Too cheap to pave driveway. Bought 6000 pavers instead. UPDATED!
9 Attachment(s)
In case anyone is considering a new driveway, I wanted to share my latest adventure.
I'm in the northeast, just got a few quotes for the driveway to be redone... 7500 to get it paved. 10,000 for concrete. As someone who does absolutely all of their own work, paying someone close to what I paid for both our BMWs made me sick to my stomach. Also, the idea of the paving sinking with time, or the concrete heaving from the frost or cracking, I refused.
Then I found the bricks on sale, and have taken on a ridiculous task for one person alone. Rented an excavator, hired a guy with a dump, and I was off to work. I'm at 85% done lying pavers now. I took a week off from work and put in about 50 hours work thus far. Another 20 hours I presume.
New driveway is looking to run me about $4200 all in, huge biceps, and a broken back.
Only thing left after I finish is to run a compactor over the pavers with the sand to straighten them out and prep for vehicles. Will post finished pics.

Update: Finished two weeks ago. Sealed it, that was $200 more. I love it. I love the way the car looks on it. I love the red. Its got some waves, and its not perfect. No one but me will notice, but in the end, I'd do it again in a heartbeat (luckily I don't have to.)

You must have some crazy concrete people if it is more expensive than pavers.
Good for you for DIY, but was it really worth it?
$7500 - $500 min discount to close deal = $7000 - $4200 = $2800
$2800 / 80 hours = $35 per hour and no warranty.
Did you see what labor would have cost by itself?
I doubt any paver company would have passed on $1000 labor for one day of work for 4-5 guys making $10 hour.
Regardless, congrats!

I came in at about $3 plus my labor. My time isn't worth much, I'm a lousy worker. Don't really need a warranty for a brick driveway.
Looks great, nice work man! The way I look at it is the price does not really matter because to me, the pavers look much better than tar or concrete from a curb appeal perspective.
I did a patio a few years ago that was about 35x25. The day they dropped the 4 pallets of pavers off at my house, I just about had a heart attack (I had to haul them up 6 at a time from the alley, which is 100 feet away and up a flight of stairs.) imagining how long it was going to take, but it turned out great.
BTW- You will be very happy once you add sand to lock them in place and run the compactor over the bricks as it really levels them out, giving it a very professional look.
it looks good !
love posts like this...Im a DIY guy also and I can totally understand where your coming from...Just wondering was a permit required for this and if so how easy was it to get? I got a bunch of stuff I need to do around my house but since I have some noisy neighbors I cant even pick up a rock at my house without them calling the town requesting a permit :banghead:
Thanks Custom. no permit required in my town. I live next door to the town clerk so I had to make sure. We made sure to work only M-F 8-5 so to not piss off the neighbors too much. Today was pretty bad when I started using the saw to cut bricks. Its done though, starting to lay sand tomorrow.
More pics man.
Looks much better than concrete, I applaud you for doing the work. Even if I had the skills, I would not want to do that myself, do you not have Mexicans in uptown NY? They would had paved it for $500 around my neck of the woods.
I wish we had cheap labor up here. The ones we do have, you'd better be sure your tools and house are locked up.
what kind of base did u use ? did u use sand and stone etc...or did u use one kindof stone and then compact it ?
are you afraid of it settling ?
have u done this before or did u learn to do it from youtube videos /
it looks very nice though, very professional and upscale.

Those prices are insane!!! I live in a little complex with 3 other houses. We have a HUGE driveway. Over 200' from the last house down to the street. Myself and my neighbors all pitched in to have our roadway and driveways all paved. The bill was $6k. That was 7yrs ago and it still looks new.
Looks great though! I like the bricks

I dug to 12 inches. Installed a driveway liner fabric. Put in ten inches of crusher run stone. Ran a gas powered compactor over that. Then I put down 1.5 inches of stone dust (fine gravel) and screeded that with a 2x4. Laid bricks on that. When the bricks were finished, I put down as much sand as I could on top and spread it around. Ran the compactor over that about 4 times, continually adding more sand. Then I spent another day sweeping sand into the cracks. Waiting for the rain to clean and settle the sand, then I'll apply sealer.
I learned a lot from the internet, but have a basic background in construction, diy, etc...
Pics today while I was sweeping sand, looking forward to the rain and sealer to help get rid of the pink look you see in the pics.

