Kumvana Gomani Jewelry Made From Recycled Bottles
Posted By Abigail Doan On April 11, 2009 @ 12:00 pm In Accessories and Fashion,Design,Innovation,Recycled Materials,sustainable style sundays | 4 Comments
As we transition from winter to spring here in NYC, there is no doubt that we all are looking for signs of sparkly renewal and regeneration. Our Spring Greening Contest [2] is certainly one way that we are sprucing up our abodes and the clutter in our lives by making things fresh and new again. One of the most impressive submissions we received for our DIY design contest [2] was this eco sparkly recycled plastic jewelry by Kumvana Gomani [3]. This innovative Swedish designer has found a a great way to turn recycled soda and water bottles into snowflakes and crystallized leaves that radiate green chic bling.
Nature and ice-patterns are definitely the inspiration for Kumvana Gomani [3]'s designs, but we love that she looked no further than the trash in her kitchen to find resourceful ways to green her environs and personal style. The designer cleans, cuts, and then snips the washed plastic material into tiny snow flakes and leaf shapes that are then drilled with holes for their loops, hooks, or necklace chains. It is pretty amazing that everyday plastics can be transformed into delicate looking glass. It's a greening process that looks and feels like alchemy and mindful craft magic.
At this moment, Kumvana is now running a VERY CLOSE second place in our Spring Greening Design Competition [2]. If you love her work, vote her up now! [2] Polls close Tuesday, so there are 3 days left to vote!

Right now, many state ADAPs are in a financial crisis. Twelve states are reporting restrictions to treatment access, including waiting lists, while many other states are preparing to implement restrictions in the near future. There are over 600 people on the waiting list for treatment in North Carolina alone. Severe underfunding of ADAP constitutes a public health crisis in America, not only for people living with HIV/AIDS who rely on the program for life-extending therapies, but for all Americans invested in sound health policy. The ADAP crisis is not acceptable given Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson's recent statement that "No administration in any nation has ever made fighting HIV/AIDS as high a priority as the United States under this administration".
AIDS treatment policy experts have stated that an increase of $162 million from the federal government is needed to help ease the ADAP crisis and enable states to meet the demands of those who rely on the program.
The ATAC Save ADAP Committee is an ad-hoc group of activists who want to make a difference. We know that the best way to convince Congress to act on this issue is for people to communicate directly with their own elected representatives.
That's where you come in. We encourage you to participate in this grassroots campaign by engaging in as many of the following activities as you can:
If you are interested in scheduling a district visit, but need some help, we have created a fact sheet with tips on getting started. For a copy of this fact sheet, contact Ryan Clary at 415-558-8669 x224 or email@example.com.
We are relying on you to be part of this important campaign. Without our united voices raised in action, Congress may well continue to underfund ADAP, putting thousands of lives at risk.
If you would like to make sure that you receive all of our upcoming Alerts, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call Ryan Clary at 415-558-8669 x224.

Not of This State
Missouri is a watery wonderland. We have 17 large reservoirs, totaling more than 250,000 surface acres, and about 500,000 smaller public and private lakes and ponds. In addition, approximately 17,000 miles of permanent streams and rivers and another 39,000 miles of intermittent headwater streams flow through the state.
Nonnative nuisance species pose a grave threat to these important water resources. These species arrive by migrating through open river systems or by being accidentally or intentionally released into public or private waters.
Aquatic nuisance species are defined as nonnative species that threaten the diversity or abundance of native aquatic species, the ecological stability of infected waters, or the commercial, agricultural, aquacultural or recreational activities dependent on such waters.
Even aquatic species that are native to Missouri can become aquatic nuisance species when they are moved into drainages where they do not normally live. Such "inter-basin transfers" can be just as damaging to native ecosystems as introductions of species from other continents.
Because invasive aquatic species threaten our water resources and the public recreation they offer, we have to divert large amounts of research and management funds to their prevention and control.
Controlling Aquatic Nuisance Species
People who fish in Missouri spend more than $1 billion a year on their sport. Aquatic nuisance species directly threaten this and other vital economic activity. The Missouri Department of Conservation is doing all it can to protect our state's aquatic ecosystems and the benefits they provide.
We have identified 12 aquatic nuisance species in Missouri waters and eight more that might arrive in the near future. (See "Current and Potential Threats.")
The Department's efforts to prevent, control and mitigate the effects of aquatic nuisance species in Missouri are detailed in the Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan (visit www.MissouriConservation.org/8418 to view the plan online). The plan is designed to address invasions at several different stages.
First of all, the plan calls for identifying and implementing all possible actions necessary to stop the introduction of new aquatic nuisance species from any area outside Missouri. It also develops methods to detect and to stop the spread of nuisance species into new aquatic habitats within Missouri.
In cases where introductions of aquatic nuisance species have already occurred, the plan calls for minimizing the effects of these species on native biological communities, as well as reducing any socioeconomic and public health impacts that might arise.
Potential Viral Invader
Like plant and animal invaders, invading viruses can cause problems for many of Missouri's aquatic

