I know there are services where you can have your bank send money to pay your bills each month. I do have that set up for my car payment. My mortgage and utilities directly bill my checking account, which is going at it from the other side. Most of my other bills are automatically charged to my credit card, and I go online to the credit card web page to have them draw money from my bank account.
I've never had anyone try to charge me for letting them draw money from my checking account, or to charge my credit card. Yes, it requires that you keep an eye on things, but I have all of my credit card, mortgage, and bank accounts online so I can check them easily. I must save 10 stamps a month which is $4.90, plus the trouble to get them in envelopes, to the mailbox, and hoping they arrive on time. Are there any other tricks you use to keep your ever-increasing pile of billing in line? Kris |
Follow-Up Postings:
I still like to see the paper bills. I want to be able to review them and see how many kilowatt hours of electricity I used,how much I spent at Macy's, etc. I then use my free on-line bank account to make the payments. My bank will arrange payments up to 60 days in the future, or a set amount each month if you prefer. For example, I locked in a contract with my heating oil company to deliver home heating oil for $2.49 a gallon until May 2008. Then I go back to regular billing. I save 41 cents postage with each payment. The only bills I still pay with paper checks are my medical bills. Unfortunately, both huuby and I have chronic illnesses , so we have a lot of medical bills. I want those cancelled checks as a permanent record for tax return purposes. |
Where do you live that it is still possible to get cancelled checks? |
I just saw that my bank will show the cashed check with the statement. You can then print it out. I like that feature. I don't like my cancelled checks floating around in the mail. Too easy for fraudulent activities and totally unnecessary. |
Since I'm a senior, my bank will pay a modest amount of such bills directly from my account, with no monthly fee. But I need to bring the bill in, but they don't tear off the return portion. So I don't have to write a cheque, buy an envelope (though several enclose one) or pay postage. The penalty for having cheques returned is high - but not o much so, if it's an alternative to having an account with those monthly maintenance fees, for those costs add up, after a few months only. But most seniors can get that kind of services without a fee at many financial institutions. ole joyful |

A New Meat for Your Grill
There's nothing that says "summer" to me more than a backyard barbecue—I absolutely love them. Unfortunately for me, I don't have any outdoor space, so I have to rely on the few people I know who actually do have access to a grill—usually on a rooftop, very occasionally in a yard. So when a friend recently invited me to a barbecue on his building's roof, I was all over it.
I made two side dishes—a corn salad with basil, jalapenos, and red peppers and this amazing Chickpea and Raisin Salad from Real Simple (it got raves from everyone, and I'm not just saying that because I work here). I also brought along some bison steaks sent to me by High Plains Bison I'd been meaning to try. Why not just toss those on the grill, I thought.
Because bison is so lean, it only needs a short cooking time. Someone threw the filets on the grill, and in a few minutes they were on the table. Curious, we all cut off a piece and tried it. The bison was absolutely melt-in-your mouth delicious—tender, rich, flavorful, and juicy. Luckily, it had been cooked to a perfect medium-rare—overcooking makes the meat tough and stringy. Everyone was blown away by how tasty it was. Even better, bison is actually healthier than beef or pork–it has less saturated fat and cholesterol, and fewer calories.
So next time you're thinking of grilling up some steaks, consider bison instead. I'll definitely be experimenting with burgers, steaks, and sausages this summer. Assuming people keep inviting me to their barbecues.
What's your favorite food to grill?

Purchased the stand as an assistive aid for my limited desktop space. As a developer I need constant ready access to my test units and this stand is perfect because it fits all sizes of tablets (not just iPads.) The base allows me to keep the cable out of my way and always nearby.
Also the fact that the base has a narrow channel in it makes it perfect for keeping other cables off of the floor while those devices are disconnected. I have and would recommend this stand to anyone.

This is a great product. I use it to keep my iPad Air on my nightstand to watch movies. It's easy to adjust and very stable. Better than any stand I've ever used.
Posted by KjK on 19th Jun 2014
Well built and very stable. I have it set up next to my computer for viewing files and eBooks. I suggest also purchasing the Grapple to hold the iPad securely to the stand.

