'Dazed and Confused': Where Are They Now
- Jason London, middle (Pink)
- Jason London (Pink)
London, who was 20 when he played "Dazed" lead Randall "Pink" Floyd, became a star in the early '90s. (So did his identical twin, Jeremy, on primetime TV dramas "I'll Fly Away" and "Party of Five.") After "Dazed," Jason co-starred in such films as "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" and "Out Cold" and played the lead in the TV mini-series "Jason and the Argonauts." These days, Jason, 40, remains a busy actor in independent films, including this summer's sci-fi tale "Avarice."
- Shawn Andrews (Pickford)
- Shawn Andrews (Pickford)
Andrews was 21 when he made his movie debut as would-be kegger host Kevin Pickford in "Dazed." During the shoot, he and on-screen girlfriend Milla Jovovich snuck off to Las Vegas and got married, but the 16-year-old actress' mother made sure the marriage was quickly annulled. Andrews went on to appear in the Matt Dillon drama "City of Ghosts" and alongside Olivia Wilde in "Fix." Now 42, he's producing and co-starring in the drama "The Last Beat," due next year.
- Joey Lauren Adams, right (Simone)
- Joey Lauren Adams (Simone)
Adams was 24 when she played popular senior Simone in "Dazed and Confused." Her big break came as the female lead in Kevin Smith's "Chasing Amy," opposite fellow "Dazed" alum Ben Affleck. She went on to star opposite Adam Sandler in "Big Daddy." She made her writing/directing debut with 2006 drama "Come Early Morning." That same year, she played Jennifer Aniston's pal in "The Break-Up." Now 45, Adams can be seen in the current docudrama "Blue Caprice."
- Milla Jovovich (Michelle)
- Milla Jovovich (Michelle)
Kiev-born teen model Jovovich had already made her screen splash in "Return to the Blue Lagoon" when she was cast as guitar-strumming senior Michelle in "Dazed." Then 16, she eloped during the shoot with her on-screen boyfriend, Shawn Andrews, but the union was annulled two months later. She would go on to another short-lived marriage to French director Luc Besson, who cast her in starring roles in "The Fifth Element" and "The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc." Over the last decade, she's been known as the heroine of the "Resident Evil" franchise, directed by her current husband, Paul W.S. Anderson. Now 37, she'll continue to appear as zombie fighter Alice in a sixth installment, due next year.
- Rory Cochrane (Slater)
- Rory Cochrane (Slater)
Pothead Ron Slater was the first major screen role for Cochrane, then 20. He went on to star in such cult hits as "Empire Records" and "The Low Life" before landing his most famous part, as Detective Tim Speedle on several seasons of "CSI: Miami." His movies since "CSI" have included "Dazed" director Richard Linklater's "A Scanner Darkly" and Michael Mann's period crime epic "Public Enemies." Last year, he played one of the six freed American diplomats in "Argo" alongside his old "Dazed" classmate, actor/director Ben Affleck. Now 41, Cochrane will be seen in next month's historical drama "Parkland."
- Adam Goldberg (Mike)
- Adam Goldberg (Mike)
"Dazed" was just the third film for 22-year-old Goldberg, who played the frustrated, belligerent Mike Newhouse. His sarcasm and edgy vibe made him a cult star, though he occasionally broke into the mainstream (a memorable role as Chandler's short-fused roommate on "Friends," Private Mellish in "Saving Private Ryan," and roles in Ron Howard's "EdTV and "A Beautiful Mind"). In 2003, he starred in the blaxploitation/holiday movie spoof "The Hebrew Hammer." He was most recently seen as attorney Howard K. Stern in the recent TV movie "Anna Nicole." The 42-year-old has written and directed the films "Scotch and Milk" and "I Love Your Work" and has a third such film, "No Way Jose," due next year.
- Anthony Rapp, left (Tony)
- Anthony Rapp (Tony)
Rapp was an established teen actor ("Adventures in Babysitting," "School Ties") before turning 21 and landing the role of nerdy senior Tony Olson in "Dazed." He went on to become famous for originating the role of Mark Cohen in "Rent" on Broadway, a role he reprised in the film. He wrote a book about his "Rent" experience called "Without You," which he transformed, in turn, into a stage show. Now 41, he's still primarily a stage actor, though he has appeared in movies, including "Twister," "A Beautiful Mind," and next year's "Opening Night," a comedy about a high school drama production.
- Marissa Ribisi (Cynthia)
- Marissa Ribisi (Cynthia)
The twin sister of actor Giovanni Ribisi, Marissa was 17 when she made her movie debut in "Dazed" as Cynthia, the geeky redhead who catches the eye of the older Wooderson. She went on to appear in "The Brady Bunch Movie," "True Crime," "Pleasantville," and "Some Girl," which she also co-wrote. In 2004, she married musician Beck and started a family. Since then, Ribisi, now 38, has put her showbiz career on the back burner.
- Wiley Wiggins (Mitch)
- Wiley Wiggins (Mitch)
Wiggins was 16 when he made his film debut in "Dazed" as Mitch Kramer, the freshman who goes from being brutally hazed to enjoying a wild night of partying and romance. He went on to appear in the teen dramas "Boys" and "The Faculty" and in "Dazed" director Richard Linklater's "Waking Life." He became a tech blogger and videogame designer, though the 36-year-old also kept a toe in the acting world, playing a role in this summer's acclaimed indie film "Computer Chess."
- Michelle Burke, right (Jodi)
- Michelle Burke (Jodi)
1993 was a big year for 22-year-old Burke, who, besides playing Mitch Kramer's protective big sister Jodi in "Dazed," also took over the Laraine Newman role as alien teen Connie Conehead in the big-screen version of "Coneheads." She followed those movies up with a role in the film "Major League II," but since then, she has done mostly TV guest spots. Married to Ringside musician Scott Thomas, she started acting under her married name. Now 42, Michelle Thomas last appeared in the 2012 comedy feature "LOL" alongside Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore.
