Opera House Jewelry Collection-Red Ellipse Pearl Necklace (Gold-Plated)Gold Opera House Curtain Necklace
Designed by Katherine Kornblau of KJK Jewelry in New York, this lovely jewelry was inspired by a section of the pattern on the Kennedy Center's Opera House curtain. The curtain pattern pieces are made from lead free pewter, then plated with gold. The gem is fresh water red pearl.
Red silk and gold thread combine to make one of the most splendid gifts the Kennedy Center has ever been given, the Opera House curtain. Received from the people of Japan, the elegant curtain was literally a big gift. Weighing 3,000 pounds and measuring 47 by 117 feet, its size posed a problem to weave. It was too large to be woven by hand, yet required the sensitivity of hand weaving to convey the feeling of rhythm in the gentle curves of its designs. The ingenious solution to this problem was to custom build the world's largest Jacquard weaving machine for Kyoto's master weavers, comprised of 3,600 needles.
The rhythmic pattern of the curtain is called Spring Flowers, a Japanese symbol of progress, in honor of the frontier spirit of President Kennedy.
All components of this collection are made and assembled in the USA.
The Red Ellipse Pearl Earrings and Gold Earrings go well with this necklace.
Here is the curtain pattern that inspired this jewelry:

Columbus >Food & Dining > Columbus Brewing Co
525 Short St, Columbus, OH | Directions 4321539.950767 -83.003698
Monday To Thursday From 11:00 AM To 10:00 PM Friday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 11:00 PM
Neighborhoods: South Columbus, Brewery District
My new favorite Restaurant! – My wife took me to Columbus Brewing Company for my birthday last night. I've been once before for lunch and really enjoyed it. For dinner I purchased the Top Sirloin Steak and it ended up being one of the best steaks I have ever had in my life. Cooked to perfection, an inch & 1/2 thick and it took all I had to finish it! I had two IPA drafts which were perfect! Ordered a dessert to go for our babysitter. To our surprise the best was yet to come: THE CHECK! I couldn't believe the bargain this place give you for the dinner experience you receive. I highly recommend. (BTW, this is only the 2nd time I have ever written a review for a restaurant. The other review was horribly negative for a location in Circleville, OH) The fact that I'm even taking the time to write this means you should give this place a shot! Enjoy!
Beautiful Patio Seating – They have got to improve the signage at this place. I could only find it because I'd been there before. My friend drove right past. We had a great waiter. The most amazing spinach artichoke dip EVER! I highly recommend. My meal was ok, had the something encrusted chicken, it was good. The waiter kept the refills coming.
Fries – Don't miss the fries here. Unquestionably one of the best i have eaten so far. The beer is as good as the food.
This place may be difficult to find, keep driving on high street untill you see a billboard with directions to the place.
Good Beer + Good Food – Located in the Brewery District, the brewpub is L-shaped, with the bar being on one side and the dining area on the other. There are a lot of red hues, flora and track lighting, giving the place a trendy and chic feel. There is a nice view of the brewing facilities via a large window in the back of the dining area.
CBC has a fair selection of beers. They typically have about 5 beers year-round with one rotating seasonal. It seems like they could expand on that. Their beers are all above average and they offer a sampler.
The service is decent here as well. Being an upscale establishment, the wait staff won't hesitate to make recommendations and know the beers pretty well. Same goes for the bar staff.
The food is of course excellent, as it is in any Mitchell restaurant. The sandwiches are very tasty.
This urban brewpub features spicy, creative dishes and awesome local beers and ales. – Everything's Better with Beer
A match made in heaven--chef Cameron Mitchell and brewmaster Ben Pridgeon--got together to create this avant garde Brewery District hangout. The tasty beers include pale, golden, nut brown and apricot ales, a wheat beer and a porter based on an 1859 recipe.
The Menu
The food ranges from upscale sandwiches, such as Columbus Pale Ale pulled pork, to high-quality entrees, such as grilled mahi mahi and filet mignon. The roasted chicken black bean chili is a flavorful meal in itself. The artichoke and feta pizza with sun-dried tomatoes is a good bet, and the fried calamari--tossed with a tangy Asian hot and sour glaze--is great beer food.
A Sweet Ending
CBC's desserts are consistently good; the creme brulee and upside-down banana cream pie are real treats. Eat the sinful smore dessert (peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream, chocolate, peanut graham cracker crust and roasted marshmallows) with a friend, because it's entirely too rich to finish on your own.
Typical Mitchell Restaurant - Good! – Really yummy food. Hard to find location. Beers were pretty good. Nothing spectacular but nothing to complain about either!! Usually not too busy, which is a plus!

