It was a balmy day — great for shopping. I had an itch to update my wardrobe that needed to be scratched. Coupons in hand, I persuaded Hubby Dear to drive to Belk. As usual, with book in hand, he opted to wait patiently in the car while I made my way through the markdowns.
A friend told me he once had a T-shirt emblazoned with the command: "Don't just do something. Stand there!" I'll bet some folks thought he got it at a discount, because the message was skewed. At the very least, it must have caused a second look ... even a second thought.
Holding hands is such a simple delight. We grasp the pleasure from the time we were tiny tots, holding our parents' hands as we tottered beside them, matching each step as best we could. To let go was frightening, until we discovered that release simply meant we could extend our hands to others.
Hubby Dear has often expounded on the unfortunate propensity of some speakers to place emphasis on prepositions instead of their accompanying nouns, pronouns and phrases. I listened, learned, and tried hard never to land largely on those long-suffering linking words. I softly spoke each with, to, through, of, in, at, around, near — and all their gentle relatives — saving my voice and fervor for their companions!
Halloween has always been an intriguing day for me. The intrigue is not limited to it being the anniversary of my grandson's birth! Typically, I don't festoon our house with gauzy webs or hanging skeletons. There are no carved pumpkins bearing flickering candles to light a ghostly path. It's not that I am against the customs. I am simply not a house decorator. It allows me to find great joy in gazing at my neighbor's decorations.
It began as an ordinary day. There were errands to run, chores to complete, exercise to accomplish. Writing awaited and there was a funeral to attend. Oh ... and there was the newly minted pink streak painted in my hair. I wanted to show my friends what my hairdresser had cajoled me into doing, with the promise I'd be "gorgeous." My mind raced to arrange a priority list. When all had been checked off, I'd know a sense of fulfillment. Life would be worthwhile.
Interestingly, I belong to Poetry Revisited, a group of poets who have recently acquired a taste for haiku as part of their repertoire. When confronted with the challenge to write in this style, I balked. Too few words, I mused, were used to present complicated ideas. Not surprisingly, challenges whet my appetite. Computer keys at the ready, I began sharpening my skill, trying hard to believe that less is more. Serendipitously, "The Art of Pausing" arrived for my perusal and review. It gave new meaning to my efforts.
Papers in hand, questions in mind, Hubby Dear and I drove to our local insurance agency to verify the contents of our policy, hoping to reduce the cost while maintaining adequate coverage. In his usual manner, H.D. engaged the agent — who, fortunately, is also a friend — in conversation. One area melded into another and yet another until he happened upon involvement with the Rotary Club, an area with which he was not experienced.

Gartner: Lotus Symphony No Competition for Microsoft Office
IBM's Lotus Symphony will be unable to break the dominance of Microsoft's Office package according to market researchers Gartner. Open Office still has too many deficits for enterprise use, they say, and the future belongs to Web-based office and collaboration solutions.
In its analysis, Gartner assumes that IBM is aiming to shake up Microsoft's market dominance in office applications with Lotus Symphony. Microsoft Office is widespread and corporations need full compatibility, which Open Office does not guarantee, according to the market researchers. In the long term the institute believes that Web 2.0 applications will prove the more serious competitor to Microsoft, stating that it would take too long for the Open Office project to benefit significantly from IBM's contribution.
Due to its 10-year support guarantee for office products, Microsoft has bred a moment of inertia into its products that prevents the use of Open Document solutions in corporations. Various functions that are only available in MS Office and the lack of compatibility between document formats are the other factors that make MS Office so reticent. Lotus Symphony relies on the Open Office word processing, spreadsheet and presentations software modules, as Linux Magazine reported. IBM thus supports the free ODF with its free Lotus Symphony Office Suite.
Interest in the Open Document Standard is likely to increase, and Gartner's IT strategists cite the OOXML flop as the major reason for this. Barrier-free use as advertised by IBM may cause authorities to move to Open Office in future, as this deficit was a major obstacle in the past. And IBM's press release points to the excellent response the Symphony Suite has received in the first few weeks.
In the meantime, IBM's competitor has not been idle, and collaborative editing capabilities make Web applications a third alternative. This is the bigger threat to Microsoft, says the Gartner analysis, as Lotus Symphony does not offer enough in the line of benefits compared with Open Office.

Deborah Lippmann • Razzle Dazzle • Polishes

Huge disappointment. I wanted this polish for a long time before I finally bought it, and then I hated everything about it. This is a raspberry-colored microglitter that dries to a somewhat matte finish. It reminded me a lot of Butter London's Fiddlesticks. On the nail this shade just looked dull and unoriginal.
And the quality was not up to par for a Lippmann polish. Not at all. It started to chip after only a day and the color came off the glitter, turning it silver. This just seemed like a cheap, tacky glitter polish from the 80s.
Wouldn't buy it again.

Love this nail polish! I got it in my Glossbox and so pleased I did. The colour is almost plum on the nails with pinkish glitter in it. It applied well and only needed two coats to get it opaque and took 3 days to even show the odd chip which I think is great for a dark colour. I also got loads of compliments on it too, which is surely the sign of a great nail polish!
I would say though that this needs a top coat over it to make it look its best.

This was my Christmas pedi, and dudes, it was fabulous. Even though I'm a stuffy stilted person who wore black sheer hose under my dresses to the extended fam events we were invited to, the glitter in Razzle Dazzle twinkled through my tights and even caught my step-sister-in-law's eye.
It's got more depth than a cream or a shimmer, and it's got an extra ooomph on a plain dark shade. I love that it twinkles fuchsia - makes it look a little more glam than other similar red-based glitters out there.
I love it and I'd take down whomever tried to steal it on me. I seriously doubt I'd finish the bottle I've got (I have a bit of a polish problem...) but if I did, I'd definitely, DEFINITELY be hunting for a replacement.

Another HG nail polish from Deborah Lippmann. So many red polishes are bright and tawdry, and unflattering to fair skin. This is such a deep cherry red, with the tiniest hint of glitter to keep it young and modern. Looks great as a pedi too. I find with the Lippmann glitter polishes that you HAVE to pair them with a high-shine top coat or they look a little worn out.

