Important Information >>
By Jon Stumbras
Never enough shelf space where you want it? This little shelf is a great way to add extra storage in just about any room. It's compact—only 22-3/4-in. wide by 31-1/4-in. tall by 9-1/4-in. deep. Yet it's tall enough to accommodate three shelves of paperbacks. Hang it in your bedroom, bathroom or kitchen. This cabinet will add a touch of comfortable elegance in any room.
Floating Shelves
Cantilevered Display Shelves
Hallway Mirror
Plane your parts to final thickness after you've rough cut them to width and length. It doesn't take long because there are only about two dozen parts.

Cut rabbets along the inside edge of the cabinet sides with a dado blade. The cabinet back fits into this rabbet.
Drill shelf-pin holes before assembling the case, using a template and 5mm self-centering drill bit. The template guarantees evenly spaced holes and the self-centering bit has a built-in stop to keep you from drilling through the side.
Cut biscuit joints in the face frames. Using this simple jig allows you to safely and quickly cut accurate slots in the thin, narrow parts. The bottom face-frame rail is too narrow to hold a whole biscuit so the slot is offset. The biscuit will protrude but can be trimmed after the gluing and will be hidden by the bullnose cabinet bottom.
Clamp and glue the face frame to the case. The face frame is 1/16-in. wider than the case to allow some wiggle room during glue up in the event that the case or face frame are a little out of square.
Rout a bullnose profile for the decorative top and bottom moldings with a round-over bit. First rout one side, flip the wood over and rout again. Presto, a bullnose!
Glue and clamp the bullnose frames one corner at a time. The stepped clamping blocks shown here help pull the miters tight. Make the blocks the same thickness as your parts. First clamp the bullnose frames and clamping blocks to your bench. Then add clamps to the steps on the clamping blocks to pull the joint tight.
Insert the top panel into the bullnose frame. Glue only the leading edge so the panel can expand and contract with changes in humidity. Wood plugs hide the screws that attach the bullnose frame to the case.
Cut the cove molding with several passes on your tablesaw using an auxiliary fence set at 30 degrees. The auxiliary fence covers half of the blade, producing only the half arc needed for this cove.
Rip the cove, ogee and beaded moldings to final width on your tablesaw. The cove molding gets ripped once to remove the waste portion while the boards for the ogee and beaded moldings get ripped twice.
Attach the cove molding with pin nails or small brads. For additional strength, the molding is glued to the case and at the miters.
Mark each shelf for a notch before installing the back. Marking right off the cabinet is more accurate than taking a measurement. The notch permits the shelf to slightly overlap the face frame, creating a small, decorative detail.
Rout the beaded profile for the back. A specialty beading bit makes quick work of this traditional molding. Opposite rabbets on each piece create the overlapping shiplapped joinery for the back panels.
Screw the back panels in place. Gluing the outer two panels along the case sides and 1 in. around the corner adds rigidity to the case. The center three panels, attached with screws, are free to move with seasonal changes in humidity.
Hang the cabinet on the wall using a two- part beveled cleat. One part is screwed to the case and one part is screwed to the wall. Attach the wall cleat to at least one stud and add a couple of wall anchors for extra strength. The cabinet hangs flush against the wall with both cleats hidden from view.

PAIGE's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Meet precious Paige. Paige's mommy was rescued from high kill Moreno Valley shelter expecting puppies. Paige is a strong baby girl, is healthy, happy and so precious. Momma Paisley is a shihtzu mix. Paige's fur is soft, but not shih like and we do not know what daddy was. We just know she has personality plus and is just precious. She is doing great with potty training with her foster siblings. She LOVES to play outside, play with her toys, or sit your lap. She has personality PLUS!!!! Paige has had three set of vaccines, has been microchipped and wormed.
We require an application, home check, contract, spay/neuter or deposit (if too young for spay/neuter at time of adoption) and adoption donation. PAIGE 's adoption donation is $300.00 plus $150 spay deposit that is kept until proof of spay at 6 months.
To meet PAIGE, please go to our website, www.BFFK9Rescue.org to the adopt page to learn more about our adoption process, policies and to download or complete an online application. Please complete online application (make sure you answer all questions and get sent confirmation on screen) or email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Other Pets at BFF K9 Rescue- Utah Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
PAIGE, a Salt Lake City Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon for sale in Salt Lake City, or seeking a Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon puppy from a breeder in Salt Lake City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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 Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon breeders who help with Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Salt Lake City paves the way for another one to be saved.

