It wasn't pretty and it wasn't easy, but the Bears held off the New York Giants for a 27-21 victory at Soldier Field on Thursday night to improve to 4-2 this season.
"The bottom line is, is our defense was able to get the ball turned over to us three times, and offensively we played a very clean game," coach Marc Trestman said. "It wasn't as good as we wanted it to be, we didn't finish some drives, but Jay [Cutler] took care of the football. Our guys took care of the football. We were able to run some clock.
"It wasn't all pretty and we know that. That's exciting from our standpoint because we know we have a chance to get better."
The Bears are off Friday and won't practice again until Monday. With that in mind, here's how the playing time shook out against the 0-6 Giants:
100 percent
Linebacker Lance Briggs, safety Chris Conte and cornerback Zack Bowman were the only defensive players on for all 54 snaps against the Giants. It was by far the most playing time for Bowman, who was playing in place of an injured Charles Tillman.
On offense, quarterback Jay Cutler and his starting offensive line of Jermon Bushrod, Matt Slauson, Roberto Garza, Kyle Long and Jordan Mills played all 68 offensive plays.
Moves at linebacker
Rookie linebacker Jon Bostic got his first action on defense this season, taking the place of D.J. Williams (chest injury). Bostic got 21 snaps against the Giants.
Williams suffered his chest injury in the first quarter, but officially came out in the second half. He also played 21 snaps.
Bostic also took James Anderson's spot in the nickel package in the fourth quarter after Anderson suffered a back injury. Anderson played a season-low 37 snaps.
Blake Costanzo saw five defensive snaps with Anderson hurt too.
The weapons
Receiver Brandon Marshall missed just one offensive play, getting 67 of 68 snaps. Tight end Martellus Bennett was on for 59, while receiver Alshon Jeffery got 56.
Running back Matt Forte continued to carry the load, getting 57 snaps. Backup running back Michael Bush got 11 plays.
No. 3 receiver Earl Bennett was on for 29 snaps, while extra offensive lineman Eben Britton was used on 24 plays.
Fullback Tony Fiammetta's workload increased from Week 5 against Saints. He got 23 plays on offense against the Giants.
Receiver Joe Anderson got a season-high five offensive snaps.
In the trenches
The banged-up reality of the Bears' defensive line led to a lot of action for some young players against the Giants.
Rookie defensive tackle Zach Minter got his first taste of NFL action, getting 14 snaps. Rookie defensive end David Bass played 29 snaps – 54 percent of their defensive plays.
Defensive tackle Landon Cohen started with Stephen Paea inactive. He played 37 snaps at nose guard. Corey Wootton, playing the three-technique tackle, got 46 snaps (85 percent).
Defensive end Shea McClellin also played 46 snaps, while veteran Julius Peppers was on for one less play against the Giants.

The Beatles
The Beatles are as popular with new generations of fans -- and as influential on new generations of musicians -- as they were in their brief, prolific career in the 1960s. Formed in the summer of 1962 when Liverpool drummer Ringo Starr (neé Richard Starkey) joined local pals John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison in their newly-signed band. The Beatles changed the face of pop music forever from slickly-packaged vacuity to bright, engaged irreverence. In the process, they became global superstars and a role model for artists that followed. They wrote their own songs; they took control of their own work; they evolved continuously, incorporating influences from blues and country to psychedelic and Eastern into their work. They had the temerity to quit touring at the height of their popularity (after the August 29, 1966 show at SF's Candlestick Park); the next few years saw the sporadic release of ambitious studio albums and a steady worsening of relations among the band members. In 1970, the band officially broke up as McCartney launched his solo career; the four embarked on numerous projects and frequently collaborated, but continued to quarrel amongst themselves. All hopes for a reunion were dashed when Lennon was murdered in 1980; since then, Harrison has also died. Early in the '90s, however, the surviving members and their heirs resolved their legal differences sufficiently to allow the re-release of the Beatles catalog -- with the result that the Fab Four have been charting high and going multi-platinum ever since. And, while each of the band members went on to successful solo careers, they never matched The Beatles' sheer chemistry. In 1995, the three surviving Beatles added tracks to some unfinished Lennon studio recordings; the resulting "new" Beatles songs helped propel the re-release of the catalog, starting with the Anthology collection, to perennial platinum status.

(07-12-2012 02:46 PM)ArchersAxe Wrote: I've recently been looking into getting some cards graded. After doing some research on both PSA and Beckett, it appears Beckett would have a more reliable and accurate scoring for newer cards. My main concern, though, is what to really expect as a grade. The terms NM and M are used so commonly together that purchasing a card in prospect of getting it graded seems undesirable. Just to prove my point, I had a card seller on eBay tell me his cards were NM to M condition, but he couldn't guarantee that they would be worthy of being graded. I am well aware that the BGS appears to be the most particular. I don't expect to get a 10 on any of my cards. Here are my questions: 1) If I purchase cards said to be in NM/M, what grading should I expect? Do sellers regularly under grade their cards to not get the buyers hopes up? 2) Who should I purchase cards from, a store or another collector? Price is not much of an issue, but rather the quality.

panel front blouse
by POMANDERE
Pomandère was founded in 2008 by Carlo Zanuso, a young Italian designer who wanted to distill traditional dressmaking sensibilities with the contemporary. Constellating around the button-down shirt, Pomandère created a line of understated pieces with a romantic and vintage feel.Soft shapes, natural fabrics and eye-catching washes bring a feminine touch to their special brand of contemporary elegance. A keynote of the Pomandère collection is lightness- with comfortable, unassuming shapes that drape and blend beautifully in many settings. The brand takes its name from the small linen bags of dried flowers and citrus peels traditionally used to scent a wardrobe. Like its namesake, Pomandère brings a sweet and delightful element into any wardrobe.

