MINUTES: The joint annual meeting of Parkhurst and Tudor Manor Civics was held at the Elmont Public Library on February 22. Our guests for the evening were Town of Hempstead Code Enforcement Department. One of the services in Elmont that is sorely lacking is code enforcement. So having officers from the Department of Sanitation was of vitally important.
The other invited guest, the Fifth Precinct, did not show. Apologies accepted, of course. A number of issues and questions from meeting attendees were raised regarding cleaning of the streets, residents repairing cars in the streets, garbage removal, storefront cleanup, etc. Some of the areas that were brought to the officers attention were Greenway Boulevard starting at Cromer Road to Niagara Street; Landau Street to Westgate alongside Hempstead Turnpike; corner of Elmont Road and Hempstead Turnpike covering all adjacent streets off Hempstead Turnpike—north and South/east /west up to and including School Road and going West to Biltmore; Corner of Tuxedo Drive and Virginia Avenue going back to the Alley at Albany Street; sidewalks facing CVS and stores up to and including the Dollar Store on Dutch Broadway; Belmont Avenue/ Ludlum; Belmont and First Street.
From the above were complaints of residents walking their dogs along Greenway and not picking up after their dogs, which leave a stench. Many homeowners along Greenway Boulevard cannot sit on their front porch as a result. Greenway residents also complained about trash alongside the Southern State Parkway. Since the meeting on the February 22, officers from the Code Enforcement Department have investigated and the State has started to cleanup areas alongside the Southern State Parkway bordering Greenway Boulevard. The Nassau County Animal Center has been notified of residents walking their dogs and not picking up after them.
At the Corner of Elmont Road and Hempstead Turnpike –going east from the County Line and north/south. That area is a transportation hub that has a long history of debris. Officers at the meeting were as frustrated as we were, and a question was posed as to whether pickup/sweeping along that corridor could be done twice weekly instead of once per week. They promised to bring this matter to the attention of the Town of Hempstead authorities.
Sidewalk areas alongside businesses on Dutch Broadway, we were told, are the responsibility of the businesses. Nassau County was notified to intervene with the businesses along that strip to clean their sidewalks.
Officers have acknowledged the bus stop and areas alongside Hempstead Turnpike between Landau and Westgate is strewn with debris, and they promised to step up their clean-up efforts as well as store front facing that area.
There are a great number of complaints from residents that many of the streets in Elmont are left undone during the Town of Hempstead spring/summer sweeping schedule due to cars parked on the streets. That is not the fault of the Town of Hempstead but, the question was raised as to how this problem can be rectified. In the City of New York there's alternate side parking on days that the sweeper comes. Not all streets are affected here in Elmont, but there are certain ones in different areas in the Elmont Community that definitely needs "No Parking" signs. Officers recommended speaking with the Town's Traffic and Highway Department on that matter.
Car repairs on certain streets whether on Belmont Avenue or other streets should be reported to the Building Department at 489-5000.
The code enforcement officers at the meeting have intervened with the State, County and the Town to help rectify some of the complaints but, it is incumbent on Elmont's community residents to call in whatever complaints they have to either the Building Department at 489-5000; Traffic and Highway Department at 378-2260; or the Sanitation Code Enforcement Department at 378-2200. Mr. Pepe or Mr. Sepchek are the two officers in the Sanitation Department that should be contacted.
Speaking of economic development, no investor will consider Elmont a good site for development if garbage is strewn all over the area i.e. alongside Hempstead Turnpike.
Another subject that was brought up at the meeting was water treatment in Elmont. That is a subject of grave concern to residents. At a hearing last year many of our residents gave testimony on the poor water quality that we are experiencing. We heard from Ms. Sandra Smith that the Water Authority had issued a bond for $35 million that was passed in June 2010 for 2 treatment plants—one to be situated in Elmont and the other in Franklin Square to tackle the excessive iron content of the water. One well alongside Elmont Road is to be opened. No one in the meeting had heard of this bond, but it appears that we should see improvement soon. Ms Smith also told us that the high water table problem is in part the result of the closing of water pumping stations in Jamaica Bay. Additionally, it is unlikely that the pumps will be made operational again as the water is can no longer be pumped into pay because it is considered an environmental hazard. Parkhurst resident, Percy Samuels questioned the accuracy of some of the information and that has stirred our interest. We are now trying to get someone from the Water Authority who will be able to recite the facts and supply us with the necessary documentation for review.

