Living Space: Tame that out-of-control garage
By Kathryn Weber
April 12, 2012 at midnight
Updated April 11, 2012 at 11:12 p.m.
Even if the rest of the house looks terrific, there's one room many homeowners don't want anyone to see: the garage. Too often, the flotsam and jetsam of our lives finds its way into the garage. If you get frustrated picking through the mess, or if you're embarrassed to even open the garage door for fear your neighbors will peek inside, it's time to get organized.
Time for inspiration
Because it's hard to get inspired about cleaning the garage, you may need some inspiration. Nothing is more motivating than seeing other garages that are organized and neat. Google Images is a good place to look.
A quick search under "garage organization" will yield thousands of garage photos illustrating a number of organizing methods from large wall units to simple shelves. You'll find both commercial and do-it-yourselfer images to help you formulate a plan. Print out and enlarge the photo you like best to guide your garage transformation.
Take it outside
Once you know what you want to do, move everything out of the garage. Create two piles, one for items that will stay, the other for things you plan to throw away or donate. Then, using your Google image, install an organizing system. Metal-free standing shelves go together in a snap and can be removed if you sell the house.
Overhead shelves that can be installed in the ceiling rafters go up fast and offer terrific storage for items you use infrequently, like camping gear and seasonal decorations. Simple heavy-duty metal shelves, available in the garage section of your local home center, large clear tubs and a variety of hooks and hangers will get you started quickly.
A singular good rule for keeping your garage neat and tidy? Get as much as you can off the floor and onto the walls.
Sort, separate
Once your shelves or organizing units have been installed, start designating storage areas based on what items you use most. If it's tools, put these within easy reach. If it's sports equipment, stash your collection so each piece can be retrieved quickly.
Put the items you use least often in less convenient storage areas, such as overhead areas or high shelves. If you use opaque storage tubs, clearly label each so you won't have to open every one when you need something.
While you're re-working the garage, try adding some nice features to the mix, such as a recycling center or a workbench with pegboard for tool storage. There's no reason your garage can't be useful and enjoyable, as well as organized.

text: The Effect of Intravenous Midazolam on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting: A Meta-AnalysisGrant, Michael C. MD; Kim, Jimin BS; Page, Andrew J. MD; Hobson, Deborah BSN; Wick, Elizabeth MD; Wu, Christopher L. MDAnesthesia & Analgesia: March 2016 - Volume 122 - Issue 3 - p 656–663 doi: 10.1213/ANE.0000000000000941 Ambulatory Anesthesiology and Perioperative Management: Research Report Abstract In Brief Author Information BACKGROUND: Research has shown that high-risk surgical patients benefit from a multimodal therapeutic approach to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). Our group sought to investigate the effect of administering IV midazolam on PONV. METHODS: This meta-analysis included 12 randomized controlled trials (n = 841) of adults undergoing a variety of surgical procedures that investigated the effect of both preoperative and intraoperative IV midazolam on PONV in patients undergoing general anesthesia. RESULTS: Administration of IV midazolam was associated with significantly reduced PONV (risk ratio [RR] = 0.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.43–0.70), nausea (RR = 0.62; 95% CI, 0.40–0.94), vomiting (RR = 0.61; 95% CI, 0.45–0.82), and rescue antiemetic administration (RR = 0.49; 95% CI, 0.37–0.65) within 24 hours. Individual subgroup analyses of trials excluding the use of thiopental for induction, trials of either female sex or high-risk surgery, trials involving nitrous oxide maintenance, and trials using midazolam in combination with known antiemetics all yielded similar reductions in PONV end points within 24 hours of surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Administration of preoperative or intraoperative IV midazolam is associated with a significant decrease in overall PONV, nausea, vomiting, and rescue antiemetic use. Providers may consider the administration of IV midazolam as part of a multimodal approach in preventing PONV.

Where DO Your Tax Dollars Go?
Keep Education a Priority in Pennsylvania
Connect Vulnerable Persons with Services in Tough Economic Times
We have posted many opportunities to advocate on a variety of issues on our Take Action page (http://www.pachurchesadvocacy.org/index_files/Page630.htm, and on our Weblog Take Action page at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?cat=10. Please visit these pages to learn more, or click on links in items below.
Urge Pennsylvania's Congressional Members to Support Proposed Budget Priorities
President Obama's proposed Fiscal Year 2010 budget, while not perfect, seeks to invest in our future by expanding opportunities for all. His budget commits major investments in health care reform, education, and clean energy, while attempting to restore more fairness to our tax system and to reduce military expenditures over time in a responsible manner. It builds upon the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to protect Americans from the damaging impact of the recession while sowing seeds that should serve to produce a more sustainable prosperity for all.
Please urge Senators Casey and Specter and your representative to support the priorities outlined in the President's proposed budget.
The priorities outlined in this budget, if enacted, should begin to turn back the harsh trend of rising poverty, unemployment, hunger and homelessness. Individuals and families of all economic levels would benefit from extended opportunities and security that would come from expanding health care coverage, making college more affordable, supporting the financial and nutritional needs of low income families, expanding affordable housing, investing in a far-reaching policy that will develop clean sources of energy and protect the planet by reducing global warming pollution, and generate good jobs to rebuild our middle class.
These steps will set the federal budget on a responsible path–meeting the needs of families and making long-term investments in our nation's future while gradually reducing the deficit. Please call upon our Members of Congress to follow and build upon the President's lead in crafting its Budget Resolution, recognizing that there is no time to waste in meeting the nation's long-deferred needs.
Please urge Senators Casey and Specter and your representative to support the priorities outlined in the President's proposed budget. To learn more and to take action, go to http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5415/t/5044/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1369. (Also available at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=538.)
Urge Senator Specter to Support Comprehensive and Compassionate Immigration Reform
"While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country's immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday." ("Obama to Push Immigration Bill as One Priority," New York Times, published online on 4/8/09 at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/us/politics/09immig.html?_r=1&emc=eta1.)
While the President's support is extremely important, the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) notes that Senator Arlen Specter's support will be key if Congress is to pass humane and comprehensive immigration reform this year. Senator Specter is the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which makes him the most powerful Republican to weigh in on this issue.
While the senator supports immigration reform, he will need significant constituent support to lead the push for it this year. He needs to hear from his constituents, and voices from the faith community are particularly important. His staff recently told one of FCNL's lobbyists that his office never receives any positive calls on immigration.
Please help by taking action NOW at http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5415/t/5044/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1367. There are two actions you can take—calling Senator Specter, and sending him a message—and doing both would be even better!
For additional background, visit the action page above.
The Hebrew Bible/Old Testament tells us: "When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt…" (Leviticus 19:33-34, NRSV). In the New Testament, Jesus tells us to welcome the stranger (cf. Matthew 25:35, NRSV), for "… just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me" (Matthew 25:40, NRSV).
Please support comprehensive and compassionate immigration reform by contacting Senator Specter today!
Clergy and Religious Leader Sign-On for Employee Free Choice Act
From our friends at Interfaith Worker Justice:
You are likely aware by now that the Employee Free Choice Act will soon come to the floor of the United States House of Representatives and the Senate. As you know, this historic legislation will go a long way to ensuring the rights of worker to form unions without fear or intimidation.
We are inviting members of the clergy and religious leaders from Pennsylvania to sign on to this formal letter of support for the Employee Free Choice Act that will be delivered directly to Senator Arlen Specter. The voices of the members of faith communities will likely be decisive in passing this crucial legislation for working people. (NOTE: Lay persons who are not in leadership but who wish to act may do so at http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5415/t/5044/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1280.)
If you choose to add your name to the list of supporters, you can sign the letter at http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1035/t/9118/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=816. You can also e-mail Jonathan Currie at firstname.lastname@example.com or call him at (773) 728-8400, ext. 14. Please provide your full name, title, denominational or congregational affiliation, and the city or town in which you live. Your help in Pennsylvania in the coming weeks will be indispensible to the national effort to pass the Employee Free Choice Act. Thank you for all that you do in this important effort. (This action also posted at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=501.)

