Can not say enough about The Branson House. House was beautiful and so comfortable. The owners were so friendly that you felt like you have known them all your life. We were visiting over Thanksgiving and they also prepared a turkey for dinner. They always went out of there way to make our stay very special. I cannot wait to return and visit again. Thank you Carol and Dale for sharing your home with us.

We had a wonderful time at The Branson House last weekend! Dale and Carol are wonderful hosts and really make you feel welcome and at home. I would recommend The Branson House to anyone looking for a great place to get away in Branson! The decor is amazing, the food is amazing and its in a perfect location close to the landing! Can't be beat!

We stayed at the Branson House for my husband's birthday. Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The food was great each morning and they even made us treats and had snacks throughout the day. Dale and Carol are very inviting and so sweet to talk to. We can't wait to come stay with you all again, Thank you for having us!

We stayed here for six days, May 28-June 2, 2014, in the President's Room. It was our first visit to Branson. We loved The Branson House Inn and Branson! What a wonderful place to visit-the town and the bed and breakfast. We highly recommend both. Dale and Carol were so nice, and they went out of their way to make sure that we had a good time. Dale cooked the most delicious breakfast each morning, and we had such a big breakfast each day that we skipped lunch and just ate supper. The Branson House Inn is the place to stay in Branson. We hope to make another trip to Branson, and we will stay with Dale and Carol at The Branson House Inn. Thank you so much for a delightful time!

My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and it was a great experience. The owners are very nice and the food was delicious! We walked to the Landing to eat and shop. We would recommend this place and will visit again!

My husband and I have stayed at several bed & breakfast but The Branson House rises to the top. Dale and Carol are great hosts and made us feel right at home from the minute we arrived. They also willingly accommodated my gluten free needs. Our room and bed were clean and most comfortable. Their house is in a peaceful setting yet close to the Branson attractions. You will not go wrong by staying with Dale and Carol at The Branson House.

This was my husband's first time staying in a bed and breakfast and he absolutely loved it. Dale and Carol are great!!!!!! We stayed in the Payne Stewart room and the pictures do not do it justice. It was the best night sleep ever. I would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back.

Our first contact with the Branson House was an anxious call to our hosts letting them know that we had misjudged our travel time and would be arriving late. Carol and Dale Coursey told us not to worry or hurry in a manner both welcoming and sincere. We knew even before our arrival to this B&B that we had picked a winner. Entering the Branson House was a treat to the senses: delicious smells of home cooking, a plate of freshly baked cookies to appease our hunger, a beautiful kitchen with brick floor and exquisite cabinetry, appealing furnishings of substance and character... tasteful elegance in a spacious, beautifully restored house. The icing on the cake though was the Courseys themselves. Warm, genuine and attentive they immediately made us feel at home. We stayed in the Honeymoon suite and fell in love with its design and comfort. The sheets on our king sized bed were ultra soft and smelled like heaven. The whirlpool tub situated in its own alcove provided a relaxing water massage. We slept well on a mattress that was comfortable and provided excellent back support. Everything was immaculately clean. The following morning we were treated to one of Dale Coursey's yummy hearty breakfasts. Fresh natural ingredients, perfectly prepared eggs, fruit, meat and breads in abundance left us well fed and fully satisfied. Dale joined us for breakfast and his easy conversation and perfect manners set the tone for lively exchanges between visiting guests. We enjoyed the company of our fellow lodgers as much as the food. Afterwards Dale got us front row tickets to a popular show which we wanted to see and helped us plan our activities with suggestions and directions. Our Branson experience was much enhanced by his local knowledge and experience. A trip back to the Branson House is already in our plans.

My husband and I stayed at the Branson House during the busy Memorial Day holiday. Dale and Carol made us feel more like we were staying with friends or family than at an inn. The food and service were great! Dale and Carol were both very accommodating and helpful in any way they possibly could be. This will definitely become our place to stay when we go to Branson!

We were totally blown away by every part of our stay at this fabulous B &B. We were able to stay in the President's Suite. The suite was exquisitely decorated. thoroughly clean and inviting. We found the spacious suite very comfortable and slept quite well in the king size bed. Then Dale, the owner, fixed a delicious breakfast to start our day. We highly recommend this B&B and the owners are absolutely the best.

