- Shop your winter tires in the summer
Shop your winter tires in the summer or fall. You will find better prices. No need to wait for the first snowfall as demand is on the rise, winter tire dealers who will quickly identify the good deal, will sell their goods at a much higher price.
- What are your needs for winter tires
Once you have decided to start your shopping, ask yourself what are your needs for winter tires. Do you have a lot of mileage outside the city or are you more of an urban traveler? This will or will not influence the decision to purchase studded tires and you will choose a tire that is better suited to your needs.
- Do you live in the city or in the countryside?
If you do not drive a lot during the winter season and you stay in the city, you do not need to buy high-end tires because the urban areas are generally well maintained and easily driveable.
- Choose ice grip winter tires
It will be important for frequent flyers to choose a winter tire adapted to the routes they cover. If your route has roads that are often icy, it's worth it to invest in ice grip type tires.
- Buy used winter tires
If buying used winter tires may seem like a good deal, check the condition of the tires in question. It would be a shame to buy tires that will be completely obsolete before the end of the season since this would require you to make a new purchase and therefore increase the amount allocated to your purchase. But one thing is for sure, used tires are much cheaper than new tires!
- Check the dimensions of your tires
Before you go in search of your winter tires, check the size of the summer tires that your vehicle is wearing. You will need to find exactly the same dimensions on your winter tires to ensure you ride safely and get the best road holding. To do this hang out with you, your owner's manual when shopping. If you no longer have it in your possession, enter the details in a notebook and bring it with you when shopping.
- The coverslip must be at least 6/32!
When you are offered a particular tire, make sure that the slat is at least 6/32 in order to meet minimum safety standards. A tire whose slats do not go to the bottom will not ensure a perfect grip on the road.
- What is the speed rating?
Check the speed rating of your new winter tires. The speed rating of your new tires should be identical to that of your four-season tires otherwise, they will not ensure the same handling.
- What price to pay for winter tires?
The budget for the purchase of winter tires should be taken into consideration. If your budget is rather modest, look for a new good quality recycled tire rather than a used tire. Since you only use it four months a year, it will run much slower and offer you better value than a used tire.
- Winter tire tests to consult
Finally, if you have any doubts about the purchase of winter tires, do not hesitate to bring a friend connoisseur during your shopping. If you're not lucky enough to have a garage friend, check out consumer magazines such as Protect Yourself magazine or CAA publications. You will find performance tests and recommendations that may be useful to you.
Save gas in your car
Speed and fuel consumption
The faster you drive and the more your engine is working, the more it consumes fuel. To save on gas, it is better to drive slowly, avoid unnecessary speed and, above all, accelerate gradually in order to significantly reduce fuel consumption.
Avoid unnecessary detours
To save gas, it's better to get straight to the point than to roll around unnecessarily. The fuel drops quickly in the tank so if you drive here and there for no reason, you will quickly lose your fuel.
When you go out for commissions by car, why not plan all your trips and the best route to avoid wasting time on the road and especially to avoid spending fuel unnecessarily.
Do not accelerate too fast
When you stop your car at a red madman or at a stop for example, it is better to go then quietly rather than leave at full speed. So the engine will force a lot less and it will also be better for your fuel economy.
A simple trick to follow to dramatically reduce fuel consumption effectively.
Carpool to reduce consumption
Nowadays, gasoline is extremely expensive! To save fuel, why not opt for carpooling when possible? By carpooling, you'll save on gas. Thus, you can also share the gas costs with others which is very interesting at a time when the cost of oil is high.
Watch out for the pressure of your tires
It is very important to regularly check the pressure of your tires. Tires provide rolling resistance on the road according to the ground contact area. The reduction of this surface improves the ride and thus saves on the gasoline used in the car.
The simple fact of driving with tires that lack of air can increase fuel consumption by 5 to 10%, it's huge!
Refuel instead of gassing repeatedly
Often, we prefer to save our money by putting only a small portion of gasoline at a time in our car. We think we save, but in fact, this essence disappears so fast that you are caught returning several times a week. At $ 10, for example, the bill rises faster than you think. Not to mention the time and the essence that we take to make a detour to the gas station. Refueling is better if you want to save fuel in the short term.
Put gas in the regions
If you live close to the areas surrounding the city or if you go for a walk, it is better to think about refueling there since very often gasoline will be cheaper here.
Buy an economical car
There are more and more high-fuel-saving cars on the market. Opting for a small economy car is a good option for saving gas day after day. Cars that consume less we will certainly save financially since they will cost less expensive gasoline.

Grateful Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann to sign new book 'Deal' in Madison Friday
Famed drummer in town tonight for 'Deal' book signing
MADISON >> At age 69, as Bill Kreutzmann celebrates both his birthday and his 50th anniversary as a member of the Grateful Dead, that most long-running and iconic of American psychedelic rock bands, he said he's playing better than ever — and still having plenty of fun.
At just before 11 a.m. on his birthday, Thursday, Kreutzmann was doing his first phone interview of the day. He accepted birthday wishes from the first of a number of reporters and music writers he'll talk to.
Kreutzmann, who lives in Hawaii these days, is getting ready for a visit to Connecticut today. That's because he tells his wild, colorful story in a new book, "Deal: My Three Decades of Drumming, Dreams, and Drugs with the Grateful Dead," which came out just two days earlier.
He wants folks to know he'll be in town — Madison, that is — this evening for a 6 p.m., ticketed book-signing at RJ Julia Booksellers, 768 Boston Post Road. (The $27.99 admission price includes the book and a place in line for the signing.)
It's only the second memoir to come out from any of the Dead's "Core Four" members, following the 2005 release of bassist Phil Lesh's "Searching for the Sound: My Life with the Grateful Dead."
Kreutzmann just got back from New Orleans, where he performed during Jazz Fest with not one but two bands of primarily younger guys, who play like mad even if most of them weren't yet alive as The Dead were touring the country, heading to Europe and playing at the foot of the pyramids in Egypt.
Playing with Billy and the Kids and Voodoo Dead is just plain fun for him, he said.
"They get me off because they have lots of energy and they go for it — we don't have any rules," Kreutzmann said. "It's just a lot of fun."
As the clock counts down to what The Dead's four remaining core members — Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir and Lesh — say will be their last "Fare Thee Well" shows July 3-5 at Chicago's Soldier Field — Kreutzmann said he's thrilled to be alive, feeling good and still playing in top form.
"I'm really excited about these last shows," Kreutzmann said. "I'm very excited about playing and I'm in the best shape I've ever been for playing."
Asked how he feels to have grown up with and as part of a band with such success and longevity, where so many of the musicians he might have started did not, Kreutzmann said, "It makes me feel really happy and real accomplished ... and I'm playing the best I've ever played right now.
"I think the new bands that I'm playing with offer me a chance to really showcase myself ... and I'm glad" to be playing with them, he said.
Kreutzmann said he's proud of his book, written with Benjy Eisen, who has since also become his manager, because "it does have stuff in in that's not in any other book. I got to be behind that drum set" for many, many years, he said.
And when the shows that so many people — so many of us — went to over the years ended, he was there with the rest of the Dead, living their lives.
But for the inevitable question: With the Dead participating in the famed Acid Tests and so many of the core events of the drug-driven 1960s and '70s, does he really remember all of what happened — and if so, how?
Kreutzmann laughed and said, "I remembered a lot and a lot of it came from working with Benjy Eisen, my co-writer.
"I think we store memories that we don't even know we even store," Kreutzmann said. "He had the ability to get a lot out of me" that he didn't even know was still inside.
When he reads the book now that it's out, "I like the way it sounds," he said. "I didn't write from any condescending point of view. ... I write from a real spirit of happy and joyousness.
"The fun thing for me in the book is that nobody got hurt," Kreutzmann said. "When you're a lot younger, you think you're invincible and you're really not."
Asked whether he had any favorite stories he could recall, Kreutzmann told one that he said he wasn't sure was even in the book. It was when The Grateful Dead were playing at The Warfield in San Francisco back in the day.
It was in the middle of the "drums and space" segment of every Dead show, when Kreutzmann and fellow Rhythm Devil Mickey Hart get the stage all to themselves. They were "playing on the big drums," which essentially were oversized bass drums.
While this was going on famed promoter Bill Graham, now of memory, was downstairs "in the can," Kreutzmann said. As the two drummer continued to summon the spirits, "down came the wall" in the bathroom, he said.
Two days later, Graham "gives us these little plaques" with brass plates mounted on marble, commemorated the incident, he said.
RJ Julia manager Lori Fazio said she's excited to have Kreutzmann coming by today.
"We actually have a great weekend," with Jorge Posada of the New York Yankees making an appearance on Monday, she said.
"These kinds of events, while they're not our regular events, create a lot of buzz" and are fun to do, Fazio.
While Kreutzmann may be the only book-signer to come to RJ Julia who has sold out a 61,500-seat football stadium for three nights in a row — 184,500 seats — in 10 minutes, he's by no means the only big name they've hosted.
Others in recent years have included Hillary Clinton, Mariano Rivera, Tom Brokaw, Martha Stewart and Barbara Walters, Fazio said.

