Thank you, Kids Against Hunger Volunteers!
On March 7, 2015, several Troop 96 scouts, parents and family members participated in the Grosse Pointe Memorial Church's "Kids Against Hunger" campaign, with the goal to produce 150,000 meal bags in two days! On our first day, we did break the halfway mark, putting together over 76,000 bags!
These bags will be crated up and sent to organizations that feed the hungry, both locally and around the world. This was a fun and exciting event, and dozens of people from the community came to help out. It was nice to see all the T96'ers there.
If you couldn't make it on the 7th, you have another chance on March 21, from 8:30 – 4:00! We especially need help in the early morning, to unload the truck! Scouts! Come get your service hours! You need them for rank advancement, and besides, it's a worthwhile cause.

The University of Scouting is packed with a year's worth of fun, program ideas, and information. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to meet and share ideas with Scouters from throughout the Great Lakes Field Service Council.
Flag Ceremony- September 27, 2014
On Saturday, September 27th, Troop 96 participated in a very nice American flag retirement ceremony with the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). We had a beautiful day at Pier Park for the ceremony and the intimate crowd was very moved by the respectful treatment of our national flag.
As part of the ceremony, The scouts marched in, said the Pledge of Allegiance and read The American Creed. For one flag, they performed a complete procedure, cutting the flag into red and white strips and reading passages about America, as they dropped them one by one into the fire. They also sang "God Bless America" and Jason Doss played "Taps" on the trumpet. It was all very moving and patriotic.
Boys, you all did Troop 96 proud!
Scout Volunteers needed for "Legends of Le Detroit"
I have a great volunteer opportunity for all Troop 96 scouts. "Legends of Le Detroit" is performed by the Grosse Pointe Historical Society on Friday, September 26th. The rain date is Saturday, September 27th. It will be a the Provencal Weir House, located at 376 Kercheval Ave. It starts at 7:30 PM so volunteers should arrive before 7:00 PM.
We need scouts to escort people to their seats and help them with their chairs. We anticipate 75 people so I think 5 scouts would be perfect.
Please respond to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible so I can get a head count to GPHS. They look forward to scouts from Troop 96 coming to help each year. It is a great performance to watch!
Thank you,
Matthew Fleckenstein

Stephen E. Asmus
Steve Asmus is H.W. Stodghill, Jr. and Adele H. Stodghill Professor of Biology and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology. He has taught in the biology and biochemistry/molecular biology programs since 1996. He received the Kirk Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2001, and was named a Centre Scholar in 2011. Prior to joining the college, he held a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Neurosciences at Case Western Reserve University.
Asmus has special expertise in the field of developmental neurobiology, which focuses on how the brain develops. He describes his research as a study of the development of neurons, which are specialized types of cells found in the nervous system. The neurons produce chemicals known as neurotransmitters that make it possible for the neurons to communicate with each other.
Asmus is interested in how neurons produce the correct neurotransmitter during development. He has analyzed the neurotransmitters produced in developing sympathetic neurons, addressing the question of whether different target tissues influence this "decision" process during development.
Currently, Asmus is studying the neurotransmitters that are produced in the cerebral cortex of the developing and adult brain to examine whether some cortical neurons may change the neurotransmitter that they produce as they mature. Asmus uses a variety of cell staining and microscopy techniques in his laboratory research.
Asmus encourages Centre students to collaborate with him on research. His recent collaborators include Spencer Overstreet '16 (biochemistry and molecular biology), Nick Rauh '15 (biochemistry and molecular biology), and Barrie Schmidt '15 (biology).
Asmus has published his research in journals including Brain Research (2008 and 2011), Developmental Biology (1997 and 2001) and the Journal of Neuroscience (2000). The Brain Research and Journal of Neuroscience papers were co-authored with numerous student collaborators.
Asmus earned a B.S. degree from Cleveland State University and a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, and conducted a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience at Case Western Reserve University before coming to Centre.

