I might be developing new medical devices such as a scanner that diagnoses and treats cancer just by pointing it towards the patient, like in Star Trek.
A: I imagine that in 100 years from now, patients will not be treated with whatever standard treatment is normally prescribed but instead, their symptoms will trigger very specific screening to help the medical personnel learn more about the disease in the individual patient. From there, we would prescribe the best treatment for this patient, based on the size, location, blood supply, age of the [eye] tumor, genetic make-up and whatever else researchers will come up with by then. Therapy will span radiation therapy, chemical therapy, as well as biological therapy, hopefully greatly increasing our life expectancy and living quality.
As a physicist with a passion for nuclear medicine and radiation therapy applications, I imagine that I will still apply physical concepts (understanding interactions of particles on a molecular, atomic and nuclear level and manipulating them for a desired outcome) to the improvement of medicine. For example, I might be developing new medical devices such as a scanner that diagnoses and treats cancer just by pointing it towards the patient, like in Star Trek.
A: Currently, I am a research scientist at TRIUMF and the manager of the TRIUMF Proton Therapy facility, a collaboration between TRIUMF, the UBC Eye Care Centre and the British Columbia Cancer Agency. Proton therapy is a form of radiation therapy that treats cancer. It is incredibly precise, sparing the healthy tissue around the tumor from excess damage.
In Vancouver, we have been treating patients with eye cancer for the last 20 years who, before the advent of this treatment, would most likely have had their affected eye removed.
My work and research covers the improvement of proton therapy delivery by utilizing medical isotopes that appear as side products, and the production of medical isotopes for general purposes, including the screening of cancer and its potential metastases before proton therapy.
My hope is that my work will be part of the vast research currently being carried out to enable personalized medicine in the future.

Nearly every researcher searches for something — a clue, an anomaly, a missing link — that will unlock new knowledge about the world we live in.
In the first 100 years at UBC, discovery was paramount. The drive for invention and the need to understand cause and effect ushered in decades of eureka moments in labs, classrooms and in the minds of students and professors alike as relationships between things revealed themselves.
But what will the next 100 years bring? We asked researchers across a range of disciplines at UBC to transport themselves into the year 2115 and imagine what they might be teaching and researching.

Letter asking for independent study of divergent diamonds
Jerry Wolcott
Project Leader
Oregon Department of Transportation
Dear Mr. Wolcott:
At our May SGNA meeting, the majority of the agenda was a presentation by Walter Bartel with David Evans and Associates. You are probably already aware that Mr. Bartel is the engineer and designer of the proposed divergent diamond at Kuebler Blvd. and Interstate 5.
I must admit that I and several others were skeptical of this proposal. However, Mr. Bartel spent almost 90 minutes explaining its design and its assured advantages. He patiently answered all our questions, of which there were many, and by the end of our meeting a good majority of us had turned from being dismissive of this idea to being much more accepting.
His explanation made sense to us as to how the design was more practical for the topography of that location, and how it would be efficient for all traffic, including trucks going to and from the industrial area. Also, we learned that for two years this proposal had been worked on and adjusted by Mr. Bartel and had been approved through various stages as a viable option by ODOT. This was contrary to the belief many held that this new design had been a last-minute proposal.
We believe the divergent diamond approach has some advantages in terms of traffic flow and could reduce the expense significantly while also reducing the construction time for such a major intersection. However, we also believe in the old adage that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
Therefore, SGNA feels that it would be prudent and wise for the Oregon Department of Transportation, in concert with David Evans and Associates, to arrange an independent and unbiased study of this design by a neutral professional. As stated above, the design has met requirements and expectations by the State of Oregon, but so far the traffic models have been prepared by either ODOT or David Evans and Associates. An independent study would be reassuring to the citizens of Salem and the trucking industry both of which are expanding and will continue to grow to the east of that interchange and in South Salem.
We also feel, as stated before in previous communications, that it would be more efficient that the work on the widening of the south side of Kuebler be in concurrence with the construction of the interchange no matter which design is ultimately chosen.
We look forward to hearing from you as to the possibilities of such a review dealing with this project.
