Affordable Pool Cleaning Service – Littlestown
Affordable Affordable Pool Cleaning Service – Littlestown, Pennsylvania
A swimming pool is an asset on your property. It automatically boosts the value of your home in Littlestown PA 17340. Not only this, it is a great place to exercise and a great place to have fun. The only drawback is maintenance. It takes hours to complete. Don't let the tedious task of having to clean the swimming pool make you forego the idea of including one in your house design. By hiring professional pool cleaners you can sign up for endless hours of enjoyment without the hassles of cleaning.
I think the best way to choose pool cleaners is by way of recommendations. Ask family, friends and neighbors with swimming pools on their premises for the company they personally use. Discuss service satisfaction and cost reasonability with them. This way you can zero down on a reliable and affordable pool cleaning service minus the hours of search.
Prerequisites – License, Insurance and Equipment
There are many pool cleaning companies out in the market today. But not all of them are genuine. A few buy their business licenses while others self-declared pool cleaners. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the company you are opting for has the proper licensing to take up the job. To add, their team of professionals should be well-trained on the job.
Liability insurance follows the business license. Insurance is essential should the yard to the swimming pool get damaged during the cleaning procedure. It is also necessary in case a worker gets injured while at the job.
One of the reasons for hiring a professional pool cleaning company is because you don't have the right equipment at hand to do a thorough job. What use is a company that sails in the same boat as you? You should ask what equipment and chemicals the company uses in the cleaning procedure. It is mostly a telescoping pole, vacuum hoses, vacuum heads, leaf traps, pool brushes and skimmer nets.
Do your own research
If there are no friends and relatives that can provide you with recommendations, you will have to do a personal search. In addition to the prerequisites mentioned above, you will have to look for the following.
· How much experience does the company have in the field of work? The longer they have been in business there is more reason to consider them.
· How many projects have they handled in the past? Ask if you could read up project reports of previous customers.
· You should also do a background check into the company by reading up customer testimonials. Try contacting them to ask if the company is well-trained, well-equipped and shows up on time.
The Real Task
After you've shortlisted a few companies in Adams county, here's how you should proceed. Request the pool cleaning company to give you a free estimate. Make it a point to ask the company what cleaning services are included for the cost. Most companies will give you a contract to outline the services they will provide as part of the job. Read the contract carefully before you sign the dotted line.
The cleaning service is a periodic one. Swimming pools must be cleaned at least once in a week or once every 15 days. Therefore, the frequency that is how often the company will come in to clean your pool is an important consideration to make. Sign a contract for a minimum period. You can always extend the contract after you have tried them out.
Pool Maintenance
It's important to keep a swimming pool maintained correctly. A pool is a major investment, so it should be treated as such and taken care of properly. This can be done through regular pool cleaning as well as through the use of chemicals. Also, when there is a repairable issue with your pool, it is important to get it taken care of right away with reliable repair services before it becomes more of an issue.
Chemicals can ensure that a swimming pool is clean and contains healthy water. Some of the more effective pool chemicals include chlorine, bromine, algaecides, and more. The right chemical balance in a swimming pool's water can allow the water to be free of harmful germs and chemicals that can endanger swimmers. It also helps to purchase a test kit so you're able to test the quality of your pool's water and make sure it's at a safe and healthy level.
Another crucial part of maintaining a swimming pool is to make sure it is clean. Pool cleaning can be done by anyone by simply removing dirt from the pool using a net and administering the proper chemicals into the water. It also helps to occasionally have a professional pool cleaner come out and thoroughly clean the pool, including the areas that are under water. Pool cleaning companies will also clean the areas around the pool and make sure the interior workings of the pool are working correctly and are free of dirt build-up.
Over the years, a swimming pool in Littlestown PA may wear down and need repairs. It is crucially important to repair your pool as soon as a problem is noticed so the structure of the pool is not compromised over time. Pool repairs can be expensive, but they are a necessary part of maintaining a luxurious addition to a home. There are many companies that specialize in swimming pool repair and renovation, and many of them are available through a simple internet search.
Additional Things to Consider
There are other aspects to consider when dealing with a swimming pool. These include lighting, water pumps, aesthetic design (tile and decking), diving boards, and pool accessories. Lighting, diving boards, and accessories are all optional but can greatly enhance the experience of owning a swimming pool. Finding a water pump that will last for a long time and work efficiently is essential, as a new pump can cost a few hundred dollars. Aesthetic designs can range from simple and plain to lavish and wild. It's all up to the individual pool's owner, but the possibilities are endless.
For the adventurous homeowner that has a little extra cash, a swimming pool renovation can be a major upgrade. Renovations can include extensive lavish designs, landscaping, waterfalls, flower beds, and more. Pools can be expanded, reshaped, and even moved to a new location on the property. No matter what the case may be, any extensive swimming pool renovation in Littlestown Pennsylvania is something to put in the hands of only the most trustworthy professionals. However, renovations can also be simple and easy, and may be the type of job that can be completed in one or two days.

Jenkins jumping to NFL
Published: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 1:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 2:11 p.m.
In a little bit of a surprise move, Florida junior outside linebacker Jelani Jenkins declared for the NFL Draft on Monday.
Jenkins made the decision to leave early despite missing four games with injuries this past season, and despite the fact the NFL has told him he won't be taken in the first three rounds.
"Jelani informed me that he wishes to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL," Florida coach Will Muschamp. "We wish him the best of luck and encourage him to return to Florida and complete his degree."
Jenkins is the fourth UF junior to declare for the draft, joining defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, safety Matt Elam and tight end Jordan Reed. Floyd is the only UF player projected to go in the first round or early in the second.
Junior defensive tackle Dominique Easley, who said at the Sugar Bowl he would have a decision to make concerning the NFL, has told coaches he plans to stay at UF.
The early departure of Jenkins leaves the Gators with just six scholarship linebackers on their roster — Gideon Ajagbe, Neiron Ball, Darrin Kitchens, Antonio Morrison, Jeremi Powell and Michael Taylor.
UF's probable starters for next season are Taylor at middle linebacker, Morrison at outside linebacker (where he played for the injured Jenkins in 2012) and Ball at outside linebacker.
Jenkins, a redshirt junior, started 31 games in his UF career, recording 182 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, six sacks and three interceptions. He returned a blocked punt 36 yards for a game-winning touchdown with two seconds remaining against Louisiana-Lafayette this past season.

Taste of Country Music Festival Backstage Selfies – Day 2
Backstage at the Taste of Country Music Festival, country artists like Craig Morgan and the Cadillac Three offered their own take on the selfie. The "situational selfie" features an artist responding to a specific, hypothetical scenario. Like how would Jamie Lynn Spears look if she saw a bucket of her favorite food -- pickles?


text: Always dreamed of rolling around in the hay with a naughty cowboy? Well now, with gorgeous Rio top, you're halfway there! Inspired by Hollywood starlet Jane Russell in 1940s cowboy movie The Outlaw. This cute little top is designed to be worn with jeans, shorts, or one of our sexy skirts. So easy to wear. The bust is ruched to flatter any size with a cheeky slash tied with a bow. The bodice is fitted to accentuate the waist with a discreet side zip. The delicate cap sleeve is gathered by elastic into a slight puff. Evocative of that boogie-woogie country-girl look!

