Release Date 09 Nov 2012 09 Apr 2013
There's no family dog strapped to the roof of his car, but political candidate Grant Cogswell has his own set of image problems, starting with the fact that he likes to dress up as a polar bear and he's currently an unemployed music critic. In Stephen Gyllenhaal's bittersweet, uplifting comedy GRASSROOTS - based on the true story of the 2001 Seattle City Council election - Cogswell becomes a mono-maniacal man of the people, rallying an unlikely posse of misfits, slackers, and square pegs to his seemingly hopeless David-and-Goliath battle against a firmly entrenched incumbent. Before the Occupy Movement there was Grant's fervent pitch to the Emerald City's downtrodden hipsters and idealists - to stand up for what they believe in, to take back their city government, to build a beautiful monorail that would carry them into the future, to be part of something bigger than themselves. GRASSROOTS offers an exhilarating, hilarious, bumpy ride on the political train just when we need it most, because at bottom what drives this eccentric optimist is his belief that what he is doing actually matters. Based on the book "Zioncheck for President," written by Grant Cogswell's reluctant campaign manager Phil Campbell, GRASSROOTS stars Jason Biggs as Phil and Joel David Moore as Grant. Seattle plays itself, and the city has never looked dreamier, more beautiful, or more ripe for revolt. With Lauren Ambrose, Cedric the Entertainer, Cobie Smulders, Tom Arnold, Christopher McDonald, DC Pierson, Emily Bergl.

GRASSROOTS (USA/15/98mins)
Directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal. Starring Jason Biggs, Joel David Moore, Lauren Ambrose, Christopher McDonald, Cedric The Entertainer, Tom Arnold.
THE PLOT: Seattle, 2011, and brave music critic Grant Cogswell (Moore) has decided it's time to run for local office – heck, if Screaming Lord Sutch can do it, why can't he? And the ticket Grant is running on is, hey, when is this city finally going to have the kind of all-encompassing monorail it was promised? Helping run this, yep, grassroots campaign is another failed journalist, Phil Campbell (Biggs), the duo making surprisingly good headway as the media picks up on the unlikely people's hero. It doesn't help that the incumbent (Cedric) is one of the few sitting black politicians around. Still, Cogswell and Campbell decide that their amicable opponent is the Mayor Quimby of their story…
THE VERDICT: Based on the book Zioncheck For President (campaign chief Campbell's insider account of this bizarre true-life event), pretty much like its protagonist, Grassroots promises much and delivers bugger all. Gyllenhaal (pop to Jake and Maggie, and a long-time filmmaker) had hoped to motivate America's young into political action by touring Grassroots around college campuses there (his second wife, and co-producer here, Kathleen Man, by his side), but it's unlikely this film inspired much beyond the occasional chuckle. And a few questions about Jake during the post-screening Q&A. It's Milk without the calcium. It's Dude, Where's My Monorails, only not as stoner silly as that sounds. Go watch Marge Vs. The Monorail instead. RATING: 2/5Review by P Byrne
its heart warming, funny and nevertheless provides an important message. The meaning of what Grassroots is all about, is delivered in this movie.
Although it only glosses the mechanics of local politics, it exudes an endearingly scruffy charm
Grassroots is a movie where bad ideas, because they're the ones championed by the "correct" side, are king. It never acknowledges that sometimes idealism is just another kind of manipulation.
Go see it, its heart warming, funny and nevertheless provides an important message. The meaning of what Grassroots is all about, is delivered in this movie.
You don't have to look too far these days to notice films abounding with jobless and financially struggling characters, in stark contrast to the recession-proof movies they inhabit. Top that off with emerging election year movies, and enter Grassroots.
Nicely timed to co-incide with the US Presidential election earlier this week, Grassroots takes a look at the no-holds-barred approach taken in US politics - but on a much smaller scale. Inspired by true events, the film follows recently fired writer Phil (Jason Biggs) as he becomes the campaign manager for the outspoken Grant (Joel David Moore). Grant has big plans for Seattle and wants to get on the city council to extend the one-stop monorail into a citywide network. A rival politician (Cedric The Entertainer) stands in his way - and he also has to deal with the fall-out from 9/11 as well. A shaggy dog story at best, Grassroots is very much about the underdog and how people at the grassroots level can shape local politics. Perhaps some of the satire and American-centric political digs are lost in the journey across the Atlantic. The story lacks focus at times and while Moore gives a good performance, his character isn't the most likeable. Grassroots is an intelligent, decent film that doesn't try too hard to impress. Unlike most politicians...

