Before or after your hunt, make sure you check out the observation deck at the top of Conservation Hill, where there's a great view of the marsh, not to mention a wonderful place to watch a sunset. The road to the top of the hill goes right by the parking spot, so there's no possibility of missing it!
Parking for the hunt and the hill are at the following coordinates:
IMPORTANT NOTE...dogs are NOT allowed on this trail. Feel free to cross-country ski through it in the winter, but I'm not sure if bikes are allowed. Be prepared to walk! :) For any nighttime cachers, this trail/park also closes in the evening, so don't plan on any searching after dark.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: In the summer, make SURE you have bug repellent. This is a marsh and the bugs will eat you if you don't. Also, be aware that geese may be on the trail with babies. They don't like it when you approach them, so stay as far away as possible. When they start hissing and twitching their necks and running at you, they don't like you. And PLEASE don't feed them. Move slowly and walk around. Also be prepared for possible ticks.
I placed the following items into the cache. Nothing special, so hopefully you guys and gals will be able to find something more interesting for it!
-An M16 Machine Gun Keychain from a vending machine (in its original plastic bubble!!)
-A "Rubies of Eventide" YoYo
-A cheap, cereal box version of a Magic 8 Ball
-A bunch of pins I got at Movie Gallery (Horicon's video rental place) and Bethesda.
-And of course, a one dollar bill, registered on www.wheresgeorge.com
And, there's a Kodak disposable camera in there. Please take a picture of yourself, your group, or of something to represent your being there, and write something down in the log book. I'll upload the pictures after enough have been taken! Thanks!

ALEX BRUMMER: Bank of England's 'no change' decision steals Mark Carney's thunder
The build-up has been so intense that Mark Carney's appearance in the Commons was bound to be disappointing.
Anyone expecting Carney to tear up the Bank of England's inflation targeting mandate, or, for that matter, to announce a shake-up at the highest level on Threadneedle Street, will have been deeply disappointed.
Central bankers are, by nature, instinctively deeply conservative and tend to move policy at a snail's pace unless forced into radical changes by crisis.
New boss: Mark Carney will become Bank of England governor in July
The governor-elect's observation that the inflation target could be used flexibly to ensure other objectives, such as growth, are achieved is only a restatement of what, in fact, has been going on.
Indeed, even as Carney was delivering his own four hours of testimony, the interest rate setting Monetary Policy Committee was making its own little bit of history.
For the first time since February 2010 it chose to explain a 'no change' for monetary policy now, rather than wait for the Inflation Report next week.
The message was clear. The Bank expects the 'fan chart', its assessment of future inflation, to look rather nasty as a result of the recent fall in the pound on foreign exchanges and the rising cost of tuition fees and regulated utility prices.
The natural response of the markets to such a chart showing inflation above target would be to expect the MPC to start tightening policy.
That is not going to happen. In the current jargon the Bank intends to 'look through', or ignore, these exceptional factors driving prices up, and sit on its hands. This is especially so given its assessment that recovery will be muted.
The outcome may be welcome to some borrowers but less than happy news for most households who can expect the squeeze on real incomes to continue. Hardest hit will be savers who have seen returns savaged. In many ways the MPC and its soon-to-be-chair, Carney, are singing from the same song sheet. The main difference is that the newly confirmed governor, with matinee idol looks, may be less muffled in his messaging.
It has long been my belief that the Bank should pronounce on its 'no change' decisions.
Carney may be more inclined to do so than the ancien regime.
The Canadian does also promise to bring an important new dimension to the Bank's hugely enhanced regulatory role.
As the top Mountie at the Financial Stability Board, the G20 spin-off that co-ordinates responses to the financial crisis, Carney is in a great position to ensure that the approaches to making banks safer do not diverge too far.
He is a passionate supporter of the idea of resolution regimes that allow banks to fail without bringing the financial system tumbling down around them. He was clear in his testimony that the closer the country moved to the Vickers report – in the shape of both electrification of the ring-fence between retail and investment banking and higher liquidity ratios – the better.
But trying to superimpose the Volcker rule – which seeks to take proprietary trading away from the banks – would not work.
Thanks to his FSB role, he is better able to disentangle this and the EU's own approach in a way that does Britain less harm.
Some people might regard Carney's linkage of his five-year term as governor to his daughter's education as trivialising the post he is taking on.
After all, army officers and foreign office personnel working in dangerous parts of the world deal with such issues matter-of-factly with the help of expensive boarding.
But perhaps Carney is a modern man more in touch with his kinder and gentler side.
Strutting away
The all-female top executive echelon at Burberry has a male interloper with the choice of the excellent John Smith, former chief executive of BBC Worldwide, as chief-operating officer.
Moving off the scene in the shake-up is finance director Stacey Cartwright who, at a relatively young age, has enough millions in the bank from her Burberry options to strike out on her own or find a chief executive job elsewhere.
And should Angela Ahrendts decide, at some point, to hang up her trench coat, there is someone to take over the helm. After the staid BBC, Smith may need to smarten up his catwalk image.
Music stops
Farewell, then, to Parlophone, the proud record label once home to the Beatles and still the shelter for Coldplay, David Guetta and Pink Floyd. As a result of the European Commission inspired break-up of EMI, it is to be sold to oligarch Len Blavatnik's Warner Music.
French-owned Universal, which paid £1.2billion for EMI, will receive a generous £478million.
As for creative Britain, it is left with virtually no skin in the game of big, global distributed music.

Team effort lifts Fruita past Durango
There are times when Aiden Woomer makes spectacular plays look effortless.
He leads the Fruita Monument High School boys lacrosse team with 18 goals, and against Durango on Saturday, he added three to his total as the Wildcats downed Durango 11-3.
Woomer also added a season-high four assists. The junior team captain also excels in football and wrestling, and according to coach Mark Young, his athleticism has made him one of the most talented underclassman in the Mountain Lacrosse League. Battle Mountain's Cooper Perkins, with 23 goals, is the only MLL underclassman with more goals.
"Aiden is just a great athlete, period," Young said. "I'm privileged to have him on my team because he does make scoring look easier than it actually is. That kid practices hard every day, plays the game with full heart, and those things show during games. He's only a junior, so we get him for another whole year, too."
After Woomer notched his third goal, capping a 7-0 run to start the first half, the Wildcats (7-3, 7-2 MLL) rotated in younger players, testing different attacking combinations.
"We've got some players that have had to miss time," Young said. "We wanted to get some normal attackmen in the midfield and player some attackers that typically don't get as much playing time. We wanted to see how they would jell, and they played wonderfully today. We needed something to boost the confidence of our players after the losing streak and that was it. Our confidence is back."
Fruita started the season undefeated before suffering a three-game losing streak. After squeaking out a win against Eagle Valley, Fruita dominated Glenwood Springs and Durango (3-10, 3-10 MLL). The Wildcats have surrendered four goals in the past nine quarters, and have allowed only an average of two shots on goal per quarter in that span.
"Our defense has been playing fantastic," Young said. "Two things are going on right now. One, our defense has been hard to get through. I think Corey Henricksen is a fantastic goalie and has been playing great. Two, our offense has been keeping the ball on the other side of the field most of the time.
"Our defense can play amazing when they aren't being constantly pressured."
Fruita had a season-high 39 shots against Durango. Justin Young, Jack Deitel and Wyatt Allen each had two goals and Allen added two assists.
"My mentality is to get rid of the ball, whether it's in the net or to another player's stick," Woomer said. "We're a really talented team, but the only time our talent shows is when we play like a team. Sometimes we can get selfish, and that hurts our team and our season.
"It's eye-opening to get two big wins like this because it lets us know that we need to keep fighting for our record."
Grand Junction is up next for the Wildcats, Tuesday at Walker Field. The Wildcats defeated the Tigers 10-5 during their first matchup. It was only the third time Fruita beat Junction in the program's history.
"I feel like I've gotten my team back," Young said. "After that losing streak, our team and coaches were down. Today, I got Fruita lacrosse back, and that's what we need going up against Junction."

