Great piece I really like itRead More
Nantucket Kitchen Island is the Bomb!
Ordered furniture for the first time on line and was very wary of how well built it would be and if it would come in good condition. This came in excellent condition with no damage. Very heavy and well made piece, looks great in our kitchen!Read More

Beautiful, strong and looms grest in my apartmentRead More
Great island
Island has wonderful quality. My husband and brother were able to put it together in less than 2 hours. Quality is great. We put it in our kitchen that has white cabinets with the same panelled look as the island. The white cabinets (with black countertops) along with the black island look great together. We were worried about the top of the island getting scratched as per other reviews, so we ended up putting a plastic table cover on it that can be used more for cooking and easily wiped down.Read More
Solid and Sturdy
I love this island. It is a very beautiful and well made piece of furniture. The granite top is very heavy. Make sure you have lots of help to put it on.Read More
Great Island, Difficult to Assemble
I am in LOVE with this island! I recently moved in with my boyfriend and he had minimal storage and no island in the kitchen, so I immediately went on the hunt for something that would be affordable and look nice. This island was perfect. The quality is great and I love the way it looks. Most of my furniture is from Crate and Barrel and Room and Board and this meshed perfectly with it. The only negative, and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because it was difficult to assemble. There were some screws missing and at some points the directions were not quite clear. In addition, the top is granite and extremely heavy so you really need 3 people to install the top (2 to lift and 1 to guide it into the holes and make sure it is level). Overall it is a great product and I would highly recommend!Read More
Muscles Needed
I just purchased an older home and the kitchen is not very efficient. My plan was to put the Nantucket Island on castors so I could move it around and have more counter space wherever I needed it. And still be able to drop the 'breakfast bar' leaf and push it against a wall to open up more floor space. The island arrived in 2 large, very heavy boxes. I dragged one into my hallway but couldn't manage the other one until my husband came home from work. The instructions were very good. The wood is very heavy and well manufactured. All the connections lined up easily. It will last a very long time. I really enjoy putting things together so building the island was fun. However, I could not manipulate it by myself, once it was mostly assembled due to the density of the wood. Following the instructions, I opened the 2nd box with the granite top AFTER the base was almost finished. I needed help to even tilt the top so I could get a few of the base pieces out from under it. Then I needed to have 3 friends come over to help us lift the top onto the base while lining up the pegs and lock nuts. When we finally uncovered the top which had foam sheeting over it to protect it from scratching, I found that the granite was cracked. We put it on anyway so I could clean up the mess that had been on the kitchen floor for days. And I left an email for customer service requesting a new top. The next day I received a reply stating another top was being shipped to me. It arrived 3 days later. The Island comes with leveling 'feet'. And the blocks of wood attached to the bottom weren't large enough to attach castors. My husband come up with the brilliant idea of buying a flat dolly on wheels to put underneath the Island. The Island has a decorative 'skirt' trim at the bottom so you can't see the dolly or even the feet, at all. The dolly hold 1,000 pounds so it's very secure and moves on the tile floor very easily. It doesn't exactly fit the inner measurements of the Island, but due to the weight of the Island, it doesn't slide around unless it catches on a grout line in the floor. And even then, it doesn't tip or anything. I can just hear it slid against the bottom of the Island. It would be really great if they added the option of having castors on the bottom. The Island is beautiful I think it adds a lot to my kitchen. We had a few friends over last night and everyone thought it was a great looking piece of furniture and a terrific addition to the kitchen.Read More
Great addition to our kitchen w/ great storage!
This kitchen island was really well put together! Does not look cheap and does not look like a kitchen cart. It's great craftmanship. It looks really nice and we are so happy we found it! We were very pleased of the completed outcome. The black granite meshes well at the top and won't clash with the countertops we are choosing (Super White Marble-- it's white and gray). It's packaged into two very heavy boxes. Not a single piece was broken! Very well packaged. One box is a lot heavier than the other because of the granite countertop. Everything was labeled nicely! Even the hardware! The shelves on the sides are adjustable -- one side we display our wine bottles. The cabinet has a two level shelving -- plenty of storage space. The drawer on top has a lot of space too. It's the same height as our cabinets-- so even if it doesn't have the same wood design in our cabinets -- it still works! It's the main piece of the kitchen. We love the extra counter space! We didn't order it with the chairs but plan on finding backless stools that fit nicely under the folded end. This was shipped fast too! Overstock did it again! If you really liking this piece --- just get it! You won't be disappointed!Read More
nantucket kitchen island
AWESOME! This kitchen island has surpassed expectations. I have purchased furniture on line before and a big concern is the packing. This item is the best packed item ever. Encased in plywood, then styrofoam, then non scratch liners, it took awhile just to unpack the pieces and nothing was broken or even scratched. The outside of the cardboard shipping boxes were very dented by the shipping company and still the contents were perfect! The construction materials of the island is top notch and the drawer, shelves, and doors are wonderful. The granite top was sealed into the top so I didn't worry about it falling out during assembly. After assembly which took awhile, the product is better and has more features than islands I priced in custom furniture stores. It was also at least half the price. I went with the dark color and it looks great. I'm very happy with this kitchen island.Read More
Best investment ever!
I live in a small studio apt with a small kitchen and very little counter top space. I purchased this item over a year ago and it was a big investment for me at the time. It was a bit difficult to put together, but once it was completed, my space was entirely transformed, adding a breakfast nook and seating area when visitors were over. I had so much more storage space for my pots and pans and the drawer is quite large for all the extras. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone.Read More

