Resource Workforce Center opens in Henrico
Community leaders and elected officials from across the region gathered in eastern Henrico Sept. 24 to celebrate the opening of a new resource center for job-seekers that is the first of its kind in Central Virginia. The Resource Workforce Center, located just off Nine Mile Road at 121 Cedar Fork Road, is the first such center inthe area to serve both adults and older youth. Members of the federally funded Resource Workforce Investment Board, which works to increase private sector employment opportunities, joined in cutting the ribbon to mark the official opening and followed up with tours and information sessions led by center staff and community partners such as the Community College Workforce Alliance, Job Corps, Virginia Employment Commission, and Senior Connections. "It's such a beautiful day," exulted James Holland of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, chairman of the resource consortium of local elected officials, as he prepared to cut the ribbon at the entrance to the center. "We're having class outside!" In addition to serving as a one-stop job-shopping resource for the unemployed, disadvantaged adults and older youth, said Holland, the center will also assist the underemployed. "You may have a job," he noted. "But do you have a career?" The center will help entrepreneurs as well, through a program known as resource business solutions that asks the leadership from various companies, "What do you need to expand?" Among the companies that have expressed interest in such assistance are a growing food supply company and a railroad company losing workers to retirement. But "first and foremost," said Holland, "[the center] will offer those who come a friendly face." Deborah Wickham, chairman of the Resource Workforce Investment Board, noted that a great deal of research has gone into locating centers where they can best serve the more than one million citizens in the area's member jurisdictions, which include the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent, Powhatan as well as the City of Richmond. One of three area workforce centers (the others are in Chesterfield County and South Richmond, with a fourth opening soon near downtown Richmond), the 20,000 square-foot center replaces one less than half its size on Williamsburg Road. "Eastern Richmond and Henrico contain some of the highest concentrations of poverty in our region," Holland pointed out, "and so we are opening this center where it is most needed." Representatives of various organizations began their tours in the reception area, which features kiosks for easy registration and space for one or more police officers on site. Among features of the dedicated space for youth are computer labs and stations for resume writing, as well as facilities housing the Resource Youth Network's out-of-school program, the GOALS Institute. The converted building, formerly a Verizon call center, also boasts a large conference room, a resource room that can be used to access the internet for job searches, and access to printers and faxes for submitting job applications and resumes. Center staff offer job seeker services such as resume reviews, skills assessment, career counseling, mock interviews, and for individuals who qualify, intensive training that may include free tuition to local educational institutions. "It's all about connecting people with partnerships and working together," said Holland. "It will come to fruition." Frank Thornton of the Henrico County Board of Supervisors, whose Fairfield District includes the new center, described similar visions for the site as he prepared for the ribbon-cutting. "This will be a venue of collegiality," Thornton said. "Of service to our people." "You've heard of no wine before its time?" he asked. "Our time has arrived." Snipping the ribbon, Holland added emphasis with a flourish and triumphantly held the scissors aloft. "It's open!" announced Holland. "Go forth and prosper!"

Homestander: One Hand, No Hits
Miller Park, Off-Base May 2nd, 2013
Each Thursday preceding Brewers weekend home stands, Tyler Maas will help prepare fans for all elements of the upcoming series with the Homestander. Tyler prints Wisconsin-themed shirts at Forward Fabrics and contributes to such fine publications as Milwaukee Magazine and The A.V. Club Milwaukee. All views, naughty words and weirdo sentiments are his own. Follow him at @TylerJamesMaas and watch him embarrass himself at Miller Park Drunk's Pants Party 3D on June 23.
In my 28-plus years on this planet, I'd estimate I've attended approximately 150 or so Major League Baseball games--roughly an entire season's worth of games. Thanks to proximity to the Miller Park, friends who love going to games and likely not being able to get a girl pregnant due to a perfect storm of looking as I do, binge-drinking Lo-Carb Monster and often resting my laptop on my crotch, I get to the park more than the average American. I mean, it's not like I'm in my mid- to late-40s and get to drive 200 combined miles 50 to 60 times a year to watch games alone while my spouse stays home with my kids, but I've still been pretty fortunate to witness as many baseball games as I have in my life.
In games I've attended, I've seen tons of Major League debuts, Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks' first home runs (same game!), first hits, five stadiums in as many states, fist fights, dramatic game-winning plays, crippling bullpen collapses, a 40-something biker lady whip out a breast, the bottom of countless helmet bowls, a Brooks Kieschnick pinch hit HR, and enough people doing the wave to make me absolutely lose faith in humanity. I think I once saw Ken Macha move! I've seen some great things and am lucky to have a baseball stadium serve as the background to many of my most prevalent and joyus memories in my life. But there's one thing I've never seen that I desperately want to, and--no matter how many hundred additional games I attend--might never see: a no-hitter.
If my math is correct, there are 4,860 regular season no-hitter opportunities. Once the playoffs are through, MLB starting pitchers will have more than 4,900 combined chances to accomplish the feat. At this point, there have only been 279 no-hitters in MLB history (280 if Jim Joyce was never born), so it's admittedly not a very common event. Still, of all teams in baseball (excluding the Nationals, who are basically the Expos, which have four no-nos in their history), the Brewers and the Mets have the fewest. That Brewers no-hitter by Juan Nieves--which Bill Schroeder caught. I don't know if he's ever mentioned it--in 1987 is one less than the no-no tallies of the Brooklyn Superbas, Washington Senators and Providence Grays and five fewer than the St. Louis Browns--six fewer than Nolan Ryan on his lonesome. Someone named Steve Busby even tossed one more no-hitter than the entire Brewers franchise has. In fact, one was against Milwaukee.
