We are proud to invite you to the first ever Indy civic hackathon May 31st in support of the National Day of Civic Hacking. We invite entrepreneurs, developers, designers, government representatives and citizens who are passionate about improving our community to attend this free event. IndyCivicHack is a one-day event driven by passionate and engaged citizens given the opportunity to explore and drive solutions using public data. Participants are called on to apply existing technologies or build new applications using public data. We have a fun day of open data, announcements, networking, coding, giveaways and more planned.
We plan to start the day around 10am and continue the fun into the evening. Save the date on your calandar!
Paul Baltzell - CIO State of Indiana: 10:20 am
Congresswoman Susan W Brooks: 10:30 am
The winning solutions will take home a variety of prizes including:
Win the trash challenge and take home an extra prize of 4 Indianapolis Colts Suite tickets to the game on October 19th
1 in 6 hoosiers fight hunger everyday. While we are hacking for change lets take this opportunity to help fight hunger in our community. Bring a nonperishable food item (not mandantory to participate)! For every two non perishable food items you bring you will be given a raffle ticket to enter our raffle prize drawing. We will be giving away some fun swag but most of all you will be helping us all do our part to help feed the hungry in Indy. All donations will be taken to a local food shelter. We will be raffling off:
The Problem: Last year (2013), the MAC handled over 176,000 calls, resulting in nearly 57,000 requests for service and nearly 43,000 requests for information. These information calls account for 18% of all calls the MAC took in 2013, with trash information calls alone accounting for more than 11% of the MAC's total volume last year. The MAC is looking to decrease/eliminate these trash calls in an effort to reduce cost, improve customer service, and reallocate resources in a more effective and efficient way.Trash information calls typically consist of questions along the lines of: "what day is my trash picked up?"; "is my trash going to be picked up today?" (these calls increase around holidays and bad weather); and "what can/can't I put out on my heavy trash day?"
Potential Soultions: Innovative ideas dont have boundaries, however here are a few ideas to get you started:
INDOT and the Indiana State Police have data on current accidents and tickets they have released for the first time. They would like your help to answer a few key questions through visual representation of this information and potential MASHUPS with other data sets. These questions include:
Data sets to be utilized:
Potential Solutions
We have sourced a number of local and state data sets that we would like to see what you can do with them. These include pothole, accident, meaningful use, and more. Here are just a few of these data sets available on our event community open data portal
We invite you to submit data sets, unlock data, point participants towards data sets and more. Connecting innovators with civic data has already produced billions of dollars in benefit to communities (e.g., GIS data driving GPS inovation). Our goal is to highlight these data sets but we need your help to do so.
Also, here are a few places to find additional open data sets

Washington, DC – U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, met Monday with Dr. Jane Goodall to discuss the contribution of tropical forest destruction to carbon in the atmosphere and how tropical forest preservation can help offset the United States' carbon footprint. Deforestation accounts for some 20% of global carbon emissions when global emissions are calculated including changes in land use and forestry.
Dr. Goodall is a scientist known for her research relating to chimpanzees, as well as a global conservationist, an author of many books, a Dame of the British Empire, and a United Nations Messenger of Peace.

Bought two of these in different sizes. You definitely can't find a better price anywhere. These work great in the frying pan or for just scraping.
Pamela M. from Scoopz Posted on 11/08/2014
This my go to spatula from cooking scrambled eggs to getting the last bit of some thing out of a jar. You can't beat the quality either I've bought other brands and handle will snap off after a year of use. My only gripe with these is the white head which will discolor after a time.
Matthew T. Posted on 11/04/2014
These Vollrath spatulas are perfect. It is heat resistant to 500 degrees F and it does not stain (in my experience). They also come in different sizes and handle designs, though I recommend this one because it grips really well. Finally, the head and handle are secured together so food/bacteria cannot get in between and cause health problems.
John W. from JW Cakes Posted on 11/02/2014
These spatula's are great, we use these all of the time in our café, they are very very durable, and last way longer than the cheaper versions!!!!
Jeff B. Posted on 08/27/2014
I make my own spaghetti sauce, and red enchilada sauce. I make large batches and freeze individual portions. This spatula is perfect for both of these as I use quite large pots and they both like to spit as they boil. The size gives me the ability to stir these sauces without getting burned. I save these two specially for these recipes. Thanks for making them available.
Debra M. Posted on 07/15/2014
Very sturdy, heat resistant, and very durable! This size is perfect to use when working with bigger bowls, will definitely recommend this to anyone! Love these spatulas
Manuel K. from Kedbys Kreations & Party Rental Posted on 05/08/2014
These vollrath silicone spatulas are very nice. They are heavy and seem to last for a very very long time. They also do not melt easily.
Jennifer W. from Bar Symon Posted on 04/09/2014
I've been using this product for many years now. This is one of the cheapest places I've found it. Great spatula, durable, withstands the heat and doesn't stain. Very happy
Jamie W. Posted on 04/06/2014
Again this is the best brand for Silcone Spatulas. They are easy to clean and they do not burn easily. We use these a lot for our omelet station and they are always around high heat.
Debbie L. from Rick's Diner & Catering Posted on 03/18/2014
This is a great spatula! I love it for so many things. It was a great deal too! It also ships really, really fast too!
Denishia W. Posted on 01/29/2014
Great price on a great spatula. Much more heavy duty to the Rubbermaid ones I can get locally. I have been skeptical of high heat spatulas form the start but these really hold up well.
Matthew S. Posted on 12/06/2013
Great spatula for toffee and chocolate use. sturdy with a great handle and easy to clean and break chocolate off. Certainly a great addition to our kitchen utensils.
Ryan N. from Chocolate Pizza Company Posted on 10/04/2013
This spatua is great for mixing large quantity cake batter or making custard. Just becareful to not use it with food coloring as it can stain the head.
Arunwong O. Posted on 07/21/2013
Vollrath delivers on quality once again. These spatulas are exactly as described. Very heavy duty feel in hand. Well constructed, and functions great. I can see these lasting a long time and not chipping, cracking, melting, or coming apart any time soon. Definitely worth the extra investment over less expensive models. Highly recommended.
Michael H. Posted on 02/24/2013
this silicone spatula is very reliable and i have several of them where i work. i also have some at home and they all work great. they are very durable
Dan W. Posted on 11/13/2012
These work great and they are much cheaper than where we were getting them before. They are nice and sturdy. They allow us to stir our chocolate thoroughly.
Steven J. from RMCF Posted on 09/11/2012
These are the perfect spatula. Great weight, they feel balanced in the hand, neither the handle nor scraper melt under high heat, maintenance free, years of use ahead of them, and they're cheap! Buy one of each size and replace the spatulas you have.
Sam M. Posted on 07/12/2012
First of all, let me say that this is a great item--it is sturdy, cleans up well, and takes the heat. But... Home users beware: this is really big. As a home user, I honestly find it too big to be practical. Better suited for professional use.
William C. Posted on 05/06/2011
I lOVE THESE SPATULAS! As I have said before, they withstand the heat, are attractive, and are one solid piece which won't harbor any mold under the handle.

