Artist finds studio with cork flooring laden family room
Artist finds studio with cork flooring laden family room
Sally Berner is a painter who has had her work displayed in shows across the globe, but finding the perfect space to paint in her Wisconsin-home was a lengthy process. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that she settled on her spacious family room after trying out several other areas.
Berner began in the kitchen, but that placed a number of obstacles in her way. The easel she set up got in the way when she wanted to cook and the countertops became covered in a great deal of paint, she told the news source.
After the kitchen, Berner tried out a sunroom, but she decided that it was better left to its original purpose. She then landed on the living room, which is furnished with cork flooring and pine walls.
"I like the warmth of it and the fact that I have everything I need here," Berner told the news source.
Cork flooring can add a sense of warmth to any room, and according to TLC.com, it offers other benefits as well. Thanks to its millions of tiny air cells, the material provides some give and is soft underfoot.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Adding Material to your sequence is only part of the story, among other things it's also important to be able to effectively move material around within the timeline. Let's take a look at the most effective ways to do this in Final Cut Pro X. All right, so I am going to go into 3.6. Okay, so I have a sequence here, and it's certainly coming along, but I think I'd like to try out a few things. And the first thing we want to try is to switching a couple of these interviews here. I want to switch these two interview clips here so that Justin comes before Owen.
And I can easily do this by just clicking on one of the clips and then dragging, in this case I'll drag to the left, like so. And we can see that Final Cut basically does all of the work for me. I just need to hover a long enough for the clip to get out of the way and move over to swap places. So, I'll just release, and I have swapped my shots. So you can do this for any clip anywhere in the sequence. They don't need to be adjacent. So, if want to John Downey's interview to come over here, I do the same thing, release, and that's all there is to it. But I think I'll move him back for now.
Now when we swap shots like this, the duration of the sequence never changes. We are just changing the position of clips, but not adding or subtracting anything. Now if I want to add some space between clips, I can't do it this way. So, let's say I would like to put some space before John Downey's soundbite. Maybe I want to include some B-roll of this restaurant before he comes on screen. But notice that when I grab onto the clip and move it to the right, like so. it snaps to right back into position. This is because Final Cut Pro X works in a magnetic timeline where in the default edit mode, everything remains attached and you cannot separate them.
So, if we want to introduce some space in between these clips, we have to switch edit modes. So, if we come up to this menu here, as you can see right now we are using the Select tool, whose keyboard shortcut is A. This is the tool we use most of the time for most editing. If I open this menu and switch to the Position tool, keyboard shortcut P, now things they are going to behave a little bit differently. So, I want to put up some breathing room in between these two clips, I'll just drag on to John Downey's clip, and drag to the right, like so.
and release, and notice that when I do this I create something called a Gap clip. A Gap clip behaves exactly like a regular clip. Now I am going to switch back over to the Select tool real quick so I can show you what I mean. So, I am just going to press A to switch back to the Select tool, and now notice I can take my Gap clip and drag it around and swap shots just like regular clips. Okay, I am going drag that back over to where I had it. If I had stayed on the Position tool, so I'll press P, and I drag around my Gap clip, something else entirely happens.
I'll drag it over, release, and you can see that I overwrote that shot, so that's usually not what you want, I'm going to undo that. So, in general, when you're finished workings with the Position tool, go ahead and press A right away to get back into the Select tool. If you forget to do this, you could end up doing something you don't intend, and frankly it's easy to forget, because the Position tool looks so much like the Select tool. So, bottom line, just make sure to re-enable the Select tool, every time you're finished repositioning your clips.

AS the tittle says, i think it's unfair that i have to play the most boring tedious mode that brings absolutely no enjoyment to my life to get a skin that should be available for all modes. Either give us ranked dominion or give the skin in another way. Summoners rift sucks.
You offer no solution lol. How do you suggest they pick the dominion players worthy of a Janna skin, not that I think they will change their minds. Also, 1500 isn't actually that high. I did it just spamming support and being better than the enemy laners. I hadn't done ranked since christmas eve when I got myself silver.
Give it to players who are only 2400+. But then again, most of us up here are already gold/plat in other areas (solo q, ranked teams) huehue
checking hidden elo would make borderline player wtf all over the place since there is no way to make sure you are there. And as BuddhaRice implied, high elo dominion players generally don't suck anyways making the SR requirement not too difficult.
it's not a matter of difficulty it's a matter of having to invest what, 5? 10? hours playing a game I don't want to play
agreed with reikken. i'd love to have the war hero janna skin, but i just cant be arsed to snooze that much. i'd rather play a game than fall asleep playing a game
Btw, OP is not even lv 30, so take that however you like. ITT unranked players who probably have no shot at the skin hoping riot will give it to them and players who already have gold+
He still makes a good point. Riot is again, in a very minor way of course, screwing those of us that prefer to play dominion. There is no solution until they introduce ranked dominion, which should be done as soon as possible, it's beyond inexcusable that it hasn't been done before now.

