Gurler House
Bea Gurler was nine years old when her father George moved his family into the house in 1893. Her cousins, the children of her father's brother Henry, had been living since 1888 in the Ellwood Mansion. Everyone said it was magnificent. Bea's parents George and Zillah, evidently shared a taste in homes that favored the elegance of simplicity. It was the unimposing yet dignified structure on Pine Street–where the back door was always open. George and Henry Gurler were both prominent businessmen, and joint owners of a number of dairies. They quickly became world-famous and respected by many dairy farmers. Bea eventually made it a goal of hers to renovate The Gurler House to be the home that she once new and loved. The Gurler House hosts an annual Folk Music Festival every summer, where people are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the music.

they should prioritize the client some more.. the server do me no good
Phoronix: Unreal Tournament 3 Linux Server Is Out!
It's over a month late, but today Ryan Gordon has released the Unreal Tournament 3 Linux server. This server doesn't require the retail DVD, but is 1.6GB in size.
they should prioritize the client some more.. the server do me no good
Will there be client at all?
I'm so happy for all the windows users that have had the privilege to play this game since early November, that they can finally play on stable Linux servers!
^ This is sarcasm.
The server got precedence over the client. Epic has failed us.
Oh... GEEZ.
People. C'mon now and get on the same page here. The only reason that the client didn't go out yet is that Ryan's having to do more work on fixing the licensing imbroglio that he's tapdancing around to get the game (And the UT3 ENGINE) out the door for us.
They didn't fail us- they had it lined up for release and then hit an 11th hour snag.
Seriously, people, will you STOP going on like this when there's some little glitch? Until it becomes dead clear, either by extreme delays (more than a couple of weeks or months...we're talking year plus delays...) or by an OFFICIAL statement from the studio or publisher that they're not going to do a Linux version, if they made an OFFICIAL statement that they're going to do so (And Epic has done this for UT3... So has Id for Rage and IdTech 5...) then you need to take them at their word until they prove not worth that.
the level of information they are giving is simply insuffecient.
and no matter the reason, they have failed us.
they could have simply stated what the problem was, and then perhaps focusing abit more on fixing it, than producing a server for linux.
its really quite simple, to resolve licensing issues you do the following
1: identify exactly what stuff theres problems with
2: ask the people holding the rights, if they will license under <insert terms epic wants> or not, and that they have 1 week to say yes or no.
3(if yes): continue on your way, with 1-2 weeks delay
4(if no): either stop the project right there, and issue the statement, or rewrite it, and STILL issue statement about what is needed to be done, and an expected timeframe.
this kindof useless level of information can only be labelled by one label: "FAIL"
Sorry, if it's something covered under Non-Disclosure, no they CAN'T tell us. And, I suspect that's what's going on- that's par for the course in the game industry.
It works in the way you describe in the FREE and OPEN SOURCE communities- it does no such thing in their world. You can't even begin to ask them to operate outside of what they're able to do.
Give it a rest. Really.
Darn... At least the server means that the engine (at least partially) has already been ported to Linux, which means that the remaining coding should be in its way to delivery (hopefully).
I fully understand what you are trying to say, Svartalf, the same was the situation (and I think still is) for ATi/AMD's Beta program. You get to download the driver, test it, give feedback on it, but not to comment to the Linux community at large. That's how NDA's work, you agreed to be bound by those terms. Epic (just like Svartalf said) has agreed to said terms of one or rather several NDAs, which cause them to simply be unable to even tell their audience what's going on. I believe that was in part the reason why they didn't use much third party IP in their past generation games (for instance, why they did develop an in-house physics engine and not go with Havok), I guess this time around things got messier if they wanted to keep all-in-house. But I can only do that, guess. Until they can actually comment on the status, that's what we are able to do. We all know the proprietary software world sucks for things like these, but hey! Epic is being kind enough to grant us a Linux version, even if delayed, having into account the "peculiarities" of our community.
Should they have delayed the Windows version so one massive "unified" version was out? Probably was the "right thing to do", but maybe it wasn't their call either (but rather the publisher's, and since Linux releases usually fall outside the scope of the publishers... That means a big "sorry, Linux")
Yes Yes Yes ;-)
I have my UT3 here waiting for beautiful linux client ;-) It would be nice if we could see any alpha/beta before new year, but thats too soon i think :/
Just got this from Ryan:
Subject: Middleware...
...so did you figure out what got removed from ut3 yet?
Anyone bother investigating the server file yet? I haven't had the time yet.

