CCSS is proud to bring CCSS members a new research-based publication for use in schools and university teacher preparation classrooms. A sample offering on California's Common Core State Standards and what it means for social studies teachers features the research and writing of Dr. Michelle Herczog, H-SS and Literacy Consultant at LA County Office of Education.
Because the major measure of school success is labeled English-Language Arts, many school administrators miss the critical contribution that social studies makes to knowledge of society, citizenship development, AND literacy. Many social studies teachers have been left out of the professional development, assessment, and curriculum planning processes in their districts in the last decade. Social studies has a declining portion of the instructional day, especially in elementary schools. The new Common Core ELA standards show the need for strong HSS content instruction K-12 for student and school success. For the sake of our students and our democratic society, this must change. You will find that Dr. Herczog's article offers strong support for this position.

Brunswick adult-care provider racing to address DHHS cuts
BRUNSWICK — A care provider for the developmentally disabled is getting creative with ways to address more than $300,000 in state budget cuts.
On Sunday, May 26, Independence Association will hold its first Sea Dog Dash for Independence, a 10-kilometer, 5-kilometer and 1-mile running event at Brunswick Junior High School.
"Most races don't target people who have developmental disabilities," Ray Nagel, IA's executive director, said. "We're trying to get people with developmental disabilities involved, and they're very excited about it."
Nagel said the idea came about last summer when IA was trying to think of a signature event that would promote wellness and raise awareness about its programs and services.
But budget cuts by the state Department of Health and Human Services also played a major role in the event's inception. "The state has become far less collaborative and far more dictatorial," Nagel said.
"We've been really hit hard this past fiscal year 2012," he said. "The future doesn't look very bright going forward."
Nagel said the cuts began last year when he learned IA would receive $300,000 less in the current budget from the Section 21 Medicaid waiver, the state's funding mechanism for developmentally disabled adults living in group homes and other residences.
One of IA's primary services is group homes for developmentally disabled adults, Nagel said. He said group home operations account for 70 percent of IA's annual average budget of $9 million.
"(The group home budget) covers all the clinical and therapeutic supports necessary for people to live in a group home," Nagel said.
IA also faced a curtailment of $25,000 in January for its supplemental room and board revenue from DHHS, Nagel said, which helps cover residential expenses for individuals who may not get other benefits. He said IA learned of the cuts in a last-minute emergency meeting in Augusta.
To mitigate budget cuts from the state, Nagel said he decided to cut health insurance and paid time-off benefits for his 230 employees who work across 21 locations in the Mid-Coast area.
"It wasn't received well," Nagel said, "but by being transparent and talking to the staff ... they realized there were no other options. They have suffered through it."
Nagel, who has been executive director for nearly four years, said his complaints about DHHS are not a result of the cuts, but "because of the lack of collaboration."
Nagel said DHHS is not including the agency in the solution process when it comes to making future budgetary decisions. He said he also takes issue with a new assessment system mandated by DHHS that will force IA to double its data entry duties.
"(The relationship) has now become adversarial," Nagel said. "In my first two years, it was an extremely complimentary relationship."
Responding to Nagel's complaints on Wednesday, DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew acknowledged his frustrations and said that some changes in the budget happen so fast, it's sometimes hard to keep everyone aware of the most current situation.
"I recognize that communications are critical to our relationship and we truly have that as our priority," Mayhew said. "... Sometimes the pace at which changes need to occur doesn't always afford us the longer term roll-out that everyone would prefer."
Mayhew said DHHS holds town hall meetings every other month for providers, along with many ad hoc meetings that occur in between. She said DHHS is willing to help providers improve administrative efficiency with the new assessment system.
"We are instituting performance-based measurements that are certainly requiring more data analysis and record sharing between the department and providers," Mayhew said, "and we are certainly working closely with providers to make these necessary changes in the system but in a collaborative fashion."
Speaking about the budget challenges DHHS faces, Mayhew said "we are both challenged by the needs to balance the budget and create some financial stability for the Medicaid program, but at the same time working (to ensure) that these critical services are provided to those most vulnerable and that there is accountability within that system."

A passion for fashion
"I never wear sweatpants. People always beg me to wear them," said Kalei Martinez. She admitted however, "I will only wear them one day out of the year."
Martinez, a senior at Chase High School, has proven that she has a passion for fashion. This "Best Dressed" student, as she was voted in senior superlatives, took first place in the Passion for Fashion Competition in the Fashion Marketing and Merchandising and Retail Management category at The Art Institute in Charlotte. For winning, she earned a $3,000 tuition scholarship to study fashion at the school.
"I found my passion for fashion when I was figuring out who I was as a person. When I found out who I was, it's like fashion opened its doors and I was fascinated with everything that was involved in the fashion world," Martinez said in a press release. "What you wear doesn't necessarily define who you are as a person, but it is extraordinary to see how your clothing can speak to people without you saying a word."
In the Fashion Marketing & Merchandising and Retail Management category, high school seniors were required to submit images of a fashion trend board, predicting the next big trend in fashion. Martinez's entry included a trend that she describes as "Romantic Fiesta Rampage." It included the use of bold vibrant colors, embroidery and romantic silhouettes. Her inspiration derived from her "heritage, culture, and love for the Mexican traditions."
"The top part was based on the heritage of my Mexican culture, and including things like bullfighting and clothing. Below that, I gave an example of the color pallet that I would use with the clothes. On the right I included the fabric I would use and below that were pieces from magazines that inspired the look," Martinez said. "We also had to write an essay on why you chose that, elaborate and explain the fashion trend. It took about a month to put together."
Martinez will progress on to the national round of the competition where her entry will be judged against other local winners from throughout North America for the grand prize: a half-tuition scholarship to an Art Institutes school, and a VIP trip to New York City which includes a "meet and greet" at Seventeen's New York City offices, lunch and a $500 shopping spree at DKNY with a Seventeen Style Pro, and a $500 gift card to shop anywhere in the city.
When Martinez begins attending The Art Institute this fall, she major in fashion marketing and merchandising.
"My dream is to see my clothes on the red carpet or in a fashion show. I want to travel the world and work in fashion," Martinez said. "Fashion has always been my obsession. It's not just about the clothes you wear. It expresses who you are. So why not make it my job?"