Milwaukee has been no-hit thrice (1974, 1994 and 2007), but never in a home game when I was alive. Pitchers with Brewers connections, such as Chris Bosio, Hideo Nomo (twice) and Jim Abbott has tossed no-nos, but never in a Brew Crew uniform. Carlos Zombrano threw one at Miller Park when the hurricane-displaced Houston Astros were using it as the team's "Home" stadium and I almost went, but lived in Appleton at the time and decided against buying tickets the morning of. Really, to see a no-hitter is special because it's a perfect recipe of skill, luck, circumstance and a silently thickening atmosphere around the approaching milestone. Once a pitcher (Brewer or otherwise) tosses five clear frames at a game I'm attending, I allow myself to imagine that this might be the game I see my no-hitter and have a story about being there when some asshole like Eric Stults no hit my Brewers in a fairly meaningless contest. In the 9th, I'd openly root for an opposing pitcher to no-hit Milwaukee (excluding elimination games). I don't care. So in addition to the game itself and the periphery joys of tailgating, hearing "Return Of The Mack", seeing mini-milestones, gross boob flashing, 50/50 frozen margaritas and laughing when somebody fucks up a simple trivia question, I go and will continue to go to games with the unlikely, but ever-present hope of witnessing a no-hitter.

Vertical Zigzag Bodycon Dress
Style # 215370
Textured tribal-inspired pattern and lightweight but discreet stretch make this bebe dress a flirty day-to-night choice. Try yours with a pair of studded heels and a moto jacket to give it an edgy pop.
- 92% nylon, 8% spandex
- Center back to hem: 29" (74 cm)
- Machine wash according to care label
- Made in USA
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Vertical Zigzag Bodycon Dress
Don't buy -- so small
Bought a small/medium. Normally wear a size small. bought a bigger size, anticipating the dress would run extra small......this dress is made for a doll. No way could a normal human wear it. DON'T BUY IT!!!!
December 2, 2013
Not in love
I probably should have checked this out in store before purchasing online because the material is very different than other bebe bodycon dresses. It's much thicker (which can be a good thing for some) but it's not for me, especially in a warmer state. The fit is similar, but I just don't like how the dress looked or felt. I prefer the more clingy, thin material. This dress is probably better on a thicker frame and for cooler temperatures. I'm also not impressed with the neckline. It's really high, almost crew neck with no flattery. Shame, because I really love the cap sleeve style which is great for any kind of bra, but I just didn't care for the style or the thick material.
October 24, 2013
Flattering and sexy
The tribal pattern on this dress is great, but the fabric is, like all the bodycon dresses, I suppose, a little too clingy and the length too short for me. Though I have the petite and trim frame to rock this style, for my age group I prefer some of the less provocative pieces.

That was using photobucket supplied url. (right clicked on picture in photobucket and picked url address) now test 2....using attachments option at bottom of page and selecting a photo from my computer (as karen says---it has to be the smaller size).
And now I see that everyone already did the photo talking... oh well. I was in a hurry because the roof guy was suppose to get here but now I'm wondering if he is going to show up.
Virginia-- older houses (at least in these parts) were built on pier and beam (up off of the ground). piers where sunk into the ground for support. Now days they build the houses on concrete slabs.
5:30 a.m. --I bet there are complaints to the major or who ever.
I am here. Laptop broke last so I am on the Kindle.
Virginia,good news about Bill.
Nat, good to hear that Paul`s periscope went well.
Belle decided to turn on the lamp this morning at 6 to wake me up.
Sharona, I will send Belle to you so you can get up on time.
I ordered Belle a cat climber that is 5 feet 10 inches. Taller than me.
Pretty birdie Marlene.
Hi Yall...
Sooo...Carol...I understand Prince Charles came to visit you and you sent some kid to take his pic! There you go...spoiling Belle already! A nearly six foot climber?
Sharona...I have some gorgeous Italian linen...embroidered, cutwork, drawnwork...all kinds...LOVE 'em. And...I also have one from your town....remember? I'll see if I can find some pics to post.
Virginia...so glad Bill is getting better. Yes, prayers definitely work!
Sooo...Nat came down off the mountain, eh...bout time.
Doris is NOT a klutz...I think she is my old new friend! (Loved that quote).
Marlene those rats don't have a chance...sounds like you are getting everything in order down there. Once you have that all taken care of, you can run around in the Chinook!
Laureen...sounds like you are RED-EE to go. Good that Rick helps out a lot.
Hope you get to see Kim.
Poor Karen...only one more party to go....what will you ever do then?
Kimmy...how is the prep coming for the big clan gathering??
Dee and Joanie...how are the cookies coming?
Maybe we will ALL need to go the South Beach way on Jan1????!!
Where is CJ?
Well...we went to our annual derm exam this am...all skin is doing great!
My BP was REALLY high... think even higher than it was at my Dr. appt. Just don't know quite what to do...but 208/105 is NOT good!
We had a bowl of my Chicken soup...always better the second (or third day)...and now we are going to go do a bit of shopping. Methinks we are giving the kids almost too many gift cards...but...Christmas is only once a year!!!
Hugs to all...(( )), Rags
Well gosh, how easy was that? I was trying to make it difficult by clicking on the tree icon. I was afraid we still had to use Photobucket.Anyway, here is my Elf on a Shelf. It's Bradley! He's my 10-year-old and he has no idea about the whole Elf on a Shelf deal. We just told him to get up there and "do this," or "do that," and he did!
I went to WalMart to get a few Christmas lights for decorations. They had white hydrangea on sale for 10 bucks! They also had poinsettia for 2.50! My decorations are done.
I have an appointment for a massage and chiropractic adjustment at 5:15, then I'm going to go finish buying foodstuff.