We recently spent the weekend in Branson for a pre-Christmas getaway. After hours of searching online for the right B&B for us, we immediately chose to stay at The Branson House due to its charm, history, location and price. I am so happy to say that we had a very pleasant experience which exceeded all of our expectations! The innkeepers were amazingly hospitable and went out of their way to ensure we had an exceptional experience. We had such a wonderful time, we booked the entire house for my upcoming 50th birthday weekend in April with our immediate family. We want to share this wonderful experience with them as well. I guarantee we will return to The Branson House for our overnight accommodations every time we visit Branson. We are making plans to visit Branson more frequently now largely due to The Branson House. Dale and Carol made us feel special and part of the family! We highly recommend The Branson House for your B&B experience in Branson! You will want to keep going back as well! Charming house, beautiful decor, spacious and quiet rooms, wonderful outdoor amenities, warm cookies in the evening, cute house dog, luxury linens, hearty breakfast, great innkeepers, all at an exceptional price! You can't go wrong...you won't be disappointed. The Martin's

I was quite pleasantly surprised to find this superb B&B in the downtown Branson area. It is within walking distance of the new lifestyle mall -Branson Landing, and it conveniently located off of Route 76 and Freeway 65. For me- it was the PERSONAL ATTENTION that I received from the owners - Dale and Carol. These owners really are their to welcome you to their home and engage you in conversation; they're not hidden in some other area of the house! I enjoyed brealkfast, but I just enjoyed chatting with both of them and making my visit so personal. My room on the second floor was comfortable was well appointed and I liked the bedding! While there are tons of accomodations in Branson, this was the RIGHT place, in the RIGHT location, for the RIGHT PRICE, with the greatest host and hostess! DEFINITELY A STRONG RECOMMEND from me - a frequent traveller.

I was looking for a place to stay in the Branson area to celebrate my fiance's birthday. We usually stay at the hilton, but I wanted to try something different. We have stayed at many bed and breakfasts and always like to try new places. I ran across The Branson House and luckily they had just had a cancelation and were able to let us stay in the Presidents suite. The room was gorgeous. The decor was amazing. Dale and Carol were the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They were readily available for anything we needed and were so friendly and enjoyable to visit with. The breakfast was huge and tasted great. There was a never ending supply of cookies, soda and bottled water at our disposal. The location was great, and was in walking distance of the landing. I cant imagine staying anywhere else in Branson after this experience. This will be our lodging destination for Branson from now on.

I had never stayed at a B&B before. My wife booked a night for us to celebrate our two year anniversary. The breakfast was fantastic! French toast, bacon, eggs (as you wanted them cooked) and fresh fruit. We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite. Everything was amazing clean and Dale and Carol were awesome! Gave us ideas on what to do and where to go. We will for sure stay here again! If you stay make sure to buddy up with Rosco, it wont be too hard.

My boyfriend Chris and I just spent a weekend at the Branson House B&B! We planned a much needed getaway for the 2 of us and were looking for a clean, non traditional B&B. When we saw the pics of the Branson House, we thought this is it! I don't like the feel of traditional B&B's where you feel like you are staying in grandma's attic. The Branson House is very clean, smells fantastic, beds are so comfortable, and breakfast was abundant and delicious! The Coursey's Branson House is so comfortable and inviting! I hope you all enjoy staying at the Branson House!

The Branson House is lovely. My husband and I enjoy staying in B&B's and The Branson House tops them all. Their summer special is such a fabulous deal! Dale and Carol took fabulous care of us (making sure we had all we needed, that we had our show tickets, discussed local restaurants, etc) and were wonderful company. The house itself is beautifully decorated. The exterior has the charm of an historic old home, while the interior is all new, luxurious, and sparkling clean. Breakfast is bountiful and delicious. We are thrilled to have spent two peaceful nights at The Branson House and plan to return every chance we get!

This was our first time at a bed and breakfast. Carol and Dale do such an outstanding job making you feel at home. The food was great, our time very relaxing. We will be returning again everytime while staying in Branson.

Spent six days in Branson and thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations and service at The Branson House. Dale is a most gracious and informative host. Breakfasts were tasty and huge! Location is convenient to the old town and Landing. Hope to be able to get a reservation on any return trip to Branson.

We just got back from a weekend with two other couples (family) in Branson. We have stayed at many B&Bs and our stay at the Branson House Inn will be remembered as one of the best! Very clean and comfortable inn with perfect decor, great food, and the most friendly and engaged "inn keepers" Dale and Carol. WOW - no detail was overlooked. Along with all of that, a great value. We are already looking forward to another stay in the near future. We don't know of another place like it near Branson and would highly recommend the Branson House Inn to others.