Will English come between EJ and I? (Soaps.com)
For all you soap fans going back to school, we compiled a list of your biggest fears when it comes to balancing school and soaps. There are endless dilemmas when it comes to hitting the books while your soap is on.
10. You worry that the DVR will break down and not record your shows. Even though you are hungry and tired, the first thing you do when you got home from school is check to make sure your show was taped. If you wanted a sneak peek, you ask your mom if anything "juicy" happened that day. She instantly knows you're talking about your beloved soaps. Not pot roast.
9. You're afraid that the professor will catch you watching Y&R during Physics. Okay, so some students can't wait to go home and check their DVRs. They want to see how Victor Newman stopped Billy and Victoria's wedding, and they want to see it now, so quietly watch the video previews that Soaps.com puts out daily! Just make sure you don't mutter, "You got that?" along with Victor, while you're in class.
8. You're afraid that your WiFi connection will cut out, and you won't be able to read Twitter @soapoperafan or Soaps.com updates. Sure you're a little concerned about that Psychology exam but did Eli really fake his death? Has Amy posted the OLTL update yet? How can you keep up with the latest soaps news and tweets from your favorite soap stars when you're stuck in class since your professor didn't appreciate you watching a clip of Brenda's return on General Hospital. But hey, you couldn't miss seeing Jason and Brenda together again!
7. You're rushing to get your research paper done, so you can dedicate all your attention to your show. You can't miss what happens to Sami or EJ in the shooting storyline. The annoying English essay you have to complete is cutting into your soaps time! After you failed at paying someone to write your paper for you, you decide to buckle down and finish the paper over the weekend. Because come Monday, your eyes are glued on Days of Our Lives as you wait with bated breath to hear EJ's fine English accent. That counts as research, right?
Study or catch Bictoria's wedding? (CBS)
5. You call your friends to discuss your show, instead of discussing your homework. You and your friends spend hours on the phone contemplating what Jackie will do with the baby on The Bold and the Beautiful. Right before you decide to hang up, you remember that you wanted to ask something about your project. Oops.
4. You accidentally write down Tea's name instead of your own on your test paper. Your name is nowhere close to Tea's but you have One Life to Live on your mind. You can't think clearly wondering about the mystery surrounding her death on One Life To Live. Did she really die? Will she return?
3. You skip lunch and run home to catch your soap. By the time you get back to class, you realize that you were too wrapped up in Angie's hearing to eat. Once your stomach growls in class, you remember that you should've eaten while you watched All My Children. Even while starving, all you can think about is what happened on All My Children today...and food.
2. You forget your phone and won't be able to text your friends soap news during class. Your phone is buzzing in your locker with incoming texts from your friends that read "Did Chloe switch the paternity results?" or "I think it was Daniel." Too bad you can't reply to your five text message threads with different friends about who switched the results on Days of Our Lives.
1. Your soap gets cancelled. Of course this is what all soap fans worry about. What if your soap gets cancelled? What a disruption to your life that would be! What would you talk about with your friends? What would you Tweet about? What would you read on Facebook's Soaps.com page? What would you need updates on during class? Which favorite soap character would you model your fashion style after? You can't even fathom thinking about it. So you don't. You just return to humming your soap's theme song in your head. What else would you do in class? You could always study…or find another soap!
What are your ultimate worries when it comes to enjoying your soaps while going back to school? Let us know! Catch Soaps.com on Facebook.
-Rolla Bahsous and Christine Fix.

condensed cream of celery soup

1/2 teaspoon

1/2 teaspoon

1 (10 ounce) package
frozen broccoli, thawed
I was looking for a roast pork recipe and came across this. I cubed the roast and seasoned with salt and pepper...then I sauted till cooked though. I substituted the cream of celery with cream of broccoli and cream of mushroom simply because that was what I had on had. I omitted the curry because I am not a fan. I also used crushed up ritz crackers to top the dish before baking. I love this and wil make it again.
This was very simple and turned out good. Well it had - no smell - no taste.
maybe it would be good with shredded cheese mixed in and more seasoning.
65 Ratings
I've been looking for a good leftover pork recipe and this fit the bill to a T. It's very similar to a Chicken Divan recipe (minus the rice) I like to make.
I didn't have cream of celery soup, so I instead used 1 can of cream of mushroom and 1 can of broccoli cheese. During the last 8 minutes I added shredded cheese and topped with croutons before putting it under the broiler. It was fabulous. I would also think that a box of dried stuffing mix (Stove top or similar) would also be a great addition.
Thanks - This will be a day after staple whenever we have pork roast or leftover tenderloins.
Thanks for the recipe Julie, it was great! I had some left-over pork chops that I didn't want to get dried out by cooking them a second time. This casserole not only kept the pork moist, but the curry and black pepper gave it an excellent flavor. I used fresh broccoli instead of the frozen kind. This was an easy recipe.
This is a definite keeper, I had to change the soup to Cream o'Mushroom and Cream o'Broccoli and Cheese (what I had). I did and (and solved the presentation problem 3/4 cup of french fried onions (of green been casserole fame) then 5 min before serving topped with the rest of the can and baked 5 min more ... viola ... presentation simple, Thanks!
Fantastic!!! I made this with frozen spinach and frozen corn instead of broccoli, and added a bit more curry spice, including a dash of cumin, tumeric, and cloves for a more authentic Indian curry flavour. I also reduced the mayo to about 1/4 cup and used cream of mushroom because that's all I had. I will definately make this again!
This was great. I have made this several times and like adding fresh broccoli better. No need to cook the broccoli first. Also try using some pork sirloin. Its a cheaper cut of meat, just cut up and fry with some seasoning in a touch of olive oil.
Really yummy and reheats well. I made a few simple changes. Substituted salt for the curry, used a can of cream of chicken and a can of cream of mushroom soup. I also used a 14 oz bag of broccoli flowerettes and a couple handfuls of shredded mexican cheese stirred in. The next day I added a little milk to the leftovers before I microwaved them. It seemed even better the second day!

Vahid Hosseini, 62, of Reston, was sentenced June 13 to two and a half years in prison followed by two years of supervised release, for exporting to Iran various high-tech electronics and other items that could be used to enhance a nuclear device. According to court documents, from January 2008 to July 2013, Hosseini, an Iranian-born immigrant who became a naturalized U.S. citizen, operated a business known as Sabern Instruments from his residence in Reston.
Court documents state that through this business, Hosseini procured over $250,000 worth of goods from over 60 American manufacturers which he then repackaged and shipped to entities in Iran.
The list of high-tech goods included tachometers, power supply instruments, high-temperature probes, ammonia test tubes, valves and machinery parts — all of which court documents state are used in a variety of commercial applications, including nuclear power plants. Some of the items Hosseini sent to Iran were found to be capable of adding value to a nuclear weapons program and to other nuclear related applications and research areas, according to court records.
Hosseini routed his shipments through the United Arab Emirates in an attempt to disguise the fact that the items were destined for Iran and "knowing that he was transporting these goods in violation of U.S. trade sanctions against Iran," court records state.
Such exports are prohibited without a license issued by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control.
In a related money laundering scheme, Hosseini pleaded guilty to having more than $700,000 wired into his company business account from entities in Iran and the UAE, much of which was derived from his illegal export business. Hosseini pleaded guilty on March 6. He agreed to forfeit $50,000 as part of his guilty plea in this case.
Hosseini's attorney, Fred Mostafavi Rejali of McLean, declined to comment on the case.

