For all things that happen in life there are a few instances when a chance encounter abruptly changes the direction of ones life. Was it love at first sight or was just a passing fling? But, in the summer of `67 that chance encounter where loves first flower blossomed in the August moon just happened to Greg Smith. The events of that particular summer profoundly altered the decisions Greg was to make through-out his life. By mid June of that year Greg was hired on as the head lifeguard at one of the lakes most prominent family retreats. The club pier and the beach where cool sparkling waves of water came gently rolling in was the place Greg would call home for the next 2 1/2 months.
Like all staff members each one pulled double duty. All except the two cooks who had to prepare meals for over 300 guests and staff. It was Greg's second job after his shift on the waterfront to make sure the evenings camp fires and fireplaces were set up. Those cool summer nights made for the perfect setting for sitting around a roaring camp fire or sitting inside your cabin next to a burning fire in the hearth. The retreats main lodge had a huge stone fire place that was the setting for many to congregate after the evening meal.
When Greg first arrived he made friends very quickly. He even became center fielder for the association's baseball team. It was always a summer tradition to play baseball with other associations and clubs that were scattered all around the lake. It wasn't his batting average but his fielding that Greg helped the team to go undefeated for the very first time.
As the summer wore on through Greg's watchful eye the only real emergency on the water front was recovering the many beach balls that always seemed to float way out into the lake. We have to remember that in the 1960's lifeguards used their strength, cunning, and agility in performing water rescues. Lifeguards around the lake were only outfitted with a safari hat and a whistle. The association had a back up row boat but by the time it was launched the rescues were already done. But, that particular summer that boat just sat idle on the pier ramp. The key to that successful summer was the preventative measures performed by the lifeguards that ultimately prevented any major incident before it happened.
It was the first Monday in August when a new group of families arrived. But on that particular Monday when the first group of swimmers began coming down to the waterfront Greg was already in the water cleaning the marker buoys that separated the beaches shallow waters from the drop off to deeper water. Out of the corner of his eye their on the sand stood a dark haired beauty unfurling a beach towel. Suddenly, somehow Greg notice a sparker in her eye as she gazed where he stood chest deep in water. Quickly Greg turned his attention back to the marker buoys. After finishing scrubbing the last one Greg dove under the attached rope and swam over to the deep end ladder on the club pier. Climbing out on to the deck Greg turned to look back and sure enough that gorgeous girl was gone. The rest of the day even though was uneventful except for a few beach ball rescues Greg couldn't get the sight of the beautiful girl out of his head. Was it a mirage, a figment of his imagination, or a fantasy conjured up in his mind if for just a brief moment an emptiness in his life fulfilled? Hoping against hope all Greg could think about that night was seeing her again.
The next morning was yet another scorcher. This being August even though in Wisconsin the summer nights are cool the days often rise into the low 90's. Today would be just another dog day in August or though he thought. As Greg finished swabbing down the association's pier when out of nowhere came a soft "Hi" As Greg turned around there she was a smile so infectious Greg immediately caught the fever. " Could you help me find my beach towel I left here yesterday." Before Greg could answer she put her hand out to is "My name in Nancy what is yours." "I'm Greg the lifeguard." "I kinda figured that when I saw you yesterday." Before long they were telling each other about themselves all the while Greg opened up the foot locker next to the lifeguard row boat and reached in to retrieve the assortment of left towels. When Nancy saw hers "That's it." Greg seized the moment and asked "Want to go for a boat ride after I get off." Greg had his families power boat moored close by. From that moment on for the rest of the week Greg and Nancy were inseparable.
For Greg it was love at first sight. They often say that love at first sight happens so rare. But for Greg to have been smitten so easily and so fast only deepened the emotion he felt. A burning desire to always be with her. As the week passed by where every moment shared memories were pressed into the pages of Greg's mind. Memories that carried the flames of desire burned deep with each passing day. It was nearing the last day before Nancy's family would go back to Milwaukee. Greg could see a change come over her as he held her hand. A stiffness that showed a reluctance to show the emotions that had prevailed ever since they met. At the time Greg thought nothing of it. They kissed and said they would meet later that night at their favorite hiding place behind the lifeguard shed.
A light rain was falling just around 10 that evening. There stood Greg umbrella in hand waiting so patiently behind that shed. As the rain fell even harder as the time passed the love of his life never did appear. It was half past midnight when Larry showed up. Larry was the assistant lifeguard who knew that Greg was so involved with this girl. They say one can see very clearly when one is on the outside looking in. Where Greg all he could see was a dark haired beauty with eyes so blue not knowing that a wicked game was played on him. From the very first day when Nancy and Greg met Larry tried to warn Greg not to fall so hard.
Denial has a way of soothing the pain of a love that was lost. For Greg the next morning the rain was still pouring down but the waterfront remained opened for any brave soul to venture in. Hoping against hope Nancy would come Greg stood vigil. It wasn't until later that day when Larry came down and said she is gone. "Their family left late last night." As if a knife was thrust into his heart the tears of anguish not sorrow or remorse but tears of knowing how love could hurt so bad fell like the rain drops from overhead.
For the remainder of that last month of summer all Greg could think of was try to find her and where her family lives. So consumed with emotion of a love that was gone where any other girls attempts at getting Greg's attention were completely unnoticed. All Greg could do was recount the days and nights of a week so rememberable nothing else seemed to matter. It as though a self protective shield enclosed Greg's persona. A shield that would detach himself from the harsh realities of becoming emotionally involved again.
As the summer came to a close that detachment, a resolve orchestrated a commitment to become stronger and gain inner strength of character to off set any chance of being conjoiled into a love relationship with any other girl over took Greg's personality. It wasn't until many years later that Greg finally located Nancy. Reluctant to see Greg she finally consented. Not a word of sorrow or remorse came forth only a shadow of emotion where no smile was shown. As Greg said goodbye all that remained were the memories of a blissful week of that day, suddenly that summer.