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
A La Plata man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for killing a man in a March 2011 hit-and-run accident.
Justin Alexander Larkin, 26, was first charged in April with leaving the scene of a fatal accident in which he struck Darrell Gene Sallie, 57, of La Plata on Route 6 near Wheatley Road, leaving Sallie�s body to be found March 25, 2011, just west of Cooksey�s Store.
Investigators determined Sallie had left his home to go for a walk and was in the grass along westbound Route 6 when he was hit by a vehicle sometime between 10 p.m. the previous day and 11 a.m., when his body was found. Sallie was thrown nearly 60 feet into a roadside ditch, according to prosecutors.
The vehicle did not remain at the scene, and no one reported the accident to police.
Broken auto parts found near Sallie�s body indicated he had been hit by a 1997 or 1998 Ford F150 truck, according to Maryland State Police.
Investigators received a number of tips from citizens, but it wasn�t until a year ago that troopers with the MSP La Plata barrack received information indicating Larkin might have been the person who hit Sallie.
Troopers later learned Larkin had owned a 1998 Ford F150 but sold it May 12, 2011, weeks after the accident.
They tracked the truck to its new owner, who allowed police to examine the vehicle. Investigators confirmed that the broken parts found near Sallie�s body came from the truck.
The evidence was presented April 13 to a Charles County grand jury, which issued an indictment charging Larkin with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury or death. Larkin was arrested April 21 without incident at an Indian Head home.
Following his arrest, Larkin told investigators that the accident had occurred while he was addicted to heroin, according to Charles County Assistant State�s Attorney Francis J. Granados. He told police he had used heroin March 24, 2011, before the accident and �nodded off� while driving along Route 6.
Larkin said he woke up after feeling his truck strike something and stopped to inspect the vehicle, but he left the scene assuming he�d hit a roadside sign. He did not report the accident to police.
Given Larkin�s statement and admitted drug use prior to the accident, another grand jury indicted Larkin in July for negligent manslaughter and an additional count of leaving the scene of a fatal accident.
Following a two-day trial in August, a jury convicted Larkin of all three counts.
Friends and members of Sallie�s family spoke at Larkin�s sentencing hearing, which lasted nearly two hours. Carol Sallie said her husband was one year away from retirement and that the couple, married for 38 years, had been looking forward to spending their golden years together.
�It is unbearable seeing the empty place where Darrell sat every day, hearing the silence where laughter and joking once took place, and most of all, experiencing the absence of his voice,� Carol Sallie said. �We have been robbed of all he was, and [the] void is so loud.�
Several of Sallie�s co-workers at the Architect of the Capitol wrote letters to Charles County Circuit Judge Robert C. Nalley requesting that Larkin receive the maximum sentence allowable.
�What kind of person runs off the road, kills another person and doesn�t bother to tell anyone?� Granados asked at Larkin�s sentencing hearing. �Most people, if they struck an animal, would have the decency to get out and look. Justin Larkin didn�t have that decency for a human being.�
More than a dozen of Larkin�s family members, friends and co-workers also wrote Nalley letters, describing Larkin as a good person, loving father and hard worker.
Larkin apologized to Sallie�s family and friends in the courtroom.
�I couldn�t conceive the pain you feel for the loss of a loved one, and for that I will always be sorry and now I will go through life with this burden weighing on my conscience,� Larkin said. �My heart goes out to you. I can only imagine losing a loved one that has been here for me. I couldn�t contemplate the pain of never seeing them again.�
Nalley noted that �there is no correct sentence in these cases� before giving Larkin 10 years in prison and another 10 years suspended. He also ordered that Larkin serve five years of supervised probation upon his release.
�This case reminds us how dangerous drugged or drunk driving can be,� Charles County State�s Attorney Anthony B. Covington (D) said. �Judge Nalley�s sentence was perfectly appropriate. This defendant was high on heroin driving down our roadways and killed a man. We say don�t drive while under the influence, and people just don�t listen. Hopefully these 10 years will catch somebody�s attention.�

Wanna learn to see auras like Ever in the Immortal Series?! Alyson put these simple instructions on her website at: http://www.alysonnoel.com/IMMORTALS/extras.php. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but I think a facebook quiz once told me my aura was Violet… however might not be too accurate since, you know, FACEBOOK CAN'T SEE ME! or at least I hope not… :::paranoid face:::
The aura is the colorful electromagnetic field that surrounds all living things. With some practice, you can see an aura too!
Here's how:
Turn the lights low but not off. You want the room dim with just enough light so that you can still see in front of you.
If you're with another person, have them stand before a white background, if not, hold your hands before a white background.
Relax. Seriously, relax! Your gaze needs to be soft in order for this to work. So while you want to maintain your gaze, you don't want to give a hard stare.
If you're with a friend, focus on the area just around them (with a soft gaze). After a few seconds you should be able to see a white glow around them if not color. This is the aura—you did it!
If you're alone, bring your index fingers together until they just barely touch, then gaze softly at the space between them. You can move your fingers back and forth if you want (but don't touch) until you notice the glow just between them.
If you saw a white glowing light—congrats! If you saw color—wow! If you didn't see anything, don't worry, keep trying—you'll get it eventually!

Gallery: Recycled Wine Corks Make Stylish Penny Tile Flooring
Penny tiles are a popular look for interior flooring. While ceramic and glass are often used to make tiles, these beautiful penny tiles, which we noticed on 3rings blog, are actually cut from recycled wine corks. Designed by Jelinek Cork, the recycled tiles take advantage of cork's natural resiliency and water resistance to create a stylish low-impact flooring material.
To make the tiles, Jelinek Cork takes old wine corks which "are cut into circular discs about 6mm (1/4″) thick and glued on a special paper backing to form interesting and unique mosaic patterns." The material is adhered to the subfloor and grouted like tile, and then covered with urethane, like other kinds of cork flooring. Individual cork discs can be stained different colors to produce patterns. Cork can also be combined with other tile materials in a floor to provide even more design options.
Used wine corks are being collected for recycling by CorkReHarvest which has located drop boxes in many Whole Foods stores across the US and Canada. Recycled cork obviously cannot be reused in wine bottles, but the cork penny tiles are one of a number of reuse applications for used corks.
And we think wine corks seem a bit more practical than a floor made from peach pips.

