I am writing to tell you about something very close to me. I am asking that you help support the Mike Seneca Golf Classic. Mike Seneca was my dad. He was such a good dad to me and my little sister, Claire.
When I was five years old and my sister was seven weeks old, my dad was diagnosed with Stage IV Signet Ring Adenocarcinoma. He fought a strong battle for seven months. Now that I'm 11 years old, I understand the inspiring impact my dad had on many people's lives. That's why I have become the Chairman of this year's Mike Seneca Golf Classic. I want to honor my dad's memory and carry on his acts of selflessness and compassion.
All proceeds from this event go directly to the Hult Center for Healthy Living's cancer programs. The Hult Center for Healthy Living is a local non-profit that offers free mind, body and spirit services to those touched by cancer. Please help me reach other kids whose lives have been drastically affected by cancer through your support of the 4th Annual Mike Seneca Golf Classic in my dad's honor.
In the past three years, the Seneca Classic has raised over $50,000! Please help me make this the best outing yet. The Hult Center has a variety of Sponsorship Opportunities available. Please look over the information and contact the Hult Center for Healthy Living at 309.692.6650 if you have any questions.

Islamic Ctr of Long Island expansion
LONG ISLAND,NY–This is one case of continuing expansion. The Islamic Center of Long Island was formed in 1982. Ever since then it has evolved from a small brick home to its current home of 10, 000 square foot of facilities including a mosque, library, classroom, and administrative office. Last month it announced that it is again expanding to meet the needs of its growing congregants.
According to West Bury Times the ICLI is seeking to build a a three story, 19,000 square addition to the existing structure. It has purchases four adjoining homes and construct a parking area. It will add 87 parking spots as compared with the current 35. But it is still short of 221 spots as required by the by-laws. Therefore the center has filed an application with the zoning board to receive a parking variance.
A hearing on the application is expected to be held on Nov.16.
Investigation into imam's death ends
YERMO,CA– The San Bernardino County Sherriff's Department has stated that its investigation into the mysterious death of a local Muslim in a house fire hasn't produced any results and that the case is being now shelved. They have been unable to find any clues or suspects.
Ali Mohammed died on June 27 while visiting a property that his family had moved out of when suddenly the building was enveloped in flames.
Investigators had earlier claimed that the fire was human-caused and not a result of faulty equipment.
The same property was repeatedly the target of vandalism and hate attacks.
Police investigate break-in at mosque
DURHAM, NC–Durham police are investigating a break-in at the Masjid Ibad Ar-Rahman mosque, 3034 Fayetteville St.
Mosque leaders found windows and doors broken early on the morning of Nov. 2. They said two flat-screen monitors, a printer and a computer were stolen.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Durham police Investigator K. D. Emanuel at 919-560-4415, ext. 29306, or Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200.
Lackawanna halal facility opposed
LACKAWANNA, NEW YORK–Angry protestors vent their voices at the Lackawanna City Council last Tuesday night to protest a plan for a halal slaughterhouse in the area. The protestors and those in the council supporting them appeared to be ill informed on the halal method.
"I did research the Halal method and I'm not happy with what I read," said First Ward Councilmember Andrea Haxton, according to WNED.
It was not readily apparent what kind of research she did.
City Council members told the citizens they had nothing to do with approval of the meat facility and can't stop it even if they are opposed.
"It has not and will not come in front of city council because we have, unfortunately, no role in this," said Councilmember Geoffrey Szymanski.
The slaughterhouse is expected to open within a few months.

