The Sag Harbor School Board will appoint an interim board member rather than host a special election to fill the seat recently vacated by long time board member Walter Wilcoxen. The decision was made at a highly anticipated August 13 board meeting in front of an audience of roughly 30 members of the community who came to hear how the vacancy would be filled, as well as offer input on the process.
At the suggestion of Superintendent Dr. John Gratto, the school board opted to hold a public meet-the-candidates forum in the coming weeks to determine which of seven prospective candidates they would appoint.
"It's a way to introduce all the candidates to the public and ask everybody the same questions, and not only have the board hear from the candidates, but the public, as well," said President Theresa Samot in an interview.
She noted the board is currently in the process of choosing a convenient date and time for both the candidates and the current board members.
"My guess is it's probably going to be a couple of weeks before we can find a date that works for everyone," Samot said.
In the past month, the board has received letters of interest from seven individuals: Marian Cassata, Stephen Clarke, David Diskin, Tom Gleeson, Jonathan Glynn, Susan Kinsella and Thomas Re. The person appointed will serve roughly a nine-month term, until a regular election is held in May 2013.
While the decision to appoint a candidate was unanimous, it came after an initial vote on the possibility of holding a special election. Samot and Ed Drohan originally voted in favor of an election, while Kruel, Gregg Schiavoni and Vice President Chris Tice opposed the motion.
Although board member Mary Anne Miller was absent from the meeting, she did announce via email that she supported holding a special election. However, New York State Law requires an individual to be present at a board meeting in order for his/her vote to be counted.
For Schiavoni, deciding between an election and an appointment was dependent upon how many candidates planned to run.
If all or most of the seven candidates had decided to run, "I would lean toward an election," he said early in the meeting. "But if it's, say, three or less, I would do the appointment."
Prompted by Schiavoni's question, the board took an informal survey of candidates present at the meeting and discovered that only three were certain they would run.
At the same time, a number of community members had encouraged the Sag Harbor School Board to elect, rather than appoint, its new member. During the public input of the board meeting, several people spoke out in favor of an election, including Diane Hewett, who presented the board with a petition of over 300 signatures.
While audience member Thomas Jones said he was sympathetic to the "unfortunate situation" the board was in, he warned that appointing someone could cause the distrust in the community.
"Don't appoint someone, because you're going to get arrows thrown at you. Big time," he said.
Upon hearing public input, several board members expressed their frustration with what they believed was an unfair depiction of the board in the petition and in the media.
"The decision to [elect or appoint] would be easier if there was an accurate portrayal of the situation by the political activists who are stirring the pot," Drohan said.
Kruel agreed: "I sit here every other Monday night…because I care about children, not because I want daggers thrown at me, jabs made at me in the newspaper or comments made as I walk down the street—or even to my children, which has occurred."
At the meeting, Tice explained that the district had been in contact with the New York State School Board Association to find out what other boards do in similar situations. They discovered that most school boards rarely hold special elections because voter turnouts for these tend to be significantly lower than for regular elections.
"Even in communities that have a large voter turnout, when they have special elections they may get 20 percent of their normal turnout," Tice said. "It's not really representative of the community."
Kruel added that the Bridgehampton School Board recently appointed a previous candidate to the board after one of its members suddenly resigned last month.
Meanwhile, it is unlikely that the Sag Harbor School Board seat will be filled anytime soon. Samot said that depending on the availability of the board and of the candidates, a decision might not be made until September.

City of Lacrosse Elves??
City of La Crosse employees are showing the true spirit of the holiday season by donating toys, gifts and gift certificates to families in need this holiday season. Earlier this fall members of the City of La Crosse Human Resources Department contacted the School District of La Crosse to get a list of students and families that could use some extra support this holiday season. Since then, the pile of gifts has turned to a mountain in the Human Resources office.
Yesterday, members of the district's student support services staff collected those donations from the City of La Crosse Human Resources Office and prepared them for distribution to families.
Over 100 employees took part playing the role of elves.

Super Hero Scrub Jay
Last evening I was standing in front of the sliding glass door to my back deck, watching the raindrops as they poured down out of the darkening skies and whipped and sprayed and splattered around the yard in the wind. Suddenly, our neighborhood scrub jay, Mr. Blue, swooped out of the wetness to make a splash landing in front of the door.
He stood there in the rain, a sopping wet, bedraggled, pitiful example of the species, as water dripped off the tip of his beak and joined the falling raindrops.
I turned to my son, Karl, who was heating himself a pan of soup on the stove. "Mr. Blue is willing to sell his soul for a peanut," I said.
"Wow, what happened to him?" Karl answered. "He looks like a wet sponge!"
At that point the cats, Tut and Newman, came trotting up to stare out the door at the drowning bird. The cats hate the jays. Being indoor cats, there's no way they can ever get out and try to catch them and the jays know it. Mr. Blue and his cohorts do everything in their power to drive the cats crazy (and they do!). They peck on the windows, tap, tap, tapping at the cats' chamber door, and they scream their harsh, rasping cries at the cats whenever they see them through the windows. Tut usually hides in the corner beside the door so he can't see the jays, figuring out of sight, out of mind, but it doesn't work because I can always hear him whining. This time, however, both cats clearly wanted to see what was going on. And enjoy it.
A soggy scrub jay standing out in the cold rain while the cats were sitting in a nice, warm kitchen was just too good to let pass. You ever see a cat grin? It's not a pretty sight. You ever see a cat rolling around on the floor in hysterics? Scary.
While the cats were still rolling around in their little fit of hysteria and feline revenge, I quietly slid open the door and dropped a small handful of roasted, unsalted peanuts on the deck in front of Mr. Blue.
With a flick of his wings and a sudden violent shudder that shook every single drop of water off of his body, there was a great bright flash of blue light as Mr. Blue, The Blue Flash Super Hero Jay, appeared out of nowhere to stand tall and defiant … and dry … mere inches away from the suddenly attentive cats on the other side of the glass door.
The now incredibly beautiful jay picked up one of the peanuts (the biggest) in his beak and disappeared noisily into the depths of the redwood tree.
"NO!" screamed the cats as they both slunk away from the door. "NO! NO! NO!"
Karl shook his head a couple of times and turned back to finish fixing his soup.
"You know, nobody back at college would ever believe me if I told them about this place," he said.

