A special thank you from Bethel Park Police Department
On behalf of the Bethel Park Police Department, I would like to publicly thank everyone who supported the Police Pals Food Drive a well as the Police Pals Adopt-A-Family project. Both programs were very successful this past year and we were able to help a lot of families in Bethel Park. The generosity shown was tremendous, and it further exemplifies the kind of community Bethel Park is, "A truly generous, caring and close community."
The food drive was a little different this year, in its 20th year. The Bethel Park Fire Department, as well as Tri Community South EMS, assisted in collecting monetary donations as well as food donations.
The result was more than $3,500 raised as well as more than 65 well packed boxes of food. Numerous volunteers also got involved this year in the collections and their efforts did not go unnoticed. We had grade school students, middle school students, high school students, young adults and senior citizens working together for one common goal: To help families in need in our own community. The result was 266 boxes of food distributed, as well as two bulk donations to SHIM and St. Winifred food pantry. It is impossible to name every individual who assisted in this effort, but just know your time and efforts were deeply appreciated. I want to thank 2 Men and a Truck for donating the collection boxes, as well as the distribution boxes.
I also want to thank Walmart and Shop 'N Save for allowing us to collect food and funds on two consecutive Saturdays in December.
The Adopt-A-Family also was very successful. The original goal was to assist the same amount of families which we helped in 2011, which was 24. But that total was easily surpassed! The Adopt- A- Family was able to help more than 38 local Bethel Park families. The generosity and genuine concern for fellow neighbors was overwhelming! So many people called and emailed to offer their help in many different ways.
Some offered to adopt a family as a group or individually. Some offered gift cards or children's gifts, and some wrote a check! There were many community leaders that contacted Chief Mackey and I, and asked how they could help. Their efforts again did not go unnoticed. The program is totally anonymous, but for the people who offered help in any way, I cannot thank you enough. You certainly did make a difference right here in Bethel Park. Thirty-eight families had a memorable Christmas because of all of your efforts. You all exemplify the true meaning of Christmas, and I think collectively we all have shared in an accomplishment to very proud of. I cannot publish any of the sponsor's names, but please accept my thanks for helping make the Police Pals Adopt-A-Family such a huge success.
I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank Chief Mackey for allowing these programs to be conducted and for his support for the programs.

Oh, is that Taylor's cat? He's a cutie.
Litter box for cats. How to keep it from smelling.
Do you have a cat? I do.
It's kind of a bother changing the litter box, and sometimes it can smell.
So one day I thought about the product that I sell for cleaning pipes, and remembered something about being good for latrines. Latrines? Isn't that all a litter box is? So I grabbed a can of Bio-Clean and sprinkled just a little bit in with the sand. I know it's safe for my cat, because it's so safe you can eat it right out of the can. So.........I sprinkled just a little bit in there, and wow! It never smells anymore. It's crazy. Why didn't I think of this before?
If you have a cat, or if you have a cat and we're going to your home to fix or install plumbing, then ask us about it. It's crazy good stuff for your cat.
The cat is loving it.

Oh, is that Taylor's cat? He's a cutie.
How often do you change the litter in the box now that you're using the Bio-Clean? We have 2 cats that use 1 box. The solids are scooped out daily, and the box is emptied, disinfected, and changed every Friday. But occasionally, especially during humid weather, we can smell it.
I couldn't find Bio-Clean locally and bought some other kind of enzyme drain cleaner that looked and smelled like Rid-X. Is Bio-Clean a completely different formula? Maybe I should order some, try it in the litter box and in the drains. (The drains get filled with that black slimy crap that smells like sewer).
You are supposed to buy the Bio-Clean from Terry, To help support these great Forums...
But Two cats do not like to share the same box, even if they do. It is not there own Territory.
Have a Great Day, and take time out to play.
P.S. I forgot to mention Free Shipping, And it last for 9 Lives... (Results not typical)
Last edited by Terry; 01-14-2014 at 07:02 PM. Reason: P.S.
I started using the Bio-clean that I sell about two months ago. Now you can't tell I have a cat in the house.
I'm not real good at this, the cat was dropped off a few months ago, and at first, it was bad. Then I tried the Bio-clean, and it's pretty surprising. I've seen it work on waste lines before. Do the treatments and then run a snake through a week later and find nothing. But it was pretty funny to just sprinkle a little in the box and forget about it for a while.
Sounds like good stuff Terry.
I have a septic system, and was using Rid-X, until they made it a liquid. The old stuff worked better.
Bio-clean has to be way better. Best thing sense baking soda, For a cat box.
Have a Great Day, Party Hardy...
This is a great forum. I've been a semi regular here since I bought my first Toto Drake in 2005, and it was here where I learned about the only brand I could with a good conscience recommend to anyone who may ask.
When Sierra (pictured) joined us last year, there was about a half day of hissing and growling, and she and Tyler have been friends ever since. We had two litter boxes at first; one in each bathroom, for the reasons you mentioned above. Then both started using both of the boxes, so we went down to one. There hasn't been a problem. We're in the cabin for the season; arrived two days ago. I set up the box, and within a few minutes both remembered where it was and were in it within a few minutes of each other.

I just submitted my order for Bio-Clean. I'll try it in the litter box and in the drains (both home and camp get that crappy black gunk in them).
Having a cat or cats take a little bit of adjustment, but in the end they are worth having. Glad you got the problem with the box solved. I'll let you know how the Bio-Clean works in the box.
The Bio-Clean arrived a couple days ago. I have just changed (and cleaned) the litter box. The box is lined with a lawn and leaf bag to make it easier to change. After the old litter and bag is removed, the pan is sprayed with Odo-Ban, wiped dry.
I put 1 tablespoon of Bio-Clean at the bottom of the new liner, then added 10 lbs of Tidy Cats non clumping litter, and then sprinkled another tablespoon of Bio-Clean on top.
30 seconds after leaving the bathroom, Sierra came in and "tinkled" in the box (it can't stay clean for even a half hour.... like cleaning the toilet and 30 minutes later someone coming in and taking a nasty dump in it)!
The box will be changed again next Friday. This Sunday night, we'll be going to camp for a couple of days and the cats will stay home with extra food and water, but nobody to scoop the box until we get home. I'll let you know how the Bio-Clean works.
My cats are so fussy they would know it wasn't the primo stuff here and might not use it. One is ancient and smart. He is 23 years old.
I added a new cat to my home,he followed me and just came inside,I will have to go through neighborhood today to see if he is lost or left out,he is now hiding under my bed when I get a pic of him I will post.I have two other cats and they were freaked but now they are OK.

