This webpage will help North Carolina residents understand assisted living, home care and adult day care costs throughout the state. It also explores the payment options and financial assistance programs available to assist in caring for the elderly, be that in residential care or for aging in place at home.
The programs outlined here are comprehensive of what is available in North Carolina but not comprehension of what is available at a national level. To search for assistance nationwide, please use our Resource Locator Tool.
Cost of Care Calculator
The cost of assisted living in North Carolina is approximately 85% of the national average. In 2015, North Carolinians pay on average $3,000 / month for assisted living care vs. the nationwide average of $3,600. However, there is a great deal of variance in this cost both within the same geographic area and within the North Carolina on the whole. In Asheville, for example, the monthly cost of assisted living ranges from approximately $1,200 to $5,200. For an individual with Alzheimer's, due to the increased need for supervision, the monthly cost goes up by approximately $1,000.
The towns and cities where the lowest cost care can be found are Burlington, Winston Salem, Greensville and Jacksonville. In these areas, residents pay as little as $2,500 / month. In the most expensive areas of the state, assisted living costs around $4,000 per month. These areas are Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Durham and Wilmington.
The more expensive areas for home care do not always align with those which are expensive for assisted living. This is the case in NC. Statewide the average hourly rate for non-medical, personal care provided in the home in 2015 is $18. Wilmington, which has higher than average assisted living costs, has lower than average home care costs. Other locations with below average hourly rates are Fayetteville, Greenville, Charlotte and Rocky Mount where is the hourly rate is close to $17. Asheville and Durham have higher than average rates closer to $20 / hr.
The cost of adult day care in NC is also well below the national average. In most parts of the state, families should expect to pay $51 / day or less. The notable exceptions to this rule are Chapel Hill, Durham, Wilmington and Charlotte where the average cost can be $10 per day higher.
The State of North Carolina has several programs, independent of their Medicaid program, which provide assistance in caring for the elderly. Although these programs may or may not provide direct financial assistance, they each can help to offset a family's overall care cost burden.
The first program is called Project C.A.R.E. (Caregiver Alternatives to Running on Empty). In this program, primary caregivers of individual's with Alzheimer's or other dementias are provided with respite care services to help them avoid caregiver burnout. The dollar value of the respite care changes from year to year. In recent years, it has fluctuated between $1,000 - $2,500 worth of assistance. More information is available here.
The Adult Care Home Assistance program offers financial help to low income North Carolina citizens who reside in adult care homes. It is unclear from the state's official description whether "adult care homes" include assisted living residences. The level of financial assistance can increase depending on the program participant's diagnosis. Those with Alzheimer's or dementia may receive a greater level of aid than others with less severe needs. Click here to learn more.
A third option are In-Home Aide Services which help with personal care and home management. Read more.
Before reading about Medicaid based assistance, it is helpful to have an understanding of what Medicaid is and some of the associated terminology. Initially Medicaid for elderly and disabled individuals only paid for the care of qualified individuals in nursing homes. After some time, it became apparent that it could be less costly to help these same individuals by providing certain services at home and in their communities. In addition to cost savings, these "home and community based services" were preferred by the persons receiving them. Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) are typically provided through Medicaid Waivers instead of regular Medicaid programs.
The predominant North Carolina Medicaid Waiver relevant to the elderly is called the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults or CAP/DA. Under CAP/DA, participants can receive personal care, homemaker services, meals and various other supports in their homes. Learn more about CAP/DA eligibility and benefits.
A second North Carolina Medicaid option is the Special Assistance In-Home Program for Adults (SA/IH). Most Medicaid programs are about paying for care, the SA/IH Program is not. Instead this program provides a cash grant to participants with the objective of helping them to cover the cost of food and / or shelter, clothing and other basic necessities. Learn more. A third option is Special Assistance / Adult Care Home which covers room and board costs in adult foster care and at licensed assisted living residences.
In addition to these three options which help Medicaid eligible individuals remain living at home or in adult care homes, NC Medicaid will of course cover the cost of nursing home care should it be medically necessary.
In addition to the state specific options that help pay for care, there are many non-profit and federal options. Use our Resource Locator Tool to find other programs that help pay for or reduce the cost of care. There are also programs that help veterans with assisted living and there are eldercare loans available in North Carolina.
As shown in the Assisted Living Costs and Home Care Costs sections above, in North Carolina there is a great deal of variety in the cost of care depending on one's location throughout the state. To assist families find the most affordable, high-quality care in their preferred geographic areas, we work with several organizations who assist families at no charge. Click here to find the most affordable care that meets your family's needs.

