The majority of residential and also commercial driveways are finished with concrete or asphalt.
Both are reasonable in terms of price but asphalt has more advantages in the long run.
The way it is made says it all: concrete is made of aggregate (sand, crushed rocks…) mixed with cement and water. Asphalt is made of aggregate too but its binder is bitumen. Both are durable and hard but asphalt accommodates imperfections a lot better.
Faster Installation and Usability
Asphalt pavement can be installed in as little as a one or two days and you will be able to use it after waiting for only another couple days. Installation duration depends on the size of your driveway obviously. Once the asphalt reaches outside air temperature, it can withstand traffic.
If you compare this to a concrete pavement that takes twice longer to be installed and set, there is really no comparison possible. Asphalt wins in this case.
Increased Durability
Concrete is a lot more prone to cracking and breaking compared to asphalt. Asphalt has a lot more flexibility and is less prone to cracking over time. Poor installation of your concrete can result in what is called "spalling". Your driveway will remain in better condition for a longer time if you use asphalt.
Lower Maintenance Costs
If your asphalt driveway starts showing some signs of aging such as linear cracking, you can easily purchase a crack sealant on your own. Many home improvement shops sell it freely and you can apply all by yourself without even calling a professional. You can do it by yourself in one afternoon. All this will save you money in the end.
We strongly recommend that you perform preventive maintenance tasks on a regular basis if you want to increase your driveway lifespan. Sealcoating, crack filling, sweeping…all these operations are generally enough to maintain your asphalt driveway in good condition. In contrast, it is a lot harder to maintain concrete driveways since they can't be heated and repaired as easily as asphalt.
Asphalt's black color is an added benefit
Black retains sun and heat better than concrete. It means that during winter snow will melt faster. It is an added feature that increases the safety of your residence and your commercial premises.
And don't forget that asphalt is 100% recyclable. Whether it is for a new construction or repairs, asphalt is the wisest choice you can make for the long term. Cement paving is a lot less convenient in comparison.
In conclusion, asphalt paving will provide you with better structural integrity and a more pleasant driving surface, even if you use heavy vehicles.

