The City of Daytona Beach is extending the Halifax River Trail, a segment of the 3,000-mile East Coast Greenway Trail from Canada to the Florida Keys.
There are plans for an extension of the trail along Palmetto Avenue and a pedestrian underpass at Riverfront Park.
A 12-foot wide off road trail will be built along Palmetto Avenue from Wilder Boulevard to Beville Road. A pedestrian underpass would be built at Riverfront Park under the International Speedway Boulevard bridge.
The estimated cost of construction is $450,000 with $350,000 for the pedestrian underpass and $100,000 for the off road trail.
The Halifax Trail is an 11-mile segment that runs from Riverwalk in Port Orange to Cassen Park in Ormond Beach.
"For the past 10 years we have been improving the Greenway. We want to have a multi purpose off road pathway. The idea is for it to be a safe place to ride bikes and people to be able to walk," said Paul Haydt, vice chairman of the East Coast Greenway Alliance.
The city already has done work on the trail at Main Street and Sickler Avenue.
Fixing up the trail can also have an economic impact, especially in tourism with nature-based activities and outdoor recreation.
"Improving the trail could reap big economic benefits. It could actually keep people here in the area another day or two just to take a ride or hike along the trail," said Beth Lemke, president of Planning Solutions Corp.
Ms. Lemke's company is a planning firm hired by the city for the project. PSC provides transportation planning, project funding and grants, project oversight, public information, construction management and community and redevelopment planning.
"It's amazing what a trail can do with the redevelopment of an area. We have seen this in major metropolitan areas like Richmond, Va.; New York City; Durham, N.C.; and Philadelphia. The goal is also to make it where the trail can bring people to destinations within a city or area," Mr. Haydt said.
He also sees the potential Daytona Beach has with the trail.
"Daytona has a lot to offer. Along the trail is a beautiful downtown ballpark with great downtown businesses. Making this trail friendly for people could be a great benefit. The key is getting the other municipalities in the area on board with improving the trail," Mr. Haydt said.
In addition the project can have recreational benefits, reduce the costs of services, improve health and wellness, and provide a safe and secure route for pedestrians, skaters and bikers.
There is political support for the project and the Daytona Beach City Commission passed two resolutions pertaining to it at its March 6 meeting.
"During my campaign I advocated for walking and biking. My district contains some of the oldest parts of the city which the trail sits on. Once elected it is often hard to do some of the things you set out to do. The trail improvements are exciting. It doesn't cost us a lot of money as long as the maintenance cost doesn't exceed our operational costs," City Commissioner Kelly White said.
The biggest opposition to the project is finding funding in tough economic times.
"Our biggest obstacle is finding funding for the project," Ms. Lemke said. "Times are still tight despite the improvements in the economy. We have requested funds."

Topic - Rope access engineering?
robaj - on 05 Dec 2012
So...I graduated this summer with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and have now been working for 6 months for a small firm in an office environment.
It's a good job and I'm so thankful for having found work so quickly, but in the long term I'm gonna have to get out and about more as part of my job if I'm ever going to enjoy it. Being in an office 40 hours a week isn't my dream.
I've always been intrigued by the idea of rope access work as I think it would be a lot of fun and it seems to pay pretty well! I reckon the time would fly in comparison to my current job.
However, ideally I would use my degree (as opposed to cleaning windows etc) as the pay would clearly be better and I think I'd find it more stimulating.
My question is...are there many rope access jobs out there for Mechanical Engineers? It would be good to hear from anyone with knowledge of the sector.
Thanks in advance :)

What becomes of a coupon?

Dear Jill, You recently wrote about stores getting reimbursed by the manufacturer. As a long-time couponer, it's interesting to learn about couponing from the store and manufacturer's ends. I am very interested in how this reimbursement works. Do the stores hire people to submit coupons to each manufacturer? How many people do this per store? How often do they submit? Consumers never see this behind-the-scenes process and I'm very interested. I hope you know the answers!
Kaori B.
Kaori makes an excellent point. Consumers don't often get to peek behind the curtain of how coupon redemption actually works. We cut our coupons, hand them to the cashier, enjoy saving some money on what we're buying and then... what happens next?
If you've ever looked at the fine print on a manufacturer's coupon (and if you're a serious couponer, it's likely that you've perused all of those legal details in the nearly-microscopic print at one point or another), you may have noticed that there's a physical mailing address. Your coupons can be sent back to the manufacturer and the manufacturer will reimburse the store for the value of the coupons.
But does someone really sort through the thousands of coupons a store receives each week and mail them to each individual manufacturer? Usually not. This would be a labor-intensive process that would necessitate the store devoting its own staff to sorting and redeeming coupons on an ongoing basis. Instead, most stores utilize the help of a coupon clearinghouse or redemption center.
Stores collect their coupons and box them up. If the store is part of a chain, each individual store may send their coupons to the store's corporate office first, which combines each of the stores' coupons together into a larger shipment. Then, the coupons are sent to the clearinghouse. At the clearinghouse, the store's coupons are sorted by manufacturer and product. This is usually done via an automated system that utilizes both digital scanners and conveyor belts. Once the clearinghouse has sorted and scanned the coupons, they total up the value of the money due to the store from each manufacturer.
At that point, the clearinghouse sends an invoice to each manufacturer for the value of the coupons that is owed to the store. Then, depending on the clearinghouse and its arrangement with the store, the clearinghouse will pay the store for the value of the coupons, or each manufacturer can send payment directly to the store for the value of that batch of coupons.
If the manufacturer believes the totals being submitted are not correct, they can request an audit. Then the store must provide proof that they had and sold the quantities or volume of items that coupons were being redeemed for. (Years ago, a common form of coupon fraud was "clipping rooms" where less scrupulous stores would clip unused coupons from leftover newspaper inserts, and then submit them for redemption.)
Along the way, if there are any counterfeit or fraudulent coupons, they are pulled from the line and not reimbursed. These coupons are kept on file (in many cases for a year or more) at the clearinghouse and a fraud investigation may be opened. Photocopied coupons receive a similar treatment -- the store does not get reimbursed for these. (Another reminder never to photocopy coupons.)
You might wonder who pays the clearinghouses for their services. Again, the answer lies in the fine print of your coupons. Coupons contain a statement similar to, "Manufacturer agrees to reimburse the face value of this coupon plus .08 handling fee." If the store chose to reimburse its own coupons without the help of the clearinghouse, they would keep the entire .08 handling fee. When a store seeks the assistance of a clearinghouse, the clearinghouse takes some (or all) of the handling fee in exchange for its services.
There's a lot going on behind the scenes, isn't there? That little piece of paper takes quite a journey once it leaves your hands at the store.

