Costochondritis is a condition that causes pain in the cartilage that connect your ribs to your sternum (breastbone). Cartilage is the tough, bendable tissue that protects your bones.
- Acetaminophen: This medicine decreases pain. Acetaminophen is available without a doctor's order. Ask how much to take and how often to take it. Follow directions. Acetaminophen can cause liver damage if not taken correctly.
- NSAIDs help decrease swelling and pain or fever. This medicine is available with or without a doctor's order. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems in certain people. If you take blood thinner medicine, always ask if NSAIDs are safe for you. Always read the medicine label and follow directions. Do not give these medicines to children under 6 months of age without direction from your child's doctor.
- Take your medicine as directed. Call your healthcare provider if you think your medicine is not helping or if you have side effects. Tell him if you are allergic to any medicine. Keep a list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs you take. Include the amounts, and when and why you take them. Bring the list or the pill bottles to follow-up visits. Carry your medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
You may need to get more rest. Learn which movements and activities cause pain, and avoid doing them. Do not carry objects, such as a purse or backpack, if this is painful. Avoid activities such as rowing and weightlifting until your pain decreases or goes away. Ask which activities are best for you to do while you recover.
Heat helps decrease pain in some patients. Apply heat on the area for 20 to 30 minutes every 2 hours for as many days as directed.
Ice helps decrease swelling and pain. Ice may also help prevent tissue damage. Use an ice pack, or put crushed ice in a plastic bag. Cover it with a towel and place it on the painful area for 15 to 20 minutes every hour or as directed.
Stretching exercises:
Gentle stretching may help your symptoms. Stand in a doorway and put your hands on the door frame at the level of your ears or shoulders. Take 1 step forward and gently stretch your chest. Try this with your hands higher up on the doorway.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have a fever.
- The painful areas of your chest look swollen, red, and feel warm to the touch.
- You cannot sleep because of the pain.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.

Hey Everyone… Happy Tuesday! I had a huge family gathering on the weekend and with that came a lot of food. One of the feature brunch dishes that I chose was a wonderful, yet simple, kicked up quiche. Talk about an easy recipe that packed a punch. Over 20 people tried the quiche and everyone of them were raving about both the homemade pastry and filling.
Follow along below and try out this quiche. I made a couple of different types. Our feature quiche was ham and spinach with monterey jack cheese. I also made a traditional bacon, mushroom quiche with cheddar cheese.
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 (5 ounce) container process sharp cheese spread
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped ham
- 1/2 cup Spinach chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bacon
- 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- In a small bowl, cut butter and cheese spread into flour until well blended.
- Add water and toss with a fork until a ball forms.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Press tablespoonfuls onto the bottom and up the sides of greased miniature muffin cups.
- In a bowl, beat the egg, milk and salt. Stir in ham and cheese.
- Spoon a rounded teaspoonful into each shell.
- Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until golden brown. (This is actually a shot of the bacon and mushroom quiche in case you thought I was losing my mind)
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
So as always, do tell Zesty what's your favorite quiche filling. I can't wait to hear everyone's responses. Hope everybody has a great Tuesday!

Pro Tharsis Carbon Riser Bar. Tharsis components are named after the highest mountain range in our solar system (on Mars) and these ultimate trail/all-mountain components are optimised for maximum performance and reliability. Made from carefully selected layers of T800 and T1000 uni-directional carbon fibre to place the strength right where it is required without adding unnecessary weight, a titanium mesh is added to the stem clamp interface to further increase strength to this high stress area. The riser bar also features stem centralising markers. Due to the structure of T800/T1000 UD carbon it is hard to cut, so a 3K weave carbon is used at the tips with handy width markers if trimming is required, handy shift lever and brake lever positioning grid graphic markings. Oversized 31.8 mm clamp diameter reduces unwanted flex under high load by increasing strength and rigidity. Weight 195 grams.

