Europa League: Rubin Kazan defeat Inter, take top spot
Moscow, Nov 23 – Rubin Kazan defeated Inter Milan 3?0 at home to secure the top spot in Europa League Group H and an easier draw in the last 32.
Gokdeniz Karadeniz put Rubin ahead Thursday after just two minutes before Jose Salomon Rondon came off the bench to add two late goals and inflict a heavy defeat on an otherwise competent Inter side.
Both teams were already assured of a place in the knockout stages before the game, but Rubin now take first place, with Inter second.
Karadeniz's opener came in freakish circumstances when Inter defender Juan deflected an Alan Kasaev cross against his own post, and Karadeniz pounced to knock the loose ball into the net.
Panama striker Rondon scored twice in six minutes in the dying stages of the match to prevent an Inter comeback.
Rondon first struck on 86 minutes off a Bibras Natkho assist before Karadeniz played the Panamanian into an excellent position with a through ball before he sliced past Inter goalkeeper Vid Belec.
There was an early worry for Rubin coach Kurban Berdyev when midfielder Roman Eremenko went off injured on seven minutes with what appeared to be an ankle problem, and was replaced by Carlos Eduardo.
Inter put the hosts under an assault but failed to defeat goalkeeper Sergei Ryzhikov, who saved five Italian attempts, while substitute Rodrigo Palacio hit the woodwork late on in search of an equaliser.
Neftci Baku drew 1?1 with Partizan Belgrade in Thursday's other game in Group H.

Righthaven CEO Explains Losses: 'We've Blazed Some Trails; There Are Differences Of Opinion'
from the well-that's-one-way-of-looking-at-it dept
First, Gibson claims, as Righthaven has been arguing in court lately, that if a court rules (as they have been) that Righthaven didn't have the copyrights in question when it sued, then it's "just" a "jurisdiction issue" and, therefore, the court cannot then rule on the further merits of the case and should not award attorneys' fees. That's a rather interesting way to avoid acknowledging what appears to be a form of fraud. It seems pretty damn clear from multiple rulings that the courts do not consider this merely a "jurisdiction" issue, but rather an attempt to deceive the court system and use it to force people and organizations to pay up. Either way, Righthaven seems to be gearing up for an appeals court challenge on this issue.
Amusingly, because of this "it's just a jurisdiction issue" stance, Gibson pretends that he can completely ignore the fact that the judge ruled against Righthaven on the fair use issue here, calling that part of the ruling "academic."
Later, as Mullin further challenges Gibson, he tries to suggest that people don't like them because they've "blazed some trails":
There's no question, we've blazed some trails here. We initially drafted the assignment documentation based on the Silvers case. We understand there are some differences of opinion as to whether that provides us with standing, and we've been responsive to the courts.Actually, Righthaven's "responsiveness" to the courts is demonstrated in a history of filing responses past due and complaining about being too busy to actually get things in on time. The company has been a complete joke, and it seems that the judges saw that a long time ago.
Where Gibson gets really funny, however, is in the following exchange. The first part is Mullin's question, followed by Gibson's answer:
You've been calling some defendants copyright thieves, and suggesting they are members of an "infringement community." But in this case, Wayne Hoehn's lawyers filed a motion saying that Righthaven is a "bully" that attacked his free speech rights, and saying it should be ordered to pay his $34,000 in legal costs—and the court agreed.First of all, I love the fact that he completely ignores the point of Mullin's question that his firm regularly, falsely, calls defendants "thieves," and then complains that anyone calling Righthaven a bully is engaged in "unprofessional name calling." Pot, kettle.
I don't think Judge Pro was engaged in that kind of unprofessional name calling. Look, the blogosphere and the infringement community obviously is very, very vocal. That doesn't make them right. They're a lot more heavily populated than the people who create content. We have continuously attempted to stay above name calling, to take the issues to the courts on an unemotional basis. We believe that ultimately our case will be successful.
Has it been challenging? Has it been difficult? There's no question. As to the perception that we're a bully… I guess you could engage in this kind of name-calling. The real question is, is it right for people to take other people's content? People don't know the bases on which we've settled a good number of our cases. They don't know how lenient we've been. So, they run with name-calling.
This is a political discussion that could potentially merit Congressional treatment, in terms of making the copyright laws where we want them to be. But in terms of where the laws are [now], Righthaven is addressing a serious copyright issue that is plaguing the creative community.
Then there's the lovely line about "the blogosphere and the infringement community." And how it's "a lot more heavily populated than the people who create content." Oh that makes me laugh. Let's see, the most vocal critics of Righthaven have been almost entirely content creators. The hundreds of people sued by Righthaven under questionable claims over copyrights the company didn't own? Almost all content creators. Righthaven? Has never created a single piece of content.
And then I love that bit about how "lenient" they've been. When the mob comes knocking and offers to let you keep your kneecaps in exchange for "just $5,000" is that lenient? Some of us don't think so.
Finally, while I always worry about Congress passing more ridiculously bad copyright legislation, I've seen no indication whatsoever that Congress has any interest whatsoever in making copyright laws the way Righthaven wants them to be. But, if Righthaven is planning to go on a lobbying blitz, well, that will be fun to watch.

GREENVILLE � East Carolina's season-opener had all the makings of an old-time Country Western flick.
GREENVILLE � East Carolina's season-opener had all the makings of an old-time Country Western flick.
It was simply an old-fashioned shootout.
Shane Carden played the likes of John Wayne. Taylor Heinicke filled the role of Clint Eastwood.
Carden, East Carolina's junior quarterback, was a gunslinger in the Pirates' 52-38 win over Old Dominion in the season-opener on Saturday in front of 44,597 patrons at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
Carden completed 46-of-54 of his passes for a school-record 447 yards and five touchdowns. Counterpart Heinicke, Old Dominion's junior quarterback, rivaled Carden with 338 passing yards and three touchdowns, along with a rushing score.
�It's not me versus (Taylor). It's our team playing his team,� Carden said. �It's not like Troy where it is one guy against one guy.
�We (offense) can only control what we do on the field. I saw (Taylor) making plays, and he is a great quarterback, but we have to play the best offense we can play.�
ECU's Justin Hardy, a junior on the Frank Biletnikoff Award Watch List, is off to a booming start. He hauled in a career-high16 catches for 191 yards � his ninth-career 100-yard game.
Hardy led the Pirates with 88 receptions last season for 1,105 yards and 11 touchdowns.
�I know what I can do and the coaches know what I can do, so I just go out there and play ball,� Hardy said. �Having 52 points, our offense was clicking.�
Freshman Davon Grayson, playing his first game with the Pirates, caught three touchdowns.
Carden completed eight passes to Craven County natives Hardy and Danny Webster on the Pirates' opening drive, capping it off with a four-yard touchdown pass to Webster just five minutes into the game.
ODU stormed back with 10-unanswered points before Grayson caught his first college touchdown pass to give ECU a 14-10 advantage.
On the Monarchs' ensuing offensive possession, Heinicke placed a perfectly tossed ball into the hands of Jakwail Bailey for a 43-yard scoring strike.
Grayson's six-yard touchdown grab put the Pirates back on top, 21-17, at the half.
Carden was near flawless in the first half, hitting his receivers for 266 yards, while Hardy had 147 receiving yards, and Heinicke had nearly 200 passing yards.
The Pirates returned a fumble for a score early in the third quarter and Jimmy Booth pounced on an fumble in the end zone later. Heinicke scrambled in the end zone and running back Colby Goodwyn had a touchdown run, cutting ODU's deficit to 35-31.
Carden opened the final stanza with a four-yard touchdown pass to freshman Isaiah Jones, and followed with a one-yard lob to Grayson.
�I'm proud of our team and I'm proud of how we hung in there,� said ECU coach Ruffin McNeill. �The first game is always tough, but to come out with a victory, I was very proud of them.�
ECU continues its home stand on Thursday against new Conference USA foe Florida Atlantic.

