Chase Gets Green Light In Florida Market
By LANE KELLEY, Business Writer
August 15, 1987
Troubled thrifts in Florida might keep a lookout for Chase Manhattan Corp., which received clearance on Friday to buy additional financial institutions in the state. Bank analysts predicted Chase -- through its Chase Bank of Florida subsidiary in St. Petersburg -- would try to buy ailing thrifts and that two of the most likely prospects are Beach Federal Savings and Loan in Boynton Beach and Freedom Savings and Loan in Tampa. Chase`s clearance comes from expiration of an 18-month waiting period Chase had to observe as a result of its acquisition of Park Bank of Florida in February 1986.
Thieves use forklift to steal ATM from Miramar bank
By Erika Pesantes, Sun Sentinel
January 10, 2014
You have to have the right tools for the job. And for the thieves who yanked an ATM machine from its footing, that tool was a "mega" forklift. After stealing the forklift from a construction site, two or more bandits used it at a nearby Bank of America in Miramar to pick up the ATM and place it in the back of a stolen box truck. The heist unfolded within minutes Friday, between about 12:58 a.m. and 1:01 a.m. The bank soon alerted authorities, but the thieves were gone when police arrived.
Chase boosts fee for basic checking 50 percent
By Doreen Hemlock, Sun Sentinel
February 7, 2011
Starting Tuesday, Chase bank is increasing fees on checking accounts, part of a broader move by large banks to try to recoup some revenue they're losing from tighter regulation of overdraft and debit-card fees. The bank will charge a $12 monthly service fee for basic checking. But the fee can be waived if customers either make at least one direct deposit of $500 minimum; keep a $1,500 minimum daily balance; keep a $5,000 average daily balance in Chase deposit and investment accounts; or if they pay at least $25 in other checking-related fees during the month.
New surveillance photos released of 'bump and rob' suspect
By Wayne K. Roustan, Sun Sentinel
May 27, 2011
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is renewing a warning, offering a bigger reward and releasing new pictures of a "bump and rob" suspect. Nine new surveillance photos show a man sitting in the driver's side backseat of a gray four-door car with a sunroof. He appears to be involved in a transaction at a drive-through ATM at a Chase Bank in Palm Beach Gardens on May 5, just before 5 a.m. Crime Stoppers has increased the reward to $10,000 for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of this or any other suspect involved in a series of armed carjacking robberies that occurred throughout Palm Beach County recently between midnight and 6 a.m. The suspects have rear-ended and robbed motorists in unincorporated Palm Beach County , North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Riviera Beach, West Palm Beach, Greenacres, Palm Springs and Boynton Beach . West Palm Beach police and Delray Beach police charged Michael Barnett and Deonte Peterkins in connection with two shootings and a robbery on May 19 that involved rear-end collisions with the victims' vehicles.
Fourth arrest for motorcycle bank robbery in West Palm Beach
By Wayne K. Roustan, Sun Sentinel
September 21, 2010
A fourth suspect has been charged in the motorcycle robbery of a Chase Bank in West Palm Beach on Sept. 14. Abraham Figueroa, 32, was paid $1,000 to dispose of the helmets, clothing and a motorcycle license plate used during the armed holdup, according to a federal affidavit. Co-defendant Juan Gabriel Mercardo, 29, is accused of opening the door of the bank while suspect Clifford S. Davis, 30, drove a black motorcycle into the lobby. Once inside, Mercardo forced bank employees to open the vault and then Davis and Mercardo stole approximately $144,000 before driving out of the bank on the motorcycle, according to U.S. Attorney Wifredo A. Ferrer.
Woman robbed outside a bank in Boca Raton
By Wayne K. Roustan, Sun Sentinel
April 27, 2012
Police are searching for a brazen bandit who robbed a woman at gunpoint inside her own car outside a bank in Boca Raton on Friday. It happened at 9:40 a.m. outside the Chase Bank at 5950 West Glades Road, police said. The victim had just left the bank, after removing $50,000 and a Rolex watch from a safe deposit box. The victim said she got into her car and then a man knocked on the passenger window. He pointed a black semi-automatic handgun at her through the window and demanded that she open the car door, investigators said.
Towel-wearing bank robber and partner wanted by FBI
By Ed Komenda, Sun Sentinel
September 8, 2012
Perhaps believing a Richard Nixon mask, a clown outfit or a T-shirt reading, "Hello! I'm a bank robber" would be too conspicuous, a man the FBI said robbed a Miami bank Friday opted for a less-complicated-yet-still-obvious disguise when he draped a white bath towel over his head and demanded money from an employee. The FBI Saturday released surveillance photographs of the man and his partner, who opted for the more-traditional bank robber attire of T-shirt, shorts, cap and sunglasses - sans towel.
Career bank robber, 64, confesses to two more
By Maria Herrera, Sun Sentinel
December 19, 2011
A Pompano Beach man who had served 25 years in prison for robbing dozens of banks was at it again, this time in Vero Beach and Indialantic, police said. Harvey William Ward, 64, was arrested Friday, shortly after allegedly robbing the TD Bank at 417 Fifth Ave. in Indialantic. According to police, Ward entered the bank, gave a teller a note saying he had a gun and demanded money. Ward had bandages on his face to conceal his identity, police said. He walked away with more than $3,000 in cash.
FBI seeks public's help to find suspect in bank robbery spree
By Lisa J. Huriash, Staff Writer
April 23, 2013
The FBI on Tuesday released the name of a 26-year-old man accused of committing seven bank robberies in Broward since last May. Jeffery Kelly Ross - whose first name is also spelled Jeffrey in state records and is last known to have lived in Miami - is suspected by the FBI of conducting these robberies: • May 9 at Bank United at 3660 W. Oakland Park Blvd. in Lauderdale Lakes. • Sept. 7 at Chase Bank at 6399 W. Commercial Blvd. in Tamarac. • Oct. 19 and Nov. 2 at Bank of America at 7001 N. University Drive in Tamarac.
Three Bank of America branches robbed Friday in Broward County
By Linda Trischitta, Sun Sentinel
October 19, 2012
Friday was not a good day to be a Bank of America employee, when three branches in Broward County were held up. The first robbery happened around 8 a.m. at 3030 Davie Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, the FBI said. A weapon was shown, money was taken and no one was harmed. An image released by the government did not capture the head of a robber, but shows him wearing black and white attire with a pistol in his left hand. The FBI says this robber may be the same man who held up a Chase bank at 5096 N. Dixie Highway in Oakland Park on Aug. 22. At 10:33 a.m. Friday, the second robbery happened at 21 S. Pompano Parkway.

