Sweetwater Barite District, Monroe Co., Tennessee, USA
This is a baryte mining area located in parts of Monroe, McMinn, and Loudon Counties.
The baryte occurs with fluorite and pyrite in veins or shatter zones in the upper part of the Knox group of Cambrian and Ordovician age and is concentrated in the overlying residual clays. Only the residual deposits have been exploited commercially. The best of these are in clays derived from the limestone member at the base of the Kingsport formation. Some deposits are in the residuum of Mascot dolomite above the Kingsport and some also are in residuum of the Longview dolomite below the Kingsport.
The residual deposits occur along three narrow parallel northeast-trending belts separated by barren zones. The three belts are on fault blocks bounded by southeast-dipping thrust faults. The regional strike of the rocks is N.50ºE. and the dip is 10º to 20º SE. Workable residual bodies of ore occur at irregular intervals along the three belts that are 100 to 300 feet wide. The eastern belt is about 20 miles long, whereas the middle and western belts are probably about 40 miles long. Some of the larger deposits extended over 10 to 12 acres and were worked to bedrock at a depth of 125 feet.

The Mad Men Season 5 Style Manual
A few things you might take away from the fellas at Sterling Cooper Draper
Pryce before you take in the season finale
By Elizabeth Valleau
Michael Ginsberg wins again with this ballsy combination: deconstructed plaid cotton blazer (madras, maybe — swoon,) a patterned shirt, and Byzantine patterned tie. The jeans might be a questionable addition — a pale flat-front chino might have been a better combo. But, really, no complaints here.

Buoyed by fond memories of his fellowship experience, Dr. James began envisioning the benefits a cancer hospital could bring to Ohio and the Midwest. Over the years, various obstacles dampened but never doused his dream.
In 1954 he became medical director of the Columbus Cancer Clinic, which appointed a committee to look into establishing an inpatient cancer facility. Three years later, the Clinic created a hospital fund of $100,000 from transferred memorial monies, and in 1962 it proposed creation of a cancer hospital to the Mid-Ohio Health Planning Federation. But the Federation rejected the idea in favor of applying available funds toward additional hospital beds that were needed for routine patient care.
Over the next decade, Dr. James' prominence continued to grow through his skills as a cancer surgeon and his selection as president of Head and Neck Surgeons (1967-68), of the Society of Surgical Oncology (1970-71) and, ultimately, of the American Cancer Society (1972-73).
With his dream still simmering, he resumed his efforts to bring a cancer hospital to Columbus in 1974, but once again he faced defeat as voters a year later rejected a bond issue that would have raised funds for the project.
A turning point came in 1976 when the National Cancer Institute designated The Ohio State University as a Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) - a leader in cancer research clinically applied to patient care. OSU was one of fewer than 20 CCCs in the nation at that time.
Riding on the prestige this designation brought to the University, Dr. James presented his dream of a cancer hospital for Columbus to a group of influential community leaders and asked for their support. Several accompanied him on a visit to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston and Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York to see firsthand the benefits that could be derived from such facilities. Together these leaders formed the Ohio Cancer Foundation, which backed the idea of a local cancer facility.Aware of growing local support, the Ohio Legislature in 1981 passed a $40 million appropriation for construction of a cancer hospital; Ohio State contributed another $14 million. Ground was broken in 1984. Three years later the cornerstone was set and the hospital was named for Dr. James at a formal dedication ceremony.
Midway through construction, Dr. James reflected on what was about to be. "In making early morning patient rounds," he wrote, "I usually pass a large window through which I can see the construction site. On a morning when the sun is just beginning to rise, the Institute makes a very impressive picture. It is obvious that a new day is dawning."
But fate wasn't finished. In December 1989, three weeks before the new hospital was scheduled to open, a water line on the 13th floor froze and broke. Water cascaded down through the fully furnished facility, flooding the floors and converting the building's exterior, by many personal accounts, into a giant icicle. The resulting damages, estimated at $2.4 million, delayed the hospital opening by six months, but Dr. James was characteristically unperturbed. He knew it would open eventually.

Additional 30% off all books at Amazon through Dec 1. Here are my holiday gift picks for middle grade readers.
I'm not a Black Friday shopper, nor am I an indiscriminate gift-buyer, but I do love books and I love a good deal.
Through midnight December 1, Amazon is taking an additional 30% off any single book. Enter the code BOOKDEAL at checkout.
There are restrictions (of course), but they're reasonable. The most important is that you can only use this code once per account. So choose your most expensive gift book for this one-time promotion.
Here are a few gifts that have been hits in our family:
Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword, by Barry Deutch
Age 8-12. An imaginative, quirky graphic novel about "yet another troll-fighting 11-year-old Orthodox Jewish girl." Fun gift -- especially for those celebrating Hanukkah this week.
My daughter is loving this book and its sequel Hereville: How Mirka Met a Meteorite.
Wings of Fire series, by Tui T. Sutherland
Pictured here: Wings of Fire Book One: The Dragonet Prophecy
Age 8-12. My kids devour good fantasy series books. We lucked out finding this one at the library, but later books in the series are in such high demand we broke down and bought the set. My kids like to re-read their favorites, and this series qualifies.
The Underland Chronicles, by Suzanne Collins
Age 8-12. Suzanne Collins's brutal, brilliant Hunger Games series is getting all the glory, but this series (her first) is my son's favorite. Fantastic writing, compelling plot and action, and a responsible, relatable hero.
The Fablehaven series, by Brandon Mull
Age 8-12. Another fantastic fantasy series that will transport kids to a world of fairies and evil creatures. Page-turners, all.
A note about supporting independent booksellers: If I have a local gift to give in person, or I want a book for myself or my family, I usually buy through a local, independent bookseller. But I rely on Amazon for books I can't find locally and for gifts I need to ship (I'm an Amazon Prime member, so 2-day shipping is free).

