"These are easy and taste great. We've been making them for years in our family with a little twist. Just use the Devil's food with the egg and oil--no chips. When done baking press an Andes mint into the center (like a thumb-print cookie) let it melt a little and swirl it with a tooth pick. Yum! Chocolate mint cookies!"

I want my MakeFive Tee Vee…
A couple of weeks back, it struck me that a little podcast might be a nice way to better connect all of us. So, Eric Shelkie and I met down over a REALLY strong espresso at Caffè Artigiano and I frothed at the mouth about the idea. (I do this a lot.) Later that week, we coerced Devin into bringing in his video-camera, and we started to cobble something together.
And here it is: the first MakeFive.tv podcast. It's not quite as good as "Entourage" or "My Name is Earl", but we think it has the potential to be sort of fun. In it we'll give you a behind-the-scenes look at what we're working on; we'll get out on the street and talk to people about their top fives; and, we'll be featuring your topics and contributions. So, add interesting stuff! We'll start featuring the best topics in upcoming editions.
We'll try to upload something new every couple of weeks, and if you have ideas on what you'd like to see, or questions you'd like to answer on the show, please make note of them here. As with everything at MakeFive, it's about your community. Bookmark this: www.makefive.tv
In addition feel free to download the podcast file for your iPhone or iPod.

I am working on a project to turn a small hill in my back yard into a pad for a hot tub. The hill has a retaining wall around it in a half moon shape and on the back of the hill is my/neighbors fence. I had to remove an old hackberry tree and now I'm leveling the hill (dirt work is tough on an old guy)to accommodate the hot tub.
One of my challenges is that the neighbors yard that comes down to the fence has some grade to it. Unfortunately this part of the neighborhood development wasnt thought out too well as I am downgrade from his yard with no drainage designed to carry away rain water. Because I have excavated a little I want to erect a small wall, I suppose you would call it a retaining wall even though it will mostly be in-ground. I'm going to pour a footer with rebar and then put haydite block on the footer to try to keep erosion under control. The block will be mostly above ground. This will be located next to the fence on my side to keep his yard from washing into mine. Does this make sense? Anmd yes I know that a french drain is needed but there is no good way to get that accomplished. So, any thoughts? |

Just a little bit of moving water can move cars and houses. The pressure of the earth and water will make quick disastrous work of this "wall" unless it is constructed with proper drainage. Do you really want to see all of your hard work washed down the hill? You need an engineer involved to design the project even if you DIY the labor. And ALL retaining walls need some form of drainage, even if they are just short ones. |
Check local rules vary carefully. There is often a maximum height for any retaining wall that is not engineered. The limits are often around 24 inches. If the wall is low enough to not require engineering you just need to know how to provide drainage and make sure the wall will stand. |
Thanks for the replies. I find it humorous that while doing this project I have sought the input of others on various DIY forums and so far the advice has been to hire an engineer and hire an electrician. DIY indeed. I'll forge ahead anyways Thanks for taking the time to stop and look and/or leave a comment. |

