Maryland Route 231 (MD 231) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The state highway runs 16.39 miles (26.38 km) from Olivers Shop Road near Hughesville east to MD 765 in Prince Frederick. MD 231 crosses the Patuxent River on the Benedict Bridge, which connects Benedict in eastern Charles County with Hallowing Point in central Calvert County. Due to the state highway serving as the sole connection between the two areas of Southern Maryland, MD 231 is part of the National Highway System between MD 5 in Hughesville and MD 2 and MD 4 in Prince Frederick.[2]
MD 231 was constructed from Hughesville to Benedict and from Hollowing Point to Prince Frederick in the early 1920s. The portion of the state highway west of Hughesville was built in the early 1930s, about the same time ferry service began between Benedict and Hallowing Point. The Benedict Bridge was started in 1950 and was completed in 1952; the bridge remained the southernmost crossing of the Patuxent River for 25 years. The bridge was tolled from its opening until around 1955. MD 231 was reconstructed between Hughesville and Prince Frederick in the mid- to late 1950s to better serve intercounty traffic.
Route description[edit]
MD 231 begins at an intersection with Olivers Shop Road in the hamlet of Burnt Store in eastern Charles County. Olivers Shop Road connects Dentsville to the south with Bryantown to the north. MD 231 heads east as two-lane Burnt Store Road, crossing Gilbert Creek on its way to Hughesville. Within Hughesville, the state highway intersects MD 5 Business (Old Leonardtown Road), where the highway's name changes to Prince Frederick Road. East of the village center, MD 231 meets MD 5 (Leonardtown Road) at a dumbbell interchange. In the hamlet of Patuxent, the state highway intersects MD 381 (Brandywine Road), which heads north into the southeastern corner of Prince George's County.[1][3]
From Patuxent, MD 231 heads southeast through the neck of far eastern Charles County that reaches to the Patuxent River between Prince George's County and St. Mary's County. Before reaching the river, the state highway passes to the north of the village of Benedict, which was the site of the landing of British troops to march toward Washington prior to the Battle of Bladensburg during the War of 1812.[1][3][4] The state highway crosses the Patuxent River on the Benedict Bridge, a 3,343-foot (1,019 m) long steel beam bridge whose roadway is 24 feet (7.3 m) wide.[5] At the Patuxent River's navigation channel, the bridge features a through steel girder swing span that has 17 feet (5.2 m) vertical clearance when closed and provides two openings with 50 feet (15 m) horizontal clearance when opened.[6]
MD 231 enters Calvert County at Hallowing Point and continues east as Hallowing Point Road, passing an industrial park and Hallowing Point Park. After intersecting MD 508 (Adelina Road), the state highway veers northeast through the village of Barstow, where the highway intersects Barstow Road, which serves the historic homes Cedar Hill and Willow Glenn. MD 231 passes the Prince Frederick campus of the College of Southern Maryland before entering Prince Frederick. The state highway meets MD 2 and MD 4, which run concurrently as Solomons Island Road, on the west side of the county seat. MD 231 continues northeast as Church Street, passing the historic home Linden, home of the Calvert County Historical Society. The state highway reaches its eastern terminus at MD 765 (Main Street), a short distance north of the county courthouse.[1][3]
The Prince Frederick Road portion of MD 231, originally named Benedict Road, was constructed as a gravel road by 1921.[7] The Hallowing Point Road section was built in gravel around 1923.[8] Burnt Store Road was constructed of gravel starting in 1930 and was completed by 1933.[9][10] At MD 231's western terminus, Olivers Shop Road was originally MD 232, which ran from MD 234 at Wicomico north to what was then MD 233 (Woodville Road) north of Bryantown.[11] MD 232 was removed from the state highway system around 1989, leaving MD 231's western terminus at a county highway.[12]
Ferry service began between Benedict and Hallowing Point began around 1933.[10] On the west side of the Patuxent River, MD 231 originally turned south into the village of Benedict, following Benedict Avenue to the ferry terminal where the avenue starting following the riverbank. The Hallowing Point terminal remains today as a boat ramp immediately south of the bridge.[13] State senator Louis L. Goldstein of Calvert County sponsored a bill to construct a bridge between Benedict and Hallowing Point. In order to get enough votes to pass, the bridge bill stipulated the bridge would have a 25-cent toll.[14] Work on the Benedict Bridge began in May 1950.[15] The toll plaza and administration building were completed on the Calvert County side of the bridge in autumn 1951. The bridge itself and 24-foot (7.3 m) wide gravel approach roads on both sides of the river were completed and opened in spring 1952.[5] The toll was removed from the bridge in 1955 due to very low traffic; a daily average of 237 vehicles used the bridge in its first year.[14][16] By comparison, the bridge had an average annual daily traffic figure of 12,312 vehicles in 2013.[1]
The completion of the Benedict Bridge greatly improved the connection between Calvert County and both Charles and St. Mary's counties. Prior to 1952, the southernmost bridge on the Patuxent River had been Hills Bridge, by which MD 4 crosses the river at Upper Marlboro.[17] By 1953, MD 231 between MD 5 in Hughesville and MD 2 in Prince Frederick was marked as a "main highway" on the state highway map.[18] Reconstruction of MD 231 between MD 5 and MD 2 began in 1954. In both counties, the road was resurfaced in two stages: a first stage of bituminous stabilized gravel and a second stage of bituminous concrete.[19][20] The reconstruction of MD 231 was completed from Prince Frederick to Hallowing Point in 1956 and from Hughesville to Benedict by 1958.[20][21] The Benedict Bridge remained the southernmost crossing of the Patuxent River until the opening of the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge between Solomons at the bottom of Calvert County and California in St. Mary's County in 1978.[22] The "functionally obsolete" bridge underwent major repairs in 2002, during which the bridge was reduced to one lane of traffic in alternating directions.[23][24]

