- "Our overall business was similar to what we saw in the fourth quarter of 2009, although we experienced declines when compared to the first quarter last year," commented Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Feeler. "As expected, our Event Business was impacted as a result of the completed Honeywell Jersey City project. We estimate that the Honeywell Jersey City project contributed approximately $0.06 per share of earnings in the first quarter of 2009 that was not replaced in 2010. Our non-Honeywell Event business revenue was up almost 18% as compared with the same quarter last year. However, our Base business, while relatively flat with the fourth quarter, was lower than the same period last year consistent with the lag in our business to industrial production levels," Feeler concluded.
And, the business outlook:
Common sense implies that a stabilized and now growing economy, even if slowly, is positive news for both US Ecology and Clean Harbors. While pricing may remain competitive, the tide may be turning.
Happy investing,

|Summary, etc.:
First in the brand-new Harry Tate thriller series - Having been made the scapegoat for a botched drugs intercept operation, MI5 officer Harry Tate is dispatched to 'Red Station', a remote outpost in the Balkans, ostensibly to avoid press scrutiny, but where in effect the security services send 'problem' agents they'd like to be rid of. But the outpost is thrust into the international spotlight when troops begin massing in the area; and, as the situation becomes increasingly dangerous, Tate discovers the real, truly shocking, purpose behind 'Red Station' - and decides to fight back . . .

Glazing Options
Glazing also referred to as glass plays a major part in the impact on energy efficiency of the building envelope.
Glass windows and doors can account for more heat gain or heat loss in a typical building than any other element that makes up the building envelope.
For example, in the summer months heat gain through an unshaded window can be 100 times greater than through the same area of an insulated wall, and in winter the heat loss through a glass window can be ten times more than the the same area of the insulated wall.
Therefore, glazing is a key element of your building's design, because it provides light, ventilation, security and noise control.
Remember you can still have large areas of glazing to enhance the look and style of your home, let in the light, provide the views and let the outside inside by selecting the right type of glass window and door systems.
Trend's Glazing Options
Trend offer a wide range of glazing options for ALL our windows and doors ranges.
Trend Thermashield
Trend Thermashield means greater control and bigger savings
The only thing predictable about the weather is that it can and will exert an impact on your comfort and lifestyle. When it comes to battling the weather, double glazing and low-e glass is energy efficient as well as cost effective.
When it comes to reducing carbon footprints and helping create a better environment, you cannot go past Trend Windows & Doors Thermashield.
Windows and doors that utilise the technologically advanced properties of Thermashield are a more efficient method of protection from the weather. Thermashield also makes it easy for you to evaluate the level of protection you require for each specific window and door.
Remember, glazing impacts on a building through its thermal performance whether it is through the size and location of windows, the type of shading surrounding the building or the types of glazing units used in the building. Trend Thermashield offers a variety of energy efficient glazing options to suit specific climate requirements to improve the thermal performance of your home.
Other Glazing Options
Some of he options available are tinted, low-e, double glazed, Smart Glass glass, Obscure glass options – just to name a few.
We suggest you check out the Viridian brochure [PDF : 1Mb] for more information on glass.
You may require energy efficiency glass or acoustic glass solutions for your project.
Viridian Acoustic Energy Chart [PDF : 79Kb]
Viridian Acoustic Chart – Noise [PDF : 126Kb]
or visit the Viridian Glass website to view additional information on glazing options available.
For further information contact your nearest Trend Sales Office to discuss the glazing options available on offer.
When planning to build or renovate, the following is a guideline of what to consider:
- The style and layout of the building, the building design
Types of building materials
e.g. insulation, building exterior, double brick
Thermal properties of the glass you are putting into the building
e.g. double glazed unit, low-e, tinted glass – energy ratings and performance – WERS ratings
The best way to accurately access the impact of glazing as part of your building's thermal performance is get an Accredited Assessor to access the building. The Accredited Accessor uses specially designed computer software program to calculate the buildings energy gains and losses and gives you what type of glass is required.
The software assessment of the building's thermal performance is governed by the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
Trend Ovolo Glazing Bar – Aluminium

Perusing class schedules at universities across the nation illustrates that legitimate courses of study can be found among the hallowed halls of higher education, but there's plenty of fringe, questionable, biased or pointless classes peppered throughout. Here's a look at some of the more extreme examples of that from this fall's course catalogs:
Columbia University, UC Berkeley
Apparently hauntings and Satanic possession isn't just the darling of Hollywood right now. Some colleges' anthropology departments have taken a liking to the subject this fall. Columbia University offers a course called "text, magic, performance." Its description states the class:
"pursues interconnections linking text and performance in light of magic, ritual, possession, narration, and related articulations of power. … Domains of inquiry include: spirit possession, trance states, séance, witchcraft, ritual performance, and related realms of cinematic projection, musical form, shadow theater, performative objects, and (other) things that move on their own, compellingly. … Retraced throughout the course are the uncanny shadows of a fully possessed subject."
Not to be outdone, Berkeley offers an anthropology course titled "the psychic life of history, culture, illness and violence." Its course outline notes:
"… We will devote a particular attention to hegemonic discourses on the body, health and suffering, as in the case of new psychiatric categories such as 'trance and possession disorder,' … we will further compare the dialectic and tension around the phenomenological experience of being 'at-risk,' between the 'magical world' and 'psychopathological thought,' pondering the experience of 'cultural' and 'psychic apocalypse.' "
A prerequisite to enroll in either class is the instructors' permission. That, and maybe a crucifix and some holy water.
Wesleyan University
An English class that doubles as a feminist/gender/sexuality studies course on this Connecticut campus is called "Queer Time: The Poetics and Politics of Temporality." It promises to explore "relationships among textuality, temporality, and sexuality," and draw on "works by directors of the new queer cinema of the 1990s" and "introduce students to examples of recent theoretical writing on 'queer temporality,' " according to its course description. One of the books students enrolled in the class will read is called "Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic," an autobiographical tale that features themes such as pedophilia, suicide, death, homosexuality and depression.
The class syllabus also calls for "intensive participation" among enrolled students. I'm sure they'll have plenty of uplifting discussions.
University of Vermont
The slant of economics professors at the University of Vermont isn't hard to determine when one peruses their department's course catalog. There's "capitalism and human welfare," an interesting combination, which "investigates theories of growth of the capitalist economy and the historical process of the ascendance, domination, and recent relative decline of the U.S. economy." (No course on communism and human welfare, by the way). A "labor, race and gender" class touches on issues such as unions, as well as "discrimination, economics of education, and other aspects of the economics of gender and race." (I'm sure white male executives will make out like bandits in that classroom). Next comes "African-Americans in the U.S. economy," which offers an "examination of historical and contemporary inequality between whites and blacks, focusing especially on labor, housing, and credit markets." (I'm pretty sure we know where they're going with that one). And finally, there's "economics of gender," which tackles "how gender differences produce different economic outcomes for women and men in work, leisure, earnings, poverty; explores effectiveness of policies to overcome gender gaps." (Hey, the 80s called; it wants its hot-button issue back).
Ethnic Studies:
Amherst College
The Black Studies department at Amherst College offers plenty of options for students, as long as they are not interested in learning about the contributions, accomplishments or opinions of black conservatives such as Clarence Thomas, Ward Connerly, Alan Keyes, Thomas Sowell and others. The department's course topics run the gamut, from racism and the slave trade to revolutions and the Black Arts/Black Power movement. Specific topics tackled by the department include: music, Haiti, race and politics, African art and Caribbean poetry. One famous black historical figure even gets his own class. Nope, not Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. —- it's controversial civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois.
First year/freshmen seminar
University of California, San Diego, Swarthmore College
The freshmen or first-year seminar consists of small class sizes, they're discussion-centric, and the topics are typically obscure, philosophical elective-type offerings. While there are many first-year seminars offered at campuses across the nation this fall that border on the absurd, two in particular stood out from the crowd.
"Interrogating gender: Centuries of dramatic cross-dressing" is offered this fall at Swarthmore College. It's set to tackle such pressing matters as:
"Do clothes make the man? Or the woman? Do men make better women? Or women better men? Is gender a costume we put on and take off? Are we really all always in drag? Does gender-bending lead to transcendence or chaos? These questions and their ramifications for liminalities of race, nationality and sexuality will be our focus in a course that examines dramatic works from The Bacchae to M. Butterfly."
Inquiring minds want to know. On the other side of the country, UCSD offers its freshmen "God, sex, chocolate: Desire and the spiritual path." The course description asks:
"Who shapes our desire? Who suffers for it? Do we control our desire or does desire control us? When we yield to desire, do we become more fully ourselves or must we deny it to find an authentic identity beneath? How have religious and philosophical approaches dealt with the problem of desire?"
I bet the professor won't have to pull teeth to get students to finish their homework.
Religious Studies
The vast majority of mainstream universities across the nation get an "F" —- for failing to offer one course focused on the teachings of Jesus Christ, by far the most influential religious figure in the history of the world. He's lucky to get a passing mention in departments choked with subjects that tackle almost anything and everything but Jesus directly. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, post-modern religious thought, Jihad, existentialism, yoga as religion, asceticism, alchemy, Judaism, Catholicism, church-state relations, and so on and so forth.
So let's see, universities can tackle: demonic possession, "queer time" literature, anti-Capitalist screeds, the Black Power movement, a history of cross-dressing and unfettered human desire, among a host of other obscure or controversial topics —- but studying the most influential figure to walk the face of this Earth? Heavens, no!