Back up your Kindle books? Not so fast, tablet users
"If Amazon refuses to allow you offline reading of your purchased ebooks, Joanna, I agree with previous posters that you have to find ways around that yourself. Amazon's decision is anti-competitive, of course, but human ingenuity knows no bounds."
I guess I still don't get it. My WiFi is off, I have books in the On Device tab of the Kindle App on my Vox. I can read the books listed there.
A lot of answers but none explains what is going on.
Joanna, the "Transfer via USB" option *needs* a physical device ID for the server to produce the file it downloads for you because the files it offers up are DRM-encrypted for that *specific* device. That is, why if you have more than one physical device registered to your account, you have to specify *which* one you want to sideload to.
It isn't really meant as a backup means–though it can be used that way–even without breaking DRM. It is simply a way to enable sideloading for devices without direct wireless access.
This isn't a matter of Amazon going out of its way to treat customers without devices differently (though they do in the case of the Lending Library, for example) just the way Whispernet works; each device and each reading app has a unique ID so the system can compile a file only readable on that device or app. If you don't have a device registered it simply *can't* generate a file for sideloading with the matching ID.
No device ID, no file–just as Mobi DRM can't deliver a file without a PID.
It isn't a Cloud issue, either, but rather a property of walled gardens. Apple does it with iBooks. Kobo does it with their Kepubs. Sony does it with their PSN downloads and Microsoft with their XBL content: garden content stays in the garden.
Your only option for backing up at this point is, as suggested, to register a copy of Kindle for PC or Mac and DeDRM the files.
I was told by Amazon tech support that Kindle for Mac/PC does not produce a physical file; that is untrue, but I did not address it in my article because I was worried that if they believe it is untrue and it's pointed out that it isn't, they will close the loophole and I won't be able to get physical files at all.
I do download and de-drm my books; I was worried more about future purchases. Felix has the best explanation for what's going on here. Much appreciated.
Biggest reason why I never ever buy a title through my Kindle, only through my Mac.
Buy it.
Strip it.
Back it up.
Load it.
It's too bad – I was just introduced to your site: Teleread, and now I have a very skeptical opinion of the quality of information being put out here. I own a Kobo Touch and download free and paid for books from Amazon regularly using the Kindle for PC option. Kindle for PC is a piece of software you download and it talks to your cloud.
Do your research and write proper articles. The last thing the internet needs is more MISINFORMATION.
Signed, Won't be back soon.
The PC and Mac version do produce a file for *internal* app use; that is how the DeDRM works, it Decrypts them and saves them in unencrypted form.
Absent DeDRM-ing, they are only usable by the app that downloads them so they can't be used for sideloading. So that may be what the Amazon support was saying: the apps don't produce a file you could use.
About the VOX? It's android-based isn't it? So you can run one of the Kindle for Android apps, right? You're not limited to the online Cloud reader, are you?
Yes, I am using the Android app. My discussion with Amazon was solely about how to get a backup file onto my computer.
Bree …… Ouch !
FYI: typo alert
"She has parked her pen is such places as:
nyc | london | montreal. "
Sad to see such copy quality …..
@Joanna–and now that you know that books are actually stored on your Android tablet (look in the Kindle folder after you connect the Vox by USB and turn USB storage on) and that using Kindle for your desktop is also an option, is there something you would like to change about your article? Perhaps Paul Biba can add in a note of some kind for you.
No Vicki, I don't think I do I didn't address the Kindle for Mac/PC option in the article purely because I specifically asked Amazon and they specifically said I couldn't do it, so I worried that if I said something, they would disable the functionality. The official party line from Amazon is 'no device, no file' and that is unchanged by the fact that there may be third-party hacks around that.
Felix had the most helpful explanation as to why that might be, and I appreciated that. Anyone who wants more info after reading my article can of course read his comment underneath.
I'm rather surprised that Teleread would post a rant like this, considering this problem is negated by the Kindle for PC/Mac apps, which do, in fact, download the book file onto your computer. The challenge from there is stripping the DRM, which isn't much of an issue. Then the files are easily converted and transferred to the book purchaser's preferred device.
pidgeon – rants generate site clicks
Howard, you're right, people love a train wreck.
This site seems to be becoming the Consumerist of ebooks. Lots of posts with complaints but no research. I stopped reading Consumerist, and I've dropped this RSS feed as well.
I believe that all ereader devices offer the ability to plug your device into your computer and download your books from the device to a folder on your hard drive. This essentially gives you a copy on your ereader and one on your computer. This may be enough for some people.
I recommend you a nice article to help you backup your kindle books with ease.
with this link:
I think it's useful for you.
Not sure why everyone has turned this into a DRM issue when it isn't. It seems that Amazon has recently changed their eBook purchase settings. Unless you have the Kindle Hardware you no longer have the option to download your eBook purchases from the Amazon cloud to your PC or Mac. Therefore, you can no longer get a file to covert or remove the DRM. I am coming across this today after having the option to download directly to my PC in the past which is extremely frustrating. If someone has figured out how to download their ebooks from Amazon or the Kindle PC app to their PC recently (Dec. 2012) please advise!
That's it. We only purchase the tickets to acess the Kindle books, not the books themselves. I have heard of those who lost eBooks from mobipocket and nobody wants to pay for something but can't use it some time later.
Well, we actually can download Kindle files with Kindle for PC/Mac app, but that depends on registration as well. Frankly, I think the most reliable way to back up eBooks is to make them unprotected, which can be opened and read without any restriction. Anyway, this is what I would recommend to you guys:http://www.epubor.com/how-to-back-up-your-kindle-books-to-computer.html
I don't think backing up those downloaded AZW or AZW3 files to another storage or drive really work.

Is there anything simpler? Is there anything more magnificent? Can you think of anything more elegantly and naturally perfect?
There's not much to say about a beautiful caprese salad and yet there's everything to say about it. There are very few flavor combinations like mozzarella, tomato and basil, in my opinion. Whether it's raw or cooked, it works really well (margherita pizza anyone?). There aren't many dishes like that, or at least, not many that we've personally come across in my experience, anyway. Individually each element, each ingredient, is highly unique and clearly has a voice of its own, yet when they all come together it composes an entirely new and even more delicious harmony of flavor. There's the sweet and tangy juicy tomatoes, the rich and creamy bite of the fresh mozzarella, the earthy yet sweet basil. I added spinach to fill out the dish a bit and amp up the leafy green factor. When you love caprese salad as much as I do, anything to make the experience and enjoyment hang around a little longer without the additional calories is a very good thing.
Easy. Simple. Delicious.
Spinach Caprese Salad
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons aged sweet balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in halves
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella, crumbled

In celebration of National Library Week, April 10-16, 2011, we've asked everyone in our community to write their stories about libraries and books. Read all the stories.
If you would like to write your own story, see the Create Your Own Story form for more information.

I attended a small, rural grade school in southern Indiana. Every Wednesday we would eagerly line up after morning milk to be able to peruse the new books brought to us by the Bookmobile. From second grade through sixth grade it was the highlight of my week. I vividly remember standing in line, playfully pushing and shoving, as we waited to be able to cross the parking lot and enter the Bookmobile. We would always be very excited to get the next Choose Your Own Adventure book, books describing dinosaurs, animals, the solar system, or books describing heroes from sports or history. The Bookmobile brought us new selections every week, something which our small school library was unable to do. I'm very happy to know the Bookmobile still serves small communities.

