This is the most absurd complaint I've ever heard. A church service, however exuberant, is in no way comparable to a night-long Independence Day fireworks celebration. To make that claim illustrates the lengths to which some folks will go just to have something about which they can complain.
I would wager that these same complainers are some of those sour-faced old folks who lament bygone days when people took responsibility for their actions. And yet, they contribute to the problem by vociferously and shamelessly griping to all within earshot whenever the slightest discomfort arises.
How pathetic must one's life be to try to ruin the excitement of others.

When Good Decorators Go Bad...
About a week ago my highly anticipated Ballard's catalog arrived... it always brings a big smile to my face when I see it in the mailbox. It's like when you're a kid at Christmas and your mom gets that big fat JC Penney's catalog that is so thick and heavy you can barely lift it- then you go through the millions of pages of toys circling every picture of the toys you want Santa to bring you. That's how getting my Ballard's catalog makes me feel, except I wish there was really a Santa to bring me everything I circled. Sigh...
Anywho, this catalog was featuring some design work by Suzanne Kasler. I've seen her stuff in Ballards before, always very soft and romantic with muted tones... usually very pretty stuff . I excitedly opened my catalog ready to be inspired and found this...
Photo courtesy of Ballard Designs
Ok, very muted tones of creams with natural wood, nice.. pretty cream vase collection... wait a minute.
What are those things all over the wall??
Wait, are those what I think they are?!? Antlers spray painted white?!?
Insert huge GASP here... They are antlers spray painted white!!
Seriously Ballards?!?
Photo courtesy of Ballard Designs
Wow... these are just not pretty.
Know what the kicker is?? They are charging $249 for a set of 5.
Excuse me... I just fell off my chair.
I so DO NOT get this look... it is such a weird concept.
They are made of plaster so no animals were harmed but that's not even my biggest problem, as a decorator I find them to be unattractive and just plain weird. I don't have any other words to describe it... maybe ugly.
The description on-line for these lovelys states that Suzanne Kasler is known for "her unique eye and eclectic accessories" like these antlers. Like maybe Ballards knew these were pretty weird so used words like "unique" and "eclectic" like maybe they weren't totally sold on them either??
I think Ballards took a risk with this look and failed... big fat F.
Don't worry though Ballards, I still love you. xoxo
What do you guys think?? Am I being overly critical... should I give these
ugly unique antlers a chance??

Thanks for all the awesome link ups, can't wait to see what you did this week! :)
New Bedding for the King
You can read about my 4 mattress' in 12 months saga here.
#4 was delivered last Saturday. With #4 we decided to upgrade from a queen size to a king and get a completely different style mattress. I. LOVE. IT. There is SO much more room to stretch out without feeling like I'm hogging the bed. And when hub's is hogging, I don't have to hang any of my extremities off the side, awesome!
When I got married almost 10 years ago I remember my sweet Mamaw telling me, "Oh honey, I know you love each other so much and like to be close to each other but believe me, you'll want that extra space in your bed so get a king if you can." A wise woman indeed. :)
We sold our Queen sleigh bed for asking price within the first week we listed it.... Woo Hoo!! I got more for it than I expected (no one ever offers full price but this guy did, sweet!) I was able to order a king sleigh bed for just a little more than I made off of our old one.
I seriously considered making my own headboard like I've seen so many other crafty bloggers do but I really love a sleigh bed, I feel like it makes my room. And honestly, I was just a little scared of what my first attempt at a headboard would look like. So, pictures to come of the new sleigh when it arrives...
I really loved my old bedding and probably would have bought the same comforter but it's no longer available. I've been
They are all going back. In some circles I am known as the "Queen of Returns". Very impressive, I know. ;)
My room is done in beige and brown tones with ice blue accents. I needed to stay in those tones to match the decor already in there because I like it (and it's only a year old) or I would've changed it up.
My champagne tastes never let me down... I found some beautiful comforters for about $500 (no shams included) but the old beer budget laughed in my face.
I ordered this lovely and expensive comforter on clearance, it had been $500 but I got it for much, much less. I only purchased the blue comforter and shams and planned to mix it with the brown I already had.
