Pittsburgh Contest Winner Looking To Raise Awareness for Autism and Special Needs Education
CHICAGO, July 12, 2006 — When Vanessa Veltre of White Oak, Pa., won more than $20,000 in cash and prizes from Apartments.com and Budget Truck Rental in the third annual Apartments.com Room to Move Contest, she saw an opportunity for both her and her 28-year-old brother, Vince, to expand their horizons. A rare genetic disease, Mosaic Trisomy 2P, has left Vince non-communicative with a combination of autism and epilepsy; he seldom has the opportunity to explore and live in housing outside of his boyhood home. As the Apartments.com Room to Move Contest grand prize winner, Veltre will soon be moving out of her parents' house and into her own apartment where she plans on having Vince as a regular visitor. "Winning the contest not only means freedom for me but also freedom for my brother," said Veltre. "My parents do such a good job caring for him but it would be nice to give them a break and give my brother a chance to expand his world to include my new apartment." Veltre will use any media opportunities as a contest winner to raise awareness of autism and music therapy for the treatment of developmental disorders. According to the Autism Society of America, the diagnosis and treatment of autism-related illnesses has increased 172 percent since 1990 and more than 90 percent of the $90 billion in annual healthcare costs is spent on adult autism services. Furthermore, two-thirds of lifelong care costs can be reduced with early diagnosis and intervention. As a music therapist for the Craig Academy, an elementary, middle and high school program that treats children with severe emotional and behavioral disorders, Veltre can attest to the benefits of early diagnosis in helping autistic children and their families. Veltre won the contest and the votes of thousands because of an essay she sent to Apartments.com that described her living situation with her parents and brother. Her essay told of listening to Barbra Streisand all day, every day as she is Vince's favorite artist. Vince is happiest when her music, particularly her Christmas album, is playing on every radio in the house. Even Barbra Streisand can't listen to that much Barbra Streisand but Veltre is happy that her music can bring such delight to her brother. As part of her grand prize, Veltre will splurge on an iBook to help her record lesson plans for her students and will use the HGTV room makeover to convert her former bedroom into a studio for the voice lessons her mother teaches. When she moves into her new apartment, Veltre will finally be free of Barbra Streisand, if only temporarily. "Streisand music is good in small doses, so I won't mind keeping some of her albums around for my brother's visits," said Veltre.

I hate to burst your dream, but when the number is that high it's because of spiders, bots, and guests.
You can try and break it, I just don't know when a lot of people are around. Mondays might be good because a lot of people are around to get the podcast.
10/1 was a Wednesday at mid-afternoon, so that could be another time to try.

HP Split 13 X2 review
HP was among the first manufacturers to launch a hybrid laptop with the Envy X2, and although we weren't impressed with its small size and basic specifications, that hasn't stopped HP selling a fair few of them. So many, in fact, that the company is expanding the range with the Split 13 X2. It uses the same magnetic hinge, but virtually everything else has been changed to create an altogether more modern hybrid.
Part 13in tablet, part keyboard dock, the Split X2 runs the full version of Windows 8 and detaches with the flick of a switch. Once docked, the keyboard makes it feel like any other laptop, but when taking apart you've got a huge tablet that can still run all your desktop apps.
The 1,366x768 display won't blow you away, although at 13in it's more than big enough to get most everyday tasks done and still has the pixels to play 720p videos at their native resolution.
Power comes from an Intel 4th Generation Core i5 CPU and 4GB of RAM. The tablet contains a solid state disk for the operating system, and the keyboard has room for either a 320GB or 500GB hard disk for storage.
It also makes room for an HDMI video output, one USB3 port, one regular USB, SD and MicroSD card slots and Intel WiDi wireless display technology. Naturally it also includes Beats audio, although whether this is enough to sell you an £700 hybrid laptop remains to be seen.
HP's keyboards have been decent in the past, and from what we could tell during our short time with the Split X2 it looks set to continue that trend. The Chiclet-style keys are full-size and comfortable to type on, but there's no keyboard backlight to help you write in the dark.
Although HP issn't using Gorilla Glass, the Split X2 had a smash-proof screen - indeed, the bashing it took from a set of keys certainly suggests it can withstand punishment. It doesn't have an impact on readability either, at least in HP's dark demo room. We don't know how it will look in bright sunshine.
UPDATE: We've heard from HP that the Envy Split 13 X2 will be going on sale in the UK from October onwards. Prices will start from £699 direct from the HP online store and from most major retailers. Once we get a little closer to launch we'll hopefully be able to bring you a full review.