We desperately try to adhere to the less-is-more philosophy, and Dr. Jart's Water Fuse Beauty Balm helps us minimize our routine. A moisturizer, sunscreen, and treatment serum all-in-one, this tinted BB cream even helps hide imperfections—so there's no need for foundation or cover-up. Think of it as the Swiss Army Knife of your beauty cabinet.
Dr. Jart+ is awesome...this product does exactly what he says it does. I love that it feels light on my skin and and doesn't dry out my already dry skin. This product is great for the make-up free face.
Love the feel of this BB cream. It's lightweight, gives skin a great finish, and feels comfortable all day. Can layer a bit of foundation or concealer over it for more converage. And uses calming ingredients to minimize irritations and redness.
This is a great BB cream with minimal to medium coverage with a dewy finish that lasts all day. I can see how people with especially oily skin may want to steer away from this, but this is great product for combination or dry skin. It's very easy to build in areas that you need more coverage, and actually makes your skin look better as the day goes on and it sinks in. Will definitely buy the full size once my sample runs out.
with bronzer and blush, this works as a regular foundation. Smells great, great moisturizer, and doesn't make me break out at all!
The color I received as a sample was a little too gray for me and didn't make my skin glow. It covered up some imperfections, but not as well as other bb creams. The smell, texture and sample size was ok, but I wouldn't purchase it over other bb creams. I haven't noticed any improvement in my skin from wearing it.
I struggled with it at first because it beads up but after playing with it a few times it became my favorite weekend no make up make up. I love the high SPF, great for if you are going to be out and about all day.
Very nice covers easy. feels fresh and light. very nice entire line of premium products. sample size maybe a bit small.
Nice amount of spf livung in florida.
This BB cream was really smooth and made my skin feel like silk. I really like how it has a sunscreen built in and how well it covers any imperfections.
I found this little sample in my make-up kit, and then headed to the beach. It was perfect! Great SPF and good coverage. Will purchase this one.
I cannot say enough about this BB cream! It is the best I have tried by far! I have fair to light skin tone and it matches perfectly. It feels wonderful and is still light and matifying by the end of the day. My husband asked what I was doing differently after I had worn it for a couple of days, he said I was glowing!

The local bar and lounge scene is ruled by the funk, soul brother sounds of DJ KFC (real initials), whose feel-good sets never fail to rouse both life and revelry. He graces us with the first set of the night at Midnight Shift x Zouk 02: Future Bound on 25 Feb 2012, plus a special preview mix recorded live at Overeasy that should get your mouth watering for more.
What is your day job, and how do you balance it with DJing?
I'm a freelance graphic designer in the day. I work from home which makes time management a lot more flexible. The DJing bit happens mostly at night so it works out.
Tell us about your musical journey and how it has evolved till today.
My elder brother has definitely been the biggest influence. He was into all kinds of genres and styles. From the late 70s all the way till the end of the 90s, he let rip all the rock, soul, funk, new wave, electronic, hip hop, R&B, indie and everything else in between. This was my music 101. Then came the trip hop, acid jazz period from the mid 90s onwards thanks to a friend from Melbourne. I also went into a major funk and soul phase during that time. Lots of BBE indulgence. In 2001, I caught a serious case of the vinyl bug. Started buying records before I even had a turntable to play them on. Lots of house, soul and funk wax in the box. Right now it's really varied because I play at bars and lounges mostly. Love the edits and remixes and the slo mo nu disco stuff.
Describe one of your most memorable gigs so far.
I love playing especially when my friends are on the floor. Those usually take the top spot for favourite gigs. If I had to choose, it'll have to be a seven hour, no toilet break, set for NYE 2010.
What gear do you use, and which is your favourite?
I use Serato now. With either CDJs or turntables. Depends on what the venue has. I do miss playing vinyls though. I do like the DJM900 mixer.
What do you like or dislike about the local music scene?
In terms of the club music scene…enough of the cheesy commercial stuff. It can be quite disheartening and uninspiring for the DJs. There is so much good music out there and all you want is LMFAO? Shame shame! On the flipside, we have the local collectives and labels like the Pushin'On crew, Bedsty, Syndicate, Darker than Wax and MNS that are constantly striving to keep the music and parties fresh. Kudos to these fellas.
What's in your current top 10?
Of late, it's been music from:
Late Nite Tuff Guy, Tuomo, Todd Terje, Maceo Plex, Drive OST, Echo Park, EJECA, fLako, Julio Bashmore, Zimmer...
What upcoming music releases are you looking forward to?
Definitely looking out for Late Night Tuff Guy's Tuff Edits Volume 4.
What projects are you currently working on?
Project 'Sort My iTunes Out'. It's a real mess. It's been ongoing for three years now.
What are you excited to see in the local and/or international music scene this year?
Locally, a new venue with good sound and forward thinking music would be nice. Keep it simple, keep it fresh. No need for them 'atas exclusive my bottle bigger than yours venues'. And please, enough of the top 40 cheese.
Internationally, Fuji Rock is definitely on the cards. Hoping The Stones Roses can 'tahan' being together long enough so I can watch them live.
What can we expect from you at the upcoming Midnight Shift event?
'Cos it's the early set, probably some groovier nu disco stuff, possibly headed towards the deeper end as the night progresses. It really depends on the vibe and the floor that night.

