Choosing to straighten your teeth is a big decision that affects not only your appearance, but your lifestyle as well. As an adult, you may be looking to improve your smile for business and social reasons, or even for a special occasion like your wedding day. Or perhaps you're a teen or the parent of a teen looking for an effective yet modern-day solution.
The length of treatment depends on your situation and the type of invisible braces you are wearing. Typically, braces are worn from 18 to 24 months, though they are sometimes worn longer.
Metal braces work the best because they are made from the strongest materials. Ceramic braces, while strong and better looking, often take more time because they are not as strong as metal braces. Inside braces also can take more time to work effectively.

Product Review: Samanta Desert A170 Bra
To be blogging again feels amazing! Writing fulfills my soul, even if I am just chatting about bras, lingerie, and walking pneumonia. Today is all about the Samanta Desert A170 bra and how it relates to the ways European companies curtail their offerings for the North American market. Several months ago, Marzena of Samanta sent me the A170 to examine the fit because the bra specifically targets consumers wanting a minimizer. In the US, the term minimizer is fairly well known, and as the name implies these bras redistribute breast tissue to make the overall shape of the bust anywhere from 1″ to 3″ smaller than it is. Most accomplish this through the use of structured 2-ply fabric which helps compress while simultaneously shifting the bust vertically and horizontally across the chest.

If you have solid or engineered hardwood floors, you should aim to keep the temperature in your home between 60 degrees and 80 degrees and the humidity in your home between 35 and 55 %. Wood floors expand and contract, and depending on the temperature and humidity of your home environment your floors may react dramatically if those humidity and temperature changes are also dramatic. Your wood floors and furniture will absorb and release the moisture in your home. As your home humidity changes so does the condition of your hardwood floor. Any extreme temperature or humidity changes will be reflected in your floors.
During Summer
Humidity levels above 55% can cause the wood in your home to swell, creating pressure between the boards, causing warping and cupping. If you live in an area of high humidity, you should be especially proactive and aware of the effects humidity can have on your floors. Your floors were initially provided ample room for the acceptable and expected amount of expanding that will occur in normal conditions. But if you have abnormal conditions, like leaving your home for long periods of time without the air conditioner on or not tracking your home's humidity at all, your floors could expand beyond the amount that is provided.
During Winter
Low humidity, which is a bigger problem during the colder months, can also cause problems to your hardwood floors. Too little moisture is just as bad as too much moisture. If humidity levels drop below 35%, you run the risk of your wood floors drying out and the wood weakening, causing splintering. This can also damage your finish. If your skin feels dry, chances are your floors do also.
Things to Remember
- Consider using humidifiers and/or dehumidifiers. Whole house humidifiers are also available.
- Keep the temperature and humidity constant. In other words, if you are planning a trip away from home for a few weeks, make sure to maintain the air and humidity at a proper level for your floors.
- Purchase a humidistat or hydrometer from a hardware store or home center. This will give you the ability to monitor the humidity in your home and make changes as necessary to protect your floor investment and protect your warranty.
- Never use a steam cleaner/sweeper on your hardwood floor.

Joni Fuller is wrapping up a busy and successful 2011 with another appearance in Arundel, this time a guest appearance at a live music night at The Eagle, Tarrant Street, on Friday, December 30 at 8pm.
She returns to Arundel after two sell-out appearances in the town in 2011, including a headline appearance during the Arundel Festival in August.
During the year, she has taken her high-energy instrument swapping performances to venues ranging from Ronnie Scott's in London, Mo-Fest in Scotland and to 10,000 people during the firework finale of Athletissima 2011 at the Olympic Stadium in Lausanne, Switzerland.
2012 is looking to be a big year for the 20-year-old singer/songwriter and rock violinist.
Joni is currently in the studio with engineer/producer, Stuart Epps (Elton John, Jimmy Page, Robbie Williams, Oasis).
"We have been doing a lot of gigs during the year," says St Annes-based Joni whose grandparents live in Arundel.
"We have been playing in London especially."
Joni brought out an EP a couple of years ago which she recorded at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts: "It was great to get some tracks down, and I am thinking about doing some more recordings."

How much does it cost to sell direct?
Our service is completely free. Once we've purchased your property we make money by selling it on again, sometimes having refurbished or rented the property for a period of time.
Selling direct means no middle-men, so no commission to pay. A direct sale also saves on time; selling sooner rather than later could save you thousands of pounds in council tax, mortgage repayments, insurance and other costs to secure and maintain your property. Our offers are below market value in exchange for a quick and reliable sale.
No costs at any point – a commission free sale
Although our offers are below market value in exchange for a quick and reliable sale, there are many costs savings to benefit from a direct sale. The cost of maintaining and securing a property adds up over time, the longer a sale drags on the more it costs! Selling quickly can also allow you to move on with your plans sooner rather than later – sometimes life's too short to wait for a house sale!
IMPORTANT: BE WARNED OF COMPANIES THAT CHARGE A "VALUATION" FEE! The only costs you should incur with a direct sale will be your own solicitors fees. And by the way, if a property buying company is insisting that you use their own nominated solicitor (for free or otherwise) be warned!
No costs. A genuine direct property buyer will not ask you for payment at any point during the transaction.