- Cole Hauser (Benny)
- Cole Hauser (Benny)
The son of actor Wings Hauser, Cole made his screen debut in "School Ties" alongside future "Dazed" pal Ben Affleck. A year later, the 17-year-old redhead played sadistic senior Benny O'Donnell in "Dazed." He and Affleck teamed up again in Affleck and Matt Damon's "Good Will Hunting." Since then, Hauser has tended to play heavies and tough guys, in movies like "Pitch Black," "2 Fast 2 Furious," and "The Cave." Now 38, Hauser appeared this year in action thrillers "A Good Day to Die Hard" and "Olympus Has Fallen."
- Ben Affleck (O'Bannion)
- Ben Affleck (O'Bannion)
Imagine how different film history would have been if Richard Linklater had cast auditioner Vince Vaughn in the role of Fred O'Bannion, the paddle-pounding, second-year senior and chief villain of "Dazed." Instead, he cast 20-year-old Affleck, who parlayed the role into another thug in Kevin Smith's "Mallrats," followed by the romantic lead in Smith's "Chasing Amy" (opposite fellow "Dazed" star Joey Lauren Adams), followed in turn by his Oscar for co-writing "Good Will Hunting" with childhood pal Matt Damon. Affleck's career arc since then is familiar – A-list leading man in such movies as "Armageddon" and "Pearl Harbor," a period of ridicule (superhero dud "Daredevil," mob comedy megaflop "Gigli," co-starring then-fiancée Jennifer Lopez), and finally, a redemption as a director and star of smart little thrillers like "The Town" and last year's Best Picture Oscar-winner "Argo." Of course, now that he's been named the new Batman, the 41-year-old seems due for a return to the ridicule period. Brace yourself for the backlash -- and counter-backlash.
- Christin Hinojosa (Sabrina)
Hinojosa made her film debut at 17 in "Dazed" as Sabrina Davis, a hazed freshman who catches the eye of shy senior Tony. She had a few more small roles on TV but left acting to become a peace activist. She is 37 now and known by her married name, Christin Kirschenbaum.
- Parker Posey (Darla)
- Parker Posey (Darla)
Soap actress Posey got her first big movie break at 24 in "Dazed" as Darla Marks, the senior who gleefully hazes the freshman girls, forcing them to drop to the ground as she sprays them with graceful arcs of ketchup and mustard. Soon, Posey was known as the queen of Sundance for her starring roles in such indie fare as "Party Girl," "The Daytrippers," and "The House of Yes." But she also co-starred in such mainstream films as "You've Got Mail" and "Scream 3." She became part of Christopher Guest's repertory company, appearing in such improvisational Guest comedy classics as "Waiting for Guffman," "Best in Show," "A Mighty Wind," and "For Your Consideration." In recent years, she's been a frequent TV comedy guest. The 44-year-old's most recent film was this spring's indie comedy "And Now a Word From Our Sponsor." At a recent reunion of "Dazed" cast members, she said men still ask her to emulate Darla and shout "AIR RAID!" at their wives.
- Matthew McConaughey (Wooderson)
- Matthew McConaughey (Wooderson)
According to Hollywood lore, McConaughey was a 23-year-old law student and sometime commercial actor who finally abandoned the law for show business when Richard Linklater cast him in "Dazed" as David Wooderson, the twentysomething slacker still hanging out with the high schoolers. Within three years, he was an A-list leading man in movies like "A Time To Kill," "Contact," "EdTV," and Linklater's "The Newton Boys." He spent much of the first decade of the millennium as a romantic comedy lead in movies from "The Wedding Planner" and "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" to "Failure to Launch" and "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past." The 43-year-old also remained in demand for independent movies, including Linklater's "Bernie" and this summer's "Mud." And judging by the bod he displayed in "Magic Mike," while we all keep getting older, he stays the same age.
- Nicky Katt, right (Clint)
- Nicky Katt (Clint)
Child actor Katt transitioned into more grown-up rules with "Dazed," in which the 22-year old played the bully Clint Bruno. He went on to play thuggish characters and tough guys in "A Time To Kill" (alongside "Dazed" veteran Matthew McConaughey), "One True Thing" (he played the boyfriend of "Dazed" co-star Renee Zellweger), "Boiler Room," "Insomnia," "Grindhouse," "The Brave One," and "The Dark Knight." He worked with "Dazed" director Linklater again on "Waking Life" and "The School of Rock." The 43-year-old's most recent theatrical feature was 2011's "The Sitter," though he also appeared in this summer's cable movie "Behind the Candelabra."
- Renee Zellweger (Girl in Blue Pick-Up Truck)
In "Dazed and Confused" Renee Zelleweger pours beer through a funnel in a party scene, but here she appears at (0:45) when she walks past the guys.
- Renee Zellweger (Girl in Blue Pick-Up Truck)
When she made her screen debut in "Dazed," the 24-year-old Zellweger didn't even play a character with a name; you can see her in a party scene serving beer in a funnel. She worked alongside "Dazed" co-star Matthew McConaughey in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation" and "Dazed" player Rory Cochrane in "Empire Records." Breaking through to stardom in "Jerry Magurie," she became the sweetheart of two continents with "Bridget Jones's Diary" and won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Cold Mountain." She's been less ubiquitous in recent years; in fact, the 44-year-old has been absent from the screen since 2010's "My Own Love Song" She's directing and starring in "4 ½ Minutes," due next year.