The only way to understand Orthodoxy is to experience it.
You can join online CLICK HERE
If you think that the British Orthodox Fellowship is a great idea, then why not tell a friend. Fill in this form and we'll send a short message.
The British Orthodox Fellowship
The British Orthodox Church has been approached by a growing number of enquirers over the past few years, and it has been plain that a new way of allowing people to discover Orthodoxy was urgently needed.
The British Orthodox Fellowship is the answer to that need. It is a dispersed community of friends, enquirers and members of the British Orthodox Church, who are united in their desire to discover how the Orthodox Faith can help them develop and deepen their Christian life.
Anyone with a genuine interest in Orthodoxy can join the British Orthodox Fellowship. There is no membership charge but members are encouraged to benefit from ordering and using our British Orthodox Fellowship Handbook, filled with prayers, readings and useful suggestions for developing the spiritual life.
The Fellowship also produces a twice yearly magazine, and members are invited to join us at an annual weekend conference and our annual pilgrimage to one of the holy places of the British Isles.
The British Orthodox Fellowship is a means of allowing ordinary British people to experience the faith and spirituality of the British Orthodox Church while they remain members of their own Christian tradition, or even are investigating the Christian Faith for the first time.
The British Orthodox Fellowship is a ministry of the British Orthodox Church. We are committed to helping British people find out more about our Faith in whatever ways are most appropriate for their own circumstances.
Our bishop, Metropolitan Seraphim, is the Patron of the British Orthodox Fellowship, and the priests and clergy are Pastoral Officers, willing and able to provide support and guidance to Fellowship members when requested.
We hope that you will take this opportunity of joining the British Orthodox Fellowship and exploring the Orthodox Faith with us.
Over the past year we have extended our membership which now includes bishops, priests, pastors and lay people from a wide variety of Christian backgrounds.
We have also been able to organise a number of events to which Fellowship members and friends have been invited. These have included special liturgies, study evenings, a study day and a work day.
Through the coming year we hope to organise many such similar events, and also develop the British Orthodox Fellowship in new parts of the country and among an even wider community of Christian members.
How can you join?
The Fellowship has recently compiled a prayer book for use in group situations, as well as by individuals. This volume contains Orthodox prayers for Morning, Midday, Afternoon and Evening and is ideal as the basis of a regular Fellowship prayer group. It is available, with our other Fellowship publications, from our publishers website.
The British Orthodox Fellowship is open to anyone who has a genuine desire to discover more about our British Orthodox Faith and Life.
All that we ask of a member is that they pray for the work of the British Orthodox Fellowship, for all of the other members, and for a growth in the understanding and experience of the Orthodox Faith in the British Isles.
We hope that you will want to take up some of the opportunities the British Orthodox Fellowship provides to experience Orthodox Christianity, but we do not demand it. We appreciate that each of us have different circumstances, and are on a unique spiritual pilgrimage.
To apply to join the British Orthodox Fellowship you need to complete the Fellowship JOIN ONLINE. The details you provide will remain confidential and your contact details will not be shared with any other organisation.
We will also send you advance details of any events being planned in your area, as well as information about the annual British Orthodox Fellowship Conference and the annual British Orthodox Pilgrimage.
We hope that you will take up this offer of joining with us in the British Orthodox Fellowship and exploring the Orthodox Faith.
If you have any questions about the Fellowship please contact firstname.lastname@example.com
Our objective in the coming 12 months is to help new groups of Fellowship members begin to pray together on a regular basis – using the Orthodox prayer services in our various publications.
It is only possible to become more Orthodox by being more Orthodox, learning in practice and experience from the Orthodox spiritual tradition.
Do contact us if you would like to help organise such a group of praying people. They can be members of your own congregation, friends and family, people from your area. Wherever there is a group of people interested in learning about Orthodoxy we hope that we will be able to help.
We are also working to increase the numbers of members and you can help us by encouraging your own friends and contacts to join up with you.