Faith communities urged to shine the light on post-911 discrimination
CHICAGO, IL—Two leading faith-based publishers – one Muslim, one Christian – urged that faith communities "shine the light" on a disturbing pattern of discrimination across America in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
"We live in a xenophobic country," said the Rev. John Buchanan, editor and publisher of The Christian Century magazine. "We thought we had [even] taken care of anti-Semitism and that has been popping up here and there. One of the things we must do is name it [xenophobia] and keep shining a light on it."
Buchanan, who is also pastor of Fourth Presbyterian Church here, was responding to a presentation from Imam Malik Mujahid, president of the largest Islamic publishing house in the U.S., who had offered some alarming statistics about what he called "the unreported domestic war on terror."
Since September 11, 2001, Mujahid said, 500,000 Muslims have been interviewed by the FBI. Mujahid estimated 24% of Muslim American households have had a visit from the FBI. He estimated 28,000 have been detained or deported. Mujahid said special prisons for Muslim prisoners have been established since 9/11 and "Halliburton has a government contract to build more."
Mujahid, who is imam to three mosques and chairman of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, said he constantly hears critics claim that Muslim leaders do not condemn terrorism. Muslim leaders have been doing that all along, he said, pointing to a unanimous resolution of the U.S. Senate praising Muslim leaders for speaking out. That resolution got virtually no media attention, he noted.
Both religious leaders shared their thoughts on "The Legacy of 9/11 on Media, Faith and Society." The interfaith dialogue, held on the sixth anniversary of the 2001 terrorism events, was hosted by the Communication Commission of the National Council of Churches USA (NCC) meeting near the national headquarters of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, one of the NCC's 35 member communions.
Mujahid had many examples of what he says Muslims call "Islamophobia" but he particularly pointed to the swearing in of Keith Ellison, the first Muslim American elected to the U.S. Congress. Last December Rep. Virgil Goode (R.-Va.) had made anti-Muslim remarks regarding Ellison's use of the Koran in the private ceremony in taking his oath of office.
"There was no statement from the Republican Party" objecting to Rep. Goode's remarks, he said. "There was no statement from President Bush."
Buchanan acknowledged the National Council of Church's role in speaking up on behalf of those who are being scapegoated in our country but said, "the evangelicals have just 'out-mediaed' us in the past few years." He urged moderate mainline churches to speak out more loudly on behalf of "our Muslim brothers and sisters" and protest Islamaphobia when it is seen.
"We must say no to the late D. James Kennedy's notion that this is a Christian nation and we must do all we can to elect Christians to office to keep it that way," Buchanan said. "We must say no to Franklin Graham's statements…[that disparage] Muslims."
Buchanan said, we must concentrate on the "inclusive and tolerant tradition" that is in all of our sacred texts. He read from Isaiah 19 as an example of "the inclusive view of God?that's worth knowing about and talking about."
"What are you going to do with information like that?" asked the Rev. Michael Livingston, NCC president, who was moderator of the discussion. "The level of ignorance and lack of awareness in the religious community, this war, this is part of our legacy," Livingston told the church communicators. He challenged his audience to "move this legacy in a different direction."
The National Council of Churches USA is the ecumenical voice of 35 of America's Protestant, Anglican, Orthodox, historic African American and traditional peace churches. Those member communions represent 45 million faithful Christians in 100,000 congregations in all 50 states.
Chicago cabbies get tickets while praying
CHICAGO, IL–Muslim taxi drivers in Chicago have alleged that as many as 500 of them have been ticketed for parking vehicles in access lanes near O'Hare Airport while pray at a nearby prayer trailer. The trailer has been set up by the city for making it convenient for observant drivers to pray. Cab drivers claim that despite providing them with the location, the city punishes them with hefty fines for using it.
The tickets ranging from $50 to $80 can cut a driver's daily profits into half.
"The financial impact, at least from a revenue standpoint, is huge," says Wolfgang J. Weiss, one of the managing directors of the Chicago Professional Taxicab Drivers Association. "We just want them to back off."
Aviation Department spokesman Greg Cunningham said authorities do not want to interrupt Muslims and their prayer habits, according to Chicago Suntimes. But he contends that cabbies must follow the rules at a facility that needs to be clear of traffic in order for operations to run smoothly and safely.
"It's a temporary parking and holding area," Cunningham said. "If a vehicle blocks off other vehicles from leaving the facility, it becomes a problem."
Malaysian Fulbright scholar to visit Montgomery County
Rosnani Hashim, professor of education at the International Islamic University in Malaysia, will be at Montgomery County Community College from Oct. 18 until Nov. 11.
During her stay, Hashim will engage in scholarly activities both at the college and in the community.
In Malaysia, Hashim has taught educational philosophy, history and sociology from the Islamic perspective since 1987 at the International Islamic University.
She has written extensively on Islamic education and its roles and position in a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-faith society like Malaysia, and she has lectured abroad on the issues of Muslim worldview, education, curriculum and women.
Hashim holds a doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree in education from the University of Florida, a master of science degree in curriculum and instruction from the University of Wisconsin and a bachelor's in mathematics from Northern Illinois University.
She has served as the vice president of Women's Affairs for the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia, and she has published six books and has written more than 30 articles, book chapters and papers.
"It's tremendously prestigious that our students will have the opportunity to interact with another Fulbright scholar," said Aaron Shatzman, dean of social science and writer of the Fulbright scholar application.
"We are among a very elite group of institutions to be awarded a visiting specialist under this program. Dr. Hashim will afford both the college and community at large a valuable perspective into higher education from a Muslim point of view."
"The presence of a Fulbright scholar on our campuses is yet another demonstration of the high quality and excellence of the education and cultural outreach that we provide to our students and the community," said Karen A. Stout, president of Montgomery County Community College. "We are deeply honored to welcome a scholar of Dr. Hashim's stature to our institution."
The Fulbright Visiting Specialist program "Direct Access to the Muslim World" is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State and administered by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) in Washington, D.C.
Interfaith support for Jewish temple
FAYETTEVILLE, AK–When a Jewish congregation was facing opposition from the community over its plans to construct a synagogue in the Butterfly House neighborhood, help came from an unexpected quarter. Fadil Bayyari, a practicing Muslim, approached the congregation and offered to provide contracting services at cost.
Bayyari was aware of similar opposition faced by Muslims across the nation and wanted to help.
" Having that partnership with a practicing Muslim and Palestinian Arab, we really feel that spirit will cross religious boundaries and attract people from all walks of life, " said Ralph Nesson, a member of the fundraising committee.
Mosque proposed in Manchester
MANCHESTER, CT–The Connecticut town may get its first mosque soon, if the plans of a group of local Muslims are approved.
The Association of Muslim Community is requesting a special exception to allow a place of worship in a residential zone. The group hopes to renovate a small, single-family house at 232 Woodland St. and convert it into a mosque, Association of Muslim Community Treasurer Tarek Ambia said.
Ambia said the group consists of about 25 to 30 Muslims, most of them Manchester residents, who now travel to East Hartford, Hartford, and Windsor to worship and who would like to establish a mosque closer to their homes.
"They feel like they should have something here locally," Ambia said.
Town regulations allow places of worship in residential zones as long as they meet several requirements in areas such as parking and screening between the place of worship and nearby homes.
Plan to build first Mosque in Hawaii questioned
A Muslim group in Hawaii is soliciting donations to build what would be the Island's first mosque. The "Masjid Al-Baqi Project" plans to acquire a house in the Kona Highlands subdivision and convert it into a mosque.
But the plan has already attracted media scrutiny after the seller of the house and her listing agent say that the house is in escrow but not for Syed Kamal Majid, the only person named in the documents connected with the Mosque project.
The listing agent says the buyers are "a Hawaiian family" and have noting to do with any mosque plan.
MAS Freedom Launches 'Faith over Fear and Justice for All' Campaign in Texas
KATY, TX—The Muslim American Society has launched a campaign to fight attempts to slander and intimidate the Muslim community of Katy, Texas. The Muslim community is facing stiff opposition for its plans to build an Islamic center.
Opponents of the center, who own property adjacent to the site of the proposed Islamic Center of Katy, have initiated an Anti-Muslim campaign, which includes the use of a misleading internet website address that continues to post extremely derogatory and inflammatory propaganda directed against the Muslim community and Prophet Muhammad (s).
The purpose of the Faith Over Fear and Justice for All Initiative, according to MAS Freedom Executive Director Mahdi Bray, is to "encourage and build a positive interfaith atmosphere that affirms the right of all people of faith to live in freedom from intimidation and hatred, and that builds bridges of real understanding and mutual respect for the good of the entire community."

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Four cities in the lower Hudson Valley are getting state grants to develop public access to the Hudson River from poor urban neighborhoods for fishing, boating, swimming, hiking and wildlife education.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation's Hudson Estuary Program has awarded grants totaling $117,611 to the cities of Kingston, Albany, Yonkers and New York City.
Albany will receive $30,000 to increase educational and recreational opportunities along the Patroon Creek, a tributary of the Hudson River estuary in the urban Tivoli Lake Preserve.
Kingston will receive $30,000 to install a floating fishing pier and dock on the Rondout Creek near subsidized housing complexes, one of the poorest parts of the city.

