Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barbie The canvas print is stunning on the wall! This canvas print looks amazing above the fireplace. Ilove the colors! April 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ajAlmond Very pretty painting The living room walls of my apartment are red, and sadly, my landlord does not want them painted another color. I initially decorated the largest wall space with two black and white photograph-posters, but it did nothing for the wall. This picture, with its reds, yellows and blues is ideal, and the city-scape feel of the subject keeps it contemporary. I've gotten several compliments on it from guests. November 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by EBM1107 Perfect addition to my office! I purchased this painting for my office. It is gorgeous! The colors add a nice brightness to the boring wall across from my desk. All of my co-workers have commented on how nicely the piece suits the space. It arrived sooner than expected and the packaging was appropriate. I love everything about this painting and my experience purchasing it! March 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1Happynester Beautiful art on canvas Placed this in my new office after searching for just the right piece. Colors are vibrant and I can imagine a beautiful, misty morning. Art is highly subjective. I find this soothing. February 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bellacat Beautiful! This is a vivid, beautiful painting that brightens up any space, and pulls a room together. I'm using it in my office - it's bright, cheerful, and soothing to look at. It looks even better in person than it does online, and it looks far more expensive than it really is. The painting is quite large, so make sure you have a large wall to display it on. February 2, 2014

Reviews for Creamy Ham & Potatoes
"I cook for my husband and I in the slow cooker all the time. Not a waste at all! What are you wasting? I don't understand your comment."
"Too bland and salty. Will not make it again"
"I have made MANY times since I first found this recipe!!! We LOVE it!!! I have done it double and 4X-I don't think I have EVER made something for just two !!! LOL What I do is use a small ham steak {1 to double and 2 to 4X} I cube it and then pan fry {with a T of butter} to crisp it up a bit. Then I dice and cook onions in the pan to get up all the browned up goodness from the pan- this adds a nice smokey flavor. The little bit of butter helps to thicken the "sauce" with the flour as it cooks. We eat it like a chowder and it is even better the next day!!!"
"Hi Alice, According to my Taste of Home Cassaroles & Slow Cooker cookbook converter, which is pretty darned accurate, I would bake this dish at 350 degrees for 40 minutes."
"Ummm, yummy! I used a whole 16 pkg of ham cubes, 1# pkg of Velveeta and the whole can of soup to eliminate waste and this dish was delicious. The big surprise came when my husband, heating up the leftovers, added a carton of sour cream and 1 C. of peas. That made this dish absolutely mouth-watering! We will definately make this again - next time using sour cream in place of the milk and adding the peas for nutrition and color."

GOP Lawmakers Hope to Combat Ammunition Stockpiling by Gov't Agencies With AMMO Act
Republicans in the Senate and House are expected to introduce a joint bill Friday that would limit the amount of ammunition that federal agencies are allowed to buy and stockpile over the next six months, the Washington Free Beacon reports.
The bill, titled the Ammunition Management for More Accountability or "AMMO" Act, is being proposed after several lawmakers have voiced concerns about some federal agencies, like the Department of Homeland Security, seemingly stockpiling large quantities of ammo.
"DHS, for instance, has placed two-years worth of ammunition, or nearly 247 million rounds, in its inventory," the Free Beacon notes.
In a statement provided to the Washington Free Beacon, one of the bill's co-sponsors, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), said federal agencies must provide more "transparency and accountability" in regards to its "stockpiles of ammunition."
"President Obama has been adamant about curbing law-abiding Americans' access and opportunities to exercise their Second Amendment rights…One way the Obama administration is able to do this is by limiting what's available in the market with federal agencies purchasing unnecessary stockpiles of ammunition," the statement adds.
Continued: GOP Lawmakers Hope to Combat Ammunition Stockpiling by Gov't Agencies With AMMO Act | TheBlaze.com
Black Blade: The problem now is that Customs is holding up importation of "cheap" foreign surplus ammo. For many of us this is a bigger problem than the government hoarding of US manufacture commercial ammo.

Good News!
By Rebecca Teti
Weekend: Got Any Good News to Share?
Big or small, do you have something good to pass along -- an answered prayer, a kindness received, an occasion to celebrate? Let's talk about it this weekend.
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
My good news for the day is that God is merciful and always ready to give us another chance! I'm headed to confession, and grateful that I have the opportunity and means to do so. How about you? Best kind of "do over" we have.
I agree, Mary Therese, our access to God's mercy through the sacrament of Confession is very good news. And it's one that I will have to take advantage of a lot this summer, because the heat and humidity turn me into the wicked witch of the west. My good news is that tonight there is good cloud cover and a little breeze, so I have my windows open instead of listening to my roaring window AC units.
Absolutely, Mary Therese. And what a beautiful name, by the way. I too hit the confessional tonight and felt cleansed and blessed. I'm thankful that God moves so many of his children to become priests and act as good shepherds to help us in our journey to God.

