Guest blogger Aaron Carlino is a web developer who is better known in the SilverStripe community by his whimsical pseudonym Uncle Cheese. Aaron has been doing web development since 2005, and found his niche in SilverStripe programming after an exhaustive search for a content management solution that was welcoming to developers and would stay out of his way. Since then, he has established a strong reputation in the SilverStripe community as a mentor, support provider, and, most notably, a contributor to some of the application's most popular modules.
I love good design. I say that with all the humility and candor of an admitted addict, because there's a certain amount of inner betrayal that it makes me feel. In my heart I'm a coder, but the truth is, nothing excites me quite like good design. I don't know why it is, but I have a few ideas. Maybe, for instance, it's because it's not something I'm naturally good at. I've been blessed with many great talents in my life, but the unspoken curse of the talented is that, while we're stimulated by the things we do well, we are also perennially plagued by the things we can't do well. These things remain open, unfinished conquests, and we consequently elevate them to a higher echelon of respect and worship. That's how design is to me. I want to be good at it, but I know I never will be, and I'm therefore forever in its admiration.
It seems to me there's something much bigger going on here, though. My love of good design isn't just about some quirky hang-up rooted in a guilty coder's conscience.
Good design is something all of us should respect and admire in our quests to create great websites and web applications, and here are three reasons why.
1. Good Design Begets Good (Anything Else)
Good design is motivating – it's inspiring. Good design sets a tone. It informs us of the level of care and attention we should give to a project. When design comes first, the rhythm, pace and attitudinal patterns of a project are established, and all of that energy is propelled into the production phase, where it furnishes a great product.
At Bluehouse Group, we're fortunate to enjoy the talent of what I consider a top-notch art director. Josh Turner has been with us for a number of years, and I haven't seen much of anything leave his desk that isn't done with a high degree of finesse, strategy, and exceptional aptitude. I've learned that the best thing about working with a great art director is that he has the power to shape everyone's attitude about a project and motivate us to do it extremely well.
When I get my eyes on the approved designs for an upcoming project, I feel like a fine carpenter reviewing the blueprints for a dazzling room with an ocean view. I look forward to being challenged to think differently. I welcome the responsibility of making a great idea come to life.
Along those same lines, I have thoroughly enjoyed the approach that SilverStripe has taken with the upcoming 3.0 release of its CMS. All along the way, SilverStripe has kept an open channel of communication to its base of users and stakeholders, keeping us updated with the plans for the major release. Then, in the spring, they posted scores of high-quality designs to their public Github repository. The response was overwhelming. The community was energized and excited about the future of SilverStripe. We couldn't wait to get our hands on it, and developers were asking what they could do to help push the release date closer. To this day, in those rare moments where I feel ambivalent about SilverStripe, I refer myself to those designs, and it revives the batty-eyed infatuation I've had for the product since 2007.
Good design has a power over us. It is the point at which an in-vitro idea, held captive in the abstract realm is born into the physical world. Like any newborn being, we welcome it, care for it, and allow it to grow up and become something great.
2. Good Design Prevents Broken Windows
New York City, 1985 -- Mayor Rudy Giuliani, in a desperate attempt to slow the rapidly accelerating crime rate, consulted George Kelling, author of the book Fixing Broken Windows: Restoring Order and Reducing Crime in Our Communities to help develop a strategy to reduce crime. Keller was armed with a very compelling theory. He suggested that when urban environments appear to be poorly cared for on the outside, they invite bad behavior and mischief on the inside. That is, by staying on top of the basic hygiene of a human habitat – fixing broken windows, removing graffiti, cleaning sidewalks, fining the turnstile jumpers at the subway station – it sends the message that the place is cared for and respected, and the reduction in violent crime will subsequently fall.
Giuliani committed to it, and while the results were highly debated among criminologists and politicians, it is hard to deny that crime was reduced significantly, and continued to fall for the next ten years.
So what does this say about the importance of design? As humans, we're hardwired to glorify and nurture the things that merit our affection, and to impoverish the things that don't. Good design is a brand new city – free of broken windows – that demands our respect. It asks for nothing less than our best work.
When we give less than our best work, the proverbial "broken windows" start to arise, and it's hard to turn things around. We've all been part of projects like this:
Client: I need this widget on the home page.
Designer: OK. I'm concerned about how it will work with the rest of the elements on the page. Let me make a couple of comps for you and you can tell me what treatment you like.
Client: I don't have time for that. Just stick it somewhere.
A "stick it here" and a "stick it there" later, the design has fallen into disrepair. It becomes progressively harder to keep the site beautiful, and progressively easier to commit "crimes" such as jamming a widget where it doesn't belong. Why? Because every subsequent developer who touches the site is informed that the bar has been lowered for this project, and he sees diminishing returns for investing time into it.