IF YOU'RE LUCKY, your firm's income exceeds its expenses. Still, you could be waiting for a large check from a client at the same time that your employees and consultants expect to be paid. Even businesses that operate in the black sometimes have cash-flow problems. And many architects make matters worse by paying insufficient attention to finances: The same practitioners who will work all night perfecting a design detail tend to ignore their bank statements.
Luckily, there's a relatively simple solution for smoothing out cash-flow fluctuations—a line of credit, which Maria Coyne says is a must for any small or medium-sized firm.
An executive vice president of Cleveland -based Key Bank, Coyne is an expert on the financing of small businesses, including architecture firms. She is also the national spokesperson for Key4Women, a program for female entrepreneurs, and she blogs about small businesses at www.key.com. Before joining Key, she was a small-business strategist with the Greater Cleveland Growth Association and an executive with Bank One in Chicago.
Architects, Coyne says, need to pick clients who will pay on time, although she admits that's easier said than done. What you can do is give your clients less leeway in paying you than your vendors give you—say, 30 days (for clients) as opposed to 60 (for vendors).
Technology has made it possible for new firms to outsource many big-ticket items. For example, instead of buying expensive printing equipment, you can hire a firm that specializes in architectural graphics.
Coyne recommends a line of credit, which she describes as "like a credit card without the card." Once you're approved, you can draw it down simply by transferring money to your firm's checking account. The interest rate will range from prime plus one to prime plus five, depending on your creditworthiness and other factors. Payments will be either all interest or interest plus a tiny bit of principal.
If you're starting a new firm, you will have to show that you're creditworthy; the bank may ask to see signed contracts with clients. It also helps to have collateral, which can be personal property or accounts receivable (without collateral, you'll pay a higher rate of interest). And hope your personal credit rating is strong: Banks won't distinguish between you and your firm when it comes to creditworthiness.
The Small Business Administration has a number of programs that make it easier for you to obtain credit. Under a plan called SBA Express, the agency will guarantee 50 percent of your line (with no additional paperwork required). That kind of guarantee "helps the bank get comfortable with businesses that have no track record," Coyne explains.
The idea is to draw it down, pay it back, draw it down, pay it back, says Coyne. For capital expenses, especially when you're starting a firm, it's best to use "term debt." Lines of credit, in which payments include no or little principal, aren't good for permanently retiring debt.
If you don't, you'll incur late fees, your interest rate may rise, and your credit rating will decline.
If you've maxed out your line of credit and can't pay down the balance, speak to your banker. "We'll talk to you about refinancing the debt, giving you some regular payments so you can see an end," says Coyne.

Iligan booters make gracious exit beating Butuan, 7-3
-A A +AThursday, March 31, 2011
DESPITE yielding early the Northern Mindanao slot to streaking host Cagayan de Oro-Misamis Oriental Football Association (CMOFA), the pre-tournament favorite Iligan-LDN booters showed discipline and sportsmanship, finishing their remaining match in Cagayan de Oro City Thursday with pride intact.
Returning to Xavier University's soccer field, the Iligan-Lanao del Norte team made a gracious exit winning over Butuan-Agusan Sur, 7-3, in the final day of one of Suzuki Cup's four cluster eliminations in Mindanao.
"Iligan and Butuan teams were very cooperative to the success of the tournament. We still have to find out why Surigao team failed to show when it already signified to participate," one Philippine Football Federation (PFF) official told Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro.
Powered by Monte Carlo striker Emiliano Mabalos Jr., the Cagayan de Oro-Misamis Oriental Football Association team beat Iligan-LDN, 5-4, and Butuan-ADN, 3-1, to make it to the Mindanao Finals of the Suzuki-PFF U23 Football Tournament.
Other qualifying games are being simultaneously held in Central Mindanao, South Mindanao and West Mindanao. (LLS)

Nancy McGurty will never forget the time she traveled from the East to the West Coast by plane with her howling infant, in the center of a row of "suits." For six hours the Bogota, NJ, mother tried to soothe her unhappy baby while bravely withstanding the aggravated glares of businessmen jabbing at their laptops.
Few who've done it would deny that traveling with kids can be trying, but it doesn't have to be. One of my family's best trips was a 17-hour car expedition from New Jersey to Nova Scotia (our three active boys were then 1, 3, and 8). Are you crazy? friends asked as we climbed into our aging station wagon. But the journey -- driving through northern Maine's woodlands, cruising the breathtaking scenery on Canada's coast, the novelty of visiting a museum in Halifax -- remains one of our favorite memories.
If there's a rule for family travel, it's this: Find the right balance between preparing for the worst and letting the best happen. In other words, map out a plan but be ready to leap into those serendipitous moments.
What follows is parent-tested advice gathered from those who've braved and survived the travel zone with their children, on the rails, in the air, and on the road. There's lots to be learned from their mistakes -- and from their triumphs!

text: I am currently very ill with chronic lyme disease. It is so bad right now that I have been mostly bedridden for the past several months. In August we will be going to WDW with my whole family. I have gone in my wheelchair before and know how to get around the world in that regards but due to the treatment I am on I am worse before I get better. It is a lot like Chemo. Anyways, any tips for doing the World while ill? WDW is my favorite place in the world and I can't wait to go but have no idea how I am going to do it so ill. I have no idea if I made sense with this post, part of my illness causes brain fog and stuff so I can't always get out what I want to say. I want to make sure I canmake this trip special for my 4 children who have been through a lot since I have been sick.

