It's Northern Michigan's newest animal shelter, but chances are you've never heard of it.
A no-kill animal shelter on 220th Avenue near Big Rapids has been open since October and wants to help you pick out the newest member of your family.
The Animal Rescue Coalition will not euthanize any of the animals they receive.
They take in dogs and cats regardless of age or breed.
If any of the animals have behavioral issues coming in, a crew makes sure to train the animals before they can be adopted.
The shelter says they've been doing very well since opening.
For more information on how you can adopt from the Animal Rescue Coalition you can go to the link posted to the left of this story.

NEW YORK (AP) - Kraft Foods is suing Cracker Barrel Old Country Store over the restaurant chain's plans to use the "Cracker Barrel" name on packaged ham and bacon.
Kraft says it started using the "Cracker Barrel" name on cheese in 1954. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, which operates 620 restaurants around the country, was established in 1969 in Lebanon, Tenn.
Kraft said it never took any formal legal action until now because Cracker Barrel Old Country Store had been using the name only at its own locations and website. But Kraft says the chain's plans to sell hams and bacon using the "Cracker Barrel" name will cause "significant confusion" among consumers.
A representative for Cracker Barrel Old Country Store wasn't immediately available for comment.

Kimball's first win of the day, 7-4 over the Tigers from Los Banos High, moved the Jaguars into the top four teams in the double-elimination portion of the bracket.
But Kimball followed with a 7-5 loss to Sierra High of Manteca, meaning one more loss puts the Jaguars out of the running for the D-IV title.
The Jaguars face Ceres at 5 p.m. today, May 18, and the winner of that game will face either Oakdale or Sierra.
The top two teams from today's competition will play for the D-IV title at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 19.
Kimball 7, Los Banos 4
The Kimball softball team forged an early lead in its first-round playoff game Thursday, then fought to keep that lead from slipping away.
The Jaguars (24-4 overall, 12-2 Valley Oak League) found a few opportunities in the early inning.
Leadoff batter Kate Bomar reached on an error in the first and came home on Montanna Bradley's single up the middle. Taylor Honnoll and Gabbi Cox both singled in the second to make it a 2-0 game, and Llesenia Torres singled and Bradley reached on a fielder's choice on the way to a two-run third inning.
Los Banos threatened to break the game open in the fourth, though.
The Tigers (15-10-1, 10-3 Western Athletic Conference) collected four base hits, a walk and took advantage of an infield error to score four runs to tie it at 4-4.
Kimball took the lead back in the fifth.
Torres and Bradley singled and came in when Danielle Lallo laid down a bunt and the catcher's throw to first went into right field.
Bomar scored one more in the sixth when she reached on a fielder's choice, stole second and came home on an infield error.
Alexis Lopez gave up nine hits and four runs, three of them earned, over seven innings for the win.
Details of the Sierra game were not available.

