Building a New Michigan
In 2009, Michigan's economic situation was dire. Almost half of all U.S. jobs lost during the Great Recession came from our state. Per capita income fell below the national average, and our population was shrinking.
At Business Leaders for Michigan, we knew we needed to act quickly. Our members—seasoned business and education leaders—came together to see what they could do to fix Michigan's troubled economy. The result? The Michigan Turnaround Plan (MTP), a holistic, fact-based strategy for making Michigan a "Top Ten" state for jobs, personal income and a healthy economy.
Since it was first introduced in 2009, much of the MTP has been accomplished, thanks to our business, community and elected leaders—and the hard work of the public. We can see the results—new jobs, higher personal incomes, and population growth. Michigan's finances are more stable. Our tax system is fairer. The state's long-term debt has been reduced, and unnecessary regulations have been eliminated.
Michigan's turnaround is well underway. But we can't stop now. We've laid the foundation to build a New Michigan—a "Top Ten" state that produces more good jobs, higher incomes and a healthy economy for years to come.
Our New Michigan Plan lays out the crucial steps to reach that goal. It's a shared playbook we can use as we work together to make Michigan a winner over the long term.
You hold the keys to a New Michigan in your hands. Join us, and we'll build it together.

Anachronism needs Fred
Fred Boyce can be unreasonable. He can be grumpy and ill-tempered. He ranges from determined to downright stubborn.
It's largely these qualities that have allowed him to do the seemingly impossible.
I don't know if anyone remembers the Prism in the '80s, but it was in its death throes. Thanks almost entirely to this one guy, the Prism has become one of the most revered venues on the East coast. The building has been hugely renovated and there's a top-notch sound system, a full digital recording set-up, and a link to WTJU for live broadcast every Saturday. It's a destination point for touring acts that should have no business playing in such a small room (from Norman Blake to Dave Matthews to Lunasa to John Hartford to so many others).
Volunteers alone can't keep the Prism alive. Without Fred and Kenyon, there is no way that this anomaly, this throwback, this anachronistic establishment (and I mean that in the best possible way) would still be alive.

Google's Android 3.0 OS, codenamed Honeycomb, may never come to the smartphone market.
Since tablets have been announced using the new operating system rumours have been abound that a potted-down version will be coming to smartphones.
But when asked by TechRadar if the new OS would be coming to mobiles in the future, Dave Burke, Director of Engineering of Android at Google said: "We took the opportunity with Android 3.0 to enhance the UI.
"Right now it's a tablet operating system."
However, the spokesperson also said that in the future Google would like to unite the numbers systems [to stop Android 2.x being for smartphones and Android 3.x for tablets].
Unified future
"I think that coming together is a good idea. What we're trying to do here I make a base platform that's so good, that others only need to add native elements in their core areas.
"We wanted to make the whole UI better - it shouldn't be necessary to customise the texting widget with the Honeycomb UI.
"We don't think one size fits all with Android, but sometimes changes [people make to the UI] miss the point - then again, sometimes it amazes us."

