4 tips to get your child to do their chores
There's nothing more aggravating than hearing a child say "no!" when you ask them to pick up their toys after a play date. Sometimes it's hard to hide the fact that you're fuming at the embarrassment of your child talking back, especially in front of your friends.
Teaching your children how to complete chores, or perform tasks that you demand can be extremely stressful depending on the personality of your child.
There are several ways to tame the Chore Chart and help your child want to be on your clean-up team!
I always hear parents say, "If he had been my first child, he would have been my only one." I was one of the lucky ones who started out with a strong-willed child.
From the age of two, my son asserted his independence daily by demonstrating that he wanted to be in charge. It has been a roller coaster at times trying to teach him that there can't be several chiefs in the family. These next few tips are pieces of advice that I use as tools to help tame chore time in our house.
1. Start early. There are many things I regret not starting earlier: making my son eat more vegetables, not allowing him to sleep in our bed, and the list goes on. However, we tried to help our son see early on that our family was a team, and that each team member has responsibilities.
Chores are simply teaching your child to be responsible for themselves and their belongings. However, they must also be developmentally appropriate. If you're going to start very young, this may be as simple as picking up toys after a play date. Because most children have a short attention span, this may mean that mom and dad pick up two toys for every one toy picked up by the child.
As the child grow older, these responsibilities can grow with them. Once our son was old enough to take a bath independently, we taught him to put his dirty clothes in the laundry basket. Once he was tall enough to reach the drawers, he began helping set the table. We also have three dogs, so he learned fairly early how to feed them and let them in and out of the house. Again, teaching them to be responsible at an early age will help them build confidence and self-esteem as they get older.
2. Consistent, consistent, consistent. Whether I'm teaching in my classroom or at home, my grandmother's words will live with me as long as I live (She has certainly said them enough). Children thrive with routine and consistency. They need to know your expectations, and try to remember that they can't read your mind. You might be thinking you want your child to put a knife, fork, and spoon at the table when you tell them "Please set the table." However, most children don't use a knife, so you may need to train them on your expectations for place settings.
Try to keep the expectations the same each week for their responsibilities, and don't change the expectations without explaining that to them first. My students come in my room each day and expect the lesson to go "as usual." However, there are times where time constraints, technology, or illness can make that almost impossible. They really struggle when I don't stick to the normal routine (I've even had very confused looks with this before!). If this is a child who is only with me for 30 minutes a day (I'm a remedial teacher), I can only imagine how much our children struggle at home when we change the expectations on them without telling them first. Remember, it helps to be consistent!
3. Financial Advantage. We are really training our children for the workforce when we teach them how to complete chores. Most people don't like to work for free, unless their position is a calling such as ministry, missionary work, etc. Working is also how we provide things like clothes, food and transportation for our families. An allowance should always be tied to chores because it's our child's form of a paycheck. Children learn that with hard work and responsibility comes a reward.
Our son uses his chore allowance for the extra things he would like when we're out shopping. His new fascination with a particular eraser that comes with little game cards run about $3.99 at a local department store. There have been a few weeks where he's had to make tough decisions about whether to buy the pack, or save his money for a LEGO set that he wants. I feel that a chore allowance will help us teach our son how to manage his finances as he grows older.
4. The Chore Chart. Many families opt for an actual chore chart to keep track of their child's responsibilities. The number of chores should be realistic for your child's age and developmental growth. Some children can handle 3-4 chores a day at six years old. However, not all children are that mature. You will have to set reasonable goals for how many chores your child can complete on a daily basis. As far as the actual chart, I have seen everything from elaborate, wooden charts, to a free printable chart from the internet. It's not really about the chart, it's about being consistent with your expectations and making sure your child sees your family as a team, and that it's their team.

