Wanting to replace my old 70's aluminum single pane windows with something more energy efficient and modern.
I think black frames look very slick and have seen them on similar modern-style architecture buildings in Chicago, as well as magazines I read like Dwell, Objekt. Problem is I can't seem to find any vendor that sells them. All I'm able to find is brown or some dark beige but that doesn't quite give the effect I want. I also like something that looks very minimal with regards to framing and border of the window to maximize the glass in the opening. What are my best options here? Anybody else with similar taste find something that works for them? |

Here's some pictures to give you idea of look I like... |

Marvin Infinity in their bronze is almost black. After that, you are looking at aluminum windows. |
- Posted by sforscarlet (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 22:56
Thanks for that. I did actually check out the Marvin Windows site and they even have an Ebony color that is black. However, that only applies for exterior view, interior and I've only got stained wood choices. Didn't see Infinity on their site only Ultimate. You seem to be right about the Aluminum also. I did come across Milgard site and they have aluminum windows in anodized bronze that look black on the site swatch. And that color is same on interior and exterior. If those are really that dark, it might be what I'm looking for. Don't hear too much about people getting aluminum windows. Something wrong with them I'm missing? |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 23:40
Nothing wrong with aluminum as a material choice, just that it does not meet the current Energy Star Criteria. You aren't getting a product installed by the end of the tax credit year anyway so you might as well wait until next year and see what is available. You can get the black in a Marvin Ultimate but it is going to be thicker than the aluminum that you are looking at. |
- Posted by sforscarlet (My Page) on Wed, Nov 10, 10 at 23:58
Not going to use the tax credit for the windows, as I'm exhausting it for a new Central AC. However, I don't understand why they wouldn't qualify. EnergyStar.gov site says that only qualification are a window that is rated <=0.30 for SHGC and U-factor. The Milgard Aluminum seem to have SunCoatMAX option that has rating of 0.27 and 0.29 for SHGC and U-factor respectively. Seems like that would fit requirements. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Thu, Nov 11, 10 at 7:40
That number you are quoting is likely on the glass. Even thermally broken aluminum does not have a U-factor that is 0.30 or less. Looks like 0.36 is as far low as it gets. http://cpd.nfrc.org/search/cpd/cpd_search_detail.aspx?cpdnum=MIL-A-128 |
Here is a link that might be useful: NFRC data

Good catch. Must be just the glass. Didn't know the rating took in the account the whole window itself, not just the glass. Surprising that the frame makes that much of a difference. Thanks for the info. |
Yes, a lot of newer commercial buildings have black windows. I recently installed a Marvin Integrity window in my bathroom which is fiberglass black on outside and white on inside. It is an awning window that is 3' wide by 2' high. I trimmed the outside of the window with white azek...that is called contrast...ie black next to white. The white almost glows in the dark at night. It is very modern looking. This was just a test window...but we are planning on replacing all of our windows with the black integrity windows trimmed with azek with fiber cement siding. Steve |
We installed Milgard dark bronze aluminum in our modernist house a couple of years ago. They really do look black. We like the look, and they work well. As others have said, aluminum frames are not as energy efficient as other choices, but some vendors do have thermally broken frames to help. Ours do not have thermally broken frames. (For some unknown reason, Milgard did not offer them in California at the time.) You can put your finger on the frame and glass on a hot/cold day and certainly tell the difference in temperature. It is important to note that since aluminum is stronger than other choices, the frames are correspondingly thinner. So this mitigates some of the thermal concerns since there is less frame area and more glass area. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Wed, Jan 5, 11 at 21:04
It does mitigate some of the frame conduction but not nearly enough. There are instances, yours for example, where aluminum is the proper choice. The Milgard Bronze is basically black as you have noted. |
Milgard Ultra Fiberglass offers a matte black on the interior and exterior. |

Western Windows (commercial windows) - longish lead time. I think that is what is in the pics you showed. Steel: Hope or Crittal We have a crittal window going into our new house and the lead time is quite long because it comes from England. i think hope is made here in the US but it tends to be more expensive. |
:Thought I'd chime in here. I'm also looking for alternatives in color. I hope that those who answered you don't represent the collective experience on this forum. Perhaps they just are aware. The vinyl windows I'm looking at come in all kinds of colors, including black. I am looking at either very dark brown or burgundy. They are called Solaris and made in Canada, but are pricy. |
- Posted by desertwest (My Page) on Wed, Jan 12, 11 at 23:19
Here's Milgard Ultra's colors: http://www.milgard.com/windows/fiberglass-windows/ultra/picture-window.asp I just got the brownstone which is very dark. As someone mentioned above it comes in Matte Black too. |

Hey guys. Over the last few weeks I've been lurking around in here and have used some of the info you guys have so graciously shared, to make my own take on the Mr F helmet. My snowboard helmet, according to my mates, looked "like you've pinched your mums helmet" as it was white... So I've modded it. I know it's not correct, but takes some if the boba and in the end, it's cheered me up. Apparently now I look like the king if the geeks.
This was my first attempt at painting anything. First time with an air brush and first time masking... I used masking tape from everything a £
What you think?

