Orchard II // Reclaimed maple butcher block workbench top, combined with a whitewashed dimensional lumber base and a black pipe faucet create a beautifully contrasted washbasin. Add in the black pipe + butcher block shelving and this combo changes the feel of the entire room.
This vanity is perfect for an industrial-modern bathroom or washroom space. It combines the contrast of white, black, and beautiful maple colors to create a stunning, yet functional piece. The maple top has one coat of stain and four coats of Polyurethane - hand rubbed to a beautiful finish. The base is made from reclaimed dimensional lumber from a house, whitewashed with two coats of thinned latex ultra-white. To top it off, we've added a brushed stainless steel Decolav sink and a custom, two-handle black pipe faucet. The shelving was constructed from the remaining materials - black pipe for the structural arms and reclaimed maple butcher block for the shelving.
Like all Re:klaim tables, this table is 100% reclaimed/upcycled maple + dimensional lumber to continue an environmentally conscious effort to reuse.
Meet Basin #2 of the new Re:klaim Industriale line.

A welcome to Shenley Primary School
Dear families, friends and visitors
Shenley School has many strengths. There is a real sense of energy and pride from the pupils and the dedicated staff all working together with Shenley's families to provide fantastic learning experiences. It is my aim to ensure that everyone at the school feels part of this winning team, knows that they are valued and cared for, and are inspired to fulfil their potential to take their place in society as individuals who can make a real difference.
As a teacher for more than 18 years I have been very fortunate to work in several diverse and inspiring schools both here in the UK and in the USA. I believe that every child has the right to the highest quality teaching and deserves irresistible education. I hope to build on and develop more opportunities at Shenley that will broaden and enrich our children's development, such as the expressive and performing arts, and modern foreign languages (Shenley specialises in Spanish). I wish especially to embrace new ideas and modern technology to equip our learners with understanding for the future.
A child's success comes from a commitment to working in partnership with their families. I am always happy to meet with parents on any matter regarding their child or the school. You will be able to catch me on the playground `meeting and greeting' the children most mornings and after school, or alternatively an appointment can be made via the school office.
We hope you find the site useful, interesting and fun. We have designed it with children and parents in mind and we want it to be used not only by families who are already members of our community, but also by people who are moving into the area and are looking for a good school for their children.
Our school motto is:
"The Shenley Way - Happy - United - Inspired"

An important aspect of virtualization is the actual management: as an administrator, you want to have a single console for managing all your virtual machines and hosts. With software such as VMware's VirtualCenter, you can manage a complete ESX environment and add a ton of extra features (such as DRS, HA, intelligent placement, templates, etc). Microsoft's answer to the management question is System Center Virtual Machine Manager (also known as VMM).
This piece of software is your one-stop shop to all your Virtual Server 2005 R2 (and in the 2008 release) Hyper-V hosts and even your VI3 infrastructure. VMware's VirtualCenter can be added and so ESX hosts can be managed from within VMM. Virtual Machine Manager 2008 provides most VirtualCenter Server functionality including VMotion. More complex tasks such as adding hosts to an ESX cluster must be done using VirtualCenter itself.

About the Native Individuals – (Ya'ma-si)
The moment believed extinct, the most influential Native American Country has resurrected! The Yamasee Native Individuals very last noticed in Northern Florida has returned. Being termed one particular of the bloodiest wars of the creek Muskogee people the "Yamasee war of 1715"The Yamassee Native Individuals are historically prepared into heritage as one particular of the most monumental tribes for the duration of the wars of the 1700's. Continually fighting with the English & Spanish Colonist, for Independence & betrayal . Mainly recognized for the Yamassee War of 1715 the Yamassee Native Individuals are component of the Muskogee which is a comprise of many tribes that lived on the Mid west to the east coastline.
In accordance to their latest On-line Census files The Yamassee Muskogee Country are comprised, generally of Cherokee, Yamassee Pure Blood (From The South Carolina, Georgia & St. Augustine Region (Gentle's),Catawba, Choctaw, Comanche ( Texas, Nevada, Arizona), Seminole, Black foot, Shoshone, Iroquois, & Mechica ( Mexican Natives). Predominately all of the tribes that have been beneath the Muskogee Country safety at the time of the treaty as stated in the Treaty of Camp Holmes.And The Treaty of Savannah & The Indian Land treaty
In accordance to historical Knowledge and Textbooks prepared by A number of European Author's, the Yamassee have been believed to be extinct, dependent on the war of 1715, the Yamassee ongoing to have conflict with the English , And Spaniards, whom Both of those mis addressed the Yamassee Native Individuals, and tried Slavery. In these wars the Yamassee usually appeared to be capable to recruit other tribes to share in the war. Like the Apalachee tribe, Choctaw, Catawba, Seminole & Additional! Paperwork establish the Yamassee did not just take a shed by them selves, but the a great number of Yamassee bodies believed to be discovered in the struggle area have been that of their fallen Brother who stood beside them to help in the war as heritage shows. Many Resources Establish the mass genocide of the Yamassee to be incorrect.Re-Looking through heritage publications that make the claim of entire annihilation ,shows it was by no means definite all the Yamassee have been destroyed only Assumed. As in Present working day " Altamaha Cherokee" Descendants of the Yamassee stilling living in Present Day Georgia & Florida. Who has traced and Confirmed their Blood lineage to the Yamassee. There are also Evidence of Yamassee bloodline however in the St. Augustine, Tallahassee Region, however carrying their Tribal title of "Mild" that claim their " Yamassee Ancestor y "In accordance to Author J.H. Howard in a guide title" The Yamasee: A Supposedly Extinct Southeastern Tribe Rediscovered the Yamassee are living exactly where they at this time was very last claimed in heritage publications. This story of annihilation was also perpetuated on a one more tribe the Yamassee Mixed with and fought with. Who also had supposedly experienced the exact fate as the Yamassee, the " Apalachee Indians" have been also explained to be Extinct " Apalachee Extinct Estimate". But on the web exploration shows they are not extinct and have a Operating Govt beneath the steerage of Main Gilmer Bennett.
A substantial blunder of mass genocide and crafting a people off the publications be more than seemed. When latest proof shows the assertion "extinct" is certainly mistaken for the Apalachee Indians, who are by way of heritage Brothers, of the Yamassee and had a substantial range considerably less of tribal users than the Yamassee.
Rapidly forward to right now, there are many teams that claim the Yamassee title, & though we as natives are all related, one particular can disseminate the reality from the wrong with correct exploration of details & historical documentation. The Yamassee Muskogee Country of Florida has established to the planet that they are the present day manifestation of the legitimate Ya'ma-si (Mild) bloodline.
Our legacy was by no means shed, only taken out of the heritage publications.
Now Federally Acknowledged
The Yamassee Muskogee Country is Federally Acknowledged by "Circumstance Legislation" In California, in instances pertaining to Youngster Welfare instances, involving Yamassee Muskogee Native young children. To have a Courtroom of Capable jurisdiction and all the young children being wards of the Country. The Yamassee outlined according to Treaty rights, their sovereign status as a Acknowledged country beneath the Muskogee stock and Natives to the Land just before European Colonization and according to the Treaty of Camp Holmes, the treaty of 1707 Yamasee Indian Land Treaty, "Treaty of Savannah 1733" Signed by Tomochichi of the Yamacraw Yamasee. Also they Yamasee are aside of the Coweta Resolution. Note: The Treaty of Camp Holmes is one particular the only handful of treaties of Peace & friendship, which also includes the Mechica ( Mexican) Natives that are get together to the treaty. The Yamassee a short while ago filed a Intention to Petition, but has a short while ago rescinded that Petition, simply because they are Now recognized by Lestilature (Circumstance Legislation) and Treaties. They only want the land they The moment had, to be remaining by yourself to finish what they began by their ancestors. The Yamassee perpetuates entire autonomy, from the govt and Utilizes the UN Declaration of Indigenous Individuals.

