SANTA MONICA (CBSLA.com) — A Culver City woman who was carjacked by the 23-year-old man suspected of killing five people in Santa Monica Friday told her terrifying tale in an interview Monday with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
COMPLETE COVERAGE: Santa Monica Rampage
Laura Sisk said she was on her way to watch her nephew in play when she ended up on Yorkshire Avenue, where the suspect, John Zawahri, had just shot and killed his father and brother and set the house on fire.
"He just appeared in the middle of the road, pointing a machine gun at me," she said. "He was dressed all in tactical gear from head-to-toe, sort of a medium-sized person. Brown hair. Pointing the gun, saying, 'Pull over. Pull over.'"
Sisk said that's when Zawahri shot at another car and then at hers.
She pulled over and suggested Zawahri just take her car, but instead, he got in the passenger seat.
"He starts yelling at me to drive down the street and basically just giving me directions. 'Go right, go left, go straight.' Until we got to a red light at which point he opened his door and started firing on the bus next to us and into the cars coming towards us. And that's maybe 20, 30 rounds, I don't know," Sisk told Cooper.
Sisk said Zawahri appeared winded and calm when he got back into the car and told her to drive to Santa Monica College.
During the ride, Sisk said, "I kept saying, 'Don't hurt me. I have kids.' He said, 'How old are the kids? Calm down, you'll be all right. Don't do anything stupid.'"
Sisk continued, "I tried to escape from him but the direction I was facing was right into a cement wall and I would have had to turn around and go back past him, so I entered the campus on pedestrian sidewalks and drove through the campus, wildly screaming at people to go the other way."
Sisk said she afraid there was a bomb inside the suspect's bag and that's why she didn't crash her car on purpose.

Part 5, Finishing A Story Summary and Analysis
What to Do When You're Stuck
Every writer goes through a rough patch when he cannot work out how to proceed in a story. Very often it is the end or near the end of a story that it becomes most troublesome. Perhaps the writer does not know enough about his own character to finish the story. The writer might be attempting to build a bridge from a weak thread of the story to its conclusion. The writer may not be consulting his creative side. If the writer feels the story is becoming boring, it is probably a call for drastic cuts. If the writer has the idea and it is wording or phrasing that is escaping him, he should proceed with his idea—which is the most important element—the words and...

Duke Nukem Forever Trailer Has Giant Pigs, Naked Chicks And Tons Of Blurred Out Content
If you have ever played a Duke Nukem game then you know Duke is outrageous, but as this most recent Duke Nukem Forever trailer proves you have no idea how outrageous he can get. I predict that this game will attract all kinds of objections and outrage and you know what, Duke wouldn't have it any other way. I mean no other game hero could get away with half the stuff Duke does and almost none of the stuff he says. He isn't politically correct, his manners are crude at best and he pretty much doesn't give a damn. After watching this trailer, the only question I have is how in the world did they get this game just an "M" rating? Those guys at 2K are geniuses or something or the ESRB is getting way more lax. Check the trailer and let us know what you think.

