One Opportunity Missed, One Opportunity Seized
And now for some "never thought we'd type that in our entire lives" news before we dive into today's post. Remember when we Instagrammed this (well, I guess technically we Regrammed it) back in May? It was from our day of shooting a little segment with the OWN crew (as in Oprah's crew). #ahhhhhh #more screaming
Well, that "short film" is airing this Sunday! It'll be on towards the end of their Super Soul Sunday season premiere (info here) and we're practically ready to faint at the possibility of Oprah saying our names out loud. Seriously, somebody get me a fan, a ruffled dress, and a chaise lounge so I can dramatically swoon.
But now back to the opportunities that we seized and missed. First the one that we missed (I'm a "tell me the bad news first" kinda girl). A few blocks away from us we noticed that a neighbor was mid-renovation (the sizable dumpster in their driveway was our first clue). One day we spotted a bunch of outdoor furniture peeking out over its top edge. Was that some chunky wicker Restoration-Hardware-ish stuff? And some iron chairs and a table? Why was it in the dumpster? It looked to be in good condition. Could this be our new sunroom furniture?
Our brains started fantasizing a trash-to-treasure rescue story. Maybe a little cleaning or rust-removing spray paint was all they needed? But then again, maybe they were in the trash pile for good reason. And would it be super awkward to knock on a stranger's door and ask to raid their dumpster? Oh, but it would suck for salvageable stuff to go to waste…
We spent a couple of days trying to decide if our idea was genius or crazy. Would the neighbors think we were thoughtful or out of our minds? Finally I decided we should just satisfy our curiosity and ask. No sooner had I mustered the courage did John burst my bubble: "I meant to tell you, I noticed on the way back from preschool that the dumpster had been emptied." $herdog = sad clown. I know it could have just been old broken furniture anyway, but now I'll never know. I guess I'll have to find another dumpster to dive into…
But in other "hey-what-are-the-neighbors-up-to?" news (here comes the good part) the family two doors down is in the midst of some major landscaping work involving all sorts of awesome things like an outdoor fireplace and a stone patio. We love them and Burger is even on decent terms with their dog which is a small animal miracle because Burger only likes cats. Anyway, we don't have anything major that needs to be done (yet) but it did give us one of those "since you're in the neighborhood" ideas. The tree work that we had done a few months back left us with some high spots, some low spots, and some grass-won't-grow-on-that-pile-of-ground-tree-stump spots. Photos don't do the ankle-breaking-potential justice. At their worst there were some areas that were about 15″ off (either too high or too low) so don't let what look like small piles fool you. We're talking about 30 wheelbarrows full o' mulch in that mound on the right.
We had been meaning to slowly-but-surely wheelbarrow out the piles ourselves, but we eventually came to the conclusion that this was a job for some heavier duty equipment. We considered renting some sort of mini earthmoving dozer (um, John would be in heaven) but even the smallest dozer rental was $425 a day from local rental places like this. So we thought it couldn't hurt to ask the guys pushing dirt around just two doors down, right?
I strolled down there one afternoon, found someone who appeared to be in charge, and asked if they had an opening in their schedule to roll up the street and roll around on our yard a little. We figured it'd be easier (i.e. cheaper) than calling another company who would have to lug their equipment all the way over just for us, and hopefully they'd like the idea of earning some extra cash whenever they had a spare moment to stop by. They were very friendly and, more importantly, totally game. They said we'd have to get Miss Utility to mark our yard first (so they didn't hit any pipes or wires in the process) so I dialed 8-1-1 and just a couple of days later the yard was marked and, fortunately, nothing was in the path of our piles.
With our yard all flagged up, we checked back in with the landscaping crew and before we knew it we had front row seats. Clara was in awe of her own personal "digger show."
The crazy thing is that what we guessed would take a few hours, literally only took the guy about thirty minutes. He was a total PRO. And John was only a little jealous.
He even scooped all of the too-acidic-to-allow-grass-to-grow-on-it mulch and rolled it into our wooded side yard before meticulously spreading it out for us in there. Can't even tell it's there, right?
After his 30 minute flattening spree he said "how about $60 for that?" and we were elated! Sure beats the time and money we would've spent renting something. Dude, our front yard is sooo much better. Okay, maybe it's still kinda brown and weedy, but at least it's flat. And flat means it's ready for grass seed!
Speaking of grass seed, we may actually get a quote from the landscaping guys (the neighbor's project still has a few weeks to go) to see how much they'd charge to drop off some top soil for us before we seed. It's not a must-have, but a fresh layer of topsoil certainly wouldn't hurt our first season of grass-growing. Plus, they mentioned we might be able to piggyback on a delivery they're bringing to the other house. Is that efficiency I smell?
So there's one moment missed and one moment grabbed and squeezed like a lemon in my sweet tea. Sidenote: How much do the end of our railings look like hamburgers? I'm tempted to paint them like this. You know, in honor of Burger.
What have you guys been noticing around the neighborhood? Now that it's getting cooler and kids are back in school it seems like a lot of people are getting house stuff done – which of course we LOVE to watch. There have been some pretty amazing new fences going up and a whole lot of house-painting. Tis the season!