Also, if Airborne does decide to off himself, I'm calling dibs on his equipment. ;-)
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. - C. S. Lewis, English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)
It worked by the way. I just got finished testing it out. I'm going to add more epoxy to some spots though and let it cure more before using it next week.
Ok, take that back, it DIDN'T WORK. Well sort of. Some how the damn thing worked and I didn't get electrocuted, nor did the socket trip. BUT, when I went to take it out of the bucket, I heard something and noticed that the stick was much heavier than when I put it in. The damn thing was nearly FULL of water! How the hell the water didn't get to the wires I'll never know. I'm going to take the whole thing about and re-weld it with actual JB Weld. The guy at Home Depot told me the Goop stuff I bought was the same thing. Yeah, guess not.
Now you guys who have seen my past posts in this section know why I was so serious about not doing this myself.
I have 4 1500 watt heatsticks. I used to use them to boil 12 gallons or so, brewing 10 gallon batches. I used JB weld on the back of the element, then some RTV silicone caulk liberally on the front after they were mounted in the drain pipe. They have plenty of brews on them, and the caulk has gone from colorless to light brown, but is has never leaked. You just need to give it about a week to cure before using it unless you're brewing a sour beer, as it gives off a vinegar aroma. I was convinced they had to have 12 gauge wire. The extension cords I used were probably the biggest expense of the project.
Question: I'm going to re-weld this thing tomorrow with JB weld, like I should have originally. Should I peel the off the other stuff or can I go over it?
You should get that thing cleaned up as much as possible. In fact it might be wise to scrap any pieces that have that goop stuff on it and replace with new pieces so that you are ensuring that the JB Weld adheres/bonds to the piece itself instead of the goop which may or may not be bonded. Oh and I believes this is the first time this has been said: GFCI!
I use two 1500w heatsticks for my 5 gallon batches and it works great. I get a steady rolling boil in my kettle and don't need to use a stove. Just be sure to plug them into separate circuits on separate breakers. I saw another website that recommended you use acetone to thin out the JB weld and then pour it into the heatstick so it completely covers the element connections. I did this and it worked really well. It will just take longer to cure and you have to make sure to keep the heatstick in one place so the JB weld won't run out.

Checklist: Packing list for traveling with a toddler
Remember all the stuff you carried around when your child was an infant? Double or triple that load. Now you're approaching the amount of toys, snacks, clothes, and gear you'll need to keep your toddler comfortable and entertained.
Here's a checklist of things you'll need on the road, plus tips for easy, efficient packing.
Diapers Bring extras in case of emergencies or delays | |
Wipes | |
Pad to put under your toddler during diaper changes You can buy disposable changing pads at supermarkets or reusable ones at baby stores | |
Blanket(s) Bring a few for comfort, shade, and warmth | |
Plastic bags Carry a variety of sizes for storing soiled diapers, clothes, and shoes | |
Small bottles of disinfecting hand gel and toiletries | |
Tissues | |
Toys and books Your child's favorites, plus several new toys for surprises along the way. Bring sturdy toys that don't have easy-to-lose parts | |
Your child's lovey | |
Clothes, socks, and shoes One to two outfits per day is a good guideline. Denim and dark colors are good for hiding dirt and stains. Prepare for weather changes by dressing in layers. | |
Bathing suit Lightweight and easy to pack, and you never know when it will come in handy | |
Washable bibs | |
Sun hat and sunscreen | |
Sippy cups, canteens, or bottles Encourage your toddler to drink plenty of liquids to avoid dehydration, especially when flying | |
Lightweight plastic feeding set with utensils | |
Portable highchair to use at your destination | |
Snack food Don't forget high-energy snacks for yourself, too! | |
Nightlight (If your toddler uses one) | |
First-aid kit Pain reliever and supplies for treating minor injuries | |
Laundry soap For handwashing soiled clothes en route | |
Socket protectors For childproofing rooms at your destination | |
Portable crib or play yard Unless your toddler sleeps with you, or you've arranged for a crib at your destination | |
Car seat for travel by car or plane | |
Collapsible stroller Can usually be gate-checked or stored in the overhead bin of an airplane |
- Packing Tips
- Start preparing to pack a few days before you travel. Keep a running list of things to bring, or put items out on a table or dresser as you think of them.
- Use a diaper bag with a waterproof lining and a shoulder strap.
- Pack an extra shirt for yourself in your carry-on bag — just in case.
- Prevent leaks by packing medicines and toiletries in re-sealable plastic bags.
- Keep your child's outfits together in one suitcase so you can find them easily.
- Take your camera — and don't forget the battery charger.
- Bring a clip-on reading light so you can read at night without disturbing your child.

USS Somerset arrives in Philadelphia for commissioning
By: WJAC Web Staff and The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- A Navy ship named for the 9/11 attack site in Somerset County has arrived in Philadelphia for its commissioning ceremony.
The USS Somerset moved up the Delaware River on Friday, arriving at the U.S. Naval Yard at about 3 p.m.
The amphibious transport dock is the last of the three vessels honoring 9/11 victims and first responders. It joins the USS New York and the USS Arlington.
On Sept. 11, 2011, hijackers overtook United Flight 93. Passengers on the plane worked to get control of the aircraft, which crash landed in a field in Stonycreek Township.
The USS Somerset will be open for public tours beginning next week. The private commissioning ceremony, which officially puts the ship in service, is scheduled for March 1.
The $1.2 billion vessel will then head to its home port in San Diego. It's designed to launch helicopters, tilt-rotor aircraft and assault watercraft.