Former "Amgel" star Amy Acker has a new 'work wanted' billboard wrapped around her. Seems the talented brunette has been dropped from the forthcoming series "The Unit", according to E Online.
"I guess she is no longer a part of that show", says she site. "So sorry, I didn't know. Just heard from her rep that: "She's been vacationing in Europe, and they have opted to go in another direction from the original pilot." Hmph".
A scooper on a Blog mentioned this a few days back. "Just arrived back from the Quo'toth con which Amy was a guest. She was soo lovely and just brill. Amy told us though that CBS has recasted her role in 'The Unit', couldn't believe it when she told us. Sooo looking forward to seeing that and Amy was really disappointed as she would have started filming next week. Bastards CBS", says the post. "Also Amy said that she was talking to Joss [Whedon] a couple of weeks ago and he said movies are definately on the cards, just don't know when".
The Hour long show, which looks at the life of Delta Force agents, is scheduled for mid-season. It stars Scott Foley and Dennis Haysbert.

Business Leaders & Finance Ministers Changing the Conversation to Drive Clean Investment
Executives from Alstom, the Swedish pension fund AP4, Deutsche Bank, and the French pension fund ERAFP joined finance ministers for an informal climate ministerial discussion about carbon pricing during this year's World Bank Group/IMF Annual Meetings. After the meeting, Rachel Kyte, the World Bank Group's vice president & special envoy for climate change, described the conversation and some of the takeaways.
The Longer World Waits to Address Climate Change, the Higher the Cost
In September, the world's top scientists said the human influence on climate was clear. Last month, they warned of increased risks of a rapidly warming planet to our economies, environment, food supply, and global security. Today, the latest report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describes what we need to do about it.
The report, focused on mitigation, says that global greenhouse gas emissions were rising faster in the last decade than in the previously three, despite reduction efforts. Without additional mitigation efforts, we could see a temperature rise of 3.7 to 4.8 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times by the end of this century. The IPCC says we can still limit that increase to 2 degrees, but that will require substantial technological, economic, institutional, and behavioral change.
Let's translate the numbers. For every degree rise, that equates to more risk, especially for the poor and most vulnerable.
Growing Enough Nutritious Food Amid Climate Change
International Green Week in Berlin, the world's largest exhibition for agriculture, food, and horticulture, is the sort of place where you can taste food from all over the world, see animals of all shapes and sizes (ever heard of a Pustertaler Schecken?), and explore the latest innovations in GPS-guided agricultural machinery. The event attracts not only 400,000 curious visitors, it also draws global decision-makers from government, the private sector, science, and civil society, including some 70 ministers of agriculture.
Established in 1926, this event could probably make a reasonable claim that it has seen it all before. But, of course, it hasn't. This year, the focus was on resilience.
The already present impacts of climate change are demanding innovation and partnership in agriculture on a scale never seen before. It is not an academic discussion about some uncertain future – it is posing challenges to farmers today, and it's having an impact on their bottom lines.
Why Stories Matter
When Jane Otai said there are flying toilets in slums of Nairobi, most of her audience, like me, was trying to figure out what she meant.
A few others laughed softly. Because there are no toilets, she said, "people just do it [in bags] and throw it on the rooftops." And it is really difficult for women and girls, she added.
Are Super Farms the Solution to the World's Food Insecurity Challenge? Ten Questions You Need to Ask Yourself
Join me in a Twitter Chat on why global food prices remain high on Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. ET/15:00 GMT. I'll be tweeting from @worldbanklive with hashtag #foodpriceschat. Ask questions beforehand with hashtag #foodpriceschat. Looking forward to seeing you on Twitter.
Today there are 842 million who are hungry. As the global population approaches 9 billion by 2050, demand for food will keep increasing, requiring sustained improvement in agricultural productivity. Where will these productivity increases come from? For decades, small-scale family farming was widely thought to be more productive and more efficient in reducing poverty than large-scale farming. But now advocates of large-scale agriculture point to its advantages in leveraging huge investments and innovative technologies as well as its enormous export potential. Critics, however, highlight serious environmental, animal welfare, social and economic concerns, especially in the context of fragile institutions. The often outrageous conditions and devastating social impacts that "land grabs" bring about are well known, particularly in severely food-insecure countries.
So, is large-scale farming—particularly the popularly known "super farms"—the solution to food demand challenges? Or is it an obstacle? Here are the 10 key questions you need to ask yourself to better understand this issue. I have tried to address them in the latest issue of Food Price Watch.