It hasn't been the best season for Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill, but perhaps he has figured something out.
Expected to provide the offense with a downfield threat, Hill has instead been anonymous in most games, other than when he's dropped passes.
Still, he entered Saturday's game against Duke as the team's leading receiver with 12 catches for 165 yards. It appeared things were going to get off to a rocky start for him against the Blue Devils when he was flagged for blocking in the back on Tech's first series. The penalty, which looked like a bad call, wiped out a 40-yard touchdown run by Anthony Allen.
But Hill bounced back later in the game, catching a 79-yard touchdown pass that cemented Tech's victory and bowl eligibility.
"I've had a pretty bad year, but it's all right," Hill, a 6-foot-5 speedster, said. "We're looking forward now."
This week's game against rival Georgia has special significance for Hill. After he committed to Tech in 2008, Georgia made a late push in an attempt to get him to change his mind. He refused. He has declined in the past to discuss Georgia's recruiting efforts or why they waited so long to recruit him.
But he's excited about this week, the first time he will face the Bulldogs as a starter. He had one carry for 26 yards against them in last season's 30-24 loss.
"This is a big game," he said. "I marked this since we lost this last year, from when I signed the papers to come here. It's going to be a big game, prime time. I'm ready to get out there and handle business."
Tech may need him to make more plays like the one against Duke. He went up over his defender and caught the ball. He said he thought he was going to get tackled, but once he was able to separate he knew the cornerback wasn't going to catch him. It was the type of catch that Demaryius Thomas made time and time again last season and helped make him the first wide receiver selected in the NFL draft.
Coach Paul Johnson gave credit to Tevin Washington for making sure to throw the pass in bounds to give Hill a chance, and then he credited Hill with the result.
"It was great to see him make a play and finish the thing off," Johnson said. "He's a big, tall receiver. One of the things we hoped to have this year."
Earlier this season, when Hill had an issue dropping passes, he said he needed to go up and get the ball, rather than let it come into his chest and ricochet away. Johnson said he just needed to relax and play.
That advice didn't work so well. Hill continued to drop passes, but remained a tenacious blocker on the edge.
After the Duke game, he said his recent issues with drops are happening because he's been trying to run before he he's caught the ball. It's a sign of his inexperience. Hill is a sophomore.
"He's been working, beating himself up about catching the ball in game situations," Washington said. "Today he went up there and did that."
Hill picked a good time to make the play. In the days before the Duke game, Johnson bemoaned the fact that no one had stepped up at the position.
"It has been hot and cold," he said. "One game one guy will play better and the next game it is another guy. We really haven't had real consistency there to speak of."
That wasn't an issue last season. Thomas was the go-to receiver, catching 46 passes for 1,154 yards. Of course, wide receivers coach Al Preston said that Thomas' first two seasons were similar to what Tech is seeing this year from Hill and junior Tyler Melton: sparks of brilliance dulled by inconsistency.
"We've just got to keep working at it," he said. "People think there's just one factor, but like life there's a lot of factors. There's youth, guys are having to be THE GUY. The maturity of life, as they get older they get to understand it, the light comes on and bingo. Hopefully that light will come on this weekend."
Perhaps it did.

In just 90 seconds, Grant Dixon, 17, was able to snag 956 pounds of food, shoving cans, boxes and bags into his shopping cart at the Eastway Drive Food Lion.
Dixon, a Providence High junior, and three other area high school students raced the aisles for the Fast Feet challenge, part of the Carolinas Student Hunger Drive.
"It was really, really fun," he said. "I saw a big pallet of stuff, and got as much as I could."
The drive, which began in October and ends Nov. 18, collects nonperishable food for Second Harvest of Metrolina Food Bank. Second Harvest will distribute the food to the hungry near the participating high schools, said Mona Lita Carr, executive director of the drive.
Seventeen area high schools are competing to collect the most food through donations from students, families and staff:
• A.L. Brown
• Ardrey Kell
• Butler
• Cannon
• Cabarrus/Kannapolis Early College
• Cox Mill
• East Mecklenburg
• Fort Mill
• Leadership & Public Service High at Garinger
• Hickory Ridge
• Independence
• Myers Park
• Nation Ford
• North Mecklenburg
• Northwest Cabarrus
• Providence
• South Mecklenburg
The four Fast Feet school participants earned the chance to compete by netting the most "likes" on Facebook for their schools' talent skit performances.
The skits were mostly musical: South Mecklenburg students changed the words from Psy's "Gangnam Style" ("South, south, south, south Meck, this is donate time!"), while East Mecklenburg went a capella (with a drum) and sang about hunger to Fun.'s "Some Nights."
Ardrey Kell and Myers Park both did raps (Myers Park's to the tune of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air), and called each other out onstage to heighten the competition.
"It's really competitive this year. It's great," said Mackenzie Lewis, a junior at Butler.
As Butler's project coordinator for the drive, Mackenzie has organized penny wars between the classes and handed out fliers.
Grant, at Providence, said the school's clubs have been having contests to see which club can bring in the most cans.
"It's really cool to see when a school comes together for a good cause," he said. "This is a huge deal for Providence."
Since Carolinas Students Hunger Drive began in the Charlotte area in 2010, high school students have collected about 243,000 pounds of food, Carr said. They collected 112,000 pounds last year.
The top-collecting schools will be announced Nov. 18 at an awards rally at Second Harvest.
The first-place school wins a $2,000 cash prize, and the runner-up receives $1,000, Carr said. A teacher adviser will be chosen to win a $500 travel gift card. A scholarship will go to a student who demonstrated excellent leadership.
Carr said she's been impressed with all of the participating schools.
Feeding America, a national hunger-relief group, estimates that 18.8 percent of Mecklenburg County has food insecurity, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's term for a lack of access, at times, to food required for a healthy lifestyle.
Mackenzie said no matter the size of contributions – in the form of change or cans – she's glad to see so many classmates who want to help others.
"Everyone is getting really involved," she said. "It's so awesome right now."