Laurence S. Bitensky
Larry Bitensky is W. George Matton Professor of Music at Centre where he teaches composition, music theory, musicianship, and world music. He was named a Centre Scholar in 2012.
Known for music described as "extraordinarily sensitive and beautiful" and "speaking directly to the heart," composer and pianist Bitensky has been hailed for works that are satisfying for performers and communicative to audiences. With their emotional intensity, directness, lyrical and sinuous melodies, and funky, polyrhythmic grooves, his works range from wistfully nostalgic, deeply sad, and evocative, to exuberant, playful, and ecstatic.
Educated at Skidmore College, the New England Conservatory of Music, Ithaca College, and Cornell University, Bitensky's musical personality is rooted in a range of influences. He often seeks to merge the complex structures and expressive range of the classical masters and the innovations of the 20th-century greats with the melodic and rhythmic invention and improvisatory flow of musical traditions from India, Indonesia, the Islamic and Jewish worlds, jazz, and the Grateful Dead. His travels as part of the College's study abroad program have also allowed him to explore the musical cultures of Morocco, Spain, Turkey, and Bali.
Bitensky first came to national and international attention with a series of works inspired by Jewish musical tradition and culture. In these he developed a free, quasi-improvisatory lyricism and melodic richness that has become one of his signatures. These works include the award-winning Mishb'rey Yam, a song cycle based on Hebrew texts of the great medieval poet Yehudah Halevi; "…a perfect rest," an orchestral rhapsody based on the traditional Jewish memorial chant; Awake, You Sleepers!, a concerto for trumpet and wind ensemble based on the sounds of the shofar; and Rapture, a piano work based on Chasidic folk melodies.
He has also received attention for works based on his long association with world-renowned trumpeter Vince DiMartino. These include Awake, You Sleepers!, described as "one of the finest additions to the trumpet and wind ensemble repertoire to date;" the polyrhythmic, jazz-infused "From those beginning notes of yearning," for trumpet and piano; and the comic and macabre The Other Side, for trumpet and chamber ensemble.
A pianist since the age of six, Bitensky's music is rooted in his sense of what is gratifying for a performer. He regularly returns to the piano as a source of renewal, and he has made numerous contributions to the contemporary piano literature. These include the brooding and melancholy The Alchemy of Solitude, the colorful and varied From the Corner Room, the poetic Scent of the World We Gave Up, Rapture, Shouts and Murmurs, and others.
Bitensky's works have been recognized by numerous foundations and institutions: the Fromm Foundation, the Omaha Symphony, the New England Philharmonic, the Saint Mary's University Kaplan Commissioning Project, the Big Ten Band Commission, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, the Columbia Orchestra, Jabez Press, the ASCAP Foundation Rudolf Nissim Award, the Kentucky Arts Council, the Music Teachers National Association, the Kentucky Music Teachers Association, the American Music Center, the Joyce Dutka Arts Foundation, the Friends and Enemies of New Music, the International Trumpet Guild, the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles, the Modern Chamber Players, the Harrid Conservatory, the Society of Composers, Inc., Duquesne University New Music Ensemble, Ensemble X, and the ASCAP Foundation Young Composers Competition.
Recorded on Mark Records and Sea Breeze Vista records, Bitensky's music has been performed by numerous ensembles and at various festivals around North America, Europe, and Asia. His music is published by Silly Black Dog Music.

text: ~ Old school metal from RI. Formed in 2005. RHODE KILL formerly known as the band AGONIZER, hail from the smallest state in the U.S.A. Ironically or......not, there is nothing 'small' about this three piece band's skull shattering "shotgun to the head" sound. Victor and Fague had previously played together over the past 17 years in various line-ups. Combining forces with Marco Leva and Matt 'Dr. Riff' Chabot in 2005, they welded two different generations of metal music to form a cohesive "black" hole, which they labeled........"Power Rock" . Chabot moved to Florida in 2009, but the band continued on as a three piece.Then in June of 2013, Joshua McLaughlin was added to the ranks as a second guitarist. Their music is as uncompromising as their riffs. Combining punishing thrash and blues based leads with a metallic, dino-punkish rhythm section. They continue to forge their way through the punk metal landscape. ~

I'm using a modified TwentyTen theme on my blog. When an image is inserted using the visual editor and the image has a caption the editor text entry position is at the end of the caption rather than just after the image. So, if you start typing your text is added after the caption, if you add another image the second image appears inside the box containing the first image with some very nasty visual effects. Is this the normal behaviour? I would have thought that, after inserting an image captioned or un-captioned, the text entry point should be outside and after the box containing the image.
I hadn't noticed this until my wife added a blog entry and asked me to proof read it. We have different writing styles and I'm not sure what I normally do that has caused me not to see this before.
Despite joining this forum I've been running a WordPress blog on either a self hosted machine, or a commercial hosted service but my installation, for several years. I normally don't ask for help but this has me stumped!

