When we bought are current project house, we were suspicious that there would be logs in the walls, due to a) their thickness, and b)there are other old log structures in the area. We have now gutted the living room, and yep here's our log cabin! The chinking appears to be original, or close to it (about 150 years old). At one point someone whlte washed over the whole thing. The white wash comes off easily in big chunks. Some of the chinking also comes out easily. It appears to be made of dirt (and probably lime). They used pieces of wood for daubing and it appears to be in good condition. The logs are huge, and you can still see the shape of the tree in some cases. But what really struck us are the marks on the sides of the logs. These were made by hand, probably made by an adze. Would have been hard work. And since this is no longer and exterior wall, we really want to leave it exposed. I have learned to do a lot of things DIY over the years, but this is my first attempt at chinking. Anybody else here do this? I have searched online and not found a definitive answer. Some say use mortar, others say that's a mistake. The premixed chinking is VERY expensive. And most videos I have found online show a very thin chinking joint. I found one youtube video where he used used a metal lath, but said his recipe was a "secret" (gee thanks). Most of those who say don't use mortar are because the logs settling will crack it. Do you think our logs would be done settling? Or will there still be movement? If the mortar cracks, can I just patch periodically? I am a DIY Tiler, and I have the distinct urge to get get my bucket of Redgard, then paint it beige :) |

Wood is a living breathing substance and will expand and contract with weather. That said, in an interior wall it isn't going to see vast temperature changes. Humidity can certainly affect it, but you say these are big logs. I think I'd clean it up as best as possible and go at it with mortar or possibly a heavy clay or caulk type product. I'd suggest stuffing some brown plumbers oakum in those joints to act as a base. I've spent to much time with a yearning iron on that. The worst case is you system doesn't work out and you have to go to step two. Go for it and post some after pics. Good luck with it. |

Use "caulk rod" (looks like skinny pool noodles) in the thick cracks, then chink over them. that minimizes the amount of filler you need. To maximize the durability, embed something in the first layer of material for the chinking material to cling to. Strips of wire mesh would work. Fill most of the way, add the strip[, finish filling. The chinking material would have been whatever was locally available - around here it's local clay/mud mixed with local straw for strength. As a more modern material, I would investigate the various flexible crack fillers that are on the market. Yes, they are on the expensive side, BUT would not need replacing very soon. |

A little progress. I cleaned out all the loose chinking, and scraped off as much of the lime wash as possible. But then logs looked like the needed something. I didn't want to stain them. Would have really like to use Waterlox, but I only have 2 gallons and that's intended for the floors next weekend. So I ended up getting some linseed oil, and I am very happy with results. Next will be the chinking. Anybody have a clue what kind of trees these were? |

More of "How I did it". We were in Restore last week, and I came across three rolls of this for only $2 each. It was the perfect size, and very easy to trim to fit the uneven spaces with a razor knife. I held them in place with screws to the logs and daubing. I decided to try tile mortar. Why? Mainly because I had an almost full bag, and figured if it didn't work I could just try something else. But I liked the idea that it is fortified to avoid cracks and help bond to wood. I did mix it a little thicker than usually when doing tiling. I put the first coat up pretty thin, just to secure and harden up the plastic screening. After that was hard, I came back and put on a thicker coat. It was a little hard to get smooth so I used a old paint brush and dragged across it. It work well. The tile mortar probably isn't the best product for this application because it does tend to droop if you pile it on too thick. But if you are patient and and do a couple coats it will work. We thought the white was a little "too white" so for the final coat I mixed in some beige paint and coated it on with the paint brush. I am pretty happy with the final result. I still have a few trim pieces to put on on the side and bottom. It was well work the effort. |

