Hands down, best of the year end round up posts. Thanks for the smiles!
You could live in an empty cardboard box, but if a dog lives in it with you, it will feel like a real home.
My house is worthless without my pets. Thanks for this post!
Pets are pretty much always a highlight of any house tour for me.
One thing, though, ' Wendy's Boston Terrier, Oscar' looks more like a Frenchie to me. Not that it matters because he is adorable either way.
aww they are all adorable!
I am happy I adopted another one after living dog-less for a year , the house was empty.
I rather have some dirt now and then then a heartless home.
Our home doesn't feel right without our grey and brown tabby, Mr. Pussy. Yes, that's his name!
I would totally buy a "Furry Residents of Apartment Therapy" coffee table book, especially if a portion of the proceeds were to go to local rescues.
Psssttt, Olivia (#2)
I'm all for going au naturel, but I can lend you my waxing kit if you like.
Purrfect either way!
As much as I love this piece, it makes me squirm a little. Every pet is the Best Pet, and it pains me to think of the ones you left out (not to mention their loving owners)!
I have a (are you ready?) half Chihuahua half Border Collie with wild, random tufts of hair, exophthalmic eyes, autistic lack of connection, and did I mention, three legs? If he were in your contest and you'd left him out, I'd have been heartbroken. He's very loyal, he tries hard, and, to me, he's hilariously precious-looking.
I have an idea for next year's pet article: put them ALL in. Because that's where they all belong.
Sometimes a house is not a home without someone fluffy laying around.
I'm always happy to see the pets of AT tours!
Fuffnona - LOL.
I love these posts. Seeing a little pile of fur curled up someplace really makes the house cozier.
i just lost my kitty of 14 years and my lovely home seems awfully empty with out her, she was a rescue cat, and i will rescue another, from dumplings' owner D

The game of life
Retired banker helps teens get a grip on clubs and goals
- |
- Written by Ashley Bray
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
Playing golf is a part of many retirees' plans, but retired bank president Harold Curry takes those plans a step further. He serves as chairman of the board of directors for the Midnight Golf Program, which is a 30-week empowerment and mentoring program that teaches life skills along with golf to Detroit-area teens.
Midnight Golf was established in 2001 by Reneé Fluker, a retired state employee, and since its founding, 869 young people have participated in the program. Midnight Golf (the name comes from a nighttime basketball program) meets twice a week at Marygrove College in inner-city Detroit. PGA of America professionals teach the participants golf at a practice facility and four-hole short course designed for the program by noted course architect Tom Doak. In addition to golf instruction, the high-school seniors learn life skills from other instructors. Financial literacy is among the skills, and includes information on college finance and banking, along with a 12-week stock market game that demonstrates investment education.
Curry was drawn to the program by his desire to help the young participants successfully "read the green" on the path to their goals. "I was introduced to the Midnight Golf program by a good friend," Curry wrote in an email response to questions. "After visiting the program and coming back to be with the group of young adults that were eager to learn [and] had a desire to interact and draw information from those individuals who were willing to share knowledge, it became obvious that I had to be involved and to help these young people in any way that I could to achieve their goals and dreams."
Curry has been with the program since 2005 and continued his involvement even after retiring as district president for southeast Michigan from Michigan Commerce Bank in 2011.
Curry handles fundraising and ensures that the program meets its mission of improving underserved young adults' personal development, education preparedness, and appreciation of the game of golf.
Midnight Golf appears to have landed "close to the flagstick" in meeting its mission as 96% of the 2011 participants went on to college.
A golfer himself, Curry enjoys the social aspects of the game and the natural beauty of the courses he has played around the country. But he also believes that the game shares many similar tenets with life. "The game of golf is the ideal sport to teach life skills," he explained. "It teaches self-reliance, etiquette, practicing your skills, integrity, and many more."
And it's these skills that Midnight Golf seeks to impart to its participants. "We talk about careers in the financial industry, becoming an entrepreneur, and corporate cultures," noted Curry, "along with the education, personal commitment, and other items required to achieve their goals."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 27, 2012)—Wilkinson will make his first start since his shocking victory in the Grade II American Handicap May 26 at Betfair Hollywood Park in the $100,000 Daytona Stakes Saturday at Santa Anita.