I just learned about this "Underground Exterminator" product (please follow link below). Sounds like it could fix my garden pest problem. However, a friend tells me that if the engine is forced to run for 15-30 minutes exhausting into a garden hose, it might get damaged before the 30 minutes were up. What do you think? Many thanks in advance. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Underground Exterminator
Follow-Up Postings:
Probably not, but a large amount of backpressure could possibly cause a burnt valve so I would use one of my older vehicles. I have a old smokey jeep that would be perfect. I am going to stop and get the adaptor this afternoon, goodbye moles, I may try it on the groundhogs too since they keep eating down my garden hmmm |

Lucky you! Both our vehicles are less than two years old. DH isn't sure either and I don't want to find out the hard (expensive) way. Anyway, if you do get this adaptor and try it, let me know if it worked. I really need to get rid of those darn gluttons before my heirloom tomatoes start producing. |
Dont do it you can easily damage you catalytic converter/muffler/etc. by creating artifical backpressure. Besides that this product DOES NOT WORK. Gurantee or not my neighbor ran his old pickup for HOURS to try to get the moles and it didnt make a dent. Really thinking about it yes exhaust in an airtight space would kill a mole. Do you think the tunnels under your lawn are airtight? Not a chance. |

My grandma used to kill skunks by the exhaust of her car on the farm!! Lay out a special all enclosed trap. Skunk goes in, door shuts behind it. then hooked up the attached hose to the car!! not sure how long she ran the car though!! |
Smart necked moles will tunnel back under your car so while you're sitting there enjoying your newspaper in the car you find yourself dozing off. Moles get a kick out of being tricky little devils. |
12 years ago we had a terrible mole problem in the veggie garden after a winter of exceptionally heavy rain. Tried lots that didn't work. Finally piped the xost from my old P/U into the tunnel network which covered the garden. Let it run a long time. Well I stood there watching things and after a while didn't feel so damn very good. IN fact got sicker'n'ell. The xost drove me out of the garden - not the moles. |
You don't need to go to the trouble of hooking up your car to a varmit tunnel. Small smoke bombs are available in garden centers. I found these effective in driving out groundhogs. These will either kill the varmit in their den or drive them out their alternate entryway. Moles are an entirely different matter. They make a complex network of tunnels, but the mound of dirt is over their nest. Moles are nearly blind but cringe in bright light. They are extremely sensitive to sound and ground vibration. They hear/feel your approach long before you get to their lairs. Many years ago when I lived on a farm and our family depended on a garden. We found the most effective deterrent was the old fashioned mole trap. Its not humane nor elegant, but properly applied, it works. Locate the nest mound. Go a short distance away on the main tunnel and set the trap. Press the tunnel down to almost close the tunnel over a short distance, say 6 to 8 inches, and set the trap with the treddle on top of the collasped part of the tunnel. The trap is tripped when a mole passes through this tunnel again. If you must try engine exhaust, try a lawn mower engine, the bigger the better, maybe an old 2 cycle Lawn Boy. Don't use a motorcycle. Many motorcycle engines depend on motion through the air to cool the cylinders and heads. The air cooked ones overheat if left standing too long. |

Check Out Some of the Hottest Super Bowl 2015 Commercials
Sure, the Super Bowl will feature the best the NFL has to offer on the field, but, come on, let's be honest: you're going to watch for the commercials.

Carrie Underwood's 'Little Toy Guns' video is coming on Friday, but the superstar is letting fans take a peek early.
The Pleasant Grove Independent School District in Texarkana, Texas is hosting a pair of public community meetings.
Texarkana's 3rd annual Mardi Gras celebration is Feb. 7. The Krewe of Koinonia Mardi Gras parade and celebration will be at Front Street Festival Plaza in Downtown Texarkana. Here is the schedule of events.
The Mardi Gras Masquerade Ball is coming soon!
This is a cute video! A goat tries to get a little friendly head-butt from a horse.
The Pleasant Hill Quilting Group will present "The Secret Codes of the Underground Railroad" on February 7, at the P.J. Ahern Home Museum at 403 Laurel Street, Texarkana, Arkansas beginning at 12 p.m. Join in for a pre-program reception starting at 11 a.m. with refreshments served in the Ahern Parlor.
Carrie Underwood's 'Little Toy Guns' will remind fans of the title track from her most recent album, as well as many of Martina McBride's greatest hits. While the song isn't about domestic violence of the physical variety, it is a reminder of how sensitive young ears can be.
Texas singer-songwriter musician Kevin Fowler will be bringing his brand of honky-tonk, hard drivin' good ole' boy country to Shooters this Friday, January 30.
Chase Rice really, really wants you to vote for him. Like, really. The 'Ready, Set, Roll' hitmaker wants to be a 2015 ACM Awards New Artist of the Year finalist so bad, he's getting naked.
With the Super Bowl arriving this weekend, every corporation in the world is fighting for your attention, spending ludicrous amounts of cash on tiny advertisements for things that most people already like. The same goes for movies and the biggest sporting event in the United States is no stranger to premiering new trailers and TV spots for massively anticipated films. So, without further ado, let's all take a moment to watch the new ad for 'Minions'.
Football fans are no doubt excited for the 2015 Super Bowl. Heck, Marvel superheroes Chris Pratt and Chris Evans have a bet riding on it. But, even non-sports fans can find something to enjoy. No, we're not talking about Katy Perry's décolletage, we're talking about the Super Bowl movie trailers that will be airing during the commercial breaks. With the 2015 Super Bowl set to air on NBC this weekend, we thought now would be the perfect time to run through what we know is going to debut during the big game and what surprises could still be in store. We'll continue to update with any last minute surprises, and you can watch all the 2015 Super Bowl trailers in our video hub.