Presented in conjunction with the Rock Hall's 2010 Black History Month celebration of Philadelphia Soul
Interviewed by Dr. Lauren Onkey
Philadelphia native Weldon Arthur McDougal III contributed to the musical evolution of the Sound of Philadelphia for over four decades. As a songwriter, recording artist, group bandleader and independent producer, he has helped shape and influence the creation and development of Philly sound since the early 1960s. Founding member and co-owner of the now legendary Harthon/Dynodynamics record labels alongside Luther Randolph and Johnny Stiles, McDougal produced diverse local Philly artists including Eddie Holman, Barbara Mason, the Volcanoes, Larry Clinton, Nella Dodds, Cindy Gibson, Herb Ward, and many others. McDougal produced Barbara Mason's Philly classic Top 10 hit, "Yes, I'm Ready" which is one of the first examples of the sweet, lush orchestrated sound that came to be called Philly soul. In the 1970s, McDougal continued to produce while working nationally at Motown records.

if you know how a to build a Ak from scratch you also have the abuility to copy one. n o one is going to spend hours on hours drawing up plans from existing partas and then hand them over for free. If you have the thousands of dollars in equipment to mill and turn parts and then properly temper them then you can afford a kit to copy. take your dimensuons and then sell it for what you paid or more.
Turbothis on the AKforum has made trunions from scratch about a year ago he did them on CNC equipment contact him. i doubt he is going to giver his hard work away however. You will not be able to build from scratch cheaper than from existing parts unless you dont count your time. the bolt/carrier an trunion are fairly complex. i looked into doing three lug saiga bolts and gave up after dealing with price work to pull it off.
i feel that a company with all the right stuff could mass produce the parts for a reasonable price but why when kits are still around for around $100. for it to be worth it you would need to offer something special that a normal kit dosent have like 3 lugs and the ability to handel higher pressures to allow 308win and other high pressure rounds to be safe. IMOO Sagia would sell a zillion rifles if they offered the 308 for the same money as the 7.62x39but some how they feel adding a 3rd lug that likely costs no differance than a normal bolt is worth $250.
I ha ve looked for years for prints or plans but have never seen them and if I owned them I honestly doubt i would give away something that valuable. Id find a way to make money off them by having my own parts made and sold.
BTW myou dont need a liscence to build parts for yourself. what liscense do you have???????

Two strangers — one, Trayvon Martin, and another, George Zimmerman, — met in Florida on a February night.
Their ensuing saga recalls another story marked by violence and two strangers who met a long time ago. One had been beaten, stripped naked, ignored by passersby and left for dead. The other, a foreigner, a Samaritan, came upon him along the road.
The two stories' endings, one real life, another a parable, could not be more different.
In the contemporary story there was neither healing nor help. Instead, between these strangers there was mistrust, fighting and killing. And so, tragically, Mr. Martin is dead. And Mr. Zimmerman, while alive, is cursed by many to wander Cain-like the rest of his life.
But in the parable that Jesus taught us, the Samaritan bandaged the stranger's wounds. He helped and healed him. The stranger's life was restored.
It is too late, unfortunately, to change the tragedy of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.
But every day, we are offered opportunities to make choices. We can attack the stranger as the robbers did on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. We can ignore the stranger, as the priest and passersby did when they saw the injured man. Or we embrace the stranger and provide him with help and hope.
Our contemporary sagas can end differently when the ancient parable is heeded:
"Go and do likewise," Jesus said.

|Repeat champs!
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – With an 8-5 win in the championship match, Idaho men's tennis players Abid Akbar and Marius Cirstea claimed Idaho's second straight ITA Mountain Regional doubles title, and the second involving Cirstea.
The duo now advances to the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships Nov. 8-11 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, N.Y., the site of the US Open.
Akbar and Cirstea beat UNLV's pairing of Ace Matias and Bernard Schoeman in the championship match to take home the crown. The pairing won back-to-back 9-8 decisions in the quarterfinals and semifinals to get to the finals, completing a run of five straight victories after a first-round bye in the six-round draw.
"This is a great accomplishment for Abid and Marius," Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. "It's their senior year for both guys and they've really been focused on achieving this goal. I'm looking forward to the national championships, and with the way they're playing, they have a chance to bring a national championship to Idaho."
Last year was the first time Idaho tennis was represented in the National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, an even that features a 20-team doubles draw consisting of regional champions and highly ranked pairings.

MINEOLA - Do a Google search for the word "Mettwurst" and you'll be guided to Wikipedia, the popular online encyclopedia.
Three paragraphs into its definition of the German pork sausage, Wikipedia has this to say:
"The town of Mineola, Iowa, which was settled almost exclusively by immigrants from Schleswig-Holstein, hosts an annual heritage dinner with "Schoening-style" cold-smoked Mettwurst known in the Low German dialect as "Metvuss."
Since the first of January, the Mills Masquers have been preparing their 34th annual Winter Musical – "Annie Jr."