To this end, at Bluehouse Group, nearly every change we make to a website goes through design first. Even if it's just for 15 minutes, we always consult our design team. The result? Our sites remain beautiful, and always worthy of our care.
3. The Design is the Product
George Carlin once quipped while explaining his spirituality, "I worship the sun. Why? Well, first of all, I can see the sun. That kind of, you know, helps the credibility along."
OK, so he's not the most pious fellow in the world, but he does make a good point. We're visual people. We get sold on things that look good. Just look around. Television and the Internet are dominant media. Politicians are good looking. E-commerce websites spend big money on interactive photo features for their products. There's no doubt about it -- we eat with our eyes.
Code, on the other hand, is a bit of a thankless job. 99.9% of visitors to a website are not going to look at the underlying HTML/CSS and JavaScript, and none of them are going to see the server-side code. Quite frankly, most of the people whose opinions really matter about a website don't care about the elegance of the code. They only care when it breaks. They're much more interested in how things look – then, now, and in the future.
Even though we should know better, we're all guilty of disproportionately favoring the visual to the hidden. When buying a new home, we get sold on granite countertops, stainless steel, and hardwood floors. We understand these things, and we have the tools to evaluate them. When we hear that the electrician did a supreme job on the wiring, if such a thing is mentioned at all, we're nonplussed. We think, "Well, I would hope so!" This is because most of us don't have a means of evaluating electrical handiwork, so we take it for granted.
We're visual people, and we can all identify what looks good and what looks bad. Design is easy to sell. Good code, on the other hand, simply satisfies an abstract requirement that the buyer does not understand and therefore cannot value.
Unfair, isn't it, coders?
Defining good design comes with all of the hurdles and trappings of trying to define something like happiness. It's an abstract and impossible task. We all have our perspective, however, so here's the definition of good design from a guy who doesn't know a layer mask from a lasagna.
Good design is frictionless. Steve Krug's best-selling Bible of usability Don't Make Me Think was successful because it emulated its very title. It's painless and easy to read. Thinking isn't something that jibes really well with the web. People use the web to find information, and they want it fast. Thinking is a huge roadblock to finding information, and should be saved for slower-paced media like newspapers, books, and movies. Good design is uncluttered and puts information behind as few clicks as possible. Good design understands the way the human eye relays information to the brain, and is optimized to make it an efficient and enjoyable process.
Good design is beautiful. It's not as subjective as you think. Beautiful web design is easy to identify. It has a lightweight and harmonious color scheme. It aligns to an exacting grid and breaks it for dramatic effect where appropriate. It never places too much contrast between text and background, and it never, ever uses the hexadecimal #000.
Good design doesn't need color. Color is an ancillary component to a good design. When rendered greyscale, a good design is functionally lossless. With such a high level of importance placed on its organization and typography, color is merely an enhancement to a good design. A good design is well equipped to live in a black-and-white world.
Good design is subtle. Designers should heed the same rule for Photoshop effects that many women follow when wearing makeup: "If they can tell you're using it, you've used too much." We've all seen inappropriate and excessive application of graphic technique. It comes in the form of rainbow gradients, hovercraft drop shadows, arbitrary curvature, do-nothing textures, and lighting effects that suggest there are four suns. Good design doesn't need to clue you into its bag of tricks. It's humble, and it has nothing to prove.
Whether you're a programmer, front-end developer, project manager, or anyone else involved in making a website come to life, you can profit from allowing design to guide your decision-making and inspiration. If you're a solo developer and you're not skilled with design, consider hiring a designer before settling on doing it yourself. You may be surprised by how many talented designers are out there who are looking to build a portfolio and will work for low cost. Design is almost always worth the investment. If we collectively place a higher importance and value on quality design, we can make the web a much more inviting and enjoyable place that is deserving of our care.
I found this post very interesting. Geeks who can see the big picture are rare animals -- probably destined for top management in companies that really make a difference. The post reminded me of the book "The Mythical Man Month", by Frederick Brooks.
In this book, Brooks likens the sort of team required for a big software product like his IBM OS360 with a surgical team, made up of diverse talents. Some of the people on the team might seem to be
doing quite trivial and unimportant work -- like keeping records or keeping a running tally of the tools that the surgeons are using.
But if nobody does that job, you are going to have the patient
sewn up with some of the tools left inside ;-) So a really successful big project requires a diversity of "skills" working together. Without building such a diverse team you can't take on really big projects. Organization and diversity and the right balance of talents is what makes the difference -- a team of reasonably talented people working together as a team can "often" (or even "usually") beat a single very talented individual working alone. "The whole is worth far more than the sum of the parts".

