Thanks Spencer!!!
Full screen, one at a time... is just nuts. OK for a phone, nuts for a 27" monitor. Even home/personal productivity functions require two windows open side-by-side frequently (every time I reconcile my bank statement). There's a reason we don't do certain things on a 3.5" screen, or even a 10".
There's gonna be a run on Win7 licenses. If MS forces OEM's to build only Win8 machines, I can see an immediate reformat & clean Win7 install, warranty be damned.
But... check this: http://www.neowin.net/news/start-menu-apps-still-work-in-windows-8-release-preview While it works on the RP, it may very well not work on the RTM.
Luckily, there's no expiration date (yet) on Windows 7.
God those shots make me hate Win 8. Like Daiwa said, those windows are fine for a phone, or tablet, but a desktop? It makes me want to vomit.
If I can't open Quicken & my browser at the same time, Metro8 is of no use. (I'm with taltamir - I refuse to call something without windows, 'Windows'.)
Absolutely useless, disgusting and offensive.
Thx for the warning Spencer.
'Cuse me.
I read a MS blog that seems quite proud of this edition, but you are quite right, John, Windows 8 is an abomination and a grievous insult to the desktop users of this world.
It would be alright if the Metro UI could be disabled completely so we could return to a Win 7-like desktop, but it seems MS is fully intent on forcing this mess down consumers throats regardless of the backlash it is receiving throughout the world/across the industry. I read yesterday that MS is furiously ripping out Legacy Code to disable start button/menu replacements, despite the obvious want, need, desire to have them, to ensure that users are doomed to use Metro. Not happening on my PC's, though. Hopefully MS will learn from this diabolical mistake and revert back to a sensible UI for Win 9... though I won't hold my breath.
You know, I've been toying with switching to Linux for years, when Win7 sunsets this just may be what makes me go through the learning curve. Hard to believe they are being this stupid, as others others have said, this would all look great for tablets/phones, but for a desktop?? Un-freafing-believable, it's like they forgot how people who don't just browse the Internet use computers!
I really wonder about Microsoft though. It really takes A LOT of people at MS to be totally ignorant to the 'world outside' to explain this mess of an OS.
I don't know that it's a Lot of "totally ignorant" people at MS, more like MS flexing its 'dominant OS' muscles and telling the PC world what it IS going to get, like it or not. However, to think that way would require a high level of ignorance... not to mention arrogance.
Says who? There's still a 32 bit version of the OS and the 64 bit version uses less memory than 7.
Might be a long term objective of MS, might not be.
Also, Core 2 Duo supports 32 and 64 fine. It's the original Core Duo that was 32 bit only.
I dont think it looks that great, even for phones, pads etc..
The third screenshot still sports the Fisher Price look. Ugh! Overall it looks decent for a tablet but desktop support still appears to be an after thought so there goes any corporations doing an update Windows 8.
That was pretty much a no brainer anyhow, what with the Metro default and not all aspects being obvious to the user [hidden triggers]. No, corporations are not going to see this as productive, particularly when multi-tasking is a thing of the past in Metro, which MS is intent WILL be the default UI, regardless of consumer wants and needs.
Так это на планшете будет конечно хорошо!
Но мне кажется, что и Андроид вполне адекватно заменяет это все.
Не правда ли они похожи?
Ну по скорости ответа, по мобильности и вообще по дизайну.
Ive been really happy with Win 7 which I think is probably the last Windows now that Microsoft is busy playing catch up with Pads and other mobile devices. If I wanted an OS for a mobile device, Windows would likely be at the bottom of the list.