When I want to be alone, which is often considering I am an only child with an independent streak as obvious as a forehead tattoo and my work requires me to be in constant contact with hundreds of others, one of my favorite activities, especially during this dreary season, is to curl up, eat unhealthy food and watch movies IтАЩve seen a billion times.
Although I have what I think of as fairly refined musical taste, my film preferences are iffy at best and a mockery at worst. While I appreciate cerebral, character-driven Oscar winners such as тАЬThe KingтАЩs SpeechтАЭ and тАЬThe DescendantsтАЭ and can totally understand the value of a good documentary, when couch/junk food mode kicks in, all I want to watch are cheesy romantic comedies, sci-fi fantasy movies and most embarrassingly, blockbuster action movies.
The blissfully unrealistic тАЬYouтАЩve Got MailтАЭ and the 1995 remake of тАЬSabrinaтАЭ top my list of chick flicks. I am so unrestrained in my love for the тАЬThe Lord of the RingsтАЭ and тАЬStar WarsтАЭ trilogies that I canтАЩt watch them in anything less than their entireties, and the adrenaline rush I derive from watching such epic action sequences as the car-carrier on the bridge sequence of тАЬBad Boys IIтАЭ routinely results in me giving Michael Bay a standing ovation.
Sadly, my worthless cinematic choices usually influence what I eat while IтАЩm watching said movies. As the flicks do nothing for my intellectual growth or enrichment, my snacks do nothing for my health. Just like my favorite movies are mixture of genres, my ideal treat blends both sweet and salty.
This adventurous twist on caramel corn makes a ton, so itтАЩs perfect for a crowd. or if youтАЩre a loner like me, you can box up the rest and share it with your co-workers and friends when youтАЩre finished indulging your appetite for guilty pleasures and solitude.
Crunchy Caramel Candy Corn
16 cups popped popcorn (1/2 c. unpopped)
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. corn syrup
1/2 c. butter
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
15 fun sized candy bars (I use Twix, Milky Way and 1000 Grands)
1 c.white chocolate chips
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. shortening
Pop popcorn as directed. Into a medium sized glass bowl or large glass measuring cup, place butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Heat in microwave 1 minute. Stir the ingredients together with a wooden spoon. Repeat this step four more times until very bubbly and hot.┬а
Add the baking soda, vanilla and a dash of salt.┬аPour the popcorn into a large brown paper grocery sack. Pour the caramel right into the bag on top of the popcorn. Stir it around with a wooden spoon.┬а
Fold the bag over and place it in the microwave, heat for 1 minute. Take the bag out of the microwave and shake very well. Return bag to microwave and heat for an additional 30 second, then shake it again.┬аPour the caramel corn out onto a large jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper.┬а
Chop candy bars and lay them out over the caramel corn.┬аHeat the white chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating interval.
DonтАЩt let chocolate get too hot. Add 1/2 tsp. shortening to the melted chocolate and stir to combine.┬а
Drizzle the white chocolate over the top of the caramel corn and candy bars.┬аMelt the semi-sweet chocolate just like you melted the white chocolate. Drizzle over the caramel corn.
Let the chocolate set up (Pop it into the fridge for 10 minutes to hurry along the process). Break into chunks and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Fred Karger–the openly gay, Jewish, pro-choice, pro-LGBT, pro-pot, anti-war GOP candidate–beat Ron Paul in the Puerto Rico primary Sunday. In New Hampshire, Karger beat out Michele Bachmann.
Karger, who has no SuperPAC and despite qualifying for the GOP debates has been excluded from the podium, traveled to Puerto Rico in advance of the primary, spending six days on the island campaigning:
We spent the past 6 days campaigning hard in Puerto Rico and it worked. Ron Paul has been in all 20 debates, raised $35 million, and has 80% name identification and it looks like we beat him with our message of jobs now, moderation and inclusion.
Karger's strategy–meeting with Republican leaders, students, the LGBT Community and lots of voters over the last six days, a Spanish-language television commercial, "Hola Puerto Rico" and passing out lots of Frisbees–paid off.
It should be interesting to see how Karger, who is vastly underspending his fellow GOP candidates, fares in the upcoming primaries. I hope he gets on Colbert, and makes it into the debates.
Mitten$ Rmoney won the Puerto Rico primary by a landslide. [cont'd.]

Everton cost me 179 pounds yesterday

Everton cost me 179 pounds yesterday
Interesting fact,Fernando Torres (12 games,4 goals) has a worse goals per games ratio than Luca Toni (9 goals in 4 games),that is bad,no excuses.
For me.. Yesterday showed we don't have that classy midfielder to unlock the door in a tight situation, Scholes and Carrick can do it.. But we could do with a Mata/Silva type of player IMO.
Anderson has his good games, but he's nowhere near consistent enough to be the creative force we need.
All in all.. well played Norwich, they were awesome and deserved there win for the effort put in, I do feel had we had Rooney fit and available it would have been a different game.
Won 2-0 against VVV Venlo. We played horrible.
We're gonna beat Dortmund this Wednesday any way:D

