Tina Beckett comes from a family of entrepreneurs. Her father and husband have all owned small businesses. And so it came as a natural move for her to also start her own company.
First, she leased space for a skincare company in another community. Now she is poised to open the doors of a Massage Envy franchise along Silver Spring Drive in Whitefish Bay's downtown.
"I know the challenges in, and the excitement in, starting a small business," she said.
Beckett is trained as a microbiologist and worked for a time for Miller Brewery. She has a long resume of accomplishments. But it was the field of biology that led her to a keen appreciation for the human body and a career dedicated toward helping people better take care of it.
The massage business was the natural extension of that focus. Beckett, of Milwaukee, chose Whitefish Bay for the new business because she felt that Silver Spring Drive is a thriving area for small businesses, adding that the village was particularly welcoming to her. "The demographics of the community are a good fit," she said. The spa will offer skin care treatments and massage therapy at its location at 109 E. Silver Spring Drive.
The spa will open in November; the grand opening is Nov. 23. Its website is already up. For more information, including on the grand opening, people can call 414-831-0831.

"We are excited to open our doors in time for the busy holiday season and provide a wonderful new spa to visit for relaxation and as a part of much needed wellness therapies for our clients," Beckett said.
The spa will feature:
- 4,000 square feet of space
- 13 massage therapy and face rooms
- Member relaxation rooms
The spa is designed to cater to people with busy schedules. Thus, it will be open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays, and on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
People can sign up for a monthly membership that allows them steeply discounted rates for massages, she added.
Beckett said she is hoping that the membership concept will encourage people to partake in massages more regularly, which is when people truly see the physical and psychological benefit of them.
Beckett is the founder and CEO of Nutshell Enterprises, through which she provided organizational management and strategic services to clients, including non-profit, private and government entities. At Miller Brewing Co., she worked as manager of supplier diversity and procurement contracts, gaining national recognition for increasing the company's commercial relationships with small businesses.
She worked with ManpowerGroup for almost two years in a similar role just prior to purchasing the Massage Envy Spa franchise license. Beckett was recognized in 2008 as the Recipient of the Business Journal's Women of Influence Award and received the Small Business Administration's award for Small Business Advocate in 2005.
The Massage Envy franchise is one of over 800 Massage Envy Spas nationwide.

State Higher Ed. Officials Discuss Change in Pell Grant ProgramBy Lawayne Childrey | Published 23 Aug 2013 09:09am |
Photo Credit: Some rights reserved by Tax Credits (Flickr)
College leaders across Mississippi are discussing recent changes in the way low income families receive help paying for college.
When Congress reduced the maximum amount a person can make to qualify for a Pell Grant from $32,000 to $23,000 annually, it put an automatic burden on colleges and universities in Mississippi. That's what Dr. Steve Katsinas, Director of the University of Alabama Education Policy Center told education leaders in Jackson yesterday.
"Because rural people tend to attend and graduate and stay at the colleges and universities they attend, so if Pell is the largest program to help adults access and succeed in higher education, it's the most important human resource development program for adults your state has," explains Katsinas.
Katsinas recently conducted a study that shows new Pell Grant requirements have already eliminated nearly nine thousand potential students in Mississippi. Eric Clark, Executive Director of the state's Community College Board says a significant number of those reductions are in community college enrollment.
"In other words, we thing that 3,400 more students would be in Mississippi community colleges now, but couldn't afford to go based on the Pell Grant eligibility becoming tighter and then, it's a fact of life that having training and education beyond high school is just almost necessary now for a person to get a good paying job," says Clark.
The study shows that one-third of the nations Pell Grants go to students enrolled in rural colleges. Jesse Smith, President of Jones County Junior College says the changes will also effect the way schools do business.
"About 60 percent of your tuition revenue comes from the federal government through the Pell Grant, if you are reducing that, then the only thing that's left to do for a college to make it is to raise their tuition. You can't get more investment from the state, then your only source is to raise the price of the goods that you're selling, if we don't get a hold of this, it's going to get worse," says Smith.
Education leaders say they plan to ask Mississippi's congressional delegation to help return the Pell Grant program to its original requirements.

LAS VEGAS -- Nevada has paid out $277 million to erroneous unemployment insurance claims over the last three years, according to the Department of Labor.
They say about 10 percent of the jobless benefits paid out here are improper. Fifty-nine percent of the improper payments go to people who have found a job but still keep collecting unemployment anyway.
Twenty percent of the time they are due to a mixup over the claimants last day of work.

Thanks to a grant from the Association of Legal Writing Directors (ALWD),Mercer Law School will host a combined ALWD Scholars' Forum & Workshop on Friday, April 15, 2011, in conjunction with the 2011 Southeast Regional Legal Writing Conference.
The ALWD Scholars' Forum & Workshop will precede the conference's Opening Colloquium on Friday, April 15. The Friday morning sessions will be devoted to small group forums or workshops on scholarly works in progress. Depending on the interests of participants, the forums or workshops may be structured along specific disciplinary tracks or by subject matter, experience, or stage in the writing process.
The Scholars' Forum is designed for the earlier stages of scholarly work while the Scholars' Workshop is designed for those with substantial drafts of works in progress. Participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis as long as they are working on scholarly legal writing topics (broadly defined) and pursuing the goal of researching and writing a scholarly publication, including books, articles, or essays. Workshop (but not forum) participants will be asked to provide a completed draft at least three weeks before the workshop (March 25, 2011) so that the draft may be distributed to other workshop participants.
Experienced scholars will join the forums or workshops as facilitators or guides. We expect to limit participation to no more than sixteen participants total, preferably divided into groups of four, with each group to have at least one experienced scholar available to help guide discussion.
The Southeast Regional Legal Writing Conference's opening day colloquium will focus on feminist and critical theory and feature Professor Martha Fineman, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law at Emory Law School. A panel of legal writing and clinical professors will follow the keynote with a discussion that will provide an impressive range of perspectives and responses to questions about blending critical theory with our professional lives. Following the colloquium, we hope first-day participants will continue their conversations in small group dinners. The second day of the conference will feature a full day of panels and presentations drawing on interdisciplinary theory, practice perspectives, and experience to take another look at legal writing teaching, theory, and practice.
If you are interested in participating in an ALWD Scholars' Forum or Workshop, please provide the following information and e-mail it to Suzianne Painter-Thorne (email@example.com) no later than March 1, 2011.