UPDATE, March 15, 6:13 pm: The U.S. Justice Department will grant the hotel industry at least a 60-day extension for complying with a new rule aimed at making existing hotel pools compliant with the 22-year-old Americans With Disabilities Act.
It's a decision that the hotel industry lobbied hard for at the 11th hour, as a number of hotel owners and managers suggested they might close their pools or fill in their whirlpools due to the uncertainty the new rules created.
The about-face from the federal government means that the rules for making existing hotel pools accessible to people with disabilities will not take effect on March 15, as originally planned when the hotel-pool-related rules were first announced in 2010.
The federal government sought to make public pools, including hotel pools, accessible for people with disabilities in 2010.
There are about 51,000 hotels in the USA, and the majority have some kind of a pool.

ALSO ONLINE: Disability access may close some hotel pools
PHOTO GALLERY: TripAdvisor's Top 10 beaches, hotels
The department on Thursday evening issued a press release that confirms March 15 as the effective date for almost all of the new rules established in 2010. But at the bottom of the release, it says:
"Requirements for existing swimming pools will be extended for 60 days. The department will also publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking with a 15-day comment period on a possible six-month extension in order to allow additional time to address misunderstandings regarding compliance with these ADA requirements."
The rule in question requires hotels to make their existing pools accessible by installing lifts, but hoteliers - and the American Hotel & Lodging Association - had been seeking clarity on some requirements, such as installation procedures and lift type, among other questions.
The confusion among hoteliers remained so great as of Thursday, March 15, that a major hotel insurer reported some clients were now talking of closing their pools.
"I'm talking to hotel (representatives) who are thinking about closing their pools until the confusion is settled," says Todd Seiders, director of risk management for Petra Risk Solutions. "This is the first time in the past several months that my clients have expressed that closing the pool is an option."
TWITTER: Follow Hotel Check-In's BarbDeLollis
Petra Risk Solutions insures about 3,000 hotels in every state, ranging from mom-and-pop hotels to five-star resorts.
Best Western CEO David Kong had told USA TODAY earlier this week that some of Best Western hotel owners in the USA were talking about possibly filling in their whirlpools, although not the actual pools.
In response, the non-profit organization Open Doors is working on launching a 25-city tour on this very subject, says executive director Eric Lipp.
"Many hotel (managers) are like a deer in the headlights," Lipp told USA TODAY on Thursday. "They know (the deadline) is coming, but the things I'm hearing are 'Corporate's going to do it,' or 'Management company's going to do it.' They stare at you."
The non-profit works educating travel-industry companies on the needs of travelers with disabilities - a group that's been growing as the U.S. population ages.
This year, the American Hotel & Lodging Association - the industry's main lobby - has been pushing for a deadline extension, saying many hotels are not in compliance and that the government-issued guidance in January was too vague. But the Department of Justice told USA TODAY at that time that an extension was unlikely.
"They've had quite a bit of time to do their planning," says Eve Hill of the Justice Department. "If they have legitimate reasons in good faith that they can't comply, then that will be taken into account."
Open Doors plans to hold full-day meetings at a cost of about $125 per person where hotel managers or owners can ask specific questions about their individual properties, Lipp says.
"They want to talk to you one on one. They don't know who to ask," he says.
A pool lift costs $3,000 to $6,000. New hotels, which fall under different rules, are being constructed with built-in lifts.
The meaning of 'deadline'
Some in the disability community say that "March 15" wasn't actually a deadline after which hotels will be immediately penalized, and that this, too, could be prompting some confusion.
Maureen McCloskey, advocacy director of the veterans service organization Paralyzed Veterans of America, says that hotels have had an obligation to remove barriers since 1992, when the Americans With Disabilities Act went into effect.
The March 15 date - or, now, whenever the rules take effect - means that "pools are added to that list."
"So just as they would widen doorways or put in grab bars in bathrooms as they could afford to do so, the pool is another element that they provide access to if and when they can do it relatively easily and without much cost."
Pools are popular with guests
There is no dispute that for many hotels, the pool is a key feature that can help attract customers. But an unidentified number of existing hotel pools across the country do not have chair lifts to help some customers use them.
In Virginia Beach, Va., the local NBC affiliate, WAVY-TV 10, reported that many hotels along the popular oceanfront do not have chair lifts. The TV station quoted one wheelchair user as to why the federal regulations would make a difference to her when she is a hotel guest.
"The time it really brought it home for me was some friends and I saved up to go to a conference during the middle of the summer and the wheelchair-accessible room overlooked the non-accessible pool area," Lisbet Dula told WAVY-TV 10.
"It's... right to have the same access as anyone else to something you're paying for," she added.
Dula said she could not even sit near the pool, because steps blocked her access.
Some hotels, however, have already spent money on chair lifts to comply with the inevitable rule.
The general manager of Virginia Beach's family run Breakers Resort, Brad Capps, however, told the WAVY reporter that they, in fact, just installed a lift at a cost of $5,000. The hotel has an outdoor pool that operates seasonally and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean.
"There's probably going to be some hotels saying they can't get them, or they're on backorder or not available," Capps said, echoing what the hotel association has told USA TODAY.
For the rules that did take effect on March 15, the Justice Department said they "will set new requirements for fixed or built-in elements in facilities such as detention facilities and courtrooms, amusement rides, boating facilities, golf and miniature golf facilities, swimming pools and play areas."

