Hi everyone, it's LollyPip, back for more recapping fun with Witch's Romance. I'm loving this show so much and I'm very excited to get a chance to recap it with odilettante. I hope you have as much fun with this show as I know we will!
A lot happens in this episode, on the career front as well as in our leading couple's relationship. Dong-ha's feelings seem to be shifting from responsibility towards Ji-yeon to actual caring, and while her feelings are still a bit more hidden, she's not immune to his insightful and caring nature. But most importantly their friendship is growing stronger, and I could watch them just drink wine and talk together for hours.
We revisit Ji-yeon's memories of her ex-fiance's proposal. She wakes up in the hospital and thinks she sees Shi-hoon standing over her, but it's Dong-ha looking adorably worried. When she wakes up enough to recognize him, he's relieved enough to fuss at her for going off without him and not answering his calls.
Dong-ha tells Ji-yeon that she has a slight concussion from the knock to her head, and she goes unconscious again, making him panic a bit. A nurse tells him it's just the sedatives they gave her and that they'll give her a CT scan when she wakes, and then Ji-yeon can go home.
The Trouble Maker Trio plus Young-sik come running into the ER, but they freak out because the blanket is pulled up to look like the person in the bed has died. They wail and cry and shake the "body" until it sits up, and it's the shaman, HAHA.
The shaman spits and curses at them (which I'm starting to think is just her way of saying hello), and explains that a light bulb fell on her head. She threatens to do damage to the part-timer who let this happen, then throws the blanket back over her head and lays there hissing to herself. I love her.
Dong-ha returns after getting his arm looked at and the Trouble Maker Trio accost him with questions about Ji-yeon's condition. Considering that they were just loudly mourning her supposed "passing," they seem awfully disappointed that she's fine and can go home (and back to work) soon.
They tell Dong-ha that Ji-yeon isn't in the ER anymore, and he runs all the way back to her house to find her. Poor boy, the age gap won't matter for long because he's going to prematurely age with all this running around after Ji-yeon!
Dong-ha finds her sitting on the floor in the middle of her destroyed apartment, and starts to fuss again. She doesn't answer, and just sits there holding the photo of the polar bear while her fingers bleed from the broken glass. She finally looks up at him with tears in her eyes, which immediately deflates his anger.
Dong-ha notices a black jacket in the middle of the mess and remembers tearing it off the intruder during their scuffle. He picks it up and finds a business card in the pocket for an employee of Blue Eye Entertainment, Kim Jeong-do's management company.
He takes Ji-yeon to his place and bandages her cut fingers while chiding her for touching broken glass, clucking like a mother hen. She quips that she chose a good assistant and they bicker over whether she actually chose him, and that she'll just fire him if he keeps sassing her.
Dong-ha asks where she went earlier when she wasn't answering her phone, and she admits she went to see Kim Jeong-do. She tells Dong-ha that Jeong-do promised to drop the lawsuit if she stops the article. Dong-ha asks what Ji-yeon plans to do, and her face sets in resolve as she says she'll take this to the end.
Dong-ha tells her that he's taking her back to the hospital for the CT scan she still needs. He goes into the bathroom to doctor his own wound, and when he returns Ji-yeon has fallen asleep on the couch, still holding the polar bear picture. He takes it from her and reads the message "would you marry me" written on the back, only now realizing that the story she told him about the woman who was left at the altar was Ji-yeon herself.
In the morning, Ji-yeon wakes up still on Dong-ha's couch, though she's alone. She finds a note from him to stay where she is until he comes back, along with breakfast.
Dong-ha has gone to confront the man whose business card he found in the intruder's jacket. He denies everything but Dong-ha isn't buying it, listing all the terrible things the man has done to Ji-yeon. The Blue Eye employee shoots back a question: Is Ji-yeon making up lies about Kim Jeong-do? After all, writing lies is what she does for a living.
Dong-ha lunges across the table and grabs the man by his shirt, so furious he can barely speak. He tells the man that he'd better not come near Ji-yeon again or else, but the man doesn't look too intimidated as Dong-ha storms out.
Na-rae helps Ji-yeon clean her apartment and invites her to stay with her and her husband for a while, but Ji-yeon declines. Dong-ha barges in, upset that Ji-yeon has again gone off without telling him, after he instructed her to stay at his place.
Ji-yeon asks why he's so upset (maybe because he liiikes you) but Na-rae interrupts before he can formulate an answer. She immediately susses out that this is the "hoobae" that Ji-yeon told her she stayed with last night, and tells him that she invited Ji-yeon to her house but she insists on staying with him. Na-rae makes a fantastic wingman.
Dong-ha insists on taking her back to his place, since he's tired of her getting into trouble on her own. She follows him while accusing him of mutiny against his superior, but he's not intimidated. He gives her back her polar bear picture, shyly explaining that he took it from her so she wouldn't crumple it in her sleep, since it seemed important to her.
Ji-yeon asks if he saw the proposal on the back and he admits that he did. She sighs that the picture isn't important, but Dong-ha knows that it's the reason she left the hospital. Ji-yeon tells him that it was a long time ago and she should get rid of it, but he says that remembering a precious person isn't a bad thing.
He changes the subject and brightly says that it's his first day at his new job, and he shouldn't be late. At the office, Eun Chae brings Ji-yeon some flowers and words of encouragement, but Ji-yeon just tells her that if she has time for this, she should be working instead.
Eun-chae dejectedly takes her flowers away, but Dong-ha stops her and asks for the flowers loudly and pointedly while shooting eye-daggers at Ji-yeon. He keeps glaring while making loud comments about how pretty the flowers are, obviously trying to teach Ji-yeon a lesson about being a nice person, but she just ignores him.
There's a meeting of the minds between Ji-yeon, Dong-ha, and Young-sik to discuss the business card that Dong-ha found and his conversation with the card owner. Unfortunately a business card doesn't prove anything, but there's a fundraiser in a few days and Ji-yeon thinks that Jeong-do may announce his political candidacy then.
Ji-yeon decides that the fundraiser is their D-Day, but Dong-ha wants to find some evidence before then. The Trouble Maker Trio wanders in to dump some negativity on their theories, but Ji-yeon isn't deterred.
The two teams face off, and Team Leader Byul declares that if she gets any breaking news on Kim Jeong-do, he'll wear Superman tights to work. But if she doesn't, Ji-yeon has to cosplay a girl's idol group. Dong-ha points out that it will be fun for her even if she loses, since she dances in her apartment every night anyway. PFFT.
Soo-chul is home from his trip, and has brought a ladyfriend with him. But when she turns on his bedroom light she sees Ji-yeon's suitcase, jumps to the wrong conclusion, and dumps him. He calls Dong-ha to crow that he's finally rid of that girl thanks to the lingerie. Dong-ha tells him that the lingerie belongs to a friend, but Soo-chul just congratulates Dong-ha on his choice of women given the size of the bra. Can I slap him? Please?
Dong-ha nervously confesses who the things belong to, and Soo-chul isn't so happy anymore. He immediately asks if something is going on between them, and Dong-ha's denial is just a little too shrill to be believable.
Ji-yeon, Dong-ha, and Young-sik sit at Soo-chul's place and watch an interview given by Kim Jeong-do and his wife about the recent scandal. Soo-chul tries to sneak past them but Dong-ha stops him, remembering that his family owns the venue where Kim Jeong-do's fundraiser will be held, and Ji-yeon only has to crook a finger to terrify Soo-chul into helping them.
The team obtains Kim Jeong-do's DNA by having Soo-chul impersonate a crew member on his drama set and getting him to drink from a water bottle. He also secures an invitation to the fundraiser at his family's resort. But a wrench is thrown into their plans when they hear that Kim Jeong-do's mistress and daughter are leaving the country.
We see Soo-jung and her daughter get into a van and drive away, while Kim Jeong-do's lackey (the one Dong-ha met with) reports that they've left. But Soo-jung notices that they're not going towards the airport, and we see in the rear-view mirror that the driver is Soo-chul. He tells the pair that they'll just be making a quick detour first. When the car stops, Ji-yeon is there, waiting to talk to her sunbae.
And so, Dong-ha visits with daughter Yoon-ji while Ji-yeon and Soo-jung have their talk. He gives Yoon-ji a book, and tells her that she can have her mom read it to her on the plane. He offers to throw away her drink trash, and now they have the daughter's DNA too. Smart! Ji-yeon gives Soo-jung plane tickets for the next night, and asks her for just one day to give Ji-yeon a chance to reveal the truth.
Ji-yeon and her boys brainstorm over how to get the DNA test, since labs won't do it unless you're a parent. But it turns out that Dong-ha was a medical student, and can run the test himself.
Dong-ha and Soo-chul take Ji-yeon to get a dress for the fundraising event, and their dumbstruck faces when the pretty is revealed are priceless. Dong-ha ain't too shabby himself in his all-black suit, which Ji-yeon definitely notices.
At the fundraiser, there's an announcement about a "special presentation," and there's Dong-ha onstage. He gives a small speech, drawing a comparison between magicians and actors. Dong-ha plays the magician as Ji-yeon comes onstage, and she gets into a box and he covers her with a curtain. He calls Jeong-do onstage to assist, and it's obvious Jeong-do knows this is a Very Bad Idea but he can't refuse in front of an audience.
The two men pull back the curtain to reveal an empty box. Dong-ha invites Jeong-do to get in next. He does, and asks Dong-ha under his breath what's happening, but Dong-ha just tells him not to be nervous because his wife is watching.
Dong-ha puts the curtain down, and next invites Jeong-do's wife onstage. They each take a corner of the curtain and pull it back, and the box is empty again. Jeong-do is now in a room with Ji-yeon, who cuts right to the chase and tells him that she knows it was him who's been threatening her. Isn't he ashamed in front of his daughter? He denies having any daughter, but adds that it's a good thing they've left the country so nobody can prove it. Sleazebag.
But Ji-yeon has the upper hand because she has the DNA test results proving that Yoon-ji is Jeong-do's daughter. Jeong-do starts to lose his cool veneer and says that he'll never be brought down by a woman.
But just then there's a voice behind him, and it's Soo-jung. She's heard everything. She tells Ji-yeon that she'll do the interview, which makes Jeong-do panic so badly that he promises to get a divorce for her.
Which is just the moment when his wife enters the room. This is so satisfying. Soo-jung tells Jeong-do that if her daughter ever sees him again, even in a movie or on TV, she'll tell the world everything. His wife declares that he had better never let that woman be revealed. His career is over.
Dong-ha calmly tells Jeong-do that it's time to go back to the party. Soo-jung congratulates Ji-yeon on getting over her ex-fiance, and that Dong-ha seems like a good man (Dong-ha pretends not to hear but puffs up a bit, so cute).
Back at the party, Jeong-do takes the podium and announces that he has some health problems, and that he'll be halting his career to focus on treatment from now on.
After Yoon-ji and her mom leave, Dong-ha tells Ji-yeon that she did well today, and invites her out for a drink… Oops, but she stopped drinking because of her "fits," he teases.
Ji-yeon's mother calls to tell her that the dating service that she signed up Ji-yeon for has arranged a date for tonight. Dong-ha overhears and creeps closer to eavesdrop. Ji-yeon reminds her mother that she has a (fake) boyfriend, and Mom says that he's okay but he seems poor and dresses shabbily. Dong-ha's miffed reactions to all this are hilarious.
Ji-yeon's mom threatens to move in right this minute and nag her until she gets a husband if she doesn't go on this date tonight, so Ji-yeon agrees. She hangs up, and snaps at Dong-ha that he should have worn better shoes, ha.
Dong-ha says she's dressed way too nice for a blind date since it will probably just be some fat ajusshi, but he agrees to drive her. He drops her off but stays to watch her greet her date (cameo by Lee Jae-yoon), grumbling to himself that the guy probably stutters or something. Her date seems nice, and asks her out again, but she doesn't look very enthused.
Dong-ha pouts around the house waiting for Ji-yeon to get home, getting more and more antsy at how late she's staying out. She's actually at Na-rae's restaurant complaining about how awful her evening turned out.
Her date had answered a call from his grandmother during dinner, speaking to her in this awful aegyo baby voice. He even pout-wiggled and told Grandmother not to go to sleep until he gets home because he wants to sleep touching her boobies. WHAT. Ji-yeon's face says it all.
Na-rae asks what Dong-ha thought about her date, but Ji-yeon insists it's not like that. Na-rae doesn't believe her, but she reels when Ji-yeon reveals Dong-ha's age. Except she's reeling with happiness; Ji-yeon is so lucky!
By now Dong-ha has relocated his pacing to the street; but he spots Eun-chae first who's come to bring something to Ji-yeon, and they sit on a bench to wait. Ji-yeon arrives home and is annoyed to see Dong-ha and Eun-chae laughing together. Dong-ha starts right in with the nagging, noticing that her date didn't even walk her home. Eun-chae hands off whatever she brought, and stands there grinning.
Dong-ha and Ji-yeon's combined awkward silent glares aren't very welcoming though, so she bids them goodnight, and Dong-ha offers to walk her to the corner since it's not safe for a woman to walk alone at night, hint hint. She declines but he's making a point to Ji-yeon now, saying that Eun-chae's waaaay too pretty to walk alone.
When he gets back to Ji-yeon, he nags her again for staying out so late. He oh-so-not-at-all-casually asks if she's going to see that man again, but she tells him never to mention that weirdo. She softens him up by offering to share a drink to celebrate their victory over Jeong-do, and he mutters about her drinking again but it works.
Ji-yeon asks how he knows magic, and he says that he did it to get closer to the children during his pediatric rotation in medical school. She asks why he quit medical school, and he says it was because he discovered that doctors can't really save lives. Ji-yeon tells him that she thinks he would have made a good doctor.
Dong-ha pulls out his phone to play some music, and it's one of the old-school singers that Ji-yeon mentioned she liked (how sweet is he to download music for her?). He points out his favorite line about wanting a woman who's never been on a blind date, HAHA. Ji-yeon asks if he means her, but he's all big innocent eyes as he says no, because the song is about meetings (casual blind dates) and she went on a mat-seon (marriage-minded blind date). Ji-yeon turns it around on him, singing along to the woman's line that all she needs is a man who looks good with a great woman.
Dong-ha invites her inside, and takes off his shoes to offer to her since he noticed she was limping on her high heels (swoon). She accepts and takes his arm as they turn to go in, but he winces and cries out in pain. She didn't know he'd been injured in the break-in, and doctors up his arm for him.
As she's putting away the first-aid kit, Ji-yeon picks up his dead plant and asks about it. Dong-ha's mood switches in a flash, and he grabs the plant from her and yells at her not to touch it. She apologizes, but he's not in the mood to accept.
At the office the next day, the Trouble Maker Trio are celebrating their victory over Ji-yeon, gloating that she was no match for Kim Jeong-do. Young-sik almost spills the beans about what really happened, but Ji-yeon stops him as she walks in, dressed like a Girl's Generation nightmare.
Eun-chae enters, dressed exactly like Ji-yeon (to support her) and Dong-ha again points out how very pretty she is, earning a glare from Ji-yeon. Eun-chae passes out snacks, but Ji-yeon leaves and orders Dong-ha to follow her (and he looks pretty happy to obey).
They go to the airport to nab an interview with a gambling comedian, and Dong-ha whines that it's not fair that she got demoted. He goes to get Ji-yeon a snack, which is when the comedian shows up and the reporters go crazy. Ji-yeon tries to at least get a picture with her camera, but Dong-ha comes back with news that what's happening here is a decoy: He overheard someone saying that the comedian will be in the parking garage in ten minutes.
They head that way, but Dong-ha has left his lens behind. He runs back to get it, and Ji-yeon sits to wait for him. He calls to her from a few feet away, but when she looks over she sees not Dong-ha but the man sitting on a bench near him… It's Shi-hoon, her ex-fiance.
I cannot sing this show's praises enough. It has heart, it has humor, and it has characters that make me care so much about them even though it's still early in the show's run. A lot of that is the casting: this show is about as perfectly-cast as a rom-com can be, with all of the actors playing their roles so thoroughly that I find myself watching scenes more than once, just to watch each character's reactions and expressions to whatever the main focus is doing or saying. Park Seo-joon is especially brilliant at this: he is never not "on," and there's not a moment when Dong-ha isn't reacting and responding to what's going on around him. This is my first time seeing him in a drama, but it certainly won't be my last.
Uhm Jung-hwa is also playing Ji-yeon fantastically, giving her a depth and sincerity that I rarely notice in a heroine of this kind of rom-com. You can almost tell what she's thinking without her having to say a word, just by looking at her eyes. A good example is the scene where Dong-ha gives Ji-yeon her polar bear picture and she says she will throw it out, but he tells her not to. You can see sadness, surprise at Dong-ha's sensitivity, and then gratefulness all cross her face without her even needing to speak. Again, this is my first experience with Uhm Jung-hwa (other than Running Man, where I also found her endearing and hilarious) but I will definitely make a point to watch some more of her work.
I love how the show seems to zip along, introducing characters and conflicts with speed but also throughness, making it feel like we've seen much more than only 4 episodes but never feeling rushed. Emotions are already coming into play; I'm pretty certain Dong-ha is well on his way to being head-over-heels in love, if his mothering and worrying and jealousy are any indication, but it doesn't feel too soon. Ji-yeon is a bit behind in that regard, but she's definitely attracted if not actually starting to fall for him yet (though a solid case could be made). I like that they have a good solid friendship already, and seem to genuinely enjoy each other's company, so that when they do fall for each other it will feel natural.
But first we have to have some conflict, and how better than to introduce an old flame? Especially one with whom you never had closure and whom you still aren't over. Ji-yeon's ex-fiance showing up is going to throw a wrench into her growing feelings for Dong-ha, though I'm pretty sure they'll only accelerate his growing emotions. If he can get that twisted up over one blind date, how will he act out when faced with a real love rival? I'm not so much looking forward to the conflict, but I'm definitely anticipating some (more) cute antics on Dong-ha's part.
And he'll have his own admirer to deal with, though I wasn't very excited about it at first glance. On her own, Eun-chae seems to be a sweet girl, but rather bland and boring as second leads go. Then some clues in Episode 3 led me to agree that she's quite probably the younger sister of Dong-ha's old girlfriend. She was talking with her mother of her unni as if she's gone (or probably dead), and a woman at the orphanage mentioned someone named Young-chae to Dong-ha, who seemed to know Eun-chae's mother. Not to mention that comment that "Young-chae's mother" has a daughter recently returned from the US, which we know is true about Eun-chae. It's probably, since the drama world is tiny, that Young-chae is Dong-ha's old girlfriend who has passed away (and his talk of not being able to save lives could be another clue) and that he'll find out that the new intern is in fact her younger sister.
This would certainly add a layer of complexity and angst to Dong-ha and Eun-chae's relationship. While at first I thought we didn't really need a female second lead because there was already enough going on to make a full story, I do think that encountering his old flame's sister could be an interesting way to have Dong-ha work through any lingering baggage he's carrying. And I do suspect that baggage is going to be mighty heavy.
I'm a little concerned about the entrance of the love rivals and backstories of our leads, because I love the light and breezy tone of the show as it is, and bringing in dead-ex-drama could potentially turn things dark. I could honestly watch 12 more episodes of cute and funny and just forego the exes and second leads altogether, but I have a feeling that this honeymoon period is soon coming to an end. Let's hope that the show can maintain it's well-balanced structure, and give us plenty more chemistry and friendship between Dong-ha and Ji-yeon (and the rest of the hilarious gang) , in between the angst and conflict on the horizon.

