Many lawyers will try to determine the other
parties net work and source of assets by deposing them in a post
judgment discovery action. They would generaly ask for their
financial statements, tax returns and bank statements. They can
also inquire about their personal and business assets and their
income salary. During this discovery action it may be found that
the party has already hidden their assets by transferring money
to other entities such as family trusts to their kids or spouses
or may have hidden them under another name such as maiden names
etc. The following are a few pointers on where assets
generally are hidden.
Many people will try to use their assets to pay off their
home mortgages or add equity to their homes which they believe
cannot be touched in some states because of homestead laws. They
may also make prepayments to their whole life or universal life
policies. They may start purchasing assets such as savings bonds
because until recently savings bond transactions were not
registered centrally. They may withdraw money in the form of
cashiers checks and hide them somewhere. The following documents
can help you find leads to a persons hidden assets. Passports or
other travel documents - Visas and other entry and exit stamps
on passports can help you check if any asset transfers of bank
withdrawals match with the timing of their trips. Credit card
transactions can help you track travel within the country and
you can time any withdrawals or other asset transfers with these
transactions. These records are easy to obtain by subpoena or
under a motion to produce.

I know we are not fans of people who are willing to bring defiance to an organization, but I sincerely hope the Lions will consider a trade like this. I would absolutely love to have a person like Harvin on our team (under the assumption that his attitude is strictly towards the Vikings organization that is).
What do you think? Would you rather trade a second rounder for a guaranteed talent in a needed position... Or wait and see what the draft brings?

The Kilgore Police Department is launching an investigation into recent dognapping cases that have now moved into their area.
We first told you about reports of stolen dogs on Tuesday, when Longview residents told us people were taking their dogs after posing as animal control officers and employees of the Humane Society.
Now, there are reports of a white male in an unmarked white pick-up truck with cages, claiming to have a warrant for people's dogs in Kilgore.
However, when the police are called, the individual takes off.
If you have any information on this case or have seen anything suspicious, you are asked to call the Kilgore Police Department at (903) 983-1559.

At the lunchtime event, held at West End nightclub Sketch, producers Mark Rubinstein and Susan Gallin, show creator Peter Michael Marino and director Angus Jackson made short speeches about the musical's three-year development, and Debbie Harry introduced its two leading ladies, Emma Williams (who plays Susan) and Kelly Price (Roberta Glass). Supported by six backing singers, Williams and Price then performed scene excerpts from Desperately Seeking Susan and sang Blondie classics "Call Me" and "Dreaming".
Speaking to Whatsonstage.com, Debbie Harry – who Gallin described as "strong, smart, beautiful … Half the world wanted to be her, the other half wanted to date her" – admitted she had been surprised when first approached about setting Blondie's music to the film, in which the lives of suburban New Jersey housewife Roberta Glass and street-smart New Yorker Susan become intertwined. "It works so well – that was the biggest surprise."
For Marino, who was inspired to write the musical after seeing Abba-based blockbuster Mamma Mia!, the project became a convergence of two of his big loves: Blondie's songs ("I can't stop listening to Blondie music, it makes me feel so happy!") and Desperately Seeking Susan. "I'd seen it about ten million times," he said. "Growing up in the suburbs, I'd see films about New York City and I'd think, I want to be part of that world."
His script tries to capture the spirit of the film and the music, something that he hopes will "invigorate" audiences. "I hope that everyone who comes to see the show leaves the theatre feeling younger, happier, hipper, and maybe a little blonder."
While the creative team considered updating the story, they opted to stick with 1979, as per the film. Angus Jackson explained: "What we've got is a collision of the Seventies and the Eighties. Decades always spill over into each other. By setting the story on the cusp, we get to have our cake and eat it. The collision is where the fun is." Of his two female stars, Emma Williams and Kelly Price, Jackson said: "It's no exaggeration to say that, since their West End lead debuts (in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Guys and Dolls respectively), the audience has been hungry to see them create new roles in new projects."
The roles of Roberta and Susan were played by Rosanna Arquette and Madonna in the film original, but the stage actresses have accepted their director's challenge to create something new. "I hadn't seen the movie (before I got involved with the show)," said Kelly Price. "Then I watched it one time and I'll leave it at that. I'm going to create Roberta afresh." For Emma Williams, "my version of Susan will have a nod to Madonna, but a lot of influence from Debbie Harry, Courtney Love and Shirley Manson (lead vocalist of Garbage) – these really strong women."
Desperately Seeking Susan opens at the West End's Novello Theatre on 15 November (previews from 12 October). In addition to hits such as "Hanging on the Telephone", "The Tide Is High", "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "Rapture" and "One Way or Another", Blondie have written a new ballad, "Moment of Truth", especially for the musical.

By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Looking for work? There is a bit of a bright spot on the job front.
Hundreds, even thousands of people are finding jobs in Southwest Georgia thanks to the Census Bureau. The Census will take place in just a few months.
The process is pretty easy. You dial a number, take a test and apply, and you just might find yourself a job.
New trainees and potential employees file in and out of the U.S. Census Field office in Albany. "Lots of interest, lots of phone calls, lots of people checking out the website," said Jennifer Edwards, a Partnership Specialist for the U.S. Census.
Workers have been gearing up for the Census in Albany for more than a year, but it's now down to the wire, and they're looking for a few more good men and women to hire.
"The census is a great opportunity to give back to your community and the sense of being involved in such a dynamic process," said Edwards. "This only happens every 10 years, this is the discentennial census, so it's really important, if you're looking for an opportunity, people can come out."
Most of the available positions are for census takers, folks who will go out and make sure census questionnaires are turned back in, so that everyone is counted. "We want a complete and accurate count. It's very important for the community. There's $400 Billion that the federal government spends each year and we want to make sure that our area gets its fair share of the funding."
And the jobs created by the census will spread around money too. Money that wouldn't be in the community if the jobs weren't here. "There is an economic boost as far a bringing people in, people are hired people can spend their money, they're getting paid, it all comes back around."
But the census only comes around every 10 years, so if you're looking for an opportunity with them, now's your chance.
To find out if you've got what it takes to work for the census, you can take their practice test HERE. It takes about 30 minutes, and involves math reading and organizational skills. The Census questionnaires will be sent out in the next few months.
Census takers will follow up with folks who don't return theirs during the summer.

