The Banking Hall of Commerce Court North in Toronto, taken during the 2013 Doors Open festival. This location, like many featured during Doors Open, is not normally available to the general public, offering a rare glimpse inside some of Toronto's most historical and interesting places.
This is the renovated Lounge for Senior Officers at the Ontario Police College. We added the bar and curved wall to create an intimate space within a larger room while accomodating an enlarged dining room.
The modern building is devoid of art - just windows that reflect whatever is around and so lack any character - more or less like the modern age - where so many just do as the Romans do and lack their own character as well.

I don't bite...much
I'm always doing something fun. When it's warm outside I'm probably pounding out laps on the motocross track, riding jet skis, or driving around with the windows down and the music up. I listen mostly to metal and rock, but I can get down with anything from old school gangster rap to Beethoven. If the music makes you feel something, I'll probably dig it. I can literally fix anything... Cars, motorcycles, computers, appliances... I just have a good head for how all the little parts work together. I put myself through college working as a mechanic, and now I build iPhone apps with some of the coolest people I know. I've been lucky enough to work with my best friend for the last 5 years. In between making clients happy and building awesome software, there is a lot of ball busting and jackassery. I have my life together and I know what I want. I'm a nice guy, but I'm not into drama or emotional hysterics. I admire strength and confidence. I'm looking for a woman who is intelligent, attractive, and has her life together. Someone that shares my view of the world and has similar values. I love kids and I know I'd make a great dad, so being a father is definitely in my future, but I'm not in any rush. Like what you see? Send me a message already!

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Exotic Pets, Horses
I'm an animal lover, so any pet with an awesome attitude is ok with me, but dogs are a man's best friend.

Musical taste is on the heavy side. Favorite TV shows: House, LOST, Secret Life of the American Teenager ;-) Favorite food: California Screamin hot sauce, yes it's a food
Motocross is my number one past time, other than that I like to spend time with friends telling "that's what she said" jokes, reading, traveling, trying new things, and continuing my education.
I've recently been rereading a lot of stuff that I read a long time ago, Neverwhere & The Catcher in the Rye to name a few.

Very old discussions...
Babka NorCal 9bMay 1, 2011
Some of the recent postings are in response to questions asked 4-6 years ago!!! How about making a NEW subject line? Does anyone have something to say about what they are knitting/crocheting today, rather than asking for free patterns?
I'm crocheting blocks for an afghan. I had most of the hexagon blocks done for one but when I laid it out I REALLY didn't like the way the edges were. I could not find a 1/2 hex pattern to fill in the edges. Sooooooooooooooooo I started another one! I want it to be done by the 10th! No problem. Its called summer flower garden. It has a round center and then squared of like a granny. All different colors and edged with white. Much better!

Shopping Guides
How to Set Up an China Cabinet
China cabinets or china buffets are used by most people to elegantly display a china collection. For some people, however, buffets become a catch-all for all kinds of odds and ends, from that homemade mug your niece painted for you to a dried-up flower bouquet you got at a wedding and that is now slowly turning to dust. Organize your china cabinet and restore its rightful place as a fine piece of furniture that will also show off your china and crystal treasures.

