Peyton is on a one man crusade to shut down a local NoHo BoHo art venue that he feels is violating a number of zoning laws. Depending on who you ask, Peyton is upset at the venue because they threw him out for being drunk. The venue's supporters say that Peyton has allegedely done all kinds of crazy things like urinating on the owner's car and putting feces in their mailbox. On Peyton's side, he's accused patrons of the venue of smoking pot in the alley behind the building, littering and other not so neighborly things.
Whatever Peyton has done or not done, there are some questions to be considered about the venue. Apparently the owner allegedly chose not to follow the usual steps of getting a business license, food permits, etc. and claimed he was running the place as a non-profit and people could choose to donate for cover charges, snacks, drinks, etc. When the heat was on (apparently from Peyton) Councilmember Wendy Greuel arranged for a local, legal non-profit organization to "umbrella" the venue.
This reminds me of a similar music venue in NoHo that was selling wine without a license. They claimed they were a private club and that donations were being made to the venue - the wine was free. Local police didn't buy it and the place was shut down.
Other questions include if the small location within a retail building is quite right for this venue, if there is enough parking, etc.
Though the venue has numerous supporters who are quite vocal and emotional, it doesn't make it right for the operator to skirt the law. Numerous other businesses and non-profit arts venues in Los Angeles do things the right way and are good neighbors. Its not fair to them to excuse one who does not.
You may not like Peyton, his former profession or his alleged antics. But he does have a point.

Q: I've heard that ibuprofen can cause severe allergic reactions in some people. My daughter is teething; should I not give her this medication?
A: First, let me say that all medications have the potential to cause allergic reactions, so you should think twice before reaching for any medicine bottle. If a child has a stubbed toe, it should be iced and elevated first; this may help avoid the need for painkillers. Likewise, teething pain can be treated with a frozen washcloth (to avoid damaging the gums, first rub the cloth well to remove rough edges; also consider putting a bit of breast milk on it to make it taste familiar), cold teething toys and lots of TLC. My best recommendation is to use the least amount of medicine necessary to ease your baby's discomfort—after trying other treatments first—and then stop the meds as soon as you can. Am I afraid of recommending acetaminophen or ibuprofen for my patients? No, but I do think that in the past, parents did not have enough information about possible (but rare) side effects.

RAF scrambled to intercept Russians
RAF Typhoon fighters were scrambled to intercept "multiple Russian aircraft" as part of the Nato mission to police the airspace over the Baltics, the Ministry of Defence has said.
The aircraft from 3 (Fighter) Squadron were ordered into the skies yesterday after four separate groups of aircraft were detected by Nato air defences in international airspace near to the Baltic states.
The aircraft were subsequently identified as a Russian Tupolev Tu22 Backfire bomber, four Sukhoi Su27 Flanker fighters, one Beriev A50 Mainstay early-warning aircraft and an Antonov An26 Curl transport aircraft.
The MoD said the Russian aircraft, which appeared to be carrying out a "variety of routine training", were monitored by the Typhoons and escorted on their way.
Four Typhoons - which are now stationed at the Siauliai air base in Lithuania - were deployed to the region last month in a show of support by Nato against the backdrop of the crisis in the Ukraine.
Russia's backing for armed separatists in the Ukraine had increased nervousness in the three Baltic states of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia which do not have their own air defence fighters and rely upon Nato.
In the past week, Nato aircraft have been scrambled 13 times due to unidentified aircraft operating around the Baltic region.
Yesterday's interception was the sixth to have been carried carried out by the British aircraft since their arrival from their home base in at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, in support of the Polish-led Nato detachment in Lithuania.
The Typhoon detachment commander, Wing Commander Ian Townsend said: "We regularly intercept Russian and civilian aircraft from UK Quick Reaction Alert and so this type of mission is core business for us and exactly what we were sent to the Baltic region by Nato to do.
"It was a thoroughly successful operation with both my ground crew and aircrew performing to the exacting professional high standards I have come to expect."

Wildcat Creek (North & South Forks)
The wildcat creek waterway has many recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. The state of Indiana (IDNR) recognizes much of the creek system as scenic waterway. The waterways provide recreational, historical, as well as geological attractions.
The wildcat creek system consists of three forks (North, South, Middle). All the forks flow in an east to west direction. Often water levels very on all three forks depending on the season, spring having the higher levels and late summer/early fall having lower levels. The South Fork of the wildcat begins in Howard County flowing through north-central Indiana crop lands, pastures, forests, as well as developed areas through Carroll County and into Tippecanoe County. The south fork often has less water compared to the north fork but still allows for great canoeing and fishing. The south fork eventually meets up with the north fork at First Wildcat Park.
The North Fork begins for canoeists at Pe-Che-Wah Public Access near Greentown and ends in the Wabash River near Lafayette. The north fork has the larger flow of water of the three waterways. Along the creek you can find 12 public access sites ending with Davis Ferry on the Wabash. The north fork also offers great fishing as well as viewing of wildlife.
The Middle Fork has no public access and a number of obstacles make this fork more difficult for the average canoeist. An experienced canoeist may find the creek challenging if water levels are cooperative and permission to use private property is obtained.
North Fork of Wildcat Creek
Burlington to Adams Mill – the Burlington Access site is a newer access site built by DNR Fish and Wildlife and it marks the beginning of the scenic section of Wildcat Creek on the North Fork. The site is on the north side of Burlington on SR 29, turn left on Arvin Road just past the bridge over Wildcat Creek. The access road is immediately left just as you enter Arvin Road. Follow the gravel drive to the scenic river sign where there is parking for 5-6 cars. A foot path from the parking area will lead over the levy down to the waters edge.
Adams Mill (dam) to Knop Lake - the put in site is at Adams Mill Public Fishing Area. There is a path that leads to the water but it may be lengthy. This is a popular place for fishermen. There are plenty of picnic areas in and around the mill. Parking spaces shouldn't be a problem, as there is plenty of room. It is approximately 14 miles to the next access site. So plan accordingly for a 6 to 8 hour float. The creek flows under the Lancaster covered bridge (500 W). This is a popular area for photographers.
Knop Lake to Mis-so-la - this is a nine-mile trip taking from 4 to 7 hours to float.
Mis-so-la to First Wildcat Park - the parking area at Mis-so-la is small. The put in site is easy to find and easy to use. The 4 mile trip can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Recommended as a good trip for those who are looking for a quick easy paddle.
First Wildcat Park to Peters Mill - The park has plenty picnic tables as well as a picnic shelter. There are also restrooms and plenty of parking. The put-in at First Wildcat Park can require a lengthy portage to the edge of the creek. A nice sandy beach covers the area popular with the locals for swimming and lying out. The float should take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours.
Peters Mill to Davis Ferry (Wabash River) - The Peters Mill site is small but easily accessible to the water. It has a nice wooden dock for easy access to the creek. The float from Peters mill to Davis Ferry can take anywhere from 5 to 8 hours.
Emergency medical service is available at hospitals in Kokomo and Lafayette.
South Fork of Wildcat Park
From Dayton to Fairfield - The put in is downstream of the state road 38 bridge (on the eastern edge of Dayton), along Co. Road 800 E., on the right bank of the creek. Stay close to the bridge and follow the path to the creek. There is plenty of paved parking for at least 50 cars. The next public access site is in the Fairfield Lake Fish and Wildlife area. It can take anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours to float this stretch.
Fairfield to Monitor - The put in is on a sandy shore found at the end of a small walking path, which is paved, and ADA accessible. The parking area can hold around a dozen cars. The float should take from 2 to 4 hours to reach Monitor Public access site.
Monitor to First Wildcat Park - the put in is located just under the bridge. A short footpath with steps leads you to the water. The float can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours.
Emergency service is located in Lafayette.