Mindfulness in the Kitchen – an Everyday Challenge
Welcome to the March Mindful Mama Carnival: Mindful Mama Challenge
This post was written for inclusion in the Mindful Mama Carnival hosted by Becoming Crunchy and TouchstoneZ. This month our participants have challenges they've set for themselves toward becoming more mindful. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
Over the past few months as I've had this carnival in mind, I've been challenging myself to become more mindful in everyday, 'monotonous' tasks – things like cleaning, putting the little one to bed – even laundry – but most of all, in my cooking.
Cooking is something I've always enjoyed but over the past year as I've become both more busy than I've ever been and more aware of the importance of consuming real, healthy food, the act of cooking itself has become something of an obsession for me – and not always in a good way.
I have begun to develop very high ideals that frequently crash with the reality of a background of fake food and rushed dinners – all too often it just leaves me feeling disappointed and unhappy with myself when I fail.
And yet the joy of providing a truly healthy, nutrient and colour filled meal for my family is just…indescribable. It leaves me feeling so fulfilled and at peace…sometimes for days when I get on a good roll – sometimes just until the next meal.
It may seem strange to talk so of food, but in all my journey of becoming more healthful, mindful and respectful of the environment around me and the resources I consume, food has been and continues to be absolutely the biggest challenge.
This awareness of what I am doing when I provide a meal for my family began when Bean was tiny. When I made her bottles, some pride and joy just welled up in me. I would think on some level, "I am caring in one of the most basic and important ways for the dearest person to me on this earth by providing her good, safe and clean food to eat." (I'm sure breastfeeding moms have felt similarly, if not more so)
I began, slowly but surely, to learn more and more, and to develop what I like to think of as my own personal food philosophy. I won't go into all that here, but to repeat that it's been at times an extremely frustrating journey. My personal mindfulness challenge in the everyday act of cooking has taken me several long steps along the path toward the goal I have in mind.
In The Organic Family Cookbook, Anni Daulter shares:
I learned how to cook at a Zen Buddhist community called Tassajara, in Carmel Valley, CA. They taught me the art of conscious community cooking, where each of us was responsible for one ingredient, and we had to put our full love and attention to it, whether it was chopping tomatoes, picking over lettuce leaves, baking, or cooking rice. That's because it's all sacred, every job. Bringing our presence and full awareness to our cooking and allowing our children to have special jobs in the kitchen ends up creating a community meal that is filled with love and tastes great. I have found that this lesson also translates to other aspects of our lives. The more we practice living in the moment, the more we appreciate each one.
Though it's a bit of a different twist, the book Like Water for Chocolate puts me in a similar mindset.
What both of these express in better words than I could is the importance of consciousness and mindfulness in the kitchen. There are 4 areas in particular in which I've been challenging myself to this ideal:
- Purchasing. I've become much more conscious of the things I will buy – asking myself what effect my purchases will end up having, for good or ill, not only on my own body but on the world surrounding me. I've come to see and understand the power of my dollar and what it means to people, plants, animals and ecosystems. Buying organic, boycotting Nestle, looking for local, rejecting waste in extra packaging and plastic. I am FAR from perfect in all of these areas, but the more I learn the more I do challenge myself to ask those questions and consider the consequences.
- Preparation. This is the fun one for me. As much as I do enjoy cooking, it can totally suck at times to contemplate the idea of coming home (super hungry) after a long day at work and turning on the stove. What helps me the most is to really and truly pour love into the process. I admire the ingredients and consider what went into their making. I make what are (to me) amazing combinations that I am proud to serve up to my husband and daughter (and that doesn't necessarily mean elaborate!). I chop and grind and saute and bake with attention and care and thought into how I can make the food taste its absolute best. Again, there's no perfection here – but the more I think of cooking this way, the easier it becomes.
- Consumption. This is an area that, to my mind, we are are not doing our best in. My dream is of course the family table, with everyone sitting down together over conversation and great food. The reality is more like me on the couch feeding the little one from my plate (as she increasingly demands more, faster) with the husband at his computer desk looking at basketball stats. Oh – and our beautiful kitchen table? Absolutely covered with crap! We couldn't eat there if we wanted to… At the moment, I try to do my best to simply appreciate the food, and remain in discussion over how we actually eat it. I do think we'll get there eventually.
- Clean Up. This, of course, is the least fun aspect for me. But as we've transitioned to things like no paper plates (thus plates need to be washed often), no paper towels (have to make sure the rag bag is stocked!), cast iron skillets (have to be washed by hand and are used for almost every meal it seems), I find it's definitely something I have to be mindful of! And there is pride in it as well – we've come a long way. In the end, I can remind myself how very valuable and worth it is to be able to practice these things.
There are other areas I think on - involving my family more in the entire process, finding creative recipes and new food experiences, growing my own food, etc., etc. Really, it's quite a fertile ground for moving into deeper appreciation, consciousness and love in everyday living.
Ultimately, it's been a blessing of a challenge – and something I will continue to strive for – even on the all too frequent days we head through the drive through or call for delivery.
I'm thankful I have the opportunity to learn and grow so much in spite of it all.