Even as most conventional lenders avoid commercial real estate altogether, Sunwest Bank is carving a niche in seniors housing. The Tustin, Calif.-based bank began lending on retirement projects in 2009 after studying the market for several years.
"There's a great opportunity now for community banks like Sunwest," says Benjamin Frank, vice president and relationship manager at Sunwest Bank.
Community banks are thought to have stronger balance sheets than many large banks and could be a source of capital for seniors housing owners and operators who need to refinance their properties.
Large lenders are busy with existing loans, notes Meredith Oppenheim, senior vice president at real estate investment banking firm Savills in New York. "They're working through situations on their books before they lend more money."
So far in 2009, Sunwest Bank (no relation to Sunwest Management, the troubled Salem, Ore.-based assisted living company being restructured) has refinanced three assisted living properties. The bank also is weighing whether to finance new projects. "There are good construction deals out there," says Frank.
For now, Sunwest is positioning its seniors housing loans as a bridge to the permanent financing available from the government-sponsored entities (GSEs), including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD. "It's a good niche for us," says Frank. GSE loans have kept the seniors sector afloat while other commercial property sectors have languished for lack of financing.
Sunwest does not underwrite its loans assuming that GSE financing will be available, even though in some cases Sunwest already knows the property will qualify. "If we hold the property for 15 to 20 years, we feel comfortable with that," says Frank.
Ridgeline Management of Eugene, Ore., recently borrowed $2.8 million from Sunwest Bank to refinance an assisted living facility in Eureka, Calif. "A lot of banks didn't have money to lend," says Dennis Garboden, who owns Ridgeline, along with Dr. Chuck McGlade. "You have to be persistent."
Ridgeline operates 17 properties in 10 states. Most of the properties are assisted living facilities. Both Garboden and McGlade have ownership stakes in all but two of the properties managed by Ridgeline.
The Eureka property, Alder Bay Assisted Living, has 36 assisted living units and three cottages for independent seniors. The average rent is $3,200 a month. Garboden and McGlade, along with other investors, purchased the Alder Bay building in March 2006.
The building had been struggling with low occupancy. Once that problem was corrected, Garboden says Sunwest refinanced the property and the investors were paid off.
In general, Sunwest makes three- to five-year loans amortized over 25 years with maximum loan proceeds of approximately $8 million. Interest rates for a three-year loan currently range from 7.25% to 7.5%.
Seniors housing loans are underwritten more like a business loan than a real estate loan, says Frank, noting that the bank charges a higher interest rate for seniors housing loans than it does for other types of commercial real estate financing.
He explains that if a borrower defaults on an assisted living building, for instance, the property must be resold as an assisted living facility, which limits the pool of potential buyers.
Sunwest Bank has four offices in Southern California. To date, the bank's financing of seniors housing properties has been limited to California, although Frank says the bank will consider projects outside the state.
Conventional lenders probably won't flood the retirement housing market anytime soon. "Seniors housing has a learning curve, and not all lenders are willing to understand it," says Frank. Fortunately, the industry has the GSEs and some community banks like Sunwest to pick up the slack, he emphasizes. "We plan to do more in seniors housing."

Private lobbying groups for cities, counties get public pensions in at least 20 states
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) � Hundreds of lobbyists in at least 20 states get public pensions because they represent associations of counties, cities and school boards.
Legislatures granted them access decades ago on the premise that they serve governments and the public. In many cases, such access also includes state health care benefits.
But several states have started to question whether these organizations should get such benefits, since they are private entities in most respects: They face no public oversight, can pay their top executives private-sector salaries and sometimes lobby for positions in conflict with taxpayers.
New Jersey and Illinois are among the states considering legislation that would end their inclusion.
But such groups argue that they are entitled to public pensions because they give a voice to government entities that serve taxpayers.

Man avoids arrest by climbing a 30-foot tree | Crime
Land O' Lakes, Florida -- Ray Charron spent several hours eluding Pasco deputies in a very unusual spot. He ran and climbed up in some trees!
On Friday, Nov. 16, around 2 p.m., Pasco County deputies say Charron pushed an adult off of the bike and loaded it in his pickup truck and took off.
When a deputy confronted Charron, he fought that deputy and decided the best way to avoid arrest for theft was to climb 30-foot high tree.
The deputy called for backup and the Land O' Lakes community of Lake Padgett Estates soon became quite a scene with deputy patrol cars, flashing lights, and television cameras. Finally, after 11 hours Charron surrendered.
He has been charged with strong armed robbery, battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence.

