Public Attorneys on the Move
Michael Goodwin has recently joined the Minnesota Attorney General's Office. Goodwin was formerly with the law firm of Jardine, Logan and O'Brien and previously served as a student liaison on the PLS Executive Council while he was a student at Hamline Law School.
News From the Bench
Governor Dayton appointed Mark C. Vandelist as District Court Judge in Minnesota's First Judicial District. Mr. Vandelist replaces the Honorable Edward I. Lynch, who retired earlier this year. The judgeship will be chambered at Le Center in Le Sueur County.
Mr. Vandelist was a trial attorney and partner at Vandelist & Vandelist, P.A., where he primarily handled personal injury cases and provided pro bono services in criminal areas. He previously served as a trial attorney at Heuer & Vandelist, P.A., and Cousineau McGuire Chartered. Mr. Vandelist earned his B.A. from American University in Washington, D.C. and his J.D. from the Hamline University School of Law.
Additionally, Mr. Vandelist is a certified civil trial specialist, served as an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association and volunteers as coach for Lakeville North High School Mock Trial.
Mr. Vandelist resides with his family in Lakeville.
Minnesota's First Judicial District consists of Carver, Dakota, Goodhue, Le Sueur, McLeod, Scott and Sibley Counties.
Governor Mark Dayton appointed Marta M. Chou, Nicole A. Engisch, Thomas S. Fraser, Carolina A. Lamas and Bruce D. Manning as District Court Judges in Minnesota's Fourth Judicial District. The appointees will be filling vacancies created upon the retirements earlier this year of the Honorable John L. Holahan, Jr., the Honorable William R. Howard, the Honorable Marilyn J. Kaman, the Honorable Richard S. Scherer and the Honorable Lloyd B. Zimmerman. These judgeships will be chambered at Minneapolis in Hennepin County in the Fourth Judicial District.

Eyes on the Court
By: Patricia Beety, League of Minnesota Cities
Helmberger v. Johnson Controls Inc., 839 N.W.2d 527 (Minn. 2013)
The Minnesota Supreme court recently held that private businesses contracting with government entities are not required to comply with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act ("MGDPA") when there is no notice requiring statutory adherence in the underlying contract. The question about what type of contracts between government entities and private contractors are subject to the MGDPA was left unanswered. Many were watching this case to see if the lower court decisions adopting a multi-factored test for what constitutes a "governmental function" would be followed by the supreme court. Instead, we were given a primer on following the plain language of a statute and adhering to core principles of contract law in this much anticipated decision, leaving the governmental function question for another day and another case.

Because I Said So: A Chance to Rethink Chevron Deference
By: The Honorable Eric L. Lipman
My eleven year-old is an independent thinker. He assumes nothing. He takes nothing for granted: "Why must I go to bed?" "Why do I need to wear a hat?" "Why is there gravity?" "Why can't I juggle steak knives?" Why? Why? Why?
Sometimes these interrogatories can be trying. Recently, at the end of one very long day of questions and answers, I just broke. Tumbling toward the refuge of exhausted parents everywhere, I blurted out: "Why? Because I said so…. That's why!!!"
I recalled that day, and that feeling of exasperation, as I read through the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in City of Arlington v. Federal Communications Commission. I remembered that: Just because I can say something authoritatively, does not mean that my authority is the best answer to a question.

