Is it feasible to have a flat deck (countertop with no integral 4 inch backslash) with laminate? My DH says no way, water will seep between the wall and the counter, especially behind the sink. I am planning to live with a painted backslash for awhile, am planning to tile later. |

I had this in one kitchen that showed no problems in seven years and the kitchen and bathrooms in the house I grew up in had this and show no problems after 44 years. |
Best if edge of counter to wall is sealed with silicone before backsplash is installed, be neat and keep it only on the edge of the counter and substrate- use tape to keep it off the wall above counter. Do that so that when you apply caulk it will stick. when tile goes in use a grout that matches the caulk- buy it when you get the grout- and leave no less than 3/16" in for the caulk. |

America's Top Free Attractions
Courtesy of Lincoln Park Zoo
Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago
Open 365 days a year, the Lincoln Park Zoo is just a few minutes from Chicago; you can actually hear the lion's roar echo off nearby apartment buildings. And yet, if you want to feel like you've gotten away from city life, you can retreat to the re-created rainforests or savannas. Kids will enjoy the colorful Bird House and Bear Habitat, and you'll pretend not to squirm when you visit the Lion House or get close to a boa in the Small Mammal-Reptile House.

text: The Salvation Army's Wellspring program provides advocacy and therapeutic support to assist people out of the life of prostitution for men and women. The program collaborates with local shelters and treatment programs for groups and individual treatment offered through correctional institutions. Those wishing to leave a life of prostitution can come to the Wellspring program without fear of blame or judgment. The program aims to break the cycle of prostitution through street outreach, pre-treatment regarding substance abuse, services for those in correctional facilities, and supportive family services. Wellspring began in 1988 with a small group of concerned Omaha community members and by 1994 it had evolved into a program of The Salvation Army. Today, many Wellspring clients are referred to the program by the judicial system, correctional centers, human service agencies or probation programs. Though the primary focus of the Wellspring program is to help clients and their families make a safe and healthy transition out of prostitution, the benefits to the community are considerable. The program has helped reduce social and economic costs in areas such as law enforcement, public health, and community image. Those seeking to break the cycle of prostitution can contact the Salvation Army's Wellspring Program at (402) 898-5900.

About 80 Sunnyside residents filled the pews of All Saints Church Monday night to voice safety concerns and in particular, hear updates about the robber who forced community members to withdraw money from one ATM last week.
"We have some idea [who he is]," said 108th Precinct Captain Donald Powers, the commanding officer, who led the town hall meeting at the church along with Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer (D-Sunnyside).
The precinct seems to have some leads on the man who stole money from three men on April 12, 18 and 23 at gunpoint near the intersection of 44th Street and 50th Avenue, but nothing concrete.
"It's an unusual case — making people withdraw money," Powers said. All money was taken from the same ATM inside a bodega in Sunnyside.
Community members asked what they could do to feel less vulnerable.
Powers said to try to avoid talking on the telephone while walking home at night.
"We're all busy, but try to be aware," he said.
"Try being with a small child," a woman in the audience said.
Community members can also call the precinct for a free safety assesment of their homes.
In response to those crimes and a stint of sexual assaults that occurred three weeks ago in Western Queens, Van Bramer sent a letter to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly saying "additional resources are now warranted to address the spike in burglaries and sexual assaults."
The 108th Precinct has fewer officers than usual, said Powers. The precinct is waiting for eight officers. Van Bramer's request is in addition to these eight officers already on their way.
Many residents said the Long Island City-based 108th Precinct does not have enough of presence in Sunnyside.
"If you want to hide from the cops go to 51st Street," said one man attending the meeting.
Residents said they want more foot patrols, but Powers said there isn't the man power. Foot patrols would be of particular help in the parks, which community members said are havens for criminal activity.
One attendee said high school students were smoking pot in Murray Playground. Other parkgoers were urinating in the park's garden, she said, but the woman thought that would end once the bathrooms were installed.
Other residents mentioned Doughboy Park and Miller Park as places that needed some more police attention.
Cameras will be installed at Doughboy Park, said Van Bramer.

WoW botter tells all part 2 {WoW}
Feb 18th 2009 3:42PM Daedren, you have my respects for being an intelligent man.
Quote WoWInsider's question, "You mention having children. Did they ever watch your character botting? If so, were they aware that this was against game ToS?"
That is such a biased and loaded question, but Daedren, your answer is A+.
I think botting is cheating, but it doesn't bother me because I agree that WoW is all about time. Gear/mount/achievement boils down to be meaningless pixels at the end. It's the fun you had and the friends you got out of it that matters, in my opinion.
WAR population numbers revealed, but what do they mean? {Massively}
Feb 5th 2009 1:58PM Soulless. That's exactly how I felt WAR to be when I tried it at launch. WoW was indeed special when I played it four years ago, even through all the connectivity issues. WoW had so many small things that makes me happy back then, like flavor text on a junk item, or rabbit critters hopping around me while I killed mobs. WAR felt empty.
Officers' Quarters: Dressed down {WoW}
Feb 2nd 2009 4:12PM I agree with Scott.
However, I remember there were posts on WoWInsider on how to spice up raiding Kara by dressing up in themed outfits or something back in TBC.
The point is that your ex-guildie probably got bored from running Naxx many times (he does have very good equipment, right?) so he decided to do something to spice up the raid. He is wrong in that he is disrespecting 24 other people because he is effectively delaying the raid and causing larger repair bills. It is an immature thing, though it is understandable.
I would say Xonate should apologize for hurting the guy's feelings. If you are friends, I think you should explain what you were really thinking when you said those things and maybe you guys can get back to being friends and continue to raid together. At the same time, it is also important to let him know clearly that he was wrong for causing trouble in the middle of a raid so he won't do this again.
World of Warcraft college course has to be next {WoW}

Dec 23rd 2008 3:43PM I am sort of disappointed at this video. The music didn't vary much throughout so it sounded like a there was only 1 song playing in the background. Even though there are 2 people's voices here, it sounded like 1 guy saying all the lines (again, not enough variation). The turtle's lines are lame and the fact that the turtle sounded the same as all the other characters makes it worse. Overall I think Oxhorn didn't put too much effort into making this. Maybe he did it only because Wegame told him to make one, since he works there. I waited for the ending credits hoping it would be great like all his other videos but it was kind of disappointing.

