Regularly review your household suppliers and save money
An important part of managing your household bills is keeping on top of your contracted suppliers. This includes services such as your gas and electricity, your home phone, mobile and Internet, as well as your insurance and financial providers. Many people simply allow these contracts to renew each year, without shopping around for an alternative deal. However, habitually reviewing your service providers before the contract is due for renewal can instantly save you loads.
Utilities provider
Gas and electricity are a household's biggest running cost, so this is a good place to start to save money. Within 120 days before your existing contract is up for renewal, your energy supplier is legally obliged to inform you and send on a renewal pack with full terms and conditions. On top of this, it is now easier than ever before to switch suppliers, which is great news for consumers.
If you have moved into a new place and 'inherited' the energy suppliers the previous occupants used, then chances are it may not be the best deal for you and your needs. Also, if you are a renting, then it's perfectly acceptable to approach your landlord if you find a better deal with an alternate energy supplier.
Often, if you get your electricity and gas from the same suppliers, you qualify for a dual-fuel discount. This could also mean you are paying standard rates for both. This is why it's important to shop around for the best energy deal for you, whether it is with one single supplier or separate.
Phone and Internet provider
These days, there is a wide range of mobile, home phone and Internet plans that can be catered to your specific needs. Monitor your phone and Internet usage, including heavy usage times, numbers you call regularly and the destinations you call regularly i.e. overseas or national. Based on these needs, shop around to make sure you are on or can switch to the best deal possible.
If your circumstances change, such as the kids leaving home, your phone and Internet usage needs may change. For this reason, before your contracts are due for renewal, again take a look at your phone and broadband usage and shop around in case a cheaper, more suitable deal is now available.
Other suppliers
Insurance providers and banking institutions are two other common services that you pay for regularly, so again, it's important to monitor exactly what you are being charged. Ensure you know exactly what fees and interest you are paying and use this information to search for a better deal.
The providers of your household services, such as utilities and phone and Internet, want your custom and shopping around, knowing what is available and being serious about switching can not only mean better rates, it can mean savings incentives from your existing suppliers and potential suppliers. Don't get caught in the loyalty trap. Habitually review all your household contracts and save.

"(1) An Official who [has] recently retired from a successful career in College officiating and is still physically able to officiate at a high level of competency. (2) Lower division college officials, professional league officials and semi-professional league officials whose window of opportunity for advancement has pretty much closed but who have the ability to work higher levels but just got overlooked."
Baynes also wrote that the officials should be prepared to participate in an intensive training program; be able to pass an extensive background check; and provide a statement from their personal physician stating they are capable of the physical expectations of the work.
NFL Senior VP/PR Greg Aiello declined to make Baynes available for an interview. Aiello said in an e-mail, "We are hiring experienced college football officials from all levels." NFLRA General Counsel Michael Arnold did not respond to a text for comment on this story.

Millsboro is spreading its wings with guidance from Hudson
Location has always been one of Millsboro's biggest assets.
Ideally situated a short drive from the Delaware beaches and just 20-30 minutes from Georgetown and Salisbury, the town has the highest growth rate of any municipality in inland Sussex County between 2000 and 2010. While much of that recent growth has been driven by retirees moving to the shore, a new demographic is also finding Millsboro attractive: young people.
Many of the same qualities that attract retirees to the area — lower home prices and crime rates, no sales tax, a slower pace of life — also attract young people. But good jobs, schools and lifestyle play a critical role when young people make decisions about where to settle down.
With good jobs throughout the mid-Atlantic region, Delaware has often seen its young people leave for a better future somewhere else. But having left himself, Millsboro Town Manager Sheldon P. Hudson knows returning to the area has its advantages, too.
Hudson grew up in Sussex County and is a graduate of the Indian River School District. He worked summer jobs at TCBY and Grotto and made his way to floor supervisor at the pizza giant. "That was pretty special for a 14- or 15-year-old kid. I learned an awful lot working at Grotto."
He also worked in the family business in Ocean View. "I give my parents a lot of credit. My mom especially. They led by example. They were never above anything."
Like many locals, Hudson went away to college, graduating from Indiana Wesleyan University with a degree in political science. He earned his master's degree at Regents University.
Then he came home. "I saw a lot of my friends move away and not come back. It's a privilege to come back. We want our young people to stay here or come back after college. We need them to come back."
Upon his return to the area, Hudson served as the director of risk management and human resources generalist for Trinity Logistics of Seaford, senior fiscal and policy analyst in the State of Delaware Office of Management & Budget and an adjunct economics instructor at Delaware Tech in Georgetown. In August of 2016 he was named Millsboro's town manager.
One area Hudson is focusing on is medical professionals. As retirees continue to move to Delaware, attracting younger, educated healthcare professionals is a critical need.
"Millsboro is in between all of these hospitals," he said. "PRMC, Beebe, Nanticoke, Atlantic General. Milford is not that far. Delaware Technical Community College is right down the street. They have the new RN to BSN program. These are good jobs in healthcare. I believe Millsboro can be an employment hub over time. We're perfectly located to address that need."
Millsboro already has a strong employer base, including Merck, BJ's and the Delmarva Health Pavilion. Others are following. Lewes Dairy, attracted by Millsboro's central location in the county, will build a new distribution facility and ice cream parlor near the bowling alley. Royal Farms is coming to the area. Officials have recently broken ground on the new Chick-fil-A next to the Peninsula Crossing Shopping Center. The town hopes to lure Starbucks to the area as well. Both Chick-fil-A and Starbucks appeal to a younger, hipper clientele that often lead to other premier businesses following into the market.
The town is making other moves in hopes of attracting additional businesses to the area.
"We know Millsboro is going to see growth because of its geographic location," Hudson said. "We don't want sprawl. We want something we can be proud of with a good foundation. We're looking for the right kind of growth."
Recently the Town lowered impact fees by about 25 percent in an effort to encourage growth. According to the town's website, the move will reduce a $2,629 building permit impact fee down to $500 per equivalent dwelling unit.
Hudson said the town is also considering other changes to zoning as well. "We are looking to modernize our code," he said. We want to make it more attractive to developers."
Hudson added the town hopes to incentivize downtown business owners to invest in improvements. In return, the town will make improvements to sidewalks and pavers. "Downtown needs some revitalization. I feel like the town has to lead to make these investments to encourage preserving these structures. There are a number of brick structures. They're timeless. We've been talking about a historic district on Main Street."
Hudson acknowledged this kind of partnership could be difficult to pull off. "A lot of these properties are leased or are rental properties. We need to find a way to inspire or to incentivize downtown business owners to invest in property improvements. It will take collaboration."
Hudson noted the town has been successful in attracting both big retailers to the U.S. 113 corridor and keeping mom and pop businesses on Main Street. But jobs and development are just part of the equation. According to Hudson, affordable housing is another attraction for young people and families to consider. "It's a lot less expensive than the resort area." Hudson chuckled. He noted Plantation Lakes has moderately-priced housing and includes low maintenance townhomes that appeal to both retirees and busy young professionals.
He pointed to a strong school system, "the Indian River School District is a high-performing district and East Millsboro Elementary was named a National Blue Ribbon School for 2017." According to the State's website, the recognition is based on a school's overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.
While crime remains low, traffic can be a bear along the busy U.S. 113 corridor and at portions along Del. 24 leading through downtown and onto Main Street. Besides the traffic bottlenecks, state transportation records show there were over 300 accidents in town limits in 2016, more than half of which occurred at or near the U.S. 113 and Del. 24 intersection.
While Hudson acknowledged there wasn't an immediate remedy on the horizon, the state continues to debate a bypass to move eastbound beach traffic north of town. It would include an overpass. A second phase would be designed to ease north-south congestion along U.S. 113 by adding a third lane. Even if the bypass is approved, officials estimate it's seven to 10 years until completion.
Hudson and his wife, Kristan are raising their two children in the town of Millsboro.
"I love this area," he explained. "Being born and raised here is a huge, built-in advantage. I feel like it's taken 20 years where I can say this is the right fit for me. My goal is to make the town better. It's really exciting and I think we are well-positioned for the future."

