Getting Stains Out of Handmade Quilt
I have a gorgeous quilt my mom made by hand 25+ years ago. It has stains that look like water stains on it - I am grossed out to say I think the dog urinated on it (not my dog - my dad's). I have had the quilt dry-cleaned but the stains are still there. Is there anything I can do to lighten the stains or to get them out? It's a shame I love the quilt and it's huge and warm but the stains make me sick. The quilt has been in the closet for many years now as I am unable to use it.
There's a product at quilt shops to soak it in that removes stains and whitens the whites. I think it is called "Restoration". We used it to whiten old linens in a class so I know it works for that.
There's also an old homemade recipe you soak in:
1 gallon water
1 quart buttermilk
2 Tablespoons lemon juice.
Please report back to us how you do so we'll benefit from your experience. That's how we all learn things here.
Here's a website that shows products to wash quilts. I hope it helps.
I was surprised to see my Orvus paste soap there that I wash quilts in. I buy it in the feed store for $26 for 7-1/2 pound jug (120 oz.). It has no phosphorus and is used to wash animals, like a shampoo. I guess word has gotten out. Darn! Now they'll raise the price.
Here is a link that might be useful: for washing quilts
What color fabric are the stains on?? Depending on how long the satins have been in the quilt and if they have been exposed to heat at the dry cleaners they may be hard to get out, and I'm sorry to say, permanent.
Try spot treatments with the stain removers for colored fabric and then wash in the quilt soap Linda (Toolgranny) suggested.
If you live in an area larger than mine LOL you may have professional quilt cleaners you could consult. Most of the time they can just look at the stain and tell you if it is possible to remove it.
I hope you succeed with such a lovely treasure.
Post a pic, I would love to see the quilt.
If you do it in the tub, lay a sheet in first to use as a lifter for the wet quilt later. Fold the outer quarter on each side to the back, and then put it into accordion folds to fit in the tub with the accordion pleats going up and down. The folds help make sure all the front gets nice swishing water, and then can be gently recompressed to get some of the rinse water out. My mom never used much soap, because she said it's really hard to rinse a quilt and water is pretty cleansing anyway. That may not matter so much these days with special quilt soaps-she always used a shampoo she liked the smell of. Enlist help to lift a wet quilt out the tub--it's going to be really heavy. Lay it out flat to dry, again on top of a sheet and my mom always puts another sheet on top of the quilt to protect from any sun and bird droppings. Nothing quite so frustrating as a clean fresh quilt that's almost dry with a plop of bird poop on it.
Petalpatsy-WOW! You gave some great advice for how to wash a large quilt in the tub! Love the sheet idea! And I've used Restoration & also QuiltWash, both available at quilt shops. I've had both products get stains of unknown origin out of very old quilts I had purchased at sales/auctions.
Sameboat-Good Luck!

Black Spots - Basil
I have about 20 seedlings (true leaves appeared around a week ago), about 3-4 days ago black spots began to appear and are spreading. From what I've read this is likely a fungus. Are these too small to treat? Should I just toss out all the affected seedlings and repot the few that aren't showing symptoms? Any other possible causes?
You might try some seaweed and diluted milk sprayed on them. I had some sort of fungus or bacteria on my tomatoes (looked a lot like fusarium wilt) and I used seaweed spray, then followed a few days later with diluted milk. (soured and was going to get thrown out)
After the milk treatment I was surprised at how much better they looked. I think they are all going to make it. Just a week ago I thought I would lose a bunch of them.
If you have them quarantined it might not hurt to give it a try. Don't overwater either. All these diseases love wet conditions!

The spray bottle is great and the sunscreen itself is like a light oily mist so it goes on easily with only minimal rubbing in required. Also, it doesn't feel greasy on your skin as it is absorbed straight away.
Oily but unscented
1 person found the following review helpful
Posted by 5398747643914412663 on Sep 27, 2012
I am allergic to fragrances, so I definitely appreciated buying an unscented sunblock. I prefer sprays, but found this one to be very oily even after applied. After applying it to 3 kids and myself, I found the oily texture remained on my hands for at least half an hour. I will probably not re-purchase this product... if I can find a similar product that didn't leave an oily residue.
Best I Have Found for Oily Skin
Posted by Reviewer1614625 on Oct 17, 2012
Pluses are: it's odorless and colorless, doesn't seem to stain clothing. I've used an entire bottle and no clogged pores! It dries to a less shiny/greasy finish than my previous favorite Zia Naturals age-defying gel sunscreen. And I actually think it is more protective because my melasma spots are not as visible now. Also, hello, less expensive! Minuses are: it is very slippery and spraying it on your hand to apply it to your face is a little bit of a bother.

goes on silky smooth and dries fast. washed off easily with no residue. the best sunscreen i have ever used ♥
superb sun defence

