A Homemade Slot-Together Crib
I am writing this post not because I love the way this crib looks, although I think it is a very handsome piece of work. Nor am I writing this post as a standard nod to a DIY tutorial, because it is a pretty advanced piece of carpentry not particularly well-suited for amateurs. I am writing this post to talk about the process that went into this crib's construction, because a look at how this came together can teach us all a thing or two about how we approach challenging projects, and offer a little insight into new ways to meet them.
When I saw this slot-together (meaning no hardware is used in the construction) crib on MAKE, a creation of NY-based construction guru Adam Seim, I was taken with its clean lines and elegant construction. But what impressed me the most was Seim's approach to the challenge of making a custom crib for his family's small Brooklyn apartment. My own approach to building a crib would have included weeks of looking for plans and drawings, followed by a long build time which would have involved all of the tools in my shop and pound upon pound of hardware to hold it together. Seim, as the old adage goes, worked smarter, not harder.
First he did his research on the correct spacing between slats. Then, he drew his own design using Google Sketch-Up. Next, he chose a material called ApplyPly, a very strong formaldehyde-free plywood with a maple veneer finish, perfect for constructing a crib. His next step is the one that blew me away. He re-drew the plans in AutoCAD and emailed them to a local woodworking shop, where the shapes were cut out by a large CNC milling machine. One hour later, he had his patterns.
Seim then used just one tool, a router, to make all of the crib parts, which he then clicked together. That's it. Admittedly, he used a bolt in each corner to hold up the platform for the mattress, and he probably used a sander before finishing it with all-natural milk paint and tung oil. But that's it.
Knowing what resources are out there is such a key component when approaching a project. Whether it's Modge Podge or Washi Tape or ApplyPly, there are products that will do exactly what you are trying to do, and do it a whole lot easier than you ever imagined. By utilizing Sketch Up, AutoCAD, and a large machine at a local woodworking shop, Sein removed countless steps and hours of work from his build. How many times have we done something a certain way because that's how we learned it, and that's how it 'always' has been done?
In my short time writing for Apartment Therapy I have been constantly amazed at how many tips and tricks of the trade pop up in our posts. The technology and methodology behind everything from painting a house to screen-printing artwork changes so quickly that it is hard to keep up. But the next time you are preparing to tackle a project, take the time to look at all of the resources available to you. There are no doubt more than you ever imagined, and they just might revolutionize the way you work.

This crib is absolutely amazing, and it was so sweet of him to make the crib for his little one, especially with all of the thought that went into safety!
That said, I believe it's ApplePly, not Applyply =)
Wow. Thoroughly impressed---with the process and the end result. Awesome.
It's funny, the post on MAKE referred to it both ways, and I did a quick bit of research and found it both ways as well and went with ApplyPly. Perhaps I should have looked a bit harder :)
Perhaps he will now sell his plans?? Or, do you need FDA approval for crib designs to be mass marketed?
Oops, I meant the Consumer Product and Safety Commission (CPSC). This crib looks a ton safer than the drop-side cribs that were recalled!! :)

Update, 2 p.m. Tuesday: Motorists now can travel through the intersection at West Water and Iron streets, as a detour has been removed and the traffic light restored.
Update, 1 p.m.: Extensive flooding of the Winding River has forced the closure of the jughandle at Hospital Drive and Route 37 westbound.
Traffic is backing up along Route 37 as motorists deal with the inconvenience, one of many found throughout downtown Toms River today. Motorists are instead being routed to the Cardinal Drive jughandle.
Ambulances trying to access Community Medical Center have to make a left turn from Route 37.
Traffic flow is impeded as authorities deal with downed trees, drooping power lines and residual flooding.
Police cones currently block travel along at least two different sections of Route 527, and multiple detours are in place along the Route 37/Route 527 corridor. Furthermore, non-functioning traffic lights are creating travel difficulties for those accessing Route 166 and Hooper Avenue and Fischer Boulevard.
Power lines currently are hanging over the intersection of Clement Lane and Lakehurst Road (527), with cones in place to divert traffic to the shoulder in the northbound lane of travel. The lines appear to be compromised by a downed utility pole on nearby Signal Lane. Traffic, however, was still moving along 527 as of 11:30 a.m. although slowed along Route 37, as signs warned motorists of downed wires along Lakehurst Road. Trucks are banned from accessing that stretch of 527.
Motorists traveling Route 527 toward the Winding River area of the township are encountering another problem at Oak Ridge Parkway (527) and Sands Point Drive, where southbound motorists are diverted by traffic cones onto Sands Point Drive amid debris and fallen tree limbs in the general area. Motorist moving down Sands Point Drive also are forced to make a right once they hit Oakside Drive. Utility trucks are visible on scene.
Further south, motorists also are encountering a detour at Oak Ridge Parkway and Cardinal Drive due to downed trees and power lines, although those traveling back up Cardinal are forced to make a right onto Blue Jay Drive, before encountering Route 37.
Busy Hooper Avenue hasn't been spared traffic difficulties either. Motorists coming to East Water Street will encounter a blinking traffic light, downtown.,
And the jughandle from Hooper southbound onto Fischer Boulevard is currently closed due to non-functioning traffic lights. Also, Fischer Boulevard traffic heading toward Hooper will be redirected north on Hooper only. A left turn onto Hooper south from Fischer is not possible, with cones and traffic tape redirecting traffic northbound.
Additionally, the right lane of Fischer Boulevard north between Yellowbank Road and Shore Boulevard is closed due to a fallen tree in the road.
On Cedar Grove Road and Bay Avenue, the right lane is blocked on Cedar Grove east of the intersection, as crews tend to a tree that is fallen onto a house near the intersection.
Check back with Patch for updates as they become available.

