Very nicely done. I LOVE your floors. I haven't seen acacia before, it's gorgeous. |
Congratulations! What year was the original kitchen? It wasn't as awful as mine, but I doubt you miss it. I love and envy that bar, I would wait for a remnant, too! Your big faucet looks perfect in front of that fabulous window. |
We built the house in 1984 so lots of honey oak! Soon hopefully my master bath will no longer be dusty rose with burgundy sink, tub and shower! Oh yea we also put carpet in the master bath!? What were we thinking? |
Very pretty kitchen! I love that big window with the corner sink having that view! I love your hardwood floors! I love your counters (can you give the details for your counters... please.... ). Everything goes so well and the kitchen looks so warm, inviting and beautiful. Thank you for sharing. |
Beautiful! We also had carpet in our master bath. It was a mid-80's thing here. I really like your new breakfast set. The base is very striking. We have had a glass table for years and have changed out our chairs a few times when I redecorated. It really opens up your kitchen. Enjoy! |
Awesome! You will love love love the Acacia floors! We have it throughout our entire house and it is so great. Nice to see it used in others renovation! |
Kimsig, the Tobacco granite is beautiful! Your floors are gorgeous also! |
Beautiful kitchen! |
That window! To die for! And what a lovely view. |

All of it....granite, floors, and cabinets are beautiful. I hope you enjoy the space for many years to come! |
beautiful and elegant, I love it !! |
Great redo! Just losing the ceiling light was worth it! (I used to have one just like it;) Cant wait to see if you do some great artwork to the right of the fridge. Kitchen's beautiful. |
The combination of your floors, cabinet color (beautiful cabinets) & granite is striking. I love your big windows & your view. Scrolling through your pics, the Acacia looks stunning with every piece of furniture you've put on it. Your going to have to treat us to another reveal once your hardware & bar top are in. I have the dusty rose master bath too, tile & paint. Dusty rose toilet was in a powder room. Edit:typos |

Never fail to be amazed by kitchen re-models where the 'before' pic has me thinking 'that's not so bad' and then the great after pics elicit a 'whoa!'. Your new kitchen looks wonderful! The floors are especially beautiful, I agree with that comment. And how do you like your faucet? I've got one almost exactly like it (not yet installed) and I'm wondering how you like using it? |

So nice! What light fixtures are those? (My obsession of this week). Did you manage to fit a drawer in just below the cooktop, or is that a panel? (I thought that vegetation looked familiar-- we're neighbors.) |
What a difference! It's gorgeous. I also like the way you removed the return on the doorway into the dining room. It opened up the space so much! The granite and the floors are beautiful. And what was it about carpeting in the bathrooms? (Another neighbour here who recognized the evergreen vegetation - OT but my DS1 and DH have crossed the border to go to the Seahawks game today which should be so exciting). |
We are renovating our kitchen and are about the stage you are at. I'm so happy to see a kitchen that's not white. My cabinets are cherry and I was feeling a bit intimidated on this site because it seems that everyone is doing white. Don't get me wrong, the white kitchens are beautiful but I love the beauty of wood grain. I think you have done a wonderful job and your floors and cabinets are beautiful. Please post once you've gotten the pulls and knobs. I am looking for hardware this week. |
Kim Wow - great job - I love your granite, your island and your floors! Love your window - do you have any moose that come visit? (Fortunately only deer in our area and our view is not very interesting) I just want to come over and have a cup of tea at your island. (OK, I live in the midwest but can dream) Congratulations A2Gemini PS - I can't wait to attack our master BR - We went over budget for our kitchen, so it will be delayed - but a great way to see what everyone else does! |
Absolutely lovely. The floors are awesome, the granite is great and the cabs are really pretty. Everything works so well together...very warm and inviting. Can't wait to see what you choose for the backsplash. |
Yes ppbenn losing that horrible overhead light was fantastic, but I think we got our 40 bucks out of it! I think we picked it up at a Ernest clearance sale when we built the house. We had to save anywhere we could. Deedles we love love the faucet. I was a bit nervous about installing it because it is so tall but I love the look, but mostly I love how it functions with my deep single basin sink. Lori the lights are Kichler Hendrik collection. I ordered them online and had not seen them in real life until they arrived but they are exactly what I hoped for. Very well made. No moose here in Gig Harbor, Wa but we do have deer and tons of wild rabbits. It's amazing you NW people picked up on the vegetation just from the kitchen window view, good eye! |
It looks gorgeous! We take possession in a month, and our floors will be engineered hardwood in Acacia throughout(it's a spec home and our first home). I can't wait to see our floors so seeing yours is a special treat! Not many acacia floors in here. I will post a picture when mine are done. |
I will keep coming back to your reveal so I can drool some more. I see more great things each time I return. I think using a different counter for that beautiful bar I will look great! What are you thinking for your backsplash and pulls? We don't want to leave you in the ABB club, although you have a few items to finish Wow- gig harbor needs its own meet up I think rhome4 also lives in the area as well. Keep those pictures coming. |

Your remodel is beautiful! I have never been a fan that tilted funny shaped island, so I especially appreciate that you straightened it out and enlarged it. Looks so much better to me! Are you also liking the move for the refridgerator? I like that move too and am assuming that it now gives you two ovens since I would bet that your oven was in the island? I can't see it in the before pics. Very nice and your counters are gorgeous! |
Great job! I really like the new layout. Isn't it so nice to be finished, but what do we obsess over now......... It's beautiful, enjoy! |
Gorgeous kitchen! Love everything, especially the floors |
Congratulations! Your faucet and counters are amazing. |

