I have attached a few pics of my yard before and after. I removed all of the bushes, and plan on leveling it with the rest of the lawn. There was a big slab of concrete covering the drain pipe. Whoever did that left a hole I assume so, the water fill and drain through the soil. Can I just fill that hole, covering the exposed pipe? or should I extend the pipe with holes in the bottom of the pipe, and run it towards the side walk? Will it matter either way? |

Is this underground black plastic pipe draining downspouts? Is the point of outfall (where the water exits the buried black plastic pipe) below the level at which the water needs to rise in order to escape? (...As that's what it appears to be.) If so, you are creating a high maintenance situation almost certain to fail completely unless it is is regularly cleaned (like after every storm.) What a pain! The greatest fault of this system is that it cannot be self-cleaning. |

It's always a Pandora's box when opening up the ground ! Try a NDS drainage pop up cover - that way you won't completely cover up the problem and if the lines are still connected to what they are drainage, you'll know the pipe system is working .

It's a storm drain pipe for the drain in front of garage. Currently, it just drains into that hole. |
Clarification needed. Are you saying that it's a YARD DRAIN at the front of the garage that empties a few feet away into a hole? Perhaps you should show or describe the whole path. It looks like you might have slight slope to the street. Do you really need a yard drain? Let's find out exactly what this thing is and why it's there. Those "pop-up" drains work on paper, but in real life, silt, roots and gravity do them in. If they were draining always-clean water, then they might work. |

There is a drain in front of the garage, and the pipe runs to the front yard into what I think is called a drain basin. Like the pictures above. The 4th picture shows a downward slope, so I'm thinking that I should couple the abs pipe with a longer one, and run it down to the sidewalk. My neighbor said I can get a pipe that has holes facing down and will allow water to drain all the way down. There won't be much water going down the drain anyways. What you think? |
- Posted by mcintoshmc 9 (My Page) on Tue, May 14, 13 at 1:40
Or should I just fill up that basin with dirt, and let the water soak through? |
You say there is a drain (inlet) at the front of the garage (would help if you posted a picture of it that shows its surroundings and how it relates to yard and garage) so it's presumed it's catching water from the yard. It appears from photographs that you have fall from the front of the house toward the street, so it begs the question, "why is water being put in an underground pipe at all?" At the inlet, would water be trapped somehow? (As you're not showing it in any pictures.) It would be useful to show the ENTIRE path of the water drainage that is questioned in this thread. |

I believe the drain in front of the garage is to stop the garage from flooding. The ground plateaus in front of the garage, and then takes a downward slope towards the yard. There is currently a drainage basin that was covered by a concrete block. I have removed the block, and plan on filling the hole, so I can grow grass. The decision I have is either leave the ABS pipe outlet right there, or to extend the pipe to the end of the yard towards the sidewalk, allowing the water to drain through the drainage holes as it makes its way towards the sidewalk. |

In your recent photo posted above (Tue, May 14, 13 at 11:34 ... showing the garage door) ... at the blue area you are pointing to a drain. IF, along the yellow line that follows the brick, you have fall (that it slopes downhill as it approaches the lawn to the left) then having an underground pipe is 100% pointless because it's apparent that the lawn area itself has fall as it approaches the street. The only thing you must make sure is that the lawn area is not any higher than the left edge of the driveway (shown in the same picture.) Sometimes grass growth over the years can build the lawn grade up slightly. If it has, skim some soil off the top and replant grass on the new lowered elevation. You don't want to dam up water at the left edge of the drive. You want it to spill onto the lawn and continue toward the street. The drain can be sealed and covered (or removed.) But make sure the path for water to escape can continue on to the lawn surface and flow unimpeded from that point. Don't extend or install any underground pipe at all. If the picture is misleading about the fall and none exists in the driveway where the blue arrow is shown, then you will need the drain inlet and you should run it to a lower elevation where water can exit unimpeded. Don't run it to a buried "box" or contraption where the water must rise up again to the ground's surface in order to escape. Doing so will cause you extra maintenance and problems as silt eventually builds up. (It will prevent the pipe's being self cleaning.) If you don't know if you have fall along the yellow line in the picture, get out a carpenter's level and check. Or get out the hose and see if a puddle of water runs downhill toward the lawn. |
- Posted by mcintoshmc 9 (My Page) on Tue, May 14, 13 at 14:38
I will have to take out a level, but I can say that it is level at the drain. The previous owners probably had a flooding issue, and that is why they put the drain there,and then covered the trench with the decorative brick. If the ground is level somewhat, and will puddle without a drain, what is the negative impact of me extending the pipe to the sidewalk, allowing it to drain on the way down? |
What you need to be checking is pitch from where the drain is to the left side (as in the picture) of the drive, as no determination can be made until that is known. Hopefully, it's 2" lower at the left edge where the drive meets lawn. Negative impact? First, it's not going to drain through those holes in the bottom on the way down. Roots are going to use those holes as a way to get into the pipe where they can lap up water and watch TV all day long. They'll like it so much they'll never leave and eventually, they'll disrupt the flow of water in the pipe. Where the pipe terminates at the outfall end, it will be homely and a maintenance pita unless you create some sort of concrete frame. Well, it will still be ugly. It will be a maintenance chore at the top end, too, where you always need to make sure it's free of debris. Not having pipes and drains in the ground is so much better than having them, so only have them if you must have them based on need. Can't figure out why you want to extend the pipe so far (more expense to purchase and more maintenance.) You should drain via surface as soon as it's possible (that when the water comes out it will run in the direction you wish.) |

