Skip to comments.Some Californians set to begin 11-digit dialing

It all started with the damn ZIP Codes. Now the end is near!!
We still have speed-dialing/auto-dial.
We've been doing that in Houston for quite some time. Looks like California is behind the times. :-P
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em, Down Hezbullies.)
There's a reason for that. The dramatic growth in computer-based communication in the last 10 years (e-mail, instant messaging, teleconferencing, etc.) has rendered the fax machine nearly obsolete. This has slowed down the growth in demand for new phone numbers in most metropolitan areas.
I'm not even sure why it's such a big deal for people who don't like this 11-digit dialing anyway. So many people place phone calls these days using pre-set/memory dialing that pressing each individual digit is becoming a thing of the past, too.
I think we started doing this in Dallas back in about '98 or '99.
Wonder why they have to dial 11 digits. Here in Houston, with three area codes (713, 281, and 832), we still only have to dial 10.
I live just 22 miles from the center of Houston and all calls to Houston are long distance. Even the next town, only 5 miles away is long distance.
We've had 10-digit dialing in Orlando since 1999, when we got our second area code (321) to join the previously existing 407. I thought California was supposed to be ahead of the rest of the country in everything.
You might have three area codes, but if you don't need to dial 11 digits all the time this means that these area codes still have some kind of geographic basis. In places where area codes are "overlayed," a new area code is introduced that includes places that already have their own area code -- and the new area code is used for all new phones from that point on. So a home with two different phone numbers could theoretically have two different area codes for its phones.
I have to dial the 1 first from landlines but can do straight 10-digit dialing from a cell phone.
The opposite is also true. There are some rural parts of the country where an area code covers an enormous region, and many calls within that area code can be "long distance" if they are made to points that are far away.
Growing up in Colorado in the 70s, we only dialed 4 numbers. Many folks still had party lines.
Brrrring... "Hello? Hold on, I have to dial eleven digits."
Communication skills today are atrocious.
My relatives in the DC metro area have been doing that for a while, too. Forever between Maryland, DC, and Virginia, and for a couple years now to everyone else in the Virginia 'burbs.
Also, about ten years ago, there were several phone outages in Northern VA, where you could still call DC and MD, but not anyone else in Virginia. Then it was announced that local in-state calls would go through if one did use the area code.
Everywhere I have lived since then, anytime there are phone system problems, I try dialing the area code first with local numbers to see if I can find a circuit to get my call through thataway.
This happened around Chicago a while ago.
No one will notice. You only need update your phone directory once.
713 and 281 are geographical - at least as regards landlines - but 832 is an overlay here.
We are still only dialing 7 locally here in STL..
Does anyone still pay for long distance calls on an individual basis? Here I've got unlimited long distance.
Los Angeles was a lot bigger so since the mid 1939s our number was OLympia 8388 and it was later changed to NOrmandy 48388 and when they instituted area codes they made it 213-664-8388.
Actually, we're up to three hours behind.
The flip side on this is the cell phone explosion... It not really land lines numbers but cell numbers that are eating up area codes... we would have been better off to have cell and land lines have different not intermixed areacodes/prefix like some other country do
So let say you have 310 as an area code... 310 would only be given to land lines ... but if you have a cell in the same area you would has a 3 digit cell network "area code" prefix that would only be for cell phones
The whole idea behind area codes is for a hierarchal routing system or "address" for the call
Just think, if computers could have been programmed to just add one more digit at the end of all numbers, there would be no need to dial 11 digits.
LOL, those old "word" prefixes. We had POplar and DIamond.
Same growing up in Western NC - we had one long ring - two short rings was the other side of the party line. Back when dirt was new... *g
If Mayberry gets another area code, does that mean that the phone company has to hire someone to help Sara?
11? Most of Texas is 10 digit dialing. Where is the extra digit?
at least in that era I knew exactly where anyone was by what their prefix was anywhere in L.A. or Orange County.
What really started to make thing dificult is when they started switching from manual relays to digital relays that took up about 10% of the space and numbers could be changed, hooked up, or disconnected with a simple computer entry.
They took entire areas, shut down the entire system for switch over and you got new numbers from a switching facility that had been converted already.
After they did that you couldn't keep track of where the numbers were.
It was about the same time that they broke up ATT and Pac Bell because we worked on every telephone company building ib L.A. putting in deviding walls so ATT employees couldn't get to Pac Bell employees, what a joke!
My question exactly. Where is the 11th digit coming from?
"How long ago was that switch to 7 in LA?"
It was in the late 1940s as I remember.
In Texas it's 10 digit dialing.
True, but I hear about more and more people who are now using their cell phones as their ONLY phone -- and simply doing away with the land line altogether.
You need to spend some time in some competent telecom books. Pay attention to the development of the switching network and dialing plans. The choice of 7 digit number was made because that's the ideal number for humans to remember. Early in the life of the network, the second digit of the 3 digit prefix disallowed the use of digits 0 and 1. That is how the area codes were discerned. The needs for additional numbers and the advent of electronic switching allowed the use of 0 or 1 in the second digit. That expanded the available phone numbers in an area code, but required dialing a country code first. The country code for the United States is conveniently "1".
Area code splits are a hell of a lot of work. I've worked a bunch of them during the years at PacBell. Doing an overlay is comparatively simple.
I remember when they did it in Los Angeles from 6 to 7 digits to increase the numbers.
You're old enough to remember that point in time. The original switching machines were designed for numbers in the range of 0000->9999. The digits above that were used to select the outgoing trunks to another switching office. The "magic" 3 digit area code with 1 or 0 as the second digit did the long distance mapping from area code to area code. The next 3 digits did the end office selection. The last 4 digits mapped to a customer line.
That sounds like such a good idea, but if you have more than 2 people living in a house, and the main two are gone, with their cells, the others are left w/o a phone.
Area codes were instituted way back when rotary phones were "state-of-the-art," so they were assigned in a way that allowed the largest number of users to take the least amount of time to dial the numbers. All area codes back then had a 1 or 0 as the middle digit. The largest cities were assigned area codes with a 1 in the middle and with low numbers as the first and third digits -- since these would dial the fastest on a rotary phone (it took several moments to dial a 9 or a 0 back then, when you had to wait for the dial to rotate all the way back into place before dialing the next number).
This is how New York City ended up with an area code of 212 -- the area code that dialed faster than any other on the old rotary phones. Los Angeles (213) and Chicago (312) were next in line in terms of "dial speed" followed by Detroit (313), Dallas (214), Pittsburgh (412), St. Louis (314), etc. Notice how the original area codes for many of the large cities in the country all had a "1" in the middle -- including Philadelphia (215), Cleveland (216), Indianapolis (317), Milwaukee (414), San Francisco (415), Toronto, Ontario (416), etc.
Conversely, most area codes with a 0 in the middle and high numbers for the first and third digits were very rural (or had very limited phone service) at the time these area codes were put in place. The most cumbersome area code to dial was the one for the "Inland Empire" of California (909), followed by others like central New Jersey (908), the Dominican Republic (809), Hawaii (808), Alaska (907), Newfoundland (709), western Ontario (807), and the area that is now Chicago's southern suburbs (708).
People are very aware of the 310 area code, said Darren Lewis, a manager in the music industry who works in Santa Monica. It has a cachet.
LOL! Somehow, Mr. Lewis, I think you'll live through this.
Now, if Lewis adds another phone line to his office, it will start with 424, which he expects will confuse the many people he deals with on the East Coast.
People are going to wonder where you are, he said.
Eventually they'll figure it out. Buck up, cowboy! It ain't the end of the world.
I think Ca-li-for-nee-uh has 41 area codes now, 7 in the SF bay area alone.
11? Most of Texas is 10 digit dialing. Where is the extra digit?
I formerly worked in the yellow pages industry. If I understand it correctly, in California, they dial 1 before the number, even if it is a local call. They have not had 10 digit dialing up until now.
Someone mentioned 713 & 281 in Houston as being a geographical split. When Houston and Dallas got new area codes in the mid 90's, there was originally a geographic split. Houston inside of Beltway 8 kept 713, while outlying areas got the new 281. Same in Dallas, where everything inside of LBJ Freeway kept 214, and the outlying areas got 972. After a few years, in an attempt to preserve phone numbers, those imaginary boundaries were removed, and 713/281 and 214/972 were overlaid on top of each other. In addition, 832 was overlaid on top of 713/281, and 469 was overlaid on top of 214/972.
In Houston, it is possible to have a 713 number for your landline, a 281 number for your fax line, and an 832 number for your cell phone. Same in Dallas with 214/972/469.
" The choice of 7 digit number was made because that's the ideal number for humans to remember."
Those people shouldn't have telephones.
I probably know 20 phone #s that I use, my SS#, bank account #s, etc. and never write any of them down.

