23Gigantic Expedit-Bookcase
Materials: 6 * 4×4-Expedits, 1 * 4×2-Expedits, 6 * Perfekt cover panels
Description: We live in a 19th century Prussian residential house in the historic city center of Erfurt, a 1270 year old town in central Germany. Our apartment has a ceiling height of 3.5 meters (11.5 feet), and we decided that the library/home office would be perfect for a large bookcase. As big fans of IKEA, a solution based on their furniture was mandatory
Step-by-step guide for our 12×9 Expedit:
1. Build three 4×4-Expedits next to each other without the top plank. Anchor it to the wall.
2. Use the Perfekt cover panels to cut three new shelves to replace the top plank (size: 149cm x 39cm). Drill 10 plunge holes for the wooden dowel pins.
3. Erect the next three 4×4-Expedits without bottom and top plank thereupon. Anchor it to the wall.
4. Repeat Step 2.
5. Cut the side panels of the 4×2-Expedit and horizontal boards to create the top row of the bookcase (height: 33.6cm). Additional plunge holes for the dowel pins are necessary, as well.
6. Attach three top planks to finish the book cases.

Thanks for this idea. I have just rebuilt this in our apartment in Singapore. Took a good afternoon, but defenitly a value for money solution and looks good. Biggest challenge for us was to put in the wooden dowels for the side panels on the last few shelves on the top. We cheated a little and put only one wooden dowel on the top two shelves, that helped to be able to put the side panel on without too much hammering and force.
When we buy our own house (in forces housing at the mo.) I want a room full of these.
We are starting our version tomorrow…Luck will be needed
I want this….One day maybe.
We used the PERFEKT ABSTRAKT Cover panel for high cabinet, high gloss cream (US Article Number:
902.008.82, German Article Number: 502.007.61) and cut them to the needed length and width with a buzz saw.Different floor heights were adjusted with wedges and the help of a water-level. The 3 single "towers" are not connected to each other but anchored to the wall after they were aligned to each other.
Nice work…too bad the world is going ebook. You can probably put tons of stuff animals on your shelves.
Looks real good!
Question: What Perfekt Cover Panels did you use? Have you cut them on three sides to make them fit? There seem to be many different Perfekt panels, but I could not find Perfekt Panels in the German Ikea that would fit in width or lengths.
Didn't you had Problems (especially in an old house) with differences in the floor hight on such a length? Or have you connected the three "towers" with each other to avoid gaps ?Great work!
Heiner -
this is amazing!!!!
Wow! This is awesome! Love how you really found a good-looking solution instead of just stacking them on top with all the original planks in place!
Grüße aus Weimar
Well done! I just wonder how the lower shelves can take all the weight of the shelves abowe… Or does it matter?
The use of those cover panels is great.
One thing I hate about expedit hacks is when people just stack them on top of each other and you have this weird almost 4 inch space that should really just be the same thickness as the shelves–your solution is perfect.
Great. I love this bookshelf.
Brilliant! I want this on both sides of my fireplace…I am so impressed! Sally
Nice job. Visually appealing, particularly how you broke it up with the panels or boxes slightly below center. Super!
Love it!!
Ahh…Erfurt, meine Geburtsstadt! Wundervoll…ich liebe solche hohen Bücherregale! Da fehlt jetzt nur noch eine rollende Leiter.
WOW, that's a big one! Well done
Great hack!! awesome!
This is absolutelly fantastic
Awesome! And in scale with the room, too.
Gigantic indeed! It looks super cool!