Last fall, Myron Roker received a special package at his home in Glenwood. Inside the white envelope was a letter from Consulat General de France A Chicago and a medal making him a Knight of the Legion of Honor, France's highest military distinction given to living U.S. veterans who risked their lives during World War II while fighting on French territory.
While many Mills County residents were ringing in the new year in the comfort and warmth of their own homes, a Glenwood man was roughing it in a tent outside Grace United Methodist Church (GUMC).
Jeff Mitts spent New Year's Eve camping in the tent to fulfill a promise he made to members of the church congregation for surpassing its "Blankets +" missions project fundraising goal.
People walking in the door of the Glenwood Pet Lodge are often greeted by a tan and white Jack Russell terrier named Gracie. Gracie, the unofficial operations manager, sniffs at patron's hands and wags her tail back and forth.
MALVERN - Artist Zack Jones has worked in various mediums.
Digital animation, watercolor, film, pen and ink, oil on canvas.
Nowhere on that list does "139-year-old former Presbyterian church" appear.
But that is exactly the "medium" Jones is working in with his Art Church Project.
Jones bought the former Presbyterian church just off Main Street in Malvern on the brick-lined street corner of Prospect and East Fourth Streets from the Malvern Historical Society last May.
Mills County businesses and community members are working together, making exciting changes to create healthier lifestyles. One way that this is occurring is through support and changes from local restaurants.
Live Healthy Iowa helps bring more awareness to what Iowans are eating and the importance of being physically active.
Attendees at Keg Creek Days in Glenwood may be familiar with watching children pedal Ken Myers' small tractors down a stretch of sidewalk.
Laura Millar, once she gets going, can't sit still very long. She snaps her fingers, bounces slightly in her seat and travels between the vending machine containing small toys and the dining table. She loves sports.
"In the summer I like to swim," said the 9-year-old with curly red hair and a big smile. "Sometimes in winter I play hallway soccer."

Frank Zappa (guitar, keyboards, Synclavier, vocals; born December 21, 1940, died December 4, 1993) Frank Zappa was rock and roll's sharpest musical mind and most astute social critic. He was the most prolific composer of his age, and he bridged genres – rock, jazz, classical, avant-garde and even novelty music - with masterful ease. Under his own name and with the Mothers of Invention, Zappa recorded 60 albums' worth of material in his 52 years. Many were double albums or CDs, making his output even more impressively huge. Not surprisingly, he was occupied nearly every waking hour by the composing, ...full bio
"Musicians usually cannot speak - that's why they communicate through their instruments. But Frank was one who could, and because music is pure, the musician is pure as well. And when Frank spoke, he demonstrated the power of purity."

Office of Cultural Affairs Partners with Habitat for Humanity of NCC for Art Exhibit
Posted on 07/25/2013 11:40 am
The Office of Cultural Affairs is partnering with Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County for a special exhibit in August at the Louis L. Redding City/County Building located at 800 N. French Street in Wilmington, Delaware. An opening reception for The Annabelle Project will be held on Friday, August 2 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. during Art on the Town, Wilmington's monthly first Friday gallery tour.
The exhibit is comprised of artwork traditionally for sale at the ReStore, and will be available for purchase at the Redding Gallery through the month of August with all proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County. The ReStore, located at 3312 Seminole Drive in Wilmington, is a non-profit business venture supporting the community through the resale of new and used home improvement and renovation supplies.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to invest in original artwork at affordable prices while helping a great cause" said Jeni Barton, Curator of the Redding Gallery in the Louis L. Redding City/County Building.
The Annabelle Project started in 2010, when current board member Annabelle Kressman, asked friends who were downsizing to donate unwanted artwork to new Habitat homeowners. The request for donations spread quickly and many beautiful pieces of art began arriving daily at Habitat's administrative office. Habitat homeowners were delighted to have such lovely pieces of art on display in their new homes.
The program also introduced many new people to Habitat's work in New Castle County. The pieces that homeowners have not chosen are sent to Habitat's ReStore and sold. The Annabelle Project has been a huge success. One exhibit in August will feature original pieces that have been donated to this program.
"The Annabelle Project is a new way for us to engage individuals in our work providing affordable housing for low-income families. Art donors are providing wonderful art options for our homeowners and a means to generate income for our homebuilding operations." Kevin L. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Habitat for Humanity of New Castle County.

Rep Confirms Business as Usual For Kodak's Film Division After Spinoff
Kodak's transfer of its Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses—including its photographic film division—to the UK Kodak Pension Plan (KPP) will not affect the production or distribution of photographic film, according to Audrey Jonckheer, Global Communications Director for Kodak's Personalized Imaging business.
Jonckheer says the Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses are gearing up for what they hope will be a smooth transition. "This whole plan was put together so there would not be any changes in product, services or delivery to our customer base…. All of the manufacturing sites will continue to operate as normal."
On Monday Eastman Kodak Company announced that it would turn its Personalized Imaging and Document Imaging businesses over to KPP in order to settle $2.8 billion in claims KPP made against Kodak in bankruptcy proceedings. Kodak agreed to transfer the businesses to KPP for cash and non-cash consideration of $650 million. If the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the UK Pensions Regulator approve the settlement, it will help pave the way for Kodak to emerge from Chapter 11.
The proposed deal has encouraged optimism, Jonckheer says. Today the KPP chairman, Steven Ross, was in Rochester, where Kodak is based, speaking with Kodak employees and local reporters. According to Jonckheer, "He exuded confidence in the growth prospects for the businesses," and said that with the proper investment, which Kodak hasn't been able to make due to their Chapter 11 status, the businesses could grow.
"That's the part that's exciting to us, because we are profitable," Jonckheer says. "The future is looking bright."
In the immediate aftermath of the announcement the majority of social media chatter was about the future of Kodak film, says Jonckheer. "From a social media perspective, from the immediate media coverage that we saw, it was primarily film. Film was in the headlines," she told PDN. "No matter what this company does, the reaction is always, 'How is this going to affect film?'"
"We have been asked that, and we have said what we've been saying all along, which is that the lifecycle of film depends on the demand for it, and as long as there is profitable demand there will be film."

