SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The New Orleans Pelicans have made an offer to Sacramento Kings restricted free agent guard Tyreke Evans, two people familiar with the situation said Monday.
AP Sources: Pelicans make offer to Tyreke Evans
The people spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the offer was supposed to remain private. Several media outlets reported the deal was for four years and ranging between $40 million and $48 million.
Because he's a restricted free agent, the Kings will have the opportunity to match any offers Evans signs. Contracts can't be inked until July 10, after next season's salary cap is set.
It's unclear if Sacramento would match such a lucrative offer. New Kings general manager Pete D'Alessandro and other team executives planned to meet with Evans and his agent, Arn Tellem, in the Los Angeles area.
Sacramento seemed to start making preparations for Evans' departure when it selected Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore seventh overall in last week's draft. The Kings also took Detroit point guard Ray McCallum with the No. 36 pick.
Evans was drafted fourth overall out of Memphis in 2009 and won the NBA Rookie of the Year that season, but he has been set back by various knee and foot injuries and struggled to adjust to former coach Keith Smart's style. When healthy and unleashed, he's still one of the league's most lethal scorers.

Roberts decides to stay with current bank for investments
The issue was finally put to rest.
After several meetings with four different financial institutions, the Village of Roberts voted to stay with Citizen's Bank.
It all began in November when Doreen Kruschke, village clerk, asked the board for permission to hire a financial advisor to manage the Village's $1 million rotating balance in its general fund. The account is used to pay bills, wages, etc., but usually stays around the $1 million mark.

Brunch salad
This sophisticated canape plays with taste and texture, as you bite through crunchy toffee into ripe, juicy tomato.

Learn to make Tobie Puttock's delicious gluten free fusilli with homemade basil pesto. Watch Video

This is a fantastic receipt!!!! Made them for NYE party - the plate did not even get to the table & all were gone!!!! Luckily I had made extras, also you might like to try with Mint, very refreshing!!!
For the people who are saying the toffee melted... this can happen when it has been overcooked, but the more likely suspect is that the tomatoes were put in the fridge. Any sort of caramel like this essentially melts in the fridge.
I love the combinations of these tomatoes. serve on bed of leaves with blanched asparagus. beautiful to have with a lamb roast dinner.
YUM! I have made these a few times and I am becoming better at making them each time. I use Spinich leaves instead of basil and I but them straight onto the leaf so the toffee sticks to the leaf. I do not worry about using vine tomatoes just tiny toms and use a decorative toothpic in the top to dip the tomatoes and leave the toothpic in so they are easy to serve.
I made these to take to a BBQ. They were an absolute hit. I really enjoyed the looks of surprise when people crunched into them, totally not expecting it. Was asked for the recipe by 3 people. Will become a regular on my entertainment agenda!
it seemed to be a great idea. I managed to brown the toffee a little too much, though it still looked good so decided to serve anyway. A few hours later I came back to serve for lunch and the tomatoes were sitting in a pool of brown liquid- the toffee had all melted! On top of that the toffee was bitter as it had over-browned (read burnt) so it was a total disaster (and it wasnt even a hot day to cause the melting)
Don't you think you should have put them in the fridge to wait for serving as it was a few hours!? And the burnt toffee wasn't the recipe fault...
Fantastic! Took these to a friends 50th and they were a hit! Love the crunch and taste.
this is a VERY delious recipe.
A very glamorous canape.
I agree these tomatoes looked great, but I thought they tasted odd, to say the least!! The tomato and toffee just don't make a great combination. I took them along to Book Club, and everyone commented on how great they looked, but I noticed no-one took seconds or commented on the taste! One piece of advice, if you do make them, make sure the toffee cotaing is not too thick, as it can make them hard to bite into.
Not only does this look impressive but it's a real taste sensation. I was really suprised how well this worked, the sweetness of the toffee with the acidity of the tomato. Yum

