Is the Alamo Victory Program free?
Yes, the Alamo Victory Program is an absolutely free rewards program. Plus, we give you a free movie ticket on your birthday!
Do I need to keep track of points/purchases or remember to bring a card?
The Alamo Victory Program was designed to be as easy as possible. There are no cards or points to keep track of. All you have to do to keep the surprise rewards coming is log in to Victory every time you purchase online, or tell the box office attendant every time you buy a ticket at the theater.
I bought 4 tickets and my account was only credited with 1 visit. Is that correct?
Yes, it is. Each time you buy a movie ticket for a unique showtime (movie, time and day), the Alamo Victory Program registers one visit for your Victory Program number, regardless of the number of tickets you purchase. Here are some examples:
(2) tickets to 'Iron Man' at 3PM + (2) tickets to 'The Big Lebowski' at 8PM = 2 visits
(5) tickets to 'Caveman' at 5PM = 1 visit
(3) tickets to 'The Goonies' at 12PM = 1 visit
I bought 2 tickets at the box office and they don't appear in my Online Movie Purchases history. Why do they not show?
At this time, only purchases made online through the / website, Facebook Connect, or your smartphone will appear in your Online Movie Purchases history. Purchases made at the box office will not show in your Online Movie Purchases history, but you will still receive 'visit' credit for having seen those movies within our Victory Program.
Tickets purchased through Fandango will neither show in your Online Movie Purchases history nor have the ability to be tracked by our Victory Program. We hope to improve this functionality in the near future!
Why did my visit history change on the first of the month?
The Alamo Victory Program records your visits and updates your balances in real time. In addition, on the first of each month, your visit balance is reviewed. Any visits over 12 months will expire and be removed from your history. This does not affect your lifetime visits total.
Are gift card purchases and theater rentals eligible for earning Alamo Victory Program rewards?
No. Gift card purchases and theater rentals do not earn Alamo Victory Program rewards at this time.
What kind of rewards can I expect?
By signing up for the Alamo Victory Program, you may be surprised with special discounted tickets and food & beverage offers, as well as invitations to sneak previews of new releases, exclusive screenings, T-shirts, DVDs and more! Plus, we'll give you a free movie ticket on your birthday.
How do I know when I am entitled to a reward?
Our box office staff will inform you of any surprise rewards you have when you pick up your tickets or you can review your rewards online by visiting / and signing in to your account.
How do I redeem my rewards?
Discount Movie Rewards can be redeemed in person at the box office or when making an online ticket purchase.
Food & Beverage Rewards can only be picked up in person from the box office. Simply provide the box office attendant your Victory information (email, telephone number, name, or Victory account ID) and which of your rewards you wish to redeem. A printed voucher will be given to you which you can then redeem with your server.
How do I redeem my free birthday ticket?
When you sign up for the Alamo Victory Program, we will ask you for your birth date. On your birthday, we will give you a free birthday ticket that is valid for up to one week following your birthday. Go to any Alamo box office, provide your Alamo Victory Program information (email, telephone number, name, or Victory account ID) and show a valid driver's license and you will be given your free birthday ticket.
When do I start receiving rewards?
Once you fully register for the Alamo Victory Program by completing your profile, you will be eligible to begin receiving rewards.
How do I keep track of my rewards? Do they expire?
When you become eligible for a reward, it will automatically appear on your account. You can view your rewards online by simply logging in to your Alamo Victory Program account. Each offer has an expiration date, so be sure to check how much time you have to redeem the reward.
What are the levels in the Alamo Victory Program, and how do I move from one level to another?
There are four levels -- or "ranks" -- in the program. Everyone starts at the first rank, Citizen. From there you can progress to Fighter, followed by Captain, and finally to our top rank: Commandant. As to how to move up, we'll just say that the more you visit, the faster you'll move up and Commandants spend A LOT of time at the movies! Also, the more you visit us, the more cool surprises you will receive. It's our way of saying thanks for coming to the Alamo.
I visit several different Alamo locations regularly. How do I know which locations are participating in Victory? Will all locations be participating?
All Alamo locations are participating in the Alamo Victory Program and will honor your rewards everywhere, except in the rare case that you have earned a specific reward that the location you are visiting does not offer.
How do I sign up?
You can sign up for Victory either in person at the box office or by signing up online at /victory.
Sign up online. Go to / and click the 'Join' link in the top right corner. A new window will appear where you can complete your profile. Once you have registered, you can make ticket purchases using your Victory account.
Sign up at the box office. A member of our staff will scan a unique registration number located on one of our Victory postcards. This will open a temporary account for you. Be sure to keep this postcard since you will need the registration number on the back of the postcard to complete your Victory registration. Go to the /victory page and click 'Join.' A new window will appear where you can enter your unique registration number into the 'Victory Registration Number' field. From there you can complete your Victory profile and begin earning rewards! The tickets you purchased at the theater that day will count towards your visits upon completion of your profile.

Yes. You can easily access your account on your smartphone by visiting /victory and entering your login name and password.

