Can someone help me with a backsplash?? like, how???LOL!! I want to make my kitchen look awesome and would like a backsplash..something tile in neutrals but I have not idea how to go about this and what I can use in my doublewide. I have a 2005 Clayton home
I've heard tiling can be tricky in a MH due to the shifting, flexing walls & floors cracking the grout. Perhaps someone else will chime in with experience, though. Were you planning to install the tile yourself?
I'm painting cabinets & getting new countertops first (can't stand the purple anymore), but then I'm putting up painted beadboard as a backsplash.
I ran across a blog by a couple who were painting backsplashes to look like tile. They had lots of pics of ones they'd done. I don't remember what it was called though. I think I was doing a Google search when I saw it. I'll see if I can find it again.I've painted my countertops already, cabinets are on the to-do list.
Somewhere I saw pictures of sheet laminate or vinyl tiles used as a backsplash, too. Depends on what look you like. I had planned to paint my kitchen countertops, but decided there were too many chips and separating seams to make it worth it. I might still try it in the bathroom, though.
I think either a tile or a beadboard would be something I would like and could do...my hubby is a skeptic though so I am going to need pictures and explanations how to make this work. LOL
I think this weekend I am going to get some gel stain to do the cabinets first....baby steps ;)
LOL I know where you're coming from! My DH wouldn't admit any changes needed to happen to our place until after I painted the bathroom walls & cabinets, the living room/kitchen ceiling, and started in on the kitchen cabinets. He finally agreed to let me have someone texture the walls (there's a limit to how much DIY our marriage can handle ;), and now he's going along with the countertop and even suggested we should look into flooring. I think men may need to see actual progress rather than try to visualize it.
Good luck with the gel staining! I hope you'll share progress reports. :)
Here are a few links you might find useful for the backsplash. I know I've seen similar panels at Home Depot that look like square tiles, too.

This Old House How to Install a Solid-Surface Backsplash (aka Beadboard Panel)
@Jessica!! gosh we must have married BROTHERS!!! I purchased the gel stain tonight have have intentions to start tomorrow night while he is at a tractor pull!! SHHHH...don't tell!!
thanks for the links!!
and Yes..I will keep updating the pictures as I make progress.
While at lowe's purchasing the gel stain, we talked about and looked at beadboard and backsplash ideas!!! YEAH!!!
Kelli, were you able to start gel staining? How goes it?
I recalled a discussion on the kitchen forum a while back where chocolatebunny attached self-stick stainless steel tiles to create a more interesting backsplash.
I found a site with a big range of self-stick tiles that might be worth looking into. $20 for a box that covers 2 square feet, so it might depend on how big your backsplash is. Perhaps they're cheaper elsewhere. Or, what about those pressed-tin-look tiles or stainless subway tiles from Home Depot? No idea what those cost.
Here is a link that might be useful: Instant Wall Tiles
Kelli I haven't run across the blog I mentioned yet, I did want to say there is a paintable wallpaper that looks like beadboard. I don't know how well it would hold up to cleaning. Also, at Lowes there is a plastic type sheet that looks like tin, comes in different designs & colors. I saw it in the cabinet section.
I recently covered my backsplash with the vinyl peel and stick tiles. I did use Liquid Nails to help it hold better. I've had a couple pull up a little. In retrospect, I wish I'd just used beadbord or picked another tile. The stuff I used on my bathroom and laundry floor looks much more realistic and has faux grout lines. However, it was only available in 18x18 squares, and that wouldn't have worked very well on the backsplash.
I recently redid my kitchen. I wanted a really simple backsplash. I bought 3 1/2 inch baseboard trim and cut it to fit, glued it on and painted it to match my countertops.Looks pretty good if I do say so myself.
I tried the gel stain and it did not work out well....just not big enough of a change :( I don't know...I am thinking about painting now LOL
As far as the backsplash I think I am going to go beadboard..the link posted above shows how to do it and we won't have to worry about flexing and what not
Any other great ideas i need to try?? :)
I am new here too. I used white pegboard for backsplash in my kitchen, behind the stove. I painted over it with polyurethene so I could wipe it when soiled. I used the different types of pegboard hooks to hang my potholders, etc. It turned out OK - - gives the kitchen a country style look. My husband didn't want me to paint over the vinyl walls. He said it would bleed through and look worse. I will try to post some pictures.
I purchased ceramic mosaic tiles to install on our bathroom wall, above the sinks. Turns out the man we hired to install them, refused to do it. He said the grout and/or tiles will eventually crack. So I returned the ceramic tiles and purchased Smart Tiles. They are peel and stick tiles, and look very nice. They withstand the moisture and can be cleaned.
I have a 91 DW on a basement and we did a 1x1 mesh tile backsplash about 6 to 8 months ago and no problems so far.
Have tile in both the front and rear door foyers and no problems. I did the gel stain on my kitchen cabinets and new hardware and it really improved the look. But it depends on what you have to start with and what you use also. I was going for a cherry look and I like the result.