If you study ethnobotany one thing you will learn is that natives often used several species in a genus without making any distinction between them. This was quite true of several "ground cherries" found in Florida. They used them interchangeably. This may also be true with some Liatris of which there are 43 species, all native to North America.
Liatris' purple spike of flowers doesn't suggest any edibility. Indeed, until a few years ago I knew it as sporadic wildflower that would lie dormant for perhaps a century before blooming (after being coaxed out of slumber by a forest fire. ) But a few Liatris, perhaps more, put on an edible tuber. Just make sure you are not cooking up a rare one for dinner.
Charles M. Allen in his book "Edible Plants of the Gulf South" makes no distinction between the 43 species of Liatris. He says the root is edible. Couplan in his "Encyclopedia of Edible Plants of North America" is more specific. He writes L. punctata have edible "corms." Couplan adds that L. scariosa, L. spictata, and L. squarrosa were used as a diuretic and that L. ohlingera is endangered. Moerman in "Native American Food Plants" says the roots of L. punctata and L. punctata var. punctata were baked and eaten by various tribes. There is little doubt the L. punctata was eaten. But there are also suggestions L. spicata — found locally — was eaten as well. Complicating this is the fact L. punctata (the Dotted Blazing Star) is rare in someplaces and prolific in others. Know what kind of area you are in.
L. punctata is found in 19 states: Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming but endangered in Michigan and Wisconsin. We have at least seven different Liatris species in Florida including L. spicata, or Dense Blazing Star. The others are L. chapmanii, L. elegans, L. gracilis, L. ohlingerae, L. pauciflora, and L. tennuifolia. L. spicata is found east of Mississippi, eastern Canada, and states along the western shore of the Mississippi.
The carrot-flavored roots have inulin, a polysaccharide also found in Jerusalem artichoke roots. It doesn't spike blood glucose levels when consumed thus is a starch edible by diabetics. While some stems were used as a famine food other parts of the plant were used medicinally often to treat heart ailments which makes sense as the species contains some coumarin. Plains tribes used the Dotted Blazing Star to make a tea that was used for kidney, bladder, and menstrual problems, water retention, gonorrhea, colic, sore throat and laryngitis. Mashed roots were applied to snake bites. Dry roots were burned like incense to relieve headaches, nosebleeds, and tonsillitis. L. chapmanii and L. gracilis might be active against various human cancers.
Domestic livestock like the Dotted Blazing Star particularly sheep. Rocky Mountain Elk also eat it and White-Tail Deer. A variety of small rodents like it — especially the roots — and it is the only source of food for some butterflies. The species apparently also has toxic pyrrolizidine but in very low levels.
As for the botanical name no one knows for sure why the genus is called Liatris (Lee-AT-tris or lye-AT-tris.) Punctata (punct-TAH-ta) means with dots and spicata (spih-KAY-tah) is flowering with a spike. The genus was created by J.C.D. vom Schreber 1739-1810. He might have used the Gaelic word liatrus, spoon-shaped, as a reference to the sometimes bulbous root.
Green Deane's Itemized Plant Profile: Liatris
IDENTIFICATION: Liatris punctata: Warm-season perennial, several hairless stems, four to 32 inches high, leaves alternate, numerous, dotted with tiny pits, hairless except of coarse hairs on the edges. Lower leaves usually smaller than those above and soon dropped; flower is a dense spike up to a foot long of pink flowers that turn to dandelion-like pappus. Rhizomatous taproot is short, thick, four to 16 feet deep, with lateral roots at various levels. Roots are grayish-black in cross section. Note the L. spicata has a rounder top than the L. puncatata.
TIME OF YEAR: Anytime however only new root growth is edible.
ENVIRONMENT: Dry, open places, sandy soil
METHOD OF PREPARATION: New portion of roots roasted. (The plant keeps adding to the root.) Sometimes the root was consumed raw.

Mitt Romney is so stupid, he said this last night:
Syria is Iran's only ally in the Arab world. It's their route to the sea.
As you can see above, Iran actually has extensive coastline—the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf (named after, you know, the Iranian precursor Persia) and the Gulf of Oman. Meanwhile, Syria doesn't even share a border with Iran.
So pretty clear cut, right? Romney is a moron, and basic geography rebuts his idiocy. Ah, but never underestimate the ability of conservatives to defend their own against reality. In this case, the honors go to National Review neocon Greg Pollowitz, who argues that Romney was right!
Neo-con hilariously tries to defend Romney's Syria is Iran's 'route to sea' gaffe

I wanted to know what is the average cost based on my description for a full tummy tuck? I am 5'7" and weigh 190lbs. I have had a weight loss of 35lbs. after having a baby. I live in Alabama and am trying to get a ideal price range of how much a tummy tuck would cost for someone like me. I know there is no exact price,basically I am trying to find out round about price so that will also help me choose a surgeon because I am going to go ahead and try to schedule my surgery within 3 months.
For a Bigger Person at 190lbs. at 5'7", What is the Average Range in Cost for a Tummy Tuck
Doctor Answers 1
Prices for a tummy tuck
Prices for tummy tucks vary among plastic surgeons in a given community as well as in different areas around the country. If you would like to have surgery performed in your general vicinity, your best bet is to schedule a few consultations with reputable board certified plastic surgeons, figure out who you are comfortable with and what the different prices are. Trying to obtain the lowest price may very well not get you the best result though paying top dollar also doesn't guarantee the results.

C.J. Box, Shots Fired: Stories from Joe Pickett Country Tattered Cover Highlands Ranch 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 16
Prolific Wyoming detective-fiction writer C.J. Box, known for his Joe Pickett mysteries, comes to the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch to sign what must be his umpteenth installment in the series (the first was published in 2001), but with a twist: Shots Fired packages his tried-and-true tales in short-form. Only some of them feature nosy game warden Pickett, but all of them take place in Pickett's dark and woodsy milieu. Just the thing for folks who can't get enough of C.J. Box.

I live in NYC , but escape to my beautiful lakehome in CT on most weekends. I run a camp recruiting business called Camp Specialists, helping parents identify the best summer camp placement for their child.
Arlene Streisand purchased this house in 2004
I have owned many vacation homes in the past, including in the Hamptons and MA Berkshires, but none are quite like this one. The tranquil environment, beautiful surroundings and quick trip from NY make this the perfect summer getaway.
Whether you like to read in a hammock overlooking a peaceful lake, kayak from one end to another, go for a run or bike ride through a beautiful neighborhood, play tennis, golf, or any fun summer activity you can think of, this is the perfect escape for you.
'6' Ski Areas between 15 and 40 minutes away- great for the kids
Arlene's house was so comfortable, so clean and so peaceful. We are happy to have found it and grateful for the easy way in which everything was handled. The lake is spectacular to see outside, the fishing is great (off the dock or on the canoe) and Woodridge has a lot to offer. The kids took swimming lessons, there was tennis for the adults, golf nearby, as well as horseback riding, great restaurants and other family-friendly activities. Highly recommended. We hope to go back again soon!
My family had a wonderful time at this beautiful home directly on Woodridge Lake. The house easily accommodated my two sons and their wives, our toddler granddaughter, and my husband and me. There is plenty of space to spend time together or to have quiet time alone. The scenery from the deck is spectacular. My sons and daughter-in-law enjoyed golf (close by), tennis, and the beach. Out toddler granddaughter loved the small beaches that were not overwhelming for her. The property was clean and well-maintained. Arlene was responsive to the few questions that we had and was helpful in suggesting activities and restaurants. We had an amazing time! Thank you for sharing your lovely vacation home.
Our family, which included four adults and two teenagers, enjoyed a relaxing week in this beautiful lake house. The pictures of the house does not do it justice! The house is immaculate, up-to-date and was very comfortable for the six of us. The local contact person for the house was very helpful and got back to us immediately when we had a question. The Association has great facilities with a pool, tennis courts, snack bar and marina. We had most of our meals at the house and went out locally for ice cream a few times. The lake is serene and we enjoyed canoeing, fishing and just the peaceful, restful view. At night we had great fun in playing family games. The week vacation at this lake house exceeded our expectations! Everyone wanted to stay longer and it is highly recommended.
Had a great time at the house. It was in immaculate condition when we arrived. Owners were very helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay. The lake and surrounding area are beautiful and the kids loved playing in the yard and hiking trails in nearby parks.
The home and surrounding area was just as described and the pictures were perfect. Prior to booking and throughout the entire process from our arrival to our departure Arlene, the owner, was responsive and wonderful to work with. Everything was perfect and our stay met every expectation for spending some quality time with our grown children. We boated, kayaked, enjoyed the hammock, and thoroughly enjoyed shared cooking experiences in the kitchen. What could top morning coffee and family meals on the deck with views of a beautiful and quiet lake !! More than enough space to be together and also have some personal down time. We loved it!!
The house was just as described - clean, updated kitchen and appliances, gas grill on the deck, nice bedrooms, good entertainment system, the use of 2 kayaks and floats, and most importantly an excellent location right on a beautiful lake. The nearby area offered numerous activities and a nice range of restaurants to meet any tastes and price range. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
In the heart of beautiful Litchfield County, this area has the beauty of the Berkshires, without all the bustle. Great restaurants nearby, three wineries within a few miles and lots of local shops and ice cream parlors - that's if you ever want to leave the property and the beauty of the lake that is in your backyard.