Types of Drinking Glassware
Drinking glasses come in all shapes and sizes, from small tumblers designed to hold only a few ounces to large brandy snifters that hold 17.5 ounces. Each style of drinking glassware serves a specific purpose. Some are designed to direct the aroma of wine or brandy to the nose before drinking, while others are built for durability during high-spirited toasts. Drinking glasses are often classified by the presence or absence of a stem and the style of bowl. The shape of the glass, combined with the fluid capacity, enables each piece of glassware to fill a particular role when serving beverages.
Glassware Buying Guide
When you're setting the table, which glassware to use is often an afterthought, but the right glassware completes an elegant place setting and lets you properly enjoy your favorite drinks. Glassware comes in a huge variety that can be daunting. This buying guide explains your options in glassware so you can invest in the right glasses and barware for your kitchen.
How to Register for Dinnerware
Beautiful dinnerware can be a surprisingly large investment for newlyweds. Originally designed to help couples acquire a full set of fine china, wedding registries often now include both the formal dishes and one or two sets of casual dinnerware. However, registries are quite flexible, and you can choose just the dinnerware you want -- whether you need complete sets or a few pieces to expand what you already have. If you make a list of the pieces you want before you start shopping, you can shop quickly and concentrate on style.
FAQs about Certified Diamonds
Diamond jewelry is an investment, so it's important to make sure you get what you pay for. Certified diamonds are popular because you'll know that you're getting the best diamond in your price range. Several laboratories in the diamond jewelry industry are trusted sources in certified diamonds; each follows a number of set guidelines for certifying and rating diamonds.

International Shoe Sizing Buying Guide
If shoe sizes are listed using a system you aren't familiar with, it can be difficult to know how to buy shoes that will fit. Most of the shoes listed on Overstock.com are in U.S. sizes, which can make purchasing shoes online confusing if you are shopping internationally. This international shoe size conversion guide is here to give you an easy reference when you're shopping for shoes online. If it has been a while since you measured your feet, you'll want to do that first. Measure them late in the day, as they tend to be larger at this time. You should also wear the socks you plan to wear with your shoes. Have a friend trace your foot on a piece of paper, so you can stand up straight. Measure the tracing, finding the length of your foot in inches closest to the next 16th inch. Find the width of your foot, and then measure your other foot; use the measurements from the largest foot when referring to the shoe size conversion table. Remember that, even with the right shoe size, shoes from different manufacturers will fit differently. Be sure to read customer reviews to see if the shoes you are shopping for run true to size.
Bar Glasses Checklist
Before you purchase a generic bar glass set, you should know the many different shapes and sizes that bar glasses come in, plus the traditional uses for each kind. This type of knowledge will surely impress your friends and help make your gatherings truly special. Once you have collected the right glasses and barware in your home, you'll entertain your guests in style.
How to Clean Gold Pendants
Gold pendants go with everything. You can easily wear gold pendants on chains, ribbons and leather cords with jeans, dresses and suits. Gold jewelry also requires a substantial monetary investment, especially if you collect pendants with gemstone embellishments and designer details. If you wear your gold jewelry frequently, then you'll want to keep it looking its best with proper jewelry care. Keeping your pendants clean means always having something shiny to don. Get started with these tips on cleaning gold pendants.
Dinnerware Buying Guide
Your dinnerware is more than just a way to serve food; it complements the different meals you serve, expresses your style, and adds importance to your home dining experience. Whether you need formal place settings for a holiday dinner or you just want to choose plates for weeknight meals, this dinnerware buying guide explains your options, so you can find the dishes that suit your life.
FAQs about Diamonds
Diamonds have long been one of the most prized stones, but you may find choosing diamond jewelry a little confusing. This guide is here to help you shop for diamonds with confidence. These answers to frequently asked questions about diamond jewelry will help you buy the perfect piece of jewelry.
Coffee Maker Buying Guide
If you're one of the millions who takes their coffee seriously, a home coffee maker may be a good investment.

FAQs about Backpacks
The campground is a great place to spend time in nature, but when you are looking for solitude, you really need to go into the backcountry. Hiking into the backcountry requires a backpack to hold all your gear comfortably. A good hiking backpack should hold everything you need, fit comfortably and not cost so much that you can't afford to go on any trips to use it.
FAQs about Soccer Equipment
Purchasing the right soccer equipment is essential to a good game. While you can get started with just a goal and a soccer ball, some additional soccer equipment is a good idea. Buying clothing and shoes specifically made for soccer improves comfort, while safety gear prevents injuries.
Conflict-Free Diamonds Fact Sheet
Overstock™ actively supports the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme to help eliminate the sale of conflict diamonds. Overstock™ guarantees that only conflict-free diamonds are offered for sale on our site and that the stones have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict, in compliance with United Nations Resolutions.