The significant, lasting impact that driverless technology will have on land use and urban development was the topic of a thought-provoking discussion at ULI's recent Midwinter Meeting, held at ULI headquarters in Washington, D.C., and attended by the Institute's global trustees.
Dave Bragg, managing director, residential, at Green Street Advisors in Newport Beach, California, kicked off the session with an overview of the status of autonomous transportation technology. He predicted that self-driving automobiles could be prevalent in many U.S. urban areas within ten years, although he noted that some in the tech industry claim the timing could be closer to five years. Of the many technology-driven disruptors, the transportation revolution—including ride sharing, driverless cars, and driverless ride sharing—has the most potential as a "game changer for real estate," he said.
From ULI Connect: ULI Global Chairman Randy Rowe on the Transportation Revolution | ULI Member-Led Group Explores Autonomous Vehicles' Impact on Real Estate
Bragg cited several likely impacts of driverless technology:
- Reuse of parking space. Tens of billions of square feet of unused parking space could result from a dramatic decline in individual vehicle ownership, opening up opportunities for redevelopment as commercial or residential space. Self-storage facilities could be hurt as more people use empty garages to store their property.
- Repricing of properties. The potential for reuse of existing parking space could affect the pricing of existing developments that now provide ample surface parking or garage facilities.
- Rethinking of mass transit. The need for mass transit could be diminished as use of autonomous cars increases. In addition, the premium placed on living and working near mass transit could be reduced.
- A shift in suburban and urban dynamics. Commuting from the suburbs to the workplace could become less cumbersome—cheaper and more convenient. As a result, suburban living could be more appealing for many households that might otherwise have sought to live in close-in urban neighborhoods. In addition, the technology could help level the playing field in terms of property values in the exurbs versus those in urban cores.
- Job losses among those who drive for a living. Driverless technology could eliminate the need for delivery truck drivers, taxi drivers, and others who earn a living by driving—a group currently accounting for about 3 million U.S. workers.
- Fewer reasons to make store visits. Driverless cars could run and combine errands more efficiently than humans, causing low-quality retail businesses such as convenience stores to suffer. Specialty retailers that serve as destinations people want to visit would continue to perform well.
- A boost for central business district office space. Faster, hassle-free commutes could make such office space more desirable and reduce the need for telecommuting.
Randall Rowe, ULI global chairman and chairman of Green Courte Partners in Chicago, who moderated a response panel of trustees, pointed out that issues related to liability and protocol must be addressed in order for driverless technology to be widely adopted. In addition, he noted that local governments will need to rethink infrastructure investments in terms of funding "smart" infrastructure to accommodate autos that start, stop, accelerate, decelerate, navigate, and park themselves.
The panelists speculated on a variety of potential outcomes, such as whether broad access to driverless cars would cause neighborhoods in urban regions to become more diverse or more homogeneous; whether the technology might lead to more sprawl or more density; whether it would benefit underserved areas or further drain them; and how broadly it would be used outside urban areas other than for goods distribution.
The consensus: though the unknowns still outweigh the knowns, the switch from human-operated vehicles to driverless ones will be just as transformative for 21st-century urban design and development as the switch from horse-drawn carriages to cars was in the 20th century.
"Cars have emerged from being a mechanical appliance to a computer-driven appliance, but what they have yet to become is a network appliance, and that is what autonomous cars will be," observed Jonathan Brinsden, chief executive officer, Midway, Houston. "The implications of that are massive from an investment standpoint and a social standpoint."
Also taking part in the panel were Teri Frankiewicz, vice president of community development, Crown Community Development, Naperville, Illinois; Calvin Gladney, managing partner, Mosaic Urban Partners, Washington, D.C.; Philip Payne, chief executive officer, Ginkgo Residential, Charlotte, North Carolina; and Jon Zehner, global cohead, client capital group, LaSalle Investment Management, London.
(Rowe was also recently featured in a Forbes.com article exploring the implications of autonomous vehicle technology.)

