Highway 1
A Modern Guide to Pescadero
An hour south of San Francisco, the relaxed town of Pescadero is an agrarian paradise with a scenic coastline that just won't quit. Far from the sting of the city's farm-to-fork bromides, you'll delight on actual farms and fork your way through foods harvested from the local land. Plus, there's so much pie! Go now when rain brings vibrant green fields, crisp sea air, and cozy interiors.
A Road Trip to Bodega Bay
Curvy Highway 1, breathtaking vistas of the ocean, lush meadows, oyster farms, small towns, local delicacies, and pristine nature is what you can expect on your drive up to Bodega Bay. Only about two hours away from San Francisco this day trip will give you the satisfaction of a faraway weekend escape.
Escape From SF: American Abalone Farms
For this week's Escape from SF, we toured American Abalone Company in Davenport with owner-farmer Tom Ebert. Ebert walked us through the process of farming abalone all the way from the seedlings to harvest to edible delicacies.
Escape From SF: Big Basin Redwood State Park
For this week's Escape from SF, we ventured south to the oldest state park in California, Big Basin Redwood State Park. Here we caught a glimpse of towering trees, tumultuous waterfalls, tent cabins, and the beautiful coastline at Waddell Creek.
A Modern Guide to The Monterey Peninsula
With storybook architecture, perennial morning mist, and more fireplaces per capita than anywhere on the planet (or so it would seem), the Monterey Peninsula is one of the Bay Area's most charming escapes.
Escape from SF: Steep Ravine Rustic Cabin Getaway
We escaped the city this week to check out the Steep Ravine Cabins, which, blessedly, you can rent for a night's stay, in Mt. Tamalpais State Park, just across the Golden Gate Bridge.
Escape from SF: Tule Elk Reserve in Point Reyes
For this week's "Escape from SF," we ventured out to the Tule Elk Reserve in the Point Reyes National Seashore to observe the fall mating season and the explosion of majestic elk.
A Modern Guide to Santa Cruz
For local, design-savvy getaways, San Franciscans usually look north to Napa and Sonoma. But 90 minutes south of the city, Santa Cruz has been quietly redefining a style once dictated by a scruffy mix of surfers, students and free-spirits. Today, the laid-back beach town exudes a creative new energy as exemplified by the following hip spots.
7 Places to Stay Along the California Coast in an Airstream Trailer
Like California's majestic Highway One, the Airstream is an icon of the great American road trip. A gleaming throwback to the Golden Age of Travel, the aluminum-clad trailer debuted in 1936 and has inspired roadside envy ever since.
Glamping on the Mendocino Coast
This week we escaped north to the rustic seaside Howard Creek Ranch Inn and B&B for some glamping, piled-high country breakfast, and super strong cowboy coffee. Perched up on the hillside in Westport, we stayed in the dog-friendly Seaview cabin complete with a outdoor kitchen, charcoal grill, enclosed outdoor shower, and massive quilts.

Field Observer
The lady across the aisle saw my startled look upon awakening and said, "You dropped your string."
Oh, thanks. Thanks very much.
In comments to the last post, reader Knit Wit took exception to my apparent comparison of the fine city of Indianapolis to a cornfield. I can well understand, and must clarify. Although I took the bus to Indy, it was not my ultimate destination. My parents live on the far outskirts of Kokomo, a city barely large enough to have skirts at all. This is the view from their front porch.
The views to the rear, right and left are similar. When I said I'd be reporting from the fields, I wasn't being cute. I meant I'd be reporting from the fields. Mind you, the farmer went and rotated the crops on me so instead of corn fields they're bean fields. I swear there was corn there last year.
I've done a bit of knitting since I arrived but not much, as there's a great deal of work around the house to help with. In return, my father has promised before I leave to photograph the steps in working Garter Stitch Jacquard. His help is vital, since of course one can do many things while one is knitting but shooting photos of my own hands at work is beyond my present capabilities.
This is not to say there has been no time for fiber-related excitement. Au contraire. On the first night I was here, the neighbors dropped by as they often do of an evening in Mayberry, and said they'd be bringing by an "old piece of junk" from the garage for me to look at.
This is what showed up the next morning.
I almost passed out. On closer inspection, I was fairly stunned. The entire flyer mechanism, including an original bobbin, was intact. Dirty and beat up, but intact.
In fact, aside from the distaff and a few pegs the only thing missing was the footman. The wheel is out of true and has a clumsy repair to the rim, but the spokes and joins are still tight.
Several hours, much love and a bottle of lemon oil later, here's what they have.
Since I took this picture, the owner has made up a beautiful new footman out of oak. I've attached it and the wheel runs perfectly. They'll be getting it back along with instructions for future preservation, and a warning that if it ever sees the inside of the garage again I will make a citizen's arrest and place the wheel in foster care.
Someday perhaps there will be courses in proper wheel parenting in the schools. Until then, we can but be vigilant and save those that chance to come our way.

