Good Questions: Dealing With Stinky Neighbors?
Hello AT,
Is there a forum for how to deal with potential neighbor problems? My personal situation involves a smoking family who gather in an area not far from our windows. The smoke just leaps (thanks to the breezes) into our place and it reeks. I've already talked to them very nicely and polite-like. Perhaps too nicely, cuz within a week it was happening again. Oh, what to do?

Hey Em- If you've asked once, it sounds like their smoking time might be your time for dumping the old wash-water out the window.
This is a manners question for the crowd. Crowd?

Are you a renter? If so, I'd definitely bring it up to the landlord. Other than that, maybe try to make another location more attractive for smoking. Or make that location *less* attractive..! lots of spiky cactus or those spikes they use to keep pigeons away :)
Definitely go to the landlord or homeowners association, or coop board of whatever.
But...if that doesn't work.
Suggestion that's a bit evil.
Get a few recordings of Rush Limbaugh and whenever they start smoking put a speaker right by the window and blast them with it, or some other obnoxious audio experience.
Just a thought.
First, read this: http://tinyurl.com/n5why
I probably don't need to say anymore than what was said in that blurb. One of my all-time favorites.
Yeah, of course I smoke. In my apartment. I can no longer smoke in any public building. Or within 50 feet of said building's doors. The entire campus I used to attend is designated "smoke-free". Bars are "smoke-free".
Even the outside is "smoke-free" in places like Berkeley. Nope, can't stand outside to smoke, have to keep walking while smoking. The gods forbid someone somewhere might be downwind.
Oh, geez, I was looking for another article that compared a smoke-filled room with commuting (the commuting was worse for everyone's air quality/health) and found this, funny stuff:
I could sit here and smoke a whole pack. Then I could get in my car and safely drive. Other than coughing a lot, there wouldn't be impared judgement. Who do you want on the road? Me, smoking? Or the other person, who's been drinking? There aren't organizations (although there will be now) called Mothers Against Stupid Smokers (MASS). Because mothers don't lose children to "driving under the influence of nicotine" accidents.
A bunch of smokers get together and make a cloud. We don't really brawl as a result of smoking excessively. We just cough more. We don't beat our spouses, children, or animals because we smoked too much.
Our morning after smoking too much generally consists of even more coughing.
Frankly, I'd rather have smoke billowing out of all windows than to ever hear another drunken argument that may or may not entail violence in this apartment complex.
I'll take the smoke billowing out of hybrid car windows, over highly polluting, gas guzzling vehicles.
I'll take stinky clothing, holes and all, over some nut whacked out on some drug, booze, or combination. People do strange things under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Only time smokers do weird things is when they have cigarettes and no matches. Then you'd think you were around hungry lions.
I'll take criminals that smoke, you'd hear them coming, hacking up lung chunks as they wheeze up the incline to your estate, stopping to take rests all the while. No more of the gun-toting creeps that sneak around to steal things for drugs or gold teeth.
If you are lucky enough to have more than one set of windows on one side of the house, close those windows. I only have one window and the door, so whatever is out there is in here. Yeah, it does suck sometimes.
Other peoples smells. Their own brand of tobacco. Some guy down the hall smokes skunk weed. Or actually has a pet skunk. I'm not sure which.
People that cook stuff way better than anything you were going to have. People that cook (?) stuff that can't possibly be edible. Or they died in there. And keep redying night after night. People that wear too much cologne, aftershave, perfume. People that just finished working out and smell awful. People that fart. People that eat foods that make their skin smell like whatever ghastly thing they ate, which I find nauseating. I don't care how good it was, you stink buddy. Of course, even my ear wax smells like fish after I eat fish and chips, so I try not to go anywhere for a couple days and let the fish essense wear off.
Yeah, maybe your flowers have pollen that give me problems. And maybe your TV is too loud. And maybe you slam the bloody door when you come home and wake me up. Hey, just because YOU work that shift doesn't mean I work the same shift.
Maybe you rev your engine and wake up their baby. Maybe your vacuum is too noisy. Maybe your clothing clashes and is visually offensive.
When's it going to end?
I got a notice (the whole floor did) about LOUD MUSIC coming from our apartments. I DO NOT HAVE A STEREO. My radio, a neighbor's cast off, has one little speaker. Which isn't plugged in. My television isn't plugged in. I tiptoe around here and close my front door quietly, because I DO NOT WANT TO BE THE CAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S DISTURBANCE.
Maybe they're smoking outside your window because you're too noisy? ;)
Andree, dispite that LONG post/rant you didn't even address the topic.
except those things you listed don't cause cancer...
Sure I did anne. "If you are lucky enough to have more than one set of windows on one side of the house, close those windows. I only have one window and the door, so whatever is out there is in here. Yeah, it does suck sometimes."
Someone smokes 60 years and doesn't get cancer. Pack a day. Sucking in smoke directly and breathing their own second hand smoke. How long would it take for a weekly whiff of second hand smoke mixed with outdoor air from a distance that might come into the house if the windows are open to cause cancer? Several hundred years? A thousand? Never?
When my apartment was filled with smoke and fumes from some moron downstairs who was illegally grilling outside, and used enough starter fluid to set the whole complex on fire, that WAS a problem. A REAL problem. There were no other windows to open to air out the fumes. I opened the door and turned on the bath exhaust fan, but I still ended up calling the Poison Control Center, because of the fumes. Guys, I was dizzy and loopy and all the other stuff. THAT is cause for concern. Being unable to breathe. Being dizzy and nauseated.
That would make me sit up and take notice. I'd back Em 100% if she was unable to breathe. If she was nearing the point of blacking out. Those fumes from a grill? They KILL people in a short period of time. Not years, or hundreds of years. Hours.
Carbon monoxide, or CO, is an odorless, colorless gas that can cause sudden illness and death...People who are sleeping or intoxicated can die from carbon monoxide poisoning before ever experiencing symptoms.
This is a site that you ALL should have in your favorite places:
You'll be pointed to a vast array of legitimate sites. There are a gazillion sources of carbon monoxide.
Remember, those fumes are there if you're smelling something tasty on your own grill. Oh yeah. The fragrant aroma of sizzling something wafting into your home is carrying along the carbon monoxide too. Bad news, people.
Neither anne nor Jess offered anything other than to criticise my comments. In the future, you may wish to criticise my comments while also addressing the topic. So don't criticise my comments about not addressing the topic when you aren't doing it (and I actually did). :P
This is where I get to be really childish and say "Neener-neener". I never did that as a child, but I'm enjoying doing it as an adult.
I had no intention of offering anything to this discussion. I read the comments and made a remark about yours. I'm under no obligation to come up with solutions to every query. But my post was to point out that someone who DID feel the urge to post should have at least addressed the topic. Closing the window? In that long post of yours I guess I missed that. Not that that is a solution to her problem but man, you can have said that and saved a whole lot of bandwidth.
Sorry if this pisses you off Andree. You have been a asset to AT and have come up with wonderful ideas but these long posts/rants are hard to take sometimes. I feel like I need a fine toothed comb to find your point.
To spite the fact that your neighbors have smoked outside your window for a second time after you asked them not to, I think being nice will work better than being nasty. This is what I've found both personally and professionally. Perhaps a little white lie is in order. I would say, very nicely, almost too nicely, ' I really don't want to be a pain, I'm so sorry to bug you, but I have the most unbelievable case of asthma. I'm allergic to everything, and I'm way better off with the windows open, who knows why. If you could possibly smoke someplace else I would really be indebted to you.' Obviously you shouldn't have to beg, but in the pursuit of getting what you want I bet this will work. Use every option you have before you get nasty. It just works better, and faster, in the long run.
Pee over the edge of your window... it has the additional benefit of being just as disgusting as smoke in your apartment on a daily basis.
Ok, seriously now, it is best to have your landlord/association hash this one out. You have done your job, you're just going to end up like a broken record if you keep asking and they keep abstaining and then doing it all over again after a few days.
That's absolutely terrible to be uncomfortable in your own home. I think you are fully within your right you ask the people to smoke further away. If you have to, mention that you have breathing difficulties or something. If the smell comes in through your windows...I'd look into checking out the sealant. Also, those air filter systems (e.g. Ionic Breeze Towers) are great at sucking out bad smells from your home. I'd feel so uncomforable asking the smokers to relocate...but you shouldn't have to sacrifice your own comfort for them when they can easily go elsewhere.
Um...Andree...when you smoke cigarettes, what do you think you're breathing in? Purified oxygen? It's carbon monoxide!