Connecticut Attorney General - and Senate candidate - Richard Blumenthal is asking senators to reject the nomination of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. WNPR's John Dankosky reports.
The Senate vote to re-nominate Bernanke, once thought to be a slam-dunk, is now in question, with several Senators, including Democrats Russ Feingold and Barbara Boxer, planning to vote against him.
Blumenthal told WNPR's Where We Live that he's asking senators to vote against Bernanke "somewhat regretfully" because of what he calls the chairman's "economic expertise."
"I give him credit for many good decisions, but I think that his current tack needs to be changed. And that we need to send a message to our nation that we're done with the kind of laxity toward Wall Street that has been tolerated for much too long."
"I have immense respect for Chairman Bernanke, but my my feeling is that we need some new leadership at the federal reserve."
Blumenthal also said that his action isn't about blaming anyone for the financial implosion, but is instead a step forward in regulating the financial services industry, reigning in credit card abuses, and cracking down on big bonuses given out by the banks.
He added: "We need someone in the federal reserve who shares the kind of outrage that I think American people feel about the way things are going in this country."
For WNPR, I'm John Dankosky.

Can Bariatric Surgery Be A Cure For Type 2 Diabetes In Obese Patients?
In recent years, there have been numerous studies that demonstrate the link between obesity and type 2 diabetes. Several studies have demonstrated that modest weight loss in at-risk patients with impaired glucose tolerance reduces the incidence of new diabetes nearly 60 percent over four years.1
Furthermore, research has documented that weight loss improves metabolic control in these patients.2 Research also demonstrates that remission of diabetes is possible in those individuals who demonstrate sufficient reduction in body mass index (BMI).1 Clearly, weight loss is beneficial in obese patients with type 2 diabetes.
However, such necessary weight loss is difficult to achieve and is perhaps even more difficult to maintain. It is this challenge that has prompted clinicians to seek out alternative treatment options to promote weight loss in this challenging patient population. In this regard, bariatric surgery has shown significant promise.
A Closer Look At The Numbers On Diabetes And Comorbidities
There are nearly 24 million Americans living with diabetes, approximately 8 percent of the total population. Nearly 6 million of these individuals are undiagnosed.2,3 Current estimates suggest that by 2050, 48 million Americans will have type 2 diabetes.2
The incidence of type 2 diabetes in adolescents has increased 10 times over the last decade and now constitutes just less than one-third of new pediatric diabetes cases. In contrast, type 2 diabetes accounted for only 20 percent of all pediatric cases a decade ago.2 This is an epidemic of diabetes that we cannot ignore.
There have been numerous studies that demonstrate the link between diabetes and other medical comorbidities. Of those with diabetes, 60 percent of patients demonstrate one other serious health problem; 33 percent of patients demonstrate two other serious health problems; 10 percent have three other serious health problems, and 7 percent have four or more additional serious health problems.4
Diabetes is a leading cause of adult blindness, lower limb amputation, kidney disease, nerve damage and cardiovascular disease. Diabetes is particularly common among those patients who are morbidly obese and these patients commonly demonstrate a metabolic syndrome that includes type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and elevated triglyceride levels.
In addition, this epidemic of diabetes demonstrates significant economic consequences that should be of major concern to both healthcare providers and healthcare consumers.
The total annual cost of diabetes has been estimated at $174 billion and most experts agree that this value is an underestimate. Of this total, $116 billion constitutes direct medical costs, which are associated with hospital stays, medications and medical equipment. The remaining $58 billion are indirect costs, which include the expense of disability, premature mortality and work loss.4-7 Furthermore, experts suggest that obesity will cost the United States approximately $344 billion in medical related expenses by 2018. This would constitute approximately 21 percent of all healthcare spending.8
Clearly, the healthcare profession must make significant efforts to address this rising epidemic of diabetes and diabetes-related complications in order to reduce morbidity and mortality in patients living with diabetes, and help reduce the spiraling healthcare costs.
Weighing The Pros And Cons Of Bariatric Surgical Procedures
When considering bariatric surgical procedures, there are essentially two categories: gastric restrictive procedures and those procedures that introduce an element of malabsorption.

Has Kim been exercising…her use of photoshop? The star showed off her post-baby bod on Jan. 4 on Instagram with two mirror selfies. But were they manipulated? Two experts say yes.
Kim Kardashian, 33, showed off her slimmed figure on Instagram on Jan. 4 with best friend, Blac Chyna. A new RadarOnline report says that the photos looked altered. Photo expert Devon Talbert of Devon T Productions told Radar: "Based on what I've seen, I'd have to say these photos were manipulated." Do you think they are the real deal? Tell us what you think, HollywoodLifers! Has Kim tried to fake out her fans?
Did Kim Kardashian Photoshop Selfies With Blac Chyna? — The Expert Analysis
We know Kim has been dedicated to getting her body back since giving birth to her daughter, North West, so she could just be showing off her hard work. She captioned the front shot saying: "Getting right for the new year."
Photoshop expert Peeje T. tells Radar: "In the…Booty Pic, I have diagrammed with a red line how the door should look if it was a normal, straight-edged door. You can definitely see a gap at the same level as Kim's chest. This would be caused by using a tool to expand her breasts."
"In the second pic, which I'll call the Stomach Pic, you will notice the door curves out at Kim's midsection," Peeje T says, which would happen if she shrunk her waist.
What do you guys think? The door does look curved, so do you think she altered these pictures? Either way — Kim looks amazing!
Kim's Controversial Curves
Between the curved door, her wavy stomach, and the blurry floor — how did her features remain so clear? Kim captioned her "belfie" (butt selfie) with the praying hands emoji. What's Kim praying for? Her hot bod? Or that no one will find out about her photoshopping secret? Although she has not responded to the accusations — photoshop or no photoshop — we will take Kim's curves over the curved door any day!
Kim's rep tells HollywoodLife.com: "She did not photoshop."
Do you feel bad that Kim is being accused of using photoshop, HollywoodLifers? Or do you think she actually did it? Tell us your opinion!