Didn't you also find a spinning wheel at a flea market or something a while ago? This one looks great.
- Nancy said...
She's Gee-ore-gee-ous! I really, really wish I was surrounded by farmer's fields like that...don't suppose there's a nearby house for sale reasonably economically affordable that's also surrounded by fields and therein Quiet....
- Saisquoi said...
Jesus, that's a gorgeous wheel. Why don't my neighbors inflict this sort of junk on me? It's amazing what a little love can do, isn't it?
- Anna-Liza said...
Wow, what a wonderful find, and what a wonderful save! I sure hope the neighbors understand what a treasure they have--if not, you're totally justified putting it in foster care.
I used to live in the middle of cornfields out here in Colorado. It was so quiet we could often hear the electric lines hum. We had a nest of kestrels in the tree just outside of our bedroom. I still miss that place sometimes.
The only drawbacks were the proximity to crop dusting and the fact that we needed to drive at least half an hour to get anywhere to do anything.
Crop dusters do some spectacular flying, but you don't want to breathe that stuff. - 1:44 PM
- knitography said...
Oops, I laughed out loud at work at your 'dropped string' fiasco. How to explain what is funny to my co-workers. I knit on the bus frequently and live in constant fear of having that exact thing happen to me, especially when the driver happens to have a lead foot on both the brake and the gas. I hope your wool didn't pick up too much nasty bus schmutz.
PS: Nice job on the wheel! - 1:56 PM
- Anonymous said...
At least your parents' front porch still looks out on fields. Over the past couple of years, the bean fields across a very similar country road in Idaho (all states that begin with I have these roads, you know) have been taken over by multistory mega-homes. I miss the beans.

