text: He's only been in this game for three years, but Gov. Richard Dale Snyder is embarking on the toughest assignment of his young political career by sending emergency manager Kevyn Orr into the city to financially save it from itself.It's historic and filled with fish hooks.No other governor has contemplated such a move even though the financial condition of the state's largest city has always been an iffy proposition dating all the way back to Gov. Bill Milliken in the 1970s.Each subsequent governor after him dealt with the challenge but never helped to resolve it. This governor is hoping his EM move will get the job done once and for all. If it works, he'll be revered by many as a champ. If not, who knows what they will call him?The governor has moved quickly on this. On Tuesday Detroit officials suggested an EM was premature. Give us just a little more time, they petitioned the Snyder administration.A key member of the governor's financial review team that has pawed over the books in Motown offered this pointed conclusion: "Essentially" the city had its chance.And some would add, they blew it.Snyder never wanted to do this which is why he signed off last April on a consent agreement that he hoped would place the city on a path to solvency and not an EM.Eleven months later, the governor obviously concluded the city didn't get it done, so Thursday he pulled the EM trigger.Protests and court challenges are likely. The governor knows all this is coming but yet "he is ready to be accountable," according to one source which is what this governor is all about.He'll take some flak and there is no guarantee it will work, but he thinks it will and for him that's good enough.Assuming he wins the court challenges, he'll want to demonstrate some early successes to lower the anxiety in the city and show that the EM will work.He does not want "yelling" and if the city council and the mayor play ball, the governor says they can have a role in all this.So the governor makes his move and then the city, with its future hanging in the balance, will make it's.The whole world will be watching.

I always try to keep on hand 5-10 bottles of wine to cook with. While I would never cook with a wine I would not drink; I hesitate to overspend on a wine for cooking.
Currently I have a few bottles of Barkan Classic Merlot and Cab I have been cooking with. I have also used Recanati Cab and Sauvignon Blanc/Chardonnay;
Does anyone have recommendations for Israeli wines (kosher) that they often cook with.

How's this for a duffer's dream? Having lunch with renowned golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. on a veranda overlooking a championship course, then playing a round with an old friend and making a new one who just happens to be a former USGA Vice-President. That's how I spent my Monday, playing hooky was never more fun.
On the day after Justin Rose withstood Merion to win the 113th U.S. Open Championship, a media event was held at the site of the 2017 Open, Erin Hills. Nestled at the southern end of a glacial surge that created dramatic, rolling terrain 10,000 years ago, Erin Hills opened just 6 years ago but in 2010, was awarded 117th national championship. It was built on property where barely a shovel of earth was moved and with the idea of landing a presigous, if not major championship in the future. An ownership change brought about two reconstruction projects and the course is now more than ready to hit the big time.
The local championship team is in place, led by James Reinhart of Milwaukee. The former USGA VP and rules chair was named Monday as the General Chairman for the 2017 Open. Andy Bush is the General Manager at Erin Hills and John Morrissett is the Competitions Director. Morrissett spent time Monday detailing the logistical hurdles that lie in wait over the next couple of years. Thinks like having the Wisconsin Department of Transportation upgrade the roadway access to the course, located just south of Hartford, 35 miles northwest of Milwaukee, a mile west of highway 83 and a long entrance drive off a county trunk. Outside of a visible barn or two, there is no development anywhere near the 625 acre site. Morrissett says in the coming years, volunteer recruitment will begin, they'll need between four and five thousand. Ticket sales and distribution will come a year in front of the event and Morrissette says the USGA is thinking about up to 45,000 tickets per day but the course has so many open spaces for excellent viewing, galleries could easly go well beyond that. They'll also need to house the visitor's, not to mention the participants. Recent building on site offers a small variety of rooms, cottages and suites. Hotel space will lean on nearby Milwaukee or even Madison, an hour to the west. Erin Hills has already conducted USGA events, the 2008 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship and the 2011 U.S. Amateur Championships.
A conversation with Jim Reinhart
As for the golf, I was paired with Reinhart, along with an old friend, Gary D'Amato of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and Lee Murphy of Crain's Chicago Business. Our two caddies, Don and Julius (who spends his summers in Wisconsin and winters at Augusta National), were terrific. Superintendent Zach Reineking wanted to give the media hacks a real taste of U.S. Open conditions, leaving a strip of first cut rough before you find knee high fescue everywhere else. The greens were double cut and rolled, driving the stimp to 11 or 12 according to our caddies. It took several holes for me to adjust to the speed, three putting three of the first four, including the opening par five which I reached in regulation. By mid-round, I had parred five of eight holes. The weather was great, around 80, a bit on the breezy side which toughened up the upwind holes and a single rain cloud moved overhead on the back nine. The timing wasn't kind. After tracing a four iron uphill to the 15th green leaving me my best look at birdie, the skies emptied and the heavy rain led to a lip out. My goal was to break 90 playing the green tees, measuring 6756 yards and I was in good shape heading to the menacing 620 yard, par five finishing hole. I managed the double dog leg great on the first two shots but stumbled home for a double, but still beating the goal with an 89. Even better, played the same Titleist 3 all the way around despite a couple of brushes with the fescue.
The local tournament officials collectively blink when they see the list of upcoming U.S Open sites, off to Pinehurst # 2 next year, followed by another new course, Chambers Bay, then Oakmont, Erin Hills, Shinnecock Hills, Pebble Beach and Winged Foot. They admit it's pretty impressive company. After meeting the team, understanding their determination and most importantly, playing the course, there's little doubt the still young Erin Hills has grown up fast and is more than ready to belong. 2017 can't come fast enough.