Gavin Rees will defend his European lightweight title against Anthony Mezaache in Paris on Friday March 23, live on Sky Sports. The Welshman won the vacant belt in June against Andy Murray in Cardiff and the 31 year-old heads to the northwest of the French capital at the Gymnase Georges Racine in Clichy la Garenne, Hauts-de-Seine to retain the belt in his first pro fight outside the UK. Rees first defence ended in a draw after Derry Mathews sustained a broken nose after a clash of heads in the fourth round of their fight in Newport in October. The Newbridge fighter is looking to get back into World title contention after holding the World Boxing Association (WBA) light welterweight title in 2007-08 but will face a stern task in Mezaaches hometown. The Frenchman is seeking to hold the European belt for the second time having recovered brilliantly from a first round knock down to take it from Jon Thaxton in February 2009 in Norwich and defending it once before relinquishing. The 33 year-old claimed the vacant WBA Inter-Continental and IBF International belts in April in the same venue and followed that with another win there in December, his 21st pro victory from 30 contests. Gavin has been in the gym on and off since the Mathews fight, said Rees trainer Gary Lockett. The Gavin Rees of old is long gone, he's grown up a lot and he knows that being out of the gym when you haven't got a fight is not my way. So he's been training hard and he looks in fantastic shape - I wish the fight was this week really as he looks superb. But we will be very ready for March 23 and its going to be a great occasion to fight in France. Gavin is a different animal today. In the last six months I've been able to get across to him what I want him to do and that's the main challenge when you are a new fighter-trainer team, and Gavin is reaping the benefits now that the communication is perfect. Gavin has slowed himself down and he's working at the pace I want him to. We've been doing a lot of sparring with a lad called Chris Goodwin from Chester and he's been coming down and doing eight and ten rounds of terrific sparring at a time, and all of this was when Gavin was still not sure 100 per cent sure of when he's going to fight so his conditioning is fantastic and we'll just be fine tuning things in the next month. Anthony is a tough and stubborn guy. I saw Thaxton flatten him in Norwich in the opening round of their clash and he was really wobbled but he got himself back up, dug in and won convincingly on foreign soil which takes guts, so we're expecting a really difficult fight and we're preparing for just that. Ticket information on the fight will be available soon. William Miranda Works Full Time while Training for Allentown Fight this Saturday! ALLENTOWN, PA (February 21, 2012) - Even while preparing for his tenth professional boxing match, heavyweight William Miranda of Allentown, PA continues to log hours at Hammer Training and Fitness in Allentown, spending hours helping clients achieve their fitness goals as the gym's head boxing trainer. "Everyone else is working hard and then you're like 'Oh wait, what about me?'," said Miranda, the 4-4-1 heavyweight who faces Riley Brooks (1-3-1) of Baltimore, MD in the six-round main event of King's Promotions "Heavyweight Explosion" this Saturday at the Rodeway Inn in Allentown. Miranda, 33, is excited to be fighting for the second consecutive time in his hometown, but admits there are a lot of added pressures that go along with the honor. Miranda, who is one of the most popular fighters in the state, brings a large contingent of vocal fan support and will have by far the biggest crowd on site. But in addition to training for the fight, spending hours in the gym and hitting the street running, Miranda is also running around town dropping off tickets and promoting the fight everywhere he goes. It's a job within itself. "It's just been a lot of running around, trying to sell tickets on Facebook and just stopping to tell everybody about the fight," said Miranda. "Last night I had to tell my girlfriend I had to hand out some postcards for the fights, was out until 2 AM promoting the show. "Ultimately I do feel a little pressure fighting in my hometown, but most of the people coming are my friends and they're there to root me on. They want to see victory, so I have to take them on my shoulders and say 'Come on. let's do it.'" But once he gets to the ring, Miranda plans to show the real reason why so many flock to the venues whenever he fights. "I'm only 5'9", so you're not going to see me run around and pop jobs, boring everybody to sleep. I have to be aggressive and take risks, so I'm always in exciting fights," said Miranda. "My opponent has a similar style so I'm expecting a head-on collision." In the six-round co-featured bout, junior middleweight Keenan Collins (13-7-2, 9 KO) of Reading, PA will face Julio Cesar Lanza (7-17-6, 1 KO) of Managua, Nicaragua. Collins, a native of York, PA, is looking to get back on track after a competitive decision loss to world-ranked Philadelphian Gabriel Rosado. Also on the card, undefeated welterweight Grayson Blake (4-0, 1 KO) of State College, PA will meet Corey Preston (1-7) from North Carolina in a four-round bout. The 29-year-old Blake was a former national amateur standout and was a member of the Pennsylvania State University boxing team. In other action, heavyweight Eric Newell (3-1,1 KO) of Bethlehem, PA will face debuting Randy Easton, plus junior lightweight Frank Santos De Alba (1-0-1, 1 KO) of Reading, PA meets Corey White (1-3, 1 KO) from Ohio in a four-round bout. Rounding out the card is a four-round junior welterweight clash between pro debut Joshua Reyes of Reading, PA against Osahon Omo-Osagie (0-1-1). Tickets are priced at $65 (VIP), $50 (Ringside) and $35 (General Admission), and can be purchased at the Rodeway Inn (610-398-1629), King's Boxing (610-587-5950) at Lehigh Valley Isshin Ryu Karate (484-554-8804) or online at eventbrite.com. Doors open at 6PM and first fight is at 7PM. For more information, visit www.kingsboxing.com The Rodeway Inn is located at 1151 Bulldog Drive, Allentown, PA. FERRANTE SHEIKA CARD SET FOR THIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT HARRAHS IN CHESTER CHESTER, PA (February 21, 2012)This Friday Night, Tony Boom Boom Ferrante will take part in the most important bout of his career when he takes on former four time world title challenger Omar Sheika in a ten round bout for the BAM championship. The bout plus a terrific five bout undercard is promoted by Joey Eye Boxing Promotions. This will be the sixth boxing show promoted by Joey Eye Boxing just over 12 months at Harrahs in Chester. Ferrante of Philadelphia has a record of 12-2 with seven knockouts and is one of the most popular fighters in Philadelphia. Ferrante won his first nine professional bouts before dropping back to back bouts to Chuck Mussachio (15-1-2) and Ronson Frank (17-0). Ferrante has responded with three consecutive victories, with two of those coming at Harrahs in Chester. Ferrante is coming off a first round stoppage over Joe Park last August 12th at Harrahs in Chester. Sheika of Paterson, New Jersey has been a mainstay at the top of the Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight divisions for sixteen years. He won his first fourteen bouts and went on to beat former world champions Simon Brown and Glen Johnson. Sheika challenged Joe Calzaghe, Eric Lucas; Jeff Lacy and Markus Beyer for world Super Middleweight supremacy but each time came up just a little bit short. Sheika, 31-11 with twenty-one is coming off a majority decision victory over based Light heavyweight Charles Hayward on January 21st. Two six round fights will headline the undercard. Undefeated Naim Nelson of Philadelphia will take on the battle tested Linwood Hurd in a Jr. Welterweight bout. Nelson, twenty-one years old has a record of 4-0 and holds victories over undefeated Korey Slone (1-0) and in his last bout he scored a four round unanimous decision over Pedro Andres on January 21st. Hurd has a record of 3-2-4 with one knockout. The twenty-seven year old has fought and had success with solid competition. Hurd has wins over then undefeated Bryheim Douglas (2-0-2) and scored his first knockout in his last bout over Marcus Smith and has draws with then undefeated Ryan Belasco (2-0) and tough Julio DeJesus (4-2). In a second six round Heavyweight bout, popular Radnor Police Officer Jamie Campbell takes on Lonnie Kornegay. Campbell, thirty-eight has a record of 3-2 with two knockouts. The Ridley Park, PA native lives just minutes from Harrahs in Chester and should have a big cheering section rooting him on. Campbell has two big wins over Dan Mullarkey and will be looking to redeem himself after coming off a four round unanimous decision defeat to last minute replacement William Miranda last March 18th at Harrahs in Chester. Kornegay is a thirty-three year old native of Baltimore will bring in a record of 1-5-2. The irony of the fight is that Kornegays lone win is over Miranda (Miranda got even in the rematch).