Yesterday, I decided to spent some time reviewing the WindowsLiveWriter plugin gallery and search for a replacer for Steve Dunn CodeFormatter plugin. I've been using this plugin since the beginning of the year but it reveal some problems composing the Html.
My friend Paulo told me about Douglas Stockwell "Paste from Visual Studio" plugin and I decided to try this one.
I download the vspaste.msi and tried to install it without success. As far as I understood (I didn't take this to depth) the .MSI was looking for a specific registry entry and since I'm using the portable version of WLW the key wasn't found.
I knew that WLW plugins don't required any special install procedure, they just need to be in the plugins folder.
I decided then to extract the .MSI content in order to be able to copy the assembly to the correct folder in my flash drive.
Searching the web I found a little tool called "Less MSIèrables" that exactly feets my needs.
It's a free tool written in C# for .NET 1.1 that allow us to open an .MSI file, explore its contents, and extract selected items.
We can also run it from the command line.
Its not perfect and I found a few possible improvements:
The good news is that author made the source code available, so anyone can extend the tool.
In conclusion, it's free, it's cool and I think I going use it many times in future, helping me to see if I really need to install a .MSI.
For those of you that prefer not to use free tools, Microsoft provides us with msiexec.exe tool. This one is available in Windows XP and higher and also allow us to extract .MSI files using the following syntax:
msiexec.exe /a vspaste.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\temp
msiexec.exe /a vspaste.msi /qb TARGETDIR=c:\temp

Street Style: The Men of San Francisco's FiDi
By 7x7 Editors on March 07, 2016 1:00 PM
When we moved 7x7 HQ from techie SoMa to downtown SF, we were immediately smitten with the boys. Or rather, the men who, in this part of town, are particularly dapper in suits, ties, and polished accessories for working grownups. We felt it our duty to catch up with these handsome lads and to share them with you in all their photogenic glory. Because really, who doesn't love a man in a suit?!
Look of the Week: Men's Leather Sandals Done Right
Okay, we fully acknowledge that man sandals (sometimes referred to as mandals) are tough to wear. That said, when done correctly -- even with simple flip-flops -- they can make a summer look that much better.

Bendigo5448 4209
On the 6th of May, 1858 the first Committee of the Bendigo Jockey Club was introduced.
Mr. J.A. Canton, who became one of Melbourne's noted Magistrates was the first club President. The first Cup at Bendigo was staged in 1868 and was then renamed the Sandhurst Cup with a horse named Old England to win the inaugural event.
In 1873, the Bendigo Jockey Club converted the track to left hand running and the grandstand which stood on the opposite side of the course was replaced by a new structure. This stand was replaced in November 1902 by the stand that still graces the Bendigo course to this day. In 1913 and through the Great War the course was occupied by troops and again during World War Two. Memorial gates were erected in 1985 in dedication to the memory of the Diggers of the Wars.
Today, the Bendigo Jockey Club is dedicated to offering the best country racing experience in Victoria. Situated approximately 150kms from Melbourne, the Bendigo course is one of the most picturesque racing venues in the state. The landscaping provides comfortable surroundings, while modern horse stalls and the large parade ring ensure ample opportunity for punters to study their favorites before race time.
The club hosts around 23 racing meetings each year and has its very own spring carnival which culminates in the popular Golden Mile race day, Mosstrooper Steeplechase, Beach Party race day and the Jayco Bendigo Cup, an important Melbourne Cup lead-up race. Tenant clubs Marong and Elmore also host cup meeting at the course throughout the year.

Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood expects to face a cagey Stoke City today.
Stoke arrive in north London on the back of a 5-1 defeat at Newcastle, and Sherwood reckons they will come to frustrate his team in the way West Brom did on Thursday.
"I can't see them coming here and being open to get beat like that again," Sherwood said of Stoke.
"We expect them to play pretty much the same (as West Brom) so hopefully we can show a little bit more quality in and around the final third and open them up."

Went to The Players Championship today. Tiger Woods almost landed it in the water hazard at the seventeenth hole. Too bad no one sneezed when it was landing!
I have always heard that it is better to create a draw or slice by changing your line up and the swing path....that being said, I do it the wrong way, by changing the position of my right hand (stronger or weaker) and it forces me to open or close the face. This is probably one reason I am not all that great :-)
I'm working on getting my shot to fade or hook when I want it to. (as opposed to slicing, which I just got over) I'm curious, is a good way to accomplish this the grip? I watched a quick video on this and was on the driving range and it seemed to work, but is there a better way?
yep play it as it lies. It works for the good too because sometimes it may hit a tree or the rake and bounced out of danger into a more favorable lie.
Thanks Jon.
Hi folks.
I've a rules-related question. I played a round of golf today, and at one stage my ball hit a rake lying next to a bunker. After hitting the rake, the ball deflected into the bunker. What are you supposed to do when something like that happens? Should I have replayed the stroke?
Anyone got a recommendation for a push cart that's not too expensive?
Wonderful Group! The game is truly timeless.
Tip of the day: get the power in your golf swing from your left hand. Not only will this improve your consistency, but you will become a more controlled ball striker.
I just joined this group, hoping I could find people who could give me advice to learn to play and enjoy golf.
Happened about a week ago but I shot my first Ace at a local course! It, definitely wasn't my best round ever but that didn't matter after that shot!