Source: LSU Sports Department
OXFORD, Miss. - The No. 10 LSU softball team blasted four home runs and used another Rachele Fico gem in the circle to claim a 9-1 six-inning victory over Ole Miss Wednesday in a rare non-conference meeting at the Ole Miss Complex.
LSU's (5-1) four homers in a game were the most since the Tigers connected for a quartet of long balls against Fordham on Feb. 26, 2011 at the Cathedral City Classic in Palm Springs, Calif. Seven of LSU's eight RBIs from Lauren Houston, Kellsi Kloss, Sandra Simmons and Tammy Wray came via the home run.
Houston turned in a 2-for-2 performance with two RBIs, while Wray also added two hits and equaled her career-best with three RBIs.

Police searching for alleged bank robber
Updated On: Nov 26 2013 07:13:26 PM EST
A man ran off with an undisclosed amount of money from the Maple Avenue branch of the Claremont Savings Bank on Tuesday morning.
Officers said the robbery happened at about 10:40 a.m.
Officers described the alleged robber as a white man. He was wearing a winter hat and mask. Police did not indicate the man showed any kind of weapon.
Police said after the robbery, the man fled to the area of Moody Park where investigators believe he got into a car.
Later, a caller told police a small, four-door, gray or silver SUV had passed them on Maple Avenue heading toward Claremont Junction. Police believe the suspect may have been inside that car.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 603-542-9538.

Illustrate an Epic Space Battle
When you tackle any illustration, it's best to first come up with a theme or storyline. Here I'm going to share with you my entire workflow for generating an illustration of a space battle. This will build upon the initial idea of producing strong conceptual design of unique spacecraft; in this instance drawing space capital ships ranging from small to large frigates and large interceptors to destroyers, carriers and battle cruisers.

Why does my journal (or friends view) suddenly require me to scroll?
Generally this happens when someone posts a large image. If the page in question has no images in any of the posts on it then there is most likely either a string of text with no breaks that is too long. Another possibility is that someone has posted malformed HTML, likely in the form of an online quiz result in the view you're looking at

Schedule your defense and presentation. (If you want to graduate in May, you must finish your defense and presentation before March 25.)
The Preliminary Sketch
(Due at the end of the Music Research Class)
At the end of the Music Research Class you will be expected to submit a preliminary sketch of the research project you wish to pursue and to identify a prospective advisor and an alternate from the Longwood Music Faculty. Points to be included in the sketch are the following:
- Your name, address, school division, current teaching responsibilities, future teaching responsibilities,
- Indication of whether you will enroll in "Thesis" or "Teacher Research,"
- Description of the issue/topic you wish to address (Narrative, approximately 1 page in length),
- Justification. Why you think this is an important topic for a research project (Narrative, approximately 1/2 page in length),
- Importance of the topic to you, personally (Narrative, approximately 1/2 page),
- Your expectations for outcomes,
- First and second choice for advisor for this topic.
The Proposal
(Due by January 20th)
You will submit to the research committee a formal proposal for your research project.
As stated in the current LU Graduate Catalogue, "The thesis or teacher research proposal will summarize the proposed study and give research methodology or critical framework for the study. The thesis proposal is formulated by the student in consultation with an advisor and submitted to the student's thesis [or teacher research] committee. The student's thesis [or teacher research] committee will be composed of three graduate faculty members; adjunct faculty will not serve on this committee. The Longwood University Human and Animal Subjects Research Review committee must approve the proposal prior to commencement of the research."
The proposal must contain the following:
- A title page with a working title for the project and the following words:
"A Proposal for Research to be Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Music at Longwood University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Science in Education."
The title page should also include your name and school division, whether you have selected the Thesis or Teacher Research option, the date, and blanks for the signatures of your advisor and the committee members.
- A narrative body that includes the following:
- A description of the project - statement and scope of the study, its limitations - with a clear outline of the research method,
- A hypothesis - such preliminary findings as are relevant, as well as expected outcomes,
- A justification of the project, explaining the ways in which it will add to the current body,
- An anticipated organization of the final document,
- A preliminary survey of the literature regarding your topic.
- A Bibliography (formatted according to the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers).
When the proposal is approved and signed by all members of the committee, a copy of the title/signature page must be filed with the Department of Music Office.
For general requirements on the thesis and/or teacher research, consult the "Academic Regulations" section of the Graduate Catalogue.
Choosing the Thesis or the Teacher Research
Your research, if focusing on a musical topic, will culminate in a Thesis. If focusing on a project that involves a classroom or music students, it will most likely culminate in the Collaborative Research.
In collaboration with the advisor, the student will choose a musical topic that is appropriate for this level of research. Projects may range from analysis of scores to study of a particular stylistic convention, to review of critical analysis, to an analysis of performance issues, etc.
Teacher Research
In collaboration with the advisor, the student will choose a topic relevant to teaching or managing situations in the schools, will create surveys or other tools for collecting data, will collect and analyze the data, and will formulate conclusions. Topics should be of importance in addressing current issues related to music in the schools, and the results should have the potential to be useful to the researcher and to other educators.
Defense or Public Presentation of the research
The student will make a presentation to the research committee, 30-40 minutes in length. This presentation may be open to the public or a few invited guests, if the student wishes.
Teacher Research
The student will present a lecture demonstration, 40-60 minutes in length, in a public forum. The research committee must be present.