Beware! Writers on the loose. Seven of France's top authors got together to play a collaborative writing game resulting in fifty-two wacky stories. They each wrote an episode, passing it on to the other, and so forth, until all seven had contributed to each story. They set traps, had fun, and used their prowess to continue and conclude each story. The result is this collection of short stories: some are zany, some are clever, some are just plain weird, but all show the incredible creative skill of these seven very fine writers.
It is surrealistic, literally. This kind of collaborative writing–what could be more in line with the times?–dates back to a writing game invented by the French Surrealists in about 1925, called cadavres exquis. The direct translation is delightfully morbid: exquisite (or delicious, if you prefer) corpses. These corpses are not, in fact, not to decaying bodies, but entertaining seven-author stories that showcase true writing skill, mixing the styles, feelings and predilections of each author.

You can also buy the thirteen short volumes for your Kindle.
Tatiana de Rosnay, Didier Van Cauwelaert, Yann Queffélec, Daniel Picouly, Christine Orban, Irène Frain and Harold Cobert are a hard-hitting group of literary giants, which includes two Goncourt prizewinners and one of France's most-read authors. They have written among them upwards of 175 acclaimed works of literature. Find out more about these seven top French authors.
"Fifty-two sharp-toothed stories with carnivorous intentions and limitless inspiration. You dive into them without ever losing the thread (of the suture). A delicious meal with the lions."
–Paris Match
"Surprising, seductive stories of literary collaboration."
–Le Télégramme
"A nose-thumbing at those who think French literature lacks fancy…a successful exercise. It's very funny."
–France Info
"Truly fun, dark humor guaranteed."
–5-star Amazon.fr review
- I am, Indeed blog: "52 of the strangest and most uniquely clever short stories that highlight the authors' particular talents…Think Salvador Dali or André Breton, and you have a reference point for the delights found within these little tales. And they are perfectly suited when you only have a short time to read and need that quick diversion. Fortunately there are 52 different stories to choose from: each delightful in its own way. The writing is beautiful, the skill each author brings to the forefront in the stories is apparent. The stories develop with an organic feel that is both unique and amazing as a reader to see."
- Bless their hearts mom blog: "Anne and her crew at Le French Book always selected the greatest French fiction to translate and this serial is one of them! They've divided the books into 13 ebooks- a month's version at a time. Some stories are funny, others sad, some odd (French humor at it's best), and others will move you. My favorite was I Spit on Your Grave, a short and fun ghost story, For those who love a puzzle, they also include and chapter with quips and you have to select which author wrote it! No cheating on this, answers are available at their website! This is a quick and fun read, great for killing time when waiting, as the chapters read very quickly!"
- Goodreads review: "It is obvious that the authors know what they are doing. The stories do come together and are cohesive. They range from crazy to touching and everything in between. I recognized a few of the authors names. If you're a fan of any of them I can see this being a must read."