HAPPY VALLEY (WATE) -- Search teams continued their effort Wednesday in the second day of trying to find a Happy Valley man who went missing in the area.
All day efforts to find Michael Hearon, 51, came up empty Tuesday and so far Wednesday.
If necessary, they'll start again Thursday morning.
Hearon was last seen Saturday on Bell Branch Road, which intersects with Happy Valley Road and Happy Valley Loop Road.
Teams expanded their search area Wednesday beyond a 100 acre plot of land the Hearon family owns, as well as land next to the family's property.
"Hopes are still high, as far as I know. We're just going to keep looking. That's what he'd do for us," says Hearon's nephew, Jake Reagan. "We were talking in the truck on the way back and if one of us was lost, he'd be looking for us."
Hearon was going to mow the yard at his grandmother's house Saturday, but his four-wheeler was missing and the mower was still at the house.
Hearon's four-wheeler was later found sitting idle with the switch turned on and no sign of him. His family reported him missing Monday night.
The area where Hearon disappeared is near the Abrams Creek section of The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Family and friends say Hearon grew up in Happy Valley and knows the back areas well, often hunting or four-wheeling there. They're shocked he's missing, but say perhaps he got hurt or was bitten by a snake.
Around 100 people from agencies in Blount County, the National Park Service and Rural/Metro took part in the search. Hearon's family and neighbors are also helping.
Verizon set up a portable cell tower so teams can contact each other during the search.
The Happy Valley Community Center continues to serve as the command post.

TERRAS: Matthews waits for decision on new faces
Updated 8:40am Thursday 9th January 2014 in Sport By David Williams, Sports Reporter
JASON Matthews should have a clearer indication after this weekend as to whether or not there is scope to bring fresh faces to the Bob Lucas Stadium.
The Terras' player-manager has said he would like to boost the size of his squad, with a midfielder at the top of his wish list.
But Matthews is fully aware that finances will play a huge role in him being able to make any new signings.
This Saturday is a busy one for the Terras' chief with the home match against Corby Town bookended by a morning board meeting and fans' forum at 6.30pm.
And only after that does Matthews feel he will know what he has to play with.
"I'd like to bolster the squad a little bit but whether that's possible or not, I don't know yet," he said.
"We've got a small squad so a couple of fresh faces would be welcome, but, at the same time, we've got to balance the books.
"I'll know how things are going after the fans' forum on Saturday."
An extensive list of contacts is always handy for a non-League manager and Matthews reckons his links with other clubs will stand him in good stead.
"I've spoken to all the local League clubs and they are very helpful," he added. "I'm quite privileged to know someone at each of them so that helps too."

CNN's Zakaria Reveals He Advises President Obama On Foreign Policy
Update below the break: When it came to Roger Ailes and George Will, the media ethicists were out in full force. Why not for Zakaria? | Update May 15: Zakaria denies he "advises" Obama
CNN's Fareed Zakaria, host of the weekend show Fareed Zakaria GPS and editor-at-large for Time magazine, admitted on CNN Thursday that he has been advising President Obama on foreign policy matters.
Eliot Spitzer, host of CNN's In the Arena, brought up the fact at the very end of a conversation with Zakaria about Pakistan and foreign policy. Zakaria affirmed it and clarified that "mostly it's been face-to-face meetings...organized by Tom Donilon, the national security advisor."
Spitzer brought up the subject by telling Zakaria that "I read something in the paper this week...It said the President of the United States calls you for wisdom and advice about issues around the world."
After verifying that, Zakaria quickly changed the subject to praising Obama's approach to foreign policy. "It's been a very thoughtful conversation," he mused. "You know, we'll see where it goes."
A transcript of the segment, which aired on May 12 at 8:28 p.m. EDT, is as follows:
ELIOT SPITZER: Look, I read something in the paper this week a couple of days ago that actually made me -- you know brought a smile to my face. It said the president of the United States calls you for wisdom and advice about issues around the world.
So first, when he calls you, what does he say? "Hi, Barack calling for Fareed?" What does he do?
FAREED ZAKARIA: Mostly it's been face-to-face meetings.
SPITZER: Right.
ZAKARIA: You know, it's usually organized by Tom Donilon, the national security adviser.
SPITZER: Right.
ZAKARIA: What I'm struck by, though, honestly, Eliot, is how much time he's spending thinking about the issues of the Arab spring particularly the issues of Egypt, how -- how to make Egypt go right, what -- you know, what is the -- what are the mechanisms that the United States has to help the moderates and liberals.
It's been a very thoughtful conversation. You know we'll see where it goes.
SPITZER: I'm not going to ask you what you have said to the president but it makes my heart warm that the president is calling you for wisdom and advice. And thanks for coming on the show.
*****UPDATE (19:21 - Lachlan Markay):
In addition to the ethical issues that my colleague Matt touches on, there is a pretty notable double standard at work here in the rest of the news media's silence on Zakaria's conflict of interest.
Shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, you may remember, Fox News Channel president Roger Ailes sent a letter to White House advisor Karl Rove with some suggestions as to what the president's response to the attacks should be. Veteran Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward first reported on the letter in his 2002 book "Bush At War".
The revelation sparked a media firestorm, as various news outlets offered the anecdote as evidence of the Fox News Channel's conservative leanings. This New York Times article was fairly representative of the tone of coverage.
Similarly, there was significant media backlash when it was revealed that columnist George Will had advised Ronald Reagan on debate tactics during the 1980 presidential campaign. As Katrina vanden Heuvel, editor of the far-left Nation magazine, recalled, "a Los Angeles Times media critic called Will 'a political shill,' Chicago columnist Mike Rokyo called him a 'lapdog,' and the New York Daily News kicked him off their editorial pages (though it reinstated him too soon after)." (It should be noted that, contrary to vanden Heuvel's suggestion, Will's role in Reagan's campaign "was well known, and readers could take Will's views into account," as USA Today's Philip Meyer noted.)
Of course silence from vanden Heuvel and other left-wingers on Zakaria's comparable conflict of interest is to be expected, since pointing it out would do little to advance their agenda. More telling is the silence of the mainstream press that so vociferously criticized - or at the very least covered - apparent conflicts for conservative media personalities.
To top it all off, the man who brought the issue to light is himself a Democratic politician-turned-CNN-host. A trend seems to be emerging here.
*******UPDATE, May 15: On Saturday afternoon, Zakaria posted the following "clarification on my conversations with the President" to his CNN blog page:
The characterization that I have been "advising" President Obama is inaccurate. Over the last few months I've had a couple of conversations with the president, off-the-record. At no point did President Obama ask me for advice on a specific policy or speech or proposal, nor did I volunteer it. I know that he has had similar meetings with other columnists.