The unconventional designs of Fountain Valley's schools recall education's golden age.
By ASHER KLEIN / ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Approach Harry C. Fulton Middle School in Fountain Valley from above, whether in a helicopter or on Google Maps, and you won't see a school but a family of parasols.
In Huntington Beach, Samuel E. Talbert Middle School takes the shape of a thunderbird – where you'd expect squared angles and uniform spacing, there are two large triangles flaring away from each other, a small hexagon beating in between them.
Schools across Orange County are revisiting their safety plans after the Sandy Hook school shooting in December, including in Fountain Valley.
According to Fountain Valley police Chief Daniel Llorens, a school's design doesn't factor into emergency scenarios.
"We have a plan for each individual school site taking into account the individual geographies of each site," Llorens said.
A lieutenant is in the process of reviewing the emergency plan in every school in the city, he said.
Some parents have expressed concerns about the open plan of many of the schools, with some suggesting fencing off school grounds, said Superintendent Marc Ecker.
But Llorens said fences end up "keeping people who wouldn't otherwise do something out of a location" but don't challenge an offender and can impede emergency responders.
"When a parent says, 'I want to be guaranteed this is never going to happen' – we just can't guarantee that, not with the guns that we have today," Ecker said.
– Asher Klein
All the schools but Kazuo Masuda Middle School and Urbain H. Plavan Elementary in the Fountain Valley School District have geometrical designs. This is how they shape up:
7 hexagons – Fulton
6 hexagons – Tamura
5 rectangles – Newland
5 triangles – Cox, Gisler
3 irregular octagons – Oka
2 triangles – Talbert
1 big, ornate diamond – Courreges
Schools with this type of modular design dot Orange County, but nowhere as much as in the Fountain Valley School District. Fulton and Talbert and six more of the district's 10 elementary and middle schools defy the look of an ordered school. Instead they resemble a flower, a spoked wheel or the webbed foot of a strange animal.
Today, the district is fighting budget cuts, and the buildings' unconventional designs could put in overtime as an elementary-school polygon primer. But they recall a "golden era" of school funding in former Gov. Pat Brown's California, said Superintendent Marc Ecker, and a time when a booming Fountain Valley, flush with cash, was seen as an academic leader for its educational philosophy and the design that went with it.
Fountain Valley found itself with the money for a good school system as developers built the area for an impending property boom soon after it was incorporated on June 13, 1957. Fountain Valley School District had one school in 1962 and 19 by 1975, according to Ecker.
Under Superintendent Ed Beaubier, who led the district from 1962 to 1969, the schools embraced collaborative teaching, created a signature computerized-testing system to track student progress and featured supplementary staff such as psychologists and speech therapists.
"When you walked into Fountain Valley schools, you would be able to see the teacher teaching in a small group and a whole bunch of centers that they could go to reinforce learning," Ecker said. "This was also the time when all these studies came out about changing from this traditional way of teaching students in rows and moving toward ... 'We're going to let you choose what you want to do.'"
For teachers to work that way, rooms had to open up to one another and central hubs were to be used as media centers. This required modules, and Beaubier consistently turned to Pasadena architectural firm Carmichael-Kemp to design them.
Visit one of the schools, and you'll still see several classrooms around a "pod" – a room where teachers can trade tips and resources – and movable walls between classrooms, which meant teachers could team up on lessons.
Touting these nontraditional schools and their specialized reading-support program, Beaubier was able to recruit nationally for teachers and attract people to the area, Ecker said. That, in turn, meant more incoming development money for more schools.
It was named a "demonstrative district" by the National Education Administration in 1966, among other accolades. The district licensed its computerized-testing system after it had stopped using it, Ecker said, and its aura still lingers at administrators' conferences.
"People say, 'Oh, Fountain Valley? I've heard of that!'" he said.
Today, the district is still one of the best in the county, but its schools' designs go largely unnoticed. Ecker and Joe Hastie, district maintenance supervisor, hadn't thought much about it until they were asked to interview for this story.
Educational and architectural trends change over the years, and the district began replacing the movable walls by the mid-1970s.
"What they found was that those spoked-wheel plans weren't very flexible later on when, years later, you came back and tried to modernize," Carmichael-Kemp partner Tammy Schaeffer said.
Some have closed, but Fulton and seven other geometrically-designed schools remain open. A couple of teachers working in their shared room at Fulton one Thursday afternoon in January said they only thought about it when reorganizing – laying rows of desks can be a hassle in the angular rooms.
But eighth-grade science teacher Sallie Frank said she used to work at a big, boxy building and found the camaraderie in the pods much better.
"You can share curriculums, you can help each other," she said. "Teachers feed off of other teachers."
The dearth of right angles means the schools take extra work to maintain, according to Hastie.
"We have to know our schools because we have to know how to get from point A to point B to run, say, a telephone line," he said.
The advantage is that his workers have to be craftsmen to keep up the schools' unusual aesthetics, Hastie said.
"I like architecture. There's a certain style to our schools."
How important was school design to pioneering Fountain Valley School District Superintendent Beaubier? A lot.
A week before visitors from Florida, Georgia and Tennessee were due for a tour of Fulton Middle School, the district's flagship, Beaubier found out the school wouldn't be ready, according to Ecker.
"He got authorization from the board, and he told the contractor, they worked 24-hour shifts. It wasn't even ready for kids," Ecker said. "It was only for show. No one was even using it."
It speaks to Beaubier's genius for advertising the district, said Ecker, who was once a student of Beaubier's at Cal State Fullerton.
"That's what created this image," he said. "Many of the things he did were no more effective, and in some cases less, than many of the things we do now."