Sadly, It looked terrible, the blue was all wrong, looked like a shiny electric blue bad 1980's prom dress. I would've taken a picture but it was too embarassing, seriously.
I then got this set... sorry about the terrible picture.
After I got it home I didn't even take it out of the package because the color looked sage green in the lighting of my room. I also decided the pattern looked too old fashioned, kind of like an old tin ceiling pattern which normally I like but just didn't go with my more modern decor.
Then I got this one which has even a worse picture...
Despite the picture it was actually pretty and really nice quality. The leaves are in shades of ice blue but the whole thing was just too white, the pretty pattern only was on the bottom and one side, it looks like more because the bed pictured is a queen, the leaves only covered a quarter it on the king :( . The bottom leaves will be covered by my footboard and doesn't it look like it's just screaming for a giant stain on it when one of my boys sneaks some food upstairs (most likely my hubby;)
I bought a plain tannish-gold one on a whim, (or maybe out of desperation) because it is really good quality and was pretty cheap at TJ's, I thought I could dress up the neutral color. It ended up being a little too gold-ish and totally boring.
I just ordered one on-line (so now 5 in one week!) and I'm crossing my fingers that this one is it!
So, do you bloggy friends obsess over things like this or am I really a crazy person for buying 5 bedding sets in 7 days?
I'd like to think it's the decorator and perfectionist in me that makes me unable to settle for some thing that looks just average and that I'm not really a crazy person.... ok, maybe just a little crazy, but aren't we all? :)

Shopping Chi-town Magnificent Mile aka: Michigan Avenue
I escaped on a 24 hour getaway last week with my hubby to Chicago. He had to go for business so this meant free swanky hotel, free transportation and lots of alone time for me... SCORE! :)
I LOVE my kids and hubby more than anything but every mom knows (hopefully!) how important it is to have some me time. Usually mine is grabbed in the bathroom in 5 minute increments with random screams coming from outside the door and someone inevitably yelling "MOOoooomm!" after the 2 minute mark. I needed a quick getaway. :)
We live within day-trip driving distance to Chicago so sometimes I take for granted what a cool city it is. While I was there it dawned on me that not everyone has visited and it might make a cool blog post... DUH.
Many of you may have heard of the Magnificent Mile (especially you Oprah fans) but if not, here is a little bit of info from Wikipedia about the "Mag Mile",
"Today, The Magnificent Mile® contains a mixture of upscale department stores, restaurants, luxury retailers, residential and commercial buildings, financial services companies and hotels, and caters primarily to tourists and the affluent. The area also has a high concentration of the city's major media firms, such as the Chicago Tribune newspaper, and advertising agencies. The Magnificent Mile includes 3,100,000 sq ft (288,000 m2) of retail space, 460 stores, 275 restaurants, 51 hotels, and a host of sightseeing and entertainment attractions to more than 22 million visitors annually.[11] The American Planning Association selected The Magnificent Mile as one of the 10 Great Streets for 2007 through its Great Places in America program.[12] In recent years, The Magnificent Mile has added trees and flower-filled medians to reflect the changing seasons.
Many of the world's leading retail stores populate The Magnificent Mile, including department stores such as Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Barneys New York, and Macy's. In addition, some of the finest luxury boutiques such as Cartier, Escada, Bulgari, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chanel, Max Mara, Vera Wang, Jimmy Choo, Georg Jensen, Harry Winston, Yves Saint Laurent, Tory Burch, St. John, Loro Piana, Jil Sander, Givenchy, Aritzia, Stuart Weitzman, Prada, Paul Stuart, Betsey Johnson, Montblanc, Anne Fontaine, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Bottega Veneta, Hermès, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Cole Haan, Charles David, Giorgio Armani, Kenneth Cole, Salvatore Ferragamo, Ermenegildo Zegna, Burberry, Hugo Boss, La Perla, Agent Provocateur, Dennis Basso, Piazza Sempione, Fratelli Rosseti, Hickey Freeman, Jil Sander, Henry Beguelin, Juicy Couture, Michael Kors, Bernadaud, Christofle, Arthur, Sermoneta, Manrico Cashmere, Marlowe, Graff Diamonds, David Yurman, Fogal, Wolford, Frette, Pratesi, Culti, Tiffany & Co., and Guess are located along The Magnificent Mile.[11] In fact, in its book The 10 Best of Everything: An Ultimate Guide for Travelers, the National Geographic named The Magnificent Mile along with Rodeo Drive and Fifth Avenue as one of the ten best shopping avenues in the world.[13]"
Piazza Sempione, Fratelli Rosseti, Hickey Freeman... Hickey who?!? Some of the stores on Michigan Avenue are SO fancy that I've never even heard of them! There are lots of other stores that I have heard of but most, unfortunately, are not really on the ol' Chic on a Shoestring budget. Boooooo.