The importance of the SH3 domain of Hck in kinase regulation, substrate phosphorylation, and ligand binding has been established. However, few in vivo ligands are known for the SH3 domain of Hck. In this study, we used mass spectrometry to identify approximately 25 potential binding partners for the SH3 domain of Hck from the monocyte cell line U937. Two major interacting proteins were the actin binding proteins Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) and WASP-interacting protein (WIP). We also focused on a novel interaction between Hck and ELMO1, an 84-kDa protein that was recently identified as the mammalian ortholog of the Caenorhabditis elegans gene, ced-12. In mammalian cells, ELMO1 interacts with Dock180 as a component of the CrkII/Dock180/Rac pathway responsible for phagocytosis and cell migration. Using purified proteins, we confirmed that WASP-interacting protein and ELMO1 interact directly with the SH3 domain of Hck. We also show that Hck and ELMO1 interact in intact cells and that ELMO1 is heavily tyrosine-phosphorylated in cells that co-express Hck, suggesting that it is a substrate of Hck. The binding of ELMO1 to Hck is specifically dependent on the interaction of a polyproline motif with the SH3 domain of Hck. Our results suggest that these proteins may be novel activators/effectors of Hck.

I bought a calla a few months ago, it's in a small pot (like a 6").
Recently the leaves have started to flop over half way up the stalks nearly breaking them, so much so I have placed a tomato cage around the plant to help hold it up. What do I need to do to help my plant from doing this? Or what am I doing wrong? Do I need to transplant into a bigger pot? It's out on my patio that has full sun, also it's sitting in a larger pot full of water. Any advise would be much appreciated! Thanks so much! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I suspect it as a rot, if it is not the White Calla (Zantedeschia aethiopica) because only Z.aethiopica can live with submerged feet and the other colored varieties such as Yellow Calla (Z.elliottiana) or Pink Calla (Z.rehmannii) and their hybrids tend to rot in this condition. It will be a bit more helpful if you could post its pics. Izhar |

The plant is showing low-light symptoms to me, how much sun it gets? what is the duration? full sun have to be at least 3 hours to make it strong, also do remember that "shade" mean bright shade as only mushrooms can survive in deep shade... The wind has taken a nasty toll of this seemingly a very healthy plant, it will quickly recover if you place it among other plants away from the route of wind.. Your setup of keeping it in a larger pot is a very good option for providing it adequate moisture. Once it recovers, you should re-pot it in a larger container. Cheers~ Izhar |
- Posted by candie1230 6B (My Page) on Mon, May 31, 10 at 2:13
I don't think it has anything to do with low light levels. This plant is in full sun from about 8:30am until about 6:30pm. It hasn't been windy at all, all week and it's as floppy as ever. Maybe the problem is too much sun? Is that even possible? The two that are flopping over in the picture weren't damaged in the wind, one hadn't even emerged when the plant fell. They just fell recently in the past few days. The wind damage happened about 1 month ago, you can see the two breaks in the stalk being held up by the two straws. It usually is amongst other plants I just moved it for the picture's sake. |
You seem to be doing everything right, the leaves are not showing any burn signs from high intensity sunlight, in my opinion last resort is to re-pot it using a fresh mix.. may be someone with more experience help you out.. |
- Posted by candie1230 6B (My Page) on Mon, May 31, 10 at 8:06
Well obviously I'm NOT doing everything right if my plant is this bad. Please someone help me! Tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it, if possible. |
- Posted by candie1230 6B (My Page) on Thu, Jun 3, 10 at 3:50
Is anyone out there??? I really could use some help!!! |

