Lisa and Ken's housewarming/vow renewal ceremony (is that what you call that?) is today! Lisa's a wreck, though, because she's too shy to proclaim her love in front of the world. Better get it together, because Ken is excited.
Adrienne is throwing a party of her own, launching a new vodka line called "Zing," primarily their red velvet-flavored version.
This looks like a Wonderland nightmare – complete with half-naked people pretending to be statues…until they start gyrating. There are hands poking out of the heart-shaped rosebushes, passing out shots. Basically…it's really scary. I don't even think I did that description justice.
Lisa and Brandi are skipping the party – well, Brandi wasn't invited – for massages at Lisa's and really, who can blame them? Adrienne is what I like to call "the woooorrrssstttt" *in my Jean-Ralphio voice*
Wait, what? Adrienne didn't fire her chef, Bernie, after he sold stories about Lisa, Brandi, etc. to the press? That's some next-level inconsideration right there. Brandi and Lisa are right, Adrienne and Paul legit seem to hate each other right now. Watching her practically throw those plates at him, in front of a room full of uncomfortable onlookers, was painful. And the worst part? You already know from the previews that it's gonna get a whole lot worse.
Brandi's busy sexually harassing Giggy, when Lisa and Ken's friend Martin sneaks up on them, posing as Brandi's masseuse. But it doesn't end there. Inspired by Martin's creepiness, Ken then climbs atop Lisa and begins jokingly thrusting. Y'all.
Adrienne's party is in full swing, and Paul is somewhere in the house getting a last-minute spray tan. It looks incredibly uncomfortable and by the end of it, Paul looks like a giant piece of beef jerky.
Back at the party, the Housewives in attendance gather around Messy Marisa, who has some news about Brandi. Apparently, Brandi sent Marisa a text that read, "I think I know what will save your marriage," and Marisa is pissed. Camille and Adrienne immediately start saying Marisa has a great marriage, but Kyle and Yolanda look uncomfortable.
Brandi's sage advice? Give each other a "hall pass," a.k.a. permission to cheat, one-time-only. We know that's stupid. Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis proved it.
For her part, Marisa is offended. She's perfectly happy and Dean wants to have sex every night. T.M.freaking.I.
We've all seen Marisa disrespect Dean, and even though they may love each other, and even though Brandi may be out of line, let's not pretend that they seem to be all sunshine and rainbows. It doesn't matter if you've been together 16 years or 16 months. If you're constantly complaining – in front of your husband, no less – that you want something new? Shoot. My BOYFRIEND wouldn't take that.
Then talk turns toward criticizing Brandi for having threesomes during her marriage. Kyle doesn't like the idea of extramarital sex, at all, but isn't disparaging Brandi. We've got Adrienne and Faye for that.
That's when things get awesome. Yolanda literally smushes Marisa's face in her hands and tells her that she should be having this conversation with Brandi, not them. It goes in one ear and out the other, when Marisa tells them that Dean thinks Brandi has a crush on him. Girl.
Kyle's right, Brandi jokingly flirts with everyone, and after what happened between her and Eddie, Kyle and Yolanda don't think Brandi would ever think of sleeping with a married man.
Of course, this is when Faye starts rolling her eyes and bringing up something "that happened in the bathroom at the white party." GO HOME, FAYE! They claim that someone found Brandi in one of Kyle's kids' bathrooms, half-naked with some man or another.
Yolanda awesomely tells them she doesn't like the speculation and gossip. They didn't see it with their own eyes, and they shouldn't throw her under the bus. Adrienne then claims that Brandi said something nasty about Yolanda as well, but when Yolanda presses her for details, she comes up dry. Because she was lying, obviously.
Kyle and Yolanda walk off, leaving the rest of the crew to bring up the rest of Brandi's gossip from episodes ago, stumbling over each other to tell Adrienne just how loyal they were to her. We all know Brandi was wrong, but this is actually disgusting.
Paul's been missing for the entire party…until he shows up in a tree with some of Adrienne's other painted people. In her confessional, she essentially calls Paul a pathetic, attention-hungry, thirst bucket, which says way more about the state of their marriage than any of Brandi's bleeped out gossip ever could.
After the commercial break, Lisa informs us that Adrienne and Paul announced their separation online. I hate them both, but being right about that sucks. She's got a party to finish preparing, but she can't help feeling bad for her former friend.
Brandi and Jennifer are headed to Lisa's party, and of course, Adrienne's separation crops up. Brandi thinks it's a publicity stunt, because of the timing and the rumors.

This will be a major rewrite of GMaven, Probably quite different than what has been done in the past. We don't yet know exactly what it will look like, but exciting changes are coming your way. We're currently considering merging the Groovy Eclipse plugin with GMaven (which would have the bonus of avoiding stub issues while still offering things like Groovy mojos), and possibly also including some aspects of GMavenPlus (like access to the GroovyDoc tool).