The ABA's Government and Public Sector Lawyers Division
By: Greg Brooker, Assistant U.S. Attorney
The ABA's Government and Public Sector Lawyers Division (GPSLD) had a productive year in 2013, sponsoring several live webinars and CLEs for members. What follows is a short update on the Division's activities:
New Officers
The GPSLD met at the ABA's Annual Meeting in San Francisco in August and elected the following officers:
Chair – Al Purdue, Los Alamos, NM
Chair-Elect – Greg Brooker, Minneapolis, MN
Vice-Chair – Joan Burke, Newark, NJ
Secretary – Jenae Naumann, Phoenix, AZ
Treasurer – Pauline Weaver, Oakland, CA
ABA Annual Meeting in San Francisco
At the ABA Annual Meeting, GPSLD council members voted to co-sponsor several ABA resolutions and listened to Erik Holder, the U.S. Attorney General, announce a new national policy on drug prosecutions. Also at the meeting, Hillary Rodham Clinton received the ABA's highest award for her contributions as a lawyer and her work for some 40 years in the ABA.
Fall Council Meeting in Santa Fe
The GPSLD Fall Council Meeting took place in October in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The GPSLD sponsored an ethics CLE for New Mexico government lawyers and co-sponsored several seminars with the ABA's State and Local Section, which was meeting in Santa Fe at the same time.
Upcoming ABA Mid-Year Meeting in Chicago in February
At the ABA's Mid-Year 2014 Meeting in Chicago, the GPSLD will sponsor an interactive CLE on depositions for new government lawyers. The Division's popular Ethical Issues for Government Lawyers will also be held. The GPSLD Council will also be voting on several resolutions for the ABA House of Delegates to consider.
Outreach to Law Schools
Each year the GPSLD sponsors approximately 25 programs at law schools throughout the country on government service and public law. The programs are well attended. Last year local GPSLD members in the Twin Cities sponsored a program at the University of Minnesota Law School, and this spring one is planned for the University of St. Thomas School of Law.
Military Lawyers Outreach
The GPSLD has two committees on military justice that provide support for military lawyers. The committees sponsor legal help and advice clinics to military families near bases. The committees also sponsor CLEs on such issues as prosecuting sexual assaults in the military. In addition, the committees publish a separate newsletter each quarter for lawyers practicing in the military.
GPSLD Publications
Check out the Division's magazine, Public Lawyer and the GPSLD's newsletter, Pass It On, for timely legal topics for government lawyers.
Check Out the New ABA Website. The ABA's website is more user friendly and interactive. Check it out at www.americanbar.org.
Minnesota members of the GPSLD Council. U.S. District Court Judge Jack Tunheim and Hennepin County District Court Judge Susan Nolting Burke are members of the GPSLD Council. Greg Brooker of the U.S. Attorney's Office serves as Chair-Elect of the GPSLD. Please contact them if you have any questions about the Division and its activities and CLEs.

PLS in Action - Public Service News
Loaves & Fishes
PLS members and their friends came together on October 2 and December 4 to prepare food for the approximately 300 men, women and children who come to the Loaves & Fishes dinner at Holy Rosary church off Cedar Ave. and 26th St. in south Minneapolis. For many years the Public Law Section covered the cost of the food for the meal, approximately $600. Due to reduced revenues, the PLS can now only contribute $300 to the effort. Individual contributions have been making up the difference. Thank you to Nancy McLean, Nancy Gove, Lynn Belgea, Nancy Norman and Kim Buechel Mesun for their generous contributions. Also thanks to the University of Wisconsin – Madison Alumni who have been serving and cleaning up after the bimonthly meal and have been providing the fruit. If you are interested in participating in the meal cooking or set up or making a financial contribution towards the cost of the food, please contact Kim Buechel Mesun at firstname.lastname@example.com. The next meals will be prepared and served on February 5 and April 2.
Sponsor a Family
The PLS participation in Sponsor a Family was a little different this year. Previously, PLS worked through Catholic Charities to find families to sponsor for the holidays through the purchase of gifts and gift cards. This year Catholic Charities decided not to be involved with the Sponsor a Family effort and instead a separate non-profit was organized specifically for the purpose – Sponsor a Family MN. All of the sign up and communication was done electronically this year so the exact number of public lawyers involved is not known. We do know that at least four families were sponsored by PLS members and that individual financial contributions were made. If you know of people who participated in the effort, please contact Corrine Heine at email@example.com so that we can plan for next year.
Kim Mesun prepares gift tags and Nan Miller wraps the gifts purchased by the members
of the Minneapolis Public Schools General Counsel's Office for the family they sponsored this year.
Habitat for Humanity Landscaping Project
Members of the PLS met on Saturday, October 5 to do gardening and lawn work for a family in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. People who participated were Margaret Westin, Nancy Norman, Alexandra McWhorter, Whitney Brooke, and Jim Alexander. The cool and damp weather was perfect for planting, moving perennials, spreading mulch, and preparing a vegetable garden for spring planting. As a bonus, the volunteers were treated to a wonderful lunch prepared by the host family!
Undone Stuffed Pepper Casserole
1 lb lean ground beef
2 green peppers, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups cooked long–grain white or brown rice
1 jar (24 oz) spaghetti sauce
1 ½ cups shredded cheese
Heat oven to 350°.
Brown meat with peppers and garlic in large skillet; drain. Stir in rice, spaghetti sauce and ¾ c cheese.
Spoon into 2 qt casserole sprayed with cooking spray; top with remaining cheese.
Bake 25 min. or until heated through.
Makes 7 one cup servings.
We had a bumper crop of peppers this year and I found this recipe after we tired of making the traditional stuffed peppers. This recipe freezes well and can be made in the crock pot. We needed to use peppers but you can substitute cabbage for the green pepper and have "Undone Cabbage Rolls"
We preferred more peppers. I used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese. I added salt, pepper and onion to the meat as it browned. I used ½ jar of spaghetti sauce and 1 can of diced tomatoes. I added ½ package of taco seasoning. You can add corn. To make it creamier, you can add 2 tbsp cream cheese.