I've a floppy mini yellow calla. I know mine doesn't have rot in the tuber... but maybe yours does? Take it out gently and squeeze the bulb. If it is anything but firm (think like an apple) it has got rot. All you can do is cut the rot out and dust with cinnamon powder. I think mine is floppy from being in its second year as a potted plant. Apparently they weaken when grown only in pots. I'm just going to restart with a new bulb next year. |

"The idea of being able to leave home whenever we want without the worry and hassle of arranging a care-taker is a big draw. The maintenance-free living feature takes the worry out of the day to day maintenance our house requires. The additional features of an exercise room, community and club room are things we will use regularly. Our kids see the benefits we'll enjoy and they will not miss the burden of taking care of our property when we're gone."
"We travel several times throughout the year and will enjoy the security of leaving the Village with no cares about mail, papers, plant care, or maintenance while we are gone. I have used my snow blower and shovel very effectively over the years, but now I can let somebody else take care of that for me, and I won't miss it at all.""
"Our townhouse was feeling way too big for us so we were looking for "the next" place. The ad for Village Cooperative in our mailbox got our attention and we investigated further. It was "wow!" from then on. Everything looked perfect for us: no maintenance, manageable space, convenient access, very affordable, lock up and leave, and a ready-made community of friends."
"In 2009, John and I got the most devastating news any couple could get. John was diagnosed with Myelodisplastic Disease, for which there is no cure. He was given about 3 years to live. We started thinking about what I would do when he was gone. When we heard about Village Cooperative we decided to investigate further. What we learned convinced me that this would be a good option for me. I signed up and this proved to be all I had hoped for, except that John was not able to join me – he died on July 6th, 2012. I could not have made a better decision. The friendships I have made and the camaraderie we co-op members have is just what I needed. I also love the fact that it will be a very secure home with many wonderful amenities."

CBS 2 - Search Results
Bringing Jobs and Workers to Iowa
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28) While the goal is to bring more jobs to the state to keep Iowans here, and attract out-of-state talent as well, the answer starts with the corporations and environment thats already in Iowa.
Ken Sager from the Iowa Federation of Labor says of course the state would welcome brand new businesses, but it shouldnt at the expense of incentives to move to the Hawkeye State.
"I think we need to focus more on building organizations that currently exist in Iowa and helping entrepreneurs start businesses that will employ our people and provide for our economy, said Sager.
Iowa State University Economist Dave Swenson says money spent to help smaller businesses already here is great.
My quibble is the expenditures that go to extraordinarily wealthy firms that would have expanded nonetheless, said Swenson.
"I think it's a combination of the two that needs to occur, said Rockwell Collins Martha May. Both the supportive entrepreneurship and the growth of that high tech community.
At Rockwell, Martha says no matter how it comes, they do want more competition in the area.
"We would welcome additional high tech businesses and industries to come here, said May. It would make it easier for us to recruit."
She says when workers move to Rockwell, sometimes Iowa can be a culture shock for them and their family. Diversity Focus Chad Simmons says its what workers do when theyre away from work that can determine an economys success.
"They'll come here for work but they'll stay here if they have something greater than just again what they have at work, said Simmons.
"Everybody's fighting for the same pool of workers so that's our challenge right now, said Swenson.
Martha, like many of the people her company convinces to move to the area, is new to Cedar Rapids.
"There's something special going on here and we just got to make sure that the people we are trying to attract get a chance to see it and feel it like I have, said May.
Feel it. Like it. And help develop it.

Hi, my husband wants to put a couple of new metal buildings on a lot we own. He is looking, as far as size goes, for two buildings each one 60x40 with four doors . Where should we start? he is a general contractor, has built some commercial and some residential never worked with metal buildings before. Any company any type of building you prefer? he is going to cover the front with brick or stone. Any help will be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are a number of manufacturers of such buildings, but if you're going to erect your own, presumably your search would be limited to manufacturers who sell them in "kit" form. We didn't have the DIY option, and ended up having Morton Buildings do our 24 x 48" garage. We're happy with the result, even though they were not the least expensive choice. |
No offence to your husband but he had better check with the building warranty before he puts brick or stone on the front of the building. He could rust out the steel in less than 5 years if he doesn't know what he is doing. He should know better. your concrete will cost you more than the building. a building that size will need an engineered drawing and a curb. Once that is done most are in kit form and you assemble them yourself or you have the opption of the supplier to do it for you. Nice building. good luck |

