"I asked for custom colors, wording and quick turnaround on this invitation. The review process was exceptional!

We were so pleased! I highly recommend!"

A handful of the nation's banks will have to pay for the foreclosure fraud that has rocked the United States economy. In February, the federal government announced the National Mortgage Settlement, requiring $25 billion to be divided among the states. Part of the settlement will help individual Georgians stay in their homes through refinancing. But the cash payout, nearly $100 million paid directly to the state, won't go to homeowners. Not a penny of this cash settlement will go toward housing needs.Georgia ranks at the top of states hurt by foreclosure, and most of those troubled homes have been in the metro area. But the governor and the state legislature decided $100 million is going somewhere else. Andy Huff lives in the up and coming White Oak Hills neighborhood. It's located across the street from a 10-acre DeKalb County condominium complex that is falling apart."This is a prime example of how banks failed us in the foreclosure crisis," said Huff.Blue Sky was once an ambitious project to turn Memorial Avenue apartments into condos. But the Blue Sky owner's conviction for mortgage fraud threw it off course, then the economy stumbled and the 144 units were nearly deserted. "Frankly, the only people that were living here, were here living illegally," said Huff.The foreclosure impacted the neighbors, but squatters called it home. They tapped into the power line for electricity. Gangs moved in, and crime spiked.The White Oak Hills neighborhood panicked when police raided the complex to clear out the homeless. They found an unregistered sex offender had set up shop. Blue Sky security says they found ropes attached to a chair that could have been a potential torture device."We need something positive to happen on properties like this, not continued blight, continued abandonment, continued crime," said Huff.The $25 billion National Mortgage Settlement with banks seemed like a way to solve foreclosure problems like Blue Sky. One piece of the settlement is supposed to go to individual homeowners with loan problems, but none of that $100 million in cash will."Now, they're being made to pay up and here in Georgia we are not using that money to do what it was intended to do," Huff said.In a press release, the Georgia attorney general said the intent of the settlement is to prevent foreclosures. Examples include assistance hotlines, mediation programs, legal assistance, and anti-blight programs.That's not how this windfall of cash will be used. Legally, the state can use this money anyway it wants. Gov. Nathan Deal is using it to fund two economic development projects with much of it benefiting rural Georgia. In a statement, the Governor said "the best way to prevent home foreclosures is to create more jobs," and new investment. Kate Little, president of Ga. State Trade Association of Non-Profit Developers, says it's a travesty of justice. She says activists appealed to the governor to change his mind, but their calls and e-mails were unanswered. "None of it is specifically earmarked for the counties which are suffering the most," said Little.So the dilapidated Blue Sky complex, the size of nine footballs fields, will sit while the county foots the bill for its security. There is other money on the way, but that will be doled out by the banks for loan or interest rate reduction. But you will have to apply for it.

DD has been going to a montessori from 2yrs old. It is a small privately run school with only 10 kids per age grp(2-3, 3-4 and 4-5) and 2 teachers for each classroom..
They did an excellent job abt helping out with potty training etc for DD. and DD has learnt a lot since starting from there..
They are preparing the kids for the trainsition to the 3 yr old classroom.. where the requirement is to be able to hold the pencil so they can write alphabets and small 3 letter words in the 3yr old classroom...The teacher says that DD is very interlligent and has good memory but she does not like any actviity which involves holding the pencil like coloring, drawing lines etc and at that time her focus is so bad she looks here and there or says NO to the teacher..
I work with her at home and notice the same thing she doesnt want to do coloring or drawing lines , shapes etc but she will sit for hrs to do puzzles, read books or play any other toy etc.
The teacher feels her hands r weak and bcoz of that she is not showing interest.
How do I get her to focus more during coloring, writing etc at home so it will help in school as well..I bought her some fun kumon tracing books for 2yr olds...
ANy suggestions?

Gosh, Chrissy; I didn't realize things weren't so good between you two. I'm sorry you feel like you have to split up.
Gosh, Chrissy; I didn't realize things weren't so good between you two. I'm sorry you feel like you have to split up.
I pressure myself to always remain calm and think before I speak with my girls whenever something happens. He doesn't seem to have that at all and some of the stuff he says...omg. I can't be perfect all the time and I cannot make him just know how to act. It's exhausting explaining everything to him all the time.
And then there are the moments when he tries to use an ATM and it's out of order so he calls me to ask me what to do. Seriously. I'm still bent about that because it's just ridiculous. I make all the decisions-even the teeny, tiny, itty, bittie little ones. I'm fed up with it.
There isn't much I can do about anything right now anyway. I have to help get the mortgage caught up and that's going through October. Then it's November & Christmas season and I couldn't imagine making such a drastic change during that time. Not so much because of me or Rich, but because of the kids. So I'm still thinking....and waiting for things to get better.
I know exactly what you mean. I have to explain everything to DH too. The same things over and over again. It's like talking to Josh. LOL
My mom came over today and brought me a ton of little worksheets I had done in like, first grade. A lot of them were questions about the future, like what did I want to be when I grew up and stuff like that.
But some things I wrote really astounded me and they were totally a reflection of those studies you see about raising girls vs. raising boys. One sheet said what kind of grown up do you want to be and some of the things I said was "pretty, not short, nice, cute, happy". (and look at me, I ended up short, average looking and depressed! lol) I was shocked. It made me think twice about the things we expose Josh to.
I understand your frustrations Chrissy. I consider my own DH a large child. He is constantly asking me to do things and what should he do and my biggest pet peeve question of his, (crazy as it sounds) is when he is at a store and doesn't have money in his account he will call me and ask me to transfer some money to his account. I'm like, why in the hell didn't you just call yourself instead of calling me. His response is always that he doesn't know how. I showed him how so I know he knows and I know this is a miniscule issue, but it bothers me big time every time it occurs. I sometimes feel he does it on purpose because he knows that that small request will drive me over the edge.
I do feel that eventually I'll get tired of my DH, I think probably when the kids are older, like when Elle is 12 or so. I just know that it gets tiring, to do everything and always have to make the decisions. My DH won't even clean or make dinner or wake the kids up unless I tell him. I let him know a few times that I'm not telling him these things anymore as no one ever tells me to do them so why must I continue to tell him. All those little things add up. And with you being under so much stress right now, I can see why you would want some escape to just relax.
I confess, today is my grandmother's birthday. She was the only person in my life whom I trusted and who I could depend on to do what they said they would do. I went on Facebook and my aunt had posted some words in her memory and I nearly cried. It is strange that after so much time, I still miss her and I still want to talk to her and tell her what is going on with me, especially since I actually have a phone now and a stable place to live. I wish she were still alive so she could come visit me.
Chrissy, I can see how right now in your life you want someone really strong with a take charge attitude so you can be weak sometimes if that's how you feel. It's not fair for you to always have to be the strong reliable one.
Dbf is like that too as far as wanting to ask me everything but with him it is his passive aggressive away of pointing out my shortcomings, usually related to housekeeping. For example, with my answer in parentheses:
"Are the dishes in the dishwasher clean or dirty?" (LOOK)
"What is in this container I found in the back of the fridge? Is it garbage or do we save it?" And he will ask that about 6 different things in a row. (LOOK) This is his way of ragging on me for "wasting food".
Picking things off the floor, "Where does this go? Where does this go? Where does this go?" () This is just his way of making sure that I know he's cleaning up
And my favorite, "So...are we having dinner tonight, or no?"() Translation: I'm hungry.

