About Kevin
Kevin Powell is widely considered one of America's most important voices in these early years of the 21st century. Legendary feminist Gloria Steinem asserts that "as a charismatic speaker, leader, and a very good writer, Kevin Powell has the courage...to be fully human, and this will bring the deepest revolution of all." Internationally acclaimed scholar and social critic Dr. Michael Eric Dyson has called Powell "a mighty wind of fresh air." And of Kevin Powell, the writer asha bandele says, "When you consider the intelligence and breadth of Kevin Powell's writing and activism, you come to the conclusion that there may be no better spokesperson and representative for a generation that has too long been counted out."
Kevin Powell is a political activist, poet, journalist, essayist, hiphop historian, public speaker, and entrepreneur. A product of extreme poverty, welfare, fatherlessness, and a single mother-led household, he is a native of Jersey City, New Jersey and was educated at New Jersey's Rutgers University. Kevin Powell is a longtime resident of Brooklyn, New York, and it is from his base in New York City that Powell has published seven books, including his current title,
Someday We'll All Be Free
(Soft Skull Press). This new book is a collection of provocative essays on freedom, democracy, justice, and race in America, as inspired by Hurricane Katrina, the 2004 presidential election, and September 11th. Powell is set to publish two books in 2008,
No Sleep Till Brooklyn
, his second volume of poetry; and
The Black Male Handbook: A Blueprint for Life
. Additionally, Powell is at work on his childhood memoir,
homeboy alone
, slated for 2010, and
The Kevin Powell Anthology
(2011), which will highlight the first twenty-five years of his literary career. Indeed, he has written numerous essays, articles, and reviews through the years for publications such as
Esquire, Newsweek, The
Washington Post
, Essence, Rolling Stone, The Amsterdam News
, and
, where he was a founding staff member and served as a senior writer, interviewing and profiling, among many others, General
Colin Powell
and the late Tupac Shakur. Most recently Powell has been a Writing Fellow for the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, as well as a Phelps Stokes Fund Senior Fellow. And Powell is currently a 2008 Democratic candidate for the United State Congress in Brooklyn, New York (www.kevinpowellforcongress.org).
A gifted and highly sought after public speaker, Powell has lectured on multiculturalism, building corporate responsibility, American and Black American history, the life of Dr. King, civil rights, American politics and civic engagement, sexism from a male
, leadership, social activism,
the state
of hiphop, redefining American manhood, and being Black and male in America, among other topics, at hundreds of colleges and universities, community centers, prisons, religious institutions, conferences, and festivals, as well as in corporate settings. Furthermore, Kevin Powell routinely offers his insights on a variety of matters, to TV, radio, newspaper, magazine, and internet outlets in America, and abroad.
A fixture on the pop culture landscape the past several years, Powell was a cast member on the first season of MTV's
The Real World
; hosted and produced programming for HBO and BET; written a screenplay; hosted and wrote an award-winning MTV documentary about post-riot Los Angeles; and was the Guest Curator of the Brooklyn Museum of Art's "Hip-Hop Nation: Roots, Rhymes, and Rage"—which originated at
the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, and of which Powell was the exhibition consultant—the first major exhibit in America on the history of hiphop.
Of paramount importance to Kevin Powell, however, is his activism. He has been a leader in some form or fashion for over twenty years, dating back to his days as a teenager at Rutgers University. He was a participant in the student-led anti-apartheid movement, the drive to end racism in South Africa. He has been at the forefront of police brutality and racial bias cases. He has worked for years around voting rights. Powell is one of the most prominent voices in the hiphop generation, and he has organized a number of concerts, mc battles, rallies, and forums that stress the use of hiphop as a
for social change. As a result of his own past personal struggles, contradictions, growth, and a commitment to therapy and healing, Kevin has become a very outspoken critic of violence against women and girls, of violence in general, and he has been at the forefront of the movement to redefine American manhood away from sexism and violence. Powell also plays a key role in the Black male development arena, having produced, the past few years, among other things, a 10-city State of Black Men Tour, numerous Black male think tank sessions, and Black and Male in America, a 3-Day national conference (
). Powell has taught, mentored, and counseled in schools, camps, prisons, and on the streets of urban America. He produces an annual holiday party and clothing drive every December in New York City that benefits the needy. And Powell was a central figure in Gulf Coast disaster relief efforts, facilitating the delivery of goods and services to the affected regions, and being a cofounder of "Katrina on the Ground," an initiative that sent over 700 college students to work in the devastated region.
Of his life work Kevin Powell says, simply, "My life-calling is to be a servant for the people, period. Money, fame, status, personal achievements, and all that means very little to me when pain and suffering are still real on this planet. I am interested in the powerless becoming powerful."

Trial set for ex-teacher in sexting case
Published 12:37 pm, Saturday, April 6, 2013
NEW LONDON -- A former Catholic school teacher accused of sexting with a 14-year-old student is scheduled to go on trial later this month.
Jury selection is underway in the trial of 31-year-old Robert Pfeiffer scheduled for April 22. The Day of New London (http://bit.ly/ZEWmI3 ) reports Saturday that the former Academy of the Holy Family history teacher turned down an undisclosed plea agreement and will go to trial.
Authorities say Pfeiffer resigned from the Sprague school in 2010 after friends of the girl saw the messages and threatened to report him. The Hebron man has been free on bail since his arrest last April.

DEFIANCE A Defiance County Sheriff s dog, which was trained in drug detection, search and recovery, and aggression, was struck by a car and killed instantly in a hit-and-run incident in southeastern Defiance County yesterday afternoon.
Rowdy, a German shepherd, was about 6 1/2 years old and was part of the sheriff s crew for about five years.
He was hit shortly after 4 p.m. on Harris Road just south of Hoffman Road in Highland Township in the far southeast corner of Defiance County, where he lived with his handler, Deputy Aaron Giesige.
Rowdy had run onto the road into the path of a light blue car that was northbound on Harris Road. The driver did not stop, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol s Defiance post, which is investigating.
A spokesman for the sheriff s department said today that Rowdy was outside Deputy Giesige s home being attended to by a family member when he chased an animal onto the road and was killed.
Rowdy s death leaves Sheriff David Westrick with one German Shepherd, a dog named Malek, who is about 2 years old and has been with the office less than a year.