They are not similar products, the AO Smith is a gas-fired condensing hot water heater, the Buderus is a indirect hot water heater that requires a external boiler as the heat source. So not being apples for apples it depends on if you have a boiler, and its type of operation and efficiency. |
Ah thanks... I now see what the Buderus is. |

Tim Donaghy Once Punched Joey Crawford In The Face
Being an NBA ref is a pretty thankless job. The public's eye only shines after you mess up, and if anyone's screaming your name in the arena, it's usually prefaced with an inventive bit of cursing. This goes double for noted fan of the limelight, Joey Crawford, who appears to delight in his infamy. It's a shame it was disgraced former referee, Tim Donaghy, who got to punch him in the face.

Ga GSP is a small family operation in Northeast Georgia with quality GSPs raised in a family environment. Our puppies are raised in a comfortable, social environment and we go above and beyond with proper nutritional and medical treatment. We have a roomy kennel with plenty of space and opportunity to exercise and run.
German Shorthaired pointers have been part of the family for over 18 years but recently decided to raise puppies. We started with a quality male (Wileys Black Ty) born from Bloomers Black Death and OK Lady. We have added to the family by purchasing a solid liver female (Janee) and two liver and roan females (Katee and Charlee). Katee and Charlee will be old enough to safely breed this coming fall so we are excited about that. Katee and Charlee have and excellent pedigree for hunting. My 3 children, my wife, and I spend a great deal of time with the dogs so they have been well socialized.
At Georgia GSP we are trying to produce quality, healthy dogs that have a great disposition. There is certainly a strong hunting bloodline that goes with these dogs with parents that have established themselves as great hunters. If you have questions please email or call.
Comments from owners of past litters:
T.W. "This puppy is the smartest I have ever trained. I had her in the field at around 10 weeks and shot over her and she is the smartest yet."
J.K. "He is a great Puppy, loves the water going to take him to the lake soon. Took about a week for all the dogs to get to know one another and now i can't separate the pointers they are either playing or sleeping. By far the best puppy i have ever had. thanks Jake."
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any questions.

Next tie 2015 Serbia has been relegated to Europe/Africa Zone Group I for the 2015 season. The draw takes place closer to the event. Last tie 19-20 April 2014 Serbia succumbed to defeat against a talented Romania team which means that the 2012 finalists will now have to compete in Europe/Africa Zone Group I next year. Sorana Cirstea downed Ana Ivanovic in three sets before Bojana Jovanovski's matchup with world No. 5 Simona Halep was halted mid-way through the first set due to rain. The Romanian eventually in straight sets, but Ivanovic captialised on the extra rest, defeating Halep to haul the Serbs back into the tie. Jovanovski attempted to salvage something for Serbia in the fourth rubber, but Cirstea eventually won a dramatic clash in three sets to seal Serbia's fate. History Serbia made their Fed Cup debut in 1995, competing as Yugoslavia between 1995 and 2003, and as Serbia & Montenegro between 2004 and 2006. 2012 was by far Serbia's best in the competition as they went all the way to the final, narrowly losing out to Czech Republic.

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 Dasher!
Facts about Dasher
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Dasher's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Dasher lived on the street for 10 years having litter after litter of kittens, most of which were killed by cars. She was being fed dog food. When we became aware of the situation, Dasher was 12 hours away from giving birth to 7 kittens. She needed help with the delivery as well as for caring for her kittens. Now that she is finished caring for her kittens, it's time for Dasher to enjoy her life. Dasher enjoys curling up for naps and watching the birds at the window. She likes to play with her favorite mice toys and loves catnip. Dasher is quiet and reserved, but loves to be petted and cuddle up in bed with you at night. She has a very loud purr and kneads the blankets. After living so long as a stray outside, she deserves to be spoiled. Dasher has tested negative for FELV/FIV, she is spayed and vaccinated. If you would like to open your heart and home to this special cat, please call Sharon at 631 987 8152.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Dasher, a Speonk Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Speonk, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Speonk.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Speonk 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 Speonk 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Speonk paves the way for another one to be saved.