What does the "AES Rehost" mean to you?
Posted By Global Reach Daniel On April 30, 2014 @ 10:51 am In Uncategorized | No Comments
By: Omari Wooden
[1]Over the last few months, there have been numerous discussions about the changes to the Automated Export System (AES) and how it relates to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). More importantly, how do any of these changes affect you?
What is Changing with the AES?
The AES was developed back in 1994 and the system's technology and platform needed to be updated and refreshed. This migration of the AES to ACE is called the rehost. The purpose of the rehost is to make the technology more modern in order to develop a transition to the ACE. The ACE will become the "single window", the primary system through which the international trade community will submit import and export data and documentation required by all Federal agencies.
How will the Rehost Affect You?
You will continue to transmit your export shipments through AESDirect as you have in the past. For companies that use software vendors, service centers or self-developed software, continue to transmit in the same fashion.The changes to the AES are best defined as an internal upgrade.
The AES and ACE-Export are the same system, however, it may also be referred to as part of the International Trade Data System [2]or ITDS [2].
The AES Rehost and migration to ACE helps us move export processing into the 21st century. If you want more information, please visit ITDS.gov [3].

Ryton 12th October 2010
League champions Spennymoor Town brushed bottom club Ryton aside with an 8-1 win at the Brewery Field, but they didn't have it all their own way after a nervous first half to the game. Manager Jason Ainsley told the Northern Echo: "We were very sloppy in the first half, and I had to read the riot act at half time. The players didn't work hard enough when they didn't have the ball."
Moors took an early lead through Steven Richardson following a great run by Lewis Dodds, but a defensive mistake allowed Ryton to equalise through Chris Arnott to silence the home crowd, incidentally Moors' lowest of the season. Moments earlier, Craig Turns produced a stunning one handed save as the visitors enjoyed a good spell of pressure. However, on-loan Chris Moore – playing his final game for the club before returning to Darlington – put Spennymoor back in front with a left foot finish after a poor clearance from the visitors and Moors couldn't add to their tally during the remainder of the first half despite dominating.
But in the second half, Dodds' bursting run into the area saw him tripped by a Ryton defender and Michael Rae smashed home the spot kick to extend the lead. Moors were now on the crest of a wave and the fourth home goal arrived just seconds later when outstanding skill shown by Stephen Harrison in the right corner saw his teasing cross lashed home by Richardson from close range. Richardson completed his hat trick when sub Anthony Peacock played in the Moors striker who finished with aplomb, then another sub Gavin Cogdon scored his first of two with a close range finish following superb play by Stephen Capper. As expected, it was one way traffic and David McTiernan scored his first goal for the club moments after coming onto the field with a back post header from Tommy English's deep cross. Things got worse for Ryton who conceded an eighth a minute before the end when Cogdon raced a way to drill the ball under the keeper and into the net to complete the scoring. This win puts Spennymoor second in the table, two points behind leaders Consett with a game in hand. Moors have now scored a mammoth 19 goals in their last three league games.

Fadia, in purple, stands with her family outside her humble home in the town of Maskaneh, near Homs in western Syria. Two years ago Fadia lived here with just two children. Her other children and grandchildren lived in Homs. But when intense fighting reached the city, they fled and now they live with her in Maskaneh.
Using lentils from the World Food Programme, Fadia prepares lentil soup with potatoes and onions for her family. As the scent of the simmering soup wafts from her modest kitchen, her grandchildren flock to the living room to sit for lunch.