I believe you can use LIKE...
SELECT username FROM users WHERE username LIKE 'John'
If your database collation is set to case insensitive you can simply use
WHERE username = 'John'
You can also override the set collation on a field for each comparison. So, for example, if you have a field using the case-sensitive
latin1_general_cs collation, but want to compare the fields in a case-insensitive manner, you could do:
SELECT stuff FROM theTable
WHERE textField COLLATE latin1_general_ci = 'John'
Note the end of the collate name. If it's "ci" then it's Case-Insensitive. If it's "cs" then it's Case-Sensitive.
I think you can choose
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$userid'");
if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
echo "User exist";
thanks, very much! I also tested with like that:
$query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE 1st_name='$name'");
Why would you select ALL the data in the row if you're not going to use any of it? It's just a waste of resources, really. MySQL can COUNT() the rows for you and just return that.
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users WHERE username='$userid'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error(mysql_error(), E_USER_ERROR);
$row = mysql_fetch_row($sql);
if ($row[0] > 0) {
echo "User exist!";
ok. And how to get data from mysql database? In database I want to write many words in one row with commas, like an array. And then I want to fetch it like an array and check if my variable is already exists inside this array. How can I do it?
Depends on the data. In generally you don't save multiple values in a single field. If you have a list of values you need to save, you put them in a separate table, one item per row.
For example, if you had a list of items and a list of "tags" for each item, you would set that up somewhat like this:
+---------+ +------------------+
| items | | item_tags |
+---------+ +------------------+
| id (PK) |>--->| item_id (PK, FK) |
| name | | tag (PK) |
+---------+ +------------------+
item_tags table would store the tags for each item, and link each tag to it's item via the
item_id Foreign Key field. Here is an example of what the data would look like:
> SELECT * FROM items;
| id | name |
| 1 | Item 1 |
| 2 | Item 2 |
> SELECT * FROM item_tags;
| item_id | tag |
| 1 | tag1 |
| 1 | tag2 |
| 2 | tag1 |
| 2 | tag3 |
There are many ways in which you can fetch the tags for each item, depending on how you are using it in your code, but if you wanted to return each item with a comma separated list of tags, MySQL's GROUP_CONCAT function can be used. Like:
> SELECT i.id, i.name, GROUP_CONCAT(t.tag) AS tags
FROM items AS i
JOIN item_tags as t
ON i.id = t.item_id
GROUP BY i.id;
| id | name | tags |
| 1 | Item 1 | tag1,tag2 |
| 2 | Item 2 | tag1,tag3 |
tags field in that result set could then be exploded in PHP to get them as arrays. Of course, this is not the most efficient way to fetch tags for a single item, but it can be useful if you don't overuse it. (String manipulation is relatively expensive.)