Made another visit over to Capitol Hill over the weekend and snapped a photo of one of my favorite exterior projects. It usually takes forever for things to get wrapped up and tweaked to "perfection" but my client had finally replaced a light fixture and refinished her beautiful mahogany door (with marine varnish). The entry, completed:
Before (tired, peeling, blah…blah):
And after (Benjamin Moore Dorset Gold HC-8 on the body/ Dark Walnut BMCC 1358 as accent):
Oh how I adore the eclectic architecture in this neighborhood. Many of these "pressed brick" townhouses date from the late 1800's and have "Italianate" ornamentation. The paint treatments are all over the map, some more traditional and others really funky and irreverent.
And there is the lively Eastern Market, in full swing on weekends. Check it out, enjoy the stroll and… and be sure to look up while you're walking!

Real-Life 'Slumdog' Wins $1 Million on Indian Game Show [VIDEO]
In terms of US dollars, Sushil Kumar has just become the first real-life 'Slumdog Millionaire.'
On Tuesday, Kumar won 50 million rupes — or just over $1 million — by answering every question right on the Indian version of 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire.' It was the largest cash award in Indian game show history.
Kumar, who makes $120 a month as a government worker in one of India's most impoverished regions, had been too poor to afford a TV. He had previously watched 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' at his neighbor's house, and because Kumar would always get the questions right, his neighbor had encouraged him to try out for the game show.
The 26-year-old plans to use some of the money to pay for a course to help him prepare for India's difficult civil service exam. He will also buy his wife a house, help his parents pay off their debts, give his brothers money to use for start up businesses and build a library for the children of his village. Don't forget to save some for a rainy day, Kumar!

The '70s And '80s Return As We Present The Retro-Tasteless Looks We Want To Own Today.
You know you dig it. For nearly three years we've been hearing from fortysomethings about secret cravings for blowers, tunnel-rams, raised-white letters, Cragars, and even (gasp!) graphics. It's the predictable, "back when I was in high school" scenario. But then the rebel twentysomethings started to catch on to it, spellbound by the concept of wheels as small in diameter as, say, 15s and awestruck by the power-hungry carbon footprint of dual quads atop an 8-71. So call us harbingers of ghastly retrogaudiness, but we'll go ahead and say it: '70s and '80s street machine style is back.
Thing is, though, just like the still-booming craze for '50s- and '60s-style hot rods, the best retroriffic car builders of now need to filter out the repugnant elements of history and crank up the stuff that everyone recalls as icons of cool. In the hot rod world, it's easier to strike the right pose or get close enough that guys love your junk even when you miss a few cues here and there. With muscle car street machines, you have to be bolder with your '70s- and '80s-inspired choices so people know you mean it and not just that you're a guy with dated wheels. That means digging deep into the look, taking risks, and applying the stuff that really works.
This story is here to help you do that. We rifled through the dustiest portions of the HRM archives for examples of street machines from the 1978 to 1982 time frame and picked the ones we thought still looked cool today. Some seen here are a bit over the top, but we'll guide you with our opinions of what works and what doesn't, gladly assuming the roles of throwback Mr. Blackwells of horsepower and headbanging. This is about fashion, even if it is bell-bottoms and concert-jersey fashion. Whether you agree with our assessments or not, let us see your retro-style muscle rides. They're what's now. Again.
The Stockers
There was a time when Roots blowers were as commonplace as today's 17-inch Torq-Thrust wheels. The formula was easy: Take a bone-stock muscle car, add dish mags or Cragars and white-letter meats, and cut a hole in the hood to clear your 6-71, or preferably, 8-71. Here are four examples of that look.

Ralph Holguin's '56 F-100 Mixes Red, Gray, Old and New
When it comes to classic trucks, there's a reason why some builders stick with a stock restoration or time-honored traditional modifications. It's risk management. Doing something the way people before you have done it is safe; it ensures that what you do will be accepted—at least by the previous person who did it. Trying something different—not so safe. There's always the chance that changing something won't work. If you're going to customize a classic truck, you want to be sure that the custom and the classic fit together. Ralph Holguin's '56 F-100 exemplifies how it looks when the combination really works.
The classic part was easy. Ford took care of that when they introduced the F-100 pickup, and it's as classic today as a Fender Strat or a pair of Ray-Bans. When Ralph was growing up, his father drove a Ford pickup, and that truck is part of the memories he has of his dad during those days. Ralph says he built this truck in homage to him.
Finding the right raw material was straightforward. Ralph knew he wanted a '56 F-100. He found the perfect subject at a local swap meet. Typically, there was some competition from another interested enthusiast, "but we were the lucky ones," he told us.
The original plan was to keep the project simple. Just a straightforward restoration—safe, you might say. So what happened? As the head of RMD Group and RMD Garage, builders of some of the world's most advanced high-performance cars and trucks, Ralph has a reputation for going big. And this truck, he says, ended up being his biggest build. "I really wanted to make it very modern and clean, but at the same time still pay tribute to its era. I didn't just want a custom truck, I wanted a one-of-a-kind custom truck that would be beyond amazing."
Taking a project to that level requires careful planning and execution. Ralph assembled a build team that included Felix Gomez, David Ortiz, and Juan Carlos "Mosco" Lomas.
The project picked up momentum when Ralph decided to extract the truck's other-brand engine, and get a Ford back in his Ford—but nothing predictable. He made a call to Vaughn Gittin Jr., one of the most successful competitors in the Formula drifting series. Gittin helped Ralph get a new Coyote modular engine from Ford Racing. "That changed the whole plan," Ralph said. "We knew we had to do something great to go along with the engine."
The Coyote is the new Ford modular engine that got everyone's attention when it was introduced a couple years ago. Formally known as the 5.0L Ti-VCT, which is easier to say than "Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing" (but not as easy as "Coyote"), the all-aluminum engine is available as a crate engine from Ford Racing—or wrapped in a Mustang. Making a modestly estimated 412 horsepower, it's what every F-100 needs. Putting that power to use is a six-speed manual transmission with an Exedy racing clutch.
Underneath, the chassis was entirely rebuilt, starting with custom fabricated framerails. The frontend was then upgraded with a Mustang II-style independent suspension. At the other end, a 3.73:1 rearend was recruited from a second-generation Ford SVT Lightning truck, and a four-link system was added. Air suspension components from RideTech were added at both ends to improve handling and ride quality, and help provide the truck's low posture and ready-to-go rake. Stopping is not a problem with a Mustang GT master cylinder feeding Wilwood 16-inch disc brakes at all corners.
The combination of contemporary and classics continues inside the '56 where the RMD Garage team replaced the mid-century bench with a pair of built-for-comfort Lexus buckets. The upholstery is deep red leather, and the pattern is a modern version of a '50s style, updated with 5.0 emblems. The door panels and headliner were similarly finished in leather and aluminum.
A full-length custom console separates the seats and houses the one-off shifter handle. The '56 F-100 arch-shaped dash was kept intact, and a custom instrument panel was filled with a full range of Auto Meter gauges. The steering wheel is a Billet Specialties Stiletto model on a polished tilt column.
Take a close look at the bodywork on Ralph's F-100. Mirrors have been removed, door handles and emblems have been shaved, and the gaps are consistent, but there have been no radical alterations made to the factory lines—just some simple, smart ones. The vent windows were eliminated in favor of one-piece glass, and front and rear bumpers were cleaned up and pulled in as close as possible to the body. The rear bumpers were also modified to contain the taillights.
The paint colors were chosen conservatively (using the two most popular paint colors), but applied creatively. The PPG paint was sprayed at RMD Garage. A neutral pinstripe separates the red from the dark gray. The curved drop in color in the center of the doors mimics the back of the front fenders and helps visually tie the bed to the body.
The tires and wheels are the most modern elements of the exterior. Ralph went big. These 22- and 24-inch Asanti wheels leave just enough room inside the fenders for low-profile rubber. These are Pirelli P Zero Nero performance radials measuring 265/30ZR22 and 285/30ZR24.
Ralph and his crew at RMD Garage had the F-100 finished in a quick six months. "I really wanted this particular build to showcase our in-house talents," Ralph explained. "The end result totally surpassed my initial expectations." Considering that his goal was "a one-of-a-kind custom truck that would be beyond amazing," we'd say his expectations were pretty high to begin with. We'd also say he got his wish. At the prestigious Grand National Roadster Show the truck won awards for Truck of the Year and Best In Class.