Meet the Studio Instructors
- classes
- Meet the Studio Instructors
Jane Allingham - Jane brings over 30 years of quilting experience to her classes. While her true passion is for appliqué, she enjoys adding special extras to her quilts, such as piping and hand embroidery. She has worked at the Jinny Beyer Studio since 2005 and, as Customer Service Manager, is the cheerful voice you hear most times when you call the Studio.
Cecile Batchelor - Newly retired, Cecile joined the Jinny Beyer Studio staff in 2012. To keep her from playing with her grandmother's treadle sewing machine, Cecile's mother spent $15 to give her sewing lessons at age 10 and she has been sewing ever since. She has taught many methods of garment construction, and loves to add thread and bead embellishment to most sewn objects. She is now turning her energy to an in-depth exploration of fiber art. Cecile is dedicated to her church and enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her six grandchildren.
Nancy Fallone - Born in New York City and raised in its suburbs, Nancy was not exposed to quilts until she moved to New England in the late 1980s. Quilting became a passion a decade later when she joined her local Virginia guild. A twist of fate brought her onto the Jinny Beyer Hilton Head Seminar staff, followed by the opportunity to join Jinny's Studio staff in Great Falls. Since then her good fortune has continued with her quilts being exhibited nationally along with the chance to teach classes based on her love of scrap quilts and making use of even the tiniest bits of fabric.
Barbara Hollinger – Barbara comes from a long line of quilters. She learned to sew from her mother when she was a child and dabbled in quilting for a period after graduating from college. It wasn't until she retired from her engineering career that she was able to explore the craft from all angles, letting her technical background influence her perception of shape, color and composition. She has been a regular contributor to the magazine Machine Quilting Unlimited and manages the Jinny Beyer Studio in Great Falls, Virginia. She is an active member in her local and regional guild as well as Fiber Artists @ Loose Ends. She has taught and exhibited nationally as well as being on staff at the Jinny Beyer Seminar in Hilton Head, SC.
Diane Kirkhart - Diane began her quilting career in the 90s but has been a garment sewer since she was a child, learning her skills from her mother. She is an award-winning appliquér and hand quilter. Because of her exceptional handwork, she was chosen by Ellie Sienkiewicz to quilt a piece for her which appeared in a special exhibit in Houston in 2010 and later in Ellie's book, Ellie Sienkiewicz's Beloved Baltimore Album Quilts.
Linda Marcinowski - Linda has been working at the Studio for 10 years and was a staff member at Jinny's annual Hilton Head Seminar for several years. She learned to sew clothing from her grandmother when she was 5 and taught herself to quilt when her children were in high school. Linda loves all methods of quilting, and usually has several projects going at once. Helping people solve quilting quandaries is what she enjoys most and learning something new every day is divine.
Kristi Minnema – Kristi's first quilt, made in the late 1970s, was a king-sized log cabin using a pattern out of Woman's Day magazine. While living in Kentucky in 1983, she started taking lessons at a local quilt shop and eventually began teaching classes there. When her children were younger, her love of smocking soon took up more of her time than quilting and led to an award at the Woodlawn Plantation show. Kristi has been a Studio staff member for several years and enjoys machine piecing and quilting in addition to her skilled hand work.
Carole Nicholas - Carole learned English paper piecing while she lived in West Africa in the 1970s, then moved to southern California where a whole new world of quilting was waiting to be explored. When she arrived in Virginia in the 80s, she was invited to join Jinny Beyer's Hilton Head Seminar staff and was the Coordinator for many years until the Seminar ended in 2009. Carole is a member of Fiber Artists @ Loose Ends which has been involved in the Healing Quilts in Medicine and Art Under The Microscope projects. She is also on the board of the Sacred Threads Exhibit, teaches quilting, volunteers to build houses all over the world with Habitat for Humanity, and is a proud grandmother of six.
Ricki Selva - A fourth generation quilter, Ricki was raised on a west St. Louis County farm and left home (with her grandmother's Featherweight) to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1976. When she left the Air Force, she took up quilting and five years later began teaching. Ricki joined Jinny's Hilton Head Quilting Seminar staff in 1997. Her work has appeared in magazines and books including Jinny's Quilters Album of Patchwork Patterns. Her hobbies include photography, travel, volunteering world-wide for Habitat for Humanity, and spending time with her pet-beasts.

Cal's rejection of Jane (a "sure thing" if there ever was one) is stingingly echoed in Alyssa Day's The Cursed. Rio Jones is a bike messenger living in a dimensional fold in Manhattan between the human and supernatural realms, who has a wild crush on Luke Oliver, a private investigator and the top wizard of Bordertown. But when she gets up her courage to ask him out, he tells her bluntly that he doesn't have time for "meaningless flings." Ouch. Luke is hiding a secret of his own

Full time F-1 and J-1 students are eligible for "casual" employment on campus, defined at Columbia as an employee on the Columbia University payroll who is performing non-exempt work (i.e., hours worked are tracked) for a limited period of time. This does NOT include work-study positions (work-study is a government subsidized financial aid program for U.S. citizens and permanent residents).
Optional Practical Training (OPT) is a benefit of F-1 student status that allows students to gain experience in their field of study by applying for off-campus work authorization. Students in F-1 status are eligible for 12 months of OPT per educational degree level. OPT may be granted and used before graduation (pre-completion OPT ) for part-time work during the school year or full time work during vacation periods.

The New Testament also quotes the Old Testament. The Catholic church is dead less than 1 out of a thousand go to church or know anything about it.

Simona Halep – One Last Look
Posted On 01 Jun 2009
Comment: Off
It's a sad day for us all.
Simona Halep, the 17-year-old tennis sensation from Romania, lost in her first-ever French Open appearance earlier this week. But that's not why the entire blogosphere is disappointed.
No, it was her announcement that she will be undergoing breast-reduction surgery in order to increase her chances of being a competitive pro, that sent shockwaves throughout the ogling community, a mere four months before we could legally enjoy her wicked … forehand.
Good luck to Miss Halep, although I think her tennis notoriety – remarkably strong for a player ranked No. 496 in the world – will be greatly reduced once she gets reduced.

