Crunchy Baked Chicken Recipe
- Posted on
- 4 Comments
I love fried chicken, but I don't love all the extra calories and fat that come with it. This chicken is so crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside that you just might think you are eating fried chicken. It is full of flavor and our whole family devoured it!
Crunchy Baked Chicken Recipe:
(Serves 4-6)
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 (2.8 ounce) can of french-fried onions, crushed
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4-5 chicken breasts, cut up
1/4 cup butter, melted
In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg and milk. In another bowl, combine the crushed onions, cheese, bread crumbs, paprika, salt and pepper. Dip chicken in the egg mixture, then roll in the onion mixture. Place coated chicken pieces in a greased baking dish. Drizzle melted butter on top of chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until cooked thoroughly.

Academics Anna Bean - Guest Director
Annemarie "Anna" Bean was a Visiting Associate Professor in the African American Studies Program at Wesleyan University in 2007-08, and also taught at Williams College from 1998 to 2007, where she was the founder and coordinator of the Performance Studies Program and Assistant Professor in the Department of Theatre. She currently teaches at the Berkshire Arts & Technology Charter Public School in Adams, Massachusetts in English Language Arts; and at the Community College of Vermont in Bennington.
Anna's research focuses on African American drama and performance in the 19th and 20th centuries. She has co-edited and edited two anthologies, and has recently completed work on a manuscript on cross-race and cross-gender popular culture performances.
Teaching Philosophy
Anna looks to cultivate excitement in her productions by creating interplay between her directing and her practice as a scholar: "I try to emulate the model of the director/dramaturg." The plays she has directed have evoked a myriad of actor responses, including anger, surprise, relief and guilt. The student usually feels grounded in his or her own perspective because it is based in the rehearsal work, rather than in opinion or culturally based information. Anna believe this is essential in facilitating a comfortable and meaningful environment for making a play."

After a year of high-profile disputes between television distributors and programmers, many customers will see higher satellite TV bills in 2013.
DirecTV' (DTV, Fortune 500)customers' bills will rise by an average of 4.5% starting on Feb. 7, which company officials attributed to an 8% increase in programming costs. New customers paying a promotional price will not be affected.
Also citing rising programming costs, competing satellite provider Dish Network (DISH, Fortune 500)said it will raise rates by as much as $15 a month on Jan. 17. Customers in their first year of service will be shielded from the hikes.
Some cable companies have also said they will raise rates this year; increases vary by region.
Plug those small expenses that add up over time. See which of these money leaks apply to you and start saving hundreds - or even thousands -- a year.