Harissa (hah-REE-suh)
What it means
Harissa is sometimes likened to ketchup, a comparison that makes sense to Westerners: The chile paste is brick red and sold by the bottle (in its native North Africa, it also comes in jars, cans, tubes and plastic bags.) But harissa is used so broadly by its fans that it functions more like salt than a mere condiment.
In Tunisia, Libya and Algeria, harissa is stirred into soups, spread on breakfast rolls, strewn over sandwiches and slapped atop pizza. It's served in fast-food restaurants and at elegant dinners.
"The heady potent paste can be used for flavoring meat and fish, finishing stews, mixing with grilled vegetables - go with it wherever your culinary imagination takes you," Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi write in "Ottolenghi: The Cookbook."
Recipes for harissa vary, but the central elements are dried chiles, garlic, olive oil and spices: cumin, caraway and coriander are popular additions. Depending on the peppers, the complex sauce can be fruity, smoky, earthy or sweet, but harissa should register first as spicy. According to Tunisian folklore, a husband can measure the strength of his wife's love for him by the spiciness of her harissa.
Where we saw it
Muse (Merguez sausage with red peppers, fennel, radish, tzatziki, harissa and flatbread, $12)
Where else you can try it
Butcher & Bee is the Charleston restaurant most fluent in harissa; the paste is a standard component of its sabich, an Israeli fried eggplant sandwich. Harissa has appeared at The Grocery, Fast & French and Heart Kitchen.
Where to buy it
Southern Season sells canned harissa, and it's also usually on the shelf at Whole Foods.
"There are some great brands on the market, especially Pereg Gourmet," cookbook author Joan Nathan told The Washington Post.

According to him, you should always be facing east when doing any kind of meditation/neigong exercise. South is acceptable too, but north and west should be avoided. Don't ask
Quote:It is an ancient Chinese belief that evil or evil forces are found or originate from the north

Quote:I always face north or south to take advantage of the earth's north/south flow of magnetic forces.

In your home or professional studio, your rackmounted equipment is often some of the most important and expensive gear you own. That's why having the best cases possible for storage and transportation is an absolute must. Thankfully, for the best rackmount cases you've come to the right place.
As you start to browse, the first thing you'll probably notice are all the best-sellers and top rated items to choose from. That's because this catalog features top brands like Gator, Middle Atlantic, Odyssey, SKB, Eurolite and more, so no matter what you pick out you know it will live up to what it promises. Each one has something different to offer, so it's definitely worth your time to check out as many options as possible. To make this easier though, narrow things down by your personal needs and go from there.
If you travel a lot, and want to protect your sensitive equipment from the regular bumps and bounces of air or road transportation, check out something like the Musician's Gear Rack Flight Case 8 Space. Professionally crafted, these ruggedly built cases features heavy-duty metal handles, reinforced corners, a welded frame, as well as mounting hardware for effortless stacking.
For something more lightweight though, turn your attention over to the Gator GRB Rack Bag 4 Space. Constructed with portability in mind, but still offering maximum protection with close grained plywood cabinets covered in padded 600-denier nylon, it also features zip-out flaps, a threaded rail, and large outside pockets. Finished with strategically designed feet that allows the bag to stand up, you'll always have a secure and safe place to store your gear.
You never settle when it comes to the quality of your equipment, so you shouldn't settle when it comes to protecting it. With the rackmount cases in this section you'll be able to do just that, keeping your setup in top working shape for years to come.