A Locked Nucleic Acid Clamp-mediated PCR Assay for Detection of a P53 Codon 249 Hotspot Mutation in Urine
The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics : JMD. Sep, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21726666
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a 5-year survival rate of <10% because it is difficult to diagnose early. Mutations in the TP53 gene are associated with approximately 50% of human cancers. A hotspot mutation, a G:C to T:A transversion at codon 249 (249T), may be a potential DNA marker for HCC screening because of its exclusive presence in HCC and its detection in the circulation of some patients with HCC. A locked nucleic acid clamp-mediated PCR assay, followed by melting curve analysis (using the SimpleProbe), was developed to detect the TP53 249T mutation. In this assay, the locked nucleic acid clamp suppressed 10(7) copies of wild-type templates and permitted detection of 249T-mutated template, with a sensitivity of 0.1% (1:1000) of the mutant/wild-type ratio, assessed by a reconstituted standard within 2 hours. With an amplicon size of 41 bp, it detects target DNA sequences in short fragmented DNA templates. The detected mutations were validated by DNA sequencing analysis. We then tested DNA isolated from urine samples of patients with HCC for p53 mutations and identified positive TP53 mutations in 9 of 17 samples. The possibility of using this novel TP53 249T assay to develop a urine or blood test for HCC screening is discussed.
Methylation of the CpG Sites Only on the Sense Strand of the APC Gene is Specific for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
PloS One. 2011 | Pubmed ID: 22073196
Hypermethylation of the promoter of the tumor suppressor gene, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), occurs in various malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, reports on the specificity of the methylation of the APC gene for HCC have varied. To gain insight into how these variations occur, bisulfite PCR sequencing was performed to analyze the methylation status of both sense and antisense strands of the APC gene in samples of HCC tissue, matched adjacent non-HCC liver tissue, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and normal liver tissues. DNA derived from fetal liver and 12 nonhepatic normal tissue was also examined. These experiments revealed liver-specific, antisense strand-biased CpG methylation of the APC gene and suggested that, although methylation of the antisense strand of the APC gene exists in normal liver and other non-HCC disease liver tissue, methylation of the sense strand of the APC gene occurs predominantly in HCC. To determine the effect of the DNA strand on the specificity of the methylated APC gene as a biomarker for HCC detection, quantitative methylation-specific PCR assays for sense and antisense strand DNA were developed and performed on DNA isolated from HCC (n = 58), matched adjacent non-HCC (n = 58), cirrhosis (n = 41), and hepatitis (n = 39). Receiver operating characteristic curves were constructed. With the cutoff value set at the limit of detection, the specificity of sense and antisense strand methylation was 84% and 43%, respectively, and sensitivity was 67.2% and 72.4%, respectively. This result demonstrated that the identity of the methylated DNA strand impacted the specificity of APC for HCC detection. Interestingly, methylation of the sense strand of APC occurred in 40% of HCCs from patients with serum AFP levels less than 20 ng/mL, suggesting a potential role for APC as a biomarker to complement AFP in HCC screening.
Detection of Hypermethylated Vimentin in Urine of Patients with Colorectal Cancer
The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics : JMD. Mar, 2012 | Pubmed ID: 22251609
We demonstrated previously that urine contains low-molecular-weight (LMW) (<300 bp), circulation-derived DNA that can be used to detect cancer-specific mutations if a tumor is present. The goal of this study was to develop an assay to detect the colorectal cancer (CRC)-associated, circulation-derived, epigenetic DNA marker hypermethylated vimentin gene (mVIM) in the urine of patients with CRC. An artificial 18-nucleotide DNA sequence was tagged at the 5' end of the primers of the first PCR cycle to increase the amplicon size, which was then integrated into the primers of the second PCR cycle. A quantitative MethyLight PCR-based assay targeting a 39-nucleotide template was developed and used to quantify mVIM in CRC tissues and matched urine samples. mVIM was detected in 75% of LMW urine DNA samples from patients with CRC (n = 20) and in 10% of urine samples of control subjects with no known neoplasia (n = 20); 12 of 17 LMW urine DNA samples (71%) but only 2 of 17 high-molecular-weight urine DNA samples (12%) from patients with mVIM-positive tissues contained detectable mVIM, suggesting that the mVIM detected in LMW urine DNA is derived from the circulation. The detection of mVIM in urine was significantly associated with CRC compared with controls (P < 0.0001, by Fisher's exact test). A potential urine test for CRC screening using epigenetic markers is discussed.
Impact of the Location of CpG Methylation Within the GSTP1 Gene on Its Specificity As a DNA Marker for Hepatocellular Carcinoma
PloS One. 2012 | Pubmed ID: 22536438
Hypermethylation of the glutathione S-transferase π 1 (GSTP1) gene promoter region has been reported to be a potential biomarker to distinguish hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from other liver diseases. However, reports regarding how specific a marker it is have ranged from 100% to 0%. We hypothesized that, to a large extent, the variation of specificity depends on the location of the CpG sites analyzed. To test this hypothesis, we compared the methylation status of the GSTP1 promoter region of the DNA isolated from HCC, cirrhosis, hepatitis, and normal liver tissues by bisulfite-PCR sequencing. We found that the 5' region of the position -48 nt from the transcription start site of the GSTP1 gene is selectively methylated in HCC, whereas the 3' region is methylated in all liver tissues examined, including normal liver and the HCC tissue. Interestingly, when DNA derived from fetal liver and 11 nonhepatic normal tissue was also examined by bisulfite-PCR sequencing, we found that methylation of the 3' region of the promoter appeared to be liver-specific. A methylation-specific PCR assay targeting the 5' region of the promoter was developed and used to quantify the methylated GSTP1 gene in various diseased liver tissues including HCC. When we used an assay targeting the 3' region, we found that the methylation of the 5'-end of the GSTP1 promoter was significantly more specific than that of the 3'-end (97.1% vs. 60%, p<0.0001 by Fisher's exact test) for distinguishing HCC (n = 120) from hepatitis (n = 35) and cirrhosis (n = 35). Encouragingly, 33.8% of the AFP-negative HCC contained the methylated GSTP1 gene. This study clearly demonstrates the importance of the location of CpG site methylation for HCC specificity and how liver-specific DNA methylation should be considered when an epigenetic DNA marker is studied for detection of HCC.