Since the dawn of civilizations agriculture is one sector that impacts and in turn is impacted the most by environment. Hence sustainability of the human race and this world depends a lot on the environmental friendliness of our agriculture.
India is facing a food crisis thanks to the systematic destruction of farmlands and food production systems over the last five decades through uncontrolled use of chemical fertilisers, pesticides, mono-cropping and other intensive agricultural practices. Instead of looking at the real problem the government is favouring false solutions like genetically engineered (GE) food crops.
Ecological farming is the answer to the problems being faced by agriculture in our country today. It will also keep agriculture sustainable. This form of agriculture conserves our soil and water resources, protects our climate, enhances agro-diversity, ensures biodiversity, meets the demand for food and safeguards livelihoods. In short, it ensures that the environment thrives, the farm is productive, the farmer makes a net profit and society has enough nutritious food.
India has a long history of agriculture. Over centuries, farmers in this country devised practices to keep our farms sustainable. Practices like mixed cropping, crop rotation, using organic manure and pest management kept our agriculture sustainable. But things changed for the worse with the onslaught of a chemical intensive model of agriculture, imposed through the so called Green Revolution in 1965.
It was therefore not surprising when the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development [IAASTD], an initiative of the United Nations and World Bank, concluded that small-scale farmers and agro-ecological methods are the way forward if the current food crisis is to be solved. This initiative involved a three year review of all the agricultural technologies in the past 50 years by around 400 scientists across the world.
The IAASTD said that to meet the needs of local communities, indigenous and local knowledge need to be declared as important as formal science. This is a significant departure from the destructive chemical-dependent, one-size-fits-all model of industrial agriculture. The report also acknowledges that genetically engineered crops are highly controversial and will not play a substantial role in addressing the key problems of climate change, biodiversity loss, hunger and poverty.
Greenpeace is not opposed to science nor is it opposed to finding more efficient farming methods. But we will not stand for the wilful destruction of the soil, water and biodiversity for the gains of corporates. Nor will we let human beings be treated as guinea pigs to test new crops. Keeping this in mind the sustainable agriculture campaign is currently focused on the following:
Fertiliser Campaign: Degraded soil with diminishing fertility, food full of toxins, huge carbon footprints and empty coffers. This is exactly what chemical fertilizers are doing in this country. It's time to shift from these to ecological means of cultivation proved to be successful in several parts of the country.
GE Campaign: Touted as the perfect solution to the food crisis, GE crops will only worsen it. Among other things, they pose a threat to human health and compromise on food safety. GE crops should not be released into the open at any cost.
An infographic on Genetically Modified food. Genetically Modified crops commercialised for nearly 20 years. Industry data indicates a rejection by majority of the countries to adopt this controversial technology.
Concerns over the commercial release of genetically modified (GM), Bt brinjal, also called aubergine or talong, relate to biosafety. One major concern is the potential for transgene flow from Bt brinjal to wild, weedy and cultivated relatives. As...

