Hi Everyone, I have a handyman coming over to do some stuff for me. One of the things he'll do is switch out ugly scratched up builder doorknobs in our two story colonial. I bought door hardware from Lowe's -- it's an antiqued brass lever with a curlicue kind of shape. It seems to work pretty well with my first floor decor which has oriental rugs, traditional antiques, etc. But I'm thinking of doing plain round button style door knobs in the same antiqued brass color on the second floor where the bedroom doors are. The elaborate handsets feel like overkill in the private area of the house plus they seem so formal upstairs. Do you think door hardware has to match throughout the whole house? Another not insignificant detail -- the hardware from downstairs costs $27 for each handset and the round button hardware only costs $10. I have 10 doors, so that's a pretty big difference when you add it all up. |

As long as all the knobs have the same finish (antique brass) they do not have to match throughout your home. The finish is the important part. If the finish is the same on all the knobs your home will have a more cohesive feel. |
This the door hardware we're using on the first floor. Would you prefer to see it throughout the whole house or should I do a simple round knob on the bedroom doors on the second floor? The hardware is called the Lido in antique brass. |
Here is a link that might be useful: LIDO Antique Brass
If you are happy with using the round hardware, then changing it to something more expensive seems unnecessary. Especially since none of it will be visible from one area to another, but even then, it's fine. I replaced my french doors and they have lever doorhandles, but the rest of the whole house has round knobs. The finish is the same and I never think a thing about it. I'm sure not one person who's ever come here even noticed it. |

I've read here that it used to be common for a less expensive option to be used in the private areas of a home; for example, pine floors upstairs while there's oak downstairs, or painted trim up and stained down. Why not door hardware? I think it's appropriate and it will be nice to have that little change. |

I agree, you could match the finish and go with a different shape, like the knob. |
We have levers on the outside french doors and knobs on interior doors. They look fine. They are all the same brand and finish. |
Okay, so I was set to listen y'all and do the levers on the first floor and simple knobs on the second and the handyman (and handywoman - they're a married couple working together) and she said "Oh, that antiqued brass finish is so outdated. You should do a pewter finish." And I went "gulp" and was thrown into total indecision so they didn't install any of it! I know the silvery finishes are in but they look super contemporary to me. Uh oh. Who thinks installing antiqued brass is a mistake? Haven't I heard that the gold tones are coming back??? |

Sometimes they post them in the local paper and the names are getting crazy.17 years ago when I looked in the paper at my little brothers pic there was a baby girl beside him named Suzy Q. I thought that was cute.
I kind of like Atreyu but I don't think I could name my baby that. On the same note as "the neverending story" I liked the name Auryn for a girl but I didn't want it pronounced the same as that amulet in the movie it's pronounced Oren, I wanted Ahh-rynne.
I've been seeing "Jareth" alot lately and I think that's pretty cool. Havoc is not a name one should be giving a child if you ask me. I think kids live up to the meanings of their names.

Book of Hosea 14:2-10.
Thus says the LORD: Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God; you have collapsed
through your guilt. Take with you words, and return to the LORD; Say to him, "Forgive all
iniquity, and receive what is good, that we may render as offerings the bullocks from our stalls.
Assyria will not save us, nor shall we have horses to mount; We shall say no more, 'Our god,' to
the work of our hands; for in you the orphan finds compassion."
I will heal their defection, I will love them freely; for my wrath is turned away from them. I will be like the dew for Israel: he shall blossom like the lily; He shall strike root like the Lebanon cedar, and put forth his shoots. His splendor shall be like the olive tree and his fragrance like the Lebanon cedar. Again they shall dwell in his shade and raise grain; They shall blossom like the vine, and his fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
Ephraim! What more
has he to do with idols? I have humbled him, but I will prosper him. "I am like a verdant cypress
tree"-- Because of me you bear fruit! Let him who is wise understand these things; let him who
is prudent know them. Straight are the paths of the LORD, in them the just walk, but sinners stumble
in them.
Psalms 81(80):6c-8a.8bc-9.10-11ab.14.17.
Who made
it a decree for Joseph
when he came out of the land of Egypt.
I hear a new oracle:
"I relieved their shoulders of the burden;
their hands put down the basket.
In distress you called and I rescued you;
unseen, I spoke to you in thunder;
at the waters of Meribah I
tested you and said: Selah.
'Listen, my people, I give you warning!
If only you will obey me, Israel!
There must be no foreign god among you;
you must not worship an alien god.
I, the LORD, am your God,
who brought you up from the land of Egypt.
Open wide your mouth that I may fill it.'
But even now if my people would listen,
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 12:28b-34.
One of
the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them,
asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" Jesus replied, "The first is this:
'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!
You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this:
'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, 'He is One and there is no other than he.' And 'to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself' is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." And when Jesus saw that (he) answered with understanding, he said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." And no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Does nokia web tools supports jquery? If yes how can I work with it.
Wizard hu: Yes I was trying to pay via debit card not with credit card. Nokia should include more and easy payment methods for students who are developing apps in their part time or they should free...
Do you play that role to me??? Kindly make it clear to me.
Ok thanks.
first of all Thanks for your reply. I had read your mentioned link. There is a one-time 1 euro registration fee. But the issue is of payment methods which are quite difficult to developers of many...
Is there any way from which the developer students can get the free nokia publisher's account Like Microsoft store? Or any promotional offers for students? If not then Nokia should think over this...

