Double, Double Toil and Trouble…
Fire burn, and caldron bubble. The witches in Shakespeare's Macbeth conjured up a hellish mix that included "Eye of newt, and toe of frog / Wool of bat, and tongue of dog." Don't expect to come up with anything quite that exotic when Secret Woods Nature Center offers Concoctions, Potions, Blends, and Brews: Extractions, a combination lecture/workshop. But you will learn how to make a variety of herbal extractions. The program, for ages 18 and up, runs from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 7, and the fees are $10 Florida sales tax for the lecture and a separate $10 requested donation to the Friends of Secret Woods volunteer group to cover the cost of supplies.

Nature To Go
You can now take a little bit of Broward County nature home with you – thanks to a series of nature posters produced and sold by Broward County Parks. The six posters, all photographed in the county's parks, nature centers, and natural areas, feature American white waterlilies, burrowing owls, a gray fox, live oak trees, a prairie iris, and a queen butterfly. The posters look great either framed or unframed, and they're a distinctive way to bring a taste of nature into your home or office. They also make excellent gifts.
The offices at seven facilities have the posters available for purchase: the Anne Kolb Nature Center at West Lake Park in Hollywood, Fern Forest Nature Center in Coconut Creek, Long Key Natural Area & Nature Center in Davie, Markham Park in Sunrise, Plantation Heritage Park in Plantation, Tree Tops Park in Davie, and T.Y. Park in Hollywood.
The high-quality posters, which measure 18 inches by 24 inches, retail for $10, including Florida sales tax. You can also purchase posters by mail from Broward County Parks and Recreation, 950 N.W. 38th St., Oakland Park, FL 33309. Mail-order posters are $15 (includes Florida sales tax, shipping, and handling), with checks/money orders payable to Broward County Parks and Recreation.

The Chargers continued to solidify their offensive backfield by agreeing with running back Ronnie Brown today on a new one-year contract. It comes on the heels of this morning's two-year contract agreement with former New England Patriots running back Danny Woodhead.
Brown returns to the Chargers after spending the 2012 season in San Diego. The ninth-year pro from Cartersville, Georgia via Auburn University played in 14 games for the Bolts last season, starting one. Though he rushed for 220 yards on 46 carries, Brown was utilized primarily for his strength as a third-down back and he tied for second on the team with 49 receptions, good for 371 yards.
Brown was the second overall pick in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins. In six seasons for the Dolphins, he rushed for 4,815 yards and 36 touchdowns, while catching 184 passes for 1,491 yards and a pair of scores. He ranks third on the Dolphins' all-time list for rushing yards and touchdowns, and is tied with Hall of Fame running back Larry Csonka for the second-most 100-yard rushing games in team history. From 2005-07, Brown averaged better than 4.0 yards per carry for the Dolphins, becoming the team's first back to do so for three-straight seasons since Tony Nathan from 1983-85.
Brown posted his only 1,000-yard season in 2006, rushing for 1,008 yards for the Dolphins. He earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2008 after scoring a career-high 10 touchdowns, while rushing for 916 yards. A versatile threat, Brown also threw two touchdown passes for the Dolphins out of the Wildcat formation, one each during the 2008 and '09 seasons against New England.

iControl Buys Maker of Piper, a DIY Security Device
iControl, a provider of a cloud-based security and interactive home control platform, has acquired BlackSumac, the maker of Piper, a do-it-yourself video surveillance and control system.
By Julie Jacobson · April 9, 2014
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — iControl, provider of a leading cloud-based security and interactive home automation platform, has acquired Blacksumac, maker of the Piper DIY surveillance and control system launched last year via Indiegogo.
Piper packs cloud-enabled security, Z-Wave home automation, a unique panoramic video camera, and multiple sensors into a standalone DIY device, making it "way smarter" than Canary (as I wrote last year on SSI's sister site CEPro.com), a similarly hyped product that also launched through crowdfunding last year.
The acquisition puts iControl into the hardware business, a departure from its software-centric focus.
The press release announcing the acquisition suggests Piper will become a "platform" within iControl's existing SaaS portfolio that includes:
iControl Converge (OpenHome), used by Xfinity/Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox and other cable companies and telcos, featuring a ZigBee-centric ecosystem and a self-contained touchscreen controller; acquired from uControl in 2010.
iControl Connect, used by ADT Pulse and emerging solutions from other security-centric providers.
iControl Touchstone, a DIY platform recently deployed by Xfinity/Comcast
Stay tuned to SSI for more insights into the acquisition.
The press release follows.