AT&T to pay $1.9 billion for Verizon spectrum
By Sinead Carew
NEW YORK (Reuters) - AT&T Inc (T.N: Quote) has inked two deals worth more than $2.68 billion this week as it accelerates its push to expand its wireless spectrum holdings to beef up capacity for high-speed services.
The No 2. U.S. mobile provider said on Friday that it agreed to buy wireless airwaves from Verizon Wireless for $1.9 billion in cash, plus spectrum licenses that it will contribute to Verizon Wireless in five markets.
The Verizon Wireless deal was announced just days after AT&T said it will pay $780 million in cash to buy Atlantic Tele-Network Inc's ATNI.O Alltel wireless business, which includes spectrum and 585,000 customers.
These deals follow 2012, a year in which the company forged a total of 50 spectrum deals that increased its national spectrum holdings by a third, AT&T Chief Executive Randall Stephenson said during the company's quarterly conference call on Thursday.
The operator, which needs to catch up with Verizon Wireless in a high-speed wireless network upgrade, has been seeking smaller spectrum deals since the failure in late 2011 of its $39 billion bid to buy T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG (DTEGn.DE: Quote), due to regulatory opposition.
AT&T, Verizon Wireless and their smaller rivals are all looking to bolster their capacity so they can profit from increasing consumer demand for mobile internet services for smartphones, tablet computers and other devices.
Wells Fargo analyst Jennifer Fritzsche said that the deal was positive for both companies and gives AT&T spectrum in important markets such as Chicago, Los Angeles and Miami.
"While on the surface this appears to be a rich price, we would note that the B block licenses that AT&T is acquiring are concentrated in major metropolitan markets," Fritzsche said. Continued...

Does anyone have a TAT suit where the LINING makes alot of noise when you move around?
It's kind of hard to describe but you know when you wear a windbreaker and you rub your arms together and it makes a funny swishy sound, that's what my TAT jacket sounds a bit like when I move my arms. I don't like that.
I tried on a Jacket before at a department store that did that where the lining made that swishy noise and I was like oh wow, I would never buy that jacket. None of my other suits make this noise but the TAT does.
Any thoughts??