Why be a follower?
Gregg Webb's CD-ROM/e-book The Book That Doesn't Exist And More! shows how to twist ideas into tricks and routines that are completely different from the mainstream -- resulting in an alternate approach to magic.
The CD contains nearly 500 pages from magic newsletters Gregg wrote, richly illustrated, and circulated privately over a four-year period. Webb uses personal examples to show you how he creates unique magic.
The range of material is staggering! Lots of tricks with cards and coins. Also mentalism effects, magic with bills, tricks with improvised pendulums, mind-reading stunts with soda-pop cans, ESP demonstrations, tricks with children�s jacks, blindfolded poker deals, voodoo, and pure sleight of hand galore. Gimmick enthusiasts will also find new uses for invisible thread, magnets, pulls, postage stamps, and poster putty(!).
Included are Gregg's secrets of billiard ball manipulation -- also complete manipulation routines and advice for other props such as playing cards, linking rings, and rope. And, he includes LOTS of bonus material.
A lover and master of sleights, Webb also recognizes the importance of shortening long tricks. He chooses practical subtleties and sleights rather than rehashing the latest moves that might otherwise flash. Readers learn how to break away from the mainstream and not to perform others feats exactly as written!
Gregg is especially interested in applying dodges and new approaches to clean up for example, he doesn't favor lapping and considers it to be impractical in most venues.
Learn to think OUTSIDE THE BOX and create NEW BOXES TO THINK IN. Gregg Webb explains the thought process in a fun and humorous way of breaking away from the crowd, changing the conventional wisdom to fit YOU, and tinkering with your routines. You'll find your magic is different from the rest, and not just THE SAME!
Learn why there is more than one way to skin a black cat from a master manipulator, thinker, and teacher.

Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) comes together in solidarity and resistance with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the Oceti Sakowin (The Great Sioux Nation), and the thousands of water warriors defending their land and livelihood from the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). If construction is completed, the DAPL will transport 450,000 barrels of fracked and highly volatile crude oil per day from the Bakken fields of North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois. As US Military Veterans and Service members, many of whom have witnessed first hand the degradation and pollution caused by war, we denounce this corporate environmental catastrophe in the making.
Preparing to give a talk to the Stop the War coalition in the UK, I've reflected on 15 years of war. I spent the first five years in the military and most of the time since then working to transform our militaristic society with Iraq Veterans Against the War. These are my reflections from the decade and a half Global War on Terror.
2001: I joined the Army and through basic training I learned the violence of war is made possible in part by demonizing and dehumanizing the people on the other end of US military actions and by desensitizing warfighters to the human cost of war.
2002: I saw that the Global War on Terror has many fronts. Drill Sergeants told us to prepare for war, I expected to deploy to Afghanistan. Instead I was deployed to Kuwait, and a year before the invasion of Iraq we were holding training exercises on the border in the same location we would cross in the invasion. Congress approved the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, solidifying the sense that we are in a constant state of danger and building the public fear necessary for war.
IVAW is open to Active Duty, National Guard and Reservists who have served since 09/11/2001. You are not alone.

Composites Test Fixture Compression After Impact
The "Airbus CAI" fi xture is used to test the impact resistance of carbon and other fi ber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite laminates. These materials are prone to great reduction in compressive strength even when the impact load is insuffi cient to cause visible damage. The post-impact compression test is used widely to assess the relative performance of different composite laminates with different fi ber matrix combinations. In the fi rst part of the test the laminates are subjected to low-velocity impact loading simulating tool drops and fl ying debris. Specimens then undergo a compression after impact(CAI) test on an electromechanical or servohydraulic testing machine.

text: Opie 308 Report post Posted May 3, 2013 I know these threads always pop up when we think the refs are garbage, so I thought I would make one for them doing a better than crap job. I think the officials are doing a great job of letting them play "playoff" hockey. There have been some no calls that I think both teams can be pissed about (more the ducks than wings after last night). But all in all, they are letting them play, the game is becoming physical, it is getting faster and faster with each period. There haven't been a lot of whistles (or lack of whistle) that have left me wondering what in the hell. The refs seem to be on their game early in the playoffs which is a good sign! Thoughts?