HUTTON: College realignment has created new chaos
By Mike Hutton 613-0141 or email@example.com January 11, 2014 11:42PM
Notre Dame coach Mike Brey, left, and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski shake hand before the first half of an NCAA college basketball game, Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014, in South Bend, Ind. (AP Photo/Joe Raymond)
Updated: February 13, 2014 7:02AM
The shake-up in the college basketball landscape has unintentionally created a new buzz this year.
There is a whole new set of games and potential rivalries down the road that were never going to materialize without a nudge from somewhere.
Sometimes, greed is good. The Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten, with the addition of Maryland, and the Big East all look completely different now.
The movement and chaos has re-energized the early part of the season. Now, at least, the new matchups are fresh and different. In the ACC, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse are in with Louisville coming on board next year. Xavier, Creighton and Butler hopped into the Big East from the old Atlantic 10.
A compass and roadmap are required to figure out who is where.
Learning new skills is good. I had forgotten what conference Louisville was in this year until I looked it up.
It's the American Athletic Conference and it's the reason Memphis was able to beat them this week, getting what was dubbed by some as Josh Pastner's biggest win as head coach.
Casualties from the switch are already piling up.
For instance, DePaul's double overtime victory at Hinkle Fieldhouse two days ago was a shocker. Butler dropped to 0-3 in the Big East, with two overtime losses at home and a game against Georgetown Saturday night.
It didn't look all that bleak for Butler heading into conference play after they started nonconference play 10-2. Questions about whether Butler can still be Butler, without Brad Stevens and without the Atlantic 10 (and before that the Horizon League), are legitimate. Do the Bulldogs have to learn to play differently and recruit differently because of the nature of the league?
Notre Dame can be viewed through the same lens.
A great start to conference play — a win at home against Duke — is ancient history now. A loss to Georgia Tech, a very mediocre to bad team on the road, has turned the Irish into a 1-2 ACC team with Maryland looming on the road Wednesday. After losing Jerian Grant for the season, ND looks and feels like a bottom half of the ACC team.
Still, the loss at home to North Carolina State and the loss to Tech are stingers. The Irish should've won at least one and possibly both of those games. It's worth wondering: Will Mike Brey, who was a great regular season Big East coach, be able to lead the program as successfully into the ACC?
The new leagues have unintentionally created home-and-home matchups that never would've happened naturally.
Because of the grind of a season, because of the intense demands of conference play, because of the fact that every coach in the country wants to carefully calculate just how much risk they want to take during nonconference play, there really aren't that good many home-and-home nonconference rivalries anymore.
The last super great one in this state was Kentucky and Indiana. That was blown up two years ago when John Calipari, a coach who should have absolutely nothing to fear, opted out of the annual game because he wanted to make it a neutral site affair. Of course, it came the year after IU fans stormed the court in Bloomington when they beat the No. 1 ranked Wildcats.
It's foolish that a Duke-Notre Dame home-and-home, at least once, never happened before the Irish joined the ACC. Mike Krzyzewski has Chicago roots and Brey was his assistant for seven years.
The storylines are abundant and rich for both schools. Without intervention, it was never going to happen. Coaches don't like to play former assistants and there is almost never a reason for a top program to play a true road game before conference play begins.
Consider that the Irish just played their second road game of the season Saturday and the first one they played was out of their control — they lost to Iowa in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge in Iowa City. Duke played its first road game last week against the Irish at Purcell Pavilion.
The new leagues are going to create opportunities for some programs and heartache for others. In five years, we'll know more. For now, though, I'm enjoying the disruption and squirming.

Many people are aware of the medicinal uses and benefits of tea - but did you also know that even the tea stems and roots that don't make it into your cup can also be useful?
At the moment, we're busy decorating our house here in Fuzhou. Many health conscious friends of ours remind us daily about the risks of the lingering paint smells and fumes, and have offered a number of quite strange methods for getting rid of the smells.
For example, one friend recommended putting bowls of vinegar around the house to absorb the fumes. While it seems to be working, our whole house now stinks of vinegar!
A slightly more preferable solution is a traditional Chinese method of using the leftover stems and roots from tea processing. Normally, when tea is processed, workers will manually pick out the hard twigs from the soft tea leaves. In some lower quality teas, the twigs will be ground up and mixed together with the tea - not in our tea I might add!
Anyway, so one short trip to a local tea supplier, and I had a massive 5kg bag of leftover tea roots. Although not good to drink, they smell fantastic (much better than vinegar), and spread around the house they're helping soak up the paint smells really well.
And you thought tea was just for drinking!!

Buckle Up! 12 Summer Belts To Jazz Up Your Shorts and Skirts
Honestly, I'm not sure that I can remember the last time I wore a belt.
It's not that I have any objection to belts; it's because for who-knows-how-long now, I've been on a quest for the perfect one and have never quite found it (until now!). I don't need just any functional belt to hold up my pants. I want one that's pretty. One that will add some real pizzazz to my outfits that are just somehow...lacking something. I want something to liven up plain pairs of shorts or to cinch the waist of breezy dresses—and any one of these would fit the bill. Click through the slideshow to see my picks!