"Disarm The Descent", the new album from Massachusetts metallers KILLSWITCH ENGAGE — singer Jesse Leach, guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz, bassist Mike D'Antonio, guitarist Joel Stroetzel and drummer Justin Foley — is available for streaming in its entirety at AltPress.com. Due on on April 2 via Roadrunner Records, the follow-up to KILLSWITCH ENGAGE's 2009's self-titled release is the band's first album with original singer Jesse Leach at the vocal helm since 2002's now-classic, genre-defining "Alive or Just Breathing". Leach returned to the band in January 2012 after a decade-long absence. The artwork for the new CD was created by D'Antonio.
"It is with a grateful spirit that we prepare for this record's release," Leach said. "From the music, to the lyrics, to the artwork, we are all proud of what we have accomplished. To me, this is by far my best vocal performance, much thanks to Adam's guidance and faith in my abilities. I am very grateful to be where I am in life, back in an amazing band with a record we are all excited for the world to hear. Thanks to all the fans for their warm welcome back and their undying love for KILLSWITCH ENGAGE." "Disarm The Descent" was mixed by veteran British producer Andy Sneap, who has previously worked with MEGADETH, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, ACCEPT, ARCH ENEMY and NEVERMORE. The band recently embarked on a tour that celebrated the 10th anniversary of "Alive Or Just Breathing". They performed the album in full, with a few fan favorites and hits from their gold-selling albums, 2004's "The End Of Heartache" and 2006's "As Daylight Dies", sprinkled into the setlist. KILLSWITCH ENGAGE were also profiled by Decibel in the magazine's highly respected "Hall of Fame" feature for "Alive Or Just Breathing". In between tours, the band put its nose to the grindstone to work on what would become "Disarm The Descent", with Dutkiewicz producing. The wheels have been turning for the past year, as the band supplemented recording with touring. "Disarm The Descent" track listing: 01. The Hell In Me02. Beyond The Flames

