Two Events, Two Great Causes this December
It's that time of year again! When your calendars book up with holiday parties and endless celebrations with colleagues and friends. I invite you to join me for two holiday events this season supporting two organizations benefiting D.C. children.
December 4th: Join the ladies of the Twelve Days of Christmas, Inc. for our Mingle and Jingle Holiday Soiree fundraiser from 6 to 10 p.m. at Josephine Lounge (1008 Vermont Avenue, NW). 100% donations from this event will be used to purchase holiday gifts and meals for families in need in DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
Last year our Chapter was able to provide assistance for more than 100 area children and their families, and with your support, we hope to top those efforts this year. I personally am able to shop with these ladies for the children each year. It is a treasured moment each year when we deliver these gifts and see the joy brought to families in need.
Guests will enjoy tunes, festive cocktails, and even better company - the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. This year we'll have DJ Top Choice AND DJ Jahsonic for your entertainment. Most importantly help us to share our blessings with others and the true spirit of Christmas through the gift of giving. You can purchase your $40 ticket online at: https://12dayssoiree2014.eventbrite.com
December 12th: ART BUZZ returns on H Street. Join Cher Castillo Freeman and I from 6 to 9 p.m. at the launch of REMAX Sky's new offices (1425 H. Street NE) for this installation of ART BUZZ with DJ Jahsonic on the decks and artwork from D.C. based artists for purchase. Come drink for a great cause and vie for raffled goodies from Sweetgreen, Ivy & Coney and many more. 100% of proceeds donated will benefit the DC Arts and Humanities Education Collaborative and their efforts to provide DC public and chartered schools with access to cultural opportunities throughout the Washington metropolitan area.
Each year 30,000 students from DC public schools attend 500 + free performances at our nation's world-class cultural institutions through their programs. The talented artist who will display their work at the event will donate 10% of their profits back to the organization. A suggested donation of $10 is requested at the door.

Dance for the Homeless and Support the Latin American Youth Center on November 15th
Did you know that…
- Nearly 4,000 young people in the Washington, D.C. area experience homelessness each year.
- Almost half of runaway and homeless youth have been physically abused, and....
- Nearly one in five have been sexually abused?
Due to the lack of available shelters, most of these youth are not in school, "couch surf", and are at higher risk for drug abuse and criminal involvement. The Latin American Youth Center is addressing these issues through multiple programs for young families and single parents, as well as programs specifically for single and Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender youth. Their services include transitional living experiences, life skills, case management services, and general counseling support.
November is National Homelessness Awareness Month. To raise funds for LAYC's work with homeless youth, they are sponsoring a DANCE-A-THON FOR THE HOMELESS on November 15at Wilson High School. Please consider donating to keep these vital services going.
Their staff have formed teams and are challenging each other to engage friends and family as sponsors for this event. CLICK HERE to purchase a ticket and dance with them on Saturday morning, November 15 – or sponsor one or more young people or adults to dance.

Dîner en Blanc Took Over Yard's Park Last Night
The sun setting along the Potomac as a crew team rowed past the diners.
Last night 1,300 Washingtonians adorned in their best whites trekked to the District's inaugural Dîner en Blanc. At 5 p.m. on the dot guests rallied at nearly a dozen metro stops across the city, armed with their tables, chairs, linens, flatware, champagne flutes, center pieces and picnics as they headed to the secret location for the night - Yard's Park.
The night was certainly "très chic" and filled with libations, jubilation and anticipation for the culinary feasts (provided by guests). There were just a few key rules to follow which attendees honored (well most):
- Bring a table, two (white) chairs, picnic basket (gourmet picnic dinners were available for purchase), proper stemware, flatware, and china
- Purchase wine or Moet champagne for your guests on site
- Wear white and have white table clothes
- Arrive and depart by organized meeting locations and instructions (no taking Uber's like we did, opps!)
- And leave with your belongings, leftovers and litter
The coordination was a true reflection of the spirit of the event. Hosted by Linda Davis, Bryer Davis and Justin Ross, Dîner en Blanc capitalized on the global sensation that has hit cities such as Paris, New York, London, Philadelphia and many more. Now in it's 26th year Dîner en Blanc has brought together tens of thousands of diners in secret locations with the sole purpose to share a good meal and take in your city's picturesque locations. The phenomenon began in 1988 in Paris and was launched by François Pasquier and a handful of friends. Check out the photo recap of the event below and sign up for notifications of the future event with costs just $35 HERE. Watch the documentary on the worldwide event HERE.
DJ Neekola rocked a pair of retro boots and her signature wigs.
As the sun set, guests enjoyed the architectural designs of Yard's Park.
A comfy place to relax in the media tent overlooking the Potomac.
Guests poured in by the hundreds with all the pieces to set up their tables.
Moet provided the Champagne, while guests also purchased other wines on site.

