Hailee's Living Room Makeover Reveal
Hailee is one of my friends turned Bestie For Life (on account of practically living together the last 2.5 weeks…) She had just got new couches and asked if I would help her rearrange her furniture….that was the understatement of the century. And she sort of had no idea what she was getting herself into.
This is the before:
And the After:
And After:
And Before:
And After:
There are SO many awesome projects that I cant wait to share with you guys! Here are a few of my favorites:
Can anyone guess what is on that old yard sale dresser? It starts with a PVC and ends with Pipe.
The before on this lamp is crazy. I covered the shade in yarn and gave it an Ombre effect, which I am sort of obsessed with right now.
I also used an Ombre technique on the rug. Its hard to tell because it looks like the couch is making a shadow on it, but really the hounds tooth is fading in and then back out
One of my FAVORITE projects is the curtains. The rod is made out of rope and eyehooks. One end is tied in a fat knot and the other end is secured onto a rope cleat.
Did you notice that we built shelves in the open window in the wall? Huge holes like that can be such a waste of space. By filling it in with open shelving you still have the open feel but you can decorate! Holla!!
Ok here are a few more shots for you to enjoy:
We have some Hanging Basket Chandy's going on in the hallway to replace the boob lights.
Doing this room with Hailee and her amazing husband Mark was such an wonderful experience. It is EXACTLY what an Epic Room Makeover is supposed to be like. And believe it or not when I was driving home from Hailee's this afternoon after taking pictures I started to cry! I mean, we still have the rest of her house (shhh…don't tell Mark I said that) AND she lives right down the street; but I have developed such a great love for this family it made me sad that I wouldn't have an excuse to hang out with them everyday!
After doing the original Epic Room Makeover I learned a lot, after working with Hailee and Mark I don't feel overwhelmed and exhausted thinking about doing another one. So wait for the announcement in the spring cause an Epic Room Makeover might be coming to your house!

Patience, Persistence The Greatest Weapons Against Bullying
Published: Monday, March 17, 2014 at 12:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 17, 2014 at 12:45 a.m.
The Ledger is to be commended for its fine articles in its recent series on bullying. Nothing is as effective as a newspaper's front-page headlines to make people aware of any problem, and bullying is a real problem.
Yes, immediate measures need to be taken on all levels to prevent bullying. Parents need to be more vigilant, authorities need to dole out appropriate punishment and casual bystanders need to contribute by keeping quiet until all the facts are in, and not gossiping or embellishing the deeds of children.
Saying parents and guardians need to be punished or fined might have some effect in certain cases but generally it is not going to be beneficial to the overall problem.
Time is the real problem. Parents, or a one-parent family, hardly have time to evaluate their own behavior let alone a 3-year-old's whining, a 7-year-old's griping, and a teenager's bullying to generate some attention he or she is not getting.
Yes, tragedy can occur, especially with those so vulnerable, which gets back to parents and time, and the lack of education to equip children with the ammunition to understand another's behavior.
Too often, because of the wrong signals being given or because of religious teachings, the child puts too much stress on their behavior. Suicide, mass killings and psychotic behavior result.
As a nation, we need to begin now to educate and inform, developing our "knowing of ourselves" so that future generations will not fall into the same pitfalls.
When you know how special you are, bullying or succumbing to bullying effects will be nonexistent.
The awareness is there. The true understanding of how to handle the problem needs patience and persistence of effort.

This question is either about etymology or language generally, as names have this feature in other languages too, but I'm just curious how the practice of naming towns in proximity to bodies of water with a built-in reference to those bodies of water came about. Obviously it's not strange to me that a town on the Hudson would be called "-on-Hudson" etc., but what "determined" or at least influenced whether a town's name ended up having a reference to a body of water as well? It's not Chicago-on-Michigan or Philadelphia-on-Delaware, so why so many "-on-Hudson" towns?

So far as I'm aware, the normal reason for adding -on-[river] is the obvious one - to avoid confusion with another place of the same name which isn't on that particular river.
But I suppose sometimes -by/-on-sea, -in-the-moor, -in-the-dale, etc., might be used to publicise the local geography of a resort to encourage tourists, etc. It could well be that in the past, when people's water came from the river rather than the tap, naming a nearby river might also be helpful in attracting visitors/settlers.
Being British, I don't know any US place-names xxxx-on-Hudson, but I could believe that mentioning that mighty river adds a touch of kudos to some otherwise unremarkable places.
It's worth pointing out that by and large the name of a place is what the locals (and more specifically, their administrative bodies) choose to call it. Each town may have its own reasons for choosing their particular form of name, and it doesn't have to conform to any particular rules. Even granting that there might be any such rules in the first place.
One answer: It's easier to pronounce than "Weckquaesgeek"!
Better answer: There are many ways in which place names reflect the local geography, and that often includes references to bodies of water. Think of all the place names that include words like "brook," "river," "bay," "beach," "creek," "lake," "pool," "spring," and so on.
One obviously important factor in the name of a place is the origin of the people who settled that place. The earliest Europeans to explore and settle eastern New York were the Dutch, and many place names there end in "kill" (Catskill, Freshkills, Beaver Kill, Fishkill, West Kill...) which is apparently Dutch for stream or river. The ...-on-Hudson nomenclature sounds English, like Berwick-upon-Tweed or Stratford-upon-Avon, and indeed Hastings-on-Hudson was earlier called Hastings-upon-Hudson.
I don't think there's any particular characteristic that determines whether a village is named ...-on-Hudson, although it would seem necessary that the place actually be located along the Hudson river. It's just one of many ways that places use their name to distinguish themselves. Other places near Hastings-on-Hudson are Dobbs Ferry and Sleepy Hollow, so the river isn't the only feature that made its way into local names.
In Ontario it's common to see place names that end in Station, and for there to be something nearby that is the same name without Station. (An example near me is Myrtle and Myrtle Station, about a kilometre apart. Myrtle presumably came first and got its name however it did, and Myrtle Station would be the settlement at the train tracks, presumably after a stop was added.)
In the same way, there may have been a just plain Hastings - on a train line, a trail, a road or whatnot - and a companion town on the river where boats could stop. In that case, Hastings-on-Hudson seems like a fine way to distinguish the two. Whether it's true in that case or not I can't say, but it's an explanation.

I know, that voltage is analogous to pressure for charge, but analogies lie. I don't see charge pressing anything and I don't understand definition of $U=A/q$ (voltage = work/charge), cause I can't see what is that work.
Voltage in a circuit is determined by an accumulator. I suppose, that accumulator is characterized with voltage output and current output. I don't get how they are related, but can imaging some tweaks to the accumulator:
1) If I double the area of both metal plates, contacting with respective solutions, would it double the voltage output? Intuitively it will cause twice the amount of Ions bump into plates and give their charges to them, so it would double the current and won't change any "charge pressure", I can think of.
2) If I double the concentration of each solution, would it double the current or charge. My intuition that it is the same as if I doubled the area of plates - it would just double the amount of ions transferring their charge per moment of time. Nernst equation suggests a change of voltage in this case, but I can't see what it is.
What I want to understand, is what is voltage in terms of ball-like ions, forces and such intuitive entities. Thanks.

