The concept of a female bartender, though hardly a new one, has been something of a novelty during the last decade's craft cocktail explosion – a movement dominated by men, often with mustaches.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 13The Drumm Family
After the birth of a second child with autism, Matthew and Blasia Drumm dedicated their lives to children with disabilities. Now they help manage special needs little leagues and, during the school year, Blasia works as a teacher's aid at the Franklin Learning Center for Handicapped Children.
When purchasing their home, the Drumms were unaware that the home itself and the lot that it's on were used as a dump site for trash and waste. Because of their financial hardships, they've not made any improvements to the home, which is heated by a single wood-burning stove. The Drumms hope to one day work full time from home to help other special needs families. With a vision of transforming this family's junkyard home into a fresh dwelling where the Drumms can offer in-home respite care to other special needs children, the Extreme Makeover team travel to Pennsylvania to rebuild the house in seven days.
The Drumm family's new home included custom cabinetry by KraftMaid in both the kitchen and laundry room. Birch wood was selected for the new kitchen cabinets, which were stained in Pewter with Graphite Glaze. The kitchen island was crafted from cherry wood and finished in the complementary Vintage Onyx. Weathered Iron Suitcase pulls and knobs accented the door and drawers while Antiquity glass inserts were chosen for the cabinets as well. In the laundry area, Cascade glass inserts were used in the design of the cherry wood cabinetry, which were stained in Peppercorn and completed with Brushed Pewter hardware.

Prosecute Guilty IRS Employees

Whether the Internal Revenue Service broke the law in harassing conservative political groups "is irrelevant," White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer told a reporter....

From the NY Times, "WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service official who tried to temper efforts to target conservative groups and then made the issue public will plead her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and decline to testify at a House hearing on Wednesday."
If the scandal is "made up" why did IRS official Lois Lerner plead the fifth??

Or were you referring to Afghanistan, Goosy? The war your Choomer in Chief referred to as "the right battlefield," and which he continues to prosecute in his second term? The war that has resulted in more American casualties under Obama's watch than under Bush's? Barry must have thought Afghanistan to be pretty necessary to keep that war raging into his second term. Maybe he's going to keep fighting until his critics agree he deserves that Nobel Peace Prize. LOL

Senator Biden, Oct 2002 "Saddam is dangerous. The world would be a better place without him. But the reason he poses a growing danger to the United States and its allies is that he possesses chemical and biological weapons and is seeking, with his $2 billion a year illegally skimmed from the U.N. fund for food, his Oil for Food program, for peace program, that he is seeking nuclear weapons."
Senator Biden, Sep 1998 "I also acknowledged that a policy based on sanctions does not guarantee that Saddam Hussein's weapons program will be curtailed. Ultimately, as long as Saddam Hussein is at the helm, no inspectors can guarantee that they have rooted out the entirety of Saddam Hussein's weapons program. And I said the only way to remove Saddam is a massive military effort, led by the United States."

Actually, Goosy, it was Obama's choice for Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and Obama's choice for Vice President, Joe Biden, who sold me on the Iraq war.
Senator Clinton, Oct 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security."

"...quite possibly in reaction to Obama's oft-repeated insistence that those who oppose him are, somehow, evil - and should not be tolerated."
Good grief.
Quite possibly?
Typically right wing extremist media tin foil conspiracy. Lets make something up and see if it sticks. Too bad you didn't seem so interested when a President DID sell us an unnecessary war that cost trillions and killed millions

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Police have arrested a fourth suspect in connection with the slaying of a restaurant owner earlier this year.
23-year-old Christopher Penson was arrested on Tuesday and charged with felony murder.
RELATED | Suspect arrested in O.T.'s Lounge killing
Authorities say 53-year-old Vanessa Thrasher was preparing to testify in an upcoming murder trial when she was gunned down at O.T.'s Lounge and Soul Food Grill in northwest Atlanta on Aug. 16.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said that Thrasher was a key witness in the trial of a man charged with killing one of her employees in May 2011.
Police also arrested 23-year-old Otis Ricks Jr. a day after the shooting. And Gerald Peterson, 23, was taken into custody over the weekend.
Penson is the last of four suspects to be charged in this case. No word on when he will make his first appearance.