For 75 years, Little League has strived to provide children with healthy and safe baseball and softball opportunities. Little League would like to congratulate Major League Baseball and USA Baseball for the launch of their new Pitch Smart campaign, as we continue to work together to make baseball a safe, fun sport for all children.
The Pitch Smart program is a collaborative effort to encourage youth baseball pitchers to adhere to strict pitch count limits with mandatory day's rest. The program follows the same guidelines that Little League established in 2006 to protect young arms. Both Little League's pitch count regulations and the Pitch Smart program directly benefited from the insight and expertise of Dr. James Andrews, notable orthopedic surgeon and a member of Little League International Board of Directors, and his colleague, Dr. Glenn Fleisig, also of the American Sports Medicine Institute. Dr. Andrews recently wrote about the importance of putting the baseball glove down for Little League's The Parent Connection.
"The issue of arm safety is something we take very seriously here at Little League," said Stephen D. Keener, Little League President and CEO. "We are thrilled to see the launch of the Pitch Smart campaign, and Little League looks forward to continuing to work with Major League Baseball and USA Baseball to enhance the safety of the sport for all its young participants."
After several years of research, Little League launched its pitch count program in 2006. With limits set for different amounts of pitches for different age groups, Little League has been diligent in protecting young arms since establishing strict pitching rules based on Dr. Andrews' research. With many baseball players participating in Little League and other youth baseball programs, it is important for parents and coaches to use the Pitch Smart campaign and the Little League pitch count program to ensure young pitching arms stay safe.
Little League strongly encourages all Little League volunteers, parents, and officials to review PitchSmart.org and share it with others.
Ankeny Little League is looking for community members who want to volunteer their time to help run one of the best organizations in Ankeny. Ankeny Little League serves over 1200 youth, and it takes many great volunteers to make a season happen. If you are interested in serving on the board, or if you want more information about volunteering, please contact League President Shawn Wolfe.

Album Rating: 4.0When the drums come in at the minute mark, I gets a bit o' da chills. The verses are just about perfect for me. I could see how it would screw with you when the drums drop out at the beginning of the chorus, but I still like the general flow and feel of the song. The ending is a bit odd though. It's too bad the guitarist didn't do an actual solo instead of just mimicking Stephen's vocals on the chorus.
I definitely like Unstable and Safe Here better than the other two. The other two are fun, but I don't find myself coming back to them too often. The verses on Said Too Much are great, but the chorus pretty much falls flat for me.
Album Rating: 4.5Unstable is great.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffUnstable should replace Otherside or Innocent
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffAlso GD&S is underrated. Easily the best on the record.
Album Rating: 4.0I love Other Side. The chorus is so great.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Offyeah the chorus is good but very repetitive
Album Rating: 4.5dat guitar riff in the chorus of Other Side though
Album Rating: 4.5But Stephan in Modern Age!
Album Rating: 3.5just discovered these guys... I've been missing out on a lot all these years, these guys are great
Album Rating: 4.5Stephen's performance in the verses of Modern Age is among his best, agreed.
Album Rating: 4.5One of my favourite Anberlin songs is Modern Age.
Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound OffModern Age is my secondfav in the album. i just dont like how over produced his voice is in the chorus. it sticks out like a sore thumb.
Album Rating: 4.5Agreed. I found I'm not a huge fan of his delivery either. Like
"Don't we all"
"want to be loved"

frost!! need cover?
I planted my potted figs out in the ground a week ago when the temps were 70+ day, 50+ night. The temps last night fell down to 30-32. I can see some frost burn on the leaves this morning.
There is a frost and potential SNOW forecasted for the weekend in our area. Would covering them with frost blanket be enough, or should I do major cover up with burlap - as if for over-wintering?
You took them out so early. Mine were out for the weather you mentioned but they are back in the garage. I am hearing that the week-end will be sub-zero degree weather with snow. It is crazy weather. I am planning to hang Xmas lights on my apricot trees to protect the flowers.
In my area, we got lucky. Temps last night only got to 36. I did tote many of my precious 1 and 2 gallon tree back in the greenhouse. But I also left many outside....no damage. But my Violette de Bourdeaux trees did look sad this morning. Temps did reach 65 today but back down to 44s at night. I'm going to leave those in my GH there for another week or least till temps get back up to 75 again.
If mine i would cover very well with several blankets- But
also consider the longer term forecast, if temps are going to stay cold for a while it may be best to do the complete protection otherwise a whole season could be disappointment with no figs at all.
Going to about 20 here tonight with frost forecast for next 5 nights.
Much different than last spring here by me.
The forecast here in our area it dip to 30 or low 30 from Saturday to Monday. I add a day or two as margin of errors I say let stay safe and leave it in teh Garage. I hanged out-door Xmas lights on my Apricot trees which is full with beautiful white flowers and I am getting worried.
Hello Jollyrd,
I live in Richmond and have about 15 fig trees that I have put in the ground about a week ago. What I did is I covered them with clear plastic bags. Checked on it this morning and I don�t think they really liked the cold few nights that we had here in Richmond but I think they will survive. I will uncover them Tuesday morning and hope for the best. What kind of fig trees did you put in the ground this spring and what are the best performers for you? I have about 50+ varieties that I have acquired over 3 years and always looking for some more�..just can�t stop :-)
Thank you,
uh, I would NOT cover them with plastic or let the plastic TOUCH the actual tree. I wrapped figs with with burlap, and pomegranates with thick frost blanket. Have not dared to look at them yet. We should have 25F tonight and tomorrow night. So wait till Wed to uncover.
For some weird reason, my dogs kept pulling the frost blanket from one of the poms and using it as a rug for themselves. Had to re-cover it twice and teach dogs a lesson.
I have Kadota and Latarulla figs. And three poms - one Russian and two from Azerbaijan. You must have a lot of space!
I try to plant them close to each other (4 feet) and keep them small because I want to fit a lot of trees in the small space. I will pull the plastic off today because the leafs are turning light yellow maybe because of the plastic touching the leafs. I should have waited few weeks before planting them outside but this weather has tricked me to do so. I have one Kadota from Lowes and it grew very slow last season, but the Kadota that I gave to my father grew about 5 feet and had about 15 figs on it the first year.