Q: What is Probate?
Probate is the action or process of:
Q: Do I need to go through Probate?
If the decedent owned real property, in his name alone, of any value on the date of death there will need to be some type of probate proceeding.
If the decedent owned personal property, in his name alone, in excess of $50,000 in total value on the date of death, there will need to be some type of probate proceeding.
Q: What is a probate asset?
Real or personal property owned in the decedent's name alone.
Q: What is a non-probate asset?
Real or personal property owned by the decedent with a beneficiary designation or held in joint tenancy.
Q: If I am named in decedent's will as personal representative, do I have the authority to act as personal representative?
No. The decedent has merely nominated a personal representative.
The court has to "probate" the will; and the nominated personal representative, or an alternate, must qualify for appointment before the party can say they are personal representative of decedent's estate.
Q: What are "Letters"?
Letters mean either "Letters of General Administration" or "Letters Testamentary," which are the evidence that the personal representative gives to decedent's asset holders and creditors to show that the personal representative has the authority to act on behalf of the decedent.
Q: Can I use a Power of Attorney rather than get appointed as a Personal Representative?
No. The powers granted under a Power of Attorney stop at the moment of the decedent's death.
Q: Does having a will "avoid" probate?
Q: Do I want to avoid probate?
Not necessarily.
You should consult with an attorney and disclose what your assets are, and to whom you wish to have those assets pass on to, upon your death. The attorney can offer you a variety of estate planning tools to achieve your goals such as: changing ownership on your assets, establishing a trust, arranging for a power of attorney, etc.
Q: Is Probate expensive?
In Minnesota, each county court has a set filing fee to open a probate court file. At this time the fee is $324.00 in Hennepin County. In addition, there will be publication cost that is around $100.00. The cost of a certified copy of the "Letters" is $16.00.
Attorneys do NOT charge a percentage of the estate. Minnesota attorneys charge by the hour for probate work.
Q: What is a will?
A will is a written declaration of how you want your property to pass on, upon your death.
Q: When does a will take effect?
A will needs to be probated by a court before it takes effect. Under Minnesota law, a will cannot be presented for probate until the decedent has been dead for 5 days.
Q: Do I need a will?
If you do not have a will upon your death, then Minnesota has laws of "intestate succession" to determine where your property goes upon your death. If you have no problem with the way the statute would distribute your property, you do NOT have to have a will.
Intestate succession laws generally follow your blood line, spouse, children, grandchildren or a version thereof, if you have a blended family. If you choose to give some or all of your property to an entity, or to someone outside this natural flow, you should have a will to make your intentions clear.
In the event that you need to protect the interests of minors or someone with a disability, it may be imperative to have a will to provide for direction of your assets upon your death.
Q: Can I probate informally a "copy" of a will?
Q: Do I need an attorney?
We recommend that you get legal advice from an attorney. The court and its staff need to remain neutral in all cases and we cannot give legal advice.
You can get a list of attorneys familiar with probate by contacting: Hennepin County Bar Association Lawyer Referral Service and Estate & Elder Law Services (Volunteers of America).
"Informal probate" is the only probate proceeding where some people choose to attempt the probate process without the advice of an attorney (pro se). The Probate Registrars who handle the informal probate proceedings cannot give legal advice or assist in the preparation of documents or the transfer of assets.

Clash between Pagelines & Ajax Event Calendar Plugin
Posted 29 August 2012 - 10:29 AM
Posted 29 August 2012 - 11:38 AM
Posted 24 September 2012 - 06:00 AM
I've tried disabling all plug-ins
I'm using page lines framework 2.3
Posted 24 September 2012 - 09:36 AM
What is the actual issue and can you provide the page where the calendar is supposed to be please.
Posted 24 September 2012 - 03:47 PM
Posted 24 September 2012 - 11:13 PM
If you look on the right, this product is in version 1.0.2 and hasn't been updated since WP 3.3.2. The developer hasn't done anything with it since March 27.
Deprecated plugins are the bane of a WP admin's existence. The developers give up or lose interest and your site goes funky with the next WP update.
Unfortunately, there's not much we can do except to urge you to find a replacement that's compatible with the current version of WP and well maintained.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 02:31 PM
Any progress. I am having trouble too.
Posted 22 January 2013 - 02:43 PM
Posted 25 January 2013 - 01:12 AM
evidently not. I am still having trouble.
Posted 25 January 2013 - 03:01 AM
First, did you upgrade to 2.4? Did you also upgrade WordPress? There was another update today to 3.5.1.
Could you explain what's going on with your site? It may be different from others, since this topic wasn't yours originally.
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:27 PM
I have searched lots of forums and for our site:
The details don't show up when you click an event. We have input dates through May. I really dont' want to switch to another calendar if possible.
Strangely on the admin side - it works perfectly. When inputing events sometimes I click one already entered to edit them and the screen dims and a dropdown with event details appears.
But on the user side - it appears it's trying to do the same thing - screen dims - but nothing. I looked at the PHP (Not knowing PHP) and I have adjusted the CSS for the "#aec-modal-container" and various other things.
I need this to work. I am too invested in pagelines to switch and
have turned off all plugins. (turned back on ones I cannot live
it appears so close to working. Any ideas anyone??
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:28 PM
Evidently there are two threads for this. I posted this also in another too:
Posted 28 January 2013 - 07:35 PM
I looked and need to upgrade to 2.4. I will let you know if it works to solve the issue. Thanks for the suggestion!
Posted 29 January 2013 - 12:41 AM
I've merged the two topics.
Posted 03 March 2013 - 07:51 AM
I have exactly the same issue very well and precisely described here.
The same subject was recently raised in this PL topic: and in parallel in several threads in the plugin support forum, with unfortunately no answer, e.g.: .
As for me I upgraded to WP 3.5.1 + Pagelines 2.4. + Ajax Event Calendar 1.0.4 & I confirm that there are no plugin conflicts + no issue with dozens of other themes except Pagelines.
Did anyone manage to solve this issue ? This events plugin is really one of the best I ever saw: too bad we cannot use it
Posted 03 March 2013 - 09:03 AM
The issue has been reported.
Posted 24 April 2013 - 12:30 AM
Any updates here? I too am using WP 3.5.1 PL 2.4.1 and ACE 1.0.4
Posted 24 April 2013 - 01:03 AM
Hi there, I've checked the bug report and can confirm its still on there at the moment, no updates on the notes on there though. Any fix will probably be included within the next Pagelines update and will be shown on the changelog.

