- Marin records driest year ever in 2013
Despite recent spring rain storms, Marin remains in drought and some residents are hoping to find relief underground.
So far this fiscal year, 25 Marin property owners have applied to drill water wells on their land, up from 20 well applications in fiscal 2012-13 and just 12 in 2011-12, said Scott Callow, who overseas drilling permits for the county of Marin's division of Environmental Health Services.
Callow said that most of the new wells are probably the result of new development as the economy picks up. He added, however, "There have been a number of well drilling permits that were specifically associated with drought."
Callow said some people have had to drill new wells because their existing well went dry, and others have decided to drill an additional well just in case their existing well stops producing. Callow said, for example, the owners of the Meadow Club in Fairfax drilled for water on their property last fall.
"They did some drilling but they didn't find water," he said.
Dave Anderson, owner of A&K Drilling in Petaluma, said drilling for water in Marin is a hit or miss proposition.
"There really aren't any big aquifers in Marin," Anderson said.
County records show that Skywalker Properties drilled three times at 2400 Lucas Valley Road without finding any water in 2009 when George Lucas was seeking permission to build a digital film production studio and other amenities at the former Grady Ranch in Lucas Valley.
Callow said there are no limits on the amount of water a landowner can extract from a well on his property; it's considered a mineral right. But John Hofer, executive director of the California Groundwater Association, said there are bills pending in Sacramento that would increase regulatory oversight of groundwater resources.
Hofer said he could envision some limits being placed on water extraction from private wells.
"If you have a water basin with serious overdraft concerns, the last thing you need is one guy pumping up water 24/7 indiscriminately. In my opinion, everybody realizes that some degree of management is necessary because we do have a dire situation here."
In Nicasio Valley, where property owners rely on wells for their water, residents are urgently planning for how they will cope if the current drought continues beyond this summer.
"Nicasio hosts 29,000 acre feet of Marin Municipal Water District's water in the reservoir out here, but we are not part of MMWD," said Nicasio resident Eric Blanche.
When the reservoir was created, Nicasio land owners opted not to join the water district because they feared ready access to water would result in too much development, Blanche said.
"Most people are happy with that decision," Blanche said. Nicasio has remained primarily a rural community with about 200 homes.
Some of those homes, however, have wells that fail to produce enough water for their inhabitants during even mildly dry years. The owners of these homes often have water trucked in during the summer at a cost of about $200 per 3,000-gallon load, Blanche said. There is concern that if the drought continues that the cost of trucking in water will rise to $600 to $800 per truck load.
Currently the number of Nicasio residents who have to import water is relatively small.
"There is a much larger percentage of folks," Blanche said, "like me, who see their water slow down every dry season and wonder if we had three 2013's in a row if we would be in a similar situation."
There is also a concern that if the drought becomes severe enough that the Marin Municipal Water District and the North Marin Water District, which supply the trucked water, might turn off the tap.
As a possible solution, the Nicasio Landowners Association is exploring the possibility of signing contracts with local landowners who have reliable, productive wells to share their water with other residents during an emergency water shortage. Blanche said the contracts would function as easements on the well owners properties. In return, the other property owners would pay for improving the productive wells and building water storage capacity.
Patrick McDonnell, a 20-year resident of Nicasio, said, "We're fairly optimistic that there is a solution that the community can pull together on its own."
He added, "We're pleased that it's raining again."

Join us for Plymouth's annual Christmas pageant! This year, the children will perform "Matt & Lucy's Version Births".
There are four "canonical" gospels in the Bible. While Matthew and Luke are the only gospels to tell the story of Jesus' birth, their stories are very different from one another.
Our play opens as Matt & Lucy volunteer to help with this year's Christmas pageant. Little do they know that the Director will give them each a different script and leave them to work out how to put on a play with conflicting story lines, characters, and settings.
As the play ends, the Director explains how having two stories gives us an appreciation of the diversity of ways early Christians expressed their understanding of who Jesus was.

Tired of being picked on at school for being a "furrin Immigrant" because he is Jewish, twelve-year-old Sammy Greenburg learns the legend of the golem from his bar mitzvah coach, but discovers that friends--and forming a klezmer fusion band--can be better than magic in defeating bullies.
Baker & Taylor
Tolerating the antics of a gang of bullies until they badly beat up a friend, brave Sammy Greenberg builds a Golem, a mythical protector from Jewish folklore, who provides bodyguard services and demonstrates considerable talent as a drummer in Sammy's rock-jazz-klezmer fusion band. By the author of the Caldecott Medal-winning
Owl Moon
Penguin Putnam
Sammy Greenberg would rather talk back to The Boyz--a gang of bullies at his school--and get his head stuck in the toilet than constantly be afraid. But when his friend Skink gets beaten up so badly that he has to go to the hospital, Sammy thinks he may be in over his head. He decides to build a golem--a mythical protector from Jewish folklore, made of clay and animated by the ineffable name of God. But this monster doesn't just protect him and Skink from The Boyz, he is also a great drummer for their rock-jazz-klezmer fusion band! But golems come with warnings. They will protect you until they don't.

