Seeds InService: A Papermaking Institute is an initiative of Melissa Potter and Maggie Puckett to explore the intersections of the art of hand papermaking with gardening, social practice, community engagement, and creative pedagogy in The Papermaker's Garden at Columbia College Chicago. The project engages multiple collaborations and social practice artworks from Potter and Puckett's work over the past five years.
By planting heirloom vegetables and flowers also usable for papermaking fiber from the Hull House Seed Library, this project honors the legacy of Jane Addams, a Nobel Prize winner, and underrepresented American historical figure who founded The Hull House in 1889. Domestic and culinary crafts were central to Addams' radical social reformism.

In spring 2015, Melissa Potter will be in residence on a Fulbright Scholar grant at the University of Fine Arts in Sarajevo doing a project with Jillian Bruschera and Adam Pantić inspired by a performance at the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Belgrade called Pulp and Pastry.
Both food and hand papermaking reflect their places of origin and carry their cultural histories, and are made through labor with many of the same materials. Through ethnographic research, gardening, and papermaking, this project engages papermaking with the intangible heritage of Bosnian women by collecting and investigating regionally-specific recipes. Through papermaking collaborations and video interviews, both men and women are invited to describe how food carries their personal histories and memories.
Adam Pantić helped build the first papermaking studio in Belgrade, Serbia. His culinary nom de guerre, "Djulistan, Ph.D. in Oriental Sweets," uses the diverse characteristics of food and paper as art media to play on the collection of old recipes from his time in military service in Bosnia. He will travel to Sarajevo to collaborate on this project.

Feminist Felt is a collaboration by Melissa Potter with women in the Republic of Georgia, Miriam Schaer, the Women's Fund in Georgia. It grew out of a Soros Arts and Culture grant program, Felted Lives: Crafting Women's Stories. The works embrace feminist activism for women's basic rights to safety as well as advocacy for women craft artisans, whose skills are endangered, underpaid and under recognized.
A collaboration with artist activist groups and women craft unions in the Republic of Georgia engaged the ancient Georgian craft of felt making to explore contemporary artists books, as well as protest banners and masks, which have been used in Georgian feminist and LGBTQIA marches and protests. These craft practices are in urgent need of intangible heritage preservation. Simultaneously, women's empowerment movements have taken Georgia into its second wave of feminism, and they oppose the oppressive gender regulations of an Orthodox society, at times to their personal endangerment.

Craft Power: Tusheti Rugs is a series of flax handmade paper laminated el wires, which illuminate when plugged in. They are part of a research project by Melissa Potter and Paul Catanese called Handmade Media. Through this project, we are exploring the intersection of hand crafted media with handmade paper. I created these works inspired by the crafts symbol system in the Republic of Georgia, where it is understood some of the images may be derived from ancient Amazonian cults celebrating female power. They were featured in the San Antonio city-wide exhibition, Luminaria.

As part of the exhibition, Construction at Columbia College Chicago's A + D Gallery, Melissa Potter created an interactive project using the BEM Sex Role Inventory to engage audiences on the topic of gender roles, play, and stereotypes. The Gender Assignment blog explored the findings from a personal, artistic, and collaborative interview process. The findings from more than 100 tests during this exhibition are here.