Car Tax - Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How is my property tax calculated?
The current tax rate is $4.57 per $100 of assessed value. To compute the tax on an item assessed at $5,000, divide the assessed value by 100 and multiply by the tax rate:
($5,000 ÷ 100) x $4.57 = $228.50
Are there exceptions to the tax rate?Yes. The following are currently taxed at a rate of one cent per $100: antique automobiles with antique or permanent vintage license plates, certified van pool vehicles, vehicles equipped for the transportation of persons with disabilities, some vehicles owned by members of volunteer fire and rescue squads and auxiliary police, vehicles owned by certain elderly and disabled individuals, aircraft and flight simulators, and homeowner associations furniture, office and maintenance equipment. Mobile homes are taxed at the real estate tax rate.
What if I don't receive forms in the mail?
Failure to receive forms does not exempt you from either the obligation to file or pay taxes on time. Forms may be obtained at the Government Center or by calling 703-222-8234 [TTY 711] or may be downloaded from this Web site.top
How are vehicles assessed?
The Statutes which govern personal property assessments for automobiles require that the value be (1) from a recognized pricing guide, (2) applied uniformly, and (3) as of January 1 of the tax year. To meet these requirements, Fairfax County, along with most other Virginia jurisdictions, uses the January edition of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Official Used Car Guide. For more information regarding vehicle assessments, please refer to our Car Values page.top
Under what conditions may an assessment be appealed?If you believe that your vehicle has been overassessed, you may appeal the assessment. Body damage, rusting, and mileage are conditional factors for which adjustments in value are most frequently made.
How do I appeal my assessment?If your vehicle was in less than average condition as of January 1, submit a Car Tax Appeal form along with an itemized estimate detailing the extent of damage and the cost to repair the vehicle. Other acceptable documentation would be a copy of an insurance company estimate describing the cost to repair the damage. If your appeal is for a high mileage adjustment, please attach a copy of your most recent Safety Inspection slip, vehicle repair receipt or a similar document which identifies the mileage.
When do I need to register my vehicle with the Virginia DMV? (Special Rule for out-of-state cabs)
Most vehicles have to be registered with the Virginia DMV within 30 days of purchase or establishing residency in Virginia. Contact the Virginia DMV for more information.
Note, special rules apply to out-of-state Cabs driven for personal use in Virginia but displaying out-of-state plates. For example, a vehicle may be used as a cab in DC and display DC license plates. If however, when not in service, the vehicle is normally garaged at a Virginia residence and used in Virginia for personal use, that vehicle is subject to the County's Personal Property Tax and is required to display dual license plates (i.e., it must display plates from both DC and Virginia at the same time). Personal use vehicles may be eligible for the State Car Tax Subsidy.top
When do I need to register my vehicle with Fairfax County?
Vehicles that are normally garaged or parked in Fairfax County must be registered with the Fairfax County Department of Tax Administration (DTA) within 60 days of purchase or move-into the County and are subject to the Car Tax. This is a separate and additional requirement from the Virginia DMV registration. A 10% late filing penalty is charged on vehicles that are not registered within the 60-day deadline. Vehicles must be registered with the local tax office, regardless of whether or not they are still displaying an out-of-state license plate. The legal requirement is based on where the car is normally garaged or parked. Special rules apply to certain military personnel and to certain vehicles used by full-time college students. For vehicles that have properly registered with the County for the current year, future renewal notices will be mailed to the owner in subsequent years and only need to be changed by exception (move; sold; address change).top
What if my car is registered in another state and displays out-of-state license plates? (Special Rule for out-of-state cabs)
Your car must still be registered with Fairfax County within 60 days of purchase or move-in. It is subject to taxation by the Virginia locality in which it is normally garaged or parked. However, if the vehicle is improperly displaying out-of-state plates beyond the 30 registration requirement of state law, the vehicle is also subject to the County's non-proratable $100 No Plate Tax assessed annually and a one-time penalty of $250.
While most vehicles located in Virginia are required to display Virginia tags, there are special rules for out-of-state cabs. For example, a vehicle may be used as a cab in DC and display DC license plates. If however, when not in service, the vehicle is normally garaged at a Virginia residence and used in Virginia for personal use, that vehicle is required to display dual license plates (i.e., it must display plates from both DC and Virginia at the same time). While such vehicles are subject to the County's Personal Property Tax and may be eligible for the State Car Tax Subsidy, displaying dual plates will exempt the vehicle from the No Plate Tax as of January 1. Failure to display dual tags likewise makes this vehicle subject to the County's non-proratable No Plate Tax assessed annually and a one-time penalty of $250. This is in addition to the County's normal personal property tax and registration fees.top
Do I need to buy a decal if I live in one of the towns?
Under Section 4-17.2 of the Fairfax County Code, owners of vehicles normally located within the towns of Clifton, Herndon or Vienna, are required to purchase a motor vehicle decal or pay a local vehicle registration license fee to the town, instead of paying the Fairfax County Local Vehicle Registration License Fee. If the town does not impose and collect such fee in any year, then vehicles normally located within that town become liable for the Fairfax County Local Vehicle Registration License Fee for that year.
Certain special rules for town residents apply. Please refer to our Vehicle Registration License fee page or contact your respective town for more information.top
Do I need to register a leased vehicle with Fairfax County?
Most leasing companies require the lessee to register the vehicle with their local jurisdiction. The vehicle is registered in the name of the leasing company, and the car tax bills are sent directly to the leasing company for payment. Depending on your lease contract, the car taxes are either paid by the leasing company or the tax bill is forwarded to the lessee for payment.
You may register your leased vehicle on-line using our vehicle registration tool or download a registration form at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/dta/forms.htm.top
How do I register my vehicle for the Car Tax?
The Fairfax County Code requires owners of motor vehicles newly acquired or moved into the County to file for car taxation within 60 days, otherwise a penalty for late filing will be assessed.
You may file for the Car Tax in several ways. We recommend you perform this activity online:
What should I do if I have sold my vehicle or moved my vehicle out of Fairfax County?
In Fairfax County, the car tax on motor vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles, and vans) is prorated to reflect the time the vehicle was normally garaged in the County. To ensure that your motor vehicle is taxed accurately, you must notify the County when a vehicle is moved out of the County or sold. This may be done in person by visiting our office, by telephone, or by email. You may also report vehicle sales or moves online using our vehicle update tool.
If you have sold your vehicle or moved the vehicle out of the County, the following information is required: property owner name and daytime phone number; vehicle identification number (VIN), year, make, and model or Fairfax County property number (if known); and date the vehicle was sold or relocated. If the vehicle was moved out of the County, you must also provide the new address.
Upon notification that a property has been moved or sold, the Department of Tax Administration will adjust your account.
Please note that vehicles which are moved out of Fairfax County to a non-prorating Virginia jurisdiction during the tax year are not prorated. Effective July 1, 1998, vehicles registered in Virginia but normally kept out of state are also taxable by the jurisdiction where registered.top
When are Car Tax payments due?
The majority of Car Tax bills are mailed in the summer and are due by October 5.
For vehicles bought or located in the County on or after July 1, bills are mailed in January of the following year and payment is due February 15
If a payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or County holiday, the due date is the following business day.
To whom do I make the check payable?Checks or money orders should be made payable to "County of Fairfax."
Mail payments to:
Fairfax County Department of Tax Administration
12000 Government Center Parkway, Suite 223
Fairfax, VA 22035
US Postmark must be by the due date to avoid late charges.
How do I purchase property at public auction for delinquent taxes?
DTA may also sell vehicles and certain business equipment at public auction for the collection of delinquent taxes. If you have questions or would like to be added to a potential bidders list for personal property public auctions, please send your contact information to DTA's Revenue Collection Division. Vehicles and equipment currently scheduled for Public Auction.