This may be my new favorite shade: medium raspberry microglitter in a deeper raspberry jelly base. It looks incredible as either a manicure or pedicure shade and has a surprising amount of depth. It went on beautifully and was opaque in two coats, lasted a long time on my nails with only minimal tip wear, and I didn't notice the same kind of wear the first reviewer mentioned at all; this stuff REALLY stayed on my nails! I love it, and would definitely repurchase.
EDIT: Stained my nails terribly. Took one lippie off for that.

Another great Lippmann polish! Razzle Dazzle is a deep raspberry jelly polish with silver shimmer suspended in it. As you apply the polish, the glitter looks to be raspberry colored as well, but after a day's wear (especially if you tend to be somewhat hard on your hands like I am) the polish covering the glitter wears off, leaving the occasional silver glitter showing through. The effect of this polish is really quite pretty and unique. This is not something I would wear, say, to the office or for everyday, but it really appeals to my inner girly-girl, and I will likely be finding any excuse I can to put this stuff on! As always with the Lippmann polishes, it applied beautifully with great coverage and wear. You could get away with one coat of this, but for maximum effect, I suggest two coats (or even three- its sparklier that way ;)

The Man in Black (but not Johnny Cash): Interviews with an Orthodox priest on a variety of topics.
True Convergence: Stories about former members of the Charismatic Episcopal Church who have converted to Orthodoxy (mostly Western Rite Antiochians)
Generation Orthodox: Aimed mainly at twenty-something non-Orthodox Christians (or non-Christians), this podcast features several young converts to Orthodoxy shooting the breeze about pop culture, Orthodoxy, and other topics.
The New Dialogues: Interviews with a a variety of guests on a variety of topics (kind of like The Illumined Heart on Ancient Faith Radio)
Specials: Features special events, such as a five-part series on prayer given by Fr. Jonah Paffhausen, abbot of the monastery of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco.
But my favorite Icon New Media podcast of all is a joint project between Icon and the Orthodox Christian Network called Journeys to Orthodoxy. Each week, Jacob interviews a convert to Orthodoxy who has an interesting conversion story.
The most recent podcast, which was released just yesterday, features someone that you know. I won't say who it is, but I'll give you a hint: It's a bivocational Orthodox priest who used to be a missionary to Bosnia and who has a beautiful wife and four daughters. If you have time, you might want to check it out by clicking here. I hope you will enjoy it.
May the Lord bless you all.

Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Kate Johnson received her MFA from The University of Tulsa in 2011.
Kate Johnson, TU Alum, was selected to receive the 2013 Oklahoma Visual Arts Fellowship Award. Each Year the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition (OVAC) grants these awards to Oklahoma artists who show outstanding vision and contribute to the larger conversation of art making. This year's juror, Lorelei Stewart, Director of the Gallery 400 at University of Illinois in Chicago, says these artists "stand out for the originality of their vision, their facility with materials, and what their artistic investigations tell us about our place in the world today."The body of work, Dreamscapes, explores the path of the brain as it is influenced by daily images and activities. Johnson materializes this concept through crocheted fiber threads in repetitive organic yet asymmetrical forms, much like the thoughts of the brain are influenced by the previous chain of thought. This link of cognitive activity then circumnavigates previous thoughts causing it to circle around itself. On her process she says, "The making of the stitches become a symbol for the transference of emotional memory from thought to hand to fiber." In her fiber forms some places protrude while others recede representing thoughts that act in similar ways: some falling below the surface accentuating those that rise to the external layer. Her fiber sculptures allude to biological organs that are soft and organic but also in places have evidence of portions being violently torn away. Stewart says of Johnson's work, "The amorphous shapes skillfully balance solidity, ornamentation, and previousness, emphasizing the enduring primacy of the tactile, everyday, and contingent in today's complex culture."

Good turnout for "Hit the Trail" community bike ride despite
nasty weather.
hopping on their bikes for a jaunt through the City's bike trail system. The call
to action was a part of "Hit the Trail," a community bike ride and rally in Bridgeport
Park aimed at ramping up excitement
for the upcoming Amgen Tour of California.
A light rain was already falling when residents on bicycles
took off from three different trailheads across the SCV; Valencia
High School, Soledad
at Camp Plenty,
and Placerita Jr. High.
After a ride through the back-set trails, the bike riders
emerged at Bridgeport Park
where they were greeted by a free Lion's Club barbecue, vender booths and
bicycle oriented contests.
Professional bicycle rider and Amgen racer Tony Cruz was
also on hand, greeting the riders and talking about his experiences. Having
raced Amgen three times so far, Cruz has seen it take flight.
"From the inception of the race, it's been America's
premier race," he said. "It really rivals any race in Europe."
Despite the fact that the event has grown to draw millions
of fans from all over the globe, some people are only now learning about the
racing strategy. For example, even with big name riders like Lance Armstrong
and 2-timeTour of California
winner Levi Leipheimer, the race still centers on a team effort.
"The easiest way for me to describe it is that it's a lot
like NASCAR," Cruz said. "In NASCAR there are drivers who are trying to
conserve fuel by drafting. It's really the same thing when you're out there on
a bike. When you're in the peloton, you're in the draft, so you're conserving
your energy, you're saving the output probably by 30% on the legs. And then when you're ready to win, you just
pull ahead and go for it."
The Tour of California doesn't just bring competition
however, it also brings a spirit of healthy living and active lifestyles.
"It just motivates people to get out and ride. Maybe they
park 10 or 15 miles away and ride into an event," said Cruz.
The Amgen Tour of California
will bring the top professional cyclists through Santa Clarita on February 21st.
This year, our city hosts the stage 7 start.

The shop is small, with just a few cases of fresh pastas, sauces, and frozen pasta entrees, and the staff is ready to help customers choose the perfect ingredients for that night's dinner. The pasta case is filled with specialties like black pepper fettuccine, ricotta cavatelli, carrot conchiglie, and ravioli stuffed with combinations such as roasted Brussels sprouts and aged Gruyere or butternut squash with amaretti and sage. Most popular are the whole-wheat, spinach, and black-pepper pastas. And many of these creations are served in some of Austin's best restaurants, from Eastside Cafe to Justine's. A good portion of the shop's sales are from the freezer case, which is stacked with trays of ready-to-bake entrees like lasagna Bolognese, cheese cannelloni, mushroom and eggplant manicotti, and chicken and artichoke baked penne. These dishes have become the go-to option for customers looking for housewarming and post-pregnancy gifts, since they're easy to heat and always crowd-pleasers.