The cork is such unbeatable material! I am wondering if it is suitable for both public and home usage. As I can see on the pictures it could be used in restaurants or somewhere on the backyards of the house as well. Anyway, absolutely green idea…

@kelray88 There's actually some new products out of the market from a company called US Floors that is just tile flooring mad of cork. The edges are less exposed and they will wear a lot longer. I found their website: usfloorsllc.com there's over 20 styles and they can even do custom jobs!
May 28, 2010 at 9:45 am
It's a cool look and idea, but one of the few wear issues with cork is the edges…so I'm not sure how this would wear over time, considering how many exposed edges there are.
May 15, 2010 at 12:17 am
How funny! I just received a shipment of these last week to install as part of a bathroom remodel. I can't wait to see the finished result.
@sinteriordesign The adhesive that Jelinek sells says that it is intended to be applied over concrete. Since my bath is on the second floor, I checked with them about using cement backer boards, and they said it was fine. Their customer service reps are outstanding, so I'd suggest giving them a call if you need better information.

Love the recycled wine cork flooring. As an interior designer who loves her wine, and is interested in promoting eco-friendly flooring solutions to my clientele, this really struck home with me! Question, "what type of sub-floor or underlay do you need?"

Now that's being "green"! Love the look. Maybe I'll have to start drinking more wine

The Center for University Studies & Programs (CUSP) and Center for International Education are excited to offer a course specially designed for international students, called BCUSP 100 A: Academic Transition for International Students
Whether you have studied in the U.S. before or if this is your first time to do so, international students typically find that adjusting to the University setting in the U.S. can have its academic challenges and differences.
Taught by your International Student Advisor, this is a 2 credit course designed to help you become academically successful at UW Bothell by helping you:
CIE strongly encourages students to enroll in BCUSP 100 during their first quarter at UW Bothell. BCUSP 100 counts towards your 12-credit minimum for visa requirements, and you will receive a credit/no credit grade at the end of the course.
Students who have taken this course have found it helpful, as well as a great way to meet other students and begin to understand U.S. classroom culture! :
"It was interesting to meet and share cultural differences and similarities with peers....it actually made me rethink about the uniqueness of my own culture, too."
"It was a difficult transition for me to be put in a U.S. educational system and to be expected to behave and participate like everyone else. This class was a safe environment to adjust."
"The class let me have a better understanding of American education."
"The class textbook is useful...it's like a guidebook for international students to follow, and it can stay with the international student through their whole study period at the University."
"I had a wonderful experience being in this class...I got to interact with other international students, practice speaking in a more relaxed atmosphere, ask questions related to our new setting...and learn about the Western culture."
"This class is really a great asset to me that can help me overcome my own fears and adapt myself to America's academic environment."
"I knew about the seriousness and the severe consequences of plagiarism when I was in China, but I never knew how serious it could be in the U.S.!"
"Academic Transition for International Students class is a necessary class for all international students...I learned more about American style of education."
Interested to Enroll?
More information about how to register for this course can be found in the quarterly time schedules, provided by the Office of the Registrar. BCUSP is offered in Autumn, Winter and Spring quarter.
60% of current UW Bothell students receive financial aid.

Sherwood High School's Maddie Moyer sat in a room on the bottom floor of the University of Maryland's Ritchie Coliseum last week with her eyes bloodshot. But the senior setter still displayed a smile as the thought slowly sunk in that her high school tenure had just concluded.
It couldn't have ended any better for her and the Warriors. Sherwood won its third straight Class 4A girls volleyball state title by sweeping Arundel 27-25, 25-14, 25-13 in College Park.
Sherwood also defeated Arundel in straight sets during last year's championship match and eliminated the Wildcats in the state semifinals in 2010.
"Coming in freshman year, I never would have expected that we would win three state championships," said Moyer, who recorded 30 assists in the final on Nov. 19. "It's unbelievable and it's a dream come true. Winning one was amazing. Winning three, that's just unheard of."
The win extended Sherwood's unbeaten streak to 57 in best-of-five set matches and capped a third straight perfect 19-0 season. It only lost three sets all year — two to Walter Johnson and one to Broadneck.
Since the 4A classification — the state's largest — was established in 1988, the Warriors are the fourth team to win three consecutive state championships. Severna Park (1991-'93), Northern-Calvert (1994-'96) and Broadneck (2007-'09) also won three straight 4A state titles. Sherwood is the only team to do so without dropping a set in finals matches.
"It really hasn't hit me yet, but just knowing that we've won three is a dream come true," senior Alex Holston said.
Holston, who plans to play at the University of Florida next year, was again dominant. A match after setting a state record with 42 kills, Holston had 25 kills, four aces and three block assists.
"It's pretty tough [defending Holston]," Arundel libero Lilly Glenn said. "You just have to read her arm and it goes down pretty fast."
Arundel coach Ashley Yuscavage said, "Everything she did out there she did well. She passed well when she had to [and] she played defense well. ... It's always exciting to see really good volleyball players and it's exciting to see her move on to the next stage of the game."
Arundel (19-1) played Sherwood closest in the first set and had a chance to win with a set point. But the Warriors rallied as Moyer fed the ball to Holston for two points before winning the set on a Wildcat error.
In the second and third sets, Sherwood took control, both emotionally and physically, to put the match away.
The second set was put out of reach with Moyer at the service line. A 15-13 Warrior lead quickly turned into a 22-13 advantage. Moyer served two aces during that stretch while Holston had four kills, including one on a block.
Senior libero Megan Brady made arguably the play of the match during the second. After Holston tipped a ball behind the back line on the team's second hit, Brady ran the ball down and hit a backwards, over-the-shoulder bump from 10 feet beyond the boundary line back to the Wildcats. Arundel returned the ball on one hit to a waiting Natalie Sebeck who was positioned at the net. Sebeck slammed it back to take the point.
"We had to leave everything on the court or we would regret it," Brady said. "We left everything we could on the court and it paid off."
Sherwood 3, Arundel 0
Sherwood (19-0) 27 25 25 — 3
Arundel (19-1) 25 14 13 — 0
Sherwood — Alex Holston 25, Kerra Tirado 4, Makayla Roy 3, Katie Russell 2
Arundel — Allison Orr 5, Samantha Hebb 3, Gabrelle Bryant 3, Ashlee Felton 3