I wrote this for a class during the Fall 2010 semester.
To say that "language" per se has been the most important part of my life thus far would be a ridiculous and "undergraduate" way to start a paper with the general topic of language and social meaning. However, considering that this is my first ever graduate level paper I will start with that exact notion and see what happens! Our class has thus far agreed that language is a "terministic screen" (Burke,1966), or a "thematic structure" (Deetz,1992), or some other clever word play which simply states that language is like a contact lens that we never take off which affects how we see the world. I have realized that despite all the articles and books on earth, I will never truly realize what language means to anyone else except to me. I might get a good idea, but I will never truly understand how anyone else sees it just like no one will ever truly understand how I see it. However, I am optimistic that we can all learn to understand how it affects us together and more importantly, to understand the fact that language is socially constructed (Berger and Luckman, 1966). If more people realized this, it would help us to understand each other's different perspectives. So the question that has been nagging at me so far during this course is: Can the realization of languages' impact on our perspectives of the world help us to better understand other cultures?
According to linguists and my notes from the first day of class, language is the use of symbols and rules to manage meanings. A meaning is "what we get out of" a symbol. That definition works, but fails to cover the breadth and influence that language has on us all. Or on me, at least. I believe (whether correctly or not) that I am somewhat in the minority because I have thought about language consciously throughout my life more than most people I know. Even before my family moved from the Balkans to Germany and my perspective of language was thrown upside down forever, I had a stuttering issue as a child which prohibited me from being able to communicate like the other kids. This caused me to have fears and insecurities related to language use at a very young age and to think about it a lot. My conscious thinking about language has never really stopped. After a few years in Germany my family moved to America and once again I had to force myself to learn a new language. Then after another few years, we moved from a poor Covington, KY neighborhood to the middle class Villa Hills, KY area and I realized again that what I had learned in the Covington school district did not really apply in this new environment. Finally, I started my career at NKU and started studying communication as an undergraduate and haven't looked back yet. My background with language is relevant because it is the reason that I still am so interested in this topic, it is the reason that I love to travel and to be challenged by different perspectives and different ways of looking at things, and it is the reason that I have a desire to take a closer look at whether or not people's realizations of how language is constructed would help them to assimilate better to new environments. I also wonder if it would have helped me in the past. So, is a resistance to the social construction of language by ordinary people a futile one or is it possible? If it's possible, would this realization help those people to better understand other perspectives? First, a background on social construction as I see it.
The idea of language being socially constructed and that all knowledge is socially constructed has slowly become more widely accepted among linguists. One of the foundations for this notion came from sociologists Berger and Luckman (1966) and their book The Social Construction of Reality. My take away from this work is that all knowledge is the result of shared meanings which start simply as decisions of "what is more preferable" and eventually become institutionalized and habitualized as a result of being passed down from generation to generation. Eventually, the meaning which someone originally created by choosing a distinction becomes a "reality" and we forget that this reality was actually created by humans. Berger and Luckman (1966) tell us that not only do we institutionalize things, but we also try to maintain those things and to make them fit our current worlds. Unfortunately, this attempt at maintenance often creates a "Frankenstein" effect in that we create this powerful structure (language) and try to maintain it but cant and it ends up maintaining us because we submit to its power and feel that we have lost control over it.
The first few times when I experienced a new culture I expected everyone to act "normally" but they acted totally weird according to my perspectives at those times. I know now that to them, I was the weird one and they were the normal ones because we had a different set of socially constructed realities as our methods of judging what was normal. For example, when I first came to America I was totally freaked out by not having to walk to school and by having an ugly yellow bus provided just for the purpose of taking me to school. My fourth grade elementary school friends were equally freaked out that I needed an interpreter to ask the teacher to go to the restroom because "How can he not know how to ask something that simple?". Burke calls these different views of the world "patterns of experience" and "terministic screens" because every person looks at the world differently based on their past. He writes, "The method of adjustment which the organism has developed to face specific environmental conditions is subsequently applied to other environmental conditions" (Burke, 1968, p.109). Thus, how we learned to deal with things in the past is likely how we will deal with them in the future. I always walked to school in Europe, so the bus full of kids freaked me out. And my fourth grade class in Covington had no foreigners who couldn't speak English other than me so the students had nothing to compare me to.
Stanley Deetz (1992) takes this idea to another level by advocating that reality is not socially constructed but that all of our experiences are socially constructed too. "Reality" is too singular and covers only us as individuals. But individuals combine their realities to create "experiences" which are eventually taken for granted as "facts". He then tells us that objectivity and facts themselves are a joke. Who said that the scientific method is the best way to find the solution to a problem? It was a human being, and human beings are not perfect. Thus, the scientific method is not perfect. Just like the notion of the world being flat and in the center of the universe was not perfect.
In Democracy in an Age of Corporate Civilization, Deetz (1992) reminds us that most people in the world assume that it is "common sense" that words represent things. However, he says that "representational theories of language are neither very interesting or useful" (p.129). As communication scholars, for example, we know that there is nothing about the word "cow" which represents that specific farm animal. There is no intrinsic "cowness" in that animal which is represented by that word; some dude (probably an old white guy, but that's for a different paper!) simply attached those three letters to the idea of that animal at some point in the past. This is why "cow" in Bosnia means nothing, but "krava" means that same farm animal!
Too many people in our world assume that their language is an unchangeable and objective fact. They assume that the language we use is a representation, when it is actually only a distinction which was decided on a long time ago (Deetz, 1992). And when people assume this, they disregard the idea that the way which they talk may actually affect how they see the world around them and how they interact with others. And finally, many people in the world think that their reality is the only reality and as a result create conflict with other people who don't fit nicely into their own realities. One just has to look at every religious war ever or every big city in the world where homeless and disabled people get no consideration as an example of how horrible the results of such close minded thinking can be.
Despite all of these misconceptions that people have of language, there are some aspects of it which are universal. It is my hope that more people will realize that all six billion of us do have things in common and that more people will learn to understand each other's different perspectives of the world. One of those "universal truths" is the fact that there is no one language which is better than another. Some languages are much more prevalent because the users of them have conquered the world, but every language is essentially equal. In An Introduction to Language, Fromkin and Rodman (2003) remind us that every language is equally complex, that all languages are dynamic and constantly changing, that relationships between sounds and what they mean are almost always arbitrary (cow example), that there is no primitive language, that any child born anywhere on earth is capable of learning any language to which they are exposed, and that similar grammatical categories (nouns, verbs, etc.) are found in all languages. A third universal foundation of language has already been discussed; the "fact" that all languages have been constructed socially overtime as a result of the creation of shared meanings of experiences is now widely accepted. In Language and Symbolic Action, Burke (1966) says that we are "symbol-using, symbol-making, and symbol-misusing animals" (p.60) and that the one thing which separates humans from wild animals is the fact that we have language. Other animals have methods of communicating, but those methods don't come close to the complexity of our language. I will always remember Burke's example in the same text of how he witnessed a mother wren tricking the baby wren to finally leave the nest. He jokes that if birds were capable of language use through arbitrary symbols like we are, that wren would have shared this new knowledge with all other wrens by writing a dissertation on "The Use of the Principle of Leverage as an Improved Method for Unnesting Birds or Debirding a Nest" (p.57). Unfortunately for the birds, they don't have the power of language like we do.
It is quite obvious that human beings have a lot in common when it comes to our understanding of language. The problem is that most of this understanding is subliminal and that too many people incorrectly believe that everything we know is an objective reality and that questioning that reality or acknowledging other realities (other cultures) is often times a waste. Burke (1966) agrees with this conclusion by stating that man "clings to a kind of naïve verbal realism that refuses to realize the full extent of the role played by symbolicity in his notions of reality" (p.59). My personal example of experiencing different cultures is traveling between two different nations. But it is not limited to that. There are different cultures which exist everywhere. The world of the college graduate student is different from that of the homeless drunk, the world of the corporate CEO is different from that of the new intern, the world of black people in America is different from that of white people in America, and so on and so on. We know these differences exist, but too often we blame the "other" person from the other culture which is foreign to us for failing to see our perspective and for "doing things the wrong way." I believe that if more people understood that others do things differently because that is what they know and that is normal in their world, it would be much easier to respect each other's perspectives and to try and understand each other.
I have been lucky enough to have a job with an airline which has allowed me to visit many different countries. Once I realized that I should expect other perspectives in all these different places, it became much easier for me to understand the foreign cultures and relate to them. I have learned to not judge the other cultures as right or wrong, but to simply understand that they are different because their reality is completely different from my own. I have also applied this thinking to my personal relationships with others and have always tried to understand other's perspectives. As a result of my own realization, I believe that resistance is not futile when it comes to other people in the world also realizing that differences perspectives are okay and are normal. However, I think it is very hard for communication scholars to explain to others the concept of social construction without people automatically discrediting us as loons!
It seems that to most people in the world, showing them that our different viewpoints are the result of different realities is a better method than trying to tell them. I think of Dwight Conquergood (1988) and his work in the Hmog refugee camp in Thailand. He didn't go to the camp and give speeches to the aid workers about how the reality of the Hmog was different from their own western realities and how if they really wanted to help the Hmog, they had to accept the Hmog reality as true. Instead, he showed both the Hmog and the aid workers that two different cultures could successfully communicate though the theatrical shows which he organized. The Hmog understood the theatre and trusted the characters in it and decided to give the western methods a try. Resistance to the social construction of language is certainly hard and takes a lot of work and creativity. But as Conquergood (1988) proves, it is not futile.