Total Toddy
Full Spectrum Nutrition For Less Active Adults
Total Toddy is the ideal Full Spectrum Nutritional
product for those who want to provide their body with the base nutrients it needs every
day. Total Toddy contains a base of Mineral Toddy, plus added major minerals
in colloidal, organic form. Vitamins, amino acids and Phytonutrients have then been added
to create a balanced dietary supplement that contains the full spectrum nutrients required
by the body.
Total Toddy provides balanced nutrition in an easy to take, highly
absorbable liquid supplement. It is ideal for "every body" as it offers a
complete representation of the essential nutrients we all need every day.
Toddy is specifically designed for
sedentary adults and seniors, children ages 13 and older, and those who are just beginning
their nutrition program.
Mineral Toddy, Deionized water, Glycerine,
Sorbitol, Fructose, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate and Natural Flavorings.
Suggested Use: Adults - Take 1 ounce per day per 100 lbs. of body weight in divided
amounts with or after meals, either undiluted or mixed with fruit or vegetable juice. (For
children ages 2 to 12 we recommend using Kids
Toddy.) Shake well before using. One bottle provides a 30 day supply.
Refrigerate after opening.
There is a 100% 30-Day Money Back Guarantee on ALL Products.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration.
This Product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Your body requires a number of different nutrients each day to
support its functions and activities. A Full Spectrum of nutrients include vitamins, trace
and major minerals and amino acids. It is important that your body receive these nutrients
in the correct ratios and combinations, as fragmenting your nutrition by only taking
certain nutrients can lead to overdoses or imbalances.
An important aspect of Full Spectrum Nutrition includes organic trace and major
minerals. These colloidal plant-derived minerals contribute to thousands of chemical
activities in the body and exercise a positive effect on other nutrients such as vitamins.
In this way the body is able to retain these water-soluble nutrients for a much longer
period of time before naturally excreting them.
In addition to these trace and major minerals, Full Spectrum Nutrition contains a
balance of vitamins, amino acids and Phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are natural compounds
present in fresh fruits and vegetables that have been shown in clinical studies to support
the bodys immune system and help protect against cellular oxidative damage from free
radical formation. Phytonutrients are proving to be some of the most powerful antioxidants
currently known.
At a time in our lives when it is almost impossible to receive all the nutrients you
need each day through a normal healthy diet, supplementation becomes critical. Without
supplementation, the foods we eat may be leaving us with nutrient deficiencies
which can eventually lead to illness.

Design Notes: 1985 GM C-Bodies
Oldsmobile's Ninety-Eight
Even though I personally thought the Ninety-Eight was the best looking of the luxury trio, it was apparently panned as the most devoid of character. Interestingly, I even feel out of all of the concepts for the C-body, the Ninety-Eight was the best looking. Below is a clay model from November of 1979. While the two-door Cadillac and Buick models looked like their yet-to-be-released E-body kin, this Ninety-Eight sedan shares an essence of its upcoming Toronado brother in its lines, particularly in the front fender.
This illustration below is from 1979 and includes the final rear window angle, but that is about all it shared with the production model. However, notice the wrap-around glass envisioned for the windshield, a trait that would show up on this car's 1991, all-new replacement.
Unlike the highly technical Electra dashboard mock-up, this Ninety-Eight dashboard looks far more like what was actually offered in the final product. This example is from April of 1980.
This full-size clay model of the Ninety-Eight is also from April of 1980. Just about everything is in order.

As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Hudson County Community College buyers information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Hudson County Community College.
By calculating your annual tuition fees and expected costs of living at the colleges and universities that you're applying to, you can get an idea of the amount of need-based financial aid that you qualify for. The financial aid office will use a formula to calculate financial need, and attempt to put together a financial aid package to enable you to enroll in school. Eligibility depends on your expected family contribution, your class year, enrollment status, and the total cost of attendance.
Basically, you need to add up the cost of tuition and related educational expenses, such as textbooks, computing equipment, room and board, transportation, and miscellaneous expenses. This determines you total cost of attendance (COA). To calculate the amount of need-based financial aid that you qualify for, you must subtract the expected family contribution (EFC) from the cost of attendance, as well as Pell grants or scholarships that you have been awarded. If you have exceptional circumstances, you may apply for additional non need-based aid such as the Federal Stafford unsubsidized loan program, or Parental PLUS Loans. Beyond degree requirements such as Hudson County Community College tuition costs, you may consider Motlow College SAT exam dates for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

|Firearms Taken off the Streets 2017
Posted on February 4, 2017
by RBPF Public Affairs and Communications Office
Consistent with the Commissioner's Policing Plan for 2017, Police took four illegal weapons off the streets of New Providence in separate incidents during the past 48 hours.
In the first incident, shortly before 9:00am on Thursday 2nd February 2017, Drug Enforcement Unit Officers acting on information went to a bushy area on Saki Street off Soldier Road, where they uncovered a 9- millimeter pistol with two rounds of ammunition.
A short while later around 9:00am, a concerned citizen handed over to police, an AK- 47 Assault Rifle with 21 live rounds of ammunition.
Later that same day shortly before 4:00pm, Selective Enforcement Team officers were on routine patrol on Fowler Street off East Street, when they saw a man walking who aroused their suspicion. The man on seeing the officers threw a firearm to the ground and fled on foot. The officers gave chase but were unable to catch the man. The firearm was recovered and found to be a .40 Austria Pistol with 11 rounds of ammunition.
In the final incident, shortly before 9:00am on Friday 3rd February 2017, Firearms Tracing and Investigation Unit Officers acting on information went to Bailey Drive, Coral Harbour, where they uncovered a 12 - Gauge shotgun. No one was taken into custody in connection with these seizures.