Mother, son learn about life together
Published: Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 12:18 a.m.
It seems like just yesterday that I found myself clutching a little blue bundle and wondering what the heck I had gotten myself into.
I still recall the uncertainty and the apprehension I felt as I stared down at those big blue eyes, that tiny nose and that tuft of blonde hair.
Why on earth would anyone, I thought to myself, entrust me with something as fragile and vulnerable as this baby boy?
It was a thought I would have often over the ensuing decades.
That baby boy celebrated his 21st birthday last week. Today hes a man-child with a world of talent, ambition and dreams who turned out way better than anyone expected, considering the inexperience of the woman who raised him.
I was just 20 when the boy, my oldest child, came into this world on a snowy February day.
I said then, as I often do now, that hell must have frozen over. My family thought I was joking, but I viewed it as the only reasonable explanation for the dual facts that the ground outside was covered with white fluff and I was about to be a mother.
Mother Nature must have been trying to tell me something, I reason now, because the havoc that resulted some because of the bitter cold and falling snow and some because of the flurry of activity that surrounded Boy Wonders arrival was a foreshadowing of the harried life I would live as my brood grew.
I missed the snow of 1988, busying myself first with the busted water pipe in the rented apartment I then occupied. It started falling as I finished cleaning the mess, a chore that ended about the time my labor began.
I was living in Gulfport, Miss., then, a distance that was close enough for my folks, who lived in Houma, to get there ahead of the arrival of their first grandchild under most circumstances.
The snowfall, however, complicated matters immensely.
The roads were fast closing between here and there, but my parents, particularly my mother, were determined to be on hand when their bundle of joy arrived.
They got on the road immediately, pausing just long enough to pick up the muffuletta this south Louisiana girl demanded, and headed east as police closed the Interstate close behind them.
Gramgram and Grandaddy, as theyd come to be called, arrived about the same time our little blessing did.
The boy was perfect in every way, we decided, a position I wavered from a few times during those awful teenage years but one that Ive ultimately decided was right on target.
He had the misfortune of landing in my arms, a child myself with no clue how to decipher his cries, care for his needs or guide him through life.
As an oldest child myself, I had no nieces or nephews to practice on.
And my pathetic attempts at baby-sitting the diaper set often involved my own mom, who Id call for help when the going got rough.
I was in no way equipped to handle an infant, especially one whose well-being was entirely dependent on me.
But we lucked out.
He proved tough, bouncing back after stunts like falling head-first from a shopping cart onto a concrete floor, slicing his scalp open on a chain-link fence, chugging half a bottle of moms perfume and a heart-stopping episode in which he choked for what seemed like eternity on a gumball all episodes, Im sure, that would have been avoided if hed had a more experienced mother.
Other than a childhood ailment or two he also proved to be a healthy child, sparing me the headache of doctor visits, having to take time off work or spend sleepless hours worrying at his bedside.
Hes a smart boy, always has been.
And so, instead of me teaching him, he taught me.
It was from him that I learned patience.
It was through his eyes that I learned to see the beauty in a flower, a rock and a crayon-scribbled love note.
He taught me about frogs and trees, trucks and trains.
He reminded me that its exciting to learn, grow and explore.
It was he who stressed the importance of taking time to enjoy the simple things in life, like sharing a glass of sweet tea on a neighbors porch, playing with a rambunctious puppy or casting a line in a pond, regardless of whether fish were in it.
He taught me to trust unquestionably and love unerringly.
To start the day with a smile and end it with a good-night kiss.
He taught me to be a mom.

Shelby, Ohio (AP) -- A mayor has vetoed a proposal that would have required a city council in Ohio to start meetings with a prayer.
Shelby mayor Bill Freytag told the council in an e-mail that he took the action Wednesday on the advice of the city's law director, who felt the ordinance was unconstitutional.
The measure was approved 3-2 earlier this month by council members in the city of 49,000 about 65 miles north of Columbus.
Supporters pointed out that the Ohio legislature and the U.S. Congress open sessions with a prayer.
The mayor noted that the proposal had been the subject of much debate and had resulted in numerous phone calls and letters to his office, some from outside the area.
The city council may try to override the veto, which would require a vote of 4-1.

The stock is down almost 40% off it's highs. The Street has already priced in the bad news. The basher's will keep telling us the sky is still falling but if your short you only doing your job. The bad news for shareholders at this point is that rates are headed up and that we will have to sit at this level for a while but as a RSLN shareholder I am used to it. As a Rsln shareholder it was like watching grass grow or paint dry.Long Island doesn't need any new banks. If Washington Mutual wants to get into the Long Island market they need to buy NYB and it's 141 branches. I don't why Commerce is building branches on Long Island when they can buy a company like NYB.I just bought back in today and a takeover is possible. I don't mind sitting with NYB beacause I know the dividend is safe. I can't see NYB buying anyone until they get their house in order and by the time they get their house in order they may be bought out.
BAC is cheap too, but my family is overweight in their stock now. No need to add more to it. BAC is still down from the fleet merger, which they over paid for Fleet. If you both a PE of 13-15 on a bank stock, then BAC would get a lot more than $84. EPS of $7 would get you 91-105. Banks pay out a lot of EPS in div. You can be assured of high % of your earnings being paid out in cash and the rest being reinvested at good ROE rates. I think the kicker for NYB is the ROE, but the draw back is the huge price/bv. Earnings/net tangible assets is out of this world. That is very nice. It is over stated due to nice bank enivornment of the past few years. Things going for NYB1. Nice div yield, which is safe in MHO2. EPS will be $3ish after the MBS runs off. 3. Management is very shareholder friendly. Everyone is pissed about the 40% drop in stock price. Yet a lot of shareholder friendly stocks get punished with bad news. That doesnt mean management isnt fight for shareholder value. I seem to remember a bad time in early 2000 of a stock you know about, but management still returned value to holders.4. The New York market is a nice market to be in and those branchs are worth money that isnt on the balance sheet. A buyout if it ever happened would get nice premium to IV assuming no MBS problems. MBS problems look to hurt bid to being around 90% IV, which sucks for control. Basicly I dont see why market is doing what it is doing, but the market screws up a lot. I am heavy invested in NYB, and only Berkshire is larger.One more thing. NYB was priced at forward PE of 18 earlier this year. Now it is priced at forward PE 10(that is with lower earnings est)So say it takes 5 years to run the MBS off. 3EPSX18 would be a $54 with div over those five years. That is a very rosy valuation, but unrosy valuations will still give a great return.I keep looking at the data and dont see a long term problem save another large bad investment. On that note, I dont see where they have any funds to invest badly right now otherwise they would try to dilute the MBS damage to NIM.SWUSC
They are not guarranteed therefore not safe. In NYB's case the div may be in place thru this year considering they just upped it. But in this coming environment where interest rates will eat up EPS going forward, NYB will not be smart to pay out more in Div's than it earns. Why? because if it does, all it's doing is reducing the price of the stock by what it paysout over what it earns. Another words it's smoke and mirrors not to mention poor business. If NYB is credible and wants to remain credible, at that juncture it will have to reduce div. And make no mistake the market will react positive to the news.
How do you know the dividend is safe? Why don't you share your analysis.I would love to hear from anyone about this.
The reason the dividend is safe is the coverage of earnings is high enough to cover it. The paper loss on the MBS is just that a paper loss. The rates increase with the MBS postion is going to hurt NIM, yet the paper loss will workout to net zero. It is the same as if you had the MBS---you get the interest and your money back. The problem is that MBS bought them with borrowed money---borrowed at short term rates. So if short term rates go above 4% then MBS lose money. Profitablity is going to be hurt anyway since NIM and gains sales of loans(which also drops with rising rates) need to cover bank expense.SWUSC
This company is always talking about shareholder value and as a RSLN shareholder they always stressed the importance of the dividend and stock buybacks. Rsln was so proud each quarter when they raised the dividend. I am sorry I have not run any number's on the company's losses but knowing the management of this company I just can't see them touching the dividend. They will try to save the dividend and a cut would be a last resort. I would be shocked if they cut the dividend and a dividend cut is not priced in the stock.This post as all my posts are my opinion.