We chose The Branson House for our stay in Branson to celebrate our First Wedding Anniversary. We were so pleased with our room, the Branson House facility, and especially the proprietors, Dale and Carol. Their warmth, excellent service, and attention to detail meant our stay was absolutely perfect!

This was out first experience at staying at a B&B. We stayed at the Branson House to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We were impressed from the moment we walked in the door. Dale and Carol are great host. We enjoyed meeting and talking with them. We had privacy when we wanted it and also had unlimited access to the very comfortable and stylish common areas. The food was excellent, including breakfast and the freshly baked cookies and pies in the kitchen. We had the honeymoon suite, located on the first floor, and enjoyed all the amenities within the suite. We will be returning to the Branson House on our next trip to Branson.

Booked this on a recommendation - sight unseen - from a friend. Owe him a big thanks. Celebrated our 35th anni. New, roomy, comfortable, friendly (guests and innkeepers!) and good value. Close to the Landing (downhill both ways!) Breakfast will last you all day! Only two drawbacks - picky to mention but no closet or place to hang clothes in one unit and bathroom sink is pretty high making shaving etc. slightly awkward. But nothing to keep me from going back.
5 en octubre 03, 2011
Beautiful rooms and very spacious. Breakfasts were incredible! Two relaxing outdoor terraces in the backyard, one with a fireplace. Romantic, yet "homey". Dale and Carol were knowledgeable about the shows & town and were like family by the time we left. This is definitely the place to stay in Branson! We will be returning!
5 en octubre 03, 2011
My husband and I loved our stay at The Branson House! We were welcomed warmly to the beautifully appointed Inn. Dale and Carol treated us like family, casual and comfortable but not intrusive. We had privacy when we wanted it and company when we wanted it. The rooms are gorgeous, like being in an Inn in the Italian countryside. They always had home cooked pastries available and breakfast was a sumptuous feast. I can't wait to go back!

What a wonderful time I had staying at The Branson House. The owners Dale and Carol are wonderful and made us feel so welcome. Little puppy Roscoe was so sweet. The rooms and grounds are beautiful. I could have sat for hours on the front porch. The location is perfect. Each morning Dale prepared an amazing breakfast. I already miss The Branson House and look forward to my next visit

This was our first experience with a bed and breakfast and I have to admit, we had our doubts. We had heard bed and breakfasts were more for the older crowd and we probably wouldn't like it. Well, they were wrong! We absolutely loved it! The Branson House was gorgeous! Very modern and up to date! Our room was fabulous! It had a huge king size bed with a jacuzzi tub and our own restroom. The innkeepers, Dale and Carol, were so friendly and welcoming! We were shocked to hear they were new in the bed and breakfast business! The inn was close to everything and very convenient. We very much enjoyed our experience and will most definitely be going back very soon! Thank you Dale and Carol for such a great stay! The Sims (stayed in July 2011)

From the moment we walked in, we felt like we were home. The Branson House is a beautiful B & B. Dale did an excellent job refurbishing the house. Large, clean rooms and very quiet. Dale and Carol make you feel very comfortable. Breakfast is a real treat. Dale is an excellent cook. You will not get up from the table hungry. Dale also makes baked goods for guests to snack on through out the day. The out door patio, with fire place, is a nice place to start or end your day. Branson House is 5 blocks from The Landing, with easy access to all shows on the Branson strip. Dale and Carol are great hosts. They really make you feel welcomed in their home. We will visit Branson again and you can bet we will stay at the Branson House. Randy and Cherie

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with beautiful surroundings and a wonderful host. It is a peaceful place off the beaten path, so many comfortable furnishings and the owner made every effort to make you feel "at home". We loved all the stories about the each room and remoded of the house. Down to earth owner and a fabulous breakfast. Would definitely recomend it and go back again.

We just got back from a weekend stay at The Branson House and it was wonderful. Far exceeded our expectations. Can't wait to go back again. Dale and Carol were so nice! Thanks for making our anniversary weekend a memorable experience!

The rooms are not the "Victorian" Bed and Breakfast rooms. They are updated,comfy, spacious, sparkling clean. Crown molding, huge beds, beautiful shutters on the windows, comfy chairs in the room-it has it all. The owners make you feel very welcome to do as you please-chocolate chip cookies at any time, and a breakfast that would satisfy anyone-the day we were there was pork chops, scrambled eggs, hash browns, biscuits, fruit, cheese, orange juice and coffee. I would definitely go back!