These are good points, the second out especially stands out, but they all effectively work, to my mind. Unfortunately, I am not much of a designer, but it is never late to try.

Well. I used to be a designer myself. At the very start of my career. So I truly understand your message. You gave those youngsters some good advice. You should be proud.
Posted by flac to mp3 converter, 3 years ago @MarkSheppard
I never really thought of it before, but after reading this I have to agree about the importance of a good design. I like how you mentioned design in terms of coding but you also expanded it to include Giuliani's design for fixing the crime problem in New York. Whether a person or company is creating a program, performing a service, or planning for the future, putting time and care into the overall design will ultimately help lead to the best end result.

Panhandle Coop Expanding In Alliance
Panhandle Cooperative is expanding in Box Butte County. Strong sales has caused the area cooperative to outgrow their Berea location. The Panhandle Cooperative Association is announcing their purchase of 14.2 acres to build a new facility in Alliance.
In an interview with KNEB/Rural Radio Network, Crop Production Division Manager Greg France says construction will begin next week on the state of the art fertilizer plant.
Fertilizer from this plant will be distributed to their customers at other locations in the Nebraska Panhandle and Eastern Wyoming.
Spokesman Susan Wiedeman says that a huge increase in the company's agronomy business over the last three years in Box Butte County justifies the expansion.
Wiedeman says Panhandle Coop's seven-year-old Berea office, which employs 7 people, will be relocated to Alliance, which will employ up to 15 people.
In early May, the Alliance City Council approved two conditional use permits for Panhandle Coop to install two water wells at the site.
A groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, June 13, 10:30am northwest side of Alliance at County 61 and Madison Road. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed by September 1st.

OK Glass, RIP Privacy: The Democratization Of Surveillance
Simplee Combines Mint.com And PayPal To Bring Medical Bill Payment, Management To Your Smartphone
How's this for synchronicity: Google Glass started shipping on the same week that CISPA passed the House, 3DRobotics unveiled their new site, and 4chan and Reddit pored over surveillance photos trying to crowdsource the identity of the Boston bombers.
Cameras on phones. Cameras on drones. Cameras on glasses. Cameras atop stores, in ATMs, on the street, on lapels, up high in the sky. Modern cars log detailed data their manufacturers can access if they so desire. Oh, and "if you carry a phone, your location is being recorded every minute of every day."
In 1999, Sun CEO Scott McNealy said: "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it." Sadly, that sounds more prophetic every week.
I've been arguing for years that "Soon enough, pseudonymity and anonymity will only exist online; in the real world…they'll be more or less extinct." The hunt for the Boston bombers is to the coming world of surveillance as a 1980s PC is to a modern server farm. Facial recognition, gait recognition, drones the size of dragonflies — all here already. Just imagine twenty years from now. Every step you take outside will automatically be tracked, indexed, and correlated to all of your previous activity ever.
One can reasonably dispute whether the collective crowdsourced 4chan/Reddit attempt to identify the Boston bomber was a good thing or not, and interesting people are engaged in both sides of just that argument –

Gus Silber (@gussilber) April 19, 2013
A lot of people (just read the comments on my last Google Glass post) are seriously squicked by the possibility of individual video surveillance, but are essentially OK with being watched by governments or corporations. I think that is an extremely wrong and dangerous attitude, because I believe one-way transparency will inevitably breed corruption and abuse.
I am not in favor of the death of personal privacy in public spaces. I just think it's inevitable. Soon enough cameras and surveillance software will be ubiquitous. There are already terrified voices, eg Farhad Manjoo's, crying for "installing surveillance cameras everywhere" on the eyebrow-raising grounds that "we're already being watched—just not systematically".
And that's why–despite its potentially undesirable social side effects–I'm a cheerleader for Google Glass and its ilk. If transparency will be forced on us, then it needs to be two-way transparency. It's a given that the strong and rich will be able to watch the weak and poor; we need to ensure that the converse is possible as well. We need to democratize surveillance, and Google Glass is the first of a new kind of tool which can help us do just that.
As the book "Cypherpunks" by my friend @ioerror et al says what we need is to democratize massive crypto tools #cd13—
Renata Avila (@avilarenata) March 18, 2013
For instance, I'd like law enforcement, border patrol, the TSA, and other authorities to wear Glass-like cameras at all time, and for that video to be accessible by the public when the abuse of authority is alleged. Interestingly, there's now some real data supporting that stance: "Even with only half of the 54 uniformed patrol officers wearing cameras at any given time, the department over all had an 88 percent decline in the number of complaints filed against officers."
In the words of the ACLU:
We don't like the networks of police-run video cameras that are being set up in an increasing number of cities. We don't think the government should be watching over the population en masse. [but] When it comes to the citizenry watching the government, we like that.
Giving the public some access to police footage isn't enough, though. We need the people to be able to watch and record their government, just as their government keeps them under constant surveillance. Unfortunately, that inevitably also means that individuals can and will frequently surveil and record each other. Which means bullying, stalking, trolling, and doxing on, well, almost a New York Post scale:
Becoming hard to tell difference between credible news organizations like 4chan and troll sites like New York Post.—
Nate Silver (@fivethirtyeight) April 19, 2013
I'm not happy about any of this. But drastically increased surveillance in public places is inevitable. Sorry. It's just going to be too cheap, too easy, too convenient, and too reassuring to too many. Two-way transparency, however, will be a huge battle. The powers that be have every incentive to foster a moral panic about the stalker evils of personal cameras like Google Glass, and crowdsourced surveillance like that of 4chan and Reddit.
Again, I don't actually think either is necessarily desirable in and of themselves. But I fear that they're the price we'll have to pay to have a society relatively free of systematic hierarchical abuse of authority and power — because, more and more, we live in a world where privacy is power.