The Federal Reserve Board met earlier this week and took action based on analysis that the U.S. economy is still in a slump.
The good news Wednesday was that the federal deficit for fiscal 2013 was $680 billion, lower than the past four, each of which was more than $1 trillion. It is still bad news since it increases the national debt, which now stands at $17.1 trillion. Some economic advisers are talking about letting inflation rise, which would help pay debts. But that would be another attack on America's middle class, whose pay would lag behind rising prices.
The merely temporary resolution of the government shutdown and debt ceiling crisis that Washington subjected Americans to last month continues to cast a pall over economic activity. The Fed announced Wednesday that the $85 billion in bond purchases it makes per month, called "quantitative easing," will continue so that new money is poured into the economy. Its continuation, however, is becoming an addiction for Wall Street and American banks.
In the meantime, September's job creation figures were a pallid 148,000, around the minimum required just to absorb new entries into the job market. Even that positive figure was not enough to put a small dent in the number of Americans -- 11 million -- seeking employment.
On trade, the United States hit a deficit of $208 billion with China, up $5 billion from a year ago in spite of a weaker U.S. economy. There isn't much to be expected from trade with Europe either. Figures Thursday showed that unemployment in the 28-nation European Union has risen to 11 percent and, in the euro currency zone, to 12.2 percent, in spite of modest improvement in Spain, a convalescent economy.
In short, Americans have little reason to expect much recovery in the near future. October's figures will, of course, reflect the full impact of the government's 16-day shutdown.
The bombs planted in the economic road for Jan. 15, the next budget deadline, and Feb. 7, the next debt ceiling crisis, even though some Republicans have promised not to detonate them, impede the confidence that investors, bankers and operators of companies require to move forward to create jobs and strengthen the economy.