Color and maintenance. The coloring of the eyebrows is accomplished by using a brow shade that is similar to the color of the head hair, creating a contrast in values between the eyebrows and the complexion. One approach maintains that the color of a person's brows must match their hair. However, this may not always be the best choice.

PTC mayor wants airport authority rep to stay on FCDA board
Proposed changes by the Fayette County Commission to the make-up of the Fayette County Development Authority (FCDA) board drew two requests by Peachtree City Mayor Vanessa Fleisch at the commission's April 10 meeting.
Commissioners are considering updating the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the county and the cities of Tyrone, Fayetteville and Peachtree City. One of the items being considered is to eliminate the position tied to the former Development Authority of Peachtree City (DAPC). In return, Peachtree City would select its representative, as is the case with Tyrone and Fayetteville.
"I would like to request that the intergovernmental agreement related to the FCDA be amended to eliminate the representative of the Development Authority of Peachtree City, which no longer exists, and to replace that position with a citizen representative appointed by the mayor and council," Fleisch said.
Commissioners are also looking to eliminate the FCDA board position tied to the chair of the Peachtree City Airport Authority (PCAA). Fleisch's second request dealt with that issue.
"I would like to request that the commissioners provide through the (IGA) agreement for a representative from PCAA to remain on the board. PCAA is a separate governmental agency, chartered by state legislation and is the sole owner of the airport," said Fleisch. "Falcon Field contributes $140 million to Fayette County and the region's economy each year. It is difficult to imagine the FCDA achieving its highest potential level of success if PCAA is excluded."
Fleisch in her comments also referenced an April 10 letter to Chairman Steve Brown from FCDA board member and PCAA representative Richard Whiteley.
"The PCAA board is united in its position that it will not voluntarily abdicate its seat on the FCDA board," Whiteley's letter said, adding that the airport is an economic driver for the entire county and is self-supporting. "We believe that arbitrarily removing the airport from the FCDA is unjustified, capricious, shortsighted and will have far-reaching consequences for the county's economic development."
Fleisch in further comments noted that Peachtree City accounts for 84 percent of the industrial property in Fayette County, through taxpayers contributes 33 percent of the funds allocated by the commission to FCDA and provides the funding for one of the staff positions at FCDA.
Commissioners at the meeting approved the appointment of new FCDA board members that include Darryl Hicks, Pat Hinchey, Margaret Laton, Todd Strickland and Dennis Dorsey.
want Richard Whitely off the Development Authority, they need to tell us why. This is more fallout from the Pinewood deal, obviously. So what is the connection? What is going on here, really?
If Commission wants a clean slate due to issues, this will pass over quickly if Commission grants the airport authority one member approved by PTC. Mayor Fleish can appoint someone, besides the former representative. Both sides come out saving face.

The library is the last place one would expect to see a heated game of football, but at the Lefrak City branch, kids stand along the sidelines, cheering for their friends as they score. Every Friday at 4:30 p.m. the library hosts a free Wii Sports Challenge for kids to compete on the popular video game console.
"Oh, they can teach me some things, even," said Chris Asante, community liaison for the library, who organizes and runs the events. "They all are naturals, especially the sports games."
Asante tried to keep organized the 16 students gathered in the library last Friday while they take turns playing the games. Children range in age from 7 to 14, but Asante says you're never too young or old to play the Wii.
With its life-like controllers that bring actual swinging, throwing and running into the mix of video-game moves, it's a good way to keep the kids active and engaged when they can't go outside, Asante said. They have boxing, baseball, bowling and tennis at their disposal. And with concern over a growing youth obesity epidemic, the Wii may even help engage the least athletic of the group.
The event is part of a larger effort to give children and teens more activities after school, according to Joanne King, associate director of communications for the Queens Library.
Branches throughout the borough have started to host similar events including game nights, open mic poetry nights, hip hop classes and even "Teen Happy Hour" every Friday at 3 p.m. at the Flushing Library, where teenagers play games, listen to music and are generally just given a comfortable space to hang out in.
Since there never seem to be enough nighttime activities for young people in the city, beyond sleepovers or movies which cost money, the events fill a much needed void. They keep children playing while supervised, the perfect combination for concerned parents.
Daniel Roycroft, acting manager of the Lefrak City Library, is happy to see the life these events have brought to the branches and to the children and teens attending them. "It makes the library a destination for them, it gives them another reason to come," Roycroft said.
The system is hoping to expand its capacities in holding these events, said Sharon Diamond-Velox, one of the organizers. She says the events "absolutely" give kids something fun to do after school and hopes they'll be able to get more games and controllers to accommodate the number of kids who are interested. The library is also considering making video games available for check out for kids to use on rainy days at home.
"But right now we're focusing on buy-a-book," she said, referring to the Queens Library campaign to help fill its shelves in light of budget cuts. "Books always come first."
"But we do accept donations," she hinted.
Asante said he would like to see more children be able to participate, but with only one controller to share, playing time is sometimes cut short. "I have to give them three, four minutes each," he said. "Once we get another controller, it'll be way smoother, more organized."
The young players don't seem to mind the brevity of the game playing. As each child finished his or her turn driving down the football field for a touchdown, each soon gathered around lively games of Uno and Sorry.
And of course, there is always one last thing to do before the sports challenge begins, said Diamond-Velox: "They have to finish their homework first."

