Trip of a Lifetime
We've been back now for about three days from our safari and still can't stop talking about it or waking up thinking about everything we saw. Words simply can't describe how amazing it was. When people say a safari is a "trip of a lifetime," I now know what they mean. We saw animals and sights that I thought I would only ever see on Planet Earth or National Geographic. Yet, there we were – parked within a few feet of lionesses noisily growling and feeding together – …

Our 20th Wedding Anniversary
We wanted to take a minute after we returned from our safari to thank you and the entire ADS Staff for their part in our safari experience. It is hard to know what expectations to have on a trip like this. We have travelled to various parts of the world but had no real idea of what to expect on our trip to Tanzania. We had planned this trip to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary and believed it would be an "once-in-a-lifetime" type trip. As …

February – The Calving Season
It's been a rather dry February this year and the migration appears to have split up into smaller herds and are currently scattered throughout the woodlands but in the past week, the rains have started again over some areas of the southern and eastern Serengeti creating swathes of green and calling the herds back out onto the plains. Yesterday a decent size herd was located grazing at the southern base of Naabi Hill and stretching towards the Gol Kopjes. The herds we came across were almost …

Quote of the Week: Jim Childress and Barbara Payne
From the dramatic migration of the wildebeests and zebras, to a cheetah running down a Thomson's Gazelle, a leopard high in an acacia tree with her cub, a herd of topis chasing a caracal into a kopje, and an amazing natural parade of the grazers and predators of the Serengeti, our trip was fabulous. With our guide's help, particularly with his willingness to make it a priority, we were also able to identify 240 species of birds. He taught us to say, "ndege tu", so …

Quote of the Week: Deyanne & Bill Nesh
Well, unfortunately, we're back in the States and have adjusted to the time change. I say 'unfortunately' because we had such a wonderful time on our safari that we didn't want it to end. Prior to booking this trip, I had done all my research (for months) and decided to use Africa Dream Safaris. Three of my friends also wanted to join us on this trip. They put down their money on my say so alone. I did feel a little pressure. I read all …

Once Upon a Time
was once again in the fictional town of Storybrooke, Maine which is so beautifully played by Steveston, Richmond, BC for another bout of filming yesterday (Tuesday, 28th August) but, unlike other times, they didn't take over the whole town.
Steveston was it's normal, quiet self for once. No Storybrooke sign, no Granny's Diner and no Dr. Hopper in sight. Some signage was still to be seen in the town though, as Mr. Gold's and the Pet Shelter are permanent residents of the town for now. Even Steveston Bread has it's sign changed for the duration of filming.
Yesterday's Once Upon a Time filming was all interior shots at the Prickly Pear Garden Centre (you should check them out). Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin, David Nolan/Prince Charming, Red Riding Hood/Ruby, Belle her father and the mysterious new character were all on set. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of Mr. Gold, Charming or Ruby as I was in Vancouver, but when I got to Steveston later in the day, I did manage to see Belle, her father, Moe (played by Eric Keenleyside) and (who I'm calling) Smee.
During one take that we heard, Belle was shouting "no Father!" – All I know is that it was Belle, her father and Smee in the Game of Thorns store. I wonder what that could be in relation to?
There weren't the usual crowd of fans waiting around, but there were a few die hards hanging around. A couple of fans had made some interesting artwork to give to the cast too. It looked pretty awesome.
Whilst we're on the subject of Once Upon a Time, and total speculation here on my part, but what if Captain Hook is actually Mr. Gold's son Baelfire? I don't know how this could be possible though, as he asked the Blue Fairy for help and she gave him a bean which whisked him away to a land with no magic. Did he come through to Storybrooke, or somewhere else?
Another thing I would like to mention is that we've started a forum at Vancity Filming. It's by far complete but we'd like your help to get it off the ground. Go and take a look, sign up and join in the conversation. There is a Once Upon a Time section for you to discuss this amazing show in too.

Elaine de Kooning, née Elaine Marie Catherine Fried (born March 12, 1920, New York, N.Y., U.S.—died Feb. 1, 1989, Southampton, Long Island, N.Y.), American painter, teacher, and art critic who is perhaps best known for her portraits.
Attending art school in New York City, she was introduced to artist Willem de Kooning in 1938. They were married in 1943. Her work as an art critic began as a means to earn money, but she was a witty and insightful observer and continued to write throughout her life. She also held teaching positions at a number of colleges and universities throughout the country. Her first solo exhibit occurred in 1952 at Stable Gallery in New York City. Taking aspects of Action painting and Abstract Expressionism, she examined many themes, especially those of landscape and the male figure. Her portraits include two of President John F. Kennedy.