Thought you would like to see this post:
Dean 47 minutes ago Report Abuse
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete system.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components.
Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called 'religious rights.'
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their 'religious rights,' they also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:
United States — Muslim 1.0%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1%-2%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States ).
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is to convert the world & to establish Sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions ( Paris –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats ( Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' — the Islamic House of Peace — there's (supposed) to be peace because everybody is a Muslim: we know however that this isnt true is it...?
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons...and they are coming to a neighborhood near you...so keep thinking they are not going to harm you and they "accept" you.
Old Chinese proverb: "Unless you change direction, you're apt to end up where you're headed.'"

Fareed and Barack, in the oval office.
Submitted by Gary Hall on Fri, 05/13/2011 - 7:23pm.
Let's see - it should transpire like this.
On Thursday, they get together and Obama asks Fareed what he thinks he should say to the Muslim world - about the re-freezing of the Arab Spring. Fareed advises him to ignore the catastrophes in Japan, Texas, the Mississippi flooding (now since it's in the deep south), the declining dollar, and the 70% majority who want the darnn border closed - and that he should give another speech to the Muslim world - bring em up to date. After all, it's been a couple of years since Obama last spoke to them. Obama says he'll float the idea.
On Fareed's Sunday CNN GPS show, he closes with his personal observations:
- With so much turmoil in the MidEast these past many months, seemingly with no end in sight, The President of the United States announced this week, that he has been spending too much time on domestic issues and may choose to address the Muslim communities in the Islamic world, once again, just to remind them that they are on his mind too. With his plate so full, I find it difficult to imagine how he can continue to function at such a high level. I believe that President Obama, once again, is getting the right advice - from someone magical.

What exactly are Zakaria's credentials...
Submitted by PrairieSky on Sat, 05/14/2011 - 12:30am.
to be advising the POTUS on ANYTHING? Zakaria is a journalist and has been his entire professional career. He does have a doctorate degree in political science, but to my knowledge, he has never worked in any governmental policy or political position. And this is one of the people that Obama goes to for advice on foreign policy? My guess why he does is because Zakaria is an Indian-born Muslim, who, Obama apparently believes, can give him a "unique" perspective on middle-eastern and Muslim issues.
Yeah, right. Good thinking there, Barack.

It is interesting that Obama would call on someone so unwise with regard to the foundation of our country for wisdom. If you go back in Zakaria's statements, you'll find a leaning toward wrong side of our recent history. Zakaria: Admires Bill Maher – supports a VAT tax – Calls the Muslim Brotherhood moderate – Says Hezbollah is tolerant of Jews – Defends the flotilla - Didn't believe terrorist money was involved in the Ground Zero Mosque and many more things that most Americans find distasteful and wrong. Zakaria continually distorts history of Clinton and Bush on the economy, misleads the public on most things that are not pro-left and demonstrates little understanding of America and the American people. So, once again we discover that our President relies on the advice of someone disconnected with American values and our people.
Now that we know Obama looks to Zakaria for "wisdom", it might be wise for us to take a closer look at him to know who he really is. He's a lot smarter than Van Jones and that should worry us. He is highly praised for his book "The Post-American World" which I have yet to read.
Zakaria may actually be one of the best advisors Obama has enlisted. That is a sad comment. He has been right on some foreign policy and events in the Middle East. However, that does not let him off the hook for his leftist ideology. The revolving door with the liberal press and the federal government continues to spin. -bidn-

Reading those old comments,
Submitted by gvii on Sat, 05/14/2011 - 2:47am.
Reading those old comments, with three years of this administration behind us only makes them more ridiculous than they were when they were first written. The comments about how they love him and the way his coat hangs off him, he looks like a rockstar. All I can think is that he should go be a rockstar, because he had no clue how to run a country then, or now. And no matter how much experience he gets, I doubt he ever will. With people around him that believe that every dollar they spend on unemployment puts 1.70 back into the economy, having a massive company that nearly bankrupted itself design and build a car in the name of a "Greener Tomorrow" that is so unbelievably expensive that it has to be sold at a loss, with a government subsidy just so they can get any to move off the lot, and the belief that more who take jobs in government, the better the economy will be, I doubt he will ever get a clue.
I guess he's more of a rockstar than anyone thought. Just like most other rockstars, he doesn't know squat about the real world, only what he decides to let filter through to his self-absorbed brain. And if there is something he wants to do, he's going to do it, no matter how many people object. And if you don't agree with him, don't worry, he'll tell the whole world what an imbecile you are.
The sooner he gets tossed out of that office, the better. It will be incredibly difficult to clean up the mess he leaves in his wake in these four years. If he were to have another four, the mess he leaves could become insurmountable.

Sure...But enough Americans bought the bs they were given by the press willingly, without question, and without doing their own homework.
If nothing else good comes out of this disastrous presidency, hopefully Americans will have learned that the press is largely corrupt, much of it has an agenda and as a result not to believe everything that they are told, and that it is up to them to ask questions and find their own answers.

Private vs. Public Advice
Submitted by Chris Norman on Fri, 05/13/2011 - 11:18pm.
Zakaria advises Obama in private on foreign policy - the rest of the MSM openly advises Obama and the Democrats on foreign policy, domestic policy, economic policy, health care policy - all policies - in public every day and night on the air. It 's not like the policies that they both espouse aren't pretty much the same. At the same time, they promote Obama's and the Democrats policies and criticize and marginalize Republican policies. Of course, the only advice the MSM gives Republicans is "be like the Democrats" - and lose elections.

The media continues to demonstrate that the Fourth Estate is either part of a Democrat administration or is invested in trashing a Republican one. As an objective partner to the American people they no longer exist.
Let's pull all benefits for them. If they want to ride in Air Force 1, buy a ticket. If they want to cover an inauguration, give them the same treatment that the guy at the back of the crowd receives.
BTW, one of the reasons these guys have ratings at all is the number of people at Media Research Center who watch them. If we quit reporting on them, their ratings would take a giant step downward. Same for buying the New York Times.

Imagine if a Republican President was being advised by a tv anchor/pundit? The calls for firing the pundit would be ear shattering (violating the fourth estate objectivity, lack of ethics, etc). The President would also be ridiculed for receiving such advice from the pundit. And then let's look at the results of the advice-loss of a major ally in Egypt, anti Israel protests, threats to tear up the major foundation of peace-the Egyptian-Israeli Peace treaty, the resurrection of the muslim brotherhood (sic) and salafist groups in Egypt, stronger ties between Egypt and Iran, the destruction of the Coptic community.
Why it's almost like the Obama Administration wants Iran and its terror cronies to be the predominant force in the mideast.

