|In response to Re: Toilet Leak - Help!
: : My toilet is leaking between the base and the tank.
: : I had to take it out to put in a new floor and then I reinstalled it. When I reinstalled it, I put on a new wax ring and put new bolts in at floor level. No sign of leaks down there. I also replaced the tank bolts with all new bolts, washers, etc. I also put on a new gasket and rubber ring on the bottom of the tank that seats on the hole on the top of the base of the toilet.
: : The water is coming out from the seam between the toilet tank and the base of the toilet, right behind the toilet seat. It then falls onto the floor.
: : What should I be checking and is there something I could have done wrong? The first time I installed it I didn't replace the gasket and ring on the bottom of the tank because that was fine, but then it leaked. So then I took the tank back off, put the new gasket and ring on and still it leaks. Ideas?
: : Thanks,
: : Greg
: There are different tank to bowl gaskets, make sure that you used the correct one. The tank to bowl bolts should have the rubber washer on the inside of the tank, no metal washers go here. The bolts need to be tightened slowly and evenly. It is really easy to crack a toilet tank when bolting it onto the bowl. Make sure that it is not cracked.
The new toilet tank bolts came with 2 rubber washers and one metal washer. I put a rubber washer on top and one on the bottom and finally the metal one last on the bottom, then the nut. Feeling those, they are bone dry.

good shoe once I can get it on
"I buy this brand frequently online because I know how they are going to fit. My only issue with these shoes is, like all the others in this brand, they can be a little hard to get in to. Once I have them on they fit fine, but getting my foot into them can be tricky.I usually wear a 9 or a 9.5, if there is no wider width option. In this case, I bought the 9 with the M width and it fit perfectly."

Epistle Reading
Document Actions
St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 15:7-16
Prokeimenon. Mode 3.
Luke 1: 46-48
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Verse: For he has regarded the humility of his servant.
BRETHREN, welcome one another, therefore, as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "Therefore I will praise thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name"; and again it is said, "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people"; and again, "Praise the Lord, all Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him"; and further Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse shall come, he who rises to rule the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope." May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. I myself am satisfied about you, my brethren, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to instruct one another. But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?

Orangeville Mayor Pat Jones reported construction of the new restroom facility at the ballpark had been completed. He reported the work was accomplished by city employees. Part of the project included extending water, sewer and power to the ball field and restroom facility. The restroom is a prefabricated restroom made of cement and painted to appear like wood construction and is similar to those found in the mountains and desert. The restroom was delivered from CTX Concrete Buildings of Spokane, Wash. to the ball field on a truck and weighed 20 tons. A large crane from American Fork was used to lift the restroom from the truck and set it on the cement pad that had been prepared for this installation. In addition to the cement pad on which the restroom was placed, the city installed a large apron of cement around the restroom area to provide easy access for handicapped people and to drain rainwater away from the building. This restroom is placed on the North edge of the large paved parking lot between the two ball fields.
Mayor Jones said this building is really well built with an excellent design and cost over $40,000. The community impact board supplied $35,000 and the city made up the rest of the money needed for this project.
He said the building design is very functional with stainless steel toilets, sinks of stainless steel and there is even a stainless steel mirror. The walls are solid cement. The partition down the middle is a utility strip between the two rooms. That is where all the water comes in. The lights that provide light into the two rooms are in the strip. When the light is turned on it shines through an unbreakable panel into each room. Also there are two stainless steel drinking fountains on the exterior of the building. This is a big improvement for the Orangeville Ball Field.

Skip to comments.Poll: 78% of Uninsured Not Interested in ObamaCare
Posted on 11/08/2013 12:18:06 PM PST by tcrlaf
A new Gallup poll brings more terrible news for President Obama and his signature health plan, showing that only 22% of uninsured Americans intend to buy insurance through the ObamaCare exchanges.
One of the major selling points for using ObamaCare to disrupt our health care system (that polls showed up to 80% of Americans were satisfied with) was to insure the uninsured. But according to this poll, only a very small minority of that small minority is even interested in obtaining insurance.
Even more troubling is the realization that a month ago, that number was double; a full 44% of the uninsured said they would purchase insurance though the exchanges.
Over the course of a month, however, the reality of ObamaCare scared off half of that 44%