Qupe Reserve Block 11 Chardonnay 2009
Chardonnay from Central Coast, California
Winemaker's Notes
I like oak in chardonnay, as long as its good oak and as long as the chardonnay has balance. This wine carries its oak perfectly. The aromas are classic cool climate chardonnay with hints of lime, pears and wet stone with a strong underpinning of creme brulée and sweet oak. The fl avors are rich but nicely balanced by clean, fresh acidity... mouthfilling with a long finish. This stands with 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2008 as among the best chardonnays I've made from Bien Nacido. If you like it and you like to age it, please put some in the cellar for at least 10 years, I certainly will.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "Grown on a steep hillside facing north by northwest, the fruit at Block Eleven achieves intensity of flavor with restrained ripeness. Fine oak character surrounds it without entering the center of the wine, which is focused on citrus and fresh cream flavors, lemon curd and apple butter. There's a floral scent of jasmine that brings out the wine's underlying minerality. An elegant match for arctic char roasted with wild mushrooms."
Qupe Winery
Qupe was founded in 1982 by Bob Lindquist. Located at the Bien Nacido Vineyard in northern Santa Barbara County, Qupe's current production is about 25,000 cases. Varietals produced include Chardonnay, Syrah, Marsanne, Viognier, a Syrah/Mourvedre blend, a Viognier/Chardonnay blend and Roussanne. View all Qupe Wines
About Central CoastView a map of Central Coast wineries
The largest of California's wine growing regions, the Central Coast produces the majority of California's wine. The district sprawls out, covering most of the vineyard land between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. Smaller sub-AVAs of the Central Coast include Monterey Bay, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Santa Cruz Mountains and many others.
Notable FactsGrape varieties range from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Some Central Coast wine is generic, bulk wine that contributes to the high production numbers of the area. But many winemakers and wineries, particular in some of the smaller AVAs, are small production artisans, creating unique and high-quality wine. The great thing about the Central Coast is its diversity - you're able to find a number of grape varieties and styles at a number of different price points.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Real ads and Andrew Walsh ideas on how to get kids to sign up for Obamacare
Proponents of Obamacare are trying hard, sometimes too hard, to reach out to young people.
That got KIRO Radio's Andrew Walsh thinking about how he would try and target the young folks to sign up for health insurance. He turned to 'Breaking Bad' while listeners had some of their own topical suggestions.
5 of 7
Listener's idea: The Scared Straight approach
Much like the scared straight program in used to frighten teens out of a life of crime, the 18 to 35-year-old crowd, a typically healthy bunch, could see what it was like to face a career ending injury and hundreds of thousands in unpaid medical bills from when they were uninsured.
"You have to look at the statistics and I know young people don't get sick, but 18 to 35 is the highest risk for traumatic injury - and that's automobile accidents, gunshot wounds, drug overdoses, outdoor sporting accidents," the listener said. "My niece, she's 22, she ran into a tree on a [three-wheeler] she's got a concussion, a paralyzed right arm, a compound fracture of her right femur. She's got a $225,000 hospital bill." The listener said that his niece is doing better now, but her plans to become a beautician seem much less likely.

Veteran denied entry to Taco Cabana because of service dog
Restaurant chain investigating manager's actions
SAN ANTONIO - Carrie Ann Partch, an Iraq war veteran suffering with post traumatic stress disorder was denied entry to a local Taco Cabana Wednesday, after the manager said store policy didn't allow dogs inside without proof of service.
People suffering with PTSD often use service dogs as a source of comfort when out in public.
Partch told the manager that under the Americans with Disabilities Act, she was allowed to bring the dog anywhere she goes and was not required to show proof of the dog's service-dog status.
But the manager insisted the Taco Cabana policy required her to show proof, something the company admitted in a statement that it does not. In a statement, they said:
If you view the video in its entirety, our employee was attempting to appease other customers who had complained of the service dog's odor. Unfortunately, in the process, our employee clearly misrepresented our company policy regarding service animals in our restaurants and for that we sincerely apologize. We have attempted to reach out to the guest and we are continuing our investigation into this matter, as there can be serious consequences up to and including possible termination.
"I just want more people to be aware about the laws surrounding service dogs," said Partch.

Are Ketchup And Mustard Ok?
Posted 06 August 2005 - 07:21 PM
Are there any other types of gluten-free things she can dip stuff in?
We have been on the gluten-free diet for 4 complete days now and Ella is doing well. Actually, today she had a GREAT day. She seemed to have a ton of energy (which is unusual for her) and she played so well without asking to eat constantly. She even wanted to stay at a party to play with the kids today!!! I was so thrilled. It's those little things that don't mean much to anyone else, but to me mean so much. She was interacting normally and not obsessing about eating and clinging to me. I was so proud....
I know there will be ups and downs with this even if it works. I'm trying not to get too excited, but I can't help it when I see her doing so well. Maybe this is our answer...
One more thing. Should Ella have her own toaster or is it ok to use ours that has non gluten-free bread going into it? We toast things several times a day for her and I don't know if using our regular toaster would be a cross-contamination problem. My husband things that is taking things a little too far, but I want to do this right and don't want her getting exposed to gluten during the trial on this diet. Just wanted to know what you all think.
Thanks again so much. I don't know what I'd do without this forum. You are all so kind and helpful.

If you toast ordinary baked goods as well as gluten-free ones, you should have separate toasters. Some gluten will stick in the toaster in the crumbs and will cross comtaminate the gluten-free foods. For what is costs, buy a second toaster and be scrupulous about keeping the two types of food in their respective toasters. It only takes a trace of wheat to trigger a gluten reaction.