, Erin.
Aw, Erin, your gran would be proud. I think like that about my pappaw. I wish he could have met my DH and boys. He would have loved them.
Hi! I'm celebrating! Sorry for not responding to others but I'm on my fourth big glass of wine. Home study went great! She was here like an hour, didn't ask anything difficult. It was mostly a tour of the house...which since we built, we are awfully proud of and definitely love...and just finishing up paperwork. It was much easier and quicker than we expected. And bonus is now the house is already clean for the weekend and we got most of the errands ran today after she got left. It's so fun doing stuff on a weekday. Ok will write later when I'm not having to correct most of my typing.
That is great news, Jennifer! I'm not surprised everything went smoothly, though. Wish I could share that wine with you, not that there's any left. We just had the worst bedtime ever. I blame disney. I swear, whenever we watch a disney movie before bed the kids are all weird. I am seriously ready to just put the kabosh on it. It's like these cartoons are too stimulating. And I know both Savana and Kai are bothered by the dark side of all these shows and that makes them not want to go to sleep. They aren't like that after Little Bear!
So I went to the fridge to grab a nice cold beer and of course there are none. Whaaaaa!
Oh, and dbf texted me a picture of himself standing on the streets of Manhattan with Mickey and Minnie.
I texted him back that his outfit doesn't match.
Poor Mark.
Orange shirt with red and white plaid shorts.
It's 4am and I have a killer headache again.
My appt with the head dr was yesterday which I obviously had to cancel since I've no one to watch the children.
Well, I guess the long-ish response I typed up on my phone 9 hrs ago never made it over my connection. Fargin' technology. :/
I'll have to try to resurrect it tomorrow.
DH is away this weekend, it's 3 am, and I've already slept 6 hours, as I couldn't get out of Bodhi's comfy bed to brush my teeth. I did this earlier this week, and I was a zombie for staying awake 4 hrs in the middle of the night, so I'd better try to put myself back to sleep, but to you all, and hasta manana.
Oh Bridget that really makes me angry now. Seriously-I think he should have foregone that invitation just to be there and take care of the kids so you could make your appointment...and that's not even taking into account the other stuff. I'm so sorry. You deserve better.
This weekend is going so well that I am pretty much over being upset that he went. And he is calling and texting me constantly so I know he's not off doing weird ****. I keep thinking about Erin and how your dh always ends up being bored and annoyed when he goes off on excursions. That seems the case here. I just want to keep off that fine line between being zen and apathetic.
Outside of the headache from hell, which has gone away just tonight, we've had a pretty fun weekend. Oh, the greatest thing happened. A few weeks ago I took the kids to a history museum in madison and when we went several other places as well but I lost the camera that day. The museum was the last place I took pictures. This is a $500 camera that dbf bought when he was doing that tour company in HI so he could take pics of people snorkeling. I called the museum twice to check and they said no camera.
Well today we went to the farmer's market and we were walking by the museum. I said to myself outloud that maybe I should check again in person. Then I kept walking and Savana who had heard me asked me why I wasn't going to see if they had the camera so I went in. They HAD it! The guy at the desk right away was like, "Yes there is a camera, I've seen it several times. It sat on the front desk for a week!"
Doooooood, why did these other people put me in agony over this??? Dbf was hounding me so bad about the camera and how expensive it is and it's our only one and we use it all the time. I knew he was right, too because we are too broke to be losing our camera. But I stayed really calm and cool about it and kept telling him it would turn up.
Sure enough. Phew!

