Central Business District Water Main Replacement
The City of Lynchburg is actively working towards a water main replacement program for the Central Business District. The City's Department of Water Resources goal is to provide safe, reliable, and quality drinking water to all of the City's customers. In reaching this goal, maintenance and replacement of existing water distribution system infrastructure is paramount. The Central Business District is probably the most challenging environment in the City to maintain and construct utility infrastructure.
- The Central Business District includes Commerce Street, Main Street, Church Street, and Court Street between 5th and 13th Streets. Over 70% of the pipes in these blocks are 100 years old or older.
- The oldest pipe in the ground was installed in 1829, and is the second oldest (to Philadelphia, PA) cast iron pipe in the country.
- Water main breaks in these blocks have shown to be disruptive to businesses and traffic and potentially costly with damages to personal property and pavement, and the City's personnel costs required to locate and repair. If you would like to see one of these repair jobs in action, please watch this LTV show called "The Night Shift with Crew 24."
- The City has a contract with Whitman, Requardt and Associates, LLP (WR&A), a Richmond, VA consulting engineering firm, to assist the Water Resource Department by developing a plan to replace the aging water lines. As a part of the WR&A team, Siddall, Inc has been included to assist the City with public relations and communications involved in this complex long term project.
- Planning for the Central Business District water main replacement will begin in 2010. The City staff and consultants will be meeting with key stakeholders in the City government and in the private business and residential market to gather information on issues and concerns.
- The City will be scheduling public meetings in order to understand the community's perspective and how these construction projects can be handled to minimize impacts to them. This will consist of a series of meetings with members of the Downtown community, retailers, residents and property owners.
- Construction of the first project would likely be in 2013 following the completion of the currently designed work on the Fifth Street corridor. Projects would likely run for 10 to 15 years. This is due to the funding that would be required to construct and the need to keep public access and detours open for maintaining the existing downtown environment.
Please refer back to this page as information about the project will be updated. Construction schedules and maps will be provided and updated on this site before and during construction.
If you have specific questions regarding the project please feel free to contact:

Porter-Cable 371 Specs
Belt size: 2 1/2 inches by 14 inches
Motor: 5 amps
Belt speed: 1,100 surface feet per minute
Weight: 5 pounds
There are few things more satisfying than scribing a piece of trim and having it fit perfectly on the first try. Porter-Cable's 371 belt sander should make such precision scribing a lot easier. Unlike most models, it can be controlled with one hand, making it the perfect tool for sanding to a line.
Performance. Thanks to its domed shape and a rubber grip, the tool is comfortable to hold. The on-off switch's slightly recessed position on the front of the tool protects it from bumps during operation. The front handle — also removable — offers increased control when sanding larger pieces; the strain relief on the rear-mounted cord doubles as a rear grip. The rear dust port — which can be removed — provides surprisingly good dust collection.
One feature I found especially useful when working next to vertical surfaces was the tool's ability to sand flush on the right side of the machine.
The 371 quickly earned its keep on the job. We used it for fitting scribed moldings and cabinets, sanding scarf joints, easing edges of stock, cleaning up saw marks, tapering plugs, and so on. We continue to find new uses for it weekly.
The Porter-Cable 371 can be operated with one hand, making it ideal for scribes and other small jobs. The rubber-wrapped housing provides a good grip.
Problems. I identified two drawbacks. First, during extended use, the tool has a tendency to become very warm. While not necessarily uncomfortable, this can be an annoyance. Moreover, I can't help but wonder whether the problem happens because the tool's 5-amp motor is being overtaxed — though we haven't found the tool to be underpowered.
Second, the 2 1/2-by-14-inch belts proved to be more difficult to find than more-common sizes. If you do manage to find them, it's probably a good idea to buy several in each grit. They weren't available at my local hardware stores, but I found them online and at a contractors' supply store.
Good buy. Aside from these quibbles, however, it seems to me that Porter-Cable has come up with a real winner for finish carpenters. Although the 371 is not a tool that will see everyday use, it certainly makes a lot of tasks easier. And at about $125 for the kit — which contains the sander, one belt, and a case — it's an easy purchase to justify.

