Lost John Lennon Lyrics Pop Up In New letters Collection
Wednesday, October 24, 2012
The newly released book, The John Lennon Letters, features what appears to be the unfinished lyrics from a John Lennon song written around 1965 or 1966. In addition to the numerous letters, postcards, notes to his staff, and shopping lists, is the short set of lyrics written on the back of a postcard sent to George Harrison by a fan in Japan.
The lyrics to the unfinished John Lennon song are:
When a girl begins to be a problem
Pretty soon the girl must go
When they're gone you find at last
you love them
Pretty soon you want to know
Little girl I've come to say
And this time I just have to say
I love you
If she turns you down and rejected
Try again the best you can
Call to see her when you're least
Tell her now shell understand
The John Lennon Letters was edited by noted Beatles author Hunter Davies and features letters sent by the late Beatle to lovers, friends, family, and fans from every point in his life. The final manuscript was selected from a collection over nearly 300 letters and postcards.
Lennon's first wife, Cynthia Lennon, told us that listening to the Beatles' music will always be a bittersweet experience for her: "The music itself is sort of self-evident, and it's beautiful to listen to now as it was then. And it has very fond memories and it has very sad memories for me. It's the history of my life with John."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Jun 24, 2010)-Making his first start beyond 6 ½ furlongs, Just Magic was an easy winner of a $44,000 optional claimer Thursday (video) at Hollywood Park.
Ridden by Joel Rosario, the 3-year-old Five Star Day colt out of the Mr. Redoy mare Magic Sister assumed command immediately, set a restrained pace and was never menaced in the final quarter of a mile.
Owned by breeder Budget Stable and trained by Janet Armstrong, Just Magic, the 2-1 second choice in the field of five, ran the 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.32 while winning by 3 ¾ lengths.
The victory was the second in four starts for Just Magic and hiked his earnings to $65,360. He has not finished worse than third.
Giving Rosario a sweep of the early double after he won the first race with 9-1 shot Ascot's Highflyer, Just Magic paid $6, $2.40 and $2.20.
Runner-up Lions Story, the 1-2 favorite, wound up 1 ¾ lengths in front of Gilligan, returning $2.10 and $2.10. Gilligan, who finished third for the sixth time in 24 lifetime starts, paid $3.60 to show.
Boulder Creek and Milty Way completed the order of finish.
The loss was the sixth in a row for Lions Story since his maiden win last Aug. 1 at Del Mar. The son of Wildcat Heir has been the public choice in his four most recent defeats.
Racing resumes Friday. Post time is 7:05 p.m.
At the conclusion of the eighth and final race – approximately 10:30 p.m. – a concert starring Flock Of Seagulls and When In Rome will begin at the North Park Lawn.

Understanding Cervical Changes: A Health Guide for Women
Most women who have abnormal cervical screening tests do not have cervical cancer. Most have early cell changes that can be monitored (since they often go away on their own) or treated early (to prevent problems later). So, get the follow-up visits, tests, or treatment that your health care provider advises.
Good News About Preventing Cervical Cancer
We know what causes cervical cancer.
Nearly all cervical cancer is caused by a virus called HPV (human papillomavirus).
Cervical cell changes happen slowly.
It can take many years for cells infected with HPV to develop into cervical cancer.
We have great tools to prevent cervical cancer.
Regular screening and early HPV vaccination can prevent cervical cancer.
Better screening tests mean less frequent screening.
Because of improvements in cervical cancer screening, guidelines now recommend less frequent screening than before.
Abnormal test results don't mean that you have cancer.
An abnormal Pap test result or cotesting result does not mean that you have cervical cancer. It means that cervical cell changes were found or that cells are infected with HPV. Depending on the results, you may need follow-up testing or treatment. Treatment for cervical changes works well.
Scientific advances have helped us learn much more about how cervical cancer develops, as well as how and when to screen women. However, these advances have also added a layer of complexity for health care providers and women. This guide helps women talk with their health care provider and make informed decisions to prevent cervical cancer.

Athletic-Related Announcement Tied to Train
Union Pacific Mini-Train will be at the Haymarket Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
By Randy York
If you're looking for something different before Saturday's 2 p.m. experimental Offense vs. Defense Red-White Spring Game at Memorial Stadium, check out the Union Pacific Mini-Train above. Envision that miniature locomotive with several cars behind it that can carry adults and children like the train at Lincoln's Children's Zoo. The only difference is this train has rubber wheels instead of adhesion traction, so it can carry passengers round-and-round in the parking lot at Haymarket Park on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The train will offer free rides for fans of all ages and will be located just west of the main gate to Hawks Field.
Built in Union Pacific's Omaha locomotive and rail car repair shops 58 years ago, the mini-train is sometimes called the Pride of the Omaha Shops. For more than half a century, the miniature train has been a big hit in parades, family days and other civic events. This weekend, the mini-train will make a stop in Lincoln that is every bit as important as the 50-some appearances it makes every year. The mini-train is so popular, it is booked up to three years in advance for special civic celebrations.
Union Pacific Announcement Scheduled Saturday
There is a strategic if not semi-compelling reason why the mini-train will be part of Nebraska's pre-game Spring Game atmosphere. Union Pacific, in fact, will be tied to a Nebraska Athletics-related announcement on Saturday. Nebraska Public Address Announcer Patrick Combs will share the news during the first half of Saturday's Spring Game experiment that will be telecast nationally on tape-delay at 7 p.m. Saturday on the Big Ten Network. A statewide telecast is also set for NET at 2 p.m. Sunday.
I apologize for using a train to tease a football story, but as the son of a longtime railroader, trains always have intrigued me. They're so fascinating that Walt Disney once thought about creating a character while riding coast-to-coast on a train with his brother. Both were struggling and thinking disaster was right around the corner. Then Walt pulled out his drawing pad and created Mickey Mouse on the train. Pure genius. Down went up and suddenly, it was fun times, great conversations, and memorable folklore.
In the past, Nebraska Spring Games were about seeing which players would plow new ground in the fall. For this agricultural state, the Spring Game was a sneak peak to see what kind of crops we might harvest when September turns into October. A mini-train is one of Union Pacific Railroad's most popular goodwill ambassadors, and I'm sure everyone will be listening intently Saturday when Combs gives people inside Memorial Stadium the insight scoop. Stay tuned.