Margaret Ann (Twining) Walston, age 90, passed away unex¬pectedly of a stroke on December 2, 2011 in Colville. Born May 25, 1921 in Coulee City, she became the wife of Dale L. Walston of Colville in 1950 in Coulee City, and celebrated 61 years of marriage this past July.
Margaret graduated from Coulee City High School in 1939 as valedictorian of her class. She went on to graduate in 1944 from Eastern Washington College of Education in Cheney, where she majored in Home Economics, and enjoyed natural science courses such as geology. She began her long teaching career in Hoquiam, and retired from the Colville Public Schools in 1973, receiving the Colville Education Association "Teacher of the Year" award that year. She also taught in Aberdeen, Mount Vernon and Clarkston. Over the years, she taught in most grades, and in all of the Colville school buildings, including three that have since been torn down (Eels Academy, Angus MacDonald, and David Thompson). She taught elementary grades at Aster School for the last six years of her career.
Margaret was raised on the family farm near Coulee City, helping with farm chores and spending many hours outdoors with her brother exploring the dry land area around what is now Banks Lake. When Grand Coulee Dam was built in the 1930's, the family home and farm buildings were moved into the town of Coulee City, and the homestead acres were inundated by the reservoir. Margaret's father, Alf (A.J.) Twining, served as Coulee City Postmaster from the mid-1930's until his retirement in the early 1970's. Margaret was proud of her Welsh heritage; her grandfather and grandmother Twining immigrated to the West¬ern United States in the 1880's and joined other Welsh pioneer homesteaders in the Coulee City area.
During high school and college, Margaret held summer jobs such as apple picking in Chelan, as a nanny for a doctor's family in Spokane, and clerking at a warehouse that disposed of sur¬plus materials from the construction of Grand Coulee Dam. She also learned to hand-tint photographs, and applied to enter the Army, scoring highly on mechanical ability.
During a break from teaching in the war years of 1943-1944, she was working for a bus company in Seattle and was supposed to be "frozen" to this essential transportation job, but wanted to leave, so told them she was returning to teaching, naming Colville as her destination because it seemed far away. She and a college friend traveled by bus to Colville, were hired as teachers, and roomed with two other teachers in a private home. (Married women were not allowed to teach at this time, so boarding single teachers was common.) At this home, "The Teachers" were strongly encouraged to attend church with the couple, where they became active in the Methodist Young Adult group. In 1946, when several young men came home from the service, the con¬gregation began match-making, which resulted in several mar¬riages, including that of Margaret and Dale.
Margaret continued teaching full-time and as a substitute while she and Dale raised their two children, kept a large garden, and was active in the Methodist Church and Fort Colville Grange. She baked, grew and canned much of the family's food; sewed and knitted clothing for the family and for school produc¬tions; created Fair Booths and painted backdrops for Grange programs; served as baking and flower judge at the Fair for sev¬eral years; invented Halloween costumes for children and grand¬children; and built a large rock garden on the "sidehill" of their home on North Alder Street. A high point of every summer was the arrival of huckleberry season, and finding each year's ulti¬mate berry patch with high bushes and large berries that filled the lard pails faster!
As grandchildren began arriving, she enjoyed reading and cooking with them, sewing Halloween costumes, and taking the kids on vacation with Grandma and Grandpa. After Dale retired from the Colville Post Office, he and Margaret enjoyed keeping up their garden, traveling by car to 47 of the Lower 48 states and 9 of the 10 Canadian provinces, and participating in community activities such as Fort Colville Grange (60-year member), Stevens County Pomona Grange, Miss-N-Links Square Dance Club, the Northeast Washington Fair, and the Colville United Methodist Church.
Margaret was preceded in death by her brother, Dan Twining, in 1989, and by her parents, Alfred J. Twining and Elsie B. (Boone) Twining.
She is survived by her husband Dale at their home; her daughter, Susan Walston (Merriam, KS); son Richard Walston (Colville); seven grandchildren: Ryan Walston, Tacoma (Valerie); Erin Walston, Colville; Lieven Walston (Jessica), Spokane, An¬drea Walston, Dayna Walston (Josh), Tanner Walston, Ridge Walston; and three great-grandchildren: Jackson and Aleigh Cook (Erin) and Fiona (Ryan and Valerie); and Ryan and Erin's mother, Vicki Eveland.
A memorial service to celebrate Margaret's life was held Dec. 6 at the Colville Community (Methodist) Church.
Memorial contributions may be given to the church education fund, or to the Colville Food Bank (210 South Wynne St, Colville, WA 99114).
Please visit the on-line memorial and sign the guest book at www.danekasfuneralchapel.com.
Danekas Funeral Chapel and Crematory has been entrusted with the arrangements.
Private inurnment will take place at a future date at Highland Cemetery, Colville.

