By Taryn AsherFox 2 News ReporterDETROIT (WJBK) -- There has been another move to remove the emergency financial manager for Detroit Public Schools. Meanwhile, Roy Roberts is speaking out for the first time since voters struck down the emergency manager law.Everyone is still fighting for power, but the one person who currently has it is not sure if he wants it anymore since the game has changed."Go and educate the kids and go and reduce this deficit, and we've worked on that diligently," said Roberts.He points to the proof. Since he was appointed, he and his team have brought the district's deficit from $326 million to $74 million.Roberts says in his 15 months, they have weeded out employee corruption, made necessary cuts, consolidated and closed schools, improved education, enrollment and held students accountable.But his position is in question after voters took down Prop 1 repealing the emergency manager law. Following the opinion of the attorney general, Roberts is now working under the old law, Public Act 72, which gives him limited powers that he says may not be enough to finish what he started."If you don't get the power that you need to do what you want to do, will you walk?" I asked him."I think I'd have to. I will not be a part of hurting kids."Robert Davis, who just filed a motion in the Court of Appeals to remove Roy Roberts, says he should already be gone. His legal challenge one of several that claims both emergency manager laws are dead."Once Public Act 4 went into existence, Public Act 72 was no longer in existence. It's as if it was never enacted back in 1990. And consequently, as a result of the Michigan voters voting overwhelmingly to defeat Public Act 4 on November 6, that wiped out Public Act 4," he explained.As the battle for power continues, Detroit School Board members are still trying to fight for theirs. On Wednesday, a Wayne County judge adjourned a lawsuit filed by the attorney general, who wanted a majority of the board removed claiming they were unlawfully elected by districts. It was a small victory for board president Lamar Lemmons, who feels like he's fighting an uphill battle and claims, even with the change in law, Roberts refuses to give up academic control."We want the authority granted to us under law and until we get before a judge that will tell him that we have at the very least academic authority," he said."You get eleven people, they can be all good people, but if they're not going the same direction, you can't get it done," Roberts remarked.He feels the district will never get to where it needs to be until there is cooperation, and to date both Roberts and the school board can't even agree to meet."We've got 50,000 kids that are underserved, further behind than any kids you'd find in any school district around here, and we adults ought to be arguing and fighting over that. That (makes) no sense to me," he said.The Wayne County judge has adjourned the case against the school board until January. We've learned the main reason is the legislature is working on some bills that could affect the school board and possibly give emergency managers their powers back. We could hear something by mid-December.

ednesday, January 08, 2014 2:46 a.m. by Tom King
The Baseball Hall Of Fame inductees will be announced today. Last year there were no inductees as the Baseball Writers who decide these things made their position on PEDS felt loud and clear. Even players who have no taint of PEDS felt the wrath of the writers. Guys like Craig Biggio and Mike Piazza and Jeff Bagwell were thrown under the bus with the players we know cheated and didnt get in. Now there is such a backlog of highly qualified players on the ballot that the "rule of 10" will come into play this year. The Writers Association has a long standing rule that a voter cannot include more than 10 names on his ballot. It rarely if ever made a difference because after the first few years of voting there were never enough guys on the ballot that deserved the honor. This year you can make a good argument for up to 19 players on the ballot...if...you decide that PEDS should not be an impediment to induction.
I've gone back and forth over the years on PEDS in baseball and how those players should be treated. Noted baseball writer Buster Olney who covers the game for ESPN wrote as insightful a column as I have seen on the issue this week. He is a voter for the Hall Of Fame and he makes his argument as to why he will vote for PED users if they were among the best players in the game. His arguments include...We dont know who was using and who wasnt...baseball didnt do anything to stop it...we dont know how PEDS affected play ...To play a guessing game on who did and who didnt is absurd...baseball still employs these people in various functions unlike Pete Rose who is persona non grata...IF MLB and the Hall Of Fame(which has them on the ballot) determined these players are in good standing..unlike Rose..is it the writers place to place a roadblock using their own personal bias...a vote for the hall Of Fame should reflect history and whether we like it or not...some of these guys were the best players in baseball when the sport was full of PED use...IF MLB and the Hall doesnt like that view, change the rules and negotiate a provision in the collective bargaining agreement that any player busted for PED use is permanantly ineligble for the Hall....He also says that he will start treating the achivements of the steroid era as a fraud with his ballot when fans who paid to watch those games get their money back.
I have decided that the Hall Of Fame is a museum of baseball and with players of questionable character and morality already in, the best players in baseball should not be kept out. Its what happened on the field that mattered. I would even revisit the Rose situation, and although I would never allow him to work in baseball again...he is the all-time hits leader. And this summer will also see the induction of three managers...Joe Torre, Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa..who managed during the PED era.and had to know what was going on.....hell you can make the case that LaRussa made his bones on the backs of the superstars of PED use...if they are being welcomed with open arms why should the players be excluded.
With all that said...the rule of 10 becomes the most important change that needs to be made. Because of the Writers failure to elect anyone last year the ballot has become bloated and at least for the next few years voters need to be allowed to vote for as many players as they deem qualified.
If I had a ballot and there was no rule of ten...I would vote for in alphabetical order...Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, Edgar Martinez, Fred McGriff, Mike Mussina, Rafeal Palmierio, Mike Piazza Tim Raines, Curt Schilling, Frank Thomas & Alan Trammell.
Yes some of these guys are assholes...but none are worse than Ty Cobb
in that category. And yes I would vote for Manny Ramirez down the
road...and Ryan Braun too if he continues to put up the numbers.