Jewish Self-Government in Europe Was Not Just a Dream—It Was a Failure
The Council of Four Lands was the central body of Jewish autonomy in Poland for nearly two centuries. What went wrong?
In 1751 the Va'ad became involved in the famous Emden-Eybeschutz affair. A Polish student of Rabbi Jonathan Eybeschutz, Rabbi (Ya'akov) Haim the rabbi of Lublin, and his son Avraham Haims (a well-known "politician" in the Polish Jewish communities and a candidate for a position as parnas [elder] on the Va'ad) issued a ban against Rabbi Ya'akov Emden and his supporters. This elicited a storm of protest letters addressed to the Va'ad from many Ashkenazi rabbis opposed to Eybeschutz (including Emden himself). These clamored for nullification of the ban and punishment of Rabbi Haim of Lublin by the Va'ad. They also demanded that the Va'ad join the offensive against Eybeschutz, writer of the suspect amulet inscriptions. As Emden urged
Unite with us to protect the Torah! One will declare, 'I am for God'; one will be called by the name Jacob; one will dedicate his pen to the great and awesome God. Call to the lands both near and far: Lithuania and its region, Ruthenia, Prussia, Wallachia, and the lands of the East; to the place where your word, the word of the King, the Lord of Hosts, reaches; that they take up arms, hitch up the chariot and make war against the enemies of God."
Emden was asking the Va'ad to join the attack against Eybeschutz. He presumed that with the controversy having spread beyond the bounds of Ashkenaz proper, the Va'ad, who ruled in Poland and influenced certain communities outside of Poland, would be a valuable ally in the battle.
For his part, Eybeschutz thought that the Va'ad could help save him from his enemies. He informed the Danish king that he intended to make his case before the Va'ad. In the introduction to his book Luhot Edut (Altona 1755) he wrote:
And I said to my persecutors here: "Behold in a few days the sages of the generation, the scholars, will meet and gather at the time of the congregating of all at the Jaroslaw meeting [i.e., the semi-annual meeting of the Va'ad]. Let us bring our case before them because they are the most and the greatest in wisdom and numbers."
Eybeschutz fully expected the Va'ad to judge in his affair and vindicate him, hoping that their verdict would force his attackers to finally leave him alone.
It seems that the men of the Va'ad were not very eager to have to choose between the Emden and Eybeschutz camps. In their responses to the urgings of both sides they tried to refrain from insulting either party and apparently hoped that the matter would conclude without the Va'ad having to render an official and unequivocal determination. In its 1751 meeting in Konstantynow the Va'ad decided not to decide. As the treasurer of the Va'ad, Yissakhar Berish Segal, wrote to one of the prominent figures in the anti-Eybeschutz camp, Rabbi Aryeh Leib of Amsterdam,
It was agreed and the leader, the elder of the month of the Va'ad, was empowered to write with reason and good sense a reply to all of the missives. And we will see how things develop, if the Gaon, our teacher Yehonatan, will feel remorse and repair what he has ruined, so much the better. But if not, then there will certainly be a great convocation of the Va'ad this year and then we will see, God willing, about being in contact on a war footing.
In other words, the Va'ad decided only that the elder Avraham ben Yoska from Lissa would formulate diplomatic replies to the advocates of both camps. In the meantime it was waiting, in the hope that Eybeschutz would mollify his opponents. If the tensions were to persist, then the Va'ad would have to reconsider its policy.
Avraham from Lissa's letters were in fact intended to keep good relations with both sides. Already in June 1751 (4 Tammuz 5511) he wrote to Shmuel Hilman, one of those insisting on the nullification of the ban against Emden issued by Rabbi Haim of Lublin, that this ban was not declared by the Va'ad and thus "was not a ban, nor an excommunication, but only fantasy." However, he also expressed the Va'ad's hesitation at taking a clear-cut position:
For great turmoil is passing over all the inhabitants of the land, trampled by these rabbinic kings. Who will throw his garment between the lion and lioness when they are in heat?
In September 1751 (8 Tishrei 5512), Avraham wrote to Rabbi Emden himself (who was an in-law of one of his children). He expressed his dismay at Rabbi Haim's ban but politely explained that the members of the Va'ad had always hoped that the conflict would end before they would have to take sides:
And we being in consultations daily, expecting to hear the voice of good tidings proclaiming, "Peace, peace"; but instead bitterness. For many send letters to us asking for ploys and strategems. But we said let neither shield nor spear be seen in Israel; our silence is better than our speech.
The next day, Yom Kippur eve, Avraham wrote to Rabbi Eybeschutz. This letter is now lost, but Eybeschutz included a summary of it among the documents he submitted to the Danish authorities. Albeit written by a partisan, it clearly indicates that Avraham tried to placate Eybeschutz and promised to protect his honor.
The primary reason the Va'ad hesitated to stake a definite position in this controversy was, apparently, that the rabbis and lay leaders could not reach consensus. Both of the warring camps organized support in Poland, with each side attempting to gain leverage for its hero. Eybeschutz's faction won when Avraham from Lublin (Haim's son) was appointed elder of the Va'ad. At the end of the Va'ad meeting held in autumn 1753 he raised the issue and succeeded in forging a majority of 19 vs. 11 voting to proclaim Rabbi Eybeschutz "innocent" and condemning all pamphlets published against him to the fire.
While both camps coveted a ban from the Va'ad that favored their side, the practical value of such a ban was limited. Certainly, Eybeschutz's hope that the Va'ad's ban would muzzle Emden and his supporters was vain. The conflict was resolved only after the Danish king's intervention, which led to the renewed choice of Eybeschutz as rabbi of Altona and the effective end of the controversy.
These and related cases allow for a few generalizations concerning the authority of the Va'ad outside of Poland, and can be divided into two clear categories: disputes between two different communities or between two factions within the same community (Group A) or interpersonal theological-ideological-commercial conflicts, in which rabbis and leaders from a number of communities were involved (Group B).

MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) - An attorney for a conservative group said it was "enormously embarrassing" to prosecutors to have a judge halt their John Doe probe into recall campaign activities.
For the second time in three days, Milwaukee Federal Judge Rudolph Randa today ordered a halt to the nearly two-year-old John Doe investigation.
Randa said prosecutors filed a frivolous appeal to his previous ruling that the state was not immune from being sued -- and he struck down that appeal, so the John Doe was halted again.
The state Justice Department and prosecutors did not immediately comment on Thursday's development.
Randa initially halted the probe on Tuesday, saying one of the targets of the investigation -- the Wisconsin Club for Growth -- had its rights to free speech violated.
The Doe probe centers on alleged illegal coordination between outside groups and GOP candidates in the 2011 and '12 recall elections, including Governor Scott Walker.
Plaintiff's attorney David Rivkin said he would now seek sworn testimony from prosecutors, to be used in a full blown appeal which the state is expected to seek to keep the John Doe going.
Critics say the Doe is meant to embarrass Walker as he runs for re-election this fall, and perhaps for president in 2016.