For some reason I cannot access my pouch. I'm about half way through the game, and for some reason the - button will not respond while I'm in game play. It's not the button/controller, the - works off screen when checking my gear. My son was viewing the pouch just before he noticed he could no longer use it. Did he disable something or is it a glitch? I can't use the shield or potions!
This happens if the Cursed Medal is in your adventure pouch. When in your pouch, the Cursed Medal increases the frequency of hearts and rupees, but it doesn't allow you to open, or equip items from, your adventure pouch.
The Cursed Medal gets in your pouch unexpectedly if you have an empty spot in your pouch when you receive the Medal from Batreaux. I had this happen to me.
To get it out of your pouch, you'll need to drop it at the item check, which is in the Skyloft Bazaar.

In Kunen's book, Set Theory,chapter I.7, he said: $1+\omega=\omega \neq \omega+1$. I want to know why $\omega \neq \omega+1$.
There is an easy way to see this. You need to apply the definition of ordinal addition:
So $\omega + 1$ has an element at the end that is not a successor of anything while $\omega$ does not.
On the other hand, $$1 + \omega = \{1\} \times \{0\} \cup \omega \times \{1\} = \{1 ^\prime, 0, 1, 2, \dots\} \cong \omega$$
so you see that addition doesn't commute.
There is some more information about this here on Wikipedia. Hope this helps.
I find pictures to help. The idea here is that $\omega$ is a limit ordinal and tacking on the ordinal $1$ after it is fundamentally different:
The picture for $\omega$ has a curved edge which indicates that it is a limit ordinal opposed to being a successor ordinal. When we tack on $1$ to the right of $\omega$ we have this ordinal $\omega+1$ that contains a limit ordinal which is not something that occurs in $\omega$. This means that $\omega$ and $\omega+1$ can't be isomorphic.
Can you use see why $1+\omega$ and $\omega+1$ aren't equal? Do you see why $1+\omega = \omega$?
$\omega + 1$ has a limit point (i.e. $\omega$ — using the von Neumann definition $\omega + 1 = \omega \cup \lbrace\omega\rbrace$) in the order topology while $\omega$ is discrete in the order topology.
Because the elements of $\omega$ are all finite, whereas $\omega + 1$ has one infinite element.

Assume, $M$ is a smooth manifold with a measure $\mu$ and let $L^2(M, \mu)$ be a space of all square-integrable functions on $M$.
Recall that $L$ is a hypoelliptic differential operator, if for every $f \in \mathcal{D}(L)$, if $Lf$ is in $C^\infty(M)$ then $f$ is also in $C^\infty(M)$.
Could anyone give a reference to the example when $L$ is hypoelliptic but its adjoint w.r.t to $\mu$ is not hypoelliptic? Could this happen to the Hormander operators, when $L$ is defined as $$ L = \sum_i X_i^2 + X_0 $$ and $\{X_i\}$'s are bracket generating?
I am mostly interested in the case when $\mu$ is induced by the Riemannian metric and $M$ is complete.

Hopefully, this hire will free up Kyle to spend more time with the defense as

line and corner-backs needing to be filled, Utah will have to work hard to get
back to defensive excellence.
Regardless of what "baggage" Dennis Erickson brings, he can only help. Some of the "baggage" Erickson had was undisciplined players at ASU. But since Erickson is not the head coach, that shouldn't be an issue.

Whittingham is taking a huge gamble in hiring someone with as much baggage as
Dennis Erickson.
Erickson brings a disturbing history with him. His Miami teams were constantly in trouble with police. No fewer than a dozen scholarship players were arrested in 1994, his final season there. Eleven months into Erickson's tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, the NCAA levied severe sanctions against Miami's football program, stripping 34 scholarships, placing the university on probation for three years, and banning the team from appearing in a bowl game.
If this blows up in Whittingham's face, he has only himself to blame.

"Regardless of what "baggage" Dennis Erickson brings, he can only help."
Undisciplined players are only the tip of iceberg as far as the off-the-field issues that plagued Erickson's six seasons in Miami. Gun play, unmentionable escapades, police raids, arrests, drug abuse, drinking, a federal grand jury probe, and cash bonuses to players who made the best hits in games served as the notorious backdrop to Miami's success on the field.
Erickson has a disturbing past that should be a red flag to any coach who runs a clean program.

I really like the idea of Erickson being given co-OC duties with BJ. At 66-yrs
of age, it's unlikely he'll remain with the Utes for an extended
period of time, and he hadn't really shown a lot of "tenured"
positions at many universities anyway. Mentoring BJ should provide some
fluidity for our offense if/when Erickson decides to retire, or take another
head coaching job somewhere else (like Chow).
As for all his baggage...I'm not too worried about it. For starters, Whittingham is the head coach; not Erickson. Secondly, even within just the Offensive side of the ball, BJ is still there, and he doesn't bring ANY "behavioral baggage" with HIM. Erickson would be able to mentor the longterm OC for the Utes, and provide an extra recruiting punch in the offseason.
Great hire Whit.

First off, as a UTE fan I'm getting sick and tired of other UTE fans who continue to judge us against BYU. We have a completely new standard to live up to now and in case anyone has noticed we are failing to achieve that standard. Leave BYU where they belong in the rearview mirror. I like the hire. Anytime you can get a guy with this wealth of experience it has to be a plus. I'm not to concerned about the baggage because he apparently didn't have any issues at ASU. Also not concerned about the win loss record at ASU because the Offense was never the problem. They always had explosive offenses in his time there.

For all the talk about the "liberal media" here, they were always going
to give Romney kudos for simply not running off the stage in tears.
Romney's supporters will say he won, Obama's will favor him, and not
much will change as far as where the election is headed. On the other hand,
Romney came across as rude and arrogant (smirking and talking over Jim Lehrer)
and also provided the Obama campaign with plenty of ammo (He admitted to the
world that he wants to turn Medicare into a voucher system.)
Romney may have had a good night that will fire up his base, but anybody wanting a game-changing moment isn't going to get it. And with two debates to go (three, if you count Biden/Ryan), this isn't remotely over.
You may now resume your gloating...

I never mark off the debates as to who won or lost because unless my guy makes a fool of himself I always think he./she won. But, I watch the Twitter, Facebook, other social media and the national media. It was universal that Romney not only won but dominated.
Does that mean he'll win the election? If he'd done poorly does it mean he lost the election? Either way, winning leads to winning and tonight helped Romney make his case directly to Americans without the media filters.

It was obvious that Romney understands the free market and how to create jobs. Obama has been working under the illusion that the government can do this. Only the possibility of profits will get people to hire people. A flat economy and over taxed businesses can not create the jobs on the volume this nation needs.