About a month ago, copper thieves struck at St. Paul's most popular ice skating rinks, stealing more than 256 feet of copper pipe from the Phalen Recreation Center -- but local businesses lent a helping hand to repair the rinks in time for the holidays.
NAC Mechanical and Electrical Services and their supply partner, Mulcahy Company, Inc., donated all labor and materials required to get the refrigerated outdoor rinks back up and running.
"We're rooted in this community, and so is this rink," said Lynn Bishop, president of NAC Mechanical and Electrical Services. "We couldn't let this rink be taken from the kids and families of St. Paul, and we had a solution to prevent this from happening again."
After more than a week of work, the repairs are now finished and the rink is ready, officials say.
Previously, the city's Parks and Recreation Department believed the theft would put the beginning of the skating season in jeopardy while costing the city upwards of $20,000 to fix using similar materials. The scrap value of the stolen copper is estimated at a few hundred dollars.
Though St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman gave the department clear directions to get the rink back open as soon as possible while researching alternatives to copper, the two companies offered a plastic-based composite material called "Heat-link," which has little or no scrap value and can still withstand the elements in Minnesota.
"St. Paul's refrigerated ice rinks are tremendous community assets, and the rink at Phalen is one of the best -- and most used -- in the region," said Coleman. "What those thieves did could have impacted thousands of kids and families this winter, but we are grateful we have companies like NAC Mechanical and Electrical Services and Mulcahy Co., Inc. that are willing to step in help us out."
There are more than 20 free outdoor ice rinks available to the public in St. Paul, including three permanent, refrigerated rinks at Phalen, North Dale and Palace Recreation Centers. Those refrigerated rinks can add as many as six weeks to the skating season and offer high ice quality to more than 100,000 skaters each year.

Where Does Your Dog Sleep?
In your room? In your bed? In your arms?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
On the end of our bed. It started when Bruce said, "oh, I just put her there to warm it up for you." That's all it took -- she expects to be there and we wouldn't feel right without her. Very cozy and snug.

My 1st dog, now age 5, slept in a crate in our bedroom till he was 18 months old. Then he slept on a dog bed in the same spot the crate had been, & at 2 1/2 yrs. he was invited onto our kingbed. He slept there for about a year, until we got a puppy, & after a month of her also being in the bedroom (in a crate) he started to head to the basement rec room after "last call" outside at 11 pm. On rare occasion, such as if I've been gone, he'll follow me onto the bed, & he will always sleep w/me when we travel to family or friends. Right now we are having the discussion about the younger one, now 20 months old & whether to continue crating her in our bedromm at bedtime. Lola definitely wants to sleep downstairs w/Java or with us, but, I don't want Java pushed out of his area & she will try to curl up w/him which he does not care for, & in our bed she sleeps on me or pushed up against me - usually very sweet, but not always comfortable, & she is a face licker. He is 40 lb. & she is 31 lb., both BCs.