We offer basketball, flag football, lacrosse and soccer leagues and cheerleading for children 4 years and older. i9 is about: 1. Fun. We believe that the primary reason children play sports is to have fun. They love mastering new skills, developing friendships, and healthy competition. 2. Inclusivity. That's our word for everyone's right to play and have fun. Our program is for everyone, regardless of race, gender, religion, or ability level. No child will ever be excluded by a tryout, be made to feel like they aren't good enough because of a league draft, or be cut from a team. We do our best to ensure that each child gets equal playing time. 3. Safety. We believe your child's safety is paramount. As such, we background check each of the adults supervising your children and hire trained officials for each game to ensure that "safe play" is enforced. 4. Good Sportsmanship. We believe that learning to play the game is only half the equation. Helping children develop character is the other half. The value of teaching children teamwork, fair play and good sportsmanship goes far beyond the game. 5. Everyone is a Winner.Healthy competition is a natural instinct. However, the "win-at-all-costs" mentality so prevalent in youth sports today is not only destructive to team morale, it severely undermines individual self-esteem. We believe in a healthy competitive environment that allows everyone an opportunity to make the most of their abilities.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! I did not do a very good job of churning out new content like I had planned for my break, but I've got this post and hopefully a couple more drafted to come out in the next couple of weeks.
Anyway, earlier in December I attended my very first Sephora Beauty Class and it was SO MUCH FUN. The beauty classes have been slowly debuting across the states and they have finally reached San Antonio at the end of the 2015. Basically, a Sephora Beauty Class is a free class offered by your local store and each class focuses on a technique or look. Topics include highlight and contour, perfect lips and cheeks, daytime smoky eye and false lash application, among others. Check out the link for the classes nearest you!
I went to the NIghttime Smoky Eye because A) who doesn't love a smoky eye and B) it was a Sunday evening and I didn't have anything planned. They do recommend signing up ahead of time but in my particular class, we had a couple walk-ins that were able to be accommodated. To me, the best part of the experience is that the class is scheduled outside of store hours, so it's just the attendees of the class and the Sephora team and you get the WHOLE STORE to yourself. There were chairs set up near the front and tables with mirrors and tools around the perimeter and all attendees were provided with a folder that had instructions for the look we would be doing. I came with my foundation and brows already done and I brought my own mascara and a couple lip products to finish the look (for sanitation reasons).
One Sephora makeup artist would demonstrate, step by step, the look on another Sephora artist and then we would be sent off to our own stations to do steps 1-3 or 4-6 on ourselves. Any product you want to use is available to you! And the Sephora team will sanitize it all for you to use.
In this class, we did two different styles (one on each eye): a classic smoldering smoky eye and a dramatic cut crease. Corey, the artist that lead the class, was informative, fun and a great instructor. He really broke down the techniques into simple steps for even the most beginner of makeup users.
All in all, the class was just so much fun. I enjoyed connecting with the staff and really getting a chance to play with products that I didn't own or were out of my budget, instead of just swatching on my hand when I'm shopping. They do take the opportunity to pull product for you to purchase, but I didn't feel like any of them were pushy. Special shout-out to Som, who offered to take pictures for me!
A few more pictures (I was using my iPhone, so apologies for the quality and lighting) after the jump.
I DIED over this brush kit! So great, until I looked up the price. $445! It was incredibly hard to not pack it up into my purse.
Make Up For Ever 15 Artist Shadow Palette – I used this for both looks, specifically the dark shade in the center for the Classic look and the bronze shade on the bottom row for the Dramatic Cut Crease.
Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette – I used this palette for my crease, transition and brow highlight. Great quality, very smooth and easy to blend. I think I like it better than my Naked Basics.
This is Som! If you're in San Antonio, you can find her at Sephora North Star.
So a big shout-out to everyone at Sephora North Star, everyone was so friendly and fun and I know I had a blast running around the store trying everything on my face even though I looked cray with two different eye shadow looks.

Amazon Web Services has made its first wind farm electricity generation plant operational, as part of its goal to power all its facilities with renewable energy.
The Fowler Ridge wind farm in Benton County, Indiana, is rated at 150 megawatts, and was first announced last year. It started production on New Year's Day this year, using 65 large turbines.
With an annual power production capability of 500,000 megawatt hours, AWS said Fowler Ridge generates the equivalent amount of electricity as used by 46,000 US homes annually. AWS said on its first day of operation, Fowler Ridge generated more than 1.1 million kilowatt-hours of power.
Fowler Ridge is the first of three wind power farms planned by AWS. The cloud giant is building a 208 megawatt facility in North Carolina on the US Eastern Seaboard, expected to be ready by December this year.
For its US central region, AWS is working on a 100 megawatt wind farm near Paulding County, in the state of Ohio, set to become operational by May 2017.
AWS is also building a solar panel facility that can produce 80 megawatts in Virginia, to go online by October 2016.
The company has, along with other large data centre and cloud services operators, been criticised for paying lip service to renewable energy generation goals. AWS said its intention was to have its global infrastructure powered by 40 percent renewable energy generation.
It did not say when it expects to reach its long-term 100 percent renewable energy goal, or how it would achieve that in countries such as Australia which generates most of its energy through burning coal.

