Iowa High School and Scholastic Clay Target Program Approaches 1 Million Targets in 2012
Posted: 06/12/2012
One of Iowa's fastest growing team sports concluded its fifth season June 2, when more than 900 athletes matched skills in the High School State Trap Championships in Cedar Falls.
The number of boys and girls participating in shooting sports increased 28 percent in 2012 versus 2011, with nearly 1,800 shooters and 300 volunteer coaches registered with the DNR.
The program has experienced exponential growth every year since its inception with no signs of slowing down, said Ben Berka, shooting sports coordinator for the DNR.
"School officials tell me that many of the student-athletes out for clay target shooting are not out for other, traditional sports. The same academic standards and good conduct policies are applied to the shooting program which strengthens the entire student body," Berka said.
Of the 71 shooting teams registered with the DNR, most are affiliated with their school as a club program, many earning varsity letters for clay target shooting achievements.
"Volunteer coaches are the backbone of this program and the main reason the program has been so successful," Berka said.
Teams competed in 241 sanctioned matches, fired upon 821,600 targets in competition and nearly 2 million targets in practice.
Skeet and sporting clays state SCTP championships were held May 19-20 at the New Pioneer Clay Target Center, with teams from Oskaloosa, Des Moines and Pella taking top honors.
The SCTP state trap championship was June 1 in Cedar Falls with teams from Pella, Fort Madison, Spirit Lake/Okoboji area, Cedar Rapids Prairie, and Des Moines area taking top honors.
The high school trap championships closed out the season with a new state team record being set by 1st Place team, Mason City firing a 479 out of 500 targets. Complete results can be found at:
Many of these teams will travel to the SCTP national tournament in Sparta, Ill., in July.
Iowa corporate program sponsors for 2012 include Midway USA, Scholastic Shooting Trust, Brownells, Manning's Truck Brokerage, Pella Security Products, Inc., Pheasants Forever – Iowa State Council, Whitetails Unlimited, New Pioneer Clay Target Center, Chantland MHS, and Pheasants Forever – Scott County Chapter.
Top sponsoring Midway USA provided $2,000 to each team participating in a state championship event to the school's Scholastic Shooting Trust (SST) endowment account. Additionally, teams placing first to fifth in the High School Trap and in the High All Around (combined trap, skeet and sporting clays), event earned additional funding for their school's trust account. The Iowa Scholastic Clay Target Program, Inc. also donates one cent per sanctioned competition target to school's SST accounts through their Target Incentive Program (
). For more information on the Midway USA Scholastic Shooting Trust program, or to donate to your local school, go to
Most new programs get their start with coaches attending the DNR Basic Shotgun Coach Certification program – a one day, hands-on course that teaches fundamental shotgun coaching skills and educates new coaches about the program. Additional coach trainings will be conducted in the fall of this year and those interested can go to:
for more information and to register. New school affiliated programs are also encouraged to apply for grant funding through the Iowa Scholastic Clay Target Program, Inc. where up to $10,000 per school is available over a two year period (

From what I understand tournaments are probably going to be a team agaisnt the game and whiver team does the 'best' job of completeing the quest wins the tournament. That sounds like it would work, but my biggest question with that would be how to stop cheating? I would hope its not an issue in most groups but the higher level the competition the more this could be an issue. If none of your opponents are at the same table as you, what's to stop you from cheating? Having a judge watching every table doesn't sound feasable.
Its also possible to have a team that really doesn't understand the rules very well and may play with some kind of inadvertant 'house rule' that makes the game much easier for them.
How could you police this kind of thing with no opponent at your table?