We recently listed our farm for sale with a realtor. Prior to doing this, we listed it on some equine websites ourselves. Now I have someone seriously interested who contacted me from our own listing. I can't find anything in the realtor contract addressing this, so do we still have to pay her commission? She has not shown it yet at all. I was hoping maybe to negotiate a smaller percentage if she helped with the closing, but since we found our own buyer I don't feel we owe her the entire 5%. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Read your contract carefully. Your agent is likely entitled to a full commission for any sale while the contract is in effect. |
Count yourself lucky to get a quick sale & not have to handle the paperwork - if it even comes to that - it's not like they've made an offer. I think you can only exclude people you've actually shown it to prior to the contract & you probably would have to give a list of names up front for any kind of discount. |
Unless you spelled this out in ADVANCE with your realtor, i think you are SOL |
I'm not even going to worry about it until after they come to look, which isn't for 3 weeks as they are out of State. Our realtor did say she would negotiate the commission if that is what it takes to make a sale happen, so we may be able to get her down a percent or so. As guvnah said, we would be lucky to get a quick sale regardless. |
It depends on the type of contract you have. Most likely its an Exclusive Right to sell and you would owe commission to the listing office no matter who finds the buyer. (Does your contract say Exclusive Right to sell, in this case you would owe the commission, if it says Exclusive Agency, you are able to sell on your own without paying the commission). If its ERTS, don't bother showing the potential buyer the house. Have a discussion with your agent about how this came about and negotiate the commission for this particular buyer. I'm sure she will negotiate her commission down since the property was just listed and she doesnt have a whole lot of time invested in it yet. Do not show the property to the buyer, let your agent handle it from the beginning. |

Coolest Toys of Christmas 2012
Christmas shopping is upon us and if you are anything like me you are going to stay as far away from the mall as possible. The downside of staying away from the stores is that you can't see the variety of toys that are available.
Have you ever tried to window shop the Internet? It takes forever. There is no way to keep up with all of the new toys that come out every year unless someone has already done the research for you.
You can thank me later.
Scented Scoops
Maybe it is the food writer in me, but nothing gets my attention quicker than really cool play food. Scented Scoops by Begin Again Toys got my attention.
The set includes six scoops of pretend ice cream that is scented, y'all. Two scoops of vanilla, two of chocolate, and two of strawberry smell heavenly and allow your child to really get into creating ice cream cones.
The cones and tray are made of beech wood while the ice cream scoops are made of 100% compostable corn starch bio-resin. It's best for age four and up.
K'NEX Atomic Coaster
I always thought that K'NEX were cool. Not only does your child have fun putting them together, once they are assembled, they do things. Take this Atomic Coaster, for example. It is a huge four foot roller coaster with two cars that race each other to the end of nearly forty feet of track. Once at the bottom there is a pulley to lift the cars back to the starting line. Age nine and up.
Rockboard Descender
This all terrain skateboard has thickly grooved treads that allow your skater child to board on any surface from pavement to snow. The treads are heavy duty with serious griping power so this gift will last a long time.
Best of all? He can use it right away even if you happen to live at the North Pole. Don't forget the safety gear. Age eight and up.
Cloud B Telegram Teddy
This is the coolest toy I have seen this year, but it is also the creepiest. Teddy Ruxpin used to freak me out, too. Anyway this teddy bear receives voice messages and melody files from your smart phone.
When your child sees the LED light blinking, she knows that there is a message waiting. By pressing the button in his paw, she can listen to your message and then send a message back to you – you'll receive it on your phone. The messages are archived for two weeks in cloud storage. Age three and up.
Perplexus Epic
This toy is basically quite simple and yet obviously created by an evil genius. You have to maneuver the marble around the sphere in order to solve the puzzle, and because it is all contained into the sphere, you can take it in the car or anywhere.
It helps develop motor and dexterity skills as well as eye hand coordination. Best of all it is challenging and fun. Age six and up

Grand Theft Auto Four
I've been a little out of it this week, since pretty much all I've been doing is going to work and playing GTA4, with short naps in between. That by itself should tell you that GTA4 is pretty good, but to add some weight to that, but I did not own an Xbox 360 until last week. I bought a $350 console just for this game, and to top it off, I actually had to walk from DUMBO to Atlantic Center - a bit over a mile - before I found a store that was open, and had both the game and the console in stock (RadioShack, by the way, had 360s but no GTA for it, and no PS3s but the GTA for it).
I have no problem whatsoever with this, either. GTA4 is just that good.
As in previous installments, the game takes place in fake New York, only this time around, it's actually recognizable as New York. No, the translation isn't perfect - Bensonhurst, Gravesend, and Bay Ridge are reduced to a narrow slum above Coney Island, Times Square is about a block from Central Park, and, rather delightfully, Staten Island is missing entirely - but neighborhoods feel like their real-life counterparts, and the attention to detail is staggering.
The cop cars look like NYPD cars. The farecard machines in the subway look like the real ones, down to the graphics on the screen. Sometimes I find my way around by thinking of how I'd get there in real life, and I wonder how much of this people who don't live in New York really grasp. It's insane.
Beyond the setting, there's a lot to like here. They took out that RPG bullshit that was in San Andreas, where you had to eat food and go to the gym and grind stats before you could run around with a shotgun blasting holes in things. The driving has been made a bit more realistic, which is to say that you can still drift all over the road and flip cars over, but pulling the handbrake and jerking the wheel is no longer the best way to turn, and, to my great amusement, crashing head-first into a wall will throw your guy out through the windshield. I've died more doing that than in gunfights.
This is getting long, so the rest is going after the jump. No major spoilers this time.

Comment: Re:how does it handle atypical situations? (Score 2) 465
Here is the interesting thing in my eyes. My guess is that while most of those are actually pretty solvable it is almost certain that there will be situations that trips up the computer whereas a human would have no problems. Even still, the comparison isn't between computers and humans in particular situations, but computers and humans overall.
Imagine if we lived in a world with computer driven cars and someone suggested humans start driving themselves. Imagine the itemized lists people would create that described all the ways that humans slowness, distractibility, and limited data collection capabilities would lead to danger. Humans and computers are good at different things. The issue is which is better on average.
The problem remains though that even if it is safer overall to let the computer drive, are people really going to give up control when, inevitably, there are highly publicized cases of humans getting injured or killed in situations that a human driver could have easily avoid?