Initially purchased ThoughtOut's "Stabile iPad" stand and was really impressed by it, but I quickly realized that I had incorrectly purchased the wrong stand as I was expecting the stand to be able to pivot (i.e, the "Stabile PRO Pivoting iPad" stand). As a result, I called ThoughtOut and told them of my mistake and they promptly took care of making the proper exchanges for which I was happy to pay the additional fee. (BTW, make certain whether you want the stand to have the pivoting ability or not so that you make the proper selection of stand and not do as I did.)
Then not too long thereafter, having really been impressed with the quality of the stand and the ability to turn the tablet to whatever orientation was desired, I purchased another Stabile PRO Pivoting iPad stand. My mistake was to take this stand to my folks' house. Needless to say, the Stabile PRO Pivoting iPad stand never returned as my folks' are now enjoying it with their tablet.
On a side note, I also had another mistaken issue with the stand, but ThoughtOut's customer service was 'Tops' and quickly took care of my issue (which really wasn't an issue) and again, made me a happy consumer. These guys will work with you to do what it takes to make you a happy customer. Highly recommend them.
Now just the other day, there was a price drop on the units, so I picked-up yet another Stabile PRO Pivoting iPad stand. I took this one to work, and the folks there are really impressed with the quality and flexibility of the stand too. I think some of my fellow cohorts might be ordering themselves a Stabile PRO Pivoting iPad stand as well.
Another aside, make certain to buy the Grapple S3 accessory for each of your stand(s) as the Grapple S3 secures the iPad/tablet to the stand in case, and in case the pivot is tipped too far, it will prevent the tablet from falling off of the stand and possibly getting damaged. It is well worth the investment and peace of mind.
One last note, I also use this stand when taking photos of my old LP album covers which I then attach the photos to my MP3 songs within my digital music collection. This stand has proven very useful for a lot of 'hobbyist' needs, i.e., it holds items for eBay/Craigslist auction photos, album art covers, etc. Don't just think this is only meant to hold a tablet -- be creative! It has many potential uses.

Ordered two and took them to a trade show. They were much easier to transport than I was expecting, looked very sleek and professional, and were incredibly stable. We had two different size iPads, 4th generation and the Air, both had cases and both fit great.
Posted by Billy j slone on 31st Jan 2014
Best stand I ever had. Thanks
Posted by Scott on 16th Jan 2014
I am very pleased with the quality of this stand. Very heavy. Does not move on counter.
Posted by Unknown on 6th Dec 2013
My wife has used the original stand to read recipes on her iPad. The only trouble was the viewing angle was wrong when she was cooking.
The new stand with the pivoting head adds that functionality without sacrificing the stability of the product.
Great stuff!
Posted by Eusal5 on 28th Aug 2013
The "Stable PRO Pivoting iPad Stand" is the best iPad stand EVER. It is a solid piece of art that holds my iPad 5 perfectly in multi-positions on my desk or night table. No muss, no fuss, right out of the box. I never have to worry about slippage or collapse with this stand. Rock solid, beautiful and functional. Love it!
Posted by ES on 5th Jun 2013
Considering how many products are poorly designed and built to fall apart,
the Stabile PRO deserves a 5 star rating. It's solidly built, stylish, flexible and stable making it the perfect iPad stand.
ThoughtOut company's customer service also gets a 5 star rating. My unit developed a hairline crack in the black pivot nut which made it difficult to tighten the cradle. I contacted the company and received an email from Brandi saying they would extend my warranty and fix the problem. The entire process was handled quickly and Brandi kept me informed every step of the way.
My stand arrived today good as new and I realized how much I missed not having it. When a company backs up a superb product with great customer service, they deserve recognition.
*** Thought Out Company Note: All units since early 2012 have been manufactured with a new process for the pivot nuts, this issue no longer exist. ***

Here's the story I filed last night:
In the end, Bev Smith's preeminent playing career at Oregon didn't translate into coaching success with the Ducks.
Oregon cut ties with its eighth-year head coach Monday, four days after the completion of the worst season in school history. Smith's expired contract will not be renewed, she was told in a Monday morning meeting with UO athletic director Pat Kilkenny.
Players were informed of the decision in a separate meeting with administrators just after noon.
"Bev is just such an amazing person off the court, I'm really sad to see her go," UO junior guard Taylor Lilley said. "I really appreciate everything she's done for the university, the way she's represented it so well, especially through the hard times. She's always stuck behind us and with us.
"But I understand the decision of the administration. That's a business decision that they had to make, and I respect it."
The Ducks went 123-121 in eight seasons under Smith, who remains the school's No. 2 all-time scorer and leader in rebounds and steals from her playing career, from 1978-82. Smith served as a coach for 15 years in Italy and from 1997-2001 with the national team in her native Canada, but she never found consistent success with the Ducks.
A fan base smarting from the controversial departure of former coach Jody Runge generally embraced Smith initially, but Oregon's gritty, defense-first style and inability to retain top in-state recruiting talent soured the relationship, driving down attendance in Smith's final season by more than half from their peak during the Runge era.
"That's part of what got us to this point," Kilkenny said. "We feel that we have a great fan base here, and for some reason or another their interest levels have been waning over the last several years."
Smith declined repeated interview requests over the course of the day Monday. Click here for the complete story.