Row over sheep led Carlisle student to 'trash' man's house
Last updated at 09:36, Monday, 10 December 2012
A dispute over a flock of sheep ended with a student trashing another man's house.
Would-be soldier Dale Fenton, 22, blamed the man when he did not receive what he thought was his fair share of the money after some of the sheep they both owned were sold.
So he phoned him in an "extremely aggressive" state, making threats and making unfounded lurid comments about his sex life, Carlisle Crown Court heard.
Then – deciding that a face-to-face meeting would be better – he went round to his house and "completely lost it" when he found he was not in.
So, prosecutor Alan Lovett told the court, Fenton smashed his way into the house, punched his fist four times through the man's £1,750 plasma TV screen, damaged the pipe to the oil tank and left a trail of footprints all through the house.
Fenton, of East Dale Street, Denton Holme, Carlisle, pleaded guilty to burglary with intent to cause criminal damage.
Defending, barrister Greg Hoare told the court that Fenton and the other man had come to an arrangement with farmer Robert Birnie, of Longtown, to keep sheep on land to which they would each contribute towards the upkeep.
The idea was that each would receive the proceeds when his own sheep were sold but, because of a mix-up caused by some sheep straying and the wrong ones being rounded up for market, Fenton was not paid for the animals he believed were his.
"There was a degree of friction," Mr Hoare said.
Fenton wanted to "have it out" with the other man, Mr Hoare, said and went to his house to talk to him.
But when he found he was not there "a red mist came over him" and he decided to go in.
Mr Hoare asked the judge not to impose a custodial sentence, which would have put an end to Fenton's ambition to join the Army.
Judge Paul Batty QC ordered Fenton to do 250 hours unpaid community work.
He told Fenton: "The background to this case is, to say the least, somewhat unusual.
"It is very much a Cumbrian case, in that it arose from the sale of some sheep.
"But what you did was not a Cumbrian solution at all."

I like that photo. I'm not sure where it is in Mostar, but it looks quite interesting because so many details are man-made, but it still looks natural.
Obviously I had a problem with the connection these days when I posed photo, but of course this is my Sarajevo.
It is interesting that the cadre set it so that it displays a variety of architectural styles that have dominated in this area through history
I like this view.

Great rug.. its a softer jute
Great rug for the price. The just is softer then most jute. The color is as explained. My only complain is the shedding. I'm hoping it will lessen as time goes by.Read More
I love Overtstock. I have purchased ALL of my area rugs from them, because they have the best price and selection. Unfortunately, when I received this rug, I was extremely disappointed. It doesn't look anything like the picture. The picture makes it look almost like burlap, so I was hoping it would have a rustic look to it. But it's all 1-color, almost a light tan. It does not go with my decor. It is VERY thin. After reading the return policy it sounds like I am out of luck even though it doesn't look as pictured. This was an expensive item since I purchased the 9x13. Now I'm stuck with the bill and a giant ugly area rug. My first O disappointment!!Read More
Excellent Rug for price!
Overall extremely happy with purchase! Rug came as described and was delivered extremely fast! No complaints here!Read More
great rug for the price
I purchased this rug on Friday and received it yesterday. (Tues) It is a great rug for the price. It is thick and durable and I like the fact that you can reverse it for wear. A couple of things things you should know however: 1. the "natural" jute rug is the color of dirty dishwater. Its kindof a grey-beige. (great if you have kids and pets) 2. When I opened this rug and laid it out, my allergies kicked into high gear. I think maybe because it had been wrapped for a while at the warehouse it may have gotten a little bit of mold or mildew in it. (it doesn't smell like anything though...it doesn't have an odor at all.) 3. Jute is basically rope. This rug is skinny lengths of rope woven together and the fringe is the rope ends. so if you are looking for a grasscloth or seagrass look, this rug is not for you. I wasn't very happy with the color at first because I thought "darn, it looks like dirt." but I layered a dhurrie over it and it really anchors the space and I don't have to worry about the dog messing it up.Read More
very good value
the rug is really inexpensive so i don't have to be paranoid about damaging it. its nice and thick. remember that jute is not the softest material in the world. this is something you would want in a high traffic area like a family room - not a bedroom where you walk around barefoot. doesn't feel great on bare feet. but its natural fibers that won't offgas nasty chemicals into your home. I use it to protect my wood floors int he family room.Read More