Branson house is the best place to stay in Branson. The innkeepers are friendly and fantastic cooks! The decor is breathtaking and the quality gives life to this 85 year old home. Beautifully renovated, this house is just up the hill from Branson Landing. A quick car ride away from Lake Taneycomo and just one block off the Main street. Fantastic view of Independence day fireworks at the landing. This bed and breakfast far exceeded my expectations through great food, delightful company, and the general sense of feeling right at home when I walked in the door. Plan on staying at this Inn again soon!

The Host has traveled the world to bring back spectacular furniture and has put in the latest up-to-date bathrooms. Every room has an "Oh Look At This" piece or pieces! Beautiful staircase and all hardwood floors. Have only had the B&B finished a short time and there are a few things that still have to be added in the rooms but they will get there. They have showers in all the rooms and could use at least one tub/shower combination room to choose from. They are great people and want to please! No place for a pool outside, maybe a water slide, LOL. Would like to see a hottub eventually. They sit at the top of the hill over 'The Landing' so it is very close but sure wouldn't want to walk back up that hill! It is just a short drive to great shopping and restaurants. Right off the main highway so easy drive to get to all shows, just join the parade of cars. Great breakfasts and flexible with the serving time. Accessible refrig full of water and soda. Soon it will be a perfect B&B.

We were looking for something off the main strip in Branson, but still conveniently located to everything we might want to do during our stay. The Branson House was perfect! This beautiful bed and breakfast was a stone's throw from the Branson Landing and a short drive from our show, and yet we felt like we were in the country under the gorgeous shade trees which surround the property. We sat under the shade trees in the morning drinking our coffee and listening to the peaceful sounds of nature around us. The innkeepers, Dale and Carol, were gracious hosts and supplied a delicious breakfast that was "to die for" at the large dining table. The room was immaculately clean, and everything looked exceptional and had the feeling of a home. It was an exceptional value and we will definitely stay here again when we visit Branson! This is a place that you can go to "get away" and be made to feel like family. Thank you Dale and Carol for a memorable weekend! See you soon!

