We play songs you
won't hear on the AM/FM radio
Dear friends, The past weeks have been a tough time for everyone involved with the station. It's been a roller coaster of emotions with Gramps passing and it still feels surreal that we won't ever hear him talk or sing again or have chats with him. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your thoughtful messages to us and the condolences to Gramps family. You are the best and most loyal listeners any station could wish to have.
Due to uncertainties concerning possible legal and tax implications we were forced to announce the end of operations as of July 13th. We have received so many nice and warm messages from you which made us feel bad because we had the feeling we would let you down. Trust us when we say that we've been pondering day and night to come up with a solution in compliance with the rules and law. A little luck was on our side and we have received some of the information we needed for Always Country to be able to continue at the last minute. This is a short term solution to currently stay on air, and will continue to search for a long term solution. So basically nothing will change and we will serve you with the same great Country Music you and we all love so much. Always Country won't have to shut down until further notice!
Our goal is to keep the station alive as long as you want to listen to our music and as long as we have enough money to cover the cost. You have ensured a few months for us on the air, to be precise until February 2015 as of today, so thank you again for your continued support. Although we're very grateful for that, we wish more of you listeners would contribute to the life of Always Country and follow the example of these listeners. Unfortunately we will need your financial help more than ever now that we don't have the backing of Gramps anymore. We ask you to keep an eye on our homepage to see our predicted closing day based on the monetary status. Please help us to keep Always Country alive and your number one choice for internet radio.
You give us a gift each day by listening and we hope that we've been able to return the gift with our music. Thank you all, for without you we have no reason to fight on.
Your Always Country Family
July 10, 2014
Dear friends, It is with deep regret that we are posting this message. Effective noon (EST) July 13, 2014 Always Country will discontinue broadcasting. This has not been an easy decision for any of us. With the passing of our founder and beloved friend Gramps and the uncertainty of our legal obligations, we are sad to say that the only logical course of action is to close the station. There are too many unanswered questions and we aren't able to win the very last challenge Gramps has left us with. We know that we have done everything possible and leave with a peaceful feeling. We will continue to keep the Facebook page and website available for at least 2 years. In addition, our Always Country email addresses will continue to function and we would love to staying in touch with you, our listeners and friends.
We're going to quote our lost voice Gramps when we are saying, that we are sure that everyone associated with Always Country, both past and present, would say that this has been a rewarding though sometimes difficult experience. We have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people from around the world and we thank each and every one of you for that. If we at times could bring a smile to your face or brighten your day with a song, it was worth our efforts.
We wish to thank everyone who has helped us financially over the years. You have been very generous and kept us on air. In fact there is money left in our PayPal account and we would like to donate this money in the name of David L. Kurtz aka Gramps to something he felt strongly about such as the Wounded Warriors foundation.
Your Always Country Family
June 28, 2014
We are deeply saddened to inform you that the founder and owner of Always Country, David L. Kurtz, known as Gramps, passed away on Friday, 13th 2014.
We have lost a dear friend and valued guide. Gramps was the most wonderful, generous and caring person. He wasn't always easy and would drive people crazy but this was his way to challenge someone. He devoted many years of his life for his hobby Always Country and loved to share his favorite music with our listeners. We've been through many good and also some bad times but Gramps never gave up and did everything possible to keep the station running. We will all miss a great human being. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.
Your Always Country Family
June 13, 2014

11-Year-Old Dies from Asthma Attack
momlogic's Vivian: This unbelievable tragedy had me in tears ... not just because it occurred in my neighborhood, but because it might have been prevented.
Eleven-year-old Briana Ojeda was playing in a Brooklyn park last Friday when she suffered a severe asthma attack. Her mom, Carmen, called 911, but decided to rush her daughter to the hospital herself, as it was less than a mile away. To avoid traffic, Carmen Ojeda turned the wrong way down a one-way street and -- after sideswiping a parked car -- found herself boxed in by a police officer. He detained her, and sadly, she didn't make it to the hospital in time.
According to NY1, Ojeda pleaded with the officer for help. "He smirked at me when I asked him for help," Ojeda said. "It wasn't like, 'Oh, I'm sorry I can't help you'; it was like, 'I don't know CPR' -- like a jerk, like a jerk. He shouldn't have a badge and a gun, because who's he going to protect? He's supposed to protect me and help me, right? So why didn't he help me?"
Several witnesses say they heard the desperate mom's pleas for help, and one bystander attempted CPR before they finally got the girl to the emergency room. But it was too late -- the young girl died. The cop who allegedly refused to help was finally identified as NYPD Officer Alfonso Mendez. He has since been suspended without pay and faces departmental charges.
So SAD!! But what should you do to help if you witness someone having a severe asthma attack like this? Dr. Vania Kasper, a pediatrician from the State University of New York's Downstate Medical Center, says to call 911 PRONTO, then proceed on an urgent search for asthma meds. "For parents of kids who have asthma, it's super important to keep them on their controller medication and never miss a dose," says Kasper. "If the kid's a known asthmatic and something like this happens outside of the home, hopefully they have their medication with them. But if they don't have it, or it's not working for some reason, asthma is such a common disease that you can ask if anyone around you has albuterol (an asthma medication that clears blocked airways). In the meantime, try and keep the child calm, because anxiety can make an asthma attack worse. But ultimately, you really do need to get the child to the hospital immediately."
And hopefully, you'll avoid encountering officers such as Mendez along the way.