Roast Penguin, Scurvy Day, and Other Stories of Antarctic Cuisine
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
Antarctica, the last place on Earth, is not famous for its cuisine. Yet it is famous for stories of heroic expeditions in which hunger was the one spice everyone carried. At the dawn of Antarctic cuisine, cooks improvised under inconceivable hardships, castaways ate seal blubber and penguin breasts while fantasizing about illustrious feasts, and men seeking the South Pole stretched their rations to the breaking point. Today, Antarctica's kitchens still wait for provisions at the far end of the planet's longest supply chain. Scientific research stations serve up cafeteria fare that often offers more sustenance than style. Jason C. Anthony, a veteran of eight seasons in the U.S. Antarctic Program, offers a rare workaday look at the importance of food in Antarctic history and culture.
Anthony's tour of Antarctic cuisine takes us from hoosh (a porridge of meat, fat, and melted snow, often thickened with crushed biscuit) and the scurvy-ridden expeditions of Shackleton and Scott through the twentieth century to his own preplanned three hundred meals (plus snacks) for a two-person camp in the Transantarctic Mountains. The stories in Hoosh are linked by the ingenuity, good humor, and indifference to gruel that make Anthony's tale as entertaining as it is enlightening.

i can think of no better way to kick off before & after day than with a gorgeous makeunder from d*s reader lauren g. for all of the people who panic whenever wood is painted, this one's for you.
lauren was lucky enough to inherit some beautiful mahogany furniture from her neighbor but was bummed to see it had been painted over with a green antiqued finish that was chipped and worn. determined to reveal the beauty of the original wood, lauren stripped and refinished each piece to bring back the natural shine of the mahogany. even though i'm not in the "never paint wood camp", i am firmly in support of projects like that where someone puts time and effort in to restore something to its original glory. well done, lauren!
[have a before & after you'd like to share on d*s? just shoot me an email right here with your images!]
Gwaaah, so pretty! Thanks for sharing. I look at those lovely pieces and wonder how anyone could ever paint them! I guess it's obvious which camp I'm in. :)
Wow – great end result. That definitely took some patience, time and love, well done!
I have to admit I liked the shabby green paint, but recognize an amazing restoration job when I see one. The wood looks beautiful =)
Lauren, would you mind sharing some of the process here? I have my own paint stripping and refinishing project (though of a much smaller scale) that I have been putting off. Thanks, and they look great!
geez! i'm in the "always paint wood" category (after a particularly horrible wood-stripping experience)….but that is BEAUTIFUL. so impressive. great work!!!
WOW! I am soooo impressed. The wood looks brand new!
wow, she put in some SERIOUS work. Wonder how long that took her, start to finish?
Wow, beautiful!
Yeah, would love to hear more on the stripping process. Nice work!
That is effing amazing. My mind is blown. Talk about transforming old shabby chic into something of incredible worth! Well done.
homegirl must be a wood pro! well done. these look amazing!
WOW! this is stunning and gorgeous and SO inspiring!
Amazing. I just can't find a good paint stripper that works. Lauren, please tell us more about the process of restoring wood and the products you use!!
beautiful! I would have liked to see some different hardware though.
wow, so beautiful! I would have liked to have seen different harware though.
1000x better! The wood is just glowing. Love it!
Wowza, they look brand new! She must be super proud…
get out of town! great job…although now that i know it can be undone i'm painting my wood furniture ;)
1. The greens look pretty different from the first picture (which I kind of like) to the stripping pictures (which are ugh green).
2. LOVELY! I'm not anti-painted-wood either, but it's nice to see the reverse makeover for a change. Especially when it's done so well.
Thanks for sharing!
Her hard work is evident…sadly, I think it was prettier the other way.
What type of furniture is it? My parents have similar pieces with the asparagus tops.
Beautiful after! She did a fantastic job.
Seriously, why would have anyone wanted to cover up beautiful wood!?! The grain pattern in mahagony is beautiful, especially when left its natural color (this goes for any wood for that matter). I am a purest when i come to wood…it should be left its natural color, its beauty should never be masked by stain or paint (paint maybe if it is in bad shape).
Anywho, beautiful restoration!
This girl knows what she is doing!
Painted wood furniture can be beautiful – just try to make sure the wood species is Pine. Various wood species (with the right stain) are so beautiful – mahogany, Oak, and my favorite Maple should not be painted. I challenge folks to head on over to your local DIY Store and explore the different colors stain comes in. Wood stain does not have to mean dark 1970's Walnut paneling.
In fact there is this TV show on HGTV where they are FOREVER installing painted Maple kitchen Cabinets. Maple is EXPENSIVE – If you gonna have painted cabinets buy PINE or MDF. Gesh! sorry for my rant.
Wow. Those pieces turned out so beautifully!
Wow. Very inspiring!
definitely prefer it restored back to it's original glory. SO beautiful – well done!
picks jaw off of ground. the mahogany makeover is amazing!!
i have almost the same exact pieces, headboard, footboard, and two dressers passed down from my grandmother. they're all mahogany and have never been painted over. lauren's incredible work made them look exactly like mine – as if they had never been touched with a paintbrush! beautiful work.
Wow- how beautiful!
(raises hand) I'm one of those people! No painting wood unless absolutely necessary, and then only a subtle color. These pieces are stunning! Lauren, color me impressed. :)
(raises hand) I'm one of those people! No painting wood, ever, unless absolutely necessary (and even then I'll only use a very subtle color). These pieces are stunning! Lauren, color me impressed. :)
my first reaction (honestly) was "holy crap!"
Wow, that looks amazing! I want to paint almost everything I see, and it makes both my boyfriend and my mother cry a little inside. But I can appreciate beautiful wood and hard work. Yay, Lauren!!
I have been refinishing wood for years- so much more beautiful. However, I think this was overdone. By taking out all of the imperfections in the wood it has lost character and a sense of history. Sadly it looks cheapened and not like an heirloom piece. Next time just strip, don't sand away the nicks and dings!
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!!