- funfairiegirl said...
I hope you also left them with the warning that should they ever get rid of that you will adopt it for them. I think I peed a little when I saw that wheel. We saw a similar wheel in worse condition at an antique mall a few weeks ago for $150.
- ellipsisknits said...
Oh wow, I would have been hard-pressed not to keep a wheel like that all to myself.
I know what you mean about the corn though. I think it's cute and rural, but when my husband moved to Ohio (which isn't even quite as bad as Indiana) he had nightmares about the corn taking over and smothering him. (and if he ever reads this blog he will be very upset that I shared this) - 2:23 PM
- Cindy G said...
I'm convinced it's karma
- KnitNana said...
I'm so glad my office is well away from the rest of our staff...I would have had trouble explaining my fit of hysterics over your yarn rolling around on the bus floor!
(((hugs))) - 2:40 PM
- Alwen said...
Yargh. The people who think "quiet" & "fields" are equivalent haven't been here during manure-spreading season, seeding-the-fields-while-the-weather-holds season, spraying-goddess-knows-what-from-a cropduster season, or quick-harvest-the-soybeans-ahead-of-the -rain season.
There's nothing like three combines beating their way around 900 acres of soybeans at 3am to define "quiet" -- quiet is when they STOP. - 2:49 PM
- dale-harriet said...
Aaah, now see - I try to knit a few inches of toque quickly, then I put the ball of yarn *inside*; don't even ask me how I know to do this. I happen to be hugely partial to "fields"...corn, beans, wheat -- have you ever heard the corn growing, in the heat of a stilly-August night? Mazel Tov on that wheel; if the owner made the new part I can only assume that he DOES know what he has and its value. A thing of beauty! I'm awfully tempted to get a wheel because I find them so extraordinarily magickal - but then I'll be tempted to start spinning...not quite there.....yet.
- Grumpy said...
Your such a lovley guy Franklin. I just love reading what you write. Long may your string remain ravelled.
- Rachel H said...
Beautiful little wheel. I'm halfway through a bottle of orange oil in my preliminary work on fixing up an old walking wheel. The wood of the wheel rim is so dry I have to work to get some moisture back in before I risk taking sandpaper glue and nails to it.
I've been meaning to mention - have you popped over to look at the designs on knitspot? Anne's got a couple of simple but lovely baby dresses on there that your niece would show off beautifully. - 3:24 PM
- braeden said...
Sigh. I wish someone would show up with an old piece of junk for ME to look at...
- David said...
Ya know, people talk about rude New Yorkers and the friendly and open people of the Midwest, but I know I would never have let someone's yarn roll back and forth on a bus like your inconsiderate fellow travelers did.
I think we need to improve basic math scores before we start introducing proper spinning wheel care in our school classrooms, but it's nice thought. - 3:50 PM
- Em said...
Oh, that wheel is just beautiful! I hope now that she's all cleaned up she gets the love, care, and *use* that she deserves!
- Cherice said...
What a gorgeous spinning wheel!
I grew up in California and now live in Colorado along the Front Range. I thought that the drive across Nevada and Utah (and New Mexico and Arizona) was flat, but it's positively hilly compared to your picture! - 4:05 PM
- ~Knitting Addict~ said...
Oh my, I so wish I lived there! Looks like paradise to me!
And that wheel! OMG -- Old piece of junk indeed! I think you need to arrest them for even uttering those words about such a beautiful piece -- even before it was cleaned up it was lovely.
I think one of us (or you) need to adopt it immediately -- and give it the love it deserves! - 4:06 PM
- Ted said...
Omigawd. I'm guessing it's a Quebec production wheel. Amazing.
Wasn't it on your last bus trip that you were asked if you'd learned to knit in prison? - 4:08 PM
- amanda @ lorna's laces said...
kokomo...well i have met many many a fella from kokomo in my day and none of them were anything but trouble! i loved them all very dearly but they were trouble! i think it might be something in the water there.
the wheel is quite lovely good job bring it back from garage junk! - 4:17 PM
- MonicaPDX said...
Yeesh! I'm not from NY City, but I agree with David. Not one person on the bus thought to pick up your string?!? I hope it was superwash Cascade 220...
Maybe no corn, but least the fields have flowers. ;) (Though yeah, flat. I get nervous in flatness like that. [g]) And that wheel - ahhh, much good karma, there. What a piece of luck they decided to show her to you! She looks gorgeous after some love. - 4:22 PM
- Amy said...
I believe you that it was corn! Usually farmers rotate the fields every few years. So when the corn is growing, the nutrients the beans like better build back up, and when the beans grow, the corn's favorite nutrients and minerals are being stored up. That way we don't exhaust the soil as quickly.
- Sarah said...
Make sure you pack a yarn bra for the ride home -- bus floor gunk and fiber arts just don't mix!
- maegwynn said...
Is there any chance that that wheel made by I. Leight? It looks like my quite like my antique wheel. I am lucky enough to have my great-grandmother's spinning wheel. Guess I come by that fiber gene honest ; )
- Nancy said...
Post #2 in response to commenter --
By the way...Quiet Does equal fields when you've had to put up with traffic noise, etc. I Love the sound of farm equipment. Have been raised with it. Lived in Colorado with it. I almost desperately miss it here in PA. Give me all those farm sounds Any day. I hate city and suburban noise. - 5:40 PM
- k. said...
I "have kin" in Howard Cty and in Kokomo, so when you said you'd be reporting from a cornfield, I did not doubt for a second. In fact, I took your story about "dropped yer string" as evidence that, yes, you were certainly no longer in Chicago.
And I love that your parent's neighbors knew that the wheel was the sort of junk you'd be interested in. "Looks high-falutin'. I bet that Habit boy'll know what to do with it." - 6:32 PM
- Kate said...
...and that is the very reason I made my knitting bag with an interior pocket, to hold the yarn and keep it safe and clean.
What a beautiful old wheel! Perhaps you should do a home visit and set up some sort of Nanny-cam, just to make sure she is well-treated. - 6:50 PM
- Teresa said...
Gotta love a week in the Indiana countryside!
- Mindy said...
This was prompted by Cherice's "flatness" comment--it reminded me of this bit of research I'd heard of:
"Kansans have always fondly claimed that their state, in the heart of America's Great Plains, is "as flat as a pancake." Using modern analytical techniques, geographers Mark Fonstad, William Pugatch, and Brandon Vogt measured the flatness of Kansas, and contrasted it with the flatness of a pancake. Their results demonstrate that, of the two, Kansas is considerably flatter. Barring the acquisition of either a Kansas-sized pancake or a pancake-sized Kansas, mathematical techniques were needed to do a proper comparison..." (I Googled "prove Kansas flatter pancake" to find this text, in the first Google result; full story is much better, of course) - 7:57 PM
- Amy O'Neill Houck said...
I'm sure the spinning gods will reward you for rehabilitating the neighbor's wheel. I looked up garter jaquard in the book you mentioned and the mention is so small, I'm sure you must have invented your own way to do it or come up with an exciting technique that I can't wait to see--the photo you took looked amazing. Have fun in Indiana!
- Donna Lee said...