Daily Skin Care Regimen Begin with a very mild soap, possibly cream based. Since your skin is acidic, the alkaline in soap can easily disturb the delicate pH balance. Also, make sure the soap does not contain harsh chemicals which will also remove the acid mantel and cause further dryness. Choose a toner that soothes and nourishes your skin. It should refresh with a hint of moisture - a low or no alcohol formulation is recommended to prevent over drying the skin.
A daily moisturizing routine is essential to aging skin. After washing skin, pat it dry and begin with a serum to enhance moisture, then apply a day moisturizer. Try to use a day cream with an SPF An evening ritual can include a serum application and a heavier moisturizer. Eye creams and serums are recommended for the delicate area around the eyes that are subject to fine lines and wrinkles.
Weekly Skin Care Routine Use an extremely mild exfoliator in order to expose fresh skin and allow products to penetrate deeper. This will maximize the effectiveness of your skin care products. A moisture-enhancing mask that you put on and wipe off will moisturize and plump skin that may be dry and dehydrated.

Daily Skin Care Regimen If you have dry skin, you will need moisturizing products that nourish, so you will want to find protective and restorative products. Achieving a moisture balance with the right pH is key.

Why Restore? Refresh your skin with a hydrating serum or moisturizing spray. Both serums and sprays will support your moisturizer, adding a boost to quench your skin's thirst. With its high water content, sprays can be used to set makeup and add moisture to the top layers of skin when you need it. They're great for airplane flights, when living in dry conditions, or for midday refreshers.
What is a Serum? Deciding to use a serum can depend on various factors including skin type, age or degree of damage. They are able to effectively penetrate the layers of skin, delivering active ingredients for maximum benefit. Depending on ingredients, serums contain anti-aging properties that serve to firm, tighten, provide anti-oxidant protection, re-texturize, or slow the signs of aging. If you decide to use a serum with your moisturizer, select one with the ingredients or benefits associated with the concerns you wish to address.
How to Restore with a Spray or Serum Apply to a freshly cleansed face after your toner and/or exfoliator. Once your application of serum has been absorbed (approximately five minutes), simply apply an ample layer of moisturizer. You can also use a refreshing spray during the day, between moisturizer applications.
Daily Skin Care Regimen The key to maintaining normal skin is to adhere to a regular beauty regimen. Use a cleanser both day and night for normal skin types. A mild toner is recommended to remove remaining traces of soap and dirt. Use a lightweight lotion or cream with an SPF after you wash.
Depending on your age, environment or skin needs, try a serum as a base for your moisturizer. If you live in a cold or particularly arid environment, a serum may be just the right addition to your regimen. Choose a lighter lotion or heavier cream based on your skin's response to each. If your skin feels too greasy after a cream, try a lotion. Conversely, if your skin feels tight or lacks moisture, try a heavier lotion or cream.
Weekly Skin Care Routine: A mild exfoliator will help remove the top skin cells and allow your face to glow with fresh skin. You can offset any occasional or seasonal oiliness or dryness with a clay or moisturizing mask.
Key Ingredients for Normal Skin: Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Jojoba Oil, Lavender, Chamomile, Aloe Vera
When skin ages, its collagen and elastin are produced more slowly. This causes gradual changes like hyperpigmentation, discoloration, dryness, sagging, wrinkles, crepe-like folds, loss of muscle tone, textural unevenness and loss of elasticity.
The topical application of key skin firming ingredients works synergistically to protect and strengthen the skin. Skin care products should have a combination of naturally occurring active ingredients. They will contain compounds to protect which will likely be in the form of extracts containing antioxidants. Another set of ingredients will firm the skin by penetrating through its seven layers to support the collagen process at a cellular level.
Skin firming creams are usually formulated as night creams. They tend to be richer, thicker and more emollient and should be able to stay on long enough to absorb for maximum benefits. In general, face creams are designed to minimize lines/wrinkles, improve skin density, firm, plump and decrease puffiness (especially in the eye area).
Many manufacturers describe their product as a "cocktail" of ingredients that work together to decrease the effects of aging. Skin firming and anti-aging ingredients often include antioxidants, minerals, seaweed, herb extracts and different kinds of oils like Vitamins A and E. Other ingredients attributed to having a firming effect on the skin include green tea, aloe vera, beech bud extract, alpha lipoic acids, shea butter, hyaluronic acid and the very exotic sounding emu oil. Some firming and anti-aging products also contain light reflecting pigments, such as mica, to enhance the glow and make the skin look radiant.
You can choose the right skin firming creams according to your skin type (oily, combination or dry) and the anti-aging action associated with them.
About the Collection During his 20 years of experience in the industry, Dimitri James was disappointed to learn that very little of the money cosmetic companies spend goes into the actual product. Instead, the money is spent on ad campaigns, department store counter space, Park Avenue offices and fancy packaging. Frustrated by his findings, Dimitri was inspired to start changing the beauty industry for the better, launching SKINN® Cosmetics in 2002.
Dimitri's focus was to create a collection of quality products that helps the consumer avoid big-cost items with no results. SKINN Cosmetics has long since established itself as a revolutionary leader in skin care and cosmetics, offering treatments and color products loaded with anti-aging properties that meet the highest professional and esthetician standards. Each day, new women are discovering the line's amazing results and joining the ranks of SKINN enthusiasts across the nation.
About the Guest Founder and CEO of SKINN® Cosmetics, Dimitri James has been a Hollywood makeup artist, aesthetician and cosmetologist for 25 years. He's worked for some of the biggest names in beauty, and has manufactured and sold his own cosmetics for 14 years. Inspired by the lack of concern for product quality found in many of industry's biggest cosmetic companies, Dimitri launched SKINN. Each product is a result of Dimitri's experience and knowledge, and is produced in his own factory for superior quality every step of the way.
Since its founding, SKINN has been dedicated to offering the best color and skin care products available. The line features cutting-edge and anti-aging properties that are free of the unnecessary fillers found in many large cosmetic brands.
"I love creating state-of-the-art products and offering them to my customers at a reasonable price, so that every woman who wants to can look her best."-Dimitri James

Steamboat, which opens on November 27, will offer night skiing for the first time this season, complete with several illuminated features in the Lil' Rodeo terrain park.
Splurge: "On the mountain, check out the six-course dining experience at the new Four Points Lodge, and on a powder day, you can pay extra for the First Tracks deal, which gets you on the gondola early," Noble says. "In that half-hour, you might get a couple of the best runs of your life." For high-end lodging, Noble suggests the Steamboat Grand, Ptarmigan Inn or Christie Club. And for the ultimate Steamboat splurge, plan ahead and book a snowcat trip with Steamboat Powdercats. "Every year I help them with a Wounded Warriors program they do, and it's a top-notch operation. We like to take our staff on a Powdercats trip on Super Bowl Sunday, and it's always one of the highlights of the year. They always know where to go to find the snow."
Ski bum tips: "People are always going to mention the hot springs, and I'd make that part of your day, for sure, because it's part of what makes Steamboat special," Noble says, recommending both the famous Strawberry Hot Springs outside of town ($10, visit StrawberryHotSprings.com for more information and to book a massage) and the Old Town Hot Springs ($16, SSHRA.org). If you're coming before Christmas, save on lift tickets with the $129 Boat Launch 3-Day Early Season Pass, good from Thanksgiving through December 21. "For lodging, you'll find your best bets in town," Noble says. "You can't go wrong with the Rabbit Ears Motel, which is right across the street from the hot springs, has free breakfast, and is definitely the most affordable place in town," Noble says. "I'd also recommend the Alpiner Lodge, right across the street from us, and the Nordic Lodge."
Drink locally: "If you're up on the mountain, I would recommend the T-Bar at the base area, a great locals' hangout with really good food and drinks," Noble says. "Then come see us here at 435 Lincoln Avenue for happy hour, dinner, or our late-night happy hour. In addition to the seven beers always on our menu, this season we'll be doing a Scottish ale and a barleywine that should both pair well with a day on the slopes." Overwhelmed by all the drink choices? Start with the tasting flight and try them all.
"The standard good practice around here is to enjoy a day of skiing at Sunlight, head over to the hot-springs pool for a soak, and then come here to the brewpub to finish it off," says Ken Jones, brewery manager at the Glenwood Canyon Brewpub inside the town's historic Hotel Denver. "That's the 1-2-3, as far as I'm concerned. And to really complete the picture, I'd suggest starting with a beer at the Wynkoop in Denver before hopping a train. That way you'll avoid I-70 traffic altogether, and when you pop out at the train station here, you can walk across the street and have another beer at our place."
Sunlight, which opens December 6, has a well-deserved reputation as a family-friendly ski area, but it's also home to some steep stuff. Be sure to head for the new gladed areas in the trees, where the ski area has been clearing out beetle-kill pine in partnership with local manufacturer Matt Cudmore, who turns the wood into planks for Meier Skis and Weston Snowboards.
Splurge: "The Pullman is a good spot to get a nice dinner, and there are any number of good restaurants downtown where you can get a pretty good steak," Jones says. "For lodging, a lot of people think of the Hotel Colorado, because it's the most iconic place in town, but I'd urge you take a close look here at the Hotel Denver, too. We run a free shuttle to the ski area, so you'll be all set. And, of course, don't miss the hot-springs pool. People love coming here in the summer, but I think it's best when it's cold and snowy outside. For me, it's that contrast that makes it special, and after a day on the slopes, your legs will thank you for it."
Ski bum tips: "If you're ski-bumming it, Sunlight's your place," Jones says. "It's not pretentious at all, unlike some of the other ski areas, and nobody here will care what you're wearing. Come mid-week to get unbelievable deals on lodging, and for a funky little locals' hangout with great food, try the 19th Street Diner. You'll find some colorful locals in there, for sure, as well as good eats and a decent draft selection."
Drink locally: On the mountain, Jones recommends the Last-Turn Lounge for a selection of Colorado beers on tap. Off the mountain, he likes his own place. "We've been open since '96, and we just won our twelfth medal at the Great American Beer Festival, taking silver for our Hanging Lake English Ale," he says. Also try the St. James Irish Red Ale, a 2012 GABF gold-medalist, and repeat prize winners like the Storm King Dunkel Lager. "We also make some great winter seasonals, and this year we're going to make our Sopris Strong Ale, Carbonator Doppelbock, South Canyon Imperial Red, and Deep Lake Scotch Ale."