Written proposal for Academy of Art University Graduate photography program.
A great photographer prevents the moments of life from escaping us. It takes a very special person with a very exceptional gift to be able to photograph thoughts, expressions, and emotions that can visually transcend their artistic beauty and flare. Clarence Sumlin is one of those rare exceptions. Now residing in Saint Louis, Missouri; Clarence Sumlin is one of the newest rising stars in the world of photography. Specializing in fashion photography, Sumlin recently published his third look-book via blurb.com to celebrate his career thus far in fashion photography. Clarence likes to have his models and styling contrast with the surroundings because of his special appreciation for architecture and nature; he feels that the right environment can enhance the mood of a picture, aiding the story telling process.

To sign up for service you will need the following:
PLEASE NOTE: If the service is off at the location, the sign-up process must be completed before 3:00PM to have service restored the same day.
A deposit may be required to establish service with the City of Modesto.
Based on guidelines provided by the State of California, a deposit is not to
exceed three times the average monthly bill for the property address. A deposit
will also be added to active utility accounts if service is disconnected for non-payment.
The deposit shall be applied to the closing bill upon the discontinuation of
services and any remaining credit will be refunded.
Bills are due and payable upon receipt and become delinquent at the
end of each billing cycle in which they are issued. If not received in our office by payment due date,
bills are delinquent and subject to additional fees and disconnection. If services are turned off for
non-payment, payment of all balances owing plus fees will be required to restore service. Checks are not
accepted for accounts once a final notice has been mailed. Payments received after 3:00 pm on accounts

consumption is based on usage. Services where the water is off for non-payment
are still connected to City systems and the charges will continue to be billed.
Garbage service is not discontinued when water is turned off for non-payment,
and the charges will continue to be billed.
Accounts should be paid under written protest prior to delinquency to ensure that additional fees are not assessed
or service is disconnected. A formal Request for Review form must be completed and submitted within 30 days from
the date the disputed charges are billed. This form can be obtained by speaking to a Customer Service Representative

Well, ya see, even when a gay guy calls you pet names, that doesn't necessarily mean he wants to do you.
If I call you "my dear" or "sweetheart" would you assume I want to lick your balls? No. At least I hope not. Because I don't, but I did call you these things.
The same rule applies to menfolk.
(and this is where Justin comes back with, "But I DO want to do Midnight. He's hawt." just to prove me false.)
I just think the concept of a man calling another man sweetheart, and that man being okay with it is gay. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that, but I don't desire to be viewed in that sense.