Vincent Visits the Manning Centre
The other day this blogger went to a Manning Centre training seminar on visual communications — on building better looking websites, designing election signs, and creating campaign literature. This is the same Manning Centre that has been in the news recently and been a target of a fair bit of speculation on their efforts. As I wrote in another blog post, when a group of developers donate $1.1 million to the centre that's going to directly influence campaigns across the city, there is a great cause for concern from all people involved.
My experience at the two hour session was positively delightful. The speaker, Oliver Ballou, had everyone in the room introduce themselves and when I mentioned I was a Liberal I was made to feel quite welcome. In fact, judging from the room, there were individuals from across the spectrum in attendance: from Wildrose members, Progressive Conservatives, and even two NDPers (who hung around the back of the workshop by themselves). Half the examples on his Power Point presentation were positive examples of solid Liberal campaigning literature — and he was equally critical of Conservative materials as well, making sure to have a balanced presentation for the audience that introduced them to solid design techniques.
It was a multi-partisan affair, some good political ribbings, and everyone took to learning the material in a positive, light-hearted manner.
At the end of the event I even had the distinct pleasure of winning a competition on designing the best ad. Mr. Ballou had each of the participants take a press release or media article to compress down to a graphic — and I won! Having won, I was awarded a physical copy of Ballou's book, "The Graphic Guide to Conservativism", that you can find online at graphicguidetoconservatism.com. The feeling in the room was so great and so open jokes were made about Liberals having a natural tendency to design and that I had a truly unfair advantage on them. If you would like a copy of my notes from the session feel free to fire me at email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I found it quite valuable and very informative training . I will definitely be returning to the centre for more informative training sessions (by the way, you can view their training seminars and events online at their Practical Politics website).
2 Responses to Vincent Visits the Manning Centre
Vincent, I must admit that when I heard you were attending a course at the Manning Centre I wondered how a Liberal found his way through the front door, however your description of your experience and in particular the link to the Practical Politics Website has given me a fresh new perspective. Thanks for "daring to go where no Liberal has gone before".

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sassafras!
Facts about Sassafras
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Or Chocolate (Mostly)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Sassafras's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, and good with cats.
This little girl is the belle of the ball without a shy bone in her body! Most recently the hit of the party at her foster home, she beguiled and entertained a houseful of dinner guests with aplomb. Miss Sass's big puppy eyes are simply mesmerizing, shining with a mix of surprise and wonder. She finds everything captivating from a wad of paper to escaped frozen peas. Pawing at your feet or patting your head she will let you know when she's in need of nuzzling and kisses. Very playful with fellow furries, Sassafrass enjoys a good romp and delivering surprise attacks. If you're willing to apply frequent ear scratches and neck rubs this little missy wants to be your baby girl. This sweet & playful girl was born July 2012.
If you are interested in learning more about Sassafras, or know someone who might be interested, please contact Toni McNaughton at firstname.lastname@example.com or Lisa Ward at email@example.com.
We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you! Please contact Toni McNaughton at firstname.lastname@example.com or Lisa Ward at email@example.com to learn more.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sassafras, a Chicago Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Chicago, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Chicago.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chicago 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 Chicago breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chicago paves the way for another one to be saved.

Background: The Importance of Goods Movement in the Urban Environment 7
consumers, most now living in cities. By 1990, three-quarters of Americans lived in an urban
location. Today, in the 20 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, on average, 41 percent of the popula-
tion live in the city and 59 percent live in the surrounding suburbs.
Urban Goods Movement in the Twenty-First Century
The world has becoming highly urbanized. Humanity is in the midst of a long-term migra-
tion leading to greater concentrations of people in compact, densely populated urban areas. In
the United States, the Census Bureau defines an urbanized area as
An area consisting of a central place(s) and adjacent territory with a general population density of at least
1,000 people per square mile of land area that together have a minimum residential population of at least
50,000 people. The U.S. Census Bureau uses published criteria to determine the qualification and bound-
aries of urban areas.
In the rest of the world, the definition of urban varies, but regardless of how urban is defined,
the migration to more concentrated areas is a significant trend that poses huge societal chal-
lenges, not the least of these being how to efficiently accommodate the need to move both peo-
ple and goods in densely populated, compact environments. It is worth noting that the United
States, while far from the most urbanized country in the world, is well ahead of the world aver-
age, see Exhibit 2-1. Today over 83 percent of the U.S. population live and work in urbanized
areas. In the next 40 years, U.S. urban areas are expected to grow by 80 to 100 million people.
Cities are quickly becoming the most concentrated, dense consumer markets in history
(Laeser, Kolko, and Saiz 2000). Meanwhile, the capacity of urban transportation infrastructure
has increased only modestly. Urban design and regulations affecting how freight moves in mod-
ern cities have failed to keep pace with the growing demand for goods and services, and the trans-
portation systems that support modern logistics and supply chain management.

Full service community pharmacy serving the Lower East Side, East Village and surrounding neighborhoods in Manhattan.
Love this pharmacy. I was so tired of the horrible customer service of Rite-Aid on 1st Ave/5th St. Everyone at Avalon is so helpful from the check-out people to the pharmacist himself. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a non-chain pharmacy.
M H. New York, NY from Yelp
I keep meaning to review Avalon -- it is such a great antidote to the living zombie hell that is Rite Aid and the sullen service at ProCare. These guys are lightning fast (almost all of my prescriptions filled in 15 minutes), there's almost never a wait, and if they can't reach your doc about a refill or if your insurance company won't pay for something, they take the initiative and call you. Calvin the head pharmacy guy is a doll, supersmart and competent. The truncated hours can be a pain, yes, but the service is unbeatable. And it's nice to support a small business in the nabe.
marjorie i. New York, NY from Yelp
I wish all pharmacies were like this These are the nicest, most competent pharmacists and store owners around. They have always tried to help out in any way they possibly can with last minute scripts, getting things done ASAP, etc. Really, I wish all people were like this. And there is always a friendly person to answer the phone immediately. My whole family loves this place... and it is only a pharmacy!
Anonymity from Google
I'd pay double to get this kind of service.