Padres drop 7th straight in 4-2 loss to Dodgers
Source: The Oklahoman - Aug 31, 2011 at 8:18 PM
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brad Brach couldn't stop smiling, and that's saying something when you're playing for the last-place San Diego Padres, who have lost a season-high seven in a row. Brach made his major league debut in the seventh inning of a 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, with his personal highlight a strikeout of Matt Kemp. The 25-year-old right-hander gave up two singles in 1 1-3 innings and struck out three of the seven batters he faced.Read more on NewsOK.com

Want to use an iPad to wirelessly control your dSLR or send shots straight to your smartphone for easy sharing on the go? Here's what you need to give you and your camera some freedom from wires.
Stay connected on long road trips, or stream your favourite tunes on the move. It's easier than ever to give your car its own Wi-Fi hotspot.
If regularly connect to more than one Wi-Fi network on your Mac, you can do several things to optimize which networks will get automatically chosen.
Virgin Media has brought Wi-Fi to 10 more Tube stations, making a total of 131 Tube stops now offering the service.
The Samsung LTE Mobile HotSpot Pro's superfast 4G LTE speed and exceptionally long battery life make it a great buy on its own, but its juice pack feature sweetens the deal that much more.
CNET goes hands-on with the ZTE Projector Hotspot , a personal hot spot that can also beam images and videos.
Pricing not available
Sprint customers can purchase ZTE's hybrid image projector and personal hotspot starting for $299 after signing a two-year contract.
Major mobile operators plan on turning to Wi-Fi to add more than a fifth of additional data capacity to their networks in 2013 and 2014, according to study. And new standards make it even easier for subscribers to access these networks.
This is like no projector you've seen before, because it's also a hot spot and battery charger. CNET's Bridget Carey explains how this Android device is handy for work and play.
The Projector Hotspot from ZTE serves up data for up to eight mobile device -- but you can beam images and movies from it as well.

Among the important tasks carried out by our staff each year are "fam trips" – short for "familiarisation trips". On a fam trip, members of ESL's international team visit partner schools and explore the destinations, meeting staff at the schools and getting feedback from students.
These trips allow us to see how schools are innovating and developing, which in turn helps us provide you with up-to-date, insider information when you are choosing where to study. They are also an enjoyable and popular form of training for our staff.
Claudio Seri from ESL's drop-in office in Lausanne says:
Fam trips are a mix of discovery, travelling and getting to know colleagues and partner schools better. It is very positive because you meet colleagues who you don't see too often; there is a real energy when we are all together experiencing the same trip. You are sharing things with colleagues and are always given a friendly welcome by the schools. As an overall human experience it is very positive.
Sampling the student experience
Almost all of our staff have studied a language abroad and many continue to do so while working for ESL. But different language schools offer different courses and the student experience varies from school to school, destination to destination. That's why it is beneficial for our team to sample various courses and activities at our partner schools, while getting honest feedback from students.
With this experience and feedback, we can provide a better service when helping you choose the course that is right for you.
For example, one fam trip in September 2012 brought our team to six locations in Great Britain to experience specialised programmes for executives. The trip included partner schools in Canterbury, London, Brighton, Portsmouth, Cheltenham and beautiful Brecon in Wales. The experience of these professional courses was relevant because our office and regional managers are young executives themselves – exactly the audience for whom the courses are intended.
London 2012
Earlier in the year, some of our staff visited partner schools in London on a trip dedicated to Britain's capital city, which is one of our most popular destinations. 2012 was a great year to be in London, with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Summer Olympics. It was also the year when ESL opened a London drop-in office. Why not pop in for a cup of tea and a chat at 4th Floor, 24 Haymarket?
And "down under"
Another fam trip this year headed to Australia, taking in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Noosa, Sunshine Coast and Sydney. As well as visiting partner schools, meeting our students and exploring the destinations, our team put in the hard work necessary to really understand Aussie beach culture, including surfing, barbecues and a little bit of sunbathing! All this to bring you the best possible service.
Stay tuned in 2013 for much more information from these trips, including local highlights and insider tips from ESL team members.

"Louis XVI needed a revolution, Napoleon needed two historic military defeats, the Spanish Empire in the New World needed multiple revolutions, the Russian Czar needed a communist revolution, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires needed World War I, the Third Reich needed World War II, the Land of the Rising Sun needed two atomic bombs, the Portuguese Empire in Africa needed a military coup at home. What will the American Empire need?
"Perhaps losing the long-held admiration and support of one group of people after another, one country after another, as the empire's wars, bombings, occupations, torture, and lies eat away at the facade of a beloved and legendary 'America'; an empire unlike any other in history, that has intervened seriously and grievously, in war and in peace, in most countries on the planet, as it preached to the world that the American Way of Life was a shining example for all humanity and that America above all was needed to lead the world.
"The Wikileaks documents and videos have provided one humiliation after another … lies exposed, political manipulations revealed, gross hypocrisies, murders in cold blood, … followed by the torture of Bradley Manning and the persecution of Julian Assange. Washington calls the revelations 'threats to national security', but the world can well see it's simply plain old embarrassment. Manning's defense attorneys have asked the military court on several occasions to specify the exact harm done to national security. The court has never given an answer. If hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, consider an empire embarrassed."