Animal rabies cases rise for second year
By From staff reports
April 04. 2013 9:20AM
South Dakota animal rabies cases were up in 2012, climbing for the second straight year, according to the yearly surveillance report recently released by the Department of Health. There were 60 animal rabies cases in 2012, up from 40 the year before.
While animals rabies is reported every year, the disease tends to be cyclical, with years of high case numbers followed by years with lower numbers, noted Dr. Lon Kightlinger, State Epidemiologist for the Department of Health. Rabies is a risk every year in South Dakota and that risk is statewide, said Kightlinger. Rabies vaccination is readily available, inexpensive and important to protect your pets and the people around them.
In 2012 there were rabies detections in 29 South Dakota counties. Those rabies positives included 21 domestic animals 16 cattle, 3 horses, 2 cats as well as 36 skunks and 3 bats. South Dakotas last human rabies case was reported in 1970.
The 16 rabid cattle in 2012 was the highest number of cases in 15 years for South Dakota and higher than any state in the country.
Beef and dairy cattle are usually exposed to rabies through bites from skunks and people can in turn be exposed by contact with the cattles saliva. Dr. Russ Daly, State Public Health Veterinarian, noted that signs of rabies in cattle can be very vague and may start as subtle behavior changes and progress to salivation, abnormal bellowing, persistent heat cycles, and incoordination. Contact a veterinarian right away if you suspect rabies in an animal and avoid contact with the saliva of that animal.
Rabies vaccine is available for cattle but routine vaccination of cattle herds isnt practical, said Dr. Daly. However, show animals and others that have a lot of human contact should be vaccinated for rabies starting in the spring. The vaccine for cattle is good for one year and has a 21 day withdrawal period.
In addition to vaccinating pets and other animals with frequent human contact, reduce the risk of rabies with these precautions:
Do not handle, adopt, or attempt to feed wild animals. Teach children to avoid animals they don't know and to tell you immediately if they are bitten or scratched by any animal.
Avoid any animal, wild or domestic, that behaves strangely and immediately report it to your local veterinarian, animal control, conservation, or law enforcement office.
Do not handle dead, sick or injured animals. If you must, use heavy gloves, sticks, or other tools to avoid direct contact. Farmers and ranchers should wear gloves and protective eyewear when treating sick animals to prevent exposure to saliva.
Close outdoor trash containers tightly to avoid attracting skunks and raccoons.
Clear wood or junk piles from homes to deter wild animals from moving in. Do not handle bats. If bats are found in a room with small children or sleeping people, call the Department of Health, your physician, or local animal control officer.
If you suspect rabies in a wild animal, pet or livestock or if your animal has been bitten by a possibly rabid animal contact your veterinarian immediately. If you have a potential exposure to rabies, wash the affected area with soap and water right away and call your doctor or the Department of Health at 1-800-592-1861. Your veterinarian will instruct you as to handling of animals involved. If the animal is dead, save the carcass for laboratory testing, being careful not to damage the head. If the animal is alive, contact your local animal control authorities so it can be captured for examination or observation. If you are bitten or scratched by a rabid animal, rabies vaccination can prevent human disease.

Deborah Lee didn't really want to leave the island life of North Carolina's Outer Banks for a subdivision outside Apache Junction. But when she saw the view of Superstition Mountains from the parcel she and her husband eventually bought, she figured she could make it work.
"I stood out here and I said, 'John, if you're going to drag me from the East Coast to the desert then it's going to be this spot or I'm not coming,' " she says.
Since her house has been built, Lee, a watercolorist who is a member of the Artists of the Superstitions, has not lost her affection for the landscape she sees behind her home.
"Something about that mountain just draws you in," she says. "Every day it just looks different. We'll be out there and I'll just say, 'Grab the camera, I've got to paint that one.' "
Lee, retired from the banking industry, started painting eight years ago when she took a watercolor class with her mother, who'd always been an artist.
Her mother stopped painting, but she didn't. Back East, Lee was in eight galleries; now, her primary outlet for her work is the group she's formed with about 30 other artists from Gold Canyon and Apache Junction. Lee will be one of 24 artists in this weekend's show at Gold Canyon Golf Resort, which includes painters, jewelers, potters, wood turners and copper workers.
The group started two years ago after a similar group stopped doing its annual studio tour, which had been a huge hit with area artists. Like her, the other members of the group aren't in it for the money. She hardly ever sells her originals, making prints that go for $40 to $55.
"We work hard at it and we just hope someone enjoys it," she says. "I want people to be able to afford our art, to remember me and to enjoy the painting."
Artists of the Superstitions Art Show
What: Show by 24 artists from Apache Junction and Gold Canyon
When: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday
Where: Gold Canyon Golf Resort, 6100 S. Kings Ranch Road, Gold Canyon
Cost: Free
Information: E-mail ||firstname.lastname@example.com||mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com||

User Review - Leniw - GoodreadsThis was a strange play. Too dark and too heavy at some points. Dead walk during the day haunting the living (the line between dead and alive is not a very clear one). Death, guilt, decay,lies, fear and wasted youth. Read full review

