Go For It: Graphic Wallpaper in the Bathroom
Let's be honest, the bathroom isn't necessarily the most serious room in the home. Often times, especially with old buildings and small apartments, bathrooms are left in strange, windowless configurations or with toilets shoved in small nooks. Why not embrace your bathroom's offbeat constitution and let its freak flag fly with some bold and graphic wallpaper?
I love the idea of using bathroom decor as a place to get a little mischievious and unconventional. If you aren't looking for a major overhaul, adding something brazen to the walls is an easy way to make an impact and even distract the eye from unsightly features you may not be able to do anything about.
These ten images, pulled from homes and hotels around the web, are great examples of how to turn your bathoom into a fun and fearless space by keeping the walls visually stimulating.

I love wallpaper in a little powder room, but when there's the humidity from a shower, I'm dubious. A commercial-grade vinyl wallpaper would be fine, but most residential grade papers will show problems in a couple years.
Though more costly, I'd rather get bold pattern from a tile design or artwork than from wallpaper.
When I was a teenager, my parents let me wallpaper the tiny guest toilet in a jungle wallpaper - huge leaves in shades of medium to dark green and, iirc, some little orange monkeys. I loved it.
It was probably my most favorite decorating project ever. It had nothing to do with taste and everything to do with having fun. Sometimes I wonder what I would do, if I decorated with the same abandon now.
That's why I always enjoy seeing pieces like this.
LOVE number 6; number 7 makes me feel nervous :)
Dammit! more wallpaper to tease me with.
I really dig the idea of doing a small guest powder room with vibrant wallpaper!
It seems wallpapers become popular as in kitchens as in bathrooms. I'm seeing a lot of posts about them lately. For example here are some more bathrooms with wallpapers on walls.
Um...most of these are horrible and look really dated.

Between last year's campout (18 days) and this one (8 days), we have had numerous reactions to the length of time we are willing to wait in line. Some of the more popular reactions are:
"Wow, good for you! I couldn't do it."
"This is so stupid."
"That's awesome! I wish I could join."
"That is ridiculous and you need to get a life."
"Apple sheeple, bow to the church of Apple."
"You must have a lot of time on your hands."
"Do you not have jobs?"
"You should have just preordered!"
Some would just take photos…and then quickly try to hide the camera and pretend they weren't when they saw us looking. Smooth move, ex-lax.
But the most common word we hear is simply: CRAZY. "You guys are crazy."
To them I say, maybe we are, but that's not always a bad thing! I think we have been called crazy in every language, including sign language, and looking back I wish I'd put a quarter in a jar every time I heard that…I could buy an extra iPhone! 64 gigs with Apple Care Plus and accessories! My favorite still has to be the person who called us "nuttier than squirrel poop" last year on MacRumors forums. And as i responded before, at least we don't go around inspecting squirrel poop.
But is waiting in a line really quite as crazy as people seem to think? I think I can think of a few things that are even crazier, and here is a very small sampling. Feel free to disagree.
TEN THINGS I FIND CRAZIER THAN WAITING A WEEK OR MORE IN LINE FOR AN iPHONE:
Paying $100,000 for an iPhone case is not just crazy, but batshit nuts. This case had better double as a teleportation device, time machine, private jet, and robotic maid that does my laundry and makes my coffee. Hazelnut. With 2 Sweet N Lows and 2 Equals. And yes, I am aware that they are totally artificial and nasty. Deliciously nasty.
I never understood how anyone could just throw the garbage on the ground when there are garbage cans all over. There is no excuse whatsoever for littering, and I have no patience for it when I see it. How can people be so disrespectful to the planet we all live on? It's just an assholian thing to do…and yes, I really wanted an excuse to use the word assholian. One day I saw a guy go down an escalator, walk out the door and around the corner, just to throw throw an empty cigarette pack on the ground (five feet away from a trash can), then turn around and walk away. I feel myself getting irritated, so before turning into the Hulk, I should also mention that I recently saw another guy actually stop and turn around when he tried to throw his garbage in the trash can and missed. His friend said, "Hey it wouldn't be the first time someone has left trash on the ground in NYC", but he replied that he didn't care, and went back to pick it up and throw it away. Hulk transformation intercepted by awesomeness.
Why is this even a thing? It's not even the content, necessarily, but the fact that TLC is taking a child and telling the world to laugh at her. Most kids are a little kooky, some more than others, but setting a kid up to be the butt of jokes (face it, she will probably still be trying to live this down when she is 45 and a nuclear physicist) for the entertainment of the percentage of the population that prefers reality tv to actual reality is kind of sick, if you think about it.
Honey badger don't care, it's pretty badass. It's just crazy.
Seriously, if you live in this country and are eligible to use the right that gives you even a tiny say in the outcome of an election, but refrain from actually voting, then I don't want to hear you whining about the state of our country. It doesn't matter which side you are on, vote if you can…and once you do that, you can bitch all you want.
Recently, it seems middle age to elderly male politicians have been trying to take control of women's health issues, including wanting to ban or limit access to birth control, and expecting it to have positive results. Well, there will be plenty of positive results, in the form of plus signs on the end of the little sticks that will suddenly be sold out from all the local drug stores. Hey, I'm voting, therefore I can bitch.
But, since we have been labeled "early adopters" based on camping out for products before release, I NEED to ask…who wants to camp out for these? G.O.B. Tampons!
Soon, the Hershey's cows that give chocolate milk will be a reality, and when you order your beef rare, there will be high fructose corn syrup oozing out instead of blood. Truth.
This is brilliant, the best science lesson ever. How does he not have more views?
Seriously, what is with the constant judgement? I'm not talking about us. I am extremely hard to offend, so when we get flamed online for doing something like this, I am more likely to laugh about it than get all pissy. Fair is fair…when you do something like this, you set yourself up for negative comments. It's all good, I can dish it and I can take it.
I'm talking about actual prejudice, which apparently still exists. o_O If you can put a person down based on race, class, gender, sexuality, or appearance, then your opinion on anything "crazy" someone else does is kind of negated, because THAT is crazier than almost anything I can think of.
You are going to sit there and complain that you are bored? I see it all the time, and I just don't understand. If you live somewhere like New York, how can you be bored? It's not even possible. But no matter where you live, you can always do SOMETHING. One particular example: people tell me on a regular basis, "I wish I could move to New York!" I always tell them they CAN. They usually quote money as the prohibitive factor, and say once they save enough they will move. I'll tell you, if you wait to move to NYC until you have enough money, you'll never get there, because nobody has enough money to move to NYC. What I did was decide to make it work in spite of money issues, hopped a bus, and relied on Craigslist for a long time…and I didn't even have to use the adult section, imagine that!!! I've been through a lot of crap in my life, but at the risk of sounding like a cliche, it made me stronger. I eventually realized that life doesn't wait for you or anyone. The day I decided to have no regrets and not let other people's opinions dictate my owns thoughts and actions was one of the most freeing of my life, and as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, sometimes doing something a little (or a lot) crazy is the best way to embrace life.