Angelo's pizza shop has closed in Hampden.
On Thursday, the longtime operators of the pizza shop were evicted by the building's owners, 36 Keswick LLC.
"It's just been a nightmare," said Angelo Pizza, who purchased the pizza business from his mother in 1988. "Things just started getting good in the last six months."
Angelo's had closed once before, back in May 2011, but Pizza was able to reopen in just over a month after getting a loan from a regular customer. This time, Pizza said, it looks like the end of Angelo's. Now, he just wants his equipment out of the building that used to be his home. "There's a lot of value in the pizza equipment."
The building at 36th Street and Keswick Avenue was purchased at auction in October, 2013 by 36 Keswick LLC.
Joel Winegarden, a partner in 36 Keswick, said that the Pizzas continued to operate the pizza shop but never signed a lease. On Wednesday night, Winegarden said that he was in continuing discussions with Pizza about the restaurant equipment.
Pizza also said that the two sides were never able to agree on the terms of the lease. He was out of the shop, Pizza said, when he got a phone call from his brother, Tony, who co-owns the business, telling him the sheriff had come to lock the pizza shop up.
"They made the customers leave," Pizza said. "I had catering jobs tonight."

I waited for months to finally see the legendary Bell Witch Cave in Adams, TN. The infamous haunting surpasses most ghost stories, as the entity that uprooted the lives of the Bell Family seemed more intelligent and more visible than any spirit documented in the state of Tennessee thus far. I want to share my experience of the visit, but first here is a brief summary of the haunting of the Bell Witch Farm:
(Read More on The Bell Witch & see our pictures...)
The Read House - or Sheraton Inn in Chattanooga, formerly The Crutchfield House built in 1847. Legend has it that Room 311 is the most haunted room in the place. This is only partly true. The original room 311 has been moved, or sealed, depending on who you ask. The desk clerk who spoke to us said it was moved AND sealed when the remodeling took place. None the less, MANY guests and staff have seen shadowy apparitions, been awakened in the night by phantom hands, and captured odd anomalies in photographs and videos. In fact, a lot of guests leave early due to the haunting presence of a female spirit...(Read More about Room 311 & See Our Pictures...)
One of Tennessee's oldest towns with many buildings predating the Civil War, Jonesborough has a very interesting history. It was once listed on the Travel Channel as one of the Top Ten Most Haunted Towns in America. Could it be true? Who are the ghosts who haunt this town? One of our earlier presidents, Andrew Jackson served as a no-nonsense judge in Jonesborough. Does his spirit still preside over his former jurisdiction? Many people would think so, as his apparition has been witnessed walking down Main St. or around...
(continue reading and see more pictures on Jonesborough)
The original building burned in the 1920's and is in ruins, yet people have reported hearing screams from the patients being mistreated & shackles being thrown around. The eerie song from old music boxes prickles the skin of sensitive listeners brave enough to visit the site of a building that stood long ago, housing the mentally unstable. It was here that many atrocities are said to have taken place, including shocking abuse of patients. A newer facility exists today, which is the subject of our photos where there is a white semi-transparent form that seemingly floats behind a window. We're not sure it is anything paranormal, but we are sure it is not a solid piece of furniture, or a person...

Philster043 said...
Yeah, thanks to Dawn's article, I've taken to using the lightwell more often in the last three months - and nobody ever uses it. It's gotten to the point where I just use it for myself now. As a sometimes tank and sometimes dps I can see why they'd just fail to use it though. They're so focused on either standing their ground or dealing out damage that the lightwell just isn't on their radar.
I've gotten to the point where I think the lightwell needs to be revamped to offer something that nobody in the group would expect the priest to do himself. For example, giving an effect that would keep them "safe" from all damage for maybe 5 seconds - a sort of "sanctuary" bubble. Either that or it would offer them a greater HoT.
That way they could avoid tremendous AoE damage if 1) they see that their health is low and they're not sure that the priest will get to them in time to heal them back up in time for the AoE blastwave and 2) they see that they're out of the priest's range but they're in the lightwell's range, which could be useful in certain scenarios.
The only catch: they have to not be affected by "Weakened Spirit" at the time they want to use the Lightwell, using the Lightwell would give them an extended period of "Weakened Spirit," and of course there would be a limited amount of uses.
Whoa, I dunno why I dived right into that subject, I guess I should have saved it for a more relevant article.
Also, that LK with the lightwell picture is hilarious. =)