On my bed, along with a cat or two. My toy poodle likes to snuggle under the duvet when we first go to bed - she usually gets too hot after a while, but will stay there if she is feeling a bit chilled or off-colour. My papillon loves to curl up in the cave made by the thrown back duvet, but gets uncovered once I am in bed!

Unfortunately, my guide dog Gilbert has to sleep in a crate in another room because he snores, and dreams noisily. I am thinking about giving him another chance in my room for the new year though, especially after he recently threw up in his crate sometime during the night and I didn't realize it until morning.

Sleeping arrangements in my house has evolved as my herd has evolved. I really can't in good conscience call them my pack, because of the implications of intelligence and whatnot; my crew are definitely a herd! The good old days of "a" cat and "a" dog are gone, but the two original pets we had some 20 years ago were welcome to sleep where they wanted. They changed spots, such as the few months my cat spent sleeping on my lower back in a chilly basement suite, or the times when she got older and loved to nap with me spoon-style so long as I held her back feet cupped in a hand.
The shepherd-lab cross who thought he was a toy poodle always tried to cram himself into the smallest possible space eventually gained a big old cocker spaniel who would sleep cross-wise between the two humans with her feet pushing against us both. Makes a queen-sized bed feel pretty small.
Now we have three dogs and two cats. The first puppy (another cocker) always slept with me but could not be trusted not to sneak off and do her business, I assumed because she couldn't wake me up to take her out. After a year of tethering her to the bed, and waking up tangled to the still original cat, we just kept the door closed at night. Shortly after the original cat passed on, the second dog came. She's a very active pomeranian x who looks like a teeny tiny husky. She's as hairy and warm as one, too! She found the bedroom a very warm place to be and wanted the freedom to find cooler spots in the house. So open door again and poop in the basement again. Once the geriatric rescue kitty joined our household, he took over the prized between the pillows spot. The afraid of her own shadow hoarding kitty took me three months of sleeping alone in another room with her to win her over. Now she sleeps on the edge of the bed beside me while geriatric kitty is in the middle or on the man, whichever he can get.
Then, tired of getting little to no sleep, the dogs were given separate kennels to sleep in. Some times the kennels are in our room, but mostly they are in the living room where I can't hear them bark in the night at each other for looking at each other's treat. So at this point, the two kitties were finally able to share space.
Just as we hit equilibrium, a puppy mill bitch was abandoned at a local mall and taken in to the SPCA. Her health was so poor I brought her home for hospice. That was well over 7 months ago! So now afraid of her own shadow kitty and geriatric kitty share the bed with geriatric dog. She snores like a chainsaw, howls like a banshee and sleeps like the dead. Normally at the end of the bed, she thinks she's a cat and so the cats treat her like one. But geriatric kitty thinks he's a dog, so it all balances out in the end.
And amazingly enough, I do actually get some sleep!

Has a " jack russel " who for what ever reason in his life is not compelled to like other " jacks " as his entire life revolves around eating sleeping and snuggling. He never cottoned on to chasing the old frisbee, or running amok all over, never got the idea of what other " jacks " but chose the path in his life of the least resistance. He dearly loves to sit on the couch and watch tv, is insistent about his nap times as I work odd shifts and I go down for a nap about mid day for about 4 hrs before work. His post is is faithfully under my desk on his blanket. He enjoys his " road trips " & guards the car well when ever I get out by sitting in the drivers seat, then scoots over to his when I get in. Hes great on long trips, good company he is. he never strays far from home and is always nearby and is very content to sit on the back porch and watch life float by, barking at the odd squirrel who sits atop the fence. His name is " Angus " but he goes by, Buddy, Tubby, Schnoby, knows the words, " road trip, outside, TV, nap & blanket." He is content in world & mine. What can I say he is what he is and who he is, my buddy.

Gina, I love your comment! I think a lot of people have been made to feel guilty about having their dogs in bed with them, or don't do so because they've heard that it's wrong, and that has deprived a lot of people and dogs of this simple joy.
Sometimes, having a dog in the bed is not a good idea. For example, if there's an issue of the dog growling or snapping if a person returns to bed after getting up in the middle of the night, then other sleeping arrangements may be part of the solution. And when I was in the late stages of pregnancy during the heat of summer in Wisconsin, I sometimes asked my dog to hop back to his dog bed part way through the night because I was way too warm with an extra body in the bed. Most of the time, however there's no harm and a lot to be gained by this extra togetherness.

