Brick Transformed: The 2014 Wienerberger Brick Award Winners
The following news is presented by ArchDaily Materials, our new US product catalog.
The 2014 Wienerberger Brick Award Winners exemplify brick's potential in contemporary architecture, transforming the common brick into something spectacular. This year's jury featured 2012 Pritzer winner Wang Shu, who commented on the "spatial and secret" feeling of the Grand Prize Winning Kantana Film and Animation Institute. See all seven winners after the break.
VIDEO: In Boston, Reclaiming the Craft of Brick
Our friends at Mecanoo have shared a fascinating mini-documentary exploring the complex brickwork on display in their latest project in Boston's Dudley Square, the Dudley Municipal Center(nearing completion). Called "Boston Bricks with a Dutch Touch," this documentary features interviews with everyone involved in the project – from construction workers to architects – and focuses on the difficulty of using brick in this elaborate manner. Enjoy the video above and check out some fantastic images after the break.
Six Essential Materials & The Architects That Love Them
In case you missed it, we're re-publishing this popular post for your material pleasure. Enjoy!
To celebrate the recent launch of our US product catalog, ArchDaily Materials, we've coupled six iconic architects with what we deem to be their favourite or most frequently used material. From Oscar Neimeyer's sinuous use of concrete to Kengo Kuma's innovative use of wood, which materials define some of the world's best known architects?
Bricks Grown From Bacteria
A unique biotechnology start-up company have developed a method of growing bricks from nothing more than bacteria and naturally abundant materials. Having recently won first place in the Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Challenge, bioMason has developed a method of growing materials by employing microorganisms. Arguing that the four traditional building materials – concrete, glass, steel and wood – both contain a significant level of embodied energy and heavily rely on limited natural resources, their answer is in high strength natural biological cements (such as coral) that can be used "without negative impacts to the surrounding environment."
Video: Louis Kahn Talks to a Brick
In this jaunty little clip, Louis Kahn stresses the importance of honoring your materials to a group of students at the University of Pennsylvania.
Estonia-born in 1901, Louis Kahn had a steadfast belief that all materials had their own destiny and wouldn't tolerate any attempt to deviate from that. During the age of clean modernism and the use of cutting edge materials, his architecture was often dismissed for being overly symbolic and heavily venerating buildings of the past. Influenced by the arid nature of many of his sites, Kahn's buildings often took the form of cavernous brick shells with large geometrical cut outs, which he would like to describe them – in his bizarre Kahn-way - as ruins in reverse.
Here are a few of Kahn's intriguing brick creations:
For more information about Kahn and his brick channeling abilities you can read this rather excellent article by the Guardian's Olly Wainwright, entitled "Louis Kahn: the brick whisperer".

Shaft Archives - Robot 6 @ Comic Book Resources
Conventions | Vulture examines efforts by ReedPOP, producer of New York Comic Con and C2E2, to take a comic con-style approach to Book Expo America with BookCon, billed as "the event where storytelling and pop culture collide." On Saturday, the final day of the country's largest publishing trade show, the public is invited (for a $30 admission fee) to interact with authors and publishers, get autographs, attend film panels and even catch a sneak peek at an upcoming release. "You can see the Comic Con logic: Draw in rabid fans across genres and media any way you can," Vulture's Boris Kachka writes. "What publishers would like to know is whether they will come for the books — and eventually buy them." [Vulture]

May 7, 2013
Bidding the instructions on the box (Hurry up - Open me!), I eagerly unpacked my latest nutty shipment (arriving a day before I expected it). Considering I stumbled across this place while looking for bulk yeast, I can't express how excited I was to find raw organic whole unpeeled cacao beans!!!!! This is, of course, on top of all the lovely things like spirulina, chlorella, noni, moringa, maca (and other) powders and bee pollen! Holy jumpin' jehosanuts! I was literally jumping from one foot to another in the kitchen as I surveyed all my loot spread out on the counter. The free samples always delight - I'm overflowing with gratitude for the cheerful emails, packaging, shipping boxes, and generosity. The glass jar of vanilla bean honey was so well packaged it required a surgical procedure to unpack. I need to put saran wrap on my keyboard so I don't short it out with drool as I type this review... Cheers to a nutterful, nutulous day. True bodaciousnuts. Thanks for being your nutty selves!Jennifer, Milwaukee, WI