Salty Kisses Mini Magnet Carrier Cards My order was exactly as I requested and I am very happy with it. Will be ordering my wedding invites as well.
Great invitation - beware of envelope size/stamps
Salty Kisses Square Invitations These invitations are gorgeous. The square envelope is a little too large for the invites and requires postage for a flat rate. The post office employee showed me how to fold the flap over to keep it within the size limit and to prevent having to use multiple stamps. Magnet Street has handled a few projects for me lately and they always create a fast and beautiful product. I highly recommend them.

Iwas very happy to walk out of my liquor store with some Blue Point Toxic Sludge and some Victory Hop Wallup. Hooray beer.
"Life's short. Drink a lot of beer." -Randolph McMalty
"I don't care too much for BMC" -Abraham Lincoln
Ok, honestly guys. Nothing wrong with someone pointing out some dishonest business practices of one company, contrasted with honest business practices of another. AB-Inbev are dishonest, period. Why support that kind of thing? They aren't an American company. Whats wrong with trying to support "made in the USA?" Support your local economy. I thought all that was a good thing. What are people defending here?
Even if their beer was great I would try to avoid it for the same reason I generally try to stick with local organic produce. Healthier, supports local, tastier, usually ends up supporting nicer folk. Its just a general truism. Not always of course, but generally.
I'm with revy on being turned around to BMC on a taste level. Also, respect the skill involved since i started brewing CAPs myslef. Sometimes i drink BMC like a lot of folk, great on a hot day. Never any off flavors (or much of any flavor really). Its just light crisp and thirst quenching. Good for what it is.
No reason to sign some pledge of allegiance here or anything, supporting this company and railing against that one. Just notice AB-Inbev is a bully that produces less than stellar beer. Probably better to support nicer people in your local economy.
For a thought provoking and informative read about the Busch family and their methods over the years try (Bitter Brew) by William Knodelseder. American psychopath, corrupt, crony, predatory capitalism at its worse...
I don't get it. Why not let people buy what they want to buy and be happy about consumers exercising their personal choice with their purchases? Who cares if someone favorably responds to advertizing that claims "cold" is a flavor? They purchase what they wanted to buy. It the same when people who only drink BMC complain about bitter beer, who are they to care, no one is forcing them to buy or drink it.
All this sounds familiar to the argument against Walmart, people complaining about what they do to small businesses. Guess what, if those in the local community wanted to shop at the local small shops instead of Walmart it would be Walmart going out of business. Why do the local shops go out of business, because the many decide to shop at Walmart instead of them. The problem is that a few have a problem with how the many will spend their dollars. Is it that the few think they are smarter than the many, that the many are not smart enough to know how to "properly" spend their money?
If someone does not want to buy or drink BMC because of taste, exercise your right to do so. To say that others are making wrong buying decisions because they are uninformed or misled is arrogant, you are upset that they do not agree with you. If you insult and go after someone doing their job, who is being polite, then you have no shred of class at all.
Why are we arguing about buying beer on here? Isn't this a homebrew forum? Who even does that anymore?
Buying beer. Pffaaw.

Grass-roots organisations have always played a central role in changing societies, often providing services in areas not covered yet by public policy and services. In Europe's quickly evolving economic, social and cultural landscape, the third sector is often at the forefront in social work and leading in initiatives to facilitate the integration of migrants, for instance.
Thanks to the experience built up, civil society organisations have a wealth of knowledge to share with policymakers and social services also in terms of policies for multilingualism. They can make a crucial contribution to encouraging both the public to embrace multilingualism, and decision makers to put in place effective frameworks in local and regional administrations, formal and non-formal education, public services.Poliglotti4.eu helps civil society organisations by:

Link may be broken hammer as I cannot get the image... But if I can get it I'm in for the challenge...
Edit: OK got the image dont know why I wasnt able to download it before.
In keeping with my "different" themes this battle will be about line art!!!
Basically, much like the render theme, I will give you an image and your job is to do the line art for it!!! I am taking the first 3 people who want to give this a try!
For your reference here is what line art is:

.___. i don't want to sound lame, but what's line art?
I dont think it should be color, as you mention this image has been vectored several times, so making it Line-art only at least would make it different.
PSDs, are you telling me you dont thrust me????? Lol...
I've seen most if not all your work (even in ML) but i do have trouble believing some of ao's members, mainly because i've never seen them do it.
It takes a lot of effort to do these, maybe 15-20hrs or so(lmao i still have like 3-4 unfinished psds from last year XD). I think if this is to ever pick-up , the winner should get like 1000creds and street cred. or something similarly of extraordinary of value since this take alot of dedication and passion.
Its hard to find people to do this, let alone get them to participate(like me:P)
It is just the lines...we don't have enough vector artist here yet...as far as the time...even if you did the full vector that is only about a 7-10 hour job given the size of this scan so the line trace should be much less than that...maybe 1-2 hours...if that...I mean the lines are simple and straight forward in that scan. I really wanted everyone to submit a line art of their own but I just don't trust that someone wouldn't rip. Maybe another time.

Product description
They were the Beatles of basketball, the "Mercury" Seven in sneakers. In "Dream Team, "acclaimed sports journalist Jack McCallum delivers the untold story of the greatest team ever assembled: the 1992 U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team that captivated the world, kindled the hoop dreams of countless children around the planet, and remade the NBA into a global sensation. As a senior staff writer for "Sports Illustrated, "McCallum enjoyed a courtside seat for the most exciting basketball spectacle on earth, covering the Dream Team from its inception to the gold medal ceremony in Barcelona. For the duration of the Olympics, he lived with, golfed with, and--most important--drank with some of the greatest players of the NBA's Golden Age: Magic Johnson, the ebullient showman who shrugged off his recent diagnosis of HIV to become the team's unquestioned captain and leader; Michael Jordan, the transcendent talent at the height of his powers as a player--and a marketing juggernaut; and Charles Barkley, the outspoken iconoclast whose utterances on and off the court threatened to ignite an international incident. Presiding over the entire traveling circus was the Dream Team's beloved coach, Chuck Daly, whose laissez-faire approach proved instrumental in getting the most out of such disparate personalities and superstars such as Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, and Scottie Pippen. Drawing on fresh interviews with the players, McCallum provides the definitive account of the Dream Team phenomenon. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at the controversial selection process. He takes us inside the team's Olympic suites for late-night card games and bull sessions where the players debate both the finer points of basketball and their respective places in the NBA pantheon. And he narrates a riveting possession-by-possession account of the legendary July 1992 intrasquad scrimmage that pitted the Dream Teamers against one another in what may have been the greatest pickup game--and the greatest exhibition of trash talk--in history. In the twenty years since the Dream Team first captivated the world's attention, its mystique has only grown--and so has its influence. The NBA is now flush with international stars, many of them inspired by the exuberant spirit of '92. "Dream Team "vividly re-creates the moment when a once-in-a-millennium group of athletes came together, outperformed the hype, and changed the future of sports--one perfectly executed fast break at a time. The Dream Team was . . . Michael Jordan, Guard, Chicago Bulls Magic Johnson, Guard, Los Angeles Lakers Larry Bird, Forward, Boston Celtics Charles Barkley, Forward, Phoenix Suns Chris Mullin, Forward, Golden State Warriors Scottie Pippen, Forward, Chicago Bulls John Stockton, Guard, Utah Jazz Karl Malone, Forward, Utah Jazz David Robinson, Center, San Antonio Spurs Patrick Ewing, Center, New York Knicks Christian Laettner, Forward, Duke University Clyde Drexler, Guard, Portland Trailblazers