Ozzie switching Sox' lineup, but Dunn will start off batting third
By daryl van schouwen firstname.lastname@example.com February 27, 2011 10:56PM
GLENDALE, AZ - FEBRUARY 26: Alex Rios #51 of the Chicago White Sox poses for a photo on photo day at Camelback Ranch on February 26, 2011 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images) R:\Merlin\Getty_Photos\GYI0063696846.jpg
Updated: June 12, 2011 4:45AM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — It's a good thing his spot in the batting order doesn't matter one iota to White Sox center fielder Alex Rios. Manager Ozzie Guillen's announced lineup for today's Cactus League opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Camelback Ranch had Rios in the No. 3 hole Sunday morning. A couple of hours later, Guillen switched and dropped Rios down to fifth.
"I don't mind; I've never had a preference,'' Rios said. "I could hit ninth, seventh or first, and it would all be the same to me.''
Guillen has gone back and forth about his lineup ever since slugger Adam Dunn signed a free-agent contract and Paul Konerko and A.J. Pierzynski re-signed. At SoxFest, he said he preferred Dunn third, followed by Konerko and Rios. Then he changed his mind at the start of camp. On Sunday, it was back to Dunn third to give him more at-bats during spring training. By his own admission, Dunn is a slow starter.
''I want to protect Adam and PK with Rios,'' Guillen said, ''and I can do a lot of things there. Rios can still run the bases and stuff, and A.J. can hit-and-run with [Carlos] Quentin. We can do a lot of things with them.
''I'm just going to start with Dunn batting third in the order and see how it works.''
Pencils and scorecards ready . . .
Today's order: Juan Pierre LF, Gordon Beckham 2B, Adam Dunn DH, Paul Konerko 1B, Alex Rios CF, Carlos Quentin RF, A.J. Pierzynski C, Alexei Ramirez SS, Brent Morel 3B. Gavin Floyd will pitch an inning or two and will be followed by Jeff Gray, Miguel Socolovich, Lucas Harrell, Brandon Hynick, Tony Pena, Will Ohman and Jhonny Nunez.
Pitchers scheduled for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers are Mark Buehrle, Phil Humber, Sergio Santos, Chris Sale, Josh Kinney, Matt Thornton and Jesse Crain.
You know you'rea redneck...
When you sit on the end of the Sox spring training clubhouse in what's know as "Redneck row." From left to right: Buehrle, John Danks, Jake Peavy, (Vizquel), Adam Dunn, Matt Thornton. With the exception of Vizquel, who is clearly out of his element, all are either hunters, own guns or are from the South. Not suprisingly, the NASCAR drivers who visited the clubhouse Saturday caused the biggest commotion on their end of the room.
Sunday's intrasquad game was called off because of wet grounds from overnight rain. The forecast for today is sunny and temps in the 60s.
The quote
"Mark, the second half of the season he tailed down a little bit. We have to protect him. How, we'll see. I got to talk to [GM] Kenny [Williams] about it.''
— Guillen, on Opening Date starter Mark Buehrle, who has logged 30 starts and 200 innings in each of the last 10 seasons.
Gordon Beckham's current weight, after finishing 2010 at around 187. "I am definitely a lot stronger than I was last year,'' Beckham (right) said. "I want to be as prepared as I can be for another season. I never played the game at around 200 pounds, so this is good. I figured if I got a little bigger, I could do a few more things.''
Beckham wants to steal more bases (he had four in 10 attempts last season), so he's hanging around MLB stolen-base leader Juan Pierre to learn something about the art of the steal. Ozzie Guillen wants Beckham to run more, and he prefers him batting second instead of Alexei Ramirez or A.J. Pierzynski because he wants to turn Ramirez loose on driving in runs rather than "small-ball" duties such as bunting and hitting behind the runner.
Number of players who agreed to contracts, announced Sunday. All are under the Sox' control. The list includes 2B Gordon Beckham, IF-OF Brent Lillibridge, 3B Brent Morel and pitchers Chris Sale and Sergio Santos. Also signed: C Tyler Flowers, IF Eduardo Escobar, OFs Alejandro De Aza and Stefan Gartrell and pitchers Anthony Carter, Kyle Cofield, Freddy Dolsi, Lucas Harrell, Gregory Infante, Nate Jones, Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez. All are on the 40-man roster for 2011.
Age in years of small Rawlings being used by Omar Vizquel, an 11-time Gold Glove winner. "It's been sitting in the trunk of my car for a long time,'' Vizquel said. It's not his gamer, though. Vizquel has one ready to go after breaking it in during the last month of 2010.

Western Washington storm produces inch of rain, 5,900 lightning strikeson September 4, 2013 @ 3:40 pm (Updated: 2:58 pm - 9/6/13 )
KING 5 meteorologist Lisa Van Cise says an inch of rain was recorded at Sea-Tac Airport on Thursday. The previous rainfall record for the day was set in 1984 at .03 inches.
Dustin Guy with the National Weather Service told KIRO Radio that between 4 a.m. on Thursday and 4 a.m. on Friday, there were 5,900 lightning strikes across Western Washington.
"It's really hard to give an estimate of what's typical for lightning strikes. Let's just say that 5,900 is a large number for us, when most days we see none," says Guy. Any day when we see more than one, he says, it's pretty significant.
A flood watch has been called off for Western Washington. It was originally planned to last through Friday at 6 p.m.
There is also concern over extra water on the roadways, especially near streams. Mud or rock slides are also possible.
The Washington State Department of Transportation says the North Cascades Highway (SR 20) is closed between mileposts 147 and 171 for mudslides through at least the weekend.
Heavy rains caused sewer overflows in Everett. Signs have been posted at outfall locations on the Snohomish River and Port Gardner Bay warning people to avoid contact with the water.
Forecasters say summer weather should return with highs in the 70s Saturday through Monday.

Living Architecture just unveiled the first images of its next installment in a series of iconic works of architecture that will be built and then rented to tourists – and it's by far the strangest yet. Designed by renowned artist Grayson Perry with help from the London-based FAT Architecture, the double-story timber fantasy house was originally rejected by Essex's town council. The "House in Essex" has since been approved, and it will be packed with Perry's own visceral artwork – but it gets even more curious than that.
Architecturally, the quadruple gabled dwelling takes inspiration from the surrounding timber-framed houses in Essex, where Perry was raised. But the artist has added a few extras that are deliberately eccentric. All of the murals, tapestries, timber work and mosaic floors will act as a kind of shrine to a woman named Julie, who doesn't actually exist.
Upon entering, there is a small foyer that leads to three formal spaces that then spill out into a double story atrium. Two bedrooms on the second floor have balconies, and there a bathtub hangs over the downstairs' entryway! Once it is completed in 2014, visitors will be able to visit House in Essex for roughly $375 per night.