Press release
Fuel consumption is reduced by over 80% and the total energy consumption by over 60%. The results of the field tests being conducted in Gothenburg show that Volvo Buses' plug-in hybrid more than meets expectations.
"Our performance results are even slightly better than we had anticipated. The plug-in hybrid consumes less than 11 litres of fuel for every 100 kilometres. That's 81% less fuel than the equivalent diesel bus consumes," says Johan Hellsing, who is the Project Manager for the field test at Volvo Buses.
Moreover, the figures for the overall energy consumption, including both diesel and electricity, have exceeded the target. Here, the plug-in hybrid gives an energy saving of 61%, compared to a corresponding diesel bus Euro 5.
The field test in Gothenburg began in June 2013 and includes three plug-in hybrid buses, whose batteries are recharged at the terminals. This makes it possible for the buses to run on electric power for most of the route.
In addition to the significant energy savings and reduced impact on the environment, this technology gives passengers a more comfortable and pleasant journey and improves the working environment of the drivers.
"Although there are many long, steep gradients on the routes, the plug-in hybrid buses can run on electric power for about 85% percent of the time. The diesel engine only kicks in when the bus needs some extra power", Johan Hellsing comments. "The test drivers from GS Buss really appreciate the quiet, vibration-free ride that you get with an electric powered bus."
Hanna Björk, who works as an Environmental Strategist at Västtrafik says, "The results show that the plug-in hybrid can help us to achieve our ambitious environmental goals, particularly concerning the reduction of emissions and noise."
The field test of the plug-in hybrid buses in Gothenburg involves 10,000 operating hours and will continue for most of next year. A demo project that will bring eight more plug-in hybrid buses into service will commence next year in Stockholm.
A number of European cities are showing a keen interest in the plug-in hybrids. Hamburg and Luxembourg have already signed contracts for supplies of the buses in 2014 and 2015. Volvo Buses is working together with the city councils, public transport authorities and providers to develop long-term sustainable solutions for public transport. Volvo Buses plans to commence commercial manufacture of plug-in hybrids towards the end of 2015.
Those engaged in the plug-in hybrid project in Gothenburg are Volvo Buses, Göteborg Energi, Business Region Göteborg, Trafikkontoret and Västtrafik. The project is co-financed by Life+, the EU's financing programme for environmental projects.