Tim Jamieson's 2012 recruiting class ranks 24th nationally. |
Oct. 25, 2012
COLUMBIA, Mo. - As the Mizzou baseball team transitions to the SEC this season, it will be bolstered by a 2012 recruiting that ranks 24th nationally according to Aaron Fitt at BaseballAmerica.com. The Tigers ranked one spot ahead of defending NCAA National Champion Arizona, the same team that eliminated Mizzou from the NCAA Tournament last year. The class, put together by the Mizzou coaching staff includes 19 student-athletes.
Headlining the class is Baseball America's No. 72 overall recruit Alec Rash, a right-handed pitcher from Adel, Iowa. Rash was drafted in the second round of the MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies but elected to enroll at Mizzou rather than take a big payday from the Phillies, making him the highest-drafted player to enroll in school this year. Fitt said this of Rash: `Long and lean, Rash works downhill with a 91-95 mph fastball with heavy life at his best, and he flashes a wipeout power slider, but he's still learning to repeat his delivery and command his stuff consistently.'
Fitt goes on to describe the rest of the Tiger signing class as a group `gritty, heady ballplayers' that should help make an immediate impact for the Tigers during their first season as members of the SEC. Fitt singles out utility man Keeton Steele, a 29th-round selection by the Tampa Bay Days in the MLB Draft, as another headliner. A utility infielder and right-handed pitcher, Steele could help the Tigers in a variety of ways this season. Fitt was also very high on Hutchinson Community College product Jace James, a 5-11 righty that, according to Fitt, could earn a spot as a starter for the Tigers this season.
Fitt identifies Kendal Keeton, an infielder from Walters State Junior College, as a potential starter up the middle and was high on Middle Georgia Community College catcher Dylan Kelly. He also listed Ryan Phillips of Columbia's own Rock Bridge High School as a potential utility player for the Tigers in the infield or a `fearless' pitcher that `attacks the zone with an 85-87 fastball and a slider.'
Shane Segovia, a third baseman from Northeast Texas Community College, was identified by Fitt as someone who could figure into the mix at third base for the Tigers while he predicted that Logan Pearson from Crowder Community College could make a huge impact for the Tigers in the outfield. Fitt was also high on Peter Fairbanks of Webster Groves, Mo., as someone who `works downhill with an 89-91 fastball and promising slider.'
Fans can get a look at the Mizzou baseball class and the rest of the defending Big 12 Champions next month when the annual Fall World Series begins on Nov. 2. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MUTigerBaseball.

Parenting is one of the most difficult jobs that most people will undertake during their lifetime. There are so many things that become issues when it comes to choosing the right path for your parenting style. There are hundreds of experts with hundreds of differing opinions about parenting. The media has varying opinions about parenting, and the way each of us was raised makes an impact on our parenting style. This makes the decision about how to parent your kids difficult to say the least. The key to parenting, no matter what style of parenting is chosen, is that the style of parenting should be agreed upon by both parents before any children are brought into the family. This is a critical discussion to have, especially if the parents were raised in vastly different types of homes.
This brings us to the discussion about authoritative parenting, of all recognized parenting styles this is the method recommended by the highest number of professionals. Authoritative parenting is a style of parenting where the parents believe in creating a close relationship with their children. They also believe in holding their children to a high level of achievement in everything they undertake. Authoritative parenting also believes in setting boundaries for the behavior of children. A child that does right receives high praise, and a child that does wrong or does not meet expectations is punished. People that practice this type of parenting do not necessarily believe in spanking, they will usually use other types of punishment.
One of the main keys to successful authoritative parenting is that the home features open communication between everyone in the home. The boundaries and expectations are communicated clearly to everyone in the home. This way the children know exactly what is expected of them, and exactly what will happen if those expectations are not met. The parents will also clearly communicate what rewards and punishments are to be expected for any particular action. Then both parents will uphold those rewards or punishments, this is possibly the most important aspect of any type of parenting. The parents must be on the same page when it comes to punishment. If one parent punishes a child, then the other lets the child off the hook, this can create chaos within the home. It will cause the children to use one parent against the other and thus cause a rift between the parents.
Another of the things that you will usually find in a home where the children are raised by authoritative parenting is that the parents are somewhat flexible about some rules and boundaries. As a child ages some rules are no longer necessary, this type of parenting will allow for flexibility in changing some rules or expectations as the children grow to adulthood. With authoritative parenting, the parents take on the responsibility of becoming role models for their children, and they act accordingly.
Authoritative parents will listen to their children, but they make all of the decisions and the decisions are final. This type of parenting will encourage children to be independent. It has been found that children that are raised in a home that practices authoritative parenting are happier, more emotionally stable, they have better social skills, and they are self-confident. These are the basics of authoritative parenting, and as you can tell, if done right this type of parenting should produce well-adjusted adults that are prepared to take on life.

Neither can I, but sadly, I have reported several incidents of animal abuse in my career as a journalist, but the stories have not gotten any easier to tell.
In the last few years, I have actually reported another incident of burning an animal. Someone poured boiling water or oil on a terrier mix. Phoenix, as she is known, did get her happily ever after. She survived and now has a wonderful family that loves her.
I have also reported animals dragged behind cars, thrown in ditches, and tied to trees without food, water, and shelter. It happens every day. In fact, I am reminded of the cruelty of humankind daily by looking at my own precious fur-babies.
Both my own dogs, Skipper and Don Juan, were abused and discarded like trash. Skipper was thrown in a trash dumpster on the edge of a highway, but a good Samaritan rescued him and sent him to the Jackson Humane Society from which I eventually adopted him. Don Juan was thrown from a moving vehicle. Luckily, another driver witnessed the act and picked him up before he was killed on the busy roadway.
My cat Deadline appeared one evening at the newspaper office in Winona. Surprisingly friendly, she had a number of metal pellets under her skin from a BB gun.
I realize that not all people love their pets as I do, but for someone to purposely harm another living creature just for the thrill sends a cold chill up my spine. I have said all along that with animal cruelty, there is a much more sinister side to this behavior. For those who find pleasure in abusing animals, it is only a matter of time before they move on to larger prey - people.
I would like to thank Doll Stanley and In Defense of Animals (IDA) for working hard to find and prosecute those responsible for unspeakable acts of cruelty against animals. In last week's prosecution, Stanley and IDA offered a reward for information leading to the prosecution of last week's conviction in Winona, something IDA does quite often.
Thanks to IDA and people like Stanley, many animal abusers have been punished over the years, but it seems their work is never finished, as more and more incidents of cruelty are reported.
Also working with Stanley and IDA, the Winona Animal Advocacy Group [WAAG] hopes to educate the public and provide medical care to stray and abused animals in Winona. In fact, one kind WAAG member took the burned kitten from last week's court case to the veterinarian's office for treatment. The injuries were so severe the animal had to be humanely euthanized.
IDA and WAAG are great organizations that do everything possible to care for neglected, abused, and homeless animals. The volunteers spend much time and energy and money to care for these animals - all with the hope that each animal can find a loving, safe and permanent home.
I urge all animal lovers to get involved in putting an end to animal cruelty. Trust me, one person's compassion can make a difference.
To volunteer or make a donation to IDA, contact Stanley at 662-809-4483. To volunteer or make a donation to WAAG, contact organization president Fay Welch at 662-310-3374.