Thank you,
Patrick O'Dell

SGNA Neighborhood Development & Transportation Joint Meeting
Members Present: Chairs Pat O'Dell and Steve Withers, Randy Barna, Sarah Schra, Becky O'Dell, Pamela Withers, Kristin Roisen, John Stensland, Mike Guyer. Guest Phil Strom.
Topic #1: Moving Summit View Dr. - the current alignment is in the middle of a slope and the road would necessitate putting in a 12' retaining wall on both sides. The option is to move it to a flatter area with property being sold between adjoining land owners to off-set the property loss between the two. The group agreed that moving Summit View would be in the best interest of the neighbors, would limit water run off, and limit safety issues.
Topic #2: I-5/Kuebler Interchange - members were intrigued by the presentation and it changed a lot of minds. The divergent diamonds are worth further study. We think that an independent study/modeling would be a good idea. The action here will be to follow up with Jerry Wolcott of ODOT and to send a letter in support of additional consideration
Topic #3: Third bridge - we have reviewed and support the construction of a third bridge. Pat will put together a letter for approval by the whole board.

Action Collection 1.0
My first Photoshop Actions collection, which includes 6 actions. The following effects are included:
- 0. Orginal
- 1. Yellow Stitch Effect
- 2. Color Explosion Effect
- 3. Simple Light Effect
- 4. Time Travel Effect
- 5. Soft Light Effect
- 6. Blend Effect
How can I use the photoshop action:
The easiest way to install actions in Photoshop is to drag and drop the actions file on the opened photoshop window. This should work both on Mac and on Windows.
Caution! Photoshop stores actions in the default photoshop preferences file. This file may get corrupt and must be deleted or is replaced automatically by photoshop. Keep your actions file somewhere for safety.
However, photoshop actions can be installed 'by hand': Put them somewhere on the file system, then in photoshop open actions palette and click the tiny triangle in the upper right corner. From the appearing menu choose 'Load Actions', then choose the file from the file open dialog.
On windows there are actions in some subfolders of the photoshop installation folder depending on photoshop version, preferable in 'Required' and 'Presets\Photoshop Actions'.
You can also keep your actions in a different folder, even on a different drive. Just tell PhotoShop to load the actions, and navigate to their location. This way you can keep your downloaded and custom actions in a safe place.

Die mache mir meist kaum Gedanken beim Erstellen, weshalb ich die Effekt sehr oft durcheinander Würfel bis etwas gut aussieht, aber danke!
Awesome I hope to see more!
Thank you, the next version is already finished, but I'll wait a bit with the publication.
nice work man!
I liked the soft light effect, brings out the colors of the photo without over saturating them.
Hey, just to let you know, when you try to use 'Yellow Stitch' effect in an english version of photoshop, it gives an error when trying to select layer 'Hintergrund' (as this is just called background in the english version).
I used the time-travel action on this photo :thumb153408226: and it worked out great. So thankyou
Thank you that inform me about it. I would be happy but still a Favorite.
looks pretty thanks a lot!
will this work in all the CS series ?
Oooh interesting Just a question though... Which version of Photoshop will these work on? I have PS 7 and sooo many times I've downloaded actions/brushes/etc only to find out they only work on PS CS or higher
Unfortunately, I have only CS4 is why I created this so well. I can tell you, but happy to describe if you want, how to get to what effect.
wow.. great one! I love them all

Microsoft is giving away free Display Dock to United States and Canadian buyers with the purchase of a Lumia 950XL. The offer is valid till the stock lasts, so you better need to hurry up.
To get the free Display Dock, you will have to purchase a Lumia 950 XL unlocked edition from the Microsoft Store and register it with Microsoft between November 25th and January 31st, 2016. Once registered, Microsoft will send you a promotional code which you can redeem on the Lumia Offers app on the Microsoft Store to get the free Display Dock.
Microsoft Lumia 950 XL - Unlocked Black Edition costs $649 and is still "coming soon" on Microsoft Store. However, pre-orders are in the progress and its the perfect time to buy one if you are a Windows fan. It is worthy to note that Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are the first flagship phones to get Windows 10 Mobile and features a Lumia 950 XL features a 5.7'' WQHD display. The smartphone is powered with 3 GB RAM and a 20 MP primary camera with ZEISS optics. It comes with an internal storage of 32 GB expandable up to 200 GB through microSD card.
