Unrestored Project Cars - Muscle Car Project Cars
This website is for the many car enthusiasts, collectors, and racers. The goal for unrestoredprojectcars.com is to provide information to everyone who enjoys classic cars, muscle cars, rat rods and car related events. Please check back with us over the next few months as we grow and develop this exciting site. We will be featuring many categories and information about cars.
When it comes to cars, they are a passion for many individual of all ages. From young to old everyone enjoys looking at cars, some prefer new off the production line cars. There are also those who enjoy the classic cars whether for the reason of having owned one in the younger years, those who enjoy the hobby of restoring and driving older cars, and some just admire the beauty and styling from cars of the past. Classic cars have always been in style since the first car was produced.
Collector cars come in many forms ranging from restored and show ready, to project cars needing restoration. Collectors come from all income ranges and skill levels some like to buy a ready to drive car, others like to find project cars and build them to meet their individual taste. If you don't want to purchase a finished car there is the option of buying an unrestored or project car. Some people like to return a car to its original state, while others like to customize them with all sorts of modifications. No matter what the intended purpose of the finished car, many of them start out as an unrestored project car.
Unrestored Classic Cars - Classic Car Project Cars
In recent years the collector car market has grown while the supply of cars has shrank. The supply and demand for these cars has driven the prices higher and higher. There are many car enthusiasts who want to own a piece of the past and enjoy driving or collecting a part of history. The market for perfect original cars and correct restored cars is thriving and growing. Fewer original cars are left with each passing year, combined with rising prices it is becoming harder to own a true all original car. Many car collectors like to purchase a car to restore with their own hands, or have restored to like original condition by an expert. They can take pride in owning a classic car restored to original specs, a street or show car, or daily driver. Buying a diamond in the rough and returning it to excellent condition gives a car owner a true sense of accomplishment.
Unrestored Cars - Project Cars
An unrestored or project car has been sought after and dreamed about by many people. The opportunity to own a classic car, build a drag car, street car or show car is sought after by thousands of people. An affordable way to enter into this hobby is to buy a project car that needs work. It might only need a few details to finish the car, or you may find a car needing completely refurbished. Different people have different ideas and skill levels and apply these when making decisions about what to purchase. The intended purpose of the car plays a huge role in what type of condition a project car may be in when it is purchased. Some cars may be driveable, while others may not have been on the road in more than 20 years. They are in all conditions needing mechanical work, body and paint work, interior work or a combination of all. They can be restored back to original specs or built as the owner desires with personal touches and performance upgrades. Building a car from scratch allows for alot of choices and options for the owner to enjoy and take pride in the finished product.
Muscle Car Information - Classic Car Information
Unrestored project cars is also an informative site which will work towards providing information about muscle cars, classic cars, and rat rods. There are so many makes and models of vehicles it is impossible to keep up or learn everything you need from one information source. In addition to particular model information car club information, car event information such as car shows, swap meets, drag races and other car related events maybe included.

2013 Fatto a Mano Artists
November 1, 2013
Ja Teuber
October 31, 2013
Ja Teuber started her custom stationery design business in 2001.Her first ready-made product was for F.A.M. show in December 2004. She created letterpress note cards and desk calendars.

Daniela Shelton
October 31, 2013
Daniela Shelton could tell you a million reasons why she makes dolls but she calls the least likely one her favorite: she needed a means to use the kaleidoscope of fabrics around her. A Swiss-trained designer, she has an eye for good form and color; an inveterate collector, she can't resist what she finds. Dolls, she says, offer the most creative latitude to showcase the richness in even the simplest materials.
And that's only the start. Each Hasenpfeffer creation strikes a balance between two seemingly disparate ideas: old-world craftsmanship and capital-M Modernism. Reduced to its simplest form, each doll offers its best friend unlimited creative expression. Built to an incredible standard, each doll promises to entertain friends not for years as much as for generations.
Soojin Yum
October 31, 2013
Soraam is dedicated to creating hand printed and hand made home and personal accessories with unique and playful patterns. All items are environmentally friendly and hand printed using water based inks on natural fabrics. "Soraam" means "Please take a look with a smile" in Korean.
Soojin Yum, the artist behind Soraam, is a graphic designer living in Seattle, Washington. Born and raised in Korea, educated and trained in Korea and the United States, her bicultural experience has led her design aesthetic, which fuses traditional and modern, East and West. She's interested in Asian motifs, then re-interpreting them through a modern lens to create her geometric yet delicate patterns. She loves to create functional products with a playful design twist.
Tamila Morgan
October 31, 2013
Our lovely farm is nestled in the foothills of the Cascade mountains, not far from the charming town of Arlington. This is where we create our natural soaps and bath collections that we are so passionate about. Using natural and organic ingredients our products are not only good for your skin, but are gentle on the environment. Preserving farmland, we are working to build the infrastructure of our soil to grow the flowers, herbs, and honey that are essential to our soaps and bath products! You will often see our two Indian Runner ducks & Moses (she's really a goose) roaming around our fields and garden eating bugs and weeds as part of our natural pest control. When we aren't working hard we enjoy playing hide and seek in the dark or running frantically through the field being chased by a steer, while the rest of the family is laughing. Did we mention that we Love what we do?!

I am a passionate, globe-trotting gem sleuth who designs collections of jewels inspired by colorful moments experienced in vibrant and enchanting environments.
Using unique, cut-to-fit stones, I create timeless, elegant and luxe jewels; making each piece bespoke for the wearer. As a Tanzanian-born Canadian of Indian descent, I span worlds in my Seattle-based atelier. And I bring the beauty of diversity into the world of jewelry.

