Monday morning inspiration for you
in the lobby at the Benini Sculpture Ranch near Johnson City, Texas . . . gorgeous dichroic glass. See the first picture on my blog. Click on the picture to enlarge.
Here is a link that might be useful: LaPaso kinetic sculpture
WOW! It sure takes garden art to a whole new level! I'd love to make steel frames for garden art!
Calam, check out the link below to the Benini Sculpture Ranch; we went there yesterday. The garden art is kinetic, which I think means that it is so perfectly balanced that it moves constantly, even when there isn't any wind. There were many many examples of it outdoors all over the property and it was just beautiful, moving and twisting in the breeze. A wonderful place to visit.
Here is a link that might be useful: Benini Sculpture Ranch web site
One of the great things about this place is that the gallery itself is air conditioned, and the rest of the place is viewed while inside your car! Miles of road loops around and the sculptures are installed on both sides of the road. There's little or no traffic and you can just stop in the road, roll down your window, and take pictures. It's a great road trip for August in Texas!

"Adoption of English books at Palo Alto High School - Web Link"
Dune?! Really? I must be so out of touch.
You can download "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" for free. Why is this so much more expensive than the other books?

Web Link
Yep .. it can be found on-line in various formats.
This is another example of how clues school administrators can be about the shift towards digital information, and/or how much they enjoy spending the taxpayers' money.
These books will disappear in a few years. E-books will stay around for ever. Even if there are downstream charges for new e-formats, the time, effort and space required to manage/store these e-texts far outweigh paper books.
This shift in awareness needs to be driven by Sacramento. Local schools see themselves in terms of "how much money can we spend", not "how little". That change needs to be driven at the State level.

I read the comments about this book, and there was a warning saying that it is a very depressive book. Our kids do not need more depression. They had enough with the suicides. I was going to speak up at the meeting abut the books, but I waited til almost 11:00 pm, and left because they were not addressing the issue yet. Hope they did not choose this one. I the board went for it, hope they have enough psychologist available to help them deal with their feelings.

Very helpful
These shelf liners are perfect for the shelfs to make them more useful for storing smaller items. They don't fall through the shelves. The liners and sturdy and are cut at an angle along the corners so they fit the shape of the shelf. My only complaint was mine were bent lengthwise when I opened the box so they have a crease mark halfway down the middle of each one. Otherwise, they're great.Read More
Need Non-Slip Grip

Does the job.
Nothing much to say about this. It's as described, and does the job. Would've liked to have had the option for a something a little thicker, but satisfied.Read More

FAQs about Kitchen Shelves
While cupboards, cabinets and pantries are used to store food, it's often hard to find storage in your kitchen for extra items, such as wine bottles and electronic food processors. Rather than stuffing your kitchen cupboards to the point of bursting, use extra kitchen shelves to store or display extra items. When you begin looking for kitchen shelves, consider space, function and material. Look below to find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about kitchen shelves.
Bookshelves Buying Guide
Despite the name, bookshelves are about more than just shelving books. Bookshelves make versatile solutions as free-standing dry food pantries, open dressers or displays dedicated to your knick-knacks and tchochkes. They quickly convert into china cabinets, media organizers or shoe storage. Whatever the case, the right bookcase goes miles toward making your home into the haven it should be.

You need bathroom cabinets to store bathroom essentials like towels, shampoo and toilet paper. By investing in bathroom cabinets, you not only keep your bathroom organized, but you can keep your bathroom essentials right where they belong -- in the bathroom.

Normally restrained decorators tend to let loose when decorating toddler bedrooms. After all, the color and pattern palette of kids' furniture and bedroom decor tends to be far more diverse than those for adult bedrooms.

Top 5 Computer Desks for Homes

Choose a design that will accommodate the space you have available. Below, you'll find the top 5 computer desks for homes.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.

Not saying its right, but the NCAA has always worked this way. The boom gets lowered on the innocent while the guilty go on to pro ball. Just ask USC.
I'm not surprised by the bowl ban. All along, I thought the Buckeyes were going to be pretty severely punished. Tressel (and whoever else we'll never know) knowingly and blatantly violated some serious NCAA rules. And Gene Smith needs canned, like, yesterday.
Teach tolerance.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
No doubt, though, Ohio State was duped on this. They thought they would escape without a bowl ban. I thought, once the FTM charge was levied, it was 50-50. The last week, Ohio State seemed pretty confident, so I figured maybe a 'friend of a friend' may have given them reason to believe they would be in the clear. That obviously was not the case or if it was, they badly miscalculated.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Speaking of punishment, it's also a side effect of the bowl ban that any of Ohio State's rising seniors can transfer without having to sit out a year. Realistically, most of them should be close to graduating and wouldn't want to do that.
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible
All I know is that this is now all in the past.No more questions and no more waiting around.Ohio State has a new coach and a bright future.All of this junk will slowly fade into history.

