Rumney family unbowed by fire that destroyed home

"Everyone's healthy, that's the key," Charles Buckley said with a grin. "We lost some material things, but we're Christians and Christ is still on the throne, so we'll be fine."
Buckley and his wife were away from the family's three-story, 5,300-square-foot home at 500 Depot St. when firefighters said a fire in the home's chimney spread to the attic. Buckley's wife was out of state, attending the funeral of her sister, and Charles Buckley was elsewhere in town.
Kristen, 15, said she was sleeping when her sister Shaina, 18, woke her up at about 7 a.m. Saturday.
"The smoke alarms were going off and the neighbors were calling saying the house was on fire," she said. "I could see the smoke in the house as we got outside."
Both fled the house, making sure they got the family's dog and two cats were safe with them. The family hamster died in the fire.
Family and friends comforted the sisters and her father as the house burned.
"I didn't realize the whole house was going to burn up, or I would have gotten more from inside before I left," Kristen Buckley said.
The family is living in a home with the help of friends. They were loaned several laptops by a local business, which will help Charles Buckley keep his engineering business going.
The house was fully insured, Buckley said.
"Now it's just a matter of my wife picking a new house plan, however long that takes," he said. "We'll get the new one built quickly."

Longboat Key - Key Real Estate
Date: April 30, 2009
by: Kent Chetlain | Guest Columnist
In December 1971, Edward Ball, chief trustee of the $1 billion Alfred I. duPont Testamentary Trust, commented on the state of the then-depressed stock market.
"From watching this market the last few months, it looks to me like it could be characterized as a 'yo-yo market' — it just goes up and down," he said.
From this observer's view, the present state of the keys' realty market can also be likened to that yo-yo, rollercoaster-like, stock-market observation of Ball back in 1971.
Since March 2, weekly real-estate sales recordings on the keys have gone from five to seven to 10, then back down to four; then, back up to 11, down again to four and, finally, up to 10 for this recording week of April 13 through April 17. In the last seven weeks, there were 51 sales total, of which 11 were for more than $1 million.
Sleepy Lagoon
In the largest of the 10 sales in the third week of April, Dawna and John McDonough paid $2 million to Richard and Lois Snyder, 760 Old Compass Road, for their beachfront home at 6603 Gulfside Road in the Sleepy Lagoon subdivision.
The 3,051-square-foot home with three bedrooms and two baths occupies the southwestern portion of Lot 38, covering almost a half acre, with 103 feet on the Gulf beach. The house was constructed in 1974. Of the 10 sales, this was the only one on the Manatee County side of the Key.
Country Club Shores
The second largest of the week's transactions occurred in the 420-lot Country Club Shores, Unit IV. John Knutsen Jr., 97 S. Washington Drive, St. Armands Key, sold his four-year-old, three-bedroom, three-bath waterfront home at 580 Putting Green Lane to Donald Ray Robinson, of Madisonville, Ky., for $1.5 million. The 3,586-square-foot home was built in 2005 and has a swimming pool. Knutsen paid $1,773,800 for the home in 2007.
There was a second sale in Country Club Shores at 1155 Bogey Lane in Unit V, in which Susan and Timothy Overby bought a half-interest and Kimberly Dellosso purchased the other half for $670,000 total. The buyers were all from Colleyville, Texas, and the seller was Joeph Deglman, 700 John Ringling Blvd.
The home has three bedrooms and three baths with 2,045 square feet of living area. It was constructed in 1966. Deglman paid $445,000 for the home in September 2000.
Longboat Key Towers
Over at the Key's oldest beachfront high-rise — the 88-unit Longboat Key Towers, 601 Longboat Club Road — Jon Dokmo and Leanne Johnson, of South Barrington, Ill., sold their Unit S-703 to Denise and Douglas Burnetti, of Lakeland, for $775,000. The two-bedroom, two-bath apartment has 1,458 square feet of air-conditioned living space and was constructed in 1970.
Fairway Bay II
Lawrence John Kidd, from Jackson, Ohio, bought Unit 452 in Building M–4 at Fairway Bay II in the 288-unit bayfront complex. He paid $325,000 to Thalia Dorwick, of Oakland, Calif., for the two-bedroom, two-bath condo at 2020 Harbourside Drive. Built by Arvida Corp. in 1984, the apartment has 1,192 square feet of living area.
Beth and Brian Deaner, of Deer Park, N.Y., sold their Unit B-503 at Portobello condominium, 3240 Gulf of Mexico Drive, to Mary Ann and Henry Laraia, of Ilion, N.Y., for $270,000.
The two-bedroom, two-bath condo was constructed in 1975 and has 1,260 square feet of living space. Portobello has 39 units on its bay side and 30 on the Gulf for a total 69 units.
Longboat Key Club Moorings
Joseph Martindell Jr., 681 Old Compass Road, sold his boat slip 4 on Pier R at the 294-slip Longboat Key Club Moorings Marina to Shakeel Mozaffar, of Ocala, for $161,000.
Bird Key
Donna and David Wollert, 321 N. Blvd. of Presidents, bought the Bird Key home at 323 Bob White Way from Ivey McFarlin, heir of the estate of Henry McFarlin, South Pasadena, for $655,000.
The four-bedroom, three-bath home was constructed in 1975 with 2,708 square feet of living area and a swimming pool.
In a second transaction on Bird Key, Rochelle and Donald Freed, of Northport, N.Y., sold their home at 516 S. Spoonbill Way to Marilyn and Robert Radakovic for $520,000. The three-bedroom, two-bath home was built in 1965 and has a swimming pool and 1,895 square feet of living area.
Lido Harbour
Janice Roberts, of Indianapolis, purchased Unit 105 in the Arlington House of Lido Harbour condominium, 1900 Ben Franklin Drive, for $550,000. The three sellers each sold their one-third interest in the condo.
They were Edward Esposito II, Daniel Esposito and Sally Gibson, all of Denver.
The two-bedroom, two-bath apartment has 981 square feet of living area and was constructed 1967.