Advanced Group Reservation Form
Advanced Group Reservation Policy
Groups may submit a request to reserve courts at the Pleasanton Tennis & Community Park outside of our standard 7 days advance booking policy. In order to serve the tennis community as a whole, courts will be granted depending on availability and criteria listed below.
Priority consideration for day, time and location will be given to those that meet the following criteria:
- Highest percentage of Pleasanton residents per group
- Request is for tournament, match, or other similar event. Team practices are not eligible for multi-court reservation at Pleasanton Tennis Park
- Group is affiliated with recognized tennis entity (i.e. USTA, CCSL, etc.)
- The group/activity helps tennis center participation or provides service to the community
Matches may be scheduled on three courts at Muirwood Community Park when Pleasanton Tennis Park time slots are full.
The reserved fee structure is $9 for 45 minutes per court. Full payment is to be made to Lifetime Tennis 7 days prior to the group's event or 1st home match (leagues). Groups are expected to complete match/event within the alotted time frame and should expect other groups or individual reservations to immediately follow.
It is our goal to balance usage so that members of the community, lessons, groups, and leagues all have access to this great facility. We will attempt to accommodate all requests that do not interfere with us providing equitable court access. Individuals participating in an "advanced group reservation" may not book additional courts during the groups scheduled court time.
Requests for USTA, FALL, B.A.L.L and other organized tennis teams may be submitted up to 90 days prior to the first day of the season's start date and are required no later than the day registration closes. Requests submitted after schedule is posted will not receive priority scheduling and will be considered on a first come first served basis. Lifetime Tennis will review and provide a schedule no later than 1 week after the season schedule has been published.
Group/team events held at the Pleasanton Tennis Park will typically be limited to 3 courts (Typically courts 3, 4 & 5) for 3 hours.
Requests for one time or annual group events may be made up to 1 year in advance. Lifetime Tennis will review and notify any interested parties whether or not the Tennis Park can accommodate the request(s).
Pleasanton Tennis Park Rain Policy
During the winter months court conditions can change rapidly. Lifetime Tennis staff will determine court playability during inclement weather. Team captain or designee only shall call the office to check court conditions. Drying the courts can take some time and often depends on weather conditions. Even after removing all puddles and standing water, courts may still be too slick to play. When staff is available, every effort will be made to dry the courts in a timely fashion. Lifetime Tennis can not guarantee that your court will be playable in time for your league match. Dry courts are allocated first to Park and Recreation programs and then league matches.
In the event that a team wants to cancel a match, full credit will be given if Pleasanton Tennis Park Advanced Group Reservations Coordinator, Cyril Macasero, is notified in writing no less than 8 days in advance. There will be no credit or refund if notice is given less than 8 days in advance.
In the event of rain or cancelled matches, the team captain will arrange a make-up schedule with Cyril Macasero, the Pleasanton Tennis Park advanced group reservation coordinator. The captain is not to "assume" a rain out without first speaking with a member of Lifetime Tennis.
Court usage
The Pleasanton Tennis Park has designated specific time frames and number of courts for various match formats. Teams are expected to complete all warm-ups and matches within the allotted time frames. Beginning with the Jan 2014 season a mandatory 3rd set tie break will be in effect.
In the event that a match extends beyond the group's reserved time, the team captain shall be responsible for clearing the courts so as to allow the next user / group to enjoy their full reservation. The staff of Lifetime Tennis will work with team captains to find other available tennis courts so that the league match(es) may be concluded that same day.
Barring any unforeseen circumstance (i.e. 2 matches on the same day) it is our intention that courts 3, 4 and 5 will be scheduled for all matches played at the Pleasanton Tennis Park.
Courts at Muirwood Community Park may also be used for weekend matches where there are additional courts available for use.
- 3 match leagues (i.e. USTA combo, senior, mixed teams) – given 3 courts for 2.25 hours each for $81/match
- 4 match leagues (i.e. weekday morning B.A.L.L. teams) – given 4 courts for 2.25 hours each for $108/match
- 5 match leagues with 3/2 (i.e. Men's / Women's USTA teams, or CCSL) – given 3 courts for 3 hours each for $108/match
5 match leagues with all 5 at once =given 5 courts for 2.25 hours each for $135/match
Reservation fees
All individual and group advanced reservations are $9 for 45 minutes per court.
Weekday Mid Day $5 for 45 minutes per court = $36/match
Pre-season deadline
The total payment for all home matches is to be remitted to the Lifetime Tennis office no less than 1 week prior to the 1st home match. In addition, the team captain is to provide the tennis office with a roster of players, complete with names, city of residence and phone numbers.
Match amenities
To better enhance your playing experience, Lifetime Tennis will provide scorecards on each of your team's match courts and a refreshment table upon request. Water may be purchased in the office. Wilson US Open tennis balls may also be purchased.