Woman: So, you're alone?
Man: Yeah, I'm alone. Alone.. and Miserable.
Woman: No kidding. You Look like you could use some company.
Man: Anyway!
Both: -Laugh-
Woman: Talk to me. Tell me all about it.
Man: Nah, I don't want to bore you with my problems.
Woman: O, come now. Don't be like that...
Full Verse, No Hook~
"Tell me what's wrong"... that's what she said/ I told her nothing's wrong. That it's all in my head/ I gotta get away for a little bit, away from da little shit coming out da mouths of big pricks/ whose words like to stick to the bottom of your shoe like gum/ Hateful people like to talk dumb/ After effects include making your mind numb, making your heart cold/ -"You ready to get some?"/ She interrupted. My heart straight erupted/ "That's kinda spontaneous, you're really something"/ I replied. At dat time, the time was half past nine/ Last time I checked, it was ten till five/ "All I'm trying to do is keep you alive, with some fire to inspire your mind"/ Consider me lit. You're an awfully kind chic/ But, I think I wrote a check that I cannot cash yet/ I bet if I wait around a little bit/ I might pick my life off da ground with a with a wife and a little kid/ Save that for later, hold on to little dreams/ they may fade on ya, life's not what it seems/ Honestly, to go this far, while without a car/ I'm riding on a shooting star/ and the only thing I pray is that my light don't go out/ "until the lights go out, which right about~/ now." Wow, such an assertive girl/ Healing wounds, talking smooth. A blessing underserved in this world/ Coming hard with soft kisses, on target, no misses/ She will be a 'Mrs.', if she keep this up/ After that, I wake up. Smiling face next to mine/ Sweet moment etched in time/ Cleansing our minds from our daily lives/ Kindness from body is hard to find/ Especially on a two-way street/ I'm glad we met and I hope we meet again/ one day "or one night. Whenever the mood feels right/ You know what I'm saying?" Haa~ yeah...
(Song End)
Hope the rhythm wasn't too hard to catch. Fat Jon is right up there with Nujabes as one my fave artist for all time. I hope to get these works out to him and other talents (vocalist, lol) one day.

text: I assume that using '\n' to print a newline is not portable because in some systems newline consists actually of two characters and '\n' is only one. Thus the only portable way of printing a newline character (for example with std:rintf) is "\n". What does the standard say about '\n'? Can any assumptions be made about it? Or is it a "never use it in portable code" value? Of course this might present a problem when reading an input file in a byte-by-byte fashion. If you want to detect a newline while reading it like that, can you simply compare a read byte with '\n'? What if a newline actually consists of more than one character? The std::getline() function accepts a delimiter character as third parameter (the input is read until this character appears). Since the type of this parameter is char, doesn't this actually present a problem if you want to give it a newline as delimiter? (I know that newline is the default delimiter, but in theory it might be possible that you might want to be able to specify it explicitly...) If you repeatedly call std::getline(is, str, '\n') in a system where newlines actually consist of more than one character, aren't the additional characters read into the string (even though they really shouldn't) instead of skipped? There doesn't seem to be a version of std::getline() taking a string as delimiter parameter, so you can't give it a "\n".

Pushkin enjoys a world-wide reputation as the most famous Russian poet, but he was also a leading figure in dramatic writing and in the development of Russian prose – to say nothing of his "verse novel", Evgenii Onegin [Eugene Onegin, 1833]. In the category of fiction, he is known for his historical novel Kapitanskaia dochka [The Captain's Daughter, 1836] and his story cycle Povesti Belkina [The Tales of Belkin, 1831]. However, his best, and most influential, work in the prose fiction mode is, by general consent and acclamation, his tale Pikovaia dama [The Queen of Spades, 1…

Throughout their 69-year marriage, Gene and Pat Warrington were always with one another.
Dec. 27, the pair died eight hours apart, both while in hospice care in Findlay.
Phil Warrington, the son of Gene and Pat, said his parents had been in hospice with health issues, and the day before their deaths, they spent time together in Pat's room.
Article Photos
"We were able to get them together for about 45 minutes and he held her hand," Warrington said.
Knowing his wife's condition had become critical, Gene returned to his room and the next day began pulling out his intravenous tubes and was "out of it," Warrington said.
"He said it wouldn't be fun without her," Warrington said.
Warrington said his father died and his mother died eight hours after him.
"You could have almost predicted it," he said. "They did everything in their life together. They were never apart."
Warrington said the pair met in junior high shool and secretly wed when Pat was 16 and Gene was 18.
Warrington said the wedding took place while Gene was home from boot camp and before he left for World War II. Warrington said the wedding was kept secret so Pat could graduate high school.
After Gene returned from war, he graduated from high school in 1947, a year after Pat's graduation.
"He told me that when he came back from war, he knew he never wanted to be away from her again," Warrington said.
Gene and Pat had three children, Warrington said, and after retirement, they enjoyed spending time in Florida and had two farms in Hancock County. Warrington said they loved spending time with their seven grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
"They did everything together," Warrington said. "They had been feeding on each other all along."

The Assembly approved the bill Wednesday on a 42-33 vote, sending it to the state Senate, which is expected to endorse it. Assembly lawmakers were seen as the stumbling block to advancing the bill.
The legislation would allow doctors to prescribe life-ending medication. It comes after the highly publicized case of 29-year-old Brittany Maynard, a California woman with brain cancer who moved to Oregon to legally take her life.
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown, a lifelong Catholic, has not said whether he will sign the bill. He previously indicated he did not think it should have been considered during a special legislative session on health care.

