I'm currently decorating my new house. In my living room, I wanted to put wall decals of picture frames on one of the walls, but decided against it because the wall decals looked cheap. I want to paint multiple picture frames of different shapes and sizes onto my wall instead. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks! ___________ valuepointdistribution.com |

Just go to the Goodwill and Salvation Army and garage sales and pick up $1 picture frames and use the real things. |
Trompe-l''┐Įil frames are a real artistic undertaking. they take many hours to get correct ad have the, look real (at lest at first glance. The shadows needed to make them appear to stand out from the wall are one of the more difficult things. Some yard sale frames (or Goodwill) with a new piece in the frame is going to be easier. |

I have seen some really nice decals that don't look cheap, because they aren't :) but I agree most do peel and look cheap. I would find some stencils instead. Or use some painters tape for a straight edge frame, then to add texture by painting over lace or stickers (peel off) for a nice design. I would also really consider going to a goodwill and just find some frames and spray paint them, easier and less time consuming IMO. I did this and when I get sick of them all I need to do is spray them again or take them down. It is only paint so good luck! |

Fine Art America can virtually decorate your office
Augmented reality is becoming big news on smartphone and tablet apps, and the technology is now being used by photo resource website Fine Art America for its innovative new iPad app (free, iTunes).
The app houses over four million images, which can be purchased for framed, canvas or acrylic prints, but what is more impressive about the application is that you can see how it would virtually look in your office or house using the iPad's camera.
On opening up the application, you can scroll through these images by keywords, size, collections and favorites. On selecting your preferred image, you can change the image size and currency and then get a feel of how it would look in a room by tapping 'Wall View'.
Monitor security cameras remotely using OnVu360
Oncam Grandeye, a self-proclaimed innovator in 360 degree camera surveillance, has released OnVu360, a mobile iPad app that lets users view live HD video recordings right from their tablet.
Having downloaded the application (free, iTunes), users can stream footage from Oncam Grandeye's cameras over WiFi, 3G and 4G and at up to 5MP. Users can also pinch to zoom to get a closer view of what is happening.
The app has a few demos running on launch but companies looking to purchase their cameras will need to buy the products in-app.
The app supports iOS devices running iOS 5.0 or later or so can run on the iPad, iPad mini and iPhone 5.
Life organizer Weave now offers support for the iPad and iPad mini
Intuit's personal organizer iOS app, Weave, has been available since October but recently updated to version 1.17, which brings about native support for the iPad and iPad mini.
So, what does Weave do? Put simply, the app (free, iTunes) is designed to keep you organized on everything in your life from what's happening with your business and hobbies to upcoming trips and chores.
Using Weave, you can plan a trip, collaborate on projects with business partners and employees, and share household chores with members of your family. You can also set reminders to doing certain tasks, like paying the rent or doing the weekly shop.
Data can be synced between iPad and iPhone by creating an optional account, while Weave enables you to keep up to date with each task and how long you're spending on it. These to-do tasks can also be prioritized to increase productivity.
Groupon's Breadcrumb POS gets an update
Breadcrumb, the point-of-sale provider now owned by Groupon, has updated its POS iPad app (free, iTunes) to enable easier sign-on and access to card payments, as well as the ability to split check payments evenly.
The latest version of the app, now on version 1.2, is designed to be "faster and easier to use". For instance, employees now must sign on using a four-digit pin (as opposed to having a username and password before).
Other features now allow a bill to be split among four or five credit cards automatically with just one touch, while swiping credit cards will instantly bring up a table's check.
Larger venues will be glad to learn that employees can sign into various locations using a single username and password, while another new feature, 'Quick Save', can set-up or save to an existing tab in seconds.
Breadcrumb starts from $99 a month for one iPad with an unlimited number of users and free updates.

Avengers Movie Review
Disney/Marvel Movie Review: The Avengers is all anybody who loves fun, action packed films, based on comic book characters needs to quench his/her nerd turned trendy thirst. Sitting in the audience at one point I thought, Im watching a movie about multiple super heroes in tights, and Im not alone. This film has not only captured the essence of the books and is the gigantic payoff in Marvels ...ongoing series featuring Iron Man, Captain America, The Mighty Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye but it's made it all mainstream. A film chalk filled with a ton story that in my opinion is never too much. Joss Wedon has written and directed a super hero masterpiece despite his lack of feature writing and directing experience leading up to it. The Phil Jackson of the cinema took a group of highly talented movie stars and produced an epic experience. I can only hope hes connected to the future of the series. There are more than a few sprinkles of humor and the packed house I saw it with added applause to the laughs. It does fall on the violent side as most action films do these days and SPOILER: had a shocking death scene to a pivotal character which is why I presume it garnered a PG13 rating, but I brought my 6½ old boy who was never frightened nor bored. I cant find much to ding this movie on so I wont try. Its a must see for fan boys and girls everywhere and I believe the casual supers fan would enjoy it too. 5 Stan Lees out of 5.

