ABC Concrete does great work! Quick turn around time, from the first phone call, to the quote, all the way to the completion of the job. They have very nice and friendly workers, and their price was better than anyone else. Barry was professional and honest, and I definitely recommend them!
Barry was prompt to respond with calls, on time to quote driveway replacement, and on time to do the work. It was great to work with a company that actually did what they said they would do, Job well done....
Barry and his team were great installing a new driveway for me. They answered the phone and had great service. I highly recommend their work.
Honest folks!! I requested an estimate for patching our cracked driveway - Barry showed up and was very honest with us. He advised what we could do to slow down the process - but not to waste our money with patching. As much as he wanted new business, he was honest enough to tell us the truth - even though it meant no business for him in the short-term. So when we're ready to replace that driveway - I'll be calling Barry back!!
Working with ABC Concrete was great. Barry was fantastic to work with throughout the entire project. I was so impressed and grateful for their great communication leading up to the day of the project. The day of the project, Barry was there to coordinate everything and ensure that the project was completed the way we discussed. It was incredibly smooth and they did a great job cleaning up. We are very happy with the work they did for us. Thank you!
ABC Concrete did a phenomenal job on our new driveway in Buford. Everyone was so kind and easy to communicate with. We will be using ABC Concrete again on our future projects!
Very reasonably priced when compared to other quotes that were given. The finished product looks great!
Awesome job! The owner himself came out to supervise the job. Everyone was polite and efficient. Highly recommend these guys!
Quality workmanship and fast! Will use them for future projects! Highly recommend! Thank you Barry and ABC!
We bought a 1990's vintage home in Alpharetta a little over 1 year ago. We have performed a lot of updates which means a lot of contractors. There have been some we were pleased with and some we would never recommend. We poured a pretty extensive extension to our pool apron that included large patio spaces and walking path to exits. I went for weeks trying to find a concrete company to return my call or actually show up after returning my call. Then we found Kent and ABC concrete. They were absolutely great to work with. Excellent knowledge, quality work, no budget surprises, extra work we decided on was done at very reasonable cost and they left the place better looking than when the arrived. It was a very good contractor experience. We know first hand that a bad contract experience is a horrible event to get through. We highly recommend ABC. We will have them back for more concrete work in the future.
Kent promptly returned my message requesting quote. He was at our house within 15 mins of the appointed time to provide a quote to fix some concerning spots in our driveway and extend it to create a basketball court. Advised me that the fixes were not necessary yet and to wait a few years. He did quote on the extension. Asked for a 2nd quote from a competitor who never showed up. Gave the work to ABC who did a great job. They did more than they quoted for but stuck to the price. Highly recommend them.
They were very prompt and did a great job on my flatwork. Two days later they came back to pull the forms and cleanup. Did a much better job of cleanup than I expected. Will use ABC Concrete again for sure.
Great job!
Barry, Kent, and team did a great job! They repaired concrete work around our in ground pool and laid new concrete to increase the overall area of the patio. Barry was great on the front end, providing a clear estimate, relevant perspectives, and great ideas. He called me more than once to check in during the job. Kent and I spoke often so I felt a part of the decision making process. The team was on time and worked hard. The project was done on time within budget. That is very refreshing. Highly recommend ABC Concrete.
Best experience EVER!!!
Barry came by to assess out concrete issue. He was extremely informative, trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. He put our minds at ease and we will use ABC Concrete without reservation, and we recommend this company without reservation, 100%. Thank you, Barry. We truly appreciate you and God bless your company.
ABC Concrete - Driveway replacement.
Barry Ward was prompt to respond with calls/text, was on time to quote driveway replacement, and on time to do the work. It was great to work with a company that actually did what they said they would do, Job well done....
Great finish product
ABC Concrete installed a basketball court for or son.....great job completed one day now were just waiting on painter to paint the court lines....on time and excellent communication. Thanks guys
Very Efficient
Recommended by our home remodeling company ABC CONCRETE did a great job on our new patio installed footing for our new screened in porch also. We just wish our home remodeling company were as efficient as ABC CONCRETE.....Thank you Barry and Kent and your crew at ABC for a job well done.
High quality work
Had new driveway and sidewalk put in. From the initial meeting with Barry to the installation with Kent, ABC was very professional and courteous. They were both on time and communicated throughout the whole process. My driveway was a mess and now it is beautiful!!!! I can't say enough about the crew they have in place. This is a thankless job in the GA heat and they never complained.
Front sidewalk replacement
Very professional on time one day in and out our house was on the market had to get repairs made for new buyers before closing.
Driveway Replacement
Remove and replaced our 25 year old driveway started and finished one day.
New parking pad
We were in need for extra parking for our 16 year old that just started driving. ABC concrete did a really nice job adding an extension to our drive.Barry and Kent were good to work with ......
" great work "
We were needing new patio under our deck that stayed wet all the time. ABC came out did a great job. We will use again for any future concrete work.
Professional service
Barry Ward came out to our property looked at our design gave us some suggestions furnished us with a printed estimate before leaving with a price he honored 4 months later when we decided to move forward with project.
Excellent service
Fair pricing.... the crew and Kent Barnes the owner showed up the morning the job to be started and in eight hours we had a beautiful new patio.......great job ABC.
Great service
First Class Operation!!
I was new to the area and didn't have any recommendations so called the first concrete contractor I found...So glad I did, Barry and Kent were very helpful in designing a driveway that would allow me access to my otherwise unusable basement.Driveway looks amazing and was finished on time as promised ! My next door neighbor asked me if I could send them over to give her a quote on fixing her leaning mailbox...Kent took it upon himself to fix it free of charge!! I just wish more companys operated like this!
Fast and great work
Barry at ABC Concrete was very responsive and accommodating with scheduling an estimate and the actual work. He estimated it on a Friday and I had my driveway replacement done on Monday. ABC Concrete encountered some issues due to a pipe under my driveway and they quickly resolved it and completed the job on time, leaving it very neat and clean. I am very pleased with the work they did.
Replace entire driveway
I never give out a score of 10 for anything but I can tell you that ABC is a 9.9 in my book. I had four companies assess and provide estimates for a project that required digging up and replacing old concrete that was a total mess. The owner, Kent was on site when the hard work was being done which was reassuring. His employees are all long timers which is another plus. His price was not the highest nor the lowest - it was the value and, most importantly, his estimator, Barry provided references. The driveway looks new - completed on time per schedule.
Parking pad
ABC Concrete came out and poured a parking pad so we would have better access to our home my wife is in a wheelchair. ...they did a great job also while they were here did extra grading in my front yard and when asked what we owed them for extra time they said no charge....we appreciate your business. ...
Driveway culvert pipe and replacement of driveway entrance
ABC Concrete did a fantastic job for me and my wife we had a problem with drainage at the street Barry the estimator showed up the same day I can talk and on time that's a plus for me. The owner of a company can't came out with his crew and stayed until the complete job was finished very happy and satisfied with the results would highly recommend also a very friendly crew thank you
Great Experience
These guys were great to work with. Friendly, efficient and personable. The owner came out to supervise the job himself. Awesome job!
High quality workmanship!, professional and efficient. I will have them back for future projects. Highly recommend! Thank you Barry and ABC :)
Professional and efficient! I had to have my driveway torn out and replaced due to it caving in. I had several quotes and ABC was right in line with everyone else. They met me quickly and gave me a quote the same day. Barry communicated the schedule with me often. I will have them back for future projects. Highly recommend! Thank you Barry and ABC :)
We had ABC Concrete install a patio addition for us. From the initial contact through the final clean up, the entire ABC team was professional, on time, neat, courteous, and organized. Both Barry & Kent made suggestions to improve the original design, and the finished patio turned out beautiful. They did a great clean up when finished. We highly recommend ABC Concrete!
Great Job
ABC poured a patio for me. Great job and cleaned up afterwards. This was my second job with them and both times they did a great job. I recommend them highly.
4000 square foot driveway replacement
ABC Concrete did a great job on 4000 square feet of driveway and sidewalk replacement. They tore out hauled off and formed the entire job in one day.Poured it over the next two days and did a great job on cleaning up on the fourth day. My wife and I are very happy and have the best-looking driveway in our neighborhood.
Driveway entrance problems
The slope on our driveway was too steep cars would scrape every time entering and leaving driveway.ABC Concrete did an outstanding job. They did exactly what they promised to do on time organized no hidden surprises very happy with results would recommend highly.
Excellent job on partial driveway replacement
Very happy with work ABC concrete was on time clean neat professional would highly recommend
Their Work Exceeded My Expectations
I called 3 Concrete Companies and ABC Concrete was the most professional, most timely, and most competitive on pricing of the three. I had them bid on a relatively large job, removing all the sidewalks around our large home and pouring new ones. Barry the estimator was quickly at our home and offered an excellent bid. Kent the Owner was on site supervising the entire job through all critical phases. If you are looking for a concrete company who will work WITH you to produce specifically what you want done, who has great attention to detail, who has an outstanding crew, all the right and best equipment, and who have the concrete know-how and the work ethic to see the job through to completion, then I can recommend ABC Concrete without reservation. I am thrilled with the quality and the look of the finished product!!!
Fast clean professional very organized
Slab for pole barn
From the desk of General J. Hendrix retired United States Army. I have used ABC Concrete on four different occasions. Each time they are very organized on time and did an extraordinary job I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again Kent Barnes,Barry Ward and the ABC Concrete crew.
competitive price and excellent service
Barry Ward came out gave us a competitive price and Kent Barnes the owner was on the job with the crew the day that job was started and completed our driveway looks great ABC concrete completely removed and replaced highly recommend this company
Great job
ABC Concrete did a great job on our new patio. My wife increased the square footage of the patio by about a hundred square feet. When I ask Kent how much I owed for the extra square footage he told me there is no charge and thanked me for being Veteran in the United States Marine Corps. Kent, Barry and the entire ABC Concrete crew were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for any project that you might have. Very professional,neat ,clean,organized and on time.
Job Well Done, Stands behind the work!
ABC did a great job on my stamped patio and followed up to address concerns I had later.
Partial Driveway Replacement
Did a very professional job well pleased with the work
Great job!
Barry Ward came out and gave me a great suggestion and a fair price. I went with his recommendations and it turned out just great. That's just what I expect from someone who does this every day. I couldn't be happier. I love my new sidewalk and at Barry's suggestion, my new partial driveway.
Great work, on time and no hidden fees.Would recommended.
Driveway replacement and new stamped patio
ABC concrete was the only company that had a true human being answer the phone. They were out to my house for an estimate within 1 hour. I had scheduled 3 other company's and no one had shown up. Barry estimated the job and printed me out the estimate from his truck within 30 minutes of showing up and measuring the project. I gave them the job. They showed up on time did exactly what they said they're going to do everyone was in uniform all trucks where clean everyone acted very professional. Kent suggested I go with the desert tan color on my stamped patio which was the correct choice. I am very satisfied with everything that ABC concrete did would highly recommend them .
Amanda. Cumming Ga. driveway removal and replacement
Easy to work with. Very clean and work is done efficient. Would definitely recommend. A+ work.
Complete driveway replacement
The driveway on the house i bought was pretty badly damaged. ABC Concrete came and removed the drive and completely redesigned it. It looks great. They came when they said they would, stayed with it until the end. I as very pleased and would definitely use them again
Partial driveway replacement
ABC Concrete did a good job with our driveway repairs. They came when they said they would and cleaned before leaving gas. We'do use them again for future jobs.

