For each $1 donation to Hospice Buffalo, customers will receive a specialty donut as thanks
Dunkin' Donuts, "America's all-day, every-day stop for coffee and baked goods," will look ahead to spring through a special partnership with Hospice Buffalo in support of the 27th annual Hospice Buffalo Spring Bouquet Sale.
Participating Dunkin' Donuts locations in Erie County are offering guests a special "Flower Power" doughnut as a thank you when they make a $1 donation to Hospice Buffalo. The specialty "Flower Power" doughnut is filled with cream and topped with strawberry icing with an accent of chocolate and white drizzle in the shape of a flower. The specialty donuts will be available through Saturday, March 9.
Participating Dunkin' Donuts restaurants throughout Erie County will also offer guests a fresh flower bouquet when they make an $8 donation to Hospice Buffalo. The fresh bouquets feature a mix of roses and asters, as well as other fresh flowers and greens.
"Dunkin' Donuts is honored to take part in this timeless event in support of the critical work of Hospice Buffalo, which provides the highest level of care and support to individuals and families throughout Western New York during a time of great need," said Dunkin' Donuts Field Marketing Manager Alisa LaPlante. "I encourage residents throughout the greater Buffalo area to look ahead to spring with a delicious treat or beautiful bouquet while supporting Hospice Buffalo."
The fresh flower bouquets will be available through March 8 at the following Dunkin' Donuts restaurants: 6800 Transit Road in Williamsville; 5090 Genesee St., in Cheektowaga; and 1145 Union Road in West Seneca.
Additionally, through March 31, Buffalo residents are invited to enjoy a new kind of happy hour at Dunkin' Donuts with 50 percent off any hot or iced beverage from 3 to 7 p.m. (Limit two per guest; at participating locations only).
The 27th annual Hospice Buffalo Spring Bouquet Sale benefits the Hospice Foundation, which supports Hospice Buffalo, Essential Care for Children and other agencies of The Center for Hospice & Palliative Care. These agencies are dedicated to the care and support of individuals with a serious or end-of-life illness. Since its inception, the bouquet sale has raised more than $4.1 million to support hospice care for Erie County patients and families.

Sharon cut my sons hair after a hair mis hap at another salon. She did a fabulous job! Fixed everything and his hair looks awesome. Would recommend stylist!
Kristi C. | Yelp
Friday afternoon and DH and I needed haircuts - no problem! Christy did a very nice job on mine and hubby looks neat and clean again. We don't know the name of the stylist who did his cut, but she tamed those curls!
Holly Huizar | Facebook
I love going to see Becky and Kelly. They are awesome. They treat my daughter and I like family. When I move out of Waterford I will continue to go see Becky and Kelly. They do such an amazing job every time i'm in there. I will continue to go there as long as Becky and Kelly works there!!
Sue F. | Grondins.com
Diane in Auburn is the best. She handles busy days cheerfully and always professional. Even on days when the salon is shorthanded Diane makes me feel like I am important. And my hair looks fabulous!
TG | MLive
Jennifer is awesome and never cuts your hair too short. Their prices on chemical services and retail products are the best in town. And they accept appointments.
Lisa S. | Yelp
Got a great haircut there this afternoon. Just needed a trim and some layers cut in, mind you, but Jamie H. did exactly what I asked and it only took about 20 mins, which is record time for my thick mane of hair.
KatyB | Grondins.com
Sara, I Love My Hair! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have had so many compliments. I hope you made good notes because I will be back.
Steph, my mom loves her hair too... Said "I'll go back!" She received compliments from friends a church too so maybe you will see some of them in the future as well!
Julie L. | Grondins.com
Just wanted to say thanks again to Diane at the Grand Blanc Grondins for giving me a great haircut today! She really took her time to make sure the haircut looked smooth and even and hung nicely--not easy with my long, thick hair! I made sure to write down her schedule so I can come back when she is there for my own hair and my kids! Thank you!
elation | Yellow Pages
I was a faithful client to a higher priced salon in waterford for years. After appointment after appointment, the stylist never cut my hair the same despite me asking for it to be done the same way every time.
Jamie M. | Grondins.com
I just want to give props to Judy. My husband and 3 boys have always gotten their cuts at the Clio location. Our youngest is 20 months and even though he cries Judy does a great job. Because of Judy we will always use Grondins!