While the ambiance is muted, the tables themselves are bathed in light. The quality of the food is excellent, as is the service. We were not pressured to order drinks, and were overall very pleased with the whole experience.

The food was delicious and the service was impressive. All the servers worked together making sure everyone was enjoying their experience.

I went to J Alexander's in Palm Beach Gardens for dinner last night with 3 friends. I had done some research on line beforehand so I had an idea of what to expect. The restaurant is lovely if a bit dark. I was annoyed that although we had a confirmed resevation, we still waited almost 30 minutes for a table. I believe the wait was deliberate to force us into getting drinks at the bar. This suspicion was confirmed when we were walked through the half empty dining room to our table. Once we were seated, the service was competent if not unmemorable. At one point we were looking for our server. One of the hosts asked us who it was and we had no idea. We were trying to have a relaxing dinner with out of town friends we had not seen in some time and I felt rushed throughout the experience. My biggest complaint, however was the food. Everything had too much salt and there is no excuse for serving stone-cold food. I sent my entree back because it was so cold. and two of my dining companions did not eat their meals because of the salt content. One final observation. The 4 of us were drinking up drinks which are presented very nicely in chilled glasses with the remaining cocktail served in a glass beaker in a small ice bowl. Lovely. However, it took 3 waiters to serve us a round of drinks because they do not use trays. Strange. On the whole I thought the experience was overpriced, cold and salty. I will not be back and I will not reccommend the resaurant to my fellow foodies.

Such a great place to go for a special treat! The prime rib melts in your mouth and they have the best burger I have ever had. They have a wide array of food to fit most budgets. You can get a 20 dollar steak or a 10 dollar hamburger. The Cypress salad is an amazing salad for lunch. They come with these cornbread croutons that are to die for. Highly recommended!

I ordered salmon and asparagus it was flavorless, and you're only able to choose one side. I have received greater value and better tasting food at lower priced restaurants.

Boy was I surprised when after mentioning that it was my sister's 50th birthday celebration, they did not even bring her a sliver of cake. I do not mind paying a little extra, but the steaks were not that great! Really fatty for the price! Will not be making this a favorite place to visit! You know it is all about the little touches.
Posted by JT on 04/18/2012
I've liked this rest. since I first went which was several months ago. I go to the one located in Plantation. My Server was phenomenal, she is friendly and professional. Not to mention she gave great recommendations. My Steak was great, my inlaws and wife enjoyed their meal as well. Yes, it may be pricey but not only am I spending it on the quality of the food but also the service that was provided.

Paul Griffin, a professor at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, and Yuan Sun, a professor at Boston University, School of Management, announced the findings in a new paper that there is a reliable association between religious adherence and affiliation, and voluntary corporate social responsibility, or CSR, disclosures.
The research showed that companies in areas of high concentrations of people who practice religion engage in more environmental disclosure as opposed to social welfare disclosure. Companies also disclose more CSR information when the population near the corporate headquarters has more nonevangelical Christians than evangelicals.
The authors reasoned that this might be because some evangelical organizations promote skepticism of climate change science and embrace more conservative social and political values than their nonevangelical counterparts.
"Most religious communities identify climate change and social welfare as critical contemporary concerns, and many religious groups actively adopt policies and actions to remedy the perceived social and economic injustices that result therefrom," said Griffin. "But we did notice that companies' CSR practices seemed to depend on whether more evangelical Christians versus nonevangelical Christians lived near the headquarters.
Further, the study finds that stock portfolios reflecting more investment in environmental interests and less investment in social welfare interests generate significantly positive excess returns during the one to three months following such disclosures.
The research was conducted primarily using data found in disclosures reported by the CSRwire news service and other public records. Griffin explained one main message of the research. "Churches and other religious organizations might consider promoting voluntary CSR disclosure as a means to better align corporations' actions with communities' beliefs about environmental protection and social welfare," he said.
"We simply do not know whether religious communities' efforts to increase corporate disclosure might have the desired effects on corporate behavior. But if religious communities' resources are to be well spent, that knowledge is crucial."

We stayed in this delightful inn for three midweek nights. Our room with a queen bed was cozy,clean and reminded us of ''grandma's place''. We enjoyed the meals and the wine was not overpriced as can happen. Mac and company were very polite, interesting to talk with and informative regarding sights in Cape Cod. Some people may not appreciate the homelike environment- they should stay at a Best Western...

Every time I visit New England, I find tme to spend a few days at the Colonial House Inn. It's like staying in your Grandmother's or Great Aunt's home, not new and modern, but homey, clean and decorated lovingly; and the staff makes you feel like family. The rooms are "elegantly old-fashioned" and the meals are out of this world. Mac Perna, the innkeeper was a History major in college, and really makes the local and family history part of the ambiance. I get my fill of my favorite New England foods while I'm there like Indian Pudding and fresh fish. Evenings in the "Pub room" is fun, a favorite libation and meeting other guests. Mac has an encyclopedic knowledge of local history, and can help his guests find places all over Cape Cod. Before her final illness and passing, it was one of my mother's favorite places. My late college roommate loved the place, and when she was on dialysis, they accommodated her needs. I have a girlfriend who goes with me now, every time I'm in New England. Some rooms are "pet friendly" with advanced notice. Other rooms are never occupied by pets to accommodate those with allergies. Go mid-week during the season, and four days are like two weeks rest. There are special event weekends for holidays, and other special off-season events like "History Weekends," "Mystery Weekends," and an educational "So You Want to be an Innkeeper Weekends." Also, it's located next to the Edward Gorey House and Museum. (The late Edward Gorey was a frequent diner.) Open to the public for lunch and dinner. Betty Cordoza, Sonora, CA.