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forums but have been reading & learning from you guys for years now ... I almost feel guilty getting all the knowledge I've collected for FREE! I decided to post because I'm presently in a dilemma over a friend's perennial garden. Perhaps 15 years ago, she planted just a couple of variegated dogwoods in her garden hoping they would be a good border planting & most optimistically provide some sense of privacy from her neighbor's backyard. She swears she only planted a couple yet now there are at least 15-20 of them! And, she wants my help to completely get rid of them. Completely. I tried to remove a few a couple years ago, bu they continue to come back (I pulled the roots out of the ground, add a herbicide and thought that would do it - but they came back). I know it is borderline sacrilegious to exterminate perfectly good shrubs/perennials (?) but she really wants to renovate her garden and go in a new direction. Since they seem to somehow multiply "at will," we are looking for a way to at the least pare down the number to a handful at best. Does anyone have any helpful advice on how to effectively get rid of these dogwoods? Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong forum - I wasn't sure of which would be correct for this kind of question and thought perennials would be an OK one to ask in. Any help is so greatly appreciated in advance - thank you all!

I know it is borderline sacrilegious to exterminate perfectly good shrubs/perennials ===>>> thats PC nonsense .. you are the keeper of your domain ... whatever pleases you. go for it ... its not like you are going to pave it.. cut to ground level .. and apply 41% full strength roundup or stumpkiller to the green band that goes around the cut part.. the cambian ... maybe 1/4 teaspoon per plant ... i have some in a mustard holder for ease of drippage ... excess volume is simply a waste.. and pollution ... check beck every month or so.. snip off any new shoots.. and again use the killer on anything green ... in most cases they should be gone by the end of summer.. on all but the most stubborn plants ... in the alternative.. start digging ... ken |

If you feel bad about killing the shrubs, dig them up and offer them free on something like Craigslist. Or, even better, make it a U-dig process, under proper supervision of course. Variegated shrub dogwoods ARE desirable plants, but I do understand the desire to revamp a garden from time to time (heck, my income depends on it!!). When they are happily and well-sited, as these obviously are, they spread by underground root suckers to form dense colonies. They are not impossible to remove manually - other types of plants are much worse - but they do require some elbow grease. Personally, I'd look at using an herbicide as a choice of last resort :-) |
Definitely post them on Craigslist or Freecycle for free. Several years back I posted a Spiraea vanhouetti and a Forsythia on Freecycle for free. By the next afternoon, a nice young man came with a truck and shovel and they were gone. I get an even faster response putting anything for free on Craigslist. I live in a suburban area though - in a rural area, there might not be as much interest. |
Freecycle/Craigslist was my first thought too... well, actually, my very first thought was "hunh, I didn't know these things spread like that. I have a hedge of five or six and they can't grow fast enough for me..." THEN I thought of Freecycle, lol. Don't feel guilty. Nothing wrong with changing a garden. If you offer them to others you will be helping them change their gardens too! Dee |