Inside Pulse Wrestling's WWE RAW Report – 05.16.2011: Over the Limit Shapes Up
Welcome to Inside Pulse Wrestling's live coverage of WWE Monday Night RAW!
We begin tonight's show with the WWE Champion, John Cena. He doesn't get to speak as Alex Riley comes out on the stage to show a video of the Miz owning John Cena throughout several weeks. Nice touch by the editing department, by the way. Riley introduces the Miz and the duo walk down the ramp. They enter the ring and Alex Riley continues spewing verbal diarrhea. John Cena retorts saying that Riley is as stupid as he is useless. Cena says that he chose the I Quit match because he can look into the Miz's eyes and see fear. He tells the Miz that after Over the Limit, he will be saying I'm the Miz and I Quit. The RAW GMail chimes in and he is giving the Miz the option of naming John Cena's opponent and match type tonight, as long as it does not involve either of them. The Miz isn't going to enlighten us as to what the choices are, but they will be awesome.
Kofi Kingston v. CM Punk (w/The Nexus)
The bell rings and we get a headlock to start. Kingston sends Punk to the ropes and he times a dropkick to Punk who rolls out of the ring. The Nexus advances and Punk eats a baseball slide. Back inside, Punk drops Kingston's neck on the ropes and he takes control. Cover gets two, so Punk works a chinlock. Kingston tries to fight out, but Punk gets a snapmare takedown for two. Punk takes to the ropes and he staggers a bit. This allows Kofi to get a high angle dropkick on the mark. Crossbody off the ropes gets two and Kingston gets into his control frenzy. Boom drop finds the mark and he looks for the Trouble in Paradise. Punk avoids it. GTS attempt countered to a schoolboy for two. Punk evades a corner attack and he connects with the GTS. Cover and pin.
Winner: CM Punk
Grade: C+
Punk has a microphone and he explains that this is leadership by example. He won't stop until each member of the Nexus is an unstoppable force.
The Miz talks to Dolph Ziggler and Vickie Guerrero.
Last week, Kharma does what she does best.
Kelly Kelly v. Brie Bella (w/Nikki Bella)
Bell rings and Brie takes control with an arm wringer. Kelly flips and twirls Brie before taking her down with a Thez Press. Brie regains control and Nikki earns her pay by snapping Kelly's neck on the rope. Brie misses a butt drop so she gets spanked a bit. Kelly sends Brie to the corner for the handspring elbow. Bulldog gets two. Brie gets tripped up and she gets pinned uniquely for the win.
Winner: Kelly Kelly
Grade: D
The Bellas double team Kelly Kelly and Kharma makes her appearance. This time, the Bellas stay inside the ring, thinking about taking her on. Kharma hits the ring and she heads towards Kelly Kelly, but the Bellas make a major mistake. Implant Buster on one of the Bellas…and boy that one had an extra bit of hurt added to it. Kharma then picks Kelly Kelly up by the face and she flicks her finger at her head.
Backstage, The Miz tries to talk to the Big Show.
That's What I Am is out tomorrow.
We recap R-Truth attacking Rey Mysterio from behind last week.
Rey Mysterio has a microphone and he wants to talk to R-Truth man to man. We wait for a bit and we take a break.
We're back and R-Truth doesn't come out, so we are treated to Alberto del Rio. He tells Rey that he doesn't deserve to be on the same show as him. There's a referee in the ring as del Rio enters and he continues to talk about how great he is. Mysterio decides that since R-Truth is scared, he'll shut del Rio up instead.
Rey Mysterio v. Alberto del Rio
Mysterio takes it to Del Rio from the start. Del Rio overpowers Mysterio in the corner. Single arm DDT from the top and Mysterio is favoring his right arm. Baseball slide to the arm and Mysterio is forced out of the ring.
We are back and Mysterio is still favoring the arm. He makes a comeback, but the arm keeps Mysterio from getting his full offense in. Kick to the arm gets two for Del Rio. He continues working on the arm before stomping on it. He covers for two and continues to work the arm. Mysterio tries a hurrancuarana, but del Rio blocks it and he hits a shining wizard that catches the arm. That gets a two count. Mysterio attacks from the ground, but del Rio dropkicks Mysterio to stop that. He goes back to the arm and Mysterio finds a counter. Mysterio gets a kick in and he lets del Rio take himself out of the ring.
R-Truth is in the skybox complaining about Rey Mysterio stealing his spot. Del Rio recovers, but Mysterio keeps on the pressure. Mysterio with the seated senton and he sends Del Rio to the ropes. Ricardo stops the 619 and the bell is called. Del Rio drops the leg over Rey's prone body and he attempts the cross-arm breaker only for the referee to stop it from happening. R-Truth makes his way from the skybox to the ring and he assaults Mysterio. Downward Spiral sends Rey down for the count. Truth grabs a microphone and he tells Rey that no one challenges the Truth; that he makes the challenges. It's on at Over the Limit this Sunday. Truth v. Mysterio!
Winner via DQ: Rey Mysterio
Grade: C
Backstage, CM Punk discusses matters with The Miz. Who will face John Cena tonight?
Contract Signing for Lawler/Cole III
Michael Cole wants Jerry Lawler to repeat what he said last week. Jerry Lawler vows that if Michael Cole beats him again he will win the Hall of Fame ring and he will induct him in the WWE Hall of Fame. Both men sign and Michael Cole makes it known that there was a stipulation added to the match. The stipulation being a "Kiss My Foot" match. Seems that Lawler had a history in kissing feet, so we go back down memory lane. Lawler finally tells Michael Cole to shut up. He tells Cole that he respects Swagger for being a World Champion to which Michael Cole buries him saying that no one remembers when he won the title, so Jack Swagger leaves Michael Cole in distress. Now Michael Cole turns around and he tries to kiss some more ass. Lawler isn't buying it. He grabs onto Cole's tie and promises to stick his foot in his mouth and close it. He flips the table over and Michael Cole is crying like a baby.
The Miz talks to Kane and he and the Big Show leave him talking.
The Tag Titles are on the line at Over the Limit as Big Show & Kane defend against CM Punk & Mason Ryan.
Big Show & Kane v. David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty (w/ CM Punk & Mason Ryan)
Kane overpowers McGillicutty from the get go. Low dropkick connects and that gets two. Tag to Big Show and he slaps McGillicutty hard a couple times. Big Show runs into a big boot, but that hardly does anything. McGillitty finds an opening with the leg and Otunga tags in to dropkick the leg. Cover and one, but Otunga keeps on the offense. Tag back to McGillicutty and he covers for two. Quick tags back and forth and Big Show is writhing in pain. Big Show uses his other foot to extend over McGillicutty's chin. Tag to Otunga and he torques the leg. Otunga walks into a chokeslam. Headlock applied, but Big Show powers out. Kane gets tagged in and he overpowers McGillicutty. Clothesline off the top and Otunga looks to get involved, but he eats a big boot. Spear by Big Show causes a distraction and Punk scores a kick to the back of Kane's head. Neckbreaker by McGillicutty ends this.
Winners: The Nexus
Grade: C
The Miz talks to R-Truth.
Scott is with Kane and Big Show talking about Sunday. They talk about how Sunday they will annihiliate the Nexus.
John Cena walks and Zack Ryder gets another cameo shot in, handing Cena a shirt.
WWE Rewind: John Cena owns Alex Riley last week.
The Miz comes out and announces that the following match is a No Holds Barred Match. Cena comes out and Jack Swagger attacks ahead of the bell.
No Holds Barred: John Cena v. Jack Swagger
Bell officially rings and Swagger takes it to Cena in the corner. Swagger goes for the anklelock, but Cena fires back. Pillar to post we go and Swagger retains control. Michael Cole says that Jack Swagger wouldn't be anything without him. Whatever. Cena gets sent to the corner and Cena gets back up. Suplex by Swagger. Swagger bomb connects and it's time for a break.
We're back and Cena is still in trouble. The fight goes back on the outside and Swagger sends Cena into the exposed railing. Back in the ring we get a cover, but just a two count. Chairshot to the back gets two. Swagger lays the chair on Cena and he hits the Swagger Bomb on it. It looked like Cena pushed the chair up and Swagger no-sold it. HERE COMES CENA! Swagger counters a shoulderblock into a spinebuster. Anklelock applied and Cena flips Swagger over. Swagger charges and he eats steel chair in the corner. HERE COMES CENA AGAIN! Protobomb connects and we get Five Knuckle Shuffle. A.A. try and it connects. STF is locked in and Swagger taps out. Standard Super-Cena match.
Winner: John Cena
Grade: C+
The Miz isn't impressed, by the tone of his voice. The Miz promises to utilize one of the many ways to make John Cena say I Quit. The Miz makes reference in being smarter than John Cena and that he will be sick and twisted Sunday. The Miz proves the pipe being fake by swinging hard and connecting on Cena. Either that or Cena proves that you can be hit hard by a pipe and not suffer a broken bone. Cena goes wild on Miz and Riley and he tells Miz to bring his game.
Show over.