Close to 60 percent of Georgia's public school students receive either free or reduced lunch.
That's about 47,000 more than there were five years ago and experts believe there are even more families in need.
Across the United States over 20 million students participate in the program.
Experts believe this increase is a result of the recession.

About MeHello, due to health problems I am no longer taking assignments of any kind. Thank you to all the photographers that I have had the pleasure to work with.
Rachelle Eastman
Hi all, I have finally been properly diagnosed and have recently started treatment for hypothyroidism. The symptoms have put a lot of pressure on my body. I gained 50 pounds, lost hair, had very little energy, sleep problems, muscle aches and pains,feeling cold all the time,depression and anxiety to name a few. I have never in my life felt so defeated and ugly. I saw four doctors over two years to finally get the proper treatment. I am now on the mend, I'm working hard to get my body back to what it used to be and I hope I can start modelling again by the summer.
Take Care,

'Memphis' finds its rhythm at the Marcus Center
The storyline in "Memphis," on stage at the Marcus Center through Sunday, goes like this.
A high school dropout named Huey Calhoun - white - stumbles downstairs into a seedy African-American club in 1950s Memphis. Huey has been drawn there by the voice of Felicia Farrell - an equally young singer. Huey falls hard, as he already had for rhythm and blues. »Read Full Article

$100,000 Marcus Prize given to Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto
Every two years, the Milwaukee-based Marcus Corporation Foundation awards a $100,000 prize to an emerging talent in the field of architecture. Next to the Pritzker Prize, perhaps the field's most prestigious award, it is one of the most lucrative architectural prizes in the world today.
It's also far less predictable, generally. Unlike the Pritzker, which tends to go to an architectural heavyweight for a life's work, the Marcus Prize is designed honor designers on the rise and requires only a decade of exceptional leadership in the field. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
A haunted 'Hamlet' harrows Spring Green stage
SpringGreen — With its searching soliloquies and deep-water exploration of why we're all here, "Hamlet" is Shakespeare's great poem unlimited. But at its core, "Hamlet" is also the story of a young man confronting the unexpected loss of his father and the meaning of mortality — in a darkening, fallen world where neither fathers nor their principles are long remembered.
The great strength of director John Langs' much-anticipated "Hamlet" — a three-hour, thirty minute affair now on stage in American Players Theatre's Up-the-Hill amphitheater — is its focus on the relationship between the young prince (Matt Schwader) and his murdered father (James Pickering), whose ghostly presence haunts this production from its beginning until the very end. »Read Full Article

Affluent Lifestyle Guide
In an incident that sounds eerily similar to one that occurred in a New York Starbucks recently, two shoppers in a Washington DC Safeway grocery store were subjected to the use of a gay slur by a store employee and half-hearted attempts to investigate the incident.
On June 11, Jason Morgan and his partner Brendan Harrington walked into their local Safeway to buy dinner. They were putting their groceries on the conveyer belt when the cashier said, "Oh God, they're f****ts." The two men asked her to repeat what she said, thinking they must have misheard her, and she repeated the slur. They eventually located an assistant manager, but were told there was nothing to do.
A day later the men received a call from the assistant manager saying, "We're really sorry about what happened, but we're still trying to figure out how to handle it."
Safeway issued a formal apology to the couple several days later. "We value everybody as a customer and we want everyone to feel welcome at Safeway regardless of their ethnicity, [or] whatever the case may be. We're here to serve people and that should be our only task." Meanwhile, a local neighbor tracked down the cashier and obtained a brief apology from her (seen below).
Shortly afterward, the company issued a second statement and announced the employee had been fired.
What do you think of this incident? Should Safeway have done more?