For months, they have sat here, half a block from the prime minister's palace in the Green Zone, essentially captives with little food, drinking water or electricity.
Humble laborers, they had come to Baghdad in January from Eastern Europe and Asia seeking better wages.
They had the important sounding assignment of building a dozen villas to house heads of state for the annual meeting of the Arab League, which was scheduled to take place here.
But the project was halted in April for reasons that are unclear, and a month later, as the Arab Spring rolled on, the Arab League meeting was postponed until next year.
Now the workers — 27 Ukrainians (including a woman), 7 Bulgarians and 1 Nepalese — are marooned here, living in one of the world's hottest and most inhospitable cities in an abandoned building next to the construction site and lacking the documents they need to leave the country.

Tricked Foreign Students Stage Walkout Of Hershey's Chocolate Factory
Remember that Simpsons episode in which Bart is conned into becoming a slave on a French grape farm through an "exchange student" program? The New York Times reports:
… Read the rest
Hundreds of foreign students, waving their fists and shouting defiantly in many languages, walked off their jobs on Wednesday at a plant here that packs Hershey's chocolates, saying a summer program that was supposed to be a cultural exchange had instead turned them into underpaid labor.
The students, from countries including China, Nigeria, Romania and Ukraine, came to the United States through a long-established State Department summer visa program that allows them to work for two months and then travel. They said they were expecting to practice their English, make some money and learn what life is like in the United States.
In a way, they did. About 400 foreign students were put to work lifting heavy boxes and packing Reese's candies, Kit-Kats and Almond Joys on a fast-moving production line, many of them on a night shift.
Major Corporations To Hide Income Disparity
Aaron Cynic writes at Diatribe Media:
A group of 81 major corporations believe that public knowledge of what their CEOs make in respect to the average worker is "useless" information. The Washington Post reports that more than a year ago (H/T Alternet), some of America's biggest corporate movers and shakers began lobbying Congress to force changes to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, so companies needn't bother disclose the wage gulf between executives and workers. A House committee approved the bill 33–21.
Rep. Nan A.S. Hayworth (R-NY), who sponsored The Burdensome Data Collection Relief Act (HR1062), said comparing a CEO's wage to the average worker could "mislead or confuse investors" and that such a comparison "creates heat but sheds no light." Tim Bartl, senior vice president and general counsel for the Center on Executive Compensation asked "You can already tell where a CEO falls relative to his peers, you can already tell where he falls relative to the average worker in the industry.… Read the rest
The Pentagon's Invisible Third-World Army
When enlistment is down, what's the military to do? Outsource. Seventy thousand of the people in the Pentagon's war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan are not U.S. soldiers, but "third-country nationals" — Filipinos launder our soldiers' uniforms, Bosnians repair electrical grids, Indians serve up iced lattes. Many say they are being held in conditions resembling indentured servitude by subcontractors who operate outside the law, the New Yorker reports:

In the morning of October 10, 2007, the beauticians boarded their flight to the Emirates. They carried duffelbags full of cosmetics, family photographs, Bibles, floral sarongs. More than half of the women left husbands and children behind. In the rush to depart, none of them examined the fine print on their travel documents: their visas to the Emirates weren't employment permits but thirty-day travel passes that forbade all work, "paid or unpaid". And Dubai was just a stopping-off point. They were bound for U.S.
Anti-Protest Laws Being Pushed Through Egyptian Government
Ahram Online reports:
… Read the rest
The Egyptian cabinet approved yesterday a decree-law that criminalises strikes, protests, demonstrations and sit-ins that interrupt private or state owned businesses or affect the economy in any way.
The decree-law also assigns severe punishment to those who call for or incite action, with the maximum sentence one year in prison and fines of up to half a million pounds.
The new law, which still needs to be approved by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, will be in force as long as the emergency law is still in force. Egypt has been in a state of emergency since the assassination of former president Anwar Sadat in 1981.
Since former president Hosni Mubarak stepped down on 11 February, Egypt has witnessed escalating nationwide labour strikes and political protests.
Indiana Prosecutor Resigns After Suggesting Staging 'Fake Attack' In Wisconsin
Vic Ryckaert and Kevin O'Neal report in the Indianapolis Star:
… Read the rest
For the second time, an Indiana public official has lost his job because of provocative comments made about the political brouhaha in Wisconsin.
Carlos F. Lam, a Johnson County deputy prosecutor, resigned Thursday after acknowledging he sent an email last month urging Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to discredit labor union protests by orchestrating a fake assault on himself.
Possibly, Lam suggested, the pretend assailant might even use a firearm.
Lam's boss, Prosecutor Bradley D. Cooper, accepted the resignation. He called Lam's Feb. 19 email to Walker a "foolish suggestion."
On Feb. 23, the Indiana Attorney General's office fired deputy Atty. Gen. Jeff Cox after he suggested in blog posts and on Twitter that police use live ammunition on protesters who had poured into Wisconsin's Capitol.
The political fight in Wisconsin erupted when Walker, a Republican, called for eliminating collective bargaining for public employees.
Unpaid Huffington Post Writers May Strike Following $315 Million Sale To AOL
The progressive views of leading liberal website the Huffington Post apparently stop at the office door. When your company is worth $315 million, it's hard to make excuses for not paying your writers, and so the Newspaper Guild is urging the site's unpaid bloggers to strike, in a controversy that has gone oddly undermentioned in the left-wing blogosphere. The Wrap reports:
… Read the rest
Arianna Huffington scoffed at a group of unpaid Huffington Post contributors that announced on Wednesday they would stop contributing content to the site, weeks after its $315 million sale to AOL was announced.
"The idea of going on strike when no one really notices," Huffington said. "Go ahead, go on strike."
The controversy arose after writers for the websites ArtScene and Visual Art Source , which had been contributing content to the Huffington Post for free since 2010, refuse to contribute additional material to the site unless they got paid.

The U.S. Government Stops Paying Dead People
The U.S. government sees dead people. Explains a lot. Mark S. Smith writes on the AP via Yahoo News:
… Read the rest
Here's an idea, Uncle Sam: Stop writing checks to dead people.
The government sent benefit checks to 20,000 departed Americans over three years, totaling more than $180 million — a remarkable number that provoked the Obama administration to create a government-wide "do not pay" list as part of its brainstorming for ways to save taxpayer money.
Once the database is up and running, agencies will have to search it before sending out payments. A pre-check check, so to speak.
"We're making sure that payments no longer go to the deceased — it sounds ridiculous even to say it," acknowledged Vice President Joe Biden in describing the database.
Also planned for inclusion: contractors who've fallen behind in their payments or, even worse, landed in jail, and companies that have been suspended or otherwise deemed ineligible for government work.