The Display Dock which you will get for free can be used to connect your Lumia 950 XL with a monitor / keyboard / mouse turning into a full fledged Person. Microsoft has termed this technology as Microsoft's Continuum.
If I would have been in US or Canada, I won't waste a day ordering a Lumia 950 XL, though I would have loved the offer with Lumia 950. The bigger screens do not excited me much. Also, I am waiting if Microsoft as a part of promotional offer bring the same offer in India. Expect in the queue of buyers, Microsoft.

When dog days draw near, perhaps no other garment helps a man stylishly beat the heat better than a seersucker suit. Cool and comfortable, easy to care for, relatively affordable and--wrinkles be damned, it epitomizes everything the best warm weather clothing should be. Yet, though it may come as a surprise, the seersucker suit was not always credited with such redeeming attributes. On the contrary, its history has largely been a tale of struggle for survival.
From the hindi word "shirushaker" meaning puckered or blistered, seersucker first became popular when it was used for the silk pajamas and night shirts worn by the British Raj in India. Like much of the cloth still made in India today, seersucker owes its crinkly texture to the various slackening processes that the threads undergo in weaving. Indian weavers referred to these cloths as homespun and much pride went into the handwork.
The cotton seersucker suit as we know it, first surfaced in New Orleans as long ago as the turn of the century, quickly becoming the suit of choice for southern gentlemen, many of whom were wealthy plantation owners. Unopposed to the wrinkles, these men were no doubt attracted to the lighter weight of a garment made of seersucker, along with the meager $10 price tag manufacturers placed on a suit.
Among northerners however, save for a smattering of style-conscious and trendy Princetonians who wore seersucker suits on and off campus throughout the Twenties and Thirties, the garment given to wrinkling was mostly regarded with snobbish disdain. New Yorkers particularly were unwilling to sacrifice a crisp crease for comfort. Above the Mason Dixon line, seersucker was shrugged off as a poor man's fabric better left to the South.
As the Forties unfolded, the seersucker suit, oddly enough, started to win favor along the northeastern seaboard, even becoming somewhat of a status symbol in such stalwart business cities as Washington DC and New York. Damon Runyon once even remarked during this period that a man wearing a seersucker suit with aplomb could cash a check anywhere in New York with no questions asked. The rationale: Any man sufficiently self-confident to wear one must be affluent, since a poor man would never allow his economic status to be so apparent. But seersucker suits were far from being universally accepted in northern locales, despite Runyon's literary appreciation.
During the early Fifties, an industrious New Orleans clothier named Joseph Haspel devoted his energies to developing a seersucker suit that could be washed, then worn, without a need for pressing. Haspel's quest for an ever present crease was finally realized when he blended polyester and cotton and created a seersucker cloth that retained its shape even after rigorous machine washings. An unabashed showman by nature, Haspel demonstrated his miracle fabric breakthrough at a convention of tailored clothing buyers and manufacturers in Florida. Staging a press conference on a nearby beach, Haspel, donning one of his new blended fiber seersucker suits, left the crowd and walked directly into the ocean up to his neck. Later that evening, he wore the same exact suit to the convention and even the most seasoned cynics were silenced. Wrinkle resistant seersucker lived. And Haspel would forever be known as the father of the washable seersucker suit.
As the decade progressed, Hollywood lent its hand to promoting seersucker as a stylish suiting fabric. Who could forget the daring-do of James Cagney in "A Lion in the Streets" or the cool nonchalance of Tom Ewell in "The Seven Year Itch." Then again, Gregory Peck was at his forthright best in "To Kill a Mockingbird" as he entered the courtroom stylishly clad in a seersucker suit replete with wrinkles. Eventually, according to Oscar E. Schoeffler and William Gale in "Esquire's Encyclopedia of Twentieth Century Men's Fashions," "no reasonable man could afford to overlook seersucker."
Since its early days as strictly a southern garment, the seersucker suit has traveled a stormy path to acceptance. Perhaps the real turning point in its achieving popular status came in 1964, when in the movie "Charade," Cary Grant, sporting Haspel's drip-dry version, stepped into a running shower to escape the pursuit of George Kennedy. Then again, its popularity could stem from the fact that every American president over the last 50 years has worn one: Haspel's company has routinely sent a seersucker suit to the White House up until Richard Nixon took office.