$.01--There was only one game on the Week 17 slate with playoff implications for both teams. Detroit hosted Green Bay with the NFC North title on the line. The winner would be the 4 seed and hosting a game next weekend the loser the 6th and on the road to Seattle.
Detroit had visions of its first-ever NFC North title, but Aaron Rodgers and the Packers showed their experienced, winning mettle. I could go into great detail on how the Packers prevailed 31-24, but it all boils down to this…
Need players to make plays. Green Bay's did, Detroit's did not. Lots of other ways to slice it, but none more important than that— Jeff Risdon (@JeffRisdon) January 2, 2017
Rodgers was masterful in picking apart the Lions defense. Detroit didn't really play poorly upon first blush. Green Bay's offense, Rodgers in particular, were simply better. Passes which Matthew Stafford just missed, Rodgers hit. When the offenses needed a third down, Rodgers found a way, scrambling here or improvising there. Stafford tried but didn't have the horses or the precision to match.
Green Bay captures the division title and with it the No. 4 seed. That means a date hosting the Giants next week. Detroit travels to Seattle instead of hosting the franchise's first home playoff game since 1993.
It's quite a rebound from 4-6 and national pundits openly speculating about Mike McCarthy's job security in Green Bay. Now Rodgers is a legit MVP candidate. Stafford held that mantle as recently as a month ago but faded badly down the stretch. That's why Green Bay wins and Detroit loses in a nutshell.
$.02--Just as there was only one game with dual playoff implications, there was only one team with a "win and get in" mandate. All Washington had to do was beat the rival New York Giants and they would have qualified for the NFC's No. 6 seed.
The Giants were already locked in at the 5 spot, so they had little incentive to play other than to rain on a division rival's parade. And rain they did. New York won going away 19-10, eliminating Jay Gruden and his team, who finished 9-6-1.
New York led almost the entire game, holding a 10-0 lead for well over half the contest, but Washington's offense finally found a rhythm late. Kirk Cousins tied the game up with a couple of impressive drives, helped in part by their first semblance of a run game all afternoon. But when Washington needed someone to make a big play in a 12-10 game, it was the New York defense who delivered. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie picked off Cousins for the second time on a throw which sailed deep over the middle.
Washington's D gave Cousins one last chance, but a desperation lateral gadget play went haywire and the Giants ultimately scooped up a fumble and ran it in for a gravy touchdown.
Cousins laid an egg in arguably the biggest game of his career. This is important because he played 2016 on the franchise tag. Now Washington to decide if he's worthy of a pricey long-term investment, and the prism of judgment is this devastating loss. They could conceivably hit him with the franchise tag once again, but that would mean a cost-prohibitive $24M (approximate, figures won't be known until March) one-year hit. All cash, all against the 2017 cap.
It's a very interesting decision for GM Scott McCloughan, who has quietly gathered an impressive collection of talent. Cousins set Washington records for offensive production this year, but couldn't engineer a return postseason visit. It's hard to fathom Washington letting him walk, but then again if the two sides don't reach a mutually beneficial deal it might be for the better for both sides as well.
$.03--For the third time in as many years, the San Francisco 49ers will take a spin on the coaching carousel, with Chip Kelly losing his job after one abysmal 2-14 campaign.
The Chip Kelly NFL experience is hopefully, mercifully over. After he took a flamethrower and pointed it in the wrong direction in Philadelphia, Kelly--somewhat amazingly--landed quickly in San Francisco. Niners fans, players and management quickly realized all of the negative hyperbole from Philly was perfectly valid.
Kelly's up-tempo offense simply cannot, will not work in the NFL. Aside from the officiating interruptions, the lower play clock in the NFL leaves defenses better prepared for the fast pace. The negative downside continues to be something Kelly never fully figured out: speeding up his offense meant his defense would get little rest and often put them in extremely disadvantageous positions. No team held the ball for less time than Kelly's Niners, the third year in a row his offenses finished last in time of possession and his defenses faced more plays than any other unit.
The more important firing in San Francisco is General Manager Trent Baalke, who was also let go in information leaked out on New Year's Eve. Baalke had some initial success in overhauling what was one of the weakest rosters in memory, and hiring Jim Harbaugh as Head Coach was a home run. Alas, he couldn't sustain the high.
Baalke's recent Niners have been nothing short of disastrous. He drafted too many players with major injuries or character concerns have decimated the depth chart. Waffling on quarterbacks, poor choices on free agent comings and goings and an inability to work well with Harbaugh have created a confluence of epic proportions.
Sunday's meaningless finale, a 25-23 loss to the visiting Seahawks, made a mostly empty Levi's Stadium seem like a Seattle home game. Baalke wasn't officially fired until after the game, but the sight of all those high-priced empty seats did nothing but reinforce to owner Jed York he was making the correct decision.
$.04--One year after winning the Super Bowl, the Denver Broncos missed the playoffs. Shortly before Denver's season-ending 24-6 win over Oakland, Head Coach Gary Kubiak announced he was stepping away for health reasons.
It's a difficult decision but the correct one. You might recall Kubiak suffering a minor stroke on the sidelines during his time leading the Houston Texans back in 2013. Earlier this season Kubiak missed the loss to San Diego after suffering a serious migraine headache, one which landed him in the hospital. The longtime John Elway backup and confidant is 55 years old.
Kubiak leaves behind a team ready to contend for an immediate playoff run with one very real and important caveat: Denver doesn't have a quarterback right now. Trevor Siemian proved in 2016 he is much better-served being a backup. Paxton Lynch, the first-round pick and my No. 1 QB in the 2016 NFL draft, wasn't ready as a rookie and figures to struggle more than a tolerable level if he takes the reins.
My top candidate to take this job is Vance Joseph. Currently the Defensive Coordinator for the Miami Dolphins, Joseph was in charge of the secondary under Kubiak in Houston. The 44-year-old is widely seen as a rising coaching star. He's earned respect for his ability to tweak game plans on the fly but also for his developmental teaching. He won't try and fix what isn't broken on the very strong Denver defense, but can also augment it with fresh eyes and more of an emphasis on internal improvement with the younger players.
For the playoff-bound Raiders, the worst possible scenario played out. Backup QB Matt McGloin left the game with injury, one week after starter and MVP candidate Derek Carr broke his leg. Enter rookie Connor Cook, a fourth-round pick from Michigan State who hadn't even been active for most of the season.
The upshot is Cook played pretty well. The numbers weren't great (14-for-21, 150 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) but he looked more at home than McGloin. Cook was sporadically outstanding in college but also prone to cold streaks. If he can avoid those, Oakland still has a shot to win a postseason game.
$.05--The Cleveland Browns tried very hard to win, and in the process they nearly blew earning the No. 1 overall pick. Cleveland fought hard against a largely disinterested Pittsburgh team, even going ahead in overtime before the Steelers sealed the deal with Cobi Hamilton TD pass from Landry Jones.
Now Cleveland is officially on the clock after the 1-15 finish, the worst in franchise history. The big question facing GM Paul DePodesta and his staff is whether they take pass rusher extraordinaire Myles Garrett or promising quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Garrett is the more NFL-ready player, and he sits firmly atop my current big board.
My sense in talking to Browns fans--I'm a Cleveland native and my Facebook feed is about 50% Browns fans--is they would prefer to roll the dice with Trubisky. The North Carolina QB is from nearby Mentor and showed a lot of very high potential with the Tar Heels. There are caveats however; he started for just one season and did so in a very passer-friendly system, though also a pro-friendly one.
Right now I would take Trubisky. Maybe I'm still drunk on my Cavaliers breaking a title drought dating back to Jim Brown's heyday with a local hero leading the way, but I love the idea of someone who grew up dreaming of being the Browns quarterback taking control and leading them out of the cellar. Trubisky has the best chance to be the best quarterback in this draft, and that's something the Browns have desperately needed since Bernie Kosar's skills diminished some 25 years ago.
$.06--New Year's Eve is all about the college football playoff semifinals. Hopefully you had other plans…
Alabama destroyed Washington 24-7 in the first playoff semifinal, also known as the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. Clemson embarrassed Ohio State 31-0 in the Playstation Fiesta Bowl in the nightcap.
These games were nearly as bad as Mariah Carey's performance ringing in the new year.
The Crimson Tide defense suffocated Washington's overmatched offense, while Alabama's offense ran roughshod. Quite literally: Bama freshman QB Jalen Hurts completed just 7 of his 14 passes for 57 yards, but the Tide had little trouble moving the ball. Led by Bo Scarbrough's 180 yards, Alabama rushed for 269 yards and two TDs.
Washington managed just 44 yards and 29 carries as the Bama front completely dominated the line of scrimmage. All the prominent draft talent, from end Jonathan Allen to LB Reuben Foster to CB Marlon Humphrey, seems almost impervious to blocking.
The Tide, as is their custom, scored a defensive touchdown with Ryan Anderson's pick-six on a bad Jake Browning mistake. Opponents simply cannot make mistakes against Alabama. They're too sharp and opportunistic.
Clemson was too. Ohio State, not so much. The Buckeyes laid a massive egg:
OSU halftime numbers:— CFB Film Room (@CFBFilmRoom) January 1, 2017
7 drives
5 punts
2 missed FGs
1 Mike Weber rush att
The second half didn't get any better. Clemson's aggressive defense controlled Ohio State's offense, and when J.T. Barrett did get chances to take shots the Tigers made the plays instead of the Buckeyes. This game was officially over when Ohio State fumbled away its first second-half possession. It reached humiliation when Van Smith picked off Barrett on 4th and 27 in the end zone and gallivanted 86 yards the other direction.
Alabama and Clemson have been the consensus top two teams all season, and they showed why in the final games of 2016. Now we get a rematch of the very entertaining, competitive CFB Championship from a year ago.
And a question: since we don't have Chick-Fil-A in West Michigan (our very first opened this week, and I only go out to eat on Sundays), are peaches available at the restaurant? Otherwise they need to just drop the "Peach" from the bowl name…
$.07--The Orange Bowl was center stage on Friday night, with Michigan and Florida State battling in a game which merits "instant classic" status. There are so many storylines, so many rabbit holes to go down here.