Cubs drafted 49ers' Kaepernick in 2009, but he wasn't interested

Updated: March 2, 2013 7:16AM
Tim Wilken never saw him play baseball. Neither did Sam Hughes.
In fact, none of the top sets of eyes in the Cubs' scouting department had the chance because "headstrong" Colin Kaepernick stopped playing the game after a dominant high school run in California.
But that run lasted just long enough for the Cubs to get just strong enough reports from their area scouts to put the skinny right-hander in their long-term plans even as he opted to play football at the University of Nevada.
And just like that, the scouting director of the Cubs found himself monitoring Nevada Wolf Pack football games, scouting a quarterback.
''When you get someone that has that kind of arm or that kind of frame, you can dream a little bit,'' said that scouting director, Wilken.
Wilken and Cubs cross-checker Hughes dreamed big enough to spend a 43rd-round pick on Kaepernick as soon as he became draft-eligible again in 2009.
And the rest is history.
Unfortunately for the Cubs, it's football history, being made this week as the long-shot, second-year NFL quarterback leads the San Francisco 49ers into the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens after starting the season on the bench.
''I sure would have loved to have seen what [baseball] would have looked like,'' Wilken said. ''We kind of chirp on each other in the scouting industry, and guys'll say, 'That's a good [story], but you never got him into the boat.' ''
It doesn't mean Wilken wouldn't do it all over again — he says he wouldn't hesitate, especially after watching the rise of former football star Jeff Samardzija, who might be the Cubs' Opening Day starter this year.
''It wasn't a fly-by-night like the Rockies did when they took Michael Vick and he'd never play,'' Wilken said. ''This was legitimate. We were kind of hoping we could coax him into trying the Cubs out and see what it would be like over a summer and maybe he would fall in love with the sport.''
Kaepernick, who added more than 40 pounds to his 6-5 frame in college, was a rail-thin pitcher in high school with a 92 mph fastball and enough command and skill to throw two no-hitters and get invitations to national showcase events.
Football? Not so much. According to media reports during his college days, he didn't get any scholarship offers until doing his own recruiting of nearly every FBS program in the country — and then got only one.
By the time the Cubs were watching Wolf Pack games, they also were reaching out to NFL scouts who all saw the same flawed "sling action" delivery that made them project him as a more likely CFL player than NFL player.
Which gave the Cubs at least some hope in making a case for baseball, though they didn't share those NFL projections with the notoriously stubborn and fiery Kaepernick.
''That probably would have fired him up more [to prove them wrong],'' Wilken said.
He also was concerned enough about drawing industry attention to the Cubs' interest in a college quarterback that he and Hughes wouldn't chance so much as a throwing session for scouts before the draft.
''We didn't really know, didn't really have enough time to know if we really had a shot,'' Wilken said.
The Cubs were prepared to pay Kaepernick $50,000 or more as a bonus plus an additional guarantee to pay for him to finish school if he eventually chose to give up his football scholarship. They also were willing to let him leave his minor-league team early that summer to return for football practice at Nevada — the kind of offer John Elway took with the Yankees while at Stanford.
If the negotiations went anything like Tuesday's discussion with reporters, it was a short conversation.
Kaepernick said he never seriously considered the Cubs' offer.
''Because I love football,'' he said.
For all that talent, all that potential and all that success when he did play, how did baseball fit in his life? What did it do for him?
''It kept my arm strong,'' he said.
Anybody wanna talk football?
''He's pretty headstrong,'' Wilken said. ''He did what he wanted to do. Give the kid credit for believing in what he could really do. It's probably one of his better traits as a player.''
Wilken doesn't claim to know how things would've turned out if Kaepernick would've become a Cub. But watching him emerge this season, he knows one thing.
''We weren't able to do it,'' Wilken said, ''but I think we were really right on the makeup.''