According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, more than three million American children have hearing loss, and about 1.3 million of them younger than three years of age. More children will lose their hearing later in childhood. Hearing aids can help improve hearing and speech, especially in children with sensorineural hearing loss (hearing loss in the inner ear due to damaged hair cells or a damaged hearing nerve). Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by noise, injury, infection, certain medications, birth defects, tumors, and problems with blood circulation.
Hearing aids are electronic or battery-operated devices that can amplify and change sound. A microphone receives the sound and converts it into sound waves. The sound waves are then converted into electrical signals.
The type of hearing aid recommended for your child will depend on several factors, including his/her physical limitations, medical condition, and personal preference. There are many different types of hearing aids on the market, with companies continuously inventing newer, improved hearing aids. However, there are four basic types of hearing aids available today. Consult your child's physician for additional information on each of the following types:
In-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids
These hearing aids come in plastic cases that fit in the outer ear. Generally used for mild to severe hearing loss, ITE hearing aids can accommodate other technical hearing devices, such as the telecoil, a mechanism used to improve sound during telephone calls. However, their small size can make it difficult to make adjustments. In addition, ITE hearing aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage.
Behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids
Behind-the-ear hearing aids, as the name implies, are worn behind the ear. This type of hearing aid, which is in a case, connects to a plastic earmold inside the outer ear. These hearing aids are generally used for mild to severe hearing loss. However, poorly fitted BTE hearing aids can cause feedback, an annoying "whistling" sound, in the ear.
Canal aids
Canal aids fit directly in the ear canal and come in two styles: in-the-canal (ITC) aid and completely-in-canal (CIC) aid. Customized to fit the size and shape of the individual's ear canal, canal aids are generally used for mild to moderate hearing loss. However, because of their small size, removal and adjustment may be more difficult. In addition, canal aids can be damaged by ear wax and drainage.
Body aids
Generally reserved for profound hearing loss, or if the other types of hearing aids will not accommodate, body aids are attached to a belt or pocket and connected to the ear with a wire.
Nearly all children who have a hearing loss that may be improved with hearing aids can benefit from these devices. The type of hearing aid recommended may depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, the following:
the shape of the outer ear (deformed ears may not accommodate behind-the-ear hearing aids)
depth of depression near the ear canal (too shallow ears may not accommodate in-the-ear hearing aids)
the type and severity of hearing loss
the manual dexterity of the child to remove and insert hearing aids
the amount of wax build-up in the ear (excessive amounts of wax or moisture may prevent use of in-the-ear hearing aids)
ears that require drainage may not be able to use certain hearing aid models
Once the hearing aids have been fitted for the ears, your child should begin to gradually wear the hearing aid. Because hearing aids do not restore normal hearing, it may take time to get used to the different sounds transmitted by the device. The American Academy of Otolaryngology recommends the following when beginning to wear hearing aids:
Be patient and give your child time to get used to the hearing aid and the sound it produces.
Start in quiet surroundings and gradually build up to noisier environments.
Experiment where and when the hearing aid works best for your child.
Keep a record of any questions and concerns you have, and bring those to your child's follow-up examination.
Hearing aids need to be kept dry. Methods for cleaning hearing aids vary depending on the style and shape. Other tips for taking care of hearing aids include the following:
Keep the hearing aids away from heat.
Batteries should be replaced on a regular basis.
Avoid the use of hairspray and other hair products when the hearing aid is in place.
A medical examination is required before purchasing a hearing aid. Hearing aids can be purchased from an otolaryngologist (a physician who specializes in disorders of the ear, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck), an audiologist (a specialist who can evaluate and manage hearing and balance problems), or an independent company. Styles and prices vary greatly. Consider the following questions when buying hearing aids:
Can the hearing loss be improved with medical or surgical interventions?
Which design will work best for my child's type of hearing loss?
May my child "test" the hearing aids for a certain period of time?
How much do hearing aids cost?
Do the hearing aids have a warranty and does it cover maintenance and repairs?
Can my child's audiologist or otolaryngologist make adjustments and repairs?
Can any other assistive technological devices be used with the hearing aids?
Your child's audiologist will help select the hearing aid that is right for your child. At Children's we typically use behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids for young patients for a number of reasons, including:
*The earmold is specifically molded to the shape of your child's ear. Earmolds need to be replaced fairly often as your child's ear grows.

Ask The Expert Answers: humidity
Why does condensation occur on the inside of my windows?
Condensation on your windows can be controlled by making sure that the moisture in your home is balanced out by using ventilation. Getting this balance right can be tricky, depending on your type of heating, levels of insulation in your home, and the amount of ventilation you already have.

Is the Market Rally Over, or Is It Just Taking a Breather?
Markets hate uncertainty more than bad news, which is one reason they've swooned: No one can predict the long-term economic effects of Japan's earthquake or Middle Eastern upheaval. But technical analysis looks at the patterns deeper than the daily news, and the charts suggest a real bear ahead.

ChefShop.com: An Online Source for Specialty Foods
Store Profile
- Location: Seattle, Washington and online
- Website: chefshop.com
Store History
- Founded: 1997
- Founded by: Tim Mar and Mauny Kaseburg
- Headquarters: Seattle, Washington
Located in the Interbay area of Seattle, Washington, ChefShop.com was started in 1997 by a small group of passionate food-lovers with a very big mission: To change the way people think and feel about the foods that they eat. We were going to do that by finding the very best-tasting foods from small farmers and artisan producers from around the world -- especially from growers and craftspeople who see the connection between the way the land is maintained and the quality of the food they produce -- and make these products available to customers, wherever they live.
We've always known ChefShop as an online resource, although it's also a brick-and-mortar boutique in Seattle. Way back in the nineties, ChefShop founders Tim Mar and Mauny Kaseburg wanted to provide their customers with LOTS of information about the artisan products they were selling, which — at the time — most people weren't doing.
Their strategy translated well onto the web, and ChefShop.com has since grown into a respected online resource for specialty foods, recipes, and product information.

We have a Zimbra setup with 85 users. About 20% of these users have mailboxes with sizes over 5Gb.
Especially in those users, we noticed that almost every morning they would get an indication that Outlook was recovering the mailbox. In some cases this takes more than 20 minutes.
We did some tests and noticed that after Outlook is closed, even though there is no visual indication, the Outlook.exe process is still running, sometimes for more than one minute. If the user shuts down the computer at this point, the next time he starts there will be a mailbox recovery.
Is anyone else having this issue ? How can we solve it ?
best regards,

A former high school basketball coach is facing more charges.
Halifax County deputies say they charged Erick Williams on Monday with disseminating obscene materials to a minor under the age of 16.
Last week the former JV basketball coach at Northwest Halifax High School was arrested on three counts of indecent liberties with a student.
Keith Hoggard, a spokesman for the school district says allegations of misconduct surfaced in January and says Williams was immediately fired.
Deputies say in the latest charge Williams is accused of sending out an inappropriate picture to a minor that was discovered during their initial investigation.
The 28-year-old man's bond was set at $5,000.
Previous Story
Another high school coach in Eastern Carolina is accused of having improper contact with students. It's the second one since Wednesday.
Halifax County deputies say Erick Williams, a former basketball coach at Northwest Halifax High School, is accused of having sexual misconduct with three students at the high school.
The 28-year-old Williams is charged with three counts of indecent liberties with a student. Williams was given a $3,000 bond and has a May 2nd court date.
A news release says Williams was the basketball coach at the school when he met the students. The Sheriff's Office says Williams is no longer employed with the school system.
Keith Hoggard, a spokesman for the school district says allegations of misconduct surfaced in January and says Williams was immediately fired.
Hoggard says Williams started volunteering in the fall of last year as a junior varsity basketball coach at the high school. Williams was also a substitute teacher at Southeast High School for a short time, according to the school system.
The school system spokesman says they perofrmed a background check on Williams prior to him volunteering and his employment, and that it came back clean.
A newspaper profile says Williams pursued a Sports Management degree at East Carolina University.
On Wednesday, a football coach at Jones Senior High School was charged with soliciting a child by computer, indecent liberties with a student, and contributing to the delinquency of juvenile. Authorities say Vaughn Chance of Trenton was having inappropriate relations with three female students.