this one is a close call, but I would tend to agree with you since there are only 1/3 words in the name in common and "alchemy" is somewhat generic given the goods involved (although that last point is debatable)
There are alot of businesses who also use the word alchemy, though they are not candlemakers. This seems to me to support the idea that alchemy is also generic enough for me to also use, as it is a word used ubiquitously in the craft. Would you agree, given the fact that there are other registered trademarks using the word alchemy?
You may want to see what the USPTO thinks and if they allow it then that shoudl give you more confidence that there would be no legal problems (but the fact that the PTO grants your TM does NOT mean you are legally "cleared" to use it...I know it doen't seem to make sense, but TMs can be found invalid due to being confusingly similar to other TMs)
Yes, if the reality is that "alchemy" is a commonly used term in the business then that helps you
How would I find out what the USPTO thinks?
If the other candlemaker user wanted to stop me from using my business name, and sent me a cease and desist letter, what would be the chances that this other business would succeed in a legal conflict, given the generic-ness of the word alchemy?
I meant by submitting your TM application, which is examined by the PTO
Ok, on the first question.
This other candlemaker started using the word alchemy in her business name after i did. We both sell on Etsy.
but she has applied for a TM first.
They would have a hard time showing consumer confusion if that term is common, esp. given the 2 other words that are different
She hates me and slanders me on her FB business page all the time.
and the word "Alchemy" alone would be hard for them to have exclusive rights to given what you have said about the commonality of the word
I am worried that she might try to bully me.
She tried to claim she had the sole legal right to make and sell black drippy candles.
The best solution of course, to save all this hassle, would be to drop the "alchemy" from the name...but I understand that you wnat to use it
I'm known by this name.
I see
I think you have a decent position
She sent me a "cease and desist" letter to stop making black drippy candles. Of course, I ignored it. You clearly can't trademark black drippy candles, even a layperson like me knows that.
She is trying to destroy my business.
Because I am her top competitor on Etsy.
So, if she sends me a cease and desist letter on my business name, you think I am in a position to defend my name?
and can safely ignore it should she do that?
as I did with the black drippoy candle attempt?
This woman has gone to some incredible lengths to destroy my business and intimidate me - she inflames her FB readers to send me feces through the mail - this is the kinds of things she does.
I could probably prove through Etsy records (hopefully) that I actually started using the word alchemy first.
wow, well yes I think you can ignore her because if she really wants to take it to the next level, she will have to hire attorney to write you letters and/or sue you....which means spending money, and most people will not do that unless they think they have a real case
and then she tried to claim, I "stole" it from her
any evidence of you use, esp. prior use, will be very important
do you think she has a real case?
I don't, but I'm not a legal expert
thank you
she also tries to claim that I am causing confusion in the market
also, you should document and keep records of all the harassment, if she tries to push harder, you can threaten to sue (or actually) sue for her interference with your business etc.
best of luck!
slander/defamation etc.
by selling candles and using the standard kinds of packaging available in the marketplace to sellers of products I sell
I mean, let's be real, there's only so many things a person can do with candles
i agree
Ok, so to to make sure I understand - you think I have a pretty good chance of obtaining my TM for my business name and that I have pretty sound case for depfending my business name should this woman try to hassle me?
that's right
great, thank you for your help

Cracking the U.S. News & World Report's top 30, UC Davis School of Law moved up to 28th in the magazine's latest ranking of almost 200 American Bar Association-approved law schools, confirming UC Davis' high and rapidly rising status among the nation's very best law schools.
The rankings appear in the 2011 edition of "America's Best Graduate Schools," on newsstands this week.
The U.S. News & World Report ranking of law schools is based on a complex formula that weighs, among other factors, surveys of law school deans, faculty, lawyers, and judges, averages of student scores on the Law School Admission Test, median undergraduate grade point averages, percentage of applicants accepted, employment and bar passage rates, and student/faculty ratios. Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and USC were the other California law schools in the U.S. News top 30.