My 2 pet papillons and foster papillon (don't tell the rescue!) all sleep im my bed. I have a 4th Papillon whom I show and he stays in his crate in my room. The Bernese and Aussie x both have giant beds they sleep on but I have found suspicious black hair (that can only belong to the Big's) on my bed when I get home from trips. Naughty naughty!! I love that my 3 Littles sleep with me and its their favorite as well.

I tried having my dogs sleep with me and the bed WAS too small. Since then, they all have comfy beds surrounding mine and I hear their breathing and know they are with me. My yellow lab kept me alive after my husband died 18 years ago with her light snoring and her sisters and brothers that I've brought to live here have been a blessing. I find elder dogs that have been surrendered and bring them to live with my two cats and me and we all sleep in one small room at night. Been working out well.

In the bedroom, but on the floor. She was welcome to sleep in the bed with me but got irritated when I tossed and turned at night, and seems to prefer her own pile of blankets and pillows

With rain in North Andover forecast for Monday, the Blizzard of '13 may not be finished wreaking havoc in Massachusetts.
While temperatures dropped overnight on Friday resulting in light, fluffy snow, he Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) warns that fluffy snow piled high on roofs can act as a sponge, absorbing rain and adding additional stress to structures.
Relatively flat roofs are particularly vulnerable, MEMA says. In other cases, roof ice dams have formed causing water build-up, leading to interior damage. These conditions can accelerate the snowmelt.
North Andover is expected to have periods of rain and snow Monday as well as a mix of the two at times.
To minimize the risk of over-stressing a building roof due to accumulated or drifting snow:
- Be on the alert for large accumulating snow build-up or snowdrifts.
- If roof snow can be removed with the use of a snow rake (available at most hardware stores), do so. Try to avoid working from ladders, as ladder rungs tend to ice up, snow and ice collect on boot soles, and metal ladders and snow rakes conduct electricity if they come into contact with a power line.
- Flat roofs can be shoveled clear, but only if it is determined that the roof is safe to stand upon. Exercise care when on the roof to avoid potentially dangerous falls.
- Flat roof drainage systems should be kept clear to minimize the risk of excess roof ponding in the event of subsequent heavy rainfall or melting.
- Large icicles can form on roof overhangs, but do not necessarily mean ice damming is occurring. Icicles overhanging walkways can be dangerous and should be carefully removed.
- All of the above actions should only be performed by able-bodied adults. The snow is heavy, and roofs and other surfaces may be slippery.
- Protective headgear and eye protection is recommended.
Information from a release by the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) was used in this report.