Even though Watershed moved to Buckhead more than a year ago, reinventing itself in a more polished milieu, I doubt I'm the only one who had trouble picturing another restaurant in its original Decatur location, a converted gas station with walls painted a soothing shade of celery. What new venture could possibly reboot the space? The answer came in March in a blast of colors and spices, when Meherwan and Molly Irani imported a second location of their Asheville, North Carolina, sensation, serving playful riffs on Indian-style street snacks. Bye-bye, soothing celery; hello, racy scarlet. Their food is made for sharing. Pile your plates full of wispy okra fries, bhel puri (puffed rice and other crisp tidbits tossed with onions and cilantro and lashed with chutneys), samosas, and crunchy kale pakoras. Featured curries on the vegetarian and non-veg thali platters change daily. If you find it's a dish typical for the average Indian restaurant, like saag paneer, skip it. If it's a chicken and peanut curry from the Andhra Pradesh region or a coconut-rich Goan fish curry, pounce. I tend to most avidly champion Indian restaurants that uphold authentic-minded cooking, but it's mighty hard to feel sanctimonious when I'm stuffing my face full of Bombay chili cheese fries smothered in spiced lamb hash.

PEORIA, Ill. -- She's barely old enough to sit behind the wheel, and already one central Illinois girl has given back to her community more than most of us do in a lifetime.
Friday, Peoria Congressman Aaron Schock presented 17 year-old Aditi Warhekar with the Congressional Award.
Typically, one earns such hardware by completing upwards of 200 hours of community service.
Aditi-- through her work with area hospitals-- completed more than 400.
"I love volunteering. It's so much fun. You get to meet so many amazing people, and you get to see the impact you're making," says Aditi. "And it's fun being able to work at all these different places and learn different things."
U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock called her award "a win-win. It's something I've encouraged young people to do in high school to get that experiential learning firsthand before they go spending a lot of time, energy and money getting a college degree that they may not be happy doing the field of study or doing the job once they get the college degree."
And the experience volunteering in hospitals will go a long way for this ambitious young woman.
She plans on going into medicine one day.

Award winner of CD of the Year, 2014 - Folk-country
by the Rural Roots Music Commission
Mary Beth's music is influenced by the rural farmland and forests of her Wisconsin upbringing and the Rocky Mountains where she currently resides. Her new release Beyond Good and Evil is a folk Americana collection of original and cover tunes. It is inspired by the spirit and grit of the pioneers that blazed the trail from the east to the west in search of what they treasured most. Beauty, adventure, land to call their own, new opportunities for work, and freedom from oppression are all part of the collective tapestry of a country that continues to forge on and grow despite great adversity.
The choices, sacrifice and yearning for a place that feels like home remains timeless.

Oaks Christian wins TVL swim titles
MALIBU — The Oaks Christian School boys and girls swimming teams celebrated Tri-Valley League championships on Friday.
The boys have won the league title every year since 2004 and the girls have won four straight championships.
The Lions rolled up 347 points to easily beat Villanova's boys with 247. Nordhoff was third with 234 and Malibu was fourth with 203.
Oaks Christian's girls scored 346 points to beat dual league champion La Reina with 307. Nordhoff was third with 116, followed by Villanova 234 and Malibu 203.
Oaks Christian's Audrey Gosnell won the 50-yard freestyle with a CIF-Southern Section Division 2 automatic time of 25.05 seconds. Gosnell also won the 100 butterfly with a 1:01.52 consideration time.
Villanova's Edward Campana, a senior, turned a 21.79 automatic time in winning the 50 freestyle. Oaks Christian's Maxwell Husby was second in a 22.67 consideration time.
Oak Christian senior Kevin Moore had a winning consideration time of 1:47.80 in the 200 freestyle. Moore also had a 4:50.31 consideration time in the 500 freestyle. Moore anchored the winning 400 freestyle consideration team (3:23.86).
Villanova's 200 medley relay team of Campana, Ian Bochard, Alec Baldwin an Danny Chen had a winning consideration time 1:45.65.
Oak Christian's girls 200 medley team of Sydney Duiomovich, Lauren Iannetta, Gosnell and Whitney Elmore had a winning consideration time of 1:56.70. La Reina's team of Melissa Yu, Abby Chopp, Bess Grode and Madison Brooks was second with a 1:58.42 consideration time.
Elmore anchored Oaks Christian's winning 400 freestyle consideration relay (3:53.95).
Chopp, a freshman, won the 100 backstroke in a 1:02.21 consideration time. Junior Duimovich of Oaks Christian was second in 1:03.47.
Iannetta captured the 100 breast stroke (1:10.95 consideration) and Chopp was second (1:22.26 consideration).
Yu, a sophomore, had a winning consideration time of 2:03.39 in the 200 freestyle. Yu prevailed in the 100 freestyle in 58.09.
La Reina's 200 freestyle team of Yu, Grode, Brooks and Chopp had a 1:47.45 consideration time.
Villanova junior Ian Borchard had a winning 200 IM consideration time (2:02.99). Borchard notched a 100 breast stroke consideration (1:03.80)
Villanova's 200 freestyle relay team had a 1:31.96 consideration time and Oaks Christian was second with a consideration time of 1:33.35.
Nordhoff's Alec Kruse was first in the 100 freestyle (50.82).
Oaks Christian coach Dave Moore was wearing a T-shirt with all the school swim history: 19 All-Americans, 54 CIF events champions, eight CIF top three teams and five CIF team champions.
Moore said the Division 2 time standards are challenging. He only expects a few of his swimmers to be in the finals.
Kathie Duncan, the third-year La Reina coach, said was happy with her girls team's effort.
"We didn't win," she said. "We had an a honest effort. We just lack depth and extra swimmers to score in this kind of meet."
Nordhoff coach Jim Mauch was pleased with freshman Summer van Houten's 5:35.29 consideration time in the 500 freestyle.
Villanova coach Jermaine Britton hopes Campana can make it to the CIF finals in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke.
"He had a good leadoff leg in the medley relay. His 50 free time was one -hundredth of a second slower than his best this season," Britton said.