That is really nice of you Clay. I can't wait to see his picture. I have 2 cats, and they are funny together. The one is an old man, and the other one is a youngster who gets on the old man's nerves. But, he is keeping him spry and running, lol. They look so much alike it aint funny. Even the markings in the same places. I told my son who bought him for me that if he lives to be 23 I will have looked at the same cat for 46 years!
I have to add this
I haven't watched the video's yet, due to a time issue, and, also, due to a time issue, I asked my son to bring home kitty litter because I changed it, and what I got left is next to nothing. Well, son forgot, so I sat a roll of TP in the litter box. He called me, asking if I knew I did this, well, I am not that old that I didn't know what I was doing, not yet, anyways, lol, give me some time to work on that one; but, I instructed him to help the cats with it. WOW! DID that kitty litter come fast when he thought he was instructed to wipe the cats butts.
I changed the litter box last night before we headed out for the weekend. This batch had the Bio-Clean mixed in it. With nearly 7 days on it, and in the warm humid weather, while it was not 100% odor free, it wasn't as bad as before using the Bio-Clean.
Terry, how much Bio-Clean did you use, and how did you apply it? I used 1/2 scoop on the bottom, added the litter and then put another 1/2 scoop on top, and let the cats mix it in then they dug and buried.

Wishes and PainTaevra could feel the stone behind her cracking. The hand against her throat holding her off the ground. Though her nails drew blood along his forearm, he didn't flinch from the pain. It was as if he couldn't feel it. He pulled back his other arm, fingers curled into a fist as he looked at her. Those eyes were filled with rage and hate. Emotions she hadn't seen since someone had hurt her nearly a millennia ago. "Jet! Do it if you're going to!" She managed to growl at him, narrowing her eyes as he hesitated just a moment. Long enough for her to curl her knees up to her chest. Kicking off his chest collapsed the rock behind her leaving her in a pile of debris as he fell away from her.Wishes and Pain by KawaiiDay
Taevra got to her feet quickly, taking the opportunity to go on the offensive. She slashed out at him as he backed away, shielding his face with his forearms. A roundhouse left, jab right as he backed into the rock around them with a grunt. Taevra tucked her body as he backed against a rock wall, trapped as
Balikos' IntroductionThose eyes were the eyes of a killer. He could break her in half with barely a thought, yet she still stood and looked him in the eye. Balikos Yakvir Tamaran was the most intimidating dragon Taevra had met, but she still didn't back down. "What do you want childling?" The deep bass voice in her head made her almost cringe as it pounded against her skull, but still she didn't move. He was trying to make her run and flee this foolish expedition, but the many waiting outside this sacred place needed her. She needed his help whether she liked it or not.Balikos' Introduction by KawaiiDay
"Balikos, I need a favor." This made the black dragon before her grin, showing large needle sharp teeth. as he exhaled smoke through his nose.
"A favor?" He purred, locking that one green gold eye on her. It was bigger than she was across the shoulder, sizing her up for her worth now.
"I need to speak with him while his mind is his own." Balikos narrowed that eye at her, uncurling from before his hoard and moving to show her his full size.
A discussion between Taevra and KiatiTaevra paced the room anxiously. In the fourteen hours she'd been able to sit still, she hadn't once sat down or stopped moving. A haunted look crossed her face as Kiati smiled weakly at her from the nearest chair. "You know maybe the Gods are testing you? Every time one of you heads towards the other there's problems. For example Tiber and Criska. You didn't pursue him because of Criska and he didn't pursue you because of both Kyshin and Tiber. Maybe instead of running into the arms of someone else, you should wait for him here with us?" With a loud snap she bit through her pinky nail, spitting it out near Kiati and embedding the razor sharp nail in the wooden floor.A discussion between Taevra and Kiati by KawaiiDay
"That's the problem. Every single time I want to run and hide from these suitors, another one who seems perfect is thrown my way." Taevra deepened her voice and took on a mocking tone.