We made the annual trip with our grandson to see Santa this week. He is three and a half years old and really fascinated with Santa from a distance. There was much debate about the outcome of the endeavor. Last year was more of a wrestling match with mom near Santa than sitting in his lap and talking with him about desired Christmas gifts. As we waited for Santa Claus to arrive there was much anticipation and when he walked up our grandson was obviously very taken with him – from a distance. This year he was much more aware of the need to talk with Santa to ensure receipt of the desired bounty on Christmas morning, but as we stood in line he was adamant saying "I don't want to talk to him." He was a little scared of Santa. He also wanted Santa to know what he wanted for Christmas.
Leadership begins with self. We all experience times when there is something we need or want but there is risk in pursuing it. It can be either an opportunity or a responsibility with clear potential benefits. Being an adult does not remove the human desire to avoid that which we anticipate will be unpleasant, or beyond that risky. It is true that levels of risk and the unpleasant are different for each of us, but at some point we all face both. It can be in professional or personal life, but it will occur. When those times arise we have to make a choice. Will we remain in perceived safety and ignore either the opportunity or the responsibility because we will not face the avoidance that is within us, or will we lead our self through the internal challenges?
The greatest leadership challenge is leading me well. As 2011 ends, we consider all the potential 2012 holds. The expression I hear to describe its potential is uncertainty. Uncertainty does not engender confidence in decision making for most of us, but decisions will be made. At some level most decisions begin with determining what we as individuals will or will not do. Where will our decisions take us if fear and avoidance are their primary drivers? Our grandson did sit on Santa's lap much to our surprise. He seemed pleased with himself after he had. That may not seem like a big deal to us as adults, but I watched him lead himself through the internal resistance he faced with the support of those around him and enjoy the result. It was a great reminder of the joy found in accomplishment. What results will you enjoy because you lead yourself well in 2012?

Riot Thoughts
1. "This is criminality, pure and simple" - D Cameron. Theresa May said something very similar. Criminality, maybe, but not very simple. Criminals are not the sole source of criminality. It can be manufactured in wholesale quantities by the state and applied to sections of the population who might not actually be directly involved in criminal activities. I think most of us who live in the centre of London are aware of large groups of young people who exist in a semi-criminalised state - they are essentially close to being illegal for who they are, simply because of their age, their background, how they dress, where they live and how they carry themselves, before any crime or "antisocial behaviour" is actually perpetrated. These young people face almost unimaginable restrictions on their freedom of movement. They are policed by displacement, being moved on. The fabric of the city is increasingly built to deter and exclude them - "mosquito" sonic alarms drive them out of shops and they are unwelcome in shopping centres and privatised public space like Spitalfields. ASBOs operated spatially, banning people from certain areas. Perhaps as a consequence of this displacement and exclusion, they have become ferociously territorial, and their movement is further confined by gang allegiances and nasty little "postcode wars". (Something I've touched on before: 1, 2, 3)
2. Yesterday the containment efforts failed. At around 5pm, watching the live coverage of the start of the night's violence on Mare Street, it struck me that things were kicking off in broad daylight. The disturbances on Sunday seemed opportunistic, "copycat" - people taking advantage of the overstretched police to launch a relatively minor spree of theft and destruction. On Monday, this "opportunism" had become a strategy. A daylight confrontation meant open defiance of the police, not simply taking advantage of darkness and overstretch. It was as if, all of a sudden, groups across London realised that the police could not be everywhere.
3. It looked as if the rioters were revelling in their mobility, flowing from place to place without pattern but simply because they could. It looked like a kind of sudden freedom. Call it mob rule, call it Hobbesian anarchy; condemn these robberies, the arson, the assaults on passers-by, the destruction of small businesses. All those things were disgusting. But the kids doing them were clearly dizzy with a kind of liberation. The visible breakdown of the rule of law frightened me because I benefit from the rule of law. So do most people. But this group who wanted to rip it down, who were boasting of their desire to fight with the police, who were setting fires and snatching phones - this group clearly has a different conception of what that rule means, and (whatever "community leaders " and our political class might claim) it isn't a tiny nucleus of habitual criminals.
4. People marvelled at the stupidity of people setting fire to their own neighbourhoods. And because this behaviour cannot be simply comprehended it is called "mindless", and the rioters are called "animals". Attacking your own neighbourhood by fire and attacking your own neighbours as animals are cousin impulses, in my opinion.
5. We have done our best to make these people, our neighbours, the angry ones, go away. Now more efforts will be made to get them back in their zones, and move those zones further out into the periphery, but we're only storing up more trouble for the future. After three nights of fire, and one frightening night of chaos, people are screaming for punitive policing, which can be understood. But once the situation is back under control, punitive policing is only going to store up more trouble for the future, too. How to break the cycle? I don't know. But I know that the solution will be expensive, it will take time, and it will be hard to reduce to a slogan as simple as "bring back the birch". Difficult and complicated it may be, but we are going to have to do it eventually.
6. Those who are calling for the army to be sent in have taken leave of their senses. Unless we really are going to solidify this failure, to carve it into stone, and exclude the angry ones from the citizenship altogether, to declare them to be something more than criminals: our enemies, the enemies of the state. I don't want to live in a city in a state where that happens.
7. Fortitude now; later, along with everything else that will follow these events, let's have some curiosity, a spirit of inquiry, of exploration. Something terrible has happened in our city (and may yet continue to happen). It's damnable, deplorable, heartbreaking. But it is also extraordinary, unusual, bizarre. Slamming the door on it without studying and understanding it is a dangerous and short-term tactic. Allowing yourself to feel nothing but anger, and doing nothing but lashing out ... isn't that a little mindless? It would be nice, and useful, if we could ask London "why" without already having an answer in mind.
8. Stay safe out there.