Semiconductor Manufacturing International (SMIC), China's largest chip maker, raised its guidance for the second quarter, saying demand for semiconductors is growing faster than previously expected. But even if the chip maker's second-quarter results come in at the top end of its revised forecast, sales will still be down sharply over the previous year.
SMIC raised its estimated quarter-on-quarter increase in second-quarter sales to a range of 76 percent to 78 percent higher than its first-quarter sales, from a previously predicted range of 58 percent to 62 percent.
The revised forecast indicates SMIC's second-quarter revenue should be between US$257.9 million and $260.8 million. That means SMIC's second-quarter revenue will be at least 24 percent lower than last year, when it reported revenue of $342.9 million during the same period.
SMIC stopped short of declaring that the uptick in orders signals the coming of an economic recovery.
"It is unclear whether the strong growth in our customer orders seen by the company for Q2 comes from rushed orders by customers to replenish inventory or is an indication of the beginning of a sustainable recovery of the economy in general," the company said in a statement.

Ecosystem services are the benefits people obtain from ecosystems, such as clean air, fresh water, and the pollination of crops. The aim of this literature review was to find empirical data illustrating the ways in which conservation land and conservation management activities affect ecosystem services. The widely-held belief that natural ecosystems—such as those found on conservation land in New Zealand—provide a range of ecosystem services is generally supported by the literature.

Rapidly expanding human populations and associated economic growth and overconsumption is resulting in serious degradation of the natural environment human survival depends on (Vitousek et al., 1997; Sanderson et al., 2002; Orr, 2004; Alroy, 2010; Branch et al., 2013). Almost half of the global human population currently lives within 150km of the coast (UN Atlas of the Oceans, 2014). This results in severe pressures being placed on marine and coastal environments.

Boat Paint Thinner
Like their cars, boat owners love to show off their craft. Since your boat's paint job is very eye-catching, and key to maintaining its value, it's important that it be properly cared for. To preserve your boat's showroom quality finish, know that Wholesale Marine carries a wide variety of boat paint thinners by such trusted brands as Interlux, Pettit, and Aquaguard.
What Does it Do?
Marine paint's viscosity is critical to a successful finish. If it's too thick, then the paint won't brush or roll evenly. If it's too thin, the paint will become watery, with potential to dry wrong and need a do-over. For that perfect consistency, boat paint thinner can be added to your marine paint. There are different types of boat paint thinner, with variations specified for warmer climates, cooler climates, and type of application.
One product we recommend is Pettit 121 Paint Spraying Thinner. It's available in a convenient quart size and is a general purpose thinner, ideal for enhancing your paint and making short work of spray applications. With this particular product, thin the paint to 10% to 20% for best results. Wholesale Marine also carries solvent washes for reducing waxy build-up, degreasing parts, and removing surface mold.
Wholesale Marine wants to be your one stop shop for boat paint thinners and solvents! We want all our customers to be satisfied with their purchases, from prices, to shipping speed, to product quality. We offer price match guarantees, shipping perks, and stellar customer service. When you are ready to update your boat's paint job or to restore its original luster, we are here for you! Call us Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, EST, at (877) 388-2628.

Today, shoppers are turning to their mobile devices to influence 50% of all retail sales. Digital is now a major player along the entire customer journey – including when they are in-store. Retailers need to ensure that their mobile strategy takes this behaviour into account as the mobile experience should integrate seamlessly with the in-store experience.
To learn more about how shoppers are using their mobile devices in-store – and how retailers are taking advantage of this behaviour – we hit the streets to talk with store associates from top lifestyle brands like Old Navy, Sephora, Forever 21 and Lululemon.
What We Learned
1. Shoppers are well-informed when they walk into stores.
An increasing number of shoppers are coming into stores with the items they want to purchase already displayed on their phones. They come into the physical store to see the products in-person and to try them on. This behaviour gives retailers the opportunity to increase revenue through customer interactions with store associates.
- Shoppers are engaging with store associates, giving them an opportunity to upsell
- Shoppers are closer to the buying stage before entering the store, making it easier for store associates to close the sale
By interacting with the customer at multiple touchpoints (online and in-store), retailers have the opportunity the give customers a consistent and complete brand experience.
Key Takeaway: Help shoppers find products in-store. It's easy for customers to search for specific products online, but if they walk into a store and can't easily find that product then you may lose a sale. Ensuring shoppers can easily locate products in-store may take the form of associate training, verifying inventory is accurate, or adding navigation for larger stores.
2. Conflicting information online and in-store may prevent shoppers from buying.
Shoppers browse products through multiple channels during the research stage of their buying journey. We learned there are two key scenarios that cause frustration for shoppers when moving between channels.
1. When in-store inventory doesn't match what's outlined on the website.
2. When in-store promotions do not match online promotions.
Customer frustrations from channel-specific promotions often hurt conversion rates on all channels. Shoppers may leave the store with the intention to buy the product online later if they know they can get it cheaper through the website, but then never get around to it. Alternatively, shoppers may avoid purchasing an item in their size online because they noticed it was cheaper in-store, only to realize that the retailer doesn't have their size in-store.
This doesn't mean that promotions across all stores and channels must match, but it does mean that the possible impact on customers needs to be considered when creating channel-specific promotions. Retailers should also consider whether or not store associates should be empowered to honour online sales in-store to save a purchase.
Key Takeaway: Consider how information and promotions offered through your digital store will affect a shopper's visit to a physical store.
3. Digital stores can be a tool for sales associates to make and save in-store sales.
We spoke with some retail leaders where store associates are already set up to take advantage of the brand's digital store. Store associates were able to refer to the additional information and/or inventory on the website to help shoppers complete a purchase before leaving the store. In the best cases, associates could complete the purchase for the customer on a portable device without even having to take the customer to the till – now that's an integrated shopping experience!
A few key reasons why associates bring up the online store include:
- Additional product information
- Additional inventory
- Availability of out-of-season items
We found the biggest hurdle to encouraging associates to turn to the website was attribution. They avoided sending shoppers online if there was no way to attribute the sale to themselves or their store.
Key Takeaway: Offer tools and attribution strategies to enable in-store associates to take advantage of additional information and inventory available through the website.
Mobile Behaviour In-Store
Mobile devices aren't just used at home or on-the-go, they are actually influencing the in-store shopping experience. Retailers can't afford to create siloed shopping experiences on each channel, they must be provide an integrated shopping journey across channels.
Our discussions with store associates from some of the top lifestyle brands confirmed that retailers have the opportunity to take advantage the customers' mobile behaviour in-store to increase sales and provide a seamless shopping experience.