Men's Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13 Wide Running Shoes
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13 Men's Wide Running Shoes are the best, most sophisticated version of this model ever created. The running experts at Brooks plussed things up with Omega Flex Grooves and continuing Omni Grooves in the forefoot to provide ultimate outsole flexibility and let your foot move naturally as your run.
To give you a surefire fit, these sneakers feature stretch eyelets to lock your feet in place (comfortably, of course) and serve up total stability and cushioning even for the runner with the widest foot. Plus, the blown rubber forefoot outsole gives you a unique feel when you run and helps you find your stride with confidence.
Runner's World named the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13 Men's Running Shoes Editor's Choice in the Fall Shoe Guide in their December 2012 issue. They called it a "classic stability shoe", and quoted one wear tester as saying, "it's soft enough that you can feel the road surface below, but there's enough padding that you don't feel as though you're running on concrete blocks."

Winn - WinnPro X 1.60 Putter Grip
- FREE with $50 Purchase
- $0.00**
*48 Contiguous U.S. States.
**Excludes WA Residents.
WinnPro X 1.60 Putter Grip
Welcome to the New feel of Putting
The new WinnPro X 1.60 putter grip uses a less tapered profile than traditional designs to eliminate wrist movement during the stroke. These extremely comfortable, slip-resistant grips reduce stress on the hands and body, enabling players to lighten their grip pressure and extend their playing time. Tension-free swings produce better results and ultimately lead to more hours of enjoyment on the course.
Why Winn grips you ask? Well, they are likely the best in golf and use polymer grip technology and compounds that are tackier, more shock absorbing, and more comfortable than traditional rubber. These polymers are uniquely formulated to achieve a wide spectrum of firmnesses, textures and weights to suit any type of golfer.
- Offers oversize grip benefits without losing clubhead feel
- Stabilizes putting stroke for more consistency and made putts
- Extended non-tapered profile
- 1.60" diameter
- 98 grams weight
- 0.590" core size
- Comfort firmness level
- Medium water resistance, shock absorption and texture
- Paddle profile

Lifesavers Quilt Places Third
Remember my Lifesavers quilt from the EZ Dresden Challenge blog hop? Well, guess what? It took third place in the challenge!
I am just floored that out of all the fabulous, creative, beautiful quilts entered, my little quilt placed. Even third place had the most amazing prize package—100 spools of Gutterman cotton thread in every color of the rainbow, a Sidewinder bobbin winder from Simplicity, two fat-quarter bundles from Robert Kaufman, batting from Fairfield, and rulers and a book from Darlene Zimmerman. And my quilt will be displayed in the Simplicity booth at Fall Quilt Market. Wow!!
It's been quite a month for me. My Supernova quilt went off to Houston to hang at International Quilt Festival, an honor I still can't quite believe. A quilt of mine is appearing in a new book coming out from Martingale. And now this. Seriously?? I can't believe all of this is happening to me.
Fresh Modern Quilts Flickr group—there are so many talented people out there, making some incredible quilts. The fact that my quilts have been singled out for some of these honors feels like it's due as much to happenstance as anything else. I was just in the right place at the right time. Or maybe my blog was. : )
But at the same time, I know I've worked hard on my quilts and on this blog, occasionally wondering why exactly I put all this time and effort in. I've stayed up until the wee hours of the morning sewing and blogging, because that midnight-to-2-a.m. slot was the only time I had that day to get anything done. Then things like this come along to make me feel like that time and effort was well-spent. So thank you, Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild, the EZ Dresden Challenge judges, and the sponsors. You made my week!
You can see all the other EZ Dresden Challenge winners right here. The grand prize-winning quilt by Jenny Cameron is stunning! Congratulations to all.

For the money this is a pretty good product. I use it to light my chicken coop at night. It provides sufficient light to allow me to observe the chickens at night. I am not sure of the potential life since it seems somewhat flimsy. It does provide light all night without the batteries going dead even after a cloudy day.