About Sue Lounsbury
My husband and I just purchased this beautiful home from a lovely couple who built it as their dream home. This is not your typical vacation rental but a home away from home. The gourmet kitchen and attention to detail is what you would expect of a PRIVATE HOME.
Sue Lounsbury purchased this house in 2014
Why Sue Lounsbury chose Saranac Lake
We have been coming to the Adirondacks and the Lake Placid Region for 10 plus years.
What makes this house unique
Every morning we awake to the most beauitful views of the bog , Lake and Mountains. Our 2 mile PRIVATE dirt road offers the best of both worlds, peace and quiet, yet minutes away from the village of Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hello, Al,
I trust everything was in order when you arrived at the house? We had such a great time - everything (including the cheeky red squirrels) was charming :) Nobody wanted to leave of course. My daughter loved the canoe - she went out several times with various members of the group (including me). And the deck was everyone's gathering place morning and evening. So beautiful.
I would highly recommend both your home and its excellent location to anyone who wanted to vacation in the area.
Thanks again to you and Linda for a great 10 days.

No Scrubs Lyrics - TLC
Review The Song (5)
A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fine
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So (no)
Chilli & T-Boz:
I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of your time and (no)
Chilli & T-Boz:
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Tryin' to holla at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Tryin' to holler at me
There's a scrub checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
Cuz I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash
Can't get wit' a dead-beat ass
So (no)
I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you my mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of your time (no)
If you don't have a car and you're walking
Chilli & T-boz & left eye:
Oh yes son I'm talkin' to you
If you live at home wit' your momma
Chilli ,T-boz &Left Eye:
Oh yes son I'm talkin' to you (baby)
If you have a shorty but you don't show love
Chilli ,T-boz &Left Eye:
Oh yes son I'm talkin' to you
Wanna get with me with no money
Oh no I don't want no (oh)
Chilli ,T-boz:
No scrub noo
No scrub (no
No scrub (no no no
No scrub (no
Left eye:
See, if you cant spacially expand my horizons,
then that leaves you in a class with scrubs
neva rising
i dont find it surprising if you dont have the g's
to please me and bounce from here to the coast of over seas
so, let me give you something to think about inundate your mind
with intentions to turn you out
can't forget the focus on the picture in front of me
you are as clear as dvd on digital TV screens
satisfy my appetite with somthing spectacular
check your vernacular
then ill get back to ya
with diamond like precision
insatiable is what i envision
can detect acquisition
from your friend's expedition
mister Big Willy, if you really want to know
ask chilli could I be a silly hoe?
Not really, t-boz and all my senoritas
are steppin on your filas
but you dont hear me no.

