HTTN Vancouver Canucks Wallpaper – Roberto Luongo (February 2012)
Written on February 2, 2012 at 07:52, by HTTN
It's February, everyone! Here's what you need to know about this month if you're a Canucks fan.
There are 14 games on the schedule. If you have a family or if someone is asking for (meaning demanding) more quality time, we help you prioritize.
First, some good news: there is no dreaded Valentines Day game this year. Yep, the list of restaurants you can take him/her to just expanded from places with TVs to cnaclassesnow.net places that charge 3 times as much for dinner. Also, when he/she asks halfway through dinner, "Are you watching the game or are you listening to me?!" you don't have to make up any crap about how you're good at multitasking.
(Hope you noticed the gender neutrality above. I'm trying my best here.)
Must see TV:
- Detroit Red Wings, Feb. 2
- Calgary Flames, Feb. 11 (7 p.m., CBC Hockey Day In Canada!)
- Toronto Maple Leafs, mycoplasmas.org Feb. 18 (4 p.m. CBC!)
- Detroit Red Wings, Feb. 23
- New Jersey Devils, Feb. 24 (rare Eastern Conference sighting)
The jury's out on these ones:
- Nashville Predators, Feb. 7 (5 p.m.)
- Nashville Predators, Feb. 21 (5 p.m.)
- Phoenix Coyotes, Feb. 13 (7 p.m.)
- Phoenix Coyotes, Feb. 28 (6 p.m.)
Another thing you might notice on the calendar this month is February 29. The last time one was sighted was 2008. Conclusion: Feb. 29s are pretty stiffn.net rare, and no one really knows for sure when we'll see one again. My advice: enjoy and savour it.

T. Brinda who shunned publicity in her lifetime evolved her own style of music
She belonged to an enviable musical lineage. An exponent of both Veena Dhanammal and Kancheepuram Naina Pillai schools of singing, she had an inimitable style. But T. Brinda, whose centenary is being celebrated, was a musician who shunned publicity and refused commercial recordings of her music.
"While her death deprived Carnatic music of her great style, it has offered one advantage. Now, we are able to speak about her music which she would not have allowed in her lifetime," said R. Venugopal, an ardent fan of Brinda and former managing director of Spencers.
Describing her music as "introvert," he said it fitted Aldous Huxley's definition that, "after silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." Brinda never sought to impress the audience.
He was participating at a panel discussion organised by Krishna Gana Sabha.
"Self-satisfaction is important for her. Through self-satisfaction, she connected herself with the rasika," said Mr. Venugopal, who had listened to her innumerable concerts.
He wondered whether she could be described as a torch-bearer of Dhanammal and Kancheepuram Naina Pillai schools, as she assimilated aspects of both schools and evolved her own style.
S. Neelakantan, son of later violin maestro Thiruvalangadu Sundaresa Iyer, said Ramnad Krishnan and Thiruvavaduthurai Rajarathinam Pillai were the two musicians who absorbed the Dhanammal school style of music and popularised it through their own renderings.
"She used to sing between seven and nine in the evening and there would be hardly a dozen people. Who can equal her 'padams' and 'javalis' in 'kalyani,' 'bhairavi,' 'gowlibandhu,' 'begada,' 'saveri,' 'sahana' and 'paras,'" he said.
Prof S.R. Janakiraman, a student of Brinda, said "joints and couplings" were part and parcel of her music and she maintained continuity without a break.
He went on to sing a few Brinda favourites to explain the greatness of her music.
"On one occasion, she stopped singing 'varalai' and touched upon 'ranjani' a few minutes. Then she said 'ranjani' could be tried if we could not explore the greatness of 'varalai,'" said Mr. Janakiraman, adding that she should not just be admired, but adored.