Good Questions: A Paint Color for this Sunny Dining Room?
Eric in Austin
Email us with QUESTIONS in subject line: sf (at) apartmenttherapy (dot) com
Link To All Good Questions
Dear Eric,
With so much light streaming in you have a lot of great options. Sometimes when a space is really bright, it can be helpful to darken the walls, to give the eyes a rest. (This accounts for all the dark wood paneling in boat interiors). But without actually being in your room we can't tell if it calls for that kind of treatment. Since you actually know what the light is like in this room, make this call yourself, and adjust any advice you get accordingly.
We're going to err on the light side, and suggest you go with a fairly neutral color, one that will set off your existing colors (bright green and red) but be more interesting than white.this ColorTherapy post, and gives some specific paint color correlates in the post. matte putty color, because it will create an excellent canvas for adding more color: art, table settings, flowers and, of course, food. Again, check out Mark's ColorTherapy post for paint suggestions.
Anyone else?
22 Comments
Are the colors in adjoining rooms bright or muted? What about artwork and accessories in this room?
I agree with the light blue suggestion. On my monitor it actually looks as though the walls are already a pale blue.
Well, I was also going to suggest a nice pale sky blue.
my first thought was pale blue, but as the light coming into your space is already cool( thats why there's a blur tint to the walls) I'd suggest going a touch warm; a soft earthy yellow,maybe BenjaminMoore HC5 Weston Flax..to balance the cool light and also the cool green and red that you have-you could go to a lighter shade of this color but keep it away from the greeny yellows.
If you go pale blue try for a warm blue( with a green undertone)
I think a warm yellow would look great.
The blue is nice but I agree about perhaps trying a yellow.
what about a warm grey or white while keeping the trim bright white? it would be a great backdrop for artwork. perfect for bringing in more colors that way.
I really appreciate all of these comments. Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Adjoining rooms are mostly taupe, cream, black and grey; very muted. I took all of my accessories/artwork out of the room because I sort of wanted to start over. The room was getting too cluttered. So right now, it is a clean slate!
2. I had considered a silvery-sagey, but then I thought it was too green and wouldn't look good with the bright green stripes.
I was too impatient and went with Restoration Hardware's "Lilac" (!). It is sort of a gray/purple/almost beige color. I am a total color novice, but for some reason it looked good with green and red. I would *love* to show you all how it turned out, but I am not sure how I would do that.
I hadn't considered yellow or warm grey! Such excellent ideas. Hrm... I do still have all my paint stuff out...
Let me add my vote for yellow! Definitely keep the white trim, and be careful you don't get a muddy yellow (we've been through that in our sunny kitchen). A clear warm yellow should be lovely.
1 on the sky blue... or a buttery, creamy yellow. Like the inside of a banana.
i know im the oddball here, but i love a good dark-colored sun room. it just feels so much warmer and sexy and CALM. bright yellow spaces drive me nuts...but, again, thats just me.
pale blue and yellow just seems so...safe.
personally, i'd go with a navy/slate shade and then open all those shutters to let the light pour all over those rich looking walls...OR! i think it'd look really rad if you exactly matched that great kelly leafy green in the cushions and did the walls and the ceiling in that color. yep, thats my vote. then you could use lots of yellow, white, and even some pink accents.
I vote for the soft bright yellow
I would love to see the lilac color with the red and green. Anyway you could upload a pic to flickr?
goodnightdean: I also hadn't considered a whole green room. I think you are right; leafy kelly green would be hella sweet! I am perusing colors right now.
thebird: I will try to post some pictures of the lilac on Flickr shortly. I am anxious to hear what y'all think.
Lisa (editor): Thanks a lot for your thoughtful response. I had missed it, initially, in my zeal to read the reader's comments. The liac is pretty close to putty, I think.
Try this, guys: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71644355@N00/?saved=1
Eric- Thanks for posting photos. It looks great, and I love how the green and white fabric really pops.
glad you like the green idea-- i didnt even realize that a guy had posted the question, but i think that would definitely lean the room toward the masculine side of things. i was actually thinking about it more last night and thought how great those red chairs would look in a green room with navy/white/yellow/gold accents.
cant wait to see 'after' photos!
OK, that clinches it... Even though I think the lilac looks good, I have been a little hesitant to bring anyone over to my "bachelor pad". It looks a little more "boudoir" than "billiard room," if you catch my drift.
I'll promptly put up pictures post-painting. Promise!
I'd vote for something like fern gully (Benj Moore), because in a similar room in my place, it feels like the outdoors have come inside...and it's cheering. The red pops against it.
I think a sky blue of some sort would add to the picnic effect I already get from your green plaid cushions. If you think that's desirable (I do!) then go for it.
I'd either go up to a light green, or a soft creamy yellow, or a yellowy-green.
But then I have an admitted irrational bias against green and blue together.
Eric- did you go with the green?

Crystal structure of M. tuberculosis beta carbonic anhydrase, Rv3588c, tetrameric form
Carbonic anhydrases catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to form bicarbonate, a reaction required for many functions, including carbon assimilation and pH homeostasis. Carbonic anhydrases are divided into at least three classes and are believed to share a zinc-hydroxide mechanism for carbon dioxide hydration. beta-carbonic anhydrases are broadly spread among the domains of life, and existing structures from different organisms show two distinct active site setups, one with three protein coordinations to the zinc (accessible) and the other with four (blocked). The latter is believed to be inconsistent with the zinc-hydroxide mechanism. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv3588c gene, shown to be required for in vivo growth of the pathogen, encodes a beta-carbonic anhydrase with a steep pH dependence of its activity, being active at pH 8.4 but not at pH 7.5. We have recently solved the structure of this protein, which was a dimeric protein with a blocked active site. Here we present the structure of the thiocyanate complexed protein in a different crystal form. The protein now forms distinct tetramers and shows large structural changes, including a carboxylate shift yielding the accessible active site. This structure demonstrated for the first time that a beta-carbonic anhydrase can switch between the two states. A pH-dependent dimer to tetramer equilibrium was also demonstrated by dynamic light scattering measurements. The data presented here, therefore, suggest a carboxylate shift on/off switch for the enzyme, which may, in turn, be controlled by a dimer-to-tetramer equilibrium.

I would love to see the scene where Jacob phases in front Charlie. Billy Burke is fantastic and I can only imagine how he would handle this scene, I think it would be fantastic.
Just for clarification they can easily imply Jacob's/Taylor's nakedness without having to actually showing anything.
I think I'd love to see: 1) Esme & Carlisle's love story right up to Carlisle presenting Esme with Isle Esme and their honeymoon.--> A perfect spot to do this could be as Edward and Bella travel in their boat as Isle Esme faintly appears on the horizon (-add a flashback to Carlisle and Esme remembering their honeymoon as they watch Edward and Bella leave in the getaway car); do a mirage-type special effect and "melt away" into the story of Carlisle & Esme ---be still my heart! Smiles!
2) Alice's life at the asylum and her change into a vampire, 3) Jacob's search for a girl to imprint upon and imprinting on Renesmee.
Hi Everyone! I just thought of some other major, terrific scenes I'd love to see!
1. Alice glimpsing Bella in Edward's future, but in 1 of 3 different ways:
a.) ... while Alice makes the wedding arrangements and/or dresses Bella with the help of Rosalie, Renee
and Esme
b.) ...Alice reminisces with Edward once more that Bella is The One for him; before Edward
talks with Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett about the honeymoon!
c.) While Edward gazes at Bella on Charlie's arm for the wedding scene (-do
a flashback of Alice's prediction of Bella's appearance in Edward's life!)
2. Alice glimpsing and remembering Jasper coming into her life as she creates the wedding arrangements
(she reminisces with Edward,); or, while she, Rosalie, Renee and Esme prepare Bella for the wedding!