During a state visit to Sweden US President Barack Obama met with the Volvo Group President and CEO Olof Persson and showed interest in the hybrid driveline developed by the Volvo Group.
On September 4, US President Barack Obama visited Sweden. One part of his program was a visit to the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm where new and innovative energy solutions were shown.
As one of three exhibitors the Volvo Group showed the US President the world's first electric plug-in hybrid parallel driveline for heavy bus application. The driveline from Volvo Buses is world-leading in fuel efficiency and reduces fuel consumption and emissions with up to 80% compared to a traditional diesel bus.
The President turned out to be very interested in new and energy efficient transport solutions and wondered how the Volvo Group viewed the possibilities to turn green solutions into business. The President also asked many questions about the technology used in the driveline and expressed an optimistic view on the development of batteries.
- We wanted to show the President how we will take bus transportation into the 21st century in a sustainable fashion. This technology has been developed by the Volvo Group and is already used in daily traffic in Gothenburg where we have created the most modern and innovative bus operation in the world, says Olof Persson, President and CEO of the Volvo Group.
- Our vision is to be the world leader in sustainable transport solutions and we are happy to share our know-how in order to contribute to a positive trend in society. By utilizing this technology in close cooperation with city planners and high tech companies as well as universities, we will create a truly sustainable public transport system, says Olof Persson.
The Volvo Group have production and research facilities in five US states and 12.500 employees in the US. - See more at: http://www.volvogroup.com/group/global/en-gb/newsmedia/corpnews/_layouts/cwp.internet.volvocom/newsitem.aspx?news.itemid=144400&news.language=en-gb?print=yes#sthash.RAtbeENu.dpuf
Gothenburg, Sweden (PRWEB) May 14, 2013
Göteborg Energi, the electricity provider for the City of Gothenburg, today shows for the first time its new Opbrid Busbaar charging station installed at Redbergsplatsen. The Opbrid Busbaar charging station will charge three new Volvo 7900 Plug-In Hybrid buses for 5-8 minutes at each end of the #60 bus line.
These new Volvo plug-in hybrid buses run completely silently and emissions-free for the majority of the route. Göteborg Energi will supply renewable electricity from its nearby wind turbines to power the buses, with the result being an exciting new form of sustainable transportation.
"Right now, the normal Volvo hybrid buses turn off their motor at a bus stop, then the diesel roars back to life after only a few seconds of driving. In contrast, the new Plug-in hybrid bus continues on silently on electricity for most of the route. It really is a dramatic difference," says Roger Bedell, CEO, Opbrid SL.
The HyperBus project is funded partly by the EU Life+ Innovation program, as well as with contributions from Business Region Göteborg, Göteborg Energi, City of Göteborg Traffic & Public Transport Authority, Volvo Buses and the public transport company Västtrafik.
"Our being able to drastically reduce exhaust fumes and noise is important for everyone who lives, works and plays here." says Birgitta Hellgren, Traffic Director, City of Gothenburg Traffic & Public Transport Authority.
The Volvo Plug-In Hybrid is based on the world leading Volvo 7900 Hybrid bus, but with the addition of a larger, energy optimized battery and ultra-fast charging capability. An Opbrid Bůsbaar charging station is located at each end of the bus route which fast charges the bus for a few minutes at the end of each trip. This extends the all-electric range of the Volvo hybrid bus to a predicted 60% or more of the route.
The plug-in hybrid buses will use renewable electricity as their primary power source and diesel for supplementary power. Plug-in technology allows the buses to be charged with grid electricity through connection to the Opbrid Bůsbaar ultra-fast charging station.
"We calculate that it only takes about 10 revolutions of one of our large wind turbines to power the bus from one end of the route to the other," says Fredrik Persson, HyperBus project leader for Göteborg Energi.
About Opbrid
The Opbrid Bůsbaar is a brand of Opbrid S.L., based in Granada, Spain that is focused on providing ultra fast bus charging stations in Europe and worldwide. We believe that the ultra fast charge plug-in concept will revolutionize the urban bus, changing it from a loud, polluting, CO2 emitting vehicle into clean, quiet, sustainable transportation. For more information on the Opbrid Bůsbaar and fast charged plug-in buses in general, visit http://www.opbrid.com or phone +34 626 855 662.
Göteborg Energi will install two ultra-fast Opbrid Bůsbaar charging stations in Gothenburg, Sweden which will charge 3 Volvo plug-in hybrid buses in the HyperBus project: http://www.hyperbus.se . The new plug-in hybrid from Volvo Buses is a further development of the Volvo 7900 Hybrid already available on the market. This new Volvo bus requires only a short recharging time of 5 to 8 minutes to enable it to run on battery power alone for most of its route. The Opbrid Bůsbaar installed at each end of the #60 bus route provides enough electricity to deliver 60% overall fuel savings, with zero emissions and silent operation in the city center.
Gothenburg, Sweden (PRWEB) July 03, 2012Today, Göteborg Energi, the electricity provider for the City of Gothenburg, awarded a contract to Opbrid SL (Granada, Spain) to provide two Opbrid Bůsbaar ultra-fast bus charging stations for the HyperBus demonstration project in Gothenburg City. This project will consist of three new Volvo plug-in hybrid buses running in traffic and charging for 5-8 minutes at each end of the #60 bus line.The HyperBus project is funded partly by the EU Life+ Innovation program, as well as with contributions from Business Region Göteborg, Göteborg Energi, City of Göteborg Traffic & Public Transport Authority, Volvo Buses and the public transport company Västtrafik.These new Volvo plug-in hybrid buses have great advantages. Energy consumption will be reduced by 60 percent and emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by a huge 75 percent compared to conventional diesel buses. And because the plug-in hybrid runs on battery power for the major part of its route, it is much quieter than any comparable public transportation system."Our being able to drastically reduce exhaust fumes and noise is important for everyone who lives, works and plays here." says Birgitta Hellgren, Traffic Director, City of Gothenburg Traffic & Public Transport Authority."We will buy the electricity for the buses from local wind farms as we want to establish a clear connection between renewable energy and electric vehicles right from the beginning," says Göran Dalman, pro tem CEO at Göteborg Energi."This plug-In hybrid is based on the existing Volvo 7900 hybrid bus design, but with the addition of a larger, energy optimized battery and the ability to connect to the Opbrid Bůsbaar ultra-fast charging station. It combines the no-emission benefits of an electric bus with the reliability of a diesel bus. The Opbrid Bůsbaar charging station is located at each end of the bus route and fast charges the bus for a few minutes at the end of each trip. This extends the all-electric range of the hybrid bus to a predicted 75% or more of the route. And, since this is a hybrid bus that can also run on diesel, the bus can continue in case of brown-outs, traffic jams, or even fill-in on a route without chargers.The Hyper Bus project began on September 1, 2011 and will run until 2014. It can be divided into four sub-areas: demonstration of plug-in technology for hybrid buses, rapid-charge stations, tests in real city environments on existing bus routes and the publication of results and experiences from the project.The plug-in hybrid buses will use electricity as their primary power source and diesel for supplementary power. Plug-in technology allows the buses to be charged with external power using the Opbrid Bůsbaar ultra-fast charging station.
Umeå, Sweden (PRWEB) November 26, 2011
Today, Hybricon AB and Umeå Municipality took the next step in the development of the Arctic Whisper super fast rechargeable hybrid electric buses. A bus has been placed in service running on Umeå's busiest line. The first public installation of the Opbrid Bůsbaar charging station was inaugurated with a ribbon cutting by Umea Municipality representatives. The Arctic Whisper is the first in a fleet of affordable, sustainable, low carbon urban buses for Umea City.
The development of Umeå's super fast rechargeable electric buses began December 13, 2010 when the municipality of Umea decided to invest in an early development stage project with Hybricon AB (Sweden), E-Traction NV (Holland) and Opbrid SL (Spain). This included the development of a charging station and two super-fast rechargeable electric hybrid buses. The first bus was delivered in only 6 weeks for initial winter testing. The charging system went live in mid-summer, and today, just 11 months after the project commenced, public operation has begun with line 1 from Umedalen to the center of town
Hybricon's Arctic Whisper system for electrically powered city bus service has attracted a great deal of attention in the bus world. In early October, the industry confirmed Umea Municipality's investment in electric city buses when Hybricon won the prestigious Elmia Future Transport Award for the project. Now, there are a range of stakeholders in line to get started with the electrification of their bus lines in many other cities around Sweden.
Hybricon achieved this incredibly rapid progress from concept to public service by mating the Opbrid Bůsbaar fast charging station to two existing e-Traction hybrid buses, and adding additional lithium batteries for fast charging. This relatively simple process converted these hybrid buses to 100% electrical operation with the reliability of the on-board hybrid diesel backup generator. If there are ever issues due to traffic, weather, or a blackout, the bus can always revert to hybrid mode and continue on diesel temporarily.
Hybricons' Arctic Whisper Advantages:
Electric power gives very low operating costs compared to diesel, 15 SEK vs 55 SEK for 10 km No fossil fuel burning No harmful emissions No CO2 since Swedish electricity is essentially carbon free No engine noise Small infrastructure; An easily installed, ultra fast, automatic battery charging station at the end of the route Diesel or biofuel backup generator for reliability in all conditions e-Traction wheel motors with only two moving parts Relatively small batteries for low weight and more room inside the bus
The Bůsbaar charging station from the Spanish company Opbrid SL has been installed at the end of the line in Umedalen. Each time the bus reaches the end of the line, it stops under the Bůsbaar, charges for a few minutes, and then resumes running using only electricity. The driver never has to get out, which is very important in Northern Sweden during the winter!

