Revival Home & Garden
- Location: Seattle, WA
- Website: revivalhomeandgarden.com
In the rapidly developing but still gritty heart of Georgetown's shopping area is this gem. Revival Home & Garden is aptly named, showcasing as they do beautifully reupholstered and restored vintage pieces, with a bracing mix of modern.
Owner Leah Steen trained and worked as an interior designer before opening the store in March. Revival is a neighbor to previously featured Great Stuff, and is that store's more crisp, feminine counterpart.
While Revival's website is a placeholder for greater things to come, Leah keeps a blog of new arrivals to the store and style inspiration.

Hey, can anyone give me a lead on where I can find those peacock patterned pillows in NYC? I'm looking for them in either red or aqua. Thanks!

The redesigned IS further represents the core values that make the Lexus brand a standout-luxury and plushness. A number of innovative "technoid" features add to the ownership experience.
The Smart Entry and Start opens the door and allows you to start the engine by pushing a button without inserting a key. Simply have the key fob on your person and you'll have full access to the vehicle. Radar cruise control keeps the distance between the IS and the car in front consistent. It also works with the Pre-Collision System to pre-tension the seatbelts and prep the airbag when contact is eminent.
The outgoing IS 300 wasn't as luxurious as Lexus would have liked. While the reason for this was tip-toed around a bit at the long lead, it was obvious to us: The IS 300 was based on the JDM Toyota Altezza and, as such, performance rather than luxury was the aim.
For 2006 the Lexus IS line has expanded to offer three distinct models: the IS 250, IS 250 AWD and IS 350. The new car is 3.5 inches longer, three inches wider and sports an additional 2.4 inches of wheelbase compared to the IS 300.
The look of the new IS draws from the L-Finesse design philosophy of recent Lexus concept cars. While it is smooth and seductive in all the right ways, we are creatures of habit, so we hurriedly popped the hood to see the powerplant.
In this case we were met with a leading-edge engine, which could very well be a sign of things to come for many years. The old IS 300 inline six, which spawned turbo kits and Supra swaps, is gone and an entirely fresh V6 powerplant motivates the new IS. These new motors-the 2.5-liter 4GR-FSE and 3.5-liter 2GR-FSE-feature technologically advanced direct-injection fueling systems, dual VVT-i and other innovative controls and hard parts.
Conventional injection introduces fuel in the intake port area of the runner and aims it at the intake valve. Air and fuel pass the valve and enter the combustion chamber where the compression cycle creates the charged-air mixture. Direct injection moves the injector into the combustion chamber where a much more exact mixture can be created because the intake runners and/or the opening of the intake valve are no longer involved with fuel flow.
Also, better fuel atomization can be realized thanks to a more dynamic injector spray pattern. Through the use of a high-pressure fuel system, in which the pump is driven by a dedicated lobe on the exhaust cam, and a proprietary D.I. injector, a fan-shaped spray pattern is generated. This pattern and highly specialized tuning maps allow the V6 to deliver the often-opposing elements of power, economy and ULEV emissions.
The plot thickens with the IS 350's 2GR-FSE engine, which runs a staged injection system with secondary injectors positioned at the port. However, unlike traditional staged injection where the secondary injectors come online as boost is introduced or high load is realized, this setup runs only the direct injectors at high loads.
The tech attack goes well beyond the fueling system, as the valvetrain received some substantial attention. Toyota's Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i) system was expanded to include both intake and exhaust cams. Previous VVT-i systems incorporated only the intake side
The new valvetrain also uses roller rockers with hydraulic lash adjusters. These improvements allow for more precise control of all aspects of combustion, which is key to the GR family's impressive combination of power and efficiency.

Nice functional wallet with a great look - can't say anything bad of it....
Cool Idea, but slightly faulty
Member since
I love the Idea, but the cork was bubbled up- ended up sending it back.
I like mine!
Member since
Not much I can say, except it seems really well made, holds money and cards and fits in a pocket. If you like what you see in the picture, you'll like what you get!
Same wallet, different look.
Member since
Well basically the wallet layout is exactly as described and pictured by Backcountry, however the look of the wallet on the outside is not the same. Therefore, since I got a product that wasn't pictured I am forced to "not recommend" this and give it only 2 stars. Although this is purely Backcountry's fault and not Nixon's.The layout of the wallet is the same, it has all the card slots where they're pictured, and the quality of the leather and stitching seems completely fine. Based on that portion I would say 5/5 stars, no complaints.The outside of the wallet is where the difference is. I uploaded some pics of the one I was sent. I ordered the "Pebble". As you see most of the front is black leather instead of the "pebble" kind like in the picture.So, just be warned, you might not get exactly what you see in the picture they have up. Or even that I have up.
Inside Wallet

The inside of the wallet opened up.

The outside of the wallet opened up.

Does this wallet have a seperate bill...

Does this wallet have a seperate bill compartment? The Nixon Montreal Wallet (which looks almost exactly like this one) doesnt have one. Thx.
Member since
Yes, it does have a bill compartment.