Kimsig Fantastic job.... Nice kitchen. Do have a question on your countertop You say it's granite.... |
Pental is where we bought our slabs here in seattle/Tacoma Wa area. There is granite named Tobacco and also a quartz named Tobacco! Ours is granite but we did see the slabs of quartz and they are similar in color to our granite. If you go to Pentals website there are pictures of both products Kim |
What a gorgeous space - thank you for sharing. How do you like the downdraft behind the induction cooktop? Is it adequate? |
- Posted by cruzinpattis (My Page) on Thu, Jan 23, 14 at 21:06
Thanks KimSig for clarifying. |
I have been looking at Acacia flooring…yours is gorgeous! Is it solid or engineered? Can you give me more information about it? Thanks! |
- Posted by buildingsoon (My Page) on Tue, Feb 18, 14 at 9:28
KimSig - Love how it turned out! Wondering how much granite overhang is on your island? Looks like a perfect length. |
Absolutely beautiful!!! Love the wood floors against your cabinets and your beautiful granite! Quite a striking combination and lots of great counter space! Love the calm feeling of the new colors and the great window. I was wondering if you like the switch of the refrigerator and ovens and how that has improved things for you. A possible thought for your bar area (very nice BTW) countertop is if they still have the granite piece from your cooktop cutout (a remnant they or you kept?) that you could use that in the center and have all four of the edges (1-3" border or so depending on total size) in a black or darker granite. So it looks like a dark piece with your same georgeous granite in the middle, does that make sense? Or if they don't have that remnant, you could get a black or darker granite as the large center and have the edges (again a 1-3" border or so or more) with your same tobacco granite if they or you kept any even smaller sections. That might give you some options and blend what you already have very well. Just a suggestion :). I'm sure you will find something right for the space. Great transformation!!! |
Pwanna1, we love love the acacia floor. It still makes me stop and look at it when I come downstairs in the morning! It almost glows, the colors are beautiful! Ours is solid 3/4 in hardwood. The brand is Kentwood natural Acacia antiqued. It is distressed and has the handscraped look. I wanted something that would not show if I dropped something and dinged the floor. Also we have a 55 lb dog who has nails that we can't seem to get very short. It is a very hard floor and we would highly recommend this floor. Building soon, our granite has a eyebrow curve on the barstool side that is 15 at the widest and 12 towards the end. Our granite fabricator suggested we go as long as we could and not wate any of the island slab so each end is a 8 inch over hang. It gives me more counter space and although we don't keep any barstool at the end if we had a crowd we could seat someone at each end even though it is not the proper depth for seating. |

I will be in San Diego CA around serra mesa this week. Can somebody recommend a good nursery or farmer market to look for fruit trees. |
Follow-Up Postings:
These are my favorites... Exotica in Vista for hard to find fruit trees from all around the world. They also have a lot of different varieties of figs, tropical guavas, that you wont find at most nurseries. Kniffings in El Cajon for stone fruit. They carry a lot of Dave Wilson trees. Their prices tend to be as good or better than other places that sell Dave Wilson trees. Evergreen in Carmel Valley for citrus. Usually a pretty good selection and a decent price for citrus. Tom |

Bonita Creek Nursery in Bonita (Dave is a CRFG member and has a very broad selection, lots of unusual varieties, but call first so he's there. Worth going to), Clausen's Nursery in Vista, down the street from Exotica. Best citrus trees in N. San Diego county period, tell Ray Patty Sliney sent you. Ganter Nursery on the corner of Vista Way and Gopher Canyon, very lovely people, lots and fruit trees all the time. Walter Andersen Nursery in Poway and also in San Diego (on Enterprise), good selection of fruit trees, especially during bare root season. One of the few nurseries left in San Diego county the heels them in with wet shavings and charges a reasonable amount for true bare root trees :-) And Evergreen also has a nursery in Oceanside as well, if you're up more in N. county.

Each year our Career Services office works with Covenant Seminary students in their final year of study to help them pursue a ministry position that meets their area of gifting and interest. The resulting placement rates have been remarkably high.
Over the past decade, Covenant Seminary has consistently seen more than 90% of our graduates finding placement in the area of their pursuit. Specifically in 2012-13, the MDiv placement rate was 96.5%, with 81% of our MDiv graduates from that year going into traditional church-based roles around the world: as solo pastors, assistant/associate pastors, youth ministers, campus ministers, and missionaries.
Career Services takes a unique approach to ministerial placement. Joel Hathaway, director of alumni and career services, meets with graduating students in their final year to assess what their unique personality type and gifting mean for vocational ministry. He also counsels them toward avenues of ministry that could be the best fit for helping them--and those whom the Lord puts in their care--flourish. On top of this Joel regularly meets with church and organizational search committees to counsel them on how to best understand, and thus hire for, the roles they have open.
Joel notes, "We are committed to walking alongside our graduates as they discern an initial call to ministry, and as they consider transitions throughout their career. We provide a valuable connection to a network of more than 3,500 alumni in every state and more than 40 nations, maintain a database of ministry openings, and offer help in understanding each person's unique ministry gifts, the contexts in which they would be best employed, and practices for communicating their individual skill sets to potential churches. If your church or organization is looking to fill an opening, let us know about it. We may be able to help."
To learn more about this free service, contact Joel at email@example.com.