Do I have a open roof deformity/residual hump ? (Photo)
I am 6 months post op and I am aware I am still healing however I am due to see my surgeon soon and would like to have some opinions...I have a dent in the bridge of my nose which is visible when I apply pressure to the side of my nose, also a little bump on the left side of my tip and my entire nose seems very chunky. Do I have a open roof deformity or any other issues which i should bring up to my surgeon?
Doctor Answers 1
An open roof deformity diagnoses is best made at the time of examination consultation. At that point your surgeon can palpate and feel the bridge of the nose to feel if there is an open roof deformity. The residual nasal hump can be shaved down and osteotomies will be required. Medial and lateral osteotomies are usually necessary to close an open roof deformity.

The Marion County High School baseball team stumbled last week, coming up short in both outings.
DuPont Manual, a late addition to the Knights schedule, rocked the locals 15-3 on Tuesday of last week in Louisville.
"We were winning 3-0 after the second inning. It looked like we were going to play some baseball but then the wheels came completely off," Head Coach Chad Spalding said.

I spend about $125 a week on groceries for me, my husband and my 22-month-old son, and both my husband and I really feel like that is a lot! What's frustrating is I feel like I am fairly frugal...I don't buy much prepared food, or ready-to-eat meals, or individually packaged stuff, or any organic food, or even the "expensive" fruits and vegetables, lol! We do eat meat every night, and my husband takes his lunch to work every day. We eat out (Chipotle, Panera, fast-foody stuff like that) maybe three meals a week (Friday night and weekend lunches); this cost is not included in my grocery tab.
I guess I am wondering how "normal" we are...my husband (only half-jokingly) thinks I am spending all of our money on groceries and I'm really feeling like it is not possible for me to cut back anymore unless we start eating every meal out of a Rice r Roni box and I am not willing to do that! We are in a major metro area with a pretty high cost-of-living. I try to stock up on the foods we regularly eat when there is a sale. And of course, I use coupons!
Wait, is that guideline $50/person per week, or per month?
You're doing pretty great on the couponing! Is there a website you recommend?
That's a week... I have a few, but most are for the Toledo area...
A good one that shows deals in states is couponmom.com
We are a family of five, one in diapers, two potty training, and we have another on the way. So I say we are a family of six (so I can eat more). ;)
So this year, my husband gave me a challenge to keep our grocery budget under $400 a month - includig diapers, toiletries, and dog food. Well, I have yet to meet my budget; usually exceeding by the second or third week of the month. But, in my efforts, I have found a lot of ways to save. I joined Amazon mom and subscribe n save for diapers - 30% off and they deliver them to my door for free. I started extreme couponing in March. I have gotten hundreds of dollars in free items from drug stores and groceries. I do not bother with the Sunday paper coupons, I just don't feel I have the time right now. I 'like' the couponing blogs on FB and just watch for deals in my FB feed everyday. If there is something that has an olnine, printable coupon, or does not require a coupon and is free or really cheap (like 11 cents), then I make a trip to get the free items. I have stocked my pantry with pasta and canned veggies for free or next to nothing. I play the drug store game nearly every week - buy items that generate store rewards and use the rewards to get items that generate more rewards the next week, so after the initial purchase, the items are essentially free. It takes a lot of will power though to not spend the drug store rewards on stuff I want now and waiting until the right time when I can get a really good deal. We drink koolaid instead of juice, made sugar free with splenda. I could make it on that budge tif we ate a lot of beans and rice. But I am like you, I want to cook good food and eat real meals. And I kinda can only eat what sounds good to me at the time, because I am pregnant, and the cravings will overpower the budget. Even with all of that, we spend between $600 and $800 a month.