Thanks, Chrissy. I must say it is making me realize how little he does regarding the children. It's like I am doing all the same work but without the little cloud of resentment that he's here and not helping. The only thing that's been difficult is having him to hold Sawyer while I cook or grab the laundry. But Kai and and Savana are really stepping up to keep him entertained. They are a little too much and sometimes he looks over at me like like, "Um....am I ok over here?" I just give him a smile and then he's all good.
Sawyer is really just the sweetest baby I have ever known and I'm not just saying that because he's mine. Seriously, I will be holding him and going about my business and all of a sudden I look and he's just staring at my face. Like, right into my eyes and as soon as I say hi he breaks into a huge smile and buries his face in my shoulder. Sometimes he will just reach out and put his hand on my face. I mean sometimes he pinches my face and pulls my hair or just gives me a whap with his flailing arms but I swear he's an old soul, this one.
I had a whole thing typed out but I navigated away from the page by accident
Such sweet kids we have! I'm glad you got your camera back Bridget!
I went to that show last night that was featuring one of the New Kids. It was great and my friend had a great time. She hadn't seen any of the NKOTB since she was a teenager. I think she's got the new kids bug now ;)
Remember I said we had back row seats-well the place only filled up halfway! So we got to move about halfway up. It was lots of fun.
So glad you got the camera back Bridget!! And Sawyer sounds like such a darling boy. I just love children, they are just perfect people IMO even with all the crying and pooping and screaming LOL. I think they are just very pure and genuine until adults or other kids try to mess them up.
Your conversations between your DBF and yourself sound like mine and DH's. He was also very critical of my housekeeping and still is to a point but it does not bother me anymore so he doesn't bring it up as much as he used to. If he asks me about something in the fridge, I tell him to smell it. If he asks me about dishes in the dishwasher, I say I don't know, but he can look and see. I do my best not to sound irritated (still not good with this about the transferring of money thing I mentioned before though LOL). I also encouraged him to use his awesome, better than mine, houskeeping skills to create some sort of chore chart for himself and I would fill in the rest. He didn't do that and instead cut back on his housekeeping b itchiness.
I hope your DBF has a very boring time. It used to make me chuckle when DH has a bad time on his excursions. The last one was to Savannah for one of his friend's wedding as well. He had a horrible time and said next time he goes we should all go and do some history tours. I think he underestimated the fact that his drinking buddy was getting married and was actually the groom so would have responsibilities with the wedding. DH ended up spending most of his time at his friend's mom's house helping them cut up veggies and carry around the gifts LOL.
Erin you hit the nail on the head. Dbf spent one whole day "sightseeing" with his drinking buddy's parents who drive really slow and smoke in the car. There isn't much he hates more than seconhand smoke and riding in a car! I couldn't muster up too much sympathy!
The wedding was yesterday and he called me around midnight saying he was on his way home and I could tell he was not intoxicated so that made me feel happy with him.
Bridget, that's great that it sounds like your DBF is behaving himself while away. I just realized that S is eating broccoli in your siggy pic. That's our favorite veg around here!
We had a great day at a place called Newby Hall. Here's a link to it:
We just did the outside walks and children's playgrounds, but it was a great day. Travis rode on the little train. He was well behaved except for near the end of the day when he got in the sand pit. He got really giddy and kicked some sand and it went right all over a lady who was watching her kid on the side. I took him out and told him he wouldn't be going back in since he did that. He sat there and pouted for a minute, so I told him if he said sorry to the lady, then we'd think about letting him go back in. So, he went right back up to her and told her he was sorry. I was so proud of him that he knew he'd done something he shouldn't have and apologized.
He's starting school in a few weeks and I'm starting to feel sad about it. He currently goes to daycare one day a week and I miss him during that day, so I know I'm going to miss him when he's going to start going 2.5 days.
Aww, what a good boy for knowing he was wrong and apologizing.
I went up to the mall the get my eyebrows waxed and stopped into the Sprint store to check out their phones. I've been thinking about switching to them from Verizon for nearly a year-since I learned that on Sprint all 5 of us could have data plans for roughly the same amount we'd been paying Verizon. The sales lady was so good, she got it all set up for me and I had 45 days to decide...I went back 2 hours later & got us all new phones.
Dh isn't picky so he didn't want to go. He just said, "get me whatever you get yourself." Ok Mr.Barely.Use.A.Cell.Phone. You're getting a geeky smart phone. He isn't going to know what to do with it.
Our rep got us great phones for no $ down. We don't even have to wait for rebates. I only had to buy a few phone holders and screen protectors, which I would have anyway. We're all happy little geeks learning our new phones.