36th Meeting of the Ramsar
Lamentablemente, no hay versión en español de este documento
|CONVENTION ON WETLANDS (Ramsar, Iran, 1971)
36th Meeting of the Standing Committee
Gland, Switzerland, 25-29 February 2008
|Agenda item 15.3
Regional initiatives in the framework of the Convention
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to consider the information provided in the six progress reports, attached to this paper, by regional initiatives receiving financial support from the Ramsar core budget during this triennium. Based on this, Standing Committee is invited to agree and approve arrangements for the allocation of core funding from budget lines 3a and 3b for support to these regional initiatives in 2008.
1. This paper provides information on progress with regional initiatives operating within the framework of the Convention and receiving financial support from its core budget during the triennium 2006-2008. The paper responds to the requests made by Standing Committee during its latest meeting in February 2007 and provides the information necessary to make allocations for 2008 to the ongoing regional initiatives from the Convention's core budget. Standing Committee Decision SC35-7 included the following:
" ii) From the CHF 262,382 thus available from the core budget for 2007, the following allocations of funding to regional initiatives from the core budget are approved for 2007:
WacoWet: CHF 59,700
High Andean Initiative: CHF 22,000
MedWet (as approved by Resolution IX.7): CHF 15,499
CREHO (Panama): CHF 80,000
Ramsar Centre, Iran: CHF 44,745
Pacific Islands Initiative: CHF 40,438*
* for project proposals A and B as provided in DOC.SC35-11 Addendum Annex 4
iii) Henceforth six-monthly progress and financial reports must be provided to the Secretariat from each initiative which has received funding from the core budget, the first such report being required by 31 July 2007, and the SC will then review and reallocate funds between initiatives if appropriate, and a full report for 2007 by 15 January 2008 or a minimum of six weeks in advance of the 36th meeting of the Standing Committee (whichever is earlier); andiv) In relation for Decision SC34-21, insufficient information is as yet available from all COP9-approved initiatives to determine core budget allocations for 2008, and such allocations should be considered either inter-sessionally or at SC36, taking into account satisfactory progress and reporting of each initiative, and with a deadline for requests for 2008 allocations of 31 July 2007."
2. All six regional initiatives (listed above) receiving financial support from the Ramsar core budget sent progress reports to the Secretariat in July 2007, as requested in paragraph iii) of Decision SC35-7 above. In August 2007, the Secretariat submitted a summary of their reports to Standing Committee in a paper entitled "Progress and financial status of Ramsar regional initiatives".
3. Furthermore, Decision SC35-7 requested "a full report for 2007 by 15 January 2008" (cf. above). Thus, in November 2007, the Secretariat sent all six regional initiatives a standard reporting form, based on Annex I of Resolution VIII.30, providing "Guidance for the development of regional initiatives in the framework of the Convention on Wetlands", as adopted by COP8 in 2002 (Valencia, Spain), asking them to report by the deadline indicated.
4. All six initiatives submitted their report by mid-January 2008. They are attached to this paper in Annexes A-F, covering the individual initiatives as listed in Decision SC35-7:
A) WacoWet
B) High Andean Initiative
C) MedWet
D) Pacific Islands Initiative
E) CREHO (Panama)
F) Ramsar Centre, Iran
5. The reports in Annexes A-F are provided in their original form and language, with only minor editorial modifications added by the Secretariat, to bring them in line for the ease of comparison. The questions addressed in the report form are included in grey shading, to ease the understanding and comparison of the responses.
6. The Secretariat believes that the attached reports provide a useful overview of the essential elements, objectives and progress since COP9 of these six regional initiatives. Where suitable, illustrative documents on their operational structure, governance and forward planning are attached. This may provide models or useful ideas to other initiatives working on the elaboration of similar documents. In some cases, additional information was submitted to the Secretariat. Such additional information can be obtained on request from the Senior Advisor in charge of the respective region at the Ramsar Secretariat.
7. In their first six-month progress report submitted in July 2007, all six initiatives requested financial support from the Ramsar core budget for 2008, having regard to paragraph iv) of Decision SC35-7 above. These requests for Ramsar core budget funding for 2008 were reiterated by all initiatives in the reports attached in Annexes A-F.
8. No detailed and audited accounts for 2007 were submitted by any of the regional initiatives so far. This is largely due to the early deadline of submitting progress reports by 15 January 2008 not permitting the closure and full auditing of 2007 annual accounts in time.
9. The table below is based on the provisional financial information provided in the reports attached. It summarizes for each initiative the 2007 expenditures, 2008 expenditure forecasts, and financial contributions requested from the Ramsar core budget for 2008. For the 2007 expenditures, amounts are listed in the currencies provided in the progress reports (in brackets), but for ease of comparison, these amounts are also shown in rounded equivalents in Swiss Francs (CHF). For the 2008 expenditure forecasts and the requests from the Ramsar budget, the transformation into Swiss Francs was done using the exchange rates of 23 January 2008 (indicated below), rounding the result to the nearest 100 CHF.
10. The table shows that five of the six initiatives did progress with their work during 2007 as planned and spent their budget accordingly. These initiatives are requesting Ramsar core budget contributions for their follow-up work in 2008, as they detail in the reports attached in Annexes A-F. The summary information in the table above provides an indication of the importance of the requested Ramsar contribution relative to the total expenditure forecast for 2008, i.e., the percentage of the expenditures to be covered by the Ramsar contribution (spanning roughly from 2% to 100%).
11. The report on the Pacific Islands Initiative (in Annex D) states that its Ramsar-funded Project B (Update of the 1993 Oceania Wetlands Directory) was delayed and that in 2007 only about 40% of the Ramsar contribution for this project (21,881 CHF) was disbursed. It states furthermore that the second project funded in 2007 by Ramsar (Project A: Oceania Ramsar Site Managers Workshop) had to be postponed to the first half of 2008 and requests that the Ramsar contribution (19,556 CHF) be carried forward to 2008. In addition, the report lists a number of new activities planned in 2008, for which new Ramsar core budget funding is requested in 2008.
12. COP9 increased the Ramsar core budget funding line (3.a) for support to regional networks in 2008 compared to the first two years of the triennium 2006-2008 (cf. Resolution IX.12). Despite this increase, the requests for Ramsar core budget funding in 2008 for regional networks for cooperation (230,949 CHF vs.179,190 CHF), as well as for regional centres for training and capacity building (160,000 CHF vs. 100,000 CHF), amount to substantially larger sums than those available in the Ramsar core budget.
13. Therefore, and in line with practice established during the 34th and 35th meetings of Standing Committee, the final allocations of available funds for 2008 will need to be decided during its 36th meeting, based on a careful analysis of the needs expressed by the initiatives in their progress reports attached.