Lisa Chun
October 28, 2013
Although Lisa learned metalworking in college, it wasn't until moving to Seattle that she began to take it up more passionately. Working as a architect, she discovered that creating jewelry was a perfect balance to that practice of shaping buildings and environments. While jewelry requires a similar sensitivity and response to materials, attention to detail in design, and a direct relationship with the human body, the immediate and tactile process of expression provided a different kind of fulfillment.
Her work marries influences from the natural world as well as more architectural forms and shapes combined with a love of pearls and gemstones.
Roberta Torgerson
October 28, 2013
Roberta began knitting when she was a little girl, taught by "Signora" Elide. She picked it up again when her daughter came home from school with a knitting project and wanted to know how to fix a mistake she had made on her scarf. It seems the body remembers things taught long ago; Roberta began knitting again and hasn't stopped.
Roberta knits what she loves. Scarves give her an immense satisfaction; there is excitement in finishing each piece. Choosing yarn while traveling adds to the gratification. Most recently, Roberta has been collecting mohair from Italy, since most of it comes from the region around her home town of Torino.
Since each scarf is one of a kind, there is a special pleasure that comes from seeing people gravitating towards a scarf that fits their personality. In addition to knitting up a storm, Roberta's boutique Italian Language School – Percorso Italiano has gained a lot of momentum these past couple of years. She is very excited to continue to knit warm and luxurious scarves and teach Italian to students in Seattle.
Meredith MacLeod
October 28, 2013
Meredith has been a working artist for more than 20 years. After receiving her BFA from Massachusetts College of Art she relocated to the Northwest where she discovered and fell in love with Whidbey Island.
As you can see MacLeod's work is"For the Birds!"

Andrea Kohler Bookbindery
October 28, 2013
After a traditional 4-year apprenticeship and several sojourns abroad, Andrea established an atelier in Zurich, where she practiced for 14 years. She trained several apprentices and for many years taught courses at a school for continuing education.
Andrea binds books entirely by hand, in both traditional and contemporary styles, using techniques that have changed little over hundreds of years. Hand binding is a labor-intensive craft, requiring much skill and patience. Since 1996, Andrea has lived and worked in Seattle.

Lysle Wilhelmi
October 27, 2013
Lysle Wilhelmi of Lysle Style began sewing clothing for herself as a teen, drawing inspiration from her mother, who was an excellent seamstress. After a long hiatus from sewing in college and early adulthood, Lysle was inspired during her first pregancy to create curtains, pillows, and bedding for her son's nursery as well as some maternity clothing for herself.
Just a few years later, Lysle's attention was drawn to fashion and style. She found herself particularly liking a layered look incorporating full skirts, drapey tunics, ruffles, asymmetrical hemlines and cozy sweaters and wraps. As she explored her own style and look, Lysle realized that she could learn to create most of the clothing that she was purchasing, and Lysle Style began.
Lysle sewed exclusively for herself for eight years before launching into sales. Starting with an Etsy store and a tiny bit of publicity to friends and family, soon Lysle was filling custom orders, hosting clothing/jewelry/art shows and selling at small Seattle boutiques.
Lysle Style is created primarily with knit fabrics using rayon, cotton, silk and wool. Lysle favors neutral colors but does venture into brights now and then. She loves to create using ruffles, stripes, polka dots and multiple fabrics. All garments are designed to be fashionably elegant as well as comfortable and functional. Each piece is unique and created by Lysle with attention to detail and quality.
Julie Lyderson-Jackson (Past Artist, 2012)
October 31, 2012
Of Spool + Sparrow.
I've always been a maker. Parenthood provided the spark to set up shop and share with my kids the value of handcrafting. In 2009, I began small batch production of textile goods in my home in Seattle, WA. Now, I get to create art for everyday use in the form of apparel, accessories and home furnishings using materials derived from natural, sustainable crop fibers.
My designs are influenced by an appreciation for simplicity and for evidence of the maker's hand in each piece. I believe that less is often more, and I fully embrace the natural imperfections of my medium.
For fall and winter, my focus is on pinch-pleated bags made from linen, hemp, organic cotton and up-cycled leather belts & women's all-season skirts made from soy/organic cotton jersey and french terry. To round out my line, I continue to offer block-printed tea towels, pillows, accessory pouches, aprons, herbal eye pillows and a very limited number of additional garments for women and children.
Michele Jaillett Chui (Past Artist, 2012)
October 30, 2012
Michele started her new business Little James Ming Baby recently with the arrival of her son.
Michele has enjoyed a long fashion-based career, and while working in Merchandising for Baby Product Development at a Seattle-based high-end retailer, Michele was inspired to privately design a prototype all-silk baby comforter. After many silk buying trips and sewing classes from her fabulous seamstress-mother (fast-forward to 2012) she is now realizing her dream!
Each luminous silk comforter is handmade by Michele in Portland, Oregon. As a former fashion stylist, she is inspired to create unexpected, one-of-a-kind comforters that are quietly elegant, timeless, functional and beautiful. She enjoys 'pushing the baby envelope' beyond the traditional pink and blue. Many of her vibrant designs are inspired by the Chinese culture's rich silk history.
Michele prefers working with silk exclusively because it's the most luxurious and comfortable natural fabric in which to cocoon your baby. Silk is a smart choice: a renewable resource, hypo-allergenic, moisture wicking, and resilient. It's an excellent choice for baby because it is lightweight, a great insulator and naturally drapes to the body to regulate body temperature.
The Fatto a Mano show is Michele's debut! Michele is working hard to build her inventory and a website is coming soon.

