Competitive Web Design for Small Business: PaisleyFarmhouse.com by ENGINE
There comes a point in any Southern girl's life when she daydreams of running a classy little shop packed with cool local crafts. Dianne Harvey went on ahead and did it: in May 2007, she opened the Paisley Farmhouse in Milton, Georgia.
And there comes a point in each entrepreneur's business plan where she has a choice to make… She can have a website that acts as a signpost, pointing people in the general direction of her store—set it 'n' forget it. Or she can bring some skilled hands into the kitchen to cook up an online presence with all the trimmings. Yep, you can guess which one a smart gal like Dianne chose.
She wanted a website that looks and feels as warm and fresh as her shop. She needed a way to turn casual buyers into lifelong customers. How can a small business become more than just a seller of goods? How can it become a community?
That's when ENGINE hopped on board.
The ENGINE Solution
We set out to craft a website that reflects the rural Georgia charm and Metro Atlanta flair of the Paisley. As for that whole community thing, devoting care to email marketing as a part of a cohesive branding effort has proved to be the winning recipe. And the whole thing needed a rock-solid foundation, strong enough to trust with the family business.
Let's take a look at each slice of the pie…
Design Solution: The Power of Patterns
PaisleyFarmhouse.com earned first-entry status in Smashing Magazine's Textures and Patterns Design Showcase for its "nicely packaged retro wallpaper tiles." A couple of interesting points about this background…
Most importantly, it's the best way to capture the new-old-school cool of the Paisley since much of the store's appeal is in making new products out of old materials. And here's a sweet feature: we designed this background to be easily made-over, meaning the site's decor can change quite a bit depending on seasons, special events, holidays… warm colors in summer, orange for Halloween, you name it.
Elsewhere on the design front… Tying in Dianne's classic family photos throughout the whole deal adds the ultimate personal touch. It's the kind of thing you'd see if you strolled into the Paisley during a Saturday open house… so why shouldn't you enjoy the same experience when dropping by the website?
We also took the time to incorporate photos that show what the store's many themed sections really look like. We want users to be able to say they've visited, even if they haven't. We're also rolling out e-commerce functionality soon, including distinct on-shelf photos for dozens of the store's most popular items.
Finally, the lace and ribbon on the left ties the whole package together, providing good balance with the navigation menu on the right. It all adds up to a singular impression: guests swear they're connecting with a salt-of-the-earth store with personality and heart, not just clicking around some website.
Branding & Marketing Solution: It's All About the Customer
The Paisley Farmhouse can't compete with, say, Hobby Lobby or Target on price, advertising presence, or shelf space. There's no room in the budget for self-glorifying thinkpiece commercials by some dumb-smart ad firm. But all that glitz and glamor is the secret to success, right? So why do so many of Dianne's neighbors schedule a weekly trip to the Paisley?
ENGINE helps Diannie stay in touch with her community by lending a hand in creating a useful, relevant opt-in email newsletter, whether that means we write pieces, help arrange stuff, design new images, or what have you. Packed with handy articles, enticing coupons, heartfelt stories, gift ideas, product news, and so on, the newsletter has a very high open rate. Meaning we've earned the trust of our customers. Just think how many companies try to crap spam on your inbox once a week… Now imagine having a newsletter that people actually look forward to.
We also dealt up a comprehensive branding package that relates what's best about the Paisley… from the store's logo, business cards, and bags, to local ads and hand-written gift certificates, ENGINE's design expertise helps tell the story. We even designed and set up the manufacture and install of the store's big sandblasted front signage, plus special event yard signs and in-store section banners.
A full-service presentation strategy… Didn't we tell you ENGINE's in it for the long haul?
Development Solution: Built to Last, Built to Serve
All these wonderful courses wouldn't amount to much without a nice, sturdy table to serve them on.
Content management is a snap with ENGINE's custom build of Drupal. All sorts of content—new products, newsletters, blog posts—are easy to post and keep track of. Plus, Drupal offers endless expandability. Drupal's clean and hearty development tools also boost the site's SEO capabilities. And the same local crafters that are eager to set up a table at Paisley craft fairs are also willing to pitch in articles that make their way into the newsletter or the site's blog. Drupal helps turn the typical guest-blogging fiasco into a well-run potluck of content.
Our working relationship with the Paisley means we stay up on design tweaks and useability testing. ENGINE is more than just a webmaster to the Paisley Farmhouse. We really are in this together!
The Paisley Just Wouldn't Be the Same Without ENGINE
Dianne's got enough on her plate as a small-business owner. She shouldn't have to fuss with every detail of the whole operation. It pays to have us around, you could say.
From the foundation to the trim, Dianne's lifelong vision kicks into gear every morning she opens for business.