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving could miss the next month -- and maybe the rest of this season -- with a sprained left shoulder, the latest injury to sideline the All-Star guard.
Irving, who has dealt with several injuries during his brief NBA career, sprained his shoulder Sunday night in a loss to Toronto. He collided with Raptors rookie forward Jonas Valanciunas while trying to drive the baseline. Irving stayed in the game, but was taken out after he was unable to raise his left arm while shooting free throws.
The Cavaliers said an MRI revealed a left AC (acromioclavicular) sprain. He is projected to miss 3 to 4 weeks, but the Cavs have just 19 games left this season, so it's possible Irving will not play again.
Cavs coach Byron Scott would not speculate if Irving's season is over.
"We'll have to wait until it's completely healed and then just go from there," Scott said after Monday's practice.
Irving has already missed 14 games this season with a broken index finger and hyperextended knee. He broke his right hand last summer when he punched a padded wall during a practice in Las Vegas. He missed 14 games last season -- four with a concussion and 10 with a sprained right shoulder -- when he was chosen the league's top rookie.
Irving played with a broken jaw earlier this season, wearing a protective mask.
Despite the injuries, Scott doesn't believe his young star is fragile.
"He's still very young and his body hasn't fully developed," Scott said. "I'm just not that concerned about it, to be honest with you," Scott said. "All the injuries that he has gotten have been legitimate injuries. It's not something that keeps recurring over and over again."
Irving played just 11 games as a freshman at Duke because of a toe injury.
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.
1. Andrew Wiggins - Cavaliers
8. Nik Stauskas - Kings
18. Tyler Ennis - Suns
45. Dwight Powell - Hornets

Citizen input requested on Birch Bay's stormwater plan
By E. Steele-Friedlob
Whatcom County, working closely with the Storm Water Management and Shellfish Protection Subcommittee of the Birch Bay Steering Committee, has awarded a contract to CH2M-Hill, one of the biggest environmental consulting/development companies in the world, to develop the first of its kind storm water management plan for the Birch Bay watershed.
This nine-month effort will result in an innovative, geologically appropriate plan to manage storm water runoff in the Birch Bay watershed, including cost-effective approaches to retrofit existing storm water drainage structures to meet the community's rapid growth. The plan will also serve as a model storm water management plan for other Whatcom County communities.
The single most innovative feature of the process for developing the Birch Bay storm water management plan is the level of public involvement. To be effective this plan must be responsive to the storm water concerns of Birch Bay's citizens.
One of the main concerns of the Birch Bay community is the preservation of recreational shell fishing. Good water quality from effective storm water management is necessary to maintain quality clam and oyster harvests as well as to assure the health of other wildlife that depends on the bay. Good storm water management also provides information and techniques for citizens to minimize erosion of property in vulnerable areas along the bay and related key areas.
To this end, a workshop will be held on October 1 as a means to inform and involve the community in the project.
This workshop will serve as a key baseline for developing an accurate plan tailored to the needs and sensitivities of the community and the Birch Bay watershed. To do their job effectively, C2HM-Hill needs citizens' expert knowledge about their experience with patterns of flooding, runoff and erosion.
following are issues that will be addressed during the
• Mapping the storm water landscape for Birch Bay
• Terrain and pertinent geology that contributes to runoff issues
• Key run-off patterns
• Old challenges; areas with historical record of problems
• New challenge areas
The workshop will also address such issues as :
• Mapping locations
• Frequency
• Consequences
• Neighborhood impacts
• Any observed mitigation
• New developments
• Key questions
The workshop is free and will take place Saturday, October 1 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Birch Bay Bible Community Church gymnasium, 7039 Jackson Road, Birch Bay. For more information, please call Kathy Berg at 371-0171 or Elie Friedlob at 371-3441.

The Crane Army Ammunition Activity learned last month the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration would issue 36 notices for unsafe working conditions, after an explosion that injured 5 people earlier this year.
The findings including 34 "serious" violations with a "substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard" known to the base.
A pyrotechnic facility explosion March 28 sent five employees to a hospital for outpatient treatment and temporarily closed the unit. OSHA found the explosion and fire occurred in two dust collectors in the pyrotechnic building, where workers were in the process of cleaning a production area and there were multiple violations of OSHA rules.
The base has made multiple improvements and has been working with OSHA on unresolved issues.

Your kidneys filter waste products from your blood while retaining components your body needs — including proteins. Low levels of protein in urine are normal. Temporarily high levels of protein in urine aren't unusual either, especially after exercise or during an illness. However, some diseases and conditions can allow proteins to pass through the filters of your kidneys, causing protein in urine.
A protein to creatinine ratio may used if a person occasionally has some degree of protein in their urine without apparent kidney dysfunction. The test may also be used to monitor people with chronic kidney disease.