Happy Monday!
Today was the day of our Student Council elections. The prepared speeches I heard today were all amazing and I am so proud of every one of my students who ran in the election. After listening to each student present, the students voted on who they would most like to be our Student Council representatives. Congratulations to our new representatives, Luke and Shamiyah!
We officially have one more week until Fall Break! This means that this week is jammed packed with lots of learning (especially since we missed two days last week). Here is what we will be doing this week:
Reading: We will be studying the differences between drama, poetry, and prose. Students will be given mini anchor charts to take home to study in order to prepare for the test on Friday.
Writing: We are continuing to work on our Narrative writing pieces.
Social Studies: This week we will finish up our study of Native American tribes. Students have completed a chart, as well as a Native American Tribes book. Students should be taking these two things home to study. We will have our test on Friday.
Math: In math this week, we will also be finishing up addition and subtraction using the standard algorithm. Our test on this will be on Friday, and I will be sending home a study guide tomorrow with every student. The study guide does not have to be turned in and will not be graded. We will also begin to talk about finding the perimeter of an object.
Spelling: Spelling words are back this week! Our words this week are months, days of the week, and titles. The spelling test will be on Friday. Spelling packets were given to students today and as always, the words are available to study on my Spelling City page.
Don't forget that extra credit math projects will be due the Monday we return from break (October 2nd). No late projects will be accepted.
If you have any questions or need to reach me for any reason, please try to send me an email sometime this week. I will not be available to check my email over the Fall Break.
Thank you and have a wonderful rest of the week!
-Ms. Allison

A sari, saree, or shari is traditionally worn by females in the Indian subcontinent, mainly in India. A saree is a strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from 4 to 9 metres in length that is draped over the body in various styles. The most common style is for the saree to be wrapped around the waist, with one end draped over the shoulder to expose the midriff and stomach region. The saree is usually worn on top of a petticoat or a chaniyo, with a blouse forming the upper garment.
The word 'saree' evolved from the Prakrit word 'sattika', as mentioned in earliest Jain and Buddhist literature.
The history of Indian clothing traces the saree back to the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), which flourished during 2800-1800 BCE around the Western part of the Indian subcontinent. The earliest known depiction of the saree in the Indian subcontinent is the statue of an Indus Valley priest wearing a drape.
It is generally accepted that wrapped saree-like garments, shawls, and veils have been worn by Indian women for a long time, and have been worn in their current form for hundreds of years.
Two essential parts of attire that go along with the saree need to be chosen carefully to complement the beauty of this garment. These are:.
This is a waist-to-floor garment tied tightly at the waist by a drawstring. The petticoat colour should match the base saree colour as closely as possible. Of course, no part of the petticoat is visible outside the saree after having worn it.
This needs to be tight-fitting and a colour that matches well with your chosen saree. Your blouse can be short-sleeved or sleeveless with a variety of necklines, and will end just below the bust.
To comfortably wear your saree, simply tuck the plain/upper end into the petticoat at a position that is a little bit to the right of the navel. Make sure that the lower end of the saree is touching the floor, and that the whole length of the saree comes on the left-hand side. Now wrap the saree around yourself once, with the saree now coming back in the front, on your right side.
Starting at the tucked-in end, make about 5 to 7 pleats of equal width of 5 inches. Gather the pleats together neatly, ensuring that the lower edge of the pleats is even and just off the ground. Also, make sure that all of the pleats fall straight and evenly. A safety pin may be used to stop the pleats from scattering.
Neatly tuck the pleats into the petticoat at the waist, slightly to the left of the navel, in such a manner that they open to your left. Then drape the remaining fabric around yourself once more left to right, and bring it round your hips to the front, holding the top edge of the saree. Slightly raise the remaining portion of the saree on your back, bringing it up under the right arm and over the left shoulder so that the end of the saree falls to about the level of your knees.
The end portion that is draped from the left shoulder onward is called the pallav or the pallu, and can be prevented from slipping off the shoulder. All you have to do is simply fasten it at the shoulder to the blouse with a small safety pin.
The saree is usually wrapped around the waist, with the loose end of the drape worn over the shoulder and baring the stomach. However, a saree can be draped in several different styles, although some styles do require a saree of a particular length or form.
The Nivi style is today's most popular saree style. The Nivi drape starts with one end of the saree tucked into the waistband of the petticoat. The cloth is wrapped around the lower body once and then hand-gathered into even pleats just below the navel. The pleats are also tucked into the waistband of the petticoat. They create a graceful, decorative effect that poets have likened to the petals of a flower.
After one more turn around the waist, the loose end is draped over the shoulder. The loose end is called the pallu or pallav, and is draped diagonally in front of the torso. It is worn across the right hip and over the left shoulder, partly baring the midriff.
The navel can be revealed or concealed by the wearer by adjusting the pallu, depending on the social setting in which the saree is being worn. The long end of the pallu hanging from the back of the shoulder is often intricately decorated. The pallav may be left hanging freely, tucked in at the waist, used to cover the head, or simply used to cover the neck by draping it across the right shoulder as well. Some Nivi styles are worn with the pallu draped from the back towards the front.
Nowadays, the typical bride already has her wedding day prepared long before she meets the perfect gentleman. There are different
outfits available for brides, from beautiful, flowing sarees to lenghas that start from approximately £500 as luxurious items. These are also worn in a typical fashion, however instead of draping, there is a skirt, top, and dupatta.
While an international image of the 'modern-style' saree may have been popularised by airline stewardesses, each region in the Indian subcontinent has developed its unique saree style over the centuries. Here are some well-known varieties on the basis of fabric, weaving style, or motif in South Asia:
Northern Styles
Central Styles
As for Southern and Eastern styles, they have far too many to even begin to describe.