KHON KAEN, Thailand -- Supakorn Utaipat of Thailand surprised even himself in his third Asian Tour event by grabbing a two-stroke lead halfway through the King's Cup on Friday.
Supakorn's 5-under-par 67 gave him a two-round total of 13-under 131, two better than first-round leader Mardan Mamat of Singapore (70), Chris Rodgers of England (69) and 2010 winner Udorn Duangdecha of Thailand (68) at Singha Park Kohn Kaen Golf Club.
"I'm really excited to be where I am but it's beyond my expectations to make the cut," Supakorn said.
Supakorn thought he'd never play golf again three years ago when he was involved in a crash which wrote off his car, and was sidelined for seven months with a broken right collarbone. On Friday, he birdied his first two holes then five more in an eight-hole span, against two bogeys.
"My weekend strategy will be to shoot birdies as early as possible and play with more prudence," he said. "I don't want to place too much hope on myself as I might put myself under pressure."
Wade Ormsby of Australia carded the day's low round, a 63, to rise into a six-way tie for fifth.

When Mike struggles to keep his head up and his eyes open, Harvey finally calls it a night for both of them, pulling Mike up and out of his seat on Harvey's couch. The action pulls them close together and Mike leans forward, presses smooth lips to his, pulls back. Mike blinks at him, waits for his reaction, wets his lips with the tip of his tongue. Harvey's hands clench Mike's ribs.
"You're tired."
Mike shakes his head, fixes his eyes on Harvey with a smirk.
"You are."
"I'm good."
When Harvey sends him a disbelieving look, he says, "You want me to say the alphabet backwards to prove it to you?"
"That's if you're drunk."
Mike smiles, leans closer. "C'mon Harvey. C'mon."
The kiss is hard, demanding, but the brat practically asked for it, and Mike's laugh tells him he's enjoying it just as much as Harvey is. Then it's just a flick or two of the wrist and Mike is standing in the middle of his living room, naked, whining at a still-clothed Harvey. Harvey slaps him on the ass, grins when Mike yelps.
Harvey strips down slowly, piece by piece, lays each article gently across the back of the sofa, listens to Mike's breathing get faster and faster as he stands, watches. When Harvey finally lays his boxers on top of the pile, Mike jumps on him, shifts his hips, curls himself around Harvey. Harvey grabs Mike's ass, walks them across the condo until they're backed into a wall. Harvey grinds his hips against Mike's, swallows his gasps, pulls at his bottom lip with his teeth and Mike rolls his hips, gasps for air as he drops his head back against the wall with a thud. Harvey thumbs a nipple, latches onto Mike's neck, worries the skin gently with his mouth. Mike reaches down a shaky hand and takes them both in hand and Harvey lifts his head, breathes through his mouth hard, claims Mike's mouth as his breathing becomes erratic, hot, perfectly desperate.
There's an empty bottle of wine that cost more than Mike's couch standing empty on the table behind them – tonight had been all about teaching Mike the things he needed to know, in the safety of his own apartment so that he wouldn't embarrass Harvey in front of the partner's at the next Pearson Hardman fundraiser. Harvey had cooked what tasted like a fine gourmet meal (and if Mike were being honest, he suspected that Donna had done a very good job finding a Michelin star chef who would be willing to deliver food for the right amount) and explained to him what utensils to use when – like Harvey thought he was a hooker who was going to count the tongs on his fork before pulling out packets of ketchup from his (man)purse. But dinner was over and Mike was done being a good little student, and so instead he had maneuvered them down onto the floor, his deft fingers quickly unbuttoning his shirt and expertly sliding down his zipper, his mouth hot against Harvey's neck, his tongue sliding out to feel the thrum of his pulse as he whispered Harvey's words back to him, "You need to learn to appreciate the finer things in life."
Everything used to be so simple.
It was early mornings, and late nights. It was stale cold pizza and the hot bright burn of smoke in their lungs. It was laughing and wrestling each other to the floor over the stupidest things. It was video games all day and tumbling into bed together at night.
Things used to be so easy. Things used to be so simple.
Mike used to be able to look at Trevor and smile, to see only the friend that had supported him for so long. And Trevor was happy, happy and carefree in a way he had lost with time. They used to be happy, they used to love each other, they used to care. Now though….
Now there's none of that left.
Just a hole where there had once been family, just one more loss for Mike in a series. Just one more aching bleeding wound that won't ever heal. One more hurt.
Now it's angry phone calls and threats. Now it's glares sent across crowded sidewalks and plots twisting sickly sweet between them, dragging them both down. Now it's only hurt and bitterness.
Things can never go back.
There were only three times Mike saw that look in Harvey's face. Mike remembers a look on Harvey. That look of pride in his face when a mentor sees his protege learns something critical. A look that crinkles Harvey's forehead and this hybrid of a smirk and smile that would be plastered on Harvey's face. His eyes lighting up and effectively removes years of hard work off his sculpted face. The first on was when they first met. Mike's confidence and intelligence practically drowning the whole room rubbed off on Harvey and reminded him of his younger self. That tiny glimmer Harvey saw that maybe… just maybe this scraggly kid can emerge from his pathetic excuse of a life and become just like him. The second time was when he learned Harvey's mantra in the office. "There's always a winner". Harvey was practically beaming at him a split second after the words were spurted out. Like a father who just taught his son how to shoot a ball or drive his first car. The last time Mike will see that look on Harvey's face was the day he made Senior Partner at Pearson-Specter. That night, after the expected "Congratulations, you made Senior Partner!" office party, Harvey took him out for dinner and drinks at their favorite restaurant. It was past 11pm, but Harvey had made arrangements for them to be alone and have a quiet time together. And this is when he made the speech. "I want you to stop, breathe, and remember this moment because everything you've worked for comes full circle. Here. In this moment. For the rest of your life. Don't forget where you came from, and don't forget the people who helped you get here. What comes after this is just the excess of what you've done. Power, respect, and more importantly, humility". That night, Mike has never slept more peacefully in his life.
There are moments where he just can't hold it in.
For the most part he is the master of concealed emotions, his poker face in place from the moment he steps into the foyer of Pearson Hardman until the second he leaves. And while he can admit that his no emotions bullshit is just that, bullshit lies he told to protect himself, the principal was one that served him well and helped him to his position of Senior Partner and best closer in the city.
But there are moments, tiny fragments in time, where the mask slips and the truth is revealed to anyone who cared to see it. Like when he would walk past the bullpen but stop dead in his tracks when he caught sight of Mike, working diligently on his case, biting his lip in concentration, looking like there was nowhere else in the world he belonged except for right here. He can't help himself, taking that small step closer, smiling with pride and warmth and something else, unidentifiable but strong.