Hi everyone! I'm Andrea Harris and I'm excited to share this tutorial with you today. It uses Sweetwater's Mama Said Sew collection, and can be assembled quickly and easily. If you have any questions or if you make your own "Urban Shades Quilt", please feel free to email me or contact me through my blog at Millions of Thoughts . I would love to hear from you!
1 Fat Quarter bundle - Mama Said Sew by Sweetwater
1/2 yard 5498-23 black zigzag stripe for binding
4 yards coordinating fabric for backing
technically were black, but appeared better as a grey
4 Black fat quarters
1 Red fat quarter
12 Cream print fat quarters
2 Cream 'solid' fat quarters
**Set aside remaining fat quarters.
Press open all fat quarters before cutting.
From each grey / black fat quarter cut:
4 - 4.5" x 6.5"
Cream Solid - cut 22 - 2.5" x 6.5"
From each of the 12 cream print fat quarters cut:
2 - 6.5" x 14.5"
2 - 2.5" x 6.5" (cut one additional pair from a random cream print to make a total of 26 strips)
This quilt is made up of two blocks, A & B, and can be assembled in a scrappy or matched way. For this tutorial, I have written instructions as the quilt is pictured, with colours in a particular organized order:
Block A Sewing Instructions: (14.5"block)
1. Sew a 2.5" x 6.5" cream 'solid' strip to a dark 2.5"x 6.5" strip:
7. Sew the center strip to one of the rectangle blocks:
2. Sew the matching 6.5" x 14.5" cream print to complete the block:
Assemble your quilt sandwich using your preferred method, and quilt. I chose a horizontal meander:
70" square quilt.
*My quilt shrank quite a bit in the dryer, turning it into a 65" quilt! But you can see the gorgeous puckering in the photo below:

What if, in 1990, instead of recasting Kermit—something that had been done to Mickey and Bugs Bunny before him—the Muppets had continued on Kermit-less, as "The Simpsons" did after Phil Hartman died. Recall Susan's words on "Seasame Street" about Mr. Hooper in 1982: "Big Bird, when people die, they don't come back." Let's say Robin showed up saying his uncle Kermit had passed away? Or, if that was too dark for Disney, what if Kermit had left show business to go off to start a family with Piggy? Someone else could lead the gang of weirdoes..
It would've made more artistic sense than what happened

Gran Turismo 5 May Not Arrive Until 2010The fifth full-fledged entry in Polyphony Digital's racing simulation series Gran Turismo may not hit PlayStation 3 until 2009 or 2010, according to studio founder Kazunori Yamauchi.
"There's no plans in the works for GT5 yet--that might be 2009, or it might be 2010," Yamauchi told IGN. "But we're totally focused on getting the updates through for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and that's all we're focused on."
Prologue is set to gain several new features, including vehicle damage and video content, later this year. Released in North America this past spring, the $39.99 Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is meant as teaser to the eventual Gran Turismo 5, packing 60+ vehicles and six tracks.
As for the long-awaited PSP edition of Gran Turismo, originally announced in 2004, Yamauchi informed Joystiq that the portable version is likely to arrive after GT5.

