So she went to a neighborhood meeting. It drew about 60 people and, Rulla said, helped torpedo the apartment project.
After that, Rulla started going to other community meetings, and soon she had a new position at the Kelly Creek Neighborhood Association.
"I simply offered to organize elections and suddenly I was elected president," Rulla said.
Since then, Rulla has become a dogged advocate for good government in Gresham. She's president of the Coalition of Gresham Neighborhood Associations and a frequent visitor to city council chambers.
She's an expert on land-use issues and attends as many as three or four community meetings a week. She reads, absorbs and occasionally edits the arcane language of city codes. She's learned her way around City Hall and helps guide Gresham residents through the sometimes confusing labyrinth of city government.
Rulla is widely respected around City Hall and in neighborhood groups for her people skills, her passion for issues that might otherwise slip by unnoticed and her commitment to detail.
"If there's an unanswered question, I think it bothers her," said Suzan Wells, president of the Southwest Neighborhood Association. "She's needs to know it all, in depth, backward and forward."
"She knows what she's talking about," said Mike Abbaté, Gresham's director of urban design and planning. "She doesn't wing it. She doesn't settle for broad generalizations. She really dives in. She can ask both policy-level questions and correct typos."
Rulla is 51, married, and the mother of a grown daughter and a teenage son, both of whom she has home-schooled. She and her husband Jim moved to Gresham nearly nine years ago.
But none of that explains why she's become so deeply involved in the inner workings of Gresham government.
Jim Rulla said he believes his wife is a detail-oriented problem solver who wants to help neighbors in need.
"She likes things to work well," he said. "She's got a lot of compassion. When she sees a neighbor in distress, she thinks there's got to be a way to solve those problems."
Rulla said she doesn't generally seek out leadership positions. But in group settings, she added, she's usually chosen because she's so organized.
It's always been this way. She grew up in Houston and remembers working on group projects at school, making sure that her teammates did their work so her grade didn't suffer.
But until she was elected president of the Kelly Creek Neighborhood Association in late 2005, Rulla had never run community meeting. She didn't know parliamentary procedure or Robert's Rules of Order.
She learned, and got more deeply involved. In early 2007, Rulla was elected president of the neighborhood coalition, which represents the city's 16 neighborhood groups.
She has since stepped down as president for the Kelly Creek Neighborhood Association and now serves as its land-use chairwoman.
Rulla is a fixture at city council meetings. She sits near the aisle and usually takes a few moments during the public comment period to press an issue or commend councilors for their work on specific legislation.
City Council President David Widmark said Rulla is a credible advocate for her neighborhood, as well as the rest of the city.
"We listen to Carol," Widmark said. "She seems to have her finger on the pulse of what's happening."
Rulla's latest project involves potential changes to the city code that would ensure the compatibility of new development in Gresham's residential neighborhoods.
Essentially, the changes would prevent developers from putting up houses or commercial buildings that don't fit in with the surrounding homes.
"The goal is to not have a huge three-story house towering over a little one-story," Rulla said.
This project reflects Rulla's theory of the ripple effect of land-use policy.
Bad development, she said, can drive home owners from stable neighborhoods and result in rental properties in areas with no public transportation or social services. That, in turn, could create crime and neglected properties.
"If you don't do the development right, it creates problems down the line," Rulla said.
But good development in a walkable neighborhood, Rulla said, can help attract businesses and improve the health of the residents.
"It makes people feel good about their community," she said, "if you put the right development in the right spot."

Fully Illustrated Children's Book Showing How a Baby is Made. Would You Buy This Book For Your Child?Devan McGuinness
My kids are at the age now where they are really curious about babies. A month or so ago they came into my bedroom and asked my husband and I to tell them where babies come from. I know this topic is one that many parents struggle with just how much to tell their kids — we did too.
What we ended up doing was finding one of the books I had from when I was pregnant — detailed with photos we tried to answer their questions in a way they could understand. Not getting into too much detail, because they are still young, but not scaring them away from asking us anything.
This is a discussion I am sure we will be having again and again as their curiosity increases with their age. I was searching the web for books to talk to kids about sex, pregnancy and birth and came across this one from the Danish author, Per Holm Knudsen titled "The True Story of How Babies Are Made." The author does not shy away from answering straight up the mechanics of sex, pregnancy and birth while keeping it light enough for children to understand. Still, I wonder if I would be comfortable with reading this to my kids. Part of me is totally for it — another part wonders if I am uncomfortable only because I don't think a book like this would fly here.
Click through to see some pages of the book and an animated short created narrating the book and let me know your thoughts!
Page 4 1 of 8"When the parents are not wearing any clothes, you can see that the Mother has an opening between her legs. It's called a vagina. The Father has a penis and testicles."

I use unblock-us to access services that have this really stupid idea of IP-based positioning (hey guys, my IP does not mean anything!). This service (like many others) proxies your DNS traffic through their own servers so you can pretend to be anywhere on the planet. You only have to add their DNS-servers to your computers network settings or to your WIFI-router so all your devices can use it without changing their configuration.
Unfortunately, the chromecast has it's own google DNS configured and those google assholes don't let you change it or disable the feature. In the linked support thread, you can see how you can spoof the DNS traffic using
iptables in your router, so the chromecast will actually talk to unblock-us instead.