FFT understands you were quite the sportsman as a kid. What did you excel in?
I did track athletics, cross-country, swimming and football. I didn't have a single night off for the entire week! I was decent at all of them. I probably won the most at swimming: I was Surrey Champion four years in a row at breaststroke. I ran cross-country, 1,500 metres and 800m at Surrey County level.
There must have been days when you were competing at multiple events?
I remember one day when I had a semi-final for a [football] county cup in the morning, then an 800m final in the afternoon and a swimming gala in the evening. I broke my nose in the match and couldn't do the other activities, but that Sunday I came second in the 1,500m county championship, even though I could only breathe out of one nostril!
More after the break
What was your best event?
The 1,500m. I used to enjoy sitting at the back of the pack then using my sprint finish to win races. Looking back, though, I can't believe I never ran the 100m or 200m, because I was quick.
How did this all fit in with football?
Pretty well. You don't get tired when you're so young, and the extra fitness always helped my football. I didn't have much free time, but I would have filled my free time with sport anyway – I loved it. I don't feel I missed out on anything.
At what age did you choose football?
From the start. I always chose football if there was a clash, and eventually I got day release from school to train once a week. I reported to my cross-country coach, he looked at my thighs and said, "You're a footballer now, not a runner" because I suddenly had these muscles.
How have other sports helped you?
The endurance base is the main thing. I was always extremely fit from all the athletics and swimming. The attitude towards training I got from those other sports made me a good trainer in football, too. I had real discipline and both my parents were sporty.
Who is the fittest player you've come up against at West Ham?
The overall level is incredible and there's nobody obviously ahead of everyone. If you look at the high-intensity running statistics, it's very impressive – 95 per cent of players are very fit indeed. But if I have to single out one person I'd probably say Matt Taylor. He runs for fun and posts some incredible figures.
Fast on your feet
The sprint king and former track runner on hitting top gear while out on the pitch
1 Develop a good running technique
"Get to an athletics club and learn how to run properly, because you can always improve on your speed with extra training and expert help. Develop the correct posture and stride, keep your knees high and drive your arms. I learned all of these things from athletics. It made me a faster footballer."
2 Work on the runs that suit your position
"Football is different from athletics, as you're not just running in a straight line. I'm a winger so I do a lot of short, quick shuttles. The likes of Matt Taylor move more relentlessly during games and use their endurance to win the ball. Work on having quick feet in training. A lot of it is in your head – it's all about mastering different runs."
3 Awareness is key
"Concentrate on where the ball is, and try to take the quickest route to it. This is an instinctive thing you learn with time and it doesn't always involve actually looking at the ball – it's more about knowing your technique, how far your touch goes and how long it will take to catch the ball up. Practice is the only way to do it, so do extra dribbling sessions.