As the baby enters life, he unveils a different world for himself. There is so much to see, understand, learn and experience. A baby's life is full of exciting new experiences as he views things and people around him with curiosity. But as he fondles with things around him, he carries dust, germs and possibility of an infection. Besides the external environment, his sensitive skin also deals with 24/7 nappies that cause dampness and may lead to a fungal infection.
It is quite natural for parents to panic with the slightest of baby's discomfort. However, it is important to note that almost all babies develop rashes with first few weeks of their life as it's the time when their skin is adapting to the outside environment. Not all rashes are harmful. Baby's immune system has the capacity to fight with most of the infections. Thus, many skin rashes heal on its own. In case, rashes are followed by fever, vomiting, pain or other symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical intervention immediately.
Most common rashes in children are caused due to nappies. The skin around the nappy area become red itchy and irritated. The best way to prevent nappy rashes is to keep baby's skin clean and dry. Check for dampness and never keep the same nappy for more than 3 hours. Antifungal creams as prescribed by a pediatrician could be applied externally to fight infection.
Blocked pores on baby's skin can cause acne as well as white spots called Milia. They can appear on face, neck, hands generally first two weeks of baby's life. Doctors advice using a mild soap and keeping the skin moisturized.
Extreme climate can be harsh on baby's skin. The skin reacts to dry cold winds in form of dry and scaly patches which become red and itchy. Extreme summers can cause rashes due to sweat. The only way to prevent such problems is to keep baby indoors, warm and hydrated in winter and assure baby wears soft and loose cotton clothing in summers.
Many of us have noticed flaky patches that appear on new born baby's scalp. Those look like thick yellow secretions. They are known as cradle crap. They are not itchy or painful and heal on their own.
As baby grows, he is introduced to new foods. This is also the time when food allergies began to get recognized. Many times body reacts to an allergen through skin rashes. These are called Hives and may occur any time in child's life. Avoidance of allergens is the most effective way to deal with food allergies.
A baby needs constant care and supervision. Parents knowledge greatly help in prevention and management of such issues. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor and ask a free question.
Hello doctor i'm planning for a baby, my period was 1 to 5, my doc told me to intercourse from 12 to 19, now my doubt is that how I come to know that egg got form, exactly I don't know what word to use but I hope you can understand. Please reply me to good opinion. Thank you.
A little more about Weaning:-
Weaning can be defined as a process where there is a gradual transition from an infant's diet to a fully grown adults diet. Weaning is considered a period of complementary feeds, which helps an infant to establish a better connection with food. Weaning can also be considered as a process of developing infants taste buds. Weaning should always be introduced after 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding (from birth to 6 months).
Since the entire process of weaning takes a lot of patience and perseverance, mothers are expected to be creative to bring the best introductions in her child's menu. It is more of a trial method for the new mum, as it helps her govern a basic taste of her tiny tot.
Below are some points which can benefit both the new mum and the baby towards effective weaning.
Points to be kept in mind for a fruitful weaning:-
- Feed only supple or soft foods:- To avoid the potential risk of choking, which can be common with the foods like apple, grapes, nuts, popcorns, The rule here to follow is to make sure that the food fed, should be soft enough to get mashed between the finger and the thumb. It becomes very important to go choke free. One can conveniently start with blends.
- Offer purees and nutrient dense meals:- Weaning should be a gradual and relishing process and purees play a vital role in resetting the overall process since they are loaded with important nutrients and are also easy to digest, they can be an ideal meal to begin for the growing infant.
- Diversify the baby's prospect as a part of growing:- Babies like to see the world as a process of constant change and learning. Including wide varieties of mild herbs like basil, turmeric in his daily weaning diet, will help in developing a stronger immune response.
- Discourage the use of salt, sugar and honey all together:- Do not encourage the use of salt and sugar till the baby turns one. They can prove to be very heavy on the baby's tiny developing system, without contributing much on a nutritional front.
- Go slow and enjoy the overall process :-Considering this period as a time of bonding with your baby, by doing so you will be able to help your baby attain a healthy, positive and fun loving rapport with the new mum and the food, which will last with the baby for rest of his life. By any sort of force feeding involved, baby can get rebellious and might never want to have food at all.
- Encourage self-feeding:- By encouraging it, the baby will eventually learn the process of self-feeding. Self-feeding will help the baby to have a better grip over fine motor grip and also help him be more independent. Self-feeding should be monitored under vigilance and allow baby learn self-feeding by himself, in spite of some futile attempts.
Bottom line/Conclusion:-
Weaning should be a gradual, happy and a positive process, which should be initially done at a turtle pace. It should evolve as a learning process for both mother and the baby since that will help them to establish a better understanding and connection with the food habits. Weaning can sum up to the benefit of new mum by attaining a better understanding towards baby's food preferences.

