April 8, 2011April 8th, 2011 at 10:30 pm by Deanna Dewberry under Deanna's Journey
And now we wait again. My lymph node biopsies revealed that the cancer has not spread, but we're still waiting to learn whether the small mass in my right breast was cancer that was resistant to the chemotherapy agents we'd used for months to try to kill it, or was just dead tissue – the body of Fred the tumor now rendered harmless by the chemo.
I was told that I'd get a report back within 48 hours, but I've been told nothing yet. And it's the waiting – the excruciatingly hard waiting that makes cancer care so grueling. If the chemo annihilated Fred before surgery, the odds of my long-term survival increase tremendously. This is an important call. And I'm able to do little more than wait.
But God gives us power while we wait. He reminds us that "they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint."
And so it is. I'm waiting patiently on the Lord, trusting, believing, hoping, praying that His strength will carry us through whatever awaits us on this journey.

Peter Holland – Admirals Centre continues to build a winning reputation
Written By: Brad Johnson
Peter Holland is a 6-foot-3, 200 pound, 21 year old centre who currently plays for the Norfolk Admirals of
the American Hockey League. Holland was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks during the 2009 NHL Entry Draft held at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec. He was selected in the 1st round with the 15th overall
selection. Currently under a three-year, entry-level contract signed on April 4, 2010.
Holland or "Petey" as referred to by many of his teammates has already had his share of incredible hockey highlights during his young career. On November 05, 2011
he made his NHL Debut at Joe Louis Arena against the Detroit Red Wings. He would finish the game with 15 shifts for a total 11:06 in ice time. It was just a week later in a matchup against the Vancouver Canucks that he recorded his first NHL point, a game-winning goal against Roberto Luongo.
When asked about making his NHL debut and scoring the goal he answered with "I mean that's a dream come true obviously to play your first game in the NHL is a huge milestone. It was in Detroit so it's not too far from Toronto so I had a lot of family and friends that were able to come to the game, so it was nice that it
worked out that way. To score your first NHL goal I couldn't stop smiling for a couple days and to do it against a great goalie like Roberto Luongo, my buddies back home thought that was awesome. It was really exciting so it's something to work towards to get back there." Peter has a history of winning at a very young age, when he was a youth his minor Pee Wee team won the Quebec Pee Wee tournament in front of 11,000 fans.
In addition, he won a gold medal for Ontario at the World under-17 Hockey Challenge.
It seems "Petey" is off to a great start trying to work his way back to the NHL. In the opening four games this season for the Admirals he has registered 2 goals and 3 assists good enough for 5 points. He scored his first goal in an Admirals sweater during the opening period of the home opener. Holland made a beautiful defensive play as he intercepted a pass in the neutral zone and quickly skated alone across the blue line and from the left side snapped a wrist shot into the net blocker side. The goal would give the Admirals a 2-0 lead as they went on to win the game by a 4-2 score. When asked who he idolized growing up, he quickly responded "I was a big Joe Sakic fan when I was growing up and obviously he's not playing anymore he's retired and guy like Rick Nash a
big guy like that I look up to and just try to model my game a little after those guys and play my game." When asked to discuss what he feels would be needed to lockdown a centre position with. Anaheim he replied
with, "Be more consistent, the word I've been trying to give myself is just be more assertive, do things hard all the time and you know I think if I do that my skill will come though and you know like you said hopefully I'll have a full-time someday."
During the 2010-2011 season Holland would make his AHL debut on April 7, 2011 just two days after finishing his OHL season, ironically, a game in which he played against the Norfolk Admirals as a
member of the Syracuse Crunch. At just 20 years old and playing in his first professional game, he recorded an assist before scoring the game-winner in the third period as the Crunch went on to
defeat the Admirals 5-3. There was another 20 year-old rookie making his AHL debut along side Holland, none other than current Admirals goaltender Igor Bobkov.
How is this possible you ask? It's simple really, the Tampa Bay Lightning and Anaheim Ducks changed AHL
affiliations during the offseason, therefore, members of the Syracuse Crunch last season are now calling Norfolk, VA home and members of the 2012 Calder Cup Champion Norfolk Admirals are calling Syracuse, NY
home. If this young man continues to play the game as he has it will be just a matter of time before he cracks the lineup in Anaheim. Prior to this season, Holland appeared in 74 career AHL games,
tallying 66 points (26g, 40a). His four NHL appearances occurred last season during his November call-up. In juniors, from 2007-2011, Holland amassed 103g, and 155a, for an impressive 258 career points for the Guelph Storm of the OHL.
I expect should the lockout end tomorrow Holland could quite possibly receive the call.
Norfolk fans have a rich history of winning and incredible expectations dating back to
the era of legendary coach John Brophy. With a top-line centre such as Peter Holland it's quite evident that the
2012-2013 Norfolk Admirals should be taken seriously and will absolutely be a
contender to "repeat" as Calder Cup Champions.

