Harvey Bernard work will benefit Center for the Arts
By Gretchen Mensink Lovejoy
Wednesday, June 01, 2011 6:22 AM
Thanks to Harvey Bernard, history isn't so sketchy.
In fact, it's drawn out, right there in black and white.
And someday, it'll be the art of the center.
"We'll eventually be selling prints of Harvey's sketches as a fundraiser for the Chatfield Center for the Arts," stated Chatfield Mayor Don Hainlen as he and Center steering committee member F. Mike Tuohy accepted a donation of the late Chatfield artist's sesquicentennial sketch print from Bernard's daughters, Darla Bernard and Donna Ford, last Monday afternoon, May 23.
The print Ford and Bernard presented to the city depicts historic landmarks that served citizens of the town since its founding in 1853, five years before Minnesota was declared a state, including Cusson's Mill, the Morrill-O'Ferrall House, Chatfield High School, The Capitol Theatre, the Schermerhorn barn, the train depot, the cooperative creamery, and many more structures, overseen by a drawing of Judge Chatfield, the man for whom the city was named.
A description Bernard wrote about his print in 2003 stated, "This is a composite of buildings that served the town and surrounding area in pursuit of a livelihood. The tilling of the land touched nearly everyone directly or indirectly. If they did not work the land, they worked because of it, handling produce or supplies for the communities' needs.
"Some of the buildings were used for processing the produce of the fields, flocks and herds of the farms. Some buildings were for education, entertainment, recreation and social needs.
"Main Street was the hub of the community, where daily trading took place and deals were made. Saturday night on Main Street was a beehive of activity with every type worker trading the pollen of gossip for the honey of local news. All ages strolled the sidewalks, looking to renew old friendships and make new ones.
"In midweek, as I have shown, Main Street is quiet and under the watchful eyes of the merchants, plus Fred DeWitt on his drugstore corner.
"The background of the print is made up of family names to give a textured effect around the sketches and to give a sample of the folks who walked the streets of Chatfield and its country roads. It is not a complete list of local families, only names I gathered from the historical reprints in the Chatfield News and placed as space allowed on the print."
The Bernard family has resided in the Chatfield area since the 1860s, according to a drawing history accompanying Harvey's description of his sesquicentennial print.
Bernard originally wanted to become a farmer, but polio changed his dreams and he became an artist instead, chronicling Chatfield's people and their homes and businesses until his passing Jan. 25, 2009.
The history related that he created the print "to honor the history of Chatfield during the sesquicentennial year with a Chatfield print containing many detailed, historically accurate drawings," and that it was his contribution to the sesquicentennial celebration even though another artist had been selected as the official Chatfield sesquicentennial commemorator.
He researched buildings, businesses and homes that were significant in the community and drew "over 30 original detailed pen and ink drawings of historic Chatfield, including the Chatfield railroad depot, a detailed drawing of Main Street in Chatfield from the 1930s, several local school buildings and Judge Chatfield."
The drawing took him one year and "several hundred hours of work to research and complete," as he added more than 250 family names between the drawings of landmarks, a tribute to memories.
Ford and her sister noted that their father was a diverse artist, using pen and ink, oils, watercolors and outlines to foster familiar images of their fair hometown - the sesquicentennial quilt that hangs on the wall in the city council chambers was of Bernard's imagination and creation, they related.
"Dad did the drawing, and then he got the quilting ladies of the town together and asked them to make the quilt from his artwork."
Harvey's legacy will continue to benefit Chatfield, as Tuohy and Hainlen declared the city's intention of borrowing more of Bernard's varied artwork from his family to host a display to promote the print fundraiser for the art center.
For those citizens who missed his unique chronicle of Chatfield when it was sold the first time, more information will be available in the coming months.