Pratt & Whitney Volunteers Help Travelers Championship Run Smoothly
With its commitment from sponsors, players and fans, the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell has become an important part of sports history in Connecticut and an event that organizers have called one of the best on the PGA Tour.
This year's championship took place from June 16-22 with the help of hundreds of volunteers from over 30 corporations and groups.
As in years past, Pratt & Whitney provided hundreds of volunteers to marshal the 18th hole and perform other duties. Pratt & Whitney was also among a number of sponsors of the celebrity pro-am.
Hole captains had particularly long days, arriving at 5:30 each morning to sign in volunteers – anywhere from 30 to 70 on any given day – give out assignments, provide shirts, hats or visors, parking passes, food and drink "money," marshal badges and to ensure employees stopped at the volunteer tent for a water bottle and coffee or juice.
Rosario "Riz" Rizzo, a retiree of Pratt & Whitney, is a long-time volunteer at the championship and was one of four hole captains.
"We have two very senior hole captains – Stanley 'Chuck' Rek and Paul Semolic. Paul is responsible for the area from the tee box to the crossover path, and Chuck is responsible from the crossover to the players clubhouse," explained Rizzo.
"Being the finishing hole, the 18th hole gets a lot of attention, especially on the last day of the tournament, as the winner of the tournament is often decided there. This is also where the final ceremonies take place honoring the tournament winner," noted Rizzo.
Dozens of other Pratt & Whitney volunteers acted as marshals, ensuring the professional golfers had an open transition area to the 18th tee box from the 17th green, an open fairway to play their ball down, and an open transition from the 18th green to the scoring tent. They ensured that access "inside the ropes" was restricted to golfers, caddies, PGA officials, scorekeepers and the media. They also handled crowd control as golfers left the 18th hole, where they often stopped to sign autographs.
Volunteers for Pratt & Whitney rotated over 16 locations on the 18th hole during the day and received frequent 30-minute and one-hour breaks to get water and to watch the tournament.
"I have volunteered for the last six years on different days," said Mike Courchesne, a military customer accounts analyst at Pratt & Whitney. "This is the first year I was stationed at the 18th green area. It is a fun time watching the pros and celebrities."
"We are able to get up close to the professionals and see and hear much more than you do on television," added Rizzo.
The major beneficiary of the championship, which donates 100 percent of net proceeds to charity, is the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. The camp, coincidentally, been a long-favored charity of Pratt & Whitney
In all, approximately 180 non-profits throughout the region receive support from the championship. Last year, the event generated $1.25 million.

Erskineville today is very different from the orchards and gardens covering the rich alluvial flats cultivated by the early settlers. However, due to its closeness to the city, transport and shops, as well as the colourful and varied residential character, Erskineville is a great place to live!
In 1794, Acting Governor Grose granted 120 acres to Nicholas Devine, Superintendent of Convicts. Togetherwith another 90 acres gained from Governor Hunter in 1799, Devine called his land "Burran Farm". The roughly covered the suburb we now know as Erskineville.
Devine built his home and established a large orchard and rose garden near the present site of the Erskineville Railway Station. He was specially fond of rose-gardening and developed several new species suited to the Australian climate. One of these he called the "Rose of Australia". A hotel built on the site of the rose garden is called by that name.
One day after he had retired, Devine and his wife were attacked by bushrangers. Mrs Devine died, but when Devine recovered, he was assigned a convict, Bernard Rochford, to protect him. Apparently, Rochford and his wife looked after Devine well. Before Devine died at the age of 104, he gave Rochford "power of attorney". Rochford subdivided the land and sold it in large allotments to some of Sydney's most respected citizens. They reaped a rich harvest from some of Sydney's best soil. Hired labour produced oranges, wheat, sorghum, vegetables and even a little tobacco.
The Rev, George Erskine, Superintendent of the Wesleyan Mission in the colony was one of the purchasers. With convict labour, he built a large double fronted brick cottage which he named "Erskine Villa". The road which ran past became known as Erskine Villa Road and later the suburb was named Erskineville. This home was still standing until 1961.