Sick Stick sizing
So I'm heading to BC with Big Red Cats next month and looking to get a Salomon sick stick. Trying to decide between 163 and 166. I'm on the smaller size, 175lb but have sz 12 boots and typically ride wide boards. Waist width of these boards is 256mm and 260mm respectively. Does anyone have experience with these boards and bigger boots? I know the width is a bit wider at inserts, should overhang even be a concern with either size?
thanks |

News & Analysis
Google Instant Ups Google Search Share to 66.3%
Google Instant Ups Google Search Share to 66.3%
Clint Boulton
Posted 2010-11-18
Google notched 66.3 percent search share, with Microsoft Bing growing to 11.5 percent. Analysts say Google Instant has given the search engine leader a lift, but the accuracy of the counting remains unclear.
its search share to 66.3 percent through October, from 66.1 percent in September, with challenger Microsoft Bing growing from 11.2 percent to 11.5 percent over the same period. ComScore
the total queries powered by Google's engine on partner sites, such as AOL and Ask, rose a touch, to 69.2 percent, from 69.1 percent for the month.
Susquehanna Research suggested
Google's Instant predictive search
, which lets users see results as they type their query, "appears to have had a favorable impact on overall core query volumes" in its first full month of operation.
However, several
Instant searches
may have been excluded from explicit core search. ComScore counts explicit searches as those in which a user hits "enter," clicks on an algorithmic or sponsored result, clicks one of the refinement links, or executes a query by clicking on a vertical search tab. If a query occurs without such an explicit action or includes a "pause" of at least three seconds-such as would occur because of a contextual shortcut or slideshow-it it is excluded from explicit core query figures.
"If we assume that all of Google's nonexplicit searches are a result of Instant searches, and are not contextual in nature, Instant queries may have accounted for seven percent of Google's total core search volume and nine percentage points of its total year-over-year core search growth of 26.5 percent" in October, said Susquehanna analyst Marianne Wolk. Wolk added that the new Instant Previews
launched this month
may boost query volume over time. Although it appears distant in Google's rearview mirror, Microsoft has grown Bing search from 8 percent in June 2009 to 11.5 percent last month, the greatest growth spurt of any search provider. This is no mean feat versus Google, which has been at around a 65 percent share in the U.S. for several years. Jefferies and Co analyst Youssef Squali said that because certain Bing results will also be
with Facebook's "like" and "dislike" buttons, "we expect a pick-up in Microsoft's search results over the next couple of months as these features are deployed." Bing also officially powers Yahoo's search results and search ad clicks and could very well see an uptick from that. However, Yahoo hauled in 16.5 percent of traffic in its second full month of being powered by Bing, down from 16.7 percent in September. Nevertheless, said Wolk, Yahoo's search transition to Bing might improve results in November, December and 2011. This may have been cause for disappointment in the past for Yahoo investors. But Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz made it clear that search was not the company's focus when she worked with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer in 2009 to offload the Yahoo search backend to Bing. Then, at the
Web 2.0 Summit
Nov. 16, Bartz said that her company is not a search company, but one of "content, communications, media and innovation." Against that backdrop, there are
fresh whispers
that private equity firms want former News Corp. President and COO Peter Chernin to assume a leadership role at Yahoo.

Lady Antebellum Owe Miranda Lambert One for New Single 'Downtown'
Lady Antebellum aren't the only ones who had their eyes on the song 'Downtown,' their new single.
Lady Antebellum aren't the only ones who had their eyes on the song 'Downtown,' their new single.
Over a dozen of country music's biggest stars will call Hunter Mountain home for three days this June. The inaugural Taste of Country Music Festival is three days of music and camping in the Catskill Mountains of New York, with Lady Antebellum, Willie Nelson
Lady Antebellum have never been funkier than on their new single 'Downtown' -- the first from the trio's upcoming fourth studio album. A guitar lick postmarked 1962 steers the song and pushes the band in an exciting new direction.
Darius Rucker may not have had an instant connection with 'Wagon Wheel.' But the country music superstar recounts an unlikely event that helped rekindle him with the Old Crow Medicine Show classic -- enough so that he decided to release the track as the latest single from his forthcoming studio album, 'True Believers.'
2013 has been year of new beginnings -- and sad endings -- for Lady Antebellum. The Grammy Award-winning trio used their first Webisode Wednesday feature of the new year to discuss the latest happenings in the life of one of country music's leading bands.
Country superstars Lady Antebellum and legendary Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks are teaming up for an upcoming episode of the hit show 'CMT Crossroads,' which will air later in 2013. The show pairs contemporary country artists with some of their favorite rock performers for collaborations on some of their best-known material.
The only thing better than touring the country and playing music is doing it with your spouse by your side. And although Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott gets to tour with her new hubby Chris Tyrrell, the two don't get to spend much alone time together on the Lady A tour bus.
Lady Antebellum celebrated Christmas this morning (Dec. 25) with all of their fans, courtesy of a pre-taped performance of 'Have a Holly Jolly Christmas' from their holiday record 'On This Winter's Night,' which aired on the annual Disney Parks Christmas parade on ABC.
One of the more unique cuts from Lady Antebellum's 'On This Winter's Night' album has been made available for free on iTunes. 'Silent Night (Lord of My Life)' is the single of the week, meaning fans can grab it at no charge until Christmas.
Red, white, silver and green are the traditional colors of Christmas, but Lady Antebellum can be sure to add gold to the season's palette for 2012.