In the final home game of the season, CSE looked to get in front early. Things did not go according to plan however, when Courtney Bernecker put a shot passed Grace bailey, giving Wilson an early 1-0 lead. The defense stepped up after the early goal, led once again by Nicole Rios. Wilson only managed 1 more shot on goal in the half.
The Screaming Eagles had some scoring opportunities in the first half. Jessica Nunez led the offense with 2 shots, 1 being saved by the Phoenix's keeper. Valerie Lasko also added a shot on goal.
In the second half, the defense continued to play in top form. Having the ball down in their end most of the half, the defense never gave in, constantly clearing the ball out of the zone. Wilson managed to score another goal when Nana Ama-Ohene Manu squeaked the ball passed Grace Bailey.
The highlight on offense came when Brianna Fedorich smashed a free kick passed Wilson's keeper, resulting in her second goal of the season with 7:46 left in the match. Unfortunately, the Eagles were unable to muster anything else, losing the game 2-1.
The Eagles play their last game of the season on Saturday at 1 P.M at Penn State Abington.

DOVER, N.J. -- The Screaming Eagles volleyball team volunteered at the Trinity Lutheran Church Faith Kitchen in Dover, N.J. on March 23, serving nearly 150 meals to the local homeless population.
As the last meal of the weekend, the Saint Elizabeth women set up decorations and table settings. The team served the attendees a variety of foods including sloppy joes with green beans, potato chips, fruit cocktail, salad, and cookie and brownie for dessert.
After the meal was over, the Screaming Eagles led the clean up with help from those who had just dined. Not surprisingly, all 15 dozen brownies and cookies were completely gone.

The fourth annual Journal Women of Achievement breakfast is now history. Like the first three breakfasts, we believe it was a success. It was a success from the point of highlighting a group of women who have achieved success in their businesses worthy of magnifying so that the community and the world can look at them and say, "Well done". They have achieved, and young people looking for or needing role models can say, "I want to be like her when I grow up."
This year we honored a group of Business and Professional Women who are and have been entrepreneurs making it on their own in their own business for over ten years.
Wednesday, 10 April 2013 11:34
This week's Women of Achievement Breakfast, in addition to honoring and celebrating women entrepreneurs, is a reminder to support small businesses. Everybody talks about small businesses being the backbone of America, but where they spend their money is what tells the story.
The Journal will be celebrating 24 years of publishing this year. Having put out the first Journal in November, 1989, we understand the importance of community support. In turn, we work hard at giving back by providing affordable advertising and profiling community businesses. At the same time, we work hard at publishing the good news of the community.

Kermit the Frog is a Muppet character often seen on the popular show Sesame Street. He is famous for singing a song with the popular line in it that says, "It's not easy being green". As a Black person in America watching the states trying to turn back the clock to a time when inequality for African Americans was the law of the land, it seems that Kermit's theme song could be modified to say, "It's not easy being Black, either". Or, as I prefer to say, "It's a full time job being Black".
For Kermit, there is a certain amount of discrimination for a green frog. He gets passed by while sitting on green leaves. He would be more noticeable if he were more colorful like red or gold. For Black folks, the source of discrimination is multi-faceted and it doesn't really go away. When you're young it's the schools. When you get older its jobs, where you can live, and even your right to vote that reeks of discrimination.
Tuesday, 19 March 2013 18:48
For our 23 years in existence, The Journal has promoted education and entrepreneurship as the key to career opportunities on the path to progress. This year's Women of Achievement Breakfast on Saturday, April 13th will highlight women who are entrepreneurs, to make the point. The lessons are good for male and female.
Tragically, when people think of young Black males, they don't think of accomplished young men with skills. Too often, they think thug and prison. If they think of careers at all they think ball player or rapper. The reality is that since only one out of a million get to a real lifetime career as either a musician or ball player, far too many end up in dead end jobs or no job at all with which to support their families. Consequently, many end up in the underground economy and prison.