In a Victorian mansion on the outskirts of Gloomsville live Ruby Gloom and her offbeat circle of friends. Some kids might be afraid of the dark, the eccentric neighbors and the unknown things that dwell in the closet. But Ruby is different: she befriends these strange and sometimes scary creatures. In fact, Ruby finds them all delightful. She pays no attention to their unusual appearances, perceptive only to their hearts and souls. Ruby is the happiest girl in the world, always trying to be cheerful in the face of gloom! Ruby's perfect day is a gloomy one, full of creativity and adventure with her offbeat circle of friends. Ruby Gloom is an ironic comedy with an emphasis on the importance of friendship.
This TV series is scheduled to run for 26 episodes.
The Ruby Gloom animation was created in 2003 for Los Angeles-based Mighty Fine Inc., which owned and used the character Ruby Gloom for its line of clothing and accessories. The Animation Farm wrote and directed an introduction to Ruby Gloom to test Ruby as an animated show. The short was shopped around, and Nelvana Limited bought Ruby Gloom. As a result, The Animation Farm can no longer play its animation on the Web.
Alternate title of series: Ruby Gloom: Happiest Girl in the World.

I have 3 hardy geraniums purchased from one of the big lot stores. All I know is it's white and the perennial variety. My question is do they take long to get established. Mine have not grown very much and bloomed only a little last year. I don't know if this is normal or they don't like the spot they are in which get 1-2 hours of afternoon sun and the rest part sun/ part shade. I try to water only during dry spells and even then deeply once a week. Thanks |

social psychology
Branch of psychology concerned with the personality, attitudes, motivations, and behaviour of the individual or group in the context of social interaction. The field emerged in the U.S. in the 1920s. Topics include the attribution of social status based on perceptual cues, the influence of social factors (such as peers) on a person's attitudes and beliefs, the functioning of small groups and large organizations, and the dynamics of face-to-face interactions.

Edwards was the first major story the Enquirer broke online. "We're the last of the Mohicans in terms of discovering our Web site," Levine says. They caught Edwards at the Beverly Hilton after that week's paper locked; worried that Edwards would attempt to spin the story before next week's edition, they posted the story on the Web site on Tuesday morning.
The Enquirer's full-time Web staff consists of one guy. Dick Siegel is in his fifties, works out of a cubicle decorated with color xeroxed comic-book covers from the '60s; the fact that he's an obvious pop-culture junkie ("I was able to write Fess Parker's obit, or 90 percent of it, off the top of my head, which is scary") makes him the ideal man to run the Enquirer's Web site, where Old Hollywood typesNatalie Wood, Ingrid Bergmantend to get more hits than Justin Bieber and the Jersey Shore kids. (By way of illustration, he pulls up a recent blog post, sourced to Carrie Fisher's Twitter, about speed fiend eddie fisher.)
"My forte is not journalism," Siegel says. "I'd be fired. I had been working at the late, lamented Weekly World News. That was after my film jobsI'd been an independent-film cinematographer. Really bad horror movies. Including one that I wrote, about zombies at a women's prison."
He tells me that the Weekly World News gig was good training for what he does now. You learned to write short stories, in AP style, even if they concerned the travails of Bat Boy, "and present them in a serious manner, even if the punch line was a joke."
But it makes sense that someone with Siegel's background wound up at the Enquirer. The tabs are a form of rogue pop culture. They're vehicles for celebrity adoration, but they burrow, termitelike, into the sanctioned narratives of American fame. They're campa form of fantasy that revels and resists. They're a comic-book, zombie-movie draft of Hollywood history, right down to the zingy sobriquets.
"It's like professional wrestling," Siegel says. "When we wrote about Tiger Woods's wife, we always described her as 'livid,' so now she's always 'livid Elin.' And Rielle Hunter is 'the New-Age Temptress.'"
Heroes and villains, in primary colors. "That's what separates the giant scandals from the everyday scandals," Levine says, explaining to me why Tiger Woods and Edwards, stepping out on his cancer-stricken wife, were tabloid rocket fuel. "If somebody is a hero and they do something unthinkable, something unconscionable, if the betrayal is so overwhelmingly dirty and sickening, that's what makes what we do."
At the same time, Levine says, the tabloids' coverage of famous people at their most abjecttheir most bloated or drunk or cheatedon or close to deathoffers readers a kind of reassurance.
"One of the formulas of the National Enquirer," he says, "is showing mainstream Americans that the people they admire have the same problems they do. Bad marriages, it could be money issues, health issues, alcoholism, weight issues."
That's a stock explanation, of course; Levine's basically paraphrasing Aaron Spelling's definition of gossip: "rich people having problems money can't solve."
I'm not sure either of them is entirely right. If (as we're constantly told) we live in such a cynical age, why is it such surprising-and-therefore-compelling news that (for example) Sandra Bullock's husband, this TV-hack grease monkey, turned out to be the kind of guy who'd seek out Nazi-fetish models to allegedly break his marriage vows with? Are there really still "mainstream Americans" who view famous peopleor politiciansas their moral betters?
Maybe tabloids don't exist to disabuse us of our innocence regarding the personalities they cover. Maybe, by presenting obvious-inretrospect newsfamous people, like all people, drink too much, do drugs, cheat, and die aloneas "shocking," they give us a little bit of our innocence back, allowing us, the cynical readers numbed by a cynical age, to feel shocked (even though we're not) the way horror movies (in which the zombies don't pose any actual threat) let us feel scared.
Just before 3 p.m., everybody gathers in Levine's office waiting for word.
"We're the people's champion," Levine says, "so it doesn't matter."
But there's still an anticipatory buzzat least for a few seconds, until Levine's assistant, Patricia Gonzalez, comes in with a printout. The Enquirer hasn't won anything. The Pulitzers for investigative reporting go to the Web site ProPublica, for a story about a hospital euthanizing patients after Hurricane Katrina, and the Philadelphia Daily News, for a series on corrupt cops.
People trickle back to their desks; Levine reads from the list of finalists.
"In investigative reporting, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, for reporting and computer analysis that unraveled $10 billion in suspicious Florida real estate transactions. And members of the New York Times staff, for their reporting on contaminated hamburger and other food-safety issues."
Levine does some phone interviews, mentions Pulitzer and Hearst, mentions Spitzer.
"I think that [the Times's] reporting on Spitzer, while it was great reporting, was a drop in the bucket compared to the effort that we had to go through," he says, "particularly being the Enquirer. Because unlike The Times, we have very little access to the people involved. We're outsiders; we're rebels."
I ask Levine, How do you compete with contaminated hamburger?
"It's all good journalism," he says, "but you have to wonder if these editors did not have some built-in bias against the Enquirer because we're a supermarket tabloid."
Levine mentions an anti-Enquirer piece written by Albany Times Union editor and onetime Pulitzer judge Rex Smith. ("This wasn't reporting in the public interest, folks," Smith wrote. "That was coincidental. And laying out cash to sources is an invitation to corruption. Thankfully, there's no Pulitzer for stumbling upon a bum.")
"That type of mentality," Levine says, "means that these are individuals who just don't take us seriously. They're going to sleep better knowing they didn't give us the prize and allow us to enter their ranks."
Meanwhile, Levine has a paper to put out. Via e-mail, the actor's publicist has denied the story the Enquirer is thinking of running. The fax machine spits out a brand-new lead sheettwo paragraphs of text from the Florida office, summarizing a tip-line call about a famous person who allegedly procreated extramaritally a couple of years ago. It could be America's next great love-child scandalwhich is not to say that the man at the center of America's last great lovechild scandal can relax. The Enquirer still has people chasing O.J. leads; Edwards isn't getting off that easy.
"He might be thinking, with the end of the Pulitzer thing, we'll be done with him," Levine says. "But no. It never ends."