When you start to get to that in-between season - not quite winter, not quite spring - it can be hard to know what to wear. Boots are always a good bet for footwear, but what to do if you're simply tired of your trusty black knee-highs and want to invest in something that will put a little more spring in your step? Buy something with holes in it, of course!
We're talking about the newest seasonal transition craze, perforated boots. We know, it sounds kind of odd, but when you consider the engineering that goes into them (perforation is "a hole or series of holes punched or bored through something, especially a hole in a series, separating sections in a sheet or roll") it's easy to see why they end up looking to fashion forward. Different boots offer different styles and levels of perforation, with some more delicate than others.
Our favorite is this perforated flat boot from Neiman Marcus, which is so chic we can hardly stand it! There are a multitude of other options as well to fit your specific in-between needs.

My 4 1/2 year old daughter is in her second year at MCPH. We did a lot of research and toured many schools before making the decision to send her to Montessori Center, and I'm so glad we did! The teachers are caring and understanding, with many years of experience. This is a safe and engaging environment where the child is able to progress at their own pace, while being guided by the teacher. My daughter loves to go to school every day, and is consistently progressing. I definitely recommend this school
One of Honolulu's best kept preschool secrets! This school takes a personal and individual approach to teaching, caring and educating its kids. My eldest currently attends (her 2nd year and her sister will attend once she is of age) and has grown and matured immensely from the loving direction and kind learning environment. Whether utilizing the classic Montessori tools, giving demonstrations or assisting in the daily jobs, the teachers are always one step ahead to keep the students growing and progressing. My child feels safe so she can explore new things and perfect her educational milestones. It's been an amazing experience thus far and its an amazing preschool!
I have had two children go through the Montessori Center of Pearl Harbor. My oldest went there for two and a half years while my youngest was only able to go there for a year before we transferred out of state. I can not tell you what a wonderful school this is for both the children and the parents. The teachers are thoughtful and engaging and the children just blossom under them. If you are looking for a preschool, I would recommend the Montessori Center of Pearl Harbor.
My daughter is attending her 2nd year at MCPH and now my son has started and we couldn't be happier! When we first started looking at area preschools, were amazed to find a Montessori school that was nearby and affordable. Very organized, as is expected with this program. Friendly, kind, and patient teachers that the children adore! Great outdoor space too. They also offer a summer program where the kids learn all about Hawaii. I love that this is a small school where my kids get lots of attention. And the security it offers being on base is great. It has also been great as a parent, many of us get together regularly at the park, and at parent meetings so that we can help out any way that we can. I highly recommend this school to anybody looking for a quality preschool for their child.
I am the parent of a 3 1/2 year old boy who attends the Montessori Center of Pearl Harbor. We are active duty military (Air Force) and my son is the youngest of three children.This is the best preschool that my children have ever attended. While the cost might seem high at first, it is actually very reasonable by Hawaii standards (same cost for us at the Hickam AFB child development center).My son is in a class of 8 students with two teachers--an unbelievable ratio. His main teacher, Miss Sandy, has been teaching Montessori for over 30 years, and Miss Liz (who teaches the older class of 4-5 year olds) has the same amount of experience. The third teacher is a young teacher who adds the perfect touch of creativity and modern techniques.The school practices the traditional Montessori principles with all of the old school materials and offers instruction in math, science, language arts, reading, sensory and home life.There is a lovely covered outdoor play area with water tables, art stations, etc., as well as plenty of playground equipment. My son loves this school and his classmates and teachers and looks forward to school everyday. I give this school the highest recommendation.

The trolley was very close to our hotel - the Hilton Boston Downtown - Faneuil Hall. It was easy to walk there and pick up tickets. It was very convenient to get off and be picked up again and the trolley guides were very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend it as a great way to get to many areas of Boston.
Doing what: Boston Hop-on Hop-off Trolley Tour
I am very disappointed with this tour and would not recommend. After enduring an 8 hour snooze fest with an unfriendly guide, we asked to be dropped at Faneuil hall. The guide had the driver drop off all other guests and then said he couldn't take us the extra two blocks.

As a sequel to my previous post, I've always wanted to use the metadata embedded in a file (which is usually correct on most downloaded music) to fix the filenames of an arbitrary number of files. Well, I took a little time today and figured it out.
First, I prefer working with context-sensitive methods via Windows Explorer, although there's no reason you couldn't build a wrapper that edited the filename of every mp3 on your hard drive. So I look for Windows Explorer, and listen to a keyboard shortcut or extra mouse button press. It loops through the filenames of the items on the clipboard and performs an action on each one.

Transparent, Integrated Reporting for Stronger Sustainability Strategies
In recent years, the corporate responsibility community has discussed integrated reporting strategies that combine traditional financial performance with companies' sustainability data. While many companies are now publishing sustainability reports, very few have adopted an integrated reporting approach, which can provide a stronger, more transparent account of how corporate responsibility is folded into a company's overall strategy and operations.

Responsible Growth in Latin American Agriculture
Latin America has a wealth of natural resources that present unique opportunities for a number of industries, including agriculture, extractives, and health care, which has led to strong economic growth in the region. At the same time, the benefits of this growth have not been distributed evenly, and the threats of environmental degradation, decline in biodiversity, and the exclusion of local communities are very real.