Wow, I'm about to catch hell from the Islamophobes and anti-Zionists alike on this one.
I'll go with the anti-Zionists first…
Jewish populations in pre-1948 Muslim countries are well known. The conditions they lived in varied depending on the nature of politics and culture in the area.
Jews in Turkey were accepted, safe and active members of civil society for centuries. In fact, after the Reconquista Sultan Bayezid II said "Who are these [Spanish Christians] who make themselves poor by making me rich?" as he opened his country to Iberian refugees. After Israeli Independence Turkish Jews more or less stayed put, happy where they were. Jews in Muslim parts of India were just another ethnic group. Most left the subcontinent during the early 50s.
Jews in present day Syria, Iraq, North Africa, Yemen and a number of other places had been subject to long term, systematic discrimination and occasional official violence. In 1948 to about 1950 they were stripped of their land and possessions, attacked and expelled. The precise number of Jews displaced by Muslims like the number of Muslims displaced by Jews is not known. But towards the end of his life even Yasser Arafat (not what you'd call a hard core Zionist) allowed as how almost as many Jews had been dispossesed as Arabs. The UN at the time put the numbers in at least the hundreds of thousands.
Where did you think all those Israeli Sephardim came from?
It's not "Israeli propaganda". The facts are well-known to everyone with even a cursory knowledge of the history of the area.
Now for the Islamaphobes
By any measure more Muslim civilians have been killed by Jews and Christians in the last forty years than the other way around. I'm not just referring to battlefield casualties. Libyans blew up a couple planes. Many hundreds died when Reagan bombed population centers. The economic warfare against Iraq cost conservatively a quarter million lives, a probable majority women and children due to malnutrition, degraded water, lack of medical supplies and so on. Palestinian Arabs rocketed a lot of farmers, machine-gunned school buses, blew up schools and so on. But over the years Israel has killed a lot more of them than the other way around.
The killing in Iraq has not all been Sunni and Shia murdering each other, although there has been quite a bit of that. American cluster bombs, cruise missles, carpet bombing, artillery tanks and small arms have slaughtered many, many thousands. And a good bit of the ethnic cleansing has been part of American policy.
NATO led by the US has killed tens of thousands in Afghanistan. They are not all or even mostly Talibanis. Bomb a village to get the people shooting at you, and you will get a lot of people who aren't. It may be acceptable losses. That's a different discussion. But you can't deny that they are civilian deaths.
By contrast, since the two wards began Western forces suffered fewere than 10,000 fatalities.

Excellent Product By Tankjunkie on 7/30/2013 Tankjunkie would recommend this product to a friend I've been using GFO from BRS for awhile and have no complaints. Keeps phosphates in check very effectively. I always recommend GFO to anyone having phosphate issues. Use it on all my tanks By William on 7/22/2013 William would recommend this product to a friend I absolutely can't do without the BRS bulk GFO. It drastically improved the water quality of all of my aquariums. A 180gal reef tank and a 110gal fish only. Phosphate levels are almost not existent now after using the GFO, especially in the dual GFO and carbon media reactor. great product By Bob on 7/11/2013 Bob would recommend this product to a friend this has cured my algae problems before. I now dont run a saltwater tank without it. I'm Sold! By Eric on 7/5/2013 Eric would recommend this product to a friend This stuff is the most cost effective phosphate solution I have found. Could not be happier with the product. Cant do without it. By Randy on 7/1/2013 Randy would recommend this product to a friend Everytime I run out of this thing and think I am doing well, I have to run and get some more. Awesome product Worth the money! By John on 6/28/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend Easy to use, have used different brands of GFO in the past. After adding BRS GFO, algae problems have reduced to nothing! gfo quaility By hunter on 6/25/2013 hunter would recommend this product to a friend Ordered up some of this gfo.. Samre as the carbon seems to be doing a good job so far. Also did not notice much waste when rinsing it off.. huge deal for me when your looking at gfo prices.. GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE!!! By Dolmo5000 on 6/25/2013 Dolmo5000 would recommend this product to a friend BRS does it again! I have looked far and wide for GFO at a cheaper price. Although there are a very few places advertising it for a cheaper price reviews of the product say it contains lots and lots of dust. I believe that BRS sells a fantastic product and will purchase GFO and all other bulk additive from them as long as I'm in the hobby (rest of my life). GREAT JOB BRS!!! now winning the battle By algae victory on 6/13/2013 algae victory would recommend this product to a friend Had a pretty good algae bloom in reef tank 1yo. Never used GFO decided to give it a try in my sump sock. Day two seeing significant results oh and new sock was green after day one. Instructions on package were confusing By Charles on 6/12/2013 Charles would recommend this product to a friend I got this from a friend that had taken down his tank. I am overall satisfied with the product itself, but the instructions were confusing and I believe i used way too much after the initial period. I got some clarity on it with the calculator. My pump went up on me for a couple days and i started noticing algae growth almost instantly. Got a new pump and did a water change and the GFO did the rest. Good quality GFO By Bill on 6/7/2013 Bill would recommend this product to a friend This GFO works well and is very cost efficient way of removing PO4 in any aquarium. No problems does exactly what it is supposed to do. I do find that it has more fines to be rinsed than some higher quality GFO (RowaPhos).