Sunday, June 17, 2012 - Page updated at 07:00 p.m.200 mph barrier gets shattered in NASCAR qualifying in Michigan | Auto racing
By The Associated Press
BROOKLYN, Mich. — The last time anyone was this fast in qualifying in NASCAR's top series, Richard Petty was still driving.
The icon is an owner these days, but when Marcos Ambrose won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series pole at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday for Richard Petty Motorsports, Petty was on hand to put the accomplishment in perspective.
Ambrose posted a speed of 203.241 mph, the first time since 1987 the 200 mph mark was surpassed during Sprint Cup qualifying.
"I can't hardly remember that far back," Petty said. "To be able to do it on a flatter racetrack, not Daytona or Talladega, that is unheard of."
Nineteen drivers exceeded 200 mph on the newly paved surface at MIS. Speeds have been soaring since drivers began testing sessions, and NASCAR decided to alter the left-side tires for Sunday's race, but that change didn't affect qualifying.
Greg Biffle (201.816 mph) of Vancouver, Wash., will start in third and Kasey Kahne (201.720) of Enumclaw will start in fourth in the Quicken Loans 400.
The last pole winner to surpass 200 mph in the Cup series was Bill Elliott, a quarter-century ago at Talladega in Alabama.
"It's going to sound great at the bar when you have had about six too many," Ambrose said of his speed. "It is good bragging rights, I will give it that."
Goodyear changed its tire recommendation Friday night, saying the high speeds caused increased left-side tire temperatures.
Logano triumphs
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Joey Logano, who won the Sprint Cup Series race last Sunday, won the NASCAR Nationwide Series event Saturday at Michigan International Speedway.
Logano, 22, held off James Buescher for his fifth Nationwide victory of the year and 14th of his career. Kurt Busch, back from a 10-day suspension for verbal abuse toward a member of the media, finished third in the Alliance Truck Parts 250.
Danica Patrick finished 18th.
Tayler Malsam of Seattle was 21st and Angela Cope, who grew up in Puyallup, was 28th. She is the niece of 1990 Daytona 500 winner Derrike Cope of Spanaway.
Hunter-Reay prevails
WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Ryan Hunter-Reay found his way back to victory lane at the Milwaukee Mile, holding off Tony Kanaan in the Milwaukee IndyFest IndyCar Series race.
It was the sixth career victory and first this season for Hunter-Reay, who brought home a victory for the man who brought the historic but financially troubled Wisconsin track back to IndyCar — car owner Michael Andretti, who served as the race promoter.
Hunter-Reay, 31, also won at the track in 2004 in the Champ Car World Series, which folded before a planned 2008 season.

I just got finished building a fire pit and flagstone patio in the woods behind my house. I've been posting construction pictures in the "Gardening With Stone" forum, but I thought I'd post the finished project here too.
Here's the before picture:
Follow-Up Postings:
The first thing I had to do was scroll back to find out where you live. I want one!!! This is gorgeous. It's amazing. I love how you incorporated space for the firewood as well. A couple questions - how far is this from your house? I have been thinking about a fire pit and wondered where to place it. This is just so beautiful, I think I'd want it close enough that I'd see it all the time. |
- Posted by jugglerguy z4-5 MI (My Page) on Thu, Jul 7, 11 at 21:22
It's about 100 ft. behind my house in the woods. You can see my neighbor's white house in the last picture. My house is about the same distance away. I can see glimpses of the fire pit from my house, but I don't really want to see more. I like the natural woods. It comes right up to the back of the house. I'll try to remember to take a picture tomorrow when it's light out. |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 0:40
I remember seeing this when it was only partially built. Let me say again that I love what you did with the retaining walls. |
Nice to hear from you again; I just referred someone to your photos a little while ago. Nice work as usual! KarinL |
Seeing how beautiful your woods are *almost* makes me miss the brush I had removed from mine last fall. Except your brush is nice looking evergreens, and mine was all chokecherry, poison ivy, and other plants that made a tick-highway into our yard (and onto us, the cat, the dog ...) You really have an eye for this stuff, the plantings around the pit & patio are so natural looking. I hope that when I add back in some (attractive) understory plants on my yard I can achieve results half as good as this. Do you do this for a living? If not, you could! |
Pam, this beautiful work took a lot of time. Note the growth of the trees and the addition of houses in the background. Making it economically feasible is another thing entirely. That's what makes this special. He did it himself with a minimum amount of money and a lot of thought, work, and time. Like others, I have followed this project from the beginning. Way to go, Jugglerguy! |
- Posted by jugglerguy z4-5 MI (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 9:09
Thanks for the compliments, everyone. Mike, you're correct that I couldn't do this for a price than anyone could afford. I work very slowly! However, the before picture is misleading. It was taken a few years ago, I just forgot to take one immediately before starting. The first two pictures are roughly the same shot. The spruce tree to the right and behind the fire pit is the same tree, but with about 6 years of growth. The houses were all there when I started. I began this project last spring so it took me about a year and a half. By the way, Pam, I'm a math teacher with some time on my hands during the summer. Here's a picture from my back door, Pam. The fire pit is above the birdbath in the picture. It shows up a little more in real life. |
I keep thinking how far you had to transport those rocks once they were in your driveway. Not only the distance, but it looks like it's uphill! I did a lot of rock work in thirty plus years of landscaping. People were always surprised how much more it cost for rock work in the backyard vs a wall and outcroppings next to the driveway in the front yard. Access makes the difference. |
- Posted by jugglerguy z4-5 MI (My Page) on Fri, Jul 8, 11 at 15:58
Moving the rocks to the back yard wasn't too bad, but I guess it did add some work. I gathered the rocks myself from rock piles in farm fields. I spent tons of time searching for rocks with fairly flat tops and bottoms. I then rolled or lifted them into the back of my Jeep and drove them home. After all the searching, loading, and driving, the wagon trips to the back yard didn't seem so bad. It probably would have been cheaper to buy a pickup rather than make so many trips with my Jeep! |
I just completed my version of a fire pit in my backyard. I cleared out a very weedy flower bed. Check it out! Thanks! http://carnoustielane.blogspot.com/2011/07/my-diy-fire-pit-with-river-rocks.html |