It takes just seven seconds for nicotine to be absorbed into the brain from cigarettes.
That is faster absorption than from an IV injection.
How nicotine works so well.
When smoke is inhaled, because the lungs have a very large surface area, the nicotine is readily absorbed and goes straight to the brain. There it is taken up by cell surface receptors – those tiny mailboxes that take things from the outside to the inside of cells.
Just like buying a bigger mailbox to handle a larger amount of incoming mail, the brain creates more nicotine receptors to take care of the influx of nicotine, which mimics the function of a major neurotransmitter (acetylcholine). The brain uses the nicotine as if it were acetylcholine, and it then creates electrical signals everywhere in the brain, which then affect every area of brain function.
Because delivery of nicotine is so simple and powerful, and creates actual physical changes in the brain, it is more addictive than either heroine or cocaine.
Nicotine addiction is real.
There are two major parts of addiction to cigarettes: physical and mental/psychological. Both areas need to be addressed in order to break the hold of addiction.
The physical addiction shows up by the physical changes the brain makes in responding to nicotine. Remove nicotine, and suddenly the brain believes it is starved for its' major neurotransmitter. Just as one starved for food will do anything to find some, the brain sends out powerful signals saying, "get me more!"
The mental/psychological addiction shows up in the peer pressure to smoke, the example of parents and teachers and others who smoke, and the "good feeling" stress response to smoking. Teens who smoke say that could quit any time, they just don't want to quite yet. They're invincible, they'll quit later, and it really does help them deal with adolescent stresses in the moment.
The 20-minute turn around.
Twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes is how long it takes to begin the healing process. Twenty minutes after the last cigarette, the body begins to reverse the damage caused by the drugs (nicotine and others) inhaled, and healing begins.
How to help a teenager who smokes.
Teenagers seem to be well informed about the dangers of smoking. But many of them still smoke. They may be copying the example set by parents or other adults around them. They may be responding to peer pressure or trying to "look cool". They may be using cigarettes to deal with the very real stresses in their lives. And they may further justify smoking by saying, "at least I'm not using other drugs!" Putting down a drug as addicting as cigarettes takes a level of self-awareness and determination that most teenagers don't have on their own, and absolutely requires the active and supportive involvement of parents and others to be successful.
While educating teens about the health risks of smoking is important, its probably not enough to get them to put down cigarettes if they've already developed the addiction. Punishing them, using scare tactics, or isolating them from friends who smoke is unlikely to produce the desired result. What does work to help teenagers who smoke? Here are some suggestions.
- Prevention is always the best defense against addiction. Have frequent conversations with your teenager about the power of nicotine addiction, and actively engage them in planning for the inevitable moment when they'll be tempted (or even pressured) to try it.
- If your teenager is already smoking, sit down and have a serious conversation together. Answer questions and mis-perceptions they may have about the dangers and the way nicotine and other drugs in cigarettes are affecting their brain and other parts of their body.
- Rather than trying to impose your determined will on your teen who smokes, create a collaborative atmosphere. Find out when they're most tempted to smoke. Role-play better responses when they're offered a cigarette. Come up with healthier stress responses that make sense to your teenager.
- Once your teenager agrees give up the addiction to cigarettes, be prepared for a rough ride for awhile. Prepare your teenager for the experience of withdrawal. Explain what is happening in their brain and body, and give plenty of grace for their moodiness or snappy attitudes.
- Encourage healthy detox habits like drinking plenty of water and eating lots of fruits and vegetables. This will help your teenager's body to recover much more quickly from the affects of smoking.
- If you're a parent who smokes, STOP! You will be the most powerful influence on your teenager's ability and willingness to create a new healthy habit when you are willing to do whatever it takes to end your own addiction.
- Get help. Individual responses to ending an addiction as powerful as to nicotine vary widely. Even teens who have not smoked long can experience intense withdrawal and may need more help than your support. Enlist the support of their doctor, peer group, and others.
- Make a grand adventure out of this process of becoming a non-smoker. Remind them frequently that the physical screaming from a brain deprived of the drug only lasts about a minute at a time. It will get better quickly!
- Finally, if they relapse, don't let up on the encouragement to stop smoking. Teens have an especially difficult time sticking with their resolve to end a nicotine addiction. They don't have the life experience of slogging through a tough time and getting to the other side. Give them your active encouragement!
There are numerous online resources available to help teenagers and young adults who have made the decision to become a non-smoker. Make use of them! Eighty percent of adults who smoke cigarettes began smoking before the age of 18. Today is the perfect day to become a proactive parent and help your teen stop smoking.
Your turn:
Where are you on the smoking subject? Current smoker wanting to quit? Frustrated parent of a smoking teenager? Smoking parent concerned that you won't be able to quit yourself and that you're setting the wrong example for your children? On your "never-smoked" soap box and not quite understanding the intense addiction of nicotine? Share your stories and struggles here so we can support each other!