However, don't let those fancy names scare you away. It is SO fun to window shop these stores for inspiration and there are several shops that are reasonable if you can find a sale (J.Crew, Banana Republic, Crate & Barrell, GAP and my personal favorite- Marshall's)
It's also kinda fun to go in some of the real swanky places and pretend like you might be able to afford to buy something besides a sterling silver heart bracelet that was really popular 10 years ago at Tiffany's. ;)
Fancy-pants Tiffany & Co.
More affordable J.Crew upstairs from super pricey Gucci...
4 Story Crate & Barrel = FUN
The Lux Cafe is an awesome yet not too expensive restaurant that kind of reminds me of the Cheesecake Factory. They hid Marshall's in a basement right by here... apparently it's not swanky enough to be a store front on Michigan Ave.! lol :)
To my dismay, one of my Michigan Ave. favorites, a beautiful and huge Pottery Barn store, closed. Sigh... :(
Because I'm
cheap thrifty I did most of my shopping at a huge TJ Maxx on State Street. It has a Filean's Closet in the basement for even more bargain shopping. I got some Seven For All Mankind clearance jeans($29!!) and shoes to list on eBay and hopefully quadruple my money. Didn't find any decor unfortunately.
I also got some King sheets for our new bed at the old Marshall Fields flagship store which is now Macy's. I hadn't been there in a long time and forgot how huge it is... 10 floors that are each the size of a department store. I found some sheets 75% off plus 15% off so paid $16 for king sheets and they're not even scratchy!
If in Chicago you
should MUST get some Garrett's Popcorn. They are known for their famous "Chicago Mix" which is carmel corn and cheese popcorn served together in the same bag, sounds weird but trust me, it is addictive! We get it every time we go to the city. I bought some and my hubby bought some without knowing that I had already bought some and then he got some more in a gift package he received from his conference. We had a TON of popcorn and had no problem devouring all of it. :)
As you can see the popcorn is almost gone!
I can't write a post about the Magnificent Mile without mentioning the fabulous architecture of Chicago. I've been there so many times but I always find myself amazed by it's beauty. We've taken a few architecture tours... one on a boat on the Chicago River, the other on a bus through town, both good but I highly recommend the boat tours.
Me and my hubby overlooking the Chicago River and Michigan Avenue/Mag Mile. The brightly lit white building behind us is the Wrigley building, one of my faves!
The city and river are breathtaking at night!
Awesome architecture of the Tribune Building entrance.
Although I didn't go this time, Navy Pier is a must see for a Chicago visit, we were able to see the fireworks
on the pier from downtown.
Of course it wouldn't be a trip to Chicago without hitting a Home Goods in the suburbs on the way home but that's a whole 'nother post. ;)
I hope you enjoyed my quick tour of Chicago's Magnificent Mile. What's your favorite big city to shop in??

The Mattress Saga, 1 Year, 4 Mattresses...
I know you're thinking we must be really picky about mattresses and made of money because mattresses are not cheap. Oh how I wish it were that simple...
The mattress saga started last summer when we moved. We had never had a decent mattress... when we were married we got a hand-me down, not very comfortable but the price was right, FREE!
We then got a cheap new mattress that ended up being awful after about two years, we slept on it for 2 more years and then decided that when we moved we would buy ourselves a decent mattress set.
We went to a reputable furniture/mattress store and did that weird laying on a mattress in the middle of a store "mattress test" that doesn't really test anything. Just tests how long you can lay on a mattress stiffly and feeling awkward while the salesperson stares at you. It's so weird...