A Manna Mindset
"A Manna Mindset"
Kathy Mathiason, RScP
"Give us today our daily bread." Matthew 6:11
The story in the Bible tells of how in ancient days God fed his people with manna: bread from heaven that appeared each morning with the dawn. Each day, the people would only gather enough for that day, because any excess would rot overnight. The act of hoarding was not only prohibited by the law but also made impossible by the conditions. Jesus took this lesson and taught through the Lord's Prayer for us to pray for our "daily bread." We are to trust that God will provide for us our "daily bread." That which is needed for that particular day.
"Daily bread" or my human needs are that which God provides for me on a daily basis. When I first started to practice my Manna Mindset, there appeared to be little or no security in it. My first step was to be grateful each and every day knowing that my needs are being taken care of by that one power I call God. I started a practice of getting up each morning saying, "Let's do it again, God!" Again, when learning to live with this Manna mindset I had a tendency to be frightened and fearful. The more I practiced this daily spiritual practice the more joyful my life became.
Each day I pray for that "bread" (or money for the mortgage, electric bill, phone bill, etc.) and know that what is needed is provided and I am always taken care of by God. Each day I am thankful and grateful for what has been given to me for that day. Practicing this Manna mindset has given me freedom. Freedom to live my life one day at a time. Freedom not only to have enough but to know that I am enough; I have freedom to express my true authentic self.
So not only are my physical needs being met, but also my spiritual needs. Each day I ask for and receive spiritual nourishment and know that God provides me with enough love, strength and wisdom to continue my spiritual journey.
Ask, think and receive. And so it is.
Kathy Mathiason is a Practitioner at the Rio Grande Center For Spiritual Living, Albuquerque, NM 87107

UPDATE: Mobile County Sheriff's deputies arrested Jamario Houston 6 days after he was profiled on FOX10 News Fugitive Files. Houston is the 594th suspect to be arrested after appearing on Fugitive Files.
Social media gets the credit for our latest arrest on FOX10 News Fugitive Files. Our suspect was in custody right after he appeared on Twitter and Facebook.
Jamario Houston, who has a street name of "Cutthroat Mane" is accused of robbery and assault for a crime that happened on Sunday, February 2, 2014 in the 3000 block of Dauphin Street.
"The victim was kind enough to give the suspect a ride to a location and once they reached the location, the suspect, Mr. Jamario Houston, armed himself with a weapon and demanded the victim's property. Once the victim refused, he shot him and left the scene," said Mobile Police Officer Terence Perkins.
Houston is 19 years old, 5 foot 6 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds. If you know where to find him, call the FOX10 News Fugitive Files/Crimestoppers Hotline at 251-208-7000.
While he's only 19, Houston has a prior arrest record that already includes assault, robbery, discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling and resisting arrest. If you've seen him, turn him in.

About me: NW13-20 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), dark gray- blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW/DSPW.
I purchased this to pamper my skin that turns dry in the winter. I keep it next to my bed and apply on my cheeks every other night. I do feel more hydrated and my skin does seem more balanced. I have not broken out from this product either. So all in all, it's not bad... I guess I was expecting a more dramatic moisture effect, seeing as how I don't typically buy or wear moisturizers. I've only worn it for about two weeks, so hopefully I will see a bigger impact over time.

This is my skin's best friend forever. It is a very creamy and rich moisturizing mask that works as promised. I apply a thick layer to my face first thing after every shower (esp. in Fall/Winter) and let it sink in while I am applying body lotion and dressing up. I take the excess off with a moistened cotton pad (DHC Silky Cotton works a treat, it is very resistant). Then I proceed with the rest of my skin care routine. Without fail it gives me a moisturized, plumbed up and youthful looking skin. It is full of good ingredients for my skin (e.g. olive, borage seed and evening primrose oils, phospholipids, vitamins C and E, sodium hyaluronate), is very soothing, never irritating and costs a very reasonable $21 for a 4 oz. tube. What is not to love?
Bottom line: LOVE. Have repurchased, will repurchase, always.