How To Use Uniprint
From ITwiki
Stevens Institute of Technology has a printing system called Uniprint, developed by Pharos Systems. It works with the Stevens Campus Card system for accounting and authentication. Use of this system requires that students to have a valid Stevens Identification Card to obtain their printouts. Your Stevens Identification Card provides a convenient alternative to cash. Activation is free, plus there are no fees or dues. In order to use your Stevens Identification Card with Uniprint, all you have to do is register your Stevens Identification card, deposit money into your Campus Card account, then use your card to pay for your printouts, as needed.
Using the Stevens Identification Card
- You automatically have an account if you have a valid Stevens Identification Card. No account sign up is required.
- No membership fees or service charges are required.
- You can add value to your account using cash or with a Visa and MasterCard credit card.
- Safe - If you accidentally lose your Campus Identification card, REPORT IT AS LOST (see below). Your money is secure and you can immediately print again once you have your new replacement card.
- Easy to use - It is easy and fast to add value to your card online and view the balance, 24 hours and 7 days a week.
- Convenient - You can use it for printed output in the PC Lab, the library and also at the copy machines in the Library.
Before you start printing, please make sure the UniPrint software and printers are installed
- Starting with notebooks provided to the incoming Class of 2006, these printer drivers and Uniprint software are already installed.
- If you have a notebook configured for the Class of 2005, you must download and install the black and white and color printer drivers and UniPrint software from \\storage01\public. (See link to instructions below and follow them carefully.) Class of 2005 students may also use a special Stevens DVD, which was supplied by Information Technology to upgrade your Stevens Class 2005 notebook to Windows XP with the UniPrint software already installed. If you have a computer from a different class year, or if you want to use UniPrint on some other computer, go to \\storage01\public to download the required files. Install the Uniprint software and printers by carefully following the instructions found at the link shown below.
From what locations can I print and how do I print?
- You can submit print jobs to UniPrint on campus from any Windows computer with a registered network card as well as the UniPrint software and printer drivers installed. You may also submit printouts to UniPrint from the computers in the Information Technology Computer Center's PC Lab. If you dial into Stevens and your computer has UniPrint software and printer drivers installed, you may submit to UniPrint over dialup.
- To submit your printout to the UniPrint system, open your document.
- Choose File, then Print.
- If you want to print on the black and white printer, the printer name to choose will be cc pc lab b&w. If you want a color printout, the printer name will be cc pc lab color.
- Once you finish choosing the printer and click OK, a window will pop up and ask for your username and password.
- Please enter your Pipeline username.
- However, the password DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE SAME AS YOUR PIPELINE PASSWORD. Please pick a password that you will remember.
- We suggest that you NOT use your Pipeline password for security reasons.
How and where do I pick up my printouts?
You need a valid Stevens Identification Card (Campus Card) with money deposited into your Stevens Debit Account. (See below on how to add money to your Campus Card.) Bring your Stevens Identification Card to the Computer Center's PC lab (located in the lower level of the Library). Go to the Pharos Release Station computers and swipe your Identification Card on the slot on the keyboard. A screen will show a list of all print jobs that are waiting to be processed, listed by the owner's name. (The owner names should be Pipeline usernames).
- Find your job, select it, and hit Print. Enter the password you used to submit your print job.
- Your printout will print on a printer next to the Pharos Release Station computers. Pick up your print out. The screen will also show your account balance. After your job is done, please remember to logoff from the system so it is ready for the next person.
How much does it cost?
It costs $0.04 per black and white page and $0.50 for a color page.
How am I going to deposit money into my account?
The Online Card Office can be visited at http://www.stevens.edu/olco. This site uses your Pipeline Credentials.
Deposit your money
- You can choose the option for checking your account balance, transaction history, deposit funds, or change my account information. Once you submit it, a window will show the credit card holder information and add the amount of money you want for transaction. Please remember that the online system only accepts Visa and MasterCard.
- If you do not have a credit card, an alternative way to add value to your card is through the Value Transfer Station (VTS). The VTS is located in the Library on the first floor next to the Library's two copiers. The VTS machine accepts cash only. Funds may also be deposited into your Stevens Debit Account by a third party without you providing them with your password. All they need to know is your Stevens Campus Identification number and full name. This is useful if you would like to have your parents deposit funds. Anyone with access to the Internet can go to http://www.stevens.edu/olco and follow the Stevens Debit Non-Cardholder Instructions and links.
How to check my account balance
You can check your balance through the VTS or online at https://www.stevens.edu/olco after you login with valid Pipeline Credentials.
How do I report my card lost
Visit http://www.stevens.edu/cardoffice/customer_service/lost_cards.php or contact the Residence Life Office at 201-216-5154.
Terms and Conditions
The participant understands and agrees that:
- The Stevens Debit Account is not transferable.
- No interest or other earnings will be paid to the holder or credited by Stevens Institute of Technology.
- Full refunds are only permitted upon graduation, academic withdrawal, or employment termination from the University. Partial cash withdrawals are not permitted.
- Stevens Institute of Technology reserves the right to close accounts that remain inactive for a period of twelve (12 months) or when students withdraw, terminate enrollment, or graduate.
- Stevens Institute of Technology is not responsible for any loss of funds in your Stevens Debit Account due to lost or stolen cards. We strongly recommend that the cardholder maintain a small balance and add value when needed.

...To think of what "might be" a few years from now is barely fathomable but really exciting!