Foremost is Dalvin Cook. Florida State's running back was the catalyst for everything the Seminoles offense did, both good and bad. His first two carries went for 40 yards, and for good measure he mixed in a 45-yard reception. That helped FSU race out to a 17-3 early lead.
Then Cook did nothing for quite some time. His next 15 carries netted 36 yards, with four of them ending behind the line of scrimmage and not one producing a first down. But home run hitters only need one mistake from the pitcher to make things happen, and Cook took advantage of an overaggressive Michigan front for a 71-yard scamper on third and short. His acceleration through the hole and ability to set up blocks are special, and it's why he is handily the best RB in this draft class on the field. I do have real reservations about his multiple shoulder surgeries, however.
Speaking of injuries, two for Michigan dominated the Wolverines story. Star defender Jabrill Peppers missed the game after tweaking a hamstring during Thursday's practice. This was a stunning development and a major bummer from a scouting standpoint; Peppers vs. Cook was the marquee matchup and could have been illuminative on both prospects. It's another down ending for the junior safety. I remain a big Peppers fan but two of the hybrid LB/safety's worst games from a scouting standpoint came in the last three Wolverines contests, and his missed a final chance to impress.
Many were openly questioning whether Peppers was purposely dodging the game to either avoid embarrassment or protect his health. As soon as that argument started to get really animated on social media, Michigan tight end Jake Butt went down with a knee injury. All of the sudden, the debate evolved from (wrongly) questioning Peppers' will to "why would any prospects play in a meaningless game?" Later reports indicate Butt suffered torn ligaments in his knee, a second devastating injury in the senior's college career.
The timing of the injury here almost certainly wipes out his NFL rookie season and that directly impacts his draft status. Previously projected as a top 50 talent, now the talented Butt could fall as far as the fifth or sixth round in a very deep tight end class. Playing in the Orange Bowl cost him millions, and for what? Yes he has an insurance policy but if you've ever filed a claim you know it'll be near impossible for Butt to win payment on that, and part of the terms of the policy are that he never plays football again directly--and solely--because of that one injury. Trying to prove that will not be easy.
Oh yeah, the game; Florida State won despite a great rally by Michigan's offense, which did nothing for most of the game. FSU defensive tackle Demarcus Walker and his mates terrorized a leaky Michigan offensive line for 15 negative plays. But when Michigan took the lead late in the fourth, things looked great for the Wolverines. A fluky kick return set up Florida State, and QB Deondre Francois found Nyquan Murray over Jourdan Lewis (his worst game) in the end zone for the go-ahead score. Michigan's poorly conceived death gasp (a swing pass?!) ended with a whimper and the Seminoles hung on for a thrilling 33-32 win.
$.08--NFL Quickies
--The end of the season often means bad news for coaches. Such is the case in San Diego, where the Chargers fired Mike McCoy after a 37-27 loss to Kansas City. McCoy lasted four seasons, failing to make the playoffs in the final three. They won just 9 games the last two years and are way down in the AFC West cellar.
--Drew Brees continues to do things no quarterback has ever done before. The latest notch in his Hall of Fame belt…
Drew Brees has eclipsed 5,000 passing yards for the fifth time in his career. Nobody else has done it more than once.— Josh Katzenstein (@jkatzenstein) January 1, 2017
His Saints got destroyed in Atlanta but that doesn't detract from the impressive accomplishment.
--Sam Bradford set the NFL record for single-season completion percentage at 71.4. That's quite a feat, but context is important. Bradford finished dead last among qualifying passers in yards per attempt, and his steadfast refusal to even try and challenge the defense was a big contributing factor into why defenses loaded up to stop the run. Minnesota became the first team this century to finish with fewer than 2.5 yards per carry. They didn't even hit 2.0.
--Colts pass rusher Robert Mathis announced he is retiring. He's in the top 20 in career sacks with 122, including 11 in the last two seasons at age 34 and 35. Few had his electric first step. Great career for a 5th round draft pick from Alabama A&M.
--Also retiring, at least allegedly: Steve Smith, the loquacious Ravens wideout with the Hall of Fame swagger and the game to back it up. Of course he said the same thing last year and came back. Few receivers have ever gotten open as reliably as Smith even well into his 30s. He made sure everyone knew about it too, which made him one of the more polarizing talents in the league.
--I'll let this one speak for itself, though it says a lot about why the Bills are an even bigger disaster waiting to happen than they showed in their 7-9 2016…
Former Jets LB Bart Scott to Bills DT Marcell Dareus: "We can't put the playbook in crayon." pic.twitter.com/GtEuxWur61— Jordan Heck (@JordanHeckFF) December 30, 2016
--Rumors are flying there will be big changes coming in Indianapolis. Should owner Jim Irsay opt to pull the plug on GM Ryan Grigson and Head Coach Chuck Pagano after another underwhelming season, few Colts fans would shed any tears. It begs the question, why did Irsay give them both contract extensions after an even worse 2015?
--Somehow, some way, Reggie Bush ran for negative yardage in 2017. A midseason desperation pickup by Buffalo, Bush netted minus-3 yards on the season. That's hard to do.
--There were no games on Thursday night. Did you miss it?
$.09--Draft Quickies
--Arkansas TE Jeremy Sprinkle is an impressive dual-threat prospect worthy of third- to fifth-round consideration based on his on-field play. However, one of the dumbest acts this side of the Darwin Awards jeopardizes his NFL future.
Arkansas played in the Belk Bowl, and each player received a gift card for a shopping spree at a Belk store. That wasn't enough for Sprinkle. He was arrested for shoplifting at a Belk store. Aside from the criminal aspect, that level of egregious stupidity should turn off NFL coaches who have to take responsibility for Sprinkle. It's worth noting this is his first known off-field incident.
--Texas A&M edge rusher Myles Garrett played like he didn't want to get hurt in the Advocare Texas Bowl. He recorded just one tackle against Kansas State, which won 33-28. It's not a great look for Garrett but given the context of the bowl game, it's understandable. The shadow of Jaylon Smith's devastating injury weighs heavier than you can possibly imagine for these top-shelf prospects.
Garrett's teammate Daeshon Hall had a great game, recording 2.5 tackles behind the line and consistently besting the blocking. He's got experience being the No. 2 rusher on a team, an underrated ability as most pass rushers enter the NFL having been the top dog their entire careers. I still think it's a great idea for the team who takes Garrett in the top 3 to come back and take Hall in the third or fourth round.
--One intriguing early entrant is Wyoming RB Brian Hill. It's a very deep running back class but Hill stands out for his vision and acceleration at his 6'1", 213-pound frame. He'll need to prove he can catch (41 career receptions) and Hill did struggle against Nebraska and BYU (in a torrential downpour), the two best defenses the Cowboys faced all year. Right now Hill looks like a third-to-fifth-round pick.
--Northwestern ILB Anthony Walker declared for the draft shortly after the Wildcats' impressive win in the Pinstripe Bowl over Pittsburgh. Walker is a fantastic tackler with good-not-great range, a limitation he often overcomes with outstanding play recognition and anticipation. He reminds me of Jacksonville's Paul Posluszny when he was a second-round pick out of Penn State for the Bills.
--Miami FL tight end David Njoku declared shortly after a tour de force Russell Athletic Bowl win over West Virginia. He's an outstanding physical specimen who progressively grew into a pretty dangerous receiver. Watch him rise into a top 50 overall pick. I haven't yet evaluated him closely enough to know whether that's a good idea or not.
$.10--The new year is a time for resolutions. Some are profound and grandiose, others are minor and perhaps silly. Among resolutions of New Years' past for me:
- Dunking a basketball without traveling to do it
- Learning fencing
- Being a better friend to those who have been good ones to me
- Finish penning the book I've been writing in my head for years
- Returning to the competitive volleyball circuit
- Being more patient with my kids
All those are from the last five years, and I'm proud to say I've accomplished four of them. At some point I'll learn fencing and finally wrap the 677-page-and-counting breakout novel (note: befriend an editor) too.
This year, in lieu of what has been such a divisive and stressful time for our country, my resolution goals are a little more vague and altruistic. They will be difficult to achieve, perhaps even more difficult to measure. Yet they're also fiercely important to me.
My first resolution is to try and help everyone "just get along", as Rodney King once famously pled. Politically and socially I am firmly in the middle between two widening chasms of increasingly divisive and hostile sides. Friends and colleagues to my left and right are both drifting farther away in those directions, and I firmly believe that is the No. 1 problem facing America today.
Compromise and reason have become bad words. Fighting words, even. It doesn't have to be that way. There are too many arguments where both sides have perfectly valid, salient and important points. Maybe it's my curse as a moderate pragmatist to see the truth and the folly in both extremes, but that's where I live. I know I'm not alone.
So this post is to try and help achieve my insanely optimistic goal. Whether you think Black Lives Matter is a vital component of necessary socioeconomic change or a terrorist organization--and I have people I love on both platforms--there is a necessity to acknowledge the other side's points. Even if you have no concept of understanding that point of view, they're not just making it up to piss you off.
I'm not asking you to abandon your beliefs. I'm asking you to scale back the incendiary rhetoric. The only winner there is hate. Not you. Not the other side. If you actually listen, you might find the goals at the end of the divergent roads might actually come together.
My second resolution is building upon an earlier one: being a better, more supportive friend to those who have been one to me. As an example, I have a lot of friends and social media acquaintances who have resolved to lose weight and get healthier in 2017.
My resolution is to help y'all. I might ask you what you've eaten today, or how the trip to the gym went, or if you're still making the concerted effort. It will be supportive and positive, but if you stray I'm going to do my best to get you back on the path. You might not want to hear it, but you might need to hear it. Just as I would want you to admonish me if I were to slip up by, say, eating an entire deep dish pizza for lunch or blow of a publishing deadline to day drink and watch Archer, I'm going to deliver some tough love. Understand it comes from a supportive, caring friend.
Sure, I'd like to lose 10 pounds. I'd like to curse less. I'd love to finish that damn (err, dang) novel, maybe read one too for good measure. But I'm a lot more worried about us than just me. I can't be happy until we are happy.
I hope everyone understands that and tries to make these happen for everyone in their lives. They are the most important things each and every one can do in 2017. Happy New Year!