This is exactly why we're going to love Anna Faris in her upcoming movie What's Your Number? What other gorgeous blond leading lady would promote her sexy new rom-com by talking about terrible she is at the art of lovemaking? Very, very few. "I'm not a very good lover," Faris apparently told Marie Claire's Joanna Coles at a screening of the film this Tuesday. "I'm so nervous about my sexuality.†Now, are you going to get gold like that from a Katherine Heigl or a Reese Witherspoon? Not on your life.
To illustrate another way in which she is distinctly unlike the protagonist of her upcoming film, the House Bunny star makes it clear that she is nowhere near the 20 partner limit set forth in the movie's plot. "I'm at five,†Faris, who is married to Parks and Recreation's Chris Pratt, explained. "Don't you think five is kind of low? I'm 34!†And she admits her actual age! This woman is so great, we're going to give her a pass on Scream 3 and 4. Well…at least 4.

Lost & Found
Teen Tragedy Brings New Meaning to Professor's Memoir
By Victoria Kidd, editor
A white South African boy stands atop the classroom building of his apartheid-era boarding school, leaning precariously over the balcony. An American boy from rural Pennsylvania stands on the berm of a busy highway in the middle of the night, watching a tractor trailer approach. One takes a step forward; the other, a step back.
Glen Retief, associate professor of English and creative writing, was the 12-year-old South African boy on a ledge; Brandon Bitner, the Susquehanna Valley teen who, on Nov. 5, 2010, stepped in front of an oncoming tractor trailer and took his life. Retief read news of the teen's tragic death and immediately related to his misery. His memoir, only months away from being published, chronicled the extreme anti-gay bullying he endured decades earlier at a whites only, militaristic boarding school in his homeland.
In The Jack Bank: A Memoir of a South African Childhood, Retief reveals the mental and physical torment he experienced at the hands of a 17-year-old prefect and his lackeys, and examines the toll it took on his life. "There's something wrong with you. We want to toughen you up, make you a man." That was the logic they presented to young Retief when they thrashed and berated him. He says the worst bullying occurred when the prefect invented "the jack bank."
"Jacks" is South African slang for beatings, and Retief and his schoolmates were given the chance to volunteer for jacks, which were entered into a ledger and earned "interest" in the form of future beatings. The rationale behind the jack bank was that, when the students misbehaved, they could avoid punishment by drawing upon the beatings they'd already saved up in their "accounts."
"What haunts me after the fact is we willingly participated in it. That's the part of it that made me want to write the book," Retief says. "Why did everybody go along with this to the extent that we put peer pressure on each other to be beaten? How crazy is that?"
At the height of the abuse, Retief found himself on the top floor of the classroom building, looking across the pastoral landscape toward his village, wishing he could go home and contemplating how much easier it would be to jump than endure more abuse. "I don't think I was desperate enough, but I do have a very clear memory of toying with that idea, so when I heard about Brandon, I remembered that and related to his despair," Retief says.

Autumn Adventure is a walk in the parkWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
I was two miles from home when the gray clouds opened and the first drops of water splashed upon me.
My daily walk stretches just a bit more than five miles, and while the skies threatened rain that Saturday morning, I had ignored them and instead consulted my phone app, which promised a few more dry hours. So I set off on my moderate-pace walk, which averages about 15-16 minutes per mile. I have been walking every day since Sept. 1 following bariatric sleeve surgery, and it has dramatically changed my health and life.
Just getting outside and moving clears my thoughts and rejuvenates my day. Sometimes I listen to music or talk radio. Sometimes I meet with people. Sometimes I walk with my family. But mostly I just put one foot in front of the other until I meet whatever goal I have that day.
I am not sure what inspired me that morning as the rain turned from light shower to heavy downpour, but as my clothes became wringing wet and puddles formed all around, I began to run.
Well, lumber/jog/stagger in the closest approximation to running I am likely to achieve. It felt like being propelled through a light car wash or under a horizontal waterfall; I was literally shaking the water from my hair and eyes as I ran.
It was exhilarating, cleansing and energizing and at some point without realizing it, I began laughing and whooping as I ran, water splashing under my shoes and pounding on me from above. It lasted about 10 minutes; I walked the last mile home, hitching breaths and squishing in my shoes.
It felt like a turning point and while only time can confirm that, since the baptism by rain I am even more happy when I am outside, whether it is in my Tecumseh neighborhoods or in Downtown Toledo dodging cars and playing Frogger at intersections.
One of my most pleasant walking atmospheres is Wildwood Metropark. I love the trails and trees there. As summer melts into fall and cold winter weather looms on the horizon, I am excited about an annual program the Metroparks of Toledo Area offer — and I hope you will join me.
Autumn Adventure, Metroparks' fall walking program, encompasses some of the best color Northwest Ohio trees have to offer. You can obtain a Walking Record in any of the Metroparks; walk the trails and keep track of your progress on your own or join a guided hike with a Metroparks naturalist.
According to its promotional materials, "Metroparks has identified some colorful trails. Walk eight of those trails and document them in your trail record to complete the program.
"The first 50 people to finish eight trails and turn in their Trail Record at the Wildwood Metz Visitors Center will receive their Autumn Adventure T-shirt free. Additional shirts will be available to eligible participants that complete the program for $14. T-shirt quantities and sizes are limited."