The Association for Green Meetings & Events, which launched last spring and in July reported having 236 paying members and 501(c)(3) nonprofit status, has yet to provide most of its promised member benefits and has failed to incorporate under Georgia law or file an application for tax-exempt status, according to the Internal Revenue Service. Several of the principals have also resigned.
According to the Georgia secretary of state's office, Canton, Ga.–based AGME reserved its name on July 21, 2008, but never filed the paperwork to become incorporated. AGME's registration of the name expired on August 20. Loriann White, CMM, AGME's co-founder, president, and chief innovation officer, and a former regional vice president at site selection firm ConferenceDirect, claims the organization is, in fact, incorporated, but with regard to its 501(c)(3) status, she says, "We're holding off."
AGME promotional materials lists a program for certification in green meetings and events as an important member benefit, and, in July, White reported that the certification would launch at the group's first meeting, August 24–27, 2008, in Long Beach, Calif. However, the meeting was canceled and the certification program has not yet rolled out. White says the soft economy, high cost of air travel, and members' difficulty getting time away from the office contributed to low registration, which forced the meeting cancellation. She said 32 people registered for the event, all of whom have received a refund. The certification program is expected to launch in 2009, according to White, who says she has had preliminary discussions with area universities about how AGME might work with them on the program.
Other stated AGME member benefits include e-newsletters, which have not been published, and online educational webinars. White says she held her first AGME webinar on October 31 to an audience of 96.
The association continues to accept memberships but has not invoiced recent recruits, says White, who claims AGME now has 362 members. The cost for membership is $99 per individual per year, with discounts for multiple members from a single company.
"We grew so fast, too soon. We need to take a step back. … It was kind of a blow to have people leave at a key time," says White, referring to the July 2008 resignations of her key executives, including co-founder Hadley Laughlin, founder of Plan-it Friendly LLC; chief knowledge officer Michele Wierzgac, CMM, principal with Chicago-based Michele & Co.; vice president of membership Mary Jane Myers, national sales manager, Long Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, based in Atlanta; and Dallas Teague Snider, LeadReferrals Consulting & Marketing Services, who handled communications. None would comment on their reasons for leaving, but White called it a "miscommunication" and a "difference of opinion." She said, "They were moving in one direction, and we were moving in another." According to White, several new officers have signed on with the organization, including Vicky Penchosky, ConferenceDirect and Donna Nealey, The Facility Group.
White says she will be revamping the organization in January, and while "the mission and vision will be the same," she says AGME needs "to start fresh."
If White can rebuild, among the people who won't be joining in is Long Beach's Myers who has signed on as vice president of the brand-new Atlanta Chapter-in-Formation of the Green Meeting Industry Council. This first-ever GMIC chapter, which is expected to soon be followed by a Chicago chapter, is being headed up by Audrey Davies, senior manager, events management, The Home Depot, USA Inc. Also on the Atlanta GMIC board are Membership Chair Alesa McArthur, PRA; Evena Gekes, Axiom Meetings; Joe Salazarte, Cox Enterprise; and Michael Hall, IHG. Davies says the GMIC chapter is in no way related to either AGME or the Atlanta Green Meetings Council, www.atlantagreenmeetings.com (also co-founded by White and Laughlin, and a precursor to the national AGME). GMIC is a national 501(c)(6) organization that has been serving as the voice of the green meetings movement in the U.S.
The business licensing department for the city of Canton, Ga., where AGME and White are based, told MeetingsNet that no business license existed for the organization. While White stated that AGME was incorporated, she had not supplied any verification of the organization's business status as of press time.
You don't have to incorporate to be an association, according to lawyer James Goldberg, principal at Goldberg & Associates, a Washington, D.C.–based law firm that represents associations. "You can be an unincorporated association, but I and most other lawyers will probably tell you that's not a good idea, for liability reasons. The better approach is to incorporate.
"If you are a member, I think you'd want to know if they are incorporated or not, but more importantly, are they a nonprofit or a for-profit. Because the motivations are somewhat different, I guess: In a nonprofit, a member may have certain rights to elect directors or officers, whereas in a for-profit, they may not have those rights."

January 21, 2013 – School nutrition professionals may be asked to continually do more with less, but their spirit remains undiminished, as evidenced by the passion and energy exhibited in San Antonio in mid-January during SNA's annual Child Nutrition Industry Conference (CNIC). Tighter budgets, new nutrition standards, aging equipment and a white-hot media spotlight—plus the usual array of daily frustrations—make school nutrition the single-most complex segment in foodservice. But for several days in San Antonio, Texas, 600+ operators and industry representatives demonstrated how they rise to meet every challenge: by working together. Truly, CNIC was a place "Where Partners Create Possibilities."
Ross Shafer
Every aspect of CNIC 2013 was designed to motivate attendees to share their ideas, transformations and results. And with record-breaking attendance, participants showed up to make the most of the potential offered at this dynamic learning and networking event.
Author Ross Shafer kicked things off by encouraging a spirit of reinvention and relevance. Shafer urged the audience to take a fresh approach to change, transition and growth. "How do you innovate in a change environment?" he asked, suggesting an unexpected answer: "You change by UNDER-thinking." After all, he noted, most of us are very familiar with over-thinking a problem or challenge. Under-thinking, he contends, allows us to "look at change in a different way." The bottom line, he said in closing, is to remember that "rapport is your greatest ally, and that we can move nations if we can show an interest in people."
Over the course of the four-day event, several lively panels took on a variety of hot topics in school nutrition. From exploring the opportunities found in today's social media marketing approaches to examining the findings of new research from SNA and the Pew Charitable Trust, these sessions offered both provocative data and practical solutions.
CNIC 2013 featured a number of lively panel sessions with school nutrition leaders.
Less than a year has passed since the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released the first update to school meal nutrition standards in more than a decade. The first few months of implementation has meant both trial and triumph for operators and their industry partners. There were several formal and informal opportunities for attendees to discuss these and identify potential strategies and solutions. These included designated Industry Information Sessions, special networking breaks and a USDA-focused Networking luncheon. Indeed, opportunities for networking between operators and industry are a hallmark of CNIC. The popular Innovation Stations offered operators special advance previews of recently introduced or in-development products, services and solutions.
Dr. Janey Thornton, SNS, Deputy Under Secretary for Food and Nutrition Service, and an SNA past president, provided assurance and updates during Monday luncheon. She encouraged participants to continue to work together as other aspects of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 are implemented in the coming months. A dynamic "MyPlate Breakfast" carried on the theme of creating possibilities in response to change. The unique meal presentation was based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the MyPlate nutrition guidance.
Personal wellness also was a focus for this year's CNIC agenda! Attendees were encouraged to join SNA President Sandra Ford, SNS, and "Step out for Better Health" on Sunday afternoon and Tuesday morning. Groups participated in brisk 2-mile walking tours of historic San Antonio. These wellness activities supported SNA's new personal wellness initiative the STEPS Challenge program, sponsored by Jennie-O Turkey Store.
Jackie Freiberg
Closing Keynote Speaker Jackie Freiberg, an author and leadership expert, urged participants to take the energy generated throughout CNIC to find exciting and engaging ways to innovate and create possibilities. We all have to push through the white noise and creative positive disruptions, she insisted. Be "uncomfortable" and see the opportunities for change!"