Each Wednesday we'll bring you a Q&A; with a Ravens player to help you learn a little more about the team. Today's guest is running back Willis McGahee, who averaged 77 rushing and receiving yards in the first three games and rushed for five touchdowns but has since touched the ball less often. McGahee discussed his role in the offense, the hits that running backs take and his affinity for cars.
Question: :: The Ravens are 3-1 when you get at least seven touches in a game but 1-2 when you get six or fewer. Coincidence?
Answer: :: I said that to myself, but you know, things just aren't going our way right now, regardless of if I'm on the field. But I feel like when I'm on the field, I can help the team a whole lot more than not being out there.
Q:: Are you comfortable with the coaches' explanation that there is only one football to share, but that you are still a critical cog in this offense?
A:: At this stage in my life right now, I've learned that you can't cry over spilled milk because if I cry, I'm not going to win that battle. It's just going to make it seem like, "Oh, McGahee's pouting because he's not touching the ball." I just take it in stride, man. I take whatever they give me. I try to make the best of my opportunities, but when you don't get as many opportunities as you did in the beginning of the season, there's really nothing I can do about it.
Q:: Since 2007, when you gained 1,207 yards and seven touchdowns on 294 carries, you've rushed 217 times for 872 yards and 12 touchdowns. Is this the role you envisioned when the Ravens traded for you before the 2007 season?
A:: Not really, but you've got to look at it like this: Ray [Rice] is the future of the Baltimore Ravens. They brought Ray in, this coaching staff, and you can't do anything but expect Ray to play. It's not like they're going to let him sit on the sidelines. He was a second-round draft pick. So he can't sit on the sidelines. They're getting him ready. I don't know if I'm going to be here next year or the year after, but I'm content with whatever it [his role] is.
Q:: Who is the toughest opposing tackler you've faced?
A:: I would say that in the seven years I've played, I would probably have to give it to [Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety Troy] Polamalu. He's everywhere. When you're running a stretch play and you get to the outside edge, he's right there. And he's not going to hit you high. He's going to take your legs out, so that right there is probably the toughest thing for me.
Q:: Considering the punishment running backs absorb, what kind of mentality does it take to be a running back in the NFL?
A:: You have to be cocky. I'm not going to lie, but you have to be cocky. It's like being a DB [defensive back]. You don't want somebody who's out there and just going like, "Uh, OK, I think I'll go out here and play." No, you've got to go out there and have swagger. You've got to be ready to do whatever, and you've got to back it up. I've learned that over the years. I used to be a talker, but most people didn't like it when you talked. They would say, "Shut up. Just play the game." So now, I've learned to not just talk. I just stand back there and keep it to myself.
Q:: What was your welcome-to-the-NFL moment?
A:: [Laughs.] When we played the Tennessee Titans in the preseason, my very first carry and Keith Bulluck was like, "McGahee ... you're not going to run here." I was sitting there and thinking, "I don't even know this guy, and he doesn't even know me." From then on, I was like, "OK, you can't be nice. You've got to talk [smack]."
Q:: Is there an athlete, entertainer or actor you would pay money out of your pocket to see?
A:: I would pay money to see Beyonce. Who wouldn't pay money to see Beyonce? And I want to see Beyonce. I want to talk to her and give her a hug and try to talk to her. Just about how things are going and if things don't work out, you know. [Laughs.] Can't do nothing but try.
Q:: I read that back in 2006, every car you owned was painted black. Is that still true today?
A:: I've got an Infiniti truck, which is gray. I switched it up. Just something different.
Q:: Who is the bigger car aficionado: you or former Ravens linebacker Gary Stills?
A:: I would give it to Gary, but I go for the more exotic cars. I'm different. I like the Porsche trucks, the [Mercedes-Benz] CL600. I try to get things that I know nobody is really going to go out and try to buy. I had a Bentley, but I didn't like it. Eastern Motors gave me a Bentley to drive around, and it was cool at that time, but it wasn't me.
Q:: What is your go-to meal? Is there one food you will not touch?
A:: I will not touch liver. [Laughs.] It smells good when you're cooking it, but when you bite into it ... [Shivers.] Liver and cauliflower. My go-to meal is fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and yams.

As energy costs rise, it is important to find different solutions that help conserve energy and keep your heating and cooling expenses to a minimum. Because heaters and air conditioners are the largest energy consumers in homes today, one way to start reducing the use of energy is to install electronic air duct dampers. This 10-Inch Diameter Normally Open Electronic HVAC Air Duct Damper allows you to shut off airflow to unoccupied or unused rooms, which limits the flow of heated or cooled air to the areas that really need it. The airflow changes the temperature in the occupied areas faster than conventional air ducts, providing shorter run times for your heating and/or cooling system, allowing you to use less energy and save money. By adding one or more dampers you can create zones throughout your home that can be electronically controlled. A 24V AC power supply, sold separately, is required for use in a single-zone system.
Multi-Zone Control
Enjoy having complete electronic control of which rooms your HVAC system heats or cools by using dampers in conjunction with one of the following RCS HVAC air duct zone controllers and a multi-zone thermostat:
- 2-Zone Controller
- 4-Zone Controller
- 4-Zone Controller RS-485
- 6-Zone Controller RS-485
Single Zone Control with INSTEON
This electronic damper also offers the flexibility of being controlled from your INSTEON network by connecting a plug-in 24V AC power supply to the damper and plugging it into an ApplianceLinc. Once that connection has been made the damper can then be operated from any INSTEON controller, such as a KeypadLinc, SwitchLinc or RemoteLinc; all items sold separately.
For wiring between the damper and zone controller, damper and power supply, or zone controller and power supply, simply run 2-conductor wire between them. 18-gauge or 22-gauge wire is recommended.
Normally-Open or Normally-Closed Models
When no power is supplied to the Normally Closed unit, the damper will be closed. When no power is supplied to the Normally Open unit, the damper will be open.
Ultra-Secure Seal Eliminates Air Leakage
A specially designed solid positive seal eliminates air leakage, which can reduce efficiency and cause "wind" noise in the system. This duct damper is designed for virtually silent operation.
Additional Sizes Available
Normally Closed:
6 inch diameter
8 inch diameter
10 inch diameter
12 inch diameter
14 inch diameter
16 inch diameter
Normally Open:

8 inch diameter

Food Allergies: Are They Increasing?
Unless you know someone with a food allergy, the act of preparing a meal and eating seems fairly straightforward. For those affected by serious food allergies, ingredients must be carefully read and packaging practices must also be scrutinized to avoid anything from slight discomfort to a life-threatening episode.
While it's clear that food allergies are costly and inconvenient, it remains unclear what causes them, especially when they are increasing at an alarming rate.
Exponential increase in the past decade
Food allergies have increased in young children by nearly 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is an international problem, as European hospital admissions for anaphylaxis increased seven-fold over a decade of gathered data, according to the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
It's not just that allergies are increasing in occurrence or frequency of reactions. The American College of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology finds that 30 percent of adults and 40 percent of children are affected by allergies. With allergies becoming more widespread and frequent in occurrence, it's clear changes need to be made somewhere. Unfortunately, the increase can't be attributed to a single identifiable cause.
Potential causes for the increase
Research from the European Molecular Biology Organization found that an increasingly globalized world where people increasingly import of exotic products and incorporate foreign foods into their diets could play a role.
Other researchers postulate that the influx of food preservatives and non-natural products have made people more prone to developing food allergies.
Whatever the cause of this food allergy increase, most researchers agree that more research is needed to create an accurate and thorough pool of data.
How to stay safe
The CDC and ACAAI both report that eight main food groups account for approximately 90 percent of all allergic reactions to food:
- Eggs
- Fish
- Shellfish
- Peanuts
- Tree nuts
- Milk
- Wheat
- Soy
In some countries, mustard seed is also considered a major allergen because of severe reactions.
In most cases, food allergy reactions range from mild mouth itching or irritation to swelling, difficulty breathing and even full anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is serious and results in a drastic drop in heart rate and blood pressure, along with impaired breathing.
The first line of defense for this potentially fatal reaction is epinephrine, a form of adrenaline that stops the body's allergic reaction. Of course, it's best to avoid anaphylaxis by monitoring ingredients, food consumed in public places and the food preparation process.
To stay up to date on the latest food allergy information, visit trusted sources, such as acaai.org. One recommendation that may surprise some is expert advice regarding children and allergens. Experts used to advise parents to avoid giving peanuts to young children but now, experts say to introduce highly allergenic foods like peanuts early in kids' diets, with 3-5 days between each trial to ensure no reaction is taking place.
As you follow the latest guidelines, you'll be able to help your children and their immune systems become more accustomed to allergenic foods, potentially preventing an increase of future food allergies.

Meat GrinderPosted in Project Vehicles on February 1, 2005
There are really only a few ways to describe the driving style of Encinitas, California, resident Dustin Ewing: It's like running a belt sander on a pool table or sending metal through a meat grinder or a wood chipper. But it wasn't always like that. At one time, Dustin spent most of his seat time on the passenger side. For several years, Dustin watched, helped spot, changed Birfields on his buddy's Land Cruiser and cooked dinner. During that time, he learned a lot about picking a good line and how to build a rig that wouldn't break.
Eventually, Dustin bought this '81 CJ-7 from his brother, who somehow managed to drive it from Las Vegas to Encinitas with a broken rear axle shaft. Dustin went to inspect the "grinding" noise his brother heard during the trip and the whole shaft, drum brake and wheel fell right off the Jeep. The '81 CJ's only real saving graces were the relatively dent-free body, an AMC 360 under the hood and the Dana 300 transfer case. After repairing enough to get it driving, Dustin set out to wheel it and proceeded to blow apart the Dana 30. That's when the real buildup began.
4PhotosView Slideshow
Chassis & Driveline
Dustin did a spring-over for the lift he wanted. The CJ's frame was modified to accept Wrangler leaf springs with a couple of extra leaves added to the packs for more stability and increased height. A shackle reversal was worked into the front, and the wheelbase was stretched to 101 inches, requiring the factory rear-mounted fuel tank to be pulled. Leftover scrapper shocks damp the travel, and a traction bar in the rear damps the spring wrap.
Under the hood, the AMC 360 received an MSD ignition to replace the problematic factory Motorcraft stuff. An aluminum intake manifold and a Holley Truck Avenger take care of intake duties. A set of fenderwell headers and Flowmaster mufflers tune the tone of the burbly V-8.The Dana 30 and AMC 20 axles were pulled and replaced with Dynatrac 60s. A high-pinion 60 was fitted to the rear and stuffed with a spool, 35-spline shafts, drum brakes and 4.88 gears. Then when the bank account recovered and the Pro-Rock 60s came out, Dustin ponied up for a front Pro-Rock with a Detroit locker, like gears and 35-spline shafts. Factory power steering with a steering box brace direct crossover steering linkages made from heavy-wall DOM and high-misalignment rod ends. The factory tranny was tossed in favor of a Ford T-18 manual, which was mated to the Dana 300 and AMC 360 with Advance Adapter components. Power is transmitted to the axles via High-Angle Driveline driveshafts. An extra-long slip joint on the front shaft keeps it from coming apart during droop of the shackle reversal suspension.
7PhotosView Slideshow
Body & Interior
From the looks of Dustin's Jeep, it's hard to believe it was once straight. But with the drivetrain all wrapped up, he sent the then-clean-looking CJ over to JD Fabrication to get an exceptionally strong DOM tube cage and aluminum lid put in. Little did he know that on his very first outing (before the sun came up so he could get photos of his clean, completed rig) he would roll it down a 10-to-12-foot ledge. From there, it's been a downhill ride, and the body has seen the worst of it. Beyond the dents and ripped metal, you'll find flush-mounted taillights and even a framer's reinforcement strap helping to keep the corner panel attached.
The interior was stripped and simplified, including the wiring. Inside, you'll find Moroso switches mounted in an aluminum dash along with Auto Meter carbon-fiber gauges. Beard seats make it comfy up front. A fullsize spare tire, a boat fuel tank, a Hi-Lift jack, a Power Tank CO2 bottle and a sack of tools take up the area where the back seat once was. Somewhere in there, Dustin fits the requisite cooler for beverages and lunch.
Wheels& TIRES
Since most of Dustin's wheeling trips involve loose sand, silt or jagged rocks, he chose Super Swamper Boggers in 37x13.00 flavor. The tough-as-nails paddle-like tires are mounted on OMF 15x10 bead locks.
11PhotosView Slideshow
Good, Bad & What's it For
Dustin's combo works great for the Southern California wheeling his Jeep sees. He frequents Ocotillo Wells, Truckhaven Hills, Glamis and Johnson Valley and even works in a yearly trip up to the Rubicon. The slightly longer wheelbase helps the Jeep climb without sacrificing maneuverability. Dustin wants to replace the easily-damaged fenderwell headers (he's on his second set) with some in-frame pieces. He's also looking for an excuse to swap in a tire-roasting GM powerplant or fuel-inject the 360.
We dig the green driveway flames, but the headlights are a little too bug-eyed looking for our tastes. However, we really like the fact that Dustin's Jeep still has a real steel body that he doesn't even pretend to care about. He's put together a Jeep that almost never has a failure and climbs the most difficult trails with ease.