Median Salary by Job
4505 S Maryland Pky
Las Vegas, NV 89154
University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV)
State School, Research University, For Sports Fans
43 %
8 %
53 %
40 %
The UNLV alumni can most commonly be found in the hotel management industry, the travel and hospitality services industry, and the casino hotel industry, though they are employed throughout a wide range of sectors. The hotel industry registers as the most common industry among alumni. Those with an education from UNLV earn an average of $56K.
There's a noticeable difference between the genders; where the average man hauls in $65K after graduating from UNLV, the average woman earns only around $52K.
The most lucrative professionals among UNLV alumni are Directors of Operations; they earn a median annual salary of approximately $87K. Also approaching the top of the pay scale at about $57K and $54K are Operations Managers and Executive Directors. Collecting the smallest paychecks are Restaurant Managers — they bring in $41K.
Las Vegas is such a great city that UNLV alumni tend to stick around after wrapping up their studies, with close to one-half of grads staying on to find permanent work. UNLV alumni seeking the highest salaries end up in San Francisco, which offers median salaries of about $83K. On the flipside, the lowest-paying city popular among UNLV grads is Seattle (median compensation is $48K). Alumni express interest in Los Angeles and San Diego as well.
Rolling in at around $51K, MGM Resorts International offers the highest salaries to former students of UNLV. Though Caesars Entertainment hands out the smallest paychecks at $48K, many students proceed to find jobs at this company.
UNLV grads who hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (EE) can expect to fare better than most fellow alumni, earning $108K per year. Graduates holding a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Business & Marketing fare the worst in terms of compensation with yearly salaries of $42K.
Project Management is a popular skill among UNLV alumni, with nearly one in eight grads reporting using it on the job. Knowledge of Financial Analysis seems to be related to bigger paychecks; in fact, skilled alumni bring in salaries that are 27 percent more than their former classmates' salaries (approximately $72K). Competency in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, and Operations Management also warrants excellent retribution.
When it comes to benefits, there is room for improvement — only two-fifths of alumni are paid for vacation and just one-fourth of alumni for sick time. A strong majority of alums plan for retirement by taking advantage of a company-sponsored 401(k) program. Health benefits extend to a strong majority of alumni, and most alumni also receive dental coverage. Other benefits awarded to University of Nevada alumni include a company-subsidized cell phone, life insurance, a casual working environment, and tuition reimbursement.
Northern Arizona University grads report the most similar salaries to UNLV alums, earning $56K on average. Other schools similar to UNLV include San Diego State University, the University of Colorado Denver, and The University of Texas at El Paso.

The Space
This is a beautiful, modern, rustic and artistically decorated apartment one mile from the center of downtown Northampton, and a five minute walk to Smith campus. Hardwood floors throughout and large bright windows in this big victorian house.
THREE bedrooms, Living Room, Kitchen, Bathroom, Sweet front potch, Sunny Back Deck, Screened in Private Porch off the living room...wicker and adirondack chairs on all for enjoying the weather.
Master Bedroom: Spacious and bright with a comfortable reading area, a soft Full size bed with down comforter. Double doors lead to the living room.
Guest Bedroom: Room features a double platform bed with plenty of soft pillows and a fluffly down comforter. Windows on three sides gives this room plenty of bright sunlight, warming it in the winter and keeping things cool and breezy in the summer. It has it's own AC unit to keep things extra cool as the summer heats up. Being in the back of the house, its quiet and private. In your bedroom you will have a wall mounted 40" HD LED tv with Roku featuring free Netflix.
Single Bedroom: This beautiful, airy and artistic room sleeps one, in a very comfortable twin bed. Bright windows looking out onto the deck. Super cozy, comfortable and bright... artistically decorated with antiques, found objects and art. Room features a 32" wall mounted HD TV with streaming Netflix, and it's own AC unit.
Living Room: Comfortable, relaxing and rustic. During the warmer months, double doors lead to a spacious and screened in porch, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing.
Kitchen: Fully equipped, gas stove, bright breakfast nook looking out through two large windows. Plenty of space to cook and create!
Bathroom: Wonderful clawfoot tub, beautifully decorated and located in a private corner of the apartment.
Large back deck and screened in porch for the warmer months, with plenty of wicker and adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy.
High speed wireless throughout the house, movies and games for entertainment, quiet neighbors and beautiful neighborhood. Bike path close by, Child's Park, YMCA, Smith Campus and more.
This is an actively lived in apartment, so there would be food in the fridge, clothes in the closets, etc...but the place is always kept very clean, and ready to host. If you are looking for a private place to stay, this would be ideal.
We are an artist and musician who split time between our two apartments, allowing us to rent out the other to fellow travelers.
If you just need a room to rent, please check out our other listings (Beautiful victorian, 1 mile from dt)
(Cozy, bright getaway 1 mile from dt)
thanks for looking and look forward to having you stay!
Guest Access
Guests have access to every room except our back office which is tucked out of the way. They have three great porches to choose from on sunny days or warm nights.
Interaction with Guests
When we rent out the full house, we usually just leave a key for our guests in an easy location, and allow them to check in anytime after 2:00. Check-out is noon, and we ask that they just leave the key when they do. We have signs and notes around the house to help guests find what they need, and send a detailed description of the place and the amenities.
The Neighborhood
Everything. We are surrounded by beautiful houses from the 1800's and early 1900's. The Smith Campus stretches right up to a few streets away which provides amazing gardens, a river in walking distance, green houses, cafes and libraries. There is an art museum, and then everything that downtown has to offer...great food, live music, art galleries, shopping and more.
There is a large park a 2 minute walk away, a bike path the can take you through four surrounding towns, and the neighborhood is quiet, safe and beautiful at every time of the year.
Getting around
We are a one mile walk to downtown through the Smith Campus....very safe, beautiful and convenient. We are a mile from the Peter Pan bust station, and there is a bus system that runs all over downtown, northampton and the surrounding areas including Amherst. There is a stop at the smith campus less then a half mile from our home.
Parking is included and is free on the street in front of the house. Very safe neighborhood and lots of room since there is a bike lane as well. We both park on the street all the time.
A few rules...we do not allow pets, and definitely no smoking in the house. We prefer no smoking on the deck as well, but are flexible. We cannot allow friends of our guests to come over or stay without them being registered as guests of that room. Obviously stopping by to pick you up or drop you off, etc is fine.
The residence quarters is private, as is our office which connects with the guests hallway. Please respect our space as we do yours and your privacy.
Our stay was absolutely perfect. Kevin and Heather were available for questions anytime, their house was clean and very comfortable. I loved the back porch!! It was the perfect place to relax with our family. The location could not be better - just seconds from downtown and directly across from the gorgeous Smith campus. The house was very quiet, too! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
We stayed for 2 nights at Kevin and Heather's beautiful apartment. We were greeted warmly by Heather and then left in private for the rest of our stay. The apartment is very clean and all the beds were comfortable and there was ample room for the four of us. We loved the artwork and décor and the relaxed feel about the place.
Its a about a 15min slow walk into town and we also visited the College which is 5mins walk. Great restaurants, bars and shops nearby. Osaka Sushi was fantastic!
A great stay thank-you both x
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was exactly as advertised. And we loved the antiques and art throughout the place. We'd definitely consider another stay.
We had a great stay-the apartment is both beautiful and comfortable. Having three bedrooms worked out really well for us and two teenage kids to all have our own space. It was an easy walk to downtown and we enjoyed sitting out on the screened porch. Would definitely recommend if your heading to Northampton for a visit.
My husband and I had a very comfortable stay overnight along with my in laws! Despite being on a major road in town, the apartment was very quiet. Everything was well labeled in the home and hosts were very gracious and quick to communicate. The screened in porch was an ideal place to have coffee and it was such a short walk to Main Street.
Kevin and Heather were excellent hosts and their place was everything that we expected. If you are heading to Northampton we totally recommend staying at their place. Their Victorian apartment is very tidy, uniquely decorated with Kevin's artwork and just minutes from downtown. Thanks, Lee & Brianna
Kevin and Heather's home was fun, very comfortable and spacious. It is a safe walk down Elm Street to downtown Northampton. We stayed in Kevin and Heather's home twice during the past school year to visit our daughter at Smith College. We highly recommend their place and hope to return. The hosts were very prompt with communications. Thanks for sharing hour home with us.