Veterans Day is a time we thank those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. Many different restaurants thank Veterans on this day by offering them free meals. Here's a list of a few that are offering this perk locally in Utica and Rome.
With the news of the new movie coming out next Christmas, it's been a pretty good month to be a Star Wars fan. Now all over the internet we are watching fans celebrate and rejoice...in some weird ways. Including this: a bird chirping like R2-D2.

Americans are NOTORIOUS for complaining about almost everything from the weather to poor food service, but when we have to pay more for something than we're used to, we wig out!
Remember growing up and buying a McDonald's happy meal? Remember the toy you would find inside? Well, in India that isn't the case. Children will now find books inside of their Happy Meals instead of toys.

And you thought that Coke was just a beverage. Coca-cola is good for many more wonderful applications like removing rust, gum, toilet grime, and even skunk odor if you get shot!
Ok, from now on, this is how I will respond when someone comes near me that I would rather not be around.
Not interested in freaking out over the phone and having your melt-down recorded for possible later airing on TV? Well, as of today in Oneida County you can now text your distress instead!
Even the most squeaky clean of us have let colorful speech fly in moments of low self-control like when we stub our toe on the coffee table or when someone cuts us off, and others swear like it's their native language no matter the topic.

Metro area assessing damage from major hailstorm
Published: March 19,2013
Tags: building, car, damage, destruction, education, hail, hailstorm, home, house, natural disaster, office, school, severe thunderstorm, severe weather
JACKSON — A severe storm with large hail pounded the Mississippi capital and its suburbs yesterday, busting windows in cars, homes and businesses and temporarily leaving a blanket of ice on some parking lots and sidewalks.
Clinton Fire Department Deputy Chief Tim Shanks said firefighters responded yesterday afternoon to calls of two people hit in the head by hail. He said he did not have information on their conditions.
There were reports of downed trees or other damage in 14 counties, said Mississippi Emergency Management Agency spokesman Jeff Rent. MEMA had no immediate confirmed reports of injuries.
Roads throughout the Jackson area were littered with broken limbs and pine needles, from the hail driving through trees. Cars could be seen driving along the interstate with broken windows and cracked windshields.
The Clinton Public School District said Lovett Elementary school will be closed today because of the hail storm but that classes will be held at alternate sites. Once buses have run their routes, students will be transported to different campuses. Students will be shuttled back to Lovett in the afternoon and car riders may be picked up at Lovett at the usual dismissal time.
"Roof damage has caused leaks in most every classroom," said Sandi Beason, a spokeswoman for the Clinton Public School District. "Fortunately, no one was injured. The storm hit at the end of dismissal and nearly all students had left for the day."
National Weather Service meteorologist Anna Weber said there were reports of hail the size of softballs in some areas around Jackson. Baseball-sized hail was reported in Jackson and its suburbs, including the cities of Jackson, Clinton, Madison, Pearl and Brandon.
"This is the time of year that we get hail storms, but hail this size is pretty rare," Weber said.
By early evening, the skies were clear and the sun was shining over Jackson. The hail was quickly melting.
Glenn Ezell and his son were putting tarps on the metal roof of their mobile home in Brandon after the storm swept through the area.
"It started hailing big enough that it come through the roof and broke the sheetrock. It was as big as your fist," he said.
The hail also broke a window and damaged screens, he said.
His wife, Brenda, said the noise was so loud inside the mobile home that they went outside on the porch.
"It sounded like the world was coming to an end," she said. "I'm 55 years old and I've never seen anything like it in my life."
Rent said hail — ranging in size from golf balls to tennis balls — hit MEMA headquarters in Pearl.
"We've got a lot of damaged vehicles here at MEMA," he said.
Rent said officials will try to take care of repairs quickly while also providing assistance to people who may need it. He said damage assessments are ongoing but so far local officials had not asked for state assistance.
Mississippians are accustomed to dealing with tornadoes and hurricanes but this much large, widespread hail is unusual for the state, Rent said.
"What I found interesting is that hail is the threat that we don't talk about that much. But you can see how destructive it can be in a short amount of time," he said. "We got a tough lesson today."
Hinds County emergency management specialist Robin Garrard said the "damage is pretty much spread all through Hinds County with windows busted, car damage, that kind of thing."
Weber said the metro area was hit by "a few super cells" that pushed out of the area to the south-southeast. A severe thunderstorm watch was in effect for parts of south and southeast Mississippi through 9 p.m. CDT, she said.
MEMA said the forecast called for the chance of damaging winds, hail and isolated tornadoes.
Rent said downed trees or other damage were reported in the following counties: Calhoun, Chickasaw, Clay, Grenada, Hinds, Itawamba, Lee, Lowndes, Monroe, Rankin, Tallahatchie, Tishomingo, Union and Warren.

