|I have no idea what to do with it. It's been stacked in a corner. It's been on the counters. It's been on the kitchen table.
I finally broke down and bought some medium sized plastic bins and have three of them on a shelf in the laundry room because I have no idea where to put this stuff!!
Crayons, binder paper, boxes of pencils, markers, glue sticks, construction paper....Argh!
I know that there has to be a better way. One where it's easily accessible but not where I have to stare at it every day.
What do you guys do?
If it helps any, I have an 8 year old in school and a four year old at home...
Follow-Up Postings:
|I have shelves next to the fridge in the kitchen with those clear plastic shoeboxes. One for markers, one for glues and tape, and so on.
It actually stays much neater than trying to keep it hidden away. Since it's in our face, I am more likely to straighten it up quickly.
My youngest is only five, then an 8 yo, and an 11 yo. I figure it's one of those things you have out during different phases of life. Just like you stepped around the baby swing and diaper stuff, caftsy stuff belongs in this phase.
Luckily, my 21 yo doesn't create these problems anymore. He just takes up space in the driveway.
Just remember that organized doesn't mean hidden away. Out in the open when something is frequently used is just fine. Kind of like all of those cooking utensils I keep in a crock next to the stove. Out in the open, right where I need them.

|When my kids were around that age, we kept supplies in clear plastic rubbermaid totes in a bookcase. Coloring books went in a magazine basket. I also had a box for "projects" that included things like cardboard and paper towel tubes and yarn and paint and junk. Kids love making "projects" of their own, and it's a good activity for bad weather days. Give them a roll of masking tape and some glue and they're happy.
Now that my kids are older, I have a big rubbermaid bin full of extra school supplies in the basement. The boys know to go there when they need something.
One of our local schools suggested you provide each child with a clear plastic "homework box" that contains everything a kid would need to do homework (pens, pencils, crayons, markers, scissors, glue, tape, paper, etc.). The PTA even sold them for $25 one year.
Your current solution sounds OK to me. The kids will be using those things every day, and you might as well keep them where they're handy. I agree with Gloria, it's just a phase of life that you have to live with, just like when the baby swing was a permanent feature in the living room. ;) I hadn't thought of that swing in a long time! LOL
|We have a skinny closet in our kitchen where I stash the board games, puzzles and art supplies. I also have the clear plastic bins set up on the lowest shelves for crayons, markers, paint, tape, etc. As long as it's all contained and I can shut the door, life is good *g*.
The art supplies used to be an unholy mess, but now that the kids are a bit older (6 and 10) they do *try* to put things back where they belong. Now that I think of it, though, it might be time to do a little weeding out in that closet ...

I like drawers for this sort of stuff.
easier to get out, easier to sort, easier to store. Open draaer, stash stuff, close drawer.
Get those Sterilite 3-drawer sets (or an Iris-brand cart w/ the shallow drawers, if you want), and put in dividers.
iris makes a nice one for this that I use in my Sunday School classroom--it has two shallow drawers on top and a deeper on one the bottom; I got it at Office Depot.
I put the scissors, glue sticks, etc., in the upper drawers, and the paint and playdough in the bottom deep drawer.
I used those "score and snap" drawer dividers from the Container Store (actually got mine at Target, though) to divide the drawers so stuff doesn't slide around everywhere.
At home I have those little drawer organizing containers from Rubbermaid, which work almost as well, but not quite.
Though maybe the small Sterilite ones would work.
And Rubbermaid makes a small one--not sure if it's skinny around side-to-side
If all else fails, put some sort of divider inside a larger drawer, to keep the markers from sliding end-to-end, and ending up tipped at an angle. I just cut cardboard into strips and taped in place w/ packing tape in one of my drawers.
I do find that I keep too much. Right now I've used drawers and other containers to fill a shelf intheir room, but most of it just never gets used. I need to weed out.
I have actually thrown away, in the past, and entire shoebox full of crayons.
Here is a link that might be useful: Sterilite's three-drawer chests--other companies make similar ones

|Well with 5 homeschooled kids we have lots-o-papers.... and since I also have an ex husband who does not like that I homeschool the kids ( since he became a teacher).. I keep just about everything.. it's a REAL nuisance but I figure if he drags me back into court so that he can loose again I will once again be ready. Last time that was one of the things that really impressed the judge.. it was a freaking circus to put it all together but it proved that what I needed. SOOOOOOOOOOOO I keep a LARGE blue Sterilite box in my office and when we are done with stuff I chuck it in there. At the end of the year it gets labled/sealed and put in the basement. I have often thought that it might save on space to "space bag" the stuff but since we have a mongo sized basement it's never really been an issue.

|Have a 50's looking "console" table in the livingroom in front of the big front window. There are six drawers in it and four of them are filled with puzzles, large drawing paper, books, etc. "Papaw" gets two drawers for his stuff! LOL The smaller crayons, markers, paints, etc. are stored in the kids' room in a large plastic container with a lid.
These supplies are for my grandkids and they all know where to find their "stuff".

|We bought my daughter a portfolio for her artwork at a craft store. It's vinyl, quite large and flat - so it slides easily behind her dresser or the couch. It's great for special artwork that she wants to keep.
I have a friend who made a cheaper alternative - she stapled together 2 poster boards, leaving one side open like an envelope.

|along the lines of Janet's portfolio
I have the big one, but I find that it encourages me to keep TOO MANY of the papers. I know they won't want those when they're older.
I think I'd be better off to give each kid one, and then when it gets full, have them go through and weed it out.
That way, they'd actually LOOK at those drawings, etc., sort of like looking through a scrapbook.

