Cement Additives for Permeation Grouting
Cement Additives For Permiation Grouting
(Foam, Fly Ash, Blast Furnace Slag and Silica Fume)
By: Olivia Marshall and David Quintal
April 7th, 2014
There are many different additives that can be used in cement mixes which are used to improve certain properties of the mixture depending on the application. This project focuses on foam (cellular), fly ash, blast furnace slag, and silica fume as additives and partial replacement of cement grouts.
Grout is used to improve many inadequate or failed soils by injecting stabilizing materials. Cement grout is typically injected into granular soils to improve bearing capacity, reduce settlements and permeability and mitigate liquefaction (Akbulut, 2003). Grout is in general injected until the soil cannot accept any more grout however even small amounts of grout injected into soils can significantly improve soil characteristics (Ali, 1992).
Each additive has unique properties that contribute to improvement of certain properties of the grout. The specific changes in properties of a grout mixture can often be either an advantage, disadvantage or both depending on the application. The effects and applications of the cement additives or alternatives are given below for each of the additives.
Foam (Cellular) Grout
Figure 1: Foam used for for grout mixture (Cellular Concrete, 2014)
Foam or cellular grout is a cement grout mixture that contains foaming agents (surfactants) (Bruce, 2005). The foaming agents create many small air voids in the mix that reduce the unit weight and improve flow of the mixture. Foam grout density ranges from about 30-80 pcf (480-1300 kg/m3) which result in 28-day compressive strengths of 50-1200 psi (350-8300 kPa). The density and compressive strengths of the mix are tradeoffs: the higher the density, the higher the compressive strength. To achieve a specific compressive strength, different mix designs should be tested to find a minimum density to achieve the desired strength (Henn, 2003). Figure 2 shows the tradeoff between density and compressive strength for cellular grouts with varying degrees of foaming. With increased quantities of foam the density (unit weight) decreases resulting in a decrease in compressive strength.
Figure 2: Variation of compressive strength with unit weight and cure time for foam grouts (Vipulanandan, 2000)
Easy to level
Free flowing (easy to pump vertically and horizontally, fills small voids)
Does not require compaction (fills voids)
Frost resistance
Good thermal insulation
Good water absorption
Fast and inexpensive
Can pick desired density and strength (Barnes, 2009)
Good energy absorption (Vipulanandan, 2000)
Can endure deformations (Vipulanandan, 2000)
Requires low pump pressure (Midwest Mole)
Low strength (McGillivray, 2012)
High compressibility (McGillivray, 2012)
If placed below the water table, the foam grout must be dense enough to displace the water (Henn, 2003).
Foam grout is typically used as a low cost option when strength is not a requirement (McGillivray, 2012). The air voids in foam grout allow the material to be somewhat compressible and therefore a good material for increased energy absorption. This property makes foam grout a good option for seismic areas, highways, and airport runways (Henn, 2003). It can also be used as backfill for tunnels and pipelines and fill material. It is also used to fill in the ring between the outside of a pipe and it's surroundings (backpack grouting) (Vipulanandan, 2000).
Sliplining has been used with increasing popularity to replace existing concrete sewer pipes. In this process a new pipe is introduced within the existing pipe and the annular space between the pipes is filled with grout to support the new pipe and control infiltration. Poor grouting mixes and practices have resulted in many problems when it comes to sliplining including "unwanted buoyant uplift, excess deflection or collapse of the new liner pipe." To avoid these problems it is very important to use a lightweight grout with good flow properties which is why foam grouts are typically used for these applications (Vipulanandan, 2000).
Although foam grout is generally used as a lightweight material to fill voids, it can also be used for stabilization purposes such as protecting slopes against earthquakes or preventing liquefaction. Typically, to stabilize a soil with grout the void space is completely filled with a particulate or chemical grout but often the same soil could be adequately stabilized by grouting the particle contacts without filling all the void space. Ali and Woods show how particle contact grouting can be accomplished with the use of a foam grout. By introducing bubbles through the foaming process, sand specimens were able to be grouted to various degrees of cementation. A micrograph showing cemented particles surrounded by void space can be seen below in Figure 3. For large scale remediation projects, the amount saved by not completely filling the void space can be significant (Ali, 2009).

Case Study
Sinkhole remediation in Hillsborough Florida (McGillivray, 2012)
In 2003 a sand/cement/foam grout was used by McGillivray et al. to successfully treat sinkholes in Hillsborough Florida. The foam used for this project was a synthetic material which came in a concentrate form. Using a foam generator, shown in Figure 4, a foaming agent with small stable bubbles was created and dispensed directly into mixing trucks, shown in Figure 5. The mixing trucks, which originally contained a partial load of sand/cement/fly ash grout mixes the foaming agent with the grout mixture to create a pre-formed foam grout, shown in Figure 6. For this application, the grout was only required to be slightly stronger than the surrounding soil so a target strength of 3 MPa was used. Laboratory compressive strength tests of the foam grout used for the project had an average strength of 3 MPa with a standard deviation of 0.6 Mpa. Through experimentation it was shown that a 60% to 40% grout/foam mixture would result in a 20 to 25% savings on cost for a typical sinkhole remediation project compared to using traditional grouts.