NFL Coach of the Year race: Colts' Bruce Arians in front
At least admit you would laugh out loud if this happened.
NFL Coach of the Year race: Colts' Bruce Arians in front
By Kareem Copeland
INDIANAPOLIS -- Can an interim coach be named NFL Coach of the Year? He should be.
Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians was thrust into what seemed like an impossible situation when first-year coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia. Arians received a call from Pagano at 11 p.m. Sunday during the Week 4 bye and was the acting head coach during a team meeting at 8 a.m. Monday. The Colts were 1-2 at the time, coming off a two-win season and breaking in No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Luck and a host of new players. Forty-seven new players have made their way to Indy in 2012. Oh, and Arians was getting past his own issues after an unceremonious separation from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Now, the Colts are 9-4 and one win away from a playoff berth. Every other team currently with a minimum of nine wins advanced to the 2011 playoffs while the Colts were preparing for the No. 1 pick. No other team has had the complete turnaround Indianapolis has -- and that's with an ill coach, a new general manager and a new roster. This isn't what Arians spent the offseason preparing for.
"You can't say enough good stuff about BA right now," Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri said Wednesday. "He's always taken Chuck's wishes and our philosophies and our schemes and he's put that front and center and continued to coach his way to make sure it's done the way that this team needs to be. And then to be successful and be able to still do all his offensive coordinator stuff, but yet oversee the defense and special teams and make personnel decisions and stuff.
"I don't get a vote on coach of the year type stuff, but it'd be hard-pressed to find somebody that's done a greater job than he has this year."
Colts linebacker Dwight Freeney added: "He's just kept everybody focused on what the mission is and just the process. Keeping us focused through all the adversity that happened and channeling all of that energy to winning ballgames and everything that Chuck talked about day in and day out, making sure that message is still there."
Other COY candidates
Gary Kubiak, Houston Texans
Kubiak has the Texans locked into the second playoff berth in franchise history. They currently hold the top seed in the AFC and probably would be considered Super Bowl favorites if not for embarrassing losses to the New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers. The franchise is closer to a championship than it has ever been.
Mike Smith, Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons won double-digit games in three of the first four years under Smith as a run-first team leaning on Michael Turner. Smith made the decision to put the 2012 onus on quarterback Matt Ryan and the receiving trio of Roddy White, Julio Jones and Tony Gonzalez. It hasn't been pretty as of late, but the Falcons are 11-2 and closing in on the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Jim Harbaugh, San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers were expected to win the NFC West, but it took some brass to bench veteran quarterback Alex Smith in favor of second-year pro Colin Kaepernick. The ceiling now is higher, but Smith did take the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game last season.
Bill Belichick, New England Patriots
I know, yawn. But the Patriots are 10-3 and playing better than anyone else in the NFL. That can't be ignored.
Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos
What, we can't vote for players? Even if we know who's primarily responsible for the Broncos being on a league-high eight-game winning streak and a Super Bowl contender?

Re: NFL Coach of the Year race: Colts' Bruce Arians in front
Gotta admit, what the Colts have done this year, far exceeds what any other teams or coach has done in the NFL this season.
Same goes for MVP - should be Adrian Peterson. Period. Not Brady or Manning.

Re: NFL Coach of the Year race: Colts' Bruce Arians in front
Manning is more "valuable" to the Bronco's than Brady is. Brady has been helped immensely more by their RB's than Manning. There's also a few others cases could be made for.....Von Miller, JJ Watt, Luck, etc, that deserve it way more than Brady does.
But unfortunately, its not the MVP award. It's "best stats" and/or most popular player. So that big baby in NE will more than likely win it. Sad - because Peterson should absolutely wipe the floor with Brady with votes for this award

They get the Texans, who must keep winning to keep the #1 seed, twice in three weeks, with trap game KC in Arrowhead.
Let's see if they hold it together.

Good for Bruce. It wasn't going to work out here, we moved on and he did too. As much as I hated him here, I'd like to see him be successful in Indy (hopefully not at our expense)

Re: NFL Coach of the Year race: Colts' Bruce Arians in front
And when he had to coach against an elite quarterback / coach duo, he got his ass handed to him on a silver platter. Then, Belichick raped said ass repeatedly before Brady took his turn.
Coach of the year? This is a joke. They've beaten mediocre teams, and if the Packers hadn't packed up and gone home after the second quarter they'd be 0-2 against elite quarterbacks this year. This is still Bruce Arians, here. The same Bruce Arians that thought it was a great idea to go into a tropical storm and air it out is in the coach of the year discussion?