I have three Blaumeise Lace Cap Hydrangeas planted side by side up against the house. They get morning shade and afternoon sun. Why do I have big beautiful green leafy lush bushes with very minimal blooms? The few blooms that I have are beautiful but far and few in between. What do I do to produce more blooms? It has been planted for a year now. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do I understand correctly that you are in z8? If so, Blaumeise should be blooming reliably for you, with exception of the second year after being planted since plant may take a vacation (on blooms), but working hard to establish good root system. However, since you are posting on NE forum and none of us even theoretically could be in a z8 (z7a would be the best for the people with a good stretch of imagination), here is another answer for you: all hydrangeas from the Teller series are not [bud]hardy in our climate and blooms here and there (if you are lucky) is the norm for them. |

Wedding season is upon us -- are you prepared?!! Sure, you have an outfit, but what are you going to do when the DJ starts playing 'Celebrate' by Kool and the Gang? Huh?! Do you even know?!
First of all, how could somebody just dump a bunch of adorable puppies in a trash can? Seriously? What is wrong with people? Fortunately, for every (horrible monster of a) person who throws away puppies like they're garbage, there's a person who will rescue said puppies from the trash.
Granted, this video is not as elaborate as most of the proposals we feature on here. There was no puppet movie, no homemade video game. There was just an awesome surprise.
Playing the crash cymbals for the 'Star Spangled Banner' in your school band is kind of a big deal. It's definitely the most dramatic part of the song, and it only gets more dramatic when one of the cymbals breaks. What does one do when such a nightmare occurs? Take a cue from this kid who handled the situation like a bawse.
***SPOILERS*** ***THIS WHOLE POST IS A GIANT SPOILER*** ***IF YOU DID NOT WATCH 'GAME OF THRONES' LAST NIGHT, CLICK AWAY*** Otherwise, hilarity awaits you.
Legend has it that 30 years ago Atari buried a massive cache of video game cartridges in a landfill in New Mexico. Specifically, they buried tons and tons of copies of the failed 'E.T.' video game, an Atari non-classic that nearly sunk the gaming industry. Now a film crew has been given six months to search the massive 100 acre landfill to find the motherlode of lost games and confirm that the story is really true.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again -- if you're going to subject yourself to the stress of parenthood, you may as well use your kids for party tricks. This dad has taught his almost two-year-old
It's time for everyone's favorite grown man acting like a toddler -- 'Convos With My 2 Year Old' is back with a new episode. This one is about a cookie.
Look at that -- a cute video about a little girl who loves her daddy. JK! IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT HOW "NON-WHITES" ARE TRYING TO DESTROY THE WORLD!! At least according to the racist internet monsters who said so many horrible things in the comments section of this video that Cheerios scrubbed and disabled them.
You probably think of Monopoly as that excruciating board game you have to play with your family, unless your mom likes to make her nephews cry and it gets banned from the house (thanks, Mom!). It turns out it's not the Parker Bros.' fault that the game is so mind-numbingly dull -- it's yours. You've been playing it wrong all these years.
Hey, did you notice it's summer outside? It's time to start working on that "beat the heat" thing, and since the neighbors gave us weird looks when we just held a hose over our head during the hottest hour of the day, we're thinking lemonade might be the way to go. Sure a tall glass of classic lemonade sounds good, but why drink that all summer long, when you can add stuff to it like tequila? Or other fruit. But also tequila!
Everyone's favorite miserable cat is finally getting her own movie. No, not Garfield. There have been two Garfield movies already. Where have you been? But it has been announced that Tard herself, aka Grumpy Cat, is the inspiration for a 'Garfield'-like live-action movie.