Kendrick to face Giants after trade buzz dies down
Gaudin hopes to rebound vs. Phillies following rocky previous start
There have been plenty of trade rumors and speculation surrounding both the Phillies and Giants. As the Trade Deadline approaches, marquee players from both teams have been discussed as potentially being on the move.
But on Wednesday night, both teams will know who's playing where for the duration of the second half of the season.
While the Phillies' roster is in question, their struggles aren't. Philadelphia carried an eight-game losing streak into Tuesday night's game. That brought the Phillies to a season-worst seven games below .500. It was the longest losing streak in the Major Leagues this season.
Philadelphia snapped that streak with a 7-3 win over San Francisco.
As the Phillies' struggles have continued throughout the season, the question of whether they will be sellers has been thrown around. Players like Michael Young, Cliff Lee and Chase Utley were at the center of that speculation.
As late as Tuesday, Young was unsure of his future in Philadelphia.
"Whatever happens down the road happens down the road," Young said. "It seems like a day away, but that's a long time in baseball talk, so the last thing I want to do is hamstring the team I'm playing for. I want to make sure this is a good relationship from start to finish. Like I said, I don't think there is anything right now that is imminent, so my thoughts are on the game right now."
Regardless of what team Young suits up for Wednesday, the Phillies are going to continue to try to dig themselves out of the hole they dug for themselves in the National League East.
Kyle Kendrick will be on the mound for Philadelphia. He's been a reliable starter for the Phillies at 9-7 and a 3.96 ERA. He has the team's only win since the All-Star break, and that victory came with the support of 13 runs in a 13-8 win over the Mets at Citi Field.
Meanwhile, Chad Gaudin will start for the Giants. After starting the season in the bullpen, Gaudin moved to the rotation after Ryan Vogelsong went on the disabled list. Gaudin is 4-2 with a 2.77 ERA in 26 games, which include eight starts.
He's coming off a rough outing against the Reds, when he allowed six runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings.
While the Phillies have been at the center of trade speculation, San Francisco certainly hasn't been immune to those rumors either, with players like outfielder Hunter Pence and reliever Javier Lopez being in the middle of trade buzz.
Also like the Phillies, the Giants have scuffled recently. With its loss Tuesday night, San Francisco has lost its last five games and eight of its last nine.
All of those rumors, though, will come to a close shortly as the Trade Deadline approaches. Once the Phillies and Giants take the field Wednesday night, the uncertainty will finally have ended.
Phillies: Brown continues recovery
Outfielder Domonic Brown experienced concussion-like symptoms after diving for a fly ball last Tuesday in St. Louis, and ever since, getting back on the field hasn't been easy.
Brown was placed on the seven-day disabled list, but a return date remains unclear. Brown, who's hitting .271 with 24 home runs and 69 RBIs, is a key piece of the Phillies' lineup.
Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said Brown will undergo more concussion tests Wednesday.
"It's going to be a little while," Manuel said. "I think it's probably going to be another week."
Giants: Kieschnick gets call to the big leagues
San Francisco called up outfielder Roger Kieschnick from Triple-A Fresno before Tuesday night's game. Kieschnick, 26, was having a solid season for the Grizzlies, hitting .273 with 13 home runs and 56 RBIs. He also had 27 doubles and nine triples.
The Giants are hoping he can add a spark to the lineup.
San Francisco also called up first baseman Brett Pill, who has spent part of three seasons with the Giants. Pill, 28, was hitting .344 with 18 home runs and 79 RBIs with Fresno this season.
Worth noting
The Phillies' Cody Asche, called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, made his Major League debut when he pinch-hit in the win over the Giants. He's still looking for his first big league hit, though, as he popped out to second.

Comments about Only Natural Pet Wild Boar Liver Pet Treats:
After transitioning my dog to an all raw diet, I needed something I could replace her after dinner "cookie" with, and man-o-man did these do the trick! AND I have the added bonus of knowing we are using an invasive species as the stock for the jerky. We love it! Wish they were less expensive, but I switch up her "cookie" treats with the boar and some other freeze dried treats to lesten the blow...

Emergency crews responded to the Summerville Pier in Charlotte after a boat that struck the pier on Friday night. Four people were hurt in the crash just after 10:30 p.m. Members of the Coast Guard, firefighters, paramedics in multiple ambulances, and sheriff's deputies responded to the scene to aid in rescue operations. Deputies say a 25-foot boat was headed west on Lake Ontario when it struck the pier. Investigators say 47-year-old Dominic Antonucci suffered cuts to his face, 44-year-old Kim Antonucci broke her arm in the crash, 42-year-old Denise Godfrey cut her head and 21-year-old Stephanie Cavallaro suffered minor injuries. All four were taken to Strong Memorial Hospital for treatment. The investigation is still ongoing and possible charges are pending.
This is the second time a boat has crashed into the Summerville Pier in less than three weeks. Four people were hurt when a boat crashed into the pier on June 19.