Re: Bk friendly creditors
Hwndori, a few suggestions for you. Try the shopping cart trick for express, victoria secrets, J Crew, Roamans or Buckle. All are soft pulls and you can get a positive tradeline reporting for you typically around 250. I'm not sure if you are post BK or not, but BOA is uber prime and I would stay away from primes for now. I would avoid apping unless you have a decent likelihood of getting approved. One way to do this is to know your fico scores for TU and EQ. Use whogavemecredit.com to research a lender you a considering and who they are most likely to pull. Also google "credit pulls database".
That being said, capital one and credit one are BK friendly and both have prequals with initial soft pulls but will will require a full hard pull if you are approved. CreditOne is horrible but a necessary evil and means to an end. Since you already have Capone, your have a few options left. In anycase, avoid apps unless you have a pretty solid idea what your chances are.
Starting Score: 501
Current Score: 706 EQ,TU 689,EX 686
Goal Score: 720

Ikki Minami is a junior high school student with a dream - to become the best Air Trek rider in town. It won't be easy, as he faces a lot of competition from boys and girls alike. What is Air Trek? Just the latest craze that involves taking a two-wheel inline skate and adding a motor, suspension and a shock absorber to enable the wearer to execute the wildest, wackiest, most aggressive moves you can imagine. Ikki has a lot to learn as he fights his way to the top in this wild, sexy manga from the creator of Tenjho Tenge
Ikki and his teammates are undergoing an intensive summer training camp in a secluded mountain town to prepare for their battle against Sora. But the town legends speak of a creepy temple submerged in the middle of the lake, and a dragon god that brings storms and floods. Meanwhile, foreign military forces in league with Genesis are sneaking into town, and Agito will be faced with his strongest test yet...
This volume of Air Gear includes special extras after the story

Ant's ready to Knockaert 'em out
LEICESTER captain Wes Morgan has backed Anthony Knockaert to knock out Huddersfield with yet more moments of magic.
He's got everything in his locker, he's always going to be a threat.
Knockaert returns to the scene where he scored a 35-yard effort followed by an incredible backheeled volley in October.
He also produced two fine finishes as Huddersfi eld were destroyed 6-1 at the King Power Stadium on New Year's Day. And Morgan has warned the Terriers' defenders Knockaert is primed to deliver the good again on his return to West Yorkshire in the cup.
He said: "What you see on the pitch is what you see in training. He's got everything in his locker, he's always going to be a threat.
"I sometimes feel sorry for the defender. He's a match-winner and a very special little player.
"Sometimes when it's a tight game you need someone to do something special and he can do that."
Manager Nigel Pearson picked Knockaert up from French side Guingamp.
The Foxes boss said: "Anthony's had a huge impact at Leicester and we're delighted with his progress.
"He has an awful lot to learn about English football but we're delighted with his progress.
"He's done very well to come from another country, his English has improved, he's very popular and is a bubbly character."
Mark Lillis has gone back in time to try and lift the gloom over Huddersfield. Lillis is one of three coaches put in charge of the team following the sacking of Simon Grayson.
And the former Huddersfield striker know what it takes to lift their fans after 12 league games without a win.
Lillis said: "When I played here I wasn't the best player, but I knew that if I put a shift in the fans would get behind me.
"We've challenged the players to do that. You don't go into a cup game with the notion that it doesn't matter – we want to win. A win could kick off a run."