Slow start to LORDA syrup production
LANSDOWNE – Jim Crawford holds out a cup filled with a clear liquid. It doesn't look like much – in fact it just looks like water.
Mom blames poor tests that failed to diagnose Lyme disease
SUTHERLANDS RIVER – For 8 1/2 years, Angela Rector brought her daughter to doctor after doctor, looking for answers.
Chelsey Livingstone, 11, lives in pain. She describes joints that ache so badly it keeps her up at night and a sharp pain in her stomach.
"It feels like someone's stabbing me in my belly," she says softly.
From the time she was a small child, she'd call out to her mother as she lay in bed at night, and in the time it took Rector to get across the hallway, she'd find Chelsey lying there, staring unresponsively at the ceiling with blue lips. Doctors thought she had epilepsy at first, but ruled that out, instead calling the nightly events "episodes."
Doctors didn't believe Chelsey when she said how bad the pain was, either.
"You know how they always ask how bad the pain is on a scale of one to 10? She'd say a 15, and they said that was impossible," said Rector.
She was tested for rheumatoid arthritis, bladder infections, Crohn's and irritable bowel, but all the possibilities were rejected. Eventually, says Rector, physicians at the IWK suggested it was all in Chelsey's head and gave her a book on ways to cut back her stress levels.
Rector wasn't willing to give up, however. All along, she begged the doctors to consider Lyme disease. When Chelsey was just 2 1/2, the family was living in Borden, Ont., and Rector believed her daughter had been bitten by a tick.
"We never saw the tick, but she had the classic bull's-eye rash," she recalls. "She's been sick since pretty much the day it happened. She had the rash, a high fever, but the Department of Health in Ontario told us there weren't cases of Lyme disease up there. So I assumed it was the flu – every night she'd vomit."
She never got better. Doctors tested for Lyme disease, says Rector, but blood tests in Canada aren't always accurate.
"Every time, I'd ask them if they were sure it wasn't Lyme disease, they'd do the test, it would come back negative," said Rector.
Finally, she took her daughter to local naturopath Lisa McNiven, who did the tests that officially diagnosed Chelsey last month, just two days before she turned 11.
"We're still in shock," says Rector. "When they told us – I couldn't even speak, I was so mad. They could have diagnosed her a long time ago if there were better tests."
For Chelsey, though, it was a relief to know what was happening.
"At least I know what's wrong – I was scared," she said.
Chelsey was immediately referred to a doctor in Port Hawkesbury who is an expert with the disease. He put her on a regime of medications – 26 different types a day, including a variety of herbs, vitamins and supplements. In just a month, it's become second nature for her to carry around pillboxes to remind her which medications to take.
At night, she has to rub castor oil on her joints and sleep surrounded by heating pads to help ease the pain.
"It's really, really unfortunate this has gone on so long," said Rector. "The doctor told us he doesn't even know if it can be fixed – he told us it could get better, it could stay the same or maybe it would get worse. He's hoping that because she's young, her body will be able to fight it."
The disease has already affected her liver, pancreas, circulatory system, small intestine and short-term memory. Chelsey is usually in too much pain to do the things other kids her age do – playing outside is enough to leave her in tears.
"She's got quite a battle ahead of her – the doctor asked her if she was willing to fight, and I know I'll keep fighting for her," Rector said.
Complicating things further is the fact that Chelsey is allergic to penicillin, which means the most common antibiotics can't be used. The initial antibiotic they tried isn't working – it stirs up the bacteria so much that it causes excruciating pain – so they're waiting for a medicine to be shipped from the United States.
"We're hoping this one will work better," said Rector, adding that the $90 a bottle medicine will only last about a month. "The doctor's told us that it's going to get worse before it gets better. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is Chelsey's normal now."
Chelsey's medications cost more than $800 a month and she has to travel to Port Hawkesbury every month to see her doctor. None of it is covered by her insurance. Normally, the treatments would last around six months, but because she's been left undiagnosed for so long, it will take at least a year – and possibly up to three years – before she's finished with the medical regime.
Rector's husband has a disability and can't work, leaving Rector, who just finished school, the only breadwinner in the house. They also have a younger son with special needs.
"It's been tough – it seems like she's getting a new pill every time we turn around," Rector said. "We've literally had to sell stuff and borrow money from every person in our family, choose between paying the bills or getting her medicine."
At first, said Rector, the family refused help from anyone.
"We didn't want to bother anyone," she said. "But everyone kept telling me this is what your community is for."
Collection bins have been placed at various locations in the Thorburn, Sutherlands River and Merigomish area and people have been very generous.
"One bucket at the LBR had $195 in it – from people wanting to help me," said Chelsey, her eyes sparkling. "And that was only after a few days."
A benefit dance is also being held tonight at the Glasgow Pub, with a silent auction and 50/50 draw.
"We're hoping to get enough to get us through the next few months," said Rector.
She's also hoping that Chelsey's story will encourage other parents to take added precautions to protect their children.
Lyme disease is spread through the bite of infected ticks. If it's caught quickly, it can be cured with antibiotics.
Although Chelsey is believed to have contracted the disease in Ontario, last year it was announced that blacklegged ticks, known for carrying Lyme disease in other parts of the province, had been found in the county – specifically in the areas around Melmerby Beach, Egerton, Kings Head and Pine Tree, while Powell Point and Thorburn are being monitored closely.
"If your child has a tick on them, take it to the hospital with them so it can be tested and get them on antibiotics right away," she said. "If there's Lyme disease in the tick, it will clear up. Chelsey never got put on antibiotics. I'm hoping others will be more informed and aware about Lyme disease."