MSU economists lay out good news and bad news related to Sandy's financial impact
The economic damage from Sandy, which meteorologists and scientists dubbed "Frankenstorm" before and during her strike on the Northeastern U.S. Monday, will likely take months to calculate.
Mississippi State University economists said Tuesday that, like the storm surge in Manhattan and along the Jersey Shore, Sandy's financial impact could be historic. Part of that will be the losses incurred by the New York Stock Exchange's closure Monday and Tuesday.
"It's very rare for the markets to close, even for a weather event," said Mike Highfield, associate professor of finance and head of Mississippi State University's Department of Finance and Economics.
The last time markets closed due to weather was 1888. Officials announced Tuesday morning that they would reopen Wednesday.
Based on history, Highfield said the reopening could produce less-than-desirable results. "Many times we see a fall when the stock market does reopen, mainly because of the event itself which caused the closure."
Because Sandy made landfall among the heavily populated Eastern Seaboard – New York City got a direct hit, and Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia were heavily impacted – Highfield said an economic loss of $20 billion just in property dame is possible. Factor in loss of tax revenue from wages, lost work time, and a general loss of commerce, and that figure could rise to $60 billion, he said.
That could make for a short-term economic slide, but it could also present investors with opportunities in the industries that support rebuilding. That was the case along the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina, spurred mainly by Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds.
Sandy's death toll as of Tuesday morning had climbed over 30. "In the long run, it may be somewhat of an economic shot, but it will take several, several months. In the meantime, there is a lot of agony and sadness from a human point of view," Highfield said in a school press release.
If the storm's track made it potentially more expensive, it could also lead to good news within the oil and gas industry. Gas prices soared in the immediate aftermath of Katrina. That probably won't be the case with Sandy, said Jon Rezek, associate professor of economics and director of Mississippi State's international business program. Sandy did nothing to cause supply interruption at any of the Gulf Coast's 54 refineries. The Northeast is home to only six such facilities.
"For the most part, gasoline will flow from a lot of the refineries down here to the rest of the country, with fairly minimal impact in terms of a price increase," Rezek said. "In total, these facilities in the Northeast refine only about 6 percent of the country's crude oil. Given the relative lack of refining capacity in the Northeast, a supply disruption there over the next few days will not likely cause near the disruption that Gulf storms have on national or regional gasoline prices."
Tuesday, the price for a barrel of benchmark crude oil rose 55 cents to $86.09. The average price for a gallon of gas fell one cent, to $3.53, more than 11 cents cheaper than two weeks ago.

Braves Announce 2014 Coaching Changes
ATLANTA, Ga. - Atlanta Braves Executive Vice President and General Manager Frank Wren announced today that third-base coach Brian Snitker has been named the manager of the Gwinnett Braves, Atlanta's Triple-A affiliate. In addition, Doug Dascenzo has been named as Atlanta's third-base coach for 2014.
After seven seasons as Atlanta's third-base coach, and 11 overall in three stints on the Braves' Major League coaching staff, Snitker moves back to a managerial role in 2014, after having managed at Triple-A Richmond in 2006. He also spent four seasons as the skipper of the club's Double-A affiliate in Greenville (2002-04) and Mississippi (2005).
Snitker, 57, joined the organization as a player in 1977 and has been with the Braves in a variety of roles ever since. He took his first managerial job in 1982, with Anderson of the South Atlantic League. In his 17 seasons as a manager, he compiled an overall record of 1,140-1,145 (.499).
Dascenzo served as the Braves' minor league roving outfield/baserunning instructor in 2013, his second season in the organization. Dascenzo oversaw the outfield play and baserunning aspects for all minor league teams in the Braves farm system. He joined the organization from the San Diego Padres, where he spent 13 seasons as a manager and coach in their farm system, including his last two at the helm of the San Antonio Missions (AA). Dascenzo's 2011 San Antonio club completed the season with a 94-46 record, posting the most wins in the minor leagues in 2011 and the second-most in franchise history. Dascenzo also led his team to the Texas League Championship, en route to being named the Texas League Manager of the Year and Baseball America's Double-A Manager of the Year.
Dascenzo, 49, totaled six seasons as a minor league manager in the Padres farm system and twice earned co-Manager of the Year awards. His first honor came in 2006 in his inaugural season as a manger, and he was awarded his second in 2009. In 2009, he was also tabbed by Baseball America as the Midwest League's Best Manager Prospect after leading Class-A Fort Wayne to its first championship in franchise history and a 94-46 finish, the best record in all of Minor League Baseball that season.
Dascenzo's coaching career began with the Padres in 1999 as an outfield/baserunning coordinator, a position he held for seven seasons. The former outfielder helped Oklahoma State University to the College World Series in 1984 and 1985, and was a 12th-round draft pick by the Chicago Cubs. He played parts of seven Major League seasons with Chicago (1988 to 1992), Texas (1993) and San Diego (1996).
The remainder of the Braves staff, including bench coach Carlos Tosca, pitching coach Roger McDowell, hitting coach Greg Walker, advance coach/assistant hitting coach Scott Fletcher, first-base coach Terry Pendleton and bullpen coach Eddie Perez, will all return for 2014.

Gallery: 40,000 Recycled Plastic Bottles Insulate the Gorgeous Zero Ene...
Weather-resistant larch was used throughout
Comfort, environmental sensitivity and livability were among the main driving principles behind this stellar design, which partially explains the use of natural materials that integrate so well with the surrounding landscape. The building has a larch frame, some larch cladding on the minor building block, and a Corten Steel shell. Local craftsmen completed the steel roof using the crimping technique. Other elements were CNC-milled and the entire structure can be disassembled and recycled should the need arise.
A combination of 16 rooftop photovoltaic panels, a geothermal pump and a wood-fired stove provide energy and heating during winter months, which is complemented by extensive southern glazing that encourages winter sun to permeate the interior. In the summer, when it's hot and muggy outside, passive design prohibits excess solar gain, and a custom LED lighting system supplements natural lighting with three different kinds of light that cool off the interior space during summer and warms it up during foggy winters.
The building produces all of its own energy, while the insulation made from 40,000 recycled plastic bottles ensures that none of it is wasted!

Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that involves treating cancer with radiation. Doctors who specialize in treating cancer with radiation (radiation oncologists) use radiation therapy to treat a wide variety of cancers.
Radiation therapy uses carefully targeted and regulated doses of high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation causes some cancer cells to die immediately after treatment. But most die over time because the radiation damages the chromosomes and DNA, so the cells can no longer divide and the tumor cannot grow.
Radiation oncologists at Mayo Clinic in Arizona treat malignant diseases and work closely with medical oncologists, surgeons and other doctors to coordinate the best care for you.

In January, three ice dance teams are assigned to International Trophy of Lyon (Hirai/Asuncion, Oi/Mizutani, Karakawa/Hirayama). I expect some of them have chances for 4CC or junior worlds based on results.
In January, three ice dance teams are assigned to International Trophy of Lyon (Hirai/Asuncion, Oi/Mizutani, Karakawa/Hirayama). I expect some of them have chances for 4CC or junior worlds based on results.
I agree with you. When the poster&Co. repeatedly gives a pic of the skater still in the air and claim that it's LANDING, someone surely can call it trolling. I thought it's just gross ignorance, but thanks to you we have a new-old term. You are right, such veterans shouldn't be taken seriously Jeez... how much time some people need to spend on boards to finally know when the jump is actually landed, even if they don't skate themselves...
Hanyu was quite dispensable at WTT and JO, sponsored by TV Tokyo. Or you are saying JSF sets their Team based on what TV channel boradcasts the event? Well-well. Where this sport is coming to...
There were different reasonings at the time of WTT and JO. The JSF still favored Takahashi despite apparent pressure from the international judges (to designate Hanyu as #1). They knew that Takahashi's scores could be held down if both of them compete head to head. I guess their priority was beating Chan with home advantages. For this purpose, Hanyu's presence is undesirable. Hanyu is now the official #1 Japanese man. Sponsors want him definitely. Also they can use 4CC to boost him higher and put more pressure on Chan.
In a recent poll (before Japanese nationals), Hanyu was ranked 1st as "the most highly expected male athelete in 2013." I think his popularity is already surpassing Takahashi. Asada was the 1st on women's side.

Just that? Oh, and I thought it's because Fuji TV with their householding products audience is more into kawai boys than TV Tokyo. And you are saying it's all JSF games? is there a poll for the best conspiracy theory? I would know who deserves the top prize . Seriously, you make it sound like all events in Japan are set and the results is fixed. Why PChan should even bother to come in this case. I wonder if you say the same thing on fixed results if Hanyu wins.
As for surpassing stars, you'll be eligible to tell that when there will be another skater besides Mao and Dai with the same number of advertising contracts and show tickets sales.
Kozuka! </3 I am so heartbroken for him!
So surprising . . . after his performance at the GPF, I didn't think Mura had any hope of making the World team. Things can change so suddenly and unexpectedly in figure skating.
Last edited by museksk8r; 12-24-2012 at 10:58 AM.
I'm sad about JSF's decision: I felt that at least Hongo or Kato deserved a place in the 4CC team, and so did Oda and Kozuka... :( Last year's assignements were a lot wiser! (Sending #1, #4 and #5 to 4CC and #1, #2 and #3 to Worlds)
Ah, ok, I misunderstood. Yes, it feels weird. I wonder what the commentors are going to say. At least the German Eurosport guys adore Kozuka, this will be hard on them. But if he is injured it may even be better for him, if he's not competing.
I dont quite understand you here. Are you saying that picture was not Takahashis landing? Yes, I learned a lesson in the Half time thread that my earlier GPF landing pictures were too late and not really landings. Then I learned how to capture landing screenshot to make it accurate. I suggest you do the same and study whats the real landing. Landing means the instant when a skaters skate just touches the ice. When some skaters under-rotate their jumps, they complete more than 1/4 rotation of the jump on the ice instead of in the air. So judges will count the moment when the skate first touches the ice as the landing, not after the skater fully rotates the jump on the ice. Remember the skaters are supposed to rotate their jumps in the air, not on the ice. Or maybe you can show me some evidence what Takahashis landing should have been in your opinion?
I agree. Even though Im not a Kozuka fan, I think he or Oda deserves at least 4CC. I kinda like Mura and think he earned his spot at Worlds, but JSF should really spread the assignments and send someone else to 4CC, especially since there are so many talented men in Japan. I was really surprised that Mura got to go to both Worlds and 4CC.
Especially since Oda is FROM Osaka. :(
All of Oda, Kozuka and Machida can remain ranked within 24th of WS and SB lists. They can have at least one GP assignment and possibly two. Sending them to 4CC won't change their chances. In last year, Machida and Mura didn't fulfill those conditions at the point of Japanese nationals. Therefore it was rational to send them to 4CC. Sponsors wouldn't complain as long as Takahashi (and Asada) were participating.