Backyard Orchard News
Caught in the Act
You may not know about Lavandula "Goodwin Creek Gray" but the honey bees do.
They love lavender.
That's one of the plants selected for the Haagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven, a half-acre bee friendly garden being implemented near the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis.
The Goodwin Creek Gray, a cross between Lavandula dentata and Lavandula lanata is a hearty plant with lavender floral spikes and silvery-gray, sawtoothed leaves.
Ground preparation is under way, and the project should be completed and open to the public by Oct. 16.
A Sausalito team (landscape architects Ann Baker and Donald Sibbett, interpretative planner Jessica Brainard, and exhibit designer Chika Kurotaki) submitted the winning design (online).
The garden will provide a year-around food source for honey bees and create awareness for the plight of the honey bee. Visitors can glean ideas for their own bee friendly gardens.
The plants will include such bee favorites as lavender, sage, tower of jewels, swamp sunflower, catmint, angelica, clover, California buckwheat, California honeysuckle, woodbine honeysuckle, passionflower vine, globe thistle, coral bells, dwarf plumbago, dwarf oregano, purple dome aster, Mexican daisy, silver carpet aster, deer weed and mother of thyme.
With such a smorgasbord to choose from, it will be interesting to see which blossoms the bees go to first.
I'm betting on four: lavender, sage, catmint and tower of jewels.

Nature Meets Art
Butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs and honey bees.
What exists in nature is replicated in art.
We sculpt them, draw them and paint them. We create their images on everything from clothing and jewelry to quilts and stepping stones. We never tire of their shapes, colors, textures and the extensive variety.
Many replicas find their way into exhibits at county fairs.
We saw more than a dozen "insects" today in McCormack Hall at the Solano County Fair, Vallejo. A butterfly morphs into a quilt. Another butterfly yields its shape for a stepping stone. A honey bee transforms into a keychain. Dragonfly and ladybug decorations glide and crawl among the exhibits.
The 60th annual event, set July 22-26, is themed "Raisin' Steaks" but it's also raising awareness of nature.
And why not?
Insects reign supreme in sheer variety and abundance. Scientists have recorded some million insects to date. Millions of others await identification. In total volume, there could be as many as 200 million insects for every human on the planet. They're all around us.
Interesting that we seek beneficial insects for our gardens, but the "revolting ones" we set aside for horror movies.

Gone Fishin'
It's not just two-legged humans that take a dip in the pool.
So do six-legged honey bees searching for water.
When temperatures soar, honey bees scramble to collect water for their colony. They release droplets of water in the hive as their hardworking sisters fan their wings to "cool it." This airconditioning system works much like a swamp or evaporative cooler.
Usually honey bees seek water from bird baths, fish ponds, streams, fountains, dripping faucets, freshly watered potted plants or sprinkling systems--and sometimes even Uncle John's wet laundry dripping from the clothesline.
Unfortunately, however, bees inadvertently seek another source: swimming pools. They seem to have no depth perception.
Last weekend, scores of bees plopped into our pool. We netted the struggling bees one by one.
One small step...one giant leap...
Almost all of the Apis mellifera we fished out of the pool were Italian--the common amber-colored honey bee that we're all accustomed to seeing. But one was a Carnolian, a dark honey bee.
The Carnolian looked quite ragged, observed UC Davis bee breeder-geneticist Susan Cobey, manager of the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, who rears New World Carniolans.
This bee certainly didn't look like a well-groomed bee fresh out of the bee-ty parlor.
To avoid wayward bees, it's a good idea to cover your pool when you're not using it. You can also provide a nearby bee friendly watering device so they'll go there instead of your pool. .
When bees deliver water to the hive, the other bees recognize the source by its scent, said Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty.
"They can tell its origin, where that water came from," he said.
All the more reason to provide a better watering hole.
Italian bee
Up and Over
Seeing Red
It's triple-digit hot and you're relaxing in a swimming pool when suddenly you realize you have company.
A knat-sized insect with a red abdomen lands next to you. It looks like a wasp. No, it looks like a bee. Wait, what is it?
In this case (see photo below), it's a female cuckoo sweat bee from the genus Sphecodes, according to native pollinator specialist Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor of entomology at UC Davis.
Sweat bees are attracted to perspiring skin and often drop into swimming pools where they greet you with a brief but sharp sting.
Sphecodes are cuckoo or parasitic bees. They don't collect pollen or provide for their young because they don't need to. They lay their eggs in the nests of other bees. When the larvae hatch, they turn villainous and eat the young of the host bee. They also steal the provisions.
These bees, from the family Halictidae, are really tiny, about 0.2 to 0.6 inches. You'll see them from late spring until early fall
It's a large genus, with about 80 known species in the United States and Canada, says entomologist Mace Vaughan of the Xerces Society.
In most species, females are dark red with a shiny abdomen, Vaughan says, while males have a partially or entirely black abdomen.
Call them cuckoo bees. Call them parasitic bees. Call them clepto-parasitic bees. Whatever you call them, you'll remember that red abdomen and sharp sting.
You'll see red for just a little while.

Bruce's Big Balloon Battle at Briggs
The economy is tanked. The cuts keep coming. The smiles fade.
Not tomorrow.
Friday afternoon, July 17 is the seventh annual Bruce's Big Balloon Battle at Briggs.
Bruce? That would be Bruce Hammock, distinguished professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, and a longtime member of the National Academy of Sciences. He and fellow researchers, faculty, staff and students will leave their offices and labs at 1:30 p.m. to fill up 2500 water balloons, and then exactly at 3:45 they will...ahem... throw them at each other on the north lawn of Briggs Hall.
Fact is, they work hard and they play hard. The annual balloon battle is how they spell R-E-L-I-E-F.
Hammock's research and daily schedule would overwhelm most scientists. He holds a joint appointment in cancer research with the UC Davis Medical Center. He directs the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Superfund Program on the UC Davis campus, as well as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Training Program in Biotechnology and the NIEHS Combined Analytical Laboratory. His discovery of an enzyme inhibitor that holds promise to control human diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma and cystic fibrosis) is now a first-in-class drug in human clinical trials.
But this noted entomologist who switched his research from pest control to human pain control, also excels at water balloon battles--so much so that nobody, but nobody can beat Bruce Hammock.
Still, Hammock lab researcher Christophe Morisseau, coordinator of the 2009 and 2008 battles, tries. Morisseau's aim is good, but Hammock's feet are faster.
The best part is when the water warriors deplete their water supply and chase each other with tubs and buckets of water.
Check out the 2008 battle, the 2007 battle and the 2006 battle.
Just water--nothing else--is tossed.
Oh, but what if...
Aftter the 2006 battle, we asked Jason Graham, a forensic entomology researcher who works with blow flies and maggots, if he planned to compete the following year. "I'd like to participate next year," he said, "but I don't think they'd appreciate what we have to throw."