Gunman Clive 3DS
- Publisher: Horberg Productions
- Release Date: Jan 3, 2013
- Also On: iPhone/iPad, PC
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Jul 23, 2013A stunning masterpiece of a platform game, with so many different styles that are well loved from over the years, all tightly pieced together and expertly delivered by a developer with a clear strong talent in this genre.
Games Master UKMar 24, 2013A small but perfectly formed gem. [Apr 2013, p.83]
Mar 7, 2013The game is undeniably lovingly made, but it's also disappointing brief. It's - yep - the fastest fun in the west.
Feb 22, 2013The stellar game design is emboldened by the three different characters you can play as. From start to finish, Gunman Clive is a fantastic platformer, good enough that it is worth playing multiple times to play as every character.
Feb 19, 2013It's a stylish adventure that can be enjoyed two or three times in a short amount of time and entertains because of its simplicity.
Jan 14, 2013A great mobile offering just got even better, as Gunman Clive emerges as one of the best platformers on the 3DS.
Jan 9, 2013Yes, it's short, but it's one of those games only an indie developer can make. It's special, addictive and fun, and a must-have for those who love platforming titles.
Jan 8, 2013The game is still a steal at $2. Fans of 2D action platformers need to check it out.
Jan 8, 2013Gunman Clive is kind of the ideal downloadable title. It offers a good challenge, visuals that you won't find in a retail package, and, most importantly, it's a lot of fun. While the short length is a bit of a turn-off, the diversity in the game's three playable characters should add some extra incentive to revisit the game.

Service Dog ID is constantly on the look out for those special items which make life easier for you and your service animal When we find a special item or great deal we don't hesitate to pass it on to you. We have recently started featuring..... learn more
Welcome to Service Dog ID
Certification of service animals is not required under federal law. Unfortunately, most business owners and organizations are unaware of this simple fact. Who among us have not at some time been embarrassed or 'singled-out' because our lives have been enhanced by our service animal.
While registration of your service animal is not required by any law many of us are discovering it is the easiest and most responsible way to address the problem as well as educate the public.
End Unfair Treatment
To continually have to explain the valuable role your service dog plays in your day to day life gets tiresome. Without Service Animal ID the disabled have been wrongly denied access, ordered to leave public facilities, and treated as if we are criminals.
Fast, Safe, and Professional
With 1000's of Service Dogs qualified since 2007, and prices lower than most of our competitors Service Dog ID provides the service you are looking for. Our qualifying process is fast and simple. Most orders are processed and shipped within 24 hours.
Your Rights Under the ADA
- Disabled people with service animals must be allowed access to all public accommodations. This right takes precedence over all state and local laws which might otherwise prohibit animals in those places.
- Establishments must never ask disabled guests to show proof of disability -- or require proof that their service animals are somehow "certified." Nor can they restrict disabled guests and their service animals to certain areas.
Quality of Life
"Thank you SDI. You have made such a huge difference in my life. I used to be subjected to scorn and ridicule because Symon does not look or act like people suppose he should. My disability is such that most onlookers don't even realize I am disabled or that Symon is, indeed, a service dog. With the help of his tag and the certification cards you provide (which have come to be very useful) I no longer dread going out in public. I feel liberated!" - Billie M
Exceptional Customer Service
"Dolores and I need to commend you on your wonderful customer services. Once we contacted you with our question your support staff responded very quickly. It was nice to be able to talk with Stacie on the phone and she was very helpful. The tags themselves were not only exceptional but, very helpful as well. We will wholeheartedly will recommend your service if the opportunity should ever arrive. Thank you! - Frank and Delores T, Athens, Georgia
Appreciate the Extra Effort
"So nice to find a company that is not in it for just the money. These guys really care and it shows. A couple of months after I ordered my Service Dog Identification it inadvertently ended up in my washer and then, ugh...dryer. It was destroyed. I contacted Stacie at SDI to check on a replacement. Of course, I fully intended to pay for a new tag but she quickly let me know they would send a new tag out to me. I did not even have to pay postage! If you want professional and courteous service along with a fair price I highly recommend Service Dog ID." - Debbie T, Carrolton Tx

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Good Afternoon and welcome! I am Dr. Loretta, a licensed veterinarian and I am happy to answer your question.
If there are multiple places where the Lymph nodes are enlarged such as the Mandibular nodes by Tiny's jaw and the Popliteal nodes by her rear legs, then this is most likely Lymphoma. If this were due to an infection , only one or 2 nodes would be affected in a certain area.
The treatment is appropriate because not only is your vet using a good antibiotic but also using Prednisone, which is a good chemotherapeutic medication used for Lymphoma.
I would have liked to see your vet do a fine needle aspirate of one or 2 of these nodes since , if this is :Lymphoma, the quicker it is treated, the more time Tiny would have with you possibly.
Does that make sense to you?
Please let me know if you have ANY other questions. My goal is to give you 100% satisfaction and if you are not yet satisfied, please REPLY so I can clarify for you.
Sincerely, XXXXX XXXXX
Thank you so much, Stefany for your kind rating. It is very much appreciated! Do not hesitate to contact me with any other concerns that you may have about Tiny's condition. If you have other questions, please Reply. I am always happy to help. I have my fingers crossed that this is merely an infection, Stefany....

You've probably seen the term serif before, and you might even know what it means: A serif is the small detail, or tail, that extends from the end of the core strokes that comprise alpha characters. A sans serif font doesn't have these details.
When choosing a font, be sure to consider how readers will view the document:
- A serif font is easier to read in print, such as reports, books, catalogs, and newspapers.
- A sans serif font is easier to read on a computer screen, such as fill-in forms and Web pages.
Experts theorize that the serif details help people read groups of words instead of single words. This seems to work well in print but not on screen.