We all know how that turned out. Let's go back and hit the high points from the past ten years. Below is a visual infographic timeline followed by a more detailed look at each year!

Ken Morrison's insight:
This post from a 19 year-old college students is getting traction in recent days as he talks about social media. The most memorable statement for me is that he said that Instagram is a place to share the photo that sums up their favorite moments; Facebook is a place where they place photos so that their family knows that they are still alive.

I'm a researcher. I've been studying American teens' engagement with social media for over a decade. I wrote a book on the topic. I don't speak on behalf of teens, but I do amplify their voices and try to make sense of the diversity of experiences teens have. I work hard to account for the biases in whose voices I have access to because I'm painfully aware that it's hard to generalize about a population that's roughly 16 million people strong. They are very diverse and, yet, journalists and entrepreneurs want to label them under one category and describe them as one thing".

Good morning..
Another week ahead and heading into October. We have a few birthdays in our family this month plus Halloween and the animal festival.
If anyne has not seen Karen's photos go back to last week's thread. They are so very nice and interesting. Real vacation pics. http://community.prevention.co...51#56746834952988951
Have a great week.
PS I hope Carol takes lots of photos.
Good morning and thanks Sharon for starting us up this week! (I think I'm the first thanker!)
Can't believe it's already October this is the beginning of the end of the year for us. Yesterday was DSs birthday, Next week is DH's birthday, Halloween, mine in Nov and then all the chaos begins between Thanksgiving, Christmas, Elaina's birthday and New Years. Add all the fact that all the evals have to be done and given (4 different forms to be written & filled out in addition to going out into the field with each employee)and submitted by 12/1 plus no one wants to work the holidays and it's fun time all around! LOL!
Doris it is the plantar fasciitis that is acting up. It's been there but not bad and in fact I thought doing better till Friday night when it ached while I slept and then did it again during my nap. Icing it last night seemed to help and then I massaged it at bedtime too. So it didn't hurt last night and isn't bad this morning. Who knows.
Everyone please be sure to go back to the old post and see Karen's pictures! They are great and so much fun!
Well need to get the day started. Going to Sam's today and may stop and look at new phones. Also still need to clip the roses back and want to work on the front porch and get my bike back in so it'll be ready when we get back from vacation.
Hope you all have a great day and I'll stop back later.
Good morning ladies,
We did have a good time on the cruise and would love to go to other places in Europe and Asia. DS took so many pics while in Russia. I think he took half the pic that were in the Hermitage and churches plus Catherine's summer palace!
Sharon thanks for starting us up again. I have a busy time in Oct with my sis and her dh coming on the 8th and the three sister going to N.O.
Laureen you will be a busy lady in Oct too. I hope you can cope with it all and work too!
Diva D I will bring my Europe album when we have lunch in Nov.
Hope everyone has a good one,
Thanks Sharona for the start up! You are always soo good about filling in for Carol when she is off galavanting!
Karen the pics are WONDERFUL!!! Cannot believe they are just part of 2500!!!
I saved the ones with all three of you to the WO50 album I keep.
You can bring the rest of the pics when WE have lunch in OCT....I wish...I wish!!!
The other really great pics are those Dee posted on FB...baby is just adorable!
Well...those Steelers embarrassed me when they played in London today...the bums!
It has been soooo beautiful lately...hope Carol is having good weather for the cruise.
What gorgeous weather we have been having...hope it continues for a while.
Talk to yall soon.
(( )), Rags
Evening ladies. Quiet day here cause it rained and drizzled all day so that cut out the porch and the flowers. Did some work work on the computer so I can get the evals written more easy and have documentation to show staff if they don't "believe me" when it comes to productivity, timeliness, sup visits etc. DH didn't feel well and yesterday I didn't feel good stomach wise so just didn't even eat much today. Not feeling bad now and he's beginning to feel a bit better. Tomorrow he has to get my sister's car fixed so that will fill his day if he stays to help his friend.
We have a nurse to interview that sounds great for our temporary help in the office. Then I'll go out in the field either that afternoon or Tuesday afternoon. Then I only have 2 people left to do the following week after we get back.
Meant to tell those of you that have cats that we got an "automatic cat litter box cleaner". DH has wanted one for a long time but we found one that they said doesn't plug like the others did. I have to say it has worked real well. Was relatively inexpensive based on what I've seen in the stores. It does give them less room to go in but sure has helped with odor and cleaning the litter box. If anyone is interested I'll look up the name for you. We got our on Amazon.
Well best get going. Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow! Be back in the evenng.
Laureen, is your little box cleaner one that has to hook onto the power and water source? Then also to a drain?
The smell really isn't a problem for me since the box is upstairs and I'm very seldom up there except to feed and change it. Plus, I have a lousy sense of smell so I wouldn't smell it anyway. One advantage to getting old.
I am up and at it early. Don;t know why I am up so early. I have pics to get from store today and I will do some house cleaning. We still didn't close the pool. DH has been busy doing jobs for others and rested on Sunday.
Rags glad you enjoyed the pics. I will look for Dee's pics on FB. Thanks.
Laureen hope you and your dh are feeling better. I hate when my stomach aches.
Diva D I forgot you have a cat now.
Have a good one,
No it is just hooked to electricity and you use a grocery store bag for the container. For the 2 cats I only have to change the bag every 3-4 days. Could go longer depending on how much they go. It doesn't have the "rake" that many of them have. It has a slide and the tub rotates once an hour and as it hits the bottom of the slide the clumps are taken up the slide and dumped into the bag. The slide and bag are covered also. Ours is in our bedroom and DH has a good sense of smell so we needed to do something cause Fion is a stink pot in more ways than one! LOL!