After months of behind-the-scenes work, Augusta County announced that 60 new jobs are coming to Verona. Governor Bob McDonnell helped unveil the new project, which is a marriage between agriculture and high-tech industry.
The newest tenant at Augusta County's Mill Place Commerce Park will be Shamrock Farms. Their products - like bottled milk, coffee creamers and sports drinks - are sold in stores and some restaurants, including Subway and Arby's.
Friday afternoon McDonnell helped break ground on the 25-acre tract where Shamrock Farms will build a $50 million milk manufacturing plant. It's expected to be ready for production in October of next year.
Shamrock will buy milk from dairy farms all over Virginia and bring it to the Verona plant to be turned into a variety of serving-sized drinks.
"One of the principal things we were looking for is good milk supply at a reasonable price. It's a very competitive business. Right here in Virginia that's what we found," said CEO of Shamrock Farms, Kent McClelland.
Augusta County hired branch highways to prepare the industrial site for Shamrock.
The new plant will be about 130,000 square feet.
Shamrock got some incentives to build the new plant $300,000 from the state and a roughly $1 million package from Augusta County.
"Not only do we embrace the Augusta County philosophy of agriculture, and bringing what makes Augusta County stand out in the great Commonwealth of Virginia, but also that it includes jobs," said David Karaffa, Augusta County supervisor.
The 60 jobs will include high-tech production and management.
Office of Governor Bob McDonnell MEDIA RELEASE
RICHMOND - Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that Shamrock Farms, one of the largest family-owned-and-operated dairies in the U.S., will build a $50 million dairy manufacturing facility in Augusta County. The project will create 60 new jobs. Virginia successfully competed against Maryland and West Virginia for the project.
Speaking about today's announcement, Governor McDonnell said, "With this project, Virginia adds another major corporation to its roster. We warmly welcome Shamrock Farms to the Commonwealth and Augusta County, and appreciate the company's significant investment and creation of 60 new jobs. This new dairy manufacturing facility is the perfect fit for a region rich in agricultural history and committed to attracting industry that supports that history. I am confident Shamrock Farms will benefit from the skilled workforce and infrastructure available, while complementing the existing enterprise base, utilizing locally produced materials, including locally sourced milk, and helping advance the local economy."
"Shamrock Farms' new milk processing operation is a great win for the Commonwealth and Augusta County," said Jim Cheng, Virginia Secretary of Commerce and Trade. "With the construction of a new 130,000-square-foot facility, with room for expansion, Mill Place Commerce Park gains a new corporate tenant and the region gains 60 new employment opportunities. Shamrock Farms is a company with a rich 90-year history, and I look forward to its success in Virginia in the years ahead."
The new state-of-the-art Shamrock Farms dairy manufacturing facility will produce extended shelf life (ESL) products including Shamrock Farms on-the-go mmmmilk and Rockin' Refuel, a new line of protein-fortified milk designed for muscle building and recovery used by sports teams in more than 150 colleges and universities nationwide.
"Shamrock's decision to invest in Virginia is outstanding news for our job creation efforts and will increase agricultural production opportunities," said Todd P. Haymore, Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry. "Our dairy industry, which is one of the largest sectors of Virginia's diversified agricultural economy, will benefit by having another first-class, major milk processing facility located in the Commonwealth, providing more opportunities for increased production. These are exactly the types of successes Governor McDonnell was envisioning when he decided to make agriculture and forestry key components of his overall economic development agenda."
"We're thrilled to be joining the Augusta County community, the Commonwealth of Virginia has been very welcoming and from both a business and a company culture perspective, it's the perfect fit for Shamrock Farms," said Kent McClelland, Chief Executive Officer of Shamrock Foods Company and third generation of McClelland family leadership. "The Shamrock Farms brand stands for Real. Fresh. Ideas., which to us means a commitment to providing authentic, high-quality dairy products. This national expansion and increased capacity will allow us to provide more great-tasting and innovative milk products to people across the country."
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with Augusta County and the Shenandoah Valley Partnership to secure the project for Virginia. Governor McDonnell approved a $250,000 grant from the Governor's Opportunity Fund to assist Augusta County with the project. The Governor also approved $50,000 from the Governor's Agriculture and Forestry Industries Development Fund, a grant administered by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and made to businesses that add value to Virginia-grown agricultural and forestal products. The company is eligible to receive road access funding from the Virginia Department of Transportation. Through its Virginia Jobs Investment Program, the Virginia Department of Business Assistance will provide funding and services to support the company's recruitment, training and retraining activities.
"We are extremely proud that Shamrock Farms has chosen Augusta County as the new home for its East Coast facility," said Jeffrey A. Moore, Chairman of the Augusta County Board of Supervisors. "Augusta County is rich in agricultural heritage and committed to attracting industry that supports that history while advancing our community. Rarely does an industry such as Shamrock Farms present opportunities to capitalize on each. The new state-of-the-art facility will provide job opportunities that benefit from the strengths of our workforce while complementing our commitment to provide quality jobs to our citizens. Today's announcement supports both our comprehensive and economic development strategic plans and we look forward to welcoming the innovation and technology that Shamrock Farms will bring to our community."
Office of Congressman Bob GoodlatteMEDIA RELEASE
Goodlatte: Shamrock Farms Facility Good News for Jobs in Augusta County
WASHINGTON, DC -- Congressman Bob Goodlatte released the following statement welcoming the announcement today that Shamrock Farms will build a $50 million dairy manufacturing facility in Augusta County, creating 60 new jobs:
"Today's announcement is good news for jobs in Augusta County. The Shenandoah Valley has a vibrant agricultural economy, and the new Shamrock Farms facility will help carry on that tradition. This facility brings numerous economic opportunities as well as 60 new jobs to the community. I am happy to welcome Shamrock Farms to the Sixth District and look forward to visiting the new facility upon completion. I will continue to support policies in Congress that encourage more companies to expand their businesses and invest in the United States and the Commonwealth."

As I go through these 90s, I'm starting to realize wearing a number in the 90s was not so much en vogue until the 80s -- which means there's a dearth of options for most of these numbers. Thankfully 91 features one of the all time greats.
The Winner
Leslie O'Neal, DE
O'Neal was a pretty special player in Chargers' history. So special, in fact, that he was selected one of the 50 Greatest in Charger history, primarily on the strength of being the all-time Charger sack leader. (Yeah, sure, the sack statistic has about as much of a history as frozen yogurt, but does anyone really think that any other player amassed more than 105 sacks in their career as a Charger?)
In 9 seasons with the Chargers (with a 10th season wiped out by injury), O'Neal had double-digits in sacks every year but two – and once was because he only played about half the season because of the injury.
O'Neal was a prolific edge-rusher, whether as a Linebacker or Defensive End – while being a quiet but dominating force.
He was widely recognized and respected by the league, garnering six Pro Bowl selections. And now his recognition and respect translates to our own precious winner's circle.