Another beloved TV show is close to the chopping block. And yet again, its loyal fans are attempting to stave off the execution.
With the writers strike over, a number of shows are in limbo as network executives plot their new schedules. Most notably, the fate of "Friday Night Lights" hangs in the balance.
The hourlong drama, based on the 1990 book by H.G. Bissinger, focuses on a high school football team in Dillon, Texas. It's a deftly written (and elegantly scored) series about a small town in which football is both a blessing and a curse.
For its first season, the Writers Guild Awards nominated it for best drama series. A critic for The New York Times has gushed: "I love 'Friday Night Lights.'"
Some reports have suggested NBC wants to bring back "Friday Night Lights," which was in the midst of its second season when the strike halted production. Variety has reported a decision from the network likely will not be made for several months.
With such a window, it's clear: Blog now or forever hold your peace.
To that end, www.Save FridayNightLights.tv has been created. The site's goal: inundate NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman with letters, online petitions, even plastic footballs.
"FNL" hasn't had it easy. Some viewers were initially confused about the series. The book had been adapted into a 2004 movie by the same name, and when it hit the tube, it was oddly scheduled not on its namesake day, but Wednesday. Being up against "American Idol" didn't help, either.

Caution urged at swimming holesJune 13,2013
With high water levels from recent rains, Vermont officials are again warning about dangerous conditions in rivers, streams and swimming holes.
Officials say swimming holes will have high water flows and dangerous currents and should be avoided or closely monitored.
If venturing out in a kayak or canoe, paddlers are advised to stay off the water if it looks threatening or questionable.
The rivers also have carried debris, such as large branches and trees into Lake Champlain, which can be dangerous to both boaters and swimmers.
Officials said Wednesday that the level of Lake Champlain is expected to rise to more 99 feet this weekend, which could affect docks and the clearance of boats under bridges.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The League of Women Voters of Vermont will be taking part in National Voter...

I was extremely impressed by the $9000/pair BV 3005 Torre, which feature BV's "Roundstrem Technology" that focuses the up-firing and down-firing drivers in the upper and lower cabinets into a 360° soundfield. In a huge convention hallway, the 3005 Torres actually managed to sing. I'd love to hear them under more favorable circumstances.

Heather Lyons had more than enough on her plate before being diagnosed with breast cancer in early March.
A full-time job at Windsor High School teaching significant support needs in the special education department during the day, and a mother of four children — Austin, 12; twin 10-year-old boys Aidan and Ajay; and daughter Amy, 4 — 24/7, Lyons and her husband Marc didn't have time for much else.
Enter Lyons' cancer diagnosis, which was in stage 1, and the fact that she only took three weeks off from school following a double mastectomy April 2, Lyons, 39, wasn't about to let cancer stand in her way.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month falls every October and the Windsor High School volleyball team is doing its part by raising money to help Lyons pay for future medical treatments.
The volleyball team raises money for breast cancer awareness every year for the local group Breast Friends or for someone in the community, and has been doing so since the Colorado High School Activities Association started its Dig Pink month several years ago.
"I think it's nice for the girls to be involved in a community service," head volleyball coach LaVerne Huston said. "Anytime there is someone from the community or someone well connected to Windsor High School, we always look at possibly sending funds their way, and this year it was Heather Lyons."
The volleyball program has raised anywhere from $300 to $1,600 each year.
"All money that is earned will go to Heather Lyons," Huston said.
Lyons' teaching colleague Kristin Ervin, who is an assistant volleyball coach for the Wizards, said there is really no way to prepare for something like this.
"That's when we as a community need to come together and help support one another," Ervin said. "Windsor's known for that."
Ervin said Lyons has been amazing since her diagnosis.
"She didn't skip a beat through all of this, and has never been one to dwell on herself," Ervin said. "I thought she was incredibly strong through the whole thing. To balance what she went through as far as medically, and her children are young. I can't even imagine. And still have to go through all the treatments right now with a family, and still coming to work in a very taxing and giving environment. It's not like she can sit back and relax when she's at school. There's no way she can do that. See's a very special lady. She doesn't feel sorry for herself. She's a strong woman."
Lyons admits that it's been a crazy six months.
"Finding it and having it was a big shock, because we don't have any family history. I am really tired in the evenings, no doubt about it," Lyons said. "I fall asleep in my chair around 8 o'clock every night, and that's about the time I put my kids down. I don't sit idle very well. I love my job, and I work with really great people. I've had a great support system, which has helped keep everything going."
Lyons didn't have to undergo chemotherapy or radiation treatments with the type of breast cancer she was diagnosed with, but she has to take drug treatments for five years to keep the cancer from developing again in her body. Lyons is scheduled to have a hysterectomy in December, and looks forward to the doctor telling her she's cancer free in five years.
"They feel like after five years that you should be free and clear," said Lyons, who has taught at the high school for six years. "I'm not considered a survivor until the end of the five years when I'm done with all the treatments, but I do not have any cancer in my system currently."