An Honest Teacher Evaluation
by BLAKE R. BOWMAN
Dad and Principal, Lakes Elementary School
I was given the opportunity to write this article because I am the principal at Lakes Elementary School, but the inspiration to write this article comes because I am a father at Lakes, too. I'm in a unique position to examine education from two very unique perspectives. I can watch what happens through the lens of my office, and yet I'm also privileged to see it through the eyes of my daughter Melanie and my son Brennan. Both vantage points offer clarity into the state of education that seems to be missing in most analysis from Lansing and from some media sources. Rockford teachers have shone brilliantly throughout a year in which our profession has been under attack from legislators and the media alike. It's not easy to consistently give your best each day when you are hearing from all these outlets that your best isn't good enough.
They are wrong! They have never been to Lakes Elementary. They have never spent time in Rockford Public Schools. They have never seen our teachers hug our children, weep over them, whisper in their ears, touch them softly on their shoulders. They've never seen our staff wrap their arms around a child who was scared to sing at the talent show and give them the strength to overcome anxiety to realize a dream. They've never seen our teachers embrace a child whose father died unexpectedly just a few days earlier. They've never seen what time teachers go to bed because they're still up working. I've exchanged e-mails with my teachers between 1:00 and 2:00 in the morning on school nights! Teaching is not an 8:00 to 4:00 job! Critics of our teachers have never seen the pile of receipts for things teachers have bought for their students, or the bills that will go unpaid this month because teachers made sure their students came first. The average teacher spends well over a thousand dollars of their own money on their students annually, providing those things for kids that reduced state funding no longer can.
Folks down in Lansing have never seen the adoration in the eyes of our kids when they look up at their teachers. They've never seen the pictures the children draw for teachers, nor have they read the notes they've written. They've never sat down with former students who come back to see their teachers 10 years later. They've never asked the high school graduates who invite their first-grade teacher to their open house about what kind of impact teachers make. They say that teachers don't make enough of a difference for these kids, but they make all the difference in the world!
Don't listen to "them." They don't know our teachers. They don't know our kids. They don't know my kids! On the night before the last day of school, my kindergarten son Brennan was crying in the back seat of our car.
"Why are you crying?" my wife asked him.
"I don't want to go to first grade. I'll miss her."
"Miss who?"
"Mrs. Kruisenga."
Later in the evening, my third-grade daughter Melanie told my wife, "I hope I don't make a fool of myself tomorrow."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm not going to be able to say goodbye to Mrs. Jenks without crying."
Every year, I complete comprehensive staff evaluations. I commend educators for what they do well, and I challenge them to pull even more out of them in the future. I hold my teachers to remarkably high expectations, because the children of Rockford deserve it. Yet no matter how high I set my expectations, my teachers exceed them! Yet teachers' truest evaluations don't come from the government, the newspapers, or even from me. They come from the looks in your children's eyes. When teachers look into them, they can feel awfully proud of what they see. I hope every teacher has a great summer, knowing that they've done their jobs as well as they could possibly be done.
I've heard pastors and professional speakers say that you can tell what a person values by observing two things: where they spend their time and where they spend their money. I've watched teachers for a very long time. I've observed how they spend their time. I've observed how they spend their money.
Teachers value children. Rockford teachers value your children! I wonder what they value in Lansing.

3B mixed hair is out of control, frizzy!! dry!!
Hey y'all I have mixed hair its 3B and a small chunk of its really wavy close to straight in the way back of my hair. My hair always frizzes up and its dry its mostly frizzy then actual curls. I do the LOC method since I live in a cold area. But it still doesn't work. I use a diffuser when I get out the shower and the products I use are Shea Moisture. How can I stop the frizz???

Try DIY Deep Conditioners (to help with dryness) that contain honey (to help with frizz).
BY: CursiveCurly ( 3b ) | 4.26.14
I love the SheaMoisture products but I found that the coconut and hibiscus styling milk and the curling gel soufflé both gave me some frizz for some reason. And with the diffusing I believe the curling gel soufflé specifically says something about not using it with heat (I just assume it means all heat, even low heat). Maybe that causes it to frizz more? I have much better success with the curling smoothie... have you tried that yet?

Some oil that can prevent or tame frizz are macadamia and argon oil.

This poem anticipates the feelings generated by age and lingering illness – a sense of mental as well as physical wasting, and a gradual detachment from the world, becoming almost insubstantial. It is an attempt at empathy with my father during the months leading up to his death from pancreatic cancer, during which his physical changes were paralleled by the relinquishment of his plans, intentions and hopes.

London restaurants and clubs tycoon Richard Caring has sold his holding in his Côte bistro chain for £113 million.
The owner of the The Ivy, Le Caprice and Scott's is cashing in on the huge success of the 37-branch chain into which he originally ploughed just £8 million in 2007.
Côte, known for its "reasonably priced" French cooking, was founded by the team responsible for Italian restaurants chain Strada with backing from Caring. The first bistro opened in Wimbledon village and it now has 20 outlets in London and others across southern England and south Wales. It wants to roll out another 100 branches in the UK.
Côte recently reported a 225 per cent increase in profits, making it the company with the fastest-growing profits within the UK's restaurants and pubs market.
Earlier this year, Caring reduced his stake in the Soho House Group, the private members' club, netting £60 million.

I just got some new lug nuts because the previous owner did not include the key for the lug nuts I had on the car.
I did find an adapter that allowed me to take out those old lug nuts but as I was putting on the new lugs I realized I cross threaded one of my lug nuts. After removing the wheel I noticed that there seemed like little damage to the hub screw but the lug nut it self was really hot. I figured most of the damage was done to the nut and the thread looked like crap. The screw looked pretty good for most of its length but a little warped on the tip.
So the real question is as I was trying to put on another lug nut on the same hub screw it would not "catch"
How safe would it be to run my car with 4 nuts in out of 5? and.....
What should i do.
a. grind off a half of a centimeter off of the hub screw?
b. take it to subaru to fix the problem for potentially lots of $$?
c. Insert your solution here.