What College Did Football Jim Brown Attend?
What are some College or Professional Football Players with Good Testimonies?
Just please help me, i would like to find some one famous to share their testimony with my youth group of 300.
I used to have a great one i shared a lot, (got it off Paul Harvey) but it doesn't work as well anymore. it was about OJ
Not sure the story is 100% accurate. but it starts as a very young boy that had to wear leg braces due to rickets. the young man meets his idol Jim Brown. he says "Mr. Brown, I plan too be able to walk without Braces some day, Jim Brown answers "that nice son, and attempts to walk away. then the young man says "Mr. Brown, I will play football some day" to which Brown answers good for you, then the young man says, Mr. Brown, I plan to play pro football. with this Jim Brown stops and listens to the boy. but his last statement is what really gets his attention. Mr. Brown, i plan to break every one of your records.
Jim Brown asks whats your name son. Orenthal James Simpson. was the reply
it shows you can do what you set your mind too.
Before i eat my delicious fajitas...... who is the....?
Greatest athelete to play NFL football. Bo Knows- Broken hip hr with sox 1st ab after surgery Deon Prime time HR and TD in Superbowl world series same year. Jim Brown-all time great. When playing lacrosse at syracuse did so well almost every rule today is structured to stop him. Add your own try to see who is the man. These are all great football players. I said athelete Jim brown did not just play lacrosse he reinvented it. I stand corrected. good thing i dont work for the associated press. thanks bud.
JIm Brown...he was great all-around and one of the best lacrosse players of all time too
fajitas... i'm jealous.
Do football fans today truly know how great Jim Brown was?
THe idea that Jim Brown played against 'all white boys' is ridiculous and not true. He played in an era when you damn near had to decapitate somebody to get a penalty called, where racism was still rampant and dirty tactics were used all the time. Teams threw the ball about 12-15 times a game back then so the entire defensive game plan was built around stopping Jim Brown and they STILL couldn't stop him. And I totally disagree that his game wouldn't translate. JIm Brown was 6'2 220 with tremendous speed. He was before his time. It would be like putting Peterson or Payton back in the 1960's. It was because of guys like Jim Brown paving the way that allowed guys like Peterson to do what they're doing now. He was outspoken and independent in an era where a black athlete was expected to just shut up and be glad he was being allowed to play at all. He is probably the most influential African American football player ever for his impact on and off the field. And yes, I'm aware he's also had some well publicized issues with women off the field as well. No excuse for that but his overall impact can't be overstated. He averaged 5 YPR and 100 YPG for a CAREER and never missed a game.
jim morrison??
where was jim morrison in 1963?
During 1963 Jim was actually living in Florida. Jim attended two colleges in Florida before moving out to California. Prior to going to Florida Jim lived with his parents in Alexandria, VA while attending high school. during that time Jim showed little ambition to apply to college, saying he would just go to a nearby college or live somewhere else and then go to college later on. After Jim graduated in 1961 he went to a community college in Clearwater. (Jim was born in, and lived in Florida earlier on in his life, that is why he was applied to go to school far away from Washington DC) After a year or so Jim transferred to FSU. I am pretty sure he was an undeclared major at Florida State but took classes that appealed to his interests. Jim either lived with his grandparents, or was living in a trailer that he bought that was located behind a girl's private school. It was in 64' he applied to be in UCLA and moved out to California.
Why won't Jim Ross announce for RAW anymore if he isn't retired?
Jim Ross enjoys working with Young up and coming Wrestlers. He is enjoying working for NXT. Moreover, as a University of Oklahoma Season Ticket Holder for College Football and Men's College Basketball he goes to as many University of Oklahoma Games as he can. By working for WWE/NXT, Jim Ross only has to go to Central Florida every week, rather than going all over the world. Jim Ross also goes to Stanford, Connecticut and does The Legends of Wrestling Roundtable Segments that we see on WWE Classics on Demand.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

My son is being watched for scoliosis (very mild right now). He is 13 and a side sleeper. I am looking at the following queen mattresses Sealy South Court Firm, Sealy Spring Crossing Firm and Serta Perfect Sleeper SR7001. He likes the South Court best. None are pillow tops. Can you recommend the best mattress for him or if there is a better choice?
Hi Lisa,
The South Court is an excellent choice...but not at the prices they charge. That's a Reserve Series Level 7 Posturepedic....like our Wysteria Lane.
But, Sealy is having a sale....the level 9 for the same price as the level 7. In firm, they all feel pretty much the same, with the level 9 just a bit beefier...and your 13 year old isn't going to be getting any lighter over the next 5 years. http://www.themattressexpert.com/Sealy-Posturepedic/
I'd suggest the cushion firm over the firm. It's still firm, but not as stiff feeling and should be more comfortable for a side sleeper.
Order on Line or Call
Always...NEW...Factory Fresh to You
Free Delivery Nationwide...and, with NO SALES TAX.
Simmons, Sealy, Stearns & Foster, also - Adjustable Beds
and - TWO SIDED, FLIPPABLE MATTRESSES....made to hold up to the heaviest of us.