Is this a linear programming problem?
Hello, I'm trying to solve the following problem, and I need a little bit of direction (I'd like to solve it on my own, so just some direction, please). Given: a 2 x n matrix whose entries are randomly selected from {0, 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5} Task: to "tidy up" the matrix in as few steps as possible Definition1: A _step_ is interchanging the locations of two elements in the matrix Definition2: To _tidy up_ a matrix is to re-arrange the elements so that all the 0's are together, all the 1's are together, etc. There are a few other specific constraints, but that's the general problem. Sort of like a disk defrag, or better yet, a 2d tower of hanoi puzzle. Is there any literature or anything on this? If possible, please email responses in addition to posting... thanks for any info, CDJ cdjones+ at pitt.edu

The Distant Spring is the fourth area Olimar discovered on his first visit to the Pikmin Planet. The terrain is mostly aquatic with unique creatures spread throughout. This land also is home to most of Captain Olimar's missing ship parts, of which there are ten. The Perplexing Pool from Pikmin 2 bears resemblance to the Distant Spring. They feature similar maps, similar looking hedges, and the same tree stumps. However, several gates are gone in the Perplexing Pool.
General Layout
The Distant Spring is the largest area in the first Pikmin game. Water covers a great portion of the area. In the center lies the landing site, along with several hollow tree stumps. To the North is a small pond where the Number 2 Ionium Jet and the Chronos Reactor can be found. To the East, a wall maze with the UV Lamp can be found, blocked by a small path full with Spotty Bulbears, Puffy Blowhogs, and Dwarf Bulbears. To the West are the places with the Gluon Drive, Zirconium Rotor, and Pilot's Seat, which are located in large tree stumps. Finally, to the South lies a small river with some islands where the Smoky Progg (before day 15) and the Interstellar Radio (inside a Puffy Blowhog) can be found. There are several Water Dumples in this area. Bomb Rocks in this area are found in giant skulls. One of them is inside a hollow tree stump guarded by a Spotty Bulbear near the landing site, and another one in the beach where the Massage Machine is found. There is another skull near the pool with Wogpoles to the West.In the main story, the area is laid out with Spotty Bulbears, Dwarf Bulbears, Yellow Wollywogs, and Water Dumples. After day 4, two Swooping Snitchbugs survey the area, looking for Pikmin to capture and throw into the ground.
In Challenge Mode, Red Bulborbs are found all over the land area, instead of Spotty Bulbears. Pearly Clamclamps are also found in different locations, and two Puffstools walk around in different areas.
- Puffy Blowhog × 3 (× 2 after Interstellar Radio is exposed)
- Dwarf Bulbear × 11 (after Day 15)
- Spotty Bulbear × 6
- Water Dumple × 10
- Shearwig × 11
- Iridescent Flint Beetle × 1
- Yellow Wollywog × 7
- Wogpole × 7 (after Day 15)
- Swooping Snitchbug × 2 (after day 4)
- Armored Cannon Beetle × 1 (until Bowsprit is exposed)
- Smoky Progg × 1 (before day 15 only, does not return after being awakened)

- The Enemy Reel shows the Distant Spring having different enemies, ship parts, and being more plain, without the hollow tree stumps. This is most likely a beta version of the map.
- The perfect score in challenge mode is 752.
- The Distant Spring is one of two areas containing an optional boss, the other is the The Impact Site.
- In the Formidable Oak (Pikmin 3), the area where the Plasm Wraith is fought has a pattern on the floor similar to the pattern of the ground where the Smoky Progg's egg is found.

Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen (of the Tennessee Cohens) is the latest politician to dip his toe into the waters of the sports world.
He's written a letter to David Stern, decrying the rule that amateur players must be 19 before they can enter the NBA draft. The correspondence itself is well written and the arguments are presented intelligently.
But, then Cohen decided to speak to the NY Times, and he pulled out this old chestnut:
"It's a vestige of slavery,†Cohen said Wednesday in a phone interview, noting that most of the players affected by the rule are African-American. "Not like the slavery of 150 years ago, but it's a restraint on a person's freedoms and liberties.â€
Ah, yes, the slavery.

In Lake Alexandrina, New Zealand, a population of snails is under threat from a parasitic flatworm, a fluke aptly known as Microphallus. The fluke chemically castrates its snail host and uses its body as a living incubator for its larvae. But the snails have a weapon against these body-snatching foes – sex.
The New Zealand mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum is found throughout island's freshwater habitats. They breed either sexually or asexually through cloning, and the two strategies vary in prevalence throughout the lake. In the shallower waters round its margins, sex is the name of the game, but in the deeper waters towards the lake's centre, snails are more likely to opt for cloning.
Kayla King from Indiana University has shown that it's the concentration of the local parasites that drives this gradient of sex. The flukes spend their adult lives in ducks and they rely on the birds inadvertently scooping up their larvae while feeding. In Lake Alexandrina, ducks only feed in the shallow waters around the lake's margins so these areas are hotspots for parasites, and for co-evolutionary wars between them and their snail hosts. Sex provides the snails with the genetic ammunition they need to stay in the game.
The snails and their parasites beautifully support and illustrate the principles of the Red Queen hypothesis, which suggests that one of the chief benefits of sex lies in providing the genetic innovation necessary to outfox parasites in evolutionary arms races.
Asexual animals have massive advantages over sexual ones – they can produce more offspring quickly and they never have to dilute their own genetic contributions with those of a partner. All in all, they should rapidly replace sexual counterparts unless something negates their advantages – something like competition against parasites. To a parasite, a population of asexual clones with their identical genomes, are an easy target. Any adaptation that gives them the upper hand against one individual will work against the whole group.
Sexual individuals, on the other hand, have genetically diverse offspring, for every time a male and female mate, their genes mingle in new and interesting combinations. That makes them far more difficult to game when the targets are constantly shifting.
King collected snails from the shallow and deep parts of Lake Alexandrina and nearby Lake Kaniere. She also captured Microphallus flukes from these two lakes and one other, and pitted them against the various snails. The results showed that the parasites are strongly adapted to their local sub-populations of snails. For example, the Alexandria flukes are much more infectious to the shallow-water sexual snails from the same lake than they than the deep-water asexual ones. The shallows are indeed co-evolutionary hotspots.
The parasites were only good at infecting snails from the same local area – the shallow part of their own particular lake. Snails were foreign to them if they came from either different lakes, or from the deeper parts of the same one (even if those regions were only a few metres away). This rules out the possibility that the sexual behaviour of the shallow-water snails makes them more vulnerable to parasites. The opposite explanation, that more parasites lead to more sex, is the likelier one.