All ketchups that I've checked (4 years) have been gluten-free. And virtually all mustards. Same with mayo -- all gluten-free. HOWEVER, you either need squeeze bottles or must get her her own jar. Dipping knives with non-gluten-free crumbs contaminates her condiments. This applies to anything like this, including peanut butter and jelly.

I'm glad to hear that you're seeing some improvement. I noticed pretty immediate improvements with my daughter too... I think when they are younger they usually respond quicker to the diet.

I can't even begin to tell you how well she is doing on this diet. She is a different kid! She has done SO well the past two days. It really brings tears to my eyes to see her interacting with everyone and doing so well!!!
I am so excited about this!! Thank you all so much!!!!

I always make Dustin's food first. ALWAYS. Then completely put his stuff away, and then make the rest of the families. IT is not easy, but it makes it easier to be sure he is not getting gluten cross contaimination.

It still just floors me that doctors would rather put a toddler on meds than try a diet change, that just blows me away. Thank goodness you did some research on your own, not all parents would think to do that. I hope she continues to do well......keep us posted on her progess! This board is full of so many supportive, knowledgable people, they'll help you weave your way through the beginner stages!

This has just been such an amazing change. Everyone who sees her now can tell how different she is. My husband and I are in awe. Today we went to an indoor park and she cried when we had to leave because she just wanted to play! We went to this same park a few months ago and she didn't even get down and play for more than a few minutes because she said, "I want to go bye-bye. I just want to go home and eat." This was 1/2 hour after having a snack...
Today, she didn't even care about eating!! She was having so much fun. She also wandered all over the park, not caring where I was. She is usually stuck to my side crying. She did ask a couple of times for a snack, but I just told her it wasn't time and she moved on without a tear. A week ago that would have caused a major meltdown. I think she has a lot of habits now that need to be modified, but she is moving in the right direction.
In addition to her behavior change, her stools are already looking more "normal" and her tummy looks much less bloated.
I can tell that she just feels better.
Thank everyone again for all your support. We still haven't gotten Ella's test results back, but I really don't care anymore. We have seen without a doubt that at the least she has a gluten intolerence and we will not be giving it to her anymore.
Thanks and take care!

We had her "sneak a peek" at school today for she starts kindergarten on Wednesday and I got to meet her teachers. They were asking me what to watch for with her "illness" and I said Oh she's perfectly healthy as long as she stays completely gluten free! I don't think they are used to that concept because too many kids are on medications... I too don't understand the logic of Dr.s that would rather put a small child on drugs than to try dietary changes first. Of course I understand some illnesses and conditions require medication, but in so many kids if they just explored what it in their diet that could be causing problems then the kids wouldn't have to be on drugs.

I totally agree with you about the doctors. I just want to go to her old ped. (we just switched to a new one) and tell him how well this is working. I'm sure I'd just be talking to myself though because he'll refuse to believe that it's really working. I think he thinks this is all in my head. Oh well...she's better and that's all that matters.
I have a quick question. Today we went to the mall. Ella had a safe meal (I packed it for her) but her cousins had pizza, chips and fruit. THe one cousin was eating his pizza and chips and using greasy hands to get his fruit. Then they offered it to Ella and she ate the fruit. Since we got home from the mall which was about 3 hours after lunch she started acting kind of whiny and clingy and was asking for snacks more. She also had a loose stool (not diarrhea, but just looser than normal) late tonight before bed and her tummy looked bloated. She sat on the toilet forever and I think her tummy was bothering her. I am almost positive that she didn't eat anything with gluten in it today. Is it just my imagination playing games with me, or could that little expose cause her to act like she used to again? She wasn't acing near as badly as she used to, but I could just see a glimpse of it.
Just wondering what you all think. Can I expect her to be her "new normal" good self tomorrow if she had a tiny exposure? I sure hope so!! I got a little discouraged there for a minute, but I know there will ups and downs with this. Overall she's doing so well.
I should go...her gluten-free cake is almost done baking!
Thanks again,

The second day after a gluten exposure is my worst, in terms of mood, but everyone is different. It's nothing but a "wait and see" game after the fact, unfortunately.

No I doubt it is your imagination. Their little systems are very sensitive and even a small crumb on a piece of fruit would make a difference. My family thinks I am being OCD about the crumb and cross contamination issue but I don't care. Well, except for my brother in law... we were over at my moms house for his birthday and he was very concerned to let me know I needed to re wash my daughters plate that her cousin had set out for her since he said "all kinds of crumbs had been flying over that plate"...