Sensible prenatal exercise is good for mother and child
But being pregnant is not an excuse to stop moving. In fact, prenatal exercise can alleviate some of the most common pregnancy discomfort and help Mama get ready for the big day.
"Most (pregnant) people are actually still able to carry on their fitness routines with some modifications," said Heather Feltmate, an OB-GYN at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Nashua. "Certainly 30 minutes of a good workout daily actually helps the pregnancy. Somebody who is more fit is just more likely to have a better experience pregnant."
For starters, Feltmate said, women who exercise are more likely to reduce their risk of developing gestational diabetes and hypertensive issues. Further, she said, given concerns about obesity - a national epidemic that can cause a slew of complications during pregnancy and birth - attempting to get some activity while pregnant is a great idea in order to avoid some of those complications.
And then there's the child the mother is carrying.
"It sounds cliche," Feltmate said, "but a healthy mom is more likely to have a healthy baby."
Strengthened muscles
Prenatal fitness routines can also help prepare women for the birth process, said Darcy Sauers of Dover, a postpartum doula, or non-physician who supports moms during labor. Sauers does before- and after-birth support as well, including a prenatal yoga class.
"You're not only strengthening your muscles and maybe toning your body, but you are also learning to relax," she said.
That relaxation and deep breathing is key to a smooth labor process, Sauer noted. Not to mention, she said, there are some yoga poses that can help during the birth because they keep the hips warm and loose, helping the pelvis to expand.
For women who weren't very active before the pregnancy, it is OK to start once pregnant, Feltmate said, though she added a note of caution.
"I wouldn't recommend jumping into a really rigorous workout routine," she said. "But certainly some cardio, some stretching would be fine. As long as they ease into it."
Even elite athletes will need to modify routines somewhat as they get further along into the pregnancy, Feltmate said.
"Certainly in the first trimester there aren't a lot of changes that occur that really interfere with rigorous activity," she said. "But by the second and third trimester, that's entirely different. The center of gravity changes during the pregnancy, and cardiac volume increases."
Feltmate said she typically tells people to follow the same guidelines as they would if they were just starting a workout routine in pre-pregnancy.
"You should be able to kind of carry on a conversation. You may get a little winded, but you should be able to talk through a routine," she said. "And that's a pretty good indicator that you're not pushing it excessively."
Feltman advises against activities where there is a risk of falling - skiing and non-stationary bike-riding for a couple of examples.
"Anything that has a high potential for trauma, you don't really want to do," Feltman said.
Lots of options
In New Hampshire, there are dozens of options for pregnant women to participate in a fitness program - prenatal yoga, dance and aquatics among them.
Prenatal yoga programs are among the most ubiquitous. Sauers said yoga is particularly good for pregnancy because it's gentle and the deep breathing helps with relaxation. "Which is so wonderful when you are pregnant," she said, "because when you're relaxed, that's when your cells grow; that's when your baby's cells grow. Also, in the middle of the night when you're pregnant and can't sleep, the deep breathing can help with that."
As for the actual poses, Sauers said they can go a long way toward alleviating common pregnancy ailments such as sore hips, back and knees, because yoga strengthens those muscles.
Julie Mudd, a certified dancing-for-birth instructor at Nini Bambini, a maternal wellness center in Nashua, said the Polynesian, African and belly-style dancing the women in her classes do can help get the baby in positions that are more comfortable for the mom and ready for birth.
Further, she added, dance really helps to work, hone and strengthen birthing muscles in the abdomen.
But maybe most important, Mudd said, dancing helps remind mom that she's still a woman.
"The intention is to help these women feel connected to their bodies," Mudd said. "Sometimes we don't have that chance to connect with our bodies the way we used to, before we were pregnant. So this really gives a chance to reconnect with our bodies."

