of the places where windows are placed are lobbies, entrance rooms, bathrooms and even dormitories. For these rooms, there are used regular sized mirrors, depending directly of the space allocated for the mirror and of the preference of the users.
The nowadays trend is to use large mirrors. The larger, the better. The wall-sized mirrors are used especially in lobbies or in enlightened places where the users can properly see how are they looking without using an additional lightning source. The only disadvantage of these large mirrors is the fact that they can easy break, and therefore certain precautions must be taken, in order to prevent the destroying the of the mirror. As you all know, once that a mirror is broken, the users can't use it no more as it will have an ugly aspect.
In some bedrooms, mirrors are hanged all over the walls. This type of decoration offers more light to the bedroom, and of course, it is also offering some more powerful feelings for the couples who decided to decorate their bedroom with mirrors.
No further than that, mirror decorations are also used for elevators or for small places. By decorating with a large mirror a small place, the people passing through that elevator/small place won't have the feeling that they are in a type of coffin and that is because mirrors will give the sensation that that space is larger than it really is.
The furniture producers began producing furniture with mirrors incorporated few years ago, when more and more people began to complain that the space from their apartments is to small. Therefore, nowadays we have closets with large mirrors on the interior part of the doors as well as there are mirrors incorporated on the exterior face of some pieces of furniture. The idea of this mix is perfect as it saves money and space, facts that are quite vital in the 21st century.

September 17 2014 Latest news:
Lynn players were celebrating again on Saturday after a vital 2-0 win at Newport Pagnell Town. Picture: Matthew Usher
By GAVIN CANEY, Sports Reporter
Monday, February 27, 2012
You could see from the touchline celebrations just how important King's Lynn Town's victory was on a day that Gary Setchell admitted could be a pivotal one in the United Counties Premier Division title race.
Setchell and his backroom staff enjoyed a Brian Kidd moment as they celebrated wildly on the pitch, jumping for joy as the Linnets took a huge step towards realising their dream of getting out of the UCL.
But unlike Kidd's iconic celebrations at Old Trafford following Steve Bruce's Premier League injury-time winner against Sheffield Wednesday in 1993, Setchell was punching the air in delight on three separate occasions on Saturday.
Firstly, when Steve Spriggs had put his side in front. Secondly, when Stuart Wall had secured Lynn's 2-0 win at Newport Pagnell Town. And thirdly, when the Linnets boss realised title rivals Long Buckby had lost their first league game of the season 1-0 at home to Yaxley.
Setchell said: "It could prove to be a really big day in the title race - results wise it was the biggest day of the season so far.
"I was delighted when we scored our goals - I actually pulled my hamstring a little bit when the first one went in! But that's because we're playing under pressure - we know how important it is for this football club to get out of this league.
"If someone would have said to me that we could win at Newport Pagnell, which we knew was going to be a difficult fixture, and Yaxley would beat Long Buckby we'd have been more than happy. The day couldn't have gone any better."
Two second-half goals in the space of 120 seconds secured a hard-fought win for title-chasing Lynn - who have now opened up a nine-point gap over Buckby.
Setchell admits his side need to concentrate on their own games, having played three games more than their nearest challengers, and revealed he refused to believe Yaxley had done his side a favour until he had heard the score for himself.
"I had to ring someone from Yaxley just to double check," said a smiling Setchell.
"It wasn't that difficult going into our second half knowing Buckby were losing because the other week at S&L Corby we heard they were 2-0 down and they actually ended up winning 6-0. Even after the game we were still saying 'are you sure?'
"We had to earn the right to play against Newport. I told the lads to just keep believing at half-time. Some of them were looking dejected because they'd been semi beat-up in the first half. I knew a goal would hurt them and we got two in quick succession. It was a battle and I think to win the league you have to be able to change the way you play sometimes.
"The ball was up in the air from Newport more than it was on the deck so we found it very, very difficult in the first half. But the lads stayed patient and once we got the goals I always felt we looked comfortable."