Healthy Halloween Candy
by etriplett 12,825 views 18 items tags
Halloween healthy ideas for a healthy Halloween. Ghosts, goblins, poorly written, directed and acted movies, witches, all terrifying. But nothing is more horrifying than the start of holiday weight gain season...okay maybe that's only if you are a recovering bulimic. There's really no avoiding candy at Halloween unless you have something called "will power", so here's a list of some of the healthier candy options. "Healthier" being loosely defined in this context.
G Options B Comments & Embed
Anything "Fun Size"Anything "Fun Size" is sure to be fine as long as you can handle a little portion control.
Dark ChocolateAnything with Dark Chocolate is a lot healthier than other types of chocolate because with dark chocolate you are getting added nutrients and antioxidants. Almost every candy maker has a dark chocolate alternative on shelves so switching to dark chocolate on Halloween is a simple and cost effective way to be healthier.
Sugarless GumGum can always be found in your Halloween candy bags after a night of trick-or-treating so why not opt to give out sugarless gum? All the taste and none of the sugar.
LollipopsLollipops are great healthy alternatives because they take so long to eat it keeps you from stuffing mounds of other candies in your mouth. They also have many varieties of healthy lollipops with real fruit additives.
100 Calorie PacksEverybody loves Twinkies. How do you make Twinkies not so bad? Put them in 100 Calorie Packs.
100% Fruit ChewsReal fruit? Check. Sweet? Check. Healthy? DOUBLE CHECK.
Chewy BarA Chewy Bar might as well be considered as a candy bar because although it has healthy oats, it also has chocolate.
- First produced in 1966 and named the $100,000 bar after the popularity of game shows such as The $64,000 Question, this bar packs a lot of flavor, but not a lot of calories. It's name was changed to 100 Grand in 1985, because people who make the candy wrappers got tired of writing all those zeros.
A fun Halloween prank, tell your friend you'll give them a 100 grand if they complete a dare. Then laugh, cause that burns about 2 calories a minute. Then get scared when they punch you in the face for trying such a lame joke.
- Don't let the name fool you, this bar is not just for chunkies. It's 190 calories, no trans fat, with 11 grams of saturated fat. So not great, but still manageable.
- With only 210 calories, and 13 total grams of fat, a Heath Bar is a great option if you've been wanting to eat something that can in one bite cause you to lose a tooth. Then, there you go, you have your Halloween costume.
Interesting fact: The Heath bar has an incredibly good shelf life and was included in soldiers rations during World War II, along with cigarettes. We're so good to our troops.
- Okay this bar isn't really that healthy, but it's under 250 calories, which was my cut off point. But with 120 of the total 240 calories coming from fat, MY GOD (Charleton Heston voice). It does have no trans fat though, so you know, it's got that going for it...
- Again, not a great great choice for a healthy halloween option, but really none of these are. Mounds are 230 calories, and no trans fat, so not awful. Unless you hate coconut. Also had to include Mounds and Almond Joy, since now all of you will have the jingle stuck in your head.
- Sometimes almonds mean healthier choice, sometimes they don't. This candy bar, unfortunately has trans fat in it.
Interesting fact you can spout at parties to impress and/or annoy friends: One of the early band names for the Allman Brothers was the Allman Joys. Kinda shows, doesn't it?
- Originally developed based on a worker's suggestion for "a snack a man could have in his lunchbox for work" (i'm wondering what snacks people were eating at that time that they wouldn't fit into a lunchbox) , the Kit Kat was launched in September of 1935 in the Untied Kingdom. (I wonder if candy companies have launch parties, or if they "drop" new candy varieties. NEW CANDY BAR. DROPPIN' THIS SUMMER.) Anyways, Kit Kats have 210 calories total and no trans fat, so break off a piece of that kit kat bar, foo and give half to a friend, and you're down to 105.
- 210 calories, no trans fat. Crispy rice covered in milk chocolate. Original formula had almonds and peanuts. Krackel, I'm glad you got your act together, because there's too much going on in that candy bar, and that rice/almond/peanut combo would have gotten in the way of the chocolate.

Exercise Advice for Flappers, in Gorgeous 1920s Prints
In this beautiful little book titled La Culture Physique de la Femme Elegante, published in France in the 1920s, 12 plates offer exercises that a woman could do at home in order to stay fit. The book illustrates the kinds of fitness routines French women might have pursued in a decade when fashion demanded more form-fitting, less supportive dress. It's also gorgeously printed, with each frame allowing a peek into a colorfully decorated domestic scene.
How Documents Buried by Jewish Prisoners at Auschwitz Tell the Story of Genocide
The Scrolls of Auschwitz comprise a variety of documents written by members of the Sonderkommando or Special Squad, a group of predominantly Jewish prisoners who were forced to work in the crematoria at Auschwitz-Birkenau. (Son of Saul, which has just been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, was inspired by the Scrolls.) These writings were buried in the grounds of the crematoria in 1944. Between 1945 and 1980, eight caches of documents by five known authors were discovered, mostly by chance; few who knew their whereabouts had survived. As our recently published book, Matters of Testimony: Interpreting the Scrolls of Auschwitz, shows, the documents buried at Auschwitz provide important new insights into the Sonderkommando and into Holocaust testimony in general.
A Cheerier Vision of the Depression Years, in Hyperbright Postcards of Recreation Spots
Although we now associate the "look" of the Depression with the stark black-and-white photographs of Dorothea Lange or Walker Evans, for people who lived then, the superbright linen postcard was a staple of the visual landscape. Between 1931 and 1950, many imitators followed Chicago's Curt Teich & Company, the inventor of the printing process that made the linen postcard possible, into the marketplace. American souvenir shops and drugstores filled with racks of the intensely colored cardstock rectangles, often sold for a penny apiece.
How One Company Designed the Bookshelves that Made America's Biggest Libraries Possible
Before the early 20th century, public libraries typically used wooden bookcases with fixed shelves to house their volumes. In the 1910s, new public literacy initiatives like Andrew Carnegie's library-building projects, as well as institutional expansions at the Library of Congress and many universities, drove the need for a different kind of library shelf. The new wave of libraries—bigger and more comprehensive than their predecessors—needed bookshelves that could accommodate their rapidly growing collections of books. The New York Public Library, for example, installed 75 miles of new bookshelves in 1910 in preparation of its grand opening the next year. And the shelves from earlier decades simply weren't going to cut it.
How an 1830s Children's Magazine Taught Hard Truths About Slavery
From 1836 to 1839, the American Anti-Slavery Society published The Slave's Friend, a juvenile periodical edited by abolitionist Lewis Tappan. Each issue, specially sized to fit small hands, was 16 pages in length and featured a mix of stories, news items, and poems meant to gently but firmly tell white children about the evils of slavery. The New York Public Library's digital collection offers a small collection of scans of the magazine's 1837 issues.
Drunkard, Merryboy, Younker. Some 17th-Century Names for Dogs.
Recently, historian John Reeks shared this amusing list of 17th-century hunting dog names on Twitter. The list, he said over email, came from a 1686 book by Nicholas Cox, The Gentleman's Recreation in Four Parts, which is available digitally via Early English Books Online.
Listen to Studs Terkel Interview Gloria Steinem on the 10th Anniversary of Ms. Magazine
Ten years into the life of Ms. magazine, Gloria Steinem sat for this interview with Studs Terkel at the radio station WFMT in Chicago. The conversation, recorded in 1982, offers a look at the status of American second-wave feminism in the first few years of the Reagan administration.
Amelia Earhart's Cautiously Optimistic 1933 Advice to an Aspiring Female Pilot
In this 1933 letter, Amelia Earhart took time to advise 13-year-old aviation enthusiast June Pierson of Detroit on strategies for successes in the nascent industry. The letter, which has been in a private collection since it was sent, is now up for sale through Philadelphia's Raab Collection.
A Beautiful, Escapist Map of "Fairyland," Published in Britain at the End of World War I
Bernard Sleigh's 1918 map of a place he called "Fairyland" mashes up dozens of stories to make a comprehensive geography of make-believe: Rapunzel's tower, cheek by jowl with Belle's palace from "Beauty and the Beast"; Humpty Dumpty on a roof, overlooking Red Riding Hood's house; Ulysses' ship, sailing past Goblin Land.
Gently Posed Photos of Everyday Life in Late-19th-Century Rural Japan
The J. Paul Getty Museum has digitized an album called Japanese Trades, which contains a set of these souvenir photos by Suzuki Shinichi, captioned in English by an unknown hand. The images date to between 1873 and 1883, and represent Japanese villagers going about their daily lives: selling rat poison, practicing archery, playing with their children, regarding the approach of a dentist with grim apprehension.

