Fenofibrate FAQ
In This Section:
- Does fenofibrate initially cause an increase in daily bowel movements and/or gas?
- I was prescribed fenofibrate because although my triglyceride levels are normally fine, they spike to really high levels at times. Reading the information on the drug insert, I've read, "avoid alcohol when taking this medication." Does that mean completely? Will a glass of wine or two interact dangerously with this medication?
Does fenofibrate initially cause an increase in daily bowel movements and/or gas?A: Fenofibrate is a medication used for cholesterol. Studies suggest that fenofibrate initially can cause diarrhea, constipation, nausea and stomach discomfort. As your body gets used to the medication, these side effects might subside. If it is intolerable or extremely bothersome, please contact your physician to rule our other conditions. it is important to take medications exactly as prescribed by your physician.

Hello All - Slowly getting my Provencal act together! We found a lovely babysitter for Augustin, so now I have a few hours each morning to work (and share). I know everyone is expecting house photos - and I'm on it - just found the charger for my camera after a (desperate) two week ransacking of the boxes...
I could say I've been cooking - but that would be a slight distortion - it's more like arts and crafts: combining, stacking, slicing and dicing a few essential summer ingredients: tomatoes, tomatoes, melon, jambon cru (raw ham), peaches, plums, figs, tomatoes. And did I mention the tomatoes? I haven't turned on the stove in weeks.
The Provencal tomato is a thing of wonder - small as a marble, large as a human heart, red like a valentine, yellow like a sunflower, orange like an overripe apricot, bright green like a brand new leaf, even purplely olive, like seaweed seen through moving water. The names are equal to the colors: Ananas (Pineapple), Noire de Russie (Black Russian), Brin de Muguet (Lily of the Valley).There's no messing with perfection (ok, a little messing, just for fun) - a few crystals of coarse sea salt, a drizzle of local olive oil and a sprig or two of purple (yes, royal purple, my favorite childhood color) basil. I did do some impromptu matchmaking...Baby tomatoes with smoked mozeralla, red onion, fennel and balsamic vinegar. A giant yellow tomato (That's him. Her? Him, I think. It's a very muscular tomato) with a local sheep's milk cheese (feta would do nicely) and green basil. Last night I got a little fancy and layered slices of beefsteak tomato with artichoke puree and slivers of parmesan. I love to think of the utterly pretentious name this would be given in a trendy Parisian bistro...millefeuille de tomate Provencale, tapanade d'artichaut frais et coppa de Parmesan d'Italie (AOC) sur son lit de salade sauce apricot. The "sauce apricot" was an happy accident. While making the dressing for the green salad, I mistook a bottle of peach/apricot syrup for the olive oil. Since it was already at the bottom the bowl, I decided to try my luck. Mixed with dijon mustard and some olive oil, it was very nice - much sweeter than a French vinagrette, more like an American-style honey dijon. I decided to add it to my pretentious Parisian bistro dish because (believe it or not) they love imitating American food. Anyone who has been in Paris this past year or two will note the rise of "le Tchizzburger" (that's bistro for "cheeseburger").
Friends who sold all their worldly goods to go on an extended trip around the world stopped in for lunch (yes, even people freshly moved to Provence can experience travel envy) - and I discovered that my vegetable peeler makes very nice parmesan curly whirlies for yet another tomato salad. Excuse the close up. Tomato porn. Yes, must move on.
The days are hot and sunny - lunchtime is a search for shade. The evenings are cool and often breezy - ideal for long dinners in the garden (G. managed to snap this photo of both tomato salad and the view from our upper terrace.) I too am being eaten - the misquitos have been feasting on my ankles. My dad used to say it's because I was "sweet meat"...
Hope you too are enjoying the sweet days of summer!
P.S. I'm thinking of another tomato experiment - "tomato tatin" - which amounts to an upside down tomato tart. We'll see if I get up the courage to actually turn on the oven to slow roast the tomatoes...