algebra over an algebraic theory
symmetric monoidal (∞,1)-category of spectra
model structure on simplicial T-algebras / homotopy T-algebra
A Frobenius algebra in a monoidal category is a quintuple such that
In terms of string diagrams, this definition says:
The first line here shows the associative law and left/right unit laws for a monoid. The second line shows the coassociative law and left/right counit laws for a comonoid. The third line shows the Frobenius laws.
Frobenius algebras were originally formulated in the category Vect of vector spaces with the following equivalent definition:
A Frobenius algebra is a unital, associative algebra equipped with a linear form such that is a non-degenerate pairing. I.e. the induced map
is an isomorphism of with its dual space . In such a case, is called a Frobenius form.
From this definition it is easy to see that every Frobenius algebra in Vect is necessarily finite-dimensional.
There are about a dozen equivalent definitions of a Frobenius algebra. Ross Street (2004) lists most of them.
We can define 'commutative' Frobenius algebras in any symmetric monoidal category. Namely, a Frobenius algebra is commutative if its associated monoid is commutative — or equivalently, if its associated comonoid is cocommutative.
We can define 'commutative' or 'symmetric' Frobenius algebras in any symmetric monoidal category. A Frobenius algebra is symmetric if
where is the symmetry. Any commutative Frobenius algebra is symmetric, but not conversely: for example the algebra of matrices with entries in a field, with its usual trace as , is symmetric but not commutative when .
A theorem of Eilenberg and Nakayama says that in the category of vector spaces over a field , an algebra can be equipped with the structure of a symmetric Frobenius algebra if (but not only if) it is separable, meaning that for any field extending , is a semisimple algebra over .
If , a Frobenius algebra is said to be special. In the category of vector spaces, any element of an associative unital algebra gives a left multiplication map
which in turn gives a bilinear pairing defined by
One can show that the algebra can be equipped with the structure of a special Frobenius algebra if and only if is nondegenerate, i.e., if there is an isomorphism given by
In this case, there is just one way to make into a special Frobenius algebra, namely by taking the counit to be
(In any Frobenius algebra, the unit, multiplication and counit determine the comultiplication.)
In fact, all the results of the previous paragraph generalize to Frobenius algebras in any symmetric monoidal category, since the proofs can be done using string diagrams.
An associative unital algebra for which the bilinear pairing is nondegenerate is called strongly separable. So, any strongly separable algebra becomes a special Frobenius algebra in a unique way. For more details, see separable algebra and Aguiar (2000).
To get a feeling for some of the concepts we are discussing, an example is helpful. The group algebra of a finite group is always separable but strongly separable if and only if the order of is invertible in the field . By the results mentioned, this means that can always be made into a symmetric Frobenius algebra, but only into a special Frobenius algebra when is invertible in .
To see this, we can check that the group algebra becomes a symmetric Frobenius algebra if we define the counit to pick out the coefficient of :
But when is invertible in , we can check that becomes a special symmetric Frobenius algebra if we normalize the counit as follows:
We should warn the reader that Rosebrugh et al (2005) call a special Frobenius algebra 'separable'. This usage conflicts with the standard definition of a separable algebra in the category of vector spaces over a field, so we suggest avoiding it.
If a Frobenius algebra lives in a monoidal †-category, and , then it is said to be a †-Frobenius algebra. These crop up in the theory of 2d TQFTs, and also in the foundations of quantum theory.
A Frobenius algebra in a monoidal category is an object dual to itself.
Let be the monoidal unit. To say is dual to itself means there are maps and such that the usual triangular equations hold. The maps are defined by
and one of the triangular equations uses one of the Frobenius laws and unit and counit axioms to derive the following commutative diagram:
The other triangular equation uses the other Frobenius law and unit and counit axioms.
As a result, we see that in the monoidal category of modules over a commutative ring , Frobenius algebras considered as modules over are finitely generated and projective. This is because , being adjoint to itself, is a left adjoint and therefore preserves all colimits. That preserves arbitrary small coproducts means is finitely generated over , and that preserves coequalizers means is projective over .
Every Frobenius algebra is a quasi-Frobenius algebra?: projective and injective left (right) modules over coincide.
Every Frobenius algebra is a pseudo-Frobenius algebra?: is an injective cogenerator in the category of left (right) -modules.
Certain kinds of Frobenius algebras have nice PROPs or PROs. The PRO for Frobenius algebras is the monoidal category of planar thick tangles, as noted by Aaron Lauda Lauda (2006) and illustrated here:
Lauda and Pfeiffer Lauda (2008) showed that the PROP for symmetric Frobenius algebras is the category of 'topological open strings', since it obeys this extra axiom:
The PROP for commutative Frobenius algebras is 2Cob?, as noted by many people and formally proved by Lowell Abrams Abrams (1996). This means that any commutative Frobenius algebra gives a 2d TQFT. See Kock (2006) for a history of this subject and Kock (2004) for a detailed introduction. In 2Cob, the circle is a Frobenius algebra. The monoid laws look like this:
The comonoid laws look like this:
The Frobenius laws look like this:
and the commutative law looks like this:
The PROP for special commutative Frobenius algebras is Span(FinSet), as proved by Rosebrugh, Sabadini and Walters. This is worth comparing to the PROP for commutative bialgebras, which is Cospan(FinSet). For details, see Rosebrugh et al (2005), and also Lack (2004).
A special commutative Frobenius algebra gives a 2d TQFT that is insensitive to the genus of a 2-manifold, since in terms of pictures, the 'specialness' axioms says that
Frobenius algebras were introduced by Brauer and Nesbitt and were named after Ferdinand Frobenius.
See for instance
Their role in 2-dimensional TQFT is discussed for instance in

FRIDAY, Sept. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Parents who drink -- even
moderately -- may increase the risk that their children will drive
under the influence as adults, a new study has found.
Researchers from the University of Florida found that about 6
percent of teens whose parents drank even occasionally said they
drove under the influence when they reached 21 years of age.
Meanwhile, only 2 percent of those whose parents did not drink
drove under the influence at 21, according to the report published
online and in the November print issue of
Accident Analysis & Prevention.
"The main idea is that parents' alcohol use has an effect on their kids' behavior," study lead author, Mildred Maldonado-Molina, an associate professor of health outcomes and policy with the University of Florida College of Medicine, said in a university news release. "It's important for parents to know that their behavior has an effect not only at that developmental age when their kids are adolescents, but also on their future behavior as young adults."
In conducting the study, the researchers collected information
from nearly 10,000 teens and their parents, and followed up with a
second survey seven years later.
Although parents have more influence on their children than
their kids' friends do, the study found that peer pressure could
also have an influence on the behavior of teens. Teens with friends
that drink alcohol, the researchers revealed, are more likely to
drive under the influence -- even when their parents do not drink
at home.
When both their parents and their friends drink alcohol, teens
seem to be at particularly high risk. The study revealed that about
11 percent of these teens were later found to drive under the
influence during their 20s.
Tara Kelley-Baker, a senior research scientist at the Pacific
Institute for Research and Evaluation, who was not involved with
the study, commented on the findings in the university news
release. "I think it is really important to understand the
influence of parents and peers," she said. "Parents must understand
the influence they have on their children. Some parents just assume
they have lost their influence or that they never had it. Research
has shown more and more that this is not the case."
The researchers noted that they were surprised to find that
gender did not play a role in the study's findings. The influence
of parents and friends appeared to affect men and women the same
way. "Their risk factors are similar, and that calls for attention
when developing interventions and prevention efforts," said
The study concluded that efforts to prevent drinking and driving
among young adults must start when kids are younger than 15 years
of age, and parents must also be educated about the consequences of
their behavior.
"The home is a really important source for these kids," said Maldonado-Molina. "(Parents) may not perceive their drinking as negative, but it influences what is acceptable behavior."