With the logo and stationery package designed, next up was the website. Spearheaded by Website Pros, the goal of the site redesign was to create an online location that would reflect the key brand messages that had already been defined--neat, organized and friendly--while making the site useful for customers and consistent with the new design work.
"The [main] consideration was to make sure the customer got a site that was modern-looking and fit the current state-of-the-art look and feel for websites," says David Brown, president and CEO of Website Pros. "[Chandler's] site was fairly stale and looked like it was built three or four years ago. Web authoring trends change rapidly, and we needed to update the site's look."
In addition to conspicuously featuring the new logo and colors, the site offered a perfect opportunity to give customers a peek at two elements unique to Book Lovers Bookstore--the clean, organized aisles and the two loveable cats. So the design team at Website Pros included photos of both on the home page, as well as an easy-to-read, bulleted list of the store's benefits. The site was designed with a program that will make it easy for Chandler to update news such as author appearances and featured titles.
Another important consideration was to create the site for maximum search engine optimization, which makes Book Lovers' site appear high on results lists when customers perform online searches for criteria that match her shop. Brown explains that the website copy was written to include certain keywords thoughout the site's text, as well as in the site's title. That way, he explains, search engine algorithms that crawl the site during a search will recognize its key messages and rank it according to the proper criteria.
"The single biggest mistake that small-business owners make in optimizing their sites is not being specific enough in their keywords," says Brown. He explains that, in the case of Book Lovers Bookstore, it would be a mistake to just focus on the word books, since that would leave Chandler competing with every bookseller on the internet. Instead, he used focused phrases like "antique books" and "used books," as well as the city where her shop is located.
With new marketing materials and a resuscitated website, Chandler's store is once again ready for business. "The main thing about this package is that it will allow her to keep consistency throughout every element of her marketing. She will have coordinated materials that will help her build an image," says Crowe.
And what does Chandler think of this flurry of activity? "I adore the logo and the look," she says. "They have captured the essence of my shop--whimsical and fun, but professional."
Chandler plans to integrate the new look throughout the store and within all the store's marketing materials, and she advises other business owners that investing in their own image makeovers is well worth it. "A good logo design projects the image of your business and tells customers who you are," she says. "I'm so proud. I can't wait to use this everywhere. That's a great feeling."
Building a Better Website
Your website is the place where customers and pros-pects can get information about your business-and perhaps even place orders-24/7. So it's important to get it right. Web designer Douglas K. van Duyne, author of the forthcoming book The Design of Sites: A Pattern for Creating Winning Websites, reveals the five most common mistakes growing businesses make with their websites.
1. Being all things to all people: "Too many businesses try to serve all their audiences on the home page-their customers, their investors, their employees," says van Duyne. "Ninety-five percent of the real estate on your [home] page should be used to serve customers. Use the footer of the page to have links for partners, investors [and] the media."
2. Using vague language: If people visiting your site can't figure out what you do in a few seconds, you've lost them. Van Duyne says all businesses should have a clear statement on the home page of what they do and what they promise their customers.
3. Making it too complex: Van Duyne advises against glitzy Flash animation or slow-to-load multimedia intro-ductions. "Most people are irritated by these things," he says. Instead, hire a professional artist to design a clean, easy-to-navigate site, and let customers choose whether or not to access your site's multimedia options.
4. Speaking "corporatese": Don't use jargon, acronyms or overblown terminology on your site. Keep language simple and easy to understand. "Sometimes, companies have internal language that [is] reflected in their sites," van Duyne says. "Be sure your internal language isn't ignoring what you need to say to customers."
5. Ignoring the value of testing: Van Duyne says it's not necessary to spend lots of money on testing. Just having a group of core customers review the site can be help-ful. "Have your customers complete simple tasks on the site, like filling out forms or checking different pages," he says. "Then, get their feedback. You'll probably get great suggestions for improving the site's performance."
Overall, simplicity and easy navigation should be your priorities, says van Duyne: "If it's too complicated, the business misses an opportunity to talk to a customer, which can translate into significant [losses]."

Funny Things About the Holidays at Square Books
Posted December 13th, 2013This time of year people like to buy gifts that are fun, and often
consider a book that is funny a go-to item for the person they may not
know so well, or, perhaps, the person they do -- like a brother or
sister. Humor books also make good stocking stuffers.
Finally, for those who take humor seriously, there's the new fifth edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations (35.00). "A difference of taste in jokes is a great strain on the affections" -- George Eliot. RH
This year we seem to have a better selection than usual. Two have been tickling our bestseller list for weeks now -- Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Little Golden Book
(9.95), which uses art from your old favorite Golden Books and is a
bona fide Golden Book (it has the little gold band on the spine); the
other is actually a sort of useful, modern-day etiquette book that has a
funny title, How Not to be a Dick (16.99), with Dick-and-Jane-ish drawings.
Married folks will find something to laugh about for sure in The Married Kama Sutra: The World's Least Erotic Sex Manual
(16.00, illustrated) by Simon Rich and Farley Katch. "When the man is
loading the dishwasher and the woman must come over because he is
loading it wrong, it is called 'the dishwasher position'." And, after
Christmas dinner, families can sit around laughing over Awkward Family Holiday Photos (15.00).
"Trattoria Amazonia" and "The Royal and Ancient
Galapogolf" are just two of the illustrated chapters by David Letterman
and Bruce McCall in This Land Was Made for You and Me (But Mostly Me)
(25.95), who poke fun at how the planet is the playground of the filthy
rich, an excellent gift for anyone who isn't, though no one will laugh
louder than those who are. We just received "the autobiography every
true American has been waiting for: a shockingly candid and raw
confessional from a national treasure" -- by Ron Burgundy, entitled Let Me Off at the Top! My Classy Life and Other Musings
(22.00). Ron's book jacket carries his own blurb: "I wrote a hell of a book!" with a large picture of his handsome, mustachioed face and
anchorman smirk.
Late November Events at Square Books
Posted November 19th, 2013Square Books prepares to close out a record year of author events as we approach Thanksgiving and the holidays. Mississippian Snowden Wright is here Wednesday, November 20, with Play Pretty Blues (Engine Books, 14.95); Jayne Anne Phillips returns to Square Books on Thacker Mountain Thursday, November 21 to read from her brilliant new novel, Quiet Dell (Scribner, 28.00); and on Friday, November 22, Wright Thompson (who has just appeared in Best American Sports Stories 2013 for an unprecedented eighth consecutive years) will interview Nicholas Dawidoff, sportswriter nonpareil, with his just-released Collision Low Crossers (Little Brown, 28.00), an inside look at the NFL that readers already are comparing to Paper Lion, and saying that it is the best book ever written on professional football.
We will finish November celebrating Small Business Saturday and featuring four guest authors -- who will be booksellers! Sarah Frances Hardy at Jr, and Beth Ann Fennelly, Deborah Johnson, and Ace Atkins will be helping us help you -- and they might sign a book or two of their own. While we always tell publishers we do not do events in December, we will break our rule for Ann Patchett, Joshilyn Jackson, Melissa Townsend, Ken Wooten, and -- how could we resist -- The Grinch. More on that in a later post. -- R.H.
The Book of Manning DVD
Posted November 15th, 2013After the ESPN airing of The Book of Manning -- the story of legendary Mississippians Archie and Olivia Manning and their sons, Cooper, Peyton, and Eli, who together became the first family of American football -- we received scores of inquiries for "the book" of The Book of Manning. There is no such book, though we think it would be a good idea if there were, but there is, or will be by October 29, a 77-minute DVD ($14.95), for which we are now taking orders.
Ole Miss fans may want to consider adding to your order the following recent publications:
The Education of a Lifetime (24.95), the memoir by former Chancellor Robert Khayat (signed copies) which John Grisham called "engaging and unflinching"
Are You Ready? 100 Years of Family, Friends, and Food
(35.00), from the Department of Nutrition and Hospitality Management,
University of Mississippi, featuring recipes, photos, and anecdotes
Ole Miss: A Photographic Essay
(42.00), the new book with photographs by Kevin Bain, Robert Jordan, and
Nathan Latil, with an introduction by Chancellor Dan Jones and Foreword
by Jeff McManus, Director of Landscape Services, featuring the most
beautiful college campus in America
For The Love of Oxford (14.00), the 2014 calendar with illustrations by Janie Davis
Where Do They Go on Game Day: The Story of the Squirrels Who Live in the Grove (14.95), the charming new children's book by Laurie G. Fisher
Sycamore Row by John Grisham (28.95), the new suspense novel out October 22 Signed Copies
The Tilted World (25.99), by Tom Franklin and Beth Ann Fennelly,
the husband-wife University of Mississippi faculty members, whose novel
set during the 1927 Mississippi flood is drawing rave reviews. Signed
Pickles, Pigs & Whiskey, (40.00), the great new
cookbook by James Beard Award-winning chef and restauranteur John
Currence, of City Grocery, Big Bad Breakfast, Boure, and Snack Bar fame. Rich with interesting, fun anecdotes and food lore, with about 130
recipes. Signed copies
shipping: $3 for The Book of Manning, $8 for two or more items. Please refer to your order as Rebel Special.