"The rand isn't alone in this," said Paul Lambert, head of currencies at Insight, a Bank of New York Mellon Corp. unit, in London, which manages more than $582 billion in assets. "The rand is another reflection of the change in the liquidity environment in which we're all operating. We're learning that unless there are clients on the other side, banks are very unwilling to take risk onto their books."
Volatility in the rand versus the dollar surged to the highest level in four years, while a measure of global currency price swings followed suit, climbing to the highest since October. The gap between prices at which traders were willing to buy and sell the rand, used as a gauge of liquidity, was more than 1.5 times wider on average in the past six months than it was over the first half of 2015.
As regulation pushes banks to reduce their size and cut down on market making activities, the ability to trade without having prices move against you is becoming more difficult. A reduction in liquidity has contributed to similar price swings in fixed-income securities in recent years, including the $13 trillion U.S. government bond market.
Unusual bursts of volatility in currency markets and meager liquidity are another affliction for troubled emerging economies such as South Africa, which seek to secure overseas investments amid slowing growth, a rout in commodity prices and domestic political challenges. Securing international trade and capital inflows is made harder by the currency turmoil as investors and banks become less willing to take on additional risk.
"You need to have a portfolio that is as diversified as you can make it, with not too much risk in any one position," Lambert said.
Early trading
The lack of investors trading the rand in early Asian market hours on Monday combined with reduced interest in South African assets amid uncertainty about the country's financial and fiscal policies may have contributed to the rand's abrupt price swings.
"That is why emerging market currencies need to be risk managed differently," said Richard Benson, a money manager at currency hedge fund Millennium Global Investments Ltd. in London. "I avoid having positions in the highly illiquid currencies."
The currency deepened its decline as Japanese retail investors unwound their bets that the rand will gain versus the yen, which was a popular strategy known as carry trade, said Gareth Berry, a strategist at Macquarie in Singapore.
"Similar to the rand, a lot of long positions are built up by Japan's individual investors in the Turkish Lira, which could be next victim of unwinding amid concerns over political instability in Middle East," said Masakazu Satou, currency adviser at Gaitame Online Co., retail foreign-exchange brokerage in Tokyo. The Brazilian real is also among other higher-yielding currencies with similar long positions, he said.
The rand extended declines on Tuesday, falling 0.5 percent to 16.8608 per dollar as of 11:48 a.m. in Tokyo.
Ministerial appointments
South Africa's central bank doesn't target a level for the rand and has said that it won't intervene to support the currency. The latest selloff in the rand surpasses a slump that pushed it to record low in December after President Jacob Zuma shocked investors by abruptly firing his finance minister, Nhlanhla Nene, and replacing him with a little-known lawmaker. Four days later he rescinded, reappointing Pravin Gordhan, who had held the post between 2009 and 2014.
'Very difficult'
"It's going to be very difficult to stabilize dollar-rand at current levels," said Luis Costa, the head of fixed income and currency strategy for central and eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Citigroup Inc. in London. "This is the medium-term story. The economy hasn't found yet new equilibrium level. South Africa struggles with important structural issues. That puts the rand on a huge backfoot."
Spikes in currency trading have befallen markets over the past year. A year ago, the Swiss franc surged almost 30 percent after the central bank abandoned its currency floor against the euro. Banks including Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays Plc lost hundreds of millions amid the volatility and some retail brokers were forced to shut down amid client losses.
More recently, New Zealand's dollar fell 3 U.S. cents over 10 minutes in late August, before rebounding. The kiwi's average daily range since 2000 is less than a cent.
"This is enormous volatility and as a real-money investor, you really have to keep your feet out of these kind of markets because that's just too much volatility with no obvious reason," said Christoph Kind, head of asset allocation at Frankfurt Trust, which manages about $20 billion. "It's really tough. I completely cut down my rand positions and I have no exposure there anymore."

A new tech business with innovative ideas will soon open its doors on Market Square.
Arizona-based company Local Motors plans to open its downtown storefront May 28.
The company will also soon build a microfactory in town where workers will put together cars that contain everything from electric motors to parts produced from 3-D printers.
More Information: Local Motors Official Website
"We chose Knoxville as our next location because we're looking for places that are at the forefront of innovation," said Local Motors CEO and Founder Jay Rogers.
The company also has a partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The two parties are working together to 3-D print an entire car at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility in Hardin Valley.
More Information: Knoxville Oak Ridge Innovation Valley Official Website
"Our partnership with ORNL is one that is made to be able to bring technology to market fast," Rogers said.
The Knoxville Chamber hopes the partnership could benefit the entire area by showing other tech businesses East Tennessee is friendly to the industry.
"We call ourselves the Knoxville-Oak Ridge innovation Valley," said Doug Lawyer, the vice-president of economic development for the Knoxville Chamber. "That's kind of the brand we have for regional economic development and a company like Local Motors coming here just really helps to validate that brand."
And, ORNL says it has no problem helping other businesses find success here in the region.
"We're paid by the American taxpayers," said Craig Blue, director of the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility. "So, if we can help United States companies get a competitive edge, ultimately, there's huge returns not only for us, but the country."