France chose General Electric to form an alliance with Alstom on Friday - rejecting an offer from Siemens and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries - but said the deal still needed some work and added it would buy a 20 percent stake in the hotly-contested company.
Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg said he had used a newly- created state decree to reject both of the existing offers as not being in France's strategic interest, and had formulated fresh demands to GE Chief Executive Jeff Immelt.
The decision ended weeks of suspense surrounding one of Europe's fiercest industrial battles in years, but left open major questions about the final shape of an alliance which GE hopes will give it access to new power markets.
"The points we have raised with General Electric are precise and technical but necessary," Montebourg told a news conference after two days of talks involving the bosses of the three suitors, President Francois Hollande and top ministers.
He said France had demanded strict conditions "guaranteeing energy independence, job creation on national territory and maintenance of decision-making centres in France".
He said the offer from Siemens and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) was "very serious" and that he had personally backed it, but that the government "had made up its mind".
Montebourg added that he understood the Alstom board would meet later on Friday and give its view.
Alstom, GE and Siemens all declined to comment.
Montebourg confirmed that Alstom's lucrative gas turbines arm would be purchased by GE and said there would be discussions on the shape of joint ventures in other energy areas ranging from renewables to nuclear.
He said the French state would come in as the top shareholder in Alstom by purchasing a 20 percent stake in it from Bouygues, currently the holder of 29 percent.
The government and Bouygues have yet to agree on the price of the stake, sources with knowledge of the talks said. Based on Alstom's current market capitalization, a 20 percent stake would be worth 1.7 billion euros ($2.32 billion).
A Bouygues spokesman declined to comment.
GE will sell its rail signaling business to Alstom as part of plans to strengthen the transport activities of the French group, maker of the famed TGV high-speed trains.
Montebourg said the signalling business was valued at "one billion dollars or euros, I am not sure". He gave no other valuation details during the news conference.
Alstom's sensitive nuclear activities will be held in a 50:50 venture with GE in which the French state would have a "golden share" giving it a veto, said the economy minister, a self-styled "economic patriot" from the French left.
Alstom suffered more than bigger rivals from the 2008 economic crisis, which depressed electricity demand and caused a slump in the market for new power plant equipment, hitting its cash flow and ability to service debt.
But its assets are valuable to rivals slugging it out in a tough market. Linking up with Alstom will allow GE to provide turbines for power stations and technology for electricity grids - something Siemens, eyeing Alstom's high-margin gas turbines for itself, and MHI wanted to prevent because it makes their U.S. rival even stronger.
However analysts said that GE and Siemens both stood to benefit, regardless which one of them won the bid, as any deal would remove a competitor from the market that had been pushing down prices in a bid to grow its business. Alstom is the No.3 player in gas turbines after GE and Siemens, with a global market share that is estimated to be below 10 percent.
"Siemens should not be at a major disadvantage if GE buys the gas business," DWS fund manager Marcus Poppe told Reuters.
GE had radically overhauled its bid on Thursday, hoping to appease unions and politicians by transforming what had been largely a straight purchase into an offer of joint ventures similar to that of Siemens-MHI.
In response Siemens-MHI added 1.2 billion euros ($1.64 billion) to their offer for Alstom's energy business on Friday - taking their cash component to 8.2 billion - and simplified the structure of the deal, hoping to see off GE ahead of Monday's deadline for an Alstom board decision on the company's fate.
Siemens said its offer, which valued Alstom's power businesses at 14.6 billion euros, well above GE's 12.4 billion, was "superior industrially, financially and socially," and reaffirmed pledges to create new jobs in France, a commitment GE has also made.
Emerging from talks with Hollande, Siemens CEO Joe Kaeser said he was "very grateful" that the president had heard his pitch and added: "We will respect every decision."
Hollande's government blocked GE's initial advances on Alstom some two months ago and forced it to improve its offer by encouraging Siemens to enter the fray and giving itself the power to block industrial tie-ups in strategic areas.
Yet sources involved in the back-room discussions over the past seven weeks said it was not clear whether there was a single government line: Several union representatives of Alstom and political sources told Reuters the saga had drawn a divide between Montebourg, who they said lent towards the Siemens-MHI plan, and Hollande, in favour of GE.
While no one has publicly drawn a link between the two cases, Hollande is also lobbying U.S. authorities to reduce the penalties which France's biggest lender, BNP Paribas, faces for breaching U.S. sanctions in 2002-2009, notably its dollar-financing of oil trade out of Sudan.

Love the paper tole. Can't wait til the matching papers come out later this year.
This month's premier told (0215) is amazing! Debbie and LeNae outdid them selves with their designs. I don't comment on each one, but these are beautiful and I look forward to the new items when they are released.
Loved both the paper tole in foil. The first card was beautiful. I changed the message inside instead of just using the single word. The colors were stunning on the thank you card using the foil specialty paper. Thanks.
Happiness! I just received my December paper tole kit - Emma's Garden & Family Ties - beautiful foiled embellishments. Each imagine is so pretty, I may use them all separately with little stacking to make them go further. Thank you for another great kit!
The paper tole is beautiful. Love the colors and the designs in both of them. Can't wait to get some time to make the cards. - Daria

I love Premiere Paper Tole Kit. I just love surprises I guess that is why I love the Premiere Kits so much. I can't get over how generous Paper Wishes is with each kit.

Beautiful paper tole kit this month. Love the cheerfulness of the projects. Loved the sparkly papers used.

Nice kit this month....made all the cards.
The hot air balloon, being a big trend right now, was my absolute favorite ever. Thank you!
i live the paper tole kits..................this is my second one and i can hardly wait to get started with it.....any possibility we could get it every month????
The "Greetings" paper tole is fun, it has a vintage look, you can use it for birthday or vacation cards.
Love the paper tole. It is a new craft for me, but very addicting, lol. I am looking forward to the next kit. Callie
i love the paper tole.............and today i picked up my VIP gift from you..........how wonderful........i love card making and almost always have your webisodes playing as i am card making..........so much fun and inspiration.....lots of ideas.......thank you so much........
Received this on Christmas Eve and it was a beautiful surprise! I love, love, love the papier tole in this kit!
Once you start you can't stop. It is like your making a flower grow peddle by peddle and before you know it, it has become your master piece. Paper tole is addicting!
This month the Papier Tole is just so fun! I made each of the projects and had so many supplies left over, I made 2 more cards and a scrapbook page.
I love the paper you included with the Papier Tole. I have previously purchased the Red Velvet Artful Card Kit and I love having additional paper and the Red Flower Papier Tool to add to the project ideas that I will make.
over time, it did bring new ideas or skills with the paper tole. It is beautifully designed, I just wanted more.
Love these kits. I used many of them to make valentines for nursing homes.
Thanks for the beautiful paper tole. Can't wait to see the new paper packs.
I often refer to the monthly video on the subscription page to see the projects. Maybe remind others they can do that?
I love 3D paper tole,I wish you could get it every month like other kits,since I use them alot when making my greeting cards and get lots of complaments on them.
Are you going to put flowers in the kits - like the beautiful ones you introduced in 2011 such as the 3D from Reddy Creative Cards? I make cards and the reaction from these is over the top. People love them maybe because they are so beautiful. They become keepsakes. Thanks for the kits - love what you do Jean
It's hard to say how much I love these in a few words. These always make your creations look wonderful. You get them first, before they go on sale in the catalog. I just love being able to use something before the rest of the crowd. What fun.