My girlfriend and I stayed at this Lovely Inn this past weekend. Rooms were fresh & clean.The grounds were beautiful and very well kept. Staff super. But I can't say enough about Dinner . From the really fresh chilled garden salad (included with the meal) to the decadent Chocolate browning pudding, everything was perfect. My girl had the blackened fresh salmon & I had the steak au poivre. Both were perfect! The waitperson was very attentive but not pushy. We both agreed to put this Inn & restaurant on our must return list!!!

We read all the reviews and thought we did our homework before booking our stay for valentines weekend... Ivan and Greta are excellent people and are doing what they can with limited means. We never met the owner but I don't think he would ever sleep on the 30 year old mattresses!! The room was dirty and smelled moldy.. The canopys for the beds looked as if they have never been washed since the revamp in the 80's. Old blankets that are very worn and the mattresses have many stains and some even have holes in them! The TV and perks they say come with the room are crazy. The TV is maybe a 13" with a vcr and is only capable of getting 13 channels (weather permitting) Don't waste your hard earned money on this place... We talked to many other B&B's that had horror stories of people who walked out of this place and trying to find somewhere else to sleep. The owner must not care about this place... it was probally nice when these pictures were taken but that must have been years ago. It should be condemed by the health dept.

We thoroughly enjoyed this charming inn. The staff were extremely courteous, friendly, and professional. The building and grounds were lovely. The food was quite good. We'd recommend this inn, particularly to friends who travel with pets, and would not hesitate to return to the Colonial House Inn.

My wife and I stayed here 2 nights in May 2008. This place is a gem. An eighteenth century inn, centrally located on Cape Cod, definitely surpassed our expectations in every way. The entire staff were the warmest, most cordial and caring of any B&B we have ever stayed in (and we have stayed in many). The room we stayed in was spacious and quiet. The inn provides a simple continental type breakfast, but also includes dinner entire as part of the advertised room rate. It was a great getaway ... one we plan to repeat many times in the future.

Urgent: Now Intellectual Property Group Wants to Apply New Rights Protections to .Net
Make your voice heard now.
(After reading this article I recommend reading more details about what this means.) Earlier this week I wrote about how a draft version of the business constituency's comments about VeriSign's renewal of the .net contract requested that uniform rapid suspension be added to .net. Thankfully the business constituency didn't include that provision in its final comments.
But the Intellectual Property Constituency did:
Once the post-launch rights protection mechanisms called for in the new gTLD registry agreements are up and running, .NET should be obligated to participate in them. Notably, .NET should be required to make the uniform rapid suspension (URS) system available as an efficient and expeditious method of dealing with clear-cut cases of abusive registrations in .NET. The renewal agreement should set forth a process for ICANN to specify the date upon which these obligations will become effective for the .NET registry, along with an adequate transition period for the registry operator to put the necessary procedures into place.
In other words, the IP group wants to retroactively apply new and untested rights protections to one of the original top level domain names.
You still have time to comment on the .net renewal agreement by sending an email to email@example.com.

This is unacceptable!!!
I emailed them a comment. They send an email back with a link to click to confirm your comment.

The decline suggests that the overall economy may be weakening faster than some economists predicted. The Institute for Supply Management said its manufacturing index registered 47.7 last month, down 3.1 percentage points from the 50.8 recorded in November. A reading above 50 indicates growth; below that level indicates contraction. |