Comments about JANSPORT Air Odyssey II Backpack:
This is not the exact item that I ordered. The one that I received is the newer (most recent) model, which in my opinion is of a much lower quality than the previous one. This backpack has fewer pockets and lower quality padding than the previous model. I would like my money back or an exchange for the previous model that is pictured on the website.
Please fix this...

Spell Sword is a new arena combat platformer from FireFruitForge and Everplay Interactive. It builds upon the unique mechanics made popular by Super Crate Box, except that it takes place in a swords and sorcery kind of environment. It adapts the young new genre to a fantasy RPG setting far better than games like Muffin Knight did, in my opinion. The retro graphics and music are awesome, the gameplay is furious and addicting, and it's just generally a great game that I highly recommend. Read more at Appolicious »

It's deadline day for the Congressional super-committee charged with reducing the federal budget by $1.2 trillion, and talks are not going so well. The defense and national security budgets are going to face the majority of automatic spending cuts if the two sides can't make a deal.
Disagreements have centered on whether tax increases should form part of the budget reduction measures, with Democrats in favor of such rises but Republicans opposed.
A last-minute proposal that included some new taxes raised hopes in the final week of negotiations, but could not muster enough support. …
Republicans had also demanded cuts in entitlement programs, such as social security, Medicare and Medicaid — something that Democrats had shown willingness to permit, but only in return for tax rises on the rich that were not forthcoming from the other side.
Guess there's a reason why Congress doesn't care much for the 99-percent movement: Eleven percent of Congress is part of the 1 percent. Fifty-eight members of Congress have $9 million or more in net worth, including Kentucky's own Mitch McConnell and John Yarmuth. Congress also includes 250 millionaires, so maybe they'll listen.
Occupy Wall Street celebrated its two-month mark by organizing a "day of action," beginning with a march to the New York Stock Exchange.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson addressed Occupy Cincinnati yesterday at Piatt Park. Later in the day 15 individuals were arrested for staying in the park past its 10 p.m. closing time, the first arrests in weeks, as protesters have challenged the legality of the park closing at all. Jackson was reportedly scheduled to return to the park at noon on Wednesday to again speak with Occupy Cincinnati.
Several other municipal court judges either declined comment or said they would consider the point Stockdale makes in his letter if it is raised during the hearings.
Attorneys for the protesters said they intend to do just that. They already have asked judges to dismiss the charges on grounds the park board rules violate the free speech rights of the protesters.
They say Stockdale's letter raises another weakness in the city's case against their clients.
"Whether it's a violation of the First Amendment or an over-reach by the park board, they are clearly relevant questions," said Rob Linneman, an attorney for the protesters.
Happy Election Day! It looks like SB 5 is headed for a big defeat even though Gov. Kasich last night told a bunch of East Side Tea Partiers how cool it would be if Issue 2 passed, while a union representative told opponents of the bill that it was about to get "shoved down the throats of John Kasich and the Republicans."
The Hamilton County Administrator yesterday said "sorry homeowners, but our stadium deficit will not allow us to offer the tax credit Republicans said would make up for your part of the stadium sales tax." Commissioners Todd Portune and Chris Monzel today said they're going to include the credit even though they don't know how yet. Hopefully they can figure it out soon so they can work on adding public housing to the suburbs before the county gets sued by the Feds.
The Ohio Elections Committee dismissed a complaint against COAST for allegedly making false tweets about Issue 48, but it was only because the complaint, filed by pro-streetcar group Cincinnatians for Progress, improperly named a COAST political action as a defendant or something. Streetcar advocates say they'll refile the complaint, and COAST lawyer Chris Finney says he'll win again. ("HAHAHA!")
Youngstown Vindicator is a cool newspaper name. It reports that Ohio Democrats walked out of a vote on the new Republican redistricting map after Republicans failed to gain enough Democrat support to pass it. Lawmakers reportedly yelled at each other, too.
Cincinnati has the third-highest rate of childhood poverty in the country, and The Enquirer's Mark Curnutte tells the story of an East Price Hill family and school system struggling to keep up.
Hamilton County for the fourth straight year dipped into its rainy day fund instead of instituting major cuts or raising taxes.
National non-profit teacher training program Teach For America has offered to work in Cincinnati Public Schools, possibly as early as next year. CPS has yet to commit to the partnership, noting that there are laid-off veteran teachers in the region.
Occupy Cincinnati protesters have asked a judge to throw all charges against them, arguing that the park rules are unconstitutional which means their punishments shouldn't exist. The cases are expected to be delayed until the constitutional argument is figured out.
Two county commissioners say they want to help the county's Job and Family Services agency after an Enquirer analysis detailed massive funding, technology and staffing shortages that might have contributed to the deaths of three toddlers during the last 10 months. Republican Greg Hartmann and Democrat Todd Portune have suggested the agency use money from a reserve set aside for an expected bookkeeping penalty while they vote on a budget that will stay the same as last year.
The Cincinnati Enquirer announced its endorsements over the weekend, and four incumbents were left thinking, "What the [expletive] did I do?!?" The current councilpersons who the paper decided not to endorse are Republican Wayne Lippert, who was appointed in March, and Republicans Leslie Ghiz and Charlie Winburn, along with Democrat Cecil Thomas.
Ghiz was described as having a penchant for starting arguments that have been "personal, petty and nasty," while Winburn's "unpredictable behavior" was noted along with Thomas' problems fully grasping budget and finance issues.
Streetcar proponents have spent considerably more on their campaign than the anti-streetcar people, probably because Issue 48 is so wide-reaching it has brought out people concerned with things way more important than the streetcar such as regional planning, commuter rail and making Cincinnati not look like it totally sucks.
Also being outspent are the SB 5 supporters, who have seen support decline dramatically in recent weeks as people look around their neighborhoods and see a bunch of regular people whose rights would be taken away. And Building a Better Ohio does unethical things like this, which makes people think they are meanies.
Here's a blog about City Council candidate Chris Smitherman arguing against all the legal experts who say Issue 48 will block all rail construction through 2020.