Leftover food and condiments are a nuisance: not enough for its intended use and too much to throw away. A spoonful of peanut butter or a little bit of mustard can be transformed into something delicious, so don't throw it away; use it up! Here's how to make your pantry items good to the last drop with these leftover condiment recipes:
More on Shine: 10 new ways to use peanut butter
Peanut Butter - With only a couple of spoonfuls of peanut or almond butter left, you can have breakfast in a jar. To make overnight oats with a nut-butter flavor, add 3 tablespoons oats and equal parts milk to 2 tablespoons of peanut or almond butter, then stir, screw on the top, and place in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, top the overnight oats with fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Mustard - Turn that little bit of mustard left in the bottle into a mustard marinade to use on pork chops, chicken, or flank steak. Use equal parts (2 tablespoons) coffee, bourbon, and mustard, add a dash (1 teaspoon) of soy or Worcestershire sauce, and stir. Marinade your favorite cut of meat for a couple of hours and then grill.

Pickle Juice - Once the pickles are gone, don't throw out the pickle juice! Instead, make a dirty martini, or add pickle juice to your favorite barbeque sauce to kick up the flavor. You can even stir in a small amount of pickle juice into your favorite hummus to heighten the flavors.

Herlinda Trigo, 44, was taken into custody Wednesday afternoon near the corner of General McMullen Drive and Ceralvo Street. The official charge against her is cruelty to non livestock-torture.
Records show she was released from jail the same day after posting a $2,000 bond.
A police report stated that a man called 911, telling police dispatchers he was following a pickup with a dog tied to its bumper, heading south on SW 34th St.
The man later told officers he had flagged down Trigo, who was driving the truck, and told her what was going on, but she cussed at him and sped off, the police report stated.
The witness told police he heard the dog's neck snap and saw it die, then watched as Trigo showed it to a friend who began laughing, the police report stated.
Officers said they caught up with Trigo some time later and questioned her and a passenger about the dog. They said she eventually admitted she had dumped the animal along Fortuna Road near 36th Street.
The report stated that police found the dead dog in a grassy lot, with a red rope tied around its neck and drag marks on its body.
In that report, officers said Trigo told them she tied the dog to the truck because it had just given birth to a litter of puppies, and that she "made a mistake" by driving off.

UCF Knights
The University of Central Florida first fielded a varsity football team in the fall of 1979 as a Division III program, and subsequently completed their ascension to Division I–A, now known as the Division I Football Subdivision, in 1996. As a Division I–AA program, the Knights made the 1990 and 1993 playoffs, and were picked as the preseason No. 1 team to start the 1994 season.
As of the completion of the 2013 regular season, UCF has 215 official victories, has won four division championships, and three conference championships. The Knights have made six postseason appearances since joining FBS, in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013, including one BCS bowl game. One Consensus All-American has played at UCF, Kevin Smith in 2007, and the school has produced two Heisman Trophy candidates, Daunte Culpepper in 1998 and Kevin Smith in 2007. The program has also produced a long-line of NFL players. Playing in fourteen Super Bowls and including four pro-bowlers, the list most notably includes Brandon Marshall, Bruce Miller, Matt Prater, Asante Samuel, Mike Sims-Walker, and Josh Sitton. The Knights' main rivals are the East Carolina Pirates and the South Florida Bulls.