Subculture of Americans prepares for civilization's collapse
Sat, Jan 21 2012By Jim Forsyth
(Reuters) - When Patty Tegeler looks out the window of her home overlooking the Appalachian Mountains in southwestern Virginia, she sees trouble on the horizon.
"In an instant, anything can happen," she told Reuters. "And I firmly believe that you have to be prepared."
Tegeler is among a growing subculture of Americans who refer to themselves informally as "preppers." Some are driven by a fear of imminent societal collapse, others are worried about terrorism, and many have a vague concern that an escalating series of natural disasters is leading to some type of environmental cataclysm.
They are following in the footsteps of hippies in the 1960s who set up communes to separate themselves from what they saw as a materialistic society, and the survivalists in the 1990s who were hoping to escape the dictates of what they perceived as an increasingly secular and oppressive government.
Preppers, though are, worried about no government.
Tegeler, 57, has turned her home in rural Virginia into a "survival center," complete with a large generator, portable heaters, water tanks, and a two-year supply of freeze-dried food that her sister recently gave her as a birthday present. She says that in case of emergency, she could survive indefinitely in her home. And she thinks that emergency could come soon.
"I think this economy is about to fall apart," she said.
A wide range of vendors market products to preppers, mainly online. They sell everything from water tanks to guns to survival skills.
Conservative talk radio host Glenn Beck seems to preach preppers' message when he tells listeners: "It's never too late to prepare for the end of the world as we know it."
"Unfortunately, given the increasing complexity and fragility of our modern technological society, the chances of a societal collapse are increasing year after year," said author James Wesley Rawles, whose Survival Blog is considered the guiding light of the prepper movement.
A former Army intelligence officer, Rawles has written fiction and non-fiction books on end-of-civilization topics, including "How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It," which is also known as the preppers' Bible.
"We could see a cascade of higher interest rates, margin calls, stock market collapses, bank runs, currency revaluations, mass street protests, and riots," he told Reuters. "The worst-case end result would be a Third World War, mass inflation, currency collapses, and long term power grid failures."
A sense of "suffering and being afraid" is usually at the root of this kind of thinking, according to Cathy Gutierrez, an expert on end-times beliefs at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. Such feelings are not unnatural in a time of economic recession and concerns about a growing national debt, she said.
"With our current dependence on things from the electric grid to the Internet, things that people have absolutely no control over, there is a feeling that a collapse scenario can easily emerge, with a belief that the end is coming, and it is all out of the individual's control," she told Reuters.
She compared the major technological developments of the past decade to the Industrial Revolution of the 1830s and 1840s, which led to the growth of the Millerites, the 19th-Century equivalent of the preppers. Followers of charismatic preacher Joseph Miller, many sold everything and gathered in 1844 for what they believed would be the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Many of today's preppers receive inspiration from the Internet, devouring information posted on websites like that run by attorney Michael T. Snider, who writes The Economic Collapse blog out of his home in northern Idaho.
"Modern preppers are much different from the survivalists of the old days," he said. "You could be living next door to a prepper and never even know it. Many suburbanites are turning spare rooms into food pantries and are going for survival training on the weekends."
Like other preppers, Snider is worried about the end of a functioning U.S. economy. He points out that tens of millions of Americans are on food stamps and that many U.S. children are living in poverty.
"Most people have a gut feeling that something has gone terribly wrong, but that doesn't mean that they understand what is happening," he said. "A lot of Americans sense that a massive economic storm is coming and they want to be prepared for it."
So, assuming there is no collapse of society -- which the preppers call "uncivilization" -- what is the future of the preppers?
Gutierrez said that unlike the Millerites -- or followers of radio preacher Harold Camping, who predicted the world would end last year -- preppers are not setting a date for the coming destruction. The Mayan Calendar predicts doom this December.
"The minute you set a date, you are courting disconfirmation," she said.
Tegeler, who recalls being hit by tornadoes and floods in her southwestern Virginia home, said that none of her "survival center" products will go to waste.
"I think it's silly not to be prepared," she said. "After all, anything can happen."

of all the AR-15 parts he has got ONE assembled? he needs to get to work!
Interesting story however. Many preppers I know understand that something is going to happen, be it economic collapse, world event, natural desaster, whatever. They are not hoping for it just preparing . You would be a fool to not think something its coming.
I have friends who have told me that they will just go to the store when something happens.....I try to explain to them if you get snowed in for 5 days with the power off how are you getting to the store. They tell me no problem. Some have that mentality, they don;t realize our food chain is under-developed for our population, that the food chain is streached to the limit and we rely too much on foreign produced food, 75 - 80% now by some estimates.
If the food can't move from the port or across the border the store shelves will be bare. People are just to comfy in the fact that they can jump in their car and grab their case of beer and chips whenever they please and it will always be there. Same people think the water will always come from the tap because thats just how it is...
My rant is over.... other was I will just keep going on about stupid people..