Report: Mexican Federal Police Fired On CIA Vehicle
A senior U.S. official says there is strong circumstantial evidence that Mexican federal police who fired on a U.S. embassy vehicle, wounding two CIA agents, were working for organized crime on a targeted assassination attempt. A Mexican official with knowledge of the case on the Aug. 24 ambush says that prosecutors are investigating whether the Beltran Leyva Cartel was behind the attack.
The Mexican official said on Tuesday that gang involvement is one of several lines of investigation into the shooting of an armored SUV clearly marked by diplomatic license plates on a rural road near Cuernavaca south of Mexico City.
Federal police have said the shooting was a case of mistaken identity as officers were looking into the kidnapping of a government employee in the same area.

RFK Compass Nearly 50 years ago, Robert F. Kennedy went to New York's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood and saw potential where others saw nothing but burned-out buildings, junkies, teen-age dropouts, rampant crime and racial unrest. By actively engaging financial institutions and business leaders, in partnership with local communities and government agencies, he helped create hope amid despair.
In the summer of 2010, the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights (RFKC) raised these issues with major fiduciaries – including public and corporate pension funds, sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), endowments and foundations – at its conference, "Exploring New Directions in Fiduciary Duty." In response to the active encouragement of those fiduciaries, the RFK Compass Program was institutionalized.
The RFKC works with key partners, including:
For more than four decades, the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights has worked to realize Robert Kennedy's dream of a more just and peaceful world. We care about human rights, the environment and governance. With globalization, corporate behavior in these areas is increasingly relevant. Responsible practices are indicators of thoughtful management, and can mitigate risk and enhance the sustainability of corporate earnings, and, in turn, investment outcomes. As asset owners and shareholders, fiduciaries are in a unique position to influence social, environmental, and human rights practices. The RFK Compass Program helps fiduciaries exercise this influence. |

text: For 10 years this has been a changing landscape under a major and singularly enthusiastic urban project. Today, at the helm of its second phase, are new urban architects led by Marcel Smets and the uapS agency. Once used for cattle grazing, then an industrial heartland of soap factories, shipyards and sea-trade, it has today a new lease of life. A veritable reawakening of housing, services, shops, places to hang out, industrial heritage, sea-faring or port, a working past and contemporary architecture; a real cultural melting-pot.