Pics of her in Miami caught her unphotoshpped and now she is saying she noticed in pics she has gained some weight back, because she was caught! One pic shows her really heavy(the honest pics) and then pics of jer really skinny. She just lies about everything..Her face is entirely different and looks way too small for her frame. Why in the world would anyone want those disgustingly large boobs and butt…Kim you are not fooling us…My friend saw you in Miami this March at Versace mansion in person..yes, these photos are shpped..also look at her engagment, she was still very heavy, no way did she Ever lose 40lbs! Atkins must be paying her to mention them..Kim just isnt credible!

who's hating, this idiot puts herself in this position numerous times as she does on her famous laying on her back. I find it amusing how she attempts to falsely show her body and expect us to believe her, even funnier that there are still idiots in this world who believe her like yourself. You don't like the comments than tell the whore to go back in her cave

Its funny how people would go out of their way just to prove that someone "photoshopped" their body. If it was someone else, no one would have bothered. Leave the poor girl alone, she gets criticized for everything she does. Yes she puts herself out there but people take it to a whole nother level. If she's fat so what ? Maybe she's just insecure about her body like many other girls out there. Everyone expects her to be this gorgeous thin mother so that's what she's trying to portray ..
Just let her be

photoshop guy is being VERY kind-as someone who works constantly in photoshop it is obvious she pushed in her gut in HUGE-erased a fat roll on her back on the one and the other her waist and thighs have been "shrunk in" using a liquefy filter and those ab lines are painted in -all pretty sloppy work as well-so if the skankk is going to these lengths to post a photo of her to prove she is not fat-she just proved she was-sorry kim total epic fail-like how she is shoving her so-called friend out of the pic as much as possible-guess Chyna is there to be the gross one to try and make kim look better

Honestly I think it is hilarious anyone with half a brain can see the photo is doctored. The mirror is not curved get real. The image is different in the same image.
Only a moron would say this is not photoshopped. She is as fat as always, her pap shots and video all show her a good 50 pounds heavier. The Kanye shopping photos show her butt 3 times the size as it is here.
Kim is a brain damaged hobbit.

Any fans that are left who are NOT delusional, will soon be turning their backs. I'm still waiting for her to take that damn trip to Armenia that she promised to do back in 2008.

Antique Dealers
August 24, 2013
Antique Dealers: Dealing with Antiques
Antiques are basically old items which are collected for their value. Generally, antiques are defined by their age, which is usually at least a hundred years old. Items which are rare, as well as old, could also fit in well with the antiques category of items, as well as items which have certain collectible value to them, along with the item's given age.
Antique dealers are basically persons who deal with antiques, the selling, upraising, and even the procuring of these antique products. Normally, antiquing, the act of shopping for antiques, begins with visiting antique dealers, looking at the treasures they've managed to get, and seeing if any of them would pique one's interest. On certain occasions, the upraising services of antique dealers are called by antique-ers, asking antique dealers for their opinions regarding the pre or post purchase of an antique item.
As their professional title basically says it, antique dealers know antiques, over and under. Many antique dealers, the real deal antique dealers now, are part of associations, particularly national trade associations. The CINOA stands to be one of the most popular association many antique dealers associate themselves with. The CINOA is basically a confederation of antique associations and art associations, whose membership includes members from 19 countries, with over five thousand antique dealers within the organization's member roster.
Antique dealers stand to be the primary source for antiques to many.
Just as with almost any field today, antique dealers are known to "specialize" on particular antique items. For example, Antique dealer A has a keen eye for antique jewelry. Find an spanish pirate coins on this site. Antique dealer B has his sights on antique pocket watches. Should you, who happen to be on the lookout for antique pocket watches, want to have an antique pocket watch, going to antique dealer B would be the smart choice, but doesn't necessarily mean Antique Dealer A would have no idea about antique pocket watches. Bottom line, antique dealers have specializations, as well as armed with the knowhow regarding the stature of an item as an antique.
An antique dealer's skills in upraising antique items are often asked by those who come across antiques from need-verification-places. Purchasing antiques from events like garage sales and estate sales, are often followed by a visit to an antique dealer, asking his/her opinion regarding the antique value of the purchased item.
Antique dealers would be the safest source for antiques, as the items sold by antique dealers are verified to be true.
Bottom line, should you be interested in getting antiques, referring to antique dealers would be a good course of action.