As I was writing my last post about "sampling", I knew there was another important resolution/challenge I wanted to commit to in 2008, but I couldn't remember what it was until I walked into Safeway the other night and guess what? What's almost as tempting as Free Food? Discount Food (1/2 price holiday stuff), and what's more tempting than 1/2 price food....1/2 price seasonal food that's only available for a short time, and then it's gone....last chance food!!!
I want to buy 10 bags of these cookies...I swear I do! (And eat them all!) It's taking alot of strength, and I don't know (to be honest) if I can actually NOT buy anymore.....especially @ 1/2 price! Cookies are my absolute favorite, and this year my favorite is anything ginger/gingerbready or with molasses....ugggggg. I've been desprately trying to justify buying more (fast because they could be gone soon!), like.....I won't eat them until Dec. 31......I'll eat my fill and then it'll be over......I'll eat one bag a week (on my cheat day).....I can control myself, really I can (NOT!).
I already know how it's all going down. I just don't know how many bags I can get through before I get thoroughly sick and disgusted with myself. At that point I'll get some wits about me and throw them in the garbage (or hide them for another time...it depends on how sick I make myself!). If I'm really serious, I'll open the leftover bags and dump them out into the outside garbage. If I plan on fishing some out, (of the garbage...yeah that's right...I'm not ashamed to admit it! lol) after the sugar high wears down slightly, I'll throw the closed bags in the kitchen garbage...keeping them safe for future pig out!!!! LOL
So, it's true. I eat crappy food too! 3 more days....what to do....what to do?
Life tastes good!