Culinary Competition at CNIC
January 18, 2013 – The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in San Antonio hosted a "Chopped"-style cooking competition for SNA members at the 2013 Child Nutrition Industry Conference (CNIC) this past weekend.
On Saturday, nutrition directors from school districts all over the country battled it out to prepare delicious and economical meals that meet the new meal pattern requirements. CIA chefs joined in on the fun, too – Chef Michael Katz provided a culinary demonstration, lectured participants on flavor profiles and recipe development, and gave pointers and tips.
SNA members prepared healthy meals as part of a cooking competition at the Culinary Institute of America
But before they got cooking, each of the six teams hit the local Farmers Market with $25, collecting whatever fresh ingredients they want to feature in their recipes. Some of the inventive recipes included an avocado ranch dressing, jalapeno relish, risotto fries, southwest tuna wraps, and black bean soup served in a tortilla bowl. Each team was judged on creativity, team cooperation and planning.
The winning dish? Tuna casserole, fiesta chicken salad, local greens, Arborio rice, and a pineapple & strawberry cup. Congrats to the winning team members:

GCNF's A Possible Dream Gala
January 16, 2013—Is your food fashionable? Now that we're several weeks into 2013, let's take a look at some of the culinary trends to watch for this year as predicted by the experts.
Children's meals were all over the National Restaurant Association's What's Hot in 2013 survey results. Chefs are boosting the health content of their kids' meals, while foodies everywhere are realizing the impact of whole-grain items, as well as fruits and vegetables as side items. Perhaps correlating with that theme is the increase in gluten-free cuisine available and a burgeoning interest in non-wheat noodles, such as quinoa and rice pasta.
As the American public grows more health-aware, it's no surprise that produce continues to be a hot conversation topic. Locally sourced and environmentally sustainable options linger on the forefront, while the folks at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution have predicted that a wider assortment of greens are being used on menus. Where kale once triumphed, beet greens, chard and turnip greens are now prospering. Veggies are even showing up in desserts—carrot cake has always been a favorite, but corn, cucumbers, beets and avocadoes are now lending their tastes and textures to the sweet finale (for example, avocado ice cream).
But it's not all about health for 2013. Experts have taken a closer look at how Americans are incorporating ethnic foods into their daily lives and have found that the younger generations are increasingly including global dishes in their list of comfort foods, according to the Food Channel 2013 Trends Forecast. Alongside macaroni and cheese and pot roast, dishes such as Japanese ramen and Vietnamese pho as regarded as comfort food, too. Ethnic inspiration is frequently showing up in breakfast items, too, in items such as chorizo scrambled eggs and coconut milk pancakes. In the same vein, McCormick has upped the ante with a range of unexpected flavor trends, including combining global flavors in unpredictable ways—Japanese Katsu sauce with oregano, for example.
If the latest trend forecast has made you realize that your recipes are so 2012, don't worry—you have nine months left to get in vogue before the experts shake things up again.