|Fabulous winter coat
|Reviewed By Kate, 31 Jan 2013
I was fortunate to find this in a Cotswold Rock Bottom Outlet with a slight rip (which I later got repaired). It is fabulously warm and light. The length is great and the hood keeps the wind out with useful toggle tighteners. The pockets are zippered which is useful. It it fine in light showers and dries off quickly.
|wonderfully warm but lightweight and not bulky
|Reviewed By Barbara Jane, 12 Jan 2013
Perfect length for keeping really warm but without being bulky or heavy. Nice to have hood but good that it's detachable so coat can look smart for any occasion.
|Fantastic dateless jacket

This jacket is fantastic. Really light to wear but keeps you warm on the coldest of mornings. It will make me look forward to the winter coming now!
|Practical but Stylish and so Warm
|Reviewed By Ben, 29 Dec 2012
Bought this jacket as a gift for my girlfriend and she loves it, she wants to go out just to be able to put it on. It's super warm and has the useful feature of being able to unzip the bottom making it easier to sit down. When we have been out and about the number of comments she has got asking her where she got it from and saying that it looks good and they would like one. Defiantly a quality product and a must have item.

This coat is comfortable and warm, yet lightweight and very flattering. It's practical so it's great for walking the dog and the styling is so good that it's also smart enough for a shopping trip to town. Other down coats just cannot compete with the Metropolis in any category. Snap one up now!
|fantastic coat and fantastic service
|Reviewed By anthony, 16 Feb 2012
bought for wife who loves it a bargain at the sale price, i bought the black one as the white is a kind of dirty looking white or off white when you see it in person.
|What a fantastic bargin and great service!
|Reviewed By D, 15 Feb 2012
I was in my local store (Durham) on Sunday and saw this great offer but I wanted a brown one and they had sold out. The staff were really helpful and they checked availability but the only brown one left in my size was at the Bristol store. I checked the website on Monday and again there was no Brown available so I rang the Bristol store at 5.50pm and they confirmed they had one left. The staff were great so I paid over the phone and it arrived wednesday in the post - what a fantastic service, great product and what a bargin! Love the coat and colour - its lovely and warm.Haven't seen one any cheaper.
|Whoop whoop!

I absolutely love, love this coat. It is lightweight yet very warm. I am a size 12 usually but found the small (10) fit perfectly, even with a jumper underneath. It is fitted so doesn't look bulgie at all. Fab bargain at £149 I have never seen them this low before. Staff at the cstore were very helpful. thsnks.

I loved this coat every time i saw it, then it was in the sale and i had to have it, its very warm even in the coldest weather, a must buy.
|Warm, extremely light and flattering
|Reviewed By Catherine, 13 Feb 2012
I tried the Artic Parka which was waterproof however it just looked a bit sack like, as did the Grace jacket. The Metropolis Parka is so light that you don't feel like you're wearing a coat. On the rack it doesn't look like it has much shape however it is really flattering once on. I'm normally a size 12 however i found the small fitted well and i can get a few base layers and a fleece underneath without it feeling too tight. So happy with it and know it will be well used!
|One Delightd Girlfriend
|Reviewed By Robin, 10 Feb 2012
Got this in white in the sale for my girlfriend as a surprise, she dropped hints whenever she saw another woman wearing one. We've just been out for a test walk in the cold and she says it's the cosiest coat ever. Looks good too, compliments her figure.
|Nice coat.
|Reviewed By Fiona, 06 Feb 2012
I ordered this for a forthcoming trip to Iceland. When it arrived, it seemed much thinner than I was expecting, and I wasn't sure how warm it would be. Fortunately we were then hit by snow, so I could put it through its paces. It is lovely and warm - despite its lightness. I got an XL - I'm a 14-16, and it is a bit big, but has room for extra layers underneath. Only downside (and it's minor) is it's very slippery - so my bag kept slipping off my shoulder!
|Pure Warmth!
|Reviewed By R, 05 Feb 2012
Absolutely the best buy ever! I would recommend this to anyone who dont cope with cold too well (like me) and you will see that buying this jacket is money well spent. I ordered a size M and it is exactly the right length and fits like a glove - also very smart to look at. Very very pleased with my purchase.
|Great winter coat.
|Reviewed By Claire, 18 Jan 2012
I bought this coat a few months ago and I must say it is absolutely wicked! It is knee length, has an adjustable hood, full length storm flap and is very light weight. I am a UK size 12 and wear a size medium, it is a comfortable "active" fit, not too baggy nor tight. It is perfect for everyday wear, whether in the city or out walking the dogs. It is NOT waterproof but will quickly dry if put in a tuble drier on a low setting.. Throw in a tennis ball and this will puff out the down filling. This coat is amazing, you got to have it.
|also great for the guys
|Reviewed By James, 09 Jan 2012
i've long wanted a long down coat but trying to find one for guys is very hard so i got this and it's just perfect, fits very well, isn't really fitted, it's light and very warm - i've had lots of complements saying it looks great