"Bridesmaids" got the Oscar-nomination equivalent of the bridesmaid's role Tuesday, notching nods for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress. But at least the "Bridesmaids" got invited to the wedding this year.
The inclusion of the comic chick flick featuring one of the most hilarious gross-out scenes in movie history – along with major nominations for Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" and "The Artist" – suggests that after years of a tortured relationship with comedy, Oscar may be ready to laugh again.
There is little funny about the way the Academy has treated comedies over the years – the last laugh-out-loud film to win Best Picture was Allen's great "Annie Hall" in 1978. (We refuse to count the 1999 winner, the overrated "Shakespeare in Love," as a comedy.)
Allen's funniest film of this century earned him three nominations, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Director and Best Picture. "The Artist," the more-sweet-than-bitter silent film that engagingly evokes the days of thrills and laughter, received nominations in those key categories and seven others.
With the nod for "Bridesmaids" co-writers Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo, three of the five nominees for Best Original Screenplay rightfully can be called comedies. The Best Supporting Actress nomination for the irrepressible Melissa McCarthy, whose performance in "Bridesmaids" took the (wedding) cake, may be the biggest indication the Academy is loosening up – or at least is willing to recognize an explosive comic talent.
Perhaps the voters were reacting to "Bridesmaids" producer Judd Apatow's call in November to establish a separate category for comedy flicks. We reluctantly agreed with Apatow's proposal, though Tuesday's nominations give us some hope for more change to come.
In 1935, "It Happened One Night" became the first – and one of the few – comedies to win Best Picture. In the four-plus decades between Frank Capra's classic and "Annie Hall," too many high-quality laughfests lost or never got nominated – among them "Bringing Up Baby," "Dr. Strangelove" and "Some Like it Hot." As we've noted before, for many folks favorite movie moments involve laughing fits spurred by the likes of "Young Frankenstein," "There's Something About Mary" or "A Fish Called Wanda." Such films hold treasured spots in many memories but have little recognition from Hollywood to show for it.
"Bridesmaids" may not be in a position to take everything but the kitchen sink on Oscar night. But this year, the bathroom sink will do just fine.