My dad was known for taking usable furniture out of dumpsters/trash. He'd be out in his pickup and come home with who knows what!
I have been on the other end of neighbors poaching my construction crew. We did discuss it in advance, like you say you did in the comments, but nonetheless, the crew short changed my job for the other. My neighbors and I now discuss landscape projects in advance and use the same crew to bid and do our projects. We each get a fare rate (not one paying full the other paying under the table) and no one gets a spiff and the other short changed. I learned from being on the other end and by owning homes for decades. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but your post rubbed me wrong and as a reader, I hope I can offer this other point of view to you and others.
Our neighbors lost their home in the hurricane last year (Jersey). After months of fighting with the insurance company and months of slowly gutting the inside of their house, they are now just a few months away from an almost brand new house. It's gonna be beautiful. We hope to have them home by Christmas.
First the Nate Berkus show and now Oprah! That's really cool and I'm so excited for you! I hope you'll share all the details!
Total trash picker and not ashamed!! Heck, half the stuff in my house is a hand-me-down or a salvage!!
If Clara enjoyed the digger show, she needs to get behind the wheel of one! Bring her out to Touch a Truck on October 5th at RIR where she can explore every cool truck seen around town — bulldozers, tractors, dump trucks, big rigs, fire trucks, ambulances, bucket trucks and a bunch more. If John is like most dads that come, I suspect he'll have just as much fun as Clara!
That is so awesome about Oprah! I can't wait to watch it!! Plus those are some super tips about getting bang for your buck in landscaping!
We are having our front porch re-painted. The house is white vinyl siding, so the porch is white, too. But, I am really excited to be doing the ceiling in a light blue! Also, the doors are going green, SW Larchmere. I can't wait to see it finished!
You shouldn't be scared to ask re:dumpsters like that. We have one in our yard now and we've had three neighbors ask if they can toss in their trash (leftover wood, old door, carpet remnants) and two guys ask if they can take stuff out (bathtub, old pipes, sliding glass door, shower door). Assuming the takers were salvaging the scrap metal. Anyway…it never hurts to ask. We have a regular dumpster economy going on in our front yard!
Piggy-Backing is a GREAT way to save money! just need to keep an eye out for whats going on around the neighborhood. My husband spotted a neighbor getting their driveway sealed and asked the company if we could join in the fun. Because they were in the neighborhood, and not wanting to go back with extra materials, they said yes. Our loooong driveway was seal for $500 instead of $1000 – 50% off!! just for being a nosey neighbor!
I have been a trash furniture picker before it became blogger chic :) When my girls were younger they would ask if I was stealing and I would say no I am recycling. I have picked some great finds over the years and really cute chairs for outdoor planters and a couple that were in such great condition they have a place in my home. One time a very large piece of property down the road was being developed from a single family home to a large housing development. I picked the greatest landscaping rocks out of their very large graded dirt pile. I couldn't get to one that was so pretty so I thought I would have my husband come back the next morning and help me get it. Too late the dump truck came and took it all away for fill. So these great rocks still have a place in my garden and I think the elderly couple that lived there before they sold the house would be happy to know that those stones that they probably picked out years ago when they built there have a home in my gardens where I have lived for 23 years and plan on living at least 15 more. Who knows maybe someday someone else will take them elsewhere.
We're seeing lots of pre-winter tree work and roofing here in the Boston suburbs. And one new chicken coop! The neighborhood kids all watched it go up over the summer, and now there are half a dozen chickens to visit on the way to school in the morning. =) I want to get to some outside projects (raking, cleaning up, and marking out a real path where we generally just trample the grass) but I need to finish my hall first. (Paint is done! Woo! http://kaesey.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/mini-tour/) New lights and dimmers, and then I can decorate!
Put a sign(s) in the back window(s) of your car stating what sort of lawn furniture you want and your contact information.
This method has the advantage that many more than just your neighbors see it. If you only want something that's free, say so.
I always get nesty in the Fall too. I don't know if we are gearing up for holiday company or if we just feel like it is time to get back to business now that summer is over.
I'm so glad you said that looked like a burger. I glanced down at the picture while I was reading above and thought, "Oh no, they want to paint the railing like that? It looks like a hamburger." I totally didn't connect Burger with the burger.
Ah! I literally just cancelled my cable on Sunday. I saw in earlier comments that you are hoping to post a clip here once it's aired, so I will be looking forward to that. Congrats!
I also love that we got a peek at your front lawn from the front door looking out into the neighbourhood!
My neighbor down the street just put her house up for sell and moved back to Ohio (they've lived there a whole 7 months) and I want to see if I can get a conga line going to move all of our stuff into her house. She has my kitchen, as in My Kitchen with the huge grey marble island with seating, and the Seattle-size large flat yard with actual grass and room to throw a ball (we have a patio that fits a bbq, 2 chairs, and two pee patches of grass for the dog…and that's it).
I'd love to get rid of the mulch hill that passes for our backyard but unfortunately it requires city permits (which a landscape person said I'd be very unlikely to get since it backs up to the hillside behind our house and the city's retaining wall) and would cost over $10,000. It's easier to just move…
I love Super Soul Sunday!
Your comment about Burger only liking cats had me cracking up! I have a chihuahua mix and he thinks all big dogs are a threat but mostly ignores cats. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in his head.
I know how you feel Sherry, this has happened to me sooo many times! Being indecisive on a free bee or something at a thrift store, I go home and think on it and decide I can use it (or want it) and go back and it's gone! I try and remind myself from now on of these "dang it" moments when I see something.Congrats on the show, OPRAH holy cow, I will be watching! :)
Um, obviously you hoist yourself into that dumpster under the COVER OF DARKNESS! That way no one can see your awkward shame. Next time you see a dumpster, set the alarm for 3am. Your inside out black painting clothes can double as right side out black ninja clothes.
(Although since this is a local dumpster, I have no smooth explanation for if/when your neighbors come over and sit on your "new" patio furniture…)
Oooh, so excited to see you guys on TV, and…Oprah! Life, huh! :) Can you just IMAGINE predicting this in the realm of possibility just a few years ago! So fun.
Oh, well Oprah is exciting and stuff…but PERSONAL DIGGER SHOW…my two year old would be beside himself. :) ha.
You might check your local Craigslist for compost to add to the topsoil before seeding. I have a girlfriend who has horses, and she and her husband are SERIOUS composters, with air tubes, other vegetative matter, etc. My brother lives in Chicago proper, with a postage stamp sized front yard, and they are planning to scrape it clear, add some of my girlfriend's awesome, all natural compost and reseed this fall. You just need to be sure it's been weathered (not fresh). Good luck!
Hi guys! I don't know what type of grass is common in RVA…(I'm out in the Chicago suburbs)…but I cannot recommend having hydroseed (that mint green stuff you often see in commercial area or alongside highways) put down if it works with your indigenous grass. We did a lot of work at our first house, and as a result needed to reseed or sod the whole yard. We ended up having someone spray hydroseed and we have never, ever had such a lush beautiful lawn in any house since. Just a suggestion…I can't recall exact prices, but it was extremely reasonable.
My husband has been in the garbage business for 30+ years, most recently working at a landfill. I currently have 2 old trunks, chairs, lamps and various other sundries filling up my garage. His motto "rescue, always rescue so it won't die and be buried in a landfill"
Ha! I love the burger railing cap idea :)
Congrats on the Oprah bit — can't wait to see it!
I love that it crosses your mind to dumpster dive too! Our local Pharmacy just closed their doors. (Major Bummer) But right after the announcement I noticed a dumpster outside.
So every morning we've taken a walk by the pharmacy, and peeked over the edge. It was worth it! I've been able to score a neat display shelf that I think will make a great "grocery store" in my kids new basement play area.
I've also been busy recycling my own trash into usable items, and finally made a magnet wall for my kids. (I've only been thinking about it for 3 years, but I finally found all supplies)
Excited for the great deal you got on the landscaping. That is such a big job, awesome that it only cost $60! Think of all the $$ you saved in pain killers by not using a wheel barrow.

