Upcoming Expeditions
IODP Expedition 353, Indian Monsoon Rainfall, is now underway to explore how monsoon patterns have influenced global ice volume and greenhouse gas concentrations over geologic time. See the schedule for more IODP expeditions.
Izu-Bonin-Mariana Fore Arc: Exp. 352 (July 30 - Sept 29)
Concluding the JOIDES Resolution's 2014 trio of expeditions to the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc System, Exp 352 examined how subduction begins at convergent oceanic plate margins.
Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc Origins: Exp. 351 (May 30 - July 30)
This JOIDES Resolution expedition examined the inception and evolution of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana Arc by obtaining sedimentary and crustal records from the Amami Sankaku Basin in the northern Philippine Sea.
Izu-Bonin-Mariana Rear Arc: Exp. 350 (March 30 - May 30)
This JOIDES Resolution expedition focused on understanding crustal genesis and mantle evolution of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) rear arc system by examining sediments and crust in the Philippine Sea.
Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment Stage 3: Exp.348 (13 September - 29 January 2014)
In Expedition 348, Chikyu advanced the riser hole at Site C0002 to a record-setting 3056 m below the sea floor, the deepest in scientific ocean drilling history, and cased it for future access to the deep interior of an active convergent margin.
This expedition used the Greatship Manisha to study the paleoenvironmental evolution of the Baltic Sea Basin through the last glacial cycle.
The International Ocean Discovery Program: Exploring the Earth under the Sea (IODP) continues over five decades of international collaboration to recover geological data and samples from beneath the ocean floor to study the history and dynamics of Planet Earth. IODP is guided by the science plan Illuminating Earth's Past, Present, and Future.

Climbing into a Porsche 911 is always good for one's spirits. The story with this car is the PDK (Porsche's dual-clutch automatic) transmission, and I have a few thoughts on that: First, Porsche got the hardest part right, which is to say they tuned the initial clutch engagement for a smooth step-off. If you think that'd be easy, try driving a Lamboghini with e-Gear or a Nissan GT-R sometime. Second, the shifts seem really, really quick to me. I don't know how many milliseconds they quote, but it feels as fast as a Ferrari sequential-manual box.
However, the shift buttons on the steering wheel are super-lame. Here's how you do a paddle-shift: You mount big-ass levers on either side of the steering column, with left for down and right for up. That's it. That's how Ferrari and Lamborghini do it (not to mention Mitsubishi) and it works. But it's like Porsche can't admit that the Italians got it right, so they have this weird button system that's less intuitive and offers the tactility of a PlayStation controller. Come on, Porsche. Just admit that Ferrari knows what they're doing on this one.
My other beef is just with a non-manual 911 in general. One of the pleasures of a 911 is listening to that grumbling exhaust note, and a clutch gives you more freedom to play around. Not just blipping the throttle, but even when you're parking, you can rev it up a little bit as you let the clutch out, blip it some, make it sound like a high-strung beast that doesn't want to go quietly in to that good parking spot. With the computer in control, you just park. That's it. Part of the glee of 911 ownership, neutered.
One other thought concerns the seats. I am not Andre the Giant, and at about six feet, 180 pounds, I am too wide for the seats. The 911 seats look like they were molded around Mary Kate Olsen's shoulder bones. What gives? Germans are a hearty, schnitzel-eating people. They are deluding their beefy, beer-swilling Hun selves by building seats sized for tapeworm-infested woodland fairies.

By: Debbie | January 28 2010 | Category: NIH Resources, Scientists in the Community
I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in science, but figuring out how to achieve my goals was another matter altogether. My parents were not college graduates. Although they supported my career goals, they were unable to offer the guidance I needed. I could have used advice on things like: how to finance a college education, how to choose a major, and how to navigate my career options after earning my bachelors degree. I wonder now how differently my career path might have been if a mentor had been there to guide me along the way. The NIH has taken a very proactive role in helping high school and college students to pursue careers in behavioral and social science, biomedical science, dental, and healthcare careers. Through its LifeWorks® E-mentoring program, students are linked via e-mail with e-mentors who provide them with relevant information, guidance and support. The NIH continues to recruit new mentors to support students nationwide. If you are an undergraduate student, university professor, postdoctoral fellow, independent researcher, or healthcare worker interested in becoming a mentor, visit the LifeWorks® E-mentoring Web site for more information. High school and undergraduate students, if you are interested in finding a mentor, visit the LifeWorks® E-mentoring Web site to learn what you need to get started. |

Lingering clouds gave parts of San Luis Obispo County trace amounts of rain, Friday. Those clouds have already started to clear out, and should be gone by mid morning and early afternoon.
Temperatures will jump 5-10 degrees for Saturday as that is the first day of a warming trend on the Central Coast. Interior valleys will be in the upper 70's and low 70's, coastal valleys mid to upper 70's and the beaches will top out in the mid to upper 60's.
Expect temps to jump another 5-10 degrees Sunday - which will be above normal for this time of year. Sunday will also have lots of sunshine.
Have a great weekend!