Have good day everyone!
fanks Sharona for starting us up.
Beautiful pictures Karen, handsome son.... you sound like you had a great time..
Am simply exhausted, but on cloud nine, ds and wife are still here, will leave tomorrow morning, I think I will go into depression...
Kitchen is simply beautiful, now I really have to play with it, don't know where everything is, will have to take a picture wwhen the kids leave... I still can't find anything.
the guys have to come back to put a vent in the kitchen, and some work on the dishwasher. they will come after the kids leave...
Karen, you are not seeing Doris in Nov.
Laureen, I am sticking to my kitty litter, no smell at all, I use fresh step, clump, clean it out once a day, no problem,
Carola are you out at sea?
Hi, everyone, we're back from daughter's and I took a few days to decompress. Had a wonderful time. We watched DGS#1 play baseball, went in the hot tub, and went shopping. I got a nice new leather bag for half price. Discovered that DGS#2 is musical; plays guitar and harmonica in his own band with friends and has even composed a simple band piece. He had them all on his IPhone and they were great. So I guess the musical ability is passed down after all.
Karen, I enjoyed your pictures. Makes me want to go cruising again; it is so much fun with the photographers at dinner and tablemates.
Nat, glad you are enjoying your new kitchen and best of all, your family with you.
Laureen, I also am sticking with the regular litter box. It's in the laundry room and I clean it every day. We switched to a natural litter that has no dust. It's Arm & Hammer, made of corn and has baking soda. It clumps, and is easy to clean. I heard it helps with cats who have asthma like Misty.
Misty started coughing again even though she was on the maximum dose of prednisone again, so the vet started her on antibiotics in case she had developed a secondary infection. That was last Thursday, and by Saturday the coughing had completely stopped and she is lively and playing again. I am wondering if she had an infection all along and doesn't have asthma. I guess we will find out when the meds are finished and we try to reduce the prednisone again.
We had a wind and rain storm last night which caused power outages and the ferries to the mainland were all cancelled due to the high winds. A lot of people were stuck here and had to call into work late this morning. I'm glad we didn't have to go anywhere. The wind wasn't too bad here but lots of rain, and the power was off in the middle of the night for a couple of hours. All is calm now.
Well, better go. This week will be spent learning music as our church fun concert is coming up in a couple of weeks. Roger is going to take a video of it.
Bye for now.
Wow - I am in....don't know what I did to deserve this. We had rain all weekend...wettest Sept in history thus far. I am already tired of it. We need to sit down and plan what we are doing for Christmas and maybe try to get a trip to Reno in November. We have those two fares from when we didn't go to Boston.
Karen, great pictures....that's a great idea to have the book made vrs trying to put one together. We have hundreds of pictures in Albums that no one we want except us,
Nat, enjoy your company. I still get lost in my kitchen. Need to get some of those pull out cabinets as I don't have as much cabinet space as in the other kitchen. A lot of it is high so I cant reach it.
Laureen - when do you leave for Atlantic City? Sounds like you have plenty to do until you go.
Sharona - did you go on your trip? Taormino is a pretty little town. It was packed the day we were there, I like Oliveri better...it has such charm.
Joanie, welcome back.
DD - decided to skip the fruitcake as I have too much temptation. I have lost quite a bit of weight...got lots to go to the Goodwill.
Best go get so breakfast in me. I slept in this am. Allen is out running errands. We will have shrimp for dinner tonight. Last night went out for middle eastern food...it was so good.
Luke and Matt
Daughter Michelle
Grandpa and Matt
I got one of the photos on twice, but can't seem to delete the second one. Anyway, Luke is the taller GS and is the musical one. I made him take his hat off, that's why his hair is messy. lol. Matt is the older one and is the athlete. He plays hockey and slow-pitch baseball.
Michelle just had her kitchen re-done too. I love her pantry; it has a glass door and light inside.
Love the pictures, Joanie. Daughter looks so much like you! Glad the musical talent passed down. My musical talent passed to all of my children - they are all as lousy as me. Sad.
Seems to be the season for new kitchens. Hers looks nice - the cabinets are about the color of mine - in fact the counter looks about the same too. Don't think I would like glass doors, especially on the pantry since mine is not that neat. I shove boxes and cans where they will fit.
Have fun today, everyone.
Hey, my cabinets look like Michelle's. But, I don't have a dishwasher nor do I look pretty like her. She does look like her mama.
We had a nice visit in Giardini Naxos. When I pulled up to the hotel I was surprised to find we were at the same one where we visited cj. I booked this place because they had secure parking. It was nice and we had a balcony with a georgeous vista. I enjoyed the town and the beach. It was quiet and filled with folks our age who spoke English. It was as if England had landed. IKEA was IKEAish...and Andy got into shopping. I had to hold him back. Weather was on our side for this mini vacation. Andy is not a traveler so a one overnight is a start for him. Might try to do something again around Christmas.
It poured last night and we have rain forecasted for the next couple days. Got stuff to do in the house.
CJ how much weight did you lose?
Back later...coffee time!
Truthfully, Joanie, at first glance I thought that she was a granddaughter. She looks way too young to have two boys that big. The picture of the 2 boys didn't come thru (either time) but the one of DGS & DH plus the one of DD did.
Good morning all. Doris
Today is aerobics and Girls' Night Out.
Today my dgd#2 turns 14 yrs old! Happy Birthday!
Laureen my ds does have a lip ring which I detest! I tried to pay him to get rid of it but he held fast to it!