Check AvailabilityOverview of Norwalk
The thriving community of Norwalk is the ideal place for residents to settle down with their families, build a business or retire. This historic Connecticut city has something to offer everyone, and it won't be hard for residents to find a place for themselves within this exciting community.
This desirable city offers residents a range of housing options within its borders, including a number of Norwalk apartments for rent.
Living in Norwalk, CT
Fairfield County was discovered by European settlers in the early 1600s. In the 1630s, Puritans living in Massachusetts came to the area and several towns set up the government necessary to form an official colony.
Norwalk was the center of anti-English activities and demonstrations during the American Revolution. Because of the patriotic activities taking place there, British troops attempted to burn down the entire city during the Battle of Norwalk, one of the largest battles in Connecticut during the war.
This area of Connecticut also played a role in the Civil War. The state abolished slavery in 1848, and sided with the Union during the war. It supplied the Union army with nearly 60,000 troops, who fought to keep the country together.
Today, the historic waterfront community is a thriving city with nearly 86,500 residents. It is a large and important community in Connecticut, as well as a commuter city in the New York metropolitan area.
Norwalk Work and Study
Students seeking a two-year degree in Norwalk can attend classes at Norwalk Community College, which has served the city since 1961. With a variety of degree and certificate programs, students can find a course of study to suit their needs and interests. With a goal of academic excellence in the community, NCC stands out to those looking for an associate degree.
Norwalk is more than just a college town, however. Several large organizations employ many local residents. The city of Norwalk is the largest employer in the area, followed by Norwalk Health Services Corporation, Stew Leonard's, MBI, Diageo and Hewitt Associates.
Rentals in Norwalk, CT, and Cost of Living
Apartments in Norwalk tend to range between $1,000 and $2,000 per month. The median gross monthly rent in the city is $1,281, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Though rental properties in the area may be more than some residents are accustomed to, Norwalk's close proximity to New York makes it the ideal community for many commuters or those who want to be close to the big city.
Norwalk Attractions and Special Events
Residents will find plenty to keep them occupied in Norwalk. During the summer, the city hosts a range of events that are sure to please every member of the community. The Norwalk Summer Series gives residents the opportunity to enjoy frequent summer concerts. There are a variety of different styles on different evenings, from kids music to classic rock. The city also hosts outdoor summer movie events for families to enjoy.
Because Norwalk is right on the water, it's easy to get outdoors and enjoy the warm days on the beach. Calf Pasture Beach and Shady Beach both offer residents the chance to enjoy the city's shore. There's a lot to do besides swim at these beaches - many like to also take advantage of the boat rentals, picnic areas, volleyball courts and nearby playground.
Veteran's Memorial Park and Marina is an area where lots of residents spend their leisure time. This 35-acre park offers recreational activities, such as boat rentals, a soccer field, volleyball courts and baseball diamonds. Those who'd prefer to relax can stroll along the walking paths or boardwalk overlooking Norwalk Harbor and stop for a snack at the concession stand.
Those looking to experience Norwalk's past can stop at Fodor Farm, a historic landmark in the city. The farm serves as a reminder of Norwalk's roots as a small agricultural town. Today Fodor Farm is being restored and is home to organic community gardens.

Cibrian was then married to Brandi Glanville and Rimes had been married for seven years to Dean Sheremet. Rimes says she doesn't like to say she regrets her actions, but wishes that all the people her and Cibrian hurt could be happy. She sure has come far since her 90's hit career.

Bonded neodymium magnets are manufactured from an Isotropic material which is compression moulded and can be machined into complex shapes. The major advantage over other Rare Earth magnets is it can be magnetised in any direction, and have multi poles. The one disadvantage is it is poor resistance to corrosion so should not be used in a moisture or hostile environment.

Pretty bad condition...makes you wonder how it's still standing. Great shots n love your edit on the last one!
That poor barn! It needs some work...
Love those colors and textures, Tricia.
Now that is quite a barn. It looks like a piece of artwork the way you photographed it so beautifully!
So glad that Landon is doing better!
You found a great barn! I love the way the barn wood is showing and the other siding is peeling off.
Awesome work, Tricia. You turned these dilapidated barns into work of photographic art. I love the processing technique you used whatever is it. Each one is impressive in its own way. Am so glad they are still standing so you could photograph them. Thank goodness Landon is better. I know you were so concerned. genie
This old barn is just peeling off in layers, isn't it!
I too like the word "plethora" and one of its antonyms, "dearth."
I don't know, I'm loving the beat up look of this barn. I'm so glad to hear Landon is doing wonderfully.
Wow, this is a real Charmer!! Wonderful colors and I wish it was in my back yard.
So glad to hear that he is doing better. Prayers continued.
Sad-sad-sad and yet glorious. What stories it might tell. MB
I agee with Theresa about "barnage" and "fencery." ;-) This is one fascinating barn....I'm really curious about the white parts!
I love the color and the texture too. Happy Monday.
Barn Charm
Wow that is just crazy :)
That's a rugged looking barn with marvelous textures and wood grain. It is eye-catching! Fine post.
That poor old barn has certainly seen better days.
I don't think this barn will make it through the next wind storm. But I still love the pictures.
Great shots and editing!! Lovin Barn Charm,,,thanks for hosting it :)
That is one of the roughest looking barns I have ever seen. Being shingled is a bit unusual for a barn I would think.
What an interesting barn. Especially the way the underlying wood runs at an angle. It must have been quite a sight in its heyday.
Glad that your nephew is home and doing better.
That is such a cool old barn! I love all the different ways you captured it...wonderful work!
I love that barn, Tricia! That is fantastic! It has tons of character. Great, great photos!
Happy to hear Landon is doing better!
This barn has lots of neat patterns and textures. Beautiful captures and amazing post processing Tricia!
I'm glad that your nephew Landon is much better.
Your barn photos are very good.
Regards and best wishes
I LOVE the new words! This barn must have been quite a beauty in her day - but even now, as the paint is peeling and the boards are rotting, there is a charm that cannot be denied. And I really like what you did with the last photograph! Again, thank you for hosting Barn Charm - I really enjoy it!
Love this barn! This one is living the remainder of its life with flair---the patched places/plain wood against the red adds pattern and pizazz---kind of like an old guy with a checked sport coat, bow tie, and Fred Astaire hat or an elderly lady with a patterned caftan and colorful jewelry. My imagination is on overdrive, I guess.
oh wow, that is a gorgeous barn tricia...love the pattern....so happy that cute landon is on the mend!
That one has definitely seen better days, hasn't it? Love what's left of the red paint!
Tricia poor old barn! A blustery Pooh like kind of wind could hurt her. Love your shots and the texture of the wood and the brick shingle like siding is amazing and eye catching. Love your editing too.
Glad Landon is doing well! Hip Hip HooRay!!
Interesting that they sided the barn with the lumber running diagonal to the center line...
SO glad for Landon and the whole family!
Amazing and kinda eerie how the paint is coming off that barn!!
My oh my, love the light in your first frame!
I immediately saw a patchwork quilt. What a majestic barn. Here's to hoping someone loves her enough to give her a facelift.
Once again my little barn link didn't load correctly. I must be doing something wrong!
Looks like a peeling sunburn. I like the first shot where the old gal is sitting all alone out in the field.
I love old barns!
Every one of them is beautiful!
Deborah :)
What a fascinating barn you feature this week; I am intrigued by the "skin" peeling away to reveal the chevron construction beneath.
Great deconstruction!
Love this blog party -- thanks!
Wowee-wow-wow! So much character is this crazy quilt barn. Pretty amazing. Glad to hear Landon is doing better.
I love these!!
It's like a crazy quilt! I love all the patches.
wow, it's really neat how the old siding (shingling?) is pealing off to reveal the unique angle of the boards. i would have hated to cover those in the first place. (but i suppose barn-building are thinking function over visual appeal.)
...and i just read your word verify description! that's pretty interesting, AND sneaky. i had no idea. thanks for cluing me in!
Aha! Love the word plethora.
Great barn Tricia, though I think it's sadly lacking in lovin'. Now I'm back from my blogging break I'll be on the lookout for barns, fences and the like... hubby had 2 weeks off work in another week, so we will be out exploring :)
I absolutely love the barn photos! I wish someone would make a coffee table book of 'old barns'.
Absolutley stunning!!!