Bringing Up Poland
By: Felicia Brown
Posted: December 31, 2009, from the January 2010 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
At the spa at the Hotel Malinowy Zdrój in Solec Zdrój, Poland, spa clients can experience body treatments, wraps, facials and offerings that include natural mineral spring water and peat.
page 3 of 4
If the conference itself was any indication of emerging trends, the infusion of spa and wellness cuisine also will soon be on the rise. One of the most engaging and intriguing events I've attended at a spa conference anywhere was the healthy cooking demonstration and dinner here. Foods were combined in ways that were delicious yet new to me and the other attendees—a mango-and-broccoli salad in particular was unexpectedly good—and an emphasis on being aware of what we consume was also the focus of a conference lecture that unveiled a healthy slogan and campaign called "I Choose What I Eat." This is definitely a new concept to many Poles.
Another apparent trend is the development and implementation of a unified spa association and rating process to help determine what services, facilities and characteristics are necessary for a business to use the word spa, especially as the market grows. Similar to what happened in the United States a few years ago, as consumers are demanding more therapeutic services and the term "spa" as a buzzword is catching on, many smaller businesses that lack some of the traditional elements are using the spa moniker and confusing consumers.
"Raising the purchasing expectations and delivering bigger and better services to the spa and wellness market creates the necessity of classifying and reviewing existing spa centers," says Węglarz. "It also gives the opportunity to create some service standards and determine and define minimal requirements for professional spa centers. Those kinds of classifications will help clients make the proper choices."
Facing challenges
With all of the positive growth and emerging trends in the Polish spa industry, there are bound to be some problems, too. "As the spa culture develops worldwide, Poland will have an opportunity to position itself as a spa destination, but to do so would require a total effort from the government and a collaboration of the entire tourism industry in that country," Andrews comments. "It will be difficult for individual businesses to carve a significant presence without governmental support. Spas in Poland will not be better than other European spas, as they are all going pretty much in the same direction. The difference will be in how much is spent on implementing the services."
When asked what kind of challenges she sees in Polish spas, Bojarska-Ferenc notes, "Personally speaking, as a client, I think that some spa treatments in Poland lack professionalism and technique. This relates mainly to body treatments, maybe because, until recently, there was no massage tradition in Poland, and one of the most popular forms of massage was sports massage." Polish spa owners, managers and team members will need to be conscientious of these issues, as well as the desires of their spa-going public, as they continue to build the industry into a global presence.

kenya bag
by CLARE V.
While working in French television, Clare Vivier began making bags as a result of her busy travel schedule. She discovered a gap in the market for laptop cases that were functional yet stylish, inspiring her to create her own bag. The concept quickly parlayed into her now eponymous line of handbags and clutches that are as stylish as they are utilitarian. She attributes her sense of chic simplicity to her strong connection with France. Clare's design principle is timeless but her aesthetic is bold, always taking into consideration the elegant tension between modern detail and classic shapes.

Hi all - I have been in the process of trying to get all the details of the get together finished so I can post them. But first I need to have an idea of how many people are coming and who they are. So, if you are coming, could you please let me know. Also, let me know if you have a hotel reservation, or if you have yet to make one, and when you are coming in and planning on leaving. I can then put the finishing touches on the arrangements and let everyone know what is going on. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!

Toni, Marie and I are a definite yes; haven't made hotel reservations but plan to stay at the same hotel as last year. Rebecca |
LOL... Not sure if Rebecca is referring to me or not... I am planning to come. Don't have a hotel reservation as I live right there. As an fyi for anyone who cares, the Super 8 in Yorkville is usually cheaper and isn't enormously far away. Some of the hotels get surprisingly pricey in the area. Marie |

The storm shelters, made possible by a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant of $1,140,888 awarded in November 2012, are scheduled to be built near the E.H. Gentry Technical Facility, the Helen Keller School of Alabama and the Alabama School for the Blind within the next three to six months.
"This project was initiated by Dr. (Terry) Graham when he was president," AIDB President Dr. John Mascia said. "Mother Nature continues to remind us how important it is to do whatever it takes to ensure our students and faculty remains safe from severe weather."
Council members initially approved supporting the project in November 2012, agreeing to chip in $200,000 for the cause. The buildings are expected to cost more than initially projected and now the total contribution needed from AIDB falls nearly $55,000 short of a four-fold increase.
Of the increase, $280,008 will be spent to pay Metro D to put in the foundations and electrical hook-ups for each building.
Chief financial officer David Akins said the original plan was for members of the staff to do some "in kind" work to keep the cost of the project down, but later declared that measure to be impractical because it creates problems if a contractor has an issue while building on someone else's foundation.
The 54-foot by 36-foot shelters, designed to house nearly 300 people, will feature decorative fixtures on the buildings worth $64,859, a measure Akins deemed important for consistency purposes.
"We're not trying to make them elaborate, but we want to make sure the buildings fit in with the general decorum of the campus," Akins said. "We don't want it to look so obvious the buildings are shelters and make them just look like boxes. We did cut out $47,000 worth of decorative work we felt like we could do without."
Additional costs associated with the project include $92,000 in architect's fees, $21,692 for sidewalks and just under $86,400 for canopies to cover the sidewalks leading to the shelters.
In another matter, the council approved authorization for Mascia to entertain bids for an additional floor-cleaning contract.