Diva N glad you are enjoying your ds and dil. I hope your kitchen is finished soon! YES< Diva D and I are meeting for lunch in Nov!!!!
CJ I am having an album put together. My family and friends loves to look at my photo albums. I pull them out every so often for them to look at.
Joanie I love the pics of your mini me! You could not deny that she is not yours!
Diva D who has glass doors on their pantries!!!!
Sharon glad you and Andy enjoyed your mini vacations. Sometimes they are they best!
Hopefully this one shows up. I think I accidentally deleted the last one as I had two. Luke is the taller, younger one, age 24. Matt is 26. My DD turned 51 last month. She doesn't look it does she?
Great looking boys, Joanie. Before I just had a box with a red x in it. Never do know what that means.
Karen, I thought Joanie said the pantry had glass doors and was lighted.
Yes, it's Michelle who has a glass door on her pantry. It is frosted and says "Pantry" in fancy letters. You can't really see the contents when the door is shut, as it lights up only when you open the door.
Karen, Luke has a lip ring also, plus tattoos on his arms and chest. I guess that's the rock musician in him,lol. Matt is more conservative and has neither. They are both very sweet young men.
Joanie - does Michelle sing also? OK, even I sing but I mean with talent. Nothing like Nat would do.
Yes, she has a sweet voice and does karaoke at home when she's had a few glasses of wine. but she's too shy to sing in public. She takes after her dad, she's not a ham like me.
Eighty one year old Padre Luigi celebrated his final mass yesterday before retirement. A celebration followed which included refreshments and fireworks.
Beautiful picture, Sharon. Sure hope I look that good when I'm 81. Love the flowers in the background also.
Good day.....I am still on which is a good thing. We are waiting for the plumber that did that big job..it appears we have sprung another leak. Rained like the dickens today but the sun is out so maybe we will get some decent weather. I made a big pot of spaghetti - comfort food. And Allen made some slaw.
Joanie - you family is darling. The boys are sweet looking and Roger always takes a good picture. The pantry door sounds cute....my pantry is a mess. Another rainy day project.
Sharona - sweet picture. He looks like a holy man. So glad yall got back to that hotel.
It was one of the nicer ones we stayed at on our trip. Did you just drive around til you found it or were you able to find it on line. I am down to 130 lbs..no butt at all..a mass of shaky body but at least I feel good.
Best go and referee Seamus and Allen.....the plumber will just be the icing on the cake. xxoo
Hi girls! I have been out of commission on my computer. Our modem was not working properly before we left but I could use my tablet some to read the posts. Then when we left for SD I couldn't get on by my cell phone! Grr!We called Time Warner ASAP after coming home and it took 5 days for it to get fixed. Come to find out it is my WiFi, DSIL is coming over tomorrow to check out the system and have us working again. We are on a temporary fix with this computer but I still can't use tablet or phone here at home. I really like the tablet for late night use. I hope I can get this done tomorrow.
Joanie, I love the pics of your family. Good looking group!
Sharon, the Padre is surrounded by lovely florals. Hope the celebration was lovely.
We had such a wonderful visit. The kids are so sweet, the new baby is adorable and so tiny! You forget how tiny the newborns are!!
Grant is doing well at school, lots to tell you there.
I am tired so getting off here to rest. Finished the new Reacher book Never Go Back. I was a little disappointed. Never took off the ground for me, oh well, next one. TTYT. Dee
Good morning,
CJ, I booked that place on line. Staff was so very nice. Did you have the hotel breakfast? We were sitting in view of the toaster and had fun watching the folks dealing with toast or bread falling to the floor. Most just picked it up and put it on their plates. One put his untoasted bread (that he'd picked up from the floor) back in the basket. Glad that you are feeling good.
Good Morning to all,
I have read posts almost daily but since it takes longer to post, I told myself I will come back and do it later. Many days later........here I am!!
Not much new to report. Same routine, including my Mom's car STILL not repaired. Grrr. Right now Ken is on his way to the garage to find out how much longer. It looks like they couldn't find a transmission so will have to rebuild the trans. I talked to Mom last night and she still would rather wait and have her '91 than go shop for a replacement.
Today is hair trim and highlights for me. I think I am going to go with gray, then when those pesky grays start popping out, I am ready to color. Mom is wanting to go to Applebee's. Not our fav place, but will go w/Mom. She enjoys their "California salad". Perfect evening to go - after I have a new "hair do".
Last Thursday several locals from my h.s. grad class met for lunch. There were 27 of us, including 5 or 6 spouses in that number. We enjoyed visiting and will do it again in 6 months or so. Some suggested meeting and not waiting for 5 year reunion. I will organize that, but some ladies wanted to meet every 2 months for lunch. That is fine, but I hope someone else takes charge of that. Funny, the guys liked once or twice a year, the ladies more often. So our compromise was ladies will meet more often but the group will meet twice a year.
Saturday was a good day for me. We headed east to see our gr-daughters and their Mom & Dad. A fun day, finished with pizza at a local eatery and home by 8 o'clock. Little children can sure put joy in your life with their easy laughter and abundant energy. I can just sit and watch them play and it makes me smile!!
Ken finished with the roof on our deck yesterday. Now on to some finishing touches and trim on the roof, and then the deck railing and enclosing the grilling area with counter and shelves. Not sure if it will all be done this season. We did sit out there last night and how quickly the sun goes down. Fall is here, with the coolness in the air. I still have my hummer feeder up, but not sure if they are still around. The food hasn't disappeared as quickly this time so maybe they have headed for warmer south. I don't want to take it in too quickly, so I'll leave it up for a couple more weeks.