While giant banks like Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are cutting staff, the 60-employee boutique investment bank CastleOak Securities is adding jobs. The midtown Manhattan firm has found that now is an ideal time to snap up bankers who were downsized or voluntarily walked away from Wall Street, growing its team substantially since 2006.
"We're not just hiring," said David Jones, a CastleOak co-founder and its CEO. "We're upgrading our talent."
Founded in 2006 by four investment bankers, the minority-owned firm—three of the four co-founders are African-American—now has offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, and Columbus, Ohio. Fueling its expansion, in part, has been the firm's focus on fixed-income securities.
"For the last six years, fixed-income markets have been really growing for us," Jones said. CastleOak is hiring fixed-income, equities and municipal-finance sales professionals and recently began building a municipal-bond team.
New hires have been attracted to the bank because it doesn't have layer upon layer of management, so its bankers have a closer working relationship with clients than they would at a larger bank, noted Jones. And unlike the JPMorgans and Merrills of the world, CastleOak pays its bonuses in cash, not stock that can wind up devalued.
And, of course, more than a few job applicants may not see many prospects elsewhere in the industry in the near term. "We're expecting a reduction in staff [in the next year] anywhere from 10 percent to 15 percent from what it is now," said Michael Karp, managing partner of executive search firm Options Group in Manhattan.
Talented professionals are also attracted to smaller firms like CastleOak because of opportunities for advancement, said Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio, a partner at SixFigureStart, a career coaching firm in Manhattan.
"They get to lead in a way they didn't before, because at the larger banks there were 20 other people just like them," said Thanasoulis-Cerrachio.
A partnership that CastleOak forged with investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald in 2006 has added to the young firm's credibility. CastleOak sublets space from Cantor and outsources many of its human-resources needs to the larger firm, and the association has enhanced the smaller firm's brand.
In exchange, Cantor has a financial stake in CastleOak, and that investment "has had a positive return for them," Jones said.
Nonetheless, CastleOak has experienced some growing pains. It was fined twice for regulatory "events" reported to the industry-funded regulator FINRA, both for failing to correct unmatched trades through TRACE, the Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine. The firm was fined $27,500 in July; in 2010 it was fined $12,500. Due to company policy, Jones could not comment on the issue.
Regardless, CastleOak has continued hiring aggressively, adding talent that Jones hopes will grow with the firm. "Those we hire get in on the ground floor. That doesn't happen much in finance, other than at small firms," he said.

Canepa: Chargers stadium issue turns 11
Eleven years …. And counting. Do we hear 12? Of course.
It was in 2002 when Chargers boss Dean Spanos hired attorney Mark Fabiani to play the lead role in getting a new stadium built here. Fabiani, well-paid trooper that he is, keeps trying, but his hair has grown noticeably grayer than when we first met. Guaranteed, his 11th anniversary on the job isn't one he expected to come around.
And there is no celebrating.
The initial thought was to put a new venue and housing and business development on the Qualcomm Stadium Mission Valley site. It was a grand idea that would have worked, but of course a panicky City Hall, palms sweaty over the ticket guarantee, dropped the ball and then housing went kaput. Now the Chargers actually have a sweeter lease deal than they had before.
Since then, amid unfounded rumors that the team was bolting to L.A., numerous other sites in the county have been examined and ultimately dismissed. Now, for the past couple of years, the focus has been on a downtown site in the East Village, the idea being that it would be a multipurpose venue that also could add much-needed space to the Convention Center.
The hope in Chargerville was to have enough going forward by now to put the team's proposal for a new downtown stadium on the November ballot. That obviously isn't happening in 2013. Do we hear 14?
"Both Mayor (Bob) Filner and the Chargers want the same thing, and we're waiting for a decision by the court to see if the hotel tax being used to fund the Convention Center expansion is legal or illegal," Fabiani says. "If it's illegal, then the whole Convention Center expansion goes down the drain, and we can propose a stadium/convention site in the East Village."
The new mayor seems OK with the Chargers idea that failed to get past the desk of the previous administration, and that is to sell off the city-owned Qualcomm Stadium and Valley View Casino Center (Sports Arena) sites and eventually use that money to help build a new downtown sports complex.
"We've got a good relationship with Mayor Filner's office," Fabiani says. "He is the first mayor to come out and say we should monetize the Qualcomm site and the Sports Arena site, which is great to hear. The housing market is improving. The Qualcomm site isn't making money and it's losing money, roughly $15 million a year. The city's audit says it owes $70 million in maintenance just to keep it running."
And that could be lowballing it.
If any of that maintenance money is being used, it's being pretty well hidden. If you were in the stadium last December, you know it can be a dangerous place when it rains.
"At some point, the place may become unsafe or not suitable for football," Fabiani says. "Then what do you do?"
Well, you can move, or play at Mesa College.
But things aren't exactly hopping on the Los Angeles front, where AEG, which wants to build a stadium in downtown L.A., is being sold. At least that's what we think. City of Industry? Wrapped up in bureaucratic red tape. San Antonio? Spanos once told me he couldn't see his wife wearing sequined cowgirl boots.
But know this. The NFL has been without an NFL franchise in L.A. for nearly 18 years, and making billions without the No. 2 market, clearly is in no rush to go back. The League will want everything to be perfect before returning there, and right now everything there is not perfect.
"Dean absolutely wants to stay here, to make it work," Fabiani says.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- There are 47 days until a package of spending cuts and tax hikes hit the nation. If both sides of the political spectrum fail to reach a deal averting the Fiscal Cliff, new tax hikes will hit parents especially hard. They could have a really tough time paying for child care.
Starting January 2nd, parents who used to received a $1,000 child credit per child on their taxes, will see that credit cut to $500 per child. Accountants warn that families could lose hundreds of dollars that they used to be able to deduct from income as child care expenses. These potential changes would really affect families making $15,000 to $40,000 a year, just the people who use the tax credits the most.
This year, it is estimated that American families will claim over $38 billion in total child credits. $37 billion of those would go away if the country is allowed to head over the Fiscal Cliff.