Alright let's quickly go over my favorite methods to heal a cold sore with (you think Jack Bauer over there gets cold sores? lol). Myself and my friends have personally experimented with literally hundreds of various remedies over the years due to our displeasure with the relative ineffectiveness of available prescription and OTC medications and treatments (which may, at best, reduce the length of your outbreak by 1 to 2 days–not very impressive, really, now is it?). A cold sore is caused by the outbreak of an infection of the herpes simplex type 1 virus (aka "HSV-1″), which, once you've contracted the virus, it stays in the sensory nerve cells of your face, hibernating there only to break out into ghastly red crusty leaky cold sores once every few months or so (for more information check out: Cold Sore Blister: What is it, and how to treat it?).
Janie's Top 5 Tips for Quick Cold Sore Annihilation
- Keep it clean and dry: wash it once every two hours with a wash cloth and soap, being sure to throw the dirty wash cloth in the laundry and use a new one each time to prevent further spreading.
- Put some carmex (this is the best in my opinion) or other lip balm over it to keep the fluid from leaking out and spreading–the wax will act as a sealant.
- Melt an ice cube over it for about 10 minutes every two hours after you wash it–this slows down the virus's metabolism and makes it less likely to get worse and speeds healing time, plus it really helps with pain and irritation.
- Apply witch hazel or rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) with a q-tip to it once every two hours–my friends and I have found this to usually be VERY effective at speeding up healing time (and if you do it early enough when it's just a little red bump it will sometimes stop the cold sore dead in its tracks and keep it from ever emerging in the first place).
- Start taking lysine at 1000mg 3 times per day along with high doses of Vitamin C (follow directions on the bottle), lysine has been proven (and in my and my friends experience, it works) to speed healing time for cold sores and to go a long way to prevent them in the first place (see here for more info: Lysine: Cold Sores Treatment? Dosage and How-To…
How the cold sore virus replicates and how to stop it
This is going to go into a bit of detail, there's going to be a bit of science and some medical terms, but if you'll stick with me til the end you'll really have an excellent understanding of how this nasty little virus works and how a few simple tweaks in what you eat (most importantly: what to stop eating) and maybe a special supplement you probably haven't heard of before (don't worry, I'm not selling it and it's not expensive) can not only eliminate your cold sore in a day or two but also prevent them from every coming back again. Let's get started…
What causes a cold sore?
A cold sore is an outward symptom of an outbreak of the Herpes Simplex Virus (usually Type 1, aka "HSV-1″, although HSV-2 can cause oral herpes) usually due to a decreased in immune function, a very common cause of which is exposure to cold weather hence the name "cold sore". To the left you will see the culprit: that's HSV-1 magnified 169,000 times by scanning electron microscope–growl at it or flip it the bird if it makes you feel better
The herpes virus remains dormant in the sensory nerve cells of your face until an outbreak, and no, sorry, there's no cure: once you've been infected, you've got it for life. It's almost always going to be the type 1 strain (HSV-1) of herpes that causes oral cold sores, however cases of HSV-2 causing them have been documented, so it's possible, although rare. However, 1 in 6 cases of genital herpes are causes by HSV-1 (genital herpes is usually associated with HSV-2), so that's somewhat more likely, although the old axiom that if it's above the waist it's HSV-1 and if it's below the waist it's HSV-2 does still generally hold true.
How Did I Originally Get Infected? Or: WHY GRANDMA WHY?!?!
Studies have shown that, the vast majority of the time, oral herpes is transmitted most commonly in someone's youth when they are kissed by a relative who's infected and suffering from an active cold sore outbreak–yeah, that sucks. This is especially likely if you started getting cold sores when you were a small child, which would mean that you were infected when you were very young and therefore most likely acquired it from close contact with an infected relative suffering from an active outbreak. If you acquired it later in life then something else is probably the cause, most likely that you acquired it from an intimate partner through physical contact i.e. kissing someone with a cold sore.
Cold Sore Treatments, Medications, and Remedies
There's a great variety of treatments that myself and my friends have tried over the years: most of us originally went the prescription-combined-with-OTC (over-the-counter) route where we were prescribed something like Acyclovir or Valacyclovir and then used an OTC cream like Abreva. Over the years we've found (myself included) that the best those can do is to shave 1 maybe 2 days off of an outbreak, and that's about it. We've found, through trial-and-error between us over the years, that there are more effective remedies you can put together in your kitchen. Not only that, but there are preventative measures that you can take which will often prevent a cold sore outbreak altogether from happening again, ever, from supplements like l-lysine and Vitamin B-12 to minor but hugely effective little diet changes like avoiding vinegar at certain times because it lowers your blood pH levels and creates an environment much more favorable to the virus replicating and wreaking havoc on your face.
pH Levels, Oxygen, and Stopping the Virus Cold in Its Tracks
The Herpes Simplex Type I virus that causes your cold sores has a very narrow pH range that its environment must be within for it to be able to live and reproduce (by the way, pH is just how acidic or basic something is–acids have a low pH and bases, such as lye, have a high pH) your body's own pH range can easily sway into this territory from time to time due to a number of factors, the most common causes of which are stress, decreased immune function, certain foods, lack of sleep, and excess sunlight–now, where have you seen these factors mentioned before? Probably in an article you read about the most common triggers for cold sores, right? Even if you haven't read about it I'm sure you already know it anyway because you almost certainly would have noticed it: your cold sores tend to occur when you're stressed out, when your immune system is down (this most commonly occurs when you're ill or when it's very cold out), when your diet changes (usually in an unhealthy way, such as the addition of junk food you weren't eating before), when you're not getting enough sleep, etc., right?
The reason for this is that when you allow these things to happen to you, you're creating an environment that is the most favorable for the virus to reproduce and live in (it's when the virus starts suddenly massively reproducing that you get cold sores) by altering your normal pH level for the worse and making it very difficult for your immune system to keep the virus at bay, which it does most of the time, which is why you don't have cold sores most of the time–your immune system is doing it's job, it's only when you make it difficult for it to do its job that problems start to pop up. So, essentially, if you can get your pH level back to normal then the cold sores vanish (this is a bit of an oversimplification, but I just don't have the room here to explain the whole process). Plus, if you just follow a couple simple guidelines concerning diet and cheap, over-the-counter supplements, you can possibly prevent them from ever coming back, or at least make them very rare (most people who follow the program described below will go several years between cold sores, which is usually a huge improvement for them). Now, how do you do that?
My friend Derek, after a couple years of experimentation (primarily on himself! he suffered horribly from cold sores for years) and some consultation with several doctors and herbal specialists, came up with a program he shared with me a couple years back that took some things we already knew about how to get rid of cold sores (taking l-lysine, avoiding stress and too much sunlight, yada yada) to a whole other level, I mean I was just completely blown away, what he originally showed me was a multi-page, super-detailed program he came up with that utilized a few small (as in they won't inconvenience you) adjustments in diet that make a big difference primarily involving what not to eat, along with a combination of several herbal supplements (one is l-lysine, but the dosage is different from what you'd normally take since you're combining it with other supplements) including a new one I'd never heard of called "cat's claw" that came from some weird tree bark in the Peruvian rain forest, plus a couple others that, when combined, have a very powerful and immediate effect on your body's pH level and can quickly bring the Herpes virus to a dead halt, but they have to be combined just right in the correct dosages, plus your diet has to be right because if you're eating any of the several things that can throw off your pH level then it might not work. He's currently put together a fantastic 84-page report you can get here (it's pretty easy reading, you can get through it in a couple hours, no worries) that I highly recommend you check out, just listen to what the guy has to say, he knows what he's doing believe me. I wish I could just give the whole thing to you here, but it's 84 pages long and there's just no way I can fit that into a blog post, plus he won't let me due to copyright issues (I asked already, in fact I had to be careful about how much I gave away to you here about his method!).
I just can't tell you how much of a difference this has made in my life, I used to suffer from cold sores nearly every other month, it was horrible: cold outside? cold sore. hot outside? cold sore. job-related stress? cold sore. the flu? cold sore bonus, yay! have trouble sleeping? cold sore. I haven't had one in nearly 3 1/2 years now, and it all started when I first got that e-mail from Derek detailing something he spent years testing and researching and months writing the rough draft. At the time I had a terrible outbreak, two on my mouth and one just on the edge of my nostril, and they were gone in 48 hours, never to return. I follow his simple guidelines about not eating certain foods when I'm especially susceptible to cold sores (I'm stressed, not getting enough sleep, feeling a little under the weather, etc.) and I always take my daily supplements (3 little pills, which are good for you and have multiple other benefits, plus they're cheap as dirt from my local drug store). If I feel a cold sore coming on, that familiar little tingle, I up the dosage to the level he recommends for when you actually have a cold sore (quite a bit higher than the normal dosage you use to prevent them) and then the tingle goes away and I never see a cold sore pop up, works every time. Again, just for your own benefit I'd recommend you check out his site and see what he has to say, it'll take 5 minutes, that's it: go here to learn how to eliminate cold sores in just a day or two and keep them from coming back ever again.