Back then I was unsuccessfully sitting exams (it was the 1990 World Cup, after all) but even I remember flicking the hair out of my eyes long enough to catch a glimpse of what was the fastest production bike in the world. I wanted one, and I wanted one badly.
Time moved on, as did I, and I finally managed to get two summers' riding on a ZZ-R1100 in 1998. Even after a year on the better Honda Blackbird I was still knocked out by the sheer silky smooth speed generated by that turbine of a motor. Today a ZZ-R1100 represents a great modern-classic buy. I'm tempted with turning back the clock and splashing the cash on one. The machine from our main test would cost you just £1300.
As you may have noticed, I'm not 'acting' anymore (although some people say that's all I do.) I'm chuffed to be at the helm of CMM at an exciting time in its development and I'm hoping you, the readers, will tell me what you want to see in the magazine. It does need to reflect what's happening out there and to that end, I will be getting out and about at shows, track days and autojumbles to soak up the scene. So, if you see me out, nudge me awake and I may just share the contents of my thermos flask with you. Pip pip!

Alias, Siti Noormi and Ismail, Maimunah and Mohd. Rasdi, Roziah (2011) An innovative strategy in community development through corporate social responsibility: practices and outcomes. In: 10th International Conference of the Academy of HRD (Asia Chapter), 3-6 Dec. 2011, InterContinental, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Restricted to Repository staff only
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an innovative strategy in developing community resources in Malaysia. This article reports on results of a study on CSR practices and outcomes. The practices are examined based on orientations of the CSR implemented by corporations in community development particularly on living standards, education, and health of the community. These community development components are adopted from the Human Development Report (HDR) indices. CSR orientations are defined by adopting Carroll's (1991) conceptualization of CSR, which includes economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic responsibilities. The outcomes are examined through relationships between the CSR orientations and community development components. A structured 7-likert scale questionnaire was used to gather data from 204 respondents. The data showed significant positive relationship between CSR orientations with the living standards and education of the sample. The results also show significant positive relationship between legal and philanthropic CSR orientations with respondents' health component. The legal responsibility becomes the utmost priority, followed by the philanthropic, economic and ethical responsibility. Implications to CSR practices and research are put forth.

This is the second of three documentaries made about Shelly West (Michelle Belesarius) who was crippled as a child by rheumatoid arthritis and blind from age 19. Against all odds — and medical advice — Shelly is pregnant; but she is all determination as doctors work through how her "tiny, twisted, little frame" will cope with the demands of pregnancy. An audience of 600,000 watched this doco with its compelling scenes as the cameras kept rolling while Shelly nearly died during childbirth, and her newborn daughter was whisked away to intensive care.

So far we've seen many examples of kitchen utensils being repurposed into customized, low-tech and eco-friendly objects – but these gorgeous colander light shades by New York-based designer Nadia Belalia bring a special steampunk sensibility. Inspired by the "abundance and rawness" of industrial material in the New York, she created the series of lighting fixtures which combine the strength of metal with soft oval forms. Belalia's lamps are currently on display at this year's ICFF in New York.
New York-based designer Nadia Belalia has taken upcycling a notch higher and created elegant lighting fixtures which look both industrial and organic. The result is a soft perforated shade which adds in the diffusion of the glare of light. All you need to do is put in a LED light bulb and you got yourself a piece of high design made with low-tech materials. Besides pendants, her lighting design also includes scones, floor and table lamps and chandlers.