Fly Ash
Figure 7: Fly ash (Portland Cement Association)
Figure 8: Fly ash particles (University of Kentucky, 2014)
Fly ash (ASTM C618) is a by-product of the combustion of coal in power plants. In cement mixes, a portion of the cement can be substituted with fly ash due to its pozzolanic properties. Fly ash is a electrically precipitated powder produced from crushed coal. The fine (10 micrometer) particles are made up of silicate glass spheres containing silica, alumina, iron and calcium. The particle gradation is slightly more coarse than portland cement. Since fly ash is a waste product, it's properties can vary by source (Weaver, 2007).
Fly ash comes in two different types: Class C and Class F. Class F is rather inexpensive and has pozzolanic characteristics but cannot set without a source of calcium (lime or cement). Class F fly ash is produced from anthracite or bituminous coal and cures slowly. Class C has both cementitious and pozzolanic characteristics, so it can set by itself without cement. It is produced from subbituminous or lignite coal and can be pulverized to improve hydraulic properties. If more than 15% by weight of cement is Class C fly ash, the grout can deteriorate due to expansive tendencies of the Class C fly ash. There should be no more than 10% carbon used in grouts containing fly ash since more water will be required (Weaver, 2007).
Typically for a fly ash/cement grout, 15-20% of the cement is replaced by grout but due to economic and environmental pressure, high volume fly ash/cement grouts (grouts containing > 55% fly ash) are being used with greater regularity. A few important property changes that occur from the use of high volume fly ash use include a decrease in flow time for low water/cement ratios, significantly increased stability for high water/cement ratios, a decrease in setting time due to the slow reaction of fly ash (shown below in Figure 9) and a reduction in modulus of elasticity (Mirza, 1999).
Figure 9: Effect of 60% fly ash on the initial setting time of portland cement and portland cement/fly ash mixtures (Mirza, 1999)
Often a cheap partial replacement for cement
Reduces heat generation during curing
Type F fly ash has sulfate resistant properties
Using fly ash in foam grouts can increase long term compressive strength, especially with type F fly ash (Henn, 2003)
Delays setting time and gain of strength
Provides chemical stability
Reduces permeability
Increases flowability/pumpability
Type C fly ash can increase water repellent characteristics (Weaver, 2007)
Reduces bleed water (Portland Cement Association)
Reduction of shrinkage upon drying (Mirza, 1999)
Reduced compressive strength (Mirza, 1999)
Increased setting time (Mirza, 1999)
Because of its typically inexpensive nature, fly ash is often used as a partial cement replacement for high volume applications such as soil, rock or oil well grouting (Mirza, 1999).
In the process of sliplining, briefly explained above in the foam grout section, significant amounts of fly ash are often used as a partial replacement of cement for foam grouts. Fly ash is primarily used to reduce cost, decrease shrinkage, increase flowability and manipulate other mechanical and chemical properties of a specific grout (Vipulanandan, 2000). An example of the shrinkage reduction of foam grouts from the use of class C fly ash can be seen below in Figure 10:
Figure 10: Reduction in shrinkage of a foam grout from the use of 50% fly ash replacement of cement (Vipulanandan, 2000)
Since fly ash is used as a cement substitute in many different concrete and grout mixes, it has positive environmental impacts. Of the 71 million tons of fly ash produced in 2004, about 40% of it was recycled by way of cement substitution and has the potential to save 10 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually (Portland Cement Association).
Case Study
Channel Tunnel Backfill Grouting in the UK (Gause)
When tunnels were constructed through the Lower Chalk Marl in the UK, there were many constraints on the grout used around the 20 mm gap between the concrete tunnels and the soil. The grout mix had to be pumped a long distance, but upon arrival at the construction location, must set quickly. Additionally, there was a lot of water in the soil which required the grout to be anti-washout and not bleed significantly. The grout also needed to gain a minimum 28 day strength of 8 MPa. After many tests, the ideal grout mix contained 50% Portland cement and 50% fly ash. It also contained superplasticizer and stabilizer to maintain pumpability and flowability. The large amount of fly ash was most likely used due to the excessively wet environment of placement. The anti-washout and anti-bleed properties were most likely met by the use of fly ash.
Blast Furnace Slag
Figure 11: Blast furnace slag (Portland Cement Association)
Ground-granulated blast furnace (GGBF) slag (ASTM C989) is a by-product of the production of iron. It requires an alkaline medium to initiate hydration. Slag does not require a high pH to activate, instead addition of portland cement will create formation of calcium silicate hydrate. Slag consists of silicates and aluminosilicates of calcium and other bases. Slag is classified into three grades. The properties can vary between sources, but are fairly consistent for a single source (Weaver, 2009).
Since use of slag in cement decreases the need to landfill large amounts of slag, up to 3 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions can be eliminated annually (Portland Cement Association).
Increases strength, flowability/pumpability and cohesion
Decreases permeability
It does not react or absorb large amounts of water like fly ash.
Sulfate resistance
Delay setting time and rate gain but can be counteracted with additives. Therefore, there is controllable set time.
Provides corrosion resistance
Strong bond to rock masses
Ability to immobilize heavy metals and other harmful substances
Low cost
No harm to the environment (Weaver, 2009)
Increased set time (Kaeck, 2009)
Ground granulated blastfurnace slag is being used in mining applications. Instead of disposing the large amounts of tailings (soils/waste removed from mines), this material can be made into a slurry and mixed with a small amount of cementitious material. This mixture can be used to fill parts of mines that are no longer in use. Slag is frequently used (mixed with Portland cement) as the cementitious binder in this mixture due to its ability to produce high strength, low permeability material as compared to Portland cement alone. The addition of slag can also increase homogeneity and increase strength gain of the mixture (Jefferis, 2012). Blast Furnace Slag has also been widely used in Poland on dam foundation treatment (Weaver, 2009).
Case Studies
Grouting of deep foundations at the Thames river bridge in Connecticut (Kaeck, 2009)
In 1918 a moveable bridge carrying carrying the Amtrak railroad over the Thames river was constructed. In 2006 work to expand the bridge caused significant movement of one of the piers when the new piles, located 20' from the existing 40' wide by 99' long caisson, were driven below the depth of the caisson. To stabilize the caisson, compaction grouting was first implemented but inclinometer data, shown in Figure 12, revealed that movement of the sand layer beneath the caisson was still occurring. Instead of compacting the sporadically dense sand, the grout was escaping into the overlying layer of organic silt. After compaction grouting failed, permeation grouting was used to stabilize the underlying sands. Because of the variability of the sand and the great depth, a typical cement grout would require too many boreholes due to inadequate permeation. Therefore, a commercially available blast furnace slag based cement with a maximum particle size of 10 microns and a Blaine Fineness greater than 900 cm2/gr was used. Because blast furnace slag delays the set time, which is a disadvantage for this application, a diutan gum blend was utilized to stabilize the grout during the 24 hour set time. It required approximately 270,000 gal of grout to initially stabilize the pier followed by an additional 350,000 gal to further stabilize the influence zone.
Figure 12: Pier movement vs. grouting progress (Kaeck, 2009)
Long Distance Tunnel Grouting (Ryan, 2003)
A water intake tunnel below the Niagara River was contaminated with organic wastes from a landfill. Because of this, regulatory authorities requested that the tunnel be grouted closed. This project was complicated due to the depth of the tunnel, the amount of grout that needed to be applied and the fact that water would not be removed from the tunnel before grouting.
Since the grout needed to travel 25 meters below the ground and up to 1600 meters along the tunnel, the mix needed to have a set time of more than 24 hours to allow significant amounts of grout to be in place before it begins to set. The required grout also needed to be able to easily displace water and set in a saturated environment. It was also required that the grout have low viscosity, a 28 day compressive strength of 100-200 kPa or greater and a permeability of 10-6 cm/s or less.
Many different grout mixes were tested to find the best option for this project. Variations of bentonite clay, fly ash, foam and slag were tested with Portland cement. In the end, a mix of 75% slag with 25% Portland cement, among other additives (including bentonite) was used. This grout easily displaced water and set under water in tests. It also had the desired strength (200-800 kPa) and permeability (10-6-10-7 cm/s). Finally, with the addition of slag, the mix had low viscosity, low bleed, and low shrinkage.
Silica Fume
Figure 13: Silica fume (Portland Cement Association)
Silica fume (ASTM C1240) is a by-product of the extraction of silicon or ferrosilicon manufacturing. The particles are composed of glassy spheres almost entirely made up of SiO2. The diameter of the particles ranges from about 0.1 to 0.15 micrometers and is generally condensed and precipitated to prevent the particles from going airborne. Silica fume can either be used as a replacement for cement within a grout mixture or as an additional component. As a substitution for cement typically only 4-10% by weight of cement is substituted (Weaver, 2007). Only small amounts of silica fume are substituted because it has been shown that 4-10% is the optimal amount to improve grout strength and elastic modulus. However, pumpability and strength are tradeoffs to grouts and especially important for silica fume since it does not greatly increase the strength of grout as a replacement for cement (Akbulut, 2003). Using silica fume as a partial replacement for cement can also be a good way to create a lighter weight material, for a given compressive strength, silica fume can replace approximately 3 to 4 times its weight of cement (Aitcin, 1984).
Using silica fume as an additive as opposed to a replacing agent, can significantly increase the strength and decrease the permeability of a cement grout. This is the product of the silica fume reacting with the lime released by the hydration of the cement and creating a "compact secondary CSH". In addition to increasing the strength and decreasing the permeability of a grout, this reaction increases the stability and decreases the threat of chemical attack (Aitcin, 1984). The use of varying amounts of condensed silica fume as an additive for a cement grout to increase strength can be seen below in Figure 14:
Figure 14: Comparison of compressive strength values for varying amounts of condensed silica fume (Aitcin, 1984)
Greatly reduces permeability due to the small particle size
Improves grout stability
Improves durability
Water resistance (Weaver, 2007)
Resistance to chlorine penetration (Portland Cement Association)
Improves pumpability (Henn, 2003)
Increases chemical resistance
Reacts rapidly for a pozzolanic material
Reduces and prevents lime leaching from the hydrated grout (Aitcin, 1984)
If added in a condensed form such as pellets, the pozzolanic reactivity is reduced and performance and efficiency of the grout is compromised (Weaver, 2007)
Expensive (Henn, 2003)
A superplasticizer may be required to counteract the increase in viscosity caused by partial replacement of cement with silica fume (Aitcin, 1984)
Due to its many advantages, listed above, silica fume as either an additive or a partial replacement for cement grouts, is applicable to many different construction applications. Because silica fume drastically increases the cohesive properties of a grout, it is an ideal additive for underwater grouts. The decreased permeability resulting from the use of a silica fume/cement grout makes it a useful additive for post-tensioning applications. Silica fume can also be an extremely useful additive to reduce or eliminate unwanted reactions in chemically harsh environments. The use of silica fume/cement grouts for oil well drilling applications slows or even stops gas leakage from the grouted well. Shotcrete, which is often used in underground applications such as tunnels and mining, also often uses a large quantity of silica fume to increase adhesion (Norchem, 2013).
Case Study
Compressed screw piles in British Columbia (Vickars, 2000)
In the 1990s in Vancouver, British Columbia, compression screw piles were grouted in soft, organic and unconsolidated soils. The use of grout around these piles improved the load capacity in the soft soils. Silica fume was used in the grout mix to minimize shrinkage, improve strength, improve corrosion protection of the piles, and bond well to the piles. The addition of silica fume also increased the density and flowability of the grout.
In one test site, an ungrouted pile driven to 15.8 m (52 ft) had a capacity of 169 kN while a grouted pile in the same location had a capacity of 320 kN driven to a depth of 13.7 m (45 ft). At the other test site, both grouted and ungrouted piles were driven to the same depth. However, the grouted pile had a capacity of 302 kN while the ungrouted pile had a capacity of 200 kN and the grouted pile deflected less at failure. In general, grouting improved the capacity of the piles at this site by about 60%.
There are many options for cement mix designs in grouting applications. This report only touches on a few key additives. Any number of these additives can be used to improve specific properties in grout mixes, but may impact other properties. When deciding to use a new method of cement grouting, many tests should be run to determine whether or not the grout meets the needs of the project. A summary of the primary advantages and applications of the cement additives discussed in this report are presented below in Table 1. As noted earlier, whether a specific property change is an advantage or disadvantage may often depend on the specific application.