Now I know that Valentine's Day is all about drummin' up new ways to say "I love you," but when you've celebrated as many Valentine's Days as I have, it gets harder and harder to impress. Michael can always win me over with jewelry or some other thoughtful gift. Last year, we were staying at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills and I saw the most beautiful Valentino handbag. I wanted it so bad, but the salespeople claimed that they couldn't find the key to open the case. Or so they said. I was so agitated—like they thought I wasn't good enough for that bag. Well, when we got home, on Michael's desk was the most beautiful box with a card that read, "To my Valentine." Turns out that he had gone behind my back and told the salespeople not to show me that purse. Then he bought it and had it shipped here. By the time we got home, it was waiting for me. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was the sweetest thing.
But men are so much harder to shop for. Michael, having been a docking pilot for most of his life, isn't a monogrammed cufflink kind of guy. He wouldn't be caught dead carrying some "man purse"—so no matching Valentino's for us. And making reservations at an overcrowded and overpriced restaurant—the same one that is reasonable any other day of the year—would feel more like work than romance. So instead of one perfect gift, or one perfect 5-course meal, I'm going for one perfect touch.
No, not that. I'm talking food, y'all.
The way to Michael's heart has always been through his stomach, which is just one of the many things that makes us a perfect match. One of our first Valentine's together I made him the most absolutely perfect 15-layer caramel cake. Okay, it wasn't 15 layers; it just felt like it. But one bite of that cake sealed the deal. He said, "I might could like her," and like me he did. So to show Michael that he's the light of my life, I'm going to go back to doing what I do best and make him the most fabulous cake I know how to bake—something that trumps even my caramel cake—and that's my Sugared Rose Parade Layer Cake.
It's a super-duper special cake that I allowed the Tournament of Roses people to use at the announcement brunch this year. There's a lot of love and time that goes into this spectacular cake, making it befitting for Valentine's Day. I make four 10-inch layers of alternating red velvet and white cake, cream cheese frosting and sugared rose petals. It calls for two kinds of flour, 12 cups of sugar (including the roses and frosting) and two pounds of cream cheese. Now if that won't make your heart stop, I don't know what will.
Valentine's Day is really about sharing an intimate moment with your loved ones. It needn't be a lot of hoopla, just a slice of spectacular cake and a cup of hot chocolate set up in a cozy spot. Like y'all, we spend most of our days eatin' on the run over the table in our kitchen and rarely get a chance to sit down, let alone have a decent conversation. So creating a beautiful table setting in our bedroom really brings it all together—conversation, food, intimacy and most importantly, our big-hearted love.Read More From Holidays and Entertaining.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The opening moves are the fun of this route and also the crux. A cheater block is often placed for the start of this climb, feel free to move them out of the way and enjoy the opening moves. The rest of the route is straight up with solid large holds. Overall this is a fun little route, one of my personal favorites and one of the better routes in the park.
The arete on the left side of the west face of Five Finger Block. Located on Rim Road, drive to the main climbing area and follow the right path at the picnic area down to block. The route is right there next to the down tree. Don't worry about it falling, it has been there as long as I can remember and not going anywhere.
Bolts at top. Setting up TR go to the left and on the north side of the block there is a 3 foot rock sitting on the ledge for an easy up and down on top of Five Finger Block. It can also be reach by climbing the East Face which is pretty much stairs of ledges.