How to Size Your Room For an Area Rug
A rug in the right size can complement the whole room, accent furnishings, bring life to a dull room, or make a subtle statement. However, if it's too big or too small, it may leave the impression of an unfinished or poorly decorated room. Before you start shopping for area rugs, you'll want to size the room. This guide will help you to select the right size rug in any room.
Rolex FAQ
FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches | Overstock.comFAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watchesby Shawna Edwards I've never made a large purchase online. Why pick Overstock.com?Overstock.com is one of the largest retailers of high-end jewelry and watches. We have taken the time to create a Web environment that caters to our customers by allowing them to comfortably shop for wristwatches from the privacy of their homes. We offer our customers a wide variety of timepieces at the most competitive prices available. In addition to this, we want them to feel secure purchasing from us. Overstock.com is one of a handful of online high-end watch merchants that are capable of processing your credit card for your entire purchase. This allows "first-time buyers" to feel more secure in making a large purchase because they have an added layer of security via their credit card company. Do all your Rolex watches come with their serial numbers?Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial and reference numbers in place and viewable by removing the watch band from the six o'clock and twelve o'clock ends. What is meant by "Perfect Like New Condition?""Perfect like new (day one) condition" watches are pre-owned Rolex timepieces that are purchased by Overstock.com in pristine, mint and immaculate condition. This obviously is the case cosmetically and mechanically. Every timepiece is thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are authentic and meet our quality standards. These luxury watches are so pristine that, in most cases, they are indistinguishable from new watches. Our men's watches and women's watches may have miniscule markings, and the watch bracelets will have miniscule amounts of stretch. Will my watch come with documentation?Every watch will come with detailed documentation stating a full watch description, serial number and model number. Being that the manufacturer's warranty has expired, you will receive a limited one-year warranty from our vendor. Will my watch be covered by a warranty, and what about post warranty service?Being that the manufacturer's warranties on these timepieces have expired, our vendor issues a one-year limited warranty on every watch. The warranty work is done by expert watchmakers who use only original manufacturers' parts and have decades of experience working with Rolex watches. After the one-year limited warranty has expired, you may continue to request service through our vendor who will service the watch when needed at industry cost prices. How can I be sure that the watch will fit my wrist?All our watches will fit up to a 6-and-a-half-inch wrist for a woman and for a man will fit up to a 7-and-a-half-inch wrist (extra links are available for additional charges). Rolex watches can be easily resized to fit any wrist by your local jeweler. How do I measure for my wrist size?You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft measuring tape or measuring the inside of your best fitting watch. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a ribbon or a piece of string around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and measure it against a ruler to determine your approximate wrist size. To get the best fit, measure fairly snug at the wrist bone. This is approximate sizing not a 100 percent guarantee of prefect sizing.If the watch is a gift and you do not know the recipient's wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (as with all products, the standard sizes depend on the manufacturer):Men's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Average6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2"Adult X-Large8-1/2" to 9-1/2" Women's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small4-1/2" to 5-1/2"Adult Average5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Large6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult X-Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2" Will the watch be fully water-resistant? And can I go swimming or shower with my watch?Every Rolex watch is fully tested for water resistance; the total depth rating is listed with every model. Drawing on years of experience, it is our recommendation that, though Rolex watches are water resistant, because of the fine nature of the timepiece, we discourage our customers from making a practice of taking them in the shower or pool. If for some reason the stem, which is the round mechanism found on the side of the case, which is unscrewed to set the time, is not completely screwed down, water could leak into the movement and damage the watch. (Please refer to your warranty card regarding water damage.) The chances are incredibly slim that this will happen, but nonetheless it is our recommendation that our customers refrain from taking their Rolex watches into the water to avoid any unnecessary problems. How does Overstock.com offer such great prices when my local jeweler has a similar piece for considerably more?Overstock.com has built the best connections in the business, affording us the ability to buy from dealers at the highest level of the industry. Through these connections we can buy in the largest quantities while getting the best pricing. Being that we are not an authorized dealer of Rolex or affiliated with Rolex, USA we are able to offer our customers rock bottom pricing without being subject to any manufacturer's price controls or policies. Do I need to be present to sign for the package?For your safety, you will need to sign for the package that contains your watch. If you are not present when it arrives, the package will not be left at your door. A door tag will be left to inform you when the courier will come to redeliver your package. Alternatively, you can call the courier to arrange a better delivery time or pick-up (with photo identification) at the local hub. What is the benefit of buying a pre-owned Rolex over a new one?Unlike new Rolex watches, pre-owned Rolex watches do not depreciate in value immediately after purchase. Therefore, buying a new Rolex watch is like buying a brand new car: The moment you drive it off the lot it has lost 20 to 30 percent of its value. With buying a pre-owned watch, you have effectively cut out any value depreciation and retail markup. Rolex watches hold their value over time; in most cases, a pre-owned Rolex can be resold at a price very close to your purchase price.Rolex designs don't change too often; therefore, owning a perfect condition pre-owned timepiece is as good as a new one, with no one knowing that the watch was purchased pre-owned. No one can spot a used Rolex on your wrist. With the proper care and maintenance, a Rolex lasts forever. How do I determine the age of my watch?You are guaranteed to receive a desirable modern watch with a fully automatic self-winding (or quartz movement depending on your purchase), with quickset date feature. Due to the fact that Rolex models are manufactured for a number of years, the year of your watch will be circa 1980s or 1990s. Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial number, which determines the year of manufacture. Overstock.com and our Rolex Vendors are not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex, USA Inc., and are not an authorized Rolex dealer. Third party One-Year Warranty.

