We wanted a small dinette set for our new all-glass sunroom. I ordered this set in mid-December, and it came in time for the holiday - in a flat box! Everything had to be put together! Assembly was tedious, but do-able. It looks great, and is quite comfortable! I thought it was a very good value for the price we paid. I would've liked a slightly larger table (36" instead of 27.5"), but it did work out fine. We highly recommend this bistro set! By the way, we had Shrimp with Proscuitto over Polenta for our Christmas breakfast in our new sunroom. Yummy!! :-) -JCG
I looked all over at several furniture storesfor a nice bistro set for two. I couldn't find any. The ones they had were all 4 seaters none under $600.00. This set looks really nice and is a great price.The seats swivel which is a nice feature. My husband said it was easy to put together.
I thought I was on a roll with two items already purchased assembled and put in place in less than an hour, but this item took me almost 5 hours to assemble. Besides all legs being rusty one of the items holes was drilled incoreectly, so instead of dismanteling and shipping it back, i took out my DEWALT and drill the correct holes. One hell of a nightmare I do not recommend to anyoner. Yes, once installed is beautiful and sturdy, but it is not worth it unless you don't care going thru a nightmare others who reviwed here have gone thru too. Stay away of this item by all means!!!!
I bought this for my eat in kitchen and that was over 2 years ago and its still like new. Very sturdy and chairs were pretty strong.
This set has held up really well and looks great after a year. There are no scratches and I have kids that aren't careful. Well worth the money.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Great
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very good
The set looks just like the photo on the site, however, no matter how tight you screw in the bolts, the table and chairs are all very wobbly. The holes dont line up perfectly, so you really have to bend the pieces to get them bolted together. Its a very cute table set, we just cant eat on it because the whole table shakes when you try to cut chicken or bump it. Great for coffee, but would need something more solid for meals.
Missing a few small pieces but nothing my husband couldn't find in the tool box. Chairs are not the most comfortable but it looks great and fits perfectly in the small I bought it for.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? colors were perfect
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate description
Extremely uncomfortable, super tall and bulky. The design is beautiful and the quality is good, but you can not use it because the chairs are super uncomfortable.

I bought this set for my mother's kitchen last year and it has held up incredibly well. Its stylish and durable. I've been using it as a workstation in addition to dining area all week and have really fallen in love with it.
Perfect addition to my new house! Smaller kitchen so it fit well into the corner. the table is big enough for two people to eat at, plates, cups etc. but thats the extent of it. The set is well made. Just make sure you have a paper towel handy during set up, there is a rust colored dust on the legs that we had to wipe off quickly but no big deal. Great buy for a great price!
I read the reviews prior to my purchase and I thought this would be a wonderful piece for my new home. Unfortunately I am one of the customers who received a table and chair with misaligned parts. This took me 5 hours to assemble due to the fact that the holes in the barstools did not align properly, a table leg was slightly bent and the feet/pads for the table had to glued on because they did not fit at all. The circular pads/seats that attach to the barstools did not fit and they gap in the back. I asked my friend's husband to come over to help (he's a carpenter) and after his handiwork, they look a little better, but NOT like the picture. I would not purchase this again and instead of placing this in my breakfast nook, it will be going in the loft/game room......
I was very excited to get my Fancy Bistro Dining set. I was a bit dissappointed after I got it. My set arrived covered in a rust dust that poured out of the plastic that it was wrapped in. I had to wipe the rust dust off of almost every peice of the set. My set arrived on time but in a very damaged box. I will assume that is how the set got damaged. There was damage to the wood on the top part of one of the chairs. The padded part of the chairs are understuffed. The table is also a bit wobbly. I guess you get what you pay for. It is the right size and look that I wanted for my room.I liked the price of the set and I also like the way the set looks. This set is just not a very high quality set. I would reccomend this set with caution.
I brought this dinette set for me, myself and I and I absolutely love it. It fits perfect in the space it's in. However, it was a little rough on the fingers using the "hex key" provided, but I fixed that by purchasing one with a more comfortable handle. After that purchase, it was a breeze to put together. The instructions were not that great, but I figured it out. Nevertheless, I'm happy with my purchase!
I was very pleasantly surprised when I opened this package. I was worried that the table would look really cheap and poorly made, but much to my surprise, the table looks great, not cheap at all! I can't believe we got this table at this price point... great deal! Yes the pieces had some sort of rust like dust on them, but it easily wiped off, and yes it took 2 hours to assemble, but it was worth every bit of hassle. I highly recommend this product to everyone and don't be worried about the wrought iron looking cheap because it doesn't. And overstock had this package to my door in under a week. I will buy from overstock again.
great little set, thanks for someones previous note about the rust,its really easy to just wash off. Putting together was not hard it is helpful to have a small screw driver to tiden the screws well. Looks really nice, get lots of compliments on it .
I recently remodeled my kitchen and looked everywhere for this type of table to complete the look I wanted but could not find it. I was on Overstock looking for bar stools and came across this set. I immediately read about it and ordered it. I have to say it could not fit the decor any better. I was also able to put it together completely by myself which I felt really good about. You do have to do a bit of balancing to get it to set evenly. It's definately more for looks than functionality but is totally cool and worth it. What I mean is, there is not a lot of space for food but it's so awesome for a candle on the glass top, two wine glasses and two plates for a romantic dinner!
pretty easy to assemble. Exactly the size I wanted. I use it indoors for my lap top and coffee. good price. legs come in with rust shavings on them so just wipe down with wash cloth before taking out of the plastic bag. The package it comes in is very big and heavy, well for the average woman anyway. I live on the second floor and helped the ups woman carry it upstairs. it was pretty heavy for me to lie flat on the floor. no tools neccesary.
I really like the set. The material looks like it would be sturdy. I opened the box up and have pulled everything out but have not assembled it yet. I was really unhappy as I was pulling all the pieces out because all of the pieces had rust powder on them on one side of the box. It looked like the box had gotten wet. I don't believe this was a result of Overstock but rather the shipping company. I wiped the rust off the outside of the table and it looks fine so I think the rust came from the inside of the legs of the table and chairs. It is not assembled yet because I am moving into my new house on 9/18 and have no where to keep the table once it is put together, so I am hoping it will look great once I get it to my new home.
The set is very attractive and solid enough to dine on. The table top is big enough for a few plates but the seat is not a big one. We put it out on our porch and I noticed rust powder on the floor that easily cleaned up but if you're buy it for indoors on carpet you need to know to clean it up a bit first. Typical wobely table, the legs were a bit off in hight but we fixed that with foot pads from the hardware store to easily make it level. It's a great set for the money that we are enjoying. Another good purchase from Overstock.com
1st one we got was defective,table leg not soldered.Table was replaced,it is still not very reliable tosit at or on stools.It does not feel comfortable,everything is tight and still feels like it has a definitewobble to it.Very unhappy and contacting overstock.This is junky.Hope they will allow me to getsomething else.

