Coin Values Moving with Precious Metals: Up-Dated 6/29/2020: Gold $1773 | Silver $17.84
Find coin values listed here for all US coin series. If it has been awhile since you last checked, prepare for a rare and valuable surprise.
You likely have a little silver dime treasure in your box of old coins and because of the increasing price of precious metals any silver dime dated 1964 or earlier is worth at least $1.19 each. Silver quarters are valued at-or-above $2.99 and all pre 1965 silver half dollars are $6.01 or higher... see below.

From staff reports
Reaching the goal took a record-setting financial gift and more than three years of concerted effort by countless hands. But on Wednesday, July 9, it finally happened – the first class of medical students sat down to classes on the new Dublin campus of Ohio University's Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.
"We've been working so hard on this," said Heritage College Executive Dean Kenneth Johnson, D.O., as he welcomed the site's inaugural class of 50 students Thursday. "This campus is made possible through collaboration and teamwork."
The location is the first additional campus for the Heritage College since its founding in 1975, and the first regional campus Ohio University has opened since 1957, when the Eastern campus opened in Belmont County.
The Heritage College, Dublin, was made possible in part by the transformational $105 million gift in 2011 from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations. At the time it was the largest single gift ever made to an Ohio college or university and the largest gift to support primary care education. The funding was meant to address some of the state's and the nation's biggest health-care problems, including a looming shortage of primary care physicians.
Of the 50 incoming Dublin students, all but two are from Ohio. "We are training students from the area who will stay in the area to service the medical needs of communities in central Ohio," said William Burke, D.O., dean of the Dublin campus. Dublin students will spend all four years of medical school in central Ohio.
Dublin student Samuel Nobilucci, a longtime paramedic and a former clinic manager for OhioHealth, is a resident of the tiny village of Johnstown, Ohio, who wants to both study and practice in the region where he grew up. "One of my main reasons for choosing the Dublin campus was my connection to central Ohio," he said.
He said he's thrilled to be part of the inaugural class for the new campus, which represents an opportunity to plant a stronger community of osteopathic physicians in central Ohio. "We really have a chance to start something here, and be in on the ground floor of something that years from now can blossom into something fantastic," he said.
Both Nobilucci and Hannah Logsdon, another member of the first class in Dublin, are living embodiments of the Dublin campus's mission – Ohio residents who want to stay and practice medicine in central Ohio.
Logsdon, an Akron resident who recently married a man from Mansfield, said the central Ohio site was an obvious choice for her, since she hopes to find a residency in the area and ultimately practice in the region. She said an extra bonus is the Columbus-area medical community, which is "just so nice and tightly knit."
Several events brought members of the central Ohio medical community to the new campus during its opening week, including a Wednesday evening picnic sponsored by the Columbus Academy of the Ohio Osteopathic Association and a Thursday morning welcome that introduced students to the college's major partners in the venture, the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations and OhioHealth.
"On behalf of the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations, we're just so proud of this campus and Dr. Johnson, the entire faculty and Dr. Burke," said Richard Vincent, OHF president and CEO. "What a great experience for you all. Make us proud."
Representatives from OhioHealth – the Heritage College's pre-eminent education partner at Dublin – added their chorus welcoming the new students.
Vice President of Medical Education Doug Knutson, M.D., told the students that the role of the physician has changed drastically since his student years. Today's physician, he said, must be both more team-oriented and more tech-savvy than past generations.
"I didn't learn much about being on a team when I was in medical school, but you guys are going to learn a lot about teamwork because in order to keep our population well, it takes a team of people," Dr. Knutson said. "You also have to be a master of finding information in an age of technology. The good news about that is you're in excellent hands."
Greg Morrison, M.D., OhioHealth's vice president for educational partnerships and professional diversity, spoke of the "creative destruction" that is remaking the health-care industry and higher education, and pushing medical schools like the Heritage College to grow and adapt. "Some colleges will probably not be around when the creative destruction finishes," Morrison predicted. "But many of them will probably be better."
The new Heritage College, Dublin, campus, he suggested, will help the students play a key role in "leading the ongoing transformation of health care."
Earlier in the week on the Athens campus, Dr. Johnson told the 50 Dublin students –and their 140 classmates enrolled at Athens – that they were part of a momentous transformation. "I believe that you are pioneers; you are truly pioneers," he said.
He challenged the students to be one class even though they are on two campuses – with a third campus set to open in Cleveland next July. "I am asking for your feedback as we grow to ensure a successful integration of the campuses," Dr Johnson said. "You will be a big part of that success, as you develop and share ideas for making this experience better – ideas that we haven't even thought of yet."
The Heritage College, Dublin, includes 63,000 square feet of space across three buildings and sits on a 14.8 acre site purchased from the city of Dublin in 2012. The city also gifted Ohio University 46 adjacent acres for further development.
The Heritage College, Dublin, project, budgeted at $24.7 million, included $11 million to buy the site; $8.5 million for work by Pepper Construction of Ohio; $2.2 million for BHDP Architects and related expenses; and $3 million for furniture, fixture and information technology-related costs. Ohio University Facilities Planning and Space Management managed the project.

In search of a safer route to school
Worldwide movement gets local, with goal of getting kids to walk, bike to school, improving infrastructure
For most families with school-age children, walking or riding a bike to school is unheard of.
Today, fewer than 15 percent of children who live within a couple of miles of their school walk or bike, according to federal transportation statistics. The decline coincides with a rise in childhood obesity and poor air quality around schools, experts say.
But even if walking or biking is unrealistic for some, health, safety and education professionals want to make the routine of getting to and from school safer for everyone — children, parents, motorists and teachers.
That's the goal of "Safe Routes to Schools," a worldwide movement designed to increase the number of children who walk or ride a bike to school, while addressing health and environmental issues such as air pollution and traffic congestion. In the United States, federal and state Safe Routes programs provide funding for education and infrastructure improvements, such as sidewalks or pedestrian traffic signals.