Is there any reason to believe that the dozen companies Welch looked at are representative of the US economy as a whole? Is Welch really saying that looking at these 12 companies gives a better insight into the economy than the official establishment survey, which looks at 141,000 businesses covering 486,000 different worksites? And that aside, if businesses were indeed hiring again, and using their cashflow to employ people rather than just sending it into an ever-growing bank account, you'd expect their profits to go down rather than up. Welch didn't say that the companies he looked at weren't hiring; he just said they were making less money in net profit. Which could well be a positive sign.
Welch has statistical-methodology quibbles, too; these are nothing new. Indeed, as he points out in his column, as long ago as 2003 Austan Goolsbee was explaining in the NYT how Democrats and Republicans both have swelled the rolls of the disabled, with the effect that millions of people don't turn up any more in the official unemployment rate. If you're collecting disability, you don't count as unemployed — and the number of people collecting disability today is much greater than it was 30 years ago. As a result, it's difficult to compare today's unemployment rate with 1982′s.
But that kind of stats geekery will never set off the kind of Twitter firestorm that greeted Welch on Friday. The slanderous part of Welch's tweet was his assertion that the White House both could and did "change the numbers" for political gain. Not change the methodology, in some kind of public manner which statisticians could argue about — but instead pull some kind of shady Chicago political move, and release headline unemployment rate just under 8% in much the same way that Welch would regularly release earnings a penny above expectations.
And on that front, Welch is not apologizing in the slightest. Instead, he's just grudgingly diluting the suggestion a tiny bit:
If I could write that tweet again, I would have added a few question marks at the end, as with my earlier tweet, to make it clear I was raising a question.
Does he have any evidence that the Chicago guys might be manipulating data? No. Does he think it's even possible for the Chicago guys to be manipulating the data? Evidently, he does. What makes him say that? He won't say. But is it a legitimate question to raise? In Welch's eyes, absolutely, yes. If you're Jack Welch, it seems, any time there's US data which makes the government look good, the question can and probably should be raised: might the data be wrong? Or, might the government be manipulating it?
The paranoid style in American Politics is nothing new: it was famously diagnosed by Richard Hofstadter in 1964. It has a storied and ignoble history, and Welch is merely the latest in a very long line of American conspiracists. (And yes, of course, you can count Donald Trump in as a bedfellow.) Sometimes the paranoiacs are mostly on the left; these days, they're mostly on the right. But as with all conspiracy theories, nothing they say can ever be constructive: these are people who will attack empirical evidence long before they use it to help shape their view of the world.
And so, with one unretracted tweet, Welch has effectively rendered himself irrelevant in the so-called thought-leadership world he has dominated for so long. It's fine to have unusual or minority opinions. What's not fine is to base those opinions on nothing but ideology, and admit of nothing which could make you change your mind. At that point, you're not a thinker any more; you're a theologian. Welch has clearly decided that he would much rather be a pastor, preaching to a like-minded flock of WSJ op-ed page dogmatists, than a participant in substantive debate. The sad thing is that he received much more attention for his outbreak of crazy than he received in response to any of his less-bonkers pronouncements. Which is probably only going to encourage him, going forwards.

Thought I might be able to get some good advice here.... so here goes. Problem: Hillside in the back of the house, 2 hills, the lower one has some grass that the developer shot on, (I'm trying to water it and get it to fill in), 2nd. hill pretty much bare.
I started planting a bunch of "hearts and flowers" but because of the full sun, and the winds, the water dries out pretty fast. The only thing I have found to water the hillside was an impact sprinkler on a tripod (HD) and because of the wind, even that ends up watering my neighbors yard rather than mine. (I am going to try soaker hoses soon). Being concerned with the erosion, is the main reason for planting the H&F. I also planted a couple of plumeria on the hill because couple people told me it has a pretty good root system. Any ideas for any other deep root groundcovers/plants/trees to hold the soil? Any slope watering ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
1. Hearts and flowers are an escellent choice. Once rooted you wont have to water to establish. It will spread by itself. Other ice plants would work the same. 2. Spanish shawl (Heterocentron elegans) is a little larger and takes a little more water. When established, it doesn't need water either. 3. Arachis pintoi is a good choice but it takes a little more trouble and water to start. Has a deep root and makes a good ground cover. Grows about 4 inches high. Almost any tree would stabalize your slope. let me know if you want more suggestion. You can google any of these plants to see what they look like and growing requirements. Good Luck |
How much of a slope is it? Our lot is very steep, but it has been terraced and that does wonders for planting things. Rock faced embankments with mondo grass growing in the crevices will eventually look like a grassy lawn and you won't have to mow it. |