How to get ESPN#3 on Directv
Posted 03 November 2010 - 01:33 AM
Posted 03 November 2010 - 01:50 AM
Apparently TWC has ESPN3 as a regular cable channel. Any hope tha it also shows up on Directv? We are big Duke basketball fans, and one early-season game is listed as ESPN3.
ESPN3 is an internet channel.

Now, I'm sure Disney would love to have ESPN3 on every internet service as well as cable and satellite and have everyone who subscribes pay for a channel that they may not want. How many sports channels are we going to have that only show a few games the entire year that anyone cares about? And I'm not picking on sports channels. I now there are a lot of channels that we all wish we didn't have to pay. But sports channels always costs a lot more than a general entertainment channels.
At least it appears that Dish has stopped Fox from putting RSN's in their lowest package. But what about the next dispute? Will Disney require ESPN3 to be carried?
I miss the days when local channels showed local sports. While the production value wasn't high, you could at least watch the game without wondering if you had the latest sports channel that had exclusive rights to the game. The major networks should only show the "big" games and locals the rest. Sports fan who want to pay for all the games in all markets like with ESPN Full Court should be allowed to. Just don't make the rest of us pay for something we may not use or can afford.
Thanks for letting me rant.

All the E3 content is sd, but it is watchable on my Sony 52" Bravia, In 2 cases this year it was the only way I could get college football games I wanted to see on the tv. I could have watched E3 on my computer as my isp supports/provides E3 but choose not to do that.

I saw an ad during a football game last night on ESPNU claiming they were starting up another channel called ESPN3 on cable and satellite, but it wasnt clear about when or who was going to carry it. Ill try to remember to quit skipping commercials long enough to try to catch it again.
That may of been a ad for ESPN 3D not ESPN 3.

So far, access to ESPN3 (which started as ESPN360) has been tied exclusively through your ISP. They had to do a deal with ESPN and I beleive do some things configuration-wise to carry it. IT did not matter who you got TV service from or even if you got TV service. If your ISP had ESPN3, you were good to go.
The TWC deal is different. They tied it to the TV service for the first time. Now, to get ESPN3, you have to sub to both Cable internet from them as well as Cable TV service. If you sub to one or the other, you will not get it (unless your ISP has it). SO, if you have TWC internet and DirecTV, you are SOL on ESPN3.
This really sucks as it will cut out consumer choice. For instance, I have AT&T DSL and watch ESPN3 quite a lot. Because ATT sucks and can only give me 3.0/384 DSL, even though we have fiber on the curb in my neighborhood and right now, they are not doing UVerse instals in fiber areas, I looked around for alternatives. My only wired Alternative is Time Warner Cable, but since I like my DirecTV just fine, I can;t go with them without losing something I have now. If all the future ESPN3 deals turn out like this, us satellite people may be screwed. DirecTV should be fighting this as it is a disabvantage.
DirecTV, please don't make me have to go back to watching March Madness in standard Def! Oh, and the usual begging for AMC and BBC America. You are so close to actually being the HD Leader.

If you have an Xbox360, (starting tomorrow, I believe) you will be able to stream ESPN3 on your 360. That is provided your ISP carries ESPN3. I have Fios, and am looking forward to streaming it on my tv instead of my laptop.
It happened yesterday, and I watched a Premier League Soccer match in HD via ESPN3.

Comments about LUCKY TOLACHE BOOTIE:
I've never owned a pair of booties because I've never been much of a fan but I absolutely LOVE these. They look great with skinny jeans or bootcut jeans. I've only had them for about a month but they seem to be good quality. As far as sizing goes - I seem to be all over the place in size for Lucky Brand shoes. For these I used the sizing chart on the website and it said I should order a 9.5. They are a tad big and I probably should have went with a 9. They're still comfortable and I just wear them with thicker socks.

Before his victory at the Nile.
Before his scandalous personal life made headlines.
Before he crushed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar.
Before he died a martyr.
Horatio Nelson, England's greatest naval hero, assumed his first command, the 12-gun brig HMS Badger, at the tender age of 20. History tells us his first voyages as captain were unremarkable. Yet in the Known Worlds, where sailing ships ply the Void and the mystic science of alchemy works wonders, Nelson's first command goes quite differently. With his brashness and emotions untempered by experience, Nelson's rash actions as captain of the Badger threaten his heroic destiny.
The Gravity of the Affair is a novella set in the Known Worlds of The Daedalus Incident, with events that tie into the novel (though both works may be enjoyed independently of one another).