My husband keeps saying he is 50/50 on whether he wants to stay married or not. makes it sound like we're splitting up it but at the same time makes it sound like we are working this out totally confuses me most times we still have sex and sleep in the same bed. He says the sex is great and it "sucks" him back in and confuses him on what he wants to do. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Amber! Are you saying that you want to be, or would even consider being, married to a man that is only there because be likes the sex? How is that not incredibly demeaning to you? Don't you want someone who loves you and not just someone who only loves the way you perform in bed? I have read your post on the Stepfamilies Forum and can certainly see why you didn't designate this man to have custody of your child in the event that something happens to you. Given his declaration that the sex is the only thing that holds him in the marriage, he could be gone at any second. But, in my opinion, simply the reason he gives for staying with you would be enough for me to get on out of there. He can get great sex anywhere. A husband should love you, the person. Don't you think so? |
I do we've been together for 10 yrs so its not just the sex he says he still loves me |
You said "He says the sex is great and it "sucks" him back in and confuses him on what he wants to do." Then in your next post you said "...so its not just the sex he says he still loves me". Well, so now I'm confused and don't know what more to add. I'll just leave saying that if my husband told me that he is 50/50 on whether he wants to stay married to me or not, I'd be looking for help much further than an online forum. Good luck. |
You're right I should walk away, and it is very crappy of him to say that but I think he means he gets the closeness and bonding. He isn't very good at wording it well and he is trying to figure out what he wants and he already has his answer. I have taken wedding vows seriously and I won't walk away call me crazy but I'm doing what I think is right |
Ok. So what's his answer? 50% chance of wanting to stay with you? Doesn't sound like an answer. Sounds like he's still deciding. And ... I won't call you crazy; to each their own. But were you asking a question when you posted here? Were you looking for feedback or just venting? |
Little bit of both I guess...I wanted some opinions I kinda feel like I'm wasting time sometimes. But I won't be the one to tear my family apart ya know? |
I understand. And from what you've posted here, I can suggest that you're not the one tearing your family apart. |
Thank you...some days are better than others |
No way would I sit and wait for someone to say it's over. I couldn't stand living with that kind of thing hanging over my head. He may just be staying with you out of pity. Where is your back bone, your pride? What do you see when you look in the mirror? |
Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. I'm not waiting around I told him look you sit around and think but right now I gotta family to take care of. So I'm just getting on with my life going to school and working . Whatever happens is on him. |
- Posted by amyfiddler (My Page) on Sat, Aug 31, 13 at 4:15
There are different types of pride. The kind you refer to is the one that says "I'm better than other people"' and obviously the pride mentioned was self respect. Hiding behind scripture does not solve your problem. Do you demonstrate any boundaries in your life? |
I am bettering myself I'm going to school and preparing for the outcome whatever it may be. I will not be the one to tear the family apart. Regardless of what he's considering we are still married and I took vows I will hold to those |
Amber, you say you're holding to your vows. He's not, though. I would imagine that he vowed to love, honor, cherish, any of those traditional words. Doesn't sound like he's doing that at all; he's taking you for a ride and has broken the contract. |
He is, God knows my heart and I am doing what I think he wants me to do. I don't know if my husband is really going to leave but I'll stick around till the end |
I think he's trying to get me to make the decision so he won't look like the bad guy...that ain't gonna happen if he wants out he can do it without me |
Ok. Remember your feelings when you started this thread (see the subject line). If you were just venting, that's fine. Since you're indicating that you're firm in what you're doing and not looking for advice, I'll stop offering mine. Best wishes. |
Same here. |
Amber I would probably do what you are doing. As long as there is no physical abuse or infdelity, if he wants to leave, let him leave. As I'm typing this I know you said you were in school; but can't remember if you have any other income. You might want to step that preparation up a bit, but otherwise I think you're on the right path. |
- Posted by dominoswrath (My Page) on Tue, Oct 15, 13 at 22:36
He's obviously mentally abusive and loves to play mind games while degrading your self worth, treating you like a piece of meat. Get out. He's abusive. Time to leave. Don't waste your time with that. Life is too short to waste it on mentally abusive people who don't appreciate you for WHO YOU ARE. Good luck. |
My mother always said the same thing, he isn't hitting you, cheating or drunk. She stayed and he was doing it all except being a drunk. She also stayed because being on the dole was a shameful thing. |