By Charly Wilder
Stan Honda/AFP via Newscom (Madoff)
Originally published on March 19, 2009
As the epically slimy financial swindler Bernie Madoff pled guilt this morning, even his attorneys seemed to agree he would be taking up a long, hard, and certainly permanent residency in the clink. Due to the sheer magnitude of his crime and the probable length of his sentence (150 years), Madoff won't be headed to one of those cushy country-club lockups like the one where Martha Stewart spent five months knitting tea cozies. Presiding judge Denny Chin just revoked Madoff's bail and banished him to await sentencing for up to three months at the Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan. From there, while it's technically possible Madoff could end up in a maximum-security or "supermax" prison like Sing Sing, odds are he's headed to a medium-security federal prison, somewhere within shouting distance of his $7 million Manhattan penthouse.
Defense attorney Jeff Chabrowe of the Blanch Law Firm, whose white-collar criminal clients include Morgan Stanley VP Richard Garaventa (charged with stealing $2.8 million from his own firm), pinpoints the Otisville Correctional Facility in Mount Hope, New York, as a likely contender. He helped us take a closer look at the prison to paint a picture of how Madoff might be spending the rest of his life.
Otisville is home to about 1,100 prisoners, many of whom are convicted of violent crimes like murder, rape, and assault. Last year, the whole place went into lockdown when a fight between inmates got out of control. But Chabrowe says that Madoff would likely be cordoned off from the general prison population to protect him from possible threats. "There are a million psycho federal inmates in custody who would love to say that they stabbed Bernie Madoff," he says.
Madoff will not, however, be alone. Chabrowe speculates he will be put in a small unit with other "at-risk" residents, including, he says, fellow high-profile inmates, cooperators (known on the inside as snitches), rapists, and child molesters. Unlike those in supermax facilities, inmates in medium-security prisons like Otisville share cells and sleep in dormitory-style bunk beds.
While it's certainly not anymore legal than his nonexistent financial practices, Madoff may end up taking protection into his own hands by paying off guards and other inmates to watch his back. According to Chabrowe, it's common practice, at least for wealthy inmates like ex-TYCO CEO Dennis Kozlowski, who was sentenced to eight years in a medium-security state lockup. "Most of these guys have people inside who take care of them," says Chabrowe. "There's just no way that Madoff isn't going to be paying guards to give him special treatment."
Were he to be incarcerated in Otisville, Madoff would share an address (and maybe a communal shower?) with notorious cocaine trafficker George Jung, whose involvement in the Medellin Cartel was the basis for the movie Blow. Other famous inmates include Zvonko Busic, the Croatian plane hijacker who burrowed his way out of Otisville in 1987, and Edward Norton's fictional character in the Spike Lee film 25th Hour.
Prisoners in medium-security facilities like Otisville typically are allowed one 45-minute visit per week, says Chabrowe. Of course, if Ruth Madoff, who is now facing several civil lawsuits of her own, wants to visit her husband, she'd better cover up well. Otisville has a notoriously strict dress code and has been known to turn away visitors with too much skin on display.
One thing Madoff won't have to give up is Passover dinner. Otisville is one of only a few federal penitentiaries in the country that has a full-time Jewish chaplain, a kosher kitchen, and weekly Shabbat services. So Bernie's got that going for him, which is nice.

I know all about trying to homestead on a very limited budget. Let me share with you the FOUR things you need to get started homesteading without spending a penny! You might be surprised.
Read the full story »
No. Nobody's sick here at the moment (knock on wood). This is a completely random post. But I figured with the cold and flu season here, you might be interested in tucking this little nugget in the back of your mind for a rough day.
I came upon it by accident, really, as most brilliant ideas come about. This is seriously the easiest way to get vomit out of the carpet. I wish I'd known to do this from the beginning. It sure as heck would have saved me from way too many stomach churning moments.
One night my daughter was sick with a stomach flu, and didn't make it to the bathroom before she spewed all over her bedroom floor.
Lovely, I know. Stay with me here, it's gonna get worse before it gets better.
It was chunky, and smelled horrible, and I really didn't feel like trying to sop it out of the carpet with a towel at 2 o'clock in the morning. Her brother was sleeping in the same room at the time, and begged me to make the awful smell go away.
So, I did what first came to mind. Baking Soda. LOTS of it. I grabbed a big bag from the pantry, and sprinkled it liberally all over the mess on the floor. Enough to completely bury the puke. And then I put a towel over it just in case somebody accidentally stepped on it.
There. Done. Back to bed.
Dare I admit, with all the vomiting that went on those next few days, I didn't even get around to cleaning that mess under the towel for two days. Hey, don't judge.
When I finally remembered there was something there that really needed to get cleaned up, I was shocked and amazed when I pulled the towel up to find that the baking soda had transformed all of the throw-up into small, odorless clumps of powder. Besides that, all that was left was a stain that needed scrubbing.
What's this? No disgusting mess to slop up with my bare hands?
Using the vacuum, I (probably too ecstatically) sucked all of the dried clumps up in one mess-free motion. (If you don't want to use your vacuum, a broom will do just as well.) With that out of the way, I sprayed a little carpet cleaner on the spot, and had it as good as new in minutes.
No sopping. And gagging. And scooping. And gagging. And washing. And picking chunks of leftover food out of the washing machine.
It was brilliant!
I'm telling you, the next time you have throw-up on your carpet- Baking Soda. LOTS of it. Add a couple drops of essential oils while you're at it. You'll love me forever.
Do you have a better way to clean vomit from carpet?? I'm game to learn an even better trick if there is one!
Grab these items to have on hand for the next time the stomach bug runs through your home…

Homemade hot cocoa is super easy to make and much healthier than the store bought powdered stuff. It's a lot cheaper, too! Here's the recipe I've been making for years.
You'll never go back to store bought marshmallows once you try these!! I promise you. They're heavenly.
Here's my favorite way to roast whole winter squashes. Quick, easy, and delicious!