The heated dispute between the state and its largest online charter school reached a boiling point this week with a judge's order for ECOT to turn over its student log-in data. But the e-school is refusing to back down.
More than two dozen staffers are working to gather the log-in information of ECOT's students to hand over to the Ohio Department of Education.
The department says it needs that data in order to fill in the gaps of its attendance audit, determining how much instruction a student received each day.
But ECOT consultant and longtime lobbyist Neil Clark says the online charter school's lawsuit against ODE will go forward because Ohio law doesn't require ECOT to hand over the information.
"The difference here between wanting because of legislation that's out there and current revised code are entirely different. You can't want something into law it has to be in the law," said Clark.
Part of Clark's argument is that the log-in information does not tell the whole story since students don't have to be on their computers in order to be learning or completing work. Democratic Senate Minority Leader Joe Schiavoni of Boardman, a critic of charter schools, agrees but says the log-in data is supplemental.
"It's reasonable stuff. How long is that kid engaged in learning -- if they're offline then document, get it to a certified teacher and have that teacher send it to ODE," said Schiavoni.
That phrase doesn't sit well with Schiavoni.
"Providing an opportunity means any public school brick and mortar could just open the door and say 'hey look we've got books on the shelves, we've got some teachers around if you need them all you gotta do is raise your hand and say I'm here and you're free to do whatever you want all day.' Providing opportunity? We've got to talk about educating kids and teaching them while they're in school whether it's on the computer or in a brick and mortar classroom," Schiavoni said.
Clark doesn't dispute the fact that the phrase "educational opportunities" is open ended because, again as he argues, that's all that the law calls for.
"It's not that we're trying to avoid anything, give us the same audit that you did for the last years and we'll come in and you want to talk about a new methodology the next calendar year of school we're more than happy to do that. We're not going to participate in a retroactive claim," Clark said.
At stake here is $108 million which is what the state allotted for ECOT's funding in the last year. But to get that money this attendance audit needs to confirm that each of the e-school's 15,000 students actually received an education. And ECOT officials have said, if the state continues their audit at what they believe to be higher standards, the school could shut down.
That's a TV ad that started playing around Ohio in primetime to gather support for the school. ECOT also distributed a memo with a similar message to Ohio's delegation during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
Schiavoni says ECOT is exhausting its legal remedies rather than addressing the real issues.
Schiavoni adds that turning over the log-in information should not be damaging enough to close the school down. In response Clark insists that ECOT will stand its ground.
The lawsuit ECOT filed against the ODE is scheduled for trial next year.

MORE than 100 professionals from across the East Midlands gathered at Derby's QUAD centre last week (4 November) for a special showing of Spectre hosted by Innes England to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
The company has been supporting the charity throughout the year and has already exceeded its £10,000 fundraising target having raised more than £12,000 and counting.
Guests from Derby, Leicester and Nottingham dug deep at the charity event, raising a further £560.70 – something that managing director Tim Garratt is delighted about.
He said: "We have been overwhelmed by the level of support we have received this year, people have been fully behind our fundraising activities and we are delighted to have raised nearly £13,000 for Cancer Research UK.
The Innes England team has taken part in a number of fundraising activities during the year, taking on a 75 mile bike ride and a squash tournament as well as a number of Race for Life events and the Pretty Muddy 5km event. Staff have also enjoyed a series of themed dress up and dress-down days.
Paula Scaife, senior fundraising manager at Cancer Research UK, said: "I'd like to thank Innes England for their support this year. Every step we make towards beating cancer relies on every pound, every hour, every person.
"Cancer Research UK's vision is to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured. In the 1970s, less than a quarter of people with cancer survived.
The Spectre showing marked the final fundraising event to be hosted by Innes England in 2015.

You're trapped in a serial killer's basement.
He's holding you hostage, you're tied to a chair, and the serial killer is sitting across from you, sharpening his knife. He's got that crazy-eyed look, particularly if you've escaped from him once before: Now, he's pissed. And he's smarter.
Meanwhile the SWAT team suspects the serial killer's got you. But they don't know which house you're in. You can hear them outside conferring about it. One of them says he thinks the serial killer lives down the block somewhere and another one says he lives next door and still another one says no, I think he's in another state entirely.
Plus, the leader of the SWAT team is also busy hunting for other serial killers who are keeping other people locked in their basements, and he's kind of distracted.
You begin to wonder if the SWAT team will ever figure out where the serial killer might be, or if they'll manage to shoot the killer in the head before he slashes your throat. Plus, there's always the danger that the SWAT team will accidentally shoot you in the head during the whole scuffle. You don't know.
So while you're trapped down there in the basement with the serial killer, waiting for something to happen, you still have to follow up on your work emails and carry on as if the killer isn't staring at you with his crazy I-wanna-kill-you eyes.
But he hands over your laptop and lets you check your email because there's really nobody who can help you except the SWAT team. In fact, he encourages you to Google "serial killers" and find out about how horrible they are and how many people have been slashed to death. You give that up after a while and go back to your emails.
You search through your messages, a few from friends who know you might have been kidnapped. One of them tells you her Aunt Rita was once held hostage by a serial killer and she's fine now, so you shouldn't worry. Then you see a message from the insurance company that says it isn't sure it's going to continue to fund the SWAT team, particularly since you didn't bother to get a referral. So you ask the serial killer if you can borrow his phone. He hands it to you, laughing maniacally, and says, "The insurance company is my twin brother!! Bwaahahahaha!!"
Now you get word that the SWAT team has figured out which house you're in, but they're still not sure where the serial killer is, so they're using their thermal imaging cameras to scan the house. They see somebody else in there with you. But now they're not sure yet if it's an actual serial killer or just some joker pretending to be one. And it would be bad to shoot a joker in the head, even if he's a total asshole for pretending to be a killer.
Then the SWAT team starts arguing. One says yes, that is a serial killer, and another says, well, I'm not sure – it looks like a serial killer but it is not behaving like other serial killers we've seen. Still another says, maybe we should just watch him and see if he does something serial-killery.
So you start to wonder if you need a SWAT team at all. You go back to the Internet and read about how SWAT teams are dangerous and some people have fought their serial killers by making peace with them and sharing glasses of wheatgrass. So you ask the serial killer if he would like some wheatgrass and he laughs and says, "Nice try, scream queen!" and starts shaving his head with his hunting knife.
You give up on the wheatgrass idea and the SWAT team calls you, finally, and you're so relieved that someone is finally going to help you. But then they say something like, "We'd like to find out if he really is a serial killer or just some joker. Can you ask him for a sample?"
If the serial killer turns out to be a joker, turn to p. 36 and decide whether to have a wheatgrass smoothie or collapse into a ball.
If the serial killer turns out to be a serial killer, turn to p. 85 and decide whether or not to burn the house down or flood it.