And if so, was it cut and left cryptic to sell future DLC?
Mass Effect 3 has been derided since its release as having an unsatisfying and spectacularly bad finale that has disappointed fans of the otherwise phenomenal series. But now a new conspiracy theory is circling the internet, and if proven true, could mean that this terrible ending is actually pretty incredible, and we were all just too blind to see it.
The "proof" comes in the form of a collection of internet postings and a new definitive "Loose Change" style video which aims to show how we've all missed the point. I'll post it for you below, and though it clocks in at twenty minutes, if you're a fan, it's definitely a must watch.
I won't summarize it in full (obvious spoilers ahoy), but the general idea is that in reality, the entire ending sequence is occurring in your character's mind. The bad guys of the series, the Reapers, are attempting to "indoctrinate" Commander Shepard, a process they use to seduce powerful figures into helping their cause, and the final choice you make is either you accepting or resisting their influence.
The details are small at first, but they start to snowball, and by the end, the theory doesn't sound so crazy anymore. It explains many aspects of the game that are otherwise out of place. Shepard's visions of a lost child, the fact that he winds up with an injury he supposedly inflicted on another, the two second sequence that shows him stirring in earthbound rubble at the end. And a fact not mentioned in the video, that your last save in the game allows you replay the alleged dream sequence if you made the "wrong" choice from the exact moment reality supposedly ends.
And I did in fact make the "wrong" choice according to this, and I was disturbed when I realized that two of the three options, controlling the Reapers and combining organic and synthetic life, were also the aims of the indoctrinated Illusive Man and Saren respectively. Uh oh.
What is not made clear in this theory, or the video, is what the scenes mean AFTER the decision is made. As discussed before, they all more or less show variants of the same scene, giving little or unclear resolution to Shepard's actions. This is the sequence that upset people the most, and the video explains it away as "hopeful visions," but that's not exactly satisfying either.
It is also entirely plausible that the ending is not metaphorical at all. That everything happened the way we thought it did and Bioware really did drop the ball. But further evidence against this straightforward view is that Bioware has not screwed up the story up until this point, and the "indoctrination theory" being true would prove they're smarter than all of us.
But the fact is, true or not, the indoctrination theory is a win for Bioware. Even if it's not what they intended, enough pieces are there where if they came out and said it was true, people would believe them. They now have a way out, as they can now appropriate the theory as something they planned all along, even if that wasn't the case.
If it really was what they had in mind, it would be a master storytelling move viewed from one angle, as it's a huge mind-bending twist for players that was too high concept for almost everyone who played. But when you stop and consider it, the decision to handle such a twist the way they did would remain creatively atrocious. I've recently speculated that the "sameness" of the endings is really a plot to sell more DLC, as if there were three different, complete endings, that wouldn't be in the cards. The fact is, even if the last sequence is the indoctrination process, it's still a gut punch to fans to cut out a true ending, and sell it later as DLC, which I now believe has been their intention all along.
In this case, it would be as if Fight Club ended twenty minutes early. Internet conspiracy theorists would try to unravel the mystery of the true identity of Tyler Durden, and lo and behold a short, twenty minute film is released months later (available for the low prices of $5) that contains the lost ending and proves their theory right all along. And this, in short, is why greed in video games is ruining the creative process.
If true, the indoctrination reveal could have easily taken place in-game, and would have made for a mind-blowing moment; perhaps one of the most excellent twists in video game history. But what happened instead is that fans took the ending at face value (I doubt anyone would have guessed it was imaginary the first time they played through it), and were outraged as it was deemed lacking and not up to the series' standards. Even if the brilliant plot twist is present, Bioware has committed an even greater sin than we previously thought.
If $15 ending DLC hits shelves in a month or two that reveals this theory as correct, it will be one of the lowest points in video game history. Had a complete ending been fashioned alongside this plot twist, Mass Effect could have been the greatest story ever told through the medium and fans would have bowed at Bioware's feet, praising them for the best finale they've ever seen. But instead, if the "true" ending really was cut to be sold later as DLC, it's proof that maybe video games aren't art after all. They're just a product to be bought and sold in pieces regardless of the effect such decisions may have on the experience or the story. And if said DLC is free, the way I've previously suggested it should be as an apology to fans? Then it really just should have been in the game in the first place.
At this point, I don't know what I wish to be true. That Bioware just screwed up the finale the old fashioned way, or that they had a brilliant ending, cut it and made what they did show cryptic in order to sell DLC down the line. In my eyes, either situation is equally tragic.
Update: As I've posted this, Bioware co-founder Ray Muzyka has come out with an official statement about the ending on the Bioware blog. Here's an excerpt:
"Exec Producer Casey Hudson and the team are hard at work on a number of game content initiatives that will help answer the questions, providing more clarity for those seeking further closure to their journey. You'll hear more on this in April. We're working hard to maintain the right balance between the artistic integrity of the original story while addressing the fan feedback we've received. This is in addition to our existing plan to continue providing new Mass Effect content and new full games, so rest assured that your journey in the Mass Effect universe can, and will, continue."
That means they're working on content that will answer questions and "provide clarity" about the ending, which does not rule out the indoctrination theory we've been discussing. Some are saying that this kills that theory, as it seems from this statement they didn't have additional ending DLC planned, but if they had, would they really come out and say "The end was meant to be a mystery that will be revealed by DLC"? No way. In either case, intended or not, they can still use the theory as a jumping off point for additional content.
Interestingly, he says this is in addition to their old plans about new Mass Effect content and "full games." That last bit is the first implication I've heard that there could be another full length Mass Effect title on the horizon. In any case, I think it's a mostly positive post (and a necessary one) from Muzyka, and I think it should give fans hope that they'll find a more satisfying conclusion to their story at some point. Whether they'll have to pay for it or not is another issue.