GREAT job. It's beautiful! Now I'm itching to get to work in our backyard...but no rock-hauling for me for a bit. (DeQuervain's tendonitis...I'm in a brace.) Still...your post gives me inspiration. Is that wall drystacked--or mortared? I need some retaining walls in the backyard... |
Beautiful! We're just starting on a landscape project and were just talking about sitting walls and benches yesterday. Love your benches! Smiles... ribidibi |
- Posted by jugglerguy z4-5 MI (My Page) on Sun, Jul 31, 11 at 8:16
Mjsee, the wall is dry stacked, but the fire pit is mortared. I'll put a link at the bottom of this message to the stone forum discussion with lots of construction pictures. My wife ordered the benches from an Internet site fo $70 each. They're not super high quality, but they're ok. I can ask her for the address of the site if you're interested. |

Anyone know where I can find a retro style (50's or 60's)through-wall exhaust fan that I would install in the wall above my stove/range? You know,... the kind with the pull-chain? Would like to find this in chrome or satin chrome if possible. I want to install this in my 50's cottage kitchen instead of a vent hood. I know that Broan makes one, but the cover is white plastic. (link: http://www.drillspot.com/products/51657/Broan_506_Kitchen_Wall_Fan). A company called 'Laurelhurst' also makes custom-designed retro fans - gorgeous, but wickedly expensive (link:http://www.laurelhurstfancompany.com/fanshop.html). I appreciate any and all help with this! Thanks! |

Unfortunately the Laurelhurst fans are not designed to exhaust grease. They are great looking though. You MAY be able to use a Nutone or wall fan that is acceptable for cooking areas and use a Laurelhurst Grille, which is available separately. However, even the grilles are pricey. |

As they accumulate grease without a cleanout provision, they can also be considered fire hazards and may be against code. Contact your building department and fire department before planning on using one. |

Budgie (musician)
Budgie | |
Budgie in Oakland, California - June 1986
Background information | |
Birth name | Peter Edward Clarke |
Also known as | Blister, Budgie |
Born | 21 August 1957 |
Origin | St Helens, Lancashire, England |
Occupation(s) | Musician, songwriter |
Instruments | Percussion, drums, guitars, keyboards |
Labels | Geffen, Polydor, Sioux |
Associated acts | Big in Japan, The Spitfire Boys, The Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Creatures |
Website | Budgie on Myspace |
Peter Edward Clarke, (born 21 August 1957, in St Helens, Lancashire), better known as Budgie, is an English drummer. His first recording was with The Slits in 1979. He then became the drummer of the influential band Siouxsie and the Banshees (1979–1996) and its side-project The Creatures (1981–2004). Budgie has also collaborated with other musicians including John Cale and Leonard Eto (formerly of the Kodo Drummers).
In 2013, Spin rated him at number 28 in their list of "The 100 Greatest Drummers of Alternative Music".[1] Spin wrote: "Post-punk introduced a lot of amazing drummers, but none more influential than Budgie. With the Banshees, Budgie didn't just play rhythms — he played hooks and leads, brilliant parts that set the songs on fire. His tom-tom-intensive approach, [was] enlightened by his awareness of world music".[1] Spin considers that his "most booming moment" is on "Into the Light," from 1981's Juju: "Budgie drums up a marvel of kinetic syncopation and invention".[1]
Budgie has been hailed in 2013 by peer Stewart Copeland of The Police as one of the 16 most interesting drummers. Copeland described Budgie's playing as "very economical and offbeat". "Budgie didn't play your standard hi-hat-kick-snare; there were a lot of tom-toms and a big throb."[2] Ari Up of The Slits praised him as "a very sensitive drummer".[3]
Early life[edit]
Budgie spent his childhood in Liverpool. He later became an art student but when a new scene emerged in 1976, he gave up school to become a musician.
He debuted as a drummer with The Spitfire Boys and Big in Japan before playing with The Slits on the 1979 album Cut. Years later in 2010, The Slits's singer Ari Up commented:
" | Budgie could play anything. [...] Sting loved The Slits album Cut and what he said about it was that the drumming, he was fanatic about the drums. A lot of people at the time were raving about the drums. They knew that he had a lot of technique but he had a sensitivity, you know, and a variation about him. He could go from reggae to punk to funk to jazz, you know, all over the place, but still very steady.[3] | " |
In September 1979, he joined Siouxsie and the Banshees on their Join Hands tour. Initially he was intended to be a temporary replacement for Kenny Morris, who had left the band two days into a tour, but he remained with the group. He first performed on the album Kaleidoscope, and shortly after, became a permanent member of the band until they split up in 1996.[4][5][6] He released nine studio albums with the Banshees.
In 1981, he formed a second group with Siouxsie Sioux named The Creatures: their music was more based around drums, including percussion, marimba and vibraphone. The Wild Things ep and 1983's Feast were their first releases.
On the subsequent Creatures albums, Budgie also played keyboards, guitars, and harmonica. He co-wrote brass arrangements with Peter Thoms on 1983's single "Right Now" and 1989's Boomerang.[7] Budgie married Siouxsie in May 1991.
In August 2002, Budgie first collaborated with Japanese taiko player Leonard Eto (formerly of the Kodo Drummers), recording drums in a Tokyo studio for the fourth Creatures album. Hai! was issued the year after.
After recording four studio albums as The Creatures, Budgie's final performance with Siouxsie, (featuring Eto and the Millenia Ensemble), was filmed in 2004 at the Royal Festival Hall in London for the DVD Dreamshow. This was Budgie's last concert and collaboration with Siouxsie as in 2007, the duo publicly announced their divorce.
Outside the Banshees and the Creatures, the drummer also worked with Indigo Girls in 1992 on Rites of Passage, and briefly toured with them in the USA at the end of that year.
Budgie later played drums for former The Velvet Underground member John Cale during his summer 1998 US tour on a double bill with The Creatures. Budgie played two sets each night, one with Cale and one with The Creatures.
In 2009, Budgie toured Europe with Juno Reactor. Later that year, he also recorded drums for Jessie Evans's Is It Fire? album.
In 2010, Budgie teamed up with two other drummers, Leonard Eto and Mabi, plus multi-instrumentalist Knox Chandler and guitarist Sugizo, for a program called "The Butterfly Effect: East-West Percussive Parade." It was described as a "drumming extravaganza, featuring Western kit, Japanese taiko and African drums, that will launch the musicians into a new sonic galaxy!".[8] The programme's world première took place in Hong Kong in November 2010 as part of the New Vision Arts Festival. "The Butterfly Effect" featured improvised solos and ensemble works as well as new pieces and arrangements specially created for the festival, inspired by the pace, rhythm and character of Hong Kong.[9]
In 2012, Budgie served as the drummer for Efterklang on their worldwide tour.[10] They were accompanied by an orchestra.