Nov 20 2012: Thoughts are one of the creation by you through your brains. We are born to perform some action.
Action is only performed when you want to be but this depends on your thought. Still one question, are we control this thing.
There is two thing that contradict each other concept of "God and science". In the concept of god , "We are responsible for everything whatever we performing" and we don't print your thoughts on Canvas , so we sometime not control this. Another approach different scientific research say every thought create some specific process in your mind and we will paint on canvas. If they prove this thing 100% we are just going to another dilemma . "Are we worth for this world " bcoz my thoughts should be changed.
Lastly I want to say i am controlling my thought and this is also my creation whatever this is "Bad or Good".

Patio Theatre
574 Flatbush Avenue,
3 people favorited this theater
The Patio Theatre was supposed to be the crown jewel of the Century Theaters circuit, and was the largest and most luxurious by the company's usual architect-designer team of R.Thomas Short and William Rau. The highly gilded and ornamented auditorium was described as "Old World Spanish". The ceiling had an octagonal dome at the center, hung with a chandelier equipped with special lighting effects. The theatre took its name from a spacious patio in the center of the lobby. Surrounded by white marble columns, it had a large, three-tier fountain and reflecting pool.
The Patio Theatre first opened on November 2, 1928, with John Barrymore's silent "The Tempest" on screen and a musical program featuring the theatre's resident orchestra, conducted by Howard Emerson, and the Kimball organ, played by Emil Velazco. The Patio Theatre did not present vaudeville due to nearby competition from three theatres that did—the Flatbush Theatre, Kenmore Theatre and Albemarle Theatre.
In another year, Loew's Kings Theatre would join that group, so the Patio Theatre would never prosper, even after the decline of vaudeville. The Kings Theatre and RKO Kenmore Theatre became the leaders for the Flatbush area, with the Patio Theatre playing its movies several weeks behind them. The theatre benefited from the WWII attendance boom, but went into a decline afterwards and was hard hit by the arrival of home TV. It underwent a remodel in 1948 to the plans of architect John J. McNamara.
Century Theatres gave up on the Patio Theatre and leased it to the cheapjack Springer Circuit, which tried a policy of double-feature foreign movies before giving up. The Patio Theatre was sold for demolition and replaced by an apartment building in 1960 or thereabouts.

Brooklyn's very own Frances Faye, who was known as "Queen of Clubs" due to her popularity on the nitery circuit, topped a weekend vaudeville bill at the Patio in April, 1949, with the late-run "A Letter to Three Wives" on screen. Frances Faye's career and private life as a lesbian would later be spotlighted in Bruce Weber's feature documentary, "Chop Suey," which had a brief theatrical release before vanishing into limbo: View link
Exterior photos of the Patio and rival Loew's Kings can be viewed here:
Century advertised the Patio, singularly in the mainstream NY papers when they had stage shows. As a child I remember seeing an ad for Joey Adams. Only in later years did I know who he was so that must have been early in his career.
Just looked at the exterior photos. A double vertical. Wow!
The Nrooklyn Yheatre Index references a 1958 closing date and prints a notice "to our patrons", dated October 31 of that year, that regretfully announces the closure and offers a free pass to the neighboring Linden and Midwood Theatres …… It is interesing that a theater as ornate as the Patio has received so litte xommentary on CT. (It would be great if someone would re-link the old pictures of the place that have been lost) …… Since, unlike the King and the Kenmare, the Patio was not situated in the busy Flatbush/Chauch Avenuw commercial district, it would always have been at a financial disadvantage to them.
Here's a two-page spread of photos and text for the Patio, which was one of Brooklyn's most magnificent theatres but is barely remembered today: archive

A St. Helena Island woman has been charged in connection with an injury crash involving four children.
The wreck occurred at 1:35 a.m. Tuesday on Folly Road near Centennial Circle. The South Carolina Highway Patrol said Francia Pompilus, 30, was driving a Chevrolet north on Folly Road when she ran off to the right side of the road and struck a culvert. The vehicle overturned several times.
Four children including an infant, a 4 year old, a 2 year old and a 1 year old were in the vehicle at the time. Two children were not in car seats, according to the SCHP. All five were taken to Beaufort Memorial. Two children were flown to the Medical University of South Carolina for pediatric care.
Pompilus was charged with driving too fast for conditions and two child restraint citations.