New Rosto film, "Lonely Bones," to premiere at the Film Festival Rotterdam on Monday, January 28, 2013.
Amsterdam -- Lonely Bones, the short film of Dutch filmmaker/artist Rosto, will have its world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Directly after Rotterdam the film can be seen in France. Lonely Bones has been selected for the official competition of the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, from 1-9 February 2013.
Lonely Bones is a surreal and sinister film featuring music and characters of music project Thee Wreckers. Lonely Bone s takes off where No Place Like Home, a short released in 2008, ended. A one-eyed man makes his escape from a hotel room, entering a hellish world where time and space intertwine.
"Lonely Bones is a dreamlike experience, rather than a film with a traditional narrative or formulas," Rosto explains. "That's why the synopsis reads: about making dreams and making sacrifice. The film is like a poem: it's not what the film is about, it's about what the film ís. Every single individual in the audience can have his or her own experience, interpretation, or conclusions. I think about this film as visual art, rather than entertainment."
Lonely Bones is the second short of a tetralogy of Wreckers-films, and also concludes the online graphic novel "Mind My Gap." A trip in its own right, Lonely Bone s is part of a creative universe, but the film can easily be enjoyed without any knowledge of other Rosto projects.
Although Rosto links characters and stories in all his work, music is what really connects his projects. "Music has always been a driving force in my work," Rosto says. "Making films is a way to manifest the music by Thee Wreckers, a now virtual band with demonic members who don't grow old and always show up. Lonely Bones is my Fantasia. While Disney's films are based on classical music, I use rock and roll. Music is the DNA of these films."
Rosto used live action and a broad palette of 2D and 3D animation. "In my last film, The Monster of Nix, I used similar mixed techniques. In Lonely Bones, even the film crew is part of the actual film. I feel this mix of real life and animation gives the film a mysterious feeling but at the same time it's more real. The loneliness of the film characters becomes more tangible. They are trapped in their story and they are being watched trying to escape."
The International Film Festival Rotterdam, where Lonely Bones premieres, brings back pleasant memories for Rosto. "In 2002, the short Anglobilly Feverson premiered in Rotterdam. After that, things went fast and worldwide recognition for my work followed. Rotterdam gave an enormous boost to my film career and I'm happy and proud to be back."
The world premiere of Lonely Bone s takes place in Rotterdam, on Monday January 28, 2013, Cinerama 1 at 22:15. Lonely Bones will be supporting the feature film Frankenstein's Army.
Lonely Bones will also be part of a screening of shorts only on Thursday the 24th of January 2012 at the Lantaarn/Venster theatre in Rotterdam.

Ms. Moon and I decided today that while Rigatoni was at nursery school that we would tackle the mess under the kitchen sink. I do this at least a couple of times a year and this year, today was the day to start. There is still a lot of stuff under the sink, we really don't have anywhere else to store it right now, and having three separate garbage containers to house really eats up the space too. Green bin garbage hangs on the left door, regular/plastic garbage hangs on the right door and the recycling box sits under the sink. See? Not a whole lotta space for a whole lotta stuff 😉
But, we got it done and feel better for having finished it and crossed it off the list of things to do. Now we have time to make cookies and stuff! Much more fun 🙂

