211 information call line introduced at Ligonier Valley center
The Ligonier Valley Center for Active Adults recently conducted an information session about PA 211 Southwest — a telephone hotline number used to quickly and effectively connect people with human service providers and to community resources.
The United Way of Westmoreland County initiated program was launched in Westmoreland County in July 2011. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Norma Mosser aging care manager for Westmoreland County Area Agency on Aging described 211 as a "cradle to the grave" number, offering information and connections for a wide variety of topics, such as child services, veteran affairs and tax help for senior citizens.
"I think the United Way is doing a great job with this number," Mosser said. "Here in Westmoreland County we're very fortunate to have so many agencies. However, getting to the right one is a challenge. That's why having 211 streamline this process will greatly help. It's a win-win for everybody, because it is providing the community with resources and it is also helping to identify where there are gaps and where we need to develop more resources to address the needs of the community."
According to Mosser, since 211 was adopted in Pennsylvania, the quantity of 1-800 numbers has decreased. This has decreased the need for staffing and increased the amount of money for resources, making them more accessible to the public. Mosser explained that there are 450 toll-free lines in Pennsylvania, and using these numbers, the average caller makes four to seven calls before finding the proper resource.
"If you are in a crisis, you don't have time to make four to seven phone calls. 211 is a streamlined process, so that you get a direct line," Mosser said. "When you call 211 the phone lines are staffed by trained, certified resource navigators to help you through this system. You get a real live person who listens to what you need and directs you appropriately."
Additionally, Mosser said local 911 dispatchers have experienced a reduction in calls for non-emergency situations. The callers instead speak to 211 operators who have access to a large database, which is frequently updated with information provided by partner Catholic Charities of Westmoreland County. In December, 211 recorded 120 callers, that number almost quadrupled in January, she said.
"It was really amazing to me that so many people are using the number. It's great that the number is getting out there and the usage is increasing," Mosser said. "There are so many needs that are out there, 211 is just making it easier access these services. We are hoping that by using 211 people will become very familiar with the resources that are out there and get to the people what they need quicker."
A hotline website is also available at www.pa211sw.org to enable users to search a database of more than 5,000 human services programs.

Antique Electric Toaster 1922 Armstrong Table Stove NR
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Furniture & Furnishings
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jan 08, 2007
- Channel: Auction House
This light blue all-in-one appliance was the perfect thing for someone living in a one room apartment, boarding house, fraternity or college dorm room in the 1920s. We are selling it "as found" without the chord and no attempt to clean up.
This pieces served as a single burner hot plate; toaster; broiler & oven (not sure about that one).
It includes:
- deep tray (square pot)on the bottom - aluminum with wooden handle - presumably can be used on bottom to broil or on top to boil
- flat tray (square pan) - aluminum with wooden handle - presumably can be used on bottom to broil or on top to fry, saute', scramble etc ...
- one slice toaster tray
- iron grease pan
The label says:
" Armstrong Table Stove
The Armstrong Mfg. Co. Huntington, W.VA. USA
Patented Oct-9-17 Apr-23-18 Dec-12-22
No. 8-B
110 volts 600 watts"
It's possibly something t's a toaster collector who still doesn't have one, OR a prop purchaser for the movie industry would find quite useful in a 1920s set piece. I don't know why, but I can imagine something like this in an old movie with Jack Lemon or Tony Curtis.
A vintage ad I saw on ebay described it this way: "Do you enjoy your own entertaining? It's much more fun to bring your stove in... read more