MediaCom has unveiled a four-year global partnership with Pele that will span the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Brazil, through Legends 10, the legendary footballer's exclusive global agent.
We caught up with the three-time World Cup winner and Marcus John, the global head of MediaCom Sport, to talk more about the deal.
The coup for the WPP media agency means it will represent Pele for all commercial appearances in future advertising and product endorsements on a national, regional and global scale in a deal understood to be worth single-digit millions of pounds.
Earlier this year Pele brought all his licensing and image rights under the control of Legends 10.
Non-commercial appearances, for example for Fifa and the Brazil Organising Committee of the Olympic Games, will be handled by Legends 10, according to John.
Pele has arrived in London ahead of Sunday night's closing ceremony, which will see London hand over to Rio and could feature an appearance from the 71-year-old.
MediaCom estimates that a budget of a combined $2bn will be deployed by more than 60 sponsors linked with the two global events.
It has yet to announce any brands who have signed up to work with Pele, but John hopes to unveil one within months.
"As a media agency we need to look at where our advertisers go, where are the main investments, and over the next four years, come Sunday evening, there's no other place on the planet that will attract more advertiser spend both in rights fees invested with organising committees plus the investment that goes with these rights fees to amplify the rights, than Brazil.
"Is there anybody that exemplifies the country, the passion, and the things that stand for the event...? There's no other country that has somebody like Pele – the athlete of the century, right?
"If you compare other football players, other stars, there really isn't a comparable personality alive today.
"He's a UN ambassador, he's much, much bigger than sport. Obviously being Brazilian and having the two biggest events on the planet in his home country, the amplification of what he can do to brands is unprecedented, it's never happened before."

Someone gave me one for my birthday-a beatiful dark purple one. Havn't planted it yet, and I heard somewhere that they are considered to be invasive. Any truth to this? Will it escape from my 1/10 acre in the middle of town? I was really curious to see what kind of butterflies I might get with this, but I don't want to be part of the problem. Advice please! :)

Lisa, it is true that they can reseed into natural areas. It's also true that they are great for attracting butterflies. If you are diligent about deadheading the spent flowers you can control the reseeding issues. And if you are really in the middle of town away from any natural areas, my humble and strictly personal opinion is that it will be okay. Enjoy! V. |
I have one, and it has not been invasive with me, not even any stray seedlings. I live in the suburbs and only cut back the bush once a year. |
- Posted by Lisa_in_PA z6 PA (My Page) on Fri, Apr 29, 05 at 16:00
Thanks folks! |
Lisa - I got rid of mine because deadheading them was very tough to keep up with - and the open area near me that was recently disturbed ended up having zillions of seedlings all over it. It was scary. I know they weren't due to mine, but it really underlined the potential invasiveness of this species around here to me. So I decided they just were not worth the risk - I have plenty of natives that the butterflies adore. |
- Posted by Elaine_NJ6 (My Page) on Sun, May 1, 05 at 16:19
Frankly, if you plant a NE aster next to a butterfly bush, the butterflies will ignore the Buddleia and flock to the aster every time. |

my neighbors has butterfly bushes and i have a flower garden of native plants. My garden has asters, milkweeds, black eyed susans, eupatorium, culversoot, coneflowers, silene regia etc etc... i have way more butterfies in this perrenial flower garden than she has on her bushes. it makes sense that the butterflies are going to be attracted to the plants that they evolved and adapted with rather than an imported species. |

I personally don't think in PA that it has great potential of becoming a noxious weed so you have to weigh.... am I more worried about it reseeding into the wild an disturbing native plants? or do I want to provide forage for bees and butterflies? Disturbance of native plants is a problem but only with plants that pose this risk in pa again I doubt this would become a real problem..... I don't think the usda even has it listed on the trouble or "potential" trouble list..... there are many other plants to worry about that disturb native flora on the other hand the fauna..... bees (honey bees especially) and many butterflies are endangered due to loosing their "habitat" and things to forage..... Especially in the northeast were developement is rampant is this a problem.... tearing out old bushes and shrubs and flowers etc. woods and fields and planning and building new developments planted at least at first with just a few "background" junipers and evergreens and impatiens in the summer is hardly a good environment for food for butterflies etc. what it looks like to them in a near empty banquet table! Thus many species are starving.... I'd say plant the butterfly bush and give them something to eat! :) If you're concerned for the enviroment etc. and local fauna in particular plant some more plants for native birds (berry nut plants etc.) and some native shrubs etc. that provide forage (food) for butterflies etc. and forage for their larvae . :) |
Flowersandthings - I am in PA and I have seen this very plant being very invasive around me, as I noted above. Like everyone has mentioned, plant something NATIVE for the butterflies to eat - either as adults or as larvae and you're doing them more of a favor than planting something that has the potential to compete with the remaining natives! |
- Posted by Fledgeling_ 4b SD (My Page) on Sun, May 1, 05 at 21:53
Flowersandthings i couldnt disagree more. This species sometimes displaces food plants for the butterfly larva when in escapes into disturbances wich themselves are all the more frequent, so IMHO it may be better for the butterflies if you planted natives. |
- Posted by ahughes798 z5 IL (My Page) on Sun, May 1, 05 at 23:20
It's all about food for the larvae of the butterflies....buddleia is not a larval food for butterflies. Sure..adult butterflies land on it...but in the long run, someone would be better off finding out what native plants are food for the larvae of butterflies. That's what really matters. April |
The only rampantly invasive Budleja ('Butterfly Bush')is B. davidii. There are many others available like B. globosa, and B. marrubifolia, which are well behaved and to butterflies and people as the invasive ones. |
- Posted by Vera_EWASH z5 EasternWA (My Page) on Wed, Jul 20, 05 at 21:43
A little late too post, but had to disagree with the comment regarding Butterfly Bush having never been added to any weed lists...there are a few states that have added it to Noxious weed lists....including WA state that has added it as of this year...B. davidii Vera |