My dinner: leftover beans & greens on a baked potato, topped with grated romano cheese. Yumtown express!
Thanks so much for this post! My husband went from Vegetarian to vegan recently (and I eat meat) and it's been a real struggle to keep the peace in the kitchen. Hopefully this will help!
I've been living off of Philly Cheese Seitans lately.
I appreciate that you're trying to create vegetarian and vegan content, but I've been coming to The Kitchn for many years now, and I feel like you're re-posting the same dishes over and over again. They're delicious, but I'm gonna lose it if I see that borlotti bean dish one more time.
these all sound amazing. I'm not vegetarian (anymore) or vegan strictly, but I do lean towards those tendencies and have limited my intake of red meat for the most part. I've got a picky son but a daughter that loves full flavor so vegetarian seems to fit the bill! I'm salivating just thinking about them all!!
Paneer in cashew sauce curry with rice. so good!!
this dish turned out wonderfully- a creamy, melt-in-your mouth veggie, indian stew:
it's by the queen of vegan, isa chandra moskowitz. Another favorite recipe of hers is Seitan Piccatta, from Veganomicon. It tastes restaurant-worthy delicious.
I made this for a potluck, and it was melt-in-your mouth veggie wonderful and really *does* feed 16 people:
plus, her recipe for seitan piccatta (in the cookbook veganomicon which is wonderful) is restaurant-worthy amazing.
laurabellk : check out theppk.com! it has lots of recipes and forums and everything for vegans :)
I thought these were supposed to be veg*n--what's with the turkey broth in the Hot and Sour Mushroom, Cabbage, and Rice Soup? Enjoy looking at most of these recipes, but that's really put me off :(

Pevonia Botanica Customer ReviewsVery versatile (hair too!) and smells wonderful! - 10/10/2014 9:32:31 AM This is a great spray for after applying your makeup... just helps set it and really helps hydrate your skin. I have found it works great on my hair too! I have curly, somewhat frizzy hair, and when I curl with a larger curling iron to straighten it a little I use this spray before the iron and it helps to maintain the curl and helps it not to frizz. If I leave my hair natural and I use this spray it also helps the dry frizzy look. Love the way it smell, very faint rose... great for a dewy moisturize chest/neck also.the best cream for sensitive skin - 9/13/2014 9:02:37 AM I've been using this cream for 15 years. I've sampled 100 moisturizers and this is the only one that works for my sensitive skin and doesn't clog my pores. I love it.Review of Eye Fluid - 5/20/2014 3:27:56 AM I bought this eye fluid to try and ended up returning it. I hate to say it but it was too expensive and I didn't notice any great benefit from it. I know it says it is a "fluid" but I guess I never tried this watery of an eye cream before. It can migrate into your eyes easier in this formulation. The nice thing about it was there was not much of a scent that I noticed and it did seem to absorb quickly. Maybe if it had cost about $40 I would have kept it.- 3/7/2014 2:04:30 PM I think this product combined with the Lumafirm Repair Cream is absolutely wonderful! I am unsure as to how many applications you get from one disc but I have gotten 2 already and I have some more left. I almost went through all the cream before remembering (finding) this disc. The cream alone is nice but combined with this disc, your face will immediately look and feel like you have had a fancy spa treatment. Biggest game changer I've ever felt or seen. I love all Pevonia products and have been using them for about 17 years now.Awesome Product - 1/11/2014 5:19:56 AM This product is one that I will never be without. I am on my second jar, and it will not be my last! After doing some research on its use, I have started using it differently than I did in the beginning. I use it 2-3 times each week. You need to make sure that your skin is thoroughly cleansed, a little moist, and warm. I rub a small amount into my skin, avoiding the eye area, and leave it on for 10 minutes. After that time I dampen my fingers and massage the cream into my skin one more time, and leave it for another 5-10 minutes. This reactivates the cream and gets it deep down into my pores. After rinsing it off I apply my moisturizer while my skin is still damp. I have seen a tremendous difference in my skin. This cream gets deep down into my pores and removes any blackheads and unclogs my pores. A little goes a long way. I would not recommend trying my "procedure" as far as the "time limit" you leave it on your face until you are sure that your skin is ready for the extra time the cream remains on your face. Try it and you will love it!!Great - 12/14/2013 8:03:36 AM I love this product. I've been using for almost 10 years now. Very gentle and keeps the rosacea very controlled.Works for my sensitive skin - 12/11/2013 7:02:11 AM This is the only cream I have found that gives my skin the moisture it needs without causing irritation or breakouts. I have rosacea and acne and my face hates almost everything. I do have to apply very lightly to my t-zone or it will cause some breakouts. But there is zero irritation to my very sensitive cheeks and the moisture is the perfect amount. Very happy with this product. The only thing I would change is the jar packaging.Very nice - 8/21/2013 5:33:20 AM This is a light exfoliator that cleans the skin well without stripping or drying. I have combination to sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. I'm happy with it and would buy again. Only con is the price, but it seems to last awhile.Awesome Eye Gel - 7/31/2013 4:57:53 AM This eye gel is the only thing that I find works on my eyes. It absorbs quickly and I can literally see my Dark circles disappear. This gel works quickly and easely to erase under eye circles and wears great under make up. I put a pea size amount on my finger tip and rub together my left and right index finger and pat under my eyes. This stuff is amazing, but comes at a price. It is on the expensive side but definetly works.Ingredients turned a 5* to 2* - 6/27/2013 3:34:32 PM This product claims to be Natural yet there are controversial ingredients that scare away even the slightest chance of being natural. Phenoxyethanol being one... I loved the feel, the fragrance and the overall results while blindly using this product. So I give it that much...it's just the long-term effects may not be attractive at all. So, I have the entire full size kit and haven't used 1/4 of it. I used the entire travel size, ordered the full and then found the ingredients to be alarming. Sad, because I normally LOVED Pevonia products. Who knew there were scary ingredients?