Word of Caution to RESmed S8 and S8 II Machine Users

The machine disables the humidifier when connected through DC Power. The machine and humidifier will both work properly only when connected to pure A/C power. You will need the DC to AC Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter to operate both.

CPAP Video & FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What does CPAP therapy do?
- CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which holds the airway open so that uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. It is traditionally provided through a nasal mask that seals around the nose to maintain the pressure level.
- Which CPAP masks work on which machines?
Any mask will work with any machine, with one important exception. The ResMed AirMini is only compatible with certain ResMed CPAP masks. Compatible masks for the AirMini are as follows:
- ResMed AirFit™ N20 Nasal Mask
- ResMed AirFit™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirTouch™ F20 Full Face
- ResMed AirFit™ P10 Nasal Pillow
When considering another CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine from ResMed or any other manufacturer, mask compatibility extends to all brands. The AirMini uses non-standard tubing to connect the machine to the mask, and is the primary reason why other masks won't work with the AirMini. Despite this issue, many of our customers consider the AirMini to be an excellent machine.
- How do I choose the machine that is right for me?

- What comes with my machine?
- Machines come with a six foot hose, power cord, at least one filter, and manuals. Most manufacturers include a carrying case which is designed specifically for their equipment. CPAP, APAP, and BiPAP machines do not come with a delivery system or mask. CPAP masks must be purchased separately.
To see the list of what specifically comes with each machine, you can Browse for a machine. Then on the product page, click the "Specs" tab to see a full list of what comes with the machine.
- Do all CPAPs use filters?
- Yes, all CPAPs use at least one filter that is usually a type of foam material and washable. Some CPAPs offer finer filtration with the addition of a disposable paper filter.
Cleaning and changing filters is the only maintenance required for a CPAP machine.
The filters are located at the back of the machine at the air intake.
- Are prescriptions required for mask, machine, humidifier, and EPAP purchases?
Yes. Federal law requires we have a valid prescription on file before we ship your mask, machine, humidifier, or EPAP therapy, including Provent and Bongo RX. You will also need a prescription to purchase the Nightbalance POSA device.

- What is ramp?
- The ramp button on a machine is a feature that allows for a gradual pressure build-up to your prescribed pressure. The feature is enjoyed by those with high pressures because it eases up to their pressure.
- What is exhalation relief?
- Exhalation relief is a comfort feature which reduces the air flow at the time of exhalation, making the breathing process more natural.
The following are the different types of exhalation relief names by manufacturer.
- Philips Respironics = C-Flex, C-Flex+, A-Flex and Bi-Flex
- Resmed = EPR (Expiratory Pressure Relief)
- 3B Medical = RESlex
- Apex Medical = PVA (Pressure Variation Algorithm) Pressure Relief
- Curative Medical = EUT (Expiratory Unloading Technology)
- DeVilbiss = SmartFlex
- Fisher & Paykel = SensAwake Technology
- Human Design Medical = Z-Breathe
- Somnetics = EZEX
Here are some machines with an exhalation relief feature:
Transcend Auto miniCPAP™ Machine with EZEX
PR System One REMStar 60 Series Auto with Bluetooth
AirSense™ 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine with HumidAir™ Heated Humidifier