Cloud Computing Benefits & Challenges For The Legal Profession
Attorneys tend to be conservative towards adopting new technology. That is understandable because they want to ensure that a change in practice won't undermine their ethical responsibilities. Law firms often take a wait-and-see attitude to let a technology mature before adopting it themselves. Cloud computing has had plenty of time to develop and law firms should seriously consider moving at least parts of their practices to the cloud, but only after understanding what that means.
What Is Cloud Computing?
You may have researched cloud computing yourself and found confusing explanations about Software-as-a-Service or OPEX models. Just as you don't need to understand the physics behind internal combustion to drive a car, you don't need the technical details of virtualized infrastructures to use cloud computing. Put simply, when you use cloud computing you are running programs and storing data, but rather than using your computer's hard drive you use the internet. The software itself, as well as your files, are stored online and your computer is merely a gateway to the application.
You may use cloud computing without realizing it. A huge number of cloud-based technologies have arisen in recent years. Businesses routinely use Google Docs to collaborate on documents, Dropbox to share files and Carbonite to backup data. Those are all cloud technologies. The term is new but cloud-type applications go back as far as the 1950s.
This technology can be considered mature, but the question remains: should you adopt cloud technology for your law office? For example, should you consider using cloud-based legal billing and trust accounting software, or stick with your dependable desktop-based tools? To answer that you need to consider the benefits and challenges of the medium.
Benefits Of Cloud Technology
It's fairly easy to find lists of cloud technology benefits, especially if you look at cloud vendor sites. Let's boil down those benefits and look at them specifically through the lens of the legal profession. What can cloud software do for you as an attorney?
- Mobility – You are no longer chained to a specific computer. You can access information from anywhere you have an internet connection. This can give you a tremendous advantage in court or in a mediation session if you have access to all of your files while the opposing attorney does not.
- Device Independence – Most cloud software is operating system independent. It doesn't matter if you use Mac OS or Windows. Many cloud applications can even be accessed by tablets and smartphones. No more lugging that heavy laptop around!
- Focus – Cloud software is managed by the developer, not by your practice. You no longer have to spend time on software installation and maintenances headaches. Instead, you can spend your time being a lawyer.
- Cost Savings – The initial outlay for a piece of software can be prohibitive, especially for a small or solo practice. Cloud software costs a small monthly fee rather than a large purchase cost. In addition, you don't need to hire dedicated IT staff or bring in outside consultants to set your software up.
- Scalability – It can be hard to grow your practice as fast as you grow your client lists. It's one thing to bring on attorneys and support staff, but the cost of upgrading equipment not to mention the time it takes to set things up is prohibitive. Adding new users to cloud computing is as simple as adding a new account, so the capabilities automatically grow as fast as you do.
- Disaster Recovery – A small fire in your office could destroy your client files, even if they are on a computer. Offsite backups are slow and costly, easy to overlook, and still may not protect you against large-scale disasters. Some attorneys affected by Katrina or Sandy found they lost not only their original computers but their offsite backups on the other side of the city as well. Automatic backups and geographically remote storage mean your cloud files are automatically protected even in the largest catastrophes.
- Sustainability – You may not think a lawyer's office has much of a carbon footprint, but all of us need to do what we can to preserve the environment. In a study for salesforce.com, environmental consulting company WSP found that salesforce.com's cloud computing infrastructure emitted only 5% of the carbon as onsite hardware would have.
Challenges Of Cloud Computing
Although the benefits are widespread, you need to be aware of the potential drawbacks of moving to the cloud. Only by carefully examining the liabilities and weighing them against the advantages can you decide if the cloud is right for you.
- Ethics – Attorneys should always consider whether new technology threatens their ethical responsibilities. Many law firms have waited for their state bar associations to venture opinions before adopting the new technology. The American Bar Association has collected cloud ethics opinions of the individual states that have issued formal statements. To date, all state bar associations that have ventured an opinion have supported cloud computing in principle as long as attorneys use Reasonable Care standards.
- Lack Of Control – Can you trust your sensitive data to a third party? Odds are you have already, whether it's a bookkeeper who balances your ledgers or a copy center that duplicates your case notes. As with any provider, you should do your research into your cloud computing provider. Ensure they have a professional record that is worthy of your trust.
- Data Breach – Although it may seem that putting your data on the internet is unsafe, enterprise application developer SAP SE points out that "most cloud services…employ protection and security far exceeding that of most Fortune 500 companies and government agencies". Having said that, you should still ask what protections are in place against a breach, and what actions will be taken should a breach occur.
- Account Hijacking – A thief doesn't have to break in if he has a key. A disgruntled former employee could wreak havoc if his account is not immediately disabled. A clever hacker could "social engineer" a password by calling your office and claiming to be tech support for your cloud provider. Automatic login might be convenient — until your computer becomes one of the 800,000 stolen laptops a year and gives a random criminal access to your records.
- Lack Of Access – Internet access is convenient…until you don't have internet. If you practice in areas that don't have reliable internet access, you might be better off with a desktop application. In addition, a Denial Of Service attack could bring down your cloud provider's servers, and leave you with no access until they come back up.
- Escalating Costs – Desktop software is a flat cost; cloud software costs you every month. In the short term cloud is cheaper but over time will it cost you more? What happens as your office expands? Your costs could rise precipitously as you add more users, so look over your fee agreement carefully.
Five Steps To The Cloud
Let's assume you've decided that you want to move one or more aspects of your law practice to the cloud. It's not like flipping a switch. You need to have a plan so you can minimize the disruption to your workflow and ensure you can continue to serve your clients.
Step 1: Create A Vision. Why are you going into the cloud? Hint – "Because everyone else is" is not a good answer. Understand how cloud computing will help your law firm and allow you personally to practice more effectively.
Step 2: Evaluate Challenges. Look at the challenges above and determine which ones will apply to your practice. Think about what other obstacles you will face, not the least of which being stubborn senior attorneys who don't want to change their ways. Make a list of all the problems you foresee.
Step 3: Find Solutions. Fix the problems before they become issues. By finding and implementing solutions ahead of time, you will sail past the obstacles without slowing down. For example, implement a policy to immediately close a user's account when someone leaves the firm to prevent unauthorized access.
Step 4: Take The Plunge. Sign up for your new cloud software and start using it. Expect a few unforeseen problems. Understand there will be a temporary slowdown as everyone gets used to the new system, but know that in the long run, you will run a leaner legal practice.
Step 5: Evaluate Your Progress. After a month or so, take a look at your practice and see how well you are doing. It's great to have a plan, but don't be so married to it that you ignore other problems. Know when to step back and try again, or even give up on a particular application that just doesn't work for you. Evaluate again around three and six months, and then yearly thereafter.
Most attorneys will find that cloud-based legal practice management, document sharing, video conferencing and other applications will be a great boon to their practices. However just as you didn't get your law degree in a day, don't expect the conversion to the cloud to be instantaneous. Evaluate the technology, consider your needs, and create a plan. You will soon reap the benefits of this new technology.

