Is the place to come for a hassle-free beach holiday that's as laid-back or full-on as you are. While Agadir Bay, in all its 5-and-a-half-mile glory, has enough for planeloads of sand-loving sun-worshippers, the town itself is a modern, bustling, and at times chaotic way to explore the contemporary face of North Africa.
Morocco's famed beach resort has plenty to offer sun-seekers. All the luxury and mid-range options straddle the swathe of white sand overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Budget holidaymakers should head to the north of town to the Talborjt District, away from the beach. If you're looking for opulent laid-back living, Riad Villa Blanche (Baie des Palmiers) has oodles of elegance and charm. Mid-range Timoulay Hotel and Spa (Baie des Palmiers) nearby has art deco touches and spacious rooms. For budget accommodation, La Clef des Agadirs (Tamraght), 10km out of town, is an intimate, secluded hotel with bags of local character.
Traditional pottery, Moroccan hand-woven carpets, leather goods, engraved jewellery, copperware and wood inlaid with intricate mother-of-pearl designs are just some of the best finds to hunt for when shopping in Agadir. Vendors have stalls displaying various crafts for sale along the streets running to and from the beach, but the best place to check out prices is the Centre Artisanal Cooperative (Rue du 29 Fevrier), which has an excellent selection of handicrafts. For a no-hassle shopping experience, make the trip out to La Nouvelle Medina Polizzi (Bensergao) on the outskirts of town. Here artisans create and sell their wares amid the restored finery of an ancient medina.
Moroccan cuisine is all about tender meats stewed in spicy and sweet flavour combinations, fresh seafood and fiery hot harissa paste. Tempt your taste buds at Le Jardin d'Eau (Boulevard du 20 Aout) which has a menu of both Moroccan favourites and French haute cuisine, or for intimate, sophisticated dining enjoy the cosy atmosphere of Riad Villa Blanche Restaurant (Baie des Palmiers). For the freshest seafood in town, Poisson Al Jazera (Rue des Orangers) should be on your dining hit-list. If you're looking for cheap eats, head to the port area where restaurants abound serving up decently priced seafood.
This long-running festival competition brings university theatre groups to Agadir from across Europe and North Africa, as well as Morocco, to perform a series of plays.
Highlighting the work of documentary filmmakers from Morocco, the Middle East and across Africa, this event hosts a programme of film screenings in the city. A series of filmmaking masterclasses and discussions is run concurrently.
The 'Festival of Laughter' hosts a programme of stand-up comedy shows featuring both big-name comics and new up-and-coming stars of the local comedy scene.
First founded to celebrate Berber culture, this music festival has become one of the biggest music events in Africa with over 500,000 visitors. As well as hosting concerts of traditional Amazigh music, there are performances by local bands from across North Africa.
This annual event is a one-night-only extravaganza of a show which brings together some of Morocco's most famous musicians and singers, as well as chart-topping international pop and rock stars to perform on Agadir Beach.

thank you
Response from Dr. Frascino
Why do I always answer questions from men getting blowjobs???? Come on, Sweetie, be fair. I can only answer questions that get submitted. And, as it turns out, there are loads of dudes who get all weirded out after they get their joy sticks licked and pop a load. I know, I know, it's not all that risky and the level of their anxiety about being blown is in itself blown way out of proportion, but I'm here to provide info to those in need, so . . . . At any rate, here you are, a woman, so let's jump right into your erudite question. Now let's see, you had unprotected vaginal sex twice and oral receptive. OK, I've got that part. Then you had ELISA and OraQuick tests at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 10 weeks and 14 weeks, all of which were negative. And you had your sex partner tested three times, also all negative. Have I got that correct??? OK. Moving on to your question, "AM I IN A HIGH RISK CATEGORY?" What???? Lady, with questions like this, it's no wonder I prefer to answer blowjob or lap dance questions!
You very clearly identified your one and only problem quite accurately when you wrote "My problem is I don't believe it (the negative HIV tests)." I, on the other hand, have absolutely no difficulty whatsoever in believing the irrefutable overwhelming evidence that you are indeed HIV negative. Both you and your nookie partner have tested negative multiple times out to 14 weeks. You just can't get any more negative than that.
As for what "warrants" a six-month test, I can quite confidently say your situation doesn't! You are not a late seroconverter. No way. No how. End of story!
Whatever is causing your symptoms, one thing that's certain: it's not HIV. Do you need additional HIV tests because of these symptoms? No, absofrickinlutely not! However, you probably could benefit from counseling to help you confront your irrational HIV fears and anxiety and to help you accept the unquestionable and unquestionably wonderful good news that you are HIV negative.
So, Scared Woman, can you move on? I certainly hope so, but the next "move" is entirely up to you.
Now back to more reasonable questions. Let's see . . . "Dr. Bob, I'm a family man, God-fearing, NRA-card carrying, Bible school instructor, who thinks Cheney and Bush are doing a wonderful job, but while attending a PTA meeting on why we should teach abstinence-only sex ed to our kids in high school, I slipped out for a drink. I had no idea it was stripper bar until a woman with enormously bodacious ta tas was bouncing up and down in my lap and the next thing I knew I ejaculated in my 3-to-a-pack fruit of the Loom briefs. I'm so scared! Do I have HIV? How do I get the stain out of my shorts without Martha seeing it? Am I going to Hell? Blah, blah, blah . . . ." Yeah, this one looks at least as reasonable as your question.
One last thing: I don't avoid questions from women (a quick check of the archives will prove that point), but I do skip over tons of questions where the answer should be obvious (like yours) or questions that I've already addressed many times before and are readily available in the archives (also like yours). Sorry, Dearie.
Dr. Bob

Feminine Features are a Drawback at the Bargaining Table—Even for Men
New research suggests that people with feminine facial features are offered less in negotiations than those with more masculine ones, and are perceived as more cooperative.
August 21, 2014
People with feminine features—even men—are at a disadvantage at the bargaining table, finds new research by Eric Gladstone, a PhD candidate at Johnson at Cornell University, and Kathleen O'Connor, associate professor of management and operations. The study was published online in July in the journal Organizational Behavior and Human Decisions Processes.
Among the key findings:
· When people choose negotiation counterparts, they prefer men and women with more feminine faces
· Conversely, people select less-feminine faces, when selecting a negotiation agent
· Negotiators believe counterparts with more feminine features will be more cooperative
· Negotiators demand relative more form female-featured counterparts.
"We found people were systematically more aggressive to feminine-featured faces," Gladstone told the Washington Post. "They were more aggressive in their negotiations, they were more demanding, and they would send offers that demanded more."
Bloomberg Businessweek also reported on the research.
Gladstone is earning his PhD in management and organizations at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University, and will complete is degree in May 2015. His research articles have been published in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Psychological Science, Journal of Mathematical Sociology, and Best Paper Proceedings of the 2014 Academy of Management.