Are you just interested in growing from seed? If so, it won't be until June or better before seeds will be available. If you are wanting fruit anytime soon, you would be much better off ordering yourself a grafted plant. |

Stampede Named A North American Distributor of Vaddio EasyUSB MAC & PC Video Conferencing Tools
In a move designed to dramatically expand the market for soft client conferencing system solutions in virtually all end-user vertical markets, Vaddio Inc. and Stampede Presentation Products, Inc. today announced that, effective immediately, Stampede will serve as a North American distributor of Vaddioâs recently introduced EasyUSB video conferencing tools. The announcement was made by Vaddio VP of Sales Tom Mingo and Stampede President & COO Kevin Kelly.
âThe market introduction of EasyUSB created a new standard for computer peripherals based on professional AV quality performance,â Vaddioâs Tom Mingo said today. âStampede, with its proven expertise in every segment of the IT conferencing market, is uniquely qualified to represent the capabilities of the EasyUSB tools.â
Amplifying this point, Stampedeâs Kevin Kelly noted that Stampede dealers now can offer a viable high quality conferencing option to customers who do not want to invest in a traditional video conferencing system. âVaddioâs EasyUSB is a game-changing product line that allows dealers to offer a compelling cost-effective way to build an enterprise-quality video conferencing system with affordable soft codecs like Microsoft Lync, Skype, Face Time, and Google Talk. Together with our other video conferencing solutions, specifically those from Sony and Radvision, Stampede now offers an unprecedented range of offerings for all applications, platforms, and price points. Whatâs more, every one of our system solutions comes backed with the necessary engineering expertise and product knowledge required to make every solution we sell an easy turnkey experience for customers.â
Introduced in March 2012, the Vaddio EasyUSB line of video conferencing tools brings to market the IT VAR and ProAV quality computer peripherals IT professionals need to transform their personal computer into an effective, affordable meeting room system for environments that range from a small video conferencing system all the way up to a large integrated lecture capture classroom. The line includes an HD USB PTZ camera, a USB audio mixer/amplifier, USB microphones, and a web based room control system. The solution also includes an AV bridge that allows legacy and traditional AV systems to connect to the audio and video inputs on computers through a USB connection.
Furthermore, Vaddioâs EasyUSB tools are based on UVC/UAC USB standards, eliminating the need for custom software drivers or a particular OS to be installed on a MAC or PC â so they work seamlessly with any soft client conferencing system including Skype, Google+, Scopia, Movi and Microsoft Lync, as well as lecture capture software systems such as Tegrity and Panopto. When added to a MAC or PC, the combination of EasyUSB tools creates a complete group conferencing solution that allows users to engage in any type of collaboration and conference activity.

The administration of the CVM is working diligently to enhance the learning environment for current and prospective students through initiatives designed to increase the diversity of faculty, staff, and students. These initiatives and programs have been integrated with the overall diversity efforts of the university and have placed the CVM in a leadership role in this area.
Dean Eleanor Green is a past chair of the Texas A&M University Council on Climate and Diversity. Additionally, Dr. Kenita Rogers, the Associate Dean for Professional Programs, has been named CVM Director of Climate and Diversity. Also impacting diversity, current Veterinary Pathobiology Department Head, Dr. Linda Logan, has been named Director of International Programs. In recognition of their diversity efforts, the college has also been awarded $310,000 over the past two years from the Texas A&M University.
Meet Dr. Sonja Oliphan Lee, the CVM's first female veterinarian.
Kenita Rogers, Associate Dean for Professional Programs & Director of Climate and Diversity
Linda Logan, Department Head for Veterinary Pathobiology & Director of International Programs
The International Programs Committee has been successful in securing more than $100K through reallocation funds from the university to enhance student learning by providing study abroad opportunities around the world. Undergraduate and DVM students have been able to participate in programs in Europe and South America, as well as a new program that has been initiated in South Africa.
Additionally, members of the administration, faculty, and staff have actively participated in diversity seminars that have been offered through main campus. These training programs have prepared members of the CVM family to meaningfully engage in an open and diverse environment and to serve as leaders in future diversity initiatives.
Financial support for diversity programs and recruitment has been integral to the success of the CVM's initiatives. The Patterson Minority Fellowship and the TAMU-AFS Diversity Fellowships have enabled the CVM to recruit high caliber students from underrepresented minority groups. These funds are designed to assist these students with scholarly activities as they pursue veterinary residencies in a specialty area or doctoral degrees in biomedical sciences.
In addition, the Biomedical Sciences undergraduate program has continued to reach throughout the State of Texas, building 2 + 2 articulation agreements with junior colleges that facilitate the admission of students into the Biomedical Sciences program after successful completion of two years of a prerequisite curriculum at the junior college. These agreements, and the active recruitment and advising of students by the Biomedical Sciences advisory team, have led to one of the highest levels of diversity within the university. Many of the Biomedical Sciences students are also the first in their families to attend college.
The CVM will continue to assess current initiatives and plan for future programs that will address our growing focus on diversity. As a leader within the university, the CVM recognizes the importance of a strategic focus to create a welcoming environment that fosters teamwork, tolerance, and collaborative learning.
Partial sponsorship of this program has been made available by a generous donation from the Carl B. & Florence E. King Foundation through the endowment of the Carl B. King Dean of Veterinary Medicine.

Well I am back in the saddle again and making some progress on getting things cleaned out and finding and labeling homes for all of our stuff. Today was a good day.. my husband and son built me 12 dividers for my pantry based on how I shop. My pantry is a free standing vintage style jelly cupboard and it does a good job of holding quite a bit of stuff but it was getting hard to find what I had. The dividers are wonderful. I have included a photo of the pantry with the dividers but before
I have painted and papered it.. that is for this weekend! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Very clever! |
Great idea! I have a pantry closet with three big dosorganized shelves. I will look for dividers. Where did you get yours? |

