An Abbeville man is charged with aggravated assault and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile for allegedly guarding a fight involving his daughter with a baseball bat. Police say Wesley Laviolette's daughter and another nine-year-old girl were involved in the scuffle. According to investigators, when the nine-year-old's mother tried to break up the fight, Laviolette threatened her with a baseball bat.
Laviolette was also charged with disturbing the peace, and police say another charge against him is pending. His daughter was charged with simple battery.

I expect to see lots of Buckeye ball control offense, and forcing Gunner to take big chances when he has the ball. If we score every time we have the ball, and they score 1 of 3 times, we win big. Dont play this team conservatively- Make them beat you deep, consistently, because they don't have the protection to do that, and even if our defensive backfield is suspect, its not THAT suspect. I'd take 45-24 with a couple of picks and a half dozen sacks and feel great about it.

A loss like this brings those of us who have suffered in this way together, and we all feel the pain of the loss of this young man's life. I have lost 2 son's to accidental death. My 6 year old died in an auto accident that could have easily claimed all our lives, then 9 years later, his older brother, age 19 died by drowning. No one knows the pain of anothers loss, but those of us who have had similar losses know something of the pain. No one wants a "Perfect" child, but I have 2 of them, as well as an "imperfect" daughter who I love dearly. I have learned I have no control over the circumstances of her life and just trust God to take good care of her.
Really? I can absolutely guarantee that no one is harder on Curtis Grant than Curtis Grant. Our fan site mumblings are no more than background noise to all these players and coaches who know FAR better than the 95% of us who have not competed at anywhere near this level. The reason we watch very young men play a game is to get caught up in the drama of it all, and the speculation of who is, or is going to be great, is, or may have underperformed to our expectations. And I haven't even commented on our slavish devotion to an educational institution and it's identity as a sports powerhouse???
Curtis Grant, and so many others like him CHOOSE to compete in this very environment because it challenges them as people to be their very best, knowing that once you're out there there is absolutely no where to hide if you fail or fail to live up to your own (and others expectations). We watch, comment, etc... because we get to succeed and fail vicariously through their efforts. It's great fun to make it all about us, but it's really all about them and their skills, stories and lives. Of course, if weren't so attractive to the masses, we'd all do something else on Saturday and Sunday, and these guys wouldn't be out there to start with.
So we cheer, speculate, ridicule, get heartbroken, swell with pride and a thousand other emotions all because of a completely vicarious experience that we have NO real part in. And you are pissed because a guy wrote an article saying a guy hasn't lived up to our expectations??? Go mow your yard.
Shazier is a great character, great athlete guy who out Tebows Tebow. And I mean that in a good way! Looking forward (wistfully) to seeing him play on Sundays one day soon.

Subaru's is called Active Valve Control System, or AVCS.
older wrx's are drive by cable, so that's why this wouldn't work on one (well, I guess it could control the cruise control!)
I don't know why the 06 wrx is not listed, since it is, to my knowledge, drive by wire (someone correct me if I'm wrong). If I'm right, throttle control should be virtually identical to an sti.
I belive you, but when I hear drive by wire I associate the term wire with throttle cable for some reason.Thats weird

"Everybody is supersensitive," Morgan said, "We have freedom of speech, but you got to watch what you say." Morgan was asked about the controversial moment during an interview with the New York Times Magazine. Morgan suggested that in the past, stand up comedians were able to make fun of society's foibles. "We made fun of ourselves then. Nowadays people take themselves way too seriously," he said suggesting that comedians like Richard Pryor, Goerge Carlin, Sam Kinison, and Lenny Bruce might have problems today. Morgan said that his 2011 joke was an attempt to make fun of society, not espouse his own views. "No matter what, if my son was gay, I'd treat him like a king," he said. "I wasn't trying to say that's how I felt."

This is a travesty, which we should all lament. Let who is without sin amongst us cast the first stone.Dr. Ben Carson (and others) is exactly right, "political correctness is dangerous."Donald Sterling is an American, one of us. We would do well not to rejoice in his sacrifice on the PC altar, especially considering the way he was entrapped and the motive(s) of the entrapper.We must now accept:1) That holding and expressing beliefs that are not "approved" can and will doom us.2) That "privacy" has ceased to exist...beyond the NSA revelations.3) We can trust no one. Even our most intimate partners will turn us in to the Thought Police...and we will be summarily judged in the biased court of public opinion.In today´s America, nothing isSACRED --- SECRET --- SECURESend not to know for whom the bell tolls....