After seeing the Gershwin musical, Nice Work If You Can Get It, on Broadway last fall, Tim was inspired to explore the lives and music of the Gershwin brothers, George and Ira. Holt will perform and play songs from the musical, including "'S Wonderful" and "Do Do Do," as well as selections from Porgy and Bess, and other works by the Gershwin team. He'll discuss their contribution to American popular music and give a behind-the-scenes look at how they weaved music and words seamlessly together. Tim will also discuss the work of other great composers from that era: Harold Arlen ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow"), Irving Berlin ("Cheek To Cheek") and Jerome Kern ("'Ol Man River"). As in his other programs, Tim will encourage audience members to celebrate our musical heritage by singing right along with him.

PTC Council should re-hear DAPC funding plea
A couple of months ago, City Council members Eric Imker, Vanessa Fleisch and Kim Learnard voted against Mayor Haddix and Councilman Sturbaum's proposal to increase DAPC's annual budget funding from $35,000 to $150,000 and to eliminate all of DAPC's funding.
Concerning the proposal to increase DAPC's annual funding from $35,000 to $150,000, was DAPC accorded the opportunity by the City Council to publicly present what they would do with that increased funding before this vote was taken?
Concerning the vote to de-fund DAPC, was DAPC, and the businesses they serve, given the opportunity by the City Council to publicly provide their feedback on the existing and future DAPC activities before the vote to de-fund them occurred?
How could a proper decision have been made without having these activities done before these votes were taken?
How high on the priority list is new business development for Peachtree City according to its budget as approved by the City Council? How does this new business budget amount compare to other budget entities that have a similar objective?
Is there another entity of the Peachtree City budget that can be used for comparison with this new business development budget? I believe there is: the Convention and Visitors Bureau or CVB.
The CVB's charter, as its namesake suggests, is to help generate convention business and visitor business (money to be spent) in Peachtree City.
This is similar to what businesses do: they cause money to be spent, via their employees in Peachtree City. Also, conventions, visitors and businesses, help generate tax revenues for Peachtree City. Yes, there are differences, but I believe they (CVB and new business development) are similar enough from a high level to be used for comparison with each other for budget comparison.
What is Peachtree City's annual budget for the CVB? To quote from a recent article [The Citizen, Sept. 4 & 5 edition "Council unanimously approves CVB's budget"], "Peachtree City Council unanimously approved the $532,021 for the city's newly named Convention and Visitors Bureau."
How much is currently budgeted by the City Council for new business development? Last year it was $35,000 for DAPC; this year it will be one economic coordinator.
I believe that the CVB is important to Peachtree City. I also believe that new business development is crucial to this city and its budget is underfunded.
DAPC, although not perfect, was doing a good job. Mayor Haddix's proposal to increase its funding from $35,000 to $150,000 was valid and DAPC deserved the opportunity to officially present their proposal on what they would do with this funding to the City Council and the public before this City Council vote was taken. Unfortunately, that is not what happened.
Let me explain one of the reasons I am focused on new business jobs and revenue growth for Peachtree City. I believe that increasing the number of business jobs in Peachtree City will have a positive affect on our property values.
It is based upon the simple economic principle of supply and demand. Demand represents the number of people who want to buy properties in a given area and supply represents the amount of properties available in that given area.
Simply stated, the more a homeowner's property is in demand, the higher the price for that property. What causes demand for a homeowner's property? There are two main components: location of that property and the house that is on it. All things being equal, location is paramount.
What causes demand for a homeowner's property location? People do. The more people who want to live in an area, the higher the demand for that area and the higher the price for the property values in that area. One of the biggest decision factors that goes into determining where people want to live is where they work.
The more businesses in an area, the more demand there is to live in and around that area especially, by those who work for those businesses. This, of course, has a positive effect on property values in that area. The other benefit of businesses in an area are the tax revenues they provide and the money spent by the businesses employees at local restaurants and retail shops in that area.
DAPC has been positively involved with new and existing business growth for Peachtree City for many years.
Before the votes were taken on whether or not to increase DAPC's existing annual budget from $35,000 to $150,000 and before the vote was taken to completely de-fund DAPC's annual funding, DAPC and the businesses they serve should have been given the opportunity to publicly present to the City Council and the public their proposal on what they would do with that increased $150,000 annual funding and what these businesses were getting from DAPC with their existing $35,000 annual budget.
You are supposed to have all the facts presented to you before you make a decision, not afterwards.
I recommend that the City Council reinstate the $35,000 annual budget to DAPC and allow DAPC to officially present to the City Council and the public what they would do with the increased annual funding of $150,000.
The new business development activities are just as important as, if not more important than, CVB's activities for Peachtree City and our property values. Peachtree City's budget needs to reflect this.

After viewing the meeting that evening, the three Council members voted against the funding requested after DAPC failed to put together anything for the Council to see. Supposedly there was someting available the night of the vote, but it appeared that only Haddix and Sturbaum had any knowledge of it until just prior to the meeting. That was one of the major complaints of the Three, that DAPC had failed to provide anything until the 11th hour. The Three were working on an alternative plan, so the failure of DAPC to present a comprehensive plan added further credibility that program. The failure here was not that the Three cut the funding, but rather that the Two kept everything hidden from the Council as a whole, again demonstrating failed leadership. Somewhere in the middle was probably the best program, but with a dysfunctional Council, there will always be sides, never compromises.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Job, you challenged Almighty God; will you give up now, or will you answer? | 1 The LORD said to Job: |
3 I spoke foolishly, Lord. What can I answer? I will not try to say anything else. | 3 "Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!" |
5 I have already said more than I should. | 5 Then Job answered the LORD: |
6 Then out of the storm the Lord spoke to Job once again. | 6 "I am unworthy--how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. |
7 Now stand up straight and answer my questions. | 7 I spoke once, but I have no answer-- twice, but I will say no more." |
8 Are you trying to prove that I am unjust - to put me in the wrong and yourself in the right? | 8 Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm: |
9 Are you as strong as I am? Can your voice thunder as loud as mine? | 9 "Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. |
10 If so, stand up in your honor and pride; clothe yourself with majesty and glory. | 10 "Would you discredit my justice? Would you condemn me to justify yourself ? |
11 Look at those who are proud; pour out your anger and humble them. | 11 Do you have an arm like God's, and can your voice thunder like his? |
12 Yes, look at them and bring them down; crush the wicked where they stand. | 12 Then adorn yourself with glory and splendor, and clothe yourself in honor and majesty. |
13 Bury them all in the ground; bind them in the world of the dead. | 13 Unleash the fury of your wrath, look at every proud man and bring him low, |
14 Then I will be the first to praise you and admit that you won the victory yourself. | 14 look at every proud man and humble him, crush the wicked where they stand. |
15 Look at the monster Behemoth; I created him and I created you. He eats grass like a cow, | 15 Bury them all in the dust together; shroud their faces in the grave. |
16 but what strength there is in his body, and what power there is in his muscles! | 16 Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you. |
17 His tail stands up like a cedar, and the muscles in his legs are strong. | 17 "Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. |
18 His bones are as strong as bronze, and his legs are like iron bars. | 18 What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his belly! |
19 The most amazing of all my creatures! Only his Creator can defeat him. | 19 His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit. |
20 Grass to feed him grows on the hills where wild beasts play. | 20 His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. |
21 He lies down under the thorn bushes, and hides among the reeds in the swamp. | 21 He ranks first among the works of God, yet his Maker can approach him with his sword. |
22 The thorn bushes and the willows by the stream give him shelter in their shade. | 22 The hills bring him their produce, and all the wild animals play nearby. |
23 He is not afraid of a rushing river; he is calm when the Jordan dashes in his face. | 23 Under the lotus plants he lies, hidden among the reeds in the marsh. |
24 Who can blind his eyes and capture him? Or who can catch his snout in a trap? | 24 The lotuses conceal him in their shadow; the poplars by the stream surround him. |
23 | 23 When the river rages, he is not alarmed; he is secure, though the Jordan should surge against his mouth. |
24 | 24 Can anyone capture him by the eyes, or trap him and pierce his nose? |