Review quote
"The absolute definitive work on the subject, a perfectly wonderful once-you-pick-it-up-you-won't-be-able-to-put-it-down book."--"The Boston Globe" "An Olympic hoops dream."--"Newsday" " " "What makes this volume a must-read for nostalgic hoopsters are the robust portraits of the outsize personalities of the participants, all of whom were remarkably open with McCallum, both then and now."--"Booklist" (starred review) " " "One of the best basketball books you'll ever read."--"The New York Post" "A great read for basketball junkies."--"Los Angeles Times" " " "[A] stellar retrospective.""--The New York Times" "The Dream Team was one of a kind, and so is this fascinating account of the best basketball team of all time. Jack McCallum, the consummate basketball insider, lures you into the back rooms, living rooms, and locker rooms of this volatile group of superstars with revealing, colorful anecdotes that will make you laugh, cheer, and gasp. This is a terrific read by an all-star journalist."--Jackie MacMullan, "New York Times" bestselling co-author of "When the Game Was Ours" "Perfect book, perfect subject, perfect writer. "Dream Team" is one of the best sports books I have ever read--a riveting inside look at a once-in-a-lifetime squad at a once-in-a-lifetime moment in time. Jack McCallum has pieced together a masterpiece."--Jeff Pearlman, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Sweetness" and "Boys Will Be Boys" "Jack McCallum is one of my favorite writers on the NBA. If Jack writes it, even if I know the story, I want to read it. He reflects the best of his longtime residence in the glory days of "Sports Illustrated" You can see the event, but you still want to know what the reporter has to say about it. "Dream Team" is a wonderful look back at what will live on not only as one of the NBA's great times but as a summary of its golden era. Jack beautifully blends what happened then with where-are-they-now

Wanted innovative blade
Hey if anyone might by anychance have and extra Innovative Kovalev Pro stock blade that they would sell please let me know i need to pick up a fe more,, I love these blades!!! Ok let me know
You can buy Warrior blades online...should be the same as the Inno.
Well yes and no the warrior is basicly the same as innovative but i am looking for the Kovalev PRO STOCK blade. This is much different then the regular retail kovalev blade.
:dunno: I honestly don't know the difference. Only thing I know is Pro Stock doesn't ever have the warranties with the product.
Prostock is made for the actual player, where retail is mass produce in a curve which is usually not used by the actual player. In this instance the "Retail" Kovalev is a heel wedge and his "prostock" curve is a toe curve. His new Warrior blades aren't the same as his older Inno blades I've seen either. He's switched to the checkerboard pattern.
As for the original question. Call HockeyandSkateoutlet, they have them on occasion. If they aren't instock, as if they know when they may get another shipment. Also the Habs equipment sale is tomorrow apperantly. Try and contact someone in the area (maybe on the Habs forum) and get'em to pick you up whatever you can find.

Case Conclusion Date:January 19, 2012
Practice Area:DUI & DWI
Outcome:Breath test suppressed, and DUI reduced to Reckless
Description:Our client was arrested by City of Atlanta police for allegedly failing to maintain her lane while driving on I-75/85 Northbound. Although she submitted to a chemical test of her breath, (which showed a BAC in excess of .08), we were able to keep the breath test result out of evidence based on the fact that the officer advised her of her implied consent rights prior to arrest, rather than at the time of arrest, as required by law. As a result, the DUI was reduced to Reckless Driving.