Transfer Policy??
I'm not sure what the 'policy' will be, and I just hope that the purchase(s) we have made or are in the process of negotiating did have some input from AVB.
The 'youth' policy seems to be something that Levy appears to favour and seemed to be the way under Comolli - but I think that is for financial rather than footballing reasons (ie it's normally cheaper to buy the unfinished article and 'older' tend players have less resale value than a player in their peak years - so buy young talent, enhance/improve and sell at a profit).
'Arry strayed away from that policy - whether that was due to financial constraints (ie money wasn't readily available for anything more expensive) or other reasons (ie 'arry buying to fix issues), who knows? As stated before, I personally think that was the main source of concern between Levy et al and 'arry and was the main reason for 'arry going - but that is conjecture.
IMHO, I don't care what the policy is, as long as the 'team' and squad works. If AVB can get a team of U24's to perform, fine by me ... if he wants a team of over 27's, fine by me ... if he wants a mix, fine by me. As long as he gets the team to play and achieve.

sig looks a decent signing. nothing special but a good young player who can score from long range.
for the 1st time in years we can look foward to free kicks on the edge of the box, knowing their is a decent chance we might score!
id sell huddlestone to fulham as i hear jol wants a reunion, if only to have someone to take to all u can eat buffets.
id let khum,jenas,gomes,bentley & gallas go.
sign vert to replace gallas. he can also cover at LB.
caulker has extended his contract so he can be replacement for nelson. try to sign ade if he lowers his wage demand to the same level as our highest earner.
sign amos or butland. both promising young english keepers to take over from friedel.
A johnson or redmond to compete with lennon & cover for all his hamstring & groin tweeks!
id say baines at LB but sounds like everton want a lot for him.
& if we can sign vert, he can play there too.
but id still try to get him!
to replace modric,moutinho looks like the 1 avb wants.
heard good things about him from pundits,other board members & fans. played well in the EUROs.
hopefully defoe will get some more game time now that arry has gone, & with it the "VDV is untouchable spell".
hopefully when "easy as AVB" see's VDV crawling all 4s, he will take him off especially when u have our most likely goalscorer sat on the bench. for some reason harry seemed scared to take him off in a lot of games.
friedel(last season as 1st choice thou!)
walker dawson vert baines/e...e...ekotto (hard to say!)
lennon parker moutinho bale

Is that right SB? I looked and VDV only played 90 minutes in 10 games out of 40 (35 starts) played last season - averaged about 70 minutes per game. A similar figure as the season before ( 36 games, 36 starts, 14 games of 90 minutes, averaged 76 minutes). Doesn't that mean that 'arry substituted him in roughly two thirds of the games?

The program is called Lights! Camera! Action!
On Monday, students at one elementary school in eastern Kentucky took a break from math and science to learn how technology is used to make television and movies.
With the help of an outside production company, students at Evarts Elementary School had the opportunity to see how television and movies are made.
The schools principal Connie Baker says staying on the cutting edge of technology is vital to her students future success.
"To actually apply some of those skills they have learned in technology in a field that perhaps some of them would want to explore later on is wonderful," Principal Baker said.
Baker says Lights! Camera! Action! had sessions all day.
Whether it was In front of the green screen pretending to ski or on camera pitching really big sunglasses... Students learned what it takes to run a production.
"They are being exposed to the chroma key technology using the green screen and they get up in front of the green screen and make it look like they are in different places doing different things and it is all about having a good time," Derek McDonald said.
Derek McDonald says some students will put together a newscast in the final session... To show what they have learned about technology and television.
School officials say a DVD of the event will be made and shown at a later date.

I want one and only one media gallery for all my webbsite in my multilingual installation . 4 languages and 4 sites.
I have tried the plugin WP Original Media but each site creates its own space in the specified directory. And that is now want I want.
(Frankly I cannot understand why they all have their own media gallery from the beginning - I mean it is a network installation and the same images are used on all websites.)
Is there something I have forgotten?
- I installed the plugin
- I created a new dierctory at my server
- I specified that path in the setup for the WP Original Media plugin
I would be very happy if I can get help in this matter