Jack's Merry Menagerie
Name: Jack (one month)
Location: Baltimore, MD
When designing this nursery for our first baby, my husband and I agreed that we wanted it to be a happy space that would be stimulating for our son, grow with him, and be a room in which we could spend hours playing with him.
Inspired by Sycamore Street Press letter press prints (there are a total of seven in the nursery), we chose bright primary colors, like blue and green, anchored by more substantial grey pieces like our Oeuf crib and CB2 Hopscotch rug and knitted pouf.
We love animals and so we included them everywhere, from the felt busts to the dachshund floor lamp, Dwell fabric book slings, and an adorable monogrammed ceramic pig speaker from West Elm. The result is a colorful, merry menagerie that has been my SECOND labor of love over the past nine months.
Source List:
• Sparrow Crib from Oeuf
• Cloud Mobile from Gosh and Golly on Etsy
• Crib sheet and skirt from DwellStudio
• Letterpress Subliminal Baby Prints from Sycamore Street Press
• CB2 Wire Cube Wall Shelf
• Hopscotch Rug from CB2
• Felt Menagerie Animal Heads
• Serena & Lilly Sausalito Moses Basket
• CB2 Knitted pouf
• CB2 monkey pillow
• Eames-style rocker from Trohv in Baltimore
• Offi Dachschund Floor Lamp
• West Elm monogrammed ceramic pig speaker
• Focal wall color - Sherwin-Williams Cooled Blue
Thanks, Kristy! Well done!

The Washington Post reports that the odds are increasing -- perhaps to the point of near certainty -- that the so-called "sequester" will take effect March 1. This would be a pity. For non-budget wonks, the sequester mandates about $1 trillion in government spending cuts over nine years, divided between defense and non-defense programs. These would be the wrong cuts, done in the wrong way. There's a better approach.
First, some background. The sequester was never intended to take effect. It was designed as a sledgehammer to force congressional leaders to negotiate deficit reductions. The sequester would occur only if there were no agreement. The required cuts were thought to be so mindless -- affecting good programs and bad while providing little flexibility to make choices -- that the congressional leaders would have to agree.
Well, they didn't. The sequester was originally scheduled to start Jan. 1. As a part of the "fiscal cliff" negotiations, Congress delayed that until March 1. But now without an agreement, the sequester looms again.
The consequences would be widespread. The Pentagon would have to cut spending 8.8 percent, estimates Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a think tank specializing in defense issues. Among civilian workers, there would almost certainly be furloughs. Procurement contracts would have to be rewritten to reduce purchases; interestingly, the unit costs of weapons and other supplies would probably rise, as fixed costs were spread over shorter production runs. Training would be cut, leaving the services less prepared for combat.
Dozens of non-defense programs would suffer cuts averaging about 5 percent, according to Richard Kogan of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal think tank. These would include: the FBI, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Park Service, the Department of Homeland Security -- and many more. Here, too, there would probably be furloughs; some projects would be delayed or canceled; grants to states and localities would be trimmed.
With hindsight, the sequester's failure to compel consensus seems understandable. For Republicans, the sequester guarantees spending reductions -- even if many abhor the defense cuts -- and avoids tax increases. Democrats may dislike the domestic cuts, but they also know that the biggest social programs are off the table -- Social Security, Medicaid and most of Medicare (Medicare is subject to a 2 percent cut, but all of that would come from lower payment rates to doctors, hospitals and other providers).
As important, the impact on the public would be modest. Of course, there would be an orgy of media stories on the disruptions. Some national parks might close temporarily; food inspections might decline; Head Start classes might shut; border patrols might drop. But most Americans wouldn't be affected directly and wouldn't, therefore, pressure their elected officials to reach agreement.
To be effective, a sequester has to hit millions of Americans so hard that, if it took effect, mobs of outraged voters would storm Capitol Hill.
Here's my modest proposal to do that. Unless congressional negotiators agreed on at least $1 trillion in deficit cuts over a decade -- personally, I'd go higher -- then the desired amount would be raised in two ways: half from across-the-board income tax increases and half from across-the-board Social Security cuts. People would see their take-home pay and retiree benefits reduced. There would be no mystery.
I don't doubt that this sequester would force an agreement. It would probably include some cuts in Social Security and some tax increases along with cuts in defense and domestic programs. It would be more balanced than the present sequester. Leaders would have to judge the worth of specific programs against the burdens of specific tax increases. They could argue over the timing of tax and spending changes. All this would be healthy.
It won't happen. Truth in journalism: I have proposed this before. There were no takers. It would astonish me if there were any now. But the point is that there is a path to agreement. The fact that our so-called leaders don't take it reflects their calculation that disagreeing is better politics.

Best Kids Parties: Pink Ombre
Name: Laelia, 2
Location: Sherman Oaks, CA
The theme for my daughter's birthday was pink ombre, black and white stripes, and shapes. We held the party in our 1000 square foot apartment. I wanted to share this with your readers to show that it is possible to have a birthday in a small space!
In our apartment, we have a wall of four BILLY bookcases with doors on the bottom half. I covered the exposed part of my bookcases with foam core to create a pretty neutral backdrop for my streamers and shape garlands.
For dessert, I made a pink ombre cake. The cake topper was made by cutting shapes out and painting them in the same fashion as the garlands, and then gluing them to a bamboo skewer covered in gold glitter. I topped them off with a little streamer fringe!
Then we moved my desk and the armless chairs in front of the bookcases, which opened the room up and created the perfect space for our little party.
Thanks, Jesyka! Readers, you can read more about the party over at Jesyka's blog.