Of course follow the money. This man is disgusting and now that this is all public his ownership is hurting the investment in teams made by all 30 owners. The NBA depends on public approvall for all the teams. You can´t even buy a team without the approvall of the other team owners. This is not the same as buying the local corner drugstore or independent grocery store. Sterling has not lost his free speech. He can say whatever he wants to but in 2014 the public is not going to stand for a sports team owner like him. If Magic Johnson buys the Clippers so be it. Why shouldn´t he if he can put an investment group together. The problem is Sterling, not Johnson, the black players, rappers, or anyone else The NBA and the other owners, white and black, have a right to protect their investment, too.

This basically reinforces what I believed all along.Big Sports is full of creeps and is all about money.I have to laugh when I see idiots get all bent out of shape when "their" team loses, or wins for that matter.As if this "team" has anything to do with their city. Teams filled with people from other cities that get bought and sold, and whole teams moving from city to city. Yet still, Sports Idiots get totally immersed in what these people do.Ticket prices are ridiculous, players are obnoxious and quite often thugs, but if someone is making money, their behavior is allowed. If someone can be a scapegoat to keep the money flowing, so be it.There is nothing, not one remnant left of the old days when players weren´t paid much but did it for the love of the game, people didn´t throw things at players, winning teams influenced people to have a good time at a party and not overturn cars, losing meant you griped at a bar after the game and not go out and BURN cars.I couldn´t give a rat´s behind for any of these games--glorified losers out chasing a piece of leather around a field for big bucks and managed by other losers for the same end.These people all sound like jerks, let them eat each other alive.

What if Mr. Sterling who is rich, rich, rich, and doesn´t seemed inclined to sell his team, decided to buy the player´s contracts and disband his team rather than sell it to the ones salviating over the opportunity to buy the team at bargain basement prices? Wouldn´t that cause a mess for those that think they have him over a barrel? They might have access to the players, but they would have to start a complete new team. Might not be so cheap after all. Seems like Magic Johnson´s name is in play and was named as someone Sterling didn´t want his little friend having her picture taken with. Ef he ends up being an owner eventually, it certainly makes the whole situation "interesting". I´m sure she knew Sterling well enough to know what buttons to push, to get the conversation going in the direction it did.

Bargain basement prices? He paid 13 mill for the team, only 3 mil in cash. It is now worth 700-800 million. Shed tears for him? I don´t think so. He´s going to make a fortune. Shed tears for him because the others owners want to kick him out? No, and not because he´s a moron, which he is, but because he´s a racist which is so hard for some to admit. Have you read about his history other than these tapes?

Why pay the going rate, if you can get it cheaper? Just saying. I read some of his history. I´ve also listened to Snoop Dog´s eloquent statement. Racists come in all colors and at least Sterling has the excuse of age and his era of growing up, what is Snoop Dogs excuse?

It is almost a management sim, like "Majesty" was...and it is almost a military sim, like "Starcraft" or "Age of Mythology." But it is unique in its design and only suffers from a few design flaws.
Heritage of Kings isn't a bad game, although it doesn't offer a whole lot more then other resource driven real time strategies that are available.
Addictive and compelling are not words that would be used to describe the gameplay.
The graphics are good, but every other feature is just scooped up from a number of other strategy games, and spread thinly.
While Heritage Of Kings has taken the series in a new direction without completely uprooting itself from the settlement-crafting past, it's not been a successful evolution. Even the most lethargic and undemanding of gamers will quickly become bored of the gambolling wildlife and labouring peasants. [March 2005, p.87]
Like David Hasselhoff's singing career, Settlers is popular in Germany and just sort of barely tolerated elsewhere. [June 2005, p.96]