Oh wow – I really love the spin on bringing kids into the kitchen by talking about lovingly preparing the food. I think I will try that with Kieran – and maybe it can help me be more mindful in the kitchen as well!!
LOVE that quote from Anni Daulter. Unfortunately the reality of preparing food as a mama is often the opposite of mindfulness. I tend to do it in the early afternoon when my energy and focus are higher and I'm not being nagged by hungry, tired children.
Love the way you have broken it down into 4 stages – makes it all seem more… manageable!
Lucy@Dreaming Aloud recently posted..Mindful mama moon time -
This is an area of struggle for me, I must confess. I get really, really TIRED of thinking about FOOD! I wish it would just make itself so I can get on with other things. I am working at coming to peace with my obsession with healthy food and making everything homemade: it is infringing on the rest of my life! LOL!
Thank you for your thoughtful reflections on this topic.
Patti @ Canadian Unschooler recently posted..Watch Your Words -
Ahhhhhh yes! I relate completely. Being a real foodie with some major dietary limitations can make cooking less of a joy and more of a dreaded chore. I LOOOOVE food. I LOOOOVE creating in the kitchen. I LOOOOOOVE eating. But cooking stresses me out.
I do not want my daughter to grow up seeing this. I want her to love cooking. I want her to do it with love. I grew up seeing this. My father treats cooking like Michaelangelo treated the Sistine Chapel. Seriously. It is actually beautiful to watch my father cook. I long for this and as I get more and more entrenched in the real foods lifestyle, the art of cooking will come.
Wonderful, wonderful post.
Jennifer at Hybrid Rasta Mama recently posted..The Importance of a Moment -
As much as I value mindfulness, and as much as I love to prepare wholesome meals for my family, I have never thought much about how I can bring mindfulness as a practice and my preparation of our meals together. I put thought into what we buy, of course, but when it comes to cooking, I'm often just trying to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible. How much more enjoyable would it be if I would just chill out and *enjoy*? Thanks for inspiring me to think more about this!
Melissa recently posted..Culinary Wanderings #3 -
Kelly, I can relate! In our journey with food it quickly turned into more of an obsession, something to control, which feels *so* yucky. The focus on loving every step can really help us slow down and appreciate what we have, how it nourishes our bodies, loving all of the choices we make, and celebrating food for what it is in the human experience. Thank you for sharing… much love to you and yours.
Amy recently posted..Waking up with Meditation -
I really like that Anni Daulter quote. I love the idea of children having a special job and living in the moment. Some of my favorite times with my 3 year old are when we are cooking together in the kitchen. Our mainstream society seems to have such a disfunctional relationship with food, the idea of being mindful in teh kitchen and preparing food with love as a sacred act is a beautiful idea.
Shana recently posted..Speaking to the Need -
I really appreciate your post. This is something I've been thinking a lot about lately too. You added some things for me to incorporate as well and I look forward to getting started.
Especially now as I'm taking us off of gluten and way off sugar… Finally really letting go of most of the processed things.
Preparation is a big one for me and I love your way of talking about it.
Dishes… well, I can get pretty zen about them, but only if I'm not too tired. Then I'm just a snarly, growly grumpus.
I'll keep aiming though.

This is what I strive to do day in and day out. I used to find the daily chores to be absolute drudgery. Then, I went on a retreat and an ashram. Every day, we were expected to do "karma yoga" which are chores. Again, I hated the cooking and cleaning. I resented the mess other people made. I felt under appreciated and thought some of the people were inconsiderate about cleaning up after themselves a bit. Most of all, I hated getting dirty and sweaty when the showers were low-pressure with 5 minute timers.
But, I listened to those wise Yogis running the ashram when we met for daily mindfulness practices. They never spoke about anything related directly to the work at the ashram, but more about contentment and cultivating peacefulness. And the lessons seeped in to my resistant mind. I could choose to be miserable. I could even choose to opt out of karma yoga, if I wished. But, I began to see it as service that was an act of compassion to myself and the people around me. I didn't need to be appreciated or acknowledged for it (although, that's nice, of course) but I needed to accept my resistance and love myself anyway. Every swipe of the brush, every scrub of the cloth became a meditation in whether I could love myself ANYWAY.
So this is how I view my role in the neverending laundrydishespickingupwipingbuttsandnoses. It's not suffering in silence. I ask for acknowledgement when I need it. I skip doing the tasks entirely, if I can't get to the space of mindfulness. But, it is act of love for myself and for my family.
And sometimes, when things are really hard; patience has left the building; I've got nothing left to give, scrubbing a toilet is a finite piece of control, of proof that I can still DO.
And I have, very obviously, avoided talk about food here. It's a big, sticky spot for me right now with the morning sickness and weird cravings. I'm not ok with the convenience foods we've been relying on. But, I'll find the self-compassion for that at some point (and I'll revisit your post about then, too
As always, I am grateful for our bloggy friendship. You saved my behind this carnival. I am not sure how to express my gratitude, except to send you a hug that I'll hold for an inappropriate long time. And personally, thank you for being an example of a mindful mama for me.
Zoie @ TouchstoneZ recently posted..Mindful Meditations -
I'm in much the same boat trying to bring mindfulness and love to food preparation. It used to be, before kids, that my husband and I would pour a couple of beers and help each other cook our evening meal. It was a great way to reconnect and really enhanced our experience of our meal.
As our family has grown, more and more meal prep involves me working around dirty dishes and bulk foods that won't yet fit into our canisters, trying not to kill myself on the trucks and stuffed animals and wooden puzzle pieces my son has brought into the kitchen, being told (by my daughter) obscure facts about the reproductive cycle of the pine martin, and listening to Frog and Toad or Curious George audiobooks so often I could recite them by heart. All of this with the time pressure of getting dinner done after my husband gets home from work but before the kids implode from hunger and exhaustion. Sucks the joy out of the process, for sure.
Bringing mindfulness and love to the process of nourishing our loved ones as you describe here can, I think, infuse a little more joy and—if we're lucky—calm.