Anywho, we bought a very popular namebrand mattress set that had bells and whistles we'd never heard of like a latex and memory foam pillowtop that was supposed to be the best of both worlds. It came with a box spring and a 10 year warranty (thank the good Lord for that warranty).
I was super excited and when it arrived I was not disappointed. I thought it was very plush and comfy. My hubby on the other hand thought it was too soft. At first I thought it was because he was so used to sleeping on hard crummy mattresses and that he would adjust to the new one.
No such luck.
Immediately his side started to sag. Before you let your imaginations run wild with what my dear hubby looks like I should also add that he is just an average size guy, a size that should not cause a mattress to sag within a week. But it did. My side started sagging after about 2 months. After 3 months had passed our mattress sagged enough (1.5 inches) that the warranty allowed for a replacement mattress.
This happened again.... and again.... and again all within 12 months. 3 mattresses down and #4 is being delivered next week.
With our 4th mattress the store has been extremely apologetic and offered to replace the boxsprings (the warranty only changes out the mattress) and give our bed an extra support bar for free. They also allowed us to choose a different style mattress. Thank you!
They have been great about replacing these saggy loser mattresses quickly and have taken the last 2 before they were all the way to the point of warranty replacement (1.25 instead of 1.5 inches) because of all the trouble we were having. We have been very pleased with their handling and are so thankful we bought from a family-owned business and not a big box store.
For mattress #4 we decided to step it up and get a king size... it only ended up costing $100 more which we had to pay (boooo) and a we got a different style mattress, no pillow top. We are hoping and praying this will be the mattress... comfortable and roomy, something that will solve all my husbands back pain caused by all the junky sagging mattresses over this past year.
I am SO excited to get a king but SO sad that my Queen sleigh bed will no longer work. I also really loved my bedding that will all be too small now. Sniff, Sniff...
Now I need to sell my queen bed so I can use the cash to get a king. Anyone need a gently used queen sleigh bed??? It's for sale... Anyone? Anyone?? :)
I went online looking for a decent priced king sleigh bed and decided to check out CSN Stores because they have everything.
I'm supposed to just be looking for a new bed but I was totally checking out bedroom suites and more. They have all kinds of bedroom furniture, I even checked out a bedroom vanity. I had one as a kid and thought it was the coolest thing ever!
But really, I just need a bed. I'm considering making a tufted headboard but I've heard that can be expensive after all the materials... plus I already have a gazillion projects on my to-do list. We shall see...
Have any of you ever had extremely bad luck with a high ticket item? Did the store or warranty take care of you?

Good food, reasonably priced, clean comfortable accommodation. Pleasant family run restaurant and B&B. Whether camping or caravanning (or making use of the B&B accommodation late in the season is glorious, if windy weather - when the rest of the U.K. was being pummelled by storms), year after year we have been made welcome and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere, as well as being occasionally entertained by the musical talents of the youngest family member. We have also taken friends and family (or recommended to others who also visit the area), and none have been disappointed. Definitely the place to visit if you are in the area. Husband had to go without me this year, but still called in to eat and while away the time...and will both be there again next year and the next...

One of the extremely important reason why drupal development is best is because its internal architectural structure makes the whole process of search engine optimization must easier.. Out of the box, near to perfect for SEO so you have a strong powerful website with good online presence.
A major factor for successful SEO is to figure out the balanced website design so search engines can find what they are looking for in your website which makes your search engine ranking good and Drupal certainly is a platform which does that. Now only you can have a SEO friendly drupal website but also you do not have to be a technical genious to run your website. The pre-build Drupal CMS lets you manage your website very easily.
Drupal SEO is not all about stuffing your webpages with rich keywords or cross linking, its lot more then it, it creates user friendly URL's which optimizes the pages for particular keyword, the structure itself is very easy for search engines to understand and read, index your pages for your important keywords.
If you are new to Drupal and have never installed or configured a drupal website contact us today for more information.

Boston's own M|o|o|n released his self-titled EP independently last November, and somehow I'm only just now hearing about it.
A little more straightforward than a lot of the recent features here, but by no means does that mean it's any less groovy. As the nephew of recently retired James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem), it seems as though M|o|o|n is stepping in to keep that electronic bloodline flowing at full force.