After a trend of pg's taking advantage of ours. In a tightly contested Western Conference, have you realized all of the contenders with the exception of the Lakers have an all star pointguard or past all star? The Lakers have a veteran point guard in Derek Fisher who has lots of experience. We have two undersized youngsters with a 1 year of playoff experience between the two. I decided to write this post about what to expect from the playoffs.
And sidenote. I don't care who we play. Why make such a big deal about being in the playoffs if we don't have hopes in winning it all. Meaning we'll have to play half of these teams anyway. I don't care if we match up horribly against them. I'd prefer a hard played series rather than coasting. And in the western conference that's what your going to get.
1. Lakers- I am 100% sure we won't drop down to the 8th seed, but anything can happen in the NBA. Lakers are a very experienced team. They have arguably the best player in the game today in Kobe Bryant. Their front court is monstrous. Pau Gasol+Lamar Odom? Oh, by the way, there's a 275 pound baby coming back too. Honestly, I wouldn't mind facing the Lakers. I think we've been relatively consistent on them and every game was down to the wire. But fact is, anyone facing Kobe in the playoffs, is in for some trouble. But also another fact is, the 2 people that give Kobe the most trouble is on the same team.
Brooks-Fisher. I think his speed will offset the strength mismatch. Brooks blowing by whereas Fisher will post up.
Kobe-Crazy Pills/Shane. Barring trashtalking to make Kobe go crazy. Kobe should have a subpar performance. 25/4/6. Ron...I'm not even going to guess what he'll put up. I just pray that it doesn't hurt us....much. Shane will get his usualy 2-3 3's against the Lakers. Play astounding defense/help defense on Kobe. Enough said.
Scola-Gasol. Argentina-Spain. Epic battle. Gasol has size on Scola but Scola has more hustle. Although I think Gasol will have the better game.
Yao-Bynum. Bynum has no playoff experience. Will be just coming off of injury. Yao has been on a roller coaster of beasterdom and shawn bradleyesque. But I think Yao will completely demolish Bynum.
Battle of the benches. Lakers bench is deep. Odom will probably be coming off the bench when Bynum comes back. But our bench usually does well against their's. So I don't see why that won't continue.
Lakers 4-2. But we will not see them in the first round. Guaranteed.
2. Spurs- I just don't want to play them because I think any Spurs game is boring to watch. All seriousness aside, let's get to the matchup. Spurs have one of the best duos in the game. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. Oh, and some Manu Ginobili kid coming off the bench. Comes off the bench so he shouldn't do much damage right?
Brooks-Parker. This is the matchup i want to see most. The starting product vs the finished product. The student vs the teacher. We all know that best case scenario, Brooks is going to finish his career known as a Tony Parker who can shoot. I think the teacher will win this one. Too much experience, and he just seems so comfortable doing what he does. Whereas Brooks seems forced and out of sync.
Ginobili-Rawn/Shane. I don't know if Manu's ankle will have any lingering effects. He's toned down a lot offensively although he's prone to go off for 40 points on any given night.
Scola-Bonner. Bonner is a poor man's Okur. Okur...is not much. If you know math. That means Bonner is less than nothing. Granted, Bonner will get some 3's from the defensive attention from the trio but that's all you can count on him for. Scola will dominate the post and the rebounds.
Yao-Duncan. Duncan always seems to have an off night when going against Yao. Actually any center against Yao seems to have an off night. Maybe it has something to do with God's gift in the form of a physical beast in their face. Just maybe? Yao also usually has a good night against the Spurs so this should go in Yao's favor.
Battle of the benches. I don't consider Manu coming off the bench. He finishes games and that's what you call a starter in my opinion. Spurs bench is not deep at all. I see our bench giving us a boost.
Spurs 4-2. I also guarantee we won't see them in the first round
3. Nuggets Only way we play them is if we both go down to 4 and 5 seed. They've got a solid starting 5. But after that....it goes downhill. They play very uptempo so it is to our disadvantage. They have many athletic players where as we have many hustling, skilled players. Our center is tall and skinny. Their point guard is tall and skinny. Battle of opposites.
Billups-Brooks. I see Billups manhandling Brooks. He's too skilled, big, clutch, and too good of a defender for Aaron. ABZ should have 1 or 2 breakout games. But throughout it should be relatively quiet.
Carmelo Smith-Shane Artest. Smith is a poor man's Kobe. Shane/Ron gives Kobe trouble. Shane/Ron will give Smith anal abusing. Carmelo is a poor man's Lebron. See the last Rockets-Cavs game? Expect that.
Scola-Martin. Skill vs brute physicality. This should be a battle. This will be the matchup to see. A behind the scenes player vs an in your face player. I think they should even each other out. And I would guess that Kenyon will get a few tech's in this series.
Yao-Nene. After injury Nene came back and is having a great year. He has good offensive skills and is a great defender. But Yao, like in all other matchups, is just a freak. Yao will get embarrassed...multiple times. But in the end Yao will have the last laugh.
Benches- No depth to Nuggets. None. Except Chris Anderson. But not much to expect from him. Our bench will exploit this and run over theirs.
Rockets 4-3. If we just play consistently, this should be ours.
4. Jazz The Rockets worst enemy. Either you would love to play them, or you would hate to play them. Me? Look at the top. I don't care who we have to go through, as long as we go through them. Yeah. We match up like shits against them. But doesn't that also mean, they match up horribly against us? Except this past game, Okur cannot guard Yao. Scola will get his points from wherever he wants. No one can stop Ron's strength and shooting. Shane's 3's looking wetter than ever.
Brooks-Williams. Like all other matchups. This is in favor of the other team. Brooks will get his points though. WIlliams will just get more and have about 6 more assists.
Brewer-Artest/Battier. Expect last game. But less offensive production from Brewer and Battier and more from Artest. And more more more defensive production from Battier and Artest.
Boozer/Okur-Scola/Yao Cross matchup. Okur cannot guard Yao. Boozer can't stop Scola's cutting. Hopefully Boozer's shots down fall because he will have that shot the whole series. Okur should be guarded pretty well by Scola.
Bench With Carl Landy back during the playoffs. Our bench will not get abused like it did the last game. Although their bench still has the slight advantage. It will close the gap a lot.
Rockets 4-3. Homecourt advantage is key.
5. Hornets Any team with a franchise player is dangerous. ie Lakers. Good thing Hornets don't have as good a supporting cast. But playing with Chris Paul makes anyone better. Hell, he made David West an all star. Tyson Chandler seem like he is an offensive machine from all the alley oops. I don't think Hornets have what it takes to beat the Rockets at all. With CP3, he'll keep the games close but not close enough.
Paul-Brooks Paul will average 20/10 in the series. Unless Sleepy does the smart thing and start Lowry and give Paul tougher looks. Brooks won't be able to do much against Paul because he's just as fast, and stronger. Hopefully after the first 4 misses, Brooks will get the picture and exploit other mismatches on the floor and rack up some assists.
Stojakovic/Butler-Battier/Artest Peja has had a quiet season and has been injured. I don't see anything changing. Butler, is a very quiet starter. That said he's pretty consistent in that he's not talked about much. This favors Rockets greatly.
West-Scola I hate David West. He's a dirty player. Without Chris Paul he would not be an all star. Even still, he's talented and is a very good player. But I think Scola drives anyone that guards him crazy. He cuts to the basket so many times. Hornets have a slight advantage.
Chandler-Yao. Yao will post a quadruple double.
Bench. Hornets bench consists of many could have beens. Our bench is clearly superior.
Rockets 4-1 Yao will dominate this matchup. Only brightside for Hornets is CP.
6 Trailblazers I hate the Trailblazers for only one reason. The one game early this season that Brandon Roy won on a buzzer beater 30 footer. Other than that. I kind of like this team. It's young and has a ton of upside. They are one of the most improved teams. But they will not get far in the playoffs. Hold me to this.
Blake-Brooks Pass first point guard vs shoot first point guard. brooks will throw up a lot of shots. 1/3 probably shots he shouldn't take. Blake will probably get 7-8 assists. Shouldn't be a good matchup. 2 complete different styles of pg's.
Roy/Batum-Battier/Artest Anyone else notice that Roy, can score wherever whenever he wants. Don't look at the box score. Look at the game. When he wants to score, he scores. End of story. He's kind of inconsistent on defense but overall a good defender. I don't know too much about Batum but that he can shoot. Matchup should be fun to watch.
Aldridge-Scola 2 hard working players. Both shoot the mid range, and crash the boards. Aldridge is better face up. Scola is better posting up. Whoever wants it more should have the better game.
Pryzbilla/Oden-Yao Yao gets to relax on 1 on 1 defense. More energy for offense. P/O are both good defenders but Yao is an even better offensive force.
Bench Blazers are pretty deep. But too young. Oldest is 25 years old. Actually I should say the least youngest? Their bench will be too inconsistent to match up with ours.
Rockets 4-1 Being a young team. They're bound to get energetic and win a game.
7. Mavericks Mavs along with the Suns are the clear upsets this season. Mavs had high hopes, but they've degraded each season the past few years. Jason Kidd is not getting any younger. He turned 36 a few days ago. That's OLD!!!!! This team is too old, as proven by their degrading. It's now or rebuild. I think it's the latter.
Kidd-Brooks Old vs New. Brooks will run circles around Kidd. He's too slow and old to stop AB. On the other end, JK is too experienced, he will school Aaron.
Terry/Howard-Battier/Artest. This is a very dangerous combo. Both are capable of going off on any night. Luckily, they'll be matched up against 2 of the top perimeter defenders to prevent that from happening.
Nowitzki-Scola If Dirk gets hot I hope Rick does the smart thing and sub Chuck Hayes in. He's probably the best defender I've seen in a while. He's completely capable of shutting him down. He'll also make the right passes on offense.
Dampier-Yao Dampier cannot stop Yao. Dampier cannot stop Yao..... Dampier cannot stop Yao.
Bench Mavs have a bunch of no names and 2 decent at best players. Not worried at all about the second unit.
Rockets 4-0 SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
8. Suns. What happened to the Suns. Maybe next season when they get Amare back. They're actually doing pretty good and they have a very solid lineup. But they are so inconsistent. Blow out teams by 40 points. and they lose by 40. Suns have become a disappointment to me. So I'll finish this quickly.
Nash-Brooks. Nash's assists went down and scoring went up. Idk what that means but it will be pretty exciting to watch another Brooks-Nash showdown.
Richardson/Barnes-Artest/Battier A duo of almost beens(does this make sense?) Jrich is too show boaty for the playoffs. Fun to watch in the regular season but that'll pay in the playoffs. Barnes is a dirty player but he hustles. I think Jrich will have a solid game due to his athleticism but Barnes will be locked down and have a subpar game.
Hill-Scola Grant was such an exciting player to watch before he got injured. Scola will just murder him. He's too good of a post player and too smart not to take advantage.
Shaq-Yao the battle everyone wants to see. I'm surprised Diesel is still going this strong this late in the season. His trainer did some work on him. Still, Yao has always got the better end of the matchups. This won't change.
Bench Full of no names. Except Barbosa. No need to worry about him. Knock on wood.
Rockets same prediction as above. i'll say it again b/c it's fun
Rockets 4-0 SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
I planned on this taking only a few minutes with a short analysis for each. but ended up taking a chunk of time. sigh FML.