High-rise buildings approved in the Frankston area threaten to cast shadows over the beach and cause traffic congestion, residents fear.
Earlier this month, Planning Minister Matthew Guy approved an eight-storey head office for South East Water despite community groups, councillors and Frankston MP Geoff Shaw expressing concerns about its location on public land at Kananook Creek.
Another developer has recently lodged plans to build an 11-storey office tower with shops and residences at Kananook Creek.
Frankston resident Nicole Clarke said the development would cast a shadow on the creek and possibly the beach and cause traffic congestion.
''This will put houses and the creek in the shade for a good portion of the morning,'' she said. ''We are all for progress but not at the cost of making the foreshore ugly.''
Long Island Residents Group committee member Rob Thurley - who spearheaded a community campaign against the South East Water building - said Frankston had become the only community south of the city that had high-rise developments on natural assets.
''You can't do this in Brighton, you can't do this in Rosebud. It's a complete affront to local democracy.''
Frankston councillor Glenn Aitken said the council's decision to approve the South East Water building had set a dangerous precedent.
''It has substantially weakened our position to argue against other tall buildings in that vicinity.''
But Frankston council chief executive Dennis Hovenden denied claims the South East Water building had set a precedent. ''Each application is assessed on its merits,'' he said.
He said the application for the 11-storey building was open for public comment and there would be a community meeting in early May. He said council had not yet formed any view on the proposal.
In an email to Long Island Residents Group in December, Mr Shaw said he would have preferred the South East Water development to be elsewhere in Frankston.
''That was not my choice, nor was I asked for an opinion,'' he wrote.
Mr Shaw and the state government have said the South East Water complex will bring 700 jobs to Frankston.

Nicole Kidman: Life is Better After Divorce From Tom Cruise
It's rare that Hollywood marriages actually work out, and Nicole Kidman's marriage to Tom Cruise ended up as one of those tragic statistics.
However, the "Moulin Rouge" actress says she couldn't be happier now that she's in a loving union with husband Keith Urban.
Kidman told Le Matin, "Everything is different, simpler. I'm more confident within myself and calmer. It's no doubt due to the extra years that have made me more mature and surer of my beliefs and my choices."
And it sounds like Nicole gets the royal treatment from her country crooner hubby- "Totally! He leaves me a love letter every time we're apart. It's amazing to get that kind of attention from a man who loves you."

Biogen Idec Announces Positive Top-Line Results from Phase 3 Study of Peginterferon Beta-1a in Multiple Sclerosis
Today Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) released the primary efficacy analysis and safety data from its Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial, ADVANCE. Results support peginterferon beta-1a as a potential treatment dosed every two weeks or every four weeks for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Peginterferon beta-1a is a new molecular entity in which interferon beta-1a is pegylated to extend its half-life and prolong its exposure in the body, enabling study of a less frequent dosing schedule.
The primary endpoint of ADVANCE, annualized relapse rate (ARR) at one year, was met for both the two-week and four-week dose regimens. Results showed that peginterferon beta-1a also met the secondary endpoints of risk of 12-week confirmed disability progression, proportion of patients who relapsed and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments for both dose regimens. Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and discontinuations due to AEs were similar across both dose groups. Overall with both dose regimens studied, the risk-benefit profile of peginterferon beta-1a appears to be favorable.
"If approved, peginterferon beta-1a will represent an innovation that offers patients a less frequent dosing schedule of no more than 26 doses annually, as well as a significant reduction in relapses and disability progression," said Gilmore O'Neill, vice president, Global Neurology Late Stage Clinical Development at Biogen Idec. "Interferons are an important and widely used option for many patients. As a leader in MS, Biogen Idec has the deepest MS pipeline in the industry and we remain steadfast in our commitment to study compounds that target a broad range of patients' needs."
The ADVANCE study included more than 1,500 patients with RRMS and was designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of peginterferon beta-1a compared to placebo at one year. Results showed that when administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection, peginterferon beta-1a 125 mcg demonstrated a significant reduction in ARR at one year. Compared to placebo, ARR reduction with two-week dosing was 35.6 percent (p<0.001) and with four-week dosing was 27.5 percent (p<0.02).
Results showed that peginterferon beta-1a also met all secondary endpoints compared to placebo for both dose regimens.
Peginterferon beta-1a reduced the risk of 12-week confirmed disability progression as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) by 38 percent in both dosing arms (p<0.04). Peginterferon beta-1a reduced the proportion of patients who relapsed by 39 percent in the once every two-week dosing arm (p<0.001) and by 26 percent in the once every four-week dosing arm (p<0.03). Peginterferon beta-1a reduced the number of new or newly enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions on brain MRI scans by 67 percent in the once every two-week dosing arm (p<0.001) and by 28 percent in the once every four-week dosing arm (p<0.001). In ADVANCE, both dosing regimens showed favorable safety and tolerability profiles. The overall incidence of SAEs and AEs was similar among the peginterferon beta-1a and placebo groups. The most common SAE was infections, which was balanced across all treatment groups (≤1 percent per group).
The most commonly reported AEs with peginterferon beta-1a treatment were redness at the injection site and influenza-like illness.
ADVANCE data will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting in March of this year.
Based on top-line data from the ADVANCE clinical trial, regulatory submissions in the United States and European Union are planned for peginterferon beta-1a in 2013.
After completing two years in the ADVANCE study, patients have the option of enrolling in an open-label extension study called ATTAIN and will be followed for up to four years.