Main Line Monday: Villanova's Harriton Manor House Is a Blend of Past and Present
Interspersing historic buildings with new constructions, open space with sensitive site planning, not to mention an innovative stormwater management system atop a 55-acre site, it's no wonder the Harriton Farm development earned the Montgomery County Planning Commission's 2007 Land Development Award.
Developed by Pohlig Builders, LLC, and designed by Michael Visich Architects and Glackin Thomas Panzak, Inc., Harriton Farm is unique in that 7 of the 35 homes that reside within it are preserved structures, such as an 1860 gothic cottage, an 1880 Victorian barn and Queen Anne stable, and Lane's End, an 18th-century farmhouse. There's also the Harriton Manor House, which we've chosen as our Main Line Monday home for today.
Originally built in 1842, the Harriton Manor House sits on a lush plot overlooking a pond. It's a country-style residence and as such offers features like plantation shutters and a breakfast room with fireplace and wood-stove insert. It's newer details are likely to have come about during an extensive renovation in 2003. It was then that it had flagstone decking, a lower-level wine cellar and wet bar, and an apartment above the 3-car detached garage added to its repertoire. (FYI, its terrace is two stories and comes with massive columns.)
Lower Merion Police Say Lower Merion Police Did Nothing Wrong in Controversial Stop
The officers who ordered 56-year-old Nathaniel Williams to his knees, then handcuffed him, in a stop connected to a reported robbery at a TD Bank branch in Haverford acted in accordance with department procedure, according to an internal review conducted by the Lower Merion Police Department.
The LMPD reviewed the incident in response to a complaint filed November 2nd by the Main Line branch of the NAACP concerning the October 26th stop. The stop also sparked a protest at the November 4th Township Commissioners meeting, where South Ardmore residents added their testimony of similar treatment by police and called for reforms in police practices and police-community relations. Read more »
South Ardmore Residents Speak Out Against Police Treatment
Correction: A quote in the original publication of this story was incorrectly attributed to Commissioner Joshua Grimes. It was actually said by Commissioner Brian Gordon.
The snow shovels may still be in storage in Ardmore, but they'll be coming back out soon, and when they do, the residents of South Ardmore would rather not use them while keeping one eye cocked for the Lower Merion Township Police.
They made this point and more loud and clear to the Township Commissioners at their regular meeting last night at the Township Building.
The triggering event that brought some 60 to 80 African American township residents and their white neighbors to the meeting was a recent incident in which township police manhandled 58-year-old Nathaniel Williams as he was waiting for a bus across the street from the Ardmore branch of TD Bank. The bank had been robbed, and police were responding to a call stating that a "black male in a hoodie wearing glasses" had done the deed.
Williams was all three. But, after he had been forced to his knees and handcuffed, it quickly became clear that he was not the robber. Nonetheless, several officers continued to hold him until a bank employee came across the street to confirm that he was not the robber. Read more »
Main Line Monday: Yep, This Lower Merion Charmer Went For the Floor Layout Switch
Well, looky here! Is this a thing with Main Line homes we weren't aware of? Sure, we've seen new constructions try out this layout switch before, but rarely have we spotted this in an older residence. In any case, we kind of like it: this circa 1900 Lower Merion home has its living area and kitchen on the second level, while three of its four bedrooms on the main floor.
Not to worry, though. Its old and new features have been commingled in such a way that deem it a charmer through and through. For example, though renovated in 2011, the historic home managed to keep its original hardwood floors and its entrance hall boasts Old World wainscoting. Upstairs, the main living area offers cathedral and beamed ceilings, recessed lighting, and a kitchen with concrete counter tops and built-in cabinetry refrigerator.
But the apple of our eye? There's a plank wood wall made of reclaimed barn wood in the family area and the master suite – also on this level – appears to have a similar feature.
Main Line Monday: Valley View Estate Listed for the Second Time in Sixty Years
Almost saved this one for Friday, but we just couldn't wait to share it with you! Listed last week for a cool – brace yourself, now – $3.5 million, the Valley View estate in Lower Merion finds itself on the market for the second time in sixty years. Quick, get thee to the gallery below before it disappears for another couple of decades!
Situated on more than two acres, the property consists of a stone Pennsylvania farmhouse, three-car garage, and heated swimming pool with hot tub. The Valley View main residence claims 8,000 square feet of living space, including a fully renovated basement with a 1,200-bottle wine cellar. One of its neatest features, though, is the custom wall covering depicting New York Harbor circa 1860 in the formal dining room.
Main Line Monday: Modern Dream Residence in Penn Valley
Would you classify this Lower Merion residence as a mid-century modern? It certainly has that airy, light-generous roominess those types of buildings are known to have. No kidding, the home, built sometime in the 1950s, offers over 4,100 square feet and has high ceilings and a plethora of windows, which to us seems like the perfect place to host large gatherings.
Outdoor features include a back covered porch, a swimming pool one can see from the wall of windows in the lower level, and a pergola-covered terrace off the dining room and kitchen, where a breakfast area has bonus sitting room thanks to the 16-foot granite and stainless steel island. Kitchen amenities consist of a SubZero fridge, three sinks, a wine cooler, and a 6 burner Garland commercial range. A loft area can be found upstairs, while the family room, exercise area, and additional rooms are on the lower level.
More Drama for One Ardmore Place: Nearby Business Owners File Suit Against Lower Merion Township
Six business owners neighboring Carl Dranoff's One Ardmore Place project at the site of the Cricket Parking Lot have filed a lawsuit against Lower Merion Township. The suit claims that Haws Terrace, an access road behind the parking lot, was deeded as public land and isn't allowed to be sold to a private developer to create a 8-story, mixed-use complex.
A newsletter sent out by JustLaws, one of the law firms representing the business owners, sheds some light on the suit:

Did Main Line Cops Crack Down on Shoveling Scofflaws?
On Tuesday night, as emotions over the blown snow forecast and all the inconveniences it brought began to melt away, a new snow controversy erupted in Lower Merion Township on the stylish Main Line outside of Philadelphia.
Wynnewood resident Deborah Saldaña, a 49-year-old mother and Zumba instructor, posted a message to the Facebook group Lower Merion Community Network. In it, she explains that Lower Merion cops confronted two black kids who were shoveling snow outside her home, and that the cops told her father that anyone who wants to shovel someone else's property needs to pay the township for a $50 permit. She suspects racial profiling.
Oh, we'll just let her explain in her own words, via Facebook:

I don't want to work with Alex again, says Jordan
The couple recently returned from their Thai honeymoon amid reports they spent the break rowing and hardly talking to each other.
The honeymoon that was being filmed required Jordan and Reid to be together but she admitted that the honeymoon was just for the cameras and that she could not face working with Reid again.
"No, I don't want to work with Alex again. We did our wedding show together and that's enough for me," The Daily Star quoted Jordan as saying. The honeymoon was part of our three-part show. The show covers all the build-up: my hen do and his stag night, then the wedding, and the honeymoon in the final episode.
"After that's been shown, we're going away for a couple of weeks for a private holiday," she added. (ANI)

¡°I purchased 2 Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD1600BEVT 160GB hard drives. Ended up not being able to use them due to they did not fit laptops, (I was given incorrect information by laptop manufacturer). Newegg customer service was awesome in helping me return the hard drives to them. I have always use Newegg for my computer needs and will continue to do so!! I suggest to every one go to Newegg they have best prices and quality and now will add in awesome customer service!¡±— Fred W 8/18/2016 11:10AM
Building your own computer isn't as daunting of a task as it sounds. And once you understand what you're doing, putting a system together from various computer parts and components can be a very rewarding experience. Best of all, you'll have the computer you really want instead of what a big box retail store is trying to sell you. Fortunately, Newegg has all the components you'll need and more!
At its core, a computer system is nothing more than a combination of computer parts working together. The most essential parts are the CPU, motherboard, memory (RAM), power supply, and hard drive (or SSD). These are typically housed in a computer case, but not always. However, unless you're building a test bench where you'll need to swap out components on a constant basis, you should definitely get a computer case.
Most computer system builders build their own computers for gaming. If that's your goal, then you'll definitely want to check out Newegg's assortment of graphics cards. We have options to meet any budget.
If you're not a gamer, then you might be able to skip the high-end graphics card. Modern CPUs, like the Intel Skylake i7, can handle almost all graphic needs that a business user might have, and even some light gaming. Regardless of your specific use case, it's not a bad idea to invest in a large amount of modern memory (RAM), like DDR4. It will help keep your machine running smoothly even when multi-tasking.
Don't forget to pick up an external hard drive if you have room in your computer building budget. An external hard drive is a convenient way to add storage to your system without having to crack open the computer case. Best of all, it allows you to take your data wherever you go. Portability is never a bad thing.
Whether you're building your first computer or your fiftieth, Newegg is here to help. Start picking out your computer parts today!

Fine Quality Miniature Furniture For Your Dolls House
Welcome to my web site. I make a range of miniature dolls house furniture from the 18th to 20th century, Georgian, Regency, Victorian and Edwardian periods. My furniture includes tables, dressers, desks and a wide selection of chairs.
Fairs for 2016
I'm back from my 25th year at the Kensington Dollshouse Festival. Thank you to all the people who came to see me and almost emptied my stand. I had five items left at the end. That will probably be my last fair. I'm not ruling out ever going again, but I definitely won't be able to make enough stock for 2017
No More Orders
I have now been making miniatures for 25 years and this year will probably be my last. I may if I have time and feel like it make the occasional item to sell from this site, but I am not taking any more orders.
If you already have an outstanding order, don't worry, I haven't forgotten you, and if you're one of the people I saw at Kensington who asked me to consider making them one last item, send me an email and I'll see what I can do.
Remaining Stock
I have now sold the remaining items I had left.
All I have now are a couple of almost finished Pedestal Desks One in oak and one in walnut finish. I just need to finish the drawers. I may also have a few other items ready to be assembled so I will list those here in due course.

As we explain the differences of our church we want to be very clear that this information is not meant in any way as criticism of the Roman Catholic Church. Our only purpose is to show some of our differences for your enlightenment.
Question: What is the difference between Roman Catholic and Old Catholic Church?
In 1870 the Vatican I Council declared Papal Infallibility a dogma or something that you must believe. Many Catholics, especially in Northern Europe, disagreed so strongly with that view that they separated from Rome and came under the protection of Archbishop Utrecht, Holland, who had become independent of Rome in 1724. Since then the Old Catholic Movement has spread worldwide encompassing millions of Catholics. So our primary dogmatic difference is Papal Infallibility.
Question: Do you have valid priests & sacraments?
Yes. We have our own church government, priests and bishops but we still have valid apostolic succession and sacraments. This has never been denied by Rome. (See article from Catholic Vistor) We celebrate the seven sacraments of Catholicism.
Question: What is Old Catholicism?
Old Catholicism is an ancient catholic spirituality that emphasizes freedom and personal responsibility in your practice of faith. It encourages familiarity with the Bible, a relationship with Jesus, intimacy with the Holy Spirit and practicing your faith to help the world.
Question: How is your practice of Catholicism different than Rome?
A. Our priests are allowed to marry and women can be a Eucharistic Minister.
B. All believers are welcome to the Lords Table for communion.
C. We believe that divorce is not the unforgivable sin and can be forgiven so that divorced Catholics may remarry and participate in the sacramental life of the Church. No annulment required.
D. We believe that birth control is a private matter in the conscience of a married couple.
E. Although we celebrate the feast days of the Church Year, we have no Days of Obligation as it is your privilege to worship.
Question: How can you be Catholic but not Roman?
Catholic means (1) the clergy have apostolic succession or have unbroken lineage back to Christ, (2) celebrate the sacramental ministry, (3) adhere to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as expressed through Apostolic Tradition.
We are an 501 C (3) Charitable Organization as of 11/19/2012

