From Ewden in the North to Totley in the South, Tinsley in the East to Bradfield in the West, Streets Ahead is transforming and improving Sheffield's roads, pavements and streetscene.
The 25 year programme has celebrated its second anniversary with the announcement that nearly 250 miles of road have been resurfaced along with more than 300 miles of pavements and footpath and that over 22,000 pot holes have been repaired.
In addition, street cleaning teams routinely empty 3,334 bins each week, 14,322 new LED streetlights have been installed and 64 new traffic signal schemes have been completed.
Cllr Jack Scott, Cabinet Member for Environment, Recycling and Streetscene, said: "We are very proud of the Streets Ahead project and delighted to be celebrating our 2nd anniversary. Over the past two years we have seen what a huge difference the project is making across the city. We can see better lighting; smoother roads and pavements and an improving streetscene.
"We have experienced some challenges on the way but we never expected this project to happen overnight. We are working hard to address some of the challenges and are confident that the city will continue to see their streets improving for the better."
Rob Allen the Streets Ahead Business Director said: "These figures give some idea of the scale and scope of the Streets Ahead project which was launched in August 2012 to provide Sheffield with a highways network that is second to none.
"It is the biggest, most ambitious project of its kind in the UK and as such, has provided us with some big challenges.
"Looking at highways alone, we have committed to bringing Sheffield's roads up to standard by August 2017, from the heavily used main routes that carry the bulk of the city's commuters to side streets choked with parked cars.
"In order to achieve this we have to send out hundreds of thousands of letters to residents, closed roads, manage traffic, put diversions in place, worked at night and ask residents to move their cars.
"Our work does cause people inconvenience but once the first five years of the contract are over, the city and its residents will be able to enjoy the benefits of smooth roads and pavements, brighter and more energy efficient LED lighting and improved road drainage."
Key achievements by Streets Ahead include:

In the early hours of this morning, Sheffield City Council stepped in to help partner agencies tackle an ongoing fire at an industrial estate in Ecclesfield.
Fire crews have been fighting the blaze at the Yarra Plastics site in Station Road since Wednesday night.
However, their work has been made more difficult as huge quantities of plastic at the site have melted together to form one large, smouldering, mass.
In order to enable the materials to be broken up and removed quickly and safely, Sheffield City Council has moved to meet the cost of bringing in heavy machinery.
This will assist fire crews in bringing the blaze to an early end, and also minimise any risks to residents from smoke.
Sheffield City Council will be seeking the full cost of this work from the landowner.
Councillor Jack Scott, cabinet member for environment, recycling and streetscene, said: "We are working hard with partner agencies including South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and the Environment Agency to bring the incident to a close as soon as possible.
"Clearly our main concern is for the wellbeing of residents in the area, who are still being advised to keep their windows closed while the fire continues to smoulder.
"We hope that by stepping in and assisting in this way, our colleagues at the fire service will be able to safely resolve this blaze sooner than they otherwise would have done.
"It should also be stressed that we will seek to recover the full cost of this work from the landowner, so that it is not a further drain on public funds."
The cost of bringing in the heavy plant machinery to break up the plastics is estimated to be in the region of £10,000

Anyone who has spoken to people in Sheffield will be amazed at the LibDem motion. I don't think I have ever seen a motion that is so out-of-touch, so aloof and so smug. Crisis – what crisis?
Of course, any improvement in the British economy is very welcome, however weak and however overdue.
But nobody should be in any doubt about this change – it is for the South East, it is for the rich and it is for the short-term.
Let's remember that 93% of people on zero-hour contracts don't get any benefit from the rise in tax allowance whatsoever. The increase in tax allowance is almost entirely used by people earning over £30k – it doesn't benefit the lowest paid whatsoever.
The answer is because the economy isn't nearly strong enough. Most working people are not feeling a recovery at all. And even worse, it is built on another housing bubble AND confined to one part of the country AND helping the richest the most.
The Lib-Dems and Tories may be happy with an economy that is low-wage, low-pay and low security, but Sheffield deserves better.
Our communities need real action now, not the LibDems telling people they should feel richer and should be grateful for all the kind things the LibDems have done for them.
So let me finish by saying that if the Liberal Democrats want to make this general election a fight over who can stand up best for families, who can create good jobs and who can help with the cost of living crisis – I have only three words to say to them: Bring it on.