Passport stamps
October 21, 2015 Uncategorizedbeing mobile, BRCA-2, breast cancer, Chichen Itza, Mexico, Midwest, travel, working remotelyNikki Kallio
I invited my mother to Mexico and we went together. We breathed the salty air under navy blue clouds on a beautiful red-flagged beach, bracketed by hurricanes.
She had stayed with me in the hospital for two nights while I recovered from surgery. "The last time we stayed together in the hospital was when you were born," she said. Now we walked on the beach and waded into the ocean in between storms, and when we weren't on the beach we filled our plates with tasty food and listened to the waves.
We breathed some more.
We visited Chichen Itza on the day of the fall equinox — one of two days when the shadow of a snake appears on the side of the pyramid and connects with an ancient carved snake head at the base. We saw the shadow start before it clouded over and rained.
That was in 2013. The Mexico trip acted as a sort of springboard. My friend and I kept our plans and went to Key West in January 2014. Then some classmates of mine started a writing retreat in Italy and I went in September. By that time I was completely restless, wanting to move back to the west coast where winters wouldn't keep me shut inside — I wanted to be outside more, to get more exercise, to get more Vitamin D. But I also liked being near family in the Midwest. And I needed to keep working, and I wanted to keep traveling.
What to do.
Sometimes the Universe Throws a Bone
October 15, 2015 MexicoBRCA-2, breast cancer, Mexico, travelNikki Kallio
Maybe I was putting out some serious travel vibes to the universe. Maybe it was a some kind of karmic consolation prize. But just a couple of weeks after my second surgery in 2013, I won a trip to Mexico.
It was at one of those business expo things. The organizers had set up a fun little way to get people to talk to the exhibitors — a "passport" that you'd carry around and get stamped at each exhibit. Get twenty stamps and you could enter the passport into a drawing for a three-night trip for two to Mexico.
I was determined to win that trip. That was my trip.
Ha, ha, a coworker said. It's my trip.
He was wrong. I was right. And I didn't even have to be present to win. I left for a doctor's appointment and later that day noticed a bunch of voicemails and tweets.
Yay! How cool was that? My real passport was about to get stamped, for the first time in more than a decade.
And now, instead of questions like, "How long do I need to keep these drains in?" and "Why is my skin graft turning black?" the big question was "Who wants to come with me to the beach and sip umbrella drinks?"

I'm a lover of naval combat and most every game that has it in them. Sid Meier's Pirates, Black Flag, anything that but me at the helm of a rigged vessel with a crew singing shanties, and I was happy. So, when I saw the trailer for Windward leading up to PAX East 2015, I was of course intrigued and excited to see the game in action. What I found was a wonderfully constructed homage to Sid Meier's Pirates, taking much of what worked in that game, refining it, and creating one of the most relaxing games I've played in ages.
Designed from the start to be a fully procedural co-op game, Windward can be played both by yourself and with friends. Start by generating a procedural world that will be unique to you, then sail forward fighting pirates, trading with towns, doing quests or simply exploring — it's up to you how you want to play.
Windward plays incredibly well. Simple mechanics and interfaces make the game easy to understand and quick to learn, but there is a lot of complexity hidden in the quests, combat mechanics and procedural generated world.
The thing I've enjoyed most playing Windward, both at PAX East and on my own time, is simply exploring. There are things that need improvement in the game before full launch (mainly the Main Menu UI and save system), but the core aspect of launching your ship into the unknown, not sure if you'll find a pirate den or a friendly merchant ship around the next cape makes Windward a joy to play.
Windward is currently on Early Access on Steam.

My music runs the gamut from the very simple and lyrical to the highly experimental. My influences range from Gregorian chant and medieval troubadors to the post-Webern serialists and minimalists of the late 20th century, with everything in between.
I am as comfortable with jazz, rock, folk, blues, new age, ambient, and electronica as I am with classical forms, and the scores I've written for television and multimedia reflect that range.
My specialty is creating authentic-sounding instrumental music with electronic instruments: "orchestral sound on a MIDI budget".

The High Court occupies the top position in the judicial administration of a state.
At present, there are 25 High Courts in the country.
Appointment of Judges of High Court:
The judges of a High Court are appointed by the President.

About two years ago, we bought a Weber Genesis gas grill. At the same time, we bought a Weber grill cover, but when I got home, I saw that the reviews for the Weber cover weren't great. I returned the Weber cover and bought a Classic Accessories medium BBQ cover, which was less expensive and had better reviews.
It was a perfect fit and looked good on our deck. For two years, we were completely happy with it. But this spring, when we moved the grill outside, we noticed that the fabric had become brittle, and it started tearing from normal handling.
I looked up the warranty information, expecting it to be a one-year warranty. To my pleasant surprise, it was a three-year warranty, so my cover was still eligible for replacement. But here's the best part: Instead of having to pack up and return the damaged cover, costing me time and money, I could submit a claim simply by emailing the warranty form and a digital photograph of the damage. Outstanding!
That's what I did, and two weeks later, I received a new grill cover. No hassle. I wish everyone would handle warranty claims this way.