Of the Office for Civil Rights
Fiscal Year 2006
B. Proactive Enforcement
Compliance Reviews
In FY 2006, OCR resolved 13 compliance reviews, initiated in prior fiscal years, focused on eliminating barriers for postsecondary students with physical disabilities, including making residence halls, classrooms, academic buildings, and parking facilities accessible.
I am pleased that the University and the Office for Civil Rights were able to work together to address the needs of students with disabilities.
Letter from a university president
- OCR conducted compliance reviews at two major universities that focused on the accessibility of their residence halls. OCR found compliance problems that prevented students with disabilities from accessing the residence halls and participating in the programs offered in them. The universities entered into resolution agreements with OCR to remedy the identified problems.
- Based in part on enrollment data indicating African-American students were disproportionately represented in special education, OCR conducted a compliance review of a school district to determine whether African-American students were being subjected to discrimination on the basis of either race or disability, with respect to referral, evaluation and placement in special education. OCR's investigation found no indication of different treatment on the basis of race. OCR, however, did find that 15 students had been placed in special education without meeting established criteria for special education eligibility. The district agreed to convene education planning meetings for each of the 15 students, conduct necessary re-evaluations, make eligibility decisions consistent with established standards and procedures and in accordance with applicable law, and provide to any of the 15 students removed from special education as a result of the re-evaluation appropriate supplemental services to facilitate their successful transition into the general education program.
- OCR closely monitored actions taken by a school district to comply with an agreement to resolve compliance concerns arising from an OCR compliance review. Specifically, the district took actions to ensure that students were appropriately referred, evaluated and placed in special education programs. During the 2005–--06 school year, the district re-evaluated 61 Educable Mentally Disabled (EMD) students. Twenty-three of those students continued in the EMD classification, 16 were reclassified in a different disability category, and 22 were determined not to have a disability and, thus, not to need special education services. The district also is providing transition services to the 22 students now in the general education program. When OCR initiated its review in 2004, there were 242 EMD students compared to 150 in the current 2006–07 academic year. There were 100 African-American students identified as EMD in the 2006–07 academic year, compared to 176 when OCR initiated its compliance review in the 2004–05 academic year.
Technical Assistance
As part of OCR's proactive enforcement of Section 504 and Title II of the ADA, OCR provided numerous technical assistance presentations on disability issues. Disability is by far the most requested subject matter for OCR technical assistance.
OCR presented technical assistance presentations on the issues of students with disabilities transitioning from high school to college nearly 40 times in FY 2006. There are differences between the rights and responsibilities of students with disabilities in the high school setting and those of students in the postsecondary education setting. Therefore, OCR has taken proactive steps to provide students with information to make this transition effectively. In FY 2006, OCR presented technical assistance on this transition from high school to college at high schools, college fairs, postsecondary institutions and conferences. For example, OCR participated in five student leadership conferences sponsored by a state department of education, at which OCR informed students about the importance of recognizing the differences between their rights in high school and their rights in college. Approximately 300 students, teachers, administrators and parents attended each conference. OCR also presented transition information at a disability symposium at which there were approximately 230 administrators, faculty and students in attendance from over 60 colleges and universities.
In FY 2006, OCR provided technical assistance on over 30 occasions regarding the requirements under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in the public elementary and secondary school context. OCR provided this presentation to over 350 educators in one state. The participants stated that they would be able to use the information shared by OCR throughout the state and expressed interest in future OCR presentations. OCR also presented this technical assistance in smaller settings, for example, presentations to several classes of undergraduate students.
In addition to the presentations discussed above, OCR provided disability-related technical assistance in FY 2006 on issues such as assistive technology, academic adjustments and auxiliary aids, accessibility and disability harassment. OCR provided over 110 presentations that focused entirely or partially on disability issues in FY 2006.

As you can imagine, there hasn't been any kind of documentation on this in decades, so it was all learned through painful trial and error, and scouring old manuals for information. Fun!

Austin Peay opens spring practice under Cannon
Clarksville, TN – Kirby Cannon will kick off Austin Peay spring football practice Tuesday afternoon, one week after being named the team's new head coach.
The former Central Michigan defensive backs coach has taken over a team that is coming off a 2-9 record and a last-place finish in the Ohio Valley Conference alongside Tennessee Tech.
"Initially, I want this team to practice with the pace and the intensity that I know leads to wins," Cannon said. "We want to teach them how to practice. We are not bogging them down with a lot of thinking - real base packages, base calls, just try to make them move and make them practice like champions.
"One of the goals we talked about in our team meeting was practicing like a champion before you can be a champion."
On offense, the Governors return four starting linemen along with running backs Terrence Oliver and Reco Williams. Redshirt sophomore Jacob Sexton is expected to take over as the starting quarterback.
Defensively, the Governors return much of the lineup intact.

A little over a year since some physical renovations were wrapped up in council chambers at Hannibal City Hall, another round of improvements are in the works. On Tuesday night the City Council approved some audio/visual upgrades.
A little over a year since some physical renovations were wrapped up in council chambers at Hannibal City Hall, another round of improvements are in the works. On Tuesday night the City Council approved some audio/visual upgrades.
Those council chambers changes will include:
• Suspending two projectors from the ceiling.
• Installation of motorized 65-inch by 104-inch projector screens on the front and rear walls in the meeting room.
• Addition of a digital signal processor for mixing and routing of comments by Council members to a digital recorder.
• Purchase of an audio amplifier that will be connected to six speakers which will be suspended from the ceiling.
"This will be a much needed upgrade," said City Clerk Angel Vance.
Three quotes were submitted, according to Vance. The proposal best meeting the city's needs was submitted by Communitronics of St. Louis.
Communitronics' bid of $36,166 is $6,166 more than the city has budgeted. Vance reports that $30,000 of the funds will come from the City Hall Capital Outlay Fund. The remainder will be taken from the Contingency Fund.
Last year, just under $18,000 was spent to install new carpeting, replace the wood on the Council dais, resurface the conference table, do some painting and reupholster audience seats in council chambers. Also added were mural images of Mark Twain, the Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse, and Tom and Huck statue.
In other business:
• Approval was given a change order in the amount of $196,654 to Bleigh Construction for additional construction charges on the downtown sidewalk project.
• First reading was given a bill implementing a proficiency exam for electrical and plumbing service providers.
• The rezoning of a lot in the McClelland Subdivision from B-multiple family to D-highway business was given first reading.
• A request from Four Neighbors, LLC, to vacate an access alley off of Center Street was given first reading by the Council. Both sides of the alley are owned by the LLC.
• First reading was given a request from Bobby Boland to vacate two 16-foot wide alleys that are being used by the Boland site in Oakwood. The dealership owns the property on both sides of the alleys.
• The Council accepted the $6,000 bid of Brad Craven for a farm lease agreement at Hannibal Regional Airport.
• Second and final reading was given a proposal that will see the city abandon Colfax Avenue from 11th Street to a point just west of Maple Street, portions of 10th and Maple streets, and an alley between Printex and where the Hannibal Machine building once stood.
• Resolutions were approved granting permanent utility easements to the Hannibal Board of Public Works and Southwestern Bell along portions of Colfax, 10th and Maple streets that are being abandoned.
• The mayor was authorized to a 30-day contact extension to Sutton Enterprises to complete commercial flood buyout demolitions.
• The Council approved a special warranty deed accepting conveyance of 1058 Collier St. to the city for $10 in conjunction with certain street abandonments in that area.
• Second and final reading was given a bill accepting the Breckenridge Estates Subdivision.
• The Council OK'd the BPW accepting a proposal from Gilmore Bell to serve as bond counsel for the proposed issuance of bonds for the purpose of raising funds to make improvements to the city's water and sewer systems.
• The Council gave a "thumbs up" to the Parks & Recreation Department's future plans for the North Main parking lot.