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
The Hush Sound's Bob Morris on what he's listening to
Bob Morris (left) of the Hush Sound is currently listening to Brian Eno's "Ambient 1: Music for Airports." Photo by Craig Seymour.
Is it a coincidence that Chicago-area pop punk band Fall Out Boy, and the Hush Sound, a Chicago-based pop band signed to Boy bassist Pete Wentz's label imprint, reformed at about the same time?
We've already heard the result of Fall Out Boy's reunion, the slick "Save Rock and Roll." (The band's tour kicked off at Eagles Ballroom earlier this month.) The Hush Sound have yet to release a new album, but one's coming - and its likely new songs will be shared at its co-headlining show with Hockey at the Rave Saturday. »Read Full Blog Post
Eli Young Band's James Young on what he's listening to
James Young (furthest left), guitarist for Texas-based country act Eli Young Band, is using Muse's "The 2nd Law" as his new "workout record." Eli Young Band, along with Kacey Musgraves and Eric Church, will open for Kenny Chesney at Miller Park Saturday. Photo provided.
When I asked Eli Young Band guitarist James Young what he was listening to during a recent interview, I figured he'd talk about the Band Perry or Florida Georgia Line or some other hot country act.
Instead, he talked about Muse's latest album "The 2nd Law."
You can find out why its his latest workout record below. And you can see Young and the rest of the band open up for Kenny Chesney at Miller Park Saturday.
We've got a whole lot of Chesney coverage on Tap Milwaukee - including a fun and challenging Chesney quiz, need-to-know info for Saturday's show, a look back at his successful career, a photo gallery of Chesney over the years and an interview with another opener Saturday, promising up-and-coming singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves.
Who: James Young from the Eli Young Band
What he's listening to: Muse's latest album "The 2nd Law"
Why he likes it: It's my new workout record. I love how hard it is but also how soft at times. They use choir and a horn section. (Single) "Panic Station" taps into classic Queen with a bit of Peter Gabriel but more of an edge. It's very hopeful, but its music that doesn't take itself too seriously. »Read Full Blog Post
Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump on what he listens to

Given the glossy pop nature of "Save Rock and Roll," the new Billboard-chart-topping comeback album from Fall Out Boy, its not surprising to hear that frontman Patrick Stump has been into dance music lately. »Read Full Blog Post
Butch Vig tells Tap what he's listening to
Wisconsin native Butch Vig (sitting on couch) returns to Milwaukee with Madison-formed alternative rock band Garbage. Saturday's show at the Eagles Ballroom will be the band's first in Milwaukee in nearly eight years. Photo provided.
A note to Matthew Houck, better known by his stage name Phosphorescent: if you have any interest in working with a well-known, Grammy-winning producer, we have a strong feeling that Butch Vig would be very interested in collaborating with you. »Read Full Blog Post

My Story
Welcome to Makin' It Mama and thank you for stopping by!
Makin' It Mama was started in 2011 when my husband and I welcomed our son into our home. When the cold Minnesota weather came I realized he didn't have a hat, so I crocheted him a little brown bear hat. Soon after, my nephew and niece asked for their own animal hats, and with my families encouragement I decided to start selling baby and children hats.
Crafting has always been a part of my life. My Mama taught my sisters and I at a young age how to sew and my aunt taught me how to crochet when I was in 4th grade. I wouldn't be where I am today without them! Being able to use both techniques in my business allows me to let my creative juices flow, the possibilities are endless!