December Euro Currencies Futures: Trading Idea September 19, 2014
December Euro Currency Futures a Selling Opportunity on More Price Weakness
See on the daily bar chart for the December Euro currency that prices remain in a solid downtrend and this week hit a contract low. The bears remain in firm command. A move below chart support at this week's low of 1.2843 would become a selling opportunity. The downside price objective would be 1.2450 or below. Technical resistance, for which to place a protective buy stop just above, is located at 1.3000.
What Does Fed Action Mean For Long-Term Rates?
Here we go again. Hand-wringing over the Fed's tightening schedule has caused a sell-off in bonds and all things income related.

So basically the 49ers Seahawks game was flexed for no reason.
He felt that one
Bye Bye Haters
BTW, any team can beat any team in the NFL. This game could have went either way and I wouldn't have been surprised if we would have lost. Trust me, most 49er fans here don't think we're far and away the best team in the NFL.

I'm becoming a believer in Kaepernick. Impressive performance from him minus that INT where he didn't see the safety
What was Brady's DVOA and DYAR in this game? Because apparently, that's more important then winning.
Jesus, Collinsworth has a huge hard on for Kaepernick...
May have been a Superbowl preview. Had the 49ers in the NFC yet Pitt in the AFC.
"We have been watching and waiting, but I wouldn't say we intend to continue to do that. I think you watch and wait to try and assess a situation and act accordingly. It might involve more waiting. It might involve moving in one direction or another. We've done plenty of watching and waiting. If we can move in a particular direction, we might do that."

This is awesome. Looks like my Broncos are going to get the number 2 seed very likely! Meaning the Patriots have to go through Denver in the Mile High City instead of having that pivotal home field advantage in the division round game!

late at night
Guess what? I have a blog
I was just making sure that you remembered, too. I have so much to write about and my blog has been so neglected lately. I wrote every day in November, and then couldn't manage to write more than one entry in the next few months? That's pretty lame. So, what's new? Seven new feline residents, some of them kind of scary, but in a "scary, but we're hoping to tame them" kind of way. Of course, we just named one of them Pandora, so you can guess that they're not instantly cuddling in bed with us. In fact, one of them can't be touched at all…yet. Felines and disability. I finally have a court date for my disability case - May 19th. Such a relief, but so scary at the same time.
I have to get to bed now because we're probably going to Vegas in the morning, and our Vegas/doctor trips are long, long, loooooong days. But, I wanted to let you know that I hadn't forgotten about you and that I'll soon have kitty info and pictures. You'll get to meet our new three-legged pal, Willly. Three l's in Willly. We think he very recently had his leg amputated because he's not very good at getting around on three legs - he seems to get tired easily, plus he keeps trying to scratch his ear with the leg that's missing. It's sad to watch, so I try to scratch his ear for him, but I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job on it. I think you'll like Willly - he's a nice boy and has fascinating eyes that have pigment eyeliner all around the rims of his eyes. They're cool and spooky at the same time.
Gotta go, but see you soon.

