Steven Ehrlich architects delivers a huge, light-filled, worker-friendly warehouse in Los Angeles.
Play Slideshow >>
Bulk Order
Tom Bonner
At more than 300,000 square feet, how could the warehouse addition be least conspicuous? Ehrlich's office tailored each facade to respond, modestly, to interior functions. On the west side, a low Cor-Ten steel canopy shelters the entry and break room, while a softscape of native grasses obscures the building's bulk.
On the eastern side of the warehouse's north façade, a 70-foot-wide Cor-Ten steel frame projects slightly away from the building.
Tilt-up concrete, installed in panels 30 feet wide by 45 feet high, clads the south façade. Variations in the formwork give texture to the long expanse and make a design element out of a lowly fire exit.
From inside, it offers a panorama of the mountains in the distance, as with the clear glass used on the west side.
The architects wanted to give employees a view of nature-even when they're unloading boxes.
A patio with drought-resistant plantings marks the entry from the parking lot, which is bioswaled so that runo. from the asphalt percolates slowly back into the ground rather than flooding the storm drains.
Patterned in alternating bands of stained and plain concrete, this raised pedestrian walkway leads employees safely to break rooms on the west and east sides of the warehouse.
Integration between landscape design and architecture enhances a staff-friendly environment. Timber bamboo, fishtail palms, and other low-light-tolerant plants form gardens along the nearly 800-foot-long Main Street.
Steven Ehrlich, founding partner of the eponymous Culver City, Calif., architecture firm, could easily boast about the diversity of his portfolio, amassed over 28 years in practice: libraries, apartment towers, a biotech research laboratory, and a slew of beautiful, high-end houses, including a 35,000-square-foot residence in the United Arab Emirates sheltered under a massive, cantilevered canopy. Yet when a potential client cold-called and requested a renovation and expansion of a modern warehouse—a new building type for Ehrlich and his colleagues—the firm initially balked at the commission.
"We told them that maybe they'd be happier with an architect specializing in industrial buildings," says associate Mathew Chaney, "but they insisted." He was surprised that the client was willing to take a risk on a first-time warehouse designer who would be learning the significant technical requirements on the go; he was equally surprised by the owner's commitment to and investment in top-drawer architecture.
For the record, the client, a distribution company, is extremely private and wishes to remain anonymous. It seems paradoxical that such a client would actively engage a well-known architectural practice while avoiding publicity and remaining mum on its motives. A spokesperson would reveal only that the company's mission was to create a nice working environment for its employees.
Ehrlich makes the most of this perplexing duality. The design doesn't hold back, employing a bold palette of Cor-Ten steel, exposed concrete, and channel glass, materials that contrast with the building's bland neighbors. But it is modest on its site. Well, as modest as a 300,000-square-foot addition to a similarly large structure can be. "The client didn't want to be flamboyant or stand out too much," explains Chaney. And at this scale, rejoins Ehrlich, "It is hard not to make an iconic building."

The warehouse is located in an industrial suburb east of Los Angeles. Bordered by business parks, auto shops, and shipping facilities, it's hidden in plain sight. A pinkish brick façade of a 1980s vintage greets visitors as they pull into the parking lot. This building is a bit of a decoy; fronted by coral trees and azalea beds, the banal structure draws attention away from the new construction.
Still, it's clear where the new design begins. "It is as if they suddenly stopped mowing the grass," says Ehrlich. Conventional patches of lawn and sidewalk give way to rolling berms and a walking trail. Designed by landscape architect Pamela Burton, the gravel pathway encircles the 52-acre site and sweeps out and around the bioswale parking lot to the east.
Approaching this, the west side, it is easy to underestimate the size of the structure. The softscape, composed of drought-resistant native grasses and bluegray ice plant, obscures the warehouse's bulk, while a Cor-Ten steel canopy extends Prairie School–like from the façade, sheltering a glazed employee break room. The care taken in composing the various elements— plantings, terrazzo block, steel, and stained concrete—gives the entry sequence if not a monumental then a substantial scale. At the same time, it feels almost residential: The sliding roof and wall planes recall some of Ehrlich's house designs. Once inside, there is a view onto a courtyard filled with patio furniture. You almost have to remind yourself that this is a distribution warehouse.
The break room is streamlined, but homey. Chaney notes that he incorporated details developed within the firm for custom kitchens. Only the telltale vending machines give away that this is a commercial environment. FinPly cabinets, stained a warm chocolate brown, hold the battery of stainless steel refrigerators, coffeemakers, and microwaves needed for lunch. A twin break room is located on the eastern side of the building and is the entry from the employee parking lot.
Ehrlich refers to these two gathering areas as "nodes." They bookend a 777-foot-long expanse he calls "Main Street," or, as the owner's representative more dryly dubs it, the "raised pedestrian walkway." Both descriptions hold true, capturing the architect's community-building vision and the client's need for operational safety. "The challenge is balancing these specific functions of the big box—its efficiency requirements—with what it takes to produce a spiritual environment," says Chaney.
Running the entire length of the new addition, the main street brings humanity to the cavernous interior. The stained concrete walkway rises 6 inches above the floor, forming a curb that protects workers from the forklifts zipping cargo through the aisles. Industrial steel steps bridge the conveyor belts that stream in horizontal rows from the northern packing areas to shipping in the south. Bringing natural light deep into the warehouse, skylights track the length of the main pathway. Below, Zen-like planting beds with tall bamboo stalks and fishtail palms alternate with small seating arrangements and computer stations.
Aging in Place
The design has garnered attention from around the world on social media.

wow!! how Crazy is that. She got out with out many knowing!
Fox just showed her walking out the door
it was a shoving match

that was a fast trip home :O
looks like she was wearing her number shirt from court. Couldn't see her face, just the back of her head, she was under a black umbrella. At one point they mobbed her (after red ropes), and there was some pushing before she was herded into black SUV.

definitely a crazy mob scene.. was I seeing things or did JB shove/kick someone?