Just What the Doctor Ordered
How a global pharmaceutical company transformed its digital marketing operations to drive sales and reduce costsDOWNLOAD
Last Updated:
A leading pharmaceutical company was facing shifting customer preferences that favored digital marketing leveraging mobile and social technologies – over traditional sales and marketing mediums. To help achieve their growth and cost reduction goals, company leaders turned to Deloitte to help them transform their decentralized marketing operations into a centralized model that could compete effectively in today's digital age.
For companies in the life science industry, the battle for mind-share continues to intensify as Healthcare Providers (HCPs) and consumer preferences shift and access to physicians for face-to-face sales representative calls shrinks. These factors, along with the need to reduce costs, are driving the industry toward digital marketing. Leading organizations are finding that global centers of excellence (CoEs) can significantly help reduce marketing costs, improve speed to market and drive innovation. CoEs, on the most basic level, facilitate sharing of leading practices and materials as well as standard tools, knowledge and training. CoEs are often tasked with measuring the impact of initiatives and managing how resources are allocated across functions.
The leaders of this pharmaceutical company recognized the potential of digital marketing for meeting their business goals, but results from their own efforts had been lackluster. They needed help transforming the way they develop, provide and support digital marketing activities to improve effectiveness and reduce service delivery costs. However, the company's current operating model and infrastructure fell short. The company's brand teams and local marketing teams worked in silos, using different processes, technologies and vendors to develop and execute digital marketing campaigns. The result was disjointed digital initiatives that were inefficient and difficult to manage – and delivered inconsistent customer experiences.
The company's marketing leadership recognized that they needed to transform their digital capabilities and brand operations across the enterprise to improve marketing efficiencies and effectiveness fast.
Deloitte brought together a team of various specialties and industry experience spanning marketing and campaign management, strategy and operations, human capital and technology. Together, they developed a holistic approach to meet leadership's goals by designing and implementing a new digital organization structure and operating model incorporating a global digital CoE.
Organization design. The global digital CoE was designed to be scalable, flexible and responsive to the evolving needs of the organization and its customers. The organization structure was built to support the company's customer-first focus while emphasizing operational excellence.
Process standards. The team assessed the current digital operating model, along with its ability to engage and support the local markets. The team used these insights to create a new model that supported centralized content development, local market pull through and market-to-market sharing of demonstrated campaigns. The team also helped document and improve the end-to-end digital execution process – plan, design, build, launch and analyze – to streamline hand-offs, clarify roles and responsibilities and reduce time to market.
Governance. A global digital governance model was developed to align stakeholder groups across the enterprise, set and guide strategic direction, implement continuous improvement and more effectively engage the local markets.
Vendors and technology. After examining the company's existing suppliers and technologies, we identified opportunities to provide a more consistent customer experience and reduce costs by rationalizing technologies and canceling redundant vendors. We also recommended retaining core capabilities in-house, while outsourcing non-core capabilities.
Change management. A communications and training plan was developed to engage local markets by supporting and encouraging their adoption of the new operating model standards.
Performance management. We helped leadership in their efforts to establish and align the organization on specific operational performance metrics. A performance dashboard was launched to help measure the overall digital effectiveness and align leaders across the organization to expected business outcomes.
Deployment plan. Plans were deployed using a phased, pilot approach to gradually introduce local markets to the new operating model. This approach allowed the company to refine and scale the new model as new market needs or issues were uncovered.
Within eight-weeks, the company launched a simplified, scalable operating model to meet its increasing demand for effective digital capabilities. The new model was designed and implemented to encourage and support adoption by the local markets. The new model helped achieve the following benefits:
Increased revenue
Decreased costs
Differentiated the brand