Pettibone faces White Sox, hopes to keep Phils rolling
Philly righty has won last two decisions, duels with Chicago's Danks
As they teeter between buyers and sellers, the third-place Phillies are possibly in the beginning of a roll that could help them get in position to make a run at the Braves and Nationals.
"No one is running away with it," general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said of the National League East and NL Wild Card races. "No one is invincible."
The White Sox, despite taking two out of three from Detroit, are last in the American League Central and have been fielding calls for weeks.
While the Phillies have won six of their last eight contests, the White Sox come to Philadelphia on Friday to open a three-game series struggling, as they have all season. The White Sox have lost five of their last seven and are 6-20 in their last 26 road games.
The last time the White Sox struggled like this was in 2007 -- the year of Chicago's last visit to Philadelphia and the only year in the Wild Card era the White Sox have finished worse than third place. The White Sox were swept by the Phillies that season, but look to get off to a better start this time around behind left-hander John Danks.
Danks has tossed three consecutive quality starts, working at least seven innings in each, but has failed to earn a victory during the stretch.
Said Danks after his last start, a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay: "I'm very confident with my stuff, and obviously the couple [starts] going into today were good. I was riding a pretty good high."
Danks faces a Phillies squad that has climbed to 1 1/2 games behind second-place Washington. The Phillies look to keep that streak rolling on Friday behind rookie right-hander Jonathan Pettibone, who has allowed three or fewer runs in four consecutive outings, winning his last two starts.
White Sox: Beckham keeps hitting
• Second baseman Gordon Beckham went 2-for-5 on Thursday and is hitting .400 with four doubles, two homers and eight RBIs in his last 17 games, nine of which have been multihit efforts. Beckham is hitting .375 since returning from the disabled list on June 3.
• With 430 home runs, Adam Dunn is one homer shy of tying Cal Ripken Jr. for 43rd place on the all-time list.
• The White Sox are hitting .292 with runners in scoring position since June 1.
Phillies: Ruf slugging
• First baseman Darin Ruf has a .714 slugging percentage through his first 47 games, with 17 of his hits going for extra bases. Ruf's mark is the ninth highest for any player in their first 47 career at-bats since 2000.
He's also 6-for-16 (.375) since being called up to replace the injured Ryan Howard on Saturday.
• Center fielder Ben Revere has hit safely in 13 of his last 14 games, hitting .441 with nine multihit efforts.
Worth noting
• The Phillies lead the all-time series against the White Sox, 5-4.
• The White Sox are 5-9 in Interleague Play this season, including 1-6 on the road.
• White Sox starters have turned in nine quality starts in their last 12 outings.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Abbaye des Rocs (9% alcohol vol.) is a pure malt beer, with no added sugar. The entire range of tastes is directly linked to the double fermentation, the precise quantities of malts (7 types) as well as the mixtures of three kinds of hops (Belgian, German and Czech). Its colour is a striking deep and majestic red. Its taste is rich and full of subtlety. It is tasted like a red wine with which it shares the ruby colour without having the tannin. It develops a strong sweet smell. It confirms the initial impression in the first mouthful, with a sharp body that is balanced with a certain fruitiness. It frees itself on the palate and develops an impressive depth of taste. Some traces of burnt wood are detectable, but never scorched even if it contains this kind of malt. The foretaste is very prolonged because of its rich and unctuous development throughout the mouth. The bitter and sugar tendencies (even though there is no sugar in its composition) compete and come back together to the taster's great satisfaction. It is a deep, mystic and extremely mature beer to be classed among the great products of our soil.

I don't want Kobe getting his 6th ring and having everyone compare him to Jordan. I'll always have that excuse that if Jordan stayed in the NBA instead of going to the Major Leagues that he'd have more ring, but that's not what I want to hang my hate on.
Jeez. Just realized that I hate the lakers so much because I want to be so much like them....

Am I the only one who thinks the Kings look promising? Look at this lineup from a potential-wise view: Isiah Thomas (Jimmer Fredette), Marcus Thornton, Tyreke Evans, Thomas Robinson and Demarcus Cousins. All of them are very young and I wouldn't be surprised if they will be able to compeat for the final playoff spot this year, especially because of Cousins' developement.. Cousins, who will make the all-star game with 90% certainty this year and with a ceiling near Howard's. They have some personal problems, but they have A LOT potential and if they can manage to develop it in the right way, they will make the playoffs for 2014.
What do you think? Besides Golden State Warriors, the team I will follow next year on LP (I live in Denmark, northern Europe) will be the Kings. |
I don't see a superstar on the KINGS roster. Each year I keep hearing about Tyreke, Demarcus & now Thomas-Robinson being the next so and so and saving the franchise. But each year.. they still become the same old kings. I guess a lot depends on this Thomas Robinson guy & him burdeoning the load of carrying the team (cause Tyreke & Cousins have failed miserably... albiet they are still young) I don't really like the Kings because of the Maloof brothers. I kind of hope they get a new arena deal in Sacramento because if they move to Anaheim then they instantly become a desirable free agent desination & Maloofs only need to do a Quarter of a better job then Donald Sterling for stars like Dwight Howard/Chris Paul to say "I wanna go to the Kings" because NBA Players want to be in a city which helps their brand. |
You could be right, the Kings do have alot of potential on their roster. If it all fits well, they could even make the playoffs, but I doubt it this season. migya make the ring fall on ya |
I also highly doubt that they will make the playoffs this year, cause the West is simply to loaded right now. I see them getting 8th at best and 12th at worst. I think they will finish behind Warriors, Mavericks and TWolves at 10th, but the opportunity is there if the other teams are getting serious injuries: Curry & Bogut, Dirk and Love. I think they would make the playoffs if they had played in the East, though. |
Look what I found at my local used book/cd/crap store:
Chris Webber rookie and Joe Smith rookie figures..LOL. I only got them 'cause they were $3 each The Hulk is a Warriors fan.
Awesome, mate. It's definitely worth to spend 3 bucks on that.
And damn, I really miss those jerseys. |
Anthony Davis just had a big game for NO against the Bobcats and his former college teammate MKG. Davis may already be an offense force which I thought he wouldn't be for a few years. Could really be a superstar.
Also, Drummond just had a great game for the Pistons, his only one so far, but his stats for the season so far are - 3.8pts, 4.0rebs, 1.2blks and 61.5FG%, in 14mins18secs a game. Very good production from him and though I thought he'd be a bust, and he still might be, he's holding his own in the time he's gotten. migya make the ring fall on ya |
Celtics vs Nets should be interesting next time they meet. I love KG but that was hardly even a push by Humphries. Rondo overreacted.
Kevin Love has been a monster since returning from injury. He keeps this up and the TWolves at least make the playoffs, he is definately a top 5 MVP candidate.
migya make the ring fall on ya |
Andre Drummond continues to be a monster in limited minutes for Detroit. The guy isn't looking like a bust so far, but whether he can translate what he does in starter minutes is the key. I'm glad we got Barnes, but if Detroit were stupid enough to trade us Drummond for AB or RJ and Rush or DGreen, I'd do it.