Artist: The Residents
Album: Stars And Hank Forever
Appears On (Mixes): Past The Barber and Gymnasium
Song Notes: The Residents added some back story and a lot of darkness to their cover of Hank Williams, Sr.'s rather upbeat song. This was on the Stars And Hank Forever album, part two of the American Composer Series, made up of compositions by Williams and John Philip Sousa (the first was George and James, split between George Gershwin and James Brown). The original plan was to do one a year for 20 years, but raised royalty rates based on the new CD format made the project too expensive (and the project was originally made for the LP format; each side of the record was a different composer, which didn't work as well with the CD format). Every so often, the Residents will make rumblings that they might continue the American Composer Series someday, but, then again, they've also said that someday they'll go back to The Mole Trilogy, too. - Rev. Syung Myung Me

That extremely loud hooting sound you can hear is the Fiver's Premier League Showdown klaxon, which has been annoyingly woo-hooing like an air-raid siren ahead of Premier League Judgement Day this weekend. By 5pm on Sunday, the identity of this season's Premier League champions will be confirmed and the players of either Manchester City or Liverpool will be squawking incomprehensibly, hugging each other, necking cheap fizz straight from the jeroboam and preparing to deliriously pogo on a hastily erected plywood bank advertisement under a blizzard of shiny ticker-tape. Who will it be? Can we expect a twist? And will Po' John Terry make it from Cardiff to Anfield or the Etihad in time to don the pertinent replica kit and join in the celebrations? These are the questions the Fiver and other football fans are all a-pondering.
At the moment, the title is Manchester City's to throw away, much like they very nearly did against QPR a couple of seasons ago until a late, late goal from Sergio Agüero saved their bacon and left Lord Ferg's complexion looking a shade of purple that had hacks googling the Dulux paint colour chart in a bid to find out how best to describe it ("mulberry burst", in case you're wondering). But should City slip $tevie Mbe-style at the crucial moment against West Ham and end up getting beaten, Liverpool will surely capitalise by trouncing Newcastle, who are the one team you'd fairly confidently put the farm on rolling over and allowing their opponents to ratchet up some small bit of pressure on their Mancunian rivals.
"We need to go to Anfield and put in a top performance," said Newcastle manager Alan Pardew-Out, who must know his side could win 11-0 and he still won't escape a mauling from their fans and the media on Tyneside. But if the identity of Liverpool's opponents is bad news for Manchester City, they will be buoyed by the news that Agüero has recovered from knack and will be fit to play against West Ham if required. The Argentinian goal-getter has recovered from the groin-gah that ruled him out of City's 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa on Tuesday. "The whole squad is fit for Sunday," said his manager Manuel Pellegrini. "It is very important, always for a manager, if you have your whole squad and choose from all your players."
Meanwhile back at Anfield, Liverpool are pinning their forlorn hopes on Andy Carroll and Stewart Downing, two players drummed out of the gaff at a combined loss of £35m, and their skipper, a Liverpool supporter named Kevin, who enjoys pretending to be a chicken. "We will be in touch with them before Sunday, of course," said Liverpool's Lucas Leiva, removing the straw from his refreshing beverage and clutching it tightly. "They [Carroll and Downing] have worked with us and I'm sure they will do their best to get points for West Ham first of all and if they can help us too." The Fiver would happily call this one, but our prediction will be drowned out by the relentless woo-hooing of that godammed klaxon.
Join Jacob Steinberg from 7.45pm for hot Championship play-off MBM coverage of Wigan 2-2 QPR.
"Players have come to me saying our [Mr 15%s] say you are not going to be here next season. It's a difficult situation. If you have a supply teacher who comes in, sometimes they're not treated with the respect of a headmaster" – Tactics Tim wanted R-E-S-P-E-C-T. That's all.

"Apologies if I am the 1,057th pedant to mention it, but this persistent talk of $tevie Mbe's unfortunate 'slip' (even by Mbe himself) having cost his team the league title is getting on my wick. It wasn't the slip what done it. It was Mbe letting the ball roll under his foot while gazing out towards his team-mates somewhere near the horizon. And after that he did slip, but by then the jig was up" – Mike Hatcher (and no other pedants).
"Further to David Patterson (Wednesday's Fiver letters), can I please suggest a Monty Python-inspired letter section along the line of 'you think you got it bad' with respect to manager comings and goings? As a Forest supporter, we've had Billy Davies (twice), Sean O'Driscoll, Alex McLeish, Gary Brazil, Second-choice Steve, Steve Cotterill, and about five others in the last 15 years. We're in exactly the same position as we were when we started the managerial farce – anyone care to beat that?" – Paul Honeyfield [here we go – Fiver Ed].
"Firstly, two things to point out here: i) this has no place in The Fiver; ii) this is how you spend Friday lunchtimes when you work in IT. I read David's missive and Michael Stead's reply (yesterday's letters) and it rang true with a statement I made to some friends last week, when Forest finally made sure they would not make the Premier League, that being in the Premier League for most teams is an overrated, mostly joyless experience. Yes you get to keep your better players for a season or two longer, and yes, players moving to Reading or Wigan because it's a step up can be grating, but even mid-table Premier League teams go months getting battered and without seeing a win, and who wants that? I looked at last season's tables and the teams finishing mid-table across the Premier League, the Championship and the other big European leagues to see which leagues were the most joyless for mid-table teams and, based on points per game, the Premier League is an horrendous place to be a fan: Toulouse (1.34pts), Nacional (1.33), Vitória de Guimarães (1.33), Birmingham City (1.33), Nasty Leeds (1.33), Hannover 96 (1.32), FC Nürnberg (1.29), Parma (1.29), Valenciennes (1.26), Getafe (1.24), Cagliari (1.24), West Ham (1.21), Levante (1.21) and Norwich (1.16). As just staying up is considered a success for most clubs, I looked at that too and the Premier League looks a little better there, but this also highlights again how grim life is for a mid-table team. Barnsley fans last season still saw their team pick up more points per game than mid-table Norwich, and they got the drama of an end-of-season escape: Barnsley (1.20), Ajaccio (1.05), Sunderland (1.03), Genoa (1.00), Celta Vigo (0.97), Augsburg (0.97) and Olhanense (0.83). I don't know why I'm sending this to you but it certainly makes me feel better about Forest blowing the second half of their season while employing a [Snip – Fiver Lawyers] as a manager for most of it.

PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) -- A survivor of a deadly bus crash in Eastern Oregon says she and several other passengers were ejected after the tour bus smashed through a guardrail and plummeted down an embankment
Twenty-two-year-old Berlyn Sanderson of Canada says windows on the bus broke as it careened down the embankment, and she and a number of others were thrown out.
She says the bus began skidding on ice before it hit the guardrail on Interstate 84 and plummeted 100 feet down an embankment.
Sunday's crash killed nine people and sent more than 30 others to hospitals.
It occurred on a section of I-84 that is notorious for its icy conditions during the winter.
The bus was returning to British Columbia from a trip to Las Vegas. Some of the passengers were exchange students from South Korea.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an alternative treatment for many ailments. It is cost effective, non-invasive, safe method of delivering pure oxygen at greater than atmospheric pressure to improve or correct virtually any condition where the body is affected by poor circulation.
What to Expect
When you receive HBOT therapy, you'll sit in a small pressurized chamber that delivers 10-15 times more oxygen than is delivered at sea level (or the altitude you're used to). You may read a book or listen to music while you sit comfortably inside the chamber, and you probably won't feel anything more than your ears popping (some people don't even notice that). The chamber has a small window, and if you are unable to stay inside the chamber, you may exit at any time. You'll receive the benefits that athletes receive when they train at different altitudes: besides increasing the delivery of oxygen throughout the body, HBOT enhances the white blood cells' ability to fight infection, helps the body build new connective tissue, and kills certain types of harmful bacteria.
The FDA has approved HBOT for treatment of:
• Air or gas embolism
• Carbon monoxide and cyanide poisoning
• Clostridal myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
• Crush injury, Compartment Syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias
• Decompression sickness
• Enhancement of healing of persistent wounds
• Deficient blood (anemia)
• Intracranial abscess
• Necrotizing soft tissue infection
• Osteomyelitis (refractory)
• Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bone necrosis)
• Compromised skin grafts and flaps (compromised)
Other conditions that may benefit from HBOT as an alternative treatment:
• Traumatic brain injury
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
• Stroke
• Head injury
• Cerebral palsy
• Sports injuries
• Multiple sclerosis
• Lyme disease
• Healing after cosmetic surgery
• Autism
• Psoriasis
Please note that HBOT is most helpful when used in combination with other therapies. Call us today at 1-888-564-2700 or tell us more to schedule an appointment to learn if HBOT may be an alternative treatment option for you.

Beautiful but not functional: Royal Princess Cruise Review by cruzizzy
Overall Member Rating
Beautiful but not functional
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The positives:
- The in-cabin entertainment system is a big improvement with on-demand movies, several news channels, and a large TV screen.
- The new intranet system allows you to check your onboard account, see the daily activities (as you'd see in the Princess Patter), and more.
- We appreciated the free non-alcoholic drink package (in addition to one free mini-bar setup).
- Our cabin steward, as most we've had, was attentive and gave excellent service.
- Crew members were polite and friendly nearly everywhere.
The negatives:
- The seawalk on deck 16 is a useless addition. It is little used, once walked on, and interferes with the privacy of the balconies below it.
- The ridiculous More placement of the toilet paper holder under the sink and in back of where one would normally reach it. You have to be part contortionist to reach the paper. C'mon Princess: did anybody actually try this out before it was installed in all the cabins?
- The balcony has shrunk to a nearly unusable size. Two chairs and a mini table. That's it.
- The ship's narrow width and shallow draft caused us to feel more motion while at sea than we've ever felt aboard any Princess ship. I actually felt seasick for about 30 hours. People in a nearby cabin also mentioned feeling poorly during the same period.
- Only one full-size pool is available. The other "splash" pool is a total waste; it's a small round pool surrounded by a huge amount of tile that no one seems to sit or stand on. A ship this size really needs two pools, as found on most of the other Princess ships.
- Promenade deck. Yes, there's one, but in name only. Passengers can no longer walk around the ship. There are a few open areas, such as outside Facets, with nice chairs and tables, but even there the lack of a roof overhead from the above deck leaves one totally out in the open. Many, many fellow passengers commented on this "feature" and said how much they miss this deck. I hope Princess will not continue removing this deck on its future ships!
- Horizon Court and the adjoining Horizon Bistro have a new arrangement of food set out in spread out areas, and a totally separate pastry area far away from the other food areas. Although this eliminated some food lines, we found it very inconvenient trying to locate things and much prefer the arrangement of everything in one area as found on the Emerald, Coral, Ruby, Grand, etc. Twice I totally lost track of my husband as we wandered around getting our meal.
- As usual, we found the Broadway shows to be much, much too loud, so much so that this detracted from the entertainment. Hey Princess: Yes, we're getting older, and some of us may be losing some hearing, but we're not deaf yet! Tone it down, please.
- The Princess Theater has two big flaws: A. No side aisle, so seat ingress/egress is totally from the center aisle. Not only is this more difficult to navigate, but also it could be dangerous in a situation where the theater might need to be evacuated quickly. B. The little trays that are normally stored inside the arm between each seat are non-existent. One wonders why this change was made!
- As many others have mentioned, there is no central staircase other than those in the atrium from decks 5 to 7. Consequently the central elevators are jammed and slow.
- As elite cruises we were supposed to receive upgraded bathroom amenities, but these never appeared.
- Embarkation in Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades) was a farce. So many "preferred boarding" (Platinum and Elite) passengers were apparently on this cruise that the other line waiting to get into the terminal moved along much faster than ours. This could be remedied beforehand when Princess has the numbers available of each type of cruiser about to board: when so many preferred boarders are going to be in line, they should create more counter spaces for that particular cruise. Overall, this was positively the worst boarding experience we've ever had with any cruise line. Many times we arrive at the terminal, and after a short wait transact our boarding procedure at the counter and go upstairs onto the ship and right into our cabin.
- Food: we eat many meals in alternative dining because of food allergies and food preferences. Overall, I think the quality of food has deteriorated from earlier years. I can recall four or five years ago having a fabulous cold seafood buffet in the Horizon Court (or perhaps it was the Cafe Caribe) the first night aboard: bowls of cold shrimp, oysters, mussels, etc., plus the usual side dishes, breads, salads, etc. On this cruise, dishes were repeated upstairs too much (I think we had roast pork 3 nights), and much of the food was very spicy. More non-spicy alternatives should be added, such as to the breakfast sausage offerings (both turkey sausage and pork sausage contained red pepper).
- Internet. The Internet Cafe is very small, but I think this may be because many passengers now have their own smart device along (I did). However, it was usually impossible to log on to the Internet from anywhere except the Piazza area. During our cruise, workmen were installing additional cable so that access would be improved throughout the ship. Why wasn't this done before the first launch of the ship?
- Sliding door to balcony. We had a couple of sea days with quite a bit of rolling motion. When out on the balcony, the sliding door from the cabin to the balcony would not stay shut; it kept opening and closing, banging and banging each time. We finally had to stuff a pillow on each side of it to keep it in place. This has never happened to us on any Princess cruise (and we've had a balcony on all but one of the other 16 cruises). It was extremely annoying.
We truly hope that Princess will take into account ours and others' comments about this ship, and correct some of these serious flaws before they appear again in the Regal Princess and future ships.
We will probably continue to sail with Princess, but definitely NOT on the Royal or Regal! Less
Published 11/26/13
Cabin review:
Ample closet space, larger sink than earlier ships. Balcony too small and sliding door would not stay shut when not locked. Nice entertainment system.