Katie Holmes' clothing line appears to be missing from the New York Fashion Week preliminary schedule.
IMG released the document recently and The Cut reports luxury label Holmes & Yang is missing from the line-up for the catwalk event running between February 7 and 14.
The actress co-designs the pieces with her stylist Jeanne Yang and the two ladies made their Fashion Week debut last season at the Lincoln Center.
The pretty brunette has recently been busy performing in Broadway show Dead Accounts, which could explain her absence.
With the play having only just closed on January 6, it's possible the 34-year-old hasn't had time to finalise details.
The gorgeous star is also the face of Bobbi Brown cosmetics' new campaign, which launched earlier this week.
As the first celebrity spokesmodel for the iconic company, the mother-of-one caused a stir with her sultry looks and smokey eye make-up.
With her recent hectic schedule, it may be Katie feels she has no time to make an appearance at the runway event.
The star's first Fashion Week showing in September received mixed reviews, but managed to drum up a great deal of media attention.
Katie herself looked super chic at the show, in black skinny jeans, a floaty white blouse and a tough leather jacket.

My 1995 Ford Thunderbird LX, equipped with a 4.6L OHC "Modular" V8 engine, rear-wheel drive and a healthy dose of torque built on the MN12 platform.
I have owned "Lightning" for about 2 years now as both my main project car and previously as my daily driver.
Even with some of the issues she had due on one part to poor previous ownership and on another to the harsh climate here. I really love this car for a lot of reasons and I find it impossible to let it go.
I just recently got her off the road to begin the resurrection project after I found another daily driver (1999 Ford Escort SE). One of the biggest parts of this challenge is not working on her though, it is actually demolishing the old garage and building a proper one in it's place, so that I can actually work on the project properly and safely.
I will post the to-do list of everything I am doing to Lightning on here eventually.
To-Do List For 2011-2013:
Everything, seriously..
Well I bought it for $200 back in 2006 it had a few simple problems but I fixed them. Up till 2009 it drove good and now the trans is out but I have a few leads on a replacement trans and will have her fixed by next month hopfuly. The car has over 245,500 miles on it and runs good. It is a true beast when it is on the road with a good trans.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Led by senior long pole Jesse Bernhardt, a record-tying five Maryland men's lacrosse student-athletes were chosen in the 2013 Major League Lacrosse collegiate draft Friday evening at the US Lacrosse National Convention in Philadelphia.
Bernhardt was chosen fourth overall by the Chesapeake Bayhawks, becoming the second-highest Terrapin ever drafted in the MLL (Joe Walters, first overall selection in 2006). He is just the seventh Maryland player to be taken in the first round, joining Lee Zink (2004, 5th), Chris Passavia (2004, 6th), Walters, Bill McGlone (2006, 5th), Ray Megill (2007, 9th) and Joe Cinosky (2008, 9th).
Senior midfielder John Haus was the next Terrapin off the board, going to the Hamilton Nationals in the second round with the 15th overall selection. Haus was followed by senior midfielder Kevin Cooper, who went to the Bayhawks with the 16th overall pick.
The Denver Outlaws, which already has three Terps on its roster (Zink, Jeremy Sieverts and Drew Snider), were then next MLL squad to take a Maryland player, selecting senior midfielder Landon Carr with the 23rd overall selection.
The fifth Terp to be selected was senior attackman Owen Blye with the very next pick by the Ohio Machine. Blye will be reunited with line-mate Joe Cummings, who was traded to the Machine during the 2012 season, along with former Terps Brian Phipps and Max Schmidt.
The five players selected ties the school record for most players taken in the MLL draft. The 2011 senior class also had five players taken – Brian Farrell, Brett Schmidt, Dan Burns, Grant Catalino andRyan Young.
Maryland's 2013 senior class also features redshirt senior midfielder Jake Bernhardt, who was selected by the Nationals with the 12th overall selection in the 2012 MLL collegiate draft.
The Terrapins will open their 2013 season with a Tuesday evening game vs. Mount St. Mary's on Feb. 12 at 5 p.m. at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.

DANVERS, Mass. (AP) -- Hundreds have turned out for a candlelight vigil on the parking lot of the suburban Boston high school where a popular teacher is being mourned.
Many wore pink, math teacher Colleen Ritzer's favorite color. They prayed and sang and, at the end of the vigil, placed their candles along with some stuffed animals in the middle of a ring they formed for the gathering.
Ritzer's body was found not far from where the vigil was held, in a wooded area behind Danvers High School. Officials have not listed the cause of death.
A 14-year-old Danvers student has arrested and charged with killing Ritzer. Philip Chism is said to have been arrested because of statements he made and corroborating evidence. He's being held without bail.
The tall, lanky teenager had moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee before the start of the school year and was a top scorer on the school's junior varsity soccer team. Classmates described him as soft-spoken.