Visit the Big Apple for Your Next Vacation
New York city guide
"The city that never sleeps," New York lives up to its nickname with exciting diversions 24/7. Whether you're ready to experience the thrill of a Broadway show or you want to step into the shoes of the many immigrants who began their lives in New York with a visit to Ellis Island, the Big Apple offers both opportunities and countless more.
The USA's largest city, New York is made up of five distinct boroughs: Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. Each district has a unique personality and features all its own, but most visitors gravitate toward Manhattan: despite being just 12 miles long and three miles wide, this central district offers plenty of action for all age groups.
Exploring other areas couldn't be easier, either; just hop on board a bus or subway line. Overall, NYC has the advantage of being seriously walkable, but also boasts a reliable and well-organized public transit system. No matter where you stay when you're in town, there's a good chance you won't be too far from the action.
Things to see and do
Get a bird's-eye-view of NYC
The vertical power of this city is nearly overwhelming. Only like New York embodies the golden era of skyscrapers, and eight of them became the tallest in the world at different times over the course of the 20th century. Get a bird's-eye view of New York with an elevator ride up the Empire State Building, or try less-crowded but equally impressive Top of the Rock. This observation points extends over the 67th, 69th and 70th floors of the Rockefeller Center, from which you'll find fantastic views of Manhattan, Central Park and the Empire State Building.
Eat your way from Chinatown to Little Italy
When it comes to dining in New York, you really are spoilt for choice. Little Italy and Chinatown are packed with authentic eateries, while popular all-American diners like Stardust serve classics like Brooklyn Bagel, burgers, crispy wings and nachos. Finding the best bagel in New York could easily become the ultimate quest during your time in the city; take a look here to find some of the potential nominees.
If celebrity-spotting is at the top of your menu, check out Serendipity 3 on East 60th Street. Legendary for its "Frrrozen Hot Chocolate" dessert, this hotspot is always bustling and often sprinkled with some famous faces.
The stars of Broadway
Mesmerized by the bright lights of Broadway? Make sure to book theater tickets in advance and if you're not too picky about the production, you might even score seats near the stage at discount prices. Just ask the box office staff if the show has a daily ticket lottery system in place. From Wicked to Phantom of the Opera to Chicago, you could be watching one of the biggest shows on the planet when you're in town.
Where to stay
If you're itching to stay in the heart of the city, look no further than Manhattan's Uptown. Its northernmost clime is home to the Guggenheim Museum and the Met, Greenwich Village, Central Park and a revitalized, culture-drenched Harlem.
It goes without saying that NYC's most exclusive hotels are in Midtown: the New York Marriott Marquis (right on Times Square), The Peninsula New York (Fifth Avenue), Doubletree Guest Suites (Times Square) and the Carlyle (Madison Avenue). The famous lights of Broadway are only a cab or subway ride away, and affordable Midtown stays are also available: take a look at our Budget Big Apple guide for all the Manhattan tips you need.
A city within a city, Manhattan's lower precinct is made up of world-famous areas such as Chinatown, Little Italy, Wall Street and the resurrected World Trade Center. Soho's fashionistas, Tribeca's celebrities, and the East Village's culinary delights also make downtown truly cosmopolitan.
Close enough to the Manhattan buzz, but with a laid-back feel, Brooklyn is a borough where you can experience echoes of New York from days gone by, while enjoying the hippest crowds, trends and venues. Here you'll find hotels to suit a wide range of budgets and tastes. Just across the East River from Manhattan, the New York Marriott at Brooklyn Bridge is a gateway to both Manhattan and the heart of Brooklyn. Close to McCarren Park, the uber-cool King and Grove Williamsburg is the first full-service lifestyle hotel in Brooklyn. On Dean Street, The Missing Lantern offers the kind of affordable rooms that make Brooklyn a prime option for those traveling on a budget.