Blue Lonesome : Jim Messenger is a CPA who hates his job, loves jazz, and can't forget a woman he has seen eating at the Harmony Cafe. She goes by the name of Janet Mitchell, and when he introduces himself, her only comment is, "It won't do you any good." When she commits suicide, Messenger is driven to find out why. Her name is only the first of the lies he uncovers. In "historic Beulah," Nevada, secrets coil like rattlesnakes ready to strike, and suffering lies like a suffocating blanket over lives put on hold. Starting with one slender clue, Messenger embarks on a search for the truth that becomes a rite of passage. By the end, lives have been changed, a horrible murder brought to light, and a quiet, little town irrevocably torn apart.

This course provides advanced training in developing software using the Java Platform, Standard Edition, or Java SE. The course covers several general-purpose topics: using and building generic types, writing multi-threaded applications, the Reflection API and annotations, and network programming using sockets. It combines nicely with various other courses in the Java curriculum, each of which is also "advanced Java" of some sort: JDBC, secure coding, Swing GUI programming, design patterns, and so on.
Learning Objectives: * Make effective use of Java generic types. * Write multi-threaded Java applications. * Use the Reflection API for highly generic tasks, discovery, or code-generation. * Use standard annotations and develop custom annotations to express meta-data in Java source files. * Communicate between processes using network sockets.
This course is intended for students with solid experience in structured and object-oriented Java programming, including use of the Collections API and exception handling.
Solid Java programming experience is essential -- especially object-oriented use of the language. Language features and techniques that are integral to some lab exercises include interfaces and abstract classes, threading, generics and collections, and recursive methods.

Can anyone tell me what this is? It started growing in the fall, and has stayed green all winter. From 0 degrees to 10. It has not flowered yet. Leaves are 1 to 1 1/2 foot long. If it is a weed, I want to get rid of it before the spring. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not too sure about the weed, but it looks like you have some type of small thistle on the left (and on the right? kinda fuzzy) that sure needs to go. hortster |
That is Oenothera biennis, Evening Primrose. there is a good picture of the basal rosette at the link, scroll down to "first year rosette". |
Here is a link that might be useful: Minnesota Wildflowers
Thanks so much Jeanne! Thats the one! I've never seen a leafed plant like that stay green all winter. Thanks for your help, Dave |
It's one of the plantains. And yes, it's a weed. Remove it before it sets seed. |