Concern over soaring death toll on North Yorkshire's roads (From Gazette & Herald)

Concern over soaring death toll on North Yorkshire's roads
Updated 11:20am Wednesday 23rd April 2014 in News
THE number of people killed on North Yorkshire's roads has soared to its highest level in seven years.
Fifty-one peopled died last year, up by 60 per cent on 2012 - with the upsurge partly due to a massive increase in the number of motorcycle fatalities, which more than trebled from five in 2012 to 16 last year.
The number of pedal cyclists killed or injured also rose, causing police particular concern with large numbers of cyclists expected to ride the Tour De France route before and after the Grand Départ in North Yorkshire in July.
The figures, compiled by North Yorkshire County Council's road safety analysts, were described as 'very alarming and worrying' by Cllr Gareth Dadd, executive member for road safety.
"Even allowing for the fact that the total for 2012 was an all-time low, there are still far too many people dying unnecessarily on our roads," he said.
"These figures underline the vital importance of all road users being constantly aware of their surroundings, of their speed, of their driving or riding behaviour, of the presence of others."
Deputy Chief Constable Tim Madgwick of North Yorkshire Police said he was extremely concerned by an increase both in deaths and serious injuries.
"We are urging drivers, motorcyclists and people riding pedal cycles to not only to pay attention to their own behaviour, but also make themselves alert to other people using the roads,"he said.
"The upcoming Grand Depart of the Tour De France will be a spectacular event for the Yorkshire area and we want everybody to have a lasting impression, particularly the expected influx of keen cyclists who will ride the routes before and after the race.
"To keep safe, we strongly encourage cyclists to make themselves fully familiar with the routes and to take every precaution before setting off on a ride."
A report to councillors says there is a gradual but established upward trend in pedal cyclist casualties, which may simply reflect the rising popularity of cycling, and with it a proportionate increase in cyclists being hurt.
"Whatever the reasons, measures to address cyclists' safety and drivers' awareness are being taken in the county and regionally both in the run-up to the Tour de France and beyond."

Hardly any Traffic officers left hence little or no prescence on major roads let alone minor ones. When did you last see a proper large patrol car on any road?
Then you also get the 40mph drivers who do 40mph no matter what the limit is, and this just causes other people to try and get past them, which can create flashpoints.
Driving too fast is dangerous and driving too slow is dangerous, why can't people just drive normally?