Nowadays, the streets around a school on mornings and afternoons can look like an L.A. freeway, with cars idling in a blocks-long line. Children who do walk might be hiking along an unpaved shoulder and squeezing precariously between cars. Safe Routes supporters aim to change that.
Increasing safety around schools to encourage walking or biking was the subject of a recent forum, where participants learned about making changes in myriad ways, from simple and grass-roots to large-scale collaborations, whether it's organizing walking groups or working with officials to improve roads.
The San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency brought national public health, planning and transportation expert Mark Fenton to Escondido 3-13to conduct a Safe Routes training forum for about 60 people from around North County and beyond, including educators,
The Escondido Union School District will receive a state "Paving the Way to Safe Routes to School Grant" to support that mission through education and outreach. The district's CARE Youth Project, a collaboration that works for a "safer and healthier Escondido," applied for the $375,000 grant in October and is awaiting the funds.
CARE Youth Project Director Kimberly Israel said Safe Routes work starts with school-based discussion about what needs to be done to create safe surroundings, whether it's adding crossing guards or traffic-safety education.
"As we've been out at school sites, we've noticed kids are actually pretty good at following rules," Israel said. "It's the community that's running red lights. The conversation's starting in schools. But the reality is, they're community issues."
Fenton, who is unapologetically passionate about walkability and public health, started his visit at Mission Middle School to observe morning drop-off.
He buzzed around taking photos of the scene on busy, narrow Mission Avenue, as children darted across the roadway from nearby apartments, cars stacked up in two lines into the small driveway, and a crossing guard routinely faced cars ignoring a "no left turn" sign out of the school lot.
"The worst thing we can do is make pickup and drop-off faster and more convenient for cars," Fenton told the dozen or so observers with him. "We really have to think about convenience versus safety."
Safe Routes supporters may have to tackle the car-centric mindset of many parents, however.
Fenton's two-hour presentation at the training forum focused on why the Safe Routes premise centers on what's best for kids, not adults.
"Why am I such a lunatic about this? This is the first generation in American society that's going to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents," Fenton said. "That is completely unacceptable."
Healthy children also means better academic performance and classroom behavior, he added.
Distance is the No. 1 reason given for not walking to school, Fenton said. Locally, children may attend outside their neighborhood under a transfer, parents might opt for a charter school across town, or teens might attend a high school because of a special program.
Traffic concerns are a close second reason that parents give for driving to school, and it's "parents worried about traffic creating the traffic," Fenton said.
Some solutions are big and long-term, such as traffic signals, sidewalk improvements, or additional crosswalks. But costly solutions aren't the only answer, he said, encouraging community members to look around and start small.
One Safe Routes concept that Fenton urged people to consider was "remote alternative parking." With remote parking, parents and bus drivers would use a space a short distance from school, like a nearby park or church parking lot.
Fenton told of a success story in a Missouri town that not only solved traffic congestion, it reinvigorated the park that students walked through to reach school. Students were noticeably better behaved after a brisk 10-minute walk, and the chaos of drop-off was eliminated.
The Safe Routes forum sent participants back to their cities and schools with tangible ideas.
"We really (wanted) to get them to the point where they have a couple of things to take away and get going and … to have a really good understanding of what Safe Routes is, how to look for funding," said Jenel Lem, a community health promotions specialist with the county.
Sam Hasenin, a Vista traffic engineer, said the city is working on a comprehensive approach to Safe Routes. "This begins with reaching out to the community and understanding their needs through engaging them in activities that encourage walking and biking," he said.

In this post, the second in our series of blogs on what advisors need to know about variable annuities, we will examine the mechanics of the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB).
In a variable annuity with a GLWB, the underlying account grows each year based on the performance of the account's investment portfolio net of withdrawals and fees. The highest account value attained is saved and this becomes the high-water mark for all future periods.
Withdrawals begin by taking the withdrawal percentage specified by the contract (5%, for example) and multiplying that figure by the high-water mark. The withdrawal amount, along with fees, is subtracted from the actual account value, and the returns of the underlying portfolio are added to calculate the new actual account value.
If the new actual account value is greater than the old high-water mark, then the new high-water mark is set to the new actual account value. If not, then the high-water mark remains the same.
Payments are calculated and made via the above mechanism until the actual account value goes to zero or the investor dies. If the actual account value goes to zero, then the insurance company steps in and continues making the annual payments for the life of the contract. If the investor dies, the remaining actual account value is paid as a death benefit.
The following graphs show sample calculation of payments, actual account value and high-water mark for a VA with a 5% GLWB where withdrawals begin immediately. The example begins with an initial investment of $100,000, has fees of 3% and a portfolio return of 5% a year.
The first two graphs show the gap between the actual account value, and the high-water mark starts for the first and second year once withdrawal benefits are taken.
Calculation for the first year with a return of 5% on the underlying portfolio
Calculation for the second year with a return of 5% on the underlying portfolio
The third graph shows 10 years of the calculation with each year having a 5% return on the underlying portfolio.
The fourth graph shows the full 10-year example, but with an annual portfolio return of 8%.
The final graph shows the full 10 year example, but with an annual portfolio return of 9%.
What these graphs demonstrate is that if the underlying portfolio generates 5% returns, an investor receives constant payments in nominal dollars but will never have an increase in payments.
It takes a return of at least 8% per year to keep the actual account value close to the high-water mark upon which payments are calculated. Even then, there is no increase in the payments.
All the examples show nominal amounts. Factoring in inflation would show that the payments have shrinking purchasing power, except when returns are high for extended periods.
Even with the 9% a year return the payments only increase slightly. The only way the investor receives an increase in payments is if the account value net of withdrawals and fees plus the returns on the remaining account balance during the year rises above the current high-water mark.
So to keep the account value even with the guarantee level (assuming they start out that way), the return must beat the guaranteed withdrawal rate (5%) plus the fees (3.0% on average), or at least 8.0%. To get an increase in payments, the returns must beat that return each year. To match a 2.5% inflation rate, that return must be around 11% per year.
The important things to remember are that in addition to paying fees based on the portfolio's high-water market, the VA holder is actually making payments to himself from his own money until all those funds are exhausted. It is only then that the insurance company steps in for payments. You are paying yourself for many years before the insurance company pays anything.
Read the fine print: fees are taken in some policies on the high-water mark regardless of the actual account value. These fees lower your actual account value each year even more.
In the next installment, we'll take a look at the mechanics of the Guaranteed Lifetime Income Benefit (GLIB).

Just noticed Dan reached 500 caches yesterday when he did Sherwood Forest by Nially (GC1BHN3). An impressive achievement in a short amount of time for sure.
Now we have two Dan's to watch. (EMSDanel & dubord207) Actually I think Dan Dubord beat EMSDanel's very impressive record to 500 finds by a few days.
Now on to 1000!

Hey guys!
In the upcoming kite season I would like to concentrate on freestyle. Last season I learned jumps using kite, but I would really like to go into wakestyle.
I tried many, many times to do the simplest/most basic thing - load & pop. And I just couldn't!
When riding really fast I tried to go downwind a little and then very sharp upwind - on movies in that moment people were just throwed in the air, but I just stopped (and I didn't even had a chance to pop).
Maybe some of you guys had the same problem, and found a solution ?
Thanks for answers!