Project DescriptionMcCarthy/HMC Architects/Brooks + Scarpa have released their proposal for the Design Excellence/design-build competition for the new United States courthouse in Los Angeles. The contractor-led design-build team was selected to compete thru the General Services Administration two-stage Design Excellence program. The approximately 550,000-SF high-rise building located at 1st and Hill Street is designed to accommodate a future 175,000-SF federal office building. The proposed 320-foot tall structure is designed to be certified LEED Platinum and will save nearly two million gallons of water per year.
Design Concept:
Inspired by the interweaving of a grand natural arch embedded with a memory of the scales of Lady Justice who represents the allegorical personification of the moral force of our judicial systems, the proposed design symbolizes the strength, dignity and balanced fairness of the Federal Court. As the visitor approaches they will discover that the acanthus leaf pattern ornaments both the precast and the glazing, creating a connection to the iconic Corinthian columns at the entry to the U.S. Supreme Court — an interpretation in modern materials that connects to the best traditions of American justice.
The design delivers functional efficiency, security and accessibility for the Court, the U.S. Marshal Service, and the other tenants and users. The design-build team's collaborative effort resulted in a project that exceeds the GSA's sustainability and energy conservation goals with proven, durable, low-maintenance strategies to deliver a LEED Platinum courthouse.
550,000-SF High-rise Building
24 District Courtrooms
32 Chambers

Food Network Test Kitchen Taste Test: Plant-Based Watersby Leah Brickley in Taste Test, March 17, 2015
The hydration bar has been raised. With a whole host of new plant-based drinks (even ones from trees!) flooding the marketplace, it's never been more exciting to quench your thirst. We taste-tested a few of the new beverages in our test kitchen so you can pick your favorites.
Harmless Harvest: 100% Raw Coconut Water
What they say: This coconut drink is organically grown in Thailand, where the brand employs locals to do the harvesting and processing. Pressure-treated and never heated, each bottle has its own unique flavor.
Stats: 56 calories and a hefty 514 milligrams of potassium per single 8-ounce serving
What we thought: This water is what we've always wanted in a fruit-spiked product. With both floral and pleasant vegetal notes (someone mentioned toasted pumpkin seeds), the super-refreshing drink was a hit with staffers. Read more

The PDF of the FFA National Curriculum can be viewed below. Futsal is mentioned in there a few times, which is a good sign for the sport. Note the PDF is 5 Megs in size, so it may take a while to load.
Futsal in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands
How come the FFA has not released the full football report to the public? Is this because the report favours the Vikings system for futsal more than the FFA way?
5 Megs in size ? Now lets look at reducing that a little…..
Employ top national coaches….
Identify the top 1% of Australian footballers (use the general public as selectors) and send them (the players) to Europe…as we do now…….
There'ya not too difficult was it ? and I too didn't mention futsal !
Mr Weeman , you are right of course, the review isnt quite the closely guarded secret many would wish for…. at the end of the day nothing will change…believe me !

The election of two U-M faculty to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences (NAS) was announced April 30. Richard E. Nisbett, a psychologist who is co-director of the University Culture and Cognition program and a senior research scientist at the Institute for Social Research (ISR), and Rowena G. Matthews, the G. Robert Greenberg Distinguished University Professor of Biological Chemistry and senior research scientist in the Biophysics Research Division, were among 72 new members and 15 foreign associates from 12 countries elected to membership, bringing total membership in the NAS to 1,907.
NAS members are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original scientific research. Members of the NAS, a private organization of scientists and engineers, act as official advisers to the federal government on questions involving science and technology. Election to the academy is considered one of the highest honors a scientist can receive.
His cultural research has focused on cultures of honor, including the Southern and Western United States. Raised in El Paso, Texas, Nisbett notes that his intuitions told him that males from the U.S. South and West were inclined to violence in a variety of situations dealing with protection of reputation and property. His subsequent research culminated in a book co-authored with Dov Cohen, Culture of Honor: The Psychology of Violence in the South. His latest book, The Geography of Thought: Why We Think the Way We Do, is forthcoming from the Free Press.