Your phone number gives us a quick and easy way of uniquely identifying you at the theater. Plus, we figure it's an easy number for you to remember. We will never call or SMS unless you specifically sign up for SMS alerts. (SMS alerts are not currently offered by the program). This number is only used for you to quickly login to Victory at the box office.
Why do you need my email address?
Providing a valid email address allows us to send you surprise rewards and is another quick way for you to login to Victory at the box office!
Is the Alamo Victory Program cardless? I REALLY want a card. What can I do?
Yes, the Alamo Victory Program is cardless. Many of our guests told us they didn't want another card in their wallet. But, we understand that some guests prefer cards so if you REALLY want an Alamo Victory Program card, we can provide a free card for you at the box office. If you already have an Alamo gift card, we can link this card to your Victory account free of charge. This cannot be done online. Physical cards are only available at the Alamo box office.
I lost my Alamo Victory Program membership card. How do I get a replacement card?
Visit the Alamo and a box office attendant can replace your card for free.
Can I use the ticket kiosk with the Alamo Victory Program?
Yes. If you purchase a ticket at the kiosk, you must use a Victory card to get credit for your visit. You can get a physical card from the box office attendant free of charge. Tickets purchased online can be picked up at the kiosk without a Victory card.
Can I cancel my Alamo Victory Program membership?

UPVC (or PVCu) frames are fantastic – but over time, they can fade and react to intense sunlight and prolonged exposure to the sun's rays – meaning that, in time, an extra layer of protection will be needed.

Bare Your Boobs In The Air! Like You Just Don't Care!
Yes, I am still going on about my boobies. Such are the risks of reading a blog written by a lactating mother: I can and will subject you to my reflections on the trials and tribulations of breastfeeding. And this WestJet debacle? Falls into the category of trial.
WestJet has begun responding to the letters that so many of you have written on my behalf - no, they have not responded to me nor been in touch with me directly - and the gist* of their response is this:
Dear Unhappy Person,
Please to accept this form letter that we have cut and pasted from the form letter that we sent out when the last unhappy person complained about our 'cover up your icky nursing boobies plz' policy on in-flight nursing. Note that we have not even bothered to change names in these letters, such that they refer only to the last incident and not to the one about which you complain. We are paying no attention to this most recent incident, as we believe that we adequately explained ourselves the last time - we know that some people find boobies dirty and offensive and we are concerned to ensure that those people are kept comfortable, which is why we urge nursing mothers to cover their nasty boobies while they nurse on our planes - and have not bothered to pretend otherwise.
Thank you for flying WestJet! Where federal and provincial human rights codes do not apply!
Random WestJet Owner Who Is Assigned To Deal With Annoying Customers Who Are Probably Communists And Also Maybe Perverts, Wanting To Show Their Boobies Like That.
Which, you know, makes me angry.
So now I want you to send them letters. Angry letters. Contact information is at the bottom of the original post here. And/or blog about it/write about it/pass the story along. This just sucks - again, pun only loosely intended - so much, for all of the reasons that I've outlined in the past.
I'm just so sick and tired of this. I just want to be able to nurse my baby without being confronted by society's stupid issues about boobs. I want society to get over those issues, at least when it comes to nursing boobs. I want to feel empowered when I nurse, not shamed. And I want my daughter and my son - all our daughters and sons - to see that that's how it should be.
F*ck the blanket.
* The above is my translation of their letter, which is the exact same letter sent to people who complained about an incident that occurred last month - right down to the name of the person involved.

On Facebook, World Cup is bigger than Olympics, Super Bowl combined
Through one week of the World Cup, Facebook has already seen more people having more interactions about the tournament on the social media site than it had for the Sochi Olympics, Super Bowl and Academy Awards combined.
A total of 141 million people have commented about, "liked" or shared posts on Facebook about the World Cup, the company said Friday. There have been 459 million different interactions on it.
Much of the action is international: 85 percent of the people talking about the World Cup on Facebook are from outside of the United States. There are 1.28 billion people on Facebook worldwide, 80 percent of them living outside the U.S.
"We always see a large level of conversation on Facebook around big sporting events," said Justin Osofsky, the company's vice president of global operations and media partnerships. "But what we're witnessing around the World Cup has been extraordinary."
By contrast, the Super Bowl engaged some 50 million people on Facebook, the Sochi games 45 million people and the Oscars 11.3 million people, the social media site said.
Facebook has targeted the World Cup as part of its effort to become a site with more real-time conversation and news distribution around big events, functions where many people think of Twitter first. Facebook is promoting World Cup-related hashtags, has a special World Cup-related section and heavily promotes celebrity-related posts.
A photo posted by Pitbull, who performed at the opening ceremonies, has received more than 1.2 million interactions, as has a photo posted by Brazilian soccer star Neymar, Facebook said.
Facebook is also working with other media outlets to increase its exposure. One of the most prominent is Univision, the broadcaster with the Spanish-language rights to telecast the World Cup in the United States, which is featuring details about Facebook postings on its telecast.
"In a fundamental sense, we're just getting started," Osofsky said.