Hardcore, know the score. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is a sexy uber-capable track bike that works on the road too. It caught the 600 race rep class napping and nothing came close until Suzuki launched its 2001 GSX-R600 – that's a long time to rule the 600 roost and shows just how good the original Yamaha YZF-R6 was.
49cc, 6bhp, 30mph, Insurance group 3
The Yamaha TZR50 is an act of brilliant folly but tempting nevertheless. A screaming, old-school, supersports, 50cc sixteener, with all the bluster, mayhem, carnage, testosterone and manicness that implies. Being Japanese the Yamaha TZR50 is fairly durable too, though it can't match the performance of its European rivals.
1002cc, 145bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 16
The Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace started out as Yamaha's last throw of the old school superbike dice, and resulted in the final incarnation of the FZR1000 EXUP. But ironically the Thunderace has proved to be a better big bore sports touring motorcycle than out-and-out superbike – albeit a humungously fast one. If you like your superbikes big and brash and with room ...
955cc, 104bhp, 133mph, Insurance group 13
The second generation Triumph Tiger carried on the theme of the original – a big, bruising road trail motorcycle powered by Hinckley's distinctive triple. The difference was this was the second generation triple with updated chassis and styling to match. Later versions are well equipped and the Triumph Tiger 955i is a decent road motorcycle taller riders, but it's also ...
998cc, 143bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
The Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer is a streetbike with an R1 engine – it could have been a compact brute of a machine with fearsome manners and ability to waste sports bikes below 80mph. But it's actually a big softie with plenty of punch. Arguably the ultimate all round bike – a Yamaha FZS1000 Fazer does the lot and does it ...
749cc, 146bhp, 175mph, Insurance group 16
The 2004 and 2005 Suzuki GSX-R750s are almost perfect. The new radial brakes solved the slight stopping issues of the last incarnation, the styling's on the money and the motor and chassis are better than most of us can ever hope to fully exploit. The only fly in the 10/40W is the K5 GSX-R1000, which is so utterly brilliant there ...
599cc, 92bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 14
A raw, involving, lunatic on wheels. The more throttle-happy you are with it, the more the Suzuki GSX-R600 will thrill. Virtually dead low down, wake it up at higher revs and you'll be clinging on for dear life. Not as finely honed as today's Suzuki GSX-R600 but, for some, that just adds to the manic appeal. Ridiculous, dangerous fun.
599cc, 110bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
The Triumph Daytona 600/650 is lighter, smoother, faster and infinitely prettier than the TT600. What's more, Bruce Anstey won the Junior TT on one in 2003 which goes to show what improvements Triumph made to their 600cc sports middleweight contender. The Triumph Daytona 600/650 is a beauty: an involved ride with excellent handling, amazing brakes and it's good value.
1164cc, 123bhp, 155mph, Insurance group 13
The Kawasaki ZRX1200 is a big, beefy, retro styled bike with plenty of grunt, a comfortable riding position and good looks (especially the Kawasaki ZRX1200 R version, which pays homage to the Eddie Lawson replica Z1100R of the '80s). But the Kawasaki ZRX1200 is really heavy, has a notchy gearbox and the handling and braking feels outdated compared to the ...

ARCH 2600: The Art of Architecture, Place, and Culture
July 2015
We live in a world full of manmade designs—some would even say we live in a designed world. How do designers see the world? How do they create? This course is designed to offer students hands-on opportunities to develop an understanding and appreciation of the arts and aesthetics as ways of seeing, and expanding our experiential understanding of the world. Students will develop skills:
- Related to establishing a foundation for visual literacy, through old and new ways of seeing, engaging in active ways of looking at the world and the places around them in order to understand their potential and responsibility in shaping them.
- To record and interpret both physical and intellectual experiences, and the tools to transform their ideas and observations by thinking through design.
- To connect different and sometimes disparate ideas through exposure to a variety of points of view about how we see and experience the world, a systems approach to connecting knowledge, thereby weaving a rich tapestry of experience and expanding horizons at multiple scales.
Major themes of this course include:
- Firmness, Commodity, Delight
- Harmony, Order, Balance (Form, Order, Beauty)
- Man & Nature: Claiming Site
- The Collective, Community: Sense of Place
- Great Ideas, Great Spaces, Curiosity
The format of the course will use illustrated talks from faculty and guest lecturers, along with readings and discussions; field exercises and actively reflective projects to offer the opportunity to articulate the lessons and insights of the preceding lectures and discussions. Field exercises will include visits to the:

My 9 year old daughter had the blood test done for celiac and the tests came back negative but she does carry the gene. What does this mean for her? She does have some symptoms of fatigue and horrible gas. But the GI thinks that it might be milk allergy related. Can anyone explain what I should be doing? Thanks for any replies

These guys offer a heavy hitting sound that defies almost all logic. Well, truthfully, the only logical thing is that Indian Handicrafts rock. Indian Handicrafts are Brandyn James Aikins and Daniel Brandon Allen and they both hail from Canada (we ought to be proud). Straight out of Barrie, there are murmurings that Indian Handicrafts will be the next big thing in heavy metal. Want to agree with the critics?