The vicious regime of Fidel Castro has for more than 40 years trampled on individual rights in Cuba, but the details of his seizure of power and subsequent Stalinist rule remain surprisingly little known in the United States. Within weeks of the September 11 terrorist attacks, everyone was hearing about the atrocities of the Taliban in Afghanistan, but year after year, Castro and his henchmen torture and kill Cubans who seek elemental human freedoms with virtually no attention from the media. Most Americans remain blissfully ignorant.
In his new book, Cuba In Revolution, Dr. Miguel Faria strives mightily to tell the truth about Castro and his government. As a boy of 13, Faria escaped from Cuba with his father, came to the United States, studied medicine, and became a surgeon. In his previous books, he has fought against the trend toward socialist health care in the United States. With this book he takes up what undoubtedly is the source of his greatest passion-the ruin of his homeland by one of the most repressive states in the world.
One part of the book is Faria's recounting of his escape from Cuba in 1966. "Harrowing" is the best adjective to describe the...
El tema político cubano sigue en el tapete casi a diario, ya que hay más de dos millones de exiliados sólo en el territorio de los Estados Unidos...y la situación política del "Verde Caimán -- Cuba -- no se soluciona y ni siquiera se estabiliza.
Los testimonios de aquéllos que huyeron del horror "comunista" -- fachada política de un Tirano que la buscó para encubrir sus ambiciones -- aparecen con cierta frecuencia en forma de historias en los periódicos, revistas y en libros.
Uno de los que sintieron en carne propia el "zarpazo revolucionario" fue el Dr. Miguel A. Faría Jr., quien huyó -- en unión de su padre -- de su terruño en Sancti Spíritus, Las Villas, en una embarcación con rumbo sur, hacia las islas de Gran Caimán.
La familia del Dr. Faría -- quién al huir de Cuba tenía sólo 13 años -- participó en la lucha insurreccional contra el dictador Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar, con el Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil (DRE) "13 de Marzo" con la esperanza de acabar con la Dictadura y volver a la democracia garantizada por la Constitución de 1940, vigente hasta el fatídico 10 de marzo de 1952, aciaga fecha de un "coup d'etat", que llevó al poder a Batista...
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is at it again, preaching draconian gun control. He has now paired himself with "the conscience" of the Senate, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., and joined forces with the national anti-gun group Americans for Gun Safety (AGS), a lobbying group that has been shown to have neither members, gun safety programs, nor credibility.
Sen. McCain and his anti-Second Amendment crowd are not going after "closing loopholes," as they claimed last year, but after shutting down all gun shows.
Using a pincer strategy that would make the Italian Marxist theoretician Antonio Gramsci proud, AGS is launching a nationwide million-dollar ad campaign to help influence public opinion in support of the new gun control bill from below, while Sens. McCain and Lieberman threaten to shut down gun shows from above, via legislation.
As David Kopel of the Independence Institute has written:
"Despite all the disinformation spread by the gun control lobby, a gun show is really nothing more than people wishing to sell one or more firearms to others who wish to purchase (or simply to gaze upon) the merchandise. Most of the sellers are federally licensed...
Regarding your editorials "Bush's Cuba Pickle(1)" (May 9) and "Our Man in Havana(2)" (May 16): While the U.S. embargo has not forced Fidel Castro's capitulation, with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 it has limited his capacity to subvert his Latin American neighbors, while forcing him to liberalize economic policies in order to remain in power. He has been forced to divert funds from his subversive military machine, limiting his capacity for terrorism and subversion, including his assistance to the Colombian FARC narco-terrorist rebels.
He has also been forced to legalize the dollar, privatize taxicabs, allow the cultivation of small family plots, and permit the opening of small family restaurants. Nevertheless, the embargo is porous and dollar stores (diplotiendas) contain everything a foreign tourist with hard cash may want; and if he gets sick, he can get excellent health care that is not available for ordinary Cuban citizens.
Castro has demonstrated that he would maintain his fiefdom with or without the embargo. But this would not be so for less charismatic and less intelligent leaders, including his brother Raul, Ricardo Alarcon, speaker of the Cuban...
Ex-president Jimmy Carter's visit to communist Cuba has renewed the calls for normalization of relations with the workers' paradise from many quarters from statist politicians who have admired Fidel Castro for decades to exporting firms like Archer Daniels Midland, which salivates at the prospect of taking its agribusiness to Cuba all of them placing potential profits above freedom.
Much of the discussion from that crowd has centered on lifting the U.S. embargo against the communist island, while forgetting that Castro is a Stalinist dictator, who has devastated and desolated a once beautiful and prosperous island.
Under Fidel Castro's dictatorship, trading with Cuba's totalitarian, communist system is like prospecting for fool's gold. Sure, under the communist system Cuba's labor is cheap, basically slave labor, but this is not the American way.
Is it right for foreign companies to pay Fidel Castro $800-$1,000 per month per worker in the tourism industry, and then for the fascist tyrant to turn around and pay the Cuban worker only $10-$20 per month and keep the rest for himself? Isn't this really a form of indentured servitude or worse,...
Reps. Charles Rangel and Marcy Kaptur, both Democrats from New York, reportedly traveled to Cuba looking for "future business and agriculture trade possibilities." Now former President Jimmy Carter has announced that he will travel to communist Cuba in May 2002.
As a concerned American and fellow Georgian, I hope his visit to fascist Cuba and his conversation with the Maximum Leader, Fidel Castro, brings some respite to the long-suffering Cuban people.
While he is there, he should keep his eyes open. He should get away from Castro, rent himself a taxi and see for himself the real, dire situation in Cuba, rather than wearing the rose-colored glasses provided.
He should make a point to visit black Cuban physician Oscar Elias Biscet at Cuba's prison in Holguin. Amnesty International has pronounced Dr. Biscet a prisoner of conscience because he has called for the free exercise of human rights in Cuba.
More recently, Dr. Biscet has demanded freedom for all political prisoners in the Cuban gulags. He has been tortured. He has been denied medical attention in the much-touted Cuban health care system. He has been kept in solitary confinement. His wife and...