Please allow me to touch on my faith, my place of worship. Jesus insists that religions all come together (Christian unity) someday. I believe the bridge to make that happen is education and knowledge, by better understanding each other. I am a cradle Catholic (means all my life). I am a member of St. Marys Parish in Winona. Father Jim Berning is our priest. He surely has a spiritual way about himself to call us into the heart of our beliefs as Catholics. He seems to work tirelessly to gather us up into the flock God put him in charge of. Father Berning says as a priest he gives us 100 percent. He encourages us to give 100 percent back as well as his parishioners. Im not talking about money at this point, however its needed to meet the parish needs. The 100 percent Im speaking about is the goal we all need to work toward giving ourselves lovingly to God and others. Im not saying we must kneel in prayer all day (it surely should be part of our day), but be open to doing Gods will for us. Take a hint from St. Theresa, the Little Flower. She just did little things but with a lot of love. Shes known for her little ways, enough to make her a saint, a doctor of the church even. Perhaps we all have a lot to learn from her. There are excellent books out about her. The Story of a Soul is one of them. Lets all try to apply her motto to our life. Do all things well out of love for Jesus. I sometimes think of that when I pack my sons lunch. I try to put a lot of love into it by packing healthy foods - always fruit and vegetables. I think that should take care of at least one of the deeds of mercy for the day. If possible Id gladly pack a lunch for all six of my children. Thats not practical, as Lynette would have to come way from Dover for hers.
These words spoken by Our Lord (in the Diary of St. Faustina) are as follow: I demand from you deeds of mercy which are to arise out of love for me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it. By this means a soul glorifies and pays a reverence to my mercy. If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain my mercy on the day of judgment.
There are so many opportunities to practice the works of mercy. They are known as the spiritual works of mercy and the corporal works of mercy. Faith without works is dead, God says. Lets all keep that in mind when we are asked to feed, clothe and shelter Gods people and comfort the imprisoned as well, those in prison or the prisoners in their own home - the handicapped, the sick, the elderly, or new mothers.
I believe were all feeling the effects from this world that seems to be turning more and more toward evil. I think especially our children are suffering the chill of such exposure. Many cannot feel the warmth of Gods love. We as parents need to reassure them that God loves them and so do we. I believe if children dont get or feel love they may very well turn to drugs or alcohol and perhaps end up in prison, quite likely not much love there either, just a number. I firmly believe in prison ministry. Jesus will ask us someday I was in prison, did you comfort me?
I thank those who encourage me. Please join with me in praying for church unity, that we may be one as Jesus desires.
I ask Gods blessings upon each one of you.