It looked like she tried to hide her face or either was trying to whisper (or blow ) in Jose's ear.
live feed slow loading
She appeared to be wearing the same outfit she was wearning when arrested. She also had her head down, but there was a brief moment where a camera caught her face and she was biting her bottom lip in what looked to me like stubborn determination to get to the car. (Gotta love DVR so I could rewind and watch in slow-motion!

Hmmmm, live feed not active yet.
Another feed here:
The question is... will Cindy continue to enable and coddle, as has clearly been done all of Casey's life? Or will the feelings associated with all of this bring forward a different attitude - one that will effectively enable Cindy to get the information out of Casey?
IMO, etc.
This truly makes me think there is not enough information to determine that Caylee has been murdered let alone by Casey's hand.
I just can't see them letting this whole bonding drama play out if they had the ability to hold her withhout bond by way of murder charges.
That footage shown of Casey's departure from jail, under the umbrella of suspicion, on Fox wasn't live though, was it?
That is going to be the most unpleasant household ever! -- all those people crammed into the house, all with their own particular brand of craziness intensified by anger and grief, with the press mobbed outside. Any bets on how soon there's a screaming match to beat all screaming matches?
It's help a mod month. (ok, I made it up)

text: The design elements and principles of my logo design are built blocks used to create handicrafts. The elements that I applied are lines, shapes and textures. The line marks are made with the pen and brush tools. I also used line to create other shapes as their ends meet. The principles of design for this logo is, balance by using form and white space for this logo and for the texture, I used the white circle to create finger prints texture. I used Century Gothic as my font type for this logo to create a grand and formal mood for this logo. The typo's size of handicrafts is big because it is meant to highlight the main theme which is "handicrafts". The main subject matter for this logo is fingerprints to represent the uniqueness of handicrafts. The line texture for the letters in the blocks represents fingerprint. The shape that forms this logo, "AE" represents the Award of Excellence, and the surface of the shape "AE" has texture of a fingerprint which represents each handicrafts is made by hands and they have fingerprints of handicrafts' artist on them. The texture of the fingerprints tells a story of how the handicraft was form with a lot of fingerprints on them. Each handicraft had their own identity which is represented through the fingerprints. I chose to use the fingerprints for my texture because it represents the identity of designer. As we should realize, each product is hand-made and there's fingerprints on the product. Each fingerprint is unique and I wish to apply this subject matter on my logo. The shape itself is a self-contained a modern style and have a clean cut to reflect latest style or design. It also reflects the concept of Form follows Function which means; all spaces has their own functions such as creating forms and a motive for the Award of Excellence for Handicrafts, the logo use white spaces to create a form of "AE". I'm using dark turquoise colour for my logo because I want to create a mood of fluorescence, ceremony, spirit and a classic mood. This colour is in dark fluorescent category. I also wished to show how we could use modern design to create a logo for traditional products with creativity, turquoise is the most suitable color that suits my design.

Jay-Z's $1.5 Million Lawsuit Over Spice Mix Recipe
Baby Blue Ivy isn't the only precious property of Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé. He also cares about his food. So much so that he has slapped his former chef with a $1.5 million lawsuit over a spice mix recipe.
More From Delish: 8 Unbelievable Food Lawsuits
The secret spice mix was used to coat the chicken wings at Jay-Z's club 40/40 in New York City, which are a favorite menu item. According to the New York Post's gossip column Page Six, chef Mike Shand was hired to revamp the menu of the sports club earlier this year. He was subsequently fired, according to the court papers, for, "costing the club lost profits, loss of good will [and] alienation of clientele." Shand's lawyer Vik Pawar told the New York Post that in fact the spice mix recipe was one Shand already had in his culinary repertoire. "The spice-mix recipe that Mike developed is his own recipe. 40/40 terminated him, then had the audacity to sue him for his recipes. He gave them all apart from this spice mix because it is his own."
More From Delish: Restaurants Go to Court for Right to Serve Heart Attack-Inducing Food
Jay-Z is not the first celeb to have a beef over recipes. Jessica Seinfeld, wife of Jerry and author of Deceptively Delicious, was sued in 2010 by Missy Chase Lapine, who accused her of stealing recipes from her cookbook, The Sneaky Chef. According to the New York Daily News, the case was dismissed by the judge, who said to Lapine, "You make purees and put them in these recipes? That's it?" The judge followed up with, "I don't think one needs much cooking expertise to know this."
In other Seinfeld news, ABC News reports the real-life "Soup Nazi" was sued in June by Soup Kitchen International, which claimed to own the chef's company name, The Soup Man and those famous soup recipes that sparked the parody on the popular sitcom Seinfeld. The multi-million dollar legal battle may mean no soup for you, Soup Nazi!
Do you think anyone can "own" a recipe?