In a true Christmas miracle, the guys who promised me firewood back in July, and have been telling us increasingly strange stories since early October about why it hadn't arrived yet, finally actually showed up with it. It isn't perfect wood– at 23% moisture (measured with my handy moisture meter) it wasn't quite the "<20% moisture" certified on the invoice they left. And, it is by far the dirtiest firewood I've ever seen. I don't know how they managed to get the wood so dirty. If it went in their kiln that way (and I suspect it did), no wonder they needed an EPA air quality permit for the thing.
Anyway, we were down to the very last sticks of our very first wood purchase (2009), but now we're good for the winter now (one cord). I won't be buying from these guys again, I think. To avoid this situation in the future, I've already put my order in for next winter with someone more reliable and upfront: Heidi of Heidi's Firewood (she probably doesn't need extra publicity, but there it is.)
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a cold night! (Though actually we are supposed to have rain and record warmth tomorrow…)

Rivera rarity: Back-to-back blown saves
NEW YORK -- One blown save is rare enough for closer Mariano Rivera, but you still don't need two hands to count the number of times he has faltered in back-to-back opportunities.
Miguel Cabrera launched a two-run homer off Rivera in the top of the ninth inning on Friday, marking just Rivera's fourth blown save in 39 chances this season. The 43-year-old expressed relief that the Yankees went on to win, 4-3, on Brett Gardner's RBI single in the 10th inning.
"It was great. We fought hard enough to win this game," Rivera said. "Thank God we were able to win."
Rivera also coughed up a lead on Wednesday against the White Sox in Chicago, a game the Yankees lost. This was the ninth time he has blown saves in back-to-back opportunities; the last came on April 19 and 24, 2011.
"I didn't execute what I needed to do, bottom line," he said. "You can't make excuses for that."
He said that Cabrera's homer came on a two-seam fastball that he did not get inside enough. By blasting a shot onto the center-field netting covering Monument Park, Cabrera completed an epic at-bat that included a pair of painful foul balls off his leg and knee.
"He probably was trying to get it in more than he got it in," manager Joe Girardi said of the fateful pitch. "He was probably trying to elevate it more than he did. Cabrera put a tough at-bat on him, fouled a bunch of pitches off -- fouled it off his knee, fouled it off his foot. He did a good job of getting him to two strikes, and couldn't put him away."
Replays showed that Rivera mouthed "wow" as Cabrera trotted slowly around the bases, and Rivera confirmed that reaction.
"He was kind of like limping, you know? And to hit the ball out like that? It's amazing," Rivera said.
Cabrera entered the evening 0-for-5 lifetime against Rivera before cracking his blast off the all-time saves leader.
"He doesn't surprise us anymore," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "We've seen him so often that nothing he does is a surprise. He's awful special."

Walt Disney World's largest union group demanded Tuesday that the company open a free generic-drug pharmacy for workers and limit increases in health insurance premiums.
The Service Trades Council Union, which represents 40 percent of Disney World's 51,000-person work force, said a free pharmacy would save the company and workers money by encouraging employees to use generic rather than more expensive brand-name drugs.
Walt Disney World could save more than $644,000 a year and employees could save $1.3 million a year, according to an analysis for the union group performed Sav-Rx Prescription Drug Services, a provider of managed care prescription drug services.
Workers in the six unions making up the council, which covers costumed characters, bus drivers, hotel workers, gift shop workers and ride operators, currently have a copay of $25 plus 10 percent of the cost of a brand-name drug.
"It's a win-win situation for Disney and its cast members," said Morty Miller, president of Unite HERE! Local 362, which represents custodial and vacation planning workers at the theme park resort.
Working with employers, Unite HERE! has set up similar pharmacies for casino and hotel workers in Atlantic City, Chicago and Las Vegas.
A free pharmacy proposal was presented by the union group to Disney officials last year during contract negotiations but Disney decided the plan didn't work.
Company officials disagreed with the Sav-Rx analysis and believed it wouldn't save Disney or workers money, Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Polak said.
"It wasn't the right program for the cast and company at the time," Polak said.
Polak said the company has explored pharmacy options in the past but she refused to offer any details.
The union group's members last year accepted a three-year contract that included no provisions about a pharmacy.
"Obviously the company and the Service Trades Council have a labor agreement in place, and the union recommended that cast members approve the contract a few months ago," Polak said. "So it's kind of taken us by surprise ... that this is surfacing right now."
Union officials also called on Disney not to implement provisions in the contract that allow the weekly cost of health insurance paid by workers to increase in 2006 and 2007.
"We just want to put the heat on the company to keep this problem on the forefront," said Joe Condo, head of the union group.
Polak said the company planned to honor the terms of the agreement, including the increases in health care insurance paid by employees.

Bonephones are a set of earphones and other tools that conduct sound using bones in the skull. These new types of communications equipment work through the principle of physical conduction, rather than traditional headphones that simply stream audio directly into the ear.
Bonephones may seem relatively new, but some models date back to the 2000s. There's a rich record of various innovators, including major classical musicians, creating their own primitive bone noise conductors in past centuries.
Bonephones bypass the eardrum and deliver sound directly to the inner ear. Some experts consider this to be a safer way to deliver sound, though some users complain that the result doesn't quite sound the same. In terms of their design, bonephones are in some ways a first step toward technologies such as cochlear implants that provide alternatives to simply inputting audio through the outer ear.

Bene's Career Education Spotlight
Whether you are a Bene's client enjoying a spa service, A creative mind wondering about beauty education, or a current student curious about other programs, it's likely at some point you've asked yourself "What's it like in those classrooms?"
Today we are going to answer that question with a Bene's Career Education Spotlight. I visited some of the day and night classes during theory hours and asked students to tell me about what they are learning. They had exciting answers.
Our hair stylists are on Chapter 20- Chemical Texture.
Monday is an all day theory class for Cosmetology students. They spent the morning reviewing their textbooks and listening to their instructor explain some of the science behind perming, hair structure, and molecule bonds. After a lunch break, the class had fun working with their hands in a "Wrapping Relay." Two groups lined up behind two mannequins. Each student would wrap a perm rod and then pass the comb to the student behind them.
Tips and Tricks: What your Cosmetologist wants you to know
Its important to notify your stylist if you've used any box color on your hair. Some box colors contain metallic salts which react negatively with most perm solutions. They can cause uneven curls, severe discoloration, or breakage!
Our nail technician students are on Chapter 17-Monomer Liquids & Polymer Powders
If you have ever had artificial nails before you've seen your technician mixing a liquid and a powder as they sculpt your nails. The technical terms for those components are monomer liquid and polymer powder. The students are learning about application techniques and how to create looks using more than one color of polymer powder. I learned some fun facts while I was sitting in the classroom including such as: acrylic nails are the most durable type of artificial nail.
Skin Care
Our Estheticians are on Chapter 13 - Products Chemicals and Ingredients
An important lesson in skin care is knowing which products react well together and which ones don't. A large part of what this chapter teaches is helping clients choose the correct home care for their skin. The students informed me that improper home care is the most common cause of redness, blemishes, congestion, and irritation. They want clients to know it's important to discuss your products and medications with your technician. They also really, really want everyone to know how important it is to wear sunscreen.
Our barbers are on Chapter 4 -Sanitation
The barbers have a full day of theory class on Mondays. In preparation for the sanitation chapter, one week earlier, the students collected samples from commonly used objects around the school building. During class they reviewed how their samples have grown and why sanitation is important. Anything that can be passed by physical contact can be passed by a comb. If you would like to see more pictures and where we took our samples from visit us on Facebook.
It was a great day at Bene's International School of Beauty, Barber and Massage.