What Is Asphalt Made Of?
Understanding the makeup of a product helps you to better understand how and why it deteriorates. This gives you a better understanding of how to prolong the life of the product.
Asphalt is comprised of various rock aggregates and a binder that holds them together.
You may wonder, what are aggregates? Aggregates refer to a mixture of gravel, stone and sand. It is a rock mixture comprised of various size and shaped materials. The size, shape and makeup of the aggregate can be changed to best fit with the climate of where it is being laid.
The binder that is used in asphalt paving is made from crude oil. When crude oil is processed, some of it becomes gas and what is left over is used to make the binder for asphalt. The binder does exactly what it name connotes, it binds or sticks the aggregates together.
The mixture of aggregates and the binder, also known as bitumen, makes asphalt a more flexible product than concrete. Concrete also uses aggregates comprised of a mixture of gravel, stone and sand, but its binder is cement. Cement is a strong substance that once is dried, does not change. The bitumen, while a strong substance, is more flexible and can handle larger changes in temperature.
Asphalt must be laid at temperatures of 270-350 degrees, which allows bitumen to be in a more flexible state to be laid and then compacted. It is rolled over with a roller to compact the asphalt. It then takes 24-48 hours to cure, depending on the outside temperatures. After that asphalt is ready to be driven on, but it doesn't fully cure for a couple months, which is why you want to wait to sealcoat asphalt until it is fully cured.
As soon as asphalt is laid it begins going through the process of oxidation. Oxidation happens when oxygen from the air and water come into contact with the chemical compounds in bitumen, causing it to dry out. This is necessary, at first, to help cure and harden the asphalt. The oil within asphalt tends to make it a more flexible substance than concrete and helps with being able to manage traffic loads and varying temperatures. Over time though, the oxidation process will weaken the structure of the asphalt pavement, making it more brittle and less forgiving to colder temperatures that can cause freezing and thawing, causing it to be more susceptible to cracks and potholes. This is why it is important to sealcoat your asphalt in order to delay the process of oxidation. Over time, the asphalt will turn from black to light gray as the process of oxidation runs its course.
Now that you know that oxidation weakens the binder of the asphalt, as the oxygen in water and air change the chemical structure, how do you help protect against it? You can make sure that your pavement is constructed in a way that allows for irrigation so that water does not cause damage to your pavement. In addition, you can sealcoat it regularly to help protect the pavement.
If you are a heavily busy business area then your paving takes a beating. As customers come in and out of your parking lot, your parking lot gets put to good use. Having a heavily used parking lot is a good problem to have, even if it means you have to take even more care of your parking lot. The goal at the end of the day is to have more customers, but with more customers comes more upkeep.
There are 3 things that you can do to help protect your asphalt pavement from the many patrons visiting your location every day. Here we will go over somethings that you can do to help your pavement last longer.
Trying to be compliant to building codes can be hard. And there is some confusion between being ADA compliant and being code compliant. Just because you are ADA compliant doesn't mean that you are being code compliant. You may wonder, why? ADA compliance comes down from the federal government. This means that everyone needs to follow these codes regardless of what city or state you life in. However, individual states and city may make their own codes that are more strict then the ADA compliance codes. The best way to make sure that you are compliant is or you to check with your city's code compliance offices to ensure you are making the best decisions about your business's building.
When you are looking at your parking lot there are somethings you want to ensure to make sure that you are ADA compliant. Each parking lot needs to have a certain amount of accessible parking spots. Each parking lot needs at least one van accessible spot and for every 6 accessible spots there needs to be at least 1 van accessible spot. Below you can see the chart of how many accessible spots are needed based on the number of parking spots provided.
Car accessible spots require the following:
+ Further info on car and van requirements can be found here
Don't forget to check out to see if there is any tax credit available for you to make these changes. Small business may be eligible for up to $5,000 in tax credits for making changes to the parking lot. Small business are defined by the IRS as business that have less than 30 full-time employees and had a gross product of $1,000,000. Other business may also be able to receive up to $15000 in tax credit for the purpose of removing barriers on property in order to provide better accessibility.
+Further info on tax credits can be found here
Whenever you are thinking of resurfacing or restriping your parking lot then make sure that you talk with your local building code officials to ensure that you are up to code. It will save you the hassle in the future if you are ever reported for not being compliant.
There are several factors that will affect the quality of your pavement and the length of time that it will last. Being proactive about mitigating some of these issues will allow your pavement to last longer.
One of the major factors affecting the life of your pavement is correctly assessing the amount of traffic that will be driving on your pavement. If you are a retail location that will be undergoing reconstruction and might have heavy machinery on your pavement it is important to take note of that when getting your pavement done. Pavement should always be laid for the heaviest traffic load it will need to carry. Pavement is made from a flexible material, but if the traffic load is too heavy it will cause cracking. Talk with your paving contractor about the use of your parking lot and ensure that it is able to bare the correct traffic load.
The second factor affecting the life of your pavement is water. Water can have devastating effects on your pavement if your pavement is not protected correctly. Water can get in and cause cracks and if these cracks are not taken care of then they will grow into bigger and multiple cracks. The way to prevent water from negatively affecting your pavement is by creating proper drainage for your asphalt pavement. Your paving contractor should ensure to create proper drainage for the pavement project so that no water pools on the pavement. Also making sure that your pavement is properly sealed will help protect against water seeping into the pavement.
Another factor that will affect the life of your pavement is the subgrade and subbase. If the underlying layer of your pavement is not built up correctly then the weight of the traffic on your pavement will not be evenly distributed and will cause too much weight and pressure on the asphalt, causing cracking to occur. There are many different ways that an improperly constructed subbase can cause pavement to fail. To guard against this make sure to hire a trusted contractor who will make sure that you have a strong, solid subbase.
The quality of your pavement and its life will be effected by the amount and type of maintenance that you perform. Asphalt needs maintenance to ensure that it is protected from external elements. To increase and protect the quality of your pavement, be sure to get cracks filled promptly and to deal with the root issue of the cracks to ensure that they do not come back again.
Types of Pavement Deterioration
There are several types of deformations that can occur on the surface of the pavement due to weakness in one of the layers. The main four types of deformations that you may see on the roads are: Rutting, Corrugations, Shoving, Depressions and Swells.
Rutting occurs in heavy traffic areas. The rutting follows the tire lines of cars. It is caused by displacement of asphalt material as the cars drive over them. Ruts begin to appear over weakened areas. These areas can hold water. Rutting can occur in the subgrade, subbase or on the top layer, depending on where the weakness is.
Corrugations occur in areas where heavy acceleration or deceleration happens. It is important to get asphalt with the correct mixture suitable for the paving job. Corrugations occurs when there is too much cement or too much small aggregates. It resembles ripples and is often known as washboarding.
Shoving is the movement of the pavement similar to corrugations where there is a bulging of the pavements. These bulging often occurs in areas where there are heavy amounts of acceleration or deceleration as they cause the moving of the asphalt aggregates.
Depressions occur when there is a movement in the base layer, underneath the asphalt pavement. When shifts occur the pavement also becomes depressed. Eventually these depressions will result in potholes that become dangerous for motorists.
These are the main types of deformations that you might see on the road. Most of these deformations happen in heavy traffic areas where there are a lot of cars that cause these deformations. Constructing the asphalt pavement in the correct manner with the right mixture of aggregates at the right temperature will help to mitigate some of these effects. If you are experiencing some of these issues on your road be sure to reach out to an experienced asphalt paving contractor that can correctly assess and determine the causes of these deformation and provide the right solution to repair your road.
Types of Cracks in Pavement
There are several types of cracks that can occur in your asphalt pavement. These cracks occur to a wide variety of reasons. Knowing why these cracks occur helps to best know how to mediate the effects of the cracks and repair the problem area.
Fatigue Cracking
Fatigue Cracking is also known as alligator cracking. The main reason for fatigue cracking is due to heavy traffic load on the roads. Roads should be built for the largest traffic load that it will have to carry. Excessive traffic load causes the road to crack, as it is not able to carry the weight of the load.
Longitude Cracking/ Transverse Cracking
Longitude cracking and transverse cracking are both long lines that appear in the road. Longitude cracking occurs in the direction of the traffic and lines up with the center of the road, while transverse cracking is perpendicular to the center of the road. These types of cracking are usually due to drainage and frost problems. Once water gets into the asphalt pavement it will begin to freeze and thaw and this process of freezing and thawing will create cracks. If these cracks are not taken care of then they will cause further parallel cracks. This process is also known as deterioration.
Reflective Cracking
Reflective cracking occurs in the case where there is an overlay on the asphalt. When cracks are not properly fixed on the underlying pavement then the cracks will eventually migrate to the top layer. This is why it is called reflective cracking, as it is reflected in the top layer. This is why it is important to get cracks filled and taken care of prior to having an overlay put on your current asphalt.
All these types of cracking can lead to potholes if not taken care of early on. It is best to take care of your asphalt pavement when you first see cracks to prevent further cracking from happening. Call a paving contractor who can correctly assess the cause of the cracks and get the root problem fixed.
When you start on as big of a project as paving you want to make sure that it is going to last. There are three major things that cause asphalt pavements to fail.
The first reason is improper thickness of asphalt. Sometimes cheap asphalt contractors who are trying to bid for your business will quote you a lower cost, but often what is happening is that they are budgeting for less asphalt. This could be dangerous for you because less asphalt means that the pavement is not as strong as it needs to be to bare the load of the cars riding on it. Different paving projects will need differing amounts of asphalt laid, depending on the weight it is expected to carry. For example, a parking lot for a busy retail location is going to need a lot more than a driveway that only has 2 cars that use it. You want to make sure you are using a trustworthy paving contractor who will ensure that the asphalt is thick enough to handle the weight it is expected to carry.
The second reason asphalt pavement fails is due to shifts in the subgrade. The subgrade is the native soil that is under the asphalt. A good contractor will make sure that the area underneath the asphalt has a good subgrade and a good subbase. Occasionally there will be shifts in the subgrade due to moisture, heavier than expected traffic load, roots growing deeper moving the soil around and other circumstances. A good subcontractor knows how to mitigate that from happening and ensure that you have a strong enough subgrade and subbase to carry the weight necessary.
The last reason asphalt pavements tend to fail is due to lack of maintenance. It is important to maintain your asphalt pavement to protect it from external elements that might try to damage the asphalt pavement. If you notice any cracks starting to appear, it is important to get them sealed right away. The longer that cracks remain open, the more water can get into the cracks which will cause long term damage to the asphalt pavement.
A good paving contractor will help to mitigate some of these potential issues. If you would like a consultation with our expert contractor then give us a call today!
All pavement will eventually deteriorate and not be as strong as it once was. If you do proper maintenance then this will happen later rather than sooner, but if you don't then it will happen sooner than later. Throughout its lifetime, the asphalt binder which holds all the aggregates together begins to weaken. As oxygen leaves the binder it becomes dryer and less flexible and less able to hold the aggregates together. Maintenance in the form of sealcoating allows the binder to be protected and not give out as quickly. If you are interested in learning more about sealcoating visit our page on sealcoating.
But if you are getting to the point where your asphalt needs to have a new layer so that it can be returned to the pristine blacktop you loved at the beginning, you'll need to get a consultation of how to best – and most economically – restore your asphalt pavement. One of the options you may consider is an overlay. One of the biggest issues when considering doing an overlay is the issue of cracks in the previous pavement. Paving over a cracked asphalt pavement will cause you more trouble sooner than later. The cracks from the previous pavement will be an uneven surface for the new asphalt overlay causing reflective cracking, which is cracking that comes up to the new layer of paving from the old layer. Then your back to where you started.
Permaflex solves this solution by wedging into the cracks and sealing them up. Permaflex helps to create a good foundation for a new layer of asphalt. The cracks are filled in so they will not cause damage to the new layer of asphalt and the Permaflex allows the old asphalt paving to be a solid subbase for the new overly.
Prior to using Permaflex it is important to make sure that the underlying asphalt is solid. Repairs may need to be done in order to make sure that further cracks will not happen due to uneven grounding that may have shifted after asphalt was laid or that any potholes are fixed up.
If you have any questions or would like a consultation on your pavement then give us a call and we can give you a free consultation on the best option for your asphalt pavement.
Your concrete driveway goes through a lot. Luckily, they are durable, but they are susceptible to oil stains. If your car starts leaking then your driveway will get covered in oil. And with concrete driveways the oil stain stands out – there is no way of covering it. Oil stains become eye soars and it can be frustrating that your once beautiful driveway now has stains. Unfortunately, you can't just use a pressure washer to get out those stains. However, there is one house hold item that you can use to get your oil stains out of your concrete driveway: kitty litter.
Now your, saying "what?! kitty litter?" Yes, kitty litter. The problem with oil is that it sinks into the ground. No amount of scrubbing and high pressure water will get it out. You need something that is absorbent that will soak up the oil from the ground. Kitty litter is super absorbent (or at least you hope it is!), so it's a good household item that you might have that will work to get the stain out.
The best kind of kitty litter to use is actually the cheapest kind you can find. The cheap kitty litter tends to be more finely ground and more absorbent, making it better for this process. Once you have the kitty litter follow these steps:
This is one cheap method to get rid of the oil stain on your concrete floor. You can use other products. The key is to get something that is absorbent that will work to get the oil out of ground. It's not like dirt that you can just scrub and sweep away. Oil needs to have something that will pull it out of the material.
Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