Sept. 30, 2009
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The West Coast Conference is in search of the league's "No. 1 fan" of women's basketball for all eight institutions. Broncos fans should visit www.wccfandraft.com or SantaClaraBroncos.com to attend the virtual WCC Fan Camp and have a chance to win tickets to the 2010 Zappos.com WCC Basketball Championships on March 5-8 at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas.
The program, which was produced by marketing and design firm Magner Sanborn, was funded by a 2009-10 NCAA Women's Basketball Marketing Grant. The West Coast Conference was one of only 18 recipients of the grant program, which dedicated approximately $750,000 nationally to increase awareness, exposure and increase attendance of women's basketball.
"With the help of the NCAA Women's Basketball Grant, the West Coast Conference and its institutions were given the opportunity to design and implement a new and unique viral marketing campaign that would have not been possible in the past," said WCC Commissioner Jamie Zaninovich. "We feel very strongly about promoting our women's basketball programs as much as possible, and feel that the WCC Fan Draft concept will greatly enhance each of our school's women's basketball marketing efforts for the 2009-10 season. We hope that success from this program will help us to continue to earn these grants in the future."
The NCAA Marketing Grant concept was generated from the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Discussion Group. The group consisted of head coaches, media representatives, former student-athletes and conference, institutional and Women's Basketball Coaches Association administrators. This initiative has been strongly supported by the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Committee, and the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Issues Committee.

It has been been quite some time. Happy Spring. Last time I was here I was talking about growing food in a drought. Two years later, we finally experienced a normal season of rain. Bless. During this time I have been living the fastest, slowest and definitely the longest period of my young life. And yet, it has only been a little over 2 years since my injury. For those of you who don't know, especially some of my past clients. I had a freak accident while hiking in the Shasta highcountry back in March of 2014. When I reflect on my life before the accident it seems so long ago, a distant dream. I was working hard on starting From The Ground Up and piecing together the small business, doing some rewarding work in the mental health world, helping my uncle paint homes in the city. All the while, walking amongst the trail, trees, creeks, lakes, Southern Oregon, the high desert, riding the old Schwinn 10-speed passing up all the freaks with cycling gear worth a small sports sedan, joyriding the mountain bike, learning from Shasta; getting to know it all again, this time more intimately. At this time, I will share all of this with the love of my life. A beautiful time for us both, as we seek the empty wide places void of the annoying human buzz.
On a crisp March 22nd morning my girlfriend and I hiked above Castle Lake. The view from above was breathtaking: Mount Shasta, Castle Crags, Mount Scott in Southern Oregon the Eddys all before us. One may go a lifetime without ever breathing cleansing mountain air. For me, it was a morning that I almost gasped my last. As we descended back to the lake, I slipped and began to fall on snow and ice. I picked up speed quickly, I tried to slow down by self-arrest using my hiking pole. We were almost down to the bottom, heading back to the lake to fish. Jenn witnessed as I sped down. I hit a tree and broke my back at T8 fracturing 7 ribs and a piece of my sternum along with a punctured lung, that began to fill with fluid. I'm lucky to be alive. There I lay in a snowy tree well, thinking that I broke my legs. Completely coherent and clear to where I was at, enough to communicate with Jenn. Fortunately we were close enough to the trailhead, as Jennifer ran for help. I've hiked here many times alone, this particular morning was shared. I was airlifted to UC Davis Medical in Sacramento. There, they put me back together. In a short 29 days I would be back home in Fairfax, starting the long road to recovery with hopes of walking again.
…One would say that I've been busy. All too much to list of the extreme mental and physical healing that continues to move only forward; which began literally From The Ground Up. I'm not too sure where this project will go or how I will use it to feed my soul. Everything has been adapted as I heal in a wheelchair. I've been working at what I want to do. Walk. However, an injury like this takes time to heal. Nerves take a long time to heal, they remind me of plant roots. What a continued practice of patience. Through the pain I exercise to keep my mind strong, it has been tough from this current perspective. The good news, my strength is coming back and I feel my legs and lower back.
Well folks, in a nutshell that's why I disappeared. Please if there're any questions regarding your gardens, any plants, design, wildlife, kombucha etc.; I'm an open book and would love to help. I will do what I can. The website and FB page is still up and running, although there maybe some changes coming. Again, thank you for taking the time to read. We'll connect again soon.

I really dislike the term "foodie." I think it's a term used by people who don't have much culinary knowledge when they feel insecure next to people like me who actually care about complex flavors, regional cuisine, quality ingredients, and sustainable production.
For example, this is what I've been eating lately:
For example, this is what I've been eating lately:
The Yubari Melon flavored Kit-Kat:
The McDonalds "McFeast" - fried chicken thigh, emmental cheese, spicy dill mustard, sauerkraut, and a German sausage patty on a rye bun:
And McDonalds "Shake-Shake fries"- regular french fries which come with a packet of seasoning powder (in this case, "cheese explosion") and a bag to shake them all up in to coat:
Don't hate.