Bec "Rowdy" Hyatt mainstream news segment on Australia's Channel Ten News. Interview features Bec talking about being the first ever Australian to sign with the world's premier WMMA organization Invicta Fighting Championships, plus more.
she's hot good luck.and watch for that high kick next time:)
I like how the chauvinistic interviewers were focusing on how she looks and that she is the mother of two, and the woman anchor corrected them at the end saying how talented she is. Although a little retrograde, they at least sounded very positive about it. Much better than lots of professionals in the U.S.
This lady can really throw down! She is a great addition to the Invicta group of female fighters.
Drops those hand alot. Hope she figures that out.
LoL @ 3:47 "I hope your amazing injury run continues"
Congrats to Bec who just got moved up to the main event title fight against Carla Esparza!!

How very fantabulously appropriate!
Wouldn't it be neat if we could sometimes mine up interesting little items, like cursed stones of the old gods or something, which, when you clicked on them, turned you into a possessed raving lunatic that attacked your friends and then fled in utter madness -- for just about 30 seconds or so?
Without an item like that, any sort of "possession" thing tends to be nothing more than,
"Um. Hey guys, I'm possessed now."
"Really? That's too bad."
"I uh... challenge you to a duel! er... wait. Could you come outside the city so that I can roleplay turning into a raving mad lunatic possessed by a demon?"
"No, I'm busy drinking tea. Besides, Deathbob got possessed last week, and I only roleplay one possession per month. Why not just have a glass of milk and pretend it never happened?"
Very dissapointing.

An accident between a school bus and a daycare van may have caused a scare for parents in Moss Point Tuesday afternoon, but everyone is okay.
Police tell WLOX News the chain reaction accident happened around 3pm in the northbound lanes of Highway 63. A school bus carrying 20 children from Escatawpa Elementary hit a van from New Beginnings Daycare Center in Moss Point. That van had seven children and two adults on board.
Officials said some of the children complained of bumps and bruises, but no serious injuries were reported. The school children were taken back to Escatawpa Elementary so parents could pick them up.

Q: What's your favorite Orange County Halloween tradition?A: Halloween concerts of the ska-infused new wave octet Oingo Boingo were a tradition from the 1980s until their final show in '95. At the height of the band's popularity those shows were at Irvine Meadows, now Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. Band leader Danny Elfman, now known for movie scores, belted out peppy songs such as "Dead Man's Party," and costumed revelers danced through shows that lasted for hours. Some band members occasionally still do shows as Johnny Vatos Boingo Dance Party. But Elfman says he's done with concerts, citing partial deafness from years of loud music. We're hoping advances in Weird Science eventually will restore his hearing.
Q: Orange County old-timers all seem to know one another. But I can shop at my local market and not recognize a soul. Why is that?A: At the end of World War II, the county had a population of 175,000. People who have lived here since then often know one another—or at least know of one another. The postwar boom hit O.C. hard, and by 1963 we had more than 1 million residents. Now we have nearly 3.1 million! If you feel anonymous today, just wait until you're an old-timer and we're all piled into high-rises.
Q: Does Buena Park's Silverado Days have anything to do with Silverado Canyon?A: Not really, but it sounds appropriately Old West-ish. In the late 1950s, Buena Park's downtown merchants, threatened by new shopping centers, borrowed a page from Knott's Berry Farm and tried to give downtown an Old West makeover. For emphasis, they changed their annual "Home Town Days" festival into "Silverado Days" with a parade, barbecue dinner, square dance, and rodeo—and everyone in town dressed like cowboys and cowgirls for the week. More recent additions include carnival rides and contests, including horseshoes and hog calling. Proceeds from this year's festival, Oct. 18 through 20 at Peak Park, will benefit local charities. Sadly, there is no "Buena Park Days" festival in Silverado.

Artist feature 2014:
- Brassroots
- Brassroots is an 8-piece East London-based brass-band and percussion outfit, fusing an eclectic collection of musical genres played by a group of international musicians with groove, energy and an incredible funkiness. Brassroots are not only infectious performers - they are brass band activists. They want to put the live and instrumental back into pop music, so they take familiar tunes and add their brass magic, supporting a growing circuit for funky brass bands in the UK. They've worked with vocalists, MCs and DJs, so they've got a dance music ethic, loving nothing more than a packed dance-floor. The group has unleashed knock-out shows to sold-out audiences at Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party and Bestival and have earnt airplay on BBC Radio 1, Magic and Choice FM radio stations. Leaving fans screaming at the top or their lungs for more is their calling card and the band is poised to bring a brand new energy and appeal to a tragically under-rated genre. They will headline the Saturday night at the Barbican International Jazz & Blues Festival.

2013 Pro Bowl voting underwayPosted by on October 23, 2012 – 11:05 am
It's election season in the NFL. Fans can begin voting to select players for the 2013 Pro Bowl, the NFL's annual All-Star Game. Voting is available online here: http://www.packers.com/fan-zone/pro-bowl-ballot-2013.html.
Balloting will conclude on Monday, December 17 following the conclusion of Monday Night Football (New York Jets at Tennessee Titans, ESPN, 7:30 pm (CT)). The teams will be announced at 6 pm (CT) Wednesday, December 26 on NFL Network.
The 2013 Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, January 27, 2013 and televised live on NBC at 6 pm (CT) from Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The AFC and NFC All-Star squads are based on the consensus votes of fans, players and coaches. Each group's vote counts one-third toward determining the 43-man rosters that represent the American Football Conference and National Football Conference in the Pro Bowl. NFL players and coaches will cast their votes on December 20-21.
The NFL is the only sports league that combines voting by fans, coaches and players to determine its all-star teams. It was the first professional sports league to offer online all-star voting in 1995.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was the league's top vote-getter last year, with 1,581,982 fan votes.