"The Price" @ Eventide Arts
When: Fri May 17th
7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Where: Gertrude Lawrence Stage | Historic Dennis Union Church | 713 Main Street | Dennis
Showtimes: May 9 - 26 (no show on May 10th) Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30pm; Sundays at 2:30pm
Eventide Arts presents The Price, a family drama by Arthur Miller. It's a play about family and interestingly, the small cast includes two family members.
Nicholas Dorr and Cynthia Harrington, both of Dennis, are brother and sister in real life. Although they tried out separately, they play brother and sister-in-law in the play.
In The Price, Dorr plays a successful surgeon, Walter, who is brother to Victor, a police sergeant, who doesn't feel successful. The two brothers, long estranged, come back together in a musty old attic full of their father's furniture that they wish to sell. A very old and wise antiques dealer has come to give them a price for the lot. Meanwhile, the brothers air old hurts and angers while Esther, Victor's wife, and the antiques dealer, add to and enhance the family dynamics.
Family dynamics played a part in Dorr's and Harrington's early exposure to the theatre. Dorr became completely enthralled with theatre from age 9 and while his kid sister wanted to be in theatre too, "My mother wouldn't let Cindy near a play because she was afraid Cindy would get totally involved like I was," says Dorr.
When Harrington was in third grade, Dorr found a part for her, casting her as Doodle Doo Rooster in The Three Little Pigs while Dorr played the Big Bad Wolf (with the Boston Children's Theater Stage Mobile). As her mother feared, she did become involved with the theatre. As for Dorr, after delving into acting, set design and directing off Broadway, Dorr cast her again in plays he produced on the Cape in the early 80's after another actress dropped out.
"So, I dusted off my tap shoes and started doing my vocal warm-ups," says Harrington. "I ended up working with him in two plays that summer, Mack and Mabel and Scapino. A film director saw us both in one of those shows and cast us in a little independent film together."
That film, says Dorr, was not a good one but HBO played it over and over again to the point that when he moved to Los Angeles shortly after, lots of people recognized him. In Los Angeles, Dorr focused on set design for theatre and film. Meanwhile, Harrington also lived in Los Angeles, making a living in film production while raising a family. Dorr, now an uncle, was her babysitter and stayed involved in her life.
Their relationship is the polar opposite of the characters' in The Price. They work well together, practice together and offer questions and reflections to each other to strengthen their roles. Harrington goes to Dorr for advice, seeing him as a good teacher and coach. "Because we are brother and sister," says Harrington, "I think we can be more honest and frank with each other when we rehearse."
Says Dorr, "she is very open and shares ideas. She's really helped me in going over lines and talking about the play."
The Price is all about family, from internal family struggles regarding the price of furniture to the real price of one's decisions.
Harrington explains: "Each of the characters is defending their own version of the past and defending their actions to make some sense of what has transpired within their family. Ultimately, they have all made choices and acted in some way, either consciously or subconsciously, for better or for worse, and a price is to be paid."
Harrington's character, Esther, is an eternal optimist but faces some tough realizations when Walter (Dorr) exposes some facts that her husband hasn't told her about. Esther, an enabler, glosses over the truths about her life with her husband but by the end of the play, reality is undeniable.
"I think Miller's message here is that life can be messy," says Harrington. "I expect the audience to feel conflicted because all the characters have valid reasons for their actions. Sometimes, to get through the painful times, we re-write the past with our own version of the events. We make choices, and there are consequences for those choices."
"There are two sides to every story," says Dorr. "We like things to be black and white but in the end, it isn't."

Simply be aware it's far from silent when it operates. I can hear mine operating with it's fast chug-chug-chug in the other room with both the door to it's cabinet and that room closed.
Great Product By Brittany on 5/14/2014Brittany would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this kit for my RO/DI unit and I was amazed at how much more water this thing helps my unit produce. My home has a well and I was always sitting between 35-40 PSI. I purchased this pump and now it keeps my input at a constant 80 PSI. I did however have to turn the small screw on the top because when I initially hooked it up it was over 100 PSI.
Works as it should By lowtek on 5/9/2014lowtek would recommend this product to a friendI was only getting 45 lbs of pressure through my brs water saver system I received some time ago. Not wanting to run my r/o unit at half capacity and waste tons of water I waited till I got this booster pump. Well worth the 1 year wait. Pump is solid, heavy, made in the US and runs pretty quiet. Boosts my pressure to about 90 psi which is well over the recommended pressure so I'm a happy camper.
This is awesome coupled with the 150 gpd upgrade By jonathan on 5/9/2014jonathan would recommend this product to a friendI bought this pump with the 150 GPD RO upgrade and all i can say is wow. It went from taking half a day to fill my brute trash can to just over 3 hours. cant wait to see if and how much it cuts down my water bill
Worth the Investment...... By Tyler on 5/5/2014Tyler would recommend this product to a friendI went back and forth deciding if it was worth it to get this or not. After installing it and running it for a few weeks I have to say it is truly worth the price. I not only make water more efficiently, but waste a lot less as well. It is nearly silent when running and enables me to get the exact pressure I want.
Great Pump By Victor on 4/16/2014Victor would recommend this product to a friendReceived this pump a few weeks ago, it raised my pressure to around 85 and is quite. I have it mounted on a small piece of plywood on the wall in my water closet.
It works By NH Dan on 4/10/2014NH Dan would recommend this product to a friendI just received this pump setup a few days ago. I also bought the 150 gpd upgrade with it. I am on a well and could only get about 40 psi. I hooked up the pump and pressure switch and I am getting a steady 70 psi. The pump is quiet and has really increased the water production.
It does what it's supposed to. Good product.
Rocks.. at over a 100 PSI By Chicago on 4/2/2014Chicago would recommend this product to a friendOk.. this pushed my PSI from 48 on the incoming to over 100. Not sure since my gauge only goes to 100. I understand it is advertised to push water PSI to 115.
A must have By David on 3/25/2014David would recommend this product to a friendThis a must have for your RO/DI unit.
Exceptionally Quiet By Phenganax on 3/12/2014Phenganax would recommend this product to a friendI was expecting this pump to be fairly loud and was concerned because of where I have it in my apartment; however, it was quieter than my Bak-Pak 2. I also have readings of 70 psi after my second membrane, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to increase their psi or add a second membrane. I was also concerned that it would be too much pressure for my 15 gallon pressurized RO reservoir and that the pressure valve wouldn't shut it off. Much to my satisfaction this has not been a problem, the whole system works flawlessly now!

