WINFIELD — On Dec. 13 Thomas and Janet Ference finally got all the kinks removed from their request to subdivide their 8.19 acre land at 6000 E. 109th Ave. into two lots to allow a second house to be built there.
Now that they have Doug Homeier of S&H Engineering and Surveyors of Merrillville putting together all the pieces to meet town ordinances the process is moving forward far faster than it had at their first attempt.
The Plan Commission approved the primary plat and is awaiting presentation in January of the final plat.
The BZA had approved the creation of two lots without the required front footage on 109th Avenue, but that does have an expiration date coming up after the first of the year. Homeier assured the town's zoning administrator, Lance Ryskamp, that as soon as the primary plat is approved he is ready to bring in the final plat for approval and filing to meet that timeline.
Ryskamp told the commission members that Homeier had taken care of all of the previous issues on the septic system, water line and utility easement. Also changes were made to meet the concerns of the Fire Department, with a turn-around added at the end of the driveway on lot number two sufficient for the largest engines, and a dry hydrant added to lot number two to meet firefighting needs. There is a large pond on the property that will service the dry hydrant.
Water will be brought into the property from a main line that runs along 109th Avenue.
While no one was at the meeting to speak during the public hearing, there were two letters in file, one dated Oct. 23 and another Nov. 20, sent by nearby residents who expressed their concerns. According to Ryskamp the issues that they raised have been addressed and approved by the town's engineer Michael Duffy from DLZ Engineering.
The intent of the Ference family is to build a home for their daughter's family. The intent of the Plan Commission has always been to make sure that the subdivision was made so that lot would be able to stand on its own in case that house was ever sold.

Removal of South Bay Power Plant rubble is ahead of schedule
Chula Vista already planning new fire station
CHULA VISTA, Calif. -
Cleanup of the South Bay Power Plant in Chula Vista is ahead of schedule, according to a spokeswoman for the Unified Port of San Diego.
"It was known as the worst, gross polluter in San Diego County," said longtime Chula Vista resident Vivian Hopkins. "I really hated it."
The plant was finally imploded on Feb. 2 after a 53-year existence. It was diminished to a 25,000-ton pile of steel and rubble. Crews are expected to have the rubble cleared by April.
The demolition is making way for Chula Vista's ambitious 550-acre Bayfront Master Plan, which will include a resort hotel and convention center, condos, restaurants, retail shops, a park and open space.
"They [demolition crews] are taking this very seriously and they had six excavators on site the morning after, the Monday morning after the implosion," said port spokeswoman Tanya Castaneda.
The city of Chula Vista is not wasting any time either. The city has already made plans to build its tenth fire station, which would be its first on the bayfront.
"The money that comes to purchase the equipment and things like that will come from the development and developers that go into the bayfront," said Jim Garcia, the assistant chief for the Chula Vista Fire Department.
Developers need the fire station. Without it, they cannot construct their own development, such as a 35-acre mixed-used community planned by the Pacifica Companies. It could be one of the first new projects to break ground on the bayfront once the fire station is operational.
"We'll have to have a fire station in place there for the development to continue," said Garcia.
Officials with the port and the city of Chula Vista say once the plant is cleared by the end of the year and a new fire station is in place by 2015, the city can begin seeing a new horizon on its bayfront shortly thereafter.

Can any identify if this is RRD? About 25% of the bush has this in it. We are located in NC if that matters. None of my other roses are showing signs but they are spaced pretty far part and this is my only knockout. Thanks for the help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Geesh--each pic got worse! By the third pic, I was ready to pronounce this rose a victim of RRD. Destroy it immediately before it can cause harm to any others (RRD mites getting borne on wind currents around your yard). So sad! Kate |
The first two I wasn't sure. But the third definitely looks like RRD. And if it's over 25% of the bush, you have no choice but to dig it up and dispose of it. |
The look of the rose buds is the give away for RRD on these bushes. Healthy Knockouts have simple hardly ornamented sepals. The sepals on these blooms are horrifically overgrown and aberrant. |

Eat Right to Beat Eye DiseaseA diet high in whole grains may help keep your vision sharp
Macular degeneration--the most common cause of blindness in people over 65--might be avoided by replacing refined carbs with whole grains
As the Western world's population continues to live longer, age-related problems like macular degeneration are becoming more common. Fortunately, diet may play an important role in prevention: A new study shows that macular degeneration--the most common cause of blindness in people over age 65--might be avoided by replacing refined carbohydrates with whole grains.
The glycemic index connectionMacular degeneration attacks the part of the eye responsible for central vision. In its early stages, the disease may make straight lines appear wavy or make objects look fuzzy. As it progresses, reading, driving, and other activities that require sharp vision become more difficult.In the new study, over 4,000 people between ages 55 and 80 had their diets categorized by glycemic index--a measure of food's blood sugar--raising effects. A high-glycemic-index diet raises blood sugar levels after a meal more than a low-glycemic-index diet does. Compared with people with diets that measured lowest on the glycemic index, people eating the highest glycemic index foods were almost 1 1/2 times as likely to have features of macular degeneration. The higher the dietary glycemic index, the more severe the disease. Further, people with a higher than average glycemic index diet had a 49% increased risk of advanced macular degeneration. "We estimate that 20% of cases of advanced macular degeneration would be eliminated if people consumed diets that have dietary glycemic index values below the median," the study's authors concluded. Tips to reduce your risk
Choosing unprocessed, whole foods appears to be a wise choice for eye health. The researchers noted, "Our results also suggest that the quality, not the quantity, of dietary carbohydrates influences the risk of macular degeneration." (Am J Clin Nutr 2007;86:180-8) Kimberly Beauchamp, ND, earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Rhode Island and her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University in Kenmore, WA. She cofounded South County Naturopaths in Wakefield, RI. Dr. Beauchamp practices as a birth doula and lectures on topics including whole-foods nutrition, detoxification, and women's health.