If in fact the Whitt's are being the better person in this scenario and dropping the whole incident to stupid fans (the Ute(s) and the Cougar) then maybe every other Ute (that's you blocku) who's trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill should follow their fearless leaders example and let it go. My guess is we'll hear it was Whitt's son.

A Vacaville pastor made his first court appearance on Tuesday in Solano County Superior Court following his arrest earlier this month on allegations that he conspired to firebomb his ex-girlfreind's home and subsequently posted bail using fraudulent documentation.
Mark Lewis, 39, appeared in the Fairfield courtroom of Judge Peter B. Foor for arraignment on a half-dozen criminal charges, including: arson of an inhabited structure; stalking; possession or manufacture of a combustible or explosive material; making a false financial statement; perjury; and attempting to record a false or forged instrument. Lewis did not enter a plea to the charges and Foor ordered him back at 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 4 to complete the arraignment.
Lewis, who is the pastor of Fellowship Baptist Church, was arrested by Vacaville police following the Jan. 9 firebombing of a home on Chateau Circle. According to police, Lewis was the subject of a restraining order from the victim, his ex-girlfriend, who resides at the home.
On Jan. 11, Lewis posted $500,000 bail but was re-arrested on Friday after investigators with the Solano County District Attorney's Office looked into the source of funds used for his bail.
A press release from the Vacaville Police Department stated that investigators determined that Lewis used the church property as collateral by fraudulently listing himself and his uncle, Danny Lewis, 60, as "Trustor" on the church's Deed of Trust. Police said the document was newly drafted following his arrest.
Lewis remained in Solano County Jail custody following Tuesday's arraignment with bail set at $575,000.

The only analogy I can think of with what Larry Bird did to the rest of the league on thursday was a fighter giving a giant upper cut to the rest of the league. Don't get me wrong, I feel it took a little more than I wanted to give up to get George Hill. Their 29th pick would've been nice to have in that deal to gnab Jeremy Tyler or some other big. But Larry also brought Brian Shaw on board, the main assistant on a championship contending Lakers team, oh and by the way had the blessings of Phil Jackson. Shaw will also be a great tutor for our young guards.
So we need to look back on what Larry has done. Not when Donnie was here....
Hired Jim O'Brien: Okay...... this one blew......
Drafted Brandon Rush and Roy Hibbert: Rush has mostly been a bust. His rare glimmers of potential on the offensive end have not outweighed his seemingly zero drive during games and his failing of drug tests. Roy has been a very solid center. There have been questions about his toughness inside and we'll see how that does after he gains some more weight back. That one can be blamed on O'Brien wanting a 7'2 guy to constantly sprint and stay at the top of the key.... what an idiot.
Drafted Tyler Hansbrough and AJ Price: I admit this is the only time I started to really have a problem with what Larry was doing. Yet this could've been one of his best moments. He selected Tyler Hansbrough against all the "experts" saying he could never play in the NBA. After the weird vertigo thing, Tyler was practically a rookie and he did a fantastic job. He needs to work on his defensive rebounding and a few more go to moves, but where he was picked at, there really wasn't anyone better. AJ Price was another guy who was said to not be able to play in the NBA, but he's a second rounder who has given us solid minutes, you can't ask for much more than that.
Drafted Paul George, Lance Stephenson, Magnum Rolle: I mean none of us can argue what Paul George can become. Larry dropped his love for upper classman for a draft and went potential gang busters on the NBA. Paul George is the future and can guard practically anyone. Lance needs to mature..... but in the middle of the second round.... that's a fantastic find. Magnum got let go as a victim of circumstance, but Larry had an eye for his talents and I think he has a very nice future.
Traded Troy Murphy for Darren Collison: I don't need to explain that one...... just read it a couple of times and it still shocks me. Wonder what Darren can do learning under Brian Shaw and actually having one coach for a whole season. It's his third year so look out.
Traded for George Hill: I mean it's just one more great piece...
Getting Brian Shaw: Big name guy possibly getting starting jobs with contenders, now our assistant. The Pacers must be getting pretty attractive to get him to come in.
So this is what he's done. Yes, it was a rocky start but it seems Larry has had some things to learn and he's learned them. But the most important thing Larry has done for this organization isn't in that list and hasn't been in the papers. Despite probably getting thousands of calls about people unloading big contracts for our expiring ones, Bird has said "no" every time. His persistence and discipline are putting this team back on the map. I can't wait for free agency.

Alec Baldwin Joins the Cast of My Sister's Keeper
Alec Baldwin Joins the Cast of My Sister's Keeper
I'm not sure how to feel about this news: Alec Baldwin has signed on to star alongside Cameron Diaz and the Fanning sisters in the film version of Jodi Picoult's bestselling novel My Sister's Keeper. Where Diaz seems slightly too young (and not mom-ish) to play the girls' mother, Alec Baldwin seems older than what I'd envisioned to play the part of the attorney.
His character is the lawyer who "represents a child (Elle Fanning) after she sues her parents for emancipation on the grounds they bred her to be a genetic match who could prolong the life of her cancer-ridden sister (Dakota Fanning). The girl's mother (Diaz) is a former trial lawyer and represents herself in court."
I figured this character might be somewhat gruff and I think Baldwin can easily pull that off, but I'd also thought he would be young and dashing. My casting choice was Jon Hamm who recently played Don Draper on Mad Men. What do you think about the casting choice of Alec Baldwin?

An adiabatic process is generally obtained by surrounding the entire system with a strongly insulating material or by carrying out the process so quickly that there is no time for a significant heat transfer to take place.
Applying the first law of thermodynamics to an adiabatic process, we obtain:
delta-U = -WSince delta-U is the change in internal energy and W is the work done by the system, what we see the following possible outcomes:
- A system that expands under adiabatic conditions does positive work, so the internal energy decreases.
- A system that contracts under adiabatic conditions does negative work, so the internal energy increases.
The compression and expansion strokes in an internal-combustion engine are both approximately adiabatic processes. What little heat transfers outside of the system is negligible and virtually all of the energy change goes into moving the piston.