Everbody knows that...
The uninsured apparently never CARED that they were uninsured.
A huge, disruptive solution for something that was apparently never a problem in the first place.
Well, the solution here is OBVIOUS to any Socialist Democrat.
INCREASE THE FINES!! (but exempt our voting groups from them.)
Obama-the-Undocumented Moslem Tyrant has simple
goals: redistribution, Communism and arming al Qaeda.
Obamacare was not about insuring the uninsured. That was the campaign selling point. But it included millions of people who were already insured and already happy with their coverage.
Those people who's coverage had to CHANGE.
This is baaaaaad news for the Democrat socialists.
Hmmm... any 2-bit manufacturer will test the market for interest in their product.
We've been scammed...
A huge, disruptive solution for something that was apparently never a problem in the first place."
man did you nail it.. brilliant..
Well......Did you know Old MacDonald was a bad speller?
All the more reason why they must be compelled to join up. And all the more reason why new programs designed to educate and indoctrinate people to act in their own best interests must be created, staffed, funded, and implemented. And all the more reason why taxes must be raised and business restricted, to pay for these new programs. Healthcare must be reformed. No longer can we make no mistake about it.
Every day, it seems, it gets little more over.
It was never about health care. It is a communist redistribution of wealth.
I guess we need to build build bigger prisons. semi-s/
Reminds me of what happens when you introduce commodes to uncivilized folk who are used to taking a squat on their haunches. They can be 'encouraged' to use the commode—but when they do they don't sit on it, they squat on their haunches on top of the commode.
I'll bet 75% of the "low-information" crowd don't even know they'll be fined if they don't sign up.
If you can afford insurance and plan on seeking urgent care in an emergency room, then either have the insurance or get a health savings account. I think they were interested just not in going broke trying.
We were told that they'd be dying in the streets if ACA wasn't passed - sounds like a stool sample - "We have to pass it to find out what's in it" ... well I guess they did.
So...when does the Insurance Market Death Spiral commence?
oh, wait. you mean the uninsured are uninsured by choice, and not because some mean insurance company is oppressing them?
imagine that.
If one were to believe that the purpose of Obamacare was to provide health insurance to the uninsured, this would be a disaster.
But since the true purpose of Obamacare is to implement socialism and raise the level of government control over individuals, it is simply an interesting factoid.
Your word is COW.
In one month half the uninsured who were planning to take the obamaCAIR plunge have decided they won't. That's very encouraging.
Therefore, the "problem" that they were trying to solve was not the problem that they stated they were trying to solve...
The "problem" was that they couldn't use the power of the State to deny healthcare to their political enemies.
"Ill bet 75% of the low-information crowd dont even know theyll be fined if they dont sign up."
They'll find out when it's deducted from their refunds...just in time for the 2014 campaign season.
Did you know Old MacDonald was a bad speller?
Very good.
Another "very good" is the Real Clear Politics Average just up that puts O finally at -10 — due to a Pew Research poll coming in at -17. Go take a gander.
I want this atrocity of 0dumb0Care to crash & burn and if necessary take the country down as well, if it means that we can charge & prosecute & imprison 0dumb0, Holder, Hitlary, Sebellious, Reid & Pelosi! Actually the entire top 3 levels of 0dumb0's entire administration deserve to be serving 50 years in prison for treason!
I am on it. Thanks.
It was used as a weapon for class warfare and more racial division. "There are millions out there who don't have health insurance, a basic human right." "Single mOthers all over the country have to decide whether they want to feed their family or have healthcare."
I told them to pound sand and I'll be running naked from 12/31/13 forward.
If that means just not filing tax returns from that point, so be it.
You make an interesting point...what are the time deadlines...I know most of these folks file immediately in January...to get the EIC...every street corner in the 'hood sprouts a "fast tax" office..
People may be "stupid", but they're not *that* stupid. If a person is struggling with lodging, utilities, food, & gas, they are at least smart enough to know that they cannot afford what amounts to an extra car payment- or even mortgage payment, each month.
Only a democrat believes that money (or whatever utterly unreasonable demand they want at any given time) can just be materialized out of thin air because they've made the demand.
In short, they live in a fantasy world.
"only a very small minority of that small minority is even interested in obtaining insurance"
And most of them will wind up in Medicaid because they won't meet the income test for the actual insurance policies.
"any 2-bit manufacturer"
Begged question, the defect's in your first assumption.
I got this one.
Dag nabbit
So here's the risk pool in the exchanges:
People with pre-existing conditions
Pregnant women
Men with prostate or ED issues
Substance abusers
People with mental health issues
People who qualify for subsidies
New Medicaid enrollees
Sounds like a winner to me. Anyone want to short health care provider stocks?
BINGO! A poll taken a month or so ago (can't recall the pollster, but it was widely reported) showed that 69% of young adults did not know they were mandated to purchase insurance or pay a penalty. Presumably with all the hoopla, more are aware of that fact by now, but possibly not.
"We have to create a gigantic bureaucracy before we can find out if anybody wants it." - Nanzi Pelozi
Bingo? I thought we were singing "Old MacDonald"...
Meanwhile, there are now millions of cancellations for the 5% who buy individual coverage, and next year businesses may discontinue coverage for many of the 49% who get insurance from their employers.
If just 20% of people who currently have individual coverage decide ObamaCare is too expensive and employers quit covering just 5% of employees because it's too expensive, ObamaCare will even fail to reduce the ranks of the uninsured despite its enormous costs, curtailments on liberty, and widespread dissatisfaction.
It's kind of funny how much information Obama demands from citizens and how little information citizens demand from him.
Next project for the Marxists:
Force every pet owner to purchase mandatory insurance. Not as impossible as one might think. Rabies shots are mandatory - so consider what else might be 'required' by mandate: damage liability, animal control costs, doggie park maintenance, neighbor complaints, pet adoption agencies, euthanasia, etc., etc.,
And the long-term societal effects of ObamaCare are way worse than most people think.
It will profoundly affect lifetime economic attitude and outcomes of people whose immediate income prospects are in the range of 300% and 600% of the poverty line. The nature of OC subsidies is that they are eliminated when a person or a family's income exceeds 400% of poverty line. For a married couple, this is $62040/year. For a couple in their mid-50s, earning just $1 over that threshold causes their tax bill to go up by about $7400, a 740,000% marginal income tax rate.
The marginal rate effect is not quite so large for younger people, but it is high enough to make it rational for many to aspire to 400% of poverty line, and no higher. This will cripple the work ethic and halt upward mobility, and thus achieve the Progressive egalitarian ideal (well, except for the ruling class, but they never were supposed to be equal to the hoi polloi.)
America RIP, brought to you by Hope'n'Change™.
So...when does the Insurance Market Death Spiral commence?
I think it got started on October 1.
If they get EITC they probably already get Medicaid.
Instead of looking for a free market solution, the Democrats used this 'crises' as an excuse to destroy the Health insurance business and gain control over millions of Americans via the IRS.
Young people could care less about 'fines'.