Reed had six players receive all-league nods, while Reno and Spanish Springs followed with five apiece.
There was no team in Nevada that stopped Raiders sophomore point guard Gabby Williams this season. So despite having two more seasons on the hardwood with the Blue and Gold, High Desert League coaches named Williams co-Player of the Year along with Reno senior CC Sobrio.
"As a sophomore, even her being nominated was awesome. Usually they just give Player of the Year to seniors," Reed girls basketball coach Sara Schopper said. "When everybody said Gabby deserved it, I was excited for her. I think she deserves co-Player of the Year. Hopefully her junior and senior years she gets Player of the Year without any co's. She showed that at the end that she's one of the best players in the area. I think her best game was the state championship game composure wise and pressure wise. She just looked smooth."
Reed also had three players named to the first team all-league list. Seniors Nyasha LeSure and Sierra Hooft joined sophomore Tyler Sumpter on the first team.
"They're the reasons we've hung two banners," Schopper said. "I was glad Tyler got in there because I think Tyler is one of the best shooters there is around. She's played through a stress fracture and gutted up for her team. I was excited to see all of them there, Sierra, Tyler, Nyasha and Gabby. The four of them are the reason we hung more banners. Those four girls coming together, everyone stepped up in different games."
All five of Spanish Springs starters earned all-league recognition - none of whom will graduate. Junior forward Lyndsey Anderson led the way as the only first team selection for the Cougars. Anderson led the team in scoring (10.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.7 rpg). She was also first in field-goal percentage, free throws made and attempted, blocks and was second in steals.
"Lyndsey is an honor to coach. She's a hard worker. She gives her best effort everyday," SSHS girls basketball coach Christine Eckles said. "She's just a phenomenal athlete. She plays inside for us and half the time is undersized. She's just never outworked. She's willing to go up against anybody. She works very hard for all her points whether they're off of offensive rebounds or getting steals. She's just a very complete player for us."
While Reed didn't have any players voted to the second team, Spanish Springs had two — junior Riley Holladay and sophomore point guard Hannah Woytek.
Holladay averaged 9.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. She was first on the SSHS squad in assists, second in rebounds, field-goal percentage, 3-pointers and blocks, and third in scoring for the Cougars. Woytek scored 7.4 points and dished out three assists a contest.
Both local schools had two players named honorable mentions. Rounding out Reed's all-leaguers were senior Makaela Moore and sophomore Brooke Cervantes. Spanish Springs got freshman MorningRose Tobey, who was the other Cougar who scored in double figures (10.3 ppg) and led the team in treys with 33, as an honorable mention along with junior Sam Owens, who poured in about seven points a night.
"This is a great group of kids, one through 12. Obviously our five starters all received some sort of award. It was deserved because they work hard," Eckles said. "It should be an exciting year for them. I know they're hungry to work to get into the postseason again next year. They're the type of kids who will put in the work in the offseason to get better. It's very exciting for them, the coaching staff and the school."
Player of the Year wasn't the only major award that was shared. Coaches for both local schools were voted co-Coach of the Year for the HDL.
"It's nice to get an award from your peers because you coach against them all year. It's nice when they recognize you're doing a good job or that was a good game plan," Schopper said.
Her Spanish Springs counterpart shared similar sentiments after leading the Cougars to their second 20-win season in school history. Spanish Springs went 12-4 in league action with its only losses coming to Reed and Reno, the two teams that met for the Northern 4A Regional and state championships.
"I was surprised, and it is an honor. It's always nice to be recognized by your peers," Eckles said. "I'm grateful to have the hard work we all put in recognized."
In the 3A, Sparks received two all-league honors.
Junior leading scorer Krystal Parker was voted to the Mount Rose League's second team, while her older sister Stephanie was an honorable mention.