|Just pictures I loved a lot that I could buy.. when I had moneys..
I remember the day we met. We were little kids. I was stupid and trying to catch a lizard I'd never have the reflexes to capture. You stood there mesmerized by a tomboy making a total fool of herself. After a moment I noticed you and smiled. I hadn't thought about the fact you were cute. Just the fact that I wanted to catch a lizard. I was determined and that overpowered a lot of other things.
So I decided to ask for your help. After a few minutes of talking, we parted ways. It was the first time we would talk face to face and I didn't know what we had started. I was bitten by fire ants soon after taking your advice and I went back home to my birth place. You went on for a few years just like I did. After that summer, things got weird and things started to happen until we met again.
A thousand miles or so apart and years later, we played the same game on the same server and met again. This time I was interested, though burned badly by past relationships. I remember my heart pounding as I fell hard for you. I didn't know what would happen. I didn't realize how much it would a.
Now I proudly wear the sign for Pisces on my back. I celebrate your birthday every year without fail. My thoughts and dreams are constantly about you. My heart refuses to move on. My loyalties don't falter.
I went to your house on the last of my savings and a prayer. I flew alone, lied to everyone I knew, and tried to convince your Mom to see you. I nearly broke down in tears and begged her. But instead my pride held me in check. I wasn't going to be a grovelling child. I am a full grown woman who wanted to see the other half she swore she left behind years ago.
But when I look in the mirror at my back, I realize that I can't let it go. I touch the pendants around my neck and murmur about you when I'm scared. I pray for guidance and for your happiness. I only wanted to see you smile just once and not see that pain in your eyes anymore. The pain that everyone swears doesn't exist. But I can sense it. The lies, the false promises. I can feel it in the way you speak and are. I just know when it isn't you.
It's been months that I've had my eyes open. That I've fought to wake myself and stop lying. Stop the dreams and the lies to myself that I can move on. That I can let go. With each day my resolve grows stronger. The strength within me makes me want to stand and fight. To win back the love that I lost or finally move on. To see for myself what you've become and finally hear it from your lips before me that it is either finished or just beginning.
Is it so wrong just to want a conclusion? To want to know the truth about it all? To stand in front of you and hear it from you? Not through someone else or from an e-mail. I just want to hear it. See the look on your face as you tell me what is real and what is not. It infuriates me that it has to be this hard. That you can't just face me and tell me how you feel.
I've spent the last eight years in terror that you hated me for what happened. For what split us apart. I think that is what kept me from accepting you back into my life. That fear of you being spiteful. Hurting me for being stupid. The fear of you taking my heart and tearing it from my chest just like all the hurtful words before.
I remember trying so many times to talk to you. To make you understand that I still loved you. That I still wanted to stand by your side no matter what and to hear you tell me to forget about you. To move on and get over it. Each time I'd fall you'd tell me the same thing. But the one time when you tell me to come back, what am I supposed to do? Run to you when all of my memories scream trap? When all of your actions don't even make sense over the years?
I think my problem is that I don't listen to my heart. I wanted to pack my things, tell my Ex go to hell and disappear with you. Even if the consequences destroyed us. But I couldn't. Fear held me right there. Sense of duty and responsibility held me there. I feared he'd kill himself. That it would be my fault. That I would blame myself an let it hinder us.
But now I sit here crying myself to sleep at night thinking of you. Thinking of how close I was to seeing you and how much I wanted to scream out your name and make you come out and face me. It tears me apart inside to know I was thirty feet from you and all that separated us was two doors and your Mom.
I blame myself for not being stronger. For not seeing you sooner. For not doing a lot of things I should have had the strength to do. Yet I can't help it. I can't make myself love or hate on command. I just think I'm scared that if I let go of you now, I won't be able to love you again.
But I keep coming back to you even when I've damned you in my mind. Even when I've given up all hope for us, you somehow still exist in my heart. Like the flame that won't ever go out. And I realize this is ridiculous and stupid for some people, but it's real for me. I don't understand why this keeps happening.
I pretend to be that perfect girlfriend in the beginning. I fake who I am without even trying. I love all their quirks and charms, look over their flaws and try to be the girl of their dreams. But when I realize they aren't you, I drop the act and watch them walk out of my life. I watch the doors slam in my face and I find myself alone with my memories again. The only things that keep me comforted and alive in this cold cruel world.
After these last few months without any physical comfort, I've come to find myself quite alone. At first it drove me insane. I wanted to reach out to every scumbag for some kind of touch. Even the mere fact that they liked me and wanted me comforted me. But I grew tired of the games. It's been two months now without anyone to "love" me. And I feel my heart breaking. But I can't go back to that life of empty love and promises.
It was a pathetic and sad existence that I was trying to carve for myself. The happiness was short lived like a drug. It wasn't the real thing. Happiness is something you should naturally feel. Not have to work at to keep. We all have our ups and downs, but when my true emotions make the guys run, why should I bother? It's a game of masks and lies. Love isn't built on lies and false promises. I should have learned that by now from the best teachers out there.
I just wish that I could hear your voice tell me everything is going to be okay again. That life is going to get better and we're going to work towards a better tomorrow. For both of us. I'm just scared of the fall out. I can't lose you again. I think it would kill me.
But how do I tell every guy out there that I'm taken by a ghost from my past? One that isn't even in my present except in my heart? That I cry myself to sleep every night because I want you to smile for real. That I can tell you have the same hole in your chest just from a picture. That your heart is as broken as mine and your life as messed up. It's like we're truly soulmates or something.
If after eight years I can't let you go, can't we try again? I feel like I should enter a nunnery and wait in meditation for the day you walk through those doors.
As my twin sister tells me often, I'm boy crazy. But that's only a cover. I know that now. I'm just trying to hide from the pain this hole in my chest causes. The emptiness and the tears I keep shedding for you.
I'll wait forever if that's how long it takes. For all eternity. I promise. Because life isn't about sex or living it up. It's about happiness. And yes, I can be happy within myself. But I don't want to do it without you. I don't want to see anyone else beside me but you. Because it's a lie. That happiness and love is a lie.
The real happiness and love lies in your arms where I belong.
The AngelKitten and the Ferret.
The wind and fire.