Kicking game play
For years, games came out first on the PC and never mind getting a Mac version. Then it was the console that got priority. Now, Apple's iPhone, iPod touch and iPad troika increasingly the got platform as they provide play anywhere portability and, when paired with the Apple TV, true high-def gaming action.
Thereupon, EA Sports (Electronic Arts) published Madden NFL 12 for iPhone (iTunes, $6.99) and for iPad (iTunes, $9.99) day and date with the console versions, which are available at Walmart (Xbox, PS3, Wii).

Incidence rates for NJ and the U.S. were compared using statistics from the National Cancer Institute's (SEER) Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program. SEER mortality data for 1979-1996 were derived from an approximately 14 percent sample of the U.S. population from nine states or metropolitan areas from around the country.
For the years 1979 through 1991, the age-adjusted incidence rates for prostate cancer among New Jersey men were slightly lower than the SEER approximation of the U.S. rates (Figure 14). In 1992 through 1994 the incidence rates were almost the same. The data for 1995 and 1996 indicate that the decline in NJ incidence rates was not as rapid as in the SEER sample of the U.S. We do not know the reason for this shift, but it is possible that improved reporting of prostate cancer to the NJSCR during recent years contributed to the comparatively higher rates in NJ in recent years.
The U.S. mortality rates which were used to compare with those of NJ are based on all deaths in the nation. Figure 15 shows that NJ and U.S. mortality rates from prostate cancer were very similar but the mortality rates in NJ were slightly higher than those of the nation during recent years.

Talent from Louisville had its day to shine in the first round of the National Football League draft on Thursday night. Three players from the University of Louisville were drafted in the first round — a school record.
The first Cardinal taken in the first round was free safety Calvin Pryor. Pryor was drafted by the New York Jets with the 18th overall pick after a dominating junior season at Louisville.
In 2013 Pryor had 75 tackles, five pass breakups and three interceptions as an integral part of the dominating Cardinal defense.
Pryor was known for his strength, delivering big hits all season -- most notably a stretch in which he knocked out an opponent in three-straight games.
Another Cardinal was picked up just eight picks later: defensive end Marcus Smith. Smith was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 26th overall pick.
Smith was the American Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year in the '13 season, as well as being selected as third-team All-American.
He started all 13 games last season and had 29 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception.
As the picks came off the board throughout the first round, all eyes were on former Cardinal great Teddy Bridgewater.
The answer came when the Minnesota Vikings traded up to get the Seattle Seahawks' pick, the final in the first round, to draft Bridgewater.
After dominating on the field in his tenure at Louisville, many questions surrounded Bridgewater after a disappointing pro day, with some analysts saying he wouldn't even get drafted in the first round.
But the Vikings had private workouts with the QB after his pro day and saw potential in him that they wanted to work with, and drafted him with the 32nd overall pick.
Bridgewater had 31 touchdowns last season for 3,970 yards with a completion percentage of 71.0 percent.
Matt Cassel — formerly of the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs — is projected to be the starting quarterback for the Vikings. The Vikings acquired Cassel in a trade from the Chiefs in 2013.

Spider-Man learns about responsibility
Right from the start of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" -- in which our hero Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is trying to protect New York from a rampaging thug while racing to make his high school graduation ceremony on time -- there's a noticeable difference to the webslinger.
In the previous film, the teenage Parker was struggling with his newfound powers, social awkwardness and guilt over the death of his Uncle Ben.
But in the new film, which opens today, Spider-Man is confident and sure from the outset, making wisecracks and jokes even as he's narrowly dodging death.
He's not quite as cocky as Tony Stark in the "Iron Man" pictures, but he has definitely grown into his suit and all of the responsibilities that come with it. He's not a tentative hero.
That confidence, though, is about to be sorely tested. Although it's based on an original screenplay by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner (who all collaborated on "Lost" and "Alias," among others), "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" incorporates one of the comic book's most famous storylines -- one that forever changed the character and forced him to mature even faster.
"When you want to be true to classic source material, you have to face it head-on," said producer Avi Arad, the former head of Marvel Studios. "We did the same thing in the first film. It was difficult for Peter to deal with the death of Uncle Ben, which until now has had the biggest impact on his life. The hesitation to tell this particular story was not whether to do it. The challenge was to do it in a way that dignifies the decision."
Garfield, in his second outing as Spider-Man (he has signed on to star in one more), agrees the character has come to own his powers in much the same way the actor has come to own the role.
"The first movie reflected Peter's experiences as he tried to find his footing with all these new abilities," he said. "My experience as an actor was the same. I was struggling to figure out a way to do the character justice and give him my own spin. By the time we started shooting this one, I already felt like I understood him pretty well."
Also returning is Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Peter's impossibly beautiful girlfriend, who graduates as valedictorian in her class and is considering moving to Oxford to study.
Garfield and Stone have been dating since they made the first film, and their scenes together -- the best stuff in the film -- reflect an intimacy and familiarity that only comes from real life.
"It's interesting, because their relationship matches the characters in the movie," said Marc Webb, who directed both films. "In the first one, they were getting to know each other. Now they're part of each other's personal lives. But everybody knows each other better now off the set, too.
"There is something that is intuitive and natural about them. Audiences connect to their chemistry very easily. There were scenes where we just sat back and let them play for six or seven takes, and every time they would do and say something different. They're generous with each other, and they draw confidence from each other. They're also very funny together. There's a certain kind of buoyancy to them."
Stone, who is known primarily for funny movies ("Zombieland," "Easy A," "Crazy Stupid Love"), said that background is helpful in grounding Gwen in reality.
"A comedic background helps with everything," she said. "I've been doing improv since I was 11, where if something doesn't land, you just have to push forward and keep going."