Presiding:Beth L. Peerce, C.A.R. President
Staff:Matt Roberts, Federal Government Affairs Manager
I. Welcome: Beth L. Peerce, C.A.R. President
II. Issues to Come Before the Members at NAR November Business Meetings
A. Proposed Amendments to the Code of Ethics1. Under Article 15of the Code of Ethics, there has been uncertainty about who would be considered a competitor of REALTORS®. To clarify this article, an amendment has been proposed to strike the word "competitor" from the article, and replace with the phrase, "other real estate professionals."
2. Article 17 would give local boards and associations discretionary authority to require their members to mediate otherwise arbitrable disputes.
B. Amendments to NAR's Constitution1. Article 3; Section 8, would update our Constitution so that NAR's current and future partners can be considered International Affiliate Organizations.
2. Article 8; Section 3, pertains to Institutes, Societies and Councils and is a housekeeping modification to remove language which no longer has any effect.
Official Notice of Proposed Amendments to The Code of Ethics and Constitution of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®http://www.realtor.org/LeadGov.nsf/pages/2011delegatenotice?OpenDocument
III. NAR Policy Issues: Barbara J. Palmer (Additional background in the committee's agenda summary)
A. Mortgage Interest Deduction (Federal Taxation)The committee will review the tradeoffs currently being debated that would reduce tax rates but also reduce the tax benefits related to homeownership.
B. Residential Visa (Business Issues/ Federal Taxation)The committees will review proposed legislation that creates resident visa categories for foreign citizens who purchase homes.
C. REO Disposition (Federal Housing/ Conventional Finance and Lending)The committees will discuss NAR's response to the Request-for-Information on the disposition of Fannie Mae's, Freddie Mac's and FHA's REO inventory.
D. Short Sale Subgroup Report (Conventional Finance and Lending)The Short Sales Sub-group will brief the committee on preventing fraud in the short sale space, as well as outline "best" tips for second lien holders to employ in order to efficiently and effectively complete a short sale. The sub-group plans to discuss with the Committee the possibility of making a recommendation to the Risk Management Committee on short sale fraud prevention to assist the development of short sale fraud prevention materials for members.
E. Conservation Easements (Land Use, Property Rights & Environment)The Committee is expected to consider a motion that offers conditional support to tax incentives, such as conservation easements, that help preserve certain kinds of land while protecting property rights. (This motion was referred to the committee by the Realtors Land Institute)
F. Valuation Principles (Appraisal Committee)The committee will consider valuation principles for appraisals, non-appraisal valuations and automated valuation models.
G. Mortgage Debt Forgiveness (Federal Taxation)At C.A.R.'s Fall Business Meetings, the BOD took the following position:
"That C.A.R. "SPONSOR" federal legislation in conjunction with NAR that would extend the debt forgiveness protections beyond the end of next year. Once federal legislation is approved, that C.A.R. "SPONSOR" state legislation that would extend the debt forgiveness protections beyond the end of next year in conformity with federal law."
While not on the Federal Taxation Committee's agenda, California members of the committee should bring this issue up for discussion under "new" or "other" business.
H. Veteran Affairs Pest Certification (Federal Housing) At C.A.R.'s Fall Business Meetings, the BOD took the following position:
"That C.A.R., in conjunction with NAR, "SUPPORT" the removal of the pest inspection and/or clearance requirement to insure a VA loan."
While not on the Federal Housing Committee's agenda, California members of the committee should bring this issue up under the committee's discussion of VA fees, or under "new" or "other" business.
IV. Other Decision Items
A. MLS IssuesThere are two items that come from the Multiple Issues and Policies Committee, and Concern IDX and reporting sale prices to MLSs. They include whether NAR should rescind the "franchisor display" provisions of the IDX policy entirely or seek different ways to enhance the policy.
B. Valuation CommitteeThe NAR Leadership Team is proposing that the current Appraisal Committee be renamed the Valuation Committee, and its membership scope be expanded to include appraisers, brokers and members engaged in other real estate disciplines as deemed appropriate.
C. Nominating CommitteeThe Nominating Committee is presenting recommendations that will define what constitutes a candidate endorsement by a Nominating Committee member, as well as clarify the duties and obligations of an alternate regional committee member. Moreover, the recommendation would clarify written endorsements by entities other than the candidate's home state association.
D. Global Business and Alliances CommitteeREALTOR.com is launching its global site, RELATOR.com International. It will expand the exposure of U.S. listings to international markets, and offer currency and measurement conversion. It will also translate listings into 11 languages, and will also include international listings from the partnering organizations.