Cross-border commerce and the 2010 Olympics
As Vancouver's 2010 Winter Olympics heads into the second phase of its race to the deadline of Feb. 12, 2010, financing is dicey thanks to the world's economic crash and the role played by hedge funds in financing for the Olympics. Sponsors are looking at their hole cards, and the City of Vancouver has loaned $100 million (more) to the Games. South of the border, business interests are hoping that Phase 2 has more for them than did Phase 1.
That initial phase, the major construction and infrastructure contracts, was held close to the Canadian chest; Northwest Washington businesses gained only a tiny fraction of the contracts on offer. Only half-a-dozen Seattle-area firms signed contracts, and nearly all the work was for consulting. 4Culture, the Seattle non-profit, was consultant on public art for the speed-skating oval and the Olympic Village, and Sparling is providing the audio for the Vancouver Convention Center.
In the next phase, and in the Games itself, there is greater hope for a slice of the Olympic pie. Contracts will be smaller, largely for services, and Olympics sponsors are shopping south of the Peace Arch. Brian Krieger, director of the 2010 Commerce Centre for the 2010 Olympics, recently urged a group of Bellingham-area business leaders to get into the bidding game for the 2,000 contracts for services and supplies that remain to be let, totaling some $1 billion. "There is no border," in terms of procurement, he noted, adding that only 72 Washington businesses are listed on an Olympics database of 3,400 companies.
Small businesses in Northwest Washington do look north, but largely to see how they can attract Canadians south of the border. The Olympics calls for a new way of thinking, but some of the same trade barriers are present for the Olympics, as with the traditional business model.
When business people in the "far northwest" corner talk about dealing with Canada, the discussion always starts with two barriers they cannot control: the currency exchange rate and the Peace Arch border crossing.
A strong U.S. dollar makes American offerings less attractive to Canadians, and a clogged border is bad news for everyone. The dollar, as of Monday, was at $1.23 to the Canadian dollar, after a year of rapid fluctuation that saw it at par only weeks ago.
When it comes to planning for the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the event is too distant to worry about the currency rate, but there is plenty of concern about the border, which is presently a maze of construction, detours, and temporary facilities.
February border traffic is normally much slower than summer crossings; in February 2008, 474,791 vehicles crossed at Blaine, compared to 708,078 in August 2008. But the Olympics will approach summertime pressure for the Winter Games Feb. 12-28 and Paralympics March 12-21. Attendance estimates vary widely; a million people attended the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy. The Whatcom County Council of Governments estimates that 450,000 spectators are expected for the two events and an estimated 175,000 will drive north into Canada on the I-5 freeway.
The good news is that the border should soon get better — much better — on the Canadian side. A huge remodel of the Canadian entry port is scheduled to be complete by fall 2009, well in time for the Olympics.
Southbound, drivers entering the United States will face temporary entry stations, although construction on I-5 lanes should be completed by October 2009. The Peace Arch crossing is being rebuilt to handle 10 lanes, but not all will be complete by Olympics' time, according to the General Services Administration, and at least two portables will be installed. Extra border guards are promised, and everyone is hoping to escape security incidents like those that have clogged the border intermittently since 2001.
Countering the bad news of construction delays is the good news that new identity technology will be well tested by 2010, and should speed the entry process. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol announced Tuesday that its new Radio Frequency Identification program (RFID) is operational at both the Peace Arch and Pacific Crossings at Blaine, along with two ports of entry in Nogales, Ariz. The RFID allows travelers with electronic-chip cards to proceed more swiftly, much as NEXUS cards now allow fast-lane service. Washington's enhanced driver's license (35,000 have been issued) and a passport card issued by the State Department (523,000 have been issued) qualify for the RFID program. Canada is reportedly looking at similar enhanced cards.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
A plant family of the order Eucommiales, subclass Hamamelidae, class Magnoliopsida (some botanists have classified this in the order Hamamelidales or Urticales). Eucomia is an elmlike tree of central and eastern China. Leaves are alternate; deciduous flowers are solitary and unisexual and lack petals and sepals. The male flowers have 6 to 10 stamens and female flowers have one ovary of two carpels, one of which aborts during development so the fruit (a dry, winged structure) contains only one seed. The latex is a source of RUBBER. Tochu tea is an aqueous extract of Eucommia ulmoides leaves and a popular beverage in Japan. (Mutat Res 1997 Jan 15;388(1):7-20).
A dual inhibitor of both cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways. It exerts an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the formation of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The drug also enhances pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction and has a protective effect after myocardial ischemia.
Thyroid Extract, Desiccated
A dehydrated extract of thyroid glands. After the removal of fat and connective tissue, the extract is dried or lyophilized to yield a yellowish to buff-colored amorphous powder containing 0.17-0.23% of iodine.
An extract from calf blood containing inorganic salts, amino acids, polypeptides and purines, but no proteins nor antigenic substances or blood group characteristics. Its exact composition is unknown. It has been proposed as a radiation-protective agent.
A substance, extract, or preparation for diffusing or imparting an agreeable or attractive smell, especially a fluid containing fragrant natural oils extracted from flowers, woods, etc., or similar synthetic oils. (Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed)