If you're eating low carbs, then how do you have such a high trig level?? I thought primal was supposed to bring it down a lot.
So, I've come to an interesting predicament, one that is the opposite of what most people experience in terms of their cholesterol numbers. My cholesterol is way too low. 113 is my total number to be exact. Now, why this is a problem, I'm sure I don't have to explain to you guys, but in case you're completely in the dark, Cholesterol is THE building block of the hormones in your body, along with a myriad other functions it serves. Here's the full breakdown from my lab:
Now, the problem I'm running into is that I've been taking straight cholesterol pills 3 times a day at meals to try and help raise this number, for about 3 months(took the last month off bc I ran out of money, but I've resumed in the last week) and the total number actually went down from 117!!! I'm not fully primal by any means, but I eat animal fat and protein at almost every meal, ghee everyday, coconut milk everyday, bacon every other day, bison almost every day, etc. I searched google to see if it would yield any interesting results or ideas on how to raise cholesterol levels, much to my chagrin. So I'm turning to you guys. Any ideas? Also, I'm fairly certain I'm allergic to eggs because every time I eat them I feel like I get whooping cough, although I'm still waiting on a complete food sensitivity panel(ELISA) to rule out food allergies.
You should know my Thyroid is under-performing with a TSH of 4.07 and my iron levels(ferritin) are low, coming in at 52.
The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.
-George Carlin
If you're eating low carbs, then how do you have such a high trig level?? I thought primal was supposed to bring it down a lot.
I'm not necessarily eating low carbs, moderate carbo consumption is what I would define it as. Also, my trigs are low-normal at 92 so I don't quite understand what you're saying.
The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.
-George Carlin
I think what he is trying to say is that a lot of paleo dieters who eat VLC tend to have trigs that range from 30-50. But since you are moderate on carbs yours is a bit higher.
Also a good ratio that people watch is Trigs/HDL which tend to point at the direction of your LDL particle size. The smaller the ratio, the more large bouyant (healthy) your LDL is, and the higher the ratio the smaller dense (unhealthy) your LDL is. Typically people who follow strict paleo have a ratio below 1.0 or even 0.5
"If man made it, don't eat it" - Jack Lallane
People say I am on a "crazy" diet. What is so crazy about eating veggies, fruits, seafood and organ meats? Just because I don't eat whole wheat and processed food doesn't make my diet "crazy". Maybe everyone else with a SAD are the "crazy" ones for putting that junk in their system.
Interesting... I am not familiar with this and it must be pretty rare. Am I right? What do your doctors say the cause might be? Do you have any medical conditions other than this? How old are you and how long have you had this issue with your cholesterol? How long have you been eating mostly primal? More background info will be needed to give you any kind of advice/suggestions/possible reasons. Thanks for sharing. I will be interested to learn more and read what others have to say.
Since cholestorol is produced by the liver, I'd be interested in seeing if there are any markers for liver disease. But, you should be getting enough dietary cholesterol. Hyperthyroid can be ruled out.
I would be looking for malabsorbsion issues. Might be worth a shot to try a nice probiotic. But, me, I'd be looking for medical advice first, then nutritional.

There are lots of nuclear energy companies that would like to leave 2012 behind. Of all the major energy sources, it was the only one that saw a global decline in total consumption. The decline in the United States was largely attributed to cheap natural gas, as it captured a much larger chunk of market share, while alternative energy options became more attractive. To compound the problem, the Fukushima Daiichi meltdown made several countries abroad rethink nuclear use. In Japan, 89% of all nuclear power was shut down as a result of the disaster.
So the question remains, where does nuclear go from here? The increasing attractiveness of solar and wind is going to make it harder and harder to justify using nuclear as a base-load power source, because the economics of doing so is not as attractive as that for natural gas or even coal. One element that could completely change the landscape is restrictions on carbon emissions. Tune in to the following video, where Fool.com contributor Tyler Crowe discusses what these events could mean for nuclear and what some utility companies are doing in light of these new trends.
The energy industry in the United States is changing fast, but that doesn't mean you should immediately pull out and wait for the dust to settle. For disciplined investors who do their homework, there are several great stocks out there that would be a sound addition to your portfolio. The Motley Fool's chief investment officer has identified one under-the-radar energy company as his pick of the year.