Awesome Pachinko Adaptation!
Not sure if anyone has ever heard of Pachinko, much less played this game before. Pachinko is an old game where you dropped metal ball bearings into slots at the top of a large upright board which of course had a glass front. The balls would drop and ricochet off various pegs which would randomly cause the balls to move all over the board until they dropped into bins of different denominations and then some of the balls would return to you in a catch basin at the bottom and you would quickly drop those balls as well. Well times have changed and the computer version has brought forth some fantastic features, making this a fun and addictive game.
You need to aim the shooter cannon with your cursor and then adjust the power of the shot by pulling the cursor up or down, click to release the ball and watch it go! Each level has certain criteria to meet such as earning 25,000 points or destroying 20 of the little face pegs. Some of the "pegs" are rubber and cause the ball to bounce off, these will be destroyed after the ball hits the same peg a few times. There are also walls that are destroyed after a few bounces, some walls and tubes are destroyed after just one hit, but you earn points for almost anything the ball hits each and every time. The ball will eventually end up in one of the urns at the bottom and some urns are worth more points than others. You will receive up to three gold stars for each level depending on the amount of points you earn.
There are score boosters available once they are earned or unlocked such as a boost when your ball hits 30 times before falling into the urn. You can earn a bigger ball when you hit the same urn 5 times in a row, a larger ball enlarges your score. There is a doubler, when you hit both walls you get an extra ball with double the power. There is also a fireshooter which shoots fireballs from the cannon to burn your way to the urns.
If you don't meet the goals for that level, you have two options, the first option is to lose one of your lives, the second option is to "pay" to continue with two more balls. You start out with 30 gold bars and many of the upgrades will cost you in gold bars which are difficult to earn, so eventually you will probably need to use real money to purchase more gold bars as the levels progress and get harder to beat. Other than that, this is really a fun game to play, and each level has different goals as well as different obstacles and patterns, enjoy!

Great game!
Such a good game. Love it so much.
July 15, 2014
Addictive and I love it!
I am on level 77 now, Ive been playing this game for weeks. It was really cool to have to play during my surgery, it kept me busy and I felt like I was doing something really fun.
There have been 2 levels that I found extremely difficult and had to buy some gold to get through them, but there have been a couple of bugs in the game where my ball was stuck in the air and never moved and the game was beat but I had to go back to the map, that was annoying, overall I havent had any issues.
I love the graphics, the music could use some sprucing up. I love the map and the fact that as you go along after beating some levels you open up bonus paths and can win gold or other items for the game. Some levels are so hard..... but Ive gotten through them. Its all a matter of finding the right place to bounce your ball and how light or hard to bounce it.
I am in the water now, looking forward to the Shark boss. I love that you can replay levels and try and earn more stars so that you can get through certain doors. They require a certain amount of stars. The maximum amount of stars you earn is 3 per level. So I go back and play levels where I only earned 1 or 2 stars and get more for the door I am trying to get through.
COME ON GAME DEVELOPERS and get more levels created, cause once you get to a high enough level it says, "Coming Soon"....well I am almost to the coming soon area so get it done guys!!!

Delightful Distraction
This cute internet take on the classic Pachinko game is a lot of fun. Its not just a popper game, its addicting. Lots of power ups as you try to put your balls in one of the five urns at the bottom of the screen. Even the bumpers on here are animated. Free to play, so give this one a try.
July 15, 2014
Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not stop playing this game. It is so Fun. I Hope they make more games like this one.
July 15, 2014
Fun game to play
If you've played Peggle, this is the same type of game. There are a lot of challenges to this game, including trying to get to light the urn and getting some trapped items into the urn.
You can lose a life if you haven't completed the challenge. If you do lose your life, you do have to wait a while (a little over 8 minutes) before you can get a life back, or you can purchase lives.
July 13, 2014
Cute game
I normally don't play these type, but decided to try this morning. Your nephew has accidently set off a time machine in a museum and sends you back to ancient Egypt. You must earn the points to get back home.
The game is colorful and the pegs are adorable. The music can get annoying after so long, but is tolerable when I have turned down low.
I had a good time playing this and would definitely recommend.