Quilter's Treasure
Singer Featherweight Portables
by Carolyn M Ybarra
ISMACS News
Issue 27
SLEEK AND shiny with a simple, elegant, and compact design, the Singer 221 - nicknamed "Featherweight" - is the semi-precious jewel of the world.
For those who collect toy machines, it's too big, weighing in at 11 lbs 1 oz. (5.0 kg). For those who collect antiques, it's too new, having been manufactured in the United States between 1933 and 1964 (with the white-colored 221K version made in Britain from 1963-68). For modern seamstresses, it's too basic, sewing only a straight stitch without even a reverse setting on early models.
Even during the years of its manufacture it was sometimes ignored by the sewing public, as looking too much like a toy, and being too expensive for depression-era and wartime pocketbooks.
For modern-day quilters, the Singer Featherweight, like the baby bear's bed in Goldilocks, is "just right".
Quilt tops are pieced together from small scraps of fabric using quarter-inch seam allowances. Quilters, therefore, value a machine that can sew a straight lock stitch without the slight zig-zag that characterizes the straight stitch on most modern machines.
The featherweight, although constructed of aluminum and thus very lightweight, runs smoothly and quietly due to its well-balanced rotary-hook mechanism. This lightweight machine that comes with its own handy case (resembling and roughly the size of an old-fashioned cosmetics case or record case) is also valued for its portability, by those who attend classes and conferences with fellow quilters around the world.
Finally, its sleekness, elegance, and mechanical simplicity appeals to the design sense of women and men who appreciate the beauty of color, line, and texture in their quilts. Now collectors are starting to take notice, too.
While many existing machines were well-loved and thus well-used, Featherweights are by no means rare. Machines in good condition can still be found at bargain prices in garage sales and auction houses. Advertisements in quilters' magazines bring higher prices.
The highest-priced machines are in good condition with little wear on the gold leaf, complete with case, attachments, and original manual.
The predominant finish on the 221 is a shiny black. The 221K was black or a shiny white and has a shorter bed. A smaller number of machines in other colors exist, including a light tan color produced in Great Britain and a matte black produced in the United States.
The rumored mint-green Featherweight is apparently an alternate description of the white machine, which can have a slightly greenish cast.
Rumors of a red and/or blue Singer 221, reputedly distributors' premiums, have not been verified. It may be that these stories are based on the existence of colored versions of the Singer toy model 20.3
The Singer 221 has a fold-up bed which allows the owner to change the bobbin easily, and also makes the machine compact enough to set down into the carrying case.
The combination free-arm model 222K is a rarer find in the United States than it is in England. These were apparently produced in the Kilbowie factory in Scotland, between roughly 1954 and 1961.
The 222K has a removable-bed extension, for use when sewing pant legs and shirt sleeves, and weighs in about 2 lbs more than the model 221.
Cases are black, with leather handles on the older models and plastic on the newer. Cases for the white machine are white with a green stripe.
Older cases have an accessory tray that stacks on top of the machine, which is set down in the case.
The newer cases have a built-in side shelf for accessories and bobbins, and a place for the foot pedal on the inside of the case cover.
In addition to the cases, Featherweights were sometimes sold with specially-designed folding convertible card tables, with a removable section for the machine.
These tables are somewhat rarer than the machines, possibly because of their convertible design.
Officially called the Singer Three-Way Table, these were advertised as multi-purpose for use in sewing, card playing, and informal dining.
Four Featherweight-design variations include chrome flywheels and face-plate scrollwork on the earlier versions, versus black flywheels and a striated face-plate pattern on the later versions.
The gold leaf on the machine varies slightly in pattern over the years as well.
The early tension adjustment and throat plate are un-numbered, while the later tension adjustment is numbered and black rather than chrome. The later throat plate has seam allowance markings.
Dating of the model 221 is quite easy using the serial number stamped on the underside of the machine.
The Singer manufacturing seal on the front of the machine varied in design over time. The most- interesting designs were seals from machines marketed during various expositions.
The 221 was introduced at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, and a commemorative medallion exists on machines marketed at that event. There is a 1936 seal for the Texas Centennial Exposition, and a 1939 seal for the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco.
It is possible that special seals may also exist for the 1939 World's Fair in New York or for any of the expositions that took place in the 1960s while the 221 was still being manufactured.
Many 1951-52 machines carry a Singer Centennial seal, marking the 100th anniversary of the Singer Manufacturing Co. Most Featherweights have one of a few standard designs of an oval gold seal reading "Singer Manufacturing Company."
We quilters have an interest in keeping the special qualities of this "princess of portables" a secret to be shared only with those who love and appreciate the beauty and utility of a good mechanical design.
It was inevitable that antique-sewing-machine collectors would eventually discover the Singer 221, and we hope that, like us, you will cherish these machines and keep them from collecting dust in attics and basements. Happy hunting!
Dating data
DATE-of-manufacture information has been
provided by the Singer Sewing Company of Edison, New Jersey, USA, from serial numbers taken from 272 machines in a 1996 survey by Krisi Santilla of the Featherweight Fanatics.
Serial numbers are stamped on the underside of the machine, and consist of two letters, followed by six digits (e.g. AD111111).
Using the letters only, you can determine place of manufacture and approximate date of manufacture.
I have indicated when Santilla notes new features being introduced.
US manufacture:
AE 1935-37 numbered tension knob
AG 1941-47 black balance wheel
AH 1947-48 striated face plate
AJ 1948-50 case with side shelf
AL 1952-55 seam allowance gauge; gold-leaf pattern change
GB manufacture:
EH 1951-53 gold-leaf pattern change
EK 1954 seam-allowance gauge
There is evidence that EY and FA machines were made in Britain, probably until 1969, and that the JE was produced in Canada up until the early 1960s.
Editor's Note The K in model numbers - eg 222K - refers to any British Singer models made at Kilbowie, Glasgow.
1. Singer and Featherweight are registered trade marks of the Singer Manufacturing Company and/or the Singer Sewing Company of Edison, NJ.
2. Dating throughout this article is courtesy of an unpublished 1996 survey of 272 machines compiled by Krisi Santilla from information provided by members of the online Featherweight Fanatics group, operated by Sue Traudt. Manufacture dates for machines surveyed were provided by the Singer company. Nancy Johnson-Srebro, in her book Featherweight 221 The Perfect Portable (1992, Silver Star Publishing, Tunkhannock, PA), notes that the white machines were sold (but not manufactured) in the United States between 1968 and 1970.