Hello All! My name is Angela and I blog over at Cut To Pieces. I'm so pleased to be able to share with you all my very first Moda Bake Shop quilt! But not my last ;) It was very fun to be able to use Kate Spain's newest Christmas Line, Flurry. This is actually the first Christmas quilt that I have ever made and I was delighted to have an excuse. But don't worry if Christmas Fabrics are not your thing! I have lots of other fabric options to show you below. So keep reading.
This twin sized quilt is a very versatile design that looks fabulous with any fabric. I actually think it would be a great design for a quilt for a male, which can be hard to find. And the beauty of this quilt is that it is all made from the same block pattern, so it goes quickly! I pieced the top in one weekend. So put off all of your quilt projects and tackle this one. I promise you won't be disappointed. ;)
• One Fat Quarter Bundle of Flurry by Kate Spain (or Two jelly rolls!)
• 3.125 yards of Bella Solid Navy
• 3.5 yards of Aqua Snuggles fabric (60" wide) for the backing
• 1 yard of Flurry Snowdrift Peppermint Swirl for the binding
Each block in this quilt is made exactly the same way. So all of the cutting and sewing instructions are the same for every block. Each block is made up of (9) pieces of fabric, all either a different size or a different print. There are 35 blocks that make up the quilt.
The Navy Bella Solid:
Fold the yardage in half selvage to selvage.
Cut (11) 4.5" wide strips across the width of the fabric.
Cut (24) 2.5" wide strips across the width of the fabric.
•select (4) of the 4.5" wide navy strips and from those cut (35) 4.5" x 4.5" squares. You can get 9 pieces per strip.
•select (7) of the 4.5" wide navy strips and from those cut (35) 8.5" x 4.5" pieces. You can get 5 pieces per strip.
*This measurement is fairly exact, so you may want to give yourself an extra strip if necessary.*
•select (3) of the 2.5" wide navy strips and from those cut (35) 2.5" x 2.5" squares. You can get 16 pieces per strip.
(cutting a strip into 2.5" inch squares)
•select (9) of the 2.5" wide navy strips and from those cut (35) 10.5" x 2.5" pieces. You can get 4 pieces per strip.
•select (12) of the 2.5" wide navy strips and from those cut (35) 12.5" x 2.5" pieces. You can get 3 pieces per strip.
(shown here are the three sizes of navy pieces that are 2.5" wide)
The Fat Quarter Bundle:
Choose 21 Fat Quarters from the Bundle. Select 14 of those 21 to be double blocks and 7 to be single blocks. Do this by choosing a layout. Lay the fabrics out, 3 across and 7 down. Place them in such a way that you have a pleasing balance of color, scale and print. All three will keep your eye moving.
When you are pleased with your arrangement, proceed with cutting.
For the 14 fat quarters that will double (ie the ones that you are making two blocks of), cut (3) strips 2.5" x length of the fat quarter (generally 22").
•select (1) strip and cut (2) 10.5" x 2.5" pieces.
•select (1) strip and cut (2) 8.5" x 2.5" pieces.
•select (1) strip and cut (2) 4.5" x 2.5" AND (2) 2.5" x 2.5" pieces.
For the 7 fat quarters that are single blocks, cut (2) strips 2.5" x length of the fat quarter (generally 22").
•select (1) strip and cut (1) 10.5" x 2.5" piece.
•select (1) strip and cut (1) 8.5" x 2.5" AND (1) 4.5" x 2.5" AND (1) 2.5" x 2.5" pieces.
*note: if using jelly rolls for this, simply skip the step that requires you to cut the fabric into 2.5" strips and go straight to cutting the actual pieces required. You will need (2) jelly rolls to achieve the displayed quilt.*
Sew each block together in the alphabetized order from A to I, always pressing toward the newest piece added to the block.
A. Navy 2.5" x 2.5" square
B. Print 2.5" x 2.5" square
C. Print 4.5" x 2.5" piece
D. Navy 4.5" x 4.5" square
E. Navy 8.5" x 4.5" piece
F. Print 8.5" x 2.5" piece
G. Print 10.5" x 2.5" piece
H. Navy 10.5" x 2.5" piece
I. Navy 12.5" x 2.5" piece
Pieces A and B
Place right sides together and sew.
For faster piecing, you may find it helpful to do some chain piecing, particularly at the beginning.
Pieces A and B with C.
Place right sides together and sew.
Press seam toward piece C. (always towards the newest piece)
Pieces A,B,and C with D
Place right sides together and sew.
(try not to notice that I didn't press my seam here the way that I am telling you to.)
Press the seam toward D.
Pieces A,B,C,D with E.
Place right sides together and sew.
Press seam toward E.
Pieces A,B,C,D,E with F (stop me when I'm boring you!).
Place right sides together (big shock...) and sew.
Let's skip ahead a couple, shall we? Eventually you attach that last piece onto your block!
Each block finishes at 12.5" x 12.5" unfinished.
Sew the (5) blocks in each row together, taking care to match your seams at the double block. Press the seams open.
Sew each row together, pinning as necessary. Press open the seams.
Two Rows Together.
Putting the 4th row on.
The whole quilt top together!
A detailed shot of the top:
I used Moda's Snuggles Fabric for ultimate comfort in the cold winter months. You may have thought that this fabric was just for baby blankets, but let me tell you. Adults love it too!
This fabric comes in a 60" width, so you will have some extra left over if you piece the back together. But that will guarantee you have enough fabric on all the sides for quilting. You will need 3.5 yards, cut in half and seamed together across the middle width of the back.
You can certainly back the quilt with a quilting weight cotton as well which is typically a 45" width. You will need 5 yards cut into (2) 2.5 yard pieces and seamed together along the long edge of the fabric.
Completing the Quilt:
Use your favorite basting method to baste together the backing, batting and quilt top. I chose to use a slightly lofty wool batting in this quilt to make it extra warm in the cold winter months.
Then quilt as desired. I had the fun of sending this quilt to a professional long arm quilter (my very first time!) mainly due to time constraints with my recent move 1000 miles across the country. But I had her quilt it the way that I intended to quilt it myself on my conventional home machine. I chose a simple echo quilting pattern that emphasizes the lines of the quilt pattern. I love how it turned out, but I'm a straight line kind of gal. The beauty of this quilt is that there are really so many different options for quilting. I also considered an all over cross hatch pattern, a simple meander pattern, and even a bow like pattern on the "top" of each "gift box". So there is definitely a little something for everyone.
I bound my quilt using (7) 2 3/4" wide strips sewn together on the bias. I fold that in half all along the length and stitch to the edge of the quilt. Then I flip the folded edge to the back of the quilt and hand sew in place. Just a simple double fold binding method. I used a slightly wider strip than usual because of the loft of the wool batting. If I were using a flat cotton batting, use a 2 1/4" wide strip.
Color/Fabric Alternatives:
I know that not everyone is going to want to make a Christmas Quilt, but don't let that stop you from trying this pattern out with other fabrics. There are endless possibilities of fabric combinations that make for some very interesting and modern quilts. Here are just a few mock ups that I have put together.
Try a monochromatic quilt with a solid background.
Can't get enough of rainbows? Give one of these versions a try!
Want to try out a new line coming out? Here's what a little Hometown could look like.
And just because I'm such a fan of aqua, I had to show you an option with an aqua background. ;)
One twin sized quilt measuring 60" x 84".
Inspired yet? I hope so! I'd love to see any versions you make of this quilt. You can share them on Flickr in my group Cut To Pieces and of course the Moda Bake Shop group.
Come on...how can you resist this quilt?