YUK! I cannot stand this stuff! It leaves a terrible waxy film behind (on my face anyhow) and the ingredient list is just terrible, which is ironic considering she's the go-to for expert advice on ingredients. And the waxy film issue wasn't even the worst part by far... This is also the only product I have ever used/tried in my 25+ years of cosmetic and facial treatment usage that has ever left me with a super bad reaction issue. While I have tried products that aggravated my skin nothing has been as bad as this - my skin was really itchy (to the point I had to actively force myself to stop scratching it!), which lasted about 24 hrs. I figure its got something to do with the 20 thousand unnecessary ingredients in this stuff. This mask was so bad that it just re-affirmed my suspicions that Paula's website filters reviews (something I considered to be true for a while now bc everything is rated so highly when I know personally and from friends there are some crappy products in her line).
Paula's choice products are always very hit and miss for me; the one's that are good are amazing but when they are bad they are REALLY bad. This one is horrible. I wish I could give it zero stars, for realz. But since I can't, I will just warn people with sensitive and super dry skin to stay far away from this product.

I got married last year and had to start looking presentable at home:P I have a dryer skin type and have been known to layer castor oil and vaseline on my face at night sometimes mixed with night creams. during the day when at home I would use a night cream as well. that being said, most night creams make your skin shiny and make pores look bigger..even when I would use a tiny bit. in comes this mask. for some reason it goes on matte even when u pack it on quite a bit. can't explain how it works but it still manages to hydrate..my skin drinks this up totally! so i love this for during the day. I did not use it as a mask but as a daily/night moisturizer. the only gripe I have is that I would not suggest this for under makeup use if your skin is like mine and a little dry. this would make my sunscreen/makeup ball up. i tried letting it set, exfoliating etc. but guess it wasn't meant to be for myself. i give this good value for price because i feel like it's chalk full of great ingredients and i think one tube lasted me a year:O
keep it up paula, just one suggestion can u start bringing more products in 100ml versions for ppl who travel alot?? thanks:)

(This line can be tricky to shop for because of the repetitivenous names. There is a retinol serum in similiar red packaging. Just check the front labels.)
I liked this mask a lot more than her mask for oily skin despite my skin being oily at that time. This only has one mask like ingredient wich is hectorite but it still turned to a slightly dry touch while moisturizing my skin. It is thick yet on my face it went on clear. This does have a lot of ingredients that 'Paula' generally recommends.

I bought this along with the Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate with Retinol, because my skin was so dehydrated that I ended up with temporary wrinkles. I felt really self-concious about it and none of my regular skincare items seems to work. Even face masks and extra layers of moisturiser failed. My skin was unable to absorb anything and I was really desperate.
I heard a lot of good things about Paula's Choice and I initially wanted to buy the whole Skin Recovery Skin Care Set, but it's sold out in Europe and they won't get it back in stock for another few months according to the website, which ended p being a good thing because some of the products don't have great reviews and I like to stick to the ones with the best reviews.
That's how I ended up with the Skin Recovery Treatment Mask and the Skin Recovery Super Antioxidant Concentrate with Retinol. I use both products at night before going to bed. First I apply the Concentrate on my face, focusing especially on my cheeks and under eye area. Then I give it time to let it sink into my skin for a few minutes before applying the mask. You can use the mask as a 15minute mask or overnight mask and I've been using it as an overnight mask.
It's been almost 2 weeks now and my skin is pretty much back to normal. I'm super excited and I will try out more Paula's Choice products. The reason why I haven'T given it 5 stars yet, is because I want to see if it works this well during winter, when my skin is especially dry. I will definitely do an update and give 5 stars if it truely 100% deserves it.
But so far I am really impressed with it and I can recommend it to everyone who has dry skin.

I have dry skin prone to eczema and this mask has worked wonders for me. Keeps my skin super soft. I keep it on overnight and wake up to soft skin. I love the entire Paula's choice skin recovery line. Her products have done wonders for my skin.

Ouch! This burned like crazy and didn't stop burning. I had to wash my face again to get it all off--rinsing wasn't enough. Clearly not the product for me.

I have normal to slightly dry super sensitive skin (very mild rosacea) so I can only keep this on for a few hours at most (longer will cause flushing). It has a white creamy texture that basically dissolves into your skin and morphs into an oil and leaves an oil-like film on the skin. It rinses off easily. I do find this mask to be hydrating and softening. I use it once a week and haven't had any irritation or breakout issues.
I would repurchase again but I don't feel it's HG. For reference, I didn't like the other products in the Skin Recovery line - too heavy and dulling for my skin. I paid $19 for a 4 oz. tube.

I'm a PC fan. Been using the products for 10+ years. I've used every product in the Skin Recovery Line (the dry skin line) with the exception of the cleanser b/c I simply refuse to pay big bucks for something that is on my face <1min.
On with the review... Like almost everyone, I use this overnight. I do not wash it off. This product has great hydration. I particularly like it around my eyes. I just don't find it as calming as the Skin Recovery Moisturizer. The Skin Recovery moisturizer feels SO SOOTHING and nourishing. Like another reviewer said... sometimes this mask stings *just a tiny bit* on my cheeks (my most sensitive area) but the sensation doesn't last and it's not every time. While I prefer the Skin Recovery Moisturizer, I like that this mask is less than half the price of the Skin Recovery Moisturizer (that's why I bought it).
Even though I have bought this more than once over the years, I think this latest tube has convinced me not to buy it again. I'm going to try CeraVe's eye cream next I think.