The Mashpee Woodlot Revolt of 1833 – part IV
(continued from part III)
The woodlots of Mashpee were mostly probably near the Santuit River in the immediate vicinity of Reverend Fish's parsonage which abutted Santuit less than a mile south of the Trout Mound grave. Given the need to haul the cordwood to Cotuit Bay for shipment to Nantucket, and the arrangement which permitted the Reverend Fish to lease logging rights to help defray his living expenses and the costs of the Indian Meetinghouse, one can assume the location of the woodlot at the center of this story of rebellion and nullification was somewhere near the current intersection of Routes 28 and 130 near the historical center of Wampanoag life near the nexus of the herring run and Santuit Pond. The lots were worked by two brothers, Joseph and William Sampson, sons of Squire Josiah Sampson, the landowner who built "Sampson's Folly" on the Old Kings Road and owned the grist mill on the Santuit River near the site of Maushop Stables, a horse farm and equestrian center near greens and fairways of the modern Willowbend golf course. The Sampsons were Cotuit gentry, an old colonial family intermarried with the Crockers, perhaps the oldest and most venerable clan in colonial Santuit. They were landowners, and Sampson's Island, the sand spit at the head of Cotuit Bay is named for them.
The Sampson brothers probably had a crew of men, perhaps even Wampanoags, to help them clear, cut, and stack the scrub oak and pine. Oxen were the preferred beast of burden on Cape Cod, so one can picture a group of men, in shirtsleeves on a humid early summer day, toiling in the shady woods with the back breaking task of loading chopped piles of wood onto wagons for the two mile trip down a sandy Main Street to the piers around Cotuit's Hooper's Landing. It would have been of no surprise to the Sampsons or any white man living in the area, that the tribe was agitated and looking for a confrontation. In fact, Apess wrote afterwards the Sampsons "were known to have vowed to disregard the Mashpee's declarations" to stay out of Mashpee. The events of July 1, 1833, a deadline declared by Apess and the tribe in their grievances were foretold and to be expected: the Reverend Fish's panicked missive to the Governor, the shrill attention paid to the affair in the Barnstable Patriot, and the fact that most of the congregation in the "Indian" meetinghouse were white parishioners from Santuit and Cotuit doubtlessly made the Wampanoag's growing unrest a topic of hot discussion and the source of great fear. The events that took place that Monday morning had been set into motion months before.
It began when Apess went for a "walk" in the woods that morning. The Sampsons and two other men were loading wood onto a wagon. Doubtlessly they had been working the lot for sometime, the sounds of axes and saws and their labor announcing their intention for sometime, so while Apess' account of the events makes it appear it was a chance encounter, on may assume he was out looking for trouble at a known location of white incursion.
Apess confronted the four whites, told them to unload the wagons and leave, and when they refused, he left to gather some support, returning soon thereafter with eight Wampanoag men.
No punches were thrown or weapons brandished. There is no record of a fight or assault of any kind and the confrontation ended with the departure of the whites from Mashpee back over the Santuit River to Cotuit. And so ended one of the first acts of peaceful civil disobedience by a native tribe in the history of the United States, an act made by one of the first tribes to be subjugated, defeated and assimilated by the whites, a precursor to decades of rebellion, atrocity and contempt between other tribes as the country expanded west to find its manifest destiny and uprooted one tribe after another. Wounded Knee, Little Big Horn, the Trail of Tears ... what happened in the woods that morning was perhaps the first and most overlooked statement of independence and revolt by a native tribe in the two hundred year history of white/Indian relations.
As Apess and the Wampanoags made their stand, Governor Lincoln had been roused by the Reverend Fish's panicked missive and sent a personal emissary, one Josiah Fiske, a member of the Governor's Council, to Mashpee to investigate. Fiske arrived the following day, July 2, 1833 and spread the word that he wanted to meet with the tribe on Wednesday the 3rd. Fiske carried instructions from the Governor to "confine your actions to the application of the civil power...the Sheriff will, with your advice, call out the posse comitatus, and should there be reasons to fear the efficiency of this report, I will be present personally, to direct any military requisitions."
Governor Lincoln was on the verge of sending in the militia to quell the Wampanoag rebellion.
No one showed up to Fiske's meeting. In a classic power play, the tribe refused to acknowledge Fiske and instead, the president of the tribe, Daniel Amos,delivered to Fiske an invitation to meet the tribe at the meetinghouse. Ironically, the tribe, so alienated from the historic building given to them by Richard Bourne, a church that had turned its back on them and become a place of worship for Cotuit's whites, didn't have a key to their own meetinghouse and had to break in to open the door.
Fiske arrived at the meeting with the sheriff of Barnstable County, John Reed, in a display of legal force. Reed told the tribe they were breaking the law and Apess indignantly replied: "...the laws ought to be altered without delay, that it was perfectly manifest they were unconstitutional; and that, even if they were not so, there was nothing in them to authorize the white inhabitants to act as they had done."
What Apess declared was the very contemporary concept of "nullification" that had been sweeping the political debate in the nation's capital. Students of early American History know a central issue was the definition of federal versus state rights and striking a balance between local and central rule. In South Carolina, perhaps the most fervent hotbed of states rights, the US Senator John C. Calhoun had lobbied vigorously in Congress to shift power from the federal government back to the states, and the South Carolina legislature has passed an "Ordinance of Nullification" declaring some pernicious and unpopular federal tariffs to be unconstitutional. Apess seized on this political concept of "nullification" and afterwards, in his account of the Woodlot Revolt, referred to it as an act of nullification by the Wampanoags, essentially a rejection of the concept that Mashpee and its natives were subject to the laws of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Nullification, in the context of the events of 1833, was a statement of sovereign status, in essence declaring the "plantation of Marshpee" to be its own political entity, an "island" ruled by its people, and not the laws of those towns and counties and state that surrounded it like an ocean of American regulations.
Nullification for the Wampanoags was nothing less than a declaration that they rejected the paternal overseer system, rejected the authority of Harvard College to select its minister, and that they were going to revert to the intentions of Richard Bourne in declaring Mashpee to be an autonomous place owned by Wampanoags, governed by Wampanoags, and free from the rule of American law.
Whatever the eloquent Pequot activist said on July 4, 1833 to Fiske and Sheriff Reed, it didn't matter. Apess was arrested on the spot by Reed and hauled off to jail in Barnstable village where he was arraigned on charges of inciting a riot and trespassing. Fiske immediately wrote the Governor that the arrest "had the desired effect" and that the rebellion was crushed. He described Apess' arrest: "The Indians seemed to have forgotten for a moment that they had muskets with them, and looked with perfect amazement at the sheriff when he had taken their champion from the Moderator's seat in the meetinghouse and conducted him with great dignity to a seat in his carriage at the door."
Apess was released on bail after a few nights in jail and returned to Mashpee. The whites in Cotuit and throughout the Cape were not pleased that he was free. Apess wrote: "
Apess on the white reaction: "They bellowed like mad bulls and spouted like whales mortally gored by the harpoon, I do not think the figure of speech would be too strong. There was a great deal of loose talk and a pretty considerable uproar."
No one expected that Apess would be able to keep up his agitation for long, and certainly no one expected a white man to come to his defense. But one brilliantly did, a Cape Cod native and attorney, Benjamin F. Hallett. Born in Barnstable, educated at Brown, Hallet studied the law and began a career as a liberal journalist in Providence, the progressive traditional refuge of liberalism and tolerance founded by Roger William in reaction to the tyrannical strictures of the old witch burning Puritans. Hallett went on to be editor of the Boston Advocate and the Boston Daily Advertiser -- this was the golden age of very politically biased newspapers and Hallett's were definitely far to the left, presaging the abolitionist movement blossoming among the intellectual Brahmins of Boston and Concord. An active Democrat, Hallett was anti-Masonic and very outspoken. He ran unsuccessfully for Congress later in his career, and eventually was appointed the United Stated District Attorney for Massachusetts by President Franklin Pierce.
Apess could not have asked for a better defender than Hallett. Not only was Hallett a Cape Codder, he was a skilled and excellent litigator backed by the power of his own newspaper. Hallett made Apess famous among the abolitionists of Boston, rallying to the Pequot minister's defense the sympathies of what would become the most disruptive political force in the mid-1800s. Hallett defended Apess on the charges, had them dismissed, but promptly took the case further by filing legislation on Beacon Hill to resolve the status of the tribe once and for all. He argued:
- The Mashpee Wampanoags never consented to the white's "guardian" system that took control of their finances and affairs via the board of overseers.
- The actions of the whites towards the Wampanoags, beginning with the formation of the plantation by Bourne, and then thereafter, respected the Wampanoag's superior title to the land. This was key in that the English legal system cherished the concept of private property and deeds, something utterly foreign to the Wampanoags but which they were blessed with by the foresight of Bourne in creating and deeding to them the lands of Mashpee for their own use and not the use or sale to the whites.
- Finally, Hallett seized on the fact that there was no treaty in place between the whites and the Wampanoags as was the case with other tribes in the mid- and far-western parts of the country. Because there was no treaty defining their status, the Wampanoags -- Hallett argued -- they remained a sovereign nation subject to no white laws or taxation.
Accompanied by Apess, Joseph Amos and Issac Combs, Hallett went to the state house in Boston to make his case for Wampanoag independence. The legislature agreed and in March 1834, the legislature abolished the board of overseers, appointed a one-person "commissioner" to act at the State's liason with the tribe, and refused to intervene with the religious issues defined by the situation concerning Phineas Fish and his "employer:" Harvard College. Harvard's President Josiah Quincy dispatched the Reverend James Walker to travel to Mashpee and report on the spiritual situation. Apess, for reasons unknown, renounced his Methodist ordination and started his own "Free and United Church" while Blind Joe Amos continued to lead the popular Baptist Congregation and Phineas Fish muddled along with his all white Congregationalists who raised the funds to build him a church of his own in Santuit (it isn't clear if Fish ever preached another sermon after the July 4, 1833 meeting in the Indian Meetinghouse that resulted in Apess' arrest, but he eventually moved into his own church within Santuit proper.
Harvard's emissary, Reverend Walker, wrote in a report entitled "Facts in Regard to the Difficulties at Marshpee" that Apess was "now understood to be rapidly losing the Indians' confidence and not without good reason."
The Aftermath
While all but forgotten until Apess' memoirs were republished in the 1990s, the Mashpee Woodlot Revolt stands as a significant milestone in native-white relations in America. The Wampanoags enjoyed a period of self-rule until 1870 when the tribe eventually petitioned the Commonwealth to incorporate Mashpee as a town, a controversial move sought by non-Wampanoag spouses who wanted the same rights they had enjoyed outside of the plantation such as the vote. Harvard stopped the practice of sending ministers to Mashpee. Fish moved out of town and continued to minister to his flock in his new church in Santuit.
Apess? Well he did indeed fall out of favor in Mashpee -- he was an outsider and while part-Pequot was not a Wampanoag. In 1838 all he owned in Mashpee was sold for debts in a bankruptcy action. In 1839 he died suddenly in a boarding house in New York City and was buried with little to no fanfare.
When he writings were rediscovered by historians it was a revelation that such an eloquent, literate, passionate voice had once spoken so passionately for Indian rights at a time when slavery was still the law of the land and Indians, blacks and other dispossessed members of society were completely dismissed and subjugated by 19th Century America. Apess' actions in Mashpeen in 1833 displayed an activism and passion for civil disobedience that presaged Henry David Thoreau's famous essay on Civil Disobedience sixteen years later. Apess and the cause of the Wampanoags ignited abolitionist sympathies in Boston, helping coalesce a movement that was to drive the country to war within three decades.
As the historian Barry O'Connell wrote of Apess:
"In him, from a more tempered perspective, might be recognized a masterful polemicist and a canny strategist in leading a small minority to persuade a dominant majority to treat the minority with some respect."