My mother and I have had it in our gardens in central Jersey for twelve years or so - I've seen two seedlings in that time and we aren't great about deadheading. Clay soil if that matters. It is a great attractor for tiger swallowtails - twenty or so flitting around is a sight. Never seen any Lochinch seedlings at all. |

Buddleja davidii has been listed as invasive in PA. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Weeds Gone Wild
Butterfly bush (Buddleja) is listed in "Plant Invaders of Mid-Atlantic Natural Areas". The authors define mid-Atlantic as "Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia". I suppose it's possible it's not a problem in all the states listed, but this does put enough of a doubt in my mind that personally, I'd rather not have it in my garden (I was actually glad when some careless workmen trampled a small one I had). I'll also mention that sometimes seedlings from invasives may show up far from the parent plant, but not near it when spread by wildlife. Please do not get bent out of shape at this posting. I'm trying to share information, not tell people what to do |

Joepyeweed said it best--the butterflies ignore the butterfly bush and head right for the natives. Take out the bush and put in a nice big clump of ironweed, liatris, NE aster, bergamot, little bluestem. You'll see a lot more butterflies over a much longer period. |

Then & NowYou may remember the tiny, black puppy known as Lovey that Karen Wilkins wrote about in February, seeking a forever home for this pup. Today, this black and brindle beauty is now 23 pounds and still growing (Sorry to bring it up again, Karen) and it has me wondering, wouldn't it be great to see your before and afters?
As you know, Cause for Paws was founded to provide assistance in fund raising, public awareness and soliciting of volunteers for the animal rescue mission of Maranatha Farm.
Can you spare a half an hour one Saturday a month to volunteer at the Pet Adoption Fair at Neighbors on Bluffton Parkway? Here is how you can help:
Set Up: summer adoption hours are 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Volunteers are needed at 9:30 to help set up crates, provide water bowls for each crate and fill, lay blankets in crates and distribute leash and collars for each dog.
Dog Walkers: ideal for teens or someone just exploring their "canine compatibility". Dog walking not only showcases the dogs but provides one on one contact and attention, a valuable gift of your time.
Take Down: by the end of the day, Karen and her hubby, Yellowjacket are beat. After all, they've begun bathing and grooming dogs and loading up their trucks early in the morning. Volunteers are needed to disassemble crates, manage dogs and help pack up.
Please call me at 726-8325 or email firstname.lastname@example.com if you can help out. Just one half hour a month can make a difference! In the meantime, post those puppies! I'm sure Karen would like to get an update on her "little" darlin's. There's not a day that goes by that we don't thank Karen in our hearts for bringing a little "Lovey" into our lives.
By: CauseForPaws on August 24, 2007 - 4:13pm - Add new comment
I don't know who was more persuasive, Karen Wilkins or Luigi, the jack russell/italian greyhound we just adopted. Luigi was one of several dogs rescued from Hinesville GA last week along with Harbor, Pansy, Pammy, Pearl and many more.
I'm a working "mom" and I am leary of returning to work on Monday. Right now, Missy stays in the laundry room (otherwise known as "Missy's Room") and I'm not quite sure where to confine Luigi or how long it will take before I'm sure they can be confined together. I know many of you are working "moms" as well and maybe you could share your ideas and experience with bringing a new dog into your house. Like Missy and Luigi, I'm all ears.
August is wrapping up and the end of summer is right around the corner. How are those food raiser parties coming along? We have raised about 700 pounds of food so far. (MinnieMouse-check your email and thank you for your donation!) If you're not planning a party please take a ride out to Maranatha Farm on September 1st and bring your donation with you. We look forward to seeing you there.

One Ton - yes, that's what it takes to feed the sheltered dogs at Maranatha Farm each month. What better way to acknowledge the "Dog Days of Summer" by having a FOOD RAISER PARTY. It's simple. Celebrate the winding down of summer with your friends and family and ask that each invitee bring a bag of Purina Puppy Chow. Be sure to let Cause for Paws know (at firstname.lastname@example.com) so we can arrange to pickup your donations and keep all the Friends of Maranatha Farm updated on the progress of meeting our goal of collecting tons of food by the end of the summer! I'm planning my party now.
Watch for the August issue of the Maranatha Messenger. We're hoping it will be accessible through the MF website, thanks to our good friends of Maranatha Farm, webmaster Lighthouse Design Group.
Hope you all caught the article in ah-hem the "other" newspaper, on another good Friend of Maranatha Farm, Camp Green Dog. It was nice to find out more about the facility and its owner, Karen Wallace. Karen has been an invaluable resource to the animal rescue community. Check out the on line edition for the feature article.
And finally, on another note, congratulations to friends Shelly Wine & Holly Zusack on the groundbreaking of Three Black Dogs Pet Care, a new pet care facility that will be opening in a few months on Ulmer Rd. Maranatha Farm and Cause for Paws appreciates your support.

Just a reminder...This Saturday is the first Saturday of the month. Please stop by Neighbors on Bluffton Parkway beginning at 9:00 a.m. and drop off your donations of food, cleaning supplies and laundry supplies as part of the First Saturday Food Saturday program. As you have been reading over the last few weeks, Maranatha Farm has continued to open its doors to all pets in need. Although several dogs have been placed in the past few weeks, they are immediately replaced with new puppies and kittens and some older dogs, too. Every little bit helps. Come early as closing time will be determined by the thermometer! Thank you all for your continued interest and support!

Thank you Bluffton Today for the great article on Yancey's Pond and an additional BIG THANK YOU for your award to Karen Wilkins for contributions towards animal advocacy. Karen has touched so many lives through living her faith and helping over 100 pets find a forever home. It is nice to see her efforts recognized.