Great pictures! We arrive in Provence next Wednesday and I can't wait to leave the Australian winter (it does exist!) behind. Am hoping my morning sickness will have subsided so I too can enjoy some tomatoes!!Sadly though, no blue cheese for me.ReplyDelete
Looking forward to the next post.
Tess in Oz.
J'adore les tomates -at the moment here in Australia they are out of season - but it won't be long before I can plant my little seedlings into my salad patch. I usually plant them with sweet basil and a row of cos lettuce on the side.ReplyDelete
What tomato love! In fact, I remember reading something about the tomato being the fruit of love...ReplyDelete
A quick Google search yields this interesting bit (from epicureantable.com):
"The tomato, though first thought to be purely decorative before being tried - with trepidation - for culinary purposes, was later banned by the Church of Rome for being 'the devils fruit' and a sinful indulgence.
It's seductive harlot red colour, the sensuous, slightly sweet flesh bursting with juicy splendour - proved far too much for the Church Fathers who called it scandalous."
I loved all of that, and the rest of the article is good, too.
Thank you so much for this update, and I am so glad the camera finally turned up. What wonderful ways to have tomatoes! I'm also so glad you are settling in well to your new home. :)

For your next tomato bit, why not try a Southern (American) Tomato Pie? Of course, you'll have to turn on the oven for the crust, but I promise you'll love it. Just Google for a good recipe. It's basically a crust, blind-baked, then tomatoe slices, and a mixture of cheese and mayo, basil on top, then repeat. End with cheese at the top. Shredded cheddar. Bake until hot and luscious.ReplyDelete
P.S., I'm not anonymous, just can't remember my password.
This made me envious... Not such a gorgeous bunch tomatoes in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico where I live. Beautiful pictures, amazing words…ReplyDelete

Reading your blog is such a joy and I loved the book as well! We have an overabundance of tomatoes in our backyard garden in San Diego and now I have about seven new ideas for the surplus. I will just have to close my eyes and imagine the fabulous Provencal landscape in the background as bite into my tomato feta basil salad. Gracias :)ReplyDelete
Just read your book last month and I have been recommending it to everyone I know ever since. I am quite moved by your tomatoes. I live in Las Vegas and my attempt at a spring tomato garden was twarted by early, intense heat, thus cooking my plants to a crisp. The young fruit had blackened burn marks on them! So, I will enjoy tomato heaven (aka "summer porn")via blog - and get more of your writing to enjoy as well.ReplyDelete
For when you're next back in Paris, Les Philosophes on rue vieille du temple does my favourite tomato tatin... yummReplyDelete
I'm in your hood now, enjoying all the great NY food! Not a tomato in sight - no wonder I always put on so much weight when I'm here.
Dear Elizabeth, I absolutely loved Lunch in Paris! It's the perfect melding of, gosh, everything on my mind these days. Success, values, food, love, learning to cook... 20 pages in I even 'tweeted' about it as I made lists of friends' I'm buying it for. I immediately made your yogurt cake (my life is forever changed) and I am dying to get salmon in puff pastry made. Finding your blog was the cherry on top of one of the most satisfying reading experiences I've had in years and I can't wait to read more. Thank you, again.ReplyDelete
I have never seen a tomato that big! It is very impressive and I'm jealous as my mouth is watering seeing photos of tomatoes that I just know are full of flavour!ReplyDelete

Myrtle Beach Woman Arrested for 12 Tax Charges
Columbia, SC (April 2, 2013) --- Investigators from the SC Department of Revenue (DOR) arrested Cynthia Jean Williams Tuesday for twelve state tax charges related fraudulently filing of individual income tax returns.
Williams is the latest individual to be charged by DOR in a series of related arrests in a tax scam in Horry County. Cynthia Williams' brother, Tracy Williams, was also arrested in February of this year for similar charges.
According to officials, Williams, 33, was arrested for four counts of assisting in the preparation of a fraudulent tax return, four counts of forgery, and four counts of conspiracy.
For the 2011 tax year, Williams provided fraudulent W2 forms to individuals to have income tax returns prepared in each of their names. Williams assisted in the preparation of the fraudulent returns which resulted in the individuals requesting federal and state refunds totaling $36,250 to which they were not entitled.
Cynthia Williams, a resident of Myrtle Beach, is currently being held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Conway where she is awaiting a bond hearing.
If convicted of the 12 tax charges, Williams could face up to 60 years in prison and/or up to $22,000 in fines. The Horry County Sheriff's Office assisted with the arrest.