Beautiful place, great owner

I stayed at this beautiful condo on the lake. Loved the convenience to nearby beach and marina. Was a spontaneous trip and the owner was extremely accommodating. Highly recommend this place!

I must say I was disappointed at first, the lake view on our side was dried up, HOWEVER to my amazement it turned out to be better than a like view, as the sun went down all of a sudden there were deer everywhere, right under out patio. I sat and watched in amazement, it was the most beautiful sight, I wish that we could have stayed longer this was a wonder trip and we are already planning a return visit In the fall. Thank you so much.

Deer Everywhere!
June 24, 2013
We recently stayed at The Island in Lago Vista and had a nice stay. It is very quiet and peaceful. The level of Lake Travis has been down for the last several years but we still found a nice area to the west of the complex to go to the shore and have a great time playing on a beach. Deer are all over the area and we really enjoyed seeing the families of deer on the grounds and in the neighborhood. During the week the area is pretty quiet but on weekends they have events that you can participate in at night. We didn't take advantage of the spa treatments they offer but they do offer those, too. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place to go, this is a great location. If you are looking for a place with lots to do, this might not be the best location for you. It is in a small town and it is a 15-20 minute drive to get to the next town of much size for better restaurants, movies, etc. There is a small grocery store about 10 minutes away and a few restaurants. Bam's, with their stuffed hamburgers, was our favorite. This particular unit had a well stocked kitchen. And one of the best parts - we got my deposit back within a week!

Excellent Stay!

This condo was wonderful! Our family of 6 enjoyed it comfortably with plenty of room to spare. The water levels were at an all time low, but still the island was magnificent! Maheen really kept the condo in top notch condition for her visitors. All amenities were included (from towels to cable to dishes etc.) We had a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back soon! Thanks Maheen!

Pre-Wedding Bliss
July 6, 2011
My daughter was getting married in Austin with the reception in Jonestown. I was looking for a place to stay where we could enjoy each others company and tie up loose ends before the wedding. This condo far exceeded our expectations! It was spacious, beautiful, and comfortable. My family and I spent a week in luxury..Even with everything that was going on for us we were still able to relax and unwind. The only complaint we had was that we couldn't spend more time on the Island. On Saturday night we took advantage of the Brisos Bar and Grill...enjoying Karioke. We also found the employees at the Island to be top notch, polite, and very accomadating. I really don't want to recommend this unit because I am afraid it won't be available next time I am in town. If you are looking for a wonderful, no hassle experience you have chosen the right place.

The condo was awesome. My family and I enjoyed it very much. Very clean and spacious; enough to fit up to 8 people. We would definitely rent this condo again when we come back to Lake Travis.