Attorney: Jones, Mother Will Plead Not Guilty
A Cincinnati Ben-Gals cheerleader has been indicted, accused of having sexual contact with a student while she was a teacher.
Attorney Charles Lester Jr. confirmed that Sarah Jones was indicted on charges of first-degree sexual abuse and unlawful use of electronic devices for illegal activities.
Jones resigned from her teaching job at Dixie Heights High School in November, citing personal reasons, shortly after the allegations came to light. She denied that anything happened.
"The student denies it. The parents of the student are upset that this has gone where it has gone. They don't have anything bad to say about Sarah. Sarah denies it," attorney Eric Deters said in December. "There's no victim. There's nobody saying 'Hey, this happened.'"
Deters is not currently Jones' attorney because he was suspended last month for ethics violations. He will take over the case when the suspension is lifted on April 24.
Commonwealth Attorney Rob Sanders will not be prosecuting the case because he had been sued by Deters, though the case was dismissed. A special prosecutor from Jefferson County will handle the case, Sanders said.
Lester also confirmed that Jones' mother, Cheryl Jones, was indicted on a charge of tampering with evidence.
Cheryl Jones is the principal at Twenhofel Middle School and was placed on paid administrative leave, according to Dixie Heights Superintendent Terri Cox-Cruey.
"She was at work when she learned what happened with the grand jury," Cox-Cruey said. "She will be on leave until we can monitor the situation and see what actions we need to take."
Cox-Cruey said she was surprised to hear about the indictments. She said she only learned of the allegations against Sarah Jones when police began investigating last November.
"The day the police openly investigated, that was the same day she submitted her resignation," Cox-Cruey said. "No parents or students ever approached me in all the years she worked for the district with any concern."
"It's just surprising, it's sad. That's all I can say right now," said Dixie Heights track coach Erin Leeper. "I just pray for the families and hope everything gets worked out the right way."
Melissa Boyers said she and her daughter, Mayrah, have known Cheryl Jones since Mayrah was a baby.
"I think she's great, and she's always nice to us and fair," said Twenhofel Middle School student Mayrah Boyers.
"I can't say she's guilty or not, but if it was my daughter and there was any kind of evidence out there, I'd try my best to get rid of it. I would," Melissa Boyers said.
Both women turned themselves in to authorities Thursday. Sarah Jones was given $50,000 bond, while Cheryl Jones was given $30,000 bond. They are scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning.
Lester said both women will plead not guilty.
"Sarah has maintained her innocence. The indictment of her mother is completely baseless. Cheryl Jones did not tamper with evidence," Lester said in a news release.
Sarah Jones won a libel suit against a website over articles it published in 2010, but that case is still pending an appeal.

"Somehow it was hard to believe that once upon a time there really had been something like the dodo out there in the world." —Harri Kallio
Combo Nature Preserve #6, Mauritius, 2004, from Harri Kallio's project The Dodo and Mauritius Island: Imaginary Encounters, was published in the summer 2006 issue of Aperture magazine alongside a text by Carlo McCormick. Researching the available historical and anatomical sources, Kallio produced life-size reconstructions of the long-extinct dodo bird in their natural habitat of Mauritius Island, the only place on earth where dodos ever existed.
The Dodo and Mauritius Island: Imaginary Encounters is a dialogue between the mythical, art historical, and biological dodo. This strange, flightless giant pigeon was eradicated between 1662 and 1693 when Dutch settlers destroyed the dodos' forest habitat, and introduced invasive predators which the dodo had never had before. The project involved extensive sculpture processes and construction, photography, and digital-imaging tools. The resulting work is a visual interpretation of a meeting between the viewer and the dodos in their seventeenth-century natural habitat.
Thanks to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland (1865); the dodo is our most well-known extinct species, living on in the collective memory of the Western world. "I was fascinated about the persistence of the dodo as a character appearing in so many different contexts," explains Kallio. "As an artist, seeing my dodo sculptures in the Mauritius Island landscape was a reward on its own."
Harri Kallio (born in Salla, Finland, 1970) received his master's degree in photography from the University of Arts and Design in Helsinki.

The Central Information Commission has directed the government to disclose all papers relating to the removal of Arvind Jadhav as the CMD of Air India and appointment of incumbent Rohit Nandan, in response to an RTI activist's appeal.
Activist Subhash Chandra Agarwal had appealed to the CIC saying that the government had not provided "any information on the ground that the desired records constituted Cabinet papers and therefore could not be disclosed."
Following the appeal, Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra gave a hearing to the government and the appellant on the issue and ordered that "after weighing the submissions and arguments made before us, we are of the view that the desired document should be disclosed."
"Even if it is admitted that these documents constitute part of the papers which had been put up before the
Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), the decision of the ACC has already been implemented; the then CMD of Air India has been reverted and a new incumbent appointed in his place.
"The above provision clearly stipulates that while, ordinarily, the Cabinet papers would not be disclosed, the
basis on which the Cabinet decision is taken including the documents placed before the Cabinet for this purpose must be disclosed once the decision is taken and completely implemented."
The CIC directed that Agarwal be provided "the relevant records which constituted the grounds for the government decision to revert the then CMD of the Air India and appoint someone else in his place" within 10 working days.
In his original RTI queries last year, Agarwal had, among other things, sought complete correspondence, documents and file notings on removal of Arvind Jadhav as Air India chief and appointment of Rohit Nandan in his place.
In mid-August last year, the government had decided to replace Jadhav and had handed over interim charge of Air India to Civil Aviation Ministry Joint Secretary Rohit Nandan, who was later made permanent as the CMD.

No "official" big screen for Penguins playoff games this year
Pittsburgh to host New York Rangers in Games 3 and 4 of first-round series in Stanley Cup Playoffs
The Pittsburgh hockey tradition of watching Penguins playoff games outdoors will not continue this season.
Due to construction at the former Civic Arena site, a big screen will not be set up outside Consol Energy Center as in years past.
The Pens are holding an online contest to give away tickets to each home playoff game. They're also giving away playoff yard signs at Dick's Sporting Goods stores, and they will distribute black-and-gold rally towels with admission to each home playoff game.
Some fans will be able to BYOC, or Bring Your Own Chair, to the Uptown Rooftop Lounge, located above Blueline Grill on Fifth Ave., to enjoy a view of Consol Energy Center and the game on their big screens.
VIDEO: Watch Shannon Perrine's report
The thousands of fans that usually show up to watch the playoff games won't fit, but a couple hundred might.
Uptown Lounge manager Brian Palmer says they want it to feel like the tailgate atmosphere fans are used to.
There will be a buffet for $16 per person, but there is no fee to get in to cheer on the Pens.
"They want to see excitement, especially com game four if something is on the line. Game six if we get a game 6," Palmer said. "It's going to be exciting to be down here. So it's a place where we want everybody to be and it's where we want to be."
Games 3 and 4 of Pittsburgh's first-round playoff series against the New York Rangers will be played at Consol Energy Center on April 20 and April 22. If there is a Game 6, it would also be played in Pittsburgh.