I learned to cook by watching my German mother cook, & I think my mother is a wonderful cook, but I am better. I love to cook, and now like to use fresh herbs whenever I can, I like to take recipes and use what I like and leave out what I don't, like hot spices like chilies, my stomach cannot take the hot stuff. I have Crohn's Disease and at times am unable to eat, and I loose weight easily, so when I can eat I eat whatever I want and do not do anything diet. I am currently trying to gain weight due to a recent weight loss of almost 30 pounds, & I was only 120 pounds to begin with, so now I am very thin and gaining weight is just as hard as loosing it. Due to the Crohn's I have a built in weight loss mechanism, so gaining weight is my priority, kind of fun to be able to eat all the fattening things I want to eat. I will be sharing some of my recipes from my mother that I have changed a bit, and also some of the ones I have come up with myself, of course there is nothing low fat or calories with what I make, so if on a diet, you can change what you like, but I don't guarantee any results with diet changes. I hope you will enjoy the recipes I submit, as soon as I feel better to submit them. I am currently battleing another flare up.
I am a meat and potatoes gal, and I just love gravy, and make gravy with my roasts or anything that can be used to make gravy for mashed potatoes or rice. I make a very good from scratch spagetti sauce,using fresh herbs anywhere I can. I also use a pressure cooker for pot roast with veggies and potatoes, and of course a great gravy to go over everthing, and with the pressure cooker its a one pot meal and is done quickly but all the flavor cooks into the juices to make the base for the gravy. I don't eat out very often because I can usually make it at home better, and with me suffering from Crohn's Disease, going out to eat can be a major ordeal. I also do not like fast food as something in the way they cook it upsets my stomach so cooking at home, everything from scratch, is the way to go, plus it is much better for you even if the food is not diet friendly. The one place that I go for take out some times is White Fence Farm, I just love thier cole slaw, it is the only cole slaw that I like, and will eat. The only other restaurant that I have delivered is Mike's Famous Pizza, It is my favorite pizza place and the only pizza I will now eat, I don't go anywhere else for pizza. For desserts I think Marie Callenders Pies are the best pies in the world, and would gladly pay whatever they charge, because thier pies are the best around, if you haven't tried them you definately should.

Legal reasons! Disney doesn't wanna get sued. Same reasoning behind renaming MGM.
I got this from Screamscape.com:
According to this update at Orlando United, the park has removed Jim Hensons name from the balloon on top of the Muppetvision 3D Theater as well as his name from just above the main logo on the front of the building as well. While Disney owns the Muppets now, it seems kind of rude to remove Jim Hensons name after all this time. Anyone know what the deal is?

Legal reasons! Disney doesn't wanna get sued. Same reasoning behind renaming MGM.
Ayhab the Arab
It's amazing to think that this all started with one little mouse.
I don't think we should overreact to this.
I'm sure Lou Mongello or somebody else has an official answer regarding this or something.
Come on......that's like taking Walt out of Disney! Jim Henson was one of the main creative forces behind the muppets, just like Walt was behind Disney's animation! Maybe I'm just a upset muppets fan, but this dosen't seem right to me?
I would also like to mention that Jim's name was removed from DCA's version of the attraction just a couple of years ago, so it was probably just a matter of time.
Also, Screamscape just posted a possible theory as to why they took Jim's name off of Muppet-Vision's title:
I don't always trust Screamscape, but the above reasoning makes sense to me.(9/23/08) While I havent heard an official story yet, I was given a good theory about why Jim Hensons name has been removed from the attraction at Disneys Hollywood Studios. According to this older news article from when Disney purchased the Muppets, they simply bought the Muppets characters along with Bear and the Big Blue House from The Jim Henson Company back in 2004. Its a common mistaken believe that Disney bought the entire company, but they did not. However part of that deal also included a four-year consulting contract with the Jim Henson Co., as well as a three-year production deal to make new films or TV shows. Its thought that The Jim Henson Company may have even requested that Disney remove and stop using the Jim Henson name in an effort to clear up some of this confusion how that the consulting deal is over that they have cut their ties with Disney.
Meanwhile, just in time for the end earlier this year, Disney launched an all new version of the Muppets.com website that also has no mention of Jim Hensons name (that I can see at least...). Not long afterwards, Disney also announced a deal with writer Jason Segel and helmer Nick Stoller to produce the next Muppet film for them by 2010.
Clearly Disney is taking ownership of the Muppets for this all new generation. It seems this is just the start of Disneys efforts to ramp up public awareness of the Muppets all over again for their next big marketing push, which will include a new Christmas special to be broadcast on NBC this December. Its taken a few years for Disney to figure out how to fit the Muppets in to the mix with the rest of the Disney characters, but it seems clear now that they have a plan and it is being put into action.
So far the early efforts, including all new viral videos on YouTube have been a huge success. There are all new YouTube videos being posted by actual Muppets who have made their own channels such as Sam the Eagle posting as PatrioticEagle, Statler & Waldof posting as HeckleU247, The Swedish Chef posting as Deumnborkborkbork, Beaker posting as MeepMeepMeepow and Gonzo posting as WeirdoWhatever.