Five Princeton staff members were recognized for their commitment to excellence and exceptional performance during the University's annual Service Recognition Luncheon on March 24 in Jadwin Gymnasium. In addition, two staff members were honored for their leadership potential.
Those honored as recipients of the President's Achievement Award were: Sharon Brown, special collections assistant in the Princeton University Library; Dale Grieb, director of administration and services in the School of Engineering and Applied Science; Michael Karl, manager of the procurement office in the Department of Facilities; Josko Plazonic, infrastructure operations analysis and manager in the Department of Mathematics; and Joseph Winston, technical associate at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).
The award was established in 1997 to recognize members of the support and administrative staffs with five or more years of service whose dedication, excellent work and special efforts have contributed significantly to the success of their departments and the University. The winners receive a framed certificate and a $2,000 award and have their names inscribed on a plaque that is displayed in the Office of Human Resources.
The President's Achievement Award is part of the University's Staff Recognition Program administered by the Office of Human Resources. Staff members with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years of service were presented with a certificate during the luncheon; those with 25 or more years of service also received commemorative gifts. A total of 426 University staff members with a collective 7,420 years of service were honored for their dedication this year (see "By the numbers" at right).
In remarks at the luncheon, Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman commended both the award winners and the long-serving staff members who were recognized at the event, praising their talent, dedication and commitment to excellence in their work at the University.
Brown joined the Princeton staff in 1980 in the binding department of the Princeton University Library. Today, she is a special collections assistant at the circulation desk of Firestone Library. In her nomination, Karin Trainer, university librarian, wrote, "In many ways Sharon Brown represents the 'face of the library.' She is one of the few staff known personally by many library users because of her presence at the circulation desk, the busiest service point in Firestone Library." Trainer added, "Sharon provides exceptional service to every type of customer from faculty, staff and students to guests." Joshua Katz, professor of classics, commented, "The circulation desk at Firestone may well be the best-functioning part of Princeton's library system, and Ms. Brown, who has been working there since 1998, the year in which I joined the faculty, is a leading reason for the success of this 'front-line' operation."
Grieb has worked at the University since 1971, when she began as a project secretary in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. During her time at the University she has held positions in the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, the Department of Chemical Engineering (now the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering) and the School of Engineering and Applied Science, where she currently works. As director for administration and services, she manages the school safety program, and oversees administrative, human resource and compliance policies and procedures. Pablo Debenedetti, vice dean of the engineering school and the Class of 1950 Professor in Engineering and Applied Science, described Grieb in his nomination as "extraordinary in dealing with people. Her positive attitude, open-mindedness, ability to listen and good judgment proved to be invaluable in innumerable situations involving faculty, students and staff." Garth Walters, director of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, added that she is an "exemplary 'University citizen' in her willingness to participate in all kinds of initiatives to improve Princeton in many ways."
Karl came to Princeton in 1992 as a subcontracts administrator at PPPL. In his current role, Karl oversees the procurement of design, construction and construction-related services for new construction and renovation projects within facilities. Through his work "he has supported every member of our community who has studied, taught, worked or lived in the approximately 3.5 million square feet -- one-third of the campus -- that have been constructed or renovated during his tenure at Princeton," wrote Michael McKay, vice president of facilities, in his nomination. Karl also was cited for his support to the staff members who manage and support the University's construction projects and maintenance programs. Sharon Warkala, assistant manager in the facilities procurement office, noted, "Mike is an effective team leader -- coach, really -- who lifts up all who work for and around him through his positive demeanor, his knowledge of his/our profession and his exceptional 'people skills.'"
Plazonic joined the staff in the Department of Mathematics in 2001, four years after completing his master's degree in the department. He serves as a systems administrator for both the Department of Mathematics and the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics. Curtis Hillegas, director of research computing in the Academic Services unit of the Office of Information Technology, wrote in his nomination, "Josko Plazonic has outstanding technical skills, especially in the areas of Linux system administration, programming, and software packaging. … What is even more impressive about Josko is his willingness to share his work with the rest of the University community." Sun-Yung Alice Chang, chair of the department and the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics, added, "A few sentences about his abilities could never properly sum up the dedication, the expertise, kindness and respect that he shares with everyone he works with. … Conscientious, thorough, dedicated and completely reliable, he serves as an example to us all."
Winston has been a staff member at PPPL since 1969. In his current role, he is the lead technician supervising the crews responsible for operating, maintaining and upgrading the National Spherical Torus Experiment, one of the nation's largest experimental fusion energy machines. He also has been a lead technician on several prior experiments. In his nomination, Stewart Prager, director of PPPL and professor of astrophysical sciences, wrote, "Joe's stellar use of this knowledge, driven by his powerful commitment to the PPPL enterprise, and combined with his generous tutelage and guidance of large numbers of staff and students, combines to make Joe an ideal candidate for this award." He added, "It is rare to be able to recommend for this award a University staff member who has served for 40 years and is currently performing at the top of his game."
Griffin Management Award
In addition to the President's Achievement Award winners, two staff members were honored as recipients of the Donald Griffin '23 Management Award. They were: Zia Bartley, HR events and communications specialist in the Office of Human Resources, and Rebecca Graves-Bayazitoglu, dean of Whitman College.
The award was established to honor Griffin -- a 1923 alumnus who served as the longtime secretary and general secretary of Princeton's Alumni Council -- through a gift from his son James, a 1955 alumnus; his granddaughter, Barbara Griffin Cole, a 1982 alumna; and her husband, Chris Cole, a 1981 alumnus. The award was instituted by the Office of Human Resources to recognize administrators who would like to develop their leadership and management skills. The winners receive a grant of up to $2,500 to participate in professional activities scheduled within the next year to provide new insights and perspectives, renew motivation and/or enhance skills applicable to their current responsibilities.
Bartley was hired in the Office of Human Resources in 2008. To further enhance her event management skills and to learn about industry best practices, she plans to attend the 2012 Academic Event Planner and The Special Event conferences in January. In her application for the award, she noted that by attending the conference, "I will be able to be more of an asset to the Office of Human Resources and to my colleagues throughout Princeton who also manage events across campus."
Graves-Bayazitoglu has been a staff member in the University's residential college system since 2003. She will use the award to attend the Bryn Mawr Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education in June. In her application, she wrote, "The Bryn Mawr Institute would allow me to step back, consider the work I do from a distance, enhancing my understanding of Princeton, my work and allowing me to make a more meaningful contribution to the University."