Boys bowling: Highland bowlers have come together during postseason run
BY ANTHONY NASELLA Post-Tribune correspondent February 14, 2013 11:10PM
From left, Highland junior Logan Rosing, sophomore Jonathan Payne, sophomore Adam Batliner and junior Taylor Peters pose at Plaza Lanes Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, in Highland, Ind. | Scott M. Bort~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: March 17, 2013 6:37PM
In just about every tournament over the past two months, the Highland boys bowling team has been performing more like an ideal team each time out, according to head coach Janee Babbitt.
Those words were never more accurate than when the Trojans not only qualified for Saturday's Indiana High School Bowling state finals at Mike Aulby's Arrowhead Bowl in Lafayette at last Saturday's semistate in South Bend, but they also won the title, defeating Lake Central in the semifinals and Northrop in the final.
The core of seven bowlers — Adam Batliner, Jonathan Payne, Tayler Peters, Jake Riffle, Logan Rosing, Jake Santos and Tyler Trombetta — will be shooting as a team for the highest goal Saturday: To return to Highland as state champs.
"The fire has been burning in these boys for a while," Babbitt said. "They're as good as any team in the state and they're proving it. We've been preaching spares; the boys only missed about six easy spares in the five Baker games at semistate. I told them they have to bowl as a team and I really think all of them have taken that to heart.
"My juniors (Peters, Santos and Rosing) have also stepped up to be leaders. We first denied Hobart an undefeated season, and then we advance out of regionals and later beat Lake Central at semistate and win there. My assistant, Tony Miller, has been great helping the kids in where to play on the modified lane patterns."
For the Trojans, the road to success really began to take shape at last month's sectional, where they defeated Duneland Conference champ and rival Hobart in the championship for the first time all season.
"We've really come together as a team over the past couple weeks," Batliner said. "About a month ago our coach gathered us together at Hobart said we need to really start bowling as a team if we're going to make it out of sectionals. Since then, we've been clicking as a team."
Despite falling short in the regional final against the Brickies, Highland used that setback as a stepping stone in preparation for what resulted in a history-making day in South Bend, where the team qualified second with 2,975 and then delivered in the big stepladder matches en route to the title.
"We've had trouble with Lake Central in the past," Payne said. "But we felt really confident going against them last week after our string of Baker games. We've been practicing our spares a lot in practice and I know that has helped us."
After the big win over the Indians, the team had to keep that balance of intensity and concentration against Northrop.
"We wanted to keep our intensity (in the final) and keep the strikes coming," Rosing said. "And we did that. When we couldn't strike, we picked up our spares. Winning semistate was a huge confidence boost. We have seven really good bowlers, but we're still trying to get all of us going at the same time.
"We're believing that it's going happen Saturday. We're all working toward the goal."

I'm baaaack! Lots of new things going on here, but first things first: the Flavor of the Month for December is Linzertorte. If you've never tasted this dessert, it's got a nutty crust, usually made with almonds or hazelnuts and sometimes chocolate, and a fruit filling, usually raspberry. It's so tasty we decided a linzertorte balm couldn't help but be fabulous! Give it a try!

I fumbled around with a version of this recipe early in my married years. Then when I was reading More with Less a few years ago, I saw Brown Tomato Gravy. (Do you own a More with Less? It is by far the cookbook I use the most, but I am biased because I am Mennonite and because this was the first cookbook I used).
Here is my version, which is a method more than a recipe. I love tomato gravy!
Tomato Gravy with Cream
Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a large cast-iron skillet.
Dredge in flour:
2-3 firm ripe tomatoes, sliced thickly
Lay floured tomatoes in butter on medium heat. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper. Allow to fry until the flour and butter are forming browned spots.
Flip tomatoes. Sprinkle with 1-2 Tbsp. brown sugar. A little more salt. Allow to fry again until brown spots form.
Turn the heat down to low. Pour in some heavy cream, probably not more than a 1/2 cup or even less; sometimes I've used just 2 little glugs. Break up the tomatoes a bit while the cream bubbles and thickens with the flour. There will be tomato skin pieces, which don't bother me, but I'm sure some people would skin their tomatoes first. Serve over toast, biscuits, or hash brown potatoes.
We ate the tomato gravy for breakfast over oven-roasted potatoes which were room temperature. My husband bought 7 lbs. of new potatoes this past week, so I roasted extra and I'm going to see what inspiration strikes, a la Tamar Adler.
The kids kicked a fuss over this breakfast; they wanted Cheerios. I ignored them. They ate heartily at lunch and supper, so everything is all right.

Glee News: Details on Jane Lynch's Divorce And Cory Monteith's Date Night
The Gossip Table has some Glee news to kick off your morning. Everyone is shocked to hear that Jane Lynch and her wife Dr. Lara Embry are calling it quits. But their split may turn out to be an expensive one. Delaina Dixon explains that California law could mean that everything is split 50/50 for the couple. Ouch, that's a lot of Glee money going to your ex.
And Marianne Garvey reports that Cory Monteith is fresh out of rehab and reunited with Lea Michele. Not only did Corey walk to red carpet with his girlfriend but the two had a date night, during which Monteith was spotted drinking water and staying sober.