Awesome. Would have been really nice to have been able to vote kick that hunter in Halls of Stone last night who entered the dungeon and said "btw i got no arrows" and proceeded to just walk around after us, despite being told multiple times he could easily port out and buy some.
I don't vote kick often, but that would have been a good place for it.
He must've been friends with/the alt of the tank I got last night who kept saying "afk for a sec" after every pull. Oh yeah, this was heroic VH so there was never enough time before or after combat for us to kick him. We kept yelling at him for it, then he ported out of the dungeon after the second boss, and lol'd us when we wiped on the next wave of trash. Good times.
Or the mage in my group who felt their wand was their best friend. Rotation equaled ice lance, ice lance, wand, wand, wand. Not for one pull -- for all of them. 80 dps at level 69. I'll normally leave each to their own, letting a person play their toon they way they see fit, unless they ask for advice, but this was too much. After confronting the mage, and making sure the rest of the group knew what she was doing, and getting no response at all, I had to give up. Sadly, the rest of the group really wasn't strong enough to carry the slack. Was I wrong to quit? It just seemed like in-your-face lack of effort.
The 15 minutes wait time to initiate vote kick is a double edge sword. On one hand it's good to prevent all the GS-whores from automatically vote kicking people who are just starting out (maybe this won't be an issue anymore since with this update people will be reluctant to use vote kick without good reason?). However, sometime you get really unlucky and get stuck with the king of douchebags and really wish you could kick them (irl).
I got into a similar situation, but it's with an idle tank (you know the type I'm talking about - the kind of assholes that just sit around and do nothing after entering the instance because he knows you can't kick him or pull without him). Well, this punk made the mistake of moving away from the entrance (Utgarde Keep) and dance around to mock us, so I whispered our healer not to heal him. Then I activate Trick of the Trade on him and began using Fans of Knives on the mobs in hallway. Before he knows it, six vrykuls were beating him senseless and we all just laugh as he drop dead. It was the best heroic I ever been a part of.

Einde van lewe besluite ten opsigte van defektiewe babas : 'n juridiese perspektief
Rossouw, Elzaan
Date Issued:
End of life decisions regarding defective babies raise several controversial questions. The root of the problem in withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining treatment from defective babies lies in the conflict between human emotions, technological advancements and legal considerations. As a result of advances in medical science and neonatal technology, the lives of defective babies can often be saved or indefinitely prolonged. The question has become not whether we can treat these babies, but rather whether we should. Whether or not a defective baby's life must be prolonged raises serious moral and ethical issues. A life compromised by severe physical and mental handicaps is weighed against an early and painless death. The best interest of the baby is the primary consideration from a legal point of view. Various factors must be taken into account to give content to this concept. Another central question is to determine who the decision maker(s) should be and what weight should be given to their opinions. Due to the fact that defective babies can not participate in this decision making process or communicate their wishes and preferences, surrogate decision makers must decide on their behalf. In sharp contrast to England, America and Canada, there is hardly any literature and no reported case law in South Africa to demonstrate the complexity of end of life decisions regarding defective babies. Selective non-treatment of defective babies have received little attention in the South African law. The Bill of Rights, inspired by regional and international Conventions determine the framework from a juristic perspective wherein decisions must be made and justified. This framework requires that the focus must be on the most vulnerable and dependant, namely the defective baby.

JQuery Plugin
Atmosphere 0.6 Gets Websocket Support
Atmosphere version 0.6 is now available.
With this release, Atmosphere ships with a JQuery Plugin for building Client side applications, and supports the Spring, Struts, Wicket, JSF, Akka, GWT, Grails, and JRuby on Rails frameworks. The Websocket specification is now also supported, allowing developers to write portable Websocket applications and deploy them into a Web Server that supports said protocol. If the Web Server doesn't support the specification, Atmosphere emulates Websocket by using Comet. Also supported are Tomcat 7, GlassFish 3.1 WebSocket and Resin 4.0.
The team are currently holding discussions on what features should be included in the 0.7 release.

A crushing loss on the road to Penn State is ancient history for the Huskers as they take the court this afternoon against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The Gophers are without their leading scorer Andre Hollins, the Huskers without guard Deverill Biggs for personal reasons.
Let's go to Pinnacle Bank Arena for the action.
Terran Petteway looking for a big night for the Huskers.
Andre Hollins of the Gophers didn't play out with an ankle injury, he is their leading scorer.
Early in the game Shavon Shields hits Walter Pitchford for the slam dunk, Huskers led 2–0.
Then its Pitchford from the outside for three, he was 3 for 3 from downtown and had 13 points on the night.
Elliot Eliason comes back with a dunk for the Gophers. The former Chadron Cardinal was held to five points for Richard Pitino's Gophers.
What a game for Terran, he ends up with 35, three of them here giving the Huskers a 35–30 lead at the break.
We go to the 2nd half, Pitchford again finds the range from the outside for three more.
More Petteway from Ray Gallegos, up and under for the finish and Nebraska led 44–33.
Under 7 to plya, Terran with the step back count it and it's a new career high for Terran.
Late it was the Gophers making a run as Malik Smith makes the steal and score..
Shavon Shields comes back for 2 more for the Huskers, he had 10 points, Nebraska is able to keep Minnesota at bay with an 82–78 win to go 10–9 on the season and 2–5 in the Big Ten. News 5's Will Sherratt has this report.