Kathleen Parker, the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist for the Washington Post, makes a nice mention Catholic Relief Services in her Washington Post column today. Her larger point is that the media tend to focus on the negative about the Catholic church and overlook all the good it does in the world. She writes:
Without the Catholic Church — the largest charitable organization in the world — millions of the least fortunate would suffer. Catholic Relief Services works in nearly 100 countries and reaches 100 million of the poorest people with emergency aid and health care, including 280 HIV and AIDS projects. Catholic Charities USA provided food services to 6.5 million people last year, according to Vatican sources.

Washington's source for compelling television and inspiring classical music. Donate Online
Sure, it seems a bit counter-intuitive. How could the favorite subject of protest music also be its greatest protector? Well, believe it. If it wasn't for Alan Lomax and the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress there might not be a Woody Guthrie — and thus by extension — a Bob Dylan or a Bruce Springsteen, and well … you get the rest.
In March 1940, Lomax arranged for Guthrie to travel to Washington, D.C. to record traditional ballads and his original songs at the Department of the Interior recording lab. What emerged from three days of sessions is one of the purest documents of Americana ever released.
The holiday season is pretty busy for the United States Post Office -- lots of letters and packages going all over the country, from coast to coast. And we're all familiar with the warnings that tell us to mail our items early if we want to guarantee delivery by Christmas. Well, apparently D.C. residents weren't heeding the warnings back in 1921. So the U.S.P.S. called in the big fella to get the point across.

Washington doesn't usually get mentioned in the pantheon of great American music cities but we've had our moments. One of them was Sunday, November 28, 1965 — 47 years ago today — when Bob Dylan played the Washington Coliseum.
Curiously, details about the concert itself are scarce — the Washington Post didn't bother to write a review (kind of surprising since Dylan was very well known by 1965), and Dylan's own website doesn't have a setlist from the show. But the singer's visit to Washington was significant for one now-famous image the concert produced.
Yarrow Mamout was the most prominent African American in early Washington. He was a Muslim, educated in West Africa to read and write in Arabic. He and a sister arrived in America from on a slave ship in 1752. After forty-five years as a slave of the Beall family of Maryland, Yarrow (his last name) gained his freedom and settled in Georgetown. In 1800, he acquired the property at what is now 3324 Dent Place and lived there the rest of his life.
The house on Yarrow Mamout's old lot in Georgetown is scheduled for demolition, but efforts are underway to save any artifacts from his occupancy as well as his mortal remains from the bulldozer.
Creative advertising wasn't just for Don Draper and the New York Mad Men.
In 1959, Anacostia's Curtis Bros. Furniture Company commissioned Bassett Furniture to construct a 19.5 foot tall Duncan Phyfe dining room chair to put on display outside their showroom at V St. and Nichols Ave. SE (now Martin Luther King, Jr Blvd. SE).
In one of the more creative publicity stunts D.C. has ever seen, the company then convinced local model Lynn Arnold to live in a glass apartment atop the chair for seven weeks. Crowds flocked to the store in droves to check out the scene.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Redskins will play the Cowboys at colossal Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. With a seating capacity of up to 100,000, a retractable roof, and a 60 yard-long HD video board amongst other amenities, the stadium is something to behold.
But, when it comes to innovative stadium designs, the Cowboys have nothing on former Redskins owner George Preston Marshall.
George Washington, the father of our country, was a deadbeat book borrower? Apparently so. In April of 2010, the New York Library Society was going through the process of restoring and digitizing their holdings when an employee stumbled across the long lost fourteen-volume collection, Common Debates, a collection of transcripts from the English House of Commons. But, the collection was missing a volume. A check of the old circulation ledger proved that volume #12 had last been checked out by library patron George Washington October 5, 1789, along with a book by Emer de Vattel, entitled Law of Nations.
The books were due back on November 2, but according to the records, neither was ever returned.
Think the impacts of the Dust Bowl were only felt in the Great Plains? Think again. In the spring of 1935, a dust storm nearly blocked out the sun above Washington, alarming local citizens and spurring Congress to take action on soil erosion policy.
On November 17, 1927 one of the fiercest storms our area has ever seen touched down near Old Town Alexandria. With winds estimated at 125 mph, it ripped through Alexandria, D.C. and Prince Georges County within minutes, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
The Who vs. Led Zeppelin
It's one of the eternal questions argued by classic rock aficionados — which of these virtuoso power trios could rock the hardest? Perhaps the only people qualified to make that call were those lucky enough to be at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md. on the night of Sunday, May 25, 1969, when Led Zeppelin opened for The Who in one of the most epic double bills in rock history. It was a pairing of hall of fame live acts that would never be seen again on the same stage.
If you're passing through Brookeville, Maryland these days the town might not seem too different from the other suburban stops along Georgia Avenue. But don't be fooled. Brookeville has a unique claim to fame. For one day during the War of 1812, it was the capital of the United States.
But if a couple of residents would've had their way, it wouldn't have happened!
Yesterday, we posted a story about the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown in Arlington National Cemetery in 1921. Most readers are probably familiar with that memorial (and, if they read our post, they now know a little about its history). It is, after all, one of the most sacred places in the country.
But, what you may not know is that there is another Tomb of the Unknown just down the road in Alexandria, Virginia. In the burial yard of the Old Presbyterian Meeting House at 323 South Fairfax Street lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution. It is just seven miles away from its more famous counterpart, but light-years apart in the amount of attention it receives.
On November 11, 1921, three years to the day after the Treaty of Versailles ended World War I, President Warren G. Harding presided over the dedication of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. It was an emotional affair for Washington and the nation.
Just as this week's cold snap sent many people searching for their winter coats, it also reminded some shivering citizens of a particular month-long "celebration" that keeps their cheeks warm, too: "No-Shave November."
As a person who appreciates history and a good facial hair crop, I couldn't help but think of certain furry Civil War general who rose to prominence 150 years ago this week.
Virginia is the 35th biggest state, yet has the 3rd most counties and independent cities in the country. How did that happen?
Well, at least part of the answer is lies in the Commonwealth's colonial origins.
It's Election Day, and hopefully most of you are braving the cold and the lines at your local polling place to make sure your voice is heard. If you cast your ballot for a presidential candidate in the District, you exercised a right that has only been around for 52 years; that's how long DC residents have had the right to vote in presidential elections, a right granted by the 23rd Amendment.
Well, the Redskins may have trouble winning football games these days, but they have proven quite effective at predicting presidential elections over the years. Since the team moved to Washington in 1937 there have been 18 presidential elections. In 17 of those, the so-called "Redskins Rule" has held up:
If the Redskins win their last home game before the election, the incumbent's party will win the election and keep the White House. If the Redskins lose, the challenging party's candidate will win the election.
So, what does this mean about this year's election?
I came across this photo while doing some research about the National Zoo. It's a picture of jazz quintet playing a concert for a polar bear in the 1920s. Errr... what? I'd really like to know what precipitated this. Did these dudes just wake up one morning and say, "Hey, let's go down to the zoo and play a set for the bears." "Good idea, I'll see if Gertrude is free to dance for them."? Well, in any case, the bear seems to be enjoying it. Or maybe he's just waiting for his chance to take a swipe at them through the bars.