Once again, the seersucker suit is fashionable for summer, even along the buttoned up thoroughfares of Wall Street. The newest look in seersucker is the high roll, three-button, single breasted model, but double breasted, peaked lapel versions are still very much in evidence, with either four or six button fronts--the same models seen on southern men since the Twenties and Thirties. While blue and white remains the most classic color combination for seersucker, many designers today offer it in unusual shades that look of another era--pale gray, ecru and pale rose come immediately to mind.
The contemporary seersucker suit always looks appropriate with a simple bow tie and would not be complete without a jaunty pocket square of linen or cotton peeking out from the breast pocket. As for wrinkles, it is worth remembering that fashion has been most influenced by those men who dared to defy convention, even though, as Cecil Beaton has written, "Ridicule or scorn often rewards those who turn off the modern highway of conservatism." Just so.

In The Food Almanac, Tom Fitzmorris of the online newsletter, The New Orleans Menu, notes food facts and sayings.
Gourmets Through History
William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, was born today in 1857. He weighed more than 300 pounds, a record for the chief executive. Big guys were common in those days of massive eating. Banquet menus from that time make today's wine dinners look like snacks. Taft, after he finished his term as President, became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Turning Points in Eating
Marco Polo was born today in 1254. The explorer from Venice traveled widely in the Far East, establishing trade with those lands. The primary commodity: spices. Marco Polo is often credited with having brought pasta to Italy from China, but pasta was already there. Still, there was once a restaurant in Gretna (in the building where Kim Son is now) named for Marco Polo. Its menu combined Chinese and Italian food. Not a big hit.
Eating Around the World
This is Independence Day for most Central American nations. Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica all broke away from Spain today in 1821. There is, without question, a distinctive Central American cuisine. It has two sets of roots: in Spanish cookery and in that of the native pre-Columbian populations. It's based on the foodstuffs native to the area: corn, chile peppers, and beans.
Each Central American country has its own particular dishes, and many of them have different styles of cooking on their east and west coasts. One item found in all of the countries is the tamal — cornmeal and a little meat enclosed in a banana leaf. But even that shows big differences as you move around the isthmus.
New Orleans has never had many Central American restaurants. The most persistent at the moment is Pupuseria Divino Corazon, a Salvadoran café in Gretna that's been around since the 1990s. New Salvadoran restaurants have opened since the hurricane, notably the two locations of Pupuseria Macarena. We've occasionally had Nicaraguan and Honduran restaurants, even very good ones. Someday we'll support them long enough for them to become permanent.
Today's Flavor
In honor of the independence of the five Central American nations today in 1821, this is Pan-American Tres Leches Day. In any restaurant where you find it, tres leches cake can be counted on to be the best dessert in the house. Meaning "three milks," tres leches is made by layering a firm yellow cake with marshmallow cream, then soaking the whole thing in condensed milk, evaporated milk, and fresh milk. A good deal of variation appears in the recipes. Not all of them use the marshmallow cream. Some use fresh cream instead of one of the milks. Coconut milk also shows up in some. Crushed fruit, rum, and nuts in others. There's some dispute about its origins, but it seems to us that Nicaragua has the best claim. Tres leches is now found in almost every Central American restaurant in the United States. With good reason: it's wonderful.
Deft Dining Rule #2
Eat it where it lives. To paraphrase: When in El Salvador, eat pupusas.
Gourmet Gazetteer
Milkwater is the uninhabited location of a water well and tank on the Navajo Indian Reservation in the Four Corners area of Arizona. A range of lightly-forested mountains rise 300 feet just to the west of Milkwater. To the east is a vast, treeless desert plain, leveled by Crystal Creek, whose usually-dry bed runs about a mile away. You will find only water here. The nearest restaurant is the Junction. It's about 18 miles by hot-air balloon, but 56 miles by road — and those are gravel roads.