The Grain and Grain Processing Information Site
Every year, scores of new or updated products and services for flour milling come on the market. One place millers can easily obtain information about these items is the Association of Operative Millers' Annual Technical Conference and Trade Show.
Whether veteran or first-time participants, millers say one of the event's key benefits is the chance to see numerous products and services and discuss them with suppliers and colleagues. A special feature of this information exchange is the annual "What's New?" program, which consists of 12 suppliers chosen by the A.O.M. program subcommittee to present papers on products or services of specific interest.
World Grain summarizes the presentations given at this year's "What's New?" program, held in May at Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.
With common fumigants coming under increasing restriction, heating up flour mills to kill insects is drawing much interest. Aggreko, Inc., New Iberia, Louisiana, U.S., provided information on this option, including the use of temporary, portable heat sources.
The capital costs of installing a permanent heat source can be high, often making temporary systems more cost effective. Aggreko's portable heat sterilization program provides complete services, including fume-free electric heaters, silenced containment generators, distribution and cable lines and set up and tear down work.
The mill may remain in operation during set up, which takes about eight to 12 hours. Depending on the desired temperature and pests to be killed, the heat up period requires six to 12 hours, the hold period takes six to 24 hours, and the cool down period takes four to eight hours. The mill may begin operating as soon as cooling is complete, even during the tear down stage.
Avoiding product contamination is imperative for flour millers, and Blower Engineering, Lewiston, New York, U.S., featured a combination base silencer to meet this requirement.
The base silencer is made without packing or sound-absorbing material that could result in product impurities. Instead, expansion and compression chambers in conjunction with ported tubes flatten sound waves and smooth out air pulsations, decreasing sound levels.
There are no pockets or voids to collect dust, and cleaning is simple and quick. The construction also allows for a greater clearance under the equipment, and discharge pipes may be located out the end, top, bottom or sides.
Attention to quality and economy are critical at every stage of processing, including wheat cleaning. To facilitate elimination of impurities with the lowest possible energy input, Buhler, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S., presented its MTKB Combi-cleaner, which is equipped with an air-recycling unit.
The Combi-cleaner joins the functions of four machines in one unit that employs a minimum of power and space. These functions consist of grading according to size (separator), grading according to specific gravity (concentrator), separation of stones (destoner) and separation of dust (aspirator).
In new installations, the Combi-cleaner allows the size of the aspiration system and its filter and fan to be reduced; in facilities that are being rebuilt or are undergoing capacity increases, the Combi-cleaner eliminates the need to expand the filter system.
Separations based on differences in kernel length are featured in the design of the Heid Segmented Cylinder Separator. Offered by Cimbria Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, an affiliate of Cimbria Unigrain, Thisted, Denmark, the machine comes in a wide range of sizes, with cylinder diameters from 400 mm to 900 mm and lengths from 1,000 mm to 4,000 mm.
To achieve accurate separation, Heid developed its own tooling to produce three different indent pocket designs teardrop, spherical and drilled. Each pocket style is made to perform specifically for different product separations; for example, the spherical pocket is best suited for long grain separation, such as removing wild oats and barley from wheat.
The high capacity design reduces the number of cylinders needed; the smallest model handles 1 tonne of wheat per hour, and the capacity of the largest model is 20 tph. The system also includes reclaim cylinders, designed to recover any good product of either the long or short material in the screenings on stream.
Monitoring and controlling mill processes and output can improve product consistency and mill profitability. The new MillView Yield Management Instrument presented by Comptrol Computer Control, Inc., Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is a microprocessor system that provides live data in graphs and reports to help millers observe and adjust various milling processes.
MillView is a highly enhanced, user friendly version of Comptrol's original Extraction/Split Monitor. The Mill-view's many features include detailed charts summarizing data for each scale; display and print capability for available reports, including data by production run, shift, day or month; the ability to change production, set alarms and monitor extraction trends; and various administrative functions, including customizing a setup table to label flour and streams.
Advances in packaging equipment and components have led to greater operator efficiency. Fawema Packaging Machinery, Inc., Sarasota, Florida, U.S., described advanced servo motors and controls that are reliable and easy to program. Incorporating servo systems in machine designs eliminates wear parts and enables quick changeover. Servo systems can be easily enhanced to suit the application.
Applications in Fawema bag packagers include the auger filler drive, replacing clutch-brake systems and improving speed and accuracy, and indexing, which eliminates cams and followers and allows adjustments to maximize machine speed.
Fawema also provides interactive control panels that can be programmed to suit specific machine applications. In addition to normal operator controls, the interactive panel includes an LCD readout and a serial interface for access to reports, machine status and maintenance schedules.
The Kleen-Masse self-cleaning enmasse conveyor was the subject of the presentation by InterSystems, Inc., Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.
The Kleen-Masse conveyor is adaptable because it may be configured in numerous horizontal or inclined segments of up to 60° with bend sections. This flexibility enables the system to convey 45% to 100% more material in the same amount of space using less horsepower.
Liners are quickly replaceable without parting or removing the chain, and liner fasteners are positioned clear of material flow. Lid clips allow immediate access to any conveyor section without tools. The Kleen-Masse system is totally enclosed for a clean enviroment.
Since its commercial introduction a few years ago, the Kice KSU 1000 shortflow flour mill unit has been commissioned successfully at 10 locations in North America and Europe. Kice Industries, Inc., Wichita, Kansas, U.S., manufacturer of the KSU Shortflow Unit, unveiled a new shortflow mill, the model Kice KSU 2000, so named for its base nominal rated daily capacity of 2,000 cwt, or about 91 tonnes of flour. The KSU 2000 can produce two types of flour and one or two feed products.
The shortflow unit's compact design and modular construction ensure low building costs and capital investment and reduced power consumption and operating costs. Its modular construction enables easy expansion with the addition of more milling units.
The shortflow unit is a complete flour mill, fully equipped with PLCs, cyclones, pneumatic conveying systems and sifters. Other features include storage, conveying, cleaning and tempering systems for grain, as well as conveying and storage systems for finished products.
To meet the increasing demand for small, economical flour milling units for remote or isolated areas, Ocrim America, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S., a subsidiary of Ocrim S.p.A., Cremona, Italy, presented the PKF compact milling unit for wheat, maize, barley and other grains. The unit, measuring 12 meters long, 2.45 meters wide and 2.9 meters high, is easily transported on a low-bed trailer.
Updating the concept begun with its earlier UMM mobile milling unit, Ocrim used the latest technology based on an eight-passage flow diagram. The mill is supplied totally pre-assembled and is equipped with central control board, compressed air system and electrical and pneumatic connections.
The milling unit consists of a cleaning and a milling section built over a fixed metal structure; tempering bins are installed over the structure. The unit includes turbosifters and a two-section plansifter. Power consumption totals about 43 kilowatt-hour per tonne of processed wheat.
Economical production of low fat, high quality flaking grits, brewers and meal was the inspiration for a new maize degerminator described by Johnson Sangati, Kansas City, Kansas, U.S., affiliate of Sangati S.p.A., Padova, Italy.
The machine combines the functions of hulling and separating germ in the same unit and is well suited for production of coarse hominy grits. The machine's features include a rotor configuration that reduces power consumption and a design that allows easy inspection and quick replacement of wear parts.
The design also enables the operator to increase the extent of degermination and retention time. Adjustments can be made on the outside of the degerminator by means of socket bolts.
A newly designed rollermill, debranning technology and compact mill engineering have come together in the PeriCom system introduced by Satake U.K., Stockport, U.K. The system is designed to meet the demand for pre-engineered design, modular construction, containerized delivery, rapid entry into production and quick return on capital investment.
Among the new Rollermill SRMA's features is a compact Rollpack module, for which a patent is pending. The design enables removal and replacement of the Rollpack unit in a minimum period of downtime; the current record is 15 minutes.
The VCW two-step debranning machine removes up to 10% of bran, enabling simplification of subsequent breaks without compromising performance. Power consumption in the VCW unit has been reduced by 25% from the previous debranning system model.
The PeriCom system comes in a variety of units for different end products and capacities, ranging from 27 tonnes per day for high extraction flour to 91 tonnes for soft wheat milling.
Product damage from in-transit shifting and movement can be avoided with proper bracing. Shippers Paper Products, Mount Pleasant, Tennessee, U.S., presented information on its Space-Brace reusable bulkhead that can withstand forces in excess of 23 tonnes.
The Space-Brace allows center loading for equalized weight distribution and ensures truck or railcar shipments are secure. The reusable bulkhead disassembles for handling ease and flat storage, can be recycled and is 100% biodegradable.
The company's reusable Fill-M3 void fillers are designed for use with the Space-Brace. Because the filler's inside core is not exposed, it retains its strength, avoiding spring-back. The fillers also disassemble for flat storage.