Your avatar will join others to demand that insurance companies be removed from health care. (This action also posted at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=504.)
Act Now for Comprehensive Immigration Reform—In-District Meetings April 6-17 and More
The Interfaith Immigration Coalition, a partnership of faith-based organizations committed to enacting fair and humane immigration reform, is calling on faith communities throughout the United States to conduct "Neighbor to Neighbor" in-district meetings with their Members of Congress during the April 6-17 Congressional break. To find out what you can do to help, go to http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=399.
Other Opportunities for Action
Support Immigration Reform by Faxing the President, Senator Reid, and Speaker Pelosi: In order to reinforce the Neighbor to Neighbor visits happening around the country this week and next, America's Voice is asking advocates to send a fax to Members of Congress, urging them to take action for immigrant families during this holiday season. Their goal is to send 3,000 faxes during the recess. They are asking for our help in getting to that goal—please help by sending a fax and forwarding this message to your colleagues and friends! You can cut and paste this message into an e-mail, or write your own and just send the link.
Click on the following link to watch the America's Voice new video, send a fax to President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and share this message with your friends, families, and colleagues to urge them to act: http://www.AmericasVoiceOnline.org/Family
America's Voices shares the following message:
Keeping families together isn't just a value for people of faith—it's a human value. It's a cornerstone of our society, and it's supposed to be a foundation of our immigration policies.
But the sad reality is that families are under attack in this country right now. They're threatened by excessive backlogs and immigration raids that rip mothers from daughters, husbands from wives.
They ask for our help in reinforcing the message that we must not allow harsh immigration enforcement to harm vulnerable families.
Again, here is the link to watch the video and send a message: http://www.AmericasVoiceOnline.org/Family (This action also available at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=528.)
Help Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy: The Leadership Conference on Civil Rights is asking for help to support important housing legislation.
Please visit or call Senator Robert Casey and Senator Arlen Specter during the April congressional recess (April 6-17) and urge them to support the Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy Act (S. 61).
Senator Casey: (202) 224-6324; http://casey.senate.gov/ for Pennsylvania offices—bottom of page)
Senator Specter: (202) 224-4254; http://specter.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.OfficeLocations for Pennsylvania offices)
The Helping Families Save Their Homes in Bankruptcy Act (S. 61) is designed to help stabilize our economy by allowing homeowners a final option to modify their mortgages in bankruptcy court, which would reduce foreclosures. It is estimated that 6,600 families are losing their homes to foreclosure every single day.
S. 61 would provide homeowners with a final option to prevent foreclosure through the Chapter 13 bankruptcy process, by setting up realistic and affordable mortgage payment plans. This last resort gives homeowners, local communities, and the economy an opportunity to recover from this current crisis, without cost to taxpayers. S. 61 is not a "bailout" for homeowners. However, in passing this bill, the Senate will provide homeowners an opportunity to stay in their homes in these difficult economic times—helping strengthen our local communities, not just corporations on Wall Street.
The House of Representatives passed a similar bill (H.R. 1106) in March, but the Senate has yet to bring this bill to the floor for a vote. We can't end the financial crisis without stemming the rising tide of foreclosures. Please call or visit our senators during the April recess and urge them to support S. 61.
To learn more about S. 61, go to http://www.civilrights.org/action_center/helping-families-save-their.html. (This post also available at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=533.)
Change to Win Seeking Congregations Interested in "Cure CVS" Campaign: The Cure CVS campaign is a project of the Change to Win labor federation that calls on CVS/pharmacy to be more responsible health care providers and stop discriminatory practices.
According to the campaign, CVS has been caught selling expired baby formula and children's medication, locking up condoms mostly in communities where people of color predominate, and redlining. The Cure CVS coalition urges CVS to change these policies.
The campaign is interested in going to churches to talk about a petition and upcoming actions. If you would like to learn more, you can find further information at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=516.
Ongoing Actions
Urge Governor Rendell to Call for a Moratorium and Study on the Death Penalty: Please call on Governor Rendell to commission a moratorium and a thorough study of the death penalty in Pennsylvania. (Faith message from the Council's Principles for Public Advocacy: We believe there is no room for vengeance and retribution in the Commonwealth's criminal justice system. Because we believe every soul is redeemable, we oppose capital punishment in any form because it denies opportunity for rehabilitation and restoration and is often racist and classist in its application.) Call (717) 787-2500 or e-mail by going to http://sites.state.pa.us/PA_Exec/Governor/govmail.html. For more information, go to http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=447.
Lots of Opportunities for Health Care Actions:
Contact Pennsylvania Legislators to Support SB 400, HB 1660—Publicly Funded, Privately Delivered Health Care for Pennsylvania
The Council believes that comprehensive health care must be available to ALL persons—regardless of ability to pay. A comprehensive care system should be: 1) universal; 2) continuous; 3) affordable to individuals and families; 4) affordable and sustainable for society; and 5) able to enhance health and well-being by promoting access to high-quality care that is effective, efficient, safe, timely, patient-centered, and equitable.
Therefore, the Council has chosen to endorse and support the following legislation: Pennsylvania's soon to be reintroduced legislation that embodies this concept—Senate Bill 400, and House Bill 1660. These bills were introduced in the previous session as SB 300 and HB 1660. Links will be provided as soon as the bills are posted.
The Council is joining the effort in Pennsylvania with Health Care for All PA (http://www.healthcare4allpa.org/home.php) to collect signers to a petition (http://www.pachurchesadvocacy.org/index_files/web_attachments/SB400_HB1660_petition.pdf) in support of this legislation. You can sign online (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5415/t/5044/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=315), or download a petition and ask your friends to join in support.
More important, however, is for you to contact your legislators to let them know you support these bills and ask for their support. You can do this at http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5415/t/5044/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=1329. This is the easy way to show your support, but your personal calls, letters and
e-mails have even more impact—so please consider a personal approach if you have time!
Ensure Health Care Reform Includes Health Coverage for All Children
There is growing momentum for President Obama and Congress to take up health care reform this year, and we want to make sure that any reform legislation includes health coverage for all children.
Therefore, we are joining with the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) and thousands of other child advocates to help ensure this happens by urging you to send an email to your Members of Congress today!
You can take action by visiting CDF's children's health action page.
Sign On in Support of a Faith Inspired Vision of Health Care
The Council is joining with people of faith around the country to support a new, Faith Inspired Vision of Health Care. Directions for signing on in support of this statement are included at the following links:
Sign on as a congregation or faith organization (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5415/t/5044/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=297)