GQ: What's it like being a screenwriter for major studio films these days?
Scot Armstrong:
Well, I've been lucky enough where Todd and I had a lot of success early on and that's given me momentum to do things on my own, too, and I think that we've been lucky enough to have a lot of stress from Warner Bros. Studios and Sony lately to do things we want to do. I think that comedy kind of goes in fashion cycles, where studios will try and imitate what was hot last year or what was done recently. They're always looking for a guaranteed format for what comedy is going to work. I like to count myself as someone who doesn't follow that stuff and someone who's just trying to invent stories and characters and movies that are just funny and work because they're good and not because they're a slight variation that were hot a few months ago.
GQ: Have you wanted to do something people won't respond to?
Scot Armstrong:
I'm trying to get this movie called Will made, and it makes no sense that it hasn't been shot. It's a fantastic script from Demetri Martin, it is an existential comedy, but it's really funny and it's something that I think is a perfect example of what's wrong with, if the system has anything that aren't working on all cylinders, it's the fact that Will hasn't gotten shot. At one point we had Zach Galifianakis and Paul Rudd attached and it's a fantastic cast, and the budget wasn't even very high at all, and that fell through... studios haven't wanted to take chances on movies that aren't sort of an 80-mile-an-hour fastball down the middle and Demetri is a first-time screenwriter so he doesn't have a resumé of big-budget film hits. I think we're gonna get it made. It's probably my favorite script I've read in the last 10 years.
GQ: Is that part of what you do? Trying to get projects greenlit?
Scot Armstrong:
That's a huge part of what I do, I'm working here at American Work Inc., a production company I started with Ravi Nandan about five years ago and I come from my theatre background, Upright Citizens Brigade especially, I see so many people with raw talent that have the ability to do fantastic things and you see people get bad advice or led the wrong direction. That's how the company started, just trying to help people and develop and produce the things they want to make. The whole point is to bring peoples' vision to life in the right way and give them the benefit of the... I've probably been in about 2,000 meetings so if I can tell people what they're gonna hear before they hear it and we can put together a script and a presentation that will make something that the writers are proud of but gets made and released.
GQ: What do you say when people ask for advice about starting out as a screenwriter?
Scot Armstrong:
The number one trick to screenwriting is to sit your ass in a chair and type, type, type, and stop talking about it. There's no way around working your ass off.
GQ: There is a strange culture of neurosis around screenwriters who never finish that thing. Do you suffer from that?
Scot Armstrong:
For me, I don't know what it is, I'm kind of OCD about making sure it's finished and tight. But my other advice would be keep your nose in your notebook. Too many people are surfing the web and trying to figure out the politics of getting a movie made or taking meetings and trying to get someone to read something instead of creating a truly great script, because something great has a great chance of getting made, but something average that you've sort of talked people into reading doesn't have as good a shot.

Watch Chargers vs Raiders live stream online free NFL games 2012
Watch Chargers vs Raiders live stream online free NFL games 2012.
Watch San Diego Chargers vs Oakland Raiders live stream online free NFL games 2012.
Watch NFL Games 2012 live on PC, iPad, iPhone and Android.
The 2012 NFL season, the 93rd regular season of the National Football League, is set to begin Wednesday, September 5, 2012, and will end with Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday, February 3, 2013, at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
Here are some of the legitimate ways to watch NFL games beyond those available on over-the-air broadcasts and basic cable:
•With the software(the best way):
Watch online now: Satellite Direct.
•Many games are offered through the NFL Network channel. You can order this from your cable or satellite provider. This channel carries all the preseason games, weekly season games and hosts the popular show, NFL Total Access. It also includes "NFL Replay," which offers the five best games of the week.
•For a free but legitimate viewing option, check out Hulu's NFL page online. You can watch past games, highlights and interviews. Just look under your favorite team's name or in the Game of the Week section.
Can Chargers find offensive rhythm? The Chargers are going to be rusty on offense Monday night at Oakland. The team had several injuries on offense in the preseason and the first unit really didn't get much time together in games this summer. Quarterback Philip Rivers didn't even play in the third (and most important) preseason game because of injuries on the offensive line. It could take time for this unit to come together.
Instant bad memories for Oakland: In the last game that counted in Oakland, after Denver lost at home to Kansas City, all the Raiders had to do was beat the Chargers to go to the playoffs for the first time since 2002. However, San Diego, which was eliminated from the playoff race the week before, hammered the Raiders 38-26, keeping them out of the playoffs. It also cemented Hue Jackson's departure from Oakland. Now, the Dennis Allen-led Raiders can get off to a good start in 2012 by handling the same Chargers.
The Thomas-Taylor showdown: Stepping onto the field in Denver on Sunday night will likely cause Pittsburgh cornerback Ike Taylor to shake a little. On the last play of a game that counted on that field, Denver receiver Demaryius Thomas stiff-armed and badly beat Taylor on his way to a 80-yard touchdown pass from former Denver quarterback Tim Tebow on the first offensive play of overtime to give the Broncos a wild-card-round victory over the Steelers. The play will live forever in both Denver and Pittsburgh. I'm sure Manning will try to create some new memories for Thomas and Taylor if the opportunity presents itself Sunday night.
The Peyton Manning era in Denver finally gets under way Sunday night against the Steelers after months of anticipation from the football nation. Perhaps the best part of the anticipation is the debate among the fans about the degree of success he'll experience after missing the entire 2011 season and having four neck surgeries.
Warnings of dire consequences with officials new to the NFL game were unfilled in a sleepy performance by the replacements. The most egregious miss of the evening was a missed holding call on Cardinals offensive tackle Levi Brown in the first quarter on a play that would have likely resulted in a safety for the Saints.
The refs, led by former Big Ten official Craig Ochoa got off to an embarrassing start. He flipped the coin and called the wrong results, correcting himself as the player captains walked away from the coin toss.
For the most part, the refs kept their flags in their pocket and were relatively inoffensive. Nevertheless, it does not appear that the replacements will be heading back to Division II or even retirement anytime soon, so the quality of the officiating will continue to be a concern as the preseason continues.
As we get ready for the start of the NFL regular season, what better way to ring the bell on the latest round of Cowboys vs. Giants than to look at the talk that has been going on?
If you want to find trash talk for this game, all you have to do is find Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr, because he has been all over the media about his distaste for the Giants.
Here is what Carr told the media on Monday about this rivalry that he is about to partake in for the first time. (via CBS New York)
"They've had great success, winning two Super Bowls in the past five years, however it is. I think guys are kind of getting tired of seeing that. So now it's to the point, guys are getting fed up. It's pretty much the attitude, 'When is it going to be our time?'"
It's not exactly the most noteworthy quote, but it does give a glimpse into the psyche of where the Cowboys are at right now. They want to be where the Giants are so badly that it is taking a toll on their minds.