Down in Brazil, the action is heating up as the elimination stage of the 2014 World Cup is just about set! I only know this because I live in Toronto, The Centre of the Known UniverseTM, where you can't stumble into a restaurant, bar, food court(!!!), doctor's office or electronics store without seeing soccer on several screens. This is the third World Cup I've spent in the city that Rob Ford un-built, and I can tell you that no other Canadian locale gives one-hundredth as many fucks about this event as Toronto does. In fact, I can almost guarantee you that there will be more Argentinian–and maybe even Swiss–flags than maple leafs flying in TO next Tuesday, unless you're within 50 feet of Edgefest. (On that note…Our Lady Peace again!? Really?)
But I guess I'm not your typical Torontonian, cuz my field of fucks lays barren when it comes to World Cup soccer. I haven't sat through more than 25-30 minutes of continuous futbol action this entire tournament–and even that was only on one or two occasions, when I'm on the treadmill. (Hey, it beats watching Off the Record with Michael Landsberg!) Those two times included the extremely biased second-half officiating of the home country's fixture against Croatia, as well as the indescribably dumb penalty call that advanced Greece over Cote d'Ivoire into the round of 16. Both of these games–or rather, the last 30 minutes of each–were enough to remind me why I hate soccer.
Don't get me wrong, I actually played the sport growing up, and not just for a year or two, but close to 15. Living in a mostly-Italian neighbourhood until the age of six, we were already being taught the art of headers and chest traps in kindergarten, our coaches telling us "C'mon, be a man!" as they chucked balls at our grills. Surpisingly, we weren't taught diving yet at that age–but then I moved across the country, and Calgarian coaches were much more conservative in their approach. I don't think I took another ball off the head till I was 12!
Mind you, Calgarian coaching did produce one international soccer star, just not for Canada. Can't say I ever played against Owen Hargreaves, but I'm pretty sure he could trap the ball against his chest, among other soccer skills. He actually suited up for England in '06, and I think he even became the first Canadian to score a goal…for England, anyways. (Wait, no he didn't.) Didn't give me anything to cheer for, but I remember Rogers Sportsnet being obsessed with that shit back in the day.
And therein lies the rub: I am nothing if not Canadian, at least fourth-generation on all sides of the family. My Icelandic ancestors came over to Gimli, Manitoba (aka Little Reykjavík) in the late 1800s, and I think my Scottish side had 'em beat by half a century. Thus, I really don't associate myself with any other country; besides, both Iceland and Scotland are rubbish at footy, or so I'm told. And the last–and only–time Canada ever qualified for the World Cup was 28 years ago, in which they lost all their games and didn't score a goal. Yeah, I think I'll stick to hockey…along with the rest of the country!
Of course, hockey just ended, but the lockout-free CFL season is right around the corner. How many Torontonians even know that the Argos are kicking off their season tomorrow in Winnipeg? OK, so it's no Ghana-Portugal, but I know which one I'd rather watch!
On that note, stay tuned for my CFL season preview tomorrow, and join me for some strictly Canadian content over the next couple weeks until this soccer nonsense buggers off into the next fortnight. I'm even going to a CFL game on the day before the World Cup final–and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more Stamps fans than typical Torontonians in attendance. ;)

Winter time in the studio
Categories: auction, Drawings, exhibitions, new work for sale, News, sketches
Despite a lack of heating common to most artist studios, it has been great finding a new early morning working regime in the studio. Trading an early morning bike ride for some time drawing has been really fruitful as I have been preparing works for a variety of upcoming shows including the Hong Kong exhibition 'Trailblazers' with Coates and Scarry. I am delighted to anounce 2 exhibitions that I will be involved in during January, firstly the London Art Fair at the Islington Business Centre. This will be my 4th time at the LAF and I am delighted to be showing work with Ink'd gallery as they attend the fair for the first time! Following this I will be exhibiting work at the Vyner street gallery later in the month in an exhibition called 'Fig.'which explores portraiture. I am lining up a small series of portraits studied from life and will be spending the early part of the new year working towards this show. If anyone is interesting in sitting for this series – please drop me an email.
Here's some pics of work in progress and some details of new pieces for the various fairs.
Dutch Auction with Eyestorm
The piece 'Mindscapes #1′ is being auctioned by eyestorm currently on their website… the piece is valued framed at £1650 but is being reduced each day, if you head over to the site now you might just grab a bargain – currently the price is below £1000, shocking!! I love this piece. The piece is a bit of a milestone, as it represents one of very few landscape pieces I have created and is purely abstract and involves paint, three dimesnsional elements and ggold leaf. Follow this link to watch the end of the auction over the coming days – or snap the piece up while you can! http://www.eyestorm.com/Pages/Product.aspx/Carne_Griffiths/Mindscape__1/4580522

Optimized Planar and Curved Diffsorbors
There is increasing interest in partially absorbing surface treatments that also diffuse reflected energy. This can be achieved by using a complex array of reflective and absorbent patches. This paper discusses optimization strategies to enable the pattern of absorptive and reflective patches to be designed to achieve a specified absorption value. It also shows how the use of non-flat surfaces can improve the diffusing properties significantly.

