MMW Architects designed this green wall installation as a stunt project called Skien's MerSmak-festival in the back yard of the Lundetangen Pub. They constructed the bamboo scaffold system, measuring 12m x 6m x 0.3m and attached it to an existing concrete wall with plastic strips. This semi-permanent installation could easily be removed whenever. Although bamboo is not a common material for Norway, it is quite versatile, very rigid, resistant to rot and completely reusable for future installations.
After the scaffolding was constructed, the team planted large black hanging bags with humulus, parthenocissus, herbs and strawberry. The bags were then attached to the scaffolding with more plastic strips. As the plants settled into their new home, they crept up and grew onto the scaffolding and over time covered more and more of the supporting structure. The team also constructed a smaller installation during the festival that was used to grow food plants for the pub. This low impact, inexpensive, easy-to-construct green wall system could easily be used to create a vertical garden to grow vegetables, herbs and fruit.

I read the reviews and should have listened... The duvet is very wrinkled and not very soft. After one wash the threading around the edges are already showing/pulling. Just because it is a high thread count does not mean its high quality and its really not that soft either.
The quality of the sewing on the duvet was very poor. When I received it, there was extra thread all over it and I later discovered that was due to a slit down the side of one of the seams. So I ordered a replacement and when I took it out of the package, there was extra thread again. Upon looking at the seams, the sewing was very loose, so I just returned it. I would never purchase this product or recommend it.
Great duvet, not very breathable though so it can get very hot
The duvet cover had an overpowering formaldehyde odor when opened. The packaging smelled so bad, I removed it from the kitchen garbage and put it in the garage garbage can. The smell filled the garage within an hour, and I had to move the garbage can into the woods until trash pick up day. After washing the sheets six times in hot water, detergent and vinegar, the smell went away. So, the good aspect of this product is that it holds up well in the wash. I am not sure that it is safe to use on a bed.
These covers have a nice big opening at the bottom for inserting the comforter, which is much easier than other covers I have. The button closures are strong and work well. The reason I didn't give these five stars is because the cotton is slightly heavier than I had hoped for, but that means it should be sturdier too.
Can't beat the price of this quality cover set; the pillow sham covers and the duvet cover all do the trick, and the quality cotton and thread count make them attractive to look at.
feels soft after first wash, but too heavy for my taste
This duvet looks nice and is soft but after washing, it is pilling like crazy. We tried washing again and the same thing - just more pills
I am very pleased with this duvet it went on the comforter easily. I love the gold color.and it coordinates with the decor in my bedroom. However it is quite roomy and the comforter tends to shift away from the top but that is not a significant concern.Overall. I am very pleased with the product.
Very please with our purchase. Soft, good quality fabric; fit our large comforter very well

Fair value accounting continues to be a topic of significant interest and debate. With unprecedented market events, turmoil in the credit markets, and a downturn in the global economy in recent years, discussion of fair value has intensified. This discussion made clear the need for consistent fair value measurements in a global market. To that end, the fair value guidance is a principles-based global framework that, with few exceptions, impacts all fair value measurements in a reporting entity's financial statements.
Post-implementation review underway: The FAF has begun its post-implementation review ("PIR") of Statement 157, the pre-codification predecessor to ASC 820. The PIR seeks to determine if the standard is achieving its stated purpose, evaluate its implementation and continuing compliance costs, and provide recommendations to improve the standard-setting process.

Romain Grosjean believes Pedro de la Rosa was to blame for their crash during Saturday's qualifying for the Brazilian GP.
Contending with a slippery surface, the result of earlier rain, Grosjean attempted to slide down the outside of de la Rosa when the two collided.
As a result Grosjean's front wing connected with the pit straight barriers, forcing him back into the pits for a new nose.
Down in 17th place when the incident took place, Grosjean failed to recover and was eliminated from qualifying.
"I was behind Pedro for the whole lap," he told Autosport.
"I was going to overtake him in a straight line and I don't think he saw me and pushed me into the barriers. I braked as much as I could, but we had contact."
He added: "It's a disaster. We had a very good car. I don't know what to say. Let's see tomorrow, the weather may be strange."

How large does a lung nodule have to be for a PET scan to be accurate or the test of choice?
Anil Vachani, MD, Attending Physician at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, responds:
Pet is generally not recommended for lesions under 8mm. See Pulmonary Nodule on CT for more information.