Congressional scholar Thomas Mann agrees. "The fiscal fallout of earmarks is trivial," he said. The problem is that they can lead to "conflicts of interest, the irrational and unconstructive allocation of resources, or their use by Congressional leaders as carrots and sticks to buy votes for larger measures that clearly lack majority support on the merits."
Taxpayers for Common Sense, whoever they are (I'm not convinced this is a credible group, but it's a straightforward issue), issued a report that shows only 18 members of congress don't use earmarks.
Some surprising names turned up on the list.
- Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio.
- Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
- Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wisconsin
- Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-West Virginia
- Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri
- Rep. Henry Waxman, D-California
- Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
- Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.
- Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
- Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas
- Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz.
- Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va.
It's quite a baffling list. "Pa Bell" Rockefeller and "Tobacco Checks" Boehner are two of the dirtiest players in the game, so, I guess if you get enough loot from campaign finance then you can drop the whole earmarking business. Hey, the jig is up anyway, so why not drop the earmarks?

About Neviot
Founded in 1989, Neviot is a leading manufacturer and distributor of natural mineral water in Israel.
The company's innovative range of products includes both bottled water products and water cooler dispensers for private and office use in a wide range of sizes and styles. Since its establishment, Neviot has retained its pioneering character, developing innovative products and constantly working to improve its excellent products and services.
In 1995, Neviot was the first company in Israel to produce sports bottles with a convenient cap suitable for use during athletic activity.
In 2002, Neviot underwent a branding revolution that included a new logo, symbolizing the flowing world of water. The bottles were also redesigned in a convenient, ergonomic way to make pouring and carrying easier.
In 2006, Neviot+ was launched - a product line based on Neviot mineral water with added vitamins and light flavors. Peach and apple were the first flavors to be launched, meeting with immediate success. They were followed by lemon-lime, grapefruit, grape, and later Neviot+ Energy, in a delicate pear flavor with added caffeine. The Neviot+ series is the new generation of added value mineral water, including refreshing flavors with health benefits: wellness and pleasure combined.
In May 2011, Neviot began to produce natural mineral water from a mountain aquifer in the Upper Galilee. The advanced drilling technology utilized in this process is similar to that of the leading European mineral water companies. Using this innovative system, Neviot is reaching water while it is still pure in the depths of the earth. The mountain aquifer was approved by the Israeli Ministry of Health as a source of natural mineral water.
Neviot pledges to provide its customers with natural mineral water of the very highest quality.
Neviot mineral water consists of a unique mineral composition, with a significant amount of calcium, low sodium, and natural fluoride. The Neviot quality assurance process subscribes to the strictest quality standards, and is audited by authorized external organizations. Neviot is delighted to continue supplying the healthiest, best quality natural mineral water to its customers.
Neviot Nature of Galilee Ltd. is publicly-traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, and is owned by the Central Bottling Company (CBC). In 2000, CBC purchased 43% of Neviot's shares, and in 2004 completed the purchase by buying out all other privately-owned stocks (a total of 86%).
The Bottling Factory
Neviot's bottling factory is considered to be one of the most advanced in the world, located on the outskirts of Kiryat Shmona, close to the water source at the aquifer in the Upper Galilee, at the foot of the Naftali Mountain. The mineral water is transferred into the factory directly from the drilling point, using an underground pipe.
Neviot operates six fully-automated filling lines for bottles and coolers that uphold the strictest international standards.

The Presence of Presents!
Mother's Day, Father's Day, End of school, and graduations… This is present season baby! Now, I know it's tempting to just hit the dollar store and buy a gift bag and tissue paper, but an awesome wrap job goes a long way. Perhaps it could be said that I have two fetishes in life… sneakers (I seriously can't get enough!) and wrapping paper. I might be one of the only people that have asked for wrapping paper as a birthday present. I was so excited to open rolls and rolls of it a few years ago!
So, let's ditch the dollar store and check out some fabulous ideas for prettifying your gifts. It only takes a few more minutes and it will really let the recipient know how much you care!
#1- Yarn Embellished Presents
I love the rainbow effect and the tiny little knots. Kids could totally help with this technique!
#2 Map Wrap
How fun and modern is this? I think the small scale ribbon is a must and adds just the right finished touch.
How cool would it be to wrap a high school graduate's present in a state map from the college s/he is headed off to?
#3 Monogram Tags & Newspaper
These tags are adorable and would be so simple to make with your printer. The baker's twine is really popular right now and much cheaper than ribbon. The newspaper is really easy to work with and makes the red accents really pop!
#4 Picture Presents
It's no surprise this adorable idea is from the queen of craft… Martha Stewart. Tell me grandparents wouldn't LOVE a present wrapped like this…
#5 Fabric Wrapped
I have tons of scrap fabric that could be used to wrap! This idea would be especially helpful for those oddly shaped presents that are impossible to wrap. You can knot the top or tie it up with some ribbon.
#6 Tissue Paper
I first was inspired to wrap with tissue paper when I was at a Christmas wrapping party and watched my friend Patty turn a present into a masterpiece! Granted, she only wrapped one present in about an hour, but it was one rockin' present! I think that layering is the key when working with tissue paper.
Since I have A LOT of wrapping paper, of course I needed a wrapping area. This is my favorite wrapping station in all of blogland…
I've loved it for years and only wish mine would look anything remotely like this (I'm not neat nor organized enough… it would always be a mess!)
Here are a few other ways to store your paper (just in case you develop a fetish like me!)
So, with Father's Day this weekend (I hope you didn't forget!) maybe you can try out a new wrapping technique…
I promise you'll love it!
PS- If you win one of Bethany's Blossom Bands, maybe you can wrap it all fancy-schmancy before giving it to your little one! Make sure you've entered the giveaway… check out Tuesday's post for all the details!