text: By Mike Briotta PRIME Editor GREATER SPRINGFIELD -- Whether you got tricks or treats in your bag this Halloween, a local musical duo's new CD is offering ear candy for the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in all of us. Goodchild Badchild's debut "Yo Yo Stranger" is now available, and it's a perfect fit for the season. The Goodchild Badchild experience includes guitars, raps, laughter, electric violin, car sounds, harmonies and chimes. Their influences are just as eclectic as their instruments, ranging from Motley Crue and old school rappers to The Beatles. This diverse musical duo is composed of area talents Evan Goodchild and Anthony Danos. "We started writing these songs when we went to Salem for Halloween 2007," Goodchild recalled. "It's a wild place. There's Jesus freaks, witches, party people, extreme facial prosthetics ... impressive stuff." He added of his inspiration, "Music is nature; it comes from nature and is part of the universe. I think we have a new sound. These are really positive, fun songs. We're trying to go for something that is uplifting." The budding musicians first met as East Longmeadow schoolchildren, back in their formative days playing with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys. "We were in the East Longmeadow schools together," Danos said. "We were on the same bus route. We ran into each other between the ages of 6 and 8. It was always friendly. Evan had a jean jacket with a half ripped-off patch on it. He used to stick Cheetos in there, and so I called him 'Chester.'" Danos joked of the long-running nickname, "I haven't called him that for a little while. Now that we're talking about it, I'll probably pull that one out of the vault." Years later, at East Longmeadow High School, the duo traded musical ideas. That was when their worlds of hard rock and laid-back rap first coexisted. "He was into A Tribe Called Quest and Gang Starr, I had just started getting into Wu-Tang Clan, but really was coming off my obsession with Motley Crue," Danos recalled. "We collaborated on a couple of things and shared [music recording] software." Both are ELHS graduates from the class of 1999. Fast forward to their new CD. The tracks on "Yo Yo Stranger" were written when the two musicians lived near The "X" in Springfield. Goodchild has since moved to Northampton. Danos now splits his time between Western Massachusetts and New York City, where he works as an IT contractor for Warner Music Group. It's not a bad day job for an aspiring music star. "Usually, I'm here on weekends," Danos said of the Springfield area. "My job is in New York, but up until this year I was mainly doing music. I'm starting to figure out who's who at Warner Music Group and build a rapport with the people there." To help promote their CD, the pair also attended New York ComicCon this fall. It's not your typical hot spot for music business public relations, but it gave their tunes exposure to thousands of people. It also helps that they both enjoy comics and graphic novels. "It's great, anyone can hand stuff out there," Goodchild said. "Plus, we got to meet [animator] Bill Plympton." Ultimately, though, it's all about creating music for Goodchild Badchild. "We took on the beast known as rap-rock," Goodchild said. "We hadn't really done that before, to this extent. The songs are pretty varied. We've embraced the idea of crossing genres. Sometimes I call it 'rock-hop' instead of 'rap-rock' but either way it gets the point across." Staying true to that premise, "Yo Yo Stranger" starts off with a hard-rocking bang, channeling a Motley Crue vibe in the song "Peroxide." The CD then switches gears to also include the radio-friendly ballad "Fall in Line," and is finally reminiscent of rapper Eminem with the gritty, urban sounds of the closing song "Good Nights on the Road." Danos is a familiar character to local music fans, as he's also the bass player in the long-running rock group Gaiah, which toured up and down the East Coast and called Club Meadows its home turf. That band, coincidentally, is gearing up for a reunion performance of sorts in November at Club Meadows after a nearly two-year hiatus from playing shows. Goodchild also paid his dues in the area music scene, having been a member of experimental hip-hop group The Box Sets and previously with the rap group Church and Statement. He's now a residential counselor working with adults with disabilities. He was formerly a group marketing coordinator for Access2Media LLC, a Reminder Publications company. He also regularly volunteers at the East Longmeadow Public Library as a music consultant. Part of their plan is donating a portion of CD sales to charity. According to Goodchild, 25 percent of their iTunes sales were donated to breast cancer charities in October. "We just figured, why not?" Goodchild said. "A lot of people steal music anyway, let's face it. And instead of the local CVS asking you for your $1 donation, maybe we can help out this way." They're trying to raise funds for a video by asking for donations on kickstarter.com."We are trying to raise $1,000 via kickstarter," Goodchild said, "which has proven to be a successful fundraising tool for many grassroots projects. If successful with the fundraiser, we will take the money and make a music video to help further get the word out." He continued, "Also, there will be incentives for those who donate based on donation amount, such as signed CDs, bonus tracks, etc. We figure sharing the kickstarter info could also be of high interest to readers who want to tackle something but need help with the 'fundage.'" Fans looking to get in on the ground floor of their popularity are in luck. One fan may get even luckier - Goodchild Badchild is offering a promotion called "Fund the Fans" in which a fortunate fan will get $100 cash from the group once they reach 100 fans on Facebook. In order to play shows as a full group, Goodchild Badchild is currently looking for fellow musicians on drums, bass and guitar to complement Danos on guitar and Goodchild's vocal and rapping ability. "We want to get out and have a lot of fun," Danos said of the forthcoming concerts. "When we wrote this music, we wanted to take it to the next level." He concluded: "We're trying to get involved, to give back to the community. We appreciate the local music industry. It's not just about making money. The majority of the money in the music business is going away anyway. We're just trying to stir the pot a little bit." |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Squigy!
Facts about Squigy
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Squigy's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
She is very sweet and and is somewhat a talker she loves to cuddle . You must fill out an application for all our cats . She is 5 months .
Other Pets at Helping Hand Pet Rescue of West Virginia
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Squigy, a Saint Albans Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Saint Albans, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Saint Albans.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Saint Albans already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Saint Albans breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Saint Albans paves the way for another one to be saved.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges in San Francisco are set to hear arguments Monday in the fight to overturn Arizona's ban on abortions at 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Opponents say the regulation is unconstitutional because it prevents some women from having abortions before viability, the time that a fetus can survive outside the womb, about 23-24 weeks.
On July 30, U.S. District Judge James Teilborg refused to block the ban, saying it's a regulation and not a flat prohibition.
He ruled the law did not block a woman from choosing to have an abortion.
Nine other states also have 20-week abortion bans.
However, Arizona's ban is considered the earliest in the nation because it calculates the starting point of a fetus differently.

"Amazing! Sauce was excellent. Made on stove top. Seared boneless 1/2 inch pork chops then simmered in sauce for about 25-30 min until sauce thickened and reduced itself into a glaze-like texture. Definitely make double the amount of sauce. Even my pickiest eater was licking the plate, literally!"
"I Love it! I will never use anything else again. I even have some of the chocolate one handy."
"Now officially voted by my household as the favorite dish! Thank you so much for sharing."
"mmm!! I loved them like this. Usually I just mix olive oil, fresh or dried rosemary, and a little bit of kosher salt and marinate my zucchinis for a couple of minutes, but this was a very good change! Oh, and if I don't have time to grill them outside, I use our George Foreman grill. You get the same grill marks."
"Amazing sauce!! Just added a teaspoon or two of chili paste and it was very addicting."

If coat's too bulky, carseat harness might not work right
BY ADRIENNE SAMUELS GIBBS Staff Reporter December 18, 2013 4:17PM
What to wear
Local mom bloggers recommend the following options for warm yet thin coats.
(Test all coats for harness strap slack before use in a moving car.)