Ultimately, liberalism destroys everything it touches. The disease's carriers, however, go on and on, infecting innocent bystanders and even entire institutions with a dread disease without so much as a single pang of conscience.
The latest casualty is medicine. In their efforts to save an increasingly violent segment of society from itself – a favorite leftist pastime – liberals have enlisted the aid of epidemiology, a branch of medicine that studies how and why large numbers of people die. Now, the Journal of Trauma (February 2002), a peer-reviewed publication, has shaken off the shackles of science and published a study suggesting that "a statistically significant association exists between gun availability and the rates of unintentional firearm deaths, homicides and suicides."
Sadly for medicine, not only have the authors so far refused to furnish their raw data to other researchers for peer review, they have ignored solid studies that demonstrate other important reasons for the violence they say they seek to prevent.
One of the researchers seeking the raw data is Dr. Miguel Faria, a neurosurgeon and editor of the Medical Sentinel. In an...
Ninety miles from our southern border, one of the world's wealthiest men (worth $1.4 billion, according to Forbes magazine) lives like a king, while his subjects, the Cuban people, live in abject poverty, facing chronic shortages of even the most basic commodities such as food, medicine, clothing and housing, writes Miguel A. Faria Jr., M.D., in his newly released book, Cuba in Revolution – Escape From a Lost Paradise.(1)
Fidel Castro, the longest-ruling Marxist dictator in history, runs an island prison without an exit, a brutal repressive police state where individual rights are non-existent. Cuba now has over 300 prisons (up from 11 under Batista).
More than 20,000 Cubans have been murdered and more than 500,000 jailed. More than one-sixth of the population – 2 million people – have fled the island, with three-fourths perishing at sea. Child abuse, political incarcerations, torture and murder are rampant, as Faria points out and documents in his book.
The Cuban version of Big Brother, the thought police (or DGI), commits unspeakable torture both in the Havana Psychiatric Hospital and in Cuba's prisons.
In spite of massive Soviet aid ( up to...
Fldel Castro has been the absolute ruler of Cuba for forty-two years, which brings him to the status of the longest ruling Marxist tyrant and most complete living villain in the world.
In the bloody and painful, humiliating course of his criminal career as a lifelong Communist and sadist, his path has been marked by an astounding ability to avoid being struck down, although the numbers of his enemies and opponents have been legion. But his most remarkable achievement has been his ability to outfox the Presidents of the United States by creating a partnership with the various leaders of the Soviet Union and other powerful enemies of this nation, and to inspire the jealousies of various Latin American despots and, even now, provide lessons to unscrupulous newcomers who hope and dream to imitate him.
In Dr. Faria's book, he tells us who won in Cuba. Don't expect him to say thank you, for the Cubans will not forget the Bay of Pigs nor the deaths in prison under torture, nor the ruined women and the dead men and the starved sons --- or the sleek newspaper "commentators" of New York and Hollywood, or the Marxist professors, or the State Department "experts" who vacation...