RTC Project Managers Marchon Miller and Howard Riedl focus on many of the improvement projects happening in Sparks and were able to dissect the ins-and-outs of the developing designs Tuesday.
Nichols Boulevard Bike and Pedestrian Project
The RTC assessed the need for better access to its transit system stops and the debilitated state of the sidewalks on Nichols Boulevard from Victorian Avenue to Howard Drive. Miller said the project will use only existing space in creating a new cycle track on the road that will link downtown Sparks to the Sparks Marina and Legends.
"Nichols (Boulevard) is an extremely wide road and there is a lot of room, actually, so we will be able to put in the cycle track and a planter area with decorative lighting that will kind of match the theme already on Victorian (Avenue)," Miller said.
The project is estimated to cost $1.3 million and is being paid for by the RTC fuel tax. Construction began on Nichols Boulevard on July 5. The cycle track's concrete has already been poured and, according to Miller, the project is moving smoothly and is expected to be done around Oct. 4.
Miller said the plans for the cycle track were widely popular among City of Sparks officials, who said continuing the already improved bicycle transit in Sparks to include downtown would only increase the amount of people visiting Victorian Square. The project is already gaining some local support from nearby businesses as well.
"I think what we are trying to do is push whatever people we can from the marina to go all the way downtown," she said. "We also want to make (Victorian Avenue) more friendly for any visitors and help push them out to the marina. We have a lot of timeshares in that section and they have been totally on board, and they have asked to help do some of the landscaping. They are planning to offer bike rentals to push people to the mall and to the marina. We hope people will take advantage of the parking at Legends and use our improved sidewalks and new cycle track."
Victorian Avenue "complete street" project
The "complete street" has been a focus of the RTC for several years and operates on the notion that streets are not only used by motor vehicles. According to Riedl, Victorian Avenue is now a prime example of a street that offers public transit, pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicle options to residents and visitors.
"With complete streets we can offer increased safety and we are able to create more space, increase mobility choices and overall it offers more livability benefits," Riedl said.
"It is important to our transit system that our passengers have safe and convenient access to our systems. And, of course, it is a federal law that we must provide ADA access on our sidewalks."
Riedl said that Nichols Boulevard, Victorian Avenue and Vista Boulevard are examples of "existing roadways," which have more room on them than needed for vehicles and are roads the RTC can add more options on.
Greenbrae Drive Pavement Repair Project
The area on Greenbrae Drive between El Rancho Drive and Rock Boulevard began undergoing construction on Sept. 4 to repair the frequently used roadway. Riedl said that area of Greenbrae Drive is home to one of the RTC's public transit routes.
"Our buses are very heavy and Greenbrae (Drive) is basically a neighborhood street. Our buses really have just taken a toll on that road," he said. "We still have a ways to go over there but we hope to be done by Thanksgiving before the weather begins to turn too cold."
The project will also repair about a block of Merchant Street beginning at Sullivan Lane and heading east about 500 feet. The project is estimated to cost $1.7 million and is funded by the RTC fuel tax.
Vista Boulevard Sound Wall Project
Sound walls have been put on the east side of Vista Boulevard from N. Los Altos Parkway to Wingfield Hills Parkway. Construction of the sound walls is complete and the final stages of the project are now in place, according to Miller.
"The graffiti coating was added last week and the hydroseeding will be done when the weather begins to cool a little bit," she said, adding that crews have been replacing many lost trees in the area of the construction and will continue to repopulate and improve the area's landscape as long as the weather permits.
The RTC approved a $2 million budget and construction costs are estimated at a little more than $1 million.
4th Street/Prater Way Corridor Project
A $27 million project to improve sidewalks, bike lanes and overall road conditions along 4th Street and Prater Way has been approved by the RTC. The managing department was denied grant funding after a competitive battle, but remains optimistic that the work will get done.
"We are always looking to do bits and pieces of that project. When we have pavement improvements that come up we can look at the plans for that corridor and try our best to work toward those goals," Riedl said. "We will continue to do what we can with our local funds."
Community Involvement
The RTC is in the process of updating its Regional Transportation Plan and will be finalizing the work of citizen and agent groups. The next planned community workshop will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 11 at the Washoe County Senior Center on 9th Street in Reno.
The RTC will be previewing preliminary results for the plan and the projects involved and will be seeking the input of the community.

Perry said he will appeal the fine.
Charging in untouched, Perry sacked Luck and forced a fumble, which was recovered inside the Colts' 20-yard line by teammate D.J. Smith during the second quarter. Green Bay led 14-0 at the time and almost certainly would have extended the lead to at least 17-0. Instead, Perry was flagged for leading with the crown of his helmet on a vicious hit.
"I've just got to be smarter with the way I wrap up," he said. "You know, it's hard, because I felt like I did the right thing by getting him down but it wasn't good enough. There's a better way to approach it."
Perry called the penalty and fine a "gray" area.
"That's a tough one," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said on Monday. "I mean, he came so clean and he hit him with such velocity, and I'm sure what they're going to say is he hit him with the crown of his helmet probably. So, the only thing you can tell a guy is he has to turn his head and try to get his shoulder in there. But when you're coming full speed around there, he did hit him in the shoulder area. It was a vicious collision, as you saw the ball come out. It's just really too bad because you design things and they work the way you design them and the ball comes out and we're going to have the ball inside the 15-yard line."
Luck didn't miss a play despite the impact of the tackle.
"My job is to get the quarterback down and make sacks and be an all-around player but, nevertheless, things like this happen given that we've had issues in the past with helmet-to-helmet hits and hard collisions," he said. "Just got to be more focused on those types of things."

Jonathan Fine was walking through the old housing project looking for the right words.
Georgian art deco fusion? Georgian eclectic with art deco thrown in? Colonial Revival?
Whatever the right words are, they're not ones typically associated with Chicago public housing. But then, the Lathrop Homes aren't typical.
"This is the best public housing complex Chicago has ever had," Fine said. "It doesn't need to be erased and replaced."
It was Friday morning and as Fine walked along the curving walkways, past the empty low brick buildings, nothing moved but a few geese nibbling at the winter grass. The only sound was the hum of traffic at the intersection where Diversey Parkway meets Damen and Clybourn avenues.
"What's wrong with these trees?" said Fine. "What's wrong with the scale of these buildings? What's wrong with it structurally?"
In his view, nothing.
Fine is an architect, and last week, Preservation Chicago, the group he runs, issued its annual "Chicago 7" report, a list of the city's most endangered architecturally valuable buildings.
On the list were a bank, a church, a former hotel and, less predictably, this public housing complex that sits on 31 acres of coveted property next to the Chicago River.
"Would you believe you're in the middle of the city?" he said. "It's beautiful. Soothing."
The Julia C. Lathrop Homes were built in 1938, during the Great Depression. The development resembled a college campus, with trees and wide lawns, whimsical finials at the rooftops and brick arches that gave way to courtyards. Among its prominent designers was Jens Jensen, the landscape architect who also designed Lincoln Park.
"Notice the quality of the workmanship," Fine said, pointing to the impeccably laid brick. "These buildings were meant to last for the ages."
But in Chicago, this is the age of the tear-down.
For a decade, as Chicago demolished its public housing high-rises, Lathrop's fate has been uncertain. Will it all be razed? Some of it? Will housing remain for the poor and working class?
The public hearings on its redevelopment have frustrated many preservationists, as well as the remaining residents and some people in the nearby prosperous neighborhoods who worry about congestion from new high-rises and big-box retail.
"Opaque," Fine said, describing the planning process.
About the time he said that, a security car rolled up the walkway. The guards told us we couldn't be on CHA property without permission.
We gave them our business cards, then crossed the street to the portion of Lathrop where people still live, and there we met Titus Kerby. We walked with him a few yards, to a courtyard filled with old trees.
"You have 31 acres of great design," Fine said, "but what also makes Lathrop great is that it's a community."
"It's a diverse community," said Kerby, who transferred to this section of Lathrop when the rest was emptied.