Light Post Lighting News: New Fluorescent Technology, Rockefeller Tree, and More
Here at 1000Bulbs.com, not only do we sell thousands of lighting products, lighting accessories, and (my favorite) Christmas decorations to satisfy even the most seasoned lighting veteran, we also have our ears to the ground, scouring the Internet for news-worthy…news. Introducing Light Post, a bi-weekly gathering of lighting innovations and of course, news. So make sure you swing by every other week for your dose of Light Post.
Wake Forest Introduces Revolutionary Fluorescent Bulb
Physics professor David Carroll and his team of researchers at Wake Forest University have created a fluorescent bulb set to replace LEDs and standard fluorescents. These new bulbs, based on field-induced polymer electroluminescent (try saying that fives times in a row) technology, or FIPEL, are shatterproof, flicker-free, and won't burn out. No more of the mosquito-in-your-ear humming noise many office workers complain about now. Besides no more humming, these lights give off a soft, white light and are extremely efficient, at least twice as efficient as compact fluorescent bulbs (CFL). Better yet, these lights are long-lasting: Carroll has one that has worked for about a decade. These lights should be available to consumers as early as next year.
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting not Hampered by Hurricane Sandy
Hurricane Sandy definitely left a dark spot over New York City, flooding pretty much everything, costing millions of dollars, and leaving lots of people without power. However, the Rockefeller Christmas Tree Lighting erased any dark spot cast by the superstorm. The massive 80-foot Norway spruce, complete with 30,000 lights and topped with a Swarovski star, came to life November 28. The 10-ton tree resided at the Mount Olive, N.J. home of Joe Balku and was a mere 22-feet tall in 1973 when Balku bought the house. Today, the tree measures about 50 feet in diameter. The iconic tree will remain in the public eye until January 7.
After that, it will be turned into lumber for Habitat for Humanity.
Streetlights in Central London to be Controlled by iPads
If this isn't evidence of technology becoming more and more important in our everyday lives, I don't know what is. Westminster City Council announced it will be replacing about 14,000 central London street lights with new, iPad controlled smart lights. The iPad application will be able to monitor street lighting levels and reliability, monitor which lights are not working properly, and can even predict when a light will fail. Installation of the new lights will cost about $3 million, but it will save taxpayers hundreds of thousands a year.
Texas Towns and Parks Scale Back Lighting to See Stars
Having recently moved from a small, Texas town to the big city, I can certainly attest for the lack of star-gazing ability here in the Metroplex. That's why many Texas towns and state parks are fighting light pollution. In recent years, Texas' state parks have seen a decline in visitors and to lure them back, the parks are promoting chances for night-sky viewing, away from the city lights by advocating cities and towns to use down-facing light fixtures, so as not to pollute neighboring areas with unnecessary light.
LED Lights May Boost Milk Production in Cows
There may be a link between higher milk production and LED lights. An initial experiment done in 2010 at Oklahoma State University found a 6% increase in milk production in cows when traditional lights were replaced with LEDs, which consume at least 75% less energy than conventional incandescent bulbs, in areas where cows were housed. While the research is still underway, and if the results can be replicated in other institutions, not only will cows produce more milk, but the savings over the long run will be tremendous for farmers.
read moreHow to Set Up a Christmas Tree Like a Pro
You've set up your Christmas tree and gathered the family around, Clark Griswold-style. You plug in the lights and voilà!
A second goes by before you hear a collective groan. Your tree is so gnarled and lopsided it looks like it's being slowly eaten away by moths. Half of the lights don't work, and the other half only flicker. In short, your Christmas tree doesn't look anything like the picture on the box.
Professional interior designers know setting up an artificial Christmas tree isn't as easy as it looks. They know just how to adjust, test, and tweak until a Christmas tree looks bright and full, virtually oozing holiday cheer. Fortunately, you can do the same. Use these 4 professional tips for a problem-free tree this year!
read moreHave Yourself a Merry, Quirky Christmas
It's that time of year…again.
Are you tired of the same old clear, red, and multi-color string lights? Do you wish "O Tannenbaum" could be something other than a boring evergreen tree?
The holidays may be a time for tradition, but tradition doesn't mean your holidays can't have personality. From crazy-colored lights to odd Christmas trees and "themed" holiday celebrations, here are a few ideas to make this coming holiday truly your own.
Fun Christmas Light Colors
Mini lights come in colors as diverse as green, pink, and purple. LED wide angle lights and LED C6 lights come in similarly varied hues. You name the color, and chances are, you can find it at 1000Bulbs.com.
But where do you start? An easy idea is to pick your favorite color to decorate your home. Maybe you just happen to like the color pink, so why not dress up your tree in that color? Or perhaps green, purple, teal, or even a "festive" combination of colors best fit your fancy.
Themed Holiday Celebrations
Another idea is to go with a themed holiday. Create a vintage, candlelight-inspired look with amber mini lights and bubble lights. Use red, white, and blue lights to add a patriotic flair to your festivities. For an "Old West" theme, use cow skull or cowboy boot lights along with a lighted chili pepper ristra. You could also go with a sports theme—an option especially popular in man cave lighting. Pick lights in the color of your favorite football, basketball, or baseball team to show your dedication to your holiday guests.
Unique Christmas Trees
Artificial Christmas trees are available in enough fun colors and shapes to make your Douglas Fir or Spruce look just plain boring. For a splash of color, try a tinsel Christmas tree in bright blue or deep red or use a copper tinsel tree to complete your vintage look. Enhance your sports theme with a tree decked out in university team colors. You could even consider a palm tree for a bit of tropical respite from winter weather.
What are your ideas for this holiday? Share them with us in the comments or connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, or Pinterest. We can't want to see what you have in store!
read moreHow to Pick a Christmas Tree
Buying a Christmas tree, to many, is a yearly ritual of taking the family to a tree lot and buying a fresh, newly cut evergreen tree. For the more practical, it's an ever-so-often trip to a store ending in "mart" to buy an artificial tree. There is always a conflict between aesthetics and practicality when it comes to buying a tree. What if you could select an artificial Christmas tree so realistic you would swear it even smelled like a real tree? What if it was also so well constructed you could pass it down for generations?
With today's designer Christmas trees, like those from Barcana, that's possible. Hardy branches, lifetime warranties, and quick setup are common to every tree we carry at 1000Bulbs.com. Though quality and durability are a given no matter which of our trees you choose, after you pick the size and the "species" of your tree, you have one decision left, whether to go with PVC or PE branches. Both are great options, but one or the other may be a better fit for your home or business.
The most common type of Christmas tree is made of polyvinyl chloride, more commonly known as PVC. At 1000Bulbs.com, we call these "classic" trees because they're made of the material used to build Christmas trees for the past several decades. The manufacturing process is simple: Thin sheets of flexible PVC are cut into long, flat strips and then attached to a twisted wire shaft. Production of PVC trees is inexpensive, so savings that are passed to you, the customer. Though they aren't the most exquisite option available, PVC Christmas trees are better constructed than they used to be, making them a good option for any homeowner on a budget.
Despite quality improvements, however, PVC trees barely compare to polyethylene, or PE, trees. Premium quality, ultra realistic PE Christmas trees are produced with the interior designer in mind. Their branches are injection molded and three-dimensional. Because the molds are created from real evergreen needles, PE branches are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Though PE trees were once quite expensive, their price is now more in line with PVC trees, making them an option for homeowners as well as professional designers.
What both types of trees have in common is easy setup. If you remember tree setup taking an hour or more, you'll be shocked to find out how quickly and easily you can set up a designer Christmas tree. If you don't believe us, you can see for yourself in this Christmas tree setup video, where we set up a designer tree in less than 10 minutes! PE trees especially are almost "ready to go" right out of the box. The branches hold their shape well, even in storage, so they need very little "fluffing" and adjusting. Many models are even pre-lit with incandescent or LED lights. Whichever type you choose, you won't be disappointed.
What kind of Christmas tree are you setting up this year? Let us know in the comments or drop up a line on Facebook, Twitter, or Google Plus. We'd especially like to see your holiday decoration photos on Pinterest!