International Social Service, USA Joins the #GivingTuesday Movement
Baltimore, MD, (November 28, 2016) – International Social Service, USA has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide.
International Social Service's goal on #GivingTuesday is to inform more people about the critical needs of vulnerable children and families moving across borders and to raise additional funds to serve more children and families in need. International Social Service strives to achieve its objective of supporting, protecting, and reuniting 3,000 individuals in 2016.
Every dollar contributed on #GivingTuesday will improve the lives of vulnerable children moving across borders by:
- Answering a social worker's complex cross-border technical questions
- Protecting a vulnerable child or adult in imminent danger overseas from abuse or neglect
- Enabling an adult adoptee to meet their sibling for the first time
- Helping a child in foster care find a permanent family
Occurring this year on November 29, #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the U.S. and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday to kick-off the holiday giving season. #GivingTuesday inspires people to give back in impactful ways to the charities and causes they support.
92Y − a cultural center in New York City, conceptualized #GivingTuesday as a new way of linking individuals and causes to strengthen communities and encourage giving. In 2015, #GivingTuesday brought together over 45,000 partners in 71 countries and helped raise nearly $117 Million online in the U.S. alone. Henry Timms, founder of #GivingTuesday and Executive Director of 92Y stated, "As we embark on our fifth year of #GivingTuesday, we are encouraged by the early response from partners eager to continue making an impact in this global conversation."
Those who are interested in joining International Social Service USA's #GivingTuesday initiative can:
- Give back by visiting www.iss-usa.org and clicking donate or by mailing a check to International Social Service's office: 22 Light St., Suite 200, Baltimore MD 21202
- Spread the word about #GivingTuesday on social media by posting why you choose to give back on Facebook and Twitter and by tagging @InternationalSocialServiceUSA on Facebook and @ISS_USA on Twitter
For more details about the #GivingTuesday movement, visit the #GivingTuesday website.
International Social Service, USA Branch is the U.S. member of a global child protection and social service network. ISS-USA connects vulnerable children, adults, and families, separated by international borders, to the services and support they need.

The NC State tournament was actually two tournaments: the NC State Championship and the NC State Rookie Challenge. In the NC State Rookie Challenge, only rookie teams could win. The NC State Championship was held in December while the Rookie Challenge was held January 10th. We volunteered to help out with the second tournament since we could not compete in it and frankly, we still haven't gotten enough of First Lego League.
We saw some very impressive rookie teams including The Barracudas, a team that built a folk lift robot, and won 1st place for their Innovative Design. It was unlike any other robot that we have ever seen. Clark noticed it first and said "Wow – I don't think that we could have built something like that our first year!"
Another rookie team, Mechanical Mayhem, pulled a 235 on the robot challenge. They were a home schooled team and we asked Coach Brown (of the Spacebots) about how much time they had put into getting such a high score (and learning NXT/G). He said, "Probably as much time as you did." They won two trophies (Robot Performance and Robot Quality) their first year! Unreal! I know it is the rookie challenge but they could have gotten third place on the table with that score in the State Championship! How about that?
Another impressive rookie team was The Charlie Bytes. We had talked to them about possibly helping them out during the season as they said that they felt that they were having trouble. We could never find a time that worked out. No trouble there except for other teams! They won a first place trophy.
Finally, we met Chris of the Magellan Mariners (see Brush with Greatness) who had a video clip of our team and his in the alliance round on his phone. We were soooo small!
Marie Hopper and Tom Settle did a great job organizing this tournament! They have definitely become new friends of the Microbots. What a great day we had! Tad said, "I want to volunteer to help out with the Rookie Challenge again next year!"