The Association of Zimbabwe Traditional Environmental Conservationists (AZTREC) is a community Owned Non-Governmental Organisation (CO-NGO) bases in Masvingo Province South of Zimbabwe. The organisation is implementing a programme on enhancing and rivitalising African knowledge systems. Its philosophy is based on culture and cosmo-vision of the indigenous people. The organisation programme thematic areas are Indigenous agriculture, Nature conservation Local technology development, Traditional Health, Culture and Cosmovision. In general the programme is aimed at taking a holistic approach to development that is endogenous and empowering rural women. This paper looks at solar cooking and food processing as an alternative to sustainable utilisation of fuel wood by rural women of Masvingo Province. Under the thematic conservation of sacred woodlands and sacred wetlands, traditional ceremonies and rituals were performed and complemented by planting of indigenous tree species such as mukute (Syzigium cordutum) muonde (ficus carpensis), mutohwe (Azanza Garhiena) etc. The project was implemented through the leadership of the traditional institutions: these are the chiefs and spirit mediums who are the custodians of flora and fauna.
To that effect more that four thousand hectares of sacred woodlands were conserved, above one hundred sacred wetlands of at least ten hectares were rehabilitated, and close to a thousand orchards of indigenous and exotic trees were established. However on this initiative, there was need to provide an alternative to fuel wood (which most rural people of Zimbabwe depend on for cooking, lighting, heating and processing) in order to achieve sustainable utilisation.

Two men told a Bartow County Sheriff's Office deputy the pair gave the suspect a ride to Dollar General on Cassville Road from a Tumlin Street address. According to the incident report, the suspect started toward the store before turning back and demanding the men's money while holding his hand in the pocket of a hoodie in "a manner appearing to conceal a firearm."
Both men said they turned over their cash and the suspect fled into the wood line. The victim driving said he saw a vehicle from the Tumlin Street address in the parking lot and followed the vehicle. As he turned onto Cassville Road, the man said he observed the suspect attempt to enter the other vehicle, which sped off when the driver spotted the victim's truck. The second victim exited the truck and pursued the suspect on foot.
The victim said he lost the vehicle at Highway 293 when the fleeing vehicle failed to stop for a stop sign. The victim "locked up his brakes and slid into a nearby ditch." He told deputies the suspect got into the fleeing vehicle, which left the area toward Highway 41.
The second victim said he pursued the suspect on foot but lost the suspect when he jumped a barbed wire fence.
Both victims refused to complete a voluntary statement.
While the deputy was still on scene, dispatch spoke with the suspect who said he was en route to Stone Mountain. The suspect said the alleged victims demanded he purchase prescription pills for them or they would assault him.
He told dispatch that he fled from Dollar General "because he did not want to get in any trouble" and denied taking the men's money.
Driver strikes utility pole with police in pursuit
<*J>A Cartersville man was arrested Wednesday night after he allegedly laid drag before fleeing and crashing into a utility pole.
According to the incident report, the Cartersville police officer was sitting in the rear, vacant section of Autumn Canyon subdivision when a Chevrolet S-10 pulled into the cul-de-sac adjacent to the officer and began to drive erratically and laying drags.
The officer said the vehicle then attempted to flee the neighborhood at a high rate of speed. The officer followed the truck onto Center Road where the driver, identified as Chad Pittman, 32, lost control of the truck and struck a utility pole.
The report states that the officer drew his weapon due to the driver's erratic behavior and ordered the driver to show his hands. According to the officer, Pittman attempted to go forward but was unable to move since the rear right tire was knocked off in the crash. Pittman then attmpted to go in reverse.
The officer stated that Pittman repeatedly disregarded his commands to show his hands by saying, "No, sir." When backup arrived, the second officer approached Pittman who continued to disregard commands to get on the ground. The officer performed a leg sweep and was handcuffed. According to the report, Pittman smelled strongly of alcohol and was slurring his words and repeating himself.
After being medically cleared at Cartersville Medical Center, Pittman was arrested and charged with DUI, reckless driving, failure to maintain lane, driving too fast for conditions, laying drags and striking a fixed object.
Home lost in New Year's Day fire
A vacant residence was a total loss in an early morning blaze on Tuesday.
Bartow County Fire Department Battalion Chief Bryan Keeling said stations 1, 5 and 13 were called to 5982 Highway 20 just after 5:30 a.m. after a passerby saw the flames.
The 2,000-square-foot residence was a total loss, with crews on scene for roughly three hours.
Keeling said the cause of the fire remains unknown, although there was "no reason for it to ignite." No one lived at the location and no injuries were reported.
BCFD crews also worked a dryer fire on Meadowview Circle Wednesday morning. Keeling said lint caught fire about 10:30 a.m., doing minor damage to the home.
Stations 1, 2 and 5 were on scene about one hour, and no one was injured.