The concentration is on speeding on safe roads, rather than poor driving, which is what kills people, the inattentive, the poorly skilled, the poorly maintained vehicles, the superhero bikes who rely on other drivers to keep them alive, none of these are targetted in the current regime, and these figures show the current approach is not working. Put policemen back in police cars (proper marked ones, to act as a deterrent, not unmarked ones hidden behind bushes) and make people pay more attention.

If the aim is maxiumum road safety with minimum prosecutions, I'm sure random hidden enforcement of a variety of traffic rules would be better.
I suppose we all notice offences on a daily basis but the ones theat make my toes curl are the folk driving on fast roads who are clearly texting or looking at a map on their lap....I saw 3 drivers gouing the opposite way to me on a fast A-road this morning clearly not looking where they were going.
Like many people, I've nearly never heard of someone being prosecuted for stupid overtaking, making someone else take avoiding action, sweeping past a cyclist too close at high speed, going over double white lines, texting etc etc... but I have a large collection of people I know who have been caught for fairly marginal speeding offences on the A64. Having seen many horrendous crashes on that road over the years I don't quibble with the enforcement.... but, yes, what about some action on all the other dangerous offences going on ?

Personally I think the Police need to patrol the regions roads in unmarked cars and stop advertising the camera van locations to try and clamp on bad drivers - not just speeders.
Bikers - do you really know what is round the next corner? Do you know if the car you are overtaking at a junction is not wanting to turn right?
Cyclists - There are cycle paths on major routes, use them and get yourself out of danger. It's common sense really.
Motorists - Is taking chances, speeding and overtaking in dangerous places really worth risking your life for just to gain a few seconds?

Cyclists have every right to be on the road and need not use cycle tracks if they prefer not to.
It is the reponsibility of all road users not to endanger others who have a right to use roads.
There is no civilised reason why some road users should increasingly be forced off the road by fear if drivers were properly taught to respect the safety of others.

Cyclists - There are cycle paths on major routes, use them and get yourself out of danger. It's common sense really.
"Common sense" isn't always right. There have been numerous studies done in the UK and around the world that consistently show that cycling on the pavement or roadside paths even where it is legal is generally more dangerous than cycling on the road. Only when you get a really extensive and high-quality network of cycle provision (eg in The Netherlands) does it become safer. York is nowhere near that.
There are some off-road paths, like Route 66 and the York—Selby path, that are definitely good for cyclists. But I can't think of a single pavement cycle path in York that I would say is safer than staying on the road. You're mixing with pedestrians bumbling all over the place, there are often signs, bins, bus stops and who knows what else in the way, you have to stop and give way at every side road, drivers going in and out of driveways are more likely to clobber you because they didn't see you ... the list goes on.
Cyclists don't use the main road instead of these pavement paths out of spite – they do it because pavement cycle lanes are mostly a waste of time, make their journey slower and put them at greater risk of an accident. That may seem counter-intuitive at first, but that doesn't stop it being true.
Pavement cycle lanes have three purposes:
1 - making the council look like it's pro-cycling
2 - fooling novice cyclists into thinking there's a safe route
3 - appeasing motorists by getting cyclists out of their way.
So before you rant about cyclists not using cycle paths, remember that there's probably a very good reason why they aren't!

yorkshirelad says...
This issue will remain important as long as we have the very fragmented, low budget low quality approach to cycle tracks and paths that we have in the UK. It just might be different if we had cycle paths and tracks like they do in Denmark, Germany, Holland etc... but with every little tiny bit of cycling infrastructure in York getting Press headline writers and the Victor Meldrew brigade steamed up and frothing at the mouth, I can't see that happening for a long while yet.
Quite astonishing how many people seem to think that the presence of a cycle track on the pavement alters the cyclists right to cycle on the road. It's rather like saying I can't drive my car on the country lane next to a motorway because I should be on the motorway.

The internationally accepted unit for the measure of current flow (migrating electrons) in an electronic circuit. One ampere of current will flow through one ohm of resistance under the influence of one volt.
Modern, high-performance, non- rechargeable cells and batteries used in most modern "battery-driven" electrical and electronic consumer devices.
The number of milliamperes that a battery can continually supply to a load in one hour. Number is actually determined by calculating the remaining charge after one hour of driving a specific load.
An electro-chemical device consisting of separate cells connected together to sum their voltages or current capability. Examples are lead-acid batteries, 9-volt batteries, maintenance-free batteries, gel cells, and others.
The organized migration of electrons through a circuit or conductive material, as the result of an applied voltage and the presence of resistance.
Modern, high capacity, rechargeable cell or battery, used where a compact or small physical size is demanded. Often used in cellular phones so that they are smaller and lighter to carry without loss of performance, as compared to a similarly rated nickel cadmium.
The most commonly used secondary or rechargeable cell or battery. Often used in cellular phones, cordless phones, radio-controlled devices, toys, and many others.
Modern, high capacity, rechargeable cell or battery, used where a compact or small physical size is demanded. Often used to make a cellular phone smaller and lighter to carry without loss of performance, as compared to a similarly rated nickel cadmium.

Undefeated (10-0) title contender Daniel Cormier and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez reiterated yet again on Fuel TV's UFC 155 post-fight show they would not fight each other.
It doesn't make sense, really, seeing as how "DC" was in his American Kickboxing Academy (AKA) stablemates' corner, as he defeated Junior dos Santos in Las Vegas, Nevada and shed blood, sweat and tears alongside Cain in preparations for the title fight.
Nevertheless, mixed martial arts (MMA) pundits everywhere are interested in seeing how a fight between two of the best wrestling big men would unfold. Among those men is Dana White, who isn't opposed to making a fight between the two, but isn't necessarily at the top of his "to-do" list, stating he likes Cormier at either the heavyweight or light heavyweight division.
Perhaps if the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix winner wants an immediate shot at UFC gold, his best bet would be to drop down to the 205-pound weight class where he could get the next shot at current ruler, Jon Jones.
Whites words at the UFC 155 post-fight media scrum
"It's awesome, he (Cormier) is going to bring a lot of excitement to the heavyweight or light heavyweight division, you know. And he could be next in line to fight (Jon) Jones."
Of course, "Bones" has to get past Chael Sonnen on April, 27, 2013 before a bout between he and the former Olympic Wrestler, Cormier, ever goes down for the strap.
Furthermore, "DC" has to make sure Dion Staring doesn't pull off the upset of the century by besting him at Strikeforce: "Marquardt vs. Saffiedine" on Jan. 12, 2013 in what will be the final event for the San Jose-based promotion.
What's your take? Does Cormier deserve an immediate shot at light heavyweight against whoever is holding the title should he make the drop down, despite not having competed in the division?