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Between 1987 and January 1995, Gregory L. Bowen was associated with four broker-dealers, including a stint with Government Securities Corporation ("GSC") from July 1987 to December 8, 1997, at which date the firm's Uniform Request for Broker-Dealer Withdrawal ("Form BDW") was deemed effective. Since 1999, Bowen has worked for various mortgage firms as a mortgage broker; and he currently conducts a mortgage origination business.
1999 SEC Bar
On October 27, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings that resulted in Bowen's Bar from association with any broker or dealer, with the right to reapply for association after two years. Bowen was further ordered to pay a $33,664 disgorgement, $31,258 in interest, and a $5,000 civil penalty. ("1999 Bar Order").
The SEC had alleged that while employed with GSC from March 1989 through March 1994, Bowen willfully violated Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, by misrepresenting and omitting material information in his communications with clients in order to induce them to purchase high-risk collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"). See Exchange Act Release No. 42063 (Oct. 27, 1999). As a result of the 1999 Bar Order, Bowen was deemed statutorily disqualified under Section 3(a)(39)(B) of the Exchange Act.
SIDE BAR: Section 3(a)(39)(B) of the Exchange Act:
(39) A person is subject to a "statutory disqualification" with respect to membership or participation in, or association with a member of, a self-regulatory organization, if such person—
. . .
(B) is subject to—
(i) an order of the Commission, other appropriate regulatory agency, or foreign financial regulatory authority—
(I) denying, suspending for a period not exceeding 12 months, or revoking his registration as a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, government securities broker, government securities dealer, security-based swap dealer, or major security-based swap participant or limiting his activities as a foreign person performing a function substantially equivalent to any of the above; or
(II) barring or suspending for a period not exceeding 12 months his being associated with a broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, government securities broker, government securities dealer, security-based swap dealer, major security-based swap participant, or foreign person performing a function substantially equivalent to any of the above;
(ii) an order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission denying, suspending, or revoking his registration under the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1 et seq.); or
(iii) an order by a foreign financial regulatory authority denying, suspending, or revoking the person's authority to engage in transactions in contracts of sale of a commodity for future delivery or other instruments traded on or subject to the rules of a contract market, board of trade, or foreign equivalent thereof; . . .
FINRA Application
In response to and following its consideration of the submission of a Membership Continuance Application (the "MC-400") concerning Bowen from First Liberties Financial, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") filed a notice containing an application ("Application") with the SEC seeking consent for Bowen to associate with First Liberties as a general securities representative. In the Application, FINRA and First Liberties represented that non-registered person Bowen would be employed as a general securities representative on the firm's institutional sales desk and compensated on a commission basis.
SIDE BAR: First Liberties, a FINRA member firm since 1983, services retail and institutional customers through its New York City home office and seven branches, where it employs 34 registered representatives and 13 registered principals.
In submitting its request to FINRA for permission to register Bowen, First Liberties proposed that:
- William Hoover, Senior Managing Director based in the Houston, TX branch office, will be Bowen's direct supervisor. Hoover has been registered as a general securities representative since 1987, and as a general securities principal since March 1996.
- In the event of Hoover's unavailability, Hilary Bergman, First Liberties President based in the NYC home office and a registered principal since 1991, will assume the role of backup supervisor.
In the Application, FINRA sought an order declaring that, notwithstanding Bowen's statutory disqualification, the SEC would not:
- institute proceedings pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 19(h) of the Exchange Act, solely on the basis of Bowen's association as a general securities representative with First Liberties pursuant to the representations contained in the Application; and
- direct FINRA to bar the proposed association, as provided in Section 15A(g)(2) of the Exchange Act.
18-Point Plan
In seeking to ensure the SEC that First Liberties was prepared to meaningfully supervise Bowen's proposed activities, the Application represented, among other things, that:
- First Liberties will amend its written supervisory procedures to state that Hoover is the primary supervisor responsible for Bowen;
- Bowen will not maintain discretionary accounts;
- Bowen will not act in a supervisory or principal capacity;
- Bowen will not conduct retail business or be involved with any retail clients;
- Hoover will supervise Bowen on-site at the firm's Houston, TX branch office;
- Bowen will only be permitted to transact business with institutional accounts and other FINRA member firms (with whom First Liberties has a dealer-to-dealer relationship);
- Bowen will not be permitted to contact any public fund prospective account or to transact business with any public fund prospective account;
- Bowen will not be permitted to transact business in Interest-Only Strips ("IOs"), Inverse IOs, and Inverse Floaters;
- Any transaction by Bowen in CMOs must be reviewed and approved by Hoover. Hoover must document the basis for his decisions regarding the transaction, including documenting the account paperwork with the date and his signature. Hoover will maintain copies of the paperwork and keep them segregated for ease of review during any statutory disqualification or other examination or regulatory inquiry;
- Hoover will review and approve each institutional account prior to Bowen's opening the account. Hoover will document the account paperwork as approved, with the date and his signature, and maintain the paperwork at the firm's home office. Hoover will maintain copies of the paperwork and keep them segregated for ease of review during any statutory disqualification audit;
- Hoover will review and approve Bowen's orders after execution, on a "T + 1" basis. Hoover will evidence his review by initialing the trade reports; and Hoover will maintain copies of the trade reports and keep them segregated for ease of review;
- Bowen will not be permitted to engage in outside securities-related sales activities. Bowen will be permitted to continue his mortgage origination business, as long as he fully discloses it to Hoover as an outside business activity and does not engage in any outside securities-related sales or business activities;
- Hoover will review Bowen's incoming written correspondence (including email communications) immediately upon their arrival and prior to Bowen's receipt; Hoover will also review and approve Bowen's outgoing correspondence before they are sent;
- For the purposes of client communication, Bowen will only be allowed to use an email account that is held at the firm, with all emails being filtered through the firm's email system. If Bowen receives a securities-related email message in another email account outside the firm, he will immediately deliver that message to the firm's email account. Bowen will also inform the firm of all outside email accounts that he maintains. Hoover will conduct a weekly review of all email messages that are either sent to or received by Bowen. Hoover will maintain the emails and keep them segregated for ease of review during any statutory disqualification audit;
- All complaints pertaining to Bowen, whether verbal or written, will be immediately referred to the firm's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"), or his designee. The firm's compliance department will prepare a memorandum to the file as to what measures were taken to investigate the merits of the complaint and the resolution of the matter, and will maintain documents pertaining to these complaints and keep them segregated for ease of review. The CCO will make Hoover aware of any and all complaints filed against Bowen;
- If Hoover is on vacation or out of the office, Bergman will act as Bowen's interim supervisor;
- For the duration of Bowen's statutory disqualification, the firm must obtain prior approval from FINRA's Member Regulation if it wishes to change Bowen's responsible supervisor from Hoover to another person; and
- Hoover must certify quarterly (March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st of each year) to the Firm's compliance department that he and Bowen are in compliance with all of the above conditions of heightened supervision to be imposed upon Bowen.
The SEC Division of Trading and Markets (the "Division") reviewed the Application and the record before FINRA, and the Division concluded that it was appropriate for the SEC to approve the Application, which was so approved. In the Matter of the Application of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. For An Order Granting the Approval of Gregory L. Bowen As A General Securities Representative With First Liberties Financial (ORDER APPROVING APPLICATION FOR RELIEF FROM A STATUTORY DISQUALIFICATION, Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rel. #68266, November 19, 2012).
Bill Singer's Comment
Wall Street's Scarlet Letters: the SD of statutory disqualification, also known as the regulatory sanction that keeps on giving. Long after certain underlying violations or administrative actions seems a dim shadow of ancient history, former industry participants find their re-entry to the biz blocked by the activation of 3(a)(39). Although that barred door of re-entry sometimes seems permanently closed, in fact, there are ways to knock and gain entrance.
During my three decades on the Street, if I haven't seen it all when it comes to SD, I've sure as hell seen a lot. As Bowen demonstrates, there are many factors that often come into play during applications for registration for disqualified individuals. First, there's the nature of the underlying disqualifying event and whether the subject individual has shown remorse and avoided recurrences of similar misconduct. Second is the consideration of how long ago the misconduct occurred. Then there is the nature of the SD's proposed business. Also under consideration is the pedigree of the sponsoring brokerage firm and the proposed supervisors. Finally, the regulators scrutinize how the whole shebang is likely to come together: where will the SD be located, how will oversight occur, who will be the supervisor, are there assurances of adequate time and assets set aside to supervise, and what restrictions will be in place from day one?
Is there life after the death of being deemed an SD? -- according to this case and others, "Yes." On the other hand, the costs and perceived reputational risks associated with standing up on behalf of an SD are significant, and many broker-dealers are unwilling to incur that downside for anyone, no matter your explanations or the circumstances. Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanely, UBS, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo . . . good luck trying to get them to sponsor you on an MC-400. Impossible? No. Unlikely? Quite often. As you go to regionals and independents, you may find more flexibility; however, you may also be asked to cover the regulatory and legal costs of the MC-400 and subsequent steps. And if your path remains blocked after making the rounds of wirehouses, regionals, and indies, should you then dive into the cesspool and give it a shot with some pennystock shop or boiler room? Tell you what, look at the 18 undertakings set forth above and tell me how likely a banged up stockbroker's chances are of getting an MC-400 through if the sponsor BD has an extensive industry rap sheet and the proposed supervisor is walking wounded.