By Robin SchwartzFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- Belle Isle, a place known for its beauty, peace and tranquility, brought out anger and frustration Monday at a public hearing in city council chambers.Many people who came to speak lashed out at council members who support a deal to lease Belle Isle to the state."They are evil. They view us with a lack of respect. They don't care anything about what the people here in the city of Detroit want," a woman said.The deal involves a 30 year lease with 30 year renewals, but the city and state both have the option to terminate the agreement every ten years. It's expected to save the city six to eight million dollars in operating costs. Residents could purchase an $11 pass to gain access to the island and other state parks for a year, but the money generated would go to the DNR and not Belle Isle.There are also other concerns."If this contract is written, it doesn't stop the state from demolishing any of the buildings, bathrooms, bridges on the park if they so choose to," a woman said."The state is not doing anything that Detroit cannot already do," another woman remarked.Supporters say the deal is a prime opportunity to restore the 985 acre park, which has seen better days."We wouldn't be here today if Detroit were able to maintain Belle Isle and I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't need to feel sad about the disrepair and the sorry state of the island," a woman said.Others call the agreement illegal because the state owes the city money and the charter says the city cannot enter into deals with debtors.So many people attended the hearing many were forced to sit in an auditorium and watch on a video screen with two armed police officers standing by.The mayor and the governor both support this plan. We know at least three city council members oppose it.It now does not appear council will vote on the issue Tuesday. It has been taken off the agenda, and, at this point, it is unclear when they will vote.
Aggressive wasps have forced an entire neighborhood in Detroit to come to a standstill.

Monday marks the first day on the job for Detroit's new Police Chief James Craig. Sunday, he joined us in the studio for Let It Rip Weekend. He tells us change is coming when it comes to fighting crime.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Schwartz's report.
Incoming Detroit Police Chief James Craig says he's ready to hit the ground running. For those who may question his $225,000 a year salary, in a city that's broke - he says the compensation is not excessive.
"This is one of the most violent cities right now in America," Craig told Fox 2. "We will change that - you can't put a cost on it. I don't know what the CEO of General Motors makes but if you ask any resident of the city of Detroit what's most important? Violence - reducing it - eliminating it."
So how does he plan to do that? Craig says he'll start by boosting morale. On day one he says he'll be meeting members of the community and he'll meet face-to-face with officers.
"I'm gonna talk to the rank and file because the rank and file count. Cops count. Leadership matters," he said.
His other top priority of course is reducing crime. Craig started out as a Detroit Police officer in 1977. He then spent 28 years with the LAPD. He was also police chief in Maine and Cincinnati. But, Detroit is home, the place he grew up and he says he's coming back to make a difference.
"When you look at any city and you look at violence in any city in America, there's only a small number of people that are perpetrating the violence," Craig says. "We to need, in a laser-like way, a very strategic way, identify those people and take them out of the equation. That will happen."
Craig will report directly to Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr. He's also said he plans to use citizens to help fight crime.

It's awesome! I can even tilt the awning down, so if your facing the sun at sunset it allows me to keep the sun out of my eyes longer! The side pocket is great for little things like keys, phone or a book/ magazine and it has a pouch under the umbrella to hold slim things like your id slim wallet or your phone. I can't keep my kids out of it either haha so I have to share sometimes.

I am introducing myself. I have been a member for quite sometime, but I am now just posting my story. My name is Jacinta. My husband Michael & I lost our beautiful daughter, Mia Alexandra 1 1/2 years ago at Christmas(12/23/02) from a complete placental abruption. I was 36 weeks pregnant and developed a severe, rapid onset of pre-e and HELLP. I did not have pre-existing hypertension issues. My readings pre-pregnancy were in the 100/115(systolic) over 60/70(diastolic) My last dr.'s visit was Friday 12/20/02, and my pressure was elevated(120/90). I had no visual swelling, or protein(???). They did the dipstick test, but there was NO mention about hypertension(PIH), or pre-e or preterm labor. On Wednesday 12/18/02, I had an u/s and Biophysical Profile with NST, and those looked good with her(except the dr. said she was a little small(SGA/IUGR?) and results were normal(???). On that Friday, the NST was done again and after my readings were 118/86 & 82. The doctor never gave me any instructions(meds, monitoring or bedrest). He just sent me home. Actually, he never came out to talk to me after the NST. I thought everything was OK, because there was nothing said. Within the next couple days, things drastically changed. I don't remember about any headaches or other symptoms before then. I look back now and realize that I had some unusual heartburn and later on had low urine output. On Sunday 12/22/02 in the evening, I started bleeding(bright red). I didn't want to assume something was wrong. I just thought I was getting an early Christmas gift. I went straight to the ER. On the way, I started to get the upper right abdominal pain. My pressure was over 200/100, I heard. Then, those dreadful words came. THERE IS NO HEARTBEAT!! My whole life felt like it came to an end----my baby was gone. I delivered her vaginally on Monday 12/23/02 @ 4 lbs. 12 oz. 19 in. long. I was given the choice to deliver via c-section, but I opted not to. Along with the pitocin, I was on a mega dose of mag sulfate, and Demerol. I couldn't get an epidural because my platelets were too low. I just went through the pain. Definitely, the loss of my baby girl has been the greatest pain. We have no living children. This was my 2nd pregnancy; I had a blighted ovum @ 12 weeks in 2001. Unfortunately, now I still have high blood pressure. It is hereditary(mother and grandmother). I am the only one in my family that has had this and has lost their child/children. All my friends have healthy children too. It is very difficult grieving for my daughter, and have other things like this to deal with also. I more than likely will have this the rest of my life.
I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathies to all of you that have gone through this horrible disease and have lost your baby also. I keep you in my thoughts daily.
Mommy to Mia Alexandra
12/23/02(stillborn @ 36 wks due to complete placental abruption, caused by severe PRE-E and HELLP SYNDROME)
Mia, "MY BUMPKIN"----
You complete me
You are my LIFE, my HEART and SOUL, forever...
my sweet, precious baby girl