49 year old woman | Kansas City, MO, USA | Seeking men 49-64 within 175 miles
Single, Sassy, and ready for "The One".
I am not lonely, however, I would love to one day be in a committed relationship which could lead to marriage. I'm not looking for casual hookups, I have a great deal of friends.Therefore, I am using this site to date those who are interested in the same. Although, I admit that any relationship begins with friendship. It also should begin with honesty regarding expectations. I am a caring and outgoing person who loves to help people in many different ways. I enjoy people and life in general. I love being active, like snow skiing, roller skating, exercising inside and outdoors, anything on the water is ideal! I also LOVE NFL football.My family is extremely important to me. Travel, reading, music, and movies are things I find enjoyable. I enjoy live entertainment. Broadway plays are fabulous, but then Blues Alley with a virtual unknown singer or spoken word artist is just as great. I will most likely rewrite this at some point, but it's a start. I will not respond to profiles without pictures. Why hide if you've joined & paid for an online dating experience?
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Dancing, Golf, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

I like Cats, Fish, Horses
I don't currently have any pets. I had a cat for over 20 years. After she died, I said no more pets, but we'll see. I'd love a horse. I can't currently afford one now, however, maybe one day.
University of Missouri–Kansas City, Kansas City, MO
In the last few years I've fallen in love with cooking and cooking shows. I love anything with Bobby Flay, Gordon Ramsey, or Michael Simon. I love being on or in water. Love seafood, including sushi, cajun and greek are favs. love adrenaline activity
The Atlantis Resort, New Orleans, Vail, New York City, Chicago, and DC. I also would enjoy any city that is hosting the Super Bowl. I'd like to experience The Outer Banks, Ocean City, MD & London soon. Hawaii was nice,but I want to see Italy & Greece

The Bruins' 4-1 win over the drain-swirling Florida Panthers at the Garden was not a thing of beauty.

STiD, Kirk and the Abrams Team

Fleet Captain
Re: STiD, Kirk and the Abrams Team
^ Here Here
Kirk was dealing with a lot of BS in that film. Only one year ago he saved the Earth and potentially the entire UFP. He breaks the Prime Directive one time (seriously does ANYONE in Starfleet take that thing seriously) and get's sent back to the Academy. How humiliating for a decorated hero. Pike fights to make it a mere demotion to Commander a few scenes later. Next his mentor and father figure is murdered by a terrorist and Kirk goes on a crusade to bring that man to justice. Only to discover the terrorist and Kirk himself have been manipulated by the very chain of command they both swore to uphold.

Drink between: 2015 - 2022 (Add My Dates)
Opens up with air, fresh cherries and flowers on the nose, medium weight, good acid build, leather, cherries, mineral and strawberry, drinking beautiful right now, elegant and sexy
Old World Blind Tasting Group $40+ (Bin 75): See through orange crimson with orange rim; rose, slight sandalwood, fainter nose; lighter body, elegant, old school BdM; like many lighter 2007s I hope this puts on some weight with more bottle age.
Wonderful every day Brunello! Nose of cherry, and silly smooth. Drinking very well right now.
Osteria I Nonni Fall Italian Tasting 2013 (I Nonni, St. Paul, MN): Tasting pour. Cherry, baked cherry, plum, smoke, some wood, medium body, cherry palate, spice, medium plus finish. 91+pts.
This wine puzzles me. On one hand, it open and giving, has lovely fruity tones and great terroir (Montosoli) expression. On the other hand, the alcohol is too dominant and it seems quite "warm" all together. Not a wine I would age for a handful of years. And not as elegant as the other vintages I have tried from this producer. It is a pleasure to drink now but not what I had expected, I guess.