|Bocanegra, Alarcon Advance to November Election for 39th District
|Written by Alex Garcia Sun Contributing Writer
|Thursday, 07 June 2012 04:19
Richard Alarcon
If you're tired of all the attack ads in the mail from the camps of Raul Bocanegra and Richard Alarcon, get ready for more, as they both advanced to the November election in the race for the 39th district.
With 100 percent of the election precinct reports tallied from June 5 elections, Bocanegra received 36.4 percent of the vote (9,201) while Alarcon had 27 percent (6,818) to finish second.
With an open primary, where the two leading vote getters advance to the general election on Nov. 6 regardless of party affiliation, Bocanegra and Alarcon, both Democrats, will vie for the seat left vacant by now termed-out state Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes (D-Arleta).
And that means more attack ads flooding your mailbox, as the race has already been marked by accusations from both sides.
In late April, Alarcon, a veteran political figure and Los Angeles City Councilmember for the 7th District, stood before a Pacoima condominium complex and accused Bocanegra, a former legislative aide, of jumping ahead of 250 others in line and obtaining a $50,000, zero percent interest free loan from the City of Los Angeles to purchase one of the units in the building in 2005.
Raul Bocanegra
When Bocanegra allegedly obtained the loan, he worked as housing deputy for then councilmember Alex Padilla and worked with developers constructing the 28-unit building at the corner of Osborne Street and Osborne Place.
Bocanegra denied Alarcon's allegations and concentrated his attacks on the 2010 felony indictment by a Los Angeles grand jury, including perjury and voter fraud charges, weighing against Alarcon and his wife Flora for allegedly not living in the Panorama City home listed as his voting address. Instead, he was allegedly living in a Sun Valley home outside his district. In late February, Bocanegra also filed an official Ethics Complaint because Alarcon was paying for his legal defense fees from his Assembly Campaign Committee.
Alarcon, who pled not guilty to the charges, has said he was not living in the Panorama City home for a time because it had been inhabited by a burglar who squatted there one night and caused extensive damage, and he had moved back in after repairs were made. He also said he did nothing improper in using campaign funds for his legal defense, and charged that campaigns often do this.
Although a Superior Court judge, citing several procedural errors by the Los Angeles county District Attorney's office, initially dismissed the charges in May, District Attorney Steve Cooley has re-filed the case.
The 39th District covers Pacoima, San Fernando, Arleta, Mission Hills, Sylmar, North Hollywood, Lake View Terrace, Northeast Granada Hills, Sunland-Tujunga, and Sun Valley.
Besides Alarcon and Bocanegra, there were also three Republican candidates in the race – Omar Cuevas, Margie Carranza and Ricardo Benitez – as well as Green Party candidate Jack Lindblad.
Benitez received 15.5 percent of the vote (3,928), followed by Cuevas with 8.1 percent (2,049). Lindblad collected 7.5 percent (1,895) of the vote, while Carranza received 5.2 percent (1,334).

Geithner Plan Raises Hopes of CMBS Pros
The U.S. Treasury Department's proposal for spurring the trading of toxic assets touched off a huge rally in the commercial MBS market this week, leading some players to conclude that the tide might have turned.
Spreads on super-senior bonds from the benchmark "GG-10" deal tightened by almost 400 bp, to 855 bp over swaps, after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner revealed the plan on Monday.
"I really think the government is serious about doing something to get the securitization market going again," said one CMBS veteran. "This is very encouraging news."
Geithner's announcement confirmed that commercial real estate assets would be included in various financing programs being set up by the government. It also expanded the efforts to include high-rated "legacy assets" - both bonds and loans - clogging the balance sheets of banks. That combination, which would supply a big jolt of financing to an illiquid market, buoyed CMBS traders and investors, some of whom viewed the development as a potential "game-changer."
"We think that this program could first stop, then reverse the negative feedback loop of declining asset prices and delevering, which leads to further price declines that has plagued the markets over the past year," said Alan Todd, CMBS analyst at J.P. Morgan. He predicted that spreads on super-senior paper could tighten to 600 bp over the next several months, helping to set the stage for lenders to resume originating.
While many details about the plans haven't yet been disclosed, analysts said that buyers should be enticed by the government's generous financing terms, which would likely generate double-digit returns - potentially even reaching 50% or more under the most-optimistic scenarios.
Geithner's plan includes two main components: the Private-Public Investment Program, under which the government and investors would enter 50-50 partnerships to buy seasoned bonds and loans, with federal debt financing; and the expanded Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, which offers generous debt financing to buyers of a wide variety of new and seasoned bonds, now including CMBS.
Before the announcement, buyers had fretted that loans provided by TALF would mature in three years, creating a term mismatch with 10-year CMBS. But this week, the government indicated that it would consider the duration of the investment when determining the term of the loan.
The announcement caused the dollar price on super-senior bonds from the GG-10 deal to rise to 73 on Tuesday, from about 58 last Friday. The spread tightened to 855 bp over swaps from 1,227 bp. The $7.6 billion GG-10 deal, one of the largest CMBS deals, tends to mirror the ups and downs of market sentiment. Goldman Sachs and RBS Greenwich floated the transaction in June 2007.
The benefit was felt further down the credit stack, too. An assortment of mezzanine-level, or "A-M," triple-A bonds went from a dollar price in the low 30s on Friday to the low 40s after the Geithner announcement. "A-M" bonds typically have a 20% subordination level, versus 30% for super-senior bonds.
Even low investment-grade bonds got a boost, although only a mild one. The spread on the triple-B-minus tranche of Series 5 of the synthetic CMBX index tightened to 5,950 bp on Tuesday from 6,250 bp last Friday.
Spreads stayed relatively flat the rest of the week, as investors awaited more details on the federal programs. "Now the market wants to know what the terms of the financing will be," said one insurance-company investor. "If the terms are better than expected, the potential returns could be even higher" than initially expected.

Penn State - Lack of Institutional Control? Anyone? Buehler?
Did The Pennsylvania State University demonstrate a lack of institutional control? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler? Lots of crickets chirping outside NCAA headquarters. To be fair, no Nittany Lion football parents got any free rent from incompetent aspiring agents who are unconnected to the university, so it makes sense that Mark Emmert can move on to more important things. Mark, just a hypothetical, but what if some Trojan football players didn't pay for their full share of the keg at a party on Ellendale! In fact, what if a USC student who is also a USC fan actually covered the 20 bucks for them! Imagine the possibilities, Mark! Maybe you could make USC vacate its Emerald Bowl victory! Loose the hounds!

