"Has your life become unmanageable? Getting the right help with pornography addiction, sex addiction, or substance abuse for yourself or a loved one can be the breakthrough that changes everything. LightSource Counseling offers expert therapy for the complex issues experienced by the addicted and their loved ones, by bringing to the forefront necessary strategies for recovery. Through a twelve-step program and a range of cutting-edge techniques, our program meets people where they are, and provides needed resources to put addictions into remission and lives back together. This healing and empowering process is facilitated by the compassion and expertise of someone who understands.
"'How does that make you feel?' These are the dreaded counseling words for many! Emotions can be difficult to manage, and the ways we cope with our more difficult emotions can often create even more negativity. Just think of the depressed person who turns to substances to numb the pain or the unhappy couple who argue or ignore each other instead of facing their issues, creating even more relationship distance. There are so many ways to get stuck in cycles of negative emotions and behaviors, but we don't have to stay stuck!

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 Peanut!
Facts about Peanut
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Peanut's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with cats.
Peanut is a sweet, shy grey tabby, the sister of Handsome Boy and Little One who also live in our Community Room. When she came to us, she was playful and loved human interaction. She was a regular lap cat. But she does not get as much human attention as she wants and needs in the Community Room; she has become shy and tends to stay on her perch high on the wall. Peanut needs a calm forever home with adults who will help her find her inner kitten so she shed her shyness and can become the wonderful companion cat she once was. Peanut would do best as an only cat or with one of her siblings who currently share the Community Room.
Other Pets at Branford Compassion Club
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peanut, a North Branford 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 North Branford, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in North Branford.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in North Branford 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 North Branford 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 North Branford paves the way for another one to be saved.

The FTC Privacy report "Do Not Track" – a missed opportunity
Privacy and AccuracyAs readers of this blog will know, I am a strong advocate of online privacy… That may sound strange coming from a web analytics evangelist. However, if we as an industry do not sort these privacy issues out, there is a real danger that web analytics as we know it today will disappear completely.
So, following the recent excellent post from Phil Kemelor on The FTC Privacy Report, "Do Not Track" Options and Web Analytics, I wanted to also add my take here…
I was disappointed with the FTC Privacy report for only tackling the issue of Personally Identifiable Information (PII). To my knowledge, all developed countries have good data protection laws on this already. Essentially, this means, "you" can only store PII data with the explicit person's permission, and you must reveal this to the person concerned should they request it. See for example the UK Data Protection Act.
What I was hoping for from the FTC, was a position on non-PII data collection. That is, collecting data that does not DIRECTLY identify the individual. I emphasise directly, because with so many web data points available from an anonymous user, it is possible for an organisation to "triangulate" non-PII data and build up a pretty sophisticated profile of the person – ultimately identifying them.
A classic case of this happening was the AOL data scandal of 2006. This involved the release of a large volume of "anonymised" search query data, intended for research purposes, that NYT journalists (and others) were able to analyse and subsequently identify people with.
Track in Aggregate
I think (hope!) web users are pretty savvy when it comes to sharing their PII data on the web – in the same way you wouldn't share your PII with a stranger in the street.
Tracking individuals as "individuals" on the web (as opposed to in aggregate), even when anonymous, poses a greater privacy threat – as it is unregulated. As more people realise this, we could reach a critical mass of people blocking vendor tools such as Omniture, Google Analytics, Coremetrics etc., to the point where the data is so unrepresentative that it is meaningless.
The answer is to only* track your web visitors in aggregate - that is, looking at metrics that represent a segment/group, rather than an individual. In that way, an individual can never be identified. Yes, this is a compromise. Individual data is much more interesting to marketers – "we could target a potential customer with laser-like precision". But in reality this rarely happens – after all, the visitor is still anonymous, which means there is still a lot of guess work to be done with your laser.
IF (and its a big if), all web analytics reporting was conducted in aggregate, I feel the privacy fear many people have with web analytics, would all but disappear – safe guarding our industry long into the future. That's a very large up-side compared to the very small down-side of not having individual visitor level data.
As always, I would be interested in your comments on this subject…
*If a visitor is an existing customer, subscriber or previously given you their PII, then of course tracking them as an individual makes sense – so long as they "identify" themselves each session i.e. log in.

March 7th, 2011 at 1:36 amI'd like to say this is the first post I read from you Brian, I am seeking to educate a group of people on the benefits of anyaltics, split testing, and understanding conversions as it pertains to their web business activity.
You brought to light a good point with PII, I run across many sites that are setup for affiliate marketing that do not even have TOS or Privcay Statement information on them.
I am willing to bet most of them do not even protect their physical systems well enough.
Brian Clifton Says:
February 16th, 2011 at 9:37 pmStephen: you make a very good point. No one bothers to trawl through "individual" data even if they have it. You would be surprised as the number of vendors that list it as a USP though…
Stephan Says:
February 11th, 2011 at 11:36 amAbsolutely. Indeed there are the *other* tools that want to track each individual's behavior throughout the website, even let you popup a window to invite them to a 1-to-1 personalized chat. How scalable is that? I mean, how much time can you devote to each individual visitor? And how significant is the data for one visitor? What decisions can you take? What actions?
Only aggregates can scale. Individual data is fun to play with for a mom&pop ecommerce site (and also obtrusive to begin with), but for large scale websites, I just don't get it.