Drinking in teenage years linked to memory problems and other health issues in later life.
- Binge drinking during teenage years could lead to thinning of certain areas of the brain causing problems with memory and other serious health implications later in life suggests a study.
- As per a recent study conducted by the oregon state university in the us, binge drinking is linked to shrinking of certain areas of the brain that are associated with memory, attention and language in teenagers. This, in turn, could lead to increased risk of developing alcohol use disorder later on in life.
- The researchers studied six parameters to determine the hazardous impact of heavy drinking on the brain in early years. These include response inhibition, working memory, verbal learning and memory, decision making and reward processing, alcohol cue reactivity, and socio-cognitive/socio-emotional processing,
- Teenage is a period where the brain is still undergoing biological and psychological behaviour development.
- Considering the fact that more and more teenagers are involved in binge drinking and heavy drinking, understanding the effects of consuming large quantities of alcohol on neural development and the impact on cognitive skills is very important.
- Binge or heavy episodic drinking is defined as four or more standard drinks within a two-hour drinking session for females and five or more drinks for males.
- As per the study, binge drinking among young people is associated with a thinning or reduction of areas of the brain that are known to play a key role in memory, attention, language, awareness and consciousness.
- This type of brain alteration in young life could lead to increased risk of alcohol use disorder in later years of life.
Hi. I have delivered baby boy 50days before as premature baby. He was in nicu for 30days. And reached home. He is. Not getting milk directly from my breast since he has low birth weight. I am expressing through. Pump.and giving to him. Last two weeks my supply. Was very low. I had lactare tablets. And lactonic granules. But no improvement in supply. Pls suggest.
I have 2 month baby. While feeding. My breast got cut (wounded) on one side. What I should do now please help me. How to feed baby when it pains.
My baby is 6 months old and is suffering from chronic constipation from last two months. In start we tried natural remedies like cotton insertion and sugar water but see no improvement. At last we visited his paediatrician and he advised to give him Glycerine suppository for 3 days and after that to continue adult PICLIN Laxative 6 ml per day (3 ml twice) to cure his constipation. So, we are giving him above medication from his 6th month start and now he passes stool after 2 or 3 days with less difficulty. We tried stopping giving him PICLIN after his 6th month completion but after that baby can't poop and also decreases his feed intake. His current weight is 6.1 KG and he is teething as well. Regarding his diet, he is completely on breast feed and we have started giving him yellow dalpani from last one month. We have tried 20-25 ml of water intake and 2 tablespoon of pear puree from last 3 days but it does not help. To continue on PICLIN we have some worries and doubts as follows: 1. Is it safe to give PICLIN (Adults) 6 ml daily to baby of just 6 months and any side effects that it can cause when baby grows? 2. For how much time we should continue giving him above medicine? 3. What can be the reason of his severe constipation? 4. Is there any natural remedy to cure his constipation rather then giving him medications? 5. Any other suggestion/medication to cure his constipation? 6. Is glycerine suppository is better than PICLIN? It would be very helpful for any of suggestions.
Know how Homeopathy helps to manage Childhood diseases
During the first few years of life, it's vital to meet nutritional needs in order to ensure proper growth and also to establish a lifelong habit of healthy eating.
Eating a meal should be both a healthy and enjoyable occasion- a fact that many parents overlook when planning a meal for their growing children. Instead of a fast meal (especially one short in nutritional value) that family members eat at different hours, mealtimes should promote family togetherness whenever possible. If mealtime is a pleasant event, children may practice healthful eating habits in later life.
- Do set a good example for your child to copy. Share mealtimes and eat the same healthy food.
- Do discourage snacking on sweets and fatty food. Keep plenty of healthy foods, such as fruits, raw vegetables, low-fat crackers, and yogurt, around for children to eat between meals.
- Do allow children to follow their natural appetites when deciding how much to eat.
- Do encourage children to enjoy fruits and vegetables by giving them a variety from an early age.
- Don't give slim or 1-percent fat milk to children under the age of 5 unless your doctor prescribes it; at this stage, children need the extra calories in whole milk.
- Do ask children to help prepare meals. If parents rely mostly on convenience foods, children may not learn to enjoy cooking.
- Don't add unnecessary sugar to drinks and foods.
- Don't accustom children to extra salt by adding it to food placing the shaker on table.
- Doon't give whole nuts to children under the age of 5, who may choke on them. Peanut butter and chopped nuts are fine as long as the child is not allergic to them.
- Don't force children to eat more than they want.
- Don't use food as a bribe.
- Don't make children guilty about eating any type of food.
Toothpicks can be an alternative to use for flossing if dental floss is not available. Remember not to be too harsh while using it.

A class action lawsuit is a particular kind of litigation, used when a large number of people have the same problem with a company's product or activities. Many companies have had class action lawsuits filed against them, including Apple Computer, Farmers Insurance, Burger King, LP Siding, Microsoft, and Coppertone. Class action lawsuits are also filed against companies for product defects that could potentially hurt anyone buying their products. Asbestos and tobacco class action claims are examples, as are the drug class action cases against the manufacturers of Accutane, Celebrex, Ephedra, Vioxx, and Paxil. Class action attorneys can discuss the pros and cons of a class action lawsuit with you if you think one may be appropriate. Class action lawyers are usually paid on contingency, which means they receive a percentage of the money paid if you win the lawsuit.

Racket from news helicopters overhead. I hope the injured man will be ok. The SUV looked enormous on TV news - for God's sake, please be responsible when driving these mammoth vehicles. Sounds like this guy had little awareness of his responsibility - just didn't care for others at all.