AP Sports Writer
PHOENIX (AP) -- The Los Angeles Dodgers are headed to the desert, a trip that inevitably recalls the big brawl that erupted with the Arizona Diamondbacks in the last series between the two NL West rivals.
Players from both sides say that the blowup, while not forgotten, has been pushed aside in favor of the more pressing matter of competing for the West title.
"We've got more important things to worry about than buzzing somebody or fighting," Arizona outfielder Cody Ross said.
Some of the Dodgers vowed after the June 11 incident that it wasn't over. Maybe some sort of revenge will be extracted far down the road, but probably not in the three-game series that begins Monday night.
Of course, that can change in a heartbeat.
"Right now I'm not sitting here thinking about Arizona. It's not one of those cases," Dodgers reliever J.P. Howell said. "It's been like that for me before. In the past, you've had teams on your mind for weeks and months until you face them again. In this case, we got our tussling in and our fighting, so clean slate in my book. But if something pops off, it's just the way it goes."
Zach Greinke, the Dodgers pitcher on that fateful evening, starts Monday's series opener. Ian Kennedy, who drew a 10-game suspension after he hit two Yasiem Puig and Greinke with high inside pitches, triggering the melee, goes for Arizona on Tuesday.
Kennedy didn't want to talk about the significance of the matchup, calling it just another series.
It's a necessary attitude, Arizona catcher Miguel Montero said.
'It's not like this is our last series against them," he said. "We're playing them a lot so you've got to really move on. You can't even think about it. ... just play them like you play everybody else."
The bench-clearing fracas drew eight suspensions from Major League Baseball.
Howell and Los Angeles infielder Skip Schumaker were suspended for two games and Dodgers reliever Ronald Belisario, who proclimed at the time "it's not over yet, not at all," drew a one-game ban. Arizona's Eric Hinske got a five-game suspension, later reduced to one game after MLB officials said he hadn't thrown a punch after all. Hinske is no longer with the team.
Kennedy eventually dropped his appeal and served the 10 games.
Gibson and Dodgers manager Don Mattingly both were suspended for a game.
Before Sunday's game against Colorado, Gibson repeated that no one was throwing intentionally at anyone's head.
"I'll re-state this again," he said. "Anybody that thinks anybody would try to hit anybody in the head, it's an illogical assumption. I don't even say that there's one person in the major leagues that could or would actually do that. I mean, people pitch inside. They're going to today, they're going to tomorrow, they're going to the day after that. That's part of the game."
Of course, some players have very long memories. Retaliation could come months or even years from now.
"Certain players will hold grudges and you never know if they're going to get them a year down the road or two years down the road, you never know," Ross said, "but there's definitely no thought or no intention when they get here to do anything. I don't foresee anything."
The Dodgers, after a slow start, have climbed back into contention, taking advantage of Arizona's recent road struggles in what so far has been a week division, although the Diamondbacks have remained in first for some time and play 10 straight at home before the All-Star break.
Arizona swept three games over the Rockies while the Dodgers took two of three from San Francisco. That left the Dodgers alone in second place, 4

La ChaisePrice: $10,975.00
Design by Charles & Ray Eames, 1948.
Originally designed for a competition held by the New York Museum of Modern Art, La Chaise was inspired by the "Floating Figure" by sculptor Gaston Lachaise. La Chaise is a unique piece that is both elegant and encourages diverse sitting and reclining positions. The handiwork of Charles and Ray Eames, La Chaise has become an established icon of organic design.
Available in Lacquered White.
Standard Delivery is Curbside. White Glove service is available at a premium and must be requested at the time of order placement. Please contact our Sales Department for rates.
Material(s): Natural oak, polyurethane, steel
Dimensions: 34.5" H x 59" W x 34.753" D Seat Height: 19.25"
Designer: Charles + Ray Eames
A chair that looked like a potato chip. Another that resembled a "well-used first baseman's mitt." A folding screen that rippled...
With a grand sense of adventure, Charles and Ray Eames turned their curiosity and boundless enthusiasm into creations that established them as a truly great husband-and-wife design team. Their unique synergy led to a whole new look in furniture. Lean and modern. Playful and functional. Sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully simple. That was and is the "Eames look."
That look and their relationship with Herman Miller started with molded plywood chairs in the late 1940s and includes the world-renowned Eames lounge chair, now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.View other products by Charles + Ray Eames
Manufacturer: Vitra
Classic. Modern. Sustainable.
Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.View other products from Vitra

Why People React Differently to Panhandlers (Hard Times USA)
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/Pojoslaw
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
"I live my life under the Golden Rule," Bob told me, after I asked her why she gave a dollar to a man holding a "Please Help" sign. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Bob said she was living in a homeless shelter with her newborn son. She knew all about panhandling and how people "just don't understand." And so, she said, "I give when I can."
Bob was the first person I spoke to about her response to being asked for help. I observed and talked to numerous people in San Francisco near City Hall (where a large number of homeless people populate) and Powell St. Bart Station (where panhandlers work the city's shopping center).
It is approximated that there are at least 10,000 homeless people living in San Francisco, and about one million in the United States, though these figures are most likely underestimated. Good portions of them resort to panhandling as a means of survival. And just as there are a variety of reasons people end up on the street, there are a variety of ways passersby react to their requests for money. Some people give to panhandlers. Some ignore them. And while some don't give, they acknowledge them with a smile or a "sorry."
Why do people react the way they do to panhandlers? While there are theories and studies concerning people's perception of those in poverty, perhaps the best way to find out how people perceive those asking for help is to ask them.
Like Bob, some people said they gave because they could identify with the panhandlers. They felt inclined to help because they were fortunate to be in a better financial position.
One woman said she gave because she knows anyone could fall into homelessness. "I feel sorry for them because I have kids, and someday they may be hungry and nobody gives to them," she said.
The woman said she has a lot of bills to pay, but gives anyway, "because maybe they are hungry or want a coffee. And I can buy one, and they can't."
A young man who gave also shared the sentiment that if you have more than others, you should give. "I never lie. If they ask me, 'Hey do you have a few bucks to spare?' and I do, I give," he said. "I think it's weird to lie to someone, especially if you have it and you're more well-off than they are."
For some who gave, other social factors played more of a role than poverty itself.
"I guess it depends on how much I identify with the person," said one young woman who gave money to an elderly woman. "If I see a woman, or a person with an animal, I could more easily imagine myself in their position and feel a personal connection to what they may be going through. If I can't feel a connection, it makes it easier to walk by and not be motivated to act."
Another woman said she typically doesn't give, but felt particularly sympathetic to the same elderly woman.
"She looked elderly and desperate. You know, I usually don't give if they look young and able-bodied, because I work hard for my money," she said, therefore granting this woman understanding of her misfortune — a misfortune, she believes, that can't happen to others who "work hard."
In fact, throughout my hours of observing people's reactions to both the elderly white woman and her black male friend panhandling outside of the subway station, not a single person gave money to the black man. (At the end of their panhandling session, the elderly woman gave him half of what she earned.)