During Monday's Power Rankings video chat, Eric Karabell mentioned that this would be an important week for the Pirates as they entered the week at 12-19 with two big series at home against the Giants and Cardinals. That's a tough week and it's followed by a road trip to Milwaukee and New York to face the Yankees and then six home games against the Orioles and Nationals.
This stretch got off to brutal start on Monday with an 11-10 loss to the Giants in a game that ended at 12:36 a.m. local time, featured ducks on the field, two pitchers pinch-hitting, two replay challenges and an umpire getting hit by a throw. The Pirates had an 8-2 lead after five innings. The Giants scored five in the sixth as Jeff Locke and Bryan Morris couldn't stop the damage. The Giants tied it the seventh but the Pirates re-took the lead, only to see the Giants tie it again with a run off Mark Melancon in the ninth. At that point, it seemed inevitable that the Giants would eventually pull it out and they did, scoring in the 13th when the Giants, out of position players, had to let reliever Jean Machi bat with two on and one out. Jared Hughes threw away Machi's bunt for an error and Hunter Pence scored from second. The Giants' rally that inning: Walk, hit by pitch, throwing error. Ouch.
Needless to say, it's not surprising that the Pirates didn't blow any six-run leads last year. Here's a stat that shows how well the Pirates played when they grabbed an early lead in 2013: They were 64-9 when leading entering the sixth inning; this year, they're just 6-6. Pirates starters are last in the majors in FanGraphs' WAR. The magic and good karma of 2013 is quickly fading and they're already 9.5 games behind the Brewers. It's going to be a tough climb back.
Other thoughts on Monday's wild night of action:
Machi has become the Giants' secret weapon or good-luck charm. He's now 5-0 with a 0.53 ERA, part of a Giants' bullpen that is second in the majors with a 1.88 ERA and has held opponents to a .198 average. Due to some struggles in the rotation, Giants' relievers are averaging 3.4 innings per game, fourth-highest in the majors, so that's something to watch. Machi is a great story, a 32-year-old Venezuelan first signed by the Phillies in 2000. He didn't reach the majors until 2012, after spending time in the minors with the Phillies, Rays, Blue Jays and Pirates. He's a bad-body guy who primarily throws a fastball/splitter combo. He didn't really refine his control until last season, which began in Triple-A, but he's walked just 15 and allowed two home runs in 70 innings with the Giants in 2013-2014. And his bunt last night? It was first as a professional, as he was batting for the just the fourth time in his professional career.
The Rockies continue to roll at home, where Troy Tulowitzki is unstoppable. They beat the Rangers 8-2 as Jordan Lyles improved to 4-0 with a 2.62 ERA, pitching eight strong innings. The Rockies had just three starts at home all last season where the starter went at least eight innings and allowed two runs or fewer (all by Jhoulys Chacin). As for Tulo, he hit two home runs and is now hitting .596 at home and a 1941 Ted Williams-like .408/.512/.786 overall. Nolan Arenado extended his hit streak to 25 games so that's starting to get interesting. I like what I'm seeing from this club. Sure, some of the offense is Coors infused -- they're hitting .344 at home, .254 on the road -- but they're also outslugging opponents .587 to .423 at Coors. They're going to hang around if Tulowitzki stays healthy. Mark Simon has more on the Rockies.
Another team that may hang around: The Miami Marlins, owners of another walk-off victory, 4-3 over the Mets after scoring three in the eighth and once in the ninth. Nathan Eovaldi had another good start and he's developing into a solid No. 2 behind Jose Fernandez. After giving up two first-inning home runs, he settled down and went seven innings, allowing three runs and striking out 10. He was a guy I pinpointed before the season as somebody who could take a big leap forward due to his big fastball. He's walked just six batters in 45 innings and after having a poor 78/40 strikeout/walk ratio last year is at 45/6 in 2014. Neil Paine of FiveThirtyEight wrote about the Marlins yesterday.
Oh, Max Scherzer is still good. He's won four starts in a row and hasn't allowed a run his past two. OK, Monday's game was against the Astros but the three previous came against the White Sox (twice) and Angels, two of the best-hitting teams so far. He won the Cy Young last year and he's looking like the leading candidate in the AL once again.

Technique and condition
Turner applied his oil paint to a commercially primed canvas. The priming contains lead white and chalk and is pale pink/mushroom in tone. Preliminary layers are painted in thin glazes and scumbles. Over these an opaque white paint, sometimes mixed with other colours has been applied with a palette knife and brush. There are many small, sometimes sharp impasted areas. Preliminary pencil drawing is visible, particularly in the area of the cottage suggesting that this painting may well be at an early stage of Turner's creative process. The grid-like dirt impressions visible on its surface are evidence that the artist stacked his unfinished paintings while they were still wet. The shapes are the impressions of other canvases. It is interesting to speculated whether or not he intended to return to the painting and work it to a higher level of finish at some later stage.
The right hand edge of this painting was severely damaged in the Thames Flood of 1928. As a result the canvas had been lined and the losses filled and retouched. Although the painting is now structurally stable discolouration of the retouching is aesthetically disfiguring.
It is possible that the painting is lighter in appearance than the artist intended, as a result of the fading of light sensitive pigments. The paint medium has a tendency to darken and lighten depending upon the amount of light it is exposed to.

This hotel room was not up to the expectations I have when I pay the amount I had to pay.
The table lamp had a light bulb burned out.
The nightstand light did not even have a bulb in it.
The television remote did not work.
There is no ice machine on the property.
If you want to use the pool you have to go next door to the Holiday Inn.
The desk clerk I informed of the problems at check out seemed not to care. Poor customer service.

You probably have the wrong version of the trainer. The version of the trainer you need is the retail trainer that was released on the 27th of May. I hope this helps you.