"Dancing With the Stars" pro Chelsie Hightower blogs on season 17 of the hit ABC show. Hightower gives her take on the dances, the judges' scores, and who will be eliminated. You can find her on Twitter @chelsiehightowr.
Monday night we saw a lot of entertaining and exciting dancing — not to mention the first ever "Switch-Up Challenge." Let's get right to it!
Shocking Twist in Week 6 of 'Dancing With the Stars'
Bill Engvall: Up first, Bill and Emma dancing the smooth, sexy, sultry Tango to a song about eating hamburgers … Wait, what? Something about hamburgers and the Tango just doesn't mix. The Tango demands aggression and strength from its performers, and well, the good old-fashioned hamburger unfortunately conveys a different set of attributes. No doubt the song itself was an obstacle for Bill and Emma, which I thought they did well with. Although ya'll know I love this Southern gentlemen, it unfortunately wasn't Bill's best dance. There was lots of content, but not a lot of quality. The top line, which is usually very good, lost its shape quite a bit and he marched around the floor. No doubt this dude has a winner's attitude and, for that, I will continue to give him an A+! This one tonight just fell a little short. 7.
Elizabeth Berkley Lauren: It was endearing to see Elizabeth open up this week about the criticism she received for the movie "Showgirls." It's easy to criticize people in the spotlight and to forget that they are just human and that they make mistakes. (Cue the sappy background music). But seriously, it was nice to hear and it was important to address. Back to the dancing: I saw Elizabeth with a confidence tonight that I haven't seen her exude before. I saw her stand in her own spotlight and, for the first time, I saw her on her own, separately from Val. Great job, Elizabeth! Keep that confidence up and you'll be able to do things you never imagined. 9.
Leah Remini: Next up, Leah Remini with the quickstep! While I understand Tony's choice to break hold (a big no-no in the quickstep) because the song in a sense required it, but I wish he wouldn't have. When they were "in hold," she looked the best she's looked all season! She had an awesome top line, great footwork, and overall feel for the dance. Like Carrie-Ann said, what a turnaround from her rehearsal clips. I'm happy for Leah with this victory tonight. 9!
Brant Daugherty: Brant and Peta Tango-ed their booties off to make sure they don't Tan-go-home. Get it? This was an impressive Tango; great choreography, costumes, use of props, and not to mention the dancing! It was Brant's best dance to date. I'm glad I'm proving myself wrong with my comments a couple weeks back. Great job to the pair! 9.
Amber Riley: Amber and Derek up next with the Samba. It looks like Amber is still working through some injuries, which is likely hindering her. Amber is a great dancer, now she just needs to believe it herself. Yes, she was fabulous tonight, but I still see her holding back at times, and I know she has more. Amber has coordination through her entire body, and that ordinarily takes a long time to develop in ballroom. This was a fantastic routine and a fantastic night for this couple! And Len, seriously? Awesome job! 9.
Jack Osbourne: Up next, the Paso Doble from Jack and Cheryl. How well does Jack tune into his inner sexy, Latino-dancing, beast? Not bad! Sexy? Absolutely! Latino-dancing beast? Not as much, but still good. Jack had some great moments, some great lines, and intensity. Often times, when the celebs try to emulate the intensity of this dance, it translates into stomping around the floor, rather than feeling the intensity through the sharpness in their moves. Overall Jack-O, not your absolute best, but still pretty dang good. 8!
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi: Nicole and Sasha's Foxtrot was such a feel-good dance and it was really nice to see Nicole in this role. Her top line was nice, but I would like to see her work on smoothing out her steps, rather than popping up and down, to create a quality that the "smooth" and elegant foxtrot is known for. Otherwise, great job, Nicole! 8.8.
Corbin Bleu: Last but not least, Corbin and Karina. WOW!! What a cool dance. It completely captivated me from beginning to end. I do agree with Len, although it was a great dance, it did lack content. But then again that's to be expected when you are given an unconventional song such as the "Game of Thrones" theme song. Aside from the content critique, I have nothing negative to say. Great job! Len, come on with the 7?! Get outta here, 10!
The 'Switch-up Challenge': I'll be honest when I heard them talk about the "Switch-up Challenge," I thought it was going to be a hot mess, but it was exciting. The couples fared a lot better than I would have imagined. Corbin and Karina clearly won in their group, but when it came to the other group, it could have been anyone's game.
Overall: Another exciting night! I must say all the couples are doing a great job and so are the pros for bringing out the best in their celeb partner. Until next time!