Shrek 2, which features voiceovers from Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, was nominated for two Oscars in 2005.

Boy has it been a while since I have logged into Friendsation. Just to make clear.....I started writing blogs with Jed above about a year ago.....the idea was to have a he said she said type of column going on in which people could post replies and comments about a certain topic. If you look back in the Cats and Dogs archives, you will see some pretty funny blogs to tell you the truth.
The site shut down for a good three or four months....I would go back and check everynow and then to see if it was back up and vwualla. Here it is. Back in action.
Now, I have to start thinking of things to write about, like sex and stuff like that..It has to be interesting of course and knowing me....I could write for hours and hours and hours....but, not tonight.
Does anyone have any questions they want to talk about or write about? Does anyone have any questions about life, love or sex that I could ponder and write about? JUST curious......if so, let me know. I will have to write a blog about it and we can have some discussions.....or whateva........................see ya lata....ttyl. bye.

Social Media for Startups: FAQ & Portfolio
"We hired Aubre as a social media consultant to help us manage our social media channels. As a startup, we needed someone who could jump in and understand our business and what we needed immediately, and Aubre did just that. It was a pleasure working with her, and I expanded my own knowledge of social media strategy by one thousand percent! She prepared detailed reports for us and delivered all projects on time. She also wrote excellent copy for our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest accounts."
- Shayna Mace, Creative Director at IRISTOCRACY.com
I've done the in-house thing, I've freelanced for agencies, and I've worked directly with companies. Right now, I'm focusing on working with startups because I have an entrepreneurial heart and I want to help startups succeed with words. Read my complete FAQ on social media for startups, which includes pricing information and social media statistics. I've also got a serious list of testimonials you should check out.
My 20+ past social media clients have included EXPRESS, American Family Insurance, Six Flags, Spectrum Brands, Home City Ice, Monk's Bar & Grill, Quikly, IRISTOCRACY, EuropeanMarket, Haversham & Baker, Grill Daddy, and more.
Q. What services do you offer?
A. Company Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and blog building and management as well as personal Twitter and blog management. That's right, I'm a ghost tweeter and ghost blogger. Wonder how those other entrepreneurs are launching their business and still looking looped into the industry to potential investors and clients? They're probably paying someone else to do it.
I can fully manage your presences for you (most expensive), offer a one-time only extensive strategic plan (middle option), or write up monthly copy in a word document that you post yourself (cheapest).
Q. Why do I need a social media consultant anyway?
A. Because social media is important. And as an entrepreneur, it's unlikely that you have time to do it and to do it right. But I do. And I have plenty of experience, which is imperative to a successful social media presence. You can create the pages, but the "if you build it, they will come" mantra doesn't apply here. You have to constantly manage your presences – and manage them correctly – for them to be a success. (More on that in the next question.)
Consider this an investment in your marketing plan for the year. Many companies are finding new consumers on social media and are building relationships with their current consumers through great content, great customer service, and great interaction.
Q. OK, but why should YOU be my social media consultant?
A. If you work with an ad agency, they'll charge you $30,000+ per year and they'll farm out your business to a freelancer like me anyway – if you're lucky. Or they'll assign an inexperienced "expert" to your account who will leave the project after a few weeks. I used to freelance for ad agencies until their flawed system became apparent to me. Trust me, you're better off working with an independent contractor who actually cares about your business, will stick with you on the project from start to finish, and won't take advantage of your social media cluelessness and overcharge you for simple actions.
Also, I only take on a handful of social media clients at one time. I want to make sure I have enough time to spend on each client's work.
Q. What makes a social media presence successful?
A. Interaction. It's not about the number of followers you have. Period. It's whether or not the fans you have are true fans. Other attributes of successful pages include:
- contact information
- consistent content
- a friendly "voice"
- a two-way dialogue with customers
- followers who post positive reviews – unsolicited!
- a variety of posts (images, video, text)
- fans who share and comment on the company's content
- promoted posts and ads – an evil necessity but one I have a lot of experience with
Q. So how can we achieve that?
A. With practice. And by working with me. I've ran successful social media campaigns and contests for big brands like EXPRESS, Six Flags, American Family Insurance, Home City Ice, Rosewood Hotels, and Spectrum Brands as well as for smaller companies and startups like Quikly.com, Iristocracy.com, EuropeanMarket.us, St. John's School, Monk's Bar & Grill, and a NYC fashion boutique.
In each situation, I put my creativity to the test to develop unique and engaging posts that spawn interaction. It's a process – it takes a few months to grow and understand the community. To see what they like. To find a voice. It's not an instantaneous thing. It's like feeding kindling to a fire.