The December issue of Vogue, on newsstands November 24th, features the luminescent Cate Blanchett, as she takes on one of the great dramatic roles of all time: Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire.
Reporter Adam Green interviewed Cate, and says Blanchett remains a creature of the stage, and sits down with the self proclaimed theater geek, as she opens up about the importance of theater, her career choices and her family.
Cate on the importance of theater:
In the wake of everything thats happened in the world in the last eighteen months, were thinking about what weve lost. So much of the play is about the death of poetry and idealism and hopethe fine, delicate things in our lives, the intangible, ephemeral things in our liveswhich theater actually represents, doesnt it? Its ephemeral by its very nature. If youre not there, you miss it. Its gone.
On appreciating the sense of stability that staying semi-put and working regular hours has allowed both Blanchett and husband, Andrew Upton, to give their three boys:
There are so few experiences in our manicured, nanny-stated existence that have the quality of circus. Theater still does. And so, when the boys arent playing with friends, they can usually be found playing backstage. Theyre always engaged in the family business, so to speak.
On career choices:
Im not very cautious or careful. Its always been more about having a variety of experiences than any planned trajectory I think that in a way, projects choose you.
Geoffrey Rush spoke about Cate Blanchett:
As an actor, you either work off your own personality, and thats what youre peddling, or, like Cate, you draw out from the source material all the many dark, mysterious, and conflicting elements of the character that are going to make it engaging and trilling for the audience.

$4M+ GiftCard.com seller is no stranger to big ticket domain sales
Seller also sold CashBack.com to Microsoft.
Yesterday Gift Card Lab announced that it had acquired GiftCard.com for over $4 million in cash and equity.
The purchase was not just a domain name; it came with a long running business that also included the 1-800-gift-card vanity number.
I confirmed with Gift Card Lab that it paid $4 million in cash and the equity was on top of that. But I also wanted to check in with the seller, Maynard Small.
He confirmed that the sale included a $4 million cash component plus the equity.
As I talked to Small this morning I began to have a sense of de-ja-vu. Then it hit me: I had talked to Small many years ago when he made another big sale.
Small sold Microsoft the CashBack.com domain name in 2008 when the company released its cash back search promotion.
Although Small could not tell me how much he sold CashBack.com to Microsoft for, he did say he sold CashBack.net to a different company for six figures.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Small got his degree from the University of Nebraska back in the 1950s. He has been at the helm of his company Creative Marketing Associates for nearly forty years after a fifteen year stint at another company.
So you might assume that the GiftCard.com sale is Small's last hurrah before he goes off to buy a beach home. But you'd be mistaken. Small has many ideas for new business ventures, and he's actively working on the next ones.
Don't be surprised if you see another story about Small on Domain Name Wire in the future.
7 Comments
If he was a broker, I would go with him
Small is a nice guy, spent hours on the phone with him before the cashback.com sale. The people who usually make it are humble to listen, learn from others. Small fits the criteria very well.
Yes, and cahback.com resolves to Bing.com. Interesting…
Did he say what he bought those names for and when?
How long did he hold them and did he have them parked or just a plain for sale page? -
Interview the man in depth if you could, lots of questions

It probably started when I moved to Europe. I would spend a lot of time online communicating with my friends and family back in the States and of course online shopping to get comforts from home.
The funny thing is that when I returned home to the U.S. I spent an crazy amount of time buying beautiful baby clothes from Europe and wishing that Zara had online shopping. For me of course.
I always say that I quit my 'real job' over six years ago. You know that professional go to the office job that I used my degree for. The job that had me in meetings and flying this way and that way..but mostly in meetings and preparing Power Point presentations. Does Power Point still exist?
Since quitting that 'real job' – I now run an online consignment shop, I write, I dabble in photography, I shop, and have now been a clothing rep for nearly four years.
It seems that I've been working all along..and all of it is online. And all of it is visual. And beautiful.
And keeps me home. Where I like to be.
This visual working (and shopping if you must mention it) became even more beautiful when Pinterest came about and I became a full-fledged addict this Fall.
Do you see this beauty? I created this…by pinning all the beautiful things I like and shop for or want to do or want inspiration from or want to create.
It's all there. It's the ultimate visual marriage between companies and consumers.
And it's the fastest growing social media platform on the web.
And I blame it all on Jessica from Four Plus an Angel for making sure I became addicted.
I'm glad she did..because as of today we have now joined forces and created our own social media consulting team based solely around Pinterest.
Today I could not be happier to say that our new venture, Pin Savvy Social, has launched. We will spotlight amazing companies and products in the weeks to come and give you all kinds of Pinterest-centered activities with lots of chances to win new products.
Head over to Pin Savvy Social today for our first fabulous company spotlight complete with an amazing giveaway – $100 gift card from Little Skye Children's boutique!!