As one restrictive abortion law is upheld this week, one falls by the wayside. Last night, the House of Representatives voted 220 to 154 to pass a bill that would ban all abortions (including in cases of incest, rape, and fetal abnormalities) in Washington, D.C. after 20 weeks; although a majority of representatives approved the measure, the vote fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to pass.
The proposed bill had garnered much national attention in recent months. Its sponsor, Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, did not shy away from a reliance on both hyperbole (he repeatedly called late-term abortions "the greatest human rights atrocity in the United States today") and unproven medical theories to advance his agenda. Franks based his bill on the controversial concept of "fetal pain," an issue on which the medical community has reached no firm consensus. The fact that Franks was attempting to regulate the choices of constituents that he did not represent also drew criticism, especially after the District's actual representative, Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton, was not allowed to speak at hearings regarding the bill.
While it's tempting to think that the matter has now been tabled in Congress, the Senate has not yet voted on its companion bill.

Save your money with Michigan First
Like a bank, only better
Credit unions are member-owned financial cooperatives that provide savings, credit and other financial services to their members. Credit unions pool their members' savings, deposits and shares to finance their own loan portfolios rather than rely on outside capital. Members benefit from higher returns on savings, lower rates on loans and fewer fees, on average. Still a little confused? Watch the video!
The Difference Between Banks and Credit Unions – Part 1 by Larissa Walkiw
Credit unions worldwide offer members from all walks of life much more than financial services. They provide members the chance to own their own financial institution and help them create opportunities such as starting small businesses, growing farms, building family homes and educating their children. Each member may run for the board of directors and cast a vote in elections.
Credit unions are known for member service and compassion. Individual credit unions are part of a national system of credit unions that share a common philosophy of member ownership. The Credit Union National Association is an organization dedicated to helping Americans understand the value of credit unions.
Community building and helping people are two of the guiding principles that make credit unions unique. Credit unions help build lives, not just bank accounts. This commitment goes beyond simply investing dollars. In addition to donations and sponsorships, credit unions support charitable organizations, service clubs and community groups through employee fundraising and volunteerism.
It's your $50,000
The potential benefits of credit union membership for young people
Research by the Center for Financial Services Innovation found that 18‑to-24 year olds are far more likely to be among the "unbanked" and "underbanked" than consumers in older age cohorts. Far higher percentages of this youngest adult age cohort use grocery stores and big box stores to cash their checks and report that they find dealing with "banks" (meaning formal depository institutions) "not at all pleasant."
You've likely heard the common comparison of career earnings differential for those who stay in school to complete college versus dropping out of high school or ceasing formal education after high school. Census data shows that a high school graduate can expect to earn approximately $820,000 over his or her lifetime, while a bachelor's degree graduate can expect to earn approximately $1.4 million and a graduate with a Master's degree approximately $1.6 million.
What, in a similar fashion, would be the expected lifetime savings of a young person who conducted a lifetime of financial transactions with a credit union compared to the same set of transactions not using a credit union?
To estimate an answer to this question, we referred to data from the US Federal Reserve Survey of Consumer Finances, 2009 to construct a 50-year "financial lifetime" based on survey results showing average balances for various categories of deposits and loans for households of various ages.
Doing business with a credit union is equivalent to picking a winning lottery ticket with a lifetime payout of nearly $50,000
Applying a typical credit union rate differential to the annual balances, the total lifetime savings that a typical consumer could accrue through a 50-year lifetime of doing business with a credit union compared to doing business with other financial institutions or alternatives would amount to $46,984. In short, doing business with a credit union is equivalent to picking a winning lottery ticket with a lifetime payout of nearly $50,000.
See appendix of the Federal Reserve Survey for a list of balances by age.

"Being young means having a lot of time to grow. As young adults, we're growing every day and we're presented with tons of opportunities, becoming who ever we choose to be!

Here, you're going to find a lot of different blogs, covering things as enjoyable as music and other things as serious as paying for college, but all of this is meant to help you. We'll cover different ideas, ways of saving money, recent happenings and local events. Feel free to comment, ask questions and interact! I'd love to hear from you."