The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) has proposed the continuation of a half-cent sales tax beginning in 2005, the proceeds of which would be spent on a wide range of transportation measures for Maricopa County. Public transit plays a key role in the plan, with about 14 percent of sales tax revenues dedicated to the construction of light rail in the Valley and 16 percent dedicated to various forms of bus transit.
MAG's public transit plans deserve close scrutiny. Use of urban public transportation systems has been in decline since the end of World War II, when public transit provided 50 percent of urban travel. Last year, only three percent of urban travel in America was provided by public transit. This decline has occurred despite prodigious government efforts to prevent it. Governments now spend 30 to 40 times as much on public transit as for roadways. But evidence suggests that transit is not the most effective use of public transportation dollars.
Of all the options in the public transit mix, light rail deserves the most scrutiny. Because it requires its own special track, it lacks the flexibility of buses, which use existing city streets. And because tracks would be constructed on existing city streets, light rail in the Phoenix region is actually projected to increase traffic congestion. Furthermore, in no city in America does light rail transit account for much more than one percent of urban person-miles of travel. The Phoenix light rail system is projected to account for only two-tenths of one percent of travel in the region.
The average cost of light rail per passenger-mile is around $1.50, almost double the cost of bus transit, and five times the cost of automobile transportation per vehicle-mile. On average, taxpayers pay nearly 90 percent of the cost of light rail passenger travel, considerably more than for all other transit modes. Worst of all, light rail would do almost nothing to relieve traffic congestion. Because 80 percent of new light rail passengers in Maricopa County would be former bus passengers, light rail would remove less than one car in 1,000 from traffic.
Instead of squandering taxpayer money on light rail, the Valley should focus transit dollars on bus transit. Better yet, the Valley should work to expand freeways and improve the efficiency of freeway use through measures such as congestion pricing.

Gary woman admits union embezzlement
BY Teresa Auch Schultz firstname.lastname@example.com April 5, 2013 11:56AM
Updated: May 7, 2013 6:08AM
A Gary woman is admitting she embezzled at least $1,000 from a Merrilville-based union, according to a plea agreement filed Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Hammond.
Tracey R. Tigner, 41, says in the agreement that she stole the money from the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades Local 460 from August 2009 to December 2011.
Court records have not said how much she embezzled.
Tigner agrees in the plea deal to pay restitution to the union.
She faces up to five years in prison on the count, although federal attorneys will recommend she serve the minimum of federal sentencing guideline recommendations, which will be set later.
Her change of plea hearing is set for April 19.

This is the number 47PG6-212050 also can someone point me in the direction for parts for this model. I also found made in japan stamped on the block help please. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ohh yeah its definitely a Suzuki. Does it look like this? This is a two cycle that is missing the starter but you should get the point. |
yes it looks like the one in the picture .can you point me in the directoin to get some parts please like the air filter and operators manuals |
Manual is at Toro.com and since you didn't mention it being attached to a mower use one of these #'s for mower reference...22040 you may have to dig but there is a comprehensive manual for the engine. I printed it and could make you a copy and mail it to you if you can't find it..(I live in Northern KS) Send me an e-mail. As for parts, I like RCPW but shipping stinks... Or, any descent Toro dealer still can get air filters etc. Internal engine parts are VERY expensive for the Suzuki though...you've been warned. Luckily they are a very tough reliable engine that will outlast any LB engine by three. heres a link you the filter you need. |

According to my spreadsheet, the 47PG6-1 Engine was fitted to Toro 16202C Side discharge, Push Mower. Date of Mfg 1987. If you use 22040 as suggested above, only some of the parts will interchange. 16202C is a Homeowner machine without any form of CPSC blade control, while 22040 is a Commercial Self Propelled with BBC. 16202C does come up on Toro website and most, but not all parts show as available. |
"If you use 22040 as suggested above, only some of the parts will interchange. 16202C is a Homeowner machine without any form of CPSC blade control, while 22040 is a Commercial Self Propelled with BBC." No I think you are wrong...I own a 22040 and there is NO BBC on a 22040. If you want to look at bbc's look at a 22043. I own and use both. As for the differences in the engine...there are none. There are also no CPSC blade controls whatsoever on a commercial Toro 22040 as well. |
Thanks for all the answers I found the engine at a small engine repair shop sale the owner passed away.There was no deck with it now I just need to know what parts I need to attach a blade to the engine because all my crank has on it is threads at the bottom and a keyway at the very top. Can someone please send me pictures and part numbers of the pieces I will need so I can see what they look like. The engine is going to go on a 16 inch Sears push mower. |

WARWICK, R.I. -- The state Public Utilities Commission has approved a rate increase for customers who buy electricity from National Grid. The board on Friday completed action that will see rates rise 12.1 percent for the typical Rhode Island household, starting on Jan. 1.
The "overwhelming majority" of the increase, the utility said, comes from a rise in the cost of wholesale production of electricity - costs that National Grid does not control and which bring no profit to National Grid.
The 12.1-percent increase includes a minimal increase in the energy efficiency charge that the utilities commission also approved. Starting on the first of the year, the typical Rhode Island household's monthly bill is projected to rise from $78.91 to $88.47, an increase of $9.56, the company said.

