Some good financial news for our area today as Dana announced their 3rd quarter results.  Dana Holding Corp. reported a year-to-date income of $148 million for 2011.  In 2010 that figure was only $24 million.  Sales were up almost 30 percent over the 3rd quarter of 2010 and up $1.1 billion year-to-date over last year.

Lancaster City Homeowners Going For Bright Colors

You can’t miss them.

North Mary Street is home to a tangerine-colored house, which happens to be next door to a purple house.

A house painted the same shade as the aquamarine hue of the Caribbean Sea sits along South Queen Street.

And have you seen the hot pink house on Beaver Street?

Yowza!

Bright-colored houses and businesses are popping up all over Lancaster city, which has traditionally been more of a colonial-hued town.

Just when you thought we had heard the last of Charlie Sheen for a while, he pops back up again.  Charlie just got signed to the FX Network for a new show called Anger Management (based on the Jack Nicholson movie).  Charlie will play the role of a therapist who has his own issues (who says art doesn’t imitate life?)

Sheen has the green light for 10 episodes.  The new show will most likely air in a block with reruns ofTwo And A Half Men.  (Talk about falling in a pile of @#*$ and coming out smelling like a rose!)

 Let Ritvalsky

“My art, regardless of the medium I’m using, is simply an end result of whatever happiness runs from my brain through my hands to my tools each day that I work. This talent brings great energy to my life and I am honored to have it. My art isn’t about making a statement, unless that statement is to bring a smile to someone when they see my work.”