The all-new Chevrolet Spin - The full six-seater sub-compact (B-segment in Thailand) MPV (Multipurpose Vehicle) designed to offer space, comfort, versatility, efficiency and superior ride and handling in an edgy, contemporary and muscular package.
The direction was to create and develop a vehicle with muscular lines and presence with modern and expressive proportions. The result is a vehicle that has an imposing stance with unique proportions, personality and visual appeal
A high belt-line and impressive side-lines make the Chevrolet Spin look bigger than it is, in addition to providing a touch of ruggedness. And the muscular lines also help maximize the vehicle's aerodynamics. Thicker metal sheets are used to enhance quality, safety and robustness.
Chevrolet Spin 6 seats serve all applications with a large passenger seat 6 with comfort and flexibility for all passengers in a compact environment and the seats are arranged 'theatre style' to provide all occupants with better all-round view and enhance a sense of roominess. The high driving position also provides the driver with better visibility while reducing fatigue.
The Spin has a cargo capacity of 162 liters (six-seater configuration), which increases to 864 liters with the rear-most seats folded and goes up to 1,608 liters with all seats folded.
The Spin has 23 configurable seating positions and features 32 storage spaces. It features Chevrolet's famous 'dual-cockpit' dashboard with two-tone trims to provide a premium feel. A touch of contemporary sportiness is provided by a digital speedometer, flanked by an analog tachometer and switches finished in silver and chrome accents. The instruments binnacle also comes with a special font and ice-blue illumination
Reduction of NVH inside the cabin is achieved via generous use of sound-deadening technology and materials that impair NVH from passing from one part of the vehicle to another. This isolates the interior from engine, road and outside noise and vibrations, providing occupants with a quiet and refined interior.
The suspension has been tuned to provide best-in-segment ride and handling – the Spin is pliant and comfortable in city driving and stable when cruising at highway speeds. The handling has been tuned to offer the driver with a responsive control without sacrificing passenger comfort.
The Spin comes with a six-speed automatic transmission with driver shift control – a segment first. Ratios for the transmission have been optimized to match the power characteristics of the engine to give the best performance and fuel economy.
The Spin comes with standard features including :

The images shown here are only a general guide to the vehicle range. All the features and specifications may vary by different carline and trim.

The transparency techs at Window Genie carry out a wide range of home-beautifying services, including power washing. Trained professionals maintain residential windows' shimmering translucence with a meticulous three-step cleaning process, or tint windows or diva fish's aquariums to reduce glare and heat buildup. Uniformed specialists arrive at abodes equipped to dredge grime from gutters or to pressure wash walls and decks, eliminating "Steve Urkel for President" posters.
Licensed and insured carpet-cleaning technicians from Carpet Savers have been restoring sullied floor coverings since 1974. Cleaners sweep whispering vacuums across threads to devour dust before cleansing fibers of lingering dirt and allergens. Drying fans then spin a breeze over carpets to fluff strands faster than the traditional methods of air-drying or yelling. Carpet Savers' schedule of available appointment times spans 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to fit a variety of schedules.
Blistering-hot water steams from the mouth of commercial carpet cleaners as the crew at New Horizon In Home Services obliterates bacteria, allergens, and stains. Combining more than 30 years of experience, technicians use this hot-water extraction method in tandem with nontoxic cleaners while cleaning upholstery, carpets, and mattresses in order to minimize their chemical footprint. The team applies the same conservative, effective cleaning philosophy through each of its pressure-washing, floodwater-removal, and maid services.
Ian and Ann Marie Kelley, owners of CitruSolution Carpet Cleaning, and their technicians purge carpets and upholstery with a dry cleaning fluid process that removes residues, odors, and dirt. After they extract loose particles with a Lindhaus vacuum, they don a 5-gallon backpack sprayer full of their exclusive citrus-based solution that they distribute over carpets in a fine mist. This concoction utilizes the cleaning powers of lemon, orange, and grapefruit to repel stains without harming children or pets. Once rugs have been thoroughly doused, they use a Dirt Napper system to scrub carpets and capture ground-in debris. They finish by vacuuming a second time to dry out the moistened fibers and prevent odors from forming.

As you take off for a long-awaited summer vacation, you may want to know how to sublet your apartment.
Renting out your place is a great way to shoulder costs and, in some cases, meet new folks. But the subletting process can be daunting -- and in some jurisdictions, it may even be unlawful, depending on the circumstances.
Thankfully, there are certain steps you can take for a smooth(er) subletting process. Here are five steps you'll want to consider:
- Make sure it's legal to sublet. Before all else, make sure short-term leases are legal in your area. In New York City, for example, it's illegal to rent out a single-family home, apartment, or room for less than 30 days if you aren't living there. Other cities and states have similar restrictions. Violating such laws may result in hefty fines, so be sure to check your local laws before you list your casa on Craigslist or Airbnb.
- Ask your landlord for permission. Micro-sublets can potentially jeopardize your lease. That's because most rental agreements include a clause that limits your ability to sublet or have guests stay for long periods of time without your landlord's approval. So check your lease and get written consent from your landlord saying it's OK to sublet your apartment.
- Find a trustworthy tenant. At the end of the day, the subtenant isn't responsible to your landlord. You still are. So choose your subtenant wisely! You'll be liable for any nonsense that goes on while you're gone. You may want try to look for a subtenant through reliable friends and/or family. If you plan on using Craigslist or Airbnb, try to interview potential candidates -- perhaps via a service like Skype for out-of-towners -- and consider getting references. It might not hurt to take a peek at his or her Facebook profile, either.
- Put your sublease agreement in writing. The sublease agreement is between you (the original tenant) and the subtenant. The subtenant pays you rent and is covered by the same lease terms you agreed to. As for the exact wording of these agreements, your local library will likely carry titles that include examples of subleases; you can also find a variety of sublease agreement templates for purchase online that are tailored to your state.
- Get a security deposit. When you're making sublet agreements, especially for short-term leases, there's a very real possibility that potential subtenants will flake on you. Sometimes the ol' virtual handshake isn't enough -- even after you become Facebook friends. To make sure your subletters keep their word, seal the deal by requiring a security deposit. It's also a good way to ensure the subtenants stay on their best behavior. It'll help cover any maintenance or repairs that need to be performed while you're subletting.
Need more help?
Subletting your apartment has a certain legal art to it. Because of the legal implications involved, you'll want to be very careful in how you word your sublease agreement. That's where an experienced landlord-tenant attorney can come in handy.
If you're using a template for your agreement, another option is to sign up for a prepaid legal plan. Some plans, like those offered by LegalStreet, include attorney contract reviews (up to 10 pages) at no extra charge. LegalStreet plans also include unlimited phone consultations with licensed lawyers in your area, in case you have questions about your sublease, or any other legal issue that may arise.
(Disclosure: LegalStreet and FindLaw.com are owned by the same company. FindLaw.com also has a business relationship with U.S. Legal Forms, which offers template legal forms for purchase.)