Master's Program in Aesthetics and Politics
Welcome! This is a program for artists and thinkers who are interested in the crossover of aesthetics and politics in the contemporary world. This program encourages new interrogations of the expanded field of the arts through readings of texts, artworks, group discussion and a rich calendar of public events.
About the Program
We offer a dynamic and intensive experience that develops a shared vocabulary and critical framework in which we discuss phenomena ranging from the Arab Spring to neo-benshi, from bioart to neoliberalism, from human rights to queer hiphop and third world cinema.
Students develop ideas through presenting ongoing written work in a discursive environment with peers and are encouraged to focus their work by choosing credits from a list of elective courses. We offer a set of core courses in aesthetic theory, political thought, critical discourse in the arts and the media, and theoretical writing that are the foundation of the degree. In addition, students are able to specialize in one of three areas of concentration--critical theory, global studies, or media and urban studies--to work towards a written thesis submitted at the end of the program. The program values individual development by providing one-to-one mentorship with specialists within your field, student fora and a rich variety of internationally renowned visiting speakers.
Selected applicants are awarded Teaching Assistantships that can be turned into a Research Assistantship in the Spring semester. All MA-candidates significantly improve their reading and writing skills, oral presentation skills, and creative and critical abilities during their one-year intensive training with us. The scope of the program enables students to achieve their ambitions in their career choices and opens the doors to new possibilities for life after postgraduate study. The program helps prepare students for careers in a range of vocations, including art criticism, critical art-making, curatorial practice, politics, research at PhD-level, and more.
For more information about our curriculum, faculty, and the events we have on offer, please click through the page-links on the left. Join us in Los Angeles for the year-long WHAP! series or contact our admissions counselor if you want to visit us and observe a class.
We look forward to welcoming you to CalArts.

Spring Break is No Break
by gwilson on Mar.20, 2010, under Uncategorized
There is a long-storied tradition in college education that about mid-way through the spring semester students are given a week off to catch up on sleep, rest, and schoolwork. The hope is that with this time off, students will be renewed and ready to refocus and finish the semester with a bang. But who am I kidding – many students use the time to work on their tans and act inappropriately on the beach or attack a ski slope. I guess these forms of escapism are useful in building focus for the remainder of the year.
What is less commonly mentioned is the fact that faculty need this break, too. For every dozen or so tired students needing to rest and catch up, there is a faculty member who needs it just as much. At McMurry we are just concluding spring break and will return to classes on Monday. Although rest and re-creation have been part of the formula for faculty, so has the "getting caught up" part of the equation.
Besides the normal "getting caught up" in our classes – grading in particular – the break has also been filled with other job-related activities. At the top of the list has been creation of the BIMS 4000 Junior Exam. One important component of our on-going program assessment and provision of evidence of student learning is the Junior Exam taken by all junior BIMS majors (thus the name ). It is an online exam composed of questions taken from all BIMS courses during the freshman and sophomore years. My responsibility is to collect these questions and input them into Moodle to create the exams. Students will take them as often as needed to obtain a passing score. Questions range from basic to advanced and cover all learning goals for BIMS majors. My goal is to have it ready for students by April 1st so they may have a month of unlimited attempts.
Also occupying Spring Break has been nearly daily work with our architect to refine the floorplan and equipment list for the microbiology and molecular biology labs to be renovated this summer. Though space will be tight, the facility will be a showcase of utility and student-centered learning spaces. Don't worry- there'll be plenty of updates on this as time goes on and everyone will be invited to the grand opening in the fall.
Can't wait til Spring Break is over so I can take a break!