The Streets Ahead team is helping residents 'Keep Sheffield Stainless' by installing barbecue bins in public spaces, including Devonshire Green, this summer.
Phil the Bin, the city's anti-littering mascot, paid a visit to the Green to urge picnickers to look out for the shiny steel bins and use them to dispose of their barbecues and hot coals safely.
Phil is on a mission this year to get all residents and visitors to help "fill the bin", whether that means barbecue bins, regular bins or the increasing number of recycling bins that can be found across the city.
Councillor Jack Scott, Member for Environment, Recycling and Streetscene, said: "As the weather hot's up we know that residents will be using the public spaces across the city to have barbecues and socialise. We are encouraging this but also asking them to take responsibility for their litter use the barbecue and recycling bins provided.
"Each month the Streets Ahead team collects over 500 tonnes of waste across the city and, while our street cleaners do a great job, we need all residents, businesses and visitors to take care of their communities and not drop the litter in the first place."
Darren Butt, Operations Director for the Streets Ahead team, said: "Summer is one of our busiest times of the year because everyone is out enjoying the nice weather. We have over 120 street cleaners working day and night to keep the city spotless.
"However, litter is something that is very noticeable. If each resident, business or visitor disposed of their litter responsibly, then we could ensure it is a better place for everyone to live in."

As the city recovers from celebrating the Tour de France the Streets Ahead team has sent its thanks to all the visitors and residents who did their bit to make it such a success.
The Streets Ahead team worked for months in the run up to the event to ensure the route and the whole city looked its best to welcome the riders and visitors from across the world.
As well as surveying the whole route to ensure street furniture, trees and walls would stand up to the expected crowds, more than four miles of road were resurfaced and street furniture – including traffic signals, road islands, speed bumps and bollards – were temporarily removed. These will be re-instated over the coming weeks.
Over four and a half tonnes of litter were collected along the route afterwards.
Cllr Jack Scott, Cabinet Member for Environment, Recycling and Streetscene, said: "The Tour de France was a fantastic event and we would like to thank all Sheffielders and visitors to our city for making it a success. Everyone had a great time. We have had feedback from the Tour organisers who were very pleased with our organisation, the condition of the route and the support they received from all the spectators. It's especially good that we have been able to get the city cleaned up and back to normal at double quick time.
"We will build on our investment in hosting the prestigious Tour de France cycle race by using it to encourage more people to take to their bikes."
Robert Allen, Business Director for Streets Ahead, said: "We had hundreds of employees working intensively in the days and nights running up to the event and over 100 were in action across the city on the day to ensure the Tour de France passed through smoothly.
"The clean-up operation afterwards was given a helping hand by all the spectators, who used the hundreds of litter bins and bags we provided. We would like to thank Sheffield for its support."

Shoppers on Fargate had a surprise when they found themselves surrounded by yellow clad street cleaners who gave their anti-littering message in their own unique way.
The cleaners were accompanied by college student Becky Friskney singing the Lulu hit 'Shout' as a way of shouting about the city's new Stainless Sheffield campaign. They were also accompanied by the campaign mascot Phil the Bin who entertained on lookers with this dance moves.
The 'Keep Sheffield Stainless' campaign was launched earlier in the year to encourage people to take pride in their communities and play their part in keeping the city clean.
Cllr Jack Scott, Cabinet Member for Environment, Recycling and Streetscene, said: "We are immensely proud of our city and work hard to ensure that it is clean and stainless. We have over 120 street cleaners across the city working day in day out to ensure that the city is kept clean.
"However, litter is something that is very noticeable and if each resident, business or visitor disposed of their litter responsibly then we could ensure it was a better place for everyone to live in."
The Street Cleaning Manager for Streets Ahead, Sara Bradley said: "People don't always notice street cleaners but they certainly noticed them today!
"It was all a bit of fun but behind it there was a serious message we really wanted to shout about, which is why we chose the Lulu song.
"We work really hard to keep the city looking its best but everyone can play their part by using the litter bins provided, including an increasing number of recycling bins.
"These will both help the environment and reduce the amount of rubbish that goes to landfill."