WASHINGTON—Just two days after their historic impeachment vote, key moderate House Republicans yesterday expressed misgivings about the ultimate remedy endorsed by the impeachment articles they approved -- the removal of President Clinton from office.
And in a show of regret, they prepared to formally implore the Senate to instead consider a sharp rebuke of the president that would spare the country from a divisive Senate trial.
Buoyed by soaring public approval, Clinton sought yesterday to prove that he can lead the country under the cloud of impeachment, even as the Senate moved toward a landmark trial to determine whether he should be removed from office.
Continued public support for his presidency, White House aides say, depends on Clinton's ability to project leadership in the face of a grievous threat to his tenure.
The developing White House strategy is to capitalize on the public's undiminished approval of Clinton's steward-ship despite his impeachment. To that end, the president plans to stay publicly engaged in voter-friendly issues such as Social Security, health care and housing for the poor.
Far from hunkering down in the Oval Office, Clinton traveled yesterday to a Washington soup kitchen and then to a service at Arlington National Cemetery to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. And last night, he and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, feted the White House press corps at a Winter Wonderland on the White House South Lawn.
Tomorrow morning, Clinton will journey to Baltimore to visit the Boys and Girls Club on East Fayette Street and announce grants to fight homelessness. The president had planned to announce the grants in his weekly radio address last Saturday. But White House aides decided that Clinton should travel out of Washington for his first major public event since the House impeached him on Saturday.
Yesterday, Clinton made scant mention of his looming Senate trial.
"I hope everyone in the country will take some time to think about other people and do something in the spirit of the season like this," he said at the soup kitchen when asked if he had a message for Congress.
White House aides have called on Vice President Al Gore to step forward as the administration's forceful voice on the impeachment issue.
"Saturday's vote in the U.S. House of Representatives was wrong -- wrong for our Constitution and wrong for America," Gore declared yesterday. "But this much should be clear: President Clinton and I will continue to focus all of our energies on the business of the American people."
Yesterday's most striking development was the letter from Reps. Sherry Boehlert and Benjamin Gilman of New York, Mike Castle of Delaware and Jim Greenwood of Pennsylvania, which they prepared to send to Trent Lott, the Senate majority leader. They released its text last night, and plan to send it today.
"We are not convinced, and do not want our votes interpreted to mean, that we view removal from office as the only reasonable conclusion of this case," they wrote, although the articles of impeachment for which they voted each concluded: "Wherefore, William Jefferson Clinton, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial and removal from office."
They argued in their letter that while it was "questionable" whether the House had authority to deal with censure, the Senate clearly "does have the authority and the precedents to consider a range of options. Those options should include a tough censure proposal, which would impose a fine and block any pardon."
The four voted Saturday against allowing consideration of a Democratic move to allow a House vote on censure.
Another House Republican who voted for impeachment, W. J. Tauzin of Louisiana, was consulting with colleagues yesterday about asking the Senate to avert a trial. His spokesman, Ken Johnson, said, "The feeling is the president paid a terrible price for his actions. The Clinton presidency has been indelibly stained by impeachment."
Even studied nonchalance could not distance Clinton from the ominous prospect of the second presidential impeachment trial in history. White House lawyers met to review any legal avenues available to head off such a spectacle, and Gore appealed to the Senate to put the Lewinsky scandal behind the nation at last.
"I do hope that the United States Senate will rise to this moment, as it so often does, to be the voice of reason, deliberation and healing that America needs," Gore said yesterday.
"I hope the Senate will, therefore, forge a fair, bipartisan compromise to end this matter promptly and to end it in a way that will respect the will and the wisdom of the American people."

Bigamy Investigation and Arrest
Date of News Release: 08/22/2011
(Elizabethtown, Ky.) -- On August 11, 2011 the Vine Grove Police Department served an arrest warrant on Angela K. Christensen for the offense of Bigamy. The affiant of this arrest warrant was Detective Jeremy Mabe of the Kentucky State Police, Post #4 Elizabethtown. Christensen was most recently married to a Christopher Lee Ferguson on July 10, 2011 in Hardin County, KY. Detective Mabe's investigation revealed that Christensen is also married to a Natale Romanczak of Texas and a Brian Soarling of New York. There is no evidence that Christensen had ever divorced these two individuals, or had reason to believe that she was divorced. Angela Christensen was also married to a Jerry D. Jackson of Pasadena, TX. However, Mr. Jackson was reported deceased as of March 7, of 2011.
According to Kentucky Revised Statute, bigamy is the following:
530.010 Bigamy -- Defense.
- A person is guilty of bigamy when he:
- Purports to marry another person knowing he has a husband or wife or knowing the other person has a husband or wife; or
- Cohabits in this state after a bigamous marriage in another state.
- It shall be a defense to bigamy that the accused believed he was legally eligible to remarry.
- Bigamy is a Class D felony.

Gayle Ruzicka says that same-sex couples don't need a marriage license, or even a civil union, because "a committed relationship doesn't take a license." (Opponents of same-sex marriage vow to continue fight to Supreme Court, June 26)
Why don't you prove that, Gayle? Be an example of your own inspired word! Civilly divorce your husband (you can keep your religious union—we're not talking about religious recognition here) and exist in a "marriage" that's not legally recognized by the state of Utah.

Because if my husband and I don't need a marriage license for our committed relationship, then neither do you.

They look a lot like Shiloh. But as a mom of twins, please don't ask which one is cuter! I have fraternal boys, and one is ahem, a little more cute. But I wouldn't want people asking or telling me, they could hear and I don't want my little twin to feel bad. He's cute in his own way, for some reason he looks nothing like DH or I or his brothers, he looks like DH's mom and her side of the family. Poor little thing has the personality too, poor guy.

Massive Ubuntu Linux desktop deployment at lower cost
Boot easily more than 100 workstations from one low-end server in single read-only image over network. This saves time and money.
For over 10 years, the Mathematical Institute (MI), Leiden University has been a Linux-oriented organization, using various flavours of Linux on both desktops and servers. The setup used thin clients and terminal servers. In 2009 the end users reported that the thin client and terminal server setup was becoming increasingly slow and unresponsive. This document details the steps taken to significantly improve performance and reliability whilst sharply reducing the total cost of ownership. The main goals were tasked with finding new solutions that improve desktop performance for end users and decrease the amount of work per desktop for administrators. The selected solution was found in combining known technologies like networked booting, a read-only system disk image with live-cd techniques and network attached storage. The Pixie Project derived its name from PXEboot, a system that enables a desktop to boot over the network instead of starting from a hard disk. In early 2010 this setup was tested and deployed. A user satisfaction review showed increased satisfaction after the deployment. The Pixie Project solution was found to be highly scalable, easy to maintain and highly customizable. The complete approach has been documented on the Ubuntu Wiki.
The below paper is mainly intented for decision makers (Chapt. 2, non-technical) and system administrators (Chapt. 3, technical), but may be interesting for a wider audience as well.