text: Monica Lewinsky Slams Clinton Over Affair: 'My Boss Took Advantage of Me' 9:20 AM PDT 5/6/2014 by THR staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images Monica Lewinsky Headshot - P 2012 Writing for Vanity Fair, she expresses her "regret" over the affair, says she's had a hard time finding a job, and calls out Beyonce and Hillary Clinton. After years of silence, Monica Lewinsky is opening up about her 1998 affair with President Bill Clinton, saying he "took advantage" of her. Lewinsky, who was then a White House intern, and Clinton embarked on an affair that eventually led to his impeachment on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice (he was acquitted of all charges following a trial in the Senate). PHOTOS: Hollywood's Top Celebrity Political Twitter Commentators Now 40, Lewinsky -- who previously discussed the scandal with Barbara Walters in a 1999 sitdown and later co-wrote a book about the incident -- has penned a piece for Vanity Fair's June issue in which she expresses her "regret" about the entire thing, says she's had a hard time finding a job, and calls out Beyonce and Hillary Clinton. Here are five of the biggest revelations: 1. She wishes the affair had never happened. "I, myself, deeply regret what happened between me and President Clinton," she writes. "Let me say it again: I. Myself. Deeply. Regret. What. Happened." She said that after years of silence, many people assumed the Clintons had paid her off ("I can assure you that nothing could be further from the truth"). She writes: "I've decided, finally, to stick my head above the parapet so that I can take back my narrative and give a purpose to my past. (What this will cost me, I will soon find out.)" VIDEO: Bill Clinton 'Sings' Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' 2. She believes Clinton took advantage of her. Lewinsky writes that the affair was consensual. However, she adds: "Sure, my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: It was a consensual relationship. Any 'abuse' came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.… The Clinton administration, the special prosecutor's minions, the political operatives on both sides of the aisle, and the media were able to brand me. And that brand stuck, in part because it was imbued with power." 3. She finds it "troubling" that Hillary Clinton blamed her for the affair. Addressing recent revelations that Hillary Clinton called Lewinsky a "narcissistic loony toon," Lewinsky writes: "She may have faulted her husband for being inappropriate, but I find her impulse to blame the Woman -- not only me, but herself -- troubling." STORY: Jay Leno's Top 'Tonight Show' Joke Targets: Bill Clinton, O.J. Simpson 4. She's had a hard time landing jobs. Lewinsky claims that following the scandal, she had offers that would have brought her $10 million plus, but she turned them down "because they didn't feel like the right thing to do." After earning a master's degree in social psychology at the London School of Economics, she found it hard to get a job. "Because of what potential employers so tactfully referred to as my 'history,' I was never 'quite right' for the position." In other cases, companies wanted to hire her because of her fame, knowing she'd bring press attention. She adds that she's "managed to get by (barely, at times) with my own projects, usually with start-ups that I have participated in, or with loans from friends and family." STORY: Richard Dreyfuss to Co-Star in Political Sex-Scandal Drama 'Zipper' 5. She's not afraid to school Beyonce. Lewinsky called out the singer's lyrics in her recent single "Partition": "He popped all my buttons, and he ripped my blouse?/He Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown." But that's not quite accurate, writes Lewinsky: "Thanks, Beyonce, but if we're verbing, I think you meant 'Bill Clinton'd all on my gown,' not 'Monica Lewinsky'd.'"

Kemp Tiling Co.
"Komatsu and CEC are a great fit for us'"
The Kemp family has completed projects in and around Sebewaing, Michigan, ever since Edward and Lula Kemp bought a tiling machine in 1956. Sixty-one years and four generations later, Kemp Tiling Co., Inc., is a local institution.
Edward started the company by doing tiling jobs for area farmers, and it grew to the point that he needed a second machine a year later for son, John. John and his younger brother, Allen, bought the company from their father in 1973. Throughout the next few years, they began diversifying to create jobs for brother, Lon, and John's sons, Ed and Paul. John's wife, Norma, started doing the books in their home and later moved to the office's current location, retiring fully several years ago. Although he also "retired" in 2002, John still runs the company's crushing operation and spends endless hours researching parts and supplies online.
The family credits John as the driving force behind getting the company on board with GPS grade control. They purchased their first Topcon system in 2007. Allen's plan to retire in January 2017 has resulted in fewer hours, but he is slowly handing the reins of the company's tiling processes to his son, David. Allen and David also take care of the pond maintenance work for Michigan Sugar Factory's Sebewaing plant.
Ed and Paul handle the excavation and trucking areas of the business, performing a variety of services including – but not limited to – site work, water and sewer line installation as well as road building. The two rely heavily on Ed's son, John Edward "L J," and Mike Herman, who is one of the few employees not actually related but is considered family in every other way.
Nearby customers
As the business continues to thrive, success is measured in a unique way – its territory. Located near the eastern shore of Saginaw Bay, Sebewaing is outside of Michigan's most densely populated area. However, that hasn't kept Kemp Tiling from developing loyal customers within a 30-mile radius.
"We don't have to travel far from home, which we think shows the quality of our work," explained Paul. "Customers around here know that we are going to take care of them to the best of our ability. We've developed relationships that have lasted a long time, and we're proud of that."
Another source of pride is the friendships formed with other contractors and many of the inspectors with whom the Kemps have worked. Several jobs the company performs are close to "Kempville," the rural community on the "Old Sand Road," which is home to Kemp Tiling's office and several of the family members' homes.
Nearby customers include local municipalities such as Sebewaing Light & Water, The Village of Sebewaing's Department of Public Works and the Villages of Unionville and Pigeon. Many of these customers call on Kemp Tiling for emergencies.
Kemp Tiling also picks up occasional road construction work. In 2013, it installed a 66-inch box culvert and built a half-mile section of highway M-25, rerouting the area's well-known "Coal Mine Corner." It also prepped for asphalt as a subcontractor for Ace Saginaw Paving Company on a Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) project. Kemp Tiling has been a prequalified contractor with MDOT since 1989.
John and Allen started with four machines and a lowboy. Today, the fleet includes multiple excavators, dozers and off-road trucks; as well as six dump trucks, five gravel trains and two lowboy trailers along with a host of other pieces.
"We don't typically have a lot of major projects, but instead focus on smaller jobs," said Paul. "We're a company that's grown to where we have the equipment needed to handle any job we take on. We're thankful for longstanding relationships with loyal customers through the years."
Another local client is Michigan Sugar Company. Kemp Tiling tackles several assignments a year at Michigan Sugar's Sebewaing and Caro locations. The association with Michigan Sugar began nearly 35 years ago and continues as they collaborate on ideas to make the sugar company's processes more efficient – whether it's related to pond work or building and maintaining the sugar beet piling grounds.
Versatility is key
Loyalty and dependability are two traits that are important to Kemp Tiling. The company finds both in its Komatsu machines from Continental Equipment Company (CEC) and Sales Rep Chad Fullerton.
"Komatsu equipment makes up a good portion of our fleet," shared Ed. "The equipment is great, and we really appreciate everything that Chad and CEC do for us. They've earned our business."
Komatsu excavators are a staple of the company's fleet. It has six, ranging from a PC40MR to a new PC240LC purchased last winter along with a PC170LC.
"The early returns on the PC240 have been outstanding," declared Ed. "This is a versatile machine that allows us to do multiple applications at a jobsite. It handles great."
We use the PC240 on several types of jobs," continued Paul. "It has excellent balance and lifting capabilities."
Kemp Tiling also has two Komatsu dozers – a D4 1 and a D61 – as well as a WA380 wheel loader.
"We outfitted both of our dozers with Topcon GPS systems, and they are our go-to machines for fine grading," noted Paul. "These are older models, but I'd put our two dozers with grade control up against any other machine for carrying a grade."
For Kemp Tiling, the service it receives from CEC matches the performance of the Komatsu ma chines it sells.
"Chad has always been our guy," said Paul. "He stops in to see us routinely. Anytime we need parts or service, CEC is on top of it. We never have to wait."
"Komatsu and CEC are a great fit for us," he added. "Fortunately, we haven't needed to call Chad often because Komatsu machines are well-built. We just check the fluids and do a quick, walk-around inspection."
Everyone contributes
A day at Kemp Tiling has a family-reunion feel to it. Since the doors opened six decades ago, the Kemps have built the business as a team.
"We're all in this together," said Paul's wife, Tracy. "We don't put much stock in titles because we are all invested."
"This approach has been very important to the success of the business so far," noted Paul. "Everyone has helped get the company to where it's at."
The Kemps' leadership in the firm is likely to remain strong as, the fourth generation is already on-board. It's a safe bet that the future will see Kemp descendants continuing to serve the Sebewaing area.
"I think we are set up well for continued success," said Paul. "We have a very strong tie with our customers and a solid reputation. We just want to continue to enjoy consistent business, meet our customers' needs and keep the family involved in the company."
"The best compliment we can get is when people need something, they think of us first," said Tracy. "Whether it's for utilities, a load of sand, or even a roll of tape. The people in our area know that Kemp Tiling will be there to help."