It's Time to Start Bitching About the Golden Globes Nominations Again
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 13, 2012 | Comments (4)The road of awards season is a long one to travel – one full of shameless politicking and indulgent self-congratulations – and today marks the first big stop on this arduous journey: the announcement of the nominations for the Golden Globes. Every year the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announces its nominees, every year film fans all over the world complain about how all of their favorites got left out, and every year even those in charge of the voting process still scratch their heads as to why all of their awards are still split along the lines of comedy and drama. Who knows? It's tradition! Below are the nominations for feature films. Now is your chance to pore over them and begin to ask all of the important questions like: If ParaNorman was the best animated movie of the year, why does it seem like it's the only one that didn't get nominated? How can The Silver Linings Playbook get so much representation in the comedy section of the awards, while David O. Russell gets locked out of the Best Director category? And, perhaps most importantly, who in the heck suddenly decided that Salmon Fishing in the Yemen was a good movie? If you wish to contact the HFPA with these questions directly, or perhaps see who they chose to nominate in their television categories, head on over to their official site and get it done. For everyone else, enjoy the comfort of being able to stay right here on FSR. […]
Ricky Gervais in Secret Parisian Meetings About Returning to Host The Golden Globes
Movie News By Nathan Adams on November 3, 2011 | Comments (1)I know that, in this age of the Internet and the 24/7 news cycle, it's sometimes hard to remember things that happened even a few days ago. But try to think back all the way to last year's Golden Globes Awards. They were hosted by comedian Ricky Gervais, and a lot of people thought that he was too mean in the digs that he took at the celebrities in attendance. Then, after the ceremony, the Internet stirred up a bit of a controversy when quote from HFPA President Philip Berk got out that succinctly said, "He definitely crossed the line." Before you knew it, false Internet drama led to a war of words between Gervais and Berk, or at least a public negotiation. Gervais claimed that, despite Berk's comments, he had already been invited back for next year but, "I don't think I should. I don't know what I could do better. I certainly couldn't get more press for them, that's for sure. You know me. Two seasons is enough." Berk then countered Gervais's counter by saying that he had not invited Gervais back, or more specifically, "There is no truth to this rumor. We have not asked him to come back. Nice try, Ricky." But now reports are coming out that Gervais has been breaking bread in Paris with Senior VP of Specials at NBC Douglas Vaughn and current HFPA President Aida Takla-O'Reilly about coming back and hosting again for this year. The Hollywood Reporter is saying that these […]
Boiling Point: Ricky Gervais & The Golden Globes
Boiling Point By Robert Fure on January 18, 2011 | Comments (6)To get more hits on this article, I considered calling it "Ricky Gervais & The Golden Globes, Sandra Bullock nude, Ryan Reynolds break up, chicken fight." But we're above that sort of stuff here at FSR, or at least that's what I'm told when all my work gets edited down. Anyway, some of you reading this may care about awards shows. If that's you, then you probably watched the Golden Globes on Sunday and I feel bad for you because why do you care about awards shows? Did you win your office pool? Nice/Better luck next time. So if you watched the show, or just read about it later, you know that comedian Ricky Gervais is catching some heat over his presentation. Apparently a few celebrities and some Hollywood Foreign Press members (who put on the show) thought that his jokes and barbs crossed a line, proving they don't know who Ricky Gervais is.

Tom and Julie Kopf are the owners of Sky Lodge. They purchased the Lodge in 2007 and spent two years renovating the Lodge and turning it into a place where people can come and find a real retreat. Almost every aspect of the Lodge was made over in the process, from the Tower to the hand-crafted beds, created by Tom. They live in the Bristol Hills where they have raised their twins, Becky and Jimmy and are now raising their two Maltese pups.
Julie Kopf purchased this lodge in 2007
There is no place quite like the Lodge. An Adirondack Great Camp style Stone Lodge, the building already stands out as unique. It also has much of the original ironwork, including a huge original chestnut farm table and benches that is perfect for the family to gather around. The Lodge is a place that people should be able to relax in. It is set on private 34 acres, so is peaceful without the worries of the world. We have tried to make it as user-friendly as possible, providing a fully-equipped kitchen, and by providing linens and towels for our guests. In addition, we've created the perfect place to sit back- actually a few of them: the chairs on the deck, the huge, comfortable couches in the living room, the custom-upholstered rocking chairs by the fireplace, the chairs in the tower room, the claw foot tub in the main bath and the Jacuzzi in the master bath! Does life get any better?