This coat is so light yet so warm and is also so stylish that my wife can wear it for shopping, winter walking or winter holidaying on the continnt. Without doubt the best coat she has ever owned and will last years.
|Excellent winter coat
|Reviewed By Kerry, 27 Oct 2011
I have been looking since last year for a cosy coat which comes down to my knees and have found very few to my taste. This parka is very flattering and doesn't make me look frumpy like others I have tried on, plus it should keep me warm even if we have a temperature drop like last year. The pockets are nice and deep with a soft lining. Most other coats I've tried on have hoods which will blow down at the first puff of wind. This hood has elastic round it which can be tightened and means it will stay up in a gale. Bring on the cold weather!

As a way to increase braking performance, the brake pads and rotors are make of a softer material and may be in need of replacement after approximately 20,000 miles; owners should be vigilant about getting their brakes checked.
An engine Oil leak may develop from the PCV vent housing on the valve cover and/or the inspection plate on the front of the engine.
The rubber bond in the harmonic balancer can decay, which causes the balancer to move and work its way toward the timing cover. If the balancer comes into contact with the timing cover while the engine is running, it will fracture and damage the cover and potentially other surrounding parts. The harmonic balancer should be inspected at every service.
It is not uncommon to encounter premature failure of the anti-lock brake system (ABS) modulator assembly due to dirty brake fluid. Our technicians recommend flushing the brake fluid every two years in order to help prevent this problem.
Vehicles equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission may develop a rough shifting condition, most commonly going up from first to second gear and going down from third to second or second to first gear. Our technicians tell us this is due to an internal component failure. Mercedes has released updated parts; the transmission will need to be removed and disassembled to complete the necessary repairs.
An engine oil leak may develop from the oil level sensor. Replacement of the leaking sensor will commonly correct this concern.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by driveshaft flex discs, which crack and shred, causing excessive driveshaft movement. Not repairing these can cause damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, or, in the worst case scenario, damage to the transmission or differential.

A little more than a month after postponing their show due to Mike Campbell's heat exhaustion, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers returned to the Blossom Music Center Tuesday night to bring the rock to Cleveland.
Affable, Athens-based rockers Drive-By Truckers reprised their role as the show opener, dropping a nifty hour-long set that featured several songs from their new album, The Big To-Do. Frontman Patterson Hood dedicated "Road Cases," a deep cut off the band's much-lauded Southern Rock Opera album, to "the two best road crews in the world - the Heartbreakers crew and the DBT crew."
The roar from the nearly 20,000 screaming Heartbreakers fans at Blossom Music Center Tuesday night following Tom's introduction of Mike Campbell after "Breakdown" is something no one in attendance will soon forget. Visibly moved by the thunderous ovation, Mike tapped his fist over his heart before raising it to the crowd, a classic rock 'n roll moment on this epic summer tour.

Century-old blades from shingle mill found
Old saw blades rest in a storm water outflow near the Stillaguamish River on Tuesday morning.

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Arlington public works employees Mike Wolanek (left) and Bill Blake hold up a pair of historic saw blades on the foundation of an old shingle mill along the Stillaguamish River on Tuesday morning. The blades were found in a storm water outflow near the river by public works employees.
A bit of that history remains.
A few months ago, an Arlington public works crew was working a maintenance job at the city's storm water outfall pipe south of Haller Park. There they pulled two pieces of metal sticking out from the banks of the Stilly.
It didn't take Mike Wolanek but a minute to realize what he found were shingle mill saw blades, each weighing about 30 pounds. Round, rusted and long buried, the blades were found near the crumbling foundation of a former shingle mill.
"At first I wondered if the metal was part of some sort of old gate to keep the river out of the pipe, but when I saw the teeth, I knew it was a blade," Wolanek said.
By the 1890s, the river confluence was home to at least three shingle mills. Historical photos show cedar logs lining the river bank near the railroad trestle. Shingle mills continued to be a big part of the local economy when Arlington was incorporated in 1903 and some kept running until after World War I. By the Great Depression, the mills were gone and many people were out of work.
Some people in town believe that at some point Arlington was known as the "shingle capital of the world." However, Everett Public Library's in-house historian David Dilgard said that might be apocryphal.
"Shingle mills were enormously important to Arlington, but mills in Ballard and in Everett were producing much more," Dilgard said. "I am glad to hear that the city has found those blades. They are the implements of a vanished way of life. It's tremendous."
City officials believe that the saw blades that Wolanek found are about 100 years old and were used by the Brown-Kunze Co. Shingle Mill, the last remnants of which are a foundation in the woods with a maple tree growing in the middle.
The foundation is adjacent to the city's Old Town Wetland Park, constructed two years ago as a way to clean the storm water runoff flowing from downtown Arlington. The blades eventually are to be displayed at the wetland park.
Wolanek and his colleague Bill Blake surmise that the mills were built close to the river for easy access to floating logs as well as river water, which was boiled to provide steam power for the mills.
"People dumped all sorts of things over the banks of the river," said Blake, who is the natural resources manager for the city. "We decided to rescue the blades to preserve them and use them for educational purposes."