Dark Side Claw The Dark Side Knife was born a few years ago as a result of an attempt to make a knife with a lot of style and utility, packed into the simplest package possible. The result was the original Clip Point version. That knife (or a Talon) have been my daily carry knives for the last 3 years. And now, there's a new Dark Side. The Dark Side Claw. The hook shaped blade is absolutely the most aggressive blade against cardboard, rope, paper or canvas bags, etc. And of course if need be it would be shockingly effective as a self defense tool. The more curved the blade the more aggressive it will cut, but the harder it is to sharpen. I have found that this amount of curve is perfect. Cutting edge is 3" long, and overall is 7.25". The blade is forged, Laminated Steel (420 and 1095), forge texture left on. The blade is hollow ground and hand finished. I intentionally left the edge and point of the knife very thin, because the cutting power of the blade with a razor thin edge is fantastic. That also means this is not a pry bar or a screwdriver. Treat it nice and it will scare you with how well it works. This knife has been my daily carry piece for a few weeks now, and I am having a hard time switching it out for anything else. The sheath is my Leather / Kydex Multi-Carry. Gator-ish cowhide over molded kydex with a belt loop that can be repositioned for horizontal or vertical carry, left or right hand. Even the little Chicago screws that hold the belt loop on are custom made for me. (Note on ordering: If you want to purchase more than one, select a quantity when you check out. You will end up paying for the shipping multiple times, but I will refund the overage.) Price is $265 plus shipping / insurance. SOLD |

Problem with site in NS 4.x
I'm building a website for a Marketing Association at my University. I've done almost all the graphics and I have structured them using tables. In IE the site looks exactly as it should, but when I view it in NS (4.x is the only one I have checked) there appears a white horizontal border of about 15px along the full width of the page. Somehow two tables don't match correctly.
Would anyone please take a look at the testpage of the website with NS? I hope that one of you can find out what is causing my problem and more important, how to fix it!
Thank you in advance, Michiel

Netscape 4.x can be VERY picky about table cell width, etc.
Here's the quick and easy fix:
Add a 1x1 pixel transparent image (attached) and specify the width to that of the cell in which it resides.

Not a major deal, but the cell next to this with your menu has the image 1 pixel too wide. I don't know that that hurts, but ... well, up to you to adjust, etc.

Let Gold+ members vote to mute!!!
i'm expanding on kratos1010 idea of GOLD+ ppl being able to mute someone. If someone is spamming the box, the GOLD+ should be able to vote on whether or not he should be muted, and if a certain amount of ppl agree, he gets muted for around 15-45 minutes depending on the amount of votes he gets, 2 to mute for 15min, 3 for 20, 4 for 30.

Cord Blood Stem Cell Banking Benefits
What is Cord Blood?
Cord blood comes from a newborn's umbilical cord and is collected immediately after birth. Once the umbilical cord has been clamped and cut, the remaining blood in the umbilical cord is drawn into a collection bag.
A Medical Resource
This blood contains powerful stem cells that have been used to regenerate healthy blood and immune systems in more than 30,000 transplants worldwide.68
Doctors are using cord blood to save lives today and researching cord blood as potential treatment for diseases that currently have no cure.
Are cord blood stem cells different than other stem cells?
Yes. Cord blood stem cells are biologically younger and are more flexible compared to adult stem cells from other sources like bone marrow. When saved, they have unique qualities and advantages:
- Less risk of complications when used in transplants39
- Ability to use one's own stem cells for conditions that currently lack medical treatment options, also known as "autologous transplantation"
- Immediately available and can minimize disease progression in early treatment40
- Preserving them "stops the clock" and protects the cells from aging and being exposed to environmental factors and common viruses that can decrease their function41
Stem cells can heal the body, promote recovery, and offer an enormous amount of therapeutic potential. Learn about families who have used their stem cells here.

Contact information: Charlie,
AD7MD Linda,
NI7Y CCDAntennas
The fact is, the more metal you have in the air, the better your antenna is going to work for you. Both transmit AND receive. A normal half wave dipole on 40 is 66' long. Imagine one that is 114' or even 230' but is still resonant across the entire band? An 80 meter half wave dipole is 132; long. How about one that is 230' long instead, but still resonant and usually under 2:1 across the entire band? That's what is so special about our antennas. More antenna, yet still resonant so there's no tuner needed. Through some intensive modeling and testing we've found that perfect set of designs to give you two bands on each antenna and both are at least double or triple the length of a dipole for the same bands. Bigger is better! If you are looking for:
For those of you who want to know how and why it works on a technical level please visit AD7MD's web site and get the full scoop. He's always happy to answer questions too. Check out reviews on eHam! The CCD antenna is like nothing else on the market. And it just might be that bit of magic you've been looking for. CCD means Controlled Current Distribution. This is a full wave dipole (or can be a long wire style) that has a series of capacitors mounted along the wire on specially designed boards. The capacitors allow us to have a impedance that is able to be matched to ladder line or baluns while having an antenna about twice as long as a standard half wave dipole. See the About CCDs for more info on this. This antenna is well worth looking into. We have a full set of articles that have appeared over the years that shows the advantages of the CCD. The disadvantage has always been that they are a total pain to build. Now, for the first time, you can have one that is commercial quality and built to last!
Q : What is it?A: It's a full wave dipole that has anywhere from 22 to 28 capacitors evenly spaced along the wire. Q: What does 'controlled current distribution' mean? A: The name is misleading because it's not really about current. It's about bringing a full wave antenna to an impedance that can be matched with our various feel line limitations of 50-600 ohms. Q: What
else does the antenna do other
than put more wire in the air for me?
Q: What bands are available?
Q: Can I use it on other bands?
Q: Can I feed several CCDs with
the same coax? (assuming no remote antenna switch
- those work okay) Check out the various magazine article collection on CCDs (you'll see it's not just us who think these are
pretty darned dynamic antennas!) Take a look at the coverage charts See how we build them! (yeah, messy shop, but great antennas come out of it!) Below is a peek at the capacitors as they are on the antenna. These are VERY strong antennas! Below shows a completed 20/40 meter antenna ready to install!! |