Urban harvest
August 20, 2012 § Leave a comment
Our subdivision has a number of apple trees in the ornamental landscaping. And this year seems to be a bumper crop. We walked a little way from our house and picked a nice bucketful to make into applesauce. Apple picking is always a wonderful experience. Complete with the requisite squished apples and buzzing bees. And ours have worms and everything. I think they are nearly organic as they are not cared for as an orchard.
Pinterest project- boot tray and game storage
August 17, 2012 § Leave a comment
Filling a boot tray with rocks seems rather silly, but it makes muddy boots infinitely more stylish. Or anything wet coming into the house. River rocks are least expensive at the Dollar Store. We have also found the rocks useful for other things like one memorable rock skipping contest. We also used them (scrubbed) as filler to bring a wine demijohn up to the proper lever. Handy things to have around.
Those purple and black shoes are Merrell Pace Gloves. Best shoes ever! They are minimalist runners and I use them daily and cannot say enough about how comfortable and durable and washable! they are.
One other little pinterest handy helper we have used is to get travel soap containers to corral card games. These work perfectly and are hardy for travel and kids.
Flea market finds
August 16, 2012 § Leave a comment
For my second trip to Mile High this summer, I got a blissful few hours of solitude and a selection of fun finds. A few more wooden hangers for the closet. $2. Some day I will have enough to get rid of the plastic ones.
A dollar fan. How to bring joy to a 6 year old in two seconds flat.
$1 for this set of stamps. Still in the $16 packaging. Endlessly useful for school and creative activities.
Keens, always the keens. Little ones for the little one. $4.
We have been on the lookout for trains. The 4 year old turns five soon and this will be his gift. This box is huge! And very full of train building fun for years to come. $20.
And 3 vintage Fisher Price play stages. I had these. I loved these! $13. The car elevator still goes up and the school bell still rings. Now I'm in the market for the little cars and people.
The workspace- and ladder chandelier
August 15, 2012 § 3 Comments
So the ladder I got this weekend, I cut it in half. Cringe! It was hard to do, so beautiful it was. But the two halves are perfectly at home in new places. I sanded them and wiped them down and put on a sealer. I hung one above my worktable, and I thought I'd show you this space. Because it is my favorite. 27 square feet of lovely color and inspired order that makes creating easy. The room is on the main floor right by the living room and 15 feet from the kitchen. So convenient. I always work to place the making space and the kids play and school room right in the main living area. Neither of them works well in the basement or a bedroom. Soon the ladder will be hung with half done projects and inspiration ideas.
That is a cape in progress.
And lest you think all is perfect, here is the other two-thirds of the room. Theology library, music room, electronic and computer workstation, waiting to be craigslisted repository, and ironing spot. I'm working on that blank wall. Do you see that soup crock on a plaque? My husband is a really good cook and won that chili award. His interests are so varied. He needs a wall of memories and appreciations.
Balance bike- product recommend
August 14, 2012 § Leave a comment
My oldest children are 6 and 5. They are working on using a 2 wheeler, but mostly just fall over. We got this balance bike through kids Woot. (Our brand is Treehaus, but any balance bike is probably good.) And every minute for the last week the kids are riding it. The oldest has gotten the hang of the balance and can now ride the two wheeler! The thing they like best about it is they are allowed to ride it inside. It has rubber handles and no pedals to gouge things. It is adjustable and so fun to zoom around.

I bought a new pillow. Full price! It was at Home Goods and of course I love the color, but it was that corner trim that I wanted. How unique! No mere piping here.
It is on the sewing table because I fray-blocked the edge of the butterfly and glued it down. The butterfly applique was sewn only in the middle and floppy and frayed. How may things do you buy and alter as soon as you get home? I do that a lot.