Mithila, India

Mithila (Devnagri: मिथिला, mithilā Tirhuta: মিথিলা) is a proposed state in India, comprising the Maithili speaking region of North Bihar. Mithila is also known as Videha, Tirhut, Tirbhukti.
Mithila also refers to a city in Ancient India, the capital of the Videha Kingdom, located in modern-day Nepal. The name Mithila is also commonly used to refer to the Videha Kingdom itself, as well as to the modern-day territories that fall within the ancient boundaries of Videha. The city of Mithila has been identified as Janakpur in the Dhanusa district of Nepal.
The main economic activities of this region are agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery. Major crops include rice, wheat, pulses, moong, urad, arhar, bamboo, mustard, jute, maize, mango, lichi and bananas. Costly agro-products such as chili, coriander, turmeric, ginger and tobacco are also grown in the region. Makhan (water chestnut), Euryle ferox and litchi are almost unique to Mithila; other crops include medicinal and flowering plants.
Darbhanga is a primary medical center for Mithila and has sugar factories, a paper mill and a bicycle factory. It has a large railway station.
Islamic invasion[edit]
During the regime of Harasimha Deva, the last king of the dynasty, Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq invaded Mithila in 1323 and gained control over the territory. Tughluq handed over the management of Mithila to Pt. Kameshwar Thakur. Thus, the sovereign power of Mithila, became part of Delhi Sultanate, but continued to enjoy complete autonomy.[1]
Vidyapati (1352–1448), was a Maithili poet and Sanskrit scholar in the region. He was born in Village Bisfi of Madhubani. Folklore says that he was such a great devotee of Lord Shiva that the lord was really pleased with him. And once He (Shiva) decided to come to live in his house as a servant, Ugna. At several places in the region, Lord Shiva is still worshipped by this name. It is said that the lord in form of servant had imposed a condition on Vidyapati that he could not disclose identity of Lord Shiva to anyone or else He would go away. One day, When Vidyapati's wife was angry at her servant and started to beat Ugna, Vidyapati could not tolerate it and asked his wife to stop and disclosed identity of Ugna. Lord Shiva disappeared and was never seen again.
British rule[edit]
Maharaja Kameswar Singh was the last jamindar King of Mithila. The insurgency at Delhi in 1857, caused a grave concern to the English inhabitants, in Mithila. A revolutionary fervor began to permeate in the entire region.[1]
In 1908, 18-year old young Bengali revolutionary, Khudi Ram Bose, was hanged at Muzaffarpur for throwing a bomb at the carriage of Pringle Kennedy, who was actually mistaken for Kingsford, the District Judge of Muzaffarpur. After the independence of India in 1947, a memorial to this young revolutionary patriot was constructed at Muzaffrapur.
The historically dominant group of the region were the Maithil Brahmans who were both priests and rulers. In the colonial period, a number of them were zamindars. The most common surname (last names) of the Maithil Brahmans is Jha. Others include Mishra, Thakur, Chaudhary and several others.
Rivers and floods[edit]
Mithila has seven major rivers, Mahananda, Gandak, Kosi, Bagmati, Kamala, Balan, and the Budhi Gandak.[2] They flow from the Himalaya mountains in the north to the Ganges river in the south. These rivers regularly flood, depositing silt onto the farmlands and sometimes causing death or hardship. In the 1950s the Government of Bihar built high barriers on both banks, but these caused the rivers to silt up, which made them more prone to flooding.
On 18 August 2008 the Kosi embankment burst at Kusha in Nepal, near the border with India. The Kosi river inundated areas of Mithila that hadn't experienced floods in many decades.[3][4] 250 people died and 3 million people were forced from their homes.[5] More than 300,000 houses were destroyed and at least 340,000 hectares (840,000 acres) of crops were damaged.[5] Villagers in Mithila ate raw rice and flour mixed with polluted water. Hunger and disease were widespread. The Supaul district was the worst-hit; surging waters swamped 1,000 square kilometres (247,000 acres) of farmlands, destroying crops.[6]
Political support[edit]
- Bharatiya Janata Party
Several Bharatiya Janata Party leaders have supported the cause of a separate state of Mithila.
- BJP MP Kirti Azad from Darbhanga has organised dharnas and protests in support of Mithila.[7]
- Senior BJP leader, Tarakant Jha, present chairman of Bihar Legislative Council, has organised public rallies supporting Mithila.[8]
- Janata Dal (United)
Janata Dal (United) was the only party which supported the demand for statehood of Mithila during the 14th State assembly elections.
- In November 2011, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar also extended his support for the statehood of Mithila.[9][10]
- Shravan Chaudhary, JDU state president, has openly supported the demand.[11]

