ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — One of David Gorczynski's legs is shorter than the other, and he has finished last in every race during his three years on the Orchard Park High School cross country team. But that never stopped him from competing.
Neither did his other disabilities, including an autism spectrum disorder, keep him from reaching the finish line, where his teammates often wait to cheer for him.
"He was smiling every time he crossed the finished line, and everyone was clapping," said Jacob Eneix, last year's team captain.
But Gorczynski's fourth and final year on the Quakers cross country team is very much in doubt. Unless a judge intervenes, Gorczynski has run into an obstacle that will keep him off the team during the coming school year: a state regulation.
The state has refused to grant the 20-year-old autistic student a waiver to participate in the team sport again.
"David is part of a team. He is part of something. If the state takes that away from him, it would destroy him," Eneix said. "I like to think of Orchard Park cross country as a family, and it wouldn't be the same family without David. He is a great kid, and it would kill me if he couldn't run."
State education law permits a high school student to participate on school sports teams until the last day of the school year during which the student turns 19 years old. Gorczynski, 20, was allowed to join the Quakers cross country team last school year under a waiver the state grants to students whose education has been delayed because of their disabilities.
Gorczynski will turn 21 in January, and he needs another waiver to participate in cross country during the coming school year. But state education law provides for a waiver for one year - not for a second year.
Mary Ellen Gorczynski has asked for a State Supreme Court ruling allowing her son to compete during the coming school year. She has sought an injunction preventing the defendants - the New York State Education Department, the Orchard Park Central School District and the New York State Public High School Athletic Association - from enforcing the age restriction.
Each of the defendants asked the court to dismiss the motion.
Mary Ellen Gorczynski declined to comment for this story. But in an affidavit for court case, she said: "It is very important that cross country is an integrated activity where David gets an opportunity to socialize with nondisabled peers outside of school, especially as David's classes except for gym are with all special needs students."
Gorczynski's court papers contend that the decision not to grant a second waiver violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, the New York Civil Rights Law and the New York and U.S. constitutions.
"But for David's disability, he wouldn't be in this predicament," said Linda J. DeTine of Neighborhood Legal Services during a hearing last week before Justice John L. Michalski.
Jill Yonkers, an attorney representing the Orchard Park Central School District, told Michalski the district is simply following a state regulation. If state regulations provided for a second-year waiver, and Gorczynski met the criteria, the district would allow him on the team again, she said.
Assistant Attorney General Benjamin K. Ahlstrom, representing the state Education Department, asked Michalski for a quick decision, given that cross country practice starts next month.
After hearing from the lawyers at Wednesday's hearing, Michalski reserved judgment.

Rules and Order Quotes in The Lovely Bones
How we cite our quotes:
"Nothing is ever certain," Len Fenerman said. (2.43) That was the line my father said to my mother, "Nothing is ever certain." (2.44)
Len's phrase is comforting at first, but hollow and even cruel eight years later, when he brings them Susie's charm. It also shows his desire to maintain order in the chaos.
"I'm certain there's a man in my neighborhood who knows something." (5.29)
And so Jack's frustrating and fruitless attempt to bring his daughter's killer to justice begins. He's trying to restore order to the situation. But Len Fenerman's desire to preserve order by being carefully not to accuse people without evidence wins out.
A little strange, Fenerman thought, but it doesn't make the man a murderer. (5.51)
Len Fenerman is trying to be a good cop. He can't stand the idea of making a mistake, of inconveniencing an honest citizen. He's too careful.

So I set October 5th as the cutoff date to get signed up and help get Wandering Lark into print by agreeing to pay $12.50 in advance, but my publisher convinced me to keep trying to get the full 100 names. So far, we have 79. So there are still 21 slots that need to be filled, and all I need is name, email and mailing address emailed to me so I can finish out the list. The first 100 who sign up will get a Free Copy of the novella The Demon of Mallow, a story that takes place a few years after Wandering Lark. How often do you get a free "print" copy of a novella, folks. Of course, if you don't sign up, you can't get one. And if you are not in the first 100, you will have to buy it when I release it publicly. And no one gets it until Wandering Lark is published. To that end, I have spent time uploading it to the printer, and I am waiting for my test copy. But for anyone to see this puppy, they must sign up for Wandering Lark. So there you have what I have been up to the last month, along with finishing the edits to Shadow of the Faolan, since I have a publisher wanting it, and promoting several releases. For instance, The Book of Tentacles is now available from Sam's Dot Publishing and contains my story "A Quiet Neighborhood." And Esther Friesner's werewolves in suburbia anthology Strip Mauled has just come out, and IT contains my story "That Time of the Month." Further down the road, I have a story in Demons: Clash of Steel, being reprinted by Rogue Blades Entertainment ("Son of the Rock"), and a story in Mystic Signals titled "Death and Need, and "Bella and the Flying Lugosi," which will appear in Esthers unnamed "Vampires in Suburbia" anthology. Yeah, I am back to doing more short fiction these days, along with the novellas. So much to do. Laura J. Underwood
Err..... Maybe I came in late here Laura (although I seem to be the first responder) What was all that about? What are we signing up to and, sorry to be crude, how much is it going to cost. (including shipping) What was the $12.50 all about? Oh and what's the book about. Is it a bodice ripper with tales of daring do or a fantasy of epic proportions set in a world of grobblings and trollates?
Not at all... Wandering Lark is Book 2 of "The Demon-Bound" duology. It is the sequel to Dragon's Tongue. It is High Adventure Fantasy in which Alaric Braidwine is accused of bonding with a demon, and forced into exile. In book one, he and his friends were trying to stop a blood mage from claiming an item known as "The Dragon's Tongue." But now Alaric is in exile, forced to flee for his life. His friends are prisoners of the High Mage, and he is just trying to divest himself of a demon so he can return and rescue them... The $12.50 is merely to help the publisher defray the upfront printing cost of publishing the book. The rest will be due when the book is in print, though what it will be will depend on how big the book turns out to be and what they choose to charge for cover price. As to shipping? For US orders, the publisher charges $3.00 flat (no matter what you order). Not sure what they charge for overseas shipping. Information for all this has been posted on my webpage. I now have 79 prepayers signed on. Just need 21 more. No money will be asked for until I turn the list of willing prepayers over to the publisher. They will contact everyone and arrange to collect the prepay fee at that point in time. I have been posting this information all over the web, and I keep updating it for the sake of those already signed on. Laura J. Underwood
And I guess I should add that Dragon's Tongue garnered good reviews from Library Journal and other places. It was published by Meisha Merlin who closed their doors in 2007 just before Wandering Lark was due out in print. So I basically have the second book in a series looking for a home (and I have one as long as I can get the prepayers to do their thing). I tried several large houses first, and was told my "numbers were too low" and since I know I had a 75% sell through (unless Meisha Merlin's publisher lied about the size of the print run) I was a little befuddled. I earned out the advance and was into royalties when Meisha Merlin closed (without paying me what they owed me--so I ended up with a LOT of books), and I can find copies of Dragon's Tongue in a large number of libraries listed on WorldCat, but libraries don't prepay, so I am having to depend on the fans who have asked me over and over when the book is coming out to fill the gap. And my publisher is a small press, so they cannot afford to publish a "fat fantasy" without a guaranteed prepay amount to defray costs of printing. Laura J. Underwood
Email me at keltora at yahoo dot com or PM me through Chronicles Network, and I will add you to the list and send you a note confirming that you are on the list. Laura J. Underwood
And we are now sitting on 81! Just 19 more to go!!! Why do I sound like that movie "Zorro, the Gay Blade?" ;-) Laura J. Underwood