Looks like Memphis is falling and likely will be out of the top 4. Really think that getting rid of Gay after getting rid of salary laready was a bad move for them. Good for us though ofcourse.
migya make the ring fall on ya |
I think the fact the players are upset about it will hurt them more. Can't have a bad attitude or not believe in the system to win with one.
Zach Randolph is very upset. |
As he should be. He now has to carry much more of the load and it looks quite impossible. They had a three man punch and now have to try to get others to cover the loss of Gay, which will not be easy and likely they won't do it.
Good for us though. migya make the ring fall on ya |

Decorating Your Office for Halloween
It is almost that time of the year, Halloween, when it is socially acceptable play dress up and eat copious amounts of sweets without anyone being able to say anything about it. Personally, one of my favorite days of the year. You probably already have your costume laid out, your Halloween plans made, your Halloween decorations in place at your home, but what about decorating your office? If you want to take Halloween to a new level this year and get in the festive spirit, consider taking some time to decorate your office for Halloween without pushing the envelope too far.
Spider Webs
These are quite possibly the oldest Halloween prop around but they can instantly turn your office into a spooky hit, and are really easy to put up and take down. Around Halloween season you can find spider webs at virtually any store at a low cost. Hang them along the walls, across desks, over the door, or even on your office chair. Add fake plastic spiders or spider rings you can wear in the webs to spice it up a little more!
If Halloween falls on a work day, have some fun and wear your costume to the office, if permitted to do so. As long as it is work appropriate, have your employees and yourself dress up to get in the Halloween spirit and make work pass by a little faster. Costume contests for the best costume at work are also a great idea to encourage others to dress up.
If you have some extra time on your hands, carve a pumpkin for work! Extra points for pumpkins that include a company name or logo on it. If you don't want to spend a lot of money or time carving a pumpkin for work, there are also plenty of fake pumpkins that are already carved and won't break your budget. Place them on desks or counters and they will give everyone something to look at to brighten up their day.
Pot of Candy
If you use the excuse that you are too old to trick or treat or want to get your candy fix early, consider investing in a pot of candy. Buy a plastic black bowl that you can find at any local store and fill it up with your favorite candies such as Twix, Snickers, and Butterfingers. Then set it out on your desk or anywhere easily accessible to allow others working in the office to help themselves.
Black and Orange Streamers
Streamers are one of the easiest and cheapest Halloween decorations to put up. Just use some masking tape and intertwine the black and orange streamers and you are good to go. Hang them on your walls, across your desk, or anywhere in your office that is looking a little bare!
Everyone loves balloons, and during this time of the year many party supply stores offer packs of black and orange balloons. Get black and orange string to tie the balloons and set them free in places where they will be easy to take down later. Make sure not to set them free in places that you can not reach or you will have to wait for them to deflate on their own. Try not to go overboard on the balloons and stick to 10 or less.
Halloween Inflatables
Pick up some pumpkin, witch, and ghost inflatables and set them around the office. You can even have them sitting in your office chair while you are out to lunch or sitting on your desk to give you some entertainment throughout the day. You can even put them on your company lawn to show you are really in the spirit of Halloween.
Black Lights
If you are really in the Halloween mood and looking to go all out consider investing in some black lights. Put them in hallways or places where you don't need good light or reading light. They will really give your office a spooky vibe and a haunted house feel if you are looking to go above and beyond in your decorating plan.
Hang up a Halloween Banner in the office some place where everyone can see it. Try using a wall or outside a door to really showcase your spirit. Many party stores have these with many different designs, so pick one that best suits your office. If you work with kids, try to pick one that is not too scary and more kid friendly.
Decorate the door
Purchase a large vinyl or plastic Halloween table cloth and cover your door with it. You can also buy a large roll of black felt from a fabric store and cover the door that way. Get extra creative and cut out pumpkins or letters that spell out Happy Halloween and adhere them to the felt. You can also hang happy Halloween signs or plastic bats from the door knob.
Have some fun in your workplace this year while preparing for the spookiest holiday of the year.

ADVANCED ENERGY BLOG -- DAVE KARPINSKI Northeast Ohio's energy efficiency roadmap: now and the futureBy DAVE KARPINSKI 4:30 am, November 6, 2012
For some time now, there has been a lot of excitement about the energy efficiency sector in Ohio and its potential to drive economic growth. But until a detailed asset inventory was recently completed, the extent and impact of the sector was not clear. The lack of detailed insight into the sector made it difficult to identify and prioritize opportunities for growth. Now we are armed with a clear picture of what we have in Ohio and Northeast Ohio upon which we can build.