January 7, 2013—When it comes to equipment, on a daily basis, school nutrition operators rely on machines and devices that are efficient and hard-working, but what aspects of the bigger equipment picture also are important to consider? The January issue of School Nutrition, SNA's award-winning flagship publication, explores the equipment-related topics that should be top of mind for school nutrition professionals. The issue also details the types of vegetables that must be served on a weekly basis as part of the dark green vegetables requirement of the new meal pattern regulation.
The top procurement goals of the equipment vendor are quite different from those of the school nutrition operator. But that doesn't mean they have to be at odds! Learn how vendors and operators can find common ground in the equipment procurement process in "The Buying Game." Bonus Web Content: Curious about how equipment manufacturers train their reps to sell effectively to the K-12 school nutrition market? Find out in exclusive online content, and hear reflections from several operators on the different experiences they have purchasing replacement pieces versus equipping a brand-new facility.
While school kitchens today look nothing like those predicted in Sixties-era science fiction, basic kitchen equipment technology has evolved over the years. Take a journey of equipment through the ages in "Hot & Cold."
Is your operation equipped for the challenge of surviving a much-needed, but possibly ill-timed, kitchen or cafeteria renovation? School nutrition colleagues who have undergone such renovations offer insight and wisdom that just might save you some time—and money—in "In the Wake of the Wrecking Ball."
"Bein' Green" decodes which dark green vegetables are acceptable under the new meal pattern regulation and offers some suggestions for kid-friendly menu options. Bonus Web Content: Don't miss additional recipe selections available as online-only content.
School Nutrition–January 2013
January 4, 2013—Though issues related to the fiscal cliff have garnered much attention recently among the American public, another topic important to voters continues to be childhood hunger, as demonstrated by a new poll from Share Our Strength indicating that Americans across the political spectrum are deeply concerned about the issue. The poll, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates (a Republican firm) and Freedman Consulting, LLC (a Democratic firm), surveyed 1,000 people who voted in the 2012 presidential election. According to the survey, while they are worried about childhood hunger, Americans also believe it is a solvable problem. Accordingly, the public wants federal, state and local leaders to protect the nutrition programs that ensure that our nation's children get the healthy food they need.
Specifically, 60% of survey respondents said it was more important to fund child nutrition programs than to reduce the national debt. Almost all voters surveyed (88%) supported programs that provide nutritious school breakfasts to children who might otherwise go hungry. In addition, among respondents who said they would prefer "a smaller government with fewer services" to "a larger government with more services," 81% agreed that local elected officials should support programs to ensure that kids at risk of hunger have access to nutritious breakfasts at school.

Inappropriate material?
Ideas? Technical issues?
» Feedback to a-n
By: Marie Kazalia
I'm working with visual memory and text
(rather than memory based in human figures and narrative)
Especially foreign writing--from travels in Asia
and visual influences of written Asian language characters.
# 3 [25 November 2010]
Micro art projects; that aren't *my* projects, but I have been invited to contribute some small part to them:
MUBE, (the design museum in Sao Paolo, Brazil) Toy exhibit--the curator, A.F. who has an association with the ongoing Fluxus workings, invited me to participate in the Toy exhibit.
I was one of hundreds mailed the toy kit, which I have been painting off and on little by little over several days--fluorescent orange and yellow Flashe paints and applying decals of dingbats I create from b & w photocopies and acrylic medium (aka image transfers).
It's finished and now I have to photography it for their project blog, and mail the completed toy to MUBE.
It was a little bit of a *fun* project but a little bit more time consuming than I had expected, due mainly to my own chosen method of applying image transfers--which requires removing the backing paper when dry and can become labor intensive.
I'm leading up to the point of Fluxus and other *neo* art movements--neo-surrealism, neo-pop, the most despised by art critics : neo-Impressionism and RE-Modernists movement. The ongoing discussion online as to whether it is valid or not to keep a movement going after the originating artists are dead. Calling it *Neo* or *re-* riding on the coattails of success of others? (Personally I agree with the critics)
THe Fluxus people still refer to themselves as Fluxus, and think that they are still the original Fluxus movement since Ruud Jansen, considered one of the founding members, is still alive and active in these projects. I am connected with Ruud online, have mailed postcards to him in Amsterdam. Months back, I was asked to complete a questionaire on my associations with various mail artists for someone's PhD dissertation (which I did complete). But I consider myself ocassional and moderately associated.
Also I am thinking about the *homage* exhibitions and their validity for me.
I participated with submissions to an homage exhibition in NYC, for artist Ray Johnson. Does the fact that famous name artists such as Yoko Ono and Peter Schyuff contributed postcards sets as submissions to this exhibit validate ? Or that an entire set of postcards from the show (including mine) ended up in the permanent collection of MoMA, MoMA Wales and others?
I also sent a small piece to the Sol LeWitt homage exhibition at Mass Moca.
Still thinking about these things as I spend most of my time working on my own art processes.

# 1 [12 November 2010]
My most fascinating fleeting memories (back into childhood) are textual--the large, colorful product packaging lettering, billboard lettering---that seems scattered through my thoughts just out of reach in cropped bits and fragments--
I refer to these writings that I draw and paint
as Asemic writing. Asemic writing does not intended to spell out actual words or even consist of actual readable letters or characters. I work from written language characters that have been abstracted in form, or cropped, reversed, or combined.