by Niccolo Machiavelli , Translated by George Bull
Category: Language & Literature / Poetry Anthologies
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd
Publication date: 30 January 2003
Number of pages: 144
"The Prince" shocked Europe on publication with its ruthless tactics for gaining absolute power and its abandonment of conventional morality. Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) came to be regarded as some by an agent of the Devil and his name taken for the intriguer 'Machevill' of Jacobean tragedy. For his treatise on statecraft Machiavelli drew upon his own experience of office under the turbulent Florentine republic, rejecting traditional values of political theory and recognizing the complicated, transient nature of political life. Concerned not with lofty ideals, but with a regime that would last, "The Prince" has become the Bible of realpolitik, and still retains its power to alarm and to instruct.
What the papers say:
"'Connell provides by far the best historical introduction to a student text of The Prince that I have ever seen. It is concise, clear, and remarkably straightforward given the complexity of the issues it treats, including not only the precise context of the work's composition, but also some very helpful description of its reception. As a whole, in my view, this edition of The Prince is the very best available in English, and I look forward to using it in my classes.' - Kenneth Gowens, University of Connecticut, USA 'This edition of The Prince handles all the basics well, but this version goes beyond the norm in that everything, from the introduction to the notes to the translation to the related documents, is chosen in such a way as to make this complicated work make real sense to students who may be coming to it with very little background. That the translator has produced such a version while also-in the related documents as well as in some of the notes-incorporating some real scholarly discoveries is all the more to his credit.' - Christopher Celenza, Michigan State University, USA 'This is one of the best critical editions of The Prince available in English, if not the best. What I mean by this is quite literal: readers who want to cite Machiavelli chapter and verse should use this edition. Readers who want some sense of how the text evolved, while reading it in an accessible form, should use this edition. Readers who want a good introduction to related documentation, should also turn to Connell.' - Paula Findlen, Stanford University, USA
Author's Biography:
Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527) was appointed secretary and Second Chancellor to the Florentine Republic in 1498. He was dismissed from his post in 1512 and forced to withdraw from public life, after which time he wrote THE PRINCE, a handbook for rulers. GEORGE BULL translated widely from the Italian, including for Penguin Classics including Cellini's 'Autobiography' and Vasari's 'Lives of the Artists'. ANTHONY GRAFTON teaches European intellectual history at Princeton University.

Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson says he is prepared to put his leadership on the line over his support for a federal merger of the Liberal and National parties.
Dr Nelson on Sunday said a merger needed to happen, but one of his frontbenchers warned the plan had major flaws and should not go ahead.
There have been calls for the two conservative parties to merge since the November 24 election saw the coalition swept from office.
Dr Nelson has in the past offered muted support for a merger, but on Sunday he was more enthusiastic.
"I think that merging with the National Party - that's the Liberal and the National parties coming together - makes eminent good sense," he told the Ten Network.
"I have a strong view about this.
"I do think that in the medium, certainly the long term, our two parties will need to merge."
Asked if he was prepared to put his leadership authority on the line over the issue, Dr Nelson said: "Yes, I am."
However, Dr Nelson said if there was significant opposition or resistance to a merger, it should be left for another time.
Dr Nelson also said any merger should be considered and driven by the parties' organisational leaders, not their parliamentary wings.
Opposition justice spokesman Christopher Pyne said a merger would not be in the interest of either party.
"I don't want to disagree with Brendan about particular issues, but I am on the record as being not supportive of a merger," Mr Pyne told Sky News.
He warned a merger would only provide room for a new political party to emerge in bush electorates.
"The likelihood is that a new country party would simply spring up behind the merged entity.
"Bob Katter or Tony Windsor or some other country person would establish a new country party, which would have some support."
Mr Pyne's other concern was the differences between the two parties.
"The National Party is a conservative party.
"The Liberal Party has always said that we are both liberals and conservatives.
"We hold both the strains of non-Labor thinking within our party, and merging the Nationals and the Liberals would not be merging two like parties."
Senior Nationals leaders on Sunday met in Sydney to discuss the party's future - including the possibility of a merger - and its poor showing in the federal election.
The Nationals now have just 10 MPs, and in the Senate they are led by Nigel Scullion who is a member of the Northern Territory's breakaway Country Liberal Party.
A merger would end the 64-year history of the Liberal Party and 78 years of representation of rural voters by the Nationals.

Athens Scores 3-1 Win Over Whitehouse In Soccer Season Opener
ATHENS -- The Athens Hornets began the soccer season with a 3-1 win over Whitehouse on Tuesday night.
ATHENS -- The Athens Hornets began the soccer season with a 3-1 win over Whitehouse on Tuesday night.
TYLER -- Greg Priest will be recommended as the next athletic director of Tyler ISD during the next Board of Trustees meeting on June 23.
District 32-4A did some damage in the playoffs this season, highlighted by Pine Tree's run to the sectional round of the 4A girls soccer playoffs.
With the season over, the coaches from across the district sat down to name their all-district teams and league MVPs.
CARROLLTON -- Many of Hallsville's faithful blew off Friday for a trip to the Metroplex and the Bobcats' meeting with The Dallas Morning News' No. 1 area soccer team.
It wasn't the game Hallsville wanted to see, a 7-2 loss to Frisco Liberty in the 4A Region II semifinals, but watching the hometown boys play at Standridge Stadium was just an extra treat upon a very impressive season
CARROLLTON -- Pine Tree head coach André Lo stared out to the field that had undoubtedly hosted Friday's most exciting soccer game in the state.
The Pirates lost their 4A Region II semifinal game to Frisco Wakleland, 3-2, with the game's final four goals coming in the game's final nine minutes
Below is a list of boys regional tournament soccer playoff pairings involving East Texas teams.
FORNEY -- Through the first 12 minutes, it seemed as if it would be a long night for the Pine Tree Pirates. But as coach Andre' Lo often says, "the 'O' in 'champion' stands for 'overcome.'"
FORNEY -- Mother Nature didn't do the Whitehouse LadyCats any favors as a blustery, steady wind of more than 20 mph throughout prevented them from finding any continuity.
LINDALE -- The Bobcats have done some impressive things through four rounds of the Class 4A soccer playoffs.