Are you a purpose-driven coach, consultant or speaker and are looking to rapidly grow your brand visibility, thought leadership and your business?
I am very excited to announce: The C Method Apprenticeship Program which I am launching in 2019! In this program, you will learn everything I know about creating a thriving coaching and speaking business that aligns with your values, your authentic style and your purpose. I am looking for only two people to join the program for 2019.
Apply for the Apprenticeship Program!
This program is for you if:
- You have been in business for yourself for at least 2 years
- You want to build your brand and visibility as a thought leader in your field
- You feel 'stuck' in your business – maybe you feel like you've plateaued, and you're tired of trying to do it all on your own
- You want to put yourself out there as a speaker, but you don't know how, or your self doubt and fears are holding you back.
- You are ready to make big changes and take your business to the next level of success and profitability.
- You want to grow your business in a way that aligns with your lifestyle desires, your core values and your purpose in life.
- …and you want to learn from someone who's been there and done it all before.
Why did I create this program?
In 2010, I graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Masters of Architecture. I was determined to find a challenging role in a highly regarded architecture firm, convinced I would work my way up the ranks to eventually become a director. However, after years of discovering what it was REALLY like to practice as an architect, I realised that life was not for me.
I started to explore my options, and that is when I discovered my love of educating, coaching and creating content. I was going to start my own business. However, I realised if I wanted to succeed as a business owner, I needed to develop the skills they DON'T teach you at school. University gave me technical skills, but very little practical skills.
Here's what I did:
- Invested in numerous courses and training programs, including spending $2000 on an online podcast course.
- Read countless books and listened to podcasts
- Joined mastermind and accountability groups
- Surrounded myself with more experienced and talented mentors who were living the life I wanted
- Interviewed dozens of industry experts on my podcast
- Constantly pushed myself out of my comfort zone to do things that scared me, including asking for speaking opportunities
- Invested scary amounts of $$ – I'm talking a house deposit, people! – in my own coach
- ….and did all this with the intention of maintaining a balanced lifestyle, which included time for self care, creativity, family, friends, work, fun and travel.
Since I began on this journey, the results from my efforts continue to astound me — but that's not to say it's been easy. Because if it were easy, everyone would be doing it, right?
This is why I created this Apprenticeship Program — to give you an easier and quicker path, one which I wish I had! This program allows me to share and teach everything I know about creating a thriving professional services business to YOU so that you can experience the same (or better!) exponential growth in your business too.
What does the program involve?
To become highly successful as a professional speaker, coach or consultant, you need to master five disciplines. In the Apprenticeship Program, we will explore each discipline in detail, and you will work towards mastering each one.
The First Discipline: Courageous Mindset
We will get you absolute clarity on the business you want to create, the impact you want to have, the people you want to help, and the life you want to lead. This requires the right mindset – and we will work to clear the limiting beliefs and obstacles that hold you back from unleashing your true self.
The Second Discipline: Impactful Speaking
You will rapidly advance in the way you present yourself, when speaking to both groups and individuals. You will learn how to manage your nerves and anxiety around speaking, and how to feel confident and prepared for any speaking opportunity. You will learn how to develop your authentic voice, create key messages and tell powerful stories that engage, influence and inspire your audience.
The Third Discipline – Creating Clients
This is the area I struggled with the most when I first started my business, and I am excited to share with you everything I know about creating clients who you love working with and who love working with YOU. You will build your confidence in reaching out to prospects, proposing, overcoming objections, and approaching the prospecting process from a place of abundance – helping you to feel good about the outcome, regardless if they become a client or not.
The Forth Discipline: Creating Content
One of the most effective ways to establish your credibility and brand is to create excellent content. Starting my first podcast in 2013, I was able to establish my credibility relatively quickly – even when I has NO audience and NO experience in the communications field. It now reaches thousands of people worldwide, and provides a consistent stream of opportunities, from speaking to coaching enquiries. You may not realise it, but you have unique insights, stories and experiences that would be immensely beneficial for others to hear – whether through a blog, podcast or videos. I will guide you through creating your own content channel, providing support from concept to execution.
The Fifth Discipline: Building A Profitable Business
It's wonderful to be able to market yourself, but when it comes to business you need to be profitable as well! You will learn how to structure and price your services in a way that is profitable AND feels good. I will share the tools and strategies for getting booked – and paid – as a speaker, which includes how to negotiate with clients. You'll get a sneak peek behind the workings of my business, include access to all my templates, process documents and financial templates.
Who am I looking for?
As I am looking to take on only 2 apprentices for 2019, I am being very selective with who I bring on. For the program to be successful and for you to get the results you're looking for, it MUST be a good fit for both of us.
So if what I have shared today has resonated with you and you're thinking: 'Yes that sounds like something I would LOVE to do!" – then I invite you to apply for the Apprenticeship program.
In the application form, you will be asked to answer a few questions, and then we will set up an in-depth Discovery Call to explore your goals, challenges, aspirations, and to see if the program is a good fit for you, and if working together makes sense for us. Click the link below to apply. I look forward to speaking with you!

iPhone 4 clan was tracking for a spring '11 launch -- and that'd line up pretty nicely with shots we've received from a trusted source today showing new entries in Vodafone Germany's inventory system for weiß (white) iPhone 4s in both 16 and 32GB flavors. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean Vodafone has any idea when these phones are showing up on their doorstep -- maybe they're just preparing (and hoping) that it materializes before too long -- but for what it's worth, the source says to expect a launch "soon." If you've got a few hundred euro lying around, we suppose it'll be a good way to bide your time while you wait for an iPhone 5 launch in a few months, right?