Editor's note: Julian E. Zelizer is a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. He is the author of "Arsenal of Democracy" and a book on former President Carter and editor of a book assessing former President George W. Bush's administration, to be published this fall by Princeton University Press.
Princeton, New Jersey (CNN) -- Christine O'Donnell shocked the political establishment last week with her victory in the Republican Senate primary in Delaware against Rep. Mike Castle. Like most Tea Party activists, O'Donnell has embraced the anti-Washington rhetoric that has been popular among congressional candidates in the current political climate.
She and other conservatives have criticized fellow Republicans, like Castle, for having become too comfortable in the nation's capital, too willing to work through the normal political process and to compromise on core principles.
"The people of Delaware have spoken. No more politics as usual," she said upon declaring victory.
This kind of anti-Washington rhetoric usually works well on the campaign trail, but it tends to vanish once a candidate is elected and starts the new job.
Ever since Vietnam and Watergate shook public confidence in our government institutions, many Democrats and Republicans have defined themselves in opposition to the very job that they hope to win. In most of these cases, they have then abandoned their own ideals after being confronted with the realities of governing.
Most recently, Barack Obama won the presidency with a campaign that emphasized change and rejected a political system that he said was broken. During the Democratic primaries, Obama had differentiated himself from Sen. Hillary Clinton by blasting her for an "Inside the Beltway" mentality, depicting her as someone who, like her husband, was too willing to cut deals and too cozy with the interest groups that lurk on K Street.
Yet President Obama dropped most of his reform agenda soon after entering office. When pushing for signature legislation such as health care and financial regulation, the administration and Congress cut deals with the interest groups he once derided. Democrats and Republicans have continued to scramble for private dollars to fund their campaigns. The political process looks very much the same in 2010 as it did in 2008.
The Republican freshmen who took control of Congress in 1994 with similar promises also came to adapt to the ways of Washington. After the shutdown of the federal government that resulted from the budget standoff with President Clinton, many of the freshmen tempered their outlook as they compromised on issues such as Medicare.
They also mastered the parliamentary procedures they once decried and developed ties with interest groups to advance their agenda. By 2006, the Republicans, who in their "Contract with America" had promised to "transform the way Congress works," looked very much like the establishment.
The political process is more than a backdrop to decision-making. The process constrains what politicians can and can't do. For example, the fact that the campaigns are financed with private money ensures that lobbyists and interest groups wield influence. Unless Congress passes government reforms such as publicly financed elections to change that process, Tea Party politicians will either have to deal with it or languish.
Furthermore, the separation of power and the nature of the legislative process require compromise to achieve legislation. It is misguided to condemn politicians for practicing a quintessentially American political art.
The president and Congress must agree on legislation, other than rare moments when there is a super-majority to override a veto. The internally fragmented House and Senate must also reach agreement through a deliberative process filled with procedural traps such as the filibuster. A Tea Party Republican can complain all he or she wants about compromise, but on Capitol Hill, a new member of Congress is unlikely to get anything done without cutting a deal.
Finally, voters in both red and blue states depend on federal spending. Although Tea Party candidates castigate earmarks, government spending and pork barrel politics, all of those who are victorious will represent constituencies profoundly affected by the money that Congress allocates every year.
In Alaska, the political birthplace of Sarah Palin and the scene of another recent Tea Party victory, the state has depended on federal dollars for jobs and infrastructure. Indeed, the Southern and Western states, which have been the home to the conservative movement since the 1970s, have depended on military contracts since the Cold War as a pillar of their economy.
Voters should be extremely skeptical about the kinds of promises that candidates such as O'Donnell are making. They have seen this movie before, and they know how it ends.
In the end, voters should pay less attention to the anti-Washington rhetoric and take a closer look at the specific policies that these candidates hope to pursue. Doing so will allow voters to make a more realistic assessment of what their victories would mean for the nation.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Julian E. Zelizer.

The all-white, incredibly temperamental witch of Left 4 Dead fame is terrifying.
She often feels unavoidable, especially if you're playing online with hyperactive, trigger-happy teammates. The echoes of her haunting cries still terrorize my dreams occasionally. (Seriously, I play *that* much Left 4 Dead.)
She's a little less threatening in these cosplay images, though. At least while she's stuck in the frame and not chasing wildly after you. Does someone have a molotov handy just in case?