Kosher Poultry
|Country Chicken
Adapted from Römertopf Clay Baker Recipes by Reco International
3-1/2 pound whole chicken
Soak clay cooker bottom and top in water for 15 minutes.
Wash and pat dry the chicken; rub the inside with salt and pepper. Place the yellow onion, parsley sprigs and celery tops into the cavity of the chicken.* Tie the legs together and place in bottom of the pot. Brush with melted margarine**, if desired. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. A small amount of white wine may be added for flavor.
Place vegetables around the chicken; Sprinkle all with minced parsley. Cover the pot and place in a cold oven. Bake at 450 degrees for about 85 minutes.
If you prefer a very crisp chicken, remove the pot from the oven after 85 minutes. take the vegetables out and pour the pot juices into a saucepan to keep warm. Return the pot, without the lid, to the oven for crisping.
*We also add a lemon, pierced in several places, in the chicken cavity.
**We brush with a small amount of olive oil. There are so many ways you can personalize this recipe: we have used fresh rosemary in place of the thyme; added a whole bulb or two of garlic (top trimmed) to the veggie mix; added a bay leaf; sliced shallots;sliced celery; small tri-colored potatoes

NAMI FaithNet Newsletter: November 2010
Welcome to the November issue of the NAMI FaithNet Newsletter.
In This Issue:
A Healing Agent: The Chicago Catholic Archdiocesan Commission on Mental Illness
Deacon Tom Lambert shares his work with the Archdiocese of Chicago Commission on Mental Illness. Knowing that people with mental illness and their families often feel isolated, Deacon Lambert and others have worked to raise awareness of the needs of these people. The group offers a wide variety of educational and support efforts, including workshops and seminars for Catholic clergy, a Faith and Fellowship program for ministers serving people with mental illness in residential facilities and retreats for people living with mental illness and their families.
New Survey: Religion Helps, Hurts Depression
The Salt Lake Tribune reports that a new depression study conducted by researchers at Utah Valley University suggests that religion can have both positive and negative effects on people living with depression. People who are actively engaged in their faith may be less vulnerable to depression. However, others who may feel estranged from their religion may be at higher risk for depression.
CMS: A Faith and Community-Based Gathering
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services hosted a meeting for faith leaders and others engaged in faith outreach on October 21, 2010 in Washington, D.C.
Recognizing that many people rely on their faith communities for information related to health, including services for seniors and low-income families, the meeting offered attendees an overview of the Affordable Care Act and implications for all Americans. Panel speakers from organizations like the Lutheran Services in America, Catholic Charities and the Jewish Federation of North America and others shared their current efforts working within their local communities.
For additional information, visit the Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at www.hhs.gov/partnerships.
Social Networking Support for People Affected by Mental Illness
Many people today turn to social networking to connect with communities for information and peer support.
You can keep up with NAMIís efforts, including new information from NAMI FaithNet, breaking news stories and also connect with others affected by mental illness on the NAMI Facebook page and on Twitter at NAMICommunicate.
Finding Hope in Mental Illness is another Facebook page where you find mental health support and engaged with others. The page was created by Shadow Voices, related to a documentary about peopleís experiences with mental illness.

Please click a product below.
When your 4th Gen iPod touch gets exposed to water damage and other liquid damage (washing machine, ocean, lake, pond, soda, beer, humidity, moisture, etc.) and something or everything stops working, this is the proper repair evaluation service for you.
Once received, we will carefully place your device in a sealed bag filled with moisture-absorbing material for several days. Next, we will carefully disassemble your device so that all the internal parts are exposed, and then treat the appropriate parts with a high-quality corrosion-inhibitor. Then, we carefully re-assembly the device to see if functionality can be restored. Afterwards, we will contact you with the results, and discuss any parts that have to be replaced, or discuss data backup alternatives. Once we have your approval, we will repair the device, test everything out, and then send it back to you in good working order.
We apply the cost of this Repair Evaluation Service towards any parts and/or labor that we find you will need, so the evaluation is essentially free if you opt to have the device repaired.
Here are some very important tips before placing your order:
Note: If the evaluation of your device reveals the need for a part that we can no longer obtain, we will have to send your device back un-repaired. More detail on this can be found in our Terms of Service.
Note: If you are interested in the possibility of a data backup, be sure to indicate that in the Order Comments field during checkout and we will let you know if that is possible after your device arrives.
We are still building out our statistics, but we have found that devices that suffer some form of liquid damage have about a 50-50 chance of long-term success. Devices may work for a day, a week, a month, a year, a decade, and then something else related to the initial liquid trauma may cause another part to fail, so please keep this in mind.
If you have nothing to lose and want to take the best shot possible at getting your liquid-exposed device working again, this is the service for you! And heck, sometimes the sheer act of our treating the device fixes everything, and you would not be asked to pay anything else.
We offer a variety of same-day shipping options from us to you, perfect for any level of urgency.
To see all of our outbound shipping methods (shipping options from us to you) view our Shipping Methods page. If you wish to learn more about our inbound shipping options (how you can get your device to us so that we can work with it), please view our Guidance for Safe Shipping page.
Limited-Time Offer! Enter FREESHIP in the coupon code field at checkout for FREE USPS First Class Mail shipping or apply this offer towards any other shipping method that you prefer!! Applies to the leg of shipping from us to you.
Want to send your device to us for this repair? Great! Learn more about the simple repair process here.
If sending in your device, please be aware that the amount of time it takes for us to address each device varies, but we strive for quick turnaround times in all cases. Our best estimate for your turnaround time will be included in the email you will receive when your device arrives in our facility to help set your expectations accordingly.