Vatulele Island Resort
Located off the southern coast of Viti Levu, this all-inclusive resort has 17 beachfront bures (thatched-roof bungalows) and two premium villas isolated by stretches of tropical jungle. Blending Southwestern and South Pacific styles, the accommodations include adobe walls, sheer white bed canopies, and wall hangings of locally made tapa (bark cloth). Select bures and the premium villas also have private plunge pools. The on-site restaurant serves a variety of cuisines, including Fijian seafood, Indian curries, and a Friday night South Pacific barbecue. Activities range from guided jungle hikes to scuba diving at one of 22 nearby sites.
Room to Book:
The regular beachfront bures are furthest from the noisy dining areas (and also the least expensive).
Insider Tip:
Be forewarned that if you book a private picnic on Nooki Nooki Island, you'll likely be joined by an enormous colony of hermit crabs.

Popular Investments of 2014
- March 2014
- Posted By JohnnyG
- 0 Comments
Looking at your investment options in 2014, you will find that investing in start-ups could be a good option and a gold IRA can be a safer bet. For some, going to old reliable stocks can even be a smart choice. However, if we have learned anything from 2008, it is that past performance is never a guarantee of future returns.
As mentioned, investing in start-ups could be a good option for some. With this investment type, it can take a few years to see results, but if you do your homework and pay close attention to the business plan that the entrepreneur has, you should find that this has the potential to deliver a considerable payout.
Another good choice is the gold IRA. When investing in this type of IRA you are allowed to have gold backed exchange funds and gold backed mutual funds. However, the gold IRA does not allow you to physically hold on to physical gold bullions for this investment type. It is important to keep this in mind when you are looking over the options that you have.
While you are looking through the investment options you have, keep in mind that you do need to pay close attention to the tax rates. Taxes can impact a number of different factors and when a person is allocating their various investments to help with their taxes, rather than focusing on the true investment, it doesn't often work out in their favor, unless there is a serious tax problem that they are already dealing with.
In 2014, having a balance of investments will be very important. While there was a time when focusing on one investment type was okay, that is no longer the case. In today's market, you will want to spread your investments in at least two areas. For a beginner, it can be a good idea to invest in 60% bonds and 40% stock market. This gives you the security of the bonds, with the potential to earn significant results through the stock market. However, it also minimizes the risk should something happen if the stock market were to crash again in the future.
Each year, it can also pay to make up to $5,500 of a tax-advantaged growth and place it into your IRA before the annual tax deadline. This can be a smart way to begin saving for your retirement, while avoiding higher taxes at the end of the year. You will want to keep that in mind when you are looking through some of the different investment options that you have.
Foreign exchange rates can make a good investment, if you know what you are doing. Before you begin to invest in currency, it is a good idea to explore the local economy and pay close attention to the situation in the country where the currency is used. That will help you to make some wise investment choices.
While you are looking through the investment options, keep in mind that going with your gut and avoiding deals that make you nervous can be a smart choice. While investing in start-ups could be a good option, if things seem suspicious and things don't add up, avoid making the investment. After all, there is no guarantee you will walk away with more money after you make an investment and it will wise for you to take a sensible approach and look out for your best interests in every investment that you end up making.

How to Clean Up Greasy Spills from Your Carpet
Next time someone drops something greasy on your carpet or upholstery, reach for the cornstarch before you grab a chemical-based cleaner. Sprinkling the spill with cornstarch will help absorb the grease. Cover the stain and let it sit for 15 to 30 minutes then vacuum up the cornstarch. If there's still a stain, then you can reach for a dedicated cleaner (see the best stain removers here) and follow the instructions on the bottle.