Sewer repairs are crappy. Fact is, they require a lot of work, can cost a lot, and mean you don't get to shower or use the facilities in your house until they are fixed. My wife and I were married at the beginning of this month and all the family and friends who attended strained the system at our mid-century house in Ballard and gave us our first challenge as newlyweds - a sewage back-up in our basement (thankfully, the house-guests had left). We rented a rooter and managed to snake out some roots we knew were a problem about 30' down our lateral line (right under a neighbors tree) but during the process we collapsed about 6' worth of pipe right where the sewer line bends out of our house and heads towards the main. Total block. My new father-in-law had worked with Jim Dandy before and recommended them (I was a little nervous after reading the so-so reviews here and elsewhere). I called them and they had a plumber, Shawn, come out within the hour. He identified the block, tried a rooter head, confirmed the line was broken, and then used a radio-locator to pinpoint the location, which was luckily not under our concrete slab. He worked really fast, let me pepper him with questions, and was super nice. He was there for an hour and a half but only charged me an hour. He also set up an appointment with an estimator (Chris) early the next morning. Chris came in and took a look at the location, and gave me a pretty good bid price. He was willing to be flexible on aspects of the job, and after consulting with him, we agreed on a division on labor that saved us quite a lot more. I and some willing friends dug a portion of the excavation that afternoon (4' down x 8' x 4' - we were sore!) and he had a crew come out the next day and dig down another 3' (digging more than 4' down can be dangerous without bracing, which the crew did when they arrived) as well as pull out the broken lateral line, replace it with PVC, completely rebuild a nearby downspout tie-in with PVC, and add a 4" clean-out line to the surface. We did the backfilling. As soon as the crew was done our second plumber, Jon, came out to scope the new pipes and clean out the remaining roots. He was able to get a 4' rooter tip to the main-line (120' away) and we took a look at the remaining concrete pipes on both sides of the house. They looked pretty good for being 65 years old. He even cleaned out the sand in our downspout p-traps. Despite the late hour, he did not charge us for overtime (which he technically should have). Like Shawn, he worked hard and fast and then billed slightly less time to us than he could have. I really liked everybody associated with the sewer mess. They were nice, sympathetic, flexible with the estimate, and fast. The project cost me way, way, way less than I thought it would have. It wasn't cheap - but it didn't break the bank. We were pretty lucky with the location of the break and didn't have to worry about city streets or sidewalks, big rocks, or under slab. What could have been a financial nightmare was resolved with only minimal pain and a lot of good learning experience. I would recommend Jim Dandy to anybody, and would also recommend tackling a sewer break with a willingness to ask questions, a willingness to do some of the grunt-work, and a friendly attitude. I think plumbers are like anyone else - if you get all mad at them for telling you the painful truth about your problem, you might not get the best service. If you can laugh about it a little, get engaged with the problem-solving, and see them as on your side, they really will be.
I have a 96 Toyota Camry and someone hit me from the back and needed repair. Called Seattle Toyota and they e-mailed me a list of recommended body shop - they use original Toyota parts, not after market parts. After reading some reviews, I went to 2 of them, one being Seattle Automotive. Tony and his staff were so great. The best were: 1. They handled everything with the insurance company, I didn't have to do a thing. I told them I want original parts from Toyota, and they did it. 2. They have their own rental cars. No mileage limits (well, you have to be reasonable). I don't have to call another car rental company to make another arrangement. 3. Nothing out of my pocket. Basically I went in unannounced in the morning and got of of there in 30-40 mins with rental car and headed to work. Got my car back in 5 days. What even more surprising, they detailed my car inside and out and made the 96 Camry look new! I also asked Tony about some repairs I want to do and he gave me great options that make sense and save me money. Thanks Tony! I am very impressed. I don't usually write reviews but I have to give Seattle Automotive this one. I will be back.
I have a 94 Saturn that was wrecked by another vehicle. The insurance company (State Farm) gave me several options to choose from to fix the problem. Since my car had 159k mileage on it, my wife and I worried we would have to have the car totaled and be forced to purchase a new or used vehicle. In this tough economy, this was an option that was not attractive. After getting a quote from a competitor, (Aki's in Ballard) for nearly $2100 to fix the car, we were told that the car would likely be totaled and that we would receive a check for signifcantly less than that. We decided to try Arne's and were quoted $1,000 less and they were able to fix the car. We received the car today and it looks great. The job only took a couple of days, the service was excellent, the employees and owner fair and nice. The owner mentioned he wants to keep older cars on the road instead of totaling them out if he can. The work looks spectacular. I recommend this business and would recommend them to anyone.
There are more than 700,000 auto service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. Finding the right one to repair a dent in your car door or fix an engine that won't start can be overwhelming, especially when it's an emergency. Review a few important facts about auto repair professionals and what you can do to get the best possible mechanic working on your vehicle's issues for a fair price.
Looking For Reliability
Unlike home repair services that evaluate a property, meet with homeowners and have time to prepare before their physical work begins, auto repair businesses are often asked to make fixes on the spot. If you come into a garage with a tire issue, the expectation is the mechanic will know how to correct that problem quickly.
That is why reliability is so vital when searching for a trusted auto repair shop. It may take going to several different mechanics before you find one you are truly comfortable with. Pose questions to this professional to find out what approach they will take to repair your car or what alternatives are available. Shopping around also gives you the best opportunity to find the cheapest rate or the fastest service, as some garages may be backed up with other vehicles that need repair first.
A recommended way to locate a trustworthy auto repair professional is to seek out customer reviews. Online sites offer honest opinions from real customers who have used a business. Read through this feedback to learn how a business operates and what you can expect if you were to take your vehicle there. Look for reviews about how quick maintenance was completed and if prices were fair. By learning what other people have said about a garage, you can gain a better idea if it's the right place to go when you have a car problem in need of fixing.
It can be difficult to know which automotive problems are serious enough to require expert assistance. A ripped seat cushion or broken radio don't involve safety and will not warrant enough of a problem that going into a garage is required. However, setbacks with brakes, lights and other parts that are vital to the safety of your car's driver and passengers, as well as others on the road, necessitate quick fixes. Many modern automobiles will notify drivers of an issue, in the form of a signal on the dashboard or a noise within the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, even if your vehicle does not appear to have any damage on the outside, it is generally recommended that you see a trusted auto repair professional. Internal damage may have occurred, or an important part may have been knocked out of place. Fixing these issues before driving much further can prevent further vehicle breakdowns in the future. In the case of a serious accident, a body shop can assess the problems and determine the best course of action for repairs, as well as evaluate how much they will cost.
Beyond that, regular checkups are recommended. Tires must be rotated, fluids needs to be replaced and the engine must be evaluated. After driving 25,000 miles, most auto dealers suggest having the vehicle checked out to ensure everything is running smoothly. Taking the car into the auto repair professional you trust will protect you from further problems down the road.
Not every type of auto repair work needs to be done by a certified mechanic. You can fix some of a vehicle's issues just by paying attention to how the automobile is running and having a basic understanding of auto repair. Look over the ways weather may impact your car and what preventative measures you can take to avoid having to take it into the shop. At the same time, be aware of mechanic scams that can impact your experience.
Preventing Trips To The Professional
Some fixes to your car can be done without paying a specialist. Issues like replacing oil and air filters are relatively simple, with instructions provided in the owner's manual on how to make these changes. The same goes for replacing broken windshield wipers or burnt-out headlights. Such issues should be repaired quickly to guarantee safety, but don't require a visit to a garage. By handling these types of tasks on your own, you'll gain a better understanding for how your car operates and save time and money.
Along with understanding how to fix manageable vehicle issues that may arise, taking preventative measures to avoid future problems is a valuable time saver. Many problem-solving best practices are related to the seasons. Your vehicle will be in different conditions in the winter than in the summer, meaning it requires a different type of preparation.
In the spring and summer, you want to be sure your air conditioner and cooling systems work correctly. Given the high temperatures the vehicle will be exposed to, overheating is a common problem. Look over the system by ensuring there is enough coolant available. If it needs to be refilled, it is best to open the hood and add more to the car before it gets too warm out. Also, clean out fan ducts and other ventilation sources necessary for summertime driving.
For winter driving, features such as the defroster, heater and exhaust system are paramount. Look in your owner's manual for specific directions on how features should be checked and repaired. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can be replaced when needed, allowing warm air to continue to flow in. Also, check your tires before winter driving, as they need to be at the proper pressure to perform well on snow and ice.
Avoiding Scams
There is a common worry among many people that auto repair professionals take advantage of the general public. Because so many people are unaware of how to fix the problems in their vehicle, they are nervous of being overcharged by mechanics or worried that the improper work is being done.
While the great majority of professionals in the industry are honest, hard-working people, a few bad apples can ruin everything. You should be extra careful when first visiting a mechanic to guarantee that the price you're charged and maintenance the vehicle receives are fair.
Among the common scams pulled are needless repairs, where a garage charges you for work that isn't necessary. Another popular one is attracting customers through a cheap oil change or tire pressure check. Then, when you are in the shop and your car is being repaired, they give you a long list of other corrections they'd like to make, therefore boosting the total cost of your bill.
The best way to combat these types of problems is getting a written estimate before work is done. That way, you can see how much repairs are expected to cost. If the final bill is higher than the estimate projected, ask to specifically see the work. Make sure information is put in writing as well. If a problem remains, you can have proof that work was not done to your satisfaction.
By working closely with an auto repair professional and doing some of the tune-up work on your own, you will be less likely to fall for these scams. At the same time, you'll be able to drive out with a clean and healthy vehicle, thanks to the repairs made by a trained professional.