CONYERS, Ga. (AP) -- Some Georgia kids have joined a small group
of students across the nation who have had a chance to
teleconference with three astronauts orbiting some 200 miles above
the Earth in the International Space Station.
Wednesday, a few hundred middle schoolers, parents and teachers
gathered in the auditorium of Conyers Middle School to chat with
the astronauts about things like how fast the station travels and
how they prepare for launch.
Officials say Conyers is one of just five schools in the nation
to partake in the agencys Teaching From Space program.
Sixth grade science teacher Vanessa Carter wrote a proposal to
NASA six months ago and sold the idea.

Hi guys,
for my photoblog I'm looking for a WordPress template with the structure of this PixelPost template. Not so much the colors, fonts or whatever, but the lay-out/structure.
I've seen a lot of photoblog templates, but none do just what I want and I sadly am not capable enough to produce it myself. :(
Has anybody ever seen it around?

Grant County Judge-Executive Steve Wood is recommending appropriations for overtime and paint supplies to fix up the jail as the fiscal court still mulls closing the detention center.
After "40 days and 40 nights," Ark Encounter officials are pleased with the attendance and the reaction to the biblical attraction in Williamstown.
While official numbers are not released, Mark Looy, co-founder of Answers in Genesis, said attendance has been "very strong" since the July 7 opening.
Elmer Burchett and Megan McKamey, owners of Elmer's General Store, Cafe and Old time Soda Fountain in Williamstown, received a little help from their friends to recover from a catastrophic loss.
COVINGTON — A Crittenden woman has been sentenced to 224 months in federal prison for providing drugs to her daughter, an inmate in the Kenton County Jail, who subsequently died of an overdose.
A 23-year-old Crittenden man was arrested after a Grant County Sheriff's Office investigation led to a stash of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and wads of cash.
Michael S. Turley of Big Bear Circle was charged Aug. 19 with trafficking in marijuana, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
On July 11, 2016, Eileen Mullins laid her husband, the Rev. Carl D. Mullins, to rest. But, in her mind, she lost him long before that day.
"When we'd be coming home from church, we'd get down to Inez, at this stop sign and turn right, we'd been doing that off and on for 20 some years," Eileen said. "And we got down there one night, and he said, 'I have no idea which way to go.' I think I got so used to it, that I really didn't realize how it was progressing."
Connie McClure-Ellington's estate will get $150,000 about a year after video surfaced of Grant County leaders making sexist jokes and comments about her.
McClure-Ellington died in March at the age of 59 but her lawsuit against the county for political and age discrimination lived on.
That may not be the title that many of us want to hear but it's the truth. Almost all of us as human beings have this longing to be good enough (or at least to look good enough) but what does the Bible say?
Truth is that you are not good enough and will never be good enough but many people don't like this truth.

Taking Its Time, 99L Remains a Potential Threat for Florida, GulfBy Dr. Jeff Masters

Hottest Reliably Measured Air Temperatures on Earth: PART TWOBy Christopher C. Burt
August 19, 2016
In my previous blog I discussed the various contenders for what might be the hottest reliably measured air temperatures on Earth. That blog focused on those that were most likely not reliable for various reasons. In this blog I will briefly list those that I believe to be the most reliably measured. This takes into account such factors as climatology (general and specific to the sites at time of observation), properly exposed instrumentation, and good correspondence with other temperature observations in the vicinity of the record-breaking site(s).

Why the Arrest of a Science-Loving 14-year-old MattersBy Shaun Tanner
September 16, 2015
By now, many of you have heard or read about the arrest of Ahmed Mohamed, a 14-year-old high school student from Irving, Texas. Ahmed was arrested because school officials called the police after he showed one of his teachers his homemade clock. Mistaken for a bomb, Ahmed was taken into custody, interrogated, shamed, suspended (still on suspension today, Wednesday), and reprimanded. All of this after it has been found that the "device" he brought to school was indeed, a homemade clock.

Chef Paz offers Peruvian taste of home
Food is a powerful thing. It nourishes, it brings people together, it makes a little corner restaurant in West Allis feel like a dining room in Peru.
It transports the diner even more so when many of the other guests at Chef Paz - named for its owner, Maritza Paz - appear to be Peruvian expats, looking for a taste of home. (One guest said he'd made the drive from Madison to have the chef's food.) »Read Full Article(2)
Packers fans: Are you suited for reality TV?
Reality TV fans may be getting a dose of Wisconsin culture soon with a show focused on Wisconsin's faithful football fans. Apparently producers from the Style Network were in Green Bay on Friday looking for the most vivacious Cheeseheads to cast for a pilot to be filmed by the end of the year.
Packers wives are currently featured in "The Better Half" on WLUK-TV (Channel 11) in five Wisconsin TV markets, but the NBCUniversal-owned Style Network would bring Packer pride to a cable TV audience on the heels of shows like "Jerseylicious" and "Big Rich Texas." »Read Full Blog Post(3)