Superior singing method review
Excess Mucus production
What do we all do, as Voice Professionals, when we have to sing a concert, give a presentation or speech, when we awaken the day of our event and possess too much mucus on the vocal cords and in our throat? This is among the numerous challenges of the Voice Professional. Excess mucus is almost always due to one thing. Diet.
Yes it's true, Diet. Some individuals may say that it's allergy season, or their house is moldy or they've got always been susceptible to sinus problems. These 4 elements will also be possibilities in the mucus realm, but more often than not, over-production of mucus is due to diet. By eating foods which can be acidic naturally including, dairy products, beef, white refined sugar and white flour, we become acidic. Our pH balance is out of whack and our body starts to react. The lymph glands get swollen and also the mucus that is meant to flow though them easily becomes logged and stuck and is also not able to escape and stay released from my body. So it needs to go somewhere. More often than not the throat and vocal cords take the hit.
Our vocal cords are lined using a small layer of mucus that keeps the cords nice hydrated so they may vibrate correctly. When the mucus is on overload then the cords are covered with to much mucus and struggling to vibrate how they should. Thus we presume like we have a lump inside our throat or perhaps a drip and we continually must clear our throat or swallow appears like a ball of wax or something enjoy it. This is brutal for the Voice Professional, on both the psychological and physical levels. (Instead of going to the list of foods and dietary habits that need to be addressed to get rid of this problem form your vocal life, this website is dependant on the emergency available. Specific foods and diet modification come in future blogs, so make sure to check in often.)
Just what exactly do we do once the mucus production is on overload about the wedding day. Among the best actions you can take it to irrigate your nasal passages. Completely drain them. If your mucus is green or yellow then you are either on the way or currently have disease. However that does not matter a great deal when it comes to your immediate emergency. Here's one suggestion We have provided to a lot of my colleagues and clients. If you have a netti pot then you are in luck. Require a mixture of Goldenseal liquid extract (15 drops), a little pinch of cayenne, and a couple drops of P73 Oregano oil. Mix them in about one fourth to half cup of water. Make use of this mixture in your netti pot if you have one. Otherwise then make use of a cup that is bendable just like a plastic cup. Navigate to the sink and tilt your face to the side as you pour a combination through one nostril. Be aware!!! A combination isn't for that weak in your mind. It is going to have a real punch plus some sting with it. But we're in an emergency situation here. Should you actually want to attack the mucus and begin the recovery process immediately, than the is exactly what will do it.
The Goldenseal has antibiotic properties within it and will start to heal chlamydia if you need to. The cayenne will attack and split up the mucus and also the Oregano Oil will completely clear the mucus from the nasal passages. Try this draining no less than 3 x per nostril. You shouldn't need more . You will feel quickly, the need to blow your nose since the mucus begins draining straight away. You may could also have the drain down the back of one's throat. It becomes an amazing remedy. Within a few minutes my head is apparent like a bell and my sinus passages are simply cleared up.
Another solution, though less immediate and powerful but nevertheless extremely effective, is always to drink plain old apple cider vinegar blended with filtered water. Apple cider vinegar treatment is great for that digestive tract and an overall body cleanser and tonic. It will separation the mucus and help the body to restore itself returning to a suitable and healthy pH balance. Drink this throughout the day and during your concert, presentation or speech. You may give a little lemon (half a lemon should do) and honey (put in more taste) towards the mixture too. The lemon can help break up the mucus but do not use to almost as much ast it could dry the cords if over used. The honey will soothe and coat the throat helping fight any possible infections along with offer you a nice energy boost.

Welcome to the Corleone family. After a life of small-time jobs and petty thefts you've been accepted into America's most famous criminal organization. Now it's up to you to carry out orders, earn respect, rise through the ranks, and make New York City your own. Play your cards right and you could even be running everything as the next, and most powerful, Don.
A story about family, respect and loyalty, The Godfather book by Mario Puzo and film by Paramount Pictures serve as inspiration for the game as you join the Corleone family and earn respect through loyalty and fear as you rise through the ranks to become Don in a living, 1945-1955 New York. The Godfather™ video game will put you at the center of action in one of history's most revered cinematic masterpieces, allowing you to create yourself in the game, and then choose your path as you rise from lowly outsider to envied and feared Don.
Featuring non-linear action-adventure gameplay, The Godfather will offer gamers countless choices for solving the family's problems with brutal violence, skillful diplomacy, or a cunning mixture of both. From mob hits and bank heists to drive-bys and extortion, step deep inside the world of The Godfather where intimidation and negotiation are your tickets to the top. Players will use their powers of loyalty and fear to earn respect through interactions with characters in the world. Decisions made by the player in the game will have lasting consequences, just as it was in the mob underworld featured in The Godfather fiction.
The Godfather film from Paramount Pictures featured some of Hollywood's finest actors and several are contributing to the game's development. All character likenesses from the movie will be included and lending their voices to add a dramatic and cinematic touch to the game are the late Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone, James Caan as Sonny Corleone and Robert Duvall as consigliore Tom Hagen

The project involves a consortium of 8 teacher education programs collaborating to create and diffuse technology integration knowledge. As the lead institution of this project, The University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) will enhance and continue to support the ongoing development of a
knowledge repository, with improvements in depth of analysis, breadth of content, and functionality to strengthen its effectiveness. The knowledge repository applies case-based reasoning, a contemporary theory of human memory and intellect, to describe and index stories and cases as they are added to the repository. Technology integration practices and results are documented and structured as cases that are categorized and indexed for easy and quick retrievals. In this way, technology integration problems faced by teachers and teacher educators can be solved by finding similar previous experiences captured in the knowledge repository and applying the lessons to the new experience.
MU will provide global access to the repository through the Web, provide training to partner institutions, introduce partners to effective technology integration tools, provide follow-up support throughout the project period,and engage in ongoing project evaluation. Each partner institution will 1) hire knowledge scouts who are responsible for collecting, reporting, and
updating technology integration cases in the knowledge repository; and serve as the local change agent and project coordinator and 2) identify local technology integration practitioners (teachers and teacher educators) as knowledge sources and work with them to capture their technology integration knowledge and experiences.
The technology integration cases will then serve as the basis for further knowledge innovation that can be disseminated to the whole technology integration community. Insights and innovative ideas in technology integration can arise from community members' exchanges on case studies. Effective tools and methods in technology integration can emerge from members' technology experiences. While comparing various best practice cases, members will gain multiple perspectives on technology integration practices. In this way, members will be able to discover strengths and weaknesses of their practices and improve accordingly. Best practices and frequently-asked question (FAQ) libraries can be synthesized from technology integration cases and members' exchanges of experiences. Each new case added to the knowledge repository can spawn a knowledge innovation process.