President Obama today:
"When I saw an article today that indicates that Wall Street bankers had given themselves $20 billion worth of bonuses, the same amount of bonuses as they gave themselves in 2004, at a time when most of these institutions are teetering on collapse and they are asking for taxpayers to help sustain them, and when taxpayers find themselves in the difficult position that if they don't provide help then the entire system could come down on top of our heads, that is the height of irresponsibility," President Obama told reporters.
"It is shameful."
I will never defend Wall Street pay practices as they are basically indefensible, but I think the President chose his words poorly. If it is irresponsible for bankers to spend money they've borrowed from taxpayers, is it not equally irresponsible for the administration to spend money they've borrowed? Now, I know that many will draw the distinction that the bankers are enriching themselves and politicians are spending the money for the public good (as dubious as I and others find that argument), but that is a moral question, not one of responsibility. If the President meant that is was irresponsible for the bankers to spend the money when they need to replenish their balance sheets, that is not a moral question but one of judgement.
The President is outraged about the bonuses and rightly so, but this is what happens when government intervenes in markets. There are always unintended consequences. How much would have been paid out in bonuses if the government hadn't stepped in with new capital for the banks? What would banks have done if the government hadn't forced capital down their throats? Without taxpayer capital the banks would have faced some tough choices. Do we cut our dividend? Do we pay bonuses this year? Do we sell new stock or debt to raise capital? Government funding allowed them to avoid those hard choices.
The stimulus package that is about to pass in Congress and be signed by the President is no different. It will allow us to borrow and spend and avoid the hard choices. How is that any different than what the bankers did? It is every bit as irresponsible for the administration to borrow money and spend it as they see fit. The banks and the country face the same problem – a lack of capital. Neither will replenish their capital by continuing their past spending practices.
President Obama said something else at the presser for Geithner that I found interesting. He said something to the effect that the banks shouldn't be doing this while we're trying to "dig our way out of a hole". Maybe Mr. Obama hasn't done much manual labor so I've got a news flash for him. You don't dig your way out of a hole. The first step in the process of filling a hole is to stop digging. That applies to economies as much as holes. Please stop digging.

I fully agree with your view. Its the US govt and their fed that are doing the everything in their capacity to act irresponsibly. The amazing thing is taxpayers voted those who "promised" in their election campaigns to loot them in the name of supporting worsening economy. But that's how "system" works. A govt soldier kills and gets honored while if you or I kill an enemy, we get jailed. "Might is Right" and mostly in democracies those who are "Right" don't have the "Might" because majority of people are myopic and too naive to understand realities. They vote in those who can move masses on rhetoric.
Don't expect sanity in "DEMOREP" days…
In my blog I express similar feelings very often.

Hey guys and gals, here we are at the first of the two match-ups that I simultaneously look forward to/dread every season.
The Packers are coming down to Soldier Field this week, and man, these two teams play each other tough. Free free to drop any questions you might have about any of the following topics:
- Our insane Offensive Coordinator
- Our not-particularly-good Offensive Line
- Our lack of depth at key positions
...or any other topics that strike your fancy. I and some others will do our best to try and get you answers, and if not, well, we'll just make something up.
Oh, and, congrats on that Super Bowl or whatever. While I don't necessarily like the Packers, I've always had respect for a franchise that's run the right way, and has a true sense of tradition for the game. Kudos to you for that.
If you could drop a rec or two to keep this near the top of the list, that'd be great.
Fire away!

I was saddened Saturday morning to learn that former Western Boone swimming and diving head coach Duane Swisher had been killed in a bicycle accident in Fountain County.
In my five years at the Lebanon Reporter, I have had the pleasure of working with numerous great coaches and people. Swisher was one of the ones that stood out though.
I cannot remember a single time that I interviewed or talked to the man when he wasn't smiling and upbeat.
Even when his Stars swimming teams had lost, or a team had struggled through an early season practice, Swisher would answer every question I had about the team and how he really liked the direction the team was headed and how hard the kids were working.
His coaching resume was impressive, compiling more than 400 dual meet wins in his 30-year career in charge of the Western Boone and South Vermillion programs. His teams won seven sectional titles.
With Swisher, it was never about him and his accolades — it was all about the students.
I will never forget when Swisher achieved his 400th dual meet win, on Jan. 26, 2012, against Lebanon.
While I knew at that time Swisher had been at Western Boone for a long time, I wasn't aware he was approaching such a milestone.
After the meet, which saw the Western Boone boys win for victory No. 400, I conducted my normal interview with Swisher. As we were walking out of Lebanon's pool, Swisher just said "if you want to make note of it, today was my 400th career win."
Needless to say the interview got extended.
"It is kind of exciting," Swisher said that day. "You don't plan for that, but when it happens you make note of it and it is something that is an accomplishment you have to be proud of."