Olympian has NW Kansas ties

E-Mail This Story
Special to the HDN
Rawlins County Olympic viewers watched their favorite U.S. skeleton racer flash down the track to a fourth-place finish in the first two runs Thursday and have hopes of seeing her on the medals podium tonight.
Katie Uhlaender, 29, who calls a farm near Atwood home, has been featured in national and international media coverage of the U.S. skeleton women's team and chose the helmet she wears, emblazoned with a large eagle, through a Twitter contest.
Uhlaender's times were 58.83 and 58.75, for a total of 1:57.58 - 0.69 of a second behind first-place racer Elizabeth Yarnold of Great Britain.
The final two runs will be today, with Uhlaender and the other skeleton competitors lying on their stomachs on stripped-down sleds and speeding at up to 85 miles an hour face-first down a curving, plunging, nearly milelong track of ice.
Working the farm
Uhlaender, who is currently ranked 15th in the world, began working the Rawlins County farm purchased by her father, Ted Uhlaender, a former outfielder for the Minnesota Twins, after his death in 2009.
She spends time at the farm mending fences and caring for cattle when she isn't busy training for skeleton competition or preparing to compete in weightlifting in the 2016 games.
Not only is she competing for the gold for the United States, she's bringing Rawlins County its 15 minutes of fame.
Uhlaender competes at a pace that is hard to fathom for many of her Rawlins County neighbors.
Proud neighbors
"It's bad enough driving a car at 85 miles per hour," said area farmer John Skolout.
However, they are excited to see her compete and will be happy to welcome her home afterward -- no matter how things turn out in Russia.
"We feel a connection to her because she's moved here, and she's making a life here," said Atwood area farmer Ken Higley. "She's a very nice gal, tough to the bone. She's the type of gal that if you give her a mission, she'll figure out how to do it."
Higley said Atwood and McDonald area residents are "very proud of the fact that we've got somebody from our county and our town competing at the Olympics."
"Everybody plans on watching her," he said. "It's pretty exciting for us."
Higley described Uhlaender as a "go-getter."
"There's no grass growing under her feet," he said.
Xavier Ramirez, of rural Atwood, was a longtime friend of Uhlaender's father. Before Uhlaender's family moved to Rawlins County, she and her brother lived with Ramirez for half a year while their mother was fighting cancer. He said she attended junior high in Bird City at that time.
"She was a Cheylin Cougar," he said.
Ramirez was looking forward to watching Uhlaender's performance and planned to rise early and search online for today's results.
"Of course I think she'll get the gold," he said. "She's very determined -- just like her dad was -- and she's really, really good."
Melinda Basnett, who knew Uhlaender's mother when her parents lived on the farm and has met Uhlaender, said Thursday afternoon that she had set her DVR to record Olympic coverage that night while she attended a McDonald City Council meeting.
"We're all rooting for her," she said. "Everybody here's excited for her -- we kind of have a claim on her. You don't get to say you know an Olympic athlete very often."

Watch 'Idol's' Scotty McCreery & Lauren Alaina Duet On 'The Today Show' [VIDEO]
Season 10 "American Idol" winner Scotty McCreery and runner-up Lauren Alaina stopped by "The Today Show" Thursday June 2 to perform their singles and a duet together for the morning show's summer concert series. The pair also revealed they'll be presenting an award at the CMT awards, talked how they remain grounded, and even what they'd do if they weren't singers!
The duo both agree they'll remain grounded because, as Lauren explains, "I think that it's our faith and God because if we are the same people that we were before this competition than we'll always be the same people." Lauren adds, "people think that we're different now, but we're not. We're small town people."
As for what occupation the small towners would take on if singing hadn't worked out? Scotty admits he'd be an "astronaut" and Lauren says she'd be a "pediatrician."
Take a look at the interviews for more from the two as well as their performances below!

IBD: The Real Cost Of ObamaCare
Read more at Investor's Business Daily…
The Real Cost Of ObamaCare
Health Reform: The linchpin of ObamaCare 2.0 is that 31 million uninsured will be covered at little added cost. But in fact, White House estimates for low costs are based on little more than accounting tricks.
The president's plan "puts our budget and economy on a more stable path by reducing the deficit by $100 billion over the next 10 years — and about $1 trillion over the second decade — by cutting government overspending and reining in waste, fraud and abuse," the White House says on its Web site.
Sound too good to be true? It is.
None of the numbers can be believed. The plan is a result of blatantly dishonest accounting for the real costs of the program, while grossly overstating its benefits. Americans should know the actual 10-year cost is closer to $2 trillion over 10 years, not the $950 billion claimed, when all the actual costs are toted up.
How can there be such a wide gap? Mainly because the president's plan doesn't provide benefits until the second half of the first decade. So it pretends that it will "only" cost $950 billion. But once the program kicks in, the full 10-year cost of benefits will be included — at a real current cost of $2 trillion or more.
Or, as columnist Charles Krauthammer, himself a trained physician, told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly: "It's a trick. The way the Democrats got under (the spending limit imposed by Obama) was by making 98% of the expenditures, the benefits that you and I would get under the bill, occur in the second half of the decade."
That's not all the numbers trickery. Take the plan's so-called "doctor fix." Under current law, physicians are slated for a 21% cut in Medicare fees this year. Those cuts, if enacted, would lead to many doctors leaving Medicare. A proposed "fix" will cost some $229 billion over 10 years. But that new cost won't be included as part of the health care bill. Only phony Medicare "cuts" will.
Then there's the promise to remove new taxes on so-called "Cadillac Care" health plans. Originally, Democrats wanted to exclude only their pet unions from these new taxes. But after a huge outcry, the exclusion has been extended to most taxpayers.
Now, only the rich will be hit with these grossly unfair levies. But the cost of excluding the others doesn't appear to be accounted for.
Even with all this, estimates say the Obama plan will jack up taxes by $629 billion over the decade. That includes tax hikes on the middle class — something candidate Obama vowed he'd never do.
Then there's the Nebraska reversal. To get the Cornhusker State to go along with ObamaCare, it was exempted from some new Medicare costs. That created an uproar among the other 49 states. So the new bill treats all the states the same. But again, it doesn't seem to account for the new cost run-up.
When you tote it all up, the real cost is in excess of $2 trillion. Not the $950 billion as claimed. And deficits will rise by $600 billion, not fall by $1 trillion.
It couldn't be worse, right? Wrong.
Former Office of Management and Budget official James Capretta, now a fellow at the Heritage Foundation, asserts the real 10-year costs of President Obama's bill are likely $2.5 trillion — "with the strong likelihood of far exceeding this amount."
Promised spending cuts, he argues, will never be made because they would put a number of institutions in financial trouble.
Meanwhile, huge subsidies offered to individuals and businesses to buy their insurance through government-run "exchanges" almost guarantee costs will soar far beyond expectations.
Under the Senate's bill, for instance, the subsidy for a family of four with a $60,000 income covered by an employer-based health plan would be $4,500 less in 2016 than for a similar family buying from the heavily subsidized government exchanges. By forcing all Americans to buy insurance, premiums will rise by at least 10%, and possibly higher.
This will decimate the private insurance market and create a de facto nationalized health care system — at much higher cost than today. Because of the dishonesty about costs, Obama's plan is a nonstarter. And Thursday's health care summit is little more than farce.