of course, if Treasuries weren't available, they would put it all in a giant tower and go swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck.
nope. are you going to show me the money silos in Canada from when that government started to reduce its' expenditures?Or are you going to show me how the government is forcing people to buy debt at gun point?
hint: you don't actually intimidate anyone. you have 'being an asshole' confused with 'being correct'.Hint: It's time for you to flee.
and in the money silos!Want to explain to me how someone freely investing money is taking money out of the economy when that money wouldn't be used as evident by large cash amounts piling up collectively on corporate and individual balance sheets?
that's a good point. the government is far more likely to waste the money in the construction process than the company is to go completely belly up - especially if the United States makes sure that the taxpayers get protected.... oh, wait, that last bit didn't happen, did it?I've pointed this out before and you just run. And spending on things like bridges is hardly the same as a loan guarantee.
I brought up Solyndra because you are always insisting that if we just took money, ran it through government,and then let politicians allocate massive sums trying to pick out the winners in the alternative energies market that somehow that would lead us onward and upward into massive growth.
now watch - you're going to try to correct this by saying the exact same thing, but with positive descriptors. I'm going to point out the failed example of Spain and you are going to insist that Spain doesn't count because of some other outside factor. Because it's always some other outside factor that explains why keynesianism fails to produce the results it predicts. there is always an excuse. the belief remains adamantium-impervious to repeated historical experience.
don't worry OC. I'm sure you make way much more money than the guys who used to pick on you in High School. they're probably convenience-store attendants, still reliving their glory days. and lots of women say it doesn't even matter what size your penis is.Or do you not know what a loan guarantee is?
I find it amusing all you can do now is just snipe. I guess that's the expected outcome when I stripped you of your only argument before you could even make it.
It's a simplification to be sure - but accounting for the entire collection, management, procurement, disbursement, and every single worker's paycheck, benefits, office supplies along the way? before we even start working on things like environmental impact studies? I wouldn't be surprised to find out I missed the mark low.Furthermore, that $5 in expenses (grossly overexaggerated btw)
just like the Bush stimulus checks that saved us from an economic crash did. meanwhile, otherwise that money would have just sat in that ole money silo, being swam in.should actually create more than $5 in eventual activity as the money gets spent over and over again.
oh i get the theory. I just happen to know that due to the fact that it ignores that the money comes from somewhere, that it is bull.Really, I seriously doubt after all your posts you have any idea what a spending multiplier actually is.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Freshman Maria Auth (Street, Md.) registered her first career hat trick to help lead seventh-ranked Penn State past Duquesne, 19-9, this afternoon in non-conference women's lacrosse action from Rooney Field.
Duquense (0-1) opened the scoring as Jill Vacanti found the back of the net just 1:04 into the game before the Nittany Lions (4-0) used a 10-2 run including six straight goals from the 20:47 mark to the 10:32 mark for the 10-3 lead.
Senior Steph Lazo (Stevensville, Md.) collected five goals during this stretch including three straight in just a four-minute span from 14:33 to 10:32. Sophomore Madison Carter (Davidsonville, Md.) added two goals during this spurt while classmate Kelly Daggett (Bainbridge, Pa.) and freshman Kristin Roberto (Miller Place, N.Y.) and Auth collected the others.
Vacanti registered the final goal of the first half at the 2:56 mark before tipping the hat trick to open the second half with a score at 28:11 for the 10-5 score.
Daggett came right back for Penn State with a tally at 26:25 and just 19 seconds later junior Katie O'Donnell (West Chester, Pa.) registered her first of the contest for the 12-5 edge. Carter then added back-to-back scores and after another Vacanti tally, it was junior Maggie Gallagher (Bel Air, Md.) with two goals in just 57 seconds to hit running time at 16:54 with the 16-6 lead.
Auth then potted her second of the game at the 14:59 mark and sophomore Kayla Brisolari (Crofton, Md.) added a score of her own at 9:29 before the Dukes scored three in-a-row to stop running time at the 1:38 mark. However, just 22 seconds later Auth secured her first career hat trick for the 19-9 final.
Senior Cat Rainone (Newtown Square, Pa.) stopped five shots to improve to 3-0 on the season.
Penn State held the 35-19 advantage in shots including the 29-14 edge on target while also controlling the draw (20-10) and going 17-for-19 on clears. The Dukes held the slim 16-14 edge in ground balls and the 13-12 margin in caused turnovers.
Carter paced the squad with five draws while Gallagher collected four. Senior Natalie Schmitt (Malvern, Pa.) was solid on defense all afternoon causing a game-high four turnovers and collecting three ground balls.
The Nittany Lions return to action as they look for their best start in 24 years when they travel to Cornell for a 1 p.m. affair on Saturday.

PANIC STATIONS: Secret plan to WALL OFF Europe if Turkey unleashes '3m migrant tsunami'
The paper reported: "If Turkey, as its leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened yesterday, opens the border for refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries that are on its territory…the Serbian government has prepared a 'plan B'.
"It will be activated and a proposal will be discussed for our country, just like our neighbours, to build a wall on its southern borders."
Serbia – which is not an EU member – is a vital transit point on the migrant journey northwards from Greece towards the promised lands of Germany and Sweden.
But as neighbouring countries including Hungary to the north have taken an increasingly tough stance on immigration, putting up their own border fences, more and more refugees have become trapped there.