Chinese Elm Cascade Style Bonsai Tree
- A superb craggy cascade style elm
- This tree has a superb trunk, good bark and quality branch structure
- A rare opportunity to obtain a quality example of this classic informal style
- 16" tall overall. 24" wide overall.
- Planted in an unglazed stoneware bonsai pot (chipped, see pic's).
Chinese Elm Bonsai Tree
Ulmus parvifolia. Chinese elm are probably the best and most robust species used for Bonsai. The small oval serrated edge leaves are perfectly in proportion and the tree makes wonderful tight and fine twigging within just a few growing seasons. Very vigorous and hardy outdoors in most areas. We recommend keeping Chinese Elm Bonsai outside where temperatures do not drop lower than -6 Celsius. If kept outside the tree will lose most of it's leaves in winter thus displaying it's lovely fine ramification. Trees kept outside also develop incredible flaking bark after a few years. Prefer to be cool over the winter if kept indoors.
Keep in full sun to partial shade all year round. Water and feed very well. Re-pot every year if you want to maintain vigorous growth. Once fully mature re-pot every second year.
A superb craggy old elm with good basic branch structure. It's been years since we saw cascade style Chinese elm. Chinese elm of this quality are becoming increasingly hard to find (especially in larger sizes) as nurseries are under pressure to produce ever cheaper plants, we were very lucky to turn up just a couple of these impressive bonsai trees recently. It's taken years on end to produce this tree, the quality and age shows too. About the best value available in bonsai today pound for pound.
Planted in an unglazed bonsai pot (chipped, see pictures).
The subject pictured is the EXACT plant we will send you. Appearance may vary depending upon the season.
In stock and available for delivery within two or three working days.
Price includes delivery to any U.K mainland address (except Highlands and Islands).

Office for Mission Integration and Mercy Heritage
Established in 2004, the Office for Mission Integration and Mercy Heritage assists the Saint Xavier University community to become more focused on, intentional about, and accountable for pursuing its educational mission as a Catholic and Mercy institution.
Accordingly, the Office for Mission Integration and Mercy Heritage has a threefold focus:
- Supporting and contributing to the academic excellence of the University's undergraduate and graduate programs
- Promoting and deepening the University community's understanding of and engagement with Saint Xavier's Catholic identity; and
- Fostering and enlivening the University community's appreciation for and embodiment of Saint Xavier's Mercy heritage, past and present.
To advance these aims, the Office for Mission Integration and Mercy Heritage (MH) sponsors a variety of programs and events for both the University and the neighboring communities. Primary emphasis, however, falls on endeavors designed to acquaint faculty, staff, and students with the many dimensions of Saint Xavier's Catholic identity and Mercy character. Beyond mere acquaintance, MH seeks to help members of the University community appropriate and deepen those two dimensions of Saint Xavier's institutional ethos and mission.
Collaboration is key to MH effectiveness. At Saint Xavier, such collaboration stretches across all areas of University life. In particular, MH regularly works with offices engaged in orientation programs for students, staff, and faculty, as well as with academic programs related to mission-centered opportunities.
Beyond Saint Xavier, MH is active with national organizations committed to Catholic and faith-based higher education. Among these organizations are the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU), the Conference for Mercy Higher Education (CMHE), and the Lilly Fellows Program. UMH encourages faculty and staff participation in and presentations at the annual ACCU conference and the biennial CMHE conference. SXU's administrative and faculty representatives to the Lilly Fellows Program also work closely with or are members of the UMH staff.
MH activities and events are funded through grants, SXU funds, and an endowment created by the Sisters of Mercy and many generous donors.

Occupy Dresses Up Activist in Santa Suit
But Santa couldn't follow the rules everyone else has to follow, so Santa got arrested.
Vinger said a Texas State Preservation Board employee asked Peterson to stop defacing Capitol grounds, and he refused. Another suspect was arrested for criminal mischief as well, Vinger said.
Members of Occupy Austin, which "believes that the use of washable sidewalk chalk is constitutionally protected free speech," gathered at the Travis County Courthouse on Friday night to protest the arrests, according to a statement.
Another man was arrested, who was "named by Occupy Austin as Corey Elf."
Watch as this douchebag cries while a crowd, including at least one small child, watches.
Not every idiot in a Santa suit is Santa, little guy. Best you learned now.

If your Concord MA driveway is cracked and needs repair, the expert driveway repair team at Atlas Asphalt & Sealcoat are here to help. We offer professional driveway repair and sealcoating services to homeowners in Concord MA. Our mission is to provide quality, friendly and professional asphalt driveway repair and sealing services at a reasonable price. We are focused on helping our Concord MA customers maintain their driveways and enhance their homes by using top quality materials and crack sealer. Atlas Asphalt & Sealcoat is fully licensed and insured and we guarantee all of our work.
Winters in New England take a toll on asphalt driveways. To help preserve the life of the asphalt driveway it is recommended to sealcoat the driveway every couple of years. Sealcoating fills surface voids and reduces the depth to which oil or gas can penetrate the pavement. Sealcoating also acts as a waterproofing agent, minimizing the rate at which water enters pavement. Without it, water can permeate more freely, resulting in freeze/thaw expansion and contraction of the pavement. Regular maintenance of your Concord MA driveway results in lower cost future repairs to damaged asphalt.
Contact Atlas Asphalt & Sealcoat for a free asphalt driveway repair estimate in Concord MA. Call 781-697-9903 or complete our driveway sealcoat estimate online.