A few years back lumene had one of the best handcreams ever but they stoped making it.
This isn't at all in the same leage. Quite boring, I only got it because it was on sale for 2,95.
24h deep hydration, nope, maybe 2h, but then you got dry hands again. It goes in fast, I have nothing against the smell, and it feel ok, but not enought hydration.
I have it in my bag and I'm going to use it, it is better than nothing but that the only good thing I can say about it.
Buy it again? Nope!
I could say almost the exact same things about this hand cream as I've said about Lumene's Arctic Aqua Body Lotion This is a very standard and affordable hand cream. Its consistency is quite runny. I usually prefer more creamier versions. I dont feel that it provides deep hydration that lasts for 24h, but it might be a good daily hand lotion for some What I really really dislike in this hand cream is its strong and stingy fragrance!

With the Winter Meetings set to begin Monday in Nashville, there will be no shortage of rumours from around the world of Major League Baseball. With free agents B.J. Upton (Braves), Torii Hunter (Tigers), Melky Cabrera (Blue Jays), Hiroki Kuroda (Yankees), and Russell Martin (Pirates) off the board, Josh Hamilton and Zack Greinke are set to take centre stage at the Opryland Resort and Convention Centre, in hopes of landing contracts well in excess of $100 million.
With the New York Mets set to officially announce the contract extension to third baseman David Wright this week, Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey will surely be a name we hear a lot of. Contract talks with Dickey and the Mets have reportedly not gone well, and after 40-year-old Andy Pettitte signed for one year and $12 million with the Yankees this week, Dickey's representatives most likely changed their tune on a dollar figure, which was rumoured to be close to $30 million over two years.
If a deal can't be reached, as many as six or seven teams would be interested in acquiring the 38-year-old knuckleballer. Jon Heyman listed the Royals and Blue Jays as possible matches, with Heyman mentioning J.P. Arencibia, Anthony Gose and Royals top prospect Wil Myers as players the Mets may have interest in.
The Texas Rangers have also been a team that has shown interest in the right-hander, according to MLB.com. Dickey pitched for the Rangers from 2001-2006 and was a first round selection of the team back in 1996.
Wow! RT @jonmorosi: R.A. Dickey was on move last time winter meetings were in Nashville – as Rule 5 pick from Twins to Mariners for $50,000.

Feasting Fort Collins Reviews – Charco Broiler
With the constant cycle of restaurants opening and closing, I often wonder what makes some of the Fort Collins classics stand the test of time. We have some restaurants that have been operating for well over 30 years, and some of them aren't that wonderful when it comes to taste and quality. So, if the food isn't particularly fantastic, then it must be the relationships they maintain with their customers, right? Maybe it has something to do with nostalgia? I believe this is so for Charco Broiler.

SPOTTED: John Lannan Finishes off Former Team in the Nike Air MVP Pro Metal
Last night, Phillies pitcher John Lannan faced off against his former team, the Washing Nationals, taking the mound for eight innings and allowing no runs from the Nationals. Lannan allowed just four hits and struck out four batters, registering another 12 groundouts along the way. "At this point, I'm looking for consistency. It doesn't matter who I'm facing. I have to put up zeroes. That's what I have to do, keep the ball on the ground. I'm not a strikeout guy," Lannan told the Associated Press. This was Lanna's lengthiest period on the mound in four years.
In the ninth, Jonathan Papelbon relieved Lannan, putting Philadelphia's lead at risk as he quickly allowed two runs. The Phillies were able to pull it together and close out the night, kicking off a big four-game series against the Nationals with a win. Although the decisive moment came in the ninth, there's no doubt that Lannan's pitching helped the Phillies develop their lead.
Lannan, much like another pitcher who's been red-hot, took the mound in the Nike Air Pro MVP Metal. This nine-cleat model is loaded with Air cushioning in the heel and a dynamic fit sleeve for a lockdown feel on the diamond. Try them out today for $65.