Solar Pocket Pages 4.25.13: A funny thing happened on the way to the pocket
Good evening, dear pockets.
We shall start with an announcement:
Those of you who got kit rewards should have them or will be receiving them shortly, and Shawn and I thought it would be a good idea to make a forum for people to discuss all things solar. So, we present to you (drumroll, please....), the Solar Pocket Forum!
Both Shawn and I will be reading and posting on the forums. We encourage you all to share your projects, to post and discuss and help one another, and above all, to make wonderful things.
...And now, an update:
It's been quite hard to write with authority about something that we're making up as we go along, but that's the pocket factory story these days. The Solar Pocket Factory has moved into a realm of uncertainty, and Shawn and I are experimenting in real-time with this beast, trying to chart a way through the microsolar murk with a blinky compass and poor visibility.
We got our first full machine making panels on the morning of January of 18th, after an all-nighter hacking on the code and mechanicals that made it work. Three hours after filming the video, we caught a train up to Dongguan to try to sell the machine to a microsolar manufacturer.
Long story short, selling a machine that costs $50,000 is easier said than done. We tried over and over again, but clinching the deal was always a trick. Even more disconcerting was the idea that Shawn and I wouldn't buy a machine for $50k, so we were trying to sell to people who were, well, not-us. This requires an extra degree of sales acumen, and frankly, that's not our strong suit.
One day in March, Shawn and I were playing around with a laminator, and we happened upon a funny combination of materials: PET film, solettes, EVA and PET film. When we made a sandwich of these materials and ran them through a laminator, we got a solar panel. It was waterproof. It was sturdy. And it worked.
Our current Solar Pocket Factory automates the traditional construction technique for solar panels. The thing is, this is a pretty intricate process--we have to place solettes, coat tabbing in rosin, dispense a certain length of tabbing to connect neighboring solettes and solder the tabbing to the solettes. We can do all this, but each of the steps adds complexity and expense to the machine. What's exciting about the lamination technique is that it's a new process--with this technique, we don't use any tabbing, and we don't solder the solettes. We just have to place the solettes and the end contacts for the panel, and then we run it through a laminator. The pressure of the lamination is enough to hold the solettes in electrical contact. This is a much simpler process, and it means that a machine that builds panels with this process is also much simpler.
Here's an illustrated view of the process:
The astute reader of the Pocket Pages might ask, "wait a second--I thought you tried shingling before! What's different now?"
Well, astute reader, I'm glad you asked. Before, we soldered our shingled solettes together, and this made our panels susceptible to thermal stresses that build up as the panel microscopically expands and contracts as it heats up and cools down. Now, the solettes are pinned together with a lamination, but they are free to slide against one another, keeping those thermal stresses from building.
Here's a more detailed explanation (with pictures!) of the problems with soldered shingling:
Once we had this simple process of shingling and lamination solar panels, Shawn and I started to think about a variant of the Solar Pocket Factory could make these panels. After a bit of doodling, we drew up a machine that we code-named the Basking Shark. This is very similar to the upside-down shingling machine that Shawn shows off in the Science Friday video from ~six months ago. We assemble a shingled panel upside-down onto scotch tape, and then bring in rolls of plastic on either side of the panel and run the whole thing through a laminator to seal it. A continuous strip of working, plastic-encapsulated panels comes out of the end of the laminator, ready to go.
One thing you may notice about this design is a couple little logos on the top right: Creative Commons and Open Hardware. We think of this design as a hackable tool for making and experimenting with solar panels, and we want other people to build off our designs and techniques, add their own ideas into the mix, and continue to share. We yearn to see tons of new ideas around ways to make and use solar panels, and we think a simple, open tool that makes it easy to make lots of solar is a big step in the right direction.
It's not all fancy illustrations, too. These last two weeks have been particularly fruitful ones. We've been up to our elbows in laminators, plastic sheets and solar panels, working out techniques for the perfect lamination, and this ugly tangle of aluminum extrusion is the first Basking Shark prototype:
We still have lots of designing, prototyping and testing to go, but at 5am one morning, after an intense night of hacking, I got the first complete panel placement off the prototype Basking Shark machine. The future is bright!
There's one other big change I want to bring up: I'm going to move out of the Philippines on July 1. I've been in the Philippines for over eleven months, now, and I've come to understand a lot about living and working in the country. One of the main reasons I moved to the Philippines was to be able to work on cleantech projects relevant to the country. I believe that microsolar is a relevant, important technology that can offer a lot to the Philippines, but right now, I'm spending the bulk of my time working on the Solar Pocket Factories that make microsolar, rather than making and distributing microsolar products themselves. At this point in the Pocket Factory's development, most of the people interested in our pocket factories are in the US, China and Europe, we're assembling our latest factories in Hong Kong, and I'm working on the electronics from the Philippines. We are a small team, with limited resources, and we're spread very thin right now. We are reaching a point where we can get not only panels, but accessible pocket factories out into the world, and I want to be able to dedicate the time and effort that the project needs.
Part of my decision is also a personal choice, and that's also important to me.
There are still projects to do in the Philippines, and when the factories are ready, there will be an opportunity to get our microsolar out into the country, but right now, we need to focus on making the machines work and getting them out into the world.
To my friends in the Philippines, to those who helped me move here, who worked with me, advised me, traveled with me, sang beatles songs at 3am, stayed up all night and goofed off with me--marami salamat po.