This week in home video, we've got a slew of brand new releases coming your way. Unfortunately, only a few of them were critical darlings, but the ones that are critic-approved are pretty good ones. Among the new releases are the latest in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, the most recent offering from Disney's traditional animation department, a couple of action flicks that didn't perform as well as they would have liked, a computer animated update of an anime classic, director Pedro Almodovar's latest film, and a boxset of a brutal South Korean trilogy. Dig in, and hopefully there'll be something worth your while this week!
Hot off the Academy Awards celebration that took place just last night in Hollywood, we've got a couple of big releases to talk about this week in home video. The first of these is director Jason Reitman's third feature film, the Best Picture nominated Up in the Air; it didn't take home any awards, but it was one of the most highly regarded films of the year. And then there's Precious, which did in fact take home two Oscars, but which was probably seen by far fewer people. After that, the pickings are slim, but we've managed to weed out a few items to pique your interest. Have a look!
This week, we've got a few hotly ancitipated releases, ranging from widespread destruction to arthouse children's film to the work of an animation master. On top of that, we've got a few indie gems and a couple of films that are making the jump to Blu-Ray for the very first time. Whether you're a martial arts nut, a child of the 80s, or a mainstream consumer who gobbles down the "popcorn" flicks one right after another, there's probably something here this week that'll suit your fancy. Continue reading to see what's coming out this week.
Last week, we featured a list of new home video releases that only included one Rotten film, which was pretty remarkable. This week, we have another unique situation in that all of the featured releases, except for one, are brand new (i.e. they all came out in 2009). Unfortunately, while a couple of them received high marks, there are a few niche movies that failed to garner very high Tomatometers. That said, if horror-comedy is a favorite genre of yours, you'll find a couple items of interest, and if you're looking to check out a few movies that never made it to your city, well, we've got a few highly regarded smaller flicks on tap as well. Check out the full list.
Welcome to another week in home video. Many of the films that made big impacts before the winter movie season of 2009 have already found their way to DVD, so there isn't as much out there as one might hope. Nevertheless, we've been able to comb through the list of new releases to find some interesting choices for the discriminating consumer, and we're happy to report that only one of this week's choices has been reviewed as a Rotten film! The biggest (at least, probably best known) release this week is Law Abiding Citizen, starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx, but films like Black Dynamite, Good Hair, and Revanche were all highly regarded films that also hit shelves this week. Have a look at our full list and decide for yourself which might be worth checking out.
This week on home video, we've got a handful of brand new releases, but once you cycle through those, there isn't much left to be had. Sure, there are a few Blu-Ray reissues, but not too many that folks are chomping at the bit for, so as a result, we dug deep to find a couple of interesting items that may or may not be good conversation pieces. The most prominent release this week is the latest from the Coen brothers, the Oscar-nominated A Serious Man. Then, we've got a few misses with titles like Couples Retreat, Serious Moonlight, and The Time Traveler's Wife. But hopefully our classic collection and off-the-wall wild card choice will be interesting enough to merit a look. See what we've come up with below!
There are a lot of new releases this week, but only a few of them managed to impress critics or audiences. The biggest one coming out is Ruben Fleischer's debut zombie comedy, Zombieland, which actually did manage to please both the pundits and the moviegoers. Aside from that, the other major releases (Amelia, Love Happens) didn't gain much traction, and instead, a couple of the smaller indies (More Than a Game, House of the Devil) are what shone. Also, if you're into sports, we've got an inspiring hoops doc, and there are a few reissues of classics as well. So dive in and check out the most interesting of this week's releases on home video.
This week on DVD and Blu-Ray, we've got a lot of new releases - some of them more worthy of mention than others - and a couple of new editions of familiar titles. In addition, we have one very important boxset of Italian cinema that Criterion saw fit to release, much to the joy of film aficionados everywhere. The other notable thing about this week's releases is that many of them are quite Fresh, if not Certified Fresh, with the exception of one or two flops, and one that is sure to divide viewers quite dramatically. So, buckle up your seat belts and dive into our ten picks this week to see which will make it onto your DVD rack, and which will be left to collect dust on the shelves of your nearest retailers.
Who's scarier: A spooky orphaned child, the icy editor of 'Vogue', or a bunch of cannibals run amuck in the Tasmanian wilderness? Tune in to this week's RT on DVD for reviews of 'Orphan', 'The September Issue' and Australian film 'Van Diemen's Land'.
Last week, we thought things might be looking better for home video releases, what with a few of the highest rated films coming out (the Golden Tomato winners for both Best Limited Release and Best Comedy, in fact). Unfortunately, it looks like it might just be business as usual again this week, as we've got a handful of releases that failed to gain much momentum with critics. Having said that, there are still a few noteworthy choices, so let's look ahead with a positive attitude and take a look at what's new on DVD and Blu-Ray. After all, it's only the third week of January!
This week, Pixar's old man in a balloon arrives on DVD, comedienne Charlyne Yi goes in search of love with Michael Cera, and Parker Posey returns.
Here we are in the second week of 2010, and already things are looking better... at least in terms of home video releases. While we've been suffering from a lack of many great films coming to home audiences in the past several weeks, this week brings us a handful of dandies. Not only do we have one of the highest rated movies of the year, but we've also got a handful of impressive directorial debuts (and one not so impressive one), a horror sequel for the slasher-minded, and the latest from Tyler Perry. Not only that, we've got a couple of Blu-Ray reissues: one classic action flick, and one cinematic masterpiece brought to us in high definition by the good folks at Criterion. Read on to see the choices and see which ones might be worth picking up!
The new year is here, everyone, and with it comes another week of new releases on home video. Many of the most anticipated films have already come out on DVD and/or Blu-Ray, and the few remaining films in that category will be released in the coming weeks. For this week, however, this means our choices are somewhat tame again. For starters, we've got a surprisingly well-received animated children's book adaptation and the last installment (so they say) in a horror franchise, as well as a few indie films that flew beneath the mainstream radar. Then we've got a few Blu-Ray reissues of some beloved older films, and one oddball choice profiling the martial arts antics of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Read on for full details!
Now that Christmas has passed, it's time for you to return all those gifts you didn't really want and pick up something special for yourself. And, unfortunately, though we have a couple of big-ticket items hitting home video shelves this week, the overall selection is once again a little spotty. Many have been waiting for the chance to see the super low-budgeted thriller Paranormal Activity, and now is their chance, as that hits stores today. On top of that, the visually distinctive animated film, 9, also comes out this week, along with the much anticipated (but poorly reviewed) Diablo Cody/Megan Fox movie, Jennifer's Body. Aside from those, we've got a handful of other interesting choices, including a profile of a legendary boxer, one of this season's hottest new TV shows, a wrestler beating up bad guys, and... beer pong? See which of them will make it onto your DVD shelf!
Sam Raimi returns to his horror roots in Drag Me to Hell, the Wayans surprise us by doing a parody movie (ahem) and Family Guy take on Star Wars, again.
One would think that the week of Christmas would bring with it a plethora of new releases in home video, but such is unfortunately not quite the case. Though there are a handful of notable releases, such as District 9, (500) Days of Summer, and It Might Get Loud (all Certified Fresh, by the way), and a couple of nice collections for those familiar with classic American movies and classic American television, there wasn't much in the way of "wow factor" this week. Having said that, we've done our best to pick out the choicest of the few morsels we had to choose from, so we hope there'll be something to suit your holiday fancy regardless.
It's a bingo this week with Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' goose stepping onto DVD and Blu-ray, leading -- by a long margin -- the Jack Black-Michael Cera goof-off 'Year One' and Katherine Heigl in 'The Ugly Truth'. Bad movie fans, meanwhile, should have a great time with Nicolas Cage in 'Bangkok Dangerous'.
This week on home video, we've got a bizarre combination of interests represented by new releases. With the holiday season in full swing, what better gift to give than... a Quentin Tarantino movie? Sure, why not? It got pretty great reviews, and it's the most acclaimed new release on deck this week. But if fantastical, talky, WWII-era war films aren't your thing, then perhaps you'll go for an over-the-top buddy comedy, or maybe a group of talking CGI guinea pigs. Still not your bag? Well, alright, then we've got a collection from a comedy legend, some eccentric animation, a documentary on a winning sports team, and a beloved sci-fi franchise. And, if all else fails, there's always a prosthetic penis to complete the holiday mood.