A manip is a photo manipulation, often depicting TV and movie characters in situations different from canon. Manips alter and manipulate the photo source (often a screencap or promo picture) in such a way that it shows something different than it did before. Manips can be used as fanfiction covers, banners, and illustrations. They are also used in vids, icons, and multimedia installations, and of course they can stand on their own as individual artworks.
The most well-known manip artists in the mailing list age of online fandom were The Theban Band, with their highly refined and realistic slash manips in several fandoms. Since that time, better tools have also made it easier to produce high quality manips, and DVD source has made it easier to acquire high-quality screencaps. Eventually, more and more fanartists began to create artistic works in this medium.
The first use of a photomanipped image in a fanzine is not known. However, fanzine publisher Kathy Resch remembers that:From Dribbling Scribbling Women: The History of Our Art:...the first pieces of CGA art I published were three pieces by DJW in 1994 in T'hy'la # 15. They accompanied Amanda Warrington's story The Kiss. [1]
Kathy also printed the first CGA to be published in K/S fandom. She tells us, "I published several CGAs in T'hy'la 15 (May 1994) to accompany Amanda W's story 'The Kiss.' The CGAs were created by her husband, DJW. I do not know the name of the photo manipulation program he used, but it was the first time I encountered this concept. I visited her during this time and her husband demonstrated the program to me. I was fascinated by what he was able to achieve, and even more so, by the implications of what similar programs would be able to accomplish in the future. I recognized right away that this was a new art form. I knew immediately I wanted to print work of this type as well as traditional hand artwork.
External material
Sometimes external material (ie, not a screencap) is used in a photomanip. In the 1990s when this kind of fanart first began to appear, it occasionally was referred to derisively as "head replacement pictures" (My hed iz pastede on yay) implying that no great artistic skill was needed to create photomanips. Other fans felt uncomfortable about explicit manips because they appeared to be too close to RPF[2][3], especially when the "base" pictures used were of the actor, not the character.
Pros and Cons
In 1999, a fan wrote that she didn't consider this sort of artwork "real":A fan in 2001 wrote:I think I've only seen computer generated work by this artist, so it was a treat to see an actual drawing of Alison's... I vastly appreciate and enjoy this drawing over any computerized photos, partially because, no matter how expertly done, I'm always aware that it's photos put together and it doesn't exist. [4]
Another fan in 2001 drew a different sort of line:The 'ugh' factor brings me to my soapbox topic, something I've been thinking about for a while. I refer to computer-manipulated photographs. Most of the ones I've come across have been in Sentinel fandom, and many are beautiful images, but I have also seen some really explicit shots where the very recognisable actors' heads have been superimposed on bodies in very, very explicit poses. This really is beginning to worry me, as it seems an extension of actor slash. Somehow artwork never seems so bad, as it is obviously a work of imagination and creation; there used to be a comment in the early K/S days that a picture was a very good Kirk, but not much like Shatner. The dividing line seemed so much clearer. What do others think, especially given that the photo manipulations could be picked up by outsiders? Is it fair to the actors? [5]
In 2002,a fan had this to say:I have only seen these in K/S and XF. I am not a fan of ones where the head is stuck on someone else's body, not because I ever considered the unfairness to the actor, but simply because you can tell at once that the body is not Kirk or Mulder or whoever. As [name redacted] said, a lot of very muscular porn-type bodies are used, and thats not the character's. If it's the character or even the actor you like, why would you want to change the bodies that attracted you? Its like those people who say they love a character and then proceed to rape and generally put him through hell. As [name reacted] said, maybe it's to show their strength but I don't like it. But back to the pix, I only like ones that manipulate scenes from the series and look more natural. Two of my favourites are XF. One is a pic where Mitch Pileggi (Skinner) was hamming it up for the cameras at some do by kissing Robert Patrick (Doggett) on the cheek - this was manipulated by changing RP for David D. Another one is of an off-duty Pileggi with his arm around DD who is holding up his hand to show his wedding ring. These two bodies were taken from separate photos but blended seamlessly. Giving these examples I've just realised I prefer manipulated pix that show affection and love rather than explicit scenes. [6]
In 2006, a fan wrote:
In 2008, a fan extolls Photoshop and how it can make anyone an artist:photo manips I find hard to look at, especially when they're quite explicit. I think it crosses a bit too far into infringing on the actors somehow... Can't help but wonder how they'd feel if they saw an actual photo of themselves like that - drawings seem less real somehow, but maybe I'm just being old-fashioned about that... [8]
I do agree with you that CGAs/CGIs are a new phase for fandom and I'm forever grateful I stumbled onto the means to create them. I am the furthest thing from an artist, and yet I am able to bring bits from here and bits from there together so we can see Kirk and Spock in situations and poses that we might not otherwise see. It's the most fun I've ever had! I can remember looking at pictures of K&S in magazines back in the 80's and thinking, if only they were standing closer together, if only Kirk had his hand on Spock's shoulder, if only, if only... Photoshop has made this possible not only for me but for anyone who wants to give it a try. I'm amazed and delighted by it all and knowing it brings excitement to another K/S lover makes it all the more thrilling. [9]
Crossing the Streams
It is generally considered bad fannish behavior to show sexually explicit or nude photomanips of characters to the actors who play them, as it is considered creepy. It is usually a third party, not the actual photomanip artist, who decides it would be a good idea to do this. The Theban Band has been especially visible in this regard.