This tutorial was written by Livia @ Liv Luvs Scraps on June 8, 2009 and is my own creation. Any resemblance to another tutorial is a coincidence! DO NOT take anything from this site and claim it as your own, including my ideas. Anything you create from this tutorial is yours, as long as you don't make any money out of it. Please remember to only use images/tubes that you hold a license to, or are free for personal use. (Check an artist's TOU before using their work!)
Supplies you'll need:
Tube of choice – I'm using a tube from Deedlith for the first tag, and one from Lola Palacios for the second tag (at the bottom).
Scrap kit of choice – the kit I'm using is "I Know What You Are" by Kirsty's Scraps, which may be purchased here
Filters [OPTIONAL]: * Eye Candy 5 Impact (a pay filter, sorry!) OR Eye Candy 3.1 (now a free filter) – you can find it for free if you search for it on Google :) [Or you can use version 4, if you have it!] You'll be using the Glow/Gradient Glow filter.
REMEMBER…Save your work often!!!
I will be referring to specific elements from the kit I've used, so if you aren't using the same kit, use the elements you like from your kit of choice. At the bottom of this page, I've included an example using one of my own kits, to see that you can make this tag with any kit of your choosing. :)
This tutorial assumes you have knowledge of Paint Shop Pro and its features.
Open up a 600x600 canvas – you can resize it later. Fill the canvas with white (for our background).
Now open up the tube you will be using, duplicate it (so you don't accidently do something to the original!) and close the original. Minimise this – you won't need it for now.
Open up a bracket frame from your kit – if your kit of choice doesn't contain one, you can use a regular frame, make one yourself or use a mask of choice! Totally up to you :) If your kit has a single bracket, you can make it into a 'frame' quite easily. Just copy it, mirror it. Then copy the two brackets and rotate by 90 degrees! :)
Copy the frame and paste it on your canvas. It should automatically be centred, but if it isn't, centre it :) Resize if you need to.
Next, open up a paper of choice from your kit [I'm using Paper 6 from I Know What You Are, which I'll be calling IKWYA from now on...to simplify things LOL]. Duplicate it and close the original.
On your duplicate paper, draw out a circle with a preset shape (doesn't matter what colour it is – you'll only be using it as a template!) Make it big enough to fit on your canvas – if it's too big, don't worry because you can resize it! :) Convert this circle to a raster layer.
Now select all (ctrl+a), float (ctrl+f) & defloat (ctrl+shift+f), and you should have those little marching ant things around your circle. Now go to Selections/Invert, click on your paper layer and press the delete button.
Delete the circle template that you made. You should now only have your circle made from your paper of choice. Copy it & paste it on your canvas on the layer above the bracket frame.
Now choose an embellishment of your choice (I chose IKWYA-HeartBox), copy it and paste it as a new layer on your canvas. Move it to the bottom left of your canvas. Resize if you need to.
The next thing I did was open the Chicken Wire embellishment from IKWYA and paste it on my canvas. If your kit has a similar element, you can do the same. If it doesn't, don't worry. You can add an overlay of glitter, or another kind of overlay, or leave it blank. Be creative! After all, it's your tag! :)
The circular wordart is next – I chose the shadowed version in IKWYA.
If your kit doesn't have any word art like this – don't worry! Here's a simple way to make your own:
Open a new canvas the same size as your tag – in this case, 600 x 600. Draw out a circle using your preset shape. Leave it as is (don't convert it to a raster layer!). Click on the text tool, then put your mouse on the edge of the circle – if you see an 'A' with a rounded line underneath it, click. Pick the colour & font of your choice and type your words in. Keep typing until there's enough to make a circle. Apply your text. Make the circle layer invisible. And merge visible. You now have your own circular word art! In the second tag, I used the script "Edwardian Script" and used a colour from my tube. I also added a gradient glow around it.
Copy & paste it to your tag canvas, and resize if you need to. Add a drop shadow of choice.
If you don't want a word art, maybe you can make a circular glitter frame, or scatter some flowers or glitter in a circle shape! That might look nice! :)
It's now time to add your tube to your tag. So open up your duplicate tube that you minimised earlier, copy it & paste it onto your tag. Resize it if you need to. Add a drop shadow of choice.
Pick another embellishment from your kit of choice – I chose IKWYA-Butterfly-1. Copy & paste it onto your canvas, resize it (I resized the butterfly to 40%) and add a drop shadow of choice. Move him to the bottom right of your tag, making sure this is the top layer on your canvas.
Time for your name or word of choice! If your kit has an alpha, great! Use that! I used the alpha from IKWYA, and resized the letters (50% for the upper case, 30% for the lower case).
If your kit doesn't have an alpha – make your own!! Type the word in a font & colour of your choice and add whatever filters, settings or effects you like! You can make them metallic, glass, bevelled, textured...completely up to you!!
If you want to make your alpha stand out, using Eye Candy (whatever version you have), add a thin glow (aka gradient glow) around them. I used white, but you could use whatever colour you want!
Move your word to the right of your tube, and then add a drop shadow to your word if you like.
Now all you have to do is add the copyright/licensing info, and your watermark!
Trim the canvas if you need to...
Save it as a JPG...and you're done!!!

Now isn't that a strange name for just about any sort of thoroughfare? Who would have thought that there could be a real street or road named Souls Road? Yet if you run a simple search in Google for that term you'll turn up lots of entries for streets and roads all over the world that have that same name.
Now that makes me wonder where they might be located. Are they near a cemetery? Do they lead into a cemetery? Where they the roads that so many people made their last journey down before coming to their final resting place? The names of streets and roads can tell us much about the past history of a place and this is one road name that speaks volumes.

If You Happen to Get Bored . . .
I am oft aware of the reality that what I write or contribute to my blog can be boring or appear irrelevant to you. Therefore, I have added a feature to my simple blog called "links". I know, wow - he knows how to put up links! Though I am technically deficient and blogically (there is no such word) stunted in acquisition, I have made these links available for two reasons: I love them, and I think you might enjoy browing through them. That way, when you get bored, there is something even then for you. Hope you enjoy. (By the way, if you haven't seen them, they are on the right side of the page.)