Kenyette Belle professionally known as K.Belle is a singer that is 17 years old from Highbridge Section of The Bronx, NY. K.Belle is of Puerto Rican, Dominican, and African American Decent. His father's side of the family is very musically inclined. This is where he acquired his natural musical talent, and his parents decided to get him professional training. He has great parents that kept him away from the streets.
Currently, the talented young singer is managed by Stats who is involved in the music industry, as well as a Music Producer. K.Belle met with his current Producer/Manager Stats and Stats business partner/Co-Producer Sage of S.O/O.N Productions through his Aunt this past summer. They produced most of his current music including "Put Me On". "Put Me On," has gotten a great response and has given Belle a great start in his music career.
When it comes to inspiration, Bryson Tiller is an artist that K.Belle is inspired by because of his music having a Trap and R&B fusion. Bobby Valentino, Carl Thomas, and Michael Jackson are also artists that he is inspired by. K.Belle's music gives a Trap/R&B vibe as well as a 90's R&B/Hip-Hop feeling. His first project 'Roll With Me,' which is an EP, is diverse, will take you on a journey, and tell his story. Belle says, "Hopefully my music will impact a lot of people, and they will feel how I feel."
Belle's first performance was at the legendary venue SOB's in Manhattan this past March 2018. He is also set to do a performance at Star Lounge in Brooklyn, NY on June 2nd. "I want to be known for bringing R&B back…and making music different and diverse…have people who wouldn't think to do features, do features with each other,". Belle's ultimate goal is to move his family out of their current environment. He also wants to be on billboards, go out on tours, and continuing to work with a solid team.
The video for "Put Me On" is currently out on YouTube, and the song is also available on SoundCloud and on https://www.therealkbelle.

The Arab Police Department says officers responded to a domestic violence call at a home on Lee Ann Lane in Arab.
Arab Police Assistant Chief Shane Washburn says while the officers were there they smelled marijuana.
Washburn says after searching, the officers found a nine foot tall marijuana plant growing in the yard next door.

Selling Ties
Macclesfield pattern
Small and invisible
Dressy and low key
Spitalsfield pattern from Polo
Trad pinch ensures a dimple
Hard to associate anything negative
Another boring Macclesfield
The perfect interview tie
Rich but simple
Just keep the label hidden
Not just for weddings
Under the stated
Is this blog about holding onto tradition or am I'm just indulging in my own incomprehension of the last 20 years? You tell me.
It's no coincidence the black suit showed up in the early '90s and was touted by that arbiter of men's style, Donna Karan, "If designer Donna Karan had her way, black would be the third basic suit color in every man's wardrobe, after blue and gray." (Esquire Gentleman Magazine S/S 1993) That blue and gray have to be mentioned... Well, it's telling of the early '90s.
It took Esquire 20 years to figure the black suit is dead (recently reported). I guess that means if you bought a Donna Karan black suit in 1993 you're a chump or -- you work in insurance and I bailed you out of jail in Aventura, FL by cashing an expense check I forgot I had in my wallet... you lucky S.O.B.
It's no secret my profession is considered the little yellow school bus of financial services. 'Rate x Exposure ='s Premium' ain't hard to pick up although a liability policy can be. Anyway, I've decided to prepare a short primer on business dress in a sales organization. Should you desire, I am available to speak at your next conference for a small fee - provided it isn't at a Marriott Courtyard.
First (or last, as the post order will be) is the tie. I'm not talking that Asian place with coconut curry or the Chevy Chase character in Caddy Shack. Which, by the way, 92.7% of men over 40 can quote word for word. No, Danny. I'm talking a 58" long piece of silk, wool, cashmere or cotton that you'll have to learn to tie.
And don't tell me about that 'suit without tie look' you saw in Esquire. Today or in 1993. You are not an agent in Hollywood (I have screenplays if you are). You can't be the president of Iran and if you wanna take your tie off after work in Bennigans-- knock yourself out. When you are in a place of business, working with grown ups, you will wear a tie.
I will not tell you what tie to wear in your office. That's between you and your office. Frankly, if you have really bad taste, I wanna see you coming for a country mile and a bad tie will do just that. I will tell you what tie to wear when you are meeting a client, a prospect, a bank, an employer or anyone else you want money from.
It should be silk and it must be understated. Small patterns work best because they disappear. The tie will look rich, have depth and it should bore people to death. Allow your competitor to beat people over the head with the unsubtle: (1) Hermes or Ferragamo Tie (charges too much). (2) Donald Duck or Nascar Tie (charges too little). (3) Rep Tie (born with too much).
Strangers, and especially women, will make petty conclusions about you based on your tie. And a sales call is no time to let the 'real you' hang out. By the way, this is a good time to mention wearing bow ties. Don't. Not on a sales call and I don't care what you sell. You like bow ties? So do I. Wear 'em when you're in the office cold calling. It's fun. Kinda like talking to someone on the phone when you're naked.
Next is shirting or, as I like to call them... shirts. This isn't complicated and I refuse to make it so. Unless someone starts paying me. In which case my Power Point presentation is standing by.

My comment is somewhat related to ties.... (Plus you said women make judgements about ties and the men wearing them - you're right.)
I recently organized corporate portraits for my office.
Our two main offices are in Chicago and New York. Chicago has no dress code. No. Dress. Code. (Sorry, but I disagree with management that t-shirts, shorts and flip flops are appropriate for the office. I don't need to see the cracked heels of our senior team. Is moisturizer that expensive or hard to find? I think not.) Our New York office is 'business casual'. Ill-fitted polyester shirts, salt-stained shoes and definitely no ties.
So for the portraits, I enforced suits and ties. Maaaaan, men look SO GOOD when an effort is made! Especially with an elegant tie. Acccessories maketh the man.
PS: Totally agree with your point on bow ties.

I have an ex IBMer father. I think it was about 1979 or so before a light blue shirt wasn't seen as radical as a Zoot suit.
Tin Tin, was it about 1983 or so when the loud tie revolution started? The yellow and redt ies with Paisley design hordes stalked the Nicollet Mall and skyways of MPLs.

Right all the way tintin. I remember most of the guys I used to interview for jobs were wearing Tom Wolfe exploding pizza ties, in fact most of the people I interviewed with for jobs were also wearing exploding pizza ties. Of course I didn't move in exalted financial circles, it was metal bashing, so maybe this made a difference. And the black suit is still surprisingly popular with the under 30's. WHY?