Leslie Vallade is a woman on a mission.
As president of the new nonprofit Loch Raven Fireworks Foundation Inc., she said only a third of the $10,000 needed to stage the annual July 4 fireworks display at Loch Raven Technical Academy has been raised.
But Vallade is undaunted in her efforts and confident that spectators from the dozens of nearby neighborhoods who attend the display will come through by donating the remaining $6,500 to cover its costs.
It's "been very stressful. I'm tearing my hair out," said Vallade, of Loch Raven Village, adding that the bill will have to be paid by the end of July.
So dedicated to ensuring that the fireworks go on this year and future years, Vallade helped set up the foundation with a sole responsibility of fundraising and organizing Towson's only public fireworks display.
The job previously fell to the Associates of Loch Raven Village, the area's community association. Vallade resigned from the association board to devote her time to the nonprofit foundation.
"Tradition is very important and sometimes it's all you have," Vallade said. "The fireworks have been in this community for a very long time. It's important to us to keep them here."
The co-founder of the foundation last November was fellow Loch Raven Village resident David Baker, a paralegal for a law firm who deals with nonprofits. "I'm the one with the technical expertise," said Baker, who now serves as foundation vice president and treasurer. "Leslie's the one-man band promoting it."
Since the fireworks benefit the entire community, the foundation has been set up with the idea of involving the entire Towson community, said Baker. "We'd like all the other associations to become a part of it," Baker said.
Last year, Walmart donated $10,000, Micro Center gave $500 and Heritage Properties donated $500. Other businesses have donated funds in prior years.
"But this year, we have been unable to secure funding from a large corporate sponsor. With only $3,500 in hand at this point, the foundation is short of our fundraising goals. We're in need of donations, as well as volunteers," Vallade said.
'Whose fireworks are they?'
The question that led to the formation of a foundation independent of the community association was, "Whose fireworks are they?"
It was raised whenever the association board discussed how to raise fireworks funds and the manpower to stage any given year's display, considering the board's other responsibilities.
After all, the fireworks were being staged at the school in the Loch Raven Village neighborhood, but spectators were coming from dozens of other Towson-area neighborhoods as well as Baltimore City. In recognition of that, community associations for nearby Knettishall and Fellowship Forest have made donations each year.
"Board members had different opinions about whether we should continue to provide the financial support for the fireworks," Gary Herwig, association president said. "We spent an inordinate amount of time discussing it each year."
Forming the foundation appeared to be "a worthwhile endeavor," Herwig said. "There was very little opposition."
The board voted to support the foundation as well as to transfer to it the $3,000 left over from last year's event and to make a $500 contribution, as well.
The problem was, the board didn't make that final decision until March, Vallade said. "That didn't give us much time to solicit funds."
Vallade hasn't considered canceling the contract for this year's display with New Jersey-based Fireworks Extravaganza, the offshoot of Fireworks Productions of Maryland, which had produced the Loch Raven fireworks for years.
"If we let it go for just one year, we might not be able to use the Loch Raven school fields again," she said.
Not so, according to Baltimore County Schools spokesman Charles Herndon, who said, "The best we can determine is that fireworks organizers would be able to continue even if they don't do the fireworks one year."
But Vallade isn't taking any chances. "Policies change as administrations change," she said.
The foundation's application for 501c3 status is currently pending with the Internal Revenue Service. Unlike contributions to the association, contributions to the foundation will be tax deductible once they receive IRS approval, he said.
Earlier this week, Vallade sent an email enlisting help and donations for the fireworks, to Paul Hartman, president of the Greater Towson Council of Community Associations, who was "more than happy to help," he said. Hartman said he will get the message out to the organization's 30 community associations.
Meanwhile, the foundation is staging a raffle for a $500 prize. Tickets are $2.They can be purchased through Vallade.
The foundation is equally in need of volunteers who would be willing to sell raffle tickets door-to-door, collect donations from local businesses, assist with clean-up and collect donations from spectators at the fireworks on the 4th of July.
Fireworks for Loch Raven began in the 1970s when the owners of the former Luskin's store staged an annual fireworks display on their parking lot of top of Luskin's Hill between Joppa Road and the Beltway. The display was visible for miles, according to Donna Spicer, a former fireworks volunteer and community activist.
Vallade recalls seeing it from her front porch after she moved to the Village 14 years ago.
After Luskin's opted to redevelop the parking lot and withdrew its sponsorship, the display ended up at the technical academy, Loch Raven's middle school, Spicer said. Through the years, various civic groups helped sponsor the fireworks. They included the Loch Raven Community Council, Loch Raven Business Association and the Loch Raven Kiwanis Club.
"We ended up pleading with the association to take it over," Spicer said.
Putting the fireworks display in the care of a foundation should be a big help," Spicer said. "Everybody who goes to watch the fireworks should contribute to keep the tradition going."
"Fireworks and backyard barbecues — it's America and apple pie," Vallade said.

Let 'Weird Al' Yankovic Teach Your Students Grammar
In May, I asked how teachers can address frequent student grammatical mistakes.
The response to that post generated a number of great suggestions.
But no response went so far as musician-comedian "Weird Al" Yankovic, who has a new music video, "Word Crimes," made in direct response (I'm guessing) to my post, detailing all those grammatical tics that drive some of us up a wall.
The song, if you're not up on your pop culture, is a parody of Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," except helpful and not misogynist. And it takes on "literally," which is figuratively the worst thing.
Yankovic isn't the only celebrity hitting the good grammar bandwagon, though. Kelsey Grammer, of both "Frasier" and appropriate homophone fame, recently joined Twitter to help fix social media's grammatical problems "one 'helpful' tweet at a time."
Today I stumbled upon this specimen. Can someone elaborate on this canine's purpose (and atrocious grammar)? pic.twitter.com/ekhUaG8GUv
-- Kelsey Grammer (@KelseyGrammer) July 11, 2014
Turning to those of you who contributed comments to my original blog post, here were some good takes on addressing grammatical issues:
User kpurdie reminded teachers to be cognizant of how student come to learn grammar in the first place:
I think we need to correct spoken and written grammar errors early and often. We also need to be sensitive to the students' home environment (where most oral language is learned) and not belittle their caretakers while correcting.
Joanne, meanwhile, decried the improper use of the word "myself," while also addressing my blog's initial question, on the misuse of the word "impact":
The only way we can stop kids from using "impact" as a verb (it's a noun and so is "access") is to stop politicians, TV news people, and pundits from using it that way.
(Some within my own organization, it should be noted, have had a significant impact on Education Week's own misuse of the word; I think I only turned up one verbal use of "impact" in 2014, at least in our news coverage.)
And dhong also brought up one I'd never thought about before, though now it irks me:
Along the same lines with the word "impact" is the word "invite." I learned it as a verb only, but I receive an invitation. I rarely, if ever, hear the use of invitation now.
But kenyadee noted that sometimes, you just have to surrender:
My high school assistant principal, who taught English, refused to teach whom believing it was falling out of usage. Language does change over time or we would all sound like the Pilgrims and other settlers.
Outdated grammar: That's for whom the bell tolls.

Chris Froome has sought to distance himself from recent controversies surrounding Team Sky and Dave Brailsford, insisting that he is much too preoccupied with early season training and looking after his one-year-old son to worry about such matters.
With the start of his season just a few weeks away, Froome said that it was not up to him to provide answers to questions regarding Team Sky and Bradley Wiggins's use of therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) and the mystery package delivered to the team at the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné.
>>> Team Sky 'confident' that UK Anti-Doping report will put them in the clear
"There's stuff going on, but we [the riders] are focussed on the performance side of things; we're out there training and trying to get ready for the season," Froome told press on Friday at his Monaco home.
"A lot of people have asked questions [about the TUEs] and we're still waiting to get a lot of those answers, but I don't see why that should go on into the 2017 Tour de France.
"I haven't talked to Dave Brailsford a huge amount. Over the off-season I've really switched off, and have only been in touch more recently, but that was only really about planning for next year.
"The parliament stuff is not something that I'm going out and thinking about every day, I'm more focussed on my training."
Aside from his training, there is another reason why the three-time Tour de France winner says he hasn't done much thinking about "parliament stuff": his one-year-old son.
"To be honest I've got my hands full with a one-year-old at home, so life has definitely changed.
"I'm no longer just waking up, having my breakfast, and going out training. Now I'm waking up, changing nappies, making his bottles.
"Life has definitely changed and it's really put things into perspective."
>>> Dave Brailsford faces scrutiny over claims he misled MPs about Fluimucil package
Even though Froome has not been thinking about the controversies that culminated in team boss Dave Brailsford appearing in front of MPs to reveal the contents of a Jiffy bag, he says that he understands why questions are being asked of the team.
However the 31-year-old insists that he can do nothing more than reiterate his own personal values about clean cycling and the ethical use of TUEs (which allow athletes to legally take otherwise banned substances to treat medical conditions), values that saw him turn down a TUE for an infection at 2015 Tour on moral grounds.
"I created my values. I put my values out there and tell people what my values are.
"I like to think that people can make up their own decisions about me, and that people understand where my values stand.
"For me personally, it'll just have to be the test of time. We might have to wait ten years to really show that I'm doing things right.
"I want people to trust me as an individual and trust what I'm doing."