As 2012 ends, it's time to look back at, what I believe, were the year's top 10 sports stories.
This purely subjective list includes stories that have appeared in the News Bulletin. Some of you may have your own equally impressive list. I'll be interested to hear what suggestions you might have for other stories on the list.
1. Bulldogs induct inaugural Hall of Fame class
Sept. 14 was a special day for Crestview High School athletics as the Crestview High School Sports Hall of Fame's first members were recognized at an induction ceremony. Inductees were introduced during halftime festivities of the Crestview-Jacksonville Bolles football game that evening.
2. Baker track and field stars win state championships
The Baker track team continued to flex its muscles as the Gators produced two state champions in 2012. Ivory Smith won his second state title in 400 meters for the Baker boys; Morgan Jones won a state championship in the discus for the Baker girls.
3. Decade of dominance continues for Baker volleyball team
Players and coaches have come and gone, but the Baker volleyball has kept winning.

4. Dakota Dean signs baseball scholarship with Louisiana State
Crestview shortstop Dakota Dean could have chosen to play baseball at just about any school in the nation. But he decided to sign with LSU, where his brother, Blake, was an All-American and played on the 2009 National Championship team.
Dakota is used to comparisons with his big brother, but shrugs them off.
"Blake is Blake and I'm Dakota," he says.

Facebook plans to hold an even on January 15th at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters to show you what they're building. The event is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. Pacific Time and should last a few hours, as the invite read that lunch would be served.
At this point unfortunately it is not known what Facebook plans to show us, but for them to organize an event of this scale it must be pretty exciting. This event is actually the first media gathering the company has hosted since it announced various retail partners for its Gifts app.
You can take a look at the invitation below obtained by Mashable.
As we sit here and ponder what Facebook could be getting ready to show us, there is a couple different theories floating around. One of them includes a Facebook phone, which Mark Zuckerberg has mixed thoughts about. Last year it was rumored that Facebook could be partnering with HTC to create the world's first Facebook phone.
The second could be a re-designed version of Facebook. A designer by the name of Fred Nerby has created a concept of how Facebook could implement a conceptional and systematic design approach. I could describe it to you in words, but it would be better if you just watched the video below.
What do you think Facebook plans to unveil at their event on January 15th? Let us know in the comments section below.

Jim Dean Sorta Kinda Supports Marcy Winograd
David Swanson: Marcy Winograd is a stand-out. She's is campaigning against Congresswoman Jane Harman, a wealthy warmonger corporatist who has been caught conspiring against her nation with foreign agents, who suppressed the warranteless spying story until George W. Bush could get a second term in office, and who has referred to herself proudly as "the best Republican in the Democratic Party." Marcy Winograd, on the other hand, has been a leader of Progressive Democrats of America and has perhaps the smartest and most progressive platform in the country. She also garnered 38% last time, with no help.

Pomona Donates Rare Condor and Other Birds to Museum
Professor of Biology Nina Karnovsky's Vertebrate Biology class at the donation site.
Pomona College donated a rare California condor specimen and more than one hundred study skins of stuffed birds collected from Belize to the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology on October 30.
Pomona Associate Professor of Biology Nina Karnovsky, along with her vertebrate biology class, delivered the specimens to enthused museum curators in Camarillo, Calif.
Although there remains some ambiguity as to how the specimens were acquired by the college, there is no doubt about their scientific value.
According to textual evidence, the condor was killed and mounted in 1884, and donated to Pomona College in 1904, at a time when taxidermic collecting was a more active and accepted hobby. With less than 400 individuals alive today, the condor is now considered one of the most endangered vertebrates in the world.
While in the Pomona Seaver South Biology building, Karnovsky often walked by the bird and ruminated upon what better scientific purpose the bird could serve.
"I thought it was cool but wrong that we had it and that it should be donated for conservation," Karnovsky said, adding that, while the well-preserved bird specimens from Belize were interesting, the department used more local species for class instruction.
The College has a history of donating to the museum, the most notable of which was an egg collection offered to the institution in the late 1960s. The eggs, each inscribed with a number, came with corresponding field notes that later helped the Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology identify a collection of similarly numbered eggs which were discovered to be part of the same set of specimens. Karnovsky's class field trip consisted of a tour of the research facility, including their rare egg and nest collections.
"We got a tour of the basement where we saw an assortment of some really rare and special specimen, like the eggs of the now extinct elephant bird," said Michael Mulroy PO '10.
The museum has since kept in contact with Karnovsky, updating her on their progress with the condor. "They're going to do a genetic analysis of the specimen as related to other condors," Karnovsky said. "They're also going to make a display for the public and make it open for researchers to come from all over to study it."
An upper-division class taken by many science majors, Karnovsky's vertebrate biology class regularly incorporates excursions such as this one into its lab schedule. This semester, students have taken trips to see the Aquarium of the Pacific, the Bernard Field Station, and to visit Pomona alumnus Matt Barbour '07 at a lab where he studies rattlesnakes.