Tuesday February 11th, 2014 4:24pm
These are heady days in Baltimore. Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse, the one time poster child for lacrosse's stall-ball era, opened the 2014 season and christened a new era a the same time in their wild, up-tempo 10-9 three overtime victory over Ohio State to cap a fantastic weekend of lacrosse.
After a sloppy first half offensive for both teams (2 for 22 shots on goal for Johns Hopkins; 2 for 14 for Ohio State), the programs found their groove in the second half, combining for 14 goals to and sending the game to a 9-9 overtime. Following two tight overtime periods, Johns Hopkins senior attackman Brandon Benn stepped up as Hopkins' offensive hero, hitting a low-to-high rocket over Ohio State goalie Greg Dutton with 3:01 left in the third overtime.
Benn admitted post game that he didn't have a great day (he scored twice on 10 shots and added an assist.) He was, however, not afraid to take the potential game-winning shot when the ball rotated to him on offense.
"Honestly, I didn't even think about it," said Benn, who finished with two goals and an assist on the day. "I just decided to dodge the guy and shoot. I guess it went in and it was a good result."
The Blue Jays formally introduced the new offense that had been promoted through the offseason. They shot 42 times and turned the ball over 20 times. They pushed out, dodged and moved off-ball effectively, found shots on goals and played with remarkable toughness late in the game (despite allowing Ohio State back into the game goalie Eric Schneider made five saves in the period).
They also buckled down in overtime, allowing the offense to pressure at points while also calling crucial timeouts to set up offensive possession.
"In the past we've struggled in pressure situations. We struggled when things got a little tough, a little tight. And I thought our guys handled it well," said coach Dave Pietramala. "The goal was to, at the end of 12 five-minute quarters, to be on the winning end. It took us 15 five-minute quarters, but none the less I thought the guys showed tremendous physical toughness and mental toughness."
"We don't have big players any more, any big-name players," said Benn. "We've been told by our coaching staff that we have to win in different ways. Out-toughing our opponents is definitely one of those ways. That's one of the big messages we've had in the preseason. We've done really well with that and that showed today."
Junior quarterback Wells Stanwick led Hopkins' offense with five assists and one goal. Ryan Brown matched linemate Benn with two goals and one assist, while midfielders Connor Reed, Rob Guida, Holden Cattoni, Mike Pellegrino and John Crawley each notched a goal.
Ohio State made their run in the fourth quarter with four goals, but couldn't set up a solid shooting opportunity despite shooting seven times in the combined overtime period.
"We had our chances, but at the same time your credit, it was a great effort from our opponent as well," Nick Meyers said postgame. "We'll take this as an opportunity to focus on the positives from today, and to grow in the areas where we need to develop as a team as we move on into the second weekend of the season."
Jesse King Dominates Ohio State's Jesse King was a man among boys in Sunday's tilt. The 6-3, 200-pound junior from Victoria, British Columbia scored five goals, including three in the fourth quarter during the Buckeye's push to tie or take the lead. Against favorable defensive matchups he was able to use his size and high-low stick skills to his advantage.
"This whole January we've really pushed ourselves to do well in the fourth quarter, with our conditioning and fitness, and we all just came out in the fourth and knew we we're right there." King said. "The defense made some great stops, which transitioned to us, we were able to get the ball and put it in the back of the net."
"They got, what we think, is one of the best players in the country, if not the best player in the country in Jesse King." Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala said of King. "For those of you who hadn't seen him, you got a great look a him today."
Teammate and fellow Canadian Turner Evans worked well with King in Ohio State's two-man game; the two combined one three scoring opportunities. Turner finished with one goal and three assists.
Goalies Schneider, Dutton Impress Johns Hopkins goalie Eric Schneider made his first appearance as the Blue Jays' top goalie, following a one-time spot effort against Mount St. Mary's last year. Against Ohio State he made 13 saves, including five big ones in the fourth quarter and two in the three-overtime period. He also worked well commanding the team defense for the first time.
"It was a great experience for me, coming out for my first start," said Schneider. "Today we had a great game plan. I thought we executed it well for the most part. [Jesse King] scored more goals than we would have liked to have. But our defense defended the ball and pushed them into areas where they wanted to go. And I felt like I made the saves that I should of. It was a team effort."
Ohio State veteran goalie Greg Dutton also impressed, making 11 saves, including seven in the second half of the game that helped kick off Ohio State's transition offense. He also flexed his athleticism, clearing the ball full field three times and taking one shot on goal.
Blue Jays Healthy Prior to Sunday's game it had been reported that both Johns Hopkins face-off midfielder Drew Kennedy and veteran defenseman Rob Enright could have missed SUnday's game due to injury. Instead, both were on the field for the Blue Jays.
Kennedy dominated face-offs, finishing 18-22 while Enright started on defense.
"It's great to have them back," Pietramala said. "It gives us depth at those positions. It gave other guys experience. It gave a guy like [freshman defenseman] Nick Fields tremendous experience, and we do feel like Nick can help us and will play for us. It was great for us to have other guys face off. Injuries are going to happen. Our medical staff did a great job getting this team ready."
Next Up Johns Hopkins will ride their momentum into next Saturday's contest against Towson, set for 4 p.m. at Homewood Field. Ohio State will take on UMass next Sunday night at the Moe's Southwest Grill Classic in Jacksonville, Fla.
The full box score can be found here.
Gameday tweets
BALTIMORE, MD – Senior Brandon Benn's second goal of the game 59 seconds into the third overtime lifted the 11th-ranked Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team to a 10-9 victory against 14th-ranked Ohio State before 1,338 fans at Homewood Field Sunday afternoon. Benn's goal capped a game that saw the Blue Jays trail early, lead by three in the second half and kill off an Ohio State extra-man opportunity in the second overtime.
The triple-overtime game is the second-longest in Johns Hopkins history as only a four-overtime affair with Virginia in 2001 was longer.
After splitting the opening faceoffs of the first and second overtime, junior Drew Kennedy won the draw to open the third extra session and the Blue Jays quickly called timeout. From there, the Blue Jays worked the ball to sophomore Holden Cattoni at the top of the box, where he found Benn 10 yards from the goal to the right of Buckeye goalie Greg Dutton. Benn fake dodged top side from the wing and stepped in and to the side of his defender before ripping home the game-winner, which secured JHU's 12th win in 14 season openers under head coach Dave Pietramala.
The Blue Jays had taken control of the game in the third quarter by outscoring the Buckeyes 6-3 after the teams battled to a 2-2 halftime score.
After scoring twice in the opening 30 minutes, it took the Blue Jays just two minutes of the third quarter to match that as senior Rob Guida and freshman John Crawley scored off assists from junior Wells Stanwick.
Ohio State's Jesse King and Reegan Comeault wrapped goals around a Cattoni strike in a span of just over two minutes midway through the period to make it 5-4 before the Blue Jays scored three of the last four goals of the third quarter to grab an 8-5 lead entering the final period. Michael Pellegrino, Benn and Stanwick all scored in the final 6:02 of the third quarter for the Blue Jays, while Turner Evans added his only goal of the game for Ohio State during that same time frame.
The Blue Jays' three-goal lead held for more than six minutes in the fourth quarter before King completed his hat trick at the 11:31 mark off a nice feed inside from Comeault. An unassisted goal by Johns Hopkins sophomore Ryan Brown with just under eight minutes left pushed JHU's lead to 9-6, which set stage for OSU's late-game rally.
Despite scoring seven goals in a span of just over 22 minutes to open the second half, the Blue Jays couldn't quite put the Buckeyes away and Ohio State made the run that forced overtime.
King needed just over two minutes to score his fourth and fifth goals of the game and sophomore Gordie Koerber made a nice cut through the slot and Charlie Schnider found him for the equalizer with 3:07 left in the fourth quarter.
It would be more than 12 minutes of playing time before Benn's game-winner, but it wasn't for lack of chances for both teams down the stretch.
Brown had a goal taken away for a crease violation with 75 seconds left in regulation and Ohio State fired seven shots in the first two overtime periods, including two that were saved by Johns Hopkins goalie Eric Schneider.
Still, it came down to one possession and Kennedy, who won a career-high 18 of 22 faceoffs for the Blue Jays on the day, took the one to open the third overtime and Benn capitalized 59 seconds later to end the marathon.
Stanwick paced the Blue Jays with one goal and a career-high-tying five assists, while Benn and Brown both scored to two goals and added an assist to give JHU's starting attack trio a combined five goals and seven assists. In addition his work on faceoffs, Kennedy had a career-high 13 ground balls and Schneider had a career-best 13 saves for Johns Hopkins.
King, an Honorable Mention All-American last season, matched Stanwick's six points with his five-goal, one-assist effort. Comeault and Carter Brown both added one goal and one assist and Dutton posted 11 saves in goal for the Buckeyes, who matched the Blue Jays on ground balls (30-30) and were a perfect 21-for-21 on clears.
Notes: Johns Hopkins is now 17-3 all-time in the month of February and has won 13 straight games in this month • Johns Hopkins is now 5-0 all-time against Ohio State • JHU improved to 20-10 in overtime under head coach Dave Pietramala • Brandon Benn extended his goal-scoring streak to 17 games – the fourth-longest active streak in the nation.
When Ohio State visits Homewood Field for a matchup against Johns Hopkins on Sunday, it will be the first time the two teams have played since 2004. However, Sundays contest will be the first of many as both clubs will join the Big Ten lacrosse conference next year, making Buckeyes – Blue Jays an annual meeting.
Both teams enter 2014 missing several key components from last year. Johns Hopkins graduated a stellar senior class which included multi-year midfield starters John Ranagan and John Greeley, attackman Zach Palmer, defenders Tucker Durkin and Chris Lightner, and goalie Pierce Bassett. The biggest loss for the Buckeyes is undoubtedly Logan Schuss, who scored 146 goals in his career, including 44 last year.
JHU Attack vs OSU Defense A big story concerning Hopkins in the fall was the incorporation of a new offense. With John Ranagan and John Greeley graduating, head coach Dave Pietramala and staff decided to move away from power-dodging midfielders and refocus on their small, yet quick and intelligent attackmen found in Brandon Benn, Wells Stanwick, and Ryan Brown.
"We're a work in progress," coach Dave Pietramala said to the Baltimore Sun. "Needless to say, it's early lacrosse, and there are going to be mistakes made and there are going to be miscues. That's to be expected. More games are lost than won in sports, and one of the keys, especially at this time of the year, is to not lose those games, and what I mean by that is to try to limit mistakes that are somewhat natural at this time of the year.
To oppose them, Ohio State returns all three starters on close defense from last year — Joe Meurer, Robby Haus, and Dom Imbordino. Goalie Greg Dutton also returns as a starter after missing the fall.
OSU's Jesse King vs JHU's Michael Pelligrino Ohio State returns Jesse King, a junior midfielder who totaled 32 goals and 23 assists in 2013. Likely drawing the assignment of King is Johns Hopkins LSM Michael Pellegrino, who in 2013 totaled 38 groundballs and 15 caused turnovers and spearheaded a unit that finished third in the nation in defense.
Hopkins' Green Defense Aside from Pelligrino and senior Jack Reilly, there will be many new faces gracing the Hopkins defense. Reilly returns as the only starter within the close defense. Junior Ron Enright and highly touted freshman Nick Fields are penciled into positions, however Enright, is currently dealing with an undisclosed ailment, and his status for Sunday's game is uncertain reports the Baltimore Sun. Junior John Kelly could get the start if Enright isn't cleared.
In addition to Enright, Hopkin's faceoff specialist Drew Kennedy was revealed to also be suffering from an undisclosed ailment, the Sun reported. His status for Sunday is likely to be a game-time decision by the medical staff. Kennedy won 54.4 percent of his draws last season, and sophomore Craig Madarasz will likely take his place if Kennedy can't play.
What To Look For/What To Expect It's early February, so look for both teams to play in less than perfect form. Don't be suprirsed if the game is relatively low scoring, as defense has been paramount at both programs. —Dan Aburn