America's Most Beautiful Roadster crowned at 2013 Grand National Roadster Show
Each year, the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, CA is used to award one entrant with the prestigious title of America's Most Beautiful Roadster. At this year's 64th annual show, which took place last weekend, a beautiful burgundy 1927 Track T Roadster owned by John Mumford took home the nine-foot tall trophy as well as a check for US$10,000.
Oddly enough, according to Hemmings, the inspiration and desire for this car actually came from a set of rare Ardun heads, which Mumford had collected wanting to make the focal point of a hot rod. After sending the car off to hot-rod builder, Roy Brizio, the heads are just one of many reasons to love this particular roadster. Just to show how competitive the event is, Mumford's '27 Roadster beat out a '33 Ford Roadster that had set a pair of speed records at Bonneville last year and a '32 Ford High Boy Roadster owned by Ford executive vice president Jim Farley.
Be sure to check out our live gallery showing more of Mumford's award-winning car as well as some of the roadsters it was up against, and also check out the car's build here.

While LePage has consistently proven himself to be a bully, often embarrassing the people of Maine with his statements and actions, a new federal investigation has found that, under LePage, the Maine Department of Labor endangered the fairness of unemployment hearings.
This is an egregious politicization of what should be a fair and impartial system to determine unemployment benefits - an earned benefit.
Just last week, Maine's Government Oversight Committee unanimously subpoenaed employees of Maine's Center for Disease Control as part of an investigation into whether or not senior officials ordered an employee to shred public documents.
Citizens should have a government free from corruption - or even the appearance of corruption. Clearly, the LePage Administration has been anything but open, transparent or free from malfeasance.
It's time for Governor LePage to resign.

Allies, Too: A Step Forward Or More of the Same?
Exodus Youth has launched a new initiative, the Allies, Too project, whose stated goal is "to build a community of tolerance and respect." As Focus on the Family reports,
"We hope most of all to bridge the gap between Christian and GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered) students that has been created by the promotion of false tolerance," said Mike Ensley, youth analyst for Exodus. "Our goal is to embolden and educate students to make a stand for real tolerance – treating each other with dignity and respect in the midst of debate."
While dignity and respect are certainly laudable goals, Ensley's notion that the "gap between Christian and GLBT students" is somehow the product of gay-straight alliances and other efforts to combat bullying and discrimination begs the question of when Christian students (at least those likely to side with Exodus) were ever on friendly terms with GLBT individuals, and when and how gay activism allegedly destroyed this bygone utopia.
It also begs the question of what "dignity and respect in the midst of debate" look like to Ensley. Will Allies, Too work to educate Christians on how to treat others with dignity and respect, or will it and Exodus continue to stand by as their allies portray "unrepentant" gays as abominations, pedophiles, destroyers of families everywhere or just plain stupid?
Will Allies, Too speak up when Exodus leaders side with anti-gay extremists? Will it correct its political allies when they use false statistics and twisted or distorted research?
Given the religious right's history of demanding respect without showing any to its opponents, Allies, Too will hopefully be understanding of the skepticism it's bound to encounter. And given that the resource list in its Leadership Packet consists entirely of websites that promote a single viewpoint (including NARTH) and fails to offer any materials to instruct students in how to conduct meaningful dialogue, that skepticism would appear to be well founded.
Allies, Too has scheduled its national campaign for the week of November 5 (scheduled to coincide with the Gay and Lesbian Straight Education Network's (GLSEN) Ally Week), so we won't have long to wait to see whether this new initiative represents a sincere effort at reaching out to GLBT individuals or just another salvo in the culture war that it claims to deplore.

Managing former peers.
Becoming "the boss" can change almost everything – and it can change nothing.
Sure, you have more power. And you can influence your former peers in completely new ways. But you're still the same person.
Suddenly, though, the things you say have more importance, and your former teammates look to you for answers, not just ideas.
What do you do with this newly found power? It may be tempting to make the changes that you always wanted, order people to do what you want to be done, and feel good about your new promotion. However, this type of behavior may not win you much respect or cooperation.
But you probably don't want to use the opposite approach either. A new boss who tries to remain "one of the guys" can end up frustrating everyone. When you're more concerned about friendships than results, poor decisions are usually inevitable. If you're afraid of being called "bossy," you may not hold people accountable, or you may avoid making unpopular decisions.
So, how do you manage the difficult learning curve of becoming a boss, and the delicate balance of leading former peers? There's no immediate or easy solution, and you won't be perfect. However, by understanding the challenges and by keeping an open mind, you can develop new ways to relate to your team that are effective and produce results.
As a newly-promoted boss, many or all of the following may apply to you:

So, I've been biking regularly since it started getting warm around here. I used to ride a lot when I was a kid, but it's been about 10 years since I had a bike, and since then I've gained about 80 lbs.
Getting back into it, I've been training at the gym on the side, and my cardio is coming around nicely. Unfortunately, my comfort level on the bike is the chief factor in deciding how long I ride for.
I was having terrible wrist pain, until this weekend, when I went in to my LBS to try out some nicer bikes (my current Schwinn is starting to show its price tag and an upgrade may be in store for the off season) and the sales rep (after duly measuring me up) placed the bike seat about 6-10 inches lower than where I've been riding. This has helped a TON with my wrist pain, though I think I'm suffering some performance issues as my gut now gets pressed in by my legs, and thus affects my breathing. Hopefully I'll keep up my current regimen/intensity and this problem will take care of itself. Meanwhile, a useful tip for the other Clyde's out there suffering from wrist pain.
However, I also have a problem with seat pain that is not going away as I continue to ride, as I'd hoped. Right now, a 20 mile ride leaves me in agony over the last 5 miles or so. My legs still have several more miles in them, but I'm not sure how I'm going to continue upping my distance. My first ride of the season is in a month, and it's 30 miles, which I'll be doing along with a couple members of the family who are seasoned riders (thus I'd like to start making 30 mile runs now, so I can work on some speed so they are not blowing me away). I went out and bought a nice gel seat, and continue wearing liner shorts (no lycra for me just yet). I still have sharp pain in the seat, as well as shooting pains going down my legs. The new seat has a middle, but it is fairly indented. Any other suggestions?
I also (though this is not as big a problem as the seat issue) have some mild numbness/discomfort in my feet. I've always had a rough time in any sport where my feet are strapped in (snowboarding, wakeboarding, etc). Seems I have fairly "tall" feet, and they are prone to losing circulation under pressure (though I have great curculation otherwise). I'm still riding in gym shoes and toe clips, so that may be a problem. However before I spend $100+ on a set of pedals and cleats, I'd like to know if there will be any circulatory benefit, as I'm not really to the point where I'm worried about more efficient power transfer, etc. Thanks in advance for the help.