Report from the ABA's Midyear Meeting in Chicago, February 10, 2014
The ABA's House of Delegates convenes twice a year to review recommendations on resolutions submitted by various entities of the Association. The resolutions passed by this body become ABA policy that influences future legislation, education policy, the courts and other important initiatives. Some of these policies should be of interest to public lawyers. At their last meeting, The House of Delegates, in part, approved resolutions urging businesses to adopt and implement policies on labor trafficking and child labor; urging governments to ensure that juveniles are provided effective appellate representation; urging state governments to apply administrative procedure acts' notice and comment rule-making provisions to regulations governing correctional facilities and officers; urging governments to adequately fund judicial system security protocols and urging courts to review security system protocols so they may communicate their needs to policy makers; urging governments to enact and implement legislation and policies which prohibit youth from transitioning from foster care to a status of homelessness.
To view a full summary of all the resolutions by the ABA's House of Delegates follow this link:
Local Rule Amendments

Web (Re)Design :: Web 2.0 Social Networking
"Web 2.0" is one of the Internet's most widely abused buzzwords. Many consider it a catch-all phrase for the technologies enabling social networking sites like Fakebóók, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube.
Actually, "Web 2.0" is not a formal framework, an official standard, or a cabling interface. It has no specific definition, and only simpletons or charlatans would offer to "Make your website Web 2.0 compatible".
"Web 2.0" is a term that has meaning only in context. Here is how it is seen through a lens at Squidoo.com: "'Web 2.0 design' has no definition, yet it is widely recognizable. Consisting of a light and 'easy on the eyes' look, Web 2.0 design utilizes whitespace with bright, vivid colors and gradients. Fonts play a major role in Web 2.0 - the 'H1' tag resurfaces as a major part of a web page's design, as it is typically a large, bright statement of what a page or paragraph is about. Links are bright and typically neon in color, and color combinations themselves are heavily contrasted against their backdrop (color patterns such as white, neon green and fuchsia make for an eye-appealing mix)... Web 2.0 borrows from minimalist styles - where 'less is more.'"
That's not a bad start! But for Web Design with Results in Mind™, there is much more to Web 2.0 than whitespace, bright colors and gradient shading. The flash-enhanced HTML generating all those minimalist masterpieces should dynamically enable website owners to fully leverage the interactive potential of their web marketing and ecommerce investments. The web pages should be written in tableless XHTML and CSS for streamlined, search-friendly delivery of semantics separate from syntax, content apart from form. Every web page should be validated as compliant with all applicable W3C coding standards and accessibility guidelines. And most importantly, every Web 2.0 website and online marketing initiative should be designed to deliver real RE$ULT$ ... the kind measurable in dollars and cents, and not just "fans" and "followers":
- IF YOU HAVE A WEBSITE ... that is out of date, out of style, out of compliance, out of the rankings, or not ready for what's next, contact us today and schedule a free Web 3.0 consultation with Bruce Arnold.
- IF YOU NEED A WEBSITE ... be sure to speak with Bruce Arnold before you waste time and money on a "template site" that delivers only disappointment, or spend a fortune buying clicks you could get for free.