USA born artist
I have an interest in the possibilities of both maintaining and breaking the edge and Asemic writing.
Asemic writing consists of language-like marks unreadable as writing, so as to straddle the line between the visual and the textual. My Asemic writing is informed by my formal language studies of Mandarin Chinese at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China, and language studies at private language schools in Tokyo, Japan and in India. My stronger American influences on my Asemic writing reference everyday product package lettering past and present.

Academic Honesty:As a learning community, the University upholds the highest standards of academic integrity in all its academic activities, by faculty, staff, administrators and students. Academic integrity involves much more than respecting intellectual property rights. It lies at the heart of learning, creativity, and the core values of the University. Those who learn, teach, write, publish, present, or exhibit creative works are advised to familiarize themselves with the requirements of academic integrity and make every effort to avoid possible offenses against it, knowingly or unknowingly. Park University 2012-2013 Graduate Catalog Page 21-22
Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, interpretation, words (even a few), data, statements, illustration or creative work and their presentation as one's own. An offense against plagiarism constitutes a serious academic misconduct. Although offenses against academic integrity can manifest themselves in various ways, the most common forms of offenses are plagiarism and cheating. Plagiarism goes beyond the copying of an entire article. It may include, but is not limited to: copying a section of an article or a chapter from a book, reproduction of an art work, illustration, cartoon, photograph and the like and passing them off as one's own. Copying from the Internet is no less serious an offense than copying from a book or printed article, even when the material is not copyrighted.
Plagiarism also includes borrowing ideas and phrases from, or paraphrasing, someone else's work, published or unpublished, without acknowledging and documenting the source. Acknowledging and documenting the source of an idea or phrase, at the point where it is utilized, is necessary even when the idea or phrase is taken from a speech or conversation with another person.
Park University 2011-2012 Graduate Catalog Page 21
Attendance Policy:
Students must participate in an academically related activity on a weekly basis in order to be marked present in an online class. Examples of academically-related activities include but are not limited to: contributing to an online discussion, completing a quiz or exam, completing an assignment, initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a course related question, or using any of the learning management system tools. Park University 2012-2013 Graduate Catalog Page 26
Disability Guidelines:Park University is committed to meeting the needs of all students that meet the criteria for special assistance. These guidelines are designed to supply directions to students concerning the information necessary to accomplish this goal. It is Park University's policy to comply fully with federal and state law, including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, regarding students with disabilities. In the case of any inconsistency between these guidelines and federal and/or state law, the provisions of the law will apply. Additional information concerning Park University's policies and procedures related to disability can be found on the Park University web page: http://www.park.edu/disability .

"We were married in Maui and ordered these cards as a way to personalize our thank you cards. We purchased the digital negative from our photographer and uploaded it to Tiny Prints. It was super easy and they were gorgeous. Our delivery arrived at Costco a day or two before it was expected. We ordered two sets of cards; same background but different picture since we wanted a group photo for those who attended the wedding. Our friends loved them. Some of the comments we received: "the best thank you card ever" "what a great idea" "how beautiful". I definitely recommend this website."
"We ordered these cards as "thank you cards" from my son for christmas. They turned out absolutely beautifully. Simple, modern and "casual." Can't wait to send them out to our friends and family."

I worked at WRC full-time for more than a year
Pros – company supplies safe working conditions
Cons – highly pressured by some supervisors
Advice to Senior Management – none
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at WRC
Pros – It was rewarding to work with the community. Many people have lots of questions about weather, to show them more and answer questions gave me great satisfaction.
Cons – The management structure was terrible. Professionalism is rarely ever found and speaking poorly of others (in the organization or not) occures too frequently by upper management. The hours were long and rarely would there be more than one day off in a row.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at WRC
Pros – It's a wonderful idea with great potential. The work has its moments where it's very rewarding and the job description is unique to the environment.
Cons – Management is a limiting factor. Changes, new approaches or criticism from the public often brings a very poor response. When issues arise, there is very little to no resolution or direction provided from management. The staff is expected to me a "jack of all trades, master of none" and they often waste time and money that could be better spent.
Advice to Senior Management – Hire outside professionals to help run the daily ins and outs of the organization. Eliminate time wasted doing projects that benefit the organization little. Be open to changes and listen to the community and what they have to say.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