Mechanically inclined
Riding her skateboard in skinny jeans anchored with Chuck Taylors, Aileen Melendez doesn't look like the sort of teenager who spends her free time prodding the insides of engines.
But the 18-year-old senior at Anaheim's Loara High could very well become the first female to win the National Automotive Technology Competition taking place in New York next week as part of the city's International Auto Show.
"I get stared at a lot," said Melendez, whose color-treated bob and Ray Bans belie her history as one of Loara's fiercest auto tech competitors. "One, because I'm a girl. And two, I'm this tiny 5'3 girl who looks like she's just into her hair and looks. It's funny to see the expression on guys' faces when they have to congratulate me on winning."
Melendez has been working on cars since she was 10, when her grandfather pulled the engine out of his 1953 Ford F-150 and Melendez asked if she could help. By age 13, she was changing the oil in her dad's Chevy Silverado. By age 14, she was competing in the national Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge.
She has since won that competition. Twice.
Now she's competing in the most esteemed contest of them all with her classmate and auto mechanic partner, Robert Loera, also a Loara High senior. For the past several months, Melendez and Loera have been "studying" seven days a week in the hopes they'll take next week's top prize.
Each day in school they attend the North Orange County Regional Occupation Program in Automotive Technology taught by Saul Garcia – a former Mercedes-Benz master technician. Two afternoons a week, they stay late after class, diagnosing the 2011 Kia Sorento Garcia bugs with various problems to test their skills. The Kia is one of several vehicles that are jacked up, hoods open, in Loara's working garage.
Outside of school, Melendez and Loera continue their Kia training at dealerships in Irvine and Garden Grove, where they fix cars alongside paid mechanics. On weekends, they work with dedicated coaches who are prepping them for two days of testing that starts with an interview and becomes progressively more demanding.
For six hours next week, the pair will be asked to demonstrate proper safety procedures and to build electrical circuits. They'll have to solder harnesses and come up with a diagnosis and service plan for a 2013 Kia Sorento that's been bugged to keep it from running.
Melendez is most interested in the internal workings of the engine. For Loera, electrical systems "just click," he said. Both of them will need to work together to demonstrate their proficiency with electronic measurement devices, diagnostic light meters and torque wrenches, after which the winners will walk away with $10,000 in tools, a $2,500 Snap-On toolbox, college scholarship money and the satisfaction of perpetuating a Loara tradition. Loara students won first place nationally in 2010 and placed second last year.
Already, Loera and Melendez each won expenses-paid trips to New York from the Orange County Auto Dealers Assn. for taking first in last month's Orange County Automotive Technology Competition. Both of them have been accepted to the University of Northwestern Ohio as a result. Melendez plans to attend and study automotive engineering; Loera said he needs to find more money.
Winning the national competition would be "a big accomplishment," said Loera, a former running back on Loara's football team until he developed a life-threatening blood clot in his brain. He transitioned to auto shop because he likes to use his hands.
Auto shop was also a transition for Melendez, who used to play French horn in the school's marching and concert bands but gave it up to focus her attention on mechanics.
"One of my biggest goals is to work for NASCAR and be involved with the engine-making process, making it go faster," said Melendez, who, like Loera, is of legal driving age but has yet to get her driver's license. Both of them have been too busy prepping for next week's competition to go the Department of Motor Vehicles.
For now, Loera walks to school. Melendez skateboards. Perhaps, someday, Melendez will get to swap those wheels for her dream car: A 1969 Camaro SS with an Edelbrock engine she'd like to supercharge and "just go crazy" – a dream she's working toward with next week's contest.