Students utilize $2,000 grant from Lowes to develop computer lab
May 14, 2012
DEARBORN / May 14, 2012---Members of University of Michigan-Dearborns Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE Dearborn) chapter recently partnered with University of Windsor SIFE to offer entrepreneurial classes to Detroit-area youth.
The program was part of an ongoing partnership with Young Detroit Builders (YDB), a non-profit organization that offers life skills preparations, GED preparation and on-the-job construction training to area young people who have dropped out of school.
Many people who get certification in construction are entrepreneurs; they go into business for themselves, said Angela Wilson, interim executive director of YDB. It makes a lot of sense to have entrepreneurship be a part of that curriculum.
SIFE members met with YDB participants over an 8-week period to teach basic computer skills and encourage them to develop business plans, topics covered included Microsoft Office programs, Internet research tactics and entrepreneurship.
Each student is different, each with a unique story of how they got where they are today, said Paul Steffey, a SIFE Dearborn member who organized the program. But the one thing that we saw in everyone was a willingness and eagerness to learn.
In order to create business plans, students learned how to evaluate their entrepreneurial ideas, conduct market research, market their businesses and assess financial feasibility. Participants presented their ideas to area business representatives at the conclusion of the program.
Wilson said the program instilled self-confidence in the participants and helped them think about future plans.
YDB participant William Byrd of Detroit, Mich., agreed. I was taught how to think and work like an entrepreneur, how to navigate through research and how to create a legitimate business plan, he said.
SIFE members also renovated the YDB computer lab. Students installed a drop ceiling, new lights and carpet, and repainted the walls. They received a $2,000 grant from Lowes Charitable and Educational Foundation to complete the work.
The Lowes Charitable and Educational Foundation (LCEF) is proud to partner with SIFE to provide SIFE teams the opportunity to raise the quality of life and standard of living for communities in need through the structural improvement of community, education, municipal, or residential facilities or operations, said Mike Brown, executive vice president and chief information officer of Lowes.
Steffey hopes the newly renovated computer lab, which includes 12 computers from Computers for Kids, a Windsor charity that seeks to provide access for children and youth, will serve as home base for the program in the future.
Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, University of Michigan-Dearborn is a metropolitan university serving southeastern Michigan, committed to excellence rooted in strong academics, innovative research and programming and civic engagement. The University has nearly 8,900 students pursuing more than 100 bachelor's, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business and education. A top-ranked university with a faculty devoted to teaching, and students committed to achievement, UM-Dearborn has been shaped by its history of partnering with local leaders and communities, and is committed to finding solutions for the challenges that face the region.

All jewelry has been enlarged to show beauty of detail. Gemstones may have been treated or enhanced by heating or irradiation. Emeralds and opals may be filled with colorless synthetic resins or oils. Gemstones require special care in jewelry repair or cleaning.
As the birthstone for May, the emerald, a symbol of rebirth, is believed to grant the owner foresight, good fortune, and youth. Emerald, derived from the word smaragdus, meaning green in Greek, was mined in Egypt as early as 330 B.C. Today, most of the world's emeralds are mined in Colombia, Brazil, Afghanistan, and Zambia. The availability of high-quality emerald is limited; consequently, treatments to improve clarity are performed regularly.

MORRISTOWN, N.J. -- The athletics department and the student-athletes at the College of Saint Elizabeth will again in 2012-13 join the fight against breast cancer and hold "Think Pink" events at home games.
The Think Pink games are a chance for the Screaming Eagles to honor the victims of breast cancer, collect donations that go toward cancer research and increase awareness of this terrible disease.
An initiative that started at basketball games has grown to include all of the teams at Saint Elizabeth. The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and the Associate Director of Athletics Kaitlin Burud have worked to create a home game atmosphere that includes a pregame moment of silence, a prize raffle at halftime, and the Screaming Eagles athletes in bright pink attire.
For 2012-13, Saint Elizabeth celebrated Think Pink with its home soccer match on October 6 against Gallaudet and is scheduled to host Think Pink at a home volleyball match on Friday, Oct. 26 against visiting Cooper Union.
Expected winter Think Pink games:
Women's basketball: January 9 vs. Penn State Berks 7 p.m.
Women's Swimming: December 5 vs. College of New Rochelle 6 p.m.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (December 2, 2010)—Hollywood Park will return to Thursday-Sunday racing for the final two weeks of the Autumn meet.
Due to a limited number of entries, the track was granted the reduction by the California Horse Racing Board.
This means Hollywood Park will be open for simulcasting only both Wednesday, Dec. 8 and Dec. 15. Gates will open at 10:15 a.m.
The Autumn meet continues through Sunday, Dec. 19. Post time is 12:30 p.m..
Before the 30th Autumn season concludes, Zenyatta will be honored with an appreciation day Sunday and two Grade I races will be decided.
After the sixth race Sunday, Zenyatta, who won 19 of 20 races and earned more than $7.3 million, will make a final visit to the Hollywood Park paddock, then will parade on the track in front of both the grandstand and clubhouse area.
Zenyatta, who earned eight of her victories at Hollywood Park, where she has been stabled for more than three years, will leave for Lane's End Farm in Kentucky Monday to begin her life as a broodmare.
The remaining Grade I events are for 2-year-olds. Fillies will get together in the $250,000-guaranteed Hollywood Starlet Saturday, Dec. 11 and 2-year-old colts and geldings will meet in the $750,000-guaranteed CashCall Futurity Saturday, Dec. 18.

My basement has electric baseboard heating separate from the heat source in the rest of the house.
I am going to install a programmable thermostat for this heat. Normally, I would turn the power off before doing so. Unfortunately I am not sure which circuit breaker controls it (because they aren't labeled detailed enough) so I would have to turn off all power to the basement....which would mean no lights to work with. Is it safe to change out the thermostat without turning off the power?
No. Baseboard electric is typically 220vac. So the breaker to control it should be a double pole breaker. That alone should help narrow down the choices of possible breakers for the baseboard electric.
You will also need a line voltage programmable thermostat not a typical thermostat for a gas or oil fired furnace. Heat pumps require their own type of programmable thermostat to handle the emergency heat mode.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Sparky617,

Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Thanks Sparky!
I did get a thermostat specifically for electric heating.
Being that its a double pole breaker certainly narrows it down but there are 6. A/H, Hot water heater, dryer, H/P, Range and there other is not marked. I can assume that it would be the one that isn't marked but how would I know for sure? I guess I could turn them all off.
P.S. I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either. LOL
Easy way is to just turn off all the 220 double breakers. Your lighting is going to be 110 so it will still be working.
Or, get a voltage 'sniffer' for about $10. Looks like a green pen and can tell you if the power is hot or not to your heat.
jaybee is correct, and thats a good way to do it
while your in electrican mode...
now would be a good time to mark your breakers
turn off one d-pole breaker, turn on your oven
if it dont come on...thats it..
ac unit. same thing..
water heater..they "grumble" you can hear em work
just do 1 breaker at a time, 1 fixture at a time..and mark your panel...
i use a cell phone, and 2 people
1 at the panel, turning off and on
the other inside..checking whats on or off
years ago...25.. my pa inlaw, asked me to replace a 220 plug on a window unit..ok,,,its your house
kill the breaker...i'll switch it out
it knocked me for a loop!!! wrong breaker marked
i shut the whole house offThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Frodo,
Hi Frodo,
All the d-pole breakers are marked except for one.
Thank you!
Perform the task sequence that was outlined by Jaybee & Frodo {a law firm sounding name} and that will get you home.
Not that this is the best way {my way} to do it but by checking ampere on the breaker{s} will help as well. Push in ovens are 40 amps, dryers are 30 amps, AC 50 or could be higher, depending on the size. Note this is most cases and none of those numbers are chiseled into granite.
But electric heat could be a 20 or 30 amp breaker, that being dependent on the unit size{s} in that circuit. And the corresponding wiring, of course. Good luck.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,

Jaybee & Frodo - I like it! It does sound like a law firm!
I believe all the220 volt cb's are dedicated to each appliance ( 1 for the stove, 1 for the water heater, etc ) so it stands to reason that the unmarked breaker is fir the baseboard heater.
I would shut off that breaker and open the connection cover on the heater and check , with a vom, for power. If there is no power, you're good to go. If you still have power repeat the procedure with each DP breaker
And I even get to be listed first....I must be the Sr partner.
Does this mean that I can start billing out 27 hours a day now?
In most cases this holds true. But electric heat is the exception to the rule. It is allowable to combine more than one unit on a circuit per NEC standards. Just run the numbers and remember to factor in the 80% rule and you are golden. Most units draw about 1 amp per foot in length so running those numbers is quite easy. {High output units excepted in this example}. Just tally those numbers. You are installing a 20 amp 240v breaker and are running 12/2 Romex cable. You can safely and legally install say two 6' units and a 3' unit on that circuit. The total load would add up to 15 amps, slightly below the 16 amps allowed under the 80% rule.
If you own a home with electric heat you might have noticed this. Say breaker #2/#4 reads master bedroom. That room may have 2 units, 1 under each window in that room. But they would be on one circuit along with maybe a shorter strip in a bathroom as well.
Now of course this is just an example of a circuit depending on the exact current draw of the units install. But it can be done as Ohm's Law is our friend.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,

Jaybee, make sure you take on corporate cases because then you can charge more (see below). And remember that you can also charge for time spent thinking about the case/issues.
CS, the guys who troll for personal injury and products liability cases are pathetic and annoying, especially the 1-800-sue-them type lawyers. But, the big bucks are in corporate and bankruptcy law.
Consider the Detroit Ch. 9 bankruptcy filing:
Jones Day is handling the bankruptcy; it normally charges $1,050 for its senior (read "partners") bankruptcy attorneys. That's $1,050 per hour, folks. However, the article states it has agreed to cut its rates by 10%. Isn't that generous?
Kevyn Orr, the emergency manager, was formerly with Jones Day. Hmmmm...how interesting.
And Orr was appointed by Gov. Snyder.
Read this for an interesting tangle of intertwined interests:
Detroit's been struggling for years and now the Savile Row attired attorneys are here to rescue it. Not.
Remember this the next time a client nickel and dimes you on your bills.
I don't know... when I need a lawyer, I always go to Foolum, Billem, and Runn. you KNOW they're honest...
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?

I heard these two firms were merging with Cheatem and Associates, which just bought a private sector ambulance firm.
Jaybee, be forewarned - you don't want to be a partner at these outfits!
sharks will never attack a lawyer.
professional courtesy.

No but a lawyer would sue a shark if he could figure out how.

Glenn and Paula's Farmhouse Kitchen
Kitchen Tour
When Glenn and Paula Foore decided to start a small community garden in their East Austin back yard, little did they know that within one short year it would manifest itself fully as Springdale Farm, a small yet vibrant urban farm taking up less than 5 acres just 3 miles east from the state Capitol in Austin, Texas. Just as unexpectedly, their kitchen became a place for passionate chefs — to whom the farm now supplied farm-to-table offerings — to transform fresh ingredients into healthy meals. At Apartment Therapy last week we toured this couple's beautiful pier-and-beam style farmhouse, and today we'll get a closer look at the very heart and soul of their home: the cozy kitchen.
The classic look and feel of the kitchen has a way of making you feel at home, and the size is neither too large for a private meal nor too small for a community event. The 1950s Chambers stove (original to the home) provides the kitchen with an everlasting charm. And the lovely pale green hue of the kitchen cabinets? The color was inspired by the farm's Araucana chicken eggs.
The kitchen also packs in a few clever organization tricks, like the narrow pull-out spice drawer, the behind-the-door pantry storage, and a corner cabinet Lazy Susan. A built-in checkerboard butcher block is the primary preparation surface, and a knife block crafted from the same reclaimed pine of the hardwood floors houses the essential tools.
You'll spot cans full of home-ground spice mixes and pickled vegetables (preserved from the season's harvest) colorfully arranged in the space and on the plates of their meals. There's plenty of outdoor seating as well if the billowing smoke from a smoker crafted by Glenn's father beckons a few unexpected visitors for dinner.
Glenn and Paula try to take everything that comes at them in life all in stride, one day at a time. It's a philosophy that serves itself not only in the kitchen, but out on the farm, and it's certainly what has guided this kitchen to become a place that nourishes not only themselves, but the local community.
10 Questions for Paula and Glenn (and Their Kitchen)
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
When we started farming, we would bring home farm fresh vegetables by the bushels. We learned to prepare them in simple ways that let the freshness speak for themselves. I think there is nothing more beautiful than a just picked eggplant, or beet, or red onion. We get those vegetables spread out all over the counters and fill up the kitchen. Kitchen space was a must have for us. We opted out of a dining room, incorporated lots of countertop space, and installed two sinks; one for prep and one for cleanup. Plus we both like to cook, so we wanted room for us, too!
2. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
We use the built-in butcher block for every meal.
3. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
Well, I have to say, being in the food industry exposes us to some amazing chefs. Our most memorable meals here have been things that real chefs have prepared. One that stands out in my mind was right after we moved in. The then-executive chef of the East Side Show Room came and prepared a personal five course meal, one course being homemade ravioli. There was flour everywhere! It was an amazing dinner, and the kitchen stood up to the test!
4. The biggest challenge for cooking in your kitchen:
The 1950s oven is a little quirky. But we love it.
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
We wish you could test out faucets before you install them. Not possible, but we might have picked different faucets.
6. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen?
It would definitely have been the soapstone counter tops. Our designer found them for an amazing deal here in town.
7. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
Right now it's all working for us.
8. How would you describe your cooking style?
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
Use herbs! Mix and match and experiment.
10. What are you cooking this week?
Lettuce has just come in season. We are having a big salad tonight with lots of colors of fresh lettuce (and leftover Richardson Farms grilled steak...yum). Later in the week I (Paula) will fix my mother's Hamburger Soup recipe — except we use ground venison.

Very beautiful, but I have a Farm House Sink and I hate it. It is gorgeous, but it doesn't drain down to the hole in the center, it is flat on the bottom. So every time we use it I have to get the sprayer out and clean it. Stainless steel double sink is much more pratical, but might not look good in that farm house kitchen.
Love this Kitchen!! I use to own a Chambers Stove,it was the color of these cabinets and had chrome & red knobs, best stove I ever owned, awesome cooking. Thanks for sharing your home!
You beat me to it.
What IS the deal with those sinks? I get the retro look but who needs a small bath tub with drainage problems for a kitchen sink? Srsly, single sinks went out with single hanging bare light-bulbs. As far as installs are concerned a tile-in or under mount sink is the way to go. And as far as looks go I notice that they don't have a problem with a modern Kitchen-Aid 'fridge.
I don't know, I have the Ikea farmhouse style sink and I don't have any drainage problems with it. The bottom is sloped just like any other sink I've had/used, and I only have to use the sprayer when it's actually dirty.
I had a single big sink in my last apartment and LOVED it. Now I have a dual sink and it drives me nuts because I can never fit all my pots and pans in it, and it requires a lot of faucet shifting to clean both sides. Definitely will own a sink like this when I have my own place someday.
Gorgeous. Would love to know the name of the local cabinetmaker!
With that big window in the front of the sink, I can see why electrical outlets were installed in the cabinets under the counter instead. But does it work functionally? It is weird to have plugs and cords poking out in front of the counters?
Lovely kitchen, however seeing eggs pointy-side-up makes me cringe!
Big single sinks are marvelous, and so much more ergonomic than double sinks. With double sinks, you are always dealing with the limitations of size on either side. A single large sink is so much easier on your arms as you're washing things, whether it's food prep, or scrubbing your baking sheets, a large roasting pan, draining a big pot of boiling pasta, or washing sweaters or a baby or a dog. I had a large kitchen sink in my first apartment and didn't realize how wonderful they were until I didn't have one in my next place.
and ps, I love this kitchen, and the fact that they painted it the beautiful color of their eggs. We did something similar in our bedroom, where I noticed one day that a very faded red blanket left out on the bed completely changed and warmed the feel of the room. So I took the blanket to the paint store until we got a match--from a 17 year old trainee who looked like he couldn't be bothered but turned out to be a color genuis--and now my husband and I both affectionatley refer to the color as "Blanket."
I have never had problems with my sink draining in the eleven years I've had it. Perhaps the sinks mentioned above are not properly leveled, or they're poorly made. Get a level and check. I did have a similar problem at an apartment with a claw foot tub where the floor had dropped so the water collected at the back.
My Chambers B is pretty great too, and I would have used the matching double side drainboard sink (instead of the farmhouse style) but the high back on it would have blocked much of the kitchen window. I do wish the Chambers had a window, but I suppose that's how it hold heat so well.

maybe i'm just being pedantic, but i thought tomato was a fruit ;P
- October 12, 2007 at 9:16 PM
- Kalyn said...
Labelga, glad you had fun.
Anna, here is what Wikipedia says about that:
"Though it is botanically a fruit, the tomato is nutritionally categorized as a vegetable. Since "vegetable" is not a botanical term, there is no contradiction in a plant part being a fruit botanically while still being considered a vegetable."
I did think about that before I included it but I saw quite a few sources that said it's considered a vegetable.