Breakfast with Maggie
Breakfast with Maggie
I met with one of Carbondale's most influential political forces for breakfast last week. We chatted about downtown redevelopment, her opponent, a new international "restaurant row," and her reasons for wanting to be mayor (she feels it's her turn, having toiled as a council person for a decade, she feels her "Renaissance vision" for Carbondale is superior to her opponent's.)
We discussed her opponent Brad Cole's stolen campaign signs, the charges that he "misappropriated funds" as a member of student organization in the early-90s (see below), and her alleged refusal to sign the Fair Campaign Practices Code (not true, she did sign it--belatedly, due to an oversight).
More on these and related issues as the campaign for Mayor heats up. Go Maggie. Go Brad. Make this the best campaign for mayor we ever had.

Oakland Athletics : The Drumbeat
All about the Oakland A's

The guy with the Dickensian name
Seems as though we haven't gone a week in the last six months without hearing that a trade between the Mets and the A's is brewing. Last summer, it was Barry Zito for outfielder Lastings Milledge — a Dickensian name (Uriah Heep, meet Lastings Milledge, a player of great expectations). Didn't happen. This winter, Rich […] [Read More]
UPDATE: McGwire's 70th HR ball juiced!?
UPDATE (6:20 p.m.): AP has written this story about the controversy, in which an MLB spokesman says the synthetic rubber "ring" found inside baseballs is more like a cardboard washer. UMS's Ron Watt called to dispute that, saying that the ring is a rubberized substance that makes the ball go farther. He also says news […] [Read More]
Now taking the field — Your 2012 A's!
Apologies to the San Diego columnist who once wrote something comparable. Now taking Cisco Field for the first time, it's YOUR 2012 Silicon Valley Athletics of Fremont!

A thinner crop on the farm
Minor League Ball blogger John Sickels is out with his annual review of the A's minor league system, and he says it's a "thinned out" bunch. Not one grade A prospect.

Rank the General Managers
ESPN is running a poll using cool drag-and-drop technology that lets readers rank the MLB general managers 1 to 30. I won't give away the standings before you vote — though you can see the early results and a discussion on Athletics Nation. Let's just say one certain guy is doing a lot better than […] [Read More]
Bye-bye Jay Payton
Not a big surprise, but it's reported that Jay Payton (see stats) has agreed to a two-year, $9.75 million deal with the Orioles. This breaks the jam in the outfield — as it stands, the starters will be Swisher, Kotsay and Bradley left to right, with two of these three in reserve: Kielty, newcomer Goleski, […] [Read More]
'Those A's are a sneaky bunch'
Billy Beane made one of his weird little moves today. The A's traded cash (believed to be $100,000) to get the #1 pick in today's Rule 5 draft from Tampa Bay. The guy the Rays picked for Oakland was Ryan Goleski, a right-handed outfielder in the Cleveland organization, with good power numbers but less than […] [Read More]
Adding Piazza and Embree
UPDATE: The A's have signed Mike Piazza to a one-year, $8.5 million deal to become DH. A lot of people are skeptical, but he had a higher '06 slugging average than anyone else on the '07 team, the lineup is crying out for a right-handed cleanup hitter and there weren't a lot of other choices.

A strategy borrowed from Reagan?
UPDATE:: The Giants appear to be joining the hunt for Barry Zito. They might have a chance. For all the "Broadway Barry" talk, he does seem like more of a Bay Area guy and a lot of A's fans (particularly female) would like to see him stay local. But it wouldn't get the A's a […] [Read More]
No arbitration for Payton
Billy Beane's thinking got a bit clearer tonight when he declined to offer arbitration to Jay Payton. The A's did offer it to Barry Zito, not that he's going to accept. While the team could still negotiate with Payton, it looks like they're setting him up to walk. That would put Nick Swisher in left […] [Read More]