Pontiac Grand Prix Starting / Stalling Issues
shane7755 Posts: 1Its your fuel pump going out get a ac delco pump and have both filters changed there are to fuel filters and never let it go under a quarter of a tank and never use ethanol and never use any kind of fuel cleaner crap use 87 octane 100% gas every 3000 miles put a octane booster in the gas before filling and change both fuel filter every 6 months
pontiaclives Posts: 19It could be the fuel pump as the other post suggests but if you replaced it a few years ago it should be still good unless it was a third party or re-manufactured part that went bad. I had similar symptoms with my 99 GP, and replacing the mass air flow sensor fixed the problem, have you replaced that.
morgan71 Posts: 25I had the same problem. After doing a little troubleshooting, I checked the wires that connect to the fuel pump and one of the connectors was bad. It didn't connect to the pump properly. I simply replaced both connectors. That was over a year ago and it starts up like a champ everytime. Your pump is easily accessible from your trunk. Remove the trunk liner and then remove the cover to the pump. You'll see 2 wires running to it. If you are able, start your car and then wiggle the wires to see if it stalls and dies. If so, there's your problem and your answer. If you are not able to start it, move the wires around a little, gently, also make sure you have the key in the on position, this way you will hear the pump turn on and when you wiggle the wires you'll be able to determine if its the wires or not. Hope this helps.
takumi_ western canadaPosts: 7Try cleaning the aluminum bracket under the coil packs and the base of the ignition module (the square part the coil packs and wiring are screwed to). I used carb cleaner and a red scotch pad. Worked like new after. That area acts as a ground for the coils and module, and once corroded, causes the car to buck and sputter. A bad ignition module will cause the sputtering as well, but usually will sputter once the motor is up to running temps. (Runs fine cold) G.L.

I've also got a My 2001 Grand Prix GT has been "fixed" three times by a previous owners, and it stills stalls out on the hiway randomly. Now normally, I'd just assume the problem was unrelated to whatever the mechanics fixed (i.e. MAF, cam and crank position sensors, PVC valve, mapping sensor were replaced before I got this car). Also the security feature suggested if it's actually the security system that randomly engaging. The 1997-2003 Grand Prix with an alarm system ( there is a 3 on the Key to see this) have a Passkey III immobilizer-type setup that cuts power to the fuel pump and starter. To check for this when your car is stalled turn it to the accessory mode for 10min then to the off mode and it should start if it is the key..
This is EXACTLY what happens when it stalls out; the car will just suddenly die, with no warning at all except a shudder, and the "low oil pressure" and "low voltage" warning lights on the dash come on. When you try to restart, the fuel pump doesn't consistently engage, as if it's still trying to immobilize the car. I need to take the battery cable off wait and it seems to rest the computer...
Please Help me i found that many people have this problem and the scrap yard is full of these cars...

Ok, let me give you the back story...
-Bout 8 months ago i gave my buddy my park avenue to swap motors into a Grand Prix GT i picked up with a blown motor. L67, Gen V, 1.85YT, SD Headers, 75 shot N2O, etc, etc
-I believe that he took my motor and put it in his Impala, which is a story i'll save for later. Which i believe he top swapped his motor and put it in my car and dropped the complete L67 block in his. Makes it worse because i helped him find the parts to do it.
-Guy on the forum tuned my PCM for these particular parts, which apparently i no longer have. Now since i started driving the car i put it on the highway like on my way to work and it randomly stalls out. No matter the time of day and no warning signs. RPM's dont drop fast but gradually fall back to zero.
-I have replaced MAF, plugs, IAC, ICM, Coil packs, BBV, vac lines.
-He did put on my SSIC, but knows if he did it right and swapped my pulley down to a 3.25. I did not buy the swap kit from zzp, so he spliced the wires for the map sensor, could they be wired up wrong?
On the streets the it runs ok, it doesnt stall out at all. On the highway which is how i get to work is my issue. Out of nowhere and boom dead. It does however start back up immediately.

Life's a Drag
Are leashes for kids okay?
Brett Berk: 37-year-old Melissa Catherine Smith-Means created controversy when she dragged her child on a leash in a Verizon store, and someone got it on tape.
She was later arrested on child cruelty charges.