- Music legend David Bowie dead at 69
Fans of influential British singer-songwriter David Bowie paid tribute Monday, snapping up his latest album and hits shortly after the 69-year-old music legend died from cancer.
Bowie's album "Black Star," which was released last week on his birthday, skyrocketed to No. 1 on iTunes' top albums and Amazon's best sellers in CDs and vinyl, surpassing Adele's "25."
Four of Bowie's albums ranked high on iTunes' top albums Monday and fans were also downloading his 1960s song "Space Oddity" and music videos for hits such as "Let's Dance," "As the World Falls Down," and "Dancing in the Street."
Record sales also climbed for such iconic musicians as Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Bob Marley after their deaths, but with fans downloading or streaming music online, the postmortem earnings for Bowie came in an instant.
"The motivation for people to listen and watch is one thing, but the accessibility is the big change we see," said music industry analyst Bob Lefsetz. "If you have the urge, you can watch, buy and listen because we have unlimited inventory."
Streams of Bowie's music surged 2,700 percent since late Sunday night, according to Spotify. As of Monday afternoon, "Under Pressure," "Space Oddity" and "Let's Dance" were his most-streamed songs on the website.
The value of a painting jumps after an artist's death and television networks run film marathons after an actor dies, but the consumption of music, Lefsetz noted, is a different experience -- like sitting in a living room and hearing a person tell you their hopes, fears and dreams through song.
"On a funeral, everyone rallies around the identity of the person who died, but when you come to music these people are icons who fill a hole in people's lives," he said. "Somebody once put it to me. Movies when done right are larger than life. Music when done right is life itself."
Business magazine Forbes expects that Bowie will make its annual list of the top-earning dead celebrities in 2016.
Jackson, the King of Pop who died in 2009, topped that list in 2015, earning $115 million that year and more than $1 billion before taxes since his death. Elvis Presley came in second, followed by "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz, reggae legend Bob Marley and actress Elizabeth Taylor.
Joshua Rubenstein, who heads the trusts and estates practice at Katten Muchin Rosenman in New York, said in an email that when an artist dies the demand for their work generally goes up because fans know that another album, movie or painting will not get created.
"In the music world, as opposed to the art world, that post-death fervor tends to die down after a few years, since musical tastes evolve so rapidly and there is usually an ever evolving stream of musical artists in the deceased artist's particular genre," he said.
Only time will tell how long Bowie's postmortem sales will last, said Rubenstein, who noted he was a big fan of the artist.
Since 1991, Bowie has sold 7.4 million albums in the United States, according to Nielsen Music. His digital track sales totaled 6.7 million nationwide plus an additional 2 million sales of the 1980s hit "Under Pressure," which was recorded by Queen and Bowie. Streams of his music reached 207.8 million through Dec. 31.
Emails to Pandora Media about the streaming of Bowie's music on Monday were not immediately returned.
As fans mourned Bowie's death, though, his life was clearly more than just about the sales he generated, even for those who track those numbers.
After hearing the news, Dave Bakula, senior vice president of analytics and client development for Nielsen Entertainment, wrote in a tweet that Bowie's "influence and contribution are beyond measurement."

(thats where most people get lured in with a post card.) I have made a very nice income for myself over the years but recently i have wittnessed thigs that are just plain mind blowing.
Lying to people is how we make money, thats a given, its a challenge,i have always thrived on, getting the person whos throwing a fit in the lobby, and winning them over..getting there money.
Racism is so heavy in our office, the majority of our perspective owners are black folks from chicago, Our "director" kindly refers to them as monkeys.
We have one black girl in the office who lives with a "closer" and they are the butt of everyones nasty jokes. We are taught to get the money - my any means neccessary.
Ive seen sales people forge "official documents" its such a game, everyone turns a blind eye to all the illegal goings on, in order to keep there jobs, ive seen people who make 3000$ a week pay checks get fired for not following the group! You cannot challenge the authority of our "director" in any way or he will fire you.
We recycle our clients, on an average people who already own a time share are marked to come into member services every 35 days or so and we talk them into buying more, even if they purchased 10 days ago, we tell them they have been ripped off the rep who sold it to them and we get more money to give them what they really need.
The welcome center is called the "out house" and mwmber services is called "in house, yes its the same company, the buildings are right next door to each other, but we play devils advocate against each other at the expense of the consumer.
The director at member sevices makes roughly 400,000.00$ a year, to teach people how to manipulate peoples emotions, thats alot of money folks, A good closer( the guy who comes in at the end and pressures you) if hes good he can make 200,000. A good rep can clear 100,000.00 a year all based on how good they are at lying.
if you ever get a postcard in the mail, throw it out!! You do not want to get tangled up with this company or the people in charge. I dont know how they manage not to get closed down by the state? Its a scam people and im sorry to admit that i have had alot of nice vacations, a thick bank account and an endless supply of expensive suits at your expense.

I questioned them, they claim the dealership and manager wasn't looking at my credit report right. They accuse me of lying about every point I have made and lies they have been caught in.
I requested a detailed summary of my account from 2006 til now, including all payments and how they were applied. I am still waiting on it! I looked online and found 8 payments which 100% of my payment went to interest, and 0 to the principal. The amount applied to interest has varied drastically. There are late fee's applied to almost every month, when my payments were coming out of my checking by autopay(no way they were late). When I changed banks, I started sending money via Money Gram. Citi lost 1 payment which I mailed a money order, even though it was cashed they claim they didn't get it. That is how I switched to paying with Money Gram. They are extremely rude, the account "Managers" can't answer a simple question when confronted over the credit report and the difference in the payments posted that they are shhowing. Their excuse was " I have no idea what he was looking at as I can't access that personal information" when I asked them about the credit report. I never received a notice that they had transferred my account from Citi to Santander. It's a big cluster!