Howard Co. probes several daytime break-ins
Police: Thieves kicking down doors, stealing valuables
Howard County police are asking residents to be extra vigilant after a string of daytime burglaries occurred in the past week in which people's doors have been kicked in.
Police said they've been investigating at least 10 cases since Monday in Ellicott City, Columbia, Elkridge, Clarksville and Woodbine.
In each case, police said someone kicked in a locked door to get inside to steal jewelry, electronics and cash. Police said in many of the cases, they believe the culprit knocked on the doors first to see if anyone was home.
Ellicott City burglary victim Chris, who did not wish to give his last name, said what happened to him and a number of his neighbors just doesn't make sense.
He said Monday he returned home at around 2 p.m. to find the back door of his home kicked in and a number of valuables inside stolen, including his tickets to the Thursday night Ravens game.
"They just got some coins and they were looking for jewelry and things like that, so that's really all I know. They got Ravens tickets, too," Chris said.
Chris' home break-in is one of about a dozen that police are looking into that have occurred since Monday.
Police are urging residents to be aware and report any suspicious activity in their communities.
"He is knocking on doors to see if residents are home. When he finds a resident at home, he asks for someone who doesn't live there and then quickly leaves," Howard County police spokeswoman Sherry Llewellyn said.
Police said they believe that all of the break-ins are related and are most likely being committed by the same person.
Authorities said they almost got a huge break in the case after the man was spotted by a 13-year-old boy.
"A 13-year-old boy was at home when he heard someone knocking loudly at the front door. He didn't answer and soon after the door was kicked in, when the suspect realized that someone was inside the house he ran away quickly," Llewellyn said.
Residents should be sure to lock their doors at all times, with dead bolts if possible, and to keep valuables in an unexpected place so they're not easy for burglars to find.
The cases that are believed to be linked happened in the following areas:
In Ellicott City: The 4000 block of Chatham Road, 9100 block of Northfield Road, 3900 block of Cloverly Road, 3900 block of Foxhill Drive and 3500 block of Rosemary Lane.
In Columbia: The 5000 block of Amesbury Drive and 10200 block of Clarksville Pike.
5600 block of Trotter Road in Clarksville
5900 block of Meadow Rose in Elkridge
3500 block of Hipsley Mill Road in Woodbine
Anyone with information on any of the cases should call 911.

If you've read The Omnivore's Dilemma or seen the documentaries Fresh! and Food, Inc. then you already know that the problem with food today is that most of it is produced less for the benefit of eaters than for the profit of agribusiness corporations.
But going on about confinement chicken houses or lakes of pig manure at factory farms might be kind of a heavy message for a family member, friend or co-worker whose interest in food extends only as far as how it tastes, what it costs and whether it will make you fat or not. If you would like to open a restaurant that uses local food as their ingredients, then you need to make sure that you have the relevant equipment to help you achieve this. To get you started, you may want to check out Nella for some ideas on what to buy.
Eat Local: Simple Steps to Enjoy Real, Healthy & Affordable Food, is the book for smart people who haven't ever given their food, or the international market that distributes it, much thought.
Written by Wisconsin-based nutritionist Jasia Steinmetz, Eat Local talks just enough about the problems with long-distance industrial food to make the reader see that eating locally grown must be a better way. Then, the bulk of the book is all about helping the reader find that better way.
Topics range from questions to ask grocery store managers (Do you sell local food and label it as such and are you willing to add new local items?) to places to buy local food besides a grocery store (farmers markets, buying clubs, community supported agriculture, farm stands) to a chapter on the Slow Food movement that makes it seem positively, well, unpretentious.
Hold the burger, double lettuce
Steinmetz, like many of her nutritionist colleagues, doesn't hide her bias against meat and towards a vegetarian diet. And though she gives small-scale meat production a quick mention, it's clear that her heart is with "the plant based-diet," which she sees as not only healthier but also more compassionate.
Of course, a pasture-centric farmer like Joel Salatin, star of the aforementioned Omnivore's Dilemma and numerous documentaries, would quibble with both of these points, arguing that the problem is not meat per se, but rather, industrialized meat. Likewise, followers of Weston A. Price and fans of paleo and other traditional diets would demur from Steinmetz's distaste for the animal-based foods that have kept humans healthy since our ancestors stood on two feet in the Rift Valley of Africa.
But Steinmetz isn't too dogmatic, which helps make Eat Local a good introduction to the subject. The book's accessible prose and cuddly book design (here, I actually don't mind the publisher's use of clip art) add to the feeling of welcome.
At the book's end, there's even a bit for the reader more experienced in local food issues, including a nice list of Internet resources, whether you want to find places to buy local food around in your area or join an activist groups such as the National Family Farm Coalition or the Community Food Security Coalition.
As somebody who wants to make food an issue for local government, I was interested to learn about Farm to School programs (there's even funding available from the USDA) and Food Policy Councils, that support local ordinances friendly to local food from zoning to curbside compost.

So, this week the came the official and announcement of the 2011 Jazz Fest poster. The poster is a highly sought after commodity for many music consessieurs and collectors. Both the subjects and the artists vary through the years since the poster advertising the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 1975. The great Louis Prima was immortalized by the great Tony Bennett last year — a true collectors' item on several levels.
Probably the most identifiable and beloved Jazz Fest posters were done by James Michalopoulos. He uses the splendid French Quarter architecture as a backdrop for several New Orleans legends who have been mainstays of Jazz Fest and of New Orleans music. The series of Dr. John, Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino and Allen Toussaint all convey exactly what Jazz Fest is about and the greats that have made IT great.
And then there's the great Cajun artist, George Rodrigue, of Blue Dog fame — and recent savior of the Youngsville Heritage Oak. Rodrigue combines his iconical dark oak tree and ever-popular blue dog to immortalize Louis Armstrong (once again), Pete Fountain and the great Al Hirt.
Again, these images capture the essence of these great talents and their impact on Jazz music and making New Orleans its "Mecca".
So, imagine my surprise at this year's poster. First, the artist is Gordon Robinette. Robinette IS well known in New Orleans, but not as an artist. He is best known as a talking head/talk show host at WJBO radio station. I must say that as an artist, he is quite accomplished. I do like how he borrowed from the much beloved concept of Michalopoulos' use of French Quarter architecture and I am impressed that he includes a future Jimmy Buffett looking over his shoulder at the young, broke street performer behind a Falcon, no less. (Which reminds me…I have a long, lost story about a Falcon. But I digress…that's for another day.)
However, I am perplexed at just why Jimmy Buffett is featured on a JAZZ FEST poster? Now, don't get me wrong. My Jimmy love is strong. See here, here & here. But this choice seems a bit indulgent. Is it a payback for Jimmy's fantastic support during last year's oil spill crisis and his wonderful free concert that many homies considered his "homecoming" to the Gulf Coast?
Or, perhaps it was meant to bolster Jimmy's spirits after his recent dive off the stage in Australia? A pat on the back for investing in the coast by expanding his Magaritaville franchise in Pensacola, FL and Biloxi, MS? Dunno. But one thing I DO know is that Jimmy Buffett is not the impactful son of the South that the other icons that graced Jazz Fest posters before him.
I DO love Jimmy…but I'm conflicted. He is from Mobile, AL…where I live. He has played here ZERO times since he graduated from McGill Institute back in 1966 (He was a cheerleader, for Christ's sake). His concert at the Gulf was the first time he's played there in forever, even though his sister, Lulu, has a VERY popular bar/restaurant on the Intercoastal Canal in Gulf Shores. Jimmy is more a child of Key West and the Carribean. A few years ago, he started playing Jazz Fest, but he has NEVER been a staple there. While Robinette's portrait refers to Jimmy's street performing in the late '60s, the fact is that Jimmy Buffett spent a relatively short period of time on the gummy, stinky streets of the French Quarter before heading out to Californina and ultimately, grounding himself in South Florida.
So, to wrap this all up…I am pumped up about the Jimmy poster because of the awesomeness that is Jimmy Buffett and all he stands for. But in true Libra fashion, I am disappointed that something that has generally been pure and true to its' core concerning subjects chosen to promote one of the most fantastic musical experiences on Earth has chosen a subject that is, well, not exactly true to itself.
And, just to quench that burning question of MY favorite Jazz Fest poster EVAH?
Because, IT'S IRMA, baby!!