WWF launches Green Heart of Europe to protect nature across 12 countries
The Green Heart of Europe aims to protect the five natural riches of the region: forests, wilderness, large carnivores, rivers and wetlands, and the Danube sturgeon.
WWF launched the Green Heart of Europe at WILD 10, the World Wilderness Congress in Salamanca, Spain, which gathers governments, businesses, conservation and development NGOs, as well as community representatives from around the world to discuss the protection and sustainable development of natural habitats on our planet.
"From the Danube basin to the Carpathian Mountains, our region, the Green Heart of Europe, includes many of the continent's greatest natural treasures. WWF has been working since the 1990s to save it for the benefit of local people and humanity," says Andreas Beckmann, Director of WWF's Danube-Carpathian Programme.
The new WWF initiative covers the largest remaining area of virgin and natural forests in Europe outside of northern Scandinavia and Russia (with the primeval beech forests of Ukraine and Slovakia) and Europe's most spectacular remaining wilderness areas outside of Russia (including the southern Carpathians and the Danube Delta).
The initiative will see better collaboration among partners such as government, NGOs and local communities as well as ensuring the full implementation of existing tools like regional and international protection frameworks, strong legislation and government commitments to ensure the protection of this diverse region.
The region shelters two-thirds of the European populations of large carnivores such as bears, lynx and wolves.
The Green Heart of Europe also includes most of Europe's last remaining intact rivers and wetlands, including the globally important Lower Danube Green Corridor and the Mura-Drava-Danube corridor, also known as "Europe's Amazon." These waters are home to the Beluga sturgeon, a 7-meter fish that has survived since the time of the dinosaurs, but now teeters on the edge of extinction.
"The people of this region depend on these natural treasures. They provide us with essential goods and services, from timber and fish to clean water and climate regulation, and the essential 'green infrastructure' that secures our livelihoods and well-being," said WWF's Conservation Director for Central and Eastern Europe, Orieta Hulea.
Unsustainable resource use and poorly planned infrastructure are causing the loss and fragmentation of forests, wetlands and wilderness.
The treasures of the Green Heart of Europe are threatened by illegal and unsustainable logging of virgin and other high conservation value Forests, construction of roads, ski areas and other infrastructure, some of it illegal and much of it poorly planned.
The rampant building of hundreds of large and small hydro and wind-power stations – many with limited benefits in terms of clean energy, but with massive impacts for streams, rivers and wildlife – and unsustainable agricultural practices are also threats.
"We already have many of the tools needed to save the Green Heart of Europe. We have strong legislation, regional and international protection frameworks, government commitments, economic incentives and strong partnerships," says Beckmann. "Now we need to bring these together and ensure they are fully implemented to achieve their intended purpose."

Kookas take hard road to England
The Kookaburras will play England in the Champions Trophy quarter-finals after their 1-0 victory over Pakistan in their final group game on Tuesday night. Aiming for a fifth successive title, Australia's men's hockey team did it the hard way - winning at Melbourne's State Hockey Centre with a second-half penalty corner goal from Kieran Govers. The result left the Kookaburras second in pool B, the Netherlands finishing top on goal difference after a thrilling 5-4 win over Belgium earlier in the day. Australia needed a two-goal margin to top the group, and Pakistan also had the chance to win the pool if they beat the Kookaburras. But it became apparent early there would be no repeat of Australia's 7-0 smashing of the Pakistanis at the London Olympics this year - Pakistan showing excellent defensive discipline in the first half.

Others installed at the ceremony at the local lodge included Senior Warden John Denson, Junior Warden David Stuckey, Senior Deacon Billy Temples, Junior Deacon Enrique Ledezma, Marshal David Chandler and Tiler David Holder.
Two other officers, Treasurer Brian Williams and Chaplain Steve Doonan, will be installed at the local lodge's next scheduled meeting July 14.
Bob Bates was Installing Master for Saturday's 46-minute ceremony, while Stanley Jenkins was Installing Marshal. Jenkins presented the various elective and appointed officers for installation to Bates before proclaiming them installed.
About 30 persons other than the participants attended the meeting after a meal was served.
Robinson, a Gladewater resident and former Gilmerite who is Director of Business Development for Select Specialty Hospital in Longview, succeeds Wayne Oney as Worshipful Master.
After Bates installed the officers, he read a charge to Robinson, telling him he is to give the Masons "instruction" and have them practice outside the lodge the "duties they have been taught in it." Bates also instructed the new Worshipful Master to convince people of "the goodness of the institution."
Robinson noted the local Lodge marked its 160th anniversary in January, and added, "I look forward to a good year this year." He said he had thought he might like to become a Mason because his father, the late former Upshur County Sheriff's Deputy Jim Robinson, had been one.
Oney said of his term as Worshipful Master that "we had a great year." He cited the "Fantastic Teeth" dental health promotion which Masons provided to schoolchildren, and said the lodge was "real proud" of the two scholarships it handed out during his tenure.

Camp Jackson Living History Encampment: September 1 - 3, 2006
During Labor Day weekend, the Saint Louis University Museum of Art and the historic Samuel Cupples House hosted a Camp Jackson reenactment. The encampment was located near the intersection of Grand and Lindell boulevards, the original site of the Camp Jackson encampment. The event was held in conjunction with the exhibition, "The Lincoln Legacy: Presidential Years," displayed at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art.
The camp was the site of a weekend-long symposium that included a display of a pre-Civil War militia camp, along with authentic demonstrations of drill and Civil War-era equipment. Both sides of the Camp Jackson affair that took place on May 10, 1861 were represented - members of the Holmes Brigade portrayed the pro-Union home guard, while members of the Army of the Trans-Mississippi (AoTM) portrayed the First Regiment, Volunteer Militia, Company A, (The St. Louis Greys).

So I scooped some types s comps to hold me over and noticed a small coil on the speaker that's not part of the xover so with some testing I discovered these coils raise the impedance of the speaker! Has anyone else ever seen this done before? I know I have seen people wanting to raise the impedance of there subs why would this not work for them because it causes nearly 1ohm of rise in these speakers. Just thought I would dis use this to see if anyone else had seen this before?

the other was Muriel's Wedding - only rented it because someone went on and on about how good it was sorry, no
Eyes Wide Shut.I got treated to that movie and I still think I paid too much.
Quote from: staceym on March 25, 2013, 01:01:48 PMthe other was Muriel's Wedding - only rented it because someone went on and on about how good it was sorry, noI didn't like it either. It was marketed as a fun chick flick rom-com so I was disappointed by how depressing it was. Then years later I said OK, now that I know what it's about, I can watch it again in the right frame of mind. Still didn't like it.
Apt Pupil. I love Ian McKellen, but that movie was just horrible.
But the real kicker is a made-for-TV movie that DH and I started over the weekend. Are you ready for this? Chupacabra vs. the Alamo. We thought it would be fun because we miss living in Texas, and I'm an Erik Estrada fan from the CHiPs days. We made it about twenty minutes in before we finally got tired of laughing and changed the channel.

Turn Table questions
03/08/14 at 02:06:09
Hi Guys,
I know I'm in the right place to get good answers and some possible good suggestions. I absolutely no nothing about turn tables and have two different turn tables to ask questions about. I'll start out with my brother in laws situation first. He has a very low volume situation so were figuring he may need to add a preamp. The question I have is there another option he can try like a new cartridge is it possible to increase the out put by changing cartridges rather than doing a preamp? I do not know what brand he has my sister purchased it for him he said it was a half way decent turn table.
My question is my father gave me an Akai AP-Q60 direct drive quartz turntable. I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade the IC's going from the turn table to my preamp or is this something I shouldn't be concerned about? They are direct wired into the unit this is a fairly large turn table. With all of the vinyl being spun on this site I figured I owe it to myself to give it a try on my tube set up to see what I have been missing. I haven't hooked it up yet to see what the condition of the needle and cartridge may be but am looking forward to giving it a try. I will probably need to get around 8' long interconnects to reach the turn table.
Thanks in advance for your advise!