Edit: Naw, it's a fine country, just a bit messed up legislation.
Disgusting, stupid, idiot, unexchusable, officious software patents. And when I think that there are people who support this kind of establishment , makes me sick.
I am not a lawyer.
We will be adding compile-time flags to Mesa for several features over the next few weeks. It will be up to distros and individual users to decide which features they would like to build into their Mesas. Some features will be enabled by default, some will not.
We are not helpless; we do have a plan.
im going to be the oddball out.
Isnt OGG patented?
And im glad you guys have a plan
Ogg is not patented.
Vorbis is not patented; some companies have claimed to hold patents against it, but Xiph is confident that it is legally okay to develop and distribute Vorbis.
Theora is patented, but the patents are all well-known and have been released under a very liberal license, effectively making Theora as free as, if not freer than, Vorbis.
S3TC is patented.
As you can see in their main page http://www.vorbis.com/
Also, from wikipedia:Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source.
Patent retaliation
"Patent retaliation" clauses are included in several free software licences. The goal of these clauses is to create a penalty so as to discourage the licensee (the user/recipient of the software) from suing the licensor (the provider/author of the software) for patent infringement by terminating the licence upon the initiation of such a lawsuit.
The Free Software Foundation included a narrow patent retaliation clause in drafts 1 and 2 of version 3 of the GPL, however, this clause was removed in draft 3 as its enforceability and effectiveness was decided to be too dubious to be worth the added complexity.[14]
Examples of broader clauses are those of the Apache License and the Mozilla Public License.
god d*mn all patents, really.
My opinion has always been "screw 'em, they can't sue us all".
Whose fault are these patents, and do they have any products we can boycott?

Are you the owner of a brainy chicken who can only relax and lay an egg while perusing A Remembrance of Things Past? Well, Nieman Marcus is here to cater to the needs of even the fussiest of hens. The Heritage Hen Mini Farm ($100,000) is a "multilevel dwelling" that features a nesting room, broody room, living room, chandelier, and even a library. (The library comes stocked with chicken and gardening books, not Proust.) Geez, says Sarah Miller at Grist. "Of all the things you could have given to the chickens who inhabit this manse," Nieman Marcus has decided that "what chickens really want to do is read."
An estimated 500 to 700 people went missing on Sunday after a boat ferrying migrants to Italy capsized north of Libya in the Mediterranean Sea.
The 65-foot-long fishing boat sent a distress call overnight, but when another vessel approached the migrants huddled to the far side of the ship, causing it to capsize, according to the Italian Coast Guard. Close to 20 ships raced to the site of the tragedy, and rescuers have pulled 28 people from the water so far.
Roughly 900 people are believed to have died this year trying to cross the sea to Italy. Jon Terbush
California's State Water Resources Control Board released modified proposed conservation restrictions on Saturday, adjusting the planned cuts based on conservation efforts that have already been made by various communities, the Los Angeles Times reports.
A former draft divided water suppliers into four tiers; the new framework places them into one of nine tiers, "to more equitably allocate" cuts. The Associated Press reports that officials from cities which had proactively begun drought-saving efforts were frustrated with the board's original proposal, which answered Gov. Jerry Brown's executive order requiring a 25-percent cutback in urban water usage.
"The fact that we are being dinged additional costs doesn't seem fair," John Helminski, San Diego's assistant director of public utilities, told AP.
Across the state, depending on their tier, water suppliers will be expected to cut total daily water use by anywhere from 8 percent to 36 percent. Water suppliers that do not meet their cut could face fines of up to $10,000 per day. The board is expected to vote on the revised framework proposal in early May. Sarah Eberspacher
Sixty-four years after it was scuttled off California's Farallon Islands, the USS Independence has been re-discovered, resting on the seafloor "amazingly intact," according to NOAA scientists. A survey team made up of representatives from NOAA, the U.S. Navy and private industry parties is working on a two-year project to map and study the more than 300 shipwrecks estimated to be lying off California's coast.
The Independence is thought to be the deepest shipwreck in the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, which covers nearly 3,300 square miles of water beyond the Golden Gate Bridge.
"After 64 years on the seafloor, Independence sits on the bottom as if ready to launch its planes," James Delgado, chief scientist on the mission, said. "It is a reminder of the industrial might and skill of the 'greatest generation' that sent not only this ship, but their loved ones to war."
The Independence was one of more than 90 vessels used as a target fleet for the Bikini Atoll atomic bomb tests, in 1946. Before that, it operated out of the central and western Pacific for two years. Scientists used a remote-controlled submarine to take images of the shipwreck; check out the photo, below, and read more about the carrier via the National Marine Sanctuaries' website. —Sarah Eberspacher

Australian officials said on Saturday that counterterrorism forces had arrested five men in the Melbourne area for plotting to carry out an ISIS-inspired attack on police officers during Australia's memorial day ceremonies, NPR reports.
At least two of the men were charged with terrorism-related offenses; the others were released after being questioned. Officials said two of the men planned to target police officers at ANZAC Day ceremonies marking the 100th anniversary of Australia's entry into World War I. Sarah Eberspacher
Speaking at the Republican Leadership Summit in New Hampshire on Saturday, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul attacked the Obama administration's role in the 2011 toppling of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, calling the operation "a mistake," The Guardian reports.
"One thing that is probably true in the Middle East, every time we have toppled a secular dictator, a secular strong man, we've gotten chaos and the rise of radical Islam," the presidential hopeful said. "The president won't name the enemy but I will: it's radical Islam. Until we name it, we can't defeat them and I will tell you this: If I were commander-in-chief, I would do everything it takes to…defend the country against radical Islam."
Paul went on to criticize Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server as secretary of state, asking, "Is she sort of above the rules?"