She first volunteered as a campaign worker 3rd Congressional District Rep. Bill Brock in his 1970 campaign for the Senate.
Brock, of Chattanooga, was raised as a Democrat. His grandfather, William Emerson Brock I, was appointed to fill the vacancy in the U.S. Senate caused by the death of Lawrence D. Tyson in 1929. He was elected in November 1930 to the remainder of the term that ended in 1931. He did not seek re-election.
Brock, the grandson, became a Republican in the 1950s. Tennessee's 3rd congressional district was the only Democratic fortification in traditionally Republican leaning East Tennessee. Forty years of Democratic control of the district ended in 1962, with Brock's election to Congress.
Eleanor "Kay" Howles Shamblin was born to William and Ruth Howles of Memphis. Though her father never held elected office, he raised the family to be active in the Christian faith and in politics.
"Dad was a politician," she said. "He always said when you're looking for someone to vote for, it is not whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. You've got to look at the issues, look at the issues, and then look at the issues, to know what [politicians] stand for. You're not looking for someone who is popular. You've got to know what somebody stands for and how it is going to affect you."
And she always looks at the issues, but the main issues are "abortions and anything against God's word. That was it. We were raised in a Christian home and I've been a Christian since I was 13 years old. I was saved at a Billy Graham crusade when he was just a young man having a tent revival."
Shamblin was a Christian before, "but that tied the knot. I've been corresponding with Billy Graham ever since."
Shamblin said she has met Graham three times and through sentiment, she made scrapbooks on both Billy and Franklin Graham.
"Anyway, it was wonderful being raised in a Christian family because it didn't take long to realize what the issues were — and when you were 18 you got to vote. That was the most exciting time to me."
The 26th Amendment to the Constitution bars states and the federal government from setting a voting age higher than 18. The amendment was adopted July 1, 1971 in response to student activism against the Vietnam War and to partially overrule the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Oregon v. Mitchell.
Shamblin met her husband, Bill, in Memphis where he attended training for Western Electric, which at that time was part of the Bell Telephone System. The couple were married and moved to Chattanooga after Bill finished training.
They have been married 58 years and raised three children: Brenda, who died from cancer about 10 year ago; Sheila, a school teacher in Nashville, and Steven, an engineer with the TVA in Chattanooga. They are also proud grandparents of six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
"All of our children are Christians and they all have Christian homes. And every one of them are dyed-in-the-wool Republicans," she said.
Due to Bill's career with Western Electric, they have worked and traveled throughout 49 states. Over the years, Kay has been a Sunday school and Chapter 1 teacher. The first 25 years of married life was in Chattanooga. They resided in Ooltewah for 13 years before moving to Cleveland 20 years ago when Bill retired.
Shamblin said she takes after her father and neither one of them have a shy bone in their bodies.
"He was a talker," she said.
And when she and Bill moved to Chattanooga, they happened to settle into a neighborhood near the home of the late Congresswoman Marilyn Lloyd along with city and county political hopefuls who, from time to time, asked Shamblin to distribute fliers. Otherwise, she stayed home with her three children.
"I knew where I was supposed to be," she said. "But I did work on the Bill Brock campaign. His was the first to interest me enough to volunteer. Of course, I didn't run it or anything, but I worked on the campaign."
Though she was her father's daughter and was hooked on politics, she never really became an active campaigner until the Shamblins moved to Cleveland and the children were grown.
Over the years, she volunteered for Bradley County Mayor D. Gary Davis, Cleveland Mayor Tom Rowland, state Rep. Kevin Brooks and state Rep. Eric Watson — every one of them, she said.
"We have a lot of good people in Cleveland who are in politics," she said.
She met some politicians by volunteering at the Bradley County Republican Headquarters. They would ask her to do something "and I was off with six-guns blazing."
She and Bill have passed out literature, posted signs and distributed fliers. When she coordinated a campaign, she was the more vocal of the two while Bill worked in the background.
The 2002 Senate campaign for Lamar Alexander was the first big race she helped coordinate.
"It's a wonder I ever did any of them after that," she said. "That's a lot of work."
Shamblin said she was also heavily involved in the successful U.S. Senate campaign of Bill Frist.
"He was another good one, but I've enjoyed every one of them. You get to meet them, their families and friends," she said.
Her last active campaigns were in the November 2012 General Election for Sen. Bob Corker and Gov. Bill Haslam.
"You talk about workers," she said and then whistled for emphasis. "Polished to the T. They have everything organized. They never get tired — and they never eat. That's why they're so thin. What great, organized people Corker and Haslam are. They're gentleman. Everyone in both families worked on the campaigns."
But, from her perspective as county campaign coordinator, she said the candidates and staff are always asking for something during the 12-month races.
"They're always wanting to have something or you've got to get signs and literature out and we've made television commercials," she said.
Shamblin was somewhat disappointed that a Corker commercial in which she appeared was shown only in West Tennessee, but that is where her relatives live.
"There is always something to look forward to and I enjoyed every one of mine, all the way from the beginning to any of them I did in Cleveland."
For her work in Cleveland, she was awarded the Virginia Smith Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award in May 2003 by the Bradley County Republican Party.
And the Tennessee Republican Party recently showed its appreciation to Shamblin for all her work with Statesman of the Year honors from the 4th District. Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey presented awards July 12 to one person from each of the nine congressional districts during the 37th Annual Statesmen's Dinner at the Music City Center in Nashville.
The award was special for Shamblin, who retired from active politics after the November 2012 elections.