The condo was wonderful. After the first day we had already made up our minds to come back. We were looking for a place to get away and relax and it was much more than just relaxing. When booking the condo communication was great. Easy check in and all the people have been very nice. Can't wait to come back. Next year we plan to stay for a month. Hope your experience is as great as ours. Enjoy Your Stay Cody J. Davis

My Family is now COMPLETE

I was on hospital bedrest since 10/21/10, already got 2 steroid shots to mature babys lungs, had antibiotics and at the time I was 3 cm and 50% effaced. 2 hours ago my water broke but there are no contractions. They want to keep baby in until 34 weeks so 1 week and 3 days to go. DD3 was born at 32 weeks as well, so if this is the similar experience then labor will probably start in 1-2 days. Will keep everyone updated.
I gave birth on 10/24/10 @ 739 am PST. He was born at 32w5d.
Weight: 3 lbs. 15.5 oz. Length: 17.5 in.
We changed his name at the last minute to Brendon Dre Kalani.
He is doing fine and breathing room air. Will post pics when I get home.

I have enjoyed my time at Lindsay Lane. My building is very safe and the location is great and quiet. The sn Read Moreowfall this year has been obnoxious, but LL has made sure that our parking lots are well plowed so there are no issues. On the flip side, when it was not so cold out, and the units share one temperature for the entire building, I had to buy 2 mini heaters just to keep my apartment warm. While maintenance did adjust it, the apartment never got above 60 degrees F.

I wasn't provided the unit I that was agreed upon at lease signing, and wasn't told I was being given a differ Read Moreent unit until I showed up on move-in day.
The building I am in floods regularly with each heavy rain, making the hallways wet and stinking of ground water and mildew.
Water bill is sketchy...you don't pay your own usage, but a portion of the water used by the entire unit, so it doesn't pay to conserve. They don't tell you that when you move in.

Striped Maple Buds
Striped Maple (Acer pensylvanicum), also known as Moosewood and Moose Maple, can easily be identified summer or winter by its greenish bark bearing vertical white stripes (hence, its common name). Because the bark is so distinctive, one needn't rely on Striped Maple's buds for identification purposes, but they are well worth investigating, nonetheless. Their graceful shape, smooth surface (few bud scales) and pinkish-red coloration distinguish them from all others. These buds and young branches that bear them are devoured by rabbits and hares, are frequently eaten by porcupines and beavers, and provide browse for deer and moose.

Black Walnut – Identification in Winter
Yellow Birch (Betula alleghaniensis)
Sugar Maple Buds & Bark
Northern Red Oak Identification in Winter
Tree Buds: American Basswood
Bark, silhouettes and buds are the three keys to identifying trees in winter. My preference is buds, as they are so distinctly different from one species to the next. American basswood, or linden (Tilia americana), is a favorite. Its plump, oval, asymmetrical red buds, bearing only one or two bud scales are unmistakable.

Orochon Ramen Customer Reviews
- Five stars. During my trip to LA, I had to try here, since I saw the shop on Man vs Food awhile back. I really enjoyed the food (think I was starving). It reminded me a lot of the ramen shops back in Honolulu, but had a different edge to it. Wanted to try the challenge, but chickened out. Anyway, enjoy your ramen here. Good stuff! - Jarod H.Yelp
- Some friends took me to this place saying it was really good. Well it was! I had the miso ramen with spicy level #2 (Not the special). The amount of spiciness was just right for that night, although I do want to try their special spicy levels. The ramen came with a variety of sides (unlike some ramen places where they charge for every little bit) and I just had more cha siu added (and it didn't cost an arm and leg for a small slice). Writing this review just makes my mouth water because it was one of the best bowl of ramen i've had yet. - Danny S.Yelp
- So many choices you have to make at this Ramen shop! I opted for the Soy 6 (slightly spicy soy based broth), extra meat, and a soft-boiled egg. #nomnom - @JaumePrimerofoursquare

Just when you thought that there weren't any world records left to break, the Texans go out and make something worthwhile to record. The world's largest gingerbread house has been constructed by a group of A&M Traditions Club members and volunteers. Weighing (or measuring) in at just over 39,000 cubic feet, this home trumps the previous records.
Now if you're wondering what it takes to create a space this large from a bunch of ingredients you'll be stunned to learn the following. More than 1,800 pounds of butter, 3,000 pounds of brown sugar, 7,200 eggs, and 7,200 pounds of flour were used in the process of creating this masterpiece and over 4,165 pounds of powdered sugar were used in the icing alone– which adds up to more than 36 Million calories.
The best part about this holiday record? All donations and entry fees gathered ($2 & $3 p/p) will be donated to fund St. Joseph's Level II Trauma Center.

Eric Harroun is in federal custody in the United States charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction outside the US.
Court documents allege Harroun was working side-by-side with the al Nusra Front, branded by the US a terrorist organisation.
In March, Harroun went to the US consulate in Istanbul, and agreed to be interviewed by the FBI.
He told officials he joined the Free Syrian Army and was picked up by the al Nusra Front. According to Harroun, he was treated as a prisoner for a while, but then fought alongside them to help overthrow Syrian leader al-Assad.
While the US also wants to overthrow Assad, legal experts say that does not play into the US government's decision to charge him.

Historical Traveller Reviews of The Westin Hotel Pasadena
Amazing Service at a wonderful hotelfrom donnyshawn
But what made this hotel stand out was the service. I took a group out for the Billy Graham Crusade and probably called the hotel 20 times with adjustments to our rooms and schedule. I was the one who couldn't get my act together, yet every time I called they were helpful and every single person I talked with was polite. Upon check-in, they still made necessary adjustments and worked hart accomodate all our request.
One thing I look for when I travel is courteous service. And this hotel was top-notch in this area. Some of the kindest people and best service I've experienced in a long while.
Loved it!from beth_n_shiloh
Renovation In Progress--Needs Morefrom Winemkr
My harshest critique is reserved for the food. Quality was unacceptable. My Caesar salad had been prepared some time before it was served to me and the lettuce was limp and soggy. My filet mignon, potatoes and vegetables were tepid and appeared as if they had been reheated rather than freshly cooked. Breakfast pancakes were tough and dry. The restaurant is under renovation. I hope they renovate the food preparation methods as well.
The location is fairly close to Colorado Street shops. If I stayed here again, I would eat elsewhere.
We liked it.from A TripAdvisor Member
The hotel itself was in the midst of a partial remodel while we were there so there was a paint smell in the lobby and the elevator bank was surrounded by bare sheetrock but it really didn't bother us---the rest of the hotel was OK. The hotel tends to be on the upscale side---there was valet parking with no apparent option for self service. The lobby level was very nice with a restaurant with high prices. A basic breakfast for 3 came to $55 but the service and food was very good. There was an outdoor pool on the fourth floor and a separate exercise room on the same level with very large windows on several sides affording a good view of the surrounding mountains.
The beds were incredibly luxurious and comfortable, we had a flat screen TV and the bathroom was nicer than most. Each time we arrived or departed in the lobby we were warmly greeted by a staff member. For the $149 per night we paid we were well satisfied.
Nice Surprisefrom grapdad
Pretty Goodfrom frogs93013
Basic business hotelfrom Duckscribe
Wonderful Staff, Fantastic Service, Perfect Locationfrom GQSurfer8
Our room was decorated in a more modern style, but was roomy and bright. I had booked a room with a balcony and requested a room that had a view of Pasadena's ornate city hall as well. I'm glad that I did, the view was great and it didn't cost extra. Although the balcony was quite small it was large enough for my girlfriend and I to enjoy champagne and strawberries as we gazed upon the city of Pasadena and the San Gabriel mountains.
Where did the champagne and stawberries come from you ask? Well, to our suprise they were sent to our room with a handwritten card from the management wishing us a lovely Valentine's Weekend. What a great touch to a perfect weekend from a superb hotel.
The Westin's location is absolutely perfect. It is only a half of a block to city hall and half of a block to Colorado Boulevard, old Pasadena's main street where there are many tastey restaurants to eat at and enough shops and boutiques that will make any girlfriend happy. Because of the hotel's close location to many good restaurants (Bistro 45, Nonya, Villa Sorriso) and a cool wine bar (Bodega) we never ate at the hotel, but enjoyed experiencing some of Pasadena's best. Additionally the hotel is only a couple of minutes from the world-class Norton Simon Musuem and about ten minutes to the Huntington Library and Gardens.
For fanatastic service, a perfect location, and a great way to score some points with your girlfriend take her here and you surely will not be disappointed.
Needs to Improvefrom A TripAdvisor Member
This immediate area does not offer much in the way of quality hotels. Hopefully, the Pasadena Westin (a building converted from another hotel chain) will add more plush for the dollar.
Pasadena Now Has a Cool Hotelfrom hartss
My one gripe: they didn't leave my wake-up call. Otherwise, highly recommended.
Top Local Tips for Pasadena
Amazing Don't miss the Huntington Library. Major artwork and one of the most incredible gardens in the world.
Visit Old Town for the Food Take the hotel shuttle bus to Old Town if you don't like walking. For really inexpensive Italian, I go to Louise's in Old Town. There's a lot of other stuff too...try Noodle World if you want something exotic. If you're driving around, take a hike to Monterey Park or Alhambra, nearby cities where you'll get the best Chinese food in California (I'm serious). It's only about a 10-15 minute drive. The original Noodle World is in Alhambra I think. Go there if you feel adventurous. Dim sum is great too! Skip Chinatown for the food. Go to where the Chinese eat!
Don't miss the Green Street Restraunt Green Street Restraunt in Old Pasadena has a wonderful breakfast. It is a 15 minute walk from hotel but they will shuttle you their. Great Zuchinni bread and huge portions. It is on Lake Street.

WATERBURY — Hundreds of volunteers combed the streets, sidewalks and the Naugatuck River for trash Saturday to celebrate Earth Day.
Volunteers met at the Sears parking lot at 8:45 a.m., then dispersed throughout the city. Dozens of police explorers cleaned South Main Street and about 20 people picked up trash and debris from the Naugatuck River in two locations.

Fall Dance Concert -October 28, 2010
Concert To Feature Choreography By Students, Faculty and Renowned Choreographer David Dorfman; Several Pieces To Integrate Dance, Theater, Video and More
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA- October 28, 2010- The University of Virginia Dance Program and Department of Drama will once again extend the boundaries of how we think about dance with the Fall Experimental Dance Concert on November 11-13 at the Helms Theatre.
The concert, which will feature choreography by students, guest artists and students and the internationally renowned choreographer David Dorfman, will feature a variety of pieces that integrate elements of theater and video. Audiences should be ready for anything and everything on the Helms stage, from a piece that salutes some of the true masters of funk to others that incorporate everything from bicycles to large video screens, to another that takes "good taste" to a whole new level.
This Fall's Experimental Dance Concert will be presented November 11-13 at 8:00 pm, as well as November 13 at 2:00 pm. Single tickets can be purchased for $10 for Adults and Seniors, and $5 for UVA Students, Children, Faculty, Staff, and Alumni Association members.
Tickets are available online at www.artsboxoffice.virginia.edu or by calling 434-924-3376. Tickets may also be purchased in person at the U.Va. Arts Box Office, located in the lobby of the U.Va. Drama Building, Mondays through Fridays between noon and 5:00pm.
"My goal every semester is to challenge the students to integrate something else with dance," said U.Va. Dance Program Director Rose Pasquarello Beauchamp. "This year I thought it would be kind of fun and interesting to choose text or media or some other artistic element that must be included in the pieces. For so many of the dancers, it is scary to work with elements like text, and video. Many of them come from a background of straight dance, where you are not supposed to talk on stage, and can barely breathe on stage, never mind be yourself and talk and just be a person who is dancing with the audience."
The students had the rare opportunity to work with a choreographer known for incorporating these disparate elements into his work in David Dorfman. Raja Kelly and Meghan Bowden, performers in David Dorfman Dance, recently worked with the U.Va. dancers on "Prophets of Funk," a dynamic piece based on the music of Sly & the Family Stone. They spent some 20 hours working with the students and will return, along with Dorfman himself, to work on it again prior to the concert. "The piece brings out the funk in everyone," said student and dancer Jessica Smith, "even those who have to dig way deep to find it."
Beauchamp herself is responsible for one of the evening's most unique offerings. "People sit and watch dance through their kinesthetic sense and, of course, through their visual and auditory sense. I remember going to a show once where there were smells on stage and I was really interested in the idea of what happens when an audience has that to experience as well, Does it alter their experience?"
With that in mind, Beauchamp created a piece that is built around eating and feeding. "It sounds crazy but there will be food on stage, dancers will be eating and feeding each other and generally playing with movement that has to do with eating and biting and cooking. It is going to be a lot of fun."
Fun will be running theme for the concert, Beauchamp said, including a piece by student choreographer Jessica Smith in which dancers interact on stage with bicycles. "She will have three bikes on stage, and is working with this contrast of really slow, free modern dance movements set against the movements of the bicycles."
A pair of pieces will feature video, Beauchamp said, including one by student Cornelia Granberry, done and presented entirely on video, and another that will combine live dancers with video of dancers filmed in the space, from a variety of angles, thus doubling the number of dancers on stage and adding a unique perspective to their work.
Other highlights will include pieces by adjunct faculty members Susan Barnard and Jessica Barzell.
Free parking is provided in the Culbreth Road Parking garage, located next to the U.Va. Drama Building.

I have an older Lawn Boy Silver Series mower with the 6.5 horse, 2 - cylcle engine.
While some dislike the LB Silver models, this mower has run like a champ since I bought it new in '97. Up until this year, it has run just like the day I brought it home in the box.
It still purrs away when it is running, and almost always starts on the very first pull.
The problem that I am having is that it dies on occasion. It will be running perfectly, and then dies like it is out of gas, but without the starving of on-off-on-off when it finds just another drop of fuel. It'll run perfect one second, and the next second, it is dead as a door nail.
I normally run Amoco or Shell gas, that is advertised without ethanol, but have run cheap pump gas in years past, when I didn't know any better. I have ALWAYS used LB brand oil in the cans, and mix as if I were running a controlled experiment, not just mixing with the attitude of "good 'nuff".
A couple of symptoms that may or may not be a factor:
This mower, since new, has leaked fuel out of the top mounted exhaust, and onto the top of the deck when in the shed. If you leave fuel in the tank, there is a good chance that the tank will be empty a week later due to this leak. I have inspected the mower again and again, but cannot find any leak in the fuel lines...it has to be coming from the muffler.
Sometimes, but not always, on cold starting, the engine will race to high RPM's before settling back down to normal RPM's.
Sometimes, and I am not 100% sure on this...it acts like it is flooded when I try to restart it. It seems like throwing on the choke that it is easier to restart.
It also seems, and I could be imagining this, that the mower is prone to dying when it is pulled backwards. Not every time, but it seems like it dies a little more often pulling it backwards than it does just pushing it forward.
As well:
I appears that I have plenty of blue spark at the plug, which I have checked several times.
It also appears ever so slightly that I have a bit more smoke on start up after it dies than it should.
I suspect that the fuel is leaking into the cylinder. I just don't know where or how.
Any ideas? On-line forums that you might know of? Manuals or books that you can suggest?
I just need to figure out where to start with this mower.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!
Two cycles still have a carburator and if fuel is leaking when it is sitting, the float & needle is gummed up in the open position and letting the fuel run thru. Run it dry and it won't leak. Clean the carb [seafoam] and that should free up the float and needle valve.
Check the rings too and make sure all block bolts are tight..
Once the mower has died as described will it immediately restart or does it need to set awhile?

text: Written By Guest Writer Chefs / Folks Mar 16, 2012 Chef Profile: Executive Chef Mark Filatow of Kelowna's Waterfront Restaurant SHARE VIA: Facebook Twitter Pinterest Executive Chef Mark Filatrow with Restaurant Chef Wayne Morris Newly renovated and expanded Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar. Photo Credit: Jasmin Dosanj Executive Chef Mark Filatow of Kelowna's Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar is one of the Okanagan's top chefs, combining vast culinary talent and formidable wine knowledge. Quiet and unassuming, Mark is extremely focused in the kitchen, loved by his loyal staff and respected and liked amongst his peers. Mark was born into a family with a great appreciation for food. His European heritage provided a culinary melting pot of homemade Russian, Jewish, Ukrainian, German and Danish dishes. Growing up in Mississauga, Ontario, Mark was also influenced by his predominantly Italian neighborhood where the smell of grilled peppers was a signal that summer had arrived. After high school, he headed to the West Coast, skiing and working the lower ranks of the kitchens in Whistler. The University of British Columbia proved successful in the introduction to his wife but he switched to Dubrulle Culinary Institute after the realization that he preferred working in the campus kitchen. It was a smart move – he graduated from Dubrulle with honours. After a season as head-chef/dishwasher with a tree-planting crew to cover his student debt, Mark began his culinary apprentice in 1996 working with Chef Rod Butters at Tofino's Wickaninnish Inn. After two years, he headed back to Vancouver and worked for Chef John Bishop at Bishops Restaurant, followed by Diva at the Met Restaurant under Canadian Iron Chef, Michael Noble. In 2001, he again joined Chef Rod Butters along with Audrey Surrao, as part of the opening team of Kelowna's revolutionary fine-dining restaurant, Fresco (now the contemporary RauDZ) The dream of running his own restaurant came to fruition in November 2004 when he opened Kelowna's Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar, an instant success. Numerous awards followed including the prestigious ranking of one of Canada's Best New Restaurants by EnRoute Magazine and five consecutive years of Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence". In the restaurant world, where customers are often fickle and today's hotspot can be tomorrow's old news, Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar has stood the test of time. Mark takes pride in raising his family in the Okanagan and enjoys skiing with his family. Along with raising two young children, Mark mentors many young and upcoming chefs as well as running Details Catering. You can taste Mark's wonderful line of dips such as Smokey Eggplant Caponta in Kelowna at Okanagan Grocery Artisan Breads under the Details Catering label. Mark takes great pride in sourcing locally and working with small independent farmers. When he couldn't find local Russet potatoes, he managed to convince John Cox of Sweet Life Farm to grow them and today they are one of the farm's best selling spuds. Mark grows almost all of the restaurant's herbs and tomatoes on his small farm,"Eldorado". The farm also includes his much-loved Italian plum tree (yielding nearly two hundred pounds of fruit) and prized family heirloom Swedish brown beans. Menus change to reflect the best of the season and as one of only a handful of Canadian chefs that is a certified sommelier, the suggested food and wine pairings at Waterfront Restaurant are exceptional. For an insider's guide to some of the Okanagan's best wines simply follow Waterfront Restaurant's changing wine list. In March, after being closed for three months, Waterfront Restaurant and Wine Bar celebrates reopening following an expansion and renovation. Reservations may now be just a little easier to come by. Open Monday Through Saturday from 5pm. Closed Sundays. #104-1180 Sunset Drive, Kelowna.

Magical Dishes Inspired by "The Twelve Days of Christmas"
During this time of the year, you probably find yourself shopping, cooking, and trimming the tree with the songs of the season playing in the background. We decided to take a closer look at one of our favorite carols, "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and find some culinary inspiration. We ended up with a merry assortment of entrées and desserts that can be served throughout December, each echoing the refrains to those familiar lyrics: "On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

Martin Smith
The Delirious? frontman who propelled worship into the modern era is stepping out on his own.
April 11, 2013
After cresting the modern worship movement for not one but two decades, Delirious? chief Martin Smith is no stranger to the Christian music industry. But he wouldn't call it that—and perhaps that is what has led to his music's longstanding success. To Smith, worship is not an industry, but a future revival. And that, we learned in his conversation with us, is the sonic force behind his new solo album.