England by the ancestors of the Willersbay family when they migrated to the region after the Norman Conquest in 1066. The Willersbay family lived in Lincolnshire at Willoughby.
Willersbay Early Origins
Lincolnshire where Sir William de Willoughby was Lord of Willoughby, a Norman knight who was granted the estates by William the Conqueror. Baron Willoughby de Eresby was a title created by writ in 1313 for Robert de Willoughby.
"Thorganby Hall [in Thorganby], formerly the seat of the Willoughbys, is an ancient and handsome stone mansion, situated in well-wooded grounds commanding fine prospects." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Matson in Gloucestershire played an important place in England's history. "This place, during the siege of Gloucester, became the head-quarters of Charles I.; and the ancient manorhouse, erected by Sir Ambrose Willoughby, Knt., in the reign of Elizabeth, was on that occasion occupied by the king's sons, Charles and James."

Willersbay Spelling Variations
Willersbay Spelling Variations
Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence in the eras before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate regularly changed the spellings of their names as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Willersbay have been found, including Willoughby, Willowby and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. For such families, the shores of Ireland, Australia, and the New World beckoned. They left their homeland at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. Many arrived after the long voyage sick, starving, and without a penny. But even those were greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. Numerous English settlers who arrived in the United States and Canada at this time went on to make important contributions to the developing cultures of those countries. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Willersbay were among those contributors: Francis Willoughby, from Portsmouth who became Deputy Governor of Massachusetts in 1678; Lady Ann Willoughby arrived in Barbados in 1679 with her servants.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Verite sans peur
Motto Translation: Truth without fear.