How many jobs in America are related to agriculture?
A: Please visit the U.S. Drought 2012-13: Farm & Food Impacts page to find information about the possible consequences of the drought for American farmers and consumers.
A: The top 10 agricultural producing States, in terms of cash receipts are (in descending order): California, Iowa, Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, North Carolina, Indiana, and Missouri. These and related statistics can be found among ERS's Farm Income and Wealth Statistics.
A: Cattle and calves producers earned the largest receipts, followed by producers of corn, soybeans, dairy products, and broilers. These and related statistics can be found among ERS's Farm Income and Wealth Statistics (see "Leading Commodities by State, 2009").
A: No. In fact, family farms have accounted for a large majority of farm numbers and agricultural sales since the 1970s. But as production shifts to larger farms, family-owned farm businesses often become incorporated. Family corporations (having more than half the voting stock held by individuals related by blood or marriage) account for about a fifth of farm sales.
A: Since the mid-1990s, the income of the average farm household has surpassed that of nonfarm households, and farm household income today derives from a number of income sources. The financial well-being of farm households today depends less on the income from the farm business and more on the availability of remunerative off-farm employment.
A: California has the largest number of food manufacturing plants, followed by New York and Texas (see text under second pie chart).
A: Americans are consuming less beef per capita than in the 1970s, or in the 1980s. We're also, per capita, consuming more food overall. The ERS Food Consumption (per capita) Data System provides data on the wide variety of foods in the American diet, and explains how the data are derived.
Food prices surged in the final quarter of 2011, resulting in annual price inflation of 3.7 percent for all food. The food-at-home Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased more 4.8 percent in 2011-above the expected rate, but not as strong as in 2008 when it increased 6.4 percent. With inflationary pressures not expected to intensify in 2012, food prices are projected to increase 2.5 to 3.5 percent in 2012. ERS publishes monthly updates on food CPI analysis and forecasts.
A: Resource-constrained hunger refers to a potential consequence of food insecurity that, because of prolonged, involuntary lack of food, results in discomfort, illness, weakness, or pain that goes beyond the usual uneasy sensation. While USDA's measurement of food insecurity provides some information about the economic and social contexts that may lead to hunger, it does not measure hunger or the number of hungry people.
In 2010, 85.5 percent of U.S. households were food secure throughout the entire year, meaning that they had access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The remaining households (14.5 percent) were food insecure at least some time during the year, including 5.4 percent with very low food security-meaning that the food intake of one or more household members was reduced and their eating patterns were disrupted at times during the year because the household lacked money and other resources for food.
There are an estimated 13.5 million Americans in food desert census tracts who reside far from a supermarket or large grocery store. Just over 11 million of these Americans live in urban tracts (and are more than 1 mile from a store), while the remainder are in rural census tracts (and are 10 miles from a store). See ERS's Food Desert Locator for more details.
A: According to ERS research, most households that are eligible but don't participate in the Food Stamp Program said they would apply for benefits if they were sure they were eligible. However, about a quarter of the eligible households not participating reported that they would not apply in any case, mainly because of a desire for personal independence.
A: U.S. agriculture enjoys a trade surplus, with the value of exports exceeding imports. The level of the surplus has changed over time, with increasing agricultural imports. ERS publishes monthly trade updates.
A: Trade is essential to the U.S. agricultural sector, with agricultural exports accounting for more than 20 percent of the volume of U.S. agricultural production. (Scroll down to "Food and Fiber Sector Indicators."). The export share of food grains is among the highest of specific commodity groups.
A: Diversity within the farm sector results in an unbalanced distribution of all government payments (including commodity and conservation programs). Farm size (acreage), location, types of commodities produced, and operator and household characteristics are among the factors associated with allocation of government payments. ERS provides a wide range of data on government payments and the farm sector. Use ERS's Farm Business and Household Survey Data to create customized summaries of payments for diverse types of farm operations.
Note: In step 1 select "Farm Business Income Statement," and then "Government Payments."
In steps 3 and 4, select the category of farms or farm households.
As of 2010 (latest year of data currently available), the farm share was 14.1 cents of each food dollar expenditure, and the marketing bill was 85.9 cents, accounting for the remainder of the food dollar.
Proceeds from each food dollar expenditure are divided into two sub-components of market value:
ERS updates the food dollar series annually.
A: U.S. agricultural-environmental policy addresses a range of environmental concerns including soil quality, water quality, wildlife habitat, air quality, and other issues of concern. The United States uses a number of policy instruments, notably land retirement programs, but relies most heavily on financial incentives and technical assistance to agricultural producers who agree to adopt practices designed to improve their environmental performance.
A: The population of nonmetro counties has been trending upward, the result of in-migration from metropolitan areas and from abroad. ERS provides data on demographic trends in nonmetro areas, including how "nonmetro" is defined.
A: In 2012, agriculture and related industries had a 4.8 percent value-added share of nominal GDP, consisting of a 1.0-percent share for farms; a 1.4-percent share for processed food, beverage, and tobacco products; a 1.9-percent share for food service and drinking establishments; a 0.2-percent share of textiles and leather apparel; and a 0.2-percent share for forestry, fishing, and hunting.

Value Added by Industry as a Percentage of Gross Domestic Product
Release date January 23, 2014
Note on measuring Ag's contribution to GDP
A: USDA does not have an official estimate of the number of jobs associated with specific industries or sectors. Published U.S. Government data are available for direct farm employment and for employment in selected industries or sectors related to agriculture. The Bureau of Economic Analysis publishes data on the number of full- and part-time jobs for agricultural and related industry sectors. The table (below) shows the data for the last five years. These are defined as follows:
1Includes farm proprietor employment and hired labor
cIncludes: Forestry and Logging; fishing, hunting and trapping; agriculture and forestry support activities.

My Canon lenses have the designation USM on them, which I assume is for the same reason that they say "Ultrasonic". What does this mean, and why or why do I not want it?
USM - Ultrasonic motor (This is the Canon Terminology)
This is a big improvement over older micro-motor based autofocus systems, which are significantly slower and louder. There are two types of USM systems "Micro" and "Ring". The preferred type is "Ring Type" which always allows for manual focus without turning off auto-focus.
Benefits of Ultrasonic motors:
USM is a Canon trademark, so similar terms are used by other manufacturers. These other names include:
Ultrasonic Motor
You want it for a few reason:
You may NOT want it because:
Call me dumb but after few minutes of hard-thinking I still cannot come up with ANY other reason you may NOT want it. Making my answer almost identical to the previous one lol.
As many people have mentioned USM = Ultrasonic motor. Its a small motor built into the lens. This means that the camera will focus MUCH faster without making noise (or much noise). There are actually 2 kinds of USM, "Ring Ultrasonic" (good) and "Micromotor Ultrasonic" (not so good) see here. If you're interested in a more technical explanation form canon, see here.
Amazon shows a 50mm lens at $100 for the non USM and $300 for the USM. AFAIK its the same glass in in both, so you're paying for the quick and quite motor. Its also heavier.