A fight between two longtime acquaintances inside a West Pike Run Township workshop garage Tuesday morning ended with one man being beaten with a large pipe and the other shot to death, family members said.
Robert Joseph Watson 43, of Bentleyville, was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound to the chest during the altercation inside the detached metal garage in the 300 block of Sunset Drive, according to Washington County Coroner Tim Warco. He ruled the death a homicide.
Family members at the scene identified the shooter as Joe Volcheck and said he acted in self-defense after he suffered a serious head wound when Watson hit him with a large lead pipe. Volcheck, who lives in the home where the incident occurred, was flown by medical helicopter to a Pittsburgh area hospital, although his condition and the severity of his injuries were not known.
Investigators said they hoped to interview Volcheck in the hospital while trying piece together the events that led to the deadly confrontation.
But Volcheck's father-in-law, John Carbone, said he spoke to him briefly while medics were loading him into an ambulance and he claimed it was self-defense. Carbone said Volcheck told him that Watson attacked him with a lead pipe and he fired his .357-caliber pistol in self-defense.
"He attacked me with a pipe," Carbon said his son-in-law said as medics tended to his head wound. "I was just defending myself. That's all I could do."
Utility workers found Volcheck lying outside the metal garage about 10:30 a.m. and knocked on the home's door to alert Carbone and other family member of the incident. They said they found Volcheck with a head wound and Watson still clutching the lead pipe.
"He said (Watson) came at him like a wild man," Carbone said.
State police Trooper Stefani Plume said they are investigating what prompted the shooting and want to talk to Volcheck about the argument. She did not know if charges would be filed.
"We will relay on what he has to say for our investigation," Plume said.
State police in Belle Vernon did not release more details on the shooting or say whether Volcheck might face charges in the shooting.