Who would have thought that sex was basically about worms?
I hope you don't mind me sharing a Finnish palindrome, just in case there are other Finnish readers:
"Toi loiskeston ne hennot seksioliot."
Roughly translated, it says, "It's them delicate sex creatures that brought parasite tolerance." (The grammar is nonstandard in the original.) -
As a High School Science Teacher in a small conservative town, I am famous for showing what my students call the "Sex Video". It is the "Eyes of Nye on Genetic Diversity", and explains that we have sex to stay ahead of the parasites. Nye also uses his bad humor and the Red queen to explain this.
Thanks for a concrete example that I can use in the classroom. -
Heh, Potamopyrgus antipodarum is also highly invasive in a number of US West Coast watersheds. And reproduce entirely asexually for the most part, though if I recall the readings I did for a undergrad evol.bio presentation, it is reproducing semi-sexually in one population in France.
Anyhow, if flukes are tightly bound to sexual populations, then this does make biocontrol via introducing flukes a bit more on the fun side. Depending on the source populations for the invasive groups. Though if I recall correctly, each invasive population was mostly 1 clonal line… -
Sorry to leave the comment here, but the post directly following — the one about noise and birds — appears to be broken in some way. I canNOT get to the rest of the article. Not via the "read more" link, nor the title link.
Those flukes are a bit like Robin Hood – robbing from the snails, to give to the ducks. Certainly in terms of length, that is.

As you approach Gaza's main dump by road you see a massive wall of trash looming over the plain.
It's crawling with around one hundred scavenger dogs and dozens of poor children, combing through the trash for anything they can sell.
In this cesspit of disease is 20 percent of all the donated medicine Gaza has received since the end of the January 2009 war with Israel.
The Health Ministry in the deposed government of Hamas and the World Health Organisation say this aid had already expired or was close to expiring, before it arrived in Gaza.
So now officials are left with the job of disposing of it. But how? Gaza doesn't have the proper facilities to do it, so it's dumped in a landfill and bulldozed along with the rest of the garbage.
Millions of dollars of aid – going to waste.
Men use their bare hands to push boxes of medicine off the back of a truck, into the dump. The stench is disgusting and flies are everywhere.
Not only are donors sending expired medicine, the Health Ministry says most of the aid they receive is unsuitable, poor quality, and the wrong types of drugs.
As for medical equipment, doctors say it's often outdated, up to 10 years old, broken, and incompatible with the local electricity supply.
In total, the Ministry claims they have to dispose of 70 percent of all the medical aid they've received in the last 18 months.
A dumping ground for aid?
One doctor told us he believes Gaza has become a dumping ground for aid. But Gaza isn't alone. He says sometimes medicine is sent to El Arish in Egypt, before going overland to Gaza. When Gaza's officials are told it's expired, they reject it, and it's then sent to Darfur in Sudan!
The Health Ministry says two months ago it received $2 million worth of Tamiflu drugs for the H1N1 virus, enough for a third of Gaza's population. The ministry didn't want these drugs, saying the H1N1 threat had passed. So the Tamiflu is also in the rubbish dump now.
They also say sometimes donors send huge supplies of drugs, more than Gaza could use in five years. Unable to get through it all, it expires and has to be dumped.
Co-ordination with Hamas
Dr Ehab Hjazi, the Head of the Donations Committee in the Health Ministry for the deposed government of Hamas, says if countries and organisations co-ordinated with the ministry directly, they would find out exactly what Gaza needs. And the list is long. Hospitals are critically short of 115 drugs, including antibiotics and cancer drugs.
But while Hamas is listed in many countries as a 'terrorist' group, donors' hands are tied. If they deal with Hamas, they risk being banned and losing their funding.
However, donors can find out what Gaza needs from the World Health Organisation.
So it''s time for the international community to get it right.
Sending millions of dollars worth of aid may give a country or Non Government Organisation (NGO) some positive short-term publicity. But if it's ending up in landfill where children and dogs sift through it, then it's more than a problem for the people of Gaza, it's an insult.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a 100-year-old man drove onto a sidewalk and hit 11 people, including nine children, across from an elementary school in South Los Angeles.
Los Angeles fire Capt. Jaime Moore says four of the children were in critical condition when firefighters arrived but they were stabilized and are now in serious condition at a hospital.
Moore says some of the victims were trapped under the powder blue Cadillac before witnesses helped pull them out.
Police identified the driver as 100-year-old Preston Carter. Investigators are interviewing him and say he is being cooperative.

Poison-Resistant Rodents hit Edinburg
Experts have warned that `mutant super rats' have developed resistance to poison used to kill them. Rats are enjoying poison as if it is just food for them. Pest controllers have reported the woes of Edinburg residents who are baffled over the fact that despite giving poison to rats, they have not been able to get rid of them.
The most likely reason behind this is that the vermin has become more resistant to toxins. Researchers have found that the numbers of `super rats' are growing. They have been studying the DNA of pest controllers' victims to figure out ways to resolve the issue.
It was revealed by a team from Huddersfield University that rodents have become poison-resistant and are able to consume anticoagulant pellets like feed.
Richard Moseley, of the British Pest Control Association, said, "Normal rats are being killed off by poison, so these resistant species are taking their place - it's only natural that their numbers are expanding. They eat poison like feed - you might as well be leaving out grain for them".
He suggested people to go for professional advice as rats are known to carry and spread diseases. It is very important to keep a check on their population because they pose a serious threat on public health.

Template talk:Municipalities of Serbia
WikiProject Serbia | (Rated Template-class) | |||||||||||||
Too big[edit]
I think the template is too big; as I get it, the {{Navigation}} is collapsed by default only if there are at least two navigation templates next to one another. should we split it into three (Central Serbia/Vojvodina/Kosovo), like e.g. {{Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina}}? In this way, it would still be conveniently at the bottom but occupy much less space. Duja► 14:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Student or Learner
What are the meanings of the phrases have been highlighted as follow?
"Being a single parent ... It's lonely sometimes - and always hard work. As well as the day-to-day stuff there are all the things two parent families take for granted...not having a second opinion in the middle of the night when one of the kids has a temperature; no one to take it in turns with for aSaturday morning lie-in. No one to go through the bills with. No one to go on holiday with. No one to shout at when you're tired and cross and no one to make up with later..."
Tks / ju
Look at the context, particularly 'no one to <verb> with'; so your blue highlighting is wrong in linking "with" and "for".
A "lie-in" is when you stay in bed for an hour or two longer than usual.
Going "through the bills with" someone is looking at them one at a time and discussing them.
"Making up with" is settling a dispute.