Baby, it's cold outside. But even as temperatures dip, parents should be careful about pairing bulky coats and child car seats. Most car seat manufacturers warn against big coats, saying the fabrics and fillers interfere with the safety of the seat.
At issue is the fact that bulky coats compress in a crash — even at low speeds. That means the harness straps could slacken in a crash, allowing the child to be ejected. (The Illinois Childhood Passenger Protection Act requires that all children under 8 use a child restraint system when riding in a vehicle. The state does not regulate coat usage inside of car seats.)
"Parents often have a hard time understanding crash dynamics," says Jennie Reiff, a child passenger safety technician and a local writer for carseatblogs.com. "In a way car seats are very simple, and in another way they are very complex. We have all that extra padding between us and the seat belt. It's something people don't think about."
That said, it's impractical for Chicagoans to place a coatless kid into a freezing car seat or to carry a coatless child outside in freezing temperatures. In those cases, experts say the best way to keep kiddos warm and safe is to reconsider the coat option. The hard, puffy, Michelin-man-esque toppers aren't the best car coats. Rather, parents should find a down coat that is super soft and very squishy — i.e., easily compressible under the seatbelt harness. Or, parents can try layering their children in thin fabrics that lock in warmth.
"Who's got 45 minutes to wrestle their child into the car?" says Amy Tara Koch, a local fashionista and author known for finding mom-friendly fashion solutions. Her kids wear thin layers in their car seats. "It's really difficult if the car is parked outside."
Koch recommends coats manufactured by Uniqlo, which she says are warm when layered with fleece and quite thin. "They are Japanese and the puffer coats are super thin but very insulated," she said. "In this weather, if it's below 32 degrees, you layer with a fleece under it."
Other Chicago parents recommend fleece jackets paired with windbreakers. And for infants or toddlers in rear facing seats, parents can first strap baby into the seat and then tuck an old-fashioned blanket around the child. Also safe are showercap-style car seat covers with an elastic rim but a middle opening for the child's face. (Note: J.J. Cole's Bundleme coverings are not recommended for use inside of car seats for the same reasons that bulky coats are not recommended for use inside of cars.)
Chicco, maker of car seats, recommends putting an older child in the car seat minus their coat, buckling him in and then putting the coat on backward over the child's arms.
"For a child's car safety seat to perform the way it was designed, the harness must fit properly and remain snug against your child's body. If the harness is not used properly, your child is at risk of injury," says Julie Prom, Chicco's child passenger safety instructor.
However, car seat safety technician and cars.com news editor Jennifer Geiger also suggests strapping an older kid in with their coat wide open, so that the car seat harness straps are pulled tight on the chest versus on the coat. Otherwise, she says, a car seat poncho works well for older kids in front-facing seats. For infants up to 30 pounds, Chicco offers an attachable "boot" for some car seats (some versions of the Chicco Keyfit 30). It's essentially a manufacturer-produced infant car seat cover that will not interfere with the harness.
"The tricky thing is that obviously you don't want to loosen your straps to fit into that coat," says Geiger, who lives in Chicago. "But if the coat is open, and the child is already in the coat and the coat is already compressed against her back, that's not going to affect the fit of the straps. You don't want more than an inch of slack in that chest harness clip."
No matter what method is used, parents should test their kid's current car seat coat safety as follows:
† Put coat on baby, and put baby in car seat. Pull straps as tight as possible. Lock baby in car seat.
† Take baby out of car seat without loosening straps.
† Take coat off baby and return baby to car seat. Strap baby back in without adjusting straps.
† If the straps are loose, then the coat is not thin enough for the car seat.

How We Recycled Baby's Outfits from His First Year
Posted by Chad Carter
You might remember that a few weeks ago, I wrote about the First Year Outfit Quilt we were having made to celebrate and commemorate Wyatt's first year.
Well, it's back, and we couldn't be happier! It's the perfect way for us to remember all those wonderful outfits he sported and how small he was, especially once he hits the teenage years.
A Shared Room for Brother and Sister
Posted by Kristel Acevedo
When we moved into our current home with three bedrooms, we decided to put Liam and Isabel in separate bedrooms. We figured we had the space, and it would probably be better for both of their nighttime sleeping if they didn't share. As time went on though, we were facing sleep challenges from both kids.
Liam was always leaving his room and coming to ours because he was scared. And Isabel seemed to hate sleeping in the crib and would often end up sleeping in Liam's bed while Liam slept in our bed. It was like we were all playing musical beds all night long in our house. So one day we finally decided to try something new and throw the kids in one room together. Bonus: the third bedroom is now my home office. ::happy dance::
It's been a great transition so far. Liam has taken on the role of protective big brother – making sure his sister isn't alone and scared. He usually stays in his bed all night with an occasional early morning snuggle in our bed. Isabel still wakes at least once a night but will remain sleeping in her own bed rather than being paraded around the house searching for a more comfortable sleeping arrangement.
I love the way their room came out. The bunk bed is perfect for their age. I decided to make the room as colorful as possible since the rest of our home is pretty neutral. I wanted the space to be fun and kid-friendly. I don't know how long they will be sharing a room but I'm thinking the next few years at least. I'm hopeful that in the long-run they will have a closer bond and a less entitled attitude since they are used to sharing.
Do your kids share a bedroom?