Pardoned gay, Steven Monjeza, has for the first time come out in the open to declare that he 'regrets being pardoned by the State President, Ngwazi Professor Bingu wa Mutharika'.
Monjeza was speaking to Zachimalawi in an exclusive interview before entering the Chilangoma First Grade Magistrate Court o answer to charges of theft and burglary.
Monjeza said he has always had the impulse to steal, "even when I have everything I need", a "longtime problem" he blamed for his latest scratch with the Penal Code.
"I regret being pardoned by the State President, Professor Bingu wa Mutharika. I say this because, by doing what I did (stealing a cellphone and charger), I have behaved in a way that seems to mock his good intentions. I regret doing this," said Monjeza.
He said, upon reflecting on whatever he has done after being pardoned by he African Union chairperson, he finds that he would have benefited more had he remained in prison.
"I would not have stolen, he way I have done. Again, I would have enjoyed the support of many well-wishers because ours (being convicted for unnatural sex) was a human rights issue. My fear, now, is that nobody will help me and I may starve in prison," said Monjeza.
Monjeza has been convicted by the Chilangoma First Grade Magistrate Court on two counts of theft and burglary.
He stole a phone belonging to a friend, Tony Chirwa, along with its charger.

Good Lord, I'm stuck in a time loop
Despite all my attempts to mature mentally, I can't seem to not pay attention to what's happening with fucking Digimon. Yes, I know the story is two months old and in that time I wasn't paying attention, but a recent forum topic got me to check back. It's even worse that now that I know there's another season coming, and it will likely be picked up by a Canadian network, I'll more likely than not catch it every once in a while. I could go through a Cronenberg marathon and not be fully redeemed.
I will never escape the age of 12. Unless I'm fortunate enough that canvas life and sociology courses will beat that shit out of me.
This title also seemed appropriate, as my friends and I spent last night listening to vintage records on the player my friend recieved for his birthday. If playing Smash Bros. to The Rolling Stone's Some Girls is not a complete representation of my life, I could probably think of something else, but it's still a pretty good representation.

Digging for votes among the turds
Dutch MP calls for ban on Quran
A Dutch member of parliament has called for the Quran to be banned in the Netherlands, describing it as a "fascist book" which calls on people to kill non-believers and rape women.
Geert Wilders, leader of the far-right Freedom Party, called for the ban in a letter published in De Volkskrant newspaper.
In his letter, Wilders compares the Muslim holy book to Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler's autobiography, and said the Quran has "no place in our constitutional state".
"I have been saying this for years: there is no such thing as a moderate Islam," Wilders wrote.
Wilders' Freedom Party holds nine seats in the Netherlands' 150 seat parliament.
Call for ban
Wilders also said several chapters in the Quran "call on Muslims to oppress, persecute or kill Christians, Jews, dissidents and non-believers, to beat and rape women and to establish an Islamic state by force".
The publication of the letter comes after a weekend attack on Eshan Jami, a young Dutch politician, who established a group to support people who have renounced Islam.
Jami, who was not visibly injured in the attack, is now under police protection as is Wilders.
"Ban this wretched book like Mein Kampf is banned! Send a signal to Jami's attackers and other Islamic radicals that the Quran cannot be used in the Netherlands as an inspiration or an excuse for violence," Wilders said.
Wilders acknowledged that his plan would not receive majority support in the Dutch parliament.
"I am fed up with Islam in the Netherlands: no more Muslim immigrants allowed. I am fed up with the worship of Allah and Muhammad in the Netherlands: no more mosques," his letter concluded.

Keywords: crystalline colloidal arrays, Bragg diffraction, polystyrene spheres, HEMA, poly(ethylene glycol)dimethylmethacrylate 200, contact lenses
We demonstrated the feasibility of making contact lenses from polymerized crystalline colloidal array material to produce beautiful sparkling colors. This material is mainly a poly[HEMA-(ethyleneglycol) 200 dimethacrylate] hydrogel with a crystalline colloidal array (CCA) embedded in it. The CCA material is composed of nanoscopic spheres of polystyrene latex particles dispersed in water. These particles self assemble in an aqueous medium to form a three-dimensional array that efficiently Bragg diffracts visible light producing colors from blue to red depending on interparticle spacing. We used spheres of diameters between 106 to 170 nm. The CCA structure was well preserved within the poly(HEMA) hydrogel giving the contact lens models beautiful sparkling violet, blue, blue-greenish, green and yellow colors. These lens models were fabricated with a transparent central area and a colored annulus that can alter or enhance the natural color of iris. In the second embodiment we fabricated lens models that are made of polymerized crystalline colloidal array diffracting material. Such lenses may be used to filter specific wavelengths of visible light providing the sport enthusiast with better visual perception of small objects like tennis and golf balls.

Quadrat hanging
We often talk about the beauty and functionality of things. But there are more than those:
The form and function could be changed during the usage of the object, according to the subjective taste, respective situation and space.
Through "Quadrat1", which contains no specific function, it will be observed; how could people be inspired ? how would they make use of it ?

Genres Are For Weaklings
Video Rental | Pennsylvania, USA
Customer: "What movie just came out on video that's like Lord of the Rings?"
Me: "I'm not sure, we haven't gotten any big titles this week and definitely nothing that's like Lord of the Rings…"
Customer: "Well, I saw a commercial that said, 'Now available at your local *** Video'…and this is my local *** video."
Me: "Hmmm, let me check with another manager." (I call up to the office)
Me (to manager): "What came out this week besides Jeepers Creeper?"
Customer: "JEEPERS CREEPERS! That's it!"
Me: "We have that, but it's nothing like Lord of the Rings."
Customer: "Yeah it has monsters in it, it's like Lord of the Rings." *customer walks away*
Another employee: "You should tell him to rent The English Patient too. It has talking in it, so it's like Lord of the Rings."