While I'm all in favor of leashes for vicious dogs, circus tigers, and between consenting adults, I'm not so into them for kids. Sure, it's an effective means to keep your child from running away from you while you're cruising the aisles of Target, or to prevent them from tearing into the street while you're gossiping with the neighbor on the sidewalk. But then again, so is handcuffing them to the shopping cart or chaining them to a post in the middle of the front yard. As with most things with young kids, simply because it "works" doesn't mean it's just, proper, or healthy.
My rejection of leashes is based mainly on the fact that they're solely an external mode of control, one that's implemented ON the child, and one with which they have no input or agency. It's my feeling that effective discipline -- and by this I mean behavior management tools that are actionable, functional, and operative in the long term -- defines clear boundaries and repercussions in advance, and puts the onus on the kid to figure out how to comply and find their own center. In other words, ways of implementing your authority that allow the child to rationally engage with your demands and figure things out, rather than just be told what to do. When kids are required to think, and develop an ownership stake in things, they tend to comprehend more and respond better.
But you might not agree. You might think your toddler tether is the only thing standing between you and rambunctiousness, or find it adorable and a great way to accessorize an outfit (pink dress; green harness; silver chain: voila!). Still, even those leash lovers in the audience would probably admit that if you're going to utilize this product, you should stick to doing so in a manner that demonstrates the modicum of respect you would provide to even the most reviled family pet -- a baseline that includes not using the living being attached to the far end like a ball-and-chain, a slingshot, or a Swiffer. And that if you're intentionally not going to conform to this rather low bar, you should probably consider doing so away from a phalanx of in-mall security cameras so that you don't end up looking like a self-centered, abusive harpy in front of the entire Internet.
Or maybe you just REALLY want that bedazzled cell phone case and you have to get over to the display before some other bitch steals it out from under you. In which case, drag away.
|Brett Berk, M.S. Ed. has worked with young children and their families for over 20 years--as a classroom teacher, preschool director, and research consultant--and is the author of "The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting."
Brittney, you obviously felt strongly about what was happening(with good reason). Did you or anyone else that you saw in that store say anything to this mother?
I think that leashes are okay for special needs kids.
That said, if I see a kid with a leash, I just assume that there is something wrong with them.
I've always commented to friends when I've seen people dragging (not in the same sense as this dragging) their child along on a leash. To me, it's a sign that the parent either a) can't control their child or b) doesn't have the patience to keep an eye on them 24/7 as required. It's pure and simple laziness. I can guarantee you if I would have seen this in the store, the mother and I would have had it out. She should be brought up on child cruelty charges.
I think what everyone, including the author of the article, is overlooking here is that this issue has really nothing to do with leashing or not leashing a child. That mother probably would've dragged the child with or without a leash. The issue really is, why do some people become parents if they can't parent.
I personally do not use a leash, however I would not put down a parent who does as it seems the author of this article has. My aunt and I went to Sea World with our sons. At the time she had a two-year old son, a four year old son, and was 8 months pregnant with her daughter. She decided for the safety of her two year old son to use a leash. Her son did in fact stay with her the whole time, but if he HAD run off I am glad that she had that safety net. So while this video is disgusting I cannot disagree with them as a whole.
Yeah I do think it's important to recognize that whether there was a leash involved or not I think this mother would have been dragging the kid by the arm instead of the leash and maybe he's a bit lucky he was on the leash. It's just plain wrong though to do that, I don't care, pick the darn kid up if he's not moving. But dragging him? And she almost hit the kids head on the corner and didn't even care.
Leashes do a few things things. First of all, they keep children safer. No matter *how* good a parent you are, sooner or later there will be a time when you blink, or turn around. If that's the same time when your toddler darts away from you into the street, what then? Second, leashes keep kids from getting nursemaid's elbow - and they allow the kid a heck of a lot MORE freedom than being strapped in a stroller (talk about no autonomy there!) or having to hold mom's hand the whole time. (And for the record, my nieces *wish* they had a leash. They're constantly tying each other up and declaring that they are dogs!)
how big is your hand vs a toddler's? Your hand gets the tiniest bit sweaty and out the hand pops! I've had that happen to me a few times and had to grab my daughter when she tried to dash away. No, I don't use a leash, I didn't need to with her after a few reprimands and firmly teaching her to hold Mommy and Daddy's hand when going into a parking lot. I'm lucky I have a fairly obedient toddler. Some people aren't so lucky and the children simply won't hold a parent's hand, no matter how smart or disciplined.