O's Gonzalez returns to site of his first start
Righty topped Halos last July; Anaheim sends Vargas to the hill
While Miguel Gonzalez may not play for the Angels, pitching in Anaheim is always special.
That's because Anaheim is where the Orioles' right-hander made his first Major League start.
Allowing just one run on three hits in seven innings last July for the win, Gonzalez still can't believe how quickly time has passed since that start.
"That's where everything started," said Gonzalez. "The Orioles gave me the opportunity to start that day and I was really pumped and happy. I had a really good time enjoying myself pitching against teammates I played with years back [as an Angels farmhand]."
He'll take the hill at Angel Stadium for the second time in his career on Friday, excited to have those same feelings rushing through him once again.
The right-hander took a no-decision in his last start against the A's, allowing four runs on seven hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Meanwhile, Jason Vargas will be on the hill for the scuffling Angels after his best start of the season on Sunday against the Mariners.
Giving up just two runs on six hits in eight innings against his former club, Vargas still took the loss in a 2-1 Mariners win.
Vargas has allowed just five runs in 15 innings over his last two starts, but doesn't have a win to show for it.
He hasn't been helped by an Angels team that has gone 3-7 over their last 10 games and went 9-17 in the month of April.
"The schedule keeps coming, you're out there trying to win every game," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "At times we've set some games up the way we want to. At times we've come back and won some ballgames, and at times we've let some leads slip away. I think the set of circumstances in front of us is very evident, but nobody here doesn't believe that we are going to establish that depth."
Orioles: Garcia to be promoted for Saturday's start
Baltimore will promote right-hander Freddy Garcia to make Saturday's start against the Angels.
"His date fits well timing-wise," manager Buck Showalter said. "That's what you look at first. The good thing is that we have a lot of guys to pick from down there that we like, so you really don't have to separate them too much."
Garcia, who pitched on Sunday, was named the International League Pitcher of the Week after going 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA in his last two starts at Triple-A Norfolk.
Angels: Jepsen throws for first time since injury
Prior to Thursday's game, Angels reliever Kevin Jepsen played catch with pitching coach Mike Butcher, marking the first time he has thrown a baseball since being placed on the disabled list with a right shoulder strain on April 13.
Jepsen, who threw off flat ground, played catch for about seven minutes from 75 feet.
"First day or two just activating the arm, getting it moving," Jepsen said. "Then we are going to be as aggressive as we can without being stupid."
Worth noting
• The Angels signed right-hander Josh Judy to a Minor League contract on Thursday. The 27-year-old had been pitching in independent baseball and has not appeared in the Majors since a 2011 stint with the Indians.
• Orioles first baseman Chris Davis was named the American League Player of the Month for April on Thursday. Davis finished the month tied for the league lead with nine home runs and 28 RBIs, while finishing first in slugging percentage (.728) and total bases (67).

Wegener's granulomatosis facts
What is Wegener's granulomatosis?Wegener's granulomatosis is an uncommon type of inflammation of small arteries and veins (vasculitis). It classically involves inflammation of the arteries that supply blood to the tissues of the lungs, the nasal passages(sinuses), and the kidneys. "Incomplete" forms exist that only involve one of these areas. When both lungs and kidneys are affected, the condition is sometimes referred to as generalized Wegener's granulomatosis. When only the lungs are involved, the condition is sometimes referred to as limited Wegener's granulomatosis. Wegener's granulomatosis usually affects young or middle-aged adults. Although it is uncommon in children, it can affect people at any age. The cause of Wegener's granulomatosis is not known.

text: Contrary to popular misconception, you don�t need to devour a 16-ounce T-Bone steak to fulfill your daily protein quota. In fact, you don�t need any meat at all. Whether you�re a full-blown vegetarian or a longtime carnivore looking to cut back on your meat consumption, these 12 meatless foods are good sources of healthy, high-quality protein. Not to mention, they�re also better for the environment. Quinoa (8 g per cup): Although typically confused with a grain, quinoa is technically a seed�which is why it's naturally gluten-free and high in fiber. What�s more, this all-star superfood is a complete protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids the body needs for growth and repair. With a subtle nutty flavor and chewy texture, quinoa makes a great substitution for rice or cous cous. Try these quinoa-stuffed peppers for a delectable veggie-friendly meal: Chia (4 grams per 2 tablespoons): Small but mighty, chia seeds are a powerhouse of protein, omega-3s, fiber and minerals. By weight, they are about 14% protein, which is very high by plant food standards. High in water content, chia seeds are also widely touted for suppressing appetite and losing weight. Soak chia seeds in oatmeal overnight for a rich, creamy texture. Try this overnight oatmeal with chia and fruit�for a great grab-and-go breakfast option: Spinach (5 grams per one cup): Popeye was on to something. A cup of cooked spinach contains almost 5 grams of muscle-building protein, not to mention loads of vitamin A, calcium and iron. Pretty impressive for a leafy green, huh? For a delicious take on spinach, try this lemony spinach with toasted pistachios: Seitan (36 grams per half cup): A meat substitute made from wheat gluten that�s been seasoned with salt and savory flavors, seitan is loaded with protein�almost 36 grams per half cup. Texture-wise, seitan is chewy and dense, similar to a jerky; in terms of taste, it�s incredibly versatile and adopts the flavors of the seasonings that are used. Below is a spicy, hearty seitan dish in Mexican gravy that your whole family will love: Hummus and Pita (7 grams per 1 whole-wheat pita and 2 tablespoons of hummus): It might be your go-to appetizer at Middle Eastern restaurants, but pita and hummus make a knockout nutritional duo. When paired together, hummus and whole-wheat pita supply all nine essential amino acids. Take that as an excuse to tuck into a serving of this Middle Eastern staple! Make hummus at home�it's incredibly delicious and surprisingly maintenance to make. Here's a delicious Tunisian-spiced hummus with golden raisins: Nuts (5 to 7 grams per � cup serving): Peanuts, almonds, cashews and other nuts are all fantastic sources of meat-free protein. Because they�re rich in healthy fats and omega-3s, nuts are great for suppressing hunger. Tofu (10 grams per � cup serving): Made from curdled soybean milk�which probably isn�t the most appetizing description of all time�tofu is an extremely healthy, versatile protein choice for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. It�s a spongy food that holds up well to stir-fries, saut�s and more. Try this hearty tofu ratatouille for dinner tonight: Eggs (6 g per egg): Although they catch a lot of flack for their high cholesterol content, eggs are considered a superfood in many nutritional circles. Loaded with nutrients and containing all nine essential amino acids, eggs consistently outrank beef, whey and soy in terms of the quality of protein they provide. Best of all, eggs are very cost-effective and versatile. If you're in the market for a fast and easy breakfast, these 2-minute scrambled eggs will be a godsend on busy mornings: Greek yogurt (15 to 20 g per serving): By now, you�ve probably noticed the nutritional hype surrounding Greek yogurt. With more than double the protein of regular yogurt strains, Greek yogurt is a tasty way to amp up your protein content. It�s also rich in bone-building calcium. For a nutrition-packed snack, steer clear of sugary Greek yogurt varieties and stir in some fresh berries. [caption id="attachment_119816" align="alignnone" width="629"] flickr.com[/caption] Edamame (17 grams per cup): If processed soy products weird you out, give edamame a try. A mainstay at sushi restaurants, edamame is a complete protein that�s high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Throw some on a salad, or snack on them out of the shell. Or, create a delicious salad with edamame as the centerpiece, as in this edamame and tomato salad: Chickpeas (6 grams per half cup serving): Rich in fiber and protein, chickpeas�also called garbanzo beans�are another fantastic meat-free protein source. They're great in curries and as salad toppers. Or, simply eat them on their own, as in these cinnamon-honey roasted chickpeas: Lentils: Lentils pack a whooping 18 grams of high-quality protein per one-cup serving, along with more than half your dietary fibers needs, folate, vitamin B1 and plenty of minerals. This veggie-packed lentil salad is bursting with flavor and nutrition: This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