An asshole that enjoys making myself smirk and reading your blog.

Tin Tin,
Just curious why you recommend the Repp? What is a preppy to do on the interview?

Spending a day with clients this week. They will be in sport shirts and dockers, maybe a blazer. Recommendation on what is appropriate attire for their agency partner(me) to wear?
Initial plan was suit, conservative dress shirt and no tie.

Outstanding post!
- 28 March, 2011 12:35
"You can't be the president of Iran." - Hilarious.
"When you are in a place of business, working with grown ups, you will wear a tie." - Perfect.
But lets see, you have a blank check in your wallet, are available to speak at conferences, have screenplays and a PowerPoint presentation standing by. You ARE ready for anything. And much more complex than the patterns on your ties, as it should be. And as, I suspect, your message all along.
- 28 March, 2011 13:05
Better yet, go with suit, conservative dress tie, and no shirt.
- 28 March, 2011 13:12

Hey guess what Tin-Tin?
I found myself a handsome boyfriend who appreciates the finer things in food, dress and travel.
And he's not even older or divorced.
Now I have someone on which to bestow my male-oriented thrift scores. Like a recently found vintage, perfect condish YSL tie (with subtle, small print). Definitely a Trad-approved find.

I have some clients from a Ins. Retail brokerage....all the guys sport the suit with no tie look...puzzling. When I am at their office or they are at mine...I am always wearing a tie...and put the suit-coat on for the meeting.
Many guys show up at the office well dressed...then the coat hangs on the back of the door all day. If you have clients in the conference room....put the coat on before meeting them.
At the first big law firm where I worked, starting in 1989...they still had the rule that you put you suit coat on whenever you left your office....even to go to the file room.

Alice- Chicago always was, how do you say? Too close to Wisconsin. Everyone I knew knew from WI wore Countess Maria ties and had gold chains with little gold nuggets as tie holders.
They can do a $6.95 fish fry righter than rain but the cheese in the clothes is too much and over flows south past Racine, through Waukegan where it picks up the Metra tracks and travels like greased cheddar to Michigan Avenue.
Unc loonney- I started at Aetna Casualty & Surety in 1986 and the old farts always wore their suit jackets at their steel desks and told us how, only just a few years before, they could wear blue shirts. I was usually wearing a pink BB BD when they told me this.
The denim dress shirt was right 'round the corner. I remember the really bad, Nicole whatever-her- name was, ties hitting the market in the early 90s. If that helps.
Joe- 'cause they're 30. How smart were we when we were 30? Not that I'm any smarter now. I've just made more mistakes.
I remember Britches of Georgetown came out with a DB Green suit with light brown bone buttons. It was the ugliest god damned suit I've ever seen. Very popular in Chicago and Kenosha.
Anon- Yeah? HOF you too!
Unc Looney- That's why I'm drinking up. If the world is coming to an end, I'd prefer to have a slight buzz.
Trailer Trad- I sell myself short everyday. I'm 5'8 3/4.
James @ 10- Understanding that, I'd prefer if Orrin Hatch gave up his ties or maybe Mac and Kat at Pierpont Hicks can make a political donation. Not that I wanna help the dark side.
Dallas- Smirking over the Triangle Fire is... Never mind. This place is as unhip as you're ever gonna find. You're a funny guy but you hacked up something that wasn't even intelligent. And you usually are.
EHT - I don't rec the repp. Carries a lotta baggage. Like a BMW that cuts you off at the toll booth. People love to hate. Trust me on this.
Dallas- I'd wear a blazer and khakis with a polo shirt. Then I'd set some deviled eggs out in the sun for 6 hours and feed 'em to your clients with lots of milk. Then sit back and watch the fun. But keep your blazer a good distance away. It would be bitch to spend another $140 for a new one.
DB- I bailed a buddy outta jail with an expense check I signed over to the bailsman. No blank check. We were in Aventura on business. I turned in early. He didn't.
Sheik- Nice rec. Are you really a sheik?
Makaga- Tough guys wear bow ties. Just not in front of the enemy.
Cocktail 0- That's worse than me pouring cheap hooch in expensive bottles. Or, not.
those tricks- you'll have to change your handle, sweetie. Congratulations. I am very happy for you. If he breaks your heart let me know. I have some friends close by in the Army.
Main Line- I knew a guy at Aetna in Philly. An underwriter. He'd leave his jacket at his desk, take a file and go home early. Say 2:30 or 3PM. Then he'd come in around 10:30 the next morning in his shirt sleeves with the same file and everyone thought he'd stayed late and come in early. He did this for years. He still might be doing it. Good enough reason to wear a jacket and a tie.
- 28 March, 2011 19:11
i'll tip my hat to the compliments and pick and choose my spots better in the future. smirking wasn't' aimed at the tragedy but at our previous conversation re: made in the usa.
can not pull off the polo shirt and blazer look. dress shirt, blazer and khakis should work. now the decision comes to the collar.

Late to this discussion, but if you can be confident that you are, in fact, interviewing with WASPs, then there should be no trouble about a repp with a bd shirt. It will make them more comfortable with you.