It's going to be a beautiful day with a projected high of 68 degrees. What a great day to come and visit Maranatha Farm for the First Saturday open house. Meet the puppies and dogs, play a game of fetch and watch them wade in their pond. Burgers and franks will be on the grill waiting for you in the DFZ (Dog Free Zone) where you can get a chance to meet Buckshot. Donations of Pro Plan Puppy Chow, towels and blankets, detergent, bleach, are always welcome. Go to www.maranathafarm.org for directions. See you there!

Once again, Friends of Maranatha Farm have come through with some major donations: a 10 X 14 storage building that will be used to house a puppy infirmary and stainless steel tables! Thank you to all who have visited the website and have made contributions through PayPal to help Karen Wilkins sustain her tireless efforts to provide a safe haven for these animals. We are expecting more good things to happen so stay tuned to the website www.maranathafarm.org for new information.

I started a little early this year so I could see just how much of a donation we could accumulate from goodshop.com with my holiday gift list. So far I've raised over $14 shopping on line. Here is the link that opens to over 400 stores to shop from with favorites such as Walmart, BestBuy, Target, Staples but also some great sites like 1 800 Flowers, Ebay, Barnes and Noble, Dicks Sporting Goods, Bass Pro, and categories to suit everyone on your shopping list.
Check it out today and be sure to select Maranatha Farm as your charity of choice.

Often, Karen's dogs give us inspiration. Blossom, who still struggles with her injuries, has united many of the Bluffton Today readers with Maranatha Farm's purpose. Blossom was also the inspiration for Cause For Paws, a support effort for publicity,volunteers and fund raising. Today, Angel Baby, whose blog was just posted (and looking for her Forever Home, speaks to us all in this holiday season. Beginning next week at the First Saturday Open House at Maranatha Farm, our Angel Tree will make its debut and will be available at the December Pet Adoption Fairs. On the Angel Tree you will find ornaments indicating ways you can help Maranatha Farm in the holiday season, with blankets, toys, donations for medical bills and food. Please stop by and choose your Christmas angel named after the pets that have found their forever homes and make a donation in their name. Holiday treats will be available for Pets and Visitors and the Christmas edition of the Maranatha Farm Mutt Puppies will be available for adoption. Proceeds from the Mutt Puppy Sales will benefit Blossom's medical bills as she faces hopefully her final surgery in the next few weeks. Also,during this holiday season, don't forget to do your shopping through Goodsearch.com. The dollars are adding up with nearly $20 raised so far since November 1st. This can easily turn into $2000 if you participate in this cost free fund raiser. Participating vendors contribute a portion of your purchase to your charity of choice. Please select Maranatha Farm and turn your holiday gift shopping into a gift for Maranatha Farm as well. Please send this information to your friends and family who may internet shop, too.

Make your own pilgrimage to some of the world's most holy and spiritual sites. Consider taking an inspirational journey to Israel's revered Holy Lands, seeing the world's most sacred Hindu temple and highest monastery in Tibet, visiting awe inspiring Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia or watching the religious tradition of ritual cleansing in India's River Ganges.
Tibet, the home of the Dalai Lama, exudes spirituality through its wonderful Buddhist temples. Jokhang temple in Lhasa is similar to Mecca for the Tibetans with many of them making the pilgrimage to this sacred building. The Himalayan kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan offer an unrivalled view into the customs, traditions and everyday living of Buddhist life.
To explore the Christian faith, a trip to Jordan is recommended as many of our tours in this area visit Mt Nebo, offering stunning views across the Promised Land, just as Moses saw long ago, and also Madaba, famous for the the oldest surviving map of the Holy land and Jerusalem. Heading on into Syria you have a chance to visit Ma'alula, where the locals still speak Aramaic the language of Christ. A tour to Jerusalem is highly recommended as home to sites of key religious importance, among them the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque.
Lebanon offers the impressive 15 ton white marble ton statue of the Virgin Mary, known as 'Our Lady of Lebanon', crusader castles overlooking the sea and delightful monasteries where you can stay bed down for the night
In Cambodia, iconic Angkor Wat is not only one of Asia's most important archaeological sites, it is also reputed to be the largest religious building in the world, attracting pilgrims from around the globe.
Varanasi in India is perhaps the holiest place on the Ganges and so the city has been a cultural and religious centre in northern India for several thousand years, with many prominent philosphers, poets writers and musicians living there. Our tours give you the opportunity to learn more about the Hindu faith and witness the sandalwood funeral pyres that burn day and night, rain or shine.
See below for our Heavenly, Holy and Spiritual selection.

TheArcade posted... Spider-Man Games - The last game left a sour taste in peoples mouths. They should honestly have left it at Ultimate Spider-Man. Spidey 2 is a masterpiece. Sure Web of Shadows and Shattered Dimensions are solid but those in between games really hurt the wallcrawler. Makes me wish I could go back to the days of Maximum Carnage, Spider-Man Arcade and Spidey vs. Kingpin for Sega CD. I've gotta disagree on this one. Beenox has made three fantastic Spidey games in such a short period of time. Even their most flawed game - EoT - had an excellent "What If?" storyline and plenty of fanservice to boot. Maybe not worth 60 bucks, but a great game nonetheless. If I had to pick two: Ninja Gaiden - Team Ninja doesn't know what to do with the series. They flip-flop so much, it's painful to watch. "Hey, you know what's great? One Ninpo, one weapon, dumbed down combat, QTEs, multiplayer, no de-limbing or gore, and a moronic story that makes Ryu your standard anime dark hero!" A few months later... "Wait, what? The people that made the series a success hated our lame new take on NG?! We should listen to their legitimate complaints.... and make the more tolerable game on a wholly different console!" A few months later... "Ok, fine. You guys get the port of the game you should have had in the first place. Still sucks though!" and Halo - I can't see how any person who has read the books and is in Halo for the storyline actually likes where 343i is taking the story. Letting a book like Glasslands get published basically made me realize that 343 is in it for one thing, and that thing is money. | |

