Tips and Tricks: Out of the Box Storage
Reader T. Baker shared an "out of the box" storage solution for in-progress projects - pizza boxes! They're large, lightweight, easy to find new (and cheese-free) online, and much cheaper than conventional plastic storage bins. You can find them in plain white or dress up the brown version with some decoupage. The only cuter way to store WIPs just might be a pink bakery box.
For more storage ideas, check out {this post} from Oda May.

They're great for layer cakes and semi-completed blocks. I find with charm squares I have to paper clip my like-blocks together or they just jiggle around in the box too much.

You don't have to go on line to get pizza boxes.....just ask your pizza shop for some unused ones. Our pizza shop gave me some.

my local pizza joints are happy to give me 3 or 4 at a time. they are so handy for so many things. completed blocks,pattern and fabric for a project, and a completed table runner or baby quilt will fit in one. and they stack so nicely on one corner of a project/cutting table

If you line the pizza box with scrap batting, the small pieces won't slide around.

Bugs can live in the baffles of corrugated cardboard. That's why it it's not allowed to be used for storage in hospitals. You can google "pest in cardboard" to read more.

AAPG GAC Action Alerts
Join the Action Alert team!
Sign up today to participate through the Action Alert program.
Current Action Alert
Provide Information and Comments to BOEM on 2017-2022 OCS Leasing Plan
The current Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) leasing plan expires in August 2017. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is developing a new plan, and requests information and comments from stakeholders. This is the first step in the plan development.
BOEM explains that it "…is seeking a wide array of information including, but not limited to, information associated with the economic, social, and environmental values of all OCS resources, as well as the potential impact of oil and gas exploration and development on other resource values of the OCS and the marine, coastal and human environments."
Deadline July 31, 2014.
Comment on Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Proposal to Regulate Disclosure of Chemicals Used in Hydraulic Fracturing
With a May 19 Federal Register announcement, EPA is requesting input on how to obtain and publish information on the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing and other wellbore treatments.
Most elements of EPA's plan are undefined and therefore open to stakeholder recommendation.
Deadline August 18, 2014.
Department of Energy Requests Input on Subsurface Research Needs for Energy Technologies
DOE recently announced a new crosscutting initiative, the Subsurface Technology and Engineering RD&D (SubTER) Tech Team. For the first time all DOE offices with interest in the subsurface are involved: Fossil Energy, Geothermal, Nuclear Energy, Energy Information Administration, Environmental Management, Office of Science and, ARPA-E.
This RFI provides an opportunity for broad stakeholder input to aid SubTER in refining its priority initiatives.
Deadline May 26, 2015.
Occasionally, the AAPG DPA Governmental Affairs Committee (GAC) will be sending email AAPG GAC Action Alerts. An action alert will inform you about a current Executive Branch and/or Congressional issue that will potentially affect the oil and gas industry.
The Director of the AAPG Office of Geoscience and Energy in Washington, DC, will identify the necessity for alerts, and he will work with the Chairperson of the GAC to issue the alert. The alert will be a short e-mail that will highlight the issue and direct you to this Web site. Each alert will consist of background, a suggested response, support information, and the place to submit your comments.
You are welcome to comment on the issues in the way that suits you, if you want to comment at all. Of course, you are under no obligation to do anything, but the GAC encourages you to provide your comments whenever you can. This will support the GEO-DC's liaison work in Washington, DC and through this effort AAPG's reputation as a credible provider of pertinent geologically-based information will grow and become more valuable to those who are shaping our Nation's polices and laws. Won't you please help?
The action alerts are now being issued directly from AAPG in Tulsa. Send an email to Norma Briggs.
Thank you,

Dreams. Sometimes they're simple, sometimes complex. Sometimes they come true if you work hard enough, at least that's what motivational books, speakers and television programs will tell you.
Why doesn't everyone who drives like me drive the same kind of car I do?
There was an injustice, a wrong that needed righting, and someone had to say something. That someone was you – and though you're just one person, just a voice, the movement had to start somewhere. And so you took a stand.
At our house, there is a love-hate relationship with email. We hate all the spam and other types of junk that come in. In an entirely different category are the usually fun, funny, and/or interesting messages that friends from around the globe pass along. With only a few exceptions, usually I do not forward those to other people. However, one came in that was good enough that I felt I had to put it in my diary. And here it is.
I did it, friends, aided in no small part by your continued thoughts and prayers, and a friend's help. I camped in a tent at Pike's Peak State Park, near McGregor, Iowa, the night of Monday, Sept. 8.
I attended an Albert Lea Audubon Society program recently. The presenter was Darcy Sime of Alden who did a wonderful program on photography. Darcy has had photos in all three "Capture Minnesota" books.
It's like icing a cake with your hand, they say, and you practiced that wave aplenty when you were young. You never knew when you might find yourself walking down a long stage with roses in your arms and a crown on your head.
Fall is definitely in the air this week and someone reminded me the important thing about that is it reminds us "you know what" will be here soon. It seems a good time to plan ahead for a productive winter, not waiting until we are wondering what to do next.
August was a busy month for me and part of that was due to the fact I had the good fortune to take two different trips. The first weekend of the month, my family celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary in Dubuque, Iowa, and during the last week of August, I was invited to join my brother and his family on their summer vacation in southwestern South Dakota.
It was two years ago – Sept. 5, 2012 – when my world turned topsy-turvy. A face-first and front-side-down fall of 26 feet into rocks and four inches of water – plus a stroke after surgery was performed in the hospital – started me on a journey I really wouldn't wish on anyone.
Each time I go for a walk, I see something I've never seen before. A backyard is an exotic realm.
The time has come for garden ripe tomatoes. I love the colorful cherry types you can pop into your mouth or the sliced ones served plain or embellished with a bit of basil.
A trip to the corner store started it all. You said, "Go for a ride?" and he nearly exploded. That's his favorite thing, which makes it your favorite thing and right then, you weren't sure which moved faster – your vehicle or his tail.

JavaFX is coming to Eclipse
JavaFX Tooling: e(fx)clipse 0.0.5
A new version of the JavaFX tooling for Eclipse is now
available. The new release - e(fx)clipse 0.0.5 - is being developed
by Tom Schindl and provides an editor based on Eclipse 4.x, and
Xtext which offers CSS and JavaFX support.
In the new version CSS compatibility and the JavaFX Packager Support have now been included meaning, for example, the new CSS-compliant gradients syntax can be used. Bugs found in the previous version 0.0.4 have been fixed.
e(fx)clipse is described in detail in the developer blog. Main developer Tom Schindl gives an overview on the project in the JAXenter-Interview: Eclipse Tooling for JavaFX Project.
e(fx)clipse's main target is to provide tooling to author JavaFX 2.0 applications using the Eclipse IDE, so that developers currently using Eclipse as their primary IDE do not have to switch to e.g. NetBeans to get tooling support when they want to develop applications using this new UI-Toolkit.
I don't want e(fx)clipse to stop on the tooling front but also provide a runtime framework which supports developers writing medium to big modular JavaFX applications.
The idea is to leverage the runtime platform used by Eclipse 4.1 named "Eclipse 4 Application Platform" to provide such a runtime layer. I've already shown in proof of concept implementations that the runtime platform used by Eclipse 4.1 can be used by none SWT-UI applications, so technically it is possible.

Rusk Jele Gloss Body and Shine Lotion 13.5 oz.
Based on 2 Reviews
Stacey C.New York, NYHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated Hair#1 Gel For Curly Hair!Let me start out by saying I'm a product junkie. I've tried (and continue to try) almost every product out there, from cheap to most expensive, and as far as an everyday gel/lotion goes for curly hair, this is by far the best product out there. I have a lot of hair that is practically a barometer (seriously, though, you can tell the humidity level by looking at tightness of the curl in my hair!) and this product separated, defines, and holds my hair all day long. I put it in roots to ends while my hair is wet, comb it through, part my hair as I would like, and then add some more in as a style/define/twirl my hair around my fingers. I can go all day and my hair keeps its shape-if it starts to lose it at all or it's a very humid day and i notice a little frizz, all I need to do is add some water and voila, all smooth again! Sometimes, when I'm feeling creative/perfectionist-like, I use a smoothing hairspray and some shine spray over it, but nothing is needed in addition to this gele gloss for every day wear. People with curly hair stop me all the time asking what products I use and are shocked when I tell them its Rusk Gele Gloss for only $13!
Needless to say, if you are looking for a great, easy product to define, smooth and hold your wavy to curly hair that is well priced (dare I say super cheap?!) and easy to use, this is for you! You can also use it in your wet hair before straightening; it really gives it some light volume and texture.3 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