Which Celebrities Attended The American Idol Season Finale, And Who Was The Winner?
Another year, and another season of American Idol has run its course. But before we tell you who the Season 11 winner is, we wanted to discuss who turned up for the results show. As expected, AI alumni swarmed. One of the most famous of this group is Carrie Underwood, who arrived looking super glam in Badgley Mischka along with her husband, Mike Fisher. Jordin Sparks looked lovely in white, along with Jason Derulo. Taylor Hicks, Fantasia, Pia Toscano, Haley Reinhart and a fair few posed on the carpet too. It was a particularly special night for two past Idol-ers. Remember Ace Young and Diana Degarmo? Well, they've been dating for some time now, and he actually proposed to her onstage at the show! She said yes, of course. We were also correct in assuming that Rihanna would have dreadlocks while performing, because that's precisely the look she rocked while singing "Where Have You Been."
Apart from the American Idol family, a few other familiar faces did pop up as well, to watch. Janice Dickinson, Jane Lynch, Melora Hardin, Chaka Khan, Julianne Hough and Jane Seymour were all spotted. But no matter who was in the audience, the night, quite rightly, belonged to the two final contestants — Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez. Who won the show? We've got the gallery of celebrities followed right by the jump, that'll take you to the answer!
10 Bold Colors That Perked Up The SAG Awards Red Carpet
There's been a whole lot of neutral and black going on this awards season, and that rather works to the advantage of the stars who chose the path less traveled and wore bold colors to the SAG Awards. They stand out all the more with their blues, pinks, greens and reds. From Emily Blunt's bright green Oscar de la Renta to Jessica Chastain's delicious blue Calvin Klein collection, the rainbow of gowns was all the more brilliant by the sun shining during the arrivals. Thank you, brave actors for making us sit up and take notice of you before you go off to congratulate yourselves for being brave actors.

Our Favorite Golden Globes Moments: The Artist's Dog, Penis Jokes And More
We actually had a scorecard ready to mark how many offensive things Ricky Gervais said at tonight's Golden Globes, but it seems that he decided to leave the raunch and insults to others. Most of it, at least. Anyway, here are our favorite silly, cute, funny and moving moments from the 69th annual awards show, in semi-chronological order:
» Ricky Gervais said he wasn't allowed to joke about Mel Gibson, or Jodie Foster's Beaver. "I haven't seen it myself; that doesn't mean it's not any good."
» Ricky continued his amusing relationship with Johnny Depp by asking him onstage: "Have you seen The Tourist?" To which Depp answered, "No."
» Julianne Moore and Rob Lowe very gracefully overcame a TelePrompTer fail. And Downton Abbey's Elizabeth McGovern tripped UP the stairs. And during one cutaway, we saw Dame Helen Mirren chewing. Thus proving stars' humanness once again.
» While standing next to Kate Beckinsale, Seth Rogen said, "Hello, I'm Seth Rogen, and I'm currently trying to hide a massive erection. " And then the camera cut away to a show of Jodie Foster's kids, for some reason.
» Speaking of kids, daughters seemed to be a big theme of the night. Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy winner Michelle Williams thanked her daughter, Matilda, for putting up with having months of bedtime stories in which "all the princesses were read aloud in a Marilyn Monroe voice." Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series or Miniseries winner Peter Dinklage thanked his daughter who was home with her first babysitter. Best Director winner Martin Scorsese thanked his daughter, Francesca, for introducing him to the book, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, on which Hugo is based.

People's Choice Awards Nominations By The Numbers: Vampires, Wizards And Alien Katy Perry
The nominees for the 2012 People's Choice Awards — the bane of all snooty critics — have been announced. And since you can go ahead and see all of the nominees when you go to vote (through December 6) for the show's winners, to be announced in the January 11 ceremony, we thought we'd concentrate on some important numbers revealed on the list.

0: Nominations for Deathly Hallows, Part 1, which came out last November and missed last year's cut-off.

6: Nominations for vampires, that's just from True Blood and The Vampire Diaries.
13: Last year's nominations for vampires, because Eclipse came out in the summer. Reminding us just how long it's been since we've had a Twilight movie!

Steve Jobs Dead: World Reacts To Loss Of A Visionary
It would be hard to overstate how much Apple co-founder Steve Jobs transformed our lives, from getting a mouse into our hands to introducing the touch screen, from how we listen to music to how we talk face-to-face on our mobile phones. In the end, Jobs definitely delivered on his "Think Different" advertising slogan. So it's not surprising that celebs from every walk of life took to Twitter and Facebook like the rest of us to share their condolences upon hearing that he lost his battle to cancer at the age of 56. R.I.P. Steve.

Lea Michele Spills Glee Details, Jane Lynch Nails Her With A Dodgeball
The only thing we like more than seeing Jane Lynch hit Cory Monteith in the face in this new Glee dodgeball video…nothing. That is the thing we like the most. Coming in a close second, however, is Lea Michele's Glee Season 3 plot points, which the star is happy to spill before the show's premiere on Sept. 20. "I know that I'm going to be in the high school musical, which I can't say but it's one of my dream roles–not Fanny Brice [of "FUNNY GIRL"]," Michele explained, adding "I know that they're going back to a lot of classic songs. From the first script it was not a lot of top 10 songs but older songs, which I love and am so excited to sing–and lots of Broadway." We can already hear the far-off squeaking of excited Gleeks! Unless that squeaking is just the satisfying sound of rubber hitting Mark Slling's face.
As for a rumored Glee spin-off, Michele dodges the question like it rocketed from the cannon-like arm of Sue Sylvester herself. "You know what's so funny is that I feel like so many people are looking so far ahead," she says. "And honestly for me, I know what is coming up for Rachel this season, and I'm so excited for that so I try not to get too far ahead of myself, and I'm just focused on what I have to do right now." Right, which would be throwing yourself in front of Artie like a human shield.