Kinda drooling over Becca's new Balearic Love Collection that just arrived! Inspired by distant shores, romantic temptation and stolen glances with a handsome stranger. It's no wonder you feel like you're watching something you shouldn't in these photos. The whole range is just plain seductive and sexy, with an emphasis on smoky eyes, sun kissed skin and berry stained lips.
To achieve this bronzed earth goddess look begin to lightly pat Becca's Eye Tint in Romanticism on
the lid with fingertips. This highly pigmented eye color goes on as a creme but dries as powder leaving a beautiful mauve bronze color to the lid.
The draw is clearly the eyes in the photo and you enhance this smoldering look even more with the Balearic Love Palette filled with three sensuous hues of bronze, plum and violet. Begin by applying Marcella all over the eye, blending into the crease line and intensifying at the outer edges. Next, sweep Romal over the eyelids from lash line but stopping at the crease line. Lastly, accentuate the inner corners of the eyes with Atlas. To make eyes pop even more, find a soft violet eyeliner and rim the top and bottom of eyelids. Finish with Becca's Ultimate Mascara.
Contour the face, blending under the cheekbones into the hollows of the cheeks with Becca's
Mineral Powder Blush in Bolero. This delicate powder brush is infused with micro fine minerals that deliver a soft glow and demi matte bronze color to the
Lastly use Becca Sheer Tint Lip Color in Valentina to give a hint of soft raspberry color and subtle shine to the lips. A formulation so light and creamy it enhances the natural tone of lips while making them appear healthy, moist and full.

There's no better way to show off your legs and decolette this summer than with a sun kissed glow. If you're in a hurry and don't have the time to apply a self tanner than consider Jouer's Luminizing Body Glow. Not only does it moisturize the body with shea butter and chamomile but it also leaves a subtle luminescent glow with a golden, satin finish. Infused with softly blended scents of gardenia, jasmine and honeysuckle will leave you smelling perfectly sweet.
«Amazing Creme & Wet Eyeliners! -
I much prefer liquid or creamy based eyeliners than powder. For one, I've had a bad run with powder eyeshadows when I try to be wet my brush and attempt to turn them into a wetter consistency for lining. Although some powder shadows are meant to be able to do this, I still find that after I draw my line, tiny powder particles seem to land on my upper cheeks throughout the day. As I'm constantly touching my face, there have been some smudging 'accidents that make me look I'm going out for the football team. Luckily for me, we just got in some amazing new eyeliners in store!
Kevyn Aucoin's Precision Liquid Liner comes with a felt tip applicator for easy lining or more daredevil accuracy for a dramatic cat eye. It's also waterproof so will hold onto your eyelids for dear life, come rain, sleet, sweat or snow. As it's a quick drying formulation, there's no need for you to not blink for two minutes nor fan your eyes (come on ladies we've all been there).
There's no point investing in a creme liner without knowing you're going to be applying it with an amazing brush. EF | STUDIO's Creme Eye Liner & Precision Point Liner Brush has everything you need for $40. The double ended liner brush is one of the finest engineered brushes on the market making it effortless to apply creamy or water based eye products. The Creme Eye Liner in Kuro has the most luxurious feel and will work for all skin types. It can be used to create sleek, sexy lines or it doubles as a great shadow to create the iconic smoky eye. No smudging, flaking or streaking!
I'm very excited to enhance my eye area with the EF | STUDIO Eye Gloss Transparent which I'm hoping is a much less stickier and tackier version than Mac's Eye Glass. I love the dewy, sensual finish it leaves on your eyes, but not the feeling that your eyelids are stuck. With EF | STUDIO's, it contains moisturizing properties to preserve the natural suppleness of the eye area so it leaves a beautiful wet look to lids without the stick!

Our cleaning lady unthinkingly squirted 409 cleaner in a swirling, random pattern on our shower floor, which is a mosaic of tumbled Dark Emperador marble. It dulled down the finish and looks sad. It is just abut time for us to re-seal the marble, but first we have to figure out how to revive the floor. We read that baking powder might help, but it did not make matters any better at all.
Any practical fixes? I e-wrote to the company that sold us the material to ask, but they have not responded. |

that sucks cus 409 actually makes a really good clear granite and marble spray cleaner which is my favorite of the ones I have tried recently and is gentle. My marble vanity top was installed already etched and duller (look and feel) even compared to my wifes vanity (opposite side) of same marble. Have asked the fabricator/installer why this is and they have said they can maybe do something but haven't yet. I thought maybe the polishing process they do was not done as much on my piece, that or maybe the installers used something on it, not sure. They can't do the fabrication polishing process once installed as it uses high speed water but there has to be something to restore marble finish/polish. I have tried traditional granite/marble polishes for use after you clean it but that only helps a little. It needs something stronger like probably removed and taken to fabricator to have them re do the official polishing process with high speed water and whatever else they do but hopefully not thing out my vanityt o0p too much. The etching I figured is just the normal look of this marble but probably isnt't right either and was either a used slab/piece or who knows what. Let me know if you find out anything to restore and shine up and polish marble and I'll do the same. |

The Northwest Territories Literacy Council has developed an interactive learning tool titled Essential Skills at Work in the North. Funded by the Government of Canada and the Northwest Territories Department of Education, Culture and Employment, the tool is designed to help northerners learn what it takes to succeed in various jobs.
By clicking various posters on a unique, online display board, visitors can learn information about each job that is outlined, the training and background required for each, and the skills needed to do the work successfully. The job profiles also include information about how essential skills are used in each position.
To view the learning tool, go to http://www.nwt.literacy.ca/JobsNorth/.
The link for Essential Skills at Work in the North can also be found by first visiting the NWT Literacy Council's website.
Northern jobs included in the tool are:
Helen Balanoff, executive director of the Northwest Territories Literacy Council, says in creating the learning tool they tried to highlight occupations that were accessible to people in small communities.
"We also wanted to highlight training programs that people could access – at least as a starting point – in smaller communities. If they wanted to advance in the job, they would then have to move to a college campus for further training, but at least they could start at home," Helen said.
"Given that we still have a mixed economy of traditional occupations and wage economy jobs (people often participate in both), we wanted to highlight a 'northern' occupation like trapping, where people often learn the skills from their families and not necessarily through a formal education program."
Essential Skills at Work in the North was produced by Mike Kelly of Interactivist Learning Solutions, and editors were Helen Balanoff, Lisa Campbell and Mary McCreadie.
The learning tool has received great feedback, Helen says, and its developers are currently in the process of expanding the tool – with assistance from the same funders – to include four more occupations.
The learning tool has an accompanying study guide which is located in the NALD library. Aimed at both adult educators and adult learners, the guide offers learning activities for the stories featured in the online tool.

Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, built on the site of the home of Arthur and Ninah Cummer, opened its doors November 10, 1961. From Ninah Cummer's relatively small collection of sixty pieces that launched the museum, the Cummer's permanent collection has grown to over five thousand works of art encompassing eight thousand years of art history.
This enormous growth was accomplished through the generosity of numerous patrons whose gifts of art ranged from single pieces to entire collections. Other notable acquisitions were purchased with endowments established for that purpose by benefactors and the Cummer Council. Particularly noteworthy additions are the Wark Collection of early Meissen porcelain, the Dennis C. Hayes Collection of Japanese woodblock prints, and the Eugène Louis Charvot Collection of nineteenth-century prints and paintings.
Tree Hill Nature Center
Tree Hill Nature Center is a nonprofit wildlife preserve conveniently located in the midst of a Jacksonville, Florida suburb. Tree Hill is an urban wilderness of unspoiled, undeveloped land right in the heart of the city.

Tree of Enchantment Ornamental Glass
The new Tree of Enchantment Ornamental Glass is a beautiful work of art. Each signature piece is created by a 12 hour melting process using broken shards of glass from a Seattle, WA supplier that makes windows for cars, homes and offices.
Stephen Kitras, a world famous artist, is the designer of this hand-blown glass orb. The internal stranding represents the tree trunk and the branches that reach out to the exterior of the ornament support the translucent tree's leaves on the globe's exterior. Truly a stunning work of art by an incredibly talented artist.
Stephen got his start as a glass blower in 1988 acquiring his knowledge and skills at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario Canada. His company, Kitras Art Glass, was formed in 1994 and initially he and his wife, Elke, handled production and administrative tasks; shipping products from their dining room table. By 2001 the company's sales had increased to a point where they had to build a new facility to accommodate the growth. In 2006 Stephen's oldest daughter, Sophie, joined the company as the sales and marketing manager. In 1999 Stephen suffered the loss of his wife to leukemia, but the vision that she and Stephen had for the company continues to flourish.
Each piece of Stephen Kitras' artwork is an individual, unique piece of art making it a perfect gift for an art collector or someone who enjoys nature. The Tree of Enchantment would make a bold interior decorating statement during the fall and winter months reflecting light while hanging in a window and during the spring and summer months by dramatically adding to the beauty of your outdoor decorations. While the piece, by it's nature, is weather resistant it is not advised to hang the orb in a tree. Each ornament measures 6″ in diameter and arrives gift-wrapped.
Get busy welcoming spring to your little corner of the world…either by adding the new Tree of Enchantment Ornamental Glass to your private collection or giving it as a gift for a birthday, for Easter, Mother's Day…or just because!

Hi! Looking for good tree information sites. A great find would be a symptom finder type site.
Was having problems with my cherry tree and amazingly the internet wasn't much help at all. Just bought a Yoshimo cherry tree in March. It's about 3ft tall...nice healthy thick trunk and big green lush leaves.
First the leaves were getting eaten so I bought bug killer for plants. Then they started curling and dropping off.
This is what I've done so far... 1. Pruned all dead and infested growth off...branches and all.
I have not added water today. The soil is moist. Be moist i mean...healthy dry moist how it comes in a bag.
Anyways if anyone has some advice on any of this or a good website link. if you think i did the total wrong thing...or the right thing...let me know and explain. I have very healthy monstrous roses doing very well in containers. but trees are new to me. thanks. |

Paul Smith Black Autumn/Winter 14
For autumn/winter 14, the Paul Smith Black collection draws on the surrealist photography of Man Ray. The collection uses his distorted and manipulated imagery to inform the prints and colours of new pieces, and inspiration also comes in the form of contemporary photographer Maria Robertson. Influenced by Man Ray, her work utilises layering to create stunning, dreamy artworks.
Rich, dark tones redolent of Robertson's work are prevalent across the collection, interspersed with vibrant shades of orange and mustard. Meanwhile, the effect of the doubleexposure technique used by both artists is recalled in the palette of translucent blues, minks and corals. An eye-catching iris motif has been distorted and overlaid with graphic shapes to create a striking print available in monochrome and contrasting-colour versions, while a further print combining this floral with graphic spots is offered on delicate silk seersucker. This design ethos is carried through to structural checks, cleverly overlaid vertical stripes and bold, graphic letter prints in fluid silk and satin devoré.
A Seventies-style rock'n'roll chic inspires the silhouette and fit of the collection, drawing on the fabulous wardrobes of such style icons as Bianca Jagger and Lauren Hutton, and exploring how this effortless sophistication has been carried over into a contemporary look by modern-day celebrities like Charlotte Gainsbourg. A focus on layering and a variety of textures allows a playful approach to constructing outfits, with semi-sheer and prints placed side-by-side, accented with flashes of metallics and velvet and jersey jacquards. Slim-fit tailoring is highlighted with pops of colour, while separates see graphic block-panelling combining print, colour and texture. This glamorous aesthetic continues to outerwear, with impeccably fitted pea coats, trench coats and Teflon-coated parkas with removable sheepskin trims.