Hello! We are a couple living and creating (a touring musician and an artist and photographer) in Northampton, MA. We have spent our days hunting antiques, found objects, repurposed furniture and making art to fill and decorate our home. We love to share this space with people, and hope one of our rooms will suit you!
As hosts, we treat our guests the way we like to be treated when we travel...at times you want to ask where the best places to eat and explore in a new town are, and at times you want to simply slip into a comfortable bed, watch a movie, read a book and relax. We give you all the space and privacy you need, and are also here if you need anything or have any questions.
We look forward to hosting you!

Cleaning a soiled concrete garage floor
I am considering buying a 60's ranch home, and just like most of the homes I've looked at, the concrete garage floor is badly soiled with oil, dirt,etc. Can these floors be adequately cleaned, or can you somehow paint over the stains?
If you do a google search of the words "garage floor cleaner" you will find a number of ways to clean the floor.
My dad is a mechanic and he always kept a container of kitty litter in his garage. He would cover soiled spots and with walking and driving on it, it would grind in and absorb the oil and stains. As kids, we loved stomping and grinding the kitty litter to clean the floor. We must have been really bored. :)
Not sure if clumping kitty litter would work; I'd get the clay-based kind.
I did manage to get some bad oil stains out of a garage floor by using several rounds of kitty litter and then scrubbing with full strength Simple Green, which is really good at cutting oily stains. But I was renting and needed to return the house back to its owners in good condition.
It's a garage floor. I'd scrub it well, spread a little kitty litter around and call it a day.
I just put clothes washer powder detergent on the spots.
It absorbs and can then be hosed off (with some scrubbing if desired).
An 'acid brush' on a painters pole works well.
Go to the local hardware store and get TSP, or use dishwasher detergent granules. Use water as hot as you can get it and dissolve a couple of cups of the stuff in just enough water to make it into a solution. use a stiff bristled broom or brush and scrub it onto the soiled places, let stand , add a bit more hot water and scrub again. Then rinse, rinse, rinse, using a garden hose if you can, or buckets of hot water... you can keep repeating if you have problems, but usually one vigorous treatment is enough.
best wishes

So, a lot of you have been asking (including myself) where the winter venue of Uberhaus is gonna be. The Garten as a summer venue remains unparalleled in Beirut and the region, and the old, tiny Uberhaus though cozy, was a bit too stuffy after getting used to The Garten.
This year, Uberhaus is moving into the Mar Mikhael Bus Station!
The massive, disused warehouse is coming back to life Uberhaus-style on the 22nd of November with none other than Solomun.
See you there folks, and I'll try to get my hands on a few shots of the inside soon!
Here's a taste of what's coming

Manchester United living legend and defender Rio Ferdinand made a recent move to Loftus Road, joining Premier League returnees Queens Park Rangers on a free-transfer.
The 35-year-old former England international saw his contract ran out this July, and apparently, the new gaffer Louis van Gaal is out to look for new blood to get the magic back to the red side of Manchester, signing Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera as a start.
"Thumbs up re medical now on to the exciting part #Signature EnRoute to Loftus Road," the London native posted on social media.
Thumbs up re medical now on to the the exciting part #Signature EnRoute to Loftus Road.... #QPR
— Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) July 17, 2014
Ferdinand spent twelve seasons at Old Trafford, still holding the record for being the most expensive centre-back bought by an English club, with a reported fee of £33.1million in 2002 from Leeds United.
Surely, he isn't the old Rio who could be relied upon to make those last-line tackles that could prevent goalscoring opportunities from the opposition as his aging legs have already lost quite some pace, but his wit and experience could definitely give QPR some stability on the pitch or even inside the dressing room.