Document Type thesis Author Name Song, Yang URN etd-013014-010504 Title Semi-Automatic Registration Utility for MR Brain Imaging of Small Animals Degree MS Department Mechanical Engineering Advisors Sullivan, John M., Advisor Keywords MRI image registration Date of Presentation/Defense 2013-12-09 Availability mixed Abstract
The advancements in medical technologies have allowed more accurate diagnosis and quantitative assessments. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most effective and critical technologies in modern diagnosis. However, preprocessing tasks are required to perform various research topics basing on MR image. Registration is one of the those preprocessing tasks. In this research, a semi-automatic utility was developed for doing MRI registration of small animals. It focuses on 2D rigid body registration. The test results show that this developed utility can perform registration well for MRI of small animals in both intra-subject and inter-subjects.

It was not optimized for dual core processors even though they were available at the time of its release.

Lucasarts has only released one patch for Battlefront II, and that was over a year ago, which did not solve the dual core crash fix. Lucasarts have been absolutely useless in their attempts to resolve these problems and it seems they no longer care. Instead it's been left to the customers who bought this, to figure it out for themselves. This is a faulty product as far as I'm concerned, and really it should be taken off the market.I'm not exactly sure how it will perform on other computers, but I've been through every forum relating to this topic, and a lot of people were having the same problem as me. There is no solution to this. If you buy this game, and find that it's not working properly, then it's your own fault.

Modern Technology Leads To Stunning Archaeological Discoveries In Egypt
In the past, archeological artifacts have been discovered either through big digs based on earlier finds or accidentally - during a road or building construction project. Now, some scientists are using cutting edge technology to take out the guess work from the process - And, what has been able to discover so far, can only be described as amazing.
In mid-May, a team of archeologists led by University of Alabama Egyptologist Sarah Parcack, revealed that they had been able to discern 17 new pyramids, 1,000 new tombs, and, over 3,000 buildings just below the sand in the Egyptian desert. The breakthrough came after more than a year of careful examination of existing satellite imagery of Egypt's Nile Delta obtained from NASA and commercial satellites.
Ms. Parcack said that her team was able to spot these hidden treasures thanks to the fact that the ancient Egyptian buildings were made mostly from mud bricks, which are denser than the soil surrounding them. This difference in density structure was clearly visible in the hi-resolution infrared satellite images that had been taken from a distance of 435 miles, above the surface of the earth.
Some experts were at first a little skeptical about Ms. Parcack's claims. However, the team did a test dig based on an image found near the modern day San El Hagar in the Nile Delta and unearthed a 3,000 year-old house that was once part of the ancient city of Tanis. Ms. Parcack believes that this find is just the tip of the iceberg and that there are many more hidden civilizations, waiting to be discovered.
And, that's not the only exciting discovery made this month. Last week, a robot was able to accomplish something archeologists have been trying for centuries - Snake its way into the labyrinthine tunnels inside the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Ever since the pyramid was discovered, scientists have wondered about the purpose of the two eight-inch square shafts that lead from the Queen's Chamber to the pyramid's large stone doors.
To try solve the mystery, a team of engineers collaborated with the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities and designed a robot that was small and flexible enough to sneak inside the tiny area and take picture from all corners. The images remitted back revealed mysterious red wall markings that had been hidden from the human eye for over 4,500 years. Researchers are not sure what the markings mean, but they have been spotted at other ancient sites in Giza too and deciphering them may be the key to unlocking the mysteries that lie behind the shafts of one of the original Seven Wonders of the World.
We wonder what other hidden treasures will be revealed as archeologists increasingly turn to cutting edge technology as an exploration tool.

My Jewish Chicago: Henry Greenebaum
November 9th, 2012Filed under: Exhibitions, Stories
Finding artifacts turned out to be one of the great challenges and joys of Shalom Chicago. The Museum's collection has few items identified as being Jewish, so I had to conduct my search using other means. One of the most productive methods was to search by family names found in secondary sources written about the community. They included names such as Alschuler, Horner, Mandel, and Greenebaum. I was familiar with the first three; they are prominent names in Chicago history as well as Jewish Chicago history. But, I did not know much about the Greenebaum family or if the Museum had any related materials. To my surprise, I found a beautiful portrait of Henry Greenebaum in the Museum's paintings and sculpture collection and a cache of documents in our Research Center.
Henry Greenebaum, c. 1875
John Phillips, oil on canvas
Gift of the Estate of Henry Greenebaum through Mrs. Alexander Bergman
In 1848, at age fifteen, Greenebaum emigrated from Bavaria to Chicago, and in the decades following, he contributed greatly to his adopted city. Greenebaum became a prominent banker; helped found Sinai Congregation and United Hebrew Charities; served as the city's first Jewish alderman; helped establish the Chicago Historical Society (CHS, today's Chicago History Museum); raised the Concordia Guards, a Jewish company that served in the Civil War; and, after the Great Fire of 1871, secured critical funds for rebuilding the city.
In 1870, Greenebaum purchased a CHS life membership for $300, affirming his identity as a Chicagoan.
Gift of the Estate of Henry Greenebaum through Mrs. Alexander Bergman
Greenebaum's many noteworthy accomplishments and the richness of the materials he left behind convinced me that he should be one of the personal stories featured in Shalom Chicago. His portrait alone is worth exhibiting, but I also found his naturalization certificate, some business papers, and a lifetime membership card to CHS. Greenebaum's story and artifacts make significant connections to both the history of Chicago and its Jewish community, perfectly illustrating how immigrant Jews and their descendants adapted to American society while retaining their Jewish identity.