HERE WE GO . . . 2016 – Year of the Yellow . . .
After the applications, freshers' fayres, trials, fitness tests, weights, cardio sessions, indoor nets, one to ones, spin classes, 6 am swims, outdoor fielding sessions and pre-season tours, the real work starts today.
Four years to the day since we made out first class debut at the Kia Oval against Surrey, the Yellows will today be treading the turf at another famous Test venue – Edgbaston – as they begin a 3 day fixture against Warwickshire CCC.
The Bears, led by former England star Ian Bell, will be putting out a strong team in advance of their first 2016 County Championship game at Hampshire in 10 days time.
Andrew Lawson's team will feature two players who are new to the squad. Right-arm paceman Moin Ashraf made his first class debut for Yorkshire back in 2010. Now at Leeds Beckett University he is a welcome addition to the squad where his experience will be invaluable. Meanwhile Ashley Gowers will be making his first class debut for us. The 21 year old wicket keeper from Bury has played many County 2nd XI games for Lancashire CCC as well as representing the Red Rose at all age group levels.
The full squad is: Christian Davis (capt), Moin Ashraf, Steve Bullen, Ash Gowers (wk), Chris Harwood, Alex Lilley, Archie Ogden, Billy Root, George Scott, Henry Thompson, Liam Watkinson, Logan Weston.
It will be a busy start to the season for the Yellows. Folloing the Edgbaston clash the boys will take on Sussex CCC at Hove (5-7 April) before heading back North to face county champions Yorkshire CCC at Headingley.


The UK Government's Brexit white paper "falls short" and offers "little reassurance" for those worried about the effect of leaving the EU on the economy, Scottish Government external affairs secretary Fiona Hyslop has said.
The white paper sets out the UK Government's blueprint for Britain's post-Brexit relationship with the EU, outlining in more detail the plans that were shared with the UK Cabinet at Chequers last week.
In her introduction to the white paper, Theresa May suggested the proposals were an evolution of plans based on discussions with the EU.
She said: "Some of the first proposals each side advanced were not acceptable to the other. That is inevitable in a negotiation.
"So we have evolved our proposals, while sticking to our principles.
Presenting the white paper in the House of Commons, UK Brexit secretary Dominic Raab said the paper was a "new and detailed proposal" for a "principled, pragmatic and ambitious future partnership between the UK and the EU".
There was some disruption as MPs objected to the fact that they had not seen the white paper that they were supposed to be debating and proceedings had to be halted by the speaker as copies were handed out.
The plan includes a "facilitated customs arrangement", which Raab said would remove the need for routine customs checks between the UK and the EU.
The paper confirms that the UK will leave the single market and the customs union, but proposes a free trade agreement on goods, leading to "frictionless trade".
While free movement of people will end, the paper suggests that no visas will be needed for people to come from the EU for visits or short-term business trips.
It also proposes continued close working with the EU in what it calls an "association agreement", with continued collaboration on areas such as security and crime.
Hyslop suggested that while the white paper provides some evidence that the UK government had realised "the damage of leaving the EU", there was "a long way to go" before the risks were mitigated.
She added: "While the paper provides an indication that the UK wants to participate in pan-EU programmes in areas such as science and research, there continue to be too many unknowns on issues such as whether the UK's proposals can deliver continued use of the European Arrest Warrant and what they mean for the future migration of people.
The Scottish Greens' Europe spokesperson, Ross Greer, said the white paper showed a "blatant disregard" for Scotland.
Meanwhile, The UK in a Changing Europe director Professor Anand Menon suggested the white paper represented "a slight pinking of the UK's red lines" to ensure the absence of a border on the island of Ireland, which was "a welcome recognition of the urgency of that particular problem".
But he added that it was "far from being a solution to the Irish question or the issue of the broader trading relationship".
Liz Cameron of Scottish Chambers of Commerce welcomed the detail on the UK Government's approach to mobility, but added that "urgent clarity" was needed on the longer-term arrangements for the recruitment of workers from EU and non-EU countries.
The GMB union criticised the "shambolic scenes" in the Commons as the white paper was handed round and suggested these reflected the UK Government's "general shambles" on Brexit.
It called the Brexit white paper "woolly words", complaining about a lack of detail and suggesting the proposed customs arrangements rely on technology "that doesn't exist".
The proposals have yet to be considered by the EU and the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, tweeted that they bloc would "analyse" the document with the European Parliament and member states in light of European Commission guidelines.
He added that he was "looking forward to negotiations" with the UK beginning next week.


Buy theme for your Help Center!
This article will indulge in the interesting topic of human touch, regular customer service support via agents in the form of live chats, help desk applications, phone calls and more VERSUS web customer self-service. The main advantage of the latter is that, once it has been created, it can replace a number of people and improve overall service.
On the other hand, not all questions and issues can be forecasted in advance, therefore human resources should not be completely dropped off the radar.
In order to evaluate the question from both sides, it's worth looking at studies and research that can demonstrate the actual needs of people.
An article from the Harvard Business Review says that, in 81% of cases, customers try to solve their issues or find answers to their questions on their own before "reaching out to a live representative." The same trend was found in the Microsoft's Global State of Multichannel Customer Service Report, according to which the figure is even greater - more than 90%.
The same customer behavior trend has been noticed by other studies as well.
According to Forrester Data Consumer Technographics® North American Retail and Travel Customer Life Cycle Survey, over the half of internet users in the US (52% to be exact) abandon their cart if they cannot find the additional information they need. Given such a great variety of online stores nowadays, it's easier to find a different one instead of contacting the help center's staff. In this case, the business owner can only sigh OR install a web self-service center.
What's even more surprising is the number of US adults – 72%, that are leaving websites wanting more and unable to find it themselves in a short period of time.
Cost effectiveness – self-service portals usually cost less than people.
These are pretty good arguments for adding web self-service portals to any quality service-oriented business web-site.
Intuitive designs and user-friendly navigation systems can save considerable time and thereby WIN the customers by addressing their doubts quickly. Branding is another crucial element of a good marketing strategy, and having a fully customized web self-service help center is a great plus.
Apart from branding, it is important to analyze the FAQ page and develop self-service portals with that in mind. One good example of customizing possibilities is offered by an authorized Zendesk solution provider - Lotus Themes, owing to which it is possible to customize any Zendesk theme according to the individual preferences.
It's important to note that the FAQ section, along with the content of the self-help portal should be updated on a regular basis. As a recent Software Advice survey shows, over 31% of people are getting easily frustrated if they cannot find what they need with keywords, actual links and requests. As a result those people see just one solution – to exit the website.
Once a new feature, especially such a big feature, like a self-service portal is added, the objective of the marketing is to present it to the customers in all possible ways. It could be as easy as widgets, pop-up notifications, email newsletters, press releases and so on.
The demand for self-service help desks can be explained by the main priorities in this fast-paced world – to save time and money. Another reason is that this offers choices to customers in regards to communication methods.
Although self-service portals can be considered a one-time investment, the importance of keeping it live, fresh and customized should not be underestimated.