Economists often seem to be living in a different world, not least when their forecasts of future recessions – or more precisely the lack of them – are examined.
Now two economists have confirmed that economists are on a quite different plane to the rest of the population, by exploring their views on policy issues facing America. Two Chicago-based finance professors, Paola Sapienza of Northwestern and Luigi Zingales of Chicago Booth, tried to identify issues on which economists generally agreed.
Only two issues garnered complete agreement: every single economist questioned (as part of a regular survey) said it was hard to predict share prices, and not one thought US healthcare was sustainable.
By contrast only a small majority of Americans (55 per cent) agree that share prices are tough to forecast, and two-thirds think US healthcare is financially sustainable.
This might just suggest that the average American hasn't paid enough attention, since shares are patently hard to forecast (not necessarily impossible, as the efficient market theory beloved of so many economists posits, but certainly very difficult). Equally, even America's politicians agree that healthcare spending at the current level is unsustainable; part of the original justification of Obamacare was to reduce costs, after all.
But the general pattern is continued on many other topics: the views of economists are furthest from the general public on those issues where the economists agree the most. Read more

APPRENTICES at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory struck gold when they were presented with awards for their achievements.
Olympic rower Mark Hunter was guest of honour at a ceremony to reward the trainees based at the Harwell site.
Liam Starrett won three titles, including the Recognition Award for helping others, in addition to completing his own apprenticeship.
He switched careers from being a self-employed carpenter, a job he held for 10 years, to follow a long ambition of becoming involved in electronics.
Mr Starrett, 29, who will stay on at Rutherford in the technology department, said: "The apprenticeship scheme has given me the opportunity to change career and I have not looked back since."
The Apprentice of the Year award went to Lauren Summers, 23, who spent her apprenticeship in Rutherford's Space division and has now secured herself a job there.
The other winners were Richard Surtell, 21, and Rob Filer, 22.
Mr Hunter, who followed up a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics with silver at London 2012, trained as an apprentice himself.
He said: "I've got a close link with apprenticeships – I did one as a kid and understand the benefits and the opportunities they give people."
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) which runs Rutherford currently has 24 apprentices with each doing a four-year course of paid training in electronic, electrical and mechanical engineering.
Between six and ten places are made available each year with 70 per cent of the apprentices still working there.

I spoke with Todd Faulk yesterday about Cathedral of Hope's newest group, F.A.C.E. He'll be heading up the HIV/AIDS support group starting tonight all because of a discussion that happened during a COH Youth group session.
"HIV came up and Beau Heyen (youth minister) and I realized that kids don't understand HIV. That discussion really shook everything up. I outed myself as being poz for 12 years to explain 'this is what happened to me.' Questions came out of that. And we encouraged kids who were sexually active to get tested and one came back positive. The church faculty felt there was a need to have a group for anybody impacted by HIV/AIDS including family members, people who have a partner with HIV or even those who are interested in learning," Faulk said.

Get the Recipe
Every morning I start the day with a mug of inky coffee. It's all the fuel I need to keep me bright-eyed and bushy-tailed throughout the day. But lately, as the afternoon settles in, I've been needing a second cup. It's a suitable prescription for the energy lull, but isn't a little something sweet an even better antidote? I love quick breads; they were among the first baked goods I started making as a kid. Today, I continue to make them. I like how quickly and simply they come together and how lovely they are for breakfast or an afternoon snack.
This recipe is an adaptation of Marcella Hazan's olive oil cake from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking. It originated in the Trattoria Dalla Rosa in San Giorgio, Italy, a family heirloom that has been in the Dalla Rosa family for generations. The cake leans toward the savory side, flavored with rich and spicy olive oil and dry Marsala wine. The list of ingredients is brief but bountiful in flavor. I've added finely chopped pistachios and orange zest to this already wonderful cake for a personal touch.

PASADENA, Texas - A mother of seven was found beaten to death under a bridge in Pasadena, and her husband said he blames himself for a decision that he made on New Year's Eve.
Edlyn Villegas Munoz, 36, had drinks with her husband, Camio Zermeno, at Show Palace in the 1400 block of Spencer Highway. Zermeno works as a maintenance man at the strip club.
Zermeno said he had Munoz got into an argument.
"We were there together and she didn't want to leave with me," Zermeno said. "I left her there with her friends."
Zermeno said he headed home, thinking his wife was safe.
"She's always been a very strong-tempered, independent, does what she needs to do kind of woman," he said. "I guess she decided to walk home."
Munoz never made it home. Her body was found under the Vince Bayou Bridge on Queens and South Shaver, about a mile from the strip club, about 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
Pasadena police said Munoz was naked and had been beaten.
"I blame myself. I shouldn't have left," he said.
Munoz had seven children ages 2 to 17. She recently finished her last exam to become a real estate agent.
Anyone with information about Munoz's death is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

There's only one thing I want more than having my music collection "in the cloud" and that's for Apple to allow us to Tag songs in iTunes. Why are we stuck choosing just one Genre? If I have a DJ Set I want to tag it "DJ Set" "techno" "gym" "Dave Clarke". As of now all I can do is pick Genre -> Electronic Music.
This post is actually a question to all of you guys… am I missing something? Is there a way you are labeling your iTunes stuff that would help me? I do realize that if I have all the meta data filled out that I can find what I am looking for but my library is so large I forget things are there entirely. So if I don't know I'm looking for Dave Clarke but I want a nice mix to play at the gym with Tags at least it would pop up.
Any ideas?

There have been countless attempts to solve the brutal murders committed by Jack the Ripper more than 100 years ago. It seems that almost everyone has their own theory and their own suspect, ranging from the reasonably likely to the entirely preposterous. What this most famous of British criminal cases has always required is a professional eye to analyse it with all the benefits of modern investigate techniques.
Now that has been provided in the shape of the man most qualified to solve the case: former British murder-squad detective Trevor Marriott. His long and arduous investigation dispels the rumours, fantasies, and urban legends that have for so long stalked through the shadowy world of this vile killer. The results are startling: for many years it has been accepted that Jack the Ripper killed only five. But now, it can be revealed that up to nine were victims.
And, most astonishing of all, a new prime suspect never previously considered has emerged, with evidence linking him not only to the Whitechapel cases, but to murders all over the world. Jack the Ripper: the 21st Century Investigations reveals the Ripper's true identity at last, and the fate that befell him.
©2007 John Blake Publishing (P)2012 Prospero Media
I have to admit that I'm a total Audible junkie. MUST have book going at all times. I may be the subject of a family intervention someday.
"A must for the Ripper-obsessed"
Probably not. The details are pretty gruesome, so once is enough.
Patricia Cornwell's "Jack the Ripper: Case Closed"
The author identifies a suspect I'd never heard of before, and makes a compelling case for his theory.
Let's be clear - the author writes exactly like the former Scotland Yard investigator that he is. The book reads like a precisely written, scrupulously detailed, professionally objective crime scene report. Mariott lays the groundwork for his theory methodically, never mind if it requires that he repeat himself or that he covers familiar ground. In other words,don't expect early Patricia Cornwell. Likewise, Norman Gilligan reads the book with all the passion and drama of a courtroom stenographer.