A "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" App — In Eight Weeks
The biggest web development undertaking Project Zebra CEO Barry Scott ever faced began with a polite email from a stranger. A Hollywood marketing exec from Paramount Home Entertainment wanted to rebrand his iPhone app into a promotion for the Blu-Ray release of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon DVD & Blu-ray™", the 4th highest grossing film of all time. After some discussion, Paramount added Android and Facebook versions as well, and Barry had eight weeks to deliver it.
Scott's app became TF3 Battle Zone. Users would enter the world of "TRANSFORMERS™", forced to choose sides between AUTOBOT™ and the evil DECEPTICONS™. Scott and his team chose Ruby on Rails for most of the TF3 Battle Zone server code, and Python for the Facebook application with a specialty development shop. Everything was on schedule to be ready for a September 26th launch.
Instant Deployment in Both Ruby and Python
Days before the app's release, executives at Paramount decided they wanted to bump up the launch date of the Facebook application to precede the mobile versions. With less than 48 hours to launch TF3 Battle Zone on Facebook, Scott now had hours instead of days to push a Python app to production. He initially turned to a traditional web host and spent hours in circles attempting to deploy it there. With little familiarity with Python deployment and no time to learn new skills, Scott decided to turn elsewhere.
"There was buzz a few days before that Heroku had started offering Python. I figured I'd have a quick look to see if it could handle TF3. At three in the morning on the same day, we had it up and running on Heroku, and it just worked."
Rapid Scaling Made Simple
TF3 took off on Facebook, and Scott increased the size of his Heroku hosted Postgres database fourfold within 15 minutes to accommodate the influx of traffic based on data he'd seen from monitoring tool NewRelic. He quickly deployed the iPhone and Android versions on the Heroku platform as well. Paramount continued to promote the app to its more than 10 million Transformers Facebook fans. With each push came several thousand users. Scott was able to scale his app to support the new load with a single command from his terminal, and prevented performance issues simply by paying attention to NewRelic.
Despite the time crunch, TF3 Battle Zone acquired more than 50,000 users in weeks and is Paramount's #1 Android application to date. The "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" DVD/Blu-Ray™ international launch is upcoming, so Paramount will do even more geo-targeted promotions for TF3 Battle Zone around the world.
Consistent Growth without the Worry of Maintaining It
With operations offloaded to the Heroku platform and feedback from NewRelic, Project Zebra can focus on new projects while still being able to cater to Paramount's needs. Scott is optimistic. "We're going to have another app out before Christmas and after that, who knows. I can guarantee we'll be using Heroku."

Whatcom County law enforcement steps up patrols
Police departments throughout Whatcom County are cooperating on an enforcement project this summer aimed at arresting impaired drivers.
Called "13 is your unlucky number," the program hires local police and sheriff's deputies for extra road patrols each weekend from Sunday, July 9 through Labor Day. Last weekend, Whatcom County officers made 20 arrests for driving under the influence. Blaine's involvement is dependent upon funding and staffing issues which do not currently allow for extra patrols, but the department hopes to participate in the future. In the meantime, according to Blaine police seargent Ryan King, "We will continue our daily local enforcement of DUI offenders."
The project is being managed by Sergeant Steve Gatterman of the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office, who said that the emphasis is timed to run from, "high school graduation parties through all the summer Canadian and American holidays to Labor Day weekend."

Color Combo: Blue, Brown, and Greenish Gold
This color combo is surprisingly light and airy, even though it incorporates some hues from the darker end of the spectrum. It leans towards cool tones, with a pale blue that's got a little bit of gray in it. For an accent color, these images incorporate a gold tone that sometimes borders on yellow green. Click through for a few examples...
• 1 FLOR Velvet Twist Rug Kit
• 2 Fisherman Scarf from Woodnotes
• 3 Fisherman Scarf from Woodnotes
• 4 Gregory and Christine's Custom Chicago Style

Thaaat's what I need to update all my green/gold hand-me-downs from the 70s. And it's my husband's favorite color. Thanks!
I have been looking for a modern throw pillow for my couch that incorporates these three colors (or at least the blue, green-yellow/gold and cream) for about two years now to match a chair that I have- most pillows I find that have both green and blue in it, the green is too bold. If anyone has any suggestions please pass them on!!!
im so happy for this post! i have an olive green couch and these color schemes are perfect to go with it! yay!
My living room has evolved into this palette. It was first all white, blue/greens some grey add one piece of hardware now the golds are coming through even my ugly fireplace screen in brass (which I cannot remove) is looking better and all is more pulled together. Layers are good.
MCNicole not sure where you live by there is a store in SF that often carries this color combo, its where I bought two of my pillows that are perfect.
I found these not sure if these are your style or the right hue, but you can combine one of these with another to get all three-four colors you want-
Some nice pillows here-
I love this combo! I have used the green, blue and yellow in other parts of the house and wanted to find a way to incorporate it into my dining room which has chocolate walls. Any ideas of a good dining room rug with this scheme? Most I have found have a green that is too yellow, a yellow that is too brown and a blue that is too green...If that makes any sense. This rug is beautiful, but wouldn't fit in my formal dining room.
I love the color pallate as well, very fresh.