Even though you were taxed at 10% verses my 99% you would pay more in taxes than I did. When making these comparisons it better to look at percent compared to income.
See Baseline Tables: Distribution of Income and Taxes; Baseline: Current Law, by Cash Income Level, 2004-2022
So how much of every dollar that I earn should I be allow to keep? If I earn $1.00, should I be allowed to keep $0.90? $0.80? $0.70? $0.60? $0.50? $0.40? $0.30? $0.20? $0.10? Nothing? Out of that $1.00 earned, please tell me how many cents I should be allowed to keep?
If you earn $1.00, please tell me how many cents you should be allowed to keep?
My sister (the Liberal) used to live in Sweden. I learned a lot about Sweden, even though I didn't intend to. Their Healthcare system is single payer and on the surface looks great...everyone gets it. But, a little closer look yields these facts:
My sister has severe back problems due to a couple of car accidents, one many years ago and one about 6 years ago when she was rear ended at a stop light during a police chase of a drunken driver.
ok, facts:
It can take 2-3 months to get a doctor's appointment, even with a non-specialist.
Once you see the doctor and he orders an MRI...it can take another 2-3 months to get the MRI
Then, another 4 weeks to have someone read the MRI
Then another 3-6 weeks for the follow up appointment
She needed back surgery but was told that they wanted her to try a year of Physical Therapy first. (remember that rationed care thing?) She tried it for about a month but was in so much pain she couldn't do it. She existed on strong pain medication and was getting very depressed.
I made her an appointment with a Neurosurgeon in Maryland and she flew back to the US for a consult. He ordered an MRI...which they did that afternoon, he read it about 20 minutes after and scheduled her for surgery 4 days later. She needed rods, screws, a Vetebraplasty and who knows what else. Anyway, long story short...she's 100% better. She went back to Sweden 6 weeks later and saw her doctor. He was stunned that she had had the surgery she needed so fast.
Sweden has an almost 58% income tax, 26% corporate tax and 25% VAT tax! That's a lot of tax and most of it goes into their medical program. Many Swedes hide their money in Spain, it's called "Black money". Their taxes are due to go up and this is a small country with a fraction of our population. Can you imagine what our Healthcare is going to be like here in about 10 years?
So, to keep this On Topic...I'm moving to Texas.
I don't know what bottom earners think, and just because a guy is working for minimum wage doesn't make him any worse or better than someone who makes $1,000,000 a year. How should one "better" themselves? Maybe if they declare bankruptcy and get out of their debts, and take unemployment and live off the system rather than working 2 or more low wage jobs and honoring their debts would be bettering themselves in your view since they would earn more and pay less in taxes (they wouldn't have to pay payroll taxes if they don't have a job).
All of this equating someones value to their net-worth is one of the main things that is wrong with this country, it seems that many people think someone's wealth matters more than how they treat others and how they conduct themselves. Just because someone is fixing your car doesn't make them beneath you or anyone else.
If you and I made a $1.00 how much of it should we keep all of it minus the services that we demand of our government. I believe that we are all created equally and that all income and we should all be taxed equally and that all income should be treated equally. So we should all be taxed the same.
The current wage income tax is the high rate of 35% for the working class. If you made a flat tax of 35% it would require guys like Romney (14.1%) and Buffet to pay more money at an equal rate. Why is this so unfair?
Much of the 1%, like Buffet, Rockefeller, Reid, Pelosi, Kerry live off of estate wealth, not income tax because their vast wealth does not come from income per se. That's why they don't care how high the income tax goes on others, it won't effect them. Now, I'd be all for taxing wealth at a higher rate but just try proposing that and watch the Libs who want higher taxes back off faster than a Walker with a head shot.
"we keep all of it minus the services that we demand of our government" We would have to agree to the cost of the services that we demand from our government, I don't have an amount but for me I would guess that it would be far less than the 35% that is the current rate
So if we have a flat tax, how many cents should we be able to keep for every $1.00 we earn? How many cents goes to us and how many cents goes to taxes?
The only way we'll ever have enough tax money to provide for the infrastructure and secure the borders is to cut spending and eliminate unnecessary bureaucratic agencies, waste and fraud. If we did that we'd probably all pay much less in taxes. The Federal government is bloated and it's powers reach way beyond what was intended under the Constitution.
Right now we are 16 TRILLION dollars in debt. The debt is structured that we will soon be 25 TRILLION in debt.
When Cities go bankrupt they go to the State for money. When States go broke they go to the Federal Government. Where does the Federal Government go? THE UNITED NATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a
child." ~Dr. Seuss
On March 1, 2013, the
National Education Association (NEA) will celebrate ReadAcross America Day. The
NEA represents over 3 million K-12 teachers, higher education faculty, education support staff, school
administrators, retired educators, and more.
It is the largest professional employee organization working towards
advancing the cause of public education across the nation.
Read Across
America Day is celebrating its sixteenth year in the United States. The day was
created by a small group of NEA members with the goal to get kids excited about
reading. The theme for 2013 is "Grab your Hat and Read with the Cat" which
suits itself as this day is celebrated on the birthday of iconic author Dr. Seuss.
The NEA has been
the spearhead for promoting this day over the years with additional support
from nonprofit organizations across the country. Read Across America Day is not
only encouraged in schools, but is encouraged to be recognized everywhere in
the community—libraries, hospitals, community centers, bookstores, churches,
and more.
The College of Public Service and Center for Public Service would like to recognize this day and
encourage educators and beyond to get out there and promote reading. You can
discover which tools will help you inspire students to pick up a book on Read
Across America Day and open the door to lifelong reading.

ANZ getting on top of XSS flaw
Page Tools
For the last 10 months, the ANZ website has been vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. Today the bank said it was aware of the problem and was working to resolve it.
Cross-site scripting, commonly referred to as XSS, is an exploit where information from one context, where it is not trusted, can be inserted into another context, where it is trusted. Then an attack is launched from the trusted context.
Last year, British tech researcher Sam Greenhalgh provided demonstrations of injecting HTML into the ANZ, Commonwealth Bank and Westpac sites using scripts he had written himself.
The Commonwealth and Westpac sites have since fixed the flaws.
An ANZ spokeswoman said: "The approach taken to date has been to focus our attention on pages on our website that link through to ANZ internet banking, and upgrade pages as appropriate. Any remaining affected pages of the website will then be updated.
"We need to be mindful that there will be a trade-off in the web page's performance, hence we need to keep the customer's experience in mind when developing solutions and not take a 'one-size-fits-all' approach.
"To keep our website secure, we also conduct periodic internal and external security testing of our applications and our technology team is kept up to date with current vulnerabilities. We also see customer education as a key aspect of our security, which is why we have concentrated on promoting customer awareness of security issues through our Protect Your Banking feature on our ANZ Internet Banking log-on page and through the media."
Asked when the bank had become aware of the flaw, the spokeswoman said: "We were of the issue at the time your article was written and... the reason why it is not completely fixed is because we had to ensure that it doesn't significantly impact web page performance and hence customise our solutions."
Mr Greenhalgh gained prominence two years ago when he discovered a URL spoofing flaw in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser.

KLab Architecture shared their latest project, a Placebo pharmacy in Athens, with us. By wrapping the existing orthagonal footprint in a dynamic circular skin, KLab has created a sophisticated spiraling form which seeks to create a relationship with the rapid motion of Vouliagmenis Avenue, the urban artery on which the building stands. The 600 sqm structure houses a pharmacy on the ground floor and ancillary office space on the upper mezzanine. Clad in metal panels that are perforated using Braille – a move that both alludes to the system's use on pharmaceutical packaging and boosts visibility by allowing the light to find its way into the interior – the compositional quality of the material selection creates a polished exterior that attracts passers-by.
More images and more about the project after the break.

What Happens After I Submit My Hardcopy or On-line Application?
Assuming your fee reaches FCC as required, the FCC processing time for Vanity applications is 18 days. If you have not heard anything from FCC in 30 days, you should contact the FCC regarding your application.

When Can I Begin Using my New Vanity Call Sign?
Once you have learned, through any FCC data source, that you have been granted a new Vanity call sign, you can immediately begin using the call sign. The FCC stopped routinely printing and mailing licenses in February 2015. Depending on the license paper preferences you set in the FCC system, an official license will be sent via email or printed and sent by mail. There are a number of ways a license holder can obtain an official copy of their license.
Licensees can find the instructions on the VE Resources web page in the section titled "Obtain a License Copy".
What if, After I'm Granted a Vanity Call Sign, I Decide I Would Like My Old Call Sign Back?
Some amateurs find that no one knows them under their new vanity call sign identity, and they don't desire to wait to let the new identity sink in. In such cases the applicant would like to get the call sign back that they gave up when they applied for their vanity call sign. Is there a way to accomplish this? The answer is yes, so long as the call sign they surrendered has not yet been reassigned to someone else (surrendered call signs are available only to former holders; or members of a deceased amateur's family, or to a club where the deceased amateur was a member--with permission of the family; within the first two years after the call sign was surrendered or cancelled).
The solution is to submit another vanity call sign 605 application. On the Form 605 "Schedule D" list that the vanity call sign being chosen is your former call sign. Yes, this means you get your former call back--and it becomes a vanity call sign (but that's the small price you pay for being able to get your former call sign back). Some vanity call sign holders use this same mechanism to obtain a vanity call sign that they consider even more desirable than their current vanity call or former call sign (choices like a call sign that includes their initials is common).