I chose to build this kind of cage because wire cages that you can buy from a pet store are expensive and are bad for the rats feet.
In total, I believe i spent under $35!
It's not only a cage, but an accent to our living area!
Step 1: Drawers
For all of the drawers, I went to my local hardware store and purchased sticky tile. This makes the cage extremely easy to clean!
The picture shown is the top drawer of the cage. This were they usually sleep.
All the drawers can be pulled out!
Step 2: The basics
I then added wire screen to the middle of the dresser. I used wire because if i used plastic wire they would chew through it.
Oh, and I found rope for bird cages and fastened them into the back of the dresser. Just a little something for the rats to climb on.
Step 3: The Doors
To keep the wire in place I used zip ties. I then fastened "L" brackets to all four corners. Once the "L" brackets are in place you can cut the zip ties.

BlackBerry service coming to Koodo Canada?
The approach taken by the so-called "budget" carriers in Canada is quite interesting. They start out saying that they want to be as affordable as possible, but they slowly creep up into the territory of their parent companies. It seems that the Telus-offshoot Koodo Mobile could be expanding its business beyond their initial focus of cheap phones with cheap plans. They got a little better with some QWERTY-packing "feature" phones, but it seems that the latest plans are hinting at BlackBerry service too. That's quite a step up from a simple keyboard-equipped "dumbphone."Read More »

Video Review: Motorola Milestone Android phone from Telus Mobility
It may have taken a little time to find its legs, but the Google Android platform is really starting to take off. One of the hottest handsets to feature this operating system is the Motorola Milestone, available now through Telus Mobility. In many ways, you could say that it's the same as the Motorola Droid through Verizon, but you don't get the MOTOBLUR user interface, you would have to wait for the Motorola Backflip in that case. The Milestone is configured to use the Telus 3G+ network so its very fast.Read More »

Animal print dress: A classic or an overdone trend
Animal print came about with the desire to have clothing that resembles the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal. Some popular animal prints worn are Tiger, Zebra, Giraffe, Cheetah, Snake and Leopard Prints. Chic, bold and daring are the adjectives people associate with an animal print clothing.
Animal print dresses have been there for a long time now and are still fashionable. An animal print dress is definitely a love-hate relationship. Additionally, animal print dresses are very hard to work. When done right, it is effective. Otherwise, it is easy to look like a night-walker in one of these or look like you have been blasted to 2011 from the eighties. There is a fine line between looking fierce and just plain funny. Some tips when wearing an animal print dress:
- The accessories have to compliment the print. If you wear an animal print dress, you should try to refrain from wearing bright colors or tacky pieces of jewelry. This may draw attention away from the boldness of the print and instead make the overall outfit look tacky.
- Apply a very natural makeup.
- When it comes to animal prints, or any bold prints for that matter, less is more. For example, leopard print makes the perfect accessory in a pair of pumps, a handbag, or a scarf, but you can have too much of a good thing. Stick with only one leopard print accessory.
- Go with plain black or white to accessorize the animal print dress, depending on the color. It will be too much to wear anything else with it.
- You cannot put other colors or more patterns with an animal print.
- Stick to one animal printed item per ensemble. So do not go mixing and matching different animal prints.
- Avoid the uniform look by wearing accessories also of the same animal print you are wearing.
- Neutral colored accessories can go well with Tiger, Zebra, Giraffe, Cheetah and Leopard Prints dresses.
Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Megan Fox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Mendes have been seen wearing animal prints dresses at various events. What more proof that they are the hottest trend in women's wear? It is definitely more than a passing interest in print for all these strong and stylish women.
Other the other hand, it feels like a jungle out there with this overdone trend of animal print. Cheetah, zebra, giraffe and leopard prints are all over in clothing, accessories, bedding etc. I think this is one animal passion that should be left in the jungle. And, anyone who tells you different is lion.