Yaalon's military pedigree largely mirrors that of outgoing defence minister Ehud Barak. Before reaching the high command, they both headed Israel's premier special forces regiment, in which Netanyahu served as a junior officer, and thus enjoy decades-old rapports with him. There the similarities end.
Barak, a centrist one-time premier, was crafty in statecraft and conferred monthly in Washington, though his maverick views were seldom welcomed within Netanyahu's nationalist coalition.
Yaalon, said Asa-El, "is less impulsive, more low-key, more calculated and generally more modest" than Barak.
He can also be impolitic. That may make it harder for Yaalon to explain Israel's West Bank settlements, overseen by the Defence Ministry, to foreign leaders who believe they undermine any prospect for revived peace talks with the Palestinians.
Whereas Barak consistently voiced trust in U.S. President Barack Obama, Yaalon last year questioned his resolve to curb Iran. After the Democrat's reelection to the White House in November, however, Yaalon took a different tack, noting with approval U.S. military mobilisation in the Gulf.
Dennis Ross, a former Obama adviser on the Middle East, said that while Yaalon will get American respect for his experience in uniform, Barak's legacy will be difficult to live up to.
"No successor (to Barak) will come in with that same kind of stature" in the Obama administration's eyes, Ross told Reuters.
Known by his childhood nickname "Bogie", Yaalon led Israeli commandos in the 1988 assassination in Tunis of PLO strongman Abu Jihad. As general he favored tough tactics against Palestinians revolting in the West Bank and Gaza - putting him in the sights of war-crimes suits by their supporters abroad.
He now faces new domestic fights in the form of defence budget cuts and a long-delayed review of the exemptions enjoyed by many ultra-Orthodox Jews from compulsory national service.

My Mother And Me – 1950
Notwithstanding my announcement that this blog would be dormant while I spent a few days with my mother in the Ozarks, I had nurtured hopes of posting a poignant anecdote about my mother that would somehow offer a bit of insight into her maternal psychology. No such narrative has emerged.
Although my mother was, by far, the predominant force in raising me, I can come up with three stories about my father and me for every episode that features Mom. I think that apparent paradox is the consequence of my childhood being flooded with interactions with my mother that formed the background for all my own activities and the matrix of my inner life. On the other hand, whatever happened between my Dad and me stands out in relief, bracketed by periods during which I was, if not ignored, certainly not in his spotlight.
I don't recall a time when I wasn't in my mother's spotlight.
The photo of my mother and me atop this post, discovered yesterday while excavating a section of Mom's collections, goes far toward explaining this phenomenon.
Standard psychoanalytic theory holds that one's sense of self originates in the infant's awareness of the mother's unconditional (and, indeed, unreasonable) empathic care radiating from her eyes. The mother provides a nascent identity for the child, which, if all goes well, is, during one's childhood, adapted and internalized as a psychological element independent of the external world.
Now, take a look at that photo. That young woman, who has recently become a mother while living in a tiny, poorly insulated, inexpertly constructed home in rural southwest Missouri in 1950, helping her husband try to make a living selling used cars, and tending to the remnants of their failed farm, should, by rights, be as upset as the squalling child in her arms. Instead, she gazes upon him with undiluted, unmixed approval, acceptance, and love.
And I grew up knowing intuitively that, regardless of my mistakes, errors, or misbehaviors, my mother continued to gaze upon me with undiluted, unmixed approval, acceptance, and love.
So, I have no wonderful stories about my mother today, not because my history with her is empty of touching moments but because that history is too rich and interlocked to provide convenient post-size chunks of inspiration. It is, instead, the kind of history a son needs with his mother.