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The music world lost one of the baddest men to strum a guitar. The world lost one of its most gentle souls. I, like many others, lost an old pal.
Corby Yates, the prodigy, took his life Sept. 24. He struggled with mental illness in his final years. He was 31.
It remains a tough one to digest, because he left us too soon.
Tahoe music lovers may be familiar with his work. Corby performed at the Crystal Bay Casino three times between 2005 and 2008, as well as the Village at Squaw and myriad blues venues across the state throughout the late 1990s and 2000s.
He was a rare talent and even better human being - short on stature, with a selfless, humble disposition and an uncanny mastery of his guitar.
I recall hearing about his exploits for the first time. I was a sophomore at Sierra High School, Corby a freshman. My dad's buddy Jimbo had just watched Corby perform at a Shaver Lake bar the night before.
Like countless others, he was blown away, ranting and raving about the smoking performance by this 14-year-old, 5-foot-nothing kid.
Soon enough, I witnessed his freakish ability firsthand. Jimbo did not exaggerate.
Corby absolutely slayed it, laying down Stevie Ray Vaughan covers like nobody's business - "Texas Flood," "Tin Pan Alley," "Pride and Joy" - with the support of a drum machine and his father Jim on the bass. His stubby fingers became blurs of motion, lightening quick and precise, while his face contorted wildly with every note.
Word spread quickly. One of our own, mountain-grown classmates was a world-class talent, a no-miss rock star in the making - minus the ego. Such was readily apparent at first greeting, and further confirmed with every encounter. Corby was a genuinely good dude.
Take, for example, the following comment, posted by guitarist Jim Damiano to a recent Santa Cruz Patch (santacruzpatch.com) article about Corby's death:
"I played at the Sonora Blues Festival and was privileged to meet Corby. I came to understand quickly and quietly that he was one of the kindest musicians I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I have never, and will never meet another guitarist of his magnitude that was totally without ego. I will miss you Corby. I will never forget your kind smile and gentle spirit. R.I.P."
Well stated.
At 17, Corby gained national recognition when he won the 18-and-under division of the Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Competition in Seattle, a feat that earned him a pearly white, custom guitar and an opportunity to jam with the remaining members of Band of Gypsys.
Yet he remained humble.
After high school, Corby expanded his fan base by playing numerous gigs in the Fresno area and beyond, impressing folks with a broad range of blues covers, from his old Stevie Ray Vaughan staples to Hendrix classics the likes of "Red House" and "Voodoo Child," and even a unique rendition of "Dear Mr. Fantasy" by Traffic. Before long, he strayed from the covers that kick-started his career and began playing his own music almost exclusively.
Corby soon moved to Santa Cruz and released his first CD, self titled, in 2001 (he also recorded a cassette tape in 1996). He later released "Back from Yesterday," in 2003, and "Fungus Blues," in 2006. The ethereal "Inside Oblivion" was released in 2012.
Well past the days of a drum machine, the Corby Yates Band became an even hotter act once landing drummer Andy Doerschuk, a hard-hitting, talented musician and the editor of Drum! Magazine.
Corby and his power trio performed with big-name blues artists such as John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, Robin Trower and Tommy Castro, among others. The Corby Yates Band was on the map.
Another comment from the Santa Cruz Patch article, one about Corby's sheer playing ability, was beautifully expressed and should be shared. It was posted by David Arthur West.
"At JJ'S BLUES in San Jose, I mixed sound and recorded Corby, Jim, Andy for a majority of their shows there. Corby was astonishing to watch and listen to. He created a singular giant organism with every person and all the instrumentation fused in tune with a frequency of indescribable effect to the 3rd or 4th power - like an interstellar Jet Ski - that always ended in a smooth landing.
"Watching his stout fingers frailing the strings at times would not synch with the resulting webs of layering sounds and rhythms swirling around the room. There was more sound than the sum total of all his fingers could physically produce - by commonly accepted standards. There marks the line between 'skilled' and 'genius.'..."
Well stated.
One of my fondest memories of those days was when my dad and I spent a weekend visiting Corby and Jim at their Santa Cruz home. We hung on the beach, toured downtown, blasted tunes, tripped around the Mystery Spot, talked music and life, and laughed. Times were good.
Corby was still in his touring prime when I moved to Tahoe in 2005. Shortly after the move, I was excited to learn that he was coming to the North Shore to perform. I rallied a group of workmates for the occasion, and even wrote a preview article for Lake Tahoe Action.
He returned on a couple of occasions to play in Tahoe, most recently in 2008. I brought another crew of friends to that show - Bunker, Renee and Andy, Matt and Eva, and my old neighbor, Doug. By that time Corby's band had transformed. Instead of his father on the bass and Doerschuk on the drums (he played with other drummers in his career as well), good high school buddies and musicians Ian Blesse and Toby Cordova filled out the trio.
That's when I first noticed something wasn't quite right about Corby. He was always on the shy side, but never to this degree. He seemed withdrawn, uneasy. We hung out for bit afterward, Ian, Toby and my crew - and Corby. Only, it wasn't the same old Corby.
His website, once commonly updated with a listing of upcoming shows and other activity, became less and less active. He and his father, who had relocated to Humboldt County, had moved again, and to an even less populated area near Brownsville.
I saw Corby one final time, the following summer when my dad helped organize a dual retirement party for a couple of family friends, and hired Corby to play. I remember Corby expressing how excited he was to perform - a private gig full of friends from his home.
But still, there was something different about him, disturbingly so. He wasn't the same happy-go-lucky Corby, no matter how much I tried to pry it out of him.
Little did I know, Corby was struggling with his mental health - schizophrenia.
And that was it. I never saw him again.
There's a cliche saying that states, "The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long."
That was Corby.