Jannie, My son made them for me. I looked and looked for some like it.. and while you can buy wooden shelf supports they were not deep enough for my liking so I asked my son to make some.. he makes them to dimension... it's quite a luxury :) He is 10 years old and loves woodworking.. he has already taken a few orders from my friends to make some..he is very proud. Maddiemom |
Your son made them-that's fantastic! And he can make and sell them-that's even better. You have a great kid! |

maddiemom6 , that's very nice! You are a lucky mom :) |
- Posted by maddiemom6 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 27, 08 at 17:53
Thanks!.. I know I am lucky.. we are all quite handy but it's so fun to see the kids learning so much. My 10 year old who makes the dividers is a real Rennisance kid.. he knits and does wood work, loves to cook and knows how to sew. He makes his own pj's and even laid the wood floor in his own craftroom. Got to love a kid who is always up for a run to the fabric store :) Maddiemom6 |
Cool! I knit , was taught by my Grandmother years ago. I did a little research on knitting. It was originally a trade limited to men. Women then "took over" in the last couple of centuries and made it more of a craft or pasttime, not a job. |

Maddiemom6, Welcome back! Am I confused, or did you get your kitchen completely done? You always have such good, creative ideas. I'm sure we can't wait to see the completely finished product! |

Maddiemom6, your bosch will do a load of dishes in 30 minutes? What model? My MIL got a new dishwasher, and she loves the *racks* (so do I), but it takes 90 minutes to do a load, and it makes her CRAZY! I thought of suggesting a different model to FIL, for him to buy for her. |
- Posted by maddiemom6 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 29, 08 at 22:09
Quick wash cycle which gets them very clean and my kids are not good about scraping!.. I do run the hot water to get it *up* to the DW so it does not take the extra 7 minutes to heat the water.. I just got it at Lowes, and tomorrow morning I will get out of bed and go downstairs to see which model number it is.. it was about $600. WAY less than we paid for the super fancy LG which also took 1.5 hours to do a load and 70 minutes for a quick wash! Maddiemom |

About shelf dividers...I have used shelf brackets, which you install upside down, so that their orientation is the same as what you see in Maddiemom6's photos. For a couple of open shelves, I bought really wonderful antiqued metal ones at Anthropologie, and for storage, I've used ones from the home center. Cheap, simple, and effective. Here's a link to the decorative ones. |

21 There will be a lot of misery at that time, a kind of misery that has not happened from the beginning of the world until now and will certainly never happen again. | 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again. |

1967 Chevrolet Chevelle
Click Below To Watch Video
Click Above To Watch Video
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Chevelle
Trim: 138 True SS
Color: Red/Black
Price: $35,900
During the 60s, Chevrolet produced one out of every 10 cars sold in the United States. Since the Super Sport treatment was often an options package instead of an actual trim code, this lead to many models with numbers that are very hard to prove. Not surprisingly, when we drive a Chevy SS into our showroom, the first question we usually get is; "Do you know if it's a real SS?"
Fortunately with cars like this 1967 Chevelle SS 396, which were coded from the factory with SS-specific cowl tags and VIN numbers, our answer is, "YES"! As the recipient of a top-notch frame-off restoration, this '67 Chevelle Super Sport has all the right stuff. A big block with a 4-speed makes this Chevy a highly desirable, investment grade muscle car!
This real deal SS396 Chevelle wears a straight and solid steel body. During the restoration the car was expertly detailed to provide a straight, wave free, rust free, pristine body. The gaps and panel alignment are impressive. All of the chrome and stainless is beautiful. This Chevelle is much nicer than any mass produced original car from the 1960s. It carries a super clean finish on top of a high quality restoration that is simply stunning.
Glance under the slick red hood and you'll find the 396 cubic inch motor, which produces over 350 horse power. The original exhaust manifolds send spent gases into the Flowmaster exhaust system. The big block is covered in a traditional coat of Chevy Orange paint. What good would a killer big block be without a great chassis and suspension to back it up? Behind the thundering 396, the cars 4-speed transmission, sends power the rear end. A new clutch and pressure plate were included in the restoration. The drivetrain is held off the ground by a suspension which features front power disc brakes. The bottom of this Chevelle has been restored to the same high standards as its exterior panels and engine compartment. To complete the look, 17 inch chrome Vision Wheels and new tires were added.
During its frame-off restoration, this Chevelle SS was equipped with a great looking black vinyl interior. The front bucket and rear bench seats are in excellent shape, and the dash exhibits no fading or warping at all. In the middle of the dash, you'll find a new AM/FM radio. Below the dash you'll find a black console that includes a fully functioning clock in front of the Hurst shifter. At the bottom of the car, "Chevrolet" branded rubber floor mats protect like-new black carpet. And at the top of the car, a tight, fade-free headliner hangs the sun visors in front of a fully functional dome light. In front of the driver, a Blinker tachometer and a full set of new gauges keep you informed. The restored trunk features a new mat and a spare tire.
With a beautifully done frame off restoration, big block motor, 4-speed transmission and pristine interior, this real deal SS396 Chevelle is a rare, investment grade muscle car that is better than new in every way. If you're in the market for a no excuses show piece with an unbeatable combination of style and performance, this '67 Super Sport is your kind of car! 248-974-9513

As a small-business owner, you rely heavily on the few employees you have. But what happens when employees don't show up for work? Of course there are legitimate reasons to be absent, but when your key employee starts calling in sick every Friday during ski season, it's time to take action. Here's how:
- Set a good example. In a small office, employees know when the boss doesn't show up on time. Be prompt, and whenever you're out of the office for any reason, let employees know where you are and how you can be reached.
- Look within. Are there good reasons employees are shirking work? Perhaps your productivity goals are unrealistic or your office is uncomfortable. A few simple adjustments can get people excited about working for you.
- Be flexible. When an employee asks for time off due to stress, family problems or personal needs, use your judgment. An employee is more likely to respect your attendance policy if you show you understand his or her needs.
- Offer rewards. Give an extra vacation day or a small cash bonus to reward an employee for excellent attendance.
- Be prepared. Establish a relationship with a temporary employment agency that can provide backup when a key employee is absent.