I have two double kitchen cabinets that I would really like to convert to drawers or add pull-outs drawers. There are lots of tools out there to add pull-outs but my problem is that my cabinets have two doors with a wood spacer in between them. Inside it is a big box; this would not let me create two levels of pull-outs/drawers - I would need a total of 4. The cabinets have a 12-inch depth shelf on middle-back but it does not extend to the front so I cannot attach the pull-out hardware.
Ideally, I would like to have two kitchen drawers so I do not waste the space in between the doors if I add pull-outs. But I am on a budget and the custom cabinets are in great shape (though they are 12 years old).
Does anyone know how I can add or convert to pull-out drawers? I currently stack all my pots but they sometimes fall. It would be so much easier to pull-out, store and retrieve what I need.
Any ideas?
I take it you have face frame cabinets from what you describe.
I've been planning on doing something similar to a cabinet with double doors and a piece of the frame in between.
Here's what I'm planning to do. The center strip in mine is screwed in with 4 pocket screws, 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. Use a flash light and try and see what type of head it has before you get started.
Get a peice of 3/4" square stock cut it a couple inches less than the height of the opening. Glue and screw it to the side of that center peice so that it's flush with the front. Predrill is a must, countersink is optional but nice. Leave a gap at the top and bottom.
Next close the door on the side where you attached the 3/4" piece. Then predrill and screw but don't glue it in. You just want to get the holes in, then remove the screws to the door.
Now you want to remove that center piece from the cabinet box.
First you want to take a utility knife and score the finish on the top and bottom to keep it from chipping. Maybe the back too. Then unscrew it. If it doesn't come right out, use a thin bladed saw to cut the top and bottom. It might be glued.
Might be a good idea here to sand the top and bottom to give you some extra clearance and seal the fresh wood on the top and bottom.
Then attach that center piece to the door lining it up with the holes you made previously. Now that cabinet pretty much looks like it did before except when you open the door the center piece comes with it and you have full access.
For the rest, read these instructions for making pull out shelves for your cabinets.
You can just take out the back shelf and install a standard pull out you can get at home depot. Mine are the same and the shelf was glued and nailed on. A hammer did the trick to get it out.
I have only done one cabinet so far as I feel like I actually lost cabinet space with the one I did. It is a small cabinet though, which contains mixing bowls etc. I do have space now on the side to store a few cookie sheets upright though . . .
If you have plenty of cabinet space but it is just not functional, this may work well for you.
I have seen several retro-fits done exactly as organicnoob describes. As most people are right-handed, the normal convention is to put the stile onto the left hand door. Thus the right hand door opens first, then the left.
I have several thin-kerf Japanese saws that would be perfect for sawing out the center stile.

Danica Patrick 6th in 2006 debut
StoryImage( '/Images/Story//Auto-img-114426692132720.jpg', ", 'Danica Patrick');
After sitting out the IndyCar season opener March 26, former Roscoe resident Danica Patrick finished sixth at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Fla., April 2.
Patricks sixth-place finish on the road course ties the second-best finish of her career. In 2005, she finished fourth at Twin Ring Montegi and Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and sixth at Chicagoland. She was 12th at St. Petersburg last year.
Patrick and Rahal Letterman Racing teammate Buddy Rice withdrew from the season opener at Homestead-Miami, Fla., after their teammate, rookie Paul Dana, was killed in pre-race warm-ups.
Helio Castroneves took the checkered flag at St. Petersburg after leading 40 of the 100 laps. Scott Dixon, who led 36 laps, finished second. Tony Kanaan, Bryan Herta and Vitor Meira rounded out the top five.
Top five in the season point standings after the second race are as follows: 1. Castroneves, 93; 2. Dixon, 70; 3. Dan Wheldon, 64; 4. Sam Hornish Jr., 62; 5. Kosuke Matsuura, 54. Patrick is 14th with 35 points.
Next race is the Indy Japan 300 Saturday, April 22 at Twin Ring Montegi in Montegi, Japan. Race starts at 11 a.m., and will be broadcast on ESPN.

A visit to Dinosaur National Monument is not complete unless you visit the Dinosaur Quarry. There are hundreds of dinosaur fossils that were uncovered on the mountain side and now on protected display in a covered building. You can even touch one of the fossils. A Park Ranger is available to provide additional information and to answer questions.
So cool to see all the dinosaur fossils. And you can even touch some of them! Our young boys were enthralled, and so were we as adults! Really well done.
You must see the Dinosaur Quarry when you go to Dinosaur National Monument. Kids would really enjoy seeing the quarry and reading all about it. There is a park ranger that is really informative and will answer any questions.
If driving your car then get there by 8:00 or you will have to take the shuttle bus up to the...
If you or any kids traveling with you have any interest in dinosaurs, this is a must see! The exhibit hall is amazing with an entire wall of bones in rock relief, exactly as they were found. The rangers are very instructive and informative, pointing out teeth marks on some bones and how others differ from species to species. Take...
This is a "must see" if you are interested in this type of thing (national parks, science & nature). If you have kids/grandkids it's great too! Imagine seeing a wall full of dinosaur bones!!!! Go, by all means!
We had an amazing time looking at this big hillside full of dinosaur bones. It was so cool. Our boys really loved it. You even get to touch a fossil.
The kids really love the Jr. Ranger Program!
What more can I say - this place was fantastic and really well organised with a frequent free shuttle from the visitor centre to the quarry site (or a 1 mile-ish walk each way). The kids loved it, we loved it, and we all got to actually touch dinosaur bones. Hooray!
Awesome. I hadn't been to the quarry in about 25 years. Very nice new facilities. Excellent people working there to answer questions. My 7 year old went nuts for dinosaurs!
..well...and since it's the largest accumulation of Dinosaur bones even we consider it a must...;-) So, if you are in the area and have an hour to spare after visiting Dinosaur Monument, this is the place to go!
The Dinosaur Quarry Visitor Center at Dinosaur National Monument is awesome! There are very few other places in the world that have the sheer number and wealth of dinosaur fossils on display as the "Dinosaur Wall" at this quarry. In fact, there are nearly 1500 dinosaur bones visible in the cliff face of the world-famous Carnegie Quarry! Many new species...