English Synonyms and Antonyms, by James Champlin Fernald
Injury (Latin in, not, and jus, juris, right, law) signifies primarily something done contrary to law or right; hence, something contrary to some standard of right or good; whatever reduces the value, utility, beauty, or desirableness of anything is an injury to that thing; of persons, whatever is so done as to operate adversely to one in his person, rights, property, or reputation is an injury; the word is especially used of whatever mars the integrity of the body or causes pain; as, when rescued from the wreck his injuries were found to be very slight. Injury is the general term including all the rest. Damage (Latin damnum, loss) is that which occasions loss to the possessor; hence, any impairment of value, often with the suggestion of fault on the part of the one causing it; damage reduces value, utility, or beauty; detriment (Latin deterere, to rub or wear away) is similar in meaning, but far milder. Detriment may affect value only; damage always affects real worth or utility; as a rule, the slightest use of an article by a purchaser operates to its detriment if again offered for sale, tho the article may have received not the slightest damage. Damage is partial; loss is properly absolute as far as it is predicated at all; the loss of a ship implies that it is gone beyond recovery; the loss of the rudder is a damage to the ship; but since the loss of a part still leaves a part, we may speak of a partial or a total loss. Evil commonly suggests suffering or sin, or both; as, the evils of poverty, the social evil. Harm is closely synonymous with injury; it may apply to body, mind, or estate, but always affects real worth, while injury may concern only estimated value. A hurt is an injury that causes pain, physical or mental; a slight hurt may be no real harm. Mischief is disarrangement, trouble, or harm usually caused by some voluntary agent, with or without injurious intent; a child's thoughtless sport may do great mischief; wrong is harm done with evil intent. An outrage combines insult and injury. Compare synonyms for BLEMISH; CRIMINAL; INJUSTICE.
blemish, damage, detriment, disadvantage, evil, harm, impairment, injury, injustice, loss, mischief, outrage, prejudice, wrong
advantage, amelioration, benefit, blessing, boon, help, improvement, remedy, service, utility
The injury of the cause; an injury to the structure; injury by fire; by or from collision, interference, etc.

Let little kids "help" with cooking by placing the mixing bowl on the open dishwasher door
Chrissy's smart "kids in the kitchen" hack:
Stumbled across this idea by accident this week when my four year-old wanted to help with the cooking. She's kind of a wild stirrer and flour has a tendency to end up all over so I was feeling resistant to having her help. The dishwasher happened to be open and I got the idea to just set to bowl on top of the open dishwasher door. It was just the right height for her to help add ingredients and stir, and the pile of flour and sugar that usually ends up on the counter ended up on the dishwasher instead, making clean up as easy as closing the door :) It was definitely one of those "how did it take me so long to think of this?!" sort of moments.
Don't you love those moments? After you stop slapping your forehead?
Another time the dishwasher door comes in handy: when kids want to practice pouring their own drinks.

Gordon Beckham's White Sox tenure could be nearing its end
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN Staff Reporter August 14, 2014 8:22PM
Related Stories
Updated: August 14, 2014 8:58PM
There's a month and a half to go in the season, and maybe for Gordon Beckham, as well.
Not in baseball, but in a White Sox uniform, the only one the 27-year-old second baseman has worn since he was selected eighth overall in the 2008 draft.
The Sox have several second-base prospects on the rise, cheaper alternatives in their system such as Carlos Sanchez, Micah Johnson and Marcus Semien, whose opportunities to step up will begin in September. Beckham's glove has been typically good — exceptional, even — but his bat is on yet another descent after it showed flashes during a .306 May of being what it was in happier, more promising days.
"It's just not up to me,'' he said of the distinct possibility of playing for another team next season. "If it happens, it happens. I know it's on the line for me, especially this last month and a half. I realize that.''
The sixth-highest-paid Sox player at $4.175 million for 2014, Beckham is headed toward his last year of salary arbitration before he can become a free agent after 2016. If offered, Beckham would be in line to make more than $5 million, but at this point, it seems possible the Sox won't tender an offer.
"I'm doing the best I can, playing as hard as I can,'' Beckham said. "For me, it's in God's hands. So I'll just try to have fun and be passionate about the game.''
Beckham is batting .220 with seven home runs and 36 RBI. Those numbers, along with a .264 on-base percentage (he has only 19 walks in 404 plate appearances), .341 slugging percentage and .606 OPS, rank at or near the bottom for all second basemen. The Sox' chances of trading him plummeted with each passing day in July, when Beckham batted .138 with no homers and three walks.
"This one, it wasn't good timing for the team and myself,'' he said.
"When you get mechanically bad with the swing, that will ruin your chances for more hits.''
To his credit, Beckham has played hard through it and acted the part of a professional. Unfortunately, the slump had become something he was all too familiar with.
"I feel like it's just another test,'' Beckham said. "I've been through a lot over my career, so I'm just trying not to break, you know what I mean?
"I've tried to make the best of stuff that's not going well. It's not always easy, especially where I'm at in my career, but I felt like I've competed the right way.''
In the Sox' 3-2 victory over the Giants in 10 innings Tuesday, Beckham was a hero with a diving stop and glove-flip to start a double play in the ninth inning and a game-winning single in the 10th. There simply haven't been enough of those moments with the bat, though.
"He's handled it pretty good,'' said manager Robin Ventura, who has kept the faith by batting Beckham second here and there of late. "There are times when he's frustrated, you can tell. But he doesn't take it to the field.
"Anybody that's struggling and not feeling right, sometimes you see they might miss a pitch here or there because their mind might be wandering. He hasn't let that happen.''
Beckham's high level of respect for Ventura as a person is one thing that motivates him to be a maximum-effort guy through thick and thin.
"The White Sox have been extremely good to me — they've hung with me through some struggles,'' Beckham said. "I've been through a lot of ups and downs, but I feel like I've come to play every day. That's all I can really do, whether the hits fall or don't.''