Everything was going too fast and I was new to this college system and didn't know what was going on, so I actually backed out the first time around. ( I wish I would have stuck to my decision.) But they kept calling me and convinced me to go to westwood. Now this is where the lies began, I asked them what would the total cost be for my degree, I was working with different people ( I don't know why they keep switching up on me ) and they told me that the total cost would be $12,000. To me that was acceptable and i agreed to attend.
While attending this school, I did realize that classes was too easy. I wasn't even trying and I had a 3.9 GPA. ( pretty good for someone who graduated high school with a 2.9 GPA ).
After 6 months of going there, I stumbled across a review on westwood which read about may students being ripped off by this school, so I googled "Westwood ripoff" and turned up here and read the reviews. I was then sent an email by a Westwood rep. that was the cost for my 6 months at the school. It read that i owed over $15,000. I was shocked since I was told that the cost for my degree was going to be $12,000. I called the school and talked to a rep to recieve the news that my degree plan would cost over $40,000.
I asked why I wasn't told this in the beginning but the rep. insisted that they told me the total cost was going to be $40,000.
I'm trying to figure out how loans were taken out without my permission and how come I didn't receive any monthly cost from the school. My financial aid didn't cover anything and I wasn't informed on that issue either.
I have no idea How I am going to pay this loan, I don't make enough money at all. I feel that my credit is at great risk, I worked so hard to keep my credit score high, but now its going to be ruined because of this school.
I am going to attend a community college instead, at least I will learn something there. ( I also checked if any of my credits would transfer but the Community Colleges would not even accept them!)
Please do not attend this school it is one of the worst of its kind.