Natural Remedies for Dust Mite Allergies
Over 60 million Americans have an indoor allergy. And dust mite allergy is probably the toughest one to fight.
Dust mites are insects, so tiny that hundreds could fit on the head of a pin. They eat dust as well as dead skin and hair cells that our bodies shed. That's why they live where those cast-off cells collect: in mattress and pillow fibers, towels, clothing, carpeting and upholstery. Mites also eat animal fur and dander, so they gather where pets eat, sleep and play.
The actual cause of dust mite allergy is Der p1, an invisibly small protein particle found in mite droppings. In a lifetime, mites produce 200 times their weight in droppings, all of them full of Der p1. Instantly airborne, these allergen particles can travel for many yards. That's why no amount of cleaning can eliminate them. They're everywhere.
In most people Der p1 is totally ignored by the body. In sensitive adults and children, however, the immune system mistakes it for a dangerous virus or bacteria. In an effort to eliminate infection, antibodies rush to the nose, eyes, lungs and surface skin where they bind to Der p1 particles, trying to destroy them. It's the binding process that actually causes symptoms such as puffy-red eyes, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, headache, itchy skin, hives or rashes, exhaustion, shortness of breath, even arthritis-like joint pain.
Experts know that dust mite allergy is a cumulative response to Der p1. In other words, prolonged exposure to mites will eventually lead to an allergic response. Children are at highest risk. In fact, living in a home with high levels of Der p1 makes any youngster 500% more likely to develop asthma.
Use an indoor allergy neutralizer. All-natural Easy Air Organic Allergy Relief Spray and Organic Allergy Relief Laundry Rinse are good examples. They instantly destroy Der p1 and the benefits last for weeks.
Use pillows filled with polyester fibers instead of feathers.
Wash bedding weekly in very hot water (over 130 F) and dry it in a hot dryer.
Vacuum carpets at least twice a week. Use a vacuum with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter. Experts say that this can eliminate up to 90% of the contaminants that provoke dog allergy symptoms.
Easy Air Organic Allergy Relief Spray makes your home an allergy-free oasis! Family-friendly formula.

Hello ! have you thought about black himalayan slate tiles? they are beautiful in person and would add a nice contrast. you could also update your cabinet hardware to black! just a thought.......... |
You know, I had a very similar problem when picking a backsplash. Everything I looked at seemed to compete with the granite, in all honesty. I'm a pretty simple person, so I ended up with a very inexpensive and plain ceramic backsplash (you can see my pics here. Keep in mind that I'm not thrilled with how the overall aesthetic of my kitchen came together (LOVE the functionality, just didn't plan the colors/design out that well.) But I think it would've been a mistake for me to go with a busier backsplash. For the same reason, I think I like your third option the best. Although it is a tad bright... do they make it in more of an off-white tone? You could also go with something similar to mine, I think - something that complements and doesn't compete with your granite, which is the main star of the show, you know? Katie |
I do appreciate your help and for taking the time to respond! katie- I love your kitchen redo- I think your dark cabinets are gorgeous enough and contrast enough that your simple backsplash works well. May I ask the name of the tile? I like the subtle variation in color-I'd love to see it in person. Larryghecht-I've never seen black himalayan slate tiles- do you have any links to photos? I will ask at the tile shop. It sounds intriguing. Boxerpups- you are so awesomely helpful with your photos! I have just recently joined this forum and have noticed how often you help people with your photos-how kind of you to take the time to help. What a great resource your photos are. They give me encouragement that I can make this work. I am going to print out the photos and take them to a few tile shops and see if they can find some of them. I especially like photos 1, 2 and 4 (are 1 & 2 from the same kitchen?). Do you have any info (links, or whatever)that might help me find out what tile they used? I'd love to see a close up of number 4. Even number 3 looks intiguing--though would it look too busy with a busy granite, do you think? Thanks again. |
Hi Fun2Learn, 1,2,3 are NOT the same. Ironically 1 an 2 were recently You might find some information or ideas from the links ~boxer Mosaic Tile Co. Mosaics Source Modwalls SusanJablon |
Thanks for the quick response, boxerpups. I am heading out to the tile stores, so I appreciate it! I forgot to ask you--what is ORB that you mentioned in your first reply? |