Either way, your files are protected and always available to you.
Mozy is the ultimate "set it and forget it" solution for backup.

If disaster ever strikes, you'll be ready. Need to restore files? Easily restore your files via the MozyPro client software, by right clicking in File Explorer (Windows), at Mozy.com, or through DVDs shipped straight to you.

After you back up once, Mozy makes sure to only back up new or changed portions of files. Why is this important? Backing up duplicate files takes up unnecessary storage and uses more bandwidth. Backing up only the data that has changed since the last backup saves you bandwidth costs and makes incremental backups lightning quick.
When is overnight shipping faster than the Internet? When you've got hundreds of gigabytes (or even terabytes) to back up offsite. (Hey, the web's not perfect for everything.) That's why we created the Mozy Data Shuttle seeding service. Use it to send large initial backups to a Mozy data center safely and securely—and fast.
MozyPro uses the same encryption standards used by the military and trusted banking institutions. Your data is encrypted the moment a file is selected for backup, during transit through an SSL-encrypted connection, and at rest in our data centers. That's ultimate protection.
If you're looking to keep your company's data safe and secure, you've come to the right place. The Mozy service successfully completed an SSAE 18 Type 2 audit, which resulted in a SOC 2 Type 2 report, as well as completed a recertification of ISO/IEC 27001 version 2013. Additionally, the Mozy service successfully completed an independent HIPAA-HITECH SSAE 18 Type 1 audit, which resulted in a SSAE 18 Type 1 report.
Ransomware is an ongoing threat to consumers and businesses alike, costing millions of dollars each year. Unfortunately, ransomware attacks are on the rise as they're easy to develop and simple to execute.
Ransomware typically gains access to a computer system through email or social networking sites. Once a user clicks on a malicious link or opens an infected attachment, the malware spreads throughout the system. It can quickly proliferate through shared folders, affecting both those within and outside the infected organization. Ransomware either locks the computer or encrypts the user's files and the perpetrators demand that the user or business pay a specified amount of money in exchange for a decryption key.
Fortunately, Mozy acts as a second line of defense for your data against ransomware and other forms of malware. This ensures that your data will be there when you need it most.
Email or pick up the phone, even if it's 3:58 a.m. Mozy's expert technicians are awake and ready to assist you with your questions and help you restore your files. We never outsource our support services so when you talk to a Mozy technician, you are really talking to someone that is part of the Mozy family.

photo snapped at a roofless abandoned stone house along the potomac river, headed to the Red Thread Retreat last week
last wednesday, i was spending the entire day rushing around, as usual, doing last minute errands and packing my suitcase and tool bag for an 8.5 hour drive northeast to a place where two major rivers join as one. i was nervous, more than ever. i felt a little trepidatious about the long drive, didn't know anyone other than the instructors - good friends i've known from teaching all these twelve or thirteen years, lesley riley and claudine hellmuth - and feeling as i've felt for the past few weeks and months, i was hoping i'd be able to rise to the occasion, to enjoy the company, the teaching, the camaraderie. of course, i was anxious about leaving home, anxious about leaving walter, anxious about teaching, anxious about being "on" for a number of days. i was an hour later leaving home than i had anticipated, and sad to drop walter off at the kennel; but the day was lovely, with blue, deep blue october skies, a lot of color still left in these mountain trees. before leaving home, i took the time to pack myself a lovely little picnic lunch as a gentle treat for myself somewhere halfway between here and there, in the shenandoah valley, virginia. it had been my intention to find a lovely rest stop area under trees, where i could spread out a cloth and my lunch, and spend a leisurely hour reading a little, maybe writing a little, and preparing myself to be back amongst a larger crowd (18 women, including myself) for over three days in one house. a late departure shortened that time to a few minutes, but still i spread the cloth, and savored the moment as a shower of white pine needles covered the cloth, nestled into my hair, found their way into the picnic basket and my drink. it was alright. they were dry, and the trees were greeting me in their quiet way.
thankfully, i had purchased a navigation system back in the summer, which allowed for a much more relaxed drive. just as the sun began to sink behind soft rolling mountains, i drove up the road to red thread. it felt like riding a bike, getting out of that car to greet familiar friends' faces. the house was lovely, tucked under autumn trees. we had one day of intermittant sun peeking out from a sky that quickly grew grey. a storm approached. every one of us would be affected by travel. the only way out took us down a narrow road right next to a massive river. but the time that we had there was magical, and nurturing. i opened. i knew when, in late evenings, to retreat and tuck into bed. i was kind to myself, and others embraced me with love and support. it was a wonderful thing.
by saturday afternoon, it was evident that my departure for home needed to be scheduled a day earlier than originally planned; i'd be driving into the part of a storm that was rushing in from the west, with snow and ice and rain. another part of the storm was rushing in from the east, promising to swell the river and flood the area, to knock out power and exit roads. leaving was tough - but new friendships had been formed, old friendships were acknowledged and honored, i taught with ease, i shared with everyone the anxiety and sadness i've been experiencing of late.
laughter was common, stories were open, the red thread was a common connecting factor that pulled us all together. i was not judged. i was lifted up by these warm women, and appreciated, and when i left, i was strengthened by all of these things. pulling out of the driveway and heading down sunday morning's long grey road was no longer a frightening thing. i spent eight and a half hours driving, driving, driving, watching dozens and dozens of electric truck convoys - hundreds of white trucks - barreling down the highway in the opposite direction, towards the east coast. rest areas were overflowing with recreational trailers towing cars, with families piling out of vehicles for a quick break. i ate behind the wheel. rain fell. it fell, and it fell, and by the time i reached the tennessee line, the road was cushioned in a shroud of thick fog. i was grateful for the change in schedule; i was grateful to be safely heading back home, even more grateful to be at the kennel before closing time, to pick up an elated walter and carry him back to firefly road.
on monday, the snow began to fall, first thing. it fell, in fits and starts, mixing in with freezing rain. by yesterday morning, the world as i know it here was an entirely transformed place: all trees were laced in white, and the vision beyond at times was nothing but a thick curtain of pale grey. when the curtain parted, velvet mountains were on display. we waited for the power to fail; i cooked black beans and rice, cornbread and curried chick peas. i brewed hot spicy tea. i rested. i remembered. i loved the taste of winter that surrounded me. i worried about the rest of the east coast, and prayed for everyone's safety. i read. i sat. i rested some more.
this morning the sun is back out, and the blue sky is a welcome sight. i'm still in a fog, but a little of the sadness has lifted. things are always put squarely in perspective, in the days after a natural disaster of such breadth and scope. i'm safe, i'm dry, i do have this roof over my head. it has been two weeks since i began the new medication, and i am finding myself a tiny bit more able to cope with the changes that life throws in my path. i do what i know to be best. i continue to worry and dwell on things that tend to confuse and frustrate me, but the sadness is not all encompassing. anxiety is not overwhelming, at least. the nipping fears are kept at bay, and i have hope. i've learned that much, about myself, this week. pumpkin by my artist friend, julie whitmore.
this poem was a gift from a new friend, patti edmon, in this morning's email. i met patti at the red thread retreat, and we both felt that we didn't have quite enough time to talk and share as much as we wanted. there will be time for that, i know there will. friends make time. they do. xo
The Seven Of Pentacles
Under a sky the color of pea soup
she is looking at her work growing away there
actively, thickly like grapevines or pole beans
as things grow in the real world, slowly enough.
If you tend them properly, if you mulch, if you water,
if you provide birds that eat insects a home and winter food,
if the sun shines and you pick off caterpillars,
if the praying mantis comes and the ladybugs and the bees,
then the plants flourish, but at their own internal clock.
Connections are made slowly, sometimes they grow underground.
You cannot tell always by looking what is happening.
More than half the tree is spread out in the soil under your feet.
Penetrate quietly as the earthworm that blows no trumpet.
Fight persistently as the creeper that brings down the tree.
Spread like the squash plant that overruns the garden.
Gnaw in the dark and use the sun to make sugar.
Weave real connections, create real nodes, build real houses.
Live a life you can endure: Make love that is loving.
Keep tangling and interweaving and taking more in,
a thicket and bramble wilderness to the outside but to us
interconnected with rabbit runs and burrows and lairs.
Live as if you liked yourself, and it may happen:
reach out, keep reaching out, keep bringing in.
This is how we are going to live for a long time: not always,
for every gardener knows that after the digging, after the planting,
after the long season of tending and growth, the harvest comes.
~ Marge Piercy ~