The Miracle of Damascus Part 24 - Ministry Videos
2453 views
Catholic Digital Studio has been given permission from Rick Salbato of Unity Publishing to re-produce and re-cut, for the Internet, this documentary series about a church-approved Marian apparition and a Syrian mystic named Myrna Nazzour. The video has an Imprimatur. The messages have a Nihil Obstat.
Myrna experiences visions of both the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus. In many of her ecstasies she's experienced the stigmata, caught on film. She has suffered Christ's wounds in her hands, feet and side, and the crown of thorns. She's felt the scourging of Our Lord.
Her skin exudes 100% pure Olive Oil with healing properties. It has secreted from her face, hands, ears, feet, neck, stomach and eyes during her ecstasies. This phenomena is unexplainable to scientists and psychologists. The later segments of the film contain their testimonials.
The Icon of Soufanieh also exudes the same oil, which has healed and blessed a vast multitude.
Myrna is Catholic. Her husband is Orthodox. Through her husband, she falls under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of Orthodoxy.
Myrna's story is pertinent to the unity of all Christians. God desires one flock, one visible shepherd and one form of Eucharistic worship. This film is about love, prayer and forgiveness. Perhaps Unity should start with the Eucharist. The Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI, writes in his new encyclical, Sacramentum Caritatis, these words: An emphasis on this Eucharistic basis of ecclesial communion can also contribute greatly to the ecumenical dialogue with the Churches and Ecclesial Communities which are not in full communion with the See of Peter. The Eucharist objectively creates a powerful bond of unity between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches, which have preserved the authentic and integral nature of the Eucharistic mystery is our hope that unity will happen in the near-future.
We petition the Bishops and Patriarchs to work for this. It is God's desire.

PROVIDENCE — The recent dismissal of a misdemeanor charge accusing a veteran Democratic campaign consultant of violating state election law by anonymously sending out negative campaign literature has some questioning the very constitutionality of the law itself.
Smithfield police in March charged consultant Robert Horowitz after investigating a complaint by former Republican town chairman James Archer. The complaint centered on a campaign flier and emails distributed on the eve of the 2012 election. The literature displayed a police report that led to Archer's arrest, along with the nephew of another Republican candidate, Richard Poirier, for vandalizing Democratic campaign signs.
Archer complained to police that the flier suggested he lacked integrity. It did not say that a judge later dismissed the charges.
Detectives traced the origin of the negative campaign material to New Bedford computer tech Benjamin Jones, according to a police report. Jones told police he was working for Horowitz, the campaign consultant for Stephen R. Archambault. Jones then billed Archambault, the report shows.
Archambault defeated Poirier for a state Senate seat. Archer lost to Democrat Gregory Costantino for the House.
The Smithfield police charged Horowitz with violating an election law that prohibits the intentional writing, printing, posting or distribution of a circular, flier or poster designed to injure or defeat a candidate unless the author's name is conspicuously displayed.
Although the charge was a misdemeanor, Horowitz opted to have the case tried in Superior Court, according to his lawyer, John E. MacDonald.
"I essentially wanted the attorney general to look at the statute right away," MacDonald said of the decision to move the case to Superior Court.
MacDonald questioned the state statute on First Amendment grounds. "Any blanket prohibition against the distribution of anonymous campaign literature is going to be unconstitutional," MacDonald said. Plus, the law fails to address the distribution of emails, which was at the heart of the Horowitz charge.
MacDonald argued the charge should be dismissed based on a 1995 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. That ruling struck down as unconstitutional an Ohio law that prohibited anonymous political or campaign literature.
Rhode Island's law was virtually identical to the Ohio law, prompting the attorney general's office to agree, based on the high court holding, said Amy Kempe, spokeswoman for the Rhode Island attorney general.
The American Civil Liberties Union wants the section of the law banning the distribution of anonymous negative campaign material off the books completely. The ACLU faults it as overbroad.
"Anonymous political speech has a very venerated position in our society," said Steven Brown, executive director of the state ACLU affiliate.
Court records indicate that Horowitz was the only person to be charged under the law since at least 1970, according to courts spokesman Craig N. Berke.
"Most police departments recognize it's not enforceable," Brown, of the ACLU, said, adding, "There's a real danger to having archaic laws hanging around."
Smithfield police are left scratching their heads. "Why is it still on the books?" Capt. Michael Rheaume said.
A bill to rescind the law, based on court precedent, stalled in 2008. Concerns were raised during the floor debate that it would permit anonymous political attacks, House spokesman Larry Berman said.
From Horowitz's perspective, the case was the result of "sour grapes" from the losing candidate and a "police department who did their bidding."
"The charges were politically motivated, and the case should never have been forward by Smithfield, but I am pleased the case has been dismissed," Horowitz said.
"All my actions were legal and appropriate," Horowitz said.
Horowitz, 55, ran Democrat Myrth York's campaigns for governor. More recently he worked with winning state Senate candidate Archambault, who did not return a phone call seeking comment Thursday.
Archer dismisses Horowitz's criticism.
"I was defamed. I was defamed anonymously. I followed the law, so it's not sour grapes," Archer said.
He called it a "pretty vicious trick" to send out misleading negative literature so late in the election. It gave him no time to respond, he said.
"Well, if the AG feels that the statute is no longer enforceable, that's a good thing for everyone in elections to know about," Archer said.
Superior Court Magistrate John F. McBurney III agreed earlier this week to seal Horowitz's Superior Court file.

Knit 1, Read Too! - We Are All Welcome Here
It is the summer of 1964. In Tupelo, Mississippi, the town of Elvis's birth, tensions are mounting over civil-rights demonstrations occurring ever more frequently-and violently-across the state. But in Paige Dunn's small, ramshackle house, there are more immediate concerns. Challenged by the effects of the polio she contracted during her last month of pregnancy, Paige is nonetheless determined to live as normal a life as possible and to raise her daughter, Diana, in the way she sees fit-with the support of her tough-talking black caregiver, Peacie. As the summer unfolds, hate and adversity will visit this modest home. Despite the difficulties thrust upon them, each of the women will find her own path to independence, understanding, and peace. And Diana's mother, so mightily compromised,will end up giving her daughter an extraordinary gift few parents could match.