A simple, beautiful tribute to the ethos of what America and the American military is all about: there are easier paths and well-worn paths, but then there is America's chosen path. It's the path to goodness and Godliness, and it comes with few friends and countless enemies, foreign and domestic. From the Apache helicopter at sunset, to the artistic layout of the legendary Robert Frost verse, this is a spectacular piece for your wall! Perfect for home, office, dorm room or barracks.

I showed my girlfriend your post and now all of a sudden she's in the shop looking thru the scrap bin wanting to make something. This is the first time in the three years she has walked into the shop let alone shown any real interest in what I do (other than collect the money). Tell your girlfriend thanks for showing her artistic side as it has gotten mine interested as well. Dave
P.S. nice job on the project.

Hey! It's Mike's Girlfriend...
First of all, I want to thank all you guys for being so very humble and gracious. And I really mean that!
When ever I found out Mike posted my moon 'n stars, I could have killed him, but as I read all your comments, I thought, what a great forum, it doesn't matter how good the product is, it's the thought and time put into it that's appreciated. That's awesome!
I read along with Mike every day and like the fact that every one here seems to help each other out and give each other ideas and what not. It's very inspiring to me. It's not that often that you find a great site like this one.
Thanks again for the posative feed back, and also for a great place to come and read and feel at home! - Janet

Keep making stuff to show us.
Thats pretty much why we are all here...
It's too cool that you are helping your girlfriend open up her artistic talents.
Please remind her when she gets famous and rich, who helped her get there Maybe she'll buy you (or share with you) her new Dynasty 300dx
Any shows that she can display her stuff at, like I mentioned to fun4now, will get her name out. They may not want to buy what she has right there, but when they or their boss gets ideas, they'll know who they can go to, to make it
bertI'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time
She should get her own screen name so she can come and chat with us. Since she's new to welding maybe she should get one on the ask andy site too. That way she can get more welding related advice, that way she can get good enough at welding to do stuff out of exotic metals such as copper, aluminum or SS. Those could allow her to do some REALY neat things, especialy the copper.
P.S. Great looking art, keep it coming!
Her creativity and carry thru are very good. She shows the signs of becoming a metal artist.
Hey Janet,
We all understand about thought and time As my first gate project took me much longer than I had anticipated, like all the guys said, it'll get faster as we do more...
good job!I'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time

Janet welds!!
If pressed, I think most guys here will agree that most women with the same experience, are better welders than most guys. Reason being, is that they listen to what instructions they are being told and are more willing to ask questions on how, why, how do I do this. Most guys dont want to admit any sort of ignorance and wont adapt easily to new ideas or instruction. (Im not admitting how I learned this) Janet, we all hope to see more of your creations in the future. I, for one, appreciate creativeness as I have none but wish I did. I cant go from the abstract to reality very well. Id hope you had a lonesome sister or widowed/divorced mom or ??? also. Thanks for letting us see your work! Bill

POZNAN, Poland. THE European Junior Championships kicked off with a seriously strong outing in the women's 50-meter breaststroke.
Ukraine's Viktoriya Solntseva popped a meet-record time in the women's 50-meter breaststroke with a 30.83 for the win. That swim smashed the previous record set by Russia's Yuliya Efimova (31.45) back in 2007. That performance shot Solntseva to a seventh-ranked in the world.

Posted in Early Childhood
The minds of young children are more open to learning than most parents realize. As a result, the positive influence of adults can set the pace of learning for the rest of their academic and professional careers. While educators provide learning opportunities that can lead to academic success, parental involvement is critical to support further development.
A child's development is influenced by their relationships, the strongest bond being with you, the parent. As the first and primary teacher in their lives it is important to demonstrate your interest in learning to show that you value education. Inspired by your interest and enthusiasm, your child will then bring a more positive learning attitude with them into the classroom, increasing their chances for long-term academic and professional success.
In addition to improving a child's learning potential, research shows that parental involvement in their children's education is a key factor in affecting their overall behavior as well as social and emotional development.
All young children deserve a strong foundation. Support your child's healthy brain development by reading together, participating in educational activities and doing projects together. Learning as a family can benefit both you and your children by creating a supportive learning environment. This allows you to improve your own skills and confidence while enhancing your ability to support your child's education. Children soak up bits of knowledge from everyday interactions — make sure yours are worth absorbing.

The World Diabetes Day 2014 campaign is asking everyone to GO BLUE FOR BREAKFAST in November by organising a healthy breakfast activity in their local community to highlight the importance of eating healthy to help prevent type 2 diabetes and avoid the serious complications of diabetes. The initiative promotes the benefits of starting the day with a healthy breakfast. A healthy breakfast can help individuals manage their weight and, for people living with diabetes, keep blood glucose levels stable.
You can join the campaign by:
- Getting your friends, family, colleagues or members of your organisation together and asking them to join you for a healthy breakfast to mark World Diabetes Day on 14 November.
- Identifying a public place in your town or city where the breakfast could be held.
- Submitting your event on our custom online platform
Please ask participants at your breakfast event to wear blue, the colour of the blue circle - the global symbol for diabetes awareness.
All Go Blue for Breakfast events submitted will be displayed on the world map featured on the platform. The number of participants will go towards filling the blue circle in the centre.
- Decide on a location to hold your Go Blue for Breakfast event. Ideally this will be in the town centre, with easy access and a constant flow of people.
- Talk to your local authorities to see if a permit is required
- Consider safety issues and take weather conditions into consideration
- Identify any event furniture needed (tables, marquees,…) and technical requirements
- Invite local authorities to your Go Blue for Breakfast event. Prominent local officials will attract media attention.
- Arrange someone to take photographs and videos of the event.
- Order your WDD promotional items.
How can you promote your event locally?
- Prior to your Go Blue for Breakfast event contact local media and let them know about your event. Prepare and send media and photo call alerts.
- Promote your event on local websites, community and health centres and schools.
- Create a page or section on your website with information about your event, the World Diabetes Day campaign and facts about healthy eating and diabetes.