Granted, nobody is going to confuse Supes for Mortal Kombat's Scorpion anytime soon, but there's more to the combo system in Superman Returns than just mindless button mashing. As Superman Returns' supervising producer Jeff Peters told us, the game doesn't skimp on "canned" combos (with six and seven, and even up to 10-hit combo strings), and it also leaves room for players to create their own attacks organically. "We wanted to give the player control over what kind of combo [they] wanted to do," Peters said. This includes your standard punch attacks, and also grabs and throws, flying into the air, picking up objects, and mixing in Superman's impressive arsenal of powers such as heat vision and freezing breath.
The videogame will be released on November 20, and is available for pre-order now.

Shower causing bad smell
An extremely foul smell (not a shit smell -- I can't place it) has been starting up in my bathroom a short time after the shower is turned on. It doesn't seem to be the water itself that smells, but I can't tell where the smell comes from. When the shower is off, the smell eventually clears and doesn't return until the shower is turned on again. Any idea what could be going on?

Brief discoloration of bath water at turn-on
I've been staying for about a week at a friend of a friend's apartment while he's on vacation and pretty much out of contact. Every time I turn on the bath there's a yellow discoloration of the water for the first half-second or so, and then it becomes completely clear. I haven't noticed any like discoloration when I turn on any of the faucets or the shower, but I'm nevertheless getting worried about drinking the water here. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks in advance.

I keep baking soda in the shower and use it as an exfoliant, but it still takes 3 or 4 scrubbings to get it all off. Any spots I miss become dry, scaly patches once I towel off.

Monday, August 11, 2014
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
SNELLVILLE — Following the third and final public hearing concerning the requested rezoning and variances for the 0.644 acre site in the 1900 block of Scenic Highway, council members voted to grant the requests despite vigorous opposition from members of Grace Baptist Church. At about 4 p.m. Monday, applicant Truong Nguyen submitted a revised development plan to the city, which depicted a 4,250 square-foot building instead of the original 5,000 square-foot building.
The new proposal reflects a 10-foot undisturbed, 15-foot landscaped buffer on one side, and a 10-foot undisturbed, 20-foot landscaped buffer on the other side. One of the major sticking points for church members was the smaller buffer presented by the applicant originally. A new request was made Monday, with the applicant asking for the ability to install a drive-thru in the retail space should a potential renter require one and if so, the overall size of the building would be decreased to accommodate the addition. In such a case, the drive-thru would have to be presented to the city's planning staff for approval, but the matter would not have to be heard by mayor and council.
While Grace Baptist Church members months ago agreed to give up 30 feet of their 60-foot buffer (60 feet granted by city ordinance), the applicant wanted the church to give up still more of the space between the church and the planned building in order to accommodate the proposed building size and parking spaces.
Attorney Warren Auld, who has represented the church throughout the public hearings, said Monday that the church was not asking for any special consideration or favors from the city; rather, the applicant was asking for six variances for property he bought last year knowing what the ordinances were at the time.
Auld said Monday that it was clear that Nguyen would not build the building according to plans he submitted to the city Monday afternoon. "The question that has to be asked is 'how many variances will you grant?'" Auld said, addressing the mayor and council, "You're setting a precedent here."
Guy Abernathy, an engineer representing Nguyen, said "I think we want to do what's best for the city. I think we've made a good faith effort."
Once representatives and those in the audience Monday had their say, the matter came to a vote. Councilman Bobby Howard moved to approve the rezoning, variances and conditions for the 0.644-acre property. Mayor Kelly Kautz said that she would not support approval, as she sees the six requested variances as a "red flag." Kautz went on to add that many developers through the years have complained about the city's strict buffer and tree ordinances, but years later, those ordinances are paying off for Ga. Highway 124. "The church did not dictate the buffer requirements; city ordinances did," Kautz said, further explaining her lack of support for the applicant's requests.
The final vote on the issue was 5-1, with Kautz casting the only dissenting vote. Mayor Pro Tem Tom Witts was not present Monday because of out-of-state family matters.
Church members left Monday's council meeting expressing their disapproval of the council's decision. Someone remarked that council members had "sold out," while another member told others to "remember the names" of those who voted to approve the rezoning and variances.
City leaders OK painted mural
Council members voted to approve a conditional-use permit for the painting of a mural on the wall in front of New London Plaza. "It is a blank, 42-inch wall," said Snellville Public Arts Chairman Kirk Buis, who then presented examples of the proposed painting the plan is to paint a scene depicting a vibrant city. Among the examples was a child pulling a wagon loaded with puppies, a bicyclist, a jogger and a man relaxing on a bench. Many of the subjects are painted from the waist down, though smaller children would be painted "in full."
Snellville citizen Marcy Pharris asked Buis why the mural would be painted in that manner. "Why only the bottom half of the people?" Pharris asked. Buis answered, "It's more artistic to do it this way. I don't think we want real models."
Kautz proposes cultural diversity and ethics training for city leaders
Kautz added an item to the city's new business on Monday night's meeting agenda. "We may not want to admit it, but (discrimination) is an issue in Snellville," Kautz said.
Referring to the last council meeting, Kautz said, "I sat up here and looked out into (the audience) and thought, 'I have to do something.'"
The mayor said discrimination is not merely racial; it can be exist with respect to age, gender and other differences.
As city leaders, the mayor said, she and the council have to be aware that the perception of discrimination is just as destructive as actual discrimination. To that end, Kautz is proposing that she and council members participate in a session regarding diversity and sensitivity through the Carl Vinson Institute at the University of Georgia.
Councilman Dave Emanuel said, "I probably shouldn't say anything, but I've heard about all I can stand of the race-baiting. Sure, there are bigots, and even idiots, in the city … but no one on this council is a racist. It's great grandstanding, but I deeply resent the allegations that have been made. They are false."
Kautz said that she would wait until after the Sept. 12 and 13 planning retreat for city leaders and staff, then place the item on an agenda to be heard after that event.
Councilwoman Barbara Bender said that she is glad that the city is going ahead with a planning retreat, since the January retreat ended so abruptly and with such division between Kautz and council members. "I feel like we've lost nine critical months of planning; while everyone on staff has been trying to do their job, people haven't been headed in the same direction."