Georgians who collect food stamps are going to have to get by on a lot less.
Starting Nov. 1, the federal government will cut the program by $47 million.
That will leave nearly 2 million low-income Georgians scrambling to find ways to stretch their dollars even thinner than they are now.
One in five Georgians relies food stamps.
Many of them are working people who are struggling just to feed their families.
Angeletha Mintah, who is a single mother with three children at home, knows how to stretch a dollar.
"If you normally would buy fresh vegetables, now you have to find those canned goods, the three for a dollar, two for a dollar," Mintah said.
Mintah, who runs a private nonprofit and barely collects a salary, relies heavily on food stamps to help feed her children.
"It has been a struggle," Mintah said.
That struggle could grow into a crisis.
"Even though the benefits are going down, prices are going up. That makes it even harder when you're trying to make ends meet," Mintah said.
The maximum benefit for a family for four is about $668 a month, according the Department of Agriculture, which runs the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program. The cuts will drop that to $632 a month.
That same family will lose 26 meals per month, according to the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, leaving that family with an average of about $1.40 to spend per person, per meal.
"It just means I'll have to buy second rate. The fresh bread you may buy that's fresh and spanking new, I have to wait a couple of days," Mintah said.
Bill Bolling, the founder and executive director of the Atlanta Community Food Bank, said the recession forced many families to seek help from food pantries.
Bolling said the new cuts will put even more stress on food banks.
"It has put a tremendous strain on our operations. We'll get through the holidays. It's going to be a tough year ahead for us," Bolling said.
Mintah said her children will not go hungry, but she will have to buy cheaper food and older, less nutritious food.
"My kids aren't going to go without, but will my kids be as healthy as they should be? No," Mintah said.

Two men are in facing felony charges in connection with an armed robbery at a North Shreveport shoe store Wednesday morning, and police say they're responsible for at least three other armed robberies in recent weeks.
It happened at the Shoe Show in the 1900 block of North Market Street just before 10:30 a.m. Employees of the store told officers that two men came into the store with their faces partially covered and armed with handguns. They reportedly ordered the clerk to hand over cash from the register before taking off on foot.
There are no reports of any injuries.
Witnesses were able to give officers a description of the two men seen fleeing the store in the direction of the Barton Drive Manor housing complex a few blocks away on Pointe Coupee Drive.
A Shreveport police K9 unit helped lead officers to a home in the 1700 block of Point Coupee. Once they were allowed inside by the owner, police say they found two men who matched "very similar" in description of the pair of suspects described by witnesses to the robbery.
Police say they found clothing items described as being worn by one of the suspects discarded in a trash bin directly behind the home. Two guns of similar description to those used in the robbery were also found, along with separate bundles of cash stashed inside a couch.
19-year-old Frederick McKinley, who lives at that address, and 19-year-old Cardarius O'Neal were taken in for questioning. Police say that during those interviews, they were able to gather additional evidence linking both suspects to at least three other recent armed robberies, all occurring in close proximity to the others.
McKinley and O'Neal both were both booked into the Shreveport City Jail on four counts each of armed robbery.

The Angels have strung together six consecutive victories.

Fargo is off to a PERFECT 6-0 ATS start to the NFLX season! He has isolated a HUGE play for Week Three and it is so strong it is his NFL Preseason Game of the Week! He is riding a POTENT 45-26-2 (63%) ATS side NFLX run and it is extended with this MONSTER WINNER! Since the start of last summer, ALL Football is an EPIC +$36,584! Guaranteed!
The Red Sox will be out to avoid the sweep tonight as they have dropped the first three games of this series and are riding a four-game losing streak overall. The offense has been able to do nothing during the skid as they have scored a total of nine runs over the four games and while they were underdogs the first three games in this series, those were against C.J. Wilson, Jered Weaver and Garrett Richards and they take a step down in opposing pitching tonight. The Angels meanwhile has won three straight games and seven of their last eight to take over the lead in the American League West by a game and a half over Oakland. They visit the A's starting tomorrow so there could very well be a lookahead going into that big series. The recent run has given Los Angeles the best record is baseball but it is 5-14 in its 19 road games this season against American League starting pitcher whose ERA is 4.00 or better. Rubby De La Rosa has a 3.79 ERA on the season and that goes down to 3.25 at home in six starts with four of those resulting in quality outings. He is coming off a poor start against the Astros where he allowed six runs in four innings but he allowed six runs in a game about a month ago and followed that up with a quality outing and I expect the same tonight. The Red Sox are 5-1 in De La Rosas six home starts. The Angels go with Matt Shoemaker who has a very comparable ERA but has not been very consistent, especially on the road. He has a 2.72 ERA at home but that balloons to 5.70 on the road and while he has been winning, he has been fortunate to get great run support which I feel comes to an end tonight.