Things to Do in Summer
Brad Mitchell/Alamy
Go on a Road Trip
When the urge to travel strikes, hitting the road is the most spontaneous way to get your fix.

How do people structure their payment terms on larger jobs?
I assume its some combination of an upfront payment, progress payments with completion, and something on the back end. Would you progress payment based on completing some of the big elements? What is a fair amount to hold to the end? We are gearing up for the big project ($50K+ range) which will include a retaining wall, fill, a patio, stairs, a flagstone path, and a ton of new plantings (like 1500 sq ft), likely some landscape lighting. Here is the plan which I have posted before in a thread on finding contractors, if anyone is interested. |

I think it is an interesting idea, especially once we have prefixed installs and perl, python, etc. will all have to be compiled before portage will be happy. I have been experimenting with 64-bits as well. I was able to compile a few things like libxml2 using 64-bits, enabling 64-bits applications that use those libraries to link against them and use them. This is great, and once portage supports it, I'd like to have 64-bits versions of zlib, etc. to be able to have true 64-bits application userland. Considering Fink doesn't do this and I've seen many requests for MonetDB using 64-bits on OSX Tiger, I guess some people would be really happy if they just installed a ~50MB Gentoo thinger and then be able to compile and use MonetDB using 64-bits on their Macs... -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo for Mac OS X -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

That's the buried lede in Dale Kasler's Sacramento Bee recounting of the final hours of the auction for bankrupt Tower Records.
As first reported in the media, Great American's bid of $134.3 million for Tower's inventory was a mere $500,000 higher than Trans World's — providing ammunition for the record companies to argue on Trans World's behalf.
But the real gap was about $2.3 million.
That's because Tower's investment banker, Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin, was in line for a higher fee if Tower was sold as a going concern, according to court records.
That tipped the balance clearly in Great American's favor, said the Tower source, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for the company. "In the end, it wasn't that close," he said.
We don't have all the details, but from the way we read this the fee for Houlihan Lokey was structured so that a going concern bidder would have had to beat the next highest bid by almost $2 million. It was hard to imagine anyone buying a bricks-and-motar music store with the intention to run it as a going concern in the age of downloading music. But buying it for more than $2 million more than its liquidation value? Never going to happen. And so Tower Records falls quietly into the ash heap of history.

Eddie Richter
Richter, Eddie (George) Died Monday March 31st, 2014 at the age of 84. Eddie graduated from the
University of Illinois
, then served four years in the Air Force during the
Korean War
. Most people recognize Eddie as the friendly State Farm insurance agent who advertised with his picture in the TV Guide for forty years until his retirement in 1995. His success in insurance came slowly, but lasted, because he never, "sold" anything. Everyone who walked into his office was his friend. He was the nice guy who people trusted because he never let them down. Eddie had been a state champion handball player who loved his Saturdays at the YMCA playing the fiercely fun, highly competitive matches with his friends and then his sons as they became old enough to learn his lessons of the game; most importantly, sportsmanship and the camaraderie of good friends. Eddie also loved, golf, both for the competitive challenge and the time it provided with his peers. Over the years, he was proud of the six holes-in-one he had carded. Eddie is survived by his beloved wife of 61 years, Doris (Nibbe) Richter; sons, Jeffrey Richter, Randall (Susan) Richter and Scott (Katy) Richter; daughter, Rhonda (Rod) Wodd; ten grandchildren and four great-granddaughters. He also leaves the church family of his First Christian Church, where he was an elder and board member, and the Waukegan
Rotary Club
, where he was proud to belong and have been a past president. He'll miss his State Farm family, his handball buddies, golfing pals, and all the storytellers who befriended him in his avocation and joy since retirement. Visitation will be held on Sunday, April 6th at the Memorial Chapel of Waukegan, 1521 Washington Street, Waukegan, beginning at 11:00 a.m. with memorial service to follow at 12:30. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Waukegan Rotary Club, P.O. Box 8728, Waukegan, IL 60079.

The texture of these biscuits is perfect. However, the flavor is not as great as other recipes I've tried. My favorite is from the Lee Brothers Southern Cookbook, which recipe requires both butter and shortening, and not just shortening/lard. Butter in the dough is needed for maximum flavor, in my opinion. I also added sugar. But don't get me wrong, you can't beat this texture.
For a buttermilk substitute, you can add a Tbl. white vinegar or lemon juice to a cup of milk. Let stand for 10 minutes. I combine that with an equal quantity of plain yogurt.
These were a huge dissappointment - they didn't rise, they were tough, and they were salty. I don't know what I did wrong - I sifted my flour, I chilled my lard, and I tried not to over knead... Not worth it.
I live in Italy and I cannot find the buttermilk, but I like the biscuits; how can I substitute it?
I ended up making two batches. 1st one, came out terrible. Over mixed w/food processor. Plus it was a very dry dough. 2nd time, I left out a cup of flour, was still a bit dry and mixed by hand. They came out better but not like I was hoping. I will probably not make these again. I also used less salt (my mom made these and she said they were salty)
I just made this recipe to go with honey baked ham for Easter. I love southern food...who doesn't? So naturally I was excited when I found this section on Edna Lewis and Mr. Peacock in Gourmet. I'm not a novice baker, but I am new to crust and biscuits. I was a little weary of trying this recipe. I used white lily flour and fresh, cold lard. What I got was a very tasty, biscuit that was moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The only disappoinment I had was with the height of the biscuits. They didn't rise that much from the shape they were in when I cut them out. They weren't tough, so I don't know where I went wrong. Maybe they were too close together. I will keep this recipe, and practice.
Used all the exact ingredients, came out soft with a wonderful texture. But I was worried about the oven at 500 degrees, I had to take them out a little early. Huge contrast on the browned parts and the tender white textures. I am always scared when working with dough in this form, so I would have like a little better instructions than "add lard", in one whole piece? But they came out good.
These are the perfect biscuits. For anyone who is not a southerner or not used to making biscuits, the more you handle the dough, the tougher the biscuits. Sift before measuring as instructed, you can substitute shortening for the lard, and barely mix the dough, a few turns is it, look at them too long and they get tough, rock hard, etc...just barely mix.
I too had high hopes for this recipe. When I read it I thought that it called for a lot of flour, I thought it was just my inexperience with biscuits. The result was dry,hard,heavy biscuits. I would love to know where I went wrong. I used fresh lard as instructed.
My southern grandmother died before I knew her, but her sister, my great-Aunt Lydia who lived 102 years, made every southern food imaginable. I loved them all. She just wasn't famous like Edna Lewis. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian, so there's no lard in my kitchen, but unsalted butter worked just fine. I knew when I rolled out the dough that they'd be good; it looked and felt like Aunt Lydia's dough. Mine didn't rise as high as the ones in the photo, but they were still light, flaky and wonderful.