By BOB CHRISTIE
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - Long in the minority in the Arizona Legislature and with little chance of getting any of their priorities passed, Democrats keep soldiering on.
This year, they've introduced measures to repeal the death penalty, allow same-sex marriage and let immigrant students to get driver's licenses. All that in addition to a plan that would revoke immigration laws enacted in recent years - specifically Senate Bill 1070.
None of the proposals has more than a glimmer of hope of being enacted, yet that hasn't stopped the Democrats from tilting at windmills.
Democrats often criticize some Republicans for bringing bills that have no chance, saying the measures are waste of time and money. But raising such bills to provoke debate is something both sides do.
Republican Senate President Andy Biggs said he'll assign every filed bill to a committee and see what happens.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by High Tech 3 Stripe Wind Pants This is a perfect pants that I love to wear and the mesh keeps the sweat and heat off me the in the tropical climate and the material is perfect for the weather. I wish there were more colors available for purchase. I would recommend this to a friend. December 27, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Peteacher99 Bad material These pants are like magnetic to dog hair. I put them on and didn't even sit down before leaving my house and my dogs hair was all over them. These are not the same as the old nylon wind pants. March 12, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by FermiFan Not the Best These windpants are not the best Adidas has to offer. The waist sits lower and is sloppy; the drawstring does little to not only adequately hold them up, but also smooth the look. There is too much 'material' for an appropriate, attractive fit. They also run a bit long and to hem them, you lose the zipper. Last drawback - there was no jacket to match them (which would have at least covered the very unattractive waistline of these pants). December 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Merc Finally-Wind Pants I agree with the customer who stated that wind pants are hard to find;finally I have found them at Adidas.com. Excellent quality, true to size, and very comfortable. Bonus: the waist band is not binding. September 27, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by aktg wind pants I got these because they had pockets. They fit well. A bit too long for me because I am short, but I can still wear them without too much dragging the ground. October 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Kadaddias 3 strips wind pants I absolutely love these, comfortable, light weight and look good! Wish there different colors of strips.... May 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by College Girl Dad Daughter Loves Them Bought these for my girl. She loves them for running in college. Please don't stop making these as it is difficult to find true windpants. August 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by chili good! quick and reliable! just in time for the holiday! December 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Punchie Don't like wind pants The pants are perfect for someone who enjoys wearing this type of pants. I did not fully read the product description so will be returning them and purchasing another product. December 18, 2013

Oral History Program Lucille Nebeker Interviewed by Sarah Langsdon 6 February 2006 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Lucille Nebeker Interviewed by Sarah Langsdon Assistant Curator of Special Collections 6 February 2006 Copyright © 2008 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees, who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Prisoners of War at Defense Depot Ogden oral history project is the documentation of the lives of the Italian and German prisoners that were held at DDO during World War II. The Ogden Defense Depot, designated as a POW camp on October 11, 1942, was one of the first ten camps in the country. An estimated 5,000 Italian prisoners and approximately 4,000 German prisoners were sent to the facility. The prisoners worked in local warehouses, farms, and orchards. After Italy surrendered in 1943, Italian Service Units were created which allowed the Italians greater freedom than the Germans, including visits to downtown Ogden. The camp closed during the summer of 1946 after the 10,000 prisoners were shipped home. This project contains interviews from people who had interaction with the Italian and German POWs, including the community of Weber County and POW widows. They discuss the daily lives of the prisoners which includes conditions at the camp, work related issues, and the feelings of the community surrounding the POW camp. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record.