Rex Ryan, Please Stop Body-Shaming Your Beautiful Brother
According to Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo, Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan was talking some mess about the appearance of his brother, Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. »
According to Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo, Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan was talking some mess about the appearance of his brother, Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. » 3/24/15 2:34pm Tuesday 2:34pm
I will always find Rex Ryan's willingness to go full fanboy on whatever team he's coaching to be immensely charming. It was great when he got a picture of his wife wearing nothing but a Jets jersey tattooed on his arm, and it was great when he got that Jets jersey turned into a Bills one. So I am 100 percent behind… » 2/26/15 5:29pm 2/26/15 5:29pm
Remember that tattoo Rex Ryan got of his wife wearing a Mark Sanchez jersey? That's a pretty embarrassing tattoo to have if you're the newly hired head coach of their division rival Buffalo Bills, so on Friday he rectified the situation. Via the Wall Street Journal: » 2/02/15 8:27pm 2/02/15 8:27pm
After six seasons with the popgun Jets—four of those with muse Mark Sanchez—lots of folks were surprised that Rex Ryan took a job with the similarly quarterback-challenged Bills, rather than take over the Falcons and Matt Ryan. Asked specifically about it, Ryan says having a QB is NBD. » 1/16/15 4:33pm 1/16/15 4:33pm
Rex Ryan had his introductory press conference with the Buffalo Bills today, and if its tone was any indication of what Ryan's tenure as the Bills head coach is going to be like, we should all be very excited. » 1/14/15 4:23pm 1/14/15 4:23pm
No, silly, his thing is feet. » 1/14/15 1:25pm 1/14/15 1:25pm
After Rex Ryan became the head coach of the Bills, defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz found himself in an odd position. Ryan wanted him to stay with the team, but Schwartz is choosing to move on and find work elsewhere. So, who wants him? » 1/13/15 1:44pm 1/13/15 1:44pm
It's official now: Rex Ryan is the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills. » 1/12/15 10:15am 1/12/15 10:15am
As reported by Adam Schefter and re-double-super-confirmed by the rest of Twitter's NFL beat, former Jets coach and Tarantino foot shot enthusiast Rex Ryan is expected to take the Bills head coaching job today. He'll be coaching a perpetually downtrodden AFC East team with a good defense and a hopeless project… » 1/11/15 8:05am 1/11/15 8:05am
Rex Ryan will interview for the 49ers' and Falcons' coaching jobs. And if he can't find a good fit, he's reportedly already met with ESPN executives about a potential on-air role. » 12/31/14 9:30am 12/31/14 9:30am
Black Monday is off to a running start: the Jets have officially announced the firing of head coach Rex Ryan and GM John Idzik. From owner Woody Johnson's statement: » 12/29/14 8:51am 12/29/14 8:51am
Only the Jets could donk their way into annoying their head coach by not firing him. But according to a report from NJ.com, Ryan is righteously pissed that Jets owner Woody Johnson and doofus-turk Charley Casserly are shopping his and John Idzik's jobs without actually having fired them. » 12/28/14 1:19pm 12/28/14 1:19pm
How positive is Rex Ryan that he is going to be fired after six season as the New York Jets head coach? According to a report from Dom Cosentino, Ryan has already cleared out his office in advance of Sunday's game at Miami. Jets owner Woody Johnson has reportedly hired former Texans GM Charley Casserly to serve as a… » 12/27/14 12:05pm 12/27/14 12:05pm
Before the Jets fell, ugly, to the Dolphins and to 2-10, every offensive starter received an individual pregame introduction. Every starter save Geno Smith, who entered, quietly, with the rest of the team. » 12/02/14 10:40am 12/02/14 10:40am
The New York Jets have been nothing short of flaming dog poop this year. The quarterback situation has been an especially vital part of the circus act. It started back in training camp, when coaches were upset that Michael Vick was content with his backup role at quarterback. As our Samer Kalaf put it then: » 11/27/14 5:47pm 11/27/14 5:47pm
As time expired on Sunday and the Jets snapped their eight-game losing streak, Rex Ryan let loose with some hearty and satisfying profanity. It'll cost him $100,000, per Chris Mortensen. » 11/14/14 2:55pm 11/14/14 2:55pm
The New York Jets got stomped to hell by the San Diego Chargers yesterday, and the 31-0 blowout was so bad that Jets starting quarterback Geno Smith was yanked before the start of the second half. Smith's day got even more embarrassing after the game, a report claimed that he'd missed a team meeting on Saturday night.… » 10/06/14 11:34am 10/06/14 11:34am
Things for the Jets are probably going to get worse before they get better—the Chargers, Broncos, and Patriots are up next on the schedule—but after another shaky outing, Geno Smith got an immediate and unequivocal vote of confidence from his coach. » 9/29/14 9:10am 9/29/14 9:10am
The Jets called an illegal timeout to cancel out their own game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter, and ended up losing to the Packers. It was a very Jets sequence. » 9/14/14 8:15pm 9/14/14 8:15pm