Letters to the Editor
Shovel snow elsewhere
This is the second winter that I have noticed people constantly putting snow into handicapped parking spots.
I see it in parking lots all over Surrey. I must object to this practice and ask people to stop. It is exactly this kind of challenging situation of bad weather when disabled need the extra room to maneuver and the easier access to shops, doctor's office etc.
There are so many more non-designated spots to shovel or plow snow into. Please consider disabled people and stop putting all the snow in the larger closer handicapped parking spot.
Maybe there needs to be a extra fine for this.

The next sunspot cycle will be 30 to 50 percent stronger than the last one, and begin as much as a year late, according to a breakthrough forecast using a computer model of solar dynamics developed by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo. The research results, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA, were published on-line on March 3 in the American Geophysical Union journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Scientists now predict that the next cycle, known as Cycle 24, will produce sunspots across an area slightly larger than 2.5 percent of the visible surface of the Sun. The cycle is projected to reach its peak about 2012, one year later than indicated by alternative forecasting methods that rely on statistics.
By analyzing recent solar cycles, the scientists also hope to forecast sunspot activity two solar cycles, or 22 years, into the future. The team is planning in the next year to issue a forecast of Cycle 25, which will peak in the early 2020s.
The researchers expect that predicting the Sun's cycles years in advance will lead to more accurate plans for solar storms, which can slow satellite orbits, disrupt communications, and bring down power systems.
The team has verified the information by using the relatively new technique of helioseismology, based in part on observations from NASA instruments. This technique tracks sound waves reverberating inside the Sun to reveal details about the interior, much as a doctor might use ultrasound to see inside a patient.
"Forecasting the solar cycle will help society anticipate solar storms," says Paul Bellaire, program director in NSF's division of atmospheric sciences, which funded the research. "Important discoveries are being made using helioseismology. Through this technique, we can image even the far side of the Sun."
The scientists gained additional confidence in the forecast by showing that the newly developed model could simulate the strength of the past eight solar cycles with more than 98 percent accuracy.
"The model has demonstrated the necessary skill to be used as a forecasting tool," says NCAR scientist Mausumi Dikpati, the leader of the forecast team at NCAR's High Altitude Observatory. The team also includes NCAR scientists Peter Gilman and Guiliana de Toma.
"This is a significant breakthrough with important applications, especially for satellite-dependent societies," says Gilman.
The Sun goes through approximately 11-year cycles, from peak storm activity to quiet, and back again. Solar scientists have tracked these cycles without being able to predict their relative intensity or timing, says Dikpati.
Solar storms are linked to twisted magnetic fields that suddenly snap and release tremendous amounts of energy. They tend to occur near dark regions of concentrated magnetic fields, known as sunspots.
The NCAR computer model, known as the Predictive Flux-transport Dynamo Model, draws on research indicating that the evolution of sunspots is caused by a current of plasma, or electrified gas, that circulates between the Sun's equator and its poles over a period of 17 to 22 years.
The plasma acts as a conveyor belt, transporting the imprints of sunspots from the previous two solar cycles. As they return toward the equator, they become stretched and twisted by the internal rotation of the Sun, gradually becoming less stable than the surrounding plasma. This eventually causes coiled-up magnetic field lines to rise up, tear through the Sun's surface, and create new sunspots, beginning the cycle again.

Student Film Directors Debut at International Film Festivals
Most aspiring filmmakers only dream of someday debuting a film at an international film festival. But, for two Montclair State undergrads last spring – Jenna Leung '13 and junior Jamison LoCascio – that dream became reality. In May, Leung's film, Folded Hope, which she wrote and directed, debuted at the 66th Cannes Film Festival and LoCascio's short film Midnight Catch debuted at the New Jersey International Film Festival.
Folded Hope, Leung's senior thesis film that was created with a crew of Montclair State filmmaking students and alumni, tells the story of a terminally ill girl and her mother who struggle with the physical and emotional implications of the daughter's illness.
"The story is derived from an ancient Japanese legend that says if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, you'll get your wish," explains Leung, noting that she folded around 4,000 paper cranes for the movie. "I am currently looking to donate them to hospitals."
LoCascio's Midnight Catch, the story of a friendly bond between two men that turns deadly when they realize they are on the opposite sides of the law, was filmed in Montclair. "There's this certain emotional connection you have with this sort of landscape," said LoCascio, who wants to continue making films in New Jersey after he graduates. "I could see making a lot of films here."

The commissioner may issue a commercial work order to certified vendors for repair of vehicles and equipment when the commissioner determines that the repairs would extend the life of the equipment or vehicle a minimum of five years and that the expenditure would be the safest cost effective alternative to purchase of new vehicles and equipment or in-house repair.
Any commercial vendor of vehicle and equipment repair may apply to the commissioner for certification as a certified repair vendor under the provisions of this section. In order to qualify, the vendor must provide proof that it has the trained personnel, the required tools, equipment and facilities to provide the work. The commissioner shall inspect or cause to be inspected the facilities and shall review the qualifications of personnel of vendors applying for certification. If approved by the commissioner, the vendor may be certified as a qualified vendor for the type of repair work the commissioner determines the vendor is qualified to provide.
Prior to issuing a commercial work order with a certified vendor, the commissioner must determine the cost of repair of the vehicle or equipment. If on site inspection is required, the commissioner may issue a work order to provide for the inspection and estimate.
Preference for issuing vehicle and equipment repair work orders shall be given to in-state licensed qualified vendors: Provided, That a vendor which fails to guarantee its work for at least one year, or which fails to guarantee its work for a longer period if the longer period is comparable to that offered by local rebuild or repair shops, or which fails to complete any work order in the time specified within the work order, or which fails to complete any work order to the specifications of the work order, shall be decertified for a period of one year.
Nothing herein requires the commissioner of highways to issue a work order to any particular commercial vendor.
The commissioner of highways shall propose a legislative rule pursuant to article three, chapter twenty-nine-a of this code regarding certification of qualified vendors and awarding work orders. The legislative rule may include provisions for deviations from the standard cost principles in special situations and circumstances.

Once the circuits are wired up, any interruptions of light between the infrared emitter and detector diodes will generate a corresponding audio signal. In this case, the pluck of a string will convert light into sound!
We start by making a breadboard version of the basic audio circuit. We then multiply this circuit to accommodate four inputs, or strings. Interestingly, the color and material used for the strings produces slightly different sounds. Feel free to experiment with this! Also, feel free to experiment with the look and feel of the guitar. Since the actual body and shape of the guitar don't effect the output like an acoustic guitar, you can mount this circuit onto whatever chassis you want. Build frets for your guitar, make an upright bass or slide guitar, and design a custom case to put all your hardware in!