Is your child a tax credit to you?
Parents and guardians can get a $1,000 tax credit per child if they meet income requirements. Some can even get additional credit.
This post is by Kay Bell of Bankrate.com.
All parents hope that their children will be a credit to them. That can literally be the case at tax time.
The popular $1,000-per-child tax credit was made a permanent part of the U.S. Tax Code, thanks to the American Taxpayer Relief Act, also known as the "fiscal cliff" tax bill, that was enacted Jan. 2, 2013. That's great news for parents, who find the credit is an easy way to reduce their tax bills dollar-for-dollar.
In addition to the financial benefit, there are no records to keep or extra forms to file to claim the child tax credit. You simply enter the proper amount directly on your 1040 or 1040A form.
You will, however, have to fill out a worksheet to figure your exact credit amount. And if you're eligible for the additional child tax credit, there is even more paperwork involved.
Basic requirements
There are also certain tests you -- and your kids -- must meet before the Internal Revenue Service will let you claim the tax credit.
The key requirement is that your youngster be 16 or younger at the end of the tax year.
But the child doesn't have to be your child. A qualifying child in the IRS' eyes also could be your sibling (either full or step) or a descendant of one of these relatives, such as a grandchild, niece or nephew.
As for your kids, they can be yours by birth or adoption, or because your son or daughter was placed in your foster care by a court or authorized agency.
The IRS also looks at how much income you have in providing for most of the child's care.
The credit begins phasing out if you make $110,000 and are married, filing a joint return; earn $75,000 and file as head of household, single or qualifying widow or widower; or make $55,000 and are a married-filing-separately taxpayer.
If you take other credits, they could affect the final amount of child tax credit that you can claim. Instruction booklets for both Form 1040 and Form 1040A contain the worksheets you'll need to figure this credit. You also can find detailed examples in IRS Publication 972, Child Tax Credit.
Getting extra credit
One drawback of the child tax credit is that it is nonrefundable. That means it can help you erase your tax bill, but it won't get you a refund.
Take, for example, Jim and Joan, a couple with two kids who translate to a total child tax credit of $2,000. However, because Jim and Joan's tax bill is $900, they lose some of the tax benefit of the credit. They can use it to wipe out what they owe the IRS, but the remaining $1,100 is effectively lost.
But Joan, Jim and other filers in similar situations might be able to get all or some of that nonrefundable portion back via the additional child tax credit. Again, some calculations will be required to determine the exact amount of this added credit. Generally, this is 15% of your taxable earned income that exceeds $3,000.
And parents with three or more children might be able to get back even more. In this case, parents could possibly get an additional child tax credit up to the amount of Social Security taxes paid during the year, less any earned income credit they received.
Of course, the additional credits, like most child-related duties, require extra time and work. To calculate your precise added tax credit, you'll have to complete a worksheet, then fill out Form 8812 and send it along with your individual tax return.
If you use tax software, that program will take you through the additional steps required to get the bigest tax credit from your children.
Don't let the extra work stop you. The calculations could really pay off.