Confirmation That Record Labels Wanted ISPs To Spy On Users And Report Infringement To RIAA
from the no-surprise dept
"As ISPs can monitor the amount of power used by specific users and the sites connected to, it is possible for ISPs to pass on any details to owners of particular rights, who could then take legal action."This, of course, is the dream state for the industry, though they haven't been able to get anyone to really go that far yet. Still, it is interesting to see them directly bringing it up with lawmakers.

The 26-year-old said Wednesday he was told by the coaches a few months ago to prepare accordingly.
The Minnesota Vikings were widely expected to make a middle linebacker one of their high draft picks to address perhaps the largest void on an otherwise-promising roster.
Their expected starter at this critical position, though, was on the team all along. Erin Henderson, who played the weak side spot last season, has been given the first opportunity to take over. The 26-year-old said Wednesday he was told by the coaches a few months ago to prepare accordingly. So he's put on about 10 pounds to his 6-foot-3 frame to near 250.
"I look forward to the challenge. It's something new for me to learn, something new for me to put my brain to and help me refocus a little bit with the kind of work and time I have to put in in order for us to be successful," Henderson said during a break from strength and conditioning drills in the field house at Winter Park.
When Jasper Brinkley signed with Arizona, the Vikings had no obvious replacement. There were veterans available in free agency, including Brian Urlacher after Chicago decided not to re-sign him. Then there were plenty of rookie options, most notably Manti Te'o of Notre Dame who fell down the draft board into the second round.
Even after choosing a defensive tackle and a cornerback with the 23rd and 25th overall selections, the Vikings had another chance in the first round when they packaged four mid-to-late-round picks to move up to No. 29. But that was for wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, not Te'o. They took Penn State's Michael Mauti in the seventh round, but he's coming off multiple reconstructive knee surgeries.
So despite a relatively productive foray in free agency and the draft, the Vikings still had this big hole to fill. But Henderson, whose older brother, E.J., was Minnesota's primary middle linebacker for most of his career here from 2003 through 2011, said he's been looking forward to the move since last season ended. Fourth-round draft pick Gerald Hodges, also from Penn State, has the inside track to start at the weak side spot.
"You never really know how things go and what things they might talk about as we move forward and what they might decide that they want to do," Henderson said. "Right now, that's where my mind is. That's what I'm studying, and that's what I'm trying to prepare myself for."
He's agile enough to be effective at the position. One of his problems over the last two seasons as a starter at the weak side spot was over-pursuing the ball and winding up in a bad place. That tendency likely won't be as pronounced or detrimental in the middle. Henderson also has played plenty in the nickel packages, so he has experience in pass coverage.
Now he has to prove he can be a valuable three-down player.
"I think I have the respect and trust of my teammates and my coaches. Which I think is very important, especially when you're put into a leadership role and they're asking you to do certain things," Henderson said. "I think them moving me to that position and giving me a chance to play it shows that they trust me upstairs. I love the locker room that we have and the guys who look up to me and respect me for what I've done and what I want to be able to do in the future."
Chad Greenway, the team's best linebacker, at the strong side spot, said he's excited about the prospect of having Henderson in the middle.
"The instincts are there. His ability is there. I think he's got to do it full time. ... So if that's how it shakes out, I think it'll be really great for him," Greenway said. "He's got the range. He's got the length."
The other major question on defense left to answer for the Vikings is how they'll replace the leadership, toughness and tackling ability of veteran cornerback Antoine Winfield, who signed with Seattle.
"Oh, that was a hard one. I'll tell you that much. A fan favorite, a player favorite, a team favorite," Greenway said.
Added safety Harrison Smith: "We all had a ton of respect for him and looked to him for advice. Now, it's really an opportunity for the rest of us to kind of fill that void."
NOTES: QB Christian Ponder said the bruised triceps on his throwing arm that kept him out of the playoff game at Green Bay has healed fully. But he had a scare about two weeks after the season when the contusion came back, his arm swelled up and the muscle hardened. Ponder said he thought it was a blood clot and went to the emergency room to be safe. "About two weeks after that, all the effects went away. Since then, I've been working out probably two months and it's been fine," Ponder said. ... WR Greg Childs, who missed his rookie season with a torn patellar tendon in both knees, has been working out and doing drills at full speed. "All the necessary things I needed to be doing, I'm doing them now," Childs said, declining to put a date on his return to the field with the team.

Plans under way for annual spring tire collections
ST. MARYS – Spring is almost here, which means area residents will once again begin the tedious task of spring cleaning. For those looking to dispose of old passenger vehicle tires, the Elk County Solid Waste Authority recently set the dates for their annual tire collections. "We've already had calls about when we're going to do tire collections. Everybody wants to know," said Bekki Titchner, Elk County recycling/solid waste coordinator. Titchner recently informed solid waste authority members that in addition to the three tire collection sites they sponsor, Ridgway Township will also be holding its own tire collection this year. "I'm going to register their collection under ours, but they will be paying for their own roll-off container and taking care of their own collection," Titchner said. That collection will be limited to township residents, Titchner added. Titchner also questioned authority members on whether they thought the authority should only pay for the rental of two 30-yard roll-off containers for each of their three collection sites and stipulate that the host municipality would then be responsible for the cost if any additional containers were needed. Tire collection sites are typically held in the City of St. Marys, Ridgway Borough, and Jones Township, and Titchner explained that while there typically is not a problem in St. Marys or Jones Township, Ridgway Borough has gone over two containers almost every year. She estimated that about a hundred tires will fit in each roll-off container if they are stacked well. Both Fox Township and Jay Township also hold their own tire collections and transport the tires to the landfill. "We've gone over (in Ridgway Borough) almost every year. They've used like four or five," Titchner said.She added that with Ridgway Township holding their own collection this year as well, it might, in turn, reduce the number of tires received in Ridgway Borough. Elk County Solid Waste Authority Chairman Russ Braun expressed opposition to Titchner's proposal to charge municipalities that go over two containers. "My concern is that I can see a municipality saying, 'No, we don't want it then because if it goes over we're going to have to pay for it, so we don't want it. Don't do it at all.' So then what do they do with their tires?" Braun said. Pick up a copy of the Friday, March 2, 2012 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Ketones are substances that are made when the body breaks down fat for energy. Normally, your body gets the energy it needs from glucose (sugar). If your body cannot use glucose for energy—for example, if your body doesn't make or use insulin—ketones are formed. You might also have ketones if you are not eating enough carbohydrates and your body uses fat for energy instead. Your body wants to get rid of ketones through urine.
Ketones in urine is most common in people who have type 1 diabetes. It is an early sign that there is not enough insulin, and blood sugar may be dangerously high. This can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a very serious medical problem.
You can test your urine for ketones at home using specially prepared
tablets or plastic strips.