Household net worth (Member of Congress)
This requirement also extends to candidates for federal office,[2] senior congressional staff, nominees for executive branch positions, Cabinet members, the president and vice president and Supreme Court justices. The "Ethics in Government Act of 1978" set this requirement. Additionally, anyone who handles political campaign funds for a U.S. Senator must file.[3]
Enforcement of the disclosure requirements for Members of Congress is monitored by the Congressional Ethics Committee.
The PFDs filed every year have been described as "imperfect gauges of a filer's net worth".[4]
This is because:
- Filers are not required to list the value of their principal residence
- Filer are only required to disclose the value of their assets in broad ranges
- The PFDs can list assets that a filer manages for a dependent child but which are not owned by the filer
- Filers to not need to disclose the value of assets in certain trusts
What must be disclosed
- Outside, earned income that exceeds $200 must be reported. (Note that elected officials and senior staff may only earn outside income up to $26,100 a year. Some exceptions apply; for example, in the case of previously approved income and some book royalties and advances.)
- The source of the income and the amount of the income must be disclosed.
- The salary earned from an incumbent's elected office, which is a matter of public record, does not require disclosure on the PFD.
- If there is a spouse, the spouse must disclose the source of any income over $1,000. However, the amount of the spouse's income need not be reported.
- Elected officials and senior staff are prohibited from receiving honoraria for speeches, articles or appearances.
- In lieu of an honoraria, they may designate an amount to be donated to charity.
- Any such honoraria must be reported on the PFD by source and amount.
- The charity that receives the honoraria is not reported to the public; instead, it is reported on a confidential basis to the Congressional Ethics Committee.
Assets held for investment or the production of income that were worth more than $1,000 at the end of the calendar year, must be reported. Specifically, assets to be reported include:
- Securities
- Real estate (excluding the filer's primary residence, unless it generates income, and federal retirement accounts)
- Ownership stake in a business
- Bank accounts
- Loans owed to the filer.
- Assets that produced more than $200 of income during the year must be listed regardless of their value at the close of the year.
Assets that are exempt from disclosure include:
- The asset value of the filer's primary residence (unless this primary residence produces income)
- The asset value of any retirement accounts related to federal employment
Assets held within a self-directed account or fund are to be listed individually on the PFD. Note that filers are not required to provide detail on the individual holdings of mutual funds.
The fact that members of the United States Congress are not required to disclose the value of their personal residence on their PFD means that care must be taken in comparing the net worth of an average citizen to the disclosed net worth of a Member of Congress; specifically, any net worth calculations done for average members of the public should delete the value of their personal residence in order to achieve an apples-to-apples comparison.
- Filers must disclose the purchase, sale or exchange of any assets that amount to more than $1,000 in the calendar year in question.
- They must disclose the date of the transaction and the amount of the transaction.
- The 2012 STOCK Act additionally requires that any securities transactions must be reported 30-45 days after the transaction took place.
Filers must disclose:
- Any liability or loan where the filer, their spouse or their dependent children owed more than $10,000 at any time during the calendar year. Filers must disclose the creditor, the type of liability and the greatest amount owed during the reporting period.
- Loans on a principal residence that produces no income must be reported. This provision went into effect with the STOCK Act of 2012.
Filers are not required to disclose loans secured by personal property that does not produce income, such as automobile loans.
- Filers must disclose positions they hold with non-governmental organizations, except for their membership in religious, social, fraternal or political organizations.
- Positions of a purely honorary nature and those held by spouses and dependent children are excluded from disclosure.
- Filers must disclose agreements with former employers describing:
- Conditions for re-employment
- Severance payments
- Buyout agreements
- Profit-sharing plans
The House requires written approval from the ethics committee for book deals and prohibits royalty advances. The Senate does not have an analogous requirement. Royalties do not count against the outside income limits.
Filers must report:
- Travel and travel-related reimbursements from a single source, valued at more than $305 in aggregate for the year and connected to official business
- The source, dates, and purpose of the travel and itinerary.
Gifts that are acceptable include:
- Those from personal acquaintances
- Contributions to legal defense funds
- Commemorative items
The source, value and a description of gifts that exceed $305 from a single source, other than a relative, must be disclosed.
Gifts worth $122 or less are not counted toward the $305 threshold.
Exclusions in data
From OpenSecrets.org:
" | Note that the ethics law does not require filers to report property, including personal residences, that is not held for investment purposes and does not produce income. The STOCK Act requires that the terms of all mortgages, including those on non-income producing personal residences, be disclosed. Mortgages reported on properties that were not listed as assets were excluded from the wealth calculations, but are displayed on our profiles of the corresponding officials. Even though they weren't required to do so, some filers did list the value of their personal residences; when they did, we included the information in our totals and detailed listings. Filers are required to report detailed listings and values of holdings that underlie an account. They occasionally also report the combined value of the account, in which case the combined value is omitted from calculations. | " |
Range in value
Congressional financial disclosure forms use value ranges, rather than precise amounts, when reporting assets and liabilities. OpenSecrets.org gathers this information to build a range of potential values. For instance, if three assets are listed at a value range of $1,001-$15,000, the total range of assets would be listed as a minimum of $3,003 (3 X $1,001) and a maximum value would be $45,000 (3 X $15,000). OpenSecrets combines all assets and liability to form a total potential range of values, and then provides an average value as the best guess of each individual's net worth.[7]