Below are the all-time best Joy Wellington poems as chosen by PoetrySoup members
View ALL Joy Wellington Poems
My dearest, darling lover, Through this electronic medium I touch and caress you with my love As you read these my words to you Feel the tenderness of my lips upon your neck The aching of my breast, molded to your chest Stronger than the miles between us, is our love Stronger than the issues that separate us, is our love The vastness and continuity that envelopes our heart I now wait with longing, my darling, and sweetheart For the day, which seems to stretch each hour of the clock When we will be one, as we should have been, so long ago I need your touch, as the river needs the water to get along I have been incomplete without you my sweetest love I thirst for your loving, as the desert longs for the rain drops I wait, impatiently my love, with baited breath Watching that clock, which I have confounded for ticking too slowly For that day, that hour, that minute, that second, when you shall be mine All mine. I love you, so much, dearest, with everything that's in me
Time has become my greatest enemy It drags on, an infernal grating on the nerve Like a broken muffler, dragging around the curve While my love and I starve for each other's company Until time surrenders, I wait my love with baited breath Watching time, which I have confounded for going by so slowly For that hour, that minute, that second, when you will be mine only When I shall pledge my love to you forever, until death For: Barbara Gorelick's contest Once Upon A "Time"
My Tears I am crying, for you, for me, for then and now. I can hear you saying, "Don't cry my love, Not for spilt milk Just talk to The Good Lord up above. My heart is full inside my breast, Each artery is swollen with stagnant pain. Tell me my love, how I make myself forget, How can we that innocence regain. I can remember diving in the Blue Lagoon in Portland, Its waters beyond blue were black. Down I went without a fear, until I started to rise, No light I could see and I thought I would never come back. Synonymous of the darkness that surrounds me now I shudder and shake in fear. Then suddenly from out of nowhere, I see you, I hear you. You care!
Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick, tock, tick, tock, goes the sound of my clock I am waiting, waiting, waiting. Waiting for time to expend Never have I known time to go so slowly Exhilarated! The subject of my tormented dreams will appear Miles separate, but wires, contaminated with the sweet whispers of our lips Fingers touch keys and memories of silk ignite the flame of passion O clock on the wall! Why extend my eagerness to be fulfilled Time! Why is it you seem to stand still, but still I am waiting, waiting, waiting My love, please fulfill?
brilliant sunshine smell of cinnamon laughter... white stones and tree trunks *Christmas Jamacia
I am so thankful, For: 1. God's love and mercies 2. Food on my table and a roof over my head 3. Friends and family 4. Health and strength 5. Being employed 6. The one I love 7. That he loves me unconditionally If you think you have nothing to be thankful for Look around you and you will see: God's blessings, supernal
O Lord God Almighty How marvelous is Thy name Thou O God sit high and look low Thou art worthy to be praised Thou sayest "I am in you" Thou sittest at the right hand of the Father In my finite mind I understand How elevated, Jesus Savior, Thou hast placed me Sitting on a man made throne High above the clouds I get a glimpse of Heaven And how condescending a God I serve For, to step down from such glory Where dwellest purity and love Holiness and beauty beyond compare Just to save a wretch like me It must be love It must be endless and abiding love It must be love far beyond any other love O Blessed Jesus, with thanks and gratitude With every cell, with every muscle Every sinew, every inch of my flesh Every organ, every bone That you have connected With such infinite wisdom I give you praise I give you glory Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen and amen Thanks for your inspiration sir.
You think you have me down pat So, I'm going to move when you say this or that Go scrub the rust from the pipes in your head Can't you remember I escaped your bed Your heart engorged with congealed blood Can only be cleared by a massive flood Don't think I'll go throw a pity party A stand I should take since you were forty I've long stop feeding babes with spoon This time, I need, myself to groom Crystal clear, stream of water This to myself I'll joyfully gather Nurturing hope, change and love Redeeming the grace, from God above So, with my new self, let me bond Need no disquiet here to stand So go! Go with your selfish greed No longer with your ache I'll seed So, with my new self let me bond Need no disquiet here to stand
High above the clouds, in the sun's glow Blue skies above, blue seas below In-between, lies millions of milky white clouds Looking like snow heaps, piled up in mounds Sitting in this iron-bird, flying in the air The wonders of God, His majesty how fair Cloud patches billowing, each with its own shape Some looking so much like the mountain's cape Men take in the air, thousands of dead weight Have we with death, a final date Can it be that we know, God's presence is there Let's not our conciseness stifle here O gracious and most mighty God I bow in awe at your majesty Each patch of land below Each piece of cloud above Speak volumes of your greatness and love O Lord my God, how great Thou art My fellow poets, whenever you should happen to be an airplane again, just take a look out the window. Look at the clouds, see how they are formed. See how they hang in suspended air. Look at the wing of the aircraft, see how it floats in the air without falling, then tell me, there is no God and he is not a great God! I challenge you!
Today, 34 years ago he made his grand entrance God placed him in my care Until the day of His appearance My heart was filled with happiness For this child that God has blessed. Just look how you have grown! You have been through happy times You have been through sad times But through it all you remain A son I am proud to call my own.

Google Adjusts WebM License
When Google announced the initial release of WebM — its collaborative drive to create a new open video format for HTML5 — there was much excitement within the Open Source community. Amid the excitement, however, was concern about the project's licensing, concern that quickly led to calls for change.
On Friday, Google announced that, in response to the community's concerns, a "small change" was made to WebM's license, restoring the "pure BSD nature" of the license as well as GPL compatibility. The change modifies the license's patent clause to reflect the GPL3 and Apache patent clauses, which separate rights to patents from rights to copyright. Under the original license, anyone bringing patent litigation against Google would have surrendered all rights granted by the license — the new language clarifies that only patent rights would be terminated, the same penalty incurred under the GPL3 and Apache licenses.
Google's Open Source Programs Manager Chris DiBona noted that in making the change, the company has avoided creating a new Open Source license, a practice which many consider harmful to Open Source in general. Additionally, Google updated other portions of the license and supporting documentation to clarify the license terms and the rights granted under it.
Justin Ryan is a Contributing Editor for Linux Journal.
Yay!! We really need this to fix the online video problem.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