Leading me to ask: what on earth is this and what is it doing in my kitchen drawer?
Oh wait! Now I have my glasses on it I can see that it says 'instrument to split convolulus vegetable made of inox metal'. I don't know why I didn't realise that straight away.
The question must also be asked: will I live long enough to make good use of all these cocktail sticks?
Would anyone? Yet it looks as if they came in a set making me think that maybe cutlery is old hat and I should be using sticks to eat my everyday meals.
Or maybe not.

Glen did a fantastic job rebuilding the walls on my deck, working on a beautiful weekend to get the job done before rains came in. I would recommend these folks to anyone.

This company did excellent, quality work on our renovation. Knowlegable, on time, and attention to detail. Very easy to work with and will use again. No surprises and dependable.

RL Hayes remodeled all 3 of our bathrooms, 2 down to the studs. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the work. Our plumber, Mark, moved pipes so everything we wanted could fit; without him, we would have had to "settle" instead of having the bathroom of our dreams. Our foreman, Mike, was on the job every day by 8, supervising and doing much of the work himself, very meticulously. The tile man was a marvel. Everything was done in a craftsman-like manner, with attention to every small detail. Our bathrooms are beautiful, thanks to the folks at RL Hayes.

We wholeheartedly recommend RL Hayes to anyone needing quality work done on their home. Two things really stand out about Royce and his people and that is integrity and quality. They are honest, trustworthy, very knowledgeable and they are true craftsmen. We went through many months of initial design with them and then undertook a massive 8 month remodel of our lake home. We added a screen porch with a huge stone fireplace, extended the existing basement and added a lower garage. We finished the basement, moved the laundry room, reconfigured part of the kitchen, and added a stone and tile deck, many stone retaining walls and very large drainage system. We replaced all the windows, doors, siding, roof, gutters, and painted the house, it was a huge project. They did a tremendous job all the way around and we love how it all turned out. Everything was done with the utmost quality and care and it was done in a way that was designed to last. We consider Royce not only our builder but our friend now and we would trust him with any project that we might have in the future.

I would never work with anyone but Royce Hayes and his company for a remodeling project. We used them for several projects (bathroom, basement, kitchen and deck). I am always happy to recommend him to anyone who is considering remodeling. The quality of work is excellent, but more importantly I think the quality of the people who work for him is what makes them so successful. I was impressed with how polite they were and with their efforts to keep everything neat and clean during construction. They are the best!

Here is our story. Our house has a Juliet balcony which the developer didn't want to do, but we insisted. 6 mostly drought years later massive rot had set in due to failure of standard paint-on waterproofing. We found Hayes through internet search. The decking system looked like a huge improvement and railings looked far better than developer deck-type original. Price was great, they came right out, very happy with workman and the result is our balcony looks much better and we are convinced this outdoor vinyl system combined with their great attention to the perimeter sealing will last forever.

My wife found RL Hayes on the internet and we were impressed with the detail and quality of their experience and knowledge (although their bid was not the lowest) and met with one of their references who lived near us. After a 7 month total renovation of our home (removed walls, added 2 rooms, moved the kitchen) we liked them more than when we started. I would recommend Royce to anyone for any job.
Posted: 8/26/2009 • Link to this review
I recommend you consider RL Hayes for your next project. I am the happy recipient of multiple projects over the years and give Royce and the staff my highest recommendation! They deliver top quality results packaged with honesty and integrity!
Posted: 8/25/2009 • Link to this review
R.L. Hayes is the best! We had them remodel our front porch due to some leaking from wood rot on the original structure. They were professional and did a great quality job! Every step of the way, the work was done in the highest quality manner. I never felt like they were taking any short cuts. I would HIGHLY recommend Royce and company if you want your project done the right way. I actually recommended R.L. Hayes to several of my friends and they received the same awesome job. From small jobs to large projects, they are the best.

Duradek was amazing! It was such a relief to find such a great company with reasonable prices. They were very kind and prompt with getting the work done. The project took only about a week, but we had a lot of work done. After all, my family and I are very pleased with Duradek and will be using them for our paint project next summer!
My husband and I needed a lot of work done to our home, however we didn't wish to be taken advantage of either. We needed the old wallpaper taken down in our kitchen, and then new paint added in several places of our home. Duradek took the time to really put us at ease during the beginning, middle, and end of the project. Everything looks perfect and I highly recommend them.
They came out and quoted and completed a job replacing rotten wood and repainting my deck and certain parts of my home. I am pleased to report that we had a positive experience with duradek. They have a wonderful customer service department. They left me feeling totally pleased and I would be happy to send business their way, which is why I highly recommend them!
We just had them stain our deck and were very pleased with the end result. They were very prompt in scheduling a estimate. They were very professional throughout the entire process and kept us up to date on the project. They even followed up after the work was done. Will definitely use them again.

Not usually a pink girl - and was nervous when I heard about the Pantone pick, but now that I realize it's more of an orangey pink, I'm warming up to it! Pink can actually be an incredibly neutral accent - looking forward to seeing how it plays out!!

Yes, the WSJ had a great article about it on Sunday. This color and flower reminds me of my dear Blanche. She actually took a few snips from the coral pink honeysuckles while she and Carl were visiting Wahsington's Mount Vernon. Her bedroom was pale pink!!!! She started the cuttings and her perennial honeysuckles blossomed into a small business selling the plants to all her friends and neighbors in Louisville.

I have to be very honest PVE,,,I am not a fan of pink, especially for interiors, and I shuddered at the news of this colour forecast. However I do love pink in nature, in flowers (used inside and out) and in little girls rooms or female use spaces and I love it in clothing and accessories, and candy, and champagne! But I think that's the extent I will be enjoying the colour of the year. Who know's....I may be inspired otherwise.