Walden on Cover Oregon Website: "If this were a car you'd been sold, you'd get it taken back under the lemon law."
As the president's health care law continues to take effect, seniors across the country are facing the harsh reality of the law's broken promises.
Committee Leaders Request Government Watchdog Investigate Failed Oregon Health Care Exchange
Walden: "It's time to get to the truth. It's time to get transparency and accountability…This cannot be swept under the rug."
Exceprt: In the nearly four months since HealthCare.gov and the state-run insurance exchanges launched, consumers have encountered numerous problems at both the federal and state level. Although the rollout of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) has been problematic nationwide, no state has had more complications than Oregon.

Ask the star of New Line's sequel to its 1994 smash The Mask if he was intimidated following Jim Carrey, and he responds with a routine that suggests he's been bracing for this question. ''Drew Carey is a big talent,'' he says. ''He's been overlooked for years.'' Ba-dum-bum. ''Seriously,'' Jamie Kennedy continues, ''the first Mask was great. Eric Stoltz and Cher were so good…'' But Kennedy was assuaged by the promise of a very different film, one tailored for families instead of teenagers and one that gave the Malibu's Most Wanted star a chance to play an adult for a change.
Here, he's an ambitious animator who, while under the magical mask's frisky influence, conceives with his wife (Traylor Howard) a kid who can literally bounce off the walls. Meanwhile, the family dog, jealous of the baby, digs up the mask, ''and a full-on Chuck Jones cartoon war erupts,'' says director Lawrence Guterman (Cats & Dogs). The F/X-intensive, five-month shoot in Sydney was complicated, to say the least, but the star says wearing the mask itself wasn't difficult. Just freaky. ''Jay Leno's chin, Bob's Big Boy hair, Green Giant color, big horse teeth,'' says Kennedy. ''It's like the Hulk on weirdness.''

I have over two years of direct practice with at-risk children and adults, as well as a strong academic background in family systems. I have a proven ability to quickly establish an excellent working relationship with diverse people, and I am interested in empowering vulnerable persons to make human connections and seek resources and social supports in the community.
I also have experience in graphic and web design, and my last position was web designer at the University of Idaho where I developed branding and websites for nationally-recognized family issues, including child care and healthy eating, personal finance, and diabetes.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Nuttin' but Net' started by HallGator, Nov 12, 2013.
Great early season match-up. The only problem being is the time conflict with the Gator/Wis game.
Looking forward to this tonight. We are either going to win or we are going to learn. I look forward to the challenge. I think everyone knows how I feel about this team.
Three BIG matchups tonight. Probably as good a night of regular season college basketball as I remember. I agree with Jeff. We're going to learn some things tonight - one way or another.
Last I saw both UF and UK were underdogs to night. Hopefully the SEC can surprise some people tonight. My suspicion is, no matter what happens tonight, both teams (UF and UK) would benefit from these games being played later in the year. Luckily this isn't college football.
I feel like Michigan State always loses their big game early in the season, struggles for a bit, and then gels towards the middle of the season.
I agree with REM that given the Gator suspensions and injury recoveries, and Kentucky's needing to get the Frosh up to snuff, both SEC teams would be better off with this game played later.
Of course, as xeny notes, Michigan State does have a tendency to start slow and get better as the season moves along.
True - both SEC teams will learn a lot and this ain't football, where one loss pretty much kills your season.
VCU/UVA could be fun as well.
It pains me to say it, but I think I am rooting for Michigan State to lose. In the Big Dance, I would be rooting for Kentucky to lose to Michigan State, but I think this would help the Gators if the Cats win...
Typical Calipari bullshlt in saying that UK should forfeit game. Does this guy ever have an honest moment?
Cal gave a BS comment, but it wasn't about forfeit...He said they stink now and have no chance of beating a good team. Izzo responded by saying UK should forfeit...
Believe it or not, this IS typical Cal BS. He's sandbagging like a pro leading up to this game. I'm not a big fan of it. If he wants to soften expectations, then just soften them. Be straightforward and not so over the top. It must be that he figures he'll just sound like every other coach (coach-speak) if he doesn't do something that'll get more clicks, etc.
I'm SURE he wants to win this game badly and I'm SURE he's telling his team they can win it. I just have a problem with how he spins his message to the media sometimes.
Did Vince Dooley give a seminar about how to do this? Was Cal his prize student?
My dad (working class background and his teen years were during the Great Depression) had an expression for this: Crying with a loaf of bread under each arm.
Hope this is a good game. We can use the distraction.
MSU jumps out to a quick 6-0 lead.
State's defense giving Kentucky early problems.
Alley Oop!!! 10-0 Sparty
Not ready for prime time. I'm sure they'll be playing like the Showtime Lakers by the time they face us.
Look like boys among men so far.
Love Cal complaining about it not being fair his guys have to face an experienced MSU team this early. Well John, whose fault is it that you don't have any experience?
Kentucky looks pretty bad so far. I'm sure they'll catch up soon. Then again Michigan St has a very good team this year.
It is never his fault. He reminds us every year that it isn't his fault the NBA allows one and done players.