4 Ways to Wear a Floral Skirt
>> 30 August 2013
I hesitate to buy bold items sometime, since I know I will not get much wear from it. I saw this floral print skirt in Banana Republic and decided to pick it up since the price was worth it even with only one wear. Ironically I found myself pulling it out to wear a few times more, discovering 4 ways to wear it. Slightly making me think its time to splurge on this Valentino one.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Maggs!
Facts about Maggs
- Breed: Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Maggs's Info...
I am housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Maggs came in to the shelter as a stray in Sept, 2012 with her sister Raggs. She is friendly and seems to be ok with other dogs and adults but we are not sure about small children or cats. Maggs is about 2 years old and up to date on shots.
Other Pets at Hancock County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maggs, a New Cumberland Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier for sale in New Cumberland, or seeking a Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in New Cumberland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New Cumberland already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a New Cumberland breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with Boxer/Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New Cumberland paves the way for another one to be saved.

Debt can become quite overwhelming and if not managed correctly, equate to quite a considerable amount. Basically the more you dig yourself into, the harder it becomes to climb back out. Sometimes it can be very difficult to make required payments and stay on top of your finances. Unexpected events occur and excess bills or costs may arise that you hadn't originally considered. Regardless of the situation, you may require to withdraw extra cash or apply for excess loans to manage necessary finances. This will evidently increase your overall debt amount and it may seem that you are only falling further and further behind.
So how do you go about getting out of debt? Have you thought about effective ways of doing so? There are numerous ways to start managing your debts in a more efficient and affordable manner. Here are 3 tips for you to consider in order to get out of debt for good!
Set a Strict Budget
Your initial plan should be the establishment of a firm, strict budget. Here you can identify all your compulsory expenses such as your mortgage, food etc., and allocate your disposable income to these necessities. The remaining amount is then identified as your discretionary income. This is your income after tax and after expenses. It is your money to spend at your discretion. What you decide to do with this amount is crucial, as this is what you will spend on favourable things like entertainment, gym memberships or socialising. You don't necessarily have to cut out all of your social life as that may make you go a little crazy, however it is important to save as much of your discretionary income as possible. This amount (or partial amount) could be allocated to your debts to help pay them off faster.
Seek Professional Advice
If your debts are spiralling out of control, the first step is to contact professionals. You should seek advice or assistance from professional services through reputable sources such as Fox Symes, this may be one of the first steps. You will be provided with a variety of alternative solutions that may, or may not be suitable. Regardless, you will be in a better situation after speaking with them.
Consolidate Your Loans
Many professional services will offer debt consolidation advice on loans and repayment methods to help steer you in the right direction and ultimately put you back on top of your finances. Consolidated loans can be quite beneficial as they roll all existing loans into one. This will provide a more controllable debt as you only manage one account, opposed to several individual ones. You potentially save money on interest as you are also only paying interest on one account, opposed to numerous accounts. This ultimately is an effective method to help you get back on your feet.
These are 3 of the most fundamental steps to help you get out of debt for good! The toughest part is making first contact, and once you do, you will be far better off log-term. Fox Symes offer a range of debt solutions services, so it is worth contacting them to find out what they can do for you and your current situation.

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Yahweh. | 1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and went into the temple of the LORD. |
2 He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz. | 2 He sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. |
3 They said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. | 3 They told him, "This is what Hezekiah says: This day is a day of distress and rebuke and disgrace, as when children come to the point of birth and there is no strength to deliver them. |
4 It may be Yahweh your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left. | 4 It may be that the LORD your God will hear all the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule the living God, and that he will rebuke him for the words the LORD your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that still survives." |
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. | 5 When King Hezekiah's officials came to Isaiah, |
6 Isaiah said to them, Thus shall you tell your master, Thus says Yahweh, Don't be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. | 6 Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master, 'This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid of what you have heard--those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. |
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear news, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land. | 7 Listen! I am going to put such a spirit in him that when he hears a certain report, he will return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.' " |
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. | 8 When the field commander heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah. |
9 When he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against you, he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying, | 9 Now Sennacherib received a report that Tirhakah, the Cushite king [of Egypt], was marching out to fight against him. So he again sent messengers to Hezekiah with this word: |
10 Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Don't let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. | 10 "Say to Hezekiah king of Judah: Do not let the god you depend on deceive you when he says, 'Jerusalem will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.' |
11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shall you be delivered? | 11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries, destroying them completely. And will you be delivered? |