I usually cook the leaves only, with sliced onions. Collect a bing bowl full of leaves, if the leaves are big then chop them coarsly. Chop 1 onion into thin slices. Heat 1-2 tbs of oil in awok or a 12 inch pan. Once it is hot add a generous pinch of cumin seeds, let them spluuter. Add onions and cok them on medium till golden brown. Add the leaves, mix them till all the leaves are wilted, season with salt. |

Amaranthus is an incredible edible! I bought seeds this spring with the intention of planting in ground, but we were between houses, and I didn't get the time. So a couple weeks ago, I noticed this huge leafy plant coming up next to our fence. We do have weedy poisonous nightshade volunteers, so I'm very cautious. This doesn't look like the nightshade weeds. It does resemble Amaranths, and there are so many varieties, I'm waiting for it to bloom to be sure! Their seeds are small and easily blown by the wind. Recent thunderstorms might have given them the boost they need. Thanks for the recipe above! The leaves are large and probably too tough for salads. Suzi |

Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout?
Re:Cisco + Scientific Atlanta + Tivo (216 comments)
Yes it might be a good deal for Cisco, I mean they'd be making a ton when TiVo wins this case, but what would TiVo get out of it? I mean it really isn't like the two are incrediblly compatible as far as a related products market goes (i.e. SBC DSL and Cingular (AT&T) Wireless), so there really wouldn't be any profit in that perspective.
Let us examine other possibilities:
Trying to raise capital?
I don't really think so, at the rate that they have been gaining a hold on their market. Plus factor in this lawsuit, does it really seem plausible that they are having enough financial woes to sell out?
New technology?What are they gonna get out of it? Their system works. It doesn't exactly need Cisco.
Ahhh well, I don't see it happening. Just my view.

Sorry. I'm corny. You've been warned.
When I posted about my daughter's Easter dress on Instagram, a friend of mine asked me to make her one. I don't think she thought I'd actually do it, but when she said that, I decided to surprise her with a dress for her own sweet girl. Because I work FT outside of the home, it took me awhile to actually get on it. But I found the perfect fabric at Joann's, and I bought all that they had to make a dress for my girl as well. I can't find it online, but it's Lisette Aqua Dots chambray. I didn't pre-wash it, just because so much of my time is taken up with cloth diaper laundry.
One thing I did this time was to print out the pattern on my home printer and tape it together. Last time, I had it printed at Staples and they don't print on big enough paper, so all the sizes were graded down. Once I got it taped together, I traced the 2T size and cut it out. I made this version with the sleeves, and it was a lot easier than I imagined beforehand. I love it when that happens. As I did last time, I sewed pleats instead of pin tucks. The fabric is subtly busy, so I thought that it would look better that way.
The front of the dress. I added the lace instead of the button tab.
The back. I bound the buttonholes by machine and sewed the buttons by hand.
The hem facing. I only had about 3/4 of a yard to work with, so I chose a complimentary fabric for the facing.
All in all, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. My friend really liked it, and I was glad to bless her with a beautiful handmade dress. I'm looking forward to making another family reunion dress for my daughter since she has outgrown the first one. It will be in the same fabric as the gifted one, but I want to make it sleeveless and try out a few lace details around the armholes. We'll see how it turns out.
*I promise that I have a real camera, it's just hanging out with my husband while he works.