Raptors organization willing to consider name change
Jun 6, 2013, 1:13 AM EDT
When the Raptors introduced their new General Manager Masai Ujiri this week, most of the focus was on he Raptors roster, such as could the new GM find a
sucker team to take on the contract of Andrea Bargnani.
But there was one more interesting conversation — the idea of a name change.
New CEO Tim Leiweke said the idea is on the table, reports the National Post.
"We're definitely going to take a look at it. It doesn't mean we're committed to it. It means it's a good conversation. I saw those generic uniforms today in the paper. … That won't be the uniform, by the way. I can assure you of that. I think we need to have this conversation."
Toronto's team has been named the Raptors since 1995 when they were first established as a franchise. At the time there was a huge naming contest that drew thousands of suggestions from throughout Canada. It's not a coincidence that the Raptors name was selected at a time when the "Jurassic Park" movie had just come out. It was also thought that a younger generation — kids love dinosaurs! — would latch on to the name and become lifelong fans.
But the name Raptors isn't terribly Canadian (all the fossils were found in Mongolia and China). The uniforms are pretty uninspiring.
There are a couple name changes going on in the NBA. As of now the Pelicans play in New Orleans, not the Hornets — much of the nation shook their head at that name change but it went over well in the Big Easy, and that's what matters. With the name Hornets open, Charlotte announced it would take the Hornets name back and ditch Bobcats (that does not start until the fall of 2014).
Any name change in Toronto would take a couple years to come about, at least.

The Raptors, as a name, has never been the same since Bosh left, since he looked just like the team's name.
- dubblelznhell - Jun 6, 2013 at 7:37 PM
Raptors have been relevant more than a few times since their inception. Your ignorant American pride is what keeps you from noticing. And I like the Raptors name. Always have. The land of 10,000 lakes is Minnesota, is it not? How relevant is the Lakers name in California?
- halfbaht - Jun 7, 2013 at 2:59 AM
What's wrong with the name raptors exactly? Still better than the pelicans. I wouldn't change it. Their jersey in the 90's was one of the most iconic. Bring back the raptor logo on the front if you're worried about jersey sales.
- don444 - Jun 8, 2013 at 3:43 AM
Raptors has no real connection to Toronto and Pelicans, regardless of what YOU think about it, has plenty of connection to New Orleans and the state of Louisiana. Get it now? Just for the record, their earliest jersey was, and remains, memorable only in the sense that it was widely regarded as childish and ridiculous and was generally a laughingstock. Just an overall terrible posting on your part, must not be very bright at all.

Tatooine-like planet: Astronomers spot pair of planets orbiting twin suns (+video)
The scientists published their findings online Aug. 28 in the journal Science. They will also detail their results Aug. 29 at the General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in Beijing.
Planet in the habitable zone?
Intriguingly, the outer planet lurks in the system's habitable zone, where a rocky planet like Earth is the right temperature to have liquid water on its surface.
"We've learned that circumbinary planets can be like the planets in our own solar system, but with two suns," said study co-author Joshua Carter at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
Although the outer planet is probably a gas giant slightly larger than Uranus and therefore not suitable for life as we know it, these findings do show that circumbinary planets can and do exist in habitable zones.
"The thing I find most exciting is the potential for habitability in a circumbinary system," said study co-author William Welsh at San Diego State University. "Kepler-47c is not likely to harbor life, but if it had large moons, those would be very interesting worlds."
Weird weather on Tatooine planets
Circumbinary planets might undergo relatively wild climate swings.