Daybreak: In D.C., Bibi Backs J'lem Building
But Obama is more powerful than ever; and more in the news
• "Jerusalem is not a settlement," Prime Minister Netanyahu declared to the AIPAC Conference, defending Israeli building; "it is our capital." More on Bibi's speech at 10 am. [NYT]
• An IDF soldier was killed in friendly fire. His fellow troops were engaged in halting three Palestinians trying to cross over the Gaza border. [NYT]
• The parents of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit begged the U.N. Human Rights Council to pressure Hamas to release their son. [JPost]
• President Obama is in a stronger position to negotiate with Netanyahu than he was even 48 hours ago, due to the passage of health care reform. They meet at the White House tonight. [Politico]
• Britain is expelling the Mossad's representative there in protest of the forged British passports allegedly used in the (probably Mossad-backed) assassination of a Hamas weapons man in Dubai. [Haaretz]
• The mayor of Jerusalem helpfully noted that the 1600 announced homes in East Jerusalem is just the tip of the iceberg: there are, he said, plans to build 50,000 homes in a united city over the next two decades. [Arutz Sheva]

Blizzard's success with equalizing content {WoW}
May 15th 2009 1:32PM When I was a kid, our local diner had something called pinball machines (Raise your hand if you remember these). My favorite pinball machine had lots of loops, bonus rounds and thing-a-ma-jingies, and was, in my opinion close to an epic pinball machine. But my mates never played on that, but chose the neighboring machine, which had much fewer loops, bonus rounds and thing-a-ma-jingies. I never understood why it was so, but one of my mates enlightened me: "your machine only goes up to 999,999 points, and this one goes all the way up to 999,999,999, so its way cooler than yours."
Is it really much funnier to pit your 20k health toon against a 40k health mob, than it is to pit a 2k health toon against a 4k health mob? Does it really make for a much more "Epic encounter"?

So I was working myself up to QQ a bit about how I had busted my balls to get the other holiday-achievements, just to have Noblegarden come and smash my hopes of getting a Violet Proto-Drake this year.
Now it seems like Lady Luck has smiled on me, so I'll have to find something else to QQ about... :)

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sabrina!
Facts about Sabrina
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Gray Or Blue (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Sabrina's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
Hi, I'm Sabrina. I know the pics aren't too good, we're working on that. I am a beautiful medium hair gray with white toes kitty. I love people but am a bit shy until I know you. I'm not so sure I would be good with dogs, because they used to chase me. I am what my Foster Mom calls me, "Sweet". I have been spayed, vaccinated and am FeLv negative. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 218.591.7200 for an application. You won't be disappointed, I promise.
Other Pets at Oreo's Kitty Rescue Group
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sabrina, a Proctor Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Proctor, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Proctor.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Proctor already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Proctor breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Proctor paves the way for another one to be saved.

That criticism is misguided. The investigation raised important questions—and not just about Sunrise. All law enforcement agencies have an incentive to make a profit on drug busts, especially in "reverse stings" like the ones Sunrise was conducting. And even if you don't give much weight to civil liberties concerns, and view the department's motivations in the most charitable light, it's appropriate for members of the community to know about—and have an opportunity to debate—the extraordinary tactics used by local police. Without oversight, things can go awry—as seems to have happened at other departments.
The Sun Sentinel's work here was detailed, comprehensive, thoughtful, and compelling. It was a big journalistic result after a big investment of resources—exactly what the paper's editor says he wants to see.

Leonard Cohen To Play Bass Hall Oct 31 & Nov 1, 2012
Sixth Concert Added To 2012 Tour In Past 2 Weeks
A second Austin concert has been added to the 2012 Leonard Cohen Old Ideas World Tour, which already included an October 31, 2012 stop at Bass Concert Hall. The second 2012 Austin concert is scheduled for November 1.1 Tickets go on sale on June 8. The official announcement notes there will be a Forum presale on June 5, 2012.
The November 1st Austin concert is the sixth show added to the 2012 Leonard Cohen Old Ideas World Tour since May 21, 2012:
- Dublin – Sept 15 (added May 21, 2012)
- Montreal – Nov 29 (added May 22, 2012)
- Toronto – Dec 5 (added May 28, 2012)
- Bucharest – Sept 22 (added May 30, 2012)
- Boston – Dec 16 (added June 4, 2012)
As can be seen, multiple changes have been made in the 2012 Leonard Cohen Old Ideas World Tour schedule. For the current schedule, see LeonardCohenFiles 2012 Tour.
This Won't Be Leonard Cohen's First Rodeo In Austin
Leonard Cohen's April 1, 2009 Austin concert, which opened the US leg of the previous Leonard Cohen World Tour,2 was also the first public performance of "Lullaby." Striking photos from that show, such as the above shot by Laura Lea Nalle, as well as a review of the performance can be found at Leonard Cohen In The Eyes Of Texas.
Leonard Cohen's performance on the October 31, 1988 episode of Austin City Limits, routinely designated as his "first major performance on American television," can be viewed at Improved Version Of 1988 Leonard Cohen Austin City Limits Show Online,3
Leonard Cohen concerts also took place in Austin on Nov 1, 1988 (Opry House), and July 11, 1993 (The Back Yard).4
- It would be unseemly for DrHGuy to comment on the rumor that the new Austin concert has been scheduled on November 1st to commemorate his birthday. In any case, there are alternative explanations – Mr Cohen could, for example, be celebrating All Saints' Day, which also takes place on the first day of the eleventh month. By the way, Leonard, please let Kezban know that I prefer an apple or carrot cake. [↩]
- As noted in the Heck Of A Guy post, Leonard Cohen Rumored To Open US Tour In Austin, published January 21, 2009, weeks before the official announcement. [↩]
- Cohen also performed on the July 12, 1993 Austin City Limits show which is less accessible. [↩]
- Is This What You Wanted by Jim Devlin [↩]