If you are looking for a way to spend your free time, Broome County leaders and community organizations have a suggestion. They'd like to see more people volunteer their time. Melissa Kakareka has more on the initiative.
BROOME COUNTY, N.Y. -- There's a number of ways that people in Broome County can give back to their community and many people already do just that. Still, there is always a need for more help.
Service to mankind. That's the mission of the Binghamton Sertoma Club. Its members meet weekly at the Binghamton Club and seek to support speech and hearing programs through fundraisers and activities. But finding members isn't always easy.
"Trying to get adults that will donate the time and become a member of our organization is difficult because it's truly a commitment," said Ron Goodwin, Binghamton Sertoma Club Board of Directors Member.
County Executive Debbie Preston and leaders from a number of local service organizations are trying to get more people involved in service clubs as well other charities and non-profit organizations.
"In this time of year, it may be difficult to give financially but time is our most valuable commodity and it is desperately needed," Preston said. There are roughly 200,000 people in Broome County and it is estimated that about 50,000 of those people already volunteer in some way. Service groups are encouraging everyone to find a cause that they are passionate about.
"We have 31 partner agencies that we fund programs at and every single one of those agencies rely on volunteers to help them do the work. And its other things as Debbie mentioned, people who volunteer to teach Sunday school at their church or volunteer for youth sports or who just want to go cleanup the highway with adopt a highway program, volunteerism takes many forms," said Alan Hertel, United Way of Broome County Executive Director. And while community service does tend to rise during the holiday season, leaders are hoping to help local charities and organizations fill their need for help year round.
"Everyone is in the giving spirit and helping spirit this time of year, but we need to maintain that the whole year."
Officials say the not-for profit organizations also account for 10 to12 percent of the local economy, so they say by giving time you are helping the economy as well as people and organizations in need. They say whether it's three hours or 50 hours, any amount of time that someone donates to the Broome County community is time well spent.

text: 4 JACKS BACK!MovieAddict | 28/05/2011 | See all MovieAddict's reviews (1336)Top 10 Reviewer Top 10 DVD Reviewer The critics have always given the Pirates movies a hard time, they even tore into the first (and still the best) movie.For me parts two and three suffered from being shot back to back and the story was confusing and at times made little sense.To find the fouth film was a stand alone movie with no ties to parts two and three and ditched the love triangle between Keira Knightly and Orlando Bloom could only be a positive thing.The plot centres around as to what was hinted at the end of part three in the search for the fountain of youth. Again we are joined by the ever excellent Geoffrey Rush as Barbossa the equally as good Ian McShan as Black Beared and at the time pregnant Penelope Cruz , but as alway this is Johnny Depp's film and he again is outstanding as captain Jack Sparrow.Under the new direction of Rob Marshall the whole film feels fresher. But there is a down side to all this. In th first there was the crew of the damned, second and third we had Davey Jones and his crustation crew, but in this we have zombiefied crew that no way match the other creatures in the series, the film also seems to lack a few action scenes as once they get on the Island where the fountain is, nothing really seems to happen and this could have been to put to good use and is a missed oppatunity to make this chapter stand out from the rest.The show stoppin scene is the Mermaids, both stunningly beautiful and deadly this does rate as one of the best scenes in the series. In the cinema the 3D was great, but when it arrives on DVD/Blue Ray it may show the faults in the film even further.For me athough I thought the film was a slight improvment on parts two and three it's still not a patch on The Curse of the Black Pearl.This is stil top draw family entertainment, and if you loved the original three you should lap this entry up almost as much.See if you like.Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse Of The Black pearl." " " Dead mans Chest" " " At Worlds End.National Treasure 1 & 2.Raiders of the Lost Ark.Temple Of Doom.The Last Crusade.Kindom Of The Crustal Skull.Harry Potter 1 - 7Cut Throat Island (Did anyone like it?)

I have a campsite that me, my husband, and our children stay at on weekends for seven months out of the year. With it comes the task of buying food and drinks to pack up there. Once in a great while I will buy bottled beverages but, for the most part, I prefer that we drink out of reusable bottles and cups. By doing so, it helps eliminate trash and waste. It also helps keep costs down.
We use various brands and designs of resuable water bottles, some better than others. The stainless steel bottle from S'well is one of our preferred to use.