Report: Reno, Vegas road quality differs
RENO — Reno-area roads are among the nation's roughest, costing drivers $771 a year in additional vehicle operating costs, according to a report by a national transportation research group.
The report, released Thursday by the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group TRIP, says 55 percent of Reno-area roads are in poor condition, compared with 11 percent in Las Vegas.
Reno ranks second out of 62 cities with populations between 250,000 and 500,000 in both the percentage of roads in poor condition and in additional vehicle operating costs.
While 55 percent of Reno's roads are poor, 31 percent are mediocre, 2 percent are fair and 12 percent are good, according to the report.
City of Reno officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Las Vegas ranks 67th out of 75 urban areas with populations greater than 500,000 in percentage of roads in poor condition. Las Vegas has 11 percent poor, 45 percent mediocre, 15 percent fair and 29 percent good.
"Nevada's preservation backlog is estimated to be $2.1 billion," Darrell Armuth, board member of the Nevada Highway Users Coalition, said in a statement. "To preserve the existing highway system, the state will need to immediately increase funding by $285 million for the next 12 years."
The only city worse than Reno among midsize cities was Antioch, Calif., where 64 percent of roads are in poor condition and drivers pay an extra $793 because of it.
Just behind Reno were Santa Rosa, Calif., where 51 percent of roads are poor; and Trenton, N.J. and Hemet, Calif., at 48 percent each.
Among the largest cities, the four worst are in California — Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, 64 percent poor; San Francisco-Oakland, 60 percent; San Jose, 56 percent; and San Diego, 55 percent.
Armuth said a lack of funding threatens the conditions of the nation's roads and highways.
"Without a significant boost in transportation funding at the federal, state and local level, conditions will continue to deteriorate, drivers will continue to pay the price and our economy will suffer," he said.

George Skelton does 'curmudgeon' well.
Readers of the Los Angeles Times know him as a sage Sacramento veteran who's been skewering politicians and offering observations on California's often wacky political scene for decades. He's a venerated elder among the Capitol press corps.
So it was no surprise that the Sacramento Press Club recently devoted an evening to honor Skelton, who first came to Sacramento to cover politics for UPI in 1961, when Pat Brown was governor and the legislature was a part-time body.
U.S. & World
Long-time Los Angeles Times colleagues flew up for the event, which was attended by lawmakers, lobbyists and journalists.
Skelton, in keeping with his persona, seemed a bit uncomfortable with all the attention. In a recent column, he wrote that the Press Club recognition might be considered "a citation for over-parking."
But that night, the regard with which he's held by the political world was evident. There was a tribute video in which former Gov. George Deukmejian predicted he would outlast the Times, calling Skelton "the consummate survivor."
Former Gov. Gray Davis chimed in, saying, "You stepped on toes, you prodded us, you pushed us, occasionally you maligned us. But...you did it for one reason, to get the best out of us."
Then there was former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, who said, "I look back on the days when we were boy reporters in California. I don't think anybody who cared about this business like you and I did ever had a better start."
Skelton hasn't spent the last fifty years entirely in Sacramento. He went to Washington to cover Ronald Reagan's presidency, famously asking the president once about his sex life during an interview aboard Air Force One.
It was during the Reagan presidency that I met George, who was part of the traveling press corps with the "heavy" burden of covering Reagan during his frequent visits to his Santa Barbara ranch.
During my time at California's Capitol, Skelton was the one with the institutional memory who often asked the most provocative and insightful questions at news conferences.
Even after this long a tenure, chronicling a chaotic and dysfunctional political system, Skelton has no interest in taking a buy-out, retiring, hanging up his writing skills.
And his readers are fortunate.

Roxana Saberi Was Released
This is fairly old news, but in the event anyone had been hearing about the story only at C@L, I failed to note that last week the U.S. reporter I'd been posting about was released from prison in Iran. She has left the country, flying to Austria with her family.
Interesting back story on the circumstances surrounding her arrest here. Whatever the details, it's good news that she was released.