Men's Volleyball Scores First-Ever Conference Victory; Wins Five-Set Thriller over King
February 12, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Mens volleyball at Pfeiffer University made history again on Friday night as the Falcons secured their first-ever Conference Carolinas victory with a 3-2 (32-30, 25-30, 30-25, 24-30, 15-9) win over King College inside the Merner Gym. Pfeiffer improves its overall mark to 3-3, 1-1 in league play. The Tornados drop their first conference match dipping to 0-3, 0-1.
The Falcons needed a couple of extra points in set one to grab the early advantage. Micah Bortner (Dallastown, PA), Andrew Whalen (Apopka, FL) and Eric Edelman (Henrietta, NY) each had four kills in the opening win. James Friddle (Cartersville, GA) led the Tornados with eight kills, but King couldnt stop Pfeiffer from hitting .342 in the first set win.
King bounced back for a five-point set number two win. Friddle paced the Tornados with five more kills using a late-run for the 30-25 win. Clancy Gay (Cincinnati, OH) led the Falcons with seven kills in the second set.
Set three and four again went back and forth, including the final score, as Pfeiffer scored the 30-25 win in set three while King again came back for a 30-24 win to force a fifth set. Through the fourth, Gay had pushed his kill total to 13 while Bortner registered an even dozen. Friddle again continued to pace King with 20 kills.
In the deciding set, points went back and forth with King holding an 8-7 lead halfway through the contest. This time, it was Pfeiffers turn to bounce back hitting .333 in the final set to finish where they started, scoring their first league win in the schools history.
Friddle finished with a match-high 20 kills followed by Michael Koebel (Richmond, VA) and Cameron Sitler (Pearland, TX) with 12. Pfeiffer finished with a team-high 14 kills from Gay while Bortner capped at 13, Whalen at 11.
The Falcons will continue action this weekend in the Lucky Dog Invitational with an exhibition match against Virginia Techs club team and then finished the event with York on Sunday. First matches on Saturday begin at 11:00 a.m.

Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[4] For more information pertaining to Meng's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[5]
National security
National Defense Authorization Act
Meng voted in opposition of HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[6]
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations
Meng voted in opposition of HR 2217 - the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 and was largely along party lines.[6]
Keystone Pipeline Amendment
Meng voted in favor of House Amendment 69, which would have amended HR 3 to "require that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security, conduct a study of the vulnerabilities of the Keystone XL pipeline to a terrorist attack and certify that necessary protections have been put in place." The amendment failed on May 22, 2013, with a vote of 176 - 239 and was largely along party lines.[6]
Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act
Meng voted in support of HR 624 - the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities.[7] The bill was largely supported by Republicans but divided the Democratic Party.[6]
Farm Bill
- See also: United States Farm Bill 2013
Meng voted against the Farm Bill on July 11, 2013. The bill passed in a 216-208 vote.[8] The bill passed included farm policy, but did not include food stamps.[9]
King Amendment
Meng signed a letter sent to Collin Peterson in August 2013, asking him to keep Steve King's amendment out of the final Farm Bill.[10] The "Protect Interstate Commerce Act" amendment prevents states from applying their own laws on agricultural products to agricultural products from another state.[11]. King introduced the amendment in response to a law in California, requiring a larger size cage for egg-producing chickens. King represents Iowa, which is a large egg producer.
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[12] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[13] Meng voted against the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[14]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funds the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[15] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Meng voted for HR 2775.[16]
Morton Memos Enforcement Prohibition
Meng voted against House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[17] The vote largely followed party lines.[18]
Repealing Obamacare
Meng has voted against all attempts to repeal or delay the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[19]
Social issues
Meng voted against HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[20]
Campaign themes
Meng listed some of her campaign themes on her website:[21]
- "Creating jobs for hardworking families in Queens will be my top priority when I get to Congress. While we avoided plunging into a second Great Depression following the 2008 financial crisis, economic growth is still too slow and our unemployment rate is still too high. I have a clear vision and 4-point plan for bringing jobs back to Queens:
- Immediate federal aid to local and state governments to hire more teachers, police officers and firefighters.
- Federal transportation dollars – and transportation-related jobs – to Queens. I will seek appointment to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure in order to achieve this objective.
- Tax credits for small businesses that hire new workers.
- Investment in technological advancement and initiatives that will help Queens thrive as a technology corridor.
- As a Member of Congress, I will oppose the right-wing assault on the health care and senior citizen programs that are so crucial to the fabric of our society. I believe that every citizen should have access to quality, affordable health care; that individuals with pre-existing conditions should not be denied coverage; and that young people should continue to be able to stay on their parents' insurance until they are 26.
- We must also pass sensible, pro law enforcement gun legislation. In Congress I will fight for legislation:
- Requiring all new semiautomatic pistols be capable of microstamping ammunition so that investigators can use bullet shell casings to identify perpetrators of gun violence;
- Ensuring that all individuals prohibited from buying a firearm are uploaded to the national instant criminal background check system;
- Requiring a background check for every firearm sale; and
- Requiring employees of dealers in firearms submit to criminal background checks."
Her priorities in Congress involve building up the transportation system and tourism in Queens, as well as raising taxes on the wealthy to allow for hiring more firefighters and police officers in the borough.[22]
Meng ran for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. She is seeking the Democratic nomination in the primary election. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Meng was elected to the U.S. House from New York's 5th congressional district in 2012.[23][24] She defeated fellow New York Assembly member Rory Lancman, city councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley and physician Robert Mittman in the June 26 Democratic primary.[25] Meng defeated Lancman (Working Families), Daniel Halloran (R), and Evergreen Chou (G) in the November 6, 2012 general election.
Elizabeth Crowley's cousin, U.S. Representative and Queens Democratic Party Chairman Joseph Crowley, endorsed Meng over his relative. As a local Democratic leader, the congressman is heavily invested in the race; analysts suggest he would benefit from backing a winner after he endorsed a candidate in 2010 who went on to lose to Republican Bob Turner in an upset.[26]
Regardless, the party is not expected to lose the seat. Joe Crowley's interest in supporting Meng was more about bolstering the "perceived strengths" of the local Democratic organization, analysts say.[26] Meng did have the cash advantage, as well as the race advantage in a 40-percent Asian district. She was endorsed by The New York Times and EMILY's List,[26] among others.[27]
Lancman made a race of it, however. He was endorsed by the New York Daily News and the Queens Chronicle, and strongly pursued the Jewish vote.[26] He and Meng were involved in some intense campaigning, each sharply criticizing the other.[28][29] Lancman sent out a mass mailing decrying Meng's and Crowley's stances on Israel and national defense.[29]
Lancman also accused Meng of not supporting New York Assembly legislation to increase the tax on millionaires. Meng says she was instrumental in passing the measure, and some Assembly leadership have said both Lancman and Meng played a big roll in the new tax bill.[28]