Tonight I was told by Mom that Hoke was mad at me. Mrs. Simmonds had told her. While I wasn't was completely shocked, I was taken aback by the hard reality. Hoke, I now know, had the intention of asking Sidney last Monday morning. In fact, he was waiting in English class before first hour to do it–as I was unknowingly asking her in the hallway. He believes (and this is all secondhand knowledge) that the reason we both went together to school early last Monday, wasn't to check off old Accounting papers, as I told him at the time. He thought (thinks) it was solely to get the drop on him and ask her first.
If you think about it, that doesn't make a lot of sense. We went to school together, he and I. Hoke also believes I knew he wanted to take Sidney, and so wanted to beat him to it (or something like that). But as I said a few days ago in an entry he didn't bring it up over the weekend.
I can't put into words how I felt when I heard all of this. But I must try, or what's the point here of this. I was confused, and wondered how much he was right, and I was right. And very sorry to see such a tangle occur. I realized suddenly this was going to be an uphill climb to prove anything to Hoke. There's no evidence for these kinds of things. All during baseball practice over in Brimfield I could only think of one thing–what I could do to straighten everything out. There has to be a way … right? I have now been preoccupied by this for a long time (if you go back to Sidney's letter).
When I got home I tried to call Hoke a few times. He was at work, so I asked for him to call me when he got home.
Hopefully this will all be cleared up and seen for the muddled, miscommunicated mess it really is. I feel very bad about all of this, and can see that however innocent, I am the catalyst. And I'm very sorry for it.