- What maintenance is required on machines?
- The only care a CPAP, APAP or BiPAP machine requires is to clean or change the filters at the air intake. This keeps the internal parts from accumulating dust. Fine paper filters should be changed out every 30 days, or when they appear soiled. Foam washable filters should be rinsed with clear running water once a week, allowed to air dry, and reinserted.
Here are some other suggested actions to care for your machine:
- Keep the area around your machine clean by removing any dust from the area to improve the air quality delivered to your machine and to you.
- Keep the air intake of the machine unblocked. Curtains, bedding, and papers can easily block the air intake of your machine, reducing the airflow.
- If a humidifier is used with your therapy, do not pick up the machine with the humidifier attached. With most machines it is easy to spill water from the humidifier chamber into the machine causing damage. Manufacturer warranties are voided by water damage to the machine. To avoid this, remove the chamber from the humidifier and then remove the humidifier from the machine rather than transporting them together.
- If a humidifier is used, empty the water from the chamber every morning. Accidents happen. If a family pet or family member moves the machine and humidifier with water in the chamber it is more likely that water could be spilled into your machine. Water damage to a machine voids the manufacturer warranty.

- How do I use a battery to operate my CPAP?
All machines can connect to DC power. Some machines are configured to operate on DC Power and have a DC power outlet. Other machines require AC power and will need an Inverter that turns DC power to AC power.
Having the proper equipment is the biggest key to successfully operating the machine from a battery. For example, if your machine does have a DC outlet and you want to run your machine from a marine battery, be sure to get the correct DC cable for the machine, as well as an adapter cable with alligator clips that fits over the cigarette lighter plug.
CPAP.com sells complete battery kits with everything you need for many machines including the correct cables for those machines and batteries. If you have questions about the specific power needs of your machine, review the 'Power' tab found on the machine's product page, or give us a call at 1-800-356-5221.

- What is CPAP therapy?
- CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP therapy is the most commonly recommended, and the most effective, treatment for obstructive sleep apnea.
A CPAP machine provides air at a constant prescribed pressure. The air is delivered to the person through a tube and a CPAP mask. CPAP therapy provides a constant airflow which keeps the airway open so uninterrupted breathing is maintained during sleep. The air stream eliminates Sleep Apnea events and allows the person to get a restful sleep.
The level of air pressure required to maintain your airway is determined during your sleep study. Your doctor will write a prescription for a CPAP machine set at that pressure.
CPAP therapy is delivered through a nasal mask that seals around the nose, nasal pillows which seal at the nasal opening, or nasal prong masks that seal inside the nares. Full face masks are available for a person who breathes through both the nose and mouth. Many innovative and comfortable options are available and advances in the delivery of CPAP therapy are continually occurring.
For instance: Some machines offer a comfort feature such as FLEX or EPR technology. It provides exhalation relief, a slight drop in pressure at the time of exhalation to help make therapy more natural. APAP, BiPAP and BiLevel machines offer various levels of pressure throughout the night.
- Will my CPAP operate on DC / battery power?
- All CPAPs will operate on DC power with the use of an Inverter to change the current from DC to AC before it reaches the machine. However, many will operate on DC power without the need for an inverter, just a power cord that plugs into the CPAP and ends in a cigarette lighter plug.
Inverters do require a lot of power. If you need to use an inverter to run your machine on battery power, the inverter will probably take about half the life off the battery.
To determine if your CPAP will operate without an inverter, look for a DC outlet on the machine, either at the back or on the side, with a single opening directly in the center. It should be labeled "DC POWER" or similar term. You can also review our Compare Charts to see if your machine has a optional DC cable option.
Here is a video describing different DC cable and battery options for various machines:
- Will my CPAP operate overseas?
- An adapter may be required to plug a US power cord into a wall outlet in a foreign country. CPAP.com sells an assortment pack of World Traveler Power Adapter Plugs, which allow CPAP machines to plug into different types of wall sockets found in different countries.
All the models CPAP.com sell contain power converters that enable the machine to operate on any AC current from 100 to 240 volts without any adjustment.
- What type of battery should I use?
- For longer battery use, we suggest using a deep-cycle marine battery to power the machine. A deep-cycle marine battery is heavier than the ordinary battery, but it has many advantages. The battery is easily found at auto shops and it provides power to the machine for an extended period of time. For example, a CPAP machine set at 10 cm H20 and charged on a deep-cycle marine battery will usually last three nights before it needs to be recharged.
There are small, portable battery packs that will operate a CPAP set at 10cm for at least one night, or about eight hours. CPAP.com sells full Battery Kits that come with everything needed to run your machine off battery power including the correct cables needed for your machine and a battery. You can find the battery kit for your machine Here. On each battery kit page, you can input your machine and pressure setting to see an estimate battery life for your machine.
Some machines have batteries created to be used specifically with them only. Here are some of the machines we carry with integrated or specialized battery options:
Transcend EZEX miniCPAP™ Machine
Z1 Travel CPAP Machine
Transcend Auto miniCPAP™ Machine with EZEX
Z1 Auto Travel CPAP Machine
- How do I prepare for plane travel with CPAP?
- Your CPAP does NOT count against your carry on limits. Allow for an additional 10-20 minutes in security, not likely but it happens. If airport personnel ask about the CPAP, let them know politely that it is a medical device (a CPAP unit). Most of them understand what it is and that it is an exception to the normal rules. We provide a luggage tag for CPAP systems: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/medical-identification-luggage-tag-cpap-equipment
You can use your CPAP on board, just use batteries or make sure you're seated by a power outlet. You can call or reserve one of these seats online with most airlines. Alternatively visit Seat Guru , a website that works with most major airlines.
Be sure to bring spare parts and a back up mask. If you're in a bind, CPAP.com delivers all over the US and to most international destinations.
- How do I prepare for international travel with CPAP?
To prepare for your international travel, be sure to:
- Check the voltage of your destination. You may need a plug adapter for your machine.
- It is recommended to pack spare parts for your equipment.
- Review the general Travel Tips found in this section.
- It may be necessary to bring a travel-sized surge protector with you when you travel. Some countries have issues with power surges that can damage your machine. It's hard to say which country has power surges and which ones don't, so it's helpful to be prepared and bring a surge protector.
- While CPAP.com can ship internationally, we cannot guarantee any delivery date, and you may not want to incur the additional costs of having a replacement sent to your hotel.