121 S Stratford Rd, Winston Salem, NC | Directions 2710436.095762 -80.277192
Monday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM; Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM; Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM; Thursday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM; Friday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM; Saturday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM; Sunday: Closed
Terrible experience. They told me it wouldn't hurt and then when it did they charged me extra for numbing. Really? They burned my underarm and left a scar. They have different people there all the time. I tried to get my money back they they made no concessions. I am not going back
WARNING DO NOT GO HERE! READ THIS! – Their laser removal is a scam, apparently the other reviewers work there or are on drugs. First- it's $4000 and the bottom line is THERE IS NO MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. So if it fails, (which read up) it does a lot! Then they keep your money and you get to keep just as much hair as you had before. My husband did this for two and a half years with NO hair reduction. Their reply?? You can just keep paying for extra sessions and hope it magically goes away.. then they told him it was hard to get rid of his type of hair and they have NEVER seen this before... So I addressed that with a rep on their website, here is the conversation:
Camille: Hi Jennifer
Camille: How are you doing?
Jennifer: Hi
Jennifer: Great thank you
Jennifer: I was wanting to get hair removed off my back and arms
Camille: Great!
Jennifer: My hair is thick, black and coarse as I am Italian
Camille: Right now is a great time to look into your options because we are running our Guest Appreciation sale that will save you up to 70% off.
Camille: Black hair is perfect for laser hair removal.
Jennifer: I was wondering if it does NOT work, do you have a guarantee?
Camille: We do offer lifetime membership that will guarantee your results. Our consultant can go more in detail with you about this but you should have great results if you hair is black and coarse!
Camille: How are you taking care of the hair now?
Camille: shaving, waxing, etc
Jennifer: So there is no money back guarantee if it fails, just more sessions?
Camille: I don't believe there is a money back guarantee but we will evaluate you through out treatment to make sure you are on the road to being hair free. Our consultant can verify this with you.
SO to sum it up a person with hair and ethnicity like my husband should have "great results?" at this point, please look at the pictures I posted of my husband's back and burnt shoulder and see what happens to someone who it doesn't work for.
He did not know what he was getting himself into and we lost our money, but now you have the chance to NOT DO THIS!! Please tell everyone you know to stay away from Ideal Image!
Best decision – Seriously, i was a little shocked when i first found out how much this costs, especially when compared to the prices at some medical spas, But I felt so comfortable there and they had a payment plan, so I went with them. My friend went with the medical spa a year ago for 6 treatments and all the hair came back. I am still going through my nine treatments at Ideal but the hair isn't coming back! My friend thought it was a joke about using different lasers but it is so true. Our results are so different. She said that she is now going to go to Ideal and start her treatments all over again. Glad I went with my gut. I have never felt better- my legs feel softer than I thought they could.
Michelle is the best – I have been going to this salon since I moved here with my family in 89. They are the best....no words describe it. If you are lucky enough to get Michelle (partial owner) you are in good hands!
Very pleased – I just signed up with Ideal Image during there Image day and i was very excited to get started and i highly recomend going! There staff is so nice, and there very professional. They make you feel right at home. I think i made the best decision going to them, I have heard a lot of horor stories and i think i chose a great place. Deffinitly recomend!
I was disappointed – I went to Ideal Image in Winston-Salem on Stratford Rd. The laser did not work to remove my hair and I got a burn. I had saved up my money and I don't have a lot. Next time I think I will go to a private medical office.
great place – Thanks Ideal Image! I am pleased with the results and service I received here. I recommend, five stars.
They burned me – I went to Ideal Image for laser hair removal on my beard and they burned me. I told them it was hurting a lot while she was doing the hair removal but she didn't turn the laser down. I asked to see the doctor and they told me there wasn't one there. I will never go back there again. I made an appointment to go to a private Dermatologist in Winston-Salem instead. I cannot recommend Ideal Image in Winston-Salem on Stratford Rd.
bad experience – Not at all what it seems in the ads. Painful, tech didn't seems to know what she was doing. High pressure sales.
Not at all what it seems like in their ads – Ideal Image in Winston-Salem is not what it seems to be in the ads.Bad experience. High pressure sales. They charge extra for numbing. There is no doctor on site, only nurses. The lady who did my case didn't seem to know what she was doing. Maybe it was her first day. In their ads they make it seems like such a fun experience. In fact, without the numbing, it is painful.
I went to a private Dermatology office in town for my next treatment, and had a much more pleasant experience. The Dermatologist wasin the office and I met with her personally before my treatment. They used this great numbing ointment., and I didn't have any pain. There was no extra charge for the numbing.The Dermatologist set the laser herself. The PA did the case, and it was obvious she had done a lot of cases. She was cofident, and everything went smoothly. I will not be going back to Ideal Image.