Adobe wasn't messing around when they told us that Flash Player 11 would be released tonight on Android. It might not have Stage3D built in just yet, but it's still an upgrade. Go get it folks!
Update: Adobe AIR 3 is available as well.
Adobe wasn't messing around when they told us that Flash Player 11 would be released tonight on Android. It might not have Stage3D built in just yet, but it's still an upgrade. Go get it folks!
Update: Adobe AIR 3 is available as well.
Adobe Photoshop Touch was just demoed on stage here at Adobe MAX, dropping quite a few jaws and grabbing enough cheers to get us excited. I actually booked it immediately after the on-stage walk-through over to Samsung's booth to get some hands-on time with it and I've got to say, that this is going to be one cool tool when it launches in November. As a piece of software that won't be here for another month, it was very polished, easy to navigate, and powerful. While I am by no means a PS pro, I saw every tool, brush, and setting that gets me through my day.
The tablet that Adobe is using to showcase it on is a prototype from Samsung that they won't reveal much on (no it's not running Ice Cream Sandwich). It was built specifically for their new pen technology that is pressure sensitive and allows you to draw, erase and choose colors in a jiff. In fact, we aren't sure this model will ever make it to stores, but the idea of this type of pen experience on a tablet is intriguing.
The app will run $9.99 when it is released.
Update: In the Adobe executive team Q&A that is going on right now, one question brought up the idea of plug-ins to Photoshop Touch. Would there ever be any? As of now, there are no plans, but you get the feeling that Adobe has already thought about it and will possibly introduce them in the future. They did point out though, that tablets right now are where PCs were 5 years ago. What they mean by that is that we have a long way to go before tablets can even come close to what we can currently do on a computer. Could plug-ins come in the next year? Possibly. I think NVIDIA's quad-core processor is a step towards this happening.
Update 2: In case anyone was wondering, all of their new Touch apps were built in Adobe AIR.
Press release, including their other new Touch apps below. (more…)
Adobe has announced that Flash Player 11 and Adobe AIR 3 will be made available later tonight around 9PM Pacific or midnight for you east coasters. Both releases will eventually bring major improvements that will help to revolutionize the way we game and consume content across multiple mobile platforms. With this initial release though, we won't see Stage3D, which is the major component to bringing hardware accelerated 2D and 3D graphics that can do upwards of 60 frames per second.
So for now, we'll just have to look forward to these releases as stability and speed enhancers over 10.3 with the console-quality gaming to come at a later date. (more…)
Adobe MAX is going off this week and we are here in L.A. to see what goodies they have to offer. So far they have been pretty mum on details, but would imagine that there will be plenty of mobile talk for all of us to enjoy. Everyone remember the Flash Player 11 announcement from a couple of weeks back? This should be a great opportunity for us to finally get a real look at their 3D plans for it among other things. And of course, there will likely be other cross-platform announcements that are sure to dominate the show.
To follow along with all of the action, be sure to keep up with us on Twitter and here at the site.
Adobe surprised the heck out of the internet last night with their announcement of Flash Player 11 and AIR 3, along with Stage3D architecture. I think it's pretty obvious that they are ready to take online gaming, video, and applications to the next level when these two drop in early October.
As you all know, the internet is a better place with Flash in it, so if this new version 11 can live up to even half of what this press release says, then we are in for some really incredible things. With Flash Player 11 and AIR 3 plus Stage3D, users will enjoy full hardware-accelerated rendering of 2D and 3D graphics at 1000x faster than version 10. We are talking console-quality, 60 frames per second domination on computers with mobile versions on the way.
Some of the gaming industry's top dogs like Zynga, EA, and Ubisoft have already endorsed this latest release. So if Android users have continued to wonder still to this day why we aren't seeing as many big time titles as iOS, then prepare yourselves, as this release is surely going to help remedy that situation.
Release is after the break, along with the video introduction of Stage3D by the Adobe crew. (more…)
Both Adobe AIR and Flash 10.3 should be prompting you to update any minute now. Neither appear to include anything critical, but it's always good to stay up-to-date on these things, right?
AIR changes:
Flash 10.3 changes:
Market Links: Flash 10.3 | Adobe AIR
Cheers Adam and @yisroelg1!
Another minor update just hit the Flash Player 10.1 on Android bringing us all to version 10.1.106.16. A "recent change" list and blog post from Adobe aren't available yet, so we'll just have to sit tight and see what's going on here. Maybe a fix for the XOOM? OK, that was a reach.
Cheers @mtkregs!