If you're trying to avoid a real tan, or maybe you don't tan at all but love the look of a golden glow, your only option is to fake it! If you're put off wearing self tan because you're worried about looking streaky or orange, fear not! It's often not the self tan formula that will jeopardize the finished effect, but the application itself. Simply follow our top tanning tips below to achieve your perfect faux glow!
Exfoliate: Self tan will cling to dry skin which can cause a streaky or patchy effect. Avoid this by gently exfoliating your skin in the shower first. A cleansing glove is ideal to use on the whole body including the more delicate skin on your declitae. Alternatively, use a moisturising body scrub like the Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Scrub (£28.50).
Dry off: Once out of the shower, allow your skin to dry before doing anything else to it. If your skin is still wet and you try to apply self tan, the damp skin could water down the formula for a less intense effect.
Moisturise: Apply a light layer of moisturiser to areas of skin which can be dry like on legs, elbows and around the ankle area. Applying too much moisturiser will make your tan look lighter, applying an overly rich moisturiser can also interfere with the tan formula and the way it develops.
Use your hands: The warmth of your hands will ensure an even application over anything else. Simply wash your hands during self-tanning a couple of times to prevent staining.
Dry off: Once you have applied your tan, allow it to dry before getting dressed. Avoid exercise or getting sweaty for a few hours while your tan develops.