Common English Bible (CEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Concerning Moab: The LORD of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, proclaims: How awful for Nebo; it lies in ruins. Kirathaim is captured and shamed; the fortress is disgraced, reduced to rubble. | 1 Concerning Moab: This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined. Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured; the stronghold will be disgraced and shattered. |
2 No one sings Moab's praise any longer! In Heshbon they are hatching a plot against her: "Come, let's bring down the nation!" You too, madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you. | 2 Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon men will plot her downfall: 'Come, let us put an end to that nation.' You too, O Madmen, will be silenced; the sword will pursue you. |
3 Listen to the cries for help from Horonaim: "Destruction and massive devastation!" | 3 Listen to the cries from Horonaim, cries of great havoc and destruction. |
4 Moab is shattered; its young cry for help. | 4 Moab will be broken; her little ones will cry out. |
5 On the way up to Luhith, there is uncontrollable weeping. On the way down to Horonaim, they hear sobs of anguish. | 5 They go up the way to Luhith, weeping bitterly as they go; on the road down to Horonaim anguished cries over the destruction are heard. |
6 Run for your lives! Be like Aroer in the desert. | 6 Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert. |
7 Because you have relied on your own strength and treasures, you also will be captured. Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. | 7 Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials. |
8 The destroyer will sweep through every town; no town will escape. The valleys will be ravaged; the plateaus will be destroyed, because the LORD has declared it so. | 8 The destroyer will come against every town, and not a town will escape. The valley will be ruined and the plateau destroyed, because the LORD has spoken. |
9 Give wings to Moab, and it would fly away because its towns lie in ruins, with no one left in them. | 9 Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her towns will become desolate, with no one to live in them. |
10 Cursed is the one who is halfhearted in doing the LORD's work. Cursed is the one who restrains the sword from bloodshed. | 10 "A curse on him who is lax in doing the LORD's work! A curse on him who keeps his sword from bloodshed! |
11 From early on Moab has been at ease, like wine left to settle on its sediment. It hasn't been poured into jars; nor has Moab been taken into exile. Therefore, its taste is still pleasant, and its aroma is the same. | 11 "Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another-- she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged. |
12 But the time is coming, declares the LORD, when I will send to him someone to spill it—to pour out his wine and to smash his jars. | 12 But days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will send men who pour from jars, and they will pour her out; they will empty her jars and smash her jugs. |
13 And Moab will be put to shame on account of Chemosh, just as the people of Israel were put to shame on account of Bethel, in which they trusted. | 13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel. |
14 How can you claim, "We're soldiers; we're war heroes"? | 14 "How can you say, 'We are warriors, men valiant in battle'? |
15 Moab is doomed; its towns will surrender; its elite forces will go down in defeat, declares the king whose name is the LORD of heavenly forces. | 15 Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded; her finest young men will go down in the slaughter," declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty. |
16 Moab's destruction is near; its downfall approaches rapidly. | 16 "The fall of Moab is at hand; her calamity will come quickly. |
17 Grieve for this nation, you neighbors of Moab, all you who know his name. Proclaim how its mighty scepter and magnificent staff are shattered! | 17 Mourn for her, all who live around her, all who know her fame; say, 'How broken is the mighty scepter, how broken the glorious staff !' |
18 Come down from your lofty place and sit in the dust, you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon; because Moab's destroyer has arrived to level your fortresses. | 18 "Come down from your glory and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitants of the Daughter of Dibon, for he who destroys Moab will come up against you and ruin your fortified cities. |
19 Stand by the roads and watch, you inhabitants of Aroer. Ask the men who flee and the women who run off, "What's happened?" | 19 Stand by the road and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping, ask them, 'What has happened?' |
20 Moab is shamed and shocked; weep and wail! Tell it by the Arnon River: Moab's been destroyed! | 20 Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered. Wail and cry out! Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed. |
21 Judgment has come to the towns of the plateau— to Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath, | 21 Judgment has come to the plateau-- to Holon, Jahzah and Mephaath, |
22 to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, | 22 to Dibon, Nebo and Beth Diblathaim, |
23 to Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon, | 23 to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul and Beth Meon, |
24 to Kerioth and Bozrah, to all the towns of Moab, far and near. | 24 to Kerioth and Bozrah-- to all the towns of Moab, far and near. |
25 Moab's horn is cut off; its arm is broken, declares the LORD. | 25 Moab's horn is cut off; her arm is broken," declares the LORD. |
26 Get Moab drunk, because it has exalted itself above the LORD. Moab will collapse in its vomit and become the butt of every joke. | 26 "Make her drunk, for she has defied the LORD. Let Moab wallow in her vomit; let her be an object of ridicule. |
27 Wasn't Israel the butt of your jokes? Didn't you shake your head as if they were thieves caught in the act? | 27 Was not Israel the object of your ridicule? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head in scorn whenever you speak of her? |
28 Leave your towns, head for the cliffs, you people of Moab. Hide like a dove that nests in the mouth of a cave. | 28 Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks, you who live in Moab. Be like a dove that makes its nest at the mouth of a cave. |
29 We have heard of Moab's pride: arrogant, puffed up, exalted, high and mighty, boastful! | 29 "We have heard of Moab's pride-- her overweening pride and conceit, her pride and arrogance and the haughtiness of her heart. |
30 I myself know about its arrogance, declares the LORD, the idle talk, the empty deeds. | 30 I know her insolence but it is futile," declares the LORD, "and her boasts accomplish nothing. |
31 But I'll still wail for Moab; I'll cry out for all Moab; I'll sob for the people of Kir-heres. | 31 Therefore I wail over Moab, for all Moab I cry out, I moan for the men of Kir Hareseth. |
32 I'll weep for you, vine of Sibmah, more than I would for Jazer. Though your branches extended to the sea and reached the coast of Jazer, now the destroyer has come to harvest your grapes and summer fruits. | 32 I weep for you, as Jazer weeps, O vines of Sibmah. Your branches spread as far as the sea; they reached as far as the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your ripened fruit and grapes. |
33 Joy and gladness have been taken from the orchards and farms of Moab. I have stopped making wine in the presses. No one shouts with joy while treading the grapes. Though there are shouts, they are not shouts of joy! | 33 Joy and gladness are gone from the orchards and fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy. Although there are shouts, they are not shouts of joy. |
34 Screams are heard from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz; their cries resound from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up. | 34 "The sound of their cry rises from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz, from Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up. |
35 I'll put an end to Moab, declares the LORD, for making offerings on the shrines, and worshipping their gods. | 35 In Moab I will put an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods," declares the LORD. |
36 Therefore, my heart wails for Moab like a mournful flute that plays the dirge; my heart wails for the people of Kir-heres, like a mournful flute. Their abundance is now gone. | 36 "So my heart laments for Moab like a flute; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir Hareseth. The wealth they acquired is gone. |
37 Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off, every hand is slashed, and everyone wears mourning clothes. | 37 Every head is shaved and every beard cut off; every hand is slashed and every waist is covered with sackcloth. |
38 On every housetop of Moab and in all its streets, there's nothing but mourning. I have shattered Moab like a pottery vessel no one wants, declares the LORD. | 38 On all the roofs in Moab and in the public squares there is nothing but mourning, for I have broken Moab like a jar that no one wants," declares the LORD. |
39 How it's shattered! Go wail! How Moab turns away! What shame! Moab has become the butt of every joke, horrific to all its neighbors. | 39 "How shattered she is! How they wail! How Moab turns her back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule, an object of horror to all those around her." |
40 The LORD proclaims: Look! One who soars like an eagle and spreads its wings over Moab. | 40 This is what the LORD says: "Look! An eagle is swooping down, spreading its wings over Moab. |
41 The towns will be captured; the strongholds will be seized. On that day, the heart of every soldier from Moab will be like that of a woman in the throes of labor. | 41 Kerioth will be captured and the strongholds taken. In that day the hearts of Moab's warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor. |
42 Moab will be destroyed once and for all because it has exalted itself above the LORD. | 42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation because she defied the LORD. |
43 Terror, traps, and trackers are upon you, people of Moab, declares the LORD. | 43 Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of Moab," declares the LORD. |
44 Those who flee from terror will fall into a pit; those who escape the pit will be captured by the trap. I will bring upon Moab the year of its punishment, declares the LORD. | 44 "Whoever flees from the terror will fall into a pit, whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare; for I will bring upon Moab the year of her punishment," declares the LORD. |
45 In Heshbon tired refugees seek shelter. But fire is raging in Heshbon, flames from the house of Sihon. It has burned up part of Moab, including the leader of this rebellious nation. | 45 "In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stand helpless, for a fire has gone out from Heshbon, a blaze from the midst of Sihon; it burns the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of the noisy boasters. |
46 How terrible for you, Moab; the people of Chemosh have perished. Your sons have been carried off; your daughters have been taken captive. | 46 Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are destroyed; your sons are taken into exile and your daughters into captivity. |
47 But in the days to come I'll bring back Moab from captivity, declares the LORD. Such is the judgment on Moab. | 47 "Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in days to come," declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab. |