Below: Lucille Nebeker in her home in Ogden, Utah on February 6, 2006. 1 Abstract: This is an oral interview with Lucille Nebeker. It was conducted on February 6, 2006 and concerns her recollections of the POW's in Ogden. The interviewer is Sarah Langsdon. SL: Tell us where you were born and raised. LN: I was born and raised in Harrisville, and I lived there until I was married. SL: What year were you born? LN: I was born in 1924. SL: In 1924, so you worked out at DDO, correct? LN: Yes. SL: When did you start at, I guess it wasn't DDO then, but the General Depot? LN: It was probably 1946. SL: Where did you work? What job did you do? LN: We drove lifts to start with and loading in the warehouse. We had to use the forklift and stack the boxes. Then I went over in the clothing section and repaired and inspected clothing. SL: What do you remember about working with the prisoners of war? LN: Well, they were good to the women. I mean, you had your own little groups. In fact, they were just right below my father's place in Harrisville. The end of the depot was just down over the tracks from where we lived. They used to take the prisoners to town in buses. They were better with the prisoners than they were with the soldiers who had to walk. SL: Did you work with Italians or Germans while you were driving the forklifts? 2 LN: Both. SL: Both, so your job was to pick up the pallets? LN: They had boxes of stuff sitting on pallets. The lift had big prongs and we would pick them up and stack them. SL: Then did you drive them to the railway cars? LN: Yes, we had to load and unload boxcars and we would stack them in the warehouses. SL: What did the prisoners do? LN: They didn't have much. They worked around doing odd jobs, not on the lift. They had them do a lot of jobs; sweeping, cleaning, and just warehouse-type stuff. SL: Did you interact with the prisoners? LN: Not too much. We were friendly with them and they used to bring us food. They would have a hot meal everyday. They would go over to the compounds and have a good lunch. So once in awhile they would bring us something SL: Did you ever have any problems with the prisoners? LN: I didn't, but there were some women that kind of got attacked. But, they shouldn't have been too friendly with them either, because they had been away from their homes for a lot of years. SL: Were there any problems with being a woman and the prisoners, especially the Italians? LN: Well, I think there was a group of ladies that kind of stuck together. We worked with them, and we would be nice to them, but we didn't get that friendly with them. 3 SL: Eleanor told us that you might have a story about some makeshift bedrooms back behind some boxes. LN: Yes, they had quite a business going back there. I don't know how the bosses found this out, but a couple of the ladies were making good money. When you stack boxes, you know, you usually put them right together. They had made a walkway down through the warehouse and put a cot down there and straw, so they could just go down there and disappear everyday, so I think the bosses must have known. But, anyway, he took us down there one day and showed us they had stacked the boxes so you couldn't see it straight through. Two or three of them were bragging about how much money they made one day. PU: So it was women that you knew that worked with you, there were a few of them that did that? LN: Yes, and I don't know how they got away with it because they kept pretty close track of us. It was some women that we were working with. SL: After you worked the forklifts, did you say you went to the clothing repair? Did you work with prisoners there? LN: No, that was after they had gone. The Germans came after they took Italians. The German prisoners were better workers than the Italian, really. They didn't fuss with the women. They just minded their own business. So you weren't kind of scared to be around them too much. You had to work with them, but you don't play with them. 4 PU: So they were real nice and you just did your work? Weren't your parents afraid that you were working with prisoners of war? Did your family like you doing that? Wanted you to do that? LN: I didn't want the prisoners to know where I lived because there was a lane right next to my dad's driveway that they used to bus the prisoners. They would take them to town and they just did everything. I just really didn't want them to know where I lived. So, if I ever saw the bus coming, I would go into the house. SL: Were you married at the time that you worked with the prisoners? LN: No, not right then. I was engaged, but I was married in 1946. That was right about that time or right after. PU: But, your parents didn't have any problems with you working there because of the prisoners of war? I mean, your parents weren't afraid, or did they just figure that you would be under good scrutiny? LN: They just felt like, I guess, I was old enough to take care of myself. A few of the soldiers had to find their own way. A lot of them had girlfriends who would pick them up, by this lane, where they would walk up. My dad found a few of their little toys out in the barn. His barn was right next to the walkway. But, we really didn't have any problems with them, as far as that goes. They never were around our house. SL: They never came up to you, being so close? LN: No, they had it pretty good. They were shipped around in a bus. Our soldiers had to find their own way. They walked a lot. They would take busloads of the Italian prisoners downtown and they just really had it pretty easy. They had good meals. 5 They would take them back and they would have three good meals a day. So they had it pretty neat. SL: Did you ever go to any of the parties that the Italians had? LN: I went out once. I think there were shows or something, but we didn't go to those. They had them. There were a lot of ladies that would go up there, but it wasn't my speed. SL: Do you remember seeing any of the prisoners in downtown Ogden? You said they bussed them out. Do you remember going to Ogden and seeing them around? LN: You saw them around, but where you worked with them you just didn't want to get that close to them. SL: Do you remember anything else working with them, or interacting? Any other stories? LN: It's been about 60 years. I can't remember that long ago. They used to bring us good food once in awhile. They would take them over to get a nice hot meal, and once in awhile they would bring us a few goodies. PU: Eleanor stopped working on the forklift because some boxes fell on her. Is that correct? But you continued on the forklift the whole time you were there, or did they take you off as well? LN: No, Eleanor was gone when I went over to the sewing department. She fell and she had bruises. She got hurt so she wanted to get off. I think about that time she went with her husband; he was in the Navy. So, I didn't see her when I went over to the sewing department, and then when I was doing warehouse work she was already gone with Virg. 6 SL: Eleanor had mentioned that one of the supervisors that you had had taken a bunch of photos. She said she had some of her and the prisoners, but that her husband made her throw them out. LN: I looked for them after her daughter, Leanne, called me and I must have thrown them out, too, because I couldn't find any either. SL: She said her husband couldn't believe that she was fraternizing with the prisoners. LN: Well, you have to work with them everyday. You have got to be decent. If you were rude, that is when they would get upset. You can be nice without getting too friendly. They were nice to us. At lunch, however, they would go on the bus and go back to their compounds to have their lunch, so as a group of ladies, we would just sit together and have our lunch. So, we really didn't have that. Then we would quit at 4 o'clock and they would go back on the busses. Then they had a few night things that I guess was nice for the ones, but I wasn't interested. SL: Well, thank you. PU: We appreciate that. Thank you.

Nationally, foreclosures are at a five-year low. That's not the case in Connecticut, according to RealtyTrac, which reports 34 percent increase in foreclosures from the previous. The real estate information company attributes the increase to Connecticut's court-based foreclosure process.
Twenty-five other states share a similar judicial foreclosure process, and thirteen of those bucked the national trend and saw more foreclosures.
Foreclosure filings totaled 180,427 in the U.S. in September, down 7 percent from August and 16 percent from September 2011. The last time the foreclosure rate was so low was in July 2007.
"We've been waiting for the other foreclosure shoe to drop since late 2010, when questionable foreclosure practices slowed activity to a crawl in many areas, but that other shoe is instead being carefully lowered to the floor and therefore making little noise in the housing market — at least at a national level," said Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac, in a written statement.
He added, "Make no mistake, however, the other shoe is dropping quite loudly in certain states, primarily those where foreclosure activity was held back the most last year."
Connecticut recently won a $1.5 billion settlement from banks, and the money is earmarked to go to people who had their homes foreclosed.

More demonstrations regarding the Chicago Transit Authority's troubled Ventra card payment program are expected, as the CTA Board met to vote on the 2014 budget Wednesday.
Protesters chanted outside Tuesday night's board meeting, which was supposed to be about the budget. But most of the people who spoke vented their anger on Ventra.
Riders have been complaining for weeks about problems switching to the program, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel is demanding a fix.
Things are so bad that the CTA was forced to scrap parts of the Ventra system and restore previous fare options to satisfy angry riders.
Alderman Anthony Beale said he will introduce a resolution on Wednesday, calling for hearings on the mess. Riders said they are tired of talk and want action.
"It's not like we can take another CTA," Megan Groves told FOX 32 News. "It doesn't put the focus on the public and we don't have a choice in the matter."
The one bright spot in all the protests is the fact the new CTA budget calls for no fare increases and no cuts in service.

Howie Hart wrote:Thanks for post this Jenise. Looks like a great idea to serve with an Easter brunch, especially since I hate pineapple on ham.
Karen/NoCA wrote:Jenise,
I plan to make your pineapple muffins on Saturday, for Sunday brunch. I could not find crushed pineapple in syrup, but I did find it "in juice". Funny thing, they now have pineapple in syrup made with Splenda.
Do you suggest I add more sugar to the recipe?
According to the Dole Website one serving (4 0z.) of pineapple in juice contains 13 grams of sugar, while one serving of pineapple in heavy syrup has 22 grams. So a 20 oz with heavy syrup would contain 45 grams of added sugar. According to my Domino sugar bag, 1 teaspoon contains 4 grams, so Karen might want to add about 4 Tablespoons or 1/4 cup of sugar.Jenise wrote:...Call me cynical, but I can't help but wondering if 'juice' isn't a new, healthier sounding name for the same thing? ...