Although her original goal was simply to learn more about the biochemistry of the MTHFR enzyme, Matthews research turned out to have important and unexpected applications to medicine and public health. Her discovery solved the mystery of how folic acid reduces the amount of a compound called homocysteine, which is associated with an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and birth defects in humans.

A Year-End Status Report on Delmarva's Chicken Industry
Georgetown, DE - Dec. 30, 2010 -- While many of the challenges of 2010 will carry over into 2011, the just ending year was a positive one in many ways for Delmarva's chicken industry. In recent months, chicken companies launched several long range projects that show their confidence in the Delmarva Peninsula as a place where they wish to do business.
Long Range Growth and Investments
In 2010, Allen Family Foods completed phase one of its expansion at its Harbeson, Delaware processing plant. The completed expansion increased weekly bird processing by 20% with another increase coming during the spring of 2011. About 70 jobs were added this year. Two hundred additional persons are expected in 2011/2012 for higher processing line speeds and deboning.
Mountaire Farms of Delmarva, Inc. announced plans in late 2010 to invest $34.5 million into a rendering and resource-recovery plant at its Millsboro, Delaware complex. The new facility will render feathers and other processing plant by-products into poultry meal and pet food. The construction is expected to create 300 jobs during the construction phase and 31 permanent Mountaire jobs once the facility is operating. This will bring Mountaire's employment in Delaware to 3,600 persons. As part of this expansion, Mountaire will be making many environmental upgrades to its Millsboro facilities.
Perdue Farms Inc.'s headquarters at Salisbury, Maryland is undergoing a $12.8 million renovation. The goal is to be more efficient and effective for the company's associates and for the environment. Additionally, Perdue AgriBusiness will build an office in Seaford, Delaware to support that division's continuing growth. This new location will replace a 40-year-old facility near the company headquarters. Approximately 150 current and future associates will be housed at the Seaford location to support the company's growth in grain, feeds, rendering, fertilizer, and bioenergy.
Tyson Foods, Inc.'s complex at Temperanceville, Virginia is seeking to expand its processing plant. The company would like an additional 125 family farm-owned chicken houses to supply the plant.
Upcoming Challenges
Record high feed ingredient prices, notably corn and soybeans, make it much more expensive to produce chickens than ever. The biggest cost in producing the birds is the cost of feeding them.
Rising energy costs add to the financial challenges for all sectors of Delmarva's chicken industry. Chicken houses depend upon propane gas and electricity to ensure optimum growing conditions to maintain the welfare of the birds. Rising motor fuel costs are affecting all industry vehicles, such as trucks needed to carry eggs, chicks, birds, finished products, and feed.
America's two largest chicken export nations, China and Russia, have bought very little chicken this year. Fortunately, sales to other nations have helped fill that void, but 2010 American exports are expected to be down compare to the previous year. Work is underway to restore export markets in China and Russia.
The poor condition of the American economy has hurt Delmarva's chicken industry as consumers are eating out less often. While retail and supermarket sales have held their own, food service sales have lagged.
Nationally, the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts that the 2010 broiler chicken production will exceed last year and the 2011 estimate is for more chicken meat than in 2010, but the rate of growth is slowing. High corn prices for 2011 coupled with relatively weak prices for broiler products are causing broiler companies to scale back plans for production increases for 2011, according to the Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook Report from USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS).
On the grower side, rising energy bills and new environmental regulations virtually have brought chicken house construction on Delmarva to a halt in contrast to other parts of the nation. The uncertainly of government expectations and the much higher costs of pending stormwater management requirements have dramatically slowed chicken house construction and that stagnation could continue in the years ahead. Long term, this inability to replace houses taken out of production due to retirements, deaths, and out-of-date facilities is a serious matter. If production does not stay the same or grow, the per bird cost of raising and processing birds on Delmarva goes up, thus making Delmarva a less cost competitive chicken growing area in America and the world.
The Importance of Delmarva's Chicken Industry
The chicken industry keeps working farms as working farms growing the corn and soybeans fed to the birds. These working farms are beneficial to our environment and provide, without charge, beautiful vistas and open spaces. Working farms also help governments keep costs down because farmland does not desire or demand increased government services like schools, libraries, roads, safety services, jails, and public water and sewer systems.

Mr. Carey handles class-action lawsuits against many different types of organizations and companies. Recently, he has litigated the Propane Exchange Tank Litigation, Hyundai/Kia MPG Litigation, and the Swift Truckers Litigation. He has served as lead counsel in cases such as the LifeLock Sales and Marketing Litigation, Hyundai Motor America's cases on sub-frame corrosion and airbag systems, and the State of Arizona's claim against McKesson Corporation for overcharging on prescription drugs.
Mr. Carey experience extends to bad-faith insurance, personal injury, medical malpractice, with several jury trials involving verdicts with as much as $75 million at stake. He has argued high-profile cases in federal and state courts across the country. In the '90s, he served as trial counsel on claims by counties for damages stemming from tobacco-related illnesses (and acted as special counsel for Hagens Berman in seeking to recover damages in the landmark tobacco litigation), and since then has led dozens of consumer and insurance class actions in various states.
From 1990 to 1996, as Chief Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Carey oversaw all major legal, policy, legislative, and political issues for the Arizona attorney general's office. There, Mr. Carey developed and spearheaded passage of Arizona's law requiring the DNA testing of all sex offenders and the law requiring that criminals pay the cost of victims' rights. He was a principal drafter of the first major overhaul of Arizona's criminal code, and drafted key parts of the federal Prisoner Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for Senators Dole and Kyl. He served as a campaign staffer, intern, and staff member for U.S. Senator John McCain, during and after Senator McCain's first run for public office. In the past, he served as a judge pro tempore in Maricopa County Superior Court, presiding over contract and tort jury trials. Recognized by the judges of the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County for outstanding contributions to the justice system, Mr. Carey enjoys teaching law and public policy courses, most recently at the ASU's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law.
Mr. Carey earned his bachelor's degree at Arizona State University, and received his MBA and law degree from the University of Denver. He also attended Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government, where he studied in the state and local government program.