Edible Dictionary
saganaki, Greek, n. — This is the melted cheese appetizer of Greek restaurants. It starts with a square of cheese about two inches on a side and a half-inch thick. The most common cheese is kasseri, but kefaloteri and the Lebanese halloumi cheese are common. The cheese is browned in its own released fat in a hot little skillet. (The dish is named for that skillet.) In the most popular version, it's doused with Greek eau de vie (unaged brandy). At the table, the waiter touches a flame to it, making a ball of fire erupt for a second. He shouts "Opaa!" (Greek for "ole!"), and then he squeezes a wedge of lemon over the cheese. Everybody at the table is all smiles as they scoop up the cheese with pita bread. No big deal, but it gets the dinner off to an exciting start.
Annals of Candy
Today in 1995, the tan M&M's were replaced by blue ones, as a result of a poll of M&M's eaters that revealed a groundswell of interest in a blue piece. Interestingly, the tan M&M's entered the pouch to replace purple ones in the 1940s.
Music to Drink Cheap Wine By
Jimmy Gilmer was born today in 1940. He had two hits — both with food/drink titles — six years apart. The first was "Sugar Shack," in 1963. The second, with a completely different sound and under the name The Fireballs, was "Bottle Of Wine." It blistered the radio in 1968.
Music to Drink Cognac By
Bobby Short, perhaps the greatest male American cabaret singer in history, was born today in 1926. For decades, he played in the Café Carlyle in New York City, a little club that was packed with his fans every night. Short had a preference for the standards, rendered in a unique, sassy, jazzy way. He accompanied himself brilliantly on the piano as he sang with enough vibrato to shake leaves off a tree. He died in 2005, but his albums are still available. I'd recommend My Personal Property.
Food Namesakes
David Stove, an Australian philosopher, was born today in 1927... His countryman Terry Lamb, professional rugby football player, hit the Big Field today in 1961.
Words to Eat By
"Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table." — The Anarchist Cookbook.
Words to Drink By
"A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, 'You've been brought here for drinking.' The drunk says, 'OK, let's get started.'" — Henny Youngman.

HANCOCK COUNTY, MS (WLOX) - Build it and they will come. Hancock County leaders are banking on that as they expand scenic by-ways, bike and walking trails.
On Friday, bikers and walkers got a chance to take a test run on the trails following a special unveiling.
Rocket tests in Hancock County became possible because of the people who lived in Logtown. An historic marker on Logtown Road now honors the folks who gave up their land so NASA could create a buffer zone around Stennis Space Center. That land is now being transformed into trails called scenic by-way to space.
Stennis Space Center's Ron Magee explained the idea behind showcasing Logtown. "There were about 250 people that were still living here at the time when NASA was building our facility," he said. "We needed this area for our buffer zone and because of that those 250 had to be displaced. The marker helps commemorate their memory as well as the memories of those prior to them."
The trails makes a seven mile loop around Logtown starting at the Infinity Science Center. Visitors will be able to walk or ride along a series of nature trails, boardwalks and bridges.
"There is a railroad crossing. There is a bridge over the Bayou Boguehoma and a number of boardwalks where it gets swampy so we can ensure access to everyone," said project architect Allison Anderson.
Along the way, visitors can soak up a little history and knowledge. "There will be several informative displays that will talk about the birds you might see or the animals you might see or the plants that you might see," explained Magee.
Bike enthusiasts seemed impressed.
"This is quite a bit of infrastructure that they've built for bikers and walkers out here this is great," said Gene Peters, owner of EcoGeno Bicycle Shop in Biloxi.
Jim Foster echoed those words. "This is a great trail. It's the first segment of a 101 miles across the Mississippi Gulf Coast."
Foster is president of the Gulf Coast Heritage Trials Partnership. He said the completion of the by-ways will enhance the county's eco-tourism product and give locals a chance to enjoy the natural beauty found in their own backyard.
"This raises our quality of life by helping us appreciate where we live," said Foster.
The scenic by-way to space is expected to be ready for use in about a month.

Yes, I know, I've neglected to post for a couple of days and now I'm late with today's word. What can I say, sh!t happens.
So without further adieu, here's today's word….
England, France ~ Fish, meat or poultry meat processed to a very fine forcemeat, bound with eggs or fat, shaped with two spoons into small round or oval dumplings and poached in a cooking liquor. Served as a garnish or as a main course with a sauce.