Professor Dickson Despommier is a dreamer and I applaud him for it. So do many others. Since I first posted in August about Despommier and his vision of growing food in urban skyscrapers, this blog has gotten hundreds of hits a week under the search term, "vertical farming." Sometimes it comes up as "vertikal farming" and I know that the Germans are curious, too.
Last night, before a sold-out crowd, the professor and other experts presented a panel entitled, "Designing Urban Farms to Feed New York" by the Municipal Art Society. In addition to Despommier, the panel was moderated by the Washington Post columnist Neal Pierce, and included:
- Colin Cathcart, a Brooklyn-based architect with a deep portfolio in sustainable building.
- Jenn Nelkin, Greenhouse Director for Gotham Greens, the first hydroponic rooftop farm in New York.
- Nevin Cohen, assistant professor of Environmental Studies at the New School. From the event literature: "His current research focuses on urban food policy, particularly innovative planning strategies to support food production in the urban and peri-urban landscape…".
- Dan Albert, a landscape designer out of Seattle who was part of the team that developed the conceptual Eco-laboratory, a self-sustaining building that produces its own energy, food and water.
From the evening's discussion I learned that we are going to address our problems of food supply and climate change in many different ways. While Despommier advocated for vertical farming, Nevin Cohen suggested growing food on urban public lands, among other ideas. What if cities grew fruit and nut trees in the parks that the public could harvest? Later in the talk, Cohen got cheers when he said that he still likens farming to soil, not purely hydroponics.
Jenn Nelkin offered a conciliatory acknowledgment that the answer is going to be in some of all these solutions. (And there were many more.) In fact, Nelkin continued, for experts in these topics, the nuances are still very much in development. Often when she's in a conversation about her rooftop farm, she's asked, "Which type of hydroponic system are you using?" The answers are evolving on many levels.
The tipping point will come when the financing solidifies. All the panelists agreed there is a growing demand for safe, sustainable, urban food production. We're still searching for ways, however, to make the food affordable to the broad population and provide a good living wage to workers. Regretfully, one of the audience questions that did not get discussed was, "Can urban farmers afford to live in New York City?" I personally believe their role will be as important as doctors dispensing medicine, so I would hope so.
The theme of the night was big vision. Let's imagine what the future can hold: Blooming verdant skyscrapers, apples from down the block, factory rooftops full of produce, and a good portion of the urban population ready to have our hands in the dirt. As my friend Michael Beneville says when he hears a good idea, "Let's dream that into existence."

Binh sent me these sharp-looking clever flyers he did over in Germany, pretty witty and they look good too.

If I had a goal for my portfolio, it would be to have it as comprehensive, prestigious, polished, signature as Andrio Abero's (33rpm). You might have seen the top one for My Morning Jacket, and like me have wondered who was responsible for the cleanliness, wonderful palette and textured style.

I've been trying to stick to the smaller medium, straying as much as I can from posters, but this one for Raking Leaves in the Wind really is impressive. I don't see how work like this can be ignored. It's something that just pulls you in, just upon a glance. So much depth, textures; its practically tangible. See Eve Dumahel's portfolio for more.
Bird Carnival
Forgot where I found this from, but it's just so eye-catching but simple. Love the subtle textures, the color, and great use of space and space-filling.
I really love how someone was able to fit in all that information rather creatively, its just an example of great planning (or superior layout intuition) that blends in with the image but also yells at you simultaneously.
This Is not London - Poster
One of a pretty large series of events, You might remember something familiar from my other This Is Not London flyer a while back, which had a really ugly typesetting job on the back; too horrid even to show. This is the poster that I was talking about that did a much better job; it even looks like a real neon glow effect; simple but very well executed, especially with the colors. Thanks to George for forwarding that over, I couldn't find one on the streets that wasn't demolished by rain.

Just a few pieces I was able to scrounge up for the SXSW festival. The first and last one seem to be the strongest.
Hard Rave Life
There are only a few styling elements in here, but they're well chosen. The font of the headline complements the random lines behind it, when juxtaposed on the colored background makes for a centerpiece that really seems to pop-off the paper. I might be biased, its a very similar palette as my portfolio page.
Another texture-heavy piece. Love the powerful color. The random items piled together for the background complete the composition nicely. Done for Vessel in San Francisco. First piece via Flying Flyer.

This guy has some sick designs. The typography and color schemes are spot-on, typography and layout unconventional, and the imagery ranging from well-planned simplicity to overwhelming details. What really sets his stuff apart is the little things he throws in, like the Split-open "FRIENDLY" on the last piece, the shadows and textures on the second (Jailhouse), and the textures on the first.
Matter - London
Simon Lord
This guy is another talented illustrator/gig flyer designer from the UK. Even without color, the doodles are so random that they instantly evoke a "WTF?" or a "this is awesome" response.
Its About Time
Love the unique presentation of the title...A pun of sorts but very well executed. Nothing wasted. Very simple, efficient and straightforward. It's minimal but it gets the job done of being attractive.
Rich Medina
Rich Medina isn't the designer of this one, but you gotta love the typography that resembles scribbles but still pretty clear. Semi-retro, young, vibrant, and breathes energy from the color scheme to the layout. And I love the chunky text work for the artist's name on the front, it's simple but it still sticks out hard.
Another one from SF. It doesn't seem to grab my eye instantly, but you can appreciate the styling of the collage on the front, as well as the typography and layout on the back. What do you think? Vote on it!