SACRAMENTO - Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) released the following statement on the announcement by U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki of $100 million in federal grants to help homeless and at-risk veterans and their families:
"Today's announcement by Secretary Shinseki of federal grants for services to at-risk veterans and their families is welcome news for veterans across California. Our state's share of these funds will be over 14 million dollars, which will help make a genuine difference in the lives of veterans who are at-risk, homeless or transitioning to permanent housing. Aiding our veterans is a job for everyone, and I am pleased at this latest addition to the efforts being made here in California and throughout the country to do just that."
According to the Veterans Administration, the grants will go to 151 community agencies in 49 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico that provide services to very low-income veteran families living in or transitioning to permanent housing. California agencies will receive approximately $14.2 million.
Speaker Pérez is currently leading a bipartisan Assembly delegation to Washington, D.C., which included a meeting this afternoon with the VA on ways to increase support for veterans.
Over the past two years, Speaker Pérez and the Assembly have directed $2 million in savings from the Assembly operating budget to fund programs for veterans, ranging from job training to mental health counseling to employment assistance.

In the middle of having sex with her boyfriend, Kara Jackson's* heavy breathing suddenly turned into labored breathing.
Her tongue felt swollen, like a balloon in her throat, blocking her airway. Stark naked, she bolted upright and tried to reassure her boyfriend that she was OK. But her mouth could not string together the sentence her brain was forming. "My words totally garbled, like I was tripping over my tongue," she recalls. "I tried again, but I still couldn't speak. That's when the panic set in."
She felt like crying but couldn't even do that. As her boyfriend called 911, Kara thought, I should put on some clothes before the medics arrive. But she couldn't move her left arm. Or stand up.
By the time the ambulance reached her New York City apartment building, Kara was able to speak again. But a throbbing headache had set in, one with a visual aura, as though a camera flashbulb had blinked and stayed on. She told the medics she thought she was having an allergic reaction, although to what she didn't know. Or, she speculated, it was "a really weird migraine"—but quite different from the ones she'd experienced since she was 13. "Truth is, I had no idea what was happening to me," Kara now says.
In fact, at 23, Kara had just suffered a stroke.
A mystifying increase
This past fall, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study showing an alarming rise among young adults in the number of acute ischemic strokes, by far the most common kind, in which the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off due to a blockage. From 1995 to 2008, the number of women ages 15 to 34 who were hospitalized for this type of stroke rose some 23 percent, from 3,750 a year to nearly 4,900. For the next age-group, 35 to 44, hospitalizations jumped 29 percent, from 9,400 a year to nearly 13,400. And a second study found that strokes among 20-to 44-year-old Caucasians (who are generally at lesser risk than African Americans) has more than doubled since 1993.
"This is a significant and scary change," says Brett Kissela, M.D., a neurology professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and lead author of the latter study. Stroke is commonly, and justifiably, thought of as a curse for older people: The average stroke victim is 68 years old. What's causing its rise among the young is one of the most urgent questions facing the medical community today. "The question is, are we seeing more strokes in young people or are we better at finding them?" asks Kissela. "My belief is that we're seeing more strokes. This could prove an expensive and devastating trend for society, as well as for each person who goes from healthy one second to disabled the next."
Scarier still is how often strokes in young adults are missed—some 14 percent of the time, according to researchers at Wayne State University. Patients from that study were misdiagnosed as, among other things, being drunk, having an inner ear infection, or suffering from benign vertigo.
"If a young person has symptoms of sudden unsteadiness, dizziness, or weakness, it's almost always considered a less dramatic event than stroke," says study coauthor Kumar Rajamani, M.D., an associate professor of neurology at Wayne State University School of Medicine.
The consequences of misdiagnosis are dire, because when having a stroke, every minute counts. "Timeliness of treatment is crucial," says Rajamani. After a stroke is diagnosed, patients generally have up to three hours (in some situations up to four and a half hours) to be injected with a clot-busting drug called tissue plasminogen activator, or TPA.
"But if the stroke is diagnosed too late, then the affected part of the brain is already dead, which is irreversible. Treatment with TPA at this late stage is futile and perhaps dangerous." And though young stroke patients can bounce back more quickly than older ones—their brains are able to compensate better for losses—they're not immune to the often-traumatic consequences.
Maureen Graves gave birth to her daughter, Simone, in September 2008. She was 38 at the time and single, living in Seattle. A nurse at the same hospital where she delivered, Maureen was soon flooded with guests and well-wishers. "She didn't sleep very much during those first couple of days," recalls her sister, Jeanne.

Gallery: Ultra-Efficient Danish Home Produces More Energy Than It Needs
The Home For Life is one of eight experimental homes financed by VKR Holding in a plan to construct sustainable buildings called Active Houses throughout Europe. VKR Holding is working in collaboration with VELUX, VELFAC, SONNENKRAFT and WindowMaster, along with AART Architects to design and build the Home For Life. The home itself is a 2,045 sq ft two-bedroom, one and a half story home, that is designed to integrate sustainability and functionality into one cohesive project.
The slate roof is covered with a photovoltaic solar system and a solar hot water system, which when coupled with a heat pump and a super energy-efficient design can produce more power than is needed. In the winter, about 50% of the heating is provided by passive solar heating from the energy optimized windows. In the summer, an automatic natural ventilation system opens windows to control airflow through the house when needed. Daylighting plays a huge roll in the design of the house — and every room has windows on at least 2 sides.
After the home was completed the Simonsen family moved in and has been keeping track of how livable the home is. They keep notes about the home on their family diary blog (only in Danish), explaining how the automatic controls do or don't work. It's one thing to design a super efficient and automatically-controlled "smart home," but it's quite another to live in it. The Active House project is collecting all of this information from the family and will then apply that to the next houses they build.