Round two of Science Sundays is already upon us and what better chemical to bring into the mix than the first one I put in my body this morning? Don't get any of the wrong ideas guys… just caffeine. There are few things I delight in more (slash find absolutely necessary to have in my life every day) than a joyous cup of coffee, and that in large part is due to its caffeine content. Caffeine, for all you terminology nerds, is a xanthine alkaloid that acts as a acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. OK, so that basically means it's a stimulant. It perks you up, helps keep you clear and focused, and if you're anything like me after three cappuccinos, can make you jittery and energetic.
So there we have it. Below are a few songs I enjoy, ones that I find help me wake up in the morning, put my head in a nice and clear space, keep me tapping my feet in my desk chair, and ward off any yawns or feelings of exhaustion of the moment. So if you're feeling a little groggy on Monday morning, or start slowing down at work in the afternoon, fill up your favorite mug and press play. I promise you'll be right as rain in no time.
Dark Sky – Tremor
Call me crazy but in my head I see a cute little coffee maker doing the harlem shake to this song and perculating away. And on a more obvious note…. excess caffeine can cause tremors. PURCHASE
James Blake – CMYK
I don't know how James Blake does it, but somehow any time I listen to this song, I feel re-energized, re-focused, and generally if I'm in a sour mood when I wake up this will snap me right out of it. Oh yeah, and it samples Aaliyah which is one of the few things in life I love more than caffeine. PURCHASE
Solo – Home Is Where It Hurts (ft. Syron)
OMG, this song. It's amazing and will wake you right out of whatever slump you're in. Huge ups to both Syron and the handsome Solo for combining ultra depressing lyrics with such an upbeat and catchy melody. I posted the music video for you all to watch for (cough… wink ;D) obvious reasons. PURCHASE
Rustie – Ultra Thizz
The ultimate pick me up. The bonafide, undeniable perk of a track that can only be done by the one and only Rustie. PURCHASE
Shlohmo – Wen Uuu (Salva Remix)
Salva may or may not have first caught your ear with the wildly popular remix he did with RL Grime of Mercy, but this track really (I feel) shows Salva's depth of knowledge with structuring sounds into a solid song. Definitely on the playlist of the coffee shop in my mind. PURCHASE
Tinashe – Boss (Ryan Hemsworth Remix)
It always takes a second to readjust from a slump, whether waking up from a nap, settling into the office in the morning, recovering from a hangover, whatever, and this is the perfect song to get you in the right vibe. DOWNLOAD
!!!BONUS!!! Justin Martin – Crackcast 019 Mix
Probably better than caffeine at getting you going. One of my favorite mixes this year. Boom.

Anyone think that the Magic could possibly be shopping one or more of the newly acquired players to some of the teams we may have been in trade talks with? I'm sure they could use Jason Thompson down there, and be willing to give up Ryan Anderson and Reddick? What about Nazr backing up Dwight? If Charlotte was actually looking at Rip, why not Reddick? It's clear the Magic need another 5, so I'm just wondering if any of the recent additions could be sent packing elsewhere soon.
I think they're done, they don't need a real backup for Dwight. They'll try to get their new players together until the playoffs.
If I were Orlando, I would ditch Nelson for a defensive minded small forward. This guy would be Turk's backup, and indirectly, the backup power forward as Turk slides over to power forward. No, the Pistons have no use for Nelson. Of course, in a three way trade - we could give them TMAC. What we need in return is a strong defensive point guard to backup Stuck. In TMAC, the Magic would have both a backup small forward, and a backup point guard. I am sure TMAC still has a lot of fans in Orlando. Now who would take Nelson, who also has a defense first point guard for us?
The Lakers? Send Steve Blake over our direction, and they can have Nelson as their point guard of the Future.
They could use another big body in there to spell Dwight a bit, that's about all I really see off top. They can always play Arenas at PG some, along with Turkoglu running the offense with their current backup in. At swing they have whoever doesn't start between Arenas and JRich, both players can see up to 30 mpg. Then Redick will of course get minutes at the 2. Earl Clark might get some looks as an option for a 3rd string SF/PF type while Ryan Anderson's minutes should increase. No idea who their backup Center is, and that's my biggest concern (other than roster chemistry) with the team. A team like LA or Boston can just keep throwing size at Dwight and get him into trouble.
I don't remember Blake as a defensive guy. Have not followed him though for the past couple of years now. Has he improved his defense any lately?
Not really. He's still primarily a shooter who can do a solid job of running an offense. He fits well in the triangle.
I do like Blake - but I am still hoping upon hope that the good defensive footwork I saw from Bynum at the beginning of last season can return. I am still thinking he is nowhere near 100%. Bynum does not have the range Blake has, but he can move fast enough to get closer in shots - and he does find himself at the basket a lot. Blake ain't got that sort of speed. Sure would like to see how well White can run the point. At 6-5, he could just be the perfect defensive sub to come in when Stuckey rests. Just speculation though. They hardly showed any of the preseason - and did'nt White bust that ankle real early in the preseason. I can't remember even seeing him play at all. Until I see him play, how can I judge if he has any defensive footwork? I rechecked Orlando's roster. Duhon is on it. He is a pretty good backup point. Still no height though. Looking around - you know, we really had it good, defensively, at point, when we had Billups as a youngster. Size, strength, skill - both ends of the floor. Stuckey has a lot of this too - and I would take a clone of Stuckey for a 2nd point guard and not regret it at all. Size, strength, speed, skill, all in one player is hard to find.
@Lee there are quite some decent, not used PG's out there (Blake, Duhon, Ridnour who is going to share with Flynn, Lowry or Brooks, whoever wins the starting PG gig)!
Orlando needs to find a backup center. Howard can easily get into foul trouble. Their whole strategy hinges on having a low post threat that can open up the perimeter shooters. They can get past Boston without one and even if they did they'd have no chance against the Lakers. Still, currently I'd say they are the stronger Florida team.
It may take a few games for the chemisty to gel....as the Magic lost to the Hawks tonight and at one point between the 3rd and 4th quarter they did not hit a single field goal for over 12 and half minutes. A big would be nice, but they have to make sure turk gets back on track...he is having subpar year so far ...maybe he couldn't run with Nash I guess.
I think Q-Rich is available no doubt...Although Jason Richardson is most likely gone after this year...