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 Twiggy!
Facts about Twiggy
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Twiggy's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
We're not sure if you'll find a more friendly, loving pup than Twiggy. Especially considering the neglect that Twiggy suffered at the hands of someone. Twiggy was found as a stray and her condition was very poor. She was emaciated. But Twiggy is keeping her eye on the future. She loves everyone and she just wants to soak in all the love she can. Twiggy is going to make an amazing new family member and she will make sure you are loved every minute of every day.
Other Pets at Associated Humane Societies
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Twiggy, a Tinton Falls Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Tinton Falls, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Tinton Falls.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tinton Falls 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 Tinton Falls 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 Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tinton Falls paves the way for another one to be saved.

Day 3
The next morning I resumed my drive on Mulholland, that serpentine byway flanked by hide-and-seek views of the spreading valley to the north and tucked-away city to the south. I headed west to Franklin Canyon, one of the most unusual secret parks in a major city: 605 acres of bucolic National Park Service land whose centerpiece is two bodies of water that ducks, turtles, and bullfrogs now call home. I parked here and, for several dreamlike hours, utterly unaware of my urban surroundings, hiked along trails lined with California oaks, sticky monkey flowers, poppies, and sage.
After heading south into Beverly Hills, I found my way to the Virginia Robinson Gardens, the six-acre former estate of the heirs to the J. W. Robinson department-store empire that has been open to the public (by appointment) since 1982. If, after somehow falling into a California version of a Rip Van Winkle sleep, I had awakened in this splendor and been challenged to locate it, I would have answered Tuscany. The 1911 Mediterranean-style house, the blooming terraced gardens, the palm grove, the bubbling fountains, the terra-cotta statues—Gilded Age glory intact and immaculately tended at the edge of Beverly Hills.
Lunch was a tasty grilled artichoke and pizza at Fabrocini's, in nearby Beverly Glen Canyon, which at one time was home to a Native American village and, later, part of Francisco Sepulveda's ranch; yes, where mountain lions once patrolled the hills, today there is a shopping center. After I ate, I had a somewhat disjointed window-shopping experience: leather-bound sets of Dickens on offer two doors down from D&G dresses for children, each of which commanded more than my daughter's entire annual wardrobe.
My final stop was at St. Pierre Road (No. 414), where I pulled over to peer through the fence at the empty swimming pool and abandoned home that Johnny Weissmuller built out of his Tarzan fortune. More moat, really, than pool, the 300-foot-long snake of scabbing blue plaster and broken tile seemed like a perfect commentary on the fragility of fame. A B-minus movie star with an A-plus pool, a decaying mansion in a leaf-darkened canyon, a lone driver swinging by to think a few thoughts on the power of time: it felt like the subject of an unwritten pop song, an ode to the mysteries of the canyons.

Intro: 29-year-old Christina Heim is a divorced, single-mother of seven-year-old, Elizabeth. Although Christina receives child support, she provides the majority of personal and monetary care. So, it's no surprise that Christina has a life-insurance policy to cover the unexpected.
Take SOT: Christina Heim ("I have some life insurance through my work, but probably not enough, though.")
Whether it's divorce or the loss of a spouse, it's always good to prepare yourself for unforeseen occurrences. When it comes to life insurance ... most women either don't have a policy or are under-insured. Here's what every woman should know.
Single/working mother: If you're a single parent like Christina, you shoulder most of, if not all, the responsibilities of raising your family and are arguably the most in need of life insurance. However, a report from the 2011 Genworth Financial Life Jacket study found that 66 percent of single mothers lack a policy. Life insurance is a necessity for anyone with dependent children.
Married/with children: Marriage shouldn't exclude a woman from life insurance. Today, 61 percent of women bring home a paycheck. Without a life insurance policy, your family would not be able to manage the same lifestyle similar to the one you currently enjoy with a double-income.
Stay-at-home moms: Life insurance isn't just for the moneymaker in the house. A stay-at-home mom's contribution to the household is significant and is worthy of a policy. Take SOT: Vicki Gunvalson, CEO of Coto Insurance ("There is need for it. Death can happen to a spouse, divorce can happen …many situations can happen that are unpredicted. And life insurance is needed because the reality is if that woman died and she's taking care of the children, the husband would have to pay for someone for that care.")
Single women: Even without children, a single woman still has financial responsibilities. You may not need such a significant policy as someone with dependents, but there's a chance that debts you leave behind will be paid before your beneficiaries. And you don't want to leave your family with funeral costs.
Proper coverage: How much life insurance you need depends on the number and ages of your children, your income level, debt level and the value of your assets. To calculate your policy needs, Bankrate.com has a life insurance calculator.

Residential construction expands in August, even as overall construction numbers drop
Construction spending dropped 0.6 in August from the previous month, although it is up 6.5 percent on a year-over-year basis. Overall, residential construction spending showed the most strength, improving 0.9 percent. The improvement of the residential construction spending was somewhat expected given the current state of the real estate market.
Prolonged investor interest in discounted distressed properties has steadily removed foreclosure and short sale properties from the market, and improved owner-occupied demand has helped spur a turnaround in home prices.
[Related: The best housing news we have seen yet]
As properties leave the market, residential real estate supply has steadily declined. Since hitting a peak of 18 months of supply, the real estate market currently hovers at the "healthy market" level of six months.