Does anybody know how they decide which players get on the ballot? I mean – Casey Hayward is tied for leading NFL in interceptions so far – but only Williams and Shields are on the CB-list. Cobb has been an important receiver, but is not on the WR-list, while Jennings is. Not to mention the fact that arguably the best special teams team in the league has no players on the ST list.
Why does the NFL limit our choices?
By Kruser on Oct 23, 2012 | Reply
I was thinking the same thing. I think they have to be considered a starter, but if anyone in that secondary deserves to be in the pro bowl, especially rookies, he takes the cake.

Good for hooves
posted 6 years ago
Great product for helping and preventing dry or cracked hooves. It is a little harder to apply than liquid products that come with an applicator if your horse is fidgety. Still, a great deal for the price.
Pros: effective, economical
Cons: a little messy

This stuff works really well if your horse has dry hooves. I put it on once or twice a week depending on how dry they and it works great!
Pros: Adds alot of moisture to your horses hooves
Cons: kind of messy to clean up

Good for the hooves

It's been a long time but this what I used for my horses's hooves. I see there are newer versions of this now. Maybe one of them would be less messy but this does the job.
Pros: Does the job
Cons: messy

Sticky icky
posted 6 years ago
This formula needs to be applied to dry hooves and don't put your equine away too soon after--dirt and shavings will cling!
Product works, but it is icky and sticky! Makes a mess.
Pros: Softens hooves and moisturizes
Cons: Icky and sticky

After researching this surgery for about 7 months,...
after researching this surgery for about 7 months, I finally decided to go with under eye bag removal. lower bleph...with Dr. Will in Plainfield. I will post pics and will update on my process. The surgery is scheduled for Wed. March 26th and I will be under local anesthesia only. yes I'm very nervous about being awake but I heard its not so bad so we'll see...more to come soon..
Day of surgery
I had the procedure done today at 11am. I was given two Valium a half hour before surgery then was giving shots to numb the area. (Yes they hurt) I listened to my iPod to take away the distraction but found myself lowering the sound to hear what was going on. It wasn't painful. Just felt heat and pulling from the fat removal. A few times I had to be given more numbing because I would start feeling the pinch or heat. Overall it wasn't too bad. I have begun icing every 20 min which is annoying but should make the swelling less. My only concern now is my lower eyelids are pulled down which is very ugly and feels very odd. The doc said this is ok and should go back to normal in a few days but I'm starting to get anxiety over it. I guess it's only the first day so I shouldn't freak out just yet. I'll keep updating on this progress.
Day 3
It's day 3 and not looking any better. I woke up with my eyes closed shut from crusting and oozing. I don't know if I can wash the area w the stitches to take off the crusting. My eyes are red and swollen and the outer corners are drooping which is my main concern. I think I'm going to call the doctor today. My eyes are very sore also. I have been really good with icing so the swelling and brushing under my eyes isn't that bad but I don't like that my eyelids are pulled away from my eye balls. I hope it's just the swelling...my eye shape is definitely different right now and I don't like it.
Day 4 and getting better
I woke up this morning and couldn't open my eyes again from all the crust and puss. Dr called this morning (thank god because I was about to call her) and prescribed me a steroid eye drop so that should help the swelling and redness of my eye. But overall bruising is minimal and swelling is not bad except right at the eyelash line where it's still pulling away from my eyeball. Right eye is still drooping but was told that should go back to normal. Today I actually feel pretty good and people are telling me I look good. Hopefully this just keeps getting better. I will post a pic soon.
Day 4
Having a hard time taking pics of myself but this is my right eye which is the worst of the two. See what I mean about drooping? Other than that looks pretty good I think. And yes I do plan to get my upper eyes done too but wasnt ready yet...:)
one week out
I have been bad with updating but I'm one week since my surgery. I saw my doctor on Monday and she said my swelling/drooping is normal and should slowly go back to normal in the next two weeks. my bruising and swelling under my eye is pretty much all gone but the swelling/redness of my eyelid is still somewhat bad still and the dropping of my right eye is getting annoying and worrying me a little. I just have to be patient I guess but everyday I am hoping to see some sort of improvement but I'm not. Once the swelling and drooping goes away I think I'm going to be extremely happy. I don't see the bags anymore and the dark circles are not as bad as they were. I will post a pic later. I am back at work(with my glasses on) and no one seems to notice... My stitches are starting to come out (they are dissolvable) and I do have some little bumps around where the stitches are...(I assume that is normal) but its not bad...my eyes are still sore and I am taking some advil for it but the pain has really not been bad at all...dryness is sometimes bad but I use rewetting drops which seems to help.....I will update again in a few more days with hopefully better news that my swelling/drooping is gone! :)
one month
I'm one month out of my surgery and things are not healing normally so I'm not sure at this point if this surgery was worth it. I look exactly the same as I did 2 weeks ago...I hate how my eyes look right now...I never wanted the shape of my eyes to change...just the bags to be gone... The swelling of my lids is still there and the drooping did not go away. I'm starting to think I may need revision surgery if this drooping doesn't go away. I'm so frustrated. I see my doctor again on Monday but she isn't sure why I'm looking swollen still and thinks allergies has something to do w/it but I just don't know...the incisions under my eyes are pretty bad but I expected that to take a while to go away or at least look better....I really don't know what to do at this point but right now I'm regretting doing this...

Isn't Advil a no no? I was told to only take Tylenol for my pain. I would check with your doctor. It sounds like you are right on track and healing normally. I would try not to worry. You really look excellent for just one week post.
- Reply
Your incision looks great and I think the drooping you see is probably just swelling. I really don't see it… just swelling. I think you look like you are healing really well.

Thank you I hope so. I'm surprised at how little bruising I have compared to people I've seen on here. I see my doc tomorrow so I'm sure she'll Let me know about the drooping and if it's normal. I just looked at your pics and you look great!! What a difference!! I wish I had my before pics so I could really compare after I'm all healed.