RHINELANDER (WAOW) -- Newsline 9 is proud to recognize people in the community who make a difference with a Jefferson Award. The award was established in 1972. It recognizes businesses, schools, and individuals who answer the call to action for volunteers. The Jefferson Award Winner for the month of August is Mary Monk from Rhinelander.
Every Friday, Mary monk starts her day the same.
"We come in about 10:00 a.m. and we do grocery shopping if we need to. We prepare food with chopping vegetables and cooking meat," said Monk.
It's all part of the program Meals for the Hungry at the Hope Center in Rhinelander. Monk and other members of the community come together to cook a balanced meal for those less fortunate.
"We always make sure there's meat, and vegetables, grain and dairy," said Monk.
Running solely on donations, the program started as a holiday meal, and has grown to a weekly tradition.
"After the first meal we said we're doing this weekly until the money's gone and here we are almost three years later and still going," said Monk.
But Monk says the free dinner is just one reason why people show up.
"We really encourage people to come, not only people who need the food, but we have some people who come who need the companionship," said Monk.
Amber Schmidt has visited the center for nearly two years, and says it helps her and her family get by.
"Especially when sometimes you're working on 200 dollars in food stamps to feed four people it helps a lot," said Schmidt.
She said she nominated Mary for a Jefferson award, because of her selflessness and determination to help others.
"She helps so many people. She might not know it but she does," said Schmidt.
Mary said this program has a special meaning.
"There were times when we needed the help growing up and there was always somebody there who was willing to feed us and to me it's giving back," said Monk.
And that's why Mary Monk, is this month's Jefferson Award Winner.
"I'm proud of the program and I'm proud to be a part of it," said Monk.

Bookt Launches Revolutionary New Mobile Vacation Rental Technology InstaSites Are Most Advanced Short-Term Rental Booking Solution for Today's Mobile, Global and Social World
HOLLYWOOD, Fla., April 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Bookt LLC, an innovator in cloud-based lodging technology, today announced the worldwide launch of InstaSites – the industry's first mobile, social, global web solution specifically for vacation rental professionals.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130422/CG98671)
"You would never bring a knife to a gun fight, but that's unfortunately what lots of vacation rental managers do today," said Bookt's CEO Rob Kall at a recent industry event. The Short-Term Rental category is one of the fastest growing segments of travel. While new companies like Airbnb.com have mastered the user experience of booking a unit directly from an owner, the majority of Vacation Rentals nights are booked through agencies and management companies. Most of them have woefully inadequate online booking solutions. "Over 30% of people shopping for a vacation today are using a mobile device and they will go somewhere else when your site does not showcase your units well."
"InstaSites represent a breakthrough." said Matt Hoffman, VP of Sales at Bookt. "Beyond mobile support and a fast, easy and secure booking engine that is PCI compliant, we also carefully considered the context of the booker, like: How much will the cost be in US dollars, if booking an overseas unit? How close will I be to popular attractions? How easy can I share this info with my friends, and how can I validate this accommodation through other people's user reviews? ". Hoffman concluded, "And the sites just look great, with large beautiful images that immediately evoke an emotional response with the guest!"
"Nothing is more gratifying than providing our demanding client base with technology that knocks their socks off," said Ben Strum, Bookt's <st1:stockticker w:st="on">CTO</st1:stockticker>. According to Strum, "InstaSites have many new innovations like 1) responsive design that automatically adapts to the user's device; 2) continuous visitor data collection that feeds Bookt's ground breaking 'Lead Insight' technology; and 3) a content delivery system, rolled out in partnership with Amazon.com, that makes sure that a user visits a site with engaging, fast downloading images and videos, regardless where in the world they access it." Strum added, "We have also made sure that the site is easy to edit and very expandable by basing it on the popular WordPress open source technology."
InstaSites get their name from their ease of launch – a mobile web solution that you can get up and running, virtually instantaneously – and that the site is tied straight into the back office of the InstaManager App, pioneered in 2011 as part of the game changing $1 Switch. InstaManager features powerful vacation rental manager software with tailored marketing distribution channels through TripAdvisor, HomeAway and others. With the introduction of InstaSites and continual rollout of breakthroughs from InstaManager's exclusive VR Labs, Bookt continues to gain market share in the lodging technology space.

Industry fears impact of E15 decisionPosted on
Confusion and misfueling are likely despite marine-engine exemption, industry leaders say
Marine engines are excluded from the Environmental Protection Agency's decision to allow the sale of fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol, but the approval still may have a negative impact on boating, according to marine engine manufacturers and industry experts.
The waiver applies to fuel that contains as much as 15 percent ethanol, known as E15, which now can be used in cars from model-year 2007 or later. The EPA says it has done vigorous testing to ensure that E15 is safe for those cars and is now testing on cars built between 2001 and 2006. The waiver does not force the use of E15, says Gina McCarthy, the EPA's assistant administrator for air and radiation.
Engine manufacturer Mercury Marine says it's inevitable that higher ethanol blends will mistakenly find their way into older cars or boats. "We join other industry groups in the belief that the level of testing performed to support the EPA decision was inadequate and that the processes designed to prevent the unintended use of this fuel blend in non-highway applications or older vehicles are inadequate," Mercury says.
"Fuel containing higher proportions of ethanol is not compatible with many fuel system and engine components and, if mistakenly used, will cause irreversible damage … that will lead to engine failure and potential safety risks," the company adds.
The EPA is proposing E15 pump-labeling rules, including a requirement that the fuel industry specify the ethanol content of gasoline sold to retailers. The National Marine Manufacturers Association, which has lobbied hard against E15, says this step does not go far enough.
"We think it will create a great deal of consumer confusion at the pump when boaters fill up their boats and their cars and trucks," NMMA legislative director Mat Dunn says. "Ninety percent of recreational boats registered in the U.S. today are under 26 feet, which means generally that they're trailered boats, and the overwhelming majority of boaters fill up at regular automotive gas stations.
"There is a very high risk of misfueling and we don't think that EPA is currently pursuing robust or meaningful control to prevent … confusion on this issue," he adds.
Dunn says that when the United States made the transition from leaded to unleaded gasoline the size of the gasoline nozzle was changed to prevent misfueling, but that strategy didn't work.
The Marine Retailers Association of America, which also fought against E15, agrees that the decision will only lead to confusion. "With this new ruling, the EPA sounds a lot like what the government did with the colored diesel fuel mess we had 20 years ago," says MRAA chairman Ed Lofgren. "A fuel dock will have to have a 'dial an ethanol' button on fuel tanks to comply with engines built before 2000 and engines built after 2007. I guess the in-between engines will just have to wait at the fuel dock until the government figures it all out."
Although E15 is not mandated, the EPA did not announce any actions to ensure that, over time, compatible fuels will remain available to owners of products for which E15 is not suitable. "It is still unclear to us if appropriate fuels will be available to recreational boaters and if marinas will have to stock E15 fuel for engines made after 2007 and E10 fuel for engines made before 2001," MRAA president Phil Keeter says.
The EPA's Oct. 13 decision is based on a petition submitted by the pro-ethanol organization Growth Energy and 54 ethanol producers.