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month
By: Melinda Ingram, Lakes Area Child Advocacy CenterPosted: Saturday, April 06, 2013
Before today is over, three children will die from being abused. At least one will be a baby. The other two probably haven't yet celebrated their 5th birthday.
More than 500 other children will be physically abused today, and another 250 will be sexually abused: before today is over, hundreds of children will suffer painful cruelty or sexual violation. Tomorrow, it starts all over again.
Don't think this only happens "in other places"; these things are happening around us, to children in our area.
April is Child Abuse Awareness Month and BEING AWARE is the key to protecting our children. Here are some facts and tips to increase your awareness:
When it comes to child sexual abuse, the "stranger danger" rule no longer applies: 90% of all child sexual abusers are people the child knows, trusts and usually lives with.
More than 80% of sexual abuse cases happen in one-adult/one-child situations. Be very aware of who your child spends one on one time with.
Sexual offenders find excuses to be alone with children so they can touch them inappropriately. They "befriend" the child with gifts and candy, and often seek out lonely, insecure children. They gradually break down the child's resistance to touch, so the child often is confused when the touching turns sexual.
They often try to make the child feel responsible so they won't tell about inappropriate touches that are happening. They may tell the child "You know you like the way I touch you", "If you tell your mom, she won't love you anymore.", "No one will believe you."
Sexual predators take advantage of a child's natural sense of trust to find opportunities to molest them. However there are many people who love children and enjoy being with them who are not offenders. Remember, sexual abuse should not be confused with healthy, affectionate physical contact between an adult and child. Children need healthy, loving physical contact to be emotionally healthy kids.
Here are some good ways to help reduce the risk of something happening to your child:
When your child is involved in youth-related activities, make sure parents can drop in or observe activities at any time, and that background checks are done on people working with children.
Drop in unexpectedly when your child is alone with any adult or older child.
Be very careful who you leave your child with. Ask yourself, "would I leave my ATM card or credit card with this person?" Any doubts? Think about who you leave your child with.
Monitor your child's internet use.
Teach your child at an early age the correct names for private body parts. Teach your child that their body is special and private, and begin talking to them about what touches are OK and what to do if someone touches them in a way that is not OK.
The average age for the onset of sexual abuse is 4 years old. Many children don't understand that the touching is wrong until it has been happening over time. Several years may pass before the child feels they can tell someone. It's usually hard for a child to tell, so when a child does report abuse, it's important that from that point on they feel protected and safe.
As the child's caregiver, know how to respond if your child tells you something has happened to them. Stay outwardly calm and assure them they were right to tell you. Don't ask a lot of questions, let them tell you. Then it's your responsibility to report the concern. The Missouri Child Abuse Hotline is 1-800-392-3738.
When a concern of child abuse is hotlined in our area, the Lakes Area Child Advocacy Center is contacted by a Children's Division worker to set up a time for the child to come to the center.
The Lakes Area Child Advocacy Center is located in Claybough Plaza Mall in Branson West. It is a non-profit agency that provides a child friendly environment for children who are victims of sexual or physical abuse to tell about the abuse to a trained interviewer.
The interviews are video recorded and used to help investigate these child abuse cases. The Center also provides medical exams for these children by a trained nurse examiner.
Our Advocacy Center serves children from Stone and Taney counties, and sees about 200 children each year. The Center also provides each family with referrals for counseling, medical follow-up if needed, and other community resources.
The goal of the Center is to make sure the child feels respected and safe, and to help the family start healing from the crisis.
Even though you're doing all you can to protect your children, the reality is that all children are at risk, and even the most "protected" children can become victims. Be informed and prepared now so you can respond the best way if something does happen to your child. The way a child heals and emotionally recovers from a situation of abuse, depends on the way the adults in their life react and respond.