Mann plans to provide marketing support, including coupons and recipes, for fresh-cut sweet potatoes and butternut squash, Hernandez said.
Pero's new Salad CutUps sold in high-tech packs
In January, Pero Family Farms Food Co. LLC, Delray Beach, Fla., introduced Salad CutUps fresh-cut salad ingredients.
Each package consists of multiple types of fresh-cut produce, but they are not packaged together. Instead, each of the four or five items is packed in its own bag designed specifically for it.
"Each is packaged separately for portions and freshness," said Ed Sullivan, chief marketing officer.
The films used have specific oxygen transfer rates that are best for the types of produce, Sullivan said. The items then are packed in a master bag, which also has a specific oxygen transfer rate designed to maintain freshness for that particular set of items.
Each Salad CutUps package weighs 6.5-7.5 ounces and contains toppings suggested for two dinner salads or for four appetizer salads, Sullivan said.
Stemilt Growers builds foodservice business
Roger Pepperl, marketing director for Stemilt Growers Inc., Wenatchee, Wash., said the company is doing more business with foodservice programs.
The school lunch programs, in particular, are a growing part of its business. Pepperl said Stemilt expects the farm bill to open more opportunities to get apples to schoolchildren.

Delve into the archives of James Lovelock, one of Britain's most important living scientists and inventors, in our new exhibition.
Featuring previously unseen materials acquired by the Science Museum in 2012, the exhibition gives a unique insight into Lovelock's creative mind, personality and unconventional ideas.
James Lovelock's career has spanned scientific fields as diverse as medicine, environmental science, atmospheric chemistry and space exploration. He is most famous for formulating the Gaia hypothesis – the idea that Earth is a self-regulating system. This theory has been both hugely influential and controversial. It has profoundly shaped how environmental scientists view issues such as climate change and loss of biodiversity.
Among the highlights of the exhibition are Lovelock's laboratory notebooks, drafts of his papers and equipment from the laboratory in his back garden, where some of his most important work was done. The exhibition also features tools used by Lovelock to build many of his inventions, including a watchmaker's lathe and the home-made gas chromatography equipment that journeyed to the Antarctic and back and proved crucial to scientists' current understanding of global atmospheric pollution.
Unlocking Lovelock provides a unique insight into the life of this extraordinary man and illustrates the enormous value of archives as a resource for future research.
Watch James Lovelock talk about the inspiration behind his inventions and what the Science Museum means to him.
The Lovelock archive was acquired for the Science Museum with support from a number of generous individuals, corporations and charitable foundations.
Unlocking Lovelock: Scientist, Inventor, Maverick is funded as part of the Climate Changing Programme with thanks to:

King is a developer of cross-platform, bite-sized games, offering 150 exclusive games in 14 languages. The company has grown rapidly to become the second largest developer of games in the world on Facebook and a leader in mobile with over 108 million monthly players generating over 12 billion game plays per month across Facebook, mobile and the website www.king.com.
The recent announcement of its 10 year anniversary also brought the introduction of new company branding. The new positioning and identity was developed by working closely with King CEO Riccardo Zacconi, CMO Alex Dale, and their internal team. The new brand, based around the philosophy of "Bitesize Brilliance," is designed to position King as the leader in cross-platform, snackable entertainment experiences.
We started with a comprehensive phase of strategy. From Stockholm to San Francisco we created ideas with the executive leadership and business managers. We held workshops with developers, marketers and HR professionals. We spoke with industry professionals and analysts and conducted ethnographic research with players. And we played every casual game we could, from Candy Crush Saga to Angry Birds Star Wars.
Our brand strategist Liam Hamill explained, "King has gone through an amazing transformation as a business in the past 12 months and we wanted to help build them a brand experience that really sums up the magic and authenticity of the company behind the games and their unique culture of innovation, creativity, care and fun."
Isabelle Quevilly, digital director, added, "Today, with millions of games to choose from on iOS or Play stores, there are few brands you can really trust. When King came to us, it was clear what they offered was a real gem: games genuinely made to fit around players' lives. The new brand celebrates this vision, making it clear that wherever technology is going, King will remain a seal of quality and trust."
We created a new identity and personality that could bring the new brand strategy to life. A name change from King.com to King was proposed to represent a brand that was fit for all platforms and to make it feel a little less 90s dotcom. We helped transform an old-fashioned identity into a vibrant brand world that comes to life online, on tablets, on Facebook and beyond.
Stuart Watson, our creative director and partner, added, "We wanted to create an iconic visual identity for King that could sit alongside HBO and Pixar as a mark of the highest quality in entertainment. We designed a quirky new logo writing King in the shape of a crown — capable of working at 16 pixels square but at the same time scalable enough to make a big impact. Games like Candy Crush Saga are what people love about King, so we created a brand that compliments rather than dominates."
We also worked with King on brand architecture, tone of voice, internal engagement and brand communications to support the launch of the new brand.
"It has been great fun working with venturethree on this project. The whole company is very pleased with the result, in terms of both the look and feel of the new brand and how 'Bitesize Brilliance' encapsulates what we are doing in casual games."