I thought Romney's discussion about how ObamaCare was shoved through
Congress without any bipartisan support was powerful. I have not seen much
discussion from the pundits about that theme. For all the media's
handwringing about "the people" wanting bi-partisan solutions to
problems, the media is noticably silent on that issue where Romney shined
tonight. "Trickle-down government" was an excellent theme as well.
Prior to the debate, Team Obama played down expectations and Obama still couldn't meet those low expectations. I guess he should prepare more for the debates and less on his golf swing.

'Romney scored major substantive hits on several occasions, including

Obamacare around the president's neck.'
Eric, you fail to mention that the $716 billion are a savings from cost reducing measures - fraud, waste, reduced payments to providers - and that there will be no reduction in benefits to Medicare recipients, as was mentioned by Obama. Romney had a lot of energy and was on his game, but how about dealing with the facts of the debate. You also fail mention the prescription drug cost savings that the 'shift' afforded to seniors. This too was mentioned by Obama.
Romney made an observation that reduced payments to providers may result in fewer doctors accepting Medicare patients. A good point for discussion. But let's not let the facts of the debate get in the way let's just talk about ' tying the $716 billion Medicare trust fund shift to Obamacare around the president's neck.'

Republican ideas originally. EVEN if they thought it was good for the country,
in and of itself, they would oppose a bill if Obama supported it. Politicking
at its worst, short of graft and fraud. And this Republican will not soon
forget or forgive it.
I will not condemn Obama for "not working with Republicans in congress." He tried, on several occasions. Obama is not Satan. He is just a Democrat. And some of his ideas and efforts have been good and praiseworthy.

Why is Obamacare needed to save costs? Why not implement "cost saving measures" such as "fruad, waste, reduce payment to providers" without the 2,700 pages of regulations - too much for even the Supreme Court to wade through?
Also, Obama's claim that he has identified 4 trillion in specific cuts seems a little too slick. Including counting 1 trillion from the winding down of two wars - reductions that would happen regardless.
Obama tried to run on Clinton's record, rather than his own.

Could not be happier with the performance tonight from the next POTUS.
Mitt controlled this debate and Obama's body language telegraphed his discomfort and irritation of this epic beat down.
Talk radio and the polls will be on fire on Thursday.

Before listening to the debate, I was going to vote against Obama because he has
failed to do the things he promised to do in 2008 that I wanted. Instead of
cutting the deficit, he increased it; instead of closing Gitmo, he refurbished
it; instead of repealing the Patriot Act, he extended it; instead of lowering
unemployment, it lingers at 8%; instead of prosperity, we have higher
After listening to Romney, I will be voting FOR Romney and not just against Obama. He seemed to understand how economics and business and leadership work. I love that he met every Monday with leaders from both parties to figure out solutions for his state. Pres. Obama can't even be bothered to sit in on his security briefings. Such a huge contrast in leadership, experience and skill set.
Having said that, I am looking forward to the VP debate. That Joe Biden is a hoot! You never know what's gonna come out of his mouth. He's like Obama's Life Insurance policy. We are all praying that nothing happen to Barack because that'll leave Joe in charge!

Reaching across the aisle and getting things done. I can do it. I have done it.
I will do it.
That is what I heard, first and foremost from Gov. Romney. He told how President Obama could reach out no farther than to Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to push through Obamacare.
Isn't it strange that President Obama has not been able to reach across anything to get Mr. Reid to pass a budget? Think about that! No aisle. No party difference. No ideological barrier. No need to compromise principle. Simply no reaching at all. Same party. Same love for America. Same need to come to our aid. And yet no budget.
And I still hear future president Romney, over there at that other podium, speaking from experience, saying, I can reach across. I've done it. It can be done. I'll do it.
Indeed, I can even in my mind's ear hear him proclaim: "I'm going to make it a point to unleash your Congressmen and Congresswomen, and let them shine and have favorable ratings in your eyes. They are your representatives. I'll work with them. We'll succeed.

Undecideds do not exist. You either believe in capitalism or socialism. Problem is that so many more of us are out of work, or disheartened from even looking, that we have become addicted to government support, and disillusioned into believing that socialism is the only hope to move forward.

Obama had nothing to defend, what's he's done (or failed to do) cannot be defended.when you've deceived America for four years, it's difficult to come out with a straight face and convince them your deceit was in fact truthful. And Obama has gotten a pass from the lackey press for four years--tonight, he got no pass, and he couldn't handle it. Now we know why Obama never has press conferences, he's a stumbling, fumbling, stuttering disaster when he has to actually defend his actions. November 6th can't come too soon.