I did the next worst thing to dropping a ball of yarn, I dropped a dpn on a train that made frequent stops and took on lots of passengers. I could hear it rolling back and forth for the whole ride. One "helpful" individual said "it rolled back there". In other words, he saw it and couldn't be bothered to bend over and pick it up. I never got it back. Some employee probably found it and wondered what it was and thought a terrorist was on the train....
- shell said...
Wow - that looks great- what I wonderful find! Love how the shine brings it all to life again after the years of neglect.
- DianeS said...
Nice save!
- Kristen said...
Oh man. I keep hoping someday someone will say, "I got this thingamajig in the garage--you want it?" and it will be something like this.
I grew up in close proximity to corn and beans. I know the landscape well. On really quiet nights we could hear cows... - 9:24 PM
- Deniasha said...
What a great treasure! If any every abandoned spinning wheel was as lucky to have you as a foster father!
- janna said...
Beautiful wheel! And even moreso when you got done with it!
I love the view from your parents' front door. I really missed those flat, flat, flat fields of corn and beans, and the idea of being closer to them was one small part of my moving back to the Midwest. Little did I know that Iowa has a lot more hills than central Illinois/Indiana! (Yes, I grew up in Illinois and had never been to Iowa....) - 12:19 AM
- FiberQat said...
What a lovely little wheel. I'm surprised you didn't slap the neighbor silly and took off with it for the next bus out of town.
- elan said...
How do we apply to become a foster parent?
- Lorraine said...
Up here (in Canada) the fallow fields are planted with beans when they are doing crop rotation every 3 years or so.
The wheel does look like a Quebec one. You did a splendid job in restoring it. - 9:00 AM
- Anonymous said...
I thought the footman was a person. Sort of Cinderella's butler.
- KristenJ said...
I have that wheel! (Hmm, so that's what the intact flyer is supposed to look like...) I won't tell you how cheap it was, but it did come from somebody's garage, and it works too. Woop!
- QuoterGal said...
I just happened upon your (very well-written) blog - I am neither a knitter nor photographer, but was led here by another blog's (http://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/) coverage of your Spring '06 medal kerfuffle (btw, your responses to the offending two were hi-larious.)
I felt compelled to comment when I saw that gorgeous spinning wheel, your work on it, and your generosity and forbearance in letting the neighbors retain it. *grin* What a thing of beauty - how envious I was when I heard the story. Living in major urban areas for most of my life, I have never lucked upon something quite like this in anyone's garage or yard sale or junk shop - they are simply too rare and sought-after.
We have an old wheel - the wheel only - that came down in the family, and my grandmother was an antique dealer, so I am accustomed to the cherishing of these kinds of tools, but honestly, what a lovely and meaningful piece of "junk." Thanks for letting me see it, and for sharing your story. - 5:27 PM
- Sandy said...
Franklin --
I grew up in Joliet and lived in Lowell, IN for a few years. I know people from Kokomo and yes, it is a cornfield/beanfield. It is pretty in it's own way, but I traded it in for a mountain view.
I almost spit coffee when I saw a picture of that spinning wheel. My grandmother had one just like it. I'd completely forgotten about it! Thanks for sharing. It took me way down memory lane....
I'm glad you could fix it. - 10:09 PM
- KellyD said...
OMG that's gorgeous!! You lucky,, lucky man. And your restoration work was awesome as well. Soooooooo... how are you going to get it back home while riding the bus? Buy it it's own ticket? Hmmmmmmmm.......
- Penny said...
@#($*&@#$ these wonder wheel stories keep happening to the rest of the world. i'll keep dreaming and trying to make my money grow. it's beautiful. :)
- Nic said...
I can't believe nobody woke you to stop your yarn escaping!
I hope you don't mind, I've just added you as a friend on Ravelry (so hang me, I'm playing!!!) Love reading your blog, you have so many interesting tales to tell.
Nic - 7:01 AM
- Ginger said...
I wanted to learn to spin for a long time and ignored the urge until I got a drop spindle and I'm hooked. I was showing my new toy to my mother and she mentioned my grandmother's two spinning wheels and she thought my cousin had one of them - a small one. She asked my cousin and his reply was 'so that's what those TWO things in the attic are. Do you want both of them? No charge.' A small wheel and a walking wheel. Both old when my grandmother had them 50 years ago. Even if they don't work, I'm planning on trying to restore them when I get them. (and I've had two offers from people to buy them from me, sight unseen)
Ginger - 8:26 AM
- KathyMarie said...
Stunning wheel. I'm not a spinner (yet?), but I love seeing antiques refurbished and made beautiful again.
I grew up on the edges of a cornfield with all the quiet and the bullfrogs and coyotes at night. I'm enjoying living now in the downtown of a small city/big town, but sometimes I miss that country stillness. Enjoy your stay! - 10:01 AM
- Roxie said...
Sometimes, yarn just wants to take itself for a walk. Imagine the sights it saw! It kept coming back to check on you, and since you were sleeping still, it wandered off again. What an adventure that ball of yarn had.
The wheel leaves me speechless! - 12:03 PM
- Terri said...
That wheel is beautiful thanks to your loving care - GOOD JOB! I grew up out in a near skirtless rural area of Missouri. The rural life is not without its charm, but give me the city, and a place within 25 miles to buy everyday items any time and I am fine.
Enjoy your trip. - 1:01 PM
- Kirstin said...
Would the foster care be enforced by the Knitting Police? You know, the ones who ticket for yarn abuse, pattern alterations, and independent fiber thought?
- Bloomington, IN said...
I LOVE that you say "of an evening." That is sooo hoosier.
- Beth said...
Yeah, Kokomo may be rural, but it has the only Sonic for miles. They closed all of the ones here in Indy.
And looking out your folk's front door and seeing that would be a dream come true, as long as there was a sheep pen around somewhere. - 4:56 PM
- Melissa said...
That may be the funniest post I've ever read (it was the "string" that really got me)
- AliP said...
Oh the "dropped string" !!! Ohohoh so funny and sad.
You need a yarn caddy bag for your wrist, darlin'. - 8:54 AM
- Jen W said...
So, wait a moment. Did that woman sit and watch your yarn unwind forwards and backwards on the floor of a BUS?? And did nothing? Some people, I tell you.
- Lyssa said...
well done on that wheel! yowza! and i do hope that the warnings were well received. :)
- Renee said...
My dad, an expert woodworker, recently restored a wheel for me with the help of some literature kindly supplied by Rachel H. The transformation is amazing. Now...if I could only stop spinning garbage we'd be allll set.
- TO in SP said...
I can't wait to see you in that "yarn bra" one of the earlier comments suggested. I'll have to ask one of my straight buddies to tell me the best way to undo a bra strap. Never thought I'd need to know.
- kalkette said...
Hey Franklin, I have been reading your blog for awhile and really like your style. I "friended" you on Ravelry. I hope that's okay. Let me know if it isn't.
Thanks for the great stories. - 1:44 PM
- Ina said...
Ah, don't be too hard on them. Anyone who can make their own oak replacement footman gets leniency from me.