Sewer upgrade for Holts Summit advances
Thursday, October 17, 2013
The city of Holts Summit has gone ahead with the next formal step in its sewer system update.
At its Tuesday meeting, the Board of Aldermen passed an ordinance authorizing Mayor Lucas Fitzpatrick to sign an abatement order of consent — a formal agreement to go forward with the project — with the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
"We've been approved for building our new treatment plant, and we are currently in a design (phase) of that plant," City Administrator Brian Crane said, noting the city had made plans to update their system about two years ago. "We've got an old plant ... and now the new plant is on its way."
Voters in Holts Summit approved a $7 million sewer bond issue in the April 2011 election to rebuild the city's sewage system. The new system would be able to handle 600,000 to 700,000 gallons of wastewater daily.
The bond issue carried no tax increase and will be funded by rate increases.
"It'll probably be a phased-in approach, because we will be incurring cost on the project for the next few years," Crane said. "Instead of having new rates hit (residents) all at once, it'll be on a rate schedule. We're just not really sure on the cost and where the rates need to be with growth and estimates."
The city also passed amendments to its general fund and other areas of the 2013 budget.
Crane said that with a budget at about $2.5 million, this year's budget is close to last year's and the city has been on track for its projections to date. There are no new tax increases, and the budget includes several grant-funded items including a sidewalk and gutter-renovation project.
The aldermen also had a first reading on a bill authorizing addition to a new sidewalk project with DNR funds for the Holts Summit Trail Connection Project, which would build a short trail connecting the Hibernia Station and Greenway parks. Crane said the project would cost $130,000, with $100,000 funded through grants.
It is anticipated to take about 90 days to install the trail and would potentially be completed by the end of summer 2014.

Authorities: NJ girl found in septic tank drowned
Tuesday, March 13, 2012
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (AP) — A toddler whose body was found inside a septic tank behind her home, just hours after being reported missing by her mother, died of accidental drowning, an autopsy showed Tuesday.
A preliminary investigation found "no indication of foul play or trauma," Ocean County Prosecutor Marlene Lynch Ford said.
The 2-year-old victim, identified by authorities only by the initials J.C., was reported missing by her mother, Marina Matias, shortly before 5 p.m. Monday. She had been playing in the yard with four siblings.
Search teams quickly found a 3-foot-wide hole in the yard that led to a septic tank, and the Public Works Department was called to pump water from the tank. The girl's body was found inside it around 7:30 p.m.
On Tuesday, toys were strewn about the yard of the ramshackle property, and the front door of the small house sat open. Police tape cordoned off the area where the top of the tank had been covered with dirt. The tank sat just a few feet outside the back door to the home, next to an outbuilding.
Public records listed the property's owners as Catherine and Thomas Feeks of Sunnyside, N.Y. A message left at a number listed under their name was not returned.
A man who said he has rented a room in the house from Matias and her husband said he was surprised that the opening to the septic tank was big enough for the girl, whom he called Jenny, to slip through.

Body found by deputies in Indian River County town of Gifford
GIFFORD, Fla. - UPDATE: According to the Indian River County Sheriff's Office, the Medical Examiner determined that Dominique Dawson died of a gunshot wound.
GIFFORD, Fla.--Investigators with the Indian River County Sheriff's Office are working to determine how a Gifford man, whose body was found early Wednesday morning, was killed.
Deputies say they were called to the 3800 block of 44th Place in Gifford for reports of a shooting just before 6 a.m.
When they arrived, they found the body of 27-year-old Dominique Dawson outside of a house across the street from his home.
Sgt. Eric Flowers said when deputies found the body, there were no immediate signs of trauma or a gunshot wound.
Investigators still suspect foul play. "Often times, small caliber weapons do not leave large wounds," Flowers explained.
Neighbors say Dawson typically kept to himself in the neighborhood. "Nobody deserves to die, no matter what happened," said Sholanda Hill.
Flowers says this is at least the second violent incident on the street in less than a month.
On April 30, Flowers says a man was shot in the head, but survived.
"A lot of people around here have kids, so that's bad," Hill said.
An autopsy is scheduled for Thursday morning.
The sheriff's office has not identified any suspects.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 800-273-TIPS (8477)