How to Clean Your Oven with Natural Products
Your oven tends to be one of the dirtiest appliances in your home, because almost every food you put in it will end up covering its interior with a layer of grease. Many people often ask about the best way to clean your oven, because they know that getting rid of all that excess grease and residue is the only way to keep this appliance from becoming a perfect breeding ground for microorganisms.
Nowadays, there are tons of oven-cleaning products on the market, but they are not always your best option. These products tend to be full of toxic chemicals, and oftentimes aren't as effective as other types of cleaning methods. One great option for properly cleaning your oven and getting rid of all that grease is to use natural products.
Natural products are a great cleaning alternative. In addition to being very effective at getting rid of grease and other residue, they are environmentally friendly and do not cause any type of pollution. Below, we've outlined a few of the best options to clean your oven with natural products.
You can use salt in the kitchen for much more than adding flavor to your dishes. This affordable, accessible product can be very useful if you want to disinfect and clean your oven with natural products.
How can I use salt to clean my oven?
In a bowl, mix ½ liter of water and 250 grams of salt. Then, spread this mixture on the walls of the oven, especially in areas with lots of stains and splatters from greasy foods. Let the product set for 15 to 20 minutes and rinse it off with a wet sponge.
If you choose to use this method, it may leave your oven with a foul smell. To get rid of that smell, mix ½ liter of white wine vinegar and 250 grams of salt. Mix these ingredients together until the salt has become completely dissolved and pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Spray the oven walls with this liquid and let it set for a few minutes. Finally, remove the residue with a wet sponge.Lemons are a great anti-bacterial and anti-septic product that can help get rid of the microorganisms that build up in your oven when it is dirty. Plus, the fresh smell of lemons will help get rid of any foul odors, and this fruit is very effective in cutting away at grease.
How can I use lemons to clean my oven?
If you're looking for an easy way to clean your oven, just cut two lemons in half and squeeze out the juice. Then, pour that juice into a pot and put that pot in the oven. Set your oven to 250ºC and set the timer to 30 minutes. After this amount of time has gone by, let your oven cool down and then remove the pot and wipe down the walls of your oven with a cleaning rag.
Vinegar is another product that is very well-known for its natural cleaning properties. You can make these properties even stronger by mixing vinegar with baking soda to clean your oven.
How can I use vinegar to clean my oven?
Mix an ample amount of apple cider vinegar with baking soda and pour the mixture into a spray bottle. Then, spray the oven walls with this liquid and leave the oven on at 120ºC for ten minutes. Let the oven cool down and wipe the excess residue off with a wet sponge.
Baking soda
Baking soda is a natural product that has tons of uses, both in the kitchen and as a natural remedy. In terms of home cleaning, it is also a great way to get your oven looking brand new.
How can I use baking soda to clean my oven?
Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with one cup of water. Pour this mixture into a spray bottle and spray the oven walls. Let this cleaning mixture set overnight and wipe it off the following day with a sponge.
Another option is to mix one cup of baking soda with a bit of water until a paste is formed. Use a cloth to spread this paste on the oven walls and let it set for approximately two hours. Once this amount of time has passed, remove the paste with a sponge.

ServletExec is wrong. XML tags can't contain multiple attributes with the same name; since the JSP spec is trying to be XML compliant as much as possible, it makes sense that this is not allowed.

The Six Billion Dollar Man
Nobel Peace Prize Winner Muhammad Yunus On Turning Microfinance Into a Macro Aid
For years, Muhammad Yunus was discussed as a potential winner of a Nobel Prize. "I kept hearing it for 15 years, that I was going to win either the peace prize or in economics," recalls Mr. Yunus, who pioneered microcredit -- lending small amounts of money to very poor people as a way to lift them out of poverty. "After a while, I just pushed it out of my mind."
But the Norwegian Nobel Committee didn't forget, and last year awarded the 67-year-old economist and the Bangladesh-based microfinancing institution...

When this movie came out in the theaters, I "kinda" wanted to see it, but passed on the opportunity because I just didn't think it was worth $10.00. When it hit the store shelves, I "kinda" wanted to buy, but passed because I just didn't think it was worth $15.00. Now that it's free to watch on Starz, and a free download on Directv, I think it's the perfect price to watch!
Here Comes The Boom is actually a VERY GOOD movie. Coming from the brain of Adam Sandler, your first instinct would be that you're about to watch a slapstick comedy like Happy Gilmore. But a slapstick comedy is exactly what "Here Comes The Boom" is not. This flick is more of Rocky type of movie that follows a teacher as he enters in MMA contest to save his school music program. The direction and storytelling are good and honest. The cinematography is extremely good. I mean really good. Especially that last fight scene. The fight scenes also looked very realistic, as though real punches were being traded.
After seeing Here Comes the Boom, would I buy it? Probably not. I only buy epic blockbuster movies such as Ironman or Thor. But it's a great movie that I would probably download for free again and watch it with friends and family.