Blighty's carriers to field Windows Phone 7
What's with the hate?
Windows Phone 7 is a fine looking phone OS, and from what we've seen of the devices they seem quite decent. So what's with the hate from El Reg? Are you saying there is only room for two systems, iPhone and Android, and we never want another competitior?
WinPho7 sits in that middle ground. Unlike Apple, you have a choice of manufacturers, networks and handsets. Unlike Android, all apps have passed certification and are safe to install, without spyware or malware. Sure, both the other two are perfectly valid options, but so is this.
Disclaimer: I own an Android handset (HTC Desire). I bought my wife an iPhone for her birthday. I'm currently developing software for Windows Phone 7. I think I can claim not to be a fanboy of any system.
Bloated Office 2010 kicks dirt in face of old computers
How about some calmer analysis?
Sigh. My full install of MS Office 2007 takes up 640 Meg on my drive. That's hardly a phenomenal amount of resource. It's about 0.07% of my applications disk drive, for all my main productivity software.
I've just opened Word, Excel and Powerpoint, and for good measure put a 30,000+ word document into Word. It's using 96M of RAM. Not trivial, but any PC built in the last 7 years ought, for its main work function, have 100M of RAM available. A 512M machine running XP can handle it, easily. In comparison, I've just opened Firefox and opened BBC news, The Register and Anandtech - hardly a huge load - and it's taking 107M. Meaning Firefox with three pages needs more RAM than Word +30K word document, Excel and Powerpoint do simultaneously. And Office is the horribly bloated one?
Even with them both loaded, CPU load is trivial. Maybe 1%. OK, it's a modern machine, but still - even on an old machine it rarely uses much CPU. It's user-driven, after all, not rendering software.
Finally, MS does seem to get an unfair bashing when it releases any new software. Apparently MS is supposed to make everything run on 10 year old hardware - but if you're using a machine that old, why not use older software too? You don't *have* to upgrade. I've never heard anyone complain that the latest version of Adobe Photoshop should run well on their Pentium 2 with 128 Meg of RAM, yet apparently Windows 7, Office 2010 and Visual Studio should all run brilliantly.
There are reasons to bash MS, mostly for their business practices and occasionally for some of their older bits of software, and there's room to discuss whether or not the ribbon is a better interface than nested drop-down menus or not, but this knee-jerk "It's M$ therefore it's rubbish and EVIL and from the dEVIL!!!!111!!!11" reaction just makes it hard to decide whether an opinion is well reasoned and worth reading or just more hater nonsense.
Perhaps El Reg could give us a few examples of machines that it's impossible to run Word 2010 on? If it doesn't work on a 486 with 8M of RAM, that's one thing, if it doesn't work on an Athlon XP or P4 with 1G of RAM that's another, and if it doesn't work on an older Core2 with only 2G of RAM then it's definitely got a problem. But I suspect that would kill their point - a headline "Bloated Office doesn't run on a 486 with 8M and a 40 Meg HD from 1992!" doesn't sound nearly so dramatic. Of course, neither does "Office 2010 has the same resource requirements as the previous version."

Betty from Exeter, PA– Verified Buyer

Great Size
Danielle from Ravensdale, WA– Verified Buyer
Great size for planting. So many of these barrels are really deep and need a lot of soil. These are just right!
Great quality product
Ashleigh from Maynardville, TN– Verified Buyer
These look great on my front porch with flowers in them. Great value for the price. I especially like that you get four different sizes.
Great looking, not the studiest
Katherine from Ottawa, ON– Verified Buyer
I was really happy when I first opened the box. The wood is a decent weight and I love the deep colour of brown and the metal, but the barrells are constructed by individual panels of wood, and some of them fell out of place. When that happens, the rest of the slats also move. It was annoying to put back together. Overall, great look, not the best construction. Love the free shipping though!
What a deal!
Natalie from Clovis, CA– Verified Buyer
Seen the price of pots lately?? Ridiculous, right? These are a nice set for a good price. I'm using them for succulents and they are holding up well and look great.
Lula from Montana– Verified Buyer
They are nice..I stacked a couple and planted in a couple. I did use a plastic planter and did not plant directly into the planter itself.

WOLCOTTVILLE – A boy abducted 19 years ago in northeastern Indiana by his paternal grandparents has been found living in Minnesota under a different name, police said Thursday.
Richard Wayne Landers Jr. was 5 years old when he and his grandparents, who were upset over custody arrangements, disappeared. Indiana State Police said Landers, now 24, was found in Long Prairie, Minn., thanks in part to his Social Security number.
His grandparents were living under aliases in a nearby town and confirmed his identity, investigators said. Police declined to say whether the couple would face charges.
Police, who said Landers is married and expecting his first child, declined to release the names under which he and his grandparents had been living.
Police said the boy's paternal grandparents abducted him in July 1994 because they were upset over pending court proceedings regarding his placement. Police spokesman Sgt. Ron Galaviz said it appears the boy's father was never in the picture.
Police believe the grandparents took the boy from their home in Wolcottville, which straddles Noble and LaGrange counties, and fled. They were charged with misdemeanor interference with custody, but the charge was dismissed in 2008.

Rumors about a potential new phase of the Pfizer/AstraZeneca takeover saga just won't go away, with all the talk giving the U.K. pharma's share price a lift this week.

Does Pfizer still need AstraZeneca's vaccines business?
Earlier this year, when Pfizer made a play for rival pharma giant AstraZeneca, CEO Ian Read listed the British drugmaker's vaccines portfolio as a motivating factor.