Hi all,
For too long, the bill for wildlife conservation has largely rested on the shoulders of the country's hunters and anglers despite the fact that many sectors of society benefit from the protection of our natural heritage. Though these individuals may have the most direct interaction with wildlife, the funding provided by bills such as Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson falls short of the existing need for funding conservation of both game and non-game species. Fortunately, this week a potential solution was introduced.
Late on Thursday, Congressman Don Young (R-AK) and Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-MI) introduced bipartisan legislation that stands to be the biggest funding boon for wildlife since Pittman-Robertson. Recovering America's Wildlife Act (H.R. 5650) calls for $1.3 billion in existing revenue from energy development on federal lands and waters to be dedicated to the Wildlife Conservation Restoration Program. This funding would then be distributed to the states and used to enact state level conservation action plans like Texas' TCAP.
This bill follows the recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Panel on Sustaining America's Diverse Fish & Wildlife Resources. The Panel, which was comprised of national business and conservation leaders, reviewed a variety of alternative funding methods before settling on utilizing the existing revenue from the development of energy and mineral resources. They reached this decision in part because it was a sustainable revenue source that would meet the national need, and also because it would ensure future generations would benefit from the extraction of nonrenewable resources. The business of producing energy (oil, natural gas, wind, water, etc.) relies on healthy ecosystems, so it is in the best interest of both energy companies and the public for those ecosystems to be maintained.
Though this is a national bill, the potential effects for Texas are astronomical. This is truly an exciting time for the wildlife profession and everyone concerned with protecting Texas' natural heritage. We'll be providing updates on legislation as things progress, so be sure to continue to monitor the blog and our social media channels.
On May 9, 2016, President Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law making the bison our National Mammal, a designation that has been a long time goal of coalition member, the Texas Bison Association (TBA) as well as their many supporters. It was refreshing to see, in this day and age, bipartisan congressional support for the bill. Of course, the bison is the perfect choice for such an illustrious title as National Mammal.
Has any other mammal had the impact on this country's cultural and natural history as the bison? From sustaining our indigenous peoples for untold generations to being a vital economic driver, the bison formed the foundation for much of the nation's early history. As a keystone species, the historic herds of millions of bison roaming the prairies and plains of the country worked to actually create those habitats. Bison grazing stimulated plant growth. Bison hooves by the millions trampled invading brush and scored the soil surface increasing water infiltration. And of course, tons of bison manure helped to build the famously fertile prairie soils which today provide so much of our food.
It is only fitting that our National Mammal be a species that has benefited from the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. The bison was one of the country's first conservation success stories as ranchers, hunters, conservationists, and bison enthusiasts of all kinds worked individually and collectively to save the species from impending extinction in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Granted, habitat fragmentation prevents bison from freely roaming the nation's grasslands leading to the species' current status as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need here in Texas but thanks to the concerted efforts of groups like the TBA in Texas and around the country, the species will survive and the U.S. will always be home to an icon.

NOTE: As I wrote this another Coalition member, the Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, announced the birth of the first bison calf of the year for their herd. Visit www.fwnaturecenter.org for more information on this public bison herd.
Tomorrow, April 22, marks the 47th annual Earth Day celebration.
On April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans across the country demonstrated in order to advocate for the importance of a healthy, sustainable environment. These demonstrations were a collaboration of bipartisan groups that were concerned with everything from oil spills to pesticide use to deforestation and resulted in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts.
Since then, Earth Day has become a global event with over 22,000 organizations in 192 countries participating. This makes it the largest secular event across the globe.
While this is undoubtedly impressive, especially in comparison to the amount of press and attention conservation efforts usually are afforded, it is not enough. Healthy, sustainable environments aren't something that can be maintained through once-a-year participation. If you're reading this blog, you probably already know that. You are likely already one of the thousands of individuals or organizations who dedicate their time, money, etc., to the betterment of the natural world throughout the year, but this year we ask that you take that one step further.
One of the greatest things we can do to protect the wildlife and environments around us is to impress upon those closest to us the importance of these things throughout the year, not just on Earth Day. With that in mind, we ask that you talk to those closest to you about what they can do to support conservation here at home. Whether that's talking to your boss about recycling at work or to your church group about signing up to be a member of Teaming With Wildlife: True To Texas, reminding people about the importance of preserving our Texas sized portion of the Earth is of the utmost importance.
Hello all,
Together with the Friends of Tandy Hills Natural area (FOTHNA), Texas Wesleyan University, the City of Fort Worth's Park & Recreation Department (PARD), Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's Conservation License Plate Grants (TPWD), & Texas Nature Trackers, Teaming With Wildlife: True To Texas is pleased to sponsor the first ever BioBlitz at Tandy Hills Natural Area in Fort Worth.
The Tandy Hills Natural Area BioBlitz will focus on documenting all living species at the park over a continuous 36 hour time period (Friday, April 22, 2016, 6:00 am – Saturday, April 23, 2016, 6:00 pm). Scientists and naturalists from across the state will lead and supervise this photo documentation and data collection blitz which will form a permanent and valuable snapshot of biological life at Tandy Hills. Community members and volunteers are invited to observe science in action and participate by making their own contributions via iNaturalist while exploring the urban prairie.
If at all possible, we highly encourage you to join us in this effort to document the biodiversity of this 160 acre park.