Pay attention to your background colors and your text colors when designing a site. Something like red text on a blue background doesn't work well. And if you think that white text will pop with a black background, it could be a little too bright for your readers. Go with something subtle.
Use JavaScript to include a custom font on your webpages. Libraries like Typekit and Google Web Fonts make it easy to include esoteric fonts on webpages, even if most visitors don't have those fonts on their computers. It works by embedding the font itself into JavaScript so that it can be decoded by the client on the fly.
Last but not least, starting a home based Internet business does not cost you several thousands of dollars to get started as traditional business does. The fee that you have to spend on includes domain name, hosting and website design fee. If you're able to build your own website using web design software (like FrontPage, Dreamweaver), it's a good thing. If not, the solution is hiring someone else to create one for you.
Of course, if you design web pages for a living, you have to know programming languages such as Java, Java script and others to get many things to work the way you want. This is where many web developers fall short and they have to hope there is Java, or other, code already written to be copy/pasted into the web programming. If you need something more customized you are in trouble not knowing these things.
The trick is to find a webhosting site that includes all the tools necessary for making a website of your own. When browsing the websites of these companies be sure to check to make sure that you will be given access to a 'site builder'. The name may be different according to the hosting company, but the concept is still the same. What you will be looking for is a way to build pages without having to use any other software.
Using your sketch as a guide lay out the web pages that will make up your website and start inserting them into the proper areas using the software. Always start with the home page and work your way out from there. During this step it is important that you ensure your pages are linked together so that users can easily get from one page to the next without any problems.
Once you have decided what aspect of your topic your website is going to serve, check out the competition. Find out what other websites look like using your chosen keywords as your search term on Google. Look at the pages they are using – how many and what type, and how they are advertising. If you are sufficiently advanced, right click on their pages and check out their source code.

Introduction A worrisome boy that doesn't know how to escape from his fears
Chapter 1 - Dream Week 2
A guy was leading me into a playground that seemed familiar to me.
He was holding my hand and both of us ran to the slide.
We didn't use it to go down the spiral, but we hid under it instead.
"What are we hiding from?"
He told me to stay quiet and just look at him while he looks the other way.
I just said,
"Aight, bro."
The guy told me not to address him that word.
I asked him why not and he told me that he isn't my brother.
I didn't mean that he really is my brother, it's more of a title that I give to people.
He knows that I didn't mean it that way but he just felt weird about it.
He told me to call him by his name.
When he told me his name, all I heard were scratchy TV sounds.
And I was like,
He told me again, but I kept hearing the same sounds. I just called him,
instead of trying to know his name.
So it has been awhile since we were sitting under the slide.
Should I question him again or just keep quiet?
I asked again and he told me that he's trying to hide from something.
Why was I brought up with him?
Am I really supposed to be here?
I just stayed with him anyways.
Suddenly, we heard a noise and his eyes turned worried.
The noise got louder and he just sweated off like he was going to get kidnapped or something.
I touched his back and told him to calm down.
I have no idea what's going on, but this person should chill out.
I tried to get us out of the slide and he just kept yanking on my arm and kept telling me to sit back down or else something bad will happen.
What is going on?
What is his problem?
I know shouldn't be concerned with other people's problems, but I'm in this situation with him, so I have got to know what is going on.
All he said to me was that something bad will happen.
I told him that if he never moves from this spot, he would never know what's outside of this hide out spot and there will be no improvement.
We couldn't stay here any longer, so I grabbed his hand and told him,
"Trust me, everything will be okay."
I smiled at him and he smiled back.
We then stood up from the hide out spot and the noise was gone.
He tapped on the fake green grass a couple of times like a dog who never touched grass before.
"Come on, we got to get out of here and do something,"
I said and he replied back,
"What are we going to do?"
"You will see,"
I told him.
We then kept moving forward somewhere and now I am the one leading him somewhere.
Although, I have no idea where I'm going, it's best to just keep walking.
For all I know, there might be something out there, but we shouldn't be frightened.
I guess both of us heard the same thing, but it was just all in his head.
It wasn't telepathy that we did, but it's more like we understood each other.
We were both alike and I always chose to hide from a lot of things.
So in this dream of mine, I was just telling him that something cool may come forth to him.
I did not say us since I had to leave at some point and wake up.
There are no predictions to what happened to him, but I know that he's doing great.