Well, Bane has his fiftieth holocron and now he's on his ship going back to homebase. All of the hyperspace paths have collapsed in the short amount of time that he has been on Andeddu's planet, making his return trip longer than expected and this writing device of stalling affords Bane the time to study the holocron on his way back home. Hilariously Andeddu's holocron puts up a fight and tells Bane he's not worthy of learning the secrets of immortality.
Bane throws a small tantrum and figures well whatever, I just got done watching Hackers anyway, and proceeds to hack the holocron. Obviously he is successful but the success drains him of energy and he sleeps the rest of the way home.
On a bit of lore-trivia (finally, something worth noting): The key to immortality is to actually take over someone else's body. The person must dominate their victims mind but the victim must also have a body strong enough to withstand all the dark energies being forced into it. If you fail, your mind ends up in a void. Bane likens this to the forcebomb void that he tricked so many stupid jedi and sith into.
Set Harth wakes up and gets recruited by Zannah as her apprentice should she manage to kill Darth Bane. She recruits him despite how apparent it is to her that he does not give a damn whatsoever about the sith or their goals. She figures he'll learn to love her dark ways. Set is a complete jerk to her but she lets it slide. The whole "I will not be the cruel man my father was" just doesn't sit quite right in Sithland.
Zannah decides that now is the time to defeat Bane, and takes off for home.
Except! The Huntress and 20 mercenaries are waiting for them at their secret lair! The Huntress (I wish she had a name) runs across Bane's personal holocron and nabs it despite her tendency not to take personal belongings on jobs. It just felt… right to her. One of the mercenaries is all hey huntress I heard you can see the future do we live? In her mind she sees his broken back and him dead on the floor. Her response? Yeah some of us come through. So cold.
Bane arrives at home but of course he's still conveniently drained from haxoring the holocron and is defeated by the Huntress and her entourage. They take him alive and the huntress takes his lightsaber as a memento.
Then Zannah shows up and realizes something is wrong and she and Set take a ship to Doan to track down Bane and whomever captured him.
Back on Doan, the princess has discovered an old prison built beneath the palace called the Stone Prison. You might be wondering why it has such a mysterious name; don't think too hard about it. Also it has a system set up to collapse the entire structure should anyone try to escape. I imagine that will happen in the near future. Well, Serra, Lucia and the Huntress go to hang out with Bane in the prison. Serra keeps injecting him with poisons and antidotes and Lucia is just oh my god it's Des! Who knows what the Huntress is up to; I think she's a candidate for Bane's new apprentice. Bane pisses Serra off and she exits the room, leaving the Huntress and Lucia alone with him.
Best Moment: That guy that the Huntress saw dead on the ground? He dies, alright. From a couch that Bane sends flying into him. BAM! Couch death.
Worst Moment: What the hell. Bane is all about making the sith the most powerful force in the galaxy and is determined to destroy the jedi but the way people recruit apprentices in his mind needs some helpful criticism. How did Zannah get picked? She threw a temper tantrum over the loss of a pet and killed two jedi. And Set? What, he Oscar Wilded his way into being a floozy that is so narcissistic that he was mistaken for being evil? Set is never going to propel the sith into some golden age, Zannah. Get with it. He's just not that into you.
(ooooh, book pun)

If your business is open to the public, you have a duty to exercise reasonable care in keeping customers safe. Among other things, exercising reasonable care involves keeping floors and sidewalks dry and free of hazards, using wet floor signs and maintaining good housekeeping.
When slips, trips and falls occur on your business premises, you could be found liable for the injury if you are unable to prove that you fulfilled your duty of care. While many of these injuries are legitimate, some claims of slip and fall are fraudulent and result in large payouts. For these reasons, a prompt and thorough investigation is crucial.
Medical Treatment
After a fall, your customer's safety and well-being is the first concern. To ensure that no injuries are missed – and that all injuries are accurately documented right away – it's important to find out the injured person's condition and to call for emergency treatment if needed. Write down the person's name and contact information, as well as a description of the injury and any resulting pain. If emergency treatment is not required, ask about the person's treatment plans.
When a slip and fall accident occurs, you need to document the incident and the area where it occurred. An incident report should be filled out as soon as possible. The more time that passes, the more people will forget or misremember. Take photographs of the area. Gather names and contact information from any witnesses present – both customers and employees.
Be sure to note key details, including the type of flooring, any hazards, weather conditions, spilled or leaked water, lighting conditions and the presence of any caution signs. Remember that you may need to prove that you took reasonable care. If floor monitoring or housekeeping logs are available to illustrate your diligence, provide them to your insurer.
If security camera footage exists, this will be helpful to determine what happened and whether it's possible the accident was staged. Depending on your company's policy, you may want to alert your insurer of the potential for a claim and provide the gathered information.
Admission of Guilt
When a slip and fall occurs, managers and other employees should respond with concern and compassion. They should not, however, respond with admissions of guilt. Even seemingly innocuous statements can undermine a future case. Do not say that you should have been able to prevent the fall. Do not discuss previous issues. Simply provide the necessary help and thoroughly document the incident.
The best claim is the one that never happens. To minimize the chance of slips, trips and falls at your business, be sure to take the following precautions:
- Monitor the premises regularly for any problems.
- Clean up spills and leaks promptly, and put out caution signs when floors are wet from cleaning.
- Put out caution signs when weather conditions could lead to wet and slippery floors.
- Fix holes, cracks, loose carpet or other hazards promptly.
- Clear walkways of hazards, including wires and other items that could cause people to trip.
- Provide adequate lighting.
- Thoroughly train all employees in slip, trip and fall response procedures, and provide monthly reminders so no one forgets.
By taking these basic precautions, you can keep customers and employees safer, fulfill your duty of care and reduce the frequency of claims. If you'd like help developing slip and fall procedures for your employees, contact Higginbotham for information about our safety programs.

The Act Respecting the Funding of Certain Pension PlansLinkedIn
There, in black and white
NB Bulletin Vol. 8 N. 9, July 2005
On June 17, 2005, the National Assembly passed Bill 102, an Act respecting the funding of certain pension plans ("Act").
Our May 2005 Bulletin ( Vol. 8, No. 8) outlining the proposed temporary measures aimed at easing the funding of certain pension plans can be consulted for added details.
The Act further describes the transitional rules for 2005. If a pension committee requested an actuarial valuation before June 17, 2005, the committee has 30 days to notify the employer in writing, i.e., until July 17. If the pension committee requests an actuarial valuation after June 17, 2005, the committee must notify the employer within 10 days of the decision. Within 30 days of the notification, the employer may issue instructions regarding the valuation date, consolidation of solvency deficits and easing of amortization requirements.
In all cases where the employer issues instructions before August 16, 2005 the following conditions apply:
The Act also contains an additional provision to accurately coordinate with legislative provisions specifically applicable to the municipal sector.
On May 24, the Régie des rentes du Québec announced a public consultation on the long-term funding of pension plans. It also provided some background information in a working paper entitled Toward Better Funding of Defined Benefit Pension Plans, available on its Web site at www.rrq.gouv.qc.ca/en/programmes/rcr/consultation_financement. Individuals and groups interested in participating in this consultation are encouraged to make their comments known no later than August 15, 2005.