The Regional Minister (left) and his Deputy addressing journalists
The Mayor of Sekondi-Takoradi, Capt (Rtd) Anthony Cudjoe, has refunded the $1,400.00 which was given to him by the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA) in connection with his 13 days attempted trip to Colombia for the 7 th World Urban Forum held from 5 to 11 April, this year.
The Sekondi-Takoradi MCE refunded $1,000.00 out of the money to the Metropolitan Finance Officer on April 15, 2014 and paid back the difference on May 7, 2014.
He refunded the money to the assembly's account number 1000700221901 as was shown on a receipt number AB 0764375 dated May 19, 2014 and indicated on an advice slip of National Investment Bank Limited, Takoradi.
This was contained in a committee report on allegations of misconduct against the mayor on an abortive trip to the World Urban Forum in Columbia.
It would be recalled that the May 6, 2014 edition of the Chronicle newspaper published a story to the effect that the Sekondi-Takoradi mayor had swindled the assembly to the tune of GH¢30,000.00 meant for a trip to Colombia, but was cooling it off in Tema.
A three-member committee was therefore set up by the Western Regional Minister, Paul Evans Aidoo, to investigate the case and to establish the truth of the matter.
The committee, which was chaired by the Deputy Regional Minister, Alfred Ekow Gyan, had finished its work and presented its report to the Regional Minister.
Briefing journalists on the findings of the committee, Mr. Paul Evans Aidoo maintained that the trip to Colombia was official.
He explained that it was initiated by the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development per letter number SCR/EA 235/60/105/01 and dated 7 February, 2014.
He added that the protocol officer at the Ministry of Local Government made a reservation at a Travel and Tour Company called Faith Executive Travel, at Kokomlemle in Accra and that the flight was supposed to arrive at the Madrid Terminal in Spain on April 2 at 1455 hours.
The Amount Given
According to the committee's findings, an amount of GH₵6,672.00 was paid by the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly to the travel and tour company in respect of the mayor's trip.
The Regional Minister indicated that Capt Cudjoe also received a per diem of $1,400.00 (equivalent to GH¢3,930.00) for the 13 days trip as was shown in the payment voucher with the number CM/3656/14.
Trip Aborted
The Regional Minister added that on April 2, 2014 while in Accra preparing for departure, the mayor was beckoned by the Protocol Officer of the Local Government Ministry that a transit visa would be required.
'Capt. Cudjoe therefore went to verify from the officer in-charge at the Ministry – one Mrs Levina Owusu – who confirmed that it was true thereby rendering the initial travel arrangements untenable', he stated.
He indicated that on April 3, 2014 on-line booking was done for a US visa for the mayor and Capt (Rtd) Cudjoe was invited for an interview on April 7, 2014.
Paul Evans Aidoo added that the mayor was supposed to be given the American visa on April 9, 2014, but unfortunately, the embassy could not finish the mayor's documentation as expected; and so Capt (Rtd) Cudjoe finally received his transit visa to America on April 11, at a11:30 am.
He noted that Capt Cudjoe did not make the trip due to the frustrations leading to the late acquisition of the transit visa and therefore (Aidoo) deemed it inexpedient to embark on the journey.
Breakdown Of Expenditure
The Regional Minister said the committee established that the cost of ticket purchased from Faith Executive Travel was GH¢6,672.00 and the per diem for the trip was $1,400.00.
'Therefore the total expenditure on Capt (Rtd) Cudjoe was GH¢10,592.00', the minister stressed.
The Committee averred that the publication by the Chronicle was false since the total expenditure on the retired Captain's abortive trip was GH¢10,592.00 and not GH¢30,000.00 as was stated by the newspaper.

The Lawrenceville, Ga. developer of the proposed FF-1080-200 Freight Feeder reports being close to an announcement regarding an agreement with freight company Averitt Express of Cookeville, Tenn. The two companies had signed a memorandum of understanding last June concerning a "capacity services agreement" under which American Utilicraft would provide, on a wholesale basis, airborne revenue capacity to Averitt for five years and would include the use of 25 FF-1080 aircraft. Averitt Express planned to resell the capacity on a retail basis through its sales force to existing customers and to the global air-freight forwarding community. At that time, the companies anticipated completing the agreement in two months and having the first airplanes in service by the fourth quarter of 2004.
Jim Carey, American Utilicraft vice president, told AIN that negotiations are ongoing and that AUC's new strategy is to acquire "interim lift for a long-term 1080 commitment," explaining that the company is looking to buy a current Part 121 cargo operator. He said the company has sufficient financial resources "for its current strategy," but continues to seek additional financing. Listed on the Pink Sheet Exchange since last June, the company's stock was selling for about one dollar per share last month. At its initial public offering in May 2001 the stock sold for about $6.

Say this about the Rays: For a team that has had so little to say over the past decade, they usually have known how to say hello.
Over the history of the Rays, there has been one night when you could count on the team to look interesting. For one night, they have been an attraction. For one night, they have looked like a ballclub.
And here's the fun part:
Tonight's the night.
Yep, for a decade, the Rays have known how to open the store. It is only afterward that the business has gone to the devil.
Ah, but home openers? That has usually been the one night you could count on for baseball in Tampa Bay to be what everyone envisioned it to be all of those Ben Grieves ago. Historically, the home opener has been the day the Rays most often looked like a big-league club. Historically, the home opener has been the one day Tropicana Field most often felt like a big-league stadium. More than any other game, it is the day when baseball most seems to matter.
Welcome to the Grand Re-Opening.
This time, maybe the Rays can make the feeling last.
In other towns, with other teams, a home opener — particularly one that comes in the second week of a season — is largely symbolic. It is a time to ponder the promise of spring and the potential of a team. It is a day of tradition and of nostalgia, of unbroken promises and undelivered bills. In some places, it is the first page of a great novel that will only get better.
Around here, however, baseball has been a one-night stand that never quite developed into a lasting relationship.
In home openers, for instance, the Rays have been a plucky little ballclub. They have won five of their past seven (after losing their first three). Included are ninth-inning comebacks to beat the Red Sox and Blue Jays.
In home openers, the Rays have captured the interest of their community. Consider this: Over the past 10 years, the Rays have drawn an average of 17,441 fans to their games. For home openers, however, that number spikes to 38,666. They have sold out four of their 10 home openers. They have also sold out four of their other 800 home games.
So why do they come? Because it's baseball.
So why don't they come back? Because it hasn't been very good baseball.
Perhaps this is the difference to the 2008 Rays. After all these years, they bear the mark of a team that will spend the next several seasons climbing the standings. Perhaps this stranger called optimism is right when he says this year will be the start of something interesting.
Yes, it is about time. For the lifetime of a franchise, Tampa Bay baseball followers, resilient souls that they are, have searched to find a reason to believe that one year would be different from the one before. The new players? The new manager? The new owner? Something? Anything?
And so they watched Wilson Alvarez throw wide in Year One, and they squinted through the smoke of a botched fireworks show as Randy Winn dropped a fly ball in Year Two, and they watched the Hit Show swing and miss in Year Three. We watched through Juan Guzman and Dewon Brazelton and Seth McClung, through Mike Kelly and Vinny Castilla and Josh Phelps, through overpriced hitters and cheap pitchers and free parking. Despite it all, the home opener usually has been a lot of fun; it just didn't last.
So, yeah, this feels different.
Praise be, it feels better.
That's part of the ritual of a home opener, too, isn't it? It is a test of an organization's formula, and it is a test of the fans' faith. Opening day is a promise that this team will still be opening when a season closes, too.
All of which leads us to tonight, when the Rays — New colors! New nickname! A chance to talk about a new stadium! — take to the Trop for the first time to show everyone just how improved they are.
Certainly, people seem to believe. Couple the higher expectations with a couple of memorable victories on the road, and there has never been so much reason for optimism for a Rays' home opener.
No, this team isn't a playoff contender. But yes, it's better. It's good enough to win 78 or 79 games. It's good enough to climb out of the cellar. It's good enough to make you think next year will be better, and the year after will be better than that.
For a change, the Rays are good enough to watch more than once.
For openers, that's a good place to start.