If all poker games were to suddenly evaporate from iOS devices and the App Store, the size of the store would probably shrink by ten percent, and the world's productivity would jump by a similar percentage. There is no sense in denying that these games are installed on our devices, but with the variety of niches catered to, there is pretty much a little bit of something for everyone. Hoping to snag the attention of the socially minded card nut, PlayScreen Poker 2 has recently showed its hand on the App Store. Is it an instant fold or more of a royal flush?
Poker is poker, is poker, is poker. Aside from a few minor wrinkles to the rules, pretty much every poker title is essentially the same. What helps these games find an audience is what they manage to do differently. PlayScreen Poker 2 is the standard Texas Hold'em fare, with an emphasis on social interactions. The developer's approach seems to be making the setup of matches between friends as simple as possible, from anywhere in the world. On this front there have been significant strides to streamline the matchmaking process, but it is far from substantial enough to stand out from the crowd.
As a free-to-play poker game, the simulation aspects of the title hold up quite nicely. Presentation of the sport (If ESPN covers it, it has to be a sport, right?) is on par with anything available on the market. This is where the problems arise, because quite frankly there is no reason to play this version of Texas Hold'em over any of the more prominent poker games in the marketplace. Inviting friends to play over Facebook, iMessage and email is a seamless process, but yet again, this is nothing that hasn't been done a million times before.
When there are thousands of far more visible and branded poker simulators out there, it is hard to recommend PlayScreen Poker 2. There are no fundamental flaws with the gameplay itself, it just doesn't bring anything else important to the table. If you are in the market for a new dealer to pull up to, take the game out for a spin. When the buy-in price is nothing, it never hurts to try something new.

just as a question, why is everything so sad here. tis good, but sad.
Tears of pain...
I thought my pain was over now.
I thought I could never hurt again....
I was wrong.
it looks bleak,
but there is a light at the end of this tunnel.
there is a chance to live the life,
that I always wanted to lead.
I just need one more chance.
I know I can't keep a lot of promises,
but there is one that I must keep.
one I must carry out.
the rest are just things I wish,
that I could do.
you know what it is I mean, love.
but right now,
I just to finish crying,
so the pain can seep out,
and be no more.
I want to do so much,
but I am only one man.
what limit do i have,
i do not know,
but if i could write for a living,
then my life would be set.
then i could pain no more,
but i have no means to help my dream.
only support... but that can't help,
as my support is battling allies now.
relatives fighting relatives,
a fued insues...
a cry at night knowing,
that my grandparents may never,
have a grandchild from me.
they'll die before that happens...
becuase i can't START a life.
i'm just sick of being on the losing team,
and sick of holding on to dying dreams.
my video game dream.... DEAD
it took 6 years to die.
But it did.
I can't write anymore,
and I can't keep this up.
I want to run away,
but I can't.
my life is here.
i'll forever be chained to this hell hole.

who never was.... (a tear is shed)

Ladies and Gentleman... this is my life. I mean every word.... The only good news is I am loved... but she lives so far away, and can't be here with me, where my life is for months and worse yet, years to come.... My only hope is that I can either take her back here, and seclude myself from my life... or find some way to move up there with her. It's so hard... I want to be there with her... but I have to have nearly $150 just to be able to travel by myself. I'm sorry, that I can't do more for you my love... this is the harsh reality of whom many think of as a "nice guy" or even a dream.... This is my harsh reality.