(Adds description of the drug in third paragraph.)
Dec. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.'s Cephalon unit won an appeals court decision that prevents Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc. from selling a generic copy of the painkiller Fentora until 2019.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington today upheld the validity of a Cephalon patent on Fentora and backed a lower court ruling that Watson infringed the patent. The appeals court posted a notice of the decision on its website without a formal opinion explaining its findings.
Fentora is approved to relieve sudden episodes of cancer pain in adults already taking opioids, or morphine-like drugs. Cephalon has said the patent that was upheld expires in 2019 and is for a process of making the tablet dissolve.
The drug generated $81 million in U.S. sales in the first half, Cephalon said in August. Petah Tikva, Israel-based Teva bought Cephalon in October.
The case is Cephalon Inc. v. Watson Pharmaceuticals Inc., 09cv724, U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Wilmington).

I have a moist area at the far end of my backyard that faces north and is next to a fence. The area is moist because my yard slopes down gently from my house to the fence. This area is behind some shrubs like Invincible Hydrangeas, as well as trees like Bakeri spruce and Mountain Pine. Right now, this area is a magnet for weeds and I am so sick of pulling them out from this area! I am hoping that if I grow some ground cover there, it would choke out or even stop the weeds from getting there. Since this is a mostly shaded and rather moist area, what ground cover would grow there in my zone 3 yard? So far, I have considered the following: 1. Lamium Golden Anniversary - I love lamium but doesn't it dislike wet soil? 2. Sweet Woodruff - I love this thing! I saw this in the Botanical Garden in St. John's, NL, and I fell in love with it. The leaves are gorgeous and the dainty white flowers are just charming. Would this do well in this area? What else would you recommend for this area please? I am hoping that it will be something that will cover up this area fairly quickly, without being too aggressive. Thanks in advance! |
Follow-Up Postings:

Yes! When I read the title I was thinking sweet woodruff. Love that stuff. Primulas are nice too. They bloom early and the leaves look nice all summer. Primula cortusoides spreads slowly to fill a space in my yard. You might also consider lamium but it's invasive. |
Thanks, northspruce, for your fast response! I love my lamium in my part shade area, but yes, it is trying to EAT UP that area right now! However, I read somewhere that it does not tolerate wet soil, esp. over winter. Isn't that true? Anyway, I am also reading about golden creeping jenny and perinwinkle. I do want something that spreads quite fast. What do you think of those in this area? Thanks again! |
I have a ton of nepetia growing all over my yard and especially in the north west corner of my front bed where it gets very little sun. I never have to mow it and it only gets about 3-4 inches. Grows like wild fire and is really tough. Nice purple flowers throughout the summer. I like how it ruffles around my stepping stones and perennials. No idea where it came from but I can bring some to Calgary on the weekend if you like, Ostrich. :) Ginny |
Creeping Charlie I am told, is what it really is. :) Nice and green anyway. :) |
Mint. One of the native mints, or better for flavour one of the imports. Chocolate mint is nice. Mint loves moist shady areas, and will choke out your weeds. Might have to put in some garden edging to stop it from spreading beyond where you want it though. |