A bad bet: former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern last month at Fairyhouse Racecourse, Ratoath, Ireland. Photo: Damien Eagers/PA
With his resignation as Taoiseach today, Bertie Ahern managed to turn a long-awaited inevitability into a dramatic surprise. It was a trick worthy of the deceptively brilliant politician he has always been. He went quietly and with dignity while the rest of us were picturing his eventual end as a scene from the culmination of a vampire movie. He walked away at a moment when we were trying to imagine what could possibly prise his fingers from the seal of office.
Allegations that he had taken large sums of cash from private donors while he was minister for finance in 1993 and 1994? That he had failed to pay tax on at least some of that money, even though he was in charge of the tax system? That he had been brazenly untruthful in a set-piece TV interview he gave when the Irish Times first broke the story in the September 2006? That he had misled parliament on numerous occasions? That his sworn evidence to a tribunal of inquiry investigating corruption in the planning system in Dublin has been, at best, highly evasive and, at worst, almost risibly incredible?
We've had all of that over the last 18 months. Any one element of this scandal would have been enough to shame almost any office holder in the democratic world into resignation, but right up until yesterday morning, Bertie Ahern gave a master class in shamelessness. He stuck remorselessly to the line that he had never received a corrupt payment and that the "unorthodox" gifts he did get were "dig-outs" from friends at a time when his life was chaotic because he was separating from his wife. And he insisted that, having won a third successive election last June, he would stay in office until his 60th birthday in 2012.
He was fortified by the fact that he won that election six months after the first payments had been revealed. His aura as a peacemaker (reinforced by election ads featuring fulsome tributes from Bill Clinton and Tony Blair) and Ireland's economic success sustained him. So did the aura of amiability he had maintained since his entry into politics in 1977.
He deftly embodied the chumminess implicit in his name. Known exclusively as "Bertie", he dressed down: it took him a long time to exchange his beloved anoraks for suits. He lives in a relatively ordinary suburban house. He could be seen drinking a pint of Bass with his male cronies in a local bar on Dublin's north side any weekend night. He was so available that it was said he would perform the official opening of a packet of crisps. He convinced everybody, even professional sceptics like myself, that he was interested in power, but not in money.
The performance was so magisterial that it was almost forgotten that he was the political protege of the flagrantly corrupt former Taoiseach Charles Haughey. When Haughey admiringly referred to Ahern as "the most skilful, the most devious and the most cunning", the remark was treated as a joke. It is only now, when the tribunal of inquiry is looking into unexplained transactions totalling almost €900,000 in today's terms, that we realise just how cunning he really was.
Yesterday's coup de theatre was another reminder of his mastery of the dark arts of politics. He was due to face questions today about the latest embarrassing episode at the tribunal. His former constituency secretary gave evidence that payments she lodged into his account, and which he had sworn were from his salary cheques, were actually sterling, and must therefore have come from some other source. The event was particularly damaging because he allowed a low-paid, vulnerable employee to take the pressure on his behalf. The aura of amiability had worn very thin.
He could easily have survived those questions, though, because his party, Fianna Fáil, has been doggedly faithful to him. Having recovered from the rampant corruption of the Haughey era, it has allowed itself to be dragged back into the mire of unquestioning loyalty to a questionable leader, with minister after minister defending the seemingly indefensible and painting Ahern as the victim of a media witch-hunt. But Ahern chose to wrongfoot his own followers with yesterday's sudden announcement.
In retrospect, the timing is obvious enough. Ahern will a step down on May 6. With next week's ceremonies to mark the 10th anniversary of his greatest achievement, the Belfast Agreement, and an address to the US Congress on April 30, he can go out as an international statesman rather than as a local politician caught up in a grubby little scandal. He can maintain, for a while, the illusion that he was not forced out, but chose to go. It will be the last act of a great illusionist.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT --A polygamous family with a reality TV show plans to challenge the Utah bigamy law that makes their lifestyle illegal, a Washington-based attorney says.
In an e-mail to The Associated Press early Tuesday, attorney Jonathan Turley says he will file the lawsuit challenging Utah's bigamy law in Salt Lake City's U.S. District Court on Wednesday.
Turley represents Kody Brown and his four wives. Originally from Lehi, the family is featured on the TLC reality show "Sister Wives." They moved to Nevada in January after police launched a bigamy investigation.
Bigamy is a third-degree felony in Utah. A person can be found guilty of bigamy through cohabitation, not just legal marriage contracts.
In a statement Turley says the lawsuit will challenge the Utah's right to prosecute people for their private relationships.

On the bright side, Monte Kiffin's defense shut down Joe Gibb's offense. The 'Skins could not move the chains on offense and, as a result, set a record for offensive futility by a playoff team.
But the 'Skins defense played well also, and won the game for Washington.
In the end the Bucs shot themselves in the foot with those two odd turnovers in the first quarter which resulted in 14 points for the 'Skins. You can't blame Simms for the first interception since the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage. And the fumble by Cadillac was down right unlucky, considering Marcus Washington should have been ruled down, and then that he was able to fumble the ball forward to Sean "Hock-a-Loogie" Taylor.
But the Bucs benefitted from some good luck just to make the playoffs, so it's only fair that karma balanced out the universe in the end.
Going into the offseason the Bucs have a good deal of decisions they have to make, but that is not necessarily a bad thing this time around. At the quarterback position, the Bucs have to decide between Griese and Simms. Right now Griese is more mature and a better quarterback. Simms, on the other hand, has more upside although he makes immature decisions. I don't think this is as clear cut decision as most people do, since Gruden was forced to simplify the offense for Simms this season, which handicapped the offense.
Additionally, the Bucs have to decide what to do with Simeon Rice and his expensive contract (most likely cut him if he does not restructure), although Rice is a key player on this defense and extremely difficult to replace. And the Bucs have to decide which position to draft in the next couple of months. Do they go with an offensive tackle, cornerback or another position?
With Round One of the playoffs finished and the Bucs out, who are you rooting for? Lovie Smith and Chicago or NFC South opponent Carolina? John Lynch and Denver or Tony Dungy and Indy?