Chinese exports drop as EU debt crisis heightens
English.news.cn 2011-12-11 16:28:01
BEIJING, Dec. 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The growth of China's exports in November
has dropped to its lowest level since December 2009 as demand for
made-in-China goods shrank due to the escalating European debt crisis.
Experts said the outlook of the nation's exports would be gloomier in the
coming year.
China's exports in November still increased by 13.8 percent from a year
ago to $174.46 billion, according to a release from China's General
Administration of Customs on Saturday.
Excluding distortions in January and February each year, the rise was the
most minimal since China's export resumed growth in 2009.
The trade surplus in November narrowed to $14.52 billion from $17.03
billion the previous month. Imports reached $159.94 billion in November
while growth slowed to 22.1 percent from 28.73 percent in October.
Slowing global growth and the debt crisis in Europe dampened overseas
demand and slowed exports.
"The growth of exports and imports both slowed in November but it is
better than estimated, owing to orders for Christmas. But exports and
imports will drop further in the future because the European crisis will
keep spreading," said Wang Tao, head of China economic research at the UBS
After US President Barrack Obama further pressured China's
foreign-exchange policy and trade practices last month, China's
Vice-President Xi Jinping had called for the US to relax its technology
export to China and further open doors for Chinese companies to invest in
the US.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I was shopping around in different stores and blind manufactures for cellulars blinds. This is my first time doing it on my own, what an education. In the past we lived in a different home, we custom ordered these type of shades with a upscale brand through a blind dealer/ installer and we paid a lot of money. This time I decided to shop around and install them ourself. I don't know why cellular shades are so expensive, especially anything custom. I came across these shades from Overstock.com and reading all the reviews and Q&A, I decided to order a couple to try, even if it's not good, it was so inexpensive, I don't think I have much to lose. After feeling the texture and the thickness of numerous brand and make. When I finally got these shades, I was so thrill, the quality of them was very good. Even though I read most of the reviews / Q&A, I was still very hesitant, since I normally would never order these things online. I love them!!! I love the price even more. I do hope they'll hold up in time...***For those of you who have questions like some of these I wonder about when I order these (1/4 or 1/2 inch could be very very important in some cases, especially when you're doing inside mount of the window and you don't want to order ones that are way too small that could look unfitted or order ones that are just 1/4 inch too big that doesn't fit or it has no room to move up and down. So how much smaller is the actual shade? I order a 34 inch and the actual shade is 33-3/4 inch, so it's 1/4 inch smaller. Manufacture makes their shades a little smaller so it fits your windows especially if you do a insde mount, so the shade will move. The width / thickness of the shades (not the bracket, bracket is slightly bigger) is 1 inch (one of the Q&A answer was 1-1/2 inch, not sure why, maybe a different brand.) (This may or may not matter to most people, but I thought it may matter to others.) The site didn't accurately point out these top/ down bottom shades are CORDLESS as well. (some review did stated it's cordless, but one of the Q&A answer stated that is corded, so it's quite confusing for the consumer.) The color IVORY is definitely a bit more yellow, but it's a nice color, but, if you want something cooler, then you may want to simply order the only other color choice for the top down/ bottom up...WHITE, which is what I did when I reorder more of them, I wish they have more different sizes and color available...like smaller, wider, shorter. I would have order even more. All in all, the ordering process was very smooth and all the REPs are very professional and friendly. First time ever use this website, so glad I did, will recommend OS.COM to anyone. Hope this helps.
We got these shades 9 months ago. Easy to install because they are so light. Worked well in the beginning, but with daily use, have already started to tear apart and malfunction. They would be a great deal if they held up for any amount of time. I would get these only if they are for cosmetic purposes and not for daily use! They look nice.
I'm giving these shades 5 stars based on value. For the price, these shades are great!! As stated by others "ivory" is more yellow than one would think but if you have earth tones in your room, these will work!!! The pull strings are cheaply made, 1 has already ripped out of the plastic pull but it's an easy fix.
I got these for my front living room windows. I wanted somethign that I could lower from the top so that we could let the light in but still have some privacy and these were just the things. I didn't realize that they were cordless, but that is just an added bonus (my 2 cats love to play with strings) They were very easy to install (just predrill the holes first) and the shade itself just snapped right into place. They come with two small hand holds that allow easy manuvering of the shade itself. I love them so much that I plan on buying 8 more for my sunroom windows :)
This is a single cellular shade which I have in my living room to block the view of neighbors below me. So I mostly use it for a "top down" effect and it works really well. Controls look flimsy but in fact work very well and are just more unobtrusive than most conventional shades. I think these shades are well worth the money.
they are perfect for my windows. I don't move them up or down much. Great price
Great price and easy install...Initially bought one to see the quality but then this decided to buy 5 more! Love it!!!!
I wanted top down bottom up blinds and these are great. I like the color and overall look of these blinds -easy to install too. Works for my 29.5 inch window the 29 inch width looks perfect. My windows are only 49 inches long but you can't tell that the blinds are too long. Very happy with them.
I have installed nine of these blinds in my house over the past five years. They are all still functioning. I have been pleasantly surprised at their durability.
I was very pleased with the service and quality.of these shades.

Comments: I order this for my father in-law's Birthday! We are ALL fishermen & women in the family. I loved that we could customize the rules to fit our family. The lettering & the finish was excellent! I wish that we could've chosen the size to add more rules. other than that will defiantly order more for my Dad & brothers.
"fishing camp sign"
By Brady
Comments: My dad has this really old fishing set that he takes along whenever we go fishing. I decided to get him a new set for father's day and this pretty cool sign. He will be stoked when he opens his gift. He definitely deserves it.

Secondly, i don't understand ♥♥♥♥ about this solution, it looks like it defies the laws of physics:
First it winds up once, all good. Then the powered wheel falls back, which means there's no tension anymore between the cart and the powered wheel, which should cause the cart to fall back but for some reason it doesn't. Why the gently caress doesn't it fall back?