We were the only ones with lights after IKE. Plus, we were the only ones cooking HOT food out back.
Regular power was off for 11 days. But, not mine.
Notice that the prime display area is occupied by an AK-47...
I don't see "prepper" (I loathe that word) here, just some guy buying low-priced stuff on the installment plan, maybe. A box of ammo every payday, a gun every now and then, you're looking at maybe two years' accumulation for a modest gun enthusiast.
I don't see food, water, battery operated radios, medical supplies, packs of seeds, or any of the other things I associate with long-term survival.
he may be going 'ennie, mennie miney mo" on which one hes taking to the pawn shop!!
Anybody that bases there entire "prepper" planning on guns and ammunition, and little else, will have to become a looter and a criminal. And as such they would be subject to whatever "law" is king of the streets at the time, whether local, military, or street justice.
Can someone answer this question for me? Why pick so many weapons of so many different calibers and types? Logistically that has to be a nightmare.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
Only an idiot does that. I have quite a different number of calibers for my range toys BUT, my "go to" list only includes 4, two rifle calibers, a pistol caliber and 12 gauge. Keep a couple of thou of each rifle caliber, a thou for the pistol and a thou for the shotgun, rest of the money goes into water, food, survival gear, etc.
I'm not planning on getting myself into any protracted long term gun battles, only to have enough to defend what i have for as long as possible.
The simplest plan and cheapest would be to forego and rifles and pistol and just go with the 12 gauge and put the rest of your money into food, water, etc. If i only had the money for one gun thats what i would do.

Holidays go digital at the cash register, too
More C.O. stores offer electronic receipts
BEND, Ore. - Inside Lone Pine Coffee Shop in downtown Bend, there is tea, coffee beans and ... an iPad.
"It's a little cheaper, more simple for us, the whole process," owner Scott Witham explained Thursday.
Using the Square app, with the swipe of your card and a few taps on the screen, you can tip, sign and have your receipt emailed or texted to you within seconds.
The simplicity is not only appealing to business owners like Witham, it's also saving money.
"That was the reason we did it -- the rate was cheaper, the merchant services was cheaper. Simpler and cheaper for us," Witham said.
Apple's already been offering digital receipts for quite some time. But this holiday season, more local stores than ever before like Crows Feet Commons, The Dough Nut and Crux Fermentation Project, to name a few, are offering online receipts.
"It's nice -- it's handy," said one Bend resident.
"It's simple and it's fast, and we're always on computers, so I can print out my own receipt," said another Bend resident.
High-tech consumers seem to be pleased with the idea of not having to keep track of all the paper copies. But the big-box retail stores could also use that email address for other reasons.
"It's faster, less paper, get it out of the way, plus the store gets its data file to send to the new consumer," said Steven Osinski, a marketing professor at San Diego State.
Sending an email is also giving some stores like Macy's and Nordstrom the opportunity to send extra ads and promotions straight to your inbox. So be sure to ask if you can opt out of that option.
Consumer experts say it doesn't mean the paper receipt will go away completely. It just means you might have to adapt.
"Out of 100 transactions a day, we only give out about five paper receipts. People like it. It gives them options," Witham said.
If you're worried about the safety of your online receipt, consumer experts say, it's just like purchasing something online -- it's at your own risk.

Web stats page not currently working
Looks like since this morning the web page isn't generating the JavaScript section that defines all the stats variables that are referenced in the display portion of the web page. I think someone else mentioned this happened a while ago. Maybe a server hiccup?
Re: Web stats page not currently working
Re: Web stats page not currently working
I went back to look at some old UC2 stats for some reason the other day and realised how much superior that format was.
Sorting by game modes, by map... the UC3 stats project, which I assume has been abandoned, is a complete failure. heck none of teh DLC maps thumbnails even work.
it's amateur hour over there.