- AMT: Beware the alternate tax universe
Screwed up tax system and need for overhaul aside, I don't mind the tax credit but I think it should stop at two kids. Same with benefits for welfare. Maybe 3 but I say stop at 2. I think that knowing you only get assistance for the first two would go along way to help deter those who can't seem to figure out what causes kids to be born yet continue to do so even though they can't afford the kids. That combined with the free birth control. Give and take from both sides if you ask me. Not perfect or lone solution but IMO could be a good start to break the cycle and get rid of the leeches. In turn saving money and hopefully helping to stop welfare abuse while getting more to those who actually need it and that the service was meant for. Also anything to slow down population increase will help as well. Love or hate that is my thought, sorry for being somewhat off topic.
I think its time
it creates jobs for nannies and child care facilities that get government funding for certainn programs, while some parents who make more pay a regular rate.
Not having a child is your choice also, so what's your point.
hell I pay child supprot and have to pay taxes on the money i give to my childs mother, who inturns uses it as income with out any taxes to pay on it...
But the refund i get from my state goes as income on thenext years tax return.
the whole tax system is screwed up when you are encouraged to seek a refund vs make total use of you r money throughout the year.

New gift registries solicit cash
Want a lavish honeymoon you can't afford on your own? Now there are more ways than ever to get your friends and family to chip in.
This post comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site MarketWatch.
A down payment on a new house. A trip to Italy. A $700 stroller. Sometimes the gifts people really want for their weddings, milestone birthdays or baby showers don't match up with the individual budgets of family members and friends.
So-called financial registries that let consumers solicit contributions for a big purchase have been around for years, but now banks and other financial institutions are getting in on the action.
Investing site Betterment launched a gift-registry feature earlier this month, with contributions slotted into the recipient's portfolio of Treasury bonds and exchange-traded funds. Earlier this year, Social Money -- parent company of SmartyPig, an online bank with a 1% yield that allows account holders to ask others to chip in toward listed goals -- announced it would market the technology to other banks. The first bank to license Social Money's technology, India's ICICI, will launch it this fall, says Social Money co-founder Mike Ferrari, and further partnerships are in the works.
The advantage of gift registries for financial institutions is simple: They're big business.
On wedding registries alone, the average family member spends $146, while friends shell out $79, reports TheKnot.com. Multiply that by the typical 150 wedding guests for some 2 million weddings a year, and there's easily more than $1 billion in gifts up for grabs. Swaying even 1% of guests to give to a financial registry instead of pitching in for a stand mixer or a china place setting would substantially increase deposits and generate fee income, says Benjamin Tobias, a certified financial planner based in Plantation, Fla.
Registries could also provide a wealth of marketing information: After all, if you've got a registry that's collecting money for a home down payment, chances are, you'll eventually be in the market for a mortgage.
For consumers, the appeal is likely to be significant, too. "The registry is a holdover from a time when you really were trying to help a couple who had nothing," says Matt Wallaert, a New York–based behavioral psychologist. As couples marry later, he says, they may already have many traditional registry items but could use money toward a down payment, say, or even toward big-ticket goods like furniture that are too expensive to draw takers on a traditional registry.
Unlike the case with other registries, users aren't locked in to spending the gift with a particular company, and they're earning a return on the cash while they work toward that larger goal. Gift-givers, meanwhile, may find financial registries more affordable than picked-over kitchenware registries. And giving cash through the registries may be easier than corralling money from other well-wishers to cover the cost of a particular item.
That said, experts say consumers should proceed with caution. "For a short-term goal -- one that's less than five years away -- I would not invest in anything that goes up and down in the market," says Tobias. A simple savings or money market account is a safer bet, he says.
Watch out for fees
Fees on individual gifts and accounts can add to both the givers' and receivers' tabs. SmartyPig charges gift-givers a 2.9% transaction fee for credit or debit card transactions. Betterment charges registry owners an annual account fee of 0.15% to 0.35% of the account balance, depending on the plan chosen, in addition to fees for individual investments. Basic accounts require a monthly deposit of at least $100 to avoid a $3 monthly fee.
But sites say their fees are minimal compared with those of other registries that collect for honeymoon and wedding costs -- in some cases, the cut there can be as much as 10%. The fees are also far less than gift-givers might pay to cover tax and shipping on a physical gift. SmartyPig's Ferrari says that the site's charges cover credit card processing fees and that givers can create their own account for free transfers.
Betterment's chief executive, Jon Stein, says the site plans to add a money market option this fall for users who want a conservative approach for short-term goals. Gifts made to a registry count toward an account holder's monthly deposit, too, which means you might not need to contribute your own cash to avoid maintenance fees.
Gift preferences and etiquette present another potential hurdle to the success of such sites. Givers tend to like the idea of sending something tangible, thinking the recipient will always remember who gave them that punch bowl or toaster, Wallaert says. A cash gift toward a larger goal, however, may be lost in the shuffle. (Betterment gets around this by letting users "register" for virtual items tied to their goal, at various price points -- like bedroom furniture or front-door keys for their future home -- although all the money goes into one account that can be spent as the account holder sees fit.)
Does this make me look tacky?
For registrants, there's also the risk that a request for cash will come across as rude. "Giving guests direction about gift-giving should be done with the utmost discretion and care," says Daniel Post Senning, a spokesman for the Emily Post Institute. As with other kinds of registries, it's not polite to list the gift information in an invitation. Family members can quietly spread the word, he says, or you could link to the information on a wedding website for interested parties to find.
Talking up your registry preference could do harm to more than your social standing. The same registry-finding tools gift-givers use to find someone's account can also be easily employed by thieves, points out Paul Stephens, the director of policy and advocacy for the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. An attractive, high-sum, publicly posted account balance could lead to increased phishing and hacking attempts, he says. (Ferrari and Stein say users can control how much information about a registry is made public.)
In social financing, as in life, discretion is the key.