I got a letter yesterday from a "consultant" for my insurance demanding proof that my dependent is eligible for my insurance program. I must respond by Oct 25th or Ken will be removed! They list the documents I must provide. WOW! This is an independent third part audit company whom State of IL has contracted with to verify the eligibility of dependents covered.
Time to get moving and get busy.
Until next time, Susan
Susan - I know those letters went out about the insurance. I have no dependents but I feel sorry for everyone else. Think about the very elderly who do not comprehend as well and don't get it done. This is a big mess!! Of course, the whole dang state is. I believe that a lot of people had some listed as dependents who no longer qualify. Then the next problem is understanding what the new options for insurance are and what is best. No end to the grief we have with this state.
Have a great day all.
It's everywhere. The state here did that a few years ago thur an audit company. Saved a bundle for the state from all the people that had "dependents" that didn't qualify. We had to complete paperwork and show our marriage license before my DH could continue on my insurance plan. i also thought about the uneducated state workers who might not understand or be fearful of the process. Then this year, had to submit paperwork about smoker status so smokers had to pay more. I guess next they will go after obesity. The amount of time (and money) we have to spend to take deal with the continuation of bureaucracies amazes me.
Went for my dental cleaning today. I'm always told how well I take care of my teeth but as usual, I have two more cavities to get fixed. One will require the old crown to be replaced. Same old--as you age, your gums recede exposing the root under the tooth/crown and hence more problems. (cavities at the gum line), etc.
Weather has been great!!!! Cooler and rain. oh yeah!
Enjoyed all the pics again!!!
I totally agree with you Doris and Marlene. I didn't think about the people that are in the system and shouldn't be. You are right, it is a hassle and I have read the instructions very carefully. I just saw this morning that it said when you send the front page of your income tax papers that you should black out all money amounts. I didn't catch that the first time I read it. I will re-read many times before I send it to make sure I don't miss any other instructions. Another item to add to the to-do list. If you don't reply, your dependent is dropped. It doesn't sound like any 2nd chances. I'm not complaining, because I know how fortunate we are to have supplemental insurance.
I am a happy camper because the stylist fixed my hair liked I requested and I do like the highlights. Now if my hair would stay like this for a looooooong time with no gray showing!!
Until next time
What about those elderly who do not file taxes? Hmmmm. They don't make enough to do that.
Welcome back Dee..
Boy, my old sis Doris is so smart.
Am thinking of getting depressed.. the kids left yesterday, we had such a good time....sob......
busy cleaning up leaves, got 10 bags done, over 70 to go. almost cleaned up all my pots, have about 10 left....so sad....
Kitchen looks beautiful....will get a pic. they are coming on Friday to finish up the exhaust vent, and dishwasher....will be glad when they are OUT.... am trying to figure out where things should go..... have lots of empty cabinets....
got our flu shots today.
Every year I have to sign a statement indicating my husband has no insurance from anywhere else. We are getting letters now explaining the new "insurance market place" and to be careful when comparing costs of keeping our current insurance or going to a market place as well as potential tax implications and that the company won't put any money towards the "market place" like they do our current policy. Of course our costs are going up and I believe the deductible also. I just keeping thinking about the people who don't/won't understand it, can't afford it and the penalties they'll get. Then wait till they find out what the coverage is and that it's not necessarily what they think "everyone else" is getting. Everything is so hard any more! We had an employee at my old job who kept her ex husband on her insurance and lost her job over it! The hospital has had patients using a family members card in order to get care. Another big problem. All of this causes so much work on everyone's part. If only we would all just be honest.
Not much going on here either. Work is work and could have been worse. Was out in the field again this afternoon. Only 2 more field evals to do next week, then start writing! LOL!
Marlene the same thing happened to me about a year ago. Now I'm suppose to brush the gums too! Plus use a water pick! Always something falling apart slow but sure! LOL! Did you get the truck running yet?
Susan did you really go with gray highlights? I figure when I'm done working I'll let it go, but DH keeps saying "no way"! I can understand your mom with her car its hard to learn to trust another car and learn where everything is! I have to be in a specific mood for Applebees. Not a lot I like to eat there. Congrats to Ken for finishing the deck. Are we going to see pictures?
Sharon, that is gross putting the bread back in the basket. I wouldn't want to eat it after it hit the floor in a public place. At home, I might think about but not likely. Bread is cheap! I loved the picture of the Padre. He looks like a nice caring man. Hope his party went well. What will he do now? Just live at the home with his thoughts and prayers? At a convent close by there are nuns who's jobs are to take care of the elderly nuns. Really a different way of living.
Joanie loved the pictures of your DD and DGSs! She does look a lot like you. Nice to know the singing talent passed down too! I wouldn't want a pantry that lit up with glass doors. I'd just see too much more to do!
Dee, wondered what happened to since you got back. Just read Mandy's blog on FB. Such a strong lady! I loved the one about being a mom with little ones and not going through one can of shaving cream a year! LOL! Just know thoughts and prayers are going out to all of them. It has opened my eyes that 's for sure! It's sad all the assumptions that are made today.
CJ did your leak get fixed? It's frustrating that it hasn't been taken care of completely. We are in for rain later this week, Sun is going down earlier and earlier and when it goes down it goes down and fast! Trees are turning and are starting to look pretty, but I hate to think of winter coming. Heard the Farmers Almanac says we'll be having a lot of snow. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Well I got a lot to do tonight still and am tired. So will get going. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow and I'll be back tomorrow night.