Calumet Beginnings: Ancient Shorelines and Settlements at the South End of Lake Michigan
Indiana University Press, 2003 - History - 247 pages
The landscape of the Calumet, an area that sits astride the Indiana-Illinois state line at the southern end of Lake Michigan was shaped by the glaciers that withdrew toward the end of the last ice age--about 45,000 years ago. In the years since, many natural forces, including wind, running water, and the waves of Lake Michigan, have continued to shape the land. The lake's modern and ancient shorelines have served as Indian trails, stagecoach routes, highways, and sites that have evolved into many of the cities, towns, and villages of the Calumet area. People have also left their mark on the landscape: Indians built mounds; farmers filled in wetlands; governments commissioned ditches and canals to drain marshes and change the direction of rivers; sand was hauled from where it was plentiful to where it was needed for urban and industrial growth. These thousands of years of weather and movements of peoples have given the Calumet region its distinct climate and appeal.

hey, guys; probably should have made an account back in 2014 when i first started playing 1942...
with that aside, i somewhat recently (1-4 months ago?) got the 255-ai modification to work in any mod, to which i applied the instructions in the moddb article i used as a guide; it worked perfectly, and it made a lot of mods more enjoyable, but eventually, the new executable would open and immediately close; at first i thought it was refusing to open, but i eventually watched the task manager during the process, and it seems to pop up very briefly before winking out; this may have been after a multiplayer game (which would have been the first multiplayer game since i had finally gotten the player count modification to work.)
the oddity is that, the game itself is intact, and using my back-up executable works perfectly; the back-up executable in the article does not, saying something about the game cd.
if it helps, i'm not using a technically legitimate copy (i was forced to torrent the game; it was after it was made free, but also after ea completely withheld distribution of copies.)
would anyone know a solution to this? it's not of the utmost importance, certainly, but it makes many mods far more playable with ai (they have that tendency to sort of clump up around bases with 64 players.)

The Town of Sanford, N.Y., population 2,400, sits in the Delaware River watershed in the foothills of the western Catskill region. If you want to get a close up look at the moral and legal complexity of the shale gas debate, Sanford and neighboring towns and villages to the west are a good place to start. The issues pitting neighbor against neighbor here extend beyond economics and environmentalism to broad ideological interpretations of freedom.
Conflict over what can be said or can't be said at a town board meeting, and whether the state is interfering with landowners' rights to extract assets from their properties embody monumental questions about Constitutional rights surfacing with the shale gas story. With New York's moratorium on shale gas development pending an environmental review in its fifth year, these interwoven conflicts are heading to court for disentanglement.
The tension between rights to exploit resources versus rights to be protected against exploitation is a familiar theme in the extraction industry, and I will get to the latest develop on that in a minute. A fight over citizens' rights to talk about these issues at a town meeting, on the other hand, is a unique wrinkle in the shale gas debate, at least in the town of Sanford, which is on the front line of the controversy.
As recounted in Under the Surface, Sanford is the place where Town Supervisor Dewey Decker organized landowners to form a group to collectively negotiate terms to lease land during the height of the shale gas boom in 2008. The coalition of several hundred landowners agreed to a deal with XTO Energy (now part of Exxon Mobile) to lease 50,000 acres for $110 million (plus 13.5 percent royalties). The terms made many farmers, including Decker, millionaires before a well was drilled. It also served as a wake up call to the rest of the state about the stakes being put into play with shale gas development.
Since then, Sanford has been in the middle of the controversy, owing partly to its position on the edge of the New York City watershed and partly due to the money on the table that reflects the value of natural gas deposits in both the Utica and Marcellus shales underlying the region. Activists from both local and regional anti-fracking groups have made the Town of Sanford and the broader Catskill region a strategic part of their efforts to ban high volume hydraulic fracturing and, consequently, shale gas development.
In September, members of the Sanford Town Board, apparently fed up with the fracking debate, passed a resolution banning further discussion of the matter during the public comment period at town meetings. Town officials with significant financial stakes in shale gas development, meanwhile, have not been silent. Acting in the capacity of Town Supervisor (rather than landowner), Decker sent a letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo three days before the town ban urging the state to expedite the pending health and environmental review of shale gas development, and complaining that a delay was "only empowering opponents." Prior to that, the board passed a resolution urging the state to move forward, and rejecting calls for the town to ban fracking.
The board surely has a right to take a position, but it has put itself in a vulnerable spot with its ban on speech at town meetings. True, open meetings law allow towns certain "reasonable restrictions" to manage public comment periods. But from a journalist's view, it will set a frightening precedent if elected officials are allowed to single out certain topics for censor, especially if those topics deal with matters of overwhelming public interest, such as shale gas development. Moreover, it's an egregious act of bad faith when the censor targets citizens following accepted protocol in an open forum designed for their input.
Not surprisingly, the Town of Sanford speech ban is being challenged. The Natural Resources Defense Council and Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy filed a suit earlier this month asking the U.S. Court of the Northern District of New York to rule that the resolution banning fracking speech at Sanford Town meetings is a constitutional infringement because it "unlawfully bars plaintiffs' members from speaking at Town Board meetings about a matter of substantial public interest that has generated significant political activity." The town has until March 14 to respond to the complaint. The timing from there depends on the town's response and court's schedule, said Kate Sinding, an attorney for the NRDC.
The lawsuit against the Town of Sanford is one of many that will be playing out as various stakeholders chart new legal ground related to shale gas development. On the other side of the fence, lawyers are working on a suit on behalf of landowners, like Dewey Decker, who claim government is taking away their rights to develop natural gas under their land. As reported by Gannett's Jon Campbell today, Dan Fitzsimmons, president of the Joint Landowners Coalition of New York, said the group is looking for four people to serve as plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Department of Environmental Conservation. The action will argue that the state's hold on shale gas permitting, pending the outcome of a health review with no timeline, amounts to an illegal "taking" of property rights. "The lawsuit against the state will focus on claims where the failure to grant (high-volume hydrofracking) permits has deprived landowners of all economically viable uses of their real property or interfered with reasonable investment-backed expectations," Fitzsimmons wrote to members.
The group is represented by Binghamton attorney Scott Kurkoski, who told Campbell "we're now recognizing that the state has no intention of ever completing the SGEIS." Kurkoski was referring to the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement, the document that includes both the health and environmental reviews necessary to proceed. (DEC Commissioner said the review will be completed within weeks, although he would not say when or whether the state will begin issuing permits.) Kurkoski's clients collectively own sizable parts of New York's southern Tier that cover lucrative swaths of both the Marcellus and Utica shales. It's where the controversy continues after four and a half years, and it will continue to keep lawyers busy into the foreseeable future.