Atlanta, GA (AP) - A newly elected commissioner will remove murals
depicting an idealized version of slavery from the lobby of
Georgia's Agriculture Department.
Republican Gary Black said he does not like the murals and will
send those he considers most objectionable to the archives when he
takes office next month. Black said the department can do a better
job showing modern farming.
He will also take down a mural showing partially naked American
Indians. Paintings of an early agriculture laboratory scene and a
market may be displayed elsewhere in the Atlanta building.
The paintings were finished by the late George Beattie in 1956.
His friend, sculptor George Beasley, said the paintings should
stay. Beasley said the works are not historically accurate, but
they reflect a painter who looked for the positive.

After Devs' Hot Streak, Lemaire Re-Retires
Jacques Lemaire is going back into retirement. The Hall of Famer announced after the Devils' 3-2 season-ending win over the Bruins on Sunday that he is bringing his coaching career to a close again.
Lemaire came out of retirement before Christmas when rookie coach John MacLean was fired as the Devils languished at the bottom of the standings, and he led them on a tear toward playoff contention that fell short.
Lemaire had retired after last season before going back behind the bench.

$11 Shop Light
2 Attachment(s)
My Shop Light new color reflectors. Since the HD DP shop light is 2x better then the White paint/Steel Paint shop light I went ahead and got myself a can of spray paint to spray the inside of one of my old shop light from walmart.
Light is still being 24hr dry, rub my hand on the paint and kinda got some paint stain on my hand after a 3 hrs of drying, hopefully this doesn't go on and hope the paint dry dry.
I do see a HUGE change on the brightness, and reflectors show more bulb then the white paint. The after reflectors should be better (finger cross).
$11 for the shop light, $4 for the paint total of $15 over a $35 HD DP shoplight.
I'm thinking of Sealing the paint from future damage from like scratch and stuff. Any idea what to do?
hard to say but go to an auto shop like autozone and pick up some engine clear coat that can handle heat.... just in cause the light is pushing to much heat that it wont melt the paint and make a mess if not fall into your tank... just my option...
I used something like that paint for T-12 and T-8 bulbs with no problems, but the ballast was remote, not part of the fixture.
2 t8 bulb shouldn't give off more than 60-80f. Heat shouldn't be a problem. I'm more worry about water damage the paint or dripping back into the tank.
After 24 hr, rubbing lighty on the paint will smear off paint onto your finger etc.
I should of have sand the white paint off and prime it first.
Is it particularly cold or high humidity in your area? Paint should not take that long to dry.
Maybe you should sand it down now, and then prime and paint it again.
Good idea. I'm wondering if Krylon Chrome may have been a better reflection?