1. Dirty Little Secret
Rating 2.5/5 Word Count 601 Review this Chapter
Jasper's POV
Hate is a powerful emotion. It drives people to do things that they normally wouldn't dare do. Believe me, I would know. And not just because I could tell what people around me feel- I hate. I hate Bella Swan with every fibre of my being. I would kill her if I could get her away from her precious little Edward.
That little whore stole him from me, and she knew it. She reveled in my pain it caused me when she kissed him. When she whispered little things in his ear. When they were in his room and I could feel passionate emotions so strong I wasn't sure if I wasn't the one in there with Edward. She loved to see me in pain, and I hated her for that.
Two weeks after her transformation, Bella was in desperate need of blood. If she went any longer, she'd probably try to take a bite out of one of us. It was Esme's turn to take her out hunting. As always, we hunted in pairs. Today, Alice went with Esme to help her with Bella if she went too crazy. Carlisle was at the hospital, so that left only Rosalie and Emmett, and Edward and myself.
We all ran off in different directions with our "hunting partner" and went to find food. Edward was following me (since he's not THAT great a tracker) and soon we came across a family of otters playing in the river that wound past our house. We made quick work of them, and when we were done we rinsed our hands off in the river.
"Dammit, I got blood all over the shirt Bella gave me for my Birthday..."
He threw his shirt off and dove into the river to rinse the rest of the blood off. If I could blush, my face would be as red as the blood stain on Edward's shirt. He noticed me looking at him and I could feel his curiosity.
Before he could ask, I simply muttered "Nothing...".
I looked down to avoid his gaze and noticed that my shirt was also soaked through with the otter's blood. I tried to convince myself that I was taking my shirt off and washing it in the river because Alice would have a cow if she saw what happened to my shirt. But no matter how much I wanted to deny it, I couldn't keep myself from realizing that I just wanted to be in the river with Edward.
Stripping my shirt off, I also dove into the river to wash the rest of the blood off of me and to clean my bloody shirt. Turning my back to Edward, I began to scrub my shirt with a rock from the bottom of the river. My shirt was a dark colour, so the blood stain might not be that obvious if I get enough out.....
I stopped my thoughts dead in their tracks when I felt an emotion come from Edward that I have only ever felt from him when he was with Bella- Lust. I turned around and saw Edward looking right at me. Yeah, he was DEFINITELY the best looking out of all of us.
"W-What?" I stammered.
"I know that you like me." he responded "And... I must admit that I find you quite attractive, myself."
I moved closer to him then, and lightly brushed my lips against his. I pulled away to see his reaction, and what happened then, I will never forget (and NO, we did not have sex).

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's consumers are leading an uneven recovery in the world's second biggest economy that has retailers expecting stronger sales in six months, early results of a national survey showed on Wednesday.
The China Beige Book survey of more than 2,000 executives revealed that the retail sector had the strongest revenue growth and business expectations in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The survey broadly detected a mild economic recovery with the hard-hit sectors of real estate, mining and manufacturing - to a lesser extent - joining retail at the head of the upswing.
"The revenue growth pickup was notable in luxuries and durable goods - furniture, appliances, and autos," said the survey, conducted between October 26 and December 2 by New York-based CBB International and based on the U.S. Federal Reserve's economic report of the same name.
"Retailers' mood remains quite hopeful, with 72 percent forecasting higher sales in six months, up 4 points on last quarter. A remarkably low 6 percent foresee declines," it said, adding that 61 percent of retailers reported higher sales in the Q4 survey than in Q3.
The biggest bounces were seen in coastal Guangdong province, Beijing, the northeast and central regions of China - locations which Q3's survey found had the biggest spending falls.
The retail rebound was not evenly distributed, however, with Shanghai and the southwest region recording falls in spending.
The survey's findings are reflected in the most recent raft of economic indicators from China, revealing a mild rebound taking hold in Q4, and in policymaker comments.
China's retail sales grew 14.9 percent year-on-year in November, ahead of the 14.6 percent forecast in a Reuters poll.
China is on course to end 2012 with the slowest full year of growth since 1999 and while the 7.7 percent rate forecast in a benchmark Reuters poll is way above the world's other major economies, it is far below the roughly 10 percent annual growth seen for most of the last 30 years.
Weakness in the external environment remains a key drag on an economy in which exports generated 31 percent of gross domestic product in 2011, according to World Bank data, and where an estimated 200 million jobs are supported by foreign investment, or in factories producing for overseas markets.
The upside to the patchiness of the recovery is that it is being driven by services, which are calibrated more towards domestic demand. Geographic rebalancing away from prosperous coastal areas was also evident in the survey, with firms in the western region recording the highest revenue growth in Q4.
The survey had mixed findings for labor markets, with a 3 point rise to 34 percent in the proportion of firms citing an increased availability of unskilled labor, while 20 percent said shortages had increased.
Some 34 percent of firms increased their workforces in Q4 from Q3. Wage rises were reported by 52 percent of respondents.
Bankers questioned in the survey said credit conditions eased in Q4, but fewer firms borrowed. Meanwhile, banks and firms said loan rejections rose slightly, to 16 percent, and exposure to companies with excess production capacity was cut.
"Few corporate loans went to new customers: three-fifths of bankers say under 20 percent did — an astonishingly small number," the survey said.
"Most were debt rollovers or loan increases for existing clients. This is not yet a period of strong expansion."
The China Beige Book survey of face-to-face and telephone interviews compares conditions with the previous quarter and asks respondents to anticipate conditions three and six months ahead.
The survey sample includes executives from manufacturing, retail, service, transport, real estate and construction, farming, and mining. Respondents ran businesses of every size from the micro-level - employing up to 19 staff - to large firms with more than 500 employees. It also canvassed opinions from 160 bank loan officers and branch managers.
A detailed report of the survey's full findings will be published in early January.