Treasury Wine aims for US renewal after slumpPUBLISHED: 21 Nov 2011 00:02:01 | UPDATED: 21 Nov 2011 07:59:30PUBLISHED: 21 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 21 Nov 2011
Julie-anne Sprague
Treasury Wine Estates chief executive David Dearie says it could be six months before the company reverses a larger than expected slump in US wine sales after a strategy to improve pricing misfired.
Treasury generates half of its earnings in the US and had been repositioning its portfolio to capture growing premium wine sales and reduce the level of promotions in the market to improve margins, but many US retailers simply dumped its brands as a result.
Recent Nielsen statistics, which account for about a quarter of US wine sales, show Treasury's US wine sales fell 7 per cent in the 13 weeks to October 15.
Sales of wine above $9 a bottle jumped 27 per cent in volume and 17 per cent by value, highlighting its shift to premium sales was gaining traction. But the overall slump, driven by its big volume but cheaper brands, has concerned Goldman Sachs analyst Ian Abbott.
"There is a downside risk to our fiscal 2012 forecasts for the Americas," Mr Abbott said. "The ongoing decline in volume and value is negative for Treasury's US revenue growth."
The unexpectedly large fall in US sales has prompted Treasury to review its strategy.
The company will reallocate above-the-line marketing spending such as advertising to below-the-line tactics, including rebates, to regain shelf space but protect margins. But because retailers purchased up to six months ahead of their needs, it would not be until next year before sales improved, Mr Dearie said.
"We walked away from being price competitive," he said. "We lost the shelf space. No matter how much you spend on marketing, if you don't have it on the shelf available for sale it's kind of hard to get sales.
"We are coming back in on competitive pricing. On some brands it's deeper discounting than before and redirecting our spending from above-the-line to below."
Mr Dearie said Treasury wanted to increase its premium wine production and was eyeing vineyards and new grower contacts in the Napa and Sonoma wine regions in California.
In Australia, it was investigating buying vineyards or contracting growers in Tasmania, which Mr Dearie said was becoming an important cool-climate grape region.

Central States Manufacturing Sees Revenue Rise 82 Percent
by James Gordon
Posted 5/21/2007 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Rick Carpenter, president of Central States since the mid-1990s, said the increase in revenue is due to the growing acceptance of metal products in all areas of construction. Central States started out under the leadership of Rick's father, Carl, in 1988 at a small plant in Rogers that produced metal roofing and siding for wood-frame buildings, also called post-frame buildings. Central States later expanded into commercial products for steel-frame buildings.
Having quickly outgrown its original home, Central States moved in 1990 to its current location in Lowell, which was expanded from 15,000 SF to 123,000 SF. Central States also opened additional manufacturing facilities in Michigan City, Ind., in 1997; Cedar Hill, Texas, in 2000; and Jasper, Ala., in October.
Central States also has a small retail division, a 32-truck fleet and a self-storage division that sells complete building packages for mini-storage, boat storage and RV storage buildings.
All told, Central States now has about 2,000 post-frame, commercial, residential and architectural customers in the central United States. Carpenter said that by 2010 he expects to open two new facilities outside of their current service area, possibly in West Virginia, the Carolinas or New England.
Builders are now more willing to use metal, according to Carpenter, because it's often cheaper to build with. Metal is also fire retardant, which is why some insurance companies will give discounts for buildings built with metal products.
Innovations like improved painting systems have also made metal a more attractive building material. Painted metal building products are now more resistant to fading, can have up to 30-year warranties and can lead to energy savings for the finished building.
Cool roof systems, which Carpenter said have evolved in the last five years, include metal panels painted with pigments that reflect enough UV rays to warrant an EnergyStar rating from the federal government. Close to 80 percent of the panels now sold by Central States are painted.
Another innovation is floating roof systems that prevent the leaks that happen when the screw holes on large roof spans expand from heat. Central States' two floating roof systems, Central-Loc and Central Seam Plus, use sliding clips that attach to the roof panels, allowing them to move as they heat and cool.
Carpenter said Central States' employees have stepped up to meet rising market demands. The company's management also deserves some of the credit for setting up incentives for employees to perform.
In 1991, Central States started an employee stock ownership plan. In addition to the federal tax advantages for the company's other owners, the ESOP also gives employees a "larger stake in the outcome of the business and the accumulation of wealth in the company," according to Carpenter.
"We feel like we have been a lot more productive and effective in serving the customers by sharing the ownership with everybody," Carpenter said.
All Central States employees come under the ESOP on the first day of January following their first anniversary of employment. The ESOP will borrow money and buy stock from one of the other shareholders in the company. Every year the company makes contributions to the ESOP, paying down those loans. As the loans are paid down and the principal is reduced, the corresponding shares through that principal are allocated to all the participants in the plan.
Central States' ESOP has a six-year vesting period. The average annual contribution by the company for the last five years is 10 percent of wages. The company's contribution for 2006 was around 8 percent.
Central States is now 37 percent owned by the company's 252 employees, 150 of whom are in Arkansas.
Central States also has an open-book management policy. The company's financial information is made available to all employees at monthly meetings that take place at each location.
"We think it's important for everybody to know the score. If you are going to win the game, we've got to know what the score is and what's influencing the score," Carpenter said.
Central States also gives out to all employees quarterly and annual bonuses that are tied to specific business measurements, like sales goals or quality control. For the quarterly bonuses, employees divide up 6 percent of the company's net income from operations, depending on the number of hours worked by each employee. Annual bonuses are up to 5 percent of an employee's salary, depending on the company's earnings that year.