God is to be glorified, for making known himself to us. (1,2) And for making even the heavenly bodies useful to man, thereby placing him but little lower than the angels. (3-9)
Verses 1-2 The psalmist seeks to give unto God the glory due to his name. How bright this glory shines even in this lower world! He is ours, for he made us, protects us, and takes special care of us. The birth, life, preaching, miracles, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus are known through the world. No name is so universal, no power and influence so generally felt, as those of the Saviour of mankind. But how much brighter it shines in the upper world! We, on this earth, only hear God's excellent name, and praise that; the angels and blessed spirits above, see his glory, and praise that; yet he is exalted far above even their blessing and praise. Sometimes the grace of God appears wonderfully in young children. Sometimes the power of God brings to pass great things in his church, by very weak and unlikely instruments, that the excellency of the power might the more evidently appear to be of God, and not of man. This he does, because of his enemies, that he may put them to silence.
Verses 3-9 We are to consider the heavens, that man thus may be directed to set his affections on things above. What is man, so mean a creature, that he should be thus honoured! so sinful a creature, that he should be thus favoured! Man has sovereign dominion over the inferior creatures, under God, and is appointed their lord. This refers to Christ. In ( Hebrews 2:6-8 ) , the apostle, to prove the sovereign dominion of Christ, shows he is that Man, that Son of man, here spoken of, whom God has made to have dominion over the works of his hands. The greatest favour ever showed to the human race, and the greatest honour ever put upon human nature, were exemplified in the Lord Jesus. With good reason does the psalmist conclude as he began, Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, which has been honoured with the presence of the Redeemer, and is still enlightened by his gospel, and governed by his wisdom and power! What words can reach his praises, who has a right to our obedience as our Redeemer?
Psalms 8:1-9 . Upon [or according to the] Gittith, probably means that the musical performance was directed to be according to a tune of that name; which, derived from Gath, a "wine-press," denotes a tune (used in connection with gathering the vintage) of a joyous character. All the Psalms to which this term is prefixed [ Psalms 8:1 , 81:1 , 84:1 ] are of such a character. The Psalmist gives vent to his admiration of God's manifested perfections, by celebrating His condescending and beneficent providence to man as evinced by the position of the race, as originally created and assigned a dominion over the works of His hands.
1. thy name--perfections ( Psalms 5:11 , 7:17 ).
who hast set--literally, "which set Thou Thy glory," &c. or "which glory of Thine set Thou," &c. that is, make it more conspicuous as if earth were too small a theater for its display. A similar exposition suits the usual rendering.
2. So manifest are God's perfections, that by very weak instruments He conclusively sets forth His praise. Infants are not only wonderful illustrations of God's power and skill, in their physical constitution, instincts, and early developed intelligence, but also in their spontaneous admiration of God's works, by which they put to shame--
still--or, silence men who rail and cavil against God. A special illustration of the passage is afforded in Matthew 21:16 , when our Saviour stilled the cavillers by quoting these words; for the glories with which God invested His incarnate Son, even in His humiliation, constitute a most wonderful display of the perfections of His wisdom, love, and power. In view of the scope of Psalms 8:4-8 (see below), this quotation by our Saviour may be regarded as an exposition of the prophetical character of the words.
sucklings--among the Hebrews were probably of an age to speak (compare 1 Samuel 1:22-24 7:27 ).
ordained--founded, or prepared, and perfected, which occurs in Matthew 21:16 ; taken from the Septuagint, has the same meaning.
strength--In the quotation in the New Testament, praise occurs as the consequence or effect put for the cause (compare Psalms 118:14 ).
avenger--as in Psalms 44:16 ; one desirous of revenge, disposed to be quarrelsome, and so apt to cavil against God's government.
3, 4. The allusion to the magnificence of the visible heavens is introduced for the purpose of illustrating God's condescension, who, though the mighty Creator of these glorious worlds of light, makes man the object of regard and recipient of favor.
4. man--literally, "frail man," an allusion to his essential infirmity.
son of man--only varies the form of speech.
visitest--in favor ( Psalms 65:10 ). This favor is now more fully illustrated.
5-8. God has placed man next in dignity to angels, and but a little lower, and has crowned him with the empire of the world.
glory and honour--are the attributes of royal dignity ( Psalms 21:5 , 45:3 ). The position assigned man is that described ( Genesis 1:26-28 ) as belonging to Adam, in his original condition, the terms employed in detailing the subjects of man's dominion corresponding with those there used. In a modified sense, in his present fallen state, man is still invested with some remains of this original dominion. It is very evident, however, by the apostle's inspired expositions ( Hebrews 2:6-8 , 1 Corinthians 15:27 1 Corinthians 15:28 ) that the language here employed finds its fulfilment only in the final exaltation of Christ's human nature. There is no limit to the "all things" mentioned, God only excepted, who "puts all things under." Man, in the person and glorious destiny of Jesus of Nazareth, the second Adam, the head and representative of the race, will not only be restored to his original position, but exalted far beyond it. "The last enemy, death," through fear of which, man, in his present estate, is "all his lifetime in bondage" [ Hebrews 2:15 ], "shall be destroyed" [ 1 Corinthians 15:26 ]. Then all things will have been put under his feet, "principalities and powers being made subject to him" [ 1 Peter 3:22 ]. This view, so far from being alien from the scope of the passage, is more consistent than any other; for man as a race cannot well be conceived to have a higher honor put upon him than to be thus exalted in the person and destiny of Jesus of Nazareth. And at the same time, by no other of His glorious manifestations has God more illustriously declared those attributes which distinguish His name than in the scheme of redemption, of which this economy forms such an important and essential feature. In the generic import of the language, as describing man's present relation to the works of God's hands, it may be regarded as typical, thus allowing not only the usual application, but also this higher sense which the inspired writers of the New Testament have assigned it.
9. Appropriately, the writer closes this brief but pregnant and sublime song of praise with the terms of admiration with which it was opened.