From John Main OSB, "A Call to the Fullness of Life," MOMENT OF CHRIST (New York: Continuum, 1998), pp. 110-111.
One thing we learn in meditation is the priority of being over action. Indeed, no action has any meaning, or at least any lasting depth of meaning, unless it springs from being, from the depths of your own being. This is why meditation is a way that leads us away from shallowness to depth, to profundity.
Learning to be is learning to begin to live out of the fullness of life. That is our invitation. It is learning to begin to be a full person. The mysterious thing about the Christian revelation is that as we live our lives fully, we live out the eternal consequences of our own creation. We are no longer living as if we were exhausting a limited supply of life that we received at our birth. What we know from the teaching of Jesus is that we become infinitely filled with life when we are at one with the source of our being, . . . our Creator, the One who describes himself as "I Am."
The art of living, living our lives as fully human beings, is the art of living out of the eternal newness of our origin and living fully from our center, . . .from our spirit as it springs from the creative hand of God. The terrible thing about so much modern, materialistic living is that it can be so shallow, without a serious recognition of the depths and the possibilities that are there for each of us if only we will take the time [to] undertake the discipline to meditate. . . .
In the Christian vision we are led to this source of our being by a guide, and our guide is Jesus, the fully realized man, the person wholly open to God. As we meditate each day we may not recognize our guide. That is why the Christian journey is always a journey of faith. But as we approach the center of our being, as we enter our heart, we find that we are greeted by our guide, greeted by the one who has led us. We are welcomed by the person who calls each one of us into personal fullness of being. The consequences or results of meditation are just this fullness of life—harmony, oneness and energy, a divine energy that we find in our own heart, in our own spirit. That energy is the energy of all creation. As Jesus tells us, it is the energy that is love.
After meditation: from THE SOUL OF RUMI: a New Collection of Ecstatic Poems, tr. Coleman Barks (New York: HarperCollins, 2002), p. 33.
Love is the way messengers
From the mystery tell us things.
Love is the mother.
We are her children.
She shines inside us,
Visible-invisible, as we trust
Or lose trust, or feel it start to grow again.
Carla Cooper - email@example.com

I can't lie, I've been known to rock some kid accessories. There was that whole winter I layered striped BabyLegs under my short-sleeves to add pizzazz (and warmth). And then there was that gray Children's Place headband (meant for a toddler) that I wore incessantly for months. If only I could fit into kid-sized clothing, but alas... I'm an adult.
My latest obsession is this fierce fox purse from H&M's All For Children line (out October 18) that's ridiculously on trend (foxes are everywhere for fall!) and oh-so-perfectly sized to compliment a sassy dress or skinny jeans and a tank. The whole H&M collection is one of the best lines for kids I've previewed for the season. The cutting edge fabrics and silhouettes in miniature sizes will have you wishing for a "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" moment, at least for a day, so you can sport the budget-friendly, designer-inspired looks yourself. Get yourself to H&M as soon as the collection launches! In the meantime, don't judge me and my kid purse because I guarantee you'll be scouring that kid section yourself (shh, it'll be our little secret).
Are there any products or items you steal from your kids? Leave a comment to spill your miniature-sized obsessions!

Jimmy Page Rocks The Beijing Olympics Closing Ceremony!
Forget Led Zeppelin's O2 gig last year...this was probably Jimmy Page's biggest gig ever!
Unfortunately for Zep fans, the Guitar God didn't perform with his famous band mates, but with Pop Idol popstar Fiona Lewis, in a rendition of Led Zeppelin's classic 'Whole Lotta Love'. The duo, performing on a stage formed at the top of a red double-decker bus, was then joined by Dave Beckham, who kicked a ball to the surrounding crowd.
This bizarre performance was one of the highlights of the closing ceremony for the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
With rumours of a full Led Zeppelin reunion tour still unconfirmed, it was a rare opportunity to see good old Jimmy Page rocking out!

Raw Food Sources for Dogs and Cats
Raw Food Sources is a start up web resource for people who feed their pets raw meat or who make their own pet food from raw sources. Its main feature is an online directory of raw food suppliers. These include butchers, farmers, and manufacturers of frozen raw blends. We hope to encourage more local organic farmers to make some of their products available for pets. The site will also include information about canine and feline nutrition, how to decide what to feed your pet, and the various types of foods available. Green tripe anyone? How about some raw meaty bones? turkey necks? chicken backs? whole rabbit? veal heart? beef liver?
Pet owners who feed raw or prepare homemade food for their pets are exceptionally dedicated to their pets' health. Most see their pets as family members and focus on quality, rather than price alone, when choosing pet foods. The demographic tends to be female, and relatively affluent.
We are also targeting the "local" "green" "sustainable" market and will include advertising from "natural" pet care businesses that offer supplements, toys, etc. We want to become a trusted resource for accurate, impartial information on what and how to feed your dog or cat for better nutrition.
A logo that conveys we're referring to raw food for pets rather than people
"Raw Food Sources" is the title; "for Dogs and Cats" a subhead or tagline
Sophisticated, simple, and "cool" but with a touch of humor (pets are fun!)
Avoid cartoony dogs and cats; it's not a juvenile market
UPDATE: I should clarify what pets eat on raw food diets. Mostly it's raw meaty bones. For example I cut up a whole chicken and feed the pieces to my dog. He eats bones and all. Raw bones are good for them; cooked bones are not. See the list of other types of food above. Think carnivore. Think wolf eating his prey. Raw fed pets generally don't eat kibble; so dry food images aren't appropriate for this logo. I think food bowls are probably a bad idea too.
UPDATE 2: I generally prefer more modern web 2.0 type fonts and simple designs with a unique symbol.