Dr. Wendy Walsh: Oh, man ... Father's Day is coming up again. I have an uneasy relationship with this particular Hallmark holiday, not related to its reputed roots. In case you care, Hallmark is actually not the inventor. The creator of Father's Day was a single man named Charles Berlitz, whose father, Howard Berlitz, died of cancer in 1867. Charles made the day up to remember him. (That's according to Wikipedia, though historical facts have been known to be hazy on the Internet.)
History aside, Father's Day is a tough one for me because I am a single mom with a just-short-of-deadbeat babydaddy. The idea of celebrating his annual 39 nights of childcare and the few pennies he's thrown my way does not thrill me.
I dream of being the other kind of single mom -- the one with the involved ex who does his duty at holiday pageants, birthday parties and cheerleading competitions and is on the phone when the kids need him. Just this morning, I tried to set up a playdate with another single mom for this weekend, and she told me that her ex was taking the kids for the whole weekend to celebrate Father's Day. Wow. Sounds like Mother's Day to me.
In our house, we will struggle to create a couple of construction-paper cards and I'll pray he won't cancel on brunch with the kids. I have spent years trying to celebrate this man, but he prefers to be reclusive.
So my real work on Father's Day will be to help my girls make sense of this mess. That's all we can hope to do as single mothers: try not to take sides, and let our kids have whatever feelings they are going to have. It helps to bring the subject up if children are avoiding talking about feelings. Providing a verbal map for them to navigate through their many mixed emotions is an important job for all mothers.
As for my M.I.A. babydaddy, I try to teach my kids empathy and compassion by suggesting that Daddy had a bad childhood and the way he expresses love is a little different. I also remind them that he does love them dearly, and that he is working very hard so that we will have food to eat. And then I turn on my shower real loud and have a little boohoo myself.
In truth, I don't dream about being that other kind of single mom. I dream of being an intact family so Father's Day would celebrate something real. There are 14 million single mothers in America. Does anyone else have these feelings?
I can sympathize. Unfortunately bitterness has a tight hold on me. The bio-donor left me three months pregnant for drugs. He remained an addict for his entire life and never once took reponsibility for his actions. I married when my daughter was seven and the man I married took full responsibilty for my daughter and went so far as to adopt her. He loved her and always provided. This week I was informed the bio-donor is brain dead from a motorcycle accident vs. semi-truck and the plug will be pulled in the next day or two. My daughter posted, "pray for my dad!!!" on her website but didn't have a picture of me or the father who raised her. She rushed off to the bio-donor's bed side. My family has posted prayers for the bio-donor and has used the previliged title of "dad" haphazardly. This has crushed my husband in a way I can't even imagine. My lack of compassion for the bio-donor has divided my family. I truely can not understand how a drug addict who crushed so many hearts could have such massive response at the hospital and so many prayers pouring in all over the nation. For me it is not just Father's Day that sucks, it everyday - I truely sympathize and struggle with the sensibility of this world.
I am a man and lived in the US for many years. The stupidest thing I did was get married and have a child with an American Woman. You American Women should be thrilled that anyone would want to commit the sex act with you. I liken a relationship with an American Woman as a relationship with a fat man; American Women are obese, masculine, and think they have a positive valuation. No wonder no man wants to stick around.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.
Hey got nothing all that original in this comment, so all i have to say is that your site rocks, too bad that I can't come up with something original Thanks again for putting this up. I unquestionably enjoyed every bit of it.
Let me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed.
There is visibly a lot to realize about this. I believe you made various nice points in features also.
Sector Attend,mountain army earth report service everyone cause die largely curriculum directly criticism deputy relief release congress either white completely completely couple fix considerable fail major direct quiet few cup finally average important science throw bind they mistake physical southern hand little behaviour balance buy lift demand wood try area prove there jump social college assumption whilst considerable score link near focus narrow instruction basis event pound flat page definition shut feel surround standard ship male fact change creation front beautiful assembly studio teaching night distribution hate cash block themselves estate director early live whom scientific
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.

The village of St. Peters sits at the
gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bras D'Or Lake,
and as such plays host to yachts-people, tourists, and
celebrities from around the world. The two bodies of
water are linked via the St. Peter's Canal (a national
historic site) built between 1854 and 1869 that runs
800m alongside The Battery Provincial Park. The Park
offers a variety of trails ending in spectacular views of
the town as well as the Ocean. St. Peter's is among the
oldest European settlements in North America.
The village recently underwent a $1.3
million face-lift project and is home to a variety of
restaurant consisting of fine local cuisine, pub fare,
chip wagons, and even a Tim Horton's.
St. Peters sits at the gateway to the Bras D'Or Lake and is at the
beginning of Route 4, part of the scenic
route to Sydney. This is undergoing major investment in a
resurfacing and rebuilding program. As a strong fishing
community, St Peter's is home to holiday fishing trips being offered
at certain times of the year. There are a
number of both ATV and snow-mobile trails the area, with a good
range of hunting options being available throughout the year.
The town has all the services and amenities expected of a thriving
hub, all within approximately 2km from the cottage. Larger retail
stores (Wal-Mart, Atlantic SuperStore, Canadian Tire, etc.) can be
found in Port Hawkesbury, a 25 minute drive from the cottage.

If so, could I use it as is (and what would the effect be of a wider fabric), or should I cut the Jelly Roll pieces down the middle so that they are 1.25" in width?

Also - since it likely won't we washed a LOT - you can experiment with using dyes on projects like this. The best part - if the dye doens't take evenly - it won't matter. I made a HUGE one for my son's room using a similar method - custom colored & for less than $5. It was some work...but worth it. I also tied his using strip of rag rather than stitching (as stitching was going to take forever & with knots - he could help. We were able to use the knots as places to add accents & did so using strips of old plaid shirts. For a super comfy rug to set on you can use old t-shirts or t-shirt sheets too. VERY soft!