Press reviews
"Argentinean torrontes is another good option with spicy food, again with some of that exotic gewürz character, but fresher and more floral. The fragrant Dominio del Plata Torrontés 2012, from torrontés specialist Susana Balbo, is a great example. Try it with bright, zesty seafood dishes such as ceviche."
Fiona Beckett, The Guardian , 15th March 2014
"Torrentés is an oddball grape variety that works wonders in the wilds of Argentina. It can end up fruity-cocktaily and a little soapy, but in the right hands it's wistful, dry and enchanting. Aromatically exotic but citrussy on the finish, this is a marvellous aperitif wine."
Mathew Jukes, Daily Mail , 15th March 2014

Middle-Level Series Concludes
During the past few months, the Principals' Office has featured the Middle-Level Blog Series, which addressed topics like bullying and technology from the particular view of the middle-level administrator. Mark Terry's posting below will conclude the first installment of the Middle-Level Blog Series. But continue to check out the Principals' Office blog for other series, like the one upcoming on Diverse Learning Communities, and for a continuation of the Middle-Level Blog Series this spring.
Reversing Teacher Turnover
It is fast approaching the time of year when I dread having a teacher visit my office and ask to "speak with me for a moment." Those words are often the precursor to a discussion about the teacher leaving our school. It can be one of your best teachers or one with whom you have been working to gracefully "exit" from the profession. But it is the loss of elite teachers, the master teachers, that causes me tremendous heartburn. It could be that they are leaving for a higher-paying position, they could be retiring, or they could be leaving the field. But, I work diligently to make sure they are not leaving because of a feeling of being underappreciated. This is especially important in a middle-level school, with its special challenges.
What ideas do you have to retain your best and brightest teachers?
Mark Terry is principal of Eubanks Intermediate School in Southlake, Texas, and is the Middle-Level Foundation Member on NAESP's Board of Directors.
Financial Crunch
I am a middle school principal with 38 years in public education. My school is in a large district that serves 63,000 students. We have lost millions of dollars from our budgets, with the expectation of losing millions more. So far at our middle school, we have lost 10 teachers, one school resource officer, four teacher assistants, two custodians, one secretary, and one cafeteria worker, with more cuts to follow. All administrators have taken a pay cut and more pay cuts will be scheduled next year. Our student-to-teacher ratio has increased, as have offerings to students.
Our sub budget and supply budgets have been cut in half (we can't even have mini fridges anymore). Teachers are reluctant to miss days due to colleagues having to fill in for them. All sports programs have been cut. All district programs such as the science fair and band/chorus concerts have been cut. There is no more textbook money and no more staff development, unless it is online or after school. The budget cuts have also affected our ability to conduct field trips.
We don't take checks from parents anymore because we have lost $1,000 due to bad checks. Parents don't pay for lost or damaged textbooks due to their financial situations. We have had to be more energy conservative; we can't stay late since all computers are turned off by 9 p.m., and we can't come in on weekends to work.
I have just described what is going our school this year—next year it should be worse. Legislators have said there is plenty of money, but that we just don't use it correctly. Our state is in a $2 billion deficit and education and social services will share most of the loss.
Right now our state and district are in a tremendous financial crunch, I'd like to know how other schools and districts are faring. Leslie Potter is principal of Silver Sands Middle School in Port Orange, Florida
Appreciating the Principal
Father's Day, Administrative Assistant's Day, Women's History Month … the list goes on. Now we can add Virginia Principals Appreciation Week! Governor Timothy M. Kaine has declared January 12-16, 2009, Principals Appreciation Week.
This statewide public acknowledgement of the important role that principals play in their school communities, helping students achieve bright futures, formally recognizes principals for all they do. Read the proclamation. Hopefully, more states will formally recognize principals in this way.
How do you think Principal Appreciation Week should be celebrated?
Promote Reading Aloud at Your School
For three years, NAESP has been promoting reading aloud to students through the its annual Principal's Read Aloud Award program.
Check out the five nominated books and vote for the one you think should be honored with the award. Voting has been extended to Friday, Jan. 16. There will be a presentation to the winning author in April 2009 during NAESP's Annual Convention and Exposition in New Orleans.
The National Principals Resource Center offers all five titles at reasonable rates—buy them for your school library if you don't already have them. Don't miss out on this opportunity to offer your students another avenue to improving reading skills!
Obama Nominates Next U.S. Education Secretary
President-elect Barack Obama has tapped Chicago Public Schools executive Arne Duncan as the next U.S. education secretary. For the past seven years, Duncan has served as superintendent of the nation's third largest school system. Before that, he was the deputy chief of staff for the Chicago public school system.