Tonight, five-time Grammy Award-winning pop/R&B singer Cee Lo Green will bring his larger-than-life music and fashion sensibilities to the Coke Stage as the Riverbend headliner. But how well do you really know one of music's most eccentric, bombastic personalities?
For instance, did you know that ...
• Cee Lo Green is the stage name of Thomas DeCarlo Callaway.
• In 2011, he was named the inaugural Viral Innovator of the Year at the Billboard Music Awards.
• Before he set off on a solo career, Cee Lo was a founding member of Atlanta-based Dirty South rap quartet Goodie Mob, which had close ties to OutKast.
• In addition to his work as a singer and producer, Cee Lo has acting credits in "Robot Chicken," "The Boondocks," "Hotel Transylvania" and "Sparkle." In 2011, he voiced a hot tub in an episode of "American Dad."
• At the 2011 Grammies, he took the stage decked out in brilliantly colored bird feathers, a metal chest plate molded to look like he had six-pack abs and a rhinestone-bedecked skull cap.
• He's a huge fan of McDonald's French fries.
• Growing up in Atlanta, Cee Lo cites New Wave giants Culture Club, Duran Duran, ABC and Madness as among the most influential bands in his record collection. He also loves New Jersey-based hardcore punk band The Misfits.
• Cee Lo is well known for his animal companions, including his white Persian cat, Purrfect — who landed a spot in a Meow Mix cat food commercial — but in 2012, he drew the ire of animal rights activists for owning an endangered pale pink cockatoo named Lady.
• His mother was a volunteer firefighter, and she was rescued by volunteer firefighters from a near-fatal crash. He pays homage to the emergency responders in his song "Thank You," a remix of his hit single "Forget You."

Colorado Content Collaboratives
By Teachers For Teachers
Working at the intersection of the new Colorado Academic Standards, Educator Effectiveness and New Assessments
The Colorado Content Collaboratives are P-12 educators from across the state who come together to identify and create high-quality assessments, which are aligned to the new Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) and may be used for educator evaluation purposes. Click here to view a list of the member of the Colorado Content Collaborative.
The Content Collaboratives are a four-year initiative. Phase 1 of the Content Collaboratives work, 2012, focused on the review of existing assessments that were evaluated to determine the degree to which they were aligned to the Colorado Academic Standards and exhibited high quality components such as clear scoring criteria, fair and unbiased, and opportunities for student learning. Assessments that were reviewed and received a rating of "Recommended" or "Partially Recommended" have been posted to the CDE Resource Bank.
Current Work
Phase 2 of the Content Collaboratives, which began in March, 2013, brought Content Collaboratives members together to receive training and engage in a performance assessment development process. The Content Collaboratives worked with the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation from the University of Kansas. Performance assessments developed by the Content Collaboratives have been posted in the CDE Resource Bank for voluntary educator use.
Phase 3 of the Content Collaboratives features the explicit integration of the assessment work of the Content Collaboratives with the continuing work of the District Sample Curriculum Project. Content Collaboratives members are providing assessment expertise to the development of performance assessments to support the instructional units based on the curriculum samples developed in 2012. For more information on District Sample Curriculum Project, please visit http://www.cde.state.co.us/standardsandinstruction/samplecurriculumproject.
Phase 3 of the Content Collaboratives is also focusing on the development of assessment literacy tools and resources focused on the assessment knowledge and skills educators to need to cultivate in order to effectively and strategically use assessment information to support student learning.
Important Announcements
The Colorado Content Collaboratives and CDE are asking for your feedback on a new resource being created to support educators in deepening their understanding of the varied purposes and uses of assessment information to inform their classroom instruction. The Colorado Assessment Literacy Program is being developed in partnership with the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards and Student Testing (CRESST) and will include:
- A Comprehensive Assessment Framework. This framework will include the functions, components and processes included in a quality, comprehensive assessment system.
- Assessment literacy Professional Learning modules. The modules will be available online and designed to support educators in their design and use of assessments.
The Comprehensive Assessment System Framework has been drafted and we would like your feedback on this resource. The Framework will be used to codify and communicate assessment terminology, functions, purposes and uses for Colorado educators. The finalized framework will also drive the development of assessment literacy professional learning resources.
Please go to the CDE Resource Bank to access a PDF of the framework along with a brief video presentation of the framework. Once you have reviewed the framework and corresponding presentation, please provide feedback to us at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TGC536B.
We would like to have all feedback by Friday, November 14, 2014, so we can revise the Framework and get these valuable resources out to Colorado educators for their use.
If you have any questions, please contact Angela Landrum at email@example.com.
CDE is working in active and appreciative partnership with the Colorado Community College System, the National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, & Student Testing at UCLA, the Center for Educational Testing and Evaluation at the University of Kansas, the National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment, Inc., and the Colorado Education Initiative to support the development and implementation of the Colorado Content Collaboratives. The Colorado Content Collaboratives are supported, in part, by Colorado's Race to the Top Program.