Rob and his crew power washed and stained my deck. He was very helpful and patient. I would definitely recommend him to other people
Reliant Solutions power washed the aluminum siding on our home. Rob was very knowledgeably and discussed all the different options for cleaning aluminum siding. He cleaned the mildew off and the quality of the work was great! No complaints, I would definitely recommend him to others and plan to use him again. M. Reid
Rob and his team did an excellent job on short notice. Would recommend his service to anyone!
Outstanding work done at a fair price. Rob and his guys showed up when they said they would and did a truly great job. We hope to have him do additional projects for us.
Although we had to wait several weeks before the weather cooperated, I was very pleased with the good work cleaning and sealing my deck. I appreciated Ethan's discovery of two rotten support posts, which they replaced, so now we have a beautiful, sturdy deck on which to relax. Thanks! I would recommend them to all.
Rob was great to work with. He helped us replace our deck - which was falling apart at the seams. This was my first time using Thumbtack as well.
He came over, talked through what we were looking for, and then emailed us a quote confirming what we talked about. We scheduled the work a couple weeks out, and voila! - two days after starting work, we had a brand new deck.
The work was done with neat detailing, Rob's crew cleaned up after themselves and seemed to really enjoy their work. The price point was appropriate for the work, and the deck replacement was a very positive and un-stressful experience.
We are very happy with our deck, and would recommend Rob to others.
Excellent service and communication. Rob provided a thorough bid and schedule and delivered on those promises. Exactly what I had hoped for.
Very professional and gave a fair price. Would definitley use again in the future.
Very pleased with the thoroughness and quality of the job. Reasonable rates and a quick turnaround time were added bonuses
Professional, prompt and too quality. Highly recommend.
First Rate! Arrived on time and did a thorough job. Even blasted the dirt off my large deck rug. Rob's son did the job. His dad should be proud of him. I've had mixed experiences with power washers before, but Reliant Solutions are my guys from now on.
Rob's tech did a splendid job pressure washing our concrete patio. It's old and has cracks, but it's now so clean it's almost blinding. :-) Excellent price and after a few crossed messages his tech was there on time and completed the work quickly and completely to our satisfaction. Would have been far more hassle and expensive to go the rental equipment route. Thanks, Rob!
Thanks Rob! Our client was pleased with the results! Def will recommend you to other clients
Reliant Solutions did an outstanding job cleaning the siding on my home. Rob provided affordable, prompt, and professional service. I'll definitely use his services again.
Very personable and professional. We had them come clean our 70x40 event tent and it looks like new! Will definitely be using them again.
Rob responded to my project request right away. They did a great job! My deck looks like new. I will definitely engage his company again! Ann
Rob did a wonderful job staining my porch! I recommend him.
High quality workmanship with reasonable pricing. Rob rebuilt our deck and was flexible and worked around weather issues and design changes. Highly recommend.
Reliant Solutions cleaned and sealed my deck. The job was done very timely and the price was completely reasonable. The deck looks fantastic and Rob is great.
Outstanding service at a better price than anyone in the area could match.
Rob did fantastic work on a difficult job (removing old red clay from stone facade). He was responsive and reliable and very easy to schedule. Would highly recommend him.
We hired Reliant Solutions to pressure wash our home. My scheulde precluded me from meeting Rob and I was not able to be at home during the job. He was very easy to work with and was able to schedule the work with very little notice. The house looked great and it is a testament to their reliability that I was not there during the job. The work was completed as scheduled. It was done well and things were left just as they found them. I would gladly hire Reliant Solutions again.
Rob was great. We had some tricky staining on brick stairs and brick walls and he knew exactly the right treatments to apply to remove them. Price was very fair. I highly recommend Rob and Reliant for all power washing jobs.
Reliant has great customer service, offered a very reasonable price, and did a terrific job cleaning my porch and siding. We will definitely use them again.
Rob is very professional and did the work exactly when he said he would.
Extremely impressed by their work. They were fast, efficient, and did a remarkable job! Highly recommended!
Very good experience. Rob is very responsive. He came when he said he would and quoted a fair price. I'd recommend him.
Timely, efficient , professional and quality work
Reliant Solutions made pressure washing my house convenient and affordable.
Rob was very quick in responding to my post for deck work and made it out to give us an estimate within a week. He was reasonably priced and able to do a major repair, as well as planing, power washing and re-painting our deck. He was easy to communicate with when we had questions, and I would definately recommend him for any deck work.
Dan Kirk
Awesome job! Rob was very professional. We had a lot of moss, mold, and mildew on our home and roof. He cleaned everything, and did not miss a spot! The house looks great!
The completed work was a job well done. The back of the townhome siding stains have been removed, our deck and wood furniture looks like new, the partial fence once again has a presence and the front porch no longer shows signs of green. Despite the initial delay in scheduled time and powerwash blast that might have knocked our cable out we would hire again. Quality of work is king and we were impressed.
Hi Jessica,
Thank you for the review! After 13 years in this business, I have never had an issue with a client's cable being "knocked out." After speaking with you, I am glad to hear that it was not because of us and that your cable is running smoothly.
Reliant's services were professional, flexible and suited to meet my needs; I would highly recommend them for any services for which they advertise.
We had a Deck Over project go very wrong(major peeling within a year). We live in Nokesville, VA so I didn't know if Rob would come down this far but he was here the next day to give an estimate. Our 12' x 36' deck needed to have the DeckOver removed and stained. Rob recommended a two-tone look, with the Deck Over on the rails and the staining on the horizontal surfaces. I loved the idea. It took a whole day to sand the horizontal surfaces, touch up the existing Deckover and stain the deck. The price was just right. Rob even went above and beyond by quoting us a price on replacing the deck with a composite Trex, but discovering that was out of our budget, we decided to do the original idea. We will definitely seek out Rob for future power washing services....oh, and PS--- Do not use Deckover----
Excellent services. Committed to a time. Came, got it done and we asked for additional services got a great price and once again excellent service. Bravo.
Rob did a very good job on my deck. He was very professional anf finished the job when promised.
Ron's crew did a great job. The house, deck and stamped concrete are totally clean and looking brand new.
You cannot go wrong, nor do any better than hiring Rob Poole. Not only are his prices very competitive, his quality is extraordinary. I own an airport, which means a lot of grounds and buildings to take maintain, so I know quality, value and price when I see it. Get lots of quotes, to make yourself feel better, then hire Rob.
I chose reliant because they responded to my thumbtack request immediately with a reasonable quote. Rob Poole was extremely polite and was able to complete the house pressure washing within a few days. He came on time worked for about 2 hours and did an amazing job! We had mold/ mildew on our house and now it looks brand new! He went way beyond my expectations when he cloned on the roof area to clean the dormers, our entrance areas to the house and our roof under the deck area! Awesome job and I would highly recommend reliant!
Rob was fantastic to work with. Our deck was massive and he managed to power wash it and stain it all within a day. He took the time to explain things to me and provided excellent service and value. I would definitely use him on future projects.
Extremely satisfied
Rob was quick to respond to all emails and texts. He went above and beyond. We had a very tight turnaround time and he made it happen. House, deck and walkways look great.
Working with Rob was delightful. He was prompt, helpful in describing which rails might need to be replaced, etc. He did a beautiful job on our fence line of 525 ft. and we would definitely hire him again.
I recently used Thumbtack to find a contractor to clean our pool patio and side pathways. and clean and restain our deck. Rob Poole was extremely professional, easy to work with and did a great job for a very reasonable cost, and within the time frame estimated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Reliant Solutions and will use them again.
Superb, quick service. Rob went out of his way to get our job done quickly and well. He power-washed, stained, and sealed our deck and made it look new again. I highly recommend his services and would use him again!
Townhouse looked very clean afterward. Took the time to wash down the front door as well. Lasted approximately 1.5 hrs. He was very polite and down to earth. He was able to fit me in to his schedule even though my hours for availability were very slim. Thanks for a job well done.
Wow;I am so impressed with Robert;He did such a great job and was so efficient;My house and deck look new again.He also put up my down spout which came apart and down quite a while ago.His rates are also excellent.Will use him in the future.
Very nice job. Would definitely hire again.
Fast response, great service, great price. I will definitely use this service again
Quick response, very professional, excellent work deck and fence look brand new, explained in detailed what was involved and why, price was reasonable, a pleasure doing business with this company, highly recommend and will use again.
Professional. Fast. A great job! My deck never looked so good and it was a big help in selling my house. Highly recommended!!
A. Deck cleaning and sealing is the most common job that we perform for our clients.
Wood replacement and roof and siding cleaning follows closely!
A. Cleaning a slate patio that was neglected for years. It looks almost new again!
Cleaning and Staining a 6ft high decorative privacy fence.
Sanding a 15 year old deck smooth again. Staining it, cleaning the painted white rails and replacing some of the rotten posts.
A. Ask for referrals when you get an estimate.
Do a little research online to get an idea of what the project entails before hiring a professional.
A. I would want to know the difference between an acrylic sealer and an oil sealer. An oil sealer soaks into the wood deeper and does not leave a film. An acrylic sealer mainly sits on the wood and leaves a film.
A. They should ask how long the people coming out to do the work have been doing it. They should also ask what chemicals are used.