Redeeming Grace Church is a gospel-centered church plant in Pittsburgh that was started in October 2016. Since that time, it has been absolutely incredible to see God working in our midst! Our vision is not just to plant one church but to send out groups from our current congregation to plant more and more churches all around the city. We long to see God's Kingdom advance.
Our philosophy is simple: Church planting is the most biblical and the most effective way to spread the gospel. Many missionaries do many good things, but we regard church planting as the central thing.
Moreover, we believe that the responsibility for church planting falls on churches themselves. While agencies can be quite helpful, we believe that the biblical pattern is for local churches to be leading the charge.
There are two other things about us that are important to know:
First, we strive to be a gospel-centered church. This means that we believe the gospel should influence not only our doctrinal statement but also our daily lives. We want to relate to God, one another, and ourselves in light of the gospel.
Second, we place a lot of emphasis on life in community. This means that we believe our relationships with one another can't stop at noon on Sundays. Rather, we want to form meaningful relationships and minister to each other in substantive ways. We believe much of discipleship takes place through the "ordinary" conversations believers have throughout the week.
We'd Love for You to Join Us
If you're looking for a church or are even just curious about church, a great way to meet us is simply to attend a Sunday Worship Gathering.
Here's what you can expect when you attend:
We meet every Sunday at 10:30am at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School (1528 Hamilton Road in Bethel Park, PA – click here for directions).
Plan your visit today!
The best way to prepare for attending is by filling out this short form to plan your visit. While this is not a required step, here's why it's a good idea:
1. It allows you to pre-register children without feeling stressed or pressed for time.
2. We'll assign you a personal host for Sunday. This host will be available to help you drop off children in the children's ministry, show you around the church, and answer any questions you may have.
3. We'll have a gift bag prepared just for you.

*Empire*'s Makeup Artist Tells Us Who's Going to Look Very Different in Season 2
If you're counting down the hours until the season two premiere of Empire tonight, you are not alone—we're right there with you. The one bright spot in our torturous wait has been the chance to interview Karen Lynn Accattato, one of the lead makeup artists on the show. We asked her to spoil on the story lines, give us details about what the characters are going to look like this season, and break down how Cookie manages to pull off all that makeup without looking ridiculous. Warning: If you haven't finished the first season, spoilers are coming your way.
You do makeup for all of the men on the show. What's their routine like?
"The most important thing for me is skin because if you don't have good-looking skin, then no makeup is really going to help you. So I always start with a good face cleanser. I use Dove Men + Care Hydrate Face Wash [Accattato is a spokesperson for Dove Men + Care]. A lot of the male actors on the show have oily skin, and this helps maintain it. Then I always finish with Dove Men + Care Ultra Hydrating Cream. It leaves the skin with a matte finish. I think a lot of men don't use moisturizer because they think its going to leave them shiny, especially a lot of ethnic men because they have oily skin. What they don't realize is that their skin is dehydrated because they are not using anything to replenish the moisture."
Any makeup on the men?
"If the moisturizer is giving me enough of a matte finish, I just leave it at that. If I need a little bit of help, I'll use a mattifier, which seals the skin and deflects the light so it's not bouncing off their skin. Then we groom their eyebrows, nose hairs, and ear hairs and put a lip balm on them. Since the male characters on the show are very wealthy, they care very much about their looks."
How will the men of the Lyon family change in the second second?
"You'll see Andre and Jamal Lyon with facial hair. Andre, who is being groomed to become CEO of Empire Records, has a full beard this season. And Jamal, who is becoming more successful as an artist, will also have a beard. But since Lucious is in jail this season, he will have no hair, and that's a big change for him. At the beginning of the show, he always had beautiful hair, and now he's shaved his head."
There's a lot of plot and character development in that hair.
"Since they're in the music industry, staying on top of trends and fashion is important to these characters. It's a way to distinguish them and give them a unique look. They don't necessarily have the ability, like women, to use makeup to change their look. This is one thing they can do to empower themselves."
Speaking of makeup on women, you do the makeup for Grace Gaeley, who plays Anika Calhoun. Can you talk about her look?
"Since Anika comes from a well-off family, Lee Daniels [Empire's creator] wanted her to always look flawless. My design on her is very classic and sexy. You always see her totally on point. Her signature look is superclean foundation, supergroomed eyebrows, a cat eye, and a strong red lip. Her lip look says sex, power, and confidence."
What do you use to create Anika's signature look?
"To create Anika's cat eye, I use M.A.C. Fluidline Eye-liner Gel in Blacktrack with a very thin brush from the art store. I start at the end of the lash line, then draw straight up inside the corner of her eye. I then go back over my line and build up certain areas to do more of a triangle at the end to get the retro cat eye. For her brows, I use Kevyn Aucoin The Precision Brow Pencil, which allows me to draw in one hair at a time to get the perfect brow. For her red lips, I use M.A.C. Lipstick in Ruby Woo with a matching lip liner."
Will Anika's look change at all this season?
"Oh, yes. Anika is going to go through quite a dramatic arc. You will see everything reflected from that in her hair, makeup, and clothes. You're going to see a whole different side of the Anika that you know. I can't say too much without giving everything away. But all I can say is she is going to go through severe emotional and physical trauma. Just trauma on every level."
What's the one thing, makeup-wise, that all the women in Empire have in common?
"All the girls wear strong lashes. We really like to pop the eyes, and a lot of the acting comes from their eyes, so it's very important that we're emphasizing that. Plus, we're a glamorous, rich, fabulous show. The characters would have their lashes and nails done. I mean, their nails are always off the chain. They have new designs and new colors every episode."
Speaking of off-the-chain style: Cookie. How does she pull off so much look?
"You have to remember that Cookie comes from the hood. She comes from absolutely nothing, but she's always had a certain flamboyance about her. So now that she has evolved and gotten out of jail, it's her time to shine. We want to reflect that in her hair, makeup, and clothing. Only she can pull off the crazy leopard print and the crazy jeweled top. You'll see a lot of color in her wigs this season; her hair is always changing. She's the most colorful character in the show. She wants to walk in the room and stop the room. That's her power. The more outrageous, the more she's going to own it. And who doesn't want to be that girl who talks and dresses unfiltered? Everyone wants to be an uninhibited and unconventional woman."
What has been your favorite makeup moment on the show so far?
"Most of the time when women sit in my makeup chair, I'm there to put their best face forward and make them look beautiful. But this season with Anika, I had to figure out how to destroy her look. I think the true test of somebody's strength is when they are at their most vulnerable. So if I can destroy you and still make your beauty come forth, I've succeeded as a makeup artist."

It matures to an average height of 1 inch to 1 foot and an average width of 1 foot to 2 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, shade, morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun and grows best when planted in sand or loam soil that is well drained or moderately drained. In the spring Ajuga Sparkler produces powder blue flowers. The foliage is yellow, chartreuse, light green, medium green and dark green in color.
Ajuga Sparkler can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in mass plantings, in containers or planters, as a border or edger, as an accent, as a groundcover, in landscape beds or islands or in small groupings and also in theme gardens, perennial gardens or shade gardens.
This outstanding variegated foliage of 'Sparkler' will light up the floor of a shady to partially shaded garden like nothing else. Come winter, the variegated foliage takes on amazing pink tones. Warm weather with new growth brings out even more variegation. To top things off, lovely blue flowers nearly cover the foliage in spring.