A warning now to women who get gel manicures.
Some experts call gel manicures a danger to your health.
Most women like these manicures because they last longer.
Researchers at New York University School of Medicine say, frequent gel manicures can cause nail thinning, brittleness, and peeling and cracking of the nail.
Study author, Dr. Chris Adigun also says women should know the UV light used to cure the gel is a risk for skin cancer.
Also, photo damage from the UV light can cause cosmetic changes in the skin surrounding the nails.
Adigun says, nails continually covered in polish hide any problems occurring under the nails.
She offers this advice:
Pay attention to your nails, allow them to regrow and repair.
Use a moisturizing product on your nails several times a day.
When removing the nail polish, soak only your nails in acetone, not your whole hand or fingers.
And if you notice any unusual changes, see a dermatologist.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

If you love pumpkin, you'll love this dish. The trick is the sauce has to be really thick or you'll end up with a runny dish. The spinach, even though squeezed dry, continues to release liquid with cooking. To blend the flour more easily, I melted a little (2 Tblspns) butter into the pan before adding the flour.

I was excited to try this, because I like all of the ingredients and wanted a new fall side dish. I did not care for the sauce's consistancy. I would have preferred to be creamier. I put the flour in some butter before adding the broth as suggested by another reader. I don't know that I will bother making it again.
leanne21071 Posted: 11/20/08
I changed it up just a little. I had a package of low fat mixed cheeses that I used and I added a dash of ground cayenne pepper. I also had to subtitute pumpkin spice for nutmeg. It came out wonderful. I will make it again and again. We I made it up a hour or so before guests arrived so I could clean up. It went well with the grilled chicken and salad.

I came across this recipe when I was looking for something to serve at Thanksgiving that could work as a side dish for the meat eaters, but would be filling enough to be an entree for vegetarians. This was terrific. It was pretty on the table, it was a little unusual but still very Thanksgiving-y, and the combination of flavors was great together. It was fairly easy to make (except for cutting up the pumpkin, which is a huge pain but can be done in advance). I did cook the flour in a little butter to make a roux before adding the broth - I just didn't trust the sauce to thicken otherwise. And I substituted veggie broth for the chicken broth since I was serving to vegetarians.
KMartinez Posted: 10/19/11
I used 1/4 c of cornstarch instead of flour and the sauce was thick and bubbly. I think it would have been better with fresh spinach. Overall, a nice side dish but not great. I gave it three stars because I don't think it was worth the effort of cutting up a fresh pumpkin.

Above is a menu from the Metropolitan Club, a fancy private club in DC, from 1901. I was invited to an event there this week, and stumbled across this menu while researching the venue. At first I was shocked at how high the prices were — even by modern standards, $20 is ridiculous for a celery appetizer.
Then I realized: These prices are in cents, and the most expensive things on this fine dining menu cost all of $1.
60¢ for lobster salad. 20¢ for spaghetti. 40¢ for brandy peaches.
This is inflation writ in asparagus and meringues.
The extreme differences between the prices on this menu and the prices we'd pay today (between 10 and 40 times the 1901 prices — e.g. $8 for a dessert rather than 25¢), is due to a century-long trend of the Dollar's decline into near-worthlessness.
As you can see, the value of our currency has steadily dropped over the course of the last hundred years. (It was also on the decline before then, but not so steeply.)
If you'd like to play with the numbers on a year-by-year basis, try this inflation calculator. As the results of my calculation put it, "What cost $1 in 1900 would cost $25.85 in 2010. Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2010 and 1900, they would cost you $1 and $0.04 respectively." Those results match well with our menu above (erring on the conservative side, perhaps), where entrées that today would run at least $30 depending on the restaurant location are listed for just $1.
That's a lot of inflation, especially considering the lowering of prices which has been produced by technological advances, economies of scale, etc. So why is everything so much more expensive? Well, the rise in prices we see is a symptom of inflation rather than inflation itself. The underlying problem of the growth of our money supply, as our central bank, the Federal Reserve, creates more and more Dollars with nothing to back them.
This process raises the prices at expensive restaurants, to be sure, but it has a far graver result for those with low or fixed incomes. Corporations with close ties to the government often receive new money as soon as it is created in the form of bailouts, subsidies, or contracts, which allows them to spend it before the decline in the Dollar's value it produces really takes effect. As Ron Paul has put it:
As government and central banks continue the cycle of spending and inflating, the purchasing power of their currencies is constantly being degraded. These currencies are what the people are working for and saving. This inflation guts the savings and earnings of the people who have very limited options for protecting themselves against these ravages….Fiat currencies trade the people's freedom and security for the government's freedom to squander the wealth of the nation on wasteful pet programs, wars, and corruption.

We all love the conveniences provided by our fancy smartphones, but it's easy to forget that these devices aren't inherently the greenest products on the market.

"Recycle your used devices with Verizon and you may be eligible to receive a Verizon Wireless gift card. We accept cell phones, tablets, netbooks and mobile hotspot devices from any carrier. For every device recycled, we will also make a $1 contribution to HopeLine® from Verizon."