Update - I responded to that PayPal email with, "Could you just answer my question?" I expected another canned unhelpful response, but to my surprise, a few days later, I received a phone call letting me know that my transposed address numbers had been corrected in my account. Yay! So, thanks for helping the second time around, PayPal. It was much appreciated, although it would've been easier (but not blog material), if someone would've read and answered my first email. However, I'm happy with the resolution, so I'll hang on to that as my latest PayPal experience. You guys are still in the hole for the year, but maybe it can be fixed soon. I want to like you, really, I do.

the wee hours
What's Worse Than Waking Up With a Black Eye?
Waking up with a flat tire. And, a forecast of rain all week. Oh, and running out of toilet paper. The black eye was a surprise because I tripped over the cords next to the bed a week or so ago and hit my head on the little mobile desk where I put my laptop, my iPod, and my new little Dell Axim PDA (that doesn't work as a PDA - all its functions are shut off, except for the clinical trial diary that only allows me to click yes or no and send), so I figured the black eye wouldn't show up. It's funny, because I always worry about one of the dogs tripping on the cords and yanking my laptop off the desk and breaking it. Instead, I did it, but because I was so worried about not tripping and falling on the dogs or breaking my laptop, my forehead took the biggest blow. Better me than the laptop. When I woke up this morning, my eye was red and swollen halfway shut. I thought it was allergies or pink eye or something, but the swelling went down right away, but my eyelid stayed purple. It was like magenta eyeshadow. My forehead has a nice little lump, but it was so far above my eye that I had no idea that I'd get a black eye from it. Er, a purple eye. My forehead doesn't even really hurt much anymore - I figured a black eye would show up when the original injury still hurt.
The tire that I had to fill up a week or two ago in the freezing freezing night air apparently decided that it had had enough. It just went completely flat. I got to figure out how to get the teeny spare out from under the car, get the jack out of its cute little hiding place, then use up all the energy and strength I had to get the lug nuts off the flat. It's time they invented a better way of putting a tire on a car. I was just barely strong enough to get the lug nuts off, and if they'd been even a tiny smidgen tighter, I would've had to ask one of the manly neighbors for help. I shouldn't have to ask for help when changing a tire. There should be some little lock that when undone, makes the lug nuts fly off the wheel. Okay, not fly off, but come off easily. I'm going to be sore for at least a week from just changing one tire, and it's just a temporary fix since it's one of those crappy little half tires. Fun. Oh yeah, and I had to rush to change the tire in between bursts of rain. I miss my AAA membership. I miss having decent tires more though, I guess.
The silver lining in all this is…at least I have my pain meds back, so my tire changing pain will be kept to a dull roar. No, wait, the silver lining was that I was able to change the tire without any help from anyone. Sure, I'm going to pay for it physically, but psychologically, it was nice to be able to do it. I think I've only changed (or attempted to change) one tire before and I had a AAA membership, so when I couldn't get all the lug nuts off, the nice man with the tow truck did it for me. I like knowing that I can do it, if I have to, but I'd rather watch someone else change my tires…especially when it's cold and damp outside.
Now, to get some sleep, because the toilet paper isn't going to buy itself. You know one thing I miss about Vegas? Grocery stores that deliver. That was handy. Also, stores within a block of the house, which was also handy. If I had car problems in Vegas, I could walk to the store easily. Here, not only isn't here any public transportation (there wasn't near the house in Vegas either), but there's nothing within walking distance. The closest "convenience" store is 3.5 miles away, and if I'm going that far, I may as well go the 5 miles to Walmart or Smith's and pay a quarter of the price. I know that 5 miles doesn't seem all that far away, but when you're used to less than half a mile to a grocery store, 7-Eleven, Walgreen's, a gas station, two Starbucks, etc., 5 miles seems kind of far. Then again, I sure do like the peace and quiet here w/ the twinkling stars in the night sky. That's worth a five mile drive, to not have to hear sirens and traffic all day, every day. We've heard sirens exactly once since we moved here. Once! And the people across the street with the ten yapping dogs…they moved. Yay! So, quiet replaces convenience. Okay. Now, if the tires could stop going flat…

Lawmakers promised Thursday to investigate revelations that California's largest public pension fund has paid some salaried managers extra money for second in-house jobs, while other state departments tried to figure out if their employees have similar work arrangements.
Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, D-Los Angeles, and Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Alameda, said they were disturbed about the California Public Employees' Retirement System's "additional appointments," particularly when California's unemployment rate remains high and state workers are still taking unpaid days off each month.
"The Assembly Committee on Public Employees, Retirement and Social Security will be looking further into this matter," a joint press release said. Bonta chairs that committee.
CalPERS then released its own statement, saying it understood the concerns of the two assemblymen and that it looked forward to "explaining why this human resource tool was important to CalPERS during a unique and critical time."
State officials at several departments combed their payroll records looking for additional appointees.
Pat McConahay, spokeswoman for the California Department of Human Resources, said only that officials there are "working with CalPERS to gather data on these appointments."
The Bee reported Thursday that some CalPERS managers earning fixed salaries have made extra money at second hourly-wage jobs within the agency since June 2011.
Crushing workloads created by the launch of a complex $514 million computer system forced the fund to resort to the practice, CalPERS officials said.
In November, the latest month for which data are available, CalPERS paid about $45,000 to 50 managers in the dual-job program.
Labor experts say the policy may run afoul of federal law and circumvents the notion that salaried employees earn a set wage regardless of how long they work.
CalPERS officials said the practice is legal and suggested other departments, including the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Social Services, the state prison and parole system and the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, may have done the same.
The Bee reached officials at all four departments this week. The latter three said they would check whether they used double appointments, but none has responded.
A representative for the fourth department, the DMV, said agency officials "don't participate in a second-appointment program."
But later Thursday afternoon, the department did a U-turn.
"Our previous statement may have been premature," DMV spokesman Armando E. Botello said in an email. "We are conducting a more thorough review of our records to determine whether the situation has occurred."