Despite its humble beginnings as an eBay store, Nasty Gal has been big business for a number of years now. So much so that it looks like they've caught the eye of some big-name investors — including Urban Outfitters. Could a possible buyout be in the works?
In a recent New York Times profile of 28-year-old NastyGal founder Sophia Amoruso, the web entrepreneur let slip that a possible buyout from Urban Outfitters could be in the works. According to the NYT:
Urban Outfitters recently contacted Ms. Amoruso about a potential acquisition, according to people briefed on the discussions. Asked about that, Ms. Amoruso said only, "We're talking."
It's a deal that could make sense for both parties. Nasty Gal could give Urban Outfitters a little street cred, and UP could give the fledgling e-retailer the kind of money, support and infrastructure that only a major corporation can. Although Nasty Gal isn't exactly hurting for money: Last year, the e-commerce site made nearly $128 million in sales and netted close to $100 million. Amoruso also raised close to $50 million from Index Ventures, which had invested in e-commerce sites like Net-a-Porter, Etsy and Asos.
In other words, Amoruso is rolling in it. And, considering her success so far, she certainly knows how to play her cards right all on her own. A shrewd businesswoman, Amoruso spoke of the disconnect between women-run fashion tech startups and the predominantly male venture capitalists she met with, before striking a deal with Index.
"I don't think they got it," she said. "It's this bunch of guys sitting around saying, 'Oh, yeah, let's start a Web site and put Kim Kardashian's face on it.'" [via Fashionista]
So I suppose we'll have to wait and see if Urban Outfitters "gets it." I think a potential buyout could be really good for Nasty Gal, and if it means that I'll be able to try on Nasty Gal pieces without having to wait for them to arrive in the mail, I'm all for it.
What do you think of this potential buy out, Lovelies? Are you surprised?

I nursed DD at Target yesterday and you'd think I had leprosy. No joke, people were avoiding me as much as possible. DS started screaming while we were in the baby section so instead of packing up and leaving or going into the dressing room I took DD to the toy section and let her look around while I nursed DS under my nursing cover. This one lady looked at me and backed out of the aisle. It's not like I had a boob whipped out, I was completely covered. I didn't realize it made others so uncomfortable.
I get that BFing is natural, blah blah blah. But at what other time in our lives is it appropriate to do anything with our boobs in public? I think that's what makes it uncomfortable for people.
I've only NIPed once, at a baby shower, and I had my cover on. But one friend who was sitting near me turned the other way to talk to someone else. My feelings weren't hurt, I understand it can be awkward for people.
I've done it several times, and no longer care if I offend people. It's not like my boob is exposed for everyone to see so I myself do not feel ashamed. I'm just feeding my baby.
The first time I did it was not planned though - I had packed a bottle and it leaked. So, I had no other choice.
Now, I just don't bother with the bottle - can't stand the thought of wasting milk!
I have nursed in restaurants, church, parking lot at church, grocery store parking lots etc. I was really nervous about it at first, but decided I was not going to apologize for using my body the way it was intended to be used. I do use the nursing cover, as a courtesy to others, but if they have a problem because they have conceptualized breast as sexual objects -- that is their problem.
And I figure European women are comfortable being topless for the sake of being topless. I am feeding a baby -- which happens to be the most important thing to me right now, but I am not going to miss a year of my life, by hiding in the bathroom to do it!
(side note I did move to a private room to feed DS at the funeral home since DS can be a noisy eater and I didn?t want to take away from the ceremony and would probably do the same for a wedding or similar situation)
staryeyes:I've lost count of how many restaurants I've nursed DS in, much less parks, stores, airplane & airport, other people's homes, etc. I use my nursing cover, continue whatever conversation I was holding with those around me and get the screaming baby to be quiet. I still don't like it when I feel strangers around me looking at us (unless they're smiling approvingly, which happens), but I am much less anxious about NIP this time, and it's great.
This except I am a first time momma.