BUT - as the actual eyewitness testimonies given at the coroner's inquests were read, I slowly became mesmerized. This was real, not the Sherlock Holmes version seen through the lens of a novelist's imagination.

So if you're fascinated by this most dreadful series of crimes as I am, pick this one up and stay with it. Marriott offers the most plausible solution to this 150 year old mystery that I've heard yet, and makes his argument extremely well. I believe him.
"An excellent reference"
This is a fascinating look at the investigations into the ripper killings. The daily lives of the victims is vividly illustrated by the testimony of the people who knew them personally as well as the police and examiners who worked the case. The actual facts of this case are more compelling than any fictional account. These accounts serve to underscore the absolutely brutal and soulless nature of the killer.
This book has received some negative reviews on amazon.com. One of the main complaints is that this is a rehash of other books. A good deal of this book does come from verbatim testimony taken during the investigations. This is necessary detail for a serious investigation that adds to the credibility of the work.
The author, Trevor Marriott; a retired police investigator, does raise some very worthwhile points and challenges some long accepted points in the case.
- The Goulston Street graffito; the famous "The Juews..." message, long assumed to be the work of the killer, may have and may not have had anything to do with the killings.
- While not new, Marriott explores killings beyond the canonical five victims that may have been the work of Jack the Ripper.
- Many more...
Fantasy and Romance Author
"Plodding account of an interesting subject"
Wow, this book sure could have used a book doctor or decent editor to improve the pacing and structure. It actually presents an interesting and plausible theory as to Jack the Ripper's identity, but feels plodding and padded, probably because a lot of extraneous material was included to expand what should have been an article-length work into a book.
Marriott pads the first 9-10 chapters with exhaustive excerpts from the original coroners' inquests, then spends the next 16 chapters examining existing suspects and theories (and dismissing the work of others because of lack of evidence...ironic, because Marriott's own pet theory relies just as heavily on speculation and circumstantial "if blah-blah-blah, then suspect COULD HAVE..." types of statements), as well as describing his own failed lines of investigation.
Just when I thought this audiobook would never end, we got an extra-long Chapter 28 with a very interesting and plausible (albeit unprovable) assertion as to the identity of Jack the Ripper, and how the Whitechapter murders can be linked to similar killings in Germany and the US.
Never thought to find a book about Jack the Ripper boring, but here you have it. Not recommended for anyone but hard-core Ripperologists.
"Poorly Written and Poorly Narrated"
The narrator of this book sounds like an automaton, though the book is poorly written to begin with so it's not like he had a lot to work with. Every other sentence starts with the word "however". Its use is gratingly repetitive. The author of this book seems to think too highly of his theories and his investigational inquiries. I didn't mind the lengthy section of coroners' notes and witness testimony. Truth be told that was the most interesting part. The last few chapters absolutely reek of pomposity and self aggrandizement. He makes passive aggressive remarks about other published Ripperologists and then has the chutzpah to declare that he, and he alone, has found out the true identity
of Jack the Ripper.

"Wonderfully detailed..."
analysis of the "Whitechapel Murders." The two reviewers that complain that the book is "dull" and "repetitive" clearly do not understand that this book is not a cheap pot-boiler meant solely to thrill and chill but rather a thorough attempt to go back and research crimes committed during a time when "forensics" did not even include finger-printing, let alone DNA analysis, and try to systematically put together the pieces in a way that might reveal the truth. So...is this a book for the critically and historically minded?--yes. A book for those seeking gratuitous guts and gore and the vicarious thrill of gothic blood-letting?--no. Unfortunately, there are plenty of other places the latter can turn and not nearly enough for the former. So those of us in the former category are grateful for Marriott's "Ripper."

"I'm Convinced"
I liked the exhaustive archival detective work, and the very clear way in which the evidence was put forward.
Yes, the writing is fairly dry. Gilligan brings personality and emotion to the material.
I was on the edge of my seat toward the end.
I am convinced that Marriott is correct and has, after more than a century, solved the mystery.

"I Wanted to Like This but..."
Not really. As a reference book, I think this would be helpful with all the detail, but I found that that did not translate well into a recorded book. So much of the first volume sounded like a reading of the transcript of the coroner's inquest. I found this to be pretty slow and not engaging. Also, the narration was done with little inflection and something approaching a monotone.
Summarize more of the records that were read, presumably, in their entirety.
This recorded book might work well for a researcher but I did not enjoy it.
"for me, solved case closed"
I have read a lot on this subject and I can't help but feel it has finally been solved, logical and complete investigation, the narration was excellent.

"Very disappointing"
Author vainly claims to have solved the ripper cases by positing an implausible candidate with a dissimilar modus operandi by positing a combination of 'if's and 'could have's without doing the real work he claims to be doing as an investigator. The narrator was stilted and pompous sounding, not competent.
"A compelling and detailed study of the Ripper case"
Yes, but I would probably give it a year or so in between. It is definitely one for people who regularly take a long plane trip or bus ride.
Probably the author himself, his experience and insights as a former detective were always present in the background. It's as much a story of his determined quest for the truth as it is about the ripper and his victims. I also found some of the Victorian witnesses and suspects to be absolutely fascinating.
It was extremely clear and measured. When dealing with such detailed information, his delivery made it easier to follow. My only criticism would be that with somewhat dry material he didn't do much to liven it up. Otherwise excellent. His pronunciation was perfect and he made no errors at all as far as I could tell.
No. It is clearly marked out into chapters in different sections, including a detailed chapter on each victim in turn. I would say you wouldn't want to listen to more than one section at a time. One thing I have to warn listeners about is that this is a thorough investigation done by a police professional, and much of the early chapters of the book are word for word transcripts from the witness depositions. There is a lot of repetition of certain witness testimonies, and multiple perspectives on identical incidents. This has the advantage of providing the listener with every minute detail of the case, but it can be a little tedious to listen to if you aren't into that sort of thing. This isn't one of those sensationalist ripper true crime junk novels. For much of the book I had the impression of being a juror in a murder trial, wading through a lot of facts and witness statements. Be prepared! Personally I enjoy that sort of thing, I'd rather have the plain facts than be pandered to.