A productive day?
Sunday, March 17, 2013
The past few months have been a large transition in my house. It's been a good transition, but there have still been many challenges. I have become responsible for taking care of many things that I don't really know how to do. I learned how to put a plow blade on a Polaris Ranger and plow 1,000 of private road and driveway. I've learned how to paint walls, change furnace filters, fix sinks, change water filter units. I'm going to have to learn how to open and maintain our pool, then close it at the end of the season. I've never used the lawn mower but I'm going to have to learn how to use a broken and rigged mower (that someone else ruined).
I don't mind doing these things mostly. However, I'm exhausted. All of this extra work has made my back hurt even worse than before. Plowing or driving the Ranger to take the garbage to the dumpster (about 500 feet) just cause my pain levels to sky rocket. Today I had to completely clean a 3 car garage that hasn't been cleaned in months. The dogs have been tracking dirt in and I'm tired of cleaning the house just for them to track more in from the garage. It took more than 3 hours and a trip to the dumpster, which is now unfortunately full. Garbage day isn't until Thursday and we have diapers that get thrown out every day. Not sure how that's going to work right now.
I always feel productive when I manage to accomplish something like cleaning the garage. Except that I'm also feeling overwhelmed. I have 3 jobs and more responsibilities than I like to think about. Today instead of doing homework I cleaned the garage, and now I'm too tired to think through the math homework that I need to get done. What does everyone do? How do you balance all of your responsibilities with what needs to get done? I'm made attempts to prioritize and am dealing with the things that need to be done most urgently. I know that I'm not the only person with too many things to do. I'm just ready for a break.
My brother was supposed to come this week to help me, but he's decided he's not going to come. My friend and her husband (who's pretty handy) have agreed to help me with things since I baby-sit their kids for free. We're bartering since we don't have much money, but we can help each other with things that we're good at. I'm good with that, but they have a lot to do too, so they're not always reliable help.
I'm almost at the end of a steroid burst which usually makes me feel amazing, but this time I just feel exhausted and overwhelmed. But I still managed to get quite a bit done today. I hope that counts for something.

The Puppet Masters Summary
Home > Movies > T > The Puppet Masters > Summary
When a local television station reports that something strange has landed in the small town of Abrose, Iowa, the government's covert Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) is called to investigate. Andrew Nivens, his son Sam and NASA scientist Mary Sefton are the team who make the frightening discovery: an alien parasite creature so insidious it attaches to the backs of human beings and sends piercing tendrils to the brains of its hosts, absorbing all their knowledge and memory--controlling their minds and feeding on the victim's consciousness. Against impossible odds Nivens, Sam and Mary must find a way to eliminate the aliens who seem unstoppable--without killing the innocent human hosts.

2006 Toyota Sienna Reviews
2006 Toyota Sienna Reviews and Owner Comments

2006 Toyota Sienna (4 Reviews)
I am extremely disappointed in our 2005 Sienna XLE AWD. Once it reached 100K everything started falling apart. We had to replace both sliding door mechanisms long time ago. It's nice that Toyota decided to re-imburse the sliding door expenses - apparently too many people had these issues. Now, check engine light is on - catalytic converter died. And before that the check engine light was on - Oxygen sensor died. Transmission leaking, front differential issues - by now I had to pay $6,000 in all repairs, thinking that I will try to squeeze another 50K out of this car. I am not sure anymore... And yes, we did all regular maintenance, and all the recommended replacements (like timing belt).
I have 153,000 on my sienna i purchased in 2007. Recently the locks are having issues and the cable assembly on the automatic door is not funtioning half the time. I have a good friend same year same vehicle and same problem door. Beyond Rusting in the front windshield area and on the wheel well, the body is in excellent shape. Mechanically it is sound. I have bearings potentially out on the front wheel which has a minor grinding noise, but no major issue at this time. The sliding door is the one issue Toyota is aware of, but will not cover.
In Jan 2006 I bought the 2006 Sienna in FL. It has been in for every scheduled maintenance from day one and the only thing we have had to do it replace the tires. We took the van in for the 65,000 mile service July 10. Everything was A-ok. We left for our TN vacation Aug 1st. On day 4 of our vacation we cranked the van to NO A/C. After driving 1.5 hrs to the only Toyota dealer around we were told for the low price of 2 GRAND we could get a new air compressor. He said the compressors are made in Pakistan and he was surprised it lasted 4 yrs. He said it should be under warranty at our dealership but no his at his a different state and they don't transfer. I have called my dealership for 2 days and only get sent to voice mail. Only thing I know is Toyota's are no longer made to last & I sure won't be buying another one.
After 4 years things started going. The A/C is intermitent. The doors locks won't work with the door remotes. The front doors extenders broke. Just a bunch of things like that.

When was the last time you changed you passwords? Months? Years? Never? If you answered yes to any of these questions, now's the time to change your passwords and protect your personal information.
Changing your password is even more critical if your password is "123456."
Why? Splash Data ranked "123456" as the most popular password of 2013. Rounding out the top 10: password, 12345678, qwerty, abc123, 123456789, 111111, 1234567, and Iloveyou.
Experts recommend changing passwords at least every six months with every three months being the gold standard. There are several reasons for this. First, passwords are often stolen without our knowledge and second, stolen passwords often aren't used immediately.
Instead, they're collected, sold to organized crime, rebundled and resold, and often left untouched for long periods of time. Even if you're not aware your password was stolen, if you're in the habit of changing it periodically, there's a good chance you will have changed it before a thief has an opportunity to use it.
Changing your password is not difficult. Neither is changing your weak password (12345) into a strong password with a mixture of numbers, uppercase letters, lower case letters and symbols.
Create a password that resonates with you. A common suggestion is to take a sentence or phrase that you know well, from a song or book you enjoy. For example, this sentence from Arnold Lobel's "Frog and Toad" series of children's books: "Frog and Toad agreed: it was a perfect day for a swim." Take the first letter of each word and you get FaTa:iwapdfas. Need to throw in a numeral? Pick your favorite and insert it where it makes sense for you.
Do you need to have a separate password for all of your online accounts? Opinions differ. Some experts say if you have one strong password – seven or eight characters with a mix of letters, numerals and symbols – it should be good enough. Others say that's foolhardy and that you should have different passwords for all of your accounts. Use your best judgment when considering how many passwords to create and how you will keep track if you have multiple passwords.
Experts recommend to not write passwords down- not even in our own homes- for fear they will be stolen. Identity theft, many times, is done by someone we know. Bottom line, make sure your passwords are strong and memorable and remember to change them often.