TOPEKA, Kan. — TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A Kansas man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple after answering an online ad is fighting the state's efforts to suddenly force him to pay child support for the now 3-year-old girl, arguing that he and the women signed an agreement waiving all of his parental rights.The case hinges on the fact that no doctors were used for the artificial insemination. The state argues that because William Marotta didn't work through a clinic or doctor, as required by state law, he can be held responsible for about $6,000 that the child's biological mother received through public assistance as well as future child support.
Angela de Rocha, spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Children and Families, said that when a single mother seeks benefits for a child, it's routine for the department to try to determine the child's paternity and require the father to make support payments to lessen the potential cost to taxpayers.
Marotta, a 46-year-old Topeka resident, answered an online ad in 2009 from a local couple, Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner, who said they were seeking a sperm donor. After exchanging emails and meeting, the three signed an agreement relieving Marotta of any financial or paternal responsibility.
But instead of working with a doctor, Marotta agreed to drop off a container with his sperm at the couple's home and the women successfully handled the artificial insemination themselves. Schreiner become pregnant with a girl.
Late last year, after she and Bauer broke up, Schreiner received public assistance from the state to help care for the girl.
The Kansas Department for Children and Families filed a court petition against Marotta in October, asking that he be required to reimburse the state for the benefits and make future child support payments. Marotta is asking that the case be dismissed, arguing that he's not legally the child's father, only a sperm donor.
A hearing is set for Tuesday.
Marotta told The Topeka-Capital Journal that he is "a little scared about where this is going to go, primarily for financial reasons." His attorney didn't immediately return a phone message Wednesday from The Associated Press.
Court records show that Marotta, Schreiner and Bauer signed an agreement in March 2009, with the women agreeing to "hold him harmless" financially. The agreement also said the child's birth certificate would not list a father.
But the state contends the agreement isn't valid because a doctor wasn't involved.
Under a 1994 Kansas law, a sperm donor isn't considered the father only when a donor provides sperm to a licensed physician for artificial insemination of a woman who isn't the donor's wife. The result is an incentive for donors and prospective mothers to work with a doctor, de Rocha said.
"I believe that is the intent of the law, so that we don't end up with these ambiguous situations," she told The Associated Press.
Also, the Kansas Supreme Court ruled in October 2007 that a sperm donor who works through a licensed physician can't legally be considered a child's father and doesn't have the right to visit the child or have a role in its upbringing absent a formal, written agreement. But the case involved a sperm donor who was seeking access to a child but had only an informal, unwritten agreement with the child's mother.
Linda Elrod, a law professor and director of Washburn University's Children and Family Law program, said the law seems clear: Sperm donors who don't want to be held liable for child support need to work with a doctor.
"Other than that, the general rule is strict liability for sperm," said Elrod, who filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the Supreme Court case.