Will it all work out in the end? It is a Hallmark movie, so what do you think? [25 Nov 2005, p.97]
Despite its pedigree as a "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentation, "Silver Bells" is only slightly more sophisticated than an after-school special.
Donovan is barely present, and while Heche may have her strengths as an actress, warmth would not seem to be one of them.
The holiday kitchen at Hallmark has served up an unusually bland dish, with a script flatter than one of the company's cards.

Billabong brand worthless as losses triple
Australian surf brand posts mammoth $860 million loss as writedowns take toll
Billabong has said its 40-year-old surf brand is worthless after company losses tripled amid store closures, firings and a breach of debt terms. Photo: Bloomberg
Billabong has said its 40-year-old surf brand is worthless after company losses tripled amid store closures, firings and a breach of debt terms.
Full-year losses widened to Aus$860 million (€576 million)in the year ended June from a $276 million loss in the previous 12 months.
Founded by Gordon Merchant in 1973, Billabong helped sell Australian surfing culture worldwide and rose to a market value of $3.84 billion at its peak in 2007.
Earnings have plummeted in the last two years as competitors including Abercrombie and Fitch stole market share and Billabong took on debt to build a store network that it's now shrinking.
"It probably isn't cool any more for the youth of today to wear Billabong," Todd Guyot, an analyst at Moelis and Co in Sydney, said.
"You can see how much the core business has deteriorated over the last few years. There's still a massive challenge to get the business going right."
The Gold Coast, Australia-based company has closed 158 stores, cancelled relationships with three-quarters of its suppliers, and is cutting 15 per cent of jobs in its European division.
The value of its 13 brands fell to $90 million at the end of June from $614 million in December 2011, and the Billabong label itself is worthless, the company said in its financial statements today.
About $37 million of group brand value was locked up in the DaKine outdoor clothing and backpack label which Billabong sold to Altamont last month.
Four other brands, including Element skateboards and Palmers surfboard accessories, were also written down to a zero valuation, according to the statements.
A 14 per cent fall in sales put revenue below the company's operating costs and the company took a loan from Altamont Capital Partners to refinance its debt.
Billabong's net tangible assets fell 86 per cent during the year to 11 Australian cents per share, it said today.
The company has agreed to a $294 million refinancing deal with a group led by Altamont Capital Partners and is studying a rival offer from a group including Oaktree Capital Management and Centerbridge Partners.
The Oaktree and Centerbridge proposal would save Billabong as much as $143 million in interest over five years, according to that group.
The prospect of refinancing and better business in recent weeks suggest the company is on the road to recovery, Peter Myers, acting chief executive officer, told an investor call after the results announcement.
It has "clearly been a tumultuous year," he said.
The company has been been fielding takeover or refinancing proposals for all but five weeks of the time since Launa Inman took over as chief executive officer in May 2012.
The business spent $23 million during the year on consulting and banking costs in relation to its takeover and refinancing proposals, greater than the value of its earnings before interest and tax.
Losses in Billabong's European division meant the company's business costs ran higher than its sales revenue, with the group making a $1.9 million loss before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
Discounting one-time items, Ebitda was $73 million over the full year, beating the $70 million average of eight analyst estimates and at the top end of a $67 million to $74 million range Billabong forecast June 4.

Google schedules online-only Project Ara conference
Summary: Good news: Everyone -- seriously -- is invited to Google's next event. Bad news: It's not on the barge.
Google's annual I/O developer conference is a regular sell out, but the same won't be said about the new Project Ara event.
That's because the Internet giant is choosing to livestream the online-only event, scheduled for April 14-15.
However, there appears to be an A-List of some sort still, as the Android maker noted that a "limited number of participants" will be able to attend in person at the Computer History Museum nearby the Googleplex in Mountain View, Calif.
Project Ara chief Paul Eremenko noted on his Google+ page on Wednesday that this will actually be the first of three Ara-specific events held throughout 2014, offering a glimpse at the topic roadmap:
The first of these will focus on the alpha release of the Ara Module Developers' Kit (MDK). The MDK, which we expect to release online in early April, is a free and open platform specification and reference implementation that contains everything you need to develop an Ara module. The Developers' Conference will consist of a detailed walk-through of existing and planned features of the Ara platform, a briefing and community feedback sessions on the alpha MDK, and an announcement of a series of prize challenges for module developers.
Project Ara first surfaced to the public eye back in October under the umbrella of Motorola Mobility as a unit for building an Android-style ecosystem for hardware.
However, Motorola splintered in a surprise deal last month as Google jettisoned the beleaguered phone brand to Lenovo for $2.91 billion.
Motorola's Advanced Tech department, which oversees Project Ara, was one of the few pieces that Google kept in its grasp.