Walked by and saw the house about an hour ago. It was to be torn down next week and looked as if it needed to be. The fire department was there - they had smashed in all the windows and such to build reinforcements.
PA Utilities were there shutting off power.
Hoping the mover who got hit will be OK.
So glad the family was in the back of the house when it happened.

The man injured I hear is ok and is at Stanford, pretty banged up and bruised but should be fine a fireman said at the scene. The driver must have been driving fast to do that, it's a driveway off of Boyce so I can't figure out how he got that kind of speed. Thank god there were no kids out front!

Our firefighters are to be commended for extracting the injured and securing the house. Too often I take these guys for granted, but they really shined in their response today!
Amazingly after this response, a number of them turned out to present our sister city delegation from Oaxaca with surplus rugged computers that will find their way to use in Oaxaca's fire department.

Regarding media copters...you would have thought it was a military action. I believe there were 4 choppers. Just ridiculous!

The helicopters were overhead, whacking up a huge racket, for about 90 minutes. They were well below the noise abatement floor for aircraft over Palo Alto. If this had been a police action, I would have been fine with the presence of the helicopters, but why did news outlets have to sit there for so long?
Channel 2's helicopter was overhead for the longest time. Three others showed up, one by one, after the Channel 2 copter had been disrupting the neighborhood for almost an hour. Incredibly unnecessary.

The pedestrian is not OK. He was run over by the car and has head injuries and broken bones. He was not killed, thank god, but he faces a painful and difficult recovery. He was standing in the front yard when he was hit and did not deserve this.
Please pray for the victim, who is far more important than a couple of helicopters that are long gone.

Why did this require two helicopters hovering overhead for what seemed like hours?

>> "Maybe need to take away drivers license at an earlier age. Happy hour started early." <<
I think the problem was the driver's level of inebriation, not his somewhat advanced age. Your two sentences are non sequiturs.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Apr 3, 2013 at 11:30 am
Why were the helicopters hovering for hours?
Because it was a slow news day and the local TV affiliates were using live feeds during their various broadcasts. It was ludicrous, considering the tree canopy precluded a view of much of anything but tree canopy.

Using words like "elderly" to describe anyone -- especially someone in his 70s who is young enough to still be active and employed -- seems anachronistic. People are living longer, and there are many in their 70s -- including my parents-in-law -- who have parents in their 90s.
Attaching a pejorative label to someone and using that as an excuse to diminish their individuality -- "the elderly can't drive" -- is plain bigotry. We're all getting older, and may even live long enough to regret the negative stereotypes associated with anyone over 55 or so. There are plenty of 70-somethings who are fine drivers and don't drink & drive.

Need to seriously take away the elderly man's license for a while.
The mover will have a long recovery.

The man was drunk, the cops tested him and he failed. He is in jail where he belongs. His drunkenness put someone in the hospital, and I hope the book is thrown at him, AFTER he pays all of his victim's medical bills!

How sad that there are more comments here than on the thread about the preschooler beaten by gang members. Gee, I wonder why?

Check the thread about the preschooler's beating. It was quickly closed off to anyone but registered posters.