Almost two weeks ago, we posted an interview with Richard Kahlenburg of the Century Foundation who said that low income students were being kept out of college in large numbers because they couldn't afford it and grant programs had been cut to the bone by a Federal govt that wasn't interested and state govts that were already severely strapped by the Federal pull-out from its responsibilities. Today the NY Times editorial board weighed in.
Published: May 25, 2004
Nearly a half-million Americans will be turned away from four-year colleges this year for financial reasons, thanks to rising tuition costs and declining state and federal aid for low- and middle-income students. Congress should modify the federal college loan system to deal with this problem. A proposed bill would save billions of dollars that could then be redirected into grants for tuition aid.
Right now there are two basic college loan programs. The direct loan system, which actually makes a small profit, allows students to borrow from the government through their schools. Under the vastly more expensive Federal Family Education Loan Program, private banks receive federal subsidies to make government-backed student loans. Colleges can participate in only one of the two systems. In the 1990's, Congress talked about phasing out the costly bank-based program and replacing it with the direct loan program. Such a step could save billions of dollars a year that could be directed into the federal Pell Grant program, which helps pay the college expenses of low-income students with outright grants. This common-sense plan was killed by the banking lobby, but it has returned in the form of a bipartisan House bill known as the Direct Loan Reward Act.
The bill would encourage the nation's colleges to participate in the less expensive direct loan program by giving half of the savings to them in the form of Pell Grants for needy students. Backers of the loan reform bill say it could channel enough money into Pell Grants to increase the size of the awards by more than a third at some public colleges, raising the maximum grant to about $6,000 a year.
Supporters of the bill calculate that taxpayers may save more than $6 billion annually if all of the nation's colleges and universities move to the direct loan program. But the money saved and the increase in Pell Grants would be substantial even if only a significant fraction of the nation's colleges made the switch. That result alone makes this bill a good idea.
You can help by calling your Representative and demanding that s/he support the Direct Loan Reward Act for low income students. While you're at it, the next time you go to your bank, take a few minutes to speak to a manager and tell them you don't appreciate the bank's lobbyists killing the first reform bill and that you'll pull your account if they don't support DLRA this time around. Remember: it's your money, not theirs.

We've all seen it: the video that goes by the title, 'Oman 1990 Ruwi, Wadi Kabir', which was uploaded by British expat Simon Cockerham. The one-minute-and-ten-second video gives viewers a clear idea of some of Oman's most prominent landmarks, including the Star Cinema building, the Sheraton Oman hotel and some shots of driving past the Central Business District (CBD) area.
Cars like Mitsubishi Pajeros, Toyota Cressidas and Corollas galore; the video takes me back to older times.
Fast forward to today: As I roar past the traffic in my 300-horsepower sedan and en route to the Sheraton Oman hotel, I cannot help but notice the untouched road networks and the sign boards in the CBD area.
But then, why should it be revamped? The roads in CBD continue to ferry scores of cars and other vehicles daily without any hitch. This goes to show how well the roads were made and, above all, how well it was all planned out. In short, if you drove across the Ruwi and Wadi Kabir area in 1990, you wouldn't require the assistance of Google Maps today.
What's even more amazing is when you realise that this was one of the first roads in the country. The CBD (and Muttrah) was once the hub for all major activities in the country. Oman's first airport was situated in the locale, and so was its first five-star hotel (and the tallest building in Oman).
Today, however, Oman's roads are ranked among the top five in the world. The report published by Singaporean website MICE earlier this year stated that Omani highways were up in the top with countries such as France, United Arab Emirates and Singapore.
Despite all the laurels, the roads have actually changed over the last four decades, and for the better.
Oman currently has a staggering 62,240 highways in total, and the network is growing daily. Just last week, a 27km-long stretch of road on the Al Batinah expressway connecting Saham and Sohar was opened to the public.
Just to put things into perspective, a total of 1,426,350 vehicle (as of September 2017) are plying the roads of Oman every day.
"We have to applaud His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said for all these achievements," says Gregory J, a long-term resident of Oman.
"I started driving around 30 years ago, and the changes I have seen since that period of time are staggering. Initially, all we had was the Sultan Qaboos highway. Today, we are given more than three options when we are travelling places.
"I remember having to spend more than one hour to get from Muttrah (where he stayed) to Seeb for a weekend getaway with my wife," he adds, before going on to compliment the Sultan Qaboos highway, the Muscat Expressway and other roads that interlink parts of Oman.
"All of this aids to cut traffic and also makes driving easier. But there are more cars on the roads today," the 58-year-old businessman asserts.
"What that means is that the Royal Oman Police (ROP) has a lot more work to do than ever before.
"But I think that they're doing a great job and, if you look closely, one aspect has been reducing road accidents over the years," he points out.
And he's right. The number of road accidents stood at 2,738 from January to September this year compared with 3,480 in the same period last year, as per the statistics revealed by the National Centre for Statistical Information.
A part of this can be attributed to the untiring efforts put in by a team working on its dream to make the roads of Oman 100 per cent safe: The Oman Road Safety Organisation (ORSA).
"We have a lot to do. Such a change cannot be made overnight. Instead we must begin inculcating the thought of road safety into the minds of youngsters and the elder
drivers," tells Ali al Barwani, the CEO of ORSA in a video interview with Y last week.
"Everyone is set in their ways. Today you may be confident of driving fast on the highways, or failing to buckle down your children using a child seat because you have never faced any incidents. But the reality is that one mistake is enough to change your course of life."
Today, the ORSA takes educating the masses as its responsibility to create a nation wherein no one is at risk while on the road.
"Oman's roads are one of the best in the world but there's much for us to do as drivers," Ali explains.
"What is the point of having all the facilities in the world if the people are not making use of them in the right way?" he asks.
"His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said has spoken out about road safety publicly, and it's something that has been discussed widely. And in recent times, the ROP has been much stricter in its approach to road offences. It's something that has definitely helped to bring a wind of change in the country.
"How amazing would it be to have the roads that we have here, and with the utmost levels of safety?" he asks.
"So, don't forget: make use of the roads, but not at the expense of another human's life. Every time you feel like doing something rash, think about your family; think about all those people who are dependent on you; and, above all, think about the family that must be reliant on the other person who is on the road alongside you."