This is the definition from my food dictionary. However, as we watch so many cookery shows, we've seen quenelles made from foodstuff other than what is listed above. A quenelle can be made from ice cream, sorbet, mashed potatoes or even hummus; anything that will hold its shape.
So why not test out your culinary skills tonight and serve up some gourmet quenelles!
Here's a video to help you out…

Listening to Josh Ritter always reminds me of living in New York in my early twenties. That was a period in my life I will always look back on fondly. I haven't listened to his music in awhile, but he has a new album out and this track is the perfect sad nostalgic break-up song. Plus, the lyrics video is the greatest.
I can't pretend that all is well, it's like I'm haunted by a ghost
There are times I cannot speak your name for the catchin' in my throat,
There are things I will not sing for the sting of sour notes.
I feel like a miser, I feel low and mean
For accusing you of stealin' what I offered you for free.
Still it baffles the belief sometimes what thieves we lovers be.
I don't know who you're with these days, might be with someone new
And if you are, I hope he treats you like a lover ought to do.
But whoever makes you happy, it don't really matter who
I've got a new lover now, I hope you've got a lover too.
-Josh Ritter, 2013

I think there was a collective sigh of relief when the final whistle went on Monday night to signal Ilkeston's win over Whitby and an end to a horrid run of defeats.
They should really have done enough now to stay up and although there are plenty of points still to play for, I think there are too many teams with too many points to make up for there to be any more need for panic.
It was only ever going to take one win but it was important things didn't drag on too long because with sides in the bottom six still to play, any further defeats could have made things very twitchy indeed.
Ramsbottom have gone and Colwyn Bay look set to follow them. I also fear for Saturday's opponents Hyde who are struggling for form, while Whitby didn't look too convincing at all on Monday so at the moment would be my fourth pick to go down, although I hope they don't as there are some great people at that club and I think we all enjoy the away trip!
Either way, Ilkeston look safe and attention must now turn to planning the summer months in a way that a team can be assembled which will offer a far more sustained and competitive challenge to the promotion spots than a side with such a young average age will be able to.
Saturday's game with Blyth was pretty crazy. The visitors scored all of their goals at crucial times, albeit the last one coming when most of us should have been tucked up in bed.
It was great to see the young Robins raise their game to take such a commanding lead though and, along with Monday's display, certainly gave us cause to believe that a few of them look capable of being regulars again next year.
It's important to finish the season as strongly as possible now because the fans deserve that and the players are keen to impress having had such a hard time.
Their attitude can't be faulted and a relegation scrap wouldn't have been fair on them given the current circumstances, but they've got themselves out of any potential mess and for that they deserve great credit.

Matt Lasley | GC News-Gazette
The Leitchfield City Council may not go forward with building a new city hall/police department following its discussion Monday night.
The future of the project to build a new Leitchfield city hall and police station has been called into question.
Proposed increases to local government's contributions to the state pension system have led city officials to question whether the project, previously estimated to cost more than $6.1 million, is still feasible.
At the Monday night, Nov. 20 Leitchfield City Council meeting, Leitchfield Mayor William Thomason said a decision needs to be made about the future of the project.
He said the City Council needs to decide whether it wants to move forward with the project and, if so, what design it wants to use. Brandstetter Carroll, Inc. recently presented a number of designs for the city to consider.
City Councilmember Kelly Stevenson said that, before the city votes to spend any money on the project, he wanted to know what the state legislature intends to do about the state employees' pension crisis.
Thomason said many people do not realize how much the cost proposed pension reforms will be to local governments, adding that Leitchfield can expect to contribute $1.1 million more to the state pension system after the reform plan is established.
Thomason said that while he would like to see a new city hall
See future/page A6
and police department built, he does not want to spend such a large sum of money and not be able to pay for it down the line, thus forcing the city to raise taxes to cover the costs.
The mayor added that the proposed location for the new city hall and police station, off of William Thomason Byway, is an "ideal piece of property" that could be used for other things, such as a hotel or motel, and, now that the city has nearly paid it off, it could be sold for a good price later on.
No decision was made Monday night, but Thomason asked the City Council to consider the pension reforms before making a decision on whether to move forward with the project.
He said a decision will be made at the City Council's Monday, Dec. 4 meeting.