Hospital Role Play in Preschool
The children in preschool have been very busy creating their chosen role play area, they voted between a shoe shop and a hospital and the majority of the children chose a hospital. They then created a mind map of all the resources they thought they would need for the hospital and helped the staff to find all these resources. The children have been exploring x-ray's of different body parts and how to use the different equipment. They have enjoyed making each other better with bandages and listening to each other's heart beats.

Frank Hoffmaster, 36, who lives near 9th and Division streets in Davenport, was making pancakes Wednesday morning when he heard the screeching of tires.
He started taping with his cellphone, capturing an officer-involved shooting of a motorist. The 24-second video, which was provided to the Quad-City Times, does not show the events leading up to the shooting.
The Scott County Sheriff's Office said the incident began as a report of reckless driving, and the driver is in critical condition at University Hospitals, Iowa City. The names of the driver and the Davenport police officer involved were not released Wednesday afternoon. The officer has been placed on administrative leave per department policy. The case is being investigated by the Sheriff's Office and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
According to the sheriff's office:
Around 10:44 a.m. Wednesday, Davenport police responded to a report of a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run in the 600 block of North Division Street.
The vehicle struck two vehicles on West 6th Street just east of Division Street. An officer attempted to interact with vehicle, which fled through a residential yard onto North Division Street and struck a building on the northwest side of 6th and Division streets. The vehicle then struck a third vehicle before continuing to drive northbound on Division Street.
Officers attempted to apprehend the driver at the intersection of North Division and West 9th Street. The incident escalated and an officer fired two rounds.
The driver was taken to Genesis Medical Center-East Rusholme Street, Davenport, and was later airlifted to Iowa City. No other information was released Wednesday. Davenport Police Major Jeff Bladel told reporters officers were canvassing the area to determine if there was additional property damage or any other injuries.
Division Street between 6th and 12th streets was closed for much of the day as officers investigated.
Hoffmaster, originally from San Diego, said he moved to the area in January and is the owner of 3-D Skin Lab on Harrison Street.
He said the incident Wednesday did not scare him, but "it definitely raises our guard, for sure."
"Everyone said the neighborhood was pretty wild, but now we got to kind of witness it first-hand," he said.
This is the second shooting directly involving a Davenport police officer this year.
John Michael Hess, 43, was shot in the ankle by Officer Brandon Askew early in the 2100 block of Grand Avenue after police received a call that he was armed with a firearm and walking toward a woman's home to possibly harm her. Police say Askew confronted Hess, who reached into his rear waist line, pulled out a gun and raised it toward the officer. Once on the ground, Hess was run over by Askew's squad car, which was not placed into park when he got out of the vehicle, according to police.
Hess was later arrested on charges of possession of firearm or offensive weapon by a domestic violence offender, going armed with intent, carrying weapons, fourth-degree theft, and assault on persons engaged in certain occupations.
He remained in the Scott County Jail on Wednesday.
Scott County Attorney Mike Walton on March 29 announced Askew acted properly and his use of force was "reasonable under the circumstances."

My head was full of many things. I took a bus ride to let them run through.
A young man got on at Albany Street. He knotted his vertically striped scarf in the 90s way of two ends fed through the loop end. He looked like a student. I always wanted to live in the cream houses round the edge of Regent's Park. Wide pavements of flagstones, smooth and beautiful. Looking out over peaceful landscaped gardens.
I love to walk in the park from Regent's Canal to Great Portland Street. Especially in the rain with a large black umbrella. Like a Renoir painting. Grand days of pursuits before leisure and hobbies like shopping.
You smoked a cigar and looked pleased as punch rolling it in your fingers and puffing on it like a fat cat. Afterwards we walked - through to Covent Garden and Leicester Square, down Lower Regent Street. Searching for excitement as all the places chucked out. Eventually ending up in St James' Park and paddled under a weeping willow.
Today is a day when I used to go driving. Sitting in the car listening to music worth driving to, touring the city - empty streets of Smithfield, Moorgate and Bank. Bridges. Roundabouts. In the early hours. Just driving. Today I've got the itchy feet of the bored. Good day for the long open roads of California, deserts, wide skies and nobody.
And finally when my head is empty I sit on a bus going home. Passing the familiar. Just looking without thinking. Someone peels an orange and eats it. It smells lovely, citric and fresh. A woman is asleep with her chin resting on her chest, snoring. Outside a newsagents the evening standard's grabbing headline is Murder of a Family - first pictures. Will we never tire in our quest for the sensational. I can't believe what the headline actually says. Does anyone want to see that stuff really? Bright yellow patent leather stilettos with huge black heels.
The world suddenly feels small. I must DO something this weekend.
I feel reflective in two senses - analysing situations, thinking things, and mirrored, if I reflect back the world around me it will find me invisible because all it will see is itself.

ACA II Weekly Newsletter 11-7-17
For the next nine weeks, we would like to share a little more information about our nine ACA II Graduate Goals. These goals have been around as long as ACA II and all of our students work toward leaving ACA II after 8th grade with these skills. The skills included in these goals are important to success in our students' later academic studies, as well as the workplace. Each level works hard to practice all nine goals.
Thank you to WASC Volunteers!
Thank you to all of the parents to came to 2nd Cup and heard about our WASC goals for the next six years. For the next WASC cycle, we will be focusing on providing our own special education services, creating a system to monitor student progress, and updating our graduate goals. We will also be looking to update our facilities as part of our future plans.
An additional thank you to all of the family members that volunteered to help edit our document! Please be sure to send back the edited packets to school by this Thursday. They can be turned into Mrs. McCutcheon or Miss Dubitsky.