Glims brings some of the best Chrome features to Safari
Summary: For a while I used Firefox, then Chrome. Now I've come full circle and use Safari as my full-time browser and the free Glims add-on is essential.
For a while I was a die hard Firefox user. Then it was Chrome. But now I've come full circle and switched backed to Apple's Safari 5 as my full-time desktop browser of choice. Other features being equal, Safari has one major feature that its competitors will probably never have: bookmark syncing with the iPhone and iPad. It's a major feature and benefit, so Safari gets the nod on my primary Mac.
One of the things that immediately annoyed me however when switching from Chrome to Safari was the loss of favicons in tabs. It sounds silly but the little thumbnails make navigating between open tabs much easier in Chrome, and surprisingly Safari doesn't have this feature. As with most software problems, this little oversight is fixed with another piece of software.
Glims for Safari (free) adds a cocktail of features to Safari, including three big features that I missed from Chrome:
- favicons in tabs
- undo close tab (cmd-z)
- position new tab at the right of the current tab (among other options)
If you're a Safari user it's a must download. If you're using another browser, tell me why in the TalkBack.
Glims v1 build 26 features list:
- Adds thumbnails to Google.com search results
- Adds thumbnails to Yahoo.com search results
- Adds search engines to the default Google search tab
- Adds full-screen browsing capability
- Adds Favicons to tab labels
- Adds keyword search from address bar
- Undo "Close Tab" (cmd-z)
- Re-opens last session when Safari starts
- Auto-Closes download window
- Adds new tab position option (right/left/leftmost/rightmost)
- Adds tab closing using middle mouse button
- Focus last selected tab
- Always open links in a new tab
- Type-ahead support (auto cmd-f)
- Sets the focus on the search field when opening a new window
- Adds Amazon's information banner on Google.com search results
- Adds Amazon's information banner on Yahoo.com search results
- Adds a "Max Window Size" menu item to resize the Safari window
- Forms autocomplete always on
- Autocomplete search phrase
- Adds bookmark separator
- Adds bookmark actions
- Dated download folders
- Localized to Japanese, French, Polish, German, Spanish, Italian, and Korean

We carry numerous bacteria on our skin, in our mouth, gut, and other tissues, and localized bacterial infections are common and mostly not harmful. Occasionally, however, a localized infection turns into dangerous systemic disease (sepsis), and scientists have new clues as to how that happens. A study published on March 20th in PLOS Pathogens shows that after intravenous injection of a million bacteria into a mouse, the resulting systemic disease is often started by only a single one of them.
Marco R. Oggioni, of the University of Leicester, UK, and colleagues studied the events that lead to systemic infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), a major human pathogen, in a mouse model. Consistent with earlier studies, they found that when streptococci are injected into immunologically naïve mice (whose immune systems had not been "educated" by previous encounter with the same pathogen) the vast majority of bacteria are destroyed rapidly by the host immune response. A dose of one million bacteria is needed to induce systemic disease in about half of the mice. This is in stark contrast to a much lower number of cells thought to make up the sepsis founder population, and the assumption is that there must be one or more "bottlenecks" in the development of sepsis.
To investigate these bottlenecks, the scientists injected mice with a mix of three different variants of S. pneumoniae. About half of the mice developed sepsis, and in almost all cases, the bacteria causing sepsis were derived from only one of the three variants. Using statistical analysis as well as direct DNA sequencing, the researchers could show that in most cases the bacterial population causing sepsis was started by a single pneumococcal cell. Their data also suggest that this "founder bacterium" had no obvious characteristics that gave it an advantage over the 999,999 others, but that random events determine which of the injected bacteria survives and multiplies to cause disease.
When the researchers look closer at the mechanisms by which the immune system is able to clear most--but not always all--of the injected bacteria, they found that macrophages, a type of immune cell that can gobble up bacteria, and specifically macrophages in the spleen, are the main contributors to an efficient immune response. If bacteria survive that initial counter-attack by the host, a single founder bacterium multiplies and re-enters the bloodstream, where its descendants come under strong selective pressure that dynamically shapes the bacterial population, and thus causes the sepsis.
The researchers conclude "Although selective pressure generates diversity in bacterial populations during infection, invasive disease starts from a single founding cell which escapes initial immune clearance; a paradigm predicted to apply also to human systemic infections."