His aunt is retired Command Sgt. Maj. Lucille Crutcher, a native of Douglas, Ga., who enlisted in the United States Army on Dec. 27, 1979. She retired 30 years later after participating in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
"I think this Military Appreciation Day is real good because people don't really give the military as much encouragement as they should. My aunt was in the military for 30 years and I think she should be applauded for that," Davis said.
His brother is in one of the many types of engineer jobs assigned to ships. That's about all Davis knows about ships. He doesn't know what kind or which one his brother is assigned to, only that his older brother has been deployed since about November.
"I think Thanksgiving was the last time I talked to him," Davis said.
Davis, 22, is the youngest of three brothers. The eldest, Kentaiwon Durham, is a guitarist and singer while Corey and Antione are the athletes of the three.
"Kentaiwon never played sports. He tried it one time but it didn't work out for him so he just stuck to singing," he said.
Davis applauds his aunt and brother for being among the relatively small segment of the U.S. population serving in one of the branches of the armed forces. According to a survey released in December 2011 by the Pew Research Center, about one-half of 1 percent of Americans served in uniform at any given time during the first decade of the 21st century.
"My brother has been in the Navy for two or three years. He hasn't been in the Navy that long but he's been going overseas a lot lately," Davis said. "He's on a ship. He's been gone for about three months, but I don't ever ask him too much about it. I really don't know much about the military. My aunt was in the military. My brother is in the military. We really don't have a long line of family who were in the military, so I never really asked questions."
Davis is the only member of the Lee baseball team who has immediate family in the military, so he is not alone in his lack of knowledge about the armed services.
According to a November 2011 Pew report, "A smaller share of Americans currently serve in the U.S. Armed Forces than at any time since the peace-time era between World Wars I and II. … As the size of the military shrinks, the connections between military personnel and the broader civilian population appear to be growing more distant."
The official 2010 Census reported 308.7 million people live in the U.S., a 9.7 percent increase from the Census 2000 population of 281.4 million. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in August 2011 there are 247,834 officers and 1.2 million enlisted in the five military branches.
Davis' aunt did not talk about the military too much when she was around the family.
"If you were around and didn't know she was in the military — she was a sergeant major but she never yelled at us or anything like that, she didn't do stuff like that. You would have never known she was in the military if she didn't tell you," he said.
Another report published by the Pew Center in 2011 showed there were a million more wounded veterans than there were active duty soldiers and sailors. One of 10 veterans alive between July 18, 2011 and Sept. 4, 2011 was seriously injured at some point while serving in the military. Three-quarters of those injuries occurred in combat. The largest share of wounded vets — about 33 percent — served during the Vietnam era of 1964-73. In comparison, 18 percent served in the post-9/11 era, which is about the same as the number of surviving veterans of World War II and the Korean War. About 26 percent served between 1974 and Sept. 11, 2001, a period that includes the 1990-91 Gulf War.
Davis said baseball is his family tradition. A cousin taught him to bat at a very early age and he did not need a stand by the time he started T-ball.
"Major league baseball is like a family tradition. That's all my family did was play basketball or baseball, so I think I just grew into it," he said.
He was the starting first baseman his freshman year in high school and continued at first base until this year, when he moved to right field. He likes the outfield better because there is less stress.
"Out there you just catch fly balls, hit your cutoff man ... and you hit the ball [when your team is batting] and that's it," he said.
The Lee senior will earn his bachelor's degree in a physical education with a minor in coaching, so this is his last season as a Flame. He would love to coach in his hometown or someplace like East Cobb High School in Atlanta. From there, he would like to work his way up to the major college level and maybe into professional baseball.

Heelo Everyone,
I know it's off topic, but i think of it every year as this day approaches. Sept 11, 2001 will always be a day that i will never forget. Today i will be flying as i have all weekend, but i am feeling a sense of sadness again evey time this date rolls around. Many of you were touched in different ways....As was I I just want you all to take a moment to think of all that parished on that day 10 years ago. The crews of(American Airlines) (United Airlines) along with all of the others lost in the World Trades Centers, Pentagon and at the area in Somerset Penn. Today will be one of those days that will make me sad, but being up again in the air gives me this feeling of joy that we have not let anyone stop us from continuing to do as we choose. I know many of my friends have been touched... J Your email from yesterday made the hair on my arms stand on end when you shared what you saw as well. May we all never forget... I used to be able to see the World Trade Centers extend from the tops of the clouds when we would take off from PHL on a clear day. I miss those beautiful buildings... We still fly over of site everytime we fly into LGA and i can still remember the smoke, fire . For two months it still was glowing in the night as we would fly over. Please take time today to just think of those lost. My brother is a firefighter who lost friends up in New York and went straight up to NY from VB without even giving it a second thought. As a crew mamber, we all feel the togetherness of all flight crews that had to get back on those planes on that Friday when we finally we allowed to get back into the air. I was part of that group. It was very hard to do, but im glad i did it to get back in the air. Thank you for taking the time to read what i have to say... Take care everyone.... Laura in VB |

Rest In Peace to all those who passed away on that terrible day 10 years ago. It's a day I will never forget. I remember seeing the dark smoke from my house. I remember when I was little when I would look up from the street to the top of the World Trade Center buildings, and I was never able to actually see where the building ended because of the glare from the sun. I remember how worried people were about their loved ones and friends who were fighting that day and those who were also worried for the many who were just going to work in Lower Manhattan that day. It's a day that changed this country forever, and a day that I would never want to be repeated again, but always to be remembered for the heroes who risked their lives for strangers and the innocent people who died. -Alex |
I don't think anyone will ever forget this day. As it came on my tv, I sat in shock and disbelief. It was hard to watch all the horrible things that happened that day. So many lives lost. My mom has only just passed the day before. So these 2 days really stand out for me. Neysa |

Anj, beautiful job repainting this pumpkin. You come up with the cutest sayings for your projects! The fall side is perfect and will be great after Halloween. Punk |

I love your pumpkins. You did a wonderful job. Like the idea of painting the back. I am going to start doing that. Thanks for sharing. Marylee |
Anj....what is there to be unhappy about....both sides are super! I like flying monkeys and it is a quick reminder of my all time favorite movie. And your "primitive" is beautiful, your shading and highlights and your floats (I hate floating) are so well done...everything is happy to my eye. Belle |

You did a great job of "blinging" it up! I like the glitter. The little candy corns on the wire are a great addition too! As for the other side, you know I love Renee Mullins designs and you certainly painted that one so nicely. I love the idea of using both sides as well, twice the pleasure and half the storage space, right? ;o) Luvs |
Thanks everyone! If you only knew the fits I was having with those dang pumpkins and that house! Who can't paint a straight line??? ME!! lol Glad y'all liked it. The words were already on this one, just had to paint over it all and I could see the faint outline underneath so I redid the lettering as close as I could to the original. =) Yes, Luvs! Exactly! I hope the boutique buyers have the same thoughts! lol ~Anj |
I think you did a wonderful job, love it! |
Really a terrific job! Anj, don't you ever worry about those straight lines. I think that it looks great. (And a stiff line would interrupt the flow). Like the 2 for 1 idea! |