"On the contents page of issue 68 of Bright Lights magazine, the summary of an article by Joseph Jon Lanthier catches me: 'Shutter Island might be the only psychological thriller abetted by a lack of interest in the psyche'. A similarly gripping assertion was made on Facebook by US scholar Corey Creekmur concerning the most recent current talk-fest film, Inception: its cagey view of dreams, Creekmur thought, showed little interest in or knowledge of Freudian dream-interpretation.
This is not only a cinematic phenomenon or trend. In Melbourne recently, the famous Lacanian expert Renata Saleci spoke about the movement in social fields such as criminology and pharmacology towards a certain, often quite banal form of neuroscience: the kind that pores over images of parts of the brain lighting up in different colours, as if in proof that 'psychological deviations' (like juvenile delinquency) can be seen, charted and quantified this way. Saleci summed up the problem by throwing her hands up in despair: "No psychoanalysis! They see no difference between the brain and the mind!"
And the mind, lest we forget, has an unconscious. And the unconscious is not so easily retrieved or narrativised as we are seeing in these recent, ambitious 'mind game' movies (as Thomas Elsaesser and others have called them). More than ever, people like to take the soft option and replace Freud's term with 'subconscious' - implying that there is something (a thought or feeling) just out of reach, just below the surface, something ultimately easy to fish out into full and mastered consciousness.
But the unconscious is the negation of the consciousness, its true shadow realm, not some adjacent room one can simply enter and ransack. The unconscious is what cannot be ever entirely mastered, the zone that eludes us - at the same moment that it drives us. The unconscious is the space of denial, of fantasy, of distortion, the elaborate revision and transformation of all that is easily viewable or knowable."

Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties and how it changes. An understanding of chemical principles is required to fully understand most scientific disciplines such as biology, medicine, physics, environmental science, geology, materials science, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, forensic science, most branches of engineering and even studio art. Chemists study not only molecules that nature provides but also synthesizes new molecules to be used in many of these fields.
Degree Requirements
All three degrees provide students with a solid chemical foundation to prepare them for graduate school, professional school, or the workforce. The B.S. degree requires more science coursework, while the B.A. degree allows more flexibility for other academic interests. The B.S. in Biochemistry is designed for students with an interest in the biological aspects of chemistry and the pre-health professions.

RICHMOND, Va. – While most of the students at Virginia Commonwealth University are headed home for the summer, there are nine who are headed north for a different reason, to get a chance to compete against the country's best.
Those nine student-athletes are members of the VCU track & field program and will all be competing at the ECAC/IC4A Championships this weekend in Princeton, N.J.
"It's a great opportunity for several of our athletes to put forth one last effort in earning a spot at East Regionals," Head Coach Jon Riley said. "We have three athletes in Quina, DeAngelo and Jazlynn who have a pretty solid spot, but it's always good to try and increase your standings in that regard."
The men's squad will send six athletes to the meet with seniors Walid Berkhedle, Axel Mostrag, DeAngelo Wilson, Kyle Jones and Joseph Edwards being joined by sophomore Josh Bostick.
Berkhedle and Mostrag will be repping the mid-distance crew. Mostrag is currently in the top-85 in the 800-meter, but with shaving a second off his time, he would have a chance to be in the top-48 and a berth in the East Regionals. Berkhedle needs to shave less than a second off his 1500-meter time to find a spot in the regionals.
Jones, Bostick and Wilson will all be running in the 100-meter, while Edwards will be taking off in the long jump. Wilson will also be competing in the 200-meter dash, but the Richmond, Va. native is pretty secure in both events in the Regionals.
The women's side is one down this weekend after sophomore Dionna Hayes fell victim to a hamstring injury at the CAA Championship last week. Other than Hayes, senior Quina Fortune, junior Jazlynn Finney and freshman Niamani Aduma all qualified for the IC4A meet and will be making the trek up I-95.
Fortune and Finney have already secured pretty good strangeholds on berths into East Regionals, but will focus on fine tuning things this weekend in order to be sharp next week. Aduma had an outstanding freshman year and will close it out with a performance in the long jump this weekend.
Fortune has top-25 marks in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes in the East Region, but Riley feels like concentrating on the 200m will be the best bet.
"Quina is running the best she's ever run and to have the best shot of advancing to the national championships, it's probably better to concentrate on just one of those events and obviously the 200 is her stronger event," Riley said.
Finney's second-place finish in the CAA Championships last week put her in the top-48 and will look to secure that spot even more this weekend in the Garden State.
Trials for most events start Saturday morning with the finals scheduled on Sunday.