Hi fun!! I think Boxer might be right about the paint color. To me the yellow reads very light and pastel-y. I think a rust color or other darker warm tone will bring the room in and down and make it seem cozier (which the color of your cabinets already do, and they seem to be competing with the wall color.)If the other colors in the room complement the golden and cream tones in the countertop I think it'll read more like the cream you love in it, and less like the gray. That being said, I like the first backsplash choice because of the deeper warm tones in it, but agree that the gray is a bit too cool and blue-ish. Can you find a slate that has more of the auburn-y brown color of those same ones you posted, without any of the funky gray?? Or even better, a more solid tile that is just the auburn/golden color?? That is the part of the slate that really makes your countertops pop, and that would let the busy pattern of the granite shine. Just don't get "matchy" witht the cabinets. Boxer posted some great kitchens, and it shows very well how a counter like yours can be made to look more gray or cream just by changing the backsplash. So if warm and creamy is what you want for the countertops, thats the direction I'd go in the backspalsh and paint color. But I would say DON'T try to match the cream, rather try for the golden color, or one shade darker, otherwise it's going to read kinda bland and washed out. If it were my kitchen I'd do a deep red or auburn brown slate. It would be bold for sure, but with a new paint color the cabinets and countertop would look really great, and cozy. |
Oh wow! You are lucky to be only doing the backsplash and granite-your kitchen is adorable! I love your granite, esp with the wavy penisula. Boxer's ideas are perfect and I'm sure the tile salespeople will help you out. Our tile shops here help you with design, you just need to call & make an appt (and bring your cab/granite samples!). |

this is what I was trying to explain.... new paint color: Gotta love cut and paste in the paint program!! |
One of my friends just build a house with a similar granite to yours, and she used the most delicious chocolate glazed subway tile as her backsplash. It is absolutley stunning. Not sure if it would work with your cabinets, though. Hers are an off-white with a chocolate glaze. |
So sorry. ORB is oiled rubbed bronze. Forgive me, I use acronyms to avoid having to type to much. |
You ALL are totally awesome for helping (sorry if I sound like a teenager!) Great ideas and advice. You all are so right about the paint color--I can see it now. Thanks for taking the time to show me examples! (The existing paint is actually more of a gold- but looks yellow in certain spots and colors). I love those examples of the darker red backsplashes, boxerpups, with cabinets similar in color to mine. Red wouldn't match anything in my house, (I know you weren't suggesting that)but maybe a burgandy or maroon or rust would! Noobee- I can't get over how that darker backsplash you did (in the cut and paste you did over my kitchen photo) makes the cabinets and granite pop and ties it all together. I love it! I think that seems to be heading in the right direction--though perhaps the exact colors and pattern need tweaking. I love the look! Though there isn't any actual brown in the granite, some of the garnet does appear brown-here and there. Do you think I'd need to have gray in the backsplash to tie in with the granite if I went darker, with mixed colors, like that? I have been visiting a few tile shops, and even the salespeople there have been having a hard time finding the right solution for me. One lady who was working with me is even a trained interior designer. She was thinking darker would work, too, but was having a hard time finding just the right tile. So I really appreciate your suggestions. |

Hello again Fun... the paint program was already installed on the computer (I've used it on many computers over the years) Its pretty easy to use, try searching on your computer for it (I use windows.) I don't think you need any gray in your backsplash if you don't want it, and it won't look like your granite isn't tied it. As long as there is either a complementary color (meaning 'not clashing' not necessarily 'matching' if that makes sense to you.) Plenty of people use white subway backsplashes with wood cabinets and black countertops and the white doesn't match or tie into either one!! If you see a garnet color or a brown thats close to it... or at one point you mentioned that there were golden swirls in the granite, so if you see something close to that color, thats what I'd go for. The more gray you add into the backsplash, the grayer the countertop is going to look, no matter what light its in, I think. |
Thanks Noobee for the info. I did find the paint program on my computer. I'm going to try it now! |

Fun2Learn---try this website--www.flooranddecoroutlet.com--they have the black himalayan slate for a mere quarter for each 4x4 piece. Wow...my friend did his walk in shower with this and it is simply stunning! |
thanks, Larryghect, for the great link! Wow- that slate was only $2.36 a square foot! It looks like a charcoal gray in the photo- or is it a true black? they had lots of other stones , so I had fun looking and getting ideas. I figured out how to do cut and paste a photo of a tile onto a photo of my kitchen, so I will have to try some more out! Thanks again. |

The board also finalized its recommended dividend to shareholders based on its commitment to a continued expansion and a long term strategic view of its investment in regional markets.
"We are investing aggressively in our regional expansion," said Wataniya Chairman, Faisal Al Ayyar. "To this end, the board has recommended a stock dividend of 6% be put forward to the General Assembly. This reflects our aim to build long term shareholder value through strategic investments in regional opportunities."
As well as expanding its service offerings in the Kuwaiti market, Wataniya has delivered strong regional growth throughout 2003, winning licenses to operate networks in Iraq and Algeria. The company is actively pursuing other regional license opportunities and partnerships to further build its regional portfolio.
"Wataniya has embarked on a strategy of investing in new technologies that bring value added services to its subscribers and this has consolidated our firm leadership in the Kuwaiti market," said Wataniya Telecom managing director David Murray. "Moving forwards, we will be driving new services and capabilities for subscribers based on the most advanced mobile data and communications platforms in Kuwait."
Additionally, the board approved a rights issue of stock to named shareholders allowing the purchase of shares at a preferential rate of KD 1.5 per share rather than the current market price (standing at KD 2.6 as of this date). This issue will take place on the date of the General Assembly.
"Wataniya's stock remains a long term investment in regional growth," said Al Ayyar. "We're expanding our market in Kuwait by continuing to be a growing, competitive driver of value added services and new mobile applications. At the same time, we're building strong regional investments for the long term."