In other business:
*City Councilmember Harold Miller discussed possibly drafting a legal contract to require Leitchfield Utilities to assist the city more with the repair of utility cuts.
According to Miller, the city, not the utilities, has repaved the majority of Leitchfield Utilities' utility cuts in recent months, and, given that the City Council is needed for the utilities to move forward with the construction of their new water plant, it is not unreasonable for the utilities to help the city more with repairing utility cuts.
Miller said that "talking, begging, shaking hands" is obviously not going to work with the utilities, so legal action may need to be the next step.
No action was taken on this matter Monday night.
*The City Council authorized Girl Scout Troop 631 to plant a flower garden to attract honeybees and butterflies.
This project will serve as Derann Lasley, Keira Logsdon, and Melanie Fleener's Bronze Award project and will seek to reestablish the habitat of honeybees and butterflies because much of their habitat has been damaged and/or destroyed.
*The City Council approved compensating rate increases for four employees.
*The City Council voted to send a letter to Spring View Health & Rehab Center requesting that the business move its sign further away from the right-of-way on Wallace Avenue.
*The City Council voted to purchase a bench to be placed on the sidewalk across from Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center for smokers to use. Additionally, Stevenson said, the hospital has purchased a container for the disposal of cigarette butts and is waiting for the city to place a bench before setting it up.
*The City Council voted to request that Warren RECC install a light on East Carroll Gibson Boulevard.

25 White Kitchens That Are Anything But Bland & Basic
White kitchens are hugely popular right now thanks in part to their airy, de-cluttered feel. But perhaps the best thing about them is that they tend to morph to fit whatever aesthetic you choose. They don't just have to be minimalist, but can instead be coastal, rustic, contemporary, industrial, bohemian, vintage, or sleek — the adjectives can keep on rolling. Here, 25 dreamy white kitchens that bring something unique to the table.
1. You would be surprised how much a kitchen could change with a slap of fresh paint. In this before and after, Alexis Joseph painted her dingy brown cabinets a fresh white and an unexpected mint to bring some personality into the room. She also swapped out the black handles with brass ones, and added subway tiles with a white grout to create an airy aesthetic. Her original kitchen setup also had dark granite countertops, but she switched them for crisp white ones to create a more delicate palette. The two-tone look is a great compromise between all-white airiness and playful, more adventurous color.
2. For those who can't afford a kitchen renovation that guts its cabinets, there's still a budget friendly way to update your space. This before and after only cost Wendy $600, staying well within her price range. She hid her brown laminate cabinets underneath white chalk paint, popped sticker tiles over her beige backsplash, and resurfaced the counter. The end result was a pretty white kitchen with some personality.
3. This particular before and after took more muscle, where Kim Wardell knocked down her kitchen wall to create a better flow to the dining room, and took down her top cabinets for white shelves instead. It created a more uncluttered and spacious layout.
4. Syd and Shay of Studio McGee wanted to transform this wooden kitchen into a monochromatic, modern space. Shay acknowledged that many people love to redo their kitchens into all-white spaces, but it's the small details that really take it to the next level. And when you notice her gold frame lanterns and gray, Chippendale chairs, you'll be forced to agree.
5. Kate of Centsational Girl originally wanted to tear down her kitchen and start from scratch, but she decided to put the architect on hold and work with the bones of the space instead. She took down the dark upper cabinets and opted for open shelving (a common yet controversial move these days), and focused on swapping out the wooden cabinets on the bottom for new white ones. Matte black hardware and lighting keep traditional Shaker cabinet fronts feeling modern.
6. Sadie and Dana made their rental Santa Barbara apartment feel more like home by repainting the 1940s cabinets a crisp white, accenting them with gold hardware, and throwing down a colorful rug that warmed up the galley.
7. Andrew and Kiel's Milwaukee home has a very "Scandifornian" feel. (Their word!) It's very coastal and beach-like, but also has a minimalist, Scandinavian vibe. You can see that perfectly in their kitchen: Boasting light gray countertops, an industrial pendant lamp, and a colorful kilim, it's simple but packed with beachy details at the same time.