12:00 PM ET, February 3, 2008
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- LSU star Sylvia Fowles asked coach Van Chancellor several times if she could re-enter the game after tweaking her right knee.
Each time, Chancellor told her only if the lead got to single digits. Quianna Chaney, Allison Hightower and Erica White never let it happen.Chaney scored 19 points, Hightower added 14 off the bench and White had her best all-around game of the season. Together, they lifted the eighth-ranked Lady Tigers to their ninth consecutive victory, 85-71 over Florida on Sunday.LSU (18-3, 7-0 Southeastern Conference) made this one look easy, opening up a double-digit lead in the first 4 minutes, pushing it to 20 points early in the second half and then cruising the rest of the way.The only concern was Fowles' knee."I think it's OK," Chancellor said. "She just got it hit. That's the first time it's really been hit that hard. Within five minutes, she was ready to go. By then, we were up 20-something. I just couldn't see taking a chance on that."A 6-foot-6 All-America center and the team's leading scorer and rebounder, Fowles banged her knee early in the second half. It was the same knee she had surgery on Dec. 21.She missed two games -- including LSU's last loss, a 67-56 setback at Middle Tennessee -- but returned with four double-doubles in the last seven games.She finished with nine points and three rebounds Sunday, both season lows. Fowles eventually re-taped her knee, pulled up her black wrap and then sat the rest of the way.LSU did just fine without her.Chaney was 7-of-12 from the field, including 4-of-8 from 3-point range.White finished with a season-high 16 points, 11 of them in the second half, and added six rebounds and seven assists.Hightower made four consecutive baskets in the second half -- a running one-hander, a 3-pointer, a jumper and a driving layup -- that pushed the lead to 72-45 with about 8 minutes remaining.LSU coasted from there, winning for the 14th time in 15 games. The Tigers have won eight of the last nine against Florida.Marshae Dotson had 20 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Gators (14-8, 3-4), who have lost three of their last four. Depree Bowden added 15 points and Sha Brooks chipped in 12.Without Fowles roaming the lane, Florida trimmed the 27-point lead to 14 in the closing minutes, but couldn't get any closer."Does the game feel different without Sylvia in there? She's the best in the country. Absolutely, it felt different," Gators coach Amanda Butler said.Florida was never really in this one.LSU scored the first seven points of the game and was up 12-1 before Florida even made a shot. The Gators were 0-for-3 from the field and had four turnovers in the first 4 minutes."When you're playing a great team like LSU, it's hard to come back from that," Bowden said.It only got worse from there.LSU beat Florida up and down the floor and got just about any shot it wanted. The Tigers also were hot from outside, hitting four early 3-pointers and finishing with eight from behind the arc."Those first four minutes were ultimately too much for us to overcome," Butler said. "They were too good for us to give them that kind of start and for us to not have a better start."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

What do barbecue sauce, vineyards, and candy bars have in common? Athletes. That's right, they're things that sports figures and personalities endorse, own, or pitch. And why not? Why should celebrities like Paul Newman or reality TV stars corner food endorsements?
After years of tackling, slugging, or racing at extreme speeds, and putting their bodies on the line, you can't really blame athletes for using their fame and success to sell a few candy bars, or for packing on the pounds by eating ribs drenched in a barbecue sauce they're peddling. Why shouldn't they nurture grapes and make wines they can sip, feet kicked up, admiring their name on the label?
So here's a list of 10 professional athletes, past and present, who have developed food brands. Of course, there are famous ones, like Reggie bars, named for the "Straw That Stirs The Drink," and another baseball legend's chocolate treat namesake, Babe Ruth's Home Run Bar, not to be confused with Baby Ruth bars, named after President Cleveland's daughter.
Like these two candy bars, many have been discontinued though avid collectors have kept them in circulation, so their packages, ads, and wrappers can still be found online. But plenty are sold in stores today, like Fred Smoot's energy bar, and a few like Peggy Fleming's wines and Andre Reed's barbecue sauce even donate a part of their profits to local charities.