These professionals understand that when the majority of us would be running away from danger, they are running toward it in an effort to help others. With continual training and experience these professionals are equipped to perform the heroic actions necessary to help us all in a time of crisis.
But even with all of that training there is a link that is critical to a successful implementation of any emergency services need. Communication! This is not a movie like "Ghostbusters." This is real life, and those who call Bradley County home know the value of our exceptional 911 call center and department. Without their expertly trained and seasoned staff of professionals, even the best trained medical emergency, law enforcement or fire professionals would not be able to successfully perform their duties each and every day.
Many of us forget or have never even thought about what it takes to supply a human voice to answer every 911 call for our community. According to Joe Wilson, 911 Center director, the facility averages 173,982 phone calls each year that require dispatch to other agencies or personnel. And for every one of these calls, two or three times as many calls are also answered.
Kris Willis, operations manager, states that teamwork is key. CPR, traffic, police information, animal control and medical calls of every conceivable combination occur on a daily basis. While all of these calls are being properly answered, there are also radio dispatch and monitoring of at least two other radio channels at a time by each staff professional. Constant training is mandatory, along with an initial training requirement of eight to 12 months before one is able to work a console "solo."
Next week is designated as National Telecommunications Week and I would like for us to take a moment to thank our many telecommunicators who work each day to keep us safe.
I was also given a few quotes this week that I would like to share that originated from an unusual combination of people and personalities.
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen," was attributed to Winston Churchill.
"Believe you can and you're halfway there," was attributed to Theodore Roosevelt.
And finally, "When you take risks, you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail; both are equally important," was attributed to Ellen DeGeneres.
Sometimes it is amazing what you can learn if you just take the time to sit back, reflect on what is good and notice how other people interact among themselves. With these quotes as a backdrop and the time to observe I, and many others, have noticed that there truly are "giants," "heroes" and "amazing people" who walk, live, work and worship among us here in Bradley County.
On Saturday at 8:30 a.m. on the Bradley County Courthouse Square, please make time to come by and join others to show your families' and our community's support for some of the volunteers who are embarking on an epic journey — known to most as the Run Now Relay.
When hearing of the cowardly actions of those who had the mindset to only disrupt, cause mayhem, suffering, fear and terror at last year's Boston Marathon, a few of our bravest citizens decided to go there to show support and to help the residents of Boston, and America, to heal from the terrorist actions of others.
While some of the local participants were planning this trip, they pondered how they would get to Boston. As was explained to me, someone suggested, "Well, why don't we run to Boston?" And the idea took root.
Each individual involved will run approximately one hour while the others are following in caravans and this will be repeated with each person continuing in relay fashion 24 hours each day until they reach Boston. MapQuest lists this journey as a 1,015.98-mile drive that by car would have taken 15 hours and 39 minutes.
I can't even comprehend the effort, logistics and determination needed to achieve such a task while running.
And then, after performing this feat some will also run in the Boston Marathon. Why would a group of our local community residents do such a thing? What once was just mentioned in passing has now become reality and has given these people the ability to raise awareness and also funds. They are donating all proceeds to help people who they have never met or might never have the opportunity to meet.
One of the goals is to help with prosthetics with an emphasis on youth, for whom most insurance companies only reimburse for one prosthetic limb. And if a child is in need of multiple prosthetic limbs over a lifetime as they grow, these funds will go to offset the massive expense incurred by their families over time.
The term "Tennessee Volunteer" may have started out west in Texas at the Alamo, but the true spirit of the term is alive and well in Bradley County. Please join with all of Bradley County in not only praying for these valiant volunteers' safety, but that they also reach their goals.
Let us be thankful for the opportunity to be part of a community that not only believes in the "Golden Rule," but also lives it on a daily basis.
Bradley County truly is Tennessee at its best.

Was The Financial Crisis Caused By A Fictional Hooker-Loving Master Of The Universe? At Least One Guy Thinks Maybe
By Bess LevinSeveral weeks back, Michael Douglas appeared in a public service announcement shot by the FBI, in which he tells people that while they may have been taken by his character in Wall Street, that it's important to remember that that was just a movie and in real life, insider trading is wrong and everyone must be vigilant to report any wrongdoing they observe on the job, especially after the shit we went through in '08. Next up among actors who think roles they portrayed on the big screen contributed to the financial crisis is Richard Gere. Glamorizing being a corporate raider who made enough money to buy a hooker is his personal cross to bear. Read more »
As the entrepreneurial among us know, successful, brand name business don't just happen overnight. They take blood, sweat, tears and in some cases, other bodily fluids, that the public never sees. Anna Gristina was nearly there. The mother of four (who went by the name "Anna Scotland" professionally) had been providing hookers for to "wealthy, powerful men" ("politicians, top-law enforcement, influential lawyers, bankers, entertainment execs and Fortune 500 businessmen") out of an Upper East Side whorehouse for a decade and a half, had developed a thriving client list willing to pay between $1000 (for a "Dream Girl") to $2000+ (for an "Ultimate Elite Model") per appointment, and made millions in the process. She was ready for the big time. Just the other day, in fact, Gristina/Scotland was sitting down at the office of her friend and business associate, a Morgan Stanley employee, to hear his plan for "expanding her operation through the Internet." And then this happened. Read more »
U.S. stocks experience significantly better returns during years when an American model graces the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue than during years when the magazine cover features a foreign model, history shows. The S&P 500 had an average return of 14.3 percent during the 17 years since 1978 that featured an American, with positive returns a whopping 88 percent of the time, according to the Bespoke Investment Group blog. That's about four percentage points above the average return during the years that featured a model from another country. The difference would be even greater, if not for the failure of the indicator in 2008, when the S&P 500 plunged 37 percent after Sports Illustrated featured American-born Marisa Miller and Lehman Brothers collapsed. Last year, Russia's Irina Shayk graced the cover and the U.S. benchmark subsequently returned a disappointing 2.1 percent. [CNBC]