...I want to ride the Harley up there, but they live 2 miles down a rock road.
Some have said no way keep the bike at home do not ride on the gravel, ....
On May 2, 1915, the mother-daughter team of Avis and Effie Hotchkiss left Brooklyn, New York on a three-speed V-Twin with a sidecar, with the intention of reaching the West Coast and returning.
In September of 1915, The Harley-Davidson Dealer magazine reported that the team faced "bad roads, heat, cold, rain, floods, and all such things with a shrug of their shoulders." They had crossed the San Marcos pass in California, enduring temperatures in excess of 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The Hotchkisses claimed in The Harley-Davidson Dealer that, while in New Mexico, they had run out of spare inner tubes. Having thought ahead for this predicament, the women cut a blanket down to inner tube length, rolled and shaped it into a doughnut, and stuffed it into the tire. This got the bike through to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where they were able to re-supply inner tubes.
In August, the team dipped their wheels in the Pacific Ocean at San Francisco. By just making the trip one way, Avis and Effie Hotchkiss became the first women to cross the United States on a motorcycle. They immediately began the return leg, which included crossing the deserts of Nevada and Utah, and the cities of Reno, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Davenport, Chicago, and Milwaukee.
Avis and Effie Hotchkiss finally returned to their home in Brooklyn in October of 1915. Although they were looking forward to their next trips, they had already ridden their way into the record books and earned themselves a place in motorcycling history.
Hey stone crab Ya you learn a few things riding dirt bikes...