St. Louis • In their quest for the next big drug discovery, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly teaming up with some of the nation's top universities, recruiting campus scientists as partners and offering schools multimillion-dollar deals to work on experimental drugs in development.
Big Pharma has long sought to profit from academia's innovations in more limited arrangements. Now the two sides are often joining forces as equals. But the drug makers' aggressive pursuit of university research has drawn the ire of academic purists who question whether the partnerships put profits ahead of, or on equal footing with, science for science's sake.
"What it does is to blur the boundaries between academic medical centers and investor-owned companies," said Marcia Angell, former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine and a prominent critic of the pharmaceutical industry's new coziness with major campuses.
Pfizer Inc., Astra Zeneca PLC and Eli Lilly and Co. are among the major international drug companies signing agreements with schools such as New York University, Harvard and the University of California at San Francisco.
Driving the change is the expiration of patents for such lucrative name-brand drugs as Seroquel, Lipitor and Protonix, which industry observers say accounted for nearly $36 billion in U.S. sales in 2011 and 2012. More than ever, drug makers need new revenue to replace diminished profits from drugs that now have generic rivals.
"There's a real need on Big Pharma to be innovative in how it fills its pipeline," said Van Ellis, a Washington-based life-sciences lawyer and partner with the Morrison & Foerster firm. "And academia is incredibly concerned with how to support research."
A 2011 research report by the Biotechnology Industry Organization found that just 1 in 10 prospective drugs in clinical trials from late 2003 through 2010 ultimately received approval from the federal Food and Drug Administration, a testament to the low success rates of drugs still in the experimental phase. Previous reports showed an approval rate of 1 in 5 or 1 in 6.
One of the earliest campus collaborations was announced in 2010 between Washington University in St. Louis and Pfizer, which signed a five-year, $22.5 million deal to identify new uses for hundreds of drug compounds for which research had stalled during or on the verge of clinical trials.
At the time, Larry Shapiro, dean of the university's medical school, expressed his hope that the project would yield "many discoveries."
But Washington University's experience illustrates some of the industry's challenges. Scarcely two years later, Pfizer shut down the St. Louis lab to focus on partnerships at other schools.
A Washington University spokeswoman referred questions about that decision to the drug maker, which said in a statement the decision was a joint one that "evolved to reflect the mutual needs and strengths of both organizations."
Pfizer, based in New York, is continuing to fund its five initial research projects with the university, but has higher hopes for its five-year, $85 million partnership with the University of California at San Francisco, where two dozen Pfizer scientists are practically working side-by-side with their university counterparts in a 20,000-square-foot building on the school's sprawling Mission Bay campus.
Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Jeffrey Bluestone, whose own research has focused on the body's immune response at the molecular level, said the university's Center for Therapeutic Innovation creates an open network of researchers that goes beyond the narrow focus on specific projects initially cultivated in campus labs on behalf of drug manufacturers.
"There was an opportunity to try to think differently about the relationship between industry and academia," he said. "Typically, industry partnerships had been at arms-length, and often at great distances, where you would try to fit a [university]research project in with your [full-time] job you had with the company."
The new collaborations allow scientists to spend more time on research and less on paperwork, Bluestone added.
"With the idea that we do this together, we don't have to worry about intellectual property and tech transfer and all that really early on," he said. "We can build in milestones and timelines that allow us to really make decisions along the way. … It's really a different model."
Those arguments don't mollify Angell, who is now a senior lecturer at Harvard Medical School's Division of Medical Ethics.
Academic medical centers and teaching hospitals "have particular missions that justify their tax-exempt status," Angell said. "They're supposed to educate the next generation of doctors. They're supposed to be doing cutting-edge research, not just research on drugs … and they're supposed to be taking care of the sickest and neediest people in society."
That public-service mission is "quite different from the mission of investor-owned companies. They're supposed to maximize profits."
In addition to its efforts in St. Louis and San Francisco, Pfizer has entered into similar research partnerships with the University of California at San Diego, Boston University, Harvard, Tufts, the University of Massachusetts and seven academic medical centers in New York City.
Neither Pfizer's competitors nor the university partners are standing idle.
Harvard also has a research deal with French manufacturer Sanofi-Aventis and Belgian drug maker UCB. The Yale School of Medicine has a multiyear cancer research collaboration with Gilead Sciences Inc., a California company that sells HIV treatments such as Atripla and Truvada. And the University of Pennsylvania has an umbrella agreement with Astra Zeneca PLC, whose U.S. headquarters are just down the road in Delaware.
Bluestone, a former Pfizer advisory board member, is aware of both the promise and the pitfalls of these partnerships. He called the truncated St. Louis effort "a great project" that fell victim to a shift in corporate priorities after Pfizer's 2009 purchase of rival Wyeth for $68 billion.
"We've gone into this thing with our eyes wide open," he said. "Some [experiments] may work, some may not. Some may disappear next year." Drugmaker deals with elite schools
Pfizer • Drugmaker has deals with the following schools: Washington University (St. Louis), University of California at San Francisco, University of California at San Diego, Boston University, Harvard, Tufts, the University of Massachusetts and seven academic medical centers in New York City.
Sanofi-Aventis • Harvard has a research deal with the French manufacturer.
UCB • Harvard also has a research deal with the Belgian drugmaker.