It's officially July, and all across the nation Americans will soon be popping fireworks and grilling with their families to celebrate American freedom (if they aren't already). In the South especially, any patriotic holiday is celebrated enthusiastically, and rightly so. We have so much to be thankful for. Independence Day is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the bravery of our founding fathers, the bravery of soldiers who have defended our freedom for the past 241 years and will continue to do so, and the progress that we have made, no matter how slowly, throughout that time. Coming from a family of veterans, I fully understand and appreciate the sacrifice of anyone who has served in the military and am grateful for this sacrifice. Freedom isn't free, even if we (meaning I) didn't pay for it.
That being said, lately, I have been thinking a lot about what this freedom is, how I view it, and what it means for my hopes and dreams of the future. I've also been thinking a lot about the "American Dream" and how it intersects with my faith. Well, let me clarify. How really, it has no place in my faith. I know many of my close family and friends are going to raise an eyebrow at that statement. I'm not saying that we shouldn't celebrate freedom, veterans or any of those things. I'm proud to live in the U.S., and I hope that everyone celebrates freedom and those who protect it. What I'm saying is we need to stop getting so caught up in materialism, success, and comparing ourselves to the societal ideals that seem to have slowly mutated what it means to be an American.
My whole life I have grown up with an idea of what my life should look like. I always knew I would go to college, and that I was expected to succeed. I knew I would eventually get married, and I know that one day I will have children. I knew that to be considered "successful" I needed to get a high-salary job, own a beautiful house and car, and all the other material things that go with it. I felt like in order to be "successful," I needed to make as much money as possible, and make my life look as easy as possible. If I had to describe what I wanted my life to look like, it would probably sound like a combination of Coca-Cola commercials. In particular, I pictured my life to be a combination of the really cute Coke Life ad from Argentina where an adorable married couple has a baby and the "Eyes Closed" commercial (both after this paragraph for reference) where my life is full of moments so awesome I close my eyes because what comes next has to be mind blowing to beat where I'm already at.
Links to Coca-Cola Commercials:
There is nothing wrong with wanting to seize life and be happy. There is something wrong with being so caught up in what you don't have that you forget to be thankful for what you do have.
It would be easy for every to say my family forced that silly idea on me. That would be untrue. My family has always taught me to be thankful for what you have, and give to the person less fortunate than you. They've taught me that it doesn't matter how much money you make so long as you have Jesus and you can provide for your family.
So where do we get stuck, even when our parents aren't materialistic and don't teach us to be that way either? Sin. We hear whispers telling us our worth depends on our success. We are bombarded with lies that tell us we need money and a huge, perfectly decorated home to be happy. We compare our lives to those of our friends and family when we scroll through Facebook or Instagram and allow ourselves to feel like we are failing when we aren't wearing designer makeup or clothes, buying a new house, or getting married or having babies, and forget that they are comparing themselves too. In my opinion, comparison is one of Satan's most useful tools because it causes us to take our eyes off of Jesus and forget our worth. It also prevents us from loving one another and rejoicing with each other during the ups and downs of our lives. We worry and perseverate over all of this material "stuff" and forget that we have everything we need in Christ.
I have been thinking a lot about this. Jesus was not concerned about being a home owner, having a perfect life and being comfortable. He came to save our souls. Luke 9:57-58 says, "As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, 'I will follow you wherever you go.' Jesus replied, 'Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.'" Jesus did not even have somewhere to sleep and he is the son of God. And as we learn later, the man doesn't follow Jesus. And in truth, when we allow ourselves to get so caught up in the "American Dream," comparing ourselves to others and striving to be the world's idea of "successful," we are not following Jesus either. Why aren't we living below our means and using the rest to help others? Why do we only give Jesus a measly ten percent while we hoard things that don't even matter? Why do we give our filthy leftovers to a holy, all-powerful, loving God? Why?
I'm as guilty as the next person, and it is something I struggle with and pray about daily. Knowing this, especially when my bank account is down to double digits and I'm sad that I can't afford to drive home or go on vacation, I feel even more guilt because at least I'm safe, I'm not hungry or thirsty, and I don't have to worry too much if I get sick or injured. I feel ashamed because while I know that Jesus is in my heart and that I am praying daily to be filled with His Holy Spirit, I haven't really had to give up much for my faith. I am grateful for the freedom to worship God and Jesus freely that we celebrate here in America. However, living in such a comfortable environment makes me feel as though I am not doing enough for Jesus or sacrificing in the ways that He meant for us to do. In Luke 9:23, Jesus says, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." In the book, Not A Fan., Kyle Idleman states, "And here's the question that keeps me up at night: Am I really carrying a cross if there is no suffering and sacrifice?" I recently bought the book "I Am N" by the Voice of the Martyrs. I haven't even read this book yet and my heart is already broken for our brothers and sisters in these nations. I can't help but feel like my faith is so cheap when I compare it to all the things that they give up to be followers of Jesus. If our lives were swapped, would I be willing and dedicated like they are? Would I be willing to give up my family, my home, my health, even my life if I were living in such a hostile environment? If I'm being honest, I'm a little afraid to read this book because I know that I will be confronted with the reality that I don't know what it means to give up everything for Jesus.
I'm not writing this to make anyone feel guilty; I'm writing this from a place of my own guilt. While I will be eating watermelon, grilling burgers and watching fireworks to celebrate all the many freedoms I have been provided, across the globe people are serving Jesus in the face of discrimination, torture, and death. I just couldn't help but think about these things, and how much I truly take for granted.
In conclusion, I hope that all of you have a safe and happy Independence Day. I hope you enjoy all the fun things we associate with the 4th of July, but don't forget how fortunate we are in America. Don't forget those who served, fought, and died for the freedoms we have, and don't forget about those across the world that don't have the freedom and security to serve Jesus that we do.
Happy Independence Day! Stay safe!

Look, folks, I don't go hunting around for this stuff - really, I don't. For whatever reason, stupid things that piss me off just seem to FIND me wherever I go. I can't walk around the corner without something totally irritating leaping out at me: Misused apostrophes! Bureaucratic ignorance! Every Day Math Home Links!!! But this latest one? This one got me but GOOD.
After a week of slaving in the salt mines, I came home and found myself with an unexpectedly kid-free half hour. So, being the loving mother and helpmeet and responsible adult that I am not, I made a beeline for the computer and logged onto Wastebook to fritter away my time laughing at memes and posting snarky comments. A friend of mine, who is dear and sweet and one of the kindest, nicest people I've ever met, posted this:
So much for my half hour of frivolous fun.
This sign pisses me off on soooooooo many levels, it's hard to know where to begin. Oh, I know! We'll start with the presumption that only those people who believe in God can be:
a) patriotic
b) loyal to their country
c) allowed to express their views
d) allowed to live in this country.
Congratulations, those of you who "liked" this sentiment. You have now definitively proven that YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE PHILOSOPHY UPON WHICH THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED. To wit, that individuals should have the right to freedom in matters of conscience, INCLUDING religion. There's this whole STATEMENT to that effect; it's called the FIRST AMENDMENT, and it goes something like this:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I put the relevant part in bold for you, and if you still don't get the message, let me make it clear: Our founders specifically did NOT want to create a religious litmus test for civic participation. They did NOT intend for us conflate loyalty to our country with a specific belief in God. They did NOT want the government telling its citizens what to believe, or how to express their belief; and they CERTAINLY did NOT want us imposing our religious views on ONE ANOTHER!!! And whether those of you who do believe in God like it or not, you just have to accept that NOT believing in God does not ipso facto disqualify those of us who don't from being "truly" American. The founders understood, even if we don't, that it is only a very small step from being a religious state to having a state religion. The founders understood, even if we don't, that they could only be secure in their right to be Quakers or Methodists or Presbyterians or deists or agnostics (or by extension, Muslims or Buddhists or Baha'i or atheists) if the government protected EVERYONE'S right to be Quakers or Buddhists or atheists. [For those of you who want to trot out the tired old argument that the founders were Christians, please, go do even the most rudimentary research on our founders. A lot of them held beliefs that would send any garden-variety evangelical Protestant screaming for the hills. And if you're going to go down the original-intent path, well, then, you'd better revive some of those old prejudices about Catholics and Jews and women voting in elections, because you don't get to cherry pick just the parts of history that fit your argument, mmmkay?]
This sign pisses me off on a personal level as well. Who died and left these people in charge of deciding who qualified for citizenship? I do not spend my professional career trying to drum some understanding and appreciation of our government and its history into kids' heads so I can come home and be told that I am not really a true American. I do not pay taxes, vote in elections, and contribute my time and energy to civic pursuits so that I can be considered less deserving of full citizenship since I happen to have a different personal belief system. It was not so long ago that Franklin Delano Roosevelt justified American nonintervention in World War II by the fact that "only" Jews and Catholics were affected. It was not so long ago that John F. Kennedy had to defend his candidacy for President against charges that, as a Catholic, he would be more loyal to the Pope than the Constitution. And it was definitely not so long ago that a practicing Muslim who happened to be elected to Congress ignited a firestorm of controversy because he wanted to take the oath of office on a Koran and not the Bible (you'd think the religious right would be sympathetic to his wanting to recognize his faith, but no).
In the final analysis, here's what really burns my cheese about this sign and others of its ilk: As a card-carrying believer in rule of law, the Constitution, and the American way, I would be absolutely incensed if the adherents of any one religion were told they were not somehow "fully" American because of their faith. However, it seems to be perfectly socially acceptable - even praiseworthy, in some circles - for certain religious adherents to imply such things about ME because of my absence of faith. Tell you what, why don't YOU bite MY ass and just leave? There are any number of places you can go where practicing religion has been not just expected, but strictly enforced - such as Saudi Arabia. Or Jonestown. Then you can come up with a new clever saying for Maxine to entertain us all with. I can't wait to see it.