I Spy...a Market for Kids
New Toys Act Like Surveillance Gear; Today's 'Technology Natives' Channel Their Inner Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew
Everyone with a bratty brother should be glad this new remote-controlled toy car wasn't around when they were growing up.
The Spy Video Trakr, which debuts later this week, includes a night-vision video camera, speakers and route-mapping feature. The fruit of a big push by toy makers to appeal to kids who are spending more time on the Internet, it lets kids go online to program the car to do new tricks.
"A kid can program the Trakr to snap a picture of his sister talking on the phone when she is supposed to be doing homework, then drive the car to his parents and rat her out with a pre-recorded message," says Daniel Grossman, chief executive of the car's maker, Wild Planet Entertainment Inc. In focus groups, kids came up with their own plans for the car. "Drive it under my sister's bed and yell boo when she walks in the room," one boy suggested.
For all its novelty, the car—geared for boys eight-years-old and up—taps into some of the most traditional of children's play: spying. Spy toys have been perennial best sellers for years, and children spies have populated children's literature and movies from "Harriet the Spy" in 1964 to the "Spy Kids" movie franchise to the Disney Channel's "Kim Possible."
Spy toys became popular during the Cold War with the advent of James Bond movies and TV shows like "Man from U.N.C.L.E." Spy play took the place of cowboys and Indians. It encompasses good guy vs. bad guy role-playing with children's natural affinity to "sneak around" and "obtain knowledge they don't have," says Chris Byrne, a longtime independent toy analyst and researcher.
In the past, toys like disappearing ink and scopes that could see around corners were popular. More recently, Jakks Pacific Inc. had a big hit with its EyeClops Infrared Night Vision Stealth Binoculars. Using real night-vision technology, the binoculars allow kids to see up to 50 feet in darkness and sell for $59.
Even as play habits remain the same, children—referred to by toy industry executives as "technology natives"—expect technology and graphics to be ever-new and increasingly sophisticated. And toy makers from Crayola LLC to manufacturers of action figures are trying to tie their toys to the Web.
Earlier Spy Kids
'Spy Kids 2'
The 2002 installment in the movies about a brother-sister spy team.
'Harriet The Spy'
The 1964 Louise Fitzhugh classic has inspired generations of young busy-bodies and writers.
"Hardy Boys Mysteries'
A late 1970s TV series based on the books, starring Shaun Cassidy, left, and Parker Stevenson.
Nancy Drew
The amateur sleuth investigates cases for her lawyer dad.
'Kim Possible"
On the Disney Channel, a cheerleader and her boyfriend are also agents.
While toy sales held relatively steady last year—and sales of action figures and board games even rose—Web-connected toys have been much more volatile. Their sales fell 42% to $522 million in 2009 from the year earlier, according to NPD, a market research company.
Pricier toys such as Legos and Wild Planet's earlier remote-controlled cars sold well. The Spy Trakr, which will retail for $120, might be a tougher sell.
Wild Planet says the Trakr goes a step further than other Web-tied toys. It sends children online to create application and then brings them back to the toy, instead of just leaving them playing related games online.
Crayola is introducing a new feature with its larger boxes of crayons that lets children upload photos to a Web site that they can then turn into characters featured in suggested story lines—from pirates to princesses—that they write themselves. They can print the storybook out and color it.
Robonica Ltd., a South Africa-based toy robot company, recently debuted Roboni-i, a remote-controlled two-wheeled robot that has a Web site and comes with software that enables users to rewrite the robot's basic's instructions.
Toys can be a tougher sell than Internet game sites, such as Disney's Club Penguin and the soon-to-be launched Dreamworks site Kung Fu Panda World. Such sites let kids play games alone or together in cyberspace. They're accessed via subscription and are expected to generate more than $1.6 billion in revenue next year.
Wild Planet, a closely held company in San Francisco, plans to unveil the Spy Video Trakr at the International Toy Fair. The New York trade show, which starts Sunday, features the new toys for the 2010 holiday season and is a chance for retailers to scout trends. The Spy Video Trakr will hit stores this fall.
Lisa Harnisch, divisional merchandise manager at Toys 'R' Us, says Spy Video Trakr takes the experience to a new level. "It's pretty innovative in the way it allows kids to use the Web to customize their spy missions," Ms. Harnisch says, adding that she and her team provided input to Wild Planet as it developed the new toy.
Other applications are available for download from a Web site via a USB port; a child can download a night-vision feature onto the remote's LCD color screen to see the car as it maneuvers in the dark. In addition, tech-savvy kids can access instructions to create their own apps that they can post on a Web site and share with other kids. Wild Planet had planned to introduce a similar toy last year, but was worried it was too pricey to debut in the depths of the recession. "We feel more confident about the economy this year," Mr. Grossman says.

Un-Fried French Fries
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 45 mins
These look almost as good as they taste. But they are NOT McDonald's fries. At half a gram of fat per serving (versus 16 grams for the same amount of the fried variety) you can munch away guiltlessly. These can become addicting, there was a period where I made these several times a week. From In the Kitchen With Rosie by Rosie Daley
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 large baking potatoes
- light vegetable oil cooking spray
- 2 large egg whites
- 14.79 ml cajun spices
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice each potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch ovals, then slice each ovallengthwise into matchsticks (i use a mandoline which makes this go much quicker).
- Coat a baking sheet with 3 sprays of the vegetable oil.
- Combine the egg whites and cajun spice in a bowl.
- Add the matchstick potatoes and mix to coat.
- Pour the coated potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer, leaving a little space between them.
- Place the baking sheet on the bottom shelf of the oven.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the fries are crispy, turning them every 6 to 8 minutes with a spatula so that they brown evenly.
- Serve immediately.

Really good for a low fat fry! Crunchy too, which can be hard to achieve without oil. The egg white must be the magic ingredient! I'll be making these again, thanks.
Kim, good "fries" great taste and low fat! I did make mine a little thicker so they did take about an hour and 15 minutes and then turned about every 10 minutes (pain), BUT they were well worth it! BF liked the spice! TY
I LOVE these fries, and I feel they are even BETTER than McDonald's. I used to large baking potatoes, didn't peel and cute with a fry slicer (didn't take them down to matchsticks) then soaked in cold water for about 1 hour, rinsed, dried and followed directions as listed. They turned out crispy on the outside and soft inside. Even my VERY picky DGD (2yrs) loved them and kept asking for more. So easy to make and not to bad for you either - we really enjoyed this and will be making it often. Thanks Kimke for sharing a great recipe.