Baltimore Ravens
Quarterback: MVP Joe Flacco will become a very rich man after this gilded playoff run. His 11 TD passes without a pick match the greatest postseason performance ever, equalling some guy named Montana. And as he had throughout the playoffs, Flacco stood tall while firing seeds all over the field, none sprouting more fruit than his 56-yard scoring bomb to Jacoby Jones right before halftime. The best QB in the game? Maybe not. Elite? Forevermore. GRADE: A
RECAP: Ravens stave off 49ers' rally to take Super Bowl XLVII
CONTROVERSY: Did Ravens get away with crucial no-call?
Offense: Ray Rice and Bernard Pierce got some tough yards against the Niners' stout front seven even if chunks were hard to come by. However Rice's mysterious playoff fumbling issue resurfaced. But Flacco and Boldin repeatedly riddled a suspect secondary and seemed to go after nickelback Chris Culliver and the safeties. GRADE: B+
Defense: This group won't ever be confused with the airtight 2000 Ravens, especially not after allowing nearly 500 yards and ending the playoffs by allowing an average of 142 rushing yards. But Baltimore forced two turnovers. More importantly, the Ravens — with a little help from some quiet referees — stiffened (without injured Haloti Ngata) with the 49ers staked to a first-and-goal on the 7 in the closing minutes. GRADE: B
Special teams: Jones' 108-yard kickoff return tied a league record and ultimately provided a margin San Francisco couldn't overcome. Rookie Justin Tucker drilled four touchbacks and both field-goal tries. There were blemishes. Tucker couldn't get a first down off a field-goal sneak, squandering a Niners turnover, and punter Sam Koch's awful third-quarter punt set up a two-play 49ers TD drive. But Koch also killed 8 seconds at the end before taking a safety with 4 seconds left on the clock and blasted a booming free kick on the final play. GRADE B+
Coaching: John Harbaugh was bold. The fake field goal didn't work, but just about everything else (including the Koch safety) did. His team weathered the momentum-halting, 33-minute power outage and San Francisco's second-half surge. His decision to take Tucker's 19-yard fourth-quarter field goal rather than try to punch it from the 1-yard line proved to be the correct call. GRADE: A-
San Francisco 49ers
Quarterback: Like his first playoff start against the Green Bay Packers last month, Colin Kaepernick was shaky early — he threw the first interception in Niners Super Bowl history — but found his sea legs soon enough. Even with his team in a 22-point, third-quarter hole, the sophomore passer never panicked and fell just 5 yards short of notching the franchise's sixth Lombardi Trophy by game's end. With 364 combined passing/running yards and two TDs, it appears this quarterback of the future certainly has a bright one. GRADE B+
Offense: Kaepernick's turnover and LaMichael James' first-half fumble certainly hurt. San Francisco was only 2-for-9 on third downs. And with three cracks from the Ravens' 5-yard line on the final drive, San Francisco couldn't punch in the decisive touchdown as three passes fell incomplete. But the team's resilience was commendable, and the 468 total yards were 101 more than Baltimore's. GRADE B-
NINERS: Kaepernick's late heroics not enough
Defense: The Niners largely contained the Ravens on the ground (93 yards). But previous playoff form held as Flacco remained hot while San Francisco's secondary looked shot. Nickelback Chris Culliver capped an embarrassing week by getting beaten multiple times before being called for pass interference, extending a drive that ended with a crucial Baltimore field goal. GRADE D+
Special teams: After the worst season of his career, David Akers hit all three of his field-goal attempts, gutting out the final 34-yard one after being injured on a roughing penalty. But surrendering the kickoff return to Jones was a crippling blow. GRADE C-
Coaching: Jim Harbaugh couldn't grimace his way to victory this time. He was able to rally the troops during the third-quarter delay, though the Niners never did claim a lead. And they didn't seem prepared when Koch ran off 8 seconds before taking a safety on the Ravens' final play. And as well as the Niners ran the ball, why not try at least one more read-option on the failed final drive from the 5? GRADE C

A Darrell Gardner Memorial run was held on June 10 at the Emery High track. Hundreds of runners and walkers showed up to honor Gardner in the best way they knew how, to run. Running was an integral part of Coach Gardner's life as not many days slipped by without a good run. Gardner ran in several events throughout the years.
Organizers sold T-shirts with Coach Gardner's favorite saying on them, "Pain is Temporary, Pride is forever, shut up and run." They had a raffle with donations from county businesses to raise funds for the family. A donation jar was set-up to collect funds for the family.
The first group of runners and walkers went for a mile around the Emery High track. Then a large group of runners went out on the course which Coach Gardner had laid out for his cross country and distance runners for track and ran a 5k.
Afterwards everyone gathered on the field and the raffle items were drawn for and distributed. A table was set-up for everyone to write notes to the family and the notes will be made into cards.
A petition was organized to gather signatures to rename the track at Emery High in honor of Coach Gardner.
Coach Gardner's family attended the event and took their turn on the track to honor their husband, son, and father.

Popular Entertainment
This Museum's popular entertainment collections hold some of the Smithsonian's most beloved artifacts. The ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz reside here, along with the Muppet character Kermit the Frog, and props from popular television series such as M*A*S*H and All in the Family. But as in many of the Museum's collections, the best-known objects are a small part of the story.
The collection also encompasses many other artifacts of 19th- and 20th-century commercial theater, film, radio, and TV—some 50,000 sound recordings dating back to 1903; posters, publicity stills, and programs from films and performances; puppets; numerous items from World's Fairs from 1851 to 1992; and audiovisual materials on Groucho Marx, to name only a few.

Digi-Comp 1 Toy Computer
- Description
- In the mid-1960s, most children had never seen an electronic computer. However, they had heard stories of the power of these giant instruments and knew that they were associated with space flight. This toy brought the mathematical principles of the digital computer into the home. The manual describes several problems that could be set up, including a basic check out of whether the device was functioning properly, counting down from 7 to 1 in binary, logical riddles, and the game of NIM. There is a special piece that can be used to represent the logical operation "or." The toy was made by E.S.R., Inc. of Orange and Montclair, New Jersey. It sold for about $5.00.