The Brian Shaw era with the Nuggets got off to a pretty rough start.
The Nuggets, who won a franchise-best 57 games under George Karl last season, don't resemble the same team that claimed the No. 3 seed. Shaw is trying to change the style and culture in Denver. It looked like it wasn't working and the transition was been rocky.
The team was struggling and still showed signs of growing pains with Shaw. The coach had the blowup with Andre Miller that seemed to rattle the team. Miller was suspended and eventually traded to the Washington Wizards. Denver was losing games at Pepsi Center which seemed unheard of last season when the Nuggets only dropped three games all season.
But things seem to be changing with the Nuggets. The players took awhile to come around but now they are buying into Shaw and his ideas. The Nuggets have netted big wins over the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers lately. Earlier in the season that sounded like crazy talk.
The player that really has turned the corner is Kenneth Faried. The forward's offense has been in question since the Nuggets drafted him in 2011 from Morehead State. He was never polished on the offensive end as he was much more of a hustle guy.
While Faried has not turned into Tim Duncan in the post, he has improved a lot. During the month of March Faried is averaging 21.5 points a game and 10.4 rebounds. Those numbers are a much higher than his season averages of 12 and eight.
Faried was the subject of trade rumors throughout the season and he could still be moved after the season as now his stock is higher than it ever has been. His game changed after the deadline and the Nuggets have been playing better.
The Nuggets won't make the playoffs this season in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. But right now that is not the plan of attack. Karl got this team to the playoffs every season but only advanced out of the first round once. The Nuggets brass didn't find that acceptable anymore.
The play this season is not about the present. The Nuggets are looking towards the future as a lot of key players are sitting on the bench in suits. Next season Shaw hopes to have Danilo Gallinari and JaVale McGee back on the floor. Both players are considered by Shaw and the front office as key players for the future.
This season is frustrating for a lot of fans. The crowds at Pepsi Center are used to playoff games but this year it won't happen. A high draft pick may also be out of the question as the Knicks are playing better. Early in the season New York, whose pick is owned by the Nuggets, were one of the worst teams in the league but they have turned it around lately.
It is all about patience at the moment in Denver but Shaw's Nuggets seem to be turning the corner.

Houston Texans rookie WR DeAndre Hopkins accidentally posted a video of himself masturbating.
Thankfully, the video has been deleted off of his Instagram but there are still remnants of it remaining throughout the internet.
Here is a quick twitter recap of what happened.
To recap: instagram video posted. instagram video deleted. now the hacked explanation. see @Nukdabomb
— AdamWexlerCSN (@awexler) November 13, 2013
Here is his girlfriend picking up his phone and posting for him:
Instagram was hacked , this is his girlfriend he's in meetings with no phone , have some respect ppl
— Deandre Hopkins (@Nukdabomb) November 13, 2013
Someone on twitter ran across the video and decided to take a screen shot of the whole thing. Don't ask me why.
This is the equivalent of sending a video of yourself masturbating to the entire world. I was trying to think of something to compare it to, but there really is nothing that you could compare that to.

The Making of "American Neo Classic"
Mark Wagner is an American collage artist who creates art with chopped up dollar bills. His work is collected by dozens of institutions including the Museum of Modern Art, The Walker Art Center, the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Institution.
His artist statement:
"The one dollar bill is the most ubiquitous piece of paper in America. Collage asks the question: what might be done to make it something else? It is a ripe material: intaglio printed on sturdy linen stock, covered in decorative filigree, and steeped in symbolism and concept. Blade and glue transform it-reproducing the effects of tapestries, paints, engravings, mosaics, and computers—striving for something bizarre, beautiful, or unbelievable… the foreign in the familiar."

Lebanon Schools Challenge Oregon State Board on Mascots
The Lebanon School Board is not letting go of the Warrior logo without a fight.The Albany Democrat-Herald reports the board voted 4-1 in favor of a resolution challenging the authority of the state Board of Education to propose a rule banning the use of American Indian mascots in public schools.
The state board is expected to vote in May on the rule requiring 15 high schools to retire their mascots by July 2017. A state Department of Education spokeswoman says the board has legal authority, and its lawyer vetted the procedure.
If approved, schools such as Lebanon High identified as the
Warriors would have to change only their mascots - not their
nicknames. Other schools, such as those called the Indians, would change both.

Wooden Menagerie: Made in New Mexico
In the Hispanic Heritage Wing
April 6, 2014 to February 15, 2015
This exhibition celebrates the rich Hispano folk tradition of animal wood carving in New Mexico and the continued influence on the national and international scene. The exhibition highlights the historic roots of New Mexican woodcarvers, offering early twentieth century examples of whimsical animals including works by Jose Dolores Lopez and Celso Gallegos.
During the Work Progress Administration (WPA) period of the 1930's, the traditional arts of the region gained resurgence through federal programmed that trained and employed New Mexican folk artists, In 1936, Patrocino Barela's expressionistic woodcarvings created under the auspices of the Federal Arts Project were a part of New Horizons in American Art at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The wood carving tradition continued into the 1960's primarily for the tourist trade with classic carvings of burros and oxen drawn carts. During this time artists started experimenting with recycled materials and common household paint.
The decade of the 1970's was a dramatic period that fostered the powerful animistic forms of Felipe Archuleta and his workshop of carvers. By the 1980's Archuleta's animal sculptures were highly sought after by collectors and curators. His menagerie of domestic and exotic animals made their way to museum exhibits in New York, Paris and Tokyo. Link to full Press Release

Christmas with the Kranks [2004]
Slapstick humor gets a full-body workout in Christmas with the Kranks. Critics were unanimous in their derision, and John Grisham must have gnashed his teeth over what studio-boss-turned-director Joe Roth did to his bestselling novel Skipping Christmas, to which this broad-stroked comedy bears little or no resemblance. The title characters are played by Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis, who decide to skip Christmas because their daughter's in Peru with the Peace Corps. Thus begins a rabid program of enforced conformity when their neighbors (led by Dan Aykroyd) coerce the Kranks into changing their holiday attitude--a change that comes easily when the daughter announces she'll be home for Christmas after all. Imagine if a suburban lynch mob said "Have a Merry Christmas or we'll kill you," and you'll get some idea of what spending Christmas with the Kranks is really like. And if you laughed at the frozen cat, you're probably on Santa's "naughty" list. --Jeff Shannon