My family moved here from Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2004. This is where the Pistons came from and where the d-league team, Mad Ants, now reside. Besides school, I play basketball and I am a boy scout. I like basketball because I like to play with my Dad and my friends. I plan on getting my sports merit badge where I can do both basketball and Boy Scouts at the same time. For the last two seasons, the name of my basketball team was the Pistons. I play year-round with the Walled Lake Education Center league.

Downtown Plan Annual Monitoring Report 2012
Staff Contact: Scott Edmondson, Planner, email@example.com.
Today, SF Planning published the Downtown Plan Annual Monitoring Report 2012. It summarizes business and development trends affecting downtown San Francisco as required by SF Administrative Code, Chapter 10E, and reviews data for 2012. It notes changes in the amount of commercial space, employment, housing production, parking supply, collection and use of fees and other revenues relative to the objectives of the Downtown Plan and mandated monitoring requirements.
In summary, the report found that Downtown San Francisco continued to be a resilient district for the City and the region in 2012, largely because of Downtown Plan polices. Adopted in 1985, these policies strengthened Downtown San Francisco's physical qualities as a vibrant place and enhanced its functioning as a regional center. The annual changes in Downtown land use are summarized in the first four pages of the report in the section entitled, "2012 Summary & InfoGraphic."
In addition, the report indicated that the downtown and citywide economy is recovering as evidenced by the rebound in development, declining vacancy rates, increasing rents, stabilizing employment, growing tax revenue and use fees, high transit use, and stable mode share. However, the addition of long term parking spaces, POPOS, and public art have temporarily slowed or stopped as a result of the lingering effects of the last economic downturn.
The report is available at this link: http://www.sf-planning.org/ftp/files/Citywide/Downtown_Annual_Report_2012.pdf.

What is Wheezing?
Wheezing in cats and dogs is most commonly associated with asthma. Wheezing associated with asthma may have different causes – allergies can also be the culprit (asthma can also occur in dogs but not as commonly as in cats). Several different problems can lead to sneezing and wheezing in cats.

Basically, the scenario goes like this. If I say or do something, I ask, will others react negatively? If the answer is likely yes, then I'd better ask myself if their reactions are going to cause more stress or work for me. And then, if the answer is yes again, I'd probably better take responsibility and act accordingly with my initial action.
That way I control the situation. That might make me a bit of a control freak or a micro-manager, but I can live with that. Either way, the world would be a better place if more people thought before they talked.
I was covering the boys Division I North Golf Championships at the Resort at Red Hawk earlier this month when one of those aforementioned kind of moments took place. A guy talked before he thought. Or then again, maybe he was just acting like a numbskull who doesn't understand you shouldn't sweat the small stuff.
Play at the first day of the regional golf tournament was suspended with most competitors having completed about two-thirds of their round. Heavy rains and a few flashes of lightning forced golfers to head back to the clubhouse to stay dry and avoid unsafe conditions with the electricity in the air, pun intended.
I went to the clubhouse during the suspension of play to stay informed on the plan of attack. As I pulled up, there was a Sparks PD police car with a stern-looking officer talking to a group and looking bit annoyed.
I remember thinking, 'that can't be good.' As it turns out, I was right.
Just before play was suspended, a golfer was crossing Wingfield Parkway between the third and fourth holes. This particular golfer was crossing with a group and was a step or two outside the white lines of the crosswalk. A driver, with nothing better to do, noticed the golfer straying a bit wide of the pack. The driver rolled down his window and yelled at the kid, something to the effect of 'get in the crosswalk.' There may have been a little more to it, but that was the message.
Apparently, the golfer proceeded to tell the driver he was No. 1, without using any words, just one finger. It probably wasn't the most appropriate reaction, but probably somewhat predictable given the driver chose to make a pretty big deal out of a mild case of jaywalking.
Then, the driver really over-reacted. He drove right over to the clubhouse, stormed into the office of Red Hawk PGA pro Chad Pettingill and demanded the exuberant golfer with a quick trick finger be removed from the tournament immediately.
Pettingill is a good guy with a good sense of humor. I'm sure part of him wanted to laugh. He told the driver he was not going to remove the golfer from the tournament. Why would he? Even if he thought that was a fair punishment, he wouldn't just suggest to tourney officials the golfer should be disqualified based on one guy's rant, not without corroboration.
Pettingill told the driver that he was overreacting and the kid would not be DQ'd. Apparently, the driver didn't like that answer. So he then made a bigger deal out of the situation and called Sparks police. Hence the SPD officer was forced to leave whatever he was doing, probably something much more productive and important, and cruise out to Red Hawk to interview the teen golfer and the driver with, presumably, a large stick up his backside.
Luckily, the driver didn't approach me making demands. I probably would've laughed at him. He's lucky the teen golfer only signified the proverbial bird sign and not told the driver what he really thought or where he really thought he should go. At 16 or 17 I might have.
Ultimately, the kid finished his round of golf, although I wonder how his nerves, and score, were affected the rest of the day. He was not punished, nor should he have been. He was probably scolded a bit by the police officer and asked to have a better response in the future.
But I wonder if the officer scolded the driver a bit. I heard this story recounted to me by several people from Pettingill on down to a couple golf coaches. Each time I wondered what kind of pristine life that driver led that he felt he needed to overreact the way he did.
Had he just said whatever to himself, after the golfer ranked him No. 1, drove home, kicked up his feet and enjoyed his favorite beverage, his evening would have been a lot less stressful. Shoot, had the driver not even said anything about the kid walking a little wide of the white lines and let that roll off his back, it would have been better for all involved.
I wouldn't be surprised if that driver carries an ulcer or two around. If he gets that fired up about a kid walking astray of the crosswalk and flipping him off, how does the guy respond when he faces real adversity in his life?
Let me be clear. The high school golfer should not have flipped the driver off, but his is not the biggest sin of the whole tirade. Sparks' finest have much bigger fish to fry than teenagers sharing their appreciation with hand gestures. The driver probably should've realized that long before he called the police.
After 16-plus years, I was beginning to think I'd just about seen it all around northern Nevada's high school sports scene. But that was a new one. I can't wait for what's next.