Ever since the local road czars played presto chango with the interchange between State Roads 408 and 417 three weeks ago, something is off during my daily commute.
The drive is longer. I'm routed out of my way as I drive past the remnants of what was once a perfectly good (and more direct) connector between the two highways.
I'll admit it. I'm a shameless gas guzzler who just wants my old road back.
That's not going to happen. The nearly $70 million spent to reconfigure the interchange says so.
The Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority, which masterminded the changes, says it's improving congestion and safety.
The new ramp is a full mile longer from eastbound 408 to northbound 417. Add three-quarters of a mile to go the opposite direction from southbound 417 to westbound 408.
We're creatures of habit. We've been exiting to the left from the eastbound 408 to northbound 417 since the interchange first opened 22 years ago.
The expressway authority decided after all these years that the left-hand exit (it was really more of a fork in the road) was too disconcerting to drivers and caused too much lane swerving.
Here's a solution: Hang some better signs so directions to the University of Central Florida and Sanford are clearer. That would go a long way toward avoiding dangerous lane changes.
But that would have been too simple.
And certainly would have cost far less than the $70 million in contracts that have kept the expressway authority and its contractors busy during a slow stretch.
Naturally, the expressway authority says the complete rerouting of the 408-417 interchange was necessary because it's linked to a bigger project that also includes widening part of the 408 and eliminating the entrance and exit ramps at Valencia College Lane.
The intersection already carries 130,000 vehicles a day, and the authority projects that number will nearly double by 2025.
I'll eat my gas pedal if that happens. Central Florida's growth has been stuck in neutral.
The economy is showing signs of life, but it's hard to imagine the population on the roads doubling in the next 13 years.
And gas prices keep rising. So do tolls. Those are two key factors that discourage people from driving unless they have to.
This summer tolls are set to increase 25 cents in the cash lanes and 9 percent for motorists with transponders.
In the month following the last toll increase in April 2009, traffic for the 417 dropped 13 percent. Traffic on the 408 dropped 9 percent.
Total traffic for all of the expressway authority's roads still hasn't recovered to 2008 levels.
I'm not saying all of the changes connected to the interchange project are bad. Some parts of the 408 are also being widened. That's a big improvement for the toll system's busiest road.
And an earlier round of changes three years ago, including lanes that let drivers with transponders go full speed through tolls, also helped commuters. (The exception to that being the $1.5 million faux bridge over Lake Underhill that is supposed to be Orlando's mini-Golden Gate Bridge. Except ours appears to be fashioned with PVC pipe instead of steel cables. I drove past it for weeks waiting for it to be complete until I realized it was finished.)
Central Florida doesn't have real mass transit yet. SunRail is coming, but it won't help suburbanites like me who live too far away from Interstate 4.
Buses are still considered second-class transportation. We don't spend enough money on Lynx to make it a practical alternative for enough people.
For now, our highway systems are our mass transit.
Some would say widening them is like buying a bigger belt to deal with obesity.
That's the stark reality of local transportation.
We just keep buying more belts. And we end up with jobs like the 408-417 interchange project that take us out of our way.

AUSTIN -- Need a painter? Need a dog sitter? Maybe a maid, or a website? You NeedTo.com.
Plato wrote, "necessity is the mother of invention." That certainly applies to an Austin based start-up.
"Personally I just always needed things done. I really got frustrated. I had to go out and like call people, haggle with people, get quotes, look up reviews. And I'm like 'wow,' there's got to be a better way," said founder Wade Floyd.
So Floyd created NeedTo.Com, a clearing house for people to find help or find work.
"You go to the site, post whatever you need. It could be as simple as walking your dog, to as broad as remodeling your house, or building a website for you. So you just say I need this," said Floyd
He began building the site in late 2011. Extensive background checks are conducted on those offering employment, and each service is reviewed.
"A lot of online reviews now, people just pay people to make up [stuff]. So with ours you only get reviewed if you hired them on the site," Floyd told KVUE News.
While anyone can post 'looking for work,' Floyd says it's especially beneficial for part-timers like college students.
"They could actually get practice doing a skill. Whether it be making logos, or graphic design student, or if they could do copywriting if they're a writing student, or blog for people," Floyd said. "Our biggest mission is creating a place where anybody can find work."
The site is free to use as long as you pay cash for your services. NeedTo.com takes 10 percent if you pay with a credit card. Floyd says 10 percent of all the profits go to job training programs.
Needto.Com has a special discount offer for KVUE users; get $10 credit for your first NeedTo service by entering the word KVUE.

I wonder, if we are allowed to refer to the last prophet as "his holiness"?
asked Apr 08 '12 at 04:09 Arbiter 2●1
edited Apr 25 '12 at 23:37 NesreenA ♦ 199●7●22
a human being cant be holy if you think about the way people precive holyness its somthingthat usually you cant drop it or disrespect it or its out of the ordinary and special but the prophet has said at multiple occations that he is a human being as we all are but the only that makes him different is his message but as long as we follow that message we can be like him we all follow his sunnah does that make us holy? no there wwere times when the sahaba used to try to take over his work and tell him to sit and relax but he said he has that he is a human as they are and he can work he didnt have amazing kingdoms and castles like all the other rulers his time did he didnt make others do his work or surround himself with people that drop to the floor at his command but he had the power to do all of this its not like the popes in christianity how he hides himself in a glass car then goes home to the best of luxeries for doing absoulutly nothing this is how people precive holliness and the prophet was nothing like that we were give a title and its peace be upon him and this is greater that any title you can give after his name
answered Apr 08 '12 at 15:41 NesreenA ♦ 199●7●22
Thanks for your answer Mr. NesreenA, in regards to holiness, I'd prefer to refer to the dictionary definition, which is a state of being holy and blessed, and I cannot deny that the prophet pbuh was both of these. It may be important to note the other very important difference between us and him, he is sinless, therefore, practicing his teaching and following his way will not make us holy, for we are imperfect, it is how our Lord Allah swt created us. The pope I regard as anything but holy, he does not deserve it for he is not a holy man, but the Prophet? pbuh? yes now here is a man, who is assuredly greater than the angles, jinns and humans, and is the most beloved of all creations, supremely blessed, does that not make him holy? regardless if he is human or not?
yes the dictionary definition does describe him but if you refer to the prophet pbuh as his hollyiness people may take it out of context and may thing you are talking about somone else its my personal belive to just say prophet muhammad i wouldnt want prophet muhammad to be sharing the same title as the pope espetially as you agree we both know he isnt holy, wouldnt the equivilant of holy in arabic be kareem as we say al quran al kareem but it would be odd to say al nabi al kareem so i think it would be the same in english we say the holy quran but it would be odd to say the holy prophet
answered Apr 08 '12 at 18:02 NesreenA ♦ 199●7●22
The definition above 2) is what I am referring to, dedicated or devoted to the service of God, religion: a holy man. There are many instances where I have heard of the word the 'holy prophet' and not 'Holy prophet', of course, it is quite possible for people to take it out of context, but that goes for much else, many refer to a prophet (astagfirullah) as a soothsayer. There can be no comparision between the pope and the prophet pbuh, the pope cannot be holy, therefore he cannot be referred to as 'your holiness' by saying his holiness pbuh, it is not the same title as the pope. I have no question that Allah is Al-Quddus (The Holy One). In order to avoid the context issue, I'd think I'd keep the title within my proximity and no one else. In the end Allah knows best. Thanks for all your answers.