He watches for a few minutes, unable to tear his eyes away, doesn't even blink. And then Mike, as though he can feel Harvey's stare, looks up and catches Harvey's eyes.
Harvey would feel embarrassed about being caught out or might start composing excuses in his head, but then Mike smiles at him from across the room, small but genuine. If there are other people in the room Harvey doesn't know and he definitely doesn't care, he just luxuriates in this moment for as long as he can. And when the noise and chaos of the room breaks through his reverie, Harvey nods at Mike, before turning and walking away.
Mike focused on the way his lungs pressed out against his chest, forcing past the instinct to hold his breath as he waited for the heavy wooden door in front of him to open. He was debating the wisdom of knocking at 2am in the first place when he was suddenly looking at an annoyed face instead of wood-grain. Biting back his immediate gut reaction to snap at the other man, Mike stepped back and observed him instead. Harvey looked drawn, his tux jacket discarded and tie hanging loose. Mike was sure he wasn't looking any better, given the fact that his entire social life was in shambles and the man standing in front of him still looked like sex on legs while Mike looked like a homeless kid in old jeans and a worn t-shirt.
"Have I mentioned lately that I'm moving?" Harvey asked sarcastically. His face was masked in annoyance but he still stepped aside enough for Mike to push past him without actually having to push at all. The older man followed behind after a moment's hesitation and Mike turned once he reached the sofa to find Harvey leaned against the kitchen island, recently emptied liquor glass in hand.
"Have I mentioned lately that I hate you?" Mike sneered in return, his fists clenched at his sides. Harvey merely cocked his head at the outburst. "I didn't tell her. I couldn't. I can't lose everything I've worked for. I can't lose this." The blond bit off the last word in the hopes that Harvey would let it slide. A raised eyebrow was all that indicated the older man had caught on and Mike's anger rushed to the surface before he could make any sort of remark.
"You still want to act like this is a joke, don't you?" Mike took a step forward and was mildly amused to see Harvey flinch slightly as his voice got louder. "You think relationships only matter if you're still the center of the fucking universe but it doesn't work that way, Harvey. Other people matter. I matter."
"I never said you didn't," Harvey cut in, matching Mike's harsh tone. "I said she didn't."
"Yes she did!" Mike realized he was shouting at the same time Harvey slammed his glass down on the tiled island. The other man stepped forward and grabbed Mike's arm.
"No," he said quietly, firmly. "She didn't."
"Fuck you," Mike forced out. Harvey only smirked at him, tightening his grip slightly before letting go and stepping away, arms out at his sides in invitation.
"If you really think you can."
Their first official date is dinner at Harvey's condo. Mike has been looking forward to it all week while still feeling a ridiculous amount of nerves considering they have known each other for nearly three years and have been sleeping together for over a month. He spends a not inconsiderable amount of time deciding what to wear and what wine to bring and is a jumble of excited nerves when he walks straight into Harvey's condo (without knocking) to find Harvey putting the finishing touches on their food (salmon grilled in white wine marinade with vegetables and rice) and the meal is absolutely delicious – even when it is cold and eaten three hours later.
The sensation was surprising on two levels – one) he had little experience with jealousy because for the longest time he got pretty much everything he ever wanted, and two) he never expected to feel this emotion or anything remotely similar to it over Mike. But he couldn't help it – the young barista was flirting shamelessly with Mike and Mike was most definitely flirting back. It forced things into clear perspective – all those feelings he had for Mike that had skittered along the surface of his perception and until now were dutifully ignored, they came crashing down around him and he couldn't breathe, couldn't think, just mindlessly stepped forward and wrapped his fingers around Mike's wrist and led him away.
Harvey stopped short at the sight of Mike cross-legged on the floor in front of Harvey's minute DVD collection (he's got better things to do than watch movies all the time). Mike's knobbly knees are stuck out on either side of him and Harvey's happy to realize Mike isn't wearing pants. He had his underwear and a t-shirt on and Harvey thought he'd be just fine with Mike in this attire all the time. Mike leaned forward, most likely to decipher which of Harvey's Star Trek DVDS was the 2009 movie, and Harvey ran his tongue over his bottom lip as the top of Mike's ass made an appearance. Mike's briefs were too small, or the t-shirt was. Harvey really didn't care which. The strip of skin revealed was pale and smooth and Harvey wanted to run his tongue across it. He was half hard already when Mike twisted around and held up the movie he'd been looking for. Usually Mike would have rolled his eyes and told Mike almost—almost—all of the other Star Trek movies were better than the newest one but that would just be because Harvey's kind of old-fashioned, according to Mike. But Harvey just worried his lip between his teeth, his eyes tracing Mike's spine under the threadbare tee all the way down to his pert ass. When his gaze returned to Mike's face, Mike's eyes were dark and the movie was no longer in hand as he stood and actually sauntered toward Harvey.
Mike's been testing his patience all night, teasing him, trailing his nimble little fingers up and down Harvey's leg, nudging and stroking along Harvey's inseam, his fly. He knows Harvey can't do anything, won't do anything - the little brat - not with the client and his wife sitting directly across the table from them, and he's clearly enjoying himself, eyes sparkling as he answers Sophia Hall's question.
Harvey cuts into his steak, reassures Jim Hall when he begins to relate his fear that his brother will delay the merger, spreads his legs a little wider when he feels Mike cup him. Out of the corner of his eye Harvey can see Mike's mouth twitch, and he squeezes Harvey gently, presses his thumb down against Harvey's thigh. When Jim and Sophia are called away, Mike gives Harvey's cock a final squeeze before they stand, offer their hands to shake, present more assurances.
Harvey watches them walk out, wipes his mouth with his napkin, walks off toward the bathroom.
He knows Mike will follow.
Harvey leans toward the mirror, watches as Mike walks into the bathroom behind him, watches as he locks the door behind them, his eyes glued to Harvey's. Mike walks up behind him slowly, reaches his hand out to slide under Harvey's jacket, and Harvey spins, grabs Mike, bends him over the sink.
Mike looks up at him through his lashes, their eyes meeting in the mirror, and Harvey reaches a hand underneath Mike, unbuckles his belt, shoves his pants and boxers down until they're swimming around his ankles, puddled on the floor. Harvey gives Mike's ass a light slap, smirks at Mike's yelp, rucks up his shirt before he unzips his pants and pulls his cock free. He grabs Mike's hips, pulls his ass back against him, laughs softly at Mike's moan.
"Harvey, please."
Harvey leans forward, nips at Mike's ear.
Mike drops a hand to take himself in hand and Harvey swats it away, grasps it, plants it firmly on the counter. Mike drops his head on the counter. Groans.
"That'll teach you to tease."