Why is My Flight Delayed? An Air Traffic Controller Explains
Starting Monday, air traffic controllers at John F. Kennedy International airport are going to have to work with one less runway. The busiest and longest runway, which handles about 40 percent of the airport's traffic will be widened and much of the concrete will be replaced. The Port Authority plans to reopen the expanded runway on June 30.
Photo Gallery: Go inside the control tower at JFK.
Stephen Abraham, the local president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, and an air traffic controller for 20 years, says JFK is losing about 50 percent of its departure capacity. Below, he explains how JFK's controllers have prepared for this major change and how travelers will be affected. He says delays could be 'astronomical.'
You can find more statistics about JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty airports at the Bureau of Transportation Statistics website.

Meet September 27, 2003
Revolution held a "Prep-Meet" for all of its compulsory
gymnasts last Saturday.
This "Training Meet" was run exactly as a true
competition would be run, except that scoring was handled by
the optional gymnasts, rather than official judges.
event was an opportunity for the gymnasts to hone their
skills, and experience the pressure of competition again.
For some girls, it has been almost nine months since
they were in a competition.
The Level
6 team performed extremely well, attaining Brian's goals
– 4 for 4 on the Balance Beam, and complete bar routines
without spots. The
Level 5 team showed that they are not to be trifled with:
although many are new to Gymnastics Revolution, they
show a great deal of promise.
The Level 4 team did Allyson proud, with a few
unveiled new skills on Saturday night.
spectators who were present commented that a finer group of
athletes would be hard to find:
Focused, determined, and serious were the adjectives
most commonly used. For
those who would like to visit such an event, see our Meet
Schedule, and be sure to stop in – we are always open to
the public for these events.

Mr. Hitchcock, wie haben Sie das gemacht?: Aktualisierte… (edition 2003)
by François Truffaut
Work details
Hitchcock by François Truffaut
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Am reading in and out of this book in preparation for a film course.
Interesting and informative discussion sessions with Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock. There are a few humorous moments but I wouldn't exactly call this a fun read. It can be dry reading at times especially in the beginning and when they engage in technical talk.
The book is divided into sections covering different periods of Hitchcock's career. You get a little insight -- not a lot -- into some of Hitchcock's methods and thought processes. There are bits of information on just about all of Hitchcock's films -- certainly the better known ones -- ranging from casting choices to production anecdotes to film techniques and even Hitchcock's personal opinion as to why a particular film did or didn't work for the audience.
I particularly liked when the discussion went to casting choices. In many cases (mostly some of his less successful later films) Hitchcock did not get the people he wanted in major roles and he discusses why he believes some of these actors and actresses simply did fit the role. This is done in a matter of fact way, not in a gossipy or snide manner.
Truffaut as interviewer (and obvious fan) seems to want to turn everything into a pontification on symbolism and the deeper meanings of everything. That can get wearying at times.
If you're a even a casual fan of Mr. Hitchcock and his films you're almost certain to get something useful out of this book. If you are a devotee of the master I can almost guarantee you'll love it.
Film director Mat Whitecross has chosen to discuss François Truffaut's Hitchcock: the definitive study of Alfred Hitchcock, on FiveBooks as one of the top five on his subject – Film Directing, saying that:
"…Hitchcock is a great artist, but he hides his art behind these thrillers. So hearing Truffaut, who is another one of my favourite directors, talking to Hitchcock and having this conversation where they start to talk about his career in terms of art, rather than just entertainment, is fascinating. It is one of the best books on film ever written..…".
The full interview is available here: http://thebrowser.com/books/interviews/mat-whitecross
Truffaut's book-length interview with Hitchcock, while a fascinating self-examination of the director's career, succeeds far more in its exploration of the technical details of Hitchcock's work than the underlying meaning of the works.
Hitchcock is surprisingly candid here, often telling lengthy tales with minimal provocation from Truffaut, whose questions tend to guide the discussion more than it directs them.
Truffaut's own interjections, which attempt to elucidate a deeper significance to particular shots, are often trivialized by Hitchcock, who lets the Frenchman theorize but never certainly agrees or disagrees. At moments when Truffaut gets insistent on these points, the exchange tends to feel uncomfortable, but fortunately these subside quickly.
The truly inspired moments are those when Hitchcock relishes in divulging details of trick-shots and complex scenes, such as the infamous shower scene from Psycho. During these sequences, Hitch's technical wizardry shines and we see that his true skills lie in the creation, not the interpretation, of what we see on screen. It's a refreshing and informative perspective.
If nothing else, the book reveals two great cinematic minds engaging each other with a depth and respect that seems unfortunately old-fashioned but is nonetheless remarkable. Certainly a must-read for Hitchcock fans and film buffs alike.
A series of interviews with Hitchcock by one of his greatest fans: the director Francois Truffaut. The organization is chronological, and most of Hitch's films are covered. Hitchcock provides extensive personal and technical details about each one. The book includes many excellent photographs which make even Hitch's lesser efforts look interesting.

Wikipedia in English (5)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671604295, Paperback)Any book-length interview with Alfred Hitchcock is valuable, but considering that this volume's interlocutor is François Truffaut, the conversation is remarkable indeed. Here is a rare opportunity to eavesdrop on two cinematic masters from very different backgrounds as they cover each of Hitch's films in succession. Though this book was initially published in 1967 when Hitchcock was still active, Truffaut later prepared a revised edition that covered the final stages of his career. It's difficult to think of a more informative or entertaining introduction to Hitchcock's art, interests, and peculiar sense of humor. The book is a storehouse of insight and witticism, including the master's impressions of a classic like Rear Window ("I was feeling very creative at the time, the batteries were well charged"), his technical insight into Psycho's shower scene ("the knife never touched the body; it was all done in the [editing]"), and his ruminations on flops such as Under Capricorn ("If I were to make another picture in Australia today, I'd have a policeman hop into the pocket of a kangaroo and yell 'Follow that car!'"). This is one of the most delightful film books in print. --Raphael Shargel
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:31 -0400)
"Plagued by both a reckless ego and nagging self-doubt, Hollywood legend Alfred Hitchcock ... becomes obsessed with a grisly murder story that the studios won't back. Determined, he risks his reputation, his home and even the love of his wife Alma ... as he sets out to make the film"--Container.… (more)