Amish horses and buggies in the Washington, D.C. Metro area? Yep. It's true. Over 200 Amish families live and work in St. Mary's and Charles counties in Maryland, less than 40 miles from downtown D.C. The settlement, which is centered around the town of Charlotte Hall, dates to 1939 when seven families migrated to the area from Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania for the cheap Maryland land(!) and to escape pressure from the Pennsylvania state government.

When Massachusetts General Hospital anesthesiologist Lena Dohlman, MPH '93, volunteered to mentor incoming students at the School, she saw Halloween as the chance to introduce her mentees to that peculiarly American ritual known as "trick or treat." Accompanied by her young daughter, who chose punk-rocker couture for the occasion, Dohlman took physicians Freeman Changamire, 27, and Dharam Kumbhani, 25, around her Brookline neighborhood.
As Dohlman pointed out Superman, the Power Puff girls, Harry Potter, and other icons of pop culture, she got a taste of what she would later describe as mentoring's "two-way-street" of rewards. Changamire, a Zimbabwean, told her about Halloween's roots in an ancient Celtic pagan ritual held to mark the fall harvest and honor the dead. And Kumbhani described Diwali, a national religious holiday in India. During that celebration, he said, families light their homes with hundreds of tiny lanterns and carry sweets to friends and loved ones, door to door.
That same night, the Swedish-born Dohlman and her husband, orthopedic surgeon Toby Gerhart, MD, welcomed the two HSPH newcomers to their table, along with other mentees and colleagues from Palestine, Vietnam, and Nigeria. For Changamire, this first of many dinners with Dohlman was "the best thing that happened to me all year." It was the kind of exhilarating cultural and intellectual exchange that makes HSPH mentorships enriching for those who take part.
Alumni are asked to give at least two hours a month. In turn, Loret says, "They get the satisfaction of transferring their wisdom to a new generation, and of knowing they're needed by the School. They also have the simple pleasure of interacting with young people."
Mentors supplement the guidance students already get from their faculty advisors and the Student Services staff, which includes career counselors, financial aid officers, a student-activities advisor, and a social worker. Mentors offer students help in navigating the Harvard labyrinth, a leg up on developing a network of supportive colleagues, and advice in career and personal matters. Students, on the other hand, might learn to juggle priorities, or discover what life is really like in a particular specialty. International students gain insight into American culture, institutions, and ways of practicing public health.
concrete AND intangible
"I've always had an interest in people from other cultures, and I've learned a lot from student mentees," she says. They've heightened her sensitivity to patients who are reluctant to bare even their arms, for example, or who are terrified by the litany of potential side effects disclosed through the U.S. process of informed consent.
Her mentees say she's empowering. "I can't imagine a better mentor," says Changamire, who will finish his PhD in 2007. Ultimately, he aims to influence policy as a member of Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health. "I've learned a lot just by observing how Lena deals with people. I can talk with her about anything and everything--social issues, school, career paths, what it's like to be a doctor and have a family." Down the road, he adds, he'll look to her for tips when he applies for a residency at top-flight academic medical centers.
As for Kumbhani, who earned an M.S. in epidemiology in 2003, Dohlman advised him last fall on his statement of purpose for U.S. residency applications. She also made phone calls on his behalf. "She really put her credentials on the line," he stresses. After completing a research fellowship at Boston's Veterans Administration and Brigham and Women's hospitals, Kumbhani was matched to a residency at the Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania. He will study internal medicine there before returning to India to do clinical research in chronic disease.
The most important thing Dohlman gave him was intangible, however. "The biggest challenge has been dealing with things on my own in every sense, emotionally, financially, personally," Kumbhani says. "When I met Lena I had been interviewing all over the country for residencies, and she emailed me. She noticed I was really down. It takes seven months to get matched to a hospital, and you have to jump through lots of hoops, especially as a foreign student. She wrote saying she knew I was a good student and would do well in the long run. It really boosted my morale."
Dohlman "has gone out of her way to answer any questions about the culture or school," Kumbhani says. She's been a social conduit as well. He and Freeman have become good friends, he says, "and whenever Lena has us to her house, we meet interesting people from all over the world."
it forward
this story full circle, Changamire has volunteered to mentor Zimbabwean
high school students who come through an embassy program to U.S. colleges.
"I've always been like a mentor to people," says this only son
among six sisters.

Day 316: What a Difference a Little Spray Paint Can Make
I'm happy with the way the Lodge bathrooms turned out. They're a little on the sparse side—simple, plain, easy. I went with an open farmhouse table vanity in each bathroom, as I explained, because bathroom vanities with doors scare me. Bathroom vanity doors mask all kinds of dampness, dankness, and expired toiletries, and I'd rather keep everything out in the open and let it breathe. And since the Lodge isn't a full-time residence anyway, there's not really a need for a lot of hidden storage.
The only problem with that approach is, white pvc pipes aren't the most attractive thing in the world of home improvement.
Even with all the mirrors and tile and lighting…
They just don't scream "zen" to me.
Did you know you can buy "oil rubbed bronze" spray paint to match "oil rubbed bronze" faucets and fixtures? I didn't either, but they do…and it works. And strangely, it has a little bit of a texture to it that really duplicates the look and feel of metal fixtures, and best of all, it's supposed to really hold up and be chip resistant. If it doesn't work longterm, our only option will be to powdercoat the pipes with an oil rubbed bronze finish.
But for now, a couple of $6.99 cans of spray paint have gotten me all kinds of excited.

That makes such a difference! Love how the bathrooms turned out!
Shannon W. of WA On Monday, January 5 at 4:12 pm
That looks so much nicer! But I have to say I'm really surprised that the paint actually adheres to the PVC. Did you have to sand the pipes first? Well, it looks great and that's all that matters, right?
Darlene On Monday, January 5 at 4:12 pm
Watch out World! Here comes Ree and her faithful readers on the prowl for things to spray paint. These women are a whole new breed of graffiti artists!
I don't know why, but spray paint still screams graffiti to me!

VIVE LA DIFFERENCE! How terrific! What a great and seemingly easy and inexpensive fix!
By the way,thanks so much for sharing the info on the barndoor hardware.

(to the confused readers) go back to the "home and garden" archives and read from the beginning of the demolition. You should find your answers there.
Betty On Monday, January 5 at 4:19 pm
Definitely doesn't take much to entertain you, does it, Ree? LOL That is amazing the difference that spray paint makes on those PVC pipes.

WOW what a difference!!!!! Great job!! Thank you 6.99 spray paint!!

do you have any down lighting in there so people don't come out with way too much lipstick on? Clown company!
The mirrors a gorgeous-O too!

Wow. I've never heard of that but what a clever idea. Just blots it right out! Great great bathroom.