Hi Digger,
I have a simple Technics Turntable setup and have some rudimentary knowledge in this area.
For your brother-in-law's case, the output from the turntable is too low.
Hence a turntable preamp, nowadays, is always required.
Normally, MM cartridges require less preamping than MC cartridges.
For your other question, audiophiles are usually more concerned about upgrading the internal Tonearm wiring than the external interconnects.
Any decent IC should suffice.
The usual rules about keeping ICs as short as possible also applies too.
There is a very steep learning curve for Turntables.
The following Turntable online forum might be of use to you.
Good Luck!

More than just because of low signal output, a phono preamp circuit is required because there is an EQ applied to the signal cut into the record grooves that needs to be reversed for playback. In the old days these were built into integrated amps and receivers, of varying quality, but these days a separate phono preamp is required. There are many available, from a 20 dollar to much much more expensive models.

Turntable cartridges all vary in the amount of output voltage they generate. This is really all over the map and the amount of gain required will vary based on this, but a phono preamp is absolutely required. Many preamps also include a phono stage as a convenience.
Steve's ZP3 is a stand alone phono preamp and a very good one, but even that may not yield enough gain if the cartridge is classified as low output, often associated with moving coil designs. Steve sells step up transformers in varying strengths to assist low output moving coil designs so that by the time the signal hits the ZP3 it can be handled effectively. A moving magnet cartridge most often has enough output voltage so that the ZP3 alone will do its thing.
Others talked about reverse equalization. The recording industry uses the RIAA curve to encode signals on vinyl. RIAA equalization is a specification for the recording and playback of phonograph records, established by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). I pasted that last sentence straight from Wikipedia. Phono preamps deal with this.
If you can find out the make and model of the cartridge in question everyone can jump in with more guideance. Don't worry about messing with the IC on the Akai table.
For a beginner or someone on a budget there are many excellent moving magnet (MM) cartriges out there. This often allows you to avoid getting a step up transformer (SUT). Moving coil (MC) cartridges come in both high output and low output designs. Most vinyl audiophiles avoid the high output moving coil (HOMC) designs as they feel they don't bring enough detail, but some of these can be run without the SUT. LOMC carts are the realm of most vinyl junkies and they can cost into the thousands of dollars, and they will require a SUT along with the phono preamp.
The good news today with tons of new tables hitting the market is that one can get a very usable table and cartridge combined for under $1k. A phono preamp will also be needed of course. My TT setup cost me about $1,500 total and it sounds great. I do have a preamp with a built-in phono front end to drive it. When I upgrade some day I will have to likely triple that investment to get a real noticable lift. Vinyl is worth that investment howerver IMO.
I hope that helps and doesn't scare you off.

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the information I will look into trying to find out the brand of turntable and cartridge in my brother in laws turn table for some more cross referencing. I was wondering about the IC's on the Akai and am glad I should proceed with what it has on it. I just feel I need to experience some vinyl running through this system its been since the early to mid 80's since playing any vinyl and not on a system remotely close to what I have today should be a good experience.
Thanks again! I appreciate every ones input I know I'm not working with any high end turntable or anything but should be a fun experience to hear it again.
Keep on spinning them!

Something else that came up in the fall was the discovery of mold in the walk-in cooler in the basement. Bummer! The whole walk-in cooler experiment was... very interesting but it was definitely time to move on. We had a modified air conditioner keeping it cold in there, but it just wasn't doing the job properly anymore. Jeremy purchased a chest freezer off Craigslist and did a conversion to make it more of a fridge. He got another one to use as a freezer. All the mushrooms went to love in the chest fridge and freezer in the garage. We still had a lot of bags of chicken feed in the walk-in, which we kept there to keep away from the mice. But then we discovered the mice had chewed their way in – underground I think, through the basement floor, up through several layers of insulation and plywood till they found a way in. So we got another chest freezer, one that didn't work, so it was free, and we piled all the chicken feed in there. Airtight and mouse proof! Of course – we now have four chest freezers in the garage! Sigh.
Oh. And then Jeremy bought a professional walk-in cooler off Craigslist. It's pretty much a bunch of walls and a ceiling that have to be put together. Of course there is no room in the garage for it at the moment because of how much is in there. We need to do a good cleaning of the garage – get rid of some junk, try to sell that lovely claw-foot bathtub we bought years ago (and now know we will not be using), move things around, organize, etc. A lot of that will be dependent on being able to move some things into the basement. Which is totally packed and unorganized too! So... first things first – we dismantled and removed the root cellar/walk-in cooler. We're leaving some of the stud walls to create shelving along the back wall. Then we'll be able to organize a lot more stuff into the basement. And we'll be able to clear out the bit of shelving at the front of the basement, which we plan to convert into a chick brooder because we're planning to kill the rest of our chickens this spring and start a new batch of chicks! It seems all so normal and not a big deal until I say it (or type it out) and then I think – we are crazy!!
|These were the canning shelves, devoid of canned goods and coming down. This shelving was attached to the outside of the root cellar / walk-in, so it all had to go!
|Here's the outside of the root cellar, one last time!
|canning shelves coming down nicely...
|Taking off the sheathing, revealing the insulation we'll have to deal with...
|Jeremy took out every piece of sheathing and insulation one by one, then I took it through the basement, up the stairs, out the door, to the garage. Boy did my legs hurt after all the stair climbing! And now our garage is packed full of this stuff!
|Jeremy surveying the next steps.
|Ah, here's where the mice were getting through! When all the insulation was cleared away we discovered a LOT of holes in the foundation wall, right in the edge between floor and wall. We're going to have to fill those with concrete soon.
|We used a blower for much of the process, pointed right out the window, because of the mold. Better safe than sorry!
|Getting ready for taking off the interior sheathing...
Oh. And then there's my plan to re-do the bathroom as well. (See what I mean about crazy?) I've been scheming and thinking about if for months, but biding my time till January because I just couldn't think about it till now. And now Jeremy and I have had a chat about it, and there is a plan. But it's dependent on finding a new bathtub first. A good long one, like six feet I think, and extra wide. We don't want a whirlpool/spa tub, though at that size maybe you can't get a "normal" tub. And the drain needs to be on the right or in the center. And we can't really afford the $1000 or so pricetag I've been seeing for that big of a tub. I'm thinking more like... $200. Any takers? =) So that requisition might slow things down a lot. But once we secure that, I'm super excited about the changes to the bathroom. I'll have to blog more about that in the future because we have some sinks to decide between and a really beautiful cabinet we got from some friends that just has to be in the bathroom. So stay tuned for that (but you know, not too eagerly...)
Bonus! The tea shelf I bought at Savers in 2008 had become woefully too small for our tea collection. I designed a new version. My sneaky plan was to tell Jeremy the size of the boards I needed so he could cut them out. Then I will put it all together. Well, Jeremy saw my picture so he went ahead and put it all together for me. Yay! I feel like we could already use a slightly bigger one...or maybe we should cut down on the tea? Anyway, it's very simple and beautiful and I love my new tea shelf!