This week in America, Black men demonstrated their ability to survive and achieve again, in spite of the odds. At the national level, the world watched as America's Black President demonstrated that he was large and in charge of the most prosperous country in the world – The United States. At the local level, I am just as impressed with Black male success and the comings and goings of two local role models. John Kennedy and Rodney D. Wallace. These two local men fit in the category of new beginnings. This is true even though one reached a milestone of retiring. His final words at his retirement party were, "I'm going to wait and see what God has in store." Here's my take on these two local men. They serve as reminders that surviving and thriving in America for Black men is an achievable course in miracles.
John Kennedy is the winner of the most watched city council race in Pasadena, California, last week. The District, known as District Three, may mark the first time three Black men ran for a seat to represent a constituency in Pasadena's history. The District is far from being just a Black District. It stretches throughout one of the largest and most prosperous and influential business areas of this city, known as the City of Roses.

Large Items Collections
It is important that you read ALL of the information on this page before you book a collection.
Service Changes Effective 1st April 2014 - Bulky Waste Collections are now chargeable
From the 1st April 2014 all collections of bulky waste became chargeable. The charge covers the collection of up to six bulky items.
Telephone requests to the Contact Centre will be charged at the standard rate of £25.00 per collection. However, there is a £2 discount off the full price for customers who book the service though our website at a reduced cost of £23.00.
As an alternative, you can take items to your local Household Recycling Centre for disposal. There is no charge for this service. Alternatively, you can find out more information about organisations that may be able to assist you with recycling your unwanted items. Please follow the external web links below.
Important Collection Information
You must specify all items to be collected when you make your collection request. We will NOT collect any items left out for collection that are not listed on the collection crew's worksheet.
Please leave all items at the front of your property as close to the road as possible, in an easily accessible and visible place. Do not leave items on the footpath or on a public highway. The collection crew must be able to access the property and remove items safely. Please note that if items have not been presented correctly, or are too dangerous to handle (no sharp edges, points etc), or are unsafe to transport, then they will not be collected.
We will NOT collect the following items:
Collection of Black Sacks
Please note: If you are booking a large item collection for black bags, the maximum amount that can be requested per individual appointment is 18. If the collection contains a mix of black bags and separate items it's important to remember; 3 black bags = 1 item. A maximum of 6 items per appointment is permitted.
The same rules apply regarding the contents of black bags. Unsuitable items for example, anything from the list above. Sacks filled with items that have not been presented correctly, are too heavy, or are too dangerous to handle (no sharp edges, points etc) will not be removed.
Other Information
We collect most things in a compaction vehicle, so items like bricks and gas bottles would create problems. Large items such as trees and sheds can't be handled easily by the two-man crew. But you can take these materials to your Household Recycling Centre for disposal.
|How many Items per collection
|Maximum of 6
|£25.00 per collection (£23.00 if booked via website) Payable by credit or debit card. Use the Book Large Items Collection button above to request a collection.
|No limit on number of items for collection
|Minimum charge of £143.45 but this will vary dependant on the number of items for collection and their potential weight. Contact the Commercial Waste Team.
If you wish to pay for this service by card, please have your details to hand. We accept the following:
If you do not want to pay for a collection, you can still take items you want to dispose of to a Household Recycling Centre or arrange fo a registered waste carrier to take them away.
For all collections, we would encourage you to consider whether there is a better use for your unwanted goods other than sending them to landfill. They could be used by someone else, or could be recycled or repaired. For more details see the external links below.
These changes are being introduced to ensure fair and equal access for all our residents. Many other Local Authorities make a charge for every collection.
We will advise you of the date we will be collecting your items once your request is accepted.
- Collections will normally happen between 6am and 3pm.
- Please leave all items out by 6am on the day of collection. The earliest you can put your items out is the night before – please don't leave things out any earlier than this.
Special Assistance for the elderly and infirm or disabled
An assisted service is available for people who are elderly and infirm or those with a physical disability. We cannot enter your property but can arrange to pick items up from immediately outside the property e.g. front door or side door if accessible. If you require an assisted collection please click 'Yes' under the assistance section in the form above
- Recycle large items
As well as the Large Item Collection service, there are other ways of disposing of your unwanted bulky household items such as taking them to your local Household Recycling Centre.
- Refund Policy
A refund will only be completed if the collection has been cancelled at least 2 clear working days (working days being Monday-Friday) before the collection date. If the request is made outside this period the appointment will still remain chargeable.
For example - if your collection date is on a Friday, you must cancel by the Tuesday before.
Please ensure that you understand and agree to this before making payment.
If you require a refund please use our service specific enquiry form. All requests are dealt with on an individual basis, and will be investigated by one of our officers. We may have to contact you to ask for further information about your request before a decision is made.
- Recycle your old TV after the digital switchover
The switchover to digital TV for households in Birmingham will take place in September 2011.
From this date people using televisions that still use the old analogue signal will have to buy a new digital TV, or upgrade their existing set to receive digital signals, through a digital set-top box, satellite, or cable.
For residents considering buying a new television there are a number of options available to for its safe disposal:
- Ask the retailer you are buying new equipment from to take away the old appliance. Most suppliers of electrical goods have take back schemes
- Donate it to another person or organisation such as Freegle or Freecycle (www.ilovefreegle.org and www.uk.freecycle.org)
- Take it to one of the five Household Recycling Centres (HRCs)
"Not far off 100 per cent of a typical television can be recycled – which is very positive. However, if people can reuse their old TVs instead of throwing them away, that would be even better."
All TVs and monitors taken to the HRCs are sent to Darlaston for recycling. The hazardous materials are safely removed and recycled and then the monitors are stripped for components. The monitors are then shattered to allow raw materials like plastic, glass and metal to be recycled.
For more information on the digital switchover, visit www.digitaluk.co.uk or call 08456 505050.
- Why can't you take items like building materials, gas bottles, sheds and things?
We collect most things in a compaction vehicle, so items like bricks and gas bottles would create problems. Large items such as trees and sheds can't be handled easily by the two-man crew. But you can take these materials to your Household Recycling Centre for disposal.
- Why do you collect fridges and freezers separately?
Fridges and freezers contain CFC gases which destroy the ozone layer when released in to the atmosphere. We incinerate most bulky waste but we take fridges and freezers to a separate facility, where the CFCs are removed before the metal is recycled.
- Why do you only collect six items?
Having a limit lets us maximise the number of collections we can make in one day. Before we had a limit, some residents would do house clearances and leave everything out for the council to collect, which often tied up a crew on one property all day. A limit of six items makes the service fairer, more efficient and more cost-effective.
- Why do the items have to be put out at the front?
Front collections are usually easier and therefore more efficient. It avoids problems such as locked gates or garages and no-one home to let in the collection crew, which would be a wasted journey and an inefficient way of working. By leaving items at the front, you don't need to be at home when the collection crew calls.