Duncan's stances on education transformation suggest that at the federal policy level America's schools are in for much-needed change over the coming months and years. How do you feel about having a former superintendent as the next head of the U.S. Department of Education? What are your hopes for this next era in education?
Share Your Best Advice
The My Two Cents question for this month is: What's the best piece of professional advice you've received from a peer or mentor, and how have you applied it in your career?
In addition to the responses published in the January/February issue of Principal, here's what some of your colleagues have shared with us:
When someone makes a quick request in the hall or while you are walking with someone, your response should be "Let me think about that and I will get back to you." With that response each time, I found I thought about what was our mission, did this align with our goals, and did we need to make a quick decision that was not an emergency. Interestingly, my staff appreciated the time I took and respected my decision when we discussed the rationale!
Nancy S. FrenettePrincipal Braintree Elementary SchoolBraintree, Vermont
Every principal should allocate a certain amount of time—whether it's 8, 12, or 15 hours a day—that they will normally spend doing their work. And when that time is up, leave and enjoy home, family, or other activities. If you do, you will find that you tend to be more energetic, prioritize your work flow, minimize your distractions, and accomplish more over time. I have followed this principle every day of my life as a principal.
Jim BaldwinPrincipalCentre Ridge Elementary SchoolCentreville, Virginia
Add to the conversation by offering your best advice with fellow principals.
Stop Making Assumptions!
In the latest edition of Speaking Out, the author argues that educators should not disenfranchise their students—even those labeled "at-risk." Take a look at the article and let us know what you think.
Do you agree that many educators' assumptions about, and the labels given to, young students impede their ability to be effective in the classroom?
Do You Wiki?
I recently attended a technology conference that may have been one of the most valuable conferences I have ever attended. It opened my eyes to the trends and the future of technology in education. At my school, we are contemplating the innovative use of technology and even the idea of computers for each of our students.
I am interested in knowing what other middle-level principals are doing to prepare for the future of technology in their schools. Are you or your teachers using blogs, wikis, or podcasts? Are you using cell phones, PDAs, or other personal technology devices in class? Do you provide one-to-one computers (laptops)? Are you seeing improvements in engagement and achievement, or just in engagement?
How are principals using technology for professional development? Scott Schiller is assistant principal of Powell Middle School in Powell, Wyoming.
Middle-Level Series
For the next few weeks, the Principals' Office will feature a middle-level blog series, focusing on issues that especially impact students at the middle level, but that are also significant to all K-8 leaders. The first issue is bullying.
When Is It Teasing and When Is It Bullying?
If you lead a middle school that is similar to the one in which I am principal, you may often hear a student in your office say, "I was only teasing/kidding/playing!" Sometimes the statement may be true, but more often than not the student really has been participating in the age-old activity of bullying.
Parents defend their bullying child by saying that he or she could never bully, that the other child may be jealous, or they may say, "boys will be boys." Some of these parents were bullies as children.
But, what exactly is bullying? Is it a one-time event? Is it only physical? Or can it include verbal and social actions?
At our school, we continue to deal with kids who are bullies and we are taking a schoolwide approach to attacking the problem. First, we advertise our "no tolerance of bullying" policy to our kids and parents. Second, our character education program (Schools of FISH!) is taught each day with emphasis on treatment of others. Third, we have initiated a video-vignette program called Stories of Us that graphically records a long-term bullying scenario. Our counselor shows clips of the progressively intense bully episode and then follows with classroom discussions. Finally, we come down aggressively on violators.
Despite our best intentions, we continue to have problems with bullies because some parents cannot tell us who is bullying their child, other parents will do anything to deflect the blame toward their child, and bullying works for bullies!
What are you doing with your students? I'd love to know.
Mark Terry is principal of Eubanks Intermediate School in Southlake, Texas, and is the Middle-Level Foundation Member on NAESP's Board of Directors.
What Does Election Day Look Like in Your School?
During the past few months, if not the past year, elementary and middle schools across the country have discussed the 2008 presidential election to various degrees. We've received e-mails about the different ways in which the election process has been taught in a number schools. For example, last spring a principal in Pennsylvania tied in NAESP's 2008 Principals Read Aloud Award with primary election day by having her students vote for their favorite book.
And in Atlanta, a debate class at Ron Clark Academy came up with this get-out-the-vote song whose lyrics include the issues discussed by both presidential candidates.
What has your school done to teach students about the election process? What creative activities have your students participated in leading up to this historic Election Day?