Oklahoma head football coach Bob Stoops is on the verge of joining the $5 million a year club.
Oklahoma's Board of Regents is expected to approve the pay increase when it meets Wednesday.
The deal, according to multiple reports, would make Stoops the second-highest paid college coach only trailing Alabama's Nick Saban.
After the Sooners defeated the Crimson Tide in last year's Sugar Bowl, a handful of NFL teams courted Stoops. The university believed the time was right to offer the pay increase to keep Stoops from bolting.
Stoops' current contract pays the 53-year-old $4.74 million per year and runs through 2020. Since taking over the OU program in 1999, Stoops has compiled a 160-39 overall record and a 99-24 record in Big 12 play. He has guided the Sooners to one national championship and eight conference titles.

Genevieve's Small Space in Montreal

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- First, I love the simplicity of living in a small space. Even though decorating a small space can be a challenge (mostly in regards to furniture size), I love that you can really focus on the pieces you buy since you don't need that much to furnish the entire apartment. Plus, cleaning my place takes about an hour total since it's so small! Who wants to spend the day cleaning when there are so many other fun things to do in this wonderful city!
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space
- Storage was my number one concern. When I bought this condo, I was coming from a duplex with a basement where I could store a lot of stuff. Fortunately, my new place did come with a locker and also a tiny room where the washer and dryer are located. Well, let me tell you, did I ever maximize both those spaces! Because the ceilings here are 10 feet high, I used the height to my advantage and bought a ton of transparent containers I labeled and piled up in the locker. I also put in some floor to ceiling cabinets from IKEA in the washer/dryer room where I can store sheets, towels even some food.
Since my bedroom is quite small and I really wanted to put a queen size bed, that only left me enough room for 2 night stands and the use of my wall-to-wall closet to store my clothes, shoes, bags, and a few other things. I put in floor-to-ceiling shelves on one side for all my shoes, a few shelves above the area where I hang my clothes, as well as a shoe stand on the floor.

I would love to see more pictures of this apartment. I love the set up!
love this place! i'm a huge fan of black paint, and that horse print is fantastic. i also think it's really adorable that you lit a candle for your photoshoot.
Great place, and what a beautiful balcony. Does your doggie have access to the grass behind the railing, or is that a common area for viewing only?
This is nice but for me the lighting in the first few photographs is terrible. There is a lot of light reflected off everything, so its very foggy looking. So I think the photos dont do your place justice. Your dog is gorgeous.
Love the patio area and the light colors in the bedroom, which I think make it feel larger.
Is that a water feature on your balcony??? I love it! (What floor are you on -- is that a garden apartment??) Wow!
love your place!!!!!!! love the horse print! and the backyard/garden aaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!!
Love your space, especially the charcoal wall and your coffee table. Can I ask where the table is from.
Oh wow, I love your place. Love the bedroom, the horse print, the Carine Roitfeld book.
Genevieve is such a beautiful name. I love your charcoal wall w/the gorgeous mirrors.
DROOLING, this place is amazing.
Love the horse art.
Thanks Katya! I actually wish they allowed us to submit more photos...
The grass area is actually the courtyward and we aren't aloud to bring our dogs there since their "business" would mess up the area. We do have other great areas around here though to bring our dogs.
Thanks! I wasn't even looking for this kind of art but when I saw it, I had to have it!
The wall is actually a dark blue. It was a risk since in theory, dark walls make a room look smaller but in this case it just makes a really nice statement. Plus, with the floor to ceiling patio door and window, lots of light comes it. I'm glad it turned out really nice.
That's so nice! Thanks! I really love living here and have taken great care to make it a reflexion of my personality.
I have to agree with you Hannah. I only have an iphone and really wanted to submit my entry quickly so I worked with that I had. That said, when I look at other entries, I feel like quite the amateur. The photos don't do the place justice but I'm still really proud of it.
Thanks @thesmilequeen! I agree. Since the bedroom is quite small, having the white semi transparent curtains (I have a pull down blind behind them) and the cream coloured wallpaper that is slightly iridescent makes the room airy and open.
You are very fortunate to have such a wonderful outdoor space. It fools the eye into thinking the apartment is twice its size.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - NewsChannel 5 obtained copies of the police supplementary report summarizing interviews with the alleged victim and one of the suspects in the Vanderbilt rape case.
The report provides their recollections of what really happened inside the Gillette House dormitory on the Vanderbilt campus.
Prosecutors said four former football players raped a 21-year-old student in a dorm room last June. Vandenburg denies the accusations.
"These allegations are ridiculous ... I'm completely innocent and I believe the truth will come out," said Vandenburg.
He and the alleged victim both talked to investigators. The interviews were conducted seven days after what happened in the dorm. And it is their memory from that night.
Of the night in question the alleged victim told police she: "... had gone to a bar and met Vandenburg ... She had been dating him approximately two weeks ... She became intoxicated."
The woman then told police Vandenburg took her back to his dorm.
She said: "... she had been drinking heavily and has very little or no memory of the events that took place."
Was she raped? She "advised she does not think she was sexually assaulted."
The woman told police she "did not feel like she had sex ..." and "she trusted Vandenburg and he would not let anything happen to her."
The alleged victim also said she had "consensual sex with him within a few days following the incident."
NewsChannel 5 legal analyst Nick Leonardo said her statements will likely be part of the evidence.
"This definitely could turn up at trial," said Leonardo.
One of the suspects -- Brandon Vandenburg interviewed with police the very same day as the alleged victim. He confirmed they met at the bar and then the two went back to campus.
It's there that Vandenburg said he ran into the three other co-defendants.
"Cory Batey, Brandon Banks and Tip McKenzie were outside the dorm and he asked them to help get her to his room. They carried her to his room and put her on the floor."
Vandenburg said the others then "began slapping her on the butt"... and touching her genitals. He told police he "took video of such with his cell phone."
Vandenburg also told police Cory urinated on the victim "while making a racial remark."
Vandenburg "denied having sex with or touching the woman while she was in the dorm room."
The details in these interviews -- along with surveillance video from the dorm and the cell phone video shot by Vandenburg-- will make up much of the key evidence in the criminal case.
The trial is scheduled for August.

Research, led by US scientists from the Wynn Institute for Vision Research, University of Iowa, have demonstrated that lentiviral delivery of a functioning gene for centrosomal protein may be capable of rescuing one of the most common forms of LCA. The pre-clinical experiments, conducted on derived murine and patient-specific photoreceptor precursor cells, successfully delivered a faithful copy of the CEP290 gene to overcome a defect in ciliogenesis. Following delivery, the cultured target cells, harbouring mutations in the CEP290 gene, were shown to express full-length replacement transcript to provide a level of functional rescue read

DIFF 2009 volunteer recruitment drive in November
Mon Nov 02,2009
Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF), the leading cinema event of the Middle East, Africa and Asia, will conduct its volunteer recruitment drive for this year in November. Open to all nationalities and age-groups, the volunteer programme offers UAE residents the opportunity to be part of the action, excitement and glamour associated with DIFF.
Organizers are seeking over 500 volunteers to help ensure a smooth run of the event that is expected to draw industry professionals from the regional and international cinema industry.
The volunteer recruitment for DIFF 2009 will be held on November 17, 22 and 29 from 6pm to 8pm at the Knowledge Village Auditorium. On November 17, the recruitment is exclusively for UAE nationals while the other two dates are open for all other nationalities. Those who are interested in volunteering for the event must register online at www.dubaifilmfest.com and confirm their attendance on a chosen date by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. Successful applicants will be called for a DIFF orientation prior to the Festival, and assigned to different departments.
Shivani Pandya, Managing Director of Dubai International Film Festival, said the volunteer programme has been central to the event in the past years making DIFF a truly community event. "Dubai is home to over 200 nationalities and our volunteer programme highlights the city's multicultural and cosmopolitan outlook to DIFF visitors from around the world."
The volunteer programme complements the 'Bridging Cultures, Meeting Minds' theme of DIFF, added Pandya. "With the wide variety of nationalities participating, it truly is an experience that bridges cultures and forges many new and lasting friendships. We're looking for friendly volunteers who like working with the public to do a variety of tasks before and during the festival."
Over 1,500 volunteers, including a large number of high school and undergraduate students, lent their support to the past editions of the Festival in a variety of tasks ranging from ushers, transportation and guest relation assistants, floaters and runners, in addition to administrative roles.
During the week-long event volunteers will be on hand throughout the day at different festival venues including Madinat Jumeirah, First Gulf Theatre (Madinat Souk Theatre), Cinestar Cinemas at Mall of the Emirates, and Dubai Media City's Amphitheatre.
Now in its sixth year, DIFF 2009 will be held from December 9 to 16. Dubai Duty Free, Dubai Pearl, Emirates Airline and Madinat Jumeirah are the principal sponsors of DIFF.

Ali Vincent appeared on season five of NBC's "The Biggest Loser" reality weight loss show and became the show's first female winner. Once a competitive athlete, when she gave up her sport (synchronized swimming) she did not begin a new fitness routine and the pounds slowly crept on over the years. Eventually, she found her 5′5″ frame topping out at 234 pounds. That's when Vincent decided to apply to be on "The Biggest Loser" and went on to lose 112 pounds. She recently made an appearance in Atlanta and took the time to respond to our questions about her weight loss journey.
Q. What was your biggest motivation for going on the show "The Biggest Loser" and making your weight loss journey an experience you shared with the public?
A. I had tried every diet in the world and they always worked but as soon as I quit the diet the weight started slowly but surely creeping back on. I wasn't a fan of the 'Biggest Loser' because I rarely watch TV but after watching the season 3 [finale] when a gentleman name Eric Chopin lost over 200lbs, I was mesmerized by what I saw in him. He was a different man full of confidence and pride and I wanted to feel that way. He was a different man when he punched through the life size poster of himself at the finale, than the guy who first stood on the 'Biggest Loser' scale during that first episode. I was tired of feeling bad about myself and I saw this as an amazing opportunity to turn my life around, thinking of doing it on TV honestly didn't really connect until the season started to air.
Q. Were there ever any moments where you feared you would fail to reach your weight loss goal? How did you overcome such obstacles?
A. ABSOLUTELY! I think every day the first time I was on campus I was terrified always thinking, "what if I am the first person who can't do this?" I was so disconnected with my body and so used to just accepting what I felt like life was dealing me, I had lost all confidence in what I knew in my heart of hearts I was capable of. It all started to change one minute on one minute off, of the treadmill that was. In each new minute I was able to do I knew I could do another one. I started to feel accomplished and my confidence started to grow as I nurtured it through small goals. I realized that if I just concentrated on the goal at hand, I could do that. In the long run all my small goals added up to the big goal and not only was I able to regain control of my body and my life, I became the First Female Biggest Loser, which I am extremely proud of.
Q. How have you been successful in keeping off the weight?
A. I have been successful at keeping my weight off because I changed my relationship with it. I am always going to be a girl who has to stay conscious in my choices and I wouldn't have it any other way. I made a lifestyle change and lifestyle implies a choice. A diet has a start and an end, my life is everyday.
Q. Are you on a specific diet? Please share your favorite healthy eating tips.
A. Yeah it's called BALANCE. I eat anything that I feel like eating, I just do it differently. I will grill instead of fry, I will use wheat or sprouted grain breads instead of white, I choose non-fat, I drink a lot of water instead of only Pepsi, I use small plates. I enjoy finding healthier ways to eat my favorite foods. One of my favorite sayings that I love to remind myself of every time I make something is "If I can't taste it, don't waste it." What that means to me is I'm not going to waste 80 calories for a slice of cheese in a beautiful sandwich loaded with hummus, sprouts, tomatoes, peppers, avocado and turkey but if I feel like tasting cheese then I make a little quesadilla and the calorie value is worth it.
Q. For someone just beginning their own weight loss journey, what advice would you give them?
A. My biggest piece of advice is that if you change nothing, start writing everything down and become conscious of your choices. Before the 'Biggest Loser' I had no idea the calorie value of anything yet alone what I was eating everyday. Keeping a journal on your food intake, activity, and emotions through the day allows you to become present in your life. By starting here you will be amazed and start making changes without ever really going on a diet.
Q. What's your favorite part of the Mind Body Sole tour?
A. My FAVORITE part of the Mind, Body, Sole tour that I am on with Famous Footwear is really truly just being a part of something bigger than myself. I love meeting the hundreds of people throughout our country that are choosing to be the change they want to see. So many of us have the same feelings, come across similar obstacles, and have big WINS in our lives we just need to start sharing them with our communities and each other. I remember feeling so alone before I started this journey and what I have realized is that I was never alone I just never gave anyone the opportunity to be on my team to support me. I love that Famous Footwear is really helping their customers know that they are not alone and that every big journey starts with one step. Famous Footwear is absolutely about providing the best and always looking for latest, highest quality SOLES (:)) out there for us, their customer.