I'm going for a decor/cosntrcution appointment to my builder to select the options that I would want. However with this being our first home I'm not sure which options for kitchen to take and ask for if they're included. I already know to make sure the fridge opening being 36'' also to check if the OTR microwave is vented to outside or if it's recirculating, I do not know if ductwork is standard and I have to have it for when I change it to a hood. Is there anything else I should ask for that I might regret not taking ? I attached picture of the plan. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you set on that layout plan? Are you open to (or asking for) feedback on that layout or suggestions for changes? |
See if you can negotiate the house without them including the appliances. That way you'll be free to choose the appliances you want without feeling the need to be constrained by the "allowance" they give you or being stuck with builder grade appliances. Of course, they'll probably just reduce the cost of the house by less than what the allowance would have been :-) Also, insist they put in at least 8" ducting for a real vent hood. Much better than an OTR and easy to do while the house is being constructed. Do you have the option to talk to different builders and compare quotes and options? |
Well the house will include SS stove, fridge, OTR, dishwasher from Whirpool, and I know that they will only give me like $1000 back, I don't expect more. I might aswell keep it, maybe give it to my father for cottage or something. Layout is set, there was no other option for different layout. For all options builder is sending me to private kitchen company that does work for builder, but everything extra I have to pay out of my pocket. |
Are you sure you can't ask to reconfigure the cabinets this far in advance? That fridge in the corner might be frustrating for starters. |
I've never had a new house, so I'm afraid I don't know what you can pick and what you can't. Can you get drawers in the lower cabs? Some should be deep drawers, for pots. Measure your biggest pot. Do you have any say about the sink, double vs single, if double, full divide vs low divide? That's another decision you might like to make yourself. Also the faucet - pull out vs. pull down? That's actually easy to change yourself, but if it doesn't matter to them, may as well get what you want. Can you ask for an air switch for the GD instead of a wall switch? Or a batch feed, if that's what you prefer? The vent duct is the most important thing, because it would be harder to retrofit and easy to put in while the house is built. |

In a sea of horrid builder plans from designers who don't even microwave takeout, that is one of the worst kitchens that I've ever seen. You won't be able to open the door of the fridge fully. The sink in the island doesn't even have the required landing space to both sides. The only place to prep is too small, and over the cleanup station at that. At the very least, move the fridge to the end of the other wall, then move the range down and put a single sink with the DW on the leg where the fridge was located. |

I would ask if you could move the frig to the top of the range run and scoot the range over to the short part of the "L". It really should only involve the outlets... not a biggie. That would take the frig out of the corner making it pretty much across from the sink, give you a more protected cooking zone, and a nice amount of counter space for prep. |
Drawers, drawers, drawers. |
If I would ask for the cabinet maker to change the plan to move the fridge to the upper left part of "L" and move the stove to middle of lower "L" what about hood ducting ? I plan to have a good gas stove there in a year or two, so wouldn't the ducting be too long ? I cannot remember what the maximum duct length to vent outside. |
- Posted by remodelfla (My Page) on Sat, Feb 23, 13 at 7:58
We don't know how the kitchen relates to the rest of the home so it's hard to say about ducting. Most homes around here are single story so I just assumed vent up. |
Anyway you can make that whole room into the kitchen by extending the cabinets along the wall and getting rid of the low wall where the sink/dishwasher is? Then you might be able to put in an island. Is it possible to use this visit to just get a list of possible options? Bring that back to us and we can give you advice. Then you can go back and make your final decisions. |
Yup, will check with the builder and cabinet maker on pricing. This is a end unit townhouse with my neighbours attached to me on the side of the stove. Venting will have to be run in a over cabinet duct all the way to the backyard by the exit sliding doors. I'll ask the builder on how much it is to do a switch with fridge/stove like suggested before. |
So many layout problems have been noted. Let me add 2 more: 1. With the sink and DW in front of the low wall, there is no place to put clean dishes except all the way across the kitchen. You will have to unload them onto the top of the DW (awkward) and then tote them 5 or 6 feet to whichever cabs you want to store them in. REally poor planning. 2. You plan to get a real stove? You do NOT want the MW over the range, then. You want a good, powerful hood, not the inefficient one built into a MW. |

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has announced that a series of scheduled and lengthy closures of AirTrain service to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport began Saturday morning, Sept. 7, to accommodate overhauls, repairs and equipment replacement on the 10-year-old rail line.
The work is expected to take place periodically over the next six weeks, concluding in mid-October.
Switches, signals and other equipment will be upgraded or replaced as the commuter link between two of the city's largest transportation hubs enters its second decade of service.
The PA announced last Friday that free shuttle bus service will be available from the Jamaica and Howard Beach stations to Federal Circle.
There, riders will be able to transfer to shuttle buses that will take them to individual JFK terminals during periods when the AirTrain is down.
PA customer care representatives will be on hand during those times to assist riders and to guide travelers to the appropriate buses.
There will be no charge for the buses, nor for the AirTrain when partial track closures are in effect.
The PA also will close the JFK Expressway into the central terminal area this weekend and next to erect steel to replace a bridge across the roadway.
Additional information and tentative work schedules are available online on the Port Authority's website at panynj.gov/airports/jfk-airtrain.html.