Prior to the Hutts' arrival, Hutta was known as Evocar by the native Evocii. It was a temperate planet characterized by lush rainforests, expansive oceans and towering mountain ranges. Natural resources were plentiful, a fact that no doubt attracted the Hutts as they searched for a new homeworld to settle. The Hutts' occupation of Evocar led to centuries of strip-mining and unchecked consumption that forever altered Evocar, transforming the once-idyllic planet into a polluted, bog-infested wasteland.

Area gas prices expected to hold in $3 range through holiday weekend
Area gas prices are expected to remain around $3 per gallon as the holiday weekend approaches, according to American Automobile Association (AAA) reps and reports from Rockfordgasprices.com.
According to area stats, pump prices averaged $3.05 per gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the last 72 hours, reflecting a 3-cent increase over last week.
As of press time, the national per-gallon regular unleaded tally was at $2.97.
Spokesmen at AAA said drivers in most markets are paying significantly more compared to last year's Christmastime average of approximately $2.50.
With crude oil hovering around $90 per barrel for the first time in two years, gas prices are following, in spite of the winter trends that usually result in cheaper fuel.
Gasoline shortages have been reported on the East Coast and other U.S. markets, which experts say is linked to refinery shutdowns.
Meanwhile, the AAA says area prices will likely hold through Sunday, Dec. 26. Where they go from there will be known as crude oil prices stabilize.
"It's hard to say where prices are going to go," Beth Mosher of AAA said. "In the near term, people should expect prices to remain about where they are."
Stats continue to show Illinois among states with the most expensive gasoline. Some of the cheapest are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