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002
rot's review:
This trilogy tends to be better in memory than in the three hour portions of the thankfully unextended versions. It is impressive in doses, and in this part, Gollum and attack on Helm's Deep still hold up. What you forget are the scenes with the Trees, Aerwyn's sappy flashbacks, the endless shots of characters running across landscapes.
1 Comment
Sadly, that is the stuff I remember about this one. I remember almost nothing about Return of the King except I liked it a bit more (which seems odd now).

1-Tier Slide-Out Organizer 11-1/2"Wx17-3/4"Dx6-3/8"T
Best Ever
OMG, these pull out shelves are almost as good as sliced bread!! I highly recommend them....best quality I have seen yet. You wont be disappointed.
March 26, 2014
Fabulous shelving
I ordered two set of these shelves and they are wonderful. Took very little time to install and put together. They are very heavy duty and look great. I had been searching for a very long time to find some that were narrow enough (11.5 inches) to fit into my cabinets. Needless to say I was very excited to find these in the perfect size. Great product and I will order again if I need shelving.
March 21, 2014
sturdy pull-outs
These seem to be pretty sturdy, I managed to get them on sale so was happy w/ that. I felt like a contortionist getting them set in, but overall was a pretty simple install. You do lose some square footage of storage, but it's worth being able to pull your contents out.
March 14, 2014
These slideout shelves are the best thing that has happened to my kitchen. If only the rest of my house was as well organized. I can't say enough good about them. I am very happy.
March 12, 2014
Pull out shelves - fantastic
We have done our whole kitchen with these shelves. They are easy to install and incredibly strong. We put stacks of canned goods on them with no problem. Pots and pans, misc storage items. Just fantastic. Such a space saver and eliminates the need to kneel on floor to find those things lost in the back. Good buy and quality product.
March 7, 2014
Just what we were looking for !
The quality of this slide out organizer is great. The unit is made of heavy metal-think it will last a long time. The finish, chrome, is flawless. The basket rides on the tracks without any problems. Install was easy and simple. Wish I had more places to take care of so I can order more of these.
March 6, 2014
Will last a lifetime
This is a really sturdy, well-made product. I needed something to help me reach the back of my cabinet and this is perfect. The measurements were also right on.
February 1, 2014
great but...
does everything as described, but would be better if the sheves slide independantly.
February 1, 2014
Exactly what I was looking for
I was in the market for a roll out shelf that would house our paper shredder. This item fit the bill perfectly and was easy to install.
January 15, 2014
This is a really great sliding shelf
I have a double shelf under each one of my kitchen sinks you wouldn't think they would hold much but is unbelievable how much they hold. Love theHave already ordered 2 more for my pantry getting ready to install them
January 7, 2014
Well built
Seems to be a great product. Unfortunately I couldn't install it cause it was a little be wider than the advertised size of 20". I only had 20'' and with the glider carriage it was about 20 1/4''.So I ordered the next size down.
November 20, 2013
Heavy duty
The two-tier sliding organizer is a quality item. It is heavy duty and durable, needs almost no assembly and works well. I highly recommend this product.
November 6, 2013
Worth The Effort
I have had my eye on this item for some time waiting for the price to come down. I ordered two for my cabinet. I'm retired and have accumulated lots of pots over the years and every time I needed a pot I had to take everything out of the cabinet, bent over for some time and then put everything back. Then, after it was cleaned, had to repeat the process. My back was killing me. I installed these myself and would have found it much easier if I could have put the tracks down first, then slide the drawer on like a regular drawer. I was going to call a handyman, but if I was having a hard time getting into the back of the cabinet, a man wouldn't have had a chance. I stuck with it, however, and couldn't be happier. Now all I have to do is pull out he drawer and take the pot I need. I would recommend the product with the caveat that it is difficult to install and one would have to pay a professional.
November 5, 2013
This is a restaurant quality product. Well-made and definitely exceeded my expectations.SOLID,(and attractive)I could not have asked for more!
October 3, 2013
20X21 inch 1 Tier Slide-Out Organizer
Love this product. Can't wait to get it installed. It is just a hair too large for the cabinet so I have to have a modification made to the wall of the cabinet. I hope I can make it work. Well built.
September 18, 2013
Better than Described in the catalog
The dimensions are true. Very easy to assemble and put in. It fit perfectly where I wanted to place it. It is very well made, very sturdy, no wobbles, very heavy duty.. I wouldl most defininately recommend it to other people.
August 14, 2013
1 1/2 Tier Slide-Out Organizer
Ordered two 1 1/2 tier organizers and they arrived in good shape and within the delivery date stated by seller. Rails, carriage, baskets, and support posts are all heavy duty, very sturdy and well finished. I prefer the bottom mount rails that come with these units to side mount rails and they were very easy to align and install. I installed one unit as a left slide out and one unit as a right slide out under the sink in my wet bar. They will work well for storage of supplies or bottles of wine and my wife is very pleased with their appearance and function. We are looking to order more units of both single and 1 1/2 tier organizers for use in bathrooms, kitchen and garage workshop cabinets.
July 24, 2013
Sliding storage
Very sturdy. Held large mixer with no problem. Installation somewhat tricky as the screws in the back were somewhat difficult to reach. Once installed it was very sturdy and works great. Will invest in another sliding storage for adjacent cabinet.
July 10, 2013
Got product but it cost you
This slide out is extremely nice and well crafted, but by no means is it cheap. Just my two cents.
June 25, 2013
Great addition to our camper
Bought these for some deep shelves in our camper that were hard to get to. These have greatly improved my ability to get to the things in the back. Definitely worth the price...
April 13, 2013
Love it!!!!
I easily installed the organizer. No more lost canned goods in back of cupboard. I entend to get two more.
April 8, 2013
Great Product
I loved this item. It made my cabinets so much more accessible and I can store more things. I thought the price was a little higher but for the quality and durability its worth the price. I put these in my lower cabinets that are 22in deep so we could not get the screws into the last 2 in the back but it still works great and seems to be holding strong. I would definitely recommend this product.
April 6, 2013
Terrific quality.
Very easy to install. Extremely well made. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!
April 6, 2013
Love 'em!
Very strong and easy to install. I would purchase these again.
April 6, 2013
Great Product
I think these pull out shelves are great because you don't have to unload the cabinet to get what you need.
March 27, 2013
The shelving unit is awesome - looks high class, performs very well, easy t o install! Wished I would have bought this a long time ago. Thanks!
March 21, 2013
Organization Is the Key to Happiness
Stainless steel organizers offered by this company are durable and easy to install. They are expensive, but much less expensive that attempting to hire someone to customize your kitchen cabinets. They accomplish the same goals--to have a kitchen that is pleasing to the eye and in which it is easy to prepare meals. There is no more rumbling around cabinets, moving pots and pans in and out, making noise, and being frustrated. Cooking utensils, pots, and pans are easy to find.
March 19, 2013
very nice!
Works and looks just like catalog description. I wish it came in additional sizes though. I have another cabinet that is slightly narrower and the smallest version of these shelves is too big. A 10 or 10.5 inch width would be nice.
February 26, 2013
Thought the piece a little pricey but once we received and installed, in comparison to similar product of the same price, the rolling shelf exceled in every category. We'll continue purchasing these units until the entire kitchen in accomdated.
February 22, 2013
Don't put this off!
Wow! I have contemplated this rack for a lower storage for some time.... was not sure if I needed it or not... for where I store my Kitchenaide Prof. mixer, blender, and such. But, it makes it SO EASY to access these items... no more bending down on my knees to wrangle them out from the back recesses. I couldn't be happier with a product!!! it's easy to install ( may take some upper body flexibility in a tight space), just put it where you want it, (tape it down to secure) clearly mark the position of each hole with a sharpend pencil, long nail or the like, then remove the unit, checking that all drill locations visible. Drill the pilot holes, dust, reinsert the rolling tray and use an extended screwdriver to complete the installation. Then pat yoursef on the back for a job well done and a terrific addition to the kitchen!