Scott Disick Insults Pregnant Kourtney Kardashian And Calls Her Fat — New Report
With his late-night partying and mean comments about her weight, Scott is ruining Kourtney's baby joy!
Kourtney Kardashian should be glowing with excitement about her pregnancy, but her boyfriend Scott Disick is torturing her with his single-guy ways, reports In Touch. During a recent night out, his shockingly bad behavior left her in tears. "Scott was picking on her, making fun of her weight," reveals an insider. "He even told the waiter that she would have 'a side of beef.'"
Kourtney hoped a second child would help him finally mature, but he's quickly becoming her worst nightmare! Scott, 28, ditched her to jet off to Las Vegas on Jan. 27 for the 1Oak opening. "They had a fight, so Scott jumped on a plane and left her behind," says a source.
And his mean weight jokes have left the 32-year-old feeling insecure — he calls her "Portney" as a play on the word "portly."
Now she's realizing he might only love her for her money. "He's even tried to go behind her back to negotiate his own deal for rights to the baby's first photos," reveals an insider. "It's like all their baby is to him is another opportunity to cash in."
Despite his outrageous behavior, she still doesn't leave him. "She can't break up with him while she's pregnant," explains the source. "Scott gets whatever he wants because he knows she won't leave him. Kourtney won't learn."
Do YOU think Kourtney should dump Scott or stick with him?