Before I got married, people used to tell me that brides never eat during the wedding – they are too busy walking around, talking to guests, thanking for presents...
I might not have eaten tons of food during the wedding but not because I was terribly busy. I did talk to everyone and it was wonderful to see all those dear faces on such a magical day for me, but that was my day and I wanted it to be about things I like doing. That's why I danced a lot – so much my shoes were off by the end of the night – and enjoyed the moment with Joao to the fullest, with a slice of cake and ice cream on the side.
The catering company we hired prepared a snack box for us to take to the hotel – that was so nice! There were a lot of sweets in the box and they were delicious – I could enjoy the ones I hadn't eaten during the wedding. :)
I am telling you all that because my Brazilian buddy Fernanda is hosting an event about wedding sweets and candies, which is something absolutely traditional here in Brazil.
I'm taking part on the event with these truffles; the ones I had on my wedding were plain, with just a touch of brandy, but I wanted to add an unusual ingredient for Brazilians that goes so well with orange – cranberries.
White chocolate, cranberry and Cointreau truffles
adapted from here
300g good white chocolate
¼ cup (60ml) whipping cream
1 ½ tablespoons of Cointreau or other orange flavored liqueur
½ cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
1 teaspoon grated orange zest or rind
½ cup (70g) icing sugar
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler (bain-marie).
Warm the cream in a saucepan or microwave but be careful not to scald.
Add the warm cream to the chocolate (still in the double boiler) and mix together until evenly combined.
Remove from heat, add the Cointreau, cranberries and the grated zest and beat the mixture until smooth – chocolate will look curdled, don't worry. Just beat well until glossy again.
Cover and refrigerate the mixture until it has set, 4 hours or overnight – remove mixture from fridge 10 minutes before rolling the truffles.
With a small spoon or cookie scoop roll small balls of the mixture.
Dust the truffles by rolling them in icing sugar and refrigerate again until hard.
Place into small paper or foil cases to serve if desired.
Makes 25-30

Root Canal in Bethesda
A root canal is one of the most common dental procedures performed, well over 14 million every year. This simple treatment can save your natural teeth and prevent the need of dental implants or bridges. At the center of your tooth is pulp. Pulp is a collection of blood vessels that helps to build the surrounding tooth. Infection of the pulp can be caused by trauma to the tooth, deep decay, cracks and chips, or repeated dental procedures. Symptoms of the infection can be identified as visible injury or swelling of the tooth, sensitivity to temperature or pain in the tooth and gums. If you experience any of these symptoms, your dentist will most likely recommend non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. Capitol Endodontics provides root canal therapy to Washington and surrounding areas.
Apicoectomy in Bethesda
Generally, a root canal is all that is needed to save teeth with injured pulp from extraction. Occasionally, this non-surgical procedure will not be sufficient to heal the tooth and your endodontist will recommend surgery. Endodontic surgery can be used to locate fractures or hidden canals that do not appear on x-rays but still manifest pain in the tooth. Damaged root surfaces or the surrounding bone may also be treated with this procedure. The most common surgery used to save damaged teeth is an apicoectomy or root-end resection.
What is an Apicoectomy?
An incision is made in the gum tissue to expose the bone and surrounding inflamed tissue. The damaged tissue is removed along with the end of the root tip. A root-end filling is placed to prevent reinfection of the root and the gum is sutured. The bone naturally heals around the root over a period of months restoring full function. Capitol Endodontics provides Endodontic Surgery to Washington and surrounding areas.

Listen. I've realized that if I try to arrange the notes and photographs from the trip into a neat, coherent, chronological set of entries, I will never get around to showing you anything at all.
So I'm going to post things as and how they occur to me. If you find the scattershot approach disconcerting, please consider that at least you are not trapped in my living room watching me click through slides while Dolores rests her head on your shoulder.
My very first note from this trip–scribbled after a stroll up Regent Street on arrival day–was this:
I know perfectly well that not every guy in England is fashion plate. But the tweedy peacocks of Central London reminded me of the joy I used to take in dressing myself, and while my closet hasn't been set on fire it has come under close scrutiny. Time will tell whether I improve myself in any significant way. It can be tough to do while living in a city where a nice, clean Ohio State sweatshirt is considered suitable for an evening wedding.
We took the train from King's Cross Station
to Cambridge. I had never been there before.
My friend Liz lives there, and was graduated from Clare College, so she knows her way around. She took us places we would never have known to go, and told us things the tour guides would not have known.
This is Liz.
She's a knitter (to put it mildly). The fantastic hat is by Woolly Wormhead and was finished while we were eating lunch.
Here are a few things we saw in Cambridge. (There will be more. These are the shots closest to hand.)
King's College Chapel and some of Clare College, from the river. (Click to embiggen.)
Had it been snowing, this would have been the cover of my favorite Christmas record, A Festival of Lessons and Carols. I would like to thank King's College, Cambridge, for looking exactly as it was supposed to look.
The Colleges of Cambridge put every other academic landscape I've ever seen (and I have seen far, far too many) in the shade. You can't move five feet without finding something like this polychrome archway in St John's College looming over you. (Again, click to embiggen.)
The Colleges, of course, are on the beaten path. Well off the beaten path was All Saints, a church only lately rescued from dereliction and neglect that was decorated by leading lights of the Arts and Crafts Movement. (There is a handy guide to the windows above the altar showing which designer–Burne-Jones or Morris–was responsible for which saints.)
There was a pottery sale going on in the church, and while Tom and Liz browsed I wandered freely and photographed things.
The walls–all painted and stenciled–were not to be believed, even those still awaiting conservation.
There was a time, you see, when artists didn't consider it a waste of time to apply their talents to the decoration of mundane things like walls. And there was a time, you see, when people hadn't been conditioned by the lazy brutality of Modernism to accept the ugly, inhuman, undecorated box as the only form of construction. (Dear Mies van der Rohe, I hate you and you can suck it.)
There's more. But it'll have to wait a little while. I'll aim for tomorrow.