Don't give up on us, it's times like that I need you to stay. Pushing you away often means I want you to show me you care. Don't walk away from our relationship, continue to fight for me. Reassure me that I'm important. Sometimes, I just want to see some effort coming from both ends so I can prove to myself I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.
No matter what happens.. i cant stop loving you. I dont care what others have to say about us. Its how we feel that matters right? The past crap , i left it in the past cuz i dunt see why i have to bring it along to the future esp if it was something i dont wanna remember. Right now, what i want is for us to be happy.. for it to be all real. Just you and me. There are times wen we dunt understand each other but i hope you open up to me more and talk it out..

Metro police are searching for a couple of crooks who invaded an elderly woman's home early Thursday in Old Hickory.
The 86-year-old woman found two men rummaging around in her bedroom on Turner Street about 2 a.m.
She began to yell, and that startled the suspects, who ran out the front door.
Neighbors say the incident has left the community a little on edge.
"We keep our doors locked and a ball bat in our hand. Yeah, it's puzzling to know that somebody would actually come into your house. I don't know. Kind of scary," said neighbor Derrick Paschal.
Police don't know what the two suspects were after, but they left empty handed.
Neighbors say the woman was possibly targeted because of her age.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WKZO) -- It looks like the Michigan Democrats may have a clear path to retaining a U.S. Senate Seat, with just one candidate running for the position now held by Carl Levin, who does not plan to run again in 2014.
The MIRS news agency reports that National Committeewoman Debbie Dingell has released a statement saying she will not be running for the job, clearing the way for Congressman Gary Peters to run uncontested in the primary.
She calls Peters a "good candidate". She says she had gotten a lot of encouragement to run and had taken a long hard look at it, and concluded while it would be good to have more women in congress, she also decided that it would be better for the party to unite behind one candidate for what will be a "difficult and expensive race".
Peters has not officially announced, but his senate campaign committee has already raised over 370-thousand dollars.
Among the republicans considering a run for the seat are Congress members Mike Rogers and Justin Amash, former Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, former National Committeeman Saul Anuzis and State Senator Roger Kahn.

WAUSAU, WI (WTAQ) - A central Wisconsin man is scheduled to go on trial in early September for allegedly supplying the heroin that killed a man in Marathon County.
31-year-old Lucas Zuehlke of Coloma is charged with five felonies in the death of 30-year-old Thomas Knickerbocker in March of last year.
A three-day trial in Zuehlke's case is set to begin September 2nd in Wausau.
Police said Zuehlke sold $100 of heroin to his girlfriend, who then reportedly gave the drug to Knickerbocker. He was later found dead by his young daughter.
The girlfriend, 34-yera-old Nycole Creed of Wausau, has a status conference set for August 19th on charges of delivering heroin and felony bail jumping.

If you want a stiff boot that is easy to ride then you found it. This boot is very comfortable once broken in. It allows easy weight shift for fast quick turns. This is the best boot that I have ever put on my feet. I ride all over the mountain from the park to the backcountry. It does it all well.