Outcome-Based Energy Codes
Our nation's current energy codes include structural and enforcement characteristics that limit the ability to achieve significantly more energy savings in buildings without major changes. Current energy code strategies consider only a limited number of the factors that impact building energy performance. They don't address all those elements of building design and construction that influence performance, and they don't address how buildings use energy once completed.
The way in which a building is occupied, operated and maintained has a major impact on annual energy use, something current codes don't take into account. More importantly, variability of energy performance outcome once the building is completed leads to significant confusion in the market as to just what the code is delivering.
An Outcome-Based Compliance Path for the 2015 IgCC
NBI is working towards adoption of an outcome-based compliance method that would be an alternative option to prescriptive or modeled performance compliance in the 2015 IgCC. Collaborating with the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), Institute of Market Transformation (IMT) and code officials in Colorado, the proposal for the 2015 IgCC will help facilitate both innovation in design and greatly simplify the task of verifying code compliance. Read More
Benefits of an Outcome-Based Code
To better align building performance improvement over time with widely accepted policy goals and public expectations, it will be necessary to move to an outcome-based code strategy, one where the metric by which building performance is judged is the actual energy use. This approach focuses on real and measurable energy performance improvement rather than on the relationship of the buildings' energy characteristics compared to a theoretical building built to a code baseline.
By adopting an outcome-based approach to energy code regulation, operational and tenant energy use characteristics become part of the opportunity for reduced building energy use. In fact, improvements in operational practices and tenant behavior can be highly cost effective, even in the absence of specific code targets.

Report: Sharon Osbourne Attacks Megan Hauserman!by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Megan Hauserman and Sharon Osbourne never got along well during VH1's Rock of Love Girls: Charm School.
Now, according celebrity gossip site TMZ, the LAPD has been called in to investigate a cat fight that took place between the show's host and Hauserman, who reportedly ended up in the hospital as a result of the incident.
During a taping of the Rock of Love Girls: Charm School reunion special Saturday night, Hauserman claims says Osbourne grabbed her by hair and continued to yank and scratch away until security separated the pair. Megan filed a report with the LAPD last night.
Megan Hauserman was on the losing end of a recent battle with Sharon Osbourne.
The reason for the supposed beat down? Sharon's rocker husband, Ozzy.
According to Hauserman, she responded to a crack Sharon made about her by saying Osbourne is only famous for managing a "brain dead rock star." From there, Sharon went off.
Police admit that Sharon is a suspect in a minor battery case, but calls to VH1 and Sharon's management company were not returned.

Sharon didn't attack Megan's family she attacked her, now if Megan would have come back with an insult about SHARON I doubt she would have gone off, BUT the stupid little girl went after Sharon's husband. BAD decision, you can call me any damn thing you want but leave my husband and kids out of it or your ass is grass. A lot of women feel that way and Megan knew the shit she was starting when she went after Sharon's family. BAD CHOICE stupid little blond girl.
Hey BB megan was as wasted
It's about time someone put that big mouth drunk in her place. She's nothing but a girl that has some major drinking problems. Can't someone tell her it's trashy to be on national tv drunk. Rockstar girlfriend...yeah right!!
Megan was so drunk on the show that she shouldn't have been permitted on stage. What a lush she has absolutely no class. The girl has no real career. She's just a reality tv drunk. Now it's time for rehab.
Megan Rocks! I luv her... She makes the sh0w way m0re intresting! HATERZ KEEP HATING! JUST CUZ SHE 0N TV AND U AINT!
I loved watching Sharon kick that little girl's butt! I have been known to do the same thing when someone attacks my husbands character. Megan in my opion has been pushing everyones buttons so that she can have a lawsuit and get some money because the girl has no brain to earn it. Other thing people who say sharon has not done anything but ride her husbands career read a little about her before you go judging her she has done a lot in her life!
BB...what the FOCK are you saying!? I can't make any sense out of your comment!!!
I think megan did the right thing toring sharon off calling her husband this and that there is not big deal at. sharon take stuff in wrong way for no reason beating the contestant on the rock of love reunion is megan. I so shock sharon did to her is so stupid and disrespectful to her it make no difference that sharon is the one got all things in trouble with LAPD will filed charges against sharon she deserve it oh yeah. is sharon fault and the people in people claping at sharon what she did to megan. y'all could laugh your freaks off that's not funny at all to me. I felt bad for megan because I think she is a good people don't matter what they say to her. No human being should not beat on someone is good and right way. megan is a good woman. BB
First of all, I wanted to say that the reunion show...was a hot trash mess!!! No disrespect to Sharon...but, you have to remember a bad action will bring a bad reaction! Sharon forgot, she is not as young as them young ladies she has encountered and that they too have the right to rebuttal with a negative comment!!! If Sharon had some class...she would have never gone there...so, she got her feelings hurt and she went on the attack! I would have had much more respect for Sharon if her comments were tasteful no matter what she thought of the person!!! I have to admit though...
Megan's comeback was...right on time! Oh, but I can't stand the lazy...ho'
megan is a mental case just like her dog. whoever thinks she is so cool well then you need help also. she needed her ass kicked and personaly, i enjoyed watching sharon do it. ha ha megan.