Brie: On Saturday, we all went to Ely and Wicken Fen with all the Dickinson kids. When Marianh and I first hopped on the bus, we knew it was going to be a great day – seats right behind Crouch and Becky! They're just too darn cute. And the Dickinson Humanities professor, Prof. Qualls, brought his whole family with him, including a precious little 3 year old girl.
When we first arrived in Ely, we visited the Oliver Cromwell house. Apparently before he got involved in the Civil War and named himself Lord Protector, he was a tithe-collector for Ely Cathedral. The house was decorated in the style of the times, and we picked up some old school recipes for a tussie-mussie (fragrant herb bouquet) and eel pie (not trying that one). Fun fact: they used to eels as currency in the city. I think we both enjoyed watching the little kids running around in 17th c. attire more than the tour of the house.
From there, we headed to the famous Ely Cathedral and were stunned by the gorgeous Victorian woodwork. The cathedral was beautiful, as always, and it made us reflect on all of the wonderful houses of worship we've visited. We agreed that the chapel at Kings College from last weekend in Cambridge had to be one of the tops. Needless to say, we've always been impressed. Our friend, Mike, said it best, "you would never be able to find anything like this in America. They're just so good with their stonework!" Deep truths.
As we left the Cathedral, we headed towards the place we (mostly me) had been looking forward to all week. The APPLE FESTIVAL, guys! Is there really anything more autumnal? (Besides Dollywood's Gospel & Harvest Celebration…) We bought some delicious gingerbread muffins, tasted some outstanding sheep's cheese, tested the children's apple hats, and listened to the official Ely Renaissance Band. It was a little chilly and rainy, but we warmed our bones with a Pork & Apple Burger (Marianh) and traditional Hog Roast sandwich with stuffing and apple sauce. As if that weren't enough, we downed some piping hot cider while cheering for the kids' Spoon 'n' Apple race. The best part of the Ely Festival was that EVERYONE looked so darn British. There was so much tweed, and hunting caps going on. So precious.
We were sad to leave Ely, but we hopped onto the bus towards Wicken Fen. The fens used to be marshland surrounding Ely that was rich in peat (and eels). Peat was a very richly mineralized soil that was used as fuel and structure for homes as well as a hearty fertilizer. Unfortunately, the land was dried to increase the area for farming, and much of the region's natural habitat was compromised. In the late 1800s, Wicken Fen was purchased as one of the earliest nature reserves in England. Now, the park is almost back to its original richness, and is host to more than 29 species of mammal, 200 species of bird, 1000 species of butterfly and moth, and almost 2000 species of fly. It's a huge example of biodiversity, and it's said that even Darwin collected beetles on Wicken Fen.
On the bus back, we were both tuckered out, but we made plans to eat dinner out in Norwich. And boy, are we glad we did. Our friend Molly joined us for some Mediterranean mezes downtown. I threw down a solid 20 pounds, but enjoyed a goat cheese and roasted vegetables salad on top of our shared meatballs, beans and sausages, Spanish omelettes, mushrooms, potatoes and more. For dessert, we tried the semolina cake, and splurged on a latte and mocha. We left stuffed and happy, ready to take on the work for a new week.

Dr Oz: Artificial Butter Flavoring
Dr Oz spent this episode discussing what you need to know about Sugar Substitutes, Artificial Sweeteners, Metabolic Syndrome and Natural Sweeteners. He's not shy about controversy, especially when it comes to topics like Arsenic Apple Juice or Brown Rice Arsenic. Next, he's shining the spotlight on another artificial product we can't get enough of: fake butter.
Recent headlines have shouted warnings about a possible link between artificial butter and Alzheimer's Disease. Dr Oz said many concerned viewers wrote in to get the real story from Oz. He said the issue surrounds Diacetyl, which is used in place of real butter in manufactured foods such as cooking spray, cheese, and even your favorite microwave popcorn.
Diacetyl Artificial Butter in Chardonnay Wine!
But you probably never guessed Diacetyl is found in some Chardonnay. Our modern food practices have people choosing manufactured butter substitutes twice as often as natural butter. Is this healthy, or should we be worried about some of the alarming headlines?
Robin said she is a big fan of artificial butters, because they are "fat free, low cholesterol, low calorie" options. She made the switch about 20 years ago, but Dr Oz had some bad news for her as well.
Dr Oz: Artificial Butter Flavor & Alzheimer's Disease Risk
Headlines have mentioned the health risks, such as an Alzheimer's link. Robin said that she was alarmed and worried for her family. But Dr Oz wanted to learn how she uses butter at home. Robin said she usually uses about 10 sprays of artificial butter in a dish.
There are a few calories that can add up in that many sprays, but Dr Oz's greater concern was the chemicals. These butters can be used for various recipes and meals.
How Butter Chemical Affects Memory
Neurons in the brain are nourished and protected by food in our diet. But sometimes, gunk clogs pathways in the brain, leading to irritation and inflammation. That can cause memory loss, which can accelerate to Alzheimer's. This type of clumping in the brain has been linked in at least one study to chemicals in fake butter.
That could be a problem for factory workers where these types of processed foods are produced, though Dr Oz said it could be many years before we have conclusive evidence about the link to humans. But it's enough to alarm Robin.
Are you concerned about the butter substitutes that could be in your cupboard?

If it were the 70's and GPS was around, this one would be groovey. Garmin, in my opinion, is a step ahead of other GPS. I tour around the country for work and having a reliable GPS makes the job a lot easier. No more hunting around for locations, and frankly asking people for directions is a pain. So far, 100% accurate.
This navigator also acts as a picture viewer, MP3 player, world clock, currency converter, and measurement converter & calculator all in one. It sits right on your windshield.
The screen is very easy to read and does not take up a lot of room nor does it interfere with your view of what's most important the road!
The audio is very clear so you don't have to worry about not being able to understand the directions.
The battery only has a 4-8 hour life but if you have a car charger with you can easily recharge while driving.
We have also used it on hikes when we camp and we are very happy to report that no one got lost this year!
All in all this really has helped us get to our destination and we are eager to let everyone know.

I travel a lot and was in the market for an easy to use GPS system that gets down to what it's supposed to do without being burdened with so much technology and frills that it locks up and leaves you with nothing more than an ugly paper weight. Following the hype, at first I was looking at the Tomtom 910, but quickly found from other reviews that the 910's most common compliant was that is locks up frequently and has poor tech support. Those are pretty big red flags so I stayed away from the 910. Well the Garmin name quickly stood out as the number one leader in all categories. A leader in the GPS market, they are fast, easy to use, have a bright screen, accurate and a great value; are just the beginning of the excitement and value you will experience with the Garmin nuvi 350. I'm amazed at how well this product works. Straight from the box, all you do is turn it on, type the address where you want to go (actually all you do is start and it finishes it for you), hit go and you're off. That's all there is to it! It will even tell you the name of the street to turn on before you get to it -- very handy when coming to a crowded intersection. Compact with a large screen, it's easy to take it with you in its leather carrying pouch so you don't have to worry about someone breaking into your car to take it. I saw in other reviews that some felt the audio volume was too weak. They must be driving tanks or their head out the window because mine has plenty of volume. I have mine set at about 3/4 of the volume and it's plenty loud enough to hear over the radio. Would I recommend this product to others? Hands down YES. I told my brother about the Garmin nuvi 350 and he want's one too. If you are looking for a reliable GPS system, this is it. Go with the Garmin nuvi 350.

Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in patients with Gorlin syndrome have been reported to be extremely sensitive to Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors, a novel targeted therapy against the Hedgehog pathway, because of characteristic mutations in these patients. A few cases of disease refractory to oral therapy with SMO inhibitors have been reported in patients with Gorlin syndrome and nonmetastatic BCCs, but refractory disease in distantly metastatic tumors has not been documented in this high-risk group.
A man with Gorlin syndrome and innumerable cutaneous BCCs presented with biopsy-proven BCC in his lungs. After SMO inhibitor therapy, almost all of his cutaneous tumors shrank, but his lung metastases did not. These lung metastases remained refractory to treatment despite institution of a second SMO inhibitor.
Conclusions and Relevance
We report a case of Gorlin syndrome in a patient with metastatic BCC refractory to SMO inhibitors. Furthermore, clinical responses in this patient's cutaneous tumors did not parallel the responses in the distant site. However, serial imaging after diagnosis of metastatic disease can be critical to monitor for response to therapy.
A, Sections of the lung biopsy tissue revealed cribriform glands lined by bland basaloid cells without mitotic activity. This finding was consistent with adenoid basal cell carcinoma, which can be seen in patients with Gorlin syndrome (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×200). B, The lung tissue stained positive for BCL-2, supporting the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×100).
The scans reveal growth of existing basal cell carcinomas (A) and development of new nodules (B, arrow) in the left apical lung while undergoing Smoothened inhibition therapy.

So, Tony and I got together one recent Saturday morning and within roughly one hour had, from start to finish, swapped out the OEM shifter for a new Hurst Billet/Plus(tm) Competition Shifter (whew!), PN 391 5085. The needed tools were few; a T15 Torx driver, 10mm wrench, 3/8 and 9/16 inch wrenches, 3/16 and 1/4 inch hex key (Allen) wrenches, a small-to-medium size flat blade screwdriver, a pair of Vise-Grips, and a hammer. Our personal recommendation would be to have the following on hand: a Torx driver, metric and standard sockets, hex key/Allen wrenches in 3/8 inch drive with a 3/8 inch ratchet wrench, a screwdriver-type Torx driver, metric and standard boxed/open end combo wrenches, and a old-fashioned hand-held hex/Allen wrenches. That way you'll cover every possibility.
With the needed tools on hand, the job is a no-brainer (Hey, Tony and I did it and made it seem simple!). Hurst's instructions were clear and straightforward-follow them and it'll be almost impossible to screw up.
The real proof of the worth for a modification is if the consumer is pleased with his purchase. Tony was, and still is. As soon as we'd buttoned things up and he slipped behind the wheel, (in the shop) to test throw a few shifts, he started grinning like a fool, We went for a relatively short test ride that Saturday, and the more he drove, the happier he seemed to be. I took a turn and would have to say that this was the best shifting production C5 I've ever driven. A few weeks later, his comments include, "The Second to Third shifts are positive and effortless, the best I've ever experienced." "The car is a lot more fun to drive. Before, it was fun; now it's a LOT of fun! It's a pleasure to use if you want to play." And, "Why doesn't Chevrolet do this from the factory?"
Depending on how you perceive things, there is a downside (or two) to the short throw shifter-there's a slight increase in noise and the shorty shifter definitely takes a little bit more muscle to operate. And ol' Tony doesn't mind at all.

Don't Mean Ta Bug Ya
Posted by Will under animals, backyarchaeology, nature
[2] Comments
I had just finished doing the dishes yesterday when I found a leggy little insect about an inch long crawling along the sink. My guess was that it hitched a ride on me when I was doing yardwork earlier that morning so I tried to coax it onto a piece of paper to return it to the wilds of our backyard but it would have none of it.
Eventually it crawled up on my hand and I went outside with it, then decided to get a pic of it, went back inside grabbed the cam from my desk, came back outside and turned the cam on only to find the battery dead, so went back to my desk and loaded the cam up with a spare battery and went back outside… all the while with this fella crawling up and down my arm. Eventually it made its way back to my hand and I got this macro of it on the butt of my palm (click to triplify):
At first I thought it might be a weeeee little mantis, but mantis babies have larger heads and of course those awesome front appendages. Some subsequent googling yielded no answers as to what the bug might be so I dropped in on whatsthatbug.com and took a quick look around, but still couldn't solve the mystery, so I sent them an email with the above photo in hopes of getting a clue.
Turns out from the good folks there emailed me back with the info that it's an assassin bug nymph and I guess I'm pretty lucky in that what with all the back and forth walking I did with it on my arm it didn't afflict upon me what's reported to be a pretty painful bite. Perhaps not as painful as an adult's, but still I've been bitten by voracious ladybug nymphs and those make me go ouch so all in all this cooperative killer spared me some minor agony and in turn it got deposited safe and sound on a bougainvilea branch to go hunt something its bite wouldn't be wasted on.
2 Responses to " Don't Mean Ta Bug Ya "
Just to prepare you. I found a nutty little bug 2 years ago and sent an email to that very same web site.
I'm still waiting for a reply…
That guy has some aweosme SEO, but apparently sucks balls at actually replying or naming that bug.