VANCOUVER - The comment is barely out of a reporter's mouth when skeleton racer Eric Neilson, lounging comfortably in a chair in a downtown hotel lobby, breaks into a hearty laugh, relief etched all over his face.
After opening the World Cup season with a discouraging 16th-place finish in Lake Placid, N.Y., on Nov. 9, the reigning Canadian champion from Kelowna needed something good to happen last Saturday in the season's second race at Park City, Utah, especially with race No. 3 looming at Whistler.
"I'm glad you got that sixth [at Park City]," the reporter told him."I wasn't looking forward to talking to you after a 16th and a 15th."
"Yeah, I really needed to get that one out of the way," said Neilson, grinning broadly through his laugh.
Clearly, he wasn't looking forward to the inquisition given that scenario either.
So, in a sport often decided by 100ths of a second, what happened?
"Lake Placid has never been my track," said the 31-year-old Neilson, who is in his second full season on the World Cup circuit. "I don't know what it is there, but I have a hard time finding rhythm, understanding what's happening. Since my first day there, it's always been a struggle for me."
"Park City is more my kind of track. I like tracks with bigger corners, a little bit more flow, a little bit more rhythm. I was a lot more comfortable, more relaxed in Park City, not as worked up."
Oh, oh. What does that mean for Saturday's race at the Whistler Sliding Centre, a technically challenging track that is the fastest in the world, and on which Nielson was a hugely disappointing 19th last season?
Turns out, Neilson has become a huge fan of the 2010 Olympic track.
"I have come to love Whistler. I won our [World Cup team] selection race. I've finally figured out the flow and the rhythm. Now I understand why people say they love it so much. It's fast and it's fun."
Neilson, a solidly-built six-footer, started with a bang last season, with seventh- and fifth-place finishes in Europe. But he struggled the rest of the way, winding up 16th in the standings.
He believes he can threaten for a podium spot this season. The World Cup men's field is incredibly deep, but those three top seven results since last January have convinced Neilson he can "hang with the big dogs.
"I just have to make sure I can push fast (at the start) because these guys are pushing lights out . . . and they're the best drivers. I know I have the ability, I just have to execute.
Neilson is sliding this season on a new version of the same sled he used last season, one built by the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology.
"I think we've got a really good model now. We've been tweaking it the last four years. Every year we change it a little bit here and there to make it what we as sliders want. We're at the point now where we know exactly what we need."
Sleds are, of course, such a critical part of the skeleton equation. After struggling in the 2010-2011 season, Jon Montgomery, the 2010 Olympic gold medalist from Russell, Man., took all of last season off, in large part to work on designing and building his own sled.
"If you want to create something in your own vision, it's up to you to get it done," he said earlier this month.
After 12th and 14th place finishes to open the season, it's clear there is still some fine-tuning needed. In fact, part of one the welds on the sled broke in training at Park City.
"He was struggling with that . . . but it's coming along and he'll be pretty good when everything is said and done," said Neilson.
Everybody on the circuit is chasing Latvian veteran Martin Dukurs, who is the two-time reigning world champion and who owns the last three World Cup overall titles. He comes to Whistler off wins at both Lake Placid and Park City.
"He's got so much experience," says Neilson. "He's been doing it for 12-15 years. He lives, breathes, eats, sleeps skeleton. He lives at the track [in Latvia], his dad works at the track."
Neilson's not sure he can be that single-minded, especially given the stressful nature of a sport decided by 100ths of a second.
"That's absolutely nothing when you think of it. But .. . the slightest little movement here, little skid there and you're out. To try to block that out, it's tough, but I'm getting better at it."
Neilson says his goals this year are to get qualified for the Sochi 2014 Olympics and "just to have fun.
"When you're stressed out, the performance isn't there. If I'm going to be away from home for half the year, I better be enjoying it, because if not I don't know why I'm there."

Amy Gerstler: Fuck You Poem # 45, 2003, from Ghost Girl (2004)
Well okay then
let us cut
as they say
to the chase.
We are well and truly fucked
in conclusion
we can hope to be
well and truly forgiven.
A fucked up commitment
when I signed on
to excavate the ancient items
& all
little wrapped up mummies--
static, mumbling, blind
even Gran Apacheria--
yes that sort of mood
my poems
I chased them here and there
but ultimately did not want
to catch up to them.
Because then what? Fucked.
Who was that person
that wrote them
or is it whom?
to decide this
who is it that
stares at the collection
gathering dust.
To fuck with a mummy
is said to bring bad luck
the curse and all
breaking it.
Egypt gets very mad.
I see I am the mummy
all dressed up
eye makeup
various signs on outer surfaces
pointing the way
(a jawbone in the wrong place)
to more stones
they have become my eyes
a stone is in my ear
the pillow they gave me
was certainly not large enough
you can guess the rest
it was not quite restful
turning into a stone
so I rowed to the island
more graves! Can you imagine
it looked inviting enough
with all the mummies banished
boats with special oars
I thought I saw some of my poems
in these little boats
or were they anchors?
It was smooth sailing to the Isle of the Dead. I did not really care for their music but this was not the main thing about it. Mostly, it was very quiet, the water like glass, the cedars had grown quite large. They said there was no room for my bones, not even a small corner. It was so small. I saw some monks' cells carved into the cliff. Well, if there grew corn here and finagled irrigation ditches then there were possibilities not apparent at first glance. I grew hopeful. That happens a lot at the end. Exhausting anticipation, regrets about grammar, and all the rest.
September 7th Cake
Let us cut to the cake
let it chase us
all night long
daring the words
Our last forlorn hope.
The September 7th cake, that is the mere contemplation of it, made it seem worth living until September 8th. And then 9th and so on.
At the critical point, our sides DID buckle a bit... yet we did not worry.
Had we only been fortified with a suitable range of pan-racks, things might well have turned out differently.
"If you have a turntable for decorating cakes or a lazy Susan, place the cake plate on it."
A lazy Susan, one thing we do not have to worry about!
I see they do not list
any Cream of Tartar
in this concoction
but it certainly rises
to the important occasion
of September 7th
requiring just
a small amount of instant
plus the chips.
Thanks for this. Reminds me of Koch's "Sleeping with Women"... technically, of course. Good to hear of Amy Gerstler again. Where has she been all this while: sleeping under Santa Monica pier? Strong poem!

