Cabidor Behind Door Storage Classic-White is rated out of 5 by 60.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gootch from Brilliant! We are loving this cabinet! I'm trying to figure out how I can put one on every closet in our home. The unit is constructed quite well and it holds a lot of items. We are using it in our master bathroom. I would be great on the back of a pantry door for all those extra cans & bottles, perhaps on a laundry room door if there's no place for cabinets or shelves on the wall, or you could use one for bottles of wine. I wish they made one for shoes &/or handbags. I see that some reviews talk about difficulty assembling because of the lack of instructions. The instructions are easy to print directly from the page that's online, with the product information but ours came with the same instructions in the box and all of the pieces were included. We have 10 ft doors with four hinges, so we chose to mount the cabinet using the bottom three hinges. We definitely needed two people to mount it, only because of the awkwardness and difficulty getting the angle to remove the bottom hinge (I think my husbands' hands were too large to fit in the space between the floor & the bottom of the hinge that was firmly in place & a little difficult to remove). The only problem we encountered was that we have "Christian Doors" and the magnets cannot be attached properly because of the uneven surface where the top of the cabinet meets the door, so my only suggestion would be to have optional holes to attach the magnets wherever they'd work the best whether it's at the top of the unit (this is how it comes), the bottom of the unit or the side of the unit and perhaps different sized magnets.

Rated 3 out of 5 by VLMJ from Read "everything" before ordering. I wish "Improvements" had made it easier to find the info about which side of the door this had to be installed on. I assumed it could be hung on either side. I was definitely wrong. Unfortunately I won't be able to use it where I need it. To ship it back is unreasonable in costs. This is just another example of "haste makes waste". I should have done my homework first.

Rated 5 out of 5 by skoomom2 from Awesome Cabidor! I bought one of these for myself a year or so ago, and love it! It is used in the fairly tight water closet of our bathroom. With very little room for hiding anything out of sight, this back of the door storage unit is a tremendous help! The only thing to really put together is placing the shelves as high or low as you desire. Putting the unit up did require another person to help me seat the hinge rings over the hinges so that I could put the pins back in. It is heavy and rather cumbersome for one. It is made to work on either a left hand or right hand opening door. I liked it so much that I bought 2 more for sons who need extra storage in their apartments. I highly recommend the Cabidor because of its quality- solid and well made, simple to install and configure shelving, durable. I think it's very much worth the cost!

Rated 4 out of 5 by GrannieAnne from Good idea that needs some refinement I liked the concept of the cabidor, I wish it had been wider and that it did not restrict how far the door could be opened. Instead of using the very sturdy hardware to hang it from the hinges we eventually turned the cabidor around and screwed it to the door. This makes everything immediately accessible in the bathroom and in my sewing/craft room which is where we installed the cabidors. While I would have liked to use them as they were originally designed, my husband is happier with this arrangement, and I think I will be too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FinGuru from Great system for more storage I really like the system. It works well and is exactly what I needed. Only negative is that the instructions are a bit confusing in parts and we had to redo some of the assembly.
Date published: 2015-06-19
What is the minimum required underneath clearance between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor?
We recommend at least 1" clearance between the bottom of the cabinet and the floor.
Date published: 2017-04-22
Can you special order the Cabidor hardware in polished brass?
No need- there's no hardware to show, only a finger grip on the side to pull it open.
Date published: 2017-01-14
How many shelves are in this cabinet?
Thank you for your question. Useful information can be found by clicking the 'Instructions' tab on the page above. The Cabidor has 6 adjustable shelves.
Date published: 2017-01-14
Can this be set up inside a closet door?
The description says "behind the door storage" but the picture shows the item sticking out into the hallway. Can this be set up inside a closet door out of sight?
whatever door opens inward the unit will attach behind the door. If you have to pull to open the door then the unit is going to be on the outside of the door.
Date published: 2015-06-06
How does the cabidor stay closed, flush against door, when the door is in motion?
I would prefer the cabidor to stay flush against wall, with the back side of cabidor facing out, unless I want to access shelves which would be facing the wall. Is this possible with the hinge location.
Thank you for your questions. Useful information can be found by clicking the 'Instructions' or 'Video' tab on the page above. The Cabidor stays closed with a magnetic latch, The Cabidor is a storage unit that utilizes the door's hinge pins and is not meant to be a wall unit. It has to installed as shown above.
Date published: 2015-05-09
Can the hinges be reversed so that when the room door is closed you are looking at the back of the storage unit and not the toiletries?
I dont want guests to see the open shelves. When i need access the unit would then be swung open flush to the closed room door.
Thank you for your question. The main image above is the Cabidor open. When closed, it is flush to the door. The video above shows this.
Date published: 2015-05-09
Can the large Cabidor be used on doors that have only 2 hinges?
Thank you for your question. Yes, the full length Cabidor can be used on a two hinge door.
Date published: 2014-08-02
Could his unit mount on wall via piano hinge (don't have 3.5 inches)?
Thank you for your question. We do not recommend mounting the Cabidor™ any way other than advertised.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee told BBC Breakfast the issue could be compared to the importance of human rights.
He has been an outspoken critic of government surveillance following a series of leaks from ex-US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
Sir Tim called on people to take action and protest against surveillance.'Communal decision'
He told BBC Breakfast the online community has now reached a crossroads.
"It's time for us to make a big communal decision," he said. "In front of us are two roads - which way are we going to go?
"Are we going to continue on the road and just allow the governments to do more and more and more control - more and more surveillance?
"Or are we going to set up a bunch of values? Are we going to set up something like a Magna Carta for the world wide web and say, actually, now it's so important, so much part of our lives, that it becomes on a level with human rights?"web page" /> Looking at the world's first web page shows how much has changed online The NeXT cube machine on which Sir Tim designed the world wide web Sir Tim took part in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games
Sir Tim said the internet should be a "neutral" medium that can be used without feeling "somebody's looking over our shoulder".
He called for vigilance against surveillance by its users, adding: "The people of the world have to be constantly aware, constantly looking out for it - constantly making sure through action, protest, that it doesn't happen."
Sir Tim has previously warned that surveillance could threaten the democratic nature of the web.
He has also spoken out in support of Mr Snowden, saying his actions were "in the public interest".Continue reading the main story Browser favourites The BBC website and Facebook are the UK's most popular sites, according to a survey of 2,001 adults The poll for internet registry firm Nominet, found 24% of people chose Facebook as their favourite website The BBC was second, with 20% choosing the site Amazon was third with 9% Gmail and Yahoo were both chosen by 5% of those polled

The idea that the world wide web would end up playing such a huge role in people's lives would have seemed "crazy" 25 years ago, said Sir Tim.
He admitted that the web represented "humanity connected", involving both the "wonderful" and the "ghastly".
But he added: "I don't have a lot of sympathy with people who say: 'There's so much rubbish on the web.'
"Well, if there's so much rubbish, if it's rubbish, don't read it. Go read something else."

3 arrested in Bpt Courthouse fracas
Tempers flared on the steps of the Golden Hill Street courthouse as family and friends of a teenage victim and the two men charged with his Aug. 2 murder exchanged words, threats and finally punches early Monday.
The incident occurred just moments before Tysaaun Anderson, 18, and Kyle Brodie, 17, were to appear on the murder charge. Superior Court Judge Eddie Rodriguez ordered them held on $1 million bond and transferred their cases to the Main Street courthouse.
A small army of state troopers, Bridgeport police and judicial marshals converged on the scene after hearing inaccurate reports that shots were fired. State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said no shots were fired nor was any weapons displayed.
Arrested were Jose Gullap, 26, charged with third-degree assault and second degree breach of peace, while Jessica Gullap, 20, was charged with third-degree criminal mischief. Both have been ordered to appear in court on Jan. 11.
Tyrell Simms, 20, was charged with threatening and breach of peace, and was ordered to be in court on Jan. 10.
The Gullaps are related to George Gullap, who was shot to death on the afternoon of Aug. 2 while walking on Hallett near Ogden Streets. A teenage friend was wounded in the attack.
Anderson and Brodie are charged with murder; conspiracy to commit murder; first-degree assault; carrying a pistol without a permit and first-degree larceny.

Excellent; should win a lot of Emmys.
Excellent story bad seating area.
It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible, it was messy and disappointing but I didn't hate it. "Meh" was pretty much my reaction as I left the theatre. While nothing will be as bad as the prequels, nothing will be able to capture the magic of the originals. Star Wars is a new entity now, and going to see the movies will never satisfy.
Good movie but too long.
Trump make America great again and building a wall around this terrible movie
Kylo emo
Nope ! This was horrible on all levels. If I could rate this less than one star I would. It had it's moments but not enough to save this 180 minute snore fest of a head shaker. Even the new era strong woman characters and mindless over emotional male sidekicks are not convincing. The Supreme leader is shocking in appearance and still over acted - even for a Disney CG Character. Kylo Ren is the biggest waste if time. He's more of a comedic target, bumbling fool and emotional mess than a Darth Vader replacement. And that shirtless scene - really ?? This Disney-fied mess of Bantha droppings is an insult to the series. Even more so than Star Wars Vol 1 - 3. They rehashed previous scenes and then dragged them out worse than a SNL sketch. Even the cute bird things couldn't save it, even the appearance of the Master couldn't save it ... Luke - certainly couldn't save it and Carrie Fischer (Rest in Peace) looked a hundred years old tried - but failed to save it. Then there that whole - flying in space without a suit ... Oh well. At least they didn't cross over with the Thor movies or have Capt Jack Sparrow show up.
1 star is far too generous of a score. 5 stars is laughable.
Plot holes the size of craters littered throughout this 2 1/2hr mess of a movie. Terrible, in every sense of the word.
Story was well done. Kudos to the director.
A fancy story with ligthsaber fights and one princess.

Effectiveness of Student-Constructed Diagrams and Self-Explanation Instruction
Jennifer Cromley, Nora Newcombe (PI), Bradley Bergey, Shannon Fitzhugh, & Theodore W. Wills
Temple University
For the archival version of this research, and the preferred citation, see:
- Cromley, J. G., Bergey, B. W., Fitzhugh, S., Newcombe, N., Wills, T. W., Shipley, T. F., & Tanaka, J. C. (2013). Effects of three diagram instruction methods on transfer of diagram comprehension skills: The critical role of inference while learning. Learning and Instruction, 26, 45-58. [DOI]
Fostering student self-explanation in drawings and teaching students to construct their own drawings have both been tested and shown to be effective methods for increasing comprehension of figures in science text. However, it is unclear whether student-constructed drawing treatments are beneficial because they are generative, because they are visual, or because they increase inferential processing. We compared a student-constructed visual (SCD-Vis) treatment to a student-constructed verbal (SCD-Verb) treatment and a self-explanation (SelfExpl) treatment with 137 high school biology students. Results suggest equal, significant, positive effects of all treatments on biology diagram comprehension, but significantly less growth in biology knowledge and geoscience diagram comprehension (transfer) for the SCD-Vis treatment. All treatments were associated with increases in literal and inferential biology diagram comprehension. Our results suggest that the benefits of student-constructed drawings found in prior research are likely due to increasing inferential activity rather than due to generativity per se. Contrary to expectations, both self-explanation and student-constructed verbal treatments show benefits on posttests that use a verbal modality and on posttests that combine verbal and visual modalities. Findings suggest that simultaneously building biology knowledge and encouraging inference-making during diagram comprehension underlies the greater success of these two treatments. We close with implications for theory and instruction.
Students in science classes are faced with more than one visual representation per textbook page, yet research consistently finds poor comprehension of these diagrams, graphs, maps, photographs, and tables (Canham & Hegarty, 2010; Florax & Ploetzner, 2010; Seufert, Schutze & Brunken, 2009). Instruction in comprehension of visuals therefore seems warranted as a means to increase student learning of important science topics.
Teaching students to construct their own drawings and fostering student self-explanation in drawings have both been tested and shown to be effective methods for increasing comprehension of figures in science text. However, it is unclear whether student-constructed drawing (SCD) treatments are beneficial a) because they are generative, b) because SCD interventions are visual interventions whose effectiveness is tested with visual posttests, and/or c) because they foster inferential processing. Our purpose was therefore to compare visual highly-generative (Student-Constructed Diagrams-Visual), verbal highly-generative (Student-Constructed-Diagrams-Verbal), and verbal low-generative (self-xplanation) interventions in order to test hypotheses related to matched visual modality, generativity, and inferential processing.
Theoretical Framework
Student-constructed drawing is thought to be effective because of the generative nature of learning (Wittrock, 1974); in creating a new representation in the course of learning, rather than simply processing a representation created by another (as in self-explanation), students should develop a deeper understanding of concepts and better learn and remember the material. Students who are instructed to make their own drawings while reading often—but not always—show better comprehension of scientific text than uninstructed students (van Meter & Garner, 2005). Self-explanationis a multifaceted activity that includes gap-filling inferences, bridging inferences, knowledge elaboration, metacognitive monitoring, and fix-up strategies (Roy & Chi, 2005). Students who are prompted to self-explain while learning from diagrams show better comprehension than students not prompted to self-explain (Ainsworth & Th Loizu, 2003).
In both the generativity hypothesis and the self-explanation paradigm, students must actively engage with the to-be-learned information and make inferences to connect information in memory with to-be-learned information. One critical difference, however, between self-explanation and student-constructed drawings (SCD) as a means for learning from visual representations, is that the former is an almost entirely verbal process whereas the latter is almost entirely visual. This has important implications for design of future interventions in classrooms, since results could point towards a focus on generativity or towards a focus on instruction in visual skills.
Hypotheses from the generativity hypothesis. We expected that if the benefit of student-constructed diagrams is due to generativity, the Student-Constructed Diagrams (SCD) Verbal and Visual conditions would show the same results on student learning. Specifically, both SCD conditions should outscore SelfExpl on knowledge gains and inferential diagram questions because according to the generativity hypothesis the creation of a new representation is more generative than the creation of a written explanation.
Hypotheses from modality match. A different type of explanation for the success of SCD interventions is that students create a visual representation and are then tested on visual representations (i.e., diagram comprehension items). We refer to this as modality match hypothesis A. An alternative modality match hypothesis is that students on the posttest answer verbal questions that ask them to make sense of visual material. Modality match hypothesis B therefore predicts that the verbal instructional conditions should outscore the visual instructional condition. The predicted pattern of results is the same for biology knowledge, biology diagrams, and geoscience diagrams.
Hypotheses from inferential processing. A third alternative explanation is that both SCD and SelfExpl interventions increase inferential processing. If this is equally true for all interventions, then all three treatments should show effects on inferential measures at posttest. However, as reviewed by Van Meter and Garner (2005), SCD may show no effects on literal comprehension.
Research design. We used a quasi-experimental design with random assignment of 12 classes within teachers to the three conditions.
Participants were 143 students in 12 intact 9th grade biology classes, Mage = 14.5, 60% female, 59% White, 17% Black, 14% Hispanic, 10% other/mixed race. Median maternal and paternal education was a high school diploma. This was a relatively low-achieving district, as 37% of students tested partially-proficient (i.e., Below Basic + Basic) on a low-stakes statewide science exam and 23% below basic on a high-stakes reading comprehension exam.
Measures for students included demographics, biology knowledge, geoscience background knowledge, biology diagram comprehension, and geoscience diagram comprehension. See Table 1 (below) for the number of items, reliability and validity data.
Fidelity of Implementation was measured with a researcher-developed checklist based on the Pressley and Harris (2006) strategy instruction model.
Intervention Materials consisted of one of three workbooks (Self-explanation in diagrams, Student-Constructed Diagrams Verbal and Student-Constructed Diagrams Visual), which students completed in pairs with teacher scaffolding, followed by class-wide discussion. Every diagram from 4 chapters in the students' textbook (Postlethwait & Hopson, 2006) was scanned, and we wrote instructions for the three conditions. The topics covered in the 4 chapters were: DNA structure, protein synthesis, and inheritance patterns, and DNA technology.
For pragmatic reasons related to research in intact classes, and in consultation with the teachers at the school, we made slight modifications to procedures that are typically used in lab settings. For the SCD conditions, rather than giving students a blank sheet of paper, we provided partially-completed figures (with either parts of the figure or with words deleted) and asked students to complete them. For the self-explanation condition, we created a confused character (a guinea pig), who verbalized an incomplete or incorrect explanation of what was shown in the figure and asked students to discuss and then write down a better explanation in the workbooks.
Procedures. After obtaining parent/guardian consent, student assent, and student demographics, we pretested students in intact classes in single, whole-group sessions of about 45 min on the 2 measures of science knowledge and 2 measures of diagram comprehension. The intervention was implemented over 6 weeks. Students received a copy of the workbook in which they wrote answers to the workbook questions. Workbooks were stored in the classroom between class meetings to control for student exposure to the workbooks. The teacher provided his or her usual instruction and introduced each workbook exercise whenever he or she reached the corresponding image in the textbook. Students worked in pairs on the worksheets (26 to 28 double-page exercises total), with scaffolding available from the teacher, for approximately 5 minutes. This was followed by teacher discussion of and feedback on student answers, lasting another 5 minutes. Students were posttested on the same biology knowledge and diagram comprehension measures after 27 school days of daily instruction.
Data scoring and analysis. Student workbooks were scored for the maximum level of inference demanded by the workbook questions (SCD-Vis < SCD-Verb < Self-Expl) and the level of inference actually engaged by the students as a proportion of possible (SCD-Verb > SCD-Vis = Self-Expl). Interrater reliability for workbook scoring was high, Cohen's kappa = .95 (exact agreement = 96%).
Screening showed no violation of assumptions of normality (univariate or multivariate), linearity, or independence of observations within classrooms, nor were any outliers detected. Since the ICC for pairs was low (< .05), no adjustments were needed to protect against risk of Type I error. Analyses used 2 (Time) x 3 (Condition) repeated-measures ANOVAs evaluated at an alpha level of p < .05.
Statistical results are presented in Table 2 (see below).
For biology knowledge, students in the SelfExplanation and SCD-Verb condition showed significant growth in biology knowledge from pre- to posttest, but the SCD-Vis group showed no growth. Effect sizes for growth from pre- to posttest were d = .63, .04, and .68, for SCD-Verb, SCD-Vis, and SelfExpl, respectively. These findings are consistent with the treatment-testing modality match hypothesis, which predicted larger gains on a verbal posttest from the two verbal conditions, compared to the visual condition. These findings are not consistent with the generativity hypothesis, which predicted equal gains from the two generative conditions (SCD-Verb and SCD-Vis).
a) Growth in biology knowledge b) Growth in biology diagram scores
c) Growth in geoscience diagram (transfer) scores
For biology diagram comprehension overall scores, students in all three conditions showed significant growth. Effect sizes for growth from pre- to posttest were d = .30, .32, and .22, for SCD-Verb, SCD-Vis, and SelfExpl, respectively. For biology diagram literal subscale scores, students in all three conditions showed significant growth. Effect sizes for growth from pre- to posttest were d = .32, .27, and .17, respectively. For biology diagram inferential subscale scores, students in all three conditions showed significant growth. Effect sizes for growth from pre- to posttest were d = .32, .21, and .24, respectively. Effects were the same for literal and inferential subscales as for the measure as a whole, supporting the inference hypothesis. These findings for the biology diagram measure are inconsistent with the treatment-testing modality match hypothesis, which predicted smaller gains on a visual posttest from the two verbal conditions, compared to the visual condition. The findings are, however, consistent with the generativity hypothesis, which predicted equal gains from the two generative conditions (SCD-Verb and SCD-Vis). With respect to our hypothesis regarding inference, it appears that all three treatments do increase scores on the inferential subscale of diagram comprehension.
For geoscience diagram scores, students in the SCD-Verbal and SelfExpl conditions showed significant growth in geoscience diagram comprehension. Effect sizes for growth from pre- to posttest were d = .37, <.01, and .28 for SCD-Verb, SCD-Vis, and SelfExplanation, respectively. These findings are inconsistent with the treatment-testing modality match hypothesis, which predicted smaller gains on a visual posttest from the two verbal conditions, compared to the visual condition. These findings are also inconsistent with the generativity hypothesis, which predicted equal gains from the two generative conditions (SCD-Verb and SCD-Vis).
Implications for theory. The focus of our research was on comparing effects of self-explanation—a low-generative verbal technique which prompts inferences—to student-constructed verbal completion—a high-generative, verbal technique—to student-constructed visual completion—a high-generative, visual technique. We hypothesized that if the benefit of student-constructed diagrams is due to generativity, the Student-Constructed Diagrams Verbal and Visual conditions would show the same results on student learning. The two conditions showed equal effects only for the biology diagram subscales, but not for biology knowledge or geoscience diagram comprehension (far transfer). We also hypothesized that if the benefit of student-constructed diagrams is the visual nature of both the instruction and the posttest measure, then Student-Constructed Diagrams Visual would outscore both the Student-Constructed Diagrams Verbal and the Self-explanation treatment on visual posttests. This hypothesis was supported only for the biology knowledge measure, suggesting that it is not a tenable explanation for effects of diagram comprehension instruction. Finally, we hypothesized that if inference is the key to the success of both self-explanation and student-constructed diagram approaches, then all three treatments should show effects on inferential measures at posttest, but might not show effects on literal diagram comprehension items. This hypothesis was supported by data from the inferential subscale of the biology diagram comprehension measure, which showed equal, significant growth across all three conditions. However, we saw equal, significant gains on literal items as well. Overall, none of the findings are consistent with the generativity hypothesis. The common success of SCD Verbal and Self-explanation is most consistent with Inferential processing. Consistent with the self-explanation model, increasing student inferences—whether with SCD-Verbal or Self-explanation—can yield increases in knowledge, literal and inferential diagram scores, and transfer to diagram comprehension in an uninstructed domain.
Implications for practice. Our results suggest that medium-to-low ability students can benefit from direct instruction in diagram comprehension, but this instruction is lacking in most classrooms (Roth, et al., 2006). Despite the popular notion of students being "visually literate," these high school students were not very skilled at learning from visual representations, and became more skilled once they were taught how to reason with visuals. Regarding student-constructed drawing, the workbook scores suggest that our treatment did not demand as much inferential activity—and students did not engage in as much inferential activity—compared to the other treatments, and this may explain the lack of growth in biology knowledge and the geoscience diagram transfer measure. Future interventions should increase the cognitive demand of student-constructed drawing conditions. In all conditions, teacher scaffolding of student learning was a prominent component, consistent with Van Meter and Garner's (2005) literature review. Teachers need to be aware of the specific difficulties that students may have with each textbook figure, and this takes some effort on the part of curriculum developers and teachers. Finally, classroom discussion was an integral part of the intervention; the discussion in pairs during workbook completion was complemented by group discussion, where some students updated their answers after reflecting on the discussion. Researchers and schools wishing to implement such interventions should be sensitive to the need for curriculum materials, teacher professional development, and time for both workbook completion and classroom discussion.

A good off-season exercise to see if the RPI system done for, or was 2013 just an abnormally bad year.
You cracked the code for the secret ESPN RPI numbers? Well done.
so favorites get more expensive as the season progresses but our RPI differential actually goes down after the all-star game.
To win a $1000
Game-1, -195, $1950 to win $1000, if "A" game loses then
Game-2, -200, $5900 to win $2950, if "B" game loses then
Game-3, -170, $15045 to win $8850.
I believe the max MLB bet in Vegas is $5000, That means you would have to spread your "C" game bet over 4 separate bets to make a $1000 profit on the series. Does this seem correct?
I agree with your risk assessment. This chase system is not meant to be used for a static win amount. It works if you just collect small amounts based on the money line risk for each bet. That way when you lose a few series, your not wiped out. So you can make money with this system but you cannot make a living with this system alone.
Talking some big numbers here, much higher than my bankroll. I go a LOT less than that on the RPI system. I know people say you should never bet more than 5% of your bankroll on a single play, so I try to figure what that would be on a C game if I lost the A and B game at -200 each and C is -200. I try to have that C game bet be less than 5% or so of my bankroll. Not sure if that is right or wrong but it makes 7 system losses a little more tolerable as I didn't get wiped out.
Saturday results: Cincy wins on B game.
Record: 101-7
I was just giving you an example of what it could cost to win $1000 a game. your formula is very good for this system. Mine is similar except that I try to figure the "B" and "C" money lines by the "A" game money line and the probable starters for the "B" and "C" games. My main objective is the same as yours; to not have the bankroll allocated for this system wiped out by a poor season. Also, with proper money management, a good season takes care of itself.
Monday: We have LAD on the A game.
Monday results: LAD win on the A game.
Record: 102-7
Tuesday plays: Pitt and Tampa on the A game. Last two official plays of the season. Will post unofficial plays through September.

#1 Christmas Trees Are Surprisingly Depressing for Some12-17-2010, 02:41 PMChristmas Trees Are Surprisingly Depressing for Some
By Stephanie Pappas, LiveScience Senior Writer
posted: 16 December 2010 10:19 am ET
Here's a new twist to the annual "War on Christmas" debate: Reminders of Christmas can make religious minorities feel ill at ease even if they don't realize it.
When people who did not celebrate Christmas or who did not identify as Christian filled out surveys about their moods while in the same room as a small Christmas tree, they reported less self-assurance and fewer positive feelings than if they hadn't been reminded of the holiday, according to a new study.
The university students didn't know the study was about Christmas, said study researcher Michael Schmitt, a social psychologist at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada. Nonetheless, he said, the presence of the tree caused non-celebrators and non-Christians to feel subtly excluded.
"Simply having this 12-inch Christmas tree in the room with them made them feel less included in the university as a whole, which to me is a pretty powerful effect from one 12-inch Christmas tree in one psychology lab," Schmitt told LiveScience.
The researchers reported their results in November in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
Oh, Christmas tree...
Schmitt, who celebrates Christmas, was motivated to do the study by the now-yearly debates over Christmas decorations in public spaces. As a social psychologist, he said, it occurred to him that he could provide data on the effect of decorations, "rather than people just sort of speculating."
Previous studies have shown that the environment can have significant effects on people's moods and preferences. In one 2009 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers found that women report less interest in computer science after being exposed to stereotypically masculine, "geeky" rooms.
Schmitt and his colleagues took a similar approach to the Christmas study. They asked participants to fill out surveys about themselves while sitting in either a nondescript room or a room with a small Christmas tree.
In the first study, the researchers recruited student volunteers who had answered questions months earlier about which holidays they celebrated. Thirty Christmas celebrators and 22 non-celebrators took part in the study, which occurred around Christmastime.
The researchers then repeated the study with 16 Buddhist students, 19 Sikh students and 47 Christian students.
Most wonderful time of the year?
In both versions of the study, the Christmas tree failed to spread holiday cheer equally. Non-celebrators reported fewer positive feelings and less self-assurance in the Christmas room. Christians and celebrators, on the other hand, were mostly cheered by the tree, with one exception: Celebrators reported feeling more guilt when they were in the Christmas room. That finding suggests that even for Christmas-lovers, the holiday can be stressful, Schmitt said.
The religious minorities and non-celebrators weren't looking to be offended by reminders of Christmas, the study found. After the surveys, the researchers explained the goal of the experiment to the volunteers and asked each of them how they thought the presence of the tree might affect their mood. There was no difference between the responses of Christians and non-Christians or celebrators and non-celebrators. All thought Christmas decorations would make them happier.
The only people I know who are bothered by Christmas trees are people who have either lost their spouses in the last year, or lost a loved one during the Christmas season.
Or, my late crazy aunt (whom I loved), who would only have a Christmas tree if she covered it with christian symbols, because she didn't like the pagan history of the tree tradition.
BledaGuest12-17-2010, 05:21 PM
Maybe because Christmas means nothing to them (at least in the 'religious minorities' case)? If I were in a room with people celebrating a holiday that means nothing to me, I wouldn't really feel anything special. Kind of like having dinner during Ramadan. It's just another dinner to me. Nothing special about it.
I don't know why it would be depressing, though. And you don't have to be a Christian to celebrate Christmas these days. It's Christianity-"themed", maybe, but that's it.
I dunno. I used to have to cut through a lobby that always had a lot of Hanukkah decorations (no Christmas tree stuff at all) and it didn't bring me down.

Why put up a tiny 12" Christmas tree, and why was one Christian not cheered by this minature? I think the dummies that did this study should have put up a 6' tree. However, they may have wanted to come up their nutty results beforehand.

<—A Change of Plan for Olga Sydney Comes to London 1939 —>
My Great Aunt Martha was the oldest and not at all like her sisters, Becky and Lucy, either in temperament or looks. She was a short, stout woman with a badly pockmarked face – apparently the result of chicken pox. Every now and again nature produces an offspring that bears little resemblance to either its parents or siblings, well by all accounts, that was Martha Ross. My mother, Olga, told that in the early part of the 1930s Aunt Martha worked as a seamstress at the Drury Lane Theatre in London. Mum told me many times, she didn't like her Aunt Martha.
Olga's Diary (Continued)
Dear Diary
The wicked witch: Aunt Martha (AM) being horrible. Very bad tempered. There are two versions of her, the English version in Paddington (the true one) and the Jamaican version, when she's with Mammie in Kingston (the false one). She still says I'm eating too much and I have to eat less even though I've given her nearly all of my money and I don't think I have enough to last until Sydney comes.
She says I have to pay my way so I must clean the flat and do her washing and ironing. Now she's treating me like a servant.
"You might as well wash and iron Mr Kitchen's clothes the same time you do mine" she said.
"I'll do your chores, because I have the time, but I'm not doing his and if you insist then I'll write to Mammie and Sydney and tell them what you're asking me to do" I threatened.
"There's no need for that, Olga, just do mine".
Good job done, Olga, a small victory and very nice it feels too. Mr Kitchen is AM's latest "gentleman friend" and the pair of them go out drinking nearly every night. They always come home drunk and Mr Kitchen usually stays overnight (in AM's bedroom!) and I hear him creeping out of the front door early in the morning. Mammie and Sydney would be shocked if they knew.
AM says they're engaged to be married, but I don't think Mr Kitchen knows that.
Wonder what the neighbours think?
AM is cruel when she's been drinking. Told me that I would never get a husband.
"No man would find someone as plain and boring as you, Olga, attractive. Where were you when God was handing out the looks". She's not a very nice person, you know. I know I'm not as pretty as my sisters, but Mammie says I have other qualities which are more important than looks.
Should have said to her "where were you when God was handing out the looks". But that would have been unkind too and, anyway, after hearing her give Mr Kitchen a good few slaps with the frying pan the other evening, I stay in my room now when she's been drinking.
AM had chicken pox when she was a child and to stop her picking at the sores on her face her parents bandaged her hands. But AM still managed to pick them and as a result her face is badly pockmarked. She was teased a lot at school by the other children because of it and Aunt Lucy says that contributed to AM's "effortless transition from bad tempered child to a cantankerous, mean spirited woman". Had to look up in the dictionary what cantankerous meant and Aunt Lucy's got it dead right. AM's bad tempered and unreasonable.
To keep out of her way I spend a lot of time wandering around London and one day I was walking along Baker Street when this car hooted and when I turned round to see who it was, it was Roy McKenzie from Jamaica. I couldn't believe it, in fact, I didn't even know he was in London.
I immediately remembered that day when I was hanging from a tree by my knickers and felt embarrassed when we said hello, even though Aunt Lucy and Mammie had got me down from the tree before he saw me.
"Olga, look at you, you look good, how nice to see you". He seemed really pleased to see me,
He told me to hop in the car and he took me for a lovely drive around London. He asked me what I was doing in London and how long I was staying. I told him about the dance school and what I'd been doing since I arrived and he told me he ran a gambling and drinking club in London called the Frivolity. He knew I had a good singing voice and asked me to come down and sing at his club now and again. Because I had no money I was tempted. Maybe I'll pop down one evening I thought to myself, it might be fun.
I asked him if he thought there was going to be a war with Germany and he said he hoped not because it could be bad for his business.
He stopped the car round the corner from Chilworth Street and wrote down the address of the Frivolty on a piece of paper and handed it to me.
He asked me how things were going with Aunt Martha and I just shrugged my shoulders. He took out his wallet, which, by the way, was full of money, and took out one of the notes in it.
"Here, take this, but don't tell Aunt Martha you've got it or she'll talk you into giving it to her and, definitely, don't tell her that you've seen me. I've seen her operating in the Den of Iniquity and I don't want her in my club." I looked in my hand and there was a lovely big white £5 note. I hugged him. I told him Sydney would be over soon and would repay him.
"Remember, Olga, anytime you want to earn some money singing, you know where I am now". And then he was gone. I had such a lovely afternoon with Roy, but most of all it was comforting to know there was someone who would help me if I needed it.

Recipe for a summer in Spain: refreshing drinks
It's summer again, and you decide to arrange a trip to Spain. You've made absolutely the right choice: you can expect great weather, guaranteed sunshine and several days in which to discover the delicious Spanish gastronomy. And to accompany your dishes, what better than some of the cooling drinks that are typically served at this time of year, and are staples of the Spanish summer? Here are a couple of suggestions for drinks to order when you're in Spain:
-At lunchtime: a great way to accompany your lunches and dinners is with what's known as "tinto de verano" ("summer red wine"), a typical Spanish combination of red wine with fizzy lemonade or soda water. Other options: a delicious jug of sangria, with red wine, chopped fruit, sugar and –depending on the area and the local customs– a few "special touches" such as cinnamon or rum. And if you like the idea of combining wine with other drinks, a favourite with young people is what they call "calimocho" –red wine mixed with cola. And beer lovers shouldn't miss what's known in Spain as a "clara", or shandy –beer with fizzy lemonade or soda water, served ice cold. The ideal way to enjoy all these drinks is sitting on one of the terraces that are set up in summer outside numerous bars and restaurants in Spain as soon as the good weather arrives (and many of these are right by the beach).
-After the meal: what better to round off a really good meal than to enjoy a refreshing drink to recharge your batteries. Why not try a typical iced coffee? All you do is add sugar to the hot coffee and then pour it into the glass full of ice with which it is served. Another suggestion? Cream of orujo (a type of brandy) or pacharán (sloe liqueur) over ice. Delicious.
-Something for all ages: if you prefer alcohol-free drinks there's also a whole range of options to choose from. One favourite with both young and old alike, and very popular all over Spain (particularly in the area of the Region of Valencia) is the creamy drink known as horchata, which is made with water, sugar and tiger nuts. You'll love the taste, and particularly if you drink it accompanied by the long sweet pastries known as fartónes, an inseparable complement to this drink. And of course you have to try the sorbets, fresh citrus juices over crushed ice, fruit juices, lemonade, leche merengada, a drink made of milk, sugar, eggs, lemon and cinnamon, served ice cold, which is an instant hit with everyone who tries it.
-All over Spain: as well as all the drinks mentioned above, many areas in Spain have their own special drinks which are ideally suited to the hottest months of the year. Here are a couple of examples to whet your appetite: Valencia water, made with orange juice and cava; and the drink known as rebujito, typical of Andalusia, and which features a combination of dry sherry and fizzy lemonade or soda water.The food's on the table… just choose your drink!

A Zebulon man charged with sexually and physically assaulting a German woman for nearly a week while holding her against her will told a judge Tuesday that it is "all a big misunderstanding."
"I'm not a troublemaker," Robert E. Whiteside, 45, of 511 Mack Todd Road in Zebulon, told Wake County District Court Judge Vince Rozier. "All I do is work. I own my own business. I pay my bills. I want to find an attorney. If I'm in jail I can't do anything."
State records show that Whiteside is the president of Rouleau Enterprises Inc., which specializes in refinishing furniture.
Zebulon police have charged him with sexual servitude involving an adult victim (human trafficking) and two counts of assault by strangulation. Police say more charges may follow.

Wake prosecutor Boz Zellinger told the judge that Whiteside's bail should remain at $250,000 because of the severity of the charges and because he travels extensively.
"We are also trying to determine if this has happened before," Zellinger told the court.
Rozier lowered Whiteside's bail to $90,000.
If Whiteside posts bond and is released from custody at the Wake County Jail, Rozier ordered the court to place him under electronic house arrest and the judge forbid him from traveling outside the state until his next court date in July.
Zebulon police said Tuesday that an email message sent to the woman's estranged husband in Germany helped them locate the Zebulon warehouse where she was held captive for four days, strangled and sexually assaulted.
Whiteside agreed to meet Zebulon detectives at the warehouse at 511 Mack Todd Road on Monday. The victim, a 34-year-old German citizen who was born in Russia, was present in his vehicle when he arrived.
"Since she's been here in the United States, he was keeping her within arm's length of him at all times," Zebulon police Chief Tim Hayworth said at a news conference Tuesday.
An arrest warrant claims Whiteside "did knowingly maintain (the victim) in sexual servitude by the use of intimidation and use of physical force to procure sexual favors of a period of four days." It also alleges he feloniously inflicted serious injury to the victim, "bruising on the neck by strangulation wrapping both hands around the throat."
Police say Whiteside and the victim met online, after she responded to an advertisement he had posted seeking a companion or wife.
"I think she probably came here willingly with the idea that she's coming to America and she's met this nice guy on the Internet, and then when she got here things were not as rosy as depicted online," Hayworth said.
The victim was said to be in good health Tuesday.
Tracking down suspect
Hayworth said Whiteside took away the woman's financial and communication resources but that she managed to access a computer in the warehouse and email her husband in Germany, who in turn called Zebulon police about 8 a.m. Monday.
The email was short, according to police. The victim mentioned needing money and hinted that she was being held against her will, police said. It was enough to alert her husband that she was in danger.
"We began to follow up on ... partial names, names that we have of potential suspects and addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses," Hayworth said. "The email gave us some information that kind of pointed us not particularly at that building, but in that vicinity where we were able to use it to track down our suspect."
The warehouse is the smaller of several buildings on the property and is not visible from the road.
Criminal history
State records show that Whiteside is a native of Virginia who has lived in Roanoke Rapids, Gaston, Weldon and Raleigh in North Carolina, as well as in Illinois. He has a 22-page criminal history of mainly traffic charges, including driving while license revoked, expired registration and speeding, along with careless and reckless driving. He also has a previous charge for communicating threats, records show.
Rozier told Whiteside that if he is convicted of the sexual servitude charge he could spend a maximum of nearly five years in prison. He could spend an additional three years and four months behind bars for each count of assault by strangulation.
Police found computers, guns and a hidden room upon searching the warehouse, which Whiteside rents.
News researcher Peggy Neal contributed to this report.

Would the country be better off without a debt limit?
Maybe. Probably. Honestly, I don't know.
But I'm certain I would be.
If I didn't have a debt limit, I'd have a house in Malibu, and a Ferrari, and a Gulfstream, and … OK, yeah, I'm shallow and materialistic. So shoot me.
It's a silly question, though, right? I mean, we all have debt limits. (Well, maybe the sultan of Brunei doesn't.) Given that, the average American takes a common-sense attitude toward debt and applies it to the government.
But apparently, that's dumb.
As my colleagues Jim Puzzanghera and Don Lee wrote Tuesday (and as my colleague Jon Healey has written on several occasions), the debt limit of the federal government is a different animal than the debt limit of me, you and your Aunt Shirley in Des Moines.

Garden planted at Boys and Girls Club to commemorate program on Global Youth Service Day
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 25, 2012) – The ETSU women's soccer team continued to strengthen ETSU's mission of, "preparing students to become productive, enlightened citizens who actively serve their communities and our world," by participating in last Friday's Global Youth Service Day.
The Buccaneers commemorated the day by planting a garden at The Boys and Girls Club of Johnson City/Washington County, marking the end of the first SOCCER (Stopping Obesity in Children through Creative Education and Reinforcement) program. The program began in late January as the ETSU women's soccer team, ETSU College of Public Health, Youth Services America (YSA), and Boys and Girls Club teamed up to help local area youth create and implement hands-on programs to fight childhood obesity.
Every Tuesday and Thursday since the program's initiation, members of the ETSU women's soccer team have gone to the Boys and Girls Club to teach clinics in order to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors among the youth of Johnson City. The clinics included active soccer drills and scrimmages as part of the YSA's mission of fighting childhood obesity.
"I want to give a special thanks to our anonymous donor which provided funds for the SOCCER t-shirts and the new soccer equipment for the Boys and Girls Club," said Emma Apatu, a community outreach volunteer and Dr. of Public Health student at ETSU. "I also want to thank Lisa, Rodney and Junior from Home Depot for their support with the garden, as well as Master Gardner Natalie Manor from Carver Recreation for her gardening expertise and support.

A Time Capsule is a container storing a selection of objects chosen as being typical of the present time, buried for discovery in the future. At this moment in human history, four time capsules have been launched into space ? two Pioneer Plaques and the two Voyager Golden Records with the hope that other civilized spacefarers will find them. In 2014 the KEO satellite will be sent into space with individual messages from earthlings to be read by future earthlings when the satellite returns to earth in the year 52,000. Famous Time Capsule historian William E. Jarvis stated that time capsules are significant attempts to transfer cultural information across the millennia, however most are usually not very effective or educational because items placed in the capsules are either in pristine condition or tell little about the people of that time. [Jarvis, William E., Time Capsules: A Cultural History, 2002]
In the exhibit Time Capsule we attempt to surpass the conventional traits of such a capsule by considering the question: What does it mean to be human? What would you submit as a symbol of humanity? "Artworks" at smartloft apt&art are presented as a significant collection of objects, ideas, and documents from international visual artists. We explore how an offering of creativity could communicate with aliens and/or people of the future. Can art represent humankind to extraterrestrials?
The participating artists from Canada, France, Germany, Korea, Serbia, and the United States grapple with these questions in various artistic and conceptual forms. Each of the artists brings his/her own approach to formulating a notion of a cultural artifact preserved in book art, drawing, installation, performance, printmaking, photography, video, and sculpture. History, memory, heritage and time are several themes which are engaged. Additionally, the most famous unintentional time capsule Pompeii resonates with the show's intention that the best objects to be placed in a time capsule are idiosyncratic, handmade and significant to the individual who created them. Just like the compelling graffiti phrase "All the sleepyheads are voting for Petronius" found on a Pompeii wall is a relevant cultural artifact, our Time Capsule exhibition underscores not only does art matter, but also creative expression is a condition of being human.

Website Load Testing for Web Applications and YouI talk with hundreds of CIOs, CTOs, Testers, and Developers every month. These are the top3 issues they ask me about:
How Many Users Can My Website Handle?Performance testing identifies your Website's ability to achieve linear scalability. In a linear scaling system every user gets the same performance - no matter the number of users concurrently on the Website. If 100 people use the site concurrently they get the same speed as when 100,000 people use the same site.
Stress testing identifies how your Website will fail when too many users are on the site. How it fails is valuable for resource planning and disaster planning.
The best solution combines Website load testing technology with performance monitoring. An integrated solution correlates the load generated against a site by virtual users to the monitored resource statistics of the backend (CPU, network, and memory needs.) These performance solutions show how many users your Web site can handle before it slows and fails. Repurposing technology uses the same test to show how your Website will act as it fails. Look for a Linear Scalability Index chart is the fastest and easiest measurement of your Website's ability to serve 100 users to 5 million users.
Do I Have To Use Test Scripting Languages To Write Effect Tests?The alternative to writing tests in a scripting language is Record/Playback tools. These watch your use of a browser to create a test script for you. The downside is when it comes to test script maintenance. In the long-term a good object oriented approach to test development will reduce maintenance costs. For Selenium tests that means PageObjects. For Java that means jUnit.
But that does not solve the issue for testers that have little scripting experience and knowledge. For these cases I recommend a Record/Playback tool that exports test scripts in Jav, PHP, Ruby, Python, and other scripting languages. These make the need to tip into test scripting a little further off.
I recommend you search for a test script design tool that watches you operate a Website in Internet Explorer (IE,) Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. The tool should automatically handle wait/pause functions in the Ajax, Flex, Flash, Applets, and Oracle Forms in your Web pages. Your goal is to create reusable test objects for functional testing, load and performance testing, and production monitoring. Stay away from tools with Beginner/Expert modes because "expert" normally means complicated with hand-coding, and the scripting languages are often proprietary.
How Do I Manage Thousands of Agile Stories and Tests Effectively?Writing a few test scripts is easy. Supporting a dozen testers and 10 or more test suites means managing 100 or more tests. The hand-written back of an envelope and/or an Excel spreadsheet is not enough to scale-up your management of the test.
Agile test management services like Rally, Zephyr, QMetry, and InfoLink work around Agile stories, use cases, and tests. They make it easy to scale from a dozen tests to thousands. Connect test scripts to Agile stories to immediatly learn which tests have run (pass and fail,) which tests ran with slower than acceptable performance, and how the performance changes from sprint to sprint. Look for test management that integrates Website load testing from soapUI, Selenium, WebDriver, Sahi, jUnit, and TestNG.
Now that you know the top 3, consider learning more by reading my advanced report on Website load testing.

GREELEY, Colo.—A man who provided drugs to an 18-year-old high school graduate who overdosed and died in her sleep has been sentenced to 12 years in a community corrections program.
Twenty-one-year-old Derek Victor Perez was sentenced Friday in the death of Greeley West High School graduate Dallas Lee Bradford last year. Bradford's roommate told police Bradford had used cocaine and an unidentified crushed pill, both of which were provided by Perez.
Perez pleaded guilty in September to distributing a controlled substance.

ANITA DECKER BRECKENRIDGE, who was the Springfield-based downstate director for President BARACK OBAMA when he was in the U.S. Senate and is married to Taylorville native RUSS BRECKENRIDGE, is the new deputy chief of staff in the White House.
She had been named Obama�s personal aide � a job likened to being the gatekeeper to the president � in 2011.
�Anita has worked for Barack Obama since 2003 in a range of assignments and is someone who not only has the complete trust of the president but has given him candid counsel for years,� said White House Chief of Staff DENIS McDONOUGH via email from the White House press office. �She has impeccable judgment, extraordinary foresight, and the battle-tested resolve to help lead this White House for the next three years.�
A Kenilworth native, Breckenridge, 35, was a high school intern for U.S. Sen. DICK DURBIN, D-Ill, and later worked for then-U.S. Rep. LANE EVANS, D-Rock Island.
She met Obama when he was a state senator. Among her work for Obama was overseeing downstate regional offices when he was in the U.S. Senate. She helped manage his presidential announcement in Springfield in 2007, and worked in leadership roles in the campaign in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Virginia. She was chief of staff at the National Endowment for the Arts from January 2009 to May 2011.
�She�s incredibly capable,� said MIKAL SUTTON, who worked with Breckenridge in Obama�s Springfield office and is now legislative liaison for the Illinois Department on Aging. �I�m very excited for her.�
In Illinois, Breckenridge had become downstate field director for the political operation of former Gov. ROD BLAGOJEVICH in 2003. Russ Breckenridge took over as downstate field director for Blagojevich in 2005. He is now chief lobbyist for United Association, a national union that represents workers in the plumbing and pipefitting industries.
�Illinois will always be home, but we love living in DC,� Russ Breckenridge said via email. �This is an opportunity of a lifetime and we are enjoying every minute.�
He said that starting in 2003, Anita worked with Obama in an unofficial capacity to help set up his downstate political operation and introduce him to key party leaders and activists.
As White House deputy chief of staff for operations, Anita Breckenridge�s duties include overseeing personnel matters such as selection of Cabinet secretaries and senior administration officials and working to find candidates for more than 1,000 boards and commissions; working with the White House Military Office to oversee operations of Camp David and Air Force One; managing Oval Office operations; and coordinating federal responses to severe storms and natural disasters.
�Race is 50-50�
State Sen. KIRK DILLARD of Hinsdale, who was the overwhelming favorite for governor among Sangamon County voters who took Republican ballots March 18, said last week he thinks the race for governor is a tossup.
�There�ll certainly be a contrast between BRUCE RAUNER and PAT QUINN, but I think the race is 50-50,� said Dillard, who surely was helped to his nearly 62 percent showing by Democrats following union wishes to take GOP ballots. Rauner, who talked often of fighting �government union bosses� during the primary, got less than 17 percent in the county.
Asked if he�s for Rauner, Dillard said, �I support Republicans.� He also said, though, that �I feel sorry for Sangamon County, only because I would have been the best shot in the arm for Sangamon County residents.�
Lindley retires
Congratulations to JOE LINDLEY, who retired Friday from his post as Sangamon County supervisor of assessments.
Lindley, who turns 63 in June, has been with the office since 1993, and was appointed to be its leader in 1995.
�It�s been a great experience,� he said. �I�ve got a wonderful staff here to work with. Every day is something different. � I�ve met I can�t tell you how many thousands of people over 20 years. � It�s been rewarding to be able to help people, especially when it comes to property tax.� He noted that the tax is not everybody�s favorite subject.
The office oversees applications for the nine available property-tax exemptions including the homestead exemption. It also receives and reviews for accuracy assessment information from township assessors across the county.
Lindley and his wife, ELLEN, live in Rochester and have two grown daughters � one married and one soon-to-be � and a grandson in Chicago.
Lindley�s late mother, MARALEE LINDLEY, was Sangamon County clerk from 1980-86, and was director of the Illinois Department on Aging from 1992-1999.
VALERIE DUNLAP, 53, longtime chief deputy in the office, has been named interim supervisor of assessments, said BRIAN McFADDEN, county administrator. He said she could get an increase in salary during the interim period from the $57,025 she now makes annually, but it will not go to the level of Lindley�s salary of $73,437. McFadden said he expects a �seamless� transition due to Dunlap�s experience, and he also said advertising will begin soon to permanently fill the �very technical office.�
Remembering Howlett
Cook County Circuit Judge MICHAEL J. HOWLETT JR., who had a well-known name in Illinois politics as son of a former state auditor and secretary of state, was thrust onto the statewide scene himself in 1986 as running mate to gubernatorial hopeful ADLAI STEVENSON III.
The younger Howlett � who graduated from the old Griffin High School in Springfield � died March 16 in his Winnetka home following a bout with prostate cancer, Chicago newspapers reported. He was 65.
In the 1986 Democratic primary, backers of political extremist LYNDON LaROUCHE unexpectedly won nominations for lieutenant governor and secretary of state. Stevenson won the primary to be the Democratic nominee for governor, but formed a temporary third party � the Illinois Solidarity Party � to avoid being paired on a ticket with a LaRouche-backing lieutenant governor. Michael Howlett Jr. stepped down from an associate judgeship to join the Solidarity ticket to run with Stevenson. Given the turmoil on the Democratic side, then-GOP Gov. JIM THOMPSON easily won re-election that year.
House Majority Leader BARBARA FLYNN CURRIE, D-Chicago, was in the House and recalls campaigning with Howlett in �86.
�A more wonderful candidate, gentleman, human being I would never expect to meet in this life,� Currie said. �He was � smart and articulate, energetic, indefatigable, and just incredibly wise, way beyond his years. He was just a joy to be with on every level.�
Howlett lost a race for state Supreme Court in 1992, was appointed to the Cook County Circuit Court in 2005 and won election a full term on the bench in 2006. He was retained in the 2012 election with a nearly 77 percent vote.
The young Howlett spoke for the family at the 1992 ceremony in Springfield where the old Centennial Building in the Capitol complex was renamed for his late father, MICHAEL J. HOWLETT SR.
�My days continue to be brightened by people who come forward and relate the story of some assistance or a kind word that they remember as being important to them, and in some cases life-changing,� the younger Howlett said then.
Condolences to the family, including one of his brothers, BOB HOWLETT, who lives in Pleasant Plains.

This raunchy page-turner features Shaun McCreadie, a young police detective who finds himself on the wrong side of the law and implicated in a brutal home invasion. When McCreadie is released from jail 11 years later he is determined to discover the nature of the crime that put him away. Armed with $2.8 million in ill-gotten gains and his police street smarts, McCreadie grapples with murderous former accomplices, corrupt old cop buddies, and the seductive wife of a prominent lawyer in his quest to find answers. His investigations reveal the nefarious activities of bent cops, drug dealing, framing, and murder. Elements of crime, justice, and illicit affairs combine to form an intricately plotted, tightly structured, intelligent, and sexy work of fiction.

Peanut Butter Comfort by Averie Sunshine
This one is playing right into my weak spot. Peanut butter cookies, peanut butter cakes, peanut butter bars, peanut butter everything as far as the eye can see? Yup, that pretty much sounds like my version of heaven.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Averie Sunshine
• Who published it: Skyhorse Publishing
• Number of recipes: Over 100
• Recipes for right now: Peanut Butter and Jelly Puff Pastry Wheels, Marshmallow Butterscotch Fluffernutter Bars, Banana Bread Pudding Cake, Foolproof Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge, White Chocolate Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies, Banoffee Peanut Butter Pie Bars
• Major Takeaways: These are the kinds of recipes that you crave in the middle of the night. They are the kind that you take to a new neighbor or send back to the dorm with your favorite niece. They are the kinds of treats that come packaged with a very specific memory of being small and getting handed a special treat. And this makes me feel very happy, indeed.
Peanut butter, my friends, is also something of an ingredient ninja. Sure, it has your full attention when you put it in the spotlight, but Sunshine also shows how you can sneak PB in the proverbial back door where it adds moisture or helps bind a dough more than it adds flavor.
• Who would enjoy this book? PB lovers (obviously), parents raising the upcoming generation of PB lovers, bake sale mavens.

Denver's Tattered Cover Bookstores brand to come to DIA
Denver's renowned Tattered Cover Bookstores brand will appear in early 2014 at Denver International Airport under an exclusive license agreement with existing airport bookseller, Hudson News.
The agreement calls for construction of four Tattered Cover Bookstores, four Hudson Newsstands and one combination Hudson Newstand/Tattered Cover Bookstore in DIA's main terminal and three concourses.
"The Tattered Cover has been a Denver institution for over 40 years and we're proud to bring them to DIA," said chief commercial officer John Ackerman. "This unique concession agreement will combine a successful, existing operator with an iconic, local brand. We're excited to be able to offer this amenity to the traveling public."
A Denver City Council committee today unanimously voted to move the concessions contract for the endeavor to the mayor and full council.
Tattered Cover is an independent bookstore chain with three locations in Denver.
Hudson News, which is based in Switzerland, has 650 locations in the United States and Canada including 70 airports.
The opening date is February 2014. First-year sales are projected at $17.9 million and annual rent during the 10-year contract is $2.7 million. About 78 employees are envisioned.

You may break one of your toes by stubbing it, dropping something on it, or bending it. A hairline crack (stress fracture) may occur after a sudden increase in activity, such as increased running or walking.
Symptoms of a broken toe may include:
A broken toe is diagnosed through a physical examination. Your health professional will look for swelling, purple or black and blue spots, and tenderness. An X-ray may be needed to determine whether the toe is broken or dislocated.
Home care after breaking a toe includes applying ice, elevating the foot, and rest. Medical treatment for a broken toe depends on which toe is broken, where in the toe the break is, and the severity of the break. If you do not have diabetes or peripheral arterial disease, your toe can be "buddy-taped" to your uninjured toe next to it. Protect the skin by putting some soft padding, such as felt or foam, between your toes before you tape them together. Your injured toe may need to be buddy-taped for 2 to 4 weeks to heal. If your injured toe hurts more after buddy taping it, remove the tape.
In rare cases, other treatment may be needed, including:
Medical treatment is needed more often for a broken big toe than for the other toes. An untreated fracture may cause long-term pain, limited movement, and deformity.

After shooting with Chris O and Scotty Broome one morning, Chris got out on his wakeskate and absolutely killed it. Every lip trick you could think of on his first run. After that he landed 5 3-flips in a row, no lie. He said he kept wanting to get a bigger one and I was just freaking out cause I hadn't even seen someone do that trick on the lip. Chris is a cool, laidback guy that definitely lets his riding do the talking. He's been riding a lot on Lake Jessamine lately with Grubb and BT and all those guys are on fire right now. I think we will all be hearing a lot about Chris in 2009– Bryan Soderlind

Captain "Charlie" Talamachus Ulysses Barnard, A Creole Confederate of Color
Miguel Yrigoyen was stationed at the Spanish Royal Hospital, at Mobile, during the Colonial period. The surname Irigoyen / Yrigoyen was Gallicized to Gregorie, and later was Americanized to Gregory. There are a few documents which relate to Miguel Yrigoyen, one of which was a sale of land, in Mobile, in 1809, to Constance Hugon. The surname Yrigoyen / Irigoyen is of Basque origin.
1 comment:
Very interesting! Just some info: Telemachus' wife Rosanna's surname was Mooney, she was born in Ireland. He died in 1875. Their daughter Rosa Justina (Barnard) Krebs was my great-grandmother, I have a portrait of her on my wall as we speak. I'd love to know the citations for the Creole Guard history/information, thank you!ReplyDelete