Today I decided to Bold and underline the dates of my blog. I got in a scuffle with some hispanic kid at school on Friday, and he was saying things shuch as "I'm gonna slit your little throat Gringo" And I replied with the usual "You're not down!" and "Go ahead, do it!" and guess what? That punk looked away when I loocked him in the eye today I didn't feel it relevant to write this earlier, but I found it SO funny today, I had to share.
I took a field test for Chemistry today. It's the new version of our "End Of Course" test. I flew through it in about an hour. I was SUPPOSED to take all day, like the slow kids, but guess what? Midnight ain't slow! I also realized, I REALLY need to start reading that driver's ed book again. I need to get that written test in. I have a question, loyal readers of this tiny little thread, "Is an American DMV open on Memorial Day Weekend?" That would be the [I]PERFECT[I/] time to take my test. I wish I had more to write for ya PD, but, as this economy is right now, this is all I can afford . Until next time, PD.

God dammit I hate tests that give you too much time.
Especially when they make you stay till the end.

I don't mind long tests, as long as I have a book to read or paper to draw on. That always makes the time enjoyable. And, if I have neither, then homework is always on option. Did they make you stay till the end of the test Midnight? or were you allowed to walk out free and go stalk the Hispanic antagonist?
My Pokemon Story
Not a Pokemon story, but...
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
You might be considered too smart for the education system with a comment like that God. That's blasphemy, to suggest efficiency, dontcha know?
My Pokemon Story
Not a Pokemon story, but...
It doesn't fit in with liberal thinking, either. Didn't you know that teaching suppresses a child's creativity and individuality, which must be nurtured and allowed to flourish at all costs?
I think it depends on which school you go to. Some are only concerned with making you the best of the best of the best, sir!; others like to push you harder in directions you're already going (while maintaining constant pressure on everything else, of course); and different others just leave you to it.

I am REALLY REALLY sorry I haven't been around, but I had some tech issues that are being resolved soon. And by tech issues, I mean a shorted keyboard. What's up with that?
Anyway, I finally got back into the swing of things, and decided to take the time to sneak some time on here whilst away from home.
I went to our "local"amusement park yesterday with my schoolmates and had a blast! I ate my first funnel cake! It was FREAKIN' AMAZING! I think it was a pretty good day, but I must flee PD, so until next time.

Anybody know about SM4 ambulance rider?

Good Video, Annoying Announcers
Submitted by Racer (not verified) on
Good video of the Men Open.
Why do cross races have announcers? Nobody is out there watching, they just end up talking to themselves.
I could not disagree more
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
I'm not sure who the announcer was for this race but I love a good announcer. Have you witnessed a skiing event... now that is some bad announcing!!!
There may not be crowds upon crowds listening to them but for me even as a racer I love it!
Now if bronze or lead level events are looking to save some bucks than maybe they could do away with it but I hope silver and gold keep them around.

Submitted by Andy Harmon (not verified) on
I agree with Kris. While I could be perfectly happy without announcers at cross races, I think it enhances the scene and provides positive energy. I appreciate it as a racer, a spectator, or just when I'm mulling around at my car. More energy at an event is a good thing.
Before criticizing an announcer's jokes, consider how hard it is to hold a mic for 8 hours trying to be entertaining and informative. No easy task.
Larry G rules
Submitted by John Kerschner (not verified) on
A couple of points on announcing amateur CX races
1) I agree it brings positive energy to the race. I've never known Larry critize or mock a rider and so very often he gives a shout out to random racers. As a lowly, middle of the pack Cat 4 racer, it is pretty awesome he looks up my name every so often and calls it out when I come by.
2) Announcing is difficult. CX comes with no program and often there are 2-3 races going on at the same time. Larry does a great job trying to give as much color as possible on racer positioning.
3) While this year the weather has cooperated, Larry is often out there braving poor weather and still having a great time.
4) CX is about intense racing but also being laid back and having fun. Larry gets that and enhances the festival atmosphere in my opinion.

I like the dynamic that the announcer adds to the videos...I might have included a little too much in this vid though. I agree that they sometimes talk to themselves, but Larry has some funny comments a lot of the time.
Would you prefer awkward silence?
Submitted by Crankymommy (not verified) on
As a Cat 4 woman, it's often quiet enough during our races. We race early before the crowds are there. Plus, if they are there, and they're watching me, they aren't really heckling or cheering. It's more just silent pity or looking away in anguish. Race announcers like Larry make me giggle in spite of myself, have fun as an amateur and even give me a feel for what's going on within my own race; how the field is split up (or not), where my competition is, etc.
When I'm watching other races (people who are much faster), I live for the announcing. You can't be all over the course at once (I've tried). He knows the names and faces and racer histories of the season. I actually LEARN to race better by paying attention to him.
Plus, he's pretty funny AND he sang "Happy Birthday" to my 10 year old daughter at her first "official" cross race on her birthday. It made her YEAR.
But maybe you prefer awkward silence and the sound of wind. To each their own.