Ali Asani named head of Islamic Studies program at Harvard
CAMBRIDGE,MA–Ali Asani, professor of Indo-Muslim and Islamic religion and cultures and chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, has been named the director of Harvard's the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Islamic Studies.
Established in 2005, the program aims to foster understanding between the Islamic world and the West through scholarship, teaching, and educational programming. As director, Asani will be responsible for coordinating the activities of the program, proposing outreach efforts to promote informed education about Islam and providing overall direction with the help of the program's steering committee.
A world-renowned scholar on Islam and Muslim cultures, Asani has worked with students and educators from Texas to Pakistan and served on theAmerican Academy of Religion's task force on religion in schools. He lectures extensively on various aspects of the Islamic tradition. At Harvard, in addition to seminars for graduate students, he offers several general education courses on Islam and Muslim societies designed to educate undergraduate students about the dynamic relationship between religion and the complex contexts in which it is embedded. In 2002, Asani was awarded the Harvard Foundation medal for his efforts to improve intercultural relations through a better understanding of Islam and Muslim cultures.
Ali Shakouri appointed director of Purdue Center
WEST LAFAYETTE, IN– A leading researcher advancing efforts in thermoelectric energy conversion at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has been selected as the new Mary Jo and Robert L. Kirk Director of the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue University's Discovery Park.Ali Shakouri, a professor of electrical engineering at UCSC, succeeds James Cooper, who has served as Birck's interim director since March 2010 when former director Tim Sands was appointed provost and executive vice president for academic affairs at Purdue.
"Professor Shakouri is an internationally recognized leader in his areas of specialization in the research field of nanotechnology," said Alan Rebar, executive director of Discovery Park and senior associate vice president for research at Purdue. "We are very pleased and excited to welcome him as the director of Birck, one of our cornerstones for interdisciplinary research here at Purdue."
In addition to leading the Birck Nanotechnology Center, Shakouri will serve as professor of electrical and computer engineering.
"Birck Nanotechnology Center has propelled Purdue into the top tier of this exciting research field in just a few short years," Shakouri said.
"The facility has been a major resource for recruiting some of the best and brightest faculty members and researchers to advance how nanotechnology can improve our lives. What an honor and a privilege to be joining an internationally renowned research university like Purdue and to lead one of the most advanced nanotechnology facilities on a university campus anywhere in the world."
Shakouri has focused his research on nanoscale heat and current transport in semiconductor devices, high-resolution thermal imaging, micro refrigerators on a chip and waste-heat recovery. He received his master's and doctoral degrees from the California Institute of Technology in 1995 and his bachelor's degree in engineering from Telecom ParisTech in France in 1990.
He directs the Thermionic Energy Conversion Center, a multiuniversity collaboration including Purdue that is working to improve direct thermal to electric energy conversion technologies. This project is funded by the Office of Naval Research and the Defense Sciences Office at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as DARPA.
A part of the Quantum Electronics Group at UCSC, Shakouri also is working with colleagues in engineering and social sciences on a new sustainability curriculum. He initiated an international summer school on renewable energy sources in practice. Shakouri received the Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering in 1999, a National Science Foundation Career Award in 2000 and the UCSC School of Engineering FIRST Professor Award in 2004.Project researchers are exploring the capacity of nanostructured materials to channel the random jostling of heat energy into the orderly flow of electricity. The research has applications in advancing technology for electric-powered ships and other electric vehicles.

Since there are different legal systems an enterprise must respect development and protection of corporate brands and product trademarks is difficult if these companies and marks are distribuing or distributed worldwide.
Luenstroth has established a division of its own for these developments of brands and trademarks: Brandpeak®.
Brandpeak is experienced in developing brands and trademarks since more than 20 years. The company has a focus on digital aspects (= every brand or mark shown on a website can collide with similar marks) and is strong in international legal aspects.
The legal knowledge does not only increase security for the brand leading company. It is an important advantage when it comes to short development cycles.
The details are to be found here at Brandpeak.