Regarding how hard it was to gather all the needed info and to test different ways how individual parts work, how the watchdog can be used etc, I have created a sripped down version of our core python engine library, which is supposed to serve as an example, to be released back to the stackless community. :) The example consists three C++ source files (plus a few headers) and it features: - Using stackless with Boost.Python. - Running C++ code as the "main tasklet", inside the stackless context. - Using Watchdog to run tasklets. - Using Watchdog to catch tasklets which have ran into infinitive loops, or are just using too much time. - Sleeping tasklets for specified amount of time, so that this works with the Watchdog. - Storing PyChannelObject and PyTaskletObject inside Boost.Python objects. The package includes a simple Makefile and it needs stackless python, boost and boost.python compiled against the stackless python source tree and headers. The package is available for a limited time at my home server: (I don't know how long I'm able to host it there, but at least weeks) http://lysosomi.juhonkoti.net/tmp/projects/tasklet-techdemo-20060404.tar.gz I'd like that somebody could download, compile and test if it works as expected, and maybe submit some feedback. After this, If Richard (or somebody else) likes so, this can be imported into the SVN repository, posted (and hosted) to stackless site or whatever. - Juho Mäkinen, http://www.juhonkoti.net _______________________________________________ Stackless mailing list Stackless at stackless.com http://www.stackless.com/mailman/listinfo/stackless

Was Vittorio Missoni Kidnapped?
This has renewed the Missoni family's hope that Vittorio and his traveling companions are indeed alive. "It's better to be kidnapped than at the bottom of the sea," said Vittorio's sister Angela on Monday. "We hope all four are alive and well. We also hope that the searches go in all directions."
Vittorio had been vacationing with his wife Maurizia Castiglioni and two other couples in the Venezuelan islands of Los Roques. Vittorio, Castiglioni, Guido Foresti and Foresti's wife Elda Scalvenzi were on board the plane with two Venezuelan crew members. The other two people on vacation, Scalvenzi's brother Giuseppe and his wife Rosa Apostoli, were believed by some to have been kidnapped, but the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero reported that they made it to Milan safely on Sunday.

"This National Panel for a Carbon Negative Economy is a great example of the partnerships and research programs we're building with the Dean's Research Initiatives," said Jonathan Wickert, dean of Iowa State's College of Engineering. "These initiatives are advancing the college's research mission in areas where we have comparative advantages. And they're putting science and technology to work to help Iowa and the world meet the challenges of the 21st century."
One of those challenges is not only reducing emissions of greenhouse gases but also removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Brown and his colleagues think they have a solution: "Our proposal envisions a carbon negative economy, which goes beyond current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by adopting a strategy of actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere," says the project's proposal to the college. "This captured carbon is sequestered in soils, sediments, and oceans as part of the natural carbon cycle of the biosphere while supporting economic activities of human society."
The objective, in other words, is "to develop technologies that take carbon out of the atmosphere and make money while doing it," said Jill Euken, a member of the new panel and deputy director of industry and outreach for Iowa State's Bioeconomy Institute.
The initiative envisions fixing carbon from the atmosphere by growing cellulosic crops such as switchgrass and aquatic species such as microalgae. The harvested biomass would be thermochemically converted to a biocrude that can be used for transportation fuels, biobased chemicals or the generation of electricity. The thermochemical conversion also produces biochar, a carbon-rich solid similar to the charcoal produced in fires. Applying biochar to agricultural soils can sequester the carbon and boost soil fertility.

MASSENA - The Massena Public Library has a full board again.
The Massena Town Board approved five appointments during a special meeting Wednesday morning - Linda McDonald to a term that expires Dec. 31, 2012, Mark Englert to a term that expires Dec. 31, 2013, Emily Hutchison to a term that expires Dec. 31, 2014, Jack Baines to a term to that expires Dec. 31, 2015 and Robert Manning to a term that expires Dec. 31, 2016.
They replace former President John Acton, former Vice President Richard Geiser and former board members Barbara DeLine, Pamela Ouimet, Michael Gleason and Lisa C. Bero, who all resigned. Ms. Bero was the last remaining member of the previous board until her resignation on June 20.
Director Lynn Fountain also left after a year of service next month. She was replaced on an interim basis by retired Director Paul L. Schaffer, who is being paid $20 per hour for a maximum of three hours per day. Mr. Schaffer will continue until a new director is appointed by the new board.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray said they initially had nearly two dozen applications for the board positions following the resignations.
Some were eliminated because they did not meet the state Education Departments residency requirement of being able to vote in the town of Massena, according to Councilman Charles A. Raiti.
Others were eliminated from the pool of candidates because there may have been a conflict of interest in the past or present, Mr. Gray said.
Town board members whittled the number of resumes down to 14, but Mr. Gray said some of those who were under consideration for a board position declined the offer.
Some were recommended but said thanks, but no thanks, he said.