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
This story was based on author Ken Kesey's experiences while working at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, California. Director:
Chief Bromden: My pop was real big. He did like he pleased. That's why everybody worked on him. The last time I seen my father, he was blind and diseased from drinking. And every time he put the bottle to his mouth, he didn't suck out of it, it sucked out of him until he shrunk so wrinkled and yellow even the dogs didn't know him.
McMurphy: I can't take it no more. I gotta get outta here.

Especially if you plan to replace the standing rigging anyway. Good luck and just ignore all those cracking sounds when the mast comes up. BTW, I am still happy with my aluminum plates. Now I'm worried about the cross members they sit on. How in the world did the cross members on, I think it was, 510's boat tear away from the hull? What generated that kind of force?
Poor preparation in the hull prior to fiberglassing the joices from the looks of it, and soaked in bilge water for long periods prior to my owning the boat. I bought the boat basically from a lean sale for dock fees. The boat was poorly maintained when I purchased her.
I have had reservations and opt to remove the mast for repairs. So, its going to be awhile before I have completed this fix.

When only a single fish had been sighted, Randolph and Andy Shorten, co-owner of Maluku Divers, kept the find quiet to protect the animal. With more individuals being found, and having a better idea of where to look to find others, the two became comfortable enough to post images on the firm's Web site, see http://www.divingmaluku.com/new-frogfish.
"Seeking out these fish is probably going to be like the Holy Grail of divers for a while," Shorten says. Indeed just do a Google search for "new frogfish Ambon" on the Internet and up pops a lot of dive sites carrying news of the find.
"I don't think it will turn out that there are a lot of these animals but all that scrutiny will help us find out for sure," Shorten says.
For example, 35 years ago nobody realized pygmy seahorses existed but once they were discovered and people understood where to look for them, they turned out to be widespread throughout the ocean.
The fish were seen in 15 feet of water. It's possible the fish could be found at other locations, Pietsch says. All other anglerfish families have ranges broader than a single island group and ocean conditions like those at Ambon are found at various places across Indo-Australian waters.

Nine months after Colorado's worst flood, the musicians of Lyons are ready for a comeback
Thick sheets of rain started falling in Lyons on the night of September 11, 2013. Most people didn't think much of it until a few hours in, when sirens wailed through the deluge and a flat voice came over the town's public-address system: Floodwater warning. Move to higher ground immediately.Anthony Camera Gary McCrumb stands outside the remains of a home in Lyons' confluence neighborhood, where he lived.
The sirens interrupted guitarist Gary McCrumb's first date with a fiddle player named Jean Ballhorn; the two were playing songs in the kitchen of his 110-year-old house. McCrumb lived in the heavily wooded neighborhood at the confluence of St. Vrain Creek's north and south branches, and he went outside to investigate. He found six inches of water rushing through the alley and waded one block farther to the creek, which was already bulging at its banks. The scene looked surreal, like something out of a cartoon. "We need to get the hell out of here," he told Ballhorn.
See also: Telluride Bluegrass Festival's longtime MC reflects on Colorado's most storied music fest
McCrumb is not the typical Lyons resident from 25 years ago. He plays in a few bands and works as the performance production manager for the University of Colorado's ATLAS Center for Media, Arts and Performance. He has been a live-music engineer at nearly every major venue in Boulder County and invests in rare and vintage instruments rather than stocks and bonds. You didn't see many career musicians around in the late '80s -- the majority of the town's population worked in nearby sandstone quarries or commuted to desk jobs in Boulder.
But Lyons has become an artistic hub, and McCrumb and his ilk are a common sight today. The town is the headquarters of Oskar Blues Brewery, and every Tuesday night for the past ten years, the brewery has hosted an open-mic night called the Lyons Jam. It's a low-key affair -- except that the people on stage often have Grammys on their shelves or just got home from world tours. Lyons is now home to Sally Van Meter, who is among the most celebrated dobro players in the world; former national banjo champion Jeff Scroggins; and session drummer Brian McRae, who has recorded with Jerry Douglas, John Medeski, Sam Bush and others. Members of nationally known bands, including the Infamous Stringdusters, Bohemian Springs and Elephant Revival, live here. KC Groves, who co-founded the band Uncle Earl, moved to Lyons in 2001. These days, Groves says, "every third home is a musical home -- maybe every other."
Anthony Camera Planet Bluegrass president Craig Ferguson (right) with spokesman Brian Eyster.
Lyons's transformation was a gradual process. Rising costs of living elsewhere in Boulder County made the town attractive to the creative community, particularly those artists looking for proximity to the mountains. Businesses with an interest in music, such as Oskar Blues, helped, too. But no single entity has had a greater impact than Planet Bluegrass, an organization that produces three of Colorado's largest music festivals: Telluride Bluegrass, RockyGrass and the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival. It hosts the latter two on a twenty-acre ranch in Lyons that has served as the organization's headquarters since 1994.
It's hard to find a musician in Lyons who isn't connected to Planet Bluegrass in some way. Many, like Groves, were introduced to the town as either an attendee or a performer at one of the festivals. Others, like McCrumb, found work there. Planet Bluegrass, Oskar Blues and the people they attracted to Lyons have had an impact that goes well beyond particularly good jam sessions. Their influence helped the town reinvent itself in the mid-2000s as a thriving commercial and tourist destination.
Then came the flood. Last September, the heaviest rainfall in Colorado's recorded history led the federal government to declare a state of emergency in fourteen counties. None were hit harder than Boulder County, where the two swollen branches of St. Vrain Creek decimated Lyons, driving thousands of people from their homes and causing millions of dollars' worth of damage.