The 256-hour private pilot and a passenger were departing a private 1,200-foot-long grass airstrip in a two-seat, single-engine airplane when it collided with 10-to14- foot-tall brush. It then flew across a 14-foot-wide drainage ditch located beyond the departure end of the runway before it landed in an open field and nosed over. Examination of the vintage airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed that the throttle was in the "idle" position and both propeller blades were bent aft. The outside air temperature at the time of the accident was 90 degrees Fahrenheit and both occupants weighed in excess of 200 pounds. The aircraft manufacturer did not publish takeoff performance data for this airplane, which was manufactured in 1947. The investigator in charge calculated the density altitude near the time of the accident at 2,296 feet.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Added Dec 3, 2013

Minneapolis, Min...
I love that this cape is both classic and stylish.
I purchased this brown Pendelton wool almost 20 years ago waiting for the "right project."
I only had 4 yards, so cut on the "hemline" to save an inch or two on each piece.
I also added shoulder pads to provide some much needed shaping.
My husband noted if I had used the lining fabric for the scarf also, it would have been "even better". Of course this was after I had already completed the cape! Something to consider should I happen to make another version in the future!
Outer Fabric: 100% Wool
Lining: 100% Polyester

Nice cape! Glad to hear I'm not the only one that has fabric for even longer, waiting for just the right project!
Dec 3, 2013, 05.04 PMby Mary Athey
This is fabulous. I have made this as well. I'm just waiting on a good day to take photos. I like that the scarf's the same colour as the coat. I feel using the lining as a scarf would limit the colours you can wear on the bottom if you know what i mean?? You can wear anything with the all over shade including patterned fabric . Fab x

Critical Shortage of Grapevine Root Stock
Napa Valley, one of the world's premier wine growing regions, has an uncommon problem these days: not enough new grapevine root stock is available to supply the massive replanting that's under way there.
A trifecta of developments has created the critical shortage:
Aging cabernet vines planted after a deadly phylloxera outbreak in the 1980s are due for replacement that was deferred for years as sales of premium wines slumped in the recession.
With demand again strong, growers are taking the opportunity to replace old vines with varieties and clones better suited for their microclimates. Others are reconfiguring rows to prevent erosion into sensitive streams, or to allow mechanical harvesting machinery to access vines.
All of this activity caught commercial nurseries across California short of supply. Some are sold out for 2013 and are taking orders for 2014 and beyond.
"I've never seen anything like this," said Michael Monette of Sunridge Nurseries, one of the industry's biggest suppliers of plants. "What's totally phenomenal for me is I'm focusing on 2014 and 2015, which is absolutely nutso. We have no more space in our greenhouses."
Napa Valley, an hour's drive northeast of San Francisco, caught the world's attention in 1976 when, to the shock and chagrin of the French, wines from Stag's Leap and Chateau Montelena won the Paris Wine Tasting. The ensuing rush to plant was cut short when the rootstock that most new growers used was not fully resistant to the root-eating phylloxera pest.
Nearly two-thirds of the vines there slowly died, and vineyard owners yanked millions of plants beginning around 1990 then spent $1.2 billion replacing them.
That replanting of new clones on more resistant rootstock are the vines on which the Napa Valley's current reputation for excellence was sealed. Today wines from Napa Valley's 16 sub-appellations are some of the most complex and priciest produced.
After 20 years, however, plants reach old age and yields begin to diminish in a region where a ton of grapes can fetch $4,500 or more.

Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: Today's sessions were dominated by the weather, with the second session starting in full wet conditions and subsequently transitioning to intermediate running. Pastor drove well today and was particularly strong in the second session on intermediates. Valtteri went through a development programme in the morning but unfortunately towards the end of the session he locked his rear brakes on entry to T13 and crashed into the barrier. The mechanics worked extremely quickly and did an excellent job to get the car ready again for Bruno at the start of the second session. Bruno got out on track early and worked on set-up in the changeable conditions. The forecast suggests that qualifying will be wet and the race dry so it looks set to be another very interesting race weekend. Pastor Maldonado: It was a challenging practice session for everyone because the track conditions were changing a lot and I was trying to adapt my driving style and the car to best suit those conditions. We have a good balance in the car in wet conditions, even with a damp track, and the time I set in the second session shows that if it rains tomorrow we will be competitive. Bruno Senna: It was a bit of a frustrating day because the weather was so changeable. We started on extreme wets but the track dried out very quickly and we then went on to intermediates where our pace was competitive which is promising. Unfortunately we missed the window to get some good laps in on the drying track but overall the car is feeling good and with a bit more set-up work we can have a good weekend. Valtteri Bottas: Unfortunately the rain affected what we were testing and we had to adapt to the weather, but we still managed to do quite a few laps and completed most of what we were aiming for. The session ended disappointingly for me when I lost the back end of the car coming into the stadium section, locking the rear when I hit the brakes but I want to thank the team as they did a great job to put the car back together for Bruno's afternoon session.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John McCain is suggesting that the CIA has misled Congress on details surrounding an American who vanished nearly seven years ago in Iran.
An Associated Press investigation published this past week found that Robert Levinson was working for the intelligence agency - investigating the Iranian government.
McCain says he's confident the U.S. is doing all it can to learn what's happened to Levinson. But McCain is disturbed that the Obama administration hasn't been more forthcoming.
The U.S. long has publicly described Levinson as a private citizen who traveled to an Iranian island on private business.
McCain tells CNN's "State of the Union" that "CIA did not tell the truth" to Congress.
The Arizona Republican says he's sure Iran knows Levinson's fate, even though Iran has said it does not.

Time Flies at "A Vintage Journey"..... guest designer spot.
Hi there folks. I was very happy to have been asked along to "A Vintage Journey" as a guest designer this month. The theme is "Time Flies". I have combined my love of "DecoArt mixed media" and "Tim Holtz prodcts" by altering this old clock case i managed to find in an antique shop for less than a fiver!.
I painted it with a charcoal coloured chalky finish paint (relic) , gave it a coat of the crackle medium for chalky paints then gave it a coat of white chalky finish paint (Everlasting) and sealed it with a couple of coats of creme wax .
I used some tissue tape to decorate the bottom of the clock case and around the the top. Next i cut out lots of butterflies using my Tim Holts Framlets dies and some paper from the "laboratories" papers and attached them randomly around the case. i used acetate to attach some so it looked like they were flying free of the clock case.
I cut out a circle of "wallflower" paper to stick to the back wall of the display area then all I had to do was stuff it full of moss, eggs and a handful of wonderful Tim Holtz ideology and ephemera.
"A Vintage journey". its a Tim Holtz inspired blog challenge full of amazing and varied inspiration.
thanks for visiting

Work in progress reaches completion (maybe): with DecoArt
neither of us had a clue what we were going to make, we just picked up some brushes and paints and sort of just "started"... I was using DecoArt media fluid acrylics. They have a wonderful high percentage of pure pigment so far less likely to get that muddy look mixed paints can get. i started by painting a line of cobalt blue to the top and adding water so it would run down the canvas. then i turned my canvas upside down and did the same withe green. i then built up colours in the same way, with a lot of water.
I think the sun put me in a rather dreamy frame of mind and I went uncharacteristically floral and pastel. but at one point, I went a step tp far and it went from quite attractive to a bit of a mess. I dont have photos of the mess as i persevered for a little bit and rescued it. though it is far from its original soft dusky colour palette.
I had my Stampendous mixed media stamps and stencils with me so i used some DecoArt texture sand paste through the "sequin waste" stencil and formed my tall flowers (they represent a cross between lupins and delphiniums lol) but then time caught up and it was time to pack up.
anywho, I brought it home (here it is with my cat scrutinising it)...
here it is with a little additional detail.
Various opinions were put forward. some thinking it should be left as is as it didnt need a focal point.
I added a large dragonfly. then decided to add two more (as it somehow felt like the right thing to do).
So I think its finished now. maybe. no doubt i will pick it up a few more times and dabble.

Stampendous/DecoArt Blog hop Post 3
My post is my 2nd ever journal page and a wee tutorial on creating your own sequin waste stamp "Dandelion clocks".
When I made my first journal page, I had used this stamp rather randomly and when i was looking back at the page, the dots just sort of reminded me of a dandelion clock behind my hummingbird.
I made this page to match up with my hummingbird page.
now start building up the layers on your stalks and the place where the stalk meets the seed head.