.- With the release of Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical just days away, the head of the Knights of Columbus is warning people not to ask how the Pope's teaching will validate their world view but how their views should change in response to the document.
The Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Carl Anderson, states that those in positions of economic influence shold take notice of "Caritas in Veritate", the Holy Father's forthcoming encyclical, to be released on July 7th.
"Commentators," Anderson says, "should avoid trying to analyze the pope's document from their own perspectives or through a political lens. Pope Benedict XVI's comments in this encyclical, like his writing on the economy previously, concern the need for an ethical underpinning in order for any economic system to be sustainable. An ethical underpinning to economic systems must transcend politics."
Another reaction that Anderson warns against is reading the encyclical and then "asking not how it validates our worldview." Instead, he suggests asking how one's worldview should change in response to the document.
"The world deserves a market economy with a conscience. We should bear in mind that Pope Benedict XVI in a 1985 paper criticized Marxism heavily for being too 'deterministic' and warned that market economies risked collapse if they too excluded or ignored the ethical component of individual decision making. Certainly, he has been proven correct, and thus all of us, and especially those in position of economic leadership, should certainly take notice of this encyclical," the Supreme Knight recommends.
The Pope's newest teaching document asks the world to re-examine the economic crisis by looking at "the very foundation of our system – and to build on the bedrock of ethics rather than the sand of determinism," he explains.
"We could sum up the pope's thinking on the economy this way: Each of us must answer Christ's question, "Who do you say that I am?" If we, with Peter, answer "The Messiah," then that should direct the axis of our life. Our most important reality must be the truth of our relationships. In this, we understand how the law and prophets could be summed up in Christ's two commandments: that we love God totally, and love our neighbors as ourselves. Thus we are able to speak of 'caritas in veritate.'"
"If we accept this, we can no longer ask Cain's question: 'Am I my brother's keeper?'" notes Anderson.
"Accepting this premise, we must realize that our exercise of freedom cannot take the form of simply amassing the most wealth that we can."
"Rather, all that we do in freedom must reflect that reality and all our actions must take into account the effects of those actions on others. A Christian must be a person for others. In America, most people are Christian, so it is easy to see why they intuitively understand that greed is at the root of our economic crisis, and that one can be ethical and successful. This is the message we have seen already from Pope Benedict XVI, in his writings before he became pope, and specifically in Spe Salvi and Deus Caritas Est –his two previous encyclicals," the leader of the Knights says.

La China Restaurant's vast and varied menu brims with classic Chinese recipes. Start off with savory potstickers or creamy crab rangoons, each packed into a paper-thin dough envelope perfect for stamping with sauce and mailed as a thank-you note to a loyal carrier pigeon. A wide range of meat-, noodle-, or seafood-based entrees also beckons diners—including the pecan shrimp, which drenches the crispy crustaceans in an ambrosial honey sauce. The five-flavor chicken lets tender poultry mingle with minced water chestnuts, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots in a signature sauce for an opus of tastes more harmonious than the Beatles' weekly potlucks. Beverages toe the line between domestic and imported tastes: wine selections range from California varietals to traditional sake and plum wine, and beer brands include Budweiser to Tsingtao.
When Stuart Davis opened the first City Wok in North Hollywood in 1990, he had already been honing the restaurant's concept for three years. He envisioned a stylish, casual restaurant where chefs created fresh, healthy versions of authentic Chinese dishes to order in an open kitchen. The problem? Davis lacked a background in traditional Chinese cooking. Enter Hing Fan Chan, a professional chef trained in Kowloon, China. "It was a 50-50 collaboration," Davis told Restaurant Hospitality magazine in 2003: Chan brought traditional recipes to City Wok, and worked with Davis to create healthy, MSG-free versions of authentic dishes. Their collaboration paid off: in 2011, City Wok earned Palm Springs Life's award for the area's Best Chinese Restaurant.
Today, flames surge as chefs tend woks in chrome-lined open kitchens. In the dining room, customers relax as they wait for servers to arrive with dishes such as a spicy kung pao combo or house lo mein. A breakfast menu features creative wok scrambles and moo shoo burritos, bringing Chinese flavors to morning meals without the hassle of stealing a Concorde.
J.Wok was created with the idea that great food is best served as an amalgamation of Eastern and Western cuisine. Taking it's cue from the melting pot that is today's modern society J.Wok's menu utilizes authentic Asian recipes as a basis while creating inventive dishes with a distinct American sensibility.
Kip's Cafe had been in El Cajon for 52 years since 1956 before relocatiing to the current location in Hillcrest. It is one of the few restaurants that one can find good Chinese, Japanese food and sushi, as well as a full bar with excellent selection of wines under one roof. You always can find something you like in here!
King's Garden is in the business of fulfilling cravings. This Chinese restaurant serves all the traditional dishes that whet diners' appetites, including barbecued pork, fried shrimp, and szechwan beef. Explore culinary delights with the restaurant's cold plates of pork stomach and flavored jelly fish, or answer you sweet tooth's call with a fried and caramelized pineapple. King's Garden thinks Oriental Cruisine is best served "Family Style", so come with friends and family and get to try lots of different dishes.