President-elect to Egyptians: 'Time to work'
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's president-elect, the former army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, told Egyptians it is now "time to work" to rebuild the economy after he was officially declared the landslide winner of last week's election, restoring a career military man to the country's top office.
Thousands celebrated in public squares around the country with cheers, fireworks and pro-military songs after the Election Commission officially announced el-Sissi's victory with nearly 97 percent of the vote in an election that it said saw a turnout of just over 47 percent.
El-Sissi brings Egypt into a new phase in its tumultuous drama since the 2011 pro-democracy uprising that ousted autocrat Hosni Mubarak after 29 years in power. The following year, Islamist Mohammed Morsi became the country's first democratically elected president, only to face massive protests by millions against him and his Muslim Brotherhood.
El-Sissi, then the army chief, ousted Morsi last summer and led a heavy crackdown on the Brotherhood and other Islamists that killed hundreds and jailed thousands more. The now retired field marshal was elevated to heroic status among his supporters, who hailed his removal of Islamists and saw him as the hope for restoring stability after three years of turmoil.
El-Sissi now restores a chain of five Egyptian presidents of military background since the 1952 coup against the monarchy — with Morsi the sole exception, not counting two interim presidents.
"I am happy the army is back to power, and that he got rid of the Muslim Brotherhood," cheered one of his female supporters, Iman Adly, whose face was painted with the Egyptian flag, amid the celebration in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
But to critics — including many activists who led the 2011 revolt, known as the Jan. 25 Revolution — el-Sissi brings fears of a return to Mubarak's autocratic state. Already, there have been sharp limits put on the right to protest, secular dissenters have been arrested, reports of police abuses have risen, and the president-elect himself has said many rights must take a backseat to restoring stability.
But some activists vowed the pro-democracy campaign will continue. The youth branch of April 6, a group that was at the helm of the anti-Mubarak protests but was recently banned by a court order, posted a picture of the el-Sissi celebrations in Tahrir, calling it "dancing over the bodies of martyrs."
"Take the square, do what you want," it said addressing el-Sissi supporters. "The revolution is coming despite what everything."
The first world leader to congratulate el-Sissi was his close ally, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, who was also opposed to the toppling of Mubarak. The monarch declared that the turmoil sparked by the Arab Spring should now come to a close.
"The brotherly Egyptian people have suffered during the past period of chaos. The short-sighted called it 'creative chaos,'" the king said in a letter on the Saudi state news agency.
He called for a donors conference to help Egypt "get out of the tunnel," referring to its wrecked economy. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf allies have already given Egypt some $20 billion in aid, and more is expected after al-Sissi's win.

Questions about mops (not steam)
I really like Libman's microfiber type mops, but when mopping large areas I wondered if there was an alternative mop you may recommend?
Why are the cotton string mops so popular? Smart n Final and Costco carry them exclusively and don't stock much else. I've always thought they were germ carriers, but I may be very ignorant!
I did see the Bona mop, but it was so thin and not very wide. Plus do you wet these mops?
Thanks for your insight!
string mops are popular partly because they can hold a tremendous amount of liquid (when mopping something up) they don't scratch floors (when mopping to clean)...
and because you can take the head off, toss it in the wash with the cleaning rags, and bye-bye any concerns about germs.
I have a Libman microfiber mop with a 20" head that really covers the territory and goes under low furniture where a string mop won't fit. I don't see this particular one on Libman's website any more, but here's a link to a site that looks promising. They have wet or dry covers and their heavy-duty mops come as wide as 48" so that should make short work of a big floor! I'd order extra covers so I could change them out as needed and save them up to wash at one time. Incidentally, the only good thing I can say about our chain link fence (well, it does keep the dogs in) is that it's great for brushing the dust and pet hair off the dry mop head. Shaking the mop just doesn't get stuff off the microfiber cloth.
Here is a link that might be useful: microfiber mops
Sounds good, I'll ck into it! =)
Funny about the chain link, I use it to dry my mop head in summer.
A large coyote jumped our 6' chain link fence last week, to try to eat my mini-Aussie! Luckily we heard him yip, yelled and ran to the back door causing the coyote to jump back over the fence and take off!! Whew! Guess 6' isn't high enough! =(