CARSON, Calif. – All week – for the two-and-a-half week duration of the American training camp, actually – Bob Bradley talked about speed.
The speed of the game at the international level. The speed with which the United States national team's opponents, Chile, would fly around the field. Speed. Speed. Speed.
"It was a fast game," said Bradley, unsurprisingly, after the Americans drew 1-1 with the South Americans on Saturday night. "Chile's way of playing is such that they put pressure on you. There probably are some periods where our ability to stay tuned in and move quick and be in good spots breaks down. And there's some moments when we lose some balls that are dangerous. But there's a strong response when we were down. I thought that was quite good."
PHOTOS: Galaxy defenders Omar Gonzalez, Sean Franklin and A.J. DeLaGarza
Bradley was heartened by his team's renewed vigor after Esteban Paredes tallied in the 53rd minute. The US, fueled by the insertion of Juan Agudelo and Teal Bunbury into the lineup, equalized and held on for the draw.
Overall, the American coach sounded pleased with the effort, but learned few new things about the players he's seen every day for the past 17 days.
"You get to know these guys," he said. "And for the most part [Saturday night], we saw a lot of what we know."
Bradley did note that midfielder Brek Shea had a much stronger performance than his debut showing in October against Colombia. Of course, the speed of the game (there it is again) eventually caught up with the FC Dallas winger.
"Against Colombia, Brek just said at halftime, 'That's faster than anything I've ever been in,'" Bradley recounted. "That day, it's almost like it was going so fast from the start, he couldn't really find a way in the game to make plays and be in the right spot.
"Tonight for 20 minutes, 25 minutes, you could see his growth. That now, all of a sudden, he's pushing himself in ways. The demand of these games is that much higher. Now, like a lot of these guys, he's not used to playing in games that have that tempo and pace all the time. So at a certain point, the tank is empty, but it was still a good sign to see the progress going forward. Hopefully these are the types of games that will help him."
Shea and his teammates – seven of whom earned their first caps – gained valuable experience on the field against Chile. They can take what they learned during the January sessions and apply it to their club situations. At least that's the hope of the US coaching staff.
"We hope and constantly remind these guys that things they take away from camps and these games need to go back with them and need to continue to improve," Bradley said. "We keep looking for opportunities where we think it makes sense to bring guys in and move them along."
A Feb. 9 game against Egypt looms on the horizon, and some of the 17 players who took the field against Chile may find themselves on the plane to Cairo.
They'll know what to expect: faster, ever faster.

The future is now for Smoak in Seattle
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Ever since Justin Smoak came to Seattle from the Texas Rangers in the Cliff Lee trade back in July 2010, Smoak has been considered the Mariners' first baseman of the future.
It's time for the future to arrive.
PEORIA, Ariz. -- Ever since Justin Smoak came to Seattle from the Texas Rangers in the Cliff Lee trade back in July 2010, Smoak has been considered the Mariners' first baseman of the future.
It's time for the future to arrive.
"I have told him he is my first baseman," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "But he still has to go out and perform."
The Mariners' front office has reaffirmed its commitment, avoiding arbitration with Smoak by agreeing to a contract earlier this month that guarantees him $2.6375 million this year with a $150,000 buyout on a $3.65 million option for 2015 that becomes guaranteed if Smoak reaches 525 plate appearances this season.
Smoak is now 27. He has three-plus seasons of big league time in Seattle. And just as the fans in the Northwest are getting a bit uneasy with the Mariners' recent struggles, the club has reached a point where it's time for Smoak to take charge at first base or ... well, the Mariners, after all, do have other options.
Looking to add right-handed run production during the offseason, they signed free agent Corey Hart, who was sidelined the entire 2013 season because of two knee operations. Seattle also traded for Logan Morrison. They are both projected to get time in the outfield and at DH, but both are more suited for first base.
Smoak gets it.
"I am not going to worry about the other guys," Smoak said. "I talked to Lloyd after the additions of Logan and Corey, and he told me I'm still a big part of things. I know what I am capable of doing. All I have to do is do it."
Sounds simple, but it is not.
Smoak has carried a can't-miss tag ever since his days at Stratford High School in Goose Creek, S.C., where he was the Carolina AAAA Player of the Year as a junior and senior. He enhanced his status in the eyes of baseball scouts during three years at the University of South Carolina, drawing comparisons as a hitter to Chipper Jones and Mark Teixeira.
A first-round Draft pick (11th overall) by the Rangers in 2008, Smoak was involved in a lengthy negotiation and didn't sign until Aug. 15 that summer. That barely gave him time to play in 14 games and get 62 professional at-bats with Clinton of the Class A Midwest League that summer.
Fewer than 16 months later, on April 23, 2010, Smoak made his big league debut in Texas.
It has not, however, been an instant success story, by any means. There was that trade to Seattle. There have been brief returns to Triple-A each of the last three seasons, including a rehab assignment last year after being sidelined with a strained oblique muscle.
But there also was a growing anticipation that Smoak had finally arrived last season. By mid-August, he was hitting .273, making adjustments to the dimensions of Safeco Field and its deep outfield fences.
Then came a reminder of how cruel the game of baseball can be. Smoak hit .149 over the final six weeks. He had 19 hits and 35 strikeouts in his final 128 at-bats.
The more glaring stat was that Smoak, who is naturally right-handed, hit only .192 from the right side last season -- 68 points lower than he hit left-handed and 42 points lower than his previous career average from the right side.
For the first time, Smoak's big league status became a subject of public debate. Smoak heard it.
"I have pride at the plate," said Smoak. "I was just trying to do too much. I have to get back to basics."
That was Smoak's focus during offseason workouts. And it's his focus this spring.
Yes, Safeco is a big ballpark. No, it's not a home run heaven. Yes, Smoak is considered a big-time power threat. No, that can't be his focus.
"I have to get an approach where I use the whole field," said Smoak. "Home runs are going to come, but in our ballpark you have be a hitter first."
It's a focus Smoak had all winter, and it is carrying over to Spring Training.
With a new manager and new hitting coach, Howard Johnson, who was a run-producing switch-hitter himself in the big leagues, Smoak feels like he has a new chance to reaffirm his status as the Mariners' everyday first baseman.
"It's up to me," Smoak said.
McClendon is in agreement.
"The manager doesn't make out the lineup," McClendon said. "You go 3-for-4, hit a home run and drive in four runs, somehow your name is in the lineup the next day."
The message has been delivered. Smoak has heard it loud and clear.

SAN BERNARDINO >> A man was flat on his stomach in the middle of the street, dead and surrounded by temporary police barriers early Saturday morning, as detectives tried to piece together what led to a Fontana officer-involved shooting here.
Shortly after 3:30 a.m., Fontana police officers investigating an attempted murder of a 37-year-old man in their city Friday night, shot and killed a man armed with a sawed-off high-powered rifle on North Davidson Avenue, according to San Bernardino police.
At 10:45 p.m. Friday, Fontana police investigated a shooting that left one man who was shot in the upper torso in grave condition, police said.
Fontana police learned that a house in the 800 block of North Davidson Avenue in San Bernardino was associated with the possible shooters, San Bernardino police Sgt. Gary Robertson said.
"Four officers in one car were watching the Davidson Avenue house when two men quietly approached the unmarked police car from the rear," he said. "Both men were armed, and officers, in fear of their life, opened fire on the suspects."
One of the suspects, identified as James Moala Kofu, 22, of Fontana, died at the scene, police said. His weapon reportedly was recovered nearby.
The other suspect, identified as Antonio Valentino Ramirez, 35, of Fontana, was taken into custody a short time later, Robertson said.
Police say Ramirez was armed with a handgun when he was arrested and is the prime suspect in the Fontana shooting.
Police also said a woman was taken into custody at the Davidson Avenue address in connection with the attempted murder in Fontana. Her identity was withheld.
No officers were injured and police will be seeking four counts of attempted murder of a police officer and one count of attempted murder for the Fontana shooting when the case is submitted to the District Attorney's Office.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Detective John Munoz at 909-384-5630 or Sgt. Gary Robertson at 909-841-5361.