Usually billboards are boring, and last week's Mediacy presentation showed us great new ways to approach out-of-home advertising.
However, Switzerland's mountain resort 'Braunwald' (car-free!) launched a new billboard campaign (from BBDO) that engages on more than just a visual level.
Essentially, the posters are covered in bubble wrap. The bubbles are filled with clean air. Thus, when you pop them, you release wonderful clean mountain air participating in a positive environmental breathing experience.

Soulful singer Sa'Rayah, a contender on NBC's "The Voice," said she has learned to respond to challenges "with only love and light."
Saved by coach Alicia Keys on the television show, the Country Club Hills resident said she knows something about adversity.
The 28-year-old single mom makes no secret of her past. Her bio states that she was raised in the Cabrini Green public housing complex in Chicago by a mother who struggled with drug addiction. Now, the singer said, she's going through a divorce while raising her daughter —2-year-old Nylah — and building her career.
She will appear on the show again at 7 p.m. Monday.
"I feel really good about this," she said Tuesday from Los Angeles. "If 'excited' is a 10, I'm on 20."
And she recognizes that her past has brought her to where she is now, she said.
"I feel like as artists, everything that we've experienced in life and the hard work and times are what make us what we are," she said. "Those things make us go hard on stage. They craft and shape our presence."
She talks about her experience on the long-running reality music show in terms of blessings and opportunities.
She praised the team atmosphere behind the scenes and said that Keys "is a warm and heartfelt person" to work with, but Sa'Rayah said she also has "experienced the negative side of things."
In particular, Sa'Rayah said, she was dealt a great deal of public criticism after beating teammate Michael Sanchez in a knockout round Oct. 31. After the broadcast, fans of Sanchez took to the message boards and comments sections of the web to express their disappointment and disagreement with the outcome. According to Sa'Rayah, though, some of the comments crossed a line. She said people posted messages attacking her appearance and racial identity.
"You will always have moments and times when people don't like what you do. I get that," Sa'Rayah said. "But when hate is being thrown your way, you conquer that with love. If you know how to turn things around and work it for the good, you can have more impact on the minds of the people watching your journey happen. Hatred should provoke you to step up and do something to cause people to be inspired."
Sa'Rayah's response was, in her own words, to start a movement. She launched the #LoveONLY campaign to combat "cyberbullying and bullying of any kind," she said, and is even selling shirts featuring the hashtag and her signature.
In the coming weeks, the competition will tighten up, and audience votes will eventually bring the 12 contestants down to just one.
Whether Sa'Rayah makes it to the end of "The Voice" or not, she said she knows this is only "the beginning of a dream come true."
"When this is done, I'm going to put out an album, and I'm going to stay visible by performing live. That's my way of spreading the movement of love and light," she said. "This is my purpose, and this is my way of doing what I was meant to do."

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the rapidly increasing level of scientific and technological developments, environmental pollution continues to be a major issue of concern for both developed and under-developed countries. However, in order to protect our natural environment and, in particular, to preserve the ability of the environment to adequately support human life, the need for on-going research and monitoring of known and potential environmental pollutants is ever so important. Notably, the research directed towards the assessment of the impact of human activities on the environment is fundamental for developing acceptable processes that are necessary for achieving a true environmental sustainability. Among these are processes and activities that are devoted to the characterization and monitoring of the quality of the environment in its various forms, as well as for better identification of possible risks of harmful effect on human health and the environment. The contributions in this issue will focus on research devoted to gaining a better understanding of the extent of distribution, ecological effects, risks and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants, as well as those directed towards finding solutions to abate these problems.Prof. Dr. Samuel B. Adeloju

The 1960s contemporary, with walls of glass centering on canyon, city and ocean views, originally came to market in April at $4.375 million and was more recently priced at $3.25 million. Zito bought the property in 2010 for $2.155 million, records show.
An open-space floor plan of 4,366 square feet features double-height interiors with a chef's kitchen and a step-down living room with a wet bar. The top-floor master suite, one of four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, is outfitted with three closets, a two-person steam shower and a fireplace.
Long terraces lined in glass flank each level of the home while a hot tub sits off of the master suite.
Josh and Matthew Altman of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, were the listing agents. Nathaniel Smith, also of Hilton & Hyland, represented the buyer in the sale.
Last month, Zito sold a home on Sunset Plaza Drive, which features, among other things, a hillside pitching mound, for $3.375 million. Still on the market is the free agent pitcher's Kentfield estate, which is currently priced at $8.995 million.
Zito, 36, is aiming return to the mound in 2015 after sitting out last season. The 2002

In case you usually straighten your hair using hair straighteners like flat iron, then you will need to use a clarifying shampoo to eliminate the residue of any chemical on your hair. Also, use a great conditioner to deeply situation your hair.

Nobody plans to get sick or hurt, however most individuals need medical care – like a health care provider visit, a prescription drug, a lab check, physical remedy, or counseling – at some point. These providers may be expensive. Baba ghanoush: Charcoal-grilled eggplant mixed with olive oil, tahini, crushed garlic and lemon juice. It's served as appetizer with pita bread for dipping or as a side dish. It is very rich and may solely be eaten in small portions.