We are hoping to soon replace the circa 1980 pickled oak cabinets in our kitchen, which is a small, L shaped room that opens into a larger dining area. While I love white cabinets, every KD I've spoken to advises against them, due to our busy house with 5 kids still at home and the wear and tear they'll get. More importantly, my husband really wants wood in the kitchen.
My requirements to work around: my small kitchen is a workhorse, as multiple food issues require I cook most everything from scratch, so it must be durable. While our house is a 50's split-level, we have a lot of old/antique furnishings, and would love to incorporate my collection of Jadeite and old pyrex in colors like turquoise and yellow. In the adjoining dining area, which is feet from the last of the kitchen cabinets, I have a 70" antique quartersawn oak buffet - probably from an old country store - that I'm going to have a matching glass top made for by a custom carpenter. My cabinets, however, will be stock, either Candlelight, if we can afford, or Legacy, if we cannot. While I'm not going to try to match the buffet, I'd like whatever wood we choose for the kitchen to compliment it. Cherry, for instance, would be too busy IMO. That room also houses a huge table with a stained alder top and black enameled legs, and Hitchcock chairs. So, my question for the amazingly creative people on this forum (I've read your posts, I know you are!), is what type of wood - and countertop - might you choose? I'll be most likely going with a simple shaker door, with cup pulls, either brushed nickel or black, depending on the wood and countertop. One other note - the kitchen is in the center of the house, and while the dining addition is bright and has natural light, the actual kitchen has little, so while I love darker countertops, I don't know that I can get away with them.
Follow-Up Postings:
I think you need white cabinets...easy to touch up or even repaint if needed. Wood finish varnish gets that patina which requires refinishing. Nancy |

Rustic Alder in medium stain, to lessen the emphasis on the knots. |
It is a big fallacy that all vintage kitchens were white. Many were gumwood, quarter sawn oak or other fine woods. Here is a link to, IMO,the best vintage kitchen I have seen on this site. Sayde restored her orginal gumwood cabs so I do not think you can use this wood in your house, but a similar look could be achieved with a quarter sawn oak. Good luck. |

Roarah, I love the look on the link you sent! I love the marble counters too, and think my kitchen needs a dose of bright like that, but want to find something more durable than marble or the superwhite I also love. Any suggestions there? I'll check out the quartersawn oak when I next go to the cabinet shop. Jumpilotmdm, I chose an alder I really liked as a possibility, thanks for seconding that idea without knowing it. Nancy, I love white, really I do. But for the sake of domestic harmony - and probably a cleaner looking kitchen - I will likely go with wood. Thank you! |
- Posted by bmorepanic (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 10:47
Picture of the buffet would help a lot. Some are stained and some have various colors of shellac on top. It's hard to tell what wood would go with something that I've never seen. |
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 11:03
Nothing says that painted cabinets have to be white. Yellow would be a nice complement to both the oak and the color of pottery that you collect. In fact, with budget being a concern, I'd look at painting what exists as the first option rather than replacing. If they are in decent shape, but just dated, paint can work miracles. There is also no shame in using laminate for the counters. Both Wilsonart and Formica have developed marble lookalikes that would look great on yellow cabinets. Take out the center panel on one or two of them and put in glass, and paint the interior in the jade or turquoise as a subtle accent. |
- Posted by aimskitchen (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 12:37
Thanks for continued input. I'm uploading a few pics - the glare was bad and my batteries quit before I got it adjusted, but these will do for now to give an idea of the buffet and what the wood is like. Forgive the poor quality. And Live Wire Oak, love yellow. I think the paint vs wood itself is what we're working out - I love painted most any color, husband loves wood. We've thought long and hard about painting existing cabinets but between a good deal of wear on builder grade cabinets, and needing to do some reformating for more counter space, we'll be replacing instead. I love some of those laminates you mention but had only seen darker ones I'd loved - I will look again for lighter ones. It's good to hear votes for laminates as we've been considering them vs stone. Love your color suggestions! |

Another question: I read that alder is one of the softer woods. It's held up well on our table, but I'd love to hear how people feel it holds up in cabinetry for a busy household and well-used kitchen. |
- Posted by aimskitchen (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 16:35
Another question: should I be worried about alder being one of the softer woods? It's held up well on our table, but I wonder how it holds up in kitchen cabinets in well-used, busy kitchens. |
- Posted by bmorepanic (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 12 at 18:36
Really like paint or thermofoil for your kitchen. You've already got two shades of oak (floor and cabinet) and I'd be hesitant to add another wood. If I was adding a wood, I'd want it to be a bit darker than the buffet piece to a lot darker. I wouldn't "rustic" it up - it doesn't seem to go with your collections. Sagebrook, Flagstone, English Linen, Creme Brulee in painted finishes in order that I would use them with your stuff. (if candlelight cabinetry is the right candlelight?) For dynasty(omega), magnolia, alma for painted-like finish. For wood, Burnished on Qtr Sawn White Oak, followed by Embers on walnut. For dynasty, I'm actually drawn to the gray wood finishes - porch swing or Riverbed. I wouldn't do alder but would think about oak if they had a close color match. I might do a wood that matched my dining pieces or something like that. |
- Posted by aimskitchen (My Page) on Tue, Sep 18, 12 at 7:25
Sorry about the double post; I didn't see the first show up and tried again. bmorepanic (love the name), thanks for the great suggestions. I've been concerned about the mix of woods as well as about the issue of light/darkness in the small kitchen, which is in the center of a house with a northern exposure; it doesn't get a lot of natural light. I'm looking more into painted finishes because it is what I'd really like, but I hadn't considered those colors, thank you. Love the grayish idea, hmmm. |