Thanks for the correction. I'd love to read your thesis at some point.
# colleen grangeron 28 Jul 2014 at 9:17 am
Oh is this you David? I would like to have an outsider to read this. By the way are you this 'David Churbuck is a blogger, technology journalist, and co-founder of Forbes.com'?
Or another one and my personal query is what made you write the paper to begin with? tks, colleen
# David Churbuckon 28 Jul 2014 at 9:57 am
It is I! — yes I am that David Churbuck. The paper was written for the Cotuit Historical Society for one of their speaker-series events held in oct. 2013.
I'm interested in colonial history, especially the King Philip War.
# colleen grangeron 28 Jul 2014 at 10:00 am
William Apess is my first author I am examining. Though my genre is English literature I had to make up crazy idea that involved biology (the memes the brain and how we evolved to learn) then apply it to the sub-ideas that make up Manifest Destiny. Cool. You do any creative writing? That is my baby once the Phd is in my hand. Then I have to earn a living.

Good lord I can't stress this enough. I was lucky to have a ton of teamers this summer willing to help me everyday and well they kicked major ass.
But I think I want to add one more to the "You know what your job is"…Getting you in to help DOES NOT mean getting you in to hang with the band backstage and no, I'm not going to get you back there. You're here to work and not to run around making a fool of yourself.
To all those teamers out there, believe me when I say…the extra effort you put in to helping us out pays off in the long run. Those kids that really go the extra mile are the ones I remember (& will make sure to help later on).