StephanieMississauga, ON, CANHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairAmazing!!The Sedu flat iron is by far the best flat iron i have ever used. My hair thick and curly and normally with most flat irons i have to go over the strands of hair at least 2-5 times just to get it to be straight. With this hair straightener i went over it literally once and it was straight with no frizz! What else is amazing about this product is that my hair stays straight throughout the whole day and doesn't end up waving on some parts. it's a great time-saving hair product and it really does eliminate the use of so much heat on your hair because even if you wake up the next day and you need a quick fix you don't really have to worry about your hair because your hair is still straight even after a nights rest. being a user of many hair straightener this is by far my favorite and i would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new hair straightener. honestly.. I'm in love!posted Nov 30, 2010Link to this post
Lynae Q.USHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairI'm In Love With This Flat Iron!!!!My Sedu Revolution Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron 1 came in today and all I can say is that this flat iron is truly amazing! I just finished using it to straighten and curl my hair and I'm so happy with the results. This flat iron made my hair shiny and extremely straight after only one pass. I couldn't believe it! Every other flat iron I have ever used has never been able to work wonders as the Sedu has for my long thick curly hair. This is the best flat iron I have ever owned, hands down :) Being able to curl my hair with this flat iron was an added bonus because I only bought this with the intention to straighten my hair. Now its going to be very hard for me to choose if I want to leave my house with straight hair, curly hair, or a mix of both lol The only thing I dislike about this flat iron was how I used it for the first time for about half an hour and the white writing on both sides just melted off "/ The Sedu Revolution Nano Tourmaline Ionic Styling Iron logos are gone! After what I spent, I never expected for the writing to just smudge off this quickly or ever for that matter. Besides that, no one can go wrong with this flat iron especially if you get it in Pink, like I did =Dposted Nov 29, 2010Link to this post
ShayHairBlackThick or Coarse HairAmazing Shine, Hair Is Softer Than EverI was in the market for a hair straightener for a long time, I had a bio ionic one previously which was very expensive, but broke when I took it on an international trip :( I started to research hair straighteners and I was directed to the folica site. This is where I came across the Sedu revolution iron and I was impressed with all the positive reviews. I decided to research further and looked up reviews on you tube as well. Needless to say, people only said positive things about this product!!! I finally decided to buy it and was curious to see if the product lived up to its amazing reviews. I was blown away by the end result....my hair was straight, silky, smooth! I used a cheaper hair straightener after my expensive one broke and I saw such a difference in the way the sedu straightened my hair. My hair was straight and shiny for days!!! If I straightened my hair one day, it would still look perfect the next day!! It heats up amazingly fast and cools down relatively fast as well. Its small, light, and easy to use! I bought mine in pink and I have to say I LOVEEEEE THE SEDU....I will never buy another kind of straightener!posted Nov 29, 2010Link to this post
SHairBlackNormal HairVery Smooth Iron PlatesI bought this Sedu styling iron for a month, and is totally agreed with other reviews about the smoothness of the iron plates. It is very easy to glide through my hair and make it so smooth. The package and quality of the product feels high end. It is much better than I expected. I love the adjustable temperature controlm which I don't find in many other brands. I started from the lowest temperature, and change to higher temperature when I get more experience in controling the styling iron. I am happy with it so far. Hope this product will last long.posted Nov 27, 2010Link to this post
Di JeanVancouver, BCHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairMiracle In A Bundle!I have thick, semi-wavy hair that seems to turn frizzy no matter what the weather is.. so i turn to my hair straighteners to hopefully help control my mane. I had Corio and Paul M. each lasted me 1-2yrs - they caused a lot of frizzed and split ends. I also tried T3 sp, which was pretty good except it left my hair crimped at the ends. it wasn't natural looking.
so it was Sedu or GHD... did a LOT of research and ended up deciding on this.
Sedu also has adjustable heat unlike GHD's automatic one, which I prefer over the latter. Btw, Sedu straightened my hair within 10 minutes using 300 degrees! Total Awesomeness! I always use 450 with Paul M's and Corio's. I can already tell there wont be too much frayed ends with Sedu. Also, my hair felt soft & smooth and naturally straight! It didnt look like i just straightened it, which put a huge grin on my face.
Tried curling one strand of hair using Sedu - umm, and it wont straighten back! lol I had to run the iron 2-3 times to straighten it again.
I am really loving my new hair straightener. Already tossed my PaulM. My only gripe is that Sedu leaves a burnt hair smell. Take note, it didn't burn my hair, it just left a smell then it fades away after about 2-3 minutes after I'm done.posted Nov 27, 2010Link to this post -