Two area musical groups will bring a glimpse of Appalachia and the British Isles to Chester on Saturday, Sept. 24: The Old Towne Celtic Players, a session group out of Petersburg, and the Cary Street Ramblers, a band bringing Richmond sounds from the mountains, will be adding quite a bit of twang to this year's ChesterFest.
In Chesterfield, he's a driver for OfficeMax, but in Nashville, Zach Perkins is a true-blue country music singer. A resident of Matoaca, Perkins, 25, signed a recording contract in March with Lamon Records, an independent label, jumpstarting the path he had been dreaming of for the past few years.
This week Village News begins a new year, Volume XIV No. 1. It is hard to believe time has passed so quickly and it has been 14 years since the first issue. We are still here because of this loyal community and the strong support from the businesses that allow us to push their messages.
ChesterFest has been scheduled for Sept. 24 this year. A beautiful Saturday is expected say ChesterFest organizers. In addition to the ChesterFest favorites, a number of exciting enhancements are planned. "We want this to be an extra special Fest this year," said Elliott Fausz, ChesterFest co-organizer.
The Chesterfield County Department of Parks and Recreation, along with the Capital Region Land Conservancy (CRLC), is pleased to announce the donation of a 113-acre parcel of land to the county from the estate of Paul and Anna Atkins.
To John Schoepflin, a person's age is no business of his – and that certainly applies to those in the Chester Wind Symphony which he conducts: "Yeah, I've got some grandmas." But plenty of high-schoolers comprise the group's 50 or so members as well.

Doug O'Neill could face ban in Calif.
ARCADIA, Calif. -- Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Doug O'Neill could be facing up to a six-month suspension when the California Horse Racing Board meets to discuss a case involving one of his horses testing for a high level of total carbon dioxide in 2010.
The board meets in a closed session Thursday at Betfair Hollywood Park in Inglewood, where O'Neill's stable is based. He won't attend the meeting that occurs on the same day he turns 44.
The board's monthly meeting comes in the midst of I'll Have Another's bid to become horse racing's first Triple Crown winner in 34 years. The colt trained by O'Neill won the Derby and the Preakness last Saturday, and is preparing to run in the Belmont Stakes on June 9.
O'Neill was cited by the racing board after his horse Argenta -- co-owned by O'Neill's childhood friend and Santa Anita CEO Mark Verge -- tested for a high level of TCO2 in its blood after finishing eighth in a race at Del Mar on Aug. 25, 2010. TCO2 is associated with "milkshaking," the illegal practice of giving a horse a blend of bicarbonate of soda, sugar and electrolytes. The mixture is designed to reduce fatigue and enhance performance.
"I know I didn't milkshake a horse. None of us around the barn milkshaked any horses," O'Neill told The Associated Press on Wednesday at Santa Anita. "I know it's a privilege to be a trainer, it's not a right. I take that very seriously. You got to have rules and I respect rules, but when you get faulty science involved, it costs a lot of money unfortunately, but you've got to fight it and that's what we're doing."
While maintaining his innocence, O'Neill has said he spent $250,000 vigorously fighting the charge, his third total carbon dioxide violation in California and fourth in his 25-year career. He filed a federal lawsuit that was dismissed by a trial judge, whose decision was upheld by an appeals court.
"I don't know anything about what they may decide or they may not," O'Neill said. "I know I'm contesting it big time. It's a very serious thing. We're taking it seriously, but my main focus right now is on what's at hand. We got to stay focused."
At the meeting, the board will discuss the proposed decision of a hearing officer that presided over the case. The board, whose members include actress Bo Derek, could agree, modify or reject the proposed decision.
O'Neill faces penalties ranging from a minimum 90-day suspension and a $5,000 fine to a maximum 180-day suspension and fine of $15,000, depending on whether a hearing officer's report finds aggravating circumstances or not.
He would have the right to appeal any punishment; a judge could issue a stay that would allow him to continue training.
Board spokesman Mike Marten said earlier this month that if O'Neill is penalized, it wouldn't interfere with him saddling I'll Have Another in the Belmont.
"I'm living by the great Lou Holtz quote, `What's important now," the trainer said. "Right now, what's important is I'll Have Another to continue to do well and get ready for the Belmont."
It's possible the board may not render a decision Thursday. Members could ask for more information or take the case over and hear it themselves.

This decorative duvet set is just what I was looking for at a great price! The pink side adds a fun pop of color and the black and white side makes it sophisticated. I wanted to update my "girly" bedroom decor to something more grown-up but with color. I disagree with other reviewer comments that the material is scratchy and uncomfortable, I have found the material to be comfortable and high quality so far, even though I have not washed it yet. And I am picky about that (I have 600 tc egyptian cotton sheets). The duvet cover fits very well over my alternative down comforter. The only complaint I have is that based on reviews I initially ordered the 7-piece comforter set in this style and did not like it at all so I returned it and had to pay for return shipping and order this one in it's place. If you already have a plain comforter and sheets that you like, I would definitely go with this set. I also wish it included a bed skirt, I had to buy that separately.
this piece of linen did miracles for my entire bedroom. i have a king size bed. elevated and needless to say, it's the first thing you notice when you enter my bedroom. this duvet gave my bedroom a complete new look. it's so lightweight but durable enough to keep a comforter in place. the material is perfect to touch and doesn't shrink or bleed when washed. it's contemporary and slick and soooooo inexpensive for what you're getting. it's the perfect length to fit any king size comforter regardless of how thick or fluffy it is. and, best of all, your comforter won't "swim" inside the duvet. it surprisingly stays put.
I was not expecting the bedding to be this hard and scratchy. I have only washed it once but I am hoping the duvet cover will soften up over time. The first time I slept with it, I could not sleep due to the rough texture. The duvet cover is very attractive looking however the feel is kind of unbearable.
Nice addition to my daughter's newly painted bedroom. Cotton is soft and design is pretty.
The pink was much lighter, the material was very thin. It was not at all what I expected and I returned it.
My daughter was trying to recreate a room theme she saw at the furniture store and this duvet set fit the bill perfectly. She loves it. It really makes the room pop. The price was reasonable, too.
The pink and black discolored the white portions when I washed it. I did like it, but I could not stand the discoloration and just got a new black and charcoal cover instead.
At first I was concerned that the color wasnt true but against a white background it was perfect. Fit my king sized down comforter perfectly. Have washed it once and colors stayed bright, no fading or running and no shrinkage in the dryer. Love it!