You don't have to wait for the federal government to fix the Obamacare Web site to learn about your insurance options.
HealthSherpa is the creation of three guys who actually seem to know how to program. Instead of fighting your way through confusing interfaces, legalese and a long sign-up process, you just type in your Zip Code and bam! Your options start to show up.
HealthSherpa allows you to modify your results by the number of family members and your income (which determines whether you get subsidies to cut the cost–most people do).
HealthSherpa doesn't have the links to Social Security and the IRS that would allow you to sign up for a plan directly on the site. But it does offer links and phone numbers to insurers that can help you sign up once you pick a plan.
If only Kathleen Sebelius had hired these guys in the first place…
UPDATE: As commenter Kitty notes below, you'll still need to go through Healthcare.gov to sign up for coverage if you want the subsidies and other cost reductions available through Obamacare. The HealthSherpa site allows you to see and explore your options, which should make signing up a bit easier.

Thank you! This is super useful.
Please do remind folks that signing up for insurance directly with an insurer does NOT get them the subsidy from the government that Healthsherpa indicates. So far, the only way to get the subsidy is to sign up through the healthcare.gov exchange…if you can. Insurers are negotiating with the gov. right now about how to give out subsidies directly (there are major privacy issues…do you want your insurance company to know how much you earn?) since clearly the healthcare.gov website is too screwed up to do it.
Also, remind them that the premium subsidy is only the beginning. Those with low income will also qualify for something called a cost-sharing reduction (lower deductibles, max-out-of-pockets, and copays). Your health insurance company will not be able to give that to you either. Again, that only comes from going through the ailing healthcare.gov website. Healthsherpa appears to make no mention of cost-sharing reductions.
Good point, Kitty! I'll make it clearer in the post that HealthSherpa is for shopping, not buying.

James L. Brooks' new movie "How Do You Know" is a real cat shit of a slow ball (that is as Owen Wilson, or Matty Reynolds, the never-too-conscientious autistic, actually relates a hope-you-feel-better story to Reese Witherspoon, as Lisa, about a disgruntled x-baseball player who sent cat shit by mail to the manager that fired him). Once upon a time there lived an insulated, highly paid, professional straw blonde pitcher who lived like a prince in a castle—that is an expensive high rise, posh, penthouse. By the way, this movie really is a more or less a juvenile fairytale—although at times it's surprisingly funny.
We will be gathering at McPherson Square (15th and I Streets NW) at 10 a.m. on Monday, October 5th and then silently processing (two and a half blocks) to the White House to deliver a letter to Obama and request a meeting. The gathering will feature Liz McAlister as a speaker.
We are calling for withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Afghanistan, ending the illegal bombing with US drones, including neighboring Pakistan, and the closing of the Bagram prison and ending indefinite detention and torture.

Rejected bidder given the job
Bristol company to do Torrington drainage project
TORRINGTON — A Bristol construction firm that was the lowest bidder for a Mountain Road drainage project but saw their bid rejected because a local firm was within 6 percent of its price will be awarded a contract after all.
When W.W. Manchester of Bristol was recommended for the project by city engineer Edward Fabbri on Oct. 15, his choice sparked a minor flap over the city's ordinance to show preference to local bidders.