Help my parents with exterior paint
Morning, GWers. I'm usually in the kitchen forum but I could use some help over here. My parents moved into this mid-century colonial and want to dress up the exterior as it's rather square and blah. They have considered painting the door, or the trim around the door, or adding shutters. The door is currently painted charcoal. They don't want to change the paint color of the house or the color of the brick - just the area around the door, the door itself or adding shutters.
Any suggestions or even better, anyone that can mock up some ideas? Seeing a design would really help. There is a lot of landscaping that isn't present in this Minnesota July (haha) picture.
Thanks so much! They will really appreciate it!
They certainly have the right idea - I would start with shutters on the upstairs windows on both ends and the downstairs windows. Not sure what do to with the middle upstairs window - I think shutters straight across on top would be too much..? The trim around the door and the door need paint - I agree. I would coordinate the shutter color with the door and trim - maybe just varying the shades a bit. Is the vinyl on the top yellow or cream?
thanks, wolfpack. i would say it's yellow but a very pale yellow. any color suggestions for the door surround (not sure what to call it) and the shutters?
I have a light yellow house myself. This is what I would do with your parents house - Upstairs - two end windows I would put white shutters on each side. Leave the middle window the way it is. I think shutters on all three upstairs windows would be too much. Downstairs - both of the windows I would put some type of white decorative trim/box type thing (I really don't know what they are called) across the top of each window. I would do the large trim piece around the front door white. For the front door, I would take a color out of the stone on the front of the house and paint it to match that. Google "what color shutters to put on a yellow house" I did that and there were a ton of images to look at!

SD couple spearhead effort to donate crops to countries in need

Chalk One Up for Inspiration
Reading about the anonymous students—calling themselves Dangerdust—at Columbus College of Art & Design who have been sneaking in and creating motivational chalkboard art, I had so many questions. The first was, "They still use chalkboards?" I followed that up with, "How can I turn my talents into a renegade art?" Well, I certainly can't make beautiful chalk art like they do, but it inspires me to be more creative. Here's a collection of chalk-inspired beauty to prime the creative pump.
Molly Jacques is an illustrator, creating hand-lettered artwork. Her site also lists fonts for sale and she offers in-person workshops on lettering and calligraphy.
If you lack the artistic ability to work in chalk, you could use this step-by-step process to create your own chalkboard masterpiece.
If even using the DIY-with-printer method is too much work, why not just buy a chalkboard art print? The combination of chalkboard and delicious hot cocoa is a perfect combination, don't you think?
The Bergamot Ornaments font is a neat collection of ornaments that would be at home in any chalkboard creation. This DIY-er created a character map for the font so you can easily pick and choose the elements you need for your creation.
Tired of trying to work with chunky, dusty sticks of chalk? I don't think these awesome mechanical chalk pencils would improve anything I would try to create, but maybe they'll give you the added control when working in the chalkboard world.
Sometimes I find inspiration in not only seeing someone's work, but getting to know about the artist as well. This profile of Dana Tanamachi's work led me to read more about this talented artist who found her niche.
After viewing this timelapse video of the creation of a large chalkboard piece, I know I don't have the patience for this type of work. Inspiring nonetheless, you owe it to yourself to see the 7 hours(!) compressed to five and a half minutes.
Okay…ready to make your own chalkboard inspired artwork? Here's a package of fonts that embody the look and feel of hand-lettered chalkboard art and you can optionally download chalkboard backgrounds and extra icons.
Lastly, if you're interested in that secretive team, Dangerdust, their Behance portfolio is available. You can check out the renegade pieces they've created late at night, and even buy prints from their Etsy shop.