I have been working at CHRISTUS Health full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Exposure and experience can be good. The staff below the management level are great to work with. You will not be bored...
Cons – Lack of communication at all levels. Has become to "Corporate". Expectations are high although the workload is even higher and teams are not properly staffed. Little opportunity for advancement unless you push and push and push.
Advice to Senior Management – Support and trust in the staff, they were hired for a reason. Staff teams accordingly so they are not so overworked. Wish the mission range true within the management teams as it use to.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

NASCAR suspends Jeremy Clements for 'intolerable and insensitive remark'
NASCAR has indefinitely suspended Nationwide Series drive Jeremy Clements for making an "intolerable and insensitive remark" during the course of an interview, according to senior vice president of racing operations Steve O'Donnell.
NASCAR announced the suspension was a violation of its code of conduct, but provided no other details.
Clements finished 33rd in Saturday at Daytona after dropping out with an oil line problem.
The suspension and lack of details from NASCAR created speculation on Twitter as to what Clements said in the unspecified interview.
Dunno if this is it, but I just found an interview with Clements from last week in which he speculated NASCAR fixed the pole for Danica.—

Washington, D.C. - Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in recognition of Earth Day, which falls on Sunday, April 22:
"For more than four decades, Earth Day has brought Americans together to protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the environment we all share. This day is an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the cause of a cleaner planet, to the promise of a clean energy economy, to the potential of new technologies, and to the movement to confront the challenge of climate change.
"Democrats in Congress and an army of allies nationwide have led the charge for action - taking concrete steps to expand the clean energy sector, invest in research and launch new industries, create good-paying jobs at home, and cut energy costs for families, workers, and businesses.
"Too often, the environment - from clean air and clean water to the drive for innovation - has come under direct attack by our Republican colleagues. Yet the future of our environment must not fall prey to partisan political games. We must work together to reduce our dangerous dependence on foreign oil, promote and develop renewable sources of energy, lower emissions, and build on Americans' extraordinary success in conservation.
"Addressing this challenge is about building a more sustainable future for our children and grandchildren, securing prosperity and opportunity for all, and keeping America number one across the globe. And on this Earth Day, we must continue the fight to preserve our environment, strengthen our economy, and combat the crisis of global warming, for ourselves and for generations to come."

Serves 4-6
A cottage pie is like a shepherd's pie, except that it's made with beef, not lamb. Here, a hearty filling of ground beef, salty olives, savory tomatoes, and warming spices like chile powder, cumin, and cinnamon rein in the sweetness of the creamy sweet potato topping.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425°F. Line a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and set them cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast until very tender, about 30 minutes
When cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Add the milk, cheese, butter, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion, and 1 tsp. salt. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft, fragrant, and starting to turn golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, chile powder, and cinnamon and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef, season with 2 tsp. salt, and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Tilt the pan and spoon off all but about 1 Tbs. of the fat; return the pan to the heat.
Pour the tomatoes and their juice into a small bowl and crush them with your hands or a fork. Add the tomatoes to the meat and cook, uncovered, until thick, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the olives and raisins and cook for another minute; season to taste with salt.
Transfer the beef mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish. Spread the sweet potatoes over the top in an even layer. Bake until bubbling around edges, about 30 minutes. Switch the oven to a high-broil setting and position the rack about 6 inches from the broiler element. Broil the pie until the sweet potatoes are a bit browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.