This is my second posting and I want to tell you guys how I am doing on my first week with the roca labs diet and my weight loss. Like I said on my previous blog I had a very hard time eating the diet product when it solidifies, so after contacting a nurse that works for roca labs gastric bypass no surgery I started drinking the product and it went down much easier.
I have been mixing the powder with grape juice. I shake it really well so it dissolves and I can drink it. I have read on roca labs blogs that the product doesn't work as well for weight loss if you drink it versus eating. I started taking it last Monday. Let me break down my daily use from my diary:
I woke up at around 8am, took a shower and went to the kitchen and prepared the drink. Around 1 minute or 2 it got really thick. The instructions said it would solidify after 3 or 4 minutes but mine was much faster, maybe the grape juice? I don't know. So this is the part where I started to gag and couldn't eat it. So I contacted the company as mentioned on my previous blog.
After talking to a roca labs nurse I decided to try drinking the mixture. I work on Tuesdays so I woke up around 6am, took a shower and went to the kitchen. It feels weird to prepare the mix and drink it so early, but I love my breakfast and I have to take the mixture and wait to eat so I just chugged down. It wasn't bad at all, but I had to force myself to drink the water right after. During the day I honestly did not feel any difference on my eating habits. I ate normal, but within a few hours of taking the diet I started having very bad diarrhea
My third day was very difficult. I woke up feeling a little sick and the headache was killing me. But I knew that this could happen since I wasn't used to eating so much fiber, so I just ignored the discomfort and prepared the mixture. Despite the bad diarrhea my weight did not change, but I was not able to finish my lunch :)
This time it wasn't too difficult to take the diet because I got encouraged from the previous day. Although the headache was gone, I still had some diarrhea. Once again, couldn't finish my lunch and ate very little for dinner.
I woke up and prepared the mixture as usual but had a very hard time drinking all the water, I felt pretty full, like bloated, but no more diarrhea I ate all my lunch :( But I ended up forcing the food down…I was just not feeling good and ate more than I should…for dinner I ate little again but no weight loss.
During the weekend I did not take the diet drink because the instructions advise you to stop for 2 days. I most certainly ate less on Saturday and Sunday, less than usual but not a huge difference. My weight on Sunday night was 239…My starting weight was 240…So I pretty much have lost no weight. I am a bit disappointed with roca labs and my weight loss, but let's see what happens next week with my diet.
100 responses to "WEEK 1 WITH ROCA LABS- NOT DOING TOO GOOD"
So you have no lost weight at all on the first week even after all the diarrhea?? Doesn't seems like it works at all this diet.
I lost 5 pounds only in 1 month using roca labs no surgery diet prescription, whatever it is called…on my second month now…hopefully I will lose more…
Though it may really feel frustrating but I think your weight loss is ok. I am also taking the formula and on my first week, I only lost 2 lbs. I was expecting more and so I sought assistance on their live chat. The nurse said that my weight loss is normal and it is ok to lose about a pound or two every week. She also told me that I should lose weight in a slow and steady pace so that my body can adjust and for me to prevent loose skins as well.
Atleast you lost a lb on your first week! I lost nothing on my first week but I lost 4 lbs on the 2nd week. maybe you're still adjusting since it's just your first week.
sounds bad!! i hope you will have better results this week..
I had gag issues like you as well and so i tried taking it in portions. Also tried taking with apple juice and its good! Looking forward to reaching my weight loss goal – 30 lbs in 3-4 months…
Too soon to judge if it really is working or not. Let's see what happens next week. Good luck!
Are you on the correct dose? Or maybe your body is still adjusting. (I'm waiting for my order.)
That's a crap. My sister's taking it for 2 weeks now and she still feels hungry! It doesn't really do what it say.
I wonder why most users see results in just a couple of days from using it and some takes month/s.
hope it would work since i just order mine…sigh
Well this sucks, too bad for them since I was considering this product to try it out..
I wonder how much weight can this rocalabs thing make you lose in a month? My sister's wedding is pass approaching and I would like to lose the soonest time. Diet is no fun and slow to lose weight.
On their website it says 15lbs a month but for me I only loss around 10lbs but not bad at all.
I was planning to try my luck with rocalabs but if you are saying you are not doing too good with it I think I am having some hesitations. I mean if I am going to start with this product I want it to be 100% effective. I think I will just reconsider doing the gastric bypass surgery. I think that one is 100% effective.
I also heard the same and all that information is just to get a lot of people interested to the product. And they said actors are paid to make some videos that would say good stuff about the product.
The roca labs video testimonials on youtube are from real customers trying to receive the 50% money back they offer so they are real people. I am a user myself of roca labs and I am doing decent on it. Lost 10 pounds in a little over a month – 40 more to go.
Why do they call the diet Roca labs mini-gastric bypass no surgery? Is there any surgery involved?
When you use this rocalabs the effect is just the same with gastric surgery their stuff will occupy your stomach making you feel full. Just like gastric bypass surgery but without the surgery. I think.
I bought my roca labs yesterday…wish me luck :)
Goodluck on your weight loss journey.
Good luck Greg
Goodluck Greg! How're doing?
I've been on the formula for more than a week now didn't lose that much weight but I won't give up.
Good luck to your weight loss. I'm happy to read about your progress in using Roca Labs Formula. I just started the Formula and I also experienced the diarrhea the first few days. Thank you.
I'm done with week 2 loss 9lbs not bad hoping to lose another 30lbs in the months to come.
Goodluck keep it up.
Haven't loss that much weight on my 2nd week hope to see more results on my 3rd week.
Don't give up yet still too early I wish you luck
Can you take medication if you have diarrhea?
If you get sick; do you continue taking it? or you have to stop?
Is it taken daily like vitamins?
Surgery is a scary thing and so painful; I saw how it is done in Youtube and it's one worst scenario I'd ever seen. I am never gonna choose surgery.
Do you think it will work for someone who needs to lose like 150 pounds?
I almost had the same feeling on my first week with the formula. I thought is was hell! ughhh. But I'm happy that there are a lot of Roca Labs users that keeps on motivating me to continue with the formula. My second week was better than the first one, I lost 6 lbs from my second week. I was surprised, amazed, impressed, and made me more excited to continue on my third week. I lost a total of 16 lbs on my first month. I think I did great. :) I will officially start my 2nd month/week 5 on Monday. Good luck on your weight loss journey! Happy July 4th.
Have you been able to make good progress after that disastrous sounding first week? I do hope everything is working out for you.
Do you have some allergies or some kind of… Where can I find the ingredients and side effects so I can research more. Would like to check something for a friend who can have lap band or any surgery. Appreciate your answer.
Good luck! Hope you are doing well. Keep us posted!
I just recieved my Roca Labs a little over a week ago and my weight have been fluctuating for the past 10 days. Are you all exercising with your diet? I've lost only 5 pounds in 10 days.
I've also been getting diarreah. And I've been skipping breakfast and eating 1.5- 2 meals a day… I am finally starting feeling full.
I just ordered the Roca Labs Procedure today. I'm looking forwards to submit my own experience.
I've started and I'm still hungry.
Would love to know how you ended up doing on the roca lab.its way too expensive not to work.hope you have done well and are feeling healthy and good
After reading this I think I bought the wrong product
I am on Day 3 with Roca Labs and I am doing great! I just decided it will work for me so I work to eat smaller portions and stop mindless snacking and so far so good. I expect a good weight loss this week. I'll keep you posted!