I'm with Sofia- lovely but it looks too new and thus…not the most interesting. I've stripped wood before, but left the scratches and hard to get paint specks. Love the aged history so much more. Plus I'm reminded of my childhood when I first painted the furniture, haha!
I'm in the only paint Pine camp.
This is beautiful! I too have a project to strip and refinish and would love to know what method she used. No complaints or criticisms from me!
Great Job!
Yikes, some of y'all need to kindly remember your tact and manners like your momma taught you!
That restoration must have taken some SERIOUS work- I'm very impressed. I would love to know how she stripped around the details, if there's a trick to it or (more likely) just tedious difficult work?
There's just no pleasing you people, is there?!
after 5 years of blogging and moderating comments i've learned that there is indeed no way to please everyone ;)
Wow! Having stripped 1 1/2 dressers (I haven't finished the second) I can appreciate how much time it takes. Lovely job!
Lovely work- count me in with those who would love to know how Lauren did it! I have a wonderful china cabinet that my mom "antiqued" in the '70s- judging from the back of the piece (which she left unfinished), the wood is beautiful. It's been a goal of mine to restore the cabinet, so I would really appreciate learning about Lauren's methods and materials… and how long the process takes!
I love painted wood, but I can not get over how gorgeous this project looks. The pieces look brand new thanks to Lauren's hard work and craftspersonship. Thank you for sharing this!
I would have to say Gorgeous, just gorgeous and I love painted furniture, but I think she did an amazing job!!!
WOW! That looks amazing, I feel so inspired to start a furniture project! Something I have been thinking about for YEARS! Thanks!
I'm a big fan of painted furniture too but the bed in particular looks absolutely stunning in the after-shots. A lot of the time wooden pieces aren't made with beautiful wood and then I think they are begging to be painted! These pieces look beautiful in their more natural state but would also look fantastic in a high gloss white or even a bright color.
My favorite part of design is that it doesn't HAVE to follow rules. Painted or unpainted, everything can be reinterpreted to suit the tastes and imagination of the owner.
yay a wood preserver! it's so satisfying to strip paint. especially when it comes off in big pieces. like peeling an orange. ;)
Hey all,
Thank you for the comments and constructive criticism. I appreciate it because I intend to do more furniture projects soon. For those of you who were wondering… the materials I used were Kwik paint stripper- there are two kinds gel and marine. I recommend using the gel first to get the heavy paint off because it sits on the wood as opposed to running off which the marine does. then use the marine to get the leftover paint and any old stains that may be on the wood. Then I used denatured alcohol to get all the finger prints off. I chose a mahogany gel stain- with gel stain you have to work quickly so it all blends- this way a good choice for my wood because some parts of the bed were composed of various pieces of wood- this united them in color. Then I finished iwith polyurathane for protection. The tools I used ranged from old screw drivers, oyster knives. and dental picks. I would suggest picking tools particular to your project. Also, remember to wear long pants, long sleeves and protective eyewear when working with the paint stripper because the chemicals in it are strong and can burn your skin.
Thanks again for the comments!
Good luck with your own furniture projects!
Beautiful…a labor of love!!
Whoops, Correction! I meant to say that the gel paint stripper is called marine, then there's the liquid paint stripper.
Also I wanted to mention that the antique and historic quality of the wood is still apparent in the furniture, when I showed my elderly neighbor the finished product she was in tears saying that it looked just like it did when she bought it in 1941. She even noticed that the cigar mark from her first husband was still in the top of the dresser! The original sticker from the when the furniture was delivered is still intact on the back of the dresser. :-)
Whoa! That is beautiful!!! Nice work!
UNbelievable! Beautiful.
Just lovely…
Lauren, I appreciate the context you included, that the furniture was from your neighbor, and that you're an amateur who wanted to restore it for your own personal use. The results look beautiful enough to be in a professional mag! And you still preserved the history of the pieces. Way to go, girl, and thanks for inspiring us!!
Absolutely amazing. It looks brand new, great job! Just curious… any estimation as to how long the whole project took?
I myself have seen this furniture in person and the pictures do it justice but not as much as it truly deserves…it is beautiful laur good work!
I myself have seen this furniture in person and the pictures do it justice but not nearly as much as it truly deserves…it is beautiful laur good work!
Cheers to you, Lauren! The pieces came out magnificently.
The entire set took me the whole summer to complete, working on it a few days a week for a few hours every day. The set included dresser, head board, foot board, vanity, two mirrors and a vanity chair. The detail in the wood and the many steps were time consuming but totally worth it!
Would have never believed such beautiful wood was under that ugly green paint. Wow!
Wood is good. My mother refinished a beautiful red maple set for me when I was sixteen, still love it (and the love she put into it). She said, " the wood is like your clean face in the morning, shining and full of life". Now I always look at wood that way.
Although I prefer the look of the pre-refinishing (but that is just my personal preference) I have to commend you Lauren on such an amazing, amazing transformation. My tastes aside, it's a great makeover!
Ps., and i love the story about your neighbours reaction when she saw the pieces! So sweet!
Just breathtaking! (…and i would have painted it)
I, too, loved the green color before it was stripped. That said, she did an excellent job.
If I bought those pieces I'd probably paint them right away though – beautiful wood or not…
This is way longer but Lauren if your still reading this, I just want to say that I originally saw this and today as I am restarting to refinish some chairs I searched it back out. I love your careful detail directions and hearing how long it took you. It makes me feel a bit better. Thanks again!
I'm so overwhelmed! Aren't they beautiful? It's also nice to paint your own pieces and beautify it with very vulnerable colors.
What a lovely dedicated job Lauren did…I sit firmly entrenched in both camps:)
I love wood in all it's glory AND a whimsical painted look…there's a time and place for both.
Lauren did a beautiful, beautiful, job.
Thanks so much Lauren for the tips.
The headboard is stunning!