"Happy f'ing holidays y'all!" and "Please use protection while preparing a pomegranate"
BFF! Huey and Minnie
The elusive Hobo
Hey kids! My schedule changed and I actually had the day off today. I'm off next Monday as well. Next Monday will be the only day I have off until Christmas day. Ouch! Work is just dandy as well. Gotta love retail at Christmas time. I can't wait until it's over. It's going to be a long month.
It's cold outside and snowing. It's sticking this time too. Winter is officially here.
I ran a few errands today, but basically stayed at home. I cranked out 47 Christmas cards today. I don't think I've ever gotten them done this early. Today was my best opportunity to get stuff done. After this post I'll wrap some presents. I'd say that I've got about 90% of my Christmas shopping done. That's a record for me too. I'd say that I did about 80% of my Christmas shopping online this year. It's so much easier and there's so much stuff available. No lines, no shoving, no annoying Christmas music in the background. I've got Amazon Prime which means that I get free 2-day shipping (for a reasonable yearly fee). It's more than paid for itself. The only stuff I don't/won't buy on line are CDs, but I actually didn't buy too many as gifts this year. I listened to the "Best of Luna" 2-CD Import Only that I picked up at Glen's store the other day. Awesome CDs! The disc of covers is very cool! Huey and Minnie, the dogs from upstairs, hung out with me for most of the day. It was a nice relaxing day. I took a few pics because it's been a while since I have. I had one picture of Huey, Minnie, and Hobo (the cat) all together but I accidentally erased it. I was able to get some pics of Hobo though. She doesn't hang out downstairs too often. She's pretty funny. She calls all the shots. It was a decent day off. Tomorrow will not be so kind...
This whole West Dearborn development thing is a real fiasco. The paid parking plan is a miserable failure (people are avoiding paid lots and no one is using the parking structures). To make matters worse it's rumored that Moe's Southwest Grill and the Post Bar are closing. (I will not reveal my sources.) The Subway closed, but that was for lease reasons and they hope to move. I doubt that Dearborn will ever become the Birmingham or Royal Oak the mayor and city council expect it to be. I think that Dearborn may be the new Detroit (as far population decline and closed businesses are concerned). It's not looking good. There are still about 1000 houses for sale in this city...and they're not selling. Obviously the economy is not just bad in Dearborn, but the rest of the state as well. It feels like ground zero of an economic disaster though. It's not pretty...
I was in BST's car last week with BST (obviously) and Julie and we noted the horrid driving habits of an individual driving a Chrysler PT Cruiser. I've since had two more encounters with PT Cruisers that have made me determine that anyone who drives a PT Cruiser is an asshole. I think that most of the drivers are also having some sort of mid-life crisis. They buy a vehicle that they think looks cool and makes them look cool, while in reality they look like like a bunch of douche bags. The PT Cruiser is an ugly car...realize it. And stop driving like idiots before you cause another 1955 Le Mans disaster...
Pomegranates are in season so I bought a couple last week. I was cutting one open and spooning out the delicious seeds while apparently not paying attention to anything else. I happily munched on my seeds in the living room while watching TV and then returned to the kitchen to discover a bloody murder scene. There was pomegranate juice EVERYWHERE! It looked as if someone had bludgeoned a body repeatedly with a pick-axe. It was splattered on the counter, the floor, the cupboards, my T-shirt, and the microwave. WTF?!? It took me a while to clean it up. CSI would be impressed with the splatter and range. Please, please be careful when preparing your pomegranate...it could be messy. And don't ever scoop out a pomegranate in a white kitchen.
Good news! I'm going to New York again this January for a couple days. I've been invited to Manhattan again for an Aussie reunion. There will be no black tie dinner this year, but we're invited to a dinner. The mega cool Wine Australia is paying for our hotel and inviting us to dinner as long as I pour at a tasting for them and pay my own way to New York. I already booked tickets. I'm looking forward to it. I hope that some of the others from my group show up again. I love New York and it's even better with friends. I don't have much free time unless I add an extra day, but I'll try to get at least one good meal in. Maybe DB Bistro Moderne???

Lloyds could fail the Bank of England's stress tests this Autumn and be banned from paying out a dividend this year, analysts at Macquarie warned yesterday.
The bank has hiked its capital ratios over the past year and so is not expected to be forced to issue any more bonds or shares to bolster its buffers.
But analysts believe regulators could use the tests to make Lloyds postpone its planned first payout to shareholders since the financial crash.
"Whilst its strong capital generation means that it is unlikely to be required to raise capital, we suspect that the restart of dividend payments will be delayed again," said analyst Edward Firth.
The stress test takes the big banks' finances and subjects them to a fictional scenario in which UK house prices dive by 35 per cent.
This is particularly tough on Lloyds, the UK's largest mortgage lender.
The bank is thought to be confident it will pass the tests – although the test is based on the bank's finances at the end of 2013, since then Lloyds has pushed its core tier one capital buffer up to 11.1 per cent.
That is stronger than most of its rivals and, and should give it enough room to stay above the 4.5 per cent limit even in the stressed scenario.
Lloyds wants to pay a dividend for 2014, and the landmark would represent a major stage in its recovery form the financial crash.
Analyst Ian Gordon from Investec believes if Lloyds progress cautiously it will be allowed to pay a dividend.
"My forecast is for a small token dividend of 1p for 2014, before building to a 50 per cent payout ratio two years out," Gordon told City A.M.

From the classic rock of Humble Pie to a strong Americana troupe and a genre-defying progressive rock outfit, today's post has a bit of something for everybody...
Bonus disc of live performance
Deadline Music will release a special 2-CD Humble Pie collection which packages the complete records ON TO VICTORY and GO FOR THE THROAT with a bonus disc of live material recorded in 1981.
Formed in the UK in 1968, Humble Pie was a compilation of extraordinary talent (such as Peter Frampton) that uniquely bridged the gaps between hard rock, prog rock, blues, and soul. Fronted by guitar player and singer Steve Marriott, the early '80s Humble Pie represented in these discs also included drummer Jerry Shirley (later of Fastway), guitarist Bobby Tench (from The Jeff Beck Group) and bassist Anthony "Sooty" Jones. ON TO VICTORY, released in 1980, featured the Billboard Hot 100 hit "Fool for a Pretty Face." They toured with Ted Nugent and Aerosmith before quickly releasing GO FOR THE THROAT in 1981. The group went through a few different lineup changes, breakups, and reformations until the untimely passing of Steve Marriott in 1991.
In addition to "Fool for a Pretty Face," fan favorites like "Infatuation" and "Teenage Anxiety" are featured. This unique package also includes full liner notes and rare photos. The bonus disc is an electrifying concert recorded in Los Angeles in 1981.
ON TO VICTORY/GO FOR THE THROAT DELUXE EDITION will be available on iTunes, amazon.com, and at your favorite record store. The 2-disk digipak is $18.98. Additionally, CALIFORNIA '81 is available on vinyl.

The Steel Wheels tie an assortment of roots music elements together with their latest release Lay Down, Lay Low. From the a cappella number "Rain in the Valley" which saw a video premiere on American Songwriter, to the fetching "Breaking Like The Sun", The Steel Wheels prove to stamp themselves in roots music. Lay Down, Lay Low, their follow up full length to Red Wing, is available now. Lay Down, Lay Low also gained momentum on the Americana Airplay Chart as the second most added album this week.
Whether belting out an original song in the shadow of the Rockies, taking one of their fiddle tunes for a ride in Austin or speaking to the soul with a bittersweet ballad in Vermont, The Steel Wheels are making fans of audiences with every fire-in-the-belly performance across North America. Lay Down, Lay Low reveals both light and shadow, providing a musical landscape for songs that chronicle and celebrate the good struggle. The album is built on the chemistry of the band members and sensitive, inspired instrumentation. Lead vocals from multi-instrumentalist Trent Wagler soar and find perfect complements in supporting vocals from mandolin and guitar player Jay Lapp, with bass player Brian Dickel and fiddler Eric Brubaker joining for heart-stopping harmonies.
Lay Down, Lay Low is the strong follow-up to Red Wing, which ranked in the Americana Music Association's Top 100 Americana Albums of the Year in 2010 after spending thirteen weeks on the Top 40 AMA radio charts and, notably, landing as the second-highest ranked album of all independent releases that year. Red Wing also cracked the EuroAmericana Top 10 chart and racked up five Independent Music Awards nominations, winning the Best Song category. Additionally, they have already seen an appearance on the critically acclaimed Mountain Stage. Lay Down, Lay Low establishes the staying power of The Steel Wheels within the wide-armed Americana family. Find them at Merlefest 2012, at Chicago's Old Town School of Folk Music in April and at festivals and venues throughout the United States and Canada this year.