LauraBrooklyn, NYHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Product!This is called a "lotion" but it is actually a gel...great for all around use. My hair is very curly and this is perfect for it because it's not heavy and takes the place of a frizz serum. It also makes my hair smooth and shiny for when I straighten. On the bottle it says to use for added shine after styling, but I don't recommend that for hair types like mine (it made my hair feel dry).2 out of 3 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) -- The man accused of shaking a two-year-old boy and throwing him to the ground might have his reckless homicide trial delayed again.
The attorney for 27-year-old Reymundo Perez has asked for more time to prepare his defense. Perez is accused of causing the death of his girlfriend's two-year-old boy while babysitting at his home. Perez is charged with two felonies, including first-degree reckless homicide. Perez had told police that he threw the child to the ground because he wouldn't stop crying. The boy died two days later at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield.
Attorney Gary Schmaus is waiting for an independant review of the boy's medical records. The expert appointed to the case has not been able to look over the records yet, and Schmaus wants more time for the review.
Both sides will meet in court December 20th to discuss the request. Perez is currently scheduled for a February 26th trial date.

Mining tax take stuck at zero | The Australian
RESOURCE giants will escape Labor's mining tax for the second quarter in a row in another risk to the federal budget, just as Julia Gillard vows to fund major new commitments before the election.
A recent surge in iron ore prices has not been enough to lift profits beyond the levels needed to trigger the mining tax, despite the government's forecast of $2 billion in revenue from the controversial impost this year alone. The Australian can reveal that none of the big three miners BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Xstrata will make payments when they are due next week, while Fortescue Metals Group confirmed it would not do so either.

text: Life really blows you know that? Like really blows. And what do we do to stop that? Nothing because all we end up doing is telling ourselves that we just will get them next time, or that tomorrows a brand new day for us to make our own and shit. But in all reality for those select few who actually believe that they were able to turn their lives around with their positive thinking are just full of shit. No. Positivity will not get you through tomorrow because no matter how much you spice up your life it will still taste like week old chicken soup. Bland and tasteless as ever. Now you all are thinking Woah this guy is just sad and can't back himself up worth shit, and to that I say. Fine believe that. But I can tell you from personal experience that it isn't about how much you study or how much work you put in because in the end it's about what people think of you….or how well you play football but you know what that just adds to the gloriousness of.modern society. So to you select few who get the cake in life, enjoy it because there are millions of us out there just wanting a slice and I'm done begging for it. I'm done trying my hardest and getting nothing in return. I'm done putting my heart on the line for people to just throw it back in to get some bigger fish. And most of all, I'm done really truly trying to understand what the fuck some people think of me because they already know. That won't change, and even if it does I will be that guy who used to be that way. So go forth young Earth children. Go forth and make what you can for yourself because in the end you will just end up back here. Reading an angry blog about the way of life. Life sucks and then you die. The end

Hang tight!
Recipe by Suzanne Stull
"At your next Chinese dinner, surprise them with homemade fortune cookies! You'll need to have a bunch of fortunes written out on paper for stuffing in the cookies!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 tablespoon
1/4 teaspoon
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
egg white
1 tablespoon
I've seen it done. I know it can be done. And now I'm sure this is not the recipe to do it with. I even made 2 batches thinking I was the problem. I adjusted the heat, the cooking time, and even thinned out the batter. Unless you're looking for an exercise in frustration, don't bother even trying this one.
This recipe worked well when I made it on my griddle. It works better when the pan isn't greased (I used butter). It has to be spread very thin and be quite brown before removal, or else it remains soft and floppy, more like a crepe. Also, I beat the egg whites, but I would recommend leaving them unbeaten, so that they will not puff up so when cooked. Thanks for this!