How Can Health Impact Assessments Lead to Better Policy Decisions?
Many of the biggest policy decisions that impact our well-being are made outside of the health and healthcare sectors. For example, local zoning and transportation planning, state budget decisions, and federal agriculture and energy policies can all impact our health.
Health impact assessments (HIAs) allow policy-makers to consider how proposed policies that may seem unrelated to health would affect health, and could be used to improve it. HIAs can also help marshal community support for a project, facilitate collaboration across sectors, and offer benefits for businesses.
More than 200 HIAs that are focused on policies at all levels of government have been completed or are in progress across the country.
This Health Policy Snapshot, published online in March 2013, examines how HIAs can benefit the health care sector. Read more from RWJF's Health Policy Snapshot series.

Forest held by battling Tykes
Nottingham Forest's npower Championship play-off chances suffered a blow as Barnsley had the woodwork to thank as they stole a point in a goalless draw at the City Ground.
Forest created enough chances to win by a comfortable margin, but Henri Lansbury, Andy Reid and Billy Sharp were all denied by the woodwork, while Reds goalkeeper Luke Steele produced a host of top-drawer saves.
The stalemate means that Forest missed the chance to return to the top six and they are two points adrift of sixth-placed Bolton with two games to go.
Barnsley will be more than happy to take a draw as they were barely able to get out of their own half, but it goes a long way to helping their fight against the drop as they are a point adrift of safety as the season enters its climax.
A run of five games without a win, with the last two being defeats, saw Forest come into this game needing a victory to reignite those top-six designs and they started on the front foot.
They could have been celebrating an early goal, but after good work by Elliott Ward and Radoslaw Majewski, Simon Cox's shot was deflected just wide.
Forest's domination continued and they came even closer to breaking the deadlock midway through the first period when Lansbury climbed highest from Majewski's corner, but his header hit the bar and Barnsley survived.
The Tykes, desperate for points for their own ambitions at the other end of the table, could not stem the tide and were reliant on goalkeeper Steele to keep them on level terms.
First he palmed away Sharp's header and was then equal to Adlene Guedioura's fierce effort from distance.
Flitcroft's side were fortunate to get to the break with the scoreline at 0-0, but there was no respite for them after the restart.
Martin Cranie cleared off the line after Steele was unable to collect, but the stopper was back to form moments later when he superbly kept out Lansbury's diving header.
Forest's pursuit of an opener was incessant, with Steele at it again as he superbly tipped Reid's effort onto the post before the woodwork was rattled for a third time of the afternoon when Sharp hit a volley into the upright.
Danny Collins headed over as Billy Davies men continued to push for a winner, but Barnsley somehow held on, with Forest now up against it in the play-off race.

Please visit CUNY Veterans Affairs website for more information.
Who do I see on my campus about resources for students who are veterans?
Each CUNY college has appointed a veterans affairs representative to address the needs of veterans on campus. Baruch College has a veterans' affairs representative. Certifying Official, John Seto works with veteran students to ensure they are receiving appropriate educational and financial aid benefits. The Veteran's affairs representative can be reached at (646) 312-1264 see above for hours. He is located at the Registrar's Office Room 850 at 151 E. 25th Street.
How do I know if I am eligible for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) educational assistance?
You may be eligible for VA educational assistance if: A) You are on, or were on active duty for at least two years, and received any honorably characterized discharge; B) You have a six-year obligation in the Selected Reserves, and remain in good standing with your reserve unit; or C) You are a spouse or child of a veteran who died or was totally disabled while in military service. Your college's veterans' affairs representative can help you determine eligibility.
How do I start my VA educational assistance benefits at the college?
Read How to Apply for Benefits section.
For Chapter 33, Post 9/11 GI Bill Benefits go to www.gibill.va.gov
Do I have to reapply for benefits if I am transferring into CUNY?
No, you do not have to reapply. Once you have applied and have received benefits at one CUNY institution, you need only complete a form to change your place of training and a brief personal data form. This can be done through your campus's veterans' affairs representative.
Will the benefit check be sent to CUNY?
No, the educational benefit checks are sent directly to you or your dependent, but arrangements can be made for direct deposit, which can be requested when you apply for benefits. Direct deposit is available for all programs except for Chapter 35 educational assistance.
How long will it take to receive my benefits?
First-time applicants should expect to have to wait at least 6 to 8 weeks from the time the enrollment certification is sent before payment is received. Continuing students will be processed quicker provided there have not been any changes in program or address.
Are VA educational benefits taxable?
No, veteran's benefits, paid under any law and administered by the VA should not be reported as income to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
I receive Chapter 30 or Chapter 1606 educational benefits and have to verify my enrollment each month. How do I do that?
Anyone receiving Chapter 30 benefits (MGIB- Active Duty) or Chapter 1606 benefits (MGIB- Selected Reserves) must verify their enrollment each month to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in order to receive payment for that month. Your enrollment can be verified on the last calendar day of the month by using the Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) system or by calling the toll free, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) telephone line, at 1-877-823-2378.
Paper verification forms (VA Forms 22-8979) will no longer be issued for students receiving Chapter 30 benefits.
Do students receiving Chapter 35 educational assistance need to verify their enrollment each month ?
No, dependents or spouses receiving educational assistance under Chapter 35 do not have to verify their enrollment to the VA each month.
Can I arrange for direct deposit at any time?
Yes, Chapter 30 and Chapter 1606 recipients may request the direct deposit option by completing VA Form 22-0296 or through your e-benefits account.
How can I update my address or financial institution information for direct deposit?
If you are currently receiving benefits, or have received benefits in the last year, you can use the WAVE system to update your address or your financial institution information. Visit the G.I. Bill WAVE page, and follow the instructions on to WAVE. Follow the links to change your address and your direct deposit information on the "Main Menu" page of WAVE.
What happens if I drop a course during the semester?
If you drop a course and the adjustment changes your training time you must notify your college's veterans' affairs representative so that this official can then inform the VA of a change in training time. This must be done even if you have already notified the VA on the WAVE system. A change in training time will affect your rate of payment, and failure to notify your college's veterans' affairs representative in a timely manner could result in an overpayment.
What happens if I am activated during the semester?
If you are activated during a semester, you have a number of options open to you depending upon the length of the deployment. You should first discuss this situation with your advisor and instructors to help you decide upon a course of action. The options available to you would range from special arrangements for make-up work, to an incomplete grade, to withdrawal from a course or semester. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs would pay you educational assistance benefits up to the date you withdraw or resign from a course or semester. For more information see Returning or Leaving for Active Duty.
If I am a member of the New York State Air/Army National Guard or New York State Naval Militia and wish to participate in the Educational Incentive Plan that pays for my tuition at any CUNY college, do I apply at a college office?
No, you must apply through your unit for the New York State Educational Incentive Plan using DMNA Form 96-1. You can then obtain a Tuition Deferment, and must inform the bursar that the NYS Department of Military & Naval Affairs will be making payments.
Is it possible to attain college credit for military service?
Veterans who are matriculating students may earn up to 18 credits in United States Armed Forces Institute courses, in which they have passed final exams, and for other military education and training. The decision regarding the granting of credit for these courses resides with the individual colleges.
Are there any academic support services available to students who are veterans?
Some veterans are eligible for tutorial benefits. In order to be eligible for tutorial benefits, veterans must be receiving monthly veteran's benefits on at least a half-time basis. Such veteran students are entitled to 12 months of tutorial benefits to a maximum of $100.00 per month. Contact your veterans' affairs representative for additional information.
In addition to college work-study, are there any work-study programs designed to assist veterans?
Students may be eligible for Veteran's Work Study benefits. In order to be eligible, students must be receiving full-time veterans' benefits. Such students can work up to 750 hours per year at a rate of at least the federal minimum wage.
Are all dependents of veterans eligible to receive educational benefits?
No, only dependents that are eligible for the Fry Scholarship or Chapter 35, Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance Program may be considered for benefits. Chapter 35 provides educational assistance to the spouses and children of veterans who died while on active duty or were totally disabled due to their military experience. The Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship (Fry Scholarship) provides Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to the children and surviving spouses of Service members who died in the line of duty while on active duty after September 10, 2001.