Mo Williams, who has been absent from the Trail Blazers team to attend to his ailing sister, has provided a minor update on the situation. Of course, we don't need to intimately know his family business, but the cryptic tweet is appreciated by all of his fans who are worried about him and his family. Williams indicated that things are getting better, and his sister is likely to pull through this whole ordeal.
Thanks to all my teammates, coaches n followers for all your prayers. The man above is truly one incredible dude. #everythingondupnup
— Mo Williams (@mowilliams) February 10, 2014
Word has not yet surfaced regarding when he will rejoin the Trail Blazers, but it stands to reason that it will now be sooner rather than later. Williams was granted indefinite leave by the Trail Blazers on February 7th. He missed the second half of their road trip, including their overtime loss to the Indiana Pacers and their close win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Portland Trail Blazers play the Oklahoma City Thunder this Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. PST on NBATV. It seems that Mo Williams' sister has weathered the storm, so his availability for the contest has shifted from unlikely to up in the air. Of course, we are working with very little information at this juncture. More than anything, we are glad that the situation seems to be improving, whether he is able to return to action or not.

2009 Wedding Venues
My fiancee and I are planning a December 2009 wedding in the tristate area. We are looking at Monteverde, the Wainwright House, and the New Leaf Cafe. Has anyone been to nay events at these places? Any other suggestions would be much appreciated!
re: foodgal123
I would prefer to bring in a caterer, but would definitely consider one on site if the food is good. I definitely do not want a wedding factory! Thanks for you help, foodgal!
Monteverde is beautiful as is New Leaf Cafe. If you haven't already, you want to have an idea of how many people you will be inviting as numbers dictate.
We are using Feast caterers and went to a tasting at their home base at Round Hill. Delicious and very accommodating. Good luck!
re: ral217
Ral217, I went to a wedding there last summer - it was beautiful! Congratulations!
re: Feaster18
Feaster! So glad to hear! Thanks :)
Inncredible Caterers has several places in the Hudson Valley. They have the Inn at Bear Mountain, and the Overlook Lodge, The Chalet on the Hudson, Clubhouse at Patriot Hills, and the Inn at Central Valley. I've never been to any events at these place, but have heard the food is good.
Wainwright House is beautiful and the view is wonderful. Also take a look at this website for other venues:
I have not used them but ran across this recently.
We are having our wedding this Saturday, June 27, 2009 at the Chalet on the Hudson. They are wonderful there and they have been so helpful. The food is great and the prices are very reasonable. Plus the views are gorgeous! Their restaurant is open during the whole year and they have a lovely Sunday brunch. Definitely should look into this place.
re: RenFairGirl
RenFairGirl - Congrats! Do you have any additional info on Chalet on the Hudson? There are no good photos on their website.
re: katzone3
Yes. The phone number is (845) 265-2600 and ask for Melissa. She's great!!!
The Chalet on the Hudson is on Route 9D in Cold Spring....about 20 minutes from Main Street in Cold Spring.... the actual address is:
3250 Route 9D, PO Box 357, Cold Spring, NY 10516
Their prices are actually quite reasonable...and I think they are Hudson Valley's best kept secret.... plus you can't beat the gorgeous view. It's a restaurant all year around as well... go and try out their dinner menu as well as the Sunday brunch...We love it!
As for photos...I think I had to google chalet on the hudson for photos. See also Inn at Central Valley...they are related.
re: katzone3
Didn't find pics for the Chalet on the Hudson, found pics for the Inn at Central Valley...if you have facebook or an email, email me at
the pics for the Inn at Central Valley is http://www.inncrediblecaterers.com/IC...
The locations are similiar. Depends on how much you want to spend. I found the Chalet on the Hudson's prices most reasonable for what you get. The second choice was the Dutchess Manor, further down on Route 9D, also overlooking the Hudson River. Pretty much personal preference - I felt the Chalet was more my style.
If you want, I can send you a couple of pics of what we had for the Chalet...just email me at email@example.com. Hope this helps. We planned this wedding in 6 months!!!
I am looking for a venue to hold ceremony / reception for a 60 pp wedding in Hudson Valley/Westchester area in spring 2010. Def looking for good food and nice surrounding (not into banquet halls). Any help would be highly appreciated as beginning to scramble a bit. Lots of places have high # ppl, or are over 2 hr drive from NYC where most guests will be coming from. Thanks for your help! :)
re: katzone3
alternatively, party like a rock star or dine like a Rockefeller...er Bill Gates
I was trying to remember the name of a yacht company out of Cos Cob Greenwich, where I attended a great party, but seems there's a much wider selection than expected;
re: katzone3
Just for your info...we only had to guarantee 50 people to show up at the Chalet...it fits 50-180 comfortably.....some of my friends came from NYC and said the drive was not too bad (about 1.5 hours where they came from) and was an easy drive. There are local hotels nearby that guests can stay at if they like with reasonable rates... We live about 20 minutes from the reception and church....
If anyone has any suggestions for venues in Westchester for about 225 guests (need space for a ceremony and reception) with great food, those suggestions would also be welcome!!!!
Sorry to hijack your post, Feaster -- FYI, I LOVED Wainwright - it's legitimately AMAZING, but I'd be a tiny bit concerned about that Corner Stone Caterers (their takeout shop is not great) and I decided against it in the end because of the 11pm curfew. If you can live with the curfew, the setting can't be beat!!
re: samanthajill
I had given suggestions over on another Tristate board, CHer looking for Mahopac area rehearsal dinner choice; here's some favorite spots though; best special event/romantic spots;
The Arch, Route 22 North, Brewster; (845) 279-5011 "05/2009 Seriously good: Haute cuisine--tres haute--on route 22. Serious food at serious prices. This would rate as a fine restaurant in the City. Here, it's off the charts. Unless you're loaded, this is a special occasion restaurant that is always more than up to the occasion."
Peter Pratt's Inn, 673 Croton Heights Road, off Route 118, Yorktown Heights
'country inn with exceptional food...downstairs cozy pub'
Filia's (formerly Capriccio's) 1250 Rte. 22N Brewster, NY; beautiful stone patio, romantic lakeside woods setting
2009 Best place for a party, Westchester Magazine
Travelers Rest, Ossining NY; Continental restaurant with a charming space surrounded by waterfalls and gardens.
Equus, This fairy-tale castle is actually real, a former Gatsby-era estate perched high on a secluded Tarrytown hilltop
Le Chateau This magnificent South Salem Tudor pile owes its fantasy to history—like Castle on the Hudson, it once was one of Westchester's noble estates.
Bird & Bottle Inn 1123 Old Albany Post Rd. Garrison, NY
there are so many mansions/castles/estates for special events; other handy resource: http://tourism.westchestergov.com/ind...
re: foodlvrzen
We were just at Yaddo and there was a wedding in the Yaddo Gardens. The rose garden is beautiful.
We later saw the bride and groom in Saratoga Springs taking photos on the carousel.
re: samanthajill
I am actually looking for something very similar - 200 people, on the water, without an early curfew. Please let me know if you find anything... I am looking at Monteverde and Wainwright tomorrow....