"After I won in Atlantic City (at the ShopRite LPGA Classic), I definitely blew all my goals out, that's when I became the top American," Lewis said last week after winning the Navistar LPGA Classic. "I had won a couple times, those were kind of my two main goals. Now I have my sights set on Yani (Tseng). I think I've got the game to get there and it's just got to keep chipping away at Yani's lead. You know, this definitely helps a lot. Going forward just for the rest of this year, it's the same thing, giving myself a chance to win on Sunday and keep putting myself in contention and let the rest take care of itself."
Lewis' June victory moved her past Tseng in the Rolex Player of the Year standings for the first time, with a 123-120 advantage. Last week's win in Alabama expanded Lewis' lead to 56 points, with 184 points, over second-place Jiyai Shin. Shin moved to second with consecutive wins at the Kingsmill Championship and Ricoh Women's British Open earlier in September. Tseng has not scored any points since a T9 at the Sybase Match Play Championship in late May. The system rewards points for top-10 finishes ranging from 30 for first place down to one for 10th.
With a season-high 14 top-10 finishes and a propensity for playing every event on the schedule, it may be difficult to supplant Lewis for the remainder of the season. But South Korea's Shin and Taiwan's Tseng both have home country tournaments coming up in the Asian Swing and could make a late charge as Lewis aims to become the first American Player of the Year since Beth Daniel in 1994.
As for her ultimate goal of moving past Tseng in the Rolex Women's World Rankings, it may take a bit longer as Tseng currently has a 13.32-8.77 points advantage.

I am brand new to Japanese maples and have some questions. Sorry if some of these are obvious or redundant. 1. Can japanese maples (and magnolias, ginkgoes etc) be purchased now, potted and kept inside, and then planted outside after the frost date? 2. Is the Emperor 1 the best choice for a dark red JM for zone 5b? I am planning on planting a pair of trees next to a 6' fence. This fence would be just to the north of them giving them some protection from cold north winds. 3. What would be the best choice of JM for my zone that turns bright orange in fall? This tree will be planted near a burr oak and red oak.. 4. What is the difference between a grafted JM and one being sold in a gallon pot? If the same nursery is selling the same variety as grafted and then in gallon pots, what are the difference/ advantages of each? Thanks in advance! |

- Posted by maple_grove 6 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 20, 13 at 12:43
Hello! Here are some answers for you. 1. You should not bring newly potted plants inside now. The best thing would be to buy them at the right time for planting. If you're buying online, you can buy now and request that they ship at the right time for planting in your zone. If you must buy now, you can keep your new plants in an unheated garage until the ground thaws and you can plant them. This is likely in mid-late March. However, if it arrives fully leafed out, then you want to protect a JM until the risk of spring frost is past. I hope this helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Maples for cold climates
Another ap cultivar noted for orange fall color is 'Hogyoku'. You may want to do some searches on it as far as your zone is concerned. They do fine in zone 7a. AL |

Fantasy Basketball: Buy Low, Sell High (1.17)
BUY LOW TYSON CHANDLER, New York Knicks Pretty much nothing has gone right for Tyson Chandler this season, but the Knicks as a team have turned their season around in the last couple weeks, and they won't be able to keep it up without their man in the middle. With Chandler averaging just 7.9 points and 7.5 rebounds on the season, you probably won't have to give up too much for him. Read More »

The discovery of an ancient pyramid buried under the Antarctic ice sends a team of scientists and adventurers to the frozen continent. There, they make an even more terrifying discovery: two alien races at war. No matter who wins, we lose. An incredible and horrific adventure begins when billionaire industrialist Charles Bishop Weyland gathers an international team of archaeologists, scientists and security experts, led by environmentalist and adventurer Alexa "Lex" Woods, to investigate a mysterious "heat bloom" emanating from deep under Antarctica. What they witness 2000 feet below the frozen surface at first excites, and then terrifies them. They discover a pyramid bearing a mixture of Aztec, Egyptian and Cambodian cultures. Inside the pyramid they find a matrix of chambers so technologically advanced that it becomes obvious that an extraterrestrial influence has been at work there for thousands of years.

Made possible by Draftstreet.
The National Hockey League season is still in its infancy, but if you took the exclusive opportunity that Draftstreet offered last week, you're already a seasoned pro at daily fantasy hockey competitions.
Sadly, all the experience in the world wouldn't have allowed us to crack the top ten in last week's competition, at least not with Mikkel Boedker on our roster. We ended up finishing 69th out of 1,341 competitors.
Not bad, but our 42.7 points paled in comparison to the winner's score of 57.5. We overpaid for Sidney Crosby, who didn't dominate like he's capable. Games like these are all about finding bargains, and our best value was found in Lee Stempniak who had eight shots on net and Marc Staal who had a power play goal. It was a valiant effort, but not quite enough.
Hopefully, you fared better, but if not, don't fret. Draftstreet is once again extending an exclusive offer to theScore readers that will allow you entry into a $500 contest by selecting a fantasy team for Saturday's NHL action. Your entry in the contest – if you use this link – is absolutely free.
Just as before, there are guaranteed cash prizes for the top 50 entrants, including $100 for first place. All for free.
Selecting a team is incredibly simple. You're given a $100,000 salary cap, and each player is assigned a price by DraftStreet. You select a roster of players to cover these positions: 1 Goalie, 2 Right Wing, 2 Left Wing, 2 Center, 2 Defensemen and 1 Flex. Once you've selected a roster for the coming week's action, you receive points based on how the players on your team perform. The teams with the most points get the prize money. It's just like a regular fantasy league, only you're not stuck with bad decisions from a single draft.
Here's how our team is shaping up this week:
We went with a roster full of guys with typically high shot totals, while buying low on defense and hoping for the best with Henrik Lundqvist in net. If you think you can do better than this, make sure your roster is submitted by Saturday October 12th, 2013, at 11 AM ET. You have until then to create a winning team.
Every week over $20,000 is won playing fantasy Hockey on DraftStreet. To get in on the money, all you have to do is follow these three steps:
1. Sign up at Draftstreet;
2. Pick your favorite NHL players; and
3. Finish in the top 50 entrants.
Best of luck from theScore and Draftstreet.