President Barack Obama announced in his weekly address that he will travel to the Florida Everglades on Wednesday, which is Earth Day, to bring attention to the dangers of climate change.
"Fourteen of the 15 hottest years on record have fallen in the first 15 years of this century," Obama says. "This winter was cold in parts of our country — as some folks in Congress like to point out — but around the world, it was the warmest ever recorded."
Florida has recently been in the news for how its legislators are addressing — or not — the problem of climate change. The Washington Post notes that Governor Rick Scott's administration reportedly tried to "ban" state officials from using the term, and presidential hopeful Sen. Marco Rubio voted against an amendment that would have stated that "human activity significantly contributes" to climate change.
Watch Obama's prelude to his Wednesday speech on the topic, below. —Sarah Eberspacher
Scientist who discovered ozone layer hole: 'We are still inflicting major changes on the atmosphere'
Thirty years after three British scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica, one of them says humans are still "inflicting major changes on the atmosphere."
"Then, it was chlorofluorocarbons; today it is greenhouse gases," Jon Shanklin of the British Antarctic Survey told The Guardian. "The ozone hole story tells us that it is very easy to cause major changes to the atmosphere — it only took about 10 years to develop — but it is very difficult to restore equilibrium. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have learned that lesson."
In 1985, Shanklin, along with colleagues Brian Gardiner and the late Joe Farman, discovered manmade chemicals were depleting the ozone in the upper atmosphere, allowing cancer-causing radiation to reach the earth. Their work led to the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty that banned CFCs and has been called "the single most successful international agreement to date."
But Shanklin now notes that "the CFCs we put up there will take a long time to dissipate," and that the ozone layer is far from fully recovered.

We are so impressed by the creativity demonstrated by 100 quilters in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7. We think you will be too. And if you leave a comment on this post, you'll be entered into a drawing for a free copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7. Please check out Quilty Pleasures blog, by the wonderful folks at Quiltmaker Magazine, to see who else is on today's blog hop list.
Whether you love to do appliqué, foundation-pieced blocks, mixed-technique blocks, or pieced blocks, Volume 7 will certainly have some inspiration for you! These are the blocks and quilts that inspired us.
Do you have a pile of scraps just crying out to be used in a quilt? Why not make the Paris Square block, #674, designed by Jessie Kurtz of Harding Hill Designs.
Simply choose a great fabric to frame your scraps and blocks and quickly turn a dozen blocks into your next masterpiece.
Depending on your fabric choices, this quilt design would be great as a baby quilt, a wall hanging, or a throw. And just think of all of the great quilting you can show off in the negative space around the blocks.
The sample quilt features a chevron quilting design which compliments the geometric nature of the quilt. We think it would also be great quilted with something traditional, such as feathers, or another "curvy" motif to contrast with the geometric nature of the blocks.
Here's a great twist on the traditional spool block. Crossed Spools is by blogger and fabric designer Pam Vieira-McGinnis of pamkittymorning. And, of course, it uses fabric she designs for Lakehouse Dry Goods.
We especially liked a couple of the appliquéd blocks because of the pieced backgrounds.
The first is the block called Summer's in Bloom by Cheryl Brown of quilterchic.com. Choosing a colorful batik fabric for the flower blossom piece adds interest to the flower without having to use multiple fabrics.
And who doesn't love the beautiful appliqué designs by Piece O'Cake Designs. This block is by Becky Goldsmith. The offset appliqué design adds a modern twist to this charming block.
Handi Quilter recently featured Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins of Piece O'Cake Designs in one of our 2013 ads.
And Becky and Linda are prominently featured on the HQ truck that goes to quilt shows around the U.S.
To have an opportunity to win a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7, simply leave a comment at the bottom of this post before midnight on Monday, May 6th to be part of the fun. Just hop over to the Quiltmaker blog, Quilty Pleasures, to find more chances to win.
Good luck! We'll announce our winner on Tuesday, May 7th.
*** Deadline has passed to be entered into the drawing. Thanks to all who submitted comments. ***