"I ordered this card for my sons baptism in the extra thick paper. Quality is excellent and took only one week to be printed and delivered to Australia. Also was very easy to order online. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and would definitely use them again."
"These cards were perfect for my son's baby dedication service. The scalloped edges are well worth a little extra ! This will be an invitation I cherish for years!"
"I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. This is the first time I order from TinyPrints, but it will definitely not be my last. I was very impressed with the quality of my son's invitation and best of all, I received it 4 days early! Thank you TinyPrints!"
"My son picked out this design and it turned out beautifully. I used the "Ask a designer" option and had the reverse side printed in the same light blue used on the cross. We put his favorite "Guardian Angel" prayer on the back and printed the return address on the envelopes. Elegant and fitting for a very special liturgy for a very special boy!"
"Absolutely beautiful first holy communion card. I received the finally product within a week! Quality is great and colors are vibrant..."

I am going to be a sophomore in college and live in the US. My deepest ambitions is to become a broadway star. Harry Potter is my life and I have been obsessed since 3rd grade.

A Flight to Remember by Liandrin
Rated: 6th-7th Years [Reviews - 8]
Summary: Lily had often wondered why the older boy would go outdoors, alone, when it was raining. Amongst his friends, he was always playing the part of the dashing rogue - a dapper roué who was never without a female companion. If he was so comfortable in the company of others, why then did he seek solace in the rain?
This was a really unexpected pairing, but I very much liked it! Kudos! The couple seems plausable and your writing captures her feeling well. Nice!
Author's Response: I have never written Next-Gen before, so I don't know what the expected pairings are. Is it Scorpius/Rose? Hmm. I'm glad that I made it plausible enough. Lily is a bit of a nutter in this. Heh. Thank you for the review. ^^

attachment for atv. i am interested in an attachment for atv's that let you use a backhoe, forklift etc mounted on your 4 wheeler anyone know what they are called and were to get such a devise?
Hope is something you give yourself in your darkest moments, this is the true meaning of selfreliance.
greetings from the far east of the western world
ATVs are much too light to handle such attachments, a backhoe's weight starts at about 12,000 pounds, forklifts can be as light as 6,000, but they are for very small loads. The equipment must out weigh the load by about a 5 to 1 ratio, otherwise they would be death traps.
If you can read this - thank a teacher. If you can read this in English - thank a veteran.
Never mistake kindness for weakness.
Harbor Freight sells a "mini" backhoe for $3000. For a little more than that you could buy a REAL backhoe on a used tractor.
Most of those ATV atachments dont work nearly as well as the makers claim
Swisher makes a "frame system" that you hook up attachments to.
BIL got the front bucket for his, machine (atv)too light to do any work with it, so took it back.
Mower works pretty well, as well as the snow blade.
thanks folks.
i finally remembered where i had seen it, on the les stroud off the grid thread in country families. so i listened again to the youtube links and heard what he called it, a multimate. a little digging, pun intended, and here is the link to what i was asking about.http://www.norwoodindustries.com/pro...=1034&cID=1006
maybe this could be of benifit to someone.
I think your moniker would be more likely used to describe any work that could be accomplished with that setup. Do not waste your money, buy real tools.
If they can do it,
you know you can!
Hey.....I HAVE a backhoe attachment on my ATV and I do just fine thank you. Easy to make, take a three foot piece of three inch PVC and cap one end. Attach that end down toward the ground and the other end to the "luggage" rack... Insert the handle and you're set. Fits any of the straight handled "mexican backhoes" out there (sharp shooter, round point, flat). You mentioned fork lift....I bet one of the long handled pitch type forks would even fit in there.....
thanks okiedavid
can you elaborate on this, such as what is a mexican backhoe? and how does it work etc.
do you have a link or something?
got me :baby04:
good one

RELEASED: April 9, 2007
EAU CLAIRE — Stressing the importance of good nutrition, the National Youth Sports Program and Upward Bound at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire announce sponsorship of the Summer Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program, funded by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and administered by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, provides nutritious meals to children during the summer, when free and reduced-price school meals are unavailable. Free meals will be made available to eligible children 18 years of age and under. Persons over 18 years of age who are determined by a state or local public educational agency to be mentally or physically disabled and who also participate in a public or private non-profit school program during the regular school year may receive free meals as well.
The following locations will be serving the free meals this summer: National Youth Sports Program, June 12-July 13, in Hilltop Center, and Upward Bound, June 17-July 27, in Davies Center. Meals are provided to eligible children regardless of race, color, national origin, age, gender or disability and there will be no discrimination in the course of meal service.
"This program fills a void created when school lunches are not available," said Thomas Patt, project administrator for the National Youth Sports Program and director of University Recreation and Sport Facilities. "Helping parents meet the nutritional needs of their children is the strength of this program."
To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call 800-795-3272 or 202-720-6382 (TTY). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