Master Bathroom Storage
Need Master Bathroom Storage?
You guessed it – it's all about getting the most master bathroom storage at Hello I Live Here today. As most of you know, we have started to spruce up our master bathroom. Last week on my face book page, we discussed paint colors. Thank you all for your input, we went with the Valspar color, Shaken Not Stirred for the walls, and the vanity color will be unveiled next post 🙂 They are both beautiful and give our master bath that spa like feel we were looking for.
Before we painted the walls, we added some new master bathroom storage. This storage was placed in between the wall studs and we love the outcome so much we thought we would share that piece with you today. Keep in mind that we have not picked the hardware for the outside yet as we want everything to match when we are complete.
We all know it's a big deal anytime you can discover master bathroom storage or any type of storage. This project took us a weekend to complete, moderate in skill level and cost us less than $100. I am sure we could have done it cheaper, but I am fussy about using Select Pine Wood from Home Depot when I do a build. I love the straightness of the wood and the way it sands.
Using the plan from The Family Handyman, we got started following each step.
1. First, we went to our bathroom wall and determined the space we would use. We then cut a small whole into the dry wall and inserted a mirror to make sure we had no plumbing or electrical behind the wall (after all a small whole to patch is way better than a whole wall)
2. When we knew all was clear we determined the size we wanted our storage and cut out the drywall. The hole for our master bathroom storage shelf spanned a stud, so that was also removed.
3. We went to the garage and got started by building two simple box cabinets. To ensure a consistent gap between the two storage cabinets, we added a spacer. We then joined them together with a 1×3 center trim and attached a 1/4″ Purebond cabinet back. This gave us the double-sided storage cabinet we desired.
4. We used or Kreg PH jig to join the storage cabinets, our craftsman saw for cutting the plywood, and our Ryobi nail gun for attaching the cabinet back. We also used Gorilla Glue for extra hold power.
5. After building the frame we wanted, we took the frame into the bathroom space and dry fitted into the cut out. (This way we knew if we were square on for our cuts or if we needed to enlarge the hole.)
6. Once we were confident the master bathroom storage cabinets fit the wall hole, we filled the Kreg holes using wood filler (which I make myself). The next step was to cut and add the shelves. For our needs we decided to add fixed bathroom shelves vs movable shelves. We also wanted to assure the shelves were aligned to each other.
7. Next, we moved onto our master bathroom storage door frames. This was a little tricky since we have not built many door frames, but The Family Handyman did not let us down. We used a saw stop to cut door frame parts to a consistent size. We then used Kreg to join the door frames. Using scotch tape we attached dimes to each side and the top and bottoms of the storage case. This provided a perfect 1/8″ per side gap we need around the door frames. Once we completed our door frames, we dry fit them to make sure they were perfect for our master bathroom storage.
8. Moving on, we flipped the door frame over, filled the Kreg holes and routed a 1/4″ trim the depth of our Plexiglas. This ensured the glass fit flush to the storage door frames. We then adhered rice paper, available from Home Depot, to keep the inside private. Finally we adhered the Plexiglas to master bathroom storage doors with clear caulking.
9. We primed and painted the entire master bathroom storage cabinets and doors with Valspar Bare Wood Primer.
10. Once the painting was complete we added the hinges as plans show, and hung our doors, inset the box and screwed the new master bathroom storage to our framed out studs in the master bath.
We also did an extra step. We took the time to add some insulation behind the piece due to the shower from the other bathroom being on that wall. This just helps keep the noise at bay between the walls. And we are trying to decide if we should leave the inside white or do the back grey for contrast in the piece. (the small grey patch shown through the glass 🙂 Opinions on this would be nice!
Well, this was the first part of the Master bath re-do and this great master bathroom storage idea. For our other projects checkout the vanity upgrade, master bath tile and board and batten 🙂
Share your master bathroom storage ideas below – we would love to hear them 🙂
Happy Tuesday!

You Have All Hurt Moby's Feelings
[There was a video here]
In a interview this week with Fox News, bespectacled musician Moby talked about all the internet haterz and how they make him feel bad, and he specifically mentioned you, Gawker readers.
Yes, it seems that Moby has been wandering around his beautiful hilltop castle, wondering why Gawker commenters have been so mean to him in the past. Why have you been so mean to him? All the people that comment on Moby.com are perfectly lovely. And yet here it's all bile and short-burst outrage. You should all think about what you've done. And hey, no mean comments about Mr. Moby on this post! He's reading, after all.

HearingExchange needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
My blog site for people with hearing loss and their families needs a sophisticated, trendy logo that reflects the outlook that hearing loss doesn't need to get in the way of dreams. Current logo is at http://www.HearingExchange.com. Colors can change as long as they are compatible with purple color theme of current site.
The HearingExchange logo should show HearingExchange as one word as I have printed here. The current logo is old and tired looking and doesn't have a positive vibe. HearingExchange is a community site for adults with hearing loss, families of deaf and hard of hearing children and professionals who work with them. Content is geared primarily toward parents of young children, who are often worried about the impact their child's hearing loss will have. I'm looking for a hip, upbeat logo that will be attractive to young parents of deaf children as well as elders with hearing loss.
Graphic of ear or cochlea is fine but not necessary.
The blogs's main design color is purple and the logo needs to be compatible with that but doesn't need to be black and purple as it is now.
- HearingExchange should be one word with the two letters capitalized as it is here.
- Include the tagline: "Blog and Resources for People with Hearing Loss"
- Logo should be compatible with purple color scheme of blog but does not need to be black and purple as it is now.
- Style must be sophisticated, hip, eye-catching and appeal to broad range of ages from young parent to grandparents
- Must be easy to read
- Prefer to have the graphics "tell" a bit about what the site is about. Thus, a good rendering of an ear or cochlea may be a good idea, though not necessary.
- Nothing cutesy or baby-ish
- No cartoon like renderings of ears, hearing aids or cochlear implants, graphics must be sophisticated in nature
- Do not include my photo currently in the header of the HearingExchange site
- Do not include any sign language letters or symbols
- No abstract graphics that have no relationship to hearing loss or are too difficult to decipher what it is