Like a lot of you, for me the upcoming week is filled with meals shared with family and friends. Over a seven day stretch, we're eating at least five planned meals with people we don't get to see too often.
In all that bustle is a reminder of the people we were, the people we are, and the people we might someday become. It's just a way of reminding us of all of the things we have to be thankful for this year.
This Sunday before Thanksgiving seemed like a good time to share a few of the things I'm thankful for. I hope that as you read this, you recognize some of the things that you're thankful for in your own life, and you use it as a reminder this week (and always) of the many wonderful things we have in our lives.
I'm thankful for my family. That's an easy thing to say, of course, but it's so true.
I'm thankful for my oldest son's burgeoning wit.
I'm thankful for my daughter's smile and artistic capabilities.
I'm thankful for my youngest child's bubbly personality.
I'm thankful for my wife's constant support and positive attitude.
I'm thankful for my mother's frankness and surprising wit.
I'm thankful for my father's ability to put people at ease at the drop of a hat.
I'm thankful for all of these things and so much more.
I'm thankful that I was born in a society where most of my basic needs are met and with enough health that I can enjoy a productive life.
I'm thankful for the wonderful world we have to share, with its amazing beauty and depth. It's a gift that we all have to share, regardless of what we each choose to believe. I'm thankful for whatever made this world, though the nature of that entity is beyond my understanding.
I'm thankful that I have people in my life who I can sit down with and bounce any crazy idea off of them that I might have, and we'll just talk it through without judgments. I have friends like this who rest at every end of the political, religious, and social spectrum. Thank you, John, Ron, Melissa, Heidi, Heather, Rachel, Erin, Vicky, Brit, and many others.
I'm thankful for the people who take the time to read The Simple Dollar, and I hope that they get something of value out of it when they do.
It really is a great life. Thank you.

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is wasting no time rallying support for her effort to expand the state's Medicaid plan.
The governor used a press conference Wednesday at Maricopa Medical Center to show she has support of hospitals. They're the ones who are being asked to agree to a new bed tax to help pay the state's cost of adding about 300,000 low-income people to the plan.
Leaders of the state's Chamber of Commerce community also attended, arguing that cutting the number of uninsured in the state will lower their insurance costs.
Brewer made the surprise announcement that she would expand the state's plan known as AHCCCS (Access) on Monday.
States have an option of not signing on to the Medicaid expansions that are part of the Affordable Care Act.

Magic Mansion lived up to its name!
What a fabulous place for our vacation in Orlando. Two families, including four teens, had plenty of space to relax and play. The villa was spotless, plenty of towels and utensils etc in the kitchen. We felt at home straight away. The location was also ideal for visiting the Disney parks, only about 20 minutes drive away with a good choice of restaurants on the way. A very quiet residential area. Special mention to Lisa, the property manager who gave us some great advice about our rental car when we had a problem with it and followed up the call to make sure all was well.
This place made our vaca the bomb!!!
This property is absolutely amazing. It sits back in a nice and quite neighborhood...we changed the fun level when we arrived!! We had a Disney trip planned with a family of friends from Jersey and we were all impressed. Our stay was so amazing, we wanted to stay longer. Everything was as it looked in the photos and better (flat screens in all rooms). Each room was comfortable and had towels and everything we all needed. The kids had Disney in the day and the house with pool and game room the rest of the evening so this vacation was spot on. We had one issue with a light bulb being out and a fire alarm that needed the battery changed and when my husband called the management office, no one answered so he left a message. WIthin an hour, somoene just showed up to the house, changed out everything in like 5 minutes flat. Superb service!! Disney was about a 15-20 minute ride away which was awesome. Walmart (beware, this place is chaotic even at midnight!!) was about 10 minutes away with other grocery stores/small shopping centers along the route. There were restaurants and a Walgreens and everything you could need nearby. So great house, great location, great service, great stay!! Bottom line is we were extremely comfortable and will absolutely stay here again.
This vacation home was perfect..
This home was ideal for a Disney vacation..you only had a short 20 minute drive to all parks..6 minutes from Wal-Mart.. the home itself is very spacious plenty of room..the pool was fantastic especially after a long day at the parks...my family will definitely stay at this home again on our next Florida vacation..thanks again for letting us stay at your beautiful home..