Kerria Japonica - divide and transplant
I have a large Kerria that is outgrowing it's location. I don't know exactly what kind it is, as it was here when we bought the house 3 years ago.
It is approx. 8ft wide and 5ft tall. I definitely need to move this somewhere else. It seems to have suckers growing out from all sides and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I plan to divide it up into 6 or 8 smaller plants and make a border along the shaded perimeter of my yard, to serve as a privacy fence.
It is quite early in the season here and the plant seems to still be dormant. Will I kill it if I move it now? My ground is not frozen, I don't want to hurt this plant, but must move it to a place where it can grow as big as it wants to.
Any feedback or guidance is welcomed!!
splain this lucy ...
how would you HURT??? a highly aggressive groundcover-like plant that is eating up a given space ...
i dont think so ... lol ...
so go for it ... right now.. ASAP ...
now.. that said. ... and i will yell ....
BUT ... clearing away all that.. you have a problem plant.. that you are thinking about creating more problems with ... TRUST ME ... been there.. done that.. and it took a whole lot of work a few years later.. to get rid of the problem i created ...
think long and hard about all that.. and good luck with whatever you decide ...
Ken, kerria is a very useful plant for a shady location - one that seems to flower well regardless of light conditions and will tolerate quite dry soils. And it sounds like the OP has a good location to which to move this and its divisions. That this can or should be considered a "problem" plant is just speculation on your part - it may be that it was just not well thought out with its original placement.
FWIW, kerria is a caning shrub - one of the primary reasons it is amenable to any kind of division (most woody shrubs are not) but that also means it will expand in place. And it is containable or able to be restricted to a more limited placement - just sever any suckering shoots and remove if they spread too aggressively or expand too much.
she said::
I have a large Kerria that is outgrowing it's location.
that by my definition.. is one problem ...
if it outgrew one area .. it has the potential to outgrow the other area ... that is another problem ....
how many problems does she need???
all i asked is for tulip to think about it ... eh???
it was not.. as you suggested speculation [you said:That this can or should be considered a "problem" plant is just speculation on your part]
i like kerria.. i have it.. in full blistering sun on pure sand ... in 10 years it is about 1.5 feet tall .. and 2 foot wide... it is struggling... but i like it ...
i had a neighbor, years ago.. where it ended up covering about a quarter acre ... at some point it becomes a problem.. not a hard one to fix ... since it is so shallow rooted ... but a problem ...
so i suggested she think about the entirety of what she is contemplating ...
as i said.. whatever decision that is made.. is fine an dandy with me ...
C'mon, Ken, what are you talking about?
"...highly aggressive groundcover-like plant that is eating up a given space"
Don't think so.
Kerria is not an evil-shrub. As a most of the plants, it could be a right plant for the right place and a quite opposite as well. There are many plants around that could become a pests if left unchecked and kerria, thanks G-d, is not on a top of that list.
After many years of trying to contain a Kerria that was easily 15 ft wide and still going--the most exhausting work of the spring--I had someone come in with a small back hoe and remove it entirely. It's an unbelievably difficult plant to dig out.
I've been reading these posts with interest, because kerria is a shrub I'm considering for a spot where I want a privacy screen. This is a south-facing but shady (under high-limbed oaks) spot in my zone 5 yard. It's also at the edge of a stone retaining wall. Would a somewhat aggressive caning shrub be a mistake near a wall like that--would the expanding roots and canes break down the wall?
If so, anyone have other suggestions? I want something that will grow fairly tall fairly quickly. I was considering a clumping bamboo, perhaps fargesia rufa, but I'm not sure it would be dense enough near the bottom to be a good screen.
Lovesummer-I love Kerria. The blooms are beautiful and I found it quite easy to maintain even after it hadn't been maintained in quite a few years. The shoots come up individually from the ground, and you can just cut them back as they shoot up. They don't spread far from the main bunch so its really not a big deal. The plant can also appear much taller if you tie the stalks together up a few feet so the branches don't bend over and reach the ground, and it makes it easier to see the new shoots. I only had to clip the new shoots once or twice a year. It does fantastic in the shade under oaks.
kerria is a wonderful plant.. in a PROPER setting ...
all i intended to point out.. to the OP ... was the POTENTIAL to spread beyond the plan ...
if you like it.. as i say.. if it makes your toes curl ... then get it.. enjoy it..
and when it starts to irritate you.. get rid of it.. if need be ... admit your mistake.. to be forewarned.. is to be 4 armed ... eh ...
Hi tulipsmiles,
I am planning to plant kerria japonica on the north foundation shady side of my house. Did you succesfully divide your kerria and do you have some divisions that you can share with me ? BTW, is your single flowered or double flowered ?
Let me know.
Thanks !
Almost ever Kerria plant I've seen has outgrown it's bounds and invading neighboring plants. BTW, is you neighbor on the other side of the hedge going to enjoy cutting back the suckers? I'm zone 8, Boston is colder, but not that much when it comes to Kerria, so the spread might not be as fast where you live.
Somehow I don't see it as a hedge anywhere. I wouldn't plant it in my garden. The unsightly tip dieback rules it out right off the start. I do enjoy the blossoms.......in other gardens.
Hi, all.
Just want to add my 2 cents worth:
I love Kerria!
My mother gave me a start about 25 years ago, and I have it in 2 places in my yard--one on the south side of my house, and one on in my patio next to a fence, on the north side of my house. I have never had a problem with it spreading too much. I have given it away, of course, to keep it within bounds, but it's always been so easy to dig, there's no problem there. It is one of my favorite plants. Check out White Garden Farms website--$36.95 per plant.
I have the double, Kerria Japonica Pleniflora. Everyone who sees it in bloom wants it. Just cut back the old canes if you don't want the brown. New blooms grow on new canes.
As with any suckering plant, I'd guess that the zone you're in makes a difference. Some plants that spread slowly in zone 5 -- for instance, my Paulownia Tomentosa, which, yes, I also love, have gone crazy in places like Florida. It spreads via seeds, of course, but the principle is the same.
Dear wantmoreplants 5,
Although White Flower Farms publishes a beautiful print catalog and has a good reputation, its plants are grossly overpriced. Are you serious in recommending that a person should spend a shockingly high $36.95 on _Kerria japonica_, lovely though definitely not rare, when it can be purchased for a fraction of that amount from many other sources? If so, you must have money to burn or a vested interest in White Flower Farms.