I must say that it is nice to finaly see Disney making a push of the muppets. I also hope that have some kind of tribute in muppet stuidos for jim Henson?


text: It takes daring to build a film around a discombobulated loser who sells coupons and can barely splutter out a sentence; it takes vision to make his desperation ours. Frownland, Ronald Bronstein's startling comedy, is like a mumblecore Eraserhead directed by John Cassavetes. It's a look at a New York ''bohemia'' that's passed its expiration date. You may not realize that Dore Mann, who's like the harmless twit son of Son of Sam, is acting, but when he lurches through a nightmare party as ''Jailhouse Rock'' echoes, he's as poignant as a modern-day Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

Because she chose to work at a private Catholic school rather than a public school, a teacher from New York figured she could write off the nearly $20,000 difference in salary as a charitable contribution.
It made sense to her, since she was willing to work for less money in order to help her church.
But her tax preparer, Jeff Gentner, an enrolled agent from Williamsville, N.Y, had to be the bearer of bad news.
"I told her it's redemption versus reduction -- the heavenly rewards will be there, but I can't do anything about the refund," he said.

Talk about creepy: a 40-year-old "self taught" hypnotist in the UK is facing a prison sentence for persuading a woman under his trance to show him her breasts. Timothy Porter, who served in the military until 2012, violated a woman who trusted him to give her hypnotherapy for anxiety and weight management. After they'd had several sessions together, Porter did a session in the woman's home while her husband was away and insisted on a deeper hypnosis than they'd done before. As reported by the Daily Mail UK, Porter sat down next to her on the couch and, according to prosecutor Jonathan Walker, kept repeating "No mind, no will of your own" as he started the trance. He told the victim that he was her master, and she was his sexual slave. Porter talked the her into showing and touching her breasts while he performed a sex act on himself. She eventually broke out of the trance and called a friend, scared, who called the police.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Harry!
Facts about Harry
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- ID#: bncr012411B9
- Hair: Medium
Harry's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR!!! MEET HARRY & BESS. These lovely siblings are about 16 weeks old. They love to eat, play and take cat naps. HARRY & BESS are very friendly and get along well with other cats. They would love to go to a "forever" home TOGETHER!!! Please call today to adopt HARRY & BESS. You can also visit us at PETCO on Commercial Blvd & Dixie Hwy every Sat & Sun from 11AM-4PM.
Other Pets at Beyond Nine Cat Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Harry, a Oakland Park Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Oakland Park, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Oakland Park.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Oakland Park already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Oakland Park breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Oakland Park paves the way for another one to be saved.

We have water damage in our basement. The source of the water has been fixed, we are trying to clean up from it. There is a crawl space under the stairs that has a cement floor, and then a finished basement is the rest. We took everything out from under the stairs and cleaned it up, sprayed bleach water, and ran a heated fan for a few days. Under the stairs was also the source of the water, so it is directly where the water came from. It dried up, and we put everything back. Then we started smelling mold again and checked. The concrete is wet again. So we pulled up the carpet on the other side of wall, and it is dry. The wood underneath it is dry. So we drilled a small hole and under it is insulation. Wet insulation. My DH is the one he is doing the work, I have no idea what to do about it. I hope I explained this well! Does anyone have any tips on where to start? Can we just run a dehumidifier (wishful thinking)? Thanks for any advice - Christy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, what's a bit confusing is that you first say the source has been fixed, but then go on to explain how the water keeps returning in the same place... until the source has actually been dealt with, there's no point it trying to dry it. The insulation could be widespread (wet) and you may need to ask a pro about things rather than just try to seal in what now might seem like a little problem, but may in fact be quite large (inside). |

I think the water that was soaked in the insulation is what made the concrete wet again. The source of the water is hard to explain but quite simple to resolve, so let me give it a shot. The AC drains water out of a PVC pipe. It was designed to drain into a PVC pipe that came out of the floor. The drain is horizontal and then turns downward. However the AC unit got in the direct line for the PVC pipe, so they bent it slightly and just pushed it into the PVC pipe coming out of the floor. It got bumped, and the PVC pipe was knocked out of the floor drain. It was very slow to make a mess, because we weren't running the AC very often. Sorry for the confusion, I just don't have the vocabulary for this!! Thanks, Christy |

The only way you are going to get it dry is tear oprn the wall and remove and discard the wet insulation. |
- Posted by christy2828 (My Page) on Mon, Aug 11, 08 at 20:19
Thanks for the advice :) We have ripped up the floor board and pulled out all of the wet insulation. We finally hit dry concrete, so hopefully we've resolved the issue. Thanks, Christy |