This appeared in The Week...
My story is somewhat similar... I started learning Kathak at the age of 37 (little late as people start as early as 5). It took me 6 months to convince the teacher that I could do it. After much persuasion and pleadings, she agreed to have me on trial basis for a week. Even though she was pleased, my fellow students( eldest one was 15 and youngest was 6) refused to even talk to me except two(in a class of 16) who would tell me about their school. It took me one year to be friends with everyone and it has been 4 years since. They now miss my presence when I do not attend the class. May God bless them.
nice read :)
I can give two historical examples of this from India.
Acclaimed as one of India's greatest classical poets and dramatists Kālidāsa [probably lived in 5 century CE] was believed to have been a goatherd. He was sicked on to a conceited princess by a set of angruy suitors. Upon realising what had happened, the woman spurned the man and ordered him to return if he ever became erudite. The tale goes that he was blessed with linguistic aplomb by Hindu Goddess Kāli. He called himself her servant - or Dāsa. The poet's works are legendary.
In the 18th century, there was this man Ram Shastri - who was a wastrel brahmin youth till his middle teens and a near illiterate.
All of a sudden, the chap took a liking for education, reportedly went to Benares [then a famed destination for knowledge seekers] and returned home a scholar.
His works are considered to be the most erudite in the fields of the Hindu Advaita philosophy that has been compared with the Koran and the Bible.
I think the lady deserves a HUG. Good for her! And, for several others like her who are doing what they love - not with "I give a damn attitude"; but with, "Maybe we can be friends attitude"
I love your stories..any time I come across one, I want to tell you..so here it is!!!
Never too late to realize a passion :-)
this is so inspiring :) hats off to her
Well done to the European lady! Very inspiring stuff. Some come to India for a nobel and enlightening cause and to better themselves and yet many come here to experience the joys (more like the evils )of Islamic sex. A Scottish friend recently mailed me this shameful and terrible tale of Islamist debauchery, which appeared in The Daily Telegraph UK. Wonder where the forever sermonising and often Hindu bashing Javed and bibi Shabana, the other Javed and his begum Terrible Teesta, their fellow closet islamist, like them masquerading as egalitarianist, Shabnam, are all hiding from this one. No outrage let alone any demonstrations at such religious sanctioned lasciviousness. For some, when it comes to nocturnal lust and libido, ethics and morality can go down the sewer! Read on the sorry tale.

saraheisner needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 47 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Juice in the City
We currently run a successful widget advertising and content business called JuiceBoxJungle (http://www.juiceboxjungle.com). We are launching a new biz called Juice in the City, which offers great local deals and content for moms.
Hip moms, urban and suburban.
We'd like to stay loosely within our current color scheme, but not exactly within it (we like plum, raspberry, orange and lime but not ALL together), and put a new illustrative flair to this brand. We definitely envision a city skyline as part of this logo, along with the name. Fruit may also appear :). Most likely the city skyline is roughly sketched, playful, and done in black thin line. Must be clean and modern but playful. A cross between our current logo (attached below) and the illustrations on http://www.dailycandy.com. We like their whimsical drawings on that site but do NOT like the watercolor sky skyline they have. We'd like to have illustrations but definitely have our own twist on what DC is doing.
Attached is our current logo. Also attached is an example of what we consider to be closest to what we are looking for, from Daily Candy (obviously this is not a logo, but just a "look" we like).

I've driven the long road up Mt. Washington in Pinkham Notch, NH. It's not for the faint of heart, that's for sure. The twists and turns along the road on the way to the top of the 6,288-ft. summit leave you perilously close to the edge at times.
Traversing this 7.6-mi. route over a road that alternates between serpentine tarmac and gravel is impressive enough. Doing it in just 8:02 is unbelievable. But that's exactly what stunt driver Mike Ryan accomplished recently.
Ryan made the trek look easy, reaching a top speed of 94 mph, a speed that I could never image reaching on the picturesque road. Ryan, though, didn't accomplish this in a Honda Accord or a Ford Mustang. No, Ryan established a new record during the Climb to the Clouds Hillclimb driving a Freightliner Cascadia.
Yes, that's right; Ryan climbed Mt. Washington in just over 8 minutes driving a fully equipped Freightliner Cascadia Class 8 truck, reaching speeds of 94 mph.
"The Climb to the Clouds race was a new challenge for me and the crew, and the Cascadia handled the twists and turns beautifully," said Ryan. "The Cascadia's steering system, control and responsiveness is amazing."
Ryan's truck, which he races all around the world, includes an enhanced aerodynamic package and a lighter-weight composite body, and was specifically designed to tackle hill climb races, Freightliner said. The Cascadia features superior aerodynamics, lightweight components, easy-to-maneuver specs, including a 50-deg. wheel cut, and exceptional visibility.
"I work closely with Freightliner's engineers to continually improve my truck, and am proud to represent the company during my competitions," said Ryan. "There's nothing like hearing the roar of the crowd cheering you on, and because of Freightliner Trucks and the Cascadia, it's always a fun, exciting experience."
Ryan transports his truck with a custom Freightliner Business Class M2 106 installed with a heavyweight Jerr-Dan 10 ton BIC carrier tow body.
"Freightliner's trucks don't just help me win races, they get me there on time, every time," said Ryan. "The combination of the reliable and strong Freightliner Business Class M2 106 with the tough Jerr-Dan carrier is ideal for navigating all of the different terrains we travel to the event sites."
Ryan holds six Class 8 records in the Pike Peak International Hill Climb and two at the Queenstown Gold Rush Hill Climb in New Zealand.