About This Project
I bought a dining table set just for the chairs a while ago and the table legs have been sitting there ever since. The rest of the materials were scraps from the shop. I never worry about matching wood types if I'm planning on painting it. Everything matches when you paint over top of it.
The chair is something I made a while ago. I realized I didn't want to make 3 more after hours of just making one. That's why I bought that dining set in the first place.

I love the sunny yellow and curve of the desk top.

How tall are the legs? I'm thinking about making something like this for my daughter's room.

They are 29" tall. I got those legs at Home Depot for $12 a piece.

'Dior and I' Review: The Most Ethereal and Cinematic Fashion Documentary
Movie Reviews By Nonfics on April 20, 2014 | Be the First To CommentA brand can be a powerful thing. Frederic Tcheng, director of Dior and I, is absolutely obsessed. This documentary about the famous couture house is peppered with shots of the name itself, hanging above the doorway of a shop or pasted onto an advertisement. Sometimes the effect is intimidation, other times adoration, but it is always at least brushing up against fetishization. Never quite slipping into insistence or redundancy, this leitmotif reminds of the power and dignity of the house, legendary since Christian Dior opened its doors in 1947.
This makes for a quite a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Raf Simons, the newest creative director of Dior and the ostensible subject of the film. He started work in April 0f 2012 and that's where Tcheng begins, leading with the moment when the new boss is introduced to the staff. Dior and I charts Simons's first collection from start to finish, from design to execution and the eventual big show. Everyone is nervous, most of all the man himself. There's a lot of anxiety, particularly because Simons was generally seen as an odd choice for Dior due to his reputation as a minimalist and his background in menswear. Everyone is worried and there is no shortage of pained faces.

The glazes in this collection show the richness in subtle levels of slightly varying saturation. Random edges of individual tiles will have a gentle darker tone. This is not an obvious difference, but a delicate and important element. The surface of the tile also has miniscule undulating irregularities that still maintain a refined and finished appearance.
With a reasonable price point and elegant trim options, the Stuccio Ceramic Collection is an excellent design option. The tile sizes range from 3″ x 6″ Subway, 6″ x 6″ square, and large 4″ x 8″ rectangles.
This series is a general stock item and ready for shipping to your jobsite.

Porcelain tile manufacturing has finally arrived at a point where even an expert can't tell the difference between real wood and our new tile collection. Manufactured using Full High Definition Digital Technology, we were blown away by the realistic color, texture and pattern of the Stelate Porcelain Wood tile plank collection. The design was inspired by gently weathered wood, however it retains a modern, progressive feel.
The colors pair well with large format white tiles as well as natural stone. Available in 2 unusually long sizes: 6 x 48 in. and 8 x 48 in. Unlike traditional wood floors, this porcelain tile never needs refinishing, is highly scratch and stain resistant, not to mention water and frost resistant. This means that Stelate tile can be used for almost any surface, such as kitchens, bathrooms, showers, living rooms, dining rooms bedrooms and exterior areas.
Another stocked tile for easy specification and shipment.

Designers have always loved the distinctly handmade quality of our classic Zumi series. We kept the same interest in the surface and incredible color formations through the glass, but in the new Zumi Structured series the edges are more smooth and straight. The artistry is still evident and the edges are still made to be unique. The surface of the mosaic retains its undulations and striations which create so much interest and character to the tile.
Certain tile colors in the collection are made from 70% recycled glass content. The Zumi Structured series is a stocked tile ready for shipment.

Shape, texture and space were the inspiration for this collection. Simple geometry applied to mosaic tile shapes bring the design of a space to another level. We kept the colors simple so as not to overpower the impact of these materials. This allows for these dimensional ceramic mosaics to be used to cover the walls of an entire room without weighing upon the visual experience.
Dimensional Ceramics are a general stock series and can be packed for shipment quickly.