I have Woodruff that was in fairly deep shade when I planted it and is now in mostly sun it did great in both it spreads widely and quickly so it should do fine in that spot. It does overgrow short plants, ran right over my shooting stars and Lady's Mantle. It does get tiny burrs for fruit which the dogs get in their fur. Also have Creeping Jenny which runs like crazy leaves are very bright it adds a real splash of gold. Problem I have with it is if I drop bits on the way to the compost I have new plants, same thing with mints. I do love my Woodruff it is taller does stand about 6" and it can look very messy in spring |
- Posted by northspruce z3a MB CDA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 2, 14 at 9:37
I don't know if lamium hates wet soil or not. I have never seen it complain about anything, it just keeps growing and growing. Another nice invasive is variegated goutweed. It stands a little taller but a big patch of it look gorgeous. |
Woodruff is great. When I moved I put some into the new yard because I like it so much. Lamium doesn't seem to like constantly wet soil. I put some at the bottom of a grade and it's barely surviving this year (two leaves!). |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 2, 14 at 15:09
I have 3 varieties of lamium in my partial shade garden and they are fighting to take it over! Love it! They are also in soil that never gets drier than damp. 'Lemon Frost' is my fav as it glows at dusk. SCG |
Lamium is now a weed in my yard. It's the self seeding that is resulting in it being everywhere. I still keep a couple of patches, but am now diligently culling it out of most areas. It baffles me that most people find it well behaved. I must have perfect soil for it. |
I have Pewter Pink, which was nice and well-behaved for several years, but it has now gone nuts and is showing up all over the place. I'm tempted to dig it out and plant it in a spot where nothing seems to want to grow, but i'm not sure if that's a good move or not. Knowing my history with invasives - NOT! LOL |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 4b wannabe 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 2, 14 at 22:20
I guess I don't find it invasive (yet) because i just rip it out of the places I don't want it to be. It will meet my glyphosate friend if it gets too bad. SCG |
WOW! I came home from work and saw all of these great suggestions! Thank you so much! I think that I am gonna try some Sweet Woodruff. That stuff is just too pretty!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL That Golden Creeping Jenny (somehow I always called her CREEPY JENNY instead LOL) may be an idea, as long as she will not escape to my lawn! Then I would really hate her LOL As for lamium, perhaps I should just try a little bit.... this year, as some of you already mentioned, I am finding little bits of it all over my yard! How on earth did it get there, like 40 feet away from the original patch!? Does it produce seeds or whatever that would be carried by the wind or what!? Hmm.... anyway, perhaps I will try a small patch of it. I think that it will really not tolerate some wet areas over winter as I failed get that Lemon one going in an area this past winter and it was pretty moist there, I guess. As for gout weed - OMG, it is pretty OK, but I am scared to death to try that, for fear that it would take over my yard!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ginny, I have never seen Creeping Charlie (or is it also CREEPY CHARLIE!? ROTFLOL!) so let me look it up! Thanks for the offer though. Now, as for don's interesting suggestion of Chocolate Mint, I always thought that mint would need a sunny and dry area! Well, funny you said that because I saw that in CT one day and really loved the smell, so I bought one and then read that it's super invasive! So I am not planting it in a pot instead! LOL! I so worry that this will take over my yard.... BTW, has anyone tried Lily of the Valley!? Is that super invasive as well? I probably will have a mix of Sweet Woodruff, lamium and Creepy (!) something in that area then.... LOL! Thanks everyone for your suggestion! it is much appreciated. |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 4b wannabe 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 2, 14 at 23:47
Love your idea Ostrich, a small combination of everything some people consider invasive....my type of planting! LOL SCG |
- Posted by northspruce z3a MB CDA (My Page) on Thu, Jul 3, 14 at 0:28
I have some patches of lily of the valley. It spreads vigorously but you can pull it out where it's not wanted. I love the smell but out of bloom it's very boring. I would say that variegated goutweed is less invasive than LOTV. For me anyway. |
Thanks, northspruce! Very good point. The LOTV leaves are not that interesting to look at when they are not blooming. I cannot believe that gout weed is not as invasive as LOTV! I have not grown neither but I probably will stay away from either then.... LOL! Thanks again. |
LOTV doesn't have interesting leaves, but they do at least stay green all summer so that's a plus. It is probably quite invasive in a moist area. I have some in the shade under a pine and the dryness there prevents it from doing much of anything... after 4 years it is surviving but really the plants are no bigger than when I bought them (I wanted them to spread and colonize that dry area, no such luck.) |
My LOTV took years before it started to spead. I had wanted it to go down a small embankment towards the creek so that we wouldn't have to try and mow in there. It took so long to establish that i actually ended up planting some goutweed in that area figuring they could duke it out for supremacy! :) |

Ayotte officiates at wedding of Scott Brown's daughter
Ayla, who walked down the aisle holding the family's tuxedo-wearing terrier Koda, was maid of honor.
"By joining in marriage, they made the decision to be together for life," Ayotte said as the couple clutched hands. "May you grow stronger and better together and may you have a lifetime of happiness."
Arianna wiped away a tear as a summer breeze swept her veil from her face.
Hendry, a paralegal specialist with the Department of Justice, is a former Brown Senate office intern while Arianna will start veterinary school at Cornell University this fall.
Wedding bells will chime once again for the Brown family in just several weeks, when Ayla gets married at her Tennessee home.

Arab League expected to demand settlement freeze before peace talks continue
Israelis-Palestinian peace talks remain stalled over Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The Arab League is debating the matter today and tomorrow.
Asmaa Waguih/Reuters
Tel Aviv
Despite efforts to resolve a dispute on West Bank settlements before the Arab League meeting today and Saturday in Libya, the Israeli-Palestinian peace process inaugurated last month by President Barack Obama appears stalled.
The 22-member association is expected by observers to back Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's demand for a freeze on Israeli building in the West Bank before reengaging Israel in peace talks, though it won't close the door to negotiations entirely.
The Arab League "won't say 'We're done,' they'll say that, 'We support the Palestinian decision,' " says Palestinian Legislative Council member Hanan Ashrawi. "It's not walking away, it's saying the Israelis are destroying the substance of peace."
Palestinian spokesmen said they expect a final statement from the Arab League on Saturday.

by Chafe, William Henry
Publisher:Oxford University Press, USA
Prize-winning historian William Chafe here offers a vibrant chronicle of America's roller-coaster journey through the past forty years.
Since World War II, the U.S. has witnessed both stunning progress and profound social divisions. The economy boomed, suburbia blossomed, college became the norm for half the younger population, and social liberation movements swept away barriers of racial and sexual discrimination. Yet in the midst of affluence, poverty remained a blight affecting half the nation; war divided the country; and a new generation, with little faith in reform, emerged.
Proceeding from the chill of the Cold War to the heated social protests of the 1960s, Chafe shows how the conflict of forces in American life led to a turning point in 1968 and the ascendancy of a conservative coalition. Although set back by Watergate, this coalition re-emerged triumphant with the election of Ronald Reagan, even though enormous problems of inequality persisted in its midst.
In this gripping, brilliantly written narrative, Chafe brings our recent history to life. Highlighting the paradoxes of postwar reform and reaction, he cogently and passionately demonstrates how things might have been different.