- Yummy!lovetodineoutDined on 11/8/2014A coworker recommended this little gem to me when I mentioned I was going to Phoenix for the weekend tof celebrate my sister's birthday. I quickly and easily located the nearest location to her and made a reservation online. We arrived 15 min. early but they quickly sat our party of 10. The waitress was great and the food was amazing! We ordered three dishes, 2 large portions and 1 small portion, and one kid's meal and some drinks. I found a $10 off coupon on my phone which they let me use and that helped take a little off the bill. The total bill was $130 ish but split between a party of 10 and for the amount of food we got and ate, it was worth it! My only complaint is that they wouldn't give my sister a free dessert and they didn't sing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Place for a Family DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014The food is very good and the portions are huge and made to share. The only difficult part about that is if you have that one person who always likes something different than the group. The service was a little slow but it didn't appear to be the fault of our waiter. It appeared as if they may have been under staffed or had an unusual amount of very large tables.Special Features:

The food was delicious and the room we got was awesome - The Pope Room! my family thought I reserved it but I guess we just got lucky. It was intimate even with 10 people and two kids. We rarely go to Buca, mostly because of the amount of food given, but when we do it's for special occasions and we are never disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The server was nice but when she took our payment she charged everyones card twice resulting in all my out of state relatives alot of inconvience . The rest of my wedding weekend we had to replan because of the overcharge to everyones account . The waitress promised that the transaction did not go through twice which it did very disapointed this hindered my wedding weekend and we didnt even get to talk to a manager so unprofesional .Special Features:

- Great Lunch ExperienceMmmmmmfoodDined on 7/13/2014We chose this as a last minute lunch option for our sunday afternoon family lunch. They gladly accepted our last minute reservation for 7 and seated us right away upon arrival. Everyone that we crossed paths with greeted us going in and coming out. Service at the table was prompt and thorough and everyone was satisfied with the very generous portions. Not the first time here and definitely won't be the last.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth the money.KshabDined on 7/12/2014First and last time at this establishment. Ordered muscles for appetizer and when only half the shells were open, they had to bring a new batch. Veal parm was tough and flavorless. The server warned us that the veal was not good but since that's why we went there we decided to try it anyway. He was right. Overall the food was etible but not worth going there again. Not worth the money at all.
- Dinner with family from NYBoot143Dined on 7/11/2014Outstanding meal and service - couldn't ask for any better. We have not been in a while and this was better than we remember it. We will return and will recommend Buca to our friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Meal in sometime.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/10/2014What can I say. I took my girl here and this was my first time dining here.

Perfect for that special personSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gourmetDined on 6/22/2014Had a late Dad's Day celebration with party of 4. Were seated in the bar area. Music was very loud, but waiter was kind enough to lower to volume so we could hear each other. As usual, our food was delicious. The waiter was fantastic. The owner?/greeter was nice enough to take some pictures of us before we left with our camera & also an iPhone. Had food left over for lunch next day. Do feel the dinners get pretty pricey if you want bread, salad, etc., which are all extra charges. Really think bread, at least, should be included with dinner.Special Features:
- Needs Improvement!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014When we were seated it was in a room with 2 large groups that had young children that were very loud. I could not carry a conversation with my husband with out kids yelling. Then there were 2 birthday in that small room that made it even louder. We had 2 servers come to our table because they were unsure who's table it was. Then we were served our food with out any silverware. We had to flag someone down so we could eat. Then our waitress blamed someone else as to why we did not have any silverware. Overall the food was good but service and location our where we sat could have been better. This is my husbands favorite place to eat so we will be back. Like I said above its good for groups not for couples!!! I would work on that!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FoodEatouthealthyDined on 6/15/2014The rest of my party liked the food. I didn't enjoy the apple salad though. I thought the salad would be crisp. Some of it was crisp but a good portion was wilted. I ate very little of it at the restaurant and threw the rest away when I got home. It was tasteless and really threw my money away on that selection. We rarely eat here because there isn't a good selection of low carb entrees. But thought my husband would enjoy the pasta for Father's Day.Special Features:

- Last Minute Mother's DayDillOnTheFlyDined on 5/11/2014I made this late reservation for 4 people, while on the plane flying from Houston, TX to Phoenix, AZ. It was so easy to use opentable.com for the first time. We had a great time at Buca. The food was great and as always we left with take-out boxes. We ordered a Large Calamari, Small Garlic Bread, Large Spaghetti and Meatballs, Large Chicken Parmigiana, and a Large Margherita Pizza. It was all fantastic. My only complaint would be that we had to sit at a table, in what seemed like the smallest room and only room being used at the time so it felt a little crowded. At the same time, what more could you expect for an 8:15pm dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