When do you turn the heat on?
The nights have definitely been a bit chilly here in Jersey but I can't bring myself to crank up the furnace until we are into November. Grab a sweater.
Where are you guys located and when do you fire it up?
35 Answers answer
Our house hold heat. It may have been 45 outside when I went to bed but I turned on a fan for a few minutes because it was 78 in the house.
I wait as long as possible.
East Tennessee: I try to wait until Thanksgiving. The thing is, we have a heat pump, so turning it on early isn't that big of a deal.
I am much quicker to turn the AC on then the heat. I can NOT sleep in the heat, I need my bedroom freezing to sleep. So the heat I am not too quick to jump on, AC on the other hand....
South Florida
I haven't used the heat in years.
When it's too cold for the wife. I can last longer, but she's worth it!
When I'm cold.
Since I was a kid, my dad always says "November 1st" the heat goes on!
Wisconsin - Despite some low 30 degree mornings and mid 50s for high days already this season we haven't turned it on yet. It all depends on the season, but I'll refuse to turn it on in September and I'm hiesitant in October. I'd say once we have our first day where the highs won't jump out of the 40s I'll turn it on. And we have a Natural Gas heater, so turning it on requires the flip of a switch and changing the air return vents from from cold air to hot air.
When it's as cold in the house as it is outside. My house is pretty insulated, so I hope to hold off for awhile yet. I like it cool when I go to bed but I hate being cold in the morning.
@mkentosh: My dad said the same thing!
I try to wait until 11/1, but we're northeast of Boston, so sometimes it get turned on before 11/1, and sometimes it's later.
My desktop PC will keep the place warm enough until sometime in January.
North West IL along the Mississippi.
We "had" to turn it on one day so far a week or two ago -- it was mid-to-upper 30s and about 62 in house. There was frost warnings for the next day.
I set the heat to 65 just to knock the chill off. Shut it off mid morning the next day.
Haven't had to turn it on again despite it only being in the 40s the last few mornings.
Last year - my first year out of college - I was a bit lavish with the heat. I had previously lived 3 years with good, albeit stingy roommates, in upstate NY. Needless to say we tried to minimize our heating bill (one year I had to argue to put the heat up to 57. Seriously).
So being on my own and in an area (Seattle) where utilities are not nearly so expensive, I kept my heat at 68-70 from November to April last year. I am going to try to be more frugal this year, but I will turn the heat on as soon as my mornings turn out to be less than 64 degrees (shooting for keeping the heat @ 65 this year).
Montucky - about 20 mi. south of the CA border. We have already used the baseboards once, and the woodpile is growing steadily now. We'll start burning within the next 30 days for sure.
We are in the Chicago area. No specific date, just when we deem it "too cold." We are more likely to turn it on for just a bit in the morning, to take the chill off while everyone gets out of bed and gets ready for the day. We've done that once so far, and haven't had it on at night yet.
When the temp inside my house drops to about 65. Then, I'll put the heat on and set it for about 68. That's usually the range where using a blanket or wearing sweat pants suffices to be comfy/cozy in the house. We also have a gas fireplace in our living room, which we can usually just put on for a few minutes if we need to just take the "chill" out of the air.
But, no specific date when to put it on. The longer we don't need it, the better. We're in upstate NY.
Thanks to an almost humorously large collection of throws and whatnot, we're good here for a bit yet. Also the heated mattress pad (bought last year on the advice of deals community) is likely to take us pretty far into the winter at nighttime. :)
I've had mine on for the past three weeks. It's radiant floor heat so it doesn't turn on very often. I've got a dial system for each room with numbers on the dial ranging from 1 to 5 and I'll usually leave it set at 2.8-3.5 or so depending on how cold it is outside. Also, I'm supposed to open all the windows every day for about ten minutes or so and turn up the heat all the way all winter long. That's sooo not happening.
Had the windows open since yesterday evening. SO nice out down here in Houston.
No heat for a bit longer. Probably not much longer with the pregnant GF always being cold it will more than likely be on soon if she has her way. (and we all know she will)
I don't understand using a date for a temperature-related event. In Oklahoma (suuuuucks) we turn the heat on when it gets cold, and the A/C on when it gets hot. This means most of the year, A/C is on. There is a small period twice a year where both stay off. Then comes the period where the heat is on at night, the A/C during the day. Then a small period where it is heat only. Basing these periods on the calendar is 100% impossible, just a very rough outline at best. I can predict the A/C will be on in July and the heat in February though.
I normally don't turn the heat on until November. But this year will be the first year of living with the misses. I have a feeling that the heat will be on sooner. Have to keep her happy!
@luvche21: Ditto!!
We're in NY and still have a few windows open and temp sensor fans in others. When those stop turning on, we'll close windows, when my nose stays cold, the heat will go on.
Simply put, when it's cold. Regardless of what date it is.
I live on the top floor of my building, so it stays pretty warm. I've still got the windows cracked open even though our temperate range has been in the 40s at night and high 60s for daytime highs, and it stays around 70 in my place. I can tell some of my neighbors must be using heat, because I've noticed the temperate in my place rise between 7pm and midnight, even with the window cracked open.
I keep the house no cooler than 65 (the wife and kid complain below 67, truth be told) and no higher then 75 (at which point I start to grouse). Beyond that, there's no set date. it's a heat pump, so it does great at both things.
I'm always weirded out by people who proudly hold out on the air conditioning and/or heating. I mean, I guess you can be proud of it, but WHY?
@chronosquall14: I'm not proud of holding out on the heating -- it's about letting go of the warm weather and wallowing into winter.
In PA, the weather is so unpredictable I know some have turned their heat on already. I'll hold on to summer as long as I can!
@chronosquall14: Save money?
In months I don't use A/C, my electricity bill is $25 or less. If I used it every day for a month (which can get close to happening during the summer) my bill can get over $100.
I live in an area with a tiered electricity cost structure, which makes things REALLY expensive once you get over certain thresholds of use... I only have an apartment, but for people with houses who run central air all day (for example, if there's a stay at home wife), I've heard of bills hitting around $500 during the summer. I guess that's southern California for you....
Oh, and to answer the question, I'm not sure I'll turn on heat at all this year. Rarely a reason to. Though if it hits the 50's during the day or 40's at night, I probably will.
South Alabama - depends on how cold it gets and how early.
Last year I think it was mid October; year before not until Halloween.
I grew up in Michigan and now live in Texas.
I turn the heat on when I get to the point where it's just tooooo cold to get out of bed in the morning and the cats (who sleep on/by my feet when it's cold) give me this look like "Wait, you're getting up? Don't you know it's freezing cold and you need to stay in bed and huddle together so we can keep warm?". That's usually sometime around Christmas or New Years.
I am in PA, and I turn on the heat a soon as my arm gets tired from my wife punching me. Just kidding, sort of. We turn it on when the day time temps get in the 50's. We bundle up at night, so its not as bad.
@novastarj: I ws thinking cost and incovenience (more tha flipping a switch) were the major factors. I grew up in the Southern California high desert, and air conditioning was something that was run on the afternoons on Saturday because the cost is so prohibitive. I hear horror stories about the electric bills there now. Luckily, this heat pump I have now in Iowa keeps the cost very low, so even during a blazer like this year, we never beat $100 a month, and in winter it's about the same.
in college we moved into a house that had gas heat. we didn't know this moving in, and in an attempt to save money, we decided to just use space heaters (yes i realize space heaters run up your power bill, but this was at the height of the fuel problems in the early 2000's and heating gas was at an all time high). anyway, it was december or february when we hit a record low for our county (17 degrees) and i woke up and there was frost on my sheets where i had been breathing. i walked into the living room and my room mate had a space heater on each side of him and bundled up in a sleeping bag. thats when we decided to turn the heat on. now that i'm married and not poor, we typically turn the heat on around october or novermber
You guys send the Fall weather my way, please. It's still pretty humid with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Not quite sleep-with-the-windows-open weather quite yet.
Probably some time this month. Like others, I'll do it when I get cold(and the ball-and-chain will let me).
when it is below freezing

OGLESBY (November 4, 2010)—A mobile home near Oglesby was damaged by fire Thursday morning but firefighters say no one was injured.
The home located at 115 Knowles Rd. was said to be destroyed.
The homeowner was not at home at the time of the blaze but she did arrive at the scene just as firefighters were putting the fire out.
A fire chief at the scene told a News 10 reporter he had not determined the origin or cause of the fire and the fire crew was quickly called away to a grass fire in another part of the county.
He did say, however, the homeowner would be displaced because damage to the structure was severe.
There were two pets inside the home and firefighters were able to locate and rescue one of them but they could not find the other.

It is fairly well know when graphs can be embedded on various surfaces. Also, it is not hard to see that any graph can be embedded in 3-dimensional space. Has anyone ever studied the embeddability of graphs on various fractals? If so, are there any interesting results?
For example, I made some quick deductions about graphs on Sierpinski's Gasket. No graph that has vertices of degree greater than 4 can be embedded on Sierpinski's Gasket. Also, I conjecture that one can not embed $K_4$ into Sierpinski's Gasket either.
Also, one might ask questions like, "Is it true that one can embed any graph on any space with Hausdorff dimension that is greater than or equal to 3?"
These are just some curiosities that came to me and a friend of mine earlier today, and I am curious if the Math Overflow community knows anything about such things.