This announcer seems to like to hear himself talk and adds little to no value. Got the call wrong for who was going to win the race and kept going on about it. Irritating to listen to.
The announcer definitely spoils the video. I have seen (or heard) this guy at other races and once in a blue moon he may make a humorous remark or explain something that the average fan wouldn't know.

So Stevenson pays Summerhill
Submitted by Ano (not verified) on
So Stevenson pays Summerhill to win the elite race so he can get the boulder racing series points over Powilson. That's just lame. Win like a man.
Lots of details missing
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
So Stevenson would not have won if Summerhill apparently had not paid him? The results show
1st Stevenson
2nd Summerhill
3rd Powilson
Or are you saying Stevenson would not have showed up if Summerhill had not paid him. Why didn't Powilson win? Maybe you are saying that Summerhill let Stevenson breakaway and Summerhill stayed back, sounds like good racing to me. Teams or alliances can be made right on the spot in racing, suck it up! That is why it is important to have strong teams if you are chasing victory. In the end this is just speculation and your responses will be no proof
Did you watch the video?
Submitted by Ano (not verified) on
Did you watch the video? Summerhill has the race wrapped up. In the last corner Stevenson comes through first as Summerhill coasts to the finish faking a chain problem. Stevenson yelled at Summerhill in the last few corners that he would pay him to win the race because he wanted to win the boulder racing series over Powilson and needed the points. No speculation. Anyone who watched the finish of the race could smell the fishiness. I watched it happen from the finish straight.
Interesting theory Watson
Submitted by Sherlock (not verified) on
1. While Polison was 1st in the series going into the race, Stevenson is 28th, so he probably doesn't care about the series
2. The race is not part of the boulder racing series, so there was no points on the line.
Want to try another theory?

It was for the Cross Cup points. Many spectators heard the verbal transaction before the finish line. This is not theory's, this is FACT and was admitted by Stevenson to numerous other racers.

Beautifully Made with Finest Materials
I purchased this desk pad for a solid wood desk that deserved only the finest, and this is certain it. The leather is their "always 2nd to none", not a hint of leather imperfection, the battleship linoleum is so thick, unbendable and sleek-smooth and the bottom side is thickly covered to protect the desk. The finest quality I've ever seen. Prior to purchase, I emailed Bosca customer service on proper size of desk pad. They were so very helpful and quick to respond. The best quality and service I've ever experienced!

We bought this desk pad in the Dark brown which actually has a bit of a reddish color to it and it matches our furnishings in our library perfectly! It provides great protection for our antique library table and looks great!

Riverside Lunch.
It was a thankless job. He ran the place like a fiddle-playing Nero, and the department administrator had a Napoleon complex. Two tyrants does not a happy workplace make. The highlight of my day was when my workmate Cathy and I headed over to the Skull and Bones for lunch. Now Cathy was a lifer, a real Joan Holloway, and she'd secretaried in the same hospital since she was 19. Now she was in her 60's, which meant she'd done time in every department that ever existed, and knew the dirt on everyone. She knew what days the cafeteria chicken salad was fresh, and what times to avoid the ER. Which doctor was sleeping with who, who was drunk most of the time, and who was the real deal, an angel put here on earth to save people. A bottomless pit of useful information. Sometimes her daughter, also named Cathy, would join us, the two of them smoking like chimneys, laughing deep, raspy laughs as they gossiped and joked. I adored them.
I also adored the Skull and Bones. A real lunch joint. All the coffee cups and diner plates were ringed in red, the waitresses were surly and wore uniforms, and you could buy and olive and cream cheese sandwich for $1.75. While service might be surly, it was dynamite fast. We'd sit down at 12:07 and have our meals in front of us by 12:12, leaving us more than 45 minutes to relax, eat, smoke, and dish before heading back to the trenches. When they tore down the Skull and Bones, replacing it with a McDonald's, I was crushed.
I bring all this up because back this summer* when Jennifer Marley, the lovely and talented blogger of Cville Field Notes, invited me out for lunch we ended up at Riverside Lunch. The minute I walked in, saw the cops and firemen chowing down, then looked at the menu lit up on the wall, fond memories came flooding back. It wasn't the Skull and Bones, but it was pretty damn close.
Jennifer got a burger, and I (having just had a patty melt the night before) decided on the BLT. I've since learned Riverside is famous for their "flat burgers" and feel kinda stupid I didn't order one. Guess I'll just have to go back. Often. Because the food at Riverside is one helluva place for some fried greasy goodness. My BLT on wheat was PERFECT. Huge chunks of dark green romaine jabbed up next to huge slabs of crispy bacon overhanging the bread. Lots of mayo, lots of crunch, lots of grease, lots of yum. Ditto the basket of fries we shared on the waitress's recommendation. Good thing too, because this was a HUGE portion. Took the remainder home (also on the waitress's recommendation), and made delicious homefries the next day with some peppers and onions.
Speaking of the waitress, she was a doll. Gum-chewing, chatty-Cathy friendly. Loved her. Even when Jennifer and I hogged her table for almost 2 hours gabbing she didn't mind, just kept refilling our iced teas. Asking whether we liked the food and whether we'd ever been in before. Real small-town greasy spoon diner talk. My kinda people.
And yes, Jennifer and I talked for almost 2 hours because she's great! Her and her boyfriend just moved to Charlottesville, and her blog, Cville Field Notes, is a blow-by-blow, day-to-day experience of our fair 'ville from a newbie's perspective. Her breakdown of the Craig's List listings alone are howlingly funny.
Her boyfriend has just launched Potter's Craft Cider, soon to be found in every store near you. Great news for this food writer, who just happens to be obsessed with hard cider and always wonders why we don't have more local brands.. . . I mean, we are an APPLE state after all. Not just grapes growin' here you know.
We talked and talked, then talked some more. And as we left, making plans for cocktails and cider sometime soon, and I saw the humongous line of Harleys in the parking lot, I knew I'd be back. I hear their onion rings are outta this world…
*I am woefully late, once again, on this blog musing slash review of my time with Jennifer. To her I apologize. I blame old age memory loss, as I wrote this a while ago, and just discovered the draft on my desktop. Published to coincide with the debut of Potter's Craft Hard Cider THIS WEEK. So there's that :D Tweet