With many homeowners choosing to remodel rather than relocate, experts say there are some investments that pay off and some that should be avoided altogether.
The top remodeling projects are kitchens, bathrooms and master bedrooms, where people spend most of their time, says Rick Herman, CEO of the Rochester Home Builders Association Inc., an organization of 113 builders and 30 remodeling companies.
"That's 80 percent of the return on investment in cost versus value, according to Remodeling magazine," Herman says.
Local remodelers say client requests are on track with the top projects Herman mentions, as well as some other hot sellers.
"The mud room is the best place to spend money," says David Norbut, project developer at Norbut Renovations. "It's the first place you come into the house. What most people do in a mud room is kick everything off and step over it.
"What we do is help a client organize it—provide a place to sit down, put things in their place, make it more functional and take the stress away."
Norbut does many kitchen and mud room projects combined, and depending on the client, the layout and traffic flow may involve incorporating the laundry room as part of it. The average cost of a mud room component is $20,000 in conjunction with another project.
Norbut Renovations specializes in multiroom projects for residential customers, with most projects averaging between $50,000 and $100,000. To get optimal value in the home, both immediately and later, Norbut advises his clients, "Do not underfund your project."
In some cases when homeowners are working with much smaller budgets, Norbut will refer them to his brother, Bradley Norbut, owner of Frontline Remodeling LLC, who works on medium to large residential projects with a current focus on kitchen, bath and basement projects.
"Bathroom projects are super-hot right now," Bradley Norbut says. "They're an affordable remodel, and the client gets to see a big improvement. The average bathroom costs between $8,000 and $13,000 for a complete redo."
Some of Bradley Norbut's high-end bathroom projects can cost up to $50,000, he says, and they include custom tub and shower seats, tile work and directional body sprays.
People are asking about improving the value of their homes, he says, not just for the resale value but also because they have a new awareness with the advent of HGTV and the home improvement shows they watch.
"Everyone is watching HGTV, and they want what they see there," he says. "We're doing more tile. They want extra splurges like stone seats, deco backsplash, brushed nickel, little touches."
Basements are another major source of work for Frontline Remodeling, and Bradley Norbut says his clients are asking for living room quality, not just recreational space for the kids. He believes the additional living space is of extraordinary value when comparing the remodeling cost versus the cost to build an addition to the home.
"Remodeling is $35 a foot versus $125 a foot to build an addition (to put on a kitchen or add a bedroom) when you figure costs of excavating, roofing, siding and windows," he explains. "New construction
depends on materials and products you use, but there could be a savings of $95 a square foot to put in a basement. You do lose storage, but most of that is junk anyway, right? And we do try to incorporate some storage."
Longtime real estate sales agent Janice Fattaruso agrees. Basements can be a good investment for improving a home's resale value, but the homeowners must consider some very important guidelines.
"Basements always help to sell a house, but people shouldn't do it for that purpose. The remodeling of a basement should be related to height and light," says Fattaruso, who has been an agent with Red Barn Properties Inc. for 20 years. "The return on the basement will be lower if you don't have a walkout door or daylight windows."
Fattaruso also notes the influence of HGTV.
"Rochester has been slow to come around, and agents haven't pushed too hard. I've been more aggressive for years for sellers, but they have gotten away with it. But now style matters more," she says.
Now that people have seen what decorating can do, their expectations are higher, Fattaruso says, and presenting a home for sale is no longer just a matter of making sure it's clean and organized. In some cases, sellers need to do some upgrades to improve the value of their home.
The two main areas of focus, Fattaruso says, are the kitchen and the bathroom. In the kitchen, she says, updates and upgrades are of the utmost importance.
"New cabinets, new countertops, new appliances. Do the best quality you can afford and the best thing you can do. What buyers today really want at any age and any size home? Openness," Fattaruso says. "Open up a wall halfway so there is a view from the kitchen into another room. Whatever can be done to open up a view on the first floor is worthwhile to do."
Work in the bathroom can be more affordable if the budget is tight, she says. Any degree of cosmetic work is beneficial.
One of the main goals Fattaruso has as a sales agent is to minimize the time her clients' homes spend on the market. To help homes sell as quickly as possible, she believes photographs are critical, and she advises clients to change certain light fixtures based on how they look in those photos. Details matter.
"People will decide today if they are even going to look at a property based on photos," Fattaruso says. "Buyers are having a bad reaction to brass. Your eye goes to it in photos, and it looks dated. Changing light fixtures to brushed nickel or bronze updates the look of the home and can make a big difference."
Upgrades to improve resale value do not have to be costly.
"With selling it's the cosmetics," says Karen Leonardi, executive vice president of Nothnagle Realtors. "Do more minor updates, cabinet doors, drawer faces. They don't cost as much but give a fresh look. The cabinets themselves may still be in perfectly good shape, but the faces are banged up from use.
"It's exterior projects, what people will see first, that's No.1, along with energy efficiency."
Clients ask about converting attic space to extra living space, along with decks on the back of the house, which are always less expensive than major renovation work and can offer a solid return on investment.
"You don't want to do things that may only appeal to a small audience, like putting in a greenhouse or building a garden shed," Leonardi says. "I've seen a musician with an in-home recording studio. That's nice, but it may be useless to someone else. And a home office may be necessary, but if you're going to put it in, make sure it can be easily converted."
Another way to ensure the best value for renovation and resale is to consider the neighborhood, she says.
"If you have a ranch and want to make it a two-story home, it's not a good idea if you live in a ranch neighborhood. Most buyers want a home that is similar to those around it," Leonardi says. "So upgrading to a two-story home in this case may not be worth your investment."
David Norbut finds it interesting that many renovations of Rochester homes are being done by people who do not live here yet.
"We get a lot of out-of-town calls from people who are moving into a home they bought here. Thirty percent of our business is people who come here from places like Washington, D.C., Colorado, Georgia," Norbut says. "They like the location of Pittsford, Brighton, the canal path, so forth, but they don't love the master bedroom. The house needs to be made the way they want it."
When clients are looking to improve the value of their house as well as its livability, Norbut asks them to consider what he feels is a very important factor: "The value is in your family, and the best investment you can make is in your home," he says.

BLOOD GLUCOSE INCREASED Symptoms and Causes
If you have diabetes or pre-diabetes you have an increased risk for heart disease. Diabetic heart disease can be coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Diabetes by itself puts you at risk for heart disease. Other risk factors include
Some people who have diabetic heart disease have no signs or symptoms of heart disease. Others have some or all of the symptoms of heart disease. Treatments include medications to treat heart damage or to lower your blood glucose (blood sugar), blood pressure, and cholesterol. If you are not already taking a low dose of aspirin every day, your doctor may suggest it. You also may need surgery or some other medical procedure. Lifestyle changes also help. These include a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, and quitting smoking.

As I mentioned in the intro, depending on the color and the exact proportion of ingredients (it's impossible to be 100% precise and accurate when you are making such small quantities) sometimes the pigments don't disperse quite as well as commercial lipstick. If you are applying it with a brush this is not really an issue, because the brush will smooth and even everything out, but if you are using a tube you may need to smack your lips more than usual, or smudge them with your fingertips.
After making my first few colors what should have been obvious from the start finally struck me: this doesn't need to be just lipstick, it can be used as rouge, or face paint! However, I do not recommend using this to paint the area around the eyes. Some pigments are approved for lips and skin but not for the eyes, and since the specific ingredients are not listed on the crayons I would not risk it.
Update: jfarn01 had a great idea which I want to point out here. Crayons can also be used for making colored shoe polish -- it just so happens that I had already posted a recipe for shoe polish here. Just replace the candle in that recipe with 3 crayons of the color of your choice, and you can finally have a polish which matches your shoes.