The first part of the book deals exhaustively with the background of the ripper murders, goes into each victim, describes every single detail- where the bodies were found, the sequence of events etc. We hear statements from police and witnesses directly as transcribed. By the end of this we are as familiar with the murders, crime scenes, witnesses and victims as it is possible to be.
Now for hard core ripper enthusiasts, a lot of this might be very familiar territory, and as I already said it necessarily involves a lot of repetition.
The next section deals with the suspects and ripper letters. Each one is dealt with thoroughly and it is clearly shown why they must be discounted.
Finally, we follow the author's investigations into the real killer. Some people may be disappointed that so much of the book is dedicated to giving the background of the murders and suspects, rather than going straight into the new information, however I feel it was actually necessary to meticulously build a case first.
After listening to this book, I am convinced that Trevor Marriott is correct, I believe he has solved the mystery once and for all. It might not be conclusive enough for some, and not sensationalized enough for others, but from the point of view of an academic investigation the circumstantial evidence is compelling and plausible.
I highly recommend this book to everyone; especially those unfamiliar with the details of the ripper case. I believe it is the most comprehensive and methodical book to deal with this subject. It must be kept in mind that this has been written by a former detective who applied modern investigative methods to the evidence, and therefore some people may find it a little dry. The genius of Mr Marriott is not his ability to spin a great yarn, it's precisely the opposite: the stripping away of the hype and myth surrounding the case until the truth stands out. Having said that, it is certainly a fascinating story. I think by including so many details, it gave me a snapshot of Victorian life and attitudes that are usually glossed over in books of this type. For example, the notion that a photograph of one of the victims might show a lingering impression or reflection of the killer in her eyes was treated quite seriously by the court and the physicians!
I would recommend this book as a comprehensive analysis of the ripper murders, as a fascinating snapshot of Victorian society, and as a compelling argument for the identity of the killer, as long as you are prepared to cover some familiar ground, and to realize this isn't a crime thriller. Mr Marriott comes across as an unassuming gentleman, and the book gets off to a slow start, but don't underestimate his power to build a watertight case; his conclusions will stay with you long after the final chapter.
"Dire reader..."
This started badly.. with chapters simply reading out the verbatim proceedings of the Coroner's court.
Coroner: Did you see the body?
Witness: Yes.
Coroner: Did you see anyone else?
Witness: I did not
etc etc...

It would have been far better to write a summary! Presented this way, it was terribly boring.
A potentially interesting narrative .. ruined by a reader.. who sounds like a child trying to read out loud.

Wooden.Awful!
Look elsewhere.

"Incredible product at bargain basement prices! The team loved these spandex!" (E33033)
"great product." (E4520)
" This is a great backpack for soccer players. It is really well designed. It has plenty of compartments, zippers, velcro and pockets for everything I need when going to play or train. I usually ride my bicycle or motorcycle to play, this backpack is perfect for that.
It's especially nice how it has compartments for the ball and cleats so they don't get dirt and grass over everything else after a game. The material is a little thin but for the price you can't beat it.
I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it. I think I might even order another one as a backup. " (E12416)

The Nikon 28mm f/1.4 lens is a piece of glass I have obsessed over for many, many years. I still do not own one; however for my travels to Germany this past June, I did have the opportunity to rent one. My conclusions (both positive and negative) on this legendary, expensive, and remarkable pieces of glass are outlined in this article along with sample photos to demonstrate the lens' virtues.

A:PRBAMSNHN - Horizontal Natural 5/8" x 3 1/4" x 6 LFT Bamboo Stair Nose Prefinished.
Q:What do you use to install the bullnose? We installed a bamboo click floor last weekend that looks great, but were not able to get the nailgun to press nails through the bullnose. Should we pre-drill and then use the nail gun, or use screws? If using screws how do you cover the holes?
1 answer
A:We recommend using 100% urethane adhesive to to secure the noising directly to the sub floor. Then pre-drill nail holes using a 3/32" drill bit, use 1-1/2" 6d finish nails set nails with nail punch and fill nail holes with color putty that matches the stair nosing.
Q:I have an 8 ft wide step. what is the best way to make the seem to achieve this width?
1 answer

Q:what is the measurement to the under cut on the bottom of the board ?? thanks I need to start the floor before the home owner returns with this bull nose.
1 answer
A:The dimension that will rest on the subfloor measures 2.299 inches I always recommend to err on the side of caution when you don't have the actual trim piece on site so the flooring should stop about 2-3/16" away from riser edge.
Q:My stair tread is 10" wide by 39" long
1 answer
A:For each step figure 2.25 SF. If you are doing the risers also- add 2 SF.

Topic: Introduction
Hi all
My name is Shelby and my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 bile duct cancer in September. She has been through hell the last six months trying to figure out what was causing her liver enzymes to be so high. She has had numerous procedures to unblock her bile ducts. She currently has 3 drains and they have removed the bags to see if the bile will drain on its own. The cancer is intrahepatic and is in two lymphnodes in the liver. She is not a candidate for surgery at this time. Her oncologist will be checking her bilirubin levels on Monday and if they are low enough she will be able to start chemo next week. She and my dad moved from Florida to Baltimore to live with me and so she could go to Johns Hopkins Hospital.
I am so excited that I found all of you. The support is what we need right now. Also I am excited to read all of your stories and learn new information that may help my mom further in extending her life as much as possible. She is a fighter and so far shows no signs of giving up.
Thanks in advance for letting me share.

text: But, all of those teams have performed at or around the level the Cowboys have performed at. We're playing each of them, too, here at the end of the season, so I guess we'll get to see first-hand how the teams all stack up. There have been dozens of 'what do you like about Jason Garrett' threads. I've replied in detail in a couple of them, and the results are mostly ignored, honestly. I'll say this, though, about evaluating coaching. There are some pretty good coaches in the NFCE right now, and since the teams all play similar schedules, it makes for a pretty good comparison of the four teams. Are you looking at the Giants, Eagles, or Redskins and thinking any of those rosters are significantly worse than our own right now? Or looking at any of those teams and thinking they've achieved more than we have largely because of a coaching advantage? If there were a team in the NFCE with similar roster quality and who was running away with the division, I'd be more inclined to agree that the difference was the coaching. As it is, I think the rosters are all pretty comparable, and we're doing about as well as anybody for what has turned out to be a fairly difficult schedule. What am I not seeing that's convinced so many that the problem is, instead, our head coach, and that he's actually one of the worst in the league?

Did you know that the episodes of the FindMyPast tv programmes are available online? I didn't so I am assuming that some of you also had missed out on this news. The programmes are airing in the UK at the moment, but of course that is no good if you don't live there or if you have missed an episode.
FindMyPast.co.uk will post on their website a link to each episode one week after it has aired. To view you need to register with FindMyPast and you have 30 days in which to watch the episode before it disappears. However if you are a subscriber to FindMyPast.co.uk then you can watch the episodes from series one and two for an unlimited time.
I watched the Jack the Ripper episode yesterday and whilst it wasn't big on the genealogy process or the how to it was entertaining and I enjoyed it. I'll certainly be working my way through the other episodes.

Johan Santana is scheduled to throw off the mound Tuesday in Port St. Lucie where he will be attending the Mets' three-day mini-camp.
"I'm feeling good. Time will tell, but I am feeling good," he told The Associated Press on Monday. "We did a pretty good job with the offseason, working out and doing all the rehab, and I'm feeling good. Everything is on schedule."
Santana had surgery at the end of last season to remove some bone chips from his pitching elbow.
Oliver Perez, who is recovering from scar tissue in his knee last season, also said he's feeling good.
"Right now I don't feel anything," he said. "I think that's why I'm really happy."
If both Santana and Perez come back and stay healthy, that will make the Mets management very happy.