Use armoires to set the tone and style of a room
Somewhere between 1950 and 1990, armoires stopped being attractive storage and display cabinets and became entertainment centers.
With the invention of affordable flat-screen TVs, people abandoned their armoires and started mounting their televisions on the wall. Thrift shops were overrun with used armoires, and many furniture manufacturers dropped them from their product line.
Designers have always understood that the armoire provided more than just an attractive way to hide the TV; it also gave height and dimension to the room.
For an interior space to be really interesting, your eye needs to flow up and down as well as horizontally as it surveys the space. Without taller, more stately furniture pieces or built-ins, the view is flat and boring.
Armoires are tools that set the tone and style of a room's decor.
Homeowners are now rediscovering the value of the armoire and its tremendous functionality. Furniture manufacturers are responding to this renewed interest in armoires by creating beautiful home furnishing pieces in a wide range of sizes, finishes and styles.
As houses get smaller, storage becomes an issue. Unlike open shelving, armoires provide storage that can be hidden from view but easily accessed.
In a kitchen, an antique armoire can be painted a fun color and become a handy pantry or dish cupboard. In a bedroom it can function as an additional closet for storing clothing, shoes, accessories or jackets. In the bath it adds height to a space and becomes the perfect storage solution for towels, linens and toiletry items.
Pay attention to scale when selecting an armoire. What fits nicely into your living room may overwhelm your kitchen or bathroom.
Consider the width and the height of the piece. You want at least 10 inches between the top of the piece and your ceiling to avoid it looking like it's stuffed into place. Keep the depth narrow enough that it doesn't interfere with your walkways. The width will depend on how much wall space you have.
My personal preference is pairing two armoires, one on each side of the room. Anchor the space between them by placing artwork or a decorative mirror over a sofa or long table.
If you have the space, consider using them to frame a room's architectural element such as a fireplace or wide window or doorway.
It is hard to believe that such a versatile piece of furniture could have fallen out of favor for almost two decades. Thank goodness we have rediscovered its value. The armoire is a room transformer and storage solver.

To ensure that their content is helping reach business goals, enterprises need a smart, third-platform Web Content Management System that uses data and metrics to continuously optimize their content's performance.
Understanding Content Performance helps you personalize the digital experience even at the anonymous visitor. Measuring and understanding which content is being consumed in real time, in combination with contextual data, helps you resonate with your visitor before the email address is captured, earlier in the funnel-- before marketing automation plays a role.
Hippo, a leading Web Content Management System provider, today announced enhanced interoperability with EMC® Documentum®, as part of its participation in the EMC Business Partner Program for Technology Connect Partners.
Java. You can't beat the classic when it comes to development languages for an enterprise-level content management system (ECM). Compared to .NET, PHP, or C# Java is still the top development language for its reliability, stability and suitability for "building back-ends for modern enterprise-web applications. With Java and frameworks based on it, web developers can build scalable web apps for a variety of users.
Metrics are becoming increasingly important for content marketing. Simply measuring visitors or users, and displaying the results in colored graphics is no longer sufficient. What should you be measuring and what should you do with it? It's all about the metadata when it comes to effective content marketing.