The Andover Townsman
---- — Andover's Reid Lewis Simpson garnered the Silver Beaver Award, the highest honor that can be bestowed on an individual, at the Yankee Clipper Council of the Boy Scouts of America's Annual Meeting and Recognition Dinner on June 13 at the Wyndham Hotel in Andover.
The Silver Beaver is presented to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self-sacrifice, dedication and many years of service. It typically goes to those who do not actively seek it. Simpson, a district member-at-large, was one of four recipients of the recognition this year.
Simpson says he is honored to be a lifelong member of the Boy Scouts of America. He joined Cub Scouts in 1966 and since then, he attended the National Jamboree as a youth and now serves on the Jamboree staff. He is an Eagle Scout and also the proud father of an Eagle Scout.
He is currently serving as a member of the Yankee Clipper Council's Advancement Committee and its Information Technology Committee. He has also served in many roles as a volunteer, including as an assistant district commissioner, a unit commissioner, district training committee member, roundtable staff member and Pack and Troop committee member.
According to the award recognition, Simpson believes that "Scouting offers an amazing array of opportunity for children to explore, try and thrive, with physical and mental challenges matched to a wide range of interests, ages and levels, while subtly providing the framework to `Be Prepared' for making good choices in a variety of conditions.
"Perhaps more importantly, Scouting provides a relief valve from `perfection' by promising that `I will do my best," he says. He adds the same benefits of Scouting apply to adults as well.
In addition to his involvement in Scouting, Simpson has also served as a lacrosse coach and is active with his church council, serving in roles such as religious education teacher, program coordinator and volunteer interim youth minister.
In addition to handing out awards, the Yankee Clipper Council also held elections during the meeting portion of the evening. Local residents were among those elected — Timothy L. Felter, immediate past president; Don Bulens and Raymond Skwierczynski, board members; and David Schuh, district chairman.

Men's Lacrosse Heads To VMI On Saturday

Dolphins looking to extend three-game winning streak
– The Jacksonville men's lacrosse takes a three game winning streak and a perfect 3-0 conference record on the road this Saturday as the team travels to VMI for a 12:00 pm contest.
The Dolphins (5-3; 3-0) enter this weekend tied for first in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with Marist.
"Our work ethic every week this season has been great," said JU Head Coach Guy Van Arsdale. "It's that work ethic and attitude that our guys are bringing everyday that is really mature and they have been doing a great job getting ready to play throughout the week."
"They are working hard in the weight room, working hard looking at film and knowing the scouting report. It's a lot of these little things that have helped make the difference in all the close games. We know every MAAC game is going to come down to the final few minutes, so having the confidence that we put in the extra work needed to win has been an advantage for us."
JU extended its winning streak to three straight last week with another dramatic overtime win.
"We realize that our win last week against Detroit was no Picasso that we painted," Van Arsdale said of his team's 9-8 win last Saturday. "This week we have been working on getting a little more consistent with our ball handling and decision making."

vacation rental description
From the moment you enter, you'll know you've found your home away from home. You'll be tempted to stop & admire the tasteful furnishings & interior design & a glance toward the gourmet kitchen will beckon, but your inner child will not be deterred. You'll breeze right past the open inviting living room/ dining area & head straight for the double French doors. Stepping out onto the open terrace you'll be dazzled by the scene that lays sprawled out before you. Lush green lawns, huge oaks & pines for shade, mountain ridges framing the view & the sparkling waters of pristine Lake Chatuge right outside your door. Just steps away is the lighted & covered dock with your own private boat slip, temporary home to your water chariot, waiting to take you out on the lake for the time of your life. It doesn't get any more convenient than this. And if that wasn't enough, there's a wakeboarding & jet-ski rental site within walking distance of your dock! (That is if you walk on water!)

condo rental amenities
Perhaps not everyone in your party is here just for the lake, so they will have been drawn immediately to the wonderfully appointed interior. With overstuffed micro-suede couches, shiny glass top tables, well stocked bookshelves & game table, a 38" flat screen HD/TV & DVD player neatly tucked away behind cabinet doors, just above the stacked stone fireplace, the living room is the perfect gathering place for family & friends of all ages. The dining area seats up to 8 including the breakfast bar and stools. The kitchen dazzles with rich granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, ceramic cook top, microwave, blender, coffee maker, toaster and every amenity one could hope for. Of course there's WiFi for those who wish to check their email or perhaps stay over another day by working from their laptop. We supply all the towels and linens so you don't need to pack a thing but your weekend clothes, sun block and a toothbrush & maybe some steaks to grill out at the picnic pavillion.
activities and attractions in Hiawassee Georgia
Located just minutes from either the GA Mountain Fairgrounds & Young Harris College, The Ridges & Brasstown Valley Resort, you'll find golf, horseback riding, spas, restaurants, movies, shopping & more all within easy access & right off the main road. Bring your own boat or rent one from a nearby marina. Families with little children will enjoy the public recreation area just down the road, with a well maintained stretch of white sandy beach & swimming area w/ life guard & a fully equipped playground, tennis courts, picnic area & boat ramp. With Fun World, a Multiplex Cinema & Pizza Parlor, free concerts on the square, a bevy of great eateries offering everything from Sushi to Mexican, Bar-B-Que to Bistro & a Tiki Bar & live outdoor entertainment, you'll have a hard time settling on how to fit in all the activities. But don't worry, because you know you'll be back. So book early for peak periods, because not every lakefront condo is right on the "WATER'S EDGE'! Remember the name.