Ski, my friend I need to correct you on one thing, Simms is a much better QB then Griese. According to Jon Gruden on his Monday night talk Show, he has opened up the play book under Simms, where it was not completely open for Griese due to his mobility. If you recall Griese could only complete a short 3 yard dump pass to Galloway and no other receiver ever got the ball. Gruden advised the play calling was not Simms fault but Clayton's injuries this year. Griese has never been a great QB and Gruden and Bruce Allen tried to get Tim Rattay during this off-season to compete with Griese. But don't you worry because I have been told that N.Y. Jets are planning on offering Simms crazy money and the Bucs may not be able to pay him and we will be stuck with Griese and his $7.083 million dollar contract sounds great right? NOT. Plus he gets a $2.6 million roster bonus on March 3, 2006. So I ask you is Griese worth $9 million? Most of us Buccaneer fans here in Tampa say no way, cut Griese now and find the money for Simms. Plus NFL Network reports that many teams are interested in Simms.
As for Simon Rice, Gruden and Rice do not get along and he was paid $10 million this year and next year he gets $9 million, Rice is gone. If you recall, last year at the draft, the Bucs offered Rice to San Diego for Phillip Rivers. It almost happened. I was at Raymond James Stadium for last years draft. The 1st Annual Buccaneers Draft Party. We were told then that Rice would no longer be a Buccaneer, but San Diego backed out of the deal.
You must also recall that the Buccaneers are not afraid to part ways with key veterans and the Pewter Report (the official Buccaneer Magazine) has said don't be surprised if Derrick Brooks is gone next year with his $10 million dollar contract, which for two years now he has refused to restructure. I hope Derrick remains a Buc for ever, but I am scared he may not.
As I reported on my blog, the Bucs need to find and create money for: Juran Bolden, Matt Bryant, Jamel Cook, Ike Hillard, Dexter Jackson, Chris Hovan, Dave Moore, Todd Steussie, Kenyatta Walker, Torrie Cox, Sean Mahan, Chris Simms, Anthony Davis, Earnest Graham, Edell Shepherd and Jeb Terry. So can you say we are in trouble. I know we will not keep all these guys, but we need money for free agents or draft picks. Any way next year is tough. I will be posting a huge article about the salary cap and cap casualities in 06 from my inside source at One Buc Place.
Any way I think I am pulling for INDY and Tony Dungy.

damn cutthroat, you've only been around for a few months and you have inside sources already, impressive.
I ain't saying that griese is better than simms, just suggesting that simms benefitted from many simple 3 receiver sets this year. it's common knowledge that gruden used two and three tightend sets in max protection to keep the pass rush off of simms. it remains to be seen if simms can make the jump to the complicated five receiver sets gruden prefers to run.
and i'm also rooting for the colts now (although i rooted for the bucs and bengals yesterday so i've prob jinxed the colts)

I have only been around here on a blog for a few months. I have been a Buccaneer fan since 1979 had season tickets in the old sombrero.
Plus my inside source? I have had inside source for a few years now. Lets just say for seven years I have had great security details in uniform on the field. I also have worked cases with Gruden's body guard a TPD Detective who I am good friend with. You see him on TV all the time.
So I have a few friends in the office who respect blue.

Before the National Western Stock Show & Rodeo throws open the gates on its 106th edition Saturday, Texas longhorns, cowboys, old tractors and more will take to the streets of downtown Denver.
This year's grand marshal should feel right at home during Thursday's annual parade.
Former Denver Mayor Federico Peña grew up in Laredo, Texas, and received his bachelor's and law degrees from the University of Texas, home of the Longhorns.
After college, he moved to Denver, where he made his famous name.
Peña was out of town late last week, his office said, and did not return a call for comment.
Peña was elected to the Colorado House of Representatives in 1979, then became Denver's first Latino mayor in 1983 and was re-elected in 1987.
He was President Bill Clinton's secretary of transportation from 1993 to 1997 and secretary of energy from 1997 to 1998.
"We feel great about honoring Federico for all he's done for our city and nation," said National Western president and chief executive Paul Andrews.
The parade begins at noon at Union Station and heads southeast on 17th Street for 14 blocks, disbanding near Broadway.
Before, during and after the parade, folks are invited to enjoy the National Western Barbecue in the atrium of the Wells Fargo Building at 1700 Broadway. Serving starts at 11:30 a.m., and the $9 price benefits 4-H International.
The fundraiser also includes Western music and a VIP Western fashion show.
The stock show, held at the 100- acre National Western Complex at Interstate 70 and Brighton Boulevard, runs daily through Jan. 22.
Friday's Denver Post will include a special section about this year's events and personalities.
Also, DenverPost.com's stock- show Web page will feature daily stories, pictures, video and updates.

Yootha Joyce doesn't have any movies playing in theaters.
If you feel like heading out, check out other movies in theaters.

A Man for All Seasons
Yootha Joyce was an English stage, movie, and television actress who spent two decades mostly playing intensely sinister or comedic supporting roles before she emerged to stardom on British television as the sexually frustrated Mildred Roper on the sitcom [[Feature~V401712~Man About the House~manaboutthehouse[tvseries]]] (which was retooled for America as [[Feature~V280654~Three's Company~threescompany[tvseries]]]) and its spin-off, George and Mildred (which was redone in the United States as [[Feature~V284349~The Ropers~theropers[tvseries]]]). In both of the series, she was teamed opposite character actor [[Performer~P51430~Brian Murphy~brianmurphy]], who played her husband, George.Born Yootha Joyce Needham in London in 1927, she was the daughter of singer Hurst Needham and concert pianist Jessica Revitt. She attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, where one of her fellow students was a young [[Performer~P50375~Roger Moore~rogermoore]]. She pursued a career as a working actress across the 1950s, achieving her first success with the Joan Littlewood theater company, through which she also made her screen debut in 1963 with the feature [[Feature~V111254~Sparrows Can't Sing~sparrowscantsing]]. Joyce became known on British television over the next few years in one-off supporting roles, and international audiences began discovering her starting in 1964 with her work in [[Performer~P85216~Jack Clayton~jackclayton]]'s feature film [[Feature~V106882~The Pumpkin Eater~thepumpkineater]], working alongside [[Performer~P80576~Anne Bancroft~annebancroft]] and [[Performer~P23460~Peter Finch~peterfinch]]. Joyce reached a somewhat younger and wider audience -- especially in subsequent television broadcasts of the movie -- with her powerful performance as the sinister servant in [[Performer~P104059~Silvio Narizzano~silvionarizzano]]'s chiller [[Feature~V13755~Fanatic~diediemydarling]] (U.S. title: [[Feature~V13755~Die! Die! My Darling!~diediemydarling]], 1965), working in a cast that included [[Performer~P3713~Tallulah Bankhead~tallulahbankhead]] and [[Performer~P57573~Stefanie Powers~stefaniepowers]]. Joyce subsequently had prominent supporting roles, often with a sinister or comedic twist (or, sometimes, both), in movies as different as [[Feature~V94436~Having a Wild Weekend~havingawildweekend]] (1965), [[Feature~V31129~A Man for All Seasons~amanforallseasons]] (1966), [[Feature~V86991~Charlie Bubbles~charliebubbles]] (1967), and [[Feature~V23162~The Horrors of Burke and Hare~thehorrorsofburkeandhare]] (1971). Joyce also showed up on a lot of British television during the early to mid-'60s, though the only one of those appearances that international viewers likely would have seen was an episode of [[Feature~V132977~The Avengers~theavengers[tvseries]]], entitled "[[Feature~V182537~Something Nasty in the Nursery~avengers:somethingnastyinthenursery]]" (1967). She was doing more and more film work as the 1970s began when, in 1973, she was cast in the role of Mildred Roper in [[Feature~V401712~Man About the House~manaboutthehouse[tvseries]]]. The latter ensured her of lasting fame as the wry-witted, frustrated landlord's wife. The role also made her enough of a star to afford her appearances as a guest on U.K. variety shows -- and it turned out that Joyce was a singer as well as an actress. She and her co-star [[Performer~P51430~Brian Murphy~brianmurphy]] also got their own series, George and Mildred, which led to a feature film of the same name that wasn't released until after her death in 1980.Joyce had grappled with chronic alcoholism for decades, never beating the disease completely; she died of complications from the disease a few days after her 53rd birthday, in August of 1980. Her final television appearance, broadcast more than five months after her death, was on a [[Performer~P10001~Max Bygraves~maxbygraves]] variety show taped shortly before her death, on which she sang [[Performer~P11169~the Carpenters~thecarpenters]]' hit "For All We Know." She was later the subject of a tribute by the rock group [[Performer~P66616~the Smiths~thesmiths]], who used her image in connection with their 1986 single "Ask." And in 2001, a documentary about the actress, entitled The Unforgettable Yootha Joyce and featuring contributions by her surviving co-stars and colleagues, was broadcast on England's ITV network. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi

It worked fine and properly for awhile, until one day I tried to transfer a file onto it and it froze half way through the file transfer.
I tried a few more files, each would freeze at some point during the transfer.
So, I tried to fix it.
Ran multiple defrags and scan disks on it while it was reading 133gb full out of 232gb total drive space. Eventually it started reading as total size 99gbs, and 0bytes free.
So, we formatted the drive by taking it out of the encasing, putting it into an empty computer box, and using a Windows XP disc to format it.
It then read fine, saying it had 232gb free, was empty, and I started filling it again.
Now, I'm back at that same place and it won't accept files again.
It is as if the hard drive thinks it is a 99gb drive, and that is very lame.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just used this forum to fix my main drive from a spyquake infection, and I am forever in debt to you guys already, so feel free to ignore me as you have already helped me sooo much.

Grey wins creative mandate of Usha Fans
MUMBAI: Consumer durable brand Usha International has assigned Grey group India to handle the creative duties of Usha Fans. The account was won in a multi-agency pitch process and will be handled by the agency?s Delhi office, under the leadership of Grey Delhi vice president and branch head Samir Datar.
Usha Fans marketing head Bharat Kharbanda said, ?We are very excited about this association and are confident to grow our business to new heights. What excited us is the fact that for consumers, Fan as a category has become low involvement and consumers don?t realise the technology advancements that have been made to not just make the fans more stylish but also far superior at the benefit they are supposed to deliver. The brief was to enhance the focus on the category and we expect the communication to take that challenge head on.?
Grey group South & South East Asia chief strategy officer Dheeraj Sinha added, ?From how it used to be, say two decades ago, things have changed dramatically in our lives - the way we connect to each either, the way we listen to our music, the way we cook our food and so on. The category of fans however, hasn't seen much innovation during the last few decades. Usha has some remarkable technology and design in their lineup that fits in our modern day living. We are looking forward to be a part of the journey where we redefine how India looks at fans.?