Ok, controversy time here.
I don't think Fosters is that bad. Certainly not my drink of choice but given the quality of other 'mainstream' lagers you generally find here, if faced with the choice I'd certainly take Fosters over the likes of Carling and the awful UK-brewed b*****disation of Carlsberg without a doubt.

Not all, actually. There are some very good ones like Budweiser Budwar (NOT the appalling US Budweiser). Some Czech, German and Belgian lagers are excellent and the burgeoning craft beer market in the US is producing some excellent brews.
But Miller, Carling, Fosters, Anheuser Busch Budweiser, Coors and even Carlsberg and British Stella Artois (the Belgian stuff isn't bad) are really only fit for flushing the toilet with.
And whilst Belgian beers can be very good, British real ale takes a lot of beating.
I have many faults. Being wrong is not one of them.

Don't mind Becks Vier actually. The problem with most lager is that its pumped full of gas or something. I know someone who lived in Germany for 25 years and he can't drink the lager here as its makes him physically ill. I have a much stronger constitution and will drink ( and eat) almost anything. Traditional British beer is very appealing because there are so many breweries and so much choice. Its isn't so mass produced as lager. BTW Lager was originally introduced into the UK as a drink for women but then the young lads went for it as they couldn't take to the bitter taste of traditional English beer. Lager is okay for sticking in the fridge and drinking on a hot day but that's about it (but then Cider does a better job in that respect).
Great British beers:
Hobgoblin (dark strong beer that keeps you regular!)
Black Sheep Ale (lovely mix of bitter and sweet)
Courage Directors ( a great stalwart)
Bombardier ( a full pint!)
Suffolk Best (decent and not too strong)
Banks Best (nice and its cheap!)
Old Speckled Hen (probably my absolute favourite)

It is my understanding that it is brewed solely for the turistas, and the Stupid Bloody Yanks who don't know any better.

I tried a Golden Hen (from the same brewer) last night - very pleasant, have you tried that one? I followed that with a Thwaites Wainwright, lovely.
I think it's safe to say this thread has been derailed somewhat .