Favorite Find Friday: Sonia Kashuk Completely Organized Makeup Bag
Written on November 15, 2013 at 9:00 am , by Molly Ritterbeck
This is the time of year when my schedule gets crazy hectic (I'm sure you agree). I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Berlin, Germany (traveling's fun but stressful) and with the holidays right around the corner, deadlines get tighter, the calendar fills up and getting ready on the run is not out of the ordinary. Half of the battle is just being organized and for makeup junkies like us, that can be tough. But I found a little lifesaver amidst the chaos: Sonia Kashuk Completely Organized Makeup Bag ($15, target.com). It comes in three different sizes (grande, classic and petite) and looks like a chic makeup bag on the outside, but it's like having a personal organizer on the inside. The multiple-sized compartments neatly hold all of your essentials—from your cell phone and keys to makeup brushes and eyeliners. This pouch can be tossed and turned yet it still keeps everything in place. Plus, it's made of a stain-resistant material so when one of my favorite lipsticks broke in it this morning (wah!), I just wiped it down with a damp cloth and it was as good as new. A definite must-have for any girl on-the-go.

Re: UEFA Champions/Europa League 2012-13 Thread
Mancini is a proven flop in Europe. I think that's the point you are missing, Kiz. It maybe the club's only second time in Europe, but players like Aguero, Dzeko, Nasri, Kompany, Clichy, Silva, Balotelli, Garcia, Maicon, Kolo have tasted Champions League before they moved to City. Yaya and Tevez have actually won it. So it's not this completely new experience.
Problem is Mancini's tactics in Europe are terrible. Unlike in the Premier League, teams in Europe keep possession a lot. You can't just expect to turn up and blast them out of the water from the start. Especially teams with pedigree like Ajax. Mancini keep underestimating these teams. Don't even get me started on him switching to a back 3 with Clichy as a centre back and then just throwing on all his strikers and hoping for the best. How the hell is that managing a team? I'm sorry, but he's fucking awful and City need someone better.
His Serie A accomplishments came because Inter were the only big team that did not get busted therefore they could buy all the strong players and create an unrivalled squad in that league. And last year he nearly lost the Premier League with by far the best squad in the league. I get that City fans will always hold him dear to their heart, as he did deliver them their first league title in yonks. But he isn't any good. He's tactically inept.
You can blame the players all you want, but it's the manager's job to find out the issue and sort it. It's his job to motivate them and get them playing well. If you have all these superstars and they aren't playing well, then the manager is not doing his job.
If no miracle happens, City need to start looking for someone new for next season.

It's all Greek to Me is a Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus RPG for
multi-para and novella role-players. Using the world Rick Riordan has
set up for us, we explore plausible and unique story-lines without
straying too far from the canon story-line. The RPG is forum based to
avoid deletion and writing limitations. Each member will have access to
his/her own board which branches out into sub-boards to replicate the
feel of a 'profile'.
Canon characters are loved; from Demi-Gods,
Gods, and other Mythological beings. Originals are also welcomed as
long as they don't disrupt canon.
Not only will you find
socially entertaining story-lines, but epic ones as well. There will be

Robbery 1st Degree (Home Invasion) Investigation in Graves County, KY
Date of News Release: 03/17/2006
(Graves County, KY) - On 3-17-06, Kentucky State Police 911 center received a call from a residence on KY. 940 reporting a home invasion. Troopers Jones and Patterson arrived and spoke with the 95 year-old victim who stated a man knocked on her door trying to sell her a piece of linoleum. When she declined the offer, the man along with two others forced their way into her home. One of the men took the linoleum and wrapped it around her and her wheelchair attempting to immobilize her while they spread throughout her home looking for valuables. The only thing taken was her purse that contained an undetermined amount of cash and personal items. The men were described as follows: 1. white male, approximately 6' 2", large build wearing work clothes and a hat, 2. white male, short and stocky in his late teens and 3. White male possibly in his early 20's wearing shorts and a ball cap. The three men fled in a large white 4-door car. The victim was not injured. Investigators will be comparing this case to another home invasion that occurred on February 10th in McCracken County. Anyone with information can contact Kentucky State Police at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state) or 856-3721. The investigation is continuing by Trooper Jerry Jones.