I wrote a letter to the town board, and within two months my wall whas there.
I wrote a letter to the town board, and within two months my wall whas there.
Just that i got arrested but that i want to continue my hobby on a legal way
what you do is one night you bomb the shit out of a store then the next day go to the store owner and tell them you have a way to get rid of the graffiti problem by putting up a mural then the "graffiti kids" wont paint over the mural out of respect as long as its a graffiti mural that is. if that doesnt work you cna always sell your soul to the devil im sure he can help
where i live alot of the towns have skate parks that were put there by the local government and if you go into the town office and find out who is in control of it and ask their permission usually they will let you bomb the shit out of the skate park... also towns have been known to allow writers to go at the courts and do shit on the ground to cover up the ugly squiggles people do... if you take sketches of work you'd like to put up some towns will let you do it if it will look nice on like public restrooms just as long as they know it isnt crime related and is more artsy that someones shitty handstyle thats already their...
If u need to ask ur probly not good enough. Lol no but for real its just asking permission. My boy owns a studio we rocked that joint in and out. Also a lot of bars that host Dj events and shit, bring em some flicks or a blackbook u would be suprised who will let u paint their shit these days. . . .
the best way to get a legal wall is:
quit wasting your time posting on message boards
quit painting graffiti and jeopardizing your future
study hard
get a good job
purchase commercial property
resume graffiti
the best places to scope out for legal walls that I've found to be succsessful are the likes of:
Tattoo Shops, Head Shops, Skate Shops, Music Shops/Studios
another good idea is if you have anyone that owns a buisiness that your pretty closely affiliated with(family, freinds, etc), sometimes that works out nicely. Another safe bet I've done before if you find a building with a lot of graff that isnt buffed a bit higher quality shit it wouldnt hurt to ask somone there. Dosen't always work out, but if you go about things the correct way usually things will come out decent and to your liking
Style: Peice and Handstyle(COLOR, Prefereabley with a a good amoung of Red)
Word(s): for the Peice: "D-RAINE" for the Handstyle "CITY OF RED"
ive never done a legal wall, but if i were to do one i would show the owner a sketch and convince them that it would atract more customers because the building would be more appealing
How do i gat a legal wall. Im tierd of the fuckin Cops.
heres a thought. why dont u ask them.
I tried so fucking hard to get one in my city,
I sent letters to the most publicly outspoken council member for murals an pro graff shit,asking what would be needed to get one an he pretty much said "I dont give a shit an am going to now evade the question like a bitch" an proceeded to ignore me.
these muthafuckers want graff to go away but they arent willing to put in any effort but throwing the homies in juvi or jail//
My family's tax dollars pay for the removal just as much as the next family's.. People are fucking stupid.. they need to learn to mind their own business. One day one of these old arrogant motherfuckers is gonna yell at the wrong guy and get fucked up..
Are taxes are paying for Blackwater mercenaries anyways so who gives a fuck about some painting//
one tip is you should be an older cat.. it will probably be impossible for you 12-13 year olds to get a legal unless you kno the person or youre very talented.. what person is gunna let some little kid go tag up their wall?? if your older they have more trust in you and see that your actually serious about your art career..
you guys have any tips on painting in peoples room cause this girl wants me to paint in her room what should i do for the smell of paint?
pm me orr just put it on here thankss
hmmmm your gonna paint her walls with semen huh? well i suggest just lighting an incense or acigarette afterwords and youll be fine
my job is paionting rooms
i use mtn 94 smells delitful
ironlak is ok make sure you use a fan or the AC is on max
open a window
DONT USE INK for details cause they smell like SHIT
dont fill with cans use buckets of paint

Thoughts On Gender-Neutral Speech
As I was doing my AP Psychology homework about the psychology of language recently, I came across some interesting studies about the effect of using gender-neutral speech.
Janet Hyde, a professor of psychology and women's studies at University of Wisconsin – Madison, conducted a study in 1984 where she asked children to finish stories for which she gave them a first line, like "When a kid goes to school, ___ often feels excited on the first day." When Dr. Hyde used the word he in the blank, almost all of the kids' stories were about boys. When she used he or she, about a third of the stories were about girls. This effect is not only present in children, but has also been seen in …

A large LCD screen below the dial digitally displays the alarm settings. When an alarm goes off, the watch pulses with six two-second vibrations that are vigorous enough to rouse the wearer, yet devoid of any beeping or sounds that can annoy others nearby. The splash-safe watch has a scratch-resistant crystal and accurate quartz movement. Black leather band fits wrists 6 1/2" to 9". Case 1 3/4" L x 1 1/8" W x 1/2" D. (2 1/4 oz.)

Vibration Alarm dress watch
By Sue
from Toledo, Ohio
This is, definitely, a man-sized watch. However, it works. I had to get used to being awakened by the 'buzz' unstead of some high-pitched alarm, but that is one refreshing 'sound' to wake up to. I like that fact that the alarm turns itself off after 6 vibrations. I found the instructions somewhat challenging, however, they cover the operations of the time and alarm and nothing more. If I have a concern, I have to call the company. Anyway, my husband has stopped complaining about having to be awakened when it is time for me to get up! That is refreshing, too! It would be great if I could replace the band with one that is more my size, but, I'm not complaining.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Vibration Alarm Dress Watch
By Mike

Watch is fine looking. It is very difficult to set alarm. Takes about 5 steps. Alarm does not pulsate long enough.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
fantastic product
By ddlv2trvl

Bought this because my husband needs 4 reminders daily to take his meds. Works beautifully and silently (vibrates) Had tried several other products and this is the best.