The energy used in building is as important as that used once it is built. A zero-energy house can use 30 years' worth of energy to build because it uses materials such as steel, concrete and plastic

Great experiment. It would be very good if they would translate some of this family's thoughts also in Enghlish. So we would also understand their experience.

Gingivitis is a mild, often reversible form of gum disease. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to a serious condition called periodontitis.
A substance that forms on teeth called plaque causes gingivitis. Plaque is a sticky material, composed of bacteria, mucus, food, and other substances. It hardens to form tartar or calculus. When plaque is left on the teeth for an extended period of time, it can lead to gingivitis. Toxins produced by bacteria in dental plaque irritate the gum tissue and cause infection, inflammation, and pain.
Risk Factors
Gingivitis is more common in older adults, especially men.
Factors that increase your risk of gingivitis include:
- Poor brushing and flossing
- Stress
- Clenching teeth together or grinding teeth
- Poor nutrition
- Diabetes
- Breathing through the mouth
- HIV infection
- Improper bite
- Pregnancy
- Birth control pills
- Family members with gum disease
- Poorly fitting dentures
- Some medications taken for high blood pressure, heart disease, and depression
- Some seizure medications
- Drinking alcohol
- Smoking
- Down syndrome
Gingivitis is often painless with symptoms developing when it becomes worse.
Symptoms may include:
- Swollen, puffy gums
- Tender gums
- Redness in the gums or around the teeth
- Bleeding gums during brushing or eating
- Gum tissue that recedes or changes shape
- Persistent bad breath
The dentist will examine your teeth and gums, assessing them for swelling and areas where the tissue is pulling away from the teeth, forming a pocket. Early diagnosis of the problem enables prompt treatment and the possibility of reversing the condition. It is important to see your dentist every six months for a cleaning because gingivitis may have no symptoms in the early stages.
Gingivitis therapy aims to remove the irritating plaque and prevent its return.
Treatment includes:
- Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene
- Careful and frequent brushing and flossing
- A healthful diet that is low in saturated fat and rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables
Thoroughly brush and floss your teeth with a fluoride toothpaste. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a powered toothbrush held at a 45-degree angle to the line where your teeth and gums meet. Replace the brush or powered toothbrush bristles when the bristles become bent, frayed, or every 3-4 months. Move the brush in small circular movements along the gumline and chewing surfaces of your teeth.
Brushing removes bacteria from the teeth, but the brush cannot reach everywhere. Flossing helps get rid of food and bacteria between teeth. Hold the floss tightly. Gently bring it down between the teeth. Do not pop the floss against the gum. Curve the floss around the tooth and rub up and down. Adjust the floss, so you use a fresh section for each tooth, including the back side of the last tooth, left and right, upper and lower.
The dentist may advise additional self-care treatments, such as massaging the gums with a rubber tip. Rinses to fight bacteria and plaque build-up may help some patients.
Dental Care
Dental health professionals check for gingivitis and remove plaque that has built up on teeth. A visit every six months is usually considered adequate. Patients with gingivitis may need more frequent cleanings. If the disease progresses and plaque builds up below the gum line, the area must be scraped off and smoothed with dental tools. Otherwise, plaque and tartar buildup make it easier for bacteria to grow.
If an area has progressed to periodontal disease, surgery or medication, usually antibiotics, may be required. Treating an underlying medical problem may improve the health of your gums.
In patients with recurring or persistent gingivitis, the dentist will evaluate whether some other condition may be contributing to the gum disease.
Strategies to prevent gingivitis include:
Good dental habits:
- Brush your teeth and tongue with fluoride toothpaste at least two times per day.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a powered toothbrush.
- Floss at least once a day.
- See your dentist as advised for regular cleanings and check-ups.
- Eat balanced, nutritious meals.
- Avoid smoking.
- Avoid alcohol.