The Story Behind Your Stuff
Often when we go into someone's home, there are a few pieces that immediately catch our eye. We wonder where they got them. And, quite often, there's a story behind them that's as interesting as the pieces themselves, whether it's a foray into a strange deserted neighborhood in Los Angeles, a trip to a Bali or Morocco, a connection to one of our favorite French sculptors, a perilous drive with a piece of furniture strapped to the roof or something more.
Ask us where we got our couches and it's a long crazy tale that involves our cousin getting married, a fake wedding registry, multiple addresses, months of waiting for our "wedding date" to pass and passing off our Grandmother's engagement ring as our own. It's one of the many stories that our home contains. What about you? What are the stories in your home?
15 Comments
It's not a huge elaborate story but when my husband was deployed to Iraq last year, on their way home his unit stopped in Kuwait where they've a large game center complete with billiards tables (of which my husband adores). Well, he played and won so many games against other soldiers while waiting for his flight home, that he was able to buy a huge silk Persian rug I had been jokingly asking for with the winnings.
the eight foot long, half a foot thick, 500lb table my husband and i bought in bali on our honeymoon. a romantic, novel, beautiful slice of the lengthwise center of a tree and keepsake of our first journey as a married couple. and a beast.
you try picking up this thing wrapped indiana jones style in wood crates at customs, have it forklifted into your dad's toyota tacoma, and then try to unload it with your husband at home! it was the first test of our marriage! once we managed to get it out of the bed of the truck, we unwrapped the top to find it COVERED in variegated shades of mold. there were tears. after much sanding, bleaching and sun-soaking, the table was safe to bring in-doors...mind you, it takes three grown men, at least, to move the table top for any work done on it.
she now resides happily in our kitchen dining nook. we're going to use the bench we had made to go with her as our bar top.
Two paintings my grandpa did before he died, one landscape and one portrait. These are just a few in his vast collection. The portrait was done in 1960 and is fun to tell about. Apparently a family in our hometown, just a farming couple who spent very little money on anything, commissioned it from him. They gave him a picture from a magazine, a very contemporary and chic lookin' gal outside of a skating rink. Neither my grandpa or grandma could believe that this couple had approached him with this request because they lived so frugally.
After he died, they gave the painting back to my grandmother. A lot of people who had commissioned his art did that, which sort of surprised all of us but is a really nice gesture.
I inadvertantly peed on an antique decoy duck of my mom's, so she gave it to me as a christmas gift (cleaned). it's now above my toilet, I had the shelf specially installed so it would fit.
Thanks ec05, I just accidentally peed laughing.
Since most of my treasures come from flea markets or Home Goods type places, all my stories are the illusions created that I actually have traveled as much as I wish I had! (I don't make them up, I let people wonder...)
I have a lovely desk built from butcher block and plumbing pipe. My husband and I built it together when we had no other furniture to speak of. It has a place of honor in our now fully furnished apartment.
I also have a beautifully carved, gilt mirror in my bedroom. It was a wedding present to my grandparents. My grandmother treasured it for as long as she lived. My mother displayed it for 15 years, and now it is in my bedroom. I love it.
kipling, you have a tree cookie table?!?! I am three shades of green with jealousy!
My best "stuff" story has to be for my enormous umbrella tree (named Chuck - and seriously enormous, about 7 feet tall and probably a branch-spread of ~16 square feet!), which I had to rescue from my highschool art class before my art instructor killed it. He was retiring and moving away, and the man who'd made the lovely pot the plant was growing in wanted his pottery back. ... but not the plant.
What interesting things you learn from eccentric art teachers... not only was Chuck the umbrella tree named after the potter who'd created the pot (whose first name is Charles), BUT when I'd been doing a sketch of Chuck in class and decided to re-frame the image, cutting off a good portion of the bottom (including most of the pot), the insight my art teacher provided was thus: "sometimes there is such a thing as too much pot!"
Oh c'mon. You cannot tell us that much and not give us the full story of the couches.
A stuff story.. I found a skeleton of a curvy antique wooden chair on craigslist for $25. I drove to the seller's house to pick it up. We ended up having tea and discussing her impending move back to Sweden. I was offered her 2 siamese cats, but had to decline due to the fact that I already possessed a cat. I transported the chair back to my apartment and re-upholstered it a few weeks later with a floral patterned black velvet. A few months later, I had to move and my cheapskate father insisted on "helping" me. A flatbed trailer stacked high with antique furniture. The very thought makes me nauseous. Somehow, one of my chair's back legs got broken!! I glued it back together. From this, I learned that I should always have a small emergency moving fund stashed away. Now the chair is with my husband and I in Fort Knox, Kentucky. Next year it will come with us to Georgia, and after that accompany us to Germany.
I had to laugh when I saw this blog.EVERYTHING in my home has a story. When people come over for the first time and want a tour, it takes awhile to get through the house because I feel the need to tell the stories. I wouldn't change a thing. It's the stories that make my house a home.
Above my desk I have a few things with stories that make me smile-- a big framed self-portrait by my (then) seven-year-old niece (she's the next Matisse! The picture is big and colorful and has that hilarious haunted look of staring too much in a mirror!), a "cirtifacate for Best tuterer of forever!" scrawled onto math scratch paper by one of my tutoring students before I moved overseas (which I also framed... I love how heartfelt and yet a little half-assed it is :) and one of those mall-photo-booth pictures of my sister and I with our niece. I also have a picture of me and my husband that has special meaning for us, and a painting of Biblical Esther that I got from a folk-artist in Tsfat, Israel, which inspires a novel I'm writing...
But that said, are those planter boxes inside the wire baskets in the desk/shelving unit up above? I think I'm in love! What a clever organizational idea!
We fell in love of a big Mobiloil sign, abandoned in the very high part of a covered parking area, where the car of my boyfriend's aunt stay.
When we asked to the owner he said "That's the old wall of a former gas station, if you want to climb so high, the sign is yours..."
Twenty minutes later we brought our treasure at home! :-D
I have a napping man in a huge sombrero,about 4" tall, that I bought my first time to TJ. And a beautiful green vase with a twisted neck and a brass plague with brass grapes on it, which I bought the first time I went to Ensenada. I have a few frogs, all in different poses,that I think are just too cute. I have owl coasters, and once had a huge multicolored ceramic owl that could be used as a door stop. And I had a huge "greened" vase that I got for $5. While these items do not have a "story", they remind me of where I've visited, or how frugal I am, and what a great bargain hunter I am! I also like colored bottles, but have to remind people that i just collect the bottles, I dont drink the alcohol that used to be in them.lol
ec05, speaking of pee.....I bought the cutest little table once, about 15" x 15" for $5 (the magic price for me to open my wallet). I stashed it in my car and continued my errands. When I got back to my car, I noticed this unusual smell. Well, I washed it, sprayed it, aired it out, painted it black, and made it beautiful with copper scrolls on the edges. However, during and after all that, I still could smell that horrible smell.But no one seemed to smell it but me. Some said maybe a dog peed on it. If that's the case, they could use that stuff as nerve gas. So, now, I check out my $5 bargains.