Buckeye Valley's girls soccer team started the season just the way it wanted to Monday, cruising past a young River Valley team to the tune of a 13-0 win.
The Barons (1-0) certainly shared the wealth as goals came from 10 different players, including girls representing all four grades.
Taylor Hyatt was the lone multi-goal contributor, while three seniors — Lindsay Hope, Jackie Penny and Kirsten Gross — scored their first varsity goals after moving from defense to offense once the game was out of reach.
"It was a great way to start the season," Buckeye Valley coach Sophie Halliday said. "We were working on ball movement and really shared the wealth. River Valley is a young team, just getting started, but they competed from start to finish, which was nice to see."
BV, which will open the home portion of its schedule today against Tree of Life, had a 10-0 lead at halftime.
Hilliard Davidson narrowly edged host Olentangy Monday at Oakhaven, holding on for a 196-203 win.
The Braves were led by Ashley Parker, who carded a 44. Other top contributors included Brooke Stinnette, who finished with a 46; Christina Gioffre, who closed with a 55; and Amanda Chirico, who had a 58.
Buckeye Valley blanked host Marysville Monday, getting an impressive three-set win from Ashley Lowe, who knocked off the Monarchs' Megan Marsh 6-4, 3-6 7-6 (7-4) in a three-hour marathon at third singles.
Other Baron contributors included Kelsey Baesman, who defeated Haley Willoughby 6-0, 6-1 at first singles; Lynn Conley, who beat Ashley Weiss 6-3, 6-1 at second singles; the duo of Nicole Mullins and Becky Votaw, who teamed up to secure a 6-2, 7-5 win at first singles; and Amber Green and Hana Hall, who nabbed a 7-5, 6-0 win at second doubles.
• Big Walnut improved its overall mark to 3-0 Monday, dropping visiting Jonathan Alder 3-2 in non-league action.
The Golden Eagles were led by Grace Coffman, who picked up a hard-fought 6-1, 5-7 6-2 win over Alyssa Pine at second singles; Maranda Iezzi and Megan Amos, who combined to beat Brihon Zook and Emily Brooks 6-4, 6-0 at first doubles; and the duo of Emily Balaz and Bailey Sewalk, who beat Emily Walbow and Lindsay Alexander 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 at second doubles.
Olentangy made some noise in Monday's Gahanna Invitational at Jefferson Country Club, closing fourth with a combined 327.
The Braves were boosted by Nathan Curtis and Jeff Dailey, who wrapped up respective rounds of 76 and 82 on the par 72 course.
Orange and Big Walnut were also in action, finishing 10th and 11th with respective team totals of 343 and 346.

A story from PBS that talks about whether border patrol agents have been using excessive force curb illegal immigration is a good example of computer assisted reporting.
The journalist searched for the records regarding the amount of deaths by border patrol agents as well as video taken by on-lookers showing an individual getting beaten. Skills that a journalist would need to do a story like this is searching government records and interpreting them.