So Japandroids were awesome last night when they were actually playing music. The new songs sounded great, they rock super hard, they were loud as fuck, etc. For some reason though, they felt the need to tune and chat between almost every song, effectively killing any momentum/great rock 'n' roll moments they built up during the time they were playing.
While I love normal, nice people being in rock bands, I started to get annoyed with how earnest and...un-rock star they were being. Act like you own the place when you are on stage. Be sincere, be heartfelt. But don't kill the momentum of your set. Back up your huge tunes and huge sound. And at the very least, play 3-4 songs in a row before tuning again. Please.
I love the new album and I love this band. I just hope they continue to grow as performers the next time they come around.
That does not sound like the set I saw tonight at all. They started with a very earnest introduction, as the amp hummed and David drummed Brian introduced both of them and they gunned into The Boys Are Leaving Town. After that, Brian asked people if they were warmed up and the jumped into new material. There weren't frequent tuning breaks, they spoke every 4-5 songs or so, and they sounded absolutely incredible. They also said they had not headlined a show in LA in at least two years. The crowd was absolutely batshit, and the band really fed off that. They closed with their cover of For the Love of Ivy, preceded by a dedication to all of LA for providing them with Jeffrey Lee Pierce. It was a spectacular show, and they completely sold me.
JAMC killed it as always! They're kind of my "go to" band when I just want to hear some good pop songs live. Huge smattering of Psychocandy was a plus. They closed with probably my favorite JAMC tune, Never Understand, although opening with Snakedriver and Some Candy Talking were great as well.

That is good to hear. They were tuning between literally EVERY SONG in SF. There were maybe only two stretches where they played two songs in a row. Again, they are totally awesome when they are playing. It is the between-song stuff that was frustrating.
Forgot to mention that they seem to be filming everything for a documentary/concert film type of thing.
The Cribs were on top of their game last night. They blasted through a good number of tunes in just over an hour. They played a good selection from their new album, but played at least one tune from the previous ones.
It was also my second time seeing The Lovely Bad Things and they were far more amazing than I remember them being. They're only going to get better, so I can't wait to see them again.
Japandroids were an absolute blast last night...but they did stop between each song to tune/chat (the exception being the third- and second-to last songs, which they played back-to-back). I hadn't listened to Post-Nothing in a long time, so hearing those songs played in the same set as the Celebration Rock material really made me realize what a great leap forward this album is for their in terms of the songwriting. They both seemed genuinely excited to be playing a headlining set, and I really think that enthusiasm rubbed off on the crowd because it was getting pretty crazy in the front. Also, it was nice (briefly) meeting you last night bmack - hopefully next time we'll have a bit more time to chat.
Anyone else going to How to Dress Well at the Echo tonight?
No one else here went to Here We Go Magic at the Echo?
I sure did. Their new tracks sounded great. I'll see them anytime they come around.
I'd be down! Still felt a little under the weather last night, to be honest. But normally on Friday? You bet!
I just did one earlier on the last page... Here's some more!
Although I thought JAMC were great, I don't think Hollywood Park was suiting them well as a venue. Jim, who addressed the audience WAY more than I've ever heard him at past JAMC shows, remarked at one point "Does anyone here know our songs?" So many talkers. It was tough to find a spot to escape the constant chatter. Jim also got a bit frustrated and told the folks in front to "Stop making requests", and offered for someone in the audience to come up and sing if they wanted to hear a certain tune.
I haven't seen the band in recent years but they've definitely changed some. Jim used to go entire shows without uttering so much as a word to the crowd. And it was strange to see them doing encores now. When they came back out, Will (who I have never heard speak at a show!) took the mic and said "Jim's told me backstage that I played like shit tonight". To which Jim responded "Well... it's true!"
I really thought despite some issues, they nailed it in typical JAMC fashion. They may have lost some of the old fire, but the songs hold up great after all this time and Will's distortion and thumping single note melodies on the guitar are still inspiring. Besides the songs mentioned in my first post, Happy When It Rains also stood out. I'll see if I can dig up the set list. Got about an 80 minute show, I think.

If you tell me in advance I'll bring that Pearl Jam beer I have been saving to drink with you.
JAMC were very loud it seemed.I thought Reverence the best song of set for me and I was happy that they did taste like honey without a girl singer.Thinking back it was a pretty good show just a lot of the crowd seem not to know a lot of their song besides a couple.They didn't even go crazy for Head on.