I love this watch!
By Buzz me
from Portland, OR
Daily use keeps me on track
Good but hard to setup.
By Chaparro
from Miami, FL
This is a great product I bought for my dad. Only thing is that setting up the alarms is challenging but once you get it done, it works perfectly.Wish it had an alarm sound too but the vibration portion is what we needed.
Excellent performance; Poor instructions
By Parkinsons Patient
from Longwood, FL
Fits all requirements: silent alarms for five times a day for medications, stylish (dress vs. sports; analog vs. digital) and not too large with leather band. Instructions should be improved--after my wife and I tried three times each unsuccessfully to set alarm times, we took it to a watch repair tech at our local jeweler and it took him two days of trying on and off. It is now set on my needed schedule. Very pleased with the watch once it was programmed.

Will Dolly Parton Might Adopt The Dog Found At Glastonbury?
Listen to Dolly Parton Radio on iHeartRadio
Dolly Parton might end up with more than just memories from her appearance at Britain's recent Glastonbury festival.
The UK's Guardian says country legend has agreed to adopt a dog that was found by crews cleaning up after the event. The small white lurcher was named Dolly in honor of Parton, and taken to a local animal shelter.
Parton says after she learned about the dog she had her manager contact the shelter to make sure "Dolly" was "being treated and cared for properly." The singer has also promised to bring the dog back to the U.S. "if nobody claims her within a reasonable amount of time."
Heard about the abandoned dog at @GlastoFest? If nobody claims her, I'll take her home to America! Ain't she cute :) pic.twitter.com/mBZ41NUS9V
— Dolly Parton (@DollyParton) July 7, 2014
Parton is currently on tour in Europe. She'll wrap up the trek with an appearance at a festival in Switzerland on July 14th. Her next performance is set for Copenhagen, Denmark on Tuesday.

Virtuoso David Kim opens USC Symphony season
By Frenche Brewer, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3691
David Kim, concert master of the Philadelphia Orchestra, will be the guest artist for the opening season concert of the USC Symphony Orchestra.
The USC Symphony is directed by Maestro Donald Portnoy. The concert is set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, in the Koger Center for the Arts. Kim will perform Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, op. 26. The concert program also includes Brahm's Symphony No. 4 in E minor, op. 98.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, reviewing a performance by Kim, wrote "The violinist has a robust sound that sings. He knows how to be expansive without distortion of sound."
Kim started playing the violin at age 3, and studied with the famed pedagogue Dorothy DeLay at age 8. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees from The Juilliard School.
In 1986, he was the only American violinist to win a prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow.
Kim was founder and artistic director of the Kingston Chamber Music Festival at the University of Rhode Island. He appears as soloist each season with The Philadelphia Orchestra, one of the world's leading orchestras. He also performs with numerous orchestras around the world.
Kim has performed with many renowned conductors, including Kazuyoshi Akiyama, Myung Whun Chung, Christoph von Dohnanyi, Charles Dutoit, Christoph Eschenbach, Rafael Frubeck de Burgos, Vladimir Jurowski, Peter Oundjian and Wolfgang Sawallisch.
Symphony tickets are$25 for adults; $20 for senior citizens, USC faculty and staff; and $8 for students. Season tickets are available by calling the Koger box office, 803-251-2222.

White House insider Card to speak at engineering dinner
Andrew Card, former White House chief of staff in the George W. Bush Administration, will be the featured guest speaker when the College of Engineering and Computing celebrates its 100th anniversary with a dinner at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at The Zone at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Andrew Card
Card received a bachelor's degree in civil engineering in 1971. A native of Holbrook, Mass., he began his career in politics when he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1975. He was a special assistant to President Ronald Reagan and also was the U.S. Secretary of Transportation in President George H.W. Bush's administration.
The University of South Carolina awarded Card an honorary doctorate of public service in 1999.
South Carolina has a rich tradition in educating engineers for the state and nation. Engineering classes were offered to students in their senior year at Carolina in 1848. When South Carolina College became the University of South Carolina in 1865, classes in engineering, agriculture, law and medicine were taught.
Engineering as an academic discipline grew over the years, and the School of Engineering was created in 1909. Civil engineer F. Horton Colcock was named dean. Classes were held in Davis College and the New Science Building, now known as Barnwell.

Bruce Springsteen's new album tops UK chart
Listen to Bruce Springsteen on iHeartRadio
Bruce Springsteen's new album is being embraced across the Atlantic.
High Hopes is debuting at number one on the UK's Official Albums Chart to become his tenth career chart-topper in Britain. It's also put Springsteen at number four on the list of artists with the most UK number one albums. He shares the rank with the Rolling Stones and U2. The Beatles lead the list with 15. Madonna follows with 12, while Elvis Presley and Robbie Williams are in third place with eleven number one albums each.
Springsteen is also on track to top the chart in the U.S. Billboard.com says the estimated first-week sales total for High Hopes is 95,000, which should be enough for the album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200. The official sales figure will be revealed on Wednesday, along with the new chart.