Q: What do I need to do to perform a spring cleanout?
Christine – Ballston Spa, NY
A: Like it or not, deep cleaning your pond or water feature is one of those must-do chores in the spring. Though we could write an entire e-book on the subject, we've distilled the essentials into this handy step-by-step to-do list.
So pull on your waders and gloves. It's time to get dirty!
1. Create a holding tank for your fish. First, fill a blue tub, large plastic bin or even a child's wading pool with existing pond water, install a small aerator in it and turn the air on. Then, use a net to catch your fish and gently move them into the holding tank and cover with a net to prevent them from hopping out. This will be their home away from home while you're performing your cleanout.
2. Drain the pond. Use a pump and a drain hose to siphon all the water from the pond.
3. Get out the power washer. Once all the water has been drained, power wash your pond's rocks, decor—anything that has developed a layer of dead algae and/or accumulated debris. Scrub away stubborn debris with an oxygen-based cleaner like Pond Logic® Oxy-Lift™ Defense® Pond Cleaner.
4. Rinse, drain and repeat. As you power-wash off the debris and rinse the rocks and decor, pump the dirty water out of the pond. This may need to be repeated a few times, depending on how much gunk has accumulated.
5. Make rock, decor adjustments. With your rocks and decor sparkling clean, now is the time to adjust them and make sure they're still solidly in place. This is also a perfect opportunity to add more rocks if your gravel-bottom pond needs them.
6. Check pond lights, thin plants. In addition to adjusting your rocks, you should also take the opportunity to ensure your pond lights are working properly, and your plants are thinned and positioned on shelves as you want them.
7. Clean out and reinstall pump/UV/filter. Once your pond is thoroughly cleaned out, re-install any plumbing that was removed for the winter, such as your pump, aerator, filter and ultraviolet light (it's a great idea to invest in a new UV bulb at this time, too, as we recommend replacing it once a year).
8. Fill 'er up. Refill your pond with water and add necessary water treatments. If you have hard water or city water, add a conditioner like Pond Logic® Water Conditioner; if your water is still slightly murky, add some Pond Logic® Clarity Defense®.
9. Re-acclimate the fish. Finally, prepare your fish for their newly cleaned home by adding some of the new water to their holding tank so they can adjust to the new water chemistry. Be sure to slowly acclimate the fish back to the pond just as you would when first adding them. To help them over the hump, consider adding some Pond Logic® Stress Reducer PLUS to make the transition smooth for your finned friends.
Take some time this spring to give your pond a good deep cleaning. It'll take some work—but your pristine, well-cared-for water feature will be a fantastic reward, particularly when you're lounging by it this summer!

At a time when most assume Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel will exit College Station for a ride on the NFL draft train, Manziel has yet to make it official.
And there's a chance he might stay in the place that, as of last June, he couldn't wait to leave.
Via Brett McMurphy of ESPN.com, Manziel said at Monday night's BCS national title game that he hasn't decided whether to give up his remaining NCAA eligibility. Manziel added that he'll meet with his family in the coming days to reach a conclusion.
"I want to make the right decision that's best for me and my family," Manziel said.
Many think the decision has been made, including at least one guy who plays with Manziel.
"Johnny's gone," Texas A&M receiver Ricky Seal-Jones recently said during the broadcast of a high school basketball game. "He's gone."
If Manziel is indeed gone, it's only a matter of time before he takes an ax to the NFL's door, sticks his face in the hole, and exclaims, "Heeeeere's Johnny!"

text: Our evoPOWER cleats are designed to amplify your accuracy with every touch and pack more power into every play. They're grounded in the principles of barefoot kicking because we believe a cleat should never get between you and your goals. In creating the evoPOWER 1.3, our designers analyzed the stance leg (read: the leg that doesn't do the kicking) to see how force travels through the foot. The result: a groundbreaking new design that gives you more longitudinal flexibility from upper to outsole, and more power and accuracy from kick to ball...to goal.

Wheel of Fortune! Costume

Wheel of Fortune!
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Kids
This homemade costume for kids entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Lori, the 'Wheel of Fortune!' costume creator:
This is a picture of my son and daughter dressed as Pat and Vana from Wheel of Fortune! Both of them just love watching the show, and that's how the idea came to be. Other than the wig, these costumes are 100% homemade. Their grandmother made Vana's dress out of an old gold tablecloth! My husband, Jeff, constructed the puzzle grid out of a lightweight plastic material and it was fastened to our daughter with straps that went through her dress. The wheel is made of the same material. The rest of it involved a LOT of sticky back glittered foam and letters from a craft store. The spin actually spins just like the real thing. Hope you like it!