The purpose of NACEPT is to provide independent advice to the EPA Administration on a broad range of environmental policy, technology and management issues. NACEPT members serve as representatives of business and industry, academia, nongovernmental organizations, and state, local and tribal governments. Gallagher will serve a two-year term from 2012-2014, representing academic researchers studying sustainability. "The EPA is working to institutionalize sustainability as both a process and a goal. The National Research Council, at the request of the EPA, recently developed an operational framework for integrating sustainability at the agency. In adopting that framework, the EPA will look to NACEPT for guidance related to sustainability implementation, performance indicators, and associated metrics. As a researcher studying sustainability, I will be a valuable resource, especially as the EPA works to develop a "sustainability toolkit" for assessing and managing sustainability," said Gallagher. Gallagher received her bachelor's degrees in civil engineering and geological sciences from Rutgers University, a master's in civil engineering from the Ohio State University, and a doctoral degree in civil engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Prior to joining the faculty at Drexel University, Gallagher was a consulting engineer involved in the design and construction of infrastructure systems. She is a licensed professional engineer in Ohio. Gallagher is the recipient of several awards and honors, including the U.S. National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Award and the Alan Rothwarf Award for Teaching Excellence from Drexel University. Gallagher is a Provost's Fellow in Sustainability. As Provost's Fellow in Sustainability, Gallagher is leading the Urban Sustainability Planning Initiative, which is developing an exciting new research agenda at Drexel focusing on urban sustainability through the lenses of food, water and energy. Her research involves sustainability and resilience of infrastructure. Her current focus is on incorporating life cycle assessment methods into geoenvironmental and geotechnical engineering to provide decision-making tools for enhancing the environmental sustainability of infrastructure and remediation projects.

Moon dust found in storage in a California lab [1]
The dust, gathering dust. But the wrong sort of dust.
The dust, gathering dust. But the wrong sort of dust.
by Alex Hern [2] Published
I've mislaid some stuff I'd rather not have over the years, but never this badly. Karen Nelson, an archivist for the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in California, discovered 20 vials of moon dust from the Apollo 11 flight stashed away in the lab's warehouse.
The vials had been sent out to the lab shortly after Apollo 11 returned, and bear handwritten labels dated "24 July 1970"; but once the experiments were conducted, they weren't sent back to NASA, as they should have been. Instead, they found themselves vacuum sealed in a glass jar and left to gather dust for the next four decades.
Berkeley Lab's Julie Chao adds:
Nelson contacted the Space Sciences Laboratory. "They were surprised we had the samples," she said. She then contacted NASA, who asked that the samples be sent back but allowed her to first open the jar to remove the vials.

Interestingly, NASA knew that the samples were missing; Space.com reports [3] that of the 382Kg brought back from the moon between 1969 and 1972, very little is unaccounted for:
Of the 68-gram batch of lunar material distributed to Calvin and his collaborators in 1970, NASA knew that only 50 grams was returned, said Ryan Zeigler, NASA's Apollo sample curator at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Space agency officials assumed that the unaccounted-for 18 grams had been destroyed during testing. Zeigler thinks the rediscovered, roughly 3-gram sample likely ended up in storage as a result of some miscommunication.
The dust had apparently been used for a paper assessing the carbon content of lunar samples [4] as part of NASA's search for extraterrestrial life. As you may already know, they didn't find any. It was a disappointment.

The Dom is the third highest peak in the Alps and the second highest in Switzerland. The Dom is the summit of the Mischabel range, the highest massif lying entirely in Switzerland. The former name Mischabel comes from an ancient German dialect term for pitchfork, as the highest peaks of the massif stand close to each other. Despite its considerable height above the surrounding valleys, the Dom can be climbed quite easily, as the normal route does not present major difficulties. It is however a demanding 3,100-meter ascent with objective danger in the upper part. Cable cars and other facilities are located only in the Saas Fee area on the east side of the mountain, from which all the routes are difficult. The easiest way to the summit starts from Randa (railway station, 1,450 m), where a trail leads to the Dom Hut (2,940 m). The normal route starts from the hut and goes towards the Festijoch pass (3,720 m). Then it follows the Hohberg Glacier to the summit above the north face. The Festigrat, traversed on the first ascent, is the north-western ridge going directly from the Festijoch to the summit. It is preferred by climbers who wish to avoid the long slopes of the north flank. The Mischabel Hut on the east side is generally used for the ascent of lower summits in the district, such as the Nadelhorn, Lenzspitze, and peaks on the Nadelgrat.

However, I've benefitted from both worlds, with the traditions and values from my close-knit Russian family and my independent, adventurous spirit from America.