Recreation is more than just doing something easy and fun, as many people find in these activities their passion. Have you ever wondered how a chef became a chef? The love for cooking became his or her passion and they've followed it until they have become better and better. And it all started from an easy recreational activity like cooking something good or learning how to make pastry.
However, this is not everything that you could do, so we're going to present you with some recreational activities that go well in this area – food and beverages, cooking, dining and so on.
This one is for those who like to be able to cook something good for themselves, their family or for their friends. If some of you consider that this is a useless activity, think again. If you know how to cook, you won't have to go to a restaurant to eat something good. Instead of spending a lot of money on eating a dish that you don't know how it was prepared, you could learn to make that recipe and amaze everyone you know.
It's easy if you learn from professionals, and there are plenty of workshops that could teach you how to cook. Of course, you could get cooking lessons in different types of food – Italian dishes, Spanish dishes, Chinese dishes and so on. All you have to do is show that you're willing to do it.
One more thing that you have to take into consideration as a positive point for learning how to cook is the fact that you will eat healthy food. Many people eat fast food and junk food because they don't know how to cook something – that's why home-made food is the best that there will ever be.
Dining Out
This is another recreational activity, because it's something that everyone would like to do at least once per week. It's not a problem if you don't want to learn how to cook, but if you still want to eat something healthy, finding a good restaurant might be the best thing to do. Instead of eating fast food, a restaurant will offer you different dishes from different cuisines, depending on their specialty. Some will be specialized in Italian food, while others will offer you Chinese, some will be serving their customers with local food while others will go for a mix of international cuisine.
The truth is that choosing the restaurant will be entirely up to you and your friends. Depending on what type of food you like to eat, having something down-town might be easier if you know where to do. That's why, with today's possibilities, the best thing to do first is look for the reviews that a restaurant has – the better the score, the better the restaurant.
In the end, there are plenty of things that you could do to relax and have fun. Cooking and dining out are just two of them, and nobody can deny their benefits – you relax, you spend time with your friends, you eat something good or you learn how to cook it. You'll also learn how to mix the drinks and what drink to serve with what dish.
It's important to do something that relaxes you at least twice per week, as the stress levels can really increase, and if you learn how to cook, not only will you do something that you love, but you'll also see the benefits that this brings you on the long term.
As for dining, this could be done no matter if you know how to cook or not – sometimes you'll be able to satisfy your curiosity and eat food that was made by famous chefs, or dishes that are innovative and special, depending on what type of restaurant you choose for spending out your evening.

Reviews for Linzer Cookies
"Good but not what I expected. I thought these would be a light, crisp, melt-in-your-mouth cookie but found them to be hard/tough when eaten right after baking and assembling. I've baked for years and understand the need not to overmix the dough, which I did not. I stored the baked cookies in an airtight container and did find that the cookies softened up by the next day, however, the cookies still had a heavy texture. I used raspberry and blackberry preserves, which was tasty, but for all the work involved in making these cookies they are not worth making again."
"I made these for Christmas and used a blueberry, raspberry, pomegranate spread I found at Costco. It was quite good.
Field Editor since July, 2013""Love the taste of added raspberry jam! Delicious recipe."
"Love these cookies! Made the batter and refrigerated. Got side tracked and never got around to baking them til several days later . . not a problem they were great! Needless to say this turned out to be a great recipe to make ahead. Next time I would let them stand outside of fridge for about 1/2 hour as when they stay in the fridge as long as they did, the batter was pretty hard. Wonderful taste & wonderful presentation!"

Comstock Mining Updates NI 43-101 Technical Report
M&I Resource Increases To 2.15 Million Gold-Equiv Ounces, Lucerne M&I Increases 25%, With Newly Discovered Chute Zone
Feb 07, 2013, 08:03 ET from Comstock Mining Inc.
VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Comstock Mining Inc. or "the Company" (NYSE MKT: LODE) announced today the highlights of its fourth National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) technical report (the "2013 Report", or the "Report") authored by Behre Dolbear & Company (USA), Inc. of Denver Colorado. The Report declared a mineral resource estimate for the Comstock Mine Project in Storey and Lyon Counties, Nevada, of Measured and Indicated Resources containing 1,824,000 ounces of gold and 17,100,000 ounces of silver, for a total of 2,150,000 gold equivalent ounces[1], and an estimate of an Inferred Resource containing an additional 870,000 gold equivalent ounces. These estimates include the newly identified Chute Zone, a wedge-like, structurally bounded zone that hosts significant gold and silver. The Report also includes an additional 200,000 gold equivalent ounces outside of the modeled area, in the Historical Resource Category.