Varian Wrynn is Right {WoW}
Apr 26th 2009 4:27PM I love Varian. I think the fact that he's acting in a very realistic manner and has reasonable issues with the Horde make him a very neat character. And don't get me wrong, I like the Horde a lot, they have very interesting characters. But I play Alliance and I can totally get behind Varian.
My favorite race in the game is the Undead, but even I know better than to try and play it off like they aren't malicious and evil. The entire setup for the Forsaken is that they are aligned with the Horde, until it suits their best interests. Here's a bit of color from the WoWWiki page on the Forsaken:
"The Forsaken made allies of the Horde out of necessity and convenience. They have no love for orcs, tauren or any other living creature, but they need time to strike against the Scourge and allies to help them do it. The Forsaken claim that they joined the Horde to prove their desire to leave their evil ways behind, but no one really believes this. The Horde accepts the Forsaken's help, as they do indeed have a common enemy: the Scourge. The Horde is leery of the Forsaken's tactics, however, and keeps watchful eyes on them. This caution is justified. "
And that is what is running unchecked through the horde, alongside the Garrosh-types who harbor nothing but bloodlust for the human race.
It's easy to get the motivation for Varian. If some invading force showed up and killed my father, then my uncle when I went to live with him, then ambushed me at a peace summit, then killed my best friend and my son's godfather? Anyone who labels that as "emo" needs a reality check. Varian is TOTALLY in the right to feel the way he does.
Neutral Auction houses (and putting them in Northrend) {WoW}

Sullivan: And you have to try new things. The best thing about making video games is you get a chance to literally create something from nothing. We're only as good as the ideas we have and what we can translate into software. It's our job as game creators to bring new experiences into people's living rooms, and have them do something that makes them say "wow, I didn't a video game could be this, or I could do this in a game".
So, we push as hard as anybody else. There's stuff that we don't ship because we think either it's too far ahead or we don't understand how to make the best of the idea, but we're always trying to push. And other teams do that. Blackbox tried it, and you've got to applaud people for trying. I would rather have someone try and do something new than just do something that's just dull.
Webster: There's loads of people that just want us to make Burnout 2 again. Again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
Sullivan: Or Burnout 1, or Burnout 3, or Black 2 or Burnout Paradise 2.
I think EA isn't praised enough for its willingness to experiment with Need for Speed. There was that period a few years ago where you had Nitro on the Wii, you had Slightly Mad's Shift, and you had Hot Pursuit - completely different trajectories, coexisting within a single franchise. Are we entering a consolidation period now, where you focus on the most successful approach?
Webster: Who knows? I mean at any point in time you can only focus on what you're making at that point in time. We're choosing the direction for Need for Speed right now and the one that we're doing is this one. Who knows where it goes next?
Sullivan: We just try to make games that are fun, that put a smile on your face. It just so happens that at the moment Need for Speed is getting that treatment, so it's kind of just where we're at. Everybody asks us when we're working on a Need for Speed game, "when are you doing a Burnout game?" Or if we make a Burnout game everybody will be asking "when are you doing another Need for Speed game?" The good thing is that it seems people have faith in us. If it's got the Criterion label on the box then they think it's going to be good fun, which means that we're doing our jobs right. Hopefully that will continue!
Is the future pretty open right now, then? Or are you committed to Need for Speed for the moment?
Sullivan: We've got lots of ideas and there are people we're working with. Do we know exactly what we're going to do next? No. Have we got lots of ideas about what we could do next? Yes. We're doing this year's Need for Speed, we haven't got long to go, we're getting a good reaction from the people who play it, so we seem to be heading in the right direction, pushing the envelope and trying new stuff. We're looking at the finish line now and trying to make this game as good as it possibly can be in the time we have left.
Before you settled on Most Wanted, did you consider remaking any of the other classic Need for Speeds? Pro Street? Underground?
Sullivan: The same ones keep coming up! When we finished Burnout Paradise we did a year of updates - nine updates to the game where we dramatically changed what that software was, and while we were doing that we got the Need for Speed gig, and it was an easy conversation for us to sit down and say: "right, which Need for Speeds do we really love?" Not which ones are most successful, or which ones could sell the most if we did another one - it's which ones do we love. And it was obvious, it was Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit.
So we looked at Hot Pursuit and we thought, "if we did Hot Pursuit we could really go to town on this Cops versus Racers gameplay", and give you epic drives in insanely fast, beautiful cars through amazing environments. And we had just done an open world driving game, Burnout Paradise, and if we did Most Wanted that would have to be another open world game, so we chose to do Hot Pursuit first.