The comments here are off the mark. This group has a right to be heard just as any other group. It is the responsibility of elected officials in this country to hear their constituents and make decisions based on what os good for the constituents. Giving up another night for them to present their ideas is the role of City Council. That being said, even though i am completely opposed to fracking ad fracking water injection wells, I have real concerns about this bill. I will give up more time to hear them out again but they have a long way to go to convince me that this bill is legal, constitutional and will not place the city, and council members personally, in a precatious position exposing us to lawsuits.
As for Dutch's comments nothing really has to be said becasue the more he writes the more people realize what a total moron he or she must because we ARE managing our finances better than ost cities andour violence is down. He or she should make thenselves known at a council meeting where we can debate the issues in the open and let the public decide who is right and who is wrong. I am ready anytime the coward wants to come to a public meeting. Til then keep typing to prove your ignorance of the facts.
And no need to worry eeston, county council hasn't heard the last of this issue concerning our proposed commuter tax. When they get their act in order than maybe they can srtick their nose in other governmental entities business. It's easy to throw darts when you are sitting high on your hill, occupying a large percentage of real estate in our city and not paying a dime in taxes or a PILOT (Payment in lieu of taxes) and make political grandstanding a sport. They have no ability to block this and how dare they make second class citizens out of non-residents working in the city that don't work for public entities. There are many solutions. If you are so concerned, give the city the money you would if you were taxable, give your employees an additional .75% raise, and so many other ways. As for cutting our expenses further and going back to the union negotiating tables let me ask them this question --- how much has your healthcare gone up in the last four years and how much co-pay and co-share do your employees pay? Let's compare notes on which entity is better managed financially. Can anyone say SWAPTION or unbalanced budget?
Do they honestly believe that members of city council want to initiate another tax or so they think money grows on trees. In 2008 our pension legacy costs were $600,000. This year they are $1.5 million. Next year they climb to $3.85 million. This is a statewide problem and requires a statewide solution. They should be joining their Counties Association with our local government associations and most Chambers of Commerce across this state calling on the Governor to lead and the legislature to pass meaningful pension and Act 111 reforms. Now that would be productive.
Thanks for the article Zach but to clear one item --- we did not miss a deadline for the new round of KOZ. Silk isn't large ewnough to apply on our own so the county is making an application in January when Belthlehem and possibly other municipalities are also ready to apply. We will be bringing this to City Council in July and then to the school board and the county council by the fall.
As to the post waiting for a miracle I would remind the poster that this project is 334,000 square feet and we have been actively working on this since 2010 when the Master Plan was completed and preceded by a market analysis by Arts Market to give validity and predicted success to the project. This project will be in excess of $70 million during the greatest rexcession since the great depression,
Also, a comparison to ArtsQuest is not quite accurate. Yes this is bing developeds to be an arts project but there will be a residential component and an artists/living space component as well.
Demolition of the block building has occurred to provide for the main entrance and construction of the new boulevard will commence once PennDOT permits are received, possibly as early as the end of this year with Phase I starting sometime in 2013.
eeston, yes I answer electronically but it may not be as quickly as you like. Sorry but there are things to do. You speak about some issues that we ar eworking on but electronic payments are not a quick fix with the outdated software program of the city. And apparently you don't read or understand that one of the ways we have been able to keep taxes and fees level is through better collections --- and obvioulsy you know that otherwise you wouldn't know the name Portnoff. Everything you mention in your 1:19 post are important but nothing is more important than a balanced budget. The independent audit shows a SURPLUS every year we have been in office. Get your facts straight and if I violate the reaffic code or parking laws I get ticketed too ------- and I pay them by check!
Actually all of you probably qualify. These are FOR SALE homes and the income levels required are actually substantial. If you want a new home at a fair price you should stop over. You may be presently surprised. As for the low income rentals ---------- I gre up in the old neighborhood until I was 9 or 10. At that time it was a helping hand for people to get opn their feet andf not a hand out which they ultimately became, I agree that subsidized housing needs to be for familiesd that need that helpoing hand like my dad di when he got out of the service. He worked two jobs and we were abler to move into a nice home. That's the goal of this neighborhood as well.......not to create generations of public housing families. Let's all hope it works. That's why it's called a Hope VI project. There will always be the naysayers and those who feel they are entitiled but it's an opportuity to change.
if the article did not alreasdy indicate that the trip would not cost taxpayers any money I would agree. Obviously the writer was trying to perpetuate inaccurate information for no other purpose than spreading a rumor. I have never questioned an individual's right to question their government -- it is not only their right it's their responsibility. There are too many individual's that post to these forums using the anonymity to further their personal or political agendas. That's all I was trying to point out.
Only because the article already indicates that no taxpayer money is being used.
And one more thing, you can ask my staff, even when I am out of the country I work and I am connected to the city and its business. The internet and smart phones are great in reducing the size of our world today. I check email everyday and I amonly a phone call away. There is no such thing as a vacation when you are a mayor. No complaints, I love it and wouldn't have it any other way.
Good Night, even to my naysayers.
My oh my. It shouldn't surpirse me bet yet it never ceases to amaze me how small some people can be, First and foremost this is a small article so take the time to read it. The Israeli government is paying all costs except airfare and incidentals. Fortunately for me, the local Jewish community in the Easton area was so happy to learn I was selected they raised the money for the airfare. I thank them so much. For me this is an opportunity of a lifetime since I taught this area of the world when I was a teacher. It also gives me an opportunity to further understand the history, culture and lifestyles of this important country. Any exposure to another culture allows you to come back a better person in many ways. And no PAshooter, my wife is not going.
Lastly, paid vacation? What's that? Elected public officials don;t have a set schdule, we work the hours that we feel are needed. For me that's between 80 and 90 hours a week in my role as Mayor. And yes, I do respond to comments posted here and elsewhere when they are absurd.
Check your facts again. I cannot discuss the McDonald's situation because we are still in negotiations and I promised I would give them a media embargo. However, to the comments about South Third St. – this is a state grant through PennDOT. They awarded the city a $3.7mm grant to do this work in a very competitive environment. They determined the contract and frankly working at night isn't the problem. The road is not closed. Traffic flows 24 hours a day. True there is no parking on the east side but the city provided additional parking at the former Perkins site. Lastly, our Main Street Initiatives is working to help these businesses through the construction period. All property owner will not only have a nicer streetscape they will also receive new curbs and siding at no cost to them. Infrastructure projects must be done but they are a convenience. No doubt. But there are new water lines and services as well as new gas mains and services. Not doing infrastructure projects causes many problems – water leaks which can also cause sinkholes and vice versa, gas explosions, trip hazards which create havoc and lawsuits for property owners and businesses, falling bridges, etc.
How can we expect the private sector to invest in our city if we don't? WE are proud of the fact that more public improvements have been completed in the last four years than in the last 2 decades ------ and at little cost to the Easton taxpayer.
And as to the individuals who constantly talk about increasing taxes, look again. WE have not raised real estate taxes in four years and no fees in three years. We are a fiscally prudent administration and city council in the worst economy since the Great Depression.
To the businesses affected we will to everything we can to assist. And to those that say we aren't doing anything --- every business was contacts with a visit by the public works department and updates are available on the city's website daily at www.easton-pa.gov.
Randy, Randy. Why do you make accusations for whioh you have no basis --- NONE. The decision to support Crayola was simple and has nothing to do with getting something form them. How dare you make an accusation of wrongdoing hiding behind some phony name. My efforts ar efor Easton and not me or any other person. Easton has done very well with Crayola helping us turn our dowtown into a tourist mecca. Monday and Tuesday alone there were more than 3,000 people each day visiting our downtown. Why not ask the downtown restaurants, they all saw a noticeable increase in their sales over last Easter/Passover holiday.
As for Neston-Heights, ppppaaaalllleeeze don't even try to throw the Second Amsndment at me. The Second Amendment asures law abiding citizens the right to bear arms. They are gone, they no longer live there. I wish all of our landlords would do the same and place conditions in their leases. We don't want criminals in our city.
Finally, McDonald's has been negotiating with us and I believe they will do the right thing for the community. After all, they have a full service restaurant 2 blocks away on the way home for most of the visitors.