Use fresh, canned, or dried into prunes. European varieties are easy to grow, self pollinated, good for higher elevations and cold micro–climates, and well suited to processing. Japanese varieties tend to have larger crops, are not generally self-pollinated, can be tricky to grow in areas with late frosts, but are superb for fresh eating. Lower elevation areas and valley growers may plant any variety.
All are semi–dwarf on Citation rootstock. Unpruned, semi–dwarf trees reach 3/4 of standard size (about 8'–14'). Trees are 2 years old, and should begin to fruit in their 4th year.
All our dormant trees (except Pecan trees) and berries come with a limited replacement guarantee.
For best success, be sure to choose a tree that will grow in your USDA zone, has an appropriate number of chill hours for your climate. If a pollinator is needed, make sure they're planted within 50 feet of each other and will bloom at the same time. Finally, what are your desired harvest intervals (all at once for canning or spread out for fresh eating)? Enjoy!
Your order will ship out of our warehouse as soon as we receive your trees. (Dec-Jan). We cannot hold bare root items in CA, as they will begin to bud or flower. Once they break dormancy, they can no longer be shipped. We do not have the refrigerator capacity to hold all orders, which is why all trees will ship out as soon as we receive them. If you won't be ready to plant when the trees arrive, watch our "Heeling in Bare Root Trees" video and learn how to keep your trees healthy until you are ready to plant.

Understood. I've been looking at monocular's in an effort to cut down weight but there nothing here I can lay my hands on to check quality. There is plenty on eBay but its difficult to research.

Thanks Sonny, its not what I ordered but I'm starting to come around on it slowly. Its a little bit darker than that photo and works good. I just wanted a longer quiver and this thing is only 17" on the body, about the same as a standard 19" quiver without the tubes. That's the only thing I don't like.