Create It
Pantry Organize It!
It's January and time for me to dig into closets, cupboards, and pantries and begin my annual organizing, purging, and clean up! We are experiencing record low temperatures and wind chills and since I am cooped up inside, it is the perfect time to set about these tasks.
I sat down to read a few blogs one morning with a cup of coffee in hand. I started coveting the look of organized pantries, with beautiful containers, and pretty shelf paper. My first thought was, my pantry could never look like that, and then, do "these" people really use their pantries? Next thought, "I want...I "need" to go buy all matching beautiful containers"... I "need" to purchase fun shelf paper!"
Then, reality and practicality set in. I had to slow down, and be true to my philosophy of first, use what I have. Secondly, IF, I were to purchase beautiful, new, matching containers, I needed to measure my spaces first, and take stock of what I really needed. I admit, I have purchased containers recommended by other bloggers or Pinterest boards, only to bring them home and have them be a little too, big, or two wide, and in general, not fit my space. So, I decided to begin with the task of cleaning up, organizing, and assessing what I already have, before running out to get "new" containers--that I might not need and might not work.
I decided to tackle one shelf at a time. Items would be checked for expiration dates, and grouped on my kitchen island by categories. My goal was ultimately, to shelve like items with like items. (I am notorious for "squirreling" things away that are "overflow" items. I find an oh so perfect, second little spot and totally lose track of the "overflow" items. Then, I can't find them when I really need it.) Another goal: Shelve like things together, all in one spot.
I also, decide to make an inventory of each shelf, so I could locate items and take stock of them, prior to making my grocery shopping list. I have never done this before, but there are many home organizers who recommend this, so I thought I'd give it a try.
I began with shelf #2 that holds many baking supplies. I emptied the entire contents of shelf #2, and organized them in categories. For this shelf it went something like this: flour, sugar, powdered sugar, brown sugar canisters, and 5 lb. bags of flour and sugar; cake mixes, Bisquick, Gingerbread Mix; various syrups: agave, Karo, molasses, maple syrup. If you look closely at the before photo, you'll notice, that some of these items were not housed on that shelf. After I emptied the contents of each shelf and organized the items into categories, I took another look at the whole pantry. I looked for items that should be placed in the categories I had placed on the island. Once again, my goal was to keep like things together on the same shelf.
After clearing the shelf and organizing like items together on my island, I wiped down the shelf. (I'm still dreaming about new shelf paper, but I'm willing to wait until I find something that I really like. After all, the current shelf paper is about 20 years old. I liked it then, I like it now!)
I admit, I like pretty things, even if they are hidden behind the doors of my pantry. Several years ago, I spotted these lovely canisters in TJ Maxx. I purchased them. If I had the counter space, I would display them. They make me happy. I don't have the counter space, so they replaced some bright, yellow, Tupperware canister circa 1970's in the pantry. They do take up more space than other, made for 5 lb. bags of flour and sugar containers. At one time, I had considered, replacing them with something more practical and space saving. I couldn't do it. Pretty trumped, practical in this case.
I came up with a solution for keeping my pretty canisters, while being more efficient with the space. My pantry shelves are 12 inches deep. I decided, I could store the extra 5 lbs. of flour and sugar bags, behind the flour and sugar canisters. The bags would be easy to access when I needed to refill each canister. Before, I had my canisters lined up flush with the wall, and put the refill bags and other items in front of the canister (or on another shelf) and it meant moving the items, every time I wanted to bake.
This idea was one of those, "I can't believe I didn't think of this before!" ideas. I was able to continue to use this same space saving idea, with the cake mixes and gingerbread mix. I stored them behind the smaller canisters. I know that the space behind the canisters will vary as we use and add other food stuffs. I envision, Jiffy Cornbread mixes replacing the gingerbread mix, as Jiffy Cornbread is a common food stuff to accompany winter soups.
I was so pleased with the organized shelf #2, that I continued on to shelf #3. (I was saving shelf #1 for last, as I saw this as my greatest challenge. I was hoping that as I organized the other shelves, ideas would percolate and solutions for the top shelf would come to mind.)
Shelf #3 wasn't, too bad. I had done a quick organization of spices in the fall. We purchased this ferris wheel spice rack several years ago. I loved the novelty of it, and have replaced the spices over the years to reflect the ones we use most. That said, I do realize, that it may not be the most practical use of our pantry space, but I've decided to keep it.
Shelf #3 involved throwing out a few expired items, wiping the shelf down, organizing the categories on the kitchen island, and perusing the other shelves to see if there were like items to add to this shelf. I wanted to stay true to my goal of keeping like items together. All Pam cooking spray products are lined up in a row, followed by vinegars, followed by olive oil and the like.
I tackled shelves #4 and #5 and the floor of the pantry all at one time. I had purchased the green bins with handles from the Dollar Tree several years ago. I use them like pull out drawers to contain canned goods and food stuffs by category. I relabeled some of my categories for our current use. Once again, each family's categories will be different. My husband make great pumpkin bread and pumpkin pancakes. I like to make the muffins that require a cake mix and can of pumpkin. (Depending on your preference, spices, an egg, or water can be added to the mix.) Therefore, we always have a green bin labeled "PUMPKIN". That works for us.
I followed the same procedure as the other shelves: empty shelves, organize categorize on the kitchen island, add additional items that may have been placed on other shelves to the categories, and washed the lime green bins.
I labeled all unlabeled bins. I chose to put the bins in alphabetical order.
Shelf #4 and the Floor--AFTER! The clear bins are generic plastic bins. The bottom bins should be labeled, "ONIONS", "PUMPKIN", and "POTATOES". (I know they are out of alphabetical order, I read somewhere that onions and potatoes should not be stored together. I had the "PUMPKIN" bin separate them for any infighting.)
The organization of these shelves pleases me. The bottom shelves are actually an old laminate shoe organizer that I repurposed for the pantry. There was this large amount of space and I really needed shelves, so this was my solution when we moved into our home over 20 years ago and it has worked. Maybe one day, I'll actually add "proper" shelves....maybe...
Breakfast cereal was relocated to the far left on the shelf. I relocated the peanut butter and almonds right next to the cereal. Sometimes, I have peanut butter on toast for breakfast. Other times, I might have a handful of almonds or put slivered almonds on my cereal in the morning. It's all about what works for your family.
At this point, I was feeling quite pleased with my pantry organization.
Finally, it was time to tackle the dreaded top shelf! The problem with the top shelf is things get lost on the top shelf. I have repurposed another laminate shoe rack for the top shelf, so there are actually three levels. The very top is awkward to access, but there is so much space. It goes to the ceiling, and I was determined to use it, but in a more functional manner.
I repeated the same process for the top shelf: empty all contents, organize by category on the kitchen island, wash down the shelves, and give serious thought to the use of the very top shelf. As I cleaned up each shelf, I kept asking myself, how can we best use the space? There is limited real estate in this pantry. Items have to be "used" to have prime location in the pantry. (For example: Plastic drinking cups are used for big gathering and buffet type entertaining. They are not an every day item. They were relocated to the pantry in the basement.)
We seemed to have an abundance of crackers. (Some of them were a little buried and on various shelves.) I used containers I already had to corral them in one place. There are nights when supper is cheese and crackers and a fruit and vegetable tray. Even so, I think we need to pare down the cracker containers and make room for other food stuffs.) Then, it was a matter of opening the bags of chocolate chips, white morsels, cinnamon chips, and putting the various morsels into the containers that I had already established.
I think moving the teas and teapot to two bins on a lower shelf makes so much more sense. I know the teapot will get much more use.
I looked around to see what items had not made it back into the pantry. I had various bottles of flavored vinegars: red wine, white wine, champagne, and a few others. We don't use them that often. I decided to put them on the top shelf in a clear plastic container. I like using these rectangular containers. They can keep like things altogether and can act like a drawer. You can pull it part way off the shelf to access the items within it. I moved the Marsala wine to the same container, as it falls in that "used for cooking-not often" category.
Now, to tackle the tippy-top shelf. It extends to the ceiling, but with my current arrangement, it is awkward to access. Whatever is on that shelf should be something that needs to be stored and is used on occasion. I decided to store some large decorative bowls and serving pieces to my Romance dinnerware collection. My mom gave me quite a few of these pieces. I love getting them out in the fall and using them as part of our decor and having them for special dinners. I also have a large bowl and pitcher from a collection created by Susan Winget. I use these in the fall, too.
This isn't a great photo, but you get the idea. I have 4 large serving bowls, a square flat serving plate, a divided serving platter, and the large pitcher stored on this shelf. It took some doing, and yes, I did have to remove the bin of vinegars and 2 containers of nuts to place these large pieces in this space. I think it is going to work. The pieces are now in one place and they are pieces that I use in the late summer and fall. I had one other large platter to this set. I was trying to keep like things together. The platter wouldn't fit on the top shelf, but I was able to store it on another shelf.
The shelves in the pantry are fairly wide. I decided I could store the large serving platter behind the cereal. The platter was one item that didn't make it on the same shelf as the other serving pieces from this collection, but I am pleased that all of the pieces are located in the pantry, and not some in the corner cabinet in the kitchen, others in the armoire in the living room, and so on. Now, in the fall, I know these items are altogether, and I can easily retrieve them.
Here's a quick recap.
This post wouldn't be complete without sharing one of my favorite organization tools: Command Hooks!
I made use of some of the narrow, side walls of the pantry to hang vanilla beans, coffee, and more coffee on Command Hooks, with the help of some clamps and binders.
At the end of the day, I didn't buy one new (cute) container. I like seeing my pretty canisters and the Dollar Tree green bins give the pantry a pop of color, as well as organization. The clear containers I've had for years fit the space. It all works.
Yes, the shelf paper could be replaced, but I haven't found anything that I really like, yet. Admittedly, the pantry itself, could use a coat of paint and maybe I should install some proper shelves to replace the laminate shoe organizers. All of that can be for another day--or not. Today, I'm pleased and proud of my pantry. I met my goal of arranging items that we use the most in convenient places. I arranged like items together, instead of here and there and everywhere. I used what I already had. As for the pantry inventory--I'll keep you posted on its merits.
I hope I've given you some ideas that might help you organize your kitchen space. I encourage you to adapt these principles to your family's needs: use what you have, organize like items together, label everything, and plan to place items that are most used in the places that are most convenient for your family. It's all about what works for your family!