I am happy to see Mike doing so well. Mike was a student of mine back in the day and he was always someone I knew would do well in whatever career he chose. He comes from a good Easton family. Thank youto the ET for doing this. It was great to know what he is doing. Good luck Mike.
All of the above. It is a tight turn and the city did suggest moving the stop bar back but we all know that motorists won't abide by that either. 20 years ago when I was in office we tok the sign down and were cited by PennDOT. They control the intersection so all complaints should be directed toward them. They will probably tell yu the same thing they told us. Anyway, is it too much trouble to sit and relax at a red light. Motorists today are in too much of a hurry and we are seeing more accidents than ever.
99er, please read my comments. I said that we have experienced large snowfalls in Decembers past and yes it snow like crazy during the Easton-Philluipsburg game of 2010, I am sorry I said 2011. We had crews out. And what about a white Christmas. We have had them in the past. And more importantly budgets are fluid. What we are saving this year, maybe $30,000 or so, is being used to offset the increase in gasoline prices. We take budgeting very seriously and review our situation on a weekly basis. That's how we have been successful in totally avoiding Act 47. You may remember the city entered the Early Intervention Program with the state. That was all prior to 2008. And shebbie, I always play nice.
Easton is the highest millage rate in the county. Correct. Our city has done more with less for the last four years. The millage rate has not increased. Please stick to the facts. Your erroneous posts don't bode well for you if you want to be taken seriously. If you want to know more about the city's budget move to our beautiful city and you will see that city real estate taxes haven't gone up in four years. We ended each of the last four years with a surplus, received an increase in our credit rating and have absorbed huge increases in pension costs and lawsuits filed years ago.
Mr, Sager, where in the world did you get that figure. I have never said the city is saving "millions" of dollars on snow removal. We spent $70,000 for a January 2nd delivery of road salt becasue we don't have a crystal ball to say we were not going to need it. No problem it is in storage and ready for next year. Also, we are on a calendar year and as I say to the press when they asked, we won't know if we have a savings until the end of the year becasue wew have had some very big snowfalls in December. Remember the Thanksgiving Day snow of 2011?
Our entire overtime budget for the street department is $50,000 and that isn't just for snow. Also, you assume that the rest of the budget is on target.......need I mention the price of gasoline? Budgets are very fluid and you can be assured of one thing - we are very frugal with your tax dollars and that has allowed us to keep real estates taxes and fees level for four years.