I was a really big fan of his set, but it's a weird thing. When I saw him there, it was just him and a backing track, and he was singing alone on stage. For the first song or two I felt like it was pretty lame and karaoke-like, but then his voice and earnestness started getting to me. I thought he carried the show through really well.
I just got back from Mike Watt and the Missingmen doing Watt's third opera at the Redwood Grill. First off, the Grill. It's a little bar in downtown LA that frequently has old punk dudes playing. 8 dollar cover, the sound was great, and they had good drink. I will be back.
Watt's third opera is the best thing he's done at least since Ball Hog or Tugboat? if not fIREHOSE. The band he has with him is tighter than fIREHOSE ever hoped to be, and they blast through the songs with a Minutemen-like fury and precision. They played the whole new album, and it sounded phenomenal. I hadn't heard it before tonight, but Watt has a collection of songs here to rival anything he's done before. He said they'll be playing again next month on the 21st. If you like the Minutemen or SST or punk rock in general, you should make it a priority to go. Spectacular shit here.
He had a guy on keys and another on violin/guitar, but my reaction matched yours. At first it just didn't come off, but as he got deeper into the set the range of his vocals became further impressive, and his personality was easy to root for. Basically, anyone who double-fists microphones gets my vote. Plus there were a couple of LOUD tracks from his new album - should be a banger. I only recognized three from "Love Remains" - both Suicide Dreams and Ready for the World, which is the one I was most hoping to hear.

Tomato containers and Vikane fumigation --good or bad idea?
Hi all,
I have drywood termites (lots). And the biggest infestation of silverfish I've ever seen indoors. We are making arrangements to have the house fumigated and I have an odd question for you:
I have 6 large redwood planters for tomatoes (no dirt here, just decking) that have been just great for growing. I pulled the last of my winter crop last week with a nasty influx of tomato psyllids doing them in (can't complain too much since its March...) and I wanted to have some time off between the winter crop and the spring planting to let the nasties go away. (I've got favas in there now). I'm about to have the house tented and fumigated with Vikane gas (sulfuryl flouride and chloropicrin). Heat treatment is not recco'd in our circumstance and the "citrus oil" method has no decent stats on it, so I'm forced into the old fashioned method after much research. Given this, I am considering rolling my large containers under the tent to let the Vikane take out anything it can as long as they're doing this... to perhaps clear out any residual psyllid presence, etc. (not to mention the ant colony that moved into one of the 20 gal containers).
The termite companies I've interviewed swear that Vikane floats away and dissipates completely, leaving no residue -- as in, I can eat off the plates, etc. once they've left, however no FOOD can be left open lest it be contaminated... Hmmm. Leaves me wondering... Is the soil/redwood container/terracotta pot that I'm _growing_ my food in in two months likely to be contaminated by this stuff? Will the soil/redwood pass something nasty into my tomato plants that will have my family turning into mutants? Or is this a wonderful way to let my termite control also prep my container garden for next summer's crops?
Comments? Research? Suggestions? Weigh in! I have two weeks to decide to roll those pots in or out of the target zone and I'd love some ideas from others! --TIA
I think I would haul them in only if I thought the wood might be infested with termites. Even though redwood is resistant overtime weathered wood can apparently be infested.
Those chemicals are ones used in soil fumigation but obviously not the same rate, formulations, etc.
Some of these chemicals are being phased out and none of them are available to the homeowner to sterilize their soil.
I don't think psyllids have a cycle where they are in the soil anyway (?) and I would not go to all that trouble for ants. Just use boiling water or soap and water.
You could dump all the soil on a big tarp, add new compost, etc. and put the redwood containers in to be gassed.
I tend to agree with the technician but I am no expert so could not tell you to go ahead and do it. I pour boiling water (VERY CAREFULLY) in containers invested with nematodes --would not be prepared to do what you propose because it seems to be the antithesis of Integrated Pest Management gardening where you go for the least toxic methods first.

A Narrow High Court Win For Prayer Before Government Meetings
Originally published on Mon May 5, 2014 11:52 pm
The Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that the government can use Christian prayers to start town meetings, so long as legislators don't discriminate against non-Christians. It's a new chapter in the long-running fight over prayer in public places and on public occasions. NPR's Carrie Johnson explains what happened in the town of Greece, New York.