Outdoor Events in Corridor Go On, Rain or Shine
CEDAR RAPIDS (CBS 2/ FOX 28)-- Vendors like Julianna Berg have been getting ready for this day all year.
"It was rainy," said the cupcake vendor. "It was going to be dreary, and we're saying I hope people still come out," Berg said.
Saturday marked the first day of Newbo City's farmer's market and despite the gray skies that hovered above, hundreds of shoppers looking for fresh food, still poured into the market rain or shine.
The on and off showers did little to stop artists at this year's "Chalk the Walk: in Mount Vernon from paving the street in masterpieces.
"We have Michelangelo's 'David' that I'm not done with yet, Peata, Moses,"said artist Tyler Roos of his black and white drawing on 1st street.
This is the 8th year of the outdoor event where 80 local artists use the blocked off parts of the street as their own personal canvasses—wet or dry weather.
"The nature of this festival is that if it rains, there's not a whole lot we can do about it," said event chairman Scott Rose.
"It's one of those things that I wouldn't miss," Roos said.

Garden Angels, come cheer with me!
What an exciting day... I went to the mall on Saturday, and bought - wait for it! - a new pair of shoes! My post-surgery foot is still terribly swollen, but the swelling has gone down enough for me to fit into a pair of flip-floppy type deals. Not thongs, with the little between-the-toe thingy, but just a flat sole with a single band across the top. They're so purty... :) And best of all, they're not my stinky ol' Birkenstocks, which have been the only shoes I'd been able to fit into, and which currently smell like a dead horse. Five weeks + one pair of shoes + sweltering heat = dead horse smell. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Looking good! |
Goody goody for you! Yep-that foot looks a bit swollen. Does it feel better? |
Thanks guys! The Foot feels much better. I'm walking more or less normally, although slowly and carefully, and I don't feel quite so Frankensteinish anymore - gimping along with an oversized foot. In 2-4 weeks, I should be able to start to do "impact activities" again, which - let me tell you - will be *wonderful*. I've been almost completely inactive since May 24th, and I'm starting to feel like a marshmallow :) |
Aren't you having the other one done? |
Yup, but not until next July. I was initially supposed to get the other foot done this September, but I had no idea how long and painfully inactive the recuperation period would be - four months with no impact is a long, long time. I just can't be inactive for 8 straight months. I would seriously turn into the human marshmallow. Plus, I wouldn't be able to fit into any real shoes once the weather got cold. Sandals are much more forgiving. So next July it is! |
Just wondering how your tootsies are. |

& where you've diappeared to (if I may be so nosy). Let me guess, Fall's almost here, is school back in session? |
School is indeed back in. I'm preparing for comprehensive exams, hammering out a project proposal, and preparing to teach the first course I've ever taught. egad! I'm over at the Hot Topics forum more regularly, but even when I check in at the C&S forum, it seems rather dead. Has anyone else noticed that? My foot's doing fabulously, thanks! :) It's starting to feel more and more like "my" foot. At first it was like some alien appendage that had somehow been attached to my body. I can put more impact on it - I even ran (in a hobbling kind of way) for the bus last week :) It's still a little swollen and stiff (which my doctor assures me is normal for this surgery), but I have no pain. I'm very happy with the no pain :) How are you all doing? |

The Sweet Donation Bag is bringing blood bags into the 21st century with its contemporary and intelligent design. These bags were designed by Jihye Lee to make sorting blood easier and faster.
Each Sweet Donation Bag has a giant letter on it for the donor's blood type. Incorporating the blood type into the bag's design would eliminate the dangerous accident of mislabeling bags of blood. These bags look really good and have the potential to save lives. What more could you want out of medical innovation?