Easton's tax millage rate is high becasue our assessments are low. They are two entirely different issues. Also, in case you have't noticed, oh that's right you don't live in Easton, our real estate taxes haven't gone up in four years.
There are several points to take issues with in this article and the comments so far. Tony, I will definetly look into the issue of the employee leaving the car running. One it is against the law and two gasoline is expensive. However, the resident sticker program was a resident initiative due to the college students parking in the neighborhood for days at a time.
To answer the comment about taxes would be senseless becasue the individual would have to understand milage rate versus dollars. Our milage rate in Easton is high becasue our assessments are low. As an example, a home in the city worth $289,000 is assessed at $64,000 with a city tax bill each year of $1,596.00. For that amount Easton is a full-service city. If the assessments were current, that house would be assessed and 50% of its value or $145,000. If that was the case, the city millage could be reduced to 11 mills of taxes and the city would still get $1,596 in taxes.
As for the debate about the mayor versus the city administrator. The Charter Commission felt strongly that there was a need for a full time mayor ofr a city of our size and complexity. Without a full time mayor Easton would really be a Borough. There is nothing wrong with a Borough otr the Borough form of governement but a city our size needs the ability to have a face in Harrisburg and Washington. Just in the last four years we have received more than $60 million in grants. I would state that the City Administrator really should have the title of Managing Director like Allentown. But the Charter is very clear that the City Administrator is responsible to the Mayor and the Mayor is the Chief Executive Officer of the city responsible for day to day operations. We are fortunate in Easton, we have an excellent team of professionals who work long and hard to make the city better and we all get along. Both positions are more than full-time positions without a doubt.
Oh and did I mention we also provide services like police to the Borough of West Easton and fire protection to the Borough of GLendon. And yes, Larry's new restaurant is still open, I was just there, were you?
Thanks for clearing that up Jim. I was there for an hour and had the honor of introducing Tim to the crowd. The beer was part of the beverages offered and frankly I didn't see anyone even drinking the beer. And for the record this is not his legislative office - it is his campaign office. Tim Holden is a real genuine guy, you get what you see, no airs about him. He is an effective Congressman andhas a record of honesty, fine character and integrity -- really important values to have in Washington these days and hard to find. Tim is Dean of the PA delegation and is on the all important Transportation Committee. He will represent his new district well.
The Easton Area lost another fine individual who helped to mold our community into a great place to live. He was not only an outrstanding physician, athlete and scholar, he was a genuine human being who never had a bad word for anyone and never flaunted his success. Anyone who approached him was always greeted with a smile and a nice word. My condolences to his family,. all wonderful people in their own right.