Terror Suspects Had Additional Las Vegas Video, Surveillance of Casinos; Local Officials Not Told
By John Solomon, The Associated Press
Tapes of New York City landmarks, the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges and the World Trade Center -- as well as surveillance of casinos in Las Vegas, were filmed by al-Qaeda and found in a 2002 raid in Madrid. |
The department's terrorism unit "provided no help of any kind in this prosecution," the U.S. attorney's office in Detroit wrote in one of the memos, which detail bitter divisions between front-line prosecutors and their superiors in Washington.
The Detroit case ended last summer with the convictions, hailed by the Bush administration, of three men who were accused of operating a sleeper terror cell that possessed plans for attacks around the world.
A fourth defendant was acquitted, and only two of the four men originally arrested were convicted of terrorism charges.
Now the convictions are in jeopardy because of an internal investigation into allegations that defense lawyers were denied evidence that could have helped them.
Whatever the outcome, internal documents and more than three dozen interviews with current and former officials detail how the differences between Washington and the field office kept evidence from being shown to jurors.
"We were butting heads vigorously with narrow-shouldered bureaucrats in Washington," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Convertino. He is the lead Detroit prosecutor who is now under investigation in Washington.
"There was a series of evidence, pieces of evidence, that we wanted to get into our trial that we were unable to do. Things that would have strengthened the case immeasurably and made the case much stronger exponentially," Convertino said.
Prosecutors obtained a videotape showing that an al-Qaida cell broken up by Spanish authorities in 2002 in Madrid had video surveillance of the same American landmarks that were found on a video with the Detroit cell.
Justice officials declined comment, citing a partial gag order the judge has imposed in the Detroit case. But internal memos show Washington criticized the Detroit prosecutors as "not adequately supervised" and providing "minimal" cooperation.
The Spanish and Detroit tapes show surveillance of casinos in Las Vegas, landmarks in New York, including the World Trade Center, and Disneyland in California. Both tapes showed nearly identical footage of security, information on how cars could access the landmarks, and other footage that could be useful for staging an attack.
Reached at home Sunday evening, Undersheriff Doug Gillespie said Las Vegas police had reviewed at length last year the videotape used in the Detroit prosecution, which included images of the MGM Grand and Disneyland.
"That appeared to only be a tourist-type video, and this is the first I'm aware of any references to other Las Vegas videotapes" held by possible terrorists, said Gillespie, the second-in-command of Nevada's largest law enforcement agency.
Agents with the Las Vegas field office of the FBI were unaware of a second videotape.
"We're well aware of the previous surveillance, and this may be similar footage to that," said Special Agent Dave Nanz, a spokesman for the office.
The undersheriff said police detectives assigned to the regional Joint Terrorism Task Force would seek a copy of the Madrid footage this morning.
"We will aggressively pursue any new information, and I would hope that our federal counterparts would allow us access to it to determine its validity," Gillespie said.
The trial in Detroit last year caused a dust-up between Las Vegas police and federal law enforcement after the government's key witness told jurors the four defendants were Islamic extremists who were planning attacks on Las Vegas, Disneyland, U.S. air bases and other targets.
Government witness Youssef Hmimssa, who delivered his testimony as part of a plea agreement, said one of the defendants referred to Las Vegas as the "city of Satan" and was disgusted by Muslims engaging in sinful behavior here.
Las Vegas police, and officials with the Las Vegas offices of the U.S. attorney and the FBI, were blindsided by Hmimssa's testimony, first learning of it in an April 2003 account published by the Review-Journal.
On the day the story appeared, Young blasted the Detroit offices of the FBI and the U.S. attorney for not notifying Las Vegas authorities before Hmimssa took the stand that he would testify that terrorists had targeted Las Vegas.
"They had information that could have a detrimental impact on a community 2,500 miles away, and I don't think they cared enough to share it, and that makes me angry," the sheriff said at the time.
The Spanish tape, which dated to 1997, included "footage of several potential targets of al-Qaida" and was carried by courier to al-Qaida leaders in Afghanistan, according to Spanish documents provided to U.S. authorities.
Prosecutors obtained the Spanish footage from a Justice Department terrorism expert weeks before the trial and created several slides that would identify for jurors the numerous similarities between the Detroit and Madrid videos.
"The Detroit cell and the Spanish tapes identify three identical targets for surveillance," said one of the slides, which jurors never saw. A different slide said the two tapes follow the al-Qaida training manual because "surveillance is inserted into seemingly innocent tourist videos."
The Spanish tapes show an al-Qaida operative panning the World Trade Center and shooting the skyline that the eventual Sept. 11 hijackers used to fly their planes into the towers. The operative even puts his arm around a famous statute outside the towers and around the statue of a bull near Wall Street.
Both tapes have extensive footage of Hollywood, Disneyland and Las Vegas casinos. "Let's go to the hotel since we finished filming the casinos and we made $100,000 tonight," the Spanish operative says on one of the tapes, according to transcripts made available by Spanish authorities.
Prosecutors were told by superiors they could not introduce the Spanish tape unless they went through a lengthy bureaucratic process, known as the Letters Rogatory, that establishes chain of custody for foreign evidence.
The process would take months to complete through diplomatic channels.
In another example of the prosecution being hindered, the FBI had learned before the trial that Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, al-Qaida's training camp chief, told interrogators after his capture that bin Laden had authorized an attack on the Incirlik air base in Turkey where U.S. military jets flew missions over Iraq for the past decade, Convertino said.
The interrogation was deemed important because the FBI found in the Detroit terror cell's apartment sketches of the same Turkish base, including flight patterns of U.S. jets. Al-Libi's testimony would have connected the Detroit defendants to a planned al-Qaida attack, Convertino said.
But al-Libi was "spirited off from Afghanistan to Egypt, and we were not able to interview him or use him as a witness," Convertino said.
Turkish authorities recently said that their evidence shows bin Laden authorized an attack on the base but later abandoned the plan because security was heightened. U.S. officials raised security at Incirlik within days of the Detroit discovery, Air Force officials say.
Other disputes among authorities reached high into the Justice Department.
The FBI had identified three witnesses -- a landlord, a Jordanian informant and a prison inmate -- who linked the Detroit cell members to the FBI's No. 27 listed al-Qaida figure, Nabil al-Marabh. The prosecutors wanted to charge al-Marabh as a fifth defendant.
But Deputy Assistant Attorney General David Nahmias balked. "My understanding is that the only connection between al-Marabh and your case was an apparent misidentification by a landlord," Nahmias wrote.
A few months later, the government deported al-Marabh to freedom in his home country of Syria.
Other memos show the chief of the organized-crime strike force in Detroit, Assistant U.S. Attorney Keith Corbett, challenged the judgment of Justice's terrorism chief, Barry Sabin.
"I see no reason to listen to petty bureaucratic complaints by people who will not and could not try the case," Corbett wrote. "Sorry if this response seems impolite, but I have had it with Barry Sabin."
When Washington evaluated the Detroit office as uncooperative after the trial, Detroit responded.
The Justice lawyer sent from Washington to help told his Detroit colleagues "he had no intention of participating in the trial" and refused to help when an urgent issue arose involving a witness and the State Department, the Detroit office wrote.
Meanwhile, in another al-Qaida link to Nevada, one of the dozen terrorism suspects arrested in Great Britain last week was charged by federal officials in Connecticut on Friday with setting up Web sites through servers in Connecticut and Nevada to raise money for the Taliban and Chechen rebels. Babar Ahmad's sites described how to smuggle cash into Afghanistan to fight U.S. forces in late 2001 by claiming it was for charity, according to a complaint unsealed Friday.
Ahmad is the cousin of Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan, who was arrested last month in Pakistan. Khan's computers carried surveillance of five financial buildings in New York, Newark and Washington and prompted the Department of Homeland Security to elevate the threat alert level to orange.