I don't understand the idea that the NCAA felt "duped" last year for the Bowl Game. The whole season was a coverup, not just the bowl game. And when push came to shove, the NCAA wanted those players to play and was criticized roundly for going for the money grab. Now, they are punishing the program for playing in a bowl they insisted they play in by allowing those players to remain eligible?
I guess its good to be the king. You get to play both sides of situations, benefit from letting what should be ineligible players play, then punish the program that they played for. They give back the money, the NCAA cashes the checks from their sponsor. Now there's some real corruption.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
On another note, the parallel between Matta's arrival and Meyer's arrival is uncanny. The basketball program survived the exposure of O'Brien's shady dealings, I'm sure the football program under Meyer will experience similar success, if not more as he sits out a year of postseason play. And Buckeyes everywhere get to add another chip on their shoulder for their Rodney Dangerfield-like treatment out there. No respect, I tell you, they get no respect.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.

Today in the Bloggernacle: Mormon Tabernacle Choir streams 'Music and the Spoken Word' Valentine's special
Facebook screen shot
Valentine's special: "We love our fans!" the Mormon Tabernacle Choir proclaims. And to show this, for the first time ever, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints streamed its "Music and the Spoken Word" Valentine's special on Facebook all day Sunday. You can visit the choir's Facebook page to see if the content is still streaming. Also, "like" the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on Facebook to receive announcements about the choir in the future.
FHE love: With Valentine's Day coming up this week, I knew there would be some family home evening lesson ideas provided by creative Mormon bloggers. Besides highlighting some great Mormon Message videos that could serve as a lovely lesson, the blog Finding Joy in the Journey describes how you can make "Notes of love — On Monday we had a family home evening lesson on love. For the activity we cut hearts from cardstock and wrote what we love about each member of our family. Then we taped them all over the kitchen cupboards. The best part of the activity was going around the table and reading our messages out loud. There were lots of feel-good smiles. This, I think, has to be my favorite one." And blogger Michelle, doing a similar activity on her blog Sunshine and a Summer Breeze, created a Valentine's countdown craft making love notes to open each day until the holiday. Awesome. Check out both ideas.
Menu Chart: A little printable "Menu Chart" handily provided by the blog Strong Armor could prove to make your meal planning just a bit easier. Print it, display it in your kitchen, and fill it out each week. It's that easy.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader Photo Gallery
Lucy and Edmond are spending a dreary holiday with their cousin Eustace Clarence Scrub, who is a rather dour and mean spirited little boy. They are unexpectedly drawn into Narnia when a painting of a ship on the wall of Lucy's room comes to life, and the three children fall into the ocean to be rescued be the Dawn Treader. Once safely on board, Lucy and Edmond are greeted by their friend Caspian (now King Caspian) who has undertaken a quest to find the seven lost Lords of Narnia, as he had previously promised to Aslan. Lucy and Edmond are delighted to be back in Narnia, but Eustace is less than enthusiastic. Reepicheep is also on board, as he has vowed to find the seas of the 'utter east'.

Long Term Trend: PositiveMonday's Trade: (ASIA): 23,797.81 (- 240)UPDATE: For well over two months we have been specific in pointing to our belief that 23,800 remained an initial critical pivot point. Subsequently, the HS fell well below 23,800 and for six weeks struggled to recover. Three weeks ago, however, the Index appeared to gain footing for the first time since mid- September. As of the past two weeks, all points are bullish. Just be aware of the current formation- It could be the formation of a right shoulder of a Head and Shoulder Top. Key long term support stands at 22,000. A settlement below that point could have major LT bearish implications.

The japanese beatles were bad this year.
filixNovember 12, 2012
I think I'm going to put down grub-ex. The milky spore that I put down three years ago has done nothing. Every morning my wife and I picked as many off our blueberries as we could. And I hear other bugs are coming this way. A kind of moth? filix.
I had an army of Japanese Beatles attacking my grape vines. They chew and destroy the leaves. I used Spectracide spray. This thing is great it did not kill them immediately but it took about one hour. Its action is to attack and destroy its nervous system. After they hit with the spray they don't chow on the leaves but they appear like drunk until their demise. My Grape vines did good this season.