The Top 10 Bar Cabinets
By Laura Regensdorf
The Experts
Bryan Batt
Besides acting, the Mad Men star also helms the New Orleans home furnishings shop Hazelnut and is the author of Big, Easy Style (Clarkson Potter).
Emma Jane Pilkington
This Australian-born, New York–based designer is known for mixing cleanlined pieces, antique fabrics, and cheery colors to create classical yet quirky spaces.
Wellpapp Cabinet by Josef Frank from Just Scandinavian
"I love the rippled carving on the doors," says Bryan Batt of the 1954 design by the celebrated Austrianborn architect. The lacquered cabinet with adjustable shelves sits on a mahogany base and "has an ethereal quality," he adds. At 51" h. x 32" w. x 16" d., it works well in small spaces. $11,800; justscandinavian.com
Modern Luxury Credenza by Richard Mishaan for Bolier & Co.
Veneered in Macassar ebony with brass details, this low-slung piece evokes the Art Deco era, says Pilkington. The 37" h. x 66" w. x 24" d. credenza (available to the trade) has adjustable shelves and a marble top that's easy to wipe clean. She pictures the masculine cabinet in a home office or study. $8,700; bolierco.com
Bar Cabinet by Polidor
Stripes of cherry and Macassarebony veneers create a polished, traditional look, says Emma Jane Pilkington. The 62" h. x 39" w. x 21" d. bar contains door racks for holding bottles, a drawer, and a shelf underneath. The mirror-backed interior goes beyond the functional: "Mirror makes it fun," Pilkington says, "especially at night, with candles." $5,685; polidordesign.com
Skänk by Chelsea Textiles
This Gustavian-style cupboard, with its linear grooved front and antiqued finish, looks "rustic and lived-in"—perfect for a country house, says Batt. "It's substantial, but there's a lightness to it." The 43" h. x 37" w. x 16" d. ash piece has three fixed shelves for storing glassware and accessories; on top, he adds, "you can display your bottles and decanters in an artful fashion." $2,125; chelseatextiles.com
Homage to Mondrian by Shiro Kuramata for Cappellini
"How cool!" says Batt of this graphic lacquered cabinet, a nod to the painter Piet Mondrian. "It's a little work of art." Five of the seven color blocks open as doors or drawers for storing barware. "This can't help but be the focal point of any room," he says of the 65" h. x 44" w. x 16" d. piece. $15,445; www.cappellini.it
Manning Bar by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams
"It's such a compact piece of furniture, but you can fit a lot into this!" says Pilkington, opening the unit to reveal shelves, racks for wine, and doors with bottle storage. "It's a great value." The ash-veneer bar, 40" h. x 34" w. x 18" d., pays tribute to midcentury modernism with its stainless steel legs, and the practical white-glass top also lightens its look. $1,620; mgbwhome.com
Line Bar by Nathan Yong for Design Within Reach
With its rectilinear shape and slatted exterior, this has a handsome, natural look, says Pilkington. "It's got Zen—it would work in a modern space or in the country," she points out. The 42" h. x 42" w. x 20" d. walnut bar has wineglass racks, cubbies for bottles, and drawers with leather pulls; plus, it's the right height for mixing drinks, she adds. $3,295; dwr.com
Dansu Bar Cabinet by Laura Kirar for Baker
"So chic," raves Batt, who envisions the piece mixed with antiques or in a soft, monochromatic room. Walnut and ebony veneers and brass hardware dress up the 44" h. x 41" w. x 19" d. bar, which has a black-leather-inset top. In addition to a side door and drawer, there's a pulldown hatch with a mirrored interior. "It's just as beautiful on the inside," he notes. $8,445; bakerfurniture.com
Stockholm Cabinet by Ikea
For Batt, this trim cabinet proves that "great style doesn't have to break the bank." The 69" h. x 30" w. x 15" d. piece has an Asian Deco feel, he says, "with an air of sophistication." The doors and sides are veneered in oak, and the shelves are adjustable. For a pop of color, he'd paper the interior, since the glass panels allow a peek inside. $299; ikea.com
Galliano Cabinet by Moura Starr
With its grand scale and luxe lacquer finish, "this makes a dramatic statement," says Pilkington of the 72" h. x 45" w. x 22" d. cabinet. The imbuia handles are carved in a checkerboard pattern, and the base is bronze. The mirrored interior holds a pair of drawers and adjustable crystal shelves—making it a standout for formal entertaining, she adds. $24,893; mourastarr.com