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 Leila!
Facts about Leila
- Breed: Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Leila's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
SCR received a phone call asking to please help a "Collie" whose owner had died and was now with another rescue up in Ridgecrest. After pony expressing her down to Orange County it was obvious that she was an overweight Sheltie. Leila weighs 57# and needs to lose about 15#. She reportably snapped at a young child and thus needs an adult home or one with teenaged children or older. She has been medically neglected and allowed to be overweight for over a year. Leila has now had a thorough exam, bloodwork, and xrays as she had a slight limp in the past. Her xrays show some arthritis in her wrists and elbows thus being aggravated by her excess weight. She is on a strict diet. Our vet also recommends she stay on glucosamine/chondroitin for her joints, limit the use of stairs, and no jumping out of vehicles. Leila is not hyper nor is she a barker. She needs a home with a family who understands a Sheltie. Leila is now a contented housedog enjoying the company of several collies and she even plays with a 7 month old pup.
Other Pets at Southland Collie Rescue - Orange County
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Leila, a Trabuco Canyon Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog for sale in Trabuco Canyon, or seeking a Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog from a breeder in Trabuco Canyon.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Trabuco Canyon 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 Trabuco Canyon 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 Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog breeders who help with Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Trabuco Canyon paves the way for another one to be saved.

This one-of-a-kind theatre provides an amazing live entertainment experience no matter what time of year you're visiting! Whether you've seen the Liverpool Legends here in the past, caught the great Broadway-style production of "A Christmas Snow," or one of the headlining acts like the Texas Tenors or Bill Anderson who have made an appearance on the stage.
One of the most unique and easily-recognizable theatres in town, this property has played host to some of the biggest names to visit Branson.
Set along the famous "Strip" that runs through the heart of town, the building is distinguished by its beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows and glass that forms one of the largest atriums in the Midwest.
Once inside, you will be welcomed by a miniature city that includes a diner for lunch or dinner and is home to the box office, gift shop, and concession stand.
I worked and lived in Branson for 11 years. I remember when the Starlight theater was the Barbara Fairchild Theater. They sure did a good remodeling job.
Tim Justus was amazing in The Toy Shoppe!!!
i saw the Texas tenors on America's Got Talent and thought they should have won, however, it did not hurt them as they have become well known. I have seen them in person at Branson twice. Wanted to see their Christmas Show but as it turned out will not get there this year. Look forward to another show in the future. They are simply the best…
I saw The Texas Tenors when they were on America's Got Talent. Little did I realize that they would be appearing in person and I would get to see them.
Saw them for a second time just recently and THEY ARE THE NUMBER 1 SHOW IN BRANSON!!!!
Hope to see their Christmas show and also hope they will do some shows earlier in 2014.
Came to Branson Sept. 9 to see Jimmy Fortune and Daily and Vincent in concert at the Starlite Theater….what a WONDERFUL show!! Are you going to have them back in concert? All I ever see listed is the shows at the diner.
Would love to see Jimmy and Daily & Vincent and Gene Watson at the theater.
Thanks, Corinne
We are from willis texas. Between Vegas & Branson. We enjoy Branson a lots we go to both several time a year our last trip in may was to Branson. Enjoyed 4 shows.family style. Will be back after the first of the year or sooner. We drive over enjoy Senry on way and the town when we arrive. See all soon. Thanks Ray & Dee

Can anyone here help me locate a recipe for Pecan Cobbler?
I just ate some at a local restaurant (Mom & Pop type). They had this delicious Pecan Cobbler! TIA, Annie |

Thanks , Ginger. I'm heading over to check out these recipes. |
Well, what we learn from recipes!! LOL That first recipe turned out to be only pecan praline with biscuits . So I used the filling recipe from the second recipe site and poured over the first recipe. Baked about 40mins. I reviewed the recipe on that first site and told them they had ingredients missing!!! LOL Anyway, I salvaged my pecans to where we have a great dessert to nibble on all week. However, pecan pie/cobbler has never been one that I truly like. They just seem to be way too sweet for me ( didn't know that could happen) LOL Now, I think I have gotten enough from this experience to make what I'm calling a Pecan Cobbler. LOL THanks for your help. |
Annie, would you like to share your final version? I know if I ask I can get a southern friend to supply me with pecans. That could be an easter treat for us. |
Annie...I see you are from Texas too. Was wondering if by some remote chance you may be talking about the Buttermilk Pecan Cobbler at Joe's in Alvin, TX? That is sooo good. I get one for myself every year for my birthday...and have been known to get another one any time I think I need to "reward" myself for something. (Yeah...food rewards...bad...but this pecan cobbler is sooo good!) ;) |
- Posted by Mandy - TX(email@example.com) onThu, Nov 24, 05 at 19:49
We just moved to Alba TX a month ago and it seems that every restaurant here serves Pecan Cobbler! Although it is extremely sweet, I would REALLY love to get the recipe. Can anyone help????? Thanks. |
Mandy, I am in TX too but haven't seen pecan cobbler on a menu here. Last night we went to a restaurant for dinner and ordered pecan pie for dessert-it seemed to have a cakelike crust and was served warm. Interesting but not like the pecan pie I make. |
Keep in mind, that I have just stumbled across this recipe on-line and have not tried making it or tasting it myself. I, like many of you just tasted it for the first time in a mom-n-pop type resturaunt and I absolutely loved it! Good luck and wish me luck in making this recipe. I hope it turns out as good as what I tasted the other day! ~Kim Pecan Cobbler Ingredients ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar, and cook to the soft-ball stage. Remove from the heat, and beat in 1/2 c butter, then 1 c flour, and the cinnamon. Mix in the pecans, and spread in the bottom of a greased baking dish. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the remaining flour into the remaining butter until it is very granular. Add the baking powder and salt, and mix in by tossing. Using a fork, mix in the cream, a little at a time until the mixture is just shy of pourable. DO NOT OVERMIX. Spread across the pecans. [I find that the best method is to drop spoonfulls onto the pecans, filling in the holes as I go.] Immediately place in oven, after 15 min, reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 30 min [approx], until filling bubbles up. |