Acknowledging of the popularity of the Hot Spring and its potential for building tribal revenues, tribal leaders in 1889 leased the Spring and the land surrounding it to settlers for three years in exchange for an annual rental of $150.00, land improvements, and use of the Hot Spring waters during non-business hours. A rustic bathhouse, described by James Smeaton Chase as a "rickety little hut," was constructed on the site. The lease of the Spring was later renewed for a period of ten years.
The leasing of the Hot Spring and other tribal assets were savvy business decisions that would prove to be valuable precedents for the general development of the tribe in the years to come. Land leasing, business development, and tourism laid the foundation for the City of Palm Springs and continue to support the tribe to this day. Business decisions of this type were a continuation of the traditional role of Cahuilla leaders, which was to make economic decisions and utilize land to its best advantage on behalf of their communities. In traditional times, elders advised how to properly utilize an environment that was unpredictable and continually changing. Their ability to apply these traditional skills within the context of a new socio-economic reality would serve them well.

Last night Aliph unveiled their latest Jawbone Bluetooth headset, the Prime. Interesting, because Plantronics just officially launched 'their most advanced headset' to date. Is it me or do I sense a little competition going down? Anyway, we actually saw the Plantronics Voyager PRO a few days early due to a Best Buy mishap which enabled a few customers to buy the Bluetooth headset before its official launch date, today. At the time though, we didn't have a set of fancy smancy videos to walk us through the Voyager Pro's advanced features. So what makes the Voyager PRO so special?
Plantronics claims that the PRO can cancel as much as 80db of background noise using their proprietary AudioIQ2 dual mic technology while simultaneously balancing the audio levels with a 20-band equalizer. Lastly, the PRO boasts a 6 hour talk time, which should mean a pretty significant standby time. Hit the teaser site for all the videos.
Looks like they chose Best Buy as their exclusive retailer and you can buy it direct right now for $100.

The town was founded in the 13th century at the border of southern Bohemia and southern Moravia. The area is sometimes called Czech Canada due to its rough climate. In the mid-15th and the 16th centuries, when a post station was established here on the route between Prague and Vienna, the town experienced its greatest economic and architectural growth.
Slavonice is known for its burghers' houses with rich Renaissance gables, often decorated with figurative sgraffito and featuring special vaulted entrance halls (the so-called mázhaus.). The Gothic Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and two gates create the silhouette of the town.
The 19th century brought about economic decline of the town following a change in trade routes . As a result, the town was spared modern development and numerous outstanding sights from the Late Gothic period as well as Renaissance have been preserved to this day. The town boasts a rich cultural life, both as a result of the activities of its own Renaissance Society, and as a result of Czech-Austrian cultural collaboration.

This is what is in store for the elderly under Obamacare. The "death panels" that Sarah Palin told us about will become a reality. And then the next thing will be the children who would be born with special needs. All of this is from a party of no God and one who has no problem murdering unborn children by the millions. Expect more from the Demorats. Of course, people like Charlie Rangel whould he become ill, he will be exempt from dying like the rest of us. You see, THEY are important, WE are not.

|Matthew Adelberg, Rosary, 2013, oil on panel, 9" x 12"
Where I part company with so many who write about beauty is, first, in the easy conflation of beauty and art; and, second, in the assumption that certain works of art are intrinsically, undeniably, beautiful while others are simply not. In my book, I wrote extensively about the difference between personal taste and objective judgment, noting that we can like or dislike works of art while simultaneously noting that this does not necessarily correlate with whether those same works of art are well or poorly designed and executed. I also pointed out that, since works of art that one person declares beautiful another person might describe as ugly, it is not possible to say that any given artwork is definitively more beautiful than another.
I do believe that is is possible to say that some works of art are more harmonious than others, that some point more directly than others to transcendence, even that some invite us more intentionally into contemplation of the divine. Such works are more likely to be called beautiful by more people than those, for instance, that reveal human brutality or suffering. Artworks that are disquieting are less likely to be called beautiful even when they reveal important truths, perhaps precisely because the artist has rejected the qualities of harmony, balance, and unity that classically have been associated with beauty, or because they depict situations or persons that society calls ugly,
So can I call any artwork beautiful? Yes, of course I can. This morning, I was reading Makoto Fujimura's blog post, Tears for Fragile Emanations, and saw an image of his astonishing painting, "Charis-Kairos (The Tears of Christ)", from his Four Holy Gospels Project. My first thought was, Oh, it's so beautiful! Without being at all literal, Fujimura's painting evokes sky and water, fragile flowering bushes and rocky cliffs so stalwart that they seem eternal. The thin, transparent layers of paint invite me to look ever more deeply, to wonder what is hidden as well as what is revealed.
Similarly, a small painting that now graces my office, "Rosary" by Matthew Adelberg, is so beautiful to me that I can hardly stand it. The two hands, clasped tightly together around a rosary, suggest both hope and despair, the dirty fingernails and carefully-observed folds of skin at knuckle and joint contrasting with the smooth purity of the beads, the tightness of the grasping fingers held lightly against an infinite field of gold. At once iconic and illusionistic, this painting asks me to consider the palpable reality of both heaven and earth in one, single, gasping breath.
Partly, these two paintings evoke the experience of beauty in me because they exhibit exactly those qualities of harmony, balance, unity and technical skill that the classical aesthetic theorists described as essential elements for a beautiful artwork. Likewise, each of these paintings suggest both ecstasy and pathos, exhibiting the kind of beauty that encompasses the truth of both human suffering and divine transcendence, as suggested by many of those who write about aesthetics theologically.
Finally, however, I experience beauty in these two, very different, paintings because each of them resonates with something in my own experience of life, with my own deep yearnings and memories. I acknowledge that someone else with different taste and life experience might find Fujimura's abstraction utterly meaningless and opaque despite the title that points to Christ. Alternatively, some other person might find Adelberg's finely rendered, rosary-clutching hands trite and sentimental rather than evocative of deeper realities. Indeed, as beautiful as I find both of them, and as much as I would like to believe it, neither of these paintings is likely to save the world.
But Dostoevsky said that beauty would save the world, not art. And this I do believe. To say that something is beautiful is to love it, to cherish it, to feel a thrill in its presence, maybe even, as in the story that Fujimura tells, to give one's life for it. An experience of beauty is an experience of love, of joy, perhaps even of eternity. Just as Holy Communion is a foretaste of the heavenly banquet, an experience of beauty is a moment of beatific vision, in which we not only experience the immediate, immanent presence of God but also see the thing we call "beautiful" through God's eyes of love. I'm not entirely sure about the world, but I do know that the experiences of God's love have the power to save me from despair over all that is broken in the world around me. And that is beautiful.

