Thumb up for Dereks auto detail in Seattle
Hey guys, I just wanted share my experience with them so here it goes.
So I got this dereks auto detail groupon deal from the internet and made an appointment with the shop in Seattle, on aurora ave. I took my car in to their shop last Tuesday and originally, it was for their simple exterior hand wash (#5 or something) but I upgraded to more extensive exterior wash (#9) for 55 bucks. The guy in charge was Melvin, who was always friendly and straight up with the service without any BS unlike some detail shops do to rip their customers off. In short, they did excellent job and the car came out as new again. Never seen my car that shiny and shimmering just awesome job. Now, this could be just like other good priced quality detail shop but the thing is a couple days ago, I took my OEM trunk spoiler off and installed CF spoiler. And yes, I screwed up with removing remaining adhesive and left many small irritating swirl marks and light scratches. So I called up Dereks auto shop again this morning, and Melvin hooked me up right away, even tho there were 12 cars waiting to be waxed and polished, I went straight up to their garage and fixed the scratches, FOR FREE!!! Yes, for free, and Melvin was a very cool professional guy. Well now I know which detail shop to go around here. Thanks for reading |

I'm a sun worshipper. Yes, it's true. When the sun is out, there is no getting rid of the smile on my face or denying the electric waves of energy that pulse through my body. I want to run, I want to dance, I want to giggle until I collapse on a picnic blanket in a meadow full of wildflowers. The sun feeds me.
But with the summer sun comes real concerns about skin safety. I was interested that the latest New York Times post about sunscreen is saying that we should avoid being out in the sun at mid-day, and should still be wearing coverings like hats and sleeves as sunscreen doesn't do enough to protect the skin during those harsh sunlight hours. The article also pointed out the dangerous hormone disrupting chemical oxybenzone – found in over 65% of sunscreens. The Environmental Working Group puts out a great sunscreen guide every year that highlights the best brands to buy.
The New York Times post also highlights Zinc Oxide as good ingredient to look for in sunscreen. Zinc Oxide must be at least 20% of the formula in order to be at least SPF30. So, knowing this, I realized I could make my own homemade sunscreen using Zinc Oxide powder, combining it with skin loving shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax. It's some good stuff. So let me show you how!
DIY Homemade Coconut Sunscreen with Shea Butter
- 1/2 oz. beeswax pastilles
- 1/4 c. shea butter
- 1/4 c. coconut oil
- 2 tbsp Zinc Oxide Powder
Combine the shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler (I just put a glass bowl over a saucepan with boiling water) and melt down before adding the beeswax. Remove from heat and pour into another bowl. Blend with a hand blender on medium and slowly add in the 2 tbsp zinc powder. Blend until well combined and there are no clumps. Let cool to room temperature and you've got sunscreen, baby! Store in a jar in a cool, dark cupboard for up to 1 month.
Now, this homemade sunscreen is a bit different from the store bought kind. It needs to be rubbed in with some vigor to avoid white streaks. But I can tell you that it definitely works, as I put some on this past weekend and didn't burn after a day in the sunshine.