I have some Cartel bindings from two years ago and like them so much I bought some new ones. I did not think that Burton could have made them better but they did.

You get what you pay for, I guess.
The "breakfast" is pretty bad. You're getting coffee, yogurt, bagels, OJ, milk, and cereal. Some of the staff can be rude, honestly. I went to the front desk to inquire about getting reimbursed for a brand new bag of clothes that the cleaner threw away (and no it wasn't near the trash) and the lady there basically told me I was screwed. Thankfully the manager fixed that. The beds aren't very comfortable and the AC has two settings...too hot and too cold.

staff was very helpful and everything was clean and smelled clean, we were left alone when we wanted and had al the help we needed when we asked for it. Breakfast was very good. The rooms were very good for insulation and was very quiet. We liked the pet friendly rooms and plan to travel with our cat next time. i was very pleased with the internet that was available and used it every day. I liked how we could come and go any time of the day or night, without causing everyone there to know when we left and came back. Did not use the laundry but looked in and it looked good and clean. I will use the next time we are there.

Everything. AC/ Heat unit was 'new' according to the owner. You can tell it wasn't. Pet stains and smells already there. The curtain wasn't on the rod and after I brought it up, the owner did not move us or fix the issues. Ugh so gross. Dirty disgusting.Just don't stay here. There was one review. I'm sure it was done by the owner for it to be 5 stars out of 5. The pictures must've been from another room because yeah no. Disgusting. I would feel safer sleeping in my car or the uhaul we had.

Homemade Ginger Liqueur & Gold Rush
With the little bit of vacation time on our hands, we decided to try a pretty simple DIY liqueur project. We've made it pretty clear how much we like ginger-flavored things with our bourbon, so making ginger liqueur was a no-brainer. It's easy, steeps for a short amount of time, and has a balanced ginger flavor that goes very well in cocktails.
Ginger Liqueur:
(via Serious Eats)
2 oz. ginger root
1 vanilla bean
1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups brandy
zest of 1 orange
Peel ginger and cut into thin slices. Split vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Bring water, ginger, vanilla bean, and sugar to a boil. Reduce to a simmer until ginger is soft (about 20 minutes). Let syrup cool.
Combine orange zest, brandy, and syrup (including ginger slices and vanilla bean) in the glass container. Seal, shake, and steep for one day. Remove the vanilla bean and steep for one more day. Strain mixture through a coffee filter into the bottle you'll be storing your liqueur in. Let steep for one more day before using.
The hardest part of the whole process is straining the mixture through a coffee filter. It kept clogging and refusing to drip. We discovered that straining the mixture through our French press numerous times first helped quite a bit. If you have any other straining tips, shoot them our way.
After a quick taste of our new ginger liqueur on its own, we decided to try out its contributions to a bourbon cocktail. We've made a Gold Rush before, but this is a variation.
Gold Rush:
1 ½ oz. ginger liqueur
1 oz. bourbon
½ oz. lemon juice
Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, strain into a martini glass, and garnish with a cherry or lemon twist.
Much like our previous version of the Gold Rush, the result is a balanced cocktail that is nice and gently spicy on a cold winter night. The ginger and bourbon complement each other very well.blog comments powered by Disqus

INDIANAPOLIS - Unbeaten Indiana could soon be getting a boost from Danny Granger.
The injured 6-foot-9 swingman is expected to work out Tuesday and could return to practice as early as Wednesday, coach Frank Vogel said before Monday night's game against Memphis.
Granger, a former All-Star, has yet to play in a game this season because of a strained left calf, and Vogel was cautious about establishing a timetable for Granger's return to game action. Clearly, they haven't missed him much.
The NBA's last unbeaten team is off to the best start in franchise history (7-0) and four games in five days last week — something Vogel said he had never before been part of.
"I think it's really a new beginning to the process of getting him game minutes and his game-timing back in his legs," Vogel said when asked to update Granger's status. "I'm not sure when his return date will be."
The fact that Granger is about to start practicing, though, is an encouraging sign. He missed all but five games last season because of a tendon injury in his left knee, and hasn't played in nearly a month after injuring his left calf. The day before the season opener, Indiana said Granger would miss three weeks.
Indiana intended to keep Granger out until he was pain free.
Granger said last month that he did not expect this injury to linger like last season's injury, though he did acknowledge that he wanted to make sure he was healthy.
What Granger will add to the mix is length and scoring punch. He led the Pacers in scoring each season from 2007-08 through 2011-12, and Vogel is hoping he will help create more defensive problems for opponents because of his long wingspan.
The Pacers are already allowing a league-low 85.3 points per game and have limited opponents to a league-low field goal shooting (38.9).
Vogel also faces a dilemma with how to work Granger back into the lineup.
Lance Stephenson, who replaced Granger as the starter last season, is off to the best start of his career, averaging 14.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists. And Vogel certainly doesn't want to mess with success.
"I'll probably have a time frame for him (Granger) for a number of games where he'll get some of the minutes that Orlando Johnson and Solomon Hill are getting," Vogel said. "Then we'll go from there."
It was Canada's night at the NBA Draft as four players from north of the border were selected.