Any smaller, local nursery probably purchases locally grown stock. Call anyone and ask where they get their stock of Japanese maples. I worked in a nursery in downtown Atlanta and all our stock trees came from Fayetteville. All the Japanese maples did well here, we mainly had the medium size varieties as the tiny dwarfs were expensive. |
I have planted Osakazuki, Hogyoku, Fireglow, Waterfall, Orangeola, Butterfly (not my favorite), Orange Dream, Tsugushigata, 2 Japonicums (fernleaf & vitifolium), and all thrive. Bloodgood is also very common in Atlanta. They are not fussy. I just keep them watered for the first 2 years and then leave them alone. There used to be a great Japanese Maple nursery on Covington Hwy., about 6 miles east of 285. He had (or has - I hope he's still in business) dozens of varieties of both palmatum and japonicum. Pike's also has a very respectable selection. Atlanta is prime territory for Japanese Maples. |

I am growing about 40 different cultivars of JM's, including Acer palmatum, A. japonicum & A. shirasawanum and all do well in this area. All are located in areas of all day or afternoon shade during the summer months. Most of mine are Acer palmatum dissectums, which are small stature or dwarf types and don't tolerate a full sun exposure very well. I agree with davidcf, that adequate moisture is necessary during the first year or two, until the roots become well established and after that, you would be well advised to deeply water them during long periods of drought. My trees, of all types, are of prime concern during long periods without rainfall. Perennial plants can be easily replaced, but it often requires a lifetime to replace a mature tree. The nursery referred to above, is the Maple Farm on Covington Hwy, Decatur, owned and operated by Mike Francis. |

Awhile ago I asked for some opinions on my design for the built-ins in our bedroom and people here were very helpful. I haven't had a lot of time to hang out here (I'm bound and determined to finish up the projects in this house before gardening season comes around), but I wanted to stop in to show you how they look now.
Obviously they need to be painted (which I'll do as soon as I finish the stairs). I probably made the dresser portion a little too high, but I think it's OK. And the window seat looks shrimpy but I'll put a 4-inch cushion on it like I did in my kitchen so it should end up about 21 inches high and quite comfy. The bookshelf type thing over the top of the window was a last-minute add on because I felt we needed something to bridge the gap between the two sides of the built-in. It's very high and I won't be able to reach it without a step ladder so not the most functional thing in the world, but more storage is always good in a small house, right? I'm pretty excited about it. And the drawers are all full extension so you can actually get to those last 3 inches in the back of the drawer! It's the first decent "dresser" I've had since I was a little kid. But this is what I have to finish before I'm allowing myself to work on the built-ins: the staircase from hell. Some previous owner painted over the dark stained and polyurethaned risers, but failed to sand or prime first so they've been a mess since we moved in and I finally decided to make it right once and for all. Not fun. It's going to make painting those built-ins downright fun! |

They are really wonderful. I think the dresser being a little higher is just fine. The three drawers on each side is perfect. This all is so so pretty. My heart breaks for you having to work on those stairs. The gold mine at the top hopefully will give you hope and strength. I have seen several wonderful mosaic stair tread fronts. |
- Posted by young-gardener (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 11 at 7:59
Oh, wow! The built ins are gorgeous! I can't wait to see the room all finished up. I'd LOVE to have storage like that! Good luck with the stairs. It'll be well worth the effort. |
- Posted by shadygrove (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 11 at 8:01
Those are great-looking.....you say that you built them yourself? Stock lumber and something the average Jane could do, or are you a master cabinet-maker? You're certainly adding value onto your home, one way or another. Thanks for posting them and Now I Want Some! |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Tue, Feb 22, 11 at 9:54
OMG, your cabs bring that awkward shaped wall right into functional use ! And they are so beautiful. I'd be tempted to put a clear coat on the wood, because it is such a pretty shade itself. But, whatever you do, the result will be breathtaking. I cannot see how much is left at the top of the unit, but if you have a big round disk, like a copper tray, or a painted round tray that is huge enough to place there, think about putting it where that vertical divider is for your top bookshelf area. Then you might be able to leave it blank otherwise. Or, some storage boxes that are same color as your walls in general, so they sort of disappear and leave center stage to that round disk/tray. If you love Pennsylvania Dutch design, which I think your blue door cover suggests you might, a colorful tray with hearts and flowers on it would look good. Anyway, I am putting your wall unit in my clippings. Great job. |

Thanks for the nice comments and suggestions, all. Sorry to mislead ... I didn't build them, but I did design them. A friend's husband is a cabinetmaker and he made our banquette in the kitchen as well as this. I don't think he charges enough (this whole unit cost me less than the vanity and linen cabinet in the bathroom, which was made by someone else), but I'm certainly not going to argue with him! It will have to be painted. The maple is paint grade (although that doesn't mean you can't clearcoat it) but some of the material is MDF. I think I'm going to paint the backs of the open shelves by the window a light blue color. I'm just so thrilled with the storage. I mean, I honestly don't know what we're going to fill all that with. I mean, I'm sure we will, but right now I don't know what is going where and that's an awesome problem to have. We also managed to get a small walk-in closet (5x6) in the renovation so we have that to. My husband and I will actually be able to keep our clothes in the same room! I'm going to leave the two triangle shaped openings open for the time being but the cabinet maker said he could put panels or doors on them if we wanted them. I think they sort of balance things out by being open so we'll try that for awhile. I'm excited to start finishing it, which is why I'm forcing myself to deal with that staircase first. |
They turned out great and the addition over the window is perfect. I think taller dressers are a lot more useful than shorter ones and it looks fine. What a job those stairs are. Bet you just want to throttle those PO's. lol |
Oooh, that looks wonderful! What great storage! Those stairs--believe it or not, they look fantastic next to the stairs I have been staring at (har, har) for several years. Honestly, I don't even know what to do with them, as they've been painted over and over--horrific colors, and they are absolutely beat. I will enjoy watching your steps transform for the time being. ;^) |

I know mosaic is not for many. I love this design she did. A more simple design can be done with tiles from home depot or lowes or?? That could tie in with the style of your house. Why I linked to this staircase is because she gives directions on how she did it. It might not save you time but time spent sure would be more enjoyable then sanding. |