This is something I've done 3 out of the 4 springs I've lived here, and twice with Penny. One home in particular struck my fancy. Most of the homes were decorated in a traditional way, one was done with lots of primitives, I liked that, and one in particular was done in shabby chic. This lady and I would get along real well, I could tell. One of the first projects I noticed in her house was a shelf. This shelf was made from an old coffee table. The table had been cut, length wise, and hung on the wall as a shelf, It had one set of legs, hanging below as if they were still attached, and they were curved and carved. It was all painted out and distressed in green I think. I could tell it was a very interesting table, but it made a wonderful shelf. She also had some nice picture displays that were made T2T. One was a metal piece, and she used old clip earrings to Clip the pictures to it. In another room, she had a collection of old hand mirrors (like me) and she had them arranged inside an old frame. So guess what I did. I came home and my friend and I re-arranged my collection of hand mirrors inside a frame that I had.
I like this arrangement a lot. I have always felt that the mirrors were lost in the wallpaper (which was here when I bought the home), but I think the frame helps them to stand out. I could also paint a backer board and mount the mirrors on it, to separate them out a bit if I want to later. All of this without having to change the wallpaper, which I'm not looking forward to doing.
Here's a pic I took of some wisteria that was growing across from one of the homes we toured.
I just love East Texas in the Spring.
well This week I'll be busy moving my booth and then First Monday Flea Market on Friday or Saturday. I've got lots of supplies to get so It will be fun to see what else I find.
Hope you all have a good week. Be sure to check back for pics of my new booth progress throughout the week.
and there is even a special message from Ki to my readers on there. Both Projects this week are from them as well as information on upcoming events they are having. So check it out.
click the link on the top right of the page to view the clip. It may move tomorrow, but that is where it is right now.
Well I'm moving my booth space to a larger booth. One came available and I decided to take the plunge. I've got a barn full of stuff and no where to display it so there is no way to sell it. So I'm hoping this will be a good move for me. If you don't hear from me for a few days, that is what I'm doing.
I'm also going to be having my BFF visit this weekend and we are going to go on the town's Spring historic home tour on Saturday. Tyler is known for Azaleas in the Spring, and they are starting to pop out all over town. For one month every year, this place is abuzz with tourism and people viewing the beautiful flowers. We even have a section of town know as the Azalea District, with old homes, and beautiful yards, many full of Azaleas. March/April is a beautiful month here in Tyler. The Historical society opens about 7 historic homes for a tour every year, and it's different homes each year, so I am looking forward to seeing the insides of some of our beautiful homes and spending time with my friend.
here are a few items I've picked up over the past few months and ... what I've done with them.
Remember this Window I picked up last weekend and those legs I found in the trash?
I plan to hang prisms from the metal corner pieces when I get my order in..
Now remember this table bottom? And the Blue shelf there too.
I've added some scrap wood to the top and made it a ligitimate table again.
I will be sealing the top (due to lead paint) and possibly dry brushing a few areas white. This will be a piece for my booth. Oh did I mention that I'm moving into a larger booth space in April?
Now for that blue bookshelf. When in doubt paint it white.
And I've added a little margo touch (embellishments) to it and added a back.
I went into Hobby Lobby today for just one little thing, right. Well I wondered down too many other isles and came home with this gem.
I think I'll use her in my bathroom to hang necklaces from. She was also half price.
But I do love what I brought home.
Ta Ta, I've got to go hang my star.
Well the new, long awaited, book by Sue Whitney and Ki Nassauer is finally, almost ready to be released. I was able to get my hands on an advanced copy of "Junk Beautiful" and I just couldn't wait for it to arrive in the mail. I was checking my mailbox, everyday, like a kid waiting for Christmas. It finally arrived on Thursday, and it does not disappoint. I'm a visual person and so the first thing I did was to thumb through it and look at all the pictures. There was eye candy on every page, new ideas I'd never seen before, beautiful rooms that show off these ladies talents, not just as junkers, but as designers as well. I had to slow down just to take it all in.
Here's a peak at the inside of the book, I covered portions to protect the copyright.
Then after I'd looked at every room I decide to read the text. The goal of this book is to decorate every room of your home. So they've gone to several homes and "junk designed" different rooms in that home. You get to meet the owners of each house, you find out what their needs are for their space, and then the girls take you step by step through the projects. The photography is beautiful the text is easy to understand and the project directions are easy to follow. They've outdone themselves with this book, and it makes me realize they are in a league of their own when it comes to creativity and the re-use of junk.
Here's peak at some of the instructions pages, I covered portions to protect the copyright.
And don't miss the Girls on Thursday on the Today Show March 27th.