Digital Marketing Agency and Website Design London
A marketing agency is a business that is geared towards the management of its client's advertisement campaigns in addition to sales promotion and branding. Such firms are generally sovereign from the businesses they cater to and may choose to specialize in a host of sub-categories such as on-premises, out-of-home, broadcast, print and online advertising. The clientele ranges from profit-seeking corporations to non-governmental organizations to government agencies. Upon entering the realm of online advertising, the firms be termed as a digital marketing agency since that becomes their forte.
Apart from being one of the command centers of global economy, London is home to two of the biggest marketing agencies by revenue. It is home to more 8,174,100 potential consumers and the entire online marketing sector has the opportunity to cater to one of the most exclusive markets in the world. One digital marketing agency London is one of the best examples of the creative talents and potential that the industry possesses. They have helped create, develop and sustain the online presence of numerous companies ranging from oriental themed hotel chains to cosmetic products.
This genre of marketing agencies takes part in numerous activities such as the management of overall online presence, social media marketing, online advertisements and website design London is so famous for. However, the companies may also choose to specify their area of expertise even further and create a niche market for themselves. This benefits not only the individual firm but also the entire marketing industry as there is stiffer competition which leads to greater motivation and ultimately innovation. This is the main driving force behind the development of the advertising and marketing industry that is still in its incubation stage as compared with other product and service related aspects.
This leads to the creation of more firms dealing within the board category of digital marketing even though they are much smaller in terms of their size since they do not cater to the all the components of an online marketing strategy and therefore, do not require in-housing of different departments. Moreover, they may work as freelancers that outsource their talents to both, the individual customer as well as bigger marketing firms. There exist countless subcategories that have been mentioned before such as website design and presence on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter that can be attended to.
Website design agency London based along with along with firms based out of New York in the United States and Tokyo in Japan are considered the pioneers in terms of creativity and its execution. Website designing is one of the basic pillars of any online marketing campaign and contribute greatly towards the business's image which has a substantial impact on the generation of revenue. Therefore, the company's own website is of tremendous importance since it conveys to both consumers and competitors alike, the firm's objectives, corporate culture, magnitude of operations as well as its position in the free market food chain.

Penelope Spheeris
Penelope Spheeris | |
Penelope Spheeris after an interview with The Diamondback student newspaper.
Born | New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S. |
December 2, 1945
Occupation | Film director, film producer, screenwriter |
Years active | 1968–present |
Penelope Spheeris (born December 2, 1945) is an American film director, producer and screenwriter. She is best known as a documentary film director whose works include the trilogy titled The Decline of Western Civilization.[1] She has also directed feature films, including Wayne's World, her highest grossing film.[2]
Early life[edit]
Spheeris was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, to a Greek immigrant father who owned the Magic Empire Shows circus carnival and was a side-show strong man. Her mother was a ticket taker for a traveling circus side show.[3] Spheeris is a sister of singer Jimmie Spheeris[4] and a first cousin of musician Chris Spheeris,[4] and the Greek-French director Costa Gavras,[4] who she says makes her consider that there is something to the genetic aspects to the job description.[4] Spheeris spent her first seven years traveling around the American South and American Midwest with her father's carnival.[5] She majored in film and has a Master of Fine Arts degree in Theater Arts from UCLA in Los Angeles, California.[6]
Spheeris launched her career by producing short subjects for comedian Albert Brooks, many of them being highlights in the first season of the television series Saturday Night Live. Her first feature film was The Decline of Western Civilization (1981), a punk rock documentary that she produced as well as directed. She followed up with The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, this time about the Los Angeles heavy metal scene of 1988, with footage and interviews of legendary metal bands such as Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Megadeth and Motörhead. She later returned to the streets of Los Angeles and the punk rock scene in 1998 for the documentary The Decline of Western Civilization Part III. She was offered the chance to direct This is Spinal Tap, but declined as she was unwilling to take part in making fun of music she genuinely enjoyed.[7]
In addition, she worked as a writer for the television series Roseanne (1988-1997). In the 1990s, Spheeris directed Wayne's World, a comedy based on Mike Myers's skits from Saturday Night Live. The movie grossed over $183 million and became a popular hit. She directed the Wayne's World music video work for Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", which earned a Grammy Award nomination.[6] She had difficulty working with Myers, while acknowledging him as "profoundly talented," and in an Entertainment Weekly article stated she believes Myers dissuaded Paramount Pictures from hiring her for the sequel.[8]
In 1996, she directed We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll, a documentary about the Ozzfest, produced by Sharon Osbourne.[6] It explores life on the road.[6]
Other films Spheeris has directed include The Beverly Hillbillies; The Little Rascals (for which she co-wrote the screenplay); the Chris Farley comedy Black Sheep; the Marlon Wayans-David Spade team-up Senseless;[6] and The Kid & I starring Tom Arnold.[6] In 2006, she was set to direct the still-unfilmed Gospel According to Janis, about Janis Joplin.[6]
In 2010, she directed the comedy Balls to the Wall.
The Portland Oregon Women's Film Festival named Spheeris its guest of honor for 2013.[9]