Love the idea of bringing kids into the kitchen and making them love to prepare and cook food. I usually try with vatsal – my son to help me in the kitchen with the little stuff which he can do. He usually loves to do it.

Mihir's Raw Food Round II.... I'm making a come back!
Hey everyone, this Mihir Kothari from the WLIR Squad and this is my Raw food Round Two post! If you don't want to read the full summary here is the short version.
Short version: I was overweight and sick. I moved in with Dhrumil during my college years and started eating raw. I felt great and transformed my life, but I didn't stick with the rawness. I've since gained back the weight, but I hate it and am ready for change. I'm starting by sharing my story today. Raw Food Round 2!
Full story: During my freshmen year in college (Aug 2001) I was roommates with WLIR editor Dhrumil Purohit. At the start of college I was a non-vegetarian that had many healthy issues that effected me on a daily basis. I was overweight, had acne, terrible asthma and heavy grass allergies. After living like this for years, I was committed to change! It just so happened that my eagerness to change was matched with right knowledge it would take to produce change....thank to my health mentors Nature Love and Dhrumil Purohit.
After one month of living with Dhrumil my world had been turned upside down. I turned completely Veg-Raw from non-vegetarian at the skip of a beat. 4 Months into my change I had lost around 65 pounds. With this change, my life had finally taken a turn for the better!
I looked good, felt great, and my confidence was sky high! I felt as though I was untouchable. I had become the complete opposite of what I was before. Not only had I lost weight, but I had reversed my asthma, cleared my face and had no grass allergies anymore.
At the start of my sophomore year in college, I moved home and started eating a diet heavy in cooked foods again. Now, 8 months after graduation, I have gained weight again approximately 40 pounds in total since I had lost all the weight initially. Not only have I gained weight, but I break out more often, and my asthma is back.
1 Week ago I vowed to begin eating healthier (at least 1 raw meal a day). I have already lost approximately 6 pounds, and am starting to feel better. The goal for the next 82 days is to lose another 30 pounds.
The difference in approach between the first time and this attempt is significant. Previously, it was to just lose weight and look great. I thought I had to go completely raw to do that. However, I personally didn't feel that 100% raw was the most sustainable thing for me and my lifestyle. I felt deprived of certain foods I enjoyed and I also felt a little too slim. I'm also planning on spending more time on the education end. When I first started eating raw I didn't read and educated myself as to why this particular way of interacting with food worked. This time around, with the support of my buddies at WLIR, I plan on getting educated so that my lifestyle is backed with a solid foundation.
I can eat health consciously, by eating at least one raw meal a day. I love to eat, and this way I have the best of both worlds and can maintain balance in my life by cleansing regularly. Eating 60% to 80% raw (even thought I hate talking about percentages) is much better than eating 0%. This somewhat goes along with the saying of "The worst piece of fruit is better than the best piece of meat!"
Ask me again in 30 days where I stand in terms of my goal of losing weight and feeling great!