How to Drill Holes in Cabochons and More!
Make your own Pendants and Beads!
Remember last summer when you were lounging at the ocean, gathering up little smooth stones, chunks of sea glass and lovely shells? Where is that stuff? Go get it. Its the middle of winter and this is a great way to bring a bit of summer back into our current cold, blustery days!
Creating Found Object Art
You just need a few simple tools to get started. First, you need a drill. I recommend a Dremel drill. You can find them at all hardware stores, and they are pretty inexpensive. Especially if you were smart enough to buy one around Fathers Day when they are on sale. :-) Anyway, a Dremel is a small hand held drill that has about 5 speeds on it. You can also buy an attachment that fits on the end of the drill that looks like a long tube with a pen
attached. You put your drill bit into the pen and and voila! You've got a comfy hand held drill thats easy to manipulate and less intimidating than holding a big drill. Another option is to use a drill press that you can insert your Dremmel into, and you'll have hands free drilling.
You'll need a drill bit that's meant for this type of drilling, also. I use a 1.4 mm diamond drill bit. You can choose the size you like to work with, based on the size of hole you want. Just make sure it's a diamond bit. You need a strong bit to go through glass.
Get Yourself Set Up
Your work area is simple to set up. You need a flat surface to work on, preferably away from a food area. Don't work in your kitchen, since bits of stuff can fly around. You don't want glass slivers in your banana bread, you know what I mean? So work in the garage or a cellar or in a back room. Better if there isn't any carpet near your work area. Safety first. Next you'll need a small can, such as the largest size of tuna fish can you can find. Use a piece of silly putty or earthquake putty (if you live on the west coast you know what this
is!) to stick in the center bottom of the can. You're going to use this to hold your glass or stone so it won't move while being drilled.
Select your First Victim
(I mean pendant-to-be)
Begin with something sort of ugly. You know, pick a stone that isn't the best, so you can practice on it. Go out in your driveway and get one if you must. Stick it down in the putty so that you have accessible the side that you want drilled. Now this is important: fill the can with water until the top of the stone is just covered, especially the drilling area. The water is going to act as a coolant and will prevent your stone from cracking. Ok, got your water? Great.
Let's make a hole!
Now when you start to drill, you're going to do it like this: hold the drill in a straight up and down position so that the hole will be straight. Hold the drill firmly so that the bit won't go skidding across the surface of the stone. (Now you know why you need practice pieces.) You're going to touch the drill bit down semi-firmly, like you mean it, but then lift the drill bit out of the hole so water can pool inside it. Repeat. You can do it pretty quickly, too. Touch down, lift, touch down, lift, etc. When you're almost all the way though, Stop. Flip your stone over and begin to drill from the other side. This will prevent a blow out or chipping the stone or glass where the hole should be. It takes practice to do this, so don't be hard on yourself. Glass and stone will pretty much drill the same. Anything else may be unpredictable, so a practice piece is necessary.
When I first got going with drilling, I went absolutely mental and nothing was safe. I drilled bottle caps that I had hammered flat, and made wind chimes out of them. I drilled guitar picks and made earrings and pendants. In a book store I found gorgeous pieces of flat, polished stones that were sitting in a basket, and they made fantastic pendants. River stones are earthy and have great contrast when you pair them with beads in necklaces. The stained glass stores sometimes will sell small pieces of different glass that have great patterns, textures and colors. Get yourself a glass cutter and make some links. There's only one thing you have to beware of.
Shells: Drill with Caution!
Seashell dust is toxic, and I don't mean a little bit toxic. You can really hurt yourself if you breath it in, or get it into your eyes, a cut or sore, or ingest it. Sometimes the particulates are so small you don't realize they're in the air around you. When you breathe this dust in,
it gets embedded in your lungs and it won't come out. It will literally be there forever, and it's toxic. If you want to drill shells, do your homework. Research so you know as much about it as possible so you know what you're getting yourself into. First you have to have an excellent mask to protect your lungs. Next, work outside. Clean your work area thoroughly and wear old clothes that you can change right out of. Gloves would be smart, too. Make protecting yourself and others your first priority. If you should ingest or breathe in this dust, seek medical attention. It's a serious thing.
Now, if I haven't scared the crap out of you, you should drill with wild abandon! Glass, ceramic, stone and metal should be drilled under water. Pods, seads, nuts and natural things that are soft can be drilled without water. This will open up a whole new world for you and you can make one of a kind centerpieces for your work. It's a great way to make a signature piece. Have fun, be safe and happy drilling!

Underrated: "He Never Really Got All The Chances He Needed To Be On The Front Street"
Tuesday, Jan 24, 2012 12:15AM
[City of Dreams: Each week, SOHH asks entertainment personalities to name who they feel is the most underrated emcee in hip-hop. After rap veteran Mysonne gave himself the honor, Swizz Beatz crowns former Ruff Ryders member Drag-On SOHH Underrated.]
I would say Drag-On is my choice for SOHH Underrated. I just feel like he never really got all of the chances he needed to be on the front street.
But when people hear him in his verses and people get a chance to see him doing his thing, it's always like, "Oh! I remember I used to love Drag!" That's why I have to name him the most underrated.
Another thing you have to keep in mind is that Drag is still young. His lyrical capabilities can put pressure on a lot of people out there. It's just an unfortunate situation but he's definitely underrated though.
Drag can rap on any flow, on any beat. That's why I loved when we were working on albums together. When we were doing "Twisted Heat" him and Twista kept changing up the beat from speeding it up to slowing it down.
Drag is just that type of artist who can flip it up like that.
Swizz Beatz is a producer, DJ, rapper and painter. At the age of 17, he gained attention in the hip-hop world through his friendship with rapper DMX. Grady Spivey and rapper Cassidy helped launch his label Full Surface Records. He is also the Creative Director over at Reebok.
Check out Drag-On's music below:

Starting senior defensive tackle Brennan Olander is out of the Washington St. game, after having injured his pectoral muscle close to the shoulder last Saturday in the UCLA game. Junior Kevin Frahm will start in his place, and the change could be permanent.
Further reports from the doctor are still pending, but if the injury is a significant tear, it could be a season, and therefore career, ending injury.
"I have not gotten word from the doctor for how long, but I think it could be the remainder of the season," Oregon St. coach Mike Riley said at today's press conference at the Valley Football Center.
The injury strains an already thin defensive line, since Castro Masaniai is also out for the rest of the year, after separating his shoulder in the California game two weeks ago. Masaniai is scheduled for surgery soon, in order to be ready for spring practice.
Andrew Seumalo will move in from defensive end to tackle to fill out the rotation, especially necessary as Stephen Paea is still recovering from a sore knee, leaving defensive end very thin. Gabe Miller and Dominic Glover will get spelled very sparingly, as only Taylor Henry remains at the position with very many snaps.
There was some good news on the injury front, however, as WR Jordan Bishop, who played very sparingly at UCLA, due to a bruised shoulder, is doing better, and TE Brady Camp has been cleared after being out since the Arizona St. game with a deep lower back bruise. Now, its just a matter of getting back in game shape for Camp.

A dog named Bruiser was found starved and later euthanized by a vet. The vet must've thought he couldn't save the dog, although it was alive when found. They mentioned in the article that the body temperature couldn't be read. Is this the sign that it is too late?
It's been bothering me that just maybe, they should have tried harder to save this dog when in another famous dog starvation case, Patrick, the dog. Patrick was successfully nursed back to a healthy dog. They gave him a round the clock care, even giving him blood transfusion. How was it that Patrick was saved but not Bruiser? What do vets see?

Like I said before, I'm new to the website and I was wondering if you guys make Fantasy La Liga teams on any websites? I think it would be fun if we all made fantasy teams then made our own awesome Villarreal group and had a friendly competition between us all. Maybe the winner at the end of the season wins a pretty new Villarreal jersey? haha even with no prize I think it would be a fun thing to do!
I made my team on Yahoo: http://us.superliga.fantasysports.yahoo.com/football
EDIT by maddi: See the comments below to sign up for the Villarreal USA group! (and just be prepared, as I plan to dominate this league!)

Bismarck firefighters responded to an eight unit apartment building at 922 N 4th Street shortly after 5:00 yesterday evening.
The fire originated on a main floor apartment.
Five fire crews were involved in rescue.
When first responders arrived on the scene, they thought everyone had left the building safely, but two women were still inside. Fire crews rescued one woman out of her window, and the other woman jumped from a second floor apartment and was injured. Both were treated and released from local hospitals.
Occupants of all eight units were displaced by the fire, and are being housed temporarily by the Red Cross.
Preliminary damage estimates are roughly $100,000.