Stampendous/DecoArt Blog hop post 2.
Stampendous "Sheet music" stamp and the " musical definitions" stamp. Then I stuck them to my canvas in rows for an even more varied look. I then used DecoArt modelling (texture) paste through a Stampendous "treble clef" stencil. while it was still wet I added some Fran-tage embossing powders and used the heatgun. I also added more of the texture to the corners. when it had dried I used the Stampendous Music background stamp on the texture. I glued on some Fran-tage elements (in this instance, little mica chips in pretty colours.)
DecoArt media fluid acrylic paint as it has a super high amount of pure pigment,
DecoArt Mixed Media "Clear Crackle Glaze".
When it had dried a painted over it with some transparent quinacridone gold, left it for a few seconds then wiped it all off again with a damp cloth. The paint stayed in the cracks. :)
last but not least, with a clean damp cloth, I applied DecoArt metallic lustres to the edges of the canvas.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of the blog hop

Stampendous/DecoArt Blog hop post 1
Stampendous and DecoArt have come together to do a fantastic blog hop full of mixed media loveliness.
We have been using an amazing range of paints and mediums from DecoArt along with the wonderful "Studio Multi Media" cling rubber stamp packs, Fran-tage embossing powders and Elements and the Creative Palette from Stampendous.
Next step was to try it out and make some backgrounds of my own....
I set some aside for future projects and then set about using one to make my first ever journal page.I had been watching the video of Prof Wangari Maathai (she won the nobel peace prize in 2004) telling the story of the little hummingbird. And I was inspired by it. My page was made to remind me of that inspiration and to remind me that I can only try my best and that must be enough.it may be insignificant but it is important to try. Imagine if we all put our minds to the same problem and did our best!!!!
I selected one of my backgrounds and decorated it further with more of the stamps and stencils, using more acrylic paints. I hand painted on some grass and plant life then printed off a hummingbird image. I used more paints and some pastels to highlight the hummingbird then printed off my quote and glued it on too. I coated the whole page with DecoArt multi-purpose sealer.
And for your interest, here is the youtube link to the story...

Work in progress....
I went to a craft friends house for the day on Thursday and for some reason, we decided to do a very large canvas each. with no plan and lots of spontaneity. the size overwhelmed me if I am honest and the facts that its not a journal page so adding a quote isnt really a sensible option. Van Gough and Di Vinci didn't rely on quotes to fill the blank spaces lol.
And here it is now with some additional detail.
Now all I have to do is think of what the main central image is going to be to fill that gap! I am slightly obsessed with hummingbirds at the moment so i suspect it might be one of those or some other bird. (I cant guarantee that intending to paint a hummingbird, will actually result in anything similar to a hummingbird. but if it looks in the least bird like I will be pleased.
so what else could i use to fill the large central void.... what do you think?
(I used mostly DecoArt Media fluid acrylics and other mediums from the "media" range.)

Colour on my mind. canvas.
I am still thinking of male appropriate projects at the moment. Last time I made a very functional little "faux leather" notebook for my father in law. But this time I am going for a bit of colour and a purely decorative item.
I then coated it in a crackle varnish. let it dry (and crackle) then rubbed in (and wiped off) some more acrylic paint.
That's it really. a bit of colourful fun with a male theme.

Faux leather notbook.
I am lucky in that most of the men in my life are in touch with their arty sensitive side so i can make them almost anything (well maybe not something festooned with flowers). But I do have a difficult to make for, father in law. for him, it needs to have a purpose, be useful, functional. So I have made this little note book. It still satisfies my need to make new things look old but it is under stated and most importantly, it has a purpose.
I cut the kraft core sheet to size then crumpled it up to make folds and wrinkles. I straitened it all back out and gave it a light sand with sandpaper. Then I ironed it back out flat and put it through the embossing machine (I used a sizzix big shot so had to work out what combo of plates and mats would work.) once i had embossed the front and back cover of my book (with a little gap for a spine), i sanded it again so the embossing stood out more. To make it look like old polished leather, it needed some colour variations and a slight shine so I added a few blotches of "Vintage photo distress stains" and then i gave my cover a coat of DecoArt satin finished multi surface sealer. (any varnish, sealer or decoupage sealer type finish will do).
Anyway I digress... I used my finger to gently rub over the raised bits of the embossing.
I cut out an image from Tim Holtz paper stash "laboratorie" and put an ornamental plate over it to attach to the centre of the book. I added a Remnant rub from the life quotes pack.

K9 Uphill This SaturdaySubmitted by warrenklug on Wed, 04/09/2014 - 10:01
The K9 Uphill is one of our favorite springtime traditions. Dogs and their people race up the front of Buttermilk Mountain on snowshoes, skis, and Stabil-icers just for the joy of getting out together. This year's K9 Uphill is Saturday, April 12. The participants' entry fees benefit local animal shelters. It's a great way to support a worthy cause and have a lot of fun at the same time! For details, visit www.sundogathletics.com.