The result is a collection of inspiring and informative first person-narratives accompanied by heartfelt letters from students and captivating portraits taken by celebrated photographers from around the country such as Peter Feldstein, Roman Cho, Paul Natkin and Laura Straus.
Katrina Fried has previously written Everyday Heroes: 50 Americans Changing The World One Nonprofit At A Time, American Farmer, and as Senior Editor and Assoc. Publisher of Welcome Books has edited or produced numerous award-winning and bestselling titles including: Artists in Love, The Oxford Project, Gay in America, The Last Good War, Slow: Life in a Tuscan Town, Cooking with Italian Grandmothers, Primal Cuts, On The Street, and Red Carpet.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Authentidate: Big Bet On A Small Company
The following commentary about health stocks was written by Ankit Gupta, who blogs about investing at Selected Financials.
Authentidate (ADAT) is a New Jersey based company providing IT solutions for the Healthcare markets. Specifically, they handle electronic medical/health records.
On Tuesday, Authentidate announced $3.4M of capital being raised through the issuance of common stock and warrants, underwritten by Rodman & Renshaw (RODM) .
The warrants are only good for 90 days, though, and exercisable at $1, with the stock recently trading right at $1. There is a clear bet from the investors that something will happen in the next 3 months, causing the stock price to go significantly above $1, making those warrants actually worth something. If the stock stays at its current level, these warrants could be worthless.In the last quarterly report, we saw inventory for telehealth devices increase. These are sold through ExpressMD. The data in the following table image comes directly from their quarterly report. For a company that has such little cash, had to raise $3.4 million, get emergency financing for $3 million from a board member's family member, this is a significant move.

Just this evening I hear a crash in the kitchen. I walk in to find that the decorative piece of the light fixture has come a part from the metal piece. You can tell that it was adhered to the metal piece with a thin strip of glue. It is very heavy and hard and I'm thinking if myself, my husband or one of my dogs had happened to be in there it could have seriously injured me or my husband and may have even killed one of my dogs. It was very upsetting and I have two more of these fixtures in my kitchen. They are coming down and I can only hope that my money will be refunded.
We have purchased several pieces from this collection and they are all excellent. We are building a new house and are supplying the lighting and can't wait to see them installed. They are all exactly as represented and appear to be well constructed. Couldn't be happier with the entire collection.

Day 291 - The Devil Wears Julia
I have never seen The Devil Wears Prada, but I am told that the film shares many similarities with Julie & Julia. The leads, for instance.
Hmmm, that's pretty weird. And it gets weirder.
Could The Devil Wears Prada and Julie & Julia possibly be the same movies? Questions to think about. But not too hard. It is a Friday, after all.

Holy CRAP! How have you NEVER seen The Devil Wears Prada!? That's one of my favorite movies ever! Even a shit ton of my guy friends have seen it. Because HELLO...? Anne Hathaway! Come on Lawrence. Step up.ReplyDelete
Whoa whoa whoa! AND, Meryl Streep wears shoes in BOTH MOVIES. Also, there is FOOD in both movies.ReplyDelete
This is getting eerie.
You need to watch the Devil Wears Prada before you finish "The Devil made me watch Julie & Julia for 365 days."ReplyDelete
Something to do for next year.ReplyDelete
The Devil Wears Prada is nothing like Julie & Julia.ReplyDelete
I think your next goal should be watching The Devil Wears Prada for 365 days. And blog about it. It is the only way.ReplyDelete

Forget Anne Hathaway, Meryl is smoking hot in The Devil Wears Prada. MmmMmm.ReplyDelete
haha! ^^^ TB!! yeah...freaky stuff...ReplyDelete
These screen shots are yet more evidence that Meryl Streep is a genuine demi-goddess!ReplyDelete
Maybe you could watch them at the same time on different screens, and see if any freaky parallels occur?ReplyDelete