EAU CLAIRE — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will host the annual Astronomy Day for the Chippewa Valley from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. May 4 near the north entrance of Phillips Science Hall.
Astronomy Day, which will include displays and activities about astronomy for all ages, is sponsored by the L.E. Phillips Planetarium and the Chippewa Valley Astronomical Society.
Participants will be able to touch authentic rocks from space while visiting the meteorite table, which will include a small display of meteorites on loan from NASA. Free 30-minute planetarium shows will be offered on the hour from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Participants also can examine the sun using a solar-filtered telescope and a radio telescope, and examine hands-on displays that highlight planets, spectroscopy, the scale of the solar system and radioactivity. At noon, participants also can build and launch rockets made from two-liter bottles.
Hobbs Observatory will host public observing of the night sky from 9-11 p.m. May 4, weather permitting. The observatory is located across the road from the Beaver Creek Reserve nature center, four miles north of Fall Creek. Volunteers from the Chippewa Valley Astronomical Society open the telescopes to the public every clear Saturday night from May through October.
Astronomy Day is free and open to the public.
More information about Astronomy Day is available online or by calling the UW-Eau Claire physics and astronomy department at 715-836-3148.

I've always found my attachment to the show and its hosts' on-air personas—David, the cantankerous, panda-bashing contrarian; John, the rambling, poll-loving square; and Emily, the legal expert of many minds and digressions—to be a little weird. So I was glad to find at Antarctica (and later at the 92nd St Y, where there was a sell-out crowd of 250) I am not alone.
At the bar I met Andrew, a 28-year old PhD student in sociology, who compared his relationship to the show to a "friendship.'"And Ross Gottesman, 29, who works in real estate, blogs at brief-wit.com, and has attended cocktail hour with the Gabfesters before (he says he has also sent them headline ideas, including this one). Ross said spending time with the Gabfest hosts is "like seeing a European football star in America. No one recognizes them. But I really respect them for their incisive and interesting conversations."
It's reactions like these that have made podcasts and building communities around them "part of a real strategy at Slate," says Plotz. "We think that this audience and this way of connecting to an audience is incredibly valuable." It was the success of the Political Gabfest that inspired Slate's other podcasts, he says—on sports, culture, women's interests, digital manners, language, and other subjects, with generally smaller but loyal fan bases around them. "We're building distinct communities that are the diamond center of the Slate audience. We know these folks are our best readers and our best fans."
They learn from them too. Plotz says the hosts get lots of ideas for the show and for Slate in exchanges with the live audiences at happy hours and gatherings. They also seem to have fun.
onversations at the cocktail hour ran the gamut: The tall Mormon and Dickerson talked basketball and George Romney; Bazelon discussed her work on bullying and movies that were appropriately non-violent for her son; later Dickerson talked about the logistics of headlines and the prospects for reform of the caucus system.
Interviewing the three Gabfest hosts was a lot like listening to them on air. They joke, interrupt each other, and digress. There is a fluidity to their conversation— they throw out elaborate, organic analogies (see this show, for analogies of Republican candidates to houses)—and share a natural rapport that was established a couple years before the show, when they began working together at Slate.
When the show launched, Dickerson was supposed to host the program alone. Slate's executive editor, Andy Bowers, envisioned a podcast that would feature conversations like those that occur over drinks, not those that broadcasters have on air, and while he had imagined a rotating set of guests, Plotz and Bazelon started out and had such a good time that they "just kept going."
This on-air chemistry explains a lot of the show's following. "I don't think we have the best political analysis in the world," says Plotz. "John is a really good political analyst; Emily is a really great legal analyst; I bring nothing to the table. I didn't realize that the fact that we were friends and the fact that we just sort of bash each other around and be playful with each other is what made the difference." (Throughout the conversation Bazelon and Dickerson rolled their eyes at Plotz's multiple assertions that he was the groups "intellectual weak link.")
The trio says they don't rehearse for the show; they say they do the opposite, by avoiding certain conversations before they go on air (this is unlike the other Slate podcasts, which are more carefully scripted and produced). Dickerson likens Gabfest conversations to story meetings or "puzzling out something" in public. "We all feel very comfortable not being sure of an answer and working things out," adds Bazelon.
Needless to say, this is a much different approach to political punditry than one tends to get on TV and talk radio. (It's also less ideological.) Dickerson thinks Gabfest listeners appreciate that. "Occasionally we'll get people who are angry at us for not having all the facts figured out, but in fumbling to a conclusion, more people appreciate it than are offended. You can kind of rumble around in an idea; you don't have to be so careful about not looking bad or getting something wrong. And it gets you more creative, insightful results."