My cousin took all the brass knobs from the doors and spray panted them, I want to do it here, thanks for the reminder. I'd also like to try the brassy frame around my ugly mirrored closet doors. I'd love to be able to afford new ones but I'll try the paint for now.
devon On Monday, January 5 at 5:03 pm
That's amazing how much a can of spray paint can change the look of something. You could also fold some white fluffy towels in front of the pipes which would change the look from zen to "spa zen". When is the contest to give away the Lodge ?
Synamon On Monday, January 5 at 5:06 pm
nice pipes… but I wanna know: are you putting a tv in the bathroom? Is that what that box is on the counter?
bobbieh On Monday, January 5 at 5:06 pm
Brilliant. Creative. Genius.
When do I get my invite for a weekend of fun?!?!
Jenn On Monday, January 5 at 5:07 pm
Wow, what a difference that made! Gorgeous bathroom!
Connie On Monday, January 5 at 5:07 pm
Amazing what a little paint can do an the price is always a help. Looks very nice.
groovebag On Monday, January 5 at 5:10 pm
I'm all over the quick and cheap fix. When ever we have done any drywalling and mudding the Hubbie gets HYPER perfection do-it-over-an-over till it's beyond perfect. My suggestion? Hang a picture over the imperfection and no one is the wiser. He he he. But he never let's me get away with that. Sigh.
Erin G On Monday, January 5 at 5:11 pm
THANK YOU for sharing this with us!!!
I am finishing up a remodel of my tiny master bath…. we tiled the floor, the tub/shower surround and changed all the fixtures including the lights. I couldn't find a light "bar/sconce" that I liked in the right finish so I bought one in brushed nickle and sprayed it with a hammered metal finish and sealed it with a clear finish… it looks GREAT, but I think that I'd like to match the ORB finish on all the new faucets, etc… ORB spray paint… who'd have thought!
Please share what brand makes it and where you found it… YOU ROCK, ROCK, ROCK!
Erin On Monday, January 5 at 5:28 pm
Wait until you have hammered finish picture frames (that used to be the ratty old wooden frames that had been trashed by someone else)…Ah, the joys of tagging!
Theresa in Alberta On Monday, January 5 at 5:43 pm
Too easy, and so affordable! looks great to me! Now the PVC pipe I have in my laudry room in the basement rafters for the built in vaccuum needs more than just a coat of paint….Can I borrow Jerry for a couple of weeks?
annie samuels On Monday, January 5 at 5:47 pm
i love them, but that guy in the photo looks none too pleased…what's up with him?
Anna On Monday, January 5 at 5:50 pm
I would like to move into your bathroom. It looks a little bigger than my apartment. Pleeeeeeeese!
Kiran On Monday, January 5 at 5:54 pm
Looks great Ree! Wow, what a spray paint can do! It's amazing! I love the idea on open shelving – it's a breather!
Michelle On Monday, January 5 at 5:54 pm
Looks Great!
Sheryl W On Monday, January 5 at 6:00 pm
Ree- please please please share what the name of that spray paint is and where you found it. I've been looking for something like this forever now and have yet to find it.
Diane Burns On Monday, January 5 at 6:09 pm
Cool! The lodge looks really nice. I have enjoyed the remodel.
Gladys On Monday, January 5 at 6:13 pm
Looks great. Hey what do the sconces look like? You can't really tell in the picture.
Michelle O On Monday, January 5 at 6:14 pm
Great solution! I'm now trying to think if I have any use for paint that cool at my house because i just am dying to use some!!!
Mary M in GA On Monday, January 5 at 6:25 pm
That is awesome! I wish I'd thought of that — I really wanted to put a pedestal sink in my powder room, but I wouldn't do it because I didn't like the look of the exposed pipes, but a little spray paint to the rescue, and it changes the whole look! Great job!!!
maxnkatz On Monday, January 5 at 6:29 pm
I don't know if you'll have the time to answer, but I've just gotta ask–what brand of shower enclosure and where'd you get it? Pushing my luck here, expensive? Thanks! For your site, actually. And the way you write/speak–Love it!
Leslie Randle On Monday, January 5 at 6:59 pm
When you answer maxnkatz's question about the shower enclosure would you also include the sink and faucet info you used? I love them.
SusieQ On Monday, January 5 at 7:14 pm
That made a world of difference! I love it.
Andrea in FL On Monday, January 5 at 7:17 pm
OMG, what a difference!! I want to do that to my pipes that are hidden.
Laurie in VA On Monday, January 5 at 7:42 pm
Who knew? That's a big difference in a small can. I just can't get past the look on that man's face in the picture . . .He has that "what the hell is she doing" look . .hahahahaha
Joy Gross On Monday, January 5 at 7:43 pm
What a simple and great difference!
Anonymous On Monday, January 5 at 8:02 pm
Jess On Monday, January 5 at 8:15 pm
I love the new spray paints that are out now! I have transformed almost all our brass ceiling fans, door handles, and other hardware into wrought iron, bronze, or whatever else complemented our rooms during their makeovers! I love the finished product and I especially love the money I have saved!!!
Minnesotamom On Monday, January 5 at 8:31 pm
Wow, I'm amazed at how real it looks! What I don't get is how it sticks to PVC pipe…
Georgia Laura On Monday, January 5 at 8:33 pm
Looks great, Ree! Please tell us all about the galvanized countertops. I remember you saying they were "cheap." I love the look and want to do that on my cabinets!
Kate On Monday, January 5 at 8:35 pm
That turned out really well! Who woulda thunk it?
Sandra in Phx On Monday, January 5 at 8:35 pm
I didn't even realize that was possible!!!
Kara On Monday, January 5 at 8:45 pm
Well, I'll be as my grandma would say. I had no idea such a thing existed. Thanks for the tip!
Nikki H On Monday, January 5 at 8:47 pm
That looks awesome. I really love that vanity. And the faucets. And now I guess the PVC pipes. Who would have known?
Linda On Monday, January 5 at 8:55 pm
Amazing! You rock (or at least "your people" rock), PW! What a great little detail trick.
You may already know this trick, too, buy my painter spray paints the inside of the heat/AC registers (they are located high on the wall in our 1950s home) with black paint. It makes that silvery duct work disappear!
talea On Monday, January 5 at 9:12 pm
thanks for the tip. I have a couple of pieces of furniture made of metal that I LOVE but that need to be updated. And I love the oil-rubbed bronze finish.
This will do it!
emma in Ft. Worth On Monday, January 5 at 9:24 pm
What an amazing difference it makes!!! Yet another creative idea… The bathroom looks great – the worker – um – not so great… too many paint fumes???
talea On Monday, January 5 at 9:26 pm
I just did some googling and found that both American Heritage and Kilz make — or have made — oil-rubbed bronzed spray paint. And I found a bunch of tips for making the same effect with several layers of various colors.
So, yeah, Ree, I echo the posters above: could you tell us the brand?
Mimi On Monday, January 5 at 9:27 pm
#24- Mike:
Don't go bustin PW's sprayed painted bubble!
Gees- just like a man.
And besides- PW ain't goin be sweepin up the paint chips if it ALL falls off-
That's why she has all those cute kiddies and that MM.
The lodge is for company? when you have parties and holidays with family/friends. Hmmm…
(Well- they do spill over my back porch and back yard when I invite folk over too.)
You must have REAL bad company or something- like fresh fish- they stink in three days.
Like -extended stay- house guests maybe.
julie On Monday, January 5 at 9:35 pm
The guy in the photo cracks me up.
Gayle On Monday, January 5 at 9:35 pm
Mary S On Monday, January 5 at 9:39 pm
the paint actually does a good job…surprising and cost effective…here's my not so dignified question. Where does one hide the Tampax box?
talea On Monday, January 5 at 9:40 pm
After a bit more googling, I've found that American Heritage paints are made by Rustoleum.
Now, I promise, I'll return to my real life and get some real work done.
Emma On Monday, January 5 at 9:42 pm
Looks great. And the dark colour 'hides' better than the white.
Tina On Monday, January 5 at 9:47 pm
I very much like the look of the open space underneath, but oooof….how to keep toiletries, cleaning products and medicines of guests out of the reach of little people with no cabinet doors to put child safe locks on? Are there going to be medicine cabinets up high?
Karen Vandewalle On Monday, January 5 at 9:56 pm
I love the way this turned out. Have you thought of installing a matching towel bar in front of the sinks to hang your hand towels from? They might disguise the pipes too.
danielle On Monday, January 5 at 10:07 pm
works for me its a good look
S.Woodson On Monday, January 5 at 10:27 pm
Much better!! I love the new spray paints that are available, well… I don't know if they're new-new but new-ish to me.
Happy Birthday too!!!
Kami On Monday, January 5 at 10:32 pm
Looks awesome, I just replaced my kitchen hardware with oil rubbed bronze, LOVE it!!!!
Chris On Monday, January 5 at 10:39 pm
Looks good REE. You have a great eye for remodeling. Thanks for sharing.
martha On Monday, January 5 at 10:45 pm
Brilliant solution! I never heard of this kind of spray. I'm off tomorrow to my local hardware to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
Vail in MS On Monday, January 5 at 10:51 pm
Awesome Rhea. Who would've thunk it! The whole lodge looks great but those pvc pipes are close to the top of the "cool" list!
Tammy On Monday, January 5 at 10:53 pm
Yeah – the spray paint was the clincher. Beautiful job on the bathrooms. Maybe you ought of have a contest giving away a "weekend stay" at your lodge to a loyal reader! You know – to test it out, and make sure everything is up to snuff.
Kristina C. On Monday, January 5 at 11:08 pm
Every day, in every way, getting better and better . . .
Bush Babe On Monday, January 5 at 11:08 pm
That's quite amazing… not the least the price (of course in Oz dollars, it might be a bit less delightful!)…
I too am a spray paint afficiando – and not just for the smell!! I did some Christmas work (and frosted my eyebrows in the processmy eyebrows in the process).
Oh… and Ree? Have a really special day today!!
Bush Babe On Monday, January 5 at 11:10 pm
Oops. I mean tomorrow… these time zones really spin me out… it's been the 6th for 15 hours here!
Elizabeth On Monday, January 5 at 11:15 pm
How great! Such a change and just perfect.
hana On Monday, January 5 at 11:31 pm
Ree…. hmm…..I wonder if you took those earlier pictures, downloaded them in your computer, and photoshopped over the PVC pipes first so you could see how it looks?
Although I have closed shelving under my dinky sink, the open one appeals to me….then perhaps I wouldn't have upteen bottles of lotion under my sink! LOL
Dawn On Monday, January 5 at 11:41 pm
Don'cha just love spray paint?
Debbie On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:03 am
Happy Birthday, Ree! Blessings to you and your family for the coming year too.
coloradolady On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:24 am
Brilliant. Simple. Yet Brilliant.
ELM On Tuesday, January 6 at 1:02 am
I have to say that spray paint is my bestest friend. I love it for many applications that one would never think of! I moved into a home that had light fixtures that appeared to be, well… soaring u.f.o.s. I took out the green glass, spray painted the glass a textured wrought iron type spray paint… put the glass back in and now? I have a brushed silver and wrought iron light fixture! Much more attractive with my home! Wooo hooo… yea for cheap spray paint!
Sandy On Tuesday, January 6 at 1:39 am
Isn't it funny that it only takes a little thing like spray paint to get us all excited!!! Aaawww, the joys of growing older!!
It looks great and I agree why you have the open look. Very good idea! Did you ever decide on storage for the Pantry?
Paula On Tuesday, January 6 at 6:15 am
WOW. who knew? and it blends so beautifully. Thanks for letting us in on the secret.
Sheila On Tuesday, January 6 at 7:34 am
Very nice!
Cathy On Tuesday, January 6 at 7:35 am
I love the look of the painted pvc pipe.. awesome idea. Happy Birthday Ree..
bizban On Tuesday, January 6 at 7:40 am
Beautiful! What a great idea! Everything is lookin' good!
Sunshine On Tuesday, January 6 at 7:44 am
Hi Ree,
Great job! But, please tell us what is going on with your workman. Inquiring minds want to know.
As many others are expressing – A big Happy, Happy Birthday to you. I wish you all that your heart can hold this year. Blessings and joy to you.
Lora On Tuesday, January 6 at 8:17 am
What a fabulous idea! It looks terrific.
Erin J On Tuesday, January 6 at 8:51 am
I've been looking for oil rubbed bronze spraypaint to repaint the metal frame of a mirror that is hanging in my bathroom and I have found some metallic paints that came close, but nothing just right. Can you tell me what brand of paint you bought? Thanks!!
BOSSY On Tuesday, January 6 at 9:18 am
Kaitlin On Tuesday, January 6 at 9:31 am
I bought some oil rubbed spray paint a few months ago to spray paint a shower curtain rod. I could not find one in the right size for my second bathroom and figured I would give it a whirl and at the worst I would be out $10. It has worked so far.
Heather On Tuesday, January 6 at 9:54 am
It looks really good!
Question…..what do you mean the lodge isn't a full-time residence?
Barbara in Tucson On Tuesday, January 6 at 9:55 am
Do you think the oil rubbed bronz spray paint will work on door hardward? I'd love to replace all the door hardware in my house but the budget doesn't agree. Seems like this might be an option. Do you think it will hold up to everyday use?
PB Rippey/sleeless mama On Tuesday, January 6 at 9:59 am
Yeah, yeah, the spraypaint bit is brilliant, but—I am totally salivating over the double sinks!!!
Dawn On Tuesday, January 6 at 10:16 am
GREAT idea…I love little fixes like that that make such a great difference…
Teresa On Tuesday, January 6 at 11:10 am
I used the bronze spray paint for the handles on my kitchen drawers and cabinets. I have to go in them everyday and they've worked well for the past year. Great Idea!
Barbie On Tuesday, January 6 at 11:43 am
Wow – I noticed the PVC right away – the spray paint really helps! It looks awesome.
MrArboc On Tuesday, January 6 at 11:53 am
Someone has been drinking Pepsi I see…
Sara Mc On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:11 pm
Your contractor looked "really happy" to be in the picture.
Mila On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:12 pm
You should have named this post "what a difference a spray makes". Then you could've sang the tune ala Dinah Washington!
water works On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:16 pm
Great solution, but I gotta tell ya' my worries over those open shelves. I'm lovin' them, don't get me wrong. BUT, I just see myself unloading my necessaries for a week's stay…and it's THAT week. You know the one. The one that requires the pink box of lady things. Lady things my young children will question and unwrap and play with. Look! Mama, it blows up when you stick it into the tub water! 'Nuf said. My cabinet doors are stayin' on for now!
talea On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:22 pm
Another question: do you spraypaint it in place or take the pieces off to spray paint them?
Debbie from GA On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:23 pm
Wow, that really made a huge difference. Here's hoping it does last.
Jennie On Tuesday, January 6 at 12:38 pm
Thanks for that idea, we have old pipes in our bathroom sink that I really dislike. I love the look the workman is giving you like, "Sheesh! You and your camera!"
FringeGirl On Tuesday, January 6 at 1:36 pm
Love the bathroom sinks. I don't like doors on my cabinets either.
TRACY On Tuesday, January 6 at 1:58 pm
Looks AMAZING!!! Never heard of that type of paint either. I love how the faucets come out of the wall.
Perstephanie On Tuesday, January 6 at 3:41 pm
Wowza! That looks fabulous.
And oops, on the double post.