Charity Event at Local Habit featuring free sour beer – May 23
According to our VERY established precedent of having meeting on the last Saturday of the even months, we are due to have a meeting on April 27th! The question is: where shall we have it? Make suggestions in the comments if you have a burning desire to go somewhere specific, though I hear the patio of Tiger! Tiger! last time was pretty good.
Hey all. It has been a while, and I thought that we should really try to get together sometime soon. I'm thinking that March 2nd or 3rd might be a good time to do something? What do you all think?
I've been busy, but I miss you jerks. Let's be a club some more!
Hey all, it's that time again! Time to celebrate October with CHUG Same place, same time? (Monkey Paw, 1pm) Or does someone want to suggest a different location this time around?
Thanks to all that came out to the CHUG meeting on August 25th, it was great to see everyone. A special thanks to Old Mission Brewing/Ensenada Brewing Company for bringing us your vast array of beer to try! Another thanks to craftbeertasters for coming out to document the meeting between CHUG and EBC as well.
For those that missed out… well too bad for you! Hopefully you can make it to the next meeting on October 27th! There was talk about an odd-month meeting for various activities, such a Oktoberfest (if we don't want to wait until the end of October for our official meeting to celebrate it), as well as a meeting for any brewers interested in getting CHUG more active in home brew competitions and/or a collaborative brewing session to fill a barrel with some ultimately funky goodness.
NOTE: CHUG being involved in brewing competitions, whether as a club or individuals representing CHUG, in no way requires all members to participate, or even care that it is happening.
I think I remember someone saying the last Saturday of every even month. June came and went, so lets shoot for August 25th? I'd like to suggest that if you want , bring two bottles of a beer you want critiqued and we can set up a blind tasting pannel and review your beer.If no place wants to house us, we can do it at my house. but my tap selection will be limited.
Saturday Aug 25th, 1pm at Monkey paw…
For lack of creativity, how about we try to meet up at the paw for this next meeting. First Item on the agenda should be setting up a meeting schedule and locations.
I'll be bringing a few bottles out of my barrel experiment, please feel free to critique it or just enjoy it, but input positive a negative will be greatly appreciated.
Derek edit:
You guys are welcome to bring bottles of homebrew to the bar. It is totally cool. It would be nice if you could tip the bartender if you are using our glasses, because that's just polite. I'll be there all day brewing, so I'll be there!
Anyone planning on hitting up the Intl Beer Fest?
It's taking place on the 22nd – 24th (Fri-Sun)
I work Fridays and Sundays, so Saturday is really my only choice.
It's 35$, does not include admission, and there are 2 times on Saturday, I'm down for either..
Let me know!
House warming party next Saturday
Hey everyone! Beth and I are having our official house warming party next Saturday June 16th and we'd love for any and all of you to come! You are under no obligation to bring anything, we're going to have a bunch of BBQ and probably a few kegs from green flash/various bottles of beer for all to enjoy! Our address is 2802 polk ave. San Diego 92104. We're kicking off the festivities at 1pm. Bocce ball is almost definitely going to happen. Possibly bad Minton as well.
No RSVP, just come. 804 397 5160 is you have any questions!
5 gallon Ball Lock Kegs 37.25 each Group buy
Hey guys, and a similar note to Grem's post. I have been brewing a lot more and have started to run low on kegs. I contacted a guy in florida that sells ball lock kegs on ebay. He will ship a pallet of 20 kegs to San Diego for $745. That breaks down to 37.25 each if we get 20. I know I want 5 or more, but if we can get a couple pallets shipped out here I'm sure the price will come down further. These kegs will probably need a good cleaning and and new gaskets, but are shipped holding pressure. I can have the kegs shipped to my work where we have a loading dock, so we can get a good freight rate.
If you are interested shoot me an email bboydz at gmail.
Ever wanted a 2.5 gal Ball Lock Keg?
UPDATE: I'm planning to order mine tomorrow, if you want to combine on shipping, let me know ASAP!
I know I have! I was alerted to a pretty great sounding deal through one of the online homebrew suppliers: brand new 2.5 gal Ball Lock kegs for $79 each. Here is the link to the product posting. I'm planning to purchase one or two myself already, and figured I would see if anyone else had any interest and if so, see if we can order them all together to save one some shipping costs. I have emailed them asking how long the $79 price will be available, and what kind of shipping discount we might be able to get if we all combine shipping to one location.
If you are interested, post up in the comments. If we can do a combined buy, I'll collect money via PayPal prior to purchasing.
Shipping Info: I received a message back, and they can fit up to six in a box, which would ship here for about $35. Shipping for one keg alone is about $13; it looks like they add on $5-ish per extra keg for shipping.

Tesla revs up more powerful Roadster Sport: starts at $128,500 {Engadget}

Jan 11th 2009 12:56PM This is a reply to your first comment, since engadget doesn't allow continuos threading:
If you're talking about the G-Wiz, that's not even classified as a car, it's a quadricycle. As such it doesn't have to stick to normal safety standards. It is also horribly inefficient with it's lead-acid batteries, getting MAYBE 30 miles per charge. It can barely fit one person, much less two. If you want to take up less space on the road and save money get a scooter, moped or small motorbike. Not only are they cheaper, smaller and will get you farther they are probably more comfortable as well.
Tesla revs up more powerful Roadster Sport: starts at $128,500 {Engadget}
Jan 11th 2009 12:50PM Actually the battery never ran out on the shoot. They said the battery COULD run out after 50 miles of track time (which is basically the worst thing possible for testing economy) but the real world figure for use is about 200 miles. Their 16 hour charging time was also based on a standard socket, but when you buy a tesla roadster they supply a high voltage charger that can do it in about 4 hours.
Also, top gear didn't review this particular model, they reviewed the original roadster.