I see fat people everywhere and I conclude Americans are just sick. There's something in the food. They're not all a bunch of lazy gluttons. The hormones etc. that they put in food are getting stuck in the humans and making them grow, too. "To Serve Man — It's a cookbook, it's a cookbook"

Sorry, Michael, but you are full of it. The food is not the problem. It's the people who eat it. Have you ever gone to a Golden Corral or even a neighborhood Chinese buffet? Fatties fill the place and they will literally knock you down to get to the fried chicken and other fatty stuff. Their plates are so full food is falling off of them and then they go back two or three more times. Fast food places — those burgers and fries consist of literally thousands of calories and it's almost all fat.
People don't seem to care that they are killing themselves. That means kids with no parents and lots of widows and widowers. Obesity is one of the primary reasons our health care costs are so outasight.
And let's not even talk about lazy. Nobody walks anywhere and people will kill you to get the closest parking spaces so they don't have to walk an extra 30 yards.
Get fit, lose the fat, or die early. It's really that simple.

Sorry Rocky, but it IS in the food–as well as personal responsibility. Food manufacturers spend a lot of time and research studying just the right components that make it hard to eat just one Dorito. The salt content, the fat content, the glycemic index of processed foods aren't by accident. That said, we have a personal responsiblity to shun processed foods, exercise, and turn away from the unhealthy stuff that is on every corner.
June 24th, 2010
12:05 pm
Thanks Rocky for agreeing with me. It's the food at the buffets and fast foods! And all you can drink sodas. And it's so cheap.
June 24th, 2010
8:47 pm
As someone that took 15 years to finally get control of my weight and stop yo yoing, I agree whole heartedly with Michael and Rocky. I wanted to blame anything else but my eating habits.
You can have the fatty foods, but stay away from them for five days before you eat them again. Drink water. You dont have to be an exercise machine, but do walk for 30 minutes a day.
Your weight problems WILL disappear.
June 26th, 2010

Michael is right. All the processed crap that people eat these days is definitely a contributing factor in the fat epidemic. It is loaded with so many hormones, chemicals, preservatives, and other nasty ungodly stuff that most people would vomit if they really knew how awful it was. If you don't have to make the food yourself, stay away from it. That's my rule of thumb.
Eating healthy can be cheap too if you educate yourself about it and make the effort. There is nothing healthier than some grilled chicken and vegtables for dinner. How much do you think that costs? Not much. If your fat butt doesn't want to eat that then fine, but don't hide behind the "I can't afford to eat healthy" excuse. That's one of the biggest myths out there. Its simply not true.
June 26th, 2010
9:49 pm
The processed food is crap. I help a friend work his beef herd. The cows get steriods, hormones, antibotics, and wormer that is poison to humans. Steak, it's what's for dinner…….. However, anyone who blames food for making them fat migh just have fat on the brain.
Just don't buy it, or lift your arm to put it in your mouth. It's that simple. Now that I shared that secret the millions and billions spend on diets schemes can be used to cure cancer or clean up oil.
Congratulations Ali !

The first time I went to Weight Watchers, I was 5′2, and weighed 135 lbs. There was a 21 year old there who had lost what I weighed(135) I was shocked that she could have allowed herself to get that fat in such a short time. I was 30 and had gained 10 lbs, that is why I was there. I have always watched my weight and what I eat. I know when I start to gain because my clothes no longer fit the same, so I cut back and not let it get the best of me. I don't eat fast foods, I cook my own in the oven, and I limit my intake of pork and beef. It isn't easy at all because I love food and I love to eat, but the end results are not what I want for my body.