There was a big lizard wriggling up the long, bare leg of an unsuspecting short-dressed damsel at Tuesday's carnival-like Melbourne Cup Race Day meeting at Canberra's Thoroughbred Park.
This reporter was about to leap forward and gallantly pluck the reptile off her when it dawned, just in time, that it was only a lizard tattoo and so, thank goodness, wasn't going to climb higher.
And it was one of the many revelations at the teeming occasion, dominated by spectacular feats of fashion among the women, that the young women of Australia are very tattooed now. The day's sometimes blush-making outfits revealed a great deal of skin and a lot of that skin turned out be attractively tattooed. The damsel I almost embarrassed myself with (for she might not have accepted my explanation for having my hands on her leg!) was the only one decorated with a lizard, but there were lots of butterflies, flowers and stars. One woman boasted a calf that Kevin Rudd (fluent in Mandarin) would even have been able to read, because it carried a message in Chinese characters.
While almost all the women at Thoroughbred Park were being as fashionable as possible, Stacey Bennett, of Latham, was doing the very opposite. At a Cancer Support Group marquee a little apart from the madding throng she was having her head shaved totally bald. A colleague was harvesting her lost hair in a plastic shopping bag.
''Stacey, what are you doing?'' this columnist probed.
''Well right at this moment I'm freaking out!'' she laughed.
''Last September I lost my Nan to cancer. The Cancer Support Group were a great help to our family and to my Nan and so we decided to shave our heads to raise money for them. We've got sponsors. We decided to do it here today because my Nan loved the races. She loved the horses and she owned race horses.''
Elsewhere, though, the women at Thoroughbred Park were pursuing glamour. Have high heels ever been higher than they are today? Lots of the women teetered in shoes that made them excitingly tall as if all of Australian womanhood is basketballer material now. And the shoes! In women's footwear, fluorescent green and fluorescent tangerine (often with matching handbags and necklaces) are enjoying a heyday.
The damsels made their menfolk look exceedingly drab, with the dramatic exception of Andreas Preiner, of O'Malley, an outstanding entrant in the male section of the day's Fashion of the Field contest. His black and white ensemble made from some very hide-like material made him look from a distance like a very well-dressed Friesian cow walking on its hind legs.
It would have been perfect to have been at Flemington instead but one of the beauties of being at Thoroughbred Park is that you can get very, very close to the rail. There, watching the races, with the turf beneath you thrumming with the hoofbeats, you got a sense of what monsters big horses are and what a thunderingly wild and scary and stampeding thing a horse race is. We know that it takes manly pluck to be a top boxer, footballer and ice hockeyist but do we ever stop to think how brave one must be to be a jockey?
Stepping out of the fast and glamorous lanes of the occasion and visiting the saddling enclosure we found the comely little horse Girls On The Avenue waiting, with her minder, for her turn in the fifth race. Another minder arrived leading Daryl who, right in front of the box of Girls On The Avenue relieved himself in the most spectacular, dung-sprinkling way.
Back in the throng, and as the afternoon wore on, queues for the bars and ATMs became prodigiously long. Fermented and spirituous beverages began to exert their disinhibiting magic and one young goddess, towering high above me on her skyscraper heels and noting my Media pass demanded she be interviewed because, ''I'm Kim Kardashian!''
Tall as this Ms Kardashian was she was dwarfed by two hard-working entertainers on tall stilts, dressed as exotic birds, and moving among the crowd shrilling down to the girls about how gorgeous they, the girls, were looking. ''We are,'' one of them shrilled down to me, ''the long-lashed, plume-bottomed 'Birds of Paradise' from The Fool Company. And I love your shirt (I was wearing my most vivid Hawaiian shirt so as to not to be a drab thing on this carnival occasion). It's delectable!''
It is a great consolation on a day when you figuratively lose your shirt at the races to have your actual shirt praised by plume-bottomed connoisseurs of costume.

I already posted my top wide receivers…now a look at HP's top tight ends for 2010.
1. Kyle Rudolph, Notre Dame–Big, rangy and fluid with WR skills. Future first-round pick if he stays healthy. He should flourish in Brian Kelly's offense. The Mackey Award front runner.
2. Weslye Saunders, South Carolina–An amazing specimen, his size and quick feet just jump out at you. Another likely first-round pick for the Gamecocks. With a better quarterback, he'd be a household name.
3. Orson Charles, Georgia–A hybrid type, almost a big receiver. He was impressive as a true frosh and I expect him to blossom this year. He can really stretch the field with his speed.
4. Joe Halahuni, Oregon State–A scrappy H-back with high football intelligence, he is a great fit for Mike Riley's offense. He presents a real matchup problem for linebackers.
5. D.J. Williams, Arkansas–Williams doesn't have ideal size, but he's perfect for Bobby Petrino's system. He's an excellent runner after the catch and has soft hands.
6. Lance Kendricks, Wisconsin–Another in a long line of elite–though undersized–Badger tight ends. Athletic enough to chip in 106 rushing yards, too.
7. George Bryan, NC State–Few tight ends toil in as much obscurity, but Bryan went out and caught 40 balls last year and scored six touchdowns to earn first-team All-ACC honors.
8. Anthony Miller, California–A reliable target with good athleticism, Miller is primed for a breakout year after snaring 26 passes as a sophomore.
9. Willie Jefferson, Baylor–This is easily the biggest projection on this list, but I like the potential that the 6-6 Jefferson–a former basketball player–showed last year. With Robert Griffin back from injury to jumpstart the passing game, Jefferson could make a huge impact for the Bears.
10. Ben Guidugli, Cincinnati–I don't see the Bearcats missing a beat offensively. Guidugli is a prime weapon in Cincy's attack and he should have a huge season.
Others to watch: Jordan Reed, Florida; Zach Pianalto, North Carolina; DC Jefferson, Rutgers; Kendrick Moeai, Utah; Kavario Middleton, Washington; Jeffrey Anderson, UABPowered by Sidelines

Aude de Thuin, founder of the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society, has stepped back from management of the forum and sold her shares to Publicis.
That's a bigger step than it sounds. Publicis has had majority control of the Forum's parent company since 2009, but I can testify, having met de Thuin and attended the first few annual conferences in Deauville (the FT used to be one of its media partners), that she was the heart of the event.

Still in Chicago as I look forward to the U.S. Apple Association's annual outlook and marketing conference this afternoon.
Most people I've visited with don't think that the new leader of the group (Nancy Foster is leaving U.S. Apple at the end of the month) will be unveiled at the Aug. 22-23 event. But we could be surprised.
The Packer's Midwest Produce Expo was a well-received event by the exhibitors I spoke with. Many were happy with the one-day expo. Perhaps some of the popularity of regional shows like the Midwest Produce Expo is that there is no second or third day on the expo floor when traffic slows down and time stands still.
With lunch provided on the floor and happy hour at the end of the day, folks had no reason to wander off.
One interesting part of the presentation on social media by Bradley Fitzhenry in his keynote address spoke to the need to have a viable social media following in order to partner with larger retailers such as Wal-Mart on joint social media promotions.
Among other points, Fitzhenry said that without a viable presence on social media platforms, a produce marketing company's value as a vendor will be compromised.
Old timers may cling to the belief that the industry is still all about relationships, customer service and quality of product. But is this concept of a "viable social media presence" and other newfangled ways of buying and selling produce really beginning to steal away the importance of "relationships" in the industry? Or is the deed already done?
Weigh in on the questions at The Packer Market.
Do you think having a "viable" social media presence is necessary to work hand in hand with supermarkets like Wal-Mart in joint social media/Facebook promotions?
Do you think having such a capability is in your favor when it comes to purchasing decisions of supermarket chains?