Conservatives distorted Geneva Conventions to defend Gonzales
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
Following White House Counsel Alberto R. Gonzales's January 6 Senate confirmation hearings, conservatives in the media used a series of false claims to defend the attorney general nominee's legal advice to President Bush on whether the Geneva Conventions apply to Taliban and Al Qaeda detainees. Conservatives have repeatedly claimed that the Geneva Conventions apply only to bona fide prisoners of war -- that is, uniformed soldiers fighting for a conventional army. In fact, though the Third Geneva Convention (GCIII) defines a category of detainees called "prisoners of war" (POWs) and lays out specific protections for them, the Fourth Geneva Convention ("Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War," GCIV) outlines separate protections for civilians. As Media Matters for America has documented, legal experts have argued that so-called "unlawful enemy combatants" are indeed entitled to protections under GCIV, albeit more limited ones than those reserved for POWs.
On the January 6 edition of FOX News' The O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly and his guest, National Review editor Rich Lowry, agreed that the Geneva Conventions apply only to fighters "in uniform," who are "fighting for a nation":
LOWRY: The Geneva Conventions are mid-20th century documents. They were forged with World War II in mind. The idea is that you have, you know, conventional armies clashing together. And the people who are making up that armies -- those armies are conscripts, who haven't really done anything wrong. They're just sort of in the wrong place at the wrong time. They're decent, honorable --
O'REILLY: They're in uniforms. They're fighting for a nation.
LOWRY: Right. And when you capture them, you give them [1960s TV show] Hogan's Heroes kind of treatment.
O'REILLY: Yes, because that's what we want.
LOWRY: Right, and you give them sports fields. And you give them --
O'REILLY: And the difference is what?
LOWRY: The difference is these guys are not the members of the conventional army as envisioned in the Geneva Convention. They are the members of a transnational murder gang that has no respect for any of the laws of warfare.
Media Matters has previously noted O'Reilly repeating this falsehood about the Geneva Conventions.
On the January 6 edition of FOX News' Special Report with Brit Hume, Roll Call executive editor and FOX News contributor Morton M. Kondracke reiterated the "important point" that Gonzales made in his Senate confirmation hearings earlier that day regarding the Geneva Conventions, describing it as a rebuttal "against what the Democrats were trying to say":
KONDRACKE: But the most important point I think he made against what the Democrats were trying to say, is that strict adherence to the Geneva Convention does not apply to Al Qaeda. I mean, after all, what the Geneva Convention says is that you can't interrogate a prisoner of war who's a military person dressed in a uniform. You can't interrogate him.
Moments later, Weekly Standard executive editor and FOX News contributor Fred Barnes concurred:
BARNES: The Geneva Convention does apply ... in Iraq -- to those people in prison there during the war in Iraq -- but not to, as Mort said, Al Qaeda or Taliban people who are held in Guantánamo [Bay, Cuba] or elsewhere. It doesn't apply. Clearly doesn't apply to them. They don't qualify on any of the grounds for being covered by the Geneva Convention.
On the January 6 edition of CNN's Crossfire, departing co-host Tucker Carlson asked Representative Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH) if he was "aware" that "captured terrorists who are not members of any army" are not protected by the Geneva Conventions:
CARLSON: Are you suggesting that captured terrorists, who are members not of an army -- they're not employees of any state, they're simply independent actors bent on killing civilians -- are they protected by the Geneva Convention? ... The Geneva Convention was not, does not -- was not written to apply to actors like those, you're aware of that?
On January 25, 2002, Gonzales advised Bush to uphold his earlier decision to deny GCIII protections to suspected terrorists captured in Afghanistan, despite the State Department's request that the president reconsider his decision. But the Justice Department memo forming the basis of Gonzales's advice did not specifically address GCIV.
The Justice Department analysis did recognize, however, that "common Article 3" -- so called because the same text appears as Article 3 in all four conventions -- does appear to grant "enemy combatants" certain limited protections. But the Justice Department employed a highly controversial legal argument to conclude that Taliban and Al Qaeda detainees don't deserve even the limited protections of common Article 3. That provision forbids, among other things, "Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture." Common Article 3 applies specifically to "armed conflict not of an international character occurring in the territory of one of the High Contracting Parties," but according to the department's analysis, this provision refers only to civil wars, not conflicts between a state, e.g., the United States, and a transnational group, e.g., Al Qaeda. But this analysis appears dubious since Afghanistan is one of the "High Contracting Parties" to the Conventions.
Bush later amended his original decision, ordering that GCIII would apply to Taliban detainees, but not to Al Qaeda members.
Though a full Justice Department opinion on the applicability of GCIV to "unlawful combatants" has not been made public, a February 2, 2002, State Department legal analysis mentions that "The Department of Justice has opined that the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilians in Time of War (Fourth Geneva Convention) does not apply" [p. 4]. The analysis does not elaborate on the Justice Department's legal reasoning for this determination.