Venezuela, where anger over food shortages is still mounting, continued to be roiled this week by angry protests and break-ins of grocery stores and businesses that have left five dead, at least 30 injured and 200 arrested, according to various news reports.Here is a youtube video showing some of the recent problems getting food in Venezuela:
The latest fatality came from the southwest city of Merida, where 17-year-old Jean Paul Omana died Wednesday after being shot Tuesday during a disturbance amid looting.
Widespread violence has been reported there, as well as an attack by protesters on the headquarters of President Nicolas Maduro's United Socialist Party of Venezuela, or PSUV.
As consumers grow increasingly frustrated with ongoing food scarcities and lengthening lines outside stores, protests are turning more violent. A Social media reported protests on Wednesday in the Los Teques, Los Altos Mirandinos and Santa Teresa del Tuy suburbs of Caracas, the capital.
Sunday, June 26, 2016
Looting and unrest continue roiling Venezuela as shortages persist and protesters demand food
I've back off with a lot of what is going on in Venezuela. It gets to the point, the situation is so bad, so dire the situation becomes exploitive. And it grieves my heart to see what is occurring.

I currently live a few miles east of Sycamore, KS with my wife Julie and daughter Elyzabeth. Being raised on a local farm just outside of Fredonia, auctions have always been a part of my life. My father took me to auctions since I was old enough to walk. When the opportunity presented itself to purchase Midwest Real Estate, my wife and I took it. Julie has been the broker and driving force ever since. Starting an auction business was the next logical step. I attended the Missouri Auction School and recently acquired my real estate license. We have been in the auction business for 9 years now. Adding real estate sales is a great new opportunity for us in the auction business.
Supporting local community events is an important part of every business. I believe it is the responsibility of everyone to give back to the community by supporting local events and organizations. I am a member of Zion Lutheran Church, the rural fire department, Chamber of Commerce, Montgomery County Action Council and support various other organizations by donating my time and auction services. As a professional auctioneer, I am also a member of the Kansas Auctioneers Association.
Auctions are in my blood. I enjoy every minute of them. Meeting new people, helping people and the excitement of the sale make for a fantastic day. I am committed to both my sellers and buyers. Providing a superior service and experience for all is always my priority. I would love to be of service to you. If you haven't been to an auction, please attend one of our upcoming sales to see what it's all about!

Nothing makes students happier than getting good grades. In fact, none of them want to end up having poor grades on their academic transcript, and there are different reasons for that: some are just overly motivated, others are under too much pressure from their parents, others are on a scholarship they are too afraid to lose, others would like to gain admission to a reputable college/university, and yet others are too eager to get different academic awards, e.g., scholarships, bursaries, etc. Actually, there aren't any specific academic rules or laws to follow to achieve all that, but if you read our tips carefully, we guarantee that even an average run-of-the-mill student will be able to boost their chances of top grades and improve overall academic performance dramatically.
If you're looking to get straight A's in high school, you should start paying more attention to your homework. It is one of the most tried and tested ways of improving your grades. Despite doing generally well, some students still have trouble attending to their homework, which is, in fact, one of the easiest assignments to do. What's so easy about it? Well, the reason is quite simple: you get to do it from the comfort of your home without being nudged into action by your course instructor. So, start showing proper respect for your homework!
As a student, you may have a rigorous schedule requiring you to do a part-time job, take part in extracurricular activities, study a lot of subjects, etc., so prioritizing each of the tasks is really important. Conclusion? Get your priorities straight!
Sometimes, having a good relationship with your teacher (and it doesn't necessarily mean being your teacher's pet) can also be instrumental in helping students improve their grades. Professors like students who show their motivation by asking a lot of questions but be careful not to overdo it because you run the risk of ending up being a major nuisance.
Sometimes, students are too scared of their teachers, and that fear can hold them back from getting straight A's. Remember - it's their job to be there for you, so try and reach out to them to take advantage of all the help that they can offer you. Solution? Get on good terms with your teacher!
It is actually much easier to earn good grades in high school than in college or university where you get much less interaction with your teachers and, therefore, need to do the more critical thinking and rely extensively on your own experience. In fact, acquiring good grades and being at the top of the class shows the level of the student's maturity and their ability to study without being coerced. So, grow up!
Forcing themselves to study all the material they have learned in class isn't easy for most students, unless, of course, they have uber-strict parents that control each and every aspect of their studies. To do better in high school, they should, therefore, be really committed to their studies and never leave anything to chance. The key to their success lies in following one very simple and yet very effective guiding principle: 'You cannot answer anything unless you know it.' This means that during exams your teacher will test your knowledge of the material you were supposed to learn in class or at home. If you failed to do so, your further progress in high school would be greatly hampered. Lesson to be learned? Always make sure you've acquired enough knowledge, no matter how annoying it may be.
People are born with different IQs, but with due diligence and commitment, any student can get good grades in high school. Listed below are some grade-boosting tips you may find helpful:
There are many other ways to get good grades in high school, one of which lies in joining a study group. This is absolutely important because you get to share a lot of different information with your colleagues, including concepts you were previously unaware of. Before joining a group like this, make sure that all of its members are active contributors and attend it on a regular basis.
Many students often ask themselves a question, "How can I get good grades in high school?" And the reason for that is quite simple - they are not satisfied with their current grades and looking for a way to improve them. Actually, it's quite simple, and all they need to do is just follow these five simple steps:
Getting better grades in high school is not difficult, providing, of course, that students really look forward to excelling in their studies. However, there are quite a few challenges they face along that path that can hamper their learning progress. They can spend two to three hours a day studying, but by the end of the day, they realize that they've only spent 45 minutes doing the actual studying, while the rest of the time has been spent checking Facebook and Instagram messages, answering their friend's calls or merely idling about. Conclusion? Try not to get distracted and remain focused on what you're doing at all times. Another way of boosting your grades is taking notes in class, which can be really helpful if for some reason you forgot some of the things you've learned. Remember that your body, the brain included, is a system that requires rest, exercise and a well-balanced diet in order for you to study well. So, be sure to pay proper attention to all of the three components if you want to get the expected results.back to all posts