We have a REST API which clients routinely POST and PUT data to. When they do this, sometimes they POST data which results in no change on our system. The POSTs and PUTs are well-formed, but they data they're sending is identical to the data in our database. When this happens, I've just found out that we're returning a 400 HTTP status. Unfortunatly, this means "bad request" as in "request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax".
Clearly this is not the case, but I'm told that we're going to use this since there's no other appropriate status code. Choices we've considered:
- 304 Not Modified. This, regrettably, is only for GET requests.
- 204 No Content. Seems close, but forbids an entity-body.
Other choices seem equally bad. We might go with
200 OK and have the relevant information in the XML document we return, but this doesn't seem very "RESTish". How does the REST world generally handle this?
(Fixed Not Modified response code. Thanks Mkoeller)

I scanned a router and found that the community string is public. The write access is also enabled. Now I want to change the configuration of the router. Can anybody tell me about tools and tutorials by which I can know how to change the configuration? Thanks in advance.
Cisco SNMP Tool is a tool that allows you to:
Just make sure you have permission before doing anything on the router.
SNMP uses "Set" and "Get" against MIB (Management Information Base) values to change and view information on managed devices.
If you get the MIB tree for the vendor of the router you are looking at and then use an SNMP tool along with the credentials you should be able to change the configuration of the MIB values supported.
You need to provide us the manufacturer of the router before any specific help can be given.
The manufacturer's website should provide links and guides on how to do what you've asked.

The first George Berry was born in 1787 and, at the impressionable age of 16, made the two-day journey from Exeter to London, in which city he remained. He would become an extremely successful merchant, maintaining a clear focus on wine and spirits – a tradition continued by his sons George Jr. and Henry – the original "Berry Brothers" who took the helm in 1845.
Berry's young life was not without event. In 1838, he signed up as a special constable during the Chartist riots, alongside his friend, the future Napoleon III. Years later, whilst in exile in London, Napoleon used the very cellars at No. 3 to hold secret meetings. Two storeys below terra, the marvellous stone-walled chamber bears his name, and is home to a collection of ancient bottles from centuries ago, back when a member of the gentry would have his own glass bottle stamped with his seal. The sealed bottles would be taken to No.3 to be filled with wine or spirit, and returned when they were empty. Napoleon's own bottle still stands in one corner.

The SQLite FAQ states the following:
(12) I deleted a lot of data but the database file did not get any smaller. Is this a bug?
No. When you delete information from an SQLite database, the unused disk space is added to an internal "free-list" and is reused the next time you insert data. The disk space is not lost. But neither is it returned to the operating system.
Can you explain to me the motives behind that decision (as opposite to returning free space to the OS immediately)? What are the pros and cons of such decision (including non-obvious ones)?

This was posted as a deal a couple weeks ago at around $69, so this is a great price, that is, IF you can get free shipping.
The ONLY way I was able to get free shipping to come up for this item was by using my Red Card for payment. So if you have a Red Card, you will get 5% off AND free shipping.
Red Cards are free - so if you have a bank account, it's really easy enough to get one. My Red Card is a debit card that can only be used at Target. Why not for 5% off everything and other perks (like free shipping in this case). I don't even shop at Target that often - maybe once or twice a year.
If you don't have a Red Card, then shipping will be over $20. So if anyone finds a promo code that makes this item ship for free, please share. I tried several, but none worked.

How weird. Says not available in stores when I've seen this in stores (or maybe it was just in the stores for Christmas?). But I do believe it was $89.95 in the store.
@desynergy: Online items are returnable to target stores that then sell them at a reduced price. That may be what happened. That or it was sold in store at the time.
@slinger311: Really. Can you spammers please stay off of woot? Go bother fatwallet or something.
I noticed that this was sold out ("currently unavailable") on Target.com a day or so ago, and I meant to come here to expire the deal but forgot all about it - that is, until I just got the "new comment" email, which reminded me again.
I'm going to expire it now, but I believe anyone who views this will still be able to down-vote the spammer above.

You Frame It Canvas Photo Kit (3-pack) for $15.77 + shipping

I have a laser (black and white) printer, not inkjet. If I wanted to use this for a grayscale photo canvas, would it work, or do you NEED an inkjet? Gracias.
@angelsgirl2002: From what we've researched, laser printers are more suited for text than photos, and don't handle specialty papers as well as inkjets. The paper canvases the kit comes with are semi-textured sheets, so it may not transfer as well. We haven't tested it out ourselves, or had anyone else mention this before, so we really don't know for sure...we know it works great with inkjets!
Currently out of stock, but claims that new stock will arrive on 11/1.
@mrgrogg: We did run out! We are expecting our shipment this Thursday. You can still place an order - it just won't be shipped, and you won't be charged with this deal price until it does.

Ukulele Class Two
Blogging a CE class-second class of Ukulele Building
We arrived to class on Thursday ready to do some joining and bending. Half of the class started on cutting, measuring and bending the sides of our Ukes while the half began working joining the soundboards and the backs together.
Last week we found the best book-matched combinations and moving from there we first ran the edges of our boards through the planer to get them as evenly matched as the machine allowed. Next we used the sandpaper levels to get the sides perfectly straight.
After much testing and re-sanding it was time to move on to gluing the two pieces together. For the class we are using super glue and an activator to make it harden and dry quickly. The two pieces are laid out, roped together and glued.
Bending the sides
Moving on the sides, we measured and using the table saw, cut the sides to the proper shape. This involved clamping the sides to the a guide board to ensure the angle was true.
Now the nerve-wracking bit, bending sides to shape. The first part of this process was laying the heating blanket on the side bender (built by Frank) and the wet wood on top of that. While the wood heated and the molds were pressed slowly in to place we sprayed the wood down with water. When we got the wood clamped down completely it was left on the heat for 10 minutes.
Following ten minutes of heating and spraying with water, the sides were transferred into the molds to sit overnight and have their shape for good.
Next class we move on to cutting the soundboard and backs out.
Ukulele Class One
Thursday, October 3 was the first class of Ukulele building. After quick introductions and getting to meet the Instructor, Frank Irby, and Teaching Assistant Max Sipe, we got down to the business of ukes. Frank and Max showed us their own handcrafted ukes and Max's handmade inlays.
There are four sizes of ukuleles that are common: soprano (standard), concert, tenor, and baritone. In this class we will be building a tenor uke. Frank brought ukuleles of of all the sizes to see, hear and feel the differences. We talked about what made good instrument wood, including where it comes from, what makes the rings tighter and how the wood selected and harvested. Our ukuleles are being constructed out of Koa wood for the soundboard and body, mahogany for the necks and rosewood for the fret boards. We talked about how bracing effects sound, how we can create the best sounding uke and what you can do to add some personal style to your creation.
After learning about the power and hand tools we are going to use for the class (and the safety demo) we chose our bundles of body wood. They was an incredible variety in the looks of the bundles of koa, from reddish, marbled looking pieces to rich yellow.
We went over bookmatching and laid out our pieces for our soundboards and backs, finding the best looking combination and headed back to the shop to plane down our pieces to 3mm. Next class we start cutting out the body and moving forward.