Only three months after director Peter Farrelly announced that the sequel of the popular (for some reason) 1994's comedy is to be shot with both the original stars, Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels, returning for their roles, we have Jim Carey leaving. A bit odd, knowing that he was probably the 'happiest of them all' about it.
"According to sources, Carrey grew increasingly frustrated by New Line and Warner Brothers, who he felt showed a lack of enthusiasm regarding the project," said the Entertainment Tonight.
They reached out to Carrey's publicist, who provided this quote from the actor:
"I would have thought Dumb and Dumber Two was a no-brainer, after all it's implied in the title."
Their sources also say that there was constant frustration for the actor caused by New Line and Warner Bros, but don't be disappointed too much, because he will return to the big screens with next year's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone.
Any thoughts?

I graduated 42 years ago in 1969. It doesn't seem possible it could be that long ago. I never imagined I would be one of those old men with hair growing from my ears. I thought it was disgusting when I was a teenager. Now, it's just a nuisance.
I remember a class discussion one time when we questioned if we would live 31 more years to see the next century. There were just so many things that could happen. Vietnam was right there front and center. But, there were other dangers ahead. Drugs, alcohol and muscle cars from Detroit had taken the lives of two kids during high school.
Then there was time itself. We knew if we survived the next 31 years until the next century, we'd all be somewhere between the ages of 48 and 50.
One kid would have been younger than 48 and another would have been older than 50. The younger one was the son of a retired Air Force colonel. When they moved back home, he should have been in the eighth grade. However, his friends were sophomores, so he just started going to class with us. The oldest was a man in his mid-20s named Skipper. I don't know who his parents were. None of us knew exactly how old he was and we didn't know his real name. I don't know if he was given a diploma.
In today's terms, Skipper would have been classified as learning challenged. There was a time when he would have been classified as mentally handicapped, but in 1969, Skipper was "retarded."
I seem to remember his parents moving to Oklahoma from Texas so he could be placed in a regular classroom. It was unfortunate to have been placed in a class of geniuses.
He was treated badly and it's probably about time I apologized to Skipper. I don't remember teasing Skipper or making fun of him, but I don't remember doing anything to stop others.
There were 18 kids in my graduating class. The whole town had a population of about 400 people. The father of one of my classmates was the school janitor. Later, he was hired as the town constable because the only time there was any trouble was at a basketball game. He was hired as janitor at a time when the school needed an influx of children or else face closure by the state. Buddy and his wife had a lot of kids. He was hired. The school was saved. He was our hero.
Raising all those kids made him eminently qualified to serve as constable — that and the fact that he used to wrestle bears in Florida. Not only did he and his wife help save the school, but he cleaned up the town.
One of his sons and I were best friends. We'd been through a lot together, including our freshman year when we partnered together to raise a pig as an FFA project. Back then, FFA stood for Future Farmers of America. That was at a time when girls took home economics and boys took shop class.
I wish now I had taken typing class and learned shorthand, but those were girl classes. I'm sure the teenage David Davis would have been revolted by the thought of the old David Davis injecting himself with female hormone to lose weight.
Anyway, the janitor's son and I went to Stillwater, Okla., with our agriculture adviser and bought a 7- or 8-week-old Hampshire gilt. We named her for, but not in honor of, a girl neither of us liked.
The pig was a good pig and for that matter, the pig's namesake was a good girl, but for some reason we just didn't like her. The pig had good markings, a gentle nature and nice stature and in truth, the girl had those same good qualities. The pig placed seventh at the county fair and would have done better had she not lain down in the show ring. The girl won the Fairest of the Fair title that year.
I thought the friendship the janitor's son and I had developed would last forever, but it last only until he started using drugs. I don't know if he survived or not. I hope he did.

I reformatted my computer a few months ago.
It was running perfectly fine before reformatting and was only done so to change hard drives.
Now that I reformatted, I get MULTIPLE fatal errors daily within Revit MEP 2012, AutoCad MEP 2012, and Revit MEP 2013.
In addition, I get blue screens usually every day. More info on this thread can be found here:
I've been told it's AutoDesk causing the problems and I'm pretty convinced it is.
I don't know what to do next. I've un-installed revit three times now and it's not fixed.
Any ideas?
from Gerry's reply on February 28th stating, "WSCommCntr3.exe = Autodesk is causing many problems."
The only thing that has changed in my computer is the SSD went to a HDD.
This is still an issue. It's gotten to the point where I can't even open a view in Revit without it fatal erroring out.
Can anyone help?
bumping this up. i just reformatted again yesterday morning, and today i have had 3 fatal errors.
did you figure out whats causing the blue screens and fix it?
it could be to tied to why revit is erroring out
I am not getting blue screens anymore.
I am still getting fatal errors, and already had another one since my reply earlier today.
I'm sorry that you're still seeing fatal errors. I have a few questions for you about the behavior on the Revit side:
The error occurs in Revit 2012 almost 3-4 times per day.
Revit 2013 is maybe once per day.
Autocad is around twice per week.
There is no reproducible action that causes this crash. It's very random.
I submit error reports to autodesk on every single fatal error.
I have done clean installs because I've reformatted my computer twice now.
Thanks for the update. What was the graphics card and driver on the machine?
Are you working with Hardware Acceleration enabled? Can you try disabling it to see if there is a difference?
I am going through your error reports - thank you for adding the notes in them. It looks like a lot of the problems happening opening/closing/saving. I'm wondering if some of the behavior is file-specific. Have you been working in a particular set of projects where this is happening?