I've been an avid Olympic watcher since Janet Lynn hit the ice in 1972 and some of my favorite TV memories are Olympic -related. Like sitting in Alicia Lacovara's living room watching the the US Hockey team defeating the Russians on my 15th birthday. I've attended memorable Games (Lake Placid) and worked at others (Barcelona). I spent time producing sports videos, have had my own subscription to SI since college and once dated a professional snowboarder. And, I know how to operate my DVR and satellite TV system to the fullest, all qualifying me for Expert Commentary on Vancouver 2010.

Feds roll out revised help for homeowners
New details suggest the government's latest mortgage program -- HARP 2.0 -- won't make refinancing easy for underwater homeowners.
While experts say the new HARP will help more borrowers -- roughly 11 million homeowners are underwater, according to data and analytics firm CoreLogic -- they point out its limitations.
There may be delays
For starters, the whole process could take months. Lenders who underwrite mortgages manually can start processing refinancing applications this month, say spokespeople from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But those who depend on an automated software system to underwrite mortgages must wait until updates are made, says Brad German, a Freddie Mac spokesman. (Many lenders rely on the automated system.)
Those lenders won't be able to start processing applications and delivering loans until at least early February for Freddie Mac-backed mortgages and until March for Fannie Mae-backed mortgages.
That's not the worst of it, say experts: Some borrowers might not be able to qualify at all. Post continues below.
The program requires that borrowers have missed no more than one payment during the past year and none during the past six months, says Keith Gumbinger, vice president at HSH Associates, a mortgage-data firm. If they don't meet this criterion, they'll have to wait until they do in order to qualify.
Also, borrowers who've already refinanced through HARP are ineligible. "It's a nice little step, but (it's) not really going to get the housing market restarted," says Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, whose members include attorneys that represent distressed homeowners.
What's more, the program is entirely voluntary. Lenders are not required to refinance mortgages for underwater homeowners. (The government doesn't provide incentives for lenders to participate in HARP.)
Many homeowners who qualified for the existing HARP program were turned down because lenders were unwilling to take on that risk, says Gumbinger. Lender resistance may also derail some borrowers' attempts to refinance under HARP 2.0. It's up to each lender to determine whether they'll participate in the program. (Freddie Mac lists participating lenders on its website.)
That said, experts say some aspects of refinancing will get easier. For example, borrowers who apply to the same lender to whom they make their monthly payments won't have their credit scores checked, they point out, and won't be required to provide documentation proving their income. The lender will simply call the borrower's employer to confirm job status. That could come as relief for borrowers who've recently experienced a pay cut or a ding to their credit score. (Estimate your credit score for free.)
Is it worth it? Gumbinger points out that qualifying homeowners stand to save thousands of dollars over the life of the loan by refinancing to a lower rate. However, the program does not reduce mortgage principal, so even after successfully refinancing, borrowers will still remain underwater, he says.
More on SmartMoney and MSN Money:
They've already wasted hundreds of billions on several programs that have been epic failures, this will in all likelihood be another colossal failure and waste more taxpayer dollars.
Government intervention is, in large part responsible for the mess, and more government meddling is only making things worse.
The process, to included foreclosure, will have to occur before we can get this behind us. The more the government intervenes the longer it'll take to get past this.
"The government isn't the solution to the problem, the government is the problem"
We can call this "CASH FOR IDIOTS" - These people will only keep the home if the real estate market improves "SOON" to get their position of equity at 0 or above. If not they will let them go.
Where is the help for those who have real equity and got real loans?
All it does is screw things up!
The loan rates are low, but most people still can't get any. Not unless their income is high enough for the debt to loan value they now require. I believe they want it to be at 70% now. That isn't easy when your under water.
Normally...I support the president, but for this deal....it's only a farce to make the president sound like he's doing something good for us. NOT !!
Just like the republicans in congress are playing games to assist the rich too.
They vote down continuing the tax break middle class people needed because we'd have to tax the very rich in order to pay for it. God forbid...we tax rich folks who can afford it. U know....like those who earn/make over 2 mill. a year. Yes...U are rich. I'd trade with U any day.
It's a shame too, because a lot of rich folks agree to pay more taxes, except the politicians.
They don't wanna give up any of their pay raises or tax breaks or benefits in retirement. But they sure don't give a hoot if we have any left.
The state of this country is an abominable shame. I bet U every other country is all laughing at us right now. I would.

MADISON, WI (WSAU) - It may be a lot easier for veterans to handle their identification and paperwork in the near future. The Wisconsin Legislature has passed Senate Bill 45, which allows a veteran to indicate their status right on their drivers license or identification card.
State Representative John Spiros was one of many supporting the bill. He says this measure will help simplify document handling for veterans, and could even help prevent identity theft by putting important information on one ID card. "What it does is it allows veterans to go ahead and have the information put on their driver's license so that they don't have to carry around their form DD form 214 or their disability papers. This will give them one more advantage from the standpoint that they can go to the Veterans (services) or if anyone comes in contact with them, they will know they're a veteran."
Spiros says this bill had support from everyone, and simplifies things for our former service members. "Everybody was for this. It went through committee, and passed the committee without any problems and actually came through my committee, transportation. I was a cosponsor of this bill. As a former veteran, I'm proud to be part of it."
SB 45 has already passed the Senate. It's now off the Governor Scott Walker for his consideration.