Driving down the alleys of Sunnyside the marks of gang graffiti are evident on fences, garbage cans and garages.
The blue paint of the "south" gangs and red for the "north," the back allies are much like a war zone with rival gangs crossing out competitors scrawls to write their own. But in recent months, the "war" has left the trenches and spilled over into the streets as homes and businesses in town have been the target of gang graffiti. In December, 13 reports of graffiti were made and so far this year four additional reports have been filed, according to Sunnyside Police Department records.
Apartment buildings and houses have been targeted with gang graffiti, said Capt. Phil Schenck of the Sunnyside Police Department.
"Usually when it's on a residence it's an abandoned residence," said Schenck.
He said this week paint markings on an apartment building was reported.
"We have reason to believe that the people who wrote the graffiti is related somehow to someone who lives there," said Schenck.
A house on Ninth Street has been hit because it's vacant, according to Schenck.
"People who have rental property should rent it to help prevent graffiti," said Schenck.
As graffiti is investigated, Schenck said officers take pictures to compare the styles to other vandalism in the area.
"Much of the graffiti that's showing up right now is being done by the same individual," said Schenck.
Usually, an increase in graffiti in town signifies that someone just got out of jail or is just joining a gang, said Schenck.
"We're definitely seeing an increase in gang related activity," he said. "It is nothing compared to the mid 90s, but it is something we're trying to address."
In most cases, graffiti is found in areas that aren't well lit, said Schenck. He explained that buildings in well lit and high traffic areas that have recently been vandalized are most likely being hit by people living nearby.
The real problem has been covering up the graffiti, which is also a deterrent to the spray painted scrawling.
Schenck said spray paint is very inexpensive, but property owners who have been tagged with graffiti want to match up paint on their existing building.
"Paint is expensive and it is very hard to get it to match up this time of year," said Schenck. "We're kind of in a dilemma right now because its not warm enough to paint."
"We're dealing with typically kids who don't go to school," said Schenck. "These kids don't have any responsibilities."
He said the police department is still involved in a partnership with the school district, but a lot of the kids are not involved in the school district.
"We need people to call us when they see something out of place or when they see something suspicious," said Schenck.
The Sunnyside Police Department is taking measures to help curb graffiti in Sunnyside, and Schenck said it could be worse.
"We've got an officer that focuses on gang activity," said Schenck. Officers are also contacting people in areas that have been targets for graffiti.
He added that the police department is offering rewards for information leading to the arrest of suspects in the graffiti cases.

Canada's Gagnon wins Altenmarkt super-combined
Canada's Marie-Michele Gagnon competes duirng the Women's Super Combined Super G race as part of the Super Combined event of the FIS World Cup held in Altenmarkt Zauchensee, Austria on January 12, 2014
The 24-year-old finished with a total time of 2min 05.55sec after one super-G and one slalom run, ahead of Austrian Michaela Kirchgasser and German double Olympic champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch.
Kirchgasser, crowned world silver medallist in the slalom last year, was 0.32sec behind the leader, with pre-race favourite Hoefl-Riesch at 0.39sec.
Gagnon, who only had one World Cup podium to her name before Sunday -- a slalom third-place in Are, Sweden in March 2012 -- was 16th after the super-G in the morning.
A strong run and mistakes by her closest rivals however ensured her first World Cup victory, to her own surprise.
"I didn't expect that. I was just doing my best... It's just incredible," she reacted afterwards.
Kirchgasser improved from a 20th place after the super-G to take her fourth World Cup super-combined podium.
Hoefl-Riesch, the reigning world and Olympic champion in the discipline, had been widely expected to dominate the race but had to settle for her second third-place after Saturday's downhill in the Austrian resort.
The leader after the first round, Austria's Nicole Hosp looked strong at the start of the slalom as she chased her first World Cup win in six years.
But in the end, the combined world bronze medallist and former overall World Cup winner couldn't keep up and finished just off the podium in fourth place.
"I was too far from the gates, I didn't manage it that well," she admitted.
"But it was great to have such a great super-G," said the 2007 giant slalom world champion.
Another favourite aside from Hoefl-Riesch had been Tina Maze of Slovenia but she finished sixth.
Liechtenstein's Tina Weirather and Austrian Anna Fenninger who clocked the second and third fastest times in the super-G, were 17th and eighth in the final results.
Super-combined results are tallied from one super-G or downhill run and one slalom run, requiring the athletes to master the skills needed for both speed and technical events.
This was the first of just two super-combined races this World Cup season and the only one before the Olympics next month, providing a crucial test for the skiers ahead of Sochi.
The women now move on to nearby Flachau for the night slalom event on Tuesday.

Choose to have a good marriage
- Friday, June 11, 1999
Have you found your marriage relationship slipping? Often it is because of choices that you've made along the way that determine where you are today.
Marriage choices you can make:
- For better, for worse. The person you married six, 10, or 20 years ago is not the same person you are married to today. It's a good thing, too, because a life that isn't changing and growing is not the kind of person you want to spend a lifetime with. Often it's hard to overlook the physical changes that occur over the years - the lovehandles that aren't lovely and the receding hairlines. Temper the better with the worse. What are some "worse" things that your spouse has endured from you? How can you stop "enduring" and start loving the person whose changes may not be what they had in mind either?
- To speak or not to speak. Good communication is a necessity and a rarity in most marriages. Our days are so filled with talk - the radio, TV, memos, magazines, and newspapers. What is missing is face-to-face talk with spouses. Couples need to preserve time in their day to really talk and really listen. It won't happen naturally. Communication skills must be desired and cultivated - in both spouses - in order to bring you closer.
- Making your house a home. The benefits of a loving home, a haven from the pressures of the world, and a place of comfort is what most families are looking for. When one person is overly burdened with the task, there is a lack of joy for the whole family. Couples need to figure out ways to partner in the care and daily routines of a home. When all members of the family share in the care of the home, there is a spirit of togetherness as well as a more smoothly run home.
- Marrying the whole family. Like it or not, when you marry you also marry your spouse's family. Realize that many of the qualities that you love in your spouse come from the parents, and that for 20 years or so before you came on the scene your in-laws had the greatest influence on your spouse. The Bible is clear about leaving parents when you marry. Do you seek to have a meaningful loving relationship with your parents and in-laws? Do you find ways for your spouse to maintain a relationship with his/her parents?
- Live in love. The love you felt during the courtship days may change in style, but doesn't have to change in substance. Loving another person is a decision not based on circumstances, but on relationship. A loving outlook on life can shape all your dealings for the better. What emotion monopolizes your marriage? Has anger or frustration replaced delight and love?
- Till death do us part. Divorce is not God-ordained. Wanting out of a marriage needs to be seen as an ominous warning to make changes fast in your marriage, not as the beginning of a separation or divorce. Instead of thinking about getting out, determine what must be put in to a marriage to make it last. Don't overlook Christian counseling and books, marriage weekends, and the support of friends to help you and your spouse re-commit to your marriage relationship.