ShaylaHairLight BrownCurly HairDamage Damage Damage!!!This straightener did a great job straightening and curling my hair but after 6 months i started noticing ALOT of danage. Even with a very expensive heat protecter my hair is very badly damaged, i would not recommend this product to anyone who wants to keep the health and shine in their hairposted Nov 26, 2010Link to this post
Maria B.HairMedium BrownNormal HairExceptional Results!!!I LOVE LOVE LOVE this flat iron. Although I already had a great flat iron, I decided to purchase the sedu nano because of the rounded edges and versatility as opposed to my bulky two inch flat iron. My hair is already stright and NEVER hold its curl despite hairspray and curling techniques. I curled it using my sedu flat iron and had beautiful bouncy curls for two days w/o the need for hairspray. I LOVE it. Simply amaziing!!!!posted Nov 26, 2010Link to this post
Joanne C.Southern CaliforniaHairDark BrownNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThe Best Flat Iron, Worth The Moneyfrom the first time i used this product my hair felt different. i had been using, very happily, a chi turbo ceramic flat iron, but this made my hair feel completely different. so smooth and dare i say, healthy? it is fast to heat and fast to use on my hair. love it. worth the price. when it has to do with the way you look everyday it is worth spending the money on a quality product. and folica has great prices and great shipping.posted Nov 25, 2010Link to this post
Tina TOmg This Is The BestHands down, this is the best flatiron I have ever owned! I am African American with natural hair, I just wash, condition, blowdry and flatiron. For the past 2 years I have been doing my own hair using Design Essentials hair products which are great. The flatirons that I have used in the past, were purchased from Sally's. The quality was so-so. The last flatiron that I purchased from them appeared to work in the beginning. It got super hot, so hot it would burn my fingers! I have two daughters that also have natural hair and my oldest daughter's hair would burn when I used the Sally's flatiron on her, her hair would also still be a little frizzy. However, the Sedu gives our hair the salon look. It is so straight and not frizzy at all. Don't let the price of this flatiron scare you off, it is well worth the price. Even at 450 your hair will not burn or snag, the plates will simply glide right over your hair. This iron will not burn your fingers : )posted Nov 24, 2010Link to this post

Guardian News & Media Reviews
I have been working at Guardian News & Media
ProsVery smart people, ambitious, probably one of the most optimistic and forward-looking media companies out there. Decent salary and opportunities for advancement.
ConsCan be tough to move within the organization; pay isn't phenomenal; communication can be a problem. Company is in a period of massive transition, from a UK newspaper to a global brand, and it's still working out the kinks.

My dear friends, we love you so very much.
In this year of 2012, more than ever before it is important to live your life from the inside out. As human beings you have been taught to handle the external affairs of your life first, and yet we would urge you each day, to sit and handle your internal state of affairs.

The unraveling of the old paradigm is occurring all around you. If one could view events from an outward and slightly detached perspective, one would see that there have in fact been many major events and breakthroughs that have served to further secure the inevitable victory for the Light that is at hand. Even many revelations that have come to the fore, that have made their way to the public's ears have opened the bottle for the genie to escape; for all to know the truth.» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›
My grace and love is expressed to you bountifully from every vibration that combines and creates my being. I am Lady Quan Yin, I step forward as a voice for the feminine vibration of the Creator's heart holding power, gentleness and tenderness. It is my mission to step forward to you today to share some important wisdom and to be of service at this most sacred time.
I say to you that love is coming, love is present already and eternally but it is the manifestation and humanity's realisation of love that is coming.» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›
This is a national holiday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. He understood what D-day meant…..it is the DIVINE DAY. The highest potential that a society can respond to. A destiny of great joy at the transformational process of love. A co creation with equality by all parties, raising the frequency of planet and our once latent christ like abilities to become fully manifested now. The true joining of the spiritual with the physicality into sovereignty. Every step of the way when we change our emotional bodies into more love, more compassion, it rearranges a new reality and system entirely. The ritual of celebrating is a vital connection, a sense of the profound, with acquired wisdoms.
All of us have the final say as to how we want to live these future selves. No longer in the amnesia zone many have committed to waking up, doing the work of lifting others into a whole, holy, community. Assist, generate honesty, expose cover ups, let fear go and freedom ring. Take off your foggy lenses and know that we are in the photon belt and its very waves our feeding us with life giving energy, inner strength and the ability to be called "the beloved." Martin said "I have a dream," and all worldly governments will bow in reverence. » › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›