A flock of white pelicans spiral upward, waves of geese talk to each other as they pass overhead, a red-tail hawk dives after prey – all possible scenes visitors to the Kansas Wetlands Education Center may encounter on a typical day. Located on the southeast corner of the Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area in Barton County, the KWEC opened in late April 2009, with the mission of providing a better understanding of wetland communities and their importance through interpretive exhibits, educational programs and research.
Operated by Fort Hays State University as an annex of Sternberg Museum on KDWP land, the Kansas Wetlands Education Center includes a 2,000 sq. ft. exhibit gallery, classroom, auditorium and gift store. A handicapped-accessible ½-mile nature trail encompasses three ecosystems –grassland, marsh and wooded area. A vast expanse of windows allow visitors to comfortably view wildlife at the wetland area behind KWEC.
From a spiny soft-shell turtle to grasshopper mice, visitors can view some of the lesser known inhabitants of Cheyenne Bottoms in the KWEC classroom. Children can discover the feel of animal furs, snake skins and feathers, match animals to their tracks and make their own track stencil or rubbing.
Combine a visit to the Center with a drive through the 19,857-acre Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area and The Nature Conservancy's 7,600-acre reserve. The largest interior wetland in the United States, Cheyenne Bottoms is one of only 22 U.S. Wetlands of International Importance, where more than 330 bird species have been observed. Depending on the season, you may sight a family of one of the rarest birds in North America – whooping cranes – or bald eagles standing on the frozen waters of the Bottoms.

Dallas is one of the very few tv series that my husband and I enjoy watching together and to find the dallas beginning is great.
This really brings back memories! I was happy to see the Dallas series on Overstock. Overstock always has exactly what I'm looking for! The DVDs came very promptly and are good quality. This is something I haven't seen in the stores where I live. I am going to order more for Christmas presents! Perfect.
I never watched Dallas during it`s run on tv. A friend recommended it on DVD so I thought I`d give it a try. Big mistake!!! Now I`m hooked. Have already ordered season 3 and am looking forward to it. Good writing and acting all around. The commentaries, though sparse, gave some neat insights into the show. It was really great to see how some of the people have aged(last disc,side B). I definitely recommend this DVD.
It was fun to re-watch Dallas - It was just as much fun to watch it the 2nd time around as it was back in the day!