Triglycerides are a type of fat that is found in the blood. They are the most common type of fat and are a major source of energy.
When a person eats, his or her body uses the calories it needs for quick energy. It converts excess calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells to use later. In normal amounts, triglycerides are very important to good health. But having high triglyceride levels may increase a person's risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD). Very high triglycerides may lead to pancreatitis in certain people.

The Institute for Arts and Health promotes the use of the arts for the health and well being of all individuals in educational, community, and institutional settings.
Clinical expressive arts therapy and non-clinical applications of the arts are used in educational, medical, and a wide variety of community programs. In addition to many advances made in mental health services, the arts are used to treat and educate communities about risk, prevention and care for wide ranging public health, environmental and medical issues including obesity, asthma, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, cancer, heart disease, dementia, palliative care, hospice services, and violence as a health epidemic. The arts are increasingly being used to help active duty military service members, veterans, their families and caregivers address health disabilities stemming from their service.
Personal expression through creativity and the arts has been proven to access the body, mind, spirit and heart continuum in the process of healing and recovery. Increasingly attention is being given to the value of the arts in enhancing job satisfaction and the well being of professional and family caregivers. Across the nation more medical schools are offering arts initiatives in the training and continuing professional development of medical practitioners toward a goal of increasingly compassionate and empathic treatment, which is proving to result in cost effectiveness and increased patient satisfaction.

"I am so excited to send these out to my family and friends. The perfect invitation for my special day. My husband to be loves them."
"I could NOT have asked for a better follow up to the Long Overdue Save the Date cards! This invitation is EVERYTHING we dreamed of for our wedding! My fiance and I are both teachers and having a "library card" as our Save the Date and now a "storybook" as our invitation TOTALLY makes our school-themed wedding a perfect fit! I am so excited to mail these out and receive responses. I know our family and friends will be thrilled! Also, we opted for the pearlized finish and we love the feel!"

Over the past few months we have seen a number of situations where we encounter customers that have had horrendous issues with their websites. As we work to resolve issues for these customers we often find that key information that either allows us to help them, or that would have prevented then from being in the situation that they were placed in. After seeing a number of common trends we thought it would be important to start sharing some insight on some key items that should be known by all website owners, regardless of their technical ability.
We have been busy here at IowaComputerGurus for a while as we have been heads-down working on a massive set of updates to the documents, modules, tools, and resources that we make available on this site. In addition to a major update for our brand and visual appeal. It is with great honor that I reveal to you the fruits of our labor from the past months!
Over the past 24 hours we have assisted a large number of customers with server disasters, mostly stemming from a series of Windows Updates that went horribly wrong. I blogged about the main issue on my personal blog today under the title, Windows Updates, Monitoring, and ASP.NET Oops!. If you have not yet read this article, I strongly recommend you check it out as well as continuing with this article. By most accounts that type of an issue would be considered a disaster with sites being down and resources unavailable to perform their regular duties. Today's excitement prompted a lot of questions regarding the concept of true disaster preparedness and what levels of protection a customer needs to ensure their assets are properly protected.
In this posting I will review the concept of Disaster Recovery Planning as we see it here at IowaComputerGurus. Our goal here is to educate, to ensure that in the unfortunate case of a disaster that minimal data, if any, is lost.
It is a regular occurrence for us to receive requests from people that are experiencing extreme issues. It could be a single site that is down, a whole server that is having problems or any combination of other issues. While we totally understand the urgency behind each of these requests, it is amazing the types of security risks that users will put themselves into, just to get help. In this post I will outline our "best practices" recommendation for balancing the line between security and the urgency for help.