The Eagles are gripped now by chaos. There is no other way to look at it. With four games remaining in a down-spiraling season, just hours after a late-night loss in Cowboys Stadium, they abruptly fired defensive line coach Jim Washburn, apparently telling him not to let the door hit him in the wide-9 on the way out.
In the midst of an eight-game losing streak, they now have fired a defensive coordinator (Juan Castillo), a defensive end (Jason Babin), a defensive line coach (Washburn) and, just for fun, a couple of front office executives.
As it turns out, even Nixon's final days were more orderly than Andy Reid's.
Washburn had, fairly or not, become a symbol of everything that had gone wrong with Reid's tenure as coach. He was brought in as part of a radical overhaul of the coaching staff in 2011. He brought with him what was viewed by some as a gimmicky scheme, the wide-9 defensive front, and he was brought in and hired before Reid decided on a defensive coordinator. It was done exactly backward -- and then, when Reid promoted Castillo, his offensive line coach, to be the defensive coordinator, the scheme and the setup and the coordinator made for a trifecta of dysfunction.
It was the kind of gamble that Reid had never taken before. It was the kind of haphazard decision-making that was the exact opposite of Reid's careful persona. Now, here we are.
I saw Washburn leaving the locker room after Sunday night's loss to the Cowboys. He was dressed in a suit and tie, as is the custom, and he looked kind of mad at the world, his red face contrasted against his silver goatee. I didn't think anything of it as Washburn left, by himself, and headed for a team bus -- because after eight straight losses, everybody associated with that team either looks angry or looks like they just witnessed a car wreck.
That Babin was one of Washburn's favorites went without saying -- he resurrected Babin's career when they were together in Tennessee, and Babin flourished as a pass rusher for the Eagles in 2011 -- and the team's decision to fire Babin last week could not have been Washburn's idea. That Washburn's personality could be prickly also was not in dispute; he and offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg got into it on the sidelines at one point last season, you will remember, and Washburn was very open about being concerned only with his guys and his scheme. Whatever happened behind them was somebody else's problem.
In recent days, all of those elements must have been shaken into a toxic cocktail -- and it had to be toxic, because there is no way you fire an assistant coach in December for anything short of toxic. And while it speaks to Washburn, and to the perils of losing in the NFL, it speaks more to the head coach.
The thing has spun completely out of control now for Reid. The questions get harder, the answers get weaker, and the one thing you could always say about Reid -- that he was organized, that he could make the trains run on time, and that his teams were always modeled after his persistent, consistent personality -- is now being questioned in the cacophony of 3-9 and the certainty that Reid is about to be fired.
Chaos now defines. Chaos, and losing.

These are key issues facing President Obama as he delivers the first State of the Union address of his second term on Tuesday night, Feb. 12.
Surprisingly, these were also key issues facing President George Washington some 223 years ago, when he gave the very first state of the union speech.
It was January, 1790. Washington, the first president of the newly united states of America, offered up a PowerPoint-ish report to the combined houses of Congress at Federal Hall in New York City.
The mood of the country was cautious optimism, says Edward Lengel, editor-in-chief of the George Washington Papers at the University of Virginia. "Washington appeared steady at the helm, and government appeared to be working with reasonable efficiency."
There was uncertainty, however, and it was too early to tell whether the new form of government would endure. "There was serious Native American unrest on the frontier, and the French Revolution created a sense of instability overseas, and possible war," Lengel says. Still, "the country had entered a period of relative economic prosperity ... and the question remained: What to do next to ensure that prosperity continued?"
And, Lengel says, "there were early signs of division within the government."
'From Time To Time'
The Constitution requires that the president "shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."
So Washington -- who had only been in office for less than nine months -- presented his First Annual Address, a four-page speech of 1,100 words or so. The whole thing could not have taken more than about 10 minutes to deliver, says Stuart Leibiger, a George Washington specialist at La Salle University. "Washington was not much of an orator, and so he literally read the speech."
In the address, the former military general acknowledged certain national problems, such as defending the new country, taking care of diplomats abroad, paying off the Revolutionary War debt and handling noncitizens.
Focusing Congress
Donna Hoffman, a political scientist at the University of Northern Iowa and co-author of Addressing the State of the Union: The Evolution and Impact of the President's Big Speech, says that Washington "generally sought to focus Congress' attention on various legislative matters, without offering specific recommendations -- unlike what we typically see in today's speech."
Analyzed today against the backdrop of 21st century America, Washington's speech is still rousing, revolutionary and relevant. And full of surprising echoes of our own time. Here are a few:
* Be Armed. "A free people," Washington warned, "ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies." Washington meant that the Congress needed to provide for national security, says Leibiger, "by enacting a tariff to promote industries vital to defense, and by creating a peacetime military establishment. Washington was trying to overcome traditional fears of standing armies during peacetime."
* Be Open. "Various considerations also render it expedient, that the terms on which foreigners may be admitted to the rights of Citizens should be speedily ascertained by a uniform rule of naturalization," Washington said. The United States, says Lengel, had to wrestle with "the meaning of citizenship in a post-colonial world. This meant the political and social integration -- or exclusion where deemed necessary -- in some form of German settlers, ex-Hessian soldiers, ex-Tories and British merchants, French and Spanish traders and the like."
* Be International. Washington recommended that Congress provide adequate funding for the country's foreign relations corps. "The interests of the United States," Washington said, "require that our intercourse with other nations should be facilitated by such provisions as will enable me to fulfill my duty in that respect in the manner which circumstances may render most conducive to the public good." In addition, he asked Congress to pay diplomats and to set aside enough money "for defraying the expenses incident to the conduct of foreign affairs."
* Be Fiscally Responsible. Praising Congress, Washington said, "I saw with peculiar pleasure at the close of the last session the resolution entered into by you expressive of your opinion that an adequate provision for the support of the public credit is a matter of high importance to the national honor and prosperity. In this sentiment I entirely concur." The speech calls on Congress to address the national debt -- created by financing the Revolutionary War -- so that the nation's credit rating would not suffer, Leibiger explains.
The 1790 speech also suggests that Congress develop the transportation infrastructure and provide for education -- two more issues relevant to then and now, Leibiger says.
Bonus: Be Cool. Working to solve the national problems, Washington also reminded Congress, calls for "the cool and deliberate exertion of your patriotism, firmness and wisdom."
President Obama could do worse than to echo those words -- and tell Congress to stay cool -- when he speaks Tuesday night.