Questions and Answers
Got a question about the 2014 Easton MAKO Fastpitch Softball Bat: FP14MKY? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
We bought this bat for my 10 year old and it got dented the first week of practice. Is that normal for this bat? Does Easton have a warranty for that
The 2014 Easton MAKO: FP14MKY (Fastpitch) does have a full 12 month manufacturers warranty. However, this model should not have dented so quickly, and therefore, would be covered underneath the warranty.
I saw the price of ~$35 and thought it must be a mistake, got home and realized I bought the fastpitch youth softball bat in 28/17 instead of the baseball bat. Would this still be acceptable for a 7 year old that's a little over 50lbs?
Unfortunately, the 2014 Easton MAKO (FP14MKY) is not legal for youth baseball. Please utilize our free return label so we can get you a correct bat.
Why is it so cheap? I looked at the same bat at Dick's Sporting Goods for 300 some dollars! Is it good for high school ball?
The 2014 Easton MAKO (FP14MKY) Fastpitch is a youth model for a younger player. The bat you saw was probably the 2014 Easton MAKO (FP14MK) Fastpitch which is the adult model and is $349.99.
Product Description
New for 2014! One of the most important things a youth fastpitch bat can do for a young player is inspire confidence. That's exactly what the new Mako drop 11 bat from Easton sets out to accomplish. This softball bat features the same graphics as Easton's adult fastpitch Mako so that the youth player can swing what the big girls swing. The idea behind the Mako is for players to gain power from increasing their swing speed. This is accomplished through a hyper-lightweight length to weight ratio and a balanced swing weight. The Mako also has an extremely low M.O.I. (Moment of Inertia) to increase control and the ease in which players can get their bat around. The Mako features a one-piece alloy construction that is designed to provide fantastic performance and durability. If you want your slugger to experience true power, let them step into the batters box with the new Mako fastpitch bat from Easton! Easton: Engineered for Glory! The Mako is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by Easton's exclusive 12 Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Wood Blinds
When most people picture window blinds for almost any room in their home, they think of the classic wood blind. Horizontal wood blinds are an extra touch of comfort and character for any room. With this in mind Select Blinds has worked hard to ensure we offer the widest selection of wood blinds to match any room's décor.
Wood blinds are made of natural hard woods like basswood and American hard woods. This makes them very durable, and perfect for most any window. If you want the look of wood blinds but want to hang them in a location that just doesn't work for natural wood blinds, faux wood blinds are a very attractive choice. They offer their own unique set of benefits and can often times be made to look very much like natural wood blinds that you may already have in your house.
The Colors
The first step in achieving the overall desired look of a room, is the color. The right color choice can either make your blinds match and complement the décor of the room, or it can cause it to clash and look out of place. In terms of color, most blinds can be put in one of two categories, whites or stains. White window blinds are not just pure white, they can range from super bright white to more subdued almond or ivory hues. When it comes to stains, your color options truly blossom. You can choose the more traditional look for your blinds, with stains like the cherry, mahogany, and ash, or you can pick something a little different, with the distressed and weathered looking wood slats.
With a full house of windows you are bound to need blinds of different sizes. Select Blinds has thought of this and has tried to make sure we have matching colors in the various sizes. This lets you keep a more consistent look in your décor, and still have your desired blinds in every window. We offer matching colors in the designer basswood horizontal wood blinds in 1", 2", and 2 1/2" slats. This is really a great way to color coordinate your room, in the event that you have windows and doors that you want to cover with same horizontal blinds. We also provide, in many collections, matching looks in vertical blinds, to keep a consistent feel in your home décor.
The Options
All horizontal window blinds are raised and lowered with some type of lift system. The standard type of lift for blinds consists of a small cord being run from top to bottom of the blind going through a small hole in each slat. There is also the option to have what is called the "no holes privacy" option. The "no holes privacy" uses hidden ladders attached behind the slats. This keeps the slats a solid piece of wood, helping with insulation and light filtering.
If you're specifically looking for Light filtering options, and don't want to go with the "no holes privacy" option, you might like the look of adding cloth tape to your blinds. With the cloth tape, the blinds are made with the standard ladders, but then the ladders are covered with decorative cloth tape. This is also a great way to add extra color coordination to your blinds. Select Blinds offers many of the same coordinating tape options in our mini blinds, to make sure you don't have to worry about one room not matching another.
If you have a window that is far out of reach, or just inconvenient to get to, you will definitely want to check out the motorized tilt option. This is a simple motor that gets attached to the blinds, allowing you to control them with a small remote control.
The customization options extend to every part of our wood blinds, including the pieces that are not actually blinds. Select Blinds has many options of upgraded valances to attach to your window blinds, giving them that extra touch of class. The upgraded valances can vary with the type and size of the blinds, ranging from a 3" valance on most of our two inch blinds, to an elegant 5" crown valance on our 2 1/2" signature wood blinds.
Please enjoy yourself as you browse through the Select Blinds line of custom wood window blinds. We are confident that you will find the solution to your window treatment needs. The options that have been made available on modern wood blinds are nothing short of amazing.