Re: Web stats page not currently working
I get this problem for Uncharted 3 only. Uncharted 2's stats page works perfectly. It says my last match in U3 was in 1969. I have friends that can vouch I was not born anywhere near that year. In fact, PS3 OR Uncharted 3 didn't exist either correct? Why is that even an option then? Ah well, guess ND will adddress it with the quickness they have with patches! JK ND, I'm joking haha

6 Apps To Know About
Posted on Nov. 24, 2012
The holiday shopping season is well underway and if you're like us you've got shopping carts started on a few or 12 different sites. Not ready to purchase something, but afraid we'll forget about it, we toss it in the cart as a bookmark for later. It's a completely unorganized and inefficient way of doing things, but just in the nick of time we've discovered some uber cool apps that make shopping, particularly online shopping, so much easier. And fun, if you could just fathom that.

When organic cocoa butter melts, it has an irresistible chocolate scent- making your massage a pleasure for the nose, as well as your muscles!
If massages aren't part of your routine, keep your skin soft by scrubbing down in the shower with our best-selling Buffy body butter or relaxing in a hot bath with our Dreamtime bath melt.

Congress averted a government shutdown last week by passing a new continuing resolution (CR) that funds agencies through March 18. President Obama signed the resolution into law on Wednesday.
Concerns about a shutdown had increased when the House originally passed a CR with over $61 billion in cuts while Senate Democrats argued that a new CR should continue 2010 levels. The dispute was temporarily resolved with $4 billion in initial cuts drawn from earmarks and savings proposals in the President's budget. Most other programs will continue to be funded at 2010 levels.
To avoid a government shutdown later this month, however, Congress will need to reach another agreement before the new CR expires. During negotiations with Republicans last week, the White House offered an additional $6.5 billion in cuts and the Senate Appropriations Committee unveiled a proposed seven-month CR allocating the cuts. The Senate is expected to consider the various proposals this week.

We Have Band: Debut Album, WHB, Out Today
We have ears. We have hearts. We also have feet that love to move nonstop whenever we hear a lovely tune or two from forever a Beaston-fave, in We Have Band. With the trio's debut album, WHB, out today we all have reason to get down with the goings on from this talented troupe of musicians.
After going back through my archives, it's evident that We Have Band are long overdue for a massively mega rad post. While yes, we first swooned for the track Oh! some 2+ years ago, we've dotted along with the band's career and tossed out a goodie every now and again. But since it's their official debut album release day, I figure that the only fitting thing to do is dump a ton of treats on you.
And don't worry, it's all legit, sprinkled with some exclusive mixes, personal faves, and a video from WHB themselves, thanking bloggers for their support.
All I can say is you're welcome. Oh (Oh! puns), and go buy WHB now.

Comings and Goings is a blog written by Theology, Formation, and Evangelism Director Charles B. "Chip" Hardwick as he travels throughout the church. God is on the move out and about in the world, working to redeem all things in Jesus Christ. As we join this mission, by the power of the Spirit we see God on the move. This blog contains glimpses of how Chip finds this to be true in his comings and goings.
You can follow Chip on twitter (@chiphardwick) or find him on Facebook (Chip Hardwick).
I'm grateful for the opportunity to preach fairly regularly as I travel throughout the church. I will post them periodically, as I do three recent sermons here.

John Robert Joiner Jr., age 52, of Sugarloaf Key, Fla., peacefully passed away in his home Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, surrounded by his family. John fought a hard but short battle with bladder cancer.
John was a husband to one, a father to four and a great friend to many. Even though John left us very early, those who knew him knew he squeezed two lifetimes into one. He was always busy coming and going, spending as much time with family and friends as possible. John touched so many lives in a positive way.
Out of high school, he served our country as a member of the Marine Corps. He worked formerly for Skillman Construction and was a former member of the Brandywine Valley Chapter of the Phoenix Motorcycle Club.
John cared for others as a respiratory therapist at Lower Keys Medical Center in Key West. While living up North, he provided care at Christiana, St. Francis and Kent General hospitals, as well as Union Hospital of Cecil County, Md.
He traveled miles and miles touring the country on his motorcycle, most recently taking his youngest son from Key West to Anchorage, Alaska, for the summer of his 50th birthday.
He loved life and made friends everywhere he was -- boating, on camping trips, bowling leagues, at dances and rock concerts. He enjoyed the little things in life, like just watching his son grow up playing football and baseball. He loved to talk to and listen to others. John was one of those people who got along with everyone and everyone got along with him. He always had a smile that made you feel welcomed.
John saved, enhanced and touched so many lives while he was with us, but his main focus was always his family. Following his dreams, they moved to Key West in 2007. Nothing was more important to him than his wife, Leah; his sons, Jeramy Sheeley, 30, of Phoenix, Ariz. and Jeffrey Joiner, 9, of Key West; and daughters, Ashley (Plows) and her husband, Adam Chamberlain, of Key West and Maddi Kreer, 19, of Newark, Del. John is also survived by his parents, Jackquline and Harry Fowler of Millsboro, Del., and John R. Joiner Sr. of Newark, Del.; his brother, Kevin Joiner of Cecil County, Md.; and a niece and nephew.
We will all miss John in our own way. We will take our memories of him and put them in that place in our souls that no one knows about.
Everyone knows the brightest stars burn out the fastest: John was that star. In closing, I'd like to quote a song from one of John's favorite bands: Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here."
A ceremony in celebration of his life will be held at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, 2013, at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, Key West. Those who are unable to attend in person may join in by logging on http://bit.ly/1b6nOHp at that time to share in the memorial. In lieu of flowers, the family is suggesting donations be made to an account for his son Jeffrey in his father's memory, part of which Jeffrey wishes to donate to the American Cancer Society. Donations can be mailed to Bank of America, 3200 Flagler Ave., Key West, FL 33040, Attn: For Jeffrey Joiner.
Arrangements entrusted to Castillo & Thurston's Key West Mortuary and Cremation Center.