Love chocolate but hate what it does to your waist line? Try this decadent flavor to get your fix! Be wrapped up by a warm, rich milk chocolaty cloud with mellow notes of dark bitter cocoa. This sinful treat will gratify anyone's cravings, while the aroma will leave you feeling like you've just walked into a chocolate factory.

Like i've seen in other reviews, it tastes like hot cocoa or cocoa puffs. (that would make a fun name for this flavor, Cocoa puff haha) I'm not really a fan of the fact that the smell isn't as distinct and bold as the other flavors i've tried. It loses a second star with me because sometimes i feel like there's no flavor at all. it gains back a star for being the smoothest flavor i've tried so far (i've had vanilla, grape, Prem. tobacco, and this). I usually do 16mg but i think i could handle 24mg of this.

Definitely among my favorites. Not very sweet, but kind of like Coco Puffs. Very good.
21st Jan 2013
I didnt think i would like a "flavored" cig...but these actually satisfy me way more then the tobacco flavored cartridges.Stronger vapor,great flavor..i dig em!
Like flavored cigarettes
28th Jun 2012
I was upset when flavored cigarettes got banned. I used to be clove smoker. I tried Clove flavored electronic cigarette, but I didn't like it this much. Then I decided to try other flavors buying variety pack and the chocolate flavor was amazing to me. That is my new flavor and I will be puffing away when I'm out and about.

#3 Prospect Winter 2008: Theo Peckham
Current Rank: #3
Summer 2008 Rank: #3
I'm fairly certain Theo Peckham is going to surprise people. Bob Stauffer can't say "Theo Peckham" without adding "might be a good 5-6D someday" and that kind of comment obscures the fact that the kid continues to develop.
Theo Peckham turned 21 about one month ago and has played 75 AHL games and had a couple cups of coffee in the show. His improvement since turning pro has been nothing short of amazing.
In his rookie season (Peckham was 19 when he turned pro) in Springfield he played in 59 games, scoring 6-7-13 and 174pims and a -14. 2 of his goals came on the powerplay and his minus 14 came on a team that was -29 overall (I can't find shorthanded goals for and against so that number is a little off) in the 07-08 season.
This year, Peckham is getting powerplay time and delivering. But it's more than that. His numbers (16gp, 4-6-10 +3) are an improvement and he's having an impact in all areas. His plus +3 comes on a team that is 35-30 (+5) at EVs this season. He's also playing against tougher competition (based on reports and scoresheet) this season.
Springfield coach Jeff Truitt: "Theo's still a young player, but he shows a well-rounded game. He's physical, a guy his team can count on. He's relied upon for penalty-killing and the power play. On the power play, he has a knack for getting a shot through traffic."
Peckham: "I know my role (on the power play). Either shoot the puck or be a distraction (to the defensive team). The coaches have been working with me, teaching me to take my time and not go at the net every time I get the puck."
Year over year (through 16 gp) we can see that Peckham is in fact improving:
- 07-08 Peckham at EVs: 2-1-3
- 08-09 Peckham at EVs: 2-4-6
- 07-08 Peckham on PP: 1-1-2
- 08-09 Peckham on PP: 2-2-4
Peckham's indicators are all positive. This comes on the heels of an 07-08 season in which the organization took notice. Again, Prendergast: "The guy who's come the furthest is Theo. He brought every element of his game that we drafted him for; the toughness, the ability to clear the front of the net and he's advanced his game in being able to carry the puck and jump in the play, his gap control is very good and he's a team-orientated player."
Bob Stauffer may be right: Theo Peckham may end up being a 5-6D in the NHL. I think there's growing evidence that he might be more than that and I also believe Peckham is close to being recalled to the show for good. He's a quality prospect, you could make a strong argument for Theo Peckham to be the #1 prospect in the system.

They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"Paper and print quality were perfectly acceptable, but not remarkably good. Design of course is beautiful, absolutely lovely, not to mention a multi-generational people-pleaser! My grandmother said it was the most beautiful wedding invitation she'd ever seen, and I'm inclined to agree. Customer service was extremely competent, prompt, and obliging, I can't say that enough. We had several changes made, and they were all completed within hours of our submitting the request."
"I ordered this product for my wedding, along with enclosure cards and the RSVP cards. I was completely 100% satisfied with the customer service that I received, as well as with the product. My wedding invitations are going to look absolutely gorgeous, and it's all thanks to Wedding Paper Divas. Bonus: I was a little worried about when they would get to me, but they actually got to my home a week earlier than they had told me they would. Thank you, WPD!"
"The paper quality is excellent. The reviewer worked with me several times to get the colors exactly right. I am so happy with this card and the RSVP cards as well."
"I absolutely loved the design and personalized colors. The shimmering paper gave more of a glamorous look to it and the font gave it an elegant touch. My guests loved it as well and I received a lot of compliments :-)"

He was a driving force behind the open-government agenda and contributed to President Barack Obama's Open Government Memorandum. The memo ultimately led to OMB's Open Government Directive.
Chenok also advised key government officials, and his insights on government IT were important to how the Obama administration worked on its reforms.