MARLBORO, VERMONT – Composer and multi-instrumentalist Elizabeth Brown will perform a program featuring traditional music for shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute) and dan bau (Vietnamese monochord) as well as her composition Vox Inhumanae on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Apple Tree Building at Marlboro College.
Brown will also talk about her experiences studying these two Asian instruments, including a residency last year at the Hanoi National Conservatory of Music, where she was a visiting artist through a grant from the Asian Cultural Council.
Brown's Vox Inhumanae, completed in 2003, is a series of instrumental monologues for three instruments with otherworldly vocal qualities. In addition to shakuhachi and dan bau, she will play theremin. The theremin was invented by Leon Theremin (1896-1993) in 1919 in Russia. An analog electronic instrument, it's played by interrupting radio waves with one's hands. The player appears to be playing the air. Popular in movie soundtracks in midcentury, the instrument gradually dissappeared from the music scene until a 1995 documentary of Theremin's life started a renaissance, inspiring a new generation of theremin players.
Brown was born in 1953 in Camden, Alabama, where she grew up on an agricultural research station. She received a Master's degree in flute performance from The Juilliard School, and started composing in her late 20's. Since then, her music has been heard around the world, with performances in Japan, the Soviet Union, Colombia, Australia and Vietnam as well as across the United States and Europe. She has given solo moonlight shakuhachi performances in Maine's Acadia National Park and in the sculpture quarry at the Lacoste School for the Arts in Provence. Orpheus, St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble, the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra, and Newband have all premiered her compositions. Brown has been a fellow at the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center in Italy and at the MacDowell Colony. A solo CD, Blue Minor: Chamber Music by Elizabeth Brown will be released later this season by Albany Records.

This event is free and open to the public.

Cyclones' Walz successfully defends backstroke title
By Rick Sheek
BRISTOL — The pressure finally got to Scout Walz, temporarily, but he regrouped in impressive fashion.
After not hearing the start of the Northeast Tennessee Swimming Regional Championships 500-yard freestyle, in which he was the defending winner, Walz was relegated to making a solo pass later for a runner-up finish. However, he bounced back successfully to defend his 100 backstroke title at Viking Hall.
"I've been stressing out about that 500 for like the last three days," Walz said on Saturday night. "Then messing up the start, where everyone went without me, that just kind of pushed me over. I didn't know what I was going to do.
"I was upset, but I wasn't going to let it hurt me in the backstroke."