Hotel has no transportation service from train station. It's a long, steep uphill walk; out of the question to walk with this luggage; taxi was 16-francs.
This turned out to be a great place; however, no one was there when we arrived. There was a sign on door to call them only we have no phone. Luckily, a couple from Alberta walked in and they contacted Susanne via their computer. We heard a phone ring, and the man came out of the restaurant and gave us the key. Met Susanne later; such a delightful person.
Room is very nice; larger than expected; very small bathroom. Very clean. Interesting modern frescoes on walls. Great views of St Moritz from up here.
Great breakfast--our first place with the Swiss muesli and all the nuts/fruits.
Ate here for dinner--two people told us this is the best pizza in town; it was good.

Goodman mini split overshoots set temp
I have a bonus room over the garage that I had mini split installed to heat and cool the space. Since install, if it is in cool mode it will over cool the space so I have to set the thermostat to 78-80F to make it bearable (not too cold). However I lived with it over the summer. Now that it is winter, I have the thing turned down as low as it will go (62F) and it is unbearably hot in the room.
I know the thermostat is in the remote but no matter where I place it the result is the same. I have put new batteries in the remote as well with no luck. Anyone have any ideas?
Check the installation manual for programming modes. My mini-spit has options to overshoot or undershoot the programmed temperature. In addition I have to program it to listen to the remote or the temp. sensor on the unit. Your installer may have programmed your unit wrong. If you can't solve it, call up or e-mail the manufacturer directly and ask them what could be the problem.
It appears I forgot I had asked this question here so I am just now coming back to it. Anyway, nothing in the manual about programming. I have called Goodman and they will not provide any tech support or troubleshooting to a homeowner. My installer who admitted he does not have much experience with the mini splits, says Goodman told him the circuit board is bad and the entire unit must be replaced which seems ludicrous.
Any other ideas?

Education Worries
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Some higher education leaders worry that dwindling funding from the state could hurt Oklahoma's college completion goals. The Oklahoman newspaper says University of Oklahoma President David Boren recently voiced concern about eroding public support for higher education. Boren also says he's concerned that efforts to boost college completion could be put at risk if state funding for higher education isn't a higher priority. The newspaper says state funding has made up a shrinking percentage of college and university budgets since 1980.

Years of the Dragon
The dragon enjoys a very high reputation in Chinese culture. It is the token of authority, dignity, honor, success, luck, and capacity. In ancient China, this creature was thought to speed across the sky with divine power. Emperors entitled themselves exclusively as 'dragon'; their thrones were called 'dragon thrones', their clothes 'dragon gowns'.
Personality: Strengths
Good characteristis of Dragon people are lively, intellectual, energetic and excitable. They often can be leaders and try to go for perfection. When they meet with difficulties, they are not discouraged. They are magnanimous, romantic and sensitive about their reputation. They usually have great ambition and an ingenuous personality. They hate hypocrisy, gossip and slander. They are not afraid of difficulties but hate to be used or controlled by others.
Personality: Weaknesses
They are a little arrogant and impatient, while dragon women can be over- confident. Sometimes, 'dragons' are unable to control their moods very well due to being eccentric, tactless, fiery, intolerant and unrealistic. They may feel blank about the future. There is no lack of romance in their life over all, but they seldom give true love. Therefore, they do not usually show disappointment in love. They may criticize others for their inefficiency at work. They have a nature ardent to excess and couldn't withstand setbacks which make them flee away. If they overcome these defects, they can have a brighter future.

Fortune Foretelling in 2015
People born in the year of dragon will encounter some frustrations and blocks in 2015. They have to handle everything on their own. Sometimes people would also offer a little help. They will get a promotion, for which it is suggested to get along with all colleagues in daily life. If investing properly, they will make some profits. It is necessary to pay attention to the physical condition of their family, who may get sick in March, June, September and December.
Career: Some mean people may play tricks on dragon people so that they may not perform well at work. They should seize all chances and work hard in the second half of the year. Finally they will make some achievements. Dragon people born in the year of 1976 are more likely to be promoted. Fierce competitions and the corresponding disputes between colleagues may happen in March, June, September and December. This is not a good year to change a job. Self-employed people may make some profits; meanwhile, they have to work very hard.
Wealth: Generally they are stable with wealth this year. Make a good plan of all income and expenses, and they will go through the year without any problems. Good fortune in money comes in February, July and November. In March, June and September, they should be careful in making an investment in case of a loss. Anyway, as long as long they work hard, they will earn a satisfactory amount of money. In comparison, the 1952 dragon people have the best money fortune.
Relationships: Females only have good fortune in love life in February and July. Males are probably into a relationship in any month. Singles are suggested to pay attention to their appearance and behavior in the first half of 2015. In the second half of the year, they are likely to meet the right person. Lovers should trust each other. If they add some romance into their relationship, their love will last longer. Married people should communicate a lot in daily life in case of extramarital affairs.
Health: Greasy, hot and spicy food should be limited this year, or they will have constipation or other problems with the digestive system, especially for dragon people born in the year of 1928, 1964 and 1988. This is a busy year, but dragons need to spare enough time for a good rest. They should be very careful in traveling in case of any incident, especially in March, June, September and December. They can donate some blood in the beginning of the year to avoid an unexpected accident.
Study: Dragon students prefer to make friends and try something original/novel in 2015, which has terribly negative influence on their concentration on study. This situation can be fixed by putting four bamboos or brand-new writing brushes in the east of their rooms according to Chinese astrology.

And They SURVIVED!