I don't think you are supposed to damn near cut the joist in half to do this...but I could be wrong.
I currently have a drop ceiling in most of my basement that is at 7' height. I want to get rid of that and go with an 8' drywall (or even high suspended) ceiling wherever possible, bulkheading around the HVAC supply/return channels. My question comes in regards to the current plumbing that is down there. At the lowest point, I would be stuck at 7' height on the ceiling to cover all this as it sits. Would it be feasible to raise it higher and tuck as much as possible between the floor joists, possibly doing just a small bulkhead against the wall or something?
Something like this, I would not handle myself; I would have a pro come in and do it. Before I waste one's time coming, I'd like to know if it's even feasible, and if so, a rough estimate (I know it varies greatly, but a ballpark) of what I'd be looking at ($500? $2500?).
Also, don't blame me for anything that is blatantly wrong or against code...I bought it this way.
Along those same lines, if it's determined that it can't be raised, or it's not worth the cost, I may just build a closet/storage room below this area. Do a drop ceiling just in that small room so that the plumbing is still accessible should I ever need to get into it.
Lastly, if anything is glaringly obvious/wrong/dangerous, feel free to point it out.
Thank you!

There's a limit on how many, and where you can drill holes in floor joists. Your last picture shows a distintly non-approved notching of the joist. Notches are never approved, but happen more than you'd like. That joist is now the equivalent of what's left through its full length, and now probably does not support the floor properly.
The supply lines could probably be raised, or rerouted so you could maybe have a chase at the edge of the room, but the drain lines can't go up and down, they need slope to them so gravity can do its thing. Those would be harder to reroute. It's hard to tell from pictures. Some of the drains do come down further than needed, but not sure - a pro might have a better feel for this.
When a friend had a house built, he had 10' ceilings in his basement to allow for lots of bookshelves (he's a used book dealer). At the time of construction, unless this would drop you into the water table, I'd prefer much deeper basements. Yours is typical, and unless planned for originally, basements often don't make great living spaces for full-sized people!

It COULD be done, but it would be very expensive, but we cannot tell you how expensive. All of the piping would have to be revised so it ran between the joists to the side wall where they would each connect to that, or another, horizontal pipe before continuing over and down into the main connection. In the process of repiping the drains, the "first" tub, or shower, could have a vent installed which it doesn't have now.

"Didn't take much personalization, just my name at the top. Although, you could change every single line if you wanted to. I'm just not that creative, so I left it as is. Even so, the guests loved it, and I was surprised how seriously they took it. I got some really lovely and insightful responses. I'm keeping them all and putting them in a binder for my son when he is old enough to read them."

"These look just as great as they did on the computer! Took less than 2 days to receeive my order. This was the first time I have used tinyprints, and I will def be a repeat customer!"
"Love the simple design and color. I was able to add a personal touch w/ a sonogram picture of the baby on the backside. The invitees thought the invitations were cute as well. Had to reorder more and second order was discounted. Love tiny prints!"