Afghanistan war: lessons from the Soviet war
In the Marjah offensive of the Afghanistan war, a reporter hears echoes of the Soviet war.
Edward Girardet/file
Lashkargar, Afghanistan
It was early summer, 1982. The Soviet war in Afghanistan was gathering momentum against the mujahideen, the country's disparate but increasingly widespread resistance movement. I'd just trekked for 10 days across rugged mountains from neighboring Pakistan to the beleaguered Panjshir Valley, an assertive thorn against the Red Army's might barely 40 miles north of Kabul.
I was traveling with a half-dozen mujahideen guerrillas accompanying a French medical team being sent to replace a group of volunteer doctors working clandestinely among the civilian population.
My purpose was to report on the largest Soviet-led offensive against the mujahideen to that date. More than 12,000 Soviet and Afghan troops would attempt to crush 3,000 fighters led by Ahmed Shah Massoud, known as the "Lion of Panjshir" and one of the 20th century's most effective guerrilla commanders.
Last month's NATO-led operation in Marjah in Helmand Province – the largest offensive of the current war – put me in mind of the Panjshir. There are clear lessons from the nearly decade-long Soviet occupation that the international community might heed in its ninth year of war in Afghanistan, with the biggest battle campaign now under way.

Unfinished Wood Furniture: The Spice of Your Interior
Many people, especially those who desire to express their individuality, often search for some thing which may satisfy this desire. You may also decorate your room with some wood type furniture such as a table, a cupboard, a chair or any other, and this piece of interior will attract the attention of your guests as soon as they enter your home. A piece of unpolished, natural furniture has the variety of advantages over finished wooden things. Also there are several important details about types and features of the untreated piece of furniture which should be taken into account before the purchase.
The first advantage of unfinished furniture is its relatively low price. In some cases untreated cabinet costs 50% less than the same finished item. The price of the product depends on the type of wood and assembly quality. Most often unfinished furniture is made of pine. More expensive pieces are made of oak and other valuable wood materials. It is better to choose furniture which is already sanded.
The second advantage of unfinished cabinetry is that it may fit any decor in your house. Let's presume that your wall unit is of very rare color and you cannot choose a hutch of the same color which could be so beautiful addition to your room furniture. In this case the purchasing of unfinished wooden hutch is a perfect way out. It's like a clean artist's canvas. The paints for furniture are not expensive, and they may be purchased at any hardware store. Also, if your piece of furniture is made of solid wood you can improve its look by applying to it only a base lacquer. It protects the wood from moisture and physical damage. Moreover, the original wood color will be preserved.
Treatment of the Unfinished Furniture Item
The process of painting includes several stages. First of all, the wood must be covered with priming. You should apply the primer everywhere including drawers and inner surfaces. For better result the priming may be repeated twice. Two hours are needed for drying it. When the whole piece of unfinished furniture is properly sealed then it is ready for staining. Painting may be done with the help of oil paint, latex paint, and water paint. Latex paint is the perfect choice for pinewood unfinished piece of furniture.
You may choose matt or glossy paint. The paintbrush should be large enough to cover wide areas of the wood. The paint is applied in coats. For better color consistence of your furniture it is recommended to apply two paint layers to it for marble effects. Indeed, you have a blank canvas to make really amazing and incredible things!