A sturdy bike is a good way to get around the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. The roads are still pretty rough, the distances between places tend to be too long to walk and too short to drive, and on a bike you can easily stop and chat with the residents who have returned. I moved to New Orleans about a year after Hurricane Katrina, and I've ridden my bike out here every month or two to see how the rebuilding has been faring. Also, I've heard that Brad Pitt likes to bike around when he's in town. Folks tell me he's a pretty regular guy. "Brad was here yesterday," a woman sitting on the front steps of her new and very modern house told me one day last fall. "He was talking to everyone, just checking things out."
He has a lot to check out, as it happens. Next to the levee along the Mississippi River sits the experimental "project house" of Global Green, a nonprofit Pitt has been working with that's trying to replace homes lost in the flood with energy-efficient ones. From there, it takes about 10 minutes to bike to the northern edge of the Ninth Ward, where the Industrial Canal flood wall collapsed in August 2005. Along the way you pass shotgun houses in various stages of repair and disrepair; Fats Domino's home, from which he was rescued; and a large sculpture of empty chairs commemorating the hundreds who died in the storm. As you get closer to the failed flood wall, the land becomes more open and rural-looking, and the blackbirds grow louder. Only concrete steps standing in front of concrete slabs suggest the community that existed before the rushing waters erased it.
And then, suddenly, amid heroically overgrown lawns, you see a cluster of modern, colorful, and modestly sized homes, looking like a farm where they grow houses for Dwell magazine. These are the fruits to date of Pitt's other project, Make It Right New Orleans. New Orleanians refer to these homes collectively as "the Brad Pitt Houses," which gives them the pleasing ring of an ambitious public-housing project from the post–World War II years. But Pitt's ambitions are not merely utilitarian. He hopes to offer displaced residents affordable, cutting-edge, radically green homes designed by name-brand architects like Thom Mayne and Frank Gehry. And he seems to be succeeding.
Four years after Katrina, the rebuilding of New Orleans is not proceeding the way anyone envisioned, nor with the expected cast of characters. (If I may emphasize: Brad Pitt is the city's most innovative and ambitious housing developer.) But it's hard to say what people were expecting, given the magnitude of the disaster and the hopes raised in the weeks immediately following. Seventeen days after the storm, President George W. Bush stood in Jackson Square and promised: "We will stay as long as it takes to help citizens rebuild their communities and their lives."
The terms we, as long as it takes, and help turned out to be fairly elastic. The Federal Emergency Management Agency shuttered its long-term recovery office about six months later, after a squabble with the city over who would pay for the planning process. Since then, depending on whom you talk to, government at all levels has been passive and slow-moving at best, or belligerent and actively harmful at worst. Mayor Ray Nagin occasionally surfaces to advertise a big new scheme (a jazz park, a theater district), about which no one ever hears again. A new 20-year master plan and comprehensive zoning ordinance was being ironed out early this summer, but it remains subject to city-council approval. A post-Katrina master plan has been under discussion since before the floodwaters were pumped out.
In the absence of strong central leadership, the rebuilding has atomized into a series of independent neighborhood projects. And this has turned New Orleans—moist, hot, with a fecund substrate that seems to allow almost anything to propagate—into something of a petri dish for ideas about housing and urban life. An assortment of foundations, church groups, academics, corporate titans, Hollywood celebrities, young people with big ideas, and architects on a mission have been working independently to rebuild the city's neighborhoods, all wholly unconcerned about the missing master plan. It's at once exhilarating and frightening to behold.
"If you look at the way ants behave when they're gathering food, it looks like the stupidest, most irrational thing you've ever seen—they're zigzagging all over the place, they're bumping into other ants. You think, 'What a mess! This is never going to amount to anything,'" says Michael Mehaffy, the head of the Sustasis Foundation, which studies urban life and sustainability and has worked with neighborhood organizations here. "So it's easy to look at New Orleans at the grassroots level and wonder, What's going on here?' But if you step back and look at the big picture, in fact it's the most efficient pattern possible, because all those random activities actually create a very efficient sort of discovery process."
This process is unfolding in a city where the effects of environmental disregard—from disappearing wetlands to rising temperatures to encroaching seas—seem more palpable by the day, and where sustainability seems less like an annoying buzzword and more like a moral imperative. Add to this the sudden collapse of the credit and real-estate markets last year, and the fleeting yet unnerving flirtation with $5-a-gallon gasoline the year before, and one could be forgiven for seeing a cosmic convergence taking shape.
The architectural historian James Marston Fitch wrote more than a half century ago that great leaps forward in architecture occur when three factors—theory, material, and technique—come into alignment under the pressure of social change. Such "golden moments of equilibrium," as he called them, are "brief in time, special in character, delicate in balance." He noted that such moments produced the Crystal Palace, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Eiffel Tower.
We may be in one of those moments now, with notions of modern design, advances in green materials, and the technical imperatives of sustainability all converging toward a great leap in urban architecture. The architecture writer Andrew Blum has asked whether the Brad Pitt Houses could "become for the single-family green house what Seaside was for New Urbanism or Pacific Palisades was for California Modernism"—that is, a project that recasts the possible for the next generation of architects and developers. As seems fitting for such a moment, most of the construction projects under way in New Orleans are informed by seemingly conflicting strands of utopianism. But their designers are coming to some common, and edifying, conclusions.
This summer, I visited five of the new houses. I sat on their porches—New Orleans's original green technology, offering shade in summer and shelter during deluges, connecting the home with the street—and I considered a city in flux.
The front porch of the Global Green project house has an agreeable geometric purity—it's supported by two chopstick-thin columns angled outward on one side, and a shading screen of horizontal wood slats on the other. The porch roof slices at a slight downward angle into a narrow, two-story, pea-green shoebox, which looks as if its solar-paneled lid is being lifted by an unseen hand. Save for two nearly identical houses under construction next door, it resembles nothing else in the neighborhood, which consists of older shotguns and ranch houses.
Mike Lopez was sitting on the porch when I stopped by. He's the construction manager for Global Green, and he's been living in the house since it was completed more than a year ago. Today, it's mostly used as an eco-housing laboratory and visitor center, but eventually a displaced Lower Ninth Ward resident will move in. Until then, Lopez is figuring out what works and what doesn't. (Humidity-triggered bathroom fans, good; a grass roof in subtropical sun, not so good.) This knowledge has already come in handy for the houses next door, and will also inform some of the design when the group breaks ground on an 18-unit green apartment building later this year.
Shortly after Katrina, Matt Petersen, Global Green's president and CEO, met Pitt at a Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York City. They got to talking about New Orleans. Pitt, as readers of celebrity profiles know, is nutty for architecture. He has tinkered with models in Frank Gehry's studio, bought and restored Craftsman-style bungalows in Southern California, co-authored a book on a historic home, and been asked to help design an eco-hotel in Dubai. Regarding architecture, Pitt once told Oprah, "I'm really gay about the whole thing." When he filmed Interview With the Vampire in New Orleans years ago, he developed an abiding fondness for the place. Peterson and Pitt came up with an idea to stage an architectural competition for a model green house. Pitt put up some money and agreed to serve as the jury chairman, and Global Green acquired a 1.2-acre tract in the Holy Cross neighborhood of the Lower Ninth Ward. The competition attracted 125 entries from around the world. A young architectural team from New York called Workshop/apd won, and Global Green set about building its design.
The resulting house is a fine example of what you might call the Better Living Through Modern Green Design strain of utopianism, whose adherents argue that contemporary design and technology will conspire to free us from our grim, polluted past and usher in an era of efficiency and cleanliness. And I have to say, it's an appealing future. Several days a week, the Global Green house opens for tours, and it's hard not to marvel at all the applied ingenuity, from the dual-flush toilets—number one gets a spritz, number two more hydraulic vigor—to the "green screen" of Carolina jasmine being trained to shade the south wall, to the thousand-gallon cistern intended to supply captured rainwater for toilet-flushing and plant care . The house is designed to be "net zero" energy-wise—that is, it produces as much electricity as it consumes each year. The utility closets are filled with the synapses that control the house's hi-tech appendages, and downstairs near the door is a touch-screen panel—the "Lucid Building Dashboard"—that monitors its brain waves like an EKG. It seemed to me every bit as marvelous as Disney's old House of the Future, but with reclaimed wood rather than white plastic.