OK, teachers. It is put-up or shut-up time.
When news of former House Speaker Glenn Richardson's alleged affair with a lobbyist broke late last year, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle beat the drum for tougher ethics laws. In fact, you could hardly turn around without hearing a candidate for governor talking about ethics.
States with weak gun laws supply guns to criminals in other states at a rate five times higher than dealers in states with stronger gun laws, according to a Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence analysis of newly released crime gun trace data.
Next week, Georgia's seniors will receive a $250 rebate check from the federal government to pay for some lifesaving medications if they fall within the Medicare Part D coverage gap known as the "donut hole." That $250 check is the beginning of the end for the donut hole – and was made possible by the Affordable Care Act.
According to current nuclear industry proposals, over two dozen new nuclear reactors would be constructed in the United States, the vast majority in the Southeast and Texas. President Obama recently offered $8.3 billion worth of taxpayer-backed loan guarantees to two of them in Georgia, which could be the first to be built in the U.S. in nearly four decades.
OK, class. Our word this week is Kakistocracy.
During the six years that I have served in the Georgia state legislature, this past session may have been the most productive yet.
President Barack Obama said at his BP press conference that when he was shaving the other day, his daughter Malia asked him, "Did you plug the hole yet, Daddy?"
What a Paine!
It was the mistake heard round the world.
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce was heartened to see our state's significant achievements in education reform recognized earlier this year with a strong finish in the initial round of Race to the Top (RT3) grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education. We believe RT3 represents an excellent opportunity to build on Georgia's success, and we commend the state on its submission of a second-round application.
Many in Liberty County were surprised last week when Liberty County Probate Court Judge Nancy Aspinwall appointed Polly Martin to succeed her late husband, J. Don Martin, as sheriff of Liberty County. The public outcry generally questioned whether Martin's wife was the most qualified person to manage and lead Liberty County's law enforcement.
Editor, I saw the following quote on Facebook recently: "I tried to keep silent but my ancestors won't let me."
At Keep Liberty Beautiful, we are all about trash this month. Trash pickup, that is.
Last weekend, as I introduced President Barack Obama on the steps of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, I was overcome with emotions. Of course, I reflected on how far we have come over the past 50 years. But one thought could not escape my mind: Those who fight to make it harder to vote don't know what it's like to be kicked, clubbed and beaten for the simple right to cast a ballot.
Editor, Sam's, Costco, Barnes and Noble, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Hallmark, Hancock Fabrics, Staple's, Bed Bath and Beyond, JC Penney, Sears, Dillard's, Macy's, Kirkland's, etc.
It is with regret I tell you that our intrepid public servants in the Legislature have scuttled a bill that would have lowered the age of eligibility to serve as a member of the House of Representatives to 18 years of age and to 21 in the State Senate.
Editor, For decades, students at the traditional public schools in Georgia have been denied the chance to win a state championship because the system overseen by the Georgia High School Association (GHSA) ignores the fact that there is no parity among traditional public schools, private schools and city schools.

our thoughts vs. the lighting designer's...need an opinion!
We have a relatively small kitchen 13x17, with black titanium granite on cream cabinets, as well as a 5 foot 2-tier island. We've chosen a Hubbardton Forge light over the kitchen table, as well as semi-flush lights from the same collection for over the kitchen window and in the hallway. The lighting designer says that, because the kitchen is relatively small, we should have 2 pendants that match the rest of the lights. I and my teenage kids want color, and want colorful smaller glass pendants on cables over the island. DH doesn't care. Designer says no. BTW, we have lots of recessed lighting, don't need lots for over the island. I know that we should do what we like...but I'm afraid it will be too much, and that matching pendants will make a "completed" look.......Help!
Here is a link that might be useful: Hubbardton Forge Sweeping Taper series
Well, do you want to bring it all together or have a nice accent over the island? Using the coordinating Hubbardton Forge pendants would bring it together and you're all matchy-matchy which is a pretty safe way to go. Using the colorful smaller glass pendants would be a nice accent IMO. I'd go rather small and narrow due to the size of the island and use 2-3 of them depending on the width/diameter of the pendant. Personally, I like the majority of my house to coordinate with special accents here & there like those pendants you & your kids like. And as I had to point out time & time again to different designers & subs--Lots of thought has gone into this decision and while I appreciate your insight/input, I am the one who has to live in the house when it's finished--not you, so please order and install what I have selected.
Hope this helps!
Well said dreamhome! As the homeowner, you have to please yourself. Don't be afraid of telling the lighting designer you are doing your own thing. I love the idea of a pop of color over your island. A relatively painless way to do this is to go with inexpensive mini pendants from one of the box stores. They have lots of colorful shade choices. If you decided you can't live with them,you can always replace them later.