A World Oil Magazine Supplement
Home base to the Gulf of Mexico
Limpet Technology of Edinburgh, Scotland, has designated Delta Rigging & Tools as the primary distributor for its uniquely engineered Limpet Fall Protection and Climb Assist technology.
Europe, Industry Overview
A recently imposed federal regulation that compels operators to plug and abandon wells is expanding opportunities for service companies in the decommissioning sector of the Gulf of Mexico market.
North America, Offshore
Louisiana officials are working to overcome the latest federal denial of funds to rebuild the deteriorating highway that links Port Fourchon to the rest of the state, even though the Department of Homeland Security has declared the road critical to the nation's energy security.
Two years after the Macondo accident, and 18 months after the federal moratorium that it spurred was lifted, the Gulf Economic Survival Team finds itself working as hard as ever to speed up an excruciatingly slow offshore well permitting process.
For more than 15 years, Gulf of Mexico operators have soundly embraced Proline Systems' HSE-friendly approach to the delivery and handling of drilling fluids offshore. However, the New Iberia, La., company recently received a most unlikely endorsement, from none other than Hall of Fame, NFL quarterback Terry Bradshaw.
After surviving hurricanes, a recession and the Macondo moratorium, Louisiana's Port Fourchon has a bright future ahead, expanding its role as the home base of Gulf of Mexico deepwater activity.
North America, Deepwater
As anyone even remotely involved in the offshore oil and gas industry can certainly attest, it has been a challenging couple of years, to say the least. Like most of these businesses, Port Fourchon made the adjustments necessary to deal with a climate filled with uncertainties. Today, however, all the signposts suggest that we have turned the corner, and that the Gulf of Mexico is returning to the business of exploring for, producing, and servicing oil and gas.
The Greater Lafourche Port Commission's Fourchon Beach Repair and Renourishment Project received a major boost in March 2012, thanks to a $500,000 donation by Shell Oil Co. on behalf of its Mars B Deepwater Platform Project.

Tickets for annual Taste of the Town go on sale Monday
On Aug. 20, 44 food and drink choices will be under one roof.
Tickets will be available Monday for Hospice of the Piedmont's annual Taste of the Town. This year's event will be "Celebrating 25 Years of Tastes."
The event lets attendees stroll between local restaurants, caterers and beverage vendors, sampling many kinds of food at once.
In addition to food and drink, the event features a disc jockey and a silent auction. Items up for bid include gift baskets, furniture and golf outings.
Entry tickets can be bought at any High Point Bank location.
Each entry ticket is $10 and includes three food tickets. Additional food tickets are $1 each. Entry is free for children under 6.
Tickets shouldn't sell out because of the large venue, said Mary Leslie English, the marketing associate with Hospice. She encouraged buying early, though, in order to avoid waiting in line.
The event benefits Hospice of the Piedmont, a nonprofit that works to provide care for patients with life-limiting illnesses and grief support for loved ones.
English said she is glad for the support that generated the event's longevity.
"We have almost 200 volunteers help us, so I think that speaks to the importance of the event also," she said.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Palin doc 'The Undefeated' plays here
"The Undefeated," the admiring documentary about Sarah Palin, will play at the AMC Mayfair Mall 18, starting Friday.
The trailer suggests the film resembles the sort of biography video prepared on behalf of political candidates.
Palin herself is little heard from during the trailer, which is posted below, but multiple supporters - like Andrew Breitbart - make statements like "she runs toward danger" in what look to be interviews conducted in a studio setting. »Read Full Blog Post

"The Undefeated", was that for quitting her term as governor half way through, or making sure McCain lost in '08? How about "Quitter", or "Smart as Yogurt" as a title?
Undefeated? I seem to recall a defeat. This women just CAN'T STOP
LYING. No surprise - she is GOP.
Palin=liberals unraveled
just mentioning the name Palin angers people like thomasdecker.
Palin=conservatives overstimulated
Wow, do the producers of this propaganda piece realize that old white right wingnuts that would patronize this dreck are scared to death of Mayfair because (gasp) people of color go there??
The full title should be "Undefeated Quitter".
They will no doubt use the imaginary packs of feral teens as an excuse as to why only 26 people will pay to this bit of cinema over the next week.
Isn't there a theater in Waukesha County that would show this?
Unreal. When did AMC get into peddling political propaganda?
I consider myself a conservative republican; however, after viewing The Undefeated in California over the weekend, I now believe that Casey Anthony would defeat Palin if both were running. Our party is in a state of decay with no statesmen representing us anymore.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- The Tennessee Valley Authority claims its network of dams and reservoirs prevented more than $800 million in flood damage along the Tennessee River and its tributaries last month.
The energy giant said it's 49 dams stored and slowly released water following the third-wettest January in its history. The eastern part of the valley received around 10 inches of rain, while about eight inches fell in the Chattanooga area and west Tennessee.
"We hold water behind the dams in order to minimize downstream flood impacts. After the high water crested on the Tennessee River and its tributary rivers, we started gradually releasing water out of the tributary reservoirs to recover storage space and to prepare for the next rain event," said John McCormick, senior vice president, River Operations and Renewables.
In the Chattanooga region alone, TVA estimates it was able to prevent over $700 million in damages. Cleanup in Lenoir City would've run more than $61 million, according to TVA numbers, while Knoxville would've been hit to the tune of $7 million.
In an average year, the TVA's reservoir operation prevent around a quarter-billion dollars in flood damage the TVA estimates.