Brett MacConnell Named Director of Men's Basketball Operations
PRINCETON -- Mitch Henderson '98, the Franklin C. Cappon-Edward G. Green '40 head coach of Princeton men's basketball, has announced Brett MacConnell as the Director of Basketball Operations.
MacConnell succeeds Kendrick Saunders, who became an assistant coach at the U.S. Naval Academy.
"We are very excited to have Brett join our program," Henderson said. "He brings a lot of experience to the staff with his time spent as an assistant and as a director of operations. We are fortunate to have him as a part of our Princeton family."
MacConnell joins Princeton after serving in a similar role last season at Saint Peter's College, handling video breakdowns of practices, games and opponent scouting, as well as film exchange and team travel.
"I am honored to be given this opportunity by Coach Henderson to work as a part of his great staff at such a prestigious institution," MacConnell said. "I have always admired and respected the rich basketball tradition at Princeton and what this program has stood for. To be able to coach just minutes away from where I grew up just makes it even more special."
Prior to Saint Peter's, MacConnell spent the 2010-11 season as an assistant coach at Holy Family University in Philadelphia. In his duties as recruiting coordinator, MacConnell helped to bring in a recruiting class that formed the starting five of a team that doubled its win total from the previous season.
MacConnell got his start as an assistant coach at Delaware Valley College in Doylestown, Pa., where he worked for two seasons. In 2008-09, the team went 13-13 and 8-8 in conference after winning just three games the year before. It was also the program's first trip to the conference playoffs since 1969 and most wins in 22 years. MacConnell was promoted to associate head coach in his final year at Delaware Valley in 2009-10, and the following year the team won the 2011 conference championship and made the school's first NCAA Tournament appearance.
MacConnell's background also includes extensive work with the Neptune, N.J.-based Hoop Group, working as a coach and commissioner at Hoop Group Elite Camps as well as serving as a site director at many of the organization's premier AAU tournaments.
MacConnell graduated from Rutgers University in 2008 with a bachelor's degree in exercise science and sport studies. He was a manager with the men's basketball team for all four seasons, serving as head manager as a senior.

How to Install a Floating Mantel
One of the best ways to brighten a dark brick fireplace is by installing a floating mantel. This project shows you how to install one sturdy enough to hold heavy objects.
Place a drop cloth on the floor around the hearth to catch falling soot and debris. Locate and loosen the brackets that secure the old fireplace doors. Remove the fasteners and lift the old fireplace door unit out. If replacing the grate, remove that now too.
Mantles are usually 60 inches off the floor. With a tape measure, mark a line 60" above the floor. If there is a raised hearth, measure that separately to ensure an accurate distance. Measure the width of the fireplace to locate and mark the center point.
Position the 2x4 mantel brace on the line at the center point. Use a level to make sure the brace is perfectly horizontal. Mark and predrill holes to line up with the mortar joints. Attach the brace to the wall using 10-inch masonry screws.
Cut a breastplate from a 1x12 board to fit around the brace. Notch out a 3-1/3" opening on the breastplate to accept the mantel brace. Predrill holes near the top of the breastplate and then fasten it to the wall with 2-inch masonry screws.
With 45-degree miter cuts at all corners, place and attach the crown molding mantel to the brace and breastplate with 1-inch finish nails (Image 1).
Cut a bottom cap to fit tight to the bottom of the crown molding to give the mantle a solid appearance. Secure with 1-inch finish nails (Image 2).
Add any additional decorative trim to the fireplace mantel. Putty all nail holes, allow to dry and sand smooth. Prime and paint the fireplace mantle.
The new fireplace doors go in just like the old doors. Attach the brackets loosely on the floor and insert insulation around the edges. Lift the doors into place and tighten the screws by hand.