Cousins Connect: Lithuania to the UK and US
We love bringing member success stories to our readers. They provide encouragement, offer tips, and show what can be accomplished. We especially like the stories of our younger members, which often spotlight social media.
Joe Tarsh of Manchester (UK) is only 21 and became interested in his family when he was 13.
I came to the realization that I wanted to know where I came from and a little voice at the back of my head told me that if I don't ask now, then all the people who can answer may not be around to answer those questions much longer.
Born in London in 1991, his family moved to Hertfordshire, where he lived until 18. He then took a gap year, returned to the UK in 2010 and is now in his third year at university, studying for a degree in youth and community work.
He joined MyHeritage in March 2010 because he liked the site's easy accessibility, found it simple to use and it had an incredible amount of data.
Joe has discovered many interesting things during his research, from dusty skeletons to fantastic living relations. He's traced his maternal grandmother's family, the Harker family, to about 1610 in Yorkshire, UK and his paternal grandfather's family to Zasliai, Lithuania around 1730.
Until she passed away in 2011, I worked very closely with my maternal grandmother, although she wasn't particularly computer literate, she allowed me to take her hand drawn maps and computerize them.
Today, Joe has just over 2,000 individuals in his MyHeritage family tree, with another 5,000-6,000 names still to upload. His relatives live all over the world, mainly in the UK, but also many in the US, South Africa, Israel and Canada.
During his journey down discovery road, he's contacted many relatives around the world and become close with some of them.
Recently I was hosted by a fifth cousin when I went traveling in America in April.
In December 2010, Joe was in the UK speaking to a friend in America. Suddenly, she said, "my friend is here and she thinks she might be related to you." The girl's name was Miriam Tarshish, which had been his family's surname until his great-grandfather decided to shorten it to Tarsh.
I chatted with Miriam for about 10 minutes, but we couldn't work out a connection, still we facebooked each other, as students do, and thought nothing more of it.
A week later - on holiday in Israel - I was checking Facebook when my newsfeed indicated that Miriam was also going to Israel. I thought this was too much of a coincidence, so I messaged her number and said if she was around Jerusalem we should meet up.
Almost immediately, he received a message from her and two days later, he met Miriam and two of her cousins at a cafe in Jerusalem.
We opened our laptops and set to work. After an hour, we had hit a brick wall but we had reached some conclusions. Both our families came from the same town in Lithuania and both families were from the Jewish Levi tribe. This still didn't confirm anything, but we had to leave it for a while.
Joe spent the next two months trawling whatever online Lithuanian records from about 200 years ago were available.
After much trial and error I finally got it, I found our mutual ancestor, Yankel Beinish Tarshish, born 1762 in Zasliai, and discovered that myself and Miriam's father are in fact fifth cousins.
As more and more records are made available, we're sure Joe will experience more exciting discoveries.
Joe shares some tips for beginning researchers:
- Even when you feel like you can't continue, you can and should.
- Ask people while they're still alive (and can answer your questions).
- Have fun doing it. If you're not having fun, it'll never be satisfying for you.
Thank you, Joe, for sharing your story.
We hope you enjoyed his story. Let us know in the comments below.
Search for your ancestors:
- So true. Because of the work of Cousin Craig Wilson, many are enjoying new and renewed connections with family. We have the opportunity to provide pictures, names and info not previously shared. Our Grandparents, Parents and then ourselves got very busy with life. People move away and connections are lost.
This is an excellent way to preserve the past. Know where we come from and even give us some insite on where we may be headed.