Honda Delivers 60 Civic GX Natural-gas Vehicles To New York State D.O.T.
In its continued effort to reduce air pollution, the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) recently purchased 60 Honda Civic GX dedicated natural-gas vehicles, increasing its total Civic GX fleet to 110 sedans.
"We chose the Civic GX because our operators are happy with its performance, and because we see natural gas as the cleanest, most cost-effective alternative fuel available," said Joe Darling, director of the equipment management division of the New York State Department of Transportation. The NYSDOT will use the Civic GX, the cleanest vehicle ever tested by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with an internal combustion engine, for various tasks, such as construction inspection and administrative activities.
To maximize the use of it's newly expanded fleet, the Department of Transportation also purchased 30 new 3,600 psi FuelMaker refueling systems to be used throughout the state. Previously, the NYSDOT used commercially owned compressed natural-gas (CNG) refueling stations that restricted vehicle range due to lower pressure. Adding these new refueling stations will create "clean corridors" through New York state, linking most major cities for DOT drivers.
"The Civic GX offers purchasers the advantage of being the world's cleanest running internal combustion vehicle while also providing a host of convenience features that make it a pleasure to drive," said Stephen Ellis, natural-gas vehicle sales manager for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "It strikes a perfect balance of emissions, economy, performance, comfort and value." The Civic GX meets California's new, Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standard the most stringent emissions standard in existence. In fact, it is much cleaner, producing nearly 60 percent less hydrocarbons than the new SULEV standard allows.

Diesel prices continue march to $4 per gallon
March 15, 2011
Diesel prices remained up for the 15th consecutive week, according to data from the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Following a cumulative 29.8 cent hike over the previous two weeks. Diesel prices checked in with a 3.7 cent increase to $3.908 per gallon, noted the EIA. On an annual basis, diesel prices are up 98.4 cents.
The current price per gallon is at its highest level since hitting $3.958 the week of September 26, 2008. Diesel prices have been at $3 per gallon or more for 23 straight weeks. Prior to the week of October 4, when diesel prices hit $3.00 per gallon, the price per gallon of diesel was below the $3.00 mark for 18 straight weeks.
Diesel prices and the price per barrel of oil have been increasing for many reasons, most notably due to political and civil unrest in the Middle East and North Africa, specifically in Libya in recent weeks, has resulted in oil producers in that region suspending or shuttering operations, according to media reports. This has subsequently led to tighter supplies, which is driving up oil and gas prices.
And the recent earthquake and Tsunami in Japan also has the potential to lead to further prices hikes, too, say many industry experts.
U.S. crude for April delivery slid $3.77 to $97.42 a barrel in electronic trading, according to a CNN report. Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst for the Oil Price Information Service, told CNN that the drop in oil prices as "long overdue" because the "market was anticipating every possible imperfection that could drive prices higher, and it was ignoring the various imperfections that could send prices lower."
In terms of how these prices can impact supply chain and logistics operations at a time when freight volumes are showing consistent growth, many shippers have expressed concern about the pace of these diesel increases, explaining that if prices continue to rise at their current pace, it has the potential to hinder growth and increase operating costs, which will, in turn, force them to raise rates and offset the increased prices to consumers.
And due to the economics driving the increases in global oil prices, shippers really don't have any choice in the matter, a shipper told LM.
"Shippers will have to pay to get their goods to market even as the price of fuel increases," said the shipper. "The fuel surcharge (FSC) is not necessarily an evil thing. Shippers need to [partner] with transportation and logistics services companies and realize that without an FSC these companies would not likely be able to stay in business…but shippers need to do their homework to determine what the actual costs are and what percent they should pay to carriers."

How To Reskin A Door - Sheetmetal ShowtimeWritten by on February 2, 2011 How To Reskin A Door
Bodywork is a skill some desperately want to master and others will do anything to avoid. But then again, there are phases of bodywork that do cross into the mechanical realm more so than say smearin' body filler and spraying noxious mixtures of urethane. What I'm talking about is more of the R&R end of the trade-you know, using wrenches and hammers and things. Here I thought I'd give you a quick lesson in replacing a commonly damaged (unfortunately) component that every classic pickup owner has at least two of: doorskins.
Don't get nervous, reskinning a door is actually one of the easier tasks in the autobody realm. It ranks right up there with removing and replacing a fender. Well, OK, it might be a little more involved than that-but it's nothing that a moderately experienced car guy should be terrified to try. The following images and captions (thanks to Orlando for letting me look over his shoulder) should help you get a grasp of how to tackle a job like this, and though this is an early Chevy II door assembly, the same procedures hold true for nearly all steel doors. So take a look and decide if this is a chore you may consider doing yourself. Hey, it very well may save you a bundle of cash on your next resto.