Tossed and Turned Tuesday- Kitchen's Done!!
This was the easiest project I have ever done…NOT!!!
I honestly don't know what I was thinking. I mean, I get that I wanted some color in my life but I really should have stuck to furniture. It took me 2 weeks to finish this project. Including two weeks of eating around drying doors, cooking around open cabinets, and not to mention looking at an unsightly dining/kitchen every day!
The thing that set me back was the color. At first I wanted a light blue color and when I went to Home Depot, the color I chose looked white in my lighting. I have a photo but it's on the phone and looks really bad.
So then I chose a darker (light blue) and it came out looking like a bright pastel blue. In order to make lemonade out of lemons, I used this on the little blue humidor I painted this month which Sammy swears is the same color but I beg to differ.
Since I decided to paint one whole section of cabinets and let it dry before I realized it was (again) not the right color, I had more to scrape off. This took the longest time!! I even used paint stripper but it had lots of nooks and crannies so it was very time consuming.
In the long run I worked on this two complete weekends and after work in between. It was the longest project I ever did. But worth it I must say considering I went from this:
To this:
OH! I forgot to mention that I tried to be smart and paint them for the third time with the doors attached…DON'T EVER DO THAT!! I had drips galore!
Now that this project is done (even though still not quite the blue I was going for) and my husband "likes it enough", I can finally say this was a project I did myself for days on end and I even drilled those holes for knobs and pulls.
I do love my blue kitchen!!
And of course Kunu got in on the action!
One more thing I forgot to show was besides touch ups here and there I have one teeny weenie problem…
D'oh!! Yeah my planning skills suck. I'm going to have to take this handle off and fill the holes then repaint. Ahh the joy doesn't end.
(please don't judge my drawer, I dumped everything in then got sidetracked with the handle:)

Thrown Away Thursday– Cabinet Fever!
Well I couldn't just paint my fireplace and look at these ugly cabinets right next to them, now could I?
Also just want to point out that my kitchen island doesn't usually look that bad but I cleaned off my counter tops and it turned into my staging area.
I'll be back next week to show you my currently "under construction" kitchen!
Have a great weekend!

Tossed and Turned Tuesday- My Fireplace
When you live with someone who loves contemporary and you love vintage, then you get married and you have to decorate to fit the both of you, what do you do?
Well, here's what I did!
I know some of you are thinking "what's the big whoop?". Well before it was brown and I hated it. It used to be stark white before that and I hated it even more. I'm usually not this disgruntled I promise but this fireplace is a lose lose situation.
After browsing the web and consulting with a few blog friends it became apparent that this fireplace needed to be redone. I don't think accessories would have done it alone so after seeing pretty pictures of Cassie of Primitive and Proper's gray fireplace, I started thinking about gray on my fireplace. The more I pictured it the more I liked it.
I ended up painting it "Elephant Gray" and glazed the wood mantle with a black/ brown concoction I came up with. Also, if you notice I now have two doors (haha). The one to the left was hidden by a screen and a chair. Upon the recommendation of a friend, I put in two wicker blinds from Ikea. They are hard to see in this photo because of the crazy sun glare that seeps through my windows but trust me they look great!!
As far as the pictures, well I had originally thought of putting a mirror up there but Sammy didn't like the idea. Then I thought of a nice big picture but the more we looked we never agreed. Sammy actually reminded me of these pictures. They even have have a little history too.
These are the first pictures I ever printed in the graphics department. I even cut them myself. When Sammy and I split up I decided I needed to paint the kitchen of our town home. I painted it this cool green color and decorated the edge of the top border of the wall with these cool pictures I made. There were more then and my kitchen was only a few feet wide so it looked really great. When we moved I hung them in our new house on a blank wall where the china cabinet is now and eventually they came down again.
I didn't think they'd end up back on the wall and I'm glad they did!
I still have a few ideas for sprucing it up for now, this'll do.
Hope you enjoyed it as much as we are!

Thrown Away Thursday–My Fireplace Facelift
Technically this isn't a "thrown away" item (you probably figured that out already) but if I could've removed it and thrown it away, I really would have.
Here's my blah brown fireplace.
It's remained naked after Christmas when I took down the festive mantle and decided I was hating the brown. I've had all these ideas swirling around in my head but told myself that until I was certain what I wanted, it would remain in the buff.
Albeit' I didn't realize it would be four months later that imagination would suddenly strike, but it finally did and I don't have to look at this anymore!
I also was a good wife and consulted my husband on my thought process and we settled for a happy medium. Actually, that's a lie, I gave him some options that I liked and took the one idea he had and ran with it.
I hope you come back Tuesday to see what it looks like now.

Meet Andie!
I caved and bought Brianna a rat for her birthday. Meet Andie, her pet Rat. No not a hamster or gerbil, a rat with a tail. I have to admit he's pretty freakin' adorable and sweet though.
Yes, he's the latest addition to our family and he's getting along nicely!
So for those of you thinking, "is she crazy?? I wouldn't let that thing in my house"…well typically I'd concur and would never see myself getting one, much less holding it, but I did.
Sorry for the blurry pictures but this little guy is fast!
The thing that really put me over the edge is, if most of you don't know, Brianna (just turned 15 year old) suffers from depression. We've had a rough couple of years and though most days can be a struggle, the thing that hurts me most is she hates her smile. I, needless to say, love that smile of hers and for her birthday(and quite frankly the last couple of years or so) all she's wanted was a rat.
So this year for her birthday, I drove her to pet smart and told her to pick one out. She got her rat and I got her smile that I miss seeing so much. I'd say we both won with him!
On a side note, we have a cat and two dogs whom I honestly expected would react different to this little guy.
Kunu,the cat, likes to walk into Brianna's room every now and again and will sit and stare at the rat. Most times he doesn't even care that Andie's in the house.
Reese, on the other hand wants him dead. She tries to bite at his tail every time it sticks out of the cage and when we take him out, she jumps and nips in the air. I told Sammy that it's kind of like seeing those vampire movies when the vampire gets around blood and is uncontrollable. She gets a little crazy like that! I can see her plotting something with the way she looks at him.
Tubby… well you'll have to see for yourself. I think it's safe to say, he found another friend.
You have to know that Tubby is a licker to fully appreciate this video. haha!