I've written in some detail before about long-term deals. We're not quite at the end of the first wave of deals, so we don't truly know what to expect when stars in their late-30s are making the same money they were in their mid-20s, and whether they remain a good investment, providing a competitive advantage to big-market teams.
To me, this is what makes the Shea Weber offer sheet so damn interesting. Weber and Ryan Suter were a powerful defensive pairing for the Nashville Predators. Individually, it's tough to tell the two apart but I remain convinced that Weber will still remain a very good force on an NHL blue line for four or five consecutive years and possibly more.
During those years, that's Philadelphia's Stanley Cup window. For a team like the Los Angeles Kings, paying guys like Jeff Carter or Mike Richards for several years, even if they have a downturn late in their career during the un-tradable portion of their contract, the investment will still have paid off as the team won a Stanley Cup.
And that's really what it's all about. The long-term deal pays the player a huge chunk of money up front, and sacrifices those middle-to-late years in favour of a value signing in the first few. No player doesn't come with a price, and the term "free agent" is a bit of a misnomer. If you're looking to trade for a star talent, you need to give up assets. If you're looking to sign one, you have to give up assets.
As it happens, the price for Weber for Philadelphia is four first round picks and $80M over the first six years of the contract. Since the deal will likely be signed without a no-trade clause, I have to think that location didn't factor too much into Weber's choice. The man wanted to get paid, and he will, and I'm in no moral position to disagree. That's $68M in bonuses and $12M in salary, so the Predators need cash to match the offer.
Here's a quote from Predators chairman Tom Cigarran repeatedly brought up by Preds' blog On The Forecheck:
We're not going to lose players because of money.
The only way we'll lose them is if there's some chemistry issue, or their grandmother lives in Montreal or something, the intangibles. But they know we're competitive and they know we're committed after this season, so we're in a really good place.
Already this season, the Predators have found that they couldn't take Suter back with a hometown discount. They lost Alexander Radulov to the KHL, another top six defenceman in Francois Bouillon (whose grandmother may live in Montreal) and have yet to fill any holes. We could be a few months, or even a year, from the start of the next NHL season so there isn't a rush, but you have to think that if you won't lose Weber for financial reasons, you can't possibly think that it's a good hockey decision to let him go. It sends a poor message to other potential players, one that the Predators aren't really interested in competing.
So they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. They can't show that they were simply outspent by Ed Snider and Paul Holmgren. Of the 16 NHL contracts that run 10-or-more seasons, three were signed by Holmgren and he signed a fourth to nine years. Danny Briere's 8-year deal was the first front-loaded, cap-circumventing deal.
Five of the 16 contracts make up unrestricted free agent deals. We have yet to see what sort of success Suter and Zach Parise will provide in Minnesota, but Marian Hossa's contract paid off with the Chicago Blackhawks, who was a key piece with the Hawks in their Stanley Cup run. Ditto for Ilya Kovalchuk, although the on-ice success of the New Jersey Devils may not out-weight their lingering financial issues. Kovalchuk also hits a run of six seasons where he will be paid at more than $10M per starting this fall, unless there is a salary rollback.
The last is Christian Ehrhoff, a long deal without a comically-high salary cap hit. The Buffalo Sabres wrote a lot of cheques last summer with an influx of money in the organization but it was spent in all the wrong places. Buffalo's ninth-ranked powerplay went from 19.4% to an 18th-ranked 17.0%, and their goals for per 60 dropped from seventh at 6.7 per 60 minutes of powerplay time to 17th at 5.8 per 60. Penalty-kill schemes improved last year and there was less scoring league-wide on the PP, but Buffalo fell even relative to the rest of the league, despite the addition of Ehrhoff.
The problem with the long-term UFA deals is that most of the evidence for their success or failure is anecdotal at this point. So few players change teams on long-term deals so it's hard to gauge the difference in the way teams adapt to the situation. Instead of length, what about the front-loaded contracts? The ones that are worth money ahead of term, for that I determined that contracts over $50M including salary and bonuses, regardless of term, were the ones that teams were risking.
By looking at James Mirtle's must-read post from Friday at the Globe and Mail website, of those 15 teams, seven were in the top ten in NHL revenue last season (Toronto, Calgary and Boston opted out) and two teams from the bottom 10 of the league in revenue opted in to a $50M+ deal (although Rick DiPietro's contract doesn't qualify as "front-loaded", it qualifies under my criteria as a big-ass cheque). The other is Carolina's Eric Staal.
So there is a certain amount of distribution between high-revenue and low-revenue teams. Not enough to make competition terrifically unstable: the Conference finalists last season were composed of one "top" team, two "middle" teams and one "bottom" team. As for playoff teams overall, distribution was mostly equal: seven "top" teams, five "middle" teams and four "bottom" teams. The Leafs, Canadiens and Flames were the three top revenue teams that failed to make it. Of those three, only Scott Gomez was signed to a $50M+ contract.
The sample size is a bit too low to make any sweeping conclusions, but we can say that last year, top revenue teams took up the bulk of both the big money deals (45%) and playoff spots (44%) compared to just 25% and 20% for the bottom-revenue teams. Those numbers sync up quite well, along with James' estimated NHL revenues: the top teams accounted for 46% of the money made by the NHL in 2010-11 and the bottom teams just 23%.
So maybe the current system works, depending on whether you think top revenue teams ought to be subsidizing the bottom revenue teams. Nashville's steps in the next couple of days will give us an indication as to whether the small-market teams can compete financially with the big-market teams in the current system, but the Shea Weber deal may be the last of its kind signed in the NHL, depending on what we see coming out of the upcoming collective bargaining agreement.