Sebastian Vettel is not expecting to mentor Daniel Ricciardo but rather expects both drivers will learn from each other.
This season, Vettel will have to adjust to a new team-mate in Ricciardo after the Aussie has been promoted to replace his retired compatriot Mark Webber.
And although Vettel has more experience and four World titles to his name, the German believes his new team-mate will give him a "hard time."
"To give him any advice is very difficult because everybody has his own style," Vettel told Crash.net.
"I'm sure that there are a lot of things that probably he will learn from me but equally I'm hoping to learn a lot of things from him.
"He's a different driver, he has a different view of things and I think if you keep your eyes and ears open you can always learn.
"Even though he doesn't have the experience that maybe Mark had over the last years, but still he's talented enough, he's earned his place and I'm sure he'll give me a hard time."
The 26-year-old does, however, concede that it will take time for Ricciardo to adjust to life at Red Bull and the pressure that comes with it.
"In the end he's grown up. That's what it says in the passport and also as I've got to know him, he became a man. Obviously he's been in Formula One for a couple of years now and has experience.
"Surely it's a new step for him, a new environment; not that much of a step because he knows some of the people already. He's been to the simulator quite a few times over the last couple of years and he knows the staff.
"But still it's a different environment to work in. To work with these people is different to just knowing them, so he will obviously have to get to know everybody and - speaking from my experience - it takes some time to speak the same language when you're talking to the engineers etc.
"Everybody is happy for him to arrive at the team and we're looking forward to having him on board. Obviously there are a lot of new things this year, everybody has to adapt, so I'm sure he will find his way quickly."

Congrats Colleen! - Overall Winner Triple-S 2013
The 2013 Triple S Invitational just wrapped up. This year saw some big changes at SSS. The new format was introduced changing the event from a brodown jam format to heats with a scoring system and a panel of judges. This turned up the pressure on the competitors, who now had to not only throw bangers but throw them consistently. In sliders the riders had two runs through the park, taking a score from your best hit on each feature. Tom and Craig rode together in heat #3, along with Aaron Hadlow, Andre Philipp, Rick Jensen, BCS, Chad Worrall, Davey Blair and Joby Cook. Only three riders would advance through and unfortunately Tom and Craig were just slightly edged out of the finals by Hadlow (5x World Champ), Chad Worrall (pro cable rider) and BCS (local legend).
Mens slicks was going to be another tough heat for Tom and Craig with some really strong riders in heat #3. 8 tricks, 4 get scored and only 3 people would be advancing into the finals. With some major tricks going down from everyone it was super close but Craig managed to make his way through and into the finals. Respect!
On the womens side of the event, it was total domination by North Kiteboarding rider Colleen Carroll! She was riding super strong and made it through to the finals in every discipline! And she didn't slow down their either! She's worked really hard the last few years and it's paid off with a full sweep of the Triple S podiums! 1'st place in sliders, slicks and surf! Way to go Colleen!
Some other big changes came about at Triple S this year! The new NKB rooftop slider and NKB shotgun rails are a staple of the park! North Kiteboarding is not only keen on growing the team with Colleen, Tom and Craig but also putting dollars into making sure there is world class features to push it on!
Ride - with Stefan Spiessberger
"Kiteboarding changed my life - from riding my bike to my homespot in Austria every single day to traveling around the world and enjoying the most beautiful spots for Kiteboarding all year long. When I did my first turns on a Kiteboard, I knew that this was something special - freedom, nature and a fast progression made this sport my biggest passion. But there was one thing that I didn't expect in first place - to make a profession out of my hobby. Being able to live that live still feels like a dream to me!" says Austrian Kitesurf Professional Stefan Spiessberger.
This video gives an inside view of the beginning of Stefans carreer and his unbeatable will to get on the water as often as possible and as well shows the latest moves of the European Vice Champion from his winter trip to Cape Town / South Africa.

'Princess Prof' Gets Attention of Class Studying 'Don Quixote'
Cervantes' Novel Is a 'Wonderful Commentary on Living the Dream'
September 24, 2012
English professor Marta Wilkinson dressed as a princess when introducing Cervantes' classic novel, "Don Quixote," to her world literature class.
Marta Wilkinson illustrated Don Quixote's obsession of being a knight by showing up to class dressed as a princess.
She recently introduced Miguel de Cervantes' early 1600s classic, The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, to her world literature class.
Wilkinson, associate profesor of English, described Don Quixote as a "wonderful commentary on living the dream." She didn't reveal on whether the princess persona might be an alter ego of hers.
"As Don Quixote drew his inspiration from chivalric romances, I too based my costume in literature," she said, noting hers was inspired by Barbie dolls and Disney's Princess Collection of Tales. Her princess costume featured an unlikely prop, a sword, which emanated from another piece of favorite literature in her fantasy, The Three Musketeers.
Wilkinson decided to wear the princess costume to help her students understand the meaning of satire on the part of the author and parody as illustrated through the actions of the main character.
"I think students enjoyed both the reading and my costume," she said.
Those familiar with the novel and its stage adaptation, Man of La Mancha, will recall Alonso Quijano is a Spaniard nobleman that becomes obsessed with stories about knights and chivalry. He sets out with lance and sword under the name Don Quixote in search of adventure. He recruits a simple laborer, Sancho, as his squire.
(LEFT) Picasso's famous drawing of Don Quixote and Sancho.
His fantasy leads him to fighting windmills.
"Since historical context is not always clear when new works are introduced, I wanted to help them understand that, even in 16th century Spain, this older gentleman with his armor and his cardboard helmet is a ridiculous and sorry sight," she said.
"Don Quixote is a literary classic, however, because of his pure dedication to the ideals that he holds and the role he wants to play. He creates his own world, lives in it and even gets others to comply with his reality."
Wilkinson said the novel makes readers question the difference between objective and subjective reality.
"As we continue on into subsequent readings, the students also will see Cervantes' mastery of combining both high humor (via word choice and irony) and low humor (toilet jokes)," she added.
Many consider Cervantes' The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha among the world's greatest works of fiction.