Aircraft cabins at 35,000 feet are not going to exceed sea level 14.7 PSI of pressure. You seemed to have misunderstood the term "pressurized." At 35,000 feet altitude, the ambient atmospheric pressure is considerably less than that at sea level. Furthermore, no animal can survive above 25,000 due to oxygen deprivation. Commercial aircraft pressurize their cabins to provide the oxygen density necessary to sustain life, as well as give some form of comfort to the passengers. However, to pump the cabin up to 14.7 PSI while it's only 5 PSI outside is not economical (expensive seals), and to do so would also put unnecessary stress on the aircraft (how many square inches of skin are there on an airframe? Multiply that by 14.7). To put it simply, you're mistaken in thinking that there will be increased air pressure while flying, compared to being on the ground.airplanes, which have pressurized cabins
It seems like the increased pressure might weaken the piping system
Even if you subjected the coolant system to increased air pressure, it would not weaken the plumbing. Water is an incompressible fluid, while air can be compressed. It'll take some serious PSIs to bust through a well engineered cooling system. Also, the technology of water cooling was invented during WW1, during development of fighter engines, so the technology has been proven.
Bad idea buddy. Although the tensil strength of the cooling pipes would probably contain the liquid, but you'd be subjecting them to more stress. Without air pressure pushing in on the pipes, there's only the pressure of the water pushing out. The only concern I'd have with the cooling system regards the amount of power it would consume compared to fans. You can never have too much battery life.If I get one of these, I'll use a vacuum case for travelling with it.
Last thing - if you're really concerned, RTFM/RTFDS (Read the fucking data sheet)!
There's always a page describing the operating environments the device was designed for. A pressurized airplane cabin can be assumed equivalent to 10,000 ft altitude.

I really enjoyed book one. Book two was ok but I could only get 10 minutes into the second story before I gave up. I just have trouble getting excited about a geriatric protagonist in a story that doesn't entertain me.
I thought the theatrical performance was a little better but I find myself struggling to pay attention.
The topics I found most interesting in book one seem to have remained undeveloped while the topics I liked the most, which I would argue are the most boring, have been developed further.
If you wrote a fantastic story beyond the first two, my apologies. I won't be reading it. The series just can't hold my attention.

Hey AO friends!
Well.. I dusted of my PS1 and played an old game that I have loved for years.. It's presented by Banpresto.. and it has gundams in it and all.. it's sooo darn awsome, and over here it hasn't been that famous and all, I was wondering if any of you know this game. It's called Real Robots Final Attack :thumb: .. I'm looking for other versions of this game, wonder if they have other versions on ps2 or maybe later on ps3.. I played it in an arcade once somewhere in america, and have been addicted to it ever since.. stopped for a few years, but started again today :2thumbs: lol.. it's just a fighting game, but if you like gundam, man o man you gotta love this! :D
So.. anyone have an idea, or know this game?

I'm buying a backup notebook for my wife. My plan was to replace the hard drive with one of mine (so I know it's secure and reliable). And I was trying to judge whether I could use the drive I remove from the notebook and use it for her backups.
dave, when I run chkdsk it often flashes before I'd have time to save it.

Linux virtualization
Linux virtualization refers to running one or more virtual machines on a physical computer that's operated by the Linux open source operating system. Linux virtualization can be used for isolating specific apps, programming code or even an operating system itself, as well as for security and performance testing purposes.
Today's more powerful computers and hardware have made virtualization more practical and feasible for both desktop and server environments, helping to save power by consolidating several workspaces on one system as well as maximizing the workload that the compute can handle. Popular Linux virtualization solutions include Xen, KVM, QEMU, VirtualBox and VMware.

Susan Lacke blogged late last week about one drawback of life in Phoenix: running in the heat.
She's learned to cope with it in various ways, such as cutting through yards with sprinklers and befriending 7-Eleven clerks so that she can get ice and water — and, after much deliberation, going shirt-free:
"I run without a shirt. In the past, I would quiet my need to be comfortable in favor of my desire to not have anything jiggly on display for the world to see. One day, shirt soaked with sweat post-run, I looked across the street to see my neighbor mowing his yard, shirtless, in all his 300-pound-hairy-backed glory. The next morning, the tech tees stayed in the drawer and Phoenix was introduced to my (very white) torso."

Keeping corks healthy means keeping the humidity just right
Posted: May 6, 2014 By James Laube
When it comes to cellaring wine, I've never paid much attention to humidity. But I've always been curious about the topic.
The debate over the importance of humidity has long been taken up by wine folks. One school of thought is that high humidity keeps a cork damp so it won't dry out or crumble, possibly exposing the wine to oxygen. My fellow columnist Matt Kramer is skeptical of the role humidity plays in the cellar. My general distrust of corks includes the crumbling effect. Usually, older corks are susceptible to cracking and crumbling. But I find younger corks are just as big a pain. No one likes to fish crumbled cork out of their glass of wine, even if it hasn't been oxidized.

That's right, I was Krug'd last weekend during the Naples Winter Wine Festival, an annual three-day event centered around one of the nation's highest-grossing charity wine auctions.
Krug Champagne managing director Olivier Krug was recognized as the event's honored vintner, which meant that the weekend afforded attendees, myself included, several opportunities to enjoy a glass of Krug. But I wasn't truly Krug'd until Friday night's dinner, at which chef Barbara Lynch of Boston's Menton restaurant created six courses paired with six different Krug bottlings, including a sneak preview of the soon-to-be-released 2003 vintage.