Choc-Mallow Wheels and Too Many Shopping Bags
Delicious links for 02.20.09
Here's a weird "green" dilemma for you: have you accumulated too many canvas grocery totes?
• Choc-Mallow Wheels at Womans Weekly Australia.
• Spicy heirloom-bean chili at Domino.
• Spudski Potato Masher - With handles like ski poles.
• Weird Green Dilemma: Too Many Reusable Bags ... - Do you have too many grocery bags? At Re-Nest.
7 Comments
Yes. But I've also found that my reusable bags (Whole Foods, Stop&Shop, etc.) are lasting about 1 year before they start to fall apart so it'll be time to get new ones anyways.
I keep forgetting them at home, so I have keep buying new ones because I don't want the plastic bags... Hopefully, I will end up learning to bring the bags from home.
Ha! I was wondering when people were going to start realising that if you buy all of those canvas grocery bags and don't use them, they're a waste, too! But before you think I"m all high and mighty, I have one or two too many, as well.
I have a few too many, though I haven't bought any. They're like T-Shirts; they've just accumulated in my house.
Yes, I have too many to count. I am good about using them at the farmers market and at my weekly grocery trips to Trader Joes and Raleys but dont' think of bringing them into Target, the drugstore, etc..
I have a couple in my backpack which is with me almost all the time. I have a couple at home which are used for taking things to the building's laundry room (One bag = one load, which is kind of awesome). So there isn't really a surplus.
If I had extras, I'd just give them to my friends and coworkers. I guess you'd run into problems if all your friends and coworkers are greenies. Time to expand the friend pool!
I'd actually like to see a study on a company that sells reusable bags at the register looking at the amount of plastic grocery bag usage before and after they started selling reusable bags. Target would be a good example.
Ah, found one article that says that plastic bag usage was down 40% in Austin late last year - this from companies including Target and Walmart.
So even if people are buying too many bags, things are still getting better.

Rachel Friedman
Adult Nonfiction G226.F75 A3 2011
Rachel Friedman
Adult Nonfiction G226.F75 A3 2011
|Author's Note
|p. xvii
|Part 1 - Ireland
|1 - Our heroine, verily drown in self-pity at the tender age of twenty, embarks on a grand adventure that is not yet either grand or an adventure but, rather, a hastily concocted plan to escape the confines of her current existence and the quotidian yet oppressive pressures contained therein
|p. 3
|2 - Our heroine discovers a strange tribe of people with no steady residence or employment, among them one of her neighbors to the north, a riddling Italian, three fearsome giants, and a confounding native who speaks a strange repetitious tongue. She bravely orders a meal to be eaten all alone while pondering the age-old question: Is one really the loneliest number?
|p. 11
|3 - Our heroine undertakes a journey of insignificant length and significant comfort to the west of Ireland. She relateth her impressions of Galway, a very fine city, and explores the traveler's constant companions-transience and loneliness. She battles a mighty winged one and determines to find gainful employment and permanent residence
|p. 22
|4 - Our heroine takes up residence with three strangers of various and unaccountable natures, one of whom is an entirely-different kind of girl species indeed
|p. 34
|5 - Our heroine considers some advice from her unnervingly wild new friend. She finds steady employment and an even steadier drinking habit, though it is not her intention to imply that the fine country of Ireland is in any way responsible for such youthful debauchery, other than to note that it does have a very high number of excellent bars in conjunction with an over abundance of rainy days. Our heroine might choose church, another fine, dry place in which to ponder life's questions, but alas, she is Jewish
|p. 50
|6 - Our heroine returns to her former life as a student, where she normally would be comforted by books and the lofty ideas contained therein, but finds herself unable to muster the necessary enthusiasm for anything but list making and bellyaching. Somehow she finds the will to both graduate and entertain her relatives. An unexpected call answered
|p. 63
|Part 2 - Australia
|7 - Ourheroine alights on Australia, a faraway land she has only read about, and not much at that, and is ferried to the exotic suburbs of Sydney by her native friend and guide. Though she is much jet-lagged and rather perplexed by her host's progenitor-a skilled caller of birds-she nevertheless finds herself quickly and comfortably ensconced in her welcoming new abode
|p. 75
|8 - Our heroine embarks on a brief journey to the Outback, wherein she meets a rock of indecent proportions and heat of insulting voracity. Locates gainful employment of coffee and curry, philosophizes and questions-questions and philosophizes
|p. 87
|9 - Our heroine learns much about the so-called Down Under and the people who reside therein. She considers the nature of families and homes, dingoes and the British. Resolves to avoid encounters with magpies at all costs
|p. 109
|10 - Our heroine and her trusty guide consider life, adrift in waters neither deep nor treacherous, with many adult beverages to guide their meandering trains of thought. Our heroine questions happiness and the means by which one might obtain it
|p. 125
|11 - Our heroine, her trusty guide, and a goateed suitor depart the sunny suburbs of Sydney and journey south. The trio encounters malformed birds and cities, strange prostheses and mysterious landscapes. They welcome in the Year of Our Lord two thousand and four
|p. 135
|12 - Our heroine musters her rawest courage and lightest bottle of shampoo for a solo jaunt up the east coast of this fine country. The path is rife with backpackers, a camel-like species with belongings like humps on their weary backs. Relates to readers some history of Australia, though not much, for this book is not meant to boreth but rather to exciteth
|p. 145
|13 - Our heroine dives into the depths of the briny sea, then launches herself from great heights. Survives the crocodile's lair and a particularly strong current, is rewarded with some small insights
|p. 152
|14 - Our heroine reluctantly returns to the bosom of Saint Diego and to her family, who express concern over her future misadventures. A stranger insists she cannot go to Brazil, though her ticket sayeth otherwise; thus, she prepares to depart for the Paris of the South instead
|p. 168
|Part 3 - South America
|15 - Our heroine arrives in Buenos Aires, city of tango and turmoil and of much delicious food and drink. She takes up with a merry band of backpackers. Consciously determines to meet up with her trusty guide but unconsciously procrastinates
|p. 175
|16 - Our heroine is coughed up in Tilcara, a small locale with many fine crafts and hippies. The effects of altitude are gravely endured until she is cured by a native medicine known for its darker properties. Departs for Bolivia in the company of a love-struck Australian and a travel-struck Swiss
|p. 180
|17 - Our heroine boards a crowded and not entirely pleasant-smelling vehicle for Tupiza, alongside her two temporary companions. The threesome is soon joined by two more, and the five begin an excursion both cursed and blessed by fickle Mother Nature, who maketh thunder and hail, pink flamingos and salt flats
|p. 200
|18 - Our heroine and her trusty guide reunite. The two make haste to La Paz, where misfortunes beset the heroine, who must question herself and her fears and attempt to make some sense of the tricky pair
|p. 214
|19 - Our heroine and her trusty guide battle the great and mighty Death Road, which is much feared by peoples other than the native inhabitants of the equally great and mighty Bolivia. Descends into a drug-induced slumber and emerges with an epiphany|p225
|20 - Our heroine and her trusty guide brave the heart of darkness, or at least the very edges of it. Insects of massive proportions and thirst are encountered, along with many strange and curious creatures. The author learns the only thing to fear is fear itself. And snakes
|p. 236
|21 - Our heroine and her trusty guide reach Peru, where the islands float and the mud slides. A bearded stranger enters their midst, followed by a dreaded illness. The adventurers depart for Chile
|p. 247
|22 - Our heroine and her trusty guide reach Chile, where they consider their impending separation and a good many churches. Our heroine searches the heavens for answers
|p. 266
|23 - The two friends take their leave of each other
|p. 270
|24 - Our heroine returns home, where many unanswered questions await her