My husband ate a pecan cobbler and loved it. Lady that made it no longer works where he ate it. Please send me the recipe so that I can make it for him. Maybe it will be like the one he ate. |

pelese send me the recipe . My Friend from Piedmont called me and ask me to look it up on the computer , I found several , but yours seem to be very easy to make , thank you |

Audio for the Arts
Feb 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By Charles Conte
The theaters of the Gallo Center for the Arts provide optimal sound for live performances.
Media Systems Design Group was part of the design process for the Gallo Center theaters almost from the inception of the project, delivering the original spec for both performance spaces in September 2003. Audio system essentials included center-cluster front-of-house systems and analog FOH consoles for both the large and smaller performance venues — although the infrastructure for the addition of digital consoles was specified at the time, says Timothy Hart, project lead.
By June 2006, client-level administrative changes brought about revisions in the basic specifications: The center-cluster design for both venues became left-right vertical arrays, and the analog consoles were replaced with digital consoles that had monitor-mix capabilities.
The project was put out to bid in August 2007, and the audio system design bid was awarded to Professional Communication Design, Santa Rosa, Calif., in April 2007. At that time, Hart says other revisions to the spec were made — specifically, for both venues to include more flexibility in the wiring, such as mic patching from the stage to the control rooms.
The FOH systems for both the Rogers and the Foster theaters are based around Yamaha digital consoles. A PM5D-RH is housed in the Rogers theater and an M7CL in the Foster theater. (Control rooms in both theater venues are supplemented by mix positions on the floor.) A second Yamaha PM5D-RH handles monitor duties for the Rogers theater, but it can be moved to the Foster theater, where the Yamaha M7CL FOH console can be used for monitor mix as well. "The staff and anyone who has mixed on them finds these consoles easy to use," says Scott McKay, the Gallo Center's director of production. "My experienced staff is always finding something new they can do with these consoles."
The loudspeaker systems include eight JBL Vertec 4888 mid-size line arrays per side that are supported by four subs in the Rogers theater. In the Foster theater, six VRX932LA line arrays per side are supported by four VRX-series subs that are not part of the flown system. Renkus-Heinz center clusters — six loudspeakers in the Rogers theater and three in the Foster theater — complete the flown systems. "Stage lip fills [five Tannoys in the Rogers and three in the Foster] were added to the system with the final budget alteration," Hart says. "These were a welcome addition."
Public and professional reception for the center — particularly for the Rogers theater — has been uniformly enthusiastic. Architect Steve Gaffney was given a design excellence award by the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects. At the gala opening last September, Christopher Jaffe called the center a magnificent building, adding that it might be one of the most economical arts centers in the country, as well.
During the gala week of performances, Tony Bennett, Patti LuPone, and Rosanne Cash all praised the acoustics and the sound system of the Rogers theater, with Bennett and LuPone each singing a song without benefit of the sound system to demonstrate the hall's natural acoustics. At the premiere of the Modesto Symphony Orchestra last October, led by longtime Cincinnati Pops Orchestra Conductor Eric Kunzel, the maestro told the audience that during rehearsal he listened to the orchestra from various places throughout the hall. Familiar with many musical venues built in this country during the last 25 years, Kunzel says that after listening to the orchestra in the Gallo Center, he was convinced: "Modesto has the best new hall in America."
A Closer Look at the Mary Stuart Rogers Theater
The Mary Stuart Rogers Theater seats approximately 1,250 people, with as many as 945 patrons at the orchestra and parterre levels and 305 patrons in the balcony.
The hall is a traditional shoebox shape, which keeps with its primary use as a classical-music venue. With a maximum width of 97ft. tapering to approximately 72ft. between the side walls just forward of the proscenium, the theater's dimensions are favorable for directing early sound reflections toward the center portions of the orchestra seating areas. The farthest seat from the proscenium is almost 100ft. away in the balcony, yet there's still a good degree of intimacy and overall loudness of sound.
A demountable orchestral shell serves the dual purpose of enhancing on-stage hearing for musicians and projecting early reflections out into the audience. Forestage reflectors suspended in the audience chamber, just forward of the proscenium, extend over the orchestra pit and into the hall, directing early reflections from within the orchestra shell to the front positions of the seating area. These reflectors enhance on-stage hearing for those who are situated on the pit forward of the proscenium, improve ensemble hearing in the orchestra pit, and provide reinforcement of low-power string instruments.
These forestage reflectors also help frame the 27ft.-tall proscenium. Sliding tormenters adjust the proscenium frame width from between 60ft. to 40ft. The stage is 45ft. deep by 102'6" wide. Beyond that, a scene dock provides storage space for the orchestra shell towers and accommodates rear projection.
The orchestra pit, a portion of which extends under the stage to ensure balance between the orchestral sections, is sized to accommodate approximately 40 musicians. The rear wall is articulated to promote sound diffusion, and it has removable draperies for variable sound absorption.
A tension grid mounted above the audience provides theatrical lighting positions. The grid is arrayed along concentric arcs that mimic the seating rows below and form a virtual ceiling plane or "chandelier" with integrated house lighting fixtures. Followspot positions are located above the balcony. Balcony-edge and sidewall locations fill out the theatrical lighting positions. — C.C.