This Sunday, 10-10-10, CicLAvia has the potential to be a historic game changing moment for Los Angeles. 7 miles of roadway, snaking from Downtown L.A. up to East Hollywood, with a terminus at Orange 20 and the Bicycle Kitchen will be made open to everyone, everyone except those in a car that is. A street closure for cars is not really a street closure, it is an opening of the street for everything else that could be done in that public space. The streets will be open from 10am to 3pm along the entire route, there is no start or stop, or phases like a marathon route. A lot of people will bike, but this is more than just a giant bicycle boulevard. This is for everyone. People can walk, jog, skate, dance, do cartwheels, jump rope, what ever you want to do, in the middle of the street.
This movement to temporarily re-purpose public streets to encourage all forms active transportation and social gathering, began in Bogota Columbia over 30 years ago. Los Angeles is also not the first North American city to experiment with the idea. However L.A. is also a city long associated with automobile dominance, and as a producer of pop culture exported around the world, is highly influential in the development of emerging cities around the globe. If even in L.A. we can close streets to cars, albeit temporarily, and fill them instead with bikes, walkers, skaters and others, I think it sets an important global precedent.
Summer Streets 2008 (NYC) from Streetfilms on Vimeo.
Here is what it looked like when New York had their first Ciclovia style event in 2008, called Summer Streets.
The hope is that this can become a recurring event, a cultural institution, and not just a one off moment of magic. A high turn out and successful first run, will help keep momentum going to do more, and hopefully inspire other SoCal cities to try it. So I hope you can make it out on Sunday.
For those of us on the Westside, a meet up is happening at the Bikerowave hosted by Damien Newton of LA Streetsblog to make a group pilgrimage East for CicLAvia by bike. To the start of the Mid-Day Ridazz CicLAvia Kids Ride. 8:00 meet up and 8:30 roll out from Bikerowave. I'll ride out from the Santa Monica pier by the cannon at 7:30, so if anyone from Santa Monica is interested in some company getting out to the Bikerowave, you can join me, and ride to the ride to go ride. I'm also planning to bring my in-line skates in my bags as well, because I enjoy skating in the middle of the street just as much as I do biking, sometimes even more so. It's all about people power, in what ever form or number of wheels that happens to take.
For more details check out the CicLAvia website and their blog. Hats off to the organizers, the financial contributors, the City of Los Angeles departments involved, and Mayor Villaraigosa, who made this all possible, I can't wait. Excited!

Some people might been busy these days with preparation for Chinese new year, including me. Actually i really want to make one Chinese new year card, but i just dont have much time to do so. I also have to prepare some chinese new year craft for my students too.. (busy busy busy)
When i have time, i really have to spoil myself with some bath or hair treatment.
OK.Here's a card i recently made. I think this image from the greeting farm stamps is super cute and sweet, unfortunately at first i couldn't find matching sentiment for this. Thanks to Penny black makes it easier for me. This is my first colour combo with purple. I used to hate purple, but now i guess soft pastel purple is so sweet and looks so nice when its combine with other pastel colour. and i also didnt forget to add white popcorn pen for the bubble effect.

Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services
Functional Statements > Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services
A. Immediate Office of the Assistant Secretary
Under the direction of the Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, this Office formulates policy, directs, and coordinates the administration of programs for: special education and services to meet the needs and develop the full potential of children with disabilities; independent living and vocational rehabilitative services to reduce human dependency and restore the productive capabilities of persons with disabilities; and rehabilitation research to enhance knowledge and improve delivery of services. These programs are organizationally located in the Office of Special Education Programs, the Rehabilitation Services Administration, and the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research.
The Assistant Secretary maintains direct supervision over these three Program-level organizations. The Assistant Secretary is assisted by the Executive Administrator who is the principal assistant to the Assistant Secretary with responsibility for coordination and direction of program operations of the Office, supervision of the Staff offices, and oversight of cross-cutting program activities.
The Immediate Office of the Assistant Secretary is divided into four major organizations:
Communications and Customer Services Team;
Policy and Planning Staff;
Management and Support Staff; and
Grants and Contracts Services Team.
Communications and Customer Services Team
The Communications and Customer Services Team (CCS) work unit provides centralized logistical and technical support services to meet communications and customer service needs throughout the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. It provides assistance to the three program components of OSERS and to the Office of the Assistant Secretary (OAS) in meeting component-specific communications priorities, and those that are OSERS-wide in scope.
CCS is divided into two non-organizational teams, the Customer Service Team and the Communications Team, both reporting to the CCS Director. CCS reports to the Executive Administrator of OSERS and includes the following areas of expertise:
- graphics
- writing and editing
- publication development, layout, and design
- control correspondence
- audio-visual support, including the development of multi-media presentations upon request
- electronic publishing
- coordination of the production of materials in alternative formats, including foreign languages, as necessary
- survey and market research support
- development and maintenance of centralized OSERS mailing lists
- information and referral
CCS develops a variety of materials, publications, and other vehicles to ensure that its customers are kept apprised of OSERS initiatives, priorities, and accomplishments. The unit is also responsible for ensuring that OSERS marketing material on the Internet is substantive and up-to-date. The unit is responsible for coordinating and overseeing the clearance of publications developed by OSERS and/or its three program components, and contracting out for CCS support needs as appropriate.
CCS maintains an inventory of all OSERS media support materials, i.e., folders, report covers, brochures, and other OSERS-developed publications currently maintained and distributed by the OAS Information Clearinghouse (the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, requires that a clearinghouse function be maintained). CCS also responds to external inquiries for information; such inquiries are tracked by CCS to determine trends and issues of concern to its various customers and constituencies.
CCS also provides support to OSERS program components in the development and production of component-specific communications products. These products will be identified by each component in coordination with communication points of contact assigned to that component, and such products will be incorporated and reflected in the OSERS-wide annual communications plan. Component-specific communications activities that utilize CCS resources are funded by that component, while those that have an OSERS-wide focus will be funded by the OAS.
CCS controls correspondence, documents receipt of all mail addressed to the Assistant Secretary or referred by the Secretary and determines if a response is required, assigns responsibility for preparing a response, and sets deadlines for completion of replies. It coordinates correspondence, memoranda, and other written messages to assure full and appropriate staff participation in decisions and serves as initial liaison and contact point for AS/OSERS with the Executive Secretariat.