I want to get married. That is, I want to get married after I've finagled an introduction to J. Money of the Budgets Are Sexy personal-finance blog. Once he and I are best buds, I want to get married a whole bunch of times, because J. Money's wedding gift of choice is a $100 bill.
"Nothing more, nothing less -- just a straight-up Mr. Benjamin for all our friends and family," he wrote in this post.
All right, I'm not actually looking to get married. (Unless it were for something really romantic, like health insurance.) But I have to say I'm tempted by J. Money's largesse, which is, well, large.
Transferred military couple didn't sell Vegas home at the height of the bubble. Now they're struggling to rent it out from afar.
This post from Jolyn is part of the reader stories feature at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
My husband and I bought our first home when he was stationed in Las Vegas with the Air Force. This was right after 9/11, when the economy was stagnant and the real estate market uncertain.
In the spirit of our new hometown, we took the gamble and plunged into homeownership, banking on the economy recovering before it was time for us to move again in a few years.
Fast-forward to 2004: The market was on fire. Houses were selling mere hours after being listed. Our house had appreciated by $120,000. It was also time for us to move again -- and time for us to take the money and run, right? Wrong.
Do you feel guilty about using those return-address labels from charities, or for neglecting to write thank-you cards?
This guest post comes from J. Money at Budgets are Sexy.
Almost a year ago I started a post about money-related things I've done that I feel bad about, but for whatever reason I couldn't finish it. Maybe it had to do with thinking they're small and aren't all that exciting, mixed with feeling guilty about them -- and probably more so of the latter. (Who likes admitting to thousands of people that they aren't perfect?)
Lately though, I figured it was about time to bare my soul. And something tells me I'm not the only one who's done these things.
Five things I feel bad about doing:
- Using those "free" St. Jude's stickers. You know, the ones with your address preprinted on them so you never have to write another return address again because you have 500-plus of them. That will last you 150 years. Unless you move.
Pepsi wants to tap into Americans' desire for healthier soft drinks. Plus: Coupons and kids eat free at Quiznos.
Poor beleaguered soda. Though Americans still drink too many sweetened soft drinks, they are starting to ask questions about whether they should. Cities and states have tried to tax soda, and New York City even wants to ban its purchase with food stamps.
Seeking to capture the "healthy soda" market, or at least tap into consumers' desires for healthier beverages, PepsiCo has turned the old Sierra Mist into the new Sierra Mist Natural.
As part of a major marketing campaign, Pepsi is giving away 10 million cans on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 2,800 Wal-Mart Supercenters nationwide. The giveaway is not on the Wal-Mart sampling calendar, but we believe it is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All that stuff you never use can benefit others. You get a tax write-off and more room in your life.
Following my divorce I received dozens of paintings, prints and posters as part of my share of the community property. Some I've been able to sell. Some of it I probably never will.
I've decided to give away some of it, starting with one framed photo of Mount McKinley and three examples of the Alaska art genre known as "moose and goose in the spruce."
So who'd want it?
Elite status comes with perks worth the extra trip. But how do you get it without overpaying?
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Seth Miller has neither family nor business in Spokane, Wash., but that didn't stop the New Yorker from making three cross-country trips to the Eastern Washington city this year. Miller went solely for the miles, to secure his 2011 status as a platinum-level elite flier on Continental Airlines. "I didn't know what I was going to do there," he says. "I booked the (sale) fare and figured it out after."
Late-fall "mileage runs" are common among frequent fliers who are just a few miles shy of the 25,000 they need for "elite" status, which includes perks like seat upgrades and waived baggage fees. For the more casual traveler, such unnecessary trips might seem like flights of fancy. But with fares and fees on the rise, elite status is starting to confer tangible benefits. "Getting elite status used to be all about seat upgrades," says Randy Petersen, the founder of InsideFlyer, which tracks frequent-flier programs. "Today it's about saving money."
One man's tale of how 'requirements creep' crept into his kitchen remodeling plans and spread to the bathroom.
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
As I've previously mentioned, the Penzo household is in the middle of a long-awaited home renovation project.
Originally, it was supposed to be a fairly modest kitchen renovation that involved replacing our porcelain tile countertops with granite and adding a new tumbled stone backsplash. It also included some new appliances.
Then, one quiet evening not too long ago, while we were watching the 6,000th episode of "House Hunters," the Honeybee decided to see if she could push the budget boundaries just a tad.
American Tax Relief's ads on TV, radio and the Internet said it could settle customers' tax debt for a fraction of what they owed.
This post comes from James Limbach at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
A federal judge has halted a national operation accused of bilking consumers out of more than $60 million by falsely claiming it can reduce tax debts.
The California state business license of American Tax Relief was suspended last year for nonpayment of its own taxes, according to the Federal Trade Commission, which is seeking to make the defendants pay restitution to victims.
"We've made it a top priority to go after scammers who try to exploit the financial hardship of others," said David C. Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection.