Cyclone Phailin left a trail of destruction along India's east coast and up to seven people dead after the biggest evacuation in the country's history helped minimise casualties. Leaving untold damage in its wake, Cyclone Phailin plowed through India on Saturday, killing 14 people and forcing as many as one million people from their homes, according to CNN. The storm has reportedly lessened slightly as it headed northwest on Sunday, reported BBC News. CNN on Sunday said it had become a Category 1 hurricane — hurricanes are called cyclones in the Indian Ocean — dropping down from a Category 4. It was at that strength, packing 140-mile-an-hour winds, that the cyclone made landfall Saturday in Odisha state. A top disaster management official told Agence France-Presse that 14 had been reported dead, far less than initially feared. "We have been able to... (keep) the death toll to a bare minimum," vice chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority Marri Shashidhar Reddy told reporters in New Delhi, AFP said. The worst storm to strike India in 14 years, Phailin tore through coastal homes in India's southern Odisha and Andhra Pradesh states on Saturday. According to India's Economic Times, the powerful cyclone also sunk a cargo ship carrying 8,000 tons of iron ore. "The Panama-registered cargo ship MV Bingo is feared sunk as the crew was sighted on a lifeboat yesterday east of Sagar, 25km from the coast," Kolkata Port Trust head Kahlon said on Sunday, reported the Times. Disaster relied officials and residents on Sunday worked to clear roads and assess the damage. Watch India's NDTV report from Ganjam, the area hardest-hit by the storm, here:

Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Andrea Steed
Years ago, my brother asked me to make a football scrapbook for him including photos, newspaper articles and some of his memories of being his high school team's varsity quarterback. It was such a fun album to create, because I was able to see the team from his perspective and create a memory album that he'll treasure forever.
Here are some tips for capturing your football player's team memories:
Choose an appropriate color scheme. If your album is about one team, that should be easy! Just pick the school or team colors and add in some typical football colors like green, white, brown and black. There are tons of great football-themed papers and stickers that stick to these neutral and common football colors. Adding in your specific team colors as accents completes the scheme.
Embellish with purpose. Stick to the theme of a rough-and-tough team-oriented album and make your embellishments have purpose. They aren't just a decorative element, they can help tell the story and create the mood of the album. Here are a few ideas:
- Print or hand-cut the school logo.
- Use team mascot stickers and die cuts.
- Add stitching to mimic the football. (example: Tackle Football)
- Design laces as a border to mimic the laces on a uniform.
- Use textures that mimic the grass, dirt and turf of the field.
- Don't forget to use his jersey number as an accent! (example: He Works Hard & Plays Tough)
Tell the story. Photos and titles are great, but journaling is what really tells the story of what it was like for your football player to be involved in his team. There is so much great information you can glean from him to include in his album:
- Ask him questions and use his words as the journaling. What was your favorite part of being on the team? What was the worst part? Best memory? Hardest game? Favorite position played? (example: 1st & 10)
- Include the positions he played and what that position does.
- Many teams have a mantra or quote they use as inspiration. (example: Boys of Fall)
- Record the words to the school song:
- Include the words to some of the crowd's favorite cheers.
- Newspaper articles are a great source of journaling, telling the stories of star players, important games and big wins!
- Did your player suffer an injury? Tell all about it.
- Every team has a big rivalry or major game that stands out each season. Highlight that rivalry on a special page.
Collect photos to include. You may not have taken many photographs of your football player, but there are lots of ways to collect images you can use in an album.
- Look through the school yearbook photographer's archives.
- Ask other parents. Look for the mom with the long camera lens and ask her to take some shots of your kid too...chances are she'll be thrilled to do so!
- Check your local newspaper for articles, photos and clips about your team.
- Be sure to include the team photo! (example: Football Stars)
Extra memorabilia really pulls it together. Besides photos and journaling, there are all kinds of other trinkets and items you can add to this scrapbook that have special sentimental appeal such as:
- varsity letters/pins
- game programs
- patches
- team t-shirts - a jersey would make an awesome album cover!
- mascot temporary "tattoos" - use them just like rub-ons
- pennants
- awards (example: Freshman Football)
- pom poms
Football scrapbooking is a fantastic way to capture the memories of a time in a boy's life where he learns important life lessons about teamwork, perseverance, competition, winning and losing. It's not just about the sport, it's about the life and character created through it!

Heirlooms with yellow leaves & Brown Spots
I'm posting for my frustrated husband. He is trying to grow heirlooms in containers on our terrace and has been having problems. Last year it was thrip and all the problems it brings.
The weather is finally turning warm this week in So. Calif. Temps have been in the 70s previous. No rain at all.
This is a sample of a Great White leaf. We also have a Aunt Ruby with the same problem. They're turning yellow with spots and then shrivels up and dries out (turns crispy). We cut off the shriveled ones but more pop up. The Aunt Ruby has had nothing but blossom drop. Great White is at least bearing a couple of fruits.
Could someone tell us what is the problem? We've sprayed with a fungicide(neem oil) since we thought it was spores. We've also read that spores can be in the soil--we got ours from Armstrong--and we might have to just get rid of the plants altogether. Please help!
Image link:
Those photos are too small for me to tell if it's what my Aunt Ruby's had, but it was a virus and I killed the plants and burned them..
I gave away a few of these to friends and family and am monitoring their status closely.
Where did you get your seeds?