OK, here's the new Ibis Mojo SL-R, Ibis have spent five years refining the Mojo/Mojo SL, it was time for a full reboot. A sub-5 lbs(2250g) trail bike frame with the proven Mojo/Mojo SL geometry and suspension (140 mm travel).
Despite the lack of model years, from the introduction of the Mojo, through the Mojo SL and the Mojo HD, Ibis has continually sought to refine and improve the bikes we offer. The present Mojo SL and the Mojo HD represent the most advanced evolution of our designs. The Mojo SL frames that we make today, for instance, are dramatically stiffer and stronger than the original Mojo. With the Mojo HD, by incorporating some of the latest component standards, such as - tapered steerers and thru-axle rear axle designs, we took it a step further. However, to make the Mojo SL-R we had to start from scratch.
At the heart of it, the Mojo SL-R utilizes a new manufacturing technology that delivers a stronger, stiffer, lighter and more consistent carbon fiber structure. The carbon fiber preform is laid up on a sacrificial latex mandrel that is a precise mirror of the optimal interior profile. This method allows us to use long continuous fiber plies and eliminates the need for foam fillers and dams. The end result is stronger, stiffer, and lighter.
In addition to this new manufacturing method, we utilized several new component standards to further optimize the design:
- Tapered 1 1/8" to 1.5" head tube (Cane Creek ZS44 ZeroStack 1 1/8" top/ Traditional 1.5" bottom). Provides more precise steering control and enables the use of Cane Creek's AngleSet for customized steering geometry.
- 142 x 12mm Maxle thru-axle rear drop outs. Tie the rear end together providing a stout Mojo HD like swing arm and easier wheel installation.
- Direct mount front derailleur. Using the high direct mount standard drivetrain compatibility for both 2x10 and 3x10 drivetrain. Also, eliminates the "neck-down" of the seat tube improving BB stiffness and frame strength.
- BB92/Press GXP style integrated BB is lighter and stiffer
Additional features include:
- FOX RP23 with Genuine Kashima Coat and Adaptive Logic ProPedal shock standard.
- Carbon fiber post-mount rear brake mounts and integrated drop outs
- Four colors: Matte Clear, Lamborine Orange, South Beach White and DB5 Silver
- The new chain suck plate has more coverage
- Same proven geometry of the Mojo SL
- Titanium fasteners abound
- Links interchangeable with Mojo SL links
- Best of all, target weight for the frame is sub 5 pounds (2250g) for a large matte clear.
- Complete bike with XTR in size large 22.4lbs(10.16 kilos) w/o pedals

Those Well Meaning, But Stupid and Dangerous 'Unvaccinators', Part 4
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 5
That Black Plague Vaccine Sure Was Effective!
The World Health Organization, CDC, and other government health agencies like to declare a lot of things. Emergencies, outbreaks, conflicts of interest, recalled pills, hidden memos….but one thing they like to declare is that a country is free of a disease; in other words, a disease is eradicated.
When these agencies declare eradication of an illness, they insinuate that somehow they were responsible for its disappearance. My question is, who was taking the credit when the black plagued phased out? Or how about leprosy? How did these illness leave without the almighty arm of the pharmaceutical industry?
They left the same way polio left, as did the huge numbers of measles and mumps cases. You may be scratching your head at that last sentence. Haven't you been brought up to believe that it was the vaccines that eradicated those diseases? A hard look at history actually shows a few things. A lot of coincidence, a lot of politics, a lot of number fudging and a lot of rewriting of history.
Round and Round She Goes, Where She Stops Nobody Knows…..
To put this all into an easy context, you need to understand one thing. All illnesses have a life cycle. The flu comes around en masse every winter; chicken pox every spring; pertussis, measles, and mumps every four years; and polio every 50 years. As proof of this I want you to remember back to the Indian tsunami the day after Christmas 2004. Yes, the lack of sanitation and infrastructure after that disaster set up ripe conditions for illness, but why was it polio that popped up and not MRSA or leprosy? Simple. Because it was time. It was approximately 50 years after the US outbreak of polio, no? Other proof of this is the fact that India, Indonesia and Algeria experience Black (Bubonic) Plague have had unexplained outbreaks of the plague when they had been plague free for the past 30-50 years. And although an effective vaccine has been available for 60 years, the number of people infected with yellow fever over the last two decades has increased. Additionally, there have been a number of countries where cholera re-emerged after having been absent for several years. Why? How? Weren't vaccines suppossed to have prevented all of that?
The Mouth of Truth
The truth is, not only was the huge polio outbreak of the 50's well on it's way out the door by the time mass vaccination programs were implemented (as was the huge mumps and measles outbreaks of the 30's), but once the vaccines were being used, the definition of polio changed. No longer were you diagnosed with polio, but meningitis. If you look back in the books, the polio numbers dropped in direct correlation with the rising meningitis numbers. And did you know that there was a strong and fierce segment of the allopathic community fighting against mass vaccination of the polio vaccine? Even Jonas Salk, the inventor of the original vaccine said, on Oct. 11, 1 954, as reported from Pittsburgh by Saul Pett, Associated Press writer, "When you inoculate children with a polio vaccine you don't sleep well for two or three weeks". Not wholly because of the possible side effects, but because most believed vaccination ultimately wouldn't work. But, there was a lot of pressure from the public for the government to save them from this illness, of which 98% of those afflicted recovered completely without any intervention. And there was a lot of money already sunk into the development of the vaccine. For some it was a simple case of being a hero and making some money.
In spite of all the holes in the polio eradication fabric, the government, along with their bed buddies, the CDC and WHO, took credit for the dwindling polio numbers ad nauseum. So much so that eventually those few raising questions were mocked and the public CDC hero worship began. It's the greatest vaccination lie in history, and once the 100th monkey finds out about it, I believe it'll be the great fall of the pharmaceutical industry, since this lie is the foundation upon which the industry has built itself.
The truth is that vaccines have side effects, sometimes very serious and fatal.
The truth is that the benefits of vaccines are inflated while the risks of the illnesses are overstated and the risks of the vaccines are almost entirely buried.
The truth is that vaccines are not a silver bullet….your vaccinated child is not only still at risk of contracting illness, but now they are also at risk of contracting auto immune and neurological disorders.
The truth is that for as much as they claim to save you, conversely, vaccines make you just as vulnerable.
The truth is that there is no magic wand that is going to save you.
The truth is that there are some dirty, greedy liars in the pharmaceutical industry and government and that those liars tend to have a lot of influence over public policy, and therefore opinion.
The truth is that the vaccine industry can no longer deny these facts.
The industry, backed by the media, tried to paint those who dare question them as crazy nuts for decades, ultimately without success.
The industry tried, and is still trying its best to recruit your caregiver, celebrities and your friends and neighbors on this smear campaign to bully you into shutting your mouth and denying your gut feelings and giving into the fear they are feeding you by the spoonfuls.
As CDC media puppet Nancy Snyderman, MD would put it – in her condescending tone on the Today Show in the midst of the Swine Flu hysteria, "Just get the damn vaccine!".
The problem is that they underestimated the power of truth and the intelligence and drive parents have to protect and heal their children.