Should the U.S. scrap the dollar bill?
As the federal government attempts to cut costs, the dollar bill itself has gotten caught in a tug of war.
On one side are proponents of the traditional paper currency; on the other are those who want to replace it with more durable metal coins.
"Most people take the dollar bill somewhat for granted. It's always been there, it's reliable, it's a symbol of our nation's history, it's a symbol of our nation's economic strength," said David Crane, spokesman for Americans for George, a group lobbying on behalf of the familiar greenback bearing George Washington's portrait.
Crane is also vice president and an eighth-generation paper maker serving as vice president of Crane & Co., a Massachusetts business that is the sole paper supplier for U.S. currency.
Jim Kolbe, a former congressman from Arizona who heads the Dollar Coin Alliance, an organization in favor of the coin, said the American currency system is outdated.
"It's important that we have a currency that works, that people will use instead of having to always use credit cards."
The American dollar bill has been around since 1862, when the federal government issued the first ever round of $1 notes, and inflation has since taken a toll on the buying power of a dollar.
"It's time to recognize the realities, the toll that inflation's (had)," Kolbe said. "It's time to recognize that toll and to simply modernize the currency."
This is not the first time Congress has seen a push for the dollar coin.
A decades-long debate saw a resurgence following a 2011 report released by the Governmental Accountability Office (GAO), an independent, nonpartisan congressional watchdog agency that has examined the issue five times since 1990. According to the agency's report from this past March, the federal government would save $5.5 billion over 30 years by making the switch.
"With our nation's debt now over $15 trillion, Congress must look at every area of the federal government, big or small, to save money," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., co-sponsor of a bill that would do away with the greenback.
Sen. John Kerry and Scott Brown, the Democratic and Republican senators from Massachusetts, home of Crane & Co., have proposed opposing legislation to end production of the dollar coin for good.
Brown asked the GAO to reexamine the issue one more time, giving different possible scenarios of how the switch could play out.
The GAO complied, releasing a report Feb. 15 with alternative scenarios. Still, the agency contends that the federal government would save money --albeit $1 billion less than previously projected.
As the debate ensues, 1.4 billion brand new dollar coins are sitting unused in Federal Reserve vaults (the U.S. Mint suspended the presidential dollar coin program in December 2011 to cut federal spending) while the Bureau of Engraving and Printing printed 2.9 billion $1 notes in 2011.
Crane said the change would cost his company hundreds of jobs as the $1 bill makes up a significant amount of the company's production. The lowest-denomination notes make up 45 percent of the currency production at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
"Would we survive?" Crane asked rhetorically. "Yeah, I suppose we would; we would just be smaller -- we'd have to figure out a way to downsize the company and a number of these jobs would just go away and not come back."
Bob Opiela, a tourist visiting Washington from Pheonixville, Pa., said he likes the coins -- until he found out they might become the new normal.
"I think that would be terrible," Opiela said. "I think people are used to dollar bills. They're kind of easier to carry; you can put them in your wallet or purse."
Like Congress, the people we spoke to were split on the issue.
Would you be in favor of scrapping the dollar bill?
"Absolutely, throw the penny in there as well," said David Wall, a government employee from Washington, DC.