You're Going To Have A Lot Of Time To Run Your Fund When You're Running It In A Van Down By The River
By Bess LevinWhen all is said and done, there are two types of people in this world: those who would feel comfortable conducting or taking part in a "business" meeting held in an unmarked van and those who would not. It's important you know which camp you belong in, because according to the Times, the travelling office is officially a thing.
Steve Kantor admits that he likes to travel in style. He is an affable investment banker, concerned about flaunting his wealth, but he drives around Manhattan in what looks like a simple black delivery van. Of course, most vans do not have chauffeurs, as Mr. Kantor's has. Or a built-in office, custom installed. "I have two big-screen televisions; I have a couch in the back that goes into a bed," Mr. Kantor said. "I have four chairs that go back and massage you. It has a desk, a table and an intercom so you can have meetings in there if you want to."
The most popular model is made by Mercedes: a stripped-down, basic version of the van, the Sprinter, starts at $41,315; Mr. Kantor's version, which Mercedes-Benz Manhattan arranged to have customized, is fitted with satellite television, a Wi-Fi network and flat-screen monitors, and sells for $189,000. Even that is not quite enough for some New Yorkers, who employ designers to install even pricier custom details that easily drive up the total cost to $500,000…And although the modified Mercedes van is popular in several large cities, Howard Becker, president of Becker Automotive Design in Oxnard, Calif., said New York, with its executives in hedge funds and finance, had become his best market…[some owners request] the installation of a vacuum cleaner so the chauffeur can remove every crumb and grain of sand…the vacuum option could be seen on a recent morning on Park Avenue, when Carmelo Umpierre, a 44-year-old chauffeur, idled the $425,000 van he drives for an executive based in Connecticut.
And these things don't just appeal to people who are attempting to up the sketch factor of their business dealings by leaps and bounds ("Martin Brass, a 43-year-old former Wall Street executive turned investor…said he simply wanted to "have meetings and presentations in those vehicles"). Apparently 18 years and no pre-nup also means family car/conference room. Read more »

it's incredible
how i stopped wishing
that somehow
we'd get caught under a mistletoe
You in yourself,
treasure your secrets
inside a trance,
as your greatest work of art.
You lay them down
as your reality
among the colorful leaves
then let them lie….
to your heart.
I simply wait
as your diamond
for you to turn the pages
of my body
while you sing.
I'm left dreaming of your smile
within a roaring tide
believing your time….
is everything.
used to think I couldn't go a day
without your smile
without telling you things
and hearing your voice back.
Then, that day arrived and it was so damn hard
but the next was harder.
I knew with a sinking feeling
it wasn't going to be okay for a very long time.
because losing someone isn't an occasion or an event.
It doesn't just happen once.
It happens over and over again.
I lose you every time I pick up your favorite coffee mug:
whenever that one song plays on the radio,
or when I discover your old t-shirt at the bottom of my laundry pile.
I lose you every time I think of kissing you,
holding you, or wanting you.
I go to bed at night and lose you,
when I wish I could tell you about my day.
And in the morning,
when I wake and reach for the empty space across the sheets,
I begin to lose you all over again.
I heard your fingers point at metaphors
that confused your mind.
I saw your comfort become woven
around the mask you wear,
when like you failed to find.
What if I told you of those hidden scars
those words could simply free?
Would you become a reflection
of the sun, or pretend
you don't hear me?
I don't want the power in love
I don't aim to be your master
Falling down all around
like so much well meant disaster
Oh, I never wanted a slave
I pursue a life less ruled
But if you walk without your chains
Perhaps we can make each other crazy
I'm just a human in need of suspense
no failures here, no dire need of gold
Just a falling down all around
a need for truth to be told.
Oh I'm no angel
nor aspiring demon
I'm just a human
in need of bein'.
If you walk, walk with me
I do not follow
but I will hold you
and drive you crazy
I pursue a life of me
where I want to go
and I don't want you to be
just someone to follow
I want a partner
friend, confidant...
I need a defender
and someone crazy
Someone crazy like
someone crazy about
someone I can be crazy
for and with and
These scars I wear each tell a tale
of moments I'll never forget
When loves spark, had once left it's mark
and the fates had called in their debt
Where I fell upon a bottle
cut my arm and nearly bled out
I hit my head, thought I was dead
learned something of what life's about
My legs torn by years of abuse
racing horses like all my kin
I'd go down hard, leaving them scarred
the limestone would tear off your skin
But these were offerings of note
in a life spent chasing ideals
Testing extremes, of my own dreams
run down more than once by the wheels
Son you can't live your life afraid
of each danger that comes your way
So play the odds, tempt the damn gods
rise up and face each new born day
When you are but old and feeble
with your grandchild upon your knee
Tell your stories, of life's glories
show him the scars so he can see
A life spent cowering from pain
will leave you so aching inside
The gift you'd miss, from life's sweet kiss
knowing you never even tried
© 2012 Tate Morgan

Sometimes my memories sneak out of my eyes
and roll down my cheeks
These prisoners always find a way to escape,
When tension reaches its peak
Off into the night
Where everything I invision becomes bleak
Sometimes my mind doesn't follow my footsteps
and leaves my heart hollow
These prisoners derive themselves out of feelings that were ever so potent
But now..
I realize what chances are overlooked when words remain unspoken .

1 After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. | 1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. |
2 Job said: | 2 He said: |
3 "Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, "A man-child is conceived.' | 3 "May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, 'A boy is born!' |
4 Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, or light shine on it. | 4 That day--may it turn to darkness; may God above not care about it; may no light shine upon it. |
5 Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds settle upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. | 5 May darkness and deep shadow claim it once more; may a cloud settle over it; may blackness overwhelm its light. |
6 That night—let thick darkness seize it! let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. | 6 That night--may thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year nor be entered in any of the months. |
7 Yes, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry be heard in it. | 7 May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it. |
8 Let those curse it who curse the Sea, those who are skilled to rouse up Leviathan. | 8 May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan. |
9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none; may it not see the eyelids of the morning— | 9 May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn, |

22 who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they find the grave? | 22 who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave? |
23 Why is light given to one who cannot see the way, whom God has fenced in? | 23 Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? |
24 For my sighing comes like my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water. | 24 For sighing comes to me instead of food; my groans pour out like water. |
25 Truly the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me. | 25 What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. |
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest; but trouble comes." | 26 I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil." |

Aug 6, 2012 8:45 AM by Associated Press
HORICON, N.Y. (AP) - A camera lost in a creek in New York's Adirondacks for three years is being returned thanks to clever detective work by a Vermont man who studied pictures on its memory card.
John Noerr of Poultney, Vt., found the camera in July. The Post-Star of Glens Falls reports that the camera's memory card had 581 photos Noerr was able to study.
Many of the photos looked like they were taken in New York City. One showed a woman sitting in front of a house numbered 327. Another showed a street sign reading 3rd Street.
Noerr used Google to find the Brooklyn neighborhood, tax records to find the building's owner and social media to contact the family.
The camera's owner, Michael Comeau, says he can't wait to get it back.

Daily Press' tale of bankruptcy, infidelity and a get-away yacht reads like a novel
Wow! This reads like a novel, I thought when I read Peter Frost's series about businessman Allen Whitehead III in the Daily Press of Newport News. The three-part story, which won a Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) award, has the kind of stuff you don't often see on business pages. For example, in part one (PDF):
"That's why those who knew and trusted him were so surprised — shocked, even — when Whitehead abandoned his family, declared bankruptcy, boarded his 45-foot yacht with the woman he left his wife for and sailed out of Virginia."
The storytelling about the former church deacon and financial adviser continues through the second and third installments. It's so cohesive, I asked Peter if these were chapters from a book. No, he said, but they were pieces of a 120-inch narrative.
"We decided to break it up into three pieces and run it that way," says Peter, who covers the Port of Virginia, Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding and other large Hampton Roads companies. "There had to be some repetition, but I tried not bog down the second and third pieces with limitless" repeated information.
Today's Tip: Write narrative series as one long piece, Peter says.
Writing as one piece helps identify the natural breaks in the story, he says. Then you can split it into multiple pieces that can stand on their own.
Peter wrote the story as a narrative because "we came to the story late — after the collapse of his career and his bankruptcy," he says. "It's easier when you come in with fresh eyes. "

What's That Wednesday: Tostadas a la Brasa
Chicken Tostadas
A La Brasa
15 N. Broom St.
251-1700, alabrasarestaurant.com
How Much
$3 each
What's In It
- chicken
- beans
- cheese
- lettuce
- cilantro
- avocado
- sour cream
- salsa verde
Why This Dish
Neighborhood restaurant A la Brasa, which translates to "from the grill," recently revamped their Peruvian menu to incorporate a more Mexican feel. However, their chicken tostadas are one favorite that remains the same. Although, like many menu items, they are served a la carte, these tostadas are quite filling—and better yet, they're loaded with lots of green veggies you can feel good about eating. Each bite contains a perfect combination of all the ingredients, and a side of salsa verde will give it some kick. Pair with a bottle of Jarritos or Inca Kola, Mexican and Peruvian soft drinks, respectively, to round out the meal. With its location below the Metropolitan Apartments, this casual spot can often get overlooked, but for the quality of food and incredibly low prices, you cannot afford to pass A la Brasa by.

You know how people pour beer into dishes, dig a hole and put the dish so that the rim is like at soil level? Do I have to do that? Can I just set the dish right on top of the soil while it's full of beer? Would it still work? The dish's edge is like 1-2 inches high. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The slugs need to be able to easily access the beer. If you think that your slugs will climb up the sides of your dish, then you don't need to bury it. The easier it is for the slugs, the more successful your baiting will be. |