text: Guilford Green! "We chose Guilford Green as our 2015 Colour of the Year because it can be the hero or the highlight in any room, enhancing the architectural identity of a space," said Ellen O'Neill, Creative Director at Benjamin Moore. "Guilford Green is the perfect thread to connect nature, spaces and interiors with colour schemes that signify fresh energy and growth." We think the light and airy hue will work well in traditional and modern spaces and will pair with a host of complementary shades such as white, grey, navy and light purple. Visit benjaminmoore.com

Bodyboarding News
- 02 September 2014 | Bodyboarding
Joana Schenker has conquered the Miss Sumol Cup 2014, in a tight final against defending champion Catarina Sousa, Fatima Zahara, and Marta Leitão, at Ilhavo, Portugal.
The bodyboarder from the Algarve had never won the event, which has been run nonstop since 2005. In previous editions, Schenker got two fourth places, and a third spot.
"I'm very happy because this is the best event in Europe and maybe in the world as it is specially designed for us. This victory was a goal I had. Waves were good, but the peak was always shifting. With the help of Chico from the jetty, it was easier to get it," says Joana Schenker.
The rider from Sagres opened the final with a blast. Her first couple of waves - a 6.33 and a 5.50-point ride - sealed the deal and left her opponents chasing high scores.
A total of 177 waves were ridden during the Miss Sumol Cup 2014. Catarina Sousa scored the best wave with 8.75 points from the judges in the semifinal. The Miss Congeniality award went to Ana Adão.
Miss Sumol Cup 2014 | Bodyboard Final
1. Joana Schenker (POR), 11.83
2. Catarina Sousa (POR), 10.91
3. Marta Leitão (POR), 9.67
4. Fatima Zahara (MOR), 9.36

Dave Winchester has taken out the prestigious Jeff Wilcox Memorial 2014, at Tuncurry Beach, New South Wales, Australia.
The 17th edition of the Jeff Wilcox Memorial was run in spectacular wave conditions. In two days, the cream of Australian bodyboarding gathered around pristine barrels to celebrate the memory of Jeff Wilcox.
In the opening rounds, riders were blessed with clean three-to-four foot tubes and impeccable A-frames. It was time to display everyone's barrel riding and aerial antics.
- 01 September 2014 | Bodyboarding
Uri Valadao and Alexandra Rinder have conquered the 2014 Antofagasta Bodyboard Festival, at Ola La Cupula, Chile.
This was the event of all surprises. The last day of competition at the 2014 Antofagasta Bodyboard Festival brought new names to the world bodyboarding center stage.
With Amaury Lavernhe being put out of the waves by Eder Luciano, Pierre-Louis Costes regained leadership of the APB World Tour rankings after reaching quarterfinals. But Brahim Iddouch had other plans, and the French had to settle with a fifth place.

A Brief History of Ice Cream
Click image for larger version.
From Our Partners
Tuesday 03 August
By the rest of the world
Not to attack you personally, but it's getting pretty annoying how every "article" like this (origins of something) is so biased.
Icecream was there long before America even existed, and you should respect history and portray the full story.
Not downplay the rest of the world.
This is one of the things why everyone hates America, you act like you guys are the greatest country in the world, invented everything, and so on.

i think that chart and info is really good using ice cream makes me want some thought!

The reclaimed material used in all of our antique flooring is salvaged from old structures slated for dismantling. We source each species from one of our salvage operations that is located in an area known to produce the highest quality material for that particular species. Our antique material comes in lengths up to 14' and an average length of 6-8'.
Click here to see the entire line of Antique Flooring
We start by sourcing our newly sawn material from the most reputable lumber mills located in an area known for having the optimum growing conditions to produce the most stable and highest quality material for that particular species. All of our old growth species are kiln dried before being milled on state of the art machinery to ensure the highest tolerances in the industry. We deliver our new plank flooring acclimated to Colorado's dry climate with an average moisture content below 6%, which means little or no site acclimation is necessary. Our old growth material also comes end-matched in lengths up to 14' and an average length of 6-8' depending on the species.
We grade our wide plank flooring in two grades: Natural grade which will have some worm holes, mineral streaks, open knots and checks. These can be defected out or left in to keep the average length longer and the floor more rustic. Then there is Premium grade which will have small closed knots and very few if any checks and other imperfections. This is considered furniture grade material.

Celtic Nation would like to take a moment to welcome the latest member of the Boston Celtics family – Leandro Barbosa! Leandro hails from Brazil, and is married to Brazilian actress Samara Felippo. The couple have a daughter, Alicia.
It's an honor to have the Barbosas join Celtic Nation, and we're confident that this addition will help solidify our quest for Banner 18. It's also exciting to have another team-first player on a team that preaches unity. Barbosa has always been a positive locker room presence wherever he's gone, and we're glad to have him suiting up in the green-and-white.
Welcome aboard, Leandro!