Finally! A dryer that I can fit large blankets, duvets, etc without stuffing them in and then yanking them out. The quality is great...feels like the old Sears.
via sears.com
Why would a company design a dryer with a sloped top? You cannot put anything on the top of this dryer, such as folded laundry or the usual laundry room clutter. Once you turn on the dryer, whatever is on top slides down the top. I tried putting a piece of non skid rug padding on top which helps a little, but why should I have to do that? I like the fact that the dryer door opens downwards, not to the side, and the dryer does dry clothes well, but really the sloped top is SO annoying and such a big waste of folding/storage space that I wish I had purchased another model.

The SIGNAL CHIME is so faint, I could barely hear it & I was in the same room. Is there a way to make it louder or does it get louder the lounger it chimes? I wish I knew about the signal chime, because I'd never bought it! This is the only problem I have with this dryer, but just had it installed 2 days ago.

Worst dryer. If clothes are left in there for even 15 minutes after it stops, even using dryer sheets. Wrinkles set in and you have to fluff the clothes using even more electric. My older Kenmore gas dryer was the best, but we left it when we moved.

Ethical Dimensions Of Cheating Examined In Week's News
An author, Dave Tomar, speaks in the New York Times in rgards to how he wrote several lesson plans and "individualized education programs" for current and future teachers. Dave Tomar previously wrote a book about how he helped college students cheat, by serving as a ghostwrite for papers. By discussing his past and speaking about how he has helped both students and teachers, he in response, is not shocked by newsline headings that express some sort of cheating scandal. With the great stress teachers are under to get their students to pass state proficiency exams, it is no wonder they would stoop to aiding them. By changing wrong answers to the right ones during grading, shows how when under great stress, you may choose the unethical path, to save your career and assisting your students at the same time. But the true question is "Are they really helping them?". By changing their answers and possibly providing a passing grade as a result, should they technically move on to the next grade, which will be more challenging. The biggest question that arises post the publicization of these scandals in Washington, Los Angeles, and Atlanta is "Where do teachers learn this type of behavior?". The answer to this is simple: "like everybody else, teachers start off as students." This unethical decision may reflect the challenging effects of teachers and student who may feel overwhelmed , however, at no point is cheating the ethical decision.

lunar-based rut predictions were nearly spot-on for most of the whitetail breeding
activity in areas north of the 35th parallel.
D&DH readers might recall that in the October 2007 "Rut Hunting" issue of the
magazine, Alsheimer predicted the breeding phase would primarily fall within the seven-day
window of Nov. 4 through 10. He made this prediction based off the fact that the second
full moon after the autumnal equinox would occur on Oct. 26. Over the past week (May
19 to 24), many readers have reported seeing newborn fawns dot the landscape. We've
had reports all the way from New York west to the Dakotas. With a gestational period
of approximately 195 days, these does would have been bred precisely within the predicted
Alsheimer's new predictions for 2008 are revealed in our annual Whitetail Calendar.

Come May, a project resembling the Eighth Wonder of the World will be unveiled along Biscayne Bay.
Or we should say, under it.
The PortMiami Tunnel, the four-year private-public endeavor that required thousands of hours to make a reality, will finally be totally excavated, cemented and ready for vehicle traffic under the Intracoastal Waterway — extending from the MacArthur Causeway to the port and its cruise and cargo ships.
The tunnel's price tag: More than $1 billion.
As with any newborn, the only thing left to do is, well, christen it.
But what would be an appropriate name for such a game-changing project? Since it broke ground in May 2010, the tunnel has been known simply as the PortMiami Tunnel.
What a bland name for our dynamic city and our only tunnel. Even the boring machine that helped excavate the earth beneath the bay had a nickname, Harriet, a moniker given to it by Miami-Dade Girl Scouts.
The tunnel is worthy, too.
So who or what deserves the honor of having their name plastered at the entrances?
In the past, Miami-Dade and municipal officials have erred by naming streets and parks after living people, later embarrassed when an honoree suffered a downfall. The decision-makers should steer clear of this route.
Here's a suggestion from Chris Hodgkins, vice president for MAT Concessionaire LLC, the project's contractor, also known as Miami Access Tunnel. The other partners are Florida Department of Transportation, Miami-Dade, Miami and Bouygues S.A.
"When coming up with a name, we must keep in mind that this tunnel was built by the people of Miami and Miami-Dade," said Hodgkins, who liked the idea of posing the challenge to the public. "We know that 83 percent of the workers are local residents. We want to get the message out that this is an organic tunnel project."
So with that guidance in mind, let's get started.
The Miami Herald Opinion Page is launching a campaign to come up with a fitting name for the tunnel. This will be more of an exercise in the community's creativity. We can't guarantee that the powers-that-be will use our readers' suggestions, but Hodgkins said they'll take a look at the entries.
If you have a hankering for cruise ship names, Tunnel Under the Seas might do.
For South Florida history buffs, how about The Flagler Tunnel or the Julia Tuttle Tunnel? Same old, same old?
Here's an idea. The tunnel, like stadiums, could get a corporate sponsor that would finance its upkeep, giving local taxpayers a break.
Other cities already have Busch Stadium, Minute Maid Park, MetLife Stadium and Heinz Field.
How about: The Bacardi Tunnel, the Dolphins Tunnel, the Carnival Cruise Lines Tunnel?
Send us your ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com, and we will publish them and then present your suggestions to tunnel executives.
Let's give this new baby a fitting name.