Though I've seen it done on the vehicle before, I suggest removing the door(s) from the vehicle and placing them on a sturdy work surface. Though it isn't as important during disassembly, you'll want to make sure you protect the new panel from damage during the installation phase, so position the door on the work surface with that in mind. It's also a good idea to at least remove the door glass-welding and grinding will produce hot metal that melts into glass and plastic, so removing the window glass and any trim or speaker components is also a good idea.The original skins are attached to the inner door assembly by crimped and spot-welded edges. The skins, both original and replacement, are slightly oversized so that the outside edges can be folded over and attached in that manner.The easiest and fastest way to remove the old skin is to grind the edges. The skin is folded over, crimped, and spot-welded to the inner door assembly. Grinding the edge wears away the outer skin at the fold.This image shows a portion of the bottom edge that's been ground. You can see where the skin is separated from the door. Use caution though-you don't want to grind away too much. Keep your eyes (protected with safety glasses) peeled and move on as soon as you begin to see the gap.The original skins are attached to the inner door assembly by crimped and spot-welded edges. The skins, both original and replacement, are slightly oversized so that the outside edges can be folded over and attached in that manner.Here you can see the portion of the doorskin that remains after grinding. The strips of metal will be removed after the skin has been taken off.At the top of the door there are supports spot-welded to the inner doorframe. These support the top of the skin at the window opening. They are detached by drilling out the welds.
It's worth the time to go around the perimeter of the door one more time looking for spot-welds you may have missed. The trick is removing the skin without bending or distorting the edge of the inner door.Once you're confident everything's loose, carefully lift the skin off the door assembly. Remember, the edges are going to be sharp so use caution.Using a grinder, and a light touch, clean up the edge of the inner door to remove whatever corrosion or rust there may be so that the new skin will sit flat on the edge.After cleaning up the outer edge Orlando flipped the inner door over and began removing the strips of leftover skin on the backside of the inner door edges.Some of the spot-welds popped loose with the gasket scraper wedge (see previous image), other more stubborn holdouts had to be drilled out.There were some portions of the leftover strips that Orlando pealed off using a pair of locking pliers-saving him at least a few fingertip cuts I'm sure.
Orlando uses welding clamps around the perimeter to hold the skin in position during the beginning of the reattachment process.A hammer and dolly are then used to slowly fold the skin edges over the outside edge of the door assembly. Work slowly and carefully; you don't want to damage the face of the doorskin. Once the entire perimeter of the skin has been well crimped you can then grab the MIG and add some spot-welds of your own (don't forget the upper supports in and near the window opening).

Oceans cover about 70% of the earth and support an incredible variety of life, including the world's largest mammal, the Blue Whale. The oceans are a significant source of oxygen for our planet and are instrumental in the capture and storage of carbon dioxide. Marine species provide important ecosystem services such as the provision of food, medicines, and livelihoods. They also support tourism and recreational activities around the world.
Unfortunately, the resources of the sea have been over-harvested by humans, threatening marine biodiversity. The consequences of over-fishing and habitat destruction are evident in many parts of the world and may have already damaged the marine ecosystem irreversibly. Now that the effects of over-fishing, ocean acidification and climate change are better understood, it is critical that marine species are protected to secure their survival and maintain the ecosystem services they provide.

In October, 30-year IBM veteran "Ginni" Rometty was tapped as CEO, becoming the first woman to head the century-old tech giant. In her first year as chief, she is implementing a five-year strategy to use new markets like cloud computing and business analytics software to drive $20 billion of revenue growth by 2015, a goal she says IBM is "well on track" to achieve. While exceptionally private, she became the center of the conversation this year when historic Augusta National Golf Club upheld its controversial male-only policy and didn't extend an invitation to IBM's newest chief. Rometty started at IBM in 1981 as a systems engineer and climbed to head of global sales, where she oversaw results in 170 markets around the world.

Chopping Garnish Moldings - The Hardtop Chop - Part IVWritten by on July 1, 2007 Contributors: Simon Watts Chopping Garnish Moldings-The Big Little Job No One Ever Warns You About
Chopping tops is always the big-ticket custom alteration. It makes a big statement and a big impact. However, it also makes for a whole range of headaches when it comes time for putting the whole thing back together and adding the finishing touches to the car.
You can step back from chopping a top and rightfully congratulate yourself on a job well done, but don't get too complacent-there's more to come. Much more. Just when you thought you were done, it's time for the window garnish moldings.
On this shoebox, the hardtop chop made for a simpler job of the garnish moldings. We ended up with only one opening on each side of the car, which simplifies things a bit. We're really only making one big window surround that has one section of it free to move with the top of the door. Another benefit was that because there were no longer any B-pillars, we had plenty of unused metal for which to make filler pieces. More often than not we found a piece that fit with little or no alteration.

Starting at the front, with the original door molding in place, you can see just how much material has to go. Although it looks daunting, it's all really rather straight forward.The first step was to separate the top from the bottom. Jay marked the B-pillar portion of the trim using his eyeball to line up the cut with the top edge of the door. He couldn't use a ruler with any kind of accuracy as he was trying to draw a horizontal line across a multi-planed surface.Once the marks were made, Jay started chopping. With the molding reinstalled, you can see the complicated "straight" edge at the rear. Jay made it easy on hiself and left a little extra on there so it could be trimmed to fit.To fill the hole at the back of the trim, he used a piece of discarded B-pillar as a filler. Rather than trim the filler piece to match the complicated shape of the hole, it was much easier to cut an oblong hole in the door trim to match the filler piece.Jay then moved onto the roof pieces. Thanks to the new laidback windshield, the curves of the roof and the door trim don't match so he had t use some muscle. You'd be surprised how much you can bend this piece to fit your needs.When it went about as far as it was going to go, he marked the center of the bend for a small pie cut. The roof piece was tack welded to the roof to hold it in position so it didn't move out of shape while he welded up the pie cut and finished the rest of the molding.
The piece needed to be shortened about 10 inches as the roof had moved forward in relation to its original position.As the forward end you can see how the garnish molding relates to the body where the original B-pillar was removed. The top of the pillar will eventually get capped for strength, but jay was more interested in filling the big hole in the molding where the vertical pillar piece was cut off.In another example of "waste not want not," Jay simply took the piece he trimmed off the rear of the piece and, after a little more trimming and tweaking, he used it to fill a gap.Moving up the rear roof piece, Jay held the molding up and moved it around until he found a section that matched the curve of the roof the best.He then cut it off at the back to meet the lower molding and drilled some new holes to mount it to the roof to hold it in place while he tacked it to the lower trim.Once Jay had the lower and roof pieces in place, he had to complete the puzzle by filling the gap between the front and rear top pieces where the B-pillar had once been. He had to look no further than the trusty B-pillar discards. once it was trimmed to fit, it was tack welded in place, creating one long piece.The temporary welds that were holding the front top piece to the roof were ground so the entire molding could be removed. The last job was the finesse where the top meets the bottom at the rear. A small extension was called for. Using some of the discarded material, a piece was cut and welded in place.