almost done & sharing banquette pics
Dh and I are on the "who knows when" plan for redoing the kitchen. Rather than putting up with a lot of things for several years, we've been puttering about, changing things as we go. If it is just a temporary change, I try to do it inexpensively as possible. If I can translate it to the new kitchen down the road, I'm willing to spend a bit more effort and money.
Anyway, one change that we've been working on since the end of December is a banquette and new table. Our dining space in the kitchen was not large enough to fit our table for 6.
We took down a half wall and rebuilt it, angling it 2 ft into our family room area. Then dh built a banquette - it's not a straight bench, but it's not quite a full "L" either - we decided to respect the french door we have and not build in front of it. ;-)
He still needs to make the drawer that will go under the long side of the banquette.
I made the upholstered cushions for the banquette. I got the foam online (much better quality than Joann's and MUCH less $$), glued it to luan, wrapped it in batting and used curtain material from ikea. The cushions are held in place with velcro. Jury is still out on that.
The table is one of those wide ikea numerar countertops. We cut it to size (63 x 39) and angled a few corners for ease of use and design. Dh also routed the edges. Then I stained and waterloxed it. It sits on 2 cast iron pedestals. (when we eventually redo the cabinets/counters, I might switch out the top for the counter surface)
Without further ado, here are a few pictures of the progress. We love it, the kids are fully enjoying it and my kitchen looks like it at least 2 times the size with the space saved by the banquette (plus the stealing of the square footage from the family room).
We also switched out and moved over the kitchen light - for the first time since we moved here, the light is centered over a table ;-)
laughable - the website name cracks me up - I guess it's practical though...
thanks for the kudos ---- and I have enjoyed many cups of coffee already - it is a perfect spot. -- although we live in a suburban subdivision, we back to the woods. One of our favorite morning coffee pastimes is watching the deer... the fox... or other bits of wildlife wander by. :-)
This turned out great -- love the efficiency of banquettes. DH and I were looking at these, and DH especially appreciated the step by step pictures (and asked me to save them) since he may have one of these building projects in the near future, thanks!
I bought the countertop towards the end of dec.... and yes, it was solid. We actually used the part we cut off to make 3 cutting boards. Ended up being Christmas presents. ;-)
This is the one I bought : http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40057853/#/40057853 I'm pretty sure it was the beech one, but I can't find the paper now.
DH used google sketch up to draw out what I gave him in graph paper - I need to wait till he's home to see if I can find that info...
pretty much I used things like the drawings in this thread, http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg1009290030834.html , and also just measured our own chairs to see what was comfortable. As I said, we planned and planned and planned. And then when we actually started ripping the wall out and putting in the 2x4's etc, everything was a readjustment. Let's just say, dh and I realized we weren't always understanding one another as I tried to explain my vision to him. (but it all worked out in the end ;-P )
This looks great! I have a similar project I'm about to start. What are some of your measurements? Total height of banquette, seat width, back rest width at top and bottom,seat height, seat depth. What material did you use to finish it? Also did you router the table edge? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks in advance....

county carpet cleaning
- When you are spoilt for options when choosing carpet cleaning company for your house or business, you should understand the differing types of carpet cleaning techniques utilized by different companies as not every techniques work with your carpet. Fo the best utah county carpet cleaning, keep on reading.

Warm Water Extraction Cleaning
Generally referred to as steam carpet cleaning, warm water extraction cleaning use high compelled warm water to agitate the carpet fibre and dissolve grime within the carpet.
Warm water extraction cleaning typically involves use of cleaning agent on soiled surface, agitation of carpet with brush and then rinsing. After cleaning agent get ready the carpet for any short duration, the carpet is going to be "cleaned" with a carpet cleaning equipment to wash the cleaning agent completely and lastly left to dry in room or air-conditioned temperature
A typical sized carpeted office of 3000 sq foot would normally take a couple of hrs to wash and can take a minimum of 4 hrs to dry. A lot of companies would advise carpet to become washed within the late mid-day to ensure that after to control your emotions, the carpet could be left to dry over evening and office operation can resume normal again the following morning.
Carpet Shampooing
Shampoo carpet cleaning was popular till encapsulation technology has been around since seventies. While shampooing it might appear to wash heavily soiled carpet, the technology's disadvantage – abandoning large quantities of wet foam deposits within the carpet that can take a very long time to dry, becomes sticky if this dries because no rinsing is performed after shampooing and rapid re-messing of carpet – makes this process less popular than the others.
Foam encapsulation use synthetic liquids like a base which will crystallize into powder form when dries. Loose grime contaminants in carpet fibre is going to be exemplified into powder once the applied cleaning foam dries and, finally, cleaned or blown once the foam dries after cleaning.
The froth encapsulation cleaning method has overtaken carpet shampooing technology because the former uses less water throughout cleaning which lead to shorter drying out time in comparison towards the carpet shampooing. The froth encapsulation cleaning has gotten thumbs up by individuals who advocate using of environment friendly items because there's less chemical residue left out after cleaning in comparison to carpet shampooing.
Even though this method has proven good cleaning results, this cleaning method is not in a position to completely clean heavy messing carpet due to the technology's limitation.