Warms my heart
I read an article on Bloomberg today that made me a bit happier about the human race. It appears that Toyota is going back to the real roots, and training humans to be good at their jobs. I think they nailed it in the first section saying that they need to refine their 'art and skill level'.
There has been a trend recently towards a throw away society. When I lamented over this issue when I made the decision to go back to school. The problem is that people would rather have something cheap, use it for a short duration, and throw it away. This works perfectly if robots are making everything, and we aren't worried about where the raw products are coming from. Generalized machines make generalized parts for a ready-for-average society. The problem is that some people, and I'd like to think I am included in this category, want quality craftsmanship, want their purchases to last generation and are willing to pay for it.
How can you do it when a mindless machine is putting the parts on your gadgets. A human will look at each bit, and if they care about the product will make sure it is something the customer would be happy with. I really hope this new direction for Toyota works out well for them. I'm going to do my part, and ensure our next vehicle is a Toyota.

city pant
by STEVEN ALAN
Having spent the past 20 years creating a mini fashion world grounded in classic American roots - fashioned with a twist - Steven Alan has quietly emerged an uncommon fashion pioneer. Upon opening his first retail store in 1994, Steven sold pieces from an eclectic group of emerging designers, becoming known for his keen eye. In 1999, Steven launched his first men's collection, including his now signature Reverse Seam Shirt, followed by a women's collection soon after. The collections build upon the same curatorial point of view using authentic fabrics and precise tailoring along with thoughtful details- resulting in easily wearable, refined casual looks.

Information about council tax, what it is, how to pay it, and what council tax band your property is in.
Council tax is one way in which the council raises money to pay for the services it provides. It is charged on most homes. It does not matter whether the home is rented or owned, or whether it is lived in or not.
For further information about your council tax please see our guide 'About Your Council Tax'. You can view this below, or download a copy from the downloads menu.
For the current council tax base and annual charge, please see the right hand downloads menu.
Council tax is a property tax with a personal element. It takes into account the value of a property and the number of people aged 18 or over who live there.
If a property has one adult resident, the amount of council tax payable is 75% of the council tax band for that property, subject to discounted residents.
If a property has 2 or more adult residents, the amount payable is 100% of the amount for the band, subject to discounted residents.
Lancaster City Council is the billing authority for this area. It has the responsibility for levying and collecting council tax and paying over to Lancashire County Council, Lancashire Police Authority and the Lancashire Combined Fire Authority the sums of money they have requested us to collect on their behalf.
As part of their strategy to bring empty homes into use, the Government is making changes to the council tax scheme in respect of empty properties and second homes.
The exemptions currently given to certain types of empty homes (Class A and Class C) will be replaced with a discount, the amount of which will be decided by local councils.
These changes will affect council tax payers who currently receive reductions or exemptions in respect of:
Second Homes - on which we currently allow a discount of 10%, will pay full Council Tax from 1st April 2013.
Class C Exemption - which is currently given to empty/unfurnished properties for a maximum of 6 months, will be abolished with effect from 31 March 2013.
Lancaster City Council will be replacing this exemption with a discount of 100% which will be awarded for a period of up to 2 months followed by a 50% discount for a further period of up to 4 months following which full council tax will become payable.
Class A Exemption - which is currently given to empty/unfurnished properties for a maximum period of 12 months whilst they require or are undergoing major repair work to render them habitable, will also be abolished with effect from 31 March 2013.
Lancaster City Council will be replacing this exemption with a discount of 50% for a maximum period of 12 months following which full council tax will become payable.
The Government has provided Councils with a discretionary power to charge an empty homes premium on properties which are empty and unfurnished and have been so for 2 years or more.
Lancaster City Council will charge an additional 50% premium on top of the full council tax payable on these properties.