K.; Tan, Chee-Wee The maturing of Web 2.0 infrastructure fosters the rapid generation and dissemination of electronic wordof- mouth (e-WOM). The abundance of e-WOM allows online service providers to facilitate consumers' trust building. However, due to the often coexistence of two forms of e-WOM, namely numerical rating and opinionated review, consumers can perceive cognitive dissonance between the former and the latter. This cognitive dissonance can hinder the formation of consumers' trust and compel them to resolve the conflict. Guided by confirmation bias theory, we propose that, to maintain trusting beliefs when experiencing dissonance in e-WOM, male consumers value opinionated review over numerical rating and vice versa for their female counterparts. The results of our field survey on a custom developed website with 115 college students empirically validated our hypothesized relationships and also unveiled male's general bias towards opinionated review. Our findings can contribute to both research and practice. 2016-01-25T00:00:00Z Online Anti-Brand Herds Langley, David J.

The online environment offers a fertile breeding ground for anti-brand herds of disgruntled consumers. Firms are often caught off guard by the unpredictability of such herds and, as a consequence, are forced into a reactive, defensive stance. We conduct a social media analysis that aims to shed light on the formation, growth, and dissolution of online anti-brand herds. First we expand on the concept of environmental turbulence to advance core properties unique to online herd behavior. Next, based on evidence gathered from 40 online anti-brand herd episodes targeting two prominent firms from the Netherlands, we develop an analytical model to investigate drivers of herd formation, growth, and dissolution. Finally, combining environmental turbulence literature with our empirical findings, we derive a novel typology of online anti-brand herd behaviors, and put forward six propositions to guide theory development in this area. 2016-01-25T00:00:00Z Towards A Research Agenda on Digital Platform Disruption Kazan, Erol Tan, Chee-Wee Lim, Eric T.

Digital platforms are disruptive IT artifacts, because they facilitate the quick release of innovative platform derivatives from third parties. This study endeavors to unravel the disruptive potential, caused by distinct designs and configurations of digital platforms on market environments. We postulate that the disruptive potential of digital platforms is determined by the degree of alignment among the business, technology and platform profiles. Furthermore, we argue that the design and configuration of the aforementioned three elements dictates the extent to which open innovation is permitted. To shed light on the disruptive potential of digital platforms, we opted for digital payment platforms as our unit of analysis. Through interviews with experts and payment providers, we seek to gain an in-depth appreciation of how contemporary digital payment platforms are designed and configured to foster open innovation. We envision that this study bridges existing knowledge gaps between digital platform and open innovation literature. 2016-01-25T00:00:00Z Building a Social Newsroom Zimmerman, Christopher J.

Hi all,
One of my clients recently upgraded his site to WP 3.3 and since that time whenever an administrator is logged into the website, ALL visitors to the site see the Admin bar.
We have tried creating a new administrator account, but the error keeps returning. The real issue is that the admin bar is functional. So if my client is logged in to the website I can simultaneously go to the website on my computer and see the Admin bar and make changes to the website.
Is anyone else having this serious error? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Name at birth: Natasha ObamaSasha Obama is the younger daughter of U.S. president Barack Obama. Her formal name is Natasha, but she is most often called by her nickname, Sasha. She was born in 2001 to Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, who were married in 1992. Sasha Obama has one older sister, Malia, who was born in 1998. Both girls attended the private University of Chicago Laboratory Schools in Chicago until January of 2009, when they began attending Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C. Sasha Obama entered the fourth grade in 2010. Her father became president on 20 January 2009, and in 2012 he was re-elected for a second four-year term as president. She will be 15 years old at the end of Barack Obama's second term in 2017.
Sasha Obama's day of birth has been variously reported as June 7th, 8th, and 10th. We believe June 10th is correct, based on a 10 June 2008 blog post by Washington Post reporter Howard Kurtz, in which he quotes Barack Obama as telling a hospital patient's mother that "today is the 7th birthday of his daughter Sasha"… The White House announced in 2016 that Sasha's sister Malia would attend Harvard University in 2017, after first taking a gap year… Sasha Obama worked briefly at a summer job at Nancy's, a seafood restaurant in Martha's Vineyard, during the Obama family's summer vacation there in 2016. The Boston Herald reported that her jobs included "working a cash register, busing tables and prepping the restaurant before it opens for lunch."

RailRoad Square is known for it's artistic appeal but now it's adding something brand new to Tallahassee.
We're talking about a new building made from recycled steel shipping containers.
The architect says, since the containers are being recycled this makes the building Tallahassee's first total GREEN building and first of it's kind in the Southeast.
The building will be five floors and used for shops, restaurants, cafes, art studios, office's and residential living.
Craig Huffman, the architect says, "This project is going to be a state of the art project. It's going to be a new standard in terms of green architecture, in terms of mixed use. It's really going to be an exciting place in Tallahassee."
RailRoad square's owner says, he is planning on breaking ground for this project in about 3 months.