I slo-mo'd it. Rider in yellow got his right side of bars behind rider in red's bars; made contact, rider in red slowed up a bit, pushing rider in yellow's bars into a quick right jerk he couldn't recover / prevent.
After all these years, I find myself sticking out my elbows like curb feelers whenever things get tight. And avoiding bar to bar contact.
"have fun and be kind"
- an internet post
It looks like the rider on the left was loosely following the rider in front of him. When the rider in front moved to the right, the rider tried to force his way over. When the rider on the left touched, the rider to his right nudged with his elbow twice. The 2nd time moved the rider's arm slightly aft. Counter-steering cause the bike to go down.
Moral of the story:
Protect yourself if you're if you're attempting to physically force someone off a wheel/
or simply drop back slightly and move into the opening without crashing (preferred method).
But it's pretty hard to tell for certain what happened based on the video, so there's not much sense in analyzing it to death.
The Honest Bicycle Program - Heady talk about bikes, bike racing, bike racers and bike riding. standarddouble.com/whbp
Follow up question ... Say there is a group of 3-4 off the front with a reasonable gap. You bridge across solo and are hurting. What is the etiquette rule for skipping a couple of pulls to recover well enough to be a productive member of the break?
Inexperienced racers ***** about etiquette violations because they think etiquette is important and they want everyone to be polite. Experienced racers ***** about etiquette violations because it's a good way to browbeat an inexperienced racer into working too hard in the break.
Seriously, if you skip a couple pulls to recover and then start doing a normal rotation, you're unlikely to get any stick. Especially since if you can bridge more than about a 10 second gap solo, you're likely very strong and will be a big help to that break.
The Honest Bicycle Program - Heady talk about bikes, bike racing, bike racers and bike riding. standarddouble.com/whbp
Etiquette is for those who think it is a training ride and everyone needs to pull the same amount at the same pace. For every pull you miss expect a heap of crap from someone in the group. But in general no one cares and might not even notice your first missed pull ... make sure you are still breathing hard. Then on the second missed pull you are likely to get someone to say something to you to encourage you, after that it can get nasty. Especially if you are on the big team and they are a bunch of solo riders.
Overall for me it comes down to how much do I want it to succeed and how much can I offer at their pace. They are not going to be happy with anyone sitting on if they were working well before you go there. And they will likely remember it for the next race, so be prepared to have people not work with you in race two if you screwed up their break in race one.
Me, I love to be the jerk and often I lack the fitness to be in the break in the first place and just want a sprint. so I slack off as much as possible, often killing the break and pissing people off. Then wait for the sprint or hope a teammate joins so that I can kill myself and not have to worry about sprinting. To me, my teammates matter much more than the riders in the break, I am just using them to improve my odds of winning. I could care less about their odds of winning ... its a race. But people will remember, so make sure you buy them a beer after the race if you screwed up their break, then they will love you and not care.
In my scenario, the teams were more or less limited to as many as two guys. In the break were two of the GC leaders for the stage race and the third was another strong guy. The break was about 12 seconds and I closed it to like 9 by jumping hard from about 5th wheel to not bring anyone up with me. When I was my closest to connecting, I was pretty fatigued, but was thinking a) will this stay away and b) if I connect will I be able to hang on? I convinced myself to regroup. That was a mistake as they stayed away to finish 1, 2, 3. I think if I sold out I could have made the connection, but would have had to sit on for a couple of pulls before doing any work. With that, once recovered, I would have been able to contribute and not just sit in. I'll remember for next time. Worst case is I connect, and then fall back off.
So for me the answer to the original question is: "ride with more experienced racers who will help you figure it out".
As a ball-sport lifer, I will admit to having strong legs but not a strong Race IQ.