Melanie Griffith: Rehab Brought Antonio Banderas and Me Closer Together
Last August, Griffith entered rehab for the third time, following stints in 1988 and 2000. She has battled with substance abuse problems for over a decade and admitted to having problems with cocaine, liquor and painkillers.
Rumors about difficulties in her marriage have been circulating for years, but Banderas has dismissed the reports.
Instead, Banderas stuck by Griffith's side and helped her through her latest struggle to stay sober. "The entire family participated in the process of rehabilitation. We went to the place where she was doing it, we participated in all the therapies ... everything, everybody in the family. It's tough, but at the same time, very rewarding," Banderas said. "It's tough."
Griffith first met Banderas while filming 'Two Much.' She left husband Don Johnson for her new leading man and married Banderas on May 14, 1996. They have one child together, Stella Banderas.
Banderas admits he's not ashamed of Griffith's addictions and loves her unconditionally, even if it means facing a deadly problem head on. "I just say to families, 'Don't get embarrassed, just confront this problem head-on. And don't hide from that because there is a beautiful gift at the end of this tunnel, and it is the person that you love back, and that is what I am searching for. So the whole entire family is supporting her, and I am supporting her, and at this particular time more than ever. I'm very proud of her," he said back in 2009 (via SFGate.)
Since "starving the monster" of addiction, Griffith says she's doing wonderful. Even Banderas admits he couldn't be happier. "There were people who literally didn't give us more than six months!" Banderas said. "But we love each other, and above all we love our family. We've figured out how to get past obstacles ... and if you get past those, you only get stronger."
Griffith says she has kicked the habit. "Now I feel free," she says. "I don't drink. I don't take pills. Nothing. And it's fantastic. It's like getting out of prison," she tells ¡Hola! magazine (via PEOPLE).

Melanie Griffith was in Working Girl, Cherry2000, and the remake of Born Yesterday to name a few. She is the daughter of Tippi Hedren from The Birds fame. Melissa Gilbert was in Little House On The Prairie and has been in numerous TV movies. She is married to Bruce Boxleitner.
To respond to the story, congrats Melanie and hope this is your last trip to rehab. Antonio is a wonderful husband to stick by you through all this. Back off the drugs etc and enjoy life and your family.

Are you thinking of Melissa Sue Anderson or Allison Arngrem? (Mary & Nellie)? Melanie Griffith was never on Little House...

no,it was Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson in the Little House series; Melanie Griffith is Tippi Hedron's daughter and was in movies like Working Girl

Is anyone else feeling confused about this situation?Aside from Melanie's plastic surgery fails, we see a celeb husband showing us that he loves his wife unconditionally and is doing everything he can to help her pull through her struggle,and most importantly (from my perspective) that she isn't fighting alone, he's right beside her.I want to be happy for a couple being such a healthy,long lasting marriage, but deep down inside I'm harboring some jealousy issues.I mean who is she to have the handsome,exotic looking man of my dreams (made more so by this article)?Honestly, I'm liking this article, its a breath of fresh air considering all the news about the serial cheating celeb hubbies,serial douche bag hubbies, and even suspected of murdering your spouse hubbies in hollywood and entertainment today!

I am with you 100%. I have been wondering why all these people are trying to find something wrong with this couple. OK, LET'S SEE : 1 MAN, 1 WOMAN IN LOVE. They are doing what couple should do when problems arise. Stick together, support each other through thick and thin. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT. Better to be with Banderas than Jesse James. As far as Melanie is concerned whatever she does with her face is her damn business. If Antonio likes it, so be it.

Melanie, you are one lucky woman!! Antonia is such a hunk, a great actor, and (the frosting on the cake) a loving and loyal husband - beautiful inside and out. Count your blessings !!

Ms. Melanie always impressed me as being a good Soul. I was sceptical about her husband and the truth of their relationship.
However, after I saw him in "take the lead" I knew he was a truly good man. I am so happy for them.

This is how addiction is killed. Family love and support. Great man, husband father you are Antonio. My prayers for you all. Go Girl! May your example follow Elin. Addiction is addiction, it takes all kinds. Way to go.
- Sunday 25 AprilBy jim
Good luck Melanie. You have lots of work to do to stay sober. Believe me, it isn't easy at times. Alcohol and drug addiction can rob you of your soul, your friends, and God knows what. Please work hard and take one day at a time.

Melanie was on Oprah many years ago, the camera was in her kitchen and she was preparing some favorite Holiday dessert. Oprah asked her how things are going and Melanie said, "I haven't had valium in 3 weeks" and there were applause!!! I couldn't believe she even thought 3 weeks were something to be proud to announce! Try 3 years, Melanie. She will never get off her addictions. If you see that she has gained about 20 pounds, then, yeah, she beat the drugs and alcohol but picked up eating.