Bishop Rozanski introduced to Diocese of SpringfieldJune 19, 2014 |
By Chris Maza SPRINGFIELD – Incoming Bishop Mitchell Thomas Rozanski said that faith and communication would be the keys to a smooth transition for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield. Rozanski, currently an auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Maryland, was announced by Pope Francis on June 19 and later introduced in Springfield as the successor for Bishop Timothy McDonnell and the diocese's ninth bishop. Rozanski will be officially installed on Aug. 12 at St. Michael's Cathedral. "I look forward to working with you over these coming months and years and ask that God continue to unite us and bring us together as a church, and as Pope Francis speaks of so often in his talks, to be a people who truly live the joy of the Gospel and the love of God and to help others to do the same," Rozanski said to the group of clergy and lay people in attendance. The announcement at the Bishop John Marshall Center came after a nearly 18 month process. McDonnell submitted his letter of resignation on Dec. 23, 2012, his 75th birthday, in accordance with church law. According to the diocese, he plans to remain in Western Massachusetts in his retirement. McDonnell was appointed as Bishop of Springfield on March 4, 2004, and installed April 1, 2004, after serving in the the Archdiocese of New York, New York. Rozanski, who will be the diocese's first bishop of Polish descent, was born in Baltimore on Aug. 6, 1958. He was ordained a priest in the Archdiocese of Baltimore in 1984 and served as a priest, pastor and administrator in several parishes prior to his appointment as an auxiliary bishop by Saint Pope John Paul II in 2004, making him the youngest bishop in the country at that time. McDonnell expressed great faith in Rozanski's ability to lead the local Catholic community and pointed to a longstanding connection between the diocese and the Achdiocese of Maryland. "Unfortunately, [Rozanski] is from south of the Mason Dixon Line," McDonnell joked. "However, you should know at one time all of Massachusetts was part of the Diocese of Baltimore because when the country was first founded, Baltimore was the only Catholic diocese from the Canadian border to the Florida panhandle. It took them a long time to visit, but today they've more than made up for it." Rozanski said when he was asked by Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, apostolic nuncio to the United States, if he would accept the assignment to Springfield, he did not hesitiate, putting his faith in God. "Any assignment the church has given me as parish priest [or] as an auxiliary bishop, I have accepted because in faith we believe it is the will of God and God will always be with us in whatever task we are given," he said. "So it is with gratitude to God for this wonderful vocation of priesthood that I come as the bishop of Springfield." Rozanski credited McDonnell with showing him tremendous hospitality upon his arrival in Springfield. He said he was able to take a guided tour of the City of Homes and the surrounding area with McDonnell, during which he found the outgoing bishop's love of and dedication to the area "infectious." "I hope to take that along with me as I become the bishop of Springfield," Rozanski said. Rozinski told Reminder Publications he was aware of some of the economic challenges faced by people in the diocese's geographical footprint as the region slowly recovers from recession. He said in addition to providing spiritual support to those who are struggling, he planned on being proactive in how the church addresses those needs. "I see the church as a catalyst, not sitting back, but trying to take an active role and working with our political leaders to see how we can improve the situation," he said. "I grew up in East Baltimore and we have also been hard hit by the economy and I know that jobs have really almost melted away in many places and I think we need to work together as the leaders of the community in order to bring jobs back to the community." Rozinski stressed collaboration between public officials and church leadership is essential to combat social issues such as crime and to bring forward positive initiatives. "I think we're called to be leaders in preaching the Gospel and that means forging partnerships for the good of the people with the leaders of the community and I think the church will be very, very active in doing that," he said. When asked during a question and answer period about education, Rozinski spoke highly of the need for quality Catholic education, but acknowledged a need to find creative solutions in order to keep the cost of that learning within people's means. He also told Reminder Publications that he had cursory knowledge of the situation surrounding Cathedral High School's attempts to recover from the June 1, 2011, tornado that heavily damaged the school, and would spend the coming months becoming more educated on the subject. On March 3, the diocese announced the school would be rebuilt, along with St. Michael's Academy's middle school and preschool facilities, on its current Surrey Road site. Since the tornado, students have attended classes in a temporary home in the old Memorial School in Wilbraham. |

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: Chihuahua
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Peanut's Info...
I am purebred and good with dogs.
This young lady was not a good breeder at the puppy mill. So she was discarded like trash. A nice Lady saved her and several others and turned them over to rescue. Margareta is very shy and needs some one to show her that people are nice. She has alot of love to give and will if given a chance to be in a loving home.
Other Pets at Chihuahuas Hope Animal Rescue Transport and Sanctuary
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Peanut, a Chandlersville Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Chandlersville, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Chandlersville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chandlersville 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 Chandlersville 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 Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chandlersville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Europe Vanessa Oquendo , April 21, 2014 "Melissa Field was extremely helpful! She was courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly! She kept me updated on the status of everything and provided timely correspondence. She took ownership for any problems I had and remedied them. I had the most amazing time of my life in Iceland and Paris! I would not have experienced everything without the help of Kensington Tours."
Europe Marilynn Weaver , April 21, 2014 "All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day. Would recommend extending this package to 15 days for any future visits. The train to Edinburgh was super! Beautiful scenery and great steak pies!"
Europe Ann Saxon , November 06, 2013 "Our trip was fantastic!!! I cannot say enough good things. Lianne worked with our exact dates and time frame beautifully.Our drivers were prompt and friendly. The private guides were so knowledgeable. We left with an appreciation of the history, the culture, and the beauty of Andulasia. We were very pleased and will certainly recommend your company to friends and family."
Europe Coby Scherr , November 05, 2013 "Everyone involved in our Portugal trip made it terrific. Exactly as advertised. Every event on time and most pleasant. Guides were well-informed, courteous and friendly. Really made for a great journey every time. Each hotel was clean, upgraded and staffed with knowledgeable and friendly folks. Breakfasts were complete -- almost too much to eat. It will always be a wonderful memory thanks to Kensington Tours."

Europe John Edstrom , October 22, 2013 "Overall, our tour in Spain was very enjoyable, and well planned and executed. Our private tour of the Alhambra was excellent.

This is our second trip with Kensington (we went to Peru in 2009) and we will certainly book with them again."
Europe Randy Gramlich , October 07, 2013 "Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "
Europe Jay Steffan , September 24, 2013 "We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy. We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

Just weeks after her plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan, was killed in a freak car accident and a month after filing for divorce from Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag is stepping forward to talk about how unhappy she is with her plastic surgery and how the extreme procedures ruined her marriage. Among some of the indignities she's sharing—apparently Spencer had to pull her underwear and pants down in order for her to go to the bathroom.
"Spencer begged me not to get the first surgery and it almost broke up our relationship," she said. Keep reading »

"I'm mortified at the thought that people could be looking at me naked before I had the surgery."
– Heidi Montag is making it kind of hard for us to feel sorry for her when this is her primary concern about soon-to-be ex-husband Spencer Pratt selling and releasing her sex tape. Forehead-meet-palm. (Also, much like Taylor Momsen, we'll stop talking about these two once they stop being so hilariously stupid.) [Just Jared] Keep reading »
"Clearly I care for her, but the divorce is a superficial title 'cause I didn't cheat on her. And then she divorces me to clean her image. That doesn't fly with me. As much as I was like, 'Do it' [with the divorce], I never thought it would work. You can't be Speidi and then all of a sudden get a divorce. She's still serious about it because she's trying to divorce what is Spencer Pratt. She still loves me … There won't be [a sex tape] if she rips up these divorce papers and wants to do this show with me. It's a perfect example of how you can't escape Speidi. [If I did my own show,] her name's always going to come up. … That's my point here. Heidi, you can't get rid of Spencer. I'm too polarizing."
– Spencer Pratt on his maybe-divorce from Heidi Montag. Okay, we are officially frightened. Heidi, you might want to look into a restraining order. [MTV] Keep reading »