I've got the girl positive music blaring, and it is now time to let off a little steam. When it comes to misogynistic men, I generally consider them a lost cause. I have seen rabid dogs that I would rather converse with. Of course they will claim that they only really want equality, however in actuality what they want is to hold on to their power. This is not surprising, as no group in history has willingly given up their power without a struggle. My goal is to attack them at their root. Just like most things in this world, women form the support network for these angry, inane twits. They point to their colluders and stepford wives as evidence that they don't really hate women. Look, I can say cunt, and my deluded, Stockholm syndrome girlfriend is fine with it. It's just a word. See you are just a whiny feminist. See how grateful she is to be in the presence of my handsome dick. Now watch me puff out my chest, and pluck the one hair I have growing, that is a testament to my masculine power…Unga bunga babe.
If you want to knock these idiots off of their pedestals, who we need to go after are the colluders. These twisted freaks are so used to gender performativity that if they were forced to do the support work that women traditionally perform they would be lost. The world would be so much better off, if they would just stick to their ritualistic circle jerks, and allow the rest of the rationale people to get on with it.
These stepford wives not only perform the maintenance work that is necessary for the support of the informal and formal economy, they parrot the discourse of their oppressors. Just like the house slaves, of the antebellum south they wrongly identify with their masters. Guess what, no matter how many times you bend, kneel and pray you will not grow a dick. Sure it can do neat tricks but so can a vibrator, and you never have to tell it to move to the right.
Having a woman centered agenda does not mean that you have to hate men, and it does not mean that you have to turn your back on them. A man can be your friend, son, partner,your favorite fuck stick for all I care, but making women a priority means that men no longer get to run the show. Making women a priority says I care about things like rape, domestic abuse, employment equity, poverty, family and education. Do the aforementioned matter to some men…yes, but for the majority of men they do not have the same totalizing effect as they do on women.
From the moment your mother handed you your first little purse, and told you that good girls cross their legs, you have been trained to believe that 'woman' constitutes one thing, subservient to the will of men. You don't need to be a sinner or a saint, but you do need to decolonize your mind. Ask yourself who benefits largely from your labor, and dedication. Why is it that women are sluts or whores, and men just spread their wild oats? How come a man is a king of his castle, and a woman is only a goddess when she is on her knees? Why are your genitals considered foul, and a mans are a symbol of strength? (though a swift kick would disprove that)
I'm going to let you in on a little known secret, women matter. Despite the hegemonic role that men play globally, the labor of women is necessary to keep this little blue planet from going completely off kilter. I know that everywhere you turn women are minimized and reduced to accessories, but we are the foundation of all that matters. It is on our shoulders that civilizations have risen and fallen, and it is from our wombs that life continues to be nurtured. It is only on the urging of the feminist movement that men have increased the time that they dedicate to child rearing. Now they scream about equal access, so quickly forgetting that there was a time when the average father didn't even know how to change a diaper, or boil a pot of water. But that was the manly way…hunt, and then abdicate domestic responsibilities. I know that you have been raised to value the hunk of raw meat that was provided, but remember that slab of meat remained inedible until it was cooked by a woman.
It is comforting to fall back on traditional belief patterns because it is easier than fighting the status quo, and not all of those that enter battle return unscathed. When, strolling down the aisles at Zehrs so anesthetized that you don't know whether or not you are choking from the bile of dissent rising in your throat, or the anger from being unable to undo the life long straight jack you were fitted with, just for having the supposed misfortune of being born with a vagina, remember you have an image to maintain. Good girls don't resist, good girls are wives and mothers without an identity of their own. Don't get angry at the injustice because then you will be nothing but a dirty feminist.
Swallow those salty tears as rape apologists tell you that all women ask for it anyway. Turn your back when a husband slaps his wife around for the thousandth time, and the police just walk away. Bury your pride because if you end up a single mother when your hunky hero trades you in for a younger model, that trait will do you no good when you apply for food stamps. Finally make sure that you don't miss your pole dancing lessons because you know that it is your responsibility to remain sexy and in shape, while he diligently works to increase his second chin. Most of all don't listen to that insistent voice in your head that keeps saying, is that it, did I take a wrong turn somewhere? Life is not somewhere over the rainbow. Wake up! Considering the alternative, being a dirty feminist might not be so bad.

John Travolta makes emergency landing
John Travolta made an emergency landing in his private Boeing 707 after it experienced engine problems. He was flying by himself from Germany to New York after a TV appearance when he had to make an emergecny landing at Shannon Airport in Ireland. A source says:
"If he hadn't made it to Shannon, it could have been the end of him. You could tell that he was very relieved."
In case you're curious, his Boeing 707 has three dining rooms and seats 179 people. So, yeah, it's a good thing he took it out to fly all by himself. Can you imagine if he was seen flying a reasonably sized personal jet? Man, that would've been so embarrassing.

Jones School Leadership
receives award to honor lifetime service Stephen A. Zeff, the Herbert S. Autrey Professor of Accounting, is the first recipient of the prestigious Anthony G. Hopwood Award for Academic Leadership, to honor his lifetime service to the European Accounting Association (EAA). He was given the award on May 12-15 2009 in Tampere, Finland, at the opening session of the 32nd EAA Annual Congress, a major conference that was attended by 1,100 congress delegates from more than 50 countries. The Hopwood Award is not given every year, but only when the EAA's leaders believe that a worthy recipient is in view. It was named after the founder of the EAA, which is now the second largest organization of accounting academics in the world, with about 1,500 members. Dr. Zeff joined the faculty in 1978. He has been editor of The Accounting Review and president of the American Accounting. Since one year after the founding of the EAA in 1977, Dr. Zeff has been actively involved with the organization. He served as a faculty member of the EAA's Doctoral Colloquium for 15 years (1985-2000) and has served on EAA's Executive Committee, now called the Board, from 1981 to 2009. Additionally, Dr. Zeff has been on the editorial board of the EAA's two research journals, The European Accounting Review and Accounting in Europe, since their founding in 1991 and 2003, respectively.

Some fun with polaroids by Andy Bloxham.
Photos by Nina Hartmann!
A ton of awesome work has been submitted to both Booooooom Projects so far, so if you haven't already browsed the Project Galleries, you're really missing out. Kalli sent me a couple gorgeous photos last week for Booooooom Project #2 and I quickly emailed her back to see if she had any more I could see. She actually went to the trouble of scanning in a ton of her polaroids and even signed up at Flickr just to share them with me.
So here's some more incentive to get involved in the projects – from time to time I will feature work, submitted to the projects, on the main page. Here's a quick look at some great polaroid photography by Kalli Anne.