One evening last winter, as her child lay suffering from a severe upper-respiratory ailment, Gwen Thomas found herself in desperate need of a vaporizer — and a search through her kitchen produced a quick and effective solution. The Marengo, Ind., mother poured boiling water into her Crock-Pot and plugged in the low-energy appliance in her young daughter's bedroom. She applied Vicks rub around the top lip of the pot, left the lid off, and set the heating element on "high." The room's air stayed moist, mild and lightly scented all night long.
Speaking of dual-purpose appliances: When her family gave up caffeine, Canadian Eileen Palmer put her automatic drip coffee maker to work in other ways. One day, as she rinsed and drained her alfalfa sprouts — and watched with dismay as many of the little seeds slipped down the drain — it occurred to her that a coffee filter would prevent that loss. Now, she places her seeds in the paper-lined upper portion of her unplugged coffeemaker and filters the rinse water into the pot (for use in soup or for watering houseplants).
Later, Eileen discovered another ingenious use for the system: She fills the top paper filter with fresh, homemade yogurt and allows it to drain overnight (with the pot catching the nutritious whey). In the morning she has a soft and delicious cheese.
When Sandra Price was a little girl, she'd help her father every weekend as he cleaned the church prior to Sunday services. Her job was to sweep the concrete floor in the large basement room that was used for meetings and receptions. Sandra says her dad would always sprinkle used coffee grounds all over the floor before she swept. The semi-damp grains picked up dirt fast, kept dust from flying about as she worked and made it easy for her to tell where she had swept and what areas were yet to be done. Sandra still uses coffee grounds today to keep her garage and patio floors clean.
Long hard winters are rough on boots. When Barbara Jones's favorite, warmest snow boots wore down so badly that the soles were slippery, her husband rescued them from early retirement by drilling holes in the bottom of each boot and inserting snow-tire studs. He secured the little spikes in place with epoxy, and now — Barbara reports — she can maneuver with complete ease and safety through the ice and snow around their Colorado neighborhood.
If your fruit trees tend to blossom too early in the spring, thereby making themselves vulnerable to late freezes, take a tip from Mrs. Charles Fryar. This reader from Indiana just packs snow, three feet high, around the trunk of each tree and then stacks straw around the snow to discourage melting. Thereafter — even though it may feel spring-like outdoors — the tree's internal warning signals tell if that the weather is still too cold for blossoming time. (Be sure, of course, to remove the straw and snow when frost danger is over.)
Glen Seaver, Jr. writes that his favorite liniment is homemade, costs little and works better than any other he's ever used. All he does is combine an ounce of rubbing alcohol with 12 five-grain aspirin tablets, add half an ounce of oil of wintergreen and shake the mixture well. Glen lets the concoction stand until the aspirin is dissolved, then applies the liniment to his sore muscles. (He cautions that the oil of wintergreen makes the liniment hot if it's rubbed in, so be sure just to pat the soothing remedy on gently.)
When bridling a horse in cold weather, it's always a good idea to warm the bit before attempting to place it in the horse's mouth. Sue Peeler writes that she takes care of the matter by simply tucking the whole bridle inside her coat while she attends to the grooming of her steed. By the time the animal is brushed, saddled and cinched, the bit is warm and the bridle straps are flexible enough to be easily fastened.
And here's another "horse sense" idea from Daniel Gorham. In the winter, Dan ties burlap bags (being careful not to make the binding too tight) on his horse's feet to help prevent the animal from slipping on ice or packed snow. (The burlap also keeps snow from building up under the hoofs.)
K.L. Hollingsworth of gets his garden seeds to sprout early (and achieves a high germination percentage) when he places newly planted flats on top of the refrigerator in his house. The cooler's motor supplies the level of low heat necessary for the seeds to germinate rapidly.
Although snowdrifts blocking your driveway can be a nuisance, pickup owners can actually turn such problems into assets. Wayne Fugate suggests that, as you shovel your way out of the drive, you load the bed of your light-footed truck with enough snow to provide the extra traction you'll need when navigating icy highways. Then, as the roads clear in intermittent warm spells, the load will also melt, saving you precious gasoline until the next winter storm blows in.
Instead of putting leftover dinner vegetables in the refrigerator (only to be forgotten, all too often, and thrown out two weeks later), Candice Kapets places uneaten veggies in a large container and freezes them. When the plastic box is full of an assortment of goodies, she dumps them all into a pot, adds a bay leaf and some stock (plus whatever other ingredients she has on hand), and creates a super winter soup!
Linda Harmon puts her bowls and pans of dough on her heated waterbed every baking day. Linda says the mattress's constant 85 degree Fahrenheit temperature is perfect for bread dough and the loaves seem to appreciate the warm bed almost as much as she does!
Ms. Binder places towel-covered bowls of bread dough in a still-warm clothes dryer (with the motor off, of course) and finds that the dough rises beautifully. This way, baking and laundry chores can be combined without having to raise the house thermostat.
Moving wood from the woodpile to the house across snowy ground can sometimes be a difficult chore. But up in Wanamingo, Minn., Dale Fredrickson made it an easier task by devising a sled from two basement window guards (those pieces of galvanized steel that are often placed around below-ground windows in older homes to keep dirt away). Since the do-it-yourself toboggans are corrugated, it's possible to overlap one on the other, and fasten them together by simply running wire through the precut holes. Then, by attaching one end of a rope to the outer holes in the steel and tying the other end around his waist, Dale has managed to pull full loads over huge drifts.
"When you take down your cut Christmas tree, lean the evergreen against an outside wall or fence," writes Lise Dale of Corrales, New Mexico. "Redecorate the boughs with balls of birdseed, bits of old bread, suet-dipped pine cones, and other treats for winter birds. By the time your feathered friends have finished feasting, the dry tree can simply be laid on its side in an out-of-the-way spot, to provide shelter for squirrels and other small animals."
Cold winds blowing through a drafty house can really inspire wintertime creativity. Pam Wandler was looking for ways to keep her infant son warm in their backwoods Idaho home when she ran across some odd-sized woolen sweaters she'd picked up at yard sales the summer before. Cutting them down to his size proved to be easy enough, and Pam's been recycling bargain sweaters for her little ones ever since.
Here's how it's done: First, Pam cuts off the neck ribbing just below the seam and sets it aside. Next, she uses one of the child's own shirts as a pattern, to determine the correct size and shape, and cuts the body and sleeves as indicated below. After that, Pam simply turns the mini-sweater inside out and stitches up the open side seam. Then she sews the sleeves on — being careful to adapt the armhole opening to the size of the sleeve — and, finally, replaces (by hand) the salvaged neck ribbing. She now has an affordable 100% wool child's sweater.
Reader Jim Burnell creates his own handy little cookers to take along on camping trips or backpacking expeditions. Jim takes an empty tuna can, cleans it thoroughly, then cuts a strip of cardboard 1-1/2-inch wide and about 24 inches long. He tightly rolls that cardboard strip, inserts it in the can, and sets a cardboard wick in the center of the container. Next, Jim pours melted paraffin over the cardboard coil, filling the can up to 1/4-inch from the top. After the wax sets, Jim stores the little stove in his backpack and it's ready to provide long-lasting heat at the touch of a match.

Review: 4 supercool JavaScript tools for data visualization
Free, open source D3, InfoViz, Processing.js, and Recline.js bring dynamic, interactive -- and jaw-dropping -- data-driven graphics to the Web browser
Delivered to your desktop from around the Web, this seemingly endless variety of dynamic and interactive graphics allow news outlets and bloggers and merchants -- anyone with a website and access to a data source -- to present data in dynamic ways you'd never expect to see in a lowly browser.
[ Also on InfoWorld: The triumph of JavaScript | Test your JavaScript mettle in InfoWorld's JavaScript IQ test | Keep up with the latest developer news with InfoWorld's Developer World newsletter. ]
This age of interactive data visualization rests largely on capabilities provided by JavaScript libraries designed specifically for the task. In this article, we'll look at four such libraries: D3, InfoVis, Processing.js, and Recline.js. All of these libraries can be used to adorn your Web page with dynamic data visualizations, but each takes a different approach to providing that capability. And all four are free to use and redistribute under open source licenses.
D3 takes a sort of "ground-up" approach, combining the data structures already found in the DOM representation of a Web page with some of JavaScript's more esoteric capabilities. The result is both powerful and eye opening.
InfoVis follows a more conservative path. Its API is clearly delineated, and its use is easily grasped: Insert the chart objects and feed them data; InfoViz does the rest.
Processing.js, the JavaScript version of an initially Java-based graphical system, is not content to provide merely data visualizations, but is fully capable of the sort of animations you might find in video games.
Finally, Recline.js treats data visualization as one aspect of data exploration. While it prefers its data organized into fields and records, it is nonetheless happy to provide you with timelines, line graphs, or even geographical visualizations.