Arlington Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17109, or e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com)
For a full listing of events, go to the Events Calendar at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?page_id=92.
Pennsylvania Immigration Lobby Day on May 5
The Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition (PICC) is holding a statewide lobby day on Tuesday, May 5 at the Capital in Harrisburg from 10:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. The Council has worked as part of this coalition to educate the public and develop support for fair policies that welcome and sustain immigrants.
At this event, participants will: learn how to talk about the issues around immigration; meet in teams and practice over lunch (lunch provided); visit lawmakers to voice your views and learn about theirs; and report back and network with other participants.
To register for the PICC Lobby Day, go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=wYojcWtG9Lkoo716py1PyA_3d_3d. This is important so that they have a count for lunch and have the information they need for scheduling visits with legislators.
PICC is also looking for help in housing out of town visitors. If you or your congregation in the Harrisburg area is able to house one or more visitors on the evening of May 4, or if you need more information in general, please contact Jessica Levy at (215) 459-2456 or email@example.com. (This event also posted at http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=511.)

Where DO Your Tax Dollars Go?
A new analysis released by National Priorities Project (NPP, at www.nationalpriorities.org) states that as taxes come due on April 15, taxpayers can take stock of how the federal government spent each 2008 income tax dollar: 37.3 cents went towards military-related spending, while environment, energy and science-related projects split 2.8 cents. In its annual release, Where Do Your Tax Dollars Go? (http://www.nationalpriorities.org/taxday2009), NPP offers a breakdown of how the federal government spent the median income family's 2008 tax payments in each state and 200 cities. To read the entire release from the National Priorities Project, go to http://pachurchesadvocacy.org/weblog/?p=488 (posted on 4/8/09).
Keep Education a Priority in Pennsylvania
Our friend and fellow advocate Jane Wilshusen graciously agreed to allow us to print her terrific op-ed piece on education funding ("Keep Education a Priority") that appeared in the April 6, 2009 issue of the Harrisburg Patriot-News (p.

Wall Street has started to notice there's something wrong with the circuitry in Apple's Reality Distortion Field – powered as it was mostly by Steve Jobs' ego – and shares are tanking accordingly.
Yesterday saw a 3.6 percent drop for Apple stock, and today it plunged a further two percent as trade analysts figure out the company's Apple 5 isn't the hot product the world expected. Stuart Jeffrey, for the influential Nomura, shifted his earnings forecasts for 2013 and 2014, noting sales of the iPhone 5 haven't been up to scratch.
In a note to clients, the Wall Street Journal reports, Jeffrey pointed out the iPhone 5's sales "really are disappointing so soon in the product's refresh" – and as a result, said it's "fair to worry about likely sales volumes in the next few quarters before the iPhone is next refreshed". This part of Jeffrey's vision counts on the iPhone 5 being a singular bad apple and puts faith in Cupertino's drive to innovate in the future.
The reality is, though, there are only so many times customers can be fleeced for what is essentially the same product, and the legal warpath Apple has been waging made it far more enemies than friends. Consumers, meanwhile, are turning to Android devices that have caught up and surpassed Apple spec, with a customisable user experience which is not – yet – under thumb from corporate control freaks.
Of course, this being Apple, shares are still through the roof – but down from the phenomenally over-valued $700 in September 2012. As the WSJ reports, stock hasn't dipped under $500 since February 2012, but shares have now fallen as low as $489.47.
Jeffrey expects an EPS of $45 and $50 for 2013 and 2014, respectively, which is short of Wall Street's wider predictions. He warned that margins for the iPhone are "unsustainably high" – and that they certainly will fall, although the timing is tougher to predict. Stock could drop as low as $400, and the analyst is skeptical that even an iPhone 5S or iPad mini with Retina display could materially boost demand.
Its rivals, meanwhile, have probably noticed that, while the widest economic catastrophe in decades, worldwide, rages on, a smarter idea is probably to target customers at lower price points – and they're buying.

Pane Sicilian
Brotkunst, Thanks for such a speedy reply. I can see that there is a great deal of difference between flours, lots to learn. I used Bob's Red Mill No.1 Durum Wheat Semolina Flour which I think is finer than the semolina. Living on an island I don't have access to a huge variety, and I was always worried that shipping on a heavy item like flour would be prohibitive. In my area we have one decent store and I did find the Hodgson Graham flour there, along with several KA flours. I shaped my loaves and placed them on parchment paper on a large cookie sheet, then into the frig overnight. I wasn't sure how long to let them sit out before baking - I see that you baked yours right away. Oh well, I'll try again. While I think of it, can anyone tell me how much less instant yeast to use when the recipe calls for regular yeast? Also, I am using Diamond Crystal kosher salt and never seem to get the amount right. Does anyone have the answer, please? Finally ( for now!) I want to make Floyd's sourdough loaves, and I'm not sure when he will be back so I'm throwing this out in case he is still away - he says he refreshes his starter around 8pm, then mixes dough the next morning. Does the starter sit on the counter all night or go back to the frig? Sorry if that is a silly question, A

Local reactions to the UASI grants
There's a lot of reaction in newspapers around the country today to DHS's announcement of the Urban Area Security Initiative grants on Tuesday, as detailed in these earlier posts here and here.
Officials in the SF Bay Area don't know how they're going to be able to cooperate on a single grant proposal. State and local officials in Las Vegas and San Diego are upset at not being on the lisk of "high-risk" cities (rightfully, I think, given the port & military assets in San Diego, and Las Vegas' known history of terror-related threats). Seattle and New York, among others, are moderately happy with the new allocation.
On a final note, I'd like to recommend again a RAND report entitled "Estimating Terror Risk" that I highlighted in a post about a month ago. The report focuses precisely on the UASI grant program in its analysis, and the data in it might very well have been the basis for some of the risk prioritization decisions made by Sec. Chertoff yesterday – although there are clear discrepancies between their rankings of metropolitan areas and the Department's list (e.g. San Diego is in the middle of the pack in the RAND report). It's a good contextual read for people who are trying to understand the decisions made yesterday.