This product has been discontinued
More reviews by alizkandariyya
I wanted to like this stuff, but even though it looked nice when it first went on, it is slightly problematic that it DESOLVES WHEN YOU WASH YOUR HANDS! It didn't improve or damage my nails, but if you wash your hands more than once per day (and I hope you do!), then this is definitely not worth the time.
I had some nail polish when I was about 5 made for kids that just peels off your nails & isn't permanent. This reminds me alot of that. And at the tips of you nails it kinda sticks off the end in globs.
Overall, nice in theory but completely impractical. Just stick with clear polish.
This stuff works like magic for me. I've never been able to grow my weak nails past the end of my fingers unless I polish, etc.. every day, something not possible for a busy mom with four kids and a business. With this product, I swipe it on in 30 seconds after my morning shower and enjoy longer, strong, healthy-looking nails without another thought. I no longer have to hide short, ugly nails from other people. I love it. One of my 4 used bottles did clog up, and I had to replace, but the others worked like a charm.
I love this product. As a makeup artist, my hands are always in and out of water, hand sanitizer and other cleansers/products. I can barely keep one coat of a strengthener on my nails, much less regular nail polish (except for a sheer coat of a high shimmer/light glitter polish on occasion) for more than a day.
I used to love getting my nails done, and when I started doing makeup I even went the "gels" route - ruined my natural nails that have always been strong. It took me forever to get them back to normal, with the use of the Jessica Nail System (wonderful productst, too!). So this nail enhancer is a gift to those of us who can't hold a french manicure or any other fresh look, but need a touch of shine with some extra strength. It wears off after a day or so, but never looks bad or unprofessional. Some of my cleansers remove a portion of it, but I don't really care. It's still worth it and it's so quick!
One other product I play with for my nails, especially during the winter when my naturally hard nails get brittle, is Jessica "Bend Don't Break". I can actually get a couple of days of wear, out of a coat of it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
for the first 2 uses, I loved this product. it gave a nice, natural shine and disguised chips.
BUT, after 2 -3 times, the product just won't come out of the tube. I shake, squeeze, press down on tip...everything. I thought it was just the one I bought, but nope...2nd purchase did the same thing. I won't buy this a third time. a clear nail polish will do the same thing for me.
right now, this is a holy grail product for me. i'd been using nail strengtheners, (nailtiques, etc), and they all acted, more or less, like nail polish---built up, had to be removed with remover. and chipped, instead of always looking smooth and lightly shiny. with this, my nails always look neat and shiny. they don't crack and break as much as they used to--and i can see a difference if i stop using it for a week. and the polish just rubs off in the shower, leaving nails clean for a new coat. i have and use both versions of this--i wish they would come out with a pale pink/ peach or rose--some other hint of color or opalescence. its a great product; i haven't found anything else like it.
The packaging is great, I didn't have any problems with it. I also liked how it dried so fast. But I dont like the smell and it doesnt really do anything for my nails.
im using the pearl sheen one.
looove it cuz either i cant nail polish good at home or all those nail polish make my nail weak!! my nails have a tendency to peel/ rip/ break/ whatever in recent years for no reasons at all and instant nail enhancer saves my nail! i would love to see more color selections though...
one thing i dun like about it is that it always comes off in shower and i dun usually have time to re-apply before i go out (since i shower in the morning). another i that the dispenser is sometimes hard to use, either too much or nothing at all.
This gives a smooth, natural but flawless look to my pitted nails. Unlike nail polish, it does not contain phthalates, and it doesn't peel off and look terrible in a few days.
Overall, I think this product is OK. I bought the Buffed Sheen. I agree w/ other reviewers that if you get too much on, then it peels and becomes gummy. I do like the brush though - great idea! It also makes your nails look nice, not too shiny.
The only complaint I really have is that it doesn't last long on your nails - for me it hasn't lasted a whole day & then you can see spots where you have sheen & spots where it is just bare nail. So, the constant re-application is a little annoying, but it does dry SUPER fast. Also, to me, this smells a little like super-glue.
I think this is an interesting idea & am still undecided as to whether I will re-purchase.
I bought this in Buffed Sheen, and it works wonderfully. It really does give a natural look, and really strengthened my nails. I've been using this for about two weeks now, and haven't experienced any gumminess or peeling like some other reviewers have reported. I don't use it everyday, though. More like once every two to three days. Anyway, tonight I clipped my nails, and they were TOUGH. I've never had such a hard time cutting them before, and I guess this is to blame, but at least I haven't gotten any big chips and hangnails like I usually do after several weeks! Although I admit that I did get a hangnail today, but that was because I smashed my hand really hard into the wall. There's nothing to protect one against being a klutz!
Update: My nails do get gummy after a while, so use this wisely and sparingly. Also, it's important to degunk the brush. I'll have to take off a lippie. I'm just going to stick to clear polish, which is cheaper.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Two chairs set aside at school for POWs and MIAs
Thursday, May 22, 2014
NORTH BERWICK, MAINE — Just days before Memorial Day, a local high school paid homage to military veterans who are either prisoners of war or missing in action.
The idea of dedicating seats to POW and MIA, according to Decosta, started in Tennessee about five years ago. It first came to New England in 2012 with a dedication ceremony at Gillette Stadium. The company that made the Gillette Stadium chair was Hussey Seating in North Berwick Maine. Hussey Seating made the two chairs dedicated on Wednesday. Superintendent of Schools Steve Connolly joked that "One of the greatest parts for me was there was no shipping on the chair." The ceremony began with Connolly acknowledging the approximately 30 people seated on the stage, one of whom, 90-year-old Leon Tanguay, was a prisoner of war in 1944. After serving up a brief history lesson on Memorial Day, Connolly noted the towns of Berwick, North Berwick and Lebanon all contributed money for the seat dedication. Tim Hussey, CEO of Hussey Seating, spoke after Connolly. The Noble High School auditorium in which the ceremony was held, is named after Tim Hussey's father Philip W. Hussey.
"The credit really goes to the Rolling Thunder," said Tim Hussey in his remarks. "A little over two years ago we put that first chair in Gillette Stadium." |