If you are having a party in the near future & you want something that little bit different why not create a spectacle with a glow in the dark jelly...
OK, so how do you make a glow in the dark jelly? The answer is simple - use Tonic Water
Make sure you buy tonic water with 'quinine' in it - this is a fluorescent compound that makes the jelly glow. Simply substitute the water with tonic when making your jelly. You may want to add some more sugar to compensate for the slightly bitter tonic taste.
When the jelly is set, serve it up with a UV light - the bigger the better the glow
& there you have it, a glow in the dark jelly

Talking About Teaching - Mentoring Student Internships
Mentoring student internships (for academic credit)
Our students are increasingly looking for internships to make them competitive candidates for jobs and graduate programs once they've graduated. Sometimes students choose internships that are unrelated to academic pursuits (and thus not credit-bearing). Other times students wish to connect their internships with their academic studies and they will petition to have the internship count for credit and ask a faculty member to serve as their faculty supervisor. In this Talking about Teaching lunch, Liselda Fabian, Internship Coordinator in the Career Development Center, will walk us through the guidelines of the INT course and the role of the faculty supervisor. Further, a panel of faculty and students will talk about the academic projects they assigned/conducted in tandem with their internship experience.
Lunch Included.

Mercury's win streak ends with loss to Lynx
JUN 19, 2013 11:01p ET
Seimone Augustus added 17 points and Janel McCarville had 10, including four during a decisive 13-2 run to open the fourth quarter, for Minnesota (5-1).
Diana Taurasi scored 28 points for the Mercury, who missed 16 of their first 21 shots and finished at just 34 percent. Rookie sensation Britney Griner had 10 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes as Phoenix (3-4) had a three-game winning streak snapped.
The Lynx trailed 60-56 going into the final period but took advantage of the Mercury's poor shooting. Phoenix made just 2-of-13 field goals in the fourth after gaining the lead on a run of its own in the third quarter.
Minnesota held Phoenix starter DeWanna Bonner, the second-leading scorer in the league a year ago at 20 points a game, to four points on 0-of-13 shooting from the field. Candice Dupree added 14 points for the Mercury, who shot just 4 for 21 on 3-pointers and were held 17 points below their league-leading average.
Despite shooting just 24 percent to start the game, Phoenix stayed within two points after one quarter and trailed by three at the break.
Moore led the Lynx with 18 points and 10 rebounds in the first 20 minutes as Minnesota took a 40-37 halftime lead. The Lynx then scored the first six points of the third quarter.
However, Taurasi scored eight points during a 17-2 run to give Phoenix the lead into the final period.

Specific applications require special surface properties different from bulk-phase properties, which can be tailored by surface modification, which in many cases is more efficient than the modification of the polymer material. Surface properties of interest are:
- charge
- hydrophility / hydrophobicity
- acidity / basicity
Methods used for the surface modification include radiation modification using high-energy electrons, and the application of polyelectrolytes, polyelectrolyte complexes, and polyelectrolyte multilayers.
Dedicated NMR methods like solid-state NMR and electrophoresis NMR are developed and applied for the characterization of functionalized polymers.
Applications include stabilization of dispersions as well as flocculation, the modification of membranes to adjust hydrophobility / hydrophobicity and to avoid the fouling and compatibilizing fluoropolymers. A future perspective is the realization of functionalities on a nanometer scale.
Fields of work
- Polyelectrolytes
- Development and application of special NMR techniques for modified surfaces

The Dutch: Preview of a Great Restaurant Review to Come
Categories: Review
Lesley Elliott |
The sprightly decor can be enjoyed in a more sedate ambiance during lunchtime and early-dinner hours. The rectangular space (formerly Solea) is broken up into more intimate areas by thick white brick columns. Walls are white brick too, and tables are blond wood It's a llight, clean-lined, contemporary-rustic look: IKEA meats Martha Stewart. A bustling bar stands at one end of the room, a marble seafood bar at the other. Between is a continuous ebb-and-flow of waitstaff, diners coming and going, and some people just passing through to see and be seen. A patio seduces more subtly, with foliage and softly glowing lanterns.
If the Dutch really were a party, it would be a well-hosted one with very good food and drink.
Stay tuned for the full review, due tomorrow...

If you're like me, summer means time reading by the pool, crisp & cool white wines, and a bounty of summer veggies gifted from friends and neighbors… and by a bounty, I mean a BOUNTY. I never get tired of carting in armloads of squash and tomatoes, but recently I noticed the the stack of veggies was starting to take over the kitchen counter. My friend Christina had the perfect solution:
- Pre-baked & beautiful! I love Christina's heart-shaped le creuset
She found a recipe by one of my favorite food bloggers, Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen for Ratatouille's Ratatouille and this recipe gets 5 stars from me.
- There is no such thing as too much thyme
I'm planning on re-creating this for our upcoming Montelena BBQ, I'm envisioning that this is going to pair perfectly with our 2006 Montelena Estate Zinfandel that has been tasting so nicely in our CellarMaster Tastings lately.

The pop legend got a little help from her friends — M.I.A., Nicki Minaj, LMFAO & Cee-Lo Green — and it was amazing!
It's no surprise that Madonna is one of the biggest stars in the world, but many people wondered if she would be able to carry the Feb. 5 Super Bowl halftime show. The results are in, and she rocked it!
Madonna, 53, was carried into the stadium by what seemed like hundreds of burly gladiators — and she immediately launched into an awesome remixed version of "Vogue."
The stage transformed into a futuristic disco-tech for a gravity defying performance of "Music," complete with tight-rope walkers. LMFAO even dropped by to add in a bit of "Party Rock Anthem." Seamless transition, boys. Well done.
M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj joined the party for "Give Me All Your Luvin'", dressed like adorable cheerleaders. We didn't even noticed them at first! They're stealthy, those two — like little cheerleader ninjas.
The Madonna extravaganza ended with an enormous choir — and Cee-Lo Green – joining Madge on stage for a powerful rendition of "Like A Prayer."
Viewers were left with an enormous sign reading "World Peace" in lights on the ground.
Do YOU think Madonna gave the most exciting Super Bowl halftime performance ever, HollywoodLifers?