Joan Chan of Studio Chan Architecture transformed this Upper East Side Manhattan pre-war apartment into a crisp, clean and open space. The color scheme is rich and luxurious, but limited to a select palette. This creates a calming and harmonious visual interaction with this interior.
In the spacious kitchen, Complete Tile fabricated a custom kitchen countertop from Mother of Pearl Quartzite Stone. Natural quartzite has recently found a new love from designers and architects for countertops due to its extreme hardness but also its scratch & stain resistance.
The area between the kitchen and dining room features the same natural stone quartzite countertop and the custom cabinetry incorporates a display for fine china.
The open plan from the dining room creates an avenue for the family to interact with each other during meals and allows light to drench the space from all sides. The ceramic tile textures on the walls of the kitchen add a subtle effect to the space.
For the kitchen backsplash and walls throughout the area, Joan chose Our Milk White V#21 Ceramic Skinny Tile 1-1/2" x 10-1/2". The glaze color of this tile has a wonderful subtle variation of sumptuous creamy white hues. The proportion of the thin long ceramic tile expands and elongates the space, while creating a calming horizontal direction to the eye.
This ceramic tile is hand-made in the USA, crafted by artisans. Its decidedly irregular surface and shape softens and counterbalances hard surfaces normally found in a kitchen, such as granite and stainless steel.
Notice the craftsmanship on the corners and details of the kitchen countertop.
For the kitchen floor, Complete Tile Collection furnished a warm grey limestone tile – Astor Blue Honed 16" x 16" which we custom cut to 8" x 16" in order to fit the proportions and concept of the space. While a limestone kitchen floor is not for every client, many choose to use this material. A little extra care is involved in maintaining limestone in a kitchen, but the natural elegance it presents is well worth the effort.
The kitchen island is made of the same Mother of Pearl Quartzite as the rest of the counter areas and is cut with a curved portion to facilitate movement and workflow within the space. The main sink and dishwasher are incorporated into the island.
The master bath was done in our Carrara Honed marble and is beautifully detailed. The transitions are absolutely impeccable and flawlessly planned. The shower ceiling has been tiled, which not only serves to unify and distinguish the shower area as its own space, but allows for the glass enclosure to fully close the space without creating a moisture issue if it were painted. One important area to note is where the glass shower enclosure meets the wall. A frame of Carrara Marble slab was created that serves as a delineation and solid definitive surface for the glass to adhere to cleanly.
A custom Carrara shower niche was created for ¾" slab and inset into the wall.
A simple and clean linear detail was incorporated using our Metro Liner in Basic Black Honed Marble. Notice how this liner intersects perfectly with the faucet controls on the wall.
The liner detail then passes under the second custom Carrara marble shower niche and aligns directly under the custom fabricated wainscot Cove Molding #5.
The bottom section of the marble niche even projects slightly forward to ground the floating rectangle in place.
The shower floor is made from slab and cut into an envelope pattern so it can be sloped towards the drain.
The corner area of the floor, where the base molding enclosure frame and shower curb meet is perfectly planned and executed. The main floor mosaic and linear border also integrate effortlessly.
The marble shower curb was custom fabricated into a dimensional profile with a cove detail to match the base molding, this serves to create an uninterrupted line. The floor shows our Custom Made Tight Joint Basketweave Carrara Claro Premium 2″ x 1-1/4″ Honed With 1/2″ Nero Dots. The mosaic is made with an extremely tight grout joint which makes for a more luxurious appearance with very little visible grout.
The wainscot Cove Molding #5 was custom made in 24" increments (instead of the standard 12"). When stone moldings are manufactured in longer lengths, the tile installer has fewer cuts to make. This serves to create a more intentional and custom look to the end result as there are less grout lines and segments. The important stone molding dividing the tile wall from the painted wall flows more distinctly.
A short corridor from the front door leads to the entry vestibule. For this space we created a custom colorway for one of our stone mosaic patterns. Our Empire Pattern Mosaic was made using polished Blanc Nuage Premium Onyx for the main field and Honed Astor Blue Limestone for the linear outline of the overlapping circles. Our stagger Stalks mosaic border was custom made in the same materials, which transitions the pattern to the Honed Astor Blue slab frame around the entire installation.
Our custom mosaic patterns are made by hand in the United States by a team of skilled artists. Each piece of mosaic in this pattern has been cut and clipped by hand to fit the planned detailing. It is the fit of the individual stone pieces in the detailing of mosaic pattern that differentiates a mass produced low quality mosaic from a high quality masterpiece such as this.
In this close-up, the planned detailing and precise hand fit aspect of the mosaic is evidenced. The background onyx pieces create their own subtle pattern within the context of the overall creation. The juxtaposition of the highly polished onyx with the gently honed limestone creates a subtly play on texture.
The guest bath was designed using our Vermeere Ceramic Tile Collection – True White Gloss 3" x 6" Subway Tile. The custom shower niche is fabricated from ¾" Thassos Premium Polished Marble and also set into the wall. The bathroom has an unmistakably clean and fresh appearance.
A White Thassos tub deck was created which rests atop a larger slab that composes the marble tub face.
The shower ceiling is also covered in white subway tile and the transition between the shower wall and ceiling is made graceful by the use of a ceramic tile molding. Our Vermeere Ceramics – Frame Rail Cap tile trim in True White Gloss was installed around the perimeter. A second custom Thassos shower niche was incorporated at a lower height.
Subway Tile bullnose trim creates a finished edge for the exposed terminating edge of the tiles. Notice that the tile molding has a special piece at the end point called a Straight Stop End. This molding piece serves to conclude the molding run in a clean manner.
The bathroom floor design shows our Opus Azul Mosaic Pattern in the Antique Tumbled finish. This mosaic is produced using 4 marble colors: Azul Celeste, Carrara, Thassos and Calacatta Gold.The pattern is modern, yet classic and the color blend is playfully sophisticated.
During production, the marble mosaic pieces are gently tumbled just the right amount to create a soft antiqued finish to the stone. They are then hand set on to a lightweight mesh and expertly blended by mosaic artists. The mosaic sheets then interlock with each other during installation to create a seamless floor.
The level of detail in this project was a joy to behold and our capabilities and products were used to the fullest by Studio Chan Architecture. Joan created a magnificent example of how bright and open a pre-war NYC apartment can be after talented space planning and clever material specifications.