Thanks for the great photos of your wheel!!I'm set to inherit my great grandmothers Saxony wheel this Friday. I am soooooo excited!!
Your pictures will be so helpful in seeing what's missing, damaged or broken on my wheel when I get it home and clean it up.
I can't spin as yet, but spent some time at Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg, ON getting a lesson from a spinner working in the wool room this past weekend as she worked on a Saxony wheel.

Kokomo! Aigh! It was good to see a photo. I grew up in Marion but have not been back in ... *cough*... awhile. Those fields are fondly recalled.

Of late, there has been no "magic realism" from your spinning wheel. Are you still spinning?

You know... some of the best stuff I know was first described to me as "junk from the garage/ attic/ basement".
Midwesterners will save everything, even when they themselves don't know the value.
This is how you can tell I am truly from the Midwest.
I once heard a farmer say that crop rotation keeps them from getting too "bored".

I have an old wheel that I rescued from my parents basement. It needs some serious TLC. It's missing a spoke but the bobin and spinner thingy are there. Any suggestions??

I also feel for you and the dropped string - once on the subway the ball of cotton from the blanket i was working on fell out of my bag - I didn't realize it until i'd made it out through the gate, and it was one of those evil exit-only gates so all I could do was stand there and re-wind the ball...
- loraine said...
Think of the unwinding ball of yarn as the woman's therapy. Maybe she needed something even more mindless than riding on a bus to help her through the trip. Isn't that what cathartic means?
Forgot how I came here... oh, yeah, I "online know" Knit Wit, whom you mentioned. Big happenings in the needlework blog world.
I'm on Ravelry too now (simra). Exciting, isn't it? We're part of the beginning of the Revolution!!

Symptom |
System fan is running more frequently or at higher speeds than it used to when system was new. There are several possible causes for these symptoms - most common causes are:
Affected configurations |
Solution |
Download and install the latest version of power manager from the Lenovo support site. Clean the fan and heatsink with canned compressed air. When cleaning the fan, be sure the system is powered off and direct the canned air into the vents at the side and or rear of the system.
If the system is outside of warranty and you are technically confident, removal of the system keyboard can often allow access to the fan and will allow you to clean the fan blades more fully.

Title 10 published on 2014-01-01
The following are only the Rules published in the Federal Register after the published date of Title 10.
For a complete list of all Rules, Proposed Rules, and Notices view the Rulemaking tab.
Title 10 published on 2014-01-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 10 CFR 110 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-15828 RIN 3150-AJ33 NRC-2014-0007 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Final rule. The final rule is effective August 11, 2014, except that the changes to § 110.44(a) and (b)(1) and appendix M to 10 CFR part 110 are effective December 31, 2014. The incorporation by reference of the material in this document is approved as of December 31, 2014. 10 CFR Part 110 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations pertaining to the export and import of nuclear materials and equipment. This rulemaking is necessary to conform the export controls of the United States to the international export control guidelines of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), of which the United States is a member, and to incorporate by reference the current version of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) document, "Nuclear Security Recommendations on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and Nuclear Facilities (INFCIRC/225/Revision 5), January 2011." Also, this final rule makes certain editorial revisions, and corrects typographical errors.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-02570 RIN 3150-AJ27 NRC-2013-0132 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Proposed rule. Submit comments by May 12, 2014. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so. However, the NRC is able to ensure consideration only of comments received on or before this date. 10 CFR Parts 2, 30, 40, 50, 52, 60, 61, 63, 70, 71, 72, 76, 110, and 150 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its regulations concerning deliberate misconduct by licensees and other persons otherwise subject to the NRC's jurisdiction (known as the "Deliberate Misconduct Rule") and its regulations concerning challenges to immediately effective orders issued by the NRC. This proposed rule would incorporate the concept of "deliberate ignorance" as an additional basis on which to take enforcement action against persons who violate any of the NRC's Deliberate Misconduct Rule provisions. The NRC is also proposing to amend its regulations regarding challenges to the immediate effectiveness of NRC enforcement orders to clarify that the NRC staff has the burden of persuasion in showing that adequate evidence supports the grounds for the order and that immediate effectiveness is warranted and to clarify the authority of the NRC's presiding officer to order live testimony in resolving these challenges.