Ten Things Dems Could Do to Win
4. Put in a usury cap of 16 percent.
Again, aside from doing something for our base, it meets the other three FDR-type rules.
First, it's simple. Unlike the Dodd-Frank Act, this is easy to explain.
Second, it's universal—who can live without a Visa or MasterCard?
Third, it fits into a bigger plan—to shrink the big returns of a financial sector that's drained so much of the investment that used to go into the "real economy." After all, our plan has to be to make the country globally competitive, to bring down the trade deficit. And we can't do that until we put limits on the returns of a financial sector that is in danger of sucking up all the invested capital that used to go into manufacturing.
Well, at any rate, it's simple.
5. Set up small government banks like the German Sparkasse.
Ironically, in this time of bailouts, the failure of so many small banks has reduced the lending the country needs. In Illinois alone, thirty-seven banks have failed since the Wall Street crack-up. The big ones like Citibank, Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase are not just "too big to fail" but too big to lend.
How to fix that?
Set up small, government-run banks all over the country, like the little Sparkasse banks one sees all over Germany.
It would do something for our base. It's simple to understand. It fits into a plan—to make the country more competitive so we can bring down the trade deficit. In Germany the Sparkasse banks are especially designed to help small manufacturers compete—the kind of small but high-value-added firms that the big banks like Deutsche Bank ignore but that play an important role in racking up a favorable trade balance for Germany.
And if all that is too abstract, think about this: the Sparkasse hand out credit cards with low interest rates.
Isn't that the ultimate "public option"? A government credit card, at a lower than Bank of America rate.
Yes, it's simple. It's universal—everyone can use a credit card. And it adds up to a plan, to create a fair and just economy that can lift the middle class by increasing sales abroad.
6. Give everyone the right to six days of vacation—six consecutive paid working days.
Why six consecutive days? Well, we need five so we can connect the two weekends. And we need a sixth so we have something to trade away in the Senate.
I'm kidding. Let them filibuster. What could be better for the Democrats?
It does something for our base. It's simple. And it fits into a plan, to make us more competitive.
If we had more vacation time, as the Europeans have, we might even visit and get to know these countries we have to compete with. If we had time off to go around the world, we might be more competitive.

Old Blog: Paradise Lost- The First AND Second War in Heaven
By Jekylhyde14 4 Comments
Hey everybody. I was surfing the web today looking over some of my old comic blogs, and I found this gem on my Blogspot ( http://cosmichobo14.blogspot.com/) from my undergrad years. It concerns two of my favorite topics: John Milton's Paradise Lost and the JLA. I wrote it after reading an excellent JLA mini-series by Mark Millar. I hope you enjoy and I'll try to have some brand new material up soon. Laaaaate!
Paradise Lost is an epic poem that was written by John Milton in the 17th century. The final version of the poem was separated into 12 books and was meant to be the Christian answer to the pagan epic poems like the Odyssey and the Iliad. Christian writers of the 17th century loved the pagan epics, but were uncomfortable with the violence, sex and other "unchristian-like" behaviors that the heroes of these epics displayed. Milton wanted to create a Christian epic with a Christian epic hero.

Champagnat's Travonte Valentine picks LSU
Champagnat Catholic's All-American defensive tackle Travonte Valentine gave a few hints even before he sat down to sign his letter of intent.
His shoes were purple with a light gold color. His mother, Darlene Samuel, sat beside him wearing purple and white.
So it wasn't a huge shock when Valentine pulled out an LSU cap and chose the Tigers as his college.
Valentine, who had 91 tackles and 17 sacks and doubled as an offensive lineman for Class 2A state champion Champagnat his senior season, was among five seniors that signed at a ceremony at the school Wednesday morning.
For the past few weeks following his decommitment from the University of Miami, the belief was Valentine would choose LSU.
"It took me a long time and I had to think about my decision," Valentine said. "I woke today and it took me an hour to get to school. I thought about it hard and I made my decision to stick to LSU.
Valentine added: "Family is all I need. It's like family at LSU. I thought about mine this morning because they're all here. But I thought if I went to LSU I'd have a better opportunity to win a national championship, win my conference and get a degree."
In addition to Valentine, Champagnat had four FBS school signees.
Athlete Frank Labady signed with Cincinnati, safety Michael Johnson signed with Louisville, wide receiver Jason Williams signed with Akron.
Wide receiver/cornerback David Alexis also signed with Dakota College.