BOKARO: An alert was sounded in the Jharkhand-West Bengal bordering areas after West Bengal police launched its offensive against the CPI (Maoist) members in neighbouring Purulia district.
Bokaro SP Kuldeep Dwivedi has directed police stations situated in the bordering areas of the district to step up security in their respective areas apprehending infiltration of the Maoists from West Bengal. "I have instructed officers-in-charge of the police stations to intensify patrolling, especially near forest areas," said Dwivedi.
On Tuesday, the West Bengal police in a joint operation with security forces gunned down two Maoists in Purulia in an encounter. In the incident, two security personnel were also injured.
West Bengal government has launched anti-Naxalite search operations in Junglemahal zone, which comprises Purulia, Bankura and West Midnapore districts.
The Bokaro-Purulia border covers several kilometers' long stretch starting from Chandankiyari police station to Pindrajora, Jaridih, Kasmar and Petarwar police stations.
Apart from several dozen villages situated near the bordering areas, there are dense forest and hilly terrain.
Kasmar and Petarwar areas, which boast of dense forests and hills, are used as corridor by Naxalites.

Midway through its Four Seasons test, our two-door GTI has quietly piled on a ton of miles: more than 18,000. That total is all the more impressive for the fact that most of the GTI's usage has been in daily commuting and weekend drives-weekends like the one associate web producer Evan McCausland recently recounted:
"I'm fairly certain this is the only car that can put a smile on my face days before I even slide behind the wheel. I somehow managed to snag it for the weekend on Thursday, and spent all of Thursday afternoon and Friday waiting to run out to the garage, jump behind the wheel, and be on my way.
"This car just fires on all cylinders. Space? You've got it. Power? Absolutely. (Although another 10 or 20 ponies would be appreciated.) Dynamics? Superb, especially for a nose-heavy, front-driver. Maturity? In spades. It's comfortable, quiet, and the materials inside are first-rate. Fun? You bet-and the sound of this 2.0T revving through 3000-4000 rpm will make you want to keep your right foot planted to the floor."
He forgot to mention practicality. Production editor Jen Misaros landed the much sought after keys for a weekend and had no trouble sending a family member into the two-door hatch's rear seat.
"My five-foot six-inch back seat passenger had no trouble climbing in and had plenty of leg-, hip-, and headroom," Misaros reported. "The rear seat has side bolsters and a slightly curved seat bottom and is almost as comfortable as the front buckets; it kept her butt planted when I demonstrated what the little GTI can do. Plus, the relatively big rear-quarter window alleviates the claustrophobia that often afflicts rear passengers in coupes and hatchbacks."
Misaros and others are less enthusiastic about the ride quality, which has improved since we reinstalled the summer tires, but is still, in Misaros's words, "too busy, even on what appears to be smooth-as-glass pavement."
Despite the heavy use, the GTI has only briefly seen the service bay of our local VW dealer, visiting once for routine maintenance at the 10,000-mile mark. That's a wonderful contrast to our Four Seasons 2007 GTI, which required three warranty repairs before its odometer hit 18,000 miles. At our next scheduled maintenance, we'll ask the dealer to check out a finicky iPod connector and the small, but noticeable dash squeak that surfaced early on in our test, but has never grown worrisome enough to require a separate trip to the dealer.

I am trying to clean the textured bottom of our bathtubs. I have tried Scrubbing Bubbles, Kaboom, and soaking in diluted bleach, scrubbing each time with a brush. I haven't really seen a difference.
What has worked for you? |
Follow-Up Postings:
The soaking w/ diluted bleach worked for me. Maybe you diluted it too much? Try again, this time w/ stronger bleach. I did scrub it with Comet first. |

I'm a housekeeper at an assisted living facility, and we have textured shower stalls in each apartment. I use the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and they do a great job but do require alot of elbow grease. The only thing on the shower floors the Erasers don't work on (for me) is the rust spots from the shower chairs. For those I use the S.O.S. Pads with lemon or orange in them. So in your case I'd try the magic erasers first, and then if that doesn't work I'd get those SOS pads. I've found the generic magic erasers to be just as good as name brand, but the generic Brillo pads are not nearly as good as those SOS pads with the citric acid. You pay a little more, but they're well worth it! |
Here's a method I found on the web that I'm thinking of trying; if you try this, let us know how it works ! Fiberglass Tub Floor Cleaner recipe 3 cups baking soda Mix baking soda and borax together. Work the cleanser in with the drywall sandpaper and then rinse well. |

On January 2, 1958, celebrated soprano Maria Callas walks off after the first act of a gala performance of Bellini's Norma in Rome, claiming illness. The president of Italy and most of Rome's high society were in the audience, and Callas, known for her volatile temperament, was sharply criticized. It was a characteristic move for the Greek-American diva, who packed as much drama into her personal life as she did on the stage.
Born in New York City in 1923 to Greek immigrants, Callas demonstrated her talent for singing at an early age. When she was 13, she went to Athens to study under the noted soprano Elvira de Hidalgo. Her first major operatic role came in 1947, when she appeared in La Gioconda in Verona. Acclaimed for a powerful soprano voice that lent itself to the difficult coloratura roles, she was soon appearing in opera houses around the world. Her talents made possible the revival of 19th-century bel canto works by Bellini and others that had not been performed for decades. In 1954, the "Divine Callas" made her American debut in Chicago in the title role of Norma, a performance she repeated before a record audience at New York City's Metropolitan Opera.
Callas' stormy personal life was closely watched and exaggerated by the press, as were her professional walkouts and tiffs with rivals. She divorced her husband of many years after becoming involved with Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, but he later left her when he fell in love with the widowed Jackie Kennedy. In the 1970s, Callas' career rapidly declined, and she died in 1977 from unknown causes at the age of 53.