Ali always has been a big influence. It takes dedication, hard work, and most of all giving up things we like. It's called self discipline the hardest thing in the world to do. I am 60 yrs old, with arthritis throughout my body, both hips replaced, and back surgery 1 yr ago. I live in a small country town and the gym here doesn't want to help us. Their afraid we will get hurt. Iam 30 lbs overweight and know it would benefit me to get on a program, learn what I can and can't do, what exercises to do and so forth. This is hoping that someone will help me find the solution to this. faith levister

5 Meals To Make Without Giving Others Your Cold
Has anyone else noticed that there is this icky flu-like virus going around that everyone seems to have? Are you prepared for it to hit your own home? When it does, make sure you're armed and ready with these 5 meals that all throw together in an instant if you're the first to catch it. You'll be able to cook without the fear of diseasing your entire family — even if you're heavily medicated!
1. Chicken Soup with Herb Dumplings: This recipe is exactly why you should always have a little roasted chicken in your freezer from a previous meal. It's perfect to toss in this simple soup that is not only good for you, but easy to make (and even easier with a few frozen veggies)
2. Basic Oven Omelet: It is a proven fact that you can eat breakfast foods at any time of the day. This one literally requires you to be able to open your fridge, take out leftovers and throw them together with some egg and stuff it in the oven. Don't forget to set a timer!
3. Baked Potato Soup With Bacon, Onion & Cheddar: Depending on what kind of sick you are, this recipe may or may not be something your stomach can handle (helllloooo dairy!), but that doesn't mean it won't feed your entire household for a few days. Bake your potatoes during a nap or two and the whole recipe comes together in literal seconds — all you really wanted was some toast anyway.
4. Cream Biscuits In Less Than 15 Minutes: Ok so biscuits themselves aren't exactly a meal. But add a fried egg, some gravy, potentially a luncheon mean and cheese and you're all set. These don't even require kneading, just mix, form, cut and done... now where's the sofa and some more tissues?
5. Cheetos: Ok, so they're not really a meal and Emma didn't really intend them to be when she wrote this previous post, but the comments are filled with 100+ confessions of super simple meal ideas that range from snacks to leftovers (we won't tell you how old). Remember, if you're too out of it to be near the stove, there's no shame in saying junk food night!

No offense, but if you're the first to catch it these are the meals they should be making for you.
In theory, but if you're not that lucky... then the responsibility still falls on your shoulders!
Oh, I have it now, and I NEVER get sick. Haven't had the flu in 10 years, but this one is a doozy, wiped me out for the entire week. I would LOVE some of that chicken soup right now...
I caught it last week and just today got my appetite back and made myself sick by eating waaay to much junk food. Good choices made daily.
My husband has this and it's awful.
I agree that the non-sick person should be making dinner, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way!
Also, sometimes you both get sick at once. ;_;
I NEVER get sick either, and I've had the flu for 1 week now.... Lots of rest, juices, and an over-load of vitamin C is what it takes. I think I'm getting better, but hate being away from my kitchen :)
Chef Chuck
I just finished having that flu. The middle day was like those scenes in Victorian novels in which people mutter about "brain fever," only with prodigious amounts of phlegm. The only things I could stand to eat were tater tots and mixed nuts.
My first sign of serious recovery was ability to make my version of the quick breakfast casserole.
I'm going on day 17 of the flu and I'm finally starting to feel like a human again. A ton of matzoball soup and lots of fluids! Coconut water was recommended to me by my doctor.... soothing and lots of electrolytes.

Can luxury brands (specifically cars) be at the leading edge of sustainability?
To drive a Rolls Royce, a Maybach or a Mercedes S Class would be a message that the owner couldn't care less about gas overconsumption and the warming of the atmosphere.
The question is to what extent can luxury brands incorporate sustainability demands and yet remain luxury?
To be more specific:
What is the challenge for premium cars while promising a Sustainable future?

Child Care Assistance Program
Available To Soldiers and DA Civilians
Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood is a Department of Defense program designed to meet the child care needs of Service Members and Civilians living in areas where on-base military child care is not available. Eligible Service Members include Recruiting Command, Cadet Command, and Military Entrance Processing personnel.
Now with Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood, many of them will be eligible to pay reduced fees for the care of their children. To meet this need, the DoD has asked National Association of Child Care and Resource Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) to partner with state and local Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies CCR R to locate or develop high quality child care spaces that meet DoD quality standards, and provide fee assistance to lower the child care cost to military Families.
The civilian child care programs that provide Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood child care spaces are comparable in quality to Military-operated on-base spaces and meet most DoD and Service standards.
How exactly will Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood work?
The Service Member, Civilian, spouse, or legal guardian contacts Child Care Aware, a division of NACCRRA, toll-free at 1-800-424-2246 to determine eligibility. If eligible, families can enroll by using the NACCRRA web page and clicking on the link for the appropriate military Service. Applications can be filled out on line, then sent by mail or fax.
NACCRRA staff will collect information to determine eligibility and specific child care needs.
In addition to the parent and provider application, NACCRRA requires the following documents (copies) via e/mail, fax, or mail:
Service Member's military orders
Leave and Earnings statement (LES) for both the Service Member/Civilian and spouse (most recent month)
Child(ren)'s birth certificate(s)
Callers are given enrollment information about available child care spaces in quality civilian community child care programs. Callers are referred to their local CCRR agency for available quality spaces.
For additional information, call Child Care Aware, a division of NACCRRA, toll-free at 1-800-424-2246.
Free Counseling and Information Service
Available at NO COST to You and Your Family!
USAREC Soldiers and family members have new assistance service available to them. The Department of Defense has contracted with Ceridian Corporation to provide a work/life program at no cost to the Soldier or Family member.
The service provides online information, educational materials, telephonic consultation and 'face-to-face' counseling to assist Soldiers and Family members with day-to-day life and work.
'Face-to-face' counseling appointments are scheduled with a professional counselor in your local area. You receive up to twelve counseling sessions for each separate issue or problem.
Call 800-342-9647 or visit the Military OneSource web site to request counseling, information, educational pamphlets or CDs, and other resources available through mail.