Since you, like me, only had lowers done, we had less bruising. Most people on this site are having multiple procedures at one time. I know I would also like to do my uppers, but I wanted to be conservative. I'm getting married in October and I wanted to make sure I was completely healed. Also, I need to save up in order to have my uppers done. Yeah, there is that. Lol.

Oh, and thank you! I am so happy to be rid of my bags! It's the best thing I ever did for myself. I had to dig to find before pictures because I would often avoid having my picture taken unless I was wearing my glasses or sunglasses. :)

I'm glad your feeling better. My eyes were really red and watery too. One of my eyes developed Chemosis. My doctor gave me steroid drops and a steroid shot to help get rid of it. You will feel much better once you get those drops in your eyes. Did you ask your surgeon if you could gently clean away the gunk in your eyes? I can't wait to see your photos!
- Reply
You are! Darn. No way to edit when you make stupid typos. :/

Thanks and yes I bet I have chemosis too! My eyes already look and feel better after using the drops once. The doctor told me to wash with warm water and q tips only and just keep applying the ointment.im so mad I can't find my before pics!!

I'm sure you are very swollen. Don't worry about how you look. Just keep icing and make sure you sleep propped up with lots of pillows or sleep in a recliner. (That's what I did.) don't look in mirrors unless you absolutely have to. I was lucky because my surgeon likes to out compression tape in after surgery, so with bandages under my eyes I couldn't see the swelling it bruising until I went to have my stitches out. (Just two stitches that were use to keep repositioned fat in place. My Lower lids had dissolvable stitches.) I'm glad I couldn't see anything. The first week is the worst. Just concentrate on resting and healing.

I had the same surgery five weeks ago under a local. You'll be fine. They do make sure you are loopy that's for sure. Lol. I remember bits and pieces, but I don't remember being in any pain. I can't wait to see your journey. Good luck!

I take one look & know the only one who was gonna get him out was a good friend of mine, Larry Osborn. Larry has an old 1986 red Ford truck "The Mud Truck". Larry shows up with the Mud Truck. That old Ford had no problems pulling out my nephews Chevy truck & drags him all the way to dry land. The Mud truck is know all over the county…Larry has save me & a lot of people with that old Ford.

Will my boyfriend know I'm a virgin?
I told my boyfriend that I'm not a virgin, but I actually am a virgin. Will he be able to tell when we have sex?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Well you should tell him because that's something to be proud of, not ashamed. That's not something you should keep as a surprise, just like you need to know if he's one or if he's had multiple partners already. Having sex isn't something like only giving a bj or fingering you. It's the ultimate act of love between two people because with having sex comes responsibility. You both want to know all about it because way too many teens every year jump into sex and then because of that something like getting an STD or the girl getting pregnant, or the regrets later when meeting one they really do love and want to get married too but then they have on their minds all the sex they've had already with different partners. But yes, if he's not a virgin and you are he'll be able to tell by your indecision's plus it hurting will take you by surprise and more than likely bleeding. He'd want to know.

Well I have had sex with a virgin who said she was not one but I could tell right away from a few thing first of she had no idea how to have sex and it was extremely painful for her.( was only in for less than a minute) so I guess that yes you can tell if a girl is a virgin when having sex.
Yeah you'll bleed be sore and in pain, seriously get a guy with your experience and wait till 18, you'll regret it later just like my sis and cousin did.Plz check out my question: link
Your sis and cousin had sex together?
LOL I don't think that's what he meant...or is it? o_O
No they lost it to guys that were like the perfect guy at first, but after they screwed them were complete douche bags!
if your hymen is still intact, we can say that your a virgin .. but virginity solely doesn't depend on the hymen as it can get ruptured during any sporting activity or exercise
She never mentioned her hymen was broken before; so I am taking poetic license. If a guy doesn't break a girls hymen when she is a virgin; then he is doing something wrong. The only way your getting in there is if it's broken. Can you walk through a door without opening it? Consider that.
Just speaking generally...Not all virgins still have their hymen in tact when they have sex for the first time for all you fellas that believe that :)...so you can't only take the breaching of the hymen into consideration...
Yes. If your a virgin; he's going to break your hymen. When that happen's you bleed; alot. Not to mention its pretty tough to get it in there when the girl is a virgin
Many many times a girls hymen is broken before she ever has sex. Also, many times a girl doesn't bleed even if she is a virgin. All things to consider *
He will. I mean it will be extremely tight. first time I had sex I was like 1 inch in, and I couldn't go any more until she relaxed a little. sooo tight I tell ya.
yes, I'm a virgin, too. You'll be able to tell skill wise. You should have never told him you weren't a virgin, he's not gonna take it easy on you. It will hurt the first time, if your boyfriend doesn't take it easy. He'll be able to tell because you'll tear you're hymen and bleed. You should def tell him, you are. There's no shame in that. I'm a guy and I'm a virgin, but I don't give a shit because I would just like to lose it to someone I care about, not some grimy skank. good luck.

I do not know why people are so ashamed of being a virgin! It's not a bad thing! Tell him the truth, otherwise you're going to get hurt, physically and mentally.
If your hymen hasn't broken yet, then when you have sex you might bleed a little bit, so if he thinks you're not a virgin he'll probably get freaked out and think he's hurt you. But your hymen might have already broken naturally, so this might not be a problem.Just tell him the truth about being a virgin, he shouldn't mind.
yes if you hesitate if you flinch when he penetrates you and definitely if you bleed on him
It depends. Sometimes when a girl has sex for the first time, her hymen will break and she will bleed (some bleed a little, and some bleed a bit more.) If you have never had sex before, and you get nervous when the time comes to have sex with your boyfriend, you will more than likely tense up. When you tense up, it will hurt a lot more than it would if you were relaxed. Just tell him that you are a virgin so he will know that he isn't to blame for the possible bleeding or pain that you may experience.Just a question for you though. Why did you tell him you weren't a virgin?
What the hell? I'm not a virgin and I never bled.He'll probably be able to tell. So you better breakout moms old playgirls mags (; just look up somecool techniques... you might fool him. Good luck(:
