FORT WORTH — A handmade sign reading Sign Petition Here Oppose Apartment Proliferation in East Fort Worth greets residents as they drive into the scenic Bentley Village Estates.Under the sign, a wooden box contains a petition that is protesting a developers plans to build about 230 low-income apartment units down the street.By Friday, the petition had about 200 signatures.Residents like Scott Willingham, who has owned his home in Bentley Village since 1984, is worried that the apartments will hurt home values in the area, burden schools and increase traffic on the roadways. The neighborhood already has more than 3,000 apartment units in a 1-mile radius of where the proposed project would be built in the 8700 block of Randol Mill Road, according to city records.Our feeling is that enough is enough. I feel that the City Council and the city of Fort Worth have long overlooked the east side as far as economic development, Willingham said, adding that the east does not need apartments, and it especially does not need more low-income apartments. Councilwoman Gyna Bivens for District 5 agrees, saying she plans to fight a rezoning application from the landowner. At her request, the council delayed the vote until the Oct. 15 council meeting. I think we have done more than enough to accommodate low-income units, Bivens said. We are just tired of being the dropping point for low-income apartments. Officials with Atlantic Housing, a nonprofit group focused on providing affordable housing, defend the proposed apartments on the land it plans to buy, saying market studies show the apartments are needed in the area and will be successful. The Fort Worth Zoning Commission approved the zoning change from neighborhood commercial to multifamily medium density on Sept. 11, although the council has final approval.James Schell, the Fort Worth attorney representing the landowner, East Chase LLP, in the rezoning, said the development has a contract to sell the rezoned land. The rezoning is compatible with the land use in the area, Schell said, adding he would strongly disagree with any persons analysis to the contrary.The proposed apartments also would not be located in southeast Fort Worth, but on the citys far east side, which is not as densely populated with affordable housing as the rest of Bivens district. But Councilwoman Kelly Gray, who represents District 8 on the citys east side, said the disproportionate number of low-income apartments is detrimental to the east and southeast. Most of the low-income housing tax credits for Fort Worth are concentrated in the east and near-northwest corners of Fort Worth, and two out of four public housing projects owned by the Fort Worth Housing Authority are in southeast part of Fort Worth, according to records from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs and the Fort Worth Housing Authority.There are great communities located in southeast and east Fort Worth, but because we have that perception from the apartments, it is lost. So we have to work a lot harder to allow people to see that jewel, Gray said. Biased viewpointsMichael Nguyen, president of Atlantic Housing, said affordable housing projects often face criticism from the community. Atlantic Housing is based in South Carolina, and operates more than 30 apartment complexes in Texas, South Carolina and Florida.I do think it is frankly folks just not knowing poor impressions or biased views for what low-income is, Nguyen said. The proposed complex would market to people making 60 to 80 percent of the areas median income, Nguyen said, and people with concerns about the apartments targeting the working class should look to Silver Leaf Apartments, an Atlantic Housing-owned complex adjacent to the disputed lot. Silver Leaf Apartments is a mixed-income complex of 176 units, offering select units as affordable housing units. Victor Burnett, 50, has lived in Silver Leaf for three years and loves the apartments for the peace and quiet. The apartment has a lot of families with children, said Burnett, and he cant understand why people would be opposed to adding a similar apartment complex. This area, it is growing and more and more people will be coming in. It needs to grow, Burnett said. Although some have expressed concern over the projects impact on schools, Nguyen said, Atlantic Housing promotes education by offering tutoring and mentoring activities to children who live at the complex, scholarships for college and discounts on rent for parents whose children have good grades and attendance. We believe firmly in being a steppingstone out of low income, Nguyen said.No matter what Nguyen says, however, many residents simply are against more apartments in the area.We fear an exodusJack Salamone, a real estate broker and president of the Bentley Village-Waterchase Estates Neighborhood Association, said the concentration of apartments will lower quality of life in the neighborhood, regardless of what income level the apartments are geared toward. Low income is not an issue with me. I think everyone needs a place to live high income, middle income, low income it doesnt make a difference. It is about stopping more multifamily housing; we just have so much of it, Salamone said. He is worried about increased traffic congestion and pressure on schools. Residents also are concerned about protecting their investment in their homes. It is an area where home values are between $57,000 and $268,000, according to the Tarrant County Appraisal District,We fear an exodus for our community. We fear becoming another community that could be destroyed or lessened in value, like other communities I wont name in east Fort Worth, who have seen their neighborhoods blighted because of a lack of concern by the City Council, Salamone said. DeDe Smith, vice president of the John T. White Neighborhood Association, has also been fighting the apartment complex, sending letters to the council and speaking out at meetings about the high density of low-income apartments.Tobi Jackson, a Fort Worth school board trustee for much of the east side, echoes their concerns. We are excessively dense with apartments, and adding further apartments does not seem to be conducive to what we are trying to do over here, which is stabilize education and stabilize the neighborhood and continue to improve education, Jackson said.Impediments to fair housingOverconcentration of low-income housing was a concern noted in the preliminary results of the Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Analysis for 2013.The study, completed by Robert Gaudin, director of research and planning for Western Economic Services, is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and was presented to the Community Development Council in September.Section-8 housing vouchers are especially concentrated in the southeast sections of Fort Worth, Gaudin said at the September meeting, adding that the city needs to know why that is. Then it becomes an issue of are they not welcome elsewhere, is that the problem? Gaudin asked when he presented the research.Cynthia Garcia, acting director for the Department of Housing and Economic Development for the city, said her department does not track where low-income apartments are located and has not used that information as a factor when allocating funding in the past, though it may in the future. The Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Analysis completed in 2010 found that Fort Worth faced many barriers to fair housing, including community resistance to the integration of affordable housing.I think it is unfortunate there is a mentality among some residents of the city of Fort Worth that if you are not wealthy, you are not welcome, said Schell, the lawyer for the development.

The Problem:
When shopping for services, people invariably make their decisions based on trust. Today, a vast majority of shoppers search online. Customer-created content on websites like Google, Yelp, Facebook, BBB and others can instantly destroy or instill trust. It also effects your search rankings on those sites! The problem is unhappy customers are 20 times more likely to post an online review than happy customers because they are motivated by strong emotions.
The Solution:
It's my job to make sure your online profiles on the important directories, review sites, and social sites are claimed and optimized for your keyword searches, and then get your happy customers to start talking about you on those sites. Having more content and higher ratings on review sites not only increases your rankings and visibility, it also builds trust with shoppers and results in more calls and more sales.
Greatly increase your share of internet leads! Call Rick Schettino at 760-696-2923.

Hand Engraved Brass Pilot Wings made for a friend who just got his pilot's license.
New Steampipe e-cigarette holder,complete with glowing coals of Kerium!
Kerium is the most valuable crystal in the universe of Bravestarr, a steampunk/western cartoon from the 80's. Basically a futuristic spin on the gold rush, it brought miners, settlers, and criminals to Lone Star planet. Every action figure from the cartoon came with acrylic nuggets of Kerium and they are very rare now! This pipe uses 2 Kerium nuggets which glow when turned on.
This one was created for personal use, but commissions for your own unique holder are welcome. Commissions are handled through my Etsy page.
The Imperial Steam Pipe: Created from brass and silver as a gift for a very distinguished gentleman for his 30th birthday.
"Glow Plug Earrings": Any good ship's mechanic will tell you that a glow plug is a nothing part. Till you ain't got one. Most ships will run for months and even years with the same plugs and you won't have a problem, but they do go out. The unfortunate side effect of one actually going out is that without a complete set, without a replacement. You're dead in the water.
That's why it's a good idea to have a couple extras around all the time. Conveniently mounted to be worn as earrings, but can easily be converted into a stylish necklace or slung from a utility belt. These lovely plugs will be the life of the party and your engine!
Never be without a Glow plug again! Pairs well with the Micro Lantern.
Handmade from Brass, Rubber, and an LED
Measures: 2.5" long x 1" wide
"Glow Rod Earrings": In times of need, it's important to be prepared. When out on a voyage anything could go wrong. You may even (through no fault of your own) find yourself stranded on a different world with no fuel to get airborne again. Gauge might be busted.
To this end I have constructed these fine earrings. Within these handmade casings is enough raw energy to blind most humanoids, safely contained within a magnetic flux barrier. Not only can they be dazzling Earrings, but can easily convert to a stylish necklace or be slung on a utility belt. Best of all, should the need arise they can be used to reactivate any standard core reactor and get you back on your way.
-These are temporary countermeasures and are not a substitute for a core recharge.
-They are not to be used to blind most humanoids.
-They are delicate storage units that may or may not be subject to force induced flux interference which may or may not result in a small but permanent….. explosion. Please handle with care.
NOTE: Earrings are not really subject to explosion but make a wonderful accessory to any outfit needing a little brightening up. Pairs well with the Micro Lantern.
Handmade from Brass, Rubber, Plexiglass, and an LED
Measures: 3" long x 1" wide
"Micro Lantern: Sometimes in life, you need to risk a little more light. Why rely on newfangled flashlights or old fashioned torches? There is a happy medium to be had in the lantern. Used by everyone from Link to Indiana Jones, lanterns provide just the right amount of light to see but just little enough to keep the environment dark and intriguing! But who has the space to pack one for every adventure? They can be bulky, heavy, and are too hot to put back in the pack when battle ensues (which it will). Then of course there is the fuel to consider and who knows if there will be a shop open to sell you more when it runs out? If only there was a compact lantern that is easy to use, is small enough to be worn at all times, and is bright enough for you to be able to pick that stubborn expert lock.
Reaction Designs Metalwork is proud to unveil the Micro Lantern! At only 3" in height it can easily be slung on a utility belt or even worn about the neck as a stylish and eye catching pendant! Entirely hand fabricated from solid brass, it's powered by Lithium Ion technology while maintaining a classic look. This little beauty will provide you with hours of light to rummage through buried treasure chests or to disarm that trap you might not have seen otherwise!
Measures 3" inches in length and is 1" in Diameter
This is a custom pendant designed to resemble a personal Submersible from the video game BIOSHOCK, now available for purchase.
The Bathysphere was a personal un-powered submarine used for research and observation. It was in essence a large sphere that would be lowered into the ocean. It would maintain pressure and a breathable atmosphere for a fixed amount of time and would then be retrieved. It could hold passengers or simply an array of sensors. In BIOSHOCK they are used for transportation via a network of rails.
The main hatch porthole and spotlight lens are composed of resin. The hatch is held closed with a magnet. The interior light is visible through the hatch, but to fully appreciate the detail you have to open the door.The main hatch swings open to reveal the control room.The back plate twists off to allow access to the battery box. The blue push button activates the lights. Entirely hand formed brass with an oxidized patina. Overall size is 2" in diameter and 1.75 " thick.
New piece: A Brass pipe to hold an electronic water vapor cigarette. Oh that's right, it's a steam pipe. The slide is extendable to accommodate different lengths of electronic vapor cigarettes.
The culmination of a collaboration with Ian of Skinz-N-Hydez. Many thanks to Mitch for his excellent idea of combining my Steampunk Stimpack with his custom gauntlet.
Gold Bearing Brass Pneumo: This piece was made by me during the last semester of my senior year at University.
This is my first, and I feel strongest, design in the Pnuemo series. I wanted to deal with the concept of containment and conveyance and I thought specifically about the air powered message tubes that banks use.
In a world of financial uncertainty and with precious metal costs at levels higher than ever before, should trends continue it may become practical and even fashionable to wear precious metal "investments" around your neck. While we already do this in ornamentation, I wanted to take that concept and apply it in an industrial and more practical sense. Rather than having something made from precious material merely as decoration, the pendant becomes a conveyor of wealth that could be traded and used as currency. This is the spirit that I try to convey with the Pneumo series: Small practical containers that convey riches and stay very close to the owner. Closeness, Security, Investment, Containment, Conveyance.
1.75" long, 0.75" in diameter on a 16" jeweler's cord. Composed of Brass, Sterling Silver, 24 Karat Gold Flake, & Mother of Pearl

I've been snowboarding for about 6 years. At first the lifts didn't bother me, but every year it gets worse for some reason. Last year I got on the lift and had to close my eyes the entire way (about a 15 min ride) because if i saw how high i was,i started to feel violently panicked. i had this visceral urge to jump off the lift - I knew obviously that this was the worst think i could do, but it was all i could do to stay on the lift and not do something dumb. Needless to say, i boarded down the mountain and didn't go back up.
I think the main problem is that there is nothing holding me in to the lift - i can go rock climbing, and as long as i'm roped in, i feel fine. Did anyone else have this problem, and if so, how did you deal with it?
You said you've been snowboarding 6 years... how many times per year, and how many runs do you manage to get in? I can't imagine that someone who snowboards or skis regularly would have this kind of fear. I would've given it up long ago if that were the case. Plus, if you're as afraid of heights as you claim, I don't think you'd try rock climbing and feel fine, especially lead climbing where even with a rope you still fall some.
If it's that bad, I'd bring some kind of safety strap to keep me attached to the chair, just as a security blanket. Do any of the lifts have a safety bar? Does that help? Why not just cross-country ski?
there are restraint bars...
|i have a theorie
Have you ever experienced social anxiety? Would people describe you as being a shy or quiet person?
I've been on ski lifts that didn't have restraint bars. Granted they were not that high but high enough to do some serious damage if you fell or jumped.
|Scottie Ferguson
Once I got up on a stool in my office, near the window, and was overcome with an intense fear of heights.
I've had the exact same experience. It's basically a panic attack, and the adrenaline mixed with the fear creates a deeper fear that becomes somewhat hardwired. For me it took counseling by a psychologist along with some prescribed drugs to get through it. You don't have to use the drugs long or maybe at all, just long enough to get back on the chair and ride it a bunch of times. Good luck, but you can definitely beat the fear.
That is very good but most will miss the reference.
|the answer is here
To be fair, some ski lifts don't have the safety bar, and it is scary. Especially if it is windy and the chair is rocking back and forth. Yes; I find that frightening.
|The Concrete Runner
Run 92 miles a week on concrete in racing flats. That puts life in perspective.
|i like to ski
Which mountain do you go to? I've been to 6-7 different mountains and every lift I've been on has restraint bars. I've never been afraid of them.
Hey, worse can happen than some panic...

I think it depends on what part of the country you're in. They used to be pretty common around here but they are mostly gone now from what I've seen. I'm guessing a lot of people got hurt from getting conked on the head by them, or forgetting to put them up at the end and then getting hurt in the big rush to raise them and get off. A lot more than they saved from falling. The only people that ever fall are kids screwing around, and they're not going to use the safety bar anyway.
Apparently you've never been to arapahoe basin (just down the road from keystone, in CO). There's a really old double there that goes all the way up the steep face, and it gets probably 100+ feet off the ground at times, and has no restraints. Not for the faint of heart.
I look up, I look down. I look up, I look down.
I think everyone has a little fear on a ski lift. I try not to think about it too much. Last week I was on a ski lift that stopped for 20 minutes 60ft above a steep icy slope. I felt very nervous. I just turned my focus to the surrounding mountains. In other words, find yourself a distraction.
Not all lifts in the Western US have safety bars. Plus the bars are typically only installed on HSQs and 6-packs. On lifts a just hook my arm around the backrest of the chair. Where I ski no one ever uses the saftey bar anyway.
If you really want to scare yourself, I mean overcome your fear, try the new Peak 2 Peak Gondola at Whistler/Blackcomb. Highest point off the ground is 1427ft!
i only go a couple of times a year, anywhere from 1-3 days at a time. ive only ever been to colorado - copper mountain, ski cooper and breck. none of the lifts i was on had bars - i htink i'd actually be ok if they did. i do feel fine rock climbing, thats why i know the ski lifts are an irrational fear. if i'm in control and strapped in im fine - its just being on the equivalent of a park bench 60ft above the ground that scares me.....i cant believe it doesn't happen to more people actually.
You need to get to know Mary before and during your ride up. Problems are over.
I've also had the feeling of panic, and getting the urge to jump off instead of keeping on going. My solution was to lean back, hang on to the back of the lift, and close my eyes.
|track chick
this sounds like something i had in a similar situation. i was on a fairground ride that broke down when I was very high up from the floor (everyone looked like ants and you could see across the whole city) but we were horizontally on our fronts as if we were flying but held in by a bar that kept moving, it didn't feel safe and i kept feeling like i was slipping under the bar. it was also very windy up there. It was horrible and I kept having flashes of falling to the ground, like it had actually happened. i think i fared better than the friend who was up there with me who was fairly traumatised by the whole thing, she also felt she kept slipping along the bar and she was holding herself up there by her own strength.
i think the best thing to do is close your eyes and think of something totally different, you can't try and rationalise it. as for me, my solution is never to go on those rides again!

Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.
- Albus Dumbledore
my hands are trembling
and my eyes are on fire
this house is crumbling
left brain, left out on the wire…
…my past is perilous
and each scar i bear sings
monuments to where i have been
and melodies to where i am going
she never mentions the word addiction
in certain company
yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
after you meet her family
she paints her eyes as black as night now
pulls those shades down tight
yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes
the pain gonna make everything all right
mama never cared much 'bout dreams
or love
she said it reminded her of my daddy
my daddy
he loved to fly
he'd say
death will come fast
i wanna be free
and closer to the sky
love grows cold,
lonely and tired
on the wings of angels
i want to fly
daddy's just the blood in my veins
shadows in my mind
as i'd watch my mama drown in her tears
he'd say
"i can't promise you love
and i can't promise you me"
in my heart of hearts
i yearn to fly
and death will come fast
i wanna be free
and closer to sky
love grows cold,
lonely and tired
on the wings of angels
i want to fly
i want to fly
i yearn to fly
and death will come fast
death will come fast
i yearn to fly
somebody let me down
somebody show me love
i wouldn't care much either way
i'd rather the sticks and stones
than dragging the ball and chain
of what if the world won't take me
even if the hull should crack
even if the blood flows red
nothing could be worse than numb
so please, use me up
i just want anyone
to use me up
'cuz no one ever does
use me up
i've carried it all too long
the fear and the pain it brings
feeling the panic building up
i'd rather the broken heart
than live in the emptiness
of what if the world won't save me
even if the bough should break
even if the blood runs cold
nothing could be worse than numb
please, use me up
i just want anyone
to use me up
'cuz no one ever does
use me up
use me up
treat me some way cruel
you could throw me away
as long as i feel it
show me something true
you can deceive me
i am yours to use
use me up
use me up
use me up
for so many reasons.
holy shit
rage city bitch
what are you mad about?
-Work friend tryna talk to my sister, breaking friend codes all up in this bitch
-my knee is swollen again and hurts
-this fucking pictureeeee mang I want to light it on fire its not coming out right

With the way the New Mexico Lobos bats came roaring into town, it appears the Sun Devils are fortunate to have met them for only one game.
After just over three hours of action at Packard Stadium, the Lobos (2-2) reigned supreme with a 7-1 victory over Arizona State (2-2)
The unlucky recipient of such an assault was junior pitcher Darin Gillies. Gillies allowed nine hits and six earned runs in just four and one-third innings of work, making the climb back into the game for the offense too steep of a hill to climb.
Donning their sharp-looking black hats and jersey tops, it was not as if the Sun Devils did not have opportunities, especially early on in the game.
New Mexico's starter, Hector Sanchez, was incredibly reliant on his curveball, which seemed unwilling to cooperate, at least at the onset. After walking the bases loaded in the second inning, Sanchez was able to escape with no damage with the help of shortstop Jare Holley, who made a run-saving diving stop to keep the game scoreless.
Credit must be given to the Lobos for their ability to keep the Sun Devil hitters off balance throughout the night, using four separate pitchers with all throwing either two or three innings. By varying the pitcher on the mound nearly every time through the order, it made it impossible for any Arizona State batter to get comfortable in the box.
Junior shortstop Nick Stankiewicz had an up and down night. While he ripped two base hits from the bottom of the order, he also reciprocated his production back to the Lobos by making two errors in the field, one being a throwing error that led directly to another run.
The other Sun Devil that had a multi-hit game was sophomore catcher RJ Ybarra, who left the game in the seventh due to what appeared to be an apparent lower leg injury.
The only run of the evening came off the bat of sophomore first baseman David Graybill, who crushed a high fastball out to left-centerfield to cut the New Mexico lead in half, at 2-1.
All-around, it was a difficult night for Sun Devil hitters. On five separate occasions, the Devils went down without so much as a base runner to speak of, making it look pretty effortless for the pack of wolves that took the hill for New Mexico.
With three nearly flawless innings of relief work, Jonathan Cuellar picked up his first victory of the season, while Darin Gillies struggled and suffered his first decision of the year, unfortunately, a loss.
The road ahead points straight to California with the Sun Devils going on a swing of three games against three different clubs over the weekend.
Next up, is Long Beach State, who has gotten off to a slow start to say the least. Their season began with a three-game sweep at home against Vanderbilt, before making the trip over to Malibu and falling to Pepperdine, blindsiding the 49ers with a 0-4 start to the season. This Friday at 7 PM, the two lock up in Long Beach, CA.
Over the weekend, the Sun Devils, Long Beach State, Wright State and UC Irvine will battle in round robin like action, soaking up some California sun and gaining invaluable non-conference experience ahead of conference play.

Comcast HSI in Sacramento, CA 95831.Been having problems with my modem staying connected for the past couple of months. Many times unscrewing the input coax to the Motorola SB6120 modem a few times would get it to connect again. So I finally got Comcast to send a truck out.my wiring looks like this:A) Port on Splitter/amp inside comcast dome -cable> B) 2-way Splitter in panel -cable> C1) Living Room -> D) Splitter -cable> E1) modem E2) Tivo HDBefore anything, the tech checked my model from his truck and said I had a "high Tax level," which I am not sure what he meant. Maybe high transmit level?The tech clipped off and replaced the coax connectors at both ends of the cable between A and B and also the one at B end of the living room cable. He tested the signal at the jack in A, at the B cable end that come from the dome, and at the cable end C1 that feeds the living room splitter and the end of the E1 cable that feeds the modem. He said levels were good enough. When we reconnected my modem it synced up really fast and got 4 bonded downstream channels and 3 bonded upstream channels at between 48-50 dBmV. This was more than I ever got before and it seemed stable so we left it at that.Later that evening, I noticed the blue lights indicating bonding had gone out so I checked the modem status page again. Single channel down and single channel up. Have not been able to get bonded up or down since yesterday. Wondering if they turned off bonding in my account or something. (how is that controlled?)Any clues on what happened or what I should ask about?
i would assume he meant high Tx level....transmit but 50 upstream isnt that high...fairly normal...bonding is controlled viz the cmts....nothing in the field, or that a tech could do would disable/enable it.i would call in and ask what your upstream signal to noise (usnr) is....i would suspect it to be low (under 30) and that is whats causing your modem to drop its connection...--I'm better than you!
Many times unscrewing the input coax to the Motorola SB6120 modem a few times would get it to connect again.
here is the stats from the current connection. does this indicate anything? i wish i'd grabbed the data from when I had 4 down/3 up.Downstream Bonding Channel ValueChannel ID 80Frequency 555000000 HzSignal to Noise Ratio 36 dBDownstream Modulation QAM256Power LevelThe Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested.

I am not in a position to interpret your line stats but I do have a SB6120 in Sacramento with Comcast. I experience a spontaneous going from blue to green indicating the loss of bonding. I power cycle the modem and I go back to blue. I only have HSI so there are no splitters at my end. Perhaps the problem is more global with Comcast or a failure of the SB6120. Since every speedtest I run shows no difference green or blue and none of the multiple devices which are always connected including VOiP, from a different provider, have any issues I figured I would leave well enough alone. Will say the 6120 is faster than my old 2.0 modem green or blue.
No matter what else is going on in your area, it is very likely that the 51 dB on the upstream is pointing at current or future trouble, Call for a tech, and let them work on it in person. (as gar187er said it may actually be the noise level, but rather than guess, call the local expert)
51 Dbmv is high for the upstream. That is the highst you want to go within the spec. 52 dBmV is the max I think for QAM64. I would get a tech.
why would transmit levels be high? isn't that controlled by the local modem? the tech did imply that since he checked all the levels on the line as ok, it could be my modem that was having the problem, but AFAIK, this is a good model of modem and it's less than a year old, so why would it be going wrong in this manner?
Could be a bad splitter as well, any of the connectors between the modem and tap, cable from their line to your house could be bad (if aerial, squirrels love to eat it, if underground it could have been nicked and damaged). But if he got blue lights I'm sure he was packing up and running away.
... so why would it be going wrong in this manner?
51 Dbmv is high for the upstream. That is the highst you want to go within the spec. 52 dBmV is the max I think for QAM64. I would get a tech.
Variables variables..
I'm currently at 51dBmv upstream, I have 3 upstream channels bonded, and the connection is solid. But this is not typical.More usual is 55dBmv, at that point there are no more bonded upstream channels and the connection becomes a bit unstable. When it gets to 57dBvm, it's like a yo-yo, up and down.On the other, shorter coax coming into the back of the house, I see 45dBmv upstream, but that's not where I need the modem.Comcast did a line test on the flaky line, which is nearing 20 years old, and said it was "horrible" and a tech is coming out on Tuesday.The only issue is will he run new coax free of charge, and if not how much will it cost.I could plug the modem in on the shorter 45dBmv line and get a pair of power line ethernet adapters to get it over to the room where the bad line comes in but that's such a huge kludge.We'll see.
Try posting in the Comcast direct forum. They may be able to enable channel bonding as they have done it for me in the past. Also for the upstream bonding it may depend on your speed tier. When I had Extreme 50, I had upstream bonding but when I downgraded back to Blast, I kept downstream bonding but lost upstream bonding.Could also be a signal issue or outside plant issue (most likely) or a faulty modem (least likely). Also if you've had any thunderstorms lately (it's the season for thunderstorms), the cable plant may have been hit by lightning and that can mess things up. I personally have only had one modem fail and that was a Toshiba PCX 1100u back in 2004 and I think it was a power or cable line surge. Other than that, I've replaced modems as they've became obsolete. My current modem is a 6120.
Comcast did a line test on the flaky line, which is nearing 20 years old, and said it was "horrible" and a tech is coming out on Tuesday.The only issue is will he run new coax free of charge, and if not how much will it cost.
Well, the tech said it will be no charge, but I'll believe that when the next bill gets here.He explained it much as you did, but I don't know what a ground block is.The cables here run from the pedestal along the outside of the foundation and penetrate the walls where needed. There are no jacks, the cable comes in and goes where needed in the room. There are plastic grommets placed on the cable on both sides of the wall.It needed to run under a walkway made of pavers. He said he couldn't rip them up, so I did that for him and replaced them when he got past that point. Did a great job, no corners cut at all.Signal now is great, not a single drop, not even a single correctable or uncorrectable since Tuesday.

Have you tried "sew through sport elastic"? It's available from "HomeSew"(which has it MUCH cheaper than JoAnn or Walmart). It has 4 lines unknitted along the length, you sew along the lines to attach the elastic directly to the waist of the shorts, no casing, no safety pin business. (I sew shorts in 15 minutes) I measure person's waist, cut elastic 7 inches smaller than person's real waist measurement.Overlap elastic edges one half inch & Sew elastic in circle.(I like to wrap the overlapped stitch area with a ribbon) When cutting out pants, fold down waistline edge, allow only one half inch above waist as there will NOT be a casing. Finish shorts as usual. Fold down one half inch of fabric at waistline edge, iron it so it stays down. Divide waistline edge into 4,mark with pins. Divide circle of elastic into 4s. Starting at center back,lay the elastic one eighth inch below folded edge, stitch along uppermost line in elastic, STRETCH elastic to match the four division points. Continue to attach elastic to shorts until all four rows are stitched. Writing it out, it looks complicated, but it just takes a bit of practice. The shorts look store bought. I have used this kind of elastic for more than 25 years, my six children wore handed down shorts that looked new.I use the same technique to put elastic in everyone's flannel jammies that I sew now.Give the "4 line"stuff a try, you'll like it!

Great idea. I'll have to try this some time. This is the same way I've been sewing pants/shorts since I was about 14 years old.

I sew for charity (JustOneAfrica.org)and need a simple shorts pattern that can be used for both girls and boys. How can I modify this pattern to make it for bigger kids?
I would need to modify for a range of sizes.

Thank You so much.I have been sewing for 43 yrs and usually have a pattern but I could not find one small enough for my grandson to have some new shorts.This is great!

Game of Thrones
Season 4
Janos Slynt was the Lord Commander of the Gold Cloaks, the city guard of King's Landing. Janos is described as having a frog-like face, jowls, and a bald head. As Lord Commander of the City Guard, Janos was known for his corruption, selling positions of favor in the Gold Cloaks to any man who had coin enough to satisfy his greedy lust.
During Lord Eddard Stark's tenure as Hand of the King, he allowed Janos to bolster the City Guard's numbers, in order to keep the peace during the Tourney of the Hand, and he also gave Janos some of his own house guard. Perhaps it was this reason that Eddard trusted Janos Slynt to support him, when he tried to depose Joffrey as King. However, because Janos was such a greedy and corrupt man, he betrayed Lord Eddard, and ordered his Gold Cloaks to kill the men of House Stark.
For his actions in supporting House Lannister, Joffrey grants Janos land and title, and awards him Harrenhal. This decision did not sit well with the noble houses, because Janos' father was a butcher. In fact, Lord Tywin Lannister did not approve, and cited that reason for sending Tyrion to King's Landing to act as Hand of the King.
When Tyrion arrived in King's Landing, one of his first moves was to strip Janos of Harrenhal and his title, and he sent the man to the Wall, in order to take the black of the Night's Watch. If the HBO series holds true to the books, we will see Janos Slynt again, as he joins Alliser Thorne as the two try and have Jon Snow executed for a traitor.
Do you think we will see Janos in season 4? What do you think of him? Let me know in the comments below, and while you're there, tell me who you would like to see as the next countdown character of the day.

I know you're wondering. But it's hard to imagine. Kind of like a fish imagining life without water. We've known corporate media for generations. Since the advent of psychology and marketing, the influence/manipulation of corporate media is ubiquitous. And not in a good way.
But let's take a few moments to imagine the features of post-corporate media, where increasing the audience [by a variety of questionable, sensationalist means, sometimes] to increase ad revenue isn't the goal.
Let's start here with this:

main index
Dark Age, to represent characters' thoughts with captions as opposed to thought bubbles, a comic-book equivalent of the cinematic technique of first-person narrative voice-over. Scott McCloud said it best in Making Comics:
"[Thought] captions seem to acknowledge the audience in a way that [thought] balloons don't, as if the character was sending their thoughts directly to the reader, and they can give the text an extra level of intimacy. They also don't require the thinker to be in panel to show where the thought originates from, so they can appear an panels that are framed from the thinker's point of view. Such 'thought captions' are usually in present tense ... and first person ... but past tense narration ... can cover a lot of the same ground." (155).Note that in manga, this is essentially the norm, as characters' thoughts are generally not shown in thought bubbles though they are not necessarily in captions and can be simply written on the page detached from the characters. When captions are used to represent the thoughts of different characters, it becomes an issue to indicate to which character the thoughts belong. Measures often taken to do so usually involve using different fonts for different characters, different caption colors for different characters, or different font colors for different characters. Not to be confused with when a character's writing (e.g., Rorschach's journal) is represented in a caption or captions that don't represent thoughts.

Well, that was one ugly professional football game.
The good news for the New York Giants is that they now know that they don't have to worry about going winless in 2013. With that said, nobody should be planning for any parade in lower Manhattan following the team's victory over the Minnesota Vikings. New York won what will undeniably go down as one of the worst contests of the season, a nearly unwatchable affair for any neutral. 1-6 feels better than does 0-7, but it doesn't feel all that much better.
Sober thoughts on Giants beating the Vikings: When numbers lie I
Excited Giants fans and some analysts have been more than thrilled to point out that a New York run defense that had been far from elite heading into Monday evening held Adrian Peterson, arguably the most talented running back in the NFL, to just 28 yards on 13 carries. Peterson never got going due to the Giants winning the battles up front, a first for the team this season. Peterson's best play from scrimmage came off of a screen pass that netted Minnesota 14 yards.
Here's the buzz kill truth about those numbers. It was clear from Minnesota's first offensive series that quarterback Josh Freeman, signed by the team just last week, was not ready to go. With that knowledge, the defense of the Giants was able to key in on Peterson without at all having to worry about being burned by the pass. I want to see what this unit does against Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles this coming Sunday before I even begin to believe that it has turned a corner.
Sober thoughts on Giants beating the Vikings: When numbers lie II
The box score says that Eli Manning had zero turnovers for the first time this season. That sounds great and all until you go back, re-watch the game and notice that Minnesota defensive players dropped at least three interceptions. Manning did manage to have his best game of the campaign, and it also needs to again be pointed out that he alone is not fully responsible for all of those picks that he has thus far tossed this fall.
What's most alarming about New York's passing attack is that Manning and his WRs seem to have little chemistry at this stage of the season. Hakeem Nicks may or may not be eying a trade, and Rueben Randle, who did have a nice touchdown grab on Monday night, isn't quite where his coaching staff wants him to be. With no real rushing attack to be found on the roster, Manning and company have got to immediately get it together.
Sober thoughts on Giants beating the Vikings: Hope?
Fans of the Giants who aren't yet ready to begin looking toward the 2014 NFL Draft are hoping that Monday's result will be one that sparks a true Big Blue rally. How realistic is such a scenario? Well, the NFC East is rather mediocre. At 1-6, New York is but three games out of first place.
When you have notched a single victory in your first seven contests, every game is must-win. That's very much so the case for the Giants as they prepare to face off with Philly. A New York win this coming weekend coupled with the Dallas Cowboys losing at the Detroit Lions (not unlikely) AND the Washington Redskins losing at the Denver Broncos (not unlikely) could make things rather interesting in the division heading into what will be a Bye week for the Giants.

Posts tagged: Spokane Area Workforce Development Council
UPDATED: At 1 p.m., we learned that the city and county don't provide money to the Workforce Development Council. Which means this was a politically necessary system that involved some overview by city and county officials, but without any skin in the game.
City Communications Manager Marlene Feist said: "For the first time, SAWDC did get a County grant this year—an outside agency grant for $20,000.
"The SAWDC funding primarily comes from federal and state grants," Feist noted.
The Spokane Area Workforce Development Council, a joint effort between the City of Spokane and Spokane County, will be relocated as an operation of Community Colleges of Spokane.
The transferl is part of efforts top align workforce services more efficiently and to let Workforce work more closely with the community colleges.
The SAWDC will continue as a nonprofit agency. Its goals are: closing the skills gap, helping workers gain new skills, helping workers and companies improve productivity and reduce poverty in the region.
A press release said the new plan should make it easier for the agency to find money from a more sources and streamline management.
An interlocal agreement between the city and county allowed the SAWDC to operate as a city department for nearly four decades.
The release said: "But as the city and county have looked for ways to improve services for citizens, moving the SAWDC to a non-profit made sense. Workforce development agencies across the state and nation have thrived using a similar approach.
"This change reflects another model of collaboration between the city and county," says Mayor David Condon. "At the city, we are making changes to focus our efforts on what we do best and allow others to operate services that are outside our area of expertise."
Mayor Mary Verner and the Spokane Area Workforce Development Council have declared June to be "Hire a Youth" Month. The proponents hope it only takes a mere month to inspire many employers to open their doors and bring young people into the workforce.
Two years ago, many area teens could get summer, entry-level jobs without superhuman effort. That's changed and has made getting hire more difficult, since many of those entry-level jobs are going to skilled workers displaced by layoffs, said Heidi Peterson, youth services manager for NextGenerationZone, a cooperative nonprofit coalition focused on helping young people find good jobs in the area.
Nelson said the unemployment rate nationally for 16-to-19 year-olds is 24 percent.
She said area businesses can help by creating paid or unpaid internships, light-entry level jobs, job-shadows and even short-term jobs that teens can fill.
Spokane firms looking for information on how to hire teens can use the website at Nextgenzone.org.

Book Description:
In a sweeping new epic of breathtaking excitement and adventure, Sarah Zettel, author of A Sorcerer's Treason, tells the enthralling story of a courageous woman from small-town Wisconsin caught up in a maelstrom of empire-shaking politics and sorcerous conspiracy on a dazzling world far removed from our own.It is 1872. Ingrid Loftfield and her sister Grace are living uneventful lives with their family on Sand Island, Lake Superior, until the day Grace nearly drowns. Grace becomes inexplicably ill, for she has been saved by the spirit of a drowned sailor which rests uneasily beneath the water. Ingrid can only watch as her sister drifts toward death, lured by the restless spirit, until an immegrant Finnish fisherman, Avan, helps Ingrid release Grace from the spell that binds her.Having rescued her sister, Ingrid herself begins an odyssey stranger than she could imagine. For Avan is not what he's assumed to be. He's Avanasy, a powerful sorcerer who's been banished from another world, Isavalta, where he tutored Medeoan, the princess-heir to the empire until she married a prince of a rival realm. Prince Kacha has won Medeoan's heart, and with the aid of his mentor, a subtle and ambitious sorcerer, plans to win Isavalta, using sweet Medeoan's love and an array of magical means to usurp her crown. Once Avanasy is gone, Kacha acts swiftly to isolate Medeoan from other allies, and to weave a spell that will weaken her so he can rule in her stead. When Medeoan discovers Kacha's treachery she flees, determined to win back her crown. She can only succeed if Avanasy, her oldest friend and most powerful ally, will return to help her. Because Avanasy loves Ingrid Loftfield and she loves him, together they must cross the vast gulf that separates our world from the magical realm of Isavalta. to rescue Medeoan, and fulfill a destiny far beyond Ingrid's wildest dreams.

Vaneeza Ahmed
Vaneeza Ahmed the most refreshing face in the business and one of the most amiable dispositions. In the field of modeling ruled by catty tactics .... she is the cattiest of them all. She's one of the ambitious models we have in Pakistan- and she has no qualms about admitting it. She travels back and forth, shuttling between her hometown Lahore and the city where dreams come true - Karachi. She knows that this exercise is worth her while. Vaneeza Ahmed, the Lahori supermodel that gave the Karachi beaus a hard time - she's got what it takes.... all that it takes, to get to where she is today. She is from Kinnaird College Lahore and from there as a student she launched herself in a career, she never thought to be hers. So, from modeling for Neelofer Shahid's couture she went on to a photo shoot with the best in the business - Ather Shehzad the duo responsible for introducing some of the finest models today..... and the discovery of Vaneeza aka Vinny also falls to their credit. That's how the journey started for this charming splendor and along the way added accolades to list of merits. She has left no stone unturned. From modeling to acting she did it all- played the leading lady in Jamal Shah's controversial saga, graced the cover pages of the countries top publications off and on, went as far as Mauritius to prove her love for acting and of course sashayed down the catwalk with the grace of a swan- how many times? She has lost all count. But one thing worth remembering is her role as 'Dina'- in the movie Jinnah where she has played the role of Quaid's daughter and they say� she played it well. She's worked hard to get where she is today. She's come a long way in a very short time, and the way she's going, she'll go a long long way.

Portland, OR
Portland's annual Quiet Music Festival, Chris Johanson's sleepy little lamb of a program, rears its downy head once again this weekend at Disjecta.
"We've got an even softer floor this year so we anticipate more sleeping," says Chris. "This is a great place to come if you've ever wanted to sleep with a group of people."
This year's list of light-hitters includes Marisa Anderson, American Music Club's Mark Eitzel, Neal Morgan in a collaborative set with Pulse Emitter, The Mekons' Sally Timms and many more. Let 'em lull you.
Chris Johanson's Quiet Music Festival begins tonight at Disjecta in Portland. "With so much blown yang energy," Chris says, "people need to get into their yin energy and power, and we're excited about the possibility of people falling asleep during the performances this year. Our mission is to find more rugs and pillows for the upcoming festival, so they'll be even more objects to fall asleep on." He adds, "Expect to have good dreams."
Soothecore ear-kissers include Sun Foot, Dragging An Ox Through Water, Heidi Alexander, cellist Lori Goldston, Meg Baird, Michael Henrickson, Money Mark, Sun Foot, Peggy Honeywell, White Magic, Volunteers Park and a multi-piece act by Tara Jane O'Neil that fuses stone age technology with electronic devices.
Plummet into slumber with us tonight and tomorrow — you can get tickets at the door for one or both nights.

Sir Edmund Hillary is dead at 88 after suffering a fall. Famous for being the first climber, along with Tenzing Norgay, to reach the summit of the world's tallest mountain, Hillary was also a champion of the Nepalese Sherpas who helped him get there and over the years he built schools and clinics for them.
Returning to Everest base camp, he famously greeted another member of the British expedition group with the words: "Well, George, we've knocked the bastard off."
After the ascent, Sir Edmund led a number of expeditions to the South Pole and devoted his life to helping the Sherpas of Nepal's Khumbu region.
His Himalayan Trust has helped build hospitals, clinics, bridges, airstrips and nearly 30 schools. He was made an honorary Nepalese citizen in 2003.
Hillary, right, poses with Tenzing Norgay, the Sherpa who accompanied him to the top of the world.

Morning-after pill use up to 1 in 9 younger women
About 1 in 9 younger women have used the morning-after pill after sex, according to the first government report to focus on emergency contraception since its approval 15 years ago.
AP Medical Writer
About 1 in 9 younger women have used the morning-after pill after sex, according to the first government report to focus on emergency contraception since its approval 15 years ago.
The results come from a survey of females ages 15 to 44. Eleven percent of those who'd had sex reported using a morning-after pill. That's up from 4 percent in 2002, only a few years after the pills went on the market and adults still needed a prescription.
The increased popularity is probably because it is easier to get now and because of media coverage of controversial efforts to lift the age limit for over-the-counter sales, experts said. A prescription is still required for those younger than 17 so it is still sold from behind pharmacy counters.
In the study, half the women who used the pills said they did it because they'd had unprotected sex. Most of the rest cited a broken condom or worries that the birth control method they used had failed.
White women and more educated women use it the most, the research showed. That's not surprising, said James Trussell, a Princeton University researcher who's studied the subject.
"I don't think you can go to college in the United States and not know about emergency contraception," said Trussell, who has promoted its use and started a hot line.
One Pennsylvania college even has a vending machine dispensing the pills.
The morning-after pill is basically a high-dose version of birth control pills. It prevents ovulation and needs to be taken within a few days after sex. The morning-after pill is different from the so-called abortion pill, which is designed to terminate a pregnancy.
At least five versions of the morning-after pills are sold in the United States. They cost around $35 to $60 a dose at a pharmacy, depending on the brand.
Since it is sold over-the-counter, insurers generally only pay for it with a doctor's prescription. The new Affordable Care Act promises to cover morning-after pills, meaning no co-pays, but again only with a prescription.
The results of the study were released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's based on in-person interviews of more than 12,000 women in 2006 through 2010. It was the agency's first in-depth report on that issue, said Kimberly Daniels, the study's lead author.
The study also found:
-Among different age groups, women in their early 20s were more likely to have taken a morning-after pill. About 1 in 4 did.
-About 1 in 5 never-married women had taken a morning-after pill, compared to just 1 in 20 married women.
-Of the women who used the pill, 59 percent said they had done it only once, 24 percent said twice, and 17 percent said three or more times.
A woman who uses emergency contraception multiple times "needs to be thinking about a more regular form" of birth control, noted Lawrence Finer, director of domestic research for the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit group that does research on reproductive health.
Also on Thursday, the CDC released a report on overall contraception use. Among its many findings, 99 percent of women who've had sex used some sort of birth control. That includes 82 percent who used birth control pills and 93 percent whose partner had used a condom.

Because they are at high risk of predatory or fraudulent lending and debt collection, enlisted persons should be wary of high-pressure sales, said witnesses at a U.S. Senate Commerce Committee hearing on Nov. 20. Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) called the meeting to address why military members have higher credit card debt and why they are more likely to use high-interest loans such as payday lenders.
Lawyer Dwain Alexander of the Navy's legal assistance office pointed out that "service members have been trained to trust authority." Lenders also may prey on military personnel who move around a lot and live on isolated bases and may lack the knowledge and experience that come from a stable community.
The Military Lending Act, passed in 2006, caps interest rates for service members at 36 percent -- but only on loans with a term of six months or less. The Tennessee attorney general sued electronics retailer SmartBuy, which set up outside Fort Campbell on the Tennessee-Kentucky border, for charging more than 300 percent of recommended prices and camouflaging it by promoting installment payments. The retailer also falsely advertised interest rates and used illegal collection practices, such as threatening to call superior officers.
In another case, the family of a soldier killed in Iraq received months of illegal harassment from a debt collector. Rockefeller expressed a desire to use his committee's subpoena power to force executives from companies like SmartBuy to testify before his committee.

Gov. Christie is too inexperienced. He has to do a little work in N.J. Being loud, rude obnoxious and xxxxlarge is not enough, even for a republican.
Some of Chris Christie's political allies have a telling way of describing the man who has become the most talked-about candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, even though he's adamant he's not running.
They have in recent times called the New Jersey governor "a bully and a punk", "vindictive", "deranged" and "a rotten prick".
Then there are Christie's political enemies – and that's how many regard themselves, not merely as opponents. They describe the governor, who claims to be the leader who can reach across the ideological divide and break the partisan deadlock in Washington, as conducting a "rule of anger", of having "a remarkable inability to have a civil dialogue" and of using his powers as an "instrument of revenge and rebuke". He has also been derided as "the king of liars".
Christie burst into the race for the presidential nomination, even without declaring his intention to run, with a speech at the Reagan Library in California last week that electrified many conservatives who fear their party's existing crop of candidates – led by Rick Perry and Mitt Romney – are not cutting it.
For months Christie has said he has no intention of seeking the nomination to challenge Barack Obama and that is the stance he maintained last week, even after one woman pleaded with him to take the White House for the sake of her children.
Governor Christie is too fat, too liberal and too late to win the GOP nomination for president in 2012. As radically right as his policies are the tea party hates him because he's not an out-and-out nazi. Mark Montgomery NYC, NY email@example.com
Mum is a flower of silence
"will he or won't he,"
How would stocking the White House with food for this guy help cut government spending?
In the only contest that matters, Christie WILL lose, while Romney CAN win.
Which is it, GOP?
Do you want to capture the White House, or what?
I don't see any way that a run by Chris Christie can be compatible with being gov of NJ. The things he would have to say, the positions he'd have to defend (global warming, gun control, immigration) – they can't be done while governing NJ. The editorial at ReasonableViews.com explains why. http://bit.ly/pmQ2zT
It's tough not to stay mum when your mouth is full.
He has said repeatedly that he has no intentions on running, so why does the 24 hour news-gasm insist on pushing him into the fray? Because Ron Paul is picking up steam. Ron Paul is the only candidate that running for the people with an anti-corporitist agenda. Since all media is owned by some form of a giant corporate entity, they all bash Ron Paul, call him a nut, & cut his speaking time in debates and interviews. But they can't stop the money bombs. Ron Paul has the largest online following of any presidential candidate, and proves that he's electable by winning his congressional seat time & time again. So the only thing the media can do is try to take your attention from Ron Paul by shining the spotlight on some corporate oaf who's willing to sell out his/her policies to the highest bidder. VOTE RON PAUL 2012
That poor 5XL guy can barely walk, running would kill him.

Tomasz Kuszczak is enjoying his prolonged run between the sticks for United, but admits he still needs to raise his game.
The Polish stopper has started the last six games in a row following an injury to Edwin van der Sar. However, he wasn't happy with his latest display, in the midweek win over Wolves, despite keeping a clean sheet.
Speaking to MUTV, Kuszczak said: "I still make some small mistakes which I'm not happy with. I'll stay honest about my performance. Okay, I didn't concede, but I made some mistakes which could have cost us a goal.
"They didn't, but I'll try to play better next time and have more composure. Every single game for me is like a lesson. I need games to get better but I'm enjoying playing regularly because you can do something with your performance."
Kuszczak is determined to hold onto his place for as long as possible after sampling regular first-team action. He admits that after some tough times when he found himself out of the side for prolonged periods, it's been refreshing to get plenty of game time.

Loving the new Eevee evolution. Had to try my hand at spriting it. Turned out way better then I thought it would.
I am happy with it. Well. As happy as I can be while half asleep. lol
I always seem to make decent art while sleep deprived.
Found this when I was looking through my art folder so I thought I'd post it up here. Wish I had something more recent but this'll do for now. I rather like it anywho.
Made this a couple of years ago when I first found out about the browser app. It's the only one in the batch that's actually something and not just random scribbles lol
The app is still around though. Quite fun to fool around with. http://www.zefrank.com/scribbler/scribblertoo/
Thought I'd put this on here. even though I can't finish it until I get a new tablet pen.
Rather like it though. least what I had done of it.
Once I get a scanner that works I'll put up some of the sketches I've been doing. Trying to draw something at least once a week. so far so good. :D
I've had this Tumblr for a while. It's time I put it to use!
Which is why I'm adding WIPs of stuff that I started recently. Hopefully this'll motivate me to finish something in a timely fashion instead of leaving them alone for 5 months only to come back to a broken tablet pen.
Totally didn't happen. Nope. Not at all. ;_;

The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, this book is gonna come in handy. But for now I'm stuck with a bunch of morons. Today is the first day of school, so I figured I might as well write in this book to pass the time. Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that.

Reviews for Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Book 1)
Funny, but childish!
I couldn't see why this was in YA/Teen section in the library, cuz I'd rather call this a Children's book. It was funny though... Jeff is a good cartoonist, that made this funny at some points. This is a perfect children's book, I would bet that my little brother would love it.
I felt that it got a bit too silly with the nicknames... I don't recommend it to YA readers, but It's an easy read if you just want something to read while you're at a holiday or something.
There aren't any chapters in this book but it's divided into months and monday-sunday, just like a diary... It has really awesome drawings and it's really quick page turner... I didn't feel captivated with any of the characters. The story didn't have any remarkable ending either... by Sindre Ellingsen
A Hilarious Read!
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is one of the funniest children's book series ever. The book itself is very well designed, with the front cover actually looking like a diary (The first line of the book: "Let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL, not a diary.). The cartoons on the inside of the book are also very well drawn, with the pages being lined, just like in a journal. This is the first book in a quite long series by Jeff Kinney. The story is about Greg, a self-centred boy who thinks he's going to be famous, and his day-to-day adventures. This book is an excellent read and I urge you to go and get it RIGHT NOW! by ReviewerOfReviews

Your best recipes/ideas for cooking using a single hotplate
- u
- ultimatepotato Aug 5, 2013 06:06 AM
The gas supply to my apartment has been out for a week, and the interim cooking solution supplied by the gas company is a single hotplate. So far I've been making do with salads and sandwiches, but I have no eta on when the repairs will be done and I know I'm going to want to cook something hot soon.
So I have an electric kettle, a toaster and a single hotplate. My mind is going blank in terms of what I'd usually make in one pot/pan, aside from the usual eggs or beans on toast.
For those of you that have used/currently use a hotplate, what are your favourite/best meals? And do you tend to stick one-pan wonders, or are you happy to use it for several processes for one meal?
Thanks in advance for the tips - I think all the freezing showers have taken away my recipe brain!
If its large enough and you can set the temperature low, can you use it to make a stew or a curry?
Do you have a rice cooker, or any interest in investing in one? Would really give you more options to work with one-dish meals made on the hotplate. And a rice cooker is a good investment beyond your immediate need.
re: BernalKC
It's fairly small (in size) and power (1500w) but, as I've discovered tonight, the whole unit gets very hot. I wouldn't be keen on using it for a stew or anything slow-cooked, because I think it's incredibly low-range and not designed to be on for more than maybe 20 minutes. Will definitely be looking into a rice cooker if this goes on for very long - don't currently have one as I live alone and I never thought it was worth it for the volume.
re: ultimatepotato
Rice cookers (at least mine) are just as good for cooking a half cup of rice as 2-3 cups. Its one of those things that, now that I own one, I can't imagine every living without it.
re: BernalKC
For smaller amounts (1 cup or less), I use a microwave.
I'll start out by admitting that I have never used a hot plate. That said, a few things come to mind:
1. Poached salmon. You don't need to get it super-hot so it should work if you don't try to cook too much at once.
2. I keep intending to try this recipe that I found on Pinterest (with a few changes, of course!): http://www.apronstringsblog.com/one-p...
3. Quesadillas. Not exciting but fast and tasty.
4. My favorite broke dinner: cabbage and ramen. Sautee the cabbage with ginger, garlic, soy, and sesame oil (powdered spices are fine) then toss in a packet of slightly undercooked ramen noodles (these can actually be done in the microwave or left sitting in boiling water for a few minutes). Finish them all up in the pan together, with or without a bit of the seasoning packet.
5. Sloppy joes. Again, not that exciting but always good. My recipe: saute an onion, add ground beef, drain once cooked. Add 1 bottle of Heinz chili sauce and cook until hot. Not the most sophisticated recipe but I love it.
Good luck!
re: wandajune6
Thanks for the ideas - I had forgotten about quesadillas, and I just made something similar to your ramen. Had to look up sloppy joes!
I have been limited to two induction hotplates during renovation. Don't hesitate to buy a second plate, preferably induction, until this is over. That will let you do a starch and a main at the same time. If you have or can acquire a pressure cooker, that will add to quick meals immeasurably.
Dried beans were my best friend, for chili, stews, and cassoulet. Canned beans would speed things up.
The only thing I missed was high heat searing and broiling. Easy to live without for a few weeks.
Here is a photo of beef ribs slow cooked over a burner-plate.
re: jayt90
I'm hoping to avoid getting to the point of buying extra appliances as it's just me by myself (all dinner parties cancelled for the foreseeable!) but those ribs look fantastic, thanks!
I've made all sorts of things on a single hotplate, any "one pot" meal can be made on a hotplate really.
The best advice I have is to remember that you can actually do multiple things on a single hotplate. For example, if you cook tomato sauce in one pan, it will stay hot enough sitting, covered in its pan while you cook pasta. Then just toss the two together in the (now empty) pasta pot over the heat to finish. Works well. Rice the same way - keeps warm long enough to cook something in a skillet to go with it.
re: thimes
Thank you - I'm sure if this stretches towards the next weekend I'll start the multi-pot options.
re: ultimatepotato
you can also do a lot with steaming - from simple things (vegetables/shrimp/chicken/etc) to more "adventurous" like chinese steamed buns (bao) to change things up a little.
re: thimes
I want to second thimes' advice: you can do multiple things on a single burner. Rice and pasta just as thimes says. Meat or chicken can wait long enough to do a simple green veg. I have been working with a single burner for awhile now and it has barely slowed me down, just a matter of thinking through the steps a bit.
I've made a decent steak on a hotplate, believe it or not. Helps to have a good cut of meat, though.
I cook on a single hotplate A LOT!
Carmelize onions. Add a fresh tomato (cut up), some peppers (if you want) some hot pepper, thyme oregona rosemary garlic, a can of chickpeas (or other canned beans, black beans, etc.) with liquid. Simmer till the all are tender. Serve over toast (from the toaster). Or get a small container of rice from your local takeout Chinese place, and serve over that.
Any stir fry. You can make the rice first, pull it out and rinse the pan, make your stir fry, pour it over.
Any pasta sauce--you can cook the pasta first, then add it back in. Carbonara. Do the bacon first, rinse pan, cook pasta, grate cheese, add bacon and cheese and raw egg to the hot drained pasta, toss in the one pan.
Fish chowder. Paella. Bouillabaise.
The sky's the limit!
Sausage and peppers. Veggi sausage (and veggi peppers). Chipped beef on toast. Chicken a la king on toast. Any of Julia Child's sauteed chicken breasts (on toast!)
Get some couscous or whole wheat cous cous. That cooks up in a bowl if you pour boiling kettle water over it, so you can use the burner for something else.
A very cool thing for this are those Chinese steamer baskets which fit one on top of the other.
They are for this exact situation. Rice cooks in the first pot.
Fish steams in the one on top. Greens or dumplings can steam in the one on top of that.
I haven't used a hot plate but I often don't have 2 things cooking on different burners, I love me some one pot meals. You could do larger quantities of whatever starch you want (rice, pasta, mashed potatoes) and keep in the fridge, and then make the protein/veggie portion right before eating. Toss in the starch with the rest to reheat it. Here's a few ideas for that:
When I just had one hotplate to cook on I would often do pasta + sauce dishes. I would cook the pasta for 5 of its required 10 minutes, then take it off the heat and cook the sauce. The pasta will continue to cook from the residual heat in the water (though will take a bit longer as it cooks slower and slower as it cools). Then my 10 minute sauce and my pasta would end up being ready at the same time!
I like this one-pot pasta method. We've added chopped rotisserie chicken, smoked sausage, pulled pork. Quick and easy and endlessly adaptable.
Tabouli- boiling water ontop of bulgar to cook it
Savory oatmeal- add greens, soy sauce, mix in egg while still super hot
Big salads with burger/veggie burger patty from toaster oven
Grain salads with bulgar or couscous- add greens, raw veggies and nuts
English muffin or bagel "pizzas" in toaster oven
Burritos- heat refried beans on burner, skip the rice
A cheap rice cooker could make rice, quinoa, oatmeal, chilis, stews and worth the $25 if this is an ongoing situation
Thanks for all the ideas - I just needed a swift reminder that during the week I tend to use one burner and one pot whenever I can anyway. It's just typical that while I'm restricted to it I tend to want things that are slightly more complicated. Hopefully will be fixed by the weekend, otherwise I'll be looking into rice cookers too.
One more thought--you can make various savory fritters or pancakes (potato pancakes, corn cakes, clam cakes) on the burner and set them on lettuce or other shredded greens that wilt slightly, slightly cook.
Do you have a microwave as well? Many pastas cook up easily in the microwave - freeing up your burner. Just throw them in a bowl of water and nuke them for about 20 min or so.
A big pot of chili would be good, plus you can serve it several ways - as is, over a baked potato, over nachos, over pasta...