I am going to tell you a story.
Erin Cox is a star volleyball player. She is a senior at North Andover High School, just outside of Boston. The 17-year-old was recently suspended by the school for five games and stripped of her captaincy because she was at a party that involved alcohol and, eventually, the police.
Sounds as if the punishment fits the crime?
Based on those facts alone, I would agree. Those were certainly the only facts considered as the school's applied its "zero tolerance" policy to the situation. If only it were that simple.
What if I told you Erin hadn't been drinking?
Does that soften your position?
What if I told you that Erin hadn't even been at the party but for a few moments?
What if I told you that Erin had been at a yogurt shop when she got a phone call from a friend who asked Erin for help getting out of the party?
That tilts your prism a little bit, doesn't it?
Assuming that Erin Cox is telling us the whole truth -- and, based on all the people corroborating her version of the story, I will take her at her word -- she did almost all the right things. She answered the call of a friend. She helped someone get out of a potentially unsafe situation. She had made a better choice for her own social activity that night.
You noticed that I said almost all the right things.
The one thing Erin missed was that she didn't protect herself. I don't mean that she should've refused to help because she might get in trouble. That's the last thing I mean as I rather admire her selflessness.
Hindsight being 20/20, of course, I mean that she didn't tell someone. She didn't call or text her mom, Eleanor. If the friend in question felt the situation was unsafe, it was unwise for Erin to plunge herself into it without letting someone else know. The friend did right to call and Erin did right to help, but she didn't account for the "what if..." that seems to happen all too often. Far worse things than a five-game suspension could've befallen her that night.
Is that reason enough to punish her?
No, of course not.
I have zero patience for "zero tolerance" as a policy for almost anything. The older I get, the less I deal in absolutes. I say "always" and "never" less and less often because, as I have gained a wee bit of wisdom, I find that just about every rule has an exception.
As Granddad put it:
"Boy, all generalizations all false."
That makes just about every "zero tolerance" policy ultimately worthless. It looks and sounds tough, but it's really just a lazy, spineless, cowardly way to paint every situation with one easy stroke of a very broad brush. It teaches students such as Erin Cox to protect themselves, but in the wrong ways.
I'm glad she didn't take that lesson.
The cautionary portion of this tale should be "Don't go it alone." The friend knew it [good for her] and I wish Erin had known it then. She'll get better at it, hopefully without getting bitter about it.
The moral of this story is:
Erin Cox did the right thing for the right reason.
North Andover High School did the wrong thing for the wrong reason.
Unfortunately, you can't un-ring a bell.

The smoke is coming from the Rim Fire near Yosemite which has burned 84+ square miles and is nowhere near contained. The air quality is now in the unhealthy range.
The Washoe County Health District says if you are sensitive to the smoke, stay inside, if possible. Remain indoors with the windows closed and air conditioning on and reduce prolonged or heavy exertion while outdoors.
It released this message Thursday afternoon:
Smoke from the Rim Fire in California is impacting the Truckee Meadows. Although our 24 hr average and AirNow AQI indicates the Good/Moderate ranges, rapid changes have created Unhealthy levels. An AQI in the "Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups" and "Unhealthy" ranges means that people with respiratory or heart disease, the elderly and children should avoid prolonged exertion; everyone else should limit prolonged exertion. If the smoke is affecting you, remain indoors with the windows closed and air conditioning on and reduce any outdoor activity. Visit www.ourcleanair.com for additional air quality information or call the Air Quality Hotline at 785-4110.
Douglas County Emergency Management and The Bureau of Pollution Control are closely monitoring the air quality area there. The most recent air samples from this afternoon put the currently air quality in the upper end of the moderate level in the Carson Valley. This is likely to move into the 'unsafe' category within the next few hours.
The Rim Fire is currently threatening about 2,500 homes, hotels and camp buildings. Fire officials on Thursday said the fire had grown to 53,860 acres and was only 2% contained, down from 5% Wednesday. California Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency. Brown issued the declaration Thursday, freeing up funds and firefighting resources for the blaze. The fire has destroyed two homes and seven outbuildings and led to the voluntary evacuation of the gated summer community of Pine Mountain Lake, which has a population of 2,800. The fire also caused the closure of a 4-mile stretch of State Route 120, one main path into Yosemite on the west side. The park remains open and can be accessed via state Routes 140 and 41 and State Route 120 from the east side.
The fire remains under investigation. (The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

I just realized that I never got any links to d/l the qp's for this exchange.
I never got any of the links for this exchange
BUT, if it wasn't included in the layouts that you received, I wonder if it didn't get uploaded to the 4shared site properly? I never heard from anyone that there was a problem or it was missing, but if it wasn't part of the set, I am not going to worry about it now. That's too much trouble to go back and fix at this point!