I love it Chris! A real work of art there. Can you imagine how much planning was involved to make it look right? |
- Posted by shades_of_idaho (My Page) on Wed, Feb 23, 11 at 16:50
Yes Marti I certainly can. And such a great idea for her to put it all on plexi glass to be able to take with her. It would look lovely in a long hallway or?? I know this look is not for many. I would do it in a heart beat. I am working on our master bath back splash right not to go with the counter. A fun fix to cover up ugly. Chris |

I saw a couple of stair risers which had numbers on them. First riser had "1" and so on up the stairs. It could be done in a mosaic, don't see why not. And I know you have your work cut out for you with those stairs, but you will turn it into a show piece. You execute your projects beautifully. |

Oh, that storage is going to be wonderful...and I love your window seat! :) |
What a wonderful, useful storage space. I also love your wall color. What is it? Love that window seat and all that storage. |
You did a wonderful job designing the built ins. They fit the space perfectly. I can't wait to see what it looks like finished. |

Shelayne sez: "Those stairs--believe it or not, they look fantastic next to the stairs I have been staring at (har, har) for several years. Honestly, I don't even know what to do with them, as they've been painted over and over--horrific colors, and they are absolutely beat. " I noticed in the Holmes Magazine issue an ad for some soy based paint stripper, and it was very mild. Not so violent as the usual stuff. I'll go get my issue and find it again to give you the name. I think if the stairs really are multiple layers of OLD paint, you'd do better to remove that and see what you find. Hopefully it will be worth your while. However, I can think of nothing more uncomfortable than trying to perch on a narrow old step while twisting sideways to scrape away the softened paint. Just how many steps do you have in those stairs? Hold on....... Soy*Gel is a consumer friendly paint, varnish, and urethane remover. The low evaporation rate of Soy*Gel and its gel formulation make it possible to remove several layers of paint in one application. During the removal of lead based paint, it becomes encapsulated in the gel, preventing air born lead particles, allowing for safe and easy disposal. Soy*Gel contains no methylene chloride, is not an alkaline based stripper and cleans up easily with water. Unlike traditional paint strippers Soy*Gel lets you work without the odor. Indoors or outdoors, you can be guaranteed a safe restoration process with Soy*Gel. Made from 100% American Grown Soybeans. Works on horizontal and vertical surfaces. All the above is quoted from their full page ad on p.107 of the Feb 2011 issue of Holmes Magazine. Their website I give below. I do not work for them, nor benefit in any way. However, if this stuff works it can solve a lot of old house problems. |

Sorry for leaving you guys hanging! I got out of town for a few days. It was SO needed. I didn't realized how stressed I was about house stuff and various other life-related issues until I got away a little bit. Anyway, CCin Texas, the wall color is Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. I have it in our kitchen too and I like it just as much there. The trim color is BM Mascarpone and that's what I'll be painting the built-ins too. So the mini vacation was nice but now it's back to the stairs! Argh. |
A mini vacation sounds nice. We're trying to plan one right now. Dh is in dire need of a break. How are you coming on the stairs? |
- Posted by moccasinlanding (My Page) on Fri, Mar 4, 11 at 20:14
I've been looking at the BM Mascarpone in the PB catalog. It is one of their pallette colors. I really like it. Also the grays. I have a few plants hanging over the kitchen sink, nice green stuff. Tonight I sat the bottle of dish detergent close by, and it was a soft milky lavender. Oh wow, POP. It reminded me that as a child I loved to paint with green and lavender, and then the dark blue/green color. Fresh. |

Editorial Reviews
a weekly dose of architecture,
features interviews with nine firms practicing architecture in the United States:
Gehry Technologies
Chris Hoxie
LTL Architects
MY Studio
and George Yu Architects. A few are consultants and many produce buildings of their own design, but none of them resemble traditional architectural firms. These offices can be seen as architecture firms of the not-too-distant future, on the forefront of production and building design in the profession. Naturally technology and its incorporation into design and practice plays a large role, as does research, diversity of work and other approaches. It's not hard to find consistencies among the nine practices in these areas, but it's difficult to find commonalities in design; each office is idiosyncratic, arising from the human interaction with technology, among other things. The interviews do a very good job in expressing the focus of each firm and how their working processes follow from them. Interspersed among the nine interviews are images of completed projects, diagrams, mock-ups and renderings, construction documents, and construction photos. Essays by participating architects and others bookend the whole package. (At the end are some kind words by Neil Denari on the late George Yu.) The book's structure mimics online hyperlinks, with text and images keyed to each other like an index to an atlas, gridded coordinates and all, an unnecessary extra that leads to errors arising from lack of coordination. Nevertheless the grouped images extend the reach of the interviews, and they help greatly in sections like onsite photos where the two L's from LTL actually construct some of their interior designs. The book ultimately finds a common denominator in technology's application to architectural practice, though the diversity of its use is refreshing, pointing to even more potential with other individuals and firms. A potential homogenization of design and practice arising from the computer appears here to be unfounded. Or as the authors find, a unifying theory is not what's called for, but rather the capacity to navigate a multivalent and expending network of approaches that generates a relevant architecture now."
Winter Books Roundup,
Metropolis Magazine:
documents the work of nine American architecture firms, exploring each ones methodology and the influence of new technologies on its practice. The book is separated into alternating sections of essays, images, and interviews with partners from firms like Gehry Technolgies, Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis, and SHoP... computer renderings and diagrams, and photographs taken at various stages of project completion help make the connection between the early stages of software-aided renderings, actual building construction, and finished designs." — George Beane

Soulellis Studio :
"The other is Provisional: Emerging Modes of Architectural Practice USA, edited by Elite Kedan, Jon Dreyfous and Craig Mutter and published this month by Princeton Architectural Press. Less about the architectural object and more about practice and process, featuring some hot folks. Beautiful design by Project Projects and worth a look."
Architectural Scholar:
"The success of this book is that it clearly illustrates a variety of very distinct modes of building a young architectural practice. Each mode/firm is different in that they focus on very unique aspects of the architectural process or profession from visualization, consulting, design build, exhibition design, information design, et cetera - et cetera." — Britton Chambers
Provisional Practice USA.,
"So maybe before you think of starting up on your own office - take a look into this book." — Christoph
Architectural Record:
offers a window on how 21st- century architects are redefining their profession. Insightful interviews and a wealth of drawings, renderings, and photographs bring into focus a cross section of young architects thoroughly comfortable with new technologies."
"...this is a book that is worth diving deep into."