I have purchased some Dutch Iris bulb and was wondering whether I could grow pieces/parts of bulb rather than entire/full bulbs? What I mean is: can I cut the bulb in half (horizontally/vertically), in quarters and still hope a flower could grow out of that bulb? I would love to get some pointers/literature reference on bulb structure and what parts of the bulb are essential for the growing of a plant. Thanks in advance! AF |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Fargaud and welcome to Garden Web and The Bulb Forum. was wondering whether I could grow pieces/parts of bulb rather than entire/full bulbs? What I mean is: can I cut the bulb in half (horizontally/vertically), in quarters and still hope a flower could grow out of that bulb? The basal plate is the small root area on the bottom of the bulb. For several years now I've been wanting to try my hand at propagating daffodils by division of the basal sections of the parent bulb, but just haven't gotten to it. Maybe 2012 will be the year for me to try. The link below tells about the various propagation methods, along with good pics. I'm not all that familiar with dutch iris bulbs, other than I know they have basal plates just like daffodils, so they should be able to be propagated the same way. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Good luck and if you try it, please try and report back to us on how it goes. chemocurl...aka Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Propagation of Daffodils
Just to clarify.... cutting bulbs is done to multiply some varieties, but the way you are describing would mean no blooms the next spring. Most spring bulbs have a flower ready to go inside the bulb. Cutting the bulb as described will most likely destroy the flower bud. |
Any of several methods may be used to multiply your stock, but all will require a year or two for the bulb to grow large enough to produce a flower. Al |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gretchen!
Facts about Gretchen
- Breed: Dachshund/Poodle (Miniature) Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Gretchen's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Gretchen is a 6-8 week old girl. She is a dachshund/ poodle mix, with the softest fur. She does shed. Gretchen likes to spend her day playing with toys, playing with her foster friends and exploring the house. She is pad trained, and will go potty outside if you take her out. She is a sassy spunky puppy that will steal your heart. Gretchen is fostered in Huntsville, AL. To meet her, please email email@example.com
Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Homewood
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gretchen, a Homewood Dachshund/Poodle (Miniature) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Poodle (Miniature) for sale in Homewood, or seeking a Dachshund/Poodle (Miniature) puppy from a breeder in Homewood.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Homewood already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Homewood breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund/Poodle (Miniature) breeders who help with Dachshund/Poodle (Miniature) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Homewood paves the way for another one to be saved.