JBL Control 23T 2-Way 3-1/2" Indoor/Outdoor Speaker PairThe Control 23T is one of the most compact of JBL Professional's Control Contractor Series indoor/outdoor loudspeakers, making it a perfect choice for patios, foyers, retail or other applications where foreground/background music and paging are required, with minimum aesthetic impact. They can be used in either 70.7V or 100V distributed-line sound systems. The single power tap is 5W at 70.7V and 10W at 100V. The unique InvisiBall mounting hardware makes short work of permanent installation. In addition, the InvisiBall mounting method adds the benefit of vertical rotation of up to 37° and horizontal rotation of up to 44°. Because InvisiBall adjustments are made through a hidden access behind the logo badge, the grille never needs to be removed, while providing a high-degree of theft deterrence. The Control 23T readily accepts a variety of paints and finishes to match any decor. Weather resistance is maximized by coating the woofer cone in polypropylene and terminating its circumference in JBL's WeatherEdge, a seamless, rubberized extension of the woofer surround that provides added protection to critical transducer elements. The polycarbonate tweeter diaphragm is reinforced with a thin film of titanium for added rigidity and endurance against sun, salt and moisture. Zinc-plated grilles resist rusting in the harshest conditions. You can't go wrong with speakers from the company whose name is synonymous with cinema sound and was voted number one in the recording industry in 1976 (the heyday of recording) by studio professionals. Today, JBL monitors are used by Grammy winners such as Frank Fillipetti (Ray Charles, Korn, Billy Joel, Kiss) and Nate Kunkel (B.B. King, Sting, Crystal Method, Maroon 5).

Students take a core 'Advanced Drawing and Painting' studio class that focuses exclusively on drawing and painting materials and techniques. Students will explore composition, proportion, perspective and value while continuing to build their observational skills. They will also be introduced to contemporary art practice and ideas, and have the opportunity to create self-directed creative work.
Summer 2014 programs have concluded, but we'd love to have you join us next summer! Click here to join our mailing list, and you'll be among the first to know about summer 2015 programs.
Advanced Drawing and Painting studio focusing on drawing foundations and techniques, including graphite, ink, charcoal and conté. Emphasis will be placed on various approaches to drawing and painting from observation through still lifes, perspective and portraiture.
Students will take three additional hours of instruction by combining two to three of the following classes:
- Sculptural Forms
- Black and White Film Photography (new)
- Printmaking Techniques (new)
- Experimental Fashion (new)
One-hour visual art electives:
- Drawing Techniques
- Drawing Nature
- 2D Mixed Media (new)
- Sculpture
- Ceramics
- Digital Arts
- Fibers: 3D Soft Construction
- Artists' Books
- Jewelry Design
One-hour electives in other arts areas: view list.
All Visual Art students participate in the Visual Arts Studio Seminar.
Participation in the weekly evening figure-drawing studio is encouraged and there are open studio tutorials offered two evenings a week.
Students will choose their courses after the enrollment process.
A portfolio that shows established skill in drawing, particularly from observation. Students returning to the Intermediate Visual Arts program are highly encouraged to apply for this program, as it will build on the foundational skills they developed in a previous summer.
Portfolio Requirements
Prepare a minimum of five images that represent your highest quality of work. Three pieces must be made from direct observation (drawn or painted from life, not copied from a photograph). The portfolio may be in any medium but evidence of some color experience is preferred (paint, colored pencil, pastel, etc.)
Applicants who submit a portfolio to the Advanced Drawing and Painting program may be considered for the Intermediate Visual Arts program.

Understanding Heart Attack: Diagnosis and Treatment
What Is the Outlook After a Heart Attack? continued...
Mind/Body Medicine
Stress may be one of the risk factors you can control to help prevent heart attack and aid in recovery. Many techniques -- such as meditation, biofeedback, and yoga -- work by training the mind and body to relax. Relaxation has also been shown to provide relief from pain, which may be encountered during the recovery period.
Attitude is another consideration in heart attack recovery. People with a positive attitude about recovery tend to do much better. You may find that a particular mind-body technique helps you to focus on positive thoughts. You may also find, as many others have, that sharing thoughts and emotions with a support group is extremely beneficial.
The basic goals of a heart-healthy diet are to keep salt, sugar, and trans fats to a minimum to reduce cholesterol, control blood pressure, and control weight. Eating healthy foods like nuts, beans, bran, fish, and dark-green vegetables may help prevent future heart attacks.
Much evidence shows that unstable chemical compounds known as free radicals make the body more vulnerable to heart attack by promoting atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. Free radicals may be neutralized by antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E, which are present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. However, taking these nutrients in supplement form has not been shown to improve heart health.