That's bring your own bike.
What were you thinking?
If you haven't signed up for today's San Joaquin Bike Fest, you can register this morning or skip the bike ride and enjoy live music, food, a retro bike show and Valley Brew beer.
This kid-friendly event benefits the Emergency Food Bank of Stockton/San Joaquin and helps educational programs of the San Joaquin Bicycle Coalition.
"There are four scenic bike routes. You can do one of them or link all of them together," Kimberly Maxwell, fund development director at the food bank, said. "There's a kids safety village, and there will be live music."
The band will be covering '80s hits and participants are urged to dress up in '80s-themed outfits.
"The biggest twist this year is two-fold," Tim Viall of the bike coalition said. "It's just bikes, no walkers this year. The second thing is we have a band, Pushers and Thieves. A bunch of people younger than me say they are a really good band."
Viall, who formerly served as director of the food bank, loves combining his passion for helping feed the hungry with his passion for bicycling.
The local hunger problem is not abating and fundraisers such as this help.
"Thus far, the need has not decreased; just like it was during the winter months, we still get the long lines of people waiting for help every day. However, the face of hunger has changed," Rebeca Knodt, executive director of the food bank, said. "Seventy-seven percent of the people Emergency Food Bank and Family Service helps are the working poor, most of them families, seniors, and students. People just like any of us that had good full-time jobs and due to the economic crisis lost their job and now are unemployed or only working part time to survive."
And the "Get Fit" portion of the event will feature booths with information on health and wellness.
"It's a great little event," Heidi Coffee of Central Valley/Delta Physical Therapy, one of the sponsors with a booth, said. "We hope to see more people come out."
And, there's also a way to quench your thirst that doesn't require the other kind of BYOB.
"Valley Brew is hosting a beer garden at the festival," Viall said.
Ah, so bring your wallet.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Malurus coronatus (Purple-crowned Fairy-wren) is a bird endemic to Northern and Western Australia. Two subspecies are recognized, Malurus coronatus coronatus and Malurus coronatus macgillivrayi. This species can be found near water and thick vegetation such as Pandanus, Chionachne cyathopoda, or other canegrass. This bird is 14 cm in length and has a blue tail that sticks vertically in the air. During breeding season, males develop a purple crown with a black spot in the center on the top of their head. Purple-crowned Fairy-wrens breed in monogamous pairs and male offspring are known to stay with the breeding pair for up to four years to care for other young. This species is an insectivore and may eat leaf matter found in canegrass. Banding records indicate that individuals live for nine years or more.

Robert Huth has revealed how he was trapped on a trans-Atlantic flight when the full effects of his meningitis began to take hold.
Huth believes he contracted the disease during the Potters' pre-season tour of the United States but only really began to suffer on the flight home at the beginning of the month.
"I didn't feel particularly great while we were out there," said the 28-year-old Huth. "On the flight going home, I could feel it getting worse and worse - and 35,000ft up in the sky is not a great place to be when your health is going downhill rapidly."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - After a rare weekend off, the Yale men's soccer team returns to action on Tuesday with a visit to nearby Sacred Heart. It is the final tune up for the Bulldogs before Saturday's Ivy League opener against Harvard. Kickoff at Sacred Heart's Campus Field is slated for 4 p.m. Live stats and video will be available from sacredheartpioneers.com. In addition, fans can follow the game on Yale soccer's twitter page, http://twitter.com/yalesoccer.
Yale (2-2-2) hasn't played since a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to Rhode Island last Tuesday. Freshman Scott Armbrust was named to the Ivy League Honor Roll on Monday. Armbrust scored his team-leading fourth goal against the Rams. Junior Brad Rose has been making a significant offensive contribution as well. He assisted on Armbrust's goal against URI and has five points (1 goal, 2 assists) in the last two games.
The Bulldogs' offense will get a good test against the Pioneers, who have allowed only five goals in their five games. Goalkeeper Alex Fait has a 0.96 goals against average and an .857 save percentage. Sacred Heart (2-3) is coming off a 1-0 loss to Iona on Saturday.
Last year in New Haven, Yale and Sacred Heart combined for 35 shots but played a scoreless tie. The Bulldogs lead the all-time series with the Pioneers 3-1-1.
NOTE: Yale head coach Brian Tompkins and selected players will be guests on WYBC's (1340 AM) Yale Sports Monday program on Monday night (Sept. 28) at approximately 8:25 p.m. The program can be heard at wybc.com.

Common Kitchen Report
Wow, what a fair! A Fair for the record books, and even with all those people, it didn't feel crowded with the new arrangement of booths. In the Common Kitchen, we served about 3,500 wholesome, nutritious meals to all our hardworking, dedicated, tired volunteers during setup, breakdown and the Fair.
This year we had even more great food than ever, thanks to an increasing number of generous, certified growers and the untiring efforts of Patti Hamilton in finding new donors. We even grew food for the kitchen right in the gardens on the fairground this year, including a blue-ribbon-winning cauliflower head that weighed 12 pounds. Patti also cooks the delicious meals served to setup volunteers.
Our mentor and traditional Friday cook took this year off to have another baby: Kim Bolshaw had a sweet little baby boy named Merrill and decided to devote this year's Fair to her family instead of the rigors of cooking. Great work, Kim, but you have to work twice as hard next year. Madeline, Barbara and Patti took over the rest of the cooking with a few new interns to help fill in for Kim, and all had a good time.
I mostly goofed off and worked only 20 hours a day instead of my usual 25 due to my advanced years. The kitchen ran pretty smoothly thanks to the innovation added last year – our beautiful walk-in cooler (Thanks, Vern!), and we look forward to perfecting our operation even more next year, since it looks like we'll be serving even more volunteers.
Thanks to everyone who makes the kitchen possible, including our generous donors (below). If you would like to become a donor and win fame and fortune and have your name seen by 60,000+ fairgoers and be listed here next year, call the office at 568-4142 or me at 225-3915 and we'll be happy to accept your donation. See you next year!

Common Kitchen Heroes and a Recipe
We had a great 2007 Fair! The intern program was a success: Vince Dufort, this year's intern, shared considerable time and his great enthusiasm for cooking; we hope to see him again next year. Special mention goes to Jack Kertesz for whipping up 150 chapattis on Saturday night when we ran out of bread for dinner; and to Sidney Mitchell for washing dishes until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Thanks also to Lori Pinette for her work on Sunday lunch and dinner. She whipped up some fabulous dishes, especially the rabbit shepherd's pie with biscuit topping.
Here's a quick soup to keep readers thinking of the Common Kitchen until next September.
Red Lentil Curried Soup
1 onion, minced and sautéed with a bay leaf
Add 2 c. rinsed red lentils.
Add 1 quart water, bring to boil.
Add 1 to 2 Tbsp. curry powder.
Simmer until done (45 min. to 1 1/2 hours, when water is reduced to create a smooth consistency).
Add salt to taste.
Add 1 c. chopped cilantro as topping and a paper-thin lemon slice for authenticity.

Yes, thumbnails are rendering today incorrectly: text is not floating around thumbnails defined as
thumb|right or
thumb|left. Puppy confirms this on six different browsers, and logged-in and logged-out. He also reports that another Wikia wiki has new behavior involving the VisualEditor, which would make him the first Uncyclopedian to see actual evidence of its existence. Spıke Ѧ 12:47 7-May-14
I have phoned this in using Special:Contact (ticket: 135942) and Puppy has emailed Sannse. 12:51 7-May-14 George Marbulcanti of Wikia replied, "I am seeing the same issue, and I have flagged this up with the technical team for urgent investigation. Apologies for this issue, and best regards." Spıke Ѧ 15:02 7-May-14
- Is this part of a 'leftist' plot? Answers are demanded, questions raised and suspicions stoked. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 07:33, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
Technical details
The HTML that Wikia produces is now different and includes <FIG> and <FIGCAPTION>. I've been able to re-create almost the same effect by adding the following to my personal CSS:
FIGURE { border:solid 1px black } FIGURE.tleft { float:left } FIGURE.tright { float:right } P.caption { font-size:smaller !important }
We could add this to the site-wide CSS, but I'm sure it doesn't cover all the cases, and the right thing to do is for Wikia render pages the way they used to. Spıke Ѧ 11:01 8-May-14
Observed separately
I don't know a way to fix PEBKAC, which seems to have all of its images left-justified and not aligned with the paragraphs. Could someone have a look? I am suspicious that this may be a PEBCAK issue ... :-) Phrank Psinatra (talk) 02:01, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
- Looks like you put both 400px and thumb on the same image. You don't need both of these. Thumb automatically resizes the image to thumbnail size. So take out the 400px parameter and you should be set. See UN:IMAGE for proper formatting of a right-aligned image. The right-aligned image on that page is near the bottom (its the one of Tony Blair badly photoshopped). -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 05:24, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
- PS - It has been confirmed that thumbnails are currently broken and not right-justifying correctly. A bug report has been put in.
See related forum.

Thumbnails Fixed
Seems to have been done now. Check current feature pages. --RomArtus*Imperator ITRA (Orate) ® 11:35, May 14, 2014 (UTC)
- They seem to have added code (perhaps in the intrinsic CSS file) to respect left/right/center coding and make the text float around it; but the thumbnails are not as they were: captions are larger (Aleister's ritually boldfaced captions would now dominate the article text) and there is no gadget to zoom in on the photo.

Advisory from Wikia
Wikia's George Marbulcanti (Kirkburn) directs me to http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:DaNASCAT/Technical_Update:_May_6,_2014, which says that the class names given to thumbnails have been changed generally. I will go to our Uncyclopedia skin files and try to align them with the new naming scheme.
...Where my first reaction is that we mostly did not specify either the old or the new class names (except for one case, noted at UN:HAX, where authors can specify transparent backgrounds for thumbnails). Conclusion: Our historical similarity to Wikipedia is because Wikia was historically similar to Wikipedia. Now Wikia is going in a different direction. Anyone for whom this is a deal-breaker, broke the deal already in 2013. I will work on MediaWiki:Uncyclopedia.css, assuming that anyone sticking with a different skin wants to see things the Wikia way. Spıke Ѧ 16:29,16:48 24-May-14
I see what they've done — they don't seem likely to undo it — and I have restored the Wikipedia-like border around thumbnails, the smaller captions, and the author's option for transparency on nonwhite backgrounds. I put that in MediaWiki:Common.css, though it will take effect on all skins, because that was where related code was. Don't think we will ever get back the widget in the lower corner with which to blow up the image. Spıke Ѧ 18:31 24-May-14
For the "widget" (or, as it calls itself, the sprite), I have added a placeholder "(sprite)" in the thumbnail caption. Right now, Wikia renders an anchor of class "sprite" with no image at all. I have asked George to see if Wikia can't give us ours back. In my personal JavaScript file, I have code to put something there:
$("FIGCAPTION A.sprite").html("<IMG src='http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20071211233544/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/c/c9/Symbol_against_vote.svg/13px-Symbol_against_vote.svg.png'>");
This could be moved to MediaWiki:Uncyclopedia.js (with the original sprite). Spıke Ѧ 17:20 25-May-14
Wikia announces at http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:DaNASCAT/Technical_Update:_May_27,_2014 : "We are retiring the media attribution feature below image/video thumbnails - this means over the next few days the text under image and video captions will disappear as article caches expire." (Emphasis mine.) I will counteract this with local code if I can, but if this means that they intend that the
[[File:...|thumb|...]] format not render the caption at all, we will have to file another bug report. Spıke Ѧ 14:09 27-May-14
PS--George replies: "It's just concerning the "Added by [Someone]" text that appears on the Wikia skin, underneath the caption. The caption text itself isn't going anywhere." Spıke Ѧ 01:35 28-May-14
- Thanks for the notifications. Sir ScottPat (converse) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 06:57, May 28, 2014 (UTC)
And thank you for reading. As of this morning, pages are rendering completely without the
A.sprite. I could write JavaScript to reinsert it, if anyone cares. Spıke Ѧ 10:53 28-May-14
- I'm getting that stupid Sprite thing on the pictures on my talk page. Did Wikia let a hacker into the room where the computers are kept? Aleister 15:20 28-5-14

Bob Evans awards $100,000 to Rio Grande
February 1, 2013
RIO GRANDE, Ohio – The Hospitality Management program at the University of Rio Grande / Rio Grande Community College has received a $100,000 gift from the Bob Evans Farms Foundation, designed to further develop the dynamic new program.
Rio Grande's innovative management training program launched in the fall and offers accredited Bachelor's and Associate Degrees with the opportunity for students to gain real-world experience, and course credit, while working for Bob Evans.

President Gellman-Danley said the grant allows for further development of the Hospitality Management program and increased enrollment, which will in turn improve the economic impact on the region.
The grant stems from the sale of the former Bob Evans Farms, Inc. transportation center in Bidwell, Ohio. Sold to the Gallia County-based Foster Sales & Delivery, a portion of the proceeds went to the Bob Evans Farms Foundation to continue the philanthropic spirit of company founder, Bob Evans.
"We're so pleased to support education with this gift – a cause that was so important to our company's founder," said Joe Eulberg, Executive Vice President of Human Resources for Bob Evans Farms. "And we're thrilled to help prepare the students of southeastern Ohio for careers in the growing hospitality industry."

"How to get the kids off the computer?" is the question for today's parents, who often are alarmed to find themselves more fit than their children. One answer: Give them outdoor sports gear so cool, so innovative, so captivating that it tricks them into running around in the grass or playing on the streets -- if not all day, at least for an hour or two. That'll still leave them plenty of time to rush back in and instant message their friends about it.
Scooter kicked up a notch
Pulse Kick 'n Go Xcelerator: Super scooter with a foot-operated, ratcheting gear mechanism that drives the rear wheel.
Likes: Instant mastery. Nothing to figure out. Pump your foot up and down on the ratchet bar to propel it as fast as 10 miles per hour. High coolness factor. Kids never need to put a foot on the ground. Can also be used as a regular push scooter. Includes a hand brake and a kickstand. Very stable due to big wheel in front. The kids in my neighborhood loved Kick 'N Go and fought over it for three hours after I left it with them.
Dislikes: Can be a little slower than a normal push scooter. The kids kept asking, "When are they coming out with a model with a second gear?"
Price: $119.99. (866) 434-6067; www.pulsekickngo.com.
A sled for all seasons
Ice Meister Slicer: An all-season plastic sled, outfitted with two thin blocks of ice, designed to slide down grassy slopes. Ice lasts one hour at room temperature, much less in 80-degree heat.
Likes: Great fun for everyone. Feels just like snow sledding, without the snow. All smiles and laughter as you zoom downhill. Easy set up: fill up the two square-foot, 2-inch-deep ice trays, freeze overnight, clip into bottom of sled, and find a grassy slope. It's stealthy fitness; the kids happily ran uphill to do it again and again. Can be used all day in the snow and 45 minutes on grass (until the ice blocks melt).
Dislikes: The ice blocks melt. If no steep, grassy hill is nearby, you're out of luck.
Price: $59.95. (303) 517-1973; www.icesled.com.
Skater's challenge
Xliders: Two matching mini-skateboards with dual, fully pivoting wheels.
Likes: Challenging, coordination-building and -- once you get the hang of it -- extremely cool. It's skateboard-meets-in-line skates. You propel yourself by wiggling your body and pumping your legs back and forth. The manufacturer's claims that Xliders help build a better athlete seem true; your whole body works hard just to maintain balance. Athletic types will love the maneuverability, the speed and the challenge.
Dislikes: Not so easy to learn. The instability can be scary. Requires coordination, balance, guts and patience. Non-athletes and the uninsured will flee in fear.
Price: $149.99. (800) 586-7872; www.jumpusa.com.
Shoes with a message
Graffeeti Shoes: Retro high-top sports sneakers with writeable areas on them.
Likes: They're fun and encourage social interaction. "The concept of writeable shoes is great," said our 12-year-old tester, who used them as "human text messaging" -- i.e. flirting with girls ("Hi, I like your shoes") and joking with his male friends ("You dork"). He says "everyone likes to write on their shoes nowadays -- especially girls." One pen attaches to the shoe for instant use. Comes with six colors of pens. Rubs off with a tissue.
Dislikes: Not sporty enough for real sports. Slippery soles lack good grip for running. Hard to put on due to narrow high-top and use of sticky, plastic-y material. The dry-erase ink doesn't come off easily if you leave it on more than a couple days.
Price: $41.(800) 851-1272; www.graffeeti.com.

Who's more unprofessional, this guy who fumbled his interview, or the person who conducted the interview that ran to the internet to tell his online buddies the story entitled "unemployed jagass"?
I bet the candidate really missed out on working for a great boss like you.
For the sake of transparency, yes I was drunk.
Job interviews sound fun. I should try doing one someday.
Not to get a job. But to f*ck with people.