Tossed and Turned Tuesday- Humidor–Just say No
So after a few comments on my post Thursday, I've come to the conclusion that my new found mystery piece was in fact a humidor. I still don't understand exactly what it's purpose in life is nor how it was used, other than for storing cigars but in my mind I imagine that I saved this little guy from a future of black lung
Also, I was pretty stumped on what it should look like and nothing seemed to speak to me so I went with this:
Here's the before shots:
And remember that funky red felt on the sides, well I have a great tip for getting that crap off! After trying like heck to scrape it off and getting nowhere fast, I just doused it with water and it came off pretty easy. See photos below.
This weekend I'm working on my kitchen cabinets and am not really having any luck BUT this piece is kind of a foreshadow post of how you make lemonade out of lemons. muahhhahhahhahha
See you later and don't forget to stop by parties I'll be linking up to. See my link up party page at the top!

Thrown Away Thursday–Mystery Piece
I'm not quite sure what the heck this is or what it's used for but I do know it's old and made of wood and I can paint it so that's exactly what I intend to do.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm totally open to them.
This is Easter weekend so I hope you have a great Easter or at least an great extra day off of work! I know I will
See ya,

Tossed and Turned Tuesday – My Awesome New Drawers!
Last week you saw my new chest of drawers that I fell madly in love with and coveted for my own. Well, I already had an idea in mind for what I wanted but was scared at what result I would get. Yes, ME,I was scared.
I knew I didn't want the chalk finish of my Annie Sloan Paris Gray so some glazing would be involved, however, I also knew I didn't want major glazing either. Kinda like a kid in a candy store, you kind of know what you want but you don't know if you'll end up with the right thing!
Looking at it now, I love the result. It's not too bright gray like it was when I stared, not too shiny, not too distressed…it's just perfect! For me and my room anyway. Now I can give Sammy his own chest of drawers!
Again, here's what I started with:
Nice and old and falling apart!
And After:
And yes, that's my shadow outline in the background (sorry).
Ready for more of me??? I wanted to show you how sometimes you have to mess up a bit to get the look you're going for so I had Brianna take some photos of my goof up!
But first this is what I used to get my distressed result: Brown paint and water!
Warning this photo looks nasty but it's just brown paint (promise)
Yep, a paint and water mixture was slapped on and wiped off until I got the result I was looking for.
EXCEPT…on this side, it didn't come out QUITE like I wanted. Can you see the brown lines coming through? That WAS NOT supposed to happen!
So in my case you take a coffee break and start again. REPAINT, distress, wipe…
This is what it looks like now:
Now I just need to find a place for it in my room! I can't wait to see how it looks against my dark accent wall! I'll have to get back to you on that~
Thanks for stopping by!
fun parties you may find me at:

HoppiX is a game of elimination. The object is to remove as many marbles as you can from the playing field. Take a marble and "hop" over a neighboring marble. The marble that was hopped over is removed from the playing field. Continue with this until no more hops are possible. If you removed enough marbles from the screen, then you will move on to the next level -- or win the game!
HoppiX includes several variations on the basic game as well as many different and lovely sets of marbles.
Changing to a new game variant will alter the game board layout and possibly even some of the rules of the game. We also have an Easy - Normal - Hard difficulty selection to make the game even more flexible!
A single level, shaped like a cross.
The same as Classic, but much bigger.
A group of levels shaped like the international symbol for radioactivity.
A collection of smaller level layouts.
A series of square shaped levels that get progressively larger.
HoppiX features several different (and exceedingly fun) marble themes.
HoppiX provides both Windowed & Full Screen display modes, and an Aqua interface featuring the "Chrome" theme for the game skin. HoppiX includes full Mac Help, including strategy tips and a description of the rules of the game. The game also includes an animated dock icon.

PITTSBURGH – For the second-consecutive game, the University of Pittsburgh women's basketball team will welcome a former Big East rival in the Syracuse Orange, as the two teams meet for the first time as members of the ACC. This will be the 29th straight year the two programs have meet and the 51st time overall Pitt and Syracuse have squared off. Tip is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Girl Scout and ACC Day:
The Panthers will host Girl Scout and ACC Day on Sunday which will include numerous events and promotions throughout the day.
Girl Scout Day activities will commence at 12 p.m. with activities including face painting and balloon artists, poster making, and cheer clinics with the University of Pittsburgh Cheer and Dance teams. All scouts in uniform will have the chance to register and win a week at camp, with the winner to be announced at halftime.

To honor the ACC Celebration, the Petersen Events Center will host an in-arena blimp with a landing area on Open Concourse for the viewing pleasure of all fans. To add to the excitement, plush toy prizes will be dropped from the blimp throughout the game, as well as mini-basketballs and 150 Pitt/ACC branded t-shirts to be distributed
Kiesel Soaring to New Heights:
Brianna Kiesel is leading the ACC in scoring during league action, averaging 21.8 points per contest. She has scored at least 20 points in every ACC game this season and has reached the 20+ point plateau in five straight contests and six of her last seven outings. She also ranks sixth in assists (4.5) and third in steals (2.8) during league action. Overall, her 18.2 ppg ranks her fourth in the ACC.
Another statistical category Kiesel is leading the ACC in is free throw shooting. During league action, Kiesel has gone 30-for-31 (.968).

She ranks fourth in the ACC during league action in shooting percentage (15-of-25, .600).
Scouting Syracuse:
Syracuse comes into the matchup with an identical 1-3 conference record. After starting the season 8-0, the Orange is just 4-5 in its last nine outings, while three of those losses have come to AP Top-25 teams (No. 19 Arizona State, No. 3 Duke, No. 6 Maryland).