22 year old Emmanuel Sylvester was charged with setting a fire inside the Walgreen's Pharmacy that caused the store to close for at least three days, and damaged merchandise in the store.
Officials say that Sylvester was mad about a negative work evaluation, and set the fire as revenge.
Investigators say Sylvester set fire to a bag of charcoal on a shelf on aisle 6 shortly before the store closed, sparking the blaze. The video surveillance camera on that aisle was not working.
"We can assume maybe he did have knowledge that that camera was not working. But either way we can place him at the scene. We know he had a motive," said Chief James Carswell.
Investigators say Sylvester was one of only two people in the store Sunday night when the fire was set. He is being held in the Dougherty County jail.
The store remains closed today, and officials say they are not sure when it will re-open. The estimated damage to the store contents is more than $100,000.
He was arrested Tuesday afternoon, and charged with Arson in the first degree.

Californication faces a dilemma in Season 4. Check out photos of the Californication cast
The Showtime comedy, which returns Sunday at 9/8c, ended its madcap third season with a gut punch: Hank (David Duchovny) was arrested on assault charges moments after telling his ex, Karen (Natasha McElhone), of his tryst with Mia (Madeline Zima), who, unbeknownst to Hank at the time, was underage. And while that reveal presents plenty of drama for Season 4, it also unearthed a crucial secret that's carried the show since the pilot.
"We've been using that event as a motor for behavior and plot since the beginning," Duchovny tells TVGuide.com. "And I guess that now that is no longer a secret, it is no longer a motor. In a way we're free of it, which will be interesting for the next year, and we'll have to...

Burning a crucifix on someone's lawn is shock value? Jeeze, that sounds a lot more like threat, harassment and a slew of other illegal activities.
Call me old fashioned, but I remember days back in (AOL) NWN when the very notion of a guild/team named anything other then something (even thinly) RP-based was unheard of.
While I agree that the initial post is "wishy-washy" it is attempting to spark conversation by not taking a hardline stance.
Sadly, we're not going to see "better" names because, for Blizzard, the sort of RP-naming that is truly called upon for a Swords and Sorcery RPG is a thing of the past. These names should be stricken for the fact that they target a certain group hatefully (with the exception of "Jesus had a Soulstone, THAT is clever and innocent) and, PC be damned, I think we're all intelligent enough to realize that we can do without this sort of childishness.

Cought with red hands1 Reviews
The first class room was a dud. No good ones. Just shity ones from the dollar store. The next was okay. About one was worth taking. I shove it in my lunch box as always. The last one. It was a gold mine! Five printed books! All mine all free! I take them all.
As I moved, I knock a note book on the ground. It has enrgy. A darkness to it. Like it's hiding some thing evil.
I pickk it up. It makes me shiver. Tingles run through me. My body goes white hot. I keep this one.
I turn around and bump into some thing. Erase that. Someone. His eyes were so dark they were almost black. His hair and clothes matched the same black. The hair starts at mid forehead and went down to his chin. A ring was on his lip. This also matched. His hands digging into my forearms. He looks angry.
"Well, well, well. It seems I have cought the book thief." his voice lingers as his eyes look over me. "With my book in her hands no less."
"Your-um-hurting me" i wisper quietly. He scares me. One of the very few things/people that do.
"Am I now? Would you care to explain your self?" his voice smooth and daring.
"Would you care to let me go? Then I might open my mouth" I glare at him. Our eyes lock in a heated stare. He loosies his grip and I yank my self away.
"Explain, girl"
"And if I don't?" I fight agenst him.
"Your little secret will roll through this school faster than you can say stop." His eyes don't lie. He will do this.
"I just came here to steal. That's it."
"Then why are you holding my book?" he looks at my hand. He takes it away from me. The rush is gone. My body is back to normal.
"It has a great feel to it. Just touching it gives me all thrill of stealing! What's in there?!" I smile widly. Like a druggy having his shot at meth.
His eye soften slightly. He looks like he's trying to read my mind. "Be gone. book thief" i do as told. Right at the door, i look back "thanks....?"
"Jason" he cracks a smirk. He shows some teeth. My heart star to pound. He makes me smile back. Maybe I'll come back tomarrow.

My guild is a rather casual one, we have a weekly raid, but that's the extent of it. It's mostly about friendship and what not.
However, when we had a major burst in hacking around December, my guild leader turned off the bank for everyone that didn't have an authenticator. Before the mass hackings began(mostly users who haven't been on for months), the bank was open to all of us. She just made a new rank "Supply Officer" and made everyone with an authenticator in there. We also use the lowest ranking "Holding" for people who are suspected to have been hacked. Most of us got authenticators now, but before that it was just too much of a pain to have the bank wiped multiple times.
Make everyone able to deposit goods; make only those with authenticators able to withdraw. People who need stuff out of the guild bank will just need to be slightly inconvenient by waiting for a "supply officer" to take it our for them. It'll be a lot easier.

How do you reduce the transmission rate when govt's won't pay for a needle exchange program let alone antiretrovirals which are $1700 pmonth
I have a real interest in needle exchange programs and really loved what Elizabeth Pisani discussed in her TED talk Sex, Drugs and HIV - lets get rational. The problem I have is that Governments who don't provide Healthcare for their citizens won't provide condom programs or needle exchange programs let alone supply HIV positive individuals with antiretrovirals that control their tranmission levels. Antiretrovirals cost somewhere in the region of $1,700 - $2,000 per month. How do we reduce the cost of these much needed meds and make them more available. The other question I would love to put out there is that being on these drugs has a certain stigma attached to them as well as actually admitting that you have HIV so how do we address this as well. In theory HIV rates should be diminishing but they are not.