I lost a contract, you guys. There was a mix-up regarding federal requirements and they don't need me. This party may be the last hoo-rah for the Jones family. Keep us in your prayers that we'll get enough work to keep beans and cornbread on the table.
Love the picture, Kimmie. He's a riot!
What a bummer about the contract. I'll be thinking and praying for you that you don't starve to death but manage to pick up another contract soon. I like your decorations = I looked at the poinsettias at Walmart today but they were 4.99 and 3/4 dead. No thanks.
love the pic Kimmie, did you post it here because I gave you the greatest instructions???? Do you want me to come and break legs re the contract? I am on my way.... I will send you some beans, when they are on sale....love ya.
Evening. Figured I better do this while I have a chance. Before long the "all nighter" will begin. Gotta wait till DH falls asleep! LOL!
Virginia I have been using the copy and then paste method when I don't get the submit reply button. Usually after 3 tries or so I get it and the post is even still there. Strange!. So glad to hear that Bill is doing better. Been there and done that with DH and it's not fun. I hope he just continues to progress.
No pointsettas at this house cause I believe they are poisonous to cats and Fion wouldn't leave them alone. I am so "ready" to go just not ready to "pack and go"! LOL! DH got the oil changed and the car unloaded from all of his "stuff" and wrapped some of the gifts. He can finish them while I finish packing clothes, meds, food etc. Gotta get the phones, tablets, Kindle and laptop charged and packed up. Am just so glad DH's foot is looking so much better. Don't have to worry about it now. Looks like we may get the phone situation straightened out when we get back also. He finally talked to someone who made sense but has to take it further up the chain.
Kimmie love the picture. Saw it on FB also. Gavin would do the same thing for a good laugh. He knows about the Elf on a shelf though cause they've had one. Don't know if he's around this year or not. If so he'll probably be coming with us! LOL!
Marlene I hope you get rid of those rats once and for all. I wouldn't like hearing them either. Would give me the willies!
Karen sorry to hear you only have 1 party left. What will you do for 3 days with no party??? Glad to hear DD wants to spend some time with her not so little brother! Have a safe trip there and enjoy the grand kids. How long will you stay?
Rags what are we going to do about that blood pressure? How are the kidneys? I know I have to diet before and after these holidays. Didn't do too bad at the luncheon today considering, though I did have desert.
Gosh Carol Belle is so talented she can turn on lights? Smart kitty. Fion got a present for Christmas from is brother panther today! LOL! One of my nurses' has his brother so gave us a kitty food mat.
Sharon, congrats on the eye. Of course we always want it to be all better, but 60% is good. Do you notice it a lot? When you talk about the morning bells (I'm assuming) in a neighborhood in Detroit there was legal stuff going on about the "calling" to the church that I think a muslim group does around 11 AM every day. I'm not sure how it turned out, will have to work it out. I keep thinking they won because of religious freedom.
Doris what are you doing for Christmas?
Well best get going or I'll never get to bed. Didn't get home from the hair cut and color till 8 PM so gotta eat and pack and then clean up some!
Hope you all have a great day. Will stop in sometime tomorrow if only on the tablet.
Oh. I'd better get rid of those poinsettias as goody bags after the party so Shiloh and Mick-Mack don't get into it.
Doris, we spoke of you on Facebook. Not Nat.
And I'm sure you only mention good people and good things!!
You know my GREAT culinary creations - I'm going to attempt to post the picture of the creation from my DGD that she made with her other grandmother.
Guess it runs in the family.
But, I did get it posted thanks to the directions from a few people besides Nat.
Love love photos.
It was quiet this morning. The priest who lives on my street said he was going to have a "little" talk with Padre Salvatore. It was more than bells...music and the entire service. The music was blasted for 30 minutes before the service.
Good travels and fun Christmas vacation to Laureen. Big "Laureen" family vacation. Sounds like a movie.
Heading out for a tooth extraction at noon. Hopefully this one goes as well as the other one did.
Kim..how did you know what we are having for lunch??
Morning ladies.
Sharona, great news about your eye. It's a shame that Belle won't be getting an Italian cousin.
Rags, I didn't know that Chuck was coming to Stevenage, the rotter. Why is your bp so high?
Cute elf Kim. Sorry about the contract.
Doris, you is such a good sister praying that Kim doesn't starve.
Fion is a lucky kitty. You are sooo ready to go on vacation Laureen.
Oh, oh, a moment to pause to grieve fir only 1 more party for Karen.
Cute house Doris. It is a house?
Laureen, who takes care of the cats?
Kimmie, thanks for not mentioning moi on fb...you can mention Doris all you want...and you are welcome on how I taught you and da udder one how to post pictures.
And Doris, that gingerbread house don't look nuttin like the picture...
Good morning ladies,
I had a wonderful time at our card party. I got a very funny gift in the exchange. It was an apron with Michelangelo's David. I'll have to send a pic of it. I didn't win any prize at cards but won $33 at the Left Right Center game!!! This was my first time winning at this.
Today is my final party. It is my College Club. I don't have to cook since everything will be catered. I just have to bring a $10 gift for exchange.
Marlene I hope the roof man came. My DH puts poison in our attic, crawl space and garage to make sure we don't get any of those foul creatures in our house. It has worked so far.
Carol will you be able to get your computer fix?
Sharon glad your eye has recovered. I hope the priest gets some of the loud noise to a minimum. I also hope that Andy gets that tooth out!
Rags my last party. I love going to them but get tired of too many of them all at one time. I think I will rest.
Laureen I will be at DD's house on Sunday and leave on Thurs. Enjoy yourself and don't tire yourself too much.
Kimmie I just loved your Elf on a Shelf pic. I had to laugh that he didn't know about the elf. My nephews know all about it since their mother puts him everywhere. I know you will be back on your feet with your business. I don't think I will need to send you beans and cornbread. lol I will pray that you get lots of work.
Diva D your dgd's gingerbread house she made with her other grandma looks like it was eaten in parts.
Have a good one,
Karen, have fun. No, I won't be getting it fixed. The battery died months ago so it had to be plugged in all the time I used it and a new battery is so expensive that buying another one would be almost cheaper.
Nat, why can't your name be mentioned on FB? Is you on the run?
She can't be mentioned on FB because nobody ever has anything good to say about her.
Sounds like some really bad weather is headed everywhere from possible tornados, sleet, wind, ice, snow, etc. Everyone be very careful when you're traveling.
Got some minor work done today on electric and will have the 30 amp plug put in tomorrow. the plumber did some minor work too. Will have to order the new Toto toilet and schedule another appt. The roof guy who is a friend of a friend and showed up at around 11 yesterday and plans on thinking about the best way to keep the sunroom from leaking.
I don't plan on going anywhere out of town. I will probably join a group of friends who are doing a dinner on Christmas and I will take the requested homemade whole wheat rolls. You party animals have fun and we will all have to get with it after the holidays. I'm thinking I will start a 3 week cleaning diet for the new year.
Marlene - we are supposed to get 3 to 5 inches of rain this weekend. Sure glad it isn't supposed to be below freezing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hope none of us get that much more snow. Our last snow disappeared today!! Goody, Goody, Two-Shoes.
Hi ladies,
Just a quick note to let you know that I made it to my party and had a wonderful time once again. I got as an exchanged gift a broken latched bracelet and beautiful poinsettia.
We are taking Harry and Elisabeth out for lunch. He wants to go to Captain Dee. I could find a better place to eat at.
Carol you are right about the cost.
Diva D be nice to your sis.
Marlene I will need to do a 3 wk cleaning diet too!
Good morning! Where is everybody? Nat, I toldja not to send me snow! We got about 3 inches of it overnight and it's freezing out! Sure looks pretty and Christmassy though. The schools are closed and the weatherman told the kids to get out there this morning and build a snowman, cause it's going to melt this afternoon.
We had friends over last night and we had a great time drinking wine and eating Christmas goodies. Lucky they just live up the road a little way so didn't have to drive far.
That's a great way to celebrate Joanie...with a few good friends and good eats. Was the fireplace burning?
Mr. Mint is sweeping my kitchen. The friend's friend put a tarp on my sunroom as rain is coming. I'm wondering silently if it will stay since high winds are expected too. And the electrician is on his way so I will say goodbye for now.
How many are expecting tornado watches? I know it from Texas up toward TN.
Yes, our fireplace was burning and it was snowing, so it looked beautiful.
Do you think everyone has had storms, Marlene? No one else has posted except Karen.
I'm here and safe. Karen & I have beautiful weather - cloudy & sort of misty but in the 60's. Our rain starts tonight or tomorrow.
You are making me jealous that my fireplace is not up to work. It is too small for the size of the chimney (or some reason) and really smokes badly so I haven't used it in years. In fact now there is a thing over the top of the chimney to keep the birds and squirrels from coming down or should I say trying to come down.
Marlene - as we talk my Mint is trying to conquer some of the cat hair upstairs. My DD may be coming for Christmas and she is allergic to the cat. That is why I ended up with her although my Son in law called and said that their other cat was killed by a car this morning and he is afraid they might want my cat back.
Have a great day all. Doris
ok, trying to get in , let's see
Evening everyone. We are having a rainy, misty time here. It has warmed up a lot, in the low 50's today! Most of the snow is gone and rain is heading in.
What are your weekend plans? G is here spending the night so DD can *Santa gift wrap* tonights. Tomorrow we will go to the movies to see the 3D Dinosaur movie. Not much else planned for the weekend because the traffic is awful here. Just so many people out and about that I don't care to get into the madness at all.
I spent the day with BF today. We had breakfast and then a later lunch. Coming home I got so sick in the car, thank goodness for a Target shopping bag is all I can say! If you know what I mean. Feeling much better tonight thank goodness.
We are going to watch Despicable Me2 tonight. I love this movie! Nite, Dee
Joanie--fireplace, snow, friends, good eats. Even better.
the weather channel was predicting all the bad weather for the start of next week. Something about a southeasterly storm meeting the "Alaskan" Canadian front and causing havoc. I usually don't watch the weather so I'm not usually wondering about it. It's clouded up today and some wind blew in but that's all.
Bad day. The Electrician wired up a plug for the RV and when I plugged it in, it made the RV's electric system smoke, make bad noises, and stop working. I researched and then the electrician (certified) confirmed that he had made a mistake and wired the plug for 240 instead of 120 watts. The company said to take it to an RV repair shop, and they will make it good. An RV repair place told be that It may just be the converter that they burned up but anything in the RV that was plugged in could also be fried also. Microwave, tv. radio, etc. etc. I'm plenty upset about it but humans make mistakes and I'm trying to just go with the flow. I really really really have bad luck with workmen. Now i have a fried RV.......but they said they would make it good.
so nat you got in. No comments?
Plenty slow on this site. So much Christmas celebration is going on. Most of all my neighbors have left town. I'm wondering if I'm the only one left of the block lols.
Well we made it without any problems. Weather wasn't bad, a little wind and a little rain. It was the getting ready that was the hard part. Only had 4 hours of sleep getting it all together and then Thursday the day we left, Sprint called and said they'd let us out of our contract without any charges, but we had to change services by next Friday or we'd lose our phone numbers or be charged an additional month. So DH ended up going to Verizon, picking out phones and a plan before loading up the car to come and get me. Only drove to Cincinnati before stopping for the night. Figured if we got up early we could miss rush hour which we did through most of the big cities. Pulled in here at 5 PM. Will leave tomorrow AM for Kissimee. DS#2 and wife get in about 6 PM or so and are renting a car. We did tell the kids tonight where we are going. Elaina is the most excited. Gavin I don't think he has a clue as to what to expect. DDIL is so afraid she's going to miss something and that she should see it all and not waste any time or money! LOL! I told her we hit the main things and what ever is of interest along the way. DS remembers buying the Goofy hat for my dad at the age of 7 down there and he is now 37! We brought it out as my "sun hat for her dad to prevent his forehead from getting burned!"
Marlene sorry to hear about the RV! You are taking it well. They have to make good on it. I sure do hope that it didn't fry the other things though. Glad you are getting together with friends for Christmas.
Sharon was it you or Andy who was getting the tooth pulled? I'm hoping it was Andy finally! Nice of the priest to tell them to decrease the music. Hate to call it noise because I'm sure it's beautiful, just exhausting and "too much".
Carol sorry to hear about the laptop. Thank goodness for tablets, though I don't think they are as easy to use as a laptop. But it's one of the reasons I let DH get me one. I'm prepared if this thing ever dies. Have you posted the picture of Aiden with Santa and his sister anywhere yet where I can see it?
Nat and Doris, tis the season to get along and be nice and complimentary to each other. Nat glad you could get back on. Betty, my 82 year old housekeeper comes and stays with the cats while we are gone and cleans the house too so I come home to clean house before heading back to work. This time she brought BeeBee with her cause she can't leave her home alone so I'm sure Fion will get his nose out of joint. Hope they don't fight too much!
Doris sorry to hear about the cat getting killed. Wondering if DD will let them bring the cat back if her allergies are that bad. Would you be upset if they wanted to take her back?
Joanie, your scenario sounded just lovely with wine, friends and snow and a fireplace! When is your DD coming in? You can keep the snow there too. I'm enjoying these 70 degrees temps and I hear it will be 80 when we are down there. Hope the weather will be good for the drive home too for all of us.
Congrats on winning the money Karen. So are you now done partying? I think you are leaving soon too so have a safe drive and enjoy the grandchildren.
Kim, I'll FB message you my phone number so maybe we can hook up at some point in a couple of days. Not too sure of how far away you are. My DDIL would like to touch base with you also as for Christmas DS got her a little pistol to carry when she is running. She'd like to talk to someone else who does too and when she asks about it on a running page on line, they always delete her question.
Virginia are you ready for Christmas? Did you ever find a home for that kitty or is she still at your house?
Well gotta get some sleep cause we have a 7 hour trip ahead of us and then all the unpacking excitement etc. Plus the kids can't wait to see Uncle Aaron & Aunt Ellie. Gavin has their picture in his bedroom cause they sent a picture of themselves as a Christmas card. LOL!
Will probably stop back in sometime tomorrow night. Will see how she goes. Have a great day everyone!
Congrats so far on the trip, Laureen. Dats a lot of driving.
Marlene, so sorry for the news but now you will have all fixed up stuff in the RV. They should keep up their end of the bargain.
It is DD who would want the cat even tho she is allergic to them. I wouldn't care either way since it is them.
Nat, you are so lovely, beautiful, wonderful, charming, polite, gracious, fantastic, innovative, hard working, helpful and lots of other stuff. Well, they told me I had to be nice to you. Hmmm.
Good morning/afternoon,
Marlene...yikes a roni. I am glad they are going to make good on this mess. Andy dropped my mouse on the floor and broke it and then replaced it with a cheapo...that messed me up. But, I am now going to do a "Marlene" and stay calm. Just gonna order me a better one. Thanks for posting and giving me a better attitude.
Journal everything Laureen and take lots of photos.
Just a quick note. It is early and I haven't started my "to do" list for today. I have been reading your comments but haven't had time to comment. I thought once my shopping was done I could coast until the 25th. You would think at my age, I would know better!! LOL Now the predictions of a winter storm coming tonight and ice all day yesterday has forced me to halt any running around and stay home. We took Mom to her beauty shop appt and K walked her to the door yesterday. the main streets were wet but side streets and the country road were ice!! We could get 6" or more of snow through tomorrow.
So excited for you Laureen! Enjoy this special time with your family and treasure those moments with your grands!
Marlene - I can't imagine what it must be like to be fighting rats in your attic. Good luck with repairs to your RV.
Doris - 60 degree?? Do you live in the tropics??? Lucky you!!
Sharon - hope your town has quieted down and the tooth problem is fixed.
Joanie - the evening with your neighbors - snowing, fireplace, good friends and food - sounds wonderful!!
You all have a wonderful Saturday. Hello to the ones I didn't mention. I enjoy reading all your comments. I will be reading hopefully daily, but not sure when I will have time to chat again, but soon I hope.
until next time,
Quick reply.
Doris, I am so sorry to hear that the other cat died but possession is 9 10this of the law. That cat is yours.
Marlene, I am with you. Except for maybe going out on Tuesday to get a newspaper I won't be going anywhere until next Saturday. We're supposed to be getting lots of rain and wind. Oh no! Your poor RV.
Karen, how was lunch? Did you go to Captain Dee?
Laureen, you seem to be making good time.
So yesterday BFF and I went 2towns over to go to a good supermarket. Right. No parking spots. Soo we went to another one, Lidl, which is like Aldi. Was disappointed and just bought sweet pointed peppers. Then a little further on the parking lot is another supermarket and went shopping. We made sure that we bought potatoes because last year we couldn't find any in 2 supermarket s. I was so pooped, I had run out of spoons.