8. Cindy Tung's LA apartment welcomes a twist to the all-white kitchen: It brings in pops of color through accessories (and a hint of a icy blue backsplash). Setting up an industrial shelving unit, she decorated it with vibrant pots and pans, stacked cookbooks, and propped a cheerful print in the corner, adding a little bit of her personality to the space.
9. Sophie and Guillaume gave their Montreal white kitchen a minimal spin, opting for hardwareless cabinets that engulf the fridge, and a lot of open air shelving to give the room a more spacious, less-cluttered vibe.
10. Sarah Blake's Greenwich Village apartment proves that small living quarters are ideal for white kitchens. She accented hers with rustic, wooden shelving and black countertops, adding some dimension and warmth to her white motif.
11. Annabel Joy's Boston condo has a white kitchen with a twist: it has fun checkered floors! Her theme is "New England-Bohemian," so she wanted to warm up the white room with a playful touch. The black-and-white tiles definitely do the trick. Another nice touch? The dark grout in the subway tile to make them pop.
12. For those who love a spartan, serene look, Kristen Ziegler's Richmond kitchen is the one to copy. She designed the IKEA kitchen herself and loves the composition of the cabinets, as well as how the subway tiles all the way up the ceiling add a touch of texture.
13. Andrea Howe's California home originally had a very dark interior and low ceilings. She flipped that into an airy, relaxing space filled with plenty of sunshine. Just look at her coastal-feeling kitchen with its acre-long island and minimalist light fixtures.
14. This Barcelona apartment is a mix between rustic and Nordic, which is how you can describe its white kitchen as well. Anna Alfaro chose butcher block countertops because they flowed so well with the wooden dining room table, and contrasted beautifully against the industrial metal chairs.
15. If you're really trying to go all-in with the all-white glam look, consider getting clear bar stools and seating like Sydne Summer did in her West Hollywood home.
16. If you're tired of subway tiles but want to add a tiled white backsplash, Tanya List's Ontario all-white kitchen will give you plenty of inspiration. Chosen to accent her IKEA cabinets, the small hexagon tiles bring in an unexpected dose of texture and playfulness.
17. To break up the monochromatic look, feel free to add in a splash of color. Catherine Masi's Santa Barbara kitchen dates all the way back to the 1920s, but she gave it a modern and quirky update with white paint and blue flooring to match the countertop edge. The paper fans over the window and the gold polka dots take the space to a place of whimsy.
18. Nathan and Charles' Brooklyn home created a sleek and modern kitchen space by using white IKEA cabinets and light gray countertops.
19. If you prefer a more vintage aesthetic, take a page out of Carina's book and decorate your all-white kitchen with knick-knacks and bric-a-brac. Her Buenos Aires kitchen has open air shelving that is decorated with her colorful bowls, pitchers, and cans, adding a charming touch to the space. But the real attention-grabber is the floating shelf that sits just above the window, decorated with artfully placed bowls and tea pots.
20. Elise and Ben's Mount Washington white kitchen shakes things up with custom gray-and-white marble countertops. They don't just span the tops, but make a statement by extending down to the sides of the breakfast counter. Sleek brass hardware feel glam yet modern.
21. For those who appreciate a slick, almost futuristic look, then Robyn and Sam's Scandi-inspired kitchen will be something you need to bookmark.
22. The wonderful thing about all-white kitchens is that they can be molded to your personality and design aesthetic. Take Stacey Lipstein's Toronto home for example. Her space features hexagon floor tiles, a rustic white wooden table contrasted with black metal chairs, and a minty green refrigerator. Mix it all together and you get a rustic, vintage feel.
23. Audrey Morissette's Quebec home has an all-white kitchen with open space shelving, glass-front counters, and a big kitchen island that boasts a wooden countertop. The copper pendants add a mid-century twist to the look.
24. Danica and Robin's LA kitchen is a fun mix of minimalism and industrial touches. Their space came with very little counter space, so they repurposed an old bedroom dresser for larger kitchen supplies, got a freestanding bar cabinet from CB2, and added an amazing black hanging shelf to contrast against the Scandinavian touches.
25. Suzanne and Oliver's Brooklyn kitchen added a ton of texture by not limiting subway tiles to just their backsplash areas. They extended the look across the room, engulfing it in white and breaking up the monochromatic feel with texture.