Fixing instance server errors {WoW}
Dec 23rd 2008 12:13PM It's really not that easy. Introducing new architecture into a server environment always makes things more complicated and prone to problems. It's not like they can just slot in a few more RAM chips like you do at home, these servers are probably already maxed out on everything so upgrading them would require replacing entire machines, which takes a LOT of testing and planning not to mention more downtime than usual.

Finchelover, The forums are really slow and do pick up during the winter months. I think everyone is just very busy this time of the year putting their gardens to sleep for winter. I know for myself I try to read the forum before I go to bed each evening, but lately things have been so busy, weeding one last time, mulching and building a greenhouse that I don't get on every evening.

Welcome to My Personal Page
I have joined an amazing cause: Citi employees around the world are banding together for a "virtual" event to walk, run or bike 100 km in 100 days to raise $100,000 toward ending hunger and poverty in our world. Nearly one in seven of our global human family goes to bed hungry every night. And, though we have come a long way over the last few decades, there are still 7,000 children dying every day of hunger-related causes. I believe we can put an end to this suffering once and for all. If you do too, please consider making a donation (large or small) toward my personal fundraising goal. The money you contribute will support people in villages throughout Africa, South Asia and Latin America who are taking courageous actions every day to improve their lives and the lives of others in their families and communities. 870 million people live without enough food to lead healthy and productive lives. Please join me in standing with each and every woman and man in every part of the world women and men who are working together to take on age-old inequity so that their villages and families can build lives with dignity. Thank you! To find out more about The Hunger Project and its work or to get involved, please visit www.thp.org.

In celebration of 150 years in service, the First Tennessee Foundation will give away $5,000 to a different nonprofit, starting today. The result will be $750,000 in awards spread across Tennessee. Winners will be determined by online voting.
Kim Cherry, executive vice president of corporate communications for First Horizon, the parent company of First Tennessee, explained the opportunity is a way for the bank to show gratitude.
"This is a way to celebrate our anniversary by giving back to the communities we serve," Cherry said. "We support the health and prosperity of our communities, because our success depends on their success."
Cherry added, "The 150 Days of Giving is a way to say thank you, to celebrate our shared history and look ahead to a bright future."
Votes can be cast at 150daysofgiving.com. According to the website's list of rules, 10 votes can be made on one device. However, an organization may only receive one vote per device. Additional platforms, e.g. smartphones, tablets or another laptop, will allow more votes.
A person could realistically vote as many times as desired in a day, provided multiple devices are utilized for the action.
There are a total of 948 nonprofits in the running for the 150 awards of $5,000. Only nonprofit organizations which have been supported by First Tennessee since 2008 — through either a direct grant or matching gift for an employee — are eligible. Local nonprofit organizations include:
- United Way of Bradley County
- Cleveland State Community College Foundation
- Boy Scouts of America - Cherokee Area Council
- Lee University
- Cleveland Family YMCA
- Cleveland Bradley Chamber Foundation
- Junior Achievement of the Ocoee Region
- Bradley Cleveland Public Education Foundation
- Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland
- Museum Center at Five Points
- Boys & Girls Clubs of Cleveland
- Bradley Initiative for Church and Community
- 100 Black Men of Bradley County Inc.
- Tri-State Exhibition Center
- Foundation for Cleveland Public Library
- Cleveland Rotary Foundation
Organizations can be found either by alphabetical order or typing the name in the search box at the top of the page. These two methods will help voters bypass the 79 pages of nonprofits currently on the website.
More than 200,000 votes have been cast for the almost 1,000 organizations since voting opened March 10.
Representatives from 100 BMBC, Junior Achievement and BCPEF expressed their appreciation for the opportunity and urged local supporters to start voting.
Ronnie Arnold, president of the 100 BMBC, said First Tennessee has always been a good sponsor to the local organization.
"I just admire them for what they are doing. A lot of companies are not giving away money. The guy on top is hoarding the money," Arnold said. "That just lets me know they are trying to be a very good partner with society. They are spreading the wealth."
He said money donated to 100 BMBC affects not only the students in the program, but those who come in contact with the young members.
Explained Arnold, "Because sometimes students talk better to other students than they do adults."
BCPEF director Lynn Voelz said it is no small thing to get supporters to go online and vote every day. She said organizations will really have to work for the chance to receive the $5,000 award.
Supporters who vote might be surprised at how quickly their votes can be cast online. However, Voelz explained it would still require people remembering to go to the website.
She expressed her appreciation for First Tennessee's investment in the local communities.
JA of the Ocoee Region board chair Rick Platz described the 150 days as a "great" and "wonderful" opportunity.
According to Platz, the money, if awarded, would most likely be used to purchase kits used to present information about economic literacy and workforce preparation to students in elementary, middle and high schools.
He said the common theme of the five-hour kit courses is the basic message to "stay in school."
First Tennessee Cleveland Community President Mike Griffin said the 150 Days of Giving allows the bank to live up to an old slogan of "Serving our customers one opportunity at a time."
He said he is thrilled with the way the bank has chosen to celebrate its anniversary.
"That is one thing I am very proud of ... is all we do for our community," Griffin said. "I think the whole concept is neat."