Area police are warning residents to be careful when opening their doors to solicitors, even if those people are wearing official-looking clothing or logos.
In her post on the Pittsburgh Police Community Safety website Tuesday, Officer Janine Davis said she received an email from a Lawrenceville resident stating that people from a company called Just Energy were going door to door, asking to see residents' Duquesne Light electric bills.
Residents were told that their home address and Duquesne Light account number were needed to ensure that they received a rebate from the Duquesne Light company, according to the report on the community safety website.
She indicated in her post that similar incidents could be happening in other local neighborhoods. Residents in and Mt. Lebanon also have complained of the issue.
Joseph Vallarian, Manager of Media and Community Relations for Duquesne Light, said the people going door to door are in no way affiliated with Duquesne Light.
"We are not affiliated with any other company," Vallarian said. "We do not go door to door. Duquesne Light does not do telemarketing."
Vallarian said that Duquesne Light is not affiliated with, nor does it endorse, any other company contacting residents in regard to their electric bill. Additionally, he said that Duquesne Light does not share customers' phone numbers or account information with other companies. Should a Duquesne Light employee be called to a customer's home, all Duquesne Light employees carry photo identification issued by the company, he said.
Columbia Gas is also warning its customers of an "Obama Energy Credit" scam. Callers attempt to elicit personal information and account numbers through a bogus offer, but the company says there is no such "energy credit" available and customers are advised to be wary of anyone claiming to represent a utility company asking for personal information and account numbers.
Pittsburgh police posted the following tips on the community safety website for dealing with door-to-door solicitors:
- Do not open your door for unsolicited services.
- If they look official, ask for identification.
- Do not allow them into you home for no reason.
- If you have any concerns call 911.

Visible Theft Detection Powder, Choose a Color
Visible Theft Detection Powder is applied to a surface such as a doorknob or a valuable object. It is applied lightly with a brush. When your thief touches the object, the powder reacts with the natural moisture on the hand, causing it to turn a brilliant color. This difficult to remove stain easily identifies your thief.
Choose from many color options. Pick a powder color to match the surface where it will be applied. Powders start as one color and once activated by human perspiration or moisture, they stain as another color. An example is copper colored powder that turns orange after being touched.
Use the pulldown menu to add a soft goat hair brush for $5. Only one brush will be added regardless of how many powders are ordered.

A Knox man was arrested on child molestation charges on Monday.
Steven L. O'Bryant, 43, was taken into custody by the Fort Wayne Police Department and transported to the Starke County Jail awaiting arraignment.
The charges stem from a complaint received by the Knox Police Department on July 8, 2012 from a victim, a juvenile, who reported that he was molested over a two-week period while O'Bryant lived in his home.
O'Bryant is charged with four counts of child molesting, all filed as class A-felonies.
This case is being investigated by the Knox Police Department.

During the practice, your brain functions with significantly greater coherence and your body gains deep rest.

Over 350 scientific studies have found that twice-daily practice of TM results in benefits such as:

"It's a wonderful change."
"Aging forces us to make changes," admits Evelyn Srigley.
"I was getting to the point where I didn't want to climb ladders to clean the gutters anymore," says her husband Burns. Snow shoveling had become a challenging task, too.
"Plus," Evelyn remembers, "We were starting to feel more and more isolated where we lived."
Most of the houses around them were rentals. Vacationers came and went with the seasons, and these visitors had no time or interest in getting to know the "year-round" folks.
And, although the Srigleys loved their home and its natural, rural setting, they frequently needed to go into town for shopping and appointments, and that meant a 30-mile roundtrip each time. "It became pretty tiresome," they both agree.
"We experience change almost on a daily basis"
There's something in our very nature that loves the way things have always been. There's a sense of safety in the status quo—sometimes a false sense of safety. Fortunately, small warnings often come along to help us make changes that are better for us in the long run.
For the Srigleys, it was getting caught on a mountain pass in the middle of a white-out, a snowstorm that no one ever hopes to get caught in. They got home safely, but the event made them realize how much they really didn't like driving in the snow anymore or being isolated from others. So they began looking around for other housing options.
"We decided we wanted to find something in between our home and an apartment," Burns says. Something like a cottage in a friendly, close-knit community.
They visited a few places but didn't find anything that interested them. Next, Burns searched on his computer, and they came across Touchmark at Mt. Bachelor Village.