The album is name-your-price, however 20% of all proceeds are donated to The Elixir Fund to help patients and families deal with their individual battles with cancer.

In 2006, HFMA published Reconstructing Hospital Pricing Systems: A Call to Action for Hospital Finance Leaders, part of the Association's PATIENT FRIENDLY BILLING® initiative. In the report, HFMA defined five characteristics of a rational pricing system:
A recent story in the Los Angeles Times about a reporter's run-in with the payment side of our healthcare system suggests how far the industry remains from a rational pricing system (Lazarus, D., "First the Cat, Now the Health System Puts the Bite on Me," Jan. 15, 2013). The reporter required hospitalization after a cat bite became infected. His room was priced at $4,000 a night (more than the nightly cost of a 1,400-square-foot suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel). The generic equivalent of an over-the-counter pain reliever came in at $16 per pill. Inserting a tube in the arm for an intravenous drip at home was priced at $2,352.
Of course, the total amount paid by the reporter and his insurance company was significantly less than the total price of $52,660 reflected on the bill. Asked about the difference between the amount billed and the amount paid, the CEO of the hospital where the reporter received his care admitted, "It's funny money. It's not even there."
In January, I commented in this column on the growing demand for greater transparency on price and cost data. But the situation encountered by the Los Angeles Times reporter highlights just how opaque prices are under the current system. Charges bear little relationship to the amount due from the insurer and patient. That amount, in turn, depends upon the rate negotiated between the hospital and the insurance plan, which varies from plan to plan. The patient is left confused by billing statements that show prices far in excess of the amount actually paid.
New benefit designs that encourage patients to shop for—and healthcare providers to compete on—the best price for care have the potential to begin moving the industry toward a more rational pricing system. Two examples of such benefit designs are reference pricing (also referred to as value pricing) and centers of excellence. In both cases, large self-funded employers have taken the lead in developing these benefit designs. Both can be seen as outgrowths of the movement toward consumer-driven health care in employer-sponsored insurance, but each brings a unique twist to consumer-driven health care's reliance on patient cost sharing.
Reference pricing establishes a set maximum, or reference, price for a given procedure. Healthcare organizations that agree to meet or stay below that reference price and meet or exceed quality thresholds are designated as preferred providers. Employees who use these facilities for a procedure typically face nothing more than their standard deductible or copayment in out-of-pocket costs. If an employee chooses a facility with prices above the reference price, however, the employee is responsible for the full difference between the reference price and the price charged, in addition to any standard deductibles or copayments. In areas with wide variations in price, that difference can be substantial.
Centers of excellence have focused to date on a select set of nonemergency procedures in areas such as cardiology and orthopedics. Facilities that have established strong reputations for the quality of their outcomes in these procedures contract—often with large, national self-funded employers—to offer the procedure at a discounted price, on the assumption that the discount will be made up by increased volume. One of the earliest and best-known of these arrangements is between Cleveland Clinic and the national home-improvement retailer, Lowe's. Last fall, Walmart announced a "centers-of-excellence" program that will provide heart, spine, and transplant surgeries at no out-of-pocket cost to Walmart associates at six designated centers of excellence across the country. Because undergoing a procedure at a center of excellence often requires a patient to travel, these types of programs typically provide an incentive, such as Walmart's removal of out-of-pocket cost exposure, to encourage selection of the center-of-excellence facility.
On the governmental side, the bundled payment pilot being administered by the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) is also encouraging healthcare organizations to restructure their pricing. Organizations participating in the pilot negotiate a discounted target price for a bundled set of services with CMMI and share in the savings if they do better than the target price. CMMI has not, however, developed financial incentives to encourage Medicare beneficiaries to use pilot participants, which reduces the potential for enhanced volume that reference pricing and center-of-excellence models can offer preferred providers.
To the extent that reference pricing, centers of excellence, and bundled payments ask healthcare organizations to construct reliable, sustainable prices for healthcare services, they represent significant potential for moving toward the characteristics of a rational pricing system described in HFMA's 2006 report.