Fraternity's Food Drive Nets 1,500 Pounds for Local Food Pantry
Lambda Chi Alpha Chapters Around the USA Collecting Food
November 18, 2013
Lambda Chi Alpha members, from the left, Frank Ellington, Noah Harris and Jordan Steinke sort through the group's haul of canned goods and other nonperishable items, which they later delivered to Your Father's Kitchen food pantry.
A Wilmington College fraternity collected some 1,500 pounds of canned goods and other nonperishable food items from local residents last Saturday (Nov. 16) in its annual fall food drive.
Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity donated three-quarters-of-a-ton of items to Sugartree Ministries' Your Father's Kitchen food pantry. This year's haul of nonperishables eclipsed the group's 2012 food drive total by more than 400 pounds.
The local chapter and all affiliates of the national fraternity are participating in this fall's annual service project. Last year, Lambda Chi chapters collected 1.5 million pounds of items across the country. Feeding America is its corporate sponsor.
"We wish to thank all those that provided canned goods and other items for our food drive in support of Your Father's Kitchen," said fraternity vice president Noah Harris.
Also that day, Lambda Chi Alpha members assisted Mary Lou Holdren in setting up her well known holiday display of Disney characters that she has hand-painted over the years. This Christmas season will mark her 21st year in presenting the Randolph Street display for area children.

Resurrection—the physical reality, not the metaphorical interpretation—puts everything we imagine about heaven to the test. My new book, Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination With the Afterlife, argues that while 80 percent of Americans say they believe in heaven, few of us have the slightest clue about what we mean.Then she uses polling data to show that less Americans believe in Resurrection of our bodies to show we can't know for sure anything. I didn't know that truth was up for a vote.
But, it gets worse. She calls Jesus "typically cranky."
Resurrection presented credibility problems from the outset. Who, the Sadducees taunted Jesus, does the man who married seven wives in succession reside with in heaven? The subtext of their teasing is obvious: if the resurrection is true, as Jesus promised, then in heaven you must have your wife, and all the things that go along with wives: sex, arguments, dinner. Jesus responds in a typically cranky way: "You just don't get it," he says (my paraphrase). "You are wrong," he said in Matthew's Gospel, "because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God."She goes on to say that having an immortal soul, and not resurrection of the body, is "more reasonable".
Ultimately her article, and her book, come down to this - you can't explain the afterlife. Well, even if she was a believer, she couldn't explain it, none of us can.
But, that is no reason to through orthodox Christian beliefs, Sacred Scripture, the power of God, and the life of Jesus under the bus.
Of course, that kind of narrative probably won't sell as many books. This is proved by the even more useless article - "Can Science Explain Heaven?" - I wonder what the answer is...maybe you will have to buy the book to find out...

Starfires win wild softball game with Raiders
South Adams outlasted Southern Wells, outscoring the host Raiders 7-1 over the final three innings and posted its first varsity softball win of the season Monday night with a 17-11 victory.
The contest included 28 hits (18 by South Adams) and 12 errors (eight by South Adams).
"In ten years of coaching softball, this might have been the sloppiest game I have witnessed,†South Adams coach Jessie O'Dell commented. "There were many opportunities for our kids to make plays and we made many mistakes and errors, but we made enough plays to win. I thought our kids did a good job of fighting through all of the mistakes and pulling out the victory.â€

I love the new look of the blog- it looks great! I loved your trip to NYC and all the crafty places you went, that was so fun!
Have a fun and energizing last bit to your summer!