Apr 12 2011: The problem is that if a given government doesn't provide healthcare to its citizens, why should it start doing so just for the limited applications you mention? I'm not saying they aren't worthy, just that presumably somebody somewhere has to decide what gets funded and what doesn't.
I imagine the stigma you mention is because anybody with HIV is assumed to be either an addict or gay, and society is still full of people who can't handle that yet.

Oksana Grigorieva made it clear to the family law judge Friday -- she wants a bundle from Mel Gibson, including a half a million bucks for the alleged trauma she claims Mel caused her 14-year-old son, fathered by actor Timothy Dalton.
TMZ broke the story ... Mel and Oksana met separately with the judge and a mediator Friday, trying to hammer out a settlement in the custody war that is laced with financial overtones. We're told Oksana asked for a huge amount of money for various reasons, and one involves her son Alexander (aka Sasha).
Oksana claims Mel traumatized the boy during the January 6, 2009 explosive fight, which ended with physical violence .... Oksana has alleged Mel knocked two of her teeth out, while Mel says he merely slapped her because she was out of control and endangering the baby.
Oksana claims Mel was abusive to Sasha during the argument, calling him names and scaring him so much he allegedly hid under the bed.
Oksana also claimed on another occasion Mel threw her son onto a table, but Mel's camp has denied it.
We're told Oksana and Mel are still far apart in settling the claims -- both financial and custody of Lucia -- and the mediation continues next week.
constantpeace Your welcome lol!
Parker Yeah, of course, ROL were the baddies who edited out all the names and OG just lied in an interview and claimed she did it to cover their asses - that your new take on it? ROL being her p.r team had good cause to edit the tapes themselves to an even greater degree for shock value too - which means the tapes played were um EDITED, TAMPERED with and not evidence but played for malicious effect!
You seem to keep on about the fact OG was never charged, so there can't be evidence, well as far as the LASD were concerned there was evidence! Unfortunately the Cops can only investigate, they can't prosecute that's down to the DA (who was previously linked to corruption in office)! The LASD announced their own displeasure and disappointment when the DA refused to act!
As for the photos the Dentist's own staff claim there were NO bruises on her face when she visited his office, the doctor she saw also stated there were no marks on either Lucia or OG!! Anybody can fake a photo to look as if they've been punched - with enough make-up -, the point is the photos were NOT taken by the Cops or Doctors treating her for an assault which means THEY are inadmissable in court as evidence that Mel hit OG, since their authenticity CAN'T be verified! It works that way even for you or me and the man in the street,try being beaten to a pulp sometime and trying to use your own photos alone as evidence for the cops, they can't accept it unless they see corresponding bruises on you and then they have to take their own pictures to authenticate what was seen!! Since she NEVER once reported DV, there are no corresponding photos or reports to corroborate her story!
OG herself claimed that Sasha was shouting at her like his father (TD) used to - somehow I don't see him cowering under a bed, behind the sofa or anywhere else but that's JMO, I know many will disagree!!
I don't know what happened in the incident when the kid injured his arm. Kids get into messes (I know I did) and some people freak over the sight of blood. I agree it's not the most productive reaction for sure.
But no one said she was shaking the baby during the incident.
However relating to Mel's claim, AGAIN had she been doing what he said she was, he would have taken the tot to the ER– certainly not let the mother walk out with her. Since on the tape he tells her "You deserved it" and threatens her and so forth, his story isn't plausible and even admits in the emails/texts how unspeakably sorry he is, it provides further evidence that he was the one who was out of control not her. He sent further emails that support that– in them he, is deeply concerned that he can't control his rage.
SO even if you think Oksana is a rat, inept mother, hysteric whatever, it still doesn't improve his actions any.
Is Oksana characteristically a hysteric in emergencies? I don't know. Possibly. But as things relate to THAT incident on THAT night, which is what we were discussing, it seems the problem was on his end.
If the texts, emails, tapes, persistent voice mails don't paint a consistent picture of the night and beyond that night, then nothing will.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him think....
Bunny, don't be so hard on Parker. He/she believes what they believe. At least, Parker is open to stating why they think as they do. I can respect that even though I may disagree with their conclusions.
Just wanted to say; I miss you! Glad to see you still pop in once and a while.
Sam Hiya, Hugs lol!
Kathleen Hugs to you too lol! D'you still have the link to those pictures from the Sherman Oaks home showing the stained glass windows by any chance lol?
Hello to all! Now I can go back to lurking, I see the experts are on board. LOL

Hi Constantpeace! Bye Constantpeace!