Here in New England: Hank, a Well-Traveled Dog
"Our hearts soared," Marianne says. "We knew he was alive." Strangers searched hiking trails. People taped Hank's photo to refrigerators. One phone call came from a man who simply said, "I see you found my dog." He had seen the poster with Hank's face and the words: "Help! I'm lost and want to go home!" and thought the Woods were trying to find his owner. Marianne believed that he was Hank's owner when he asked, "Does his left leg still quiver?'" She asked why Hank was so thin, why his leg had never been fixed, why the man had never notified authorities that his dog was lost. Yet from Hank's temperament, she also knew he had apparently been loved. If they ever found Hank, she thought, the family would have a hard decision.
After four weeks, Richard Wood concluded that they would never see Hank again. "I lost confidence that our description of Hank was helping. We were getting calls from people about dogs that in no way could have been Hank. People wanted it to be Hank. But how brown is brown? How big is big? But there wasn't a lot of future in telling Marianne to give up hope. I could see she was willing to go on for a long time." The Chesterfield, New Hampshire, police called. They had picked up a dog that matched Hank's description. But when Marianne looked into the police car, she began to sob. It was not Hank. In late August, the Woods left Northfield to go to a family reunion in New York State. Marianne did not want to go; she had to be there for Hank. But Richard assured her that there were many friends who would keep looking.
This brings us to a sun-splashed day, August 28, 2006, and three intrepid teenage girls. Two of them, Emily Jacke and Rebecca Young, were about to begin their junior year at Northfield Mount Hermon; the third was their friend, Sara Voorhis. They had spent the night before at a sleepover, spinning tales of ghosts, spirits, "all things creepy," as they'd say later. Emily and Rebecca told Sara they'd show her a secret place at their school where spirits lived, a ravine so gloomy and filled with tangled branches and ruins of long-ago structures that few ventured in.
Emily's father waited in his pickup beside a now-empty dormitory while the girls quickly scrambled out of sight. They picked their way across a stream, descending ever deeper into the woods. They dropped stones in abandoned foundations, listening to the ping when they reached a watery bottom. Suddenly, a noise startled them. "Loud enough to make us jump," Sara says. "It was a metallic sound, like a thunder board. Like metal crumpling up." They were alone, they had no cell phone reception — all they had for protection was Sara's pocketknife, which she opened. They should have run out of the ravine. They know that. Sara implored them to see what it was. Nervous and cautious, they moved toward the noise. "We were all jumpy," Emily says. "There was a feeling there was something there. A surrounding presence. Spooky."
They came upon the deep, wide foundation of what they later learned was once a water-collection cistern for the school. They looked down to where the noise kept reverberating. "It's a dog," Rebecca gasped. But not a dog like any of them had ever seen. This dog's ribs poked out. Its paws were ripped and bloody. Its fur was so matted and tangled, it looked more like a phantom than a dog. It frantically climbed a metal beam that reached from the ground to a few feet short of the top, and scrambled up, only to fall down. All around the wall, the dog had left bloody, desperate footprints as it clawed for a foothold. It made no sound except for a thin whine. Amazingly, it wagged its tail. Sara says, "He seemed like he was smiling at us."
Again, the girls would later admit that what they did may have been foolish. Rabid animals do live in the woods. Scared animals can be dangerous and unpredictable. But that was later reflection. Sara lowered herself onto the beam and slowly backed the dog down to the ground. Then, from behind, she urged him up again, lifting him the final few feet into the arms of her friends. Sara fashioned a leash from her belt, and even though the dog was so weak he kept falling over, he pulled her up the hill, across the stream, onto the lush grass where he rolled and rolled, as the girls shrieked, "We found a dog!"
The call reached the Woods from campus security. A dog was found only 100 yards from their house, in a ravine the family did not know existed. The tag matched Hank's. He had been gone 48 days, no doubt toppling into the hole in the darkness, in his terror of a thunderstorm, kept alive, the vet later surmised, by eating moss and dirt. He had lost more than 20 pounds.
For days, Hank would not let Marianne out of his sight. He slowly regained his weight and strength. Marianne drove him around the county, thanking all the people who had helped search. She called the dog's previous owner and said, "We've decided that Hank belongs to us." Driving home after they found Hank, the girls all had the same thought: "Something big just happened here." Something they will always remember about a day when they wandered to a gloomy ravine and found a dog who will surely travel farther than they can imagine, all the way from that deep, water-logged hole, bounding up and over the stream, bounding into the sunlight, bounding back home, traveling all the way into legend.

Heh. I'm getting flashbacks to when I was 10 years old, and newly
returned from British Hong Kong, where I had my early education in
the British government school, there. Imagine me, coming back to the
California public school system with a British accent, and somebody in
school mentioned the Republic of Ireland.
"Republic of Ireland?", I asked, perplexed. "There _is_ no Republic of
Ireland." Boy, did *I* get in trouble over that.
Apparently, the wall map of the United Kingdom at Peak School, Victoria,
Hong Kong Island was pretty damned old. Pre-1922, in fact -- such that
I had been taught that the UK consisted of England, Scotland, Wales, and
Ireland. Period, without the necessary qualifier. But I'm getting
ahead of the story.
Up through the 700s, Ireland was left pretty much to itself, and had a
loose network of about seven Celtic kingdoms that were occasionally
unified but usually not. Around 800, the Vikings arrived and conquered
parts of the island (Go, team!), establishing cities at present-day
Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Cork, Limerick, and other places, before
being slowly driven out a few centuries later. (Too bad.)
This left Ireland fragmented and occasionally descending into civil war,
until the losing party in one such war (Dermot MacMurrough) made
the stupid mistake of appealing to Edward II of England for military
aid, around 1160. He did -- but then of course stuck around, beginning
the English (Norman) conquest of Ireland, by 1200.
Following that, you have rule of Ireland as a series of feudal fiefs,
and then massive confusion and strife after England went partially
Protestant (Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, the Cromwells, William & Mary being
Protestant; James II being Catholic, some others being technically
Protestant but not caring much). This occasioned much fighting in Great
Britain (the larger island comprising England, Wales, and Scotland), but
even more in Ireland, where the Catholic throne finally lost out for
good when James II was exiled, fled to Ireland to raise an army, where
he was pursued and defeated by William III (William of Orange) at the
Battle of the Boyne River.
After that, Catholics on both islands were subjected to legal
discrimination by "Penal Acts" that in many cases stripped them of all
property -- because the British Crown was now militantly Protestant, and
for people to be otherwise was to be suspected of rebellion and treason.
Also, over a period of centuries, many workers from Great Britain
(especially Scots) came and stayed in Ireland, especially in plantations
in the northeast counties. The Protestants there became more prosperous
over the years, while the Catholics became both a local minority and
more and more desperately impoverished.
In 1800, the Act of Union dissolved Ireland's separate Parliament and
merged Ireland completely into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland -- but a union where Ireland would be allowed at most 100 seats
of the full 658, with Catholics prohibited from serving at all.
Most of the Penal Acts were repealed by the mid-1800s, but Ireland
remained politically subordinate to Great Britain in effect and not a
very willing partner. Resentment broke out into an attempted secession
right in the middle of WWI (the Easter Rebellion of 1916, mostly
confined to Dublin), which London repressed and then carried out mass
Far from settling the matter, the British response crystallised an Irish
independence movement, years of guerilla warfare, and eventual
negotiations in 1922 for not one but two Irish "home rule" (local
autonomy, short of independence) parliaments, one in Stormont for the
north, and one in Dublin for the south.
The North accepted -- but then started mob-led killings aimed almost
exclusively at Catholic citizens. The South initially refused the
almost-independence offer, and then eventually negotiated an agreement
whereby they'd get 26 of the island's 32 counties as an
almost-independent state (the Irish Free State), while the northern six
counties would remain more tightly bound to London, but likewise get
their own parliament.
The Irish Free State was technically still part of the United Kingdom
and not fully independent. In 1937, a new constitution renamed the
state to Eire -- and made it functionally independent but technically
still part of the British Commonwealth. A second amendment in 1948
renamed it again, to Republic of Ireland, and removed it from the
Commonwealth. At that point, the United Kingdom's full name of
necessity changed slightly by addition of one new word, to "the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
Meanwhile, in the North, things kept getting worse for the impoverished
Catholics, and more violent. In 1972, London dissolved the Stormont
parliament, which had acted to worsen problems rather than fix them.
And there matters more-or-less remain.
The irony of Northern Ireland lies in the various parties' motives:
Northern Catholics would generally prefer union with the Republic.
Northern Protestants are generally militantly against. The rest of the
UK continues its supervision of the northern six counties, without
enthusiasm. And the Republic officially has always wanted union, but
unofficially admits it would be catastrophic.
Why? Because the six counties are very densely populated, and because
their Catholic minority constitute a severe, ongoing drain on the
British taxpayer, as a long-term underclass with no prospects. Britain
can afford to fund the massive welfare program required to keep them
from starving to death; the Republic couldn't, if union were to occur.
Cheers, There are only 10 types of people in this world --
Rick Moen those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don't.

It was a happy day in Emery Unified. The district was celebrating the end of an era: a decade of state debt and state control.
Emery's fiscal crisis began to unfold in 2000, about two years before the mess in Oakland began. Its former superintendent, J.L. Handy, who had racked up personal charges on the district credit card, left the tiny, two-school district $2 million in debt.
Emery regained partial control in 2004, but — as is the case today in Oakland — the state maintained veto-power over its spending. In late July, Emery officials repaid the last of the district's emergency loans.
From everything I've heard, state receivership didn't leave the same scars on Emery Unified as it did on Oakland. At an event today, local leaders actually thanked the state-appointed administrators/trustees, Henry Der and John Quinn, for helping to put Emery's fiscal house in order. In contrast, Oakland Superintendent Tony Smith (and former Emery superintendent) noted at Wednesday night's board meeting that OUSD's current state trustee, Carleen Naylor, is the first state appointee since 2003 to have expertise in finance.
According to this list posted on the California Department of Education's website, the Oakland school district still owed $69 million on its $100 million loan as of July. Oakland also pays its state trustee a $117,600 salary (no extra benefits) and is required to pay the controller's office $400,000 for its annual, mandated audit.
If OUSD stays on schedule, it will celebrate its full emergence from state control — in 2023.

I like my co-worker, but does he like me too?
There is a guy that works with me at my job, and I had no interest in him at all before. But since I began working with him more often, I started to... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Bottom line, he likes you.
Now, here's the problem. He may like you but not do anything about it, because you two work together. That may be why he seems kinda off some days.
He likes, you, he doesn't care that you two work together, but you aren't really letting him know how you feel.
So, you need to let him know you kinda like him too. I don't really know how close you guys are but maybe mention something to him about hanging out outside of work. Give him your number or ask for his.
What Guys Said 20
u should joke around with him and hint that he should take you out. or that you should take him out. see what his answer is. I'm surprised you haven't done what all girls do and check out his MySpace or whatever to see how many girlfriends he has. LOL. I mean it sounds like he likes you but then again he could just be one of those guys who's comfortable with girls. and flirts with all girls he gets to know. does he seem like the player type?
Haha I commented in the wrong box, my answer for your question is aboveyour comment...
Maybe he might be scared to make a move on you, He could also be sending you mixed sigals. That is true if he is not feeling you then then you get played. He might also be afraid to to take his flirting to a whole new level. He could also be just friendly but I feel if he likes you then he should have dones something abiout it already.
Dude, don't give her a crazy ambiguous answer like that...
Here is the first thing,up front and to the point.Everything in this world,in this life has reason.There is nothing done without reason.When you go back to work surprise him by doing the same thing,one big long hug,that will knock his socks off,trust me he will be going nuts for the rest of the day.After the hugs get ok,don't be afraid to smile at him first and make first approach.You can't know until you try,i certainly know how you feel with all the not wanting to look like an idot but not doing something you want to do could be the biggest mistake you will make.
Goodluck,I hope this helps.
Thanks! I am gonna give that a try...i like your answer thanks a lot!
You make sure that That boy thinks the same way. l experience same things You do, there was one diffrerence She has a boyfriend in end , I learned her liking me closing her deeply , there are many signs that show loving both of you each other.
you are right about living a love at job , therefore You try it out of job.
No, he's a really sweet guy, he seems like a genuine guy...the only problem is that I don't see him enough, I don't work with him as often, but I kinda like that because when he does see me he pays more attention to me...
Joke around with him, I can definitely see the hugging as a sign he may be interested in you. All in good fun when you're play fighting tell him because of that he owes you a date/dinner/etc. and see how he reacts to that, or even give him a little flirtatious wink the next time you catch him looking at you. He seems interested from what I read, good luck!
Thanks, those are some good suggestions...will mos def try that!
Don't be scared. If he is making physical contact, then he's either a pervert (doubt it) or he sincerely has feelings for you. Rather than waiting for him to ask you out, how about you ask him if he would like to go out for a cup of coffee or something and get to know him better. Better yet, you could ask him if he likes you.
Honestly, if he doesn't, it's better you know sooner than later so it's easier to move on.
This guy is my God.
But in your point of view, find the end soon; don't get involved in any confused relation. When guys are young, we don't play with girls feelings (manly because, we see you as chocolate or flower or something like that), but some girls play with us in younger days. We learn quickly (some by 16 and some by 25), from next girl we start doing all these play stuff.
Playing with any once feeling is wrong. It can hurt a lot (if at the end, all that is just for fun).
ya, ask him out and try to know if you are wasting time.
Not to rain in on the parade but I feel itchy about saying that he likes you. He may just feel attracted to you and just wants to have fun flirting cause he is at work and what else can he do while he is working. I sometimes do that to the girls I meet. I will flirt with them (cause they are girls...) but not really takes thing seriously.
However the way to differentiate between flirting and whether he likes you is if he acts that way only in front of you. If he acts like that only in front of you then he definitely has something for you.
If you are not afraid of repercussions (as in he stops acting flirty with you altogether and may not talk to you after), I'd suggest my "stupid" plan. I would confront him and say "why do you keep acting this way? some of the other co-workers are beginning to think that you" either "like me" or " that we are dating" ( If I were you I would choose the 'we are dating'). At this point carefully judge the expression on his face (you may ask a close coworker to secretly look too for a second opinion). If he shows remorse, dissapointmet or anything emotional you know that it felt something to him and chances are that he likes you (unless he is an extremely nice and sensitive guy). if he laughs or jokes it out, without the slightest show of emotion then its bad news =/. CAUTION: Some very skilled guys are good at not showing any emotion so it can potentially be misleading. Also, some guys are overly sensitive and show emotion regardless and that too is misleading.
Either way once you have done so either he will feel pressured to ask you out now cause he will realize he has been very obvious with his feelings and you certainly noticed it and well at-least you two have now talked about it and it should take things forward.
The other possibility is he will stop acting the way he was and what you can do at maybe a two or three days later is say that you were sorry and that he is welcome to hug you again. Or you can slowly and etiquettley reveal to him that you secretly like him and it was her way of finding out and yeah.
I made an error in the last sentence of my post. The 'her' should be a 'your'.
Thank you for that answer, I was thinking the same thing...haha it would be so much easier not to like him...
I've never really done the whole boyfriend thing before, or even approaching a guy that I like...i become so extremely shy in front of any guy I like and it's hard for me to let them see who I really am.. I will give what you said a shot...ill try your "stupid" plan haha
What Girls Said 4
He really likes you, but maybe not for something serious. It could be weird because you guys work together, but you should try to get to know him better.
Flirting isn't that big of a deal - if you like him, then just be nice to him, which I'm sure you are. Saying something cute every once in a while or giving him quick compliments will show him you like him and notice him, but without being so obvious that you have a crush on him.
If he knows you like him and he really likes you too, then maybe he will pursue it more.
Maybe you could arrange a hangout session with a bunch of friends from work? If a group of you went out and he was there, you would get a real chance to get to know him and hang out with him, but it wouldn't be weird because it's not a 'date'.
Well he may like you but since you two work together it may just be too awkward for anything further to come of it. I am not a big fan of flirting at work myself and I don't want to get into a situation with a guy that later bombs and then I am stuck at work with him. So, for me, when I was younger and would even consider dating a co-worker, if he wasn't making it real clear he liked me and asked me for a date, nothing would come of it. Like I said, I don't want to deal with some guy who kind of likes me, it doesn't work out and then I am stuck seeing him everyday. Too awkward.
I would suggest hanging out outside of work, say there's a movie you're both interested in, you can be like, "We should go see that! You have my number, right?" Then let him take the initiative to make it happen. If you try this a couple times and he doesn't take the bait, forget about it, but it's not awkward because it's not like you asked him out or anything, you just wanted someone to hang out with, no big deal, right?
Lol true!