Once upon a time, I was showing a little cotton sweater I had knit to someone I didn't really know at all. She was a knitter and so she immediately flipped the sweater inside out to examine it's bowels. Of course I didn't mind because I would have done the same thing. Upon close inspection she felt propelled to exclaim, "Oh, you must never start a new ball in the middle of the row! You must always join a new thread at the beginning of the row!"
I never did get a citation from the Knitting Police.
But I actually think of that conversation a lot. There are rules in knitting, but are we seriously supposed to follow them all the time? I'm sure there are many finished knits I have shown you on this very blog that have minor or major indiscretions that I just failed to mention. Perhaps because they weren't a big deal or maybe because I was too embarrassed to fess up. But does it matter? Does it matter if we join a new ball of yarn in the middle of a row on a cotton sweater if the sweater is absolutely adorable? Doesn't matter to me.
Anyway, the reason I bring it up is because I have finished the October Sweater for Maggie.
Looks like a cardigan. Smells like a cardigan. But is it a cardigan?
When I finished it and put it on Maggie for her photo shoot, there was one small problem.
That darn button wouldn't stay closed. The picot button band is two layers thick, the buttons are small, and I really didn't want to do any major sweater surgery. I also really love the buttons and the button/sweater proportions. I didn't want to go to bigger buttons. So I sewed the button band closed, turning my little cardi into a faux-cardi pullover.
I left the top button open because otherwise Mag's head would probably not fit through.
A little bit of a fudge, which may have been solved differently by someone following a set of knitting rules other than my own, leaves me with a sweater that I adore. And that my baby can't easily get out of.
As promised, the details.
Pattern: Elizabeth Zimmermann's Seamless Yoke Sweater, from two sources: I used her suggestion from Knitting Without Tears to omit the sleeve increases for a child, and I used the adjusted yoke decreases (updated by Meg Swansen) from The Opinionated Knitter. The sleeves were knit in the round to the underarm and the body was knit back and forth. Then when I joined it all together I continued knitting back and forth.
Yarn: Cascade 220. Color 8013. Less than 2 skeins.
Gauge: On US 7's, about 5 sts/inch.
Cloverleaf Eyelet: A Treasury of Knitting Patterns (the first one) by Barbara G. Walker, p. 169. This pattern is a multiple of 8 plus 7, so I calculated my number of cast on stitches accordingly for both body and sleeves.
Picot: I am not sure exactly why I know how to do a picot edge, but there's really nothing to it. I cast on and knit a few rows, then *YO, k2tog* on a right side row. That's it. On the bottom hem and sleeve hems, I attached it as I was knitting by catching a stitch from the cast on and knitting it together with a live stitch. Sorta like a three-needle join although I didn't actually use a third needle. On the collar and button band I sewed the hem down by hand.
If I make Maggie another yoke sweater I will space out my yoke decreases more. Next time I'll start the first decrease about halfway up the yoke (which is what you're supposed to do, I just had a lapse) instead of 2/3 of the way.
See? Little indiscretions. Doesn't bother me.
Lastly, my favorite picture.
She's growing up so fast! Whaaaaa!
(I am going to the workshop on Sat. It's actually the Brandon Mably Color Workshop. I've been told to knit a 10″x10″ swatch using my favorite colors. Yea! Time to dig into the yarn bins!)

Those who were heartened by the recent drop in the unemployment rate have less to cheer about than it seems as the gap between those with jobs, and those who have given up, yawns widely. The percentage of working-age Americans with jobs is still painfully low—and not likely to change soon as corporations hoard cash.

A new poll finds that workers on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder face job-loss anxiety levels not seen since the 1970s. The vast majority also say they fear their family incomes can't keep them afloat financially. This is the American economic reality for those not riding the Dow Jones average.

"With another jobless recovery at hand," warns health reporter Martha Rosenberg, "it is tempting to accept any position offered to you. But there are 12 kinds of companies you don't want to work for. Here are the warning signs."

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman eviscerated the GOP on Monday for acting on the falsehood that life is "too easy" for millions of out-of-work Americans who can't find jobs by punishing them in the party's effort to "cure unemployment by making the jobless even more miserable."

As lawmakers on both sides of the aisle spend copious amounts of time on their seemingly futile quest to reach an agreement about how to deal with the nation's burgeoning debt, there's an even bigger economic problem in the U.S.: unemployment.
ep_jhu (CC-BY)
Thousands of jobless workers in Washington state will lose their unemployment checks starting later this month when the federal government begins withdrawing emergency benefits because overall state unemployment has dropped below 8.5 percent.
So here we are, well into the thick of the holiday season, and no agreement has been reached on Capitol Hill about extending unemployment benefits and keeping payroll taxes from sudden escalation as the new year begins. Thus, President Obama dialed up a couple of key members of Congress, as spokesman Jay Carney described Wednesday.

Pennsylvania's GOP-controlled House of Representatives will consider a bill that would change the way unemployment benefits are calculated, taking almost $500 million out of jobless residents' pockets each year.

Bad news on the U.S. job front: While the country's unemployment rate took its biggest drop since April 1998, the decrease was due not so much to a recovering economy, but to the fact that 260,000 people have given up looking for work.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has put March's unemployment rate at 8.5 percent, the highest in a quarter-century. After 15 consecutive months of job loss, more than one in 12 people (who are looking for work) are unemployed.
Not since Ronald Reagan's reckless free marketeering have we seen unemployment this high: The U.S. jobless rate hit 8.1 percent in February, with 651,000 jobs cut during the month.
U.S. Department of Labor
The news continues to get worse after the government finally put the "official" stamp on the current recession. The Labor Department has announced that 533,000 jobs were lost in November, the biggest monthly cut in 34 years—with analysts fearing that the 11-month trend of increasing job losses will deepen even further.
In a little over two weeks, the Dow has tumbled more than 2,000 points as bad economic news continues to pile up. Word on Thursday that jobless claims hit a 16-year high, combined with a dreary outlook for Detroit and a lack of confidence in major financial institutions, helped drive the DJIA down to 7,552.29.

When will athletes and entertainers ever learn? You can run, but you can't hide. It seems that someone else is making poor judgement when it comes to his finances.
According to TMZ…
Former NFL star Jamal Anderson is best known as the originator of the "Dirty Bird" touchdown dance — but Uncle Sam is unimpressed … and just wants a fat check for the back taxes it says Jamal owes.
According to a tax lien filed by the Georgia Department of Revenue, the former Atlanta Falcons star owes money for the 2007 fiscal year. Anderson's debt is piling up too — a $52,234.28 principal has nearly doubled to $102,797.06 … thanks to interest, penalties and fees.
Jamal did not come from humble beginnings. He was surrounded by celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Donna Summer, and Byron Scott to name a few who were clients of his father, James Anderson. With that being said, he knows the responsibilities that comes with fame and fortune.
Yes, we know that he made bad decisions in the past, but now is the time to pay your debt when it comes to your taxes. Believe us when we say that everyone has an Uncle name Sam whose hands are in their pockets. Just ask your friends The Dream and Bow Wow.
Word of advice from Fabulous & Money Savvy™, pay off your taxes (in installments if needed), hire someone to manage your finances and disclose the entire process along the way. You want to stay informed of where your money is invested.
"Love yourself enough to support yourself."

"Freedom of expression is an inalienable human right and the foundation for self-government. Freedom of expression encompasses the freedom of speech and the corollary right to receive information. These rights extend to children as well as adults.
Libraries and librarians exist to facilitate these rights by providing access to identifying, retrieving, organizing, and preserving recorded expression regardless of the formats of technologies in which that expression is recorded."
(American Library Association Statement on Electronic Information, Services and Networks)
It is the mission of the Rapides Parish Library to provide informational, cultural, educational and recreational materials to the people of Rapides Parish. The library will continue its emphasis on books and other print materials, while also expanding audiovisual media and electronic resources to meet patron needs. The Rapides Parish Library is a local center for continuing self-education and a backup resource for students at all levels. The library does not attempt to maintain a historical repository for all human knowledge, but rather an active collection, meeting current and foreseeable needs.
The Library staff provides assistance with the use of library resources, collections, and materials, including a basic introduction of electronic resources.
All customers who qualify for a library card are required to have one in order to access the public PCs. Guests, who live outside our service area, and who are here temporarily, are provided with temporary access.
These resources contain a wealth of valuable information. However, users should be aware that some information may be inaccurate, outdated, or offensive. Use of these resources carries with it a responsibility to evaluate the quality of the information accessed.
Parents, not the library, are responsible for the use of these resources by their children.
Lawful use of electronic resources is the individual's responsibility.
Customers are encouraged to use the workstations for the following purposes:
The Rapides Parish Library is particularly concerned about the potential effect on minors that some images and communications on the Internet may have. The Library has therefore taken measures designed to restrict minors' access to materials harmful to them, and prohibits unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal information regarding minors. The Library uses a technology protection measure that blocks and filters some sites on the Internet for the protection of minors. This technology may be disabled for adults engaged in bona fide research or other lawful purposes. This policy seeks to comply with the Children's Internet Protection Act signed into law December 21, 2000.
Workstation use is a privilege and should be treated as such by all users of the system. Library staff has the right to determine the appropriateness of workstation use and can at any time require a customer to leave the workstation. The Library reserves the right to prohibit violators of these conditions of use from future access to the Library's computers and online services. In accordance with the Library's general policy, appeals of such loss should be addressed in writing to the Library Director. Perpetrators of malicious damage to the system will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Although the Library uses a program that checks for viruses, there is no guarantee that files downloaded from the Internet will not contain a virus. The Library is not responsible for any damages that may arise from saving or downloading files to privately owned external storage device.
There is no charge for use of the workstations nor to access the information therein. However, customers shall assume the printing costs at the rate of 15 cents a page for black and white printouts, and $1.00 a page for color printouts. Flash memory drives are available for purchase at the Library's cost.
Electronic information technology is emerging, expanding and changing constantly. The Rapides Parish Library Board of Control encourages customers to make use of the new technology and welcomes comments and suggestions regarding policies governing use. Comments and suggestions may be made to the library staff or administration in person, over the telephone, or in writing.
Customers wishing to object formally to images, texts or other content of the Library's automated resources may fill out the "Citizen's Request for Review of Electronic Resources" form and submit it to a staff member.

Your Questions About Coffee And Migraines
Steven asks…
Does coffee cure migraines?
I know it may seem like a weird question and I've never known anybody that thought this, but when I take bc powder or Goodys powder or anything it never helps, but coffee seems to work instantly. Maybe I'm just losing my mind?
Joy answers:
This is an excellent question, and the answer is, remarkably, YES! If you look at the ingredients on any migraine medicine, they contain caffeine. I will go into detail if you care to keep reading.
The reason migraines start is because of a sudden dilation of the blood vessels in the brain. Simplistically, this increases oxygen levels, and releases a chemical that makes you more susceptible to pain. Your brain thinks it is hurting, when in reality, it is not. The caffeine constricts the blood vessels again, returning them to a semi-normal state.
Here's another post I made about migraine and coffee.

Welcome to the Department of Curriculum and Instruction!
"Education not only is the means through which a culture is transmitted but also the
means through which it is transformed."
Curriculum deals with the various designs for learning, while instruction denotes the means. The Department of Curriculum and Instruction at California State University is at the core of the educational process. We offer core classes in the Multiple Subject and Single Subject Credential Programs and a broad range of graduate study opportunities.
We are a vibrant group of faculty—excellent teachers and mentors and we offer practical, forward-thinking, technologically rich curricula that prepare future teachers and curriculum experts for leadership roles in educational settings.
Jacques Benninga, Chair
Department Overview
The primary mission of the Curriculum & Instruction (C & I) Department in the Kremen School of Education & Human Development (KSOEHD) is the preparation and continuing education of K-12 educators, particularly teachers. Coursework and field experiences are designed to prepare teachers who are reflective thinkers, problem solvers, and decision makers to meet the challenges of teaching in a rapidly changing world characterized by social, economic, and cultural/linguistic diversity.
The coursework offers students opportunities to develop and refine their understanding of the teaching/learning process while experiencing the best of the world of practice. Supervised field experiences along with instructional planning and evaluation techniques provide the foundation for productive and responsive teaching. In this context, all faculty promote teaching as a science and an art. Programs offered through the Department of Curriculum and Instruction are identified within two major categories: teaching credential programs and master's degree programs.

Calabasas Memory Care Community
Calabasas, CA 91302
(747) 666-7684
Location InformationMap & directions Schedule an Appointment
A single-story community tucked away in the Santa Monica Mountains, Silverado Calabasas provides a wonderful blend of comfort and clinical expertise for those with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy body and other types of dementia. The community's bright, lively atmosphere is designed to allow residents to remain social while they continue to enjoying the things that were important to them before their diagnosis. From the smell of fresh-baked cookies in the bistro to the sounds of visiting children frolicking in the pool, Silverado Calabasas is a cozy and welcoming place that provides residents with far more than just assisted living.
Silverado's highly-trained, extensively-screened team members provide individualized memory care that is focused as much on mind and spirit as it is on body. From residents in the early stages of memory impairment to those needing a higher level of dementia care, providing the best health, comfort and dignity possible is the guiding principle by which we operate. We see family involvement as a key factor in quality of life, so we don't have visiting hours and meals for visiting family are free.
Activities, Amenities and Features
- Nexus, an innovative evidence-based program for early stage residents combining science and social engagement.
- Community resides on a large lot surrounded by hills and trees - very connected to nature. Secure, enclosed walking paths, a large courtyard, putting green and garden areas encourage residents to be mobile and maintain strength and balance. This helps foster a sense of independence and freedom while maintaining safety.
- "Engagement" programs, age-appropriate activities designed for residents' particular functional level, build self-esteem, maintain dignity and offer opportunities for growth and creativity. Club programs are designed with residents' abilities, interests and histories in mind. The goal of all programs is to have fun, prevent boredom, boost confidence, develop friendships and provide opportunities for new experiences.
- Many fun outings - Malibu beach picnics, Balboa Park, Saturday farmers market, shopping at The Commons, The Getty and more.
- Clubs and activities like gardening, wine and cheese, sports, etc. help prevent feelings of isolation that often come along with memory impairment.
- Special visits to a little fishing spot — it's even wheelchair accessible!
- Sports-themed hangout inside the community with a ping pong table, poker and TVs always showing sports. An important part of Silverado's life-enriching senior living care is respecting residents' hobbies and letting them know that their condition does not mean they can't still enjoy many of the things they used to.
- Courtyard has plenty of tables & chairs, often used for engagement activities like jewelry club and pet therapy
- Playground encourages family members to bring children for visits while providing residents a wonderful focal point to enjoy the youthful energy they bring.
- Heated swimming pool with regularly-scheduled aquatic programs (when weather permits). One-to-one associate support ensures that residents are safely supported and supervised.
- Community pets – dogs, rabbits and an aviary - help provide companionship and a sense of normalcy. Residents may be able to bring their beloved companion when they move in provided the pet fits in with others in the environment. Community animals provide love and companionship as well as giving residents the opportunity to maintain dignity and self-esteem. This "sense of purpose" pet care brings is a hallmark goal of Silverado programs and services.
- Momentum tracking system uses bracelet or anklet sensors on residents to show where they are at all times - nurses use information gathered when developing care plans.
- Conveniently located near Woodland Hills, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Canoga Park and Chatsworth.
- Skilled relocation teams to help residents moving in from a distance.
Highlights and Associations
- Member of the Calabasas Chamber of Commerce
- Sponsors and Chairs on the Alzheimer's Association
- Community hosts quarterly continuing education classes for professionals such as nurses and social workers, sharing our insight with the wider community
- Affiliations with UCLA and USC – nursing school