The tale Wojciech Szczesny's rise to prominence is one of intrigue, fulfilling potential and maybe most of all, fortune.
I'll get to the fortune part later but the very first thing that struck me about Szczesny was his unnerving self-confidence. Let's not forget he made his Premier League debut, as a 20 year old, against Man Utd at Old Trafford and a few weeks later made his UCL debut v Barcelona , never putting a foot wrong and remaining utterly unfazed by the occasion(s).
As I mentioned earlier, for all of his ability, Szczesny's career thus far, bares a serendipitous mark. He gained his initial breakthrough via injuries to Almunia & Fabianski, and on both occasions of him losing his title as Arsenal's first choice (2011-2012 & 2012-2013), he regained his place, not by merit but by injuries to Fabianski's shoulder and rib, respectively. Maybe it's the fortune he built up having fractured both of his forearms in a training ground gym incident in 2008.
In recent times, the reports linking Arsenal to a new goalkeeper have been never-ending; whether it be Casillas, Pepe Reina, Rene Adler, Begovic, even Brad Guzan. More realistically however, had it not been for Mark Hughes playing up in his clart, the then Fulham goalkeeper, Mark Schwarzer would have signed for Arsenal in 2010 and had it not been for Julio Cesar's wage demands, he'd currently have cannon on his chest rather than warming pine at QPR.
What if, ey? All their losses have been Wojciech's gain however. Most recently, on the back several assured performances, Szczesny seems to be following the trend of his Arsenal teammates, by having a vastly improved personal season as compared to yesteryear.
At time of writing, Szczesny has kept 5 clean sheets in his last 6 outings and Arsenal have the best defensive record in the league thus far. Maybe one of the biggest indications of Szczesny's form is that since the season has commenced, Arsenal haven't been linked with another goalkeeper.
Ceiling of potential is monumentally high and the mantle of best keeper in England, is there for the taking, it's down to him to take it. It's mightily easy to forget Szczensy is still only 23 years young; long live Wojciech.

Braxton Miller among trio of Buckeyes to run for over 100 yards in win
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Luke Fickell waited all day for a big turnover.
With just over 4 minutes left and the Buckeyes holding on to a tenuous seven-point lead against Indiana, it finally came.
Braxton Miller ran for two scores including a record 81-yarder and Travis Howard ended Indiana's last chance at tying it with an interception, leading Ohio State to a 34-20 victory on Saturday.
Not until Howard picked off Tre Roberson's pass over the middle at the Ohio State 28 with 4:07 left were the Buckeyes assured of the win.
So You're Saying There's a Chance?
Ohio State's 34-20 victory over Indiana keeps it in the running to win the Leaders Division of the Big Ten, according to Stats & Info. Blog
"That was the one thing that you keep staring at, looking out there: Man, we've got to get a turnover. We've got to get a turnover," said Fickell, the Buckeyes' interim head coach. "It wasn't until the very end of the game that we came up with it."
Indiana had driven from its own 28 and faced a second-and-1 when Howard made his big play.
"I locked eyes with the receiver and the quarterback," Howard said. "I was just, like, 'There's no way he's going to throw that pass.' I was able to run over there and make a great interception."
Roberson, who like Miller is a freshman, took the blame.
"I was trying to get it to (the medium receiver)," said Roberson, who rushed for 70 yards and completed 11 of 21 passes for 174 yards and a score. "But it was a bad ball by me. It was all my fault."
Moments later, Carlos Hyde added a clinching score on a 2-yard run and the Buckeyes (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten) had their third win in a row to remain in solid contention in the Leaders Division despite an 0-2 start in the conference and a season fraught with suspensions and the possibility of NCAA sanctions.
Three Buckeyes topped 100 yards rushing: Dan Herron with 141 yards on 14 carries, Hyde with 105 on 15 and Miller with 105 on 14. It was the first time Ohio State had three runners over 100 since Scottie Graham, Carlos Snow and Dante Lee did it in 1989 against Northwestern.
The Buckeyes totaled 346 rushing yards on 46 attempts.
It was another learning experience for the young Hoosiers (1-9, 0-6), who lost their seventh in a row.
"We didn't need to play perfect to beat those guys," coach Kevin Wilson said. "But we did need to play up to our potential."
After fighting to a 13-13 stalemate at the half, the teams traded scores.
Big Ten Blog
ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg and Brian Bennett write about all things Big Ten in the conference blog.
• Blog network: College Football Nation
The Buckeyes took leads of 20-13 and 27-20 in the third quarter, the first when Herron danced outside to cover the last 15 yards before edging inside the left pylon to make it 20-13. Miller helped the Buckeyes regain the lead when, on third and goal at the Indiana 20, he raced up the middle through a gaping hole on a draw and faked out the last defender, Mark Murphy, who never got a hand on him.
In between, Roberson had tossed a spot-on 34-yard scoring pass to Kofi Hughes to knot it at 20.
Down a touchdown at the start of the fourth quarter, the Hoosiers came right back but Mitch Ewald, who had converted two earlier attempts, was wide left on a 40-yard field goal try.
After forcing a punt, the interception killed Indiana's hopes of ending a string of 16 straight losses to the Buckeyes since 1988.
Ohio State once again had trouble passing the ball. Miller was 5 of 11 for 55 yards with an interception. He also lost a fumble.
Indiana grabbed a quick 10-0 lead, silencing a crowd of 105,195. Ewald kicked a 35-yard field goal on the Hoosiers' first possession. Three plays later, Miller was sacked by Bobby Richardson and he fumbled, with Jeff Thomas recovering for Indiana at the Ohio State 41. Stephen Houston then scored on a 5-yard run.
On the second play after the kickoff, Miller squeezed through a hole at the line and then outraced the secondary for an 81-yard touchdown -- the sixth-longest run ever at Ohio State and the longest ever by a Buckeyes quarterback.
The Buckeyes can still make the Big Ten title game if they win out and Penn State loses twice.
First, they had to survive a scare from the Hoosiers.
"We could have definitely (done) a better job coming out with better energy and better pace," Herron said. "We finished the game, you know. It's not how you start the game it's how you finish."