Two women were trespassing on a railroad bridge in Indiana a couple of weeks ago when a freight train caught up with them.
The video from the Indiana Rail Road Company was released yesterday, and it's horrifying.
You can hear the freight train whistling frantically as the women scramble in front of it to get off the bridge and the tracks.
Just as one woman looks like she'll be able to jump to safety, the other one falls down right in front of the train, and her friend goes to help her. That's when they disappear from view.
Bottom line: both women walked away from the incident. Okay, more like they ran away from it, and drove off in a nearby vehicle.
The local sheriff has identified them, and is now tracking them down, treating the incident as a crime.
After getting run over by a freight train, I can't imagine that handcuffs are really going to scare these women…

Watch & Listen
Gunnison has long flirted with the idea of a Bluegrass Festival, but has never put on a consistent event of this type. The 10 acre I Bar Ranch music venue offers a perfect setting for an event of this type, with its onsite camping, ample crowd capacity, and stunning setting. On the weekend of July 18th-20th it will hold the second annual Gunny Grass Bluegrass Festival.
Colorado has an important place in the historical development of bluegrass music. Because of this, our state has a devoted following of bluegrass music who support many long running and thriving festivals. On any given weekend in the summer you can find several events throughout the state.
The focus of the festival is bluegrass music and old time music. With an emphasis on "hot" Colorado and national bands. There will be events for the entire family, hay wagon rides, bouncy house for the kids, a square dance, fly fishing & tubing on the Tomichi Creek, arts/crafts, and eclectic food booths. Music will continue late into the evening.
Main Street business's will see increased traffic on July 18th as we collaborate with the Gunnison Arts Center and activate Friday the 18th opening night "block party style" on the 100 block of South Main Street. "Jamming" and Musicians workshops/contests will take place in the campground as well as in local galleries and Castle Creek Guitars.
A true Community event, the festival will boost tourist traffic and promote local business. Vendors from the town will be encouraged to participate.
With the support of the community, this will turn into a continuing summer event.