Land Use and Sustainable Development Law Conference
Transitioning Communities
The Land Use Law Center is pleased to announce the theme of its 2014 Land Use and Sustainable Development Conference - Transitioning Communities. The Conference will discuss topics and challenges that municipalities in the region are being faced with, such as the changing demographic pattern, changing community needs, the impact of a shrinking or growing pattern of development, and transitions between community environments - the suburban/rural-urban interface. The Conference will also highlight how communities are transitioning towards sustainability, disaster recovery, and revitalization. We will aim our sessions at addressing the needs of communities already in transition, as well as the idea of how to proactively transition communities toward something new. We invite you to spend the day at this educational event, with more than 250 attorneys, business professionals, and local leaders in attendance to learn about national, regional, and local innovations, challenges, and best practices.
There are several interesting sessions on the schedule, and we recently confirmed that Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP, NYC Parks Commissioner; Past President, American Planning Association; Former Raleigh Chief Planning Officer; and City Innovator and Kaid Benfield, Special Counsel for Urban Solutions, Natural Resources Defense Council, will be our keynote speakers.
Conference participants can earn CLE, APA-CM, and New York State planning and zoning training credits.
We hope you can join us for this day-long event scheduled for December 5, 2014 at Pace Law School in the NYS Judicial Institute building.

At the request of the applicant, the Planning Commission deferred a request last week from Shoosmith Bros. Inc., which has asked the county to lift three conditions placed on its operations during the landfill's 1997 expansion.
The landfill, which is located just off Iron Bridge and Lewis Roads, was started in 1976 and permitted for 200 acres of the 600-acre site. In 1997, Shoosmith asked to add 200 acres to the landfill and made 24 proffers during that application and approval process.
The company is seeking changes to three of those proffers to allow: the acceptance of out-of-state trash in the new section of the landfill; landfill and quarrying operations in the quarry at the same time; and the addition of more waste to an area of the landfill that has been capped.
In March, the Planning Commission voted to defer Shoosmith's request and a public hearing on the matter to its May 18 public hearing. At that time, Planning Director Kirk Turner said staff had recommended that the item be deferred for 60 days.
At last week's meeting, Brennan Keene, an attorney representing Shoosmith, said, "We are resolving some final issues with the county administration with regard to this proposal."
Clover Hill District Commissioner Russell J. Gulley said he wanted "a couple pieces of data" before the June meeting, including where in the country landfill operations are occurring within active quarries. He said he hasn't seen data showing that the liner in the landfill area won't be impacted by blasting in other areas of the quarry. The commission deferred the request to its June 15 meeting.
Also at last week's meeting, the commission approved a request from J.H. Martin & Sons Contractors, Inc. that 51.7 acres be rezoned from agricultural and general industrial to general business zoning. The property is located on the east line of Interstate 95, about 3,200 feet south of the Ruffin Mill interchange, according to a staff report on the request.
Planning and Special Projects Manager Robert Clay said the planning staff recommended denial of the request because the proposed zoning and land use don't conform to the Consolidated Eastern Area Plan and aren't representative of and compatible with existing and anticipated area development.
Jim Theobald, speaking on behalf of the applicant, said the site in question is actually part of a larger piece of property, the rest of which is impacted by "environmental characteristics." The property is "certainly in an area with a mix of commercial and industrial uses," he said.
"This is an opportunity to get the best of both worlds," he said. "If you can't do commercial and industrial development here, I'm not sure where you can."
Theobald said he thought the request was consistent with development in that area. The proposed project will increase the county's tax base, and the developer has received a letter from the county's economic development department enthusiastically supporting the proposal, he said.
As one comes in via Ruffin Hill Road, Bermuda District Commissioner Sam Hassen said, there's a gas station on the left and three car dealerships on the right. Given the existence of some environmentally sensitive areas, "I find the commercial use less obtrusive," he said. He noted that the proposed zoning allowed for some industrial uses, too.