Dennis Fujitake Week - #13
Dalgoda was created by Jan Strnad & Dennis Fujitake, published by Fantagraphics Books in 1984. There's so much to say about this great series, but the thing I clearly recall at the moment is how FB fought to keep this book alive, how they juggled price points, color and printing considerations, distribution issues, flimsy subscriptions and a readership not loud enough to champion this comic.
That first image is from Amazing Heroes #49, the other two pages are from Dalgoda #2 and Flesh & Bones (featuring Dalgoda) #3, respectively.

MPG display - 09 WRX
I checked the manual and followed what it said of putting the key in the ignition on "Lock" mode, then press the "+" near the clock for 5 seconds to enable the MPG display. The display flashes, but nothing happens, do all WRX's come with this, or is it only for the STI and/or the premium package?

They should all have it. I know mine does. Besure you put your odometer onto trip though because it won't read it for all the miles. Just trip A and B.
Oh, I never tried that, I had it on the odometer setting. Thanks!
EDIT: Works, thanks!

Whoa! this it the first time my 08 does something the 09 won't! The 08s display the mileage for trip A on trip A and the regular odometer. Not that this is all that cool of a find.
i am just curious to how accurate the MPG is that it displays....
It's not that accurate, seems to be around 2-3MPG off. On the high side of course, my display usually says around 26-28MPG, but I tend to get around 24-26MPG.

The Tampa Bay Lightning announced that they have re-signed center Alex Killorn to a two-year deal.
It would seem as if there is some more big news coming out of the Bolts Nation this week. After the Tampa Bay Lightning sealed the deals of center Tyler Johnson and left wing Ondrej Palat, many people were left wondering who would be the next player to have their deal re-upped for the new season.
Well, fans don't have to wait any longer to get their answer.
Tampa Bay Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced via the Lightning's official site that the organization has re-signed center Alex Killorn to a two year deal which will see him in a Lightning jersey until the end of the 2015-16 season.
According to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, the deal is worth $5.1 million to Killorn; $2.4 million in the 2014-15 season and $2.7 million in 2015-16.
Last season was the 6'2" Halifax native's first full season with the Tampa Bay Lightning. During that time, he played in all 82 games the Lightning played last season, scoring 17 goals and 24 assists for a total of 41 points. This accompanies his plus-8 rating.
This put Killorn in sixth place on the team in points, right behind the likes of left wing Ondrej Palat, who led the team with 59 points, center Valtteri Filppula with 58 points, defenseman Victor Hedman who has 55 points, center Tyler Johnson who scored 50 points, and right wing Teddy Purcell who brought home 42 points.
Killorn was also fourth on the team during the post season where he recorded an additional goal and assist.
Alex Killorn is another one of the young Lightning rookies that I have been waiting anxiously for the team to re-sign. Now that Yzerman has Johnson, Palat, and Killorn in place, things are really starting to take shape.
There are still quite a few more contracts that need to be tied up before the end of the offseason, like defensemen Andrej Sustr, Keith Aulie, Mark Barberio, and Mike Kostka just to name a few; however, it would seem as if Yzerman has the team on the right path and if the current moves are any indication, we are in for one heck of a season.
What are your thoughts on Alex Killorn's new two-year deal with the Lightning? In the light of the recent signings, how do you think the Bolts are going to fare next season? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

UN high official says Tajikistan is key to deter drug trafficking from Afghanistan
DUSHANBE, TAJIKISTAN (BNO NEWS) — Yury Fedotov, Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), on Wednesday said that Tajikistan is first line of defense to deter drug trafficking from Afghanistan.
"The flow of drugs from Afghanistan poses a serious threat to security and development throughout Central Asia," said Fedotov. "We appreciate the difficulties Tajikistan faces in carrying out this dangerous and daunting task."
It is estimated that approximately 15 percent of all Afghan opiates and 20 percent of heroin is trafficked through Tajikistan. Fedotov met on Tuesday with local officials to discuss an increased cooperation to tackle this issue.
The UNODC chief also discussed collaboration opportunities between his agency and Tajik authorities in border management, drug control, terrorism and corruption on local and regional levels.
UNODC and Tajikistan established relations during the late 1990s when the two entities joined efforts to set a national Drug Control Agency and to improve operational capacity of the Tajik Border Forces.
"Without the ability to improve border management, all other aspects which are being implemented to crack down on the drug trade – particularly when dealing with cross-border trafficking – would be futile," Fedotov added.
The current relationship focuses in supporting law enforcement, capacity building, providing policy and legislation advice to government institutions and reducing the proliferation of narcotics. UNODC also encourages the Asian country to further engage in regional counter-narcotic initiatives such as the Central Asian Regional Information and Coordination Centre (CARICC).
Since the Drug Control Agency was formed eleven years ago, Tajikistan has dealt with 900 drug-related cases and seized around 10 tons of narcotics. The agency has also provided information and leads on numerous occasions that resulted in the securing of more drugs from the international market.

33 Developers Leave OpenOffice.org
dkd903 (1156359) writes | more than 3 years ago0
dkd903 (1156359) writes "We all knew that it would come to this and it has finally happened — 33 developers have left OpenOffice.org to join The Documents Foundation, with more expected to leave in the next few days.
After Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, OpenOffice.org fell into the hands of Oracle, as did a lot of other products. So, last month a few very prominent members of the OpenOffice.org community decided to form The Documents Foundation and fork OpenOffice.org as LibreOffice, possibly fearing that it could go the OpenSolaris way."

Assisted Suicide
When reading this article one would see the sadness in the words of the author and the experiences that she had. In a personal way, it is hard not to feel sorry that she had to slowly watch her father die. I personally have looked at the desires that I have for when my end comes and how I would want to die or deal with a terminal conditions such as cancer. If I am going to die, I would rather it be under my own terms, I have learned a long time ago that losing a loved one even to cancer it is not easy to do. Assisted suicide is, while not a moral, it is often more likely to be something a person would choose not something that is thrust upon them.