The color on the site was a brillant lavendar! When I received it, it was more like a steel grey with possible lite lavendar print. I ordered the queen size. Even after washing the sheets they were still to big. Along with the bed skirt. Also the comforter is dry clean only and had a very funny odor to it. Which eventually went away.
Bed set is very nice quality and easy to clean. Says dry clean only, but I have washed in washer and it is the same as before. Very nice quality.
I am extremely picky and spent a lot of time before choosing this comforter set and I am glad that I did! It's perfect. It is a little darker than expected and the sheets are a bit too big but overall I am completely satisfied.
After reading other reviews complaining about the color I ALMOST didn't make this purchase. I am SO glad I did. Being in the design/creative realm I understand that product color doesn't perfectly match what is on the monitor. Personally, I am happy that the colors are a bit darker than shown. It gives such a warmth to my room and has helped me create the oasis I was aiming for. The weight of the comforter is just right too - not too heavy, not too light. Overall, perfect!
I have to say that I really like this bedding set! Although the colors don't seem to be quite as vibrant as the photo, they work in my bedroom, adding a unique look and feel. I really like the texture of the sheets (very luxurious) and the shams and pillows give it a great designer look as does the squishy bedspread. Can't beat this deal!
The 12 piece bed set has everything you need. It is comfortable and nice.
color not exactly what i thought. had to return and will look for something that has a closer match to color.
It looks really nice. It has Euroshams, though, (square shape) which I don't have pillows for, but I like it. It's for the guest room, so it won't get alot of wear and tear.
beautiful color, good deal for the price, nice assortment of pillows
I'm in the middle of most of the comments posted. The colour does not match that on screen, but it is still purple and I like it. The outer layer of the comforter is not very soft, but the underside is. The fitted sheet fit my mattress which is 12.5" so I was very happy with that. Not the greatest quality (very wrinkly) but great for the price and the colour is a yellowy cream that goes pretty well with the set. I still say this is a great buy (especially for the price) and I haven't found anything else that I like even remotely close to this. Everything is included!

System automatically classifies images and video based on elements they contain
Currently, computer search and classification of images is based on the name of the file or folder or on features such as size and date. That's fine if the name of the file reflects its content but isn't much good when the file is given an abstract name that only holds meaning to the person providing it. This drawback means companies in the search business, such as Google and Microsoft, are extremely interested in giving computers the ability to automatically interpret the visual contents and video. A technique developed by the University of Granada does just that, allowing pictures to be classified automatically based on whether individuals or specific objects are present in the images.

Population by availability of water on premises, time needed to collect water per trip, and sex of person usually collecting water
Persons involved in firewood collection by sex and age
Time spent on firewood collection by sex and age
Data on health impact of environmental conditions:
Population using solid fuels for cooking by type of fuel, type of stove, indoor/outdoor location of cooking. These data should be further disaggregated by variables that would account for disparities in infrastructure, such as urban/rural areas or geographic areas.
Relative risks of lower respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, lung cancer by sex and age
When possible, additional data necessary to estimate the gender-differentiated impact of natural disasters should be considered, such as:
Number of deaths due to natural disasters by type of disaster, sex and age;
School attendance before and after disaster by sex, age, and level of education;
Labour force participation before and after disaster by sex and age;
Access to resources such as food, shelter, safe water and sanitation, health services, or financial services such as loans and credit by sex.
Proportion of population involved in water collection by sex
Average time spent in population for water collection by sex
Proportion of population involved in firewood collection for household needs (cooking and heating) by sex
Average time spent in population for firewood collection for household needs (cooking and heating) by sex
Share of female deaths in total deaths due to natural hazards
Time use surveys are an important source of data on work burden due to poor infrastructure and poor housing conditions. When access to water and energy is an issue, it is important that the time use surveys collect not only data on time use for water and firewood collection, but also other information: (a) individual characteristics on persons involved in those activities, such as sex, age, employment other than collecting water or firewood, or purposes for which women and men collect firewood; (b) basic demographic and economic characteristics for other household members; (c) information on household assets that can be used to construct wealth indices.
Household surveys such as DHS and MICS may provide information on environmental conditions, although very little on the impact on women's and men's lives. For example, some of the housing conditions data collected by these surveys refer to access to water and sanitation. Data are collected on whether the households have access to water sources and sanitation considered improved, how far the source of water is, how much time is needed to fetch the water, and whether women or men are usually in charge of water collection. With regard to the potential health effects of the solid fuels used for cooking, the demographic and health surveys provide valuable background information on types of fuels used for cooking and heating as well as ventilation factors such as the place of cooking or the type of stove used for cooking.
Multi-purpose household surveys within a regular programme of a national statistical office can be used to assess gender-differentiated impact of a natural disaster, when conducted in a short interval after the disaster. It is important to compare, for example, data on school attendance, employment, or work burden collected in the last survey before the disaster with data on the same issues collected in the post-disaster survey. When possible, the post-disaster surveys should also assess the loss of lives, loss of assets as well as access to economic resources necessary for recovery.
Population and housing censuses usually provide important background information related to households and population with poor access to water; and households and population using solid fuels for cooking. This background information is useful in assessing the work and health burden of women and men, especially when additional information on gender roles or health risks is available from other sources of data.
Epidemiological studies and health administrative sources are valuable in providing sex-disaggregated information on diseases associated with environmental factors such as unsafe water and sanitation and lack of hygiene, or indoor smoke from solid fuels. The health risks calculated based on these sources can be used in combination with background data provided by household surveys or population and housing censuses to estimate the burden of diseases associated with those environmental factors. Health or other administrative sources may also be used to obtained sex-disaggregated data on deaths due to natural disasters.
Administrative records can be useful in assessing mortality due to disasters. It is important that basic individual characteristics such as sex and age are systematically collected for all deaths. Other information related to circumstances of death, such as where and how the death occurred, is also important. Furthermore, administrative records may be used to assess post-disaster access to resources such as food, shelter, safe water and sanitation, health services, or financial services such as loans and credit. It is important that individual characteristics such as sex and age as well as household characteristics such as size, number of children, and sex of the household head, are systematically recorded.