So I'm hoping to install a new toilet in my bathroom. I'm not looking to spend an outrageous sum of money but I would like to buy something that saves water. I am planning on buying a Caroma toilet, as the one in my other bathroom has worked out well.
This time however, I am unsure of whether to go with another Caravelle toilet (fairly standard size/shape) or whether I should be adventurous and go for the Invisi series Cube which is wall-hung. I like the cube one better cause it's sleeker and looks good, but I have never installed a wall-hung toilet. Would it be significantly more difficult? This is the toilet:

Common Exercise Corrections: Lower Back Pain in Deadlifting and Squatting
I hope everyone fared hurricane Sandy safely! We're so thankful that worst of it bypassed the DC area!! Thoughts and prayers go out to those in NY and NJ which seemed to have brunt of Sandy's fury poured out upon them!
Secondly, a GINORMOUS congratulations to the following SAPT ladies who made the all-district volleyball teams:
1st team- Caitlyn, Eliza and Hannah
2nd team – Kenzie
Honorable mention- Clare, Maggie and Carina
Congratulations ladies!! All your hard work in here paid off!
Anyway, onward and upward. As stated in my previous corrections post, it's usually not the exercise that's causing pain, it's the execution.
Today's topic: Lower back pain/irritation during a squat or deadlift.
From the outside eye, everything looks great: Lower back is tight and has a slight arch, the upper back is stiff, the hips are moving back like they should… but there's a niggling pain in the lower back. What gives?
This is a perfect example. Kerry looks pretty good for the most part, but she had a little bit of a pain in her lower back as she pulled. (thankfully she told me. Lesson to trainees: coaches, though we are Jedis, we can't always tell if you're having a pain. Speak up!) As was the case with Kerry, more often that not, the athlete isn't bracing the abs or is not using the glutes as much as (s)he needed.
- "Brace your abs like you're about to get punched" is a standard cue I tell athletes. We incorporate bracing drills, to learn proper bracing technique, but this cue will work in a pinch if the athlete hasn't mastered bracing yet.
- "Start squeezing your glutes/cracking the walnut BEFORE you pull off the ground." (alternately, in a squat, I tell the athlete to "spread the floor with their feet" on the way down and the way up) This cue usually makes the athlete more aware of their glutes and helps them think about using them more. By activating the glutes BEFORE the pull, it acts like a primer button for a lawn mower, it gets the engine ready to work! When they glutes are doing their job well then there's much less strain on the lower back musculature.
Again, there isn't much visually that changed between the first and the second video, but Kerry didn't have pain and the pull looked much more solid and confident.
So, if you have a nagging pain, brace and crack the walnut! 9 times out of 10 that will clear it all up!

My crawl space is moist, i.e., the air is damp and the foundation walls show signs of wetness. A mold inspector has not found mold and the subfloor is dry. I am planning to dry out the crawl space and I have a few questions regarding your product and the various approaches that I've read about:
2. Based on what I read, the best practice indicates that one should close the crawl space vents and to seal the crawl space. But given that moisture will still be underneath the vapor barrier, will this not lead to wet foundation walls and wet studs underneath the vapor barrier? 3. What is the best material to seal the crawl space. In one article, Tim Carter (author of 'Ask the Builder' column) referred to high performance polyethylene as the best product. Other sites are recommending higher end products such as the 'Crawl Space Vapor Barrier,' which is made of 7 layers. Can you tell me what the advantage of the Crawl Space Vapor Barrier over the high performance polyethylene is? I'm not planning to use the crawl space for storage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

For the definitive independent building science viewpoint, always check BuildingScience.com first. (See link for info on conditioned crawlspaces.) Closed conditioned crawlspaces in the US southeast save energy as well. Experiments in colder climates show improved performance with insulation on the ground too, typically EPS (expanded polystyrene). given that moisture will still be underneath the vapor barrier, will this not lead to wet foundation walls and wet studs underneath the vapor barrier? There should be nothing under the vapour barrier but the earth itself and the below grade portion of the foundation or piers. The most commonly-used material is 6 mil poly overlapped and weighted down; tighter systems up to 20 mils thick are available, but I haven't been able to Google up any independent testing on them. However, you will still need a mechanism to reduce the moisture level from moisture that inevitably gets past the barrier. A dehumidifier is the preferred method. |

Supermodel Petra Nemcova Shines on the Cover of New HAUTE LIVING Issue
In the new issue of Haute Living New York, they talked with supermodel Petra Nemcova, who, after narrowly escaping death during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, founded the Happy Hearts Fund, a non-profit foundation dedicated to rebuilding schools and communities following natural disasters.
"In situations like that you find inner strength that you never thought was there. It's a matter of survival so you don't have a choice," Nemcova says.
After the tragedy in which she lost her boyfriend, she turned her experience into something positive and now works to rebuild the lives of those who have lost everything. "I tried to understand what we could do to create the biggest impact on many levels. Happy Hearts Fund come in when it's not attractive to be there."
Petra lives in New York and spends her days immersed in her fast-paced downtown Battery Park neighborhood. "There's a strong sense of community there. There are great schools and lots of wonderful restaurants. Plus, people actually talk to each other!"
Read the full interview in the December/January issue of Haute Living New York.