"Hard to find a card that works for twin graduates. This one was perfect. Took their professional senior photos and popped them in the front, the diagonal really served to separate and make them both important. Loved the picture availability on the back which allowed me to put in photo of the two together as babies and in their college sweatshirts. Had to be brief in my language on the front, but that made for a better card. Received many compliments as to the quality!"
"We used these for a Graduation Open House Invitation. Loved everything about them. It was nice to have an invitation that showed off a senior picture so nicely. The banner was in the perfect spot!"
"Card Stock was impressive, the 2 pictures I added were clear and crisp. The reviewer made sure my details and add-ons I wanted were implemented. Shipping was faster than expected. The Guests loved the invites. Overall a very pleasant experience!"
"It was pretty easy to design the card with the tools Tiny Prints provides. I wish there was more space for the text, however it still came out quite professional-looking. The quality of the paper & printing was above & beyond what I expected."
"Shipment arrived early!! ,Announcements are just perfect!! I'll use Tiny Prints again when my next child needs invitations for his graduation!!"

Many of your know that I've been reading Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's epic run of Fantastic Four #1-102 by way of the Marvel Masterworks series. I finished it a few weeks ago and although I had a few problems with the early stories I have come to realize that Stan and Jack were just getting the Marvel Universe off and running and the characters themselves had yet to come into their own. The best of the FF was came in Volume Five where the team met The Inhumans, The Black Panther and Galactus and his herald, The Silver Surfer. The latter half of the run where – again, while great – had a few bumps in the road. The stories seemed forced with too much bickering between Johnny Storm, The Human Torch and Ben Grimm, The Thing. Sue Storm (Invisible Girl) was still the lady-in-waiting even though she was married to Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic). Always the clod, Reed treated his three extended family members like has-beens. Going into the run I had always disliked The Thing for his self-loathing, but I have now come to have no respect for Reed. Empty promises and lies to Ben, giving no credit for Johnny for saving Earth from Galactus and being a terrible husband to Sue. Even in the pages of Fantastic Four in comic shops right today, Reed is a liar and self-absorbed. And that will always be his problem – not trusting in his fellow team members or family. Shame on him. It also didn't help that one of the Fantastic Fours greatest adversary Namor, The Sub-Mariner, did not appear between #33 and #102.
But it was Fantastic Four #98, May 1970, that had me the most dumbfounded. This issue celebrates the Apollo 11 moon landing from July 1969 (you must forego any continuity to real world time). With all his brilliance; with all his scientific know-how; with all his "I must help and save the human race", it seems that Reed has never bothered to share his achievements with the US government or more specifically, NASA! We as readers know that the Fantastic Four had already traveled to the moon on more than one occasion to visit The Watcher. We also know that the Earth has been visited by alien species (the Kree and The Skrulls) and the Human Torch and The Thing has traveled half way across the cosmos on separate occasions! But noooooo, Reed has some sort or Prime Directive with his own planet and thus gives no tech or guidance to the astronaut crew. The ending makes it seem that Neil Armstrong is the first man on the moon, however we know Reed was first — in April 1963 (oh and the human villain The Red Ghost was also on the moon.
But now that my FF is done I went ahead and picked up Stan and Jack's other creation in Masterwork form – The Silver Surfer Volumes 1-2 (this time with pencils by John Buscema). Collected here is the full run of #1-18 from August 1986 – September 1970. It was not a lighthearted read by any stretch. The premise is a sequel to The Galactus Trilogy (Fantastic Four #48-50, March – May 1966) and deals with the Surfer's exile on Earth. Most of all it's a prison story. The Silver Surfer is confined to Earth and some space above our planet, but how far out is never told. It is here that we learn more about the man Norrin Radd. Every comic is that of despair. He longs for space travel and to see his beloved Shalla-Bal from his home planet of Zenn-La. The Silver Surfer, is good-hearted and forgiving even though he keeps running into diabolical humans, monsters, witches, and super villains like Doctor Doom who have it in for him. He even fights with Thor, Human Torch, and Spider-Man for no real good reason. It's upsetting to see that the Silver Surfer's faith in humanity fades with every turn of the page. In the pages of #17 it looks like Mephisto may finally get his way with him. Transporting Shalla-Bal to Earth, he and makes a deal with the Surfer that if he destroys Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. he will be free and be with his woman forever more. However Mephisto places Shalla-Bal in S.H.I.EL.D. HQ in hopes that the Silver Surfer will kill her too by mistake, and thus go bat-shit crazy and destroy the Earth leaving Mephisto ruler of a dead world. The plan is thwarted but Mephisto may have gotten closer to his master plan without even realizing it. In #18 we meet the Silver Surfer in mid-fight with The Inhumans! How he got there we do not know, but it's good to see Jack Kirby back on the pencils. At the end, our "hero" is so enraged at the human race that he vows to finally take matters in his own hands. This is what Mephisto wanted all along. Unfortunately the series abruptly ends and we are left with perhaps the biggest cliffhanger the Marvel Bullpen has ever created. As you know the Silver Surfer would calm down and become a hero here on Earth (with The Defenders) and in the vastness of space thanks to the 1982 one-shot by John Byrne and Stan Lee.
Speaking of The Inhumans, that is where I turn to next in my extended Fantastic Four/Lee & Kirby family of Marvel Masterworks. But I'm a bit perplexed as to why Silver Surfer #17 (September 1970) is not included in The Inhumans Volume 1. After all this Two Volume Masterworks series collects all the Inhuman back up stories from Thor and Amazing Adventures. It would have been easy to add in SS #17 and place it in between Marvel Super-Heroes #15 (July 1968) and Amazing Adventures #1 (August 1970). Yes, it is more of a Surfer story then Inhuman, but it would have given context to just where Black Bolt & Co. have been with their ongoing fight with Maximus. It should be pointed out that on September 18, 2013, Marvel will release a more comprehensive Inhumans collection with Inhumans: The Origin Of The Inhumans TP, Fantastic Four (1961) #36, #38, #41-47, #54, #62-65 and Annual #5, plus portions of #48, #50, #52 and #55-61; and material from Thor (1966) #146-152, $39.99. A Volume 2 would start with the aforementioned Marvel Super-Heroes #15. We'll have to wait and see if Silver Surfer #17 gets included.