Posted: September 26, 2002 in ACE Press Releases
A Long Island man filed a $320 million lawsuit against a Manhattan health club claiming it recklessly prescribed nutritional supplements that caused the death of his 37-year-old wife, who had joined the club to lose weight. The woman died after suffering a stroke while working out with her personal trainer.
The CBS report stated that the "lawsuit has helped expose two health club secrets. The first is sometimes a certified personal trainer isn't certified. The second is there is no standard - national, state or otherwise - for what the word certified means."
The American Council on Exercise urges all Americans to choose a personal trainer who is professionally certified. "Consumers should demand fitness professionals whose qualifications and professional competencies are beyond reproach," said Ken Germano, ACE Executive Director. "Competent exercise guidance should always be the integral element of any consumer's exercise experience."
Personal training can never be an effective tool for achieving optimal health and fitness if it is not first and foremost safe for the client. A professional certification should provide the client assurance that he/she is working with a trainer who has the knowledge to provide a safe and effective workout. But not just any certification will do.
ACE is dedicated to improving the professional standards of the fitness industry. That effort is a partnership, in which consumers have the important role of taking the initiative to ensure that their fitness trainers are certified by a reputable organization with a track record of meeting the highest academic and professional criteria.
About ACE
The American Council on Exercise (ACE), America's Authority on Fitness, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the benefits of physical activity and protecting consumers against unsafe and ineffective fitness products and instruction. As the nation's "workout watchdog," ACE sponsors university-based exercise science research and testing that targets fitness products and trends.

Is my pool safe? That's a question that all home swimming pool owners should be asking themselves. PoolSafely.gov reports that thousands of pool injuries and drowning incidents occur every year. Most pool accidents can be avoided with preventative safety measures and good common sense. Check out the following home swimming pool safety tips to learn if you're doing what you can to help make your swimming pool safer for summer fun.
Do you have a fence? A pool cover? Have you checked your pool drains lately? Follow these steps for safer swimming pool equipment.
When you're finished enjoying the pool, make sure you take all the toys and flotation devices out of the pool so that curious children don't try to reach for them. Cover the pool and lock the fence.
If you have an above-ground pool, remove the steps or ladder so no one can climb them.
According to the CPSC , a child can drown in less time than it takes to answer the phone. That's why it's critically important that you never leave children unattended when they're swimming in your pool—and why any child younger than 5 years old should always be within arm's reach.
For an extra measure of security, familiarize yourself with CPR and basic rescue procedures and always keep a phone near the swimming pool.
Dirty pool water is a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and germs that can cause sickness and infections in swimmers. But making the effort to keep your swimming pool and water as clean as possible can help minimize the possibility of illness.

My hives are in Upstate New York with a mix of NWC, Italians, and feral mix.
I have (1) bee yard that is at about 1100 feet and its been cold and snowy up to the last couple of days. The soft maples have been in bloom for about a week and half, but with temperatures too cold to fly much. The hard maples are just going into bloom.
I just check (5) hives with NWC that have bees covering 6 - 7 frames, queens are there, but not much in the way of brood, almost none, in any of them. The queens are last years.
They are bringing pollen and working well for mid 50's.
I do have hives with Italians that have already built up to good strengths, but this yard is almost 1,000 feet lower and 3 weeks ahead of home.
Is anyone else running into the same situation with the season this year running 2 - 3 weeks behind?