Perfect for Him

too narrow
"I ordered a 9 "EXTRA WIDE" because my feet are just too wide to comfortably fit most of the WIDE width shoes in the store. That's why I thought that I might try the mail-order route. Bad idea. Even though the description said EXTRA WIDE, when I put on the shoe I felt like it was still about as narrow as a MEDIUM width compared to most of the shoes I had tried on earlier at the store. DSW used to carry Skechers oxfords in EXTRA WIDE in their store, but somehow don't seem to do so anymore. I probably won't try mail order for shoes anymore -- just get what's in-store or go to another shoe retailer."

"My daughter loves them."

"This boot is exactly what I was looking for! Beautiful detailing in the stitching on the top of the boot and up the lacing. Supple, soft leather-like material on the outside, and a soft lining as well. Good snug fit all the way up (with adjustable laces) and hits me perfectly under the knee. It's a tiny bit wide in the ankle, but actually is perfect to layer in warm socks and still have mobility.Only real downside is a lack of tread on the bottom of the pretty wooden sole, so beware of ice! Otherwise, I am in LOVE with this boot. I may have to purchase them in brown now......"

cute but not cute
"I bought this shoe in golden and not the black. I thought it looked cute in picture but it seemed a bit brighter in person. I am 5'2 and when I sat down, I was crunching the top of the leg part of the boot behind my knee. That bothered me a lot because the material is kind of stiff and I am sure a big ugly crease will be visible over time. Over all, it felt cheesy wearing it. Maybe if it was a darker color, it'd be ok on the eyes or else you'll look like you're wearing really, really tall Timberland boots."

Jerry LewisActor / Comedian / Filmmaker
Born: 16 March 1926
Birthplace: Newark, New Jersey
Best known as: Host of the annual Jerry Lewis telethon
Name at birth: Joseph Levitch
Slapstick and funny-face specialist Jerry Lewis was one of the top movie comedians of the 1950s and 1960s. Lewis and Dean Martin were a hugely successful comedy team of stage, screen and radio. They made a string of popular movies from 1949 to 1956, with Martin as the straight man and Lewis as the zany cut-up. After they ended their partnership, Lewis went on to produce, direct and star in comedies such as The Bellboy and The Nutty Professor. Lewis is widely known for his annual Labor Day telethon, a charitable event raising money to fight muscular dystrophy. Lewis was given the Jean Hersholt humanitarian award at the 2009 Academy Awards, honoring him as "an individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry."
Extra credit:
Prednisone treatments for a lung ailment caused Lewis to gain a great deal of weight in 2002. For more details, see this 2002 BBC report… In the 1990s Lewis was a hit playing the Devil in the revival of the stage play Damn Yankees… Lewis received the French Legion of Honor in 1984; his extreme popularity in France has become a running gag with some American comedians… Lewis's longtime co-host on his annual telethon is Ed McMahon… Lewis was never nominated for an Oscar in his acting or directing career. However, he did co-host the Oscar ceremonies in 1956, 1957 and 1959.

Virgin Blue Advises of Changes to Fuel Surcharges and Fares14/03/2011
Virgin Blue Group of Airlines today announced it would increase fares and international fuel surcharges in response to further rises in global fuel prices.
Virgin Blue announced international fuel surcharges and increases to baggage charges on 17 February, since then, jet fuel prices have risen by a further 10% to more than US$130 per barrel.
Virgin Blue Group of Airlines CEO and Managing Director John Borghetti said that high fuel prices would have a significant impact on the operating costs of airlines worldwide.
"Oil prices are reaching increasingly high levels, with the average price of Singapore Jet Fuel rising by around 50% since September 2010, from US$88 a barrel to US$131". Mr Borghetti said.
The following changes will apply to tickets sold from 21 March 2011:
- International long haul fuel surcharges on V Australia flights will increase as follows:
- Los Angeles and other USA destinations will change from AUD$115 each way to AUD$165 each way.
- Abu Dhabi/Europe/UK will change from AUD$220 each way to AUD$240 each way.
- International short haul fares on Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue flights will increase by up to AUD$20 per sector. Exact increases will vary according to sector.
- Domestic fares will increase by between AUD$6 and $10 per sector. Exact increases will vary according to sector.
"The increases announced today go some way to addressing the latest rises in global fuel prices; however they will not recover the full cost. In making these changes, we have been very conscious of balancing our commitment to providing competitive fares with the operational costs of our business". Mr Borghetti said.
"We will continue to closely monitor fuel prices and consider increases or decreases to our fuel surcharges and fares in line with changes in market conditions".