Cincinnati Partners With San Francisco Start-Up
Putting the sense of community back in Cincinnati neighborhoods. That's the goal of social networking site Nextdoor.com.
Today city leaders partnered with the San Francisco start up. Have you ever needed to borrow a ladder? Get someone to mow the lawn or learn about road repairs? Neighbors have a lot of information, but these days most people don't know how to contact them. Cue nextdoor, a private social network for your neighborhood. You just saw part of the company's introductory video.
Just think of it as an interactive neighborhood newsletter, where everything from babysitting recommendations, to crime alerts are discussed. "It's not just something for tech savvy folks, we have 96 year olds using nextdoor," says Sarah Leary, co-founder of Nextdoor.com
Today Cincinnati city leaders announced their partnership with Nextdoor.
"This is a great opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other, to share information," says Mayor Mark Mallory. Mindi Rich started the Clifton forum in September. Today more than 750 residents use it. They've already organized book clubs and a cycling group.
"The site not only allows you to communicate online, but it encourages you to meet. I think it's great," says Mindi Rich, Clifton Nextdoor.
Each of Cincinnati's 52 neighorhoods have their own private pages, to access your address must be verified through Nextdoor. Many of the Nextdoor community members are talking about this street, Orchard street, they want to save the trees from getting trimmed by wires. Along with solving community issues, Cincinnati police hope Nextdoor will help them curb crime.
"Instead of going door to door and hanging a door knocker things like that, we can get information out in a very timely manner and then follow up as we see people," says Interim Cincinnati police chief, Paul Humphries.
Nextdoor is free to join and as of today, more than 5000 Cincinnatians have signed up.

95. Pop-Up Art Loop Chicago / Chicago Loop Alliance Launched at the height of the recession, Pop-Up Art Loop was conceived as a way to turn increased vacancy in downtown storefronts into an opportunity to showcase the Windy City's arts community. Hundreds of thousands of office workers, tourists, and residents pack the Loop daily, making its storefronts ideal for exposing artists' work to new audiences. Taking its cue from retail window displays, the Chicago Loop Alliance, a member-based business organization, provides free space for pop-up galleries. Last year, the Alliance took over 16 vacant properties and invited dozens of arts organizations to curate 49 original exhibitions, each accompanied by public programs. WIth these efforts, the Alliance hopes to build a more "curious, smart, and bold" Chicago.

Program provides free training to small-business owners in Gary

Greater Gary Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Chuck Hughes, left, joins Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, DGC Group Deardra Green-Campbell and Five Plus CEO Peter Justen in explaining the Urban Enterprise Initiative Thursday at City Hall.