Introduction: Mini Camp Stove for a Few Dollars
In this instructable I will show you how to make a miniature camping stove for a few bucks all I had to buy for this project was the fuel and it cost less than $2. You may have to buy a few other things for this project but most of it should be lying around.
Please vote for me in the shopbot challenge!!!!!!!!!!!
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Supplies
For this project you will need:
• 2 empty soda cans
• Fiberglass insulation (You can also use cotton balls of something like it)
• HEET or Denatured alcohol (This is the fuel)
• Scissors
• A razor blade
• A screw or penny
• A hammer
• A trimming nail (the small ones)
• A sharpie
And some sand paper
Step 2: Prepare the Cans
Start by washing out both of the empty soda cans. After that draw a line all the way around the cans with a sharpie. The lines should be about 1-2 inches high. I did this by putting my marker in a big book and holding down. Then I ran the can along the marker to draw the line. This way the line always stays the same distance.
Step 3: Cut the Cans
Next you need to cut the cans. It is pretty hard to get a good cut if you just try to cut at the line exactly so I started by using a razor blade to cut a big piece off the can to make it more manageable. After you cut off a big chunk of the can take the scissors and slowly cut it down to the line.
Step 4: Sanding
You don't want a rough or jagged edge on the cans. Get some fairly low grit sandpaper and sand down the edges. This step can take a while so I used a hand sander with 120 grit sandpaper and put it in my vice. Then I turned it on and just held the can up to it for a few minutes. I did this to both cans.
Step 5: Making the Fuel Hole
Get one half of the can and mark the middle. Now use a drill or nail to punch a hole in the middle of it. You will fill the stove with fuel through this hole but it will stay covered while burning. If you want to plug the fuel hole with a screw be careful to the size of the hole so the screw won't be too loose.
Step 6: Crimping the Can
Since the two Pieces of the can are the same size they won't fit together. Take the piece of can you did not drill and pinch the top with the pliers give the pliers a quick twist. This should make a small fold in the can. Do this all the way around the can.
Step 7: Put It Together
Now fill the piece of the can you crimped with fiber glass. Pack it tight, you want a lot of it. Now put the can with the fiberglass in the other piece of can. It should be a very tight fit. Press VERY slowly to put the cans together. If you do it to fast the can could rip or fit together unevenly.
Step 8: Make the Jets
Now we need to make jets for the flames to come out of. Make eight marks evenly spaced around the can. Now take the trimming nail and hit it in to the mark with the hammer. Pull the nail out and do it to all eight marks.
Step 9: Lighting the Stove
To light the stove you will need to fill it with fuel (duh) fill the stove with 3 table spoons of your fuel. This should be enough to boil a pot of water. After the stove has been filled cover the fuel hole with a penny or a screw. After you fill it with fuel it gets a little trickier. In order to light the stove you need to pre-heat it. You can do this by holding a lighter under the can for a few minutes or lighting some of your fuel in a small tray and putting the can on it for about 45 seconds. Once the stove is pre-heated just hold a flame to one of the jets and it should light. You may need to light each jet individually.
Step 10: Use It!
To use it for anything you must make some sort of stand to put a pot on because if you put a pot on the stove it will go out.
That's it please comment with any suggestions or questions!

like it. i have my own version of it a little less complicated it can burn for up to an half hour on a full tank and cooks a brawt in 10 -15 min. Should i make an instructable?
frickin' drillpress with frickin' laser beams attached to it's frickin' head
Must Have! Tell me how NOW!
Sure I COULD probably figure out how to do it myself, but...
by the way... nicely done stove
Have you tried the "preheat by burning some fuel in the fill area?(spill a couple drops in the center there, and light)
Getting these little buggers lit is usually the hardest part of the whole build.
Thanks for the feedback. Actually the laser is built in to the drill press which is my favorite feature on the thing.
Yes I have found the best way to light them is to just put a little heet in some sort of pan or tray and light it so you heat up the bottom of the can.
I just took another soda can bottom and poked holes for ventilation in the side and
set the stove on top.
I have thought about building the heating tray into the can but haven't tried it yet.
Thats why other builders often suggest to use a primer-pan for starting like the autor did already.
Simply put the stove on a small plate (or piece of foil or the cut-off-head of a beancan or whatever) and but a few drops in there.
That will work much better than the burning ontop since the ontop-burning lets the head almost completely escape. If you fire it from below the stove, you get the stove to running-temperature with almost no additional alcohol at all.
Just my 2 cents... ;)

Cypriot duo AEK and Apollon have just a point each in their respective Europa League groups and anything other than a win tonight against Ludogorets and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively will all but put an end to their already slim hopes of progressing to the knockout stages.
At the GSP stadium in Nicoisa, Apollon take on group leaders Eintracht who have enjoyed a perfect start after their first three games.
Apollon were completely outplayed in Frankfurt a couple of weeks ago and manager Sofronis Avgousti knows that his team must play at their very best if they are to get anything out of the game.
Apollon have been plagued with injuries to key players in recent weeks giving Avgousti few options to rotate his squad.
Both Vassiliou and Stylianou are expected to start the game while influential midfielder Marcovic may be rested in view of the upcoming Limassol derby against AEL this weekend.
Eintracht are enjoying one of their best starts in years and are currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga. They have not lost in their last eight domestic and European games and will be firm favourites to extend their unbeaten run.
More than 4,500 German fans are expected at the GSP stadium, by far outnumbering the couple of thousand Apollon fans that are expected at the stadium.
The majority of the Apollon fans are still staying away from local football games due to the introduction of the football fan card at the beginning of the season in August.
AEK's task is just as difficult against Bulgarian champions Ludogorets.
In the reverse fixture in Nicosia, the Bulgarians took AEK by surprise and could have led by two or three goals in the opening 20 minutes, before the Larnaca team regrouped and finally earned a deserved point.
Both Ludogorets coach Radoslav Zdravkov and captain Svetoslav Dyakov admitted that AEK are a very good side but felt that their team is superior and that they would claim the three points that could give them a chance of progressing further in the competition.

Wilson, who takes up the role at the end of next month in the bank's Edinburgh office, will report to head of group comms Carolyn McAdam. She in turn reports to head of comms Howard Moody.
McAdam confirmed that Wilson had been appointed but refused to comment on any aspects of the role he is taking on, or the issues he will be facing. However, she did say that up until now temporary members of staff had filled the post and he would not be directly replacing anyone.
Wilson, who has been widely tipped as a future potential leader of the nationalists, lost his seat after the Scottish parliamentary elections in May.
Earlier this summer, RBS appointed Lansons Communications to promote its credit cards. The agency replaced three-year incumbent Harrison Cowley (PRWeek, 19 June).