S. Austin Allibone, comp. Prose Quotations from Socrates to Macaulay.
I have, said Dr. Allen, been a practising physician for nearly thirty years. I have had some experience in cases of insanity, having been for ten years medical superintendent of the Kentucky Lunatic Asylum, and during that time had over two thousand crazy people under my charge. I have heard the hypothetical case read by Mr. Phelan. I am here as an expert, and before answering the question would like to say that the more I studied the question of insanity the less I understood it; and if you ask me where it begins and where it ends, neither I nor any physician in the world could tell you: in fact, on occasions like this, lawyers make fools of themselves in trying to make asses of doctors.
I. R. Allen, M.D., Nov. 1872.
Insanity, as well as delirium, may be considered as divisible into two kinds; one of which may be called
and the other
Ideal insanity
is that state of mind in which a person imagines he sees, hears, or otherwise perceives, or converses with, persons or things which either have no external existence to his senses at the time, or have no such external existence as they are then conceived to have; or, if he perceives external objects as they really exist, has yet erroneous and absurd ideas of his own power, and other sensible qualities:such a state of mind continuing for a considerable time, and being unaccompanied with any violent or adequate degree of fever.
Notional insanity
is that state of mind in which a person sees, hears, or otherwise perceives external objects, as they really exist, as objects of sense; yet conceives such notions of the powers, properties, designs, state, destination, importance, manner of existence, or the like, of things and persons, of himself and others, as appear obviously, and often grossly, erroneous, or unreasonable, to the common sense of the sober and judicious part of mankind. It is of considerable duration; is never accompanied with any great degree of fever, and very often with no fever at all.
Dr. Thomas Arnold:
Obser. on Insanity, Lond.,
1800, 2 vols. 8vo.
Mad is one of those words which mean almost everything and nothing. At first it was, I imagine, applied to the transports of rage; and when men were civilized enough to be capable of insanity, their insanity, I presume, must have been of the frantic sort; because, in the untutored, intense feelings seem regularly to carry a boisterous expression.
Dr. Thomas Beddoes:
No. 12.
I always expected with impatience the accession of the paroxysms [of insanity], since I enjoyed during their presence a high degree of pleasure. They lasted ten or twelve hours. Everything appeared easy to me. No obstacles presented themselves either in theory or practice. My memory acquired, all of a sudden, a singular degree of perfection: long passages of Latin authors occurred to my mind. In general, I have great difficulty in finding rhythmical terminations; but then I could write in verse with as much facility as in prose. I was cunning, malicious, and fertile in all kinds of expedients.
Bibliothèque Britannique
(from a recovered lunatic).
Oppression makes wise men mad; but the distemper is still the madness of the wise, which is better than the sobriety of fools.
Edmund Burke
Ever, as before, does madness remain a mysterious, terrific, altogether
boiling up of the nether chaotic deep, through this fair painted vision of creation, which swims thereon, which we name the real.
Thomas Carlyle
There can be no doubt that many a man has been saved from an attack of mental disease by the resolute determination of his will not to yield to his morbid tendencies. But if he should give way to them and dwell upon his morbid ideas, instead of resisting them, they come at last to acquire a complete mastery over him; his will, his common sense, and his moral sense at length succumb to their domination.
Dr. William B. Carpenter:
Principles of Mental Physiology,
edit. 1874.
When a man mistakes his thoughts for persons and things, he is mad. A madman is properly so defined.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
Insanity is, in a person awake, a false or mistaken judgment of things which, as occurring most frequently in life, are those about which the generality of men form the same judgment, and particularly is the malady evinced when the judgment of the individual is very different from what he had himself before usually formed of the same object.
Dr. William Cullen.
Insanity consists in such false perceptions of the relations of things as lead to irrational emotions or actions. Melancholy is partial insanity, without indigestion; mania is universal insanity.
Dr. William Cullen.
If the raving be not directed to a single object, it is mania, properly so called; if to one object, it constitutes monomania.
Dr. R. Dunglison.
In some, perhaps in many, cases the human mind is stormed in its citadel, and laid prostrate under the stroke of frenzy: these unhappy sufferers, however, are not so much considered by physicians as maniacs, as in a state of delirium from fever. There, indeed, all the ideas are overwhelmed, for reason is not merely disturbed, but driven from her seat. Such unhappy patients are unconscious, therefore, except at short intervals, even of external objects, or at least are wholly incapable of understanding their relations. Such persons, and such persons alone (except idiots), are wholly deprived of their understandings, in the Attorney-Generals sense of that expression. But these cases are not only extremely rare, but can never become the subjects of judicial difficulty. There can be but one judgment concerning them. In other cases Reason is not driven from her seat, but Distraction sits down upon it along with her, holds her trembling upon it, and frightens her from her propriety. Such patients are victims to delusions of the most alarming description, which so overpower the faculties, and usurp so firmly the power of realities, as not to be dislodged and shaken by the organs of perception and sense: in such cases the images frequently vary, but in the same subjects are generally of the same terrific character. Delusion, therefore, where there is no frenzy or raving madness, is the true character of insanity; and where it cannot be predicated on a man standing for life or death for a crime, he ought not, in my opinion, to be acquitted: and if courts of law were to be governed by any other principle, every departure from sober rational conduct would be an emancipation from criminal justice.
Lord-Chancellor Erskine:
Speech in Defence of Hadfield,
Fixed seriousness heats the brain in some to distraction, and causeth an aching and dizziness in sounder heads.
Joseph Glanvill.
Read Haslam on insanity. This dreadful visitation he ascribes not to a false perception, or morbid intensity, but to a wrong association of ideas. There surely, however, must be more in it than this. I once asked a professional gentleman, who had particular opportunities of experience on the subject, whether he always found the brain of maniacs in a preternatural or disordered state. He said that he frequently, perhaps generally, did; but that in many cases where the faculties were most completely deranged, that organ had every appearance of being in a perfectly sound and healthy condition.
Thomas Green:
Diary of a Lover of Lit., June
5, 1798.
On the approach of mania, they first become uneasy, are incapable of confining their attention, and neglect any employment to which they have been accustomed. They get but little sleep; they are loquacious, and disposed to harangue and decide promptly and positively upon every subject that may be started. Soon after, they are divested of all restraint in the declaration of their opinions of those with whom they are acquainted. Their friendships are expressed with fervency and extravagance; their enmities with intolerance and disgust. They now become impatient of contradiction, and scorn reproof. For supposed injuries they are disposed to quarrel and fight with those about them. They have all the appearance of persons inebriated; and those who are unacquainted with the symptoms of approaching mania generally suppose them in a state of intoxication. At length suspicion creeps upon the mind: they are aware of plots which had never been contrived, and detect motives that were never entertained. At last the succession of ideas is too rapid to be examined: the mind becomes crowded with thoughts, and confusion ensues. Those under the influence of the depressing passions will exhibit a different train of symptoms. The countenance wears an anxious and gloomy aspect; and they are little disposed to speak. They retire from the company of those with whom they formerly associated; seclude themselves in obscure places, or lie in bed the greater part of their time. Frequently they will keep their eyes fixed to some objects for hours together, or continue them an equal time bent on vacuity. They next become fearful, and conceive a thousand fancies; often recur to some immoral act which they have committed, or imagine themselves guilty of crimes which they never perpetrated; believe that God has abandoned them, and with trembling await his punishment. Frequently they become desperate, and endeavour by their own hands to terminate an existence which appears to be an afflicting and hateful encumbrance.
Dr. John Haslam.
Insane people easily detect the nonsense of other madmen.
Dr. John Haslam.
All power of fancy over reason is a degree of insanity.
Dr. Samuel Johnson.
High spirits, as they are generally termed, are the first symptoms of this kind of disorder [insanity]: they excite a man to take a larger quantity of wine than usual (for those who have fallen under my observation, in this particular, have been naturally very sober); and the person thus affected, from being very abstemious, reserved, and modest, shall become quite the contrary: drink freely, talk boldly, obscenely, swear, sit up till midnight, sleep little, rise suddenly from bed, go out a hunting, return again immediately, set all the servants to work, and employ five times the number that is necessary: in short, everything he says or does betrays the most violent agitation of mind, which it is not in his power to correct, and yet, in the midst of all this hurry, he will not misplace one word, or give the least reason for any one to think he imagines things to exist that really do not, or that they appear to him different from what they do to other people. They who see him but seldom, admire his vivacity, are pleased with the sallies of his wit and the sagacity of his remarks: nay, his own family are with difficulty persuaded to take proper care of him, until it becomes absolutely necessary, from the apparent ruin of his health and fortune.
Dr. John Monro:
Remarks on Dr. Batties Treatise on Madness,
London, 1758, 8vo.
The physician should never deceive them [the insane] in anything, but more particularly with regard to their distemper; yet, as they are generally conscious of it themselves, they acquire a kind of reverence for those who know it, and by letting them see that he is thoroughly acquainted with their complaint he may very often gain such an ascendant over them that they will readily follow his directions.
Dr. John Monro.
Of what is the most subtile folly made, but of the most subtile wisdom? As great friendships spring from great enmities, and vigorous healths from mortal diseases, so from the rare and quick agitations of our souls proceed the most wonderful and most depravd frenzies; tis but a half turn of the toe from the one to the other. In the actions of mad men we see how infinitely madness resembles the most vigorous operations of the soul. Who does not know how indiscernible the difference is betwixt folly and the elevations of a spritely soul, and the effects of a supream and extraordinary vertue? Plato says that melancholick persons are the most capable of discipline, and the most excellent, nor indeed is there any so great a propension to madness. Great wits are ruind by their own proper force and quickness.
Michel de Montaigne:
Cottons 3d ed., ch. lxix.
The characteristic symptom of human madness is the rising up in the mind of images not distinguishable by the patient from impressions on the senses.
William Paley.
What, I may be asked, is my test of insanity? I have none. I know of no unerring, infallible, and safe rule or standard, applicable to all cases. The only logical and philosophic mode of procedure in doubtful cases of mental alienation is to compare the mind of the lunatic at the period of his suspected insanity with its prior natural and healthy condition; in other words, to consider the intellect in relation to itself, and to no artificial
a priori
test. Each individual case must be viewed in its own relations. It is clear that such is the opinion of the judges, notwithstanding they maintained, as a test of responsibility, a knowledge of right and wrong. Can any other conclusion be drawn from the language used by the judges when propounding in the House of Lords their view of insanity in connection with crime? The facts, say they, of each particular case must of necessity present themselves with endless diversity and with every shade of difference in each case; and it is their duty to declare the law upon each particular case, upon facts proved before them; and after hearing arguments of counsel thereon, they deem it at once impracticable, and at the same time dangerous to the administration of justice if it were practicable, to attempt to make minute applications of the principles involved in the answers given by them to the questions proposed. This is a safe, judicious, and philosophic mode of investigating these painful cases; and if strictly adhered to, the ends of justice would be secured, and the requirements of science satisfied.
Dr. Forbes Winslow.