Bonneting also has a tendency to cause accumulation of chemical residue within the carpet as pressure in the heavy machine around the spinning pad push the applied chemical and remaining grime in to the carpet.

Because it was invented in eighties, you will find various kinds of cleaning compound or powders which have been developed on the market. Because this technologies are considered relatively recent in comparison with other conventional wet carpet cleaning techniques which have been reliable and employed for decades, many still doubt the potency of this cleaning technology.
The highlight is the use of cleaning compound or powder in to the bottom level of carpet utilizing a motorized counter rotating brush machine to spread out in the carpet fibre and permit the compound to stay inside, leading to thorough deep carpet cleaning result.
Cleaning compound is usually made from biodegradable material that actually works like micro-sponges, which could effectively absorb dissolved grime within the carpet and could be removed completely in the finish from the process.
Different equipment producers differentiate themselves by developing their very own cleaning compound or powders formula and designing their equipment design and performance.

Grapevine pergola
When DH asked me what I wanted for my birthday in February all I could think of was a pergola for growing grapes. So here it is. He bought 2 cedar trellises for the ends, then constructed the rest of it. Here he is sitting under his project. We planted a grape vine at each end. Love it!
What a great birthday present! I love it.
That will be beautiful covered with vines & grapes hanging down! I think he is enjoying it already! Nice work DH! You will be able to enjoy the"fruits of your labors" later on towards fall, well, maybe not until next year, those vines will have to grow fast to give you grapes this year. Purple grapes, Concord, I think really grow fast so if that is what you planted you might just be making grape jelly or juicing them! Jan
What a lovely birthday gift! I really like that shade of green on your pretty table and chairs too. He looks like a man deserving of a good rest. Tell him he did a wonderful job on your pergola! And be sure to post pictures as the grapevines grow.

Pls show me your custom masterbrm closets
hcf1January 3, 2009
2009 is here & I say no longer will I tolerate a pile of falling sweaters landing on my head! I'm ready to make over my walk-in master bedroom closet and need all the pictures I can gather. I've called the cabinet maker and he's on his way, now I need a plan. If you don't mind please also list your must haves & should haves. Looking forward to hearing from you!
Mine is the same size as Marti8a. I have a short rod inside the door (from the Container store, I think) that has holes for hangers. It is NOT an "over the door type rod" it does not hsow from the outside. I have a high rod for suits and pants, and a rod below it for blouses and jackets. Shoes are on the floor. Out of season clothes are upstairs and sweaters, etc. are under the bed.

Environment: Treading lightly on the Earth
This unit focuses on the problem of greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide, and explore what you can do to lighten those emissions to help reduce the rate of climate change. You will assess your 'carbon footprint' and see what actions you and, if relevant, other household members could take to lighten that footprint. You will also better understand which actions are more and less effective, and the scope and limits of what individuals can do at the personal and household level.
This study unit is an adapted extract from the Open University course U116 Environment: Journeys through a changing world [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)] .
You'll explore the answers to questions such as:
What is the carbon reduction effect of changing your eating habits, compared to driving fewer miles or flying less often?
By how much would you need to reduce your carbon footprint to achieve an environmentally 'sustainable' level of emissions?