Like many others at Automobile Magazine, I'm not so keen on the exterior Krom package add-ons. In my mind, the body cladding, chrome grille and trim, and other miscellaneous sporty bling clash with the geeky, "living-room-on-wheels" idea of the Cube. It's like putting racing stripes on a La-Z-Boy. It just looks wrong. I prefer the Cube in its most basic form where it even looks good with plastic wheel covers...how many vehicles can you say that about?
On the inside, though, this Krom-ed Cube, which also includes the interior designer package, has some attractive and useful features, from the superhip metallic-looking, geometric-patterned seat fabric (which is possibly even cooler than the plaid print in our Four Seasons Volkswagen GTI), to the adjustable rubber-band-like ties on the door arm rests, to the rainbow of possible ambient lighting choices. The shag carpet patch on the dash completes the funky theme, but because it's angled toward the windshield, I'm not sure it's the safest place to store items while driving.

Guest Picks: 20 Items for Hosting Your 1st Christmas in Your Home
It's hard to believe that it's already holiday time. I've been enjoying the season, the music and the cooler weather. But there's one new twist for me this year: I am preparing to host my first holiday dinner as a newlywed, and it's for my husband's family. I am excited to get cooking and preparing my home for festive and fun times for my (new) family. Here are 20 items that I'd love to have as I host my first holiday dinner.

— Rebecca from Loving Living Small
Epinette Large Indoor & Outdoor Candle / Spruce Tree - $275
My favorite candle line, Diptyque, is spruced up for the holiday season with a limited-edition collection. These beautifully packaged and fabulous-smelling candles will make any holiday affair even merrier.
Small tip: keep the glass jar and use tea lights once the original candle has been used.

Mouth Mugs
Kitsch and the holidays? Yes, please! I love adding a little flavor whenever I entertain, and these incredible, sweet and well-designed ceramic mugs are perfect to make my family smile as they sip hot chocolate.
Batik Serving Utensil Set
I love mixing and matching textures in my home, and my serving utensils are no exception. How cool are these wooden pieces with dipped ceramic edges? The pattern is completely sweet as well. Consider getting pieces with a bit of whimsy so that you and your guests will enjoy dinner even more.
Horse and Buggy Rectangular Plate - $38
I am all about using furniture and home decor in ways different than intended, and this plate is the perfect example. Sure, a set of these would be lovely on a dinner table, but I see this as a tray for my jewelry or for displaying candles.
Acacia Slabs - $24
As a newlywed, I quickly realized that my kitchen was getting stocked with goodies to make home-cooked meals. Along with these items, a useful and gorgeous cutting board now graces my home. I'm loving this version that can be monogrammed, which would be extra sweet for a family gathering.
Starry String Lights, Amber Lights on Copper Wire - $15
I am a sucker for shiny things, and what better time to indulge in twinkle lights than the holidays?
Small space note: I actually place a few strings under my modern wood credenza in the main room to add some festive flare and to keep the eyes moving through the space.

Maple Dip Board - $118
I am always looking for unique ways to serve appetizers and goodies, and this maple dipping board is perfect. It's flawed edge is perfectly in touch with the rustic and simple style I crave. I think a trio of flavored sea salts with olive oil would work nicely here.
Bake Set - GBP 54.99
Although I have a ton of new cooking tools, I am really a baker at heart. This set is completely cool and a great small space item — it stacks inside itself for easy storage. When not in use, I can see using these bowls in unique ways.
Vintage Bookshelf Monopoly - $69
After a fab dinner, it's time to get into a little game night action with the family. I am loving this modern Monopoly set. When not "passing GO," I can place the game on my bookshelf as an addition to my pretty collections.
Los Angeles Market Bag - $68
As a new transplant to the East Coast, I am loving the seasonal weather. Yes, even the cooler weather feels good. Although I am enjoying it out here, I do like to keep a little West Coast vibe in my home, and this awesome tote is perfect to house my throws. I keep two in my living room for guests to enjoy when they want to cuddle up on the couch.
Ball Vase - $1,125
Every holiday dinner table needs a fun centerpiece. This year, I think this vase will help me make a big splash. I absolutely love the gilded enamel tone, and the interesting facade adds texture and style.
Silhouette Ornament, Couple - $34
As newlyweds, I think this is a great home idea to celebrate holiday hosting duties. I see a tradition here, people!
Swan Salt Cellar with 14kt Gold Accents & Spoon - $115
I love small details, and this gorgeous porcelain swan salt bowl is full of them. From the textured feathers to the tiny gold spoon, this is a great piece for the holiday dinner table.
"Illustrated" Toast of the Town Footed Cake Plate - $60
Since I am a baker, there will have to be a homemade cake. I love this Kate Spade cake stand with watercolor artwork. It will not only showcase my yummy dessert, but also add some dimension to the dinner table.
Ice Cream Bowl and Spoon, Gold - GBP 7.95
How fun is this gilded gold ice cream bowl and spoon? Super whimsical and just fun, these little guys will make any guest smile as they scoop up dessert.
Indian Quilt Floral Bedspread - $249
I will be hosting the holiday dinner with some overnight guests, and this gorgeous blanket is sure to add extra cheer in the bedroom.
Woven Sphere Pendant - $245
Lighting is an important design element in any size space, and this pretty chandelier will definitely make an impact. I love pendant lights; they really let the design shine. Plus, any overhead lighting can create tone and style in a space.
Kass Coaster Set - $35
Coasters are another hosting essential. Forget boring ones, and use the opportunity for your guests to rest their cocktails on pretty, painted, patterned ones. Have fun with these!
Flamingo Decals by Studio Jan Habraken - $30
I love little surprises for my guests, and why not add a little flavor to the evening? My mother-in-law likes flamingos, and I think these wall decals would be a fun addition to, say, the bathroom. They will definitely add some fun and whimsy to the night.
The End Bookend - $14.95
I am totally digging these bookends and would use them on my credenza to balance some of the DVDs. I love watching a holiday movie after dinner, and selecting one is easy because they are on display.