I agree some parents may just be lazy, but don't knock all of them if you don't know the situation.
I always thought it was so cruel for a mother to use a harness until my 4th child who has autism. I can't count how many times he'd almost been hurt or seriously injured before I broke down and bought a leash. It wasn't a full harness just a velcro strap around his wrist with a stretchy band & velcro strap around my wrist. It gave him plenty of room for independence but kept him close & safe. When he was little something would catch his eye & off he'd go. He took off on me once from 5 ft. away. The friend I was talking to was a local track star. She took off after him as well & barely managed to grab him before his feet hit the street. That's what convinced me I needed to get one. What this mom is doing though is totally uncalled for? I'm glad someone reported her. That's totally humiliating & I'm sure that kid doesn't understand why either beyond how it makes him feel. This woman doesn't deserve the right to be called mother.
My family member is autistic and prone to uncontrollable behavior. He can get out of a stroller in a flash. He also likes to walk, the exercise helps him. The leash his mom uses seems to keep him calm. It works great for his family and there has never been a problem. Without it, his anxiety creeps up and he screams and has strange behavior patterns. They can't take him anywhere without it. It comforts him. I say we are casting stones. It's not the leash, it's the person holding it.
First of all, this woman clearly is annoyed that she could not go to the store unemcumbered. So stay home. That is what the rest of the world has to do if they don't feel it will work to take their child that day or to that store. I worked a second job nights during the holiday season for Kohls Department store. It was so hard for me to see parents coming in at 10pm and later with their children and then getting so mad because the kid is being whiney. You cannot call it naughty at that time of night. Second I could not believe the number of people commenting that they use leashes. I have 5 children (2 dogs with leashes) and babysit no less than 3 children at a time. We go to the store and other places and still only use the leashes on the dogs. Try some vitamins.
I will tell you now. Most people who are against leashes for kids either are not parents or are the "saint" parents who are perfectly fine letting their spawn run all over hell and half of Target. I not only used the leashes on both of my children (who are perfectly fine, even with the trauma) I advise any new parents to use them. Do not get on a high horse about how this woman treats her child until you see the rest of their life. As a parent, sometimes you just have enough and have to get out of the situation.
While I feel that putting your kid on a leash shows nothing but a lack of parenting skills…
That video is hilarious.
Harnesses can be a wise choice in certain circumstances. I'm not arguing that this woman made a wise choice. I think it's obvious that she did not but using her as an example to argue against restraints is unfair to parents who do use harnesses appropriately.
If you think harnesses are unhealthy and inappropriate, you might think differently if your child is prone to impulsively jumping out into traffic, bolting away in crowds, slamming their head against the counter at the store, jumping out of a high chair in a restaurant, or any other possible life-threatening or self-injurious behaviors rooted in neurological or developmental abnormalities, no matter how many times you have communicated your expectations and warned him. Only parents with normal children think merely talking is adequate at a very young age.
What is a parent to do when they have more than one child and one of them is "difficult"? Take the risk so they won't look like "one of those parents who puts their kid on a leash"? In my opinion, safety comes first and if a leash is the safest thing in a given context, then who is anyone else to criticize it?
It's unfortunate that there are comments here criticizing parents if they do use harnesses for safety purposes, as though they aren't really "parenting" if they do. It's really easy to say that when you have a kid that just sits there and plays with their toys.
To Mr Berk, when you write an article like this, you should keep those kids in mind, too. Your comment that a tether would merely keep a kid from being "rambunctious" is telling. For some, it's about preserving life and limb, not just managing unruly behavior.
By the way, the thought that you've worked with young kids for 20 years and have published a guide to parenting and don't seem to have any regard for the reality of disabilities is kind of disturbing, in my opinion.
The lady should have picked up her kid and walked him to the counter in the other room. That's pretty clear.
In my opinion, the parents with perfect children usually are the parents who beat their children and are in fact the ones who deserve to be arrested for child cruelty.