Q: How did Cyprus get here?
A: Greece happened. Cypriot banks were heavily exposed to the Greek debt crisis, by virtue of having large bond holdings of Greek debt, both public and private. The value of that debt took a nosedive, destroying their balance sheets. Cyprus Popular Bank had 3.4 billion euros ($4.4 billion) in Greek government debt, and the Bank of Cyprus 2.4 billion euros ($3.1 billion); they ended up losing 2.5 billion euros ($3.2 billion) and 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion), respectively. When Greek debt was written down as part of a deal in 2011, that wiped out a lot of the remaining value of Greek debt. Popular Bank lost 76 percent of the value of their Greek bond holdings in the deal.
Q: How did the banks deal with losing all that money?
A: They didn't, and, fearing the worst, the Cypriot government nationalized Popular Bank. The Bank of Cyprus requested assistance, too.
Q: How could the government afford that?
A: It couldn't; interest rates have spiked to 7 percent on long-term debt, which means that paying for all these bailouts is getting difficult for the Cypriot government. That's what forced Cyprus to go to the European Commission, European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund in pursuit of a bailout.
Q: How would the plan have worked?
A: Deposits of 100,000 euros ($129,290) or less would be subject to a 6.75 percent levy, and any deposits greater than that could be taxed at a rate of 9.9 percent. That would have raised 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion), or more than half of the bailout. That's better for Cypriots than raising taxes, because a large share of deposits in Cypriot banks are from foreigners, in particular Russians. In exchange for instituting the levy, the Cypriot government would have gotten 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) from the IMF and European Union institutions to fund its banks and government.
Q: What were the concerns about the plan?
A: The central bank chief of Cyprus has said that 10 percent of the country's bank deposits would flee under the plan. That would have increased the necessary scale of the bailout. It could have prompted an even larger haircut of bank deposits, creating a deadly spiral.
Q: What were the political implications?
A: Russia was firmly against any kind of bank levy. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned that Russia may be forced to "correct" its relationship with Cyprus if the levy goes into effect.
Q: What was the plan's best-case scenario?
A: Cyprus takes the hit, gets the money, recapitalizes its banks, and recovers from there. It had a fairly conservative banking sector before the crisis, and its government was running surpluses, so it doesn't have to engage in the kinds of fundamental structural reforms that appear necessary in Greece.
Q: And the worst-case scenario?
A: The fear was the levy would trigger a run on banks not just in Cyprus but in other vulnerable countries like Spain and Italy as customers worry that the EU will impose similar conditions there. That would exacerbate an already bad situation as it would increase bank shortfalls; fewer deposits mean a worse deposit-to-liability ratio. Those kinds of runs could lead to a continent-wide crisis.

The other day I was looking at a collection of 7 different values that occur in a text field. 6 of these mapped to concepts that are in DBpedia and Freebase, but the last one mapped to the first adjectival synset for the word "special". Now, playing around with the browsing interface, I think that is synset #01107719, but I'm not 100% sure.
WordNet provides a number of abstract concepts that don't exist in DBpedia -- what's the best way to find these and refer to them in Linked Data?

Pistachios are the new peanuts
Does that go for Ben & Jerry's Pistachio Pistachio Ice Cream too? Gawd, who cares. These food recalls seem to somehow make me less rather than more likely to be cautious about what I consume. There is cause for concern, sure, -- especially among the elderly, kids or those in frail health -- but not as much as it would seem from the hysteria.
While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recalled more than two million pounds of the nuts and is recommending that consumers stay away from them (all of them), the concerns seem to stem from just one company -- Setton Farms of Terra Bella, Calif. -- and no one's certain pistachios are even the problem in the first place. Call in Minnesota's Team Diarrhea!
The scare originated when Kraft detected salmonella during an analysis of Setton's roasted pistachios.
Some companies, including the Hopkins-based A & R Pistachios, are speaking out to assure consumers that their products are not affected. Margaret Houlton, vice president of the Hopkins-based A & R Pistachios, says the scare will surely impact business, even though the company's products remain perfectly safe and edible.
A & R's pistachios -- of Iranian origin -- grow in California but the business side of the small, family-run operation takes place in Hopkins (the family is originally from Fergus Falls). The company's products, sold under the family's name, Orandi, can be locally found at Kowalski's and France 44 and eaten at Broder's. Great Ciao and Merrill Foods also distribute A & R's pistachios.
An updated, specific list of the recalled products can be found on the FDA website.

Google's Chrome is the top web browser for a day
Trend to Chrome at weekends
SOFTWARE HOUSE Google's Chrome overtook Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) to become the world's number one web browser, but only for one day.
According to Statcounter web monitoring data, there is a "trend to Chrome at weekends" that narrowly drove Chrome into the top spot globally on Sunday, 18 March.
Web analytics outfit Statcounter published statistics showing that Chrome topped the polls in India, Russia and Brazil, all of which contributed to it becoming the number one browser for that day on a global basis.
"While it is only one day, this is a milestone," said Statcounter CEO Aodhan Cullen. He added that Chrome still faces a battle to unseat its main rivals including IE and Firefox in many regions. The company's monitoring shows that on a day to day basis Chrome remains in second or third place in China, the United States and Germany.
"Whether Chrome can take the lead in the browser wars in the long term remains to be seen, however the trend towards Chrome usage at weekends is undeniable. At weekends, when people are free to choose what browser to use, many of them are selecting Chrome in preference to IE," added Cullen.
Statcounter's data is based on over 15 billion page views per month, four billion from the US, to its network of more than three million web sites.
The web monitoring company stressed that it does not apply artificial weights to its worldwide data, arguing that such weighting factors are not relevant for individual country statistics. µ

Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
This book is meant for college students, and was written to serve as a text-book for courses in esthetics such as are given in the third or fourth year of the college curriculum. Its first object is to give to students a concise statement of some of the most important facts about esthetic experience and artistic activity. Its second purpose is to stimulate, among students, some interest in the experimental treatment of esthetic problems. The references at the end of the several chapters are oflFered, not as an attempt at a complete bibliography, but as suggestions for fuller reading. My obligations are, I hope, apparent in the text, but it is a pleasure to make special acknowledgments to Professor John Dewey for the general standpoint adopted in this book, also to Professor James R.Angell and Professor James H.Tufts, and to my father for help of various kinds. K.G. August, 1909.

|This is a great friction climb on solid rock. The crux is getting high enough to clip the first bolt. A fall from here results in an awkward slide/fall to an ankle busting ledge. It is definately solid 5.9 here...dont fall. It IS possible to clip the first bolt on Battle of the Bulge (use a long runner). This gives the belayer enough time to yard in rope and jump off the ledge in time to stop a falling leader from hitting the ledge. (trust me...it works!)

The Cyprus Steal Vs. Wealth Taxation
"competitive devaluation" under their belts, there is nothing that these banksters are better at than destroying the value of a currency. Along with that will be more of the same fraudulent manipulation of interest rates on Cypriot debt (via the same credit-default swap fraud that Wall Street has used so successfully on the rest of Europe). With the capacity to drive those interest rates to any number they desire they can totally freeze Cyprus out of international debt markets.With a virtually worthless currency and no access to credit to help restructure its economy, the economic devastation of Cyprus will even dwarf what these same banksters had previously inflicted upon Greece. However, this is only one half of what is truly significant about this episode. The other notable point here is this attempted bank robbery was acknowledged as an attempt at some form of "emergency taxation." In this respect, it is yet more of the same heinously unfair taxation policy which has been characteristic of Western economies for the past several decades. It targets not all Cypriots, but rather a specific demographic: those who tend to have relatively large percentages of their wealth in the form of ordinary bank deposits. This would include primarily middle-class families and wealthy widows. Obviously, poorer individuals have little if any savings while the Very Wealthy (who can most afford to pay and who have most benefited from the current system) tend to have only a tiny percentage of their wealth sitting in (domestic) bank accounts. Yet another "free ride" for the richest of the rich. If our corrupt governments are now trying to tell us they belatedly plan to genuinely (try to) "finance" our massive, fraudulent debts -- by confiscating our wealth -- then at the least such confiscation must be done in a fair manner (i.e. no more free rides for the billionaires). Regular readers should know from past commentaries that as a matter of simple arithmetic that wealth taxation is the only possible form of fair taxation in any economy. Nothing is hidden from the tax man. No more "free rides" for the billionaires.Now Cyprus will likely be driven out of the EU and then the jackals of the Western banking oligopoly will go to work. Forced to use its own currency, that currency will be manipulated to near zero. Indeed, with more than a decade of

: When Tami BEAT EVELYN'S AZZ last week on Basketball Wives may have been a TURNING POINT in the whole MISTRESS-WIFE dynamic. Last Wednesday night following the Celtics-Clippers Game there was a FIGHT by the lockerrooms.
Acording to a very CREDIBLE MediaTakeOut.com insider, the skirmish occurred when Kevin Garnett's wife Brandi came FACE TO FACE with his MISTRESS Krissy. You see Krissy, who has LONG held season tickets to the game (purchased by Kevin) was walking out of the "special exit" of the Boston arena when she came FACE-TO-FACE with Kevin's wife.
It's not clear whether Krissy and Kevin are still romantically involved, but they certainly WERE. And Brandi was NOT AT ALL happy to see Krissy at the game. The insider explained, "Brandi is usually cool, calm and collected . . . but for [Krissy] to go to the same game as her, that's just too much."
The insider claims that Brandi had to be RESTRAINED from beating Krissy's azz. The snitch explained, "Oh don't worry about IF Brandi would have won, there were enough people with her to make sure that she WOULD HAVE [won]."
Good for you Brandi, these jumpoffs are getting way to COMFORTABLE. We're glad you stood up for yourself and CHECKED HER!!!