Term limits should be repealed. They have not improved the caliber of representation. Voters ought to be able to choose the best candidate, regardless of time served.
But repeal is unrealistic, so reform is the next best thing. Californians should vote yes on Proposition 28 in the June 5 election.
This amendment to the constitution would shorten the total time in office a lawmaker can serve, from 14 years to 12, and would close a loophole that now allows some to serve up to 17 years. But it would permit the entire time to be served in one house, either the Assembly or Senate. That way, legislators can gain expertise, build relationships and work in the long-term interest of the state -- things that have been lacking since 1990.
Under the existing law, Proposition 140, lawmakers can serve no more than two four-year terms in the Senate and three two-year terms in the Assembly -- among the strictest limits in the nation. Particularly in the lower house, these terms are too short for elected officials to become effective advocates for their constituents, given that it's the first statewide office for many.
California is too big and complex to be governed by amateur legislators. Writing effective laws and seeing through shams requires deep understanding of the state's problems and time to build trust in partners who share policy goals. New Assembly members have neither, so most often they rely on lobbyists to tell them what to care about. Then they sit back as those lobbyists direct campaign donations their way -- all without having done a thing to improve California's future.
Two years ago, MediaNews Group reporter Karen de Sá did an exhaustive study of sponsored legislation, "How Our Laws Are Really Made," laying out how this works. She found that nearly half the bills introduced by first-term Assembly members in 2007-8 were sponsored by outside interests; lawmakers with more experience were affiliated with significantly fewer sponsored bills. The report also found nearly $1.2 million in campaign contributions from lobbyists to legislators who carried their bills. This is legalized bribery.
Opponents -- including the California chairman of the Koch brothers' group, Americans for Prosperity -- claim Proposition 28 is misleading because it lengthens the amount of time lawmakers can serve in a particular house. There's nothing misleading about it; it will improve the governance of California.
Proposition 28 is supported by business and good government groups, including the state Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters. It is a well-reasoned reform to a law so flawed that even some of its original backers want it changed. On June 5, vote yes on Proposition 28.

Eco-conscious sushi lovers have for some time had to reconcile their habit with its likely consequences. Popular species of fish are so in-demand that they're threatened with extinction; just today, a Reuters report discussed decisions by European supermarket chains to voluntarily stop selling bluefin tuna from the Mediterranean in an effort to let stocks recover.
One of America's most sushi-loving cities was rocked last week by a multi-day assault from its hometown paper. The New York Times reported on an investigation it made into the safety of local sushi that found hazards on the menu at even the most elite restaurants. At issue is mercury, which is stored in animal tissue and builds to greater levels in larger, older fish — fish like bluefin tuna, one of the varieties most prized by connoisseurs. The restaurant roundup was accompanied by a science piece informing readers that, contrary to what they might think, it isn't only pregnant women and young children who should be wary of mercury: the story cited medical studies linking high mercury levels with heart attacks and cognitive impairments in the general population.
Those stories were followed by an editorial, which pointed out that the mercury in fish enters the food chain largely via runoff pollution of coal-burning power plants, making our lifestyles to blame for the danger in our diet. Today, the subject nearly monopolized the Letters to the Editor, with an analyst from Consumers Union calling for action from the FDA ("we have a study under way," an FDA toxicologist had told the Times) and Mary Wolff, of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, pointing out that pricey sushi dinners aren't the only hazard to watch: "contamination is far more general," she noted, with cooked fish and varieties other than tuna also presenting cause for concern, despite their other health benefits.
Want to estimate a safe level of fish to eat? The Environmental Working Group has compiled a list that warns women away from the most tainted fish and itemizes those that are safe to eat once a week or more often. Now we know men and children should heed this advice as well.

Not Exactly, Tesla
by Gualberto Ranieri
On May 22, 2013, Tesla, a California-based EV manufacturer, said it has repaid a DoE loan adding: "Tesla will be the only American car company to have fully repaid the government." (http://www.teslamotors.com/about/press/releases/tesla-repays-department-energy-loan-nine-years-early).
The information is unmistakably incorrect. It's pretty well-known that almost exactly two years ago – May 24, 2011 – Chrysler Group LLC repaid (in full and with interest) U.S. and Canadian government loans more than six years ahead of schedule.
Question: short memory or short-circuit?