Miss Piggy is a spunky Pekingese. She is missing, and her owner is determined to get her back."I'm not giving up on her because she's been there for me through so much," said Shanna Thomas.From Tennessee, Thomas and her husband, Brad, said they sent to Sault Ste. Marie for a funeral and stopped in Motown on their way home on Tuesday. That is when a car accident on Greenfield and Eight Mile totaled their vehicle and sent them to the hospital. That was the last time they said they saw Miss Piggy and her puppy.Miss Piggy's pup is now in safe hands, according to the Detroit firefighters responding to the scene, but Miss Piggy is nowhere to be found. Her collar and tags were removed during the long car ride."I'm just hoping that someone will be kind hearted enough to turn Miss Piggy back into us," Thomas said.She also told us the day of that crash was the one year anniversary of her infant son's death.Thomas and her husband are not going home to Tennessee until they get Miss Piggy and her pup back and are staying at a local homeless shelter. They are trying to come up with some money to offer a reward.

Your blog is totally charming. I've only been following you for a couple of months but I check you everyday. You were so lucky to have been in Paris at this most beautiful time. Because of you (and some other blogs) I am now determined to find some french macaroons. Might be a hard job here in the midwest! Thanks for entertaining me.ReplyDelete
You say "au revoir" to Paris, but I am happy to say "bonjour" and welcome back to New York. Wonderful posts... you no doubt have me hooked. So, until your next post... "Merci, au revoir!"ReplyDelete
ooh la la...I have tears in my eyes as you so nearly captured the feeling of my very recent trip. I, too, dragged myself out on my last night for that last look at the twinkling lights :-)ReplyDelete
Please keep posting and painting pictures. Us kindred spirits can never have enough! Diane
- Sandy9:43 AM
Thanks, Carol for taking us to Paris with you - I always enjoy your trips to Paris for all the interesting stories and pictures you post for us - it's fun to see Paris through your eyes - and also because I receive your delightful "paris breakfasts" first thing in the morning. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit and thanks again for all you write - I have the La Petite Marquise on my "to do" list for my visit in September.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful ending tribute to your trip. I enjoyed every day of it with you... virtually. I have come to know more about Paris then I would ever have known by all your lovely trips over there, but this one was by far your best yet. I cant wait to see what you come up with in paintings now that you are home. Wonderful post. Happy weekend, get rested up.ReplyDelete
THANK'YOU' for sharing it all with us! It was wonderful:)ReplyDelete
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.ReplyDelete
- Carol10:26 AM
This is one of your most lovely posts ever, I am actually sitting in San Francisco with tears running down my cheeks--so touched am I by your photos and words. It reminds me of just how special Paris is, and you must surely love it as much as I do...you have captured so much of the daily charms, my heart aches to be back but until I can, I feel lucky to have your photos and reminders. Welcome back, and certainly...au revoir.ReplyDelete
Bojour Carol:ReplyDelete
Merci for all your photos and jargon about your visit to Paris. I loved the tour of Momartre.
Your concluding mention of climbing stairs brought to mind our apartment stay back in 2002. It was a tiny studio apartment in a building built in 1705.
Our "pigeonnier" was up ninety-six (96!) well worn escaliers to the "fourth" floor! Back home in Chicago we climb 41 steps up to our third floor apartment. (41/3 = 13.6 stairs/floor) Applying that to our Paris apartment: 96/13.6 = 7 floors, not 4 floors! Our view was of the inner "courtyard" of our building, surrounded by roofs, chimneys, windows and a church tower with a large bell. It was everything I had hoped it to be. On a Sunday, I tape recorded the "symphony" of the church bell mixed with surrounding bells from other churches. Each morning we awakened to the peal of that bell. The only thing missing was being able to lean out and see the street or a vista of Paris, preferably with the Eiffel Tower in view.