If your BF confessed that he used hookers in the past a few times and gotten a dozen happy endings at certain "massage parlors", how would you react?
Most Helpful Girl
It depends on how he is as a person in general, maybe he just wanted to experiment a bit and is over it now? I wouldn't be happy if he told me that, but I would try to understand the reason behind it. It did happen before he knew you. Just make sure it's in his past, you wouldn't want a boyfriend who still has a thing for hookers.
The most important thing is how you feel about it. Can you still respect him? Do you feel like this is something that will keep on bothering you?11|00|0

"Methods in Behavioral Pharmacology" offers a complete description and critical evaluation of most, if not all, methods available to study the effects of drugs on behaviour. It is not limited to the analysis of a particular class of pharmacological agents in a limited number of paradigms. "Methods in Behavioral Pharmacology" covers all paradigms without reference to specific pharmacological compounds. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the methodology used to study the behavioural effects of legal and illegal drugs. It also provides an in-depth presentation of dependent variables, their quantification and a critical evaluation of their advantages and disadvantages.

March 26, 2012 | Daniella & Letisha Jones-EllisUsher's new single 'Climax' doesn't just seem to be a favourite with his fans in the form of his public, but also with his fellow musicians too.
In fact the UK's Black and White rapper Wretch 32 liked it so much, he's jumped on the track's instrumental to give his own account on the relationship's that have just reached that all time end.
Taken from his upcoming mixtape release Wretchercise, this morning the London born lyricist followed his release last week by co-hosting on the capital's radio station ChoiceFM. Joining presenter Max, Wretch sat back as listeners credited his new track as a 'go hard' hit, as opposed to the disappointing rating 'go home'.
Wretchercise will be coming soon where fans will get to hear Wretch in his original bar-spitting glory. That's the reason you all fell in love with him right?
So do you guys agree with Choice's listeners? Check out Wretch's version below.

Patty that is really interesting! Funny thing is, my dad just recently talked about how "oh I'm sorry, sometimes I say mean things as a way to motivate you." "Look, I made comments that you had gained weight, and then you lost it." "It worked."
....yeah because it was that easy. I was 14 years old and I hated myself. I felt so fat and gross, and he confirmed the bad things I thought about myself. I didn't lose weight because HE motivated me. He just made my depression worse.

GELONG Thubten was born Shiva Wint, but was given the name Thubten when he was ordained as a Buddhist monk, as it means "following the meanings of Buddha".
He is someone children will relate to well as he has certainly "been there and done that."
Born in London and of Anglo-Indian descent, he has experienced racism, and lived the "sex, drugs and rock 'n roll" lifestyle that might seem glamorous to young people. But he has also experienced the downside. "My main interest was money and success and I was very materialistic when I was younger," he said.
"I decided to become an actor and went to drama school in New York where I lived a very hedonistic lifestyle with lots of parties and fast living. But I really fell apart and made myself ill through drink and drug abuse and developed a heart problem at 21.
"I knew I had to sort myself out so I decided to go into meditation."

MapConstraints.notNull(), which

In order to be effective, constraints should be deterministic; that is, they should not depend on state that can change (such as external state, random variables, and time) and should only depend on the value of the passed-in key and value. A non-deterministic constraint cannot reliably enforce that all the collection's elements meet the constraint, since the constraint is only enforced when elements are added.