Dakota Office Products
Robert S. Kaplan
The senior management team of Dakota, an office products distributor, is concerned about the company's first loss in history. Explores the role for activity based costing and customer profitability measurement in a distribution company. Dakota's customers are increasingly demanding more specialized services, such as desktop delivery. Also, whereas some customers have switched to electronic ordering, others continue to place their orders manually. Pricing is based on a fixed markup of the cost of the purchased item. The managers feel that the fixed markup may not be compensating them for the higher costs of manual order processing and desktop delivery. The financial manager initiates an effort to estimate the costs of handling the different types of orders so that she can estimate the profitability of individual customers based on their actual order pattern.
Learning objective:
Provides students with an opportunity to build a simple activity based cost model in a non-manufacturing (distribution) setting, assess the implications from having a more accurate cost model, and recommend actions to enhance the company's profitability. May be used as a final exam for a management accounting course.
Subjects Covered:
Activity-based costing; Cost systems; Distribution; Management accounting; Pricing; Profitability
- Industry: Office supplies
- Company Revenue:$40 million revenues

Anna Trebunskaya has competed in three seasons of Dancing With The Stars. In Season 2 she danced with NFL great Jerry Rice finishing second, and in Season 5 she danced with model Albert Reed finishing in eleventh place, and finally in Season 6 she danced with actor Steve Guttenberg finishing in tenth place. Anna was born in Russia and began to dance at the age of six. Her parents ran a dance studio, so it was only natural that she would become a dancer. She won her first title at the age of 7 and continued to win both Amateur and Professional titles ever since. Anna moved to the U.S. when she was 17. She married another DWTS alum, Jonathan Roberts. Some of the titles she has won include: USA Amateur Youth Standard Ballroom Champion in 1998, Blackpool Rising Star LAtinLatin Finalist 2003, USA Rising Star Champion 2004, and International Grand Ball Champion. |

In Jamaica it means large hard penis. Woody. The big bamboo.
Steve bought a "jamaican guitar" that was made out of a large piece of bamboo. "Big bamboo" was painted on it. Steve thought it really was a jamaican musical instrument. It was not. It was the Big Bamboo! Made by the locals and sold to stupid tourists who didn't realize they were really purchasing a big penis! (Hey, mon! You see that stupid tourist spent $20 on the big bamboo!)

The Old West will meet the new frontier of guitar-driven live music; tradition will collide with innovation; and familiarity will make way for ground-breaking entertainment as one of the Eastern Sierra's most popular fund raisers returns to Lone Pine.
"There is something very different and exciting about the music for this year's Lone Pine Concert/Dinner in the Rocks," Lone Pine Film History Museum spokesperson Chris Langley said earlier this week.
Chamber Music Unbound concert features bassoon, flute
Anyone who grew up listening to Prokofiev's tale, "Peter and the Wolf," knows that the characters in the story are represented by musical instruments. The bassoon provides the deep, rich voice of the grandfather.
The bassoon is the featured instrument in Saturday night's Chamber Music Unbound concert, titled "Fresh Air."
We've known quite a few ski bums in our time around here. If you think about it, Dave McCoy himself would probably been called a ski bum, had the term or the lifestyle existed at the time. Maybe Dave was the original ski bum, for all we know.
Those were heady times for us back then, when the ski towns were being built and the ski bum subculture emerged. Look around town and they're everywhere still, each finding just enough work to free them to lay down some serious skiing and snowboarding in the winter.
Chances are, when one thinks of soul men, it's a memory of that old song by Sam and Dave, "I'm a soul man."
But that wouldn't be the current usage. "Soul Men" is the name of the first program of Chamber Music Unbound's winter music series.
Mammoth's resident Felici Piano Trio will perform Bach, the grand master of the Baroque; the great Classical hero, Beethoven; Chopin, the Romantic piano virtuoso; and the eloquent musical narrator Robert Schumann.
The community is invited to a wedding reception and the party won't come to a close until someone is dead!
You haven't had an invitation like this one before, you say? "I'm Getting Murdered in the Morning" is Playhouse 395's first mystery dinner theater event Oct. 7 - 10 at the Bishop Country Club banquet room. Audience members are invited to guess who-dun-it, becoming guests at the most unlikely wedding celebration ever attended.
It'll be some kind of book signing Saturday afternoon, Sept. 25, at the Booky Joint, where John Muir "Jack" Laws not only will sign his swell new guidebook, but also will offer some artistic demonstrations.
Laws will sprinkle how-to demos in illustration, painting and sketching at the event, which starts at one o'clock and ends at 3.
Dave Leonard, owner of the bookstore, said Laws is a very entertaining guest, and for the Booky Joint to have him is a real treat.
He said refreshments will be served during the book signing, but the book is a refreshment in itself.
If people were to canvass the two artists at Bluebird Imaging, they'd discover that Kendra Knight and Aaron Horowitz are wild about canvas.
"The appeal to me would be that it looks more painterly," said Knight, half of the husband-and-wife team. Together, they dazzled shoppers at last week's Labor Day Festival of the Arts with photographs printed on canvas, then stretched on a 3-D display board.