Dallas Cowboys (NFL): Team Colors Retrospective
10/08/2010 09:10:00 PM Dallas Cowboys, metallics, NFL, premium metallics, sRGB color space, team colors 3 comments
Back when the Cowboys came into the National Football League in 1960, they started out with a very understated look - Royal Blue and White:
You'll note the inclusion of the Gray helmet facemasks. I display these color chips due to the fact that the NFL considers these Gray masks as part of the overall color scheme. Even if Gray would not be normally considered a "team color", they are included in the individual clubs' Style Guide.
In 1964, with the advent and proliferation of color television, President and General Manager Tex Schramm came up with the idea of combining the existing Royal Blue with a unique Silverish-Blue that the team dubbed "Metallic Blue":
In 1966, the Cowboys added White stripes to their Royal Blue jersey sleeves, and Royal Blue stripes to their White jerseys...and for some reason, trimmed them in Black:
Originally, there were three of these sleeve stripes, and later was cut down to two.
There has been a small controversy regarding the color of these stripes - some have claimed that they are actually Navy, but every physical and digital Style Guide available to me has clearly shown these stripes to be Black.
In 1976, to celebrate the Bicentennial, the Cowboys changed one of their helmet stripes to Red, to create Red, White and Blue striping on the helmet:
1977 saw the color scheme revert back to the "normal" palette:
For the 1981 NFL season, the Cowboys decided to make a radical change to their uniforms - despite the superstition of wearing their Royal Blue jerseys with the Metallic Blue pants (the Cowboys had been wearing White exclusively at home for a number of seasons), they simply didn't look all that good to the powers-that-be. So, they decided to change the color of the dark jerseys to Navy, and pair them with Silver (read: Gray) pants. This meant that Dallas would wear one set of colors at home, and another on the road:
Note the label associated with the what would now be called "Metallic SILVER Blue"; it became a custom Silver Blue match ink around 1981. Prior to 1980 or so (I'm not entirely certain of the exact season), all NFL Style Guides were produced without Pantone references; the Guides themselves provided tear-off chips that manufacturers were to use to match fabrics and printing inks. Once Pantone standards were established, there were no Pantone colors that could match the Cowboys' Silver Blue - so custom match inks were indicated.
Around 1991, someone had the bright idea that the pants worn with the White jerseys needed to be modified. This introduced a THIRD variation of Silver into the color scheme - Silver-GREEN:
I believe that what may have contributed to these multiple metallic colors was the advent of Pantone's "blended metallics" which became available to printers and manufacturers around 1991. Blended metallics are metallic colors that combine standard Pantone spot inks with metallic base inks. Now, the Cowboys could use a Pantone blended metallic for their Silver Blue and also used a different blended metallic color for their Silver-Green home pants.
So, the Cowboys had Silver-Green pants at home, Silver pants on the road, and both paired up with Silver-BLUE helmets. Not to mention the mismatched Blues - Royal at home, Navy on the road.
For 1997, some additional tweaks to the individual colors occurred. In addition, some discrepancies were addressed by the NFL regarding the Cowboys' colors. The following is an excerpt from a letter dated September 25, 1996, in my possession from the NFL Properties dept:
There has been a wide range of Dallas' "Cowboy Blue" for many years. In many cases, the color has been a deep royal, yet the star has been navy. The team has implored us to use blue - xxx, pantone textile xx-xxxx, as the primary color.
In addition, the blue color on the white jersey has never been referenced. This color will now be in the Style Guide as Royal xxx (pantone textile xx-xxxx), as referenced above.
(Edits mine to protect specific potentially copyrighted Pantone information.)
Actually, there is still some controversy (at least, in my mind) regarding the colors used. My assumptions are that the Blues specified in the Guides I have up to this point (1977, 1986, 1995, 1996, 1997) refer to the White jersey, and the actual Navy Pantone color used was not actually specified.
Here were the colors as of 1997:
Some of you might even notice that even the BLACK was modified in 1997! The NFL begun specifying PANTONE Black 6 C as a standard Black in '97. Eventually, they converted almost all of the usage of Black to either Black C or Process Black C in 2002, but one team still uses Black 6 C today - the Carolina Panthers. But, I digress...!
For 2001, the Royal Blue was modified:
In 2002, just about every team in the NFL had one or more of their colors modified in some way. I believe this coincided with Reebok getting the manufacturing contract. Also in 2002, the Cowboys began to designate their primary colors as Navy and Silver:
You'll also note the change to the Silver - it is now officially a metallic color - making it THREE different metallics to represent what most people regard as one color - Silver. Silver-Blue helmets, Silver-Green home pants, and Silver(-Gray) road pants. With Navy on the road unis (and on the helmets), Royal Blue on the home unis, with Black trim on the home uniform sleeve stripes, and Gray facemasks.
Anyone see a problem with this??
I heard a rumor that Jerry Jones - the owner of the Dallas Cowboys - is actually color-blind. What I have heard is that season after season, different graphic designers and licensees present color changes to Mr. Jones in order to push him in the direction of standardizing the Cowboys' color palette. He doesn't see the need. Because he doesn't see the differences in the colors.
If were up to me (and it certainly isn't!), I would pick one Blue, one Silver and be done with it. Here's my proposed color set:
The Metallic Silver Blue I'm using here is part of Pantone's new line of metallic colors - called "Premium Metallics". These colors combine Pantone's new Goe set of base inks with a new metallic - PANTONE Silver. I don't actually have a physical guide for these new metallics yet, so it's difficult to tell how this color would look on a helmet at this point.
Next, I'll take a look at the San Francisco 49ers' colors, and how the pre-1980 custom ink matches affected the Niners' color scheme for years to come...

For the first couple of weeks, I was very unhappy with the new stove. I felt the surface was too delicate and was afraid I was going to damage it. Pans tend to slide around when you stir the contents, unless you are using heavy pans. However, there is definitely a learning curve here, and I am getting used to the range and like it much more than I originally did. The burners are slow to heat up but have a good even heat once they are heated up. The oven is great. It bakes evenly and seems to be accurate as to the times and temps needed to follow recipes. I am not happy with the time display not being readable when the oven is on, since it either shows the temperature or the balance of time left on the timer if that is being used. I would like to be able to see the clock while the oven is on. I have had to put a new clock on my kitchen wall to be able to see the time while the oven is being used. My kitchen is very small and does not have a lot of countertop space, so I often use the stove top for counter space when the range is not being used. Since the glass top is more delicate than my old range, I have to cover the surface with towels when using it as counter space. Kind of a pain. It is also harder to keep clean than my old style stove ( electric stove with the 4 burners.) On the whole, I like the stove since I am learning to change my habits to deal with its limitations.

I've been using this for about two months and it already needed servicing! The oven quit on me after a few uses, it was a sensor that needed replacing. Previous range was gas, so I thought the smooth cooktop would be a welcomed change - so easy to clean... I was so wrong! The black shows every speck of dust and crumbs and unless you use the special bottle of cleaning solution after every single use, you might as well not even wipe it down because its just a mess, streaking, spotting, etc. This is probably not a GE issue though, I'm guessing all similar style cooktops would have the same issue. Oven seems to work fine now, cooktop burners are ok too and plenty hot. Would be nice to override the auto temp control on the burners sometimes though, especially when trying to bring water to a boil.