Madonna was at her best tonight. Happy, joyous, and amazing. No pretension just glorious. She sang the last song live for those of you who have never seen or heard her when she is happy in her life. This is a turning point for her because she sang Like A Prayer better than I have ever heard her and I am going back 25 years. To you younger people hating on her age let me remind you that we all get older and no one should have to give up their dreams because of their age until they are ready. Not you. Them. Congratulations to Madonna for being able to show the world the real you. The one we have been missing.

Love her or hate her….No one seems to be able to ignore her. I wouldn't waste my time writing negative comments about someone I don't like. I guess those haters would never go to see Madonna in concert or never enjoyed dancing one of many Madonna anthems in a packed dancefloor. To much of a positive vibe in the crowd for people with such a bad and lukewarm attitude…

Come on, Madonna dropped out of college in University of Michigan with only $35 in her pocket and she relocated to New York in order to pursue singing. YouTube or Disney Channel was not around back then when they discovered Madonna. But she worked hard for it, so get real! Especially for the ones who grew up listening to Britney Spears or Justin Bieber.

He did clarify the Lane Construction numbers with Brian at the meeting. Grassett will bring his recommendation back to the Selectboard meeting next week, June 11th. NONPUBLIC: Jordan moved to go into nonpublic meeting at 4:07 p.m. under RSA 91-A:3,ll (a) to discuss a personnel matter; seconded by Mose; vote: Boland-aye, Jordan-aye, Mose-aye. Jordan moved out of the nonpublic at 4:15 p.m., seconded by Mose, unanimously approved. Jordan moved to seal the Minutes, seconded by Mose, unanimously approved. MAIN STREET: Grassett reported he has completed resurfacing 2/3 of the way across from west to east, in front of the Hancock Market and Fiddleheads Café. He is now waiting for better weather in order to complete the last segment and that will not be until next week. The two businesses have asked that it not be done on a Thursday or Friday as those are two of their busiest days. BANDSTAND: Grassett reported he has spoken with Mark Schaal about the cost to do the restoration. It has come in at a higher price than the town has funds for. They have determined they will do nothing above the ceiling at this time (no cross ties) but will keep the focus to the railing and below. The ceiling can be done when the roof is redone in a few years. The rest of the building will be done before the stairs are done. Timing has become an issue and Schaal doesn't feel he can now complete the job prior to July 4th. Work will commence after Old Home Day when everything will be ready to move forward. TOMBSTONE TERRITORY ROAD: Grassett reported on his discussion with Town Counsel regarding the pros and cons to accepting Nancy Boyce's offer to purchase the right of way for $1.00. It was determined there would be no advantage to the town owning it. There was agreement that the road be should be paved but not taken over. The estimates to do the work have been left with the owners of the Inn (the Coffins). Grassett will discuss the options with the Coffins. The town, the Inn and all the neighbors need to come to a mutual agreement. Grassett will thank Nancy Boyce for her offer but decline to accept it. LIAISON REPORTS: Elementary School Study and Conval Model Study Committee: Jordan reported he went to the meeting on May 26th and was told he is no longer a member of the Model Study committee. He then left the meeting. The Selectboard was sorry to hear that news after he has spent two years on the committee contributing his knowledge and helping to come up with reasonable options. Boland stated the committee needs to listen to all opinions. HEAT: Jordan reported several members attended the Grid Begone demonstration. Planning/Zoning: Mose reported he will be attending the joint meeting of the Planning Board and Zoning Board on Wednesday, June 6th. Jordan reported Des Ford has indicated an interest in being on the Nubanusit Landing committee. Jordan asked him to submit his name to Barbara at the Town Office. LIBRARY: Caverly reported on a call she received from Library Director Amy Markus inquiring about having a therapy dog. She is hoping to start a program of children reading to therapy dogs when she is able to find one. Boland stated service dogs, of which therapy dogs are included, will continue to be permitted in town buildings. POLICE REPORT: Wood brought some concerns to the Selectboard regarding the dog policy. He said he and Officer Hetrick use their dogs in public relations situations, i.e. taking them into the schools. The Police Department also acts as dog control hence they will pick up lost dogs and bring them to the station for 24 hours in anticipation of the owners coming forth. He said the policy needs to include business reasons. The Selectboard agreed to modify the policy to include service dogs and the continued business of animal control by the Police Department. The Selectboard will draft a written dog policy. NONPUBLIC: Mose moved to go into nonpublic meeting at 4:55 p.m. under RSA 91-A:3,ll (a) to discuss a personnel matter; seconded by Jordan; vote: Boland-aye, Jordan-aye, Mose-aye. Jordan moved out of the nonpublic at 5:35 p.m., seconded by Mose, unanimously approved. Jordan moved to seal the Minutes, seconded by Mose, unanimously approved. ADJOURNED: Jordan moved to adjourn at 5:36 p.m., seconded by Mose, unanimously approved. Respectfully submitted, Barbara Caverly Recording Secretary |

quote:Did anyone besides me wonder how they got all those signs printed and distributed far and wide, including to all the national parks and cemeteries overseas only eight to ten hours after the government shut down? Take a look at this from someone who wanted to remain anonymous. I have worked in the government once. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours. In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying this park, facility, etc. with custom logos closed due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, and government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies. This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process.