Hey everyone!
Did you miss me? lol I have been crocheting like crazy lately, so much that I think I'll need a wrist/elbow transplant soon I have just decided to take a couple of days off from my crocheting fever to rest my back a bit, so here I am with a couple new post and funny projects to show you!
Remember my previous post about Hexagons ?
Well, my obsession not only didn't fade away, but it got even increased by discovering the creative talent of Attic24:
In a sudden creativity explosion I decided to make such a blanket (but more a knee rug actually) for my mum this Xmas.
I went buying some yarn the other day with my boyfriend but I totally *effed* it up. Our livingroom in Italy is all in neutral colours, cream, orange and coffee brown, so I figured such a colour combination would be an asset for the blanket as well.
My fave yarn store in Maribor (Slovenia) didn't have ANY of those colours in a soft bulky yearn which would make the blanket something affordable and easy to make. So I bought just one orange, brown and cram skein of wool/acrylic blend to try and well, I really didn't like the result. The hexagons were stiffy and riculously small. I would have needed 3 years to come out with anything in the size of a blanket! So I went back to the store the following day and I got to change the yarn I didn't use. I decided to change colours completely and went for a sweet pink, turquese, cream, purple and green. I thought that choosing 5 colours for a pattern that requires 4 for each hexagon would give me a nice turnover without adding too many colours and I think I was right!
These are the 20 hexagons I made in a 24 hours crocheting marathon 🙂 Considering that I also ate, slept and went to the cinema watching Julie & Julia in the meantime (eheh) I think they work quite fast! What do you think? Any feedback on the colour choice? I am pretty proud of the fact that so far no hexagon is looking like another.
I left the blanket at my in laws on Sunday, so no more crocheting until next Friday. My mother in law insisted on having it there to learn weaving in ends, so well, I thought I'd share some of the fun 🙂
I also thought I'd make a list of "project stats" from now on… so here they are:
– Starting date: October 16th 2009
– Finishing date (ext): anytime before Xmas!!!
– Number of hexagons according to project: 140
– Number of hexagons made so far: 23

Engineering design is normally associated with new constructions and major renovations, where the project in question has not been built yet. However, engineering design tools can also be used to improve operation and maintenance in existing properties. Keep in mind that project documents continue to be useful after the building has been completed: they are an invaluable reference for maintenance and troubleshooting, and they provide a useful starting point for future expansions and renovations.
Modern design software allows the digital storage of project documents, which ensures a copy is always available if the printed plans and specifications are lost. However, software tools were not available for older buildings, and project documentation was completed by hand. As a result, many buildings no longer have the original project drawings, or they have deteriorated to the point where they become impossible to read.
Project documents are not only useful during the design phase. Building management becomes much more difficult when there is no technical documentation available:
Managing maintenance activities and building upgrades without technical documents is like trying to reach a specific address without a map, in a city you have not visited before. You will eventually get there, but will not follow the most efficient route.
If you are managing a property that lacks technical documentation, an engineering firm can help you create a set of project documents that reflects the current building condition. Although this involves an expense, it can be considered an investment given the long-term benefits.
Modern building modeling software can create design documents in just a fraction of the time that was needed when all drawings were made by hand. The first step is creating a geometric 3D model of your building, which indicates the space requirements and shapes of components. Then, consulting engineers carry out a site inspection to gather the technical data that is added to the model. The gathered data answers important questions about building systems, such as the following:
A lot of this information may seem trivial and easy to obtain. However, consider the time lost on inspections if you follow that approach whenever you need information about building systems. There are also cases when your maintenance team must solve issues as quickly as possible, and building documentation speeds up the process considerably.
In addition to simplifying property management, technical documentation helps you meet the requirements of NYC building codes and local laws. Keep in mind that code compliance does not end once the building is completed - building codes are reviewed and updated all the time, and new requirements are sometimes made retroactive for existing properties. The following are some examples of mandatory upgrades for existing properties:
These building upgrades must be submitted to the NYC Department of Buildings for approval, and the application process includes technical documentation. The permitting procedure can be completed faster if you already have building documents, since they are used as a starting point for the mandatory upgrades. Otherwise, you have to create project documentation from zero, first for the building itself and then for the upgrade!
If your building lacks technical documentation, a qualified engineering company can help you create it. Modern design software and information technologies speed up the process, while minimizing disruption of building operations. Once you have an updated building model with detailed information about its systems, you will have gained a valuable property management tool.

When choosing fruits to grow in a frugal garden or orchard, there are things that must be taken into consideration:
- Soil conditions: If there is not proper soil conditions, can it amended in an organic manner so the fruit will grow well in that area?
- Amount of sun: Determine if there is enough sun in the area to grow the fruit. If there is too much sun, is there a way to combat that issue? Perhaps by providing shade in some way for part of the day.
- Soil moisture level: If the soil in the area is too moist, a better drainage be created? Perhaps with raised beds? If there is not enough moisture, how can the plants get the water they will need?
There may be other considerations as well. Read the full descriptions of each plant and the care it will need before deciding what to grow. Be sure to purchase from trusted companies or people, to be sure the seeds or transplants are organic. The areas hardiness zone should help in deciding which fruits will grow well in the chosen area.
There are a number of fruits that home gardeners may want to try in their gardens. Here are 10 for consideration:
- Apples: Members of the rose family, apple trees are considered perennials. Apples can be eaten fresh, or used in cider making. They can also be made into sauce, or used in bread and dessert baking, among other things. Cross-pollination is necessary when growing apples, as they don't self-pollinate. When growing in smaller spaces, try dwarf or pole trees.
- Pears: These are used in muffins and other recipes, and are excellent eaten right off the tree. Pear trees are able to be trained to grow along a fence or a wall when space is limited.
- Plums: These grow well on our families' camp land, on a mountain here in Maine. They are set up in a small orchard, and the resulting fruit is delicious. The sauce can be made like homemade applesauce, and can also be used in muffins, breads and pancakes, and other recipes.
- Bananas: Many people place the dwarf variety of these trees on a sunny porch, or in another sunny location. They don't take up too much space, and will yield bananas to be used in breads and other recipes. The fruits grow to about 4 inches in length, and may also be eaten fresh.
- Melons: There are a wide variety of melons to choose from, including watermelon, honey dew, and cantaloupe. Some are sweeter than others, and their size will vary. Choose depending on taste, and the space available in your garden. Bush type melons, such as Garden Baby, will take up less space, and people do grow smaller fruited melons along trellises and fences. Melons are highly nutritious, and provide few calories.
- Oranges: These provide the body with vitamin C, as well as other important nutrients. They are great in fruit salads, as well as in juices and eaten fresh. Dwarf varieties can be grown in containers inside and outside the home, though they will require patience when growing within the home; the fruit will ripen with considerable warmth.
- Lemons: These fruits trees also come in dwarf varieties, and can be grown inside or out. The fruits can be eaten right off the tree, sliced for beverages, or used when baking.
- Limes: These trees are also found in dwarf varieties and can be grown successfully in containers. Use the fruit in beverages and for other culinary uses.
- Peaches: Grow these in your orchard, or as a dwarf tree on the patio. The fruits from peach trees will be much more flavorful than those purchased at the store. Harvest these fruits in late summer, and use in fruit desserts and salads, as well as breads.
- Apricots: Plump apricots are the best to use in homemade breads and muffins, as well as in fruit salads. These are wonderful eaten fresh as well, and make a great fruit basket or bowl along with peaches and pears.
Happy planting!