Looks like the future's going to suck. Sorry, everyone.
Photo: Everett Collection | Licensed to Alpha Media Group 2012
If you're anything like us – and if you are, we're so, so sorry – then you, too, dream of one day getting the hell off this weird little planet and exploring the vast reaches of outer space, tripping easily between galaxies at speeds thousands of times the speed of light, interacting with strange new cultures, and meeting attractive green-skinned humanoids who say things like, "Tell me about this Earth custom you call kissing."
Sadly, it turns out, that's not going to happen. NASA scientists have conducted extensive studies into the possibility of creating a "warp drive" – an engine able to fling a ship between distant galaxies by literally warping the space around it – and, believe it or not, such an achievement is, technically, possible. The real problem isn't with creating a gas pedal that can achieve such speeds - the problem is with the brakes.
Scientists from the University of Sydney found that even if science finds a way to achieve "warp drive," they could not create the amount of power and energy required to safely stop a vessel once it reaches its destination. As a body moves through space at the speed of light, it collects high-energy particles – once the ship screeches to a halt (we know, it probably wouldn't screech), those particles continue, thanks to inertia, to zoom through space with enough energy to crash into and destroy an entire planet. Which makes arriving at your destination somewhat problematic, obviously. Oh, inertia. It's yet another reason to curse the name of Sir Isaac Newton (the other reason is for giving us Fig Newtons, which we can't stop eating and are making us fatter and therefore driving up our health insurance premiums, the bastard).

I usually take my sweet time to write, but today I'm writing a fairly hasty response to an article I just read online by Gary Kamiya for San Francisco Magazine/Modern Luxury: San Francisco is Dead. Long Live San Francisco. Gary is a longtime resident of the city and while he's both a former tenant and landlord, and feels strongly about the current plight faced by the fading middle class, the poor, the disabled, artists, activists, mentors and anyone else who can't afford $3,000/month studio apartment. He doesn't see the argument as black and white and writes intelligently about the many issues at play here now, and feels very strongly about the city's ethnic diversity and maverick progressive tradition. He even wrote a book about it (Cool Gray City of Love.)
As do I, Gary does not approach the argument monolithically, which isn't realistic and hardly useful in the end, I agree. Yes things have heated up to an extreme; it's easy these days for politicians, activists and corporations to all engage in street theatre designed to attract ultimate media attention. And with a few proud exceptions, it's hard to rely on the media to provide you with a sensible examination of all the issues. Kamiya's article is thought provoking, well written, and attempts to suggest that the current "cultural, political and class war that has erupted in San Francisco – call it The Change – strikes me as wrongheaded to the point of surreality." He argues that more of that surreality comes from the left, that there is no enemy and that there is confusion in making the argument about hi-tech companies and employees, new construction and city policies when the reality is about capitalism, pure and simple.
For the record I was part of the dot-com boom, an employee of high tech companies that collapsed when the first tech bubble collapsed in 2001 and was laid off twice. I became unemployed, then disabled, then broke. The circumstances then were not nearly this extreme, but still, many residents didn't appreciate the new tech workers and their high salaries. That lack of appreciation was palpable and I didn't like it. Today I rely on Social Security and am semi-retired, a transformed struggling artist and writer trying to survive and feeling very blessed to still be living in the city in my tiny and too expensive rent-controlled studio apartment. So like, Gary, I can see and relate to both sides too. Certain aspects of "The Change," are about undeniable economic forces that are at play and may not be able to be stopped. And I agree it's wrong to blankly blame or attack anyone, in this case tech workers, for being the sole cause of the problem. But I think that's where I stop agreeing with him.
I don't agree that that city elected officials can't do anything to navigate and regulate this issue. To say only that "City Hall is in the business of stoking new business, welcoming new people and attracting new capital." While Kamiya is also right to have us remember what an economic slump the city was in just a few years ago, and that we should appreciate the influx of new business and investment, I think that City Hall is in, or should be in, the business of a lot more than that. City Hall also enacts laws to protect its residents, to control development and to preserve culture here. While most cities do take the "Chamber of Commerce" approach to welcoming any business or investment at almost any cost, this is San Francisco, and the writer says he knows that.
I don't think anyone knows at this point how all of this will play out. The city has enacted an affordable housing plan to build 30,000 new homes in a few years – we need more like 100,000 and that seems unlikely. As it has always been, city activism has it's place, as do "we" artists, writers, activists, mentors, middle-class or low-income residents. As do many residents who grew up here and have been here longer than I, I agree that not only is city preservation important, and so is sound planning and development, sufficient affordable housing. San Francisco should continue to be a supporter and voice for diversity, the disenfranchised, low and middle income residents. I don't want to see more artists forced out of the city. Including me. Now I'm going to continue to think about it all, and write about it some more.