Backyard Studio Project
by WarLord on Feb.25, 2014, under Uncategorized
I am in the process of building a small backyard studio from a 12 X 24 portable building. This project has been in the planning stages for a long time. Living in a small town with older buildings and bad or inadequate wiring has it's problems concerning digital production.This project will hopefully address those needs.
The basic ideas of the studio are:
- Audio/Video Recording area in back.
- Digital Audio/Video Editing and Animation area in front.
- Live Studio Monitors (audio) and large screen TV for reviewing work.
- Man Cave anywhere it can be crammed in (the large screen TV is STRICTLY for work… ahem).
Different types of buildings were inspected for construction quality. The outside of portable buildings can look great… even alike… but the inside is another story. I found buildings that looked identical varied from 24 inch centers to 16 inch centers with various (sometimes questionable) quality of materials used.
In the end I decided upon a Graceland Lofted Barn building because of its solid construction. Now I'm not going to say it wasn't thrown together with various flaws that could have made it much better than it is but overall still one of the best built I've looked at.
There were no structural flaws and the contractors I'm using… tongue and groove woodworking specialist Cruz Management (Cass Cruz & Ron Maldonado) from La Veta, Colorado are having no problems in coping with upgrading the building to a better level of construction with little added cost.
The construction consists of 2 X 4 wall studs on 16″ centers and 2X6 rafters on 24″ centers.
Everywhere a wall meets a rafter there is a double stud for the rafter to rest on.
The windows barely qualified as windows which is common to all the buildings I looked at so they were replaced with double pane vinyl windows. The West Texas dust is bad enough outside… really don't need it inside.
Wiring and electrical work was completed by McArthur Electric which included installing a double box outlet on every other stud and a few in the loft. Number of outlets per breaker was limited so load would not be a problem and including the outlets on the underside of the loft ceiling a person should be able to stand anywhere in the room and plug into a wall outlet with solid, steady power. There are more breakers in the box of this 288 square foot building than in my entire house it sits behind.
My stepson Zac, his friend Fern and I insulated most of the interior of the building getting it ready for the contractors. This was fairly straight forward as all we had to do was cut for length and staple to the wall studs.
The guys at Cruz Management with help from Zac got started with the task of adding the Mass Loaded Vinyl (soundproofing) to the walls. This turned out to be quite a job as the material weighs 1 pound per square foot (the mass in mass loaded) making each roll around 100 pounds.
After a lot of research in soundproofing it seems the only sure way to stop sound is by mass. I will have drums and guitar amplifiers wailing away in here and don't want to upset the neighbors.
At this point the tongue and groove pine work is started and this is where these contractors really shine in terms of quality and speed. The back wall was knocked out in no time. Starter boards were added to the long sides and the front interior wall is being completed as of this writing.
I will be back with more info on the project as it unfolds.

Moving into a new house is exciting. There are so many things going on all at once when you're in the process of moving. I remember the first night we spent in our new home. It felt strange, not really like home yet. Almost like when you spend the night in a hotel. Spending the night in a new place can be fun and maybe even a little scary. Our cats were pretty scared. Hansel in particular was terrified and kept hissing at the wall behind our bed.
Did you know that when we're sleeping somewhere new, our brains stay vigilant to protect against unknown threats? It goes back to our evolutionary roots and you can read more about it here.
When you move into a new house, what are some things that can help it really feel like home?
New Home Essentials
A rug is something that can instantly add a cozy, homey feel to an empty space. You can find a very similar rug here.
Artwork is a very personal thing. Everyone has their own style and preference when it comes to art. Hanging something you love helps to customize your space and make it really, truly feel like your own.
My brother did this painting and it's one of my favorite pieces. You can follow him on instagram if you'd like!
A new mattress, sheets, and pillows will give your new home a fresh, comfortable place to sleep your first night and every night after that. A lot of times, it doesn't make sense to drag your old mattress into your new home (for instance, moving a long distance or if your old mattress is in very bad condition.) A new mattress might be just the thing to make your new home perfect.
Did you know that worn out pillows are known to cause a whole host of problems such as neck and hip pain? Moving is a great opportunity to invest in new pillows! And replacing pillows is much more affordable than buying a whole new mattress, so it's definitely something worth looking into.
Sheets are also much easier to replace than a mattress and there's nothing quite like the feeling of brand-new, fresh and clean sheets the first night.
Candles and matches are always a good idea. Especially if they smell amazing! My favorites are Bath & Body Works or Yankee Candle Company. Candles will add a definite feeling of warmth to your new home.
Bonus – you can find this adorable owl trivet here.
Dishes and eating utensils are important. It may not seem like it, but eating your first meals in your new home on nice china with real flatware, rather than paper and plastic will make you feel at home and not like you're camping out somewhere (or make you feel like a struggling college student.)
When we were doing our kitchen remodel, one of the best feelings was when we were able to eat off of real dishes and silverware again!
Our dishes are Gordon Ramsay for Royal Doulton and you can find similar here. Our flatware is Reed & Barton Antique Hammered Stainless Steel, which you can find here.
Taking a bath is one of the most relaxing things you can do to prepare yourself for bed. Make sure to have some great bath products and towels to make your first night's rest peaceful.
The Threshold towels from Target are my favorite and they're super affordable! I love how they come in so many different colors so it's easy to change the look of my bathroom with a pop of color whenever I feel like it.

Acadians Who Found Refuge in Louisiana, February 1764-early 1800s
Le Borgne de BÉLISLE
[BAY-lyle, beh-LYLE]
Emmanuel, fils, son of Emmanuel Le Borgne and Catherine Pleneau, was born at Calais in c1610. Emmanuel, fils married Jeanne, daughter of Jacques François and Jeanne Gouillon, at St.-Marguerite, La Rochelle, in February 1635, became a wealthy merchant at La Rochelle, and was named Seiur du Coudray, chevalier de l'ordre de Saint-Michel. During the early 1640s, he secured a business partnership with Acadian governor Charles Menou, sieur d'Aulnay de Charnisay, and in fact became the governor's chief creditor. D'Aulnay died in a boating accident in Acadian in May 1650. After securing papers from the dead governor's father verifying his claims, Le Borgne sent an expedition to Acadia to seize what assets he could of d'Aulnay's estate to satisfy what he claimed was a 260,000-livres debt. Meanwhile, Le Borgne sent his second son, Alexandre, still a boy, to Boston in 1651 to make peace with the New Englanders and to press his father's claims in Acadia. The senior Le Borgne himself did not go to Acadia until 1653. Meanwhile, his men reeked havoc in the colony. Le Borgne nevertheless recouped little of the debt before the English seized Acadia again in 1654. At the end of that year, after the surrender of Port-Royal, Le Borgne left his eldest son, 18-year-old Emmanuel du Coudray, as a hostage at Port-Royal and returned to France. From 1657 to 1667, the French crown considered Emmanuel Le Borgne to be the proprietary governor of the colony, but he never returned to Acadia. Emmanuel, fils eventually was released by the English, never married, and died au service du roi in August 1675, at age 39, the same month his father died at La Rochelle, age 65. Emmanuel, père's youngest son, Nicolas, born in c1643, became a priest, so he, too, did not create a family of his own.
Emmanuel, père's second son, Alexandre Le Borgne de Bélisle, born at La Rochelle in c1640, went to Acadia with his father and older brother when he was still a boy, and it is he who became the progenitor of the Le Borgne de Bélisle family in Acadia. He married Marie de Saint-Étienne de La Tour, daughter of former governor Charles La Tour and La Tour's second wife Jeanne Motin de Reux, former governor d'Aulnay's widow, in c1675. Their daughters married into the Girouard dit de Ru, D'Amours de Plaine, Rodrigue dit de Fonds, and Duperié families. However, before he settled down with Marie and started his own family, Alexandre made his own mark in Acadian history. During the English occupation of the colony, in May 1658, when he was only 18 years old, the young nobleman, at the head of a force of 50 men, seized La Hève on the Atlantic coast from the English. Sir Thomas Temple, the English governor, counterattacked. Alexandre was wounded in the fight and brought to London as a prisoner, where he remained for a number of years. In 1668, French authorities made Alexandre governor of Acadia in place of his father, and he remained in this position, in absentia or otherwise, until Acadia became a royal French colony; thus, Alexandre was the last proprietary governor of French Acadia. He became seigneur of Port-Royal after he returned to Acadia in 1670 and died there in c1693, in his early 50s. He fathered seven children by Marie, two of them sons who remained in Acadia and created families of their own.
Alexandre's older son Emmanuel Le Borgne de Bélisle, born in c1676 at Port-Royal, married Cécile, a daughter of Pierre Thibodeau, at Port-Royal in c1698; they had only one child, a daughter, Marie, who married Jean Bertrand of Plaisance, Newfoundland.
Younger son Alexandre, fils, married Anastasie, a daughter of Jean-Vincent d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin, the famous capitaine de sauvages, and an Abenaki woman named Mathilde, at Pentagouët, Maine, in December 1707, during Queen Anne's War. Alexandre, fils and Anastasie had eight children, including two sons: Alexandre III, born in c1708; and Jacques in c1710. Alexandre, fils and Anastasie's daughters married into the Rondeau, Dupont Duvivier, and Robichaud families. Alexandre III married Marie, daughter of Jean LeBlanc and Jeanne Bourgeois of Minas, at Grand-Pré in January 1731. They must have been cousins because the Church had to grant them a dispensation to marry. Alexandre III died in August 1744, when he was only 36, but not before giving Marie at least five sons: Alexandre IV, born in c1736; Anselme (probably named after his paternal great-uncle, Bernard-Anselme d'Abbadie de Saint-Castin, also a famous "captain of Indians") in c1738; Jean-Pierre, called Pierre, in c1740; Joseph-Marie in c1742; and Mathurin in 1744. Jacques married Marie-Anne Maurice probably at Annapolis Royal in c1730. Marie-Anne gave him a son, Jacques, born in c1731, who married Cécile, daughter of Claude Doucet and Marie Comeau, at Annapolis Royal in January 1752.
[For more of this family in pre- and post-disperal Acadia and Canada, see Book Three]
[For the family's travails during the Great Upheaval, see Book Six]
Anselme Le Borgne de Bélisle, age 29, wife Anne Babin, age unrecorded, and their infant son Paul came to Louisiana with the second contingent of Acadian exiles from Maryland in 1767. They settled with other Maryland exiles in the new Acadian community of St.-Gabriel d'Iberville, upriver from New Orleans. They also lived at Ascension, on the river below St.-Gabriel. Anne died at St.-Gabriel or Ascension in the late 1760s or early 1770s, and Anselme remarried. He and his new wife settled on upper Bayou Lafourche.
During the late 1780s and early 1790s, Spanish officials were counting Acadian Bélisles on upper Bayou Lafourche:
Marguerite Le Borgne de Bélisle, wife of Amand Landry, died in Assumption Parish in 1831, in her late 50s.
Françoise-Hélène Le Borgne de Bélisle, wife of Lucas Alexandre Landry, died in Assumption Parish in December 1841; she was 69 years old.
Marie Le Borgne de Bélisle died in Assumption Parish in May 1843. The priest who recorded her burial said that she was 73 years old when she died but mentioned no husband.
Descendants of Anselme LE BORGNE DE BÉLISLE (c1738-1817; Emmanuel, Alexandre, Alexandre, fils)
Anselme, son of probably Alexandre Le Borgne de Bélisle III and Marie LeBlanc, born at Grand-Pré in c1738, was exiled to Maryland in 1755. He married fellow Acadian Anne, daughter of Paul Babin and Marie LeBlanc of l'Assomption, Pigiguit, probably in Maryland. They came to Louisiana in 1767 and settled at St.-Gabriel d'Iberville and Ascension on the Upper Acadian Coast. Anselme remarried to Marie-Josèphe, daughter of fellow Acadians Joseph Dupuis and Élisabeth LeBlanc of Grand-Pré, on the Acadian Coast in the late 1760s or early 1770s. Spanish officials counted them at Ascension in 1777; they owned a single slave. They moved to upper Bayou Lafourche probably in the late 1780s; Spanish officials counted them at Assumption in 1788; they still owned only a single slave. A decade later, they held three slaves. Their daughters married into the Landry family. Anselme died in Assumption Parish in February 1817, age 80. None of his three sons seem to have fathered sons of their own, so, except for its blood, this line of the family did not survive in the Bayou State.
Oldest son Paul, by his father's first wife, born probably at Annapolis, Maryland, in October 1766, died at Ascension in August 1791. He was only 25 years old and did not marry.
Joseph-Anselme, by his father's second wife, baptized at St.-Jacques, age unrecorded, in May 1778, probably remarried to Marie Azélie, daughter of fellow Acadian Joseph Duhon and widow of Augustin LeBlanc, at the Paincourtville church, Assumption Parish, in September 1850; Joseph was in his early 70s. Joseph Anselme died in Assumption Parish in November 1851; he was 74 years old. He and his wife (or wives) seem to have had no sons, so his line of the family died with him.
Youngest son Auguste, by his father's second wife, born at St.-Jacques or Ascension in c1782, died near Paincourtville, Assumption Parish, in May 1855. He was 73 years old and does not seem to have married.
NON-ACADIAN FAMILIES in LOUISIANA
The Le Borgne/Bélisle family from Acadia should not be confused with the family that sprang from Jacques-Antoine Le Borne or Borne of Valenciennes, France, who came to Louisiana in 1718 as an engagé contracted to the Demeuves Concession, which was supposed to have gone to the Red River valley but was established, instead, at Taensa, near present-day Norco, St. Charles Parish. After the concession failed, Jacques-Antoine remained in the colony and settled on the nearby Lower German Coast. Descendants of Jacques-Antoine Borne, like many residents of the German Coast, moved into the Lafourche valley during the late colonial and early antebellum periods. Some of them married into Acadian families and are still found in Lafourche valley parishes today.
A French officer named Bellile was serving in Louisiana in 1766.
During the late colonial period, a French Creole family lived just upriver from New Orleans at Chapitoulas and spelled their name Bélisle and Belille, the same way the Acadian Anselme spelled his name.
A free Negro named Titon Bellille lived in New Orleans during the late 1700s.
The Le Borgne de Bélisles were true aristocrats in Acadia. One of them served as the last proprietary governor of the colony during the 1660s, and some of them held seigniorial lands at Port-Royal and in the Minas Basin. Only one member of the family came to Louisiana. Anselme Le Borgne de Bélisle of Minas was exiled to Maryland in his late teens. He married a fellow Acadian in Maryland, was counted at Annapolis in July 1763, and his first son was born there a few years later. The family came to Louisiana in 1767 and settled on the Upper Acadian Coast, where Anselme's wife died, and he remarried to another Acadian. He and his new wife settled on upper Bayou Lafourche. She gave him several daughters and at least two more sons.
After Anselme Le Borgne de Bélisle's younger sons Joseph-Anselme and Auguste died in Assumption Parish in the 1850s, the names Bélisle and Le Borgne disappear from the church records of South Louisiana. Except for its blood, then, this noble Acadian family did not survive in the Bayou State.
The family's name also is spelled Belhisle, Bélile, Béllille, Bélleisle, Béllisle, Bogne dit Bélile, Borgne, Debilile, dit Béline, Laborgne, Le Borgne, Leborgne dit Belleisle, LeBorn, LeBorne, Velila. [See also Book Ten]

|Paul LE BORGNE de BÉLISLE 02
|Jul 1767
|StG, Asc
|born Oct 1766, probably Annapolis, MD; son of Anselme LE BORGNE de BÉLISLE & his first wife Anne BABIN; in report on Acadians who settled at St.-Gabriel, 1767, called Pablo, age 9 mos., with parents; in Ascension census, 1777, right [west] bank, age 13[sic], with father, stepmother, & half-sisters; in JUDICE's Company, Acadian Coast Militia, Jul 1779, called Paul BELLISLE; in Valenzuéla census, 1788, right [west] bank, called Paulle, age 24[sic], with father, stepmother, & half-siblings; in Valenzuéla census, 1791, right [west] bank, called Pol, age 26[sic], with father, stepmother, & half-siblings; died [buried] Ascension 23 Aug 1791, "age 20[sic] years," "a bachelor," so he never married
01. Wall of Names, 10, calls him Anselme BÉLISLE; Arsenault, Généalogie, 2415, calls him Anselme BÉLISLE, probablement son of Alexandre BÉLISLE & Marie LEBLANC, says he was born c1738, & that he married Marie-Josephe DUPUIS but gives no date or place of marriage; BRDR, 3:561 (ASM-3, 123), his death/burial record, calls him Anselmo Le Borgne dit BELLISLE, "age 80 yrs., married to Maria Josefa DUPUIS," but does not give his parents' names. See also Jehn, Acadian Exiles in the Colonies, 154; Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth-Century Louisianians, 429, 432; Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 12, 22, 66, 105, 115, 154.
Why is Anselme's baptismal record not found in the Grand-Pré church records in BRDR, 1a(rev.):153, with the rest of his siblings? This is probably why Arsenault says he probablement was son of Alexandre LE BORGNE de BÉLISLE & Marie LEBLANC. However, his appearance in the census at Annapolis, MD, in Jul 1763 next to "widow BELHISLE" & 2 of her children convinces me that Anselme was her son.
Wall of Names, 10, calls his wife Anne DUPUIS. The editors of that work probably took her given name from the British record at Annapolis, which calls her Anne but gives no surname, & the 1767 Spanish report at St.-Gabriel, which calls her Ana but also gives no surname. So why do the Ascension, Assumption, & Lafourche censuses of 1777, 1788, 1791, 1795, 1797, & 1798 call Anselme's wife Marie & Marie Josèph & never Anne? I can find no Anne DUPUIS in the church records of the Baton Rouge Diocese that would fit the wife of Anselme BÉLISLE. His wife's burial record, dated 23 Dec 1831, in BRDR, 5(rev.):222 (ASM-3, 223), calls her Marie Josèph DUPUY, "age 92 yrs., widow of Aceneu de Belle-Isle (sic) (his correct name is Anselmo LEBORGNE dit BÉLLEISLE ...)," says she was daughter of Joseph DUPUY & Marie LEBLANC, & that she died "the 22nd" & was buried the next day. (Actually, Marie-Josèphe DUPUIS's mother's name was Élisabeth LEBLANC; Anselme's mother was Marie LEBLANC, so the priest was confused here.) The age given for Anne ____ in the Spanish report of 1767 conforms to the ages given for Marie-Josèphe DUPUIS in the Lafourche census of 1798 & her burial record. However, the baptismal record for Marie-Josèphe DUPUIS, daughter of Joseph DUPUIS & Élisabeth, not Marie, LEBLANC, in BRDR, 1a(rev.):70 (SGA-3, 15a), says she was born in late Jun 1742, not in 1739. The census records at Ascension in 1777 & 1791, & at Assumption in 1795 & 1797, nail her age precisely. So I am convinced that we are dealing with 2 different women here, one born in c1739, surname unknown, the other in 1742, named Marie-Josèphe DUPUIS, not Anne. See also Arsenault, p. 1161, the profile of Marie-Josèphe DUPUIS's parents.
A descendant of Anselme LE BORGNE de BÉLISLE has, to my satisfaction, solved the mystery of his first wife's name. Louise H. Jeter writes to the author in an e-message dated 4 Jun 2010:"I am writing concerning Anselme LeBorgne dit BELISLE's first wife. The mysterious "Anne" of Maryland, mother of Paul (who is so much older than the children of the second wife, my ancestor) intrigued and worried me. But I think I have identified her and want to share the information with you."She was Anne BABIN, daughter of Paul BABIN and Marie LANDRY (or LEBLANC). I first figured this out forty years ago when I was living in Baton Rouge and making regular (weekly) trips down the bayous and/or river to the various courthouses that contained my ancestors' records. As I searched in Ascension Parish, I found references to Enselme BELISLE being the brother-in-law of members of the BABIN family. I was young and inexperienced then and it was some time before I recognized that this was my Anselme and that his wife must have been a BABIN. [Sydney Marchand arrived at the same conclusion in his An Attempt to Re-Assemble the Old Settlers in Family Groups, p. 10, when he said, 'Enselm BELISLE appears to have married a daughter of Paul BABIN and Marie LANDRY' ...]"
Mrs. Jeter then offers the following evidence to support her conclusion:"Marriage Contract - 8 April 1768 (this marriage contract drawn-up in St. James parish) - groom: Efraine BABIN, son of Paul BABIN and Marie LEBLANC; brother-in-law of the groom: Enselme BELISLE (Ascension Parish Courthouse, Donaldsonville, La, Book Q, p. 697)."Marriage Contract - 9 Jan 1772 - Bride: Bridget BABIN, daughter of Paul BABIN and Marie LEBLANC; brother-in-law of the bride: Enselme BELISLE (Ascension Parish Courthouse, Donaldsonville, La, Book Q, p. 157)."Paul BABIN was deceased by 7 Jul 1763 when the Census was taken in Maryland but his widow is listed in Oxford, Maryland with some of her children including the Brigite and Efraine whose marriage contracts are referenced above."Later, when the New Orleans Diocese books became available, my Mom found a son for Anselme BELISLE and Anne BABIN, christened in Louisiana. This was Pierre Jacques BELISLE, born and christened 8 Aug 1767, recorded at St. Louis Cathedral, New Orleans, La (Book 6, p. 3) in Sacramental Records of the Roman Catholic Church of the Archdiocese of New Orleans, Vol. 2, 1751-1771, p. 247."I don't find any other records about this child or about Anne BABIN. She may have died in childbirth - clearly died by about 1770 when Anselme married Marie Josèphe DUPUIS. The baby is not on the 1777 Census (and Paul is) so he died young."I feel like I have 'found' Anne and I hope you will add her information to your website so that others can know her, too. Please feel free to correct my notes and conclusions..... I only offer this as a suggestion as to who she is."
I have nothing to correct here. Mrs. Jeter's excellent research has identified not only Anselme BELISLE's first wife's surname but also another Acadian immigrant to LA--their son Pierre-Jacques, who reached the colony in utero.
02. Wall of Names, 10, calls him Paul BÉLISLE; BRDR, 2:70 (ASC-4, 9), his death/burial record, calls him Pablo BÉLISLE, age 20 years & a bachelor, but does not give his parents' names. See also Voorhies, J., Some Late Eighteenth-Century Louisianians, 432; Robichaux, Bayou Lafourche, 1770-98, 12, 22, 154.
His estimated birth year is from the Spanish report of 1767, which differs from the Ascension census of 1777 & the Lafourche census of 1788. See Robichaux, p. 154.

We've all seen them. End tables, peg racks, headboards…all with little heart cut into them. Very country, very primitive, and also very dated. Not everyone's cup of tea, and certainly not ours. Hearts have their place and it's not on our furniture! We come across pieces like this quite often, and they're usually pretty well made and sturdy. So we've found an ingenious way to salvage and update unloved heart furniture. Enter Efex for the great cover up.
Here's what we started with. A boring brown wood wall shelf with an offending heart cutout on the top.
Eek. Not something we could just hang on the wall without some sort of facelift. We had to find some way to cover up that little heart.
The great thing about working with Efex moldings; other than they're bendable, trimable with scissors, and can be painted and/or stained; is the sheer variety of designs and styles you can create with them. We tried out a few different designs before settling on a style. The large R88 molding above provided a pretty neutral cover up. Depending on how we painted it it could look French, Scandinavian, country, or modern.
Of course we had to try a coastal design with CC11 and CC12 shells, we are on the coast of Maine after all! This would have looked beachy in Louis Blue with Old White dry brushed on the shells and a little distressing around the edges.
Ooh la la! Very French indeed! This large shell rosette, R78, paired with a pair of SC14 scrolls brings the shelf to a whole new level. Definitely a statement piece now!
After trying out all the different styles and designs we decided this shelf wanted to be a happy country shelf, so we dug into the Country Collection of Efex.
This CT12 country branch with fruit was perfect! Lots of great detail, and big enough to cover up the heart cut out. Now the shelf had a direction, country/cottage style, it needed a coat of paint. To stay with the country look we chose Mustard Seed Yellow Milk Paint and crossed our fingers that we'd get some of that chippy goodness!
We weren't disappointed, just the right amount of chipping! From drab and dated to cute and country in an afternoon.

Software aging lothario Microsoft is mulling if it is worthwhile moving to a younger sexier subscription-based model.
At the recent Credit Suisse Technology Conference last week, Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner was speaking to investors about the fact that Microsoft is interested in exploring new monetisation methods for its Windows line of products. The company might adopt a new pricing model for the upcoming operating system, as it looks to shift away from the one-time initial purchase to an ongoing-revenue basis.
When asked if Microsoft was going to start losing money on Windows, Turner said that we Microsoft had to monetise the software differently and link it to services.
"There are additional opportunities for us to bring additional services to the product and do it in a creative way. And through the course of the summer and spring we'll be announcing what that business model looks like. At the same time it's wonderful to see these nine-inch and below devices explode, because that was an area, candidly, I was blocked out and I had no share of what was getting built. So it's a very fascinating transition for us," he said.
It looks like Microsoft will be ruminating over its new cunning plan through the long winter nights and plan what a new Windows business model will look like. This could mean that Nadella and his team has already decided which path to take.
There have been previous rumours that have already pointed toward the creation of Windows subscriptions. What is crucial is the price and the frequency of upgrade cycles.
Windows 10, which is already promoted by Microsoft as 'one Cloud OS', will be the first to fall under this new pricing scheme. Microsoft also needs to lure in hundreds of millions of Windows 7 and Windows XP users who did not perceive Windows 8 and 8.1 as good.
Microsoft has made its Microsoft Office products available for free to mobile users on iOS and Android.

I have so appreciated your ideas and was wondering, if you find any great Christmas arrangements that you just love, will you let us know?
With our Christmas Recital coming up later this week, Christmas music is definitely on my mind! Here are some of the favorites on our program this year:
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear by Melody Bober – a gorgeous intermediate level arrangement!
Christmas Traditions by Phillip Keveren – this whole book is a gem! This is a great collection of musical arrangements at an elementary level, and many of them are perfect rote teaching pieces. One of my favorites for this is the Go, Tell it On the Mountain arrangement.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Andy Fling – a fun, simple arrangement of this favorite Christmas classic.
In Christ Alone by Natalie Wickham – 🙂 A couple of my students requested a duet for the recital, and after considerable searching I thought it would be fun to see if they could pull together this duet that I arranged several years ago for another student.
Several of my students have written their own arrangements this year, and they are absolutely amazing! I'm so excited to share them with you all sometime after Thursday. 🙂 I won't be able to live stream the Christmas recital this year, but I'm hoping to get it posted to YouTube like we did with last year's.
If you have any favorite Christmas selections in your studio, please share! It's always fun to find out about other great arrangements to add to the list of possibilities.
Remember, if you have a question you'd like to contribute to next week's Monday Mailbag, leave it in the comments below or send me an e-mail sometime this week with Monday Mailbag in the subject line!

When you look at the likes of Roger Federer or Maria Sharapova, you might get the idea that professional tennis is the home of the rich and famous. The truth is, only the top players on both the men and women's pro tours have millions in yearly income. Even with endorsement deals and sponsors, players in the lower ranks earn a fraction of those in the top 10. Adding to the financial burden are the high travel costs that are associated with playing in tournaments around the world.
Average Salary
Tennis.com reports that as of June 25, 2012, the year-to-date median salary for a male tennis player in the top 100 rankings was $305,345, held by Sam Quarrey. Rafael Nadal topped the list by earning $4,961,419. Ranked at number 100 is Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi, who earned $167,366 in the first six months of 2012. The median income for the top 100 ranked women during the same time period is $249,682, which was earned by Simona Halep, according to Tennis.com. Victoria Azarenka was the top earner with $4,633,237. At number 100 is Anne Keothavong, with $112,566.
Difference in Income
As much as any sport, tennis rewards those with the most talent and best results. Tennis players win prize money based on how they do at individual tournaments. This prize money varies from tournament to tournament. The top-echelon players who regularly reach the quarterfinals, semifinals or finals of tournaments will yield the highest income. That's because the further you advance in a tournament, the more money you make. Players who get bounced out early in tournaments often don't earn enough to cover their expenses.
Along with prize money, many professional tennis players get paid to endorse products, which can greatly increase their incomes. Maria Sharapova, for example, has an endorsement deal with Nike worth around $70 million, according to Sports Illustrated. Along with appearances and merchandising opportunities, Sharapova is designing her own clothing line, which is sold under the Nike label. She also endores products by Tiffany & Co., Cole Haan and TAG Heuer. Sharapova was the highest paid female athlete from 2004 through 2011, according to Forbes.com. She earned about $25 million during a 12-month period ending in August 2011.
The average annual cost of playing on the men and women's pro tours is $143,000, according to the USTA. Along with extensive travel expenses, players must pay a salary and travel expenses for coaches. This expense alone comes to about at $70,000 per year on average. Additionally, many players require personal trainers to keep them in top physical shape. Mental trainers are also used to teach players mental strength tactics, which are utilized during matches. Omitted from the list of expenses are clothing, shoes and tennis equipment, which are often provided by sponsors. Each of these expenses cuts into the income of pro tennis players.

Brooke Mueller Supports Charlie Sheenby Mischalova at . Comments
Cat fight alert!
Charlie Sheen's fiancee is not sitting back and letting Charlie Sheen's ex-wife tear the actor to pieces. We wonder how Charlie Sheen's former prostitute friends feel about this.
Regardless, Brooke Mueller has come out in support of her soon-to-be husband, bashing Denise Richards for her recent claims, which included saying the new couple announced its engagement purely to make celebrity news headlines.
"It's a shame that Denise conveniently edited my e-mail correspondence to serve her own interests," Mueller said to People magazine. "She would be both mortified and embarrassed if I released any one of her 40 e-mails to me. But she knows my character and humanity and knows that I would ever do such a thing."
Mueller denounces Richards' accusation of Sheen's "inappropriate behavior ... and conduct" including "his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts."
"Denise's claims are laughable at best," said Brooke. "How would she know? She hasn't lived with Charlie for over two years. But this is a battle we will fight in court, not in the press."
Even if Sheen is guilty of a bit of Web surfing, who among us isn't? And is there really anything so bad about checking out Megan Fox nude online?
The actress is far from unattractive.

So it is difficult to match up my release with what tresys is releasing.Hello,Due to an SELinux bug I reported in August, I've been tyring to understand the selinux-policy packages to see how they're built. I understand the principle of taking the upstream refpolicy, modifying it and building the Fedora-specific packages. However, I'm struggling to see where the refpolicy is coming from.For example, as I write this, the latest FC6 selinux-policy package pushed to the repositories is 2.4.6-1. According to the "sources" file in CVS, this package is built using serefpolicy-2.4.6.tgz. If I get serefpolicy-2.4.6.tgz from the lookaside repository then the VERSION file in it says 20061018. However, the contents of serefpolicy-2.4.6.tgz differ a great deal from the "official" 20061018 version of the reference policy from Tresys.I could understand it if the Fedora selinux-policy packages were directly based on the 20061018 version of the refpolicy from Tresys, but there seems to be an intermediate stage of development that produces the serefpolicy-2.x.x.tgz files in the lookaside repository.My question is: is there a CVS repository somewhere for a "Fedora reference policy", that is used to build all these serefpolicy files?

The Perfect Groom Part 1

Special to The Post
These days, I almost felt sorry for Ashok. Ever since my mother-in-law arrived, all that she had done was cook for him and he had no choice but to eat.
"Just one more puri. Try this chutney. Nithya bring that tomato chutney for him to taste."
Ashok made a face and waited patiently while I searched through the bottles of chutney and pickles that she brought with her from India. Dripping in oil, the chutney bottle was swaddled in two aavin plastic covers. I took out a spoon and put some chutney in his plate.
"Today I am making usili, kadamba sambar, applam and lime rasam. All your favorites. You must come home for dinner today."
I knew that he wouldn't come home any sooner than eleven. He had been escaping to office earlier than usual every day and returning late at night. With his temper at an all-time high, it was difficult to be with him, let alone talk to him.
My situation was far worse. This time around, her visit to the US was undertaken solely to check whether we were leading a normal married life or not. The second purpose was to give me more gyan about how to become pregnant and how I was ruining Ashok's life by not becoming pregnant immediately.
As to the first, there was no problem in pretending that we were a normal married couple. Ashok was rarely home in any case. The only awkwardness was when we had to sleep together in the same bed. Thankfully, the bed was very big and I slept in one corner and he on the other. And thanks to Diana, I had four to five hours of respite from home during the day.
While I was clearing the breakfast items, she started off on her pet project.
"Last month, I ran into that girl Deepa whom we had seen for Ashok. She got married two months ago and she is pregnant already. God knows what sins I have committed to be saddled with a daughter-in-law like you. Next month when I go back to India you are coming with me and we are getting a check-up done. If there is a problem with you then I must find out. My friend's sambandi is a gynecologist. She is also a very good doctor. We need to do a scan and find out whether there is a problem…"
I resolutely refused to look towards her or even to react to her statements. But I could feel her eyes on my stomach.
I tried to talk to Ashok about the impending medical test that she might force me to have. I told him while we were in bed.
"Ashok, I need to talk to you about something."
"Your mother is pestering me to get a medical check-up done. I have given her many reasons why we don't want kids right now. She is not listening. Can you speak to her and tell her that for the next two years you don't want kids?"
"It's just a medical check-up. What are you scared of? Why are you pestering me? I don't want to talk to her about this. Just leave me alone."
I bit my lip to fight back the tears but they just rolled down. I felt trapped in a situation where the walls were closing on me from all directions.
"You don't understand Ashok. Please try to understand…I…"
He tore at his hair and screamed, "Oh God! I am going to kill that guy the minute I land in India next time. He sent her here deliberately to mess with my life. Okay, I will talk to her." He turned away to sleep.