My matrix is my brush. Printmaking matrices (blocks, stones, plates, and screens) are complex tools. However, the essential purposes of these tools are to acquire and hold pigmented materials and to apply them to substrates (e.g., paper). Thus, these tools are exactly equivalent to brushes, pens, and pencils, which are also graphic tools used to acquire and hold various pigments and apply them to canvas, paper, etc.
Between dot and not
In making a pen and ink drawing there are choices between putting solid marks on the paper or leaving the paper completely clear, i.e., the artist can scumble, cross-hatch, and stipple. These are essentially half-toning techniques to get "grey" values between pure pigment and pure paper. Current technologies bring new precision, speed, and opportunities to the very similar role of the half-tone in hand-pulled printmaking. Half-tones not only carry tonal changes in printed images but also, when apparent, are intrinsically interesting repeated forms and expose the printmaking process to the viewer.
Repetition, repetition, repetition
Repetition, critical to composition, is a primary strength of printmaking. If you want to repeat textures, patterns, and imagery in precise and timely ways, then you want to be printing. New technologies allow for precision and speed in printing while still retaining the major advantages of the handpulled print.
There and here, then and now, and metaphors
My screenprinted images refer to other printmaking methods (e.g., textiles, woodblock), earlier times, and other cultural contexts (e.g., Japanese ukiyo e, Renaissance, and Pop Art). Now, traditional printmaking combined with new technologies can efficiently and precisely employ traditional and custom half-tones, textures, tessellations, patterns, and unique, flat, complex, or "exploded" colors. Visually apparent half-tones in my prints (i.e., dots, lines, and custom shapes) are also metaphors for commercial printmaking, for current culture, and for new technology.
All colors all the time; any color any time
The main advantage for me in handpulled printing is total control over color and inks. Commercial printing inks (i.e., process cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) do not give sufficient choice and control to printmakers who are focused on pure, flat, non-simulated colors, on color itself, on modifying ink characteristics, and on using alternative printmaking materials (e.g., metallics).

on June 03, 2013 Source: Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship
When it comes to supporting entrepreneurs and small business owners in the U.S., local government and ecosystem players get the nod over those at the state or national level. And while they are largely an optimistic bunch about their prospects for growth in the coming year, they worry about sustaining their success.
This information comes from a new white paper from Dell and Intel, "Understanding the State of Local Startups and Small Businesses."
Within the past few months, Dell wrapped up a series of listening sessions to connect with entrepreneurs and small business owners to explore how they plan to grow and the resources they need to do it. The "think tank" tour kicked off in Miami and Atlanta in June 2012 and made its way through Silicon Valley, Chicago, Southern California, Austin, Philadelphia, Seattle and Boston.
Business owners in Austin were most positive about the level of support from their state government (61%) and local government (66%) while those in the Bay Area were most skeptical of government support at all levels – local (40%), state (25%) and national (23%).
Key recommendations for policymakers include:

Mobile Food Pantry in Benton Co.
VINTON, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- Day after day, millions of Americans face the threat of not knowing where that next meal is coming from.
According to 'Feeding America,' an estimated 2,760 adults and nearly 1,160 children were food insecure in Benton County. Those problems are magnified during the summer months, when kids are out of school.
The group we spoke to Friday is mobilizing - literally- to solve the problem.
It all started with 5 women, and an area in need.
"We don't even have a name right now, we call ourselves a group of lady friends," volunteer Barbara Rego says
She sees the problems every day.
"I work in a daycare center, and I see a lot of single parents and working poor," Rego says.
"I heard from our counselor that we have 7 students who are classified as homeless," says fellow volunteer Shane Monaghan.
Those deficiencies gave this small group an idea - rather than have people search for food, bring the food right to the people.
Working with the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program, the group arranged for more than 400 pounds of food to be delivered to Vinton Saturday morning.
"We're really excited to get nutritious and healthy fresh food to these families," says Anissa Bourgeacq with HACAP.
The mobile pantry is a first for HACAP, and they hope it isn't the last.
"We take what we learn at this first pantry and we expand it, and we'll try to get in as many communities as possible," Bourgeacq says.
On Saturday the focus will be on Benton County.
"We really don't know what to expect, but we're hoping for a lot of people," Rego says.
One thing they can count on - the joy that comes with helping your neighbor.
"Kinda privileged that I can help instead of being the one to be helped," Monaghan says.
Who knows how far that help may go? In the words of one lady friend-
"She was ready to take on the world, so I don't know where we go from here," Rego says
The First Mobile Food Pantry will be this Saturday, June 14th from 10:00 to 11:30 at the HACAP North Benton Center, 202 East 4th Street in Vinton.
Here are the income guidelines for the pantry:
1 Person Household - $21,257