I also think people who are against leashes and are pro strollers for toddlers are also pro childhood obesity—think about it
and in my opinion, this mom did exackly what she felt oppropriate at the time and for that I say—Yeah mom, way to go,
way to be the parent!
Tough kids call for tough parents, and if you don't have the ovaries it takes to be a good mom than shut up, back off, and let the mom do what she feels is best for her child, the child is not being hurt, is not being strangled, and is sure as hell not being beat (my favorite is when the parents give into the child in the store to only take them home and beat them for something they have already forgotten about, what good is that)
You know it is sad, but I really think people love their dogs more than they love their children—look at what they demand of the dogs and then look at what they demand of the children? Because honestly, isn't what is best for our children to raise them to be the best they can be? instead we let them slack off and how loving is that?
There is a purpose for a leash and that is not one of them. That is inhumane what she is doing. If the child was uncooperative, a stroller would have been better or hold and carry him. She looks capable of that. There really should be a manual sent out when they give birth to children. Bullying is not a good way to teach them. I am horrified that anyone would do that.
Wow….. that is all I can think of! I mean I have seen people use those leashes that are made for kids it attaches to the childs hand and then to the parents. This lady is crazy I sure do hope they give her a lot of time for this….. come on now this was not the first time she did this it was just the first time she got caught!!!!
He's gliding along a smooth surface. Looks like something my kid would think was fun. This woman was arrested for giving her kid a slide. People need to lighten up.
Would never use a leash for a human being…my friend's mother used a helium ballon tied to the belt loop of her autistic child to be able to find her if she got too far afield…
ok this is totally wrong and i'm glad that woman is being charged for cruelty. but i'm not against child leashes. not in the least. i wasn't a devious evil child but i had a habit of roaming off to small dark places or spots where there weren't other people and i can absolutely say i would be dead if it wasn't for my leash.

- "That said, I'm reluctant to take my 339 priest into any more heroics. Maybe I'm too spoiled by what gearing up was like during Wrath, but blowing through my mana every pull because the DPS are being idiots, CC has become a foreign language, and the Tank seems a lot squishier than they're supposed to be isn't my idea of a good time."
I'm in the same boat on my new Prot Pally. The old Cata heroics are still pretty brutal on a squishy, undergeared tank and most groups just don't have the patience anymore for someone that's still sporting 333's and quest greens. As it is, I'm trying to deck her out in enough BoE drops and crafted items to skim past the 353 ilvl requirement to enter the much easier HoT heroics.
It'd be a much different story if she was Ret, but I can't stand the current iteration of the spec.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a man is dead after a hit & run accident in Catalina, outside of Tucson.
Pima County Sheriff's officials identify the victim as 22-year-old Jacob Lee Wyckoff.
Deputies responded to a report of a man down on a Catalina street about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday and found Wyckoff lying on the dirt shoulder against a fence.
Investigators say evidence shows Wyckoff had apparently been struck by a vehicle.
Authorities later located the vehicle believed involved in the accident and arrested 24-year-old Andrew R. Perez.
They say Perez has been booked into the county's Adult Detention Center on suspicion of leaving the scene of a fatal accident.
Investigators say the ingestion of prescription medication may have been a factor in the accident.
Authorities didn't immediately know Tuesday if Perez had an attorney.

Uncle Mike's Reflex IRT Holster Right Hand Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Polymer Black
Product #: 785284 Uncle Mike's #: 74101 UPC #: 043699741014
Product Information
The Uncle Mike's Reflex IRT Holster is a well-built holster that offers real world performance. The two-piece polymer holster is very lightweight and durable. The Reflex utilizes Uncle Mike's patented retention system that holds the gun in place by the trigger guard, with a small catch down inside the holster. The patented retention system is based off of a "gross motor skills concept" with no buttons or levers to think about. To draw your weapon from the holster, simply grab the weapon in the firing grip and twist briefly toward your body and the weapon is released. This slight twisting motion is an automatic motion that occurs when you securely grip the firearm, and is natural and extremely easy to use. If someone attempts to grab the weapon from behind you or beside you, the firearm will remain firmly in place. When returning the gun to the holster it will automatically lock in place. You will hear and audible "click" letting you know the retention system is fully engaged.