Very good
food, beds, cleanliness and staff
my bill was wrong but they soon sorted it out.
Las habitaciones y baños, la vista de Beverly Hills, y en especial todo el asesoramiento, compromiso y atencion del Concierge Salomon quien hizo posible que nuestra estadia con problemas de salud y otros inconvenientes fuera igualmente maravillosa. El restaurant Cipriani excelente .
Si bien el Hotel dispone de traslado hasta 3 millas en forma gratuita, no es totalmente comoda la ubicacion y hay que usar el auto casi sin excepcion. Salvo eso es maravilloso. Un detalle menor: apenas se fue el medico pedimos una manzana en el desayunador y nos cobraron 3 dls. Despues de 5 dias de estadia y dos habitaciones podrian tener un detalle con nosotros.
Nice room with great view over Beverly Hills. Lovely staff. Excellent restaurant
I stayed for 5 days, the hotel location is just 10 minutes walk to Urth Cafe and Rodeo DR in beverly hills, on the otherside of the hotel u can find CVS and supermarket, ATM and all what u need. The hotel rooms are big and always clean, TV channels is good, nice balcony and view is just amazing. I tried the hotel on last minute and the staff was amazing and cooked me a very nice pasta. The concierge Mr. Sulimien was amazing, he got me the Lakers game and offered me very nice program.
A bit noisy as u can sometimes hear the other rooms.
Luxury hotel with fabulous rooms. Very comfortable with amazing views over Beverly Hills. Perfect location, really lovely staff and of course splendid restaurant.
Everything. Food was great . Coffee was amazing. Courtesy car was a blessing. Entire staff were so attentive. Would recommend to everyone one.
Towels could use some softener.
Friendly staff Nice deco of room
Slow wifi Didn't tell us about the complimentary house car
Equal or better than 5 stars managed hotel. Simple reason is you feel the comfort and good personal attendance on your requests.
I was welcomed by the staff and that was nice, given a drink and was explained about all facilities, really nice.
I was not informed about 38 USD or overnight parking, and my wife got sick so we had to stay one more night and they woul not give me the same rate, one night cost more than 2, very pricy hotel.
Good location Polite staff
Poor concierge staff No soundproof rooms
Hospitality of staff was awesome.
Nothing. Great value for the price paod
The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and very old Hollywood. Service and staff were impeccable. Food from Cipriani was amazing.
The prices were a bit steep.
Location is in a good walking distance to most sights in Beverly Hills. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, maid service was perfect and rooms very clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. Had in-room dining on our first night which was pretty good.
Parking not included, Wifi was a bit slow
The calm environment..The interior design.. The staff where very helpful and friendly.
The interior design of the hotel is lovely...The staff are very friendly and the location very convenient.
The vanilla meringue cake. Everyone of the staff we came in contact with was so nice and friendly. Room was clean and so comfortable with a great view on the 7th floor. We will return.
One dinner dish wasn't that tasty.
I loved the hotel. It is unique (elegant, understated with a feeling of glamour at the same time). The service was superb.
Location and staff
Uncomfortable bed .. Small room
Great hotel with Italian feeling! Upon Check-In we were greeted with a glas of Bellini. Rooms are very nice and offer beautiful view of L.A. Location is perfect!
The staff were friendly and food was good at the hotel. Pool was nice too.
Check in was not smooth at all, the guy at the reception did not know what he was doing. My friends had lots of trouble when they wanted to check out as the hotel withdrew money from their card that was not supposed to be withdrawn and they did the same to me! They took way more than we owe them and even after check out and us going home my card was charged and so was my friends card by the hotel!. Hotel is too noisy in the morning which made it so hard to get some sleep, we kept hearing bumps and thumps that woke us up and lasted almost all day! Very uncomfortable. I would not stay in Mr. C again nor would I recommend it to anyone.
Good location and view Very clean Friendly staff Luxury I would like to thank Mr. Soliman for his help and effort (the best concierge I ever deal with ) Thank u
No multiple restaurants only one in the hotel ! Valet parking expensive 39 per day
The hotel is not a 5 star hotel, but a 4 star. The room was not ready upon our arrival, eventhough it was 3 pm and they told us it will Take a half an hour to be ready. We went in the city and returned at 9 pm and the room was still not ready. They offered us an other room that was more expensive that we did not accept. Therefore we had to wait 20 more minutes. When we booked the room the parking was free of charge but when we checked-out we were charged 40 $ per night. Old furniture, no slippers and only one bathrobe in the room. We found an empty wine bottle in the minibar and we called house keeping to replace it. We had the unpleasent surprinse to see it charged on our bill. Also the location is not ideal.

I'm releasing a few Monarchs today. So If you come across a Monarch with a very flat accent it may be mine. |

Tell them to fly east - I haven't seen a monarch all year! Sherry |
The snow is gone in Madison, and the lawns are all greened up, but our milkweed has yet to make an appearance. I am thinking that we might be ready for monarch visitors around June 1, or better yet, June 10. |

I have a tiny green shoot on one of my A. incarnatas. I see lots of what appear to be volunteer Milkweed seedlings in my front beds as well:) |

We are ready for the Monarchs here, but they haven't come through--unless they are sneaking through at night. I am seeing lots of milkweed, including finding viridis growing wild along the right-of-ways. I stop to check for eggs! A friend in Seminole Oklahoma found eggs this past week. She actually got to watch the mama lay the eggs. She is a wild flower dealer, so she has lots of flats of milkweed. Bet she doesn't sell those plants with the eggs! Sandy |
Yesterday the city planted a new hybrid elm sapling near our front yard, to replace the Norway maple that was taken down by a wind-storm last year. Today, the elm branches are covered with freezing rain. No sign of milkweed yet, but the purple coneflowers are beginning to develop clumps of leaves. |
- Posted by Leafhead 4b WI (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Fri, May 3, 13 at 12:05
Good replacement for another boring maple... I just planted a 10' Tulip Poplar in the front yard. Hoping to get a Tiger ELF or two this year. I saw no Eastern Tigers last year because of the drought. They really came to the A. incarnatas the year before. My next target tree is hackberry. |
No milkweed up yet, here in Madison. However, our violets are blooming, and the columbine is getting close. Yesterday, I saw digger bees emerge from their ground nests, and head over to the violet patch. |