Voting from their desks in historic fashion the Senate passed the bailout bill 74-25. The margin is as important as the outcome. Perhaps a day of reflection, perhaps the stock market crash and the ongoing credit crunch or perhaps the backlash against the House's failure to pass the measure shocked everyone into acting as they did, and in such a decisive fashion.
The minor adjustments ( e.g.adding business tax breaks, FDIC limit increase) made the bill arguably more conservative, and hence palatable to the House GOP. But it strikes me as vote by the Senate, a large bipartisan declaration that amounted to, "Enough!"
The House is slated to vote Friday. The fight for credit will now begin.

There is a multitude of available resources. A good place to begin your research is to talk with faculty members and other persons you respect about schools and programs. Alumni are good contacts for information. Web sites, such as the many listed here are required reading. Peterson's Guides to Graduate Education books are easy to use and provide program profiles including degrees offered, enrollment statistics, admission and degree requirements, costs, availability of financial aid, research facilities, phone numbers, and addresses to request information and catalogs. They also offer in depth information about the application process, required tests, types of aid available, letters of reference and application essays. Peterson's guides can be found on the web at Peterson's Education Center.
Additional information on program specifics can be obtained from the school's graduate catalog and from the academic department.

Get started now
I'd like you to be my client. Whatever you need, I will do my best to provide you.
The purpose of this page is to help prospective clients feel more comfortable, by understanding the type of projects that come to me. In general, I have three "tracks" of work for my wordsmithing services:
Quick fixes: These assignments tend to come out of the blue, have a fair degree of urgency, but don't require that much time. For example, I get calls all the time from people who realized their online bio isn't getting the job done, and I am happy to quickly improve what they have. I do my best to fit in such projects quickly, so please don't hesitate to make "unreasonable" requests.
Ongoing assignments: Although I'm sworn to secrecy about the details, I ghostwrite articles for leading executives and innovators. These happen on a regular cycle.
Long-term projects: If you want a research report or white paper, this is going to take a good deal of time and attention on my part. Sometimes I take on projects that require travel, such as attending a corporate meeting so that I can capture and convey the ideas expressed in that gathering. In such cases, it is to your advantage to give me a bit of notice, so I can reserve time in my schedule to meet your needs.
No matter what your needs, I am happy to help you and always have time to discuss your goals and ideas.