But now I said to them, "You know very well what trouble we are in. Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire. Let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and end this disgrace!" — Nehemiah 2:17
Did you notice the words we and us in this verse? In order to motivate the people of Jerusalem to rebuild the wall, Nehemiah had to identify with their problem, their need, and their future. It was no longer their problem. Now Nehemiah saw the broken wall as our problem. Imagine the kind of response Nehemiah would have received if he had said, "You folks have gotten yourselves into a bad mess. You know what you need to do? You need to rebuild that wall. If you need me, I'll be in my office. After all, I wasn't part of the problem. You people will have to get it on and do the work. Let me know how it turns out."
Identifying with the problem encourages motivation.
When Lee Iacocca became chairman and CEO of Chrysler at the height of the auto giant's problems in 1979, he knew he would have to ask employees to take a pay cut to keep the company out of bankruptcy. Although he persuaded Congress to guarantee the company loans, he was still deeply distrusted by Chrysler's union members. He knew that he had to find a way to persuade these workers that he had Chrysler's best interests at heart.
Iacocca called a meeting of key management and union executives. He announced that for the next year his salary would be $1. The gambit worked. By sacrificing his own salary, Iacocca proved that he placed the welfare of the company over personal gain.
He identified with the workers. He was saying, "We are in this together. And, together we can make it through." He knew that people will accept a lot of pain when everybody is going through the trial together. If the followers know that the leader's in with them, together they can move a mountain or, in Nehemiah's case, build a wall.
In what ways can you identify with the people you lead? How can you say to them, "We are in this together?"
When planning your sermon agenda for the upcoming year, do you balance your subjects? Here are some things to look for.
We wear a lot of labels in life. But are some of those labels limiting, and are they God's intention for us?
Do you oversee a ministry that doesn't really tie in to the larger infrastructure, planning and overall discipleship process of your church? Saddleback Church's Kenny Luck offers some advice on how to get reconnected.
It's difficult to please everyone all of the time. Here is some advice for the times when people do a complete 360-degree turn about their feelings for you and your work.
Jesus' scope of ministry was incredibly narrow, but He meant it to be that way. Why is it difficult for churches to pattern their ministry after His?

I just brought in some Veggie plants I received on Monday. I was supposed to receive them on April 1st, but the mail order place was nice enough to delay them to the 15th because of the weather. Luckily I hadn't planted them yet, but I had them out on the deck to harden off. I'm also worried about my roses bushes. Most are budding out now and if the temps go below 45, the rose buds can be damaged. What is going on with this weather!!!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm near Braselton and I was feeling alright since they were only predicting mid 40's, but now it's Saturday morning and my phone says it's 37f!!! Weatherman. The only job where you can always be wrong and still get paid. |
Yeah, 39 here. My poor husband flew home from Chicago last night and got off the plane and was like 'what happened!' |

All of my garden plants that were budding or in bloom fared just fine in the high 30's, even the toms and peppers seem unphased. But then I actually raised them in similar temperatures in the greenhouse to promote stockier plants even though they grow slower under those conditions. It worked like a charm, they are the healthiest, biggest, bushiest young plants I've ever set out. Whether it adversely affects their mature height or production at all remains to be seen, this was something I tried based on reading info from the greenhouse growers forum. But so far so good. |

Sipdown! After all the sipdowns that went into making yesterday's 'Suicide is Painless" ice tea blend, that puts me at 290!
My first tea of the day, & the first several sipdowns, I hope. I'd like to clear my cupboards out a bit, maybe narrow it down to my most favorites (stop laughing Sil, I know you are!)
This Irish Brekkie is ok, but not good enough to invoke images of Collin Farrell in a bathrobe saying, "Pass me a cup, Love" & winking.

Hi - I have a 3 month old small mixed breed puppy. He has floppy ears. I've had other floppy eared dogs in the past that had problems with stinky ears, mites, infections. I asked the vet about his ears and he suggested plucking out the hairs growing out from his ears. He demonstrated for me - and the puppy reacted but not very badly.
So I've been plucking out hairs a few at a time every few days - and making sure I handle his ears w/o plucking in between. Is this the best way to proceed? Or should I try to get more out at one time and not do it again for a month or so. I don't want him to associate his head being touched with pain. Or is this something I should leave to a groomer? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Our lhasa-poodle mix had hairy ears, and our vet showed us the same as yours did, to hand-pull the hair. You're doing this the right way, a little at a time, and touching ears on other days. It's best for all involved to do a little at a time rather than a lot when it becomes a problem. It's a lot less painful to pull a few than a lot, and if your dog ever gets inflamed/infected ears, it'll be terribly painful to pull a lot of hair. Prevention is the name of the game here. DH would pull her hair while watching tv, just a couple quick tugs then a treat or some love/attention. She was generally good about it, as she got elderly it wasn't as easy. We also used forceps/clamps occasionally, it was easy to set the clamp on some hair, give it a twist and yank. It hurt her more though, as we usually pulled more at once that way. You can also get deeper in the canal with forceps (gotta be very careful you can also pinch the tender flesh in the ear, don't ask why I know this). It's a good habit to get in, hairy ears can have problems. |

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A man has been wounded in a shooting with state troopers on a highway in southeast Wyoming.
The Highway Patrol says the shooting occurred Saturday night during a chase that began after an earlier shooting in Hawk Springs in southern Goshen County.
The patrol says the chase ended on U.S. 85 north of Cheyenne in Laramie County when authorities used spikes to disable the fleeing vehicle.
The patrol says a man exited the vehicle and fired at troopers, who then returned fire.
The suspect was taken to Cheyenne Regional Medical Center where he remained hospitalized Sunday.
No Troopers were injured during the incident.
The name of the man involved was not released.
The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating.

.....if there is such a thing. Had to move from house to apartment to be near family, and now have a miniature kitchen. Does anyone else cook in a small area and, if so, what are your secrets to cooking successfully while maintaining sanity? Thank you for any helpful thoughts. |

- Posted by andreak100 (My Page) on Sat, Dec 15, 12 at 10:03
Well, first...let's be clear...I lost my sanity long before the current kitchen. So, there's that. But, that doesn't help much, now does it? Honestly, you can have a tiny kitchen that works better than a medium or large one. Square footage wise, my current kitchen is at least twice the size of the house we used to have...and this kitchen is WAY less functional. My usable counter space is virtually non-existent. I have almost no outlets. My lighting is atrocious. My cabinets are terrible. There is very little positive that I can say about my larger kitchen other than it's larger. But, it has less overall storage, less usable counter area...so I found my old kitchen WAY more workable. So, if counterspace is an issue, the best advice I can give is to clean as you go (really, sound advice no matter the size of the kitchen) and if you can list some specific things that are challenges so far, maybe we can help you in figuring out a way to work within what you have. |
- Posted by EATREALFOOD (My Page) on Sat, Dec 15, 12 at 11:35
For many many many years I only had about 3.5' of usable counter space and part of that area was taken up by a counter dish drain. I worked around it quite successfully by cutting up and washing all vegetables in the order that they would be cooked. I keep multiple small screen colanders and bowls of all different sizes to move the vegetables to once they are washed. The last thing I would open would be the meat. While the meat was seasoned or marinating and getting to room temperature I would wash all the cutting boards and sink. I still work this way and now that I have more counter I move all the vegetables/meat to the empty counter while I rinse off boards and load the DW. Since I use a wok a lot this method keeps me organized. |

...it is possible to maintain your sanity in a space space. After all billions of people around the world do it on a daily basis quite successfully. Don't forget to chill the white wine. :) |

Of course you can remain sane! I think andreak's advice is key, clean while you go. Another hint is to streamline. If you are never going to use a fondue pot in this space, put it in storage or get rid of it. Having the fewest amount of things in your space, makes your space the most efficient. Also, multipurpose. I cooked happily in an apartment that had 24" of counter space between the stove and the sink for years. I got a rolling butcher block cart. It held some appliances, it was a prep station and I bought one of those card table tops that is a rectangle with wings that turn it into a circle and voila, a dining table. |

localeater-I forgot the rolling cart-I had one for years. They really do hold a lot. |

Thanks to one and all for writing. I have always washed dishes/utensils as I've cooked, so still do that. Also have a very small, narrow table in the doorway which holds some extras. My main adjustment seems to be the lack of counter space on which to work even though the counters hold a bare minimum of necessities i.e. toaster, etc. You've given me encouragement and I'm now determined to conquer the challenge. Thank you. |
writersblock, I love that link. |
My very first apartment had a tiny kitchen, which was a blessing, because it was a studio and having a separate kitchen was wonderful. I dislike kitchens in my living room. It was a tiny, narrow room with a window at one end. Big plus there. Along one wall was an apartment-sized refrigerator and a tiny, apartment-sized gas stove. Along the other wall was a large enamel sink with attached drainboard, sort of like the one pictured below. No counter on either side, no cabinets underneath it. There were three tall-to-the-ceiling cabinets on the wall over the sink. I hung a big spider plant in the window, put wooden crates under the sink to hold pots and pans, filled the cabinets with food and hand-me-down china and glasses. Used a big cutting board on the drainboard to prepare food. At the time, I made all my own bread (bread machines weren't on the retail market yet) and cooked everything from scratch. When the refrigerator door swung open as I was working at the sink, I didn't have to turn around to close it, I could just kick it with my foot. Cosy, but also a really efficient work triangle. My suggestions: Declutter your kitchen stuff. Figure out what you can store outside of the kitchen. The stuff you use the most should be in the kitchen within easy reach. Things you use only a few times a year should be stored elsewhere. Check out places like Ikea (which I think has great kitchen organizers) and the Container Store. Look for wall-mounted storage solutions, and "add a shelf" gizmos that let you get more into each cabinet. Check out double-duty appliances. A stand mixer that can also knead bread and work as a blender or food processor saves space. Consider storing less food and shopping for food more often. This opens up more cabinet space for gadgets, gizmos and china and glasses. Evaluate your habits. I tend to move a lot and I've discovered that each new kitchen requires some adjusting on my part in order to work efficiently in it. Storage has to be rearranged, things need to be kept in different parts of the kitchen. Don't just recreate your old kitchen. Examine the new one to see how to use it to best advantage. That tiny kitchen I used to have? I cooked for up to 6 people at a time in there and had lovely dinner parties. It can be done. |

All right gals and guys - I took everything you wrote to heart, and want to tell you that I have made six batches of different cookies, and they all taste as good as if they were made in a large kitchen. So I've learned that it can be done, plus I've gained some patience as I've solved the problem. Usually, in my age bracket (88) adjustments don't come easily, so darned if I'm not pleased with myself - and thankful for your help. Happy Holidays to all. |

"I have made six batches of different cookies "in my age bracket (88)" Ok you put us to shame. I have friends who are less than half your age and they can't fry an egg whether in a large or small kitchen!!! |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Sat, Dec 22, 12 at 13:52
Well, uh, we need to verify that claim. Put out the cookies and we'll draw straws to see who has to go test your claim they taste "as good as if they were made in a large kitchen". Oh, and now someone with a large kitchen needs to supply some cookies too. In the name of science and truth, of course! |

My kitchen in NYC is 6x7. I cooked twice a day in it. It was remodeled in 2009 and it worked well for me and my husband. I hosted dinner parties and everything. The only real issue was the exhaust since the hood couldn't vent out and there was no window. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/ECON - U.S. facing "daunting" debt outlook as default date looms

WASHINGTON, June 22 (Xinhua) -- The budget outlook in the United States is
"daunting" and the federal debt will reach about 70 percent of gross
domestic product (GDP), the highest level since World War II, according to
a report released by the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) on
"Recently, the federal government has been recording budget deficits that
are the largest as a share of the economy since 1945, " said the CBO's
2011 Long-Term Budget Outlook report. " Consequently, the amount of
federal debt held by the public has surged."
The CBO said that at the end of 2008, that debt equaled 40 percent of the
nation's annual economic output. Since then, the figure has shot upward.
The sharp rise in debt stems partly from lower tax revenues and higher
federal spending related to the recent severe recession. However, the
growing debt also reflects an imbalance between spending and revenues that
predated the recession, said the report.
The CBO noted that as the economy continues to recover and the policies
adopted to counteract the recession phase out, budget deficits will
probably decline markedly in the next few years.
"But the budget outlook, for both the coming decade and beyond, is
daunting," said the CBO.
The increasing spending on social welfare in an aging society accounts for
bigger and bigger proportion of the federal deficit.
The retirement of the baby-boom generation, people at age around 60,
portends a significant and sustained increase in the share of the
population receiving benefits from Social Security, Medicare, and
Moreover, per capita spending for health care is likely to continue rising
faster than spending per person on other goods and services.
According to CBO's projections, if current laws remained in place,
spending on the major mandatory health care programs alone would grow from
less than 6 percent of GDP today to about 9 percent in 2035 and would
continue to increase thereafter.
Soaring deficit has triggered hot debate between the two parties.
Republicans insist that the White House needs to deeply cut spending,
while the Obama administration and Democrats argue that a too deep cut
will sacrifice the nascent recovery.
The U.S. public debt surged after the burst of the financial crisis and
economic recession. The federal government annual deficit hit 1.41
trillion U.S. dollars in 2009 fiscal year and 1. 29 trillion dollars in
2010 fiscal year.
In a recent report, the U.S. Treasury Department estimated that federal
deficit in full fiscal year 2011 will reach 1.65 trillion dollars, the
record high level.
Recently, the big fiscal fight in Washington is how to increase the debt
limit, the legal ceiling on borrowings which was hit on May 16.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has repeatedly urged Congress to avoid the
catastrophic economic and market consequences of a default crisis by
raising the statutory debt limit in a timely manner to avoid first-ever
federal government default on its obligations.
The White House has said the borrowing limit must be raised by Aug. 2 or
the government will run out of cash to pay its bills, possibly triggering
another financial crisis and recession.
Many analysts say that the debt ceiling issue will be solved by the
deadline. However, they argue that it is becoming more dangerous if
Washington will not take action as soon as possible.
The CBO suggested that to keep deficits and debt from climbing to
unsustainable levels, policymakers will need to increase revenues
substantially as a percentage of GDP, decrease spending significantly from
projected levels, or adopt some combination of those two approaches.
It also urged the government to take earlier action in order to avoid
higher cost in the future.

I am considering buying a new home, and thus will need a to apply for a mortgage. I am currently going through the Free Credit report process. I am looking at the TransUnion one now. I purchased a credit score from them. When it came up it said it was a 737. I thought this was good (maybe a B or A or whatever), but according to them it is a C. Their analysis said it will be difficult for me to get credit.
Does anyone have experience with transUnion or other credit scores? What are good and what are bad? Do you think I will have difficulty getting a morgage load? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The credit score is only one part of the equation. What is more important to any lender is how you have used your credit in the past. Have you paid on time, or do you have multiple lates? Do you pay more than the minimum, or just the minimum? |
When it came up it said it was a 737. I'm guessing that is maybe out of the 850 scoring point system? Can you pay anything off that might just have a small amount owed? Are you maybe stretched quite thin...like have a lot of open accounts, and owe some on a lot of them? It should have given you the reason for your score as well, I think. Have you read through it all thoroughly? Possibly your amount owed to the amount of available credit is out of whack....say for an example available credit $50,000 and you owe $40,000. Sue |

goto MYFICO.COM and pull you 3 in one score report, NOT the score monitor, but the one time pull. this is your REAL scores. the scores you get direct from each CRA are beacon scores, NOT real FICO scores. myfico.com is the only place a regular consumer can pull their true scroes.other scores give you an idea, but they can be 100+/- points off! |
Not that I'm going to do it, but what does it cost to go to myfico.com. I have never heard of them b4. Why would the score from the credit reporting agencies be off by 100+/- points. Can I ask where you saw, read, or heard this? Sue |
- Posted by julietspeaks (My Page) on Mon, Apr 21, 08 at 18:49
Sue, if you Google "FICO scores" you'll find lots of articles talking about the discrepancies among different scoring methods, and why FICO (Fair Isaac Corp., myfico.com) is still the score used by the vast majority of lenders. I have linked an MSN money article to help get you started (I think - it's my first try posting a URL :)). I hope this helps! |
Here is a link that might be useful: MSN Article
you'll find lots of articles talking about the discrepancies among different scoring methods, It isn't so much discrepancies, is it, but just different types of scores...non FICO scores? I got my report and score from one CB and it wasn't an actual FICO score (can't remember what it was called) but I was in the top 2% in the nation according to them...It suited me fine. Sue |

"I got my report and score from one CB and it wasn't an actual FICO score (can't remember what it was called) but I was in the top 2% in the nation according to them...It suited me fine." I just might suit you fine... but many lenders ONLY go by your FICO scare. |
I just might suit you fine... but many lenders ONLY go by your FICO scare. So that CB has my FICO score...yet just chose to give me that 'other' score' when I requested my score? Hmmmm...it is about time I pull a free credit report...and will see if the 'score' they offer to send me (for a fee) in indeed called a FICO b4 I submit my request. If it isn't a FICO I'll come back and report just what it was called...well in fact I'll come back and report either way. |
- Posted by gawdinfever (My Page) on Tue, Oct 21, 08 at 22:21
fico scores are the 'real deal'. Each credit bureau has their own scoring models, but vary widely. |
Here is a link that might be useful: FICO Scores
- Posted by breenthumb (My Page) on Thu, Oct 23, 08 at 11:13
Interesting site, gawdinfever. Thanks for the link. Sandy |
For your free credit report everyone should be using annualcreditreport.com. Others are charging a fee for what should be free to you. If you want your FICO score, you will have to pay a few bucks. Also, since you are entitled to three free reports a year, spread them out throughout the year, don't get them all at once. That way you can keep track of any misuse of your credit. |
- Posted by stargazzer (My Page) on Thu, Oct 23, 08 at 22:07
don't apply for or close any credit cards until you get your loan. Every time you do that your credit takes a hit, it takes a big hit if you take advantage of applying for a card to get a discount then close it. |

Barring outside financial help to cover the expensive medical bills, the boy's mother — Usher's ex-wife Tameka Raymond — would be forced to pull the plug once insurance coverage ceased. Though Usher has been supportive throughout the ordeal, and even reportedly hired a plane to fly Foster to her son, TMZ claims the pop star has not offered to pay any of the medical expenses, and that Tameka isn't considering asking him.

Exactly, Chad. The only difference between a large fence lizard poop and a rat turd is the white stuff at the end of the lizard poop. It looks just like a cross between a rat and a bird poop. |

As promised, more poop. The first photo shows the droppings from a relatively small hornworm. If you look carefully, you will note that they look like tiny hand grenades. Just the right size for GI Joe when I was a kid. Some people think they look more like short, tiny, brown cobs of corn. Those people played with the little tiny GI Joes that came out in the 80s, I guess. Here is a nice comparative shot of Lloyd Bridges lizard leavings to the upper left, adolescent rat scat to the lower left, and hornworm grenades at the top right. By the way, the flowers of red trumpet flowers, campsis radicans, make great campfires for GI Joe. Renee |

AVP International Gathering 2008 - Kenya
The International Gathering brought together about 120 people from 23 countries, in Kakamega, Western Kenya. It was extraordinary to spend 5 days with creative, innovative, dedicated people who are all committed to AVP.
There was so much positive, sharing, caring energy, that it would have been almost impossible not to ride the currents of it. Seeing people with language barriers between them making the effort to converse even though it was such an effort, listening to all the reports from each country that has taken AVP and molded it to fit the needs they are facing
Coming from Green Haven, where it all began, I felt so gratified, although my AVP roots don't stretch anywhere near that far back, but just knowing that this seed has flown on the wind to so many places around the globe and how connected we all are through the powerful medium of AVP.
Here are a few of the innovative directions AVP is taking around the world:
- In Australia the program has been adapted for university use and is given as a part of the curriculum.
- In Western Australia, when the outreach to the aboriginal community wasn't successful, the coordinator asked an aboriginal artist to design the brochure and then the community responded.
- In Costa Rica AVP is offered through the equivalent of our Child Protective Services, both the basic and a special topic workshop.
- In Nigeria AVP worked with the kids in one gang and engaged them by setting up basketball games. They then played against a rival gang and from that formed one team that played another gang.
- In Russia AVP workshops are being given to the military.
- In the USA John Shufurd does AVP workshops with correction officers during their training.
- In South Africa the umbrella agency offers AVP style conflict resolution workshops to corporations and receives some serious income from that. Once the country reports are available, there will be much, much more that I didn't write down as we listened to the reports.
- Nepal was chosen as the site of the next IG in 2010. A new program was started there this year by Subhash, who is Nepali and Ken, who is Australian and living in Nepal with his Nepali wife. Several facilitators came from Australia to support the initial work and they were able to do a full cycle of workshops, to train Nepali facilitators and there is commitment to continue to build the program.
AVP in Africa has so much energy and innovation. It feels as though the heartbeat of AVP is coming from Africa. The majority of AVP facilitators from Africa were in their 20s, and is being adapted to work in many new incarnations. Perhaps because much of Africa is torn by violence, civil war, inequality and lack of opportunity the young people realize that they need to create the future they want to live in and so are committed to working to bring positive, constructive values to their countries. Attendees came from ; Kenya, Sudan, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, DRC, Zimbabwe, Namibia, South Africa, Angola, Britain, Ireland, Russia, India, Nepal, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Brazil.

POSTED: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 - 6:37pm
UPDATED: Saturday, October 16, 2010 - 1:03pm
We have new details tonight in the prior arrests of police officer Alberto Madrid. He was arrested this week after police say he stole a money box from a wedding.
Back in 2002 he was arrested twice; both of those charges were eventually dismissed.
Witnesses says Madrid was driving a truck and hit a power pole. Then they say Madrid drove away from the scene and eventually stopped in a parking lot.
A witness named Jose Gomez went up to Madrid in the parking lot to ask if he was ok. He says Madrid then pushed his chest, causing him to fall backward.
When officers arrived they detected a strong odor of alcohol on Madrid's breath. Both of those charges were dismissed.
We are requesting the case information for Madrid's second driving while intoxicated arrest, another case that county records show was dismissed. We have not been able to get a hold of Madrid to hear his side of the story.

BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Some Baton Rouge area mom's say they're upset with Target stores. Today, they protested at the Millerville Target.
It's called a "nurse-in." The protest was organized after a Texas mom was reportedly approached by Target store employees there, and was asked to breast feed her child in a fitting room, rather than in the open store.
The moms we talked with in Baton Rouge say they've never experienced the same thing, but feel they should be able to breast feed their children in public.
"We should be able to nurse our children whenever they're hungry, wherever that may be," Tara Pitcher, concerned mother, said. "We should not be embarrassed or harassed. So we are just here to show support and solidarity for other nursing moms."
Target stores have said in the past, mom's are allowed to breast-feed their children inside stores. They haven't responded to this specific case in Texas.
We want to know what you think about this issue. Go to the NBC33 Facebook [2] page and post your comment.

Il Bellezza Place Salon & Spa's licensed aestheticians rejuvenate skin with exfoliating microdermabrasion treatments and enzyme-infused facials. Both flavors of 15-minute facial can improve the appearance, if not the attitude of, blotchy, acne-prone, or sun-damaged skin by accelerating the natural exfoliation process more effectively than frantically pedaling a bike against the wind. The noninvasive microdermabrasion treatment can help fade fine scars and wrinkles, and the enzyme facial decimates dead skin and bacteria. Clients may notice and feel results the day of treatment, but multiple sessions are recommended to treat acne or particularly stubborn clown face paint.
Lydia Forshee has the key to a healthy, youthful complexion. As the owner and operator of Lydia Skincare Spa, she helps clients balance their skin's oil and moisture levels to achieve radiant skin. Along with her custom facials, such as vitamin-C and oxygen-infused facials, she pampers clients with full-body treatments that include a dry-brushed organic sugar scrub and moisturizer. Face and body waxing are also available.
Around the spiral staircase inside Great Day Massage, subdued decor and soft music relax patrons as licensed staff members perform massages, facials, and manicures. Clients who want the works can fly solo with a spa package, or host their own spa parties with custom treatments, catered meals, and mandatory terry-cloth gowns.
Founder Todd Beckman opened the first Tan Company location, then called The St. Louis Tan Company, in 1994 with a pair of average-size sun retreats. After perfecting a superstore concept with multiple levels of tanning beds and an intrepid-reporter alter ego, Beckman's bronzing business now spans 53 locations in 8 states, including 39 locations in the St. Louis area. Todd ensures each salon keeps the same high standards that won the 2010 award for Best Tanning in St. Louis from CityVoter.
A knowledgeable staff maintains each bright, highly sanitized environment and stocks shelves with Australian Gold, Swedish Beauty, and Designer Skin tanning products. The Tan Company also fashions UV-free tans with Mystic Tan standup booths that evenly spritz bodies with a paraben-free DHA solution infused with aloe vera.
Pacific Beach's Beauty Angel treatment pairs beautification and physique sculpting in a series of 10-minute sessions combining light therapy, vibration, and platform-based exercise. Within the stand-up booth, clients bask in a safe red light that works to reawaken the body's collagen and elastin factories, disentangling wrinkles around the eyes and firming skin across the entire physique. The booth sports a vibrating platform designed to help break down cellulite and further stimulate epidermal collagen production. The vibrating motion also facilitates muscle toning and recovery by relaxing fibers. After seven daily sessions over one week, wrinkles may begin to diminish, cellulite may begin fade, and skin may begin smooth out, negating the need to seek eternal youth in every municipal fountain.
People opt for permanent makeup for numerous reasons. They may want to accent their eyes, fill in patchy eyebrows, or simply save time on their morning routine. Regardless of their reasoning, Just Simply Beautiful Permanent Cosmetics can help those seeking permanent cosmetics. The permanent-makeup artist behind Just Simply Beautiful offers permanent eyeliner, hair-stroke eyebrows, lip liner or tint, and scar camouflage, among other services.

Champagne, please! (129 comments)
While I would have preferred them to find long data retention unconstitutional in general, I can live with that. I'm opening a bottle of champagne.
And a really huge thanks to Prof. Papier, the Chief Justice, who will retire soon. Thank you, man. That guy has been one of the few people in our republic who constantly held up civil liberties.

Re:I'm just bragging (191 comments)
is it even malware? What would it be doing?
The real risk does not come from pop-up ads, a changed browser or porn links on a desktop. Nor does it come from formatting harddisks or constantly rebooting. The dangerous thing would be rootkits that hide, remain unseen, log your keystrokes, log your internet traffic etc. and send them to a business rival. They could be buried deep in network traffic, for instance in DNS requests. In contrast to the usual "open some ad windows on the users screen" malware, in this case remaining unseen is crucial.

Police cars are also sometimes allowed to ignore red lights, use one-way streets in the wrong direction and ignore speed limits, in case of emergency. That, however, does not mean that we should teach every person to ignore red lights responsibly.
While I believe that your argument is valid in some other, not traffic-related cases (e.g. I believe that teaching young people how to drink responsibly is better than deterring them from drinking, but that is a different thing), I believe it is not valid in this case. When driving, have one hand at the steering wheel and occasionally one at the gearshift. That's it.

Auto-delete cookies when closing the browser. It's not that complicated, and while it costs you some extra time (logging on etc.), it might be less than you thought it would. I've been doing it for 5 years now.

I thought he had been hung, drawn and quartered. Oh wait, nevermind, that was William Wallace.
Of course they did. (536 comments)
...and I still have my doubts that they've become extinct at all. When I look around me, I can't help but come to the conclusion that they still live among us.
Re:MI5 and MI6? (134 comments)
Although, to be precise, the MI6 is nowadays called Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) and in contrast to the FBI, the MI5 does not have police-like powers like arresting etc.