Painting metal frame in bathroom shower stall?
I have a standard 3' x 3' shower stall. And would like to replace all of our gold bathroom fixtures with nickel... and instead of replacing the entire shower stall -- is it possible to PAINT the metal frame around the glass (currently gold) with a nickel-color metal paint? If so, any suggestions re: type of paint, etc.... and will it look decent? Thanks!
It is unlikely that painting a shower door frame would stick for any length of time. A shower is simply too punishing of an environment. There are epoxies available for coating tubs and showers, but I do not know if they are available in metallic finishes. In addition, I do not think they would look good on the frame.
Thx, SirWired. That's probably why I haven't been able to find any other information on this - b/c it's apparently not a viable option. :cry:

Not something that you're likely to find
They are coming out with new products all the time that can really help a DIYer. They've had a paint that you can actually paint Formica cabinets with that I used about 2 years ago when it first came out. It made the cabinets look new and it is so tough that there isn't a mark on after 2 years.
I'm sure that you'll be able to find a product that you'll be able to put on that will last and look good, but not in a metal finish. About the only people that can put a metal like paint on metal are cutom car painters. Needless to say it would be a lot cheaper to replace everything.
paint metal
If sanded, primed and painted with the correct metal paint, you can paint shower stall trim. Remove the stall and take the glass away from the trim if possible. You might want to take it to an auto paint shop and see if they can paint it with an auto paint in a metallic color that is close to nickel or chrome. Should stand up to the 'weathering' of a shower stall. Wynay
Use a quality Direct To Metal Paint with a nice bonding primer, and it should be fine. Will it be perfectly metallic? No, but it will still come out very, very nice if done right. I've done a number of bathroom objects with DTM.
You should also use a foam mini roller cover to leave as little texture as possible.
Powder Coating Is the answer
If you REALLY want to change the color and be SURE that it will hold, then having it powder coated is the answer. In fact, many shower door companies use powder coating. Word on the street (or internet) is that spray paints won't stand up to the moisture and cleaning over time.
Powder coating is a process where a powder is sprayed electrostatically onto the piece and then the finish is baked on (about 400 degrees).
You would need to completely dissassemble then entire frame and take the metal pieces (screws and all) to a powder coating shop. You will have the choice of 20 kabillion colors and effects. They should be able to do it in anywhere from a day to a week depending on their schedule.
I did this with my old polished brass colored (anodized aluminum actually) frame that was L-Shaped (about 3' x 4'). It was A LOT OF WORK, but, cost me only $150 vs. about 8 to 10 times that ($1,100 to $1,5000 to replace it. I took pictures and videos of the disassembly and made notes of where every little piece went, etc. Fortunately, all of the rubber sealing strips were re-usable. I put the screws in a piece of cardboard so they would stay in one place and those were powder-coated also (wood instead of cardboard would have been better).
This was part of a full bath remodel where the old shower walls and tile was all replaced, so, I had to be sure it was built to accept the existing shower frame. That's bass-ackward form how it's normally done when the shower walls and tile is built first and then frame/glass is built to fit that. So, that was a difficult process.
Re-assembling it all was tough also. The notes, photos and videos paid off. It was a LOT of work and I might recommend just buying a new one instead, but, if you have the time, patience, ability and inclination then have at it.
We've been using our for a couple of months now and I have even scratched it a few times, but, nothing happend to the finish. It's pretty tough and it looks great and like it's brand new.
Keep glass/replace ugly gold frame
I don't want to replace all of my shower glass, just the gold frame. Does anyone know a company that will do this? I live near the Akron/Cleveland Ohio area.

Easy Cheddar Wafers
Chef Martha McGinnis learned to make these cheesy wafers from her mother, who served them every Christmas.
Slideshow: Cocktail Party Recipes
- Servings: MAKES ABOUT 48 WAFERS
- 1/2 pound sharp Cheddar cheese, grated (about 2 cups)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 teaspoon celery seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
How to make this recipe
In a standing mixer or food processor, beat the cheese, butter, celery seeds, Worcestershire, dry mustard, Tabasco and cayenne on medium speed or process until smooth. Add the flour and beat on low speed or process until combined. Gather the dough into a ball and knead a few times on a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into a 12-inch log, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Sprinkle 2 baking sheets with the salt. Slice the log 1/4 inch thick and arrange the slices 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake the wafers for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom and around the edges. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool before serving.
Make Ahead
The wafers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Google is preparing to significantly expand its Google Glass project with the expansion of its Explorer program and the release of an updated Glass device.
Current Glass-owners who purchased the device before 28 October 2013 will be offered an optional upgrade to "Glass 2.0".*
Details on the hardware update are thin on the ground though, with Google saying only that the new devices will "work with future lines of shades and prescription frames" and "include a mono earbud." Google have also clarified that the earbud is removable.
Presumably this means that the bone-conduction module that replaced traditional earphones in the original Glass has not been completely well received. Apart from this, the new device (seen above and below) looks nearly identical to the original Glass.
In addition to the hardware update Google is also widening its Explorer program with existing owners (those that purchased Glass for $1,500) now able to offer the product to three friends each.
"We're counting on you to get Glass to the people you think will make great Explorers," said Google in Google Plus post announcing the news. "More Explorers means more feedback, and more feedback means better Glass."
Although Google has said that they will put Glass up for general sale in the US at some point next year, its current approach mimics the roll out of Gmail – with personal referrals driving the spread of the device amongst interested users whilst also providing Google with a free pool of product testers.
Although the privacy debate around Glass is far from being settled (and in all likelihood will never be) new features are being steadily introduced to the smart-glasses.
A software update for Glass released earlier this month included a voice-command file with a number of intriguing phrases including "learn a song", "call me a car", "create a 3D model" and "tune an instrument".
Currently Glass offers features already available via smartphones and Google Now (users can ask for directions, search restaurant reviews, check mail and – of course – search with Google) but it seems a given that Google will want to leverage the product's unique form factor to sell it to the masses.
The "tune an instrument" instruction is entirely suited to a hands-free device whilst another newly-discovered command - "find a recipe" - would help keep sticky fingers off a recipe book or iPad.
Glass will need to push functionality like this if their smart-products (and we could include the rumoured Google Watch in this category) are to ever find an audience beyond the Silicon elite.