So earlier today when I was eating too much sushi this happened:
Greetings from Mania!!!! I come in good peace and w/ good intentions, I have rec's to trade and admiration for you moderation and writing prowess.
The Mania vs B.E. feud is never ending, sometimes gaining steam and sometimes dormant. You think your smart, we think we're men, it's a vicious cycle. I propose we harness the energy into something both substantial and productive.
I am here to challenge you and am only interested in competing against your best.
We have a pool of 50+ filling out picks for a small wager on mmaplayground.com, I see you have a similar betting game going on. My proposition is that you gather your 10 largest brains and I will do the same. We have a multi-event pick off (details to be negotiated), no money involved, purely for bragging rights and site superiority. No longer will we be able to bicker over which site is what as we will have a common neutral battle ground to prove our worth. This would decrease the tension as well as reinforce our pride for our homeland.
You have 24 hours to assemble your 10 man/women crew (no site staff aloud) and you also need to elect a team captain.Only the team captain can cross over and comment on the other site so that this doesn't get messy.
I will captain the mania team and instruct my men to unite in a truce until we receive your response. Have your captain meet me tomorrow on the mania "money pool" thread or forever regret missing the chance to prove your superiority. If all goes well this could be a continuous battle and could end up doing good for both sites.
Again i come in peace and look forward to your response.
So I guess that since I am the Betting Game post guy, it is up to me to assemble our crew.
So, who's comin with me?

Angela Jonas, a 50-year-old South Carolina woman was arrested Tuesday after she decided to go for a half naked stroll down the street.
According to the York County Sheriff's Office, Jonas was found by police walking topless down her neighborhood street after a resident told police Jonas had been calling and harassing her repeatedly.
Deputies tried several times to speak with Jonas when they first arrived – asking her why she was naked from the waist up. After the woman refused to give a clear answer, she was taken into custody without incident.
Investigators say Jonas later told them she likes to cut her grass in the nude, according to the arrest report.
She was booked on a charge of indecent exposure. Her bail was set at $1,000.
VN:F [1.8.5_1061]Creep Arrested for Mowing Lawn Topless
October 17th, 2011 on 6:27 pm
If she were a beautiful 20 something with a gorgeous body, there probably not be much said or would there?
April 16th, 2010 on 1:29 pm
Please don't call her a creep. Is a topless man a creep?
I can understand her being arrested for (major) harassing, but for doing the exact same thing a man can do?
You probably don't know this, but topless men in America were being arrested until the mid 1930s.
In many cultures it is perfectly fine for women to be topfree, just as men can be. But in other countries both males & females must cover up completely or be arrested.
It is legal for women to be topfree in Oregon, NY state, most of Maine, Boulder Colorado, Colombus Ohio, and several other places in America.
Why is it wrong for women, even skinny ones with boobs smaller then men, to be topfree anyway?
Start studying the Protestant Reformation & what groups left Europe & settled America.
Until you get a PhD in Western Civilization history, don't call a topfree woman a creep!
a gurl,
February 3rd, 2010 on 3:00 pm
i think this is a story of peer bullshit.. women as well as men should be able to go topless.. i mean i like to be naked! but its against the toughts of others to be topless unless you are male.. if a woman and a man stood next to eachother top less people would shun the women. so this wman should have gotta charged with harrasment but deffinatly indecent exposer.. her case is bull shit!! thank for listening

Autumn is in full swing at Longwood—and from now until November 2, we have a huge variety of pumpkins, gourds and squash on display in the Idea Garden and in front of the Peirce-du Pont House. Longwood does not grow all of the wonderful cultivars here, but we do have them grown just for us by two producers in Lancaster County, PA. They have been growing these cool cucurbits for our autumn displays for more than 10 years. (Pumpkins, gourds, and squash are all in the Cucurbitaceae family and are known collectively as cucurbits.) In mid-September, a group of staff, students and volunteers went out to the "pumpkin patch" to harvest close to 100 different cultivars from a 2-acre field. We brought the cucurbits back to Longwood and began to set up our displays.

In the Idea Garden, just outside of the vegetable garden, the display showcases the many different shapes, sizes, colors and textures of pumpkins, gourds and squash. Each different cultivar is labeled, and I find that reading all the different names is just as interesting as looking at the gourds themselves. 'Caveman's Club', 'Gremlins', 'Jumbo Pink Banana', and 'Speckled Snake' are just a few of the cucurbits that are currently present.
This display is also supplemented by many unusual pumpkins, gourds and squash that are brought here from The Great Pumpkin Patch in Illinois. These additions have brought the total number of cultivars that can be seen in the Idea Garden to over 200.
Outside of the Peirce-du Pont House, a huge cornucopia spills a bountiful harvest across the lawn in stripes of color. This cornucopia is the same one that was used in the Music Room at Longwood last autumn with glass pumpkins in it. It's made out of grapevine that we wove through a metal frame, which was made here at Longwood by the very talented guys in our Sheet Metal/Welding Fabrications Shops. The different cucurbits were sorted into three color schemes before being placed in and around the cornucopia. It is intended to look like the cucurbits in each color stripe were all randomly thrown together, but the assortment was intentionally chosen for the varied shapes, sizes and textures. Although it seems like a solid mass of pumpkins, gourds, and squash just inside the cornucopia, there are actually several platforms that the cucurbits are sitting on. This allows for air circulation around some of the fruits in the back that will be hard to reach if they start to rot. The staff checks on the displays regularly and replaces any cucurbits that are beginning to go bad. Behind the cornucopia, garlands of miniature pumpkins encircle the posts on the Peirce- du Pont House porch. Happy Autumn!