There will be no loosing your page with the Zipmark Bookmark, it makes the place where you left off look blatantly obvious beneath a plastic faux-fastener strip.
Even though you can effectively save your spot in a novel with a Post-It, a gum wrapper or a paper bill, none of these resourceful items has a shred of the whimsical character of this totally cute Peleg Design doodad.
It consists of a thin, likely silicone, strip that sandwiches between the leaves of your hardcover. Perpendicular to this, it features a long and slender segment that's been molded to mimic the interlocking teeth and the tab of a zipper. The visual effect of using a Zipmark Bookmark makes it seem like your paperback has an unexpected pocket.

Rode down to the area of Frankfurt/Oder for a kitesurf session. Sun was shining but the lake was still almost completely frozen. So I stayed on the beach but learnt an essential lesson while watching that (only) guy on the lake kiting: If you think you`re insane, there is always somebody who can beat you… Whatever… some photos from the lake:

The Diocese of Phoenix released a statement early Thursday morning identifying the slain priest as Father Kenneth Walker, the associate pastor at the Mater Misericordiae (Mother of Mercy) Mission located near the Arizona state capitol.
The pastor, Father Joseph Terra, 56, is in critical but stable condition. Both priests belong to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.
"We are stunned and deeply saddened to learn of the tragic assault perpetrated last night against Fr. Joseph Terra and Fr. Kenneth Walker," the statement said. "We ask that people offer prayers for both priests, the religious community, their families and the parish."
Police responded to a burglary call from Father Terra shortly after 9 p.m. at 16th Avenue and Monroe Street at the Mater Misericordiae Mission, according to Arizona Central.
"Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace," the diocese said.
Requiem Masses will be offered for Fr. Walker on Monday, June 16.

The fate of a gender equality bill pending in Indonesia's parliament and aligned with the United Nations convention on the elimination of all forms discrimination against women (CEDAW) has become uncertain after falling afoul of powerful Islamist groups.
No fewer than six major Islamic organisations have formally objected to the equality bill on the ground that some of its articles go against Islamic values in the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation where 80 percent of its 238 million people are followers of the faith.
[ . . . ]
The bill goes against the grain of the Islamic Shariah law on inheritance which favours males. It also allows a man or a woman to freely choose a marriage partner regardless of religious persuasion and seeks to legalise homosexual or lesbian marriages.Many ordinary women now accuse non-government organisations (NGOs) such as the international Women Against Shariah (WAS) for creating confusion in Indonesian society that has set notions about the place of men and women in it.
According to WAS, Shariah law imposes second class status on women and is incompatible with the basic principles of human rights that include equality under the law and the protection of individual freedoms.

You don't need to go to Hawaii to hang ten. Ride the waves on our own ocean shoreline.
And professional surfer Cliff Skudin and his brother Will are ready to teach you.
The Skudins operate Skudin Surf, which offers private lessons and group sessions in the Rockaways, as well as in Long Beach and Atlantic Beach in Nassau County.
And even though the temperatures have only recently started to warm up enough to spend more than a few minutes outside, school is in session. The brothers are already giving private lessons.
"If somebody wanted to do a lesson tomorrow, we would do it," Cliff Skudin said.
Though the brothers lost a lot of their equipment in Hurricane Sandy and had to replace pretty much everything, the school is up and running and looking forward to a succesful season.
"We're really excited to start it up, get normalcy back." Skudin said.
Skudin Surf will be running surfing camps for children and adults on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. starting on June 24 and running through Aug. 31.
For those who just want some lessons, Skudin offers private and semi-private lessons seven days a week, just call and schedule a time. There are also weekend group classes that will begin around Memorial Day.
Skudin's lessons in Rockaway take place at Beach 67th Street in Arverne.
The brothers are not only expert surfers — have ridden the waves of popular surfing spots around the world, such as in Hawaii, South America and Portugal — but are also part of a surfing dynasty. Skudin Surf has been offering lessons for three decades, beginning with Cliff and Will's grandparents and later their parents.
And if you don't think you can catch a gnarly wave here, Skudin says the ones that break on New York's shores are the perfect ones to learn on.
"One of the biggest secrets in New York is how perfect the waves are for learning," he said.
For more information on Skudin Surf Club's lessons and camps, visit their website, skudinsurf.com or you can reach them directly at firstname.lastname@example.com or (516) 318-3993.