|Written by Bob Russell
Miserable Musical Musings
Some of you may recall (though not with much joy), I submitted an article to the Holyoke Enterprise about my experience of attending my first (and only) opera in June 2007. In the article, I stated, after several analytical paragraphs explaining "Madam Butterfly," that I would not go to another "fat lady sings" event unless they served Coors beer to the audience and the cute female singers were naked. I have kept that promise.
Always striving to improve my suave personality, I then attended my first (and only) ballet in December 2008—also documented via the Holyoke Enterprise. I once again explained, tongue-in-cheek, the nuance of "The Nutcracker Ballet," which consisted of men and women in sheer tights jumping wildly and spinning round and round on their toes. I also resolved "The Nutcracker" would be my last ballet. I have kept that promise.
So here we are: another four years have passed and it was time to go experience a musical. Well, sort of. It was a movie about a musical. Victor Hugo, in 1862, published a 1,900-page French novel entitled "Les Miserables," which, loosely translated from French to Arkansan, means "Miserable Musical." Trust me. The musical (as well as the book) offered a look at the horrid rule of French kings and their amazing indifference to life—read: they starved and enslaved the poor until they died. Why anyone would want to sing about this, I have no idea…but I am not here to defend musicals, just explain this one.
Of course, in movies, central casting is the entity responsible for finding actors that can look the part AND sing, especially if 99 percent of the two-hour musical is sung. (By the way, the last good musical I liked was "West Side Story," perhaps because it had to do with gangs and fighting, but probably because it featured the sexy and fetching Natalie Wood, and it also had lots of actual speaking and only periodic singing and dancing.) Not so in "Les Miserables," which has vocal outpourings the entire time it is on screen. I think maybe 35 words were spoken—I counted them.
Anyway, there are three main actors in "Les Miserables," none of which anyone in Hollywood knew could sing (but that never stops directors). The good guy from the novel is Jean Valjean (slur the name like you have slush in your mouth and it will sound French), a released convict who miraculously becomes a mayor and saves the day (and many people en route).
Played by Hugh Jackman, one hopes this rough, tough killer (Jackman has entrenched himself in the thriller series "X-Men" whereby Hugh is known as Wolverine, a half-man, half-wolf person who has stiletto knife blades for fingernails and slashes and gashes everyone for two hours) should be OK singing his part. In "Les Miserables," Mr. Jackman is actually a very likeable character and (who knew?) can pretty well warble in a musical. And his fingernails were trimmed nicely.
The second main actor (though her supporting part is way too little) in "Les Miserables" is the gorgeous Anne Hathaway (intriguing and sensual in "The Devil Wears Prada" and downright naked much of the time with Jake Gyllenhaal in "Love and Other Drugs"). Alas, Ms. Hathaway remains mostly clothed during "Les Miserables" and is portrayed as Fantine, a grisette (young, poor French woman) who becomes a prostitute who sells her teeth, hair and virginity in order to provide for the survival of her daughter, Cossette. Fortunately, Anne is one of those women who looks good, no matter what you do to her or what she is wearing, so I was totally mesmerized by her character.
The third main actor was where the casting department departed reality, no doubt smoking the marijuana that is now legal in Colorado (where can I get some in Holyoke?—I need to come home to visit my sister). Central casting chose (get this) a rugged man who bested tigers and chariots and dozens of Roman centurions in "Gladiator," no other than manly he-man Russell Crowe. Crowe plays police inspector Javert (again, slur your words to make the name sound French). I almost walked out, as having Crowe sing his part is like asking Arnold Schwarzenegger to don a sheer chiffon tutu and dance on his toes in "The Nutcracker." Some things just aren't meant to be.
Nonetheless, Crowe played his part well as the evil French gendarme but sings way too much until he plummets to his death by doing a half gainer off a bridge near the end of the musical (oh, did I give it away?). It would have been much better if he had died in Act I and let my sexy Anne Hathaway live through the entire musical (oh, did I give it way that she also dies?). And, go figure, even Hugh Jackman, after saving nearly every poor person in France, goes up to heaven (oh, did I give it way that he also dies?). Finally, since there were no more main characters, the movie came to a close and ended.
Okay, so I assume you think I thought "Les Miserables" sucked! Au contraire, my friends (that's French for "on the contrary"). I thoroughly enjoyed it (well, two-thirds of it, since I had to put my fingers in my ears when Russell Crowe started warbling). The set designs and some of the music are superb in the movie. Jackman and Hathaway (separately) belted out excellent versions of "I Dreamed a Dream" which Susan Boyle, the middle-aged British lady, sang to woo the judges and win "Britain's Got Talent" a few years ago—I thought I might be tearing up, but realized I just spilled some of my drink on my face.
Would I recommend "Les Miserables" for an enjoyable evening? Well, not if you are one of those men who only wants to see Crowe killing people or wild animals. But…if you are familiar with Ms. Hathaway's "credentials," then you will enjoy seeing and listening to her. Old Hugh Jackman ain't bad either. Plus, you will learn a little about the French Revolution, not that anyone really cares if the French revolted 150 years ago. Some of us find them revolting today. Viva la French Toast!
Bob Russell graduated from HHS in 1964. A retired USAF pilot and mostly retired Lockheed Martin fighter cockpit designer, Bob likes to think he can write. Fortunately, when not drowned out by a church choir, Bob only sings in the shower—much to the chagrin of his wife, Judy. He thanks the Holyoke Enterprise for holding back meaningful articles to let him demonstrate his lack of writing skills. His deepest apology goes to Mrs. Salomons, his high school English teacher, and to his nephew, Bret Miles, school superintendent.