UPDATE: All performances have reached capacity. Consequently we are no longer accepting RSVPs. Thank you for your interest in The Wright Museum and "Spirit of Detroit."
"Spirit of Detroit," a new play by Detroit native Mercilee M. Jenkins and directed by Kate Mendeloff, explores Detroit's 1967 riot/rebellion and the incident at the Algiers Motel, where three young black men were shot and killed by police. The story is told through the experiences of Anthony, a young African-American man, and Lucy, a young white woman, who grew up just a few blocks from one another on Detroit's Eastside, but inhabited very different worlds. They are brought together during the riot/rebellion, seeking shelter from the violence at the Algiers Motel. There they are witnesses to the police brutality that resulted in these tragic deaths. They meet 40 years after the riot and revisit their past, re-discovering the spirit of the city they both love.
Each performance will be followed by a talkback with special guests. Free and open to the public.

MSc in Applied Economics
The MSc in Applied Economics is an exciting and distinctive programme in which you will not only learn and understand the fundamental principles of Economic analysis, but will also learn to apply the insights obtained from these principles in particular contexts. The aim of the programme is to equip students with the skills that are necessary to excel in your career as a professional Economist in the public or private sector, or as an applied Economist in a think tank or research group, for example.
The programme is oriented towards developing skills that are useful in a broad range of careers that use Economics in an applied context, rather that being focussed on training academic Economists. It focuses on the application of techniques for acquiring and analysing information, and for supporting decision-making, problem solving and policy making in private and public sector organisations. The programme will develop and enhance the key skills that employers of professional Economists find very desirable, acquisition of which will give you an edge in your career.
The Strathclyde MSc in Applied Economics is an update to the department's MSc EMP programme, which was the first (and, one of only two) economics postgraduate degrees to be formally recommended by the UK Government Economic Service.

MU ace moves on to pro league
HUNTINGTON -- National Pro Fastpitch is Andi Williamson's new address.
Marshall University's star softball pitcher signed as a free agent with the Chicago Bandits.
"I couldn't have done this without my three coaches, who have helped me develop as a person and player," Williamson said. "I am thankful for the support from the Marshall community, and I am proud to say that I will always be a part of the Thundering Herd.
"The Chicago Bandits are a top-notch organization and I'm very excited to be a part of the Bandit family."
Williamson had a banner senior season for Marshall (36-22) that included winning the Conference USA tournament and playing in the NCAA Lexington Regional.
She posted a 33-18 record, 1.93 ERA and 364 strikeouts in 322.2 innings pitched while holding opponents to a .198 batting average. The Harts, W.Va., native set Marshall season record for wins and strikeouts and a career strikeout mark with 731 in three seasons.
Her season honors included being named to the all-region and All-CUSA second teams.
"The signing of Andi was a move that we had to start looking into right away," said Chicago Bandits general manager Aaron M. Moore. "After Jolene Henderson suffered an unfortunate injury late in the (2012) season, we knew we had to add another pitcher.
"We're excited about the addition of Andi. She had a great career at Marshall and her right handed pitching will add much needed depth to our pitching staff."
Williamson's name will be announced along with the rest of the 2013 Chicago roster June 5 when the Bandits open the season against the Akron Racers at the Ballpark at Rosemont, Ill.

By Jeff Wehr
A recent poll published in the Economist/YouGov Poll, May 12, 2012, found that 70% of Americans believe that lobbyists and special interest groups in Washington compromise and distort our political process. The poll also revealed that only 19% of Americans feel that they are not well represented by our elected officials.
While the majority of Americans view our political leaders with suspicion and frustration, a majority also feel that most people are not capable of making good decisions about current political issues. So what do most people do? They place their trust in those they do not trust. The Roman historian Sallust remarked two thousand years ago, "Few men desire liberty; most men wish only for a just master."
Liberty requires personal responsibility. Our founding fathers were men who fought for liberty, who assumed personal responsibility, and placed on the altar their honor, possessions, and lives.
But over the years as government has grown, and I believe we have become less responsible as private citizens. You might say we have become so institutionalized by big government, that we look more to a system to solve our problems than to ourselves.
Over the last decade, since 9/11, we have seen how the Patriot Act and other legislation has gradually taken away certain liberties. But where are the champions for liberty? Where are the people who can still think for themselves?
The bright spot in the American electorate is that 40% of Americans see themselves as Independents. Millions of former Democrats and Republicans have left the ranks of party politics over the last few general elections. This tells me that some are willing to think about issues separately. They may agree with one party on fiscal responsibility, but side with the other party on social issues.
As millions are now willing to separate the issues instead of going with the party line, could this be a precious opportunity for us to blanket the country with truth-filled literature? Is this the golden moment to ask people about their thoughts on religious liberty?
There is a window of opportunity. As one trend tells us, many people are shying away from personal responsibility to trust the very elected officials they do not trust, yet there is a growing number of people willing to separate from party politics to think for themselves.
My prayer is that we will be a voice for present truth. It is time to cast out the net far and wide.