Skill Level Appropriate for all
In this exercise I am going to show you how to scale and rotate objects. Both scaling and rotating are known as transformations, and I mentioned that because I'll also be showing you how to create a transformation sequence, in which you either scale or rotate as well as duplicate objects in order to create automated regular results. I am working inside this file called Dawn Patrol.ai, and our job is to create that Dawn Patrol sticker. Notice you can see the words Dawn Patrol. This is live editable text, by the way, that's set in Stencil Standard Bold.
If you don't have that font available to you, you can try out a different font instead. Now, a couple of different ways to transform objects inside of Illustrator; one is to take advantage of the Bounding Box. So if you go up to the View menu and choose Show Bounding Box so that you can see it on screen, then you'll see the text inside of a rectangle and the rectangle features corner and side handles. If you drag one of these corner handles, not surprisingly you'll stretch the text. If you want to scale the text proportionally, you press the Shift key as you drag.
You need to make sure you keep that Shift key down throughout the length of the drag until after you release the Mouse button. In order to scale the text, you would position your cursor very close to one of the corner handles until you see that Rotate Cursor, and then just go ahead and drag in order to rotate. I've got to tell you, I don't like the Bounding Box very much, it doesn't provide you with sufficient controls and there are better ways to work. Let me show you. I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac a couple of times.
Then I'll go up to the View menu and I'll choose Hide Bounding Box in order to get rid of that Bounding Box so I can better see what I'm doing. Illustrator provides two fantastic dedicated tools for scaling and rotating, and they are these; we've got the Scale tool and we've got the Rotate tool. I am going to start by rotating the text, so I'll go ahead and click on the Rotate tool. You can also press the R key if you like. Notice that little target right there. That represents the transformation origin; it will probably show up as Cyan on your screen.
I've set things so it shows up as Black here in the video. This is the point around which you will perform your rotation or scaling, or what have you. I'm going to go ahead and click in the bottom-left corner of this P in order to move the transformation origin to that location, and now I'll move my cursor fairly far away from that origin point. That just provides me with more control, by the way, and now I will drag in order to rotate that text. And Rotation value of about 21.5 degrees works out actually really, really nicely.
And again, if you want to get it exactly right, then you need to move your cursor fairly far away, like so. Notice this far way I can get it 21.5 degrees exactly, awesome! The reason that distance helps you out is because if you're very close to your text, small movements are going to produce big results, but if you're far away from that origin point, then small movements are going to produce tiny results, and that's really what you want. Now I am going to switch over to the Scale tool which you can get by pressing the S key.
When working with the Scale tool, you want to position your cursor diagonally from that origin point. So either up into the left or down into the left, down into the right, or up into the right. I am going to go with up into the right. The reason you want to be diagonal from the origin point, is so that you can scale both the height and width of your selected object at the same time. When you drag away from the origin point, you increase the size of the object; when you drag toward the origin point, you reduce the size of the object. Presumably, we want to scale this text proportionately, so press and hold the Shift key as you drag, and I want to scale the letters by about 176% is what I am looking for, and that looks close enough right there.
I can see 176.05 inside that gray Smart Guides box and that looks very good. I will press the Down Arrow key in order to nudge the letters down, and that takes care of the text. The sticker in the background is something of a mess. I want to show you how to build that too. So I am going to switch over to my Selection tool, and I'm going to click right there on that smaller circle, so notice I have a small circle, and a big circle. I want to replicate the smaller circle around the outside of the big circle. I can see if I hover on the big circle, actually I will click on it for a moment to make it active.
You can see that the center of that circle is right there in the bottom-right corner of that serif that's coming off the T in Patrol. So I will just remember that. Now, I'll go ahead and select my smaller circle once again, and I'll grab my Rotate tool, and I'll click at the center of the big circle in order to set the transformation origin at that location, and now notice, as I drag, I am rotating that smaller circle all the way around the perimeter of the larger one. Now, I am going to press the Shift key as I drag because I want to constrain the angle of my rotation to a multiple of 45 degrees and I can see that's what I've got right there in that gray box.
I'll also press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, and that will ensure that I copy the circle as I rotate it. So I've got both the Shift and Alt keys down, the Shift and Option keys down on the Mac, release and you create a duplicate of that circle. Now, I want to create a bunch more duplicate, six in all, and I'm going to do that using a great trick that's available from the Object menu. So go up to the Object menu, click on it, then click the word Transform, and you'll see this command Transform Again, that has a keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+D or Command+D on the Mac. Why D? D for Duplicate; so I am going to go ahead and choose that command, and notice, I'll zoom out a click here.
We've created a small circle at the top of the big one, and now I am just going to press Ctrl+D or Command+D on the Mac, a total of five times in order to rotate little circles all the way around the big one. All right! I am going to press the V key to switch back to the Black Arrow tool. One of my smaller circles is selected. In order to select all of the shapes that have the same combination of fill and stroke, I'll go up to my Select Similar Objects option here in the Control panel, click the down-pointing arrowhead, and choose All and that selects all those objects.
Now I want to combine them, using a feature that we haven't seen so far. So rather than taking advantage of the Shape Builder tool and trying to drag through all of these selected objects, I'm going to take a simpler approach that involves the Pathfinder panel. So go up to the Window menu and choose Pathfinder in order to bring up this panel of icons all of which allow you to combine objects together. So we're going to start with this guy right here, Unite, which will fuse all these path outlines into one big hyper circle path, as you're seeing right there.
You just click on it, you don't have to Alt or Option+Click. And then finally, I want to crop these yellow wavy stripes inside of the big multi-circle blob. And so with the multi-circle shape selected, I will go up to the Edit menu and choose the Copy command. Then I will click on one of those wavy stripes in order to make it active, and I'll go to the Edit menu and choose Paste in Front or press Ctrl+F, Command+F on the Mac. So I now have a copy of this guy sitting in front of the stripes. I will Shift+Click on one of the stripes to select all of them because they're grouped together, and now I will crop the stripes inside of the forward shape by clicking on this icon right there, the Crop icon at the bottom of the Pathfinder panel, and the deed is done.
That's all it takes. Now I will go ahead and close the Pathfinder panel, click off the shape, and that folks, is how you scale and rotate objects with precision here inside Illustrator.