There are times when I wonder if my ears are processing information correctly when forwarding same to the understanding sensors of my rapidly diminishing brain. Or perhaps the problem could be that I am failing to comprehend the intricacy of the messages the brain is being asked to decipher.
This self doubt started a few days ago when one of my heroes, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, called it a "false argument" to say the feds have a spending problem. Maybe it's just me, but I believe when governmental expenditure exceeds income by more than one trillion dollars-plus a year for the past four years, it constitutes a drunken-sailor-type spending problem.Subscribe to Read!

My Step 1
My Step 1
Step Two:
2. Ok.. Get our your guides and place one dead center running vertially. That is your Midline. Now you have to find a rectangle or square relatively thin frame and place it in the middle of one side of your layout, between the midline and one side. Now make 3 copies so that you have 4 altogether. Select the bottom two frames and pull them slightly towards the midline or center of your layout. Now rotate the bottom one just slightly towards the midline and then the one on top of it slight towards it. Now rotate the 2nd frame to the outside edge, and the top one rotates the same way as the 2nd one but not as far. That's it! Any questions.. please ask!
Post your layout by Tuesday, January 15, 2013 The next step will be posted Wednesday, January 16 2013
creative greetings,
I have no clue at all, so I just wait and see what the rest come up with
Proud to be CTM for Created by Jill and ViolaMoni
I am afraid I have no idea about the placing of the 4 frames...
creative greetings,
When you say "Now rotate the bottom one just slightly towards the midline and then the one on top of it slight towards it" did you mean the one on top should be away from the midline?

UPDATE: DPS Officials tell KLTV that all lanes of 155 have been re-opened.
Officials tell KLTV that an 18 wheeler and another vehicle are involved in an accident on Highway 155.
The accident happened on Highway 155 just south of Loop 49 near Noonday.
DPS officials tell us a vehicle collided with the 18 wheeler, which ruptured the tank on the 18 wheeler. This spilled close to 325 gallons of diesel fuel onto the highway.

Eliot Spitzer was nicknamed the "Sheriff of Wall Street" when he was New York's Attorney General.
His hard nosed style brought him to the governor's mansion in 2006 but he resigned after an investigation linked him to a high-class call-girl rign.
Now Spitzer is teaching at CCNY, writing financial columns and appears as a financial expert on cable news shows.
Spitzer appeared on Tuesday's Good Day New York to share his opinions on the latest developments in New York politics. He talked about David Paterson, Andrew Cuomo, and Kirsten Gillibrand on the show.

It may be hard to tell because of how hairy Yukari Mayama´s pussy is, but she´s super tight. That´s why it´s such a hard squeeze when these guys are sticking a vibrator deep inside of her. It´s a two-man operation, as one directs the vibrator on her clit while the other steers the jack rabbit inside of her, until she takes over and masturbates.

Photographs of Victorian men and women in occupational dress were less common during earlier stages of photography before 1860. Men with prestigious careers, in the law, the church, education, or the armed forces, tended to be the only Victorians photographed in their occupational dress. Wealthy families did however on occasions have their servants photographed, possibly to show they were part of the family unit, and to demonstrate their social position and prestige.
Photographs of labouring men and women in their working dress are more likely to have been taken by professional photographers who were seeking to record a "picturesque scene" or an activity or trade they knew was fast disappearing as industrialism and mechanisation continued apace.

Automotive reviews say General Motors' new 'all-electric' car is not that different from the Prius.
This post comes from Truman Lewis at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
General Motors is hoping the "all-electric" Chevy Volt delivers a big charge to its domestic sales, but critics are making the shocking charge that the car is really a hybrid, more along the lines of the Toyota Prius, which uses both gas and electric engines in combination.
The controversy began with Edmunds.com, Motor Trend, Popular Mechanics and other auto-focused scribes but has spread to the august New York Times, which harrumphed the other day that GM's insistence that the car is fully electric is "hard to understand."
A record-low rate of 4.19% is still not luring buyers, but more homeowners are refinancing.
Forty-four years ago, my parents took the big plunge and bought their first house. With a Veterans Administration loan, they got an interest rate of about 4%.
Who would have thought their grandchildren would be able to buy a house at the same interest rate all these years later? Well, they could if they had better jobs.
Yes, mortgage rates fell again this week, to an average of 4.19% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the lowest rate since Freddie Mac began keeping statistics in 1971. National Bureau of Economic Research statistics, from a time when loan rules were different, show that the last time we saw rates that low was 1951.