A New Dad Learns the Ropes
There was so much I had to get used to as a new dad, diaper changing and long hours being chief among them. But they weren't the only things, mind you. I also had to learn the entire baby lexicon. Suddenly my world was littered with new words and products I had yet to master and often confused.
Like the glider and the bouncy seat. They look identical to one another—a combination between a tiny basinet and a car seat—but they perform different tasks. With a flip of a switch, a glider actually moves your baby gently to and fro, while a bouncy seat provides subtle vibration.
When Bad Hair Happens to Good Babies
No. Not that picture below. Luke's hair looks perfectly fine there. Maybe a touch long, hence the curls. But that's not what I'd call bad hair.
That's a cropped picture of my wife holding him on his first birthday (which wasn't all that long ago) and I just love it, what with the whole wide-open mouth deal he's got going on. And I love the hair, too. Yes, and again, it's a bit long, but as of then, and as of now, in fact, we've not cut even the tiniest little bit. We're just kind of going with it.
The Letter Encouraging the Other Shoe to Drop
Dear Luke,
Just a quick note to address this almost-walking situation you've got going on. You're so close! I mean, you lean on your little grocery cart and are able to walk all over the house. Same thing with that big plastic car you like so much.
It's funny. Your mama and I can hear you coming from a mile away. Sometimes it's your infectious laugh, no doubt. But most of the time, it's the tell-tale sound emitted by your walker of choice.
But here's the deal, buddy.
If Pop Songs Were Written For Babies
You know one little habit I have that's just a touch annoying? I tend to change the lyrics of songs and sing them to whatever I'm doing. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's annoying. Because, you know, it annoys me and all.
Still, I come by it honestly, if not absentmindedly, as (most) every occurrence is unintentional. And since I have four-year-old triplets and a baby, that means I often catch myself singing made-up lyrics pertaining to them. And in so doing, I've decided that pop stars are missing out on a goldmine of inspiration. They really should start mining the little ones for their material.
If they did — it might sound a little like this:
While You Were On Bed Rest: How I Became a Better Dad
When Caroline was pregnant with the triplets, she was relegated to bed rest for a total of nine weeks. The first one was spent in the hospital and luckily for us, coincided with a time our daughter was away at the beach with her biological dad.
The next four were spent at home and given Caroline's limitations, they were difficult, but not as difficult as they would have been had she remained in the hospital. Which is exactly why I knew I was in real trouble when her doctor ordered her to return to the hospital for what wound up being the final four weeks of her pregnancy.

The Society of Architectural Historians announces the SAH Awards Gala to celebrate the 120th anniversary of its landmark headquarters, Sullivan and Wright's Charnley-Persky House. Tickets are $150 per person - Click here to purchase tickets to the SAH Awards Gala (You will be asked to create a free website account if you do not already have one) To purchase tickets by phone, please call Anne Bird, Director of Membership at 312.573.1365 The house, completed in 1892, is one of the few extant buildings that displays the combined talents of these world-renowned architects. It is considered a turning point in modern residential design and Frank Lloyd Wright famously called it "the first modern house in America." The Gala is slated for the evening of Saturday, November 10, 2012, and will be held at the Racquet Club, a Gold Coast institution with its own rich history. Funds from the gala will support SAH's mission and help SAH position itself as leader in understanding and interpreting the built environment.
At this year's Gala, SAH will launch new awards honoring excellence in design-related professions. As Executive Director Pauline Saliga notes, "The SAH mission of making man-made structures and landscapes relevant to contemporary cultural life is increasingly important as a growing percentage of the global population is living in cities. Our Annual Awards for Excellence celebrate pivotal contributions to designing the future made in the fields of architecture, landscape design, urban planning, preservation and public education."
The awards roster includes:
The SAH Award for Excellence in Design, Planning and Sustainability Honoring Phillip Enquist of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill for scripting a Vision for the Great Lakes & St. Lawrence River Region that addresses the phenomenal increase in human population, the impacts of agriculture and urbanization, and the threats of climate change on this, the world's largest fresh water basin. The Charnley-Persky House was restored by SOM in the 1980s to serve as the location for SOM's Chicago Institute for Architecture & Urbanism. Today, due in no small part to SOM, Charnley-Persky House is a bellwether for preservation of the unique history of Chicago's Gold Coast. The SAH Award for Excellence in Architectural Media Honoring Gwendolyn Wright, Professor of Architecture & Planning at Columbia University and popular host of the PBS "History Detectives" series, and WTTW host Geoffrey Baer who currently is filming a nationally-syndicated program, "Ten Buildings that Changed America." The SAH Award for Excellence in Architectural Conservation Honoring architect John Eifler, of John Eifler Associates, for his continued restoration of Charnley-Persky House and for his demonstration that historic structures should incorporate green initiatives.

For the Street Triple R we've added high-end adjustable suspension and radially-mounted four-piston brakes, sharpened the geometry and given it a few visual tweaks that tell you this bike is different.
Nothing else comes close to the Street Triple R.

I am looking for recipes for preparing raw foods? Main courses, salads, and deserts. I have started eating raw foods only for health reasons. Thanks |

There are several raw "cook"books on amazon.com that look interesting - try "Raw: The Uncook Book: New Vegetarian Food for Life." I've never tried creating my own raw dishes, but used to frequent a raw foods restaurant in San Francisco that was fabulous. It was amazing what they'd come up with! |