Spring has sprung and with it rain and tall grass. So, this morning after dropping the kids at school and switching a load of laundry, I set out to cut the grass. This is more difficult than it might appear, due to the resident mole hunter (aka Shiloh, the beagle). He follows mole (or is it vole) tunnels, digs the critters out and kills them. However, he never refills the tunnels, so our backyard is full of 8 inch deep canyons. Sadly, my encounter with one of these tunnels has injured the self-propelled mechanism on the mower and I was only able to accomplish 2/3 of my task.
So, since dinner's in the slow cooker and laundry only requires a bit of attention, knitting is on tap for this afternoon. I am glad I used a needle a size larger for the legs of my socks. I tried them on yesterday and they were a bit snug. Any smaller and they might be too snug over the heel!

It was an absolutely delightful surprise to get so many comments on my last post. A post that, frankly, I thought no-one would see. After all, its been two years since there was anything here to bother about. Thanks so much for your kind words. So, I do want to blog. But not here. Id like a bit of a fresh start. And the blogging software on which this blog is built is creaky and not fun to wrestle down. I am continuing this blog over at the new Claudias Blog. I would be so happy if you would join me over there by changing your feed readers to that new bloggy address. Until I figure out a better way, this blog will stay up so that if anyone needs anything from the archives, they are here for you. See you over at the new place!
tap. taptaptap. Is this thing on?
For a number of reasons, its the right time to shut down this blog. I have really appreciated everyone over the years who has stopped by here and left a comment or participated in the various undertakings that have gone on here. Through this medium, Ive made good friends and had many good times. Thanks for everything!
Every so often when I do the laundry, a handknit husband sock comes out of the washer having given its life for the cause. In an odd twist of fate, these socks died on Monday -- the four year anniversary of their birth. Although I cant fault the Koigu sock yarn that I used for the heel since it lasted through four years of hard wear, in the future I plan on making husband-heels with a wool-nylon blend. Yes, I know that I could darn these socks. But that prospect doesnt appeal to me at all. Id rather just hurry up and finish the current pair of husband socks and then start in on a replacement Socks-That-Rock pair. Kimba spends alot of her time sleeping on the water heater in the basement. When shes not doing that, she is begging for her ghetto-kitty-water-fountain a/k/a the basement sink. Why she likes to have water running off her head, Ill never know. But it makes me laugh every time.
Ive discovered, much to my chagrin, that sun-soaked beach vacations in the winter leave me crushingly depressed upon my return to the frozen. The solution to this is to take a winter ski vacation and thus change ones mindset towards the inevitable snow and cold. A little cross-country ski-skating was just the ticket on a warmish winter day in New Hampshire. Hey, if I was going to do something called "Coronary Hills", I wanted there to be proof. In the interests of full disclosure, we did this from the easy side with lots of downhill instead of all the uphill. We may have been just crazy enough to take a dip in the outdoor pool. I always strive on every vacation to do something Ive never done before, and this was it for this mini-vacation. Fun! Except for the getting out of the pool part...brrr. Now its back to work, but I hope after this small break that I can muster a bit more enthusiasm for what is left of this winter.
There has been no end to the snowstorms this winter. As I sit here and look out my window, the snowbanks are so high that I cant see trucks driving by on the street. Trying to keep my spirits up, but Im sure hoping that the groundhog is right! My husband informed me that a strange icicle was growing underneath the deck stairs, so I had to check it out. How could this have happened? Even Kimba is hunkered down in the warmest part of the house, waiting for it all to end. There havent been very many cat pictures on this blog lately because Kimba isnt into modeling for the camera. However, she is doing fine, and frankly doesnt appear to miss Igor one little bit. "Igor, who?" says Kimba. Tough crowd. Thanks for stopping by to check in. Its lovely to have your virtual company as Im hunkering.
All is not lost on this putative knitting blog. Apparently I still occasionally pick up the needles. It has taken me well over six months to finish just one plain Koigu sock for the husband. And, frankly it took a weekend away in the country staying with friends that dont have internet access to giterdone. There was a lovely snowshoe up a small mountain and many nice meals. All in all, quite a good weekend. My tweaked left foot is now better enough to allow me to run on it, but the weather has been so snowy that the treadmill in the gym is my only recourse. This isnt as fun for me as is running outside, but Ill take what I can get. An easy pace at 3.1 miles in 33 minutes on Saturday. Hoping to get two runs in this week. Another excellent thing about taking up running is the opportunity to buy cute running clothes. Running shorts and cunning technical pullovers for the win!
A post by Jodi inspired me to share my intentions for 2011 here, on my knitting blog with little knitting content. She summed up for me my hesitancy in talking about my weightlifting and exercise stuff here, so no need to repeat it. If you are interested, great. If not, I respect that. Its not knitting, but its where my head is at right now. 1. Not get injured. Sadly, the day after I made this intention I lost my concentration while holding a heavy barbell and slightly shifted my heel resulting in a minor tweak of a muscle in the arch of my foot. Its feeling better, but I wont be running on it for another few days. 2. Continue to fit into my Hudson jeans. Trust me, there is zero room for weight deviation here. Yup, I am a vain person and I accept this about myself. I reach my goal weight every day by not eating much sugar, flour or starchy carbs and eating lots of lean protein, fruits and veggies. For the better part of two years, my mind has been made up that fitting into these jeans feels better than any food tastes. Its a lifestyle choice, not a diet. 3. Run a 5K race fast. I took up running for the first time in my life on December 2, 2010 - the day after I turned 46 years old. I can run 3.8 miles at about a 10 min./mile pace without much huffing and puffing, due to 20 years of cycling training no doubt. But I am trying very hard not to go too far, too fast, too soon. Running is a different stress on my body than Im used to, and I respect that. See my number one goal. 4. Get a 200 lb. sumo deadlift. This requires me to add 15 lbs. to my best deadlift. I really love being powerful and strong enough to have this as an achievable goal. 5. Get a 135 lb. squat with good form. I know I can squat 130 lbs. with horrible, terrible form, but thats not what Im looking for. This goal requires me to go into the gym and do something day after day, week after week and month after month that Im not good at and for which progress is as slow as a snail on valium. Its primarily a mental challenge, but Im good with that. 6. Get a 100 lb. bench press. I need 8 lbs. more for this one. At my weight and strength level, I fight hard for every 1/4 of a lb., so this modest-seeming goal will likely take all year. 7. Get a 70 lb. military press. A military press is where you press a barbell from shoulder level straight up over your head. This is probably the hardest goal of them all. I SUCK at these. I dont actually have any knitting intentions. Id like to knit more, but actually wanting to do so seems rather out of my control at the moment so Ill let that be for now.
For many years, my husband has wanted to spend New Years Eve at the First Night event in downtown Boston. For many years I have resisted on account of I really hate crowds. But this year, with the fine warm weather and all, I decided "what the hell." The giant fish float during the parade. We saw the parade, heard the fireworks from the pub, ate lots of junk food and generally had fun. Best of all, I was sound asleep before 11 PM. Just like I like it! My very best wishes for a safe and happy 2011!
To those of you who wouldnt believe that I actually bought a Santa hat without seeing a picture, here you go: The sweater I have on is a bolero that I finished some time ago. Its spent the past three years sitting in my closet, unworn. I had a few holiday parties to attend this past weekend and wanted something festive to wear, and this sweater came to mind. However, when I tried it on the heavy glass button just didnt work. So I cut it off and fastened the fronts together with a shawl pin that I also bought years ago at Maryland Sheep and Wool and have never worn. Voila, new sweater. Or thats what it feels like to me. It is now time for me to put together my tiny little tabletop tree, and commence preparations for a family Christmas. To all who celebrate, have a great holiday!
There are no pictures on my camera of note, and not much knitting-wise is happening. But I thought Id show up here and ramble. I took it into my head to try running. The last time I ran was in law school. I bought a pair of running tights, pulled on some sneaks and headed out. Only to double over in pain from a nasty side stitch just blocks from my apartment. It kept happening, I didnt know how to get rid of it and then I just gave the whole thing up in disgust. Turns out, deep breathing instead of shallow breathing was the easy fix, and after figuring that out I managed to run 2.3 miles in about 22 minutes without much difficulty my second time out. Of course, I bought some cute running shoes. Well see how often I decide to really do this. About five years ago Norma posted about the good things a neti pot can do for irritated noses and sinuses. Call me a slow learner, but I finally bought one and I completely agree with Norma. I thought it would be weird to use it, but its totally fine. After many years of having negative holiday spirit, I have been making a great effort this year to keep a positive, well -- neutral, alright an I-dont-hate-it attitude toward the whole Christmas thing. I mean, the holidays are coming up, I cant change that and I might as well handle this with some grace and skillfulness instead of being all "bah humbug". I even bought a Santa hat. Really.