The National Geographic Society has confirmed plans to feature
the Ice Age fossil find near Snowmass Village in National
Geographic magazine and in a National Geographic-NOVA special on
PBS -- both to be released in the next year. Additionally,
research for the Snowmastodon Project™ is supported in part by a
$55,000 grant from the National Geographic Society.
"We are thrilled to announce National Geographic's interest in
this important project," said Dr. Kirk Johnson, the leader of the
excavation team and vice president of the Research and Collections
Division at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. "We
know this site has scientific significance, and their support helps
us investigate our findings and share this discovery with an
incredible number of people."
Work on the seven-week dig at Ziegler Reservoir has passed the
halfway mark and continues at an aggressive pace, with more than
1,700 Ice Age fossils uncovered this spring. The crew of more than
40 people is working with efficiency, thanks to the efforts of
local volunteers and additional Museum staff, plus excavators,
track hoes, and other machines.
Scientists and educators from the Museum plan to share information
about this amazing find at several upcoming events, including the
Ice Age Spectacular in Snowmass Village on June 18
and 19, and presentations by Kirk Johnson at Colorado Mountain College on June
15 and at the Aspen Institute on June 23.
With only seven weeks to spend in the field and bones popping out
of the ground left and right, it's only natural for things to get a
little competitive at the dig site. Follow teams Mammoth, Sloth,
Tiger Salamander, and Trench as they compete for the biggest bone
count in the No Bones Left Behind Challenge. Click here to vote for your
favorite team!
Get caught up on everything that happened in the field, learn
what scientists are doing to preserve the bones, and find out the
latest discoveries from our team of experts.

Tuesday's 4-3 county commission vote means a 4.35 millage increase for the 2011 budget — and also money into savings to help the county improve its credit rating, Hunt writes. The move will generate about $50 million more in revenue, $5 million of it into reserves.
The tax hike adds $93 a year to the tax bill on the average home, which dropped in value since last year, Hunt reports.
But tax bills increase far more where home values have remained the same, with a $420 increase, for instance, on a home that remained at $300,000, Hunt writes.
Even commission supporters of the tax hike criticized the management of Chief Executive Burrell Ellis, who proposed the tax hike in May saying that falling housing prices would create a $37 million shortfall in the $529 million budget, Hunt writes.

CEO Ellis and his lieutenants jrader and kgannon have no idea how to run the county without simply raising taxes. That is their standard answer each year to everything. None of them care about growing Dekalb businesses and certainly have no interest in Dekalb's working class. There are plenty of ways to balance the budget just as I have to do mine without raising taxes.

It is people like CEO Ellis, jrader and kgannon that force those of us who love Dekalb as well as the Democrat Party to move elsewhere as well as having to vote Republican. They are doing their best to destroy Dekalb County as well as the few Democrats still left in the State.

the answer is not to raise taxes on the property owners to the point they can't afford their taxes.
the size and scope of county agencies and departments must evaluated and downsized appropriately. duplicate agencies must be consolidated and then downsized in order to provide the taxpayers with the best services for their dollars. Counties such as dekalb that simply look to tax their way through all of this budget crisis will wind up losing residents and forcing people into bankruptcies rather than eliminating county government waste and excess.

So, let me get this straight. My home is worth roughly $20,000 less than what I owe on the mortgage. The county asesses my home and cuts the taxes because of the loss of value. Now the county wants to turn around and raise my taxes 26% to charge me basically what my mortgage is worth, not what my property is worth. What a shell game!
Wish I could trade my house in (like a car), buy one of those foreclosures out there, and add the negative equity to my new loan. It'd be cheaper than remaining status quo.

more taxes, more fraud, more waste, more giveaways to connected friends for useless costs. welcome to loserville!!

When demand outstrips supply for a business, that business will sometimes raise the price of the product. This helps put supply and demand in equilibrium by effectively reducing the number of buyers of the product.
It sounds like Dekalb County believes it is at disequilibrium–there are simply too many homeowners.
By its actions, Dekalb County has chosen to reduce the number of Dekalb homeowners–and businesses and everything else.
Good luck with that.

The Dekalb county Ga county commissioners have voted to increase property taxes by and unprecedented 26 % on already economically embattled residents . This in spite of rising food, water , utility and healthcare costs . Despite the fact few if any DeKalb county residents have enjoyed any increase in their family operating budgets .More signifigantly Georgia retains not only one of the nations highest documented unempolyment rates , but also is in the top three states where residents are experiencing the highest rates of real estate default foreclosure . Add to this some of the highest annual vehicle registration rates in the nation ,and it becomes sickeningly apparent that the county govenment is concerned only wth resolving their budget shortfalls ,with as little resourceful stategy as possible . Burdening an already financially strapped tax payer represents the path of least resistance to them . Yet the same county commissioners are making NO personal sacrifices to assist in relieving the counties budget shortfalls . Stand up for the rights imbued you by our nations Bill of Rights . . . "No taxation , without representation"
Kindly sign online petition and pass it on .
Meanwhile economists predict with confidence that home values nationwide will plummet another 20% before the end of the fiscal year making a tax such as this m an even further threat to the security of Dekalb county home owners for who there is NO bailout . (story on YAHOO news)
Kindly sign the petition online (spyware/malware free !) and pass it on to as people as you can !