I just Got this M&P 40, it was traded for my old Maadi, haven't tested it yet, maybe next week when I have some time.
The Bbl is 1/4" longer than my G23 and the grip is longer than the G23 and makes 2 more rnds than the G23 but if I insert the G22 15 rnd mag it's about the same length.
It has the interchangeable back strap system and came with 2 15rnd mags NIB
Seems like a great gun incorporating all the advances in striker fired guns over the yrs.
This model have the safety and will fire without the mag inserted.
Anyone have experience with this gun?
What should I expect out of this one?
What do you think of my new toy?

It looks very comfortable! When do you get it to the range?
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Maybe next week when I have some time off.........
Just changed the backstrap, seems I got a big paw since it feels better now with the large backstrap, I don't feel much difference between the small and medium backstraps.
I got it now, the backstraps add more to the width of the grip than to the length of pull.
Great gun. They shoot great and fieldstrip about as easy as a GLOCK. If I remember correctly you remove the clip and lock the slide back and there is a little tab at the top of the mag well that you flip forward (comes out at about 45 degrees) then release the slide and slip it right off the front. Pop the recoil spring out and barrel comes right out. Once everything is back in place inserting the mag pushes the tab back into the locked position.
I don't need No stinking signature.
I love the M&P handguns. No poly gun feels better in my hands then my M&P 9 full size.

sweet shading on that ^^ love it
You're making him a bit midget-like with short arms and legs. Torso and head are fine and the detail is great.
hey cool work ....the only thing i miss ,are the chains ,keep posting ....
I have to say, awesome job shading. I agree with aptrapani in that his legs should be longer; I can't tell about the arms yet. I also think that the skull-cover for the crotch is slightly off; maybe not packaged right in proportion to the bulge of things under it? I'm not sure, but it looks off.
Overall, awesome work. I love the torso, and how the straps are form-fitting. The cape around the head is very nice; I love the tatters and wisps.
Hope to see more,

I think that beige chair behind the piano looks pretty 90's....
Yep, the room looks really dated. The two lamps flanking the sofa are Tom Corbin bronze lamps that are actually pretty recent; I would say that this project had a lot of existing furniture that they spruced up with some new things in the past couple of years. The architecture of the room look awesome though...it seems like it is a 1950s home.
I'm going to say 90s. The preponderance of beige, the glass coffee table supported by metal spheres...yep, that's my guess.
I say it's now because I don't think MCM was so chic in the 90s.
Definately the 90's:
The angled rugs, terracotta jug in the iron stand, blade-back lounge chair, torchiere and glass slab on brass spheres are so last decade...
I voted "now". Seems like I just saw this room in a magazine the other day!
Not assertive enough to be 90's or recent, so I'm going with the 80's, the decade of "play it safe" beige. The house has lovely bones, though.
Are those gas logs in the fireplace? It has that very controlled look--those are pretty recent, aren't they?
if i could get a good look at the sofa, i'd know for sure... the club chair looks very donghia... the corbin torchières... my guess is late '80s or very early '90s, which leaves me in a quandry...
I went with 90s this time
One more vote for 1990's.
I think it is the 90's. No reason, just a feeling.
i voted for june 12th, 1989.
still the 80's but definitely dipping a toe into the early 90's.
70's or 80's, take a good look at those overhead lights. My parents put those up in the 80's
The rug and the coffee table scream '90s.
And NO, it doesn't look dated!
Isn't that a free-standing tall ashtray at this end of the couch? That would be very 70's!
tom corbin started making bronzes in 1986... don't know the date of those lamps though, but i do remember seeing them in met home...
I think what may be mistaken for a free standing ashtray is a ceramic stool. There's another one by the fireplace.
I don't know - I think I'm going with "now."
I think late 80's.
We associate these design elements with the 90's when this style became mainstream, but I think this place was a bit ahead of its time. This would have been leading edge design back then, and thus worthy of a magazine spread.
-The Corbin lamps/ Medallion torchiere would have just come out recently
-The Barcelona chair got a MOMA award in the late 70's and a resurgence throughout the 80's
- Donghia became a rising star in the late 80's and I agree with Monika1, that looks like one of their club chairs
-the MR-16 lights would have been leading-edge in the 80's
-primitive art started becoming popular around that time.
I guessed 90s based on the scale of the chair behind the piano and possibly, the sofa (though hard to see). Everything started to supersize in the early 90s, as I recall.
Sorry...those are Mies Van Der Rohe chairs (circa 1929) and the house design seems inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, so I go with 1950's with the couch in there.
Honestly, though, it could be almost any era after 1929.
just an fyi -
apologies to the two commenters, but i took down two comments from the thread this morning that listed the exact source of the photo - only because it's more fun for the folks just seeing the post today to be able to really "guess".
i'll be posting the source info along with the decade later today...
The lamps make it look now to me.
Bronze lamps terracotta glass table-top/speres freestanding ashtray = seventies.
I look forward to seeing the answer and source for this picture.
Something about this reminds me of the living room in the show Family Affair (w/Buffy, Jody, Uncle Bill & Mr. French. Sissy too).