Comedy Works Tributes Robin Williams with Shows Supporting SPCC Tonight
In light of the recent news regarding the passing of comedic genius Robin Williams, Comedy Works is planning to host two fundraisers in his honor tonight, August 21 -- two shows, two locations.
Oscar-winning actor and comedian Robin Williams rose to fame with the role of Mork in the acclaimed TV series Mork & Mindy, set in Boulder, Colorado back in 1978. '
In response to the tragic loss of this comedic icon, Comedy Works believes that his memory can be best served by helping others suffering from depression and contemplating suicide. Therefore, 100% of the ticket sales will be donated to the Suicide Prevention Coalition of Colorado (SPCC). The SPCC was formed in 1999 with the mission to reduce suicide and its impact for all Coloradans through advocacy, collaboration and education. http://www.suicidepreventioncolorado.org/
Comedy Works is pleased to announce a showcase of local Denver based comedians to perform at both of our locations on Thursday, August 21.
Sam Adams will headline Comedy Works South at the Landmark, while Boulder based comedian Nancy Norton will headline Comedy Works Downtown in Larimer Square.
Comedy Works South | 7:30 PM | $12.00
Comedy Works Downtown | 8:00 PM | $12.00
Advance tickets are available. Purchase online at www.comedyworks.com or call Comedy Works Downtown 303-595-3637 | Comedy Works South 720-274-6800.

Sex gets dull and boring when there is no new passionate idea being introduced into the bedroom. When sex becomes too much as a routine, it will affect your relationship with your lover. Therefore, it will be good for you to always seek out new ideas to achieve hot passionate sex and maintain the fire between you and your lover.
500 Lovemaking Tips and Secrets - Increasing Passion and Intimacy Through Great Sex
Below are some tips that you can use to prevent your lover from losing interest:
1. Always try something new. This is one of the most important tips that I can give to you. By always trying out something new in the bedroom, be it introducing sex games, trying out new sexual positions or techniques, or having a sexual role play to enhance foreplay, you will be able to prevent your sex life to become something of a routine bedroom activity.
2. Decorate the room. Spend some time and money to decorate the room. Place some scented candles to create the mood and atmosphere for sex. Wait for your lover in the room by dressing scandalously. When your lover enters the room, dim the light and the rest are up to your imagination.
3. Have a scented bath together. Scented bath can help turn the both of you on, and create the mood for sex. Have a little foreplay in the bathtub and it will make the both of you irresistible to make love.
Do not let your sex life becomes a routine as it will most likely affect your relationship with your lover. Seek out new lovemaking ideas to spice things up now.
Are you running out of ideas to spice things up in your bedroom, and watching helplessly as your lover loses interest in you? I feel your pain… Visit the website below to get more love making ideas to save your relationship now:

Sex tips can help men improve their sexual encounters. When considering such tips, remember that the condition of the bedroom has an impact on sex.

A popular misnomer in married life is that "all husband's want from their wife is sex" and "all wives are cold and unresponsive". Well, it's not true.

What's so hard about making your wife happy?
Good foreplay techniques are essential if you want to enjoy a passionate and intimate sex with your lover. The problem for many couples who do not enjoy sex is because they tend to rush through it, eliminating foreplay altogether.
The 500 Lovemaking Tips & Secrets PDF is an electronic book written by love expert Michael Webb. Basically, this book talks about how couples who are married for years can spice up their sex lives once again, without using anything that is immoral, degrading, perverted or raunchy.

Database design is based on the concept of data dependency, which is the interrelationship between data contained in various sets of attributes. In particular, functional, multivalued and acyclic join, dependencies play an essential role in the design of database schemas. The basic definition of an information metric and how this notion can be used in relational database are discussed in this paper. We use Shannon entropy as an information metric to quantify the information associated with a set of attributes. Thus, we prove that data dependencies can be formulated in terms of entropies. These formulas make the numerical computation and testing of data dependencies feasible. Among the different types of data dependencies, the acyclic join dependency is most important to the design of a relational database schema. The acyclic join dependency, with multivalued dependency as a special case, impose a constraint on the information-preserving decomposition of a relation. It is interesting that this constraint on a relation is similar to Gibbs' condition for separating physical systems in statistical mechanics. They both assert that entropy is preserved during the decomposition process. That is, the entropies of the corresponding set of attributes must satisfy the inclusion–exclusion identity.