Contains information about each of the Little House books as well as interesting information about the Ingalls family, the places where Laura lived, and the television series.
Complete list of all the Ingalls – Wilder museums and homes with contact information on how to visit.
Puzzles suitable for all ages. Parents may choose to read the entries about the Little House books to their children, as they are written on a young adult reading level.

CLUCKED – The Tale of Pickin Chicken
White takes on the chicken farming industry by looking at its world through the eyes of the chicken. Pickin is a free-range chicken with a serious problem. When a freak accident blows her away from her happy farm, she finds herself in the wicked land of the factory chicken farm. Trying to find a way home, Pickin must travel through the horrors of the poultry sheds. Along the journey, she encounters many of her kind: the abused chicks, a refuge rooster, the jailed battery hens and some busty broiler chickens. But will Pickin find a way back home before she faces the terrifying processing plant?
All the whimsy of a children's book and all the reality of how chickens are treated before they reach our dinner tables.
"Don't you ever go out and take a dust bath?" asked Pickin.
One of the hen's inmates looked up at Pickin. "A dust bath! Listen, chick, when you're doin' time like us, the only thing you get is warm water, rotten food, and treated badly."
Gregory White uses an adult themed picture book edged with humor to relate the animal cruelty horrors associated with the mass production chicken industry. Free range chicken farmers, PETA members and those of us that are just decent people with a love and respect of animals should make sure this book gets in the hands of as many Tyson buyers as humanly possible.

Staff Recommendation:
The Planning staff and Planning Commission recommend approval of the referenced amendments to the Code of Ordinances Chapters Chapter 25 Land Development Code.
On March 18, 2010, the Planning held a public hearing on these amendments requested by staff, and, by a vote of 6 to 0, recommended approval of the amendments.
The majority of these amendments are house keeping items necessary to correct omissions, revise language, and clarify or simplify the Land Development Code, which was adopted in 2004 with revisions in 2006, 2008 and 2009. The more substantive changes included adding a new section for Accessory Dwelling Unit/Guest House; Indoor recreation- Internet/sweepstakes redemption cafés; revised language on Garden walls, fences, and hedges and adding new Definitions. A new map delineating the expanded CBD and Core area is also included. An Executive Summary dated April 2010 is attached to summarize the recommended amendments.
1. Approve the recommended amendments to the Code of Ordinances Chapter 25 Land Development Code.
2. Other such action as the Commission may deem appropriate.

Tigers gaining confidence in Franklin
Saturday, September 17, 2011
There were plenty of James Franklin doubters following Missouri's less than spectacular season-opening 17-6 win against Miami (Ohio).
The Missouri offense struggled to move the ball as Franklin finished 17-of-26 for 129 yards in his first collegiate start.

Does DH/SO change diapers? Poll
I thought this was an urban legend.
I've really never met a man like that. I mean, even the assholes I know change diapers sometimes.
How are the comments after the yes answer offensive?
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself. -Anais Nin
I had to vote other - my husband does not change diapers, but it is NOT ok with me. One of the myriad of reasons he is my STBX.

^^^ because what does helpin make the baby have to do with anything. Does a father get off bein a parent if the baby I adopted or they needed to use a sperm donor. Does a mom get off having to do diapers because Ty used a surrogate/donor? Or what about step-parents.
It's not the making of the baby that is important, it is being a parent. And comments that imply a dad is it a parents (like do you let the dad babysit so you can go out, do you let the dad have a say in decisions) really run me the wrong way. And are extremely sexist.
I'm a dad. I take that job seriously. I am no more or no less a parent then my wife and refuse to be treated any differently. And I know a lot of other dads who feel just as strongly about it

That's exactly how I feel about many blogs lately. I was really sad to see how one of my favorite blogs turned into a 'enter this giveaway', 'look at my friend's blog' and 'sponsor posts' blog instead of her inspiring, personal posts that used to make up 90% of her blog.

Haha I went running yesterday morning with a friend and we had the stupid idea of going down there and up again as a workout - baaad idea. Way worse than 30 minutes of running :D And I agree, seeing a bunch of old men naked isn't what I wanna see when I go to the beach - unfortunately many Canadians don't seem to mind the cold because there were still a couple of people who took their clothes off - although it's FREEZING cold! Well, by November even the people who still wear shorts and flip flops should realize that it's winter and too cold to take off your clothes :D