On the provider side, the need to determine a fixed or target price for services will make healthcare organizations more focused on accounting for the full costs of providing those services and more sensitive to market prices—key benchmarks in a rational pricing system. For employers and patients, the financial benefits of using a preferred provider or center of excellence can be clearly communicated and easily understood. Reference pricing, in particular, encourages accountability by giving patients incentives to make price comparisons in selecting providers and to reject providers that cannot provide reliable preservice price estimates. As the healthcare system moves toward population health management, hospitals that can reliably price their services will also be favored for the stability and predictability they offer to entities managing a population's cost of care.
Continued efforts by employers and government programs to contain rising healthcare costs, combined with trends toward population management in which hospitals will be increasingly perceived as cost centers, will only intensify the pressures on healthcare organizations to compete on price. Reference pricing, centers of excellence, and bundled payments challenge healthcare organizations to restructure their pricing systems—a process that will be both time-consuming and subject to risk. But organizations that are able to meet this challenge will be well situated to compete in a more value-driven healthcare system.

Property Name:
Christ Church, Guilford
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
6800, , Oakland Mills Road, , Columbia, , Howard County
Christ Church was constructed in a Georgian style in 1809. The gable-front brick building on a fieldstone foundation is two bays wide and three deep. The exterior walls are of handmade brick laid in common bond with unmarked joints. Some salmon bricks were used as face bricks. There is a simple wood box cornice on both the north and south sides. A slight overhang exists on the west gable, but the barge is applied directly against the brick on the east gable. A small belfry at the west end is supported by four square wood columns that extend down to the gallery floor. The belfry appears to be a late addition. Two old chimneys once stood on the west end, and appear in c. 1938 photographs. They still survive inside at the gallery level, directly above the two west doors. A modern chimney on the east end serves the present furnace. There are three-part windows with double-hung sash on each side of the church and a three-part double-hung window high in each gable end. Brick jack arches support the masonry above all these windows. Windows on the sides have 12/12 sash except the two easternmost windows which have stained and painted glass dating from c. 1885-1915. The three-part windows have 9/9 sash flanked on each side by narrow 3/3 sash. The two double doors in the west end have four panels placed vertically in each door. Modern wood enframements, including a pediment around each door, covers a glazed transom over each which is visible from the interior. A c. 1938 photograph shows a cantilevered hood over each door, later additions perhaps contemporary with the belfry. A modern door cut into the east end opens onto a breezeway leading to the parish house. Attached to the east end is a frame sacristy on a stone foundation. It is slightly narrower than the church itself.
Just after the turn of the 18th century was a period of little physical growth in the Episcopal Church in Maryland. It had lost its government support and was low on funds, resulting in a time of little construction. For this same reason, the churches that were built were often economically designed, as is the case with Christ Church, Guilford. The only feature of architectural sophistication is the three-part window over the entrances, while on the interior the paneled gallery is a simple and direct interpretation of much larger churches of the 18th century in Philadelphia, London, and elsewhere. A small rectangular brick structure erected in 1809, Christ Church is in most respects closely related to the church architecture of 18th century Maryland.

scrap prices,
service center,
Catherine Ngai
PITTSBURGH Domestic steel sheet prices appear to have hit a bottom, sources said, but an oversupply of material continues to stymie any upside despite what distributors and mills report to be stable demand.
"People are all busy. Everyones business is good, but its just that everyone is struggling with margins," one Midwest service center source said. "The mills are drawing the line in the sand that were at the bottom. No one is coming out and predicting a price increase, but no one is budging for lower numbers."
Sources said hot-rolled band prices remained steady this past week, with most buyers and sellers pegging spot prices at $29 per hundredweight ($580 per ton) f.o.b. Midwest mill, although a number of sources reported larger-tonnage transactions at closer to $28.50 per cwt ($570 per ton).
The issue, many said, isnt necessarily that business conditions are terrible or that demand itself isnt steady. Instead, squeezed margins are a top concern for many service centers and mills, sources said.
"The margins are what sucks. When we all add extra capacity, we all knock each others margins down," said a second Midwest service center source.
Others agreed, citing too many suppliers chasing too few orders. "Too many people are too desperate. And too many guys arent making enough money," said a third Midwest service center source. "There are plenty of people out there who are putting out tons of steel and taking a loss."