Laureen, bummer about your transmission. Hope they aren't making you pay for that.
Doris, I agree with Carola. That is your cat, and they should adopt a new one from a shelter. There are more than enough cats to go around!
Gotta go to choir practice this afternoon to practice for our big Lessons and Carols service tomorrow morning. I am singing a very modern arrangement of "Silent Night" with fancy piano accompaniment on Christmas Eve. Roger is going to video it at practice today so I can hear how it sounds.
Oh Joannie - I hope we get to hear the practice too.
The problem with the cat situation is that this was my DGDs first cat and I've only had her since the summer. Frankly, she is so aloof that I really might be happier with a kitten I could do something with. I'm just waiting to see what is said since they haven't mentioned it again.
It is such a dismal, rainy day that it is really sort of depressing. I can't seem to get any get-up-and-go. Hope you aren't bothered with flooding, Karen. My basement is getting wet but nothing too bad. There is a floor drain so it doesn't accumulate. How are the dogs doing? Happy to be back home, I bet.

"People have always called me Big Rob," said Robert Sanders, Cleveland alderman and current Mississippi Valley State University police chief.
"I'm 6'6" and sometimes people are intimidated by my height and size, but once they have a chance to interact with me, people see I'm just a guy with a big heart with concern for others."
And Sanders's biography is as intriguing as his stature.
The Shaw native first made a name for himself on the basketball court, bringing statewide attention to the Shaw High Hawks by making it to division championship games in 1979 and 1980.
His skills led to stardom at Mississippi Valley State University where he was recognized as a two-time All-American and all-conference player before graduating in 1984.
The campus of MSVU was rocking with the success of Sanders on the court and fraternity brother Jerry Rice on the football field.
For a long time, Sanders was sure basketball would be his only career — he even signed as a free agent rookie with the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association.
While he never made a regular season NBA roster, Sanders spent four years in Europe and South America developing his game.
"I have nothing but good memories from playing ball in Holland and Argentina," said Sanders. "It was such a learning experience."
But the Delta roots within Sanders and his wife, Tracey, who also joined him abroad, lured the young couple back to their home state.
"The Mississippi Delta is where I'm from," said Sanders. "Playing basketball and traveling were great opportunities, but leaving for a while and coming back made me appreciate life here even more."
He returned for a short stint of coaching and teaching at Shaw High before transitioning to a long-time career of public service.
"I always had an interest in law enforcement, which is why I'm extremely thankful for former Sheriff H.M. "Mack" Grimmett for giving me my first deputy job with the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department in 1988.
"Growing up in the Delta means you are going to face challenges — as I did. But I've learned to use the challenges as motivation to make things better."
So a commitment to better Cleveland, the county and state has been Sanders' driving force for 25 years.
During this time he has served in many capacities, including: police officer with the Cleveland Police Department, chief of police in Shaw, D.A.R.E. officer in Cleveland and sergeant-at-arms in the Mississippi State Senate in Jackson.
"Serving as the sergeant-at-arms for four years was one of the highlights of my career because it was truly an honor to protect the lieutenant governor, state senators and the staff.
"The position also gave me insight and broadened my skills to come back and offer my services to the citizens within the Cleveland community.
Working hand-in-hand with state politicians encouraged Sanders to run for Cleveland Board of Alderman, where he has represented Ward 2 since 2009.
"Being on the board is about improving the quality of life for everyone in Cleveland," he said. "This means we hear the concerns of all citizens and help lead the way as problem solvers.
"I think our town has come a long way and we've seen substantial growth — from the upcoming Grammy museum, the baseball World Series, downtown business development, walking and biking trails, parks and even our streets and sewage systems.
"Cleveland is one of the best cities to live in because we have great citizens and leaders."
Sanders continues to dedicate his time as a quality local leader and shows no signs of slowing down.
"I look forward to serving our city as an alderman and any other capacity deemed necessary.
The secret to his dedication and success — his wife, who he met as a student in 1979 when his Shaw Hawks basketball team came to Cleveland to play the Wildcats.
"Tracey's been by my side every step of the way," Sanders said. "She's fascinating and has helped me get through everything I've done in life."
The couple raised their three daughters in Cleveland, a town they will forever love, serve and protect.

Sturgill Simpson's 'Metamodern Sounds in Country Music' arrived Tuesday on his own High Top Mountain Records.
- Filed Under
A few days after the release of his second album, "Metamodern Sounds in Country Music," the Sturgill Simpson narrative is well-worn.
He's a country singer, no doubt. But he's not that kind of country singer - the one strutting on a catwalk in tight jeans, leading sing-alongs about frost-brewed beverages or a fondness for unwashed automobiles.
Instead, on both his 2013 debut "High Top Mountain" and his latest, he's presenting songs on age-old topics like heartache and life on the road, and doing so with a deep delivery that evokes Waylon Jennings. ...

Get fit and firm faster—and lose up to 2 sizes in 8 weeks!
If your New Year's resolution engine needs a little revving—or could use a total jump start—you've turned to the right article: You can hit your fitness goal faster than you ever believed with this turbocharged plan guaranteed to melt fat and slash inches—in under 30 minutes a day. The secret: 3-in-1 toning moves that pair resistance bands with dumbbells. Research shows that this killer combo builds strength 3 times faster than standard issue dumbbell exercises alone. But we didn't stop there. To speed your slim-down, we've added calorie-torching walking intervals and a waist-whittling eating plan. A few times a week, you'll also do 20 to 30 minutes of whichever type of exercise you like best.
We know this approach works because we asked exercise scientists to test the program on 12 real women for 2 months. Not only did they get stronger and more shapely, but they lost up to 6 pounds in 3 weeks and up to 11 pounds by the end of the program.