Christopher Adams
Inspired by his mother, a plant physiologist at Pennsylvania State University, Christopher has always been intrigued by science. Although originally a biology major at St. Mary's College of Maryland, he made the switch to biochemistry his junior year to learn the nitty-gritty molecular underpinnings of biological systems. Christopher is currently a senior and a member of numerous honors societies, including the Paul H. Nitze Scholars group, Phi Beta Kappa, and Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society.
For his final undergraduate research thesis, he is working on pro-drug synthesis in vivo through experimentation within cell cultures. Following graduation, he will continue to explore research at the National Institutes of Health within the Undiagnosed Diseases Program for two years. He plans on attending graduate school to pursue a PhD in a biomedical discipline.
In addition to his scientific interests, Christopher also greatly enjoys studying history, specifically Russian and American history. Involved in several extracurricular activities, he served as captain of the St. Mary's varsity soccer team. He is also an avid Frisbee golfer and board game enthusiast.
Nana is a senior Biochemistry major with a minor in Chemistry. She is involved in various extracurricular activities on campus, including dance, Gospel Choir, Student Senate, editor of Harambee Magazine, and a member of the Torch and Key Honor Society. Nana is currently researching triclosan resistant bacteria in a local watershed with the goal of sequencing the DNA of the resistant strains and gathering metagenomic data.Her future career goal is to work in the medical field as a physician. After graduation, Nana will be applying to medical school while continuing her community service and gaining experience in the workforce. Her hobbies include singing, reading novels, cooking, and riding roller coasters.
John Bettinger
John's interests in a career in scientific academia developed throughout his undergraduate career after he joined Dr. Lea Vacca Michel's lab at RIT in the fall of 2010. Over the years, John has been responsible for several different projects, many of them being intimately related to structural biology and biomolecular dynamics. One of the goals of the Michel lab is to develop an effective vaccine against the pathogenic bacterium nontypable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi). The goal of his first project was to determine the most immunogenic region in one of the leading vaccine candidates against NTHi, outer membrane protein P6. His current project is a collaborative effort with Dr. George Thurston (Physics) at RIT. The ultimate goal of this project is to create a mathematical model for the liquid-liquid phase separation of eye lens proteins involved in cataracts.
Being a part of the UAN has helped John greatly in his current research by giving him the opportunity to discuss his research and career goals with others in his field. Having found substantial success and enjoyment in his current research projects and activities, including the opportunity to present his research at several national and local conferences, John is convinced that pursuing a career in scientific research is truly what he wants to do with his life. He plans on pursuing his Ph.D. in chemistry at the University of Toronto in the fall.
Kimbria Blake
Kimbria has been interested in science for as long as she can remember. Part of this was due to her parents who always came up with different experiments to test at home, answered her questions about the world, and helped her with science fair projects. The other part was due to her need to understand the details behind everything, especially science-related problems. Taking a variety of science classes in high school, especially chemistry, microbiology, and anatomy, cemented Kimbria's interest in science. She decided to pursue a biochemistry degree at Rochester Institute of Technology and is planning on attending graduate school to earn a PhD in microbiology studying host-pathogen interactions.
Kimbria started research in Dr. Suzanne O'Handley's lab the summer before her freshman year at RIT. She is currently researching a protein from S. cerevisiae, known as Pho13. What is interesting about Pho13 is that it is similar to a virulence factor in S. aureus. Her lab hopes that by better understanding Pho13, they can elucidate the possible function of the virulence factor from S. aureus (and in turn unearth a potential novel antibiotic target). As a member of the UAN, Kimbria has had the opportunity to attend two ASBMB national meetings to present this research.
Kimbria also loves to knit, cook, and participate in many of the activities that her ASBMB club hosts during the year (Departmental BBQ's, outreach at the science museum, and selling Giant Microbes).
Adele Bubnys
Wesleyan University
Wesley Cai
Wesley first became interested in science during his junior year of high school. His father had bought him a chemistry set, and Wesley built a small table out of plywood to use as his lab space (which definitely would not have passed safety inspections). He performed all of the experiments that came in the set, keeping a notebook with his observations and results. This early scientific exploration led Wesley down the path towards research. He attained a position in a pharmacology lab during his high school senior year, which in turn led him to seek out a pharmacology lab during his freshman year at the University of Arizona. Ever since then, he has been elucidating the mechanism of action by which a potential anti-cancer drug exhibits its effects in renal cell carcinoma cell models.
Outside of research, Wesley has been the Colleges Against Cancer Chair of the Relay for Life Committee, Chemistry and Biochemistry Department Ambassador, mentor to several high school and undergraduate students, and President of the Arizona UAN chapter. This fall, he will begin his PhD studies in Yale's Biological and Biomedical Sciences program, with a focus on pharmacology. After receiving a PhD, Wesley hopes to enter academia and one day become a professor, so that he can fulfill his goals of both research and outreach. Being a member of UAN and the president of the Arizona UAN chapter has enabled him to lead the various scientific outreach endeavors his chapter undertakes, enriching his life outside of research.

Travel, History, and Cow Chips in America's Dairyland |
The Trojan Cow |
The first thing you notice is the cow. Like the great Trojan horse, the giant faux animal rolls down the street, barely clearing power lines, carrying a small army of children insider her belly. "We throw t-shirts and cow chips." "Have to watch out for the wires," said Slotty, describing the occupational hazards. "We find a farm that has the right kind of chips, beef cattle that are grass fed," said Slotty with the kind of confidence that only comes with experience. "If they're fed with corn, the chips are too watery and they dry out like newspaper and you can't throw em. Got to have a little texture to it, so grass fed works best. "The competitors are looking for a chip about six inches around and inch or so thick. They want some weight to it. They throw it overhand like a baseball then it starts to act like a Frisbee." Considering giving it a try? |

Client has tall kitchen wall cabinets where the sides are pulling away from the backs that are attached to the wall. These are supposedly 12 yr old quality cabs, but I don't know the mfr off-hand. Obviously a dangerous situation. Do you think the cabs have to be removed and repaired, or could they be emptied, then upper corner braces added, etc? With a crown molding top, I'm hoping for an in-place solution, though I suppose the face frames could be unscrewed and the cabs dropped and removed, then repaired. Thoughts? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I should have added that this problem pertains to a total of three (2) adjacent 24" tall cabs, with additional cabinetry on either side. I figure it's the connected face frames that has kept the whole think from falling thus far. They've already emptied them partly. |
I've never run across your issue but I can give you my take on what I would do. Since you have other cabinets that have not come apart and seem to be holding the separated ones from falling, I would consider those as defective as well. They will sooner or later do the same thing. As for wood working terminology, I am not a wood worker so I'll describe as best I can my thinking on the issue. It'll be interesting to see what other methods folks have that might be used. Using some 2x4's, I'd run one under all the front of the cabinets, push the cabinets back into place and prop the cabinets in place temporarily until the repair is done and then remove them. The other option, using L brackets is less sightly (inside the cabinets) but should work too. |
- Posted by NuGardnrInNc (My Page) on Wed, Feb 9, 11 at 23:02
With multpile cabinets being connected and the fact all of them will probably fail eventually I would opt for the pull down. It's more work, but doing things right always is, it's just a matter of getting the homeowner to understand that. So yeah pull down, rebuild, use lots of glue (just don't make a mess), and use some 1/2 or 3/8 plywood triangle to stiffen it if you want, but if you glue the sides better it shouldn't be much of an issue. |