1/17/2014Refreshing take on shepards pie
by awhiskandaspoon,
10/30/2013we liked this a lot. the filling reminded me of an empanada filling, unusual for a cottage pie. I used ground turkey instead of beef. rather than roast the sweet potatoes, I simmered them in the milk, butter, etc for about 20 minutes in a covered pot...then mashed them right in the pot.
by linkol,
9/6/2013An exotic enhancement to the humble meat pie. Great to prepare ahead for company.
by Onymous,
8/8/2013A delicious take on cottage pie. Easily my favorite casserole recipe; the spices are pitch perfect. I always leave out the olives but include everything else, especially home canned roasted tomatoes while my supplies last.
by sharontimbit,
1/29/2013This is now one of my favorite recipes - I used the dried cranberries and Italian salad mix of olives, pearl onions, and peppers instead of just the pimento stuffed olives (you can find both at the deli bar in the grocery store).
by Christine73,
12/2/2012We didn't like this. I thought it was going to be great based on all of the excellent reviews, but it was very blah. The flavors didn't stand out. I used good ingredients; organic sweet potatoes, grass fed beef, expensive imported parmesan, Frontier organic spices. I didn't use fresh oregano, maybe that would have helped. There's just two of us and neither wanted to eat the leftovers. What a waste!
by enaile0670,
11/15/2012We thoroughly enjoyed this dish. It was delicious, plus easy to prepare. This is going into our weekly rotation. It's also a great make ahead dish. I prepared exactly as directed, but I will try some tweaks. I'm going to try adding some tomato paste to the softened vegetables and deglaze with wine. I think a bay leaf added with the meat would work, too.
by BasiaCooks,
10/5/2012This has been a hit everytime I've made it. As someone else wrote, our dinner guests helped themselves to thirds. It's a dish you can successfully make a day ahead and then pop in the oven for 30 minutes to heat up.
Like others, I made some adjustments. First, I drastically cut back on the salt which seemed like a seriously unhealthy amount in my book, especially given the olives. Second, I substituted the ground beef with lean ground chicken or lean ground turkey. Finally, I cooked up the meat separately, poured off the fat, then added it to the vegetables to reduce fat but not flavor.
We served it with a kale, red cabbage, and julienned carrot combo and baked apples for dessert. This made a really lovely autumn meal.
by choffman,
3/6/2012I chose to adapt this to a vegetarian recipe by substituting red beans for the meat. I did increase the other veggies for the mirepoix (carrots, onions and celery) slightly. Once the mirepoix was sautéed, I added the presoaked beans and about 2 cups of vegetable broth. I cooked this down, adding more broth or water as needed, until the beans were tender and the liquid was mostly evaporated, about 20 minutes. At that point, I continued with the recipe as printed. Based on other reviews, I also cut the salt significantly and never missed it. It was fantastic- filling, hearty, and delicious on a cold winter night. I will try it next time with meat to compare, but this recipe is definitely a keeper as a midwinter vegetarian meal.
by Cher64,
2/26/2012My husband and I loved this; it's now our favorite version of cottage pie. The seasonings in the filling along with the sweet potatoes are a fantastic combination.
by cindyhw,
2/3/2012After two bites my husband said it was his new favorite meal! Guess I will be making it again. Might try it with ground turkey. Great combination of flavors. We do agree that you need to cut back on the salt.
by ndchef,
1/29/2012I made this without dried fruit, as I didn't have any, and it probably would have helped balance the flavors with the sweet potatoes. Loved the flavor of the meat (with less salt) by itself, it was like piccadillo. But there weren't enough sweet potatoes to go with it, so it didn't quite meld. Next time I"ll use more, as I like the idea of this dish.
by sweetiestace16,
1/25/2012Ok, seriously? 3 teaspoons of salt is waaaaaayyy too much. I only used 2, thinking I'd be conservative, and it was still too salty; 3 would likely have been inedible. Sprinkle the vegetables LIGHTLY with salt; do the same when you add the ground beef. The olives add enough salt on their own, so this should be enough salt for the dish.
Salt aside, we enjoyed the flavors.
by WWAA,
1/12/2012My husband and I both loved this. I followed the recipe exactly and the only change I made was I used fire roasted canned tomatoes instead of plain canned tomatoes. We both found it too salty (and I didnt' even add salt to the sweet potato topping). I would start with 1/3 the salt. You can always add more salt later just before you assemble in the dish for baking.
by MrFattyCakes,
1/12/2012After all the fancy and refined dishes I've made in the past six months, this one has garnered the most applause. Everyone had thirds. The finished product looks like a standard casserole, but when people bite into the sweet potato and taste the cumin and cinnamon, they just go nuts. Made one with the olives and raisins and one without, they loved the one with better. Made it hours in advance and just kept it warm. Removed the foil and baked for 10 minutes more to make the top a little crusty. People piled it on bread and made sloppy joes out of it. I was amazed.
by olicro,
1/11/2012Delicious! Made it for lunch and had the leftover for dinner too. I am not a sweet potato fan but this recipe is a keeper. Followed the recipe almost exactly, the only thing I changed was that I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned b/c I NEVER used canned. Just boiled them to peel then smashed them up with a fork. Wouldn't change anything about this recipe. BTW if you can't handle spicy food reduce the chile powder. Mine came out a bit on the spicy side but I am not sure if it b/c of the chile powder I used from Mexico.
by chefgisela,
1/10/2012Wonderful warm spice flavor. I had no sweet potatoes, but did have a butternut squash to use up. Roasted it as suggested for sweet potato and added one baker potato to roast. Mashed them together as per instructions. YUM!. Now in my recipe favorites box
by sfordscott,
12/19/2011I've made this recipe twice and both times it was amazing! The only substitution I made was using ground chicken instead of ground beef. An incredible mix of flavors, one that I will be returning to again and again.
by marinotsobland,
11/23/2011This was a fantastic dish! I made it last night and I loved it and so did my husband (he got two helpings)! I used fat free evaporated milk instead of whole milk, less cheese (just a bit sprinkled on top), venison instead of beef, and capers instead of olives. It came out very flavorful and rich - even after all of the changes I made to make it a bit more healthy! Yum yum yum! :)
by Sabourin,
11/20/2011This is a real winner recipe. It is a great fall/winter dish. I used raisins and cranberries together and they were wonderful. Also I think that dried cherries would be nice. My sweet potatoes didn't seem very sweet today so I added some maple syrup to them. This is an easy dish to prepare ahead of time. I can't wait to make it again!!!
by greasyregs,
11/9/2011Excellent and fun dish to prepare. I made my own ground beef from boneless chuck (I quit buying market ground beef). Added one chicken andouille sausage ground into the beef to add a bit of spice and slight heat. Nice offset to the sweetness of the potatoes. Added this to my "do it again" list.
by AnnLef,
11/2/2011Made this recipe as written. I used dried cranberries instead of the raisins. Well worth the time to put together, which I didn't think was that bad. We really liked it.
by Westportia,
10/30/2011We really liked this recipe. I made several modifications, only to make it more healthy (left out butter, 2% milk, leaner meat). Otherwise, the only lazy things I did were use frozen chopped onion and a can of diced tomatoes instead of whole, and I did not chop the golden raisin medley from Trader Joes. I used a potato masher instead of the mixer. My family really liked it and I had almost everything on hand. Perfect Sunday supper. (Too much work for a weeknight, but not too much for a Sunday afternoon!)