As you prepare to review the results Tuesday from the Mississippi and Alabama primaries, keep this stat in mind: More than half of the Republican voters in Mississippi think President Obama is a Muslim.
Feel free to go ahead and start filling up the comments queue now, Birther Nation, if you've read this far. If you haven't, we repeat that no, Obama is not Muslim, say numerous nonpartisan fact-checkers.
Apparently, however, that news flash hasn't reached the Delta, according to the latest from Public Policy Polling:
"There's considerable skepticism about Barack Obama's religion with Republican voters in them. In Mississippi only 12 percent of voters think Obama's a Christian to 52 percent who think he's a Muslim and 36 percent who are not sure. In Alabama just 14 percent think Obama's a Christian to 45 percent who think he's a Muslim and 41 percent who aren't sure."
So which Republican candidate do the "Obama's a Muslim" voters find most appealing? Look no further than Mr. Newt:
"In Mississippi Newt's winning the 'Obama's a Muslim' vote 39-28, but in Alabama it's a three way tie with all of the leading candidates at 31 percent," said PPP.
For a little perspective, the "Obama's a Muslim"-believing quotient in Mississippi is more than twice as high as it is nationally according to a 2010 Pew poll.
Something to watch Tuesday: If 52 percent of people in Mississippi believe the Obama is a Muslim line, perhaps they also believe that Gingrich can lower gas prices to $2.50 a gallon — which has also been widely discredited. It just ain't that easy for any president to do.
Severin Borenstein, director of the UC Energy Institute, said Gingrich "extrapolates some recent improvements in exploration technology to mean that we can easily extend that to unlimited oil. In doing so, he sounds very much like some of the renewables advocates who claim that past declines in cost can surely be extrapolated to the point that wind, solar or whatever will be cheaper than fossil fuels."

Who cares for those in need in Montville? W.H.O. does
Montville - Last Tuesday, a mother and her daughter surveyed the kitchen table they had covered with a heavy winter coat, warm blankets, newly purchased shirts, a winter hat and ChapStick.
Lizz Adams and her adult daughter, Colleen Rix, weren't preparing for the upcoming winter. As they do every month, they were organizing donations to give to a Montville resident in need. And, as every month, they weren't exactly sure whom the items were going to.
"(We have) no idea who they are. No names, nothing," said Rix.
In January, Adams and Rix formed a group they call We Help Others, or W.H.O. They were inspired by the "Random Acts of Kindness" and "Pay It Forward" movements they saw during the holidays and thought it would be nice to do something along those lines year-round for a Montville resident.
So the two women approached Montville Social Services Director Kathleen Doherty-Peck and her assistant Robin Washington to ask whom they could help. Doherty-Peck and Washington are strict about the confidentiality of their clients. Every month they work together to choose a local family or individual in need and then send details about the people's needs - but not their names or any identifying information - to W.H.O.
Adams and Rix just refer to the recipients by their month - "the July family," for instance - as they organize the donations.
Each month, Adams and Rix post the information they receive from Social Services to a Facebook group they created. Then teachers and town councilors, mothers and fathers and single people, even people living out of state with a connection to Montville, read and respond.
When they started the project in January, it was just three of them putting together a basket - Adams, Rix and a longtime friend of Adams'. Then they started the Facebook group and began adding friends who had expressed interest. Now W.H.O.'s page has 256 members.
People can send donations to W.H.O. through the mail or drop them off with one of the women. Adams and Rix encourage potential donors to wait for a case that really touches them rather than donating every single month. One woman, for instance, was a cancer survivor and took particular interest when one of the recipients was going through chemotherapy. She decided to send things that helped her during that process, such as hard candies.
Still, there are people who reply every month. One man gives $100 for each recipient, Adams said. Another person she's never met sends something from Wallingford for every basket.
Here is what Adams and Rix know about September: He is a man. He is single. He is a Montville resident who pays rent on a week-to-week basis and is in a danger of becoming homeless. He has no valid ID, making getting employment difficult, but is working with Montville social services to get one. He has no car, so he walks from Montville to New London and Norwich looking for work.
And they know he wears a size 13 shoe. ("I had to be sneaky to get that out of him," Washington wrote on the Facebook group.)
They don't know his age, race, personality or background, but they know the details necessary to make a difference in his life.
Adams and Rix explained that they try to think about the people recommended by social services throughout the month, trying to think of the little things that might help. When thinking about September, for instance, they realized some Blistex would probably be welcome with the coming winter and some candy might make a nice little surprise.
"We don't know them, but we kind of form a relationship with them and they don't even know it," said Adams.
W.H.O. takes any cash donations it receives and puts the money onto a Visa gift card for the basket recipient. In September, however, they asked if anyone had "Kohl's cash" - store credit given to customers who spend a certain amount of money in the department store - that they could combine with their coupons to get some clothing for the man.
They received $30 in Kohl's cash from a W.H.O. member, which they combined with their own discounts to purchase some collared shirts September could wear to interviews. Rix also picked up a decent wallet, thinking it was just the kind of small thing a struggling man might appreciate.
Some months are bigger than others for W.H.O. In April, they were told about an expectant mother who had recently moved to Montville. Her husband was in the military, they were informed, and she didn't know anyone in the area and had nothing for the baby.
So Adams and Rix put together a large, anonymous baby shower. Unlike in other months, those donating got together in person, bringing their donations with them. They covered tables in Fair Oaks School with diapers, hand-knit baby clothing, toys, hygiene products, blankets. Someone even brought a stroller.
Washington stuffed all the items into her car and drove it out to the woman, later posting to the Facebook group to say, "I hope you all realize that you have changed her life, not only with all of the beautiful gifts, but with a true sense of belonging to a community of very generous and compassionate people."
September was a more typical donation size - a new backpack and an additional bag stuffed with gifts. W.H.O. members donate the backpack, a thick Dickies coat, new interview clothes, a wallet, new sneakers, 10 rides' worth of SEAT bus tickets, candy, Blistex, a winter hat, fleece blankets, socks, a McDonalds gift card and $275 - more than enough for a month's rent - on a Visa gift card. W.H.O. members also reached out to social services to offer a few odd jobs, and one said she would donate her bike if the recipient would like it (it's a purple women's bike.)
Rix put the finishing touches on the donation by attaching a curly mass of ribbons to the handles of the bag and writing the gift card.
"You know when I do it, it always comes out as a poem," Rix warned her mother before signing the card with a note that ended, "(As you) continue to do what you do, know that we care for you."
Rather than putting individual names on the card, the group signs it "Who cares? We do."
September was "overjoyed" when he received the donations at the end of last week, said Doherty-Peck. And when she mentioned the debit card, the man looked at her in disbelief.
"The W.H.O. group is making a real difference in people's lives," said Doherty-Peck. "(The recipients') needs are so extremely different … but what they did for each of those families was so incredible."

Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate research at The University of Virginia's College at Wise is an evolving endeavor. Students have the opportunity to engage in independent research through their majors and through programs especially developed for summer research.
Funding provided by the Fellowship in the Natural Sciences (FINS) and the Undergraduate Research Council's Summer Scholar Stipends allows students to conduct mentored research. The Healthy Appalachia Institute (HAI), a partnership between the College and the University of Virginia, supports student fellows in conducting research on health issues in the region as well as participating in global health research with U.Va.'s Center for Global Health. Students receiving FINS, Summer Scholar Stipends, or HAI Fellowships are required to present their research at public forums during the following year. They are also encouraged to submit abstracts for the various symposia held in the spring. The Undergraduate Research Symposium held each spring in collaboration with Emory & Henry College offers these students and others a forum in which to present the results of their research. A student research symposium with member colleges of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC) provides additional opportunities. Through these efforts and others, the College honors its commitment to the liberal arts, enhancing and expanding our students' education through experiential learning.

On the eve of what looks set to be a big win for the anti-EU United Kingdom Independent Party, the resident eurosceptic tabloid, the Daily Express, has a shocking story about how the EU plans to "scrap Britain".
The horror!
The story begins (emphasis ours):
SENIOR Eurocrats are secretly plotting to create a super-powerful EU president to realise their dream of abolishing Britain and other nation states, the Daily Express can reveal.
So what's happening? Well, it turns out that the Express has heard some reports that the EU is planning on merging the roles of Herman Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, and Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission — a big and important change.
But the way that the Express describes it is masterful:
Opponents fear the plan could create a modern-day equivalent of the European emperor envisaged by Napoleon Bonaparte or a return to the Holy Roman Empire of Charlemagne that dominated Europe in the Dark Ages.
There's more:
At present, the two senior EU bureaucrats, Mr Barroso and Mr Van Rompuy, are locked in a bitter power struggle to determine who is the true big cheese or "grand fromage" in Europe.
It takes a UK Conservative MP, Douglas Carswell, to point out the real risk:
"My worry is that the president will end up having the charisma of Van Rompuy and the economic management skills of Barroso."

Marchand Ready for Actionby John Bishop / Boston Bruins
BOSTON, MA — The last time BostonBruins.com checked in with Brad Marchand he was hitting the gym hard regularly in his native Nova Scotia.
Today when we caught up with the B's shift disturber, he was very content to be back in Boston and readying himself to play hockey.
"It's been a long few months, and I really just can't wait to get back on the ice, and playing for the fans again," said Marchand after an informal skate at Boston University's Agganis Arena.
"I'm very excited, there's no question about that," he continued. "We can just worry about playing the game, and let the fans get back to enjoying it…and we can get back to the love of the game now."
Marchand joined seven teammates at Jack Parker Rink on Commonwealth Avenue and was thrilled to be back among his fellow Black & Gold.
"You really realize how close you are with your teammates," said Marchand. "It's just really fun being around the guys every day, and being the room and on the road with them."
Those road games could come quickly, and Marchand was blunt about his early expectations on the 2012-13 season.
"I think the first few games are going to be a little sloppy, but everyone is going to be pushing as hard as they can every game," he said. "It's going to mean so much more now that it's such a short schedule.
"If you go on a bad run to start the year, you can easily push yourself out of playoff position, so everyone really has to bear down, and make sure every game counts."
Marchand tends to do that anyway, but feels as if this edition of the Bruins should be in for a pretty exciting campaign. However, he and his teammates understand that any prolonged lapse in concentration could be detrimental to Boston's chances in the postseason.
"At this point, everyone is a contender," said Marchand. "With a shortened schedule, if teams go on a bad run a lot during the year — and everyone goes through ups-and-downs — if you have a tough start, it doesn't matter how good you are, you can push yourself out of a spot.
"We do have a good team, but we have to make sure we bring it every night."
And that's where Marchand's offseason training — and a fair bit of rest — should put him in good stead whenever training camp begins.
"I'm feeling pretty good," said the forward. "The biggest thing is we've been able to rest a lot throughout this time, and as good as working is for you during the season, a lot of rest is great too.
"I have been training hard, and trying to stay in shape, and I just can't wait to play."
That's good because when the puck drops it stands to reason that shifts and patience will be short.
"Everyone is going to have to [bring the energy], but being a younger guy, they're going to expect us to have a little bit of spunk, and be excited to be out there and play," said Marchand. "But a the same time, that's everyone.
"Everyone is excited to be back, and everyone is going to be pushing a little extra hard, a little harder to show how much they appreciate the fans being back, and I really think that everyone is going to be flying out there.
"I was thinking about it last night, what it's going to be like to step back in front of the fans again, and play in front of them," added Marchand. "It's going to be a blast, and I can't wait to hear the cheers of our crowd again, and hear that goal horn go off, and the Garden go crazy.