There are soooo many ways to recolor things... we won't cover them ALL here, but we will cover the basics and get you experimenting. :)
Now... I have used a number of recoloring techniques on this layout and will cover them all. The techniques I didn't use, I will cover seperately in a few minutes. Here are the main pieces I started with...
1. For my photo editing... you can see my Photo Blending III - Photo Effects tutorial on secrets to getting great effects on your photo... here I actually used an action that I made... (keep an eye out for that! Don't worry... I'll tell you when and where you can find it very soon.) :)
2. Now... I started with the gray paper. I REALLY liked the subtle and elegant pattern on it... it just seemed to go with the mood of the photo. But the color just wasn't right. I really liked the color of this paper from the same kit, but it only came in a solid:
So... I needed to merge them. In order to simply change the color but keep the pattern... I placed the gray patterned paper on my layout... then I placed my peach paper on top of it and changed it's blending mode to Color. This allowed the color of the peach paper to stay in place but allowed the pattern of the gray paper beneath to show through.
Now... keep in mind that sometimes the blending mode of Color works for this, but sometimes, Luminosity may work better. It depends on the 2 papers you're mixing together. Also, keep in mind that it will not be the exact color after the merge... it will probably be a little lighter... but you can always play with the Variations to get the look you want... (more on that below). There are also TONS of possiblites with altering the colors of paper using your blending modes... i'll show some more examples at the end of this tutorial that might help.
Also, keep in mind that just as with photos... you can get ALL KINDS OF different effects using blending modes and papers. Don't be afraid of experimenting here. I've blended as many as 6 or 7 papers into each other before to pick up texture from some and color from others. Just place a piece of paper on top of one and see what you get. Be careful though... it can get quite addicting. :)
1.) Now... I liked the brown color of the paper I used to clip to my "ATTENTION" title, but I felt it looked a tad washed out when I got it on there. A simple "darkening" using my Variations easily fixed that. On your top menu, choose Image, then choose Adjustments and then choose Variations.
2.) When your Variations box pops up... you can determine how you want to change the color. I simply wanted to keep my paper here the same color... I just wanted to make it darker. So I set it to right in the middle of Fine----Corse, chose Midtones, (which applys your changes to the item overall) and clicked the very bottom right one... this darkened it for me.
Here is the before and after:
Now... on this layout, I used a word art and wanted to add some punch to it. I used the Paint Bucket tool. (You can also use the Color Overlay feature for changing the color of word art, but since I wanted more that one color on this one, I used the Paint Bucket tool. For more information on using the Color Overlay feature, see steps 2 & 3 of the Turning Elements into Stickers tutorial.)
Here is the word art I started with:
1.) Choose your Paint Bucket tool from your tools palette as shown below:
4.) Now, let's choose our color. I usually choose a color directly from my photo. To do that, click on your Foreground Color box as shown below:
5.) When your Color Picker box comes up, simply click on a color from your photo that you like (in my case... I like the color of her shirt). It will automatically pull that color from your photo and change your Foreground Color to match perfectly. Then just click ok.
6.) Ok... now, (making sure your word art layer is active) use your Paint Bucket tool and click on each circle/letter you want to be that color.
7.) Now, click on your Foreground Color box again and choose another color from your photo and do the same thing. Again... here is our finished result:
I would LOVE to know what you think of this tutorial. Feel free to leave comments. If you have any questions regarding this tutorial, you can certainly email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I would also love to hear what type of tutorials YOU would like to see! While your here, drop a note in the SUGGESSTIONS box! If I don't know how to do what you are asking, I will find out! Then we can learn something new together!!!
You can find a PRINTABLE version of this tutorial (and all of my others) in the Tutorial Section at Oscraps!