Good stove

Comments about GE 30" Black Free-Standing Electric Range:
I had to replace my oven after accidently breaking my glass top. This was the closest model to my old one and it looks and cooks great. I like the fact there are not tons of buttons, so it's easy to teach my kids to start cooking!p
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I DO NOT LIKE HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO CLEAN THE COOK TOP SURFACE. Everything else functions well so far. Have had the product for 5 months.
Great features

Good so far, let see how it's turn to be in the long run.
Awesome features, easy to use, quick cooking
By Dlcrstnhltz
from Portage, Michigan, United States
We bought this three months ago and I was skeptical at first about buying a glass top cooking surface. after using the stove I will Never go back to a regular stove. I love the way it cooks, the speed with which it heats up and cooks. My sons have both commented about how food has been tasting so much better now. They originally had assumed I was trying new recipes!! We're surprised to learn that it is the same recipes as always just the new stove and oven!!
sleek and efficient
By Dlsmith

We bought this GE to replace our older GE stove. It works great and looks sleek. Glass top tends to mark up easily, but if kept clean and polished...looks great.
Overall just a great product
By Mike0113
from Alabama, United States
Not only affordable, but a great product in general. Never has any issues getting water boiling fast. If I had to pick any kind of complaint it'd only be cleaning that glass top. However, that's any glass top you purchase. And finger prints!!!! That's a personal problem I guess lol purchasing stainless steel and having a 2 year old just don't mix. Very nice simple oven.
Stove top heat is inconsistent
By Dgkoster
from Indianapolis in
The burners do not get as hot as they should and the temp is always going up and down. The is great though besides the cooktop issues. Built brand new house and this was the only option on brand and models they offered
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Scratch the cooktop on the first day with my pots
By Francesca J L
from Iowa
I am not impressed with the glass cooktop. I used the detergent and sponge that the builder provided us and the cooktop always never look clean. You can see the path that you wiped the cooktop. And I used the pans bought from Macys, and disappointingly, it left an inch scratch on the cooktop. It could be me not paying attention to what type of pot I shouldn't be using, but I won't be buying this if those common pots can't be used with this stove.

Canada is imposing economic sanctions and travel bans against 11 Russian and Ukrainian individuals plus one additional entity over Russia's actions in Ukraine.
The announcement Saturday came as President Vladimir Putin ordered military forces in central Russia on combat alert, which NATO said could be seen as an escalation of the crisis with Ukraine.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement that ''Russia's illegal occupation of the Crimean peninsula in Ukraine and provocative military activity remains a serious concern to the international community.''
The measures announced Saturday are in addition to previous moves that have included imposing a number of political and economic sanctions against senior officials and some institutions in Russia and Ukraine.
As well, Canada has expelled a Russian diplomat, co-sponsored a UN resolution on the crisis and earmarked $220 million to help stabilize the Ukrainian economy.
Harper says the new sanctions ''will continue to increase economic pressure on those responsible for the crisis in Ukraine.''

Know your needs
The type of digital camera you buy depends on what you will be doing with the pictures that you take.. Knowing what kind of photos you'll be taking most often will help you decide what resolution and other features you'll need.
If you'll be emailing the pictures that you take or uploading them onto a photo-sharing web site then your needs are going to be different from someone that will be making lots of 4x6 snapshot prints. That persons needs are going to be different from someone that is going to try to make money with their pictures in either a magazine or doing portraits.
In addition to how you will be using the pictures, you'll need to think about additional features like a powerful zoom for close-ups software that makes e-mailing photos easier, manual controls, or even a video-recording mode.
For occasional snapshots, family album projects, or a personal website, you'll probably be happy with an entry-level point-and shoot model that has minimal extras. On the other hand, if you want to make really big prints (beyond 8 x 10), you'll need to look for a model with more manual controls and a slightly higher megapixel count.
If you're going to be using your camera for professional graphics work or if your business depends on professional quality digital images, you're more in the market for a high quality digital [or film-based] SLR (single-reflex lense) camera.
The types of camera available today are:
Please note, when purchasing a digital camera -- do not pay much attention to the digital zoom rating. The zoom that really matters that will actually make a picture look good as a closeup is the optical zoom rating.

The Iron Bowl will take place after you're full of turkey and cranberry sauce. This will be the 77th meeting of Auburn and Alabama, as "Roll Tide" meets up with "War Eagle."
An intense rivalry by all means, this year's contest probably will be a little bit one-sided. Alabama is trying to move on to the BCS title game, while Auburn comes into the game wondering if its head coach will have a job at halftime.
Both programs have recruited well this year, and they both have several commits that are future stars of this annual game dubbed "The Iron Bowl." Here are the top 12 future studs that you'll be seeing play in this game in a few years.