The Renée Schine Crown Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a secured level III care unit (level III is the highest possible designation) that provides state-of-the-art care for premature and seriously ill newborns. Our services and equipment are designed for the smallest patients.
The NICU is staffed 24 hours a day by specially-trained nurses and neonatologists, and patients have access to the full range of pediatric subspecialists. We provide care for an estimated 1600 premature or seriously ill newborns each year, including infants born at Prentice Women's Hospital, as well as many who are transferred through the Perinatal Network from other hospitals.
We believe a multidisciplinary team and specialized equipment are only part of caring for these babies—we focus on family-centered, developmentally-supportive care. Parents and families are crucial to an infant's recovery and development, so we encourage and facilitate the strong presence and involvement of parents and family in the care we provide. To help families who have children in the NICU, we have a NICU Family Support Program.
To contact our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, call 312-926-7653.

There's a local jewelry store that advertises heavily on KEXP, the radio station I listen to. In their brief spot, they advertise that customers can design their own engagement ring using "CAD/CAM technology".
The ad irks me every time I hear it for a couple reasons:
- Few people know what CAD/CAM technology really is, even if they've heard the term.
- There's no mention of the customer benefit of designing your engagement ring using CAD/CAM technology.
It seems to me that the benefits are probably the ability to work with a designer in realtime to design your ring, to see immediately what it will look like, and probably to take home a picture of your custom ring.
I'll probably only get married two or three more times in my life, but when I do, I'll pick a jewelry store that advertises benefits, not features.
P.S. If I were a jewelry store with CAD/CAM technology, I'd create web pages for each custom ring design and let imminent or potential brides post them to Pinterest.