Work with team project artifacts, choose a process template
Anytime you create a team project, you must choose its process template. The process template defines the set of work item types (WITs), queries, and reports that you'll use to plan and track your project. Choose the template that offers the tools your team needs and reduces overhead so that your team can focus on quality.
To create a team project, go here.
To access the latest versions of Team Foundation Server (TFS) process templates, install Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013 (TFS). Then download them using the Process Template Manager.
The main distinctions between the three default process templates are in the work item types they provide for planning and tracking work. Visual Studio Scrum is the most light-weight and MSF for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) provides the most support for formal processes and change management.
Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2013
Choose Visual Studio Scrum if your team manages bugs along with product backlog items during sprint planning.
The Scrum template is designed to support the Scrum methodology as defined by the Scrum organization. This process template tracks Bugs at the same level as Product Backlog items and tracks estimates using an Effort field.
The system automatically zeroes out the Remaining Work field when the task State is set to Done.
MSF for Agile Software Development 2013
Choose Agile if your organization triages bugs separately from the product backlog and resolves work items before closing them. Also, choose Agile if your team allocates time for bugs with each sprint.
The Agile template is designed to support Agile development for teams that don't want to be restricted by Scrum. It supports estimating User Stories by using Story Points. Tasks contain fields to track Original Estimate, Remaining, and Completed work fields. Bugs aren't tracked on any backlog page. For more information about Agile methodologies, see http://www.agilealliance.org/.
MSF for CMMI Process Improvement 2013
Choose CMMI if your organization triages bugs separately from the product backlog, resolves work items before closing them, and tracks changes to requirements formally.
The CMMI template is designed to support formal change management processes. This template supports estimating Requirements by using a Size field. Tasks contain fields to track Original Estimate, Remaining, and Completed work fields. Bugs aren't tracked on any backlog page.
Go here to learn more about CMMI processes.
The default templates are designed to meet the needs of most teams. All of them support using the Agile planning tools to create the product backlog and work in sprints with the task board. If your team has unusual needs, you can customize a template and then create the team project, or you can create a team project from a template and then customize the project.
The following table summarizes the main distinctions between the work item types and states used by the three default process templates.
Process area
Visual Studio Scrum
Workflow states
Product planning (see note 1)
Portfolio backlog (2)
Task and iteration planning (3)
Bug backlog management (4)
Project management (4)
You can define these WITs using the Product backlog. The product backlog page shows a single view of the current backlog of work that can be dynamically re-ordered and grouped. Product Owners can quickly prioritize work and outline dependencies and relationships.
You can create Features and link them to backlog items to manage the portfolio backlog. With portfolio backlogs you can define a hierarchy of backlogs to understand the scope of work across several teams and see how that work rolls up into broader initiatives.
You can define tasks using the Sprint backlog and task board. The sprint backlog page reflects—in real time—the data you input. Data includes work items assigned to the iteration path, remaining work, individual work capacity, and work interruptions both for the team and individuals. Teams can get instant feedback on the rate of burndown and where they are over capacity.
Workbooks are only available when the team project is configured with a SharePoint project portal. However, you can create your own workbook by opening a corresponding query in Excel.
The following WITs are the same across all process templates. Teams create and work with these types using the corresponding tool:
Code Review Request and Code Review Response: My Work (from Team Explorer) and Code Review Request.
Feedback Request and Feedback Response: Request feedback.
Test Plan, Test Suite, Test Case Shared Steps, and Shared Parameters: Microsoft Test Manger.
Shared Parameters became available when you upgraded your on-premises deployment to TFS 2013.2.
Test Plan and Test Suite WITs become available when you upgrade your on-premises deployment to TFS 2013.3.
Work items from these type definitions are not meant to be created manually and therefore are added to the Hidden Types category. Work item types that are added to the Hidden Types category don't appear in the menus used to create new work items.
If you upgraded your team project from TFS 2012 or an earlier version to the current version of TFS, you might have to add WITs that didn't exist in the earlier versions. For more information, see Configure features after a TFS upgrade.