Bugs and Buttons is a fun and quirky universal app composed of a large selection of games to explore, each bright, colorful and educational.
I am impressed with how much content is available within this application, as English and French speakers have a total of 18 games to choose from, with a variety of other languages available as well.
I am happy to report that although one may consider these activities "mini-games," the quality of each is very high, with bright and bold color choices and include some very realistic looking bugs as well as some interesting, pretty buttons.
With so many games included, it is hard to touch upon each one, but topics such as letter sequencing, color sorting and pattern recognition are included, as well as traditional activities such as connect-the-dots, mazes, a matching game and a variation on three-card-monty.
Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination are also explored within these games, including everything from archery to apple picking, as well as bouncing buttons falling form a truck or bug catching – both with a tap as well as the more difficult pinch – great for increasing children's dexterity.
A few arcade-style games are included such as roach racing or a game where one tilts the device to steer butterflies to fly over hurdles.
The bugs included here are extremely realistic and may be off-putting for those truly afraid of creatures such as tarantulas or roaches, but I think all but the most sensitive of children will enjoy these games very much. The music included is also great and very different between games, including classical, jazzy music and even banjo playing.
I appreciate how most of these games do not include any sort of timer, and friendly narration is encouraging, also letting players know when mistakes are made so they can be corrected.
I did not like, however, the narration in the pinch-and-grab game, presumably that of the bug in question being picked up as the voice sounds like a Bevis or Butthead-kind of narrator, greatly taking me out of the relaxing mood the gentle music had put me in.
It is nice that each game has its own unique look, many times quite beautiful with natural surroundings, with a few noted exceptions that include dirty, distressed tiles found in factory or other industrial settings where one races roaches or sorts buttons – mini-games that not be favorites of some families as these unclean surroundings make the bugs found become vermin – not insects found in nature.
Stamps can be collected for a job well done, but it is also nice to be able to turn off the showing of scores and achievements if one chooses to, and I like that one can include visual instructions as well – good for young players when they enjoy these games by themselves.
I have a few favorite games of my own, especially collecting the colored fireflies, sorting by color, as the music included with this nighttime scene is relaxing with a little suspense thrown in in terms of the tone created by the included music.
Families will find Bugs and Buttons educational and engaging and simply a lot of fun, with a great amount of variety, making this app certainly worth checking out. I could imagine families appreciating if multiple players could collect stamps and high score information separately, just a thought for a future update.

Human progesterone receptors (PR) rapidly activate cytosolic signaling pathways, in addition to their classical function as ligand-activated transcription factors. Using ER+/PR-B+ T47D breast cancer cells, we probed the role of progestin-stimulated rapid PR signaling in the transcriptional regulation of target genes involved in breast cancer cell proliferation. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was rapidly activated after a 10-min treatment with R5020. Progestin induced EGFR-, c-Src-, and MAPK-dependent phosphorylation of PR-B on the MAPK consensus site, Ser345. Ser345-phosphorylated PR-B receptors strongly associated with specificity protein 1 (Sp1) transcription factors to regulate PR cell cycle (p21) and growth-promoting (EGFR) target genes whose promoters lack canonical progesterone response element sequences. Inhibitors of EGFR, c-Src, or MAPK activities blocked PR tethering to Sp1 and progestin-stimulated S-phase entry. Mutant PR-B receptors defective for c-Src binding (mPro) were not phosphorylated on Ser345 in response to progestin and failed to interact with Sp1. Hormone-induced complexes containing Sp1 and wild-type PR-B, but not S345A or mPro PR-B, were recruited to Sp1 sites within the endogenous p21 promoter. Progestin-induced S-phase entry was attenuated in T47D cells containing wild-type PR-B and treated with EGFR, c-Src, or MAPK kinase inhibitors or in T47D cells stably expressing mPro or mutant DNA-binding domain PR-B. In sum, rapid progestin-activated PR signaling leads to PR Ser345 phosphorylation and tethering to Sp1. These events are critical for progestin-stimulated regulation of Sp1 target genes and breast cancer cell proliferation. Our data demonstrate the therapeutic potential for PR-targeted breast cancer treatment by exploiting multiple nodes along the PR signaling pathway, including PR-B, EGFR, c-Src, MAPK, or Sp1.

QUICK BIO Down to the Bone is as much a musical concept as a band. Founder Stuart Wade was in a group called Think Twice, but dissatisfied with their pop direction, he took one of their tracks into the studio and stripped it down to its funkiest elements, "down to the bone" as he describes it. The remix became a hit on the British dance scene, leading Wade to form a group dedicated to creating the retro urban grooves he loves. Wade is unique in that he is not a trained musician. He creates songs by humming his ideas into a tape recorder, then bringing in a team of players to bring them to life. Those sounds are recreated live by two teams of touring musicians, one for European gigs and one for US shows. The unusual arrangement has worked well, resulting in 8 well-received albums and several compilations.

Alanya TipsTip on : Alanya - 4 years ago
Here is to all who like to feel like stars once i a while. La Porta! A brand new restaurant that is placed at the new pier just west of Alanya. The place is realy great and you can relax by the pool or even go to the jacuzzi to chill with people. There is plenty of things to say about La porta. We went there for the after beach party where you can pay 4 Lire for entry and then you get free towels sun chairs in white leather, that gives the place a certain style. There is live Dj and the bar is open all day. the after beach party is from 4 to 7 afternoon. when we arrived we saw a few stars actually sitting there enjoying the wather and music as well as a cold one, also we were told a huge private boat with a famous rapper visited. Food here is a tad expensive but then again, quality is really good and youre mouth turns 180 degrees when you taste the food. The chef is educated at one of the finest restaurants in Alanya and you can really taste it. Hope you will visit La Porta, here is the link http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=771026756#!/group.php?gid=126177107424442&ref=tsGood tip?