hello world. it's been awhile since i last gave an update. it's the end of the night for me and it's time to watch some american dad (my new favourite show for the past few months) and fall asleep. i don't get much time to watch any tv with all the touring and recording which is kind of cool in a way because when i get into a show i get to watch so many episodes all at once. for the past few weeks i've locked myself away in my writing room for hours on end. most days are great, but like every album some days are better than others. today was a pretty decent day, i started writing 2 new songs and hopefully will finish them soon and add them to the pile. i have quite a few ideas right now with lots of different sounds and different parts. i know, that sounds very vague, but at this stage i'm still trying out so many different ideas and seeing what works best for each song. i'm trying out songs and then recording them in completely different ways to see what sounds best for that particular song. i'll take a song and make it sound 5 different ways, making it heavier or softer, slower or faster, different drum beats etc. i've figured out the vibe and the feel of the record, which is always the most important part for me. once i have the direction it's just a matter of filling in the blanks. right now there's pile of puzzle pieces in front of me and i'm in the middle of trying to put them all together. In time i'll start posting some video of what i am working on. i'm still doing all my physio therapy and i've added playing basketball into my daily routine now. it's helping me get my strength back to walk again. it's still a little difficult but it's getting a lot better. also i've been approached lately to write and produce for few different artists, and also music for movies and television. i'm really excited about that because they're all such different styles of music. it's challenging but also a fun exercise for the mind. i love all kinds of music and i love trying out new things that i've never done before. at this point in my life i'm looking for new paths to walk down while being open minded and and excepting of new challenges. all in all life is great and i'm excited about the future. i still can't wait to be on tour again though. hopefully that will be soon.
take care, love ya all!