Susan Wolfs article is a very moving piece of work I am hoping that I can learn more about assisted suicide as I am research this project more. Terminal illnesses are not easy to do with not just worried that families involved for the patients as well. When dealing with tragedies such as these it is easy to lose sight of the facts of the situation. People sometimes lose heart when a family member is involved, when a parent or a child is terminally ill and is often not uncommon for one to least become angry when doctors are unable to do more than we think they should. This of course does not mean that the doctors do not have feelings for you as a person or your situation they just are not able to make the choices for you. Also, keep in mind that doctors are in the business of keeping people alive and the idea of a patient not living is very difficult for them to accept.
In no way shape or form do I condone assisted suicide at all; I do believe that people should be allowed to choose their way of leaving this world. When a person is terminally ill, they often think about what is the best way to spend that illness. Some people will not want to spend the remainder of their lives, so to speak, tied to a bed with tubes in almost every please just sustaining their painful life. When a person says they no longer want to have their life prolonged artificially then it then the duty of the family to accept their choice of that. However, it is a different altogether to have a doctor or nurse medically assist in ending the life of a patient who wants to die.
Personally, if I want to die in one way or the other well I want to die my way, I makes it hard to think of these things some days because of the fact that, I have a mother who is also sick. I know that one day I will have to make choices for her health and I know those decisions will be difficult. I also know that I have to make those decisions and she is unable to make them herself. I also know that she is in pain and she may end up with even worse pain as time goes one. She has made a number of requests of me and my brother in the event of her inability to make medical choices herself. I hope I am not in that position anytime soon but I also know it will happen someday.
In conclusion, assisted suicide in a personal aspect is really something that a person no matter their faith is going to have to think about on their own. If a person wants to die, a person should be allowed to die with out people telling them that they should live. A person is the only one that can make choices for their own life and death and there should not be anyone else to tell them other wise. However, that does not mean that a doctor, nurse, or other healthcare professional. It is more important that the person is comfortable and happy with how they feel. If you feel that you want to die then you are entitled to that choice, however, it is still up to you if you want to really die or if you just want the pain to end.

Innovation and Commitment Improve the Quality of Michigan DNR Accessible Programs and Facilities
by Anne Cornett
With a rich history dating back to the 1800's, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has proven to be one of this century's most dedicated advocates of accessible recreation. With the advent of ADA regulations in 1990 and the implementation of the Access to Recreation initiative in 2006 sponsored by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Michigan DNR has embraced the challenge of providing accessible opportunities to all individuals interested in participation. From accessible hunting blinds and trails, to an innovative water transfer system the Michigan DNR truly goes above and beyond to provide the best experience possible.
|Driven by solar power, the mechanical lift system allows hunters a more advantageous perspective during participation. The pod door, which drops down and doubles as a ramp, allows easy access in and out of the unit.
Several years ago the Michigan DNR took the first step towards providing accessible services simply by adding the word "accessible" to the department's mission statement. According to Dan Lord, Michigan DNR Development Planner, "It's just one word, but it's a pretty significant change reflecting the mindset and presenting the image that accessibility is important to the department." This new mindset led to the addition of an Accessibility Advisory Council and several stakeholder groups designed to assist in providing more accessible programs, services, and facilities for a system which was initially built in an era when accessibility and barriers were not a concern. The resulting experience often goes beyond mere compliance with ADA standards, but embraces a universal design perspective allowing all individuals to participate no matter what their level of ability.
"We're trying to change the mindset that universal design doesn't just benefit people with disabilities, it ends up being applicable for everybody. Whether its moms and dads with strollers, grandmas with walkers, or someone using a wheelchair, by taking those considerations into the design process a lot of times you can address a lot of different people's needs" stated Dan.
With a strong focus on accessibility, it is no surprise that many of the Michigan DNR's most recent projects are some of the most innovative yet in the area of accessible recreation. One of the newest projects, expected to be completed in the spring of 2010, is the first ever accessible luge. Considered to be the only one of its kind in North America open to public participation, the accessible luge at Muskegon State Park could eventually provide a year round opportunity for all individuals to take lessons and participate in the Olympic sport. The fiberglass track system, developed with the assistance of the U.S. Luge Association due to the unique and technical requirements of the sport, is similar to the track system the U.S. Luge Olympic team is hoping to institute in Lake Placid in the near future.
|Located at the Michigan Rifle River Recreation Area the 6 foot by 6 foot "Hunt Master" camouflage pod has the ability to lift hunters 21 feet into the air. This completely mobile unit allows the staff to position the pod at various intervals around the facility in order to provide prime hunting sites.
In the fall of 2009, the Michigan DNR opened its new, innovative accessible hunting blind at the Rifle River Recreation Area. With a limited amount of technical guidance for accessible hunting procedures and equipment, the team set out to provide a unique experience allowing all individuals the ability to participate. The result—a solar powered, mobile unit that can lift participants 21 feet into the air. The small pod, which measures 6 foot by 6 foot and includes a drop down door that can be used as a ramp for wheel chair use, sits atop a small trailer allowing the blind to be relocated around the facility as needed. It is expected that the hunting blind will be offered on a year round basis for wildlife observation and photography as well.
Located at Dodge #4 State Park, the Michigan DNR has begun the development of a water transfer system that will improve access for a variety of individuals to Michigan's lake systems. With the ever changing water levels, the flexibility of the system was of the upmost importance during the design process. The resulting system, based on playground transfer platform standards, includes a series of oversized platforms leading down to the water level. A series of ropes and buoys then allow the participant to pull themselves out to deeper water where buoyancy can then take over.
The Michigan DNR's dedication and commitment to accessibility goes even further beyond simply providing access to programs, services, and facilities. The knowledge of the department's staff has also been of crucial importance to the initiative, requiring the creation of a series of educational workshops designed to improve the overall awareness of all employees. "Demonstration Days" were thus created on topics ranging from crossbows and hunting equipment to the use of person first language, to provide employees a hands-on opportunity to use adaptive equipment and become more informed on accessibility requirements related to programming and facilities.
Faced with challenges ranging from facility design to program implementation the Michigan DNR has proven that with innovation it is not only possible for all individuals to participate, but essential. They have become leaders in providing unique experiences for individuals at all ability levels, and provide a fresh example of how determination can result in improved opportunities for all.