Regulation Impact Statement Updates
Official website for publishing regulatory impact analysis information for regulatory decisions announced by the Australian Government, COAG and COAG Councils.
Modern Slavery Reporting Requirement
Regulation Impact Statement – Department of Home Affairs
On 28 June 2018, the Government introduced the Modern Slavery Bill 2018 to establish a Modern Slavery Reporting Requirement (reporting requirement) for certain businesses and other entities in Australia.
The reporting requirement will require certain businesses and other entities with more than $100 million consolidated revenue to publish annual statements detailing their actions to address modern slavery in their operations and supply chains. The reporting requirement will apply to Australian entities and foreign entities carrying on a business in Australia.
A Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) was prepared by the Department of Home Affairs and was assessed as compliant and consistent with best practice by the Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR).
The Department estimates the average annual regulatory cost at $65.85 million. The OBPR has agreed with this estimate.

This is not the 1st time I'm seeing on the Anti's scoreboard screenshots some pilots's avatars missing.
I've having missing avatars too on my screen.
But Anti's and Mid's are ok...! Huu! Is there something to do to have this working everywhere ?
I've tried some settings, some file format (.png, .jpg etc...), 128x128, .dds ...
It can be fun to have them working for us too
What's the secret ?
The trick is to host the avatar files externally on dropbox or similar and use locator files. P2P doesn't work so you won't necessarily see any other custom skins, hear horns or see avatars for players who do not use locators.
Thx Anti!
Buhh it's the same problem as skins and other things imported, I was sure avatars where ok...
Ok I'll try this ASAP
After quickly watched...
I see a storage folder "Avatars" in [...]\ManiaPlanet\Skins\Avatars\ with some .dds inside... I'll do the same as horns and skins, cool thx

Russell DeCarle with Paul Pigat and Steve Briggs
October 27, 2019 /7:30 pm 10:00 pm
Russell deCarle with Paul Pigat and Steve Briggs
$30 Advance / $35 Door *
It's late, and the bar is crowded. The music is loud, and people are dancing. The bartender needs a smoke, and you could use a smile, a conversation, a moment of recognition…
But you are alone in this crowd, along with the singer Russell DeCarle. Like him – and his music – you are holding it together with equal measures of heartbreak and hope.
So join Russell; sink into his third album of songs that touch the heart, celebrate the truth, and provide warmth and company in the noise of the crowd.
Alone in this Crowd is the title of Russell deCarle's third album; it feels like the soundtrack of a movie in the days just before they invented Technicolor.
And, even more than his two previous albums, it may surprise those who remember deCarle as the lead vocalist and bassist of the iconic Canadian country roots band Prairie Oyster. He is no stranger to awards and accolades — his "Oyster years" were rewarded with six Juno Awards, more than a dozen Canadian Country Music Awards and enough gold and platinum records and #1 singles to fill a living room wall.
The truth is, though, that Prairie Oyster was always more than a "country" band, and deCarle's warm, burnished and intimate voice has always honoured an eclectic range of songs.
True to form, Alone in this Crowd offers a fluent collection of songs that mix southern soul and restrained balladry, with obvious touches of jazz, blues, old-school country, and western swing.
For some artists, the urge to make solo records asserts itself almost as soon as they start to gain attention as part of a successful band. Not so for deCarle: "For decades people were asking for a solo record," he says, "but I never thought I was ready and the band always satisfied the musical part of my life."
But that was then and this is now.
This third record is a perfect example of what you get when you hear this artist live – in a club, in a concert hall, or at a festival.
"I want people to be emotionally invested in these songs, whether I wrote them or whether they were created by others," he says. "If they touched audiences in some way – well, that would be the best thing that could happen."
It's his personal objective whenever he performs. "I'm a music lover first and foremost — a product of all the stuff I've ever listened to – and my tastes are very broad."
"To me, this is a torchy, bluesy record more than anything else. And I know in my heart that it's something that people who hear it will understand immediately…." – Richard Flohil

Paul Pugat
"I think it is unlikely that I'll review a better CD than "Jukin'" this year. It's simply terrific and virtually every track is a highlight. Pigat is a ballsy, confident vocalist, at home equally with the forceful rockabilly that accounts for half of the CD, a trio of more laid back Western Swing tunes, a couple of unusual covers and the collection's only slow ballad, "Louisa". His lead guitar is stunning and the generous breaks bristle with invention and at times are lightning fast." – Harry Dodds, Now Dig This magazine (UK)
"Cousin Harley plays a mean guitar" – Michael Kissinger, Pier magazine
"This collection could fit into any of Quentin Tarantino's films… if you get a chance to hear Cousin Harley, you will dig it!" – Monte Nordstrom, Cosmic Debris

APPLETON, Wis. -- Lawrence University jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period Tuesday and went on to a 5-2 Northern Collegiate Hockey Association victory over Concordia University Wisconsin at the Appleton Ice Center.
Jake Drinkard scored twice for the Vikings (3-8-0, 2-5-0 NCHA) and handed out an assist. Goaltender Evan Cline made 30 saves and allowed just one goal for Lawrence.
It was Drinkard who got the Vikings on the board midway through the opening period when he scored off an assist from Josh Koepplinger at the 11:12 mark.
After Lawrence's Chase Wiedemann was sent off for hooking less than a minute later, Drinkard struck again. He scored a short-handed goal just 15 seconds into the Concordia power play to the put the Vikings up 2-0.
Lawrence made it 3-0 on Stephen Zabrowski's goal at 13:45 as he scored off an assist from Matt Beranek. That chased starting goaltender Erik Schuette, who made 14 saves in the first period.
Concordia cut into the lead on an odd play in the final seconds of the opening period. With just five seconds left and a face-off in the Concordia end, the Vikings pulled Cline. However, Concordia won the draw and Dante Hahn was able to find the empty net with 0.7 seconds left to cut the lead to 3-1.
Lawrence quickly pushed the lead back to three as Vincent Dekumbis won the puck near his own blue line, skated into the Concordia end and beat goaltender Bo Didur for a 4-1 lead. Lawrence's Charles Stewart finished the scoring for the Vikings with his first collegiate goal off an assist from Drinkard at the 10:57 mark of the second.
Didur finished with 14 saves for the Falcons (2-8-1, 0-6-1).

It's a long standing joke among family and friends that I am queen...
Queen of what? Just about anything: the Inline hockey parents, the neighborhood, the family, even queen of the kitchen (and we all know that's a joke).
Last night I was performing my queenly duties of taking out the trash when my neighbor called out
(yes, called out...we are civilized around here, we don't yell)
she had something she wanted me to see...
Her daughter, Grace, came out the door...
She had just been chosen first runner up in the Petite Miss Saxonburg pagent!
Look at that smile, that pose...seriously, this girl is a natural!
Of course, good things come in twos...
And I think Olivia was thrilled to be lady in waiting to our newest neighborhood royalty!
It's good to be queen (complete with Corgi),
but it's more fun to be surrounded by royalty!
Have I mentioned lately how much I like living here?