In cable skiing, the rider is pulled by a powered cable system designed to simulate being pulled behind a boat. The cable system pulls the rider between a series of towers, and the system can be set to match the rider's skill level. The first cable skiing park opened in Germany in 1959, and the activity is gaining in popularity in the United States. If built, this would be the only cable skiing system in operation in Alabama. At nearly 10,000 acres, Oak Mountain is the largest state park in Alabama and the second most visited after Gulf State Park. Each year, approximately half a million people visit Oak Mountain to enjoy its natural scenic beauty; excellent hiking; world-class mountain biking; championship golf course; and to swim, canoe, paddleboard and fish in its lakes. Oak Mountain's proximity to Birmingham provides an oasis from the Birmingham metro area as well as offers out-of-town visitors access to a wide variety of cultural, dining and entertainment options in the city. Tripadvisor.com ranks Oak Mountain State Park as the number one attraction in Pelham, Alabama, and number four on its Best of the Birmingham Area list. The site also ranks Oak Mountain's golf course, The Oaks, as the number one value for a public course in the metro area. The International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA) has also added Oak Mountain's trails to its Epic Ride Hall of Fame. The Alabama State Parks Division operates and maintains 22 state parks encompassing approximately 48,000 acres of land and water. These Parks rely on visitor fees and the support of other Partners like local communities to fund the majority of their operations.

Poll: If you had to choose, who would you vote for in 2016 in a race between Republican Rand Paul and Democrat Dennis Kucinich?Submitted by A Real Conservative on Sun, 12/09/2012 - 18:39
I'm sorry if some of you are getting tired of polls, and I apologize if posting another poll irrates you. That isn't my intention. My intention in posting this particular poll is just to try to understand why so many people here won't support Rand Paul. Is it because there are just a lot of hardcore libertarians here who don't believe that Rand Paul is libertarian enough? Is there there really just a lot of left wing liberals here who only supported Ron because he wanted to end the wars and legalize drugs? I've seen a lot of praise and a lot of support for Dennis Kucinich here, and many people have even said that they would support him for President or would want him to be Ron's VP pick. This is despite the fact that Kucinich has anti liberty views on about 80-90% of the issues. Rand Paul has received A TON of hatred from the people on this forum, even though he takes pro liberty positions on 98% of the issues. So I would just like to know where people are coming from and who they would support in a matchup between Rand Paul and Dennis Kucinich in 2016. I would GREATLY appreciate your participation in this poll! Thanks!!

Kucinich is A LOT worse than
Kucinich is A LOT worse than Rand on civil liberties issues. That's what I was talking about in terms of there being a lot of left wing people on this forum.
"In the aftermath of the Virginia Tech massacre in Blacksburg, Virginia, Kucinich proposed a plan that he says would address violence in America. Kucinich is currently drafting legislation that includes a ban on the purchase, sale, transfer, or possession of handguns by civilians.
The congressman has pushed for gun control, even as a city councilman."

U.S. regulators said they weren't surprised by the volume of the critical comments filed by financial companies and foreign governments over the Volcker rule, which bars U.S. banks from trading for their own account.
Acting Comptroller of the Currency John Walsh and Acting Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg said in interviews today that concerns raised over the rule were due to its complexity and to its essential purpose -- the elimination of proprietary trading by U.S. banks.
The rule "goes to what's been a significant activity for the major financial companies," Gruenberg said in an interview in Nashville, Tennessee, where he addressed the national convention for the Independent Community Bankers of America.
The FDIC and OCC are among five regulatory agencies required to draft and implement the rule, which was named for former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, by July 21. After receiving more than 17,000 comments about the initial proposal, Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro said regulators may miss the deadline.
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), Morgan Stanley (MS) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) are among the institutions that filed comments about the scope of the rule's impact on activities such as market-making and hedging. Many of the commenting institutions complained that those activities weren't included in the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, the legislation that requires U.S. regulators to write hundreds of rules governing the financial industry.
A New Framework
"I understand the concerns, but it's a new framework and we have to put it into place," Walsh said in an interview. "There are a lot of people who just don't like the basic idea of the rule and I think a certain amount of the criticism is from that quarter."
The FDIC has had an open dialog with institutions about its other Dodd-Frank duties, including on a joint rule with the Fed that requires the largest banks to draft and file plans to protect the broader economy in the event of their collapse, Gruenberg said. Regulators may ask firms to make changes or shed businesses if the plans are deemed inadequate.
The plans for banks with more than $250 billion in non-bank assets are due to the agency and the Fed by July, and regulators will probably ask for more information after the initial filing, he said, adding that there would be a "considerable process of engagement" after the plans are submitted.
Gruenberg, the agency's former vice chairman and President Barack Obama's nominee as chairman of the agency, said it is "too early" to make a judgment on whether banks will be required to make changes in their business models.
"At some point we will reach an end to the process and the plan will either satisfy the requirements of the law or the company may be asked to make changes," Gruenberg said. "We're not near that point yet."

This was another gown I made for a store display at the high-end fabric store where I used to work. We were dressing a holiday-themed window, and needed an eye-catching dress to be the centerpiece!
The lace is cut from a larger piece of fabric and hand-sewn to the bodice, and a few dark Swarovski crystals are sewn on top as accents. The petticoat is a separate piece made of fuchsia tulle edged with 1/8" wide satin ribbon.
The plaid was difficult to match at the seams (as you can see on one of the front princess seams) due to the irregular yarns that are characteristic of dupioni silk — it was a struggle to get it as well-matched as I did! There were only a few spots I gave up on. ;)