The Olympic Delivery Authority has hit back at "inaccurate and scathing" reports by the BBC that the Zaha Hadid designed Aquatics Centre will be too complex to build in time for the 2012 Olympics by announcing the early commencement of its construction.
The building touted as the "Gateway to the Games" is situated at the South East corner of the Olympic Park in London and construction will now commence by the end of this month, ahead of the Beijing Olympics. The BBC report stated there were questions over the choice of wood for the roof, which was, in fact, chosen for the ceiling of the pool space. In a press release issued the day after the BBC report, the ODA stated:
"The BBC London report on Tuesday 1 July included claims that the roof of the venue, which will provide swimming and diving facilities currently unavailable in London, may be too complicated to be built and that a potential supplier is concerned about the materials being considered for the roof.
"In fact the sweeping roof is an innovative steel structure with a striking and robust aluminium covering. The Zaha Hadid Architects led design team have worked closely with world class engineers Arup and the main contractor Balfour Beatty to finalise the construction plan for the roof, including maintenance access in legacy.
"The team is currently considering different types of timber cladding for the internal ceiling of the venue and the sides of the roof supports. The timber selected will be tested over the next six to twelve months to ensure it works both for the Games and in legacy before installation in 2010."
During the games the Aquatics Centre will offer a capacity of 17,500 seats for the main competition pool and diving, and 5,000 seats for the water polo venue. After the games, 2,500 temporary seats will be removed and a 'leisure water' facility added turning the Centre into a permanent fixture in the Stratford community.
Hadid's Aquatics centre was submitted to the design competition in 2005 and images were released the following year. In 2007 work began to clear the site of existing buildings and clean up the land in preparation for construction. Planning was sought in January of this year and in April Balfour Beatty were awarded the contract to build the Centre. With construction commencing by the end of the month it is expected the Centre will be complete in 2010.

Update: The videos in question have been removed from YouTube.
Original story: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's street date has been broken and the game has also been leaked to torrent sites ahead of its official release next week.
As a result, a growing number of those with early access to the shooter have been posting gameplay videos online, with Zombies footage proving particularly popular.
It should be noted that most of the user-made movies in question are very low quality, but there are exceptions, including the videos below, which show off the prologue you'll see when you boot up the game, as well as the first mission.
Both contain spoilers so you shouln't watch them if you want to stay clean ahead of the Black Ops 2 release date of November 13.

"Statistics reveal that the trainees earn an annual salary increase ranging from $9,946 to $1,311," said Morgan.
"A small group who completed electronics last year had a salary increase of a high of $24,142, and a small group in food production showed an increase of $404. The overall average salary increase is $2,572 as a direct result of our training sessions. Increased pay is only half the bonus that training sessions provide individuals," he added.
Morgan also said individuals who complete work force training possess skills that allow them to meet job standards and perform well during their careers.
"An overall job retention rate of 92.41 percent means that 9 out of 10 individuals have job security. If companies require specialized, advanced training that is not offered locally, we provide funding for their employees to go off-site," continued Morgan.
"The center just completed Agriculture Production, Pharmacy Technician Certification Prep, and Manufacturing Technology training sessions. We also work with economic development officials at the local, county and state levels to assist in the recruitment of new businesses and the expansion of existing ones," he added.
Morgan said agricultural production is a changing field and new technology requires employees to be skilled in guidance systems and maintenance on highly technical equipment.
Training topics include farm safety, operating tractors, maneuvering wide-span rigs in tight surroundings, GPS guidance systems, handling chemicals and basic tractor maintenance.
The training includes industrial maintenance, OSHA safety training, quality, management, blueprint reading and precision measurement, fiber optics technology and advanced medical training for healthcare professionals.
Morgan said the center also follows up with trainees three months after training.
For over 10 years, the Capps Technology Center has provided customized training sessions to businesses and industries in the Mississippi Delta.
The Charles W. Capps, Jr. Technology Center at Mississippi Delta Community College was founded in 2002 as a way to provide customized training solutions to businesses and industries in the Mississippi Delta.
Located in Indianola, Miss., the geographical center of MDCC's seven-county district, the Capps Technology Center offers training to manufacturers, banks, agribusiness, healthcare providers and many small businesses.
It is also the Workforce Education Division of MDCC.
The center is relatively easy to commute to from surrounding cities, as Cleveland, Greenwood, Greenville and Belzoni, are only about 30 minutes away.
Training sessions are conducted at the Capps Center and at the main MDCC campus in Moorhead, but some companies conduct training at their facility.
"Those on a budget can still take full advantage of the training the center. We fund training on a cost-share basis for companies and individuals and contribute all the resources we can access," said Morgan.
The main source of funding for the center is the Mississippi Community College Board.
"We also apply for grants and have been awarded funding by the Delta Workforce Investment Area, Mississippi Development Authority and Department of Labor," he added.
"Whether you are an employer needing to train existing employees, or a job-seeker needing technical skills, we want to work with you," he continued.
Training sessions are set to begin in August.

A coral reef is a living oasis where spectacular sea life thrives. But this complex community is threatened by changing ocean chemistry, warmer seas, siltation, coastal development, damage from vessels and collection by the curio and aquarium trade.
Living corals are part of our exhibits, including Splash Zone, and we strive to minimize impacts on wild coral populations by growing them ourselves or obtaining them from illegal shipments confiscated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
We've learned a lot about how to keep captive corals healthy through precise use of light (for photosynthesis) and food (plankton). Our aquarists also try to mimic relationships that exist in the wild, keeping everything in balance.
So far we've propagated more than 30 coral species and regularly ship colonies to other public aquariums throughout the United States and abroad.