having today off of work DH and I decided to hit a few garage sales this morning. They were few and far between and nothing of real interest was found. The first sale we went to was a real dud, as we were leaving, I drove up a bit where there was a clear place to turn around. I did a 3 point turn, "turn, back up, and pull out strait", as I was pulling away, a man came out of a house, waving us down. We rolled down our window thinking he had an inquiry. He asked "what's going on here", I answered "there's a garage sale". At that point he replied very angerily that He was tired of people turning around in his driveway, and he had approached my car and was right up to us. His tone was very angry, and I thought it best to leave and avoid an escalation of the situation. As I drove forward DH and I heard a thud on my car and I assumed that he had hit it open handed as we drove off. Now let me say here, that I did not pull full into his driveway and am not sure I pulled into it at all. I may have 1-3 feet but that is all. I'm very conscientious of other peoples property and do not like to use driveways for that purpose. We drove on, tried to hit a few more sales and then headed home. I decided to look at my car to see if there was any damage and was surprised to find this.
A nice fist sized impression in my Junk Mobile. Well then we decide to go file a complaint with the police. First we had to drive by his house and get his address, then we drove to the police station and it was Closed. So we called and waited for a policeman to come and take our statement. That's all done, and so went our day, by this time it's noon.
Well that's my adventure for today. For some great junk finds read the post below.
See ya on the junk pile.
The Estate Sales that I went to were not very good, but I did pick up some books and a few other trinkets. Then on my way from work I saw a bunch of old trophies in someones trash. I don't have any specific project in mind, but I've seen a few, so I got about 10 of them, brought them home, took them apart and ended up with a whole stash of shiney plastic trophy parts.
Well my need for junk was not fulfilled, so I headed to a couple of my favorite places. At one I found this great item in the back room.
I've already got a project planned out for it. It's missing it's top glass and one of the arched pieces, but I think I can work around that.
All in all it turned out to be a great junking day.
I love these flowers and I've sold many of them. If you are interested they are 2.50ea in quantities more than 3.
I love the different shapes that these handles come in.
This is an outdoor faucet chandie I make, I also sell these for $15.00 ea.
I'm sure there are many other things you can do with old faucet handles, Keep your eye out when you are out junking, and don't pass these up.
2 estate sales tomorrow, can't wait to see what I might find.
Aren't these ceramic eggs just wonderful.
these 2 in deeper tones. I just love em.
What a great item for Easter.
Well when I started this blog I said it would chronicle my adventures in T2T. Well at Friday's Garage sales, my car actually got hit. A man was backing up, and he never saw me, even though I laid on my horn he never stopped. I was stuck and with all the pedestrian traffic and other cars, I couldn't move out of his way. So bump went our bumpers. Fortunately there was minimal damage, Just a scuff that I can buff out, so we both went on our way. And I'm glad because this was a great garage sale. I picked up most of this stuff there.
See anything you like, just drop me a note. Flower frogs and black chalkware couple are sold.
More china for more swags.
What a great table, destined to be white, picked up at another sale.
It was a great Garage sale day and came with a story. Can't beat that.
boy did I ever score today.
And those 2 cute little dishes and some costume jewelry too.
all I spent today was $6.50 and I got all these treasures, Woo Hoo!!! And there are more sales tomorrow.
Here's my almost finished display cabinet. I still need some glass and lights.
First I want to thank you all for your nice comments in regards to April's Country Home. You are all so sweet and encouraging.
I did pick up some really neat stuff this past weekend. I really only hit 1 good sale, but it was good enough for me to feel that I was done for the weekend.
These are for sale, if interested just drop me a note.
And being the "former" fiesta collector that I am. I spotted these beauties. None of them are perfect but I got all of these for $17.00 and can easily make that plus some back by selling a couple of them. I may keep the yellow and large green bowl for awhile though.
I also picked up a pair of old roller skates and a few other things at this same sale. Had to get out of there before I spent all my money.
Look at this cute snail that I picked up for my Garden. they are at Hobby Lobby, and they have a cute turtle too. I know it's not T2T but I couldn't resist. It looks like it could be T2T though. I'm thinking about clock springs, I think I have one of those out in my stash. Hummmm, brain gears are turning.
And this is my current project. It's an old radio cabinet, and I'm turning it into a display case. I'll be painting it of course, and I need to get glass for the front, then light it up etc. I was going to paint today, but just ran out of steam. I'm ready for warm weather, and longer days.
I've signed up to do a junk swap on one of the groups I belong to. The "theme" for the first swap was fill a Basket-o-junk. My partner and I decided to mail ours on the same day, and they arrived the same day (yeah). I just loved opening my box and discovering all of this great junk.
What a great pile of Junk.
Also I found this great pot (for plants) today.
I just love punctuation symbols. This will be great for my office for pens etc.
My awful day, did turn around, but partly because I decided I would not let a bad morning rule my day.
Hope you all have a great tomorrow.
Well today is primary day for many of us and this is just a reminder (as if you need one) to go vote.
That said, I'm having a really bad day, but I'm bound and determined to turn it around.
Here's a funny that my DH sent me.
This is bulk trash week in my town, or should I say, Curb shopping week. Today DH and I found this lot just with a tiny bit of driving.
There are 4 table legs, and 2 drawer fronts. Just imagine those fronts painted white, and then sanded to reveal the dimension and then, perhaps a luggage pocket, or hooks for coats etc on them.
Who knows what I'll use the table legs for.
See the shirt, it says "JUNK gotta have it". I got it last month in Canton.
Then we stopped by another mall in town where I picked up this great hotel luggage tag.
which I promptly added to my "travelers" room, and then of course a picture needed to be taken.
I'm still in the Lazy mood, so that was my Saturday, very unproductive. I did go out into the barn and straighten up a bit.