Fireplaces keep your home warm and toasty
Whether you prefer built-in, freestanding or portable models, fireplaces provide warmth when and where you need it. Sears carries an inventory of name-brand electric fireplaces that you can move from room to room or mount on the wall. For a modern aesthetic, mount a 35-inch Comfort Earth electric fireplace on the wall, and use the included remote control to operate it from a distance. You also have traditional freestanding electric fireplaces available, such as the Essential Home entertainment fireplace that features mahogany wood.
Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, electric indoor heaters do not produce smoke or airborne irritants. You have access to floor units and wall-mount heaters that feature LED displays that mimic the look of realistic fire. Indoor heaters use fans to circulate the heat throughout the room, and you can control the units with remote controls or the variable settings on the devices. Some Kenmore infrared room heaters feature humidifiers and air purifiers to remove dust and other particles from the room. With a portable electric indoor heater, you can carry your heat source with you and control the temperature at the press of a button.
Keep your outdoor fire pit dry and protected from the elements with fire pit covers from AZ Patio and Fire Sense. Whether you have an indoor fireplace or an outdoor fire pit, you need dry wood in order to start a successful fire. A fire pit cover features protective waterproof vinyl that keeps moisture from damaging your logs. In addition to fire pit covers, invest in firewood racks that elevate your logs off the ground. If you have a log rack, then the Landmann heavy-duty log rack cover provides easy access to your wood, and it keeps the logs dry and protected from the rain and snow.
Indoor fireplaces and heaters do not work as effectively as an outdoor fire pit, and they can overheat and break down from overuse. When you gather outside with friends and family, you need outdoor fireplaces to keep the area warm and dry. An outdoor fireplace provides an aesthetic focal point in the backyard or on a patio, and you can choose between wood-burning fireplaces and fire pits depending on your space. The Garden Oasis fireplace brings the look of an interior fireplace to the outdoors, and the Landmann Georgia clay fire pit provides a convenient 360-degree view of the fire.
Indoor and outdoor fireplaces come in many traditional and modern styles depending on your preference. Indoor heaters don't produce smoke and harmful airborne particles that cause respiratory problems, and outdoor fireplaces provide abundant heat for larger patio and backyard spaces. Shop online at Sears for the best selection of name-brand indoor and outdoor heating supplies and accessories for your home.

fascicular cambium [%PREMIUM_LINK%] (fə-sĭk'yə-lər) Pronunciation Key
Cambium that develops within the vascular bundles in the stem of a plant. Among the eudicotyledons, layers of fascicular cambium within the individual vascular bundles are connected by cambium tissue between the bundles (the interfascicular cambium) to form a ring of tissue within the stem. This ring of cambium matures to become the vascular cambium, which permits secondary growth of the eudicotyledon stem. See also interfascicular cambium, vascular bundle.

Some of of the greatest social and environmental challenges are focused around the issue of reproductive rights. Italian-based FAREstudios created a brilliant architectural solution to the issue by developing a refuge and Women's health clinic in a poor suburb of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in West Africa. The complex is a a new type of care center that provides health and social resources for women in impoverished communities using a site-appropriate sustainable architecture model. The Woman's Clinic provides an important lesson in integrated design, which led it to be honored as a finalist for the 2010 Aga Khan Award for Architecture.
Health clinics are a vital resource that NGO's and governments provide in impoverished and often isolated communities.The main goal of FAREstudios' clinic was to develop a replicable design and materials strategy that can be adopted throughout the tropical regions of Africa while taking a leading role in community health and development. This clinic is funded thought the Italian group AIDOS.
Due to the intense summer heat at this latitude, the main structural focus of the clinic is to reduce heat gain. The massive overhang is the building's dominant feature, but other strategies such as site-made red clay bricks, raised floors to encourage ventilation, and surrounding greenscape all add to a dramatic reduction in dependency on AC. A series of covered verandas and well-placed buildings with generous openings further reduce heat buildup.