Ultra-Short Bonds Beating Money Markets
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Federal Reserve recently announced its plans to keep short-term interest rates near zero for the next two years. That was bad news for shareholders of money market funds who will continue to receive tiny yields. To get better results, many investors should consider shifting some cash from money- market funds to ultra-short bond funds.
Of the money-market funds tracked by Crane Data, the highest-yielding choice today is Schwab Cash Reserves (SWSXX), which yields a puny 0.06%. You can do better with an ultra-short fund, such as Wells Fargo Advantage Adjustable Rate Government (EKIZX), which yields 2.27%. Make no mistake, the ultra-short funds come with more risk. But at a time when the Fed is holding down rates, the odds are high that top ultra-short funds will stay in the black for the next several years.
Before buying any ultra-short bond funds, keep in mind that they are very different from money market funds. Money markets invest in high-quality securities with average maturities of less than 60 days. Because of the cautious strategy, the money funds almost never lose principal.
Ultra-short funds hold bonds with maturities up to two or three years. If interest rates rise, bond prices can fall, and the ultra-short funds could lose money. But under the Fed's current policy, there is little chance that rates will rise until the middle of 2013.
Should you abandon money markets altogether? Not necessarily. If you need a parking place for cash that you must spend in the next 12 months, it can make sense to use a money market. That way you are certain not to lose any principal. But if you plan to hold the cash for more than a year, an ultra-short fund may be the right choice. In any given month, the share price of an ultra-short fund could sink temporarily. But if you can wait, the fund should eventually rebound.
Variety of Risk
Be aware that the ultra-short funds follow a variety of strategies. Some cautious choices stick with high-quality government securities. Other portfolios aim to boost yields by investing in lower-quality issues. During the downturn of 2008, some aggressive funds were pummeled, losing more than 10%.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I'm still dealing with a bad case of writer's block. And classmates who do everything at the very last minute when it comes to important group assignments. 'Cause, y'know, last minute is the new "on time" these days. And sometimes I hope it doesn't rub off on me, 'cause I used to be a world class procrastinator. But still I find myself procrastinating again, choice or no choice.
We humans live in the paradox of believing that we have all the time in the world yet wait for the adrenaline to kick in when we realize that we don't. Time is like a ride in an airplane: feels like it's moving very slow but in reality is going much quicker. Some will enjoy the ride, some will hate it. Time is a love/hate relationship.
Nah, I'm not complaining. Just trying to wake my brain up. It has a mind of its own, and it wants to be a rebel. A good rebel. A good one and a foolish one at the same time. It also lives in a paradox. It yearns to do good but rebels against the owner unknowingly.
Reminds me of a bible verse:
"For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate." (Romans 7:15)
It's 10 AM on a Monday and the first thing that hits my brain after I sit down to eat breakfast is this:
The blueberries in my blueberry oatmeal are purple. They should be called purpleberries...
Yep, that's how serious my writer's block is. But it did get me typing, right? It just formulated a domino effect to get me doing something at all. It's funny how that works.
And I just used a word that I normally don't use and unknowingly used it in the proper context... Formulated... Formulated... My brain knows things that I didn't even know I knew at all. Hah...!
Will the brain juices be running now? Will the juices be poured into a cup to become a nice drink or down the sink hole in a straight line? My creative brain juices also live in a paradox. They creatively find ways to talk about how uncreative they feel.
Just like those blueberries. 'Cause they're not really blue. They're purple.
And it's just like that. I'm not really blue. I'm just waiting to be free from a prison that my brain tries to lock me in against my own will. My feelings don't define me, nor does what other people think. Who am I to fear the pain of disappointments when I can just be...me? The misunderstood me who people find reasons to hate even when she tries so hard to maintain the peace. Why, let her speak her mind and not let her kill herself with the very idea that people will nitpick and call her an enemy for speaking what is true to what God put inside her heart. Stop being crushed by the filth that lives within the people who hurt your delicate soul for only wanting the best in others, for wanting the spiritual. Stop letting them kill you inside, for if they had a mind to listen they wouldn't be leaving you in the dust. They're broken. Just like you. But a different kind of broken.
Don't let them murder your spirit, for you are unable to die anyway. God made you alive again, so live like you are; you are a beautiful person who deserves to be loved like anybody else, and you don't need to feel guilt from it. So stop acting like you're not, 'cause God says you are. That's what I needed to tell myself. That's still what I need to tell myself.
And somehow, it all ties in together and starts to make sense.
All this. From blueberries in a cup of oatmeal.
If you yourself have been going through some recent hurt, you may also be surprised where you can find even the tiniest piece of inspiration to drive you forward.
God bless and thanks for reading!