The bumblebees are out too:) |

Nothing flying here, well at least when i'm home. If it were'nt for the Monarchs we raised we wouldn't be seeing any butterfly activity here in the deep south. I am suprised to not have seen a BST on my fennel yet. The Gulf frits normally appear in June. |

I saw f few Mustard Whites the other day... My milkweeds are just poking up, too. |

The perpetrators behind the attack of minority community should be brought to justice and be punished under the penal court, former chief justice ABM Khairul Haque said today.
On the other hand, Prof Mizanur Rahman, National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) chairman, said the government must take stern action against the person responsible for the attacks.
The former chief justice and the NHRC chief made the comments while talking to reporters during a meeting of the Law Commission's recommendation for enacting a law against discrimination of people at the Judicial Administration Training Institute in the capital.
The demands came when the minority community was facing attacks by the activists of BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami in different districts of the country including Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon, Panchagarh and Jessore during pre-polls and post-polls violence.
The opposition men torched, vandalised and looted houses, businesses establishments and shops of the Hindu community in the districts during polls violence.
After forty-two years of independence, it is very unfortunate that minority people are being tortured in the country, said the former chief justice.
"As a senior citizen, I feel ashamed at this type of violence," he added.
Those who are committing such attacks on the minority people can not have any political identity, Haque said adding that the government had to apply full effort to resist such evil force who are attacking the minority people.
During polls violence, a presiding officer was killed, the houses and properties of the minority people have been damaged and many of them trying to leave the country, Mizanur added.
"The government is giving assurance to take action against the criminals but it is failing to proof his competence," Rahman added.

To gain this distinction the team scored 1,000 points and outscored nine teams. It is the teams first year competing.
The team did not even have to hear their name announced to know they were they winner.
Freshman Misty Jackson said the cadets had added up their scores and knew they had 1,000 points before the winners were announced.
"We were kind of surprised we got 1,000," junior Matt Smith said.
When it was announced that the second-place team had 998 points, the BCHS team shooters knew they had taken first.
Each tournament has multiple matches. Smith said the team did not do very well in the first three matches, but excelled from there.
"I can't even imagine how good we are going to be next year," Smith said.
Ingle said the BCHS team was up against schools that had teams for the past 30 years.
Sophomore Miricle peels said she was "completely nervous" because this was her first time competeing.
Jackson said many of the other cadets competing were older than her and had been competing for a lot longer. Jackson actually scored the most points of the tournament, finishing with a 262 out of 300 score. Ingle said the competition does not give an individual award for the top shooter at the event.
"I'm going to try to get that changed for next year," Ingle said.
Junior student Matt Smith was recognized for having the highest season score in the prone position.
Aside from when the .177 -pellet compressed air rifles were going off the competition was very quiet. Each cadet worked to keep their heart rate down and their aim steady.
"There are a lot of people and everybody's watching you," Smith said. "It makes you kind of nervous."
In preparation for the event, cadets worked on controlling their breathing. They also tried to eat a healthy breakfast and listened to advice from Ingle.
This is the program's first year to have an organized team. Cadets were excited about the addition to the JROTC program.
"Since I have a lot of experience with guns ... I was pretty excited," Jackson said.
Although not a Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association, rifle shooting is an Olympic sport. The BCHS rifle team members plan to participate in the Junior Olympic trials next month.

They are absolutely beautiful and perfect! We were able to put hotel and website information on the front and the church directions on the back. The colors and design are stunning. Highly recommended!!

I usually spend some time discussing meditation with several of my Psychology classes, and the more interested students often ask for additional information (readings, audio tapes, etc.). I usually reply that there are a number of good resources available, but I finally found one that I can enthusiastically recommend without reservation. Sharon Salzberg's book describes everything from meditation (breathing, walking, body scanning, even drinking tea) to mindfulness (emotions, dealing with thoughts and feelings via recognition, acceptance, investigation and nonidentification) to loving-kindness meditation (cultivating compassion and true happiness, paying attention to ourselves and others with interest and care). She introduces a 28-day guided program of 20 minute meditation sessions. There is an extended discussion of the benefits of meditation. The book also comes with a CD with four guided meditations, which is among the best I've listened to. The book is what I've come to... read more
Sharon's writing in this book is just like her teaching style and though I'm not finished with the book, I can tell this will give me yet another layer of understanding to my practice.
I want to comment on the Kindle format, however. When it starts, you're allegedly 7% of the way through the book. Often there's one letter on a line (the first line of a chapter) and there are references to page numbers throughout the writing, which are not findable on the Kindle. There are also a number of instances where the left margin is an inch or two from the left side of the frame. I've read many books on Kindle and this one seems to have the strangest formatting problems.
For anyone who thinks they just can't sit still or quiet their mind long enough to meditate, think again! This book and its companion CD, with easy to follow meditations, is a fool proof guide. With everything from personal anecdotes to scientific studies, Real Happiness provides easy access to a practice that doesn't require anything more than our ability to just breathe. In her signature style, Sharon explains what meditation really is, and how we can all benefit from it. Even those with life-long meditation practices will enjoy the ease of Sharon's voice and instruction.