PNCA BFA and CE instructor Kate Copeland is spending the fall in Vadodara, India, teaching workshops within the Graphic Arts Department through the Fulbright Program. Follow Kate's adventures on her tumblr.
Schedule Shifts
As we have every term, schedules change after the catalog goes to print. Here the changes for this term we made to accomodate the instructor's schedules.
Chair Prototype moves from Thursday nights to Monday nights beginning at 6:30 on September 30.
Ukulele Building makes the corresponding move from Monday to Thursday. Frank will be assisted by a professional Luthier for this class, effectively giving the class two instructors who are experts at Uke construction.
Textile Drawing, Design and Printing is now being held on Wednesday nights.
Also I wanted to highlight the second section of Beginning Drawing Perception Skills on Saturday mornings with the fantastic Jerry Sumpter.
Clay and Plaster Rooms
The plaster and clay rooms at PNCA are ready for students! Thanks Liz for getting us ready for the new school year.
These are two of Frank Irby's Ukuleles. In the class Ukulele Building, students will build a Baritone Uke with all of the basic supplies included.

Did you implemented Social Enterprise-like SharePoint projects? Do you have some guidelines/best practices regarding this topic? Thanks!!!
For general description have a look here :
Have a look at these presentations to get more details on social from SharePoint (2010 at least) perspective, from Optimus via Slideshare http://www.slideshare.net/ram_prabhala/intranet-trends-best-practices-2011 in intranet.
As well as this about ROI in Social media http://sharepointsocial.de/2012/03/23/en-the-social-media-roi-conversation/
Hope it helps, C:\Marius
There are also some great 3rd party tools if you have the budget for them. My company implemented Newsgator www.newsgator.com which sits on top of SharePoint and it has increased our cross-office collaboration 3-fold. SharePoint 2010 gives you a base platform but is still missing a lot from the social perspective.

quote: Swartz took his own life because the alternatives are intolerable
quote: youre the moron that cant see that suicide is a cowards way out.
quote: this screams 'woe is me' and emo crap of todays youth - suicide is someones own damn fault because you arent strong enough to live up to your choices.ALL of this avoided if he didnt post stuff he wasnt supposed to. 'tard.
quote: While Swartz had indeed compromised MIT's network and the JSTOR database, the Middlesex County district court decided that he wouldn't face jail time for his actions. The matter would have been closed and Swartz would have been "off the hook" so to speak, but United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz took up the case and things decidedly took a turn for the worse.Ortiz decided to hit Swartz with 13 felony charges that could have sent him to jail for up to 35 years. Swartz would also be on the hook for a $1 million fine for his actions. In a 2011 press release, Ortiz declared that, "Stealing is stealing whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data or dollars. It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell what you have stolen or give it away."With the U.S. Government breathing down his neck and with no outlet and no amicable resolution in sight to "humanely" resolve his legal woes, Swartz took his own life on January 11, 2013.After Swartz committed suicide, Ortiz acknowledged that, "There was no evidence against Mr. Swartz indicating that he committed his acts for personal gain" and that his conduct "did not warrant the severe punishments authorized by Congress."

He there!
You wrote in the blog post http://fifesoft.com/blog/?p=533
that you "want to emulate" Eclipse behavior, which is nice, then people do not have to "relearn" stuff
I want to use CodeCompletion and Templates at the same time, which works...
But I want to be able to separate them as Eclipse does.
ctrl+space: bring up the code completion
ctrl+space seconds time: show the templates
In this way it will be easier to distinguish between Code and Template Completion
I have a SQL Code Completion, and I also want to have Template Completion
But if they are both in the same window (at the same time) it's hard to find the templates because of *all* the table/view/procedures/etc names in there...
And many times I just want a Template, to start writing various SQL Constructs
Thanks for great work on this library

A certain computer virus can damage any file with probability 35%, independently of other files. Suppose this virus enters a folder containing 2400 files. Compute the probability that between 800 and 850 files get damaged.
I'm not interested in so much the exact answer as much as I am into how to solve this type of problem. We are working with Poisson distribution and standard deviation which I haven't even figured out how I can even apply to this problem, or if it's even the correct path towards the solution.

In Demon's Souls, do I get any advantage from carrying a shield on my back?
Also, do I get any bonuses from items equipped in my non-active equipment slot? For example, I have a sword and a shield equipped in my active equipment slot, and another alternate sword is equipped in my non-active equipment slot.

Chris Collyer
You have made a fantastic game. Gratz.
congrats from here - Well done
Definitely right. FM is one of my favourite things ever. I'm very much a laptop-holic, but not an internet-holic because I can last an extended period without it, mostly because of FM. May the legacy continue.
Well Done guys Long may Football Manager Continue
Congratulations guys, you deserve it.
Great to see all the hard work has been recognized.

Congratulations, Oliver Charles Collyer, MBE and Paul Edward Collyer, MBE. How does it feel?
Congratulations indeed. Well done.
Awesome news - congratulations guys!
Congratulations, very well deserved, I alone must have spent months of my life playing this game - my FM10 save is over 9 days of game time already, and I've been playing since CM2 - so I can only imagine how long the total number of game-hours is across the entire user base!
Well done chaps.
Not bad for what the magazines called a spreadsheet disguised as a game in the old reviews !
Thoroughly deserved though, Football Manager has come from what the games media used to view as an embarrassment played by football nerds to an iconic game and it has been some journey and achievement!
Does Paul get a bigger medal seeing as Ov went on holiday for a big part of it?
really? wow congrats
Congratulations! Totally deserved.
well its always a congrats , services to uk gaming <<< wow !!!!! i dont know why that should be recognised , in that case all brits who comes back from afghanistan should have a m.b.e when there issued again !!!!!! , gaming breathes lazyness which has a part in unemployment , there are plenty of 15 - 25 yr olds that are sidetracked by gaming , there are also alot who are obviously not
this is more about the state of the country , and gaming plays a part , in a small way
Well deserved and a big congratulations with a big hug
Superb Congratulations to you both!
Fantastic achievement for 2 guys just looking to make a realistic football sim.
Congratulations to the both of you, fully deserved