Topic - SPA assessment - what did you do?
plummet - on 19 Aug 2013
So I've got my SPA assessment coming up in a few weeks. I don't know many other people who've done it, and although I've looked at the sylabus, I feel I could benefit from any real-life words of advice from those who've been there and done it. It'd be helpful to know in more detail what exactly you did on the course, and what you think are the most important things to be really slick at.
I reckon it'll be the "solving simple climbing problems" I'm most likely to slip up on. Escaping from the system and rescuing a stuck climber, someone climbing past the anchor... Any others???
Finally, my assessment is based in Aberfeldy in Perthshire. Anyone got any ideas as to which crags we'd be likely to use?

Where is Hart's error leading to goal?
Ajax is the favorite here and will win surely by at least 2-1
i see a tough game.. remember city is playin an away game,,that should help ajax and d extra pressure on mancini's men to creep into final 16..
well i guess people aren't allowed to have opinions anymore
city might lose this one too because the pressure is on them to get those 3 points and will want to attack Ajax which then leaves room for Ajax to get them on the counter

A dispute between two Tri-State Aluminum Smelters and a utility company over electric rates is getting some attention from Frankfort.
Governor Steve Beshear sent a letter to Big Rivers and Century Aluminum asking for a compromise.
Big River's Marty Littrell says Big Rivers has been in contact with Century Aluminum each day this week talking about possible solutions.
Governor Beshear's letter to the CEOs of both Century Aluminum and Big Rivers urgers both parties to find "a solution that would erode fears of rate increases and the potential for loss of employment."
Tuesday, Democratic Representative Jim Gooch filed a bill proposing a forced merger between Big Rivers and East Kentucky Power Cooperative.
Thursday, co-owner of Ace's Guns and Sporting Goods, Monty Quinn, says a large percentage of his sales comes from Century employees.
He says Century Aluminum being in operation adds so much to the tight-knight community's economy.
"When times are rough, most of them can turn around and join together and say well, we're going to get through this," says Quinn. "We're going to make things better. Better days are coming I guess I'm trying to say."

Utility fog
Utility fog (coined by Dr. John Storrs Hall in 1993[1]) is a hypothetical collection of tiny robots that can replicate a physical structure.[2][3][4][5] As such, it is a form of self-reconfiguring modular robotics.
Hall thought of it as a nanotechnological replacement for car seatbelts. The robots would be microscopic, with extending arms reaching in several different directions, and could perform three-dimensional lattice reconfiguration. Grabbers at the ends of the arms would allow the robots (or foglets) to mechanically link to one another and share both information and energy, enabling them to act as a continuous substance with mechanical and optical properties that could be varied over a wide range. Each foglet would have substantial computing power, and would be able to communicate with its neighbors.
In the original application as a replacement for seatbelts, the swarm of robots would be widely spread-out, and the arms loose, allowing air flow between them. In the event of a collision the arms would lock into their current position, as if the air around the passengers had abruptly frozen solid. The result would be to spread any impact over the entire surface of the passenger's body.
While the foglets would be micro-scale, construction of the foglets would require full molecular nanotechnology. Each bot would be in the shape of a dodecahedron with 12 arms extending outwards. Each arm would have four degrees of freedom. When linked together the foglets would form an octet truss. The foglets' bodies would be made of aluminum oxide rather than combustible diamond to avoid creating a fuel air explosive.[5]
Hall and his correspondents soon realised that utility fog could be manufactured en masse to occupy the entire atmosphere of a planet and replace any physical instrumentality necessary to human life. By foglets exerting concerted force an object or human could be carried from location to location. Virtual buildings could be constructed and dismantled within moments, enabling the replacement of existing cities and roads with farms and gardens. While molecular nanotech might also replace the need for biological bodies, utility fog would remain a useful peripheral with which to perform physical engineering and maintenance tasks.
In science fiction[edit]
As early as in 1964, the idea of robotic swarms has been described by Stanislaw Lem in the novel The Invincible, which is set on a planet where the ecology has been taken over by micro-robotic "swarms", evolved in the process of robotic wars and which can congregate in larger structures in response to threats.
In the 1982 novel Observation on the Spot, also by Stanislaw Lem, the matter of the planet Luzania is fully saturated with intelligent nanobots called "quickies". They create the "ethicsphere", which protects the inhabitants from any harm, but also from inflicting harm on other individuals.
More recent science fiction novels have explored the possible consequences of the emergence of this technology, e.g., Michael Crichton's Prey (2002), or incorporated this technology as part of the story universe, e.g. Hannu Rajaniemi's The Quantum Thief (2010).
In the postcyberpunk comic series Transmetropolitan, there is a race of beings known as foglets. Through a complicated technical process, their consciousness is transferred into a cloud of billions of foglet robots—a process they see as stripping away their biological limitations and leaving them with only personal amusement. The now-vacant body is then used as fuel to jump-start the foglet. (Issue 6 page 19) They can spread themselves so thin they seem invisible, and come together as a pink cloud of dust with digital faces when they wish to be seen. (Issue 6 and beyond)
A suggestion was made by Jim Al-Khalili that the chameleonic external surface of a TARDIS could be composed of utility fog in the programme "How To Make A Tardis", broadcast as part of the nostalgic Doctor Who Night on BBC2 late in 1999.[citation needed]