We don't mind redundant, Howie. Think of it as corroboration. We want to see the photos!
Howie Hart wrote:I made a double batch of these today for tomorrow's brunch. However, I forgot that I gave one of my muffin tins to my Mother-in-Law, so I made 12 muffins and, not wanting to leave the batter sitting around, poured the rest of it into a tube pan and baked it for about 35 minutes. The other snag I ran into was the only oil I have around is EVOO. I didn't feel like going to store, so I substituted melted, unsalted butter, which I poured on top of the pineapple before mixing. I ate one of the muffins earlier and am very satisfied with them. Thanks Jenise for posting. I would post a picture, but it would be redundant, as they look just like yours.

I made these a fourth time to take on a weekend gathering. Today, I added 1/2 tsp. Vietnamese Cassia Cinnamon and a bit of almond extract. I sprinkled sugar over the top of the muffins for added sweetness and some sparkle. Amazing!

Treating Eye Bags
By Barbara Hey
One unwanted morning surprise: under-eye puffiness. Though usually a temporary aftereffect of a late night, allergies, hormones, weather, or fluid retention due to excess sodium or alcohol in your diet—puffy eyes are not something you want to show to the world. (Sunglasses can only buy you time).
But natural remedies abound—things to drink or healing poultices to apply to baggy, tired eyes before heading out the door. And many of these healers can be readily found in the kitchen pantry.
Though some swear by hemorrhoid cream for relief (it may work, but to others the idea is esthetically unappealing), raiding the tea cabinet is a more appetizing route.
"Under-eye bags are not created equal," says Mary Elizabeth Wakefield, an acupuncturist who specializes in facial renewal and founder of Chi-Akra Center in New York City. Some people are more prone to puffiness than others; blame that on genetics. In Chinese medicine all cosmetic issues relate to internal dysfunction. Under-eye bags relate to digestive issues, dark circles alone suggest blood stagnation, and both puffiness and dark circles mean adrenal exhaustion (stress overload).
As for products, topical eye treatments include substances to combat puffiness. One puff-fighter is daisy extract, used in MyChelle's "Bright Eyes," which also works to lessen dark circles. In Laveré Ultimate Eye Cream, a combination of ingredients—wild rose, gingko, and ginseng—restores smooth skin, along with caffeine, a component of many a favorite morning beverage.
Wakefield suggests first addressing systemic issues (if chronic, consult a healthcare practitioner). Then look at habits contributing to under-eye bags. Sleep with your head slightly elevated, as prevention. And don't rub dry, itchy eyes; avoid eye strain from TV watching and hours in front of the computer screen; watch your diet; and get enough sleep.
Then, go topical. Lavender floral water, geranium essence, even cold milk (or cool water compresses) can help alleviate swelling. Herbal remedies can do double duty: Drink bilberry tea and apply cool tea bags to eyes to improve vision clarity (sometimes compromised when eyes get irritated). Green tea also works well, as does a tea made of nettles (good for eye issues related to hormones). Chrysanthemum tea alleviates allergy-related puffiness. (If loose tea, Wakefield suggests covering eyes with a facial tissue and covering the affected area with cool tea leaves.)
Wakefield offers a recipe for a homemade cure. *<# Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 4 tablespoons calendula flower, 2 tablespoons lavender. Steep and let cool. Soak cotton balls in the tea, and apply to under-eyes (while reclining). Save the rest of the brew for the next puffy morning. /p><#

Do-Nothing-Dave, our part-time mayor, has snuck-out of town again, relaxing in an undisclosed location. Maybe that's a good thing after a week that began with Hizzoner whining that the emergency manager isn't listening to him.
He sounded as shrill as Reese Witherspoon at a traffic stop. Filling in this week as acting mayor is Bing's mouthpiece, Bob Warfield, normally his communications director.
Warfield is an old television news producer. How that's a qualification to be acting mayor is beyond me. Remember, I work in TV News. It's not a pretty thing.
Then again, why not? Warfield as the acting mayor acting like the mayor who is actually just a man acting like he's the mayor since his mayoral powers have been stripped by the emergency manager is not that much of a stretch.
And in that spirit, let me offer a short list of things acting Mayor Warfield can accomplish in his few remaining days in office. Things that could cement his legacy as one of Detroit's greats:
· Announce the hiring of Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig. I am told Chief Craig's hiring as Detroit's top cop is imminent and will be announced in a few days. Warfield can hire him now and take the credit.
· Mayor Warfield can get rid of some of his two-dozen mayoral security cops and reinvest the money into buying bullet-proof vests for cops who actually work the streets. The city has stopped purchasing them because of non-payment problems with vendors, I'm told. Treating cops like they matter is a good thing for a mayor to do.
· Announce cost-cutting measures. For instance, the mayoral staff will now be required to use BOTH sides of the Charmin.
· Make Bing's long-time pal Emmett Moten pay up on the city backed loans for his downtown hotel. If Moten won't pay up, foreclose on the hotel and turn it into a community theater where Mayor Bing and the City Council can pretend they're actually doing something.
· Lease out the rest of the city to Dan Gilbert. Everything except Belle Isle. Give that back to the Algonquin Indians who can develop a casino to compete with Gilbert's. Tell the people capitalism and competition is good!
· Fire the custodians at City Hall and hire the FBI to mop things up.
· Throw a party at the Manoogian Mansion. Invite strippers but be sure to ban wives. And for goodness sake, be proud of it!
We wish you luck Mr. Acting Mayor……Carpe Diem!