text: REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Genomic Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GHDX) today announced results from three studies of its Oncotype DX ® breast cancer test presented at the 36 th Annual CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), reinforcing the unmatched value of the test to patients and physicians worldwide. Oncotype DX remains the only genomic test to predict chemotherapy benefit, delivering clinically important and practice-changing information not provided by any other test. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130425/SF01493LOGO) "Ten years ago, the first validation study of the Oncotype DX assay was presented at SABCS, ushering in a new era of personalized breast cancer treatment," said Steven Shak, M.D., executive vice president of research and development, Genomic Health. "Over the last decade, in partnership with many collaborators, we have demonstrated that the rigorous validation of genomic information can transform cancer treatment. Moving forward we will continue to apply our world-class science to lead the translation of massive amounts of genomic data into practice-changing results for treatment planning from screening and surveillance, through diagnosis, treatment selection and monitoring." Fourth Head-to-Head Comparison Study to Show Oncotype DX Results Are Different from Tests Limited to Prognosis A study examining three commercially available genomic tests evaluated if the information they provide is equivalent. Specifically, results revealed a more than 44 percent discordance with other assays studied when compared to Oncotype DX, highlighting the potential to misclassify and mistreat patients if other assays are used to make a decision regarding chemotherapy treatment. Oncotype DX is the only test included in treatment guidelines for both prognosis and the prediction of chemotherapy benefit and widely reimbursed by public and private payors for treatment decision making. "As a clinical investigator and medical oncologist with a practice dedicated to breast cancer, I practice evidence-based medicine and therefore utilize genomic testing to gain an understanding of the breast tumor's individual biology to help guide critical treatment decisions," said Lori J. Goldstein, M.D., Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA. "If the question is whether or not to use chemotherapy, the answer is clear. To date, Oncotype DX is the only test that has been appropriately studied and validated to answer the specific question of which ER positive breast cancer patients need chemotherapy in addition to standard-of-care hormonal therapy." Researchers conducting an analysis of 135 patient samples using Oncotype DX and a 70-gene prognostic test demonstrated that 33 percent of high-risk patients by the 70-gene assay were classified as low risk by the Oncotype DX Recurrence Score, indicating that these patients would likely receive no benefit from chemotherapy. Further, five percent of the 70-gene assay low-risk patients were classified as high risk by the Oncotype DX test, indicating that they would likely have a significant, potentially life-saving benefit from chemotherapy.

I thought that full choke would throw a great pattern...I was wrong. I have tried just about every load out there in every shot size and nothing patterns well. As of right now federal 5's with flitecontrol wads are the best I can get, but even those aren't throwing a pattern that I am real impressed with. It will kill one but doesn't leave much margin for error. Shy of buying a new barrel with screw in chokes does anyone have any suggestions? The only thing I haven't tried is federal 6 shot with flitecontrol because I can't find any.

Scotty McCreery @ Summerfest 6/26
On June 26, 2014 Summerfest was pleased to have Scotty McCreery perform on the Harley Davidson stage. The surrounding area of the stage was packed with people. The fans were all eager for him to take the stage hooting and hollering. Some people were getting rowdy and a few people even got ejected for poor behavior but for the most part everyone showed everyone respect for their space. Met some great fans of Scotty's tonight. Olivia and Brandon were awesome and were grateful to be there to see Scotty. Also another lady Becky who was there with her mother as they both followed Scotty on his American Idol journey and were the biggest fans. She was speechless when my buddy gave her his meet and greet pass. I know she enjoyed it! Scotty put on a great performance which lasted around an hour and a half. He played a lot of songs and gave us a little more insight as to the deeper meaning of some of them. He put off some great energy as he played such songs as "Water Tower Town", "I Love You This Big", "See You Tonight", and of course his new one "Feeling It." His voice was nailing every song as always with his deep baritone vocals. The crowd was jamming and singing right along with every song. Due to the crowds reaction I would say Scotty has a great fan base here in Milwaukee and we will surely see him back again!

damn if u some as much as me i guess that just isnt a problem, everytime i stumble outta the bar i spark a doobie, i usually don't remember the rest of the night tho.Originally posted by bumsuckfun@Sep 11 2005, 05:43 PM
mixing the two usually results in bad reactions... mainly vomiting. if you can pull it off those, its an amazingly good feeling, its just hard to pull off... you need to smoke first, then drink a bit, then smoke a bit, then dirnk a bit, and so on... if you get drunk first and then smoke it hits you in a not-so-good way. but i have pulled off drinking and smoking before and it was awesome.. for the time i was awake.

text: I had a Rhinoplasty a year ago next month. But, now there is a "dent" along the right side of the bridge area. One side is totally smooth then you get to the front/right part of the nose and it curves/veers in. How could this have happened? Also, if I do end up getting a revision rhinoplasty would Insurance cover it? I just can't see why I should have to pay again for my doctor's mistake. Thank you for all the advice!

ENGINE RUNNING PHOTO.jpg
Last week when the morning temp was 25 degrees while driving to work, the display screen showed
"Engine Running Due to Temperature". I called my Volt Advisor who said that the ICE kicks in when the outside temp is below a certain value and this is normal. During my 37 mile trip to work, the ICE ran for about 10 miles. When it was a bit warmer at about 28 degrees in the morning this week, I did not see this screen and the ICE did not kick in.
Now that I think of it, when I got the Volt in April, the temps. probably never got down this low so I did not see this screen then.
Has anyone else seen this happen at Cold Temps?