You don't have to know everything about your spiritual purpose to be true to your path in life. Undertaking endless studies and traveling to the world's sacred places may add to your experiences, but these aren't guaranteed to help you reach self-realization.
Cultivating and following the path of joy, however, will help you reach new heights of spiritual insight.
Giving Yourself Permission to Cultivate Joy
Every moment of every day you're receiving "cues" from your environment of the next step you can take on your journey of self-realization and joy.» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›
God said:
You are certain that no one, and certainly not you, would ever want to suffer. And yet there is something you get from suffering that seems to compensate for all your suffering. Have you ever felt: "Look at me. Look at how much I suffer. Look at me. Look at all this unfairness. Look at what happened to me. Look at what the world has done to me. Look at what God has allowed."
And so there is a ragged remnant of transmuted joy that you get out of suffering.» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›

Greetings from the Federation:
There is much "afoot," as the saying goes, on your world today. Keep your eye on the ball because those who seem of the light may not be and those who seem to be serving the Illuminati may, in fact, surprise you. We have extended our protection to those who are in most need of it at this time and have stopped massive efforts from the Illuminati to start a major conflict in the cradle of your civilization.» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›

Looking back on 2011, there are likely to be parts which are a blur, partly because life happened so quickly, but also because everything seemed to happen at the same time! Yet, here you are in 2012, more self-aware, more awakened and more confident than ever before. It seems that your process of transformation has enabled you to reclaim both your sense of Self and your power, in order to give you a clearer perspective when it comes to your path ahead; you now know what you want and have a pretty good idea of how to get it!» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›

Beloved Ones,
Let the mantra for these times be the word "focus". No matter what is occurring in the World around you, focus your Love on it, bless it and shower this Love whenever and wherever you may walk. Know that you are each representatives of the Divine and that your every thought, word, action and deed has become most important in the bringing in of the New Earth reality. There will be many in the days that lie ahead that will try to distract you from this focus and it falls upon you to remember your vision and your purpose for being here at this time.» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›
The universe is full of magick and adventure which, if you have not discovered for yourself already, will be at your fingertips as you ascend into the higher realms of possibility. 3D Earth has also possessed her share of magick and secrets, but these aspects of your experience have been quite limited. Soon to be unlimited are your new powers and your new experiences throughout the vastness of space. You will explore unknown and uncharted corridors and meet new races and species of beings.» › › Read the full article by clicking here » › ›

T COOPER PRESENTS HIS MEMOIR REAL MAN ADVENTURES with special guest CLAY AIKEN
In February 2011, The Believer published an essay by T Cooper called "So There's This Man," in which Cooper wrote about his experience telling his parents he wasn't their daughter anymore. And that was the good news. The essay discussed his female-to-male transition, and all the assumptions (by others) and fears (of Cooper's own) that accompanied that transition. The essay was honest and widely admired, and inspired T Cooper's book, Real Man Adventures, which is at once groundbreaking, candid, very funny, occasionally sad, beautifully written and profoundly illuminating.Join us as T Cooper discusses his memoir.

Considering it's a variation on the same model, Jeff Leeds's 1965 356C puts out a completely different vibe than the Speedster. It's no Cadillac Coupe de Ville, but the '65 hardtop is a far more refined vehicle than its roofless cousin. The roof and windows are nice luxuries, but the biggest difference is mechanical: four-wheel disc brakes.
The 356 feels similar to the Speedster in terms of power -- maybe a tad slower, actually, on account of its added weight (about 300 pounds) and, on this car, muffled exhaust -- but its brakes are thoroughly superior. And strong brakes are definitely an important asset in a car that exhibits, shall we say, a mild handling idiosyncrasy: terrifying lift-throttle oversteer.
In the Speedster, my distrust for the brakes precluded building much speed on the tree-lined test route. With the coupe, I'm confident enough to drive harder, braking in a straight line and then holding the throttle steady through a big downhill corner. I'm not going that fast -- perhaps 40 mph on a curve rated for 30 -- but I keep my foot on the gas just in case. I find it hard to believe that the tail would come out at this pace, but I'm respecting the 356's reputation. Leeds, for his part, is silent. That is, until I've got the wheel straightened and the corner behind us.
"I was hoping you wouldn't lift," Leeds says. Apparently, my modest speed was still quick enough to have caused an impromptu adventure in oversteer. "It's a swing axle, so lifting changes the suspension geometry," he says. "Once you're used to it, you can use it to rotate into corners. But if you're not used to it..." Leeds just lets that sentence hang. It doesn't bear contemplating, really. But we both know there were quite a few 356 owners who didn't last long enough to buy a 911.

Learning Choice Academy
San Diego, CA 92131
About This School
Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system. See Learning Choice Academy's test results to learn more about school performance.
A school's Academic Performance Index (API) is a scale that ranges from 200 to 1000 and is calculated from the school's performance in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program. The state has set 800 as the API target for all schools to meet.
Learning Choice Academy had an API growth score of 756 in 2012. California uses the Academic Performance Index (API) to measure annual school performance and year-to-year improvement. Learning Choice Academy's 2012 base score was 731 and the school did meet its 2012 school-wide growth target.
In 2010, Learning Choice Academy had 27 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The California average is 24 students per full-time equivalent teacher.

I love this school. You're able to home school your child with the option of having them go into school 1, 2, or 3 days a week. The teachers and staff are very nice and helpful. My son will go to this school until he graduates. :)
So far, we are really enjoying TLC. Our EP, Cori, is flexible and fantastic. She is packed with helpful suggestions! The school actually offers MUCH MORE field-trip option then we can currently enjoy. The curriculum choices need a bit more in their selections but so far, so good!
I only wish they had weekly classes for grades past K.