StoreVision combines POS transaction details, recorded in its Scan/key log, and register-lane digital video within a seamless user interface. Customers access the highly granular data through powerful data-mining features and flexible reporting tools to quickly retrieve video images of interest. StoreVision grows with its users over time, allowing them to expand the application's domain knowledge and customize its exception criteria to maintain a high-level production of actionable reports. StoreVision scales its agile intelligence from a single store auditing to remote monitoring hundreds of stores.
StoreVision will now interoperate with the rest of the IBM's retail solution portfolio. Customers will also benefit from integration with a wide variety of partner solutions from RFID tracking to Customer Tracking. Additionally, StoreVision can be deployed at customer sites around the world, implemented quickly to coincide with customer deadlines because of its modularity and the added world-wide implementation capability of IBM Global Technology Services.
"We have already seen the tremendous benefits in scaling our solution with IBM's Global Technology Services team, now we can integrate StoreVision with the rest of the IBM Retail solution portfolio creating a tremendous value package for our customers." said John Sullivan, C.E.O of Agilence, Inc..

Current Agilence customers are generating immediate increases in apprehensions (often doubling or tripling their counseling and termination rates) and more importantly, long-term improvements in productivity and shrink, resulting in tremendous return on investment and improved bottom line

Learn the incredible story of a forgotten 19th century hero: a former slave who became a Yale scholar, minister, and an international leader of the Antebellum abolitionist movement. James W.C. Pennington, 19 years old and illiterate, escaped from slavery in 1827 and soon became a leading voice against slavery. Pennington traveled widely in Britain and Europe to gain support for the American abolition movement, and wrote the first-ever "History of the Colored People" plus a careful study of the moral basis for civil disobedience, which was echoed decades later by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.
Scholar and local author Christopher Webber will read from his biography, American to the Backbone: the Life of James W.C. Pennington. Copies will be available for purchase & autographing.

Glasgow Violence: When Media Bias Goes Too Far
On Thursday, 85% of the Scottish population turned out to cast their votes in the referendum on independence following days of peaceful demonstrations by Yes voters in the heart of our largest city, Glasgow.
On Friday, Glasgow was gripped by fear as pro-union fascists rushed George Square, determined to engage in violence and hatred; the loyalists of Glasgow joined by members of the Scottish and English Defence Leagues, and all partly encouraged by Britain First.
Young girls had their Scottish flags torn away from them, women with Yes badges were spat at and called scum, nazi salutes and red hand of Ulster salutes were seen, flares were thrown, and the sectarian edge was on full display with "No Surrender" signs. Assaults were made on those carrying Saltires.
These are not the scenes reported by the BBC news or a number of newspapers who assure us that this was a "clash" between Yes and No voters, following their portrayal of Yes voters as Scottish nationalist mobs who intimidated No voters, despite little evidence to the contrary.
In truth, the police had the events of last evening well in hand. Glasgow is no stranger to sectarian trouble (a number of this mob wore Rangers tops), quickly surrounding the group and acting to restrict violence as far as possible as they departed the square and moved elsewhere. Six arrests were made and after a few hours the city was calm once more.
But what there was a disturbing lack of was information. News. People in the city and those in the rest of Scotland with friends and family in Glasgow had no idea what was happening. Those on twitter could find no information on whether things had escalated or calmed down, on where was safe and where was not.
The police described the situation as "handbags". They've dealt with much worse. But to write this off as sectarian violence alone excuses those fascists who travelled to take part. To write it off as only fascists excuses the local loyalists spoiling for a fight.
While the identity of the perpetrators is unknown, the one Scotland newspaper that supported independence – The Herald – had their generator set alight. The Sunday Herald is currently collecting evidence from the night to make a full report in their next edition.
Glasgow is a complicated city with a troubled past, but the level of political engagement across Scotland and within the city during this referendum was unprecedented. And almost entirely peaceful until now. Scotland had shown the world what democracy without war looks like, but while the UK media ignores the dark side of both Glasgow and the union, the international media has carried the most information on events.
That people in Glasgow, Scotland and the UK had to turn to twitter to get the real information of what was happening is incredible. And while photographs and videos were helpful in illustrating the events, there was no control on validity of information. #GlasgowRiots trended through the night despite the situation being over, while many seemed under the impression that it was Yes voters at fault.
Invoking the spirit of sectarianism there was no doubt trouble on both sides of that particular divide, but the swelling of ranks from fascist groups ensured that it was those bearing the Scottish flag or Yes badges that were in danger.
This was no celebration. This was no representation of No voters. These bigots represent no one but themselves. But the media turning a blind eye to this, or insinuating it is no worse than Scottish nationalists throwing an egg is irresponsible. I had friends hiding at home because they were terrified to go out on the streets without the safety of having white skin, with no idea of when the trouble was over.
There are Orange marches planned today in the city. Hopefully these idiots will stay at home. Please stay safe.

"I'm Just the Fool Who Got Played": Matt Revisits X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE
by Matt Goldberg Posted 152 days ago
[With X-Men: Days of Future Past opening on Friday, I'm taking a look back at the X-Men movie franchise. These reviews contain spoilers.]
Since X-Men: The Last Stand killed Cyclops and Jean, half-killed Professor X, and weakened Magneto, the trilogy had concluded not because it was narratively fulfilled, but because it was exhausted. There was no place left for the X-Men to go, but fans knew that Wolverine's story had plenty of places to visit, most notably, his origin. X2 gave causal viewers enough information to figure out what happened to Logan, but fans knew there was far more to his story. The movie lined up not only the Weapon X narrative, but also provided fan-favorite characters such Deadpool and Gambit.
But behind-the-scenes disasters and an abominable script weakened Wolverine and the franchise more than a revolver full of adamantium bullets.