Jeter likely to start season on disabled list
The news the Yankees seemed to be hinting at for the better part of a week appears to finally be ready to come true.
General manager Brian Cashman told reporters in camp on Sunday that shortstop Derek Jeter would likely start the season on the disabled list.
"I don't anticipate him starting the season," Cashman told reporters. "I can read his face, and his face today tells me the reality is starting to sink in that this disabled list situation might be necessary."
Jeter, 38, was scratched from Sunday's game after feeling more soreness in his surgically repaired left ankle. He broke the ankle last October in the ALCS against the Tigers.
Jeter had told reporters all along he planned to target Opening Day for his return, even after soreness cropped up last week. At the time, Jeter said the pain was normal, according to his doctors, and he wasn't concerned. But then last Thursday Cashman said Jeter would not play in any major league spring training games in order to back date his injury should he need to begin the season on the DL.
The last time a player other than Jeter started at shortstop for the Yankees was Luis Sojo in 2001. Jeter dealt with a similar situation that year, as he was injured in spring training, back dated and began the season on the 15-day DL.
The Jeter injury is just one in a long list of maladies the team has suffered during the spring. First baseman Mark Teixeira is out until at least June with a wrist injury. Outfielder Curtis Granderson fractured his forearm in his first fame of spring training and is out until mid-May. And third baseman Alex Rodriguez underwent hip surgery in January and will miss at least the first half of the 2013 season.
News also broke on Sunday that closer Mariano Rivera is dealing with severe migraines. The New York Post reported Rivera underwent a CAT scan and blood tests after experiencing the headaches for two weeks. Doctors diagnosed him with migraines. Cashman said the team was not worried and Rivera was scheduled to make a relief appearance on Sunday.

If you've been rooting for one of the male contestants on this season of American Idol, Nicki Minaj would tell you not to bother. Asked by reporters during a phone press conference Monday if there's any chance for a male contestant to win this season, the judge was blunt. "No," she said. "Absolutely not."
Okay, then, who does she think does have a chance to win? Nicki named her frontrunners as Kree Harrison , Candice Glover and Angie Miller and explained why. "I think that outside of their voices, they just sort of won people over already, which I think is evident in just what I see on Twitter with my fans. You know, those three seem to have really, really made an impact," Nicki said.
Speaking about her own experiences on the show, Nicki says at first, she was afraid that America would hate her for being such a straight shooter, but she was assured by the producers that viewers would appreciate her honesty. She's definitely this season's most talked-about new judge, and even viewers who had preconceived notions about her when the show began are now fans of her forthright style. Nicki told reporters that she's not surprised that people had the wrong idea about her at first, but she's grateful she's had the chance to set the record straight.
"You know, you only see videos and me being crazy and hearing little things here and there, and obviously you're not going to have any idea who I really am," she said. "I'm just happy that Idol producers gave me a shot on the show for me to be able to show who I really was, because I feel like I'm every single woman. I really don't think outside of maybe some pink wigs, that there's anything that separates me from every other woman in America. So I'm just happy I was given the opportunity."
But Nicki says that seeing and reading the reaction to her on American Idol surprised her, because things that she does that she considers completely normal are thought of as, well, crazy by most people.
"I didn't realize that maybe I am a bit strange," the rapper told reporters. "What I say to the contestants...that's really how I act, but people think it's kind of strange. Like, when I asked Kree to marry me, I didn't think that that was strange, but I guess looking back at it now, maybe no Idol judge has asked a contestant to marry them on live TV! I don't know."
So, since she's become the breakout star of American Idol season 12, is a season 13 in her future? Will Nicki be back behind the judges' table next year? She won't say.
"I think people would rather be surprised," she told reporters. "I like to save the mystery and the drama. I'd never give that away. But you know what?...the people behind the scenes at Idol have been a dream to work with, and I really, really honestly mean that."
And how would Nicki rate herself as a judge? What does she consider her best and worst moments on the show? "I don't have a worst Idol moment. I've been spectacular," she told reporters firmly. "Yes, I'm going to toot my own horn. And my best moment is every single moment. I'll toot it again."
American Idol returns on Wednesday, with the contestants singing "Songs of the Motor City," aka Detroit.

What Can I Do With a Ham Bone Left Over from Easter Dinner?
Good Questions
Q: We cooked a ham for Easter and I was lucky enough to be able to bring home the ham bone. I have no idea what to do with it! Does anyone have an suggestions on what would be tasty and not extremely difficult for me to make?
Sent by Christina
Editor: Christina, mmm that looks superb! Make a pot of Melissa Clark's delicious Ham Bone, Greens, and Bean Soup! Or throw it into a big mess of collard greens while they're cooking.
Readers, what's your favorite way to use up a ham bone?