((c) mrch0mp3rs) View 3 more images (Newser) – Pearl Jam is slamming AT&T after the telecom company censored its Webcast of the band's performance at Lollapalooza Sunday. Lyrics telling George Bush to "leave this world alone" and "find another home" during the Chicago show vanished from the streaming version of the gig; AT&T blames an "overzealous" editor for excising the lines, the Chicago Tribune reports. "We don't have a policy in place to censor," an AT&T spokeswoman said. "This was an honest mistake. There was no censorship intended." On its website, Pearl Jam raises the issues of media consolidation and net neutrality, adding, "it's about something much bigger than the censorship of a rock band." View 3 more images

In Advocation of Video Projects
June 3, 2013
I'm trying to say what really matters. Because I don't have much time left.
None of us do, really.
So, I'm trying to say what I need to say.
I thought for a long time what I would make this blog about. And it took a while before I decided I would write a post In Advocation of Video Projects.
I decided this because Video Projects were one of the most fun things I did in High School. This has less to do with the projects themselves, and more to do with the people I did them with. Video Projects were this ultimate excuse to spend a day with a great group of people, just joking around on camera.
Whether it was reenacting a scene from Shakespeare for English or explaining a theory in Math or…teaching a lesson in AP Chemistry, Video Projects were always a blast.
Most recently, I made a video for AP Chemistry. More specifically, I made:
An Idiot's Survival Guide: How to Survive AP Chemistry (In 10 Simple Steps)
Before I paste the link in here, I'd like to clarify a few things. First! I'm a sap. And the end of the video gets pretty sappy. Second! Unfortunately, Mr. Portis felt that if I wanted to get a grade higher than a C…I had to actually put "educational information" in my video. It had to be "worth-while". Sometimes that Mr. Portis can be pretty crazy. Anyway, that means that there are a few…serious parts in the video.
All in all, I hope you enjoy it. The link is below.
I had so much fun making that video. It was the perfect way to finish off my Senior Year. Especially my Senior Year in AP Chem. Because whether we like it or not, AP classes start to hold a sentimental value as the year progresses. It's hard to spend an entire year with 20 other kids in one class and not feel some kind of attachment to them.
Anyway, to all the teachers of this world: Maybe video projects don't always work the best with helping students understand material…but they sure are fun.
They sure are worth it.

What's on the menu to night for dinner? Recently we made one of Zach's favorite meals, chicken Tetrazzini.
At one point in time, I had his mom's recipe, but I lost it. Thank you, allrecipes.com! This was was equally tasty...considering we "sort of" followed it, as usual.
Not pictured: Cooking a mix of veggie noodles and regular spaghetti. (Believe me...not just because the colors are prettier...because if I am going to make a pasta meal 3 times in one week, I have to at least try and make the carbs a bit more healthy.) Added: Shredded Chicken.

UN official praises Pakistan's cooperation -DAWN - Top Stories; December 24, 2008
By Anwar IqbalWASHINGTON, Dec 23: A senior UN official has said that Pakistan has extended full cooperation in implementing UN sanctions against Jamaatud Dawa and Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Richard Barrett, the Coordinator of Security Council's Al Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Monitoring Committee, told CNN-IBN in New York that the United Nations had received "across-the-board" cooperation from all Pakistani civil and military agencies.
The committee is responsible for monitoring sanctions imposed by the Security Council on individuals and organisations declared terrorist.
Mr Barrett said he found "very good atmosphere of cooperation" in all his dealings with officials in Pakistan, "whether it's the government, elected officials, ministries, the intelligence services or the army".

In this guest post, Keshet Bachan, gender equality activist and blogger at The XX Factor, questions whether mobile phone applications addressing street violence are an effective way to prevent violence against women. What do you think?
Can mobile 'apps' really prevent or discourage instances of violence against women? This question has been on my mind since a colleague shared this video from Voice of America about a mobile app called 'Fight Back', marketed as 'India's first mobile app for women's safety'.
The video sparked an email discussion that raised some interesting questions that deserve a closer examination.
The VOA story provides a holistic view of violence against women and the developers of the mobile phone application admit that they are but one element in a broader system that needs to respond to instances of violence. They discuss the involvement of police and other duty bearers, such as…

Elements of Elephant #StillmanAndBirn #LunarBlue #Zentangle
On Monday's post I shared a watercolor painting that I did using Daniel Smith's Lunar Blue. I wanted to play with it some more, so I covered a couple of pages in my Stillman and Birn Delta sketchbook, and set about to discover how it does as a background for Zentangle-Inspired Art.
I'm not as pleased with the results as I thought I would be, but I've got another page to play with, and I learned a lot from this one.
The Lunar Blue gives the impression of great texture. All those wrinkles are an illusion, though. I covered the entire page, then dropped color wet-into-wet here and there. And then I spattered. I like the look of the spatter, but wishes I hadn't done it once I got started.
This elephant, and the one in the lower left corner, popped out at me right off. I saw the other two as I was tangling. So there was no doubt in my mind that this was going to be an elephant-themed page, lol.
So what problems did I encounter? You can probably see it in the photo above. If you use enough pigment, and apply it after the page is already saturated with color, Lunar Blue becomes quite a dark gray. That means it fights for dominance over the black ink pen that I used (Ohto Graphic Liners in varying sizes). The page is just too busy.
I tried to overcome this by going very heavy with the ink, knowing it probably wouldn't work, but hoping for a pleasant surprise. I shouldn't do that, lol.
Once I finished tangling, I used a Sakura Moonlight Fluorescent Pink Gelly Roll pen to get more of a value range and help the tangles stand out. But that elephant still didn't work.
Reluctantly, I glazed him with a light wash of Zinc White. That helped him stand out, but ugly? Oh yeah. I lifted away a little of the glaze, but saw that it was just getting uglier, and decided to let it go, lessons learned.
I know to keep my Lunar Blue lighter if I want to add black ink line work. Definitely no splatter. The other page is lighter than this one, but still too dark for black ink. The pink gel pen showed up much better, but based on my watercolor painting on Monday I think a full of transparent colors is a better choice. I probably won't get that done until the weekend, but hopefully I'll have more adventures with Lunar Blue to share with you next week.