From Nevada Department of Wildlife
-- Women who are new to the world of outdoor sports, as well as those who are still on the outside looking in, will have a chance to get their feet wet at a "Women in the Outdoors" workshop Saturday, Oct. 4, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The event is sponsored by the Las Vegas chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, with the Nevada Department of Wildlife as co-host, and will be held at the Spencer Kimball Boy Scout Reservation just outside of Las Vegas near Mt. Potosi.
Women are discovering that hobbies such as camping, hiking, fishing, kayaking, hunting, shooting, and bird watching are fun ways to reconnect with the special people in their lives. Oftentimes women - especially those who live in urban areas - don't have the opportunity to learn about the outdoors.
So the National Wild Turkey Federation sponsors daylong events throughout the U.S. and Canada where women can receive expert instruction and have the chance to try a variety of outdoor activities. These events offer women a relaxed, noncompetitive environment where they can try something new.
Early bird registration is $50 per person if postmarked by Aug. 30 and $60 thereafter. A mother and daughter duo can get in for $80, but the daughter must be 14 to 17 years old. Participants must register no later than Sept. 20.
Registration forms can be obtained online at www.womenintheoutdoors.org/wito/eventPDFs/280011.pdf or by calling Wendy Andersen, 951-600-9268; Jessica Johnson, 702-204-8127; or Margie Klein, 702-486-5127 x 3502.
Participants may attend their choice of four classes and will receive lunch and use of equipment required to participate in their chosen classes. They will also receive a one-year membership to the Women in the Outdoors program and a one-year subscription to the magazine of the same name.
Participants will have their choice of approximately 16 workshops taught by volunteers and staff from the Nevada Department of Wildlife, as well as talented members of the outdoor sporting community.
Subjects include archery, camping, canoeing, Dutch oven cooking, fishing, introduction to hunting, shotgun shooting, wildlife identification and more. In addition, there will be a silent auction and raffle for some great outdoor gifts.
Kimball Boy Scout Reservation is located at 10877 Mt. Potosi Canyon Road, 20 minutes west of Las Vegas on Highway 160, also known as Blue Diamond Road, en route to Pahrump.
Outdoor enthusiasts can check the NDOW Sportsmen's Calendar at www.ndow.org/about/calendar for additional events.

A gorgeous interview with my dearest, Deborah Reed. The photos (including one with, ahem, yours truly, and what she says about the apple-and-Mounds Bar lunches is absolutely true) are dynamite, including this one of Deborah shooting like the seasoned frontierswoman she figuratively and sort of literally is.
And then there's this, when asked if she has any advice for up-and-coming writers:
Write through the crap. And I mean the daily crap, not just the crap you think you're up against when you first start out. Don't be so hard on yourself. It's all crap in those first drafts. But if you don't write it because you don't want to see crap on the page, because seeing it there makes you feel like you're not "good enough" then you will eventually become a self-fulfilling prophecy of not good enough because you will never get to the good stuff. Shut up and trust me on this. It's like any art—sculpture, painting, music, it's all the same. It doesn't arrive fully formed. You have to shape and reshape and throw out and start over again and again before the finished piece appears. Work hard. Talent and putting in the hours are two different things, though putting in the hours hones the talent so they work hand in hand. Now get to work and stop reading interviews about other writers writing.

Dealing with homesickness.
It snot very hard.
At the age of 16, I already felt angry, cynical, and old.
On being a perpetual kid.
One of them makes you a jerk, the other makes you awesome.
Heavy shit, man.
Oh, the joys of other people.
Why it's absolutely necessary that you break your parents' hearts.
The main thing is that someone had their first kiss.

"How do you know?
I remember my days back in the corporate world (HR) that it was all but understood that roughly 25% of all employees were severely under-performing. And 10% were all but out the door and set to be fired! I also remember working with a lot of different types of people. Some were educated and smart, some were educated and, well, not so smart. Some were un-educated but smart as hell.
Shouldn't we then assume that, even though all doctors are educated that at least a certain percentage of them just aren't very good at their job?"…(continue reading).