Bob Costas and the Media Miss the Real Problem
Bob Costas, an admitted ignoramus on the issue of the Second Amendment, chose halftime in a nationally broadcast football game to infect the world with his uneducated opinion on gun rights.
Speaking about Jovan Belcher, the NFL player who killed his girlfriend then committed suicide, Costas missed the point completely — as did the equally ignorant sports columnist Jason Whitlock. It wasn't "loose gun laws" that sparked this tragedy. If anything, it had to do with how we treat celebrities.
Costas and Whitlock have the right to their opinions — and the Democrat Media Complex has the right to amplify them. My problem wasn't with either of them having an opinion, opinions are like ignorant sports media — every network has one — my problem was with the immediate authority the Democrat Media Complex granted them both on the issue. People should have opinions, but uneducated ones should not be advanced by a media operating under the guise of informing the public.
Journalists were falling all over themselves seeking comment from them as if they knew something no one else did simply because those journalists think the same way. Much like an unknown, unaccomplished Georgetown law student named Sandra Fluke was granted gravitas by the media as an informed, accomplished, relevant activist simply because she agreed to participate in a Democratic press event on Capitol Hill about how strong, independent women need government to pay for their contraception, Costas became an expert on "gun culture."
But was gun culture the problem here? Or celebrity culture? Most NFL fans probably never had heard of Javon Belcher before this incident. But the yes men, the people who suck up to celebrities to help them spend their money and have their fun, know who he was.
They make it their business to know. They attach themselves to the best high school and college athletes, then wait for the money to roll in. They try to stop the celebrity athlete from doing too much to compromise his earning potential. But beyond that, anything goes. After all, they aren't called restraint men. "Stars" can go years without ever hearing the word "no."
The singer Chris Brown knows what I mean. He recently got into a Twitter fight with a female comedy writer named Jenny Johnson. In the course of this "war," Brown reverted to the misogynist's security blanket — making overt sexual comments that were nasty and violent in nature. None of this is out of the ordinary for Twitter — I get nasty, threatening tweets regularly. Some people are simply incapable of disagreement or educated confrontation.
But most people aren't famous…and most people don't have Chris Brown's past. As much as he's known for his music, Brown is known for beating his then (and apparently now) girlfriend, the singer Rihanna. You'd think it would occur to someone with that well-known past it might not be a good idea to engage in misogynistic behavior on Twitter when you can simply ignore it. Failing that, you'd think at least once the people around him would advise him to pump the breaks on the misogyny in view of his past. But nooooo.
There are thousands of examples of celebrities acting in such a way that would have invited public scorn or shunning just a few decades ago. Think back on why we know who people like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are in the first place. It's not for accomplishment. The life story of Lindsay Lohan is one that should shame any parent, not have them trying to out-drink their kid while playing rock, paper, scissors to see who gets the last shot of Jägermeister before last call.
As celebrity has "Jersey Shore-d" from something earned to something given, the world has more yes men. The younger any level of celebrity is achieved, as in the case of Jovan Belcher, the less likely it is that "star" has ever been told "no" on anything. Just like children raised in a "participation trophy" culture who are unprepared for life in the competitive "real world" of business, people such as Belcher have no idea how to deal with real problems when they arise because they've been insulated from so many of them by the people around them.
Obviously not every person has it in them to beat or murder their girlfriend, but it wasn't known to be in Brown or Belcher until they did it. And until they did it they probably walked up to and crossed many lines of societal norms many times we never heard of.
Bob Costas, Jason Whitlock or anyone else can blame whatever they like, but until we as a society stop elevating existing over accomplishment and celebrating people for spectacles that once were shunned, the actions of public figures will continue to shock…until they no longer do. Which is the real danger.