SUBJECT: Lopes Leads the Bats While Hatt's Arm Helps Wildcats Earn Baseball Split with Dominican in CACC Opener
The Wilmington University baseball team opened the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference with a doubleheader split at Dominican, dropping the first game 6-5 in 11 innings but coming back with a vengeance in game two winning 13-0 on Friday afternoon at Provident Bank Park.
Wilmington (12-7, 1-1 CACC), ranked the 25th team in the latest National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association National Top 25 Poll, had its three game win streak snapped with the game one loss, but came back to win game two to win for the seventh time in the last nine contests.
Dominican has gotten off to a slow start in 2013, starting 0-4 before splitting its last four games to come to a 2-6 record. More importantly, the Chargers, picked to finish second in the CACC Preseason Poll, earned their first CACC victory on Friday as well.
The Wildcats received eight hits from four different players in game one, coming back from a 4-0 hole to almost steal one away from the home team. Josh Hampton, Matt Lopes, Jonathan Rodriguez and Brandon Payne all collected two hits in game one, led by doubles from Hampton, Rodriguez and Payne.
After having to go to the bullpen in the fourth inning, the Wildcats fought back from a 4-0 deficit with a four run sixth inning. Rodriguez got the rally going with a one out double to center field before coming around to score two batters later on a single from Payne. Sam Goines added the second run on a wild pitch before Payne came around to score on a Jordan Johnson fielder choice and a throwing error by the Charger first baseman. Frank Samluk tied the ballgame at 4-4 by working a full count walk with the bases loaded walk.
Dominican fought back to take a 5-4 lead with a run in the bottom of the seventh, but the Wildcats came right back to retie the game with a run of their own in the eighth. With two outs and a runner on second, Hampton connected for his double to left field, easily scoring Brendan Fallers to knot the game.
The score remained the same until the 11th inning when the Chargers put their leadoff runner on base but couldn't do anything until two outs in the inning. Nick Marics, working his third inning out of the pen, had the Charger base runner stranded at second with two outs, but a 0-1 base hit to right field allowed the game winning run to cross.
The Wildcats needed the first three innings of game two to shake the cobwebs out, but then exploded for all 13 runs in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh innings to earn the split.
Nine different batters registered a hit in game two, as the Wildcats tallied 14 in all. Samluk led the offensive surge by going 4-for-6 with a double, three RBI's and three runs scored. Lopes added a 3-for-3 performance in game two, hitting a double while bringing in two and scoring one on his own.
Hampton batted 1-for-5 in the second game, hitting a double in the 6th inning to extend his hitting streak to 17 consecutive games. The junior transfer from Cecil College is now only four games away from matching the program's longest consecutive hitting streak, set by Cody Holliday at 21 straight games.
Wilmington put two runs on the board in the top of the fourth to kick off the scoring. The Wildcats then added six runs in the fifth, one run in the sixth, and four more in the seventh.
The 13 runs were more than enough for Wildcat starter Dave Hatt, as he went eight innings of scoreless baseball to earn his second win of the season. He moved to 2-0 in the early going, only giving up six hits while striking out four batters and walking one. Freshman Peter Monahan tossed a scoreless ninth inning for the combined shutout.
In addition to the Samluk, Lopes, and Hampton doubles, freshman JR Gregory smacked his first career double and first career RBI with a two-bagger down the left field line in the seventh.
The team has Saturday off before getting back into action on Sunday at home. The Wildcats will square off against East Region foe Dowling College on St. Patrick's Day at Wilson Field in a doubleheader starting at 12 p.m.

Grupo Corpo
Recorded at Jacob's Pillow:
June 24, 2004 Headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Brazil (the same hometown as Mimulus), Grupo Corpo was founded in 1975 by Paulo Pederneiras. While the company's identity is mainly as a group rather than as any one individual's vision, it is artistic director Paulo Pederneiras who is responsible for the lighting and much of the visual look of the works. His brother, Rodrigo Pederneiras, has been Grupo Corpo's primary choreographer since 1978. After its initial Pillow program in 1999 (which closed with Nazareth), the company has become a perennial favorite with several subsequent appearances.
Dance Title: Nazareth
Choreography: Rodrigo Pederneiras (1993)
Music: José Miguel Wisnik (on works of Ernesto Nazareth)