A weekend of Wellness awaits
In the late 1800s, Yellow Springs was a mecca for health and wellness as far-flung visitors flocked to the village to soak in the mineral-rich waters of the Yellow Spring. With hopes of re-igniting regional interest in the town's alternative therapies, holistic health practitioners and artists have teamed up to put on this weekend's Wellness Experience.
Healing with ancient ways
Virgil Mayor Apostol tends to get on people's nerves. The holistic health practitioner treats his patients' nervous system using traditional Filipino healing techniques like pulling, stretching, pressure and joint mobilization, and in so doing can help them heal from injury, chronic pain or work-related impairments.
Lawson gardeners picket Greene Met
With a little over a week to go before gardens at the Lawson Place public housing unit are permanently removed, residents and local allies picketed in front of Greene Metropolitan Housing Authority's Xenia office on Friday.
Boys best Div. 1 Fairborn
From the opening whistle of the match, the Yellow Springs High School boys varsity soccer team was in control against visiting Division I Fairborn.
A weekend of wellness and art healing
With hopes of re-igniting regional interest in the town's alternative therapies, holistic health practitioners and artists have teamed up to put on this weekend's Wellness Experience.
Jenkins honored for rehab work
Alyce Earl Jenkins may have stumbled by accident into the nascent field of rehabilitation counseling in the mid-1960s, but it was no accident how much this longtime villager contributed to the discipline over a distinguished four-decade career. For that work, which focused on helping those with physical and mental disabilities find work, she will be inducted into the Greene County Women's Hall of Fame this month.
An eye on arts, crafts at Cyclops
Organizers of Cyclops Fest, returning this weekend for its second year, like to compare their handmade fair to a farmers' market. At both, patrons buy high quality goods that are locally and lovingly hand-produced directly from those who labored to make them — only instead of heirloom tomatoes, Cyclops patrons can purchase jewelry, apparel, handbags, paper goods, bath products and more.