Study abroad
In conjunction with International Programs, the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures also offers a wide variety of study-abroad options ranging from three weeks to an entire academic year in locations such as France, Canada, Spain, Mexico and Costa Rica.
Requirements for credit in Spanish and French:
Capstone requirement
Spanish and French majors must take a 400-level capstone course at the Hattiesburg campus before graduation.
Please be aware that students not meeting this requirement before departing for study abroad will need to fulfill it during an additional semester of study upon their return. Two 400-level courses are recommended.
Before departure
Candidates for semester exchange programs must meet with a foreign language adviser for advising, orientation and approval of proposed program of study before final acceptance into the program is conferred.
Students wishing to receive credit from other departments must communicate with and obtain approval from the department before departure. Students completing their last or penultimate semester abroad must submit an application for graduation (signed by adviser, chair and dean) before departure.
Upon return
Please be aware that foreign language faculty (not on-site instructors) assign final grades for courses bearing SPA (Spanish) or FRE (French) credit. To be successfully awarded Southern Miss credit for your coursework abroad, students must return with complete documentation of all graded and non-graded coursework, including:
- course texts
- course syllabi
- course handouts, including photocopied materials
- exams and quizzes
- dated lecture notes
- exercises or course activities
- research papers, presentations and final projects
Students are responsible for presenting a packet of materials in which they divide all coursework into course categories and state what course they believe is an equivalent at Southern Miss.
This description must also include beginning and ending dates for each course, how many hours the courses met per week and describe the general themes and/or subject matter covered. Grades and teacher notes that are posted from courses abroad will be taken into consideration when giving credit and assigning grades.
For courses that do not have an exact equivalent in Hattiesburg, students will receive either 381 or 481 credit depending on level of difficulty and work production.
Students will not be able to graduate in the spring semester while abroad; they must return to campus to verify coursework transfers.
If students do not take exams or midterms abroad for each course, they must:
- Document all lecture notes
- Write either a 7- to 10-page research-oriented paper in Spanish or French, or create a research project for each course to demonstrates their understanding of a topic under study
In addition, students may be asked to do one of the following:
- Keep a journal
- Document visits to places of historical significance in relation to the course topics
- Conduct, record and then transcribe interviews with specialists in the field of study to further enhance their understanding of the topics under study
- Prepare a portfolio of texts, writings or creative activities that are in concert with the course topics
General policy
Students may earn 12 hours toward the major depending on placement; students can be given foreign language credit for other coursework, which will not count toward the major but will count toward overall graduation hours.
Failure to follow procedures will delay coursework transfers and graduation, or risk coursework transfer altogether.

$16.7M redevelopment of Cass Corridor apartment buildings kicks off
Cass Corridor redevelopment
After years of planning, the $16.7 million redevelopment of two buildings in Detroit's Cass Corridor began with a ceremonial groundbreaking today.
Plans for the redevelopment of 3350 Cass Avenue, built in 1924, and 149 Davenport, built in 1918, have been in the works for seven years, since Cass Corridor Neighborhood Development Corp. took control of them, said Patrick Dorn, CCNDC executive director.
The buildings will be renovated into 47 low-income housing units; the project is expected to be complete next May.
Funding for the redevelopment project comes from a variety of sources, including grants and tax credits.
One of the largest investors is Great Lakes Capital Fund, which invested nearly $9 million in equity by financing housing tax credits for the buildings. Other funding partners include:
- Michigan State Housing and Development Authority
- Midtown Detroit
- Detroit Economic Growth Corp.
- City of Detroit HOME loan funds
- Wayne County HOME loan funds
- Cass Corridor Development Neighborhood Development Corp.
- Dearborn Federal Savings
- Michigan State Brownfield and Historic Tax Credits
- Federal Historic Tax Credits
- Smart Grant from the Detroit Economic Growth Council
- Green Grant from Enterprise
The project developer is Novi-based Ginosko Development Co.; Kentwood-based Rohde Construction Co. is the general contractor and Farmington Hills-based Fusco, Shaffer & Pappas Inc. is the development architect.
Ginosko completed a $30 million redevelopment of the Renaissance Village Apartments (formerly known as Evergreen Estates) at Seven Mile and Evergreen roads last year.
The renovations, operations and resident spending at the Cass and Davenport buildings are expected to have an $8.9 million total economic impact, according to a news release. In addition, the construction and recurring costs of the buildings are projected to add 109 jobs to metro Detroit.
The renovation of the buildings will continue the transformation of the block. The Chesterfield Apartments, located between the buildings, was renovated for $5.5 million seven years ago, said Bob Zinser, a development consultant. Zinser said it has 24 low-income housing units.

A local farmers son and my son play baseball together. I asked him a couple months ago if he would happen to have some extra room that I could put bees on, he said ya sure, no problem!! Well he took me out today to show me a couple spots I could put my bee trailer and started talking about the crops going in and whats around.
With in a rocks throw is going to be 60 acres of safflower! Across the slough is a few hundred acres of alphalfa that he said the farmer lets go in to bloom (I seen it last summer when I went out looking for places to put bees) and on my side of the slough is a few thousand acres of alfalpha that gets cut as soon as it blooms, but there is always the hedge rows as well! There are wild black berries for miles through out the delta system and a big plus also, water within a stones throw, no more hauling water to the bee yard! Plus there is lots of wildflowers in the area, so its not just a monoculture!! And the water hyacinth is plugging the water ways which blooms about September if I remember right? I don't know if that flower is any good though.
Anyhow, just thought I'd share my successful find, again, I am one happy beekeeper right now!!

A mufftoo is where a woman shaves her muff and replaces the missing pubes with a tattoo. A common practice with strippers,emo girls,goth chicks and carnival people.
What I thought to be a big hairy gorilla muff shining through her sheer panties turned out to be a tribal mufftoo.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by roscoe36, Oct 18, 2008.
Jumpshooting team needs jumpshooter's coach. Hire flip as a coach and you'll be fine.
U of M Football Party but they lost... :P
But they only lost by 14 points and to a division one team (not like Appalaichian State) that wasn't from the MAC (like Toledo). Seems like U of scUM should be VERY happy about that.
Darth are you still prancing around Boise in your green and white underoos?
Overall, I am OK with how my draft turned out in my absence. Ballaholics, lets get it!
w000t! :D
shaq was on the waivers. not that i would take him, but it is a little odd to think he isn't a top 10 center anymore.
Snaq ain't what he used to be. 14 managers in Adv League with 13 players to a team and no one drafted him.
Anyone know why I can't set my lineup? The rosters are locked for some reason.
Probably because of the weekly sets. You need to set the lineup before midnight on Sunday for the whole week - one lineup for all games that week.
Weekly rosters, deadline was Sunday at 11:59:59 PM. There is a notice on the league page that rosters were changed to weekly, and I mentioned it here as well. You can set lineups for next week, by advancing to Monday Nov 3 and adjusting. You must have this done by Sunday 11:59:59 PM, Nov 2.
Why set them to weekly as it limits your ability to sub in and out to adjust for injuries, etc? I understand it's fantasy basketball but doesn't it take some of the strategy out of it? What if you want to pick-up someone off waivers to replace an injured or underperforming player? You have to wait a whole week to do that?
Have you read this thread? Did you vote on the draft poll? Have you been keeping up on the league? Did you show up to draft? I'm not trying to be mean, but you're too late to complain if you show up the day of the season start and suddenly have complaints. Weekly was chosen because it removes any advantage from roster jugglers. It also assists the people who can't set and follow lineups daily (you may be a candidate for this). Yes, injuries happen. Randomly. To all of us. We're all working under the same rules.
I will also add that although some of the strategy of daily maintenance is removed, weekly lineups can be just as strategic. For example... do you play Kobe for 3 games or Michael Redd for 4? It also encourages GMs to make trades instead of making a living on the waiver wire. My name is Motown Pride and I support this message.
I think that's exactly right. I got hung up on the weekly thing too (mostly because I hadn't done it that way before and didn't really figure out what weekly meant), but I like that it makes it less about who has the most player games in a week. That's still important obviously, but having to make tradeoffs about Kobe for 3 or Redd for 4 as MTP says makes it pretty interesting. And has the advantage of only requiring you to think strategically once a week. (gratuitous use of new smiley )
I'll top that one: I've secretly wanted to use that one for a while now!!! So random!
Wow. Coming off a little defensive if you ask me. I just asked a question as a)what is a "bench" for if you can't play them and b) I've never played in a league where this was a rule. Sorry for asking about it.
I'm not defensive. I'm disappointed. Like I said, I'm not trying to be mean, but if you don't like the settings, you had ample opportunity to make your bones about it when it mattered. Now the league settings are locked by Yahoo. Let's try to make the best of this.
I'll take this one. Based on the example I gave, you can obviously play a bench. Your rational for using bench players will be based on injuries and games played. I don't think Roscoe was trying to come off rude/defensive any more than you were trying to come off unappreciative for the effort that it took to get to this point. As a Commissioner its important to be firm about the rules and stick with them just as its important as a GM to do research before questioning league decisions. Had you done so you would have noticed that Roscoe was very clear with his communication. I'd just take it as a lesson learned and take it out on him in the fantasy basketball arena. ** I like your chances *** lol.
hey didn't he beat that team 3 years ago that set there lineup so only darko was playing that week..... it was close but darko didn't pull off the win

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission and Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities to prepare reports on Ireland
Strasbourg, 15.03.2012 – A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) and a delegation of the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (ACFC) conducted a joint visit to Ireland from 27 February to 2 March as the first step in the preparation of respective monitoring reports. During the visit, the delegations gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations they had made to the authorities in their previous reports and discussed new issues that had emerged since.
The delegations held meetings in Dublin and Galway with representatives of all relevant ministries and other competent authorities, human-rights NGOs and members of vulnerable groups. The ECRI delegation visited an accommodation centre for asylum seekers.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report to be published early in 2013 in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited two years after the publication of the report as part of an interim follow-up procedure. The ACFC will adopt its third Opinion on Ireland in October 2012. Following the adoption of an Opinion by the ACFC, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe will adopt a Resolution containing conclusions and recommendations addressed to Ireland on the implementation of the Framework Convention.
In its 2007 report, ECRI expressed concern about the adequacy of the resources put at the disposal of the various independent authorities fighting racial discrimination, the adoption of the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill, the length of the asylum process, the impact of the habitual residence requirement on migrants and the lack of an integration strategy also ensuring equal participation in education.
In its 2006 Opinion, the ACFC found that the Travellers continued to be exposed to discrimination in different contexts; Traveller accommodation plans had been inadequate in a number of localities and their average school attendance and achievement levels remained low. In addition the ACFC observed that further steps were needed to accommodate the growing diversity of Irish schools, including in relation to the increasing demand for non-denominational or multi-denominational schools.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, colour, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States. For more information on ECRI: www.coe.int/ecri
The ACFC is the independent expert committee responsible for evaluating the implementation of the Framework Convention in State Parties and advising the Committee of Ministers. The results of this evaluation consist in detailed country-specific opinions adopted following a monitoring procedure. This procedure involves the examination of State Reports and other sources of information as well as meetings on the spot with governmental interlocutors, national minority representatives and other relevant actors.

Army Cap - Newsboy
Inspired by military attire, the army cap shape has became popular fashion trend in recent years. With stars like Eminem regularly seen rocking the style, it's no wonder the look has taken off in recent years. The army cap provides a nice break from the traditional baseball cap that is a bit less casual and a little more fashionable. We offer a great selection of army caps from some of the finest headwear brands like Kangol and Bailey of Hollywood.
Newsboys feature a paneled design -typically 8 panels on the crown- that give the cap a flat, wide look reminiscent of classic golfers and "newsies" from the first half of the twentieth century. These caps usually have a button on top and a small brim jutting from their front. Aside from solid colors, Newsboys often come in traditional patterns like tweed and plaid. Shop our brands like Bailey of Hollywood, Kangol, Borsalino, and Goorin Brothers to get that perfect old school look!

Love all the storage. Enjoy your sewing cave!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Love all the storage. Enjoy your sewing cave!
Country 1
I love it. So organized, yet not quite neat......only two sewing machines? I am getting ready to teach quilting to anyone who wants to come and join me in March (I am calling it my MARCH EXTRAVAGANZA) and have three cutting spaces and three sewing machines set up. But it looks like ol' man Winter might have interfered (spell) by promising snow and bad weather this Saturday. I have been cleaning and rearranging for a week now, and think I am finally ready for whoever wants to join me. My sewing room has never been this clean and organized. Sorry ladies, I don't know how to do pics; and my daughter isn't sure she can show me how. Maybe we'll try it soon.
Make every day count for something!
Wow! What great storage in the closet. A great hole in the wall IMHO.
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
It is a lovely room. It is nice to have your own personal space to use for quilting. I used the dining table for years and I got so sick of getting everything out, putting it away before meals etc.
Thanks Carol34446: I wrote it down and maybe I'll go into "learn" mode one day next week and try it out. Jo Ann
Make every day count for something!