"In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn't merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly dog."
~~Edward Hoagland Wennie here.......For those of you who wondered if I'd had a run in with a shunk, the answer is NO. It's worse than that. If it was just a shunk, I could just take a tomatoe juice bath or something. I vomited all over the bed, Mommy & Sissy Tuesday night. I even have to say myself, that it stunk. I hadn't been my usual happy self for several days. I was lethargic, sleeping alot, whinning alot and was drinking lots of water. Mommy said she knew something was wrong when I didn't want her to pick me up and lay on her shoulder. I'm not called the VELCRO dog for nothing. I hadn't been Mommy's "HAPPY LITTLE FELLA" for a week or so and so she took me to see Dr Briles yesterday. Thank goodness, my Mona went to confort me. Now all of you know me and Dr Briles are buddies and Miss Cheryl, my nurse, loves me but THEY TORTURED ME YESTERDAY. They had to give me a SHOT with a long needle and told Mommy that it was gonna hurt and it would burn going in. She was holding me cause they had just given me a whole bag of IV fluid and I was scared. I was Ok with the IV, even though I puffed up like a balloon and they had to move the needle twice. Then came the shot, OMD, I screamed like a bunch of banshees was chasing me, Mommy started crying and Mona tried to hid under the bench. I almost leeped off the exam table and almost knocked Mommy over. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. I'm gonna show you some pictures first and then let Mommy tell ya about what they are calling PANCREATITUS.
(Mommy trying to hold onto me after the shot)
(Mona trying to hid under the bench. She was crying too and shaking like a leaf.)
(Miss Cherly getting ready to give me my IV. Notice my ear. Mommy thought it was cute. I DIDN'T!)
( My Mona, comforting me. My Sissy is so sweet.)
"Come on Mommy!! I've had enough."
(In the car on the way home.)
(Finally home)
The Mommy here.....
Yesterday, I decided to take Weenie to the Vet because he hasn't been his self. Besides the vomiting, only once that I saw, and drinking excessive aounts of water, he has been lethargic and seemed disoriented. Weenie is what I call my "Velcro Dog" and he hasn't wanted me to touch him. That was what made me decide to take him to see Dr Briles. Thank God I did, because we caught this in time, we think. The diagnosis is Pancreatitus, a cousin of Cushings, according to an article I read. Here is part of the artcle that scared me:
Pancreatitis in Dogs: Symptoms and Treatments
Pancreatitis is inflammation and swelling of the pancreas. It can occur in a mild or severe form. The cause of spontaneous pancreatitis in dogsis not well understood. Dogs taking corticosteroids are at increased risk. There is a higher incidence of pancreatitis in dogs with Cushing's syndrome, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and idiopathic hyperlipemia (a disease of Miniature Schnauzers). These diseases are associated with high serum lipid levels. Pancreatitis is also more prevalent in overweight spayed females and dogs on high-fat diets. An attack may be triggered by eating table scraps or a fatty meal.
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by the abrupt onset of vomiting and severe pain in the abdomen. The dog may have a tucked-up belly and assume a prayer position. Abdominal pain is caused by the release of digestive enzymes into the pancreas and surrounding tissue. Diarrhea, dehydration, weakness, and shock may ensue.
It is so confusing and heartbreaking. I've been so worried about Mona and her Cushings and now Weenie has to go through this. It's bad enough the little fella is blind. When Weenie had his annual in February, Dr Briles said then , that it was very possible that due to Weenie's age and his already nerveous stomack that he could get Cushings. Pancreatitus was not expected.
I am not good at waiting for test results so I am thankful that Dr Briles has his own diagnostic laboratory and we got the results and started treatment right away. There is a test called a CPL Pancreatitis Snap Test that indicates if that is the problem. I don't understand technecial stuff when I'm panic stricken but for dummieds like me .... A dark blue reading means it's acute and a light blue means it's just starting and treatable. Weenie's was light blue.
You have already heard from Weenie about THE SHOT. I felt like I was getting it too. I have never heard a scream like that before and it tore into my heart to hear it. Nobody wants to hear their baby scream like that.
His lab work showed that his PLT, ALKP and LIPA & CI were slightly high but his LIPA was 3864 with normal being 200 - 1800. He was given a bag of IV fluid and then THE SHOT of Cerenia and has to take a liguid version every 12 hours for vomiting for 14 days. He is also taking Metronidazole, a liquid, every 12 hours for diarrhea for 10 days and Amoxocillin, an antibotic for infection for 4 days.
He never lost his appetite but can't eat again until Monday night. Both Mona & Weenie think they are being starved as it is. It's cruel I know, because he can't jump, but I've been leaving him in the recliner while Mona eats. She eats so fast anyway so he's up there less than 5 minutes.
I want to thank Linda, Amber DeWeenie's Mom, for hearing me out yesterday and the kid's Aunt Judy, who used to be a lab techician, for explaining what the test results mean. It all went in one ear and out the other when Dr Briles showed me the test results.
I didn't mean to rattle on like this. Please forgive me.
Just now, as I was typing this post, Weenie was doing what he likes best, ROACHING, his playing again is a good sign, isn't it? He must be feeling better. I didn't grab the camera fast enough to catch it but I did take a small video to share of Weenie and my sweet Mona who hasn't left his side since we got back home from the vet. I picked a Smilebox about dogs trying to chear up a dog. The music made me smile.
God Bless and please keep the little fella in your thoughts and prayers.........The Mommy, Sarah
PS.........He must be feeling a little better cuase he's back to being my Velcro dog today.

Working with Florida's Construction Leaders to Build New Opportunities for Communities
Guest blog post by Francisco J. Sánchez, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade Secretary, Department of Commerce
Entrepreneurs are a major key to U.S. economic growth. Their ideas, creativity and pioneering spirit are among our nation's greatest resources, and are helping to pave the road to recovery.
That's why the Commerce Department, under the leadership of Secretary John Bryson, is firmly committed to supporting American business owners in every way we can. And, our partnership with the private sector is essential to this work which is why I traveled to Miami, Florida earlier today to meet with the Latin Builders Association (LBA).
Founded in 1971, the LBA is the largest Hispanic construction association in the United States. They have shaped skylines, built neighborhoods and made a significant impact on the South Florida area. And, every day, leaders like them are doing great work on the ground to do more than just rebuild our communities; they are committed to building a better and stronger America.

Brick Cleaning Video
Pressure washers are not necessarily the best method. A pressure washer can erode the mortar between the bricks or remove the cement paste off concrete. A better method of patio cleaning is with the use of oxygen bleach. Do not use chlorine bleach that is toxic to the environment. Oxygen bleach is safe to use and it removes the mildew and algae built up on the brick.
Mix the oxygen bleach with warm water and let it dissolve completely in the water. Then just pour the cleaning solution on the patio and let the bubbles work. After a short wait, use a street broom or scrub brush to work the liquid into the brick. Then, rinse with a garden hose.
The results will be great. You will have a clean patio to enjoy this season.
|Message from Tim:
Years ago while researching a column about cleaning decks, I discovered the wonders of Oxygen Bleach. It is perhaps the 'greenest' cleaner I know of as it uses oxygen ions to break apart stains, dirt and odor molecules. There are no harsh chemicals, and it works on just about anything that is water washable.
I decided to create my own special blend using ingredients made in the USA. In fact, the raw materials in the active ingredient are food-grade quality registered with the FDA. I call my product Stain Solver. I urge you to use it to help with cleaning your brick patio. You will be amazed at the results!
One Response to Brick Cleaning Video
I am a new subscriber to your newsletter and your videos are very helpful. Just a suggestion: When you are creating a cleaning video like this one on Stain Solver cleaning a brick deck, please give us the ratio of Oxygen bleach to warm water, it would be very helpful.