A tip, Tip Speed.
Do you use a stick blender?
It occurred to me that I can share this tip with you:
What makes a blender work is the difference between the speed of the blades' tip and what you are trying to blend. The bigger the difference, the better the end result. An expensive counter top blender can achieve over 30,000 RPM.
A hand stick blender cannot go very fast because of portability and low power. Most of them are about 15,000 RPM. A stick blender goes much slower inside a liquid, especially thick liquid, probably less than 8,000 RPM.
You can get much better end results for blending if you try this technique, even with blending a thick liquid:
With the blender turned on, insert the blender in and out of the liquid. When the blender is out of the liquid, it achieves max blade speed immediately. When you plunge the blender at max speed into the liquid, the liquid is at 0 speed, maximum blending occurs. Very quickly, the blade slows down by the liquid, then you lift the blender out of the liquid again. In and out, in and out, keep repeating.
I don't use my stick blender very often,
But for whatever reason,
When I do use it,
That's how I do it.
I have no idea why I've always done it like that,
I certainly never gave any thought to it.
It just seems to be my automatic action.
Just as always making sure that whatever I am blending
Is in a container that is deep enough
That my whole kitchen doesn't get coated.
It always seemed to work better
But I didn't have the technical knowledge
to explain it and make it a viable tip.
Thanks for sharing!
DC, but bringing the blade up and out of the liquid, clearing the surface is not advised. In fact, most stick blenders come with instructions which advise keeping the blade below surface. Lifting it out is an accident waiting to happen. Not only will it splash all over, as Jasdip mentioned but it is also a good way to get a burn if you are blending hot liquid.
If you and Rusty haven't had this problem you have been lucky.
I keep the blade angled just under the surface and find the stick blender very efficient. There is a major difference though between stick blenders. I had one that wasn't very good. Just 200 watts. I have a Braun with 400 watts. And I think there are new stick blenders with over 500 watts.
Ann - You just made me check my stick blender, a mere ONE hundred watts. Sounds like I'm missing out, but it's still strong enough to splatter the walls!
Rusty - 90% of sharing a tip is knowing that you have a tip to share. I think that, not "technical knowledge," is what you were lacking if you "never gave any thought to it" and it's just the way you've "always done it." I'd go so far as to suggest sometimes it's better to offer a tip "just because it works" rather than give a reason for it, since reasons are more apt to be challenged!
I do take things for granted sometimes. I should have also mentioned that you should use a tall enough vessel if you don't want to re-decorate your kitchen.
Give it a try with plain water, it will take a couple of minutes and you will see that it will not splatter.
Don't squash this idea until you have tried it.
Ann, FOAS, wattage rating in appliances can be complicated and misleading. I am not going to explain that here. For a blender, rotation speed is obviously very important. There is a reason why not too many blenders tell you their RPM, because they don't want you to know and compare. You can have a hundred horse power motor that only rotates at 100 RPM, and that will not be a very good extremely powerful blender.
You will also notice that most immersion blenders do not have ventilation holes like a counter top blender. Where does the heat go? 500 watts is over 1300 BTUs of heat that needs to go some place.
Posted by Lindac "Any motor will run faster when it's not doing "work"....everything from a stand mixer to a stick blender to a chain saw to a car running out of gear."
But in this technique, the motor is working very hard. When you lift the blender out of the liquid, the motor immediately gains speed. The speed is stored "Potential Energy" in the motor's rotor mass, just like a flywheel in a steam engine. The stored (momentum) energy is the key why this "in and out" technique works.
Did someone say "Squash"?
I made a kabocha squash soup, so creamy smooth with a hand blender. :-)
I don't think I have used the tall vessel that my immersion blender came with ever. I use a hand blender when I need to whip cream, make mayo,etc. I use the immersion blender in stock pots and pans with hot soups and sauces. That way you don't have to transfer hot liquids to the food processor to puree. It's a safety issue. Best to keep it under whatever you are pureeing, at least imo. NancyLouise
Thank you, Dcarch, for sharing your tip. I think I've used that method, too, also not knowing why. I just move the blender around, up and down, (Where's evil Jessy? lol) to make sure I puree whatever it is I want to puree. I don't always want to completely puree it. My stick blender was an estate sale buy - a Braun that I think DH paid $4 for. I have no idea how powerful it is, but it does the job.
I love your squash dish. What great plating!

46-0-0 fertilizer
I have some urea 46-0-0. I want to know if anyone can tell me how much to add to how much water & how much to apply to feed garlic & onions.
Thank you
OK! Nitrogen should be used with caution. Too much of it will do more harm than good.
Lets do a comparative math. 46% of what is in the bag is pure Nitrogen.
Say, you take two ounces and add two ounces of water to it, you will have,
roughllt a 23-0-0 liquid fertilizer. I will then use about two TBLSP of that solution per gallon of water.
This should fairy compare to liquid tertilizers sold in the bottle. Avoid foliar feeding.
I alway use fertilizers diluted to about 1/3 of the recommended and use it more frequently instead.
This way I avoid getting too much foliage, the excess is not leached down and wasted.
What cyrus said. You can always add more later, say in two or three weeks after you see what the first gentler application did. Fertilizer companies are trying to sell you MORE fertilizer for profit. Start slow, be cautious. Start fast, fry your plants. Urea is one of the "hottest" fertilizers.

HC allows GCMMF to go ahead with no-trust against chairman

The Gujarat High Court (HC) on Monday allowed Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) to implement a no-confidence motion passed by its board members against its chairman Vipul Chaudhary. At the same time, the court has stayed its own order till January 11, following a request by Chaudhary's lawyers that they want to challenge the order before a division bench of the court.
A single-judge bench of HC, comprising Justice Paresh Upadhyay, passed an order in this regard while also referring a legal issue whether the board members could pass the no-confidence motion against the federation chairman or not in absence of a legal provision in that regard to a division bench.
Chaudhary's counsel, B B Naik, said that the court has allowed GCMMF to implement the no-confidence motion. "However, since we wanted to challenge the order before a division bench of the court, the single-judge bench has stayed its own order till January 11, by when we have to move the appeal. We will move the appeal in a day or two," Naik said.
He added that the court, meanwhile, has referred the legal issue whether the board members of the federation could move a no-confidence motion against its chairman in absence of a legal provision to that effect. "The reference will now be referred to a division bench of HC to independently decide the issue," he said.
The issue has already witnessed multiple litigations at different courts, including the Supreme Court. On October 23, 14 of the 17 board members of the federation had called the meeting to pass a no-confidence motion against Chaudhary. However, Chaudhary had challenged the same before HC and a single-judge bench of the court had granted him stay on the meeting. Later, the court had further extended the stay till final disposal of Chaudhary's petition as an interim relief.