Secrets of buffing/burnishing the floor
I have never thought I would have so much fun sharing my knowledge about the floor care with you. Back when I was starting my first commercial cleaning company, you couldn't find this information on the Internet – that is if you had an Internet. Even books on this subject were rare. Sometimes the only option to learn for us was the trial and error method. The biggest pro of this method was that once you have learned something you remembered it for the rest of your life and the cons of course were: time consumption and high cost.
Fortunately, floor buffing is one of the easiest and more pleasurable floor maintenance applications. Can one still mess up the floor in the process? Yes. Fortunately again it is not going to be you, because you are smarter than that and you will educate yourself by reading this blog in its entirety.
There are different types of floors that can call for buffing or polishing and buffing techniques will slightly differ from floor to floor as well. Today we are going to focus on buffing the VCT floors that contains previously applied floor finish. As the matter of fact we won't be buffing the VCT floor at all, but the floor finish that is on the floor. The VCT tile will not shine no matter how long you buff it unless it has enough floor finish on it. No wax, no shine. Period.
There are several types of high speed buffers (burnishers) you can use for this job. Your buffer should have a speed over 1000 rpm. You can choose from electric burnishers (corded), battery operated burnishers and propane burnishers. Propane burnishers are the most powerful and fastest and are usually used for large areas, such as retail stores, supermarkets etc. Battery operated burnishers are a good alternative to propane burnishers. They are quiet, work very well in the medium to large areas, but they lock the power and speed comparing to propane buffers.
For a small to medium job most likely you will need the electric corded burnisher. The most common will be 20″ 1500 rpm or 20″ 2000 rpm. Burnishers are fairly easy to use, however if you lock experience you might want to choose 1500 rpm – they are more user friendly. 2000 rpm works faster, but there is a risk of burning the floor for inexperienced operator.
Electric buffers sit on their rear wheels and buff the floor with the front part of their pad. Make sure you are using proper pad. Generally only white pads are design for buffing, but in recent years a new generation of pads has been introduced to the market, like champagne or aqua. However, the best results I have ever achieved was using the Gorilla Natural Blend Burnishing Pad. Hog's hair in the pad causes the wax to heat up faster resulting in high shine.
Before you start using your burnisher, make sure your pad is tightly and securely installed on the pad holder.
When you install a brand new pad on your machine it will remain it's original thickness only for a short while. It's a good idea to stop the buffer after few minutes of work and tighten the center lock securing the pad, so it won't scratch the floor.
To use the burnisher, extend the handle to comfortable position – usually at your hipsheight . Make sure the cable doesn't get in the path of your machine. With rpms ranging from 1500 to 2000 anything that gets under your machine will be ripped to pieces. It is important to exercise caution and common sense to avoid possibly severe injuries. Plug in your buffer. Push the handle down, so the pad will lift of the floor. Turn on the switch on the handle to start the buffer and gently lower the pad to the floor. Now, all you have to do is push it forward few steps and pull it back few steps. Don't try to go left and right. It will make swivel marks on the floor. Do not pull the handle up. This will push the pad down to the floor and may cause an ugly burn in the wax. Make one pass, walking slowly and move to the next one. You will see the floor starting to shine in front of your eyes. You can spray the spray-buff lightly in front of machine. That process is called spray-buffing. It helps to some degree to achieve better gloss and remove dirt and scuff marks. You can make your own spray-buff by mixing floor finish and water in 1:1 ratio. You can also use a professional rejuvenator and restorer. It will clean, shine and remove scratches in one application and even improve floor's slip resistant. When the entire floor is buffed, sweep it again with the dust mop and return everytnig to it's orogonal position. If you're buffing newly waxed floor and your goal is to make the floor finish more durable and add more shine simply follow the process outlined bellow:
- move chairs and light furniture for easy access
- remove gums with scraper
- sweep the floor thoroughly with dust mop
- mop the floor with neutral cleaner and allow to dry
- burnish the floor with high speed burnisher and white pad
- sweep the floor horoughly again
- move back furniture
For used floors with dull finish, instead of mopping the floor, you can use auto-scrubber with a red pad. If the floor is in the more challenging condition, i.e. dull and dirty finish, thin or no wax in high traffic areas, consider scrub and re-coat. I will cover that topic in my next post. Good luck with your buff;)