Lol i hate the Lakers i don't like the Blunder either but they will probably get swept by the Spurs. To bad Portland doesn't have a coaching staff like the Spurs do :(
Nice job Stoll maybe you can get the low Am. in the U.S. Open. Here's to hoping in 4 years she picks Oregon for her college choice. Go Ducks
Also did Jayden Mickens ever make it into Washington i heard he didn't have the grades to get into Oregon so he went to Washington.
Barner and Dat are the best 2 RB's in the Pac 12 if not the Country this list is a joke no Alonzo,Locombo"spelling,Clay,Jordon. Don't be surprised when Marcus Mariota makes first or 2nd team all Pac 12 this year. Look at his WR's Mariota has :) Sumler,Vaughn,Dungy,Stanford,Huff,Hawkins,Blackmon,Addison,Kelley now that has to the most talent Oregon has ever had at the WR spot. ;) is it September 1st yet
This poll is garbage written by 2 people i'll take the poll where Oregon is number 1 in the Country. :) oooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oregon has the best closer in the college baseball pretty sure the Ducks will be fine :)
Oregon is still number 1 in the Country in the The Collegiate Baseball newspaper poll is the oldest college baseball poll.
Lol funny stuff those people are freaks. Hell i have had sex outside but never bound and tied up while doing it.
Honesly i think Oregon might have a better road record this year then home but i could be wrong? Bring out the brooms this coming weekend time to sweep the Biebers ;)
Oregon is projected as the number 2 overall seed in ESPN Bracketology that's good anoef for me :) Regional and Super Regional here comes the Ducks WTD BEAT THOSE BEAVERS :)
Oregon should move up in the polls the 2 polls that had Oregon 5 and 6 the other poll Oregon can't move up in the Ducks are number 1 in that poll. It must suck being a Bieber fan knowing that Oregon is better then the Biebers in every single sport they both do. ;)
Wonder why Oregon is ranked number 1 and the Beavers not at all. Oregon has only been back for 3 years in Baseball and now is better then the Beavers at every single sport they both do. Can't wait till ORegon brings out the brooms and sweeps the Beavers in Sheepvallis where the men are men and the sheep are scared. Also i could give 2 craps about the Beavers and thier fans like you the Biebers are irrelevant in every single sport they do. The only sport the Biebers every could claim they were better then Oregon was baseball and guess what now they suck at Baseball too.
The poll Oregon is ranked 6th in is by 2 people here is a different poll :)
NCAA Div. I Poll (As of May 14, 2012)
Rank School (Record) Points Previous
1. Oregon (37-14) 497 6
2. Kentucky (41-11) 496 7
3. South Carolina (38-13) 495 3
4. Louisiana St. (39-13) 494 4
5. Florida (38-14) 493 5
6. Florida St. (40-10) 490 1
7. Baylor (39-11) 488 2
8. Arizona (33-15) 485 10
9. Rice (36-14) 483 8
10. North Carolina (38-13) 480 14
Yeah it will be really embarrassing if the number 1 team in the Country Oregon wins a game in Corvallis lol the Ducks won't win one game in Corvallis they will win at least 2 and probably 3 games in cowvallis.
No worries BeautifulPortland i was just really bored time to get my drink on :)
Oregon won again today 6-1 go Ducks 41-14 not bad :)
I hate the Lakers but Blake is a class act i feel sorry for him and his wife.
Chris doesn't USC play Arizona tomorrow 2? thank you will be the only time i pull for U$C in any sport unless they playing Washington.
Nice job Oregon pretty sure that 40th win will get Oregon a regional seed into the tourney but if they Ducks keep winning they should get the super regional as well. I mean the Ducks are number 1 in the Country in 1 poll :) and are listed as the number 2 overall seed in the ESPN projected seeding for the NCAA's.
What a great baseball game today from the Ducks first up 1-0 then down 3-1 for most of the game then tied then down 4-3 going into the 8th then 4-4 tie going to the 9th then a walk off double by Aarron Jones in the 9th to win the game 5-4 :) 40-14 not bad for a team only 3 years back after being gone for 27 years ;) Oregon still should be number 1 in the Country in that one poll :)