I wanted to wait for a while before I reviewed these shoes as I have had a lot of cooks shoes that sounded great out of the box but did not live up to expectations in the long term. I purchased these in april of 2014 and it is now the end of february 2015. below are my observations. Overall they are comfortable but they do take some adjusting to , there is a small ridge that runs parallel to the base of your toes that will kind of be uncomfortable till your feet toughen up. but once broken in they are really super comfortable. the front of the shoes are made of a durable thick rubber that is spill proof and cleans easily, I just hose mine off every night after my shift and they look like new. they are very very durable , after 10 months at 40 hours a week they still look like new and the soles hardly show any signs of wear. the non slip surface of the soles is absolutely great and will stick tight to the greasiest and wettest floors however if you do not work on rubber mats they have a tendency to accumulate a thick layer of crud which can be very slippery when you hit a wet spot, I end up having to spray the soles clean at least one time a night, rubber mats seem to keep the crud scraped clean by comparison. overall for the price I feel that these are the bar none best cooks shoes I have EVER purchased all of the others fall apart after 4-6 months and are often much less comfortable to wear.

I've worn them for about 2 hours hoping they would relax a bit but no go.....If I don't wear socks they're okay but it's winter and the ones I just disposed of, 5 years old, were much more comfortable and more of a roomy fit. I have to wear these in the chicken coop because I can't get chicken poo on my good shoes so I hobble through my chores with them on. I'm almost reluctant to try another pair even of a different style because I'm concerned that the next pair also won't fit and then I'll be out the money for both pair!! ~sigh~ What a disappointment.

Comments about Crocs Bistro:
These work great for my nursing job. My feet are only a little sore at the end of a 14 hour day. My old crocs were more comfortable but I can't wear shoes,with holes in the tops and I need the slip resistant tread. I also cut out the side vent holes with an Xacto knife and this provides the perfect amount of ventilation so my feet just sweat a little. About the same as if I was wearing tennis shoes. I just ordered the Bistro Pro to see if the added softness to the sole will help. We'll see. I would recommend these