Old Book Stores
Bookstores have changed a lot since I was a kid, and used bookstores even more so. Today they are cleaner, nicer, much more expensive and, all too often, duller. That's not to say there aren't some great used bookstores. But the mood of the 'new' stores is….just not the same. The only bookstore I currently know of that has the tang of the bookstores of my youth is Acres of Books in Long Beach, Ca., especially that wonderfully dusty back room where the towering, sagging shelves are illuminated only by the feeble glow from the skylight. On a cloudy day, you needed a flashlight if you wanted to browse there. I haven't even been there in ten years, so it may have closed up or moved, but it had that sense of MYSTERY that I associate with old volumes, whatever the subject may be. You never knew what odd treasure you might find on those shelves.
When I was growing up in Oklahoma City, back in the mid-to-late sixties, my friends and I would take the bus on Saturday down to Reno Street, which marked the southern edge of skid row; there were occasionally winos laying on the sidewalk, their favored drink, we were told, was called a Green Lizard, a mixture of hair tonic and alcohol. We roamed past the deserted Huckins Hotel, its facade crumbling like coarse bread, the planks over the windows weathered and rotting. Across the street was a decaying corner grocery store whose owner would never let us past the dark doorway unless we told him how much we were going to spend. Since we didn't know what he had for sale , we never went in. But despite all this, we never felt we were in any danger. It was a sunnier time. But even if there had been some sense of foreboding (assuming a twelve year old could feel such a subtle emotion) I think we all would have still made our weekly trek, because skid row was where the bookstores were.
Our first stop was always Carters Bookstore. Despite two large plate glass windows facing the street, the light only penetrated a few feet into the room before the gloom fought it to a standstill. Old paper settling into dust filled the air, fell on the bins, marked your footprints on the floor – it is still one of my favorite smells in the world. Now Miz Carter was a formidable character, a chain smoker with a rasping accent I have never heard anywhere else to this day. She was a small woman, a bleached blond, friendly but leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that she could kick our collective asses without shaking the ash from her cigarette. From this distance I can't tell for sure whether she was actually homely or just weathered with age, but she always dressed to the nines: dress, loads of cheap jewelry and that overdone style of makeup that is still pretty common here in Oklahoma. I saw my first Big Little Book at Carter's, and my first pulp magazine when she bought a box of Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures.
Next door was Hannah's Used Books. It was a narrow wooden store front, painted yellow before I was born, about fifteen feet wide. Inside, the store went back maybe 30 feet, at which point a ragged curtain was drawn across the shop, about ten feet from the back wall. That was where Mr. Hannah lived. Bins ran along the outer walls, and a narrow table ran down the middle of the store beneath a single bare bulb.. When I reference cat pee, mold, other things in LIM, it's Hannah's store I'm recalling. He was a small, wiry man, favored short sleeve shirts that all seemed to be gray, and truly a cock-eyed optimist, friendly, but not in a creepy way. I can't even speculate on why he was living like he did, but he never moped about it, even as he heated his can of Spaghettio's on his hot plate.
And then there was Crazy Bill's. His store was actually further up town, but there's a kind of link with Hannah's in my mind, only Bill ate his Spaghettio's cold, right out of the can. I'm not sure he even bothered to sort the books on the shelves, and I know he didn't sort the magazines because most of them were on the floor, stacks spilling into stacks so that you couldn't move from shelf to shelf without stepping on them. He didn't mind. He would be at his desk in the center of the store, red sauce dribbling down his chin, going on about whatever random topic had attracted his attention that day. In the event you don't believe me, check out this article on "The World's Most Dangerous Bookstore." That's Crazy Bill.
Back downtown, in an alley behind another hotel, was A Points North, Mr. North was fussy and prim, Edward Everett Horton with an attitude. He had a curious limp that caused one foot to slap the floor when he walked and the rumor was that it was caused by syphilis. Once, when I asked him if he had any comic books, he told me in no uncertain terms, "Γ don't deal in trash" .(This was the mid-sixties, when comic fandom was just starting to break out.)
All those stores are gone now, the buildings torn down for urban renewal; the store owners are gone to their reward as well. I have to say I miss them. They were all eccentrics, and maybe that is what I find so disagreeable in the local Book Rack or Paperback Shack, usually located in malls, manned by well-meaning but featureless men and women, the air scented with Glade, or worse, incense. I guess I miss the cat pee and the mold.
And the Mystery.

Analyst dissects President Bush's Tampa appearance by Mitch E. Perry
Aubrey Jewettt is a professor of Political Science at the University of Central Florida in Orlandoââ¬Â¦.he says despite the Presidentââ¬â¢s battered public opinion numbers, he remains The top politician among Republicans in raising money and spirits (roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?ââ¬?lots of contributorsââ¬?)
State Democrats trying to find an angle to criticize President Bush today went with the theme that they hope will help them in the fall ââ¬â that is, the Republican Partyââ¬â¢s ââ¬ÅCulture of Corruption ââ¬Å embodied in disgraced Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoffââ¬â¢s fall from grace.
Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Karen Thurman released a statement linking Abramoff and former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay with Florida State Senator Ken Pruitt and West Palm Beach political consultant Randy Nielsen. Pruitt is slated to become Senate President of the Florida legislature later this year, and stories in the Palm Beach Post earlier this week revealed that over $200,000 of the $819,000 that Pruittââ¬â¢s 3 political Action Committees raised in the past 4 years went to pay Neilsenââ¬â¢s consulting firm.
Thurman wrote: ââ¬ÅItââ¬â¢s shameful that President Bush lets the Republican culture of corruption follow him wherever he goes.
"With snowballing news of widespread Republican lobbyist scandals in Washington and now in Tallahassee, President Bush should stand firmly against this political corruption. Unfortunately, time and again, he has chosen to stand side-by-side with ethically challenged Republicans like Ken Pruitt for high priced photo opportunitiesâ�.

We're soup dumpling-mad. When we go to a Shanghai-style Chinese restaurant, all too often we order soup dumplings, perhaps before we even sit down. But sometimes it pays to slow down and pay attention to the rest of the dumpling menu. On a recent visit to the excellent Shanghai Café Deluxe, our eyes lit on something called rice ball with pork in soup ($3.95). What a novel idea—dumplings in soup, rather than dumplings with soup inside them. More
Last week, Ben and I had an animated debate on whether or not soup dumplings (xiao long bao) can travel in a to-go box and still taste delicious. "You can't do it," he said. "You will regret it."

Simple blurbs of text in shabby microwavable Web templates just don't cut it anymore. For anyone to take your business or project seriously, you need a site that captures interest and exudes your unique style and vision.
We specialize in the creation of sites built on a Content Management System (CMS) framework. When compared to a traditional page-by-page HTML site, sites built on a CMS are more feature-rich; offer snap-on functionality; are infinitely expandable; and offer dead-easy content creation, deletion and editing.
We adhere to both HTML and CSS W3C standards, and test all our designs thoroughly to assure your site will be accessible across all modern browsers. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, and will work closely with you to assure your site is exactly the way you want it.
Due to the dynamic nature of site design, and the varying specifics of each project, it is impossible to list every eventuality here. Please contact us with some specifics about your project and we'll be happy to offer a free estimate along with our thoughts on your project.
Also, feel free to check out our work to see a selection of past projects we've had the pleasure to be a part of.