Registration OPEN for January Members' Workshop!
Fulfill your dream of making a living as a writer!
Want to learn the ins and outs of making it on your own in the wild world of publishing? Want to see if and how self-publishing could be right for you, and lead to your dream of being a full-time writer? Learn from the wisdom of a highly-successful local in our January Member Workshop: The Professional Self-Publisher! Join us on Saturday, January 25 for a special workshop that just might change your life.
This workshop is designed to teach the attendees the business of self-publishing. It will cover the genres that do the best in self-publishing, the essential elements that go into presenting a professional product, and the most strategic ways to upload your books to the various distribution sites. We'll touch on effective pricing, how to successfully launch a new book, understanding Amazon's algorithms and knowing how to use them to your advantage, as well as the various strategies and paid promotions that deliver the strongest results. There will be a companion handbook with additional information that won't be covered in the workshop, including an amazon rank to sales chart, (so you can figure out how much a book or author is actually earning) as well as a list of professional and reasonably priced cover artists, editors and formatter.
The workshop will be from 9 to noon at Wenatchee Valley College, in Wenatchi Hall Room 2106 (Arniel Lecture Hall). The workshop is open to all Write On The River Members for only $15 (click here to become a Member!). This is sure to be the best $15 you spend all year.
Our presenter, Theresa Monsey, is superbly and dramatically qualified to lead you to self-publishing success. Here is her impressive bio:
In September of 2011, under the pen name Trish McCallan, I self-published a high-octane romantic thriller titled Forged in Fire. Over the next year Fire sold 43,621 copies, earning $88,732. It remained on the Kindle Store's romantic suspense best sellers list for twelve months, and was ranked the number one romantic suspense according to customer review for over six months. It was also voted the best romantic suspense by the Kindle Review readers for five months in a row.
Within three months of self-publishing Fire I was able to quit my day job to write full time. After multiple offers, I ultimately sold the title, along with three additional books, to Montlake Romance, which is Amazon Publishing's romance imprint. In September of 2012, one year after self-publishing it, I unpublished Forged in Fire, so Montlake Romance could publish their edition.
Since I intend to self-publish select titles in the future, I've remained entrenched in the self-publishing community and have been tracking the newest and strongest self-publishing and marketing strategies.

Moment by Moment Character Development
with Terry Persun
Oct. 5th, 1-3 pm
Wenatchee Valley College
Join Write On The River in welcoming acclaimed author and writing expert Terry Persun to the Wenatchee Valley for an intensive workshop on Character Development!
We all know what a well-rounded character reads like, but how do you develop one step by step within your novel? In this class we'll first discuss the three layers of character, then talk about how to build a character while writing the book through the use of scene, setting, dialog, etc. We'll also look at ways in which gesture, habit, and point-of-view can affect each character. And we'll explore the differences between walk-on characters, minor characters, and main characters.
You won't want to miss this terrific chance to improve your craft and hone your writing with a truly remarkable instructor.
Terry Persun writes in many genres, including historical fiction, mainstream, literary, and science fiction/fantasy. He is a Pushcart nominee. His latest poetry collection is "And Now This". His novel, "Cathedral of Dreams" is a ForeWord magazine Book of the Year finalist in the science fiction category, and his novel "Sweet Song" won a Silver IPPY Award. His latest science fiction space opera is, "Hear No Evil", his latest fantasy is "Doublesight", his latest mainstream/literary novel is "Ten Months in Wonderland".

Write On The River's NaNoWriMo Challenge!
Ready for an Exciting Challenge? Ready to Kick-start your Writing Life?
Take on National Novel Writing Month with Write On The River!
What is National Novel Writing Month?
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo in shorthand), is an annual international literary sensation. Millions of people all over the world have participated – hundreds of thousands every year!
NaNoWriMo inspires people from all walks of life to dust off their literary ambitions and finally write that novel they've always dreamed of. Participants are challenged to write a complete novel (of at least 50,000 words), start to finish, in the month of November. There's a long list of books and authors that have gone on to get published after getting started as a NaNoWriMo project (click here to check it out)!
It's daunting. It's ambitious. It's wicked fun. And it's a great way to jump-start your writing life, or zap new energy into one that's been stalled.
What will the Write On The River NaNoWriMo group do?
Write On The River will be hosting a local NaNoWriMo support group in 2013 to encourage local writers (and those who want to become on) to take this challenge on. We'll meet three times: once in late October to strategize, organize and energize. Once in mid-November for a write-in to high-five, get some more words down, and cheer each other on. And once in early December to celebrate success (or valiant effort in pursuit thereof). In 2011 Write On The River had 12 brave souls take on the challenge together…we're hoping for even more in 2013!
Awesome! How do I sign up?
Easy! Email Dan at email@example.com for more information and to sign up. This program is open to anyone brave and bold enough to take it on!
Thirty days and nights of literary abandon. A novel completed, and ready to revise to pitch to an agent or editor at our May Write On The River Conference. Friends made, connections fostered. It's gonna be a beautiful thing.
Join Write On The River, and take on the NaNoWriMo challenge.Upcoming Events. Posted on August 16, 2013.