It's too much. I had trouble remembering whether I needed to go up or down in the elevator just now. A building employee came up behind me and pushed the up arrow and it set me off in a cycle of doubt. I asked out loud, "am I going up or down?" then I answered myself: "down." Then, when the elevator arrived, I got in and the building employee had to say "aren't you going down?" I looked up and saw that it was going up. I thanked her and got back out.
Then someone I have been wanting to introduce myself to walked up to wait too and I commented that I don't know whether I am going up or down and she did not know what to make of that. This confession of incompetence oddly buoyed my confidence and I finally introduced myself and shook her hand. It was pretty cool.
Getting here in time for any interviews was difficult, but I was fortunate enough to make it in time for the tail end of the Pens coach's remarks and then the Sharks room and DeBoer's comments. I felt bold again and asked Couture…detaining him after everyone left… about what the team does that makes faceoff failure irrelevant. I didn't set out to ask him that, it wasn't like punishment for setting off the hubbub about cheating. (Of course really the media loved that, right?) He was just the first center that was available and I could not be completely certain that any more would be. Of course that was silly. Of course Pavelksi would talk to us. But it was nice to ask a question. I think that is two games in a row for me!
All the rooms have been moved around. Not literally. The space has been re-allocated. The place where media usually dines and sometimes work has turned into the "Interview Room," an auditorium for press conferences. The room where we usually do post-game press conferences has been turned into the NHL Offices. A Media Work Room has been set up in a space I have never entered before. I think it is usually used for storage. But it's been done up nicely with drapes and banners and plenty of space. Also, we can eat here. They will feed us here. And it is cool, the ventilation is excellent.
It is exciting. I very much hope we'll be here for more than two games. It would be so awful for the team to just fall down. In the same way that some of these players did not fully appreciate the magnitude of their situation in 2010, I too did not realize how rare these games are. Such a hubbub is reasonable. To take it for granted in any respect is inappropriate. But if you don't know any different, I guess you might take it for granted.
How the tide of commentary has turned. To start the series, almost everyone was picking the Sharks. Now almost everyone has counted them out and is even predicting a short series. I don't know what to make of it. I find myself watching the games, trying to see what it is that the Penguins are doing. Yes, the Sharks look slow and inept, but that is exactly what they said about the Capitals and the Lightning when they faced Pittsburgh. So what is it that they are doing?
Speed, everyone talks about speed. I guess that could be it. That would help the forwards get back to help the defense. That would help the defense get back and compensate for their reputed weakness. But if they do that, why does anyone think they are weak? Could it simply be that they are young? Even so, if they get the job done, why would you accuse the team of being defensively weak?
Ah well. My eye is not up to the task. I see things and do not quite understand how to describe them. But I do see them. I hope I see some of the things I have seen the Sharks do in the past, when they made me say "wow!" on some defensive regroup. I keep thinking back to their game against the Capitals, when their defense was so fierce that I winced every time a Washington player entered the Sharks zone. They would be dispatched with such prejudice, so little pause, that I thought they must be insane to keep trying to get in there. It was amazing.
I have not seen anything like that from the Sharks in this round. I also have not seen it from the Penguins. Their defense is somewhat more traditional, but effective. Maybe, just maybe the Sharks can rediscover that tonight. Maybe missing Hertl will get them going, make them more careful and more fierce at once. It is a blessing that they do not have to replace him with a rookie, that they have Zubrus to come in. At this stage, it would be a high risk move to use a green player when you are down 0-2 and that youngster has yet to play.
So I'll be watching, watching for something I can see but not describe.