Folic Acid Pills Reduce Risk of Preterm Birth?
New findings in the journal PLoS Medicine claim moms who take folic acid supplements for one year prior to getting pregnant are 50% less likely to have a premature baby. Experts analyzed self-reporting of folate supplementation by 38,033 mothers and found premature delivery rates were cut up 70%. The drop was most profound for resulting in cerebral palsy, mental retardation, chronic lung disease and blindness. Here are Dr. Fuhrman's thoughts on the study:
The need for folate is reflective of the inadequacy of the Americans dietary practices. The medical profession and everyone else it seems translate all these findings into the need to take a pill, instead of the lack of green vegetables in the diet.
Taking a pill is permission to eat the same crummy diet that causes child to get cancer, as well as moms. If instead, we stated the truth that a low-folate diet is dangerous and you must eat your greens every day. Then we would really see childhood cancers plummet.

I like it when candy catches my attention, as it's made to stand out with it's brightly colored packaging, fun shapes and delicious flavors. Sour Punch Straws have fallen under my radar again in the past few days, as I've been seeing them in the news and on a few commercials on TV. My new roommate called me in from the other room to come watch as one played during one of her favorite shows. I find it interesting how people latch onto my candy obsession so quickly. Regardless, all this buzz about "new and improved" flavors of this classic candy certainly made me curious and eager to get some to try.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of the new Zappin' Apple flavor of Sour Punch. I've eaten this flavor before, even though I've only officially reviewed the Strawberry flavor for The Candy Enthusiast, and have enjoyed it. If you recall from my other Sour Punch article, I ate them with my college roommate, which is probably the last time since I had the apple variety. Trust me, it's not as far away as you might think.
I like how even though the flavor has been tweaked, the packaging has not. I like being able to enjoy the same graphic design as always, it's a very iconic style to me and I'd hate it if it was altered in any way.
The straws come neatly packaged and protected in their tray, and they smell wonderfully fruity, floral and tart. There's a slight, but appealing artificial edge to it. They look beautiful with a nice bright green color with the sanded sugar coating.
The texture is wonderful. The straws feel thick and chewy without tiring out my jaw. There's good resistance to my chewing and they have good staying power in my mouth, as they don't dissolve right away or get sticky.
The sour has a good punch (ha ha) to it from the sugary coating. It's strong, yet, it comes across authentically, like a tart granny smith apple. The flavor is much more fruity and juicy than the aroma suggests. I was afraid I'd be getting the standard Jolly Rancher apple flavor, but thankfully I don't. I really enjoy the tart/sweet and intense/mild flavor play here.
As soon as I finished my package, I found this cute video featuring a tween using a Sour Punch straw as, well, a straw. I'm a little baffled that I didn't think of that myself.
Even though I don't have some of the "before" Sour Punch straws to compare, I have to say that I really like where the new Zappin' Apple flavor is headed (as in straight into my mouth to be eaten!). Usually when a company plays with flavors and formulas, the end result is sub par (I'm looking at you Hershey's products and Runts!) but I am happy to say these new version is better than the original.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
Durable, Delectable Nasturtiums (page 2 of 3)
by Charlie Nardozzi
How to Grow Nasturtiums
Not only are nasturtiums versatile and colorful, but they also are easy to grow and thrive on neglect. The large seeds germinate within a week and begin to flower about a month later, making them great choices for children or beginning gardeners. Sow in the garden about a week before the last frost date for your area. They can also be started indoors, but their taproots make them difficult to transplant. If you do grow them indoors, start them in peat pots, and when roots show through the pots' drainage holes, transplant the seedlings into the garden still in their pots.
Nasturtiums love cool, damp conditions and flower best in full sun. However, mine have also done well in part shade. In hot-summer areas, provide some afternoon shade, or cut them back in midsummer and allow the plants to regrow for a fall flower show.
For best flowering, grow nasturtiums in well-drained soil. They don't like excessive fertilization, especially nitrogen. If the soil is too rich, the plants will respond with large leaves and fewer flowers. Aphids are the main pests, but they seldom harm the plants unless it's a major infestation. Check the undersides of leaves for aphids, and eliminate them by spraying the plants with insecticidal soap.