Black Man Admits Sending Threatening Letters from KKK
Categories: Criminally Stupid
|Behind the mask, no one knows you're black. Unless...
According to federal prosecutors, a letter mailed November 9, 2006, read: "Get all the blacks from Chevy Chase Apartments from out of O'Fallon before we burn the [w]hole complex down. KKK warning." A follow-up letter mailed nine days later to O'Fallon City Hall warned: "Get all the blacks out of O'Fallon before we start burning the[ir] houses down."
What's so odd about the letters is that the defendant, Justin Lamar Kidd, is African-American. So what possessed the now 28-year-old Kidd to mail the letters?
Prosecutors have yet to reveal that explanation, though the U.S. Attorney for Southern Illinois says the fake KKK threats had to be taken seriously.
"As I have said in other cases, my office cannot and will not ignore threats of violence of this nature," says U.S. Attorney Stephen Wigginton.
Kidd faces the possibility of ten years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine when sentenced this coming January. Kidd remains in custody -- held without bond -- until that January 13 sentencing hearing.

'A visual exploration of the aesthetics of concrete architecture.' 175 seductively photographed structures + projects by some of the most celebrated architects of the last century. Phaidon, 240 pages.
- Loading...
@ksaids: Well, if anyone is foolish enough to evn do tht then their skin deserves to feel shredded! Now hope U aren't tht foolish! ....Oh, sure of course U aren't! Well, we aren't so sure U aren't if this is what U think of some of the great successes architects have had with using concrete as a "SOLID", structurally sound, material for MILLIONS of building purposes over past century! May'b U should check out 'Architectural Digest', etc more often or best yet just not make comments on what U know not about! No offense!
Folks 'b sure to check this product out. Concrete has proven to be one of the most 'structurally sound' materials for a myriad of building purposes. Everything from foundations (as we already know) - to - 8-10+ ft. Fencing - to - walls - to - Outdoor Family Recreation Rooms: BBQ Pit/Patio/Walls/Wall Panels/Seating, etc. - to - Garden Structures, asian-inspired garden wall fountains - to - Indoor Flooring - to - Kitchen Counters/Flooring - to - Basement Entertainment Center Walls with built-in enclaves! And this is just the beginning!! Manufacturers & Architects & Designers & Consumers have all found a goldmine of a material! Jump 'n with your own innovative use of concrete! Yes, Fireplaces & Adobe Ovens too, and painted or frescoed!
Still the worlds most inexpensive building material....and yet it endures due to its myriad of possible applications! The possibilities are limitless! Even concrete bathroom showers/shower walls/shower flooring & bathroom vanity's have been done! Astounding! BUT MOST OF ALL---EXTREMELY DURABLE, when sealed!!!
So sad that American's become so blase' on good'ol common-sense products & materials that have proven to be 'BEST' for THOUSANDS of centuries! A society so used to 'SYNTHETIC' (imitation) materials that it is lethargic & pathetic! Not so for Japanese, Germans, Danes, Welsh, etc. They have more sense & higher respect for old, standard, 'common-sense' products & materials. Hum...no wonder their students often do better!

How do I make gnome automount USB devices with permissions so that everyone in the group can access them instead of just one user that is logged in at the time the USB storage is plugged in?
(Here the group is called "confus" and the users "narur" and "confus" are both in that group. Only narur was logged in, at time of USB plug in so only narur can access the USB device - even after a
sudo chmod g+rw. How do I change that?)
I run a media server at my home. It is connected to a projector as only monitor. Form time to time I like to plug in a USB drive to copy stuff from the server to said drive. The drive gets auto-mounted by the usual gnome shenanigans. Obviously I don't want to turn on the projector (take a while and is not good on the lamp). So I login to the server over ssh and do the copy over terminal from another PC.
Problem is, the USB drive gets mounted under a different user than the user I log in as via ssh. My ssh user doesn't have the rights to open the mount point chosen by gnome although it is in the same group. For clarification see this terminal session:
confus@conserve:/media$ id
uid=1000(confus) gid=1000(confus) groups=4(adm),8(mail),20(dialout),24(cdrom),46(plugdev),113(lpadmin),114(sambashare),122(admin),126(debian-transmission),135(debian-tor),1000(confus)
confus@conserve:/media$ ll
total 28
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 8 2009 cdrom -> cdrom0
drwx------ 1 narur confus 4096 Oct 8 16:53 contemplate # <-- USB drive
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 3 2010 iso
drwxr-xr-x 2 confus confus 4096 Dec 8 2009 usb1
confus@conserve:/media$ sudo chmod -R ug+rwX 4009-D44F/ # <-- Doesn't do anything
[sudo] password for confus:
confus@conserve:/media$ ll
total 28
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 8 2009 cdrom -> cdrom0
drwx------ 1 narur confus 4096 Oct 8 16:53 contemplate # <-- No change after chmod
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 3 2010 iso
drwxr-xr-x 2 confus confus 4096 Dec 8 2009 usb1
My ssh user is "confus" while the disk is mounted for the user "narur". Obviously a simple
chmod doesn't do since its a mount point. The problem exists for every USB storage device.
I know I could write a udev rule and I know that device based solutions exists. But there should be an easier solution to this problem, that's native to gvfs.
Nothing has changed since 2009. This is embarrassing. There should be an easy work around for this problem at least.