They are a great bunch! And they are from a bunch of different places. The jungle/animal print is by Alexander Henry, the brown circles and the similar green circles are from Riley Blake, the big dot/circles is from Freebird by Moda, the gray circles with green outline is Modern Meadow by Joel Dewberry, the alphabet print is from Little House by Free Spirit fabrics. The rest I no longer have the selvage edge for, but if there are any others in particular you are interested in I will try to track them down!
Gorgeous quilt that you are working on!ReplyDelete
Had to laugh at the last part of your post...ah 7 year olds..they do say the funniest things!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Discipline in Europe is achieved by getting to the root of the problem and in this case the class is caught misbehaving while the teacher is away. When she returns she finds the girls fingering themselves and the guys fondling them. It later becomes ...

It's guys against girls in a friendly game of soccer. Very friendly indeed... with no goal posts, the girls decide to take off their tops to use their shirts as goal limits, and the winner gets a one-way ticket to gangbang central.
This is one class that understands the decency of sex because they aren't shy to let it be known how horny they are. When the Gym instructor leaves for a short period of time, the class breaks into a full blown fuck session!!!

....or not in this case. One of my UPS' overloaded with perfect timing on Thursday night, taking the Web Server and the Citrix farm with it. So we had 4 days of downtime on the VLE. But it could of been worse, it could of been coming up to GCSE exams.
Now I'd like to fix this properly, I really would. But the particular place we've chosen to install this server rack has some issues with power distribution. Basically even if I did sort out the UPS I would have no where to run power

Open The Door To Bringing Linked Data To Real-World Projects
Linked Data: Structured Data on the Web is now available in a soft-cover edition. The book, authored by David Wood, Marsha Zaidman, Luke Ruth, and Michael Hausenblas, and with a forward by Tim Berners-Lee, aims to give mainstream developers without previous experience with Linked Data practical techniques for integrating it into real-world projects, focusing on languages with which they're likely to be familiar, such as JavaScript and Python.
Berners-Lee's forward gets the ball rolling in a big way, making the case for Linked Data and its critical importance in the web ecosystem:"The Web of hypertext-linked documents is complemented by the very powerful Linked Web of Data. Why linked? Well, think of how the value of a Web page is very much a function of what it links to, as well as the inherent value of the information within the Web page. So it is — in a way even more so — also in the Semantic Web of Linked Data. The data itself is valuable, but the links to other data make it much more so."
The topic has clearly struck a nerve, Wood believes, noting that today we are "at a point where structured data on the web is getting tremendous play," from Google's Knowledge Graph to the Facebook Open Graph protocol, to the growing use of the schema.org vocabulary, to data still growing exponentially in the Linked Open Data Project, and more. "The industry is ready to talk about data and data processing in a way it never has been before," he continues. There's growing realization that Linked Data fits in with and nicely complements technologies in the data science realm, such as machine learning algorithms and Hadoop, such that "you can suddenly build things you never could before with a tiny team, and that's pretty cool….No technology is sufficient in and of itself but combine them and you can do really powerful things."

Blast Agency are a design consultancy specialising in brand identity and brand communications. I especially love the work that they did for "Curious" and the creative paper range, due to their simple yet creative approach - Seven A5 cards each with a uniquely drawn letter that spelt out "Curious". A great example demonstrating the main principles in design and creative typography.

After the Holocaust, the words Never Again sounded loudly as leaders pledged never again to remain silent in the face of mass extermination. But Never Again became Over and Over Again. The Holocaust was followed by genocides in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda, Guatemala, East Timor, Darfur, and in many other places. Never Again must mean Never.
How can you make a difference? Here are eight simple ways you can help to create a world without genocide:
1. Be Present:
Stay informed and share information with others about ongoing genocides.
2. Volunteer:
Volunteer with an anti-genocide or humanitarian organization aligned with your personal convictions.
3. Be an Advocate:
Sign a petition, write a letter, or make a phone call! Your elected officials need to know that you care. Find your representatives.
4. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:
Look for "fair trade" and "conflict free" products.
5. Put Your Hands to Work:
Like to knit or crochet? You can make reusable cotton bandages for humanitarian organizations like International Aid.
6. Tell the Story:
Organizing an educational program in your community is a great way to raise awareness!
7. Organize or Participate:
Organize or participate in a medical, clothing, or food drive.
8. Find a Partner:
Many organizations provide free, easy-to-use toolkits. A great example is United to End Genocide, where you can learn more about easy ways to get involved.