I am feelins so love deprived lately. Like I have nobody to lvoe in that way. Not just friend love. I really want a boyfriend but like I dont know ANY gay people who would go out woth me. I only knoew 3 and the one my age is taken and the two tohwers are 18 and 16....i just dont know what to do. i really want to meet new people. Im not sure how so does anybody know how? PLZ?
A city the size of Santa Monica should have some sort of after school youth drop-in for gay youth, no?
That said, there is no way to seek out boyfriends at the exclusion of friends. My life is clearly richer by not having discarded people who didn't want to date me but became good friends. Also, some guy who is 13-14 is "taken" already? I'm not sure I would rule him off the market for all your high school years based on that.
Even so, becoming his friend only expands your social network of gay friends. if you get to know him and he knows others, then you get to meet other people your age.
Everything is incremental. You can't go from no one to having a boyfriend as easily as you can meet people your age, make friends, and then at some point, someone you meet is someone you want to know a lot better.
I'm a total myspace whore (and by whore, I mean I use it to sleep with people, I'm not on it often), so ADD ME AS A FRIEND
I know exactly how you feel. When I was a teenager, I was sure that I would never ever find a boyfriend. I felt like my whole life was slipping by and I was missing out on what everyone else was enjoying. It's very painful and frustrating. One big advantage that you have now though is the internet. It isn't the same as having someone next door to smooch with, but at least you know that others are out there going through the same thing you are.
I don't see any Youth Organizations right in Santa Monica, but here's a list of most of the ones in California. I don't know California, so I'm not sure which ones, if any, are near Santa Monica. California Youth Org List
Another good website, besides this one of course, is the GYC. It has members from all over the world, maybe even some in your area.
Hang in there, my friend. I promise you, it gets better. I'm sure that's not much of a comfort right now, but it is the truth.
- Pat Nelson Childs
I agree with Jeff- try looking for a drop-in centre in ur area. I've been to one, it was lots of fun. We just hung out and chatted and got a free dinner :o) There are all kinds of teen/young adult support groups out there- ones for black queer youth, jewish kids, christian kids, homeless kids, trans kids, etc. Sometimes they have coffee house/open mike nights where u can perform poetry or music or whatever. Sometimes they have a "gay prom" thing where they'll rent out a hall or a big gym and everyone gets dressed up formally, and it's like a party to make it up for kids who couldn't go to real prom with their same-sex date. I bet ull have a blast. Dont be shy, dont worry about going there even if ur by urself, the kids and staff are generally super nice and freindly ppl.
hey, well i have the same exact problem, i can't meet anyone and i can't find any sort of youth group near me (i live in the valley)
I know exactly how you feel. The best sorta thing to do is get involved with a gay/lesbian association or an extra curricular activity of some sort. L:ike drama... It's hard to find good boys... *sigh* (pat pat)
Courage is contagious... be strong, and soon you won't be standing alone.
it seems as though at least for me, sig others just kind of pop up when youre not searching frantically for them. just chill out and theyll come along.