Need Help With Covering A Cake With Fondant
Decorating By Tiffo314 Updated 6 Mar 2012 , 5:10am by Tiffo314
Whats the best frosting to use when you want to cover a cake with fondant and have it stick and look tight and not sloppy?
Ive tried with buttercream but it was kind of not steady I'm thinking maybe I put too much but I'm just wondering if there's a better frosting to use
I always use BC and it usually doesn't give me problems. The trick is to let it firm up before you cover it. Try sticking it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes and take it out right before you cover it.
Sometimes having too much frosting on is the problem. I use a crusting butter cream. 1 cup butter, 1 cup shortening, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 lbs powdered sugar and 4 TBS 2% milk.
Also, after I have frosted it (maybe an 1/8 of an inch thick- no thicker really) I put my cake in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This makes the butter in the frosting harden up and gives the cake the firmness you need to put on your fondant.
After you remove it from the freezer, brush on a little piping gel, to get it tacky (after being in the freezer it will be dry and the fondant will not stick). Then roll out fondant and apply.
There are lots of good videos on You Tube to watch as well to see technique of putting it on. Hope that helps!
A thin layer of BC, then fridging it until buttercream is firm ..... this really helps! You can also very lightly mist the cake with clear vanilla to help the fondant stick, I have found that trick to work well (but it may or may not be the "right" way, lol!).
Do you have fondant smoothers? Works much better than hands for a finished look. Don't over smooth or push too hard though.
Check out some youtube videos and see what method works best for you!
Thank you everyone these tips were very helpful I am making a birthday cake tomorrow for my daughter and I want to use fondant but I want it to come out just right, and I do have a fondant smoother
I will use these tips and hopefully everything comes out good
thank you very much

This trip is ideal for those who have just 4 days and have an interest in the cultural heritage of Vietnam. It begins in Hue, the old Imperial City, which served as Vietnam's capital under the emperors of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802 to 1945. You will drive on scenic highway N1 from Hue to Hoi An via Danang, one of Vietnam's major international sea ports. This trip finishes in the picturesque town of Hoi An, once one of Southeast Asia's major trading ports between the 17th and 19th centuries.
Brief itinerary:
Day 1: Hue Arrival
Day 2: Hue – Danang - Hoi An
Day 3: Hoi An - My Son
Day 4: Hoi An - Danang departure
Day 1: Hue Arrival (-/-/D).
You will be welcomed at Phu Bai airport and transferred to your hotel in Hue for check in. Located in Central Vietnam, Hue was the former capital of the last Dynasty of Vietnam and has an elegant setting on the banks of the Huong Giang or Perfume River surrounded by lush green hills known for the magnificent architecture of its citadels, palaces, royal tombs, pagodas and temples built under the Nguyen dynasty. The city has preserved its cultural heritage including music, the arts and many other traditions and is probably the best place in Vietnam to get a sense of the past and imperial court life. Explore the Imperial City of Hue. The first stop is the Hue Citadel. The Hue Citadel is situated on the Northern bank of the Perfume River and built by Emperor Gia Long it was designed for the exclusive use of the Emperor and his household. The Citadel is a square 2 km wall encompassing 3 walled enclosures; the Citadel, Kinh Thanh Hue, the Yellow Imperial city, Hoang Thanh and in the centre the Forbidden Purple city Tu Cam Thanh where the Emperor lived. The Hue royal complex has been officially recognized by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Overnight in Hue.
Day 2: Hue – Danang - Hoi An (B/L/D).
Breakfast at the hotel. Enjoy a scenic boat trip on the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda with a 21-metre-high octagonal tower regarded as the symbol of Hue. Continue your tour with a visit to Tu Duc Royal Tomb, considered to be one of the three most beautiful mausoleums around Hue. The emperor Tu Duc held the longest reign during the Nguyen Dynast and his tomb is situated on Van Nien Hill, 5 km outside of Hue. His corps however is not resting inside the tomb and to this day, no one knows the actual burial site. After the emperor's death, his remains were taken to a secret location and the 200 servants who had buried Tu Duc were beheaded to ensure that Tu Duc's final resting place remained a secret. Tu Duc's biography was engraved in stone by the emperor himself. The tablet is housed in the Stele Pavilion. The Stele weighs 22 tons and is the largest in Vietnam. Then visit Khai Dinh Royal Tomb, located in Chau Chu mountain near Hue in Vietnam. It was built for the Nguyễn Emperor Khải Định. It was built from 1920 to 1931 taking 11 years to complete. The tomb is a blend of Western and Eastern architecture. Though the smallest, Khai Dinh tomb is the most costly and recent compared with other Nguyen royal tombs.
In the afternoon, transfer to Danang (110 km) with a stop-over on the Hai Van Pass overlooking the scenic Lang Co lagoon. In Danang, visit the Cham Museum, which houses the finest collection of Champa sculptures; some may date back to as early as 7th century. En route visit Marble Mountain, a scenic spot with caves, temples, shrines, pagodas and a great view of the surrounding area. The caves can be reached by climbing steep steps. Proceed to Hoi An Ancient Town Known to early Western merchants, Hoi An was one of the major trading centres of Southeast Asia in the 16th century. Hoi An has a mixed Chinese-Vietnamese atmosphere with low, tile-roof houses and narrow streets. Having been through many ups and downs in the past, the original structures, however, are still virtually intact. That was the reason to persuade the UNESCO to recognize Hoi An as a World Heritage in 1999. Overnight in Hoi An.
Day 3: Hoi An - My Son (B/L/D).
You will be picked up from your hotel at around 8 to 8:30 am then drive to My Son Holy Land. My Son is the former capital of the ancient Cham civilization that ruled Central Vietnam from the second to the thirteenth century. Their religion was primarily derived from Indian Hinduism. My Son is considered to be one of the best-preserved Cham structures in Vietnam. The complex is comprised of seventy Hindu-like towers and temples dating from the second century. This site is a must-see for those people who are interested in architecture and ancient civilizations and is now one of five UNESCO World Heritage sites in Vietnam. You will go back to Hoi An for lunch.
In the afternoon you'll discover Hoi An, a quaint riverside town, popular with tourists for its eclectic architecture, tailor shops, and numerous cafes. Some of the buildings in the narrow streets have remained unchanged for more than a century. You will enjoy a half-day walking tour through the narrow winding streets of the Ancient Quarter visiting Chua Ong Pagoda, the Chinese Assembly Halls, the 200 year old Tam Ky ancestral house, and the Japanese Bridge. You can also enjoy the resort facilities, spending you time at sea, shopping or getting some fast services tailor made clothes. Overnight in Hoi An.

Breastfeeding: It takes a village!
Written by guest blogger, Jennifer Pitkin, IBCLC
Like most things in life, the road to breastfeeding success is less bumpy and more enjoyable when you have a good supporting cast riding along with you. Questions are certain to arise: Is my baby latching correctly? Is he getting enough to eat? Why is she so fussy today? What are we going to have for dinner? and/or Why am I so exhausted?

The Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance, known widely as the 'Trappists', came to Beagle Bay in Western Australia in 1895 to establish a mission. There mission was transferred to the Pallottines by 1901. A Cistercian Abbey continues in Victoria, Australia.
The Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance was founded on the rule of St Benedict in France in 1098.
The parish priest at Broome from 1895, Father Nicholas Maria Emo, was a Trappist.
Daisy Bates' (1863-1951) account of Aboriginal people in Western Australia over a period of 35 years includes an account of the Trappists in the Broome district.
Bates was an anthropologist, journalist, recorder of indigenous culture, and activist for indigenous rights, and her written accounts of indigenous life and culture were widely read during her lifetime.

Songs Of The Colorado
Posted November 2, 2011 by Chris Clarke.
Songs of the Colorado tells the story of the traditional songs of the Yuman-speaking people and how those songs connect them, through story, language and history.
At least 10 Indigenous Peoples along the Colorado River speak the Yuman language, including the Cucapa, Havasupai, Quechan and Yapavai. It is believed to be one of the oldest languages on the continent.
Unfortunately, because younger generations are not learning the language and Elders who do speak it are slowly passing away, the language is at risk of being lost—And with it, the unique songs and stories of all Yuman-speaking people.
Knowing this and hoping to spark an interest in reviving the language, Quechan filmmaker Daniel Golding set out to document Yuman songs, with grant funding obtained by Quechan Elder and Lead Singer Preston Arrow-Weed.
"The songs are all sung in the language, so if you're not learning and picking up the language, then you won't be able to understand the songs," Golding said, in a recent interview with the Yuma Sun. "You could sing them phonetically, but there are actually words telling stories…"
Some of those stories take an entire night to tell. Known as song cycles, a Lead Singer like Arrow-Weed will begin performing when the sun sets and continue through the night, until the sun rises the following day. Some song cycles have as many as 300 songs that have to be performed in a particular order. Lead Singers dedicate their lives to learning each and every song.
Songs of the Colorado features interviews and performances from Arrow-Weed, Quechan Elder Vernon Smith, and Dale Phillips, vice chairman of the Cocopah and others.
The documentary was also witness to a rare gathering on the Quechan Reservation. Lead Singers from around the Colorado came together to talk about common issues like the loss of language and the effect it's having on learning their songs.
"We shot there for two days and had singers from the different places come up and meet there and share some of their knowledge," Golding said. "Toward the afternoon, it was cultural sharing, so each member was able to get up and perform for a little while and share some of their songs. That was nice because I'm not sure if some of the people here realize we're related to some of the tribes down in Mexico."
Songs of the Colorado premiered at the Quechan Community Center in California, USA, on December 11, 2010.

Three years have passed since with great sadness we moved from Lodi to Pittsburgh, Pa. Rarely has a day gone by when some comparison isn't made between the two cities' quality of life. What it boils down to is that east versus west represents the great trade-off. The weather is better in California but the quality of life is superior in Pennsylvania.
When it comes to evaluating which state has played a greater role in our nation's 235 year saga, Pennsylvania is the site of perhaps the four greatest moments in American history: George Washington crossing the Delaware River, Valley Forge, Gettysburg and the Declaration of Independence signing.
Unfortunately, according to the Department of Education's recent press release, Americans know little about those significant events. Only 12 percent of high school seniors demonstrated "a solid grasp" of history, the weakest showing of any academic category.
Let's see if we can use this long Independence Day weekend to get straight a few simple dates about the Declaration of Independence.
One of the most widely held misconceptions about the Declaration of Independence is that it was signed on July 4, 1776. But it was on July 2, 1776 that the Second Continental Congress approved the resolution from Virginia's Richard Henry Lee that "these colonies are and of right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are absolved of all allegiance to the British Crown and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved."
This shocking proclamation that announced the United States' formal, legal separation from Britain led future president-to-be John Adams to predict that July 2 would forever be the day that would be "solemnized with Pomp and Parade with shows, games, sports, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this Continent to the other ... ."
That, as we now know, is not what happened. After two days of editing, the Continental Congress approved the final wording of Declaration of Independence. And the Fourth became the date posted on the formal document eventually signed in August and that is now displayed in the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
To the chagrin of the Founding Fathers, as years passed America didn't celebrate the Declaration of Independence on either the Second or the Fourth. Frustrated by the evolving nation's lack of interest in its short but dramatic history, in 1817 Adams issued a letter encouraging more public involvement on significant dates. Printed copies of the Declaration again began to circulate among citizens with July 4 prominently displayed at the top of the page. Then, in 1826, when both Adams and Thomas Jefferson died within hours of each other on July 4, Americans once again focused on that date.
Gradually, Fourth of July celebrations became more common until in 1870 Congress passed legislation that made it and other significant dates like Christmas national holidays. Nearly 100 years passed since the Declaration was signed and it was formally recognized as worthy of national celebration.
Through a coincidence of the 2011 calendar, this year Americans will celebrate Independence Day on the Second and the Fourth.

Everyone asks: why do Australians pay more for the same flights?
Why do airlines charge more for a return ticket from Australia to Europe than for a return ticket in the other direction?
Nine times out of ten, an Australian traveller heading for Europe will pay more for their return ticket than a European travelling in the opposite direction, even when they are travelling at the same season.
It's maddening, unfair, unjustified and a downright ripoff, and there is no reason for it. The airlines gouge us because they can.
Australians also pay more for Apple products, clothing, for most software and electronic gear.
There might be some justification for a higher price when a retailer is selling a physical commodity and has to cover the cost of higher wages that are paid to sales staff in Australia, but in the case of an air ticket, the cost of selling a ticket to an Australian is exactly the same as it is to anyone anywhere else in the world.
The only way to ensure a level playing field is through consumer protection legislation, and in Australia that legislation lags behind that of Europe and North America. Not until the ACCC gets a big stick and goes into battle will we pay no more for our travels than the rest of the world.