Garage Sale Tips: Shopping for Mother's Day 2012 gifts
It seems like every year when Mother's Day rolls around the media pushes us to spend big: diamonds, fancy restaurants, and high-dollar perfumes. But you don't have to burn a hole in your budget to give an unforgettable Mother's Day gift that the moms in your life will cherish. Your neighborhood garage sales and estate sales are just the place to find unique, one-of-a-kind gifts, and mom will appreciate you being smart with your money.
Before you go shopping, make sure you've read our Weekend Shopping Guide for garage sale tips to help you get the most out of your experience. Once you're up to speed, all you need to know is what type of mom you're shopping for, and what yard sale items match her interests.
Gifts for the Gardening Mom
Unique planters, teacups, or vintage bowls – all of these can be found for $5 or less at garage sales. Put a little soil in them and a miniature plant (think succulents or violas), and you've got a gift that will wow. For inspiration, head to Epheriell Designs who made a beautiful teacup succulent garden.
Antique spoons – Antique spoons are easy to transform into adorable garden markers. Artsy VaVa has an easy DIY tutorial for creating whimsical herb garden spoon markers. Anyone would love this garden gift.
Lawn buddies – There's always a cute figurine or two hiding out at a garage sale. Find out her favorite animal and keep your eyes peeled. There's sure to be a porcelain or brass critter who'd love to call her lawn home.
Gifts for the Bookworm Mom
The obvious, books – Make a list of your mom's favorite authors and scour the tables of your local yard sale. Books can usually be scored for $1 – $2.
Unique bookmarks – Many garage sales will have items that could be turned into beautiful bookmarks (think buttons, charms, and jewelry) at the sale. Head to Good Life Eats for inspirational DIY bookmark ideas before you go shopping.
Once you've rounded up some good reads and reading accessories, assemble them in a beautiful book gift basket with some of mom's favorite teas and snacks. You'll win the favorite kid award for sure.
Gifts for the Fashionista Mom
Jewelry – Head to estate sales or garage sales that explicitly state they have jewelry for sale. You should be able to find good bargains ranging from $1 – $10 at most sales. While the big box stores and high price tags might seem impressive, a garage sale jewelry gift is one of a kind and can be a real beauty once cleaned up. Who knows, you may even stumble on a valuable treasure.
Scarves and shawls – These can also be found at many estate sales. Keep an eye out for boxes filled with colorful silks, and you're likely to find a vintage scarf or shawl hiding in there that would look beautiful on mom. All you need to do is give it a gentle hand wash and iron, and it will be ready for gifting.
These are just a few ideas. There are plenty of treasures to be had at garage sales. Know some gift ideas that we missed? Tell us with a comment, or join the conversation on our Facebook page.
Wishing you a very happy Mother's Day, and many successful garage sale treasure hunts!

Vicki Haggland, MA candidate in Media and Communication, will be delivering her talk ""How is this news? An in-depth look at the content tweeted by New Zealand journalists" in Locke 611A on Tuesday 5 May at 12pm. COMS research seminars are open to absolutely everyone.
Abstract: Social media has allowed us to connect and communicate on a whole new level, and one of its myriads of uses is that of producing and disseminating news content. However, conventions of social media have meant that there is a blurred line between what is and what is not news. One of the most prominent social media platforms is Twitter, which is slowly gaining popularity in New Zealand with over 2.4 million users. Among these users, and probably the ones who use Twitter the most, are New Zealand journalists. This heightened level of activity by New Zealand journalists emphasizes the amount of news content that gets posted and shared on Twitter. But Twitter's autonomous nature means that there is no guarantee that the content produced by journalists is newsworthy or relevant.
In deciphering what is and what is not news, my research is primarily following New Zealand journalists in an attempt to provide an answer to a question that gets asked too often: How is this news?

With the Thunder having clinched a playoff spot, those on the Thunder Insider list have been sent information regarding playoff tickets. There also is an FAQ on the website at thunder.nba.com.
Thunder notebook: Playoff ticket info available online
Single-game playoff tickets will be available online only on April 14 at 10 a.m. Availability will be extremely limited and they will range from $12 to $40.
As was the case during the regular season, there will be tickets available through the Thunder Rewards Zone.
Thunder playoff gear is available on-line at nbathundershop.com.
By virtue of winning its season series 3-1 against Houston (38-35), the Thunder (48-24) clinched the head-to-head playoff tiebreaker when the Rockets lost 125-119 at Miami earlier on Sunday night.
OKC's 99-90 victory over Portland eliminated all potential multiple-team tiebreakers involving the Thunder for the playoffs.
The next quest for OKC is clinching the Northwest Division title, where it is in a three-way race with Denver (44-29) and Portland (42-31).
With 8:05 left in the third quarter, Thunder coach Scott Brooks received his first technical of the season while arguing a foul called on a blocked shot by Kevin Durant.

Those Who Are Drunk FratBoys Shouldn't Play Glass Foosball
Gaming 207 Views
While this glass foosball table looks absolutely stunning, the practical implications are questionable at best. Made with green, white, and transparent glass, this foosball table by Teckell will be of best use by the responsible player and would look very out of place in a frat house. No word on pricing or availability but I figure the price will clearly dictate your wallet's availability. Just don't spill any beer in the corners.

The Warriors ended up putting the Blazers down 20 in the third.
At that point I got up to get a snack. It was homemade tortilla chips with Ghost Pepper salsa. For those not familiar with the salsa world, Ghost Peppers--or Naga Bhut Joloki--make Habanero peppers look like baby food. They're 170 times more potent than Tabasco sauce. They've been considered for use in hand grenades. Still, this Ghost Pepper salsa was nowhere near as hot as Damian Lillard when I returned and un-paused the DVR.

Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit Invited Speaker Series, 2012/13
Lunacy, the legendary notion of minds unhinged by the moon, continues to captivate the popular imagination. Although it violates the assumptions of modern science and psychiatry, such belief remains common among mental health workers. Furthermore, several studies have found a small, unexplained correlation between behaviour and the lunar cycle. Dr Niall McCrae presents a historical account of the lunacy concept, followed by discussion of hypothetical mechanisms and indications for further research.
Niall McCrae PhD, MSc, RMN is a lecturer in mental health at King's College London. His publications include several journal articles and book chapters on the social history of psychiatry and mental health care. His book The Moon and Madness (Imprint Academic, 2011) has been widely reviewed and he has also presented his research on this topic on the BBC Radio 4 series All in the Mind. Niall is currently writing a history of the mental hospitals in Britain, from nurses' perspectives.