The Urban Entrepreneur Initiative is from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 12 at the City Hall Annex building, 839 Broadway, Gary. For more information, go to www.gary.in.us/eventPrint.aspx?EventID=1617
Municipalities interested in the Five Plus/The Green-Campbell Group program should contact Five Plus CEO Peter Justen at email@example.com.
Updated: September 24, 2013 6:28AM
GARY — A new initiative launched by the city will give up to 1,000 Gary entrepreneurs the financial know-how to run their businesses better.
The Urban Enterprise Initiative brings $250,000 worth of software licenses to small-business owners wanting to dig into their finances and figure out what they can be doing better or doing at all, said Pete Justen, CEO of Washington-based Five Plus who, along with The Green-Campbell Group principal Deardra Green-Campbell, is donating his software and training program. Using Quickbooks and a cloud dashboard app, businesses will be able to track 7,000 feeds that will help them make better financial decisions.
"The (Five Plus Trax) program is built for the nonfinancial person, and we use Quickbooks because it is the standard," Justen said.
The program is free-of-charge to Gary residents when it kicks off Oct. 12, said Green-Campbell, a Gary native based in Atlanta who is donating a curriculum she developed called "Business Basics" to run concurrently with the app. The curriculum has successfully trained more than 17,000 entrepreneurs across the country and, by the end of the training, gives small-business owners the tools to write a comprehensive business plan.
Green-Campbell met Justen a few months ago, and the two brainstormed what they could do to help small-business owners, who Justen said are the backbone of the nation. She told him she wanted to help Gary first.
"I grew up in Elyria (Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland), and there were three Ford plants, U.S. Steel, American Ship. Now, it's just like Gary, and it makes me mad. Entrepreneurship built this country, and it's time to change (the economy) back to it."
Justen also praised Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson for getting behind the effort.
"(The mayor) may not always do the fastest thing, but she does the right thing," Justen said. "We're not giving a handout but a hand up to the people who need it."
The city is donating space at the City Hall Annex building at 839 Broadway to house the initiative, Freeman-Wilson said; for those who can't make it in person that day, business owners can still take advantage of the training by webinar. The program's cycles will last 10 weeks apiece, and those participating won't be required to pay a fee for continuing the license, city spokeswoman Chelsea Whittington said.
Gary Economic Development Corp., Gary Chamber of Commerce, ACCION and the Northwest Indiana Small Business Development Center are also participating in the initiative. Hussain Bhanpuri, a loan officer with ACCION, said its program, in Gary since February, is similar to the Urban Enterprise Initiative in many respects. It, however, is also a microlender to small businesses.
Nevertheless, Bhanpuri sees a synergy between the two.
"It's all about outreach," he said.
According the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses comprise 99.7 percent of employers and represent 49.2 percent of private-sector employment, Green-Campbell said. Small businesses also submit 16 times the number of patents per employee than their larger counterparts.

Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — The U.S. Department of Transportation has started a campaign to prevent teens from texting while driving, and a Louisiana-based company is getting behind it.
Cell Control is a device made to block all cell phone use in cars. Studies show that distracted driving is more dangerous than driving drunk.
Creators say the DOT campaign is right on target with what they're trying to do - make the roads safer for everyone.
"There's awareness, there's education, there's laws, but none of those actually impact the behavior of teenagers in real time," stated Cell Control CEO Scott Springer.
Cell Control creators say their device actually allows parents to monitor cell phone use and speed while their teens are driving.

- Phillip Retzky, MA, LMHC
Phillip Retzky, MA, LMHC, a graduate of Southwestern College, has a private practice in Santa Fe, and enjoys his continued relationship with his alma mater. As an undergraduate at UCLA and UCSB, he began working in Community Mental Health in the early 70's. His training at LA Psychiatric Service incorporated early models of Crisis Intervention. In Santa Barbara he helped run a volunteer program of peer sex educators, speaking in schools and throughout the community. He then went on to study Photography at the San Francisco Art Institute, where he later became the school counselor.Phillip studied writing at The Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA, focusing on short stories and creative non-fiction. With a sense of returning to his "original career," he entered the masters program in grief and loss at SWC in 2005, to incorporate and transform the many losses he experienced during the AIDS crisis in the 80's and 90's, including the loss of his partner, Mitchell, and to work on himself in new ways. The next 2 years working with Janet Schreiber, Connie Buck, Jim Nolan, amongst a rich faculty of others, was nothing less than transformative. Bringing all these gifts of 58 years into his private practice (with clients young, old, LGBT, straight), feels like a vast journey into the past, present and future. Consciousness is shifting every moment. He still takes pictures daily, and helps people with their private art collections.

Using the Stick With It palette has been such a wonderful experience! It has made my job a lot easier when it comes to organisation and customization of my palettes. The fact that it is not magnetic is great because it makes my kit that little bit lighter and when it comes to carting around huge kits, it makes all the difference. Thank you Monetta for such a great product!

"There are several things about the Palette that make it perfect for everyone: ability to design your own palette with whatever makeup brands you choose, being able to have more makeup but less bulk/weight, convenience of taking eyeshadow/blush/etc with you in one case, and so much more. I am thrilled to have Stick With It® palette as a part my makeup kit! Thanks Monetta!"

How To Fight in Six Inch Heels
Directed by Ham Tran
In the new uproarious comedy, HOW TO FIGHT IN SIX INCH HEELS, director Ham Tran (JOURNEY FROM THE FALL) and triple threat – writer/producer/star – Kathy Uyen (KEIU) team up to create a vibrant Asian American feature that scored box office success in Vietnam in 2013. Soon to make a similar mark in the United States, we are thrilled to launch the film's first stop at CAAMFest.
Meet Anne, an ambitious Vietnamese American fashion designer who has it all: a successful career and a dreamy fiance. Things quickly change, when Kiet, the fiance relocates to Vietnam and Anne becomes suspicious of Kiet's intentions. In haste she flies to Vietnam, disguises herself as a supermodel and accidentally becomes Vietnam's new IT girl.
HOW TO FIGHT is a benchmark film that showcases the best of Vietnam's film industry, which is lead by a plethora of Asian Americans. A success for the entire cast and crew, however Bay Area's own Kathy Uyen shines bright in this breakout role. Reminiscent of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, HOW TO FIGHT is a cleverly written film bursting with strong female characters, a perfect blend of humorous and touching moments and of course, fashion a plenty. This is the perfect film to start off CAAMFest with style and celebrate Asian Americans who are making global impact.