Women Rule the Wine Cellars of New York

Two of this season's most anticipated restaurants — the three-star Dovetail and Ed Brown's Eighty One — launched with female sommeliers. Former  Daniel sommelier and wineshop owner Jean Luc Le Dû recently remarked to Grub Street that only a few years ago, non-white males in the role were considered an anomaly. Today, only three women (and 21 men) in the United States have the coveted "Master of Wine" designation, awarded to 264 sommeliers throughout the world. But in New York, women helm some of the city's most respected wine programs, including Gramercy Tavern, the Modern, and the entire B.R. Guest group. We interviewed several of these ladies of the cellar for their ideas on the industry, their experiences on the floor, and picks on retail value bottles. Look for them at restaurants near you. —Alexandra Vallis Slideshow: Women in Wine

Brittany and Sam saw Puck's Parking Lot Duets and decided to raise the show one Mayan Prophecy. In terms of character traits, this was dead on. Clearly those two, who together are a couple tracks short of an EP, would be all about Mayan Doomsday. Their plot had some funny moments -- I particularly liked when Brittany gave Marley a Rolodex -- but it took a weird too-far twist when Sam proposed after "Jingle Bell Rock." ("Speaking of rocks…") I realize the two didn't actually get married, but they thought they did, which seemed more than a little odd to me. But who am I to get caught up in realism? This is Glee!
Speaking of getting caught up in realism, someone finally did and I was happy to see that Marley's mom realized her daughter had an eating disorder and wanted to get her a therapist. Holiday downside: This meant no Christmas stuff for them this year so that all of their money could go toward getting Marley some help (I guess Emma was out of the question?). As luck and plotting and Christmas miracles would have it, however, there was also a staff Secret Santa and Sue picked Millie Rose, a.k.a Marley's mom. Sue overheard Marley's convo with her mom about no Christmas, and it was enough to make even Sue's heart grow three sizes. She broke into their house (like Santa!) and gave them a tree, presents, and $800 cash.
ASIDE: I don't want to focus on it, but was anyone else really surprised by how vicious Sue's comments were about Marley's mom's weight? I totally understand that Sue saying outrageous things is part of the game, but I was genuinely shocked by some of what was coming out her mouth – and also how there was a complete lack of reaction from anyone else. Agree? Or am I being Scrooge-y?
Anyway, the comments didn't seem to bother Millie, who came to thank Sue personally after Becky (bribed by candy) told Millie who left the presents. Millie shared that Marley wanted to thank Sue as well, and that her present was in the auditorium. "Does this involve the Glee club singing in the auditorium with snow falling in an elaborate winter scene? …Yup, ok. This is exactly what I just described." Sue's deadpan delivery during that whole exchange had me cracking up. "It shows just how little you know me if you think this is something I would enjoy," she said as she settled down to watch. But enjoy it she did, as the whole current Glee club – plus Finn, because what the heck else was he doing? – sang "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," while Jake, Puck, Sam and Brittany sang the tune at Breadstix, and Kurt and Blaine sang along in NYC. Sadly, no cruise cutaway of Rachel (presumably dazzling this ship with "O Holy Night"). We had to settle for Becky in the wings of the stage, making the snow fall, creating McKinley's very own winter wonderland.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a book that tells you how to get your toddler to sleep through the night? DS's sleep pattern is rather erratic, he wakes up at least twice during the night and hasn't slept through the night even once since he was probably 9 months old - that was 7 months ago :-(
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't know of a book, but when my dr. recommended the Ferber method--not letting them cry it out, but not giving in either. Wait 5 minutes before going in, the next time wait 10, etc. until it just isn't worth the child's effort. I'm sure if you looked up Ferber on the web, you'd get lots of info. It suited my parenting style, too--lovingly consistent, letting a child know they can "count" on me, but trying not to be manipulated, etc. It seemed good middle ground stuff and it worked. I started having a problem around 9 months, too, during cold and flu season. What started out as sympathy on my part ended up as routine for DD--several wake-ups with mommy running in. Within a week, the Ferber method greatly improved everyone's sleep. She's now 2.5 and I have had to go back to it occasionally (after a vacation, illness etc.) but it's not taken more than 2 nights to get her "back on track"--with the exceptions of nightmares, of course, which do require cuddles. Good luck and hope you get some rest. |
Thanks much. I found a lot of information on the Ferber method at babycenter.com. Will read the info and then give it a try. |