To me this shows exactly how not to approach bloggers to get them onside. I've not put in a link to the site, and I don't want one back from them. But if you do want to visit the site you can figure out the URL from the text above.
Reasons why this is bad:
1. It's blatantly a mail merged email. And a pretty badly written one at that.
2. It addresses me as 'crackunit' – that's not my name. It's not hard to figure out my name.
3. Why would I want them to link me to my December 2006 archive?
4. It's badly targeted. I don't drive.
I'm guessing that they've just done a big search on blogs that mention Toyota (and I talked about a Toyota website, from a craft point of view, last December). What's 'interesting' about this is that it shows how even a bunch of brand enthusiasts (or in this case a for-profit organisation) can muck about with perceptions of your brand.
I don't go to 'gigs' that much anymore. So much so that even the word 'gig' makes me cringe with it's approaching-an-age-where-you-shouldn't-be-going-to-gigs-anymore-ness. Anyway I was lucky enough to get to go and see Reverend and the Makers in Brighton last night (thanks to Toby for the ticket).
When trying to think how I'd describe them I realised how hard it must be to be a music writer. All I can think about is how they're like mash-ups of lots of different stuff, which just shows my limited musical vocabulary.
Lead singer 'The Reverend' takes the poet and the rock godness of Jim Morrison and fuses it with the twitching intensity of Ian Curis, via the baggy swagger of Liam Gallagher or Ian Brown. Their sound draws from all kinds of places LCD Soundsystem-esque cowbell workouts but with the humour and wit of the Arctic Monkeys. The low slung lazy-manc-funk of the Stone Roses updated with an electro edge. Sometimes the beats are close to skittering drum and bass patterns, othertimes its more like punky ska. Street poetry morphs into the politicised bastard child of Billy Brag and one of the Daft Punk robots.
You're probably none the wiser. So here's the best live footage I could find (from their support slot with The Arctic Monkeys last year)…
I'm pretty sure that these guys are about to get huge – not because I'm a great predictor of trends, but because they're awesome (plus the fact I heard them on Asda's in-store radio on Sunday which suggests something).
Plus the (very little) kids like them:
More on MySpace.
Their own page.
Or there's a very informative page on Wikipedia.
On the bus this morning I spotted this guy taking photos of some police people pulling over a motorbike. After what looked like a brief 'You can't take photos here' telling off, the policewoman started to check what the guy had been taking photos of.
In a world of public camera ubiquitousness surely this kind of things is a bit silly, after all we're all on 'their' cameras everywhere we go.
So I figured I'd take a photo of her checking the photos he'd taken of her. Yoiks!
&tI promised to write some more about We Love Technology 2007, but I'm not going to write that much about the content of the talks. There are much better bloggers out there doing that kindthing.
Here's some stuff I learned:
You don't have to be a brilliant presenter to present brilliantly. Julius Popp the artist who'd invented Bit.Fall was obviously hating presenting (if you've not seen Bit.Fall check it here), he was visibly nervous and struggling a little bit with English not being his first language. But you know what, it didn't matter a single bit. The fact that he was struggling a little made people listen harder and more intently to what he was trying to say.
But why? In most presentations it's not a struggle to listen, more of a struggle to stay awake.
A few things: you could feel his passion for what he was talking about, he made a story out of his journey, but most importantly he was being himself.
There's something about art – I'm not going to get bogged down in defining 'what is art', but there was definitely a thread through the talks that smelled like art to me. I can't describe why people making art is really compelling, it just is. I'm not even sure that it's important whether it's art or not. If the creator think that they're making art as opposed to doing a job it comes across as far more passionate and potentially rewarding.
Maybe if I start to think about everything I do as being 'art' (in some kind of very limited form) it'll have a profound effect on how I go about things. Or maybe I'll just become a pretentious moron. But that's the thing, the people who were 'doing art' weren't pretentious, I was jealous of their dedication and their love of what they're doing.
I care because I hack (or do I hack because I care?) – one theme that came up repeatedly although not always explicitly was hacking. There were people hacking old machines, hacking buildings, hacking Nintendos, hacking cells. Everywhere people were taking things and re-appropriating them in new, unintended, ways. I can't put my finger on why this culture of hacking is so important.
From the outside you could suppose that it's about having some kind of mastery over things (but it certainly doesn't seem to be in a macho 'I'm the daddy' kind of way). But in all honesty it just seems to be that in a lot of cases it's the most efficient and best way to just get things done. Which was a major thread through everything. All of the presenters were people who seemed to have a 'just do it' kind of attitude.
The usefulness of irrelevance – I left the day with a buzzy head. That could have been from drinking too much coffee and having been awake since 5am, but I suspect it was more to do with having lots of new information fired into my brain very quickly.
I'm guessing that lots of people would struggle to justify a trip to a conference with a line-up like this to their boss. It sort of looks like an irrelevance or a distraction. But it gave me an enthusiasm boost and taught me lots of things from very direct stuff about techniques and approaches to much softer things like what makes people compelling.
And from a very direct point of view I've already written a pitch that contains a big idea that I never would have had if I hadn't been to We Love Technology. Depending on how it goes that could be my ROI proven ;-)
If there's one thing that I took away it's that loving stuff is cool. Love is a much overused word in our industry (as is cool), but when you see people who really love what they do it stands out a mile.
I've just spent a lovely, if rather long, day in Huddersfield at a conference called We Love Technology. It was really cool. Lots of great speakers and another event that I've left with a buzzy head.
I'll write more about it later, but for now one thing I learned is that Technology looks much cooler when spelled with an 'ie'. I also quite like mashines to be spelled that way too.
I love Moo Cards – they're great.
But I've always wondered how they could be made more 'useful'. This blog post on how Adegga.com managed to print unique invite codes on a bunch of cards shows how, with a tiny bit of imagination you can use bits of technology to hack together all kinds of things. And this is one even I can understand!
How to make unique Moo Invite Cards

Portobello Burger with Muffuletta Topping RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
A tasty tomato-olive mixture, melty cheese and smoky grilled mushroom add so much flavor to this recipe one taster called it "one of the best grilled mushroom burgers I've had." For a change, switch another cheese or spinach for the provolone and lettuce. —Tamra Duncan, Lincoln, Arkansas
- 1 large portobello mushroom, stem removed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 plum tomato, chopped
- 2 pitted green olives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 multigrain hamburger bun, split and toasted
- 1 lettuce leaf
- 1 slice provolone cheese
- Brush mushroom with oil and sprinkle with oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill mushroom, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until tender.
- Combine tomato and olives; season with salt and pepper. Spread mayonnaise over bun bottom. Top with lettuce, mushroom, cheese and tomato mixture; replace bun top. Yield: 1 serving.