A preschool boy sits, repeatedly banging two pirate figures together. Another child might enact a battle scene punctuated by "Arrrg!" and "Ahoy!" But this boy, who is autistic, can't do that. He can't make the connection between the characters and the script. Undaunted, his teachers make a video of another child playing appropriately with the toy.
They show it to him, three or four times. Something clicks. The student becomes a mighty fine imaginary swashbuckler. He has learned the basic skill of play.
Fast-forward two years to today: The boy is a successful first grader fully integrated into a general education classroom. With the help of patient instructors using new technologies early in his schooling, this student became a captain of his own destiny.
Never underestimate the power of a really good pirate movie or the ingenuity of a teacher bent on making connections for a special needs student. The video modeling is visual. "A lot of our kids are visual learners," says Brandie Brunni, Division Director of special education programs for the San Joaquin County Office of Education. "Typically, developing children learn through play. With the new developments in research we are able to tap into these modalities," she adds.
Translation: special education teachers are using new tools, from simple exercise equipment to iPads and other electronics, to help their students succeed. These teachers are literally translating what can be a frustratingly difficult world into lessons that special needs students can absorb. Whenever possible the goal is to integrate a special needs child into the general population. In the most severe cases a teacher hopes to simply increase the self-reliance and happiness of a student. Whether it's high or low tech, the aim is the same - success.
New Faces in the Classroom
There were 14,005 of 136,303 students in special education in December of 2010, according to the most recent special education figures available from the California Department of Education. The special needs population is expected to grow in the coming years, due greatly to a rise in autism diagnosis. Districts in San Joaquin County reported a 15 percent annual increase in those children. What that means is more unique students coming soon to a classroom near you, and more visible methods and tools used to enhance their learning experience. A student with autism might sit on an exercise ball instead of in a chair. A student with sensory integration issues might wear headphones to reduce classroom noise. A student with language issues might use an iPad or a simple flip chart to communicate.
Teresa Duff, mother of 17-yearold twins, says her special needs sons benefit from such technologies in different ways. Nicholas has cerebral palsy and processing issues. Writing can be difficult, so he uses a voice recognition program called Dragon NaturallySpeaking in and out of class at Cesar Chavez High School in Stockton. He's in the honors history class. Son Gregory has more severe issues and is a student at Walton Special Center, where teachers are working to increase his communication through switches that signify 'yes' and 'no' responses. Gregory also benefits from physical therapy tools that give him a different perspective.
The Gait Trainer that Gregory uses is a simple support device - no batteries. No bells and whistles. But it's enough to make his mother teary. Unable to move his body, her son spends much of his time viewing the world from a prone position. Getting him on his feet, moving across the room toward some desired object is worth celebrating.
"He just loves being able to see things from a different view," she says, adding that she is a fierce advocate for new technologies for both her boys. "There's even more (technology) out there than we know of," Duff says. "We don't know what is possible until somebody comes in with different views."
Special needs kids are "always in the bleachers. They tend to be really good watchers," says Amy Terra, who teaches medically fragile students at Walton Special Center in Stockton. Terra's goal when using new tools is to get them off the sidelines "doing usual things that create that sense of childhood normalcy. Every child should have those opportunities."
Placing special needs students in general settings makes that possible, says Marshall Elementary special education teacher Rachelle Pappas. Technologies and tools that apply in a specific special needs class are often easily used to help students perform in what special education teachers call the 'general population.' Technology has supported, rather than driven, integration, she says.
"I think more kids are getting integrated out," says Pappas, a teacher for 21 years. "We see integrated preschools."
Terra started her 20-year career in a special education classroom hidden at the back of a school. Today, she sees the students from Kohl Open Elementary rush over to play with their friends next door at Walton. Even before recent upgrades to Walton's 1970's playground, Kohl students preferred it to their own, state-of the-art equipment. "All the kids would run from Kohl's to Walton," she says. "You can see that change of acceptance just because of familiarity. It never happens quickly, but it will happen if you hang around long enough."
Aren't iCool?
Advances in adaptive technologies don't happen in a vacuum. The boom in hand held computing is a boon for special education. Special needs schools that once paid as much as $9,000 dollars for a communication device can get an iPad for a few hundred dollars and a Kindle reader for even less. Dragon Speak once cost $400 dollars. Now you can get it for $100 dollars. Even a cell phone can come in handy, says the county's Brunni. Video modeling movies can be shot on a mobile phone with a built-in video camera. Those technologies, however, need an environment and a teaching staff that support their usage.
If there's a yardstick for the value of new tools in special education, it's Walton, where a much needed $15 million makeover funded by Measure Q has turned a noisy, outdated building into a space where teachers use a variety of tools to expand student independence for children from birth to age 22. The renovations included the new Jean Wilson Early Childhood Center for and several upgrades to classrooms. It's the bathrooms, however, that get the most accolades.
Many students at Walton, which serves up to 300 of the district's most severely disabled students, need diaper changing during the day. What once happened behind notso- private partitions in classrooms now occurs in spacious, Jack-and- Jill rooms between the classes. It's hardly hi-tech, but it matters.
The new changing areas allow the staff to serve students "from that respect and dignity place," says Walton Principal Tom Whitesides. The simple change helped set a tone for new facilities, tools and teaching strategies. New classrooms mean quieter spaces and a separation for students with different needs and grade levels. A motor room offers exercise and a sensory room a quiet space for regrouping.
"The quality of service has increased significantly. It's just night and day," Whitesides says. "We have all these tools in the toolbox."
A favorite tool that is apparent to visitors is the collection of large, electric switches students can use to do everything from request a drink to read a book to feed the classroom pets. A switch; operated by a hand, head or foot; can allow a student to help a bit in preparing lunch or sprinkle glitter on an art project.
"We try to find ways for them to just make choices," Terra says. "These are very basic things that make or break a day and make or break our happiness. When you build opportunities for them to take control of their lives they get really happy."
Technologies to give that control may be more concentrated at Walton, but they play out across the Valley. Pappas points to the computer created artwork on the tee shirts and magnet souvenirs given to students at the Special Needs Prom in early June. A special education student designed the computer artwork.
Terra tells the tale of a special needs student struggling to write out complicated anatomy terms in a weight training class. The adaptive alternative - a diagram of the body with nametags that attached via Velcro - was so successful that the physical education teacher used it for ten other students struggling with the issue. "The teacher ended up keeping it for his regular classroom," Terra says.
Duff says Gregory's teacher at Walton, Gary Dosier, embraces new technologies. Buttons that are designed for Gregory to request food or a drink aren't being used much because of feeding issues. The goal this year is to repurpose them to signify say 'yes' or 'no' responses instead.
"Just for him to be able to ask for what he wants is amazing. I just get excited that he's able to do something different, to do something other kids take for granted," Duff says.
All it takes is one teacher willing to think differently about what a student needs and start working on ways to reach that goal, Duff says. "The teacher makes a huge difference."
A Needy Future
Duff fights every day to get her twins the care and education they need, she says. Her advocacy for Nicholas, who will be a junior next year, is especially fierce. Like many parents, she learned to battle for more help as her children grew up in the program. It took her a while to discover she could ease the backbreaking labor of lifting wheelchairs and kids into her van by getting a note from her doctor specifying her need for an electric lift. It's information she shares freely with other parents with wheelchair bound children. She also pushes for higher expectations of her kids. Nicholas spends half his day in adaptive classes and the other half "mainstreamed" in elective courses. Special education is a label that can lead to low expectations. Duff is having none of that. If there is a new technology that will help Nicholas build on his love for history, she wants it. "He loves history, and he could teach history," Duff says. "He taught the teacher some things."
With the increase in autism spectrum disorder and the continuing budget crunch in California education it's going to be challenging to get the more sophisticated tools that can increase the success of the special education student. Districts already suffering from the crush of lowered budgets often struggle to get new technologies into the hands of teachers who can capitalize on them. They have little choice. The Federal Disabilities Education Act mandates a "free, appropriate public education" within the least restrictive environment that meets their needs. Still, it's estimated that it costs nearly twice as much to educate a special needs student. Meanwhile, the definition of 'appropriate' can be pretty fluid. It's easy for parents and educators to get glum about the prospects for getting new tools into the hands of the students who most need them.
It's important, however, to honor the students using all those new gadgets. Technology is a great tool worth our investment, but only if it is used to increase a special education student's sense of accomplishment, worth and belonging, Terra says. "It all goes back to the human connection. It's about increasing the students' level of participation." I think if you were to take the technology out of it, the kids would still find really cool things to do together," she adds. "The kids are the real magic."