WITs that support the test experience and work with Test Manager and Team Web Access are linked together using the link types shown in the following picture.
Using Team Web Access or Test Manager, you can view which test cases are defined for a test suite, and which test suites are defined for a test plan. However, these objects aren't connected to each other through link types.
As noted above, the test plan and test suite WITs appear after you have upgraded your application-tier server to TFS 2013.3. You can customize these WITs as you would any other WIT. See Customize work tracking objects to support your team's processes.
If you change the workflow for the test plan and test suite, you might need to update the process configuration as described here.
For definitions of each test field, see Build and test integration field reference.
To learn about changes made to Test Manager and Team Web Access with the upgrade to TFS 2013.3, see Opening test plan and test suite work item types.
To track work effectively, team members need to agree on how they will use the work item types and tools. Here are a few questions for your team to answer.
Team choices
How does your team track work?
If your team primarily tracks progress by updating the status of backlog items, they can use the Kanban board. Your team can also customize the Kanban board to track progress across several swim lanes.
If you team breaks down backlog items into tasks for each sprint and estimates remaining work, they can use the sprint task board. Although remaining work is typically estimated in hours, you can use whatever time unit you want as long as you agree about the unit. By estimating and updating remaining work, your team can track progress through the burndown chart provided with each sprint.
Does your team track capacity per individual or by activity?
If your team tracks remaining work through tasks, they can assess the capacity for a sprint for individual team members or for different team activities such as development, test, and design.
How does your team group work?
You can group work in a number of ways. Items you create from the backlog page are automatically assigned to your team's area path. Items assigned to a sprint are assigned to the sprint's iteration path. Also, you can assign tags to work items to filter a backlog or a query result list.
Does your team use velocity and forecasting?
To support forecasting, your team can use the Effort (Scrum), Story Points (Agile), or Size (CMMI) fields to determine how many items can be completed for a sprint. Also, the velocity chart will show team progress sprint over sprint.
How does your team share information?
Team members can attach files to work items, check in files into source code, or share work using the team project portal. When a project portal is configured, your team has access to all the features a SharePoint site has to offer, including document libraries, wiki pages, blog, and event calendar.
Does your team support rollup of progress across several teams?
Portfolio backlogs let you quickly view a rollup of work in progress across several teams. If a team member works on more than one team, he can allocate his capacity accordingly for each team.
A: To use new features that were added when you install the latest version of TFS, see Configure features after a TFS upgrade.
A: The latest versions of the default process templates are automatically uploaded when you install or update to the latest version of TFS. Use the Upload, download, and delete process templates for a team project collection to download them.
Also, you can download Team Foundation Server 2013 Process Template Samples - Support for Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). These templates contain the customizations described in this white paper: Scaled Agile Framework: Using TFS to support epics, release trains, and multiple backlogs.
A: Yes. You can use the Process Editor provided with Team Foundation Server Power Tools.
A: The New Team Project wizard runs tasks that are defined by plug-ins. The next illustration shows plug-ins and the tasks they define. Tasks set permissions, create folders, upload files, activate sites, or set other configurable variables.
A: Yes. The default templates are designed to meet the needs of most teams. If your team has unusual needs, you can customize a template and then create the team project, or you can create a team project from a template and then customize the project.
A: You can define additional portfolio backlogs for a total of five portfolio backlogs.
A: The Storyboards tab in the PBI form allows you to link to storyboards that you've uploaded to a shared network location. You can link to any URL that your team can access. Also, you can link to storyboards that you created using PowerPoint Storyboarding.
A: You can post a question or search for answers in the Team Foundation Server – Team Project and Work Item forum.

Victoria F. Gaitán's Human Meat Puppets, Art Basel MiamiErotica // Monday, December 09, 2013
Victoria F. Gaitán uses human meat puppets in flesh and blood still lifes. We came across her work out at Art Basel Miami this past weekend, with Mayer Fine Art. The images are calling-cards from explorations of internal worlds, illness, in-between states, shared delusions and hells, stillness, memory, interpretations of pain, private and public intimacies, trauma, beauty, conditioned responses and gender and race in relation to objectification and ornamentation.