"For the last couple of months, National Parks and Wildlife have had the gates shut to the entrance to the road that leads to the carpark above Ours due to heavy rains washing out the unsealed road," photographer Billy Morris explained. "Half of Australia is underwater right now with this La Nina pattern." "Word got out that Kelly was in town and would be surfing Ours," Morris continued. "Although it never really eventuated until the afternoon -- when conditions finally improved and the wind swung offshore."
While trying to get back out after snapping a board, Slater got bowled over on the rocks by some rogue whitewater. "The crowd went wild," Morris chucked. "After picking himself back up, Kelly turned and bowed to an applauding crowd."
Fresh off his win at the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, Taj Burrow joined Kelly for some modest-sized slabs. "There was the odd one yesterday at another wave called Middles (up from Ours)," explained Taj. "I didn't get many but Kelly was very horny for the tube, he took off on anything and everything."
And this is why they call Ours a slab. Despite his super-human tendencies, Slater took a handful of beatings as well.
All in a day's work.

NIPSCO held its first public meeting on proposed transmission lines in North Central Indiana.
The meeting was at the Town Center in Shipshewana Monday.
NIPSCO is trying to answer questions that people have before they start constructing the lines.
The lines will be between Reynolds in White County and Topeka in LaGrange County.
The goal of the lines are to improve reliability while alleviating congestion.
"Reason for this open house is to show those lines to the people who live on the property, get their feedback find out what concerns they have. Things that we can avoid. Our goal is to make this project have the least impact on residents," says Kathleen Szot with NIPSCO.
After all the public input meetings, construction on the lines will start in late 2014.
If you could not make Monday's meeting, there are more opportunities:
All open houses are from 3:30 – 7:00p.m. EST

I know the Blazers will win today and the next 3 games are at home. So the Blazers just need to win one game out of the first two. I can see the Blazers will run alot in the game and I feel that they will win by ten or more. The Dalles fan will turn off there TV., That's how bad the Blazers will be up.

LILBURN -- Gwinnett, there is a new art organization in town.

Italian Lakes Walking Tours, Walking Tour in Italy
And small wonder: With its crystalline lakes, soaring, snowcapped mountains and charming medieval villages, the region is nothing short of magical. Join VBT as we stroll the scenic shores of lakes Como, Maggiore and Orta … explore opulent Renaissance villas boasting lavishly landscaped gardens … and savor the acclaimed wines and cuisine of Piedmont and Lombardy. By the end of our stay, we'll surely agree with Percy Shelley that this area "exceeds anything I ever beheld in beauty."
Cultural Highlights
- Enjoy a guided tour of the opulent Palazzo Borromeo and its lush, terraced gardens
- Savor fresh cheese and other local specialties during a picnic lunch at a Coiromonte farm
- Discover enchanting Monte Sacro, a monastic complex devoted to St. Francis of Assisi and a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Walk through the romantic scenery of the Lake district, smelling gardens and strolling verdant shores.
- Visit sumptuous villas and gardens that inspired many artists for centuries.
- Enjoy a ride on a cable car to 3,500 feet, with sweeping views of Lake Maggiore.
- Sample Piedmont wines in the shop and cellar of a characteristic Italianosteria.
- Learn about Saint Julius who brought Christianity to Orta, during a visit to the fourth-century basilica on the little island of San Giulio.
- Emerge in the mystical atmosphere of Monte Sacro as you ascend to this monastic complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Picnic in the shade of softwoods after a scenic descent from 3,500 feet.
- Dine on the tiny Isola dei Pescatori, or fisherman island, at sunset on the romantic lake shore.
What to Expect
This tour features a combination of easy terrain and paved roads mixed with some very short hills. Walks are in open countryside and small cities, sometimes on uneven footpaths over grass and soil pathways and cobbled streets. It is ideal for enthusiastic beginners and experienced walkers. It is always very important to wear appropriate shoes with excellent tread to ensure the perfect grip on uneven and rocky terrain. We plan both longer optional walks and short easy options for those who want to spend more time on their own exploring the cities and surroundings. Be prepared to use ferry and motorboats extensively for our transfers. Both morning and afternoon or evening options are available every day. Several of the walks require a transfer from our hotel to the start of the walk. Our tour leaders often use this time in the van for our morning route review, so we can enjoy a more leisurely morning at breakfast.
What's Included:
Walking Tour Only – without Air
- 6 nights in elegant 3 and 4-star hotels
- 12 meals – 6 breakfasts, 3 lunches, 3 dinners
Air Package Plus
- 8 nights in 4-star hotels