I started out by organizing our paint bins, so now we know where to find our tools and paint supplies are when it comes time to get our painting on. Then, I transferred all of our paints into smaller, easy to use touch up paint jars. Love.
Many of you mentioned that I should add the room/project and paint codes on the jars as well. But I didn't for a few personal reasons {what works for each of us is always different right?}:
- The jars tops were small and my labeling space was limited.
- I use the same color in multiple rooms and for additional smaller projects.
- I most likely wouldn't want to take my touch up paint jars out with me when searching for additional room elements or having more paint mixed.
{click HERE to download your FREE copy of the Paint References Printable} |
It was super simple for me to print out a few of the sheets, and only took me an episode of Glee to fill it all out.
I basically just walked from room to room, jotting down paint projects from each space, then, used the original paint cans to transfer over all of the details.
Q-Tips worked great for adding the paint colors to the document.
I am by no means a paint expert, so hopefully all of the details I have listed would quickly be able to get me a replacement can of paint in a crunch {brand, color name, sheen, paint code and a swatch}. I also found this paint website to be helpful in finding out details for my current paint colors as well.
As for where I will be keeping the actual list of colors? I am in the process of working on another project that this list is perfect for! So stay tuned for those details soon {hint hint, it includes a binder}.

Boston Blasts:Mother Becomes More Consrvative of Dress,Religion With Age,What Else is new ?
And she doubted the 'official' U.S. government 9/11 story and on that one issuse is saimply correct in my opinion and it did cause hatred and animosity against Moslems 'coincidentally' and was and is a LIE ! Ias an American am perhaps even more torn apart by the fact that Israelis Menachem Atzmon and Ezra Harel, et.al.,of ICTS International connected to the fascist Israeli government guarded Logan Boston airport on 9/11 than the mother of the Chechens accused in the Boston Matarthon bombing could ever be !
And again it was the CIA and its terrorist supporting and training Graham Fuller that was directly responsible for facilitating the immigration of the Islamic Chechen Tsarnaev family to begin with - so NOW they warn us ?! Ha.He married one !
In photos of her as a younger woman, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva wears a low-cut blouse and has her hair teased like a 1980s rock star. After she arrived in the US from Russia in 2002, she went to beauty school and did facials at a suburban day spa.
But in recent years, people noticed a change. She began wearing a
hijab and cited conspiracy theories about 9/11 being a plot against Muslims.
Now known as the angry and grieving mother of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, Tsarnaeva is drawing increased attention after federal officials say Russian authorities intercepted her phone calls, including one in which she vaguely discussed jihad with her elder son.
In another, she was recorded talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, US officials said.
Tsarnaeva insists there is no mystery. She's no terrorist, just someone who found a deeper spirituality. She insists her sons - Tamerlan, who was killed in a gunfight with police, and Dzhokhar, who was wounded and captured - are innocent.
"It's all lies and hypocrisy," she told The Associated Press in Dagestan. "I'm sick and tired of all this nonsense that they make up about me and my children. People know me as a regular person, and I've never been mixed up in any criminal intentions, especially any linked to terrorism."
Amid the scrutiny, Tsarnaeva and her ex-husband, Anzor Tsarnaev, say they have put off the idea of any trip to the US to reclaim their elder son's body or try to visit Dzhokhar in jail.
Tsarnaev told the AP on Sunday he was too ill to travel to the US Tsarnaeva faces a 2012 shoplifting charge in a Boston suburb, though it was unclear whether that was a deterrent.
At a news conference in Dagestan with Anzor last week, Tsarnaeva appeared overwhelmed with grief one moment, defiant the next.
"They already are talking about that we are terrorists, I am terrorist," she said.
Tsarnaeva arrived in the US in 2002, settling in a working-class section of Cambridge, Mass. With four children, Anzor and Zubeidat qualified for food stamps and were on and off public assistance benefits for years. The large family squeezed itself into a third-floor apartment.
Zubeidat took classes at the Catherine Hinds Institute of Esthetics, before becoming a state-licensed aesthetician. Anzor, who had studied law, fixed cars.