The program in Religious Studies considers the critical role religion plays in human life by exploring contemporary and historic expressions of religious traditions, with an emphasis on understanding religion as a global phenomenon. Specific courses may chart the intersections of religion with literature, film, media, music, and art; probe political, philosophical, and psychological implications of religious thought and experience; or examine the development of religious institutions, texts, practices, and beliefs. With cross-listing in departments and programs of History, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science and International Relations, English, American Studies, Asian Studies, and Film Studies, courses in Religious Studies draw on a wide variety of scholarly disciplines and methodologies. Students may use courses in Religious Studies, together with courses from other departments, for a self-designed major.
Given the importance of religion to understanding the modern world we live in, taking courses or pursuing a minor in Religious Studies is an excellent complement for any major. Students completing a minor will learn to:

Marion Thees took silver.
Yarnold travelled to Canada and the Olympic track from 2010 having taken silver last time out in Park City to jump up to fourth in the overall World Cup standings.
However a second consecutive medal looked far off after the first run in Whistler with the 24-year-old ranked seventh after clocking a time of 55.70seconds.
She was much better second time though at the track where Amy Williams won Olympic gold, and posted 55.47 to lead until there were only three sliders left.
Reid recovered from a poor start and entrance into corner one to beat Yarnold's overall time by 0.08 however Cassie Hawrysh couldn't follow suit.
That secured Yarnold at least a bronze medal and that was what she collected as Thees, leader after run one, comfortably took victory after run two.
Thees, who posted 55.39 in run one, clocked 55.53 second time out to take victory by 0.17 ahead of Canadian Reid and become the third different winner this season.
She now leads the World Cup standings with 609 points with Katie Uhlaender, who was seventh, second with 577, Reid third with 571 and Yarnold fourth with 562.
Bronze does represent Yarnold's fourth World Cup medal in less than a year competing on the circuit and she was once again comfortably the best Brit.
Olympic silver medallist from 2006 and reigning World Cup champion Shelley Rudman improved from 11th after run one to finish ninth after the second.
However that was her worst finish of the season so far and yet another off the podium while the third Brit in action Donna Creighton went from 18th to 17th.
And making Yarnold's result and comeback all the more impressive was that her training time in Whistler was severely interrupted by an accident in practice.
"I had quite a tough training week, I suffered a really bad blackout on the second day and that meant I only had half the amount of training runs," said Yarnold.
"So to come out and get on the podium again, I am over the moon, I am so overwhelmed."

Last year, half the forum wanted to anoint Lavelle Hawkins the greatest WR since Jerry Rice. Years before that, it was Kory Sheets.
Lavelle Hawkins went on to play 4 games for the Chargers and catch 0 balls.
My vote for this year's preseason MVP is Glenn Winston, a 25-year-old UDFA who didn't sign until August and managed all of 717 yards at perennial powerhouse Northwood University in 2013.
Point of the thread: preseason games are virtually meaningless.

Total cash compensation to VPs of Services approaches anywhere from $76K on the lower end to $213K on the higher end; in exceptional cases, this can include more than $50K from bonuses and upwards of $35K from profit sharing. Career length and the particular city each impact pay for this group, with the former having the largest influence. In this profession, a large number enjoy medical and dental coverage, and a fair number have vision insurance, as well. There are more male VPs of Services than female among those who completed the questionnaire, making up 62 percent. Job satisfaction is high and work is enjoyable for most VPs of Services.
Add this chart to your site:

Vice presidents (VPs) of services generally work in conjunction with a team of client service directors and/or managers to manage accounts and work with the company's clients. They must provide guidance, instructions, and discipline to employees as necessary. Additionally, they present relevant information to other executives to help make high-level decisions. Vice presidents of services are employed in a wide variety of industries, including advertising, digital media, and moving and relocation services, among others. They typically work in an office environment during regular business hours, although overtime and/or alternative hours may be required depending on the employer's needs. Travel may be needed as well.Read More...
Most vice president of services positions require at least a bachelor's degree, preferably in an area such as marketing or advertising. A master of business administration (MBA) may be preferred, and other certificates and qualifications are may be needed depending on the vice president's specific industry. Relevant experience - including in a managerial role - is needed as well. Vice presidents of service must have excellent communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills. Additionally, they should have good time-management skills and proficiency with basic computer programs.
VPs of Services seem to require a number of specific skills. Most notably, facility with Customer Relations and Account Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 20 percent and 17 percent, respectively. Those listing Client Interaction as a skill should be prepared for drastically lower pay. Project Management and Customer Service also typically command lower compensation.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many VPs of Services, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Even the relatively untested can score weighty six-figure salaries; survey participants with less than five years' experience report earning a median of $113K per year. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $140K. VPs of Services who have acquired more than two decades of experience generally do see greater compensation; their average income is approximately $155K.