Regulating independence
Independence Day. John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, the following: "It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forevermore."
They had just finished the Declaration of Independence, letting the big boys back in England know that they were fed up.
Tired of the shackles, inane regulations and the out-of-touch regulators themselves.
I wonder what the signers would have thought the next year, if some city fathers decided that the kids could not light off a firecracker. Maybe there would have been a second Boston Tea Party.
OK, I can accept the "No Fireworks" in the county-rural areas. But wouldn't it have made sense to allow fireworks inside the city limits? I am a lifelong Kansas resident, having lived through some really dry years. Firecrackers and other fun things are what make Independence Day what it is. Kids need the opportunity to step on a burning ember or experience a firecracker popping their fingers. I don't recall a house fire in Hays due to fireworks since moving here in 1970. This is the second year for this limitation.
Now that our governing regulators have established policy to do away with what John Adams envisioned, the sad refrain begins. The fat lady sings and weeps.
I plan on buying some firecrackers in Plainville. There will be a "Hays Tea Party" on the Fourth of July. Bang, bang.

The latest Suspects to tackle a police show: New drama challenges old format
DAVID STEPHENSON talks to the cast of Suspects, Channel 5's groundbreaking new improvised police drama
It takes a brave TV company to launch a new police procedural drama. This is the TV genre littered with failures, with some notable exceptions. ITV's The Bill showed it was possible to do a police drama which focused on the case itself. It became rather soapish during its 16 years but proved the audience had an appetite for a weekly police procedural, even though it was originally based on a one-off show called Woodentop.
Which brings us to Channel 5's convincing foray into the world with its gritty and improvised Suspects, which begins next week. It's no surprise producer Paul Marquess has brought this new police show to the screen, having worked on The Bill for four years as executive producer. He also worked on the second series of The Only Way Is Essex, a so-called "structured reality" show in which storylines are fed to the stars.
He says: "I hope we've avoided the clichés of the telly cop. Because of my background we know lots of real police so hope we've evoked some of the feel of what really goes on in a police station and how they really approach an investigation.
"They're not shouting at people in interviews because that's not what happens."
Marquess drew on technical advice too. "We're really close to Jackie Malton, one of the top woman officers in the UK, who was the model for Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect. She was also a story consultant on The Bill.
"What I'm hoping is that our very human cops give our show a chance of some longevity."
With a strong cast, including Cold Feet's Fay Ripley, Being Human's Damien Molony and Clare-Hope Ashitey, this 10-week series tells the story of an inner-city London nick, and the approaches of the three detectives to solving serious crime.
Each of the episodes is a self-contained story which starts with a news report about the crime.
Described as "hard hitting" and "contemporary", the episodes are certainly that.
In the first week we are dealing with the abduction of a young boy. In later episodes we have the gang-rape of a 13-year-old girl, the shooting of a popular clergyman, a fatal arson attack and the abduction of a two-year-old girl.
The idea for the series was first floated eight years ago but finally found a home on Channel 5, which has carried it off with what is described as a "reasonable" budget.
The challenges of the budget are not evident on the screen however. What you actually notice is a police drama told like a documentary, with handheld cameras and an improvised script. It can be unrelenting but at times you actually feel like you're in the interview room with the "suspects".
Ripley plays DI Martha Bellamy, who is described as "strong minded" and a woman with "vivid opinions". The actress is typically forthright about being approached for the role, her first as a police officer.
"I thought it was an awful idea initially! It's slightly uncharted territory here. There was a certain amount of risk in taking this job, a kind of trusting too because the producers hadn't done this sort of thing before. You just had to go with it.
"What changed my mind was the casting of my two co-stars and seeing the storylines. If you're going to pick out the one thing in the news that I'm interested in, that was what they did.
"I tend not to pick projects that are conventional and I quite like thinking outside the box. For many years I've been trying to avoid things that are dull.
We had a different job to do here. I think it is more real what we have done
This is not. This feels contemporary and, on a selfish level, I want Channel 5 to do more drama."
But it had its "challenges", she admits. "This was not easy to make because we were doing things in a different way. Some days you were thinking, 'This is not going to pay off!' We shot it very quickly, in real police hours, in the sense that we worked ourselves into the ground. We shot that first episode in two days. On other productions it would take two weeks."
She jokes: "Put it this way, I felt as overworked as the person I was playing. And when you have that lanyard around your neck saying you're the boss, I felt like arresting some people in Sainsbury's for queue jumping."
Ripley even felt like a real police officer when interviewing suspects.
"My approach was that I tried to be as logical as possible, which is like a police person. In the middle of a scene I would sometimes shout out to the adviser, 'Can I say that?'
"The hardest thing was trying not to be biased but because the storylines are so fresh to us I sometimes didn't know, or forgot, who had done it.
It was like being in a goldfish bowl because you were just moving on to the next case."
RIPLEY agrees this, unlike other police dramas, doesn't focus so much on the character of the officers. "We had a different job to do here. I think it is more real what we have done. You do have emotional days as a police officer but you're doing a bloody job. You have to find the killer or the abducted girl. You have to get on with it.
"If you are crying at lunchtime you wouldn't have time to do your job. It was fast and furious. Information overload but that's exactly what a police team are up against when dealing with the kind of serious crimes that this show tackles," she says.
"So once I finally stopped whingeing, I could crack on with arresting everyone I didn't like the look of," Ripley laughs.
Suspects, Channel 5, Wednesday, 10pm

Dear clients, friends and family,
As promised, here is Day Two of the Core Conditioning program. Hopefully, you have mastered Day One and are ready for some new exercises. Practice these and Day Three will come on Monday.
As a reminder, your core is not just your abdominal region. It includes all layers of the abdominal musculature (deep and superficial including the external/internal obliques, rectus abdominus and transverse abdominus), the muscles surrounding the spine on the posterior side of the body, the hips and glutes, and the pelvic area. So this 6 day core conditioning program will address all of these areas and include movements and exercises in a variety of planes and angles.
Remember, when you have a strong core, that strength radiates out to the rest of your body and you will move with more grace, power, efficiency and be less likely to get injured.
Day Two Exercises include:
• Bridging – variable contractile speeds
• Alternating Oblique Crunch
• Hinge Crunch
• Torso rotation knee drops side to side
Here's the video clip so you can follow along.
Here's a direct link if you can't see the video above…
Yours in health and fitness,
Sherri McMillan
ps. Practice these moves over the next few days and stay tuned for Day 3 coming on Monday.

MONROE, La. (AP) Kolton Browning returned from a foot injury to throw for 324 yards and three touchdowns as Louisiana-Monroe defeated North Texas 42-16 Saturday to earn its first winning season as a Football Bowl Subdivision team.
Browning completed 25 of 34 passes for the Warhawks (7-4, 5-2 Sun Belt Conference), whose record is the program's best since going 9-3 in 1993.
Wide receiver Je'Ron Hamm caught seven of Browning's passes for a career-high 119 yards, including fourth-quarter touchdowns of 24 and 61 yards that stretched the lead to 35-10.
Brent Leonard had eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown for the Warhawks, who had lost their previous two games after winning five straight.
Derek Thompson completed 27 of 43 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns for the Mean Green (4-7, 3-4), with Carlos Harris catching eight for 118 yards.
The teams combined for 985 yards total offense.