Ham and beans or split pea soup with ham. Yummy!
Red beans and rice, New Orleans style!
My mom threw a ham bone in with a bag of Goya 16 Bean Soup Mix and it really made the dish. Plus - super easy since you're using a bag of pre-mixed beans!
Boil the ham bone with chopped up veggies of your choice and add salt to taste. It's delicious!
throw the ham bone in with a crockpot of beans for added richness.
What CAN'T you do? Split pea soup. Beans. Collards. Chili. The list goes on...
The first thing my family says after the ham is sliced is save the bone for a big pot of beans! It's just as traditional as the ham itself I think. At least in my family.
This is funny because about 45 minutes ago I just started a crock pot of split pea and ham soup (bay leaves, garlic, onions, stock, water, ham bone and a 1 lb bag of split peas) now the waiting begins!! Corn bread will accompany it later. Good luck!
BEANS. With a hambone you don't even need them fancy Rancho Gordo ones, but do go to the (small) trouble of soaking them from dry yourself. Garlic, onion, and maybe some carrot and celery with some herbs in the bottom of the pot until golden, then add beans, bone, and water to cover... simmer till tender, salt when 2/3 of the way done, pepper to taste. That's all you need - serve with buttery rice and some cornbread. Maybe greens on the side if you feel like it. Oh man... now I feel like I have to make some beans too!
pea soup.
oh man, now I need to figure out how to chop my ham bone up. So many things I want to make.
I love making pork stock with them! Delicious and easy. Then, that great flavor is imparted to all sorts of things!
Just last night I made pasta fagioli with a ham bone for the first time. It was transcendent!! My hubby and I had a very serious discussion about licking the pot.
Grab yourself a bag of Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Soup and follow the directions on the back. All you need is the soup mix, the bone and some tomatoes to make a stoopid-easy, really, really good batch of Fart Fuel.
And it freezes really really well.
Potato-asparagus soup with chunks of ham. Yummo.
thanks ya'll!!! exciting to see my post on here eeeeeeeek!
I have spent the past couple days trying to find a recipe this thing!! looks like beans are the way to go...
@jacz - you have to chop it up a certain way? Can it not just be thrown in whole?
@twowheeler - my bf is going to die when i tell him i'm cooking fart fuel for dinner. he might be sleeping on the couch!
oh gosh... forgot to proof read from all the excitement. ***y'all
I second the editor's mention of the hambone, beans, and kale soup. Simply Marvelous!
Cream of Potato & Ham Soup.
Split pea soup of course.
Ham Stock- freeze or pressure can it.
Split pea and ham soup!!! YELLOW spilt peas, not green, and plenty of carrots in there too!
I couldn't wait to get the ham bone from Easter dinner to make my yummy Split Pea Soup. The whole ham bone and some extra chunks of meat make the split pea soup delicious!
Asian rice porridge (congee). You could also use the ham bone for soup stock.
All sound amazing....I'm coming over for dinner!
Definitely ham bone soup. It's the best thing in the world. Loads of veges and split peas, just a little chicken stock, top it up with water and simmer for a few hours. Heavenly. I could eat it three times a day for the rest of my life.
Hi, I found this site because I wanted ideas on how to use the ham bone from Easter, very good suggestions. I would like to make stock and use it to make my fav. Black bean soup, any comments?

You could feel the excitement. With only a minute left in the fourth quarter of the game, the Sunset Sabers were scoreless against Woodland. But it turns out the Sabers were down, but not out.
"It made me extremely proud," said Alex Stevens.
Alex Stevens was blocking for his brother Jared, who was being wheeled onto the football field by his other brother Ryan.
Jared has cerebral palsy.
The game against Woodland became an opportunity for both coaches to teach the players that winning isn't everything.
"I would've loved to have beaten Woodland but they spanked us. But Jared proved what the big picture is all about," said Sunset Coach Clay Mayes.
The Stevens family moved from Florida to Brentwood in August. The boys are triplets. Alex was born first, then came Jared. Ryan was last. They are not identical. It's also pretty obvious that Jared has cerebral palsy. But the differences end there.
Jared lights up around his brothers, and when he wanted to play football, the coaches at Sunset helped him achieve the goal.
"It's the world of importance to us. What do you want to be when you grow up? An NFL coach. An NFL coach? You can do that, yeah," said Alex to his brother Jared.
The ending score for this game was 25-0. As Coach Mayes said, Woodland "spanked" Sunset.
But when you listened to the crowd as Jared took the field, it's clear there were no losers on the field this night.
Jared was given the Courage Award at the football banquet. Phil and Lisa Stevens are the boy's parents. They have an older sister, Lauren and another brother, Andrew.

Another MMA spinoff: Shock Fights (with tasers)
By Brandt DeLorenzo on Mar 16, 2010
MMA writer (and photographer) Bauzen over at MiddleEasy.com just posted up an article on one of the most ridiculous MMA spinoff's I have ever seen and I'm still reeling from just how bad this is. It's far worse than YAMMA Pit Fighting, more ridiculous than XARM, and makes Instinct Fighting ("All Pound, No Ground") look like childs play. Welcome, my MMA friends, to Shock Fights.
Here's how to play:
- Attach 3,000,000 volt tasers to your gloves
- Remove any rules
- Try not to kill each other (or the ref) on your path to victory
Here's a promo video that may pique your interest…and make you cringe.
To learn more about the sport that is currently banned in all 50 U.S. states, head over to MiddleEasy. You'll be glad, or sad, that you learned all about Shock Fights.

I come from a third-world, South American country and I've heard a very similar "sport" going around down there. It might be a little bit extreme, but I doubt anybody is getting hurt. One good thing really comes out from this: The money that these types of "productions" put out in such devastated economies really help these people. Some might call it exploitation, but when you only have $1 dollar per week to survive, a few extra dollars could really come in handy. Plus, the third-world mentality is soooo different to the U.S.; maybe, those things that we might think that may be violating human rights, etc. is actually something fun for the people down there. Believe me, I come from there. Lastly, after living in rural places here in the US and listening to my friends telling me stories about how they used to shock each other with car batteries, this is nothing! Good for these people if they are feeding third-world people. At least, somebody cares… sometimes, the mean does justify the end.