Journal; And the Winner Is . . . George W. Bush
By FRANK RICH
Published: August 28, 1999
A bump in the road, a setback, a boon to his primary opponents? Puh-LEEZE! The people who dourly predicted dark consequences from George W. Bush's ''mishandling'' of Snortgate were the same geniuses who predicted Bill Clinton's imminent demise 20 months ago. After the avalanche of insinuations that the Texas Governor might have used cocaine and is now engaged in a cover-up, Mr. Bush is in fact, in the words of his campaign adviser Ralph Reed, ''better off'' than he was before the firestorm started. Far from bungling his first encounter with adversity, the front-runner handled it like a master.
Sure, his convoluted answers to the cocaine question were Clintonesque -- you need a Palm Pilot to chart the chronology of his non-drug use -- but the political dividends have proved Clintonesque in a positive sense. Mr. Bush has enjoyed an ''uptick'' in the polls, as Mr. Reed described it. He continues to best Democratic adversaries by double digits and swamps his closest Republican rival, Elizabeth Dole, by a factor of four.
This is true even though most voters with an opinion on the subject believe that he is guilty as rumored of the alleged felony -- just as most voters judged President Clinton guilty of non-felonious adultery from the outset of Monicagate. Yet no one cares. Only 11 percent in a CNN/Time poll feel cocaine use disqualifies Mr. Bush from the Presidency. More revealingly, the number of people who think a candidate should not even respond to questions about cocaine has gone up since the marathon cross-examining of Mr. Bush began.
Does this mean that Americans have once again proved themselves to be morally bankrupt, as was widely proclaimed last year? Has the rise in the Dow Jones average since then made them overlook hard drugs as well as reckless sex? If the Dow hits 13,000, could a politician suspected of grand theft auto run for President without fear of public condemnation? At 20,000, a serial killer?
No, but what this fracas did prove is that the best place a candidate can be in 2000 is in opposition to the fulminating moralists in public life, whether those of the press or of Mr. Bush's own party. Bill Clinton's bipartisan legacy is this: Given the choice between scolds and scamps, the country opts for scamps. The more the media pile on a politician over a private sin -- let alone a sin for which there is no evidence or accusations, despite major investigative efforts by both The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal -- the more the public will rally around the targeted candidate. Just prior to the last push to bust Mr. Bush for drugs, there was a mini-storm in which our Puritan tribunes reprimanded him for using a four-letter word repeatedly in an interview in Talk magazine; that may have helped his poll numbers too. Should someone now come forward and actually accuse him of coke use, he may enjoy a poll bounce analogous to the one enjoyed by Mr. Clinton after Kathleen Willey appeared on ''60 Minutes.''
Mr. Bush's tormentors have tried to dress up the propriety of the cocaine question ex post facto by linking it to his hypocrisy on public policy. As Governor, he has signed on to Draconian laws in Texas that promote jail for first-time drug offenders caught in possession of minuscule amounts (though jail rarely befalls those of Mr. Bush's station, who can afford the right lawyers). But the many troubling questions raised by this hard line -- and the failed national war on drugs it epitomizes -- could have been asked of him before the cocaine rumors flared, whether he's a hypocrite or not. Now they'll likely be forgotten again, unless or until the questions about his own cocaine use get a second wind.
Such is our political culture, in which scandal usurps all else, that Mr. Bush has been able thus far to position himself as a don't-worry-be-happy candidate, a genial Chauncey Gardiner who seems to believe whatever a beholder hopes he believes. He has been able to skate by most policy questions, including those drowned out by Snortgate. Most of the media, for instance, ignored his response to a query by David Bloom of NBC News about the Kansas school board's decision to delete evolution from its recommended curriculum. Mr. Bush fudged it: ''It's up to local districts to make decisions on how to achieve standards of excellence, as far as I'm concerned.''
If this is how educational excellence is going to be promoted by a chief executive -- and the hapless Al Gore, seemingly following Mr. Bush's lead, is now also waffling on this question -- the policy implications go well beyond Kansas. How would a President respond to similar political pressures by creationists that could threaten Federal funding of scientific research (and academic institutions) exploring the frontiers of biology and medicine? Will taxpayers have to foot the bill in future welfare programs for graduates of evolution-free high schools sentenced to the bottom rungs of the new economy?
Some voters may be less concerned with what drugs, if any, passed through Mr. Bush's brain than with what other traffic, if any, did. Though otherwise cooperating with a seven-part Washington Post profile this summer, this would-be education President would not permit either Andover or Yale to release his grades. Asked by a South Carolina elementary-school kid at a campaign photo op this week to name his favorite book as a child, Mr. Bush responded, ''I can't remember any specific books.'' Amidst all the crackhead cracks on late-night talk shows was David Letterman's chilling aside, ''I have the feeling that this guy could turn out to be a colossal boob.''

What Is The Distinguish Between The Different Classifications Of Hepatitis A B And C
Here's a taste of what TheBody.com has to offer on this topic:
Get the Facts
Hepatitis: Overview...Sheet 504 ). Hepatitis is a very common disease. It can affect people even if their immune systems are healthy. Hepatitis can lead to serious scarring (cirrhosis) of the liver and liver failure, which can be fatal. Many cases of hepatitis aren't treated because people either don't feel sick at all, or think they have the flu. The most common symptoms are loss of appetite, fatigue, fever, body aches, nausea and vomiting, and stomach pain. Some...

I worked at Sallie Mae full-time (more than a year)Pros
- Pay was great for a call center job
- My supervisor was great
- Nice co-workersCons
- During peak season, the micro-managing from the upper tier of management at the call center got pretty annoying
- Upper management in the servicing department couldn't seem to decide how they wanted everything to be organized
- Mandatory overtime during peak season
- A lot of turnover in the call center, but not outside of it, so it's hard to move elsewhere or up in the companyAdvice to ManagementAdvice
Don't let your more capable and knowledgeable employees take on extra responsibility only to decide a few months later that the company is wasting money in doing so. Create small groups to test out some of the ideas you're considering implementing before changing everything around center-wide several times in the middle of peak season.RecommendsNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEO

I worked at Sallie Mae full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
They offer good pay, vacation time, sick leave and 401k. The health and dental plans have a low monthly contribution.Cons
If you work in the call center you will be treated like a number and not a person. You are even timed when you go to the bathroom. They say they like to promote from within but after nearly 4 years there I was never given the opportunity. Eventually my job was shipped overseas.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Your attendance policy is aweful. Oh it is also not cool to have your phone reps train people from India where you eventually ship their job and lay them off...Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEO

Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Sep 11 '79
Josh Cribbs left Sunday's Week 13 game against the Dolphins with a shoulder injury.
Cribbs suffered the injury in the first quarter and has been ruled out for the game. Kyle Wilson has replaced him on kick returns.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Sep 04 '79
Josh Cribbs rushed five times for 20 yards and completed 1-of-2 passes for 13 yards in the Jets' Week 12 loss to Baltimore.
Obviously lacking confidence in rookie quarterback Geno Smith, the Jets turned to heavy usage of Wildcat-type plays with ex-Brown Cribbs as the triggerman. Cribbs was just signed off the street on October 15. Knowing Rex Ryan's affinity for the Wildcat, it's entirely possible this package stays as staple of Marty Morhinweg's offense. It was relatively effective in Week 12.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Jul 26 '791 Comment
Jets signed KR/WR Josh Cribbs.
The Jets were interested in Cribbs in the offseason, and worked him out again two weeks ago. The veteran return specialist provides insurance for KR/WR Clyde Gates (shoulder). Cribbs won't play on offense in New York.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Jul 12 '79
Free agent KR/WR Josh Cribbs worked out for the Jets on Tuesday.
In what sounds like an agent-driven report, CBS' Jason La Canfora reports Cribbs is "back to full health." Now on the wrong side of 30, Cribbs would likely be limited to special teams if he wound up with Gang Green.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Jun 05 '79
Raiders released KR/WR Josh Cribbs.
Looks like he's done. Knee problems popped up on Cribbs' offseason physicals, and his lack of burst was evident on kickoff returns in preseason games. The Raiders will go with Jacoby Ford as their No. 3 receiver and return specialist.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ May 30 '79
Raiders KR/WR Josh Cribbs' roster spot is "on shaky ground."
Cribbs has looked several steps slow on preseason returns, and he doesn't help on offense. "I think we've got to see the burst and the explosion," coach Dennis Allen said. "That's something that we're looking for in the next couple of games." The Raiders would lose nothing by cutting Cribbs and his $865k salary.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ May 29 '79
Based on preseason tape review, CSN Bay Area's Scott Bair believes Raiders KR/WR Josh Cribbs has "lost a step."
Cribbs underwent offseason meniscus surgery, and several NFL teams wouldn't clear him during free-agency physicals. Through two exhibition games, Cribbs has returned five kickoffs for 115 yards (23-yard average). The 30-year-old has not been involved in the punt return game or in the Raiders' offense.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Mar 22 '79
Raiders KR/WR Josh Cribbs (meniscus surgery) will be sidelined until training camp.
There had been some confusion over when Cribbs would be ready to resume football activities after Jets GM John Idzik said his knee "wasn't quite there yet." Cribbs initially refuted the claim, but Coach Dennis Allen cleared it up today, stating his kick returner wont practice until training camp. Cribbs will be the Raiders' primary return man once the season starts.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Feb 25 '79
New Raiders KR Josh Cribbs (meniscus surgery) says he'll be ready "when it's time to play football."
Cribbs called Jets GM John Idzik's observation that his knee "(wasn't) quite there yet" a "negotiation tactic" before admitting he might not be ready to practice for over another month. Regardless, Cribbs should be ready well in advance of Week 1, and is slotted in as the Raiders' primary return man.
Josh Cribbs WR NYJ Feb 23 '79
Raiders agreed to terms with WR/KR Josh Cribbs, formerly of the Browns, on a one-year contract.
Jets GM John Idzik said just yesterday that Cribbs' knee wasn't yet up to snuff coming off meniscus surgery, but the Raiders decided they couldn't wait to sign the return specialist. Going on 30, Cribbs has taken a number of thundering hits over the years, but remained one of the league's best return men last season. Cribbs should see little, if any, time on offense. He's surpassed 200 yards receiving only twice in his eight-year career.

SBD/5/Sponsorships Advertising Marketing
Published December 5, 1995
An Olympic gold medal in skiing can mean millions, according to this month's SNOW COUNTRY. John Steinbreder assembled detailed financial information on skiing's most recent Olympic medal winners, and profiled their sponsorships, with estimated income. A sampling: MOE MONEY: Tommy Moe, who won the gold and silver at the '94 Winter Games, will pull in an estimated $1M in '95 through sponsorships with companies that include Dynastar, Lange, Salomon, Kerma, Bristol Bay Salmon, Spyder, Gargoyles and Jackson Hole. Experts say Moe "could have done even more," but has "repeatedly said he intends to concentrate on his ski racing career first, and making money second." SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET: Picabo Street, who won a silver at Lillehammer and the '95 World Cup downhill will earn an estimated $500,000 this year. Steinbreder reports Street "is on track to become the most successful U.S. woman skier of all time, if not on the hill, at least off it." Street's sponsors include Rossignol, Lange, Marker, Sun Valley and Nike -- with whom she is cooperating with on a cross-training shoe development and marketing project. Steinbreder predicts Street "may rival Moe in the future" in earnings, but for now, European-based equipment suppliers "have traditionally paid higher fees to male skiers," which comes from higher TV ratings in Europe. THE JORDAN OF SKIING: Italy's Alberto Tomba, who has won five Olympic medals and 44 World Cup races, will total an estimated $10M in '95, with sponsors including Rossignol, Lange, Look and Fila. Steinbreder writes Tomba "is in a class by himself" among ski endorsers, and "has endorsement deals in virtually every product category in Europe." Steinbreder also notes that Olympic gold medalist Donna Weinbrecht, a freestyle skier, will make an estimated $125,000 in '95, because "freestyle isn't as popular as alpine skiing" (SNOW COUNTRY, 1/96 issue).

So there are only two hours of Battlestar Galactica left -- and a ton of open plotlines, questions, and mysteries. As we're closing in on the end, it's likely our favorite hunk of metal will be less spaceship and more ramrod on its final mission. I'm wondering if there will be actual closure and wrapping up of Kara's, Balthar's, et. al's storylines or if we're heading towards a last pan of the cast a la Wolfgang Petersen's Das Boot.