About Our Rescue Group:
Tails of Courage is a non-profit animal rescue organization committed to rescuing dogs from shelters. We are entirely funded by donations and depend on volunteers.We do not have a shelter or boarding facility, but instead rely upon foster homes to shelter and nurture our furry friends until a loving forever home is found. We are always happy to answer any questions about adopting a new pet and will gladly provide any support you may need throughout the adoption process.
Each animal is tested, and upon meeting a series of criteria may be chosen for training as a therapy dog for a Soldier at no cost to the military member.
Our organization evaluates, tests, trains, qualifies, and assists therapy dog/handler teams in order to provide loving, nurturing and compassionate visitation in nursing homes, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, senior residences, schools, private homes, military care facilities, and other locations where emotional support dogs are needed for Americas active and veteran military.
Our mission is providing physical and emotional rehabilitation through pet assisted therapy. Our program objectives are as follows:
Honoring Americas Soldiers by providing support and encouragement to our service men and women in rehabilitation, through pet assisted therapy, offering hope and inspiration to them, as well as their families.
Nurturing, training, and caring for the special dogs that provide therapy or service.
Promoting and educating others through stories of healing, service, and courage exhibited by these animals, patients, or persons who have served our nation.

Our Adoption Process:
Each Applicant for a dog must submit a COMPLETELY filled out application to firstname.lastname@example.com. The application will be processed, and if approved, you will be invited to meet the dog. Only completely filled out applications will be considered. All of our dogs are in foster homes. While each applicant is different, and may not be subject to all of the following requirements, Tails of Courage reserves the right to any and/or all of the following for each applicant:A home visit done by Tails of Courage if local to our rescue, or another rescue local to your area.
We do adopt outside of Connecticut to families, but require each family, including all family members who will be responsible for the animal, to come to the adoption in Connecticut to meet the animal as well as to meet a member or members of our Board at the time of meeting the animal before an adoption is finalized. We do not transport animals to you.
Tails of Courage reserves the right to perform a public records background check on any applicant including but not limited to criminal, civil, and most importantly to check with the local animal control regarding any prior animal abuse or neglect charges.
In these tough financial times our rescue receives many owner turn-ins. Verification of employment and financial ability to care for the animal are required with each adoption.
All other animals in the home MUST be altered and up to date on all vaccinations, unless Tails of Courage is provided a written statement from the Veterinarian for noncompliance based on medical purposes.
We do adopt to first time dog owners. It is important when adopting a dog to research and choose a Veterinarian. Prior to any adoption, all adopters must have a chosen Veterinarian with a scheduled appointment for the animal. Tails of Courage may follow up on the scheduled appointment.
All dogs must be licensed in the towns in which they live. Responsible pet owners are careful to register their pets annually. Tails of Courage reserves the right to require proof of registration of your pet following any adoption.

I will soon be replacing some interior doors that do not need to lock. The old doors have mortise locksets with a skeleton key and a face plate about 7" x 2.25".
Side note: The doors aren't worth saving. Stripping off the many layers of paint and varnish would be too expensive to send out ( I think over $300 each), too much work to do myself, and the end product would be nothing special. Some old homes were built with high quality items that are worth saving. My old house was build by someone of more modest means. I would like to keep the old look of these locksets but not spend big $ on new replacements. The existing locksets are quite worn, most of the copper plate has worn off and they have their share of paint on them. Does anyone know of an inexpensive replica of that style available anywhere. I'd like to believe someone has made up modern lockset that fits in a standard round hole with a faceplate that simulates the old rectangular plate but with a fake keyhole just for looks. Genuine replacement mortise locksets are too much $$. I could mortise new doors and install the old locksets but they don't look nice anymore. I imagine having them re-plated would also be too much $$. Any ideas or similar experiences? |

I checked Rejuvenation hardware out. They have some wonderful items. But... at $120-160 each they are more than I would like to afford for this project. Any other sources that are less expensive? Has anyone tried to send the existing hardware out to be re-plated? Thanks |

Any idea how to get rid of a skunk that keeps digging holes to get under my porch ? I tried the amonia soaked sponge but he just dug a new hole next to the old hole. This might not be the correct forum catagory for such a question ? If not could someone point me in the right direction before it settels in for a long Pa. winter ? thanks much |

IF it isn't a home disaster, it's one waiting to happen so why not post it here! LOL Did you do a search in this thread? I think I remember some discussion here a while back. YOu could try trapping the thing, but it's risky. You can try killing it's food supply by spraying for grubs. One web site recommended a water scarecrow that sprays water at the intruder that it detects with some sort of sensor. I don't know about this either. If it sprays back you'll be smelling the aftermath for weeks! I also have heard of a one way door that you can put in that allows the skunk to leave but not get back in. Supposedly you can keep them from coming back by digging a trench around your porch or whatever, lining it with wire mesh, and backfilling on top of it. This is just what I've seen in searching about other critters so none of these methods is necessarily guaranteed. Good luck though.... |

Had the same problem about 15 years ago. Sprinkle the area and under the porch liberally with moth balls. They hate the smell and the balls did not damage any foliage around the steps. And get ahold of your pest control office and arrainge for a trap. Once they are trapped in a proper one they cannot raise their tails to spray, and they can be safely removed from the area. Rose |

JAMES LOWES is taking the positives from yesterday's defeat to Warrington Wolves, insisting he is relishing the challenges ahead.
Coach Lowes, who took charge of his Bradford Bulls for the first time yesterday, saw his side finish strongly at the Halliwell Jones Stadium – in a 50-24 defeat.
Slow starts to the first and seconds halves ultimately proved the difference but the Bulls boss says he witnessed plenty of desire.
"I learned quite a lot but it is not all doom and gloom," said Lowes, who is being proudly sponsored by UK Swim Stars.
"We were beaten by a very good side who put sides to the sword early on and they did that to us at the start of each half.
"There is plenty to be optimistic about, though, the boys showed plenty of fight and we looked very good with the ball in hand.
"We are in a battle – at the foot of the table – but we are ready for it."
The Bulls trailed 16-6 at the break, with a late Brett Kearney try providing hope of a comeback.
But Warrington made a scintillating start to the second period, running in four tries – in the space of nine minutes.
Bradford refused to surrender, though, with Adrian Purtell, Tom Olbison and Jay Pitts all grabbing consolation scores, while Luke Gale landed four conversions from as many attempts.
"We made a few decent breaks and there are things to work on," added Lowes, who took over the Bulls reins last week.
"I am very much looking forward to the challenge, as are the boys, so let's see where we are in a month's time.
"We will fight all the way to our last game, irrespective of our position.
"We played some good stuff but there are some massive areas we need to work on and that has not changed.
"There is no quick fix and I am not pleased, because we got beat in a rugby match, but it is all about putting things right. We will be trying to do that in the weeks and months ahead."
Lowes' men return to First:Utility Super League action on Sunday, taking on Catalan Dragons at the Provident Stadium (KO 3.00pm).