Was there any discussion at the Burlington meeting on Aug.8, 2012 about opening the season on Wed. instead of Sat.?
For those of us that hunt the Southern part of the Lake the bass guys are disrupting things so much with their frantic moving from place to place that we might as well stay home or find a beaver pond to hunt. There are a couple of bass tourney the day F&W intends to open the season.
Now that there are bass tourneys some of would like to see a Wed. opener become permanent to avoid the parking crowding and the disruption of the ducks patterns. There is also a safety issue as they don't know we are there and often there is fog so we can't see where they are, only can hear a boat come into the area where you have your blind. Yell and tell them you are hunting there??
Yea, good luck ,they'll leave when they are ready not before.
Any comments?

Growth in oil demand is forecast to fall by as much as 60 per cent next year amid economic turmoil, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said.
Yesterday's report from the IEA, the organisation based in Paris that advises 28 major industrialised nations, trimmed crude demand by 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) for this year along with decreasing next year's growth prediction.
The price of Brent oil, the European benchmark, briefly rallied yesterday rising to US$107 per barrel after the US announced it would bolster the economy with low interest rates, helping to erase losses from the day before when oil dipped below $100. But by 6pm local time it had slipped back down to $104.

Adafruit Product Code: 333
Want to poke at your projects? This resistive touch screen can be used with a stylus or fingertip and is easy to use with a microcontroller. You can put it over a paper overlay for a touch control panel or attach it to an LCD to DIY a touch-activated display.
- 2.2" x 2.75" (55mm x 70mm) overall dimensions, 1.5mm thick
- 3.2" diagonal active area, 80mm
- 600 ohms across X pins, 300 ohms across Y pins
- 4 wire resistive display, on a 0.5mm FPC connector
- Use any microcontroller with 2 digital pins and two analog input pins
- Adhesive backing, it fits onto our ST7565 LCD (not as well on a KS0108 LCD, its a little too small)
The connector is very fine so we suggest using our touch screen breakout board to make it easier to connect.
We don't have a detailed tutorial yet but we do have great example Arduino library code that shows how to get readings, debounce, and read the pressure (so you can detect when its being touched and how hard) The code is not complex and is easily ported to other microcontrollers.
To understand how touchscreens work, and the techniques used to read from them, we suggest this great app note

As the county's primary water wholesaler, the water district makes sure there is enough clean, safe water for homes and businesses. To finance this monumental task, the water district collects revenue, primarily from property taxes, well owners, agricultural water customers and water retailers, such as San Jose Water Company.
Most county residents do not pay a bill directly to the Santa Clara Valley Water District, instead they pay their local water retailers. The cost local residents pay the retailers, however, is affected by the cost to the district of supplying that water.
The water district's major costs include operations, debt service, capital improvements to the treatment and delivery system, and water purchases from outside the county.
To avoid large charge increases in any year, the water district develops 10-year projections so that charges can be increased gradually when needed.
The Santa Clara Valley Water District is a water wholesaler. The following charges reflect what water retailers and agricultural users pay for wholesale or well water.
The "2016 Protection and Augmentation of Water Supplies," or PAWS 2016 Report, presents the financial and water supply information that forms the basis for the fiscal year 2016-2017 wholesale water charges.
Questions about retail water charges should be addressed to the appropriate retail water agency.
Water charges for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 (effective July 1, 2016)
Surface Water 1
1 Surface water charge is the sum of the basic user charge plus the water master charge.
2 Other Zone W-2 Deliveries = Basic User (AG or M&I @ $23.59/AF or $1,072/AF) + Water Master ($27.46/AF).
3 Other Zone W-5 Deliveries = Basic User (AG or M&I @ $23.59/AF or $393/AF) + Water Master ($27.46/AF).
4 Minimum Charge W-2 = 0.75 X Basic User W-2 (M&I @ $1,072/AF, Ag @ 23.59/AF).
5 Minimum Charge W-5 = 0.75 X Basic User W-5 (M&I @ $393/AF, Ag @23.59/AF).
6 Treated Water Charge is the sum of Basic User ($1,072/AF) and Treated Water Surcharge ($100/AF).
7 The charge for non-contract deliveries is the sum of the basic user charge ($1,072/AF) and the treated water surcharge for non-contract water ($50/AF) for usage greater than 100% of contract amount.
AF = acre feet
Ag = agricultural
Non-Ag = municipal and industrial

What is cocaine? What is crack?
Cocaine, also called coke, nose candy, snow, blow or toot, is a drug of abuse that is derived from the coca plant. When mixed and heated with ether (cooked), a highly flammable substance (freebase), the gas that is the result of that process is released in its pure form, which can be inhaled. Crack cocaine, also called rock or rock cocaine, describes cocaine in solid form. It is manufactured by mixing powder cocaine with baking soda and water, which generates a highly concentrated and therefore highly addictive form of the substance. Crack cocaine is taken in by putting the cocaine rocks into a crack pipe and smoking them.
How is cocaine abused?
Cocaine is one of a number of street drugs that can be abused in a number of different ways, including injecting, smoking, inhaling associated vapors or taken in through the nose by snorting.
What are cocaine's effects on the body and the mind?
The time it takes for an individual to feel the effects of cocaine and the amount of time that cocaine stays in the system, is a function of the way the drug is taken. For example, when cocaine is in solid form, the person feels the effects of smoking the drug within seconds, while the powder form of cocaine that is snorted (taken intranasally) takes up to 10 minutes to take effect. Regardless of how this drug is taken, it tends to cause intense euphoria and highly intensifies every pleasure. Then the person tends to become hyperactive and excessively alert. Once the high wears off (in less than 20 minutes for crack), the person often becomes irritable, agitated, and uncomfortable.
The physiological (biological) effects of cocaine on the brain involve the drug's effects on brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Specifically, cocaine tends to dramatically increase the release of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Because these chemicals are involved in pleasure and well-being, alertness, increase in blood pressure and pulse, as well as happiness, the effects of cocaine on the body and mind are consistent with these effects. Other physical signs and symptoms of cocaine use include decreased appetite, sleep, and male infertility.
When a person withdraws from the effects of cocaine, the decrease in neurotransmitters can result in a sudden drop in blood pressure or pulse, severe depression, and sometimes even suicidal thoughts and attempts. For those who overdose on cocaine, the effect of excess dopamine can cause anger, aggressiveness, violence, psychosis, and sometimes homicidal thoughts and behavior. Physical symptoms of cocaine overdose can include seizures, irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), and heart attack. Cocaine abuse also tends to result in decreased inhibitions that can lead to risky sexual and other high-risk behaviors.