Richardson Sunroom Enclosures
When looking for sunroom contractors, you need to make sure that they have a state license. Before a company is licensed, the contractor should have mastered the state building codes and have gone through a background check. Ensure that the contractor is bonded and has workers compensation insurance. This is going to protect you in the event there is some sort of damage in your home.
Ask for references. It is essential to deal with contractors for sunroom installation or sunroom repair who have an impressive track record. Find out from former and current clients how their experience with the contractor was. This is going to give you an insight on how satisfied you are going to be with the project. Contractors that belong to groups such as Better Business Bureau says a lot about the professional.
You can shake hands when sealing a deal but this is not going to help you at all in the event there is a problem. Make sure that you get a written contract. The contract should say when, where and how much the whole project is going to cost. Due to the fact that sunrooms contractors need to subcontract some tasks like plumbing, electrical and concrete work, you have to know upfront what is being included in your quote.
Choose a company that is able to design and manufacture your sunroom to blend in with the rest of your home. To be able to meet the required dimensions, a lot of sunroom contractors use standard sized doors, opaque windows and filler materials as well as knee walls which obstruct the occupants view of the outdoors. Look for a company that is able to provide you with a floor to ceiling and wall to wall glass that is of high quality. The aim of a sunroom is to give you an outdoor experience but still maintain the indoor comfort. This experience is going to be diminished if you will not be able to see the outdoors.
The last thing any homeowner wants is having contractors in and out of your home for weeks on end. Make sure to get a realistic estimated time that it will take for the project to be completed and how soon your sunroom is going to be ready for you to move into. Some of the most established sunroom contractors and companies are able to construct a customized sunroom for you in about two to five days depending on the complexity and the size of the room after foundation preparations and permitting have been completed.
Find out if the contractors offer warranty. Since your sunroom is going to comprise mostly of glass, be sure to pay close attention to how glass damage is covered more so if you have insulated glass with an inert gas barrier. When gas escapes, the insulation is not going to be active anymore. Warranties are good but if the company or contractor you choose is not a solid one and goes out of business, the warranty is going to be worthless.
Which Of These Richardson Sunroom Enclosures Suit You The Best?
Many people think that a sunroom is the best room in the house that is why they invest in the room's decor. The feature that distinguishes the sunroom form other rooms is that it is surrounded by glass windows instead of walls. The transparent windows allow the sunrays to penetrate the room so that people who live in the house enjoy multiple benefits of the sun.
A well furnished and an adequate sunroom not only allows you to draw warmth from the sun but also lets you enjoy the view outside your home. You do not have to sit at the window to see the mountain range across your house. You can do so sitting on your sofa in the sunroom. The large windows give you an unobstructed view of the panorama and allow you to breathe in the aesthetic energy that the beauty of nature brings with it.
One Season Sunroom
The window screens of the sunroom is made of a single layer of glass. It protects you from excessive heat and rain. You can only use the one season sunroom when it is warm during winter your one season sunroom will become extremely cold.
Two Season Sunroom
The window screens are made of double layer of glass. The insulation keeps the room temperature at a level and it does not fall or rise with the temperature outside the room.
Three Season Sunroom
It is made of triple layers of glass and aluminum window frames. The strong insulation sustains the inside temperature. You can use it in all three seasons expect when it gets very cold.
Four Season Sunroom
A sunroom made of e-glass allows only the sunlight to pass through. The room temperature does not vary at all with the change in climate. You can use the room during winters as well. It feels great to see snowfall and the land and trees covered in snow. The rainbow colors in the sky look amazing at sunrise and at sunset.
Sunrooms in Recreational Vehicles
People who want to experience nature and live a camper's life purchase trailers. Some recreational vehicles come with arch shaped sunrooms that open and close like a huge flap. The rooms have thin flexible frames and transparent flexible material that allows you to enjoy the sun. People usually drive to secluded spots and open up the compact flaps to enjoy the benefits of the perfectly built and artistic sunrooms.
A custom made sun room will at least cost $5000 which can extend up to ten times the amount but a do-it-yourself sunroom will cost you approximately $1500. You must get all the information and fact and figures that you need before you start building a sunroom. You must research the market and the Internet thoroughly before buying material. You should also consult a sunroom installation expert or a sunroom repair expert for his advice.
You must have a sunroom at your place. You can install it at the ground level or the first storey whatever suits you. A sunroom will fit any roof top or will serve as an extension to any of your rooms.

rene geneva: ecouture
Rene Geneva began her eco fashion business after inheriting her grandmother's Singer sewing machine. Her first large contract job was by Entertain Fla., Inc to design and manufacture costumes for Universal Studio's parade performers. This inspired her to explore her design talents further, while committing to utilize organic materials and use fair trade labor.
In 2005, Geneva headed to Nicaragua to work with a fair wage, fair trade women's textile cooperative. Training them in the elements of corsetry and applique, she enabled them to produce her latest designs, and to expand their professional capabilities and fair trade income. Rene has since helped several communities in developing countries with artisan sewing skills.

(09/25/12) - A tiny, glowing robot can travel inside your body, and make it easier to relive back pain. The robot is a sort of special assistant for surgeons performing spinal fusion. The surgery is very common. The robot is hoped to lead to better accuracy, which will ultimately mean better outcomes for patients.
Gail and Paul Wells met and fell in love after they both lost their spouses.
"We just clicked," Gail says.
The newlyweds love to travel, but long trips were painful for Gail. "Sitting was really difficult."
She had degenerative spinal stenosis.
"The result of that is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which is a very common problem that we see as we get older," says Dr. Faissal Zahrawi, of Florida Hospital.
Dr. Zahrawi suggested spinal fusion for Gail. But, instead of free-handing the hardware into Gail's back, he used a tiny, green, lit-up robot called Mazor Renaissance.
"The robot aids in the insertion of these screws and rods," Zahrawi says.
Before the procedure, detailed scans are taken giving surgeons a 3D look at the spine, Zahrawi says, "which we've never seen before."
Information from those scans is then sent to the robot. During the operation, the robot guides surgeons to where the hardware needs to go.
Dr. Zahrawi says the traditional, free-hand technique can be up to 5 percent off the mark, but the robot gets him within one millimeter, "the safety factor is huge."
A month after surgery, Gail is back on track. "Oh, I'm walking miles, sometimes five miles a day."
It is also estimated the robot will cut down on radiation exposure by 80 percent, because fewer X-rays are needed during surgery.