Sharp BD-HP52U: Costs $380; details to come
Sharp has announced the BD-HP52U Blu-ray player, which features a $380 price tag and will stream video from a content provider to be named later.
Sharp announced a new Blu-ray player, the BD-HP52U, at CEDIA today, which will come out in October with a list price of $380. It has the standard suite of Blu-ray features, including Profile 2.0 -compatibility and onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Sharp is promising that premium streaming video content will be available on the BD-HP52U, but the company isn't ready to announce who the provider is until later in the month.
Unfortunately, that's all the information available; Sharp hasn't offered up an image yet for the new player. Regardless, it will be hard for the BD-HP52U to gain much traction against competitors like the LG BD390 and the Samsung BD-P3600 , which offers up a wide array of streaming media content, along with premium features like 7.1 analog outputs, onboard memory for BD-Live storage, and Wi-Fi.

What are your prices?
Prices vary depending on design and size as each cake is individually made for you – so I'm not being secretive…honest! If you want a quote just send me the date of your event and how many people you need to feed with the contact form.
As a quick guide:
£120 £470
Where are you?
I'm in a little town called Bacup, Rossendale in Lancashire, UK. OL13
And nope sorry I can't ship overseas!…unless you want to pay for my airfare
Do you deliver?
Yes, we work out delivery charges at 80p per mile and can travel upto 2 hours away. For longer distances we can meet halfway and some customers travel on the train to collect. If you would like a delivery quote just send me your postcode
How do I secure a date?
£30 deposit will secure a celebration cake, and £60 will secure a wedding cake. That amount is then taken off the final balance, but it is non refundable. I work on a first come first served basis, so whoever gets their deposit in first gets their date! I accept cash, cheque, paypal, bank transfer, and postal orders. The final balance can either be paid in installments upto the day, or cash on collection.
How much notice do you need?
I've found my customers order way in advance (due to me taking a limited number each week) so they get organized! 6-12 months is best. However if a date has been missed or cancelled I can sometimes make them on 7 days notice so its always worth checking.
What if I don't know what I want?
Don't worry! I LOVE designing cakes, I'll grab some information off you and see if we can come up with something special together (in a none creepy kind of way! lol)
Why do you have a sister site called Little Cherry Cake Company?
I'm a huge horror fan at heart, always have been – but not everyone is! I can't see many people ordering a christening cake with zombies on it (though that would be pretty awesome!!), so I have to make nice pretty ones too The sites are seperate due to the nature of some of the cakes.
If you want to see the pretty cake you can venture to Little Cherry! Take me there!
But some of your more 'normal' designs are still on this website too….why?
Although alot of us would see a 3 tier cake full of cherries pretty 'normal', to some people who are used to just seeing white cakes with flowers it can seem a little different! So I've added just a handful here too to try and cater for everyone.
Do you have anymore pictures?
Of course, I have LOTS! You will find them all on my facebook page including close-up shots, behind the scenes and alternate angles. Feel free to come and join us, you will be included in competitions, latest news and its the place to be for the newest cakes!
I have a different question!
No worries, send me a message via the contact form and I will do my best to help – promise x

Love It!!
By Shelby1965
from Thunder Bay, Ontario
I just received my beautiful cardigan in the camel colour. I love the length and the larger fit. I am a 2X and i could have fit in the 1X in this garment, but i personally like the looser fit. I am thinking of getting a black one in the 2X if i can still find my size. Great cardigan Joan!!!

Great summer sweater
By lovemyjewels
from Ontario
Another winner from Joan Rivers. This sweater arrived yesterday and knew a soon as I took it out of the package that this was a good quality sweater. I like the long length and the pockets. The short sleeves make it a nice summer sweater that can be transitioned to fall and winter later on. I got the black and wore it with dark blue jeans, a white shirt, my blue candy coloured Joan earrings and a blue necklace. I always feel so polished looking in clothes from the Joan Rivers Classic collection.
By Jay B
from Montreal, Quebec
I bought this cardigan in black in size 1X. It is true to size. This cardigan is a must-have in every wardrobe. What I like most are the dropped shoulders, the dolman sleeves and the pockets. It feels so comfortable on and adds that chic look when worn over tees and blouses. It is made very well. This Joan Rivers cardigan is a winner.

Defendant Failed to Pay Withheld Employee Taxes and Penalties
WILLIAM ROBERTSON, 67, of Everett, Washington who owned and controlled various restaurants operating under the Hot Rod Café name, was indicted last month by a federal grand jury in Seattle for two counts of Willful Failure to Pay Over Tax and one count of Evasion of Payment of Tax. ROBERTSON was arrested by federal agents this week in New Mexico.
According to the indictment, in 2004 and 2005, ROBERTSON was the owner of the Hot Rod Café in Mountlake Terrace, Washington. During those years, ROBERTSON allegedly withheld approximately $36,503 from employees' pay for Social Security, Medicare and income taxes. ROBERTSON failed to pay this money to the government for his employees' taxes. Additionally, in 2005, ROBERTSON controlled HRC Enterprises, Inc. The company operated a restaurant in Mukilteo, Washington, which was also called the Hot Rod Café. The indictment alleges that ROBERTSON withheld approximately $2,951 from employee checks, but failed to make the payment for the Social Security, Medicare and income taxes.
The final count, Evasion of Payment of Taxes, concerns penalties assessed to ROBERTSON in 1996 and 1997, again for failing to pay the trust fund portion of employment taxes and withheld employee income taxes. Between 1992 and 1996, ROBERTSON operated various restaurants and was responsible for the tax payments. When ROBERTSON failed to make the payments, the IRS imposed penalties totaling more than $491,000. ROBERTSON tried to evade payment of these penalties by hiding his ownership of two corporations: Seabill Inc. and SMB Enterprises Inc., by filing false income tax returns, and by making false claims to IRS agents. Willful Failure to Pay Over Tax and Evasion of Payment of Tax are each punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
IRS agents arrested Robertson Tuesday in Las Cruces, New Mexico. On Friday, March 7, a United States magistrate judge released Robertson on an unsecured bond and ordered him to appear in Seattle to face the charges. The charges contained in the indictment are only allegations. A person is presumed innocent unless and until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The case is being investigated by Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI). The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Mark Parrent. For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office, at (206) 553-4110.