The magic smoke came out of my 14 year old Craftsman Electric string trimmer, and while I like the plugin convenience of the electric, I ran out of electric cords at our new home.
My lot is a little over 3/4 acre, that is partially wooded, with a stone lined ditch in the front. I looked around and read about the various 4 cycle string trimmers. I was hesitant on buying the Cub Cadet, because most of the reviews I found complained about hard starting. I finally bought 4-cycle Cub Cadet BC509 on the recommendation of a friend Pricewise I considered it a better deal for the money, as it came with a bump head, cutter blade, and shoulder strap, all extras on most other string trimmers. I have had the machine about 2 months now. After assembling and putting in the oil, I tried to start it and it took multiple attempts. I was beginning to wonder if I had made a mistake. Then I remembered what I tell my wife: "Husbands do not make mistakes" and sure enough after getting gas into the crevices of the engine. It started easily. after using it for about 15 minutes I shut it off and and about 15 minutes later it restarted it I have used it a half dozen time since then. I pump the gas with through the system until I am tired and then do it that much again. It has started or attempted to start by the second attempt, and is running on the third. The keys are pumping the gas, and keeping the throttle wide open for about a minute to get the unit hot. I have had no problems with the bump head, nor the operation of the unit. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Are you sure you are not flooding it with all the pumping? 1. Does it start with excessive smoke and low rpm like it is burning off excess fuel. 2. While pumping, with the breather off, throttle open, look into the carb for fuel per pump. 3.This sounds like my old 2 cycles w/o a primer bulb that takes 5 pulls to prime /purge fuel lines. 4. I keep planning to add primer/purge but I can manually prime, fire on the 2nd pull and good to go. 5. The key is seeing some gas movement with every pump or you might have a leak in your fuel sys. Good Luck! You Must Have A Young Pumping/Pulling Arm? LOL. PS. Break 19 ewalk, A radio Check would let us know you are OK! |
As I said It starts every time between the second and third pull on the starter rope. As far as I am concerned it works great. |
I'm off task! I thought it started on the 2nd or 3rd set of pumps vs pulls. Back to pumps, do you see fuel moving and have a good hard bulb after 3-4 pumps now? If not, try a light soap test to see if pressure is being lost. Mainly at the fuel tank's top (if vented) is where I lost pressure. Knowing I lost pressure there priming/purging, I put my finger over the breather hole to seal it and it works better (fuel coming out was a tell tale in the right position). Good Luck Trimming!! |

Challenge yourself with these advanced Pilates exercises
Looking for an abs challenge? Then try this series of Pilates ab exercises that will not only flatten your belly but will improve your posture.
A. Lie on your back with your legs up and bent at 90 degrees, with thighs straight up and calves parallel to the floor. Place your hands behind your head and raise your shoulder blades off the floor. Keep your abs contracted and press your lower back into the floor.
B. Inhale and lower your right leg, moving only from your hip. Dip your toes toward the floor—but don't touch—for a count of 2 ("down, down"). Don't move any other body parts. Exhale and raise your leg for a count of 2 ("up, up"), then inhale as you lower your left leg. Keep your head and shoulders off the floor as you dip and lift. Do 12 reps on each leg.
A. Lie on your back, right leg extended towards the ceiling, toes pointed, and hands by your sides, palms down. Extend your left leg straight along the floor. Feel the stretch in the back of your right thigh and calf. (If this position is uncomfortable, you can bend your left leg and place your left foot flat on the floor.) Hold for 10 to 60 seconds.
B. Make a large circle on the ceiling with your right leg, rotating from your hip. Inhale as you begin the circle and exhale as you finish. Keep your body as still as possible--no rocking--by tightening your abs. Do six circles, then reverse direction for six more. Repeat on the other leg.
A. Lie on your back with your hands behind your head, elbows out to the sides. Curl up to raise your head, neck, and shoulder blades off the floor. As you inhale, rotate your torso to bring your right knee towards your chest and extend your left leg towards the floor without touching the floor.
B. As you exhale, alternate directions without lowering your head and shoulders. Bring your left knee toward your chest as you rotate your right shoulder towards your left knee and extend your right leg. Do six times on each leg.

Well, my group just recently picked up the Only War beta, and we've discovered several small issues, none of which is really big enough to warrant its own thread. I thought, then, that I'd lump them all into the one thread here. Without further ado, then, here are our small problems:
1: How many clips does a weapon that has been gained through Special Equippment or by a successful Logistics Test normally come with?
2: Do the soldiers of a regiment that uses Lasguns or Lascarbines as their standard weapon still get the Laspistol listed under "Universal Standard Kit" on page 33?
3: Should Ogryns and Commissars perahps treat their Ripper Guns and Bolt Pistols (respectively) as their "Main Weapon" instead of the standard Lasgun/carbine/pistol (which is an inappropriate weapon for either one of these characters to be carrying, thus it stands to reason they'd never be issued one in the first place), thus getting four clips and the +2 clips if the regiment is "Well-Provisioned" (as the homebrew one we are playing is)?
4: A lot of the equippment from the Universal Standard Kit doesn't have listed weights. It's easy enough to important most of the weights from the "Gear" sub-section of the "War Zone" section of the Inquisitior's Handbook, but how much do two weeks (or four weeks, in the case of our regiment) of rations weigh? Surely it can't be a kilogram for a day's worth as the Inquisitor's Handbook suggests…
5: Our homebrewed regiment (which is Imperial World-Circumspect-Iron Disipline-Well Provisioned-Mechanised Infantry) spent 20 of its additional equippment points on micro-beads, gas masks, chronos and recaf (yes, recaf), and the last 10 to upgrade the entire regiment's Flak Armour to Best Quality. Are we being too cheesy?
6: It'll be a while before this issue will really come up for my character, but is generally permissable for a Commissar to dual-wield Bolt Pistols? I'm a bit less knowledgeable about the intricacies of 40K than I probably should be…

"The best chili I've ever made!!! Even the mostly veggie wife loved it.

Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies. -Robert Kennedy
Windows 8 has its supporters and its haters. I agree with both.
I think the Start Screen is a Good Thing™. I'll try to explain the thought process which led me here. First of all, I wanted a point of comparison. The Start Menu seemed like the obvious choice. The Start Menu was introduced in Windows 95, and was no small contributor to the phenomenal success... of Windows XP. Just like everything else, it wasn't perfect on arrival. Microsoft refined and improved the feature over time, leading to the hullabaloo we have today about it being removed.
As with so many other changes, people are being blind and narrow-minded. They confuse the first iteration of a feature for the full potential of that feature, before posting a slew of arguments based entirely on that faulty premise. They then get frustrated when people ignore their ill-conceived rants.
Some have derided the Operating System as being designed for a touch screen. I agree; though I don't consider it to be a problem. Touch screens are another advancement in technology and Microsoft are quite right to update their product to accommodate those who use it. Failure to do so would be nothing short of a disaster, as it would damage Microsoft's ability to stay relevant and either limit Windows to offices or eventually kill it altogether. How people don't see this is beyond me.
I want to be quite clear on this. Touch screens have arrived and are here to stay. Just as important to grasp is that the mouse and keyboard are staples which are going nowhere. People use computers for different tasks, and as technology advances this will become more and more evident.
Touch screens are far more convenient when you just want to check social networks and the like. However the classic mouse & keyboard set-up is far superior for office work, where having your arm fully extended all day long would be pretty brutal. I also prefer it to touch when gaming.
I think it would have made sense for Microsoft to introduce the Start Screen before removing the Start Menu. Users would have been less hostile toward it were it were simply another feature, rather than it being the reason they lost a tool they have relied upon since time immorial. However Microsoft are caught in a bind, as returning it now would make it much harder to remove in the future.
There's a lot that Microsoft got right with Windows 8. The new Task Manager is very nice. The Start Screen is fine, controversial though it may be. The changes under the hood which improve speed and security are both more than welcome. I love snapping Skype to the side of the screen.
The new Metro UI was necessary change; but the removal of the Start button was not. I'm not a fan of the magic corners. A Start button bringing you to the Start Screen strikes me as simply being superior design. Plus, having Windows 8 deprive users of more familiarity than necessary is not wise.
Just my $0.02, let me know what you think in the comments. :)

University cuts are real cuts with real consequences, says Union
An analysis of the cuts to university funding released by the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) today challenges the Prime Minister's characterisation of these cuts as being nothing more than a temporary pause to the record growth in public investment.
"University staff and students have contributed more than their share to the Government's budgetary savings over the last three years. The most recent $2.3billion cut to funding for universities and their students comes on top of another $2billion in higher education-related budget savings announced since 2011," Jeannie Rea, NTEU National President said today.
"The NTEU supports increased public investment in our schools, but questions the logic of cutting university funding to help pay for this. The school reforms will put more teachers and support staff in schools. Universities unfortunately respond to Government funding cuts with more staff job cuts and increased casualisation.
"The Government's own Bradley and Base Funding reviews showed that universities are already underfunded," explained Rea. "Our analysis shows that the gap between what universities receive and what they need to educate government-supported students, according to these reviews, is well in excess of $1billion.
"While the Prime Minister might describe the most recent announcement as 'not a real cut but a moderation of the growth rate' of university funding, our analysis clearly shows (Figure 3) that when adjusted for inflation and increasing student load, the real value of funding received by universities will in fact decline over the next four years.
"The reality is that these are real cuts and therefore they will have real consequences for the jobs of university staff and quality of the university experience of students."
Rea said that in addition to the direct impact on universities, the NTEU was also very concerned about what impact the abolition of student start-up scholarships will have on the most disadvantaged students and the level of outstanding student debt.
"The NTEU estimates that student debt is already growing at a rate of $12 million a day and it is now set to balloon out. It makes a mockery of Labor's declared commitment to social equity," Rea said.
"In May 2010 the Prime Minister went on record saying, 'We know that Australia's universities have a critical part to play in making this country smarter, fairer and more prosperous. In order to meet our economic and social ambitions we need to make sure that our universities are properly resourced and able to tackle the problems, and teach the workforce, of the future.'
"The NTEU calls on the Prime Minister to honour that commitment and to restore university and student funding immediately," Rea said.
Attached please find the NTEU's analysis of the cuts.

Media enquiries: Carmel Shute, NTEU Media Officer: 0412 569 356; firstname.lastname@example.com
The National Tertiary Education Union covers all employees of universities, including general staff such as librarians, gardeners, technical specialists and administrative staff, and academics. It is incorrect to characterise NTEU's members as "academics" or the NTEU as "the academics union".