Who Wore What – The Answers feat.Ashley Olsen & Cameron Diaz
Today's What Was She Wearing: Answers! has information and options galore. As always, the story is brought to you by the finest of interns—Allison and Jessica.
Ashley Olsen
Ashley Olsen has been putting up a thick shield between her eyes and the sun with this pair of sunglasses from Tom Ford. The retro, plastic aviators, similar to Oakley sunglasses of old, come with two sets of interchangeable lenses, which click in at the center, giving them a thicker appearance. The Hawkings Aviator Sunglasses have gold hardware and are available in light havana and black frames ($490, saksfifthavenue.com).
Cameron Diaz
You've gotta applaud Cameron Diaz. She's a reliable source that WWWD readers to look to when they need inspiration for pretty, casual wear. Seen here in Beverly Hills a few weeks ago, she makes an impression as the first celebrity spotted carrying a Gucci Peggy Natural bag ($1450, gucci.com). For those interested, we found a budget-conscious alternative in Cynthia Rowley's Vienna Rattan Tote ($295, shopbop.com). Diaz also wore a flowing ivory cotton top by Hale Bob, which is currently sold out ($212, halebob.com). Free People makes a few similar styles that we like, the Plunging V Top ($78, freepeople.com) and the Free People Tunic ($88, madisonlosangeles.com).
Emma Watson
Without question (at least for us), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is an awesome film. Potter love aside, we're equally enthralled with the demure and lovely outfits Emma Watson's wore while promoting the film. Judging by the number of inquiries in our inbox, we weren't the only ones paying attention to her selections. After some research, we noticed a pattern in the attire that Emma has showcased: Chanel, Chanel, Chanel. The reason behind this consistency makes sense— it was just announced she's the fashion house's latest face, but back to your questions. Above, at the Late Show with David Letterman, Emma is wearing a 3.1 Phillip Lim dress ($390, elevenboutique.com), accompanied by Chanel's Charleston shoes from the 2006 Cruise Collection ($660, chanel.com).
Lauren Conrad
You'd expect a fashion student, Teen Vogue intern, and designer to have impeccable and innovative style. Lauren Conrad—who's all three of these things and has a little TV show called The Hills—lives up to the expectation. Readers wanted to know about the outfit she recently wore for on a night out in Los Angeles. Her top is actually a dress that Lauren fashioned to look like a cami. This "top" is the As U Wish Taffeta Babydoll Dress by Brass Plum, a.k.a. B.P. the junior's collection from Nordstrom. It is available online in black and rose ($68, nordstrom.com). If you aren't as crafty as Lauren, we like the bow cami from Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent in smoke ($174, shopbop.com). As for the rest of the outfit, Lauren paired dark, skinny zip Lux jeans ($68, urbanoutfitters.com) with a pair of black peep toe pumps by Dolce Vita ($70 on sale, urbanoutfitters.com). Finally, Lauren carried a vintage Chanel bag she picked up in Manhattan. Resurrection Vintage has an amazing selection of similar items, check their website and store for details (323.651.5516, resurrectionvintage.com).

there were 10 children in my mom's family. five of them are dead. three of them died of various types of cancer. i hate that word. i hate that disease. i hate that God allows it to take people away from me.
i am driving to south carolina tomorrow to see my cousins. a handful of us who were joined by mothers who were sisters are now joined as cousins without moms. so, we will be together...the cousins. that is a good thing.
because we are not supposed to do life alone. we are supposed to do life together. especially the hard parts. it's all about community. i have lots of thoughts on that lately, and hopefully i can share them sometime soon.

- "You think you're a big man. Where's your house on Middle Park East? Where's your big sports team, huh?"
- ―Galina mocking Ray during In the Crosshairs.
Galina Bulgarin (Russian: Галина Булгарина) is an unseen (but heard) character in The Ballad of Gay Tony and the sister of Ray Bulgarin.
Events of The Ballad of Gay Tony
During Going Deep, she complains about how Ray mistreats her, and how he has moved his sports and music memorabilia into her house. Galina also insults Ray about how he doesn't have friends or a business and that he has a tiny penis because his wrestling coach made him take steroids. Ray fires AK-47 bullets into the ceiling of their house in both of the missions she appears in, but during In the Crosshairs, Bulgarin fires bullets into the ceiling intensely until Galina can be heard screaming - Luis asks if she is okay, but Bulgarin quickly drops the subject. Whether the bullets killed, injured or just intimidated her is unknown.