Soulja Boy - Crank Dat Soulja Boy (Supaman Dat Hoe)
Artist: Soulja Boy
Producer: DeAndre Way, Young Kwon
Album: Souljaboytellem
Avg Rating: 4.3 ( 129 votes )
Backed by former Ying Yang Twins producer, Mr. Collipark, Chicago-born and Atlanta-raised rapper Soulja Boy is looking to turn his independent success into mainstream riches. Scheduled to perform in more than 10 states this summer, Soulja Boy will inevitably invade a city near you and brainwash its inhabitants to do his catchy new song and dance, Crank Dat Soulja Boy (Supaman Dat Hoe). Although the beat sounds an awful like DG Yola's Ain't Gon Let Up, Soulja Boy easily takes the rhythm to a new level with a extra boost of energy and a very distinct vocal tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
I refinanced with CapCenter earlier this year. Am I eligible to refinance again? Would the paperwork be the same?
Since you are paying for my closing costs, would it be advantageous for me to pay points to get a better interest rate?
I am looking to refinance a second home. Do I need to fill out a new application if I refinanced with CapCenter before?
How much cash will I need at closing, i.e., which costs/fees can be included in the loan amount at closing?
Can the closing cost given from the online calculator including PMI, tax, and insurance be figured into the loan or taken out of the cash out amount?
Would we be able to roll the closing costs into the loan and get the closing costs back when we get the loan?

I liked that they made their attitudes a bit more modern as compared to the novel.
Enjoyed watching this movie again. Wanted to watch it after reading - March - earlier in the year.
Entertaining and a great cast!
More languid and less tension than the book. Shot hereabouts: you can spot some locations if you look carefully. (Berlin work would not be done in a hoop.)
The cast does a pretty good job of restraint considering the fluffy, melodramatic sentimentality of the plot. Gabriel Byrne's miscasting as Friedrich Bhaer spoils the ending.
Delightful movie. Very sweet and thoroughly entertaining.

Are any of these conifers from Lowes worth buying?
I've heard about the economic problems that many nurseries are facing and that big box stores are grabbing up their merchandise. As a result, I've been on the lookout for unusual plants at the local Home Depot and Lowes. I have seen some unusual things there this year, including Pinus Parviflora, Vanderwolf's pyramid, weeping white pine, and others. If I had the room in my yard, I would have snatched up the Parviflora (half considered yanking a white pine out of the earth to plant it), but I digress.
Today at Lowes, I saw the following plants, and I was wondering if any of them are desireable and unusual for big box stores (it was my first time seeing them here locally):
1) Lemon Twist False Cypress
2) Golden Glow Juniper
3) Serbian Spruce
Those would be unusual for my Lowe's and Home Depot. I did see the Pinus Parviflora at HD last year and the Vanderwolf at Menards this year. I do love the Pinus Parvs. I would take that over the standard white pine.
Out of the three you mentioned, I would only go with the the Spruce. And that's only if you are looking for an evergreen that eventually gets large. The other two don't excite me much. The Cypress is an unusual cultivar, but it is so similiar to all the other yellow cypress'.
Not sure how well the Chamaecyparis will do for you, but that would be one I'd grab. I'd argue that it is NOT all that similar to other yellow cypresses in that it is crested (or the growing tips congested/fasciated), hence the "twist" portion of the cultivar name, and the yellow coloring is only on the new growth so it provides a rather two-toned appearance. A very handsome and unique smaller Hinoki -- I have an excellent specimen myself :-)
Often the issue with buying these plants from somewhere like Lowes or Home Depot is that they may be rootbound and do not receive adequate attention. If you can buy fresh off the truck and ensure a proper rootball, they can be a good deal. My 'Lemon Twist' was not an inexpensive plant, even with my nursery discount.
Thanks for the insight, everyone!
I wish I had room for the Serbian Spruce, but unfortunately I do not.
Gardengal, all the plants are container grown, and are most likely pot bound, but I can slice the root ball apart prior to planting. Lowes has racks full of the lemon twist false cypress. I like the look of them. I think I will pick a few up. They are only like 7 bucks.
for 7 bucks.. get them ...kill them when you get tired of them.. though i doubt you will ...
but unless you have a few acres.. skip the serbian ... way to aggressive for most of suburbia ... in other words.. you were right in that conclusion ...
I have looked for something interesting at my local Home Depots without really finding anything. I guess I better go to Lowes! (Almost went there yesterday for their Earth Day tree give away, but didn't make it.)
I would love to get one of those 'Lemon Twist' specimens, though I don't know that they would be offering it here. For $7 I would be more than happy to see if I could get it to survive here in Colorado!
Cool find for you, anyway, johnplace!
Just a yellow threadleaf cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera ctv.) and not all that exciting, at least in my opinion :-) For $7 bucks, I'd pick up the Lemon Twists for sure and enjoy them for however long they lasted - that's a great deal!! That's less than the wholesale price we have to pay our regular vendor. I have to travel a ways to find a Lowes but it may be worth it for that :-)
Well, here's the deal. I saw the "lemon twist" last week at one of the many lunchtime excursions I made to the big box stores. Then, this weekend, up at Lowes, I saw "lemon thread" and just assumed it was the same plant, mistaking the word thread for twist because I wasn't paying attention. I went back up to Lowes this morning and all they had were the lemon thread. So, now I have to figure out which of the 3 stores I visited last week has the lemon twist. It could be another Lowes or one of two different Home Depots. So it looks like I'll be spending my lunch hour tomorrow running around on a plant hunt!