Recovery Act in the Mid-Atlantic
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 provided a historic opportunity for GSA to reinvest in our public buildings, encourage long-term growth in energy efficient technologies, alternative energy and green solutions, and stimulate job creation.
On March 31, 2009, GSA submitted a $5.5 billion spending proposal to Congress highlighting the public building projects we will accomplish with ARRA funds.
The Mid-Atlantic Region received nearly $164 million to complete work on these buildings:
J. Caleb Boggs U.S. Courthouse & Federal Building, Wilmington
The project included renovations to the public access of the main lobby. The project implemented a new entrance vestibule with energy efficient lighting fixtures inside and under the breezeway and exterior glazing. Lighting fixtures in the parking garage and stairwells were replaced with energy efficient fixtures. New curtain wall and glazing provide a thermal buffer to surrounding interior spaces, consequently reducing their energy demand requirements.
Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, Woodlawn
The project included installation of new high efficiency boilers and chillers; replacement of the existing lighting with new high performance lighting; full roof restoration including cool roof coating; installation of roof solar panels; and installation of two solar panel covered walkways.
William J. Green Federal Building & James A. Byrne U.S. Courthouse, Philadelphia
Projects for the Green Federal Building included replacement of HVAC components with high performance equipment, the installation of a sustainable roofing system and lighting upgrades with energy efficient fixtures and occupancy sensors. Projects for the Byrne U.S. Courthouse included renovations of the public restrooms to include water conservation fixtures, lighting upgrades with energy efficient fixtures and occupancy sensors and the installation of solar panels on the rooftops to generate electricity.
Philadelphia U.S. Custom House, Philadelphia
The project resulted in replacement of the building's various roof areas; restoration or modified restoration/replacement of the historic windows; restoration of the facade; installation of high efficiency boilers; replacement of the tower lighting to energy efficient fixtures and installation of a lightening protection system. The project also included an option to replace the existing front doors with revolving doors and installation of a fourth floor green roof.
Veterans Affairs Regional office & Insurance Center, Philadelphia
The project included replacement of the existing roof with a new, highly insulated roof and the installation of solar panels to generate electricity.
Spottswood W. Robinson III & Robert R. Merhige, Jr. U.S. Courthouse, Richmond
The project for the Courthouse included the installation of solar panels on the roof to generate electricity.
Richard H. Poff Federal Building & U.S. Courthouse, Roanoke
The completed project for this building reduced energy consumption through installation of a new high performance HVAC system, replacement of the window curtain wall; renovations of public restrooms to include water conservation fixtures; and lighting upgrades with energy efficient fixtures.
West Virginia
Robert C. Byrd Federal Building & Courthouse, Charleston, WV
The project included replacement of the existing roofing system; installation of a fixed panel photovoltaic array on the roof; replacement of parking garage lighting with new energy efficient fixtures, as well as lighting modifications throughout the courthouse; and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system upgrades.
Huntington Federal Building, Huntington
The project at the Huntington Federal Building includes the installation of a new high performance HVAC system, the replacement of all windows, new facade, and installation of rooftop solar panels to generate renewable electricity. The U.S. Corps of Engineers is providing an additional funding to have GSA perform interior renovations, including mandatory security upgrades, more efficient floor layouts, and new systems furniture. Both projects are being performed simultaneously.
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Martinsburg
The project included installation of a roof solar panel array and construction of solar canopies along the building front; installation of a geothermal system to supply cooling and heating; replacement of exterior lighting with energy efficient fixtures; and renovations to increase the efficiency of the existing heating, ventilation and air conditioning system.

Case | HBS Case Collection | August 2012 Jess Westerly at Kauflauf GmbH John J. Gabarro and Colleen Kaftan Jess Westerly is the assistant product owner of CRM applications for computer and office supply wholesalers and retailers at Kauflauf, a fast-growing provider of subscription enterprise software headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany. Only months into her job, outsider Westerly tries and fails to implement a change in field consultants' sales call patterns. Westerly had introduced the changes to the sales organization via a memo that outlined her directive and explained the reasons behind it. Field consultants immediately complained about the infringement on their decisions about how to spend their time and the insensitivity to the relationship-oriented nature of developing business. Three months later, sales statistics show little difference in calling patterns. After explaining, defending, and reshaping her stalled initiative, Waverly presents her amended proposal to key senior executives and is given three weeks to produce an implementation plan. If the plan is deemed acceptable, she will be asked to implement it.

We spend on average 90% of our time in buildings. The right balance of acoustic, thermal and visual comfort together with good air quality improves workplace productivity and learning outcomes.
The light reflectance of the ceiling, floor and wall surfaces play the second most important role for overall illumination of the room, thus also directly affecting working comfort and productivity.
A well designed ceiling with high light reflectance improves space illumination, allowing for fewer light fixtures, a reduced electrical light output, lower maintenance costs and a reduced cooling load.
Specifying high light reflectance ceilings contributes to LEED®, BREEAM and Ska credits.

Dear Citizen: You've no doubt noticed that the world is a troubled place. People are apathetic, lazy, unmotivated. You've probably asked yourself, "Why isn't anything being done to stop this systematic decline?" Well, you'll be happy to know measures are being taken. We, your government, have decided society needs a wake-up call. So beginning today, we will randomly select a different citizen who will be killed within 24 hours of notification.
We believe this will help remind all people how precious life is, and how important it is to be productive, active members of society. Thank you for your attention and your cooperation and participation in this new program.

And just like that, another week has flown by. Here's the latest bit of weekly inspiration. I've been looking to sources other than graphic design for ideas. I'm drawn to the textures found in handcrafted furniture, menswear design and mountainous environments. While curating this weeks inspiration post, I found underlying current of design that's built to withstand wear and tear, but still manages to be aesthetically pleasing. I'll call it rugged elegance. It's something I definitely strive for in my design work.

The fourth release on our Brazil 45's imprint.
A. Sonia Santos - Speed AA. Salinas - Tenha Fe, Pois Amanhà Um Lindo Dia Vai Nascer
Brazil 45 #4 is a Jorge Ben cover version double:
Sonia Santos samba-boogie version of Jorge Ben's 'Speed' was originally released in 1978 on RCA. The B side is a full on, albeit slightly cheesey, Disco medley entitled 'Ben Discotheque' featuring Jorge Ben's 'Chove Chuva', 'Mas Que Nada', 'Xica da Silva', 'Taj Mahal' and 'A Lua E Minha' amongst others.
Salinas version of 'Tenha Fe, Pois Amanhà Um Lindo Dia Vai Nascer' taken from the 1972 album 'Paz E Amor' has never been released on 7".
Don't sleep on the first two in this series, they are limited to 1000 copies and will sell out.