It cannot be said that the cricketers of England and Australia are overburdened by expectation when a new Ashes series starts, quaintly, in Cardiff this morning. From the English perspective, at least, what began to happen at Lord's four years ago, when Glenn McGrath bowled like a god and his scattered opponents resolved, successfully, to fight back, is probably beyond reach.
However, there is a warming certainty as Andrew Strauss, having waded some way through the morass of the aborted captaincies of Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen, seeks to emulate Michael Vaughan in what he does to a still vengeful Australian skipper Ricky Ponting.
This is carried by the fact that however reduced the Aussies are by the disappearance of such titans as McGrath, Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer – and the temporary inconvenience of Brett Lee – they still represent the ultimate challenge in the only form of cricket capable of standing a test of time as it runs longer and goes deeper than the bowling of a mere 20 overs.
They proved this in their last mission to South Africa, most people's idea of the new force in Test cricket.
What the Aussies did, to quote one of Ponting's livelier phrases, was to give it a "red-hot shake." The South Africans never truly recovered from the scorching.
Maybe 2005 should be wrapped in mothballs and brought out only when the heat of current Ashes action has passed, such is the standard it set for those who followed.
Yet it is also true that no-one could have imagined the dramas that came after McGrath's clinical masterpiece at Lord's and, who knows, the ferocity of Ponting's resolve to paint an entirely different picture of an English summer may well create its own extraordinary level of competition.
Certainly there must be much relief in the more realistic corners of the nation that a headline suggesting that Pietersen believes the Australian squad is "for the taking" turned out to be not quite right.
What he said, we should thank God, was, "we'll come out fighting because we're not scared."
To say these two statements are not the same thing is a bit like pointing out certain discrepancies between Mein Kampf and The Bible.
Only on the rarest occasions have the men in the baggy green caps been for the taking and around about the last time it happened the captain Kim Hughes broke down and wept and the general population went into shock that probably still lingers in their subconscious.
Hughes was a fine cricketer martyred, some still feel, by Aussie incomprehension that some opponents had come to see them as a soft touch.
What can be said with absolute conviction is that Ponting is not likely to shed the smallest tear in the face of adversity. If the loss of Lee is a further erosion of the strength Ponting brought here four years ago, he has already firmly placed it in the category of passing and not insurmountable difficulty.
The captain's drive is the least of surprises. When England arrived in Australia in 2006 his intensity was so great that the glow in his eyes would have lit up the murkiest billabong. There are times when Ponting may not be the most engaging of men, he can be as sharply aggressive as the edge of a razor and his tolerance of that which he considers foolish or irrelevant lasts just as long as it takes him to flash out his contempt.
In an absorbing conversation with former England captain Nasser Hussain – himself not always celebrated for his patience in the face of professional ignorance – this week, though, Ponting did show us some of the essence of a superbly committed competitor. He was dismissive of the jibes he has received from the former "Terror Tomkins", aka Jeff Thomson, and, if you read just a little between the lines, offered us the prospect of a hard battle which, if it doesn't hit the heights of 2005, will remind us of how a Test series should be fought.
Ponting said: "I'm confident that we're going to play a level of cricket that's going to be good enough to win. I think we proved to a lot of people that we could play some very good cricket in South Africa. The way we played those first two games over there was as good as any team's played for Australia for three or four years.
"I honestly think it's going to be a really good, tight Test series. Whoever gets the best of the critical moments is going to win."
It is a low-key statement that still manages to brim with substance. This is Ponting's way. He regrets his larrikin ways, which once led to his suspension from the team, but he asserts that it was an experience that helped to shape him as a serious minded cricketer – and a serious man.
Strauss, too, has shown a fighting instinct, not least in 2005 with centuries at Old Trafford and The Oval while fighting off the Australian attempt to save the Ashes, and in his nerve in dealing with the disarray and scorn which accompanied the end of Pietersen's brief captaincy.
No, we may not have 2005 but one suspicion is that with the return to real cricket we will also have a genuine contest.
Another is that the Australians have retained enough of their pedigree to hold on to the Ashes they recovered in the fire of Ponting's leadership.
The margin? Probably no more than one Test, which is three or four less than was quite freely predicted on behalf of the Australians four years ago. But then we had something that was touched by fantasy. This time it's going to be attrition, time-honoured and, there is some reason to hope, far from inglorious.
Opening spell: How the early overs have determined an Ashes series
Ashes 2006/07 Steve Harmison infamously demonstrated how not to open an Ashes campaign in the first Test at The Gabba, the opening ball of the match nearly adding a knee injury to Andrew Flintoff's list of ailments – and he was at second slip. Australia made 602 in the first innings, the tone was set and they won the series 5-0.
Ashes 2005 Harmison started aggressively at Lord's, striking Justin Langer flush on the elbow from only the second delivery of the match. "These guys mean business," Langer said. Harmison also cut Ricky Ponting's face with a bouncer shortly afterwards. Although England lost the first Test, they won the thrilling series 2-1.
Ashes 2002/03 Even before the first ball England were up against it. Captain Nasser Hussain won the toss at The Gabba but opted to bowl, which backfired badly. Australia took advantage of several fielding errors and Simon Jones' knee injury to make 364 for 2 at close of the first day. Australia won the Test and the series 4-1.
Ashes 2001 Glenn McGrath got the series under way with a tight opening over that went for only two runs at Edgbaston. Jason Gillespie then took the wicket of Marcus Trescothick from the eighth ball of the match. Australian went on to win by an innings and 118 runs and the series 4-1.
Ashes 1994/95 Philip DeFreitas's tame opening delivery in Brisbane was smashed away for four by Aussie opener Michael Slater. It set an ominous precedent for England in an Aussie-dominated Test. The hosts advanced to 87 for 0 at lunch and won the Test by 184 runs and the series 3-1.

New food distribution center in Prescott expected to create 300 jobs
United Natural Foods Inc. will build a $37.8 million distribution center in Prescott – a project that's expected to create up to 314 new jobs over three years, according to an announcement this morning by Gov. Scott Walker.
The 300,000 sq. ft. facility will be the company's second distribution center in Wisconsin. UNFI, the leading distributor of natural, organic and specialty foods in North America, will open a 425,000 sq. ft. distribution center and warehouse in spring 2014 in Racine County.
Construction on the Prescott facility is expected to begin in May and will take about one year to complete. The city was selected after the company conducted a multistate search.
"UNFI's decision to build a second facility in Wisconsin -- particularly after looking at options in other states -- is a testament to our strong pro-business climate," said Walker. "The two operations combined are creating more than 500 new jobs that could have gone elsewhere. We're very pleased with the company's continued commitment to Wisconsin."
"UNFI is pleased to partner with the state of Wisconsin and Prescott to expand our operations," said Sean Griffin, UNFI's group president. "We feel the location is the optimal location for us to better service our customers and increase our operational efficiencies while reducing our costs and emissions. We look forward to growing together with this great community."
"This is a day of celebration for the growth and development about to take place in our community," said Prescott Mayor Mark Huber. "Ultimately, the creation of 314 new, good-paying, jobs is going to have a huge impact in our city. With a spring groundbreaking and busy construction schedule ahead, we see the business climate significantly improving in the city of Prescott and Pierce County over the next two years."
The company is eligible for up to $3.5 million in state tax credits from the WEDC over a four-year period. In addition, Prescott developed a $6 million incentive package that includes the land for the project, site preparation and infrastructure improvements. Xcel Energy also is helping with power access, capacity and redundancy.
The distribution center will be built in the Eagle Ridge Business Park, which is one of 13 "Certified in Wisconsin" development-ready sites. It is the second announced development under the "Certified in Wisconsin" program. In Stevens Point, construction is under way on a $14.5 million warehouse for Cold Service Storage.
"UNFI's decision to build in Prescott is proof positive that the 'Certified in Wisconsin' program is helping Wisconsin communities showcase their prime industrial sites," said Reed Hall, secretary and CEO of WEDC, the state's lead economic development organization. "We're looking forward to more development around the state as a result of the program."
The site being certified as being ready for development was one of the factors in UNFI's decision to locate in Prescott, company and state officials said.
Other factors including the site's proximity to the Twin Cities and a nearby four-lane highway, the willingness of the state and city to work together on incentives and the low cost of doing business in Wisconsin, officials said.
J. Michael Mullis, the Tennessee-based project location specialist who worked with UNFI throughout the selection process, said among the reasons the company selected Wisconsin was the state's overall business-friendly environment and the ability of the state and city to respond quickly to the company's needs.
"UNFI examined numerous locations and weighed a variety of factors," Mullis said. "But in the end, the location in Prescott made sense for many reasons."

Explaining the Gender Wage Gap in Georgia
By: Tamar Khitarishvili
Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, Monetary Policy and Financial Structure Working Paper
This paper evaluates gender wage differentials in Georgia between 2000 and 2004. Using ordinary least squares, we find that the gender wage gap in Georgia is substantially higher than in other transition countries. Correcting for sample selection bias using the Heckman approach further increases the gender wage gap. The Blinder Oaxaca decomposition results suggest that most of the wage gap remains unexplained. The explained portion of the gap is almost entirely attributed to industrial variables. We find that the gender wage gap in Georgia diminished between 2000 and 2004.

The head of children's services at Haringey Council was sacked yesterday in the wake of the Baby P case.
Sharon Shoesmith was dismissed "with immediate effect" and will not receive any compensation or payment in lieu of notice, the north London council said in a statement.
Ms Shoesmith, 55, was suspended on 1 December by the Children's Secretary, Ed Balls, after inspectors identified a string of "serious concerns" about child protection services in the area, which they described as "inadequate".
She had provoked widespread public anger when she insisted that her department was not to blame for the death of Baby P.
The news came shortly after the council admitted it had spent £19,000 on media training for some of its high-profile employees, to ensure that they would be equipped to deal with the criticism levelled at their departments in the wake of the Baby P case.
Both Ms Shoesmith and Liz Santry, Haringey's former cabinet member for children and young people, who resigned earlier this month, are understood to be among those who received the training.

Might Google rank links to pages differently based a perception of how related or affiliated those pages might be to each other? For instance, if three pages authored by the same person link to a fourth page, and two other pages, each written by other people, also link to that fourth page, should the three links from the same author count as passing along three times as much link weight as the links from the independently written pages?
A patent granted to Google today shows how the search engine might analyze how "affiliated" pages or sites are to each other, and how their degree of affiliation might influence the amount of weight passed along by each link.
So, for instance, a page that has two links pointing to another page might not pass along twice as much link weight as a single link from that page. A site that has 20 links from its pages to another page may not pass along 20 times as much link weight as a link from one page would.
There are a few different ways that Google might determine how affiliated pages might be to each other, and the patent provides a number of examples of how pages or sites might be considered to be affiliated with one another.
Interlinking between pages and sites: For instance, Google might look at all the links between pages on the web, and pages or sites that are more closely interlinked to each other might be considered to be affiliated.
Traffic patterns: Pages or sites that are visited by many users in the same search or browsing session might also be considered to be affiliated.
Similarity of hostnames Pages that share a domain name or are on subdomains of the same domain can be considered affiliated.
Similarity of IP addresses The Internet Protocol or IP addresses of two web servers may be compared, and if the leading two or three components (octets) of the ID address are identical, affiliation may be inferred.
We don't know if Google is using this method or not, but it is possible that they are. The patent was originally filed in 2004, and its inventors include Krishna Bharat, who amongst many other things invented Google News, Amit Singhal, who is Google's present Head of Search Quality, and Paul Haahr, a co-inventor listed on a number of Google patents including one on Information Retreval based upon Historic Data, another on identifying meaningful stopwords in keywords, how multi-stage query processing might happen at Google, and how query refinements might be identified.
The patent is:
Determining quality of linked documents
Invented by Krishna Bharat, Amit Singhal, and Paul Haahr
Assigned to Google
US Patent 7,783,639
Granted August 24, 2010
Filed June 30, 2004
A ranking component ranks documents, such as web pages or web sites, to obtain a ranking score that defines a quality judgment of the document. The ranking score of a particular document is based on the ranking score of the documents which link to it and based on affiliation among the documents.
To sum up the concept involved in this patent as succinctly as possible, a ranking score calculated for a page might be based upon a function that may (1) limit the value passed along through links from affiliated pages to some maximum value, while (2) adding independent values from non-affiliated pages.
So, for example, a sitewide link to a page might pass along more value than a single link from the same site, but the amount of link weight it would pass along may be capped off as some limited maximun amount because all the links are affiliated since they are on the same domain.
Interestingly, the patent doesn't mention PageRank, which is the original ranking algorithm based upon looking at links between pages to come up with a query independent rank for those pages developed at Stanford by Google's Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as described in the Stanford patent Method for node ranking in a linked database.
But the process described in this patent does echo a number of the processes described in the PageRank patent, while also including a "set location component" that analyzes documents in a database (such as Google's index of web pages), and groups those documents into sets of related documents. The patent shows a screenshot a limited link graph of the Web, with some pages shown as affiliated sets:
Google's patent does describe a number of alternative approaches to determine how much of a contribution value might be passed along to the final ranking score of a page being linked to by non-affiliated pages, and the maximum value that might be passed along by affiliated pages.
This Affiliated Page Link patent was filed the same month in 2004 as Google's Reasonable Surfer patent, which told us that the weight or contribution of a link on a page to the ranking score of a page being linked to might vary from link to link based upon a score involving features of the link, the page the link appears upon, and the page being linked to.
While there's nothing within either patent that indicates they might be related to each other, it's possible that both patents may be, or may have been used by Google.
Google uses a large number of ranking signals, and some are query-dependent signals that depend upon the specific query used to rank pages in search results such as whether or not the query terms appear upon the pages themselves.
Others are query-independent signals that try to weight the quality or importance of a page, such as PageRank, which looks at the quality and quantity of links pointing to a page to determine how "important" that page might be.
The Affiliated Page Link approach trys to limit a calculation of the importance score of a page by links pointing to that page based upon whether or not the source of those links is perceived to be independent or not. The patent tells us, for instance, that "additional links by the same author…should not excessively raise the ranking score" of a document.
I've seen many people writing about sitewide links from the same domain surmise that those links don't pass along as much link weight as they might if they were individual links from different domains. That would be likely under this affiliated page approach. Is it the reason why they might not?
If you are a site owner, what sites might Google consider to be affiliated with your site or sites?

That's a wrap, 2013I got to explore the old packinghouse... |
The past year offered a lot of interesting stories, people and events to photograph. As a photojournalist, I'm always striving to make pictures that help our readers better understand our community. While reviewing my work from 2013, I found many pictures that weren't published but still offer a unique look back on the year. Sometimes there just was not enough space in the newspaper for every picture, and sometimes we chose others that better conveyed the most important part of a story. And sometimes, I simply shoot pictures because what I see looks cool and offers a different ...

Product Description
Available in both tea bags and loose tea, Murchie's Darjeeling Finest Blend Tea offers tea-drinkers a tasteful blend of some of the world's finest Darjeeling and Ceylon teas.
It is a very smooth medium blend with a unique muscatel overtone, with Ceylon tea as a clear, smooth tasting base that enhances the distinctive 2nd flush muscatel flavour of our Darjeeling.
Darjeeling teas are grown in the Himalayan region of West Bengal, India and are considered the Champagne of tea. The unique hilly regions, climate and soil where it is grown create the musky spiciness that Darjeeling is known for and cannot be replicated elsewhere.
Ceylon tea is grown in Sri Lanka, an island off of the southern coast of India. The country Sri Lanka was called Ceylon until 1972 and although the name of the country changed at this time, the name Ceylon was kept for tea.

Strength Ratings
Flavour Profile Guide
Tea and coffee tasting is a very individual, multi-dimensional experience: one person's perfect cup can be too strong or weak, too brisk or watery for the next person. At Murchie's, we believe that the best tea or coffee is the one that YOU like the best! We use the following flavour profile guides to help compare our teas and coffees within a relative scale.
Tea Strength Ratings
This rating method indicates the strength of flavour each tea has when brewed according to our brewing guide.RATING |
Light/Delicate: Very light in colour and delicate in flavour | ||
Medium: Medium-light cup with slightly fuller cup | ||
Medium-Strong: Medium-dark cup, medium body, and full flavour without harshness | ||
Strong: Full body, rich cup, takes milk well | ||
Very Strong: Rich, dark cup with very full, strong flavour and briskness |
Coffee Ratings
We rate the flavour properties of our coffees along two dimensions: roast and body.Roast is simply a result of how long and how hot the beans have been roasted, which can be seen in the colour of the finished bean, and typically results in general flavour traits:
Light Roast | More acidity, brightness and a slight pucker | |
Medium Roast | Slightly richer flavours, some acidity, enhanced creaminess | |
Dark Roast | Distinctive roasted flavour, sometimes notes of toasted sugar or charcoal |
Body is the term used to describe how the brewed coffee feels in your mouth:
Light Body | Easy to drink with little lingering flavour, 'thin' or 'clean' feeling on the palate | |
Medium Body | Heavier, creamier mouth-feel with more lingering flavour | |
Full Body | Rich, full-mouth feeling: hits all of the palate and lingers |
Brewing Guides
Tea Brewing Guide
Different types of teas should be brewed according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240ml) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Brew times shown in minutes.
Coffee Brewing Guide
The simplest methods for brewing coffee are drip coffee, pour over and French press. These guidelines are a starting point; modify the ratio of coffee to water, the grind, and brewing time to your taste. If your coffee is not strong enough, increase the proportion of coffee per cup of water, grind the beans finer, or allow them to brew longer – or any combination of these factors. If your coffee is too strong, simply do the opposite.
Drip coffee or pour over method: hot water is gradually poured over coffee grounds and slowly drips through
• Fine to medium grind coffee
• 1.5 to 2.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup of water
• 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of coffee per cup (e.g. 4-6 tbsp for a 4-cup French press)
• Pour about 1/3 of the water over the coffee grinds; wait about 30 seconds and then pour in the rest
• Wait 4-5 minutes, then push down the plunger to separate the grounds from finished coffee, and enjoy!

Lookie! One of my must-read blogging friends, Becca, gave me this award. She said she was focusing on bloggers that not everyone reads (of course, we'd ALL give awards to Yarn Harlot or my heroine WendyKnits, but they are amply awarded already).
The funny thing is, I had read someone else's nominees for this one and thought, you know, that's a nice one, "you make my day," because that's what a lot of the blogs I read do for me. They just make me happy, knowing that there are people like me out there sharing their extraordinary insights into their normal, everyday lives. It's so much fun for me to see all the fascinating things that go on within the range of "normal everyday living," too.
I don't blog for fame or publicity for my great knitting patterns, because, well, I make patterns for me and am happy if anyone else wants them. And I don't need fame--I had enough of being a big fish in a small pond in my nonprofit organization career to know that the constant scrutiny is hard for an INFP. I like being more of a knitting friend--someone else going through the ups and downs of a life with a big focus on fiber, but not someone competing for readers or feeling compelled to write scintillating copy to entertain people.
Heh, I'm funny sometimes, educational sometimes, and simply documenting my life at other times. I hope some people enjoy it, but I don't expect to be everyone's must-read! (This is a really good thing for me--I finally am growing out of wanting to be a rock star!)
So, knowing that there are people like Becca out there who enjoy what I write makes me feel good--it's nice to be a companion to a cup of coffee/tea/healthy beverage to some reader friends (some I know and some I don't), because bloggers give me so much pleasure. They remind me the world is larger than the headlines, and that there are still kind, generous, funny and thoughtful people out there all over the world. We all need reminders of that nowadays.
OK, the award came with strings, as they all do, hee hee. Here's what they say about the ten other blogs I am supposed to recommend:
"So here's the deal, inspiration and make you feel happy about blogland. Let them know by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on. Beware you may get the award several times."
Getting it once was fine with me. I read a lot of blogs, ranging from "famous" people to personal friends. I'm going to concentrate on blogging and knitting friends to whom I turn daily, eagerly hoping they posted something, but who aren't the "famous experts"--just fellow human beings trying to figure life out. These are NOT all of my favorites--if I comment on your blog, you are one of my favorites!! And some of my favorites haven't been updating often, so I didn't include them.
OK, you people are tagged. Folks, check them out if you want to read some different views:
Bird Salad: Robin in New Jersey, from my old life working with a nonprofit organization, doesn't post a lot, but when she does, it can be brilliant. Read about her thoughts on life and philosophy. She can get you thinking.
Hand in Hand with Sam: a Canadian friend of mine from my old life working with a nonprofit organization, who's a wonderful doula and childbirth educator, and a mom of some great kids. Not a knitting blog, but a real taste of authentic mothering.
The Hermitage: Well, he doesn't knit, but he lives with a knitter. This is my fiance's blog. He recently wrote a sweet post about the sweater I just made him, so there is knitting content.
Knit Stuffs: Another friend from my previous life, who lives in in Florida, is a good knitter and also an enthusiastic SCA member. Her blog's relatively new, so not a lot of readers yet. Check it out!
Liz's Blah Blah Blog: I've known her online since my children were babies, longer than anyone else here,and she's another one I also know "IRL". She has some really interesting political commentary and is not shy about sharing her viewpoint. Whether you agree or not, this Illinois blogger gets you thinking.
Rhonda's Knitting: She used to live near me, but now she doesn't. But I love reading about her lovely knitting projects and her yarn purchases in the Great Northwest. She was also the first knitting podcaster I ever listened to!
Skyline Chilly: Emily works at Lorna's Laces. Inside scoop! Also lots of fun information about being young and living in Chicagoland, a life I wish I'd had.
So Love Is Hard and Love Is Tough: NYJLM is another old-life friend with whom I've reconnected in blogland. She is a wonderfully introspective writer--very honest and open about her issues, and equally generous in sharing the good parts of her life. She is also doing the 365 photos a year thing, and her images of Florida are lovely.
So the Thing Is... currently the blog of Barb, a wonderful humor writer who lives with her children and pets in a very clean home near me, soon to be the blog of Barb, who lives in New York. Great stuff on parenting and some knitting, too!
The Wonderful World of Stephanie: another friend of mine with whom I used to work, who does knit, but I read her blog for the writing. You will usually find her near Washington, DC. Right now she's on a trip to Italy. It's like I am THERE reading her travelogue!

I have had a hysterectomy at least 6 months ago or longer. Every time I have sex I bleed. Sometimes it is light and last for weeks. And other times it is light but a lot and only a day or two. I need to know whats wrong.
Also one more problem. My OB-GYN told me that I will never have to had a pap again. Others said yes I will because of other problems. Well my OB-GYN said at the top of my virginia on the in side, he sewed it up all the way across. Is this normal or is it a new kind of hysterectomy? Can anyone help?

First, I can tell you that you will need a Pap smear...I was surprised about this too...This is probably true because there is tissue at the top of our vagina's and like everything else on our body is open to disease....As far as the bleeding when you are having sex, that is not normal...After this much time you should not be doing this....There is something wrong when this is happening...You will be sewn up after a Hysterectomy if your cervix is removed...If it wasn't you won't...This is why the bleeding that you are doing should not be happening...It should be a closed wound...
I hope this helps...I would definitely have this checked out...

I've had a hysterectomy, but I still have my ovaries. Its been about 4 years now. I had sex once since and didn't bleed. But I had sex for the second time, a little rough. Will that cause a woman to bleed. It stopped the next day. It wasn't like I needed to wear a pad. I had spotting. Is that normal if u have a little rough sex every now and then?

Hi Healthyone1one....Depending upon what you do is what you consider rough sex...Also was your cervix replaced...Without knowing if you had abdominal surgery or how much work was done I couldn't answer this...What I would suggest is to keep yourself lubricated...By this I mean masturbate in between sexual relations...Don't let yourself dry up...If this spotting continues I would tell my OB-GYN about it on my next appointment...Take care...

Green, Leslie
- Date of Birth:
- 1875
- Date of Death:
- 31 Aug 1908
Leslie Green was the architect of many of the early station buildings on the Northern, Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines. These lines were run by the Underground Electric Railways of London (U.E.R.L), established by Charles Tyson Yerkes. The separate lines needed to have a united public face, part of the U.E.R.L's standardisation programme to make them into a network. Green was commissioned to design 40 station buildings as a cohesive group. He chose the style known as Arts & Crafts Classical. The distinctive look of the stations, all clad in oxblood red glazed faience blocks, made them easily recognisable even in a busy metropolis.
Green was a Londoner, born in Maida Vale in 1875. He was the son of Crown Surveyor, Arthur C Green, and Emily Ann Green. Green began his career as his father's apprentice for two years after leaving Dover College.
He studied at the South Kensington Arts School and in Paris before setting up his own architectural practice in London in 1897. He was only 22 years old. It was in Paris that Green came into contact with Art Nouveau, a style that inspired much of his work.
He became a Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (R.I.B.A) in 1899. Early commissions included the remodelling of 26 Kensington Palace Gardens, and the design of shops and chambers in St James's Street, Bury Street, and Haymarket.
In 1902 Green married Mildred. The couple had a daughter, Vera. The turning point in his career came when he was appointed architect to the U.E.R.L. in 1903 at the age of 28. This was a huge responsibility for the young architect, whose commissions until that point had been on a much smaller scale.
Green's task was to develop a consistent yet flexible style that could be used on sites of varying shapes and sizes, with different requirements. It is thought that he based his ideas on the Holborn Viaduct station designed by Lewis Isaacs in 1873.
The oxblood faience blocks produced a somewhat flamboyant effect. They were constructed around a load-bearing steel frame, which was a cheap and comparatively quick method of building the two-storey buildings. Shops and booking halls occupied the ground floor, while the lift equipment was housed on the first floor, behind the semi-circular windows. All the buildings were designed to allow further storeys to be built on them. Selling off the site for development, if required, was an important way of raising capital.

"This isn't a watercolor, it's a mural."
Erich Segal
"We're installing the base mural, and once we do, we'll sell portrait tiles to replace the tile on the base mural."
Cate Ervin
"With its fine painting and its elaborate mural showing the mythic basis of kingship, the chamber has upended much of what we thought we knew about the early Maya."
William Saturno
"The two murals are going to be just as they were - a permanent part of the courtroom. They are going to be reinstalled in the same way, and they're not going to be hung like a picture. They will be put into the wall just like they were painted in the new location."
Commissioner Norman Wimer
"You see all the murals of all the great players. You never really think you'd be mentioned alongside any of them."
Dan Spang
"The mural shows that early Maya painting had achieved a high level of sophistication and grace well before the great works of the Classic Maya in the seventh century."
"Writing your name on a truck alongside 168 is not artwork. If you can make a mural that people can understand, that's artwork."
Chad Watkins
"The two robins in the mural were painted for my wife, Robin."
Tom Carson
"At this point we need to find out what walls could be used for outside wall murals, how the walls would have to be prepared to take a mural and how the mural would get painted and preserved. There are many professional mural painters, but we could use local artists as well."
Barbara Porch
"I think the mural, when it's complete, is going to be spectacular. I think it's an unusual medium, sculptured brick."

Sick Betta (pic)
I have a 63 litre cycled tank. My betta has been fine until yesterday. He had initially flared up at my platties when I first got him but calmed down.
Yesterday I added a female fighter, 5 tetras and 2 dwarf Gouramis. Immediately he started chasing and flaring at all the new fish, but especially the Gouramis. I went to my boyfriends and when I came back today, I had a dead molly and a dead female guppy. He has never bothered either of these before, so I don't know if they maybe died from something else. Anyway, all today I have noticed he is still chasing the gouramis. Then a few hours ago, I noticed him hovering at the top of the tank beside the filter. When I looked closely at him, a lot of his fins have become threadbare, you can only see the the thread running through them. He was not like this yesterday. I have not seen any other fish bothering him,it's been the opposite. What do you think is wrong with him? Is it stress? I have tested the water, there is no ammonia or nitrite and minimal nitrate.

0Gouramis and bettas should never ever ever ever be mixed. They are closely related and will fight till the death. Even your two gouramis will fight. Keeping males and female fighters is tricky and requires multiple females to one male. Generally unless you intend to breed them them never mix them.
I advise you rehome the gouramis aswell as the female fighter and review your stocking options.Last edited by ScottishFish; 03-03-2013 at 10:10 PM.

0Really? The fish shop said they'd be fine together. Plus when I went back today for something, I mentioned he was flaring at them and the assistant said how that was unusual, they usually get along fine.
0The information the pet store gave you is completely false. This happens often. Pet stores are pretty much the worst place to ask questions.
Def return the Gouramis.130g: 4 Angelfish, 2 Roseline Sharks, 12 Conga Tetras, 5 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Otocinslus, 1 Corydora

0Ok, so do you think they have been biting him then and that is how he has got like that?
0No doubt about it.
My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .
0What horrible advice by the store! LFS advice is generally pretty bad but this is unacceptable. I wouldn't shop there any longer if I were you.
Male and female bettas should never be kept together. Some people try but it's just not a good idea.
A dwarf gourami and a betta can work but it's not commonly done and the conditions must be right (large tank, lots of places and hiding spaces, etc.).
Two male dwarf gourami should not be kept together.

Prayer for family decisions
Please pray The Lord guides us regarding work & relationship decisions. My husband recently re-located for his job and we need to rent or sell our house in the near future. So far we are staying temporarily in our travel trailer in an RV park to save on expenses while 2 of our adult children live in our home, which is 3 hours away. We have been coming home every weekend, but we need to make some decisions that can help us settle. OUr daughter needs to decide if she will live with us and is uncertain since her baby's father doesn't want her to leave and is prolonging getting married...please pray he makes up his mind soon so she can either marry him or move with us. She needs us to live...no job and needs to finish school and needs help with her son. Our sons still need our support too. Thanks!

PLUS YOU BETTER WATCH OUT IN THAT NIEGHBORHOOD. WILL THE VEGAS PLAYERS PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS COMPLEX?? |
Aug. 22, 2012 Dbax Men's 60 1619 posts | Yeah, what he said! |
Aug. 22, 2012 rightrj1 Men's 55 243 posts | Guys the CHEYENNE COMPLEX has been reconstructed with 4 very nice fields and ample parking....The nieghborhood is still the same but fenced off from you outsiders coming in starting trouble...lol |
Aug. 22, 2012 Dbax Men's 60 1619 posts | Do you think they will completely reconstruct the neighborhood before the tournament? With the $700 entry fee, they could afford it! |
Aug. 23, 2012 rightrj1 Men's 55 243 posts | Dbax, I don't think SSUSA owns the park or the people...lol |

Aug. 23, 2012 Garocket Men's 55 222 posts | Crusader I have been to Cheyenne park many times. Is it the best in Vegas NO. But if it is the worst you have ever played on, then I know you have not traveled a lot to play ball. Any one in the 50s-70s have surely played on fields with no fences and fields that have grass growing up in the infields. Well Cheyenne is not that way. Actually the fields are not bad at all. The neighbor is not a good one, but never been threatened or shot at while I was there. |
Aug. 23, 2012 Dbax Men's 60 1619 posts | 400, I used to, but retired now. Really just a jab at the OUTRAGEOUS entry fee in these down economic times. |
Aug. 23, 2012 taits Men's 65 4538 posts | As they say, What ever the traffic will bear. Only one close that that cost was the Worlds in Phx last Oct. at 660. Ouch. The TOC is reasonable at 450. All other TOC birth were in the 500 prices ranges but 1, I believe & it was below 500. Now I know why my team isn't going. But talked about it. I hadn't looked at cost before this. |
Aug. 23, 2012 Fabe Men's 55 329 posts | High price, plus coming in fom the Tropics! Yet will be cool to play against all the various teams. Lookn forward to meetn some of you! Aloha, Fab |

Aug. 24, 2012 ALLPRO 49 posts | Damn Ron you are getting "grumpy" in your old age! The team I'm on will also be playing at the Cheyenne complex and you will find it much improved since the last time you were there. Maybe I'll get lucky and be able to see you hit a "tater" or two. Take Care and say hi to that lovely wife of yours. |
Aug. 24, 2012 rightrj1 Men's 55 243 posts | Allpro, you been peaking in my bedroom, my wife says the thing...lol It's weird how as you getting older you become more honest with GROWN ASS MEN....lol I hope to see you too in vegas, and i really hope I hit more then just 2 taters....I'll tell Kim you said hello! |

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS2162282
This kit comes with three separate thermal fuses and is usually used with clothes dryers that have a fan mounted on the motor shaft. Included within this kit is the high limit (Limit: 258) the gas high limit (Limit: 240) and the gas and electric high limit thermostat (Limit: 300).
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
This high limit/safety thermostat is used on many gas and electric clothes dryers. It is made of metal, and is almost two inches long. With this thermostat, a dryer's heating element will cut out if the internal temperature reaches 258 degrees Fahrenheit. The element will kick back in when the temperature drops to 178 degrees Fahrenheit.
I started by unplugging the power source. I took the putty knife to push the two clips on front under the top edge of machine to raise the top. located & removed two screws (one on each side) to remove the front. I removed the door switch so I could then remove front to facilitate a good cleaning inside the lint trap & dryer itself. I then located & removed high limit thermostat. On my dryer model the thermal fuse is located below the heating coils so I removed them & the front bracket they are attached to so I could get to fuse. I removed & replaced fuse & reassembled parts & pieces. Plugged in dryer & success as it seems to run as good as new. Thanks for your quick response in shipment & especially your listing of repair tips. John B.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
1- cleared all the ducts. (They were clogged and this is what caused the fuse to open)2- Replaced the fuse from the kit3- The dryer stopped working again after 1/2 hour -the fuse blew-up again4- Altough the stat (the other part included in the kit) checked OK with the multimeter, it was actually defective and did not regulate the temp.5- changed both parts included in the kit, the dryer worked normally again.
Pulled the cap off, used a 7/16" socket with 10" extension, lifted the agitator off, cleaned & installed the repair kit, very simple repair.
Followed the diagram posted on this website to remove and replace the high limit thermal sensor and thermal fuse. My husband thinks I'm a genius, but it really was easy or I couldn't have done it.PS - Don't forget to try to fix what caused the fuse to blow in the first place - in my case it was years of lint build-up.
used the tips found on this site, cannot state it any better than that. For $50, for parts and 1 day shipping, it was well worth it. Put in new parts and started right up.
Used key tip to open dryer lid. Used an ohm meter to check door siwtch and fuses; found thermal limit fuse open. Took photo of wiring for reference. Disconnected heat element and fuses. Removed temp sensor from above element and removed screw retaining heater. Needle nose pliers used to remove clip which retains thermal fuse. Replaced thermal fuse with matching color coded dot (purple) and reinstalled clip. Check the seating of clip and fuse, this is an important safety feature. Put element back in place and checked that retaining screw properly secured clip/fuse. Replaced temp sensor with new unit and reinstalled over heater. Connected wiring and used ohm meter to check for shorts to chasis. Verified all connections secure and no loose wire clips. Closed lid, plugged unit into AC and runs perfect. This is a good time to check all lint traps, housing, and duct work for excess lint. Clogged ducts can cause fire an run unit longer than needed to dry clothes. Partselect.com is by far the best repair parts site.
My husband raised up the top of the dryer and removed the heating coil and fuse w/bracket. Installed new fuse in that one. He then proceeded to go further down into the dryer and found the bracket with the other 2 fuses. He replaced those. Put all parts back together. Cleaned out all the built up lint. Plugged it in and it works like the day it was new. Your comment section and video repair clip of this was tremendous in helping us determine what our problem was. About $35.00 total for this repair. Thank you
After viewing the video and looking at the problem at hand, it was relatively easy to simply replace the parts. At first I wasn't really sure this was the problem, but I figured, if it worked, then it cost me about $30, so it was worth the chance. Otherwise it would have been a new dryer. Hey, it worked, and the video made it easy. The only somewhat difficult part was maneuvering around some of the sharp, edgy parts of the machine. I dropped a screw and used an extension magnet to pick it up. Overall, it was easy. Thanks for the help.
I have no knowlegde about electrical repair.I just read all problems and video on how to repair this dryer.So dryer won't start ,Ichange the timer assembly,resistor and the last one is high limit kit.I follow all instruction and remove the defective parts one by one ,piece by piece while looking on the pc for instruction to repair it.Less than 30 minutes I'm done.Thank you part select for your tutorial on line that save me money to buy a new one.Now my dryer run smooth as new one...Bingo.
Followed the video instructions online - very easy repair and saved me some money.
I read the repair instructions on the site and watched the video. I followed someone else's suggestion and took the front of the dryer down to clean out the area below the lint trap. I know why the fuse blew! Then I was able to replace the fuse and the high limit fuse. Let me tell you, the instructions are really easy - I'm a 43 year old woman and my 4 1/2 year old son was helping me. We managed to fix the dryer before Daddy got home! Thank you!
IMPORTANT!!! Before doing this repair I had already replaced thermal fuse kit and the dryer worked for a few days but the fuses blew again. After digging deeper I realized the fuses were blowing because there was too much lint disturbing the air flow behind the lint catcher on the FRONT panel. Found instructions on Parts select to remove front panel and clean that area leading into the blower fan. I followed instructions and then replaced the thermal fuse kit and the dryer has since been working normally.
I went to the part selects website, put my dryers part number into the "find your part" field,,, on the next page i clicked on my symptom "will not start",, next page pops up with what part is bad and a video of a repairman actually doing the repair step by step (very cool). I purchased the recommended part, got the parts in a couple of days and did the repair myself,"fantastic". I love this website, I saved a lot of money in repairs and saved a lot of my time bringing it too and from the repair shop. I will recommend this website to all of my friends. Jimmy
After replacing these parts (VERY EASY!) my dryer is back online. As a mechanic/oilfield/trucker, I don't have time to mess around with this kind of stuff. My husband wanted to take the credit here.....lol. THANK YOU!
I googled issue, and partselect.com came up with their thermostat kit as the solution. After following the youtube video on the part page, my dryer was fixed for less than $35!

Orthodox Jewish All Stars
"Jew in the City" fans are used to watching entrepreneurial Allison Josephs sitting on her living room set expounding humorously and informatively into the camera about Orthodox Jewish life. But this time she's gotten off her couch and out into the field to film a video called "Orthodox Jewish All Stars," that shows that not all Orthodox Jews spend their lives in the yeshiva or kitchen, as some might assume.
In fact, Orthodox Jews can be found on Capitol Hill, the Billboard charts, the bestseller lists, the performance stage, the basketball court, the Rhodes Scholars list, and the steps of the Supreme Court. Others can be found in television network production meetings, or in the boxing ring.
"People are often incredulous when I explain to them that Orthodox Jews are professionally active in all different parts of society," Josephs told The Forward in a phone interview. So, rather than continuing on her own to try to break down stereotypes, Josephs steps aside and lets a bunch of exceptionally successful Orthodox Jews — ranging from liberal Modern Orthodox to Hasidic — speak for themselves.
These "All Stars" are: Senator Joel Lieberman; author Faye Kellerman; recording artist Alex Clare; media producer and marketer (Jamie Geller;](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jamie-geller) pro boxer Dmitriy Salita; pro basketball player Tamir Goodman; comedian Mendy Pellin, Supreme Court law clerk and Sharsheret founder and director Rochelle Shoretz, Rhodes Scholar Miriam Rosenbaum; and the Maccabeats a cappella group.
They all say a bit about themselves and how they balance being an Orthodox Jew with their profession commitments. And then at the end Mendy Pellin provides a little comic relief. "Orthodox Jews do have a lot of career options. But let's face it. We can't do everything. Like, we can't be pork taste testers," he jokes in his stand-up act. "When was the last time you saw an Orthodox Jew as a pork taste tester?"
"The biggest challenge was collecting all these super-busy people," Josephs said about the four months of work that went into making the video. "But it was better for me to show than tell," she said about being behind the camera this time. Indeed, it was very rewarding for her to find that these people also cared about "straightening out our image," as she put it.
It appears that people are highly interested in meeting this All Star lineup. The clip has garnered more than 40,000 views in just the first few days since it was posted on December 9—setting a record for "Jew in the City" videos. Might this mean that there will be an "All Stars" video part 2?

Justin Bieber, 20, and Selena Gomez, 21, are certainly feeling each other these days and maybe in more ways than one. HollywoodLife.com has the EXCLUSIVE details to prove that these two are definitely getting in the quality time.
Justin and Selena are diving back into their relationship head first. The two werespotted recently on a little date in Texas. Selena is performing there in her first concert since getting out of rehab.
However, it's the "extra quality" time that the two have been putting in that have our ears buzzing. A source close to Justin has reveal exclusively to HollywoodLife.com that Justin and Selena have rekindled that old flame and all the intimacy that comes with it.
When asked if Justin was going to see Selena perform in concert, our source revealed to us that Justin said the performances have already started. Wink wink!
"She's performing for him right now, as we speak," The source toldHollywoodLife.com exclusively. "He's getting a bunch of private shows for lost time if you know what I mean."
The performances don't seem to stop in the bedroom. Also while in Texas, the two hot and heavy stars locked themselves in one of Action Dance's studios for over two hours on Mar. 7. Yair Cruz, who owns Action Dance Studio along with his wife Alexandria, told HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Justin and Selena's arrival was a total surprise. Yair said a choreographer set up the appointment without naming names.
One other thing the Action Dance Studio owner noticed was that Justin and Selena's chemistry was still there. "They were together then and they seem together now," Yair said. "They were practicing a dance together, so what do you think?"

text: As more adults take to Facebook, their teenagers are less inclined to hang out on the world's most popular social network. Instead, the younger crowd is taking to sites like Twitter and Tumblr, where fewer parents have ventured and using real names is optional. The Los Angeles Times takes a look at this and other teen social networking trends.