By some accounts, the family was tolerant.
Bethany Smith, a New Yorker who befriended Zubeidat's two daughters, said in an interview with Newsday that when she stayed with the family for a month in 2008 while she looked at colleges, she was welcomed even though she was Christian and had tattoos.
"I had nothing but love over there. They accepted me for who I was," Smith told the newspaper. "Their mother, Zubeidat, she considered me to be a part of the family. She called me her third daughter."
Zubeidat said she and Tamerlan began to turn more deeply into their Muslim faith about five years ago after being influenced by a family friend, named "Misha." The man, whose full name she didn't reveal, impressed her with a religious devotion that was far greater than her own, even though he was an ethnic Armenian who converted to Islam.
"I wasn't praying until he prayed in our house, so I just got really ashamed that I am not praying, being a Muslim, being born Muslim. I am not praying. Misha, who converted, was praying," she said.
By then, she had left her job at the day spa and was giving facials in her apartment. One client, Alyssa Kilzer, noticed the change when Tsarnaeva put on a head scarf before leaving the apartment.
"She had never worn a hijab while working at the spa previously, or inside the house, and I was really surprised," Kilzer wrote in a post on her blog. "She started to refuse to see boys that had gone through puberty, as she had consulted a religious figure and he had told her it was sacrilegious. She was often fasting."
Kilzer wrote that Tsarnaeva was a loving and supportive mother, and she felt sympathy for her plight after the April 15 bombings.
But she stopped visiting the family's home for spa treatments in late 2011 or early 2012 when, during one session, she "started quoting a conspiracy theory, telling me that she thought 9/11 was purposefully created by the American government to make America hate Muslims."
"It's real," Tsarnaeva said, according to Kilzer. "My son knows all about it. You can read on the Internet."
In the spring of 2010, Zubeidat's eldest son got married in a ceremony at a Boston mosque that no one in the family had previously attended. Tamerlan and his wife, Katherine Russell, a Rhode Island native and convert from Christianity, now have a child who is about 3 years old.
Zubeidat married into a Chechen family but was an outsider. She is an Avar, from one of the dozens of ethnic groups in Dagestan. Her native village is now a hotbed of an ultraconservative strain of Islam known as Salafism or Wahabbism.
It is unclear whether religious differences fueled tension in their family. Anzor and Zubeidat divorced in 2011.
About the same time, there was a brief FBI investigation into Tamerlan Tsarnaev, prompted by a tip from Russia's security service.
The vague warning from the Russians was that Tamerlan, an amateur boxer in the US, was a follower of radical Islam who had changed drastically since 2010.
That led the FBI to interview Tamerlan at the family's home in Cambridge. Officials ultimately placed his name, and his mother's name, on various watch lists, but the inquiry was closed in late spring of 2011.
After the bombings, Russian authorities told US investigators they had secretly recorded a phone conversation in which Zubeidat had vaguely discussed jihad with Tamerlan. The Russians also recorded Zubeidat talking to someone in southern Russia who is under FBI investigation in an unrelated case, according to US officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation with reporters.
The conversations are significant because, had they been revealed earlier, they might have been enough evidence for the FBI to initiate a more thorough investigation of the Tsarnaev family.
Anzor's brother, Ruslan Tsarni, told the AP from his home in Maryland that he believed his former sister-in-law had a "big-time influence" on her older son's growing embrace of his Muslim faith and decision to quit boxing and school.
While Tamerlan was living in Russia for six months in 2012, Zubeidat, who had remained in the US, was arrested at a shopping mall in the suburb of Natick, Mass., and accused of trying to shoplift $1,624 worth of women's clothing from a department store.
She failed to appear in court to answer the charges that fall, and instead left the country.

"I had my entire dissertation on a flash drive, which the dog had started to chew! Of course when I put it into the computer it unsurprisingly wouldn't work. I was at my wits end as I didn't have the data anywhere else.
These lovely people managed to get my dissertation back very quickly,and for a very reasonable amount of money.I'm forever in their debt.
Oh, and I got a 2.1 degree, so there was a very happy ending."