day bed, any one?
sofas are big purchases, and this one was my first adult purchase, a mere 5 years ago. i had it repaired once-not even 2 years ago-to address the terribly uneven wearing and sagging, but the problem has only worsened since then.
so lately i've had couches on my mind. with a relocation in this keen eye's near future, i can see the day i invest in a new sofa. this is great for a few reasons: my current sofa is not just unsupportive, it has ceased to fit well with my aesthetic; i won't have to take it with me when i move, nor feel bad about leaving it behind; i can spend a lot of time choosing my new perch!
i'm currently obsessed with the ubiquitous mid-century day bed, which comes in a range of prices, conditions, and configurations, as seen below.
the benchmark: the case study daybed designed to furnish the houses in the case study project, sponsored by john entenza. this original 1950s design is now manufactured by modernica.
i really like this contemporary design from design within reach, the twilight sleep sofa, designed by fleming busk. i do think, though, that it is better suited to a home office/spare room
then there is this daybed, which frequently appears on ebay with various upholsteries. this one isn't the most glorious, but the low price is right. i'd love to have one to reupholster.
and if vintage isn't your thing, then check our urban outfitters for this newly made version. i don't think it's quite as lovely, but it would do in a pinch!

little circus designs
but we're back, and breaking out of the felt rut. i just love these prints from little circus designs.
little circus is madeline stamer. inspired by a childhood spent in the neighborhoods and nature of melbourne australia and an adolescence roaming the streets of melbourne's graffiti scene, stamer's art is keenly personal, yet very accessible. it also feels full of life, the natural world, folk art, vintage fabric, mexican culture.
here are a few of my favorites:
lucky fertile rooster
a new work, fierce protectors

Felt Friday: (Part 2) Random Roundup!
Yorktown Road: working out of northern california, this seller makes modern accessories for the home. the products are simple and charming and always pleasing to the eye (did we mention that the photography is superb?!).
this mini-runner would be great on a bookshelf or credenza : and these coasters (backed in repurposed leather) would provide a great pop of color to any room:
Papaver Vert: another west coaster! founder and artist patty benson knew from a young age (like 6!) that she wanted to create and to share her creations with the world. each piece is hand made from scratch using the old world and labor-intensive craftsmanship of hand felting wool from its semi-raw form. They are made from the softest of 100% merino wool, which makes them not only luxuriously soft but a renewable and eco-friendly material.
this plant holder would be perfect as a catch-all for your knick-knacks or for holding a leeeettle 3" potted plant: this pencil cup is 100% wool and has strips of black leather laced through grommets to create sections for your pencils and pens:
and these 2-square pillows are hand felted from 100% dyed Merino wool and feature a large filled square in the front and a smaller one on the back. they have a leather strip closure that can be tied in different ways: and finally that brings us to 0049. 0049 is svenja and anika, two germans working in australia with shared interests in fashion, graphic design and marketing. the business name is derived from the german international dialing code (+49) and is something unique to our "heimat" (home country) - kinda like their products!
this felt notebook cover is made with 100% wool and comes with a lined A5 notebook and an elastic to keep hold of all your treasures you carry around: these felt storage boxes are perfect for keeping your little treasures in place: and finally, these little cases can be used as a sunglasses case or a pencil pack! cute!
Felt Friday: (Part 1) Random Round-up!
carga bags: recycled felt bags hand assembled in buenos aries, using recycled industrial felt sourced in brazil.
brocade home's laser cut felt rugs: roost pebble felted rug from velocity art and design (seems like it would feel so nice on the toes!):colorful felt pebbles from branch home:chrysanthemum laser cut placemats: laptop cover: botanical table runner: cappelletti rug (another good one for the toes):

Felt Thursday: (Part 2) Kathryn Walter
next up: kathryn walters. a visual artist and designer, kathryn's interest in felt is inspired by a family connection to it going back four generations. in 1997, she began researching the material and published a book on it for the Textile Museum of Canada. she loves its sustainability as a renewable, recycled fiber -- in addition to its aesthetic value.
kathryn is also the founder of FELT, a company that specializes in industrial manufactured felts and is unique in its commitment to a material rather than a market.
her products are the epitome of modern style: durable, versatile, and eco-friendly.
log tote (so cute!):
saving the best for last - the hanging pearl lamp: you can learn more about kathryn and FELT studio here.
Felt Thursday: (Part 1) Working Class Heroes
first up, working class heroes.
inspired by the era when things were actually made with attention to detail, working class heroes create high quality products from the best materials in their studio in vienna. one look at their felt and leather creations says it all.
this laptop wallet is made from 3mm grey german felt and finished with cotton herringbone. sleek!
this mousepad is sturdy and simple and looks great: and how about the ipod cases? love 'em. finally, who couldn't use a waterproof case for their moleskine? they all look so touchable!
you can find more about working class heroes at their website and get the goods on etsy.

Felt Wednesday: Etcetera Media
their products are made of industrial felt imported from Germany - 100% wool, 3 mm thick (keeps those electronics safe!), and naturally water resistant. any fabric used is high end upholstery fabric by knoll - usually eco-friendly or recycled, ultra stain resistant, heavy duty and very durable.
this 6-pack wine rack would go perfectly with your josh jackus winepocket! - and it collapses flat for easy storage. coasters seem to be a common item in the felt world...but i won't argue. especially when they look as chunky and gorgeous as these dipped and stamped ones. just love the way the orange and grey work together.etcetera media also makes a great series of felt bags and cases. the stockholm is one of my favorites - and it comes in black, grey, olive, and red. and finally, check out these cute hearts made from the felt leftovers. lots of uses (they give you 10 right there), but i think they'd be great as a trivet or just tossed in a bowl. you can find out more about etcetera media (and shop) at their website or at their etsy shop.