SA softball gang together for last time
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Even though this will be Greg Garber's third stint as head coach of the South, it may be his most special one yet.
The St. Albans coach will send off Red Dragons senior pitcher Ali Haynes, his niece, and catcher Mariah Caudill at the North-South All-Star softball games today in Buffalo. There will be two seven-inning games followed by a five-inning contest beginning at 1 p.m. in the 21st annual event for high school seniors.
Haynes and Caudill have guided the SA program to a 107-19 record during their four-year stay, including the 2010 Class AAA state championship. The duo is heading to West Virginia State to continue their softball careers.
"I think that's pretty cool,'' said Garber of coaching his players in their last prep game. "I've been with them a long time going back to 7 years old. That will be special. We have a lot of games under our belts. Both of them are like my daughters.
"We've been around each other so much. It doesn't matter if it's season or out of season, we're always talking. It's sort of like a parent feels when their kid graduates and know they're going to be moving on. They're happy for them for the success they've had and excited about the future ahead, but also a little part that's sad that you're not going to be with them that much.''
Haynes and Caudill are part of a star-studded South lineup that features seven players from the Kanawha Valley. The other players from Kanawha and Putnam counties include Nicole Pierson and Linzie Reynolds of Hurricane, Alli Burdette of South Charleston, Rachel Ward of George Washington and Bekah Baldwin of Sissonville. (See Page 2B for rosters and all-time series scores.)
Haynes, Caudill, Burdette, Reynolds, Sherman's Mackenzie Smith, Scott's Allyson Johnson, Lincoln County's Morgan Hutchison, Wayne's Jessica Watts, Man's Summer Sword and Cabell Midland's Morgan Zerkle and Morgan Kelley were first-team all-state selections this past season. Pierson and Reynolds led the Redskins to their first Class AAA state championship while Watts helped Wayne to its second straight in AA.
"I like our team,'' said Garber, who surpassed 500 career wins this past season. "I think we've got the best of the best in southern West Virginia. We've got so much talent. I'd like to keep them for a few years.
"They're excited about playing, too. They all said yes. A few of them changed their vacation plans so they could play in this game. Anytime I step on the field I want to win, and all these players feel the same, too. They have that passion for softball like I do.''
Morgantown's Tara Hanson and Robert C. Byrd's Mecca Henderson, both first-team all-state selections, and Bridgeport's Tori Rovello and Gilmer County's Tiffany Young, who were second-team all-state picks, highlight the North roster, which will be coached by University's Barb Solly.
The South features 11 first-team all-state players while the North has just two.
"It's always that way every year,'' said exasperated North-South game director Darrell Moore. "You can't get any commitment from [the North players]. The coaches try and try and try to get people to commit.''

Re: "Risking it all: Why?," Citizen Telegram, Feb. 7. You know why but wanted to provoke an answer, so here goes.
A man climbs peaks all over the world. When asked why he climbs and puts himself and his family at risk, he responds "I feel like a ship at sea with no rudder when I'm not climbing or training for a climb."
Another who had to be rescued off Mount Everest at great danger to those rescuing him wrote, "The black dog of depression troubles my life and the only way to escape is to climb."
Tolstoy wrote a small story, "How much land does a man need?" The answer is, "Just one more tract."
The answer to the question seems to be that man needs a sense of purpose, be it climbing, acquiring, risking, conquering, whatever. At lunch with a friend, he seemed depressed and I asked why. He replied, "I'm not necessary any more. I have a manager running my company, a butler running my home, an accountant keeping my books and a lawyer handling my legal stuff." Towards the end of lunch he thought he'd go home to Mexico and build a new home, it would give him something to do.
If a man doesn't have a clear view of where he came from, why he is here, or where he goes from here, then life takes many routes to try to find a sense of meaning, purpose and resolving the question beyond the final heart beat.
Fortunately, there are good answers to the "why." Answers found in a world view, based on the message of the Bible.

We need your ideas and suggestions for the future use of the recently restored Cayton Ranger Station. We also want to post everyone on the Forest Service's Interpretive Plan for the Divide Creek area. The Forest Service presentation will include plans for recreation, natural resources, access, etc.
The restoration of the structure of the Cayton Ranger Station is completed. We are outfitting the inside to resemble what it was like in 1910 when Ranger Jim and his school teacher wife, Birdie, lived there and oversaw 670 square miles of forest land.
The cabin and its lore is a local treasure. The intent is to make use of it. Some of the questions include what kind of use(s), for and by whom, under what conditions of use, how to handle potential costs, how to communicate and promote the station's availability, how best to administer the use and care, etc.
We would like to enroll a steering committee to oversee the development of the next "use phase" of the station. This would be a short term effort to assist in getting things up and running.
We need people who are interested in history, particularly Divide Creek area history, with a passion to enhance and preserve history and a willingness to share part of their time and talent for a short period to give direction to this start-up phase.
A workshop is planned for 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 20, at Colorado Mountain College on Airport Road in Rifle. It will include presentations by both the Forest Service and people associated with the Cayton Ranger Station Foundation. Please RSVP by Monday, Feb. 18, to Stacey Brown at (970) 379-2259.

I prefer cream soups so I put all of the soup in my food processor. It was too thick for my taste so I added skim milk; it still lacked something until i added the low fat sour cream. Wow! What a difference that made. Lastly, I think you really have to watch how fast your soup is cooking. I don't have a very good Dutch oven and it does make a difference. I ate the soup for lunch with a multigrain roll and it was delicious and filling.

While the majority of viewers of Total Divas are female, there are still plenty of men who watch the reality television show. The proof of that is the fact that search engine queries increase tremendously whenever Nikki Bella is on the screen. A lot of these are people looking to find nude pictures of the WWE star. Unfortunately for them, none are in existence to the public. The only person that might have some of those would be her boyfriend John Cena.

Just get a good BLM map and you'll see several county roads that go north off the county roads that are the southern border of 21. There is 40-50 square miles in total to hunt public land in the southern part of the unit. That's the best by far of the 4 units you mentioned.