"Hello, Bad Girls!" she yells to the group of women waiting at a round table in front of the big-screen TV.
Secret, Mirage and Bootilicious wave back. The hulking bouncer in the black T-shirt sees Bushere, leaps out of his chair and scurries to the bar. He returns a moment later and obediently hands Bushere her regular Seven and Seven.
"My girls need drinks!" Bushere directs.
Bushere is the Pat Bowlen of the Bad Girls Gone Slippery bar-wrestling team. A forty-something mother of three, she's been around the block a time or two. "Anybody who works in this business has a story," she says. "If they didn't, they'd be college professors or doctors. I have a story."
You can't hear it.
But you can trace the outline. She's worked as a bar manager for 22 years. She doesn't need any man. There has been pain in her life. Her big dream is wrapped in a modest package: Someday, she'd like to have her own bar.
Her mind races constantly. While working at a local bar a couple of years ago, she began contemplating the potential of an all-female troupe that grappled in oil -- adult entertainment slicked with grrrl power. After pondering for more than a year, she went out and bought an inflatable pool and some Johnson's Baby Oil. The team slid into its first gig last September.
It turns out that a slick package combining oil, bikinis, pretty young women and alcohol has a certain appeal. "People love to see women fight," Bushere shrugs. "They just love it."
Still, Bushere has had to explain the limits of her venture more than once to enthusiastic observers. "We're not strippers," she says indignantly. "We're not prostitutes. We're ladies. I run a very clean, classy show.
"Of course, some nudity is inevitable once in a while. We're wrestling in oil, after all."
All her girls call Bushere "Mama."
"I care about them," she explains. "We're a big family."
"We love spending time together," says Bootilicious. Everyone gets along.
Bushere insists on it.
"I won't have no drama," she says. "None. We'll sit for ten hours to work out a problem."
"If you can't get along inside the ring, you can't get along outside of it," Secret adds. The girls share strategies particular to their sport. For example, how a lady gets all that lubricant out of her hair.
"Wash and wash and wash," says Secret, whose lip and nose piercings and large silver crucifix necklace flash in the neon bar-room light. "It takes me two days. But," she adds, slicing her dark, straight hair off her face with two straight fingers, "I don't mind."
"Dish soap works," Shy Girl advises. "It's very drying."
Thrashing around in oil isn't just about problems, though. Everyone's skin positively glows.
Bootilicious -- small, muscular, baby-faced -- is probably the best grappler of the bunch. "I loved football in gym class," she remembers.
"She's been wrasslin' since she was little," her mother, Kathleen, a legal secretary, adds proudly. "She and her brother always used to wrassle."
None of the Bad Girls is a couch potato. As a teenager, Secret ran short sprints for a junior Olympic track team. "And I used to always arm-wrestle the boys -- and win," she says. Bushere was a gymnast in high school. Shy Girl was a cheerleader and all-around jock at Lincoln High School.
Mirage honed her wrestling chops Foxy Boxing at PT's. A martial-arts neophyte, she nevertheless found the concept easy to learn. "We wore scanty clothing and beat the hell out of each other," she explains.
Here's the deal: Bushere gets to keep the door and some money from drink sales. The wrestlers make tips and whatever they can raise by auctioning off a chance to oil up or grapple a real, live, nearly naked girl in front of a screaming bar crowd.
"The girls are shy," Bushere, who has no such problem, says. "They need to learn to work the crowd. I tell them, ŒWhy are people gonna spend money to oil you up if they've never spoken to you before?'"
When you think of oil wrestling in Colorado, you must think Bad Girls Gone Slippery. But the bar game is a competitive one, and Bushere works hard to stay a step ahead of imitators.
In recent months, she's had her team perform with a variety of kitchen products. Tossed salad with Italian dressing was novel -- although ultimately, like most salads themselves, disappointing. "It wilts," explains Bootilicious.
One night at the Buffalo Rose, the girls found themselves flailing in whipped cream. But it was too audience-unfriendly; after a while, you couldn't even tell who was who. The purple Jell-O was discarded after a single show, pronounced too messy.
Apart from oil, the most promising wrestling medium has been pasta. An Italian, Bushere spent an entire day boiling mostaccioli. She intended to lubricate the noodles with butter, but the bar owner nixed the plan, so she tossed them with a bit of oil and threw in some penis- and breast-shaped meatballs.

Five Songs We'd Love to See On Glee (and Storylines to Go With Them)
With the Foo Fighters songbook currently unavailable to Murphy, we suggest five hit songs for the show and include story lines to accompany each.
5. "Rain On the Scarecrow" by John Mellencamp
Singing stepbrothers Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) and Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) see their blended familial bliss upended when Kurt's dad loses his job and falls behind on the mortgage payments. After repo agents swarm their Lima, Ohio, McMansion, the family is reduced to sleeping in a station wagon near the railroad tracks. Increasingly anguished and unkempt at school, Finn breaks down one morning and delivers a searing rendition of "Rain On the Scarecrow," the Reagan-era protest song about the plight of displaced Midwestern families.
Glee club director Will Schuester tries to organize a fund-raiser musical for Finn and Kurt's family, but concerned school officials notify child services instead. The episode ends with Finn and Kurt dragged away by social workers into the foster care system, never to be heard from again.
The video for Mellencamp's tune, a staple of 1980s MTV, is above.

I went to my doctor last week and stated he thinks my body is makng cholestral. Are there any herbs I can take to remedy this problem? I really need help. Thanks in advance for your advice. I don't want to be placed on medication for long periods of time. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Everyone's bodies make cholesterol. You can try visiting the herbalism forum to see if anyone there knows about herbs for high cholesterol. |
We need a little more information. Did he say your cholesterol is high and your body is making too much? Did he recommend medication? Gina is correct, our bodies make cholesterol, but for some it makes too much. Here's a link to a page that discusses lowering high cholesterol through diet. Jen |
Here is a link that might be useful: Lowering cholesterol
Okay, I had my cholestral checked last year and it was 252. I just had it rechecked a week ago but my test result have not come back yet. I'm sure it's up.