Rizzo belts 18th homer as Cubs drop opener
Jackson enjoys dominant stretch, but allows four runs in six frames
CINCINNATI -- Edwin Jackson retired 13 in a row Monday, and then it seemed as if the Cubs starter couldn't get anyone out.
Jay Bruce belted a two-run homer with two outs in the seventh and Billy Hamilton added a bases-clearing triple in the eighth to lift the Reds to a 9-3 victory over Jackson and the Cubs, who continue to struggle against National League Central opponents.
Anthony Rizzo, a Final Vote candidate for the All-Star Game, smacked a two-run home run in the seventh, his 18th, which leads all NL first basemen. But it wasn't enough, as the Cubs dropped to 15-25 against Central teams this year.
"Whatever happens this week is on the fans," Rizzo said of the Final Vote balloting. "Our team winning will get us in the highlights more. It's nice to get that knock."
Jackson's Jekyll-and-Hyde outing resulted in his ninth loss, and he is one away from matching his loss total in the first half last season (10). The right-hander finished 2013 with the most losses (18) in the NL.
"I feel good -- it's been a matter of one inning," Jackson said.
The Cubs had the leadoff man on in three of the first four innings, but couldn't score, and stranded nine in the game.
"For me, the story line is we had some opportunities to score runs today and [Jackson] gave us a chance," manager Rick Renteria said. "We did have runners in scoring position and left a lot of guys out there. In the last couple days, we just haven't had the timely hitting that we've been having in the past."
Jackson walked Hamilton on four pitches in the Reds' first, and he eventually scored on Brandon Phillips' sacrifice fly.
"We've always had the sense that once he gets through the first, he settles down," Renteria said.
The Cubs answered in the fifth. Chris Coghlan singled with two outs, reached third on Justin Ruggiano's single before scoring on an error by Bruce, who was making his first career start at first base. Bruce couldn't get a glove on Rizzo's grounder down the line.
Jackson ignored a 21-minute rain delay in the middle of the third and retired 13 in a row, beginning with Phillips' fly ball in the first. The Cubs starter did not give up a hit until Skip Schumaker doubled with one out in the fifth, and then the game changed. Ramon Santiago singled, and one out later, Hamilton singled to right to score Schumaker. Todd Frazier added an RBI single for a 3-1 lead. It's part of a bad trend as teams are batting .326 against Jackson with runners in scoring position and two outs.
"It's just a matter of making a pitch with two outs," Jackson said. "A double, next guy gets a single, get a bunt out, get a big strikeout and you're a pitch away from being out of that inning and [Hamilton] hit a pitch that was down and put it in play."
Said Hamilton, who finished with a career-high four RBIs: "It's funny. I usually don't drive runs in that well. My whole career in the Minor Leagues, that's a situation I really pressed at -- guys in scoring position. I was trying to do too much. I didn't do too well. Now I'm letting it come to me. ... I'm taking the same at-bat like there is nobody on."
Despite the loss, Renteria was encouraged by Jackson's outing.
"He gives us a chance," Renteria said of the right-hander. "Every time he goes out there, I feel good that he's going to keep the game within reach and today we had some [scoring] opportunities."
After Devin Mesoraco added an RBI double with none out in the Cincinnati sixth, Rizzo connected with two outs in the seventh, driving in Coghlan, who had doubled for his fourth hit of the game. But Bruce countered with his homer off James Russell that drove in Phillips, who had walked with two outs.

Rare Snapoker HandsProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
The card game Snapoker is a very complex game for four players, requiring the use of two decks of cards with all odd spades, even hearts, prime diamonds (including aces) and non-prime clubs (including aces) removed. Note that jacks are 11, queens are 12, and kings are 13. Two jokers are added to the deck and are each worth 15. The cards are dealt among the four players. A hand starts when the dealer shouts, "Let's Snapoker!" Following a frenetic minute of randomly throwing all cards onto the table, at the dealer's call of, "Heeeeeeere, piggy, piggy, piggy!" players are required to grab as many cards as they can. Once all cards have been grabbed, the total value of the cards in each player's hand is added up. Points (4, 3, 2 and 1) are awarded to players on each hand, with the highest card total receiving maximum points. In the event of a tie, the player who can drink a glass of milk through their nose the quickest will receive the greater points. A running score is kept throughout the game. The game is over when someone reaches a total of 518 points or when a fight breaks out, which is a common occurrence.
The other day I was playing Snapoker with three of the quickest-handed people I have ever known. In any hand I was lucky if I was able to grab three cards, while they grabbed the rest. On one hand I was able to grab four cards and, to my surprise, they were all the same number and same colour. What were the four cards I grabbed and what is the chance of obtaining such a four-card hand in Snapoker?
AnswerMy hand could have been either four black 2's or four red 9's. All other numbers in a Snapoker deck have two black and two red cards, except for the two aces, which are both red, and the two jokers.
Now for the probability. In the case of black 2's, the odds of the first card being a black 2 would be 4/52. Given that, the odds of drawing another 2 would be 3/51 (then 2/50, then 1/49). Thus the probability of obtaining four black 2's is (4*3*2*1)/(52*51*50*49) which equates to a chance of 1 in 270,725. This probability then needs to be multiplied by 2 as four red 9's are also a possibility. Therefore, the probability of grabbing a four-card hand with the same number and colour is 2 in 270,725.

Historic Day in the USA ... one way or the other

Tommye McClure Scanlin ~ artist and teacher ~ tapestry and other things ~ Dahlonega, GA, USA
I am an artist who observes and responds to my surroundings for inspiration. My primary artistic medium is handwoven tapestry, an ancient method of working with fibers to create images. As I seek images and ideas to interpret into tapestry I experience my surroundings a closely as I can. Photographs, sketches, paintings, and writings all are part of the research I put into my work.
I have been living in the southern Appalachians most of my life and so my surroundings are filled with natural forms of woods, streams, and fields. My eyes are frequently drawn to the myriad details of the landscape and many of my tapestries are based on aspects of those details, simplified and enlarged in a weaving.
Please visit my website to see more of my work-- scanlintapestry.com
Tommye Scanlin, tapestry weaver, and Bhakti Ziek, jacquard expert, will team teach the Spring 2017 at Penland. The class will focus on image making and story telling in weaving, and will be open to weavers and artists of all types and at any level. Both instructors are former college professors and have extensive knowledge of weaving in all its forms. This is a chance to participate in a studio where advanced weavers as well as novices are encouraged to learn from each other as they explore woven structures for ways to make images. Work will be done on tapestry looms and/or floor looms. Everything (almost!) possible in a "weaverly" way will be explored.Western North Carolina Fibers/Handweavers Guild

In February 2012, the library launched the Artist Curated Book Display series, which invites an artist from the community to create a display of ten items that inspire them from the library collections. Alongside the display the artist will showcase an example of their work.
The program is an opportunity for artists to share their work with the public and to emphasize how the public library is a resource for creativity.
In December 2012, the library will host the artwork of Patrick Healy. The public is invited to hear Patrick discuss his work on Wednesday, December 12th at 7:00pm in the Levenson Room of the library. He will talk about the path he has taken with his artwork, what inspires him to create art and what inspires him to continue to work as an artist. Patrick will be the first artist in the series to give a talk.
Patrick Healey is a landscape painter living and working in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and has been exhibiting artwork for more than thirty years. His art career began in the late 70's while studying in Rome.
Patrick has participated in numerous solo and group shows over the years including shows at Nahcotta, the Strawbery Banke Museum, the George Marshall Gallery and the Currier Gallery of Art. In 2011, after a self-appointed hiatus, he returned to painting with the bold goal of creating 100 works.
"Patrick is a regular at the library." said Jennifer Moore, library assistant and creator of the program. "He was one of the first to comment on the program series. He really understands what I am trying to do with this program and I am delighted that he has agreed to participate."
"The Portsmouth library is such a wonderful library." said Patrick Healey. "It is an honor to be asked to create a display of books that have had such a significant influence on my life."