Find free and low-cost things to do with kids in Manhattan this July, including fun family shows in the parks, outdoor festivals and fairs, and new theater openings and museum exhibits.
Free and Fun Family Shows
Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players will headline Central Park Family Day, part of the SummerStage Kids series, which will host more than 95 FREE performing arts events this summer in parks throughout the city.
Put Down the iPad…
New York City is casually referred to as a playground for its inhabitants, but the Come Out & Play Festival takes the old adage and makes it quite literal. Now in its seventh year, the festival invites visitors to play unusual and innovative games in an outdoor public space, encouraging players to interact with the world around them (rather than a screen, the typical host to "gaming.") This year boasts two events (one evening and one daytime), including a field day on Governors Island featuring family-friendly games led by ESI Design. Ideal for kids ages 8-12 and the grown ups that hang out with them, all games will relate to this year's theme of "time travel." The games are chosen by submission, so there's a diverse new bunch every year. So leave the iPad at home, grab your running shoes, plan your strategies—and let the games begin! FREE!
Bastille Day? Oui, J'adore!
Vive la France! New York-based cultural center The French Institute Alliance Française will host its annual Bastille Day celebration in honor of French Independence on July 15, and food, festivities, and fun are in no shortage. The Kid's Corner will have plenty of activities for the little ones, such as face painting, arts and crafts, games, and a mime. Grownups can brush up on their French during a 30-minute workshop and sample an array of French wines and cheeses. The whole family will enjoy food from French restaurants and bakeries, live open-air musical performances from the Hungry March Band, and the perennial favorite, the French can-can dancers. Raffle prizes will be drawn throughout the afternoon, including a grand prize trip to France. FREE!
'Stand Tall' at the Theatre Festival
The David and Goliath story takes a contemporary turn in the pop/rock family-friendly musical Stand Tall. The biblical rivalry of remains unchanged, but now the epic battle is one of Guitar Hero. When wannabe rock star David is predicted to be the next king, Goliath can't stand by and watch as his crown is taken, setting the stage for their clash. Following a successful run in the UK, this rock musical is part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, the largest annual musical theater festival in the world, which showcases new musicals and emerging talents.
Get Tangled Up in the Outdoors
One of the city's longest-running outdoor festivals, Lincoln Center Out of Doors, boasts more than 100 free performances this year, including 17 premiere performances. The fest takes place across the plazas of Lincoln Center over the course of three weeks, hitting the city July 25 and running through Aug. 12. July 28 is Family Day, which offers an afternoon of circus and street performers, an interactive play, and amazing acrobatics. In Tangle (pictured), a huge, messy, fun, and interactive performance, kids and family members help create a bouncy playground by weaving colored elastic through 25 poles of different heights set on a large platform base. The Bindlestiff Family Cirkus will bring a quirky mix of vaudeville, circus, and sideshow with a variety of acts and performers, and the Chinese American Arts Council Acrobatic Group will perform From Chinatown with Love. It's the perfect blend of entertainment for an outdoor family day in the city. And it's FREE!
Spiders Alive!
The American Museum of Natural History's new exhibition, Spiders Alive!, which gives kids the chance to see arachnids up close, opens today and runs through Dec. 2.
Fun Family Events on Governors Island
It's summertime and the weather's groovy, which means it's time to take advantage of Governors Island. Why is this island better than all other islands? Well, you don't need a plane to get there (just take the free ferry from 10 South St.; see govisland.com for schedule), it's far cheaper than a tropical vacation, and it's the perfect spot for day trips with the whole family. Plus, there are endless family-centric events happening there all summer long—here's a sampling of this month's highlights.
Free Summer Sports Programs
On July 2, the City Parks Foundation kicks off its 2012 Summer Sports Program in more than 60 locations citywide. The program offers free youth tennis (ages 5-16), golf (6-17), and track and field (5-16) classes and provides free use of equipment. Sportsmanship, discipline, and self-esteem are emphasized along with the basic skills of the sport. The tennis and track and field programs culminate in a citywide competition at the end of the summer. To find a program near you, visit cityparksfoundation.org/sports.

Ok folks. I've become a turf junkie but I need a little advice. I hydroseeded last November with a rye, fescue, bermuda blend. (Obviously that was too late in the year for the Bermuda. Anyway, I have established a pretty good crop of Sahara burmuda in my lawn but I still have patches of fescue that that I must get rid of. What would you do this late in the growing season. see photos of my yard here:
http://s738.photobucket.com/albums/xx22/overtona/ 1. round up the fescue patches then topdress and seed.
Follow-Up Postings:
that much bermuda is going to be a full time job to keep looking good. It will take a yard junkie to get it done. Cut low and burn fescue out. |
- Posted by reelfanatic (My Page) on Mon, Aug 24, 09 at 17:31
Where in the world do you live where you seed cool and warm season grasses together in NOVEMBER? As far as establishing the Bermuda.... Cut low, often. The Nitrogen requirements of the Bermuda are such that the Fescue will burn out quickly....(within days, even) if 46-0-0 is applied, irrigated, and then cut low. |
- Posted by texas-weed 7A (My Page) on Mon, Aug 24, 09 at 23:43
Depends on how quick you want to get the job done. Too late in the year to plant Bermuda seed, but that is irrelevant. What I suggest is: 1. Immediately switch to Bermuda lawn care practice by mowing at ľ to 1-1/2 inches or as low as your mower can go twice a week. 2. Between now and 30 days before your first frost date fertilize every 30 days with 39-0-0 at a rate of 2.5 pounds of product for every 1000/ft2. 3. Once the Bermuda goes fully dormant this winter, spray anything green a couple of times during winter. Just make darn sure the Bermuda is DORMAT. 4. Next spring once the soil temps warm up to 70 in the daytime, seed the thin areas with more Sahara. |