Beirut: UN agencies helping to care for the millions driven from their homes in Syria by two years of conflict warned on Tuesday that they face "impossible" choices as funding fails to meet soaring needs.
In Focus | Syria
UN agencies face 'impossible' choices on Syria aid
Lebanon has taken in more than 400,000 refugees since conflict started
"Agencies including UN and NGOs are forced into the impossible situation of having to prioritise equally compelling programmes," Lebanon representative for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Ninette Kelley said in a statement.
"At this level of funding, vital programmes to ensure food, clean water, schooling for children, health care and shelter for newly arrived refugees are simply impossible."
Neighbouring Lebanon has taken in more than 400,000 Syrian refugees since the conflict erupted in March 2011, equivalent to some 10 per cent of the country's population. More than 3,000 more refugees are registered each week.
An appeal for funding by aid organisations working with the refugees secured just a third of the money sought.
"In one month, and with the current funding, more than 400,000 Syrian refugees in Lebanon will no longer receive food assistance" said Etienne Labande of the World Food Programme.
"I am extremely concerned that without continued funding we will see increased tensions and further displacement in an already tense environment."
The UN children's fund warned that as well as housing and health care, the continued provision of schooling for the many children among the refugees was also at risk.
"The children affected by this crisis - making up more than half of the refugee population - are facing challenges that risk lasting, disastrous impact on their lives," UNICEF official Annamaria Laurini warned.
"If significant additional funding is not received soon, UNICEF will be unable to respond to exponentially growing needs of these most vulnerable victims of this human tragedy."
UNHCR regional aid coordinator Panos Moumtzis warned on Tuesday that aid operations for Syrian refugees were at "breaking point".
"We want to ring the alarm bell. We are at a breaking point," Moumtzis said in a statement released in Geneva.
In all, some 1.3 million people have now fled Syria and some 200,000 more are crossing into neighbouring countries each month.

I'm a student at the Art Institute of Atlanta. My major is Graphic Design. I had a student come up and asked if he can see some of my work because he is looking for someone (a graphic designer) to do two logos for him. I said sure. About a week later I sent him some of my work. He email be back saying what he need for the logos. Later he called and asked about his logos. Now, Many people (Graphic Designers) told me never do work for free, unless for charity. So I asked him what his budget was on the logos. He said that he needed me to do samples of the logos before anything was set. I said that I can't do that. I explained to him that I can't do the work because if you don't like it, I wasted my time. That's why I sent you samples of my work. Long story short....He basically told me that I was scared and I didn't even like my on work. He said it was the way of the business and he need the samples first. Then he was going to let me know the changes and then pay me. I haven't talked to him since....but I just wanted to know what do I do in a situation like that?

You are not wrong in your understanding of the situation. This is not how regular business is conducted. Your samples speak for you. Some one is purchasing your services based on your previous work, they are either comfortable with what they see or their not. This is a very typical way of attempting to get free visuals done. Do not fall into the trap of providing low res images either, they often take them to a printer and have them recreated at a fraction of what they should be paying you for the original design in the first place. Stand strong.

More About:
Be pushy if you want accurate moisture readings on your hay, says University of Kentucky agronomist Mike Collins.
Pushy, that is, as in pushing your tester into the hay in several places each time you check moisture.
"Probe several spots on a single bale or probe several bales so that you're testing from different areas of the windrow," Collins advises. "Moving around and taking several readings prevents one small dry area or wet spot from unduly influencing your results."
The agronomist says hand-held, probe-type moisture testers are more accurate than they used to be. But it's still important to practice correct probing techniques. To get a dependable moisture value, he recommends taking 10 readings and averaging them.
"Individual readings mean very little," says Collins. "If you have three to four readings within a bale, you may get numbers that easily differ by up to 10 moisture units."
His research has shown that it doesn't matter if you probe one bale 10 times or 10 bales once. You'll get roughly the same results because the variability within and between bales is almost identical. But he still recommends probing several bales in case your fields are more variable.
Moisture testers work best when there's close contact between the hay and the sensors, so always probe the densest areas of bales.
"If you have a looser bale and happen to put the probe into an air pocket inside that bale, you'll get an erroneously low estimate of the moisture because the sensors might not come into much direct contact with the hay," he says.
Most probe-type testers operate on the principle of electrical resistance, utilizing the relationship between the moisture content of the hay and its conductivity. This is possible because moisture is an effective conductor of electricity and hay acts as an effective insulator.
In general, mid-sized and large rectangular bales and round bales are denser than small bales, so it's easier to get accurate readings on them. To remedy potential problems with small bales, Collins recommends probing them while they're still in the baler.
"When the bale is in the slide, it's under pressure from the baler and will be very uniform and relatively tight. Stop the baler and take readings from the bales in the machine."
If you're probing round bales, it doesn't matter if you sample from round or flat surfaces, he says. However, fixed-chamber-type round balers tend to make bales with looser cores, so probe in the outer foot of those bales.
One final piece of advice: Follow the maintenance protocol included with your tester's operating instructions.
"It's important to remove the plant proteins and other residues that gradually accumulate on the probe because they can affect the contact between your crop and the probe," says Collins.
"I recommend some type of solvent, such as alcohol, and a soft cloth to remove them."