News Release

Patrick-Murray Administration awards $41.8 Million in Construction Grants through the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners
BOSTON – October 4, 2012 – The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners today announced that they have awarded eight communities General Construction Provisional Grants awards. Governor Patrick increased funding for the Public Library Construction Program in the administration's FY13-FY17 Capital Plan to allow for these eight additional grants, which will assist with the cost of construction over the course of the next few years.
"Public libraries are a valuable resource for cities, towns and residents across the Commonwealth," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "These grants, and others before it, will assist municipalities with construction of top-notch, environmentally-conscious facilities that will serve residents for many years to come."
The grants, which provide crucial funding to local libraries for repairs and updates, are part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's commitment to providing valuable resources to the Commonwealth's cities and towns.
"We're fortunate that the Patrick-Murray Administration and the Legislature understand the importance of libraries" said MBLC Chair Frank Murphy. "The success of this program and our ability to award grants that have such a significant local community impact come from working collaboratively with Governor Patrick's office and local community leaders," he added.
The average grant award is 50% of the eligible costs with the remaining cost incurred by the town.
Communities receiving grants are as follows:
|Reading Public Library
|Belmont Public Library
|Edgartown Free Public Library
|Salisbury Public Library
|Framingham Public Library, McAuliffe Branch
|Scituate Town Library
|Shrewsbury Public Library
|Russell Memorial Library
All eight libraries plan to obtain the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification which will qualify them to receive additional state funding through the Green Library Incentive. The Green Library Incentive was created by the Board of Library Commissioners in 2008 so that libraries can plan energy efficient systems and construction at the outset of the project. For these grant recipients Green Library Incentives totaling $837,659 to $1,465,903 will be available depending on the level of LEED certification.
Many public libraries, some built over 100 years ago, struggle to meet the growing demand for library services and lack handicap accessiblity. The Massachusetts Public Library Construction Program (MPLCP) assists local communities with building new or renovating and expanding existing libraries.
"Advances in technology have only increased the demand and need for library services," said MBLC Commissioner and Building Committee Liaison Greg Shesko. "Residents are using their libraries for access to technology and also as community spaces where programs and other activities help them learn new skills and get to know their neighbors. These grants will help libraries meet residents' needs now and into the future."
During the next nine months grant recipients will work with their community to gain the local match funding necessary to move forward with the grant. "Local support is really key to the success of a project because it ensures that each project meets the unique needs of its residents," said Rosemary Waltos, MBLC Construction Specialist.
Funding for the MPLCP was authorized by Governor Deval Patrick and the Legislature in the General Governmental Needs Bond Bill in 2008. This is the second round of grants awarded since July 2011 when libraries in Athol, Everett, Grafton, Granby, Shutesbury, South Hadley, West Springfield and West Tisbury received provisional grant awards and the initial waiting list was created. In May 2012, the Board approved the addition of projects in Somerville, Stoughton, Hatfield, Sherborn and Leicester to the existing waiting list. Athol, Everett, Granby, South Hadley, West Springfield and West Tisbury have projects underway. Construction on the East Boston Branch of the Boston Public Library, which is currently on the waiting list, began in April 2011.
The Governmental Needs Bond Bill also funded the 2008 grant round in which the communities of Mattapan (the Mattapan Branch of the Boston Public Library), Buckland, Foxborough, Dudley, Holyoke, Mashpee, Walpole, Westhampton, Millis, Boxford, Falmouth and Westwood completed or are nearing completion of library projects.
The Massachusetts Public Library Construction Program was first funded in 1987. Since then the program has assisted nearly two hundred communities in building new libraries or in renovating and expanding existing libraries. For more information please visit the MBLC's website http://mblc.state.ma.us/
About MBLC
The Board of Library Commissioners (mass.gov/mblc) is the agency of state government with the statutory authority and responsibility to organize, develop, coordinate and improve library services throughout the Commonwealth. The Board advises municipalities and library trustees on the operation and maintenance of public libraries, including construction and renovation. It administers state and federal grant programs for libraries and promotes cooperation among all types of libraries through regional library systems and automated resource sharing. It also works to ensure that all residents of the Commonwealth, regardless of their geographic location, social or economic status, age, level of physical or intellectual ability or cultural background, have access to essential new electronic information technologies and significant electronic databases.

|In response to Re: Installing Drop In Tub
: I'm installing a new soaking tub in a bathroom remodel, I read the advice of installing a whirlpool tub and think all applies structurely.
I will leave an inch of clearance under the tub and put cement down to set the tub. My question (being a mechanic and always having to work on others designs) is how am I to remove the tub in the future, when plumbing repairs are to be made. I will try to have accesses in the floor and there will kind of be an access in the wall behind drain and vent, (pocket door back there). What do you think about a heavy mil plastic over the cement before setting the tub.
: Thanks ,
: Joe
Others have mentioned the plastic between tub and mortar. It should work fine. Terry

Harris was the owner and operator of a commodities distribution business under the name of Revolution Holdings, Inc. located in St. George, Utah. Through Revolution Holdings, Inc., Harris purportedly supplied commodities of all kinds all over the world by obtaining and arranging for shipping of the commodities. Harris conducted business by, among other things, entering into contracts with customers and having the customers wire money into his personal accounts.
Harris pleaded guilty to wire fraud and willfully failing to file federal income tax returns. According to the plea agreement documents, from about July 2008 to about July 2009, Harris defrauded DJD International Solutions, LLC and American Quality Importers, LLC who were trying to purchase large quantities of cement. In order to obtain money from them, Harris made intentionally false and fraudulent representations including telling these companies he had purchased and delivered large shipments of cement to prior customers when he had not. Harris told them that he owned a large quantity of cement when he did not, and he sent the companies fraudulent documents purporting to be from third parties indicating that I had fulfilled large-scale cement contracts in the past and had arranged shipping vessels to transport cement when he had not. Harris also pleaded guilty to willfully failing to file federal income tax returns for the income he received.
"This should be a wake-up call to those in the commodities business that fraud and failing to file income tax returns can result in stiff penalties" said IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent Virginia Keys. "IRS Criminal Investigation is committed to investigating crimes such as these to ensure those who commit such crimes will be held accountable."
This case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office in the District of Utah with the assistance of IRS Criminal Investigation, United States Secret Service, and Homeland Security Investigations.

Once notified of the gift, a recipient clicks the link in the text, e-mail or Facebook post. He must create a Giftly account to accept the funds, and then Giftly credits the gift amount to the bank or payment card account he has designated.
Giftly users who log in to the app using Facebook also can use the app to view Giftly members' check-ins and birthdays.
20% of Giftly transactions are processed via the app, a Giftly spokeswoman says. The rest are via the web site. Giftly sold approximately 25,000 gifts in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of this year, equating to about $1.5 million in volume, she says.