The ingestion of any nonfood item is not a normal activity for a cat and should be diagnosed by your veterinarian to assess whether this is a medical, behavioral or nutritional issue.
Shredding and chewing paper could be the way your cat relieves his boredom. He may also be amused by the sound of the crinkling paper. Provide environment enrichment for your cat by providing safe cat toys. Change the location of his toys daily for him to seek out. Set aside time to actively play with your cat. This will provide him with a mental and physical substitute for choosing unsafe materials.
Be sure you are feeding nutritionally sound food to your cat. Again your veterinarian will recommend what is best.
Soon your kitty will be going "paperless."

Do you agree with euthanasia? (for humans)
I recently had an argument with 2 of my teachers on this subject. Whenever asked whether they agree with euthanasia or not they were either avoiding to answer or they were completely against it without bringing any arguments to support their opinion.
As far as I've noticed this is a very controversial and sensitive subject but I couldn't find anyone to debate it with.
Both my history and my religion teacher found their safety saying that Jesus says humans have no right to take away anyone's life but they didn't share their personal opinion.
Basically my belief is that endeed we do not have that right but in some cases,when for instance a certain person is too sick and hasn't got any chance of getting better and that person doesn't have the streght or the will to fight anymore and their desire is to die,shouldn't they be given this right?

Alan AbelJun 1 2013: During Dr. Kevorkian's era there was an Euthanasia Cruise Line out of Ft. Lauderdale. Every week 25 passengers with one-way tickets would board "The Last Supper" for a final trip to Heaven, by way of Davy Jones' Locker. They each paid $2,500 and could bring one pet. There were 3 days of fancy food, drinking, sex orgies and therapy. Also string quartet music. Outside the 12 mile into International waters, the deck of the 110 foot yacht was greased, titled slightly and the rail removed. Then as the organist played "Nearer My God To Thee," everyone sang, held hands and slid quietly into the ocean forever. What a wonderful way to expire! Those people who chose to die decently were aged 18 to 88. Some were terminally ill. Others were people who had nothing left in life to live for. They were tired of living aimlessly, no goals, no happiness, no mates and just plain bored. Some took their dog or cat with them. But most importantly, all died of their own free will legally in foreign waters.

So in a couple of weeks I'm returning to Raindance to run my one day seminar on Writing for Graphic Novels and Screenplays, and part of my seminar is about networking, and more importantly what not to do. They're rules I've used all my career, and now I'm moving into film and TV, I'm finding that they're even more vital for a screenwriter.
Today, I write about how knowledge in one market can help in another – in this case how being a salesman can help someone be a writer. Not in every manner of sales, but by looking at some of the basic skills that a salesman is taught to do, and showing how it can help you at a convention.

HAZEL PARK (WKZO) -- A man who may have been pretending to be a police officer has been captured in Hazel Park by the real police, who stopped him for a Traffic Violation this week.
He was driving a Ford Crown Victoria with rear deck lights, a siren and front strobe lights.
They found a loaded handgun and a number of security badges inside the car. For now they have just been able to charge 30-year-old Vincent Coleman of Detroit with carrying a concealed weapon and driving on a suspended license.
They would like to hear from anyone who may have had contact with Coleman believing he was a police officer.