Thousands of children in the United States suffer from muscular dystrophy and the experience can sometimes alienate them from their peers.
However, one Anchorage school set about trying to bridge that gap with a unique project.
Fitting in is one of the most important things for a sixth grader but it can be hard when you're a sixth grader who gets around in a wheelchair.
When Krista Stapleford was three years old she was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, which impacts her ability to use all of the muscles in her body, particularly her legs.
So in order to get around, 12-year-old Krista relies on a wheelchair, but that means she stands out and not necessarily in a good way.
"I noticed Krista would be sitting over by herself and maybe one child would go over and sit by her and all the rest of my very nice, regular, happy sixth graders that, weren't unkind, were completely isolating her," said Krista's teacher Judy Morookian at Grace Christian School.
Krista says no one teased her and she didn't feel discriminated against because of her disability but said the other kids didn't think to could include her because "they didn't really know what to do" with her.
The Muscular Dystrophy Association made a suggestion: What if each of Krista's peers were to spend a day in a wheelchair?
"You can never figure out what that person's life is like until you step into their shoes," said Krista.
And so began The Wheelchair Project at Grace Christian School last fall.
Allie Jarvis, a student who participated in The Wheelchair Project, said the experience was "cool" but recognized challenges like getting into her desk and walking through the hall to class because other students would look at her "weird."
As the school year progressed, the bond between Krista and her peers grew stronger.
Another participant, Grace Christian School student Sophie Gross said, "I fully understand how hard it is for Krista and it was just one day but it was her whole life going through that."
Krista said her classmates now make more of an effort to try to include her in everyday sixth grade activities.
The result: more compassionate sixth-graders.
"Don't judge anybody by any disabilities that they have," said Jack McLaughlin, another student who participated in The Wheelchair Project.
And it's a lesson that's gone beyond the sixth-grade classroom.
Morookian said the experience "impacted our entire school."
"You can't judge a person by their cover because you'll never get to know them," Krista said.
The sixth graders and their teacher at Grace Christian School hope that more schools will participate in The Wheelchair Project.

Turn wish for Happy New Year into reality
An Oklahoma City psychologist gives advice on how to live a happier life.
Millions of holiday revelers will shout "Happy new year!" when the last second of December ticks away and 2013 is born.
It's a simple wish, a public prayer. For some of us, it's also a resolution. This year we're going to be happier. We won't be so negative, stressed out, judgmental and fearful. This year we'll change for the better.

But how can we make that happen?
Dr. S. Renee Orcutt, an Oklahoma City psychologist, has some ideas about that.
Actively choose happiness
Bad things happen to everyone. Some events — a death in the family, financial difficulties — are genuinely terrible. It's hard to find any good in them.
Not every worrisome event is so devastating, though. You can choose to dwell on the negatives or seek out the positives.
"Watch your own self-talk, the thoughts you feed yourself inside your head," Orcutt said. "Become your own internal coach. How can I look at this in a more positive light? What are the good things I can take from this situation?"
Keep a "happy journal," she suggested, and fill it each day with things that make you smile or feel good about yourself.
The goal is to avoid catastrophic thinking, in which one negative thought leads to another and another, setting off a chain reaction of negativity that can send you spiraling into helplessness and fear.
"Don't just expect happiness to come to you," she said. "Actively seek it out. Encode it in your own head."
Live in the here and now
Unhappy people rarely live in the moment, Orcutt said. Instead, they stare into the past, thinking about regrets and failures and the things they've lost, or try to look into the future, anticipating potential problems and expecting the worst.
"We let the sorrows of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow drag us down," she said. "Live in the moment. Let go of so many worries."
Happier people manage to tune out the background noise and focus on what's going on right now, whether it's a boardroom meeting or an evening out with friends. If the moment is bad, it passes soon enough, replaced by another and another.
"Some people naturally think more this way than others," Orcutt said. "Deeper thinkers have more of a struggle with this."

Robert H. Shmerling, M.D., is associate physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. He has been a practicing rheumatologist for over 20 years at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He is an active teacher in the Internal Medicine Residency Program, serving as the Robinson Firm Chief. He is also a teacher in the Rheumatology Fellowship Program.
People often hear clicking and other noises arising in their joints. There often is no significant problem with the joint or surrounding tissues. Or the noises can be associated with joint damage, inflammation or injury.
The hip can make a clicking sound (or cause a sensation of clicking) for many reasons. It could be:
For your age, the most common cause is likely the iliotibial band syndrome. It's a painful condition in which a large tendon (the iliotibial band, a major hip flexor) rubs over a bone that sticks out along the front or outside of the hip. The first choice of treatment is usually physical therapy, adjustments in your exercise program (for example, less running and more swimming), and anti-inflammatory medications or pain relievers.
Femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) is another common cause of hip clicking in young adults. With FAI, an abnormal shape of the bones of the hip puts stress on the bones so the joints don't move smoothly. This may be a form of dysplasia.
Joint noises aren't usually serious. Unless your joint hurts, locks (gets stuck in one position) or feels unstable, treatment may not be necessary. And it may go away on its own. If you have pain or other symptoms, though, it's worth getting your hip checked out.

As many Detroiters already know, our murder rate is at an all time high in 2012 so far. Many are taking to the streets to re-claim our culture-rich neighborhoods from the prevalent gang infested blocks that take innocent lives away with violence.
See what Channel 4 had to say about this:
We had an absolutely inspiring and amazing time on Sunday September 9th 2012, walking down Vernor St. in Southwest Detroit, a traditionally parade route.
We turned heads with our chants of peace and protests of resolution to the community. There were tons of supporters and in Clark Park at the end, we had an uplifting and warm experience as we grieved and celebrated the lives of our fallen loved ones.
Rosie was one of many community members who have been slain to violence and as a single voice, we decided that enough is enough. We're taking back our streets.
BUT, the important thing to remember is to put your words to work. Actions will support the movement, not postings or LIKES or photos posted on walls. So take with you today our message of peace and unity. Respect one another and always speak up for the less fortunate. In times of need, would you want someone to help you? Or continue walking on by as if you are none of their business.
Think about it. And join Southwest Detroit Pride in their efforts!

Dog fans rally round to help Fifield family take pet to Australia (From Witney Gazette)