Described as "High-Octane Rocky Mountain DanceGrass", Whitewater Ramble (WWR) uses a simple recipe to craft it's sound: start with bluegrass instrumentation, add drums, and finish with a boundary-less approach to grassing-up everything from disco house grooves to roots to Americana. The Colorado-bred quintet combines the elements of mandolin, fiddle, acoustic guitar, upright bass, drums and vocals to explore the musical boundaries of multiple genres and to fuel their own mixture of original music and innovative cover song interpretations. Whether playing an intimate encore, acoustic and unplugged in the crowd, or surfing on top of the upright bass, Whitewater Ramble delivers a powerful and memorable live performance.
Currently on tour behind their second studio release Roots & Groove (produced by Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth), the band continues their growth as songwriters and musicians while earning legions of new fans and expanding their touring reach.
Based in Fort Collins, CO, WWR has performed and headlined on every major stage across the Rocky Mountain Region. A diverse festival resume has helped bring WWR to stages at events like the Northwest String Summit, Wakarusa, Yonder Mountain's Harvest Festival, Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival, 80/35 Festival, Nedfest, Bohemian Nights NewWestFest, The Wildflower Pavilion at RockyGrass, Copper Mountain Sunsation, Desert Rocks Music Festival, Love Your Mother Earth Music Festival, Keystone Bluegrass and Brews, The Denver People's Fair, South Park Music Festival, Westword's Music Showcase, numerous Brew Festivals, and their own annual two day music and camping festival, Ramble on the River. With over 800+ performances under their belt, the group has truly established themselves as one of the hardest working groups in the jam scene today.
Patrick Sites – Mandolin/Vocals
Patrick Latella – Acoustic Guitar/Vocals
Howard Montgomery – Upright Bass/Vocals
Zebulon Bowles – Fiddle/Vocals
Paul Kemp – Drums
Four local Gunnison Valley super-pickers incorporating Bluegrass, Traditional Old Time Appalachian Music, Folk, Country, Jazz, Blues and everything in between. The band name "Simpler Times" says it all. The band is pursuing the restoration of, if just for a moment, a simpler time in life.
Sam Pankratz- Guitar, Vocals
Drew Murdza- Mandolin, Guitar, Fiddle, Vocals
Carl Meinicke- Upright Bass
Pierce Gresham- 5-String Banjo, Clawhammer Banjo, Fiddle, Vocals
Stray Grass specializes in a high-energy interpretation of acoustic music. Although played on traditional instruments (most of the time), the musical stylings of Stray Grass are anything but traditional!
Pete Langford- upright or "doghouse" bass
Guy Stephens-acoustic guitar, guitjo, mandolin and provides vocal support
Garry Tulllio - vocals, mandolin and guitar
The Grant Farm is an exciting new collaboration of two of the hottest acoustic musicians on the scene today. Tyler Grant (guitar) and Andy Thorn (banjo, guitar) have been bandmates in the Emmitt-Nershi Band for the past two years. When not on the road with Billy and Drew, these two musicians need a creative outlet for their own music. Since Tyler moved to the Front Range last summer the duo have performed dozens of shows in the area sometimes joined by Eric Thornin or Benny Galloway on bass and Jordan Ramsey on the mandolin. The duo can be heard alongside Nershi and Emmitt on the latest acclaimed Emmitt-Nershi release, "New Country Blues"
Tyler Grant is a versatile guitarist who has made his mark on the Flatpicking scene, winning most major contests including the National Flatpicking Championship in 2008 and the Merlefest Doc Watson Guitar Championship in 2009. He was an original member of Adrienne Young and Little Sadie, has performed internationally with April Verch and Abigail Washburn, and has been the guitarist for the Drew Emmitt Band for four years. "Tyler Grant's name has been popping up everywhere in the acoustic music scene over the past few years. His new CD 'In the Light' shows why."-Flatpicking Guitar magazine.
Andy Thorn was raised in hotbed of musical activity in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina. After graduating from UNC-CH with a music degree, he made big impressions on audiences across the country as a member of Larry Keel and Natural Bridge. Although banjo is his speciality, Andy is an outstanding multi-instrumentalist with a powerful approach to guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. His first western stints were with The Broke Mountain Bluegrass Band and the Colorado Playboys, but since moving to Boulder two years ago to join the Emmitt-Nershi Band has become a musical hero of the Colorado scene. "Andy is a young banjoist fast emerging as one of a new generation of hot pickers. His CD 'Bolin Creek' establishes him as a rising star in bluegrass music." -Bluegrass Unlimited
Jon Stickley is an flat-picking guitarist from Asheville, NC. The Jon Stickley Trio showcases original material, as well as interpretations of bluegrass and jazz music. The trio leans toward a relaxed approach were the members are free to explore the song, in the moment. Members of the trio are subject to change, but have included Lyndsay Pruett- Fiddle (Futureman), Ryan Oslance- Drums (Aleuchatistas), Bobby Britt- Fiddle (Town Mountain), Mike Ashworth- Drums (5th House), and Jeff Stickley- Guitar (Hammer No More the Fingers).
His first solo album, Lions, was featured in the August 2010 edition of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, where editor Dan Miller stated, "If you want to hear some great old guitars played expertly, I highly recommend Lions." Jon has been a member of many North Carolina and Colorado bands including, The Shannon Whitworth Band, Biscuit Burners, Big Fat Gap, Broke Mountain, Colorado Playboys, New Vintage, and is currently playing bass with Town Mountain.
The Blue Canyon Boys, winners of the 2008 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, have been picking and entertaining audiences with their unique style of bluegrass in the Colorado area for over five years.
This high energy bluegrass powerhouse consists of Gary Dark on mandolin, Jason Hicks on guitar, Drew Garrett on bass, and Jeff Scroggins on banjo. Blending incredible brother-duet-style vocals and hard-driving instrumental proficiency, this energetic Colorado band has quickly become a mainstay of the front range bluegrass scene. Rooting themselves in tradition, The Blue Canyon Boys draw upon influences like the Stanley Brothers, Jim and Jesse, and Jimmy Martin to entertain audiences with a thoughtful selection of songs, fine musicianship and humorous stage presence.
They have been earning a reputation as a bluegrass band that plays with sincere intensity and raw emotion. The Blue Canyon Boys also offer well-crafted original material, which can be heard on their debut CD, "Just An Ol Dirt Road", and their sophmore release "Hello City Limits". Their third CD entitled, "House Full of Sorrow" was released in 2011.
Bruce Hayes and The Ragged Mountain Ramblers
Bruce Hayes plays Rhythm & Celtgrass music, a fusion of musical styles that combines acoustic and electric instrumentation with elements of Rock, Bluegrass, Celtic, and R&B music. Collaborating with The String Cheese Incident and Acoustic Junction, Hayes helped define the acoustic jam band sound. He continues this tradition performing original songs and arrangements on Mandolin, Guitar, Dobro, foot board and his latest creation, the Stratobassto.
"...the most phenomenally talented performer you've ever seen. A master of the guitar, mandolin, and dobro, he even dances a rhythm while he plays - Bruce will astound you. He writes great songs, has a hell of a voice and is a supreme entertainer." Acoustic Coffeehouse Nederland CO
Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, recording engineer, one man band -Bruce Hayes does it all. The forty-something entertainer has been a professional musician since high school and his experience shows.
"...lightning-fast mandolin licks...phenomenal guitar picking...a cross between Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges." Berkshire Eagle Pittsfield MA
On stage Hayes' presence is electrifying. He taps his feet on an amplified floor board, slaps accents on his guitar and cheeks, wails on the harmonica and sings charismatically. His fingers dance around the strings with incredible fluidity creating rich harmonic textures and rapid-fire riffs.
"What he was doing with that guitar gave me chills... Awesome." Top O' the World WSC
The music is fresh and original but steeped in tradition; borrowing from blues, bluegrass, celtic, world beat, folk, rock and jazz.
"...styles that could be loosely termed "Mountain Music", (Hayes is an accomplished bluegrass player) but Bruce's mountains reach from the Andes to the smokies and back to his home range in Colorado." Larry Good , Aspen Daily News
Inspired by the Beatles and the Monkees, Hayes began studying music at age seven. His mother, a former broadway dancer, would insist that he study piano first, but his attention was always diverted by a small Sears Silvertone guitar. He formed his first band in seventh grade and got his first paid gig as guitarist for the High school jazz ensemble when he was fifteen. In College he majored in classical guitar but after attending his first bluegrass festival he traded the classical guitar for a mandolin and began performing at ski areas.
"...Bruce Hayes is the Jimi Hendrix of the mandolin..." Crested Butte Chronicle & Pilot
Perfoming as a solo act, a sideman, or with his bands, Hayes has given over 3,000 performances in many of America's finest music venues, and several prominent music festivals. His music has taken him across the continent a dozen times, and twice around Europe. He's jammed on stage with Joe Cocker, Arlo Guthrie, New Riders, Acoustic Syndicate, Railroad Earth, Darrell Scott, Tim O'Brien, Drew Emmitt; opened shows for David Bromberg, Jorma Kaukonen, Merle Sanders, Subdudes, Neville Bros., Dave Mathews, Sam Bush and David Lindley; and recorded in Nashville for grammy winning producer, Jon Vezner.
"...definately not some New Age dork. Man, he really cuts loose!" Tom Robbins
In 1997, Ragged Mountain Records released Hayes' second album, LUNCH. A follow-up to the popular PACK OF DOGS compilation CD that Hayes produced and performed on, LUNCH features more of Colorado's finest musicians including Tony Furtado, members of Leftover Salmon, String Cheese Incident, Acoustic Junction, The Motet, and the BRUCE HAYES BAND.