AUGUSTA, maine — A US Airways jet traveling from Paris to North Carolina was diverted to Maine on Tuesday after a French passenger handed a note to a flight attendant mentioning that she had a surgically implanted device, raising security concerns, officials said.
An examination by doctors aboard the plane found that the passenger, a French citizen born in Cameroon, had no scars, U.S. Rep. Peter King said. The woman was traveling alone without any checked baggage and intended to stay in the U.S. for 10 days, he said.
The FBI and Homeland Security Department warned airlines last summer that terrorists are considering surgically hiding bombs inside humans to evade airport security.
Two F-15 fighters scrambled to escort Flight 787 with 179 passengers and nine crew members to Bangor International Airport, where it landed shortly after noon Tuesday.
With the passenger in custody of law enforcement, the Boeing 767 was cleared several hours later to continue to its final destination in Charlotte, N.C.
The Transportation Security Administration issued a statement saying it was aware of "a passenger who exhibited suspicious behavior" during the flight.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the flight was diverted to (Bangor) where it was met by law enforcement. The passenger in question is being interviewed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers," said TSA spokesman Sterling Payne.
The plane was met by state, local and federal law enforcement officers when it landed in Bangor, FBI spokesman Greg Comcowich said.
The Bangor airport is accustomed to dealing with diverted flights.
It's the first large U.S. airport for incoming European flights and the last U.S. airport for outgoing flights, with uncluttered skies and one of the longest runways on the East Coast. Aircraft use the airport when there are mechanical problems, medical emergencies or unruly passengers.
Associated Press writers Eileen Sullivan in Washington, Denise Lavoie in Boston, and David Sharp and Clarke Canfield in Portland, Maine, contributed to this report.

24 Hour Fitness, San Ramon, CA, announced Wednesday it will no longer carry the Lance Armstrong name on its signature clubs.
24 Hour is one of several companies, including Nike and bicycle manufacturer Trek, who severed ties with Armstrong on Wednesday in the wake of a report by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which detailed widespread doping through banned drugs and blood transfusions by Armstrong and his cycling teams. In August, Armstrong was stripped of his seven consecutive Tour de France titles he won from 1999 to 2005 and was banned from professional cycling.
"24 Hour Fitness remains committed to helping our members improve their lives through fitness and does not condone the use of performance-enhancing drugs or procedures," the company said in a statement released Wednesday. "Given the evidence surrounding Lance Armstrong's alleged actions, we have determined that our business relationship with Armstrong no longer aligns with our company's mission and values. Over the coming weeks, we plan to remove the Lance Armstrong brand from our six co-branded fitness clubs and further improve these facilities to enable and inspire our members to achieve their fitness goals."
24 Hour has three Lance Armstrong signature clubs in his hometown of Austin, TX, plus one each in Round Rock, TX, Tualatin, OR, and Denver. The first Lance Armstrong signature club opened in 2005 in Austin. That year, 24 Hour also announced it would become a sponsor of Armstrong's Discovery Channel cycling team, whose jerseys featured the company's logo, and pledged support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
24 Hour no longer has any mention of the Lance Armstrong clubs on its website. In May, the company posted a YouTube interview with Armstrong from its William Cannon signature club in Austin. (The video was recently removed.) After Armstrong's Tour de France titles were stripped in August, 24 Hour reportedly said it was monitoring the situation.
24 Hour currently features Andre Agassi, Shaquille O'Neal and Derek Jeter signature clubs. Magic Johnson has also served as a sports celebrity endorser of 24 Hour signature clubs, an idea spawned under the leadership of 24 Hour founder Mark Mastrov. In a 2005 statement announcing the partnership with Armstrong, Mastrov praised Armstrong's hard work, determination, positive attitude and persistence.
"I haven't had any conversations with Lance or his team in some years now, so it's hard to comment on what (24 Hour President and CEO) Carl (Liebert) and his team have discussed with them," Mastrov told Club Industry Wednesday night. "In the end, Nike dropped him, and that speaks to the issue at hand. So 24 Hour doing the same seems to make good business sense to me."
Nike, in addition to terminating its endorsement contract with Armstrong, also announced it would take his name off the Lance Armstrong Fitness Center at its headquarters in Beaverton, OR.
Earlier on Wednesday, Johnson Health Tech, the Cottage Grove, WI-based makers of Livestrong-branded cycles, said it will continue its support of Armstrong's Livestrong foundation.