Politics in Historical Perspective
IF HISTORY HAS LAWS, the first is that it is usually unpredictable. Who in the 1950s anticipated the upheavals of the 1960s? Or who in 1970 clearly projected the conservative religious resurgences of the next decade? So when we look at the religious New Right in America today we cannot say whether it marks the dawn of a new spiritual era, a phase in recurrent cycles of social and spiritual anxiety, or the last gasp of an old order. All we can agree on, perhaps, is that theories of secularization that predicted correlations of scientific-technological advance and spiritual decline are in deep trouble.
Such theories themselves combined a violation of history's first law with the biases of secularist scholars. In America such prejudice has been directed particularly against revivalist evangelicalism. During most of this century scholars had difficulty taking this tradition seriously and integrating it into their understandings of the American past. Theory and wish converged to suggest that traditionalist Protestantism would wither in the bright sun of modern culture. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, secularist intellectuals were locked in a bitter struggle to free themselves from

An app for 'good' — BYUtv technology aimed at furthering network's mission
BYUtv technology aimed at furthering network's mission
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
PROVO — See the good, do good, be good.
Whether it's a classic sporting event, a devotional with a general authority or family-oriented content, BYU digital media hopes its new BYUtv mobile application will influence viewers to live more wholesome lives.
"Hopefully, if you see the good and do good, you will be good, and people will be better off for it," said Ryan Holmes, director of digital media at BYU. "We want to engage people in good principles."
Holmes manages the team of full-time employees and students that developed BYUtv's new app, launched July 6. This new application was created primarily to distribute values-based programming to a wide audience, Mormon or otherwise, using popular technology.
The BYUtv application is free, requires iOS 4.3 or later and is compatible with multiple devices, including iPad, iPad2, iPhone
3GS, iPhone 4 and iPod Touch. BYUtv is working on a web app (a mobile version of the website) for Android and other mobile devices.
Axis41 and Blink Software Solutions, a couple of design firms in Salt Lake City, helped BYUtv with the app and other projects.
The app is evidence that BYUtv has come a long way in a decade.
The first 10 years of BYUtv's existence carried the tagline "Keeping You Connected," and targeted alumni and Latter-day Saints. Content included religious programming, devotionals, forums and LDS general conference.
"Basically, the Mormon channel," Holmes said.
Then a series of miracles occurred. BYUtv quietly grew from less than a million households to 60 million U.S. homes through DirecTV, Dish Network and nearly 600 cable systems nationwide. In 2007, BYUtv launched an international station in Spanish and Portuguese that serves Latin America. Add to the list the release of BYU radio on Sirius XM. BYU and LDS Church administrators realized they had a tremendous asset in BYUtv and it was being under-utilized, Holmes said. That's when the decision was made to shift focus from "Keeping You Connected" to a new vision, "See the Good in the World."
"We have to use these incredible technologies to fulfill our charge and mission of helping our audiences to see and hear the good in the world like never before," said Derek Marquis, managing director of BYU Broadcasting. "We believe the future of our industry really is with digital media."
Work on the BYUtv app commenced about a year ago when Holmes came to BYU from a video game development company.
He was charged with helping to build a digital distribution platform that was state-of-the-art. "We had been streaming video online for a long time and wanted to take it to the next level," Holmes said.
Because resources were limited, emphasis was placed on developing applications for iPads, iPhones and iPad touch. "iOS was kind of a no-brainer. It was a huge segment of the market," Holmes said.
David Pratt, a senior architect at BYUtv, loves the application for its on-demand football feature. "It's cool to have that library with you wherever you are," he said.
In addition to on-demand football and basketball games and live television, BYUtv features family-friendly programming with shows such as "The Food Nanny," a reality show that helps bring families back to dinner; "Chef Brad," a source for healthy eating; "The Generations Project," a reality series that helps uncover hidden identities in family history; and "The Story Trek," a show where reporter Todd Hansen conducts random, door-to-door interviews to reveal how interesting lives of ordinary people are. Also accessible are hours of devotionals, forums and biographies, along with other university and family programming.

Did I post a stupud question, or is this just one of those little problems with no software solution? I know we get spoiled with all the things that are out there to automate tasks and make our lives "better".
First of all, all the songs I am trying to tag are either from my CD collection, or purchased from iTunes. I'm not trying to fix stolen tracks.
I tried searching Google, gut most things seem to assume there is a tag that just needs editing. I tried using WMP 11, but every time I try right clicking to Find Album Info, it comes back with Unknown Artist/Album. Isn't there some kind of digital signature in tracks that are identifieable, like EXIF data in a photo, that a program could find? 11 CDs worth of tracks is way more manual track editing than I really have time for, and the text Play List I saved from iTunes appeares as a jumbled mess, with track names, albums, bit rate, dates, etc, all mixed up.
I guess if there is no other way but to listen to a clip of every song, I can. Uh!
I made a large playlist in iTunes for my nephew and burned a DVD for him. Problem is he doesn't have, and won't download iTunes (go figure!) and is having trouble playing quite a few of the tracks because they're not mp3s. I deleted the playlist I made for him, so I don't have any way of just re-selecting all the songs out of my music library.
I did burn 11 cds with all the songs, and can convert them to mp3s, but can't figure out how to tag them all. I'm not real motivated to sit down and listen to a clip of every song and tag them manually. I used WMP 10 to rip/convert one CDs worth and that went fine, except for the missing tags.
What can I use that will batch rip, convert, and tag 11 CDs worth of untagged iTunes songs so I can re-burn him another DVD, but with all songs in mp3 format? BTW, they came from my iTunes, which came from my CD collection.