Kent Wedding In October
"This is a great place for dinner or to see a show."
Kate and Jeff's Wedding
"When I started looking into reception locations, I didn't even know the House of Blues was an option. I thought it could be an interesting venue and set up an appointment. Within the first ten minutes of the meeting with Rachel, I knew that HOB was the perfect location for our reception. Rachel was amazing to work with throughout the whole planning process. She was quick to respond to e-mails with all my questions and she made sure to keep the whole process moving along and keeping me on pace to get things done when they needed to happen. She also handled coordinating all the deliveries and set up with the various vendors we used for our music, photography, cake and flowers. When we did our final walk through the week before the reception, Rachel was so helpful in helping me nail down all the details and fully wrap my head around how everything was going to look. And on the day of the wedding, Rachel was there to make sure everything ran smoothly. She helped coordinate the timing on everything with the DJ and made sure we were where we needed to be at all the right times. She was so great and I wish I could work with her again sometime soon! With regard to HOB in general, I could not have been happier. The food was amazing – everyone I talked to said it was the best "reception food" they'd ever had. Everything was gorgeous – from the table set up to the lighting and candles. The on-site technicians handled designing and setting up all the lighting in a way that would coordinate with our colors and make the space look amazing. And really, you can't go wrong with a head table on a stage where so many awesome bands and performers have appeared over the years! HOB provides an amazing and unique location for your reception and I would definitely recommend it."
Tina and Justus's Wedding
"Having our wedding ceremony at the HOB was totally awesome! The venue is amazing, the staff is fantastic, and it really made for a one-of-a-kind, spectacular event. I found that the cost for the rental was not much more (and actually less in some cases) than renting an art gallery or something similar, and after including the staff's professionalism and coordination (because they put on large scale events all the time) it was totally worth it."
Cleveland Wedding In September
"Concerts and dinning!"
Cleveland Wedding In September
"House of Blues can be found on E. 4th street in downtown Cleveland. This is a great area with plenty of fun bars and restaurants to hang out at before/after the reception!"
Jaclyn and Drew's Wedding
"Quickly becoming a nightlife destination of choice, this narrow brick street is packed with upscale eateries and entertainment. Take in a show at the House of Blues. Laugh along with your favorite comedian at Hilarities. Bowl at the upscale Corner Alley. Savor a pint at Flannery"
Katie and Bryan 's Wedding

P!nk Confirms Duet with Eminem
It's no secret that they've have had their squabbles in the past, but P!nk and Eminem have made peace - and have even recorded a tune together.
The 32-year-old "So What" singer revealed that she and the "Love the Way You Lie" hitmaker teamed up on "a club banger" titled "Here Comes the Weekend," which may eventually be released as a single from The Truth About Love.
Talking with Australia's Herald Sun, P!nk dished, "He said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' '[Bleep] yeah!' I said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' and he said, '[Bleep] yeah!' Handshake. Nothing signed. Done."
Meanwhile, P!nk is among those set to perform at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas this September. Hear what she had to say about performing in Vegas and her new music in teh player below via 610 WIOD!

Energy bills are rocketing, but if you fancy throwing even more money at the sector, then pile into National Grid and dump shares in SSE.
That's what Morgan Stanley energy experts recommend in a note on European utility companies. With regulatory changes on the horizon — new Ofgem regulation on customer tariffs and the UK Energy Bill — Morgan Stanley thinks it is time to be selective.
It slapped an underweight — or sell — rating on SSE (Scottish & Southern Electric), the UK's second-largest energy supplier, and said: "Without a recovery in power prices we see limited growth."
It's also worried about the dividend cover. Morgan Stanley gave it a share price target of 1170p and its shares reversed 11p to 1425p today.
National Grid, albeit down 5.5p to 700.25p, is looking more attractive. Morgan Stanley's scribes rate it overweight — or buy — and gave it "top pick" status with a share price target of 775p, up from 730p.
Morgan Stanley thinks there is scope for more cost cuts after National Grid announced a reorganisation at its half-year results. It notes that its debt costs appear to be coming down and the stock "offers a fairly safe 2013 dividend yield of 6% and dividend growth of 3%".
Overall, Morgan Stanley's analysts said punters should stick to regulated utilities that have "safe dividends, good growth and regulatory visibility".
Shares on Wall Street fell back a tad yesterday when Republican leader John Boehner made it clear that negotiations on the fiscal cliff have not progressed as far as more optimistic commentators had previously suggested. Meanwhile, over in Europe unemployment figures were in line with weak expectations. But the FTSE 100 index clung on to previous gains. It moved up 6.69 points to 5876.99 — a two-week high. Despite the wider discouraging global outlook, UK confidence appears to be returning — the latest GfK UK consumer sentiment survey showed confidence has reached an 18-month high moving from -30 to -22.
Although the blue-chip index remains in positive territory, riskier stocks in the financial sector were out of favour with investors.
Royal Bank of Scotland fell toward the bottom of the top-flight index as it admitted one of its planned disposals has run aground. A previous agreement to sell its Indian retail and commercial banking unit had lapsed and no deal is going ahead. It will now wind the business up and its shares wound down 1.6p to 297.25p.
There was better news at chemical groups Johnson Matthey and Croda International. Both got upgrades from analysts at Credit Suisse. Johnson Matthey, upgraded to outperform and given a share-price target of 2400p, travelled to the top of the benchmark index, gaining 31p to 2419.5p, and Croda, upgraded to neutral, edged up 15p to 2367.5p.
On the mid-cap index, hedge-fund group Man Group continued its gains this week and jumped 3.15p to 79.68p.
ANT, the AIM-listed software group, agreed a £5 million takeover from Espial UK at a 20% premium to its share price. Its shares were unchanged at 18.75p. The talks with the digital TV software group were announced in September.Reuse content