Two additional civil suits brought by current or former Bluffton police officers remain unresolved in federal court.
Officer Mark Dorsey, a current employee and member of the Army National Guard, claims town officials passed him over for a bonus and singled him out for discipline because military obligations ate into his work time. The court date for that case will be determined July 26 at a bar meeting in Charleston.
Three former minority officers claim in a 2011 suit that their constructive discharges in October of 2007 stemmed from their opposition to discriminatory hiring practices under Chief David McAllister, who retaliated against separate complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by torpedoing their chances for jobs with Hardeeville.
McAllister said those complaints fizzled in the EEOC because they lacked real merit and will do the same when they reach court. He added that the real cause highlighted by the spate of litigation is the need to reform tort law that incentivizes quick settlements that only encourage more baseless suits.
With a fresh suit brought by current officer Christian Gonzales in June over wrongful suspension and demotion, that brings ongoing litigation involving the McAllister-led department to three cases. The town has already settled two separate suits filed by a former lieutenant of McAllister who claimed wrongful termination and discrimination, costing the town $90,000 toward the $236,000 in damages awarded.
McAllister departs Aug. 1 for a job at an undisclosed private security firm in Atlanta after six years marked by major strides in the department's professionalism and national accreditation.
Town Manager Anthony Barrett, who is explicitly named as a defendant in the Gonzales suit, says McAllister's Aug. 1 resignation was not forced by officials growing leery of the legal bill under his watch.
McAllister said the decision to leave was "in process for some time" as he approached 20 years in the public sector and started thinking about a life beyond it.
"When you work as a police officer, you see the world in a different light," he said. "A festival just means a lot of people we have to keep safe. I want to put a 'Life Is Good' sticker on my car and stop worrying about how the street gets closed and how we keep everyone safe."
In his suit, Dorsey says he notified the town under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) every time he was called to active duty, from homeland security operations in 2003 to Hurricane Katrina aid and a tour of Afghanistan.
But when he returned from duty in September of 2011 he was passed over for a bonus that all other officers received -- a claim that the town denies, demanding proof.
When he told his employers about another compulsory training set for December of last year, management told him he'd been away more than he was at work and hadn't been around even long enough to be trained, according to Dorsey's filing. The town denies the claim.
"All we asked for was appropriate notice according to law before the deployment," McAllister said. "This employee has served almost seven years on various call ups. The law requires that you hold and maintain various positions for five years. We have more than complied with that."
When Dorsey filed a USERRA complaint over this, the town retaliated by initiating a congressional inquiry into his military service that damaged his career, according to his filing.
In a filing answering Dorsey's complaint, the town maintains Dorsey failed to provide proper advance notice of military duties, exceeded the length of service requirements under law, didn't report back to work in a timely manner, that his military service "was not under honorable conditions" and that he scheduled himself for duty that was not required by his superiors.
Gerald Brown, Thomas Loving, and Charlene Webber were all minority officers who left the force in 2007 claiming "constructive discharge," which essentially amounts to a resignation over working conditions.
After separate complaints filed with the EEOC failed, they filed a lawsuit in February 2011 in federal court, each claiming the department kept job postings a secret among white officers, retaliated against complaints and purposefully discredited them when they tried to find employment with Hardeeville.
The town denies every claim beyond the basic facts of the case, which, according to the latest filing dated May 2, sets an Aug. 31 deadline for all motions before a potential trial.

Approximately 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders every year, but no one can really put a number on how many people that have been affected by this heinous crime because it is extremely covert, and underground issue. It is the second largest crime in the world only behind drug trafficking, but it is growing at dangerously rampant rates and will soon pass drug trafficking. When people are trafficked, they are forced to work and/or sell their bodies while also enduring mental, physical, and sexual abuse with hardly any food or pay.
The average age of entry which girls enter prostitution is 13, and this number is still decreasing at an alarming rate. How someone can compel himself to torture and rape an innocent child is beyond me. But these heartless creatures must be STOPPED.

Barry, a shorter bake time will go a long way to solve your cheese finishing before crust race. In my 4 minute bakes, I have a really hard time getting the cheese to finish cooking before the crust starts getting a bit too dark. I've actually started leaving my cheese out to get to room temp and heating my sauce a bit before baking, and that's helped a bit, but it's always a struggle.There is no magical brand of part skim that acts like whole milk. I prefer the flavor of the more opaque, white-ish part skims, which, for me, are mostly the store brands. There's nothing wrong with the more translucent stuff (polly-o, sorrento).In order to melt properly and not burn too easily, cheese needs fat. It need not be milkfat, though. If you have issues with saturated fat, then you can go with any part skim cheese and drizzle a light layer of olive oil over it and it will melt magnificently. The olive oil will also add to the flavor of the cheese. If you have to cut all fats, then I'd still use the oil, but with less oil and less cheese. It's better to have a little cheese that bubbles/browns well than to have a lot of cheese that browns too quickly and is tasteless.
Barry,It is true that most, if not all, of the shredded cheeses sold at retail in supermarkets and the like contain additives, fillers and preservatives but quality mozzarella cheeses for the foodservice market often don't contain those items. For example, the shredded and diced mozzarella cheeses from Grande do not: see the FAQ on this point at http://www.grandecheese.com/contactus/Pages/FAQ.aspx.Peter
That's good to know, Peter. Thanks.Barry

Barnes needs to take advantage of Ebanks. His shot hasn't been falling lately and he seems to have hit the rookie hump but he needs to attack the basket. Ebanks won't be able to stay in front of him. I know Dwight will be there patrolling the paint but if he is aggressive, he'll either get fouled or he can dump the ball off to an open Lee or Landry. Take the high percentage shots and put the jump shots back on the shelf for a while until he gets his mojo back.
Remember the good O'LOL Days when Baron use to postup Nash and absolutely abuse him from down on the block all the way into the free throw.
Me thinking something along the lines of what Hobbes says that he won't play a ton (25 minutes tops)
Curry should easily "GET HIS" tonight.

Anthrax's Scott Ian To Release Official Memoir 'I'm the Man'
Anthrax's Scott Ian has just announced that he'll be releasing an official memoir. The beloved thrash guitarist has teamed up with prolific journalist Jon Wiederhorn to pen the book, which will be titled 'I'm the Man.'
Scott Ian has surely lived a life worth reading about. As a founding member of Anthrax, Ian has experienced the entire lifespan of a small New York City metal band turned commercially successful and eventually iconic over the past 30-plus years. Having released 10 albums with Anthrax and three full-lengths with Stormtroopers of Death while touring the world many times over, you know Ian has got some good stories to share.
'I'm the Man' promises to cover Ian's life from his upbringing "in a dysfunctional home, and his escapism into the turbulent world of heavy metal." "Why a book?" asks Ian. "Because I think my story can connect with anyone and, if I was able to make the life I wanted for myself happen, then anyone can. I'm really excited to be writing a book because the idea of getting forty-something years of stuff out of my brain and onto the page seems very therapeutic. Plus if I didn't do it now, I'd start forgetting and wouldn't be able to share all these killer stories with you, my friends!"
Jon Wiederhorn, who has contributed to Loudwire in the past, has made his mark on the world of metal, having released two acclaimed books this year: "Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal' and 'Ministry: The Lost Gospels According to Al Jourgensen.'
'I'm the Man' is currently scheduled for a Fall 2014 release via Da Capo Press.
