101-year-old Detroit woman evicted in foreclosure DETROIT (AP) — A 101-year-old woman was evicted from the southwest Detroit home where she lived for nearly six decades after her 65-year-old son failed to pay the mortgage. Texana Hollis was evicted Monday and her belongings were placed outside the home. Her son, Warren Hollis, said he didn't pay the bill for several years and disregarded eviction notices. "I kept it from her because I didn't want to worry her," Warren Hollis told WXYZ-TV for a report that aired Monday night. Wayne County Chief Deputy Treasurer David Szymanski told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the Hollises took out an adjustable-rate mortgage in 2002. "They ended up owing $80,000 on the home," Szymanski said. County records show that property taxes were paid on the home through summer 2010. A neighbor was letting Texana and Warren Hollis live in a rental house across the street from the home they shared, and Texana Hollis' belongings were being moved there.

Nonverbal Learning Disorder Syndrome Spina Bifida Family Support "Families Helping Families" www.spinabifidasupport.com Nonverbal Learning Disorder Syndrome It is not uncommon for children with hydrocephalus to have learning disabilities. NVLD encompasses a combination of learning, academic, social and emotional issues. Children with NVLD have difficulty with mechanical arithmetic, particularly more complex math involving many columns (such as long division). Children with NVLD often do quite well with word recognition, oral reading and spelling. Language abilities are also unique in a child with NVLD. Children with NVLD may develop a great deal of skill in talking their way out of challenging tasks or facing novel situations that provide anxiety. Nonverbal tasks may be quite difficult for children with NVLD. Humor or sarcasm can be hard for children with NVLD to appreciate. Novel situations can be particularly troublesome as they require generating responses that cannot be anticipated or practiced beforehand. Assessment

My DIY Wine Bottle Centerpieces I originally posted this as a thread, but since then I found out about the DIY section, so I’m reposting them here for anyone who is interested in how to make these! I really loved the look of these wine bottle candleholders, and I wanted to do something similar for our centerpieces, but these are very expensive to buy: Source So, I decided to find out how to cut the bottles myself. My family, FI’s family, and our friends are all wine drinkers, so they’ve been very helpfully collecting the bottles for us. Once they are all clean, it’s time to cut. You definitely have to get a good score on the bottle – no breaks in the score line, and as straight around as you can get it, but it does not have to be deep at all. Then, over the sink, slowly pour a stream of boiling water over the cut line for about thirty seconds, slowly rotating the bottle while doing this part, to make sure the entire line gets hot. After cutting, we sand the bottom edge to make sure it’s not too rough or sharp.
Hey, Facebook: Are You Really Censoring Political Free Speech in America? Either Facebook’s spam filters are completely out of whack or political free speech is being actively censored on the social network. What’s happening: On Sun. Aug. 14, liberal page administrators and bloggers in my network started spreading the word that they had been blocked from posting ANY content on ANY other wall for 15 days. No prior warning was given. The offenders are charged with posting links to news/opinion articles – such as this liberal’s guide to Republican talking points – a small number of times to LIKE-MINDED pages with which they regularly interact. The slap: Facebook indicates these activists have been posting “spam and irrelevant” content. A check of Facebook’s community standards confirms that NONE of the blocked content or pages I’ve heard about have violated ANY of these rules (engaging in hate, violence, phishing, theft, spam for commercial purposes, etc.) Is it Facebook’s Fault? The explanation: The link had been reported as “abusive or spammy” content. Solutions