A mother's attempt to teach her daughter about budgeting backfires.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Melinda writes in:
My 12-year-old daughter and I are having a money war of sorts. At the start of the school year last month we went shopping for clothes together. I said she could spend $250 any way she chose as long as she got a certain number of items -- some underwear, some socks, some jeans, some shirts, and so on. I told her that she could spend more, but it would come out of her allowance.
She proceeded to buy only the minimum amount of socks and underwear so she could buy another shirt that she liked. Now she's having to do laundry twice a week and is complaining all the time about it. I told her to use her allowance to buy the underwear and she says that's completely unfair. What do you think?

Shredding is good. I'm all for shredding. But shredding isn't enough.

All of these steps can help, of course, but some of the biggest threats to your identity lie beyond your control -- in the big databases of your personal financial information that companies gather, sell and often fail to protect.

Dungeon Siege 3 preview
Dungeon Siege 3 is getting ready to bring its monster-hacking loot fest to consoles and PC in less than a month. Though I'd gotten my hands on the first couple of hours back in February, I recently revisited a near-final version for the Xbox 360 to see how Obsidian's return to the kingdom of Ehb is shaping up.
My earlier preview laid out the basic Dungeon Siege 3 design. It delivers solid, mission-based hack-and-slash gameplay, and rewards players with loot at every turn. In these respects, the game is very successful. In the first half-dozen hours of the campaign, I never felt as if I were fighting the same kind of enemy for too long, the environments (even the locations near the opening town) were visually varied, and I was popping into the menu every fifteen minutes or so to equip some better armor, weapons, and accessories.
Having already spent some time playing as Lucas (the warrior) and Anjali (the Archon), I began by trying out the characters I'd never seen before. Reinhart Manx is a mage that channels his power through an arcane gauntlet, and Katarina, who is a gun-wielding Lescanzi witch. Both are interesting additions to the playable roster, requiring slightly different play-styles. Katarina and Reinhart are much stronger at range, but do have serviceable close-range capabilities. As with the other characters, it's easy to see how some abilities might be more useful when combined during cooperative play, but I still found all of the characters to be perfectly capable choices for single-player adventuring.
I hold some misgivings about Dungeon Siege 3, however. During my first couple of hours, I found it incredibly difficult to get invested in the story. It's not that the dialog sequences, cinematics, and bits of text-based lore that you'll find aren't well written; they just seem a bit dry. Much of the information relayed (at least early-on) contains a wealth of detail about the world and its inhabitants, but, to me, much of it felt like exposition for its own sake. It got to the point where I became reluctant to ask characters for supplemental information, and found myself wanting to skip through the blocks of text that are presented when a new piece of lore is discovered.
Those already familiar with Dungeon Siege fiction may find it less of an issue, but I personally found that it took longer for me to get into the story than I'd have preferred. It's a little troubling, given the game's role-playing nature. That said, certain quests were more immediately engaging on an individual basis, like when I was asked to deliver a care package to a woman's husband, who I eventually found hanging upside down in a cave full of giant spiders. The dungeon for this sidequest was also unique, giving me the strong sense that even the game's optional missions aren't just throwaway quests.
As the screenshots show, Dungeon Siege 3 looks quite good during its action and exploration segments; however the cinematic close-up dialog sequences betray some flat textures and lighting. Character models in these segments aren't very expressive and behave rather woodenly, ultimately giving the sense that they aren't meant to be viewed from up close. The visual disparities between cinematic dialog segments and the game's primary isometric third-person perspective can be jarring. The game will serve up beautiful battlefield vistas one moment, and homely-looking close-ups, the next.
Presentational quibbles aside, killing monsters, looting, and upgrading--Dungeon Siege 3's meat and potatoes--are all handled well, with responsive controls and a good number of unique spells and abilities to play with. I had something of a tough time getting into the story, but the minute-to-minute gameplay and some fun scenarios have been compelling enough to carry the experience so far, and keep me looking forward to the June 21 release on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3.

text: Jesi is like that with Chinese. When she was young, she just happened to get sick on a night we'd ordered Chinese food and ever since she flat out refuses to touch it. Even though no one else got sick (and we had the same thing) she blames the food. I'm not sure what her reasons were, but she also didn't eat cheese, not even pizza, for a good 10 years.