3 children, 4 others dead after van falls 50 feet in NYC
NEW YORK – An out-of-control SUV careered across several lanes of traffic on a New York parkway Sunday afternoon, then plunged more than 50 feet and landed in a ravine on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo, killing all seven family members aboard, authorities said.
The SUV apparently flipped over a 4-foot-high iron fence before landing upside-down on the Bronx Zoo property. The cause of the crash was unclear, and police said they didn't yet know how fast the SUV was traveling.
"Obviously, the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed," FDNY deputy Chief Ronald Werner said. "It hit something that caused it to become airborne."
" I've been in the fire department 30 years," Werner said. "Sometimes you come upon events that are horrific and this is one of them."
Police identified the dead adults as Jacob Nunez, 85, and Ana Julia Martinez, 81, both from the Dominican Republic, and their daughters, Maria Gonzalez, 45, and Maria Nunez, 39, and three grandchildren. Police say Gonzalez was driving.
The children were identified as Jocelyn Gonzalez, 10, the daughter of the driver, Niely Rosario, 7, and Marly Rosario, 3, both daughters of Nunez.
"I'm very sad," said family friend Jose Perez, 39, who lives near Gonzalez in the Bronx and was at Jacobi Medical Center, where the bodies were taken. "It's a good family."
Maria Gonzalez, a custodial worker at Fordham University, had picked up the others and was heading to her home on Taylor Avenue in the Bronx, he said.
The sisters' parents, about 84 and 80 years old, arrived three days ago from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, he said. They were all headed to a celebration at Gonzalez's home.
Gonzalez's husband, Juan, called a neighborhood bodega with news of the tragedy and word quickly spread. Hours later, dozens of family members descended on the home to console one another and grieve the loss.
"She was a good mother … a very good mother," Juan Gonzalez said in Spanish as he cried and a police chaplain held his shoulder.
The vehicle landed nearly upside down on zoo property that's closed to the public and far from any animal exhibits, said zoo spokeswoman Mary Dixon. The vehicle lay mangled hours later, its right doors ripped off and strewn amid the trees along with items from the car.
It's not clear what caused the SUV to go out of control. The southbound side of the highway was closed briefly while police investigated.
Fire Chief Vincent Mosca of Battalion 18 said his unit was first on the scene, arriving within five minutes to find the SUV on a grassy, rocky patch of dirt.
At first, he said , it was difficult to determine how many people were trapped inside the vehicle because it was so badly crushed.
"The guys did the best job they could," Mosca said. "But no one was alive as they were being removed."
The medical examiner's office said it expected to release the victims' causes of death on Monday.
A blue-gray bag full of diapers was also found in the vehicle. Mosca could not bring himself to describe the girls' conditions.
"I didn't really stare at the children," he said. "It is upsetting to see.
"I've seen this before," he added, "but not to this extent with so many perishing. It's a tragedy definitely for the family.
"Losing children is always a difficult thing. We all have children. We just have to support each other."
The accident was the second in the past year where a car fell off the same stretch of the Bronx River Parkway. Last June, the driver of a sport utility vehicle heading north lost control and the SUV hit a divider, bounced through two lanes of traffic and fell 20 feet over a guardrail, landing on a pickup truck in a parking lot. The two people in the SUV were injured.
City agencies will be asked to look at safety issues on the highway including guardrail height, Bronx borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. said in a statement Sunday.
"My prayers, as well as those of my office and all Bronxites, go out to the families of the seven victims," he said.
The wreck was the deadliest in New York City since the driver of a tour bus returning from a Connecticut casino in March 2011 lost control and slammed into a pole that sheared the bus nearly end to end, killing 14 passengers.
On July 26, 2009, eight people were killed on the Taconic State Parkway when Long Island mother Diane Schuler drove south in the northbound lanes for 1.7 miles before colliding head-on with another vehicle in Mount Pleasant.
An autopsy determined that Schuler had downed at least 10 drinks and had smoked marijuana as recently as 15 minutes before the wreck.

Learn about our Unlimited Plans in our Knowledge Sharing Session: Whole Lotta' Data Going On! on Wed, June 28 - from 1-4pm ET / 12-3pm CT / 10am-1pm PT!
Finally after 4 years I was very excited to get an iPhone that has all the features I wanted…but I am disappointed so far.
I purchase an iPhone 4S 32GB on 10/7 and has not been impressed with the battery life. I have to charge my iPhone at least 3 times a day. I go to work at 8 AM and by 11:30 AM the battery is at 20 %, so I charge it again which takes only about 60 to 120 minutes to charge, and by 5:30 I have to start charging again…the third charge has start around 11:30 PM and I have to keep the phone plugged overnight otherwise it will be dead by 6 AM.
I have read other posts on the web and people have suggested turning notifications, location services…etc which I went ahead and did but that did not change the battery issue. I would like to mention here…what is the purpose of all the options on the phone if you have to keep everything turned off.
I always try to kill apps that running in background but still no fix to battery issue.
Today I went to Apple store and exchanged the phone with new one. The apple rep activated the phone for me and the charge was at 78 %. I left the store and 10 minutes later I was at my house, but again I was surprised to see the battery has drooped to 65 % within 10 minutes.
When I got home I plugged the phone and when it was charge at 100 % I unplugged it and 40 minutes later the battery dropped to 70 %.
I am given this phone 2 more days and if the battery continue to be an issue I have no option but to return it and re-active my old phone. Having to charge a phone 3 times a day defeats the purpose of having a wireless phone.
It seemed that a lot of users are have similar issue. Not sure if the issue related to iOS 5, iPhone or bad batch of iPhone or iPhone batteries.
I unplugged my iPhone 4s at 8:20 this morning with 100% and by 10:43 AM I am down to 63%. I have turned everything off such notifications, locations services, nothing in the background is working and I only used it for 10 minute conversation.
I am going to return it back today to Apple store and wait few more months before buying another phone. I am starting to think that there is something with either the iOS, the phone hardware or the battery.
My wife's phone just got charged for the first time since launch day. It sat in her purse since for the most part except for a few texts and calls. She has the 16gig. I have the 32 and use it heavily. Where I work there are NO cell signal so the phone constantly is searching and eating up the battery. Still I can usually make it through the day on one charge. ...so something isn't quite right. I would suspect GPS, had you not mentioned turning it off. I am at a loss... Good luck.
I don't think it is GPS since my Locations Services is set to Off and both Siri and GPS are under this settings. There has to be something that is causing the battery to drain fast. I am starting to think it might be a batch of bad phones or batteries.
have you turned off wifi. and when you are in a spot with no cell coverage did you turn off 3g so it only finds 2g?
well my battery life is kind of short,but i use the WiFi all dya to listen to pandora radio. from 7am to 12pm my battery will hit 62% from 12:30 to 2:30pm il be at 50% so thats pretty good.then i will charge it back up.
I have read a lot of posts and I think I might have found why the battery is draining fast. One of the post a user suggested to turn off push for email. Currently I have 2 email accounts setup on my phone: hotmail and our exchange. Once I disabled Push and set Fetch to Manual I no longer had issue with my battery and now it takes an hour or so to drop 1%. I am not sure if Push should be disabled or there is bug with the phone, because my friend has an iphone 4 and has 1 email acccount (hotmail) and it is set for Push, but he does not have any battery issues at all.
Anyone has more than email account on iPhone 4S with Push and not having battery issues?
I'm getting 7.5 usage hours and over a day and a half of standby time on my iPhone 4S, which is fine for me. One of my coworkers is only getting half of this, so I do believe that a iOS update will be needed to correct the battery issue for those that are having one.