Lord of Arcana Review
Lord of Arcana is Square Enix's attempt at breaking into the multiplayer action-RPG genre dominated by Capcom's Monster Hunter franchise. The title was developed by Access Games, whose previous games are mostly dominated by flight combat simulators. Take what you will from that.The immediate concern with a game that takes its inspiration from Monster Hunter and Phantasy Star is whether or not... Read More

The NHL lockout stretched into its 100th day on Monday and once again there are no meetings planned between the NHL and the players' association.
The last communication between the two sides was a phone conversation involving NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and players' association special counsel Steve Fehr that took place on Saturday, but did not yield any results towards resolving the stalemate.
The parties have not held an in-person meeting since December 12th and 13th, when talks that included federal mediators failed to bridge the gap between the two sides.
On Friday, the players voted 706-22 in favour of giving the NHLPA's executive board the option of filing a disclaimer of interest and dissolving their union, which would allow players to file a class-action anti-trust lawsuit against the league.
The entire NHL schedule through January 14th has already been cancelled, in total adding up to 625 games lost. Specialty games, including The Winter Classic and the All-Star game, have also both been shelved.

Houston Girl Scout Center receives Energy Star certification
GSSJC the only Council in US to receive recognition
HOUSTON – The Way Companies and the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) celebrated their successful partnership with a $27,000 rebate check, an Energy Star certification and plaque presentation, and a green energy lesson for a troop of Girl Scout Cadettes (6th graders). GSSJC partnered with Way amid concerns about high utility bills, inefficient lighting systems and antiquated mechanical equipment. Way provided GSSJC with a program that allows the council to pay for the infrastructure upgrades through guaranteed energy savings.
"The energy efficiency upgrade that Way Companies facilitated has generated a substantial operational savings for our Council," said Jon Maxwell, administrative services director for the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council. "As part of Way Companies' ongoing partnership with us, it will facilitate activities directed at teaching our members how to use resources wisely, including an energy audit on our Houston Girl Scout Center that will highlight the upgrades that were completed on the facility and the impact it will have on our environment."
GSSJC is proud to announce it is now Energy Star certified, exemplifying the importance of energy efficiency and environmental impact, setting an example for the 100 other councils around the country. According to the Energy Star certification database, GSSJC is the only Girl Scout Council to have received this recognition.
Larry Jones, General Manager for the Way Companies, explained, "We are thrilled to partner with such an influential and honorable non-profit that doesn't just 'talk- the-talk.' We thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to give back and educate a troop of 6th graders about the importance of energy efficiency."
An annual savings of $174,000 are projected.

Fit perfectly, warm and comfortable. Quite happy with a great deal.
Bought the XL, it is more like a boys medium. Useless to me, but fit the wife. Careful, the size is way off on this product
These are great for being around the house.
jogger much too small. gave it to my wife.
The smell was bad, mothballs? Washed twice, seem the right size, this weekend will test them both.

My son is 10 and I think his voice is already starting to change. I'm worried — and he's self-conscious — because none of the other boys his age are experiencing this. Is he hitting puberty too soon?
- Jillian
When boys and girls begin puberty, the larynx (voice box) grows larger and thicker. It happens in both boys and girls, but the change is more evident in boys. Girls' voices only deepen by a couple of tones and the change is barely noticeable. Boys' voices, however, start to get significantly deeper.
When a boy reaches puberty, the production of testosterone increases (just as estrogen production increases in girls). Testosterone, which is produced in the testicles and then travels through the blood throughout the body, causes the cartilage of his larynx to grow. Along with the larynx, the vocal cords grow significantly longer and become thicker. In addition, the facial bones begin to grow. Cavities in the sinuses, the nose, and the back of the throat grow bigger, creating more space in the face and giving the voice more room to resonate.
Each child develops at a different pace, so a boy's voice might change anywhere between ages 11 and 14½, usually just after the major growth spurt. Some boys' voices change gradually, whereas others' change quickly.
If your son is concerned, stressed, or embarrassed about the sound of his voice, let him know that it's only temporary and that everyone goes through it to some extent. After a few months, he'll likely have the resonant, deep, and full voice of an adult!