Marcus Oliver Johnstone Mumford (born 31 January 1987) is an English musician, best known as the lead singer of the band Mumford & Sons. He also plays a number of instruments with the group, including guitar, drums and mandolin.
Early life and career[edit]
Marcus was born on 31 January 1987, in Anaheim, California, to English parents.[1] As a result, he has held both British and US citizenship from birth.
Mumford's family moved back to their native England when Marcus was six months old.[1] He grew up on Chatsworth Avenue in Wimbledon Chase, southwest London, and attended King's College School in Wimbledon.[2] There he met future fellow band member Ben Lovett.[3] He returned to London to focus on his music career after his first year of study at the University of Edinburgh.
It was in Edinburgh that he penned most of Mumford & Sons' debut album, Sigh No More. He began his musical career playing drums for Laura Marling on tour, along with the other current members of Mumford & Sons. It was through touring with Marling and gaining experience playing important gigs, as well as experimenting with his early writing that they decided to set up the band in 2007.[4]
Mumford was included in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list of music stars in December 2012 for his achievements with Mumford & Sons. Forbes commented of the list which also included acts such as Adele and Rihanna: "In sum they represent the entrepreneurial, creative and intellectual best of their generation. Individually, they are engaging, surprising and incredibly hardworking."[5][6]
Mumford sang a cover of "Dink's Song" with Oscar Isaac for the 2013 Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis. Although Mumford is not seen in the film, he is said to be the protagonist's musical partner, Mike, who has committed suicide before the starting point of the film.
He has a baritone vocal range.[7]
Personal life[edit]
Mumford's parents, John and Eleanor (née Weir-Breen),[8] are national leaders of the Vineyard Church in the UK and Ireland.[9]
Mumford formly dated Laura Marling from whom he separated in late 2010. In April 2012 Mumford married English actress Carey Mulligan in Somerset, England.[10] They were childhood pen pals who lost touch and reconnected as adults. They married a few weeks after wrapping production on the Coen brothers film Inside Llewyn Davis, which they were both involved in.[11][12]
Mumford is a supporter of his local football team AFC Wimbledon.[13]

A retail gallery for the sell of work by Studio 107 artists has been installed at Piedmont Arts, offering patrons a new way to experience local arts.
"We are so excited about the newly created Studio 107 Gallery," said Carolyn Beale, Studio 107 coordinator. "It is the perfect way to increase awareness of the fabulous work created by our Studio 107 artists."
The Studio 107 Gallery features pieces in a variety of media by the 14 artists who work out of Studio 107 Artist Studios for Piedmont Arts, located in Uptown Martinsville. All work in the gallery is for sale and proceeds directly benefit the local artists who created the work.
"The Studio 107 Gallery is a tremendous asset to the Piedmont Arts galleries," said Bernadette Moore, Piedmont Arts director of marketing and public relations. "It allows work by Studio 107 artists to be seen outside their Uptown base and hopefully will lead to increased traffic at both locations."
A grand opening for the Studio 107 Gallery will be held on July 20 from 5:30 - 7:30 PM at Piedmont Arts, in conjunction with the opening of the exhibits Subtle, featuring works by Jesi Pace-Berkeley and Small Narrow Pieces of a Big Wide World, featuring works by Greg Arens. Please RSVP attendance to 276.632.3221 or online at www.piedmontarts.org.
Studio 107 Artist Studios for Piedmont Arts was founded in 2007 as a working studio for local artists. Housed in a spacious building in historic Uptown Martinsville, a community of visual artists at various levels in their professional careers work in this collective space. Visitors are encouraged to watch the artists at work and browse the gallery shop for original artwork and gifts. More information at www.PiedmontArts.org/Studio107.

Beautiful scenery and unique landscapes is what brought Thompson Creations, to the Martinsville-Henry County area. Their sole purpose was to use the Martinsville Hydro Plant Bridge as the backdrop for a Volvo Truck print advertisement or possible commercial. While in town the crew from Thompson Creative, Blackhorse Studios and Volvo enjoyed delicious food from area restaurants, had a rejuvenating nights sleep at an area hotel and experienced great hospitality.