Gurler House
Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music. While you are at The Gurler House, make sure to take a walk through their beautiful garden.

The album features sea shanties and drinking songs, traditional tunes and Gaelic Storm originals, instrumental workouts and vocal showcases. Regularly playing more than 120 shows a year, Gaelic Storm has built a loyal following as diverse as the band's own music. Fans of traditional Irish music have championed the group for years, as have fans of harder-edged Celtic rock. On tour, Gaelic Storm is just as likely to play a large rock club as a plush theater. Gaelic Storm has straddled the line between tradition and innovation for nearly two decades, infusing traditional Celtic music with modern influences, and updating the genre for a new generation of fans raised on rock, country and folk. Along the way, the group has topped the Billboard World Chart four times and earned a reputation as a hard-touring, genre-bending band. Tickets for Friends of the Egyptian Theatre members go on sale Wednesday, October 1 at 10:00 AM. Tickets for the general public go on sale Friday, October 3 at 10:00 AM. Reserved tickets are $25-$37 http://egyptiantheatredekalb.ticketforce.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=16

Serious questions were raised by two Federal Reserve Bank presidents recently whether enough is being done to prevent another financial crisis threatening survival of the nations too big to fail banks.
We have made some progress on the TBTF problem, said William C. Dudley, CEO of the New York Fed, particularly in reducing the likelihood that a large, complex firm will reach the point of distress at which society faces serious costs. But we have a considerable ways to go to finish the job and reduce to tolerable levels the social costs associated with such failures.
Dudley does not currently favor breaking up or limiting the size of the biggest firms, as some Fed officials and others have suggested. My own view is that while this could yet prove necessary, it is premature, he said, to give up on the current approach: changing the incentives facing large and complex firms, forcing them to become more resilient and making the financial system more robust to their failure.
Too big to fail is an unacceptable regime, Dudley concluded in his remarks at a Clearing House conference in New York City. The good news is there are many efforts under way to address this problem. The bad news is that some of these these efforts are just in their nascent stages. It is important that as the crisis recedes in memory, that these efforts not flag this is a project that needs to be seen to a successful conclusion and then sustained on a permanent basis.
Esther L. George, CEO of the Kansas City bank, questioned whether the misaligned incentives that led to the crisis have been corrected. Quite clearly, a major issue in the United States and many other countries during the crisis was the public assistance and protection that was given to banks deemed too big to fail, she said. We cannot expect to have a sound financial system if the key players in it are not held fully responsible for the choices they make, she told global supervisors at a meeting in Panama City, Panama.
Enhanced supervision and the related steps many of us are taking now are unlikely to work well as long as major institutions still have incentive to take on added risk, she added. Strong leverage ratios are essential, in her view, but along with them, we must have the correct supervisory focus, particularly since we have not followed some of the lessons of the previous crisis.
George is especially concerned that the importance of traditional supervisory tools microprudential supervision, careful examiner assessments of credit and other banking risks and evaluations of the quality of bank management will be forgotten. Today we are focused on enhanced supervision of the systemically important financial institutions, stress tests, macroprudential supervision and many other reforms, she said. These steps will not get us very far if we dont first address the incentive problems in our financial institutions, insist on better bank management wherever needed and emphasize our traditional supervisory framework.
It is clear from the two Fed presidents remarks that there is no magic bullet in the Dodd-Frank Act for dealing with too-big-to-fail institutions. While their approaches to this issue differ in certain respects, attention should be paid by policymakers and regulators writing new rules.