Bethlehem, Pa., March 18, 2010—Mike Green, president and founder of Collegiate Consultants, will present "One Night Can Have a Lifetime of Consequences," on Monday, March 22 at 7 p.m. in Moravian College's Johnston Hall. Green's presentation will address responsible living amid drug and alcohol abuse on college campuses. This event is free and open to the public and can be a valuable experience for both high school and college students.
A recovering alcoholic and ex-college athlete, Green has spoken at more than 2,000 campuses over the past 18 years in an effort to make drug and alcohol education an integral part of every student's life. His presentations incorporate comedy and crowd participation to pull audiences into the subject matter. Green's program on alcohol awareness doesn't employ a prohibitionist approach, but rather, educates students about a responsible way to have fun. He produced a series of video tapes which include many of the innovative, and now famous, "Think before you drink" techniques, as demonstrated during actual presentations.
Green is an alumnus of West Chester University, where he earned his Masters of Education in Health and Physical Education. In 1987, Green was chosen to give expert testimony before the House of Representatives Select Committee on Narcotics Abuse and Control and was also named as one of the "Outstanding Young Men of America." Green is developing drug and alcohol programs for New Jersey high schools and has developed programs for the Philadelphia Flyers and other sports teams. He serves as a consultant to the student affairs and athletic departments of numerous universities, including Penn State, Boston College, Brown, and Princeton.
Green's background and firsthand experiences allow him to connect with audiences and give him credibility to express the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. According to Green, this program presents a unique opportunity for current and future college students to be spoken to, rather than preached at, by someone who recognizes and understands the college lifestyle.
Moravian College is a private, coeducational, selective liberal arts college located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Tracing its founding to 1742, it is recognized as America's sixth-oldest college. Visit the Web site at www.moravian.edu.