This post is one of the best you have written! While I was reading it, I was about crying. You are such a fan of Paris and it was great to take a walk with you on the Parisian streets. Paris is already missing you, so come back so. There is ENCORe a lot of things to discover! A bientôt!ReplyDelete
- Julie10:40 AM
Oh my goodness!! What a beautiful post. As I told you, I have only been to Paris once, but oh so hope to go again and your wonderful posts cement that. What a beautiful staircase! The Raspberries, The chocolate, etc., etc. But most of all THE TOWER, indeed it is always breathtaking, every picture of it, every trinket, but NOTHING compares to being there beside it.ReplyDelete
It sounds as if your trip was good for your soul, may you be refreshed and have a reflective weekend.
Thank you so much for your delightful tour of Paris. I was able to visit just once in my life (my one and only time out of the US) and it was life changing. I, too, learned to walk and climb stairs, fell in love with the Metro, and found I could communicate almost anything everytime I got lost and someone came to my aid. What an amazing city - and you captured it beautifully.ReplyDelete
- René11:10 AM
Welcome back. I am glad you enjoyed Paris so much. I felt I was right in step with you as I know most of what you showed and now have a few more places to visit on my next trip. There is another French saying that maybe is more bitter but still very true when it comes to Paris. Dire au revoir c'est comment mourir un peu.ReplyDelete
You should be thankfull to the 6 flights of stairs! not only they are beautiful but they let you free of eating anything you wanted! Next june I'll be in Paris and, even though I know it pretty well,thanks to your blog I'll have lots of new places to look at. Thank you for your reports and have a good and safe journey back home. RosannaReplyDelete
Aughhh, superbe. Welcome home but ahhh so so beautiful these sights...just a fabulous trip. Again again...;-)ReplyDelete

Thank you, Carol. I love the doggies, the artistic pastry and so many of the Paris delights that you feature.ReplyDelete
Your artful blog is a daily, joyful remembrance of my trips to Paris. Thank you again for all of your effort and the sharing of your sense of humor and artistic talent. You enrich me! Thank you again!
Glad you are home safe and sound. I loved seeing Paris through your eyes - maybe New York now?? Have a wonderful weekend, xv.ReplyDelete
Wow! Totally stunned by all the macaroons in your refrigerator!! That is some research you are doing! Very clinical indeed ;-)ReplyDelete
Loving your blog!! :-)

I have been enjoying reading about your trips and looking at your gorgeous watercolours, I love your work. I haven't managed a trip to Paris for quite some time now, will definitely explore some of your favourite places next time I get the chance to go, Pierre herme and Laduree are first on my list. A bit of trivia for you, 'ce n'est qu'un au revoir' is how the lyrics 'auld lang syne' are translated in French , as a French woman who has been living in Scotland for 16 years I thought I would share this with you.

Happy you're home safe and sound Carol and that you had such an incredible trip again. With such fresh and amazing inspiration,I really am looking forward to your new paintings.ReplyDelete
What I really adore about your posts is that somehow, you magically manage to take your readers with you along your journey; through the gorgeous visuals and spellbinding text, it almost feels as though we really are tagging along - it's really neat. Thank you.
...so when is your next trip??
- Diana T.7:55 PM
Thanks for sharing your Paris trip with me. It's an amazing place that gets under your skin and you need to revisit often......No matter if it's art, design, or just walking in Paris it's the BEST!
Glad you had a great trip.
You have a nice weekend too.

Your "painted dreams" are great. We're headed to Paris the first week of May armed with watercolor blocks, moleskinne watercolor pads, winsor newton watercolor sets and conte crayons, cameras and a gaggle of memory cards, and an unhealthy appetite for French desserts. Many thanks for the inspirations.ReplyDelete
I was reading this bittersweet post on a Blackberry in my mom's hospital room. Even under those circumstances, you carried me along with you. And lifted my spirits. You give me new ways to look and I'll be taking my camera along with the usual notebooks on our daughter's college tour in a week. Ithaca, Poughkeepsie, Tacoma and Portland aren't Paris but I will work on capturing their essence with what I've learned from reading your blog. Merci as always.ReplyDelete
thank you carol for your wonderful wonderful wonderful posts of paris. I have only been there once and spent most of my time in the museums and so missed a lot of the wonders that you have described in your blog.