5 appreciated remarks about "King"
I'm struggling right from the start. What is a bite-sized game? The graphics suggests colorful candy – something edible. But where is the game part? Something like Pac Man? I'm probably too old for this.
I saw this on the brand new website and one word came to mind – terrible. The style was never going to appeal to me – I'm probably not the target audience, but nevertheless everything about this is flawed from the basic idea to the execution which is dire including the ancillary typeface used with the main mark. Even on a basic communication level in terms of legibility I initially read "Lung" not "King", the crown was completely lost on me.
oooo Ash to say it's terrible is pretty harsh.
If you look at the games that King develop, like Candy Crush Saga, yo yo jackpot, princess peony for example, it fits in quite nicely. Dropping the dot.com also gives it a bit more a of a modern touch.
Personally I am not a fan of creating logo's in photoshop but in this case it is appropriate. The thing I am not a fan of is using it as a crown, it feels a bit awkward, possibly because the swoosh of the letter g does not join the bottom of the letter k. Not sure if it would help to join it up but it just doesn't quite sit right for me. That chaps front mullet also doesn't help. All in all the brand reflects the fun, play-fullness of the games in my opinion. I bet King are pretty happy with it. -
I'm with Christian and, to an extent, Ash on this – I'm definitely not the target audience. I'm not ancient, but I have no interest in these games.
As a brand, however, the visuals confuse me. It seems very childish, plus the pictures of sweets made me think it was a rebranding of some company like Haribo. The copy is also hit and miss. I like the 'Feet up. Phone out. Game on.' a lot, but 'The best stories are really short' misses the mark (quite aside from not really being true).
I don't the legibility is that much of a problem, as I read King quite easily. Also, as the company is already well established, I don't think confusion is likely. All in all, it's nicely put together but not really my cup of tea in terms of look or product.
I really like the logo type – I think it captures the spirit of the company and gaming in general really well. I didn't actually notice from the first image that it was a crown, but it's a cute touch. I'm not a huge fan of how it looks when used as a crown, but the inflatable balloons are awesome :)
What leaves me cold is the supporting type face – it just doesn't compliment the logotype at all. It's plain and corporate and brings the whole tone of the other branding elements down IMO.

Vitamin D: Why It's Important in Your Skin Care Business
By: Celeste Hilling
Posted: February 28, 2013, from the March 2013 issue of Skin Inc. magazine.
Mushrooms are an excellent source of vitamin D.
page 2 of 5
Vitamin D is only manufactured in one place—the skin. As people age, the skin's ability to produce vitamin D declines. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to chronic skin conditions, such as rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.5 Heavy wrinkling on the face and body results as people lose bone density due to lack of vitamin D.5
Just as vitamin C is now embraced as playing a critical role in immune defense both topically and internally, vitamin D sufficiency is proving to be even more critical to helping the body stave off disease and prevent some forms of depression, seasonal affective disorder, premenstrual syndrome and sleeping disorders.6
Contrary to what many believe, very few foods naturally contain vitamin D. Fortified foods provide most of the vitamin D in American diets.
Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel are among the best sources, and beef liver, cheese and egg yolks provide small amounts.
Mushrooms provide vitamin D. In some mushrooms that are available in stores, the vitamin D content is being boosted by exposing these mushrooms to UV light, making for a viable option for vegans and raw-diet followers.

Growth Patterns in the U.S. Organic Industry
U.S. consumer demand for organically produced goods has grown continuously since USDA established national standards for organic production and processing in 2002. According to new ERS estimates, the U.S. had 3.1 million acres of certified organic cropland in 2011 and 2.3 million acres of certified organic pasture and rangeland, continuing the long-term growth trend in this sector.
From the USDA Economic Research Service:
U.S. Certified Organic Acreage Rebounded in 2011
USDA set a uniform organic standard in 2000 to provide consumer assurance, and farmers with organic sales over $5,000 in a given year must obtain independent certification. ERS has tracked the amount of certified organic acreage and livestock in the United States since 1997, identifying State-level adoption patterns for over 40 commodities based on information from State and private organic certifiers. USDA currently provides accreditation to over 50 organic certifiers in the U.S.
According to new ERS estimates, the U.S. had 3.1 million acres of certified organic cropland in 2011 and 2.3 million acres of certified organic pasture and rangeland, continuing the long-term growth trend in this sector. Certified cropland and pasture dipped between 2008 and 2010 as sluggish growth in consumer demand during the recession dampened the short-term outlook for organic producers. However, the growth in certified acreage of both cropland and pastureland has more than recovered those losses and has reestablished its upward trajectory.
Fruit and vegetable growers and producers in other high-value, market-driven sectors have adopted organic management systems much more widely than producers of other crops, although they typically do not require large amounts of land to produce such crops. As a result, the distribution of certified cropland among crop specialties is a poor indicator of the relative value of the organic food produced by each specialty. For example, fruits and vegetables accounted for an estimated 43 percent of U.S. organic food sales in 2011 but only 16 percent of certified organic cropland.
Overall, certified organic cropland made up roughly 0.7 percent of U.S. cropland in 2011. Only a small percentage of the top U.S. field crops—corn (0.3 percent), soybeans (0.2 percent), and wheat (0.6 percent)—were grown under certified organic farming systems. On the other hand, organic vegetables (6 percent of U.S. vegetable acreage) and organic fruits and nuts (4 percent) were more common. Markets for organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs have been developing for decades in the United States, and fresh produce is still the top-selling organic category in retail sales. As a result, the distribution of certified organic cropland used to raise specific commodities differs substantially from the share of total cropland for these commodities in the conventional sector.

After it sat for a night, all layered, it tastes AWESOME. I think the sugar just needed to blend more with the cheese overnight. YUMMY. Will definitely make a day in advance the next time."