Dog fans rally round to help Fifield family take pet to Australia
6:00pm Thursday 6th September 2012 in News By Oliver Evans, covering Banbury. Call me on 01865 425271
THE Wheeler family were devastated when they found out they could not afford to take their beloved dog Molly with them for their new life in Australia.
So when the community behind the rare cross breed found out, they sprang into action to raise cash towards the £3,500 transport and quarantine costs.
Now they are calling on kind-hearted animal lovers to raise the funds by the end of this month so the five-year-old floppy-eared Springbatt can join her masters Down Under.
Mum-of-three Natalie Wheeler said she couldn't stop crying when the family discovered the cost of taking Molly to Melbourne, where automotive engineer husband George is taking up a new job.
She said: "I was walking around the supermarket a blubbering wreck.
"For the family it would be devastating, the children adore her."
Mrs Wheeler mentioned her plight to Pam Hurn, the Cambridgeshire breeder she bought Molly from in 2007.
The tale made its way on to a message board run by the breeder and owners were galvanised into action, raising £1,200 so far.
Cash has come in from donations but also fundraising ideas like dog biscuit sales, a who-is-the-cutest-Springbatt photo competition and even a tea towel adorned with the doe-eyed dogs.
Mrs Wheeler, mum to Jessica, 12, Amelia, nine, and Edward, three, said: "To say that we are overwhelmed by the fundraising is an understatement.
"The kindness people have shown, the things people are doing and the measures they are going to has taken our breath away. It means the world to us."
The family from Fifield, west Oxfordshire, fly out on October 21 but are leaving their home in the first week of next month.
Their eldest daughter said the idea of losing Molly was "unimaginable".
She said: "She has been through so much with us. It feels unreal."
Mrs Hurn said: "Natalie contacted me distressed, in tears.
"As a bit of a joke somebody put on the message board 'why don't we have a quick whip round from here?' "It is very close knit, it is like a big family."
There are thought to be 150 of the breed, a basset hound and springer spaniel cross, in the UK.
Mrs Hurn said: "Molly is lovely, she is typical of one of our dogs, she has a very sweet temperament."
Paypal donations are welcomed. Go online for more information about the breed.

Sonoma County health department gets $3.5 million federal boost
Published: Friday, September 28, 2012 at 3:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 28, 2012 at 3:18 p.m.
Sonoma County's Health Services Department has received a $3.5 million federal grant to support a wide range of health and wellness programs and initiatives, county officials announced Friday.
More than half of the money in the two-year grant will go to nonprofit organizations and other non-government entities that will carry out much of the work.
The initiatives are focused on youth suicide prevention, diabetes and high blood pressure detection, local food production, worksite wellness for farmworkers, safe routes to school and a media campaign combating tobacco use and consumption of sugary drinks.
The other portion of the grant will support new and expanded health, wellness and policy efforts run through the county health department.
County officials cheered the award, saying such broadly focused programs are critical to tackling chronic health issues that cannot be solved simply at the doctor's office.
"Establishing a healthy community is way beyond just the care of health providers," said Rita Scardaci, director of the county's Health Services Department. "It's about many factors: where you live, access to healthy foods, education, employment, income."
"This is excellent news for our community," said Mary Maddux Gonzalez, the county's former public health officer, now CEO of Redwood Community Health Coalition. The network of clinics is in line for about $180,000 from the grant to improve and expand patient education, screening and treatment for high blood pressure.
The grant money comes from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control as part of a program authorized by the federal health care overhaul, known as the Affordable Care Act.
About $70 million was awarded this week in the latest cycle. The 40 Community Transformation Grants went to local governments and other entities in communities under 500,000 people. A previous grant cycle focused on communities over 500,000 people. Sonoma County's population is about 490,000.
The award for Sonoma County was a win for a newly created policy and planning division of the health department. Amid some dispute over its cost, the 30-member team was created in October, in part to guide the county through changes resulting from health care reform.
"It's a validation for everything we want to do and the vision we have for the community," said Peter Rumble, who oversees the team as the county's director of health policy.
The planning group spent about a month putting together the 115-page grant proposal. The programs will employ an additional six staff members inside the roughly 500-employee Health Services Department, the county's third largest by personnel behind Human Services and the Sheriff's office. Health Services' annual budget is about $234 million, most of it federal and state funds.
When the grant expires in 2014 the department should have resources to maintain the additional staff and bolstered programs, Scardaci said.
Projects in the grant package follow the work of a five-year-old public-private health promotion effort known as Sonoma County Health Action. The venture's stated goal is to make the county the healthiest in California by 2020. Measures include educational attainment, literacy and obesity rates, levels of physical exercise, healthy eating habits, incidence of mental health and access to health coverage and primary care.
Years of work on those benchmarks gave the county a head start building support for preventative health care and likely gave it a leg up in the grant process, said Scardaci.
"These are already areas we're working on," she said. "This (grant) will allow us to work more aggressively and deeply in these areas."
The projects that will involve community groups or other outside contractors include:
• $20,000 to the Sonoma County Bike Coalition for expansion of the Safe Routes to Schools program.
• $200,000 to the YMCA for development of a countywide diabetes prevention program.
• $180,000 to the Community Alliance for Family Farmers and other partners for work geared toward incorporating more locally grown food into school meals.
• $150,000 to expand physical education training for elementary teachers and thereby combat high obesity rates among adolescents. Contractor will be selected in bid process.
• $75,000 to boost "Baby Friendly" training at the county's five delivery hospitals.
• $75,000 for expansion of St. Joseph Health System's worksite wellness program at vineyards and wineries.
• $160,000 to Sonoma State University to develop a course on urban planning and design promoting community health.
• $300,0000 for suicide prevention and early psychosis detection in adolescent and teenage youth, to be carried out in schools, sports leagues and clubs by UC San Francisco's medical school.