Rather than originally drafting documents, one can consult sample forms. Form books may include explanations, checklists and annotations to primary and secondary sources. Some jurisdictions have prescribed official forms, so consult a jurisdiction's practice guides and forms before using general guides and forms.
The Westlaw and Lexis tabs in this guide provide tips on how to search databases for forms.
The Pleading and Practice, Transactional, Ohio and Forms by Area of Law tabs list particular form book titles.
All form sets in this guide are current and up to date unless otherwise specified.

General Hints for Finding Forms on Lexis & Westlaw
- Form books on Lexis and Westlaw include forms and checklists. Checklists enumerate what should be in a document and/or list the steps in a transaction.
- Once you find a form on point it is sometimes a good idea to look at the table of contents. You can see if there are checklists, additional clauses, or an even more relevant form.
- Statutes sometimes contain the text of forms, e.g., deeds.
- Search the Title of the Form: Searching the TITLE field (TI in Westlaw) or HEADING segment (Lexis) can bring back the exact form you want, not just forms that mention your search terms somewhere in the text of the form.
- The Lexis HEADING field does not work in all databases. On Lexis Advance, there is a Post-filter for Form Type (Such as a will).
- On WestlawNext, do an Advanced Form search, and enter a terms and connectors search in the field for Form Title.
- Search words in the text of the form only, not comments: FO( ) or Form field search in WestlawNext finds words in the actual text of the forms, not surrounding comments or notes.

On Saturday, July 16th, there will be a family-friendly neighborhood event in Rancho Del Rey to launch the Energy Upgrade California - Community Savings Initiative, a new program that helps to make home energy upgrades more affordable and easy in Chula Vista. The project is funded through a federal grant and is being led by the California Center for Sustainable Energy, City of Chula Vista, South Bay Family YMCA, and other community partners.
The new initiative is designed to bring together Rancho Del Rey homeowners (initial area) who may be interested in making energy-saving upgrades to their properties. By joining together interested neighbors, homeowners can "group buy" to obtain better pricing for energy efficiency and solar home improvements and start lowering their utility bills immediately. The event will feature an "open house" to showcase the Gorski familyÆs home which recently received energy-saving improvements through the program.

Set the Precedent
Conservatives have much to be angry over, but we've never had a prominent spokesman
predict incite bloodshed.
Following the Michigan Democratic Congress and their tweet about "there will be blood," Jimmy Hoffa has doubled down and says there will be a civil war. All of this is over a right not to be forced to pay union dues that go directly to the DNC.
I do believe conservatives have a helluva lot more to be pissed about. So, has the precedent been set? Can we start shooting people yet? Just asking. I'm not seeing these words condemned by Mr. Obama.
Union president James Hoffa predicted a "civil war" would break out between Michigan unions and lawmakers in an interview on CNN's "Newsroom" today.

Even though the 7th Circle contains the violent members of Hell, I think a 10th Circle should be established for Union thugs.

Look away from the squirrel.
Hoffa is just doing the bidding of Leo Gerard.+3
No shooting, dang-it … with the shortage and price of ammo now-a-days it ain't worth the waste of any rounds on vermin. Besides, you're going to need all you have to defend what little you have now in the coming years of Obama…+3
Only 17.5% of Michigans workers are union thugs…Bring it on Jimmy…
Oh, and I found this gem:
Right-to-work states have done better in terms of growing jobs, according to State Budget Solutions, an advocacy group that supported the measure. Right-to-work states saw employment expand by 8.2% between 2001 and 2010, while those without the law experienced a 0.5% decrease, according to the group's analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics figures.+3
Don't expect Obama to even mention, much less decry, Hoffa's words. Leo Gerard, as an appointee to Obama's Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations, has no doubt told his bought-and-paid-for President to focus on the Fiscal Cliff and let him deal with the Tea Party.
"And no wonder people are occupying. We ought to be doing more than occupying parks. We ought to start occupying bridges. We ought to start occupying the banks, places themselves."–Leo Gerard, Obama-approved Appointee.+4
Hoffa, Foxx, Tarantino, SNL, Howard Dean all rallying the troops for race rioting and chaos. Of course they will offer you relief from the fear and violence.
Same strategy, new century. Communism.+4
Maybe that civil war should start with a Mixed Martial Arts match between Tony Camargo and Steven Crowder.
Somehow I feel Tony Camargo will become the biggest pussy the world has ever seen, when not having hundreds of his fellow Feral-Americans at his back.+2
The good news is that union workers are too damned lazy to keep it up for very long.
Gotta have a 30 min. break every 15 min. with free dope and Colt 45.+2
Obama built this class warfare. It is what he wanted and what he was trained for in Chicago. He's just waiting for the riots in the street so he can complete his transformation of America.+3
I look forward to watching the Civil War on tv from the warmth and comfort of my tv, with plenty of beer, and my shotgun resting within reach.0