How to Build Quick and Affordable Shelves
There may be Christmas tunes playing right now. Am I the only one?
Our new house has some funky living spaces. First, when you come through the front door, you walk right into the only official living space in the house. This does not work for me. I'm not the kind of person who needs a formal sitting room or big vaulted entryway, but I'm not a fan of walking right into the TV room. Here's how the real estate listing showed the room and how we have it for now, until we tear a wall down.
Second, the house is officially four bedrooms, but the 4th bedroom is a large room on the main floor that should clearly be the family/TV room. Since it wasn't designed as the TV room, the space is awkward because it has a closet and doesn't naturally fit couches or a TV.
We've made our existing couches work for now, but the only place for the TV is along a looong wall that drowns out our small table that was functioning as our entertainment center. I was ready to throw my hands up with this room and accept that for now, it would be functional and I'd worry about designing the space after I dealt with the rest of the house.
An aside, the minute I give up on something, I end up diving into it full force. e.g. after years of freaking out about taking fish off the fishing hook, I declared one summer during college I was giving up on fishing. Then, I went back to Bozeman for school—where you can't not fish—a month later and took up fly fishing like it was my job. This happens over and over. So, as soon as I gave up on the TV room, I figured out a plan for the entertainment center, which turned out to be a college throwback solution.
Cinderblocks! I know, you're thinking one of two things: are you a 20 year old guy? or, you have a job, buy a real piece of furniture. But here's the deal, since the space is a little funky and we're still figuring out the best set up, I don't want to commit to a large furniture purchase. And, I like the rustic, industrial look of using building materials in decor. I can't wait to show you what I've got up my sleeves with a whole stack of metal pipes.
I measured the wall length and ran to Lowe's and picked up some simple cinderblocks and headed to the shelving section. At this point my cart was crazy heavy and I was getting some weird looks as I tried to maneuver 252lbs (I looked it up, #nerdalert) of cinderblocks around the store. I found these boards that look like a patchwork quilt #love.
I spent at least an hour detangling all our cords. Taz was a big help.
I defrosted bacon for dinner. #multitasking
Ahhhh! That feels better.
Then, I threw together the bookshelf. It took 30 minutes to carry in all the cinderblocks and under 10 to set up the shelf. I tried really hard to hide all the cords, but totally failed, so no tips on that today.
Once I get this room painted and commit to the decor, I plan to whitewash the cinderblocks and stain the boards to bring out the patchwork pattern. We're just to the unpacking point where I'll break out all the things I style bookshelves with. So for now, here it is!
Love this wood grain! Can't wait to stain it.
Have Lowe's cut the boards to the length you need in the store. This saves you a step at home.
Use unfinished shelving boards to keep the price down.
Keep the space between cinderblocks to under 3 feet so your boards don't bow. Or, stack books under the longer span if you want less blocks.
Project Cost: $98
I've seen some great cinderblock projects out there. Have you used them in creative home projects?

I'm hoping you'll be able to help me. Or maybe it would help that I'm writing this down and telling it to someone, I don't know. I'm in my early 20's, female and live in the UK.
I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. About four or five years ago, it was quite debilitating and I found it difficult to concentrate on schoolwork and ended up not attending school very much at all as getting out of bed was such a struggle for me.
Over the last few years though, I've found it much more manageable.
However, as we're entering October, I'm suffering much more than I've ever done.
I'm constantly tired and find it too much to concentrate on tasks at work (I work full time as an administration assistant), therefore I fall behind with deadlines.
My sleep pattern is erratic, alternating between not being able to wake up and not being able to get to sleep.
I'm plagued with feelings of despair, as if the world is going to end and have regular panic attacks. I feel tearful or cry at some point every day. I even have a nasty cold sore for the first time in about 7 years.
Aside from my struggling with SAD, I recently came out of a four-year relationship. While the break-up wasn't acrimonious, we were living together and my ex-boyfriend has now moved out.
I'm trying to adjust to life as a single girl for the first time in four years, but I'm struggling with the fact that I now live alone.
Not only is it lonely and makes me feel somewhat overwhelmed by the thought that it's just me taking care of myself for once, my income is now, of course, considerably less than before. I can still get by with paying bills and the like, but I'm pinching every penny and it's leading me to feel worthless and even more depressed.
Now work is also very stressful. Staffing is short and the workload is high and I feel as if I'm running on autopilot.
I'm becoming increasingly concerned that I'm going to burnout or break down, as my daily routine is to get up alone in my flat, head off to work in the ever increasingly darker mornings, work all day in a stressful environment – feeling tired and sluggish, go home to an empty flat, barely be bothered to cook for myself as all I'm craving is junk food that I can't afford and head to bed early to cry myself to sleep.
I just want some advice as to whether this is just a bad case of SAD or something worse. And what can I do to help minimise my stress?
I just feel trapped and lost.
Thanks for your time.

I am 19 and have gone through a number of changes recently. Within a year I graduated from high school, got my first home and got married.
A few months ago my husband's best friend moved in with us – only for a few weeks, but then the weeks turned into months. Initially it worked out fine, but now things are getting totally out of hand.
We have a big TV in our house. Recently this man decided to buy a projector, put it in the middle of the lounge floor, and put up a white sheet in the middle of my house. He did not ask for permission, and when I asked him to take the stuff out of the way, he just ignored me.
He also bought an additional TV so that he and my husband could play games together, each using their own TV. I just got ignored in all of this, as if I don't exist.
My husband works day shifts and his friend works nights. This friend decides when the air conditioning should be switched on during the day, and he takes control of the TV all day because he does not like my choice of shows.
Before this man moved in with us, we coped financially, but now we often overspend because just the food he eats cost more than the minimal rent he pays.
Our bills for internet use, phone and electricity have gone up. He claims that he cannot pay more rent, but he spends cash on computer games, brand-new state-of-the-art TV sets and other gadgets that are taking over my house.
I like to keep things neat and tidy, but it is impossible with this man making a mess all day and never cleaning up after himself.
My husband and I have started to argue about things that we in the past had no problems with.
Is it wrong to feel the way I do?
How you use your own sexuality is your choice. How you use the sexuality of others is abuse.
Some stagnated relationships are just a phase, while others are due to fear of letting go.

GREENSBORO, N.C. –UNCG junior goalkeeper Jon Milligan (Mount Pleasant, S.C./Wando) has been named the Southern Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Month for September, the league office announced Thursday. Milligan won back-to-back SoCon Player of the Week honors to close out the month and led all league goalkeepers in each category in September.
Milligan posted five-straight shutouts to end the month of September, helping the Spartans to a 4-3-1 record during the month. He earned SoCon Player of the Week honors the last two weeks of September, earning his first after a pair of 1-0 victories over Appalachian State and Campbell.
Milligan earned his second weekly honor as he opened league play with two-straight shutouts, holding defending league champion ETSU scoreless in a 0-0 tie and leading the Spartans to a 2-0 win over No. 18 Furman. He posted a season-high seven saves against North Carolina and boasted a SoCon-best 0.60 goals against average in the month of September.
Milligan and the Spartans hit the road Saturday night as they travel to Macon, Ga., facing off against Mercer at 7 p.m. The game begins a stretch where UNCG plays three out of its next four games on the road.