A small voice spoke up about a big issue on Wednesday. Katie Munford, 8, pleaded with metro Atlanta officials to keep the Braves stadium downtown.
Katie is from Fayetteville. She said her favorite player is Chris Johnson and that she likes to see players hit home runs.
The second-grader stood up before the Atlanta Regional Commission on Wednesday afternoon and asked a room of adults to use their influence and power in keeping the braves downtown.
"I like going to Braves games and I would not like to see Turner Field be destroyed," said Munford.
Tradition is a big part of baseball and that's a big reason Katie and her dad, John, want the Braves to stay on the south side of town. If the Braves move, they say they probably won't get to go to as many games.
"It's our daughter-daddy date night. It's a tradition. We like to go to fireworks night," said John Munford.
The Atlanta Regional Commission has little say in the deal to move the Braves from downtown to Cobb County, but it does control infrastructure such as road and bridges and interchanges.
Katie's dad is a newspaper reporter who covers city and county government, so when Katie asked what she could do about it, he encouraged her to speak up.

Latest Tourist Opinion about Travel to Tunisia:
Jamel was a wonderful guide and host! We had a fabulous day in Tunisia (off cruise ship) thanks to Jamel. His knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for Tunisia were exceptional. He took us to excellent places, including one of the "touristy" places we requested, but just so we could see it, but not waste all day. He took us to the best Carthage ruins, where the tour busses could not get to. He also took us to other ruins where no other tourists were. It was great! We went to local Markets and downtown too! It was an exceptionally well-planned day! Thank you Jamel

Site update complete
This site is built using Plone, which has every content management feature under the sun, but is a notorious memory hog. The site was originally built using Plone 3, and our memory usage had recently started exceeding our maximum, thus slowing the site to a crawl. Updating to Plone 4 -- which uses less memory -- was a hassle because the original site used a third party theme to improve style and layout, and this theme could not easily be upgraded to Plone 4. I solved this problem by simply removing the theme and reverting to the stock Plone 4 theme, which is what you see here. To avoid future upgrade hassles, I plan to stick with the stock Plone theme from now on.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tom Pauken Endorses Eric Opiela for Ag Commissioner
2/20/2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Hampton Williams (512) 590-2289 Tom Pauken Endorses Eric Opiela for Ag Commissioner Former Gubernatorial Candidate, State GOP Chairman: Opiela a true conservative leader who has a proven record of protecting Texas landowners and fighting the federal government. Karnes City - Former State GOP Chairman and gubernatorial candidate Tom Pauken endorsed Eric Opiela for Texas Agriculture Commissioner. Pauken, who also served as the chairman of the Texas Workforce Commission, said Opiela understands the leadership that Texas needs to keep agriculture and our economy strong. I have known and worked with Eric Opiela to advance our shared Conservative principles for years, Tom Pauken said. Eric Opiela is a true conservative leader who has a proven record of protecting Texas landowners and fighting the federal government. Thats why Im supporting Eric to serve as our next Texas Agriculture Commissioner. Eric has fought tirelessly against the encroachment of federal regulations that target Texas landowners and attempt to strip our citizens of their rights, said Pauken. This experience is key for this office as he works to make sure Texas has adequate water for agriculture, the energy sector, and our growing urban population. Texans can trust Eric Opiela to provide strong conservative leadership in the Texas Department of Agriculture. Tom Pauken joins a long list of endorsers, including the Texas Alliance for Life, Agriculture leaders, Tea Parties, and hundreds of Republican activists across the state. Opiela has an AQ rating from the NRA, the highest possible for a non-incumbent. Eric Opiela is a fifth generation rancher and operates a 2,300 acre ranch outside of Karnes City, Texas. As a property rights advocate, Opiela has fought overreaching federal government agencies and currently serves as Chairman of the South Texans Property Rights Associations Eminent Domain Committee. Opiela also served as President of the Karnes City Independent School District Foundation. Eric and his wife, Lara, split time between Karnes City and Austin with their two children. ###

I have a New Idea hay mower that needs new tires. I would like to get as close as original. It came with 5:50-16 tires. The closest ones I found was from Miller Tire but are 5:00-16. Would this size difference look funny on it or would you even be able to notice it.
Also, does anyone know where I might find manuals (operators, service,& parts) for for this? It is for a New Idea M/N 30A mower. Thanks.

recycling wastewater
This elite NYC highrise makes use of a system which recycles wastewater. Treated wastewater is recirculated for use in cooling towers and toilets; likewise, water from washing machines and showers is also treated and reused. The process manages to recycle about 25000 gallons per day; considering the average 120 gpd/person, this is a significantly effective system.
Fantastic to see such a dedicated effort at water conservation!

Trey Anastasio & Classic TAB | Electric Factory | Review
There is a certain feeling I get before a Phish or a Trey show that is unlike any other pre-show feeling. I don't know why, but it almost feels like it's my show that I'm preparing for. Everything has to be right. I have to be on time, in my spot, with everything that I need. I probably acquired these survival skills during ten years of Phish Jedi touring.