When is the patch out for the MBE version MBE.1
Congratulations to you both Ignore those who try to diminish the honour.
Well done guys great work!
I actually got a dry throat after reading this!
I mean, for people that are as obsessed with football as me Football Manager (and Championship Manager in the old days) has served as a wonderful place to express that obsession.
Hip hip hurray!
Congratz guys, well deserved!
Great news, well done lads.
Thoroughly deserved.
Well deserved.
How many days of my life have gone on this game since I bought CM 96/97 all those years ago...
Congratulations, well deserved!
As you can imagine, Ov & Paul are somewhat overwhelmed with the response, so I'd like to thank you all for your lovely comments on their behalf - I would have done it sooner, but my net connection is down from home (you cannot believe what I went through last night to get the announcement up here!) so I've come into the studio to respond
A few others from the industry have got awards over the years - Peter Molyneaux (Bullfrog/Lionhead), the Darling Brothers (Codemasters) and some from publishers.
well done congratulations on your mbe's and for recognizing your hardwork
Fantastic - and well deserved. For the gameplay you have offered the world in the Championship Manager and Football Manager Series it is long, long overdue. Well Done Guys
Congratulations guys!
Is it true that they were due an mbe 2 years ago but they had that date put back a bit a la fml style?
Seriously, well done lads, in the days of death for many industries in the uk you two have been big players in uk games development.
Congratulations guys.
Thoroughly deserved, congratulations
Nice one lads. Well deserved for sure. You have created many a tactical genius around the world.
Completley deserved, well done guys
Many congratulations guys!!!
I've had many years of enjoyment playing this game, long may it continue!
Many congrats, chaps!
Many congratulations! I have enjoyed CM/FM since CM01/02!
********! I thought it was me this year Just Kidding.
Congratulations to both of you. What a way to see the New Year in!! From everyone in the almost dead Papin GW CONGRATS!!
I had no idea about this until I read this thread. What can I say apart from congratulations, it is very well deserved and I would never had as much fun gaming if it were not for you two. I hope you have a fantastic 2010 and enjoy the day with her majesty.
It great that they have been given recognition as they have probably given most of us a good few day/months playing this game, with each version
So congrats to both of you .
Only just noticed this, well done Paul-liver, Queenie obviously a fan, I hear she plays LLM but checks the Good Player Forum, someone have a word!!
Just read about this on the BBC Tech website, congrats Ov & Paul
wow first Patrick Stewart and now you guys...
I believe its the first time ive agreed with the honours list in years..... congrats chaps, couldnt have happened to a more deserving pair
Congratulations to you both.
Will the Credits screen be updated in the next patch?
Will the MBE be wearable out of the box?
Seriously though nice one guys!
Title should be M.B.E.s, should it not? They aren't belonging to a Member of the British Empire.
Alternatively, "Paul and Oliver Collyer are M.B.E.s", "The M.B.E.s of Oliver and Paul Collyer", "Paul and Oliver Collyer's M.B.E.s".
Can't get the grammatically correct titles these days And yeah, at least one of my suggestions is probably flawed.
Great news
Well done to both
Change your forum names!
Cracking way to end any year
Very much deserved, biggest congratulations!
congratulations to the two of you! very well deserved!
Congratulations guys!!
credit where credit is due.....
Congrats for the thrill you have given!
Congratulations to you both guys.Please make me beta tester
Congratulations guys
I guess it was a matter of either kicking them out of the country for ruining so many people's lives (especially our academic performance and our sentimental relationships) or giving them this award for giving us countless hours of fun and enjoyment for years.
I'm glad they chose the latter
Congratulations guys, I guess everything's too surprising right now, but in some days time you'll probably realize it's amazing how far you've come by achieving this. And I believe you truly deserve it.
I don't even want to imagine what kind of new year's eve party you're gonna have tonight
Well done lads!
Do you think when you pick up the medals you can ask her what her favourite formation is? And has she edited Old Phil into the game?
Hearty congrats!
Brilliant. This is just what the honours list should be for. Congratulations to you both.
Now for the Knighthood
many congratualtions, hard to believe i've spent nearly 20yrs of my life playing the games you guys are involved in - well deserved!
Congratulations. Best game(s) ever.
We may see a lot of moaning on the board but that's only 'cause people feel compelled to come on and say so when something goes wrong. It doesn't stop it being the best game of all time.
Great stuff. Well done again.
awesome news. congratulations lads
Congratulations to both. Well deserved considering the joy CM and FM has brought me over the last few years.
Congratulations. Really deserved for making such a great series of games
well deserved
That is wonderful news and very much well deserved. Congratulations to Paul & Oliver, this news has made me really happy. Well done to you both!
Congrats from Sweden, most well deserved!
Congratulations but most of all I would like to say thanks lads for creating a large part of my life. Much thanks
Congratulations for the MBE's, thank you for the games and damn you both for the hours I've played .
Well done to you both, its a bout time everton fans had something to celebrate
Congrats guys! Well deserved

Menacing Dark Souls II TV spot foretells the trials aheadWritten by: / / 2 Comments
Few games released during the last console generation have managed to create a fantasy realm as simultaneously oppressive and inviting as the world of Dark Souls. The sequel to this celebrated action RPG is out next week and Dark Souls II's publisher Namco Bandai recently aired a new TV spot in Japan featuring some brand new snippets from what is potentially the game's opening cutscene.
Check it out below:
Dark Souls II will be released next week on March 11th in the US and March 14th in European territories for PS3 and Xbox 360, with a PC version arriving at a later date. Head over here for El33tonline's previous coverage of this third entry in the hugely influential 'Souls' series.

Hugh 'Bud' Dunlavey 60-year Warren resident; portrait artist and avid sportsman
Bud was born on April 22, 1921, in Erie, Pa., the son of Edward and Ethel Dunlavey. He was an artist, avid sportsman and horseback rider. His passions in life were his artwork, horses, outdoor life, and most importantly, his two grandchildren, Doug and Katie.
After serving in the Army Air Corps, stationed in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, as a high speed radio operator during World War II, Bud returned for a short time to Erie. He met Mary Baldwin, moved to Connecticut, married, and then pursued a career in portrait art. Moving his family to Daytona Beach, Fla., he opened his art studio. Eventually the family returned to Connecticut where Bud became a draftsman for many years at Aerotherm in Bantam.
Bud, the avid sportsman, opened Sports Traders in Torrington from the mid 1960s to the late 1970s before returning to his artwork. Bud's last showing was held at the Kent Art Association Gallery on his 90th birthday. Bud was a longtime member of the Warren Volunteer Fire Company. His greatest joys in life were his time spent hunting, fishing, his artwork, and especially spending time with his family and friends.
Bud's family would like to thank the nursing staff and physicians at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital and the nurses, patient-care assistants, and physical therapist at Torrington Health and Rehab for their special care and attention over the last several weeks. The family would also like to thank John Delayo, a close family friend for more than 30 years, for his constant support and friendship.
Bud is survived by son Jeffrey Dunlavey of Torrington; daughter Susan Rhorer McMahon and husband, Mike McMahon, of Houston, Texas; son Jonathan Dunlavey and friend, Penny Murphy, of Warren; grandson Douglas Rhorer of New Orleans, La.; and granddaughter Katie Rhorer Cronin and husband, Dan Cronin, of Albany, N.Y. Bud was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Baldwin Dunlavey, his son, Douglas Edward Dunlavey, and his son-in-law, James Edward Rhorer.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, Aug. 31, 2013, at Warren Congregational Church at 11 a.m. Burial will follow in Warren Cemetery. The family would like to invite all in attendance to join them for a short reception in the Warren Church Fellowship Hall following the burial. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Rowe Funeral Home, 283 Torrington Road, Litchfield.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations in Bud's name be made to the Visiting Nurses Association Northwest or the Warren Volunteer Fire Company.
To send an online condolence to the Dunlavey family, kindly visit www.rowefuneralhome.net.

Bill, Nick -- do you guys have something in mind to help the compatibility of small neck fisheye adapter lenses like the FC-e8 and the $49.95 IPIX one that I have and others have?
It's the dark half moon problem where the tilt axis of the upper arm protrudes into the field of view of a full circle image.
Like this --
Maybe something like a Bophoto thing that attaches to the upper arm horizontally and sticks out a few extra inches.