CLEVELAND (CNN) -- The baby Amanda Berry gave birth to while she was held captive in a Cleveland home was delivered by another one of the young women in the house, according to a police source familiar with the investigation.
The information was corroborated in a police report seen by CNN. When Berry went into labor, Ariel Castro, now charged with kidnapping and rape, grabbed captive Michelle Knight and told her to deliver the baby.
The baby was born into a plastic tub or pool to contain the afterbirth and amniotic fluid.
When the baby was born, it stopped breathing and everyone started screaming, the source said, citing the girl's account. Castro allegedly said, "if that baby dies, I'm going to kill you."
"What's most incredible here is that this girl who knows nothing about childbirth was able to deliver a baby that is now a healthy 6-year-old," the source said.
The three women spent their days and nights captive at 2207 Seymour Avenue, a 1,400-square-foot home in one of Cleveland's oldest neighborhoods. They went outside only twice in that span -- just "briefly" at that -- Cleveland public safety director Martin Flask said.
More often, the three would be in different rooms, though they interacted occasionally and came to "rely on each other for survival," said a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the investigation.
One thing they could count on was that their alleged captor would never let them out.
Castro would often test Berry, Knight and Georgina "Gina" DeJesus, the young women he'd allegedly abducted, by pretending to leave, said the law enforcement source. He'd return suddenly: If there were indications any of the women had moved, they'd be disciplined.
Years went by. In that time, the women saw their parents on television at vigils held for them, according to the law enforcement source. They got emotional, knowing their loved ones were looking for them.
And in time, Knight and DeJesus "succumbed" to "their reality," the law enforcement source said.
But "something must have clicked" for Berry on Monday evening, said Cleveland's deputy police chief Ed Tomba. She staged a daring escape, and with the help of Castro's neighbors Charles Ramsey and Angel Cordero, freed herself, her 6-year-old daughter, Knight and DeJesus.
On Wednesday night, Castro, the man who allegedly held them against their will for so many years, was behind bars.
He'll be arraigned Thursday morning on four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape tied to the case, said Victor Perez, chief assistant prosecutor for the city of Cleveland.
The women found in his home, meanwhile, are back with family -- the same relatives who cried and struggled but, for the most part, never gave up hope.
"I knew my daughter was out there alive," said Felix DeJesus, Gina's father, moments after she arrived Wednesday afternoon at a family home in Cleveland. "I knew she needed me, and I never gave up."
Knight was 21 on August 22, 2002, when Castro lured her into his vehicle along Cleveland's Lorain Avenue, according to charging documents. Castro took her back to his home on Seymour Avenue, about three miles away, and didn't let her go.
In that time, Knight was sexually assaulted repeatedly, the documents state. But soon, she wasn't alone.
The next year -- on April 21, 2003, the eve of her 17th birthday -- Berry experienced the same nightmare scenario. While walking home from her job at Burger King that night, she too took a ride from Castro on Lorain Avenue.
Almost exactly a year later, they were joined by DeJesus, then all of 14 years old.
They remained in that hell until Monday evening, when Berry screamed for help. Hearing her cries, Ramsey and Cordero kicked in a door to help her escape.
According to Cordero, Berry's 6-year-old daughter ran out of the house too, wearing only a diaper and a sullied shirt. Police are conducting a DNA test to determine the child's paternity.
"Help me, I am Amanda Berry," Berry begged a 911 operator from Ramsey's house. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years. And I'm here, I'm free now."
Cleveland police Chief Michael McGrath told NBC's "Today" show that the women were bound and that there were "chains and ropes in the home."
There were no apparent constraints Monday, the law enforcement source with firsthand knowledge of the investigation said. Yet Knight and DeJesus didn't run out of the house with Berry although they could have, the source said, describing them as brainwashed and fearful.
So how did this all happen in an urban neighborhood? Did Castro, a former school bus driver and upbeat and "outgoing" musician, according to one bandmate, keep such a secret from not only his neighbors but his family, as police allege?
Soon after the three women were found, Castro and two of his brothers who were with him were taken into custody.
Over the next two days, authorities officials "found no facts to link" Onil and Pedro Castro to the kidnappings -- though both brothers will appear in Cleveland Municipal Court on Thursday related to outstanding warrants on misdemeanor cases on other matters.
"Ariel kept everybody at a distance," Tomba said of the suspect, explaining why even his brothers and other family members (Castro talked on Facebook about having five grandchildren) apparently were in the dark.
Castro has been talking to investigators since Tuesday, as have the three young women police say he kidnapped and raped.
After those conversations, Tomba said he doesn't believe there are other victims -- including Ashley Summers, who was 14 when she went missing in the same part of Cleveland in 2007 -- or anyone other than Castro involved.
And since Monday, law enforcement personnel have combed through Castro's Seymour Avenue home -- which Tomba said was in "disarray" when officers first went in -- and removed more than 200 items that they hope will let them piece together what happened.
Additionally, FBI agents searched a boarded-up home two doors down after obtaining information over the past few days tying that building to the case, the deputy police chief explained.
Second-guessing if more could have been done
As they investigate, authorities are facing second-guessing as to whether any of this could have been prevented. Some comes from neighbors who say they contacted police about suspicious activity on Castro's property such as reports of screaming and naked women in his backyard. Authorities say they never got any such calls.
In fact, police say they had only been to Castro's house twice, once after he called about a fight on his street and in 2004 to investigate an incident in which he was accused of leaving a child alone on a bus. No one answered at the home, and investigators later interviewed him elsewhere, police said.
And according to court documents from 2005, Castro's former common-law wife accused him of repeatedly abusing her, including breaking her nose twice, breaking two ribs, dislocating her shoulder twice and knocking out a tooth. A judge granted a protection order but lifted it three months later.
Tomba, for one, said he doesn't think authorities dropped the ball.
"I'm just very, very confident (that) law enforcement officers ... checked every single lead, and if there was one bit of evidence (they would have) followed it up very, very aggressively," he said.
"In hindsight, we may find out that maybe we did, but that's going to be in hindsight."
For the first time in years, relatives of Berry, DeJesus and Knight -- whom Perez described Wednesday as "safe and healthy" -- don't have only memories to fall back on. They can look forward, and move on with their lives.
Barbara Knight told "Today" that, as of Wednesday, she still hadn't talked with her daughter Michelle. Michelle Knight, now 32, was then in a Cleveland hospital in a good condition.
"She's probably angry at the world, because she thought she would never be found," Barbara Knight said. "But thank God that somebody did."
Asked what she would tell her daughter, her mother said, "I love you and I missed you all this time."
Well-wishers welcomed Berry and her daughter on Wednesday to a family home in Cleveland that was decorated with balloons and stuffed animals.
"We are so happy to have Amanda and her daughter home," said her sister, Beth Serrano.
A similar scene played out at a DeJesus family home, where relatives embraced their long-lost relative.
Sandra Ruiz said that her niece, DeJesus, is "ecstatic" to be back with her relatives. When the now 23-year-old arrived at the house, "she was happy, she looked at the house and she wanted a tour."
"What more can she say -- her face, her expression, her smile, (her) hugging says it all."
CNN's Pamela Brown reported from Cleveland, and CNN's Greg Botelho and Matt Smith reported and wrote from Atlanta. CNN's Michael Pearson, Zoraida Sambolin, Poppy Harlow, Ed Payne, Brian Todd, Rose Arce, Tory Dunnan, Martin Savidge, Laura Ly and Rande Iaboni contributed to this report.