Lose More Weight in Less Time
Want to shorten your workout time and get even better results? Alternate bursts of power walking with ones at a slowed-down pace. It increases the number of your mitochondria, the powerhouses in cells that convert fat to energy. The result: You burn more calories, even while you sleep.
Your Fat-Blast Interval Workout
Gauge your effort level on a scale of 1 to 10: "1" is sitting on the couch; "10" is sprinting as hard as you can.
Warm-up 5 minutes 4-5
Intervals 19 minutes Alternate
Cool-down 2 minutes 4-5
Alternate between 1 minute at a 7-8 effort level followed by 1 minute at a 5-6 effort level.

I Want To Treat My Acne At Home
This is a perfectly feasible idea, depending on the severity of the problem. Should the acne be mild to moderate, you will probably find that over the counter meds will suffice. One cautionary note – If you have large cysts, you really should see a specialist as there is a very real risk of permenant scarring should the cysts rupture. In these cases, the only effective way to remove the scars is through laser treatment. To know more read the post of this guy.
Begin by looking out for products with ingredients like Benzoyl Peroxide. Start off with low dose treatments – you can always upgrade later. A cleanser is essential. A moisturizer is a good idea – as long as it is water-based and not too rich. A very gentle scrub is also a good idea – you would really only use it twice a week but it can help to clear out dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover. The key to success with these products is to choose gentle ones that will work without further inflaming the acne.
Look out for drying ingredients in terms of these products and avoid them. Gel cleansers may contain alcohol and are very drying. If going the natural route, look to rose water as opposed to witch hazel – the latter will dry your skin. If, after cleansing, you skin feels tight, you are not using the right product. Initially, these products may cause a tingly feeling – that is perfectly normal and will disappear once your skin is used to the products. If, however, it has been a couple of weeks and the skin still tingles, it may time to consider something else – the formulation may be too strong.
Once you have your little goodie bag, you need to work a good cleansing routine into your schedule. Contrary to popular believe, washing your face over and over again will not clear the acne. Wash your face once in the morning and once in the evening. Any more than that and you are stripping the skin of all its natural protective oils and risking having it become very dry and even more unmanageable. The idea is to help the skin help, not to completely kill it. Twice a week, apply the scub gently. Moisturize after each cleanse.
An important aspect most of us overlook is the application of sunscreen. Make sure to choose one that will not clog the pores and one that is targeted at oily skin. The sun is very damaging to your skin and, although it appears to clear acne, too much exposure can actually lay the path for future breakouts. Remember to apply sunscreen about a half an hour before leaving home and periodically throughout the day.
By following this advice, you are laying the groundwork for a vastly improved, clear skin.

Duke's Muslim chaplain to give opening prayers at US house
DURHAM –- Duke University's Muslim chaplain, Abdullah T. Antepli, will deliver the opening prayer for the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., at 10 a.m. March 3.
Antepli is serving as guest chaplain at the invitation of U.S. Rep. David Price.
"I am deeply humbled and honored to be asked to give this opening prayer. It is a great honor for me and for Duke University," Antepli said in a news release. "It's wonderful that Congress, through their invitation, is acknowledging Duke's commitment to diversity and a pluralistic society."
Antepli, who joined Duke in July 2008, is one of only a handful of full-time Muslim chaplains at U.S. colleges and universities. He is the founder and executive board member of the Muslim Chaplains Association and a member of the National Association of College and University Chaplains. He also serves as an adjunct faculty member in the Duke Divinity School and Duke Islamic Studies Center, where he teaches courses on Islam.
The guest chaplain program is sponsored by the Office of the Chaplain of the House of Representatives. Guest chaplains must be recommended by current members of Congress, and each member is allowed to recommend only one religious leader per session. Opening the House of Representatives in prayer is a tradition that began in 1789 with the first Continental Congress.
Columbia MSA discusses Sunni-Shia unity
NEW YORK, NY–The Muslim Student Association of Columbia University held a lecture by Imam Ammar Nakshawani on the importance of uniting Sunni and Shia Muslims.
"There needs to be dialogue in order to bridge the gap," Nakshawani said in his lecture on Thursday. The word "dialogue," he added, stems from the Greek word "dia," which means "to see through the lens of another person." "For so many years, when Shiites and Sunnis tried to bridge the gap, the Shiite would look through his lens. The Sunni would look through his."
In his address, Nakshawani asked the audience to put aside political and theological differences between Sunnis and Shiites and focus on the group's shared fundamental beliefs, such as the oneness of Allah, Muhammad's (s) role as the prophet of Allah, and the five pillars of Islam.
"Take off your lenses and see through the eyes of someone else," Nakshawani said.
He criticized he speeches of Sunni and Shiite clerics who use negative phrases, such as "atheist sinners" and "infidels," to incite hatred of the other sects.
Muslim cemetery proposed in Connecticut
CANTERBURY,CT–The Connecticut Council of Masajid is planning to establish a Muslim cemetery in Canterbury. They have identified a 11 acre site which was recently toured by the area residents and the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission.
Abdul Hamid, president of Council of Masajid, has been in Connecticut since 1966 and lives in Hampton. He said he has always found a friendly mix of people in the state.
"This is an opportunity to get to know people,'' he said of the walk through the woods.
The group has an option to purchase the Canterbury property for $300,000 from Daniel M. Cymkow. According to the wetlands application, a 12- to 15-foot wide driveway would wind through the land. The first and second phases of the cemetery would be four acres each, and the third phase would be 17 acres. The land would not be clear cut, Hamid said.
If a wetlands permit is approved, the group would still need a special exception permit from the Planning & Zoning Commission.