I used a Kill-a-Watt meter on my two flatscreens when I calculated my solar.24" used 20 watts48" used 60 watts
The amount of power the TV draws will change depending on the volume of the TV and the brightness of the screen at the time you measure it.
When I replaced my TV's I noticed that the cheapo Best Buy 32" LED that I bought uses a power brick cord, just like a laptop. I checked the power output of the brick and noticed that it was 12v. I inquired at Best Buy about eliminating the brick and just wiring the TV straight to the coach's 12v system. Of course, nobody at the store level could confirm or deny the advisability of such a thing.Anyone got a clue as to if this would work? Sure be nice not to have to sweat an inverter for just the TV.

Falling Backwards Into Research
I don't know this person, and she is definitely not a part of my family history. But, as a dedicated and curious researcher who loves biography, I'm always on the lookout for new writing subjects, whether related to me, or not.
I came across this photograph while browsing the U.S. School Yearbooks collection at Ancestry.com. Originally, I had looked at a 1938 yearbook from Brainerd, Minnesota (just because), and was surprised to see the kids looking at lot older than their age, especially the girls with their intensely dark red lipstick. They seemed tired and worn, somehow. They didn't smile, and they just didn't look happy. I thought I'd look to see how high school seniors closer to home compared.
Turning to the Seattle yearbooks, I selected one from a school that my own daughter had attended briefly, and began viewing. Among the senior pages from decades ago, I came across this face. I continued on, but found myself intrigued and went back to look at her face a few more times. Why? Perhaps her smile was so different from all the rest: relaxed, composed, sweetly mature, intelligent, and confidently happy, or perhaps it was the graceful turn of her neck, or that perky hairdo so typical of the 1930s-1940s era. Perhaps it was something I discovered behind her eyes and felt intuitively.
I read the caption next to the photograph: "[Name] - Cabinet; Honor Society; Assistant Copy Editor, Messenger; Art Editor, Arrow; President, Stamp Club; Usherette, Quill and Scroll." With all of those activities on her agenda, I surmised that she must have also been a popular senior with a dedication to study, social activities, and perpetual learning. A rather artsy girl, in fact.
I tried to hunt down more information about her through the census, but lacked enough information to be certain who she was, or who her parents were. On a lark, I "Googled" her name along with the word "art," and was surprised when I discovered an obituary that told me her married name, occupation, and the fact that she had graduated with degrees in art from the University of Washington, and was well known as a Pacific Northwest painter. The UW was the logical place for a Seattle student to get higher education, so that in itself was not surprising. But, it was interesting that we both had walked along some of the same halls of learning: the same campus, and most likely, the same building. Then, when I searched the University Libraries catalog for any mention of her name, I found that before her death, she had donated her personal papers and correspondence to the archives--just one floor below the section of the library where I work!
That's what I mean about falling backwards into research: progressing from an interesting, but anonymous photograph found during directionless searching, to the discovery that the person's lifetime achievements are represented in files just yards away and waiting for perusal... now, what are the chances of THAT? I could have picked any one of dozens of photographs in that yearbook or any other, but it was hers that captured my interest.
Providence? Weird coincidence? Whatever the reason, it is exactly this type of hook that writers and researchers crave, whether it leads to a viable project, or not.
What's that?
Are you wanting me to reveal the identity of "The Face"?
That would spoil all the fun, now wouldn't it?
Try it for yourself... find an interesting face and bring someone's story to life, if only during a few moments of discovery. You might be surprised by what you find.

My detective friend! Yes, I love this as well. A mysterious old photograph.
Personally, I believe she picked you. She has been sitting there waiting for you to find her and tell others about her.
Is that the sound of another published article I hear? I hope so!

Interesting subjects always tend to pop up when I am heavily into another, unrelated project.
Maven, that's an interesting thought about her picking me, and there may be no other explanation. Oh no, that's means I'm already committed!

I was delighted to find your story about your discovery of the photograph of the smiling young girl and your research. Once again, you're my inspiration.