Comstock Mining Inc.'s Chief Executive Officer, Corrado De Gasperis commented, "Discovery of the East-side Chute Zone and the better than expected increase of Measured and Indicated Resource in Lucerne is tremendously rewarding for our team. Quantifying over 3.2 million gold-equivalent ounces, on just a fraction of our land position, provides us with significant confidence in the long-term future of the Lucerne Mine and our overall resource goals."
The 2013 Report incorporates the results of the Company's 2012 drilling program, which ran from January 25, 2012 through December 7, 2012. The program focused on infill and development drilling in the Lucerne Resource area, comprised of 391 holes totaling 146,274 feet. The drilling program consisted of 364 reverse circulation (RC) holes, totaling 138,521 feet, and 27 core holes, totaling 7,754 feet. The drilling totals also included fourteen widely-spaced exploration holes in Spring Valley (previously announced in a May 9, 2012 Press Release) and 22 step-out and infill holes in the East Side target (previously announced in a November 7, 2012 Press Release). The total cost of the program was $4.87 million, with an average cost per foot of $33.26.
The 2013 Report comments, "Behre Dolbear believes the Comstock Mine Project represents a well-explored epithermal precious metal deposit within a world-class mining district… The geology of the project area is well described and understood through vigorous surface mapping and drill hole logging. The density of geologic data is high and the reliability is excellent, particularly in the various Lucerne Mine areas."
The Report also comments on the Company's completely redesigned and rebuilt processing facility, and the operating results through the end of 2012. The Company estimates that the heap leach ultimate recovery will average over 70% for gold and over 45% for silver.
Lucerne Area Details
The Lucerne Resource Area includes the previously operated Lucerne, Hartford, and Billie the Kid pits; the historic Justice and Keystone surface cuts and underground mines; and the historic Woodville bonanza. The modeled mineralization covers approximately 5,400 feet of strike length. The Lucerne Resource Area is also host to the Company's Lucerne Mine, opened in 2012, with an associated heap leach and Merrill-Crowe processing facility.
The Lucerne development drilling directly supported the start-up of the Lucerne Mine, extending the life of the mine plan, and confirming the continuity of the mineralization.
Chute Zone Discovery
Although the Company drilled a limited number of East-side holes, the results led to the discovery and interpretation of the "Chute Zone" by Company geologists. This intersection between the northwest striking and northeast dipping Silver City fault, and a series of northeast striking and southeast dipping structures hosts a zone of enhanced mineralization. The zone consistently averages 0.095 ounces of gold per ton over drill intercepts of 50 to 270 feet, and has currently mapped dimensions of 100 to 150 feet by 100 feet by 450 feet.
"Since 2008, our geologists have recognized the enhanced grades of precious metals when northeasterly striking mineralized structures intersected the Silver City fault zone," stated Larry Martin, VP of Exploration and Mine Development. "Now we have identified a specific, wedge-like, structurally bounded zone that hosts significant gold and silver, which we are calling the 'Chute Zone'. The geometric shape is similar to high grade zones historically mined in the Comstock district as bonanzas."
Behre Dolbear concluded, "Exploration opportunities to expand the known mineralization down-dip and along strike to the north, south, and east are still good, and excellent in the East Side and Chute zones, and have the potential of adding considerably to the estimated Measured and Indicated Resource."
The updated resource estimate for the Lucerne Resource Area incorporates these new results, and now totals 53,550,000 tons of Measured and Indicated Resources, containing 1,586,000 ounces of gold and 15,330,000 ounces of silver. The total of 1,880,000 gold-equivalent ounces1 in the Lucerne Resource Area is a 25% increase over the total stated in the September, 2011 Technical Report (the "2011 Report").

Dayton Area Details
The 2013 Report also re-states the Company's mineral resource estimate for the Dayton Resource Area, which was completely described in the 2011 Report. This area, south of the Lucerne Resource Area, includes the historic Dayton, Alhambra, Kossuth, Cherokee, and Metropolitan mines.
Ongoing Activities
The Company is currently ramping-up mining and processing activities in the Lucerne mine, with the goal of increasing the production rate to 400 gold-equivalent ounces per week. The ongoing technical program includes continuing infill drilling, metallurgical testing, and geotechnical testing for a second mine in the Dayton Resource Area. In addition, the Company is designing a new phase of exploration drilling to include its highest-potential targets, including fully-developing the East Side and Chute targets in the Lucerne Resource Area, and the continuation of the mineralization from the Dayton Resource Area into both the Spring Valley and Oest target areas.
Mr. De Gasperis concluded, "Discovery of the East-side Chute, similar to certain historic bonanzas was inevitable but no less thrilling for our team. We look forward to finalizing our updated drill programs for 2013, and resuming those activities after the Lucerne Mine stabilizes production at our 400 ounce per week target."

Middlesbrough striker Scott McDonald believes his side has what it takes to knock north-east rivals Sunderland out of the Capital One Cup tonight.
Boro are in fine form in the npower Championship having won four games in a row and with Martin O'Neill expected to make changes to their side at the Stadium of Light, the fourth round tie appears a winnable one.
The two sides met in the FA Cup last season, with the Black Cats edging a replay in extra time.
McDonald is targeting revenge.
"We're all looking forward to the big derby now and a chance to beat the Mackems," he said after Saturday's 2-1 victory over Bolton in which he scored both goals.
"We went there last season in the cup and gave them a scare and we should have won the game - and for me, we're a better team now.
"The dynamics of the team are very different. We've got attacking options now. You look around the changing room and you see players who can create chances and players who can score.
"I'm sure we can be a threat to them. We're going there confident and with real momentum."
O'Neill has hinted he may ring the changes, but 29-year-old McDonald is still expecting a tough encounter.
"They will be strong", he added. "Martin O'Neill has won this cup with Leicester and he will see this as a trophy they have a chance in.
"With respect, the Premier League is not really a competition they can win. They will look at this and think it is their best bet.
"And it is a derby game too so the fans there will demand victory. It'll be tough."
Boro boss Tony Mowbray will run the rule over Jonathan Woodgate and Marvin Emnes.
Defender Woodgate has missed the last two games with a thigh injury while Emnes limped out of Saturday's game with a hamstring problem and both men will face late fitness tests.
Merouane Zemmama is back in training having recovered from a hamstring problem and he is expected to be in the squad.
There are no movements on any of Boro's other injured contingent, with Luke Williams (hip), Kevin Thomson (calf), Rhys Williams (ankle), Lukas Jutkiewicz, Muzzy Carayol and Curtis Main (all knee) still occupying the treatment room.
Boro have a good record in the League Cup having won it in 2004 and finished runners-up in 1997 and 1998.