Felt Tuesday: Josh Jakus
my favorite of his designs is the eggflat. the eggflat evolved out of an experiment in bending surfaces along seams. it folds flat for storage and unfurls to hold coins, keys, fruit, and other small treasures. also, individual units can be joined laterally to form a landscape of sorts. sneaky! another favorite is jakus' winepocket. the result of an exercise in reducing the amount of material and labor required to protect wine during transit, the winepocket stores flat then expands to fit most bottles. the opening also doubles as a handle. and finally, let's talk about the um bag. these are awesome. measuring as tall as a bottle of wine and as wide as a bundled-up Sunday Times, the um bag is comes in the standard grey pressed felt - but you can choose between four different designs and a blue, grey, green, or orange self-locking zipper. and check out how the bags unzip flat! and finally, we've got some coasters - remnants from making the circular handles for the um totes and winepockets. the coasters are linked by a single seam of heavy orange thread.
you can buy josh's creations on his website, or lots of web retailers, including one of our favorites, branch home.

Felt Monday: Pia Wallen
and also felt.
i've been collecting links to my favorite felt-goods for a while now, and no week seems more appropriate than this chilly one, so for the next few days, it's gonna be felt-central around here.
first up: a selection of beautiful felt goods by swedish designer Pia Wallén. Pia has been desigining goods for over 20 years and often she looks to history for inspiration, combining tradition with fantasy, old with new. you'll also notice her use of traditional swedish materials, technique, and colors which, above all, reflect the northern climate she calls home.
some of my favorites:
these felt boxes are 100% wool and perfect for storage of slippers, magazines, toys or accessories.
these cute-as-a-button coasters are available in 6 different colors.
cozy wool slippers with anti-skid bottoms perfect for bummin' around the house while keeping the toes warm.
and finally, i have a feeling it's way out of my price range (4350 SEK sounds expensive), but oooh, this crux blanket looks so snuggly.
you can find more Pia Wallén goods right over here, including some absolutely stunning jewelry. check out this sterling silver, felt lined bracelet:green blanket from sweetgeorgia.

Sorry for the lack of content and comment releases these past couple of days but Google insisted they didn't recognize me and I would have to change my password. I resisted, but they finally beat me. Am currently in Hays KS, headed for Nashville and my co-driver's car. after that I'll be back home. Maybe late tonight? More likely tomorrow morning. Hays seems to be in a black hole as far as my phone is concerned but presumably I'll be back on the grid when I get to KC this morning (hope springs eternal).
The itinerary changed for some very good reasons, which I cannot explain right now, but this has been a hugely successful trip. One of the folks i stopped to visit with in SLC was Jesse Trentadue and he directed my attention to some documents that are part of the public record that are just stunning. In fact, I have to say that the FBI is now on record -- sworn under oath -- that their FOIA system is designed to be unresponsive. The Chafetz hearings on the 3rd were a dog-and-pony show, headlined by Melanie Ann Pustay, Director of the Office of Information Policy, who started out bragging out about Obama's 19 March 2009 directive during what they called at the time "Sunshine Week." The only "sunshine" apparent in the hearings to me was that being shined as a distraction in Chaffetz' eyes by Pustay.
The hearing focused on FOIA training but the documents and testimony developed by Jesse's lawsuit indicate that the FBI will give important assignments to absolutely untrained personnel as PART OF THE COVER-UP. Being unfamiliar with the multiple layers of security behind which the FBI hides documents, the designated newbies will check one database and find nothing, thereby answering the request with "no documents found." There was nothing in the hearing about an agency deliberately not finding documents, or how they accomplish that. The testimony was exclusively about delay in responding and the claim of exemptions. Certainly delays and unfounded claims of exemptions are irritating and costly if you have to sue to get them. But that is not insurmountable if the FBI states they have documents and a Court reviews and rules upon the Bureau's claim of an exemption. In other words, a judge will decide whether or not you get the documents.
What is insurmountable is when the FBI says there are no "responsive documents." When that happens, the US Attorney asks for summary judgment, the judge bangs the gavel and the case is dismissed. The only way to pry that door open is if you already have documents in your hand from other sources -- hardly a usual occurrence. The documents and testimony I am reading now are convincing that the FBI has in place a system designed NOT to find sensitive/embarrassing documents. And Chaffetz didn't come close to getting at that. It is a story that I will be breaking upon my return to Birmingham. In its own way, it is every bit as damaging to the legitimacy and reputation of the FBI and DOJ as Fast and Furious.
Another story that we will be following up is the BLM's reign of terror over the past decades in Josephine County OR with their squads of serial arsonists -- which have killed innocent people living on mining claims in the past. The federal government owns 71% of Josephine County and they treat it like a feudal barony. Chaffetz' committee could profitably spend weeks in hearings getting to the bottom of that scandal. I intend to try to motivate them to do so. Stay tuned, dear readers, to some breaking stories headlined "Sipsey Street Exclusive" in the near future.
This has been the longest and more tiring road trip I've ever done. I will not be able to duplicate it again for a while, yet I must get out to Yakima for the background-check-free Arms Expo on 20-21 June. After that, it is my intention to do a raid into New York and CT in late summer, breaking laws and daring them to do anything about it. I will be frank. The budget is bare. This trip, because of unexpected contingencies, has been far more expensive than I thought and that's even after the generosity of folks along the way. It is obvious too that I need to see to my communications and come up with another reliable pad (already have that part worked out) and phone communications. These things cost. I hate jingling the tin cup, but I don't know what else to do. This trip was, even given the epic fail of the media plan in Salem, a success by any measure. It has wiped me out physically (I always burn the candle at both ends when I do these things) and I could not have done it without the manful exertions of my co-driver, but I intend to keep at this as long as God gives me breath and y'all give me the support. What I am asking for here is not more support for those who have already beggared themselves in the past, but new sources from those who like my work but haven't yet contributed. I hope you'll keep me in the field until God calls me home, whenever that is.