Asking 250K for domain names only is just vastly indelicate, considering what Ron Paul and his folks could do otherwise with the same money to defend and support the ideas (and not just on the WWW, btw), IMO.

AbbVie Inc Raises FY 2013 Earnings-per-Share Guidance; Updates on Daclizumab
AbbVie Inc announced that it is raising its diluted earnings-per-share guidance for fiscal year 2013 to USD 3.11 to USD 3.13 (from USD 3.07 to USD 3.13) on an adjusted basis, or USD 2.54 to USD 2.56 on a GAAP basis. The Company's fiscal year 2013 adjusted diluted earnings-per-share guidance excludes USD 0.57 per share of intangible asset amortization expense, acquired in-process research and development, and other specified items primarily associated with certain separation-related costs and ongoing restructuring activities. According to I/B/E/S estimates, analysts on average are expecting the Company to report fiscal year 2013 earnings-per-share of USD 3.13. In addition, with partner Biogen Idec, AbbVie Inc presented data from sub-analyses of the Phase 2 SELECT and SELECTION studies evaluating daclizumab. Daclizumab High-Yield Process (DAC HYP) is being developed as a once monthly subcutaneous injection for patients with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). DAC HYP is believed to target the activated immune cells that can play a key role in MS without causing general immune cell depletion. A second registrational study, the DECIDE trial, is expected to complete in mid-2014, supporting a potential regulatory submission by year-end 2014.