WE really didn't need the fancy new V12 Dodge Charger pursuit cars at the taxpayers expense when we have such an extreme budget deficit ,the county residents have to be subjected to financial rape to pay for them .

Consortium Financial Assistance Request
Financial assistance may be available to student enrolling in courses at multiple colleges/universities (dual enrollment). The institution from which a student will receive his/her degree is considered the "home school" and will award financial aid. Classes taken at another institution, the "visiting school," may be counted towards total financial aid hours.
Western Kentucky University students wishing to enroll in classes offered through another college/university may have those classes covered by financial aid if the student has met basic eligibility requirements. These include being enrolled in a degree seeking program, having a current FAFSA on file and having completed requests for any/all additional requirements (tax information, probation counseling, etc.). The student must also comply with the stipulations listed below:
- Student must be admitted in good academic standing as a degree-seeking student at Western Kentucky University.
- Western Kentucky University must be listed on the FAFSA (SAR)

To begin the consortium process, the student must first fill out a Consortium Request on TopNet. This request is received by the Financial Aid Office and is used to generate a Consortium Agreement. If a student wishes to attend more than one visiting school, he/she will need to submit the Consortium Request separately for each visiting school. The Consortium Agreement, which you must take to your visiting school, will be sent as an attachment to your WKU topper email once your Consortium Request has been processed.
When you press CONTINUE, you will be redirected to TopNet where you will complete the Consortium Request. Log in using your Net ID and password, choose Financial Aid, and then Consortium Request.

Join Randy Kochevar from Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station to hear about the Tagging of Pacific Predators (TOPP) project, which tags and tracks 22 different top ocean predator species.

More information about Bernie Torme tickets
Bernie Tormé – Guitar Legend/ Blues Rock Psychedelic Shredmeister/ Glam Punk Sleaze Rock Frontman is known for many things:
Stepping in & saving the day for Ozzy Osbourne in the aftermath of guitar legend Randy Rhoad's tragic death.
Hit records, world tours & international fame as as Ian Gillan's axe-man in Gillan,
Forming Desperado with Twisted Sister front man Dee Snider, which also featured ex Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr.
Fronting his own bands Electric Gypsies, and later Torme (featuring Phil Lewis of L.A. Guns/ Girl fame).
And more:
It has been said of Irish guitarist Bernie Tormé that he plays his Stratocaster through a Marshall as though he knew them in a previous life.
Dublin born Bernie learned his trade from local heroes such as Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and Eric Bell before moving to London in 74, where he initially played with heavy pub rockers Scrapyard, and then formed the Bernie Torme Band in 76. The BTB toured with Bob Geldof's Boomtown Rats and Billy Idol's Generation X among many others.
In early 79 Bernie joined ex Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan's band Gillan, and was crucial to the bands success as guitar hero foil to Ian's soaring vocals. While a member of Gillan he wrote and played on four top ten albums and many hit singles, including Gillan's biggest selling singles, 'New Orleans' and 'Trouble'.
After his stint with Gillan, Bernie joined Ozzy Osbourne on the Diary Of A Madman tour in the US standing in for the legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads who had been tragically killed in an air crash just days beforehand. Madison Square Garden was among the gigs that Bernie played with Ozzy: a young Zakk Wylde who was present in the audience has been quoted in interviews as saying 'Bernie rocked'.
Bernie's first solo album (Turn Out The Lights) was released in the UK, Europe and Japan in 1982 shortly after his return from Ozzy's US tour. Playing gigs in the UK and Europe continuously through the remainder of 82 and 83 when his second solo album 'Electric Gypsies' was released, the album's title being drawn from the title of his three piece band touring band. 'Electric Gypsies' was particularly successful in Japan, where both it, 'Turn Out The Lights', and 'Bernie Torme Live' were re released last year (2013).
Bernie also found time during this period to tour Europe and record with legendary keyboard player Vincent Crane (ex-The Crazy World of Arthur Brown) as a member of psychedelic doom rockers Atomic Rooster.
In the mid 80's Bernie worked with ex-Girl and LA Guns front man Phil Lewis in Tormé: the band released four albums, including the cult classic "Back to Babylon" which again made waves in Japan.
Following Phil Lewis's departure to the LA Guns, Bernie teamed up with Twisted Sister's Dee Snider and Iron Maiden's drummer Clive Burr to form Desperado, writing with Snider and recording the album "Ace" (also widely bootlegged prior to the official release as 'Bloodied but Unbowed'). Bernie and Dee have remained close friends, Dee having made appearances on two of Bernie's albums, and also joining Bernie and the Guy McCoy Torme band (GMT) onstage at the Hard Rock Hell festival 2007.
Bernie has more recently recorded three albums since 2006 with Guy McCoy Torme (GMT) featuring bassist man mountain John McCoy, also ex Gillan, and drummer Robin Guy.
During this period Bernie also worked with German band 'Silver', playing lead guitar on three albums.
In 2013 Bernie started playing solo gigs again with his favourite three piece line up format, playing festivals in Spain and the UK. He is planning to record a new solo album in 2014, which will be the first Bernie Torme solo album for 15 years.
Bernie Torme has recorded over 24 albums in his career to date as a solo artist or band member.