Oversupply in the steel sheet market has been cited as the markets Achilles heel for some time, contributing to a multimonth pricing slide. Last month, Severstal North America Inc. announced that it intended to push sheet prices higher and end the slide, but buyers said the hike did not stick due to the capacity concerns.
"If you cry wolf too many times, it has a negative impact on the people you sell to. It looks to me the mills cried wolf one too many times," the second Midwest service center source said of the attempted hike.
There are, however, a number of positive signs on the horizon, sources said. A combination of planned outages at various mills, the lockout at U.S. Steel Corp.s Lake Erie Works and an expected deal this month for ThyssenKrupp AGs Calvert, Ala., facility could help solidify steel prices, sources said. With residential construction activity picking up, the horizon could look even brighter, sources added.
"If we see a pickup in commercial construction, I think that will be enough to kickstart this business," said a service center source in the West. "Im really anticipating a pickup in the first quarter of 2014. Right now, places like Arizona, Colorado, those areas are where residential has been kicking in high gear for the last six to eight months. Now, commercial is starting to follow it."
Yet downward pressure remains, particularly with scrap prices in major markets, such as Detroit and Chicago, down about $20 per ton in May (amm.com, May 3).
"The supply-demand situation still seems to be in overcapacity. Prices are fairly stable right now; I dont anticipate pricing moving at all," said a fourth Midwest service center source. "Theres no more room to give on the mill side of things. But with scrap falling, its only going to weaken their ability to get a stronger, high number. With that said, it certainly shouldnt push the price down."

From the Ohio Department of Natural Resources
-- Ohio's spring wild turkey hunting opens in all 88 counties on April 19 and continues through May 16. A special youth-only turkey hunt for those ages 17 and younger will be April 17-18.
Although the 2009 season saw one of the poorest wild turkey hatches in recent years, good numbers of two-year-old gobblers should be available in many areas this spring, according to Wildlife Biologist Mike Reynolds. Hunters harvested 20,710 wild turkeys during last year's youth and spring turkey seasons.
The state's current wild turkey population is around 200,000. As many as 70,000 hunters, not counting private landowners hunting on their own property, are expected to take part in the Ohio spring wild turkey season.
Youth hunters must have both a youth hunting license and a youth spring turkey permit in order to participate in the youth hunt. They must be accompanied by a non-hunting adult, 18 years of age or older. The young hunter's turkey season is open statewide with the exception of Lake LaSuAn State Wildlife Area in Williams County which requires a special hunting permit. Legal hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to sunset each day during the two-day youth season.
The wild turkey is Ohio's largest game bird. It stands 3-4 feet tall and may weigh more than 20 pounds. Legal hunting hours are one-half hour before sunrise until noon from April 19 to May 2, 2010. New this year, hunting hours from May 3-16 will be a half-hour before sunrise to sunset. Hunters are required to have a hunting license and a spring turkey-hunting permit and can take one bearded turkey per day. A second spring turkey permit can be purchased, allowing hunters to take a limit of two bearded wild turkeys.
Shotguns using shot, longbows and crossbows may be used to hunt wild turkeys. It is unlawful to hunt turkeys over bait, to use a live decoy or electronic calling device, or to shoot a wild turkey while it is in a tree. During the first two weeks of the statewide spring season, a wild turkey must be properly tagged and taken to an official check station by 2 p.m. on the day it is harvested. During the extended hours offered May 3-16, hunters will have until 2 p.m. the following day to check their bird.
The Division of Wildlife advises turkey hunters to wear hunter orange clothing when entering, leaving or moving through hunting areas in order to remain visible to others. Additional turkey hunting information is available at wildohio.com.

KNOX COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT)- Area shoppers once again mobbed the Knox County business community with cash.
It was part of the 9th Knox County Cash mob.
Multiple businesses were on the receiving end of Thursday's cash infusion.
A number of vendors who set up shop each week for the farmer's market, including local produce sellers and craft makers, say they saw an uptick in sales during the "mob."
Knox County Mayor, Tim Burchett, says he's pleased with how the cash mobs have been going and the national attention it brings to our area.
Mayor Burchett also says due to the approaching Winter season, this will probably be the last cash mob for the year.