"Excellent as written for muffins (raisins + walnuts added). I'll make them again and will experiment with previous reviewers' ideas of lowering the sugar, subbing applesauce for half the oil, and using part whole wheat flour. (At that point they're not really the same muffin--but good ideas nonetheless.)"
"Easy and good. I followed a previous reviewer's suggestion about sauteeing the onion/garlic in the oil before adding other ingredients. Either plain yogurt or milk works fine (it's good without, too, but the addition gives the soup a nicer body). I used garam masala instead of curry powder. Blending is essential."
"Yep--these are the real thing. I added a little cinnamon (I think just about anything tastes better with cinnamon)."
"LIKED. As the previous reviewer said, it's bland. I added a bay leaf, ground black pepper, oregano, and garam masala. Used olive oil instead of butter. Could easily add carrots to the onion/garlic/celery phase. Added spinach at the end to wilt into the soup and boost the nutrition. This is basic, excellent bean/ham soup."
"I enjoyed this very much (made exactly to recipe for my first try), but family not so enthusiastic. Not sure I would go through the trouble of making it again just to please myself--but I might! Prep time was longer than indicated, with a good bit of chopping."
"This was very good, and I will certainly try it again. I made it with a little "nest" of chopped onions under it so the chicken would not be sitting in grease; that worked pretty well, but a friend also suggested balls of tinfoil, which I think would work even better. This really does need to cook 8 hours, in my crockpot. I was surprised..."
"Excellent and well received by family. I added some Old Bay seasoning; used leftover Thanksgiving turkey (cut into chunks, added after the oven cooking step) rather than chicken. Definitely worth making again."
"What a great idea! I changed it a little, so I'm giving it 5 stars and telling what I did different. I left out the mushrooms; used a whole pepper instead of half. Also a red onion, instead of plain onion. I added 3 cloves garlic, sliced; fresh basil leaves, tucked between the layers; and fresh-ground pepper and oregano. I used a little mozzarella..."

I will be stopping at my step-mothers house and she has put some plants aside for me to bring. She is looking for epimediums and different primroses, such as doubles or candelabra. I don't know everything that she has put aside, but I will check your lists and see if there is something that I have that I can bring. She has several starts of a non-climbing clematis that I love, although I can't remember what color it is and some brunnera starts.

Follow-Up Postings:
I have an Epimedium in a gal pot for her. Maybe she'll share her Masterwort. Elaine |
Teresa, I can bring her Primula 'Velvet Moon' (dark red flowers, bronzy green foliage)....I think it's a Wanda type. It's in a gallon pot. Would she trade a Clematis for it? ~Lisa |
Thanks Elaine, I will make sure you get something special. I'm sure she will share her masterwort, if it has grown enough. If not, I found one on my deck, it is small, but dividable. Teresa |
Teresa, It sounds like your Masterwort is just getting starting. Please don't divide. I've tagged the Epimedium for your Mom. No trade necessary. Elaine |
If you still have them, I would like a clematis, and a Brunnera if it is Jack Frost. Please see my list under Have Plants for Brinnon Trade (Mar 27th) for anything you may want. Balraj |
Balraj, I will see what I can do. I won't know how many of the clematis there will be until I get to Sequim. I believe that Brunnera are Jack Frost, but will make sure of that as well. Teresa |

The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.
MoreThe light in the Red Centre—named for the deep color of its desert soils—has a purity and vitality that photographs only begin to approach. For tens of thousands of years this vast desert territory in the south of the Northern Territory has been home to Australia's Aboriginal people. Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is a great symbol in Aboriginal traditions, as are many sacred sites
among the Centre's mountain ranges, gorges, dry riverbeds, and spinifex plains.
The essence of this ancient land is epitomized in the paintings of the renowned Aboriginal landscape artist Albert Namatjira and his followers. Viewed away from the desert, their images of the MacDonnell Ranges may appear at first to be garish and unreal in their depiction of purple-and-red mountain ranges and stark-white ghost gum trees. Seeing the real thing makes it difficult to imagine executing the paintings in any other way.