The problem isn't push, it isn't leaving wifi on, it's none of that. I'm got the 4S and upgraded from an iPhone 4.
The iPhone 4 had GREAT battery life. I could go all day with that. The 4S drops even when I'm not using it. There HAS to be a bug in the OS. Maybe there is some optimization that they didn't have time to finish for the A5 chip before release.
I remain cautiously optomistic that Apple is aware of this and is (or might have) a fix for this and we'll see software update soon that fixes it (once they're done doing all of the QA testing.)
I have the 4S configured pretty much the same was as the iPhone 4. I even went and turned off wifi, location, and bluetooth a nd it didn't seem to make a difference. No, I won't turn off 3G that's never an option since EDGE data doesn't really work.
iPhone batteries, when new, don't get great battery life until you've used them about a week and gone through the first 10 charge cycles or so. But I'm past that point where it should be getting better and it's just as dismal as the first day I had it.
Apple HAS to address this (that is I mean they almost surely will) some how and I'm pretty sure they will. Their employees use them too and they have to be feeling the pain. The question is if/when they patch the software, how much better will it actually be?
They advertise better battery life than iPhone 4 and I'm actually seeing maybe 1/2 iPhone 4.
I have also noticed it getting warm when not even using it (so has my wife) and we didn't experience that with the 4. Something is eating up power when it shouldn't.
I think the issue is related to email/push settings from my experience so far.
Originally I had the settings set to Push and Manual. Once I changed the settings to Push off and manual I no longer had issue with my battery. It took 7 hours to go down 1% and that with WiFi on, all notifications enabled, and apps running in background.
I checked with my friends and co-workers who have iPhone 4 (none had the 4S) and some with iOS 5 and others with iOS4. Their settings for Push is set to ON and schedule for Hourly. None of them had battery issues.
I went ahead and turned Push on for my iPhone 4S and changed the schedule to hourly. Once I made the changes the battery started to drain very fast, it went down from 90% to 83% within 30 minutes.
I am not sure what is going anymore, but I think there is bug with the iOS 5 on the new 4S phones.

hmmm My 4S pushes email every 15 minutes. My battery life is pretty good. Hope you figure this out.
I have a 64GB 4S and I am another one that has had no battery issues. Does it drain faster than my iPhone 4? Sure but that is expected with the new hardware. You never mentioned if you tried a full restore rather than restoring a backup but I have heard that corrects the issue for some people.
Hope it gets worked out, I am sure that is very annoying.
I am using push mail. It was never an issue on the iPhone 4. I'm going to try using it without push mail for a while and see if I can confirm this.

text: well i finally made the cover of my local paper! not in a good way, though. i previously owned a 1990 toyota supra, one of the few with a 2jz swap...and i was cruisin down a major street downtown when a tractor trailer ran a light, and i happened to be looking for a cd (i know, i know, bad driving move on my part) so here i am on the front of the paper with my supra lodged under a tractor trailer, luckily he was going slow enough that i didn't catch up to the rear wheels. the car was totalled, but actually not too bad off, supras are tanks in case you didn't know. so that's my intro, i'm lookin for a new car, and i camp and rock climb a bunch, so i was really thinkin a 96-98 impreza wagon with an ej20 swap...older car to stay cheap, and i hear the swap isn't too bad, should be around the same challenge as my 2jz swap. so my questions are, is there enough room with the seats down to lay down and camp in the wagon? and how different is the outback from the impreza wagon? are there many modded wagons? could you make a wagon perform very well? from what i know the curb weight is only 2750 pounds, and the suspension geometry is the same as the wrx. i'm a little worried about subaru transmissions, are they really that bad? and anyone know a good place for a used ej20? i know these are a bunch of questions, any help would be great...if anyone lives near st.louis and ever needs car help, my father owns a meineke and we enjoy every customer, especially car guys, give me a buzz 636-288-5575, dan is my name.

Continuation of a longitudinal study of substance-abusing youthful offenders
This grant provides partial support for a longitudinal study of substance abusing youthful offenders. The Northwestern Juvenile Project is the only large-scale study of youth in juvenile detention. The 1998 baseline data provided a close look at the rates of mental health and substance abuse disorders in these youth. Continuation of the study (possibly because of unprecedented retention rates--87 percent) will provide an opportunity to track the long-term outcomes of these youth. Additional data will be added about pathways to substance abuse treatment, services provided over time, and related outcomes.

Cameron to promise Britons straight choice on EU exit
By Andrew Osborn and Peter Griffiths
LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron will promise on Wednesday to give Britons a straight referendum choice on whether to stay in the European Union or leave, provided he wins an election in 2015.
Cameron will end months of speculation by announcing in a speech the plan for a vote sometime between 2015 and 2018, shrugging off warnings that this could imperil Britain's diplomatic and economic prospects and alienate its allies.
In extracts of the speech released in advance by his office, Cameron said public disillusionment with the EU is at "an all-time high".
"It is time for the British people to have their say. It is time to settle this European question in British politics," he said in the extracts, adding that his Conservative party would campaign for the 2015 election promising to renegotiate Britain's EU membership.
"And when we have negotiated that new settlement, we will give the British people a referendum with a very simple in or out choice to stay in the EU on these new terms; or come out altogether. It will be an in-out referendum."
Whether Cameron will ever hold the referendum remains as uncertain as the Conservatives' chances of winning the next election due in 2015.