After rare rough outing, Wood ready to rebound
Braves lefty opposes Phils righty Kendrick, who has struggled of late
The Braves have a comfortable lead at the top of the National League East, so it isn't as if Alex Wood's last outing delivered much of a blow to Atlanta's road to the postseason. But the young left-hander had been pitching so dominantly, a rough performance against the Marlins certainly stood out.
Wood and the Braves had six days to digest that loss. Now Wood will have his first chance to bounce back when Atlanta plays the Phillies on Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park. Kyle Kendrick will be on the mound for Philadelphia.
In Wood's last start Sunday, he allowed seven earned runs on eight hits over 2 1/3 innings in a 7-0 loss to the Marlins.
"It's been a while since I got beat that bad," Wood said after that start. "I actually can't remember the last time I had a day like today. It's hard to say it's going to happen once in a blue moon, because I feel like I'm going to go out and throw a shutout every time."
It was undeniably a surprise given the way Wood had been pitching. In his six previous outings, Wood was 3-0 with a 1.46 ERA. Opponents were hitting only .203 against him over that span.
So his struggles against Miami were certainly alarming, but Wood said afterward he still feels confident in his stuff. Wood figures to be a key part of the Braves' rotation in the postseason, so it'll be critical for Atlanta that the 22-year-old returns to his dominant ways.
Meanwhile, Kendrick is coming off his own rough outing, where he gave up five runs on eight hits over six innings against the Cubs. In 16 starts going back to June 8, the right-hander is 4-9 with a 5.74 ERA.
"The last two or three outings, it's been something a little bit different," Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg said after Kendrick's last start. "But today, [Kendrick] just didn't have his two-seam fastball that he can throw to the front side of a left-handed hitter and he can throw to right-handed hitters and get ground balls."
Kendrick also struggled in his last start against the Braves on July 6, when he allowed six runs on 12 hits over five innings. In his career, though, he's 7-2 with a 3.20 ERA against Atlanta.
The Braves are in a stretch of 13 consecutive games against National League East opponents as they draw closer to clinching the division.
Braves: Heyward making progress
• Atlanta had some welcome news Friday when it learned Jason Heyward's recovery from his broken jaw is progressing smoothly and a return to game action could be in the near future.
The right fielder was hit in the jaw with a 90-mph fastball from Mets starter Jon Niese on Aug. 21. Heyward's been hitting off a tee, but manager Fredi Gonzalez said the outfielder will need to see time in a game before he rejoins Atlanta's lineup.
"I don't have any expectations," Gonzalez said. "The report was he looked good. There is a chance he'll rejoin us on Monday or Tuesday in Miami. ... I don't know how much hitting we want him to do [without supervision]. Off the tee is fine, maybe some cardio, but I really don't know."
Before going on the DL, Heyward was hitting .253 with 13 home runs and 37 RBIs.
Phillies: Asche on a roll
• Cody Asche started his Major League career with some early struggles at the plate. But since going 1-for-17 to begin his time with the Phillies, the 23-year-old has heated up to become a key part of the club's offense.
The third baseman hit a two-run home run in the seventh inning of Philadelphia's 2-1 win over Atlanta on Friday night, which was his second homer in his last three games.
Asche went 2-for-3 for his third straight multi-hit game. Since that 1-for-17 stretch, Asche is hitting .333 with four home runs and 18 RBIs.
Worth noting
• After his third-inning home run Friday night, Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons is 5-for-15 (.333) in his last five games, with two home runs and six RBIs.

Dealers and collectors bid a soggy farewell to 2011's Brimfield antiques show season
Weather again menaced Brimfield for this season's final gathering September 6-11, 2011 with rain Tuesday and a storm Wednesday overnight called the hundred year rainfall by the weather reporters on TV and radio.

Can I buy the original patina antiques dealers use? Sorry, come back in 100 years
If you were able to ask an appraiser on TV or an auctioneer could they, in fact, precisely define the concept of patina for you? Probably not. As it turns out, the definition of patina is a lot like the definition of pornography. It's hard to say what it is but you know it when you see it.

Furniture Detective: Don't underestimate sandpaper's ability to close wood pores and even grain color
Furniture Detective Fred Taylor asks after a piece of antique furniture is stripped, what happens next? The purist will say to finish it in some exotic concoction of wax and oil and leave it alone. The hack next door will recommend three coats of tinted gloss polyurethane rubbed between coats with fine steel wool. The professional will say: "Sand it first." Sand it? Why in the world would you sand it? Because preparation is 90 percent of finishing, and the best finish in the world won't look good if the piece isn't properly prepared for the finish. So what exactly is the objective of the sanding process?

Norma, if the Brooklyn leg starts towards noon, I'd be happy to meet you at Port Authority earlier and we could hit up a NY-Style slice from Sacco Pizza or get a square from Artichoke on the way to meet the rest of the peeps in Brooklyn.Keep it in the back of your head. --K
It looks like this is shaping up to be an early Fri. 'Kelly' leg and a later Fri. 'Adam' leg. We need to start narrowing down which places go in the daytime column and which go at night.
Now, Adam seemed pretty amped about Best, but I know Kelly is a Best fan as well, so you to are going to have to duke that out