First Halal Meals on Wheels Program Introduced in US
DETROIT, MI–The Arabic Community Center for Economic and Social Services has launched what is the first Halal Meals on Wheels program in the US. The program delivers hot Halal meals to seniors who require care and was launched last month in Dearborn.
Amne Darwish Talab of the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services told the Detroit News that there has been a need for this type of service for a long time.
"There are a lot of people who don't have the same living conditions as they did before this economic crisis," said Talab, ACCESS's social services. "A lot of seniors have no family or no kids or their kids are in another state."
The program currently has about 20 recipients and is expected to grow.
Muslim students help the homeless in Orlando
ORLANDO, FL–The Muslim Student Association at the University of Central Florida has launched a program which not only provides food for the homeless but also gives then clean , new socks.
Project Downtown is a part of MSA National that was started by students in Miami who wanted to give the homeless more than food, the Central Florida Future reported.
The project is founded on the idea that people should not only give food but also whatever modest, unconditional gifts they can offer, according to Project Downtown's Web site.
Huma Khan, a mechanical engineering major and the Director of Project Downtown, Orlando, said that the sock donation was one way to give more to the community.
"It's just a random thing we picked out that homeless people do need," she said. "Socks, underwear, stuff like that. Just little things that we look over that people in the streets actually do need and that they appreciate a lot more than we do."
Khan added that the members of Project Downtown, Orlando give the homeless someone to talk to.
"Us being here kind of just gives them something to look forward to," she said. "I build relationships with people. I know who they are, I know them by face…if you have a good conversation with someone one week, it'll kind of make your day a little bit better and you'll look forward to speaking to that person again."

As this week ends, Members of Congress will be packing their bags and heading home with just one thing on their minds: Getting re-elected in November.
They will be home for the entire month of August for what used to be called "recess" but is now, we hope more aptly, referred to as the "August Work Period."
No matter how you label it, they'll be working, alright – working to connect with you, their constituents. Will their work be driven by the desire to win in November? Sure. And that is something that every small-business owner must take advantage of.
There is no better time to contact your Representatives and Senators than this month. They know that you are a voter and, as a business owner, that you are a leader in your community. They realize that your view can have an impact on a lot of other voters.
There are a number of ways you can reach out and make your elected officials accountable – from calling their district or state office to attending a town-hall meeting or parade – but the approach I recommend most strongly is inviting Members of Congress to actually visit your business.
Personal meetings are a great opportunity to build relationships with your lawmakers. We have tips and information available to help you schedule a successful meeting while they are back in the district.
Spending some time in your place of business will give elected officials a much-needed reality check, a refresh of their constituents' perspectives. After all, they will be seeing the environment of a business owner and employer, but also of the men and women who work for you.
It will give you a chance to tell your representative – but more importantly to show them – what's important to you. There is no more powerful way to tell the story of your challenges as a small-business owner than by doing so in the surroundings of your actual business.
Connecting issues like health care, regulations and taxes to the faces of you, your family, your employees and your customers is important. It gives you a chance to leave an indelible impression, something your Member of Congress will carry with them back to the halls of Congress in September and on the campaign trail between now and November.
An elected official who has his or her priorities straight will accept your invitation, listen to you and give you the respect you deserve. They'll recognize that you built your business; the government did not. And they'll know that you are their boss. After all, your tax dollars pay their salary.
To stay up-to-date on small business issues and have legislative alerts delivered directly to your mobile device, text NFIB to 64274. With that information in hand, I hope you'll be calling your representatives this month with a friendly-but-serious reminder that they work for you.

It still does not make sense that the customer is required to pay to ship back to D* a faulty receiver that is owned by D*.
I repeat.....You don't have to pay to send it back. Just call in to deactivate it from your account and you'll see a nice box with a pre-paid shipping label show up on your doorstep in 3-5 days. Pack it in there and drop it off at the Post Office. Won't cost you a cent. You'll be down one location, but once again, it won't cost you anything and you'll save $6 month for the add'l location.

POSTED: Monday, February 11, 2013 - 10:30pm
UPDATED: Monday, February 11, 2013 - 10:34pm
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS (CNN) — It looks like Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry are gearing up for a little "Friends" reunion.
Cox will join her former on-screen husband on an episode of his NBC comedy "Go On," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
On the episode, which is set to air in April, Julie White's Anne will reportedly set Cox's character up with Perry's Ryan.
We already know there's chemistry there, but with Cox's "Cougar Town" in the midst of its fourth season, its first on TBS, there's a good chance this relationship will be fleeting.

There is a good chance the Milwaukee Brewers 2012 season is cursed. I mean, what other possible explanation is there for all of the injuries they have suffered lately? Was Miller Park built on an Indian burial ground and the lost souls are having their revenge? Did Ron Roenicke date a witch? Or maybe the Brewers left a crappy tip for their waitress at Buffalo Wild Wings and now the guy from the commercial (who has a crush on said waitress) is getting his revenge on the team? I've searched high and low for an answer to what is happening to this team right now, but I'm not having much luck finding an answer that makes sense.
To make matters worse they haven't been winning, going 3-7 over their last ten games. The losses haven't been pretty either. Shut out by Jeff Suppan. The Dillard game aka the first true "Fire Ron Roenicke" game of the season. Yesterday's homerun derby. Don't even get me started on the road trips to Atlanta and St. Louis. Its been crappy, no fun and the opposite of Batman.
But does that mean the Brewers are done? Are they doomed? Should they start selling their assets and building for the future? Is it time to give up? The answer to these questions and more is: No, are you frickin' kidding me? To prove my point here is ten reasons why you should relax: Read the rest of this entry »