It was just after World War II that Ken Leister started a modest business repairing and refinishing antique furniture in a two-story garage. He was soon joined by his brother, Roger, and in 1953 they turned their woodworking skills to creating beautiful antique reproductions.
During the next three decades, the Leister brothers built a national reputation for their traditionally styled pine collections for every room in the home. By the mid-Eighties, responding to changes in the marketplace and in consumer preferences, they created a new niche for Leisters Furniture, specializing in occasional tables crafted in solid hardwoods. The success of this new direction is reflected in the continued expansion of their manufacturing facilities, which today occupy over 100,000 square feet in Hanover, Pennsylvania.
Roger retired from the business in 1987 and turned the company over to Ken and Ken's son Tom. Since Ken's passing in 2008, Tom, now president of the company, proudly carries on the more than 60-year tradition of Leisters authentic styling and quality workmanship.

The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II and the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV are two digital cameras that were revealed to the public, respectively, in February 2015 and August 2016. The E-M5 II is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera, while the 5D Mark IV is a DSLR. The cameras are based on a Four Thirds (E-M5 II) and a full frame (5D Mark IV) sensor. The Olympus has a resolution of 15.9 megapixels, whereas the Canon provides 30.1 MP. Read on to find out how these two cameras compare with respect to their body size, their sensors, their features, their input-output connections, and their reception by expert reviewers.
The physical size and weight of the Olympus E-M5 II and the Canon 5D Mark IV are illustrated in the side-by-side display below. The two cameras are presented according to their relative size. Three successive views from the front, the top, and the rear are shown. All size dimensions are rounded to the nearest millimeter.
The E-M5 II can be obtained in two different colors (black, silver), while the 5D Mark IV is only available in black.
If the front view area (width x height) of the cameras is taken as an aggregate measure of their size, the Canon 5D Mark IV is considerably larger (66 percent) than the Olympus E-M5 II. Moreover, the 5D Mark IV is substantially heavier (90 percent) than the E-M5 II. In this context, it is worth noting that both cameras are splash and dust-proof and can, hence, be used in inclement weather conditions or harsh environments.
The above size and weight comparisons are to some extent incomplete since they do not consider the interchangeable lenses that both of these cameras require. A larger imaging sensor will tend to go along with bigger and heavier lenses, although exceptions exist. You can compare the optics available for the two cameras in the Micro Four Thirds Lens Catalog (E-M5 II) and the Canon EF Lens Catalog (5D Mark IV). Mirrorless cameras, such as the Olympus E-M5 II, have moreover the advantage that they have a relatively short flange to focal plane distance and can thus use many lenses from other systems via adapters.
Concerning battery life, the E-M5 II gets 310 shots out of its BLN-1 battery, while the 5D Mark IV can take 900 images on a single charge of its LP-E6N power pack.
Any camera decision will naturally be influenced heavily by the price. The listed launch prices provide an indication of the market segment that the manufacturer of the cameras have been targeting. The E-M5 II was launched at a markedly lower price (by 69 percent) than the 5D Mark IV, which puts it into a different market segment. Usually, retail prices stay at first close to the launch price, but after several months, discounts become available. Later in the product cycle and, in particular, when the replacement model is about to appear, further discounting and stock clearance sales often push the camera price considerably down.
Of the two cameras under consideration, the Olympus E-M5 II features a Four Thirds sensor and the Canon 5D Mark IV a full frame sensor. The sensor area in the 5D Mark IV is 284 percent bigger. As a result of these sensor size differences, the cameras have a format factor of, respectively, 2.0 and 1.0. The sensor in the E-M5 II has a native 4:3 aspect ratio, while the one in the 5D Mark IV offers a 3:2 aspect.
With 30.1MP, the 5D Mark IV offers a higher resolution than the E-M5 II (15.9MP), but the 5D Mark IV nevertheless has larger individual pixels (pixel pitch of 5.36μm versus 3.76μm for the E-M5 II) due to its larger sensor. Moreover, the 5D Mark IV is a somewhat more recent model (by 1 year and 6 months) than the E-M5 II, and its sensor might have benefitted from technological advances during this time that further enhance the light gathering capacity of its pixel-units.
Unlike the 5D Mark IV, the E-M5 II has the capacity to capture high quality composite images (40MP) by combining multiple shots after shifting its sensor by miniscule distances. This multi-shot, pixel-shift mode is most suitable for photography of stationary objects (landscapes, studio scenes).
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II has a native sensitivity range from ISO 200 to ISO 25600, which can be extended to ISO 100-25600. The corresponding ISO settings for the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV are ISO 100 to ISO 32000, with the possibility to increase the ISO range to 50-102400..
For many cameras, data on sensor performance has been reported by DXO Mark. This service determines an overall sensor rating, as well as sub-scores for low-light sensitivity ("DXO Sports"), dynamic range ("DXO Landscape"), and color depth ("DXO Portrait"). Of the two cameras under consideration, the 5D Mark IV offers substantially better image quality than the E-M5 II (overall score 18 points higher). The advantage is based on 1.8 bits higher color depth, 1.1 EV in additional dynamic range, and 1.8 stops in additional low light sensitivity. The adjacent table reports on the physical sensor characteristics and the outcomes of the DXO sensor quality tests for a sample of comparator-cameras.
Many modern cameras are not only capable of taking still images, but can also record movies. Both cameras under consideration are equipped with sensors that have a sufficiently high read-out speed for moving images, but the 5D Mark IV provides a better video resolution than the E-M5 II. It can shoot movie footage at 4K/30p, while the Olympus is limited to 1080/60p.
Beyond body and sensor, cameras can and do differ across a range of features. For example, the E-M5 II has an electronic viewfinder (2360k dots), while the 5D Mark IV has an optical one. Both systems have their advantages, with the electronic viewfinder making it possible to project supplementary shooting information into the framing view, whereas the optical viewfinder offers lag-free viewing and a very clear framing image. The viewfinders of both cameras offer the same field of view (100%), but the viewfinder of the E-M5 II has a higher magnification than the one of the 5D Mark IV (0.74x vs 0.71x), so that the size of the image transmitted appears closer to the size seen with the naked human eye. The table below summarizes some of the other core capabilities of the Olympus E-M5 II and Canon 5D Mark IV in connection with corresponding information for a sample of similar cameras.
One feature that differentiates the E-M5 II and the 5D Mark IV is in-body image stabilization (IBIS). The E-M5 II reduces the risk of handshake-induced blur with all attached lenses, while the 5D Mark IV has to rely on optical image stabilization in OIS-equipped lenses to achieve the same effect.
The E-M5 II has an articulated LCD that can be turned to be front-facing. This characteristic will be appreciated by vloggers and photographers who are interested in snapping selfies. In contrast, the 5D Mark IV does not have a selfie-screen.
The Olympus E-M5 II and the Canon 5D Mark IV both have an intervalometer built-in. This enables the photographer to capture time lapse sequences, such as flower blooming, a sunset or moon rise, without purchasing an external camera trigger and related software.
The E-M5 II writes its imaging data to SDXC cards, while the 5D Mark IV uses Compact Flash or SDXC cards. The 5D Mark IV features dual card slots, which can be very useful in case a memory card fails. In contrast, the E-M5 II only has one slot. The E-M5 II supports UHS-II cards (Ultra High Speed data transfer of up to 312 MB/s), while the 5D Mark IV can use UHS-I cards (up to 104 MB/s).
For some imaging applications, the extent to which a camera can communicate with its environment can be an important aspect in the camera decision process. The table below provides an overview of the connectivity of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II and Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and, in particular, the interfaces the cameras (and selected comparators) provide for accessory control and data transfer.
It is notable that the 5D Mark IV has a headphone jack, which makes it possible to attach external headphones and monitor the quality of sound during the recording process. The E-M5 II lacks such a headphone port.
Both the E-M5 II and the 5D Mark IV are recent models that are part of the current product line-up. The E-M5 II replaced the earlier Olympus E-M5, while the 5D Mark IV followed on from the Canon 5D Mark III. Further information on the two cameras, as well as related accessories, can be found on the official Olympus and Canon websites.
So what conclusions can be drawn? Which of the two cameras – the Olympus E-M5 II or the Canon 5D Mark IV – has the upper hand? A synthesis of the relative strong points of each of the models is listed below.
More compact: Is smaller (124x85mm vs 151x116mm) and thus needs less room in the bag.
Less heavy: Is lighter (by 421g or 47 percent) and hence easier to carry around.
More detail: Has more megapixels (30.1 vs 15.9MP), which boosts linear resolution by 40%.
Longer lasting: Gets more shots (900 versus 310) out of a single battery charge.
If the number of relative strengths (bullet points above) is taken as a guide, the 5D Mark IV emerges as the winner of the match-up (17 : 14 points). However, the pertinence of the various camera strengths will differ across photographers, so that you might want to weigh individual camera traits according to their importance for your own imaging needs before making a camera decision.
Do the specifications of the Olympus E-M5 II and the Canon 5D Mark IV place the cameras among the top in their class? Find out in the latest Best Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera and Best DSLR Camera listings.
In any case, while the comparison of the spec-sheets of cameras can offer a general idea of their imaging potential, it says little about, for example, the shooting experience and imaging performance of the E-M5 II and the 5D Mark IV in practical situations. User reviews that are available, for instance, at amazon can sometimes shed light on these issues, but such feedback is all too often partial, inconsistent, and inaccurate.