To those who say that the Portland Symphony Orchestra strays too far from the classical repertory, Robert Moody offers two pieces of evidence to the contrary: Mozart and Beethoven.
During the next two weeks, the PSO will perform two concerts that feature some of the most revered and, dare we say, sacred music in the classical canon: Mozart's Symphony No. 39 and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
The orchestra will perform Mozart at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Merrill Auditorium on what would have been the composer's 257th birthday. At 7:30 p.m. Feb. 5, it will perform Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, which Moody calls "the most well-known symphony in the world."
The concerts are part of a busy month of performances for the PSO. On Feb. 23-24, the PSO Pops! will perform "A Night at the Movies" with guest conductor Carl Topilow, who cautions people from making the assumption that music from Hollywood is not substantial.
The program includes music from "The Wizard of Oz," "Psycho," the James Bond movies and "Pirates of the Caribbean," among others, written by the likes of John Williams, Bernard Hermann and Bill Conti.
"There is no reason this music has to be segregated into a pops program," said Topilow, whose podium presence is unique among conductors in that he also plays clarinet on stage. "This music is first-class, and can be played anytime on any program."
But first, Mozart.
Sunday's concert features Moody on the podium and concertmaster Charles Dimmick, who will be spotlighted on Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3. Also on the program is Mozart's Symphony No. 39 and Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1.
Moody is among Dimmick's biggest fans.
"Charles is one of the most elegantly beautiful players I've ever worked with," he said in an email. "This isn't to say that he can't bring the power in bigger romantic and/or 20th-century works. He can, and does. But he interprets music from the classical era so brilliantly. Folks won't want to miss his take on a Mozart concerto."
The maestro describes Mozart's Symphony No. 39 as an example of the composer at his best. His last three symphonies (Nos. 39, 40 and 41) all came near the end of his life and represent some of his most perfect writing, Moody said.
"The classical era is all about form and structure and the composer's ability to create power and beauty within that structure. For me, Symphony No. 39 of Mozart is the hallmark classical work," he said, noting that he refers to the "classical era" as lasting from about 1750 until 1825.
"Mozart, Haydn and early Beethoven are the masters of this style," Moody said. "And Mozart's sheer genius -- writing this music to pristine and nearly perfect first drafts -- seems to indicate that the music came from somewhere else. God? The cosmos? Who knows? But for sure from the mind of one of the greatest masters ever to compose."
The Feb. 5 program includes Beethoven's Fifth, Bela Bartok's "The Miraculous Madarin" suite and Chen Gang and He Zhanhao's "Butterfly Lovers" violin concerto.
Beethoven's Fifth is a landmark piece of music, beginning with what Moody calls the most-famous four-note theme in musical history. This will be Moody's fifth time conducting the Fifth. "Every time, I learn more about it."
He's just as excited about Bartok and "Butterfly Lovers." The Bartok piece is dark and powerful, telling the story of three thugs and a seductress who lure a mystical and scary Chinese man into their hotel room, planning to rob him. They eventually attempt to murder him, but he can't die. Only when the seductress actually softens her heart and offers him true love does he die in her arms.
The PSO will display text on a screen above the orchestra to help the audience follow the story. But the music should suffice. "The music that tells this story is some of the greatest music written in the 20th century," Moody said.
The "Butterfly Lovers" concert for violin and orchestra also tells a story of Chinese legend. "The Asian and Western mix of melody and harmony weave perfectly in this piece," Moody said.

Fare here doesn't diverge much from the traditional "grill" offerings: sandwiches, chili cheese fries, burgers and dogs. Special items include blue cheese fries (in an edible bowl!), pizza puffs and taco salads in large tortilla baskets.
And then there are the shakes: 54 flavors (or create your own) ranging in size from medium to "burp" (which looks to be roughly 64 ounces). Each comes topped with whip cream as thick as pudding. Try a phosphate or "green river" for a taste of the past, or eschew the same-old chocolate for a Short Cake or Grasshopper shake. Prices average $3-$7 for food, $2.45 and up for shakes.
Average cost: <$10

I´m surprised there isn´t a bigger movement on employment background checks,including drug screens.I don´t think they can stop an employer from doing a criminal b/g check,they just can´t use it as an excuse not to hire somebody.I think Obama had an executive order a couple years ago,stopping new federal employees from background checks. I mean when you look at luggage theft in the TSA,you have to believe they have a criminal past. Obama couldn´t hire a 100 new fed employees a day if they had strict b/g checks.People with shady pasts have been excluded from SS background checks to get in to see Obama. Even Limbaugh had to go through one when Bush was president.

I have to disagree with #2. By the same logic, only someone with something to hide would object to a search of their house or person.I have been thoroughly investigated for my job, but I didnt like it.Even so, with laws like this being passed, is it any wonder we dont want to give up our arms?

We stamp an obscene portion of our population with the moniker, ´convicted felon´ for non-violent crimes, and then long after they have paid their penalty continue to punish them for the rest of their lives by making it unfairly difficult to get a job - jobs for which their crimes should bear no ongoing societal risk. I agree with this law´s intent.

It is not the law´s intent I object to, it is the law´s results. The results will be fewer jobs in Newark.

Way back in the 1980s, two members of the senate crafted the Job Training Partnership Act. The two senators were - dead ted kennedy, and George H.W. Bush´s Future VP. Dan Quayle.The law, among other things, forbade evaluation of the results of the law!!! and-fashioned a tax credit for employers who hired ex cons. (the first 12000 dollars of salary were allowed to be used as a tax credit.)In Syracuse, NY, just last year, a garbage collector who was a serial homosexual pedophile, with a long conviction record for that, was arrested again, for the same reason. The person in city government who hired the man said that they didn´t do background checks on applicants.

I wonder if #5 would be fine with having a convicted child pornographer teaching his child? After all, the man served his punishment, and has promised not to do it again. How about a woman who stole thousands of dollars from a previous employer. Would #5 be fine with having her handle his money at a bank? After all, she was punished, and should not be penalized for previous misdeeds.