Authenticity is Beauty |
Your style is your brand. And, your style is more than what you wear, or how you decorate your home. It's marked by everything from your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon, to how you take your coffee. It's perfectly your own. It's who you are. We take who you are, and turn it into a wedding. How? We know style. Before we started planning & designing weddings, we spent years working in the realms of event marketing and brand imaging. A huge part of successful brand imaging is learning what the brand is all about. It's about learning the brand's style. And because we know words like brand and "brand experience" seem like curious ways to describe wedding planning & design, we'd like to show you what we mean. A brand is a collection of symbols, experiences, and associations connected with a product, a service, a person or any other artifact or entity. Brands have become increasingly important components of culture and the economy, now being described as "cultural accessories and personal philosophies". (Klein, Naomi 2000 No Logo) More importantly, a "brand experience" is our focus at Shi Shi Events. A "brand experience" is the sum of all points of contact with the brand. It's what creates a lasting bond between the brand, and traditionally speaking, the consumer. At Shi Shi Events, it's what creates a lasting bond between you the couple, your guests, and your wedding day. With the right "brand experience" your wedding will be timeless and completely unforgettable. In our first meetings together we'll help you to discover your wedding style, and use it to select your location and vendors, as well as to create the design elements that will tell your story. Together, we'll develop the details that will become the little gems your guests will uncover throughout the evening. And, all along the planning process we'll ensure your overall desired look and feel encompasses all of the choices we make, to ensure your wedding is flawless and completely cohesive in its design. Discover the services that best fit your needs in our "How May We Help You?" section. Then, why not call us to chat? 440-623-3822 Your initial consultation is complimentary. |

Storm Damage from Sandy
Thank you to Bartlett Tree Company for coming to our rescue and cleaning up the fallen trees!
A weekend at the Bartlett Arboretum just before Sandys arrival saw over 2000 local children
and their families enjoying the fun of the free aMAZEing Halloween event with a hay maze, face painting,
magician, pumpkin painting, crafts and more.
Just 24 hours later...
we were lucky that our childrens educator Brad Nagle, his new wife Allie and their two shelter dogs were not seriously injured when a towering 100 year old pine dissected the roof above their bedroom in the Bartlett Cottage. Shaken as they were sitting in the living room just below the bedroom, they sought shelter in the basement of the Silver Educational Center to ride out the storm. We are thankful for those who have reached out to offer them a warm place to stay. The cottage is destroyed and the property lost over two dozen trees to the winds and sustained damage to fences, lighting, signage and more. Insurance will help recover some of our losses, but, as you can guess,never all. Fortunately, our staff and the Nagles are all safe... other losses can be repaired or replaced.
Our Annual Appeal was being printed and prepared to mail prior to the hurricane.... BUT NOW WE MAKE THIS EXTRA APPEAL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! As you consider your donation for this years appeal, please give generously to help us preserve and restore all that you treasure at the Bartlett Arboretum.
Donate to our Annual Appeal Now!!

Take that fraught premise and toss in some vampires, werewolves, warlocks, faeries, and a teenage love triangle, and you've got the general idea. In City of Lost Souls, the gripping fifth installment, Clary's boyfriend, Jace, is bound to the villain Sebastian: Kill one, and the other dies too. With a movie version of the series in the works, now's the time to jump on the bandwagon. Start with City of Bones and prepare to be hooked. B+

We need to make some decisions on stucco. The person we talked to speaks very little English, making it even harder to understand. We read up on GW a bit. but cannot get a better picture Questions |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most finish coat acrylic that I have used/saw comes in 5 gallon buckets and is basic white and it is mixed to a custom color when you purchase it just like paint. There are a bunch of different colors available and most everyone in my area goes with integrated color. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Colors
I would use colored through acrylic (more consistent and crack resistant than cement stucco) WITH A CORRECTLY INSTALLED drainage plane. Because without it, it is of the devil !!!!!! |

LOTO and jrldh, Thanks for chiming in. We are also close to this decision and your input is valuable M_N_A, I was eagerly waiting for some one to chime it. We are most likely going with the Acrylic and integrated color. in regards to texture I got the impression that smooth finish could be more expensive but have not discussed how much. Once I talk to our contractor/stucco guy I will report back what I fins out. |

I saw the responses to the Chicago question, and am impressed, I'll be in Charlotte, NC for a week, is there anything out there? We were thinking of goign to the blue ridge run, or whatever it's called too.
Oops, that's not my beer.
Go to any Taco Mac. They are not as good as the original in Little Highlands Atlanta but they do have many beers. Many are good.
Definitely check out Noda Brewing and Birdsong Brewing -- they are literally right next to each other, and both make awesome beer. There is a good beer bar in the Noda (stands for North Davidson) area called Growlers Pour House worth checking out, and it you want tacos, check out Cabo which is practically across the street from Growlers
Not to hi-jack the thread, but are there any other good places down by the convention center?
Noda is really good. Check these out http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/city/58
Thank you for the input, I will probably go visit Noda and Birdsong, maybe the Carolina Ale House (talk about a lot of beers). F.Y.I. Berkdale is awesome, it has bars, wine bars, all kinds of things to do, and it's all walking distance. and another F.Y.I. North Carolina sets up road blocks equiped with breathalyzers........almost every weekend.
And that is not hi-jacking, that is definitely on point.
Carolina Ale House is great. If you order the wings ask for them grilled.
Old McKlenburg is always fun, very German'esque place. MC