Got lots accomplished today. I made some chicken soup that was really good. SIL came over and fixed the WiFi, would you believe a tiny button had been pressed and the darn thing had been turned OFF!!! I can't believe Time Warner didn't find that when they checked it out last night. I am just so grateful that it is fixed. Now I can use my tablet when I go to bed.
Laureen, I do love Mandy's blog as well. For those of you not on FB they found out that Evan is Autistic. He has the medical aspect of the issue exam next week, he is eligible for a three day a week preschool. He also attends a occupational therapy once a week and a session with a psychologist also. They are really upset about the diagnosis and are working thru it. My heart is breaking for them.
I have been watching CNN and can't believe the crazy stuff going on! Let's hope that cooler heads will prevail and soon.
Susan, I always get my hair highlighted too. It looks better, sometimes the cut is not what I like but my hairdresser is really good.
I got some new fall clothes, a really nice casual jacket and jeans too. All done with fall shopping, but if I can find a purse I will pick that up.
I am volunteering at G's school on Friday. I am teaching the kids to cook an apple tart and looking forward to that. I did tell the teacher that I could tutor if she needed me, the kids who need help with reading or whatever. She was very excited that I had done that before and is getting together with the K-3 teachers to see what they will need and what I can do. That should start soon.
Anyone enjoying the new fall shows? I saw BlackList and sort of liked that. I am watching Ironsides tonight. I really liked Foyle's War on PBS, and love, love Last Tango in Halifax! Anyone seeing that? Dee
I don't have time to watch new shows - been reading books and about half way thru the one something like The Lost Piano except Lost isn't the right word. It is written by a Chinese pianist and what life was like during the Mao tyranny there. Fascinating. If I go to Amazon to look up the title on my Kindle page I will lose this post.
Have a great night tonight those who are still up and Good Morning Sharon.
Nat, think of the raking as therapy for your depression. Did son do any of them?
Thanks Doris for the greeting..nice to see first thing in the morning.
Grey hair...I love grey hair. Mine is changing to grey but very slowly. Maybe I should get grey highlights.
Heading out of town this morning and will be back later.
My hair has been turning grey for years and I wouldn't change it. The front is completely grey and the back is a little salt/peppery look. Sure a lot easier than trying to color it. When I see people with the roots showing I am even more thankful for my look.
I had a busy day yesterday and today. I thought I better sign in before the busy begins. I went yesterday to two docs. One for my orthotics and the other for my throat. I have been getting hoarse and during sleep my throat seems to close up with mucus. I just thought it was best to check out my acid reflux is not flaring. I have a scope procedure sched for the week after my sis leaves here. She and her dh will be here Oct 8 from Ca.
Today I have aerobics from 1-2 PM then at 3-6 PM cards at this winery, I then will leave there for adult religion class that begins at 7 PM. Thank goodness I have nothing on Friday.
Joanie you have a beautiful family. DS didn't want a tattoo since it was permanent. I was glad that he went with the lip ring.
Sharon the priest now a days are retiring at an older age. There are just not enough priest to go around to all the churches. Our priest is 76 ish and looks fantastic. I thought he was younger than me. He is so spry! Have a good outing!
CJ I hope your plumber comes soon before your house floods! lol
Dee the modem is fixed!!! Glad that G is enjoying his school.
Susan hope they find the transmission for your mom's car. DH had to fill out papers for me to continue on his insurance or I would have been dropped. Good luck with that! I don't know a fifth of my 1000+ classmates that I grad with. I went to one reunion and remembered only a handful who were in my college prep classes.
Diva N I know it is sad to see your family leave. Hope you can enjoy the new kitchen and find everything. I thought Bill the science guy should have left DWTS. I think Valerie Harper should be next but she might have a big fan base.
Sharon that is just awful of someone to put bread or any food back on the buffet for other to eat. That is just not done!!! I would have alerted the staff. Hope you had a wonderful time.
Laureen my dh just came from a meeting about our insurance that was guaranteed to be free. Now the union wants all to be free for all or all has to pay. I was disappointed. It seems if the union does not come up with an agreement with the company that we will have to pay $250 dollars each to be insured for a yr. I just hope dh has this right. I am waiting for a letter to inform us if this does happen and how much we will be required to pay. DH doesn't want to pay.
Diva D you are so right about the insurance mess! I just hope it goes smoother than I think it will. I have been listening to my audiobooks and haven't had time to see the new shows either. I don't watch much tv.
Susan and Karen - the latest wrinkle in the state insurance. CMS is putting out information for those who are not able to get their tax papers which are required because of the government shutdown. I didn't really understand what they said and I'm sure a lot of others won't either. What a mess!!!!!!!! It would be nice if they would tell us what the cost is going to be!! Now the state says they probably won't pass any pension bill until the end of the year. They can't agree on anything. Duh.

I recently finished my term as a test "pilot" of the new Chevy Volt. As one of 15 members of their Consumer Advisory Board, General Motors loaned me the plug-in electric Volt for 3 months. The vehicle was wonderful and I fell in love with it for multiple reasons, which I've shared in past posts. But driving it also raised some tricky questions. For one, a neighbor asked me if I could be sure that I was emitting less in the way of greenhouse gasses, since I was using the mix of energy provided by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) - much of which comes from coal. My neighbor had a point. It's true that about 40% of the power provided by LADWP to the Los Angeles basin comes from the burning of coal, according to the LADWP's Integrated Resource Plan (pdf).