It isn't the Kentucky Derby or Derby Week, but it's the next best sports thing for Louisville: Part of the NCAA basketball tournament — including the Kentucky Wildcats — and possibly Western Kentucky's Hilltoppers and Murray State's Racers, the darlings of Dick Vitale and fans of the smaller schools.
Kentucky, top seed in the entire tournament, and its horde of followers will show up in Louisville for the Wildcats' 6:50 p.m. Thursday game against the winner of a Tuesday play-in game between Western Kentucky and Miss. Valley State. Sean Woods, a member of UK's Unforgetables, coaches Miss. Valley.
Coach Rick Pitino's Louisville Cardinals, surprise champions of the Big East Conference Tournament, also are in the NCAA and will play Davidson at 1:40 p.m. Thursday in Phoenix.
All on TV
Every tournament game will be on one of four networks. Check your TV listings each day.
Louisville's portion of the NCAA could be called the "Jim Host NCAA Tournament" because we wouldn't have it without him.
Jim, of course, ram-rodded the building of KFC YUM! Center as chairman of the Arena committee, and has been a close associate of the NCAA for years.
Fittingly, the NCAA visit to Louisville follows by one week when Host learned that he will be inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in Kansas City, Mo.
The KFC YUM! Center's Ohio Riverside location was selected to liven up downtown Louisville — and has it ever!
YUM! is the home of UofL's men's and women's basketball teams.
Won title in state!
The NCAA and the University of Kentucky have historically been good to each other, but never more than when Adolph Rupp's Wildcats won the national championship in 1958 without leaving the state of Kentucky!
Not as many teams were selected for the NCAA Tournament then and Rupp won his fourth national title by beating Miami of Ohio 94-70 and Notre Dame 89-56 in the Mideast Regional in Memorial Coliseum on the UK campus and then clinched the national championship at Freedom Hall in Louisville by defeating Temple 61-60 and Seattle 84-72.
It was all-Kentucky all the way!
Kentucky has been host to seven finals, six times at Louisville's Freedom Hall and once at Lexington's Rupp Arena.

It looks like it's only a matter of time before severe weather hits our area.
The sound of emergency sirens is something emergency management says you should be listening for. Because the storm is likely to hit our area in the early morning hours, you cannot rely on seeing visible warning signs. Emergency management urges you be alert and listen for warnings.
"In our community, we have outdoor warning sirens we will activate. We have indoor warning systems we'll activate for everyone to be aware, but for the personal individual, I recommend they buy a weather radio... pay attention to what's going on in the media, and the time frames expected," said Warren County Emergency Management Director Ronnie Pearson.
If you don't have a storm shelter nearby, stay in the lowest and most central part of your home or find a friend with a basement.
Alvaton has two emergency shelters, one at the Alvaton Fire Station 1 on Old Scottsville Rd. and one at Station 3 on JFS Circle.
Pearson recommends keeping a disaster kit, medications, food, and water near you, and anything you may need if you have to leave your home, or become trapped.

To a Mountain in Tibet (Paperback)
Colin Thubron's To a Mountain in Tibet is a memoir of discovery and loss, chronicling the author's journey to the holiest mountain on earth, the solitary peak of Kailas in modern-day Tibet. To Buddhists and Hindus, it is the mystic heart of the world and an ancient site of pilgrimage. It has never been climbed.
Thubron undertakes this journey in the wake of his mother's death, using the pilgrimage as a lens to examine both his deeply felt loss and his lifelong need for solitude, which has shaped his career as a writerone who travels to places far outside his own history and culture. A vivid and powerful travelogue through an evocative landscape, To a Mountain in Tibet provides a fascinating encounter with the mythic and spiritual traditions of a foreign cultureencapsulated in the wondrous insights of an intimate personal voyage.

Praise For…
"Thubron walks for the dead and writes for the living, and I can't remember when I have been so thoroughly and deeply moved by an author's outward journey."
-Bob Shacochis, Boston Globe
"One of the greatest contemporary travel writers. . . . As he guides us along these braiding trails, Thubron's moving evocation makes for an unforgettably enlightening journey."
-National Geographic Traveler "Book of the Month"
"A powerful and hauntingly elegiac hybrid of travelogue and memoir"
-Kirkus Reviews
"Engrossing and affecting…poignant evocations of his mother and sister, interwoven with his profound respect for the Tibetan culture and landscape, make Thubron's memoir an utterly moving read."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The journey is the reward, for both writer and reader, in this rich, beautiful account of the landscape, people, culture, and politics of Tibet."
-Booklist (starred review)
"Thubron has, as always, thoroughly researched his subject, so his descriptions of shadowy Buddhist shrines and wildly various religious supplicants are interspersed with eloquent accounts of Tibet's place in the imaginings of the West..."
-New York Times Book Review
"Thubron has spent four decades writing in forceful and respectful ways of foreign lands, and To a Mountain in Tibet is no exception."
-Wall Street Journal
"Like the works of Bruce Chatwin and Paul Theroux, Thubron's gorgeous, evocative writing transcends the genre and reads like great literature."
-Carmela Ciuraru, Readymade.com
"More meditative than his sweeping Shadow of the Silk Road. . . . Walking with Thubron up the sacred mountain, strenuous as it is at times, is well worth the effort."
-Philadelphia Inquirer
"With great elegiac precision…Thubron adroitly navigates the difficult line between an emotive personal memoir…and a vivid description of one of the most spectacular mountain journeys…"
-Times Literary Supplement (London)
"[Thubron has] been called one of the world's greatest living travel writers. Few will doubt it, after they accompany him on this search for earthly sanctity."
-Christian Science Monitor
"Thubron's descriptive writing is as dazzling as the scenery. His scholarship on the area's religious and political history is enthralling."
-Financial Times
"One of the greats of contemporary travel writing . . . Thubron's transcendent prose places the reader directly on the path to Kailas, culminating with the final glimpse of the sacred site."
-Seattle Times
"A masterpiece of travel writing..."
-Hugh Thomas, Telegraph
"Not only the most revealing book he has ever published but also the most profound. . . . The telling . . . is masterly, with that sharp poetic eye for detail that is Thubron at his best."
-Charles Allen, Spectator
"Thubron is a versatile painter of place…an expert guide for the region's complex topography…He is refreshingly clear and unintimidated…"
-Los Angeles Times

Top 10 Home Maintenance Projects for Spring
2 of 11
Clean the Gutters
Clean debris out of your gutters and inspect them for any signs of sagging or damage from winter ice. Check for proper drainage – water that lingers in the gutters makes for mosquito breeding. Make sure there's no corrosion, joint separation, or loose fasteners, and give the fascia a quick check, as well. Flush out the downspouts and leaders. If you have wood gutters, oil the inside after clearing out the debris.
While you're up on the ladder, make sure that no birds, squirrels, or insects are nesting in the eaves or on the ledges.