Stanley launches wood-glass hybrid
A thunderstorm cell loomed on the horizon, but bright sunshine greeted the small crowd that gathered Sunday afternoon to celebrate the launch of National Pride, the first of a new design of lobster boat by Richard Stanley. The sturdy hull of the handsome 38-foot boat was built with Maine white cedar planking on oak frames. But the top is fiberglass, which Stanley said will be easier to maintain. The hybrid style also should make deck leaks less likely, a primary driver of rot and decay for a wooden hull. click here to read the story 13:48
Downeast Boat builder Richard Stanley tinkers with a 'hybrid'
It goes without saying that Richard Stanley has wooden boats in his blood. But at Richard Stanley Custom Boats, he is working on a new design that combines both wood and fiberglass fabrication with the goal of keeping wooden boats economically accessible to local fishermen. As a compromise between the expense of wood and the relative ease of fiberglass, Stanley recently designed a 38-foot powerboat with a wooden hull and a fiberglass top. It's an idea he has kicked around for years, but it wasn't until recently that he found the perfect customer for which to execute his design. The boat, commissioned by Doug Mayo of Portland, will be used as a charter fishing vessel and a recreational boat for family and friends. Using fiberglass for the boat's top will save time and money.

Taste These Broken Wings: Buffalo Wild Wings' Zesty Citrus sauce is less Mountain Dew and more Lemonhead
A few weeks ago you may have seen an article trending in your social networking sites about Mountain Dew and Buffalo Wild Wings teaming up to create a new sauce: Zesty Citrus. The sauce will be available from Dec. 14 to Jan. 2, according to a press release from Buffalo Wild Wings, and is part of a promotion in conjunction with the Citrus Bowl. I headed out to the Goshen restaurant a few days after the release to see what it was all about.
RELATED: At Buffalo Wild Wings, the sauce wins every time, March 3, 2015
The menu still had the Mayan Midnight Mole sauce in their B-Dubs Sauce Lab section, so I had to ask the server for it special. The server had no idea about the new sauce, but after checking with the kitchen she leaned that they did, in fact, have the sauce.
Although I was hoping for some sort of neon green color, it was transparent except for the peppering of a few spices. According to a press release from B-Dubs, the flavor of this sauce is supposed to be a mix of citrus, similar to Mountain Dew, lemongrass and spicy red pepper-flakes. What did it taste like to me? Well, the only thing that came to mind was the yellow hard candy you may have eaten as a kid called Lemonheads. This is a sweet sauce, probably the sweetest I have had on a wing, but the lemon flavor was not too overpowering.
Overall I think this is a good sauce. I wouldn't order this on boneless or have a whole basket of these to be shared to the table, but it could find itself in the rotation when I order half this flavor, half that flavor. Maybe one day I'll get that neon green wing that actually tastes like Mountain Dew, but I don't see people being too disappointed if they get this as a change in sauce for the day.

Charged for items that didnt go through on order
"I recently ordered a part for in store pick up. I used a $25 gift card and my debit card for the remaining balance. The money was taken off the gift card and my debit card was charged but I didn't receive any confirmation of the order. I messaged on the live chat they said I hadnt placed any order. I called customer service I got the same answer. I was told that the money should be put back on both cards since no order went thru. Still waiting. I will never order from them again. Now I have to deal with my bank to prove that I need the charge removed I'm guessing that I won't ever get the money back for the gift card. What a scam. Don't waste your time or money. "

Retiring in a College Town
Maddy and Newton Cattell spent years living near Penn State. They raised their four children in State College. They had season tickets and traveled back for football weekends even after moving to Virginia. But they had never considered retiring in the college town.
The Cattells moved to State College, PA in 1956 when Newton was offered a job with the university. Newton helped to establish the college's continuing education program and later became the first federal lobbyist for Penn State. His promotion took the couple to Washington, D.C.
In D.C., Newton founded the Midwestern Universities Alliance and lobbied for several universities in that region. Maddy continued her long career as a secretary working in a rehab facility. When Newton needed part-time help in his office, Maddy decided to quit her job and work for him. She remembers, "People thought we were crazy. They always said, 'How can you live together and work together?'"
Maddy says it was easy, mostly because they observed their "professional roles." She also admits, "It didn't hurt that we always got along really well either." The couple worked together for eight years before retiring.
Maddy recalls, "We started looking for retirement communities relatively early because we didn't want to burden our children in the future." After touring several places, the Cattells initially decided on a community in North Carolina near Duke University. When they heard about the construction of The Village at Penn State, a life care community in State College, they began to rethink their decision.
"We went up for a football weekend and visited the community and immediately put down a deposit," says Maddy. After carefully comparing the communities, they withdrew their deposit in North Carolina and decided to wait for The Village to be completed. Maddy relates, "We were so anxious to move in that we were the very first residents. We were here at 8 AM on the first day."
A few years after their move, Newton was diagnosed with lung cancer. After a long battle, he passed away last year. Maddy says, "During that time, the residents and the staff here really saved my life. They provided so much compassion and love. It was incredible." The support of her community during this difficult time helped Maddy pull through. Today, she remains active and involved.
"I am so happy that we moved here," she states simply. "Life is fuller here. You can be as busy and social as you want to be." Maddy's schedule includes Pilates classes, lectures, and frequent golf games. A long-time fan, Maddy attends football games and women's basketball games whenever she can. Gazing out her window at the imposing stadium, Maddy concludes, "Being near the university provides so many opportunities. Living in a college town really is great."