Anathema Premiere "Untouchable, part 1" On PopMatters
Weather Systems Out April 24th On The End Records
Anathema will return in April with Weather Systems, their brand new studio album.
Weather Systems is the follow-up to 2010's We're Here Because We're Here, which has been featured prominently in numerous end-of-year polls and the producer, Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has described it as ''definitely among the best albums I've ever had the pleasure to work on.''
The bar for Weather Systems has been set pretty high, but Daniel Cavanagh from the band is certain that the album will exceed these lofty expectations, stating, "it feels like we are at a creative peak right now, and this album reflects that. Everything from the production to the writing to the performances are a step up from our last album."
He continues, "This is not background music for parties. The music is written to deeply move the listener, to uplift or take the listener to the coldest depths of the soul."
The intertwining melodic structures of these profoundly beautiful songs are intensely powerful, yet simple. These are songs that will transport the listener closer to the heart of life, that is to say, to the heart of themselves.
It is also an album of polarity. The play of opposites; light and shade, birth and death, love and fear. The simple truths of life and loss, hope and strength and darker internal themes are all explored here.
The album was recorded in Liverpool, North Wales and Oslo, each place significant to Anathema past, present and future. The record was produced and mastered by 5 times Norwegian Grammy nominated Christer-André Cederberg (Animal Alpha, In the Woods..., Drawn), who Daniel has described as "a revelation. His calmness and brilliance has helped to bring about the greatest inter-band chemistry that Anathema have experienced together in their career."
This career stretches back to 1990 when the band formed in Liverpool. Since then the band have embarked on a remarkable musical journey, initially emerging as pioneers of melodic heavy music and continually evolving over the ensuing years, always remaining true to their original goal of creating forward thinking, meaningful, passionate and honest music.
Anathema are a collective of two families; brothers and childhood friends. This album will please fans who call for more of Lee Douglas' vocals, as her role within Anathema's brand of alternative, melodic rock has matured to become an integral energy. In this way and more, Weather Systems is the sound of a band finding their voice and growing in stature, moving further along their artistic path with a truly stunning musical vision.
Their best ever work? "Not yet" says Daniel, but he does believe that with Weather Systems they have surpassed previous glories; "we are pleased and proud of the record and we feel that, alongside the best moments of WHBWH, this record contains our very best work so far in what is becoming a long career."
Weather Systems will be available on The End Records on April 24, 2012.

Today was orientation day at the kids school. We got to meet the teachers and see old friends (I think I looked forward to it more than the kids.Sad I know but most of my friends come to me as moms of their friends. I love you guys!) However this means I had to actually roll out of bed before 9am, (which I didn't. I hit the snooze for over an hour, rolling over periodically and mumbling "I don't wanna wake up") AND make my self presentable. After surviving (just barely) 3 months with all four of my children I have let certain things go:
- House
- Car
- Social life
- Legs
- Bikini area
- Eyebrows
- Toe nails
It has two tubes, one is the Nair and one a moisturizer. I separated the two , lest there be any confusion or Doodle get a hold of it (since he likes going through my stuff, and there have been several times he has painted his face or other things with my makeup.) I grabbed the tube that was on the counter , took a Q-Tip and carefully applied the cream, and jumped in the shower to work on number 4. I waited 5minutes before taking a wash cloth and wiping off the cream. I expected to find my fur coming off in clumps... it didn't. GRRR! I thought I hadn't left it on long enough or put enough on. Whatever happened didn't matter, I was still looking like Bert from Sesame Street. My only choice now was to speed pluck, and it hurt like a muthafuka. They looked good enough not to be mistaken for a Furby but now they were swollen. When I went to put on my deodorant on I saw the other tube. Thinking it was the moisturizer I slathered a THICK layer to help with the pain. Then I noticed the smell.......
David who was in the shower washing off the stay at home dad smell , was worried. I don't remember his words because I was too busy screaming enough F bombs to blow up the town and hovering over the sink frantically splashing water on my face and rubbing soap in my eyes. When I came up for air I heard him guessing what had happened, after a few no, no, HELL No's I had calmed down enough to tell him. He busted out laughing (this part might be offensive, we would never say this in public) He said and I quote "HAHAHA You would look like a cancer patient with no eyebrows, I would have to introduce you and say' This is my wife, she has no eyebrows because she is a cancer patient'". Terrible I know but what I said was worse" NO! That's terrible. You should tell people (imagine the scene from 'Borat' where he is taking a class on how to tell a joke) My wife..uh.. she uh... have a funny..uh..retardation'"
More laughing. He said while we were at the school my eyebrows would peel off like a sticker, and I would have to draw my eyebrows on, like this:
this if I were more creative:
or face looking like this:
Thankfully I was able to wash the Nair off in time to avoid ANY of the terrible things pictured or mentioned above.Yes, I may have been temporarily blind from the BB&W hand soap I rubbed in my eyes.. but I NAIRoly (hehe) avoided sharpie eyebrows. And this is why I am an idiot, ........this time.

Reviews and feedback from clients are very important to. See what past clients have to say about Allison below!
Out of State Buyer - Leah and Jeff G.
When my husband and I decided that we wanted to purchase a condo in the Phoenix, Arizona area, I began to look on the internet. Because we live in the Columbus, Ohio area, we needed a real estate agent we could trust to find us the space we needed in an area we would be comfortable living. Allison Nguyen of Arizona Cornerstone Realty was able to find a condo in a neighborhood that is convenient for us, as well as perfect for the times we visit the area. While we remained in Ohio, she facilitated the financing, inspections and closing documents. We bought a condo with her help and actually closed the real estate purchase before we visited! She helped us every step of the way, and was very prompt in answering any questions we had. I highly recommend working with Allison Nguyen whether selling or purchasing a home! - Leah and Jeff
Buyer - Jennifer W.
Allison was a superb realtor. Not only was I in a time crunch to find a property within my budget and desired location, but I was also a first-time buyer with many questions. She explained the entire process with me, was always available to answer any questions I might have, and worked very closely with my mortgage broker to finalize my purchase with ease. She asked very pointed questions when viewing some of the early properties to see what features within the house were the most important to me. This allowed her to find properties that really fit my desired parameters. She made the process of me buying a house, which can be very stressful at times, a very smooth process. I would definitely recommend her to someone looking for a realtor.
Seller - Allen N.
Allison helped me sell my property at the price I wanted - and swiftly! Her expertise in the real estate market helped deliver the results I was looking for. I definitely would have her handle all of my real estate needs.

The cast of Glee were snapped filming new scenes for an upcoming episode of the show and it was spoilerishly revealed that the William McKinley High School football team is going to get a new member!
So as not to spoil the surprise for those of you who like to have your surprises unspoiled, I'll keep the reveal behind the cut. I will hint that the new footballer is a member of the New Directions glee club. Can you guess who it is? Find out if you're right, after the jump …
Glee fans are more used to seeing her wearing a frumpy cardigan, checked skirt and unflattering knee socks. So at first glance, it's a little difficult to recognise Lea Michele dressed up in a bulky American football shirt while filming a new episode of the show. The actress, who plays Rachel Berry in the hit TV series, wore her hair in braids, with her face painted with two black streaks. Despite her more unusual attire, Lea looked happy and relaxed as she strolled alongside co-star Cory Monteith, who plays her on-off love interest Finn on the show. Earlier this month, Lea had discussed the episode, which is said to air next year following the Superbowl. 'It's a lot of football stuff. You may or may not see me in a football uniform. That I will say,' she told Entertainment Tonight. It was unclear if Rachel will actually be joining the McKinley High football team, or if her appearance was just part of an extravagant musical number. Other Glee characters Kurt and Blaine were spotted in the bleachers cheering her on, while co-stars Chord Overstreet and Mark Salling were also on the football field. Glee is now on hiatus in the U.S., with the next episode not airing until February 2011.
It makes sense that there will be a bit of football featured on Glee, especially since they are working on a special Super Bowl episode … but I would've never guessed it was Rachel Berry (played by Lea Michele) who would be joining the team … I can't wait to find out how all of that comes about. Not only is Rachel a member of almost every club in high school but she can now add the football team to her list of extracurricular activities? To be honest, I'd expect nothing less.