Neng Thao (right) was among the dozen or so students from the Hmong Student Association this week who helped take a plot of unused land and turn it into a garden. At harvest time, all the tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini and other vegetables will be donated to the Campus Kitchens program.
MANKATO — A garden plot at Minnesota State University that has sat dormant for several years is now being resurrected for a good cause.
The Amos Owen Garden of American Indian Horticulture, which hasn't been tended since its founder retired, was invaded by a dozen members of the Hmong Student Association this week.
Within a few hours the students hoed away the weeds, installed short fences to keep out rabbits and put a few dozen tomato, zucchini and squash plants into the ground, along with seeds for lettuce and other vegetables.
Come harvest time, the benefactor will be the Campus Kitchens program, the volunteer-driven effort that takes unused food from the university's cafeterias and distributes it to the city's poor and homeless.
The Hmong students and the Campus Kitchens program came together when Mee Yang approached Kelly Meier, director of the Student Leadership Development and Service Learning office, about possibly starting up a student-run flower garden on campus.
Meier suggested the vegetable garden project, and the Hmong Student Association jumped at the chance.
"I thought it was really great," student Neng Thao said. "We can do something for MSU and the community, too."
The garden, named after the highly respected Dakota spiritual and community leader, sits between the Taylor Center and Trafton Science Center. It is about 900 square feet.
Photo by John Cross
The garden planted this week by the Hmong Student Association is on the site of the Amos Owen Garden of American Indian Horticulture, a project maintained for years by a now-retired professor. The plot, which used to contain plants and grasses used by American Indians, has been dormant for two seasons.
Student Leadership office representatives Tarah Bjorklund and Samantha Eckerson said one of the biggest needs in the Campus Kitchens program is fresh fruit and vegetables. With the garden's tomatoes and cucumbers, they can provide healthy salads. Tomatoes also can be used in preparing pasta sauces.
So far the program has served nearly 2,000 meals to the needy, and hundreds of students have stepped forward to volunteer. The program also partners with instructors to incorporate the program's needs into its teaching. Business students, for example, learned the basics of setting up a charitable organization while launching Project Apple, which will collect apples from residents and give them to Campus Kitchens.
The garden, though, will be chiefly run by the Hmong Student Association. They've vowed to water it daily, weed it weekly or as needed, and, in the fall, harvest it.
For some of these students, gardening is in their blood.
"I've been gardening for a long time," Kay Xiong said. "I grew up working in a garden with my family."
Thao says most of the students in the Hmong Student Association were born in refegee camps in Thailand, although at least one was born in Minnesota. As a group they have enrolled in the state's Adopt-A-Highway program, host an annual Culture Day event and are available to give presentations to high schools.
Association members who showed up for the garden project this week either stayed in Mankato for work or are taking summer classes.
Some of what will go into the garden this year has been donated. Drummers Garden Center and Floral donated half the plants. The rest were purchased by the Campus Kitchens program. Home Depot threw in a hose.
Hopefully, said Bjorklund and Eckerson, they'll be able to get all the supplies and plants donated next year. They'll also spend a few bucks to put up a new sign.
The rest, Bjorklund said, will be up to the students.
"They're the ones that have the experience," she said. "They know what they're doing."
Indeed. Within an hour after their arrival, they already had the entire plot weeded and ready for planting.
"This just betters the campus," Bjorklund said. "And it's better than a dirt pile."

[693] Characterization of Rectal, Proximal and Distal Colon Cancers Based on Clinicopathological, Molecular and Protein Profiles
P Minoo, I Zlobec, M Peterson, L Terracciano, A Lugli. University of California San Diego, San Diego, CA; Institute of Pathology, University Hospital of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that colorectal cancer should be viewed as a heterogeneous disease, with proximal and distal colorectal cancers showing multiple biological and clinical differences. The aim of this study was to perform a clinicopathological, molecular and protein characterization of proximal and distal colon carcinomas and rectal cancers in order to develop a profile of these tumors and thus providing insight into their pathogenesis and oncogenic behavior.
Design: 399 colorectal cancer patients were evaluated for clinicopathologic and molecular features including K-RAS, BRAF and MSI status. These tumors were also screened for expression of 36 tumor-associated and 14 lymphocyte/inflammatory-associated protein markers.
Results: Proximally located tumors show significantly larger tumor size, higher T-stage, higher tumor grade (p<0.001 each) and more frequent mucinous histologic subtype (p=0.038) compared to the distal colon and rectum. The frequency of BRAF mutation and MSI-high phenotype were significantly higher in proximal colon cancers (p=0.002 each). Expression of 11 tumor-associated markers (CDX2, CD44v6, CD44s, TOPK, nuclear beta-catenin, pERK, APAF-1, E-Cadherin, MUC2, p21 and bcl2) and 4 tumor immunologic markers (CD68, CD163, FoxP3 and TIA-1) was found to be significantly different between rectum, left- and right-sided tumors. In multivariate analysis CD44s, CD44v6, nuclear beta-catenin and CD68 expression was found to best discriminate left- versus right sided colon cancers (p=0.037, p<0.001, 0.001 and 0.017). Tumor diameter, pT stage and MSI status best distinguish right-sided colon cancers from rectal cancers (p=0.005, 0.002 and 0.033) and pT stage and E-Cadherin best discriminate left-sided colon cancers and rectal cancers (p=0.004 and 0.016).
Conclusions: Rectal cancers, proximal and distal colon cancers vary significantly with respect to their clinicopathological, molecular characteristics and protein expression profiles. This data along with existing evidence for the presence of distinct regional embryological origin and gene expression profile is highly supportive of the concept that proximal and distal CRCs are distinct clinicopathologic entities. This concept has practical implications in prevention and treatment of both familial and sporadic CRCs.