Muni chief optimistic despite projected budget shortfall
Muni is projecting close to an $80 million budget deficit by 2013-2014. The agency released its preliminary budget report Monday.
Despite the shortfall, Muni wants to change the minds of riders and drivers who are skeptical that the service can be reliable and on time. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which oversees Muni, has drafted goals for the next six years that Muni chief Ed Reiskin calls "ambitious."
One of the agency's goals is to decrease the gaps and bunching of Muni vehicles, with which riders are well familiar. The agency wants to decrease the gaps for 25 percent of ridership by 2014, and for 65 percent of riders by 2016.
The transit agency would create a new key performance indicator to measure the percentage of trips that have less than two minutes of spacing between vehicles, and gaps in service that exceed five minutes.
The agency also wants to improve on-time performance, which currently hovers at 73 percent, below the city mandated 85 percent. By next year, the agency wants to see on-time performance improved to 77.5 percent.
"The best ways for us to improve reliability is to have the operators we need working, and have the equipment we need functioning," Reiskin said.
The agency will to receive $20.3 million from the passage of Proposition B in the Nov. 8 election. It willroll out bus signal priority on key routes. Reiskin said this will help with efficiency.
But to improve transit and to avoid service cuts and fare hikes, the agency needs new funding. Some revenue ideas include charging drivers at parking meters on Sunday and charging single-cash-fare riders an extra $.25.
"We can't go to the same wells over and over again," said Director Malcolm Heinicke. "We're not going to solve the deficit with nickel and diming solutions."
The board made no decisions on what it plans to to close the projected budget deficit.
So what can Muni riders expect in the next few years?
"Improved reliability, better service," Reiskin said. "I think that's what I was hired to deliver and if not, then I probably need to look for a new job."

Neonatal meetings to focus on developmental outcomes.
Joint conference days
The annual Neonatal Nurses' Association of New Zealand (NZANN) annual conference is being held in Wellington in September, with the theme The Amazing Newborn. The association is joining the Perinatal Society of New Zealand and holding their two conference days together. The theme for the society's meeting is Multi-disciplinary Care of the Newborn and the overall theme of the combined conference days is developmental outcomes.
Guest speakers include professor at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne, Lex Doyle, and Noel French from the King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth. Each will present different viewpoints on developmental outcomes.
A multi-disciplinary approach will be taken and a range of aspects will be looked at, with particular interest in developmental outcomes. Topics will also include the Brainwave Trust, use of EEG monitoring, postnatal depression, sudden unexplained infant death, speech language therapy, fertility treatment, infant mental health and language interpretation. A multidisciplinary approach to storytelling will include a nursing model, a medical model, photography, a case study and a parents' perspective, giving a wide-angle lens approach.
Abstracts have been received and a series of breakout sessions will provide a selection of other current clinical topics.
The NZANN AGM will focus on the association's rapid progress to NZNO college status, and will be followed by a cocktail party.
The two conference days (NZANN's is on September 13 and the society's is on September 15) will be linked by the Eric Burnard Memorial Charitable Trust Day (September 14), titled "Decision making at the margins of viability".
Neonatal intensive care units are often in the media, with a range of ethical dilemmas being highlighted. It is important to keep up to date with research and experience on these matters. At this year's conference days, we hope to provide some dialogue, debate and direction.
The three days will be busy, providing a wealth of input, with a particular focus on what we are all trying to achieve--good developmental outcomes.

It's a 'duh!', but if "Man of Steel" hits big, it's likely Warner Bros will come to director Zack Snyder and asked him to direct their Superman-sequel project, "Justice League".
Speaking to Empire Magazine (via HenryCavill.Org), Snyder says there's a lot riding on his new 'Superman' movie, including the fate of the on-again off-again on-again "Justice League" movie, which unites the cast of Superheroes from the DC Universe.
In the same mag, new 'Superman' Henry Cavill says he hopes not to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Brandon Routh, who has barely been seen since "Superman Returns" in 2006.
"I certainly haven't got my mind set on failure," he said when asked by Empire Magazine if he's worried "about pulling a Brandon Routh and disappearing" after the release of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. "That is a bad approach – you want to strive for success." As for what he has lined up next, his schedule is clear, but James Bond is still on his mind. "What a wonderful challenge to follow up Daniel Craig. He has set the bar so high."
"Man of Steel" is out in July.