Flash flooding leaves widespread damage in Pittsburgh area
Heavy rain inundates area roads, parking lots and basements
July 10, 2013 9:02 PMThis story was written by Jon Schmitz and Paula Reed Ward, based on their reporting and that of Kaitlynn Riely, Liz Navratil, Mark Belko, Maria Sciullo and Molly Born.
People in Western Pennsylvania braced Wednesday night for a second round of potentially devastating storms following torrents that dropped as much as 3 inches of rain in some parts of the area during the day.
But all of the foreboding and warnings ended up as mostly just that as a string of storms that arrived shortly after the evening rush hour brought with them less rain than was expected.
"It moved through so quickly," said meteorologist Brad Rehak, of the National Weather Service. "It wasn't as heavy."
Rainfall that was expected to end just after midnight should be replaced throughout the next three days with drier, more comfortable weather -- aiding in crews' cleanup efforts.
Throughout the morning Wednesday, a number of emergency swift- water rescues were conducted to recover stranded motorists from flooded roads throughout the South Hills. But the evening was a different story, said Pittsburgh public safety director Michael Huss.
"I think the strategy we put in place this afternoon, we prevented a lot of problems we didn't have to respond to," he said. "We're lucky because we have no loss of life."
The strategy included keeping a number of the road closures in flood-prone areas in effect throughout the day and into the night.
By doing that, Mr. Huss said, no motorists would be placed in jeopardy -- and, consequently, neither would emergency personnel.
By 9 p.m., swift water rescue teams were released from standby, and emergency crews were being called out mostly for downed wires and trees.
The Regional Urban Search and Rescue Strike Team was placed on standby in the Strip District late in the day, Mr. Huss said, in the event of any building collapse because of tornado warnings for the area, but they, too, were released without having to be deployed.
For a time Wednesday evening, the weather appeared extremely threatening. The weather service issued a tornado warning for Lawrence County and weather observers spotted funnel clouds in the area. The weather service said it had not confirmed a tornado, but said there were reports of damage to barns and trees.
Lawrence County emergency dispatchers said they fielded as many as 80 calls, many of them for flooded basements.
There was still plenty of rain and some strong wind, leading to scattered power outages. As of 11 p.m., Duquesne Light reported 30,500 customers without power, while West Penn Power listed about 5,400 without electricity.
The heavy rains Wednesday morning started to fall in parts of the district shortly before daybreak, causing swollen streams and creeks to overflow, flooding roads, parking lots and basements. The rain felled trees, disrupted power and stretched the resources of emergency responders.
The worst flooding was centered in the southern and western neighborhoods of Pittsburgh and the southern and western suburbs of Allegheny County.
Mr. Rehak said he did not expect there to be flooding on any of the rivers in the area because so much of the rainfall was localized. Flash flooding like was experienced Wednesday is caused by the small size of the creek basins tasked with accepting the rainfall and runoff.
"What floods rivers are widespread events -- several counties at one time," he said. "A lot of the problems are poor drainage.
"There are roads where there shouldn't be."
No fatalities or serious injuries were reported Wednesday, but damage was widespread. Dozens of roads were closed, some of them washed away by cascading floodwaters.
Route 51 and Banksville Road in the South Hills were among the worst affected. Banksville was closed in both directions due to heavy flooding and debris, but reopened Wednesday night. Route 51 also was closed for part of the day, making the afternoon rush hour more difficult for South Hills commuters.
Rescue teams pulled drivers from several vehicles trapped in rapidly rising waters, including a few who drove around barricades and into trouble.
Pittsburgh police pulled officers from every station to help during the worst parts of the flooding and then called in detectives from headquarters to help monitor closed intersections.
Scott Deutsch, assistant chief of emergency operations for Allegheny County, said the 911 center received about 1,600 calls from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., compared to about 530 during the same period last week.
Megan Esper of Banksville was driving on Banksville Road when she saw a vehicle ahead of her getting swamped where the road dips below an overpass at the entrance to the Parkway West.
"I saw how fast it was coming and I said, 'I'm not going any farther,'" she said. "All the water on the other side of Banksville was bursting through like rapids."
Police closed the road in both directions from Crane Avenue to the parkway and said a section of it had washed away entirely.
Floodwaters flowed onto the Parkway West near the Fort Pitt Tunnels, shutting the outbound side and adding a layer of misery to an already difficult commute. The Port Authority suspended Light Rail Transit service for a time after debris washed onto tracks in the South Hills.
When service resumed, Blue-Line Library trips went no farther south than Lytle Station in Bethel Park because of damage to the tracks. Shuttle buses served the orphaned stops through the evening rush and the prognosis for reopening the closed section for this morning's rush was uncertain.
Several feet of water flooded the Library park-n-ride lot on Route 88 in South Park. The water was so deep that some cars were floating.
Basements and buildings were flooded in Bridgeville, Castle Shannon, Dormont, Duquesne, Elizabeth Borough, Elizabeth Township, Jefferson Hills, North Fayette, Robinson, Scott, South Park, Versailles, White Oak, and western and southern Pittsburgh neighborhoods.
In Oakdale, the swollen North Branch and Robinson Run creeks overflowed their banks, flooding the borough's tiny business district with about 3 feet of water.
Wednesday's rain flooded the basements of dozens of businesses and homes along Noblestown Road and shut off access to the business district.
"I don't know how many times this town can go through this," said Dennis Watters, a retired Oakdale fire chief.
One resident, Marylynn Lebec-Campbell cried as she recounted the frantic text message she got at work warning her about rising water along Noblestown Road. By the time she got home, the flooding filled the basement of her house at 6160 Noblestown with 3 to 4 feet of water.
The family had spent $25,000 to renovate the basement after moving in in 2009. They did not have flood insurance.
"It's gone. It's gone," she said.
Mark Simonds, pastor of Oakdale United Presbyterian Church, also had "plenty" of water in the basement of his home in the town's business district. Firefighters at the station next to his house removed his wife and children from the home as waters began rising Wednesday morning.
"I was in a canoe trying to get to them and I got a call that they were already at the church," Pastor Simonds said.
McDonald Fire Chief Terry Kerr estimated that flooding damaged 10 businesses and 15 to 20 homes in the borough, many in the O'Hara Street area.
Several municipalities, including Castle Shannon, Elizabeth Borough, Findlay, North Fayette and Oakdale, declared disaster emergencies.
On Irwin Street in Elizabeth Borough, "it looked like Ohiopyle coming down the road," said Paul Battle, referring to the rapids of the Youghiogheny River.
The storms briefly disrupted Pittsburgh's public safety communications system and knocked out PennDOT's traffic management center in Collier.
In Findlay, businesses parallel to Route 30 in Imperial were flooded. Camp Meeting Road between Route 30 and Hookstown Grade Road was closed after becoming impassable, Findlay manager Gary Klingman said.

E.T.E.B.O.N. (Eigen Tabak en bollen om niet), a fraternity (corps) of the students of the Mennonite Seminary at Amsterdam, formerly connected with the fraternities of the University of Amsterdam, was founded on 7 May 1814. The association song is the Latin Patriam Canimus. Its colors are red, white, and blue—-the colors of the Netherlands. Nearly all the ministers of the Dutch Mennonite churches were members of this corps as students. The records of its meetings are written in verse. Admission is bound with certain mysterious ceremonies. Formerly a pilgrimage was made every two years to Hotel de Grebbe at Rhenen on the Rhine.The 25th, 50th, 75th, 80th, 100th, 125th, and 140th anniversaries were celebrated, and Gedenkschriften were published on a number of these occasions. At the end of World War I (ca. 1918) the E.T.E.B.O.N. broke its connection with the student fraternities, and has lost much of its importance.