SINCE January, Dominick Buck has shared a stage with über Brit boy bands Blue and 5IVE, and X Factor's Shayne Ward and Matt Cardle.
On Wednesday (June 25), the 22-year-old beat-boxer from Wellington heads to Glastonbury with acoustic beat-box acapella band Triple Threat for their first Worthy Farm performance.
"We're going to be in the Theatre and Circus field. I've been heard at Pilton as a solo beat-box performer, but this'll be the first time with Triple Threat," Dom tells the County Gazette.
"I remember my first time at the festival was a big blur. It's so surreal, and I didn't think you could fit so many people in such a small space.
"It's the human equivalent of a cattle market. If you walk off with a bunch of friends and they walk off for two minutes you're not going to see them again for half an hour."
Reflecting on a whirlwind year so far for Dom and fellow band members AJ and Elliot, he says: "It's not until you look back at it and see what you've done that it actually starts to make a story. We feel amazing to be a part of it."
Post-Glastonbury, the band is looking forward to supporting Westlife's Shane Filan at Bridgwater's Blake Hall and Yeovil Westlands, and a record label showcase at the O2 in Islington.
As for Dom's beat-boxing craft? "At every single show, every day, there is some sort of development in my beat-boxing, whether it's a noise or pattern.
"The more I perform the more I learn."

Recently I bought a stainless steel vermont castings which I love. Two questions. I've never used porcelain coated cast iron. Do these need to be seasoned like regular cast iron? I can't get them to stop sticking. Also any good ideas for cleaning the grease buildup off of the stainless? Thank you.

Oil the grates (paper towel saturated with oil applied with tongs) just before you put on the food. Then, WAIT, until the seized food has freed itself from the grates. Don't try to turn it before it's ready to be turned.
Simple Green cleaner (available from many sources) is the best all around commercial cleaner that I've found. Dilute it or use it full strength depending on the particular application. Spray it on and give it time to work. Rinse thoroughly.
Ammonia is a good heavy duty cleaner for ovens, so it should work for grills, too. The way I use it for ovens is as follows. Warm the oven to 150 - 200 degrees. Turn off the oven. Pour about a cup of ammonia in a glass bowl (non-reactive container) and place on the rack in the oven. Leave it there overnight. Next moning remove the ammonia and immediately clean the oven walls with hot water and dish detergent. The ammonia fumes will soften the baked on crud. For heavily crusted stuff, a repeat application may be needed.
Also, check into vinegar as a cleaning compound. I've successfully used it to remove rust from cast iron cookware, tools, etc. I've cleaned grill grates a number of times using this method. Boil the item in a strong solution of vinegar and water. Loosens crud and rust. Just be ready to reseason immediately!!

Will the vinegar work with cast aluminum? I have an old cornbread pan that I bought. I do not think it is cast iron, because I have cleaned enough to see that it is silver underneath. There are no markings so i am guessing at cast aluminum.
I would like to use this pan and was about to use EasyOff when I read this thread

Check it with a magnet. Cast iron also looks "silver" when the surface coating/oxidation is removed. If it's iron, a magnet will stick to it.
I don't have as much experience with aluminum as I do with castiron, so take these comments with a grain of salt. You may want to research further on the Internet, especially if your pan is valuable.
Vingear is a mild acid, thus, it may etch your pan. If you're not worried about that, go ahead and give vinegar & water a try. Mix up about a cup of vinegar to a gallon of water. It's best if you could simmer your cornbread pan in this solution for about an hour. However, you need to put this solution in a non-reactive container (enamelware or stainless steel.)
If that doesn't work, household ammonia will remove crud. It's not recommended for alumimun, but I have used it successfully to clean up old aluminum cookware. Fill the sink with HOT water. Add about 1/2 cup ammonia, 1/2 cup alcohol, and a good squirt of Dawn dishwashing liquid. Stir to blend mixture. Put the pan in the sink and forget it for a few hours or overnight. BTW, this works for electric stove burner pans and such, so you may want to add those to your sink when you soak the cornbread pan.
In closing, IMHO, the best approach to cleaning anything from grill grates to breadpans is to start with the most gentle remedy first. It that doesn't work, move on to something a bit stronger. Leave the caustic solutions (lye, commercial oven cleaners, etc.) as a last resort.
Hope this is helpful. Again, if your pan is an antique or valued heirloom, be sure to research any cleaning method you use. Some antiques shouldn't be cleaned, as it will destroy their collector's value.

ORLANDO, Fla. - A woman was dragged into the woods and raped by an armed assailant late Sunday night near Valencia College's East Campus in Orlando, according to deputies.
The sex attack happened just after 10 p.m. near Valencia College Lane and Chickasaw Trail, just west of State Roads 408 and 417.
Orange County sheriff's deputies said the man ran away after raping the woman.
"We do not have a lot of sexual batteries in this area -- these are very isolated. But we still encourage anybody who's walking or exercising late at night to try to do it in the daytime when it's a little safer, but if not, walk in visible areas, keep your cellphone with you, have a flashlight so cars don't crash into you and be aware of your surroundings," Orange County sheriff's Lt. Paul Hopkins said.
Deputies were scouring the wooded area for clues.
Investigators say the man is described as Hispanic, approximately 24-30 years old and approximately 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall and 170 pounds.
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call the Orange County Sheriff's Office or Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

We're getting some cold temperatures here for the next couple of days and if the air was calm they wouldn't be that bad, but wind is blowing pretty good and with it coming directly at the garage doors it tends to swirl when it gets inside. That's OK, Mrs. Chicken wants pasta tonight.
Anybody else experiencing a temporary hiatus?

Community managers put in long hours making sure their communities are happy and thriving. They're the face of the company to hundreds or even thousands of customers, and are sometimes the only company employee any customer will know by name.
Within their companies, they are the voice of the customer, reporting back on issues, concerns, successes, and requests. And yet all too often, they are the company's unsung heroes.
Community Manager Appreciation Day is one small way to help balance those scales out. Today is a day to recognize these heroes and let them know they're valued.
So here's to community managers everywhere! Each in your way works to make the world a happier and more harmonious place. Thank you for all that you do.