Night guys, time for my head to hit a pillow lol! Take care Hugs
JS & Parker: I thought my post may have triggered so many rapid fire 'dislikes' that it was flagged for expulsion.
So true, Mad Mel created one selfish, big headed monster. He probably assumed that because she's a bit dim he could always control her. He never imagined she would or could flip the switch on him the way she has. She's not inherently slick so those tapes must have shocked the hell out of him. It's highly probable that MM's machinations wore off on her and in spite of all of her many blunders, it's working for her. I get the impression she kinda likes the game. She's a risk taker so it must give her the same kind of high gamblers get when they double down. Most sensible women with a bit of dignity would have taken the 13 mil and walked away.
What seemed to bother MM the most was the fact that after all he did for her, she didn't love him. At least not the way Robin did. Who knows if Oxy tried to keep a lid on things or not. It's too hard to understand a word she says. My guess is she's anything but an enabler because she's a narcissist herself. That's why they clash so much. Mel got the same inflated head during his "Passion of the Christ" phase.
It's not out of the realm of possibility that he laid a hand on that kid, or he raged at him or his mother in his presence. He's developed a bit of a track record for that hasn't he? It seems like he realized early on that Oxy is not the deep, highly educated and sophisticated woman he expected her to be, so he devalued her and treated her like a common whore. (ie. the bj demands) Anyone who's heard those tapes can't deny he's abusive.
Mel seems like the type who hates to lose. He'll spend more money on this than what he could have gotten away with with an apology and a one time bump in the settlement offer. It's sucking the life out of him and he looks terrible. Not to mention that it's drawing more bad publicity, especially on slow news days.
Dalton played his hand much better. He probably feigned only slight interest in custody and gave her the usual cut. Mel doesn't know when to fold 'em.
Mel offered her plenty in the beginning. He was ready to "fold em" in May 2010. Oxy reneged and wanted more money and started her DV campaign. That's when Mel bucked and said "this far and no farther". I cannot blame him for that. Once you give in to a blackmailer, you're on the hook forever. They never go away, and yes, they will suck the life out of you. Oxy's mistake was making everything public. His greatest fear. Now that it's all out there, he has nothing to fear from her. He doesn't have to dance to her tune, or tiptoe through the tulips.
He can now take a stand, the worst is behind him, he still has his fans, he still has some respect in the film industry, and he still has the love of his real family.
Whatever else happens, Oxy will be vilified until the day she dies. And that, my friend, she did to herself.
It's not fair to see what is "completely credible" since we have not seen the what the court has.
SO you're left with what evidence there is. The tapes, emails and texts. All of which strongly support her story re the DV case. And 1st time offenders often don't get a stiff penalty.
The court upheld a limited amount of sleepovers a week. What else he'll get is yet to be determined. But remember even Sheen gets time with his kid after beating Brooke and holding a knife to her throat (altho I don't if he'll get much time now.) Personally I think there's celebrity justice at play in these cases. Consider that Mel crashed his car into a rock, said he didn't know how it happened and the cops didn't even insist he go to the hospital. Had Oksana done that I think Mel's most devoted fans would be all over her.
Had he slapped her to stop her from hitting the baby, he wouldn't have received any penalty. He would have been a hero. Instead he hounded her on the phone, cursed her, made racist and sexist remarks and threatened her. And of course he would have gone to the ER that night and not let Oksana leave the house with the baby as I said. Plea bargains are to save face basically. And wasted time.
Otherwise the alleged changing dentist's story was conjured-up via "a source close to the files of the case" or something like that. People swallowed the story and weighed it in as if it were fact! But as I said it's just standard tab MO, made possible thru legal loopholes. They all do it. In fact I think you can look up how tabs get away with lying– there are a few sites, and you'll see for yourself this is one way. Useful when they have no new info or just want to embellish.
Again the reason they took so long on the extortion case is not bc they were taking it VERY seriously. lol Harvey told people that to keep them happy. It was bc they had a stubborn high-profile client and they wanted to make it clear they were being meticulous. There was no paper trail that would lead anywhere. I doubted there would be.
20K may sound like a lot but it's pretty standard. I think Sheen is shelling out 50K to Richards for the 2 girls.
Do I know all the facts? No. Neither does anyone else. We can only go by what's available and omit most tab stories bc they're often wrong or embellished. It played out the way I thought it would.
Realist: I obviously don't follow this as closely as you guys do, so I don't know what the original offer was. If it was a lump sum of 13 million, that should have been enough for 10 lifetimes, even if she took some battering from him and had to put her child into therapy for a lifetime.
I think what's getting in her craw is the basic truths are being denied by him and it's making her into a liar. She will punish him until doomsday for it now. All she needs is a reason in her mind to justify it, and he's giving her one.
I understand what Parker is saying about the big picture. Those tapes contained enough uninterrupted barrages of insults and threats that they should be taken into account. Most of what he said was not a reaction to anything she said, and when she did speak, he reacted to her statements. If she cut stuff out it was probably sections involving something other than their personal battle. My money is still on it being something drug related that they both participated in. Anything else she would have used to hang him with. I find it hard to believe she would care about protecting anyone else involved. Too bad those juicy tidbits will never come to light.

If you didn't know the day was December 25th you might just think it was April and the game you were watching was a continuance of the NBA Finals.
The Oklahoma City Thunder go back to Miami Tuesday to face the Heat. A place they lost three straight to lose the NBA Championship.
The Heat jumped out to a 7-0 nothing lead. Then they had a 15-3 advantage before the Thunder decided to make a game of it.
Kevin Durant got a bucket and a foul in the third to take their first lead of the game. But like last year the Heat held off Oklahoma City to win at American Airlines Arena. 103-97.
LeBron James led the way for Miami with 29 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. Dwyane Wade added 21. The Thunder had no answer for Mario Chalmers. The former Kansas star scored a season-high 20 points and knocked down six three point baskets.
Kevin Durant had a game-high 33 points and Russell Westbrook added 21 for Oklahoma City.
The Thunder return home Thursday to host the Dallas Mavericks at 7:00pm.

Overall amazing place and would go back there in a heartbeat if I came back to Prague. The kitchen is great to cook your own meals too, and include a fridge, pots, pans, etc. Tons of shops nearby and easy public transit access. Market nearby has cheap goodies too "

Swindon and Poole made to wait for first leg of speedway final after rain leaves Abbey Stadium in no fit state for racing
Last Updated: 08/10/12 5:17pm
Swindon Robins: made to wait by the weather (picture courtesy of Les Aubrey)
The opening leg of the Sky Sports Elite League grand final between Swindon and Poole has been postponed due to a waterlogged track.
Heavy rain has left the Abbey Stadium in no fit state for action, with the spectator area also waterlogged, on Monday night.
The meeting has now been re-arranged for Monday, October 15 with a 7.30pm start time, with the second leg at Poole to take place two days later.
The Robins had clinched their place in the final with a 110-72 aggregate triumph over the Birmingham Brummies.
Defending champions Poole advanced to their third straight final with a comprehensive win over Lakeside Hammers, the Pirates charing to a 108-73 triumph in their two-legged semi-final.

If you've ever driven through a storm before, then you know how hard it is to see what's in front of you. Sure, your headlights help light the way, but you can't always see what's ahead with heavy rain pouring down. But all that might change thanks to a unique partnership with Intel and Carnegie Mellon University. They're developing a headlight technology that may let you see way better when it's raining, using a series of projectors instead of traditional headlight bulbs. The technology will feature sensors that sit below the projectors, watching for rain as it enters the beam of light, which then attempt to determine the course of the raindrop as it falls. Since the light is computer-controlled, it can choose not to emit light in certain areas and project light around the raindrop instead of on it. Right now, no such projectors exist. Intel does claim that this new headlight technology could possibly appear on cars within the next 10 years or so.