Honoring Sully at McDonald's Aina Haina Blessing
If you've driven through East Oahu in the last few months and noticed that there were suddenly two McDonald's next door to each other at Aina Haina Shopping Center, you might have wondered what was going on.
Well, it has been 42 years since our very own founder, Maurice J. "Sully" Sullivan, opened the doors to the first McDonald's franchise in Hawaii at its current Aina Haina location. The new McDonald's will replace the existing one and serves as one of the latest updates to the recent beautification and renovation of Aina Haina Shopping Center, including Foodland Aina Haina's metamorphosis to Foodland Farms in February of 2010.
Last Tuesday evening, Sully was honored by the current owners of the Aina Haina McDonald's, Glenn and Colleen Waki, at the grand opening and Hawaiian blessing for the new restaurant. On his behalf, Maurice Sullivan's daughter, Kitty Sullivan Wo, wife Joanna Sullivan, and son-in-law Roger Wall, were honored at the event.
As we remember Sully's legacy as a pioneering entrepreneur and humanitarian, we are excited to see both new facilities, McDonald's and Foodland Farms, thrive and serve for generations to come. We're also looking forward to this Friday, May 6th, which marks our 63rd Anniversary as Hawaii's largest, locally owned, and operated grocery retailer. We invite you to shop at your local Foodland this week and check back on our website for special offers to come, celebrating our 63 years of serving Hawaii!

That is about the best advice that I can give you, treat every single piece of data that comes from the outside world as malicious input, if you can validate against expected values or patterns, do just that, and discard anything that you aren't expecting.
Once an user is logged in, do not trust them, at all, be very careful with privilege escalation.
Use prepared statements for every single data that interacts with the database if this data leaves your control even for one operation, it doesn't matter if it comes from direct input, from a session variable, from a cookie, you check the data and use prepared statements ALWAYS.
Keep your software updated, if you need this to be secure, you can't just make one installation and feel good, you will have to be prepared to constantly update the software in the server, and there will be no end to this as long as you want a secure platform.
Protect the passwords in the database in case they are stolen, a hash+salt per password is an option to do this.
Security is not about preventing a hack, it is about reducing the chances that a hack occurs. If you have valuable information, you will get experience attacks, and you have very valuable information, you will eventually get hacked, you have to find every single hole in the software, the attacker only needs to find one.

United States Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan announced today, November 18, 2005, that Michael D. Altman, a resident of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty in federal court to a charge of bank fraud. Altman, age 42, of 355 Frazier Drive, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, pled guilty to one count before United States District Judge Gary L. Lancaster.
In connection with the guilty plea, Assistant United States Attorney Dennis P. Kissane advised the court that Altman, while employed as a loan officer at America's Mortgage Outlet, Inc., Monroeville, Pennsylvania, participated with others in the submission of false and fraudulent mortgage loan applications and supporting documents to Flagstar Bank, a federally insured financial institution. Altman acknowledged that between August 16, 2002 and February 28, 2003, he, with the assistance of others at America's Mortgage Outlet, submitted applications for nine mortgage loans to Flagstar Bank which were funded by the bank, causing the bank to extend loans to borrowers who would not otherwise have qualified for the loans.
Judge Lancaster scheduled sentencing for February 17, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. The law provides for a total sentence of thirty years in prison, a fine of $1,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed is based upon the seriousness of the offense and the criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Pending sentencing, the court continued Altman on bond. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pittsburgh Office, conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Altman.

Ive been away several years, but in finding this wonderful, strange, bewildering story it feels like I havent been away at all. I love it now as I did before. Theres a spirit here, rebellious and roving and riotous, a sense of thumbing the nose at convention, of shunning pretention, so that one lives at the very furthest outskirts of society proper.

The Day He Almost Died
by **DELETED ACCOUNT** on 06/30/2013
A pleasant diversion. Good coffee break reading material.
No problems with style/punctuation/grammar. Would do a little work on the formatting, though.
If there was a theme in the story it was to point out the insecurity/uncertainty of youth. It was nicely done without the ham-fisted, wordy prose of some authors.
I liked the recurrent use of "The Day...", even though at...

When Evil Came To Greenpoint
by **DELETED ACCOUNT** on 02/01/2013
As a city resident I recognise the authentic feel of this story. New York is as much a character as any of the people. I only know New York from fiction from previous generations so I do not know if this is what contemporary New York feels like but it reads real. The concept risks being too hackneyed but is handled well and it makes for a gripping story. The characters are...

by **DELETED ACCOUNT** on 02/08/2013
This tragic tale is set inside the head of a man destroyed by guilt. It is a place that only a writer can go and it takes a strong imaginative writer to make it convincing. It is pulled off well and the grief and guilt of the father is touchingly portrayed. Flash backs I found jarring but I think that was a good thing. The change in font and narration style take you away from...

Hey there, Jrnyman2!
Concept: I thought that the concept for your story was very good. Pitting moral philosophies against each other is always a topic that can draw the reader in and cause them to put themselves inside of the characters' shoes.

Conspiracy (1st Draft?)
by **DELETED ACCOUNT** on 06/14/2012
Jake M.'s very short story "Conspiracy" concerns a man caught in a set-up; everyone is involved, from his wife to the fake cops who eventually murder him. That the story needs proofreading is far less annoying than the fact that the "conspiracy" is so overly dramatic as to render it unbelievable. One of the crimes would have been sufficient to put the protagonist away, yet...

by williamf129 on 09/02/2014
This is not a short story. Unlike a novel, which can twist here and there, the short story is a straight line. There is too much going on here, so much so that it is pointless to critique it as a story. Nonetheless, here is a list of some of its shortcomings:the sentences, which are the bedrock of language, clearly demonstrate a lack of understanding of the structure and several...

I am not sure what to say about this one because the main character did not seem to have any real personality or any redeeming qualities.

This is a fun story in which a guy resorts to murder in order to secure the girl of his dreams. The strongest part of the story for me was within the Silver Link pub. That scene buzzed with life. I would have liked more of the story to have been set in there. I could really 'see' and hear this place, whereas all the other locations didn't appear to me as well.

Has anyone seen his latest movie--The Departed?
I didn't realize he was even still alive-- not to mention how young he looks! Must be one of those scientist things--sure do wish he'd share whatever it is that keeps him looking so good. Anyway, I just can't get over how talented he is. One minute he's painting a masterpiece, then the next thing you know he's designing the first model helicopter--and then BAM--he'w making movies with Scorsese. Where does he find the time? MichaelAT |
Follow-Up Postings:
His time machine. Probably goes back and forth, kinda like Quantum Leap... |
Well of course he has time. Someone pays his bills, cleans his house(s), washes his car(s), and so on. He doesn't need to drop everything and go to the grocery store. I thought The Departed was a great movie. I dislike violent ones, but it was very well done, entrancing. I just shut my eyes at the bad parts. |

I have two: Take a GUIDED tour of New Orleans cemetaries, especially where Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau, is buried. She is buried in St. Louis Cemetery # 1. Lots to learn about the cemetaries. And a guided tour of the plantations outside of New Orleans. I toured one restored and one not. |

The Court of the Two Sisters restaurant for Sunday brunch. Bring your appetite. Of couse, do go to Cafe du Monde and have some coffee or cocoa with their powder sugar laden square donuts. |
And be sure you have a muffeleta, at the bar across the street on the corner from Cafe du Monde! Think it is where the muffeleta originated, if I have the right place in mind. Or ask someone for that particular place, someone will know. And ride the trolly down Canal Street. |

Go to Mulate's great food and be sure to go in the evening when the live Cajun band plays, the whole family goes and every one dances. You get a good immersion of the culture. It is hard to find any of the true down home places it has become so commercial. Mothers for breakfast, also cafe du monde original for coffee and beignet http://www.mothersrestaurant.net/ Check Chucks website he has great recommendations. http://gumbopages.com/ |

Warning: Only have 1 Hurricane!! (the drink) I speak from experience. |
I was in new Orleans many years ago on business for my employer, and I haven't been back since, but I'll relay what little I know about the place. Our business was with a shipyard and we stayed at a motel just off the French Quarter. About the statuary: There are several statues of Civil War Heros. My host was quick to point out that the rear end of the horses pointed north. He did not know if this had a significance or not, but thought it was a humorous observation. During WW2, chickory was used as a coffee substitute and many of locals came to prefer it to coffee. (Chickory has a bitter flavor compared to coffee.) After the war, consumption of chickory continued. So if you should enter an business office and see two coffee pots on the table, beware that one may be chickory. Ask before you get surprised. There are some who delight in seeing a northern novice take a sip of chickory thinking it is coffee. Mock turtle soup: As the name implies, there is no turtle in it; Authenic mock turtle soup is made with rats. During the war of 1812, New Orleans lay under seige. Food became scarce especially meats. The chefs cold not get turtles, but noted a plentitude of rats in the alleys. They captured rats and used then in place of turtles, hence the name, "mock turtle soup". But while there, do partake of local dishes. These are wonderful. Crab meat dishes may be heavy with crab oil. If your system is not accustomed to this fare, go easy on the amount you comsume or you may become sick at the table. Walk the French Quarter and pop in at one of the many hotel lobbies/resturant for a bite to eat. Bourbon street has a lively night life. You can get a feel for it without entering any of the dives. They let your see enough to entice you to enter. If you stomach is brave and made of cast iron, eat raw oysters from a street vendor. The standard sauce is 50% ketcup and 50% mustard. Live oysters are kept on ice and shucked out in your view. TIP: The oyster should be alive when shelled out. A meat of a good oyster has a dark spot near its center that fades soon after opening. Refuse the oyster if the dark spot is missing. There is a district in the central city where ante bellum houses have been kept historically correct. These wonderful buildings provide photo ops. As the poster above recommended, do learn about the burial practices in cemeteries. The water table is at ground level which affects burials. The above ground crypts have 'pull boards'. Ask what these are for. |

A few other places from Chuck's page that I also recommend. Mid-City Lanes Rock 'n Bowl, 4133 S. Carrollton at Tulane. Tipitina's, 501 Napoleon at Tchoupitoulas, 895-8477. The original Muffa shop! I must have my Muffa! I already mentioned Mothers but here is more about it and the one not to miss Some of my dear friends were taking a trip down South and asked me this same question and I said top of the list Mulate's and go at night when a band is playing. They came back and told me that was the hilight of their trip! They were so amazed to see from little children to very old folks up and dancing to the great music. You leave with a smile and dancing feet. For a more real experience get off the commercial path and down into some of the smaller towns that is where the best food is. |
Helpful New York Times travel article, 36 Hours in New Orleans. Copy and paste this link: travel.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/travel/36-hours-new-orleans.html Should keep you busy.... |
I was there for a short trip a few years ago. Had the opportunity to have brunch at Brennans in the French Quarter. A wonderful meal ($$$$), but enjoyed immensely. I had milk punch, turtle soup, shrimp sardou and banannas foster. Once in a lifetime... You must make a reservation! |

Bring your appetite. If you arrive in the afternoon or evening, try and oyster bar for dinner - both Acme or Felix's on Iberville are good. Get up early and walk the quarter on your way to Cafe du monde. Try a Poboy for lunch - Johnny's on Saint Louis is great - but maybe only have a half. You will want to save room for dinner - Maybe NOLA (I was there years ago and it was great) or Mr. B's Bistro. Check out trip advisor for some thought ful reviews. |
I'll be interested to hear about your trip. I always wanted to go the NOLA and we may just do that sometime this year. |
New Orleans is a wonderful city; when I go I insist on staying in the French Quarter even though there are lower priced hotels on Canal St.(which is technically on the border of the French Quarter) or the Central Business District - the neighborhood doesn't have the same "feel" as the French Quarter. To make it more confusing most of the places I'd want to stay in the French Quarter are not chain hotels. When I go I look at the maps on Expedia to make sure that hotel is located in the area where I want to stay. Beware Rampart Street. They will advertise themselves as being in the French Quarter (they are the northern border of the Quarter) but that is the "diciest" area and I would never, ever consider a stay there. I have walked the street in the daytime but would not walk it at night. However, the rest of the French Quarter is well lit, busy and relatively safe if you use your common sense. The last hotel we stayed at is the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, right on the corner of Bourbon and Orleans. Great location. We loved being able to walk out of the hotel and just wander to our hearts content. Besides walking up and down every street in the Quarter (I'm a photographer at heart!) we loved going to the Garden District and for a ride on the St. Charles Streetcar. St. Charles St. is full of beautiful mansions, built by the Americans who came to New Orleans after the Louisiana Purchase. You can easily cross Canal Street at Bourbon and walk one block (Bourbon becomes Carondolet) which is where you catch the streetcar. You'll stop at the Kiosk on Canal first and purchase your pass for a few dollars. The streetcar is packed full on weekends so if you can do it, please try for a weekday. You really need to post lots of questions on the Tripadvisor forums. People there will be eager to help you answer specific questions. I always post a lot before taking a trip so I can get the most of what time I have to spend. Another thing I want to mention is that if you do stay in the Quarter one of my favorite money saving tips is to rent a car only on the last day. You can easily walk to car rental agencies from the French Quarter (last time we used Dollar). We walk to the car rental place (got ours for $62 including tax) then drove to the hotel to check out. Put our suitcases in the trunk then had the car for the whole day to explore. When it came time to head to the airport we used our GPS (airport is only about 20 miles from the Quarter) and it saved us a 30 dollar cab fare plus tip. That way we can explore the things we want to out of the Quarter as long as we have an evening flight home. We like to drive out to Deenies for some great seafood for our last meal. Hope this wasn't too long; I love New Orleans and hope you have a WONDERFUL time! |

It might appear as though the Beam 11 Bookshelf is made from a segment of stiff metal, especially since you're observing it under the pressure of a person's weight. Surprisingly, this robustness has been achieved with mere paper, a material that deserves much more credit in construction than it often receives.
Many many folds by designer Victor Johansson give the panel its incredible rigidity to the degree that will remain unbending beneath the mass of a some significantly large items like "someone's girlfriend," as the creator suggests. Iron braces connect near the ends of the little ledge to enable its secure fastening against the wall.
Available in turquoise, fuchsia and grey, the Beam 11 Bookshelf is a wonderfully playful pocket-bookshelf to simply provide additional storage without bringing a weightiness to the wall.

You need to set aside two days to make the croissant dough, and the croissants. The croissants were very tasty, but were black on the bottom. I wonder if it is because I used waxed paper instead of parchment? I will try this recipe again, only so I can perfect it!
I liked the resultant size of these, and the texture given the baking instructions was just the best I've ever made. I've tried two other recipes, but the high heat and steam at the beginning seems to really set these apart. Crisp on the outside, tender and yeasty on the inside, they turned out beautifully. Since I'm at high altitude, I found that letting the last proof stop at the 2 hour mark and upping all the temps by 25 degrees gave what seemed to be equivalent results.

I'm not the only one that thinks Riot's skin prices are excessively expensive. I think the "skins" idea is a fabulous idea. Yet, Corporate Mundo is almost $20? All the new skins are at about 975 RP. That's such a rip off. This isn't a QQ post, but rather a helpful solution (at least I think it is). The league of legends community is full of nerds, well let me clarify, ARTISTIC NERDS. I'm sure about 1/4 of the league of legends community could design the **** out of skins. I know it takes time to implement and create new idea for skins (at least profitable ones, unlike the excessive amount of Teemo skins). I don't think it really takes much to create a skin for a character. I mean the hard part is the design (hint: where LoL community comes in). The matter of putting the skin in game is just a matter of implementing a code and some patches. By lower the skin prices by a drastic amount but having a huge supply of skins will make eager players buy more skins. Let's say for the sake of argument that one skin costs about $3 dollars. Hey that's like a ****ing pizza! No big deal to be honest! Look at McDonalds. They make more money that most restaurant franchises because they're food is cheap and abundant (not to mention fast and delicious, and cancerous <33!). There are so many ideas for skins that could be implemented. I would be willing to spend my money if I could buy a lot of skins. I mean, the work output for creating skins is disproportional to the price. An abundant amount of skins will make consumers more likely to buy skins. In the long run, I think Riot's overpriced skins will bite them in the butt. It's not how much money you can get from the people, it's how much people you can get to buy a product. I don't see why Riot shouldn't implement this. Getting free resources from the community, while gaining more profit in the long run. Please consider this idea Riot! (I'm expecting a lot of downvotes.)

Patrick-Murray Administration Announces $3M Grant To Spur Economic Growth In Springfield
Funding to Renovate Former Courthouse Revitalization in Springfield's Downtown Corridor
"Growth Districts are hubs for planned areas of economic growth and housing development across the Commonwealth," said Governor Patrick. "By identifying these districts and focusing our collective resources on making each one development ready now, we are creating the conditions for business growth and community vitalization for years to come."
"This is a great example of the city and state working together to promote economic development," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy P. Murray. "The courthouse renovation is a great project with significant potential for the community."
The Growth District grant will enable the redesign and reconstruction of the public outdoor plaza and indoor atrium, which currently have little to no public use. Over the next two years, the redesign will result in enhancing the appearance, safety and functionality for public use of the existing plaza, with changes such as removing the existing jersey barriers, improving the appearance, safety and use of the plaza, new landscaping, lighting and seating. MassDevelopment, a statewide finance and real estate development agency, will oversee the infrastructure work.
"Today's announcement strengthens our tax base, will keep jobs and employees in downtown Springfield and bring renewed vibrancy to Main Street. The redevelopment and reuse of the federal building represents the rebirth of a workplace that will now be a tremendous asset to the central business district. The $3 million grant for infrastructure improvement is another example of Governor Patrick and Lieutenant Governor Murray's dedication and commitment to our community," said Congressman Richard E. Neal.
The GDI creates the vehicle by which the Patrick-Murray Administration will partner with municipalities that have identified one or more areas for significant commercial, residential or mixed-use growth. Through the recent transportation bond bill, a $50 million grant program was created to provide for commercial and residential transportation and infrastructure development, improvements and capital investment projects in identified Growth Districts. Today's $3 million grant to Springfield is the fourth such grant award made since the funding was made available.
"I'd like to thank Governor Patrick, Lieutenant Governor Murray and Secretary Bialecki for their ongoing commitment to the city of Springfield," said Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. "Today's announcement is another piece of the puzzle in helping to rejuvenate our downtown corridor."
"As tenants in the building adjacent to the former courthouse, we are please to know that the building will be utilized to promote economic development for the downtown Springfield area," said Senator Stephen J. Buoniconti
"This investment is key to unlocking long term job and economic development opportunities for the City of Springfield," said Representative Cheryl Coakley-Rivera. "I look forward to continuing to work with the city, the state, my fellow legislators, and all of our partners in making this project a reality."
By identifying designated Growth Districts, the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED) will focus resources to ensure that each district is truly "development ready." The initiative offers a focused approach to work with each community ensuring that all required permits are secured, site preparation is completed, infrastructure improvements are identified and marketing resources are made available. Each district will be put on a fast track for groundbreaking.
"Keeping the lights on in this building is key to realizing Springfield's redevelopment goals for Main Street," said Robert L. Culver, MassDevelopment president/CEO. "MassDevelopment looks forward to continuing its work with the Administration, Legislature and Springfield officials to restore the City's economic base."
"We care deeply about the city of Springfield and our commitment as a tenant in the Federal Building is linked to our charitable mission - focused on improving the health of the people in our communities - and this includes the economic health of our communities," said Mark R. Tolosky, President and CEO of Baystate Health.
Investments in public infrastructure are critical components of the Massachusetts Recovery Plan, which combines state, federal and, where possible, private efforts to provide immediate and long-term relief and position the Commonwealth for recovery in the following ways:
- Deliver immediate relief by investing in the road, bridge and rail projects that put people to work today and providing safety net services that sustain people who are especially vulnerable during an economic crisis;
- Build a better tomorrow through education and infrastructure investments that strengthen our economic competitiveness, prepare workers for the jobs of the future and support clean energy, broadband and technology projects that cut costs while growing the economy; and
- Reform state government by eliminating the pension and ethics loopholes that discredit the work of government and revitalize the transportation networks that have suffered from decades of neglect and inaction.

The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development is one of eight Secretariats that make up the Governor's Cabinet. Under the leadership of Secretary Gregory Bialecki, the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development oversees the following undersecretariats: the Departments of Business Development, Housing and Community Development, and Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

Brensinger wins 2013 Clinton Sheerr Award for Excellence
Brensinger joined Lavallee Brensinger Architects in 1978 and became a partner in 1980.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…" I understand where she was going with that technique. It is called Socratic Irony. Although I devoutly believe in the "Separation of Church and State" within the context of any legislative imposition because neither God nor country are well served in those instances. De Facto official separation is quite different from the "there will never be an official religion" intented by the writers.
I would also suggest that if every religion can be described in the more secular terms as "organized belief systems" then Atheism is a member in good standing within this group. That said, by court decisions, I would say that we have violated the very intent of the first ammendment by establishment of Atheism as our official belief system (religion). After all, whose belief system has been sucessfully established and whose belief systems have been crushed?
Perhaps I am stretching a bit but that's where I "believe" she was going.

Round River Farms
happy repeat customer
By: South Carolina Mom (Jul 23, 2010)
This is our second year to participate in the Round River Farms CSA program. Each week, I love getting my share because everything is so fresh, and it's always a surprise as to what new item will pop up. This week I received edamame, 4 varieties of tomatoes, 3 varieties of peppers, rainbow chard, cucumber, basil and thyme- and I know I'm forgetting some other things. And next week, I'll have a totally different basket. The variety of items received is just one reason we love this CSA.
Sometimes there will be an abundance of items from one week to the next, which I don't mind because it gives me the opportunity to be creative in the kitchen and prepare foods that can be frozen for later enjoyment. Basil Pesto in the dead of winter anyone???? Yes please!
The folks who run RRF and distribute the food are kind and take pride in producing quality, organic produce for their community. If I have one criticism, it would be that the food is so fresh and ripe that it needs to be eaten pretty soon after receiving. But wait, maybe that's not a criticism after all.
Last year we continued to receive produce well past the estimated close day, which was such a bonus.
We highly recommend Round River Farms CSA.