Lot # 1446 (of 1525) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1934 R136 National Chicle Sky Birds Original Card Artwork Collection (3)
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $3,770.00
Collection of three original artworks from the 108-card 1934 R136 "Sky Birds" set issued by National Chicle. Offered are the actual original artworks to card #70 Frank Hunter, #88 C.B. (Ben) Eielson, and #89 "Neuport Rocket Ship." The Sky Birds set features famous pilots and airplanes of the day, and has always been regarded as one of the most popular of all 1930s non-sport gum card sets, in part because of its bright colors, sharp details, art deco designs, and popular subject matter. Artwork for card sets from the 1930s are exceedingly rare. Back in the late 1970s a group of material surfaced in the collecting world directly from the family of a National Chicle employee, which included approximately 100 artworks from several National Chicle non-sport sets, including "Sky Birds." These three artworks originate directly from this historic find, and were among the first chosen as the "pick of the litter" when the artwork was first offered for sale over twenty years ago. They have remained together ever since. Robert Edward Auctions handled virtually all of this material at the time. Today, these artworks have long been scattered to the four corners of the collecting world. When they do turn up, all can be traced directly to this find. The three offered artworks are all exceptional examples of these extremely rare and highly prized original 1930s gum card artworks. As is the case with all National Chicle "Sky Bird" artworks, the paintings are gouache on thick artist's board, and each measures 4.5 x 5.5 inches. All three artworks are extremely clean, with sharp, bright, crisp colors, and are in Excellent to Mint condition. Total 3 artworks. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$3,000. SOLD FOR $3,770.00

What are you most proud of? i love that i have all that cashmere yarn for only $2.50 from a thrift shop, so soft and lots of fun unravelling with help from Erin & Ava
Gorgeous! That hat looks amazingly soft! The girls will be so thrilled with their warm gifts this year.
Beautifully done & your little Erin will look precious in this dear little hat & ruffle scarf. Thanks so much for sharing. :-)
I would love to try unraveling a sweater for the yarn, but I don't know how to begin. Do you know where I could find instructions or a tutorial? Love this project - so pretty!
if you use an search engine , type in how to unravel a sweater for yarn or how to recycle yarn from an old sweater and that should bring up any number of blogs or posts, i just used one of them and pinned it to one of my boards on pinterest, believe it or not, it worked and i recycled almost the entire cashmere sweater- it was great! you can do it with wool, wool, silk blends, i recycled an old skirt that was wool, silk and angora- go for it!!!

Don't forget to enter my BP $100 gas card giveaway.
Over the past few years of fishing with my hunter I've been giving a lot of thought to what it would be like to fish without him. Don't get me wrong, I love fishing with my hunter. I love just swinging my body and pole around and having my hunter take my fish off my hook. But I'm beginning to realize that I'm not just fishing to fish. I'm not just fishing because he does. I'm not just fishing to take a vacation. I'm fishing because I really do enjoy it.
But there are many issues I struggle with. I want to be able to put the line on my rod myself, take a fish off the hook without fear, when my line breaks I want to be able to put all the thingymajiggers back on, I want to be able to take the boat out and drive myself, everything an experienced angler would do.
Then reality kicks in when we get to the boat dock. I panic and jump out of the truck while my hunter backs the boat in, ties it to the dock and then pulls the truck out. Then I promise myself I would start out with a small fish and take it off the hook.
On our last trip, I caught a tiny, little, itty, bitty fish. I turned my back so my hunter couldn't see me. He would have insisted I give him my line but I wanted to do it for myself. With my back to my hunter, I try to grab ahold of the fish without screaming then the fish flip flops on my line and I just can't bring myself to touch it. My hunter finally notices and grabbed the camera. I tried and tried but I just couldn't do it without, well ….
my handi-wipe…
Isn't he cute! I would say I'm making a little progress.

In this article we wish to report the results of experiments performed in an attempt to determine whether or not sympathectomy influences the healing of cartilage and bone.
The Literature.
—Physiologists have demonstrated repeatedly that removal of the sympathetic ganglions supplying a limb is followed by a dilatation of the blood vessels and increased flow of blood through that limb. Furthermore, certain investigators have maintained that an identical result is secured by the removal of a segment of the outer coat of the main artery. These developments have led clinicians to the use of one or another of these procedures in the treatment of almost every pathologic condition that might possibly be attributed to a deficiency in local circulation. One of these conditions is the state of delayed union or nonunion in fractures of the bones of the extremities.The first

It operates independently of a user's location or IP address.