Stillwater, OK (Sports Network) - Clint Chelf threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns, as the Oklahoma State Cowboys punished the No.23 Texas Tech Red Raiders, 59-21, on Saturday.
Chelf completed 11-of-21 throws, tossing all three of his touchdowns to Isaiah Anderson, who had four catches for 174 yards for Oklahoma State (7-3, 5-2 Big 12), which beat the Red Raiders for the fourth straight time.
Joseph Randle led the Cowboys' rushing attack with 91 yards and a score on 17 carries, while J.W. Walsh ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the victory.
"Today's game was a very complete game," said Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. "I mentioned last week that we were good in all three phases of the game, but I think we were better today. We rallied to the ball and forced turnovers. We played really well."
Seth Doege completed 24-of-36 throws for 230 yards and a touchdown, but had two passes intercepted. The Red Raiders (7-4, 4-4) fell behind 35-7 after giving up 28 straight points in the first half and never recovered.
"We had our best practices last week. I have no problem with the effort and how the guys go into each game and compete," said Texas Tech coach Tommy Tuberville. "We're our own worst enemy in a lot of ways. It's been a long eight games, but we'll bounce back."
Darrin Moore caught a game-high nine passes for 140 yards and a score. Tyson Williams also hauled in a touchdown on seven catches for 47 yards, while Eric Stephens ran for a score in the loss.
The Cowboys scored on their first possession of the game, as Walsh connected with Kye Staley for a 2-yard score to cap a 12-play, 75-yard opening drive.
On the first play of the second quarter, Texas Tech evened the score at 7-7 when Stephens dove into the end zone on a 1-yard plunge. Two plays prior, Doege completed a 57-yard strike to Darrin Moore to put the Red Raiders on the Cowboys' 2-yard line.
But from there, Oklahoma State rallied off 28 unanswered points and never looked back.
On the fourth play of the Cowboys' ensuing drive, Chelf found Anderson for a 60-yard score, and after Gary Shamiel picked off Doege on Texas Tech's next touch, Chelf again found Anderson, this time for a 33-yard score.
The Red Raiders made matters even worse for themselves following Anderson's second TD catch. After failing to pick up a first down, Ryan Erxleben's punt was blocked by Teddy Johnson, allowing the Cowboys to begin their drive on the Texas Tech 24.
Oklahoma State needed just four plays to reach the end zone yet again. On 3rd- and-9, Chelf scrambled for 21 yards before Walsh punched it in on a 2-yard rush, giving the Cowboys a 21-point advantage.
Texas Tech once again went three-and-out and was forced to punt away. The Cowboys wasted no time in scoring again, as Chelf hooked up with Anderson for a 66-yard TD on the first play of the series, pushing Oklahoma State's advantage to 35-7 with 6:18 left in the half.
The Red Raiders finally got back on the board just before halftime. They drove 95 yards on 13 plays to reach the end zone, as Doege completed 10 straight throws on the march, his last to Williams for a 2-yard score to cut the deficit to 35-14 with 15 seconds remaining in the second quarter.
But Texas Tech couldn't carry the momentum into the third quarter, as Doege was intercepted by James Castleman on the first drive of the second half.
Off the turnover, Oklahoma State got into the end zone for the sixth time, as Jeremy Smith scored on a 17-yard rush to make it 42-14.
Quinn Sharp drilled a 51-yard field goal on the Cowboys' next touch, extending their advantage to 31 with 6:22 remaining in the third.
After recovering a fumble deep inside Texas Tech territory, Oklahoma State continued to pour it on. Randle twice rushed for gains of 11 yards before he scored on a 1-yard plunge with 17 seconds remaining in the third.
Oklahoma State scored its final touchdown after blocking their second punt of the game. Zack Craig got his hand on it and returned it 30 yards for the score, making it 59-14 with 12:35 to go.
Back-up quarterback Michael Brewer led the Red Raiders on a 12-play touchdown drive in garbage time, finding Moore for a 7-yard score with 2:51 to play.
The last time Oklahoma State defeated Texas Tech four straight times was
between 1942 and 1945 ... Tuberville fell to 0-3 against the Cowboys ...
Oklahoma State will face the Oklahoma Sooners next week, while Texas Tech
will conclude its regular season at home against Baylor.

Celtic Twilight 7: Sacred Spirit
"This volume of Hearts of Space's "Celtic" series features the work of their label staples in an elongated -- and sometimes even poetic -- meditation on the 'sacred.'"
- Thom Jurek (All Music Guide)
Availability: In stock.
Product Description
Celtic Twilight 7: Sacred Spirit weaves a Celtic knot of sacred music from antiquity to the present. The central feature of the Celtic worldview is the intimate relationship of humans with the natural world--"a holy intimacy between the human and the divine in nature"--and "a sense of spirit presences in nature" as Thomas Berry says. This feeling is expressed in many of the pieces on this album. A very similar worldview infuses the music of the brilliant 12th century German visionary Hildegard von Bingen. Like the Celts, Hildegard believed that the natural world is a Divine creation, filled with Divine beauty and Divine energy, and this is the theme of her songs. Some of the best Celtic artists have recognized their kinship with her and have made her music their own. This album features several songs by Hildegard in unique arrangements that are so radiantly Celtic in spirit, they almost transport the listener to the holy wells of Ireland. Also featured are top-notch Irish choir Anúna, great Celtic artists Áine Minogue and Cathie Ryan, brilliant English cellist Matthew Barley, virtuoso fiddler Mark O'Connor and his Appalachia Waltz Trio, the perfectly-tuned English choir The Cambridge Singers, and the wonderful Medieval/Eastern fusion ensemble Stellamara.
Available digitally only as full album.

Biology Main Menu
Bachelor of Science in Biology
Biology is the scientific exploration of the vast and diverse world of living organisms, and this exploration grows as we make more and more advances in areas as diverse as molecules and landscapes. Biologists study how we may continue to fit into the complex ecology of our world, and also consider ethical implications of our actions, which is immediately relevant to the ways we live worldwide.
The Bachelor of Science in Biology prepares students for a wide variety of careers, further study in graduate programs in the discipline or admittance to professional schools in the health sciences.
Course of Study
All biology majors must complete at least 47 semester hours of credit in biology courses numbered 3000 or above. In addition, general chemistry, organic chemistry and elementary statistics are required. Students should work closely with their academic advisor to select electives that allow them to tailor the biology major to meet their desired educational and career goals. Biology majors can pick from three tracks:
Career Opportunities
Students who complete a biology degree have developed a breadth of knowledge in the biological sciences and a strong foundation in math and chemistry. Coupled with the skills and knowledge gained from Armstrong State University's general education courses, the scientific expertise developed by biology majors allows them to choose careers in the following:
- health professions (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, physical therapy, physician's assistant, anesthesiologist's assistant, and pharmacy)
- research
- conservation biology
- environmental management
- teaching
Armstrong biology graduates are very competitive for admission to graduate and professional programs of study. Successful applicants must have a very good academic record, experience with the chosen field of study (internships and/or research), and close working relationships with faculty who can write letters of recommendation on their behalf. Similarly, students who seek immediate employment should have developed a thorough understanding of their field of interest and have a strong academic record.
Program Features
Our labs are spacious and are fully equipped with modern instrumentation that fully supports the curriculum. Also, because class sizes are small, students and faculty have great interaction in labs and on frequent field trips. Internship options in research, applied biology, medical professions and environmental education are available in labs, local hospitals and in physician, veterinary and dental offices. The department houses an active chapter of Beta Beta Beta, the biology honor society and the Biology Club, a student organization that provides service programs and other extracurricular opportunities.