Five tips to help you build a preference center that offers your subscribers the control they want and helps you deliver relevant, value-filled messages.
B2B email marketers in the U.S. don't have to ask permission to send an email message to a business contact as long as they allow that contact to unsubscribe. As a result, many marketers seem to bend over backwards rather than encourage someone to opt in to their email list.
However, those B2B marketers with opt-in lists have less attrition, stronger sender reputations, and better response rates.
Encouraging your contacts to opt in may seem counterintuitive if you are trying to build your list, but your goal is to focus on the quality of your subscribers rather than the quantity. Quality subscribers who want to receive your messages generate more high-quality leads.
The secret is to offer subscribers a preference center that allows them to control which of your messages they would like to receive. This week, I'll focus on what it takes to create an effective preference center and the potential repercussions of not offering this benefit.
5 Tips to Get You Started
A preference center puts your subscribers in the driver's seat when they are signing up to receive your communications or when they are deciding if they want to unsubscribe. But how do you know what information to ask for and what choices to offer to your subscribers?
The following tips will help you build a world-class preference center that offers your subscribers the control they want and gives you the information you need to deliver relevant, value-filled messages.
Don't Fail to Act
Not building a preference center can have several possible implications for your program. The most crucial are these:
The Last Word
Make it easy for your subscribers to opt in and out through your email preference center, from your sales collateral, on your website, and through your email messages. Offer multiple category-based message choices for opt-in, and include prominent links to managing email preferences in all email communications.
Successfully building a world-class preference center that lets your subscribers choose their own content will lead to a quality list that, in turn, will yield higher-quality leads.

Planning for the Future
Considering and trying to be prepared for all possible outcomes.
Editor's Note: While this columnist is no longer writing for dLife.com and we have ceased to update the information contained herein, there is much to be read here that is still applicable to the lives of people with diabetes. If you wish to act on anything you learn here, be sure to consult your doctor first. Please enjoy the column!
November 2009 — Now that it appears we are slowly coming out of the American economy's recession, the focus of our household has changed. No longer are we concerned about where we will receive health insurance or if we will need to make hefty COBRA payments, as Greg's job is quite stable these days. No longer are we concerned about income loss should I lose my job, as we have built up our savings by living fairly cheaply the past year.
So we recognize that now is our time to start thinking long-term goals and plans, especially as we enter our mid-thirties and past the immaturity of our youth. Diabetes weighs heavily on these goals and plans.
Currently, I am in pursuit of developing a full freelance writing career. That will mean less income, which means there's that pesky health insurance thing again. Because of that, it would benefit us if I find something part-time to keep up on accounting skills should I need to seek out a full-time job with benefits again in the future.
The future. It could mean complications from diabetes. As much as we hope it will not, we still need to think about them. Where would our income come from if Greg, our primary breadwinner, were to become unable to work?
Life insurance is hard to come by with diabetes. It is not impossible, but we choose to invest in order to save money for the future. It doesn't have to be risky to invest, even in this still shaky economy.
And like I said, there is always the possibility that I would be able to return to the formal workplace setting, though I would not match his income entirely. Obviously, any complications I might encounter would be less devastating on our income. No matter to whom it would happen, medical bills from complications could eat away at our savings.
Not only do we need to make sure that we plan for our financial future with possible disability, we need to take care of legal matters. We have never signed wills or living wills, a task that I'm almost embarrassed to admit to our friends who already have done so.
Still, with diabetes looming over our heads, and with the financial matters that could arise from complications, it is important now to take care of these things. And if we can add planned giving for our preferred diabetes research organizations to our wills, so much the better.
If our financial and legal futures are healthy, the most we can hope for is that we never have to tap into the plans we make now for our lives ahead with diabetes. That we will be sitting across the dinner table from each other, celebrating our fiftieth wedding anniversary retired and complication-free.
(Now if only we could be guaranteed our five cats would all be around in another forty-two years, too…)

Because I wear my Dexcom on my arm, I've slowly adjusted to the fact that people will ask me about it.