Anthrax Dryer a Key To Probe
Suspect Borrowed Device From Lab
Tuesday, August 5, 2008; Page A01
Bruce E. Ivins, the government's leading suspect in the 2001 anthrax killings, borrowed from a bioweapons lab that fall freeze-drying equipment that allows scientists to quickly convert wet germ cultures into dry spores, according to sources briefed on the case.
Ivins's possession of the drying device, known as a lyopholizer, could help investigators explain how he might have been able to send letters containing deadly anthrax spores to U.S. senators and news organizations.
The device was not commonly used by researchers at the Army's sprawling biodefense complex at Fort Detrick, Md., where Ivins worked as a scientist, employees at the base said. Instead, sources said, Ivins had to go through a formal process to check out the lyopholizer, creating a record on which authorities are now relying. He did at least one project for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency that would have given him reason to use the drying equipment, according to a former colleague in his lab.
Ivins committed suicide last week. As authorities in Washington debated yesterday how to close the long investigation of him -- a step that would signal they think no one else is culpable in the anthrax attacks -- more details began to emerge about the nature of the case they developed against him.
In recent months, investigators have collected circumstantial building blocks in an effort to establish Ivins's alleged role in the attacks, which traumatized the nation and prompted stringent mail-handling policies. Letters containing the anthrax spores killed five people, including two D.C. area postal workers, and sickened 17 others.
Scientific analysis helped researchers pinpoint the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases as the likely source of the powder, which was the Ames strain of anthrax bacteria used in various projects at Fort Detrick. Further testing allowed them to narrow down the age of the substance, concluding that it had been cultivated no more than two years before the attacks.
Eventually, through more elaborate DNA testing of the power and tissue cultures from the victims, they determined that the powder probably came from supplies made by Ivins, to which about 10 other people had access. Authorities last week cited "new and sophisticated scientific tools" that helped advance the investigation.
Ivins was not charged before his death July 29. Paul F. Kemp, his attorney, has repeatedly asserted Ivins's innocence, and colleagues and friends say government officials fixed on the wrong man in a race to close a seven-year investigation rife with dead ends and missteps. They also note that other U.S. scientists had access to some of the same material and equipment that authorities apparently used to focus on Ivins.
The lyopholizer Ivins used in the fall of 2001 is commonly employed by pharmaceutical companies and laboratories, as well as food processors, to freeze a liquid broth of bacteria and quickly transform it into a dry solid without a thawing stage.
Scientists and biodefense experts familiar with USAMRIID's procedures say that Ivins's department rarely used such freeze-dryers, because the researchers there worked with anthrax bacteria in a liquid form.
"Dry anthrax is much harder to work with," said one scientist familiar with Ivins's lab. A lyopholizer would fit inside the ventilated "biosafety cabinet" at the lab and could have been used without drawing notice, the scientist said. The machine could have processed a few small batches of anthrax liquid in less than a day, he said.
Other biodefense experts noted that the drying step could have been carried out with equipment no more complicated than a kitchen oven. "It is the simplest . . . but it is the least reproducible," said Sergei Popov, a former Soviet bioweapons scientist who now specializes in biodefense at George Mason University. "If you go too fast you get 'sand,' " he said, referring to the coarser anthrax powder used in the first attacks, in September 2001.

Washington - We've all been there. You decide to paint a room, and weeks later, your walls are a crazy quilt of paint swatches. You've flipped through rooms on Pinterest and virtually painted your room online. You've asked your friends for their opinions. You're still afraid to make the wrong choice.
It's okay.
Consumers typically try three to five paint colours before deciding on their final selection, according to Erika Woelfel, director of colour marketing at US paint company Behr's. Of course, many try more.
Perhaps everyone should accept the fact that painting a room is sort of like becoming an artist. Painting is a process, whether you are agonising over the colour selection or brushing the paint on the walls. "You are the artist of your own environment," says Barbara Richardson, colour marketing manager for Glidden Paint. "You shouldn't be afraid to experiment and then adjust and tweak."
Nervous homeowners can find help from designers, architects and colour consultants, as well as apps. A new Color Connect app for iPhone connects folks to colour consultants for a live or e-mail exchange.
"We find consumers need the voice of affirmation that the colour they chose is the right one," says Sue Kim, a colour strategist. "We can narrow them down together."
Not feeling like Monet yet? Read on. We want to help jump-start your spring painting projects. Here are five paint experts' tips.
Zoe Kyriacos is an architectural colour consultant. Here are some of her pointers.
Consider the existing items in your room. Flooring, rugs, artwork and upholstery will suggest a colour direction. Try to pull together these elements in your colour choice. If your home is not furnished, make the paint colour the last thing you choose; there are thousands of colours to choose from but maybe only one rug you really love.
Take your paint samples home. Colours you select in a shop aisle will look different under the lighting conditions in your home.
Don't examine a paint sample against a white wall. Colour is affected by what surrounds it, and putting a sample on a white wall will cause it to appear darker than it really is. This results in many people making a choice that is too light. Put the paint sample against a couch, wood furniture or flooring for a better perspective.
Take into account how colour flows from room to room. If you have a modern house with an open floor plan, it's important to use one wall colour throughout the main floor. Add accent colours in a few carefully considered areas.
Stick with white trim. Try several whites before you make a final selection. White works well with cooler shades such as blue, grey, purple and pink. Warmer wall colours, such as yellow or green, call for a softer white.
Designer Elizabeth Hague is known for her calm and classic interiors. She shared her go-to paint colours for five different rooms and the reasons she likes them.
In a living room, off-white is a neutral backdrop for textiles, furniture and accents.
For a dining room, a dark, warm grey has a lot of pigment in it, which makes it rich and beautiful in candlelight.
A chalky blue serves as a nice contrast to natural stone countertops, cabinets and polished-nickel fixtures in a kitchen.
For the bedroom, choose a beautiful colour to wake up in, such as a blue-grey. It's the colour of sky on a clear day. To go with natural stone flooring and countertops and polished nickel fixtures in the bathroom, choose a shade with warm grey-green tones.
Christian Zapatka is an architect who specialises in design work that incorporates both architecture and interiors. He has a lot of experience choosing white paints. He said in traditional homes choose a soft white with a warm tone, with a faint "greige" background.
Soft white trims were ideal for all types of woodwork, and compatible with almost any wall colour.
In modern homes, choose a pure white with no trace of yellow or grey for a flawless look.
For a house where all rooms are painted white: choose a warm white without any yellow, which makes it great as a neutral background.
Bookcases and built-ins look great when painted in a crisp, bright white too. It sets off the wall colour around it.
Denise Sabia, a decorator who writes about paint on her blog, (www.paintedhomedesigns.com, is an expert at giving flea market furniture a fresh look, often with specialty finishes. We asked her to discuss some of these products.
There are lots of possible applications for chalkboard paint – great in the kitchen for grocery lists.
Chalk-finish paint (not to be confused with chalkboard paint) dries quickly and adheres to almost anything. This creates a chalky finish that sands down to a super smooth surface.
Metallic paint is a bold look that should be used sparingly. Use it as an accent on the edges of furniture for a little shimmer.
Milk paint is the perfect solution if you are looking for the chipped, time-worn look.
Here are tips on how to avoid stress while painting.
Pour paint into a smaller container. It's more practical to carry around. This is particularly helpful when working on a ladder.
Carry a wet cloth. If you drop paint on something, you can quickly wipe it off.
Wear an apron with pockets for an extra paintbrush, your phone or that little wet cloth.
Invest in a good quality brush. If you buy an inexpensive brush, you'll be annoyed at how much time you'll have to spend picking bristles out of your paint job. If you're using a water-based paint, clean your brush by wiping it with a newspaper or rag and then soaking in lightly soapy water. – jura koncius, Washington Post