johnniesrotten May 22, 2013, 8:54 PM
who would pay a fortune for an electric car, it would be like driving a golf cart. good job Chrysler, we have a 03 Chrys Town and Country, 13 Jeep Patriot and 13 Dodge Challenger, MOPAR or NO car
ruggles May 22, 2013, 10:17 PM
I'd like to know if Crysler repaid all government loans, including the money advanced by the W Bush administration, AND if the taxpayers recovered their investment in Chrysler stock. Also, the Tesla Model S is a LONG way from a glorified golf cart. It is beautiful, powerfull, and extremely well finished, a knockout on the road. Kudos to Chrysler, however. They have done a FINE job. Not perfect, but FINE.
Richard Ehrenberg May 23, 2013, 5:47 AM
(The former) Chrysler Corporation paid back every dime. Seven years early. With loads of interest going directly into the US treasury. 1983.
Citizen-T May 23, 2013, 5:47 AM
Dear Chrysler, Sorry, Tesla was unmistakably referring to the ATVS loan. Clearly other automakers have previously received government loans and paid them off. The comments were in the context of this specific loan program. Also, you don't really count as an "American" company anymore.
larry w May 23, 2013, 5:47 AM
Why would Tesla pay off early? This could be the reason. Musk was restricted from selling his stock interest until the loan was paid off. Now with the stock pushing $90 a share and if he had say 20 million shares he could personally borrow the $400 million to pay off the loan and then sell 10 million shares of stock repay the money he borrowed for the tesla loan payoff and still pocket $500 million. could be the reason the stock price fell today. The company didn't have the cash to payoff the loan and without gov't help through mandates, tax credits and ZEV credits, they actually lost about $21K a car or approx $93 mil. And their market for customers is extremely limited and what do you do with a six year old car with only two years of battery warranty left.
sebring96hbg May 23, 2013, 7:20 AM
It was not clear that Tesla was referring only to the DOE loans. In fact, some car blog sites were confused by this and thought Chrysler was being slighted. Chrysler Group LLC has legally satisfied the repayment of all government loans since it was created and formed in 2009 after the end of the Bush Administration. Chrysler Group LLC is an American company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.
email@example.com May 23, 2013, 8:42 AM
Tesla said "American" company. Chrysler isn't an American-owned company.

It is nothing more than arrogance. Our friend at Tesla probably thinks he created the electric car like Al Gore believes that is is the mastermind behind the internet.

@Richard Ehrenberg Bon giorno. I think he was referring to $7 billion government money that was and will never be payed back. http://money.cnn.com/2009/05/05/news/companies/chrysler_loans/

Chrysler did repay everything that was asked of it, but they're really opening a can of worms here. Of the $12.5 billion loan, Chrysler repaid $11.2 billion. That left $1.3 billion that will probably never be repaid to the government. So the loan to Tesla: $12 million profit. The loan to Chrysler: $1.3 billion loss.

Dear Larry W what do you do with 6 year old chevy without any warranty? Battery from Tesla after 6 years at worst case are at 80% of capacity and are super valuable. That is almost 3 times more in capacity than Volt and they have value even for grid copmanies for storage. Go ask prius owners how many problems with batteries they had in 10 years. What problem do you have with Tesla borrowing the money on the market. Are you saying that Chevrolet does not have any loans?

Maybe someone should remind Tesl;a that Lee Iaccoca paid back federal oans in full in 1983 when Mr Musk was just 12 years old. That should settle it once and for all

These kinds of snarky posts will be the dark spot of Chrysler when they are forced to start making electric cars because people won't think it's cool to pollute the environment anymore. Also, Tesla is correct because they are a real American company. Chrysler is just a subsidiary of the Italian company Fiat.

Hey, I'm Avril Lavigne. Welcome to the Cosmo Girl shoot. Gonna do a little interview now. Well some of my favorite artists are my favorite female artists are Alanis Morissette, Courtney Love, Brody from the Distillers and I like Peaches. And, then, and some of my favorite like guy bands, I like Blink 182, the Clash, True Herons. I got into those bands when I was like in High School. And, I'd like to listen to [unknown] my Discman. I'd like to walk around with my baby sweatshirt on. Like walking through the hall. I was thinking I was the shit. Well, I like to play a Blink 182. It was like I was get and just makes me think of the summer. I definitely get stressed out a lot with a lot of decisions I have to make, gets overwhelming but I just take a deep breath and I like to have a day off every once in awhile. I really like going to the spa. I like scrubs and massages and I love getting my nails done. I mean, turning 21 is fun. It's probably, I mean I was looking forward, you know you look forward to turning you know 20 and 21 and 19 'cause like 19 you can drink from Canada. 21 you is legal in America. But, yeah, I think it is exciting. I like a really big party. I'm married now but I mean, I'm pretty mature for my age and I mean because of what I do I have to be responsible and make a lot of big decisions. But, I mean being married I guess probably made me a little more mature. But, doesn't really change me that much. I'm so like the same. Has it changed my life? Well, I'm really happy and like I'm in love. And, I've got good stuff so, yeah. I'm sure I've made lots of mistakes when I was a teenager but, I don't have anything that I really regret like, I did not really do anything that bad. So, when he's not confident, he wants to be confident. I don't know Gordon, like get a haircut and get some clothes that you'd really like and just hang out with people that are nice to you and who are real. And, when you have a good people around you, you know, you get the feeling you have 2 really good friends or 1 best friend like that you can be yourself around. Those are people you wanna surround yourself with. Because then you can be confident. If you're around people that make you feel uncomfortable and you can't be yourself around them and you're insecure then you shouldn't hang out with them. My new album is very fun, the entire way through. It's light. It's, you know, it's rock and it's poppy and catchy and high energy. And, it's just like, it's just a really good time. My other stuff was like, you know, I had some fun songs but a lot of mid-tempos, slower stuff, darker lyrically. But, this one is just like just fresh.