Calm is shattered by rising friction
Our correspondent finds the welcome mat put away for the English media's visit
SET AMONG THE CEDAR TREES IN THE tiny village of Marienfeld, the Hotel Klosterpforte describes itself as "a tranquil oasis". It is for that reason that Luiz Felipe Scolari chose it as Portugal's base for the World Cup finals, away from prying eyes and far removed from the distractions of the outside world, but that sense of calm was interrupted yesterday as the British media arrived in force, reminding the Brazilian why it might not have been a match made in heaven had he accepted the offer to succeed Sven-Göran Eriksson as head coach of the England team.
Scolari, on this occasion, was nowhere to be seen, but his presence was felt throughout a tense press conference in which the English media were left feeling…

New York State Fossil Fuel Divestment Bill
New York State Senator Liz Krueger has introduced a fossil fuel divestment bill that would require immediate divestment of New York's $170 billion state pension fund from coal, and divestment from oil and gas by 2022. Divestment, and prohibition of reinvestment, applies to the "two hundred largest publicly traded fossil fuel companies, as established by carbon content in the companies' proven oil, gas, and coal reserves." The Comptroller is permitted to cease divestment or even pursue reinvestment in fossil fuel companies if the Fund loses one-half of one percent of its value as a result of divestment.
The Fossil Fuels Divestment Act, which already has 32 co-sponsors, was simultaneously introduced in the New York State Assembly. Said Senator Krueger, "Divestment is financially prudent, morally imperative, responsible policymaking, and the time for action is now."
Forty activists from the #Divest NY coalition lobbied New York state legislators for the Fossil Fuels Divestment Act on May 8, as a kickoff to a week of Global Divestment Mobilization.
According to State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, at least $5 billion is invested in various fossil fuel companies, including $1 billion in Exxon. Exxon is presently under investigation by New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman for its role in funding climate deniers even though its own scientists were warning the company about the reality of global warming. Comptroller DiNapoli, the sole trustee of the huge pension fund, has stated a preference for engagement with fossil fuel companies over divestment, despite that fact that engagement has never had any tangible results.
The Fossil Fuels Divestment Act, a version of which was carried by Senator Krueger in 2015, will be heard in the Civil Service and Pensions Committee and the Assembly Government Employees committee.
#DivestNY is sponsoring several actions during Global Divestment week, and has an ongoing petition campaign to divest all six New York State and City pension funds, total value $350 billion.

The new generation of the Skoda Octavia has been rated with 5 stars after being crash tested by the ANCAP.
Good news for those of you living in Australia who were looking into the new generation of the Skoda Octavia because this is one safe ride to own, according to ANCAP and the latest crash tests. The 2014 Skoda Octavia has claimed a maximum five-star safety rating, which is a significant improvement compared to the previous four-star result of its predecessor, scoring 35.87 points out of a total of 37 and 15.87 points out of 16 in the frontal offset crash test.
The new generation of the Skoda Octavia has also managed to set a perfect score in the side barrier impact and the side pole impact tests but the lack of seatbelt reminders and the seatbelt pretensioners for the rear passengers is what made it score one point under ANCAP's scoring system. If it had these features, the new Skoda Octavia generation would have scored 36.87 points out of 37, making it safer than the B-Class, than the Volvo V40 or the new 3-Series generation. The new Skoda Octavia has also scored 5 stars when it was tested by the Euro NCAP this spring.

I'm looking for ideas on how to store pantographs? I looked through mission organization and didn't see any. What do you do??
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm looking for ideas on how to store pantographs? I looked through mission organization and didn't see any. What do you do??
Not very pretty, but I roll mine up and stick them into old six-pack cartons which sit on the floor beside the LA!
i use empty paper towel rolls & roll them up onto them- held with a rubber band- these are stacked in a (decorative) box they fit nicely in- i think my square box has 25 rolls standing in it-(5X5) you could probably find plastic (totes) that would hold many & stack
hiding away in my stash where i'm warm, safe and happy
My $store has messenger tubes. I wonder if something like that or mailing tubes would work?
I use a clear vinyl purse hanger. They fit in perfectly and I can see the designs without having to get them out. You could also use an over the door clear vinyl shoe holder.
I'm dumb what is a pantograph?
I don't consider myself dumb, but...I would like to know too,
A pantograph is a long paper pattern that is printed with a quilting design that long arm quilters follow when doing edge to edge quilting motifs. You follow the lines with a laser light or stylus to duplicate the pattern on the quilt.
Office supply stores carry racks designed to hold rolled blueprints, maps, etc. You might check them for size. Also, the shoe racks that hang on closet rods may work.
Shirley in Arizona
I use 1 1/2" PVC pipe that is cut to fit the depth of my shelves and they sit one next to the other with the panto rolled up inside. I then label each with a number and have a notebook with a sample of each with that number.
I have mine in a mesh over the door shoe rack, some of them are too long so I cut the bottom out of some and let the tall ones slide into the one below.
I use a pretty metal wine rack.
I also use paper towel tubes, wrapping paper tubes for the wider ones. I roll most of them and store inside the tube and write the name or draw a small pic on the outside. I store them in magazine holders, since I got rid of most of my magazines.
When I bought my laq it came with a wooden plate that had like a sampler of 4 or 5 different quilting designs on it . someone told me you could get somebody with a router and make any design for LAQ to use ith a stylus instead of with the laser lite.
Debbie in Tn
Many years ago, when a fashion fabric store was going out of business, I bought several pattern file cabinets for $25 ea. One is now dedicated to my LA with thread in 1 drawer, pantos in 2 drawers, tools in 1 drawer and templates in another.
The pantos are displayed in a binder with sections for the types: general, jeuvenile, floral, leafs, holidays.... On the divider page there is a very small picture of design of each panto in that section. In the section there is a full size on standard size paper to show the density and on the back a picture at about 50% to show the design. This page also includes the name of the design and other important information. They are each rolled and have a rubberband (although I do like the paper towel tube idea to protect the pattern-it's a big $investment), with the name on the outside. The file drawer is divided into sections corresponding to the binder. The customer can easily flip through the binder.
Another idea is to make make out of clear vinyle just like a shoe keeper. I have seen them made for storing interfacings too. Each pocket can be labled with what it holds and it can be hung right by your machine. The idea is here on the QB somewhere.
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
I have 4-5" pegs on the side of a thread cabinet that holds my panto's. I also cut a 8x11piece & put it in plastic sleeve in a notebook so it would be easy for people to choose & to see all the choices. I also separated them with labels. That way I don't have to unroll them to show different ones.
Do what you want...Love what you do!!
Thanks for all the great ideas
Wine bottle holder works great. I roll them with design on outside and slide them into the opening.
I bought a map box (the one that held the rolled up maps in tubes) from the Borders shop that went out of business near my house. It is great. It holds my pantos and my rulers near my Innova.
I found a bathroom plastic cabinet at a garage sale with a very tall dwr at the bottom which works good; they stand on end in rolls; the upper dwr I use for thread. It is about 12 inches wide but 3 foot tall so it fits under my LA at the end easily.

Vandals damaged dozens of headstones this week at the historic Jewish Cemetery north of St. Louis.Read more here.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. it is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