I was really sad the day General Motors took my Chevy Volt away. But it wasn't mine to keep. GM had appointed me to a special Consumer Advisory Board, which amounted to being one of fifteen "test pilots" across America who got to drive and critique a Volt for three months. When I first drove the Volt, having been a proud Prius driver for the past five years, I was initially put off by its relative heaviness, which seemed to cause an unnecessary waste of power just to propel the car. On the other hand, I was really impressed with the control panel, the array of electronics, the amazing stereo sound, and the full-time help and assistance through the On-Star System. I also appreciated the Volt's steering radius. It was the tightest and best I've experienced in any car, foreign or domestic.
This new short video shows how you can plan to adapt your home and neighborhood for droughts, floods, severe weather and climate change.

I had an experience like that today with one of my profs.
I had a test today worth 20% of my final mark. I rarely go to this class, but I always hand in all my work on time and I've never missed a quiz or test. Even still I'm getting 80's in this course. So Today, thinking my class was from 4-5pm I strolled into an empty room only to see my prof marking tests. He looked at me and said "Oh, did you forget about the test?" My reply was "No, actually I studied and everything but due to my miss judgement and not coming to class I thought it was at 4pm. I'm late and it's completely my fault. I really apologize for that." He smiled and actually let me write the test.
My previous judgement of this prof is that he was a bit of an ass. It's amazing how a bit of honesty and taking ownership can really show you someones true colours. I'm a bit embarrassed and frankly ashamed of myself for this judgement. He didn't have any reason to let me write the test. I wasn't there when I should have been, but he did.
I thought I'd share this with everyone, because I frankly didn't deserve to write the test, but was given a second chance.

Jimmy Buffett Tickets
From keeping fans entertained with trop rock music to flying airplanes, writing best-selling books and running multi-million businesses - there's nothing Jimmy Buffett can't do. The crooner has been cranking out beach bum tunes for fans since the 1960s, and even though he originally first hit the airwaves as a country artist, Buffett has become the face of trop rock with over 23 million albums sold in the U.S. alone. With success comes the ability to dictate your own schedule, so Jimmy Buffett tour dates have mostly been relegated to Tuesday, Thursdays, and Saturdays so he can enjoy some of the lifestyle that he sings about ever so often. Be sure to catch the "Margaritaville" mayor as he shells out hits like "A Pirate Looks at Forty," "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes," and "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere." With tunes like that on the docket, "Parrotheads" can rejoice because a full supply of Jimmy Buffett tickets can be found in our marketplace for one of the most entertaining concert events around.

Here's to hoping the game will be adjustable in some way to make it possible to solo. I absolutely love everything about the concept of this game other than having to play with no less than two...and even then the two would be pitted against each other. Great if you have a big, regular gaming group. Terrible if you generally play alone. When i saw the announcement on the front page my jaw dropped, and then as I read the description my joy slowly subsided.
But hey, maybe there will be a way to randomize the mansion crawling experience so we don't need to have a "keeper" player. Any ideas on how that might be possible. Like is that possible with Descent?
This will be an immediate buy if that is the case. *fingers crossed*

Outdoor Speakers
May 24, 2012 3:48 PM, By Bennett Liles
The great outdoors is no barrier to great sound, especially with the newer models of outdoor speakers now available. Weather-resistant enclosures and component coating have introduced a new toughness and durability previously unreachable, and all of this has come without sacrificing frequency response and sensitivity. The products in our survey are typical of the modern features and new adaptability of all weather and indoor/outdoor speakers.
The SM42T-B from Atlas Sound is a two-way 4in. weather-resistant, surface-mount speaker that is ideal for use in both 70.7V/100V and 8Ω installations. The SM42T-B has a built in 70V/100V line matching transformer that features adjustable power taps ranging from 2W to 16W as well as an 8Ω bypass. The SM42T-B's small footprint and exceptional high-frequency reproduction makes it ideal for indoor/outdoor installations, foreground or background music systems, and for use in retail/restaurant, corporate AV, or worship applications.
Designed by Bose for coherent zone arrays in medium to large permanent installations, the LT 4402 WR is a mid/high loudspeaker that includes a 3in. diaphragm compression driver and V2 midrange manifold, summing two 4.5in cone drivers in a heat-sink/acoustic summation assembly. The unit is capable of either passive or bi-amp operation with a frequency response from 180Hz to 16kHz ±3dB and a peak output of 135dB SPL on axis at 1 meter. The enclosure is made of void-free exterior-grade Baltic birch plywood with extensive internal bracing, and it has a 16-gauge perforated stainless steel grille with powder-coated finish and backed with an open-cell foam. In bi-amp mode, the mid-frequency section handles 140W, while the high frequency section handles 75W.
At the top of the Voyager line from Boston Acoustics, the Voyager 70 has a 7in. copolymer graphite injected cone with a butyl rubber surround and a 1in. Kortec soft-dome tweeter that together produce a frequency response of 57Hz to 20kHz ±3dB in open air environments. Along with the other products in the Voyager line, the Voyager 70 has rustproof hardware and connectors, a powder-coated aluminum grille, and a UV-resistant polypropylene cabinet. The 8Ω unit can be run from amplifiers with power outputs from 10W to 175W, and it is anchored in place with a heavy-duty aluminum C-bracket. The enclosure is available in either black or white finish.
The R6-51 three-way horn loaded triaxial loudspeaker from Community Professional is designed for long-throw applications that are typically encountered in outdoor environments where it uses a high-power passive mid-high crossover. The LF component can handle 1200W continuous power while the MF/HF section delivers 450W continuous power. The unit provides up to 145dB peak SPL in an integral double-wall weather-sealed gray fiberglass enclosure. The assembly uses grade 304, stainless-steel hardware for durability and features a 16-gauge perforated steel grille backed by open-cell foam and a 100x100-wire square-inch stainless-steel mesh.