Just a guy living near Salt Lake City. I spend the bulk of my time staring at a computer screen, writing code in various languages, from Obj-C for iPhone apps to C# for Windows Phone and Unity3D, Flash apps, and a few desktop apps here and there. If I'm not doing that, I'm playing my guitar, Xbox, Legos with the kids, or out in the garage.
Somehow defying the odds, he managed to convince a beautiful girl to marry him, and together they have two girls, a little boy, and one onery cat.

I have a mexican BOP that I grew from seed 2.5 years ago, and it seems to be unusual. The first couple of leaves it grew were the typical bipinnate mexican BOP leaves. the rest of the plant however has not had those leaves. it doesn't really seem to have leaves. From the branches, it grows out leaf-like extensions that curl-up and brown right at the tip. the plant is otherwise healthy and grows great. I included a picture of the leaf-tips. It is almost 7 feet tall right now. Anybody have experience with this? Is this a juvenile form, or is something wrong? |

Strange ... are you sure it's a BOP? It looks a lot like a young shoestring acacia |
No I'm not 100% sure it's a BOP... I was like 99% sure though. I picked some pods off of a BOP near my work, but I also had a bunch of other seeds in my truck.... It DOES look a lot like a shoestring acacia.... to be honest, it probably is... well thanks for solving that 3 year-old mystery... Now I have to figure out what to do with it... it's not really somewhere I can have a tree like that.... thank you very very much :) |

It's hard to survive as a starting quarterback in today's NFL without being able to consistently throw the deep ball. That's why it's sort of surprising that, statistically, Vince Young and David Garrard were the most accurate deep passers in the league in 2010, while Peyton Manning struggled completing passes down the field, according to Pro Football Focus.
They explain their study:
"We broke down every pass from the 2010 season, and dropped them into numerous categories and sub categories. One of these was passes thrown longer than 20 yards. Which brings us to the point of this article. A look at who threw downfield the most and who did it most efficiently. 30 deep attempts was the qualifying mark to be considered."
Some interesting findings:
- At 45.7 percent, Young had the highest completion percentage in the league on passes of 20 yards or more. He can thank Kenny Britt for that. (Maybe that's why Jeff Fisher thinks Young can win somewhere as a starter.) Garrard came in at 45.1 percent despite throwing 16 more deep passes than Young, which is actually more impressive in my opinion.
- While Matt Schaub, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees and Michael Vick all made the top 10 by completing more than 40 percent of their deep passes, Peyton Manning fell on his face. Manning finished 22nd on the list, completing just 30.5 percent of a league-high 95 deep attempts.
- It was a tough year for Eli Manning, interceptions-wise. But Eli crushed his brother, finishing 15 spots ahead of Peyton with a deep ball completion percentage of 41.1 percent.
- Looking at the pivots in our recent quarterback power rankings, Brees, Rivers, Vick and Schaub lived up to expectations, while Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger and Josh Freeman finished in the middle of the pack. The real disappointments were Matt Ryan and Manning. Ryan's 31.4 deep pass completion percentage makes you understand why the Falcons traded up in the draft to take Julio Jones.
- I nearly included Matt Cassel in my quarterback power rankings, which is why I was amazed to see that the Chiefs' signal caller finished dead last on the list at 24.6 percent. Considering how good Dwayne Bowe was, that's shocking.
- Brady, Ryan and Schaub rarely went deep. Only Chad Henne and Sam Bradford had fewer deep throws as a percentage of their overall attempts than those three. Brady and Ryan were Pro Bowlers.
- Excluding Colt McCoy (who was off the charts), Jay Cutler had the highest percentage of interceptions on deep throws (12.5 percent). Somewhat surprisingly, Rivers and Brees also finished in the top 10 in that category. The underrated Kyle Orton and the super-young Josh Freeman threw only two interceptions apiece on 73 and 72 deep passes, respectively.
