I started this quilt with my Mom back in August….when the owner of those little feet up there couldn't talk back yet.
The chevrons are all cross weave solids, while the backgrounds are a big mix of prints. Together the prints don't go together at all…but the solids somehow unify all of it.
The inspiration came from this magazine:
That one is lovely and hand quilted (I think)…but mine will probably get the loopty-loop free motion treatment sometime this weekend.

Surprisingly roomy! Pockets for everything. I use the zipper compartment for my (brick-of-a) wallet and still have room for my (overloaded) key ring, beauty essentials, ipad air.. And could probably stuff a few other items in the main and zipper compartments. Oh! And that back side pocket... Super convenient for my cell phone! Definitely satisfied with the purchase. Leather is soft, smells fantastic and the patchwork adds lots of character. Would definitely recommend.

A week's holiday in a luxurious hotel is just what Scotland Yard's Superintendent Duncan Kincaid needs. But his vacation ends dramatically with the discovery of a dead body in the whirlpool bath. Despite a suspicious lack of cooperation from the local constabulary, Kincaid's keen sense of duty won't allow him to ignore the heinous crime, impelling him to send for his enthusiastic young assistant, Sergeant Gemma James. But the stakes are raised significantly when a second murder occurs, and Kincaid and James find themselves locked in a determined hunt for a fiendish felon looking for fresh blood....
©1993 Deborah Darden Crombie. All rights reserved. (P)2011 AudioGO
Narrative makes the world go round.
"series readers, start here"
After buying on this sale, I abandoned it as too cliched a detective tale (James/Rendell wannabe), but after starting another Crombie sale acquisition later in the series, I returned to #1 to better understand the Jenna/Duncan backstory - Glad I did! I just finished # 7 - Each gets stronger as a novel, so if you enjoy minimally violent British-set detection with threads of a developing relationship (no explicit sex), you may enjoy this.
I loved Deehey as a narrator, loved Jenny Sterlin when the series adopted her voice (and started incorporating a historical thread in more complex plots), and am really looking forward to the upcoming (early 2013) instalment with Gerard Doyle, once I get to Book 15.
Crombie is still not a Rendell or James, but then, I don't always want to think that much.
"Christie Style Detective Mystery"
I bought this first book in the series as a deal for $2 and thought I would give it a try based on all the good reviews. Glad I didn't spend more than that and that the book was short. If you are not a fan of the Agatha Christie style of mysteries, with an ensemble cast of characters and one smart detective and his plucky side kick solving murders, I'd give this a pass. The story was told at a distance--with everyone kept at more than arms length. Characters are hard to keep track of as they are so sketchy there isn't enough information to hold on to. Then just when nothing makes any sense the detective "solves" the case sweeping away all the red herrings. What a total bore.
"I love finding a new author"
One of the reasons I love Audible so much is that other readers review books I haven't discovered before. A recent review of Deborah Crombie's latest book led me to the first in the series. Set in a country house, organized as a time share, this could have been a re-telling of the old "parlour" whodunit. Happily, the story was fresh and the characters were well-drawn. I enjoyed "meeting" Duncan Kinkaid and look forward to learning more about him. What little was glimpsed of Gemma James made me want to know more. The narrator, Michael Deehy, is excellent. In all, a very enjoyable listening experience.
"Intricate, thoroughly engaging mystery"
Duncan Kincaid goes on holiday to of all places a sort of upscale boarding house in the English countryside. The English certainly have an odd taste in holidays. Duncan, baby, what are you thinking? The Costa del Sol is only a few hours away from London by plane! Of course, there is a murder and of course Duncan steps in to solve it. This is one of my favorite Deborah Crombie stories--not sure why exactly. I like the set-up of a diverse, ill-tempered bunch of egotists all thrown together in a small hotel; I like the fact that it was a little less graphically brutal than some of Crombie's other books. The narrator is excellent.
"Great book for Agatha Christie cozy fans"
Many friends have convinced me that I needed to start reading the Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James mysteries. Great suggestion! Just finished book one, and am surprised how wonderfully well written this English cozy was done for a first time author. Definitely fits that fun place that Agatha Christie developed for me. Glad there are so many more out there to be read.
Scotland Yard's Superintendent Duncan Kincaid is vacation at a friend's timeshare---or at least, that was his plan before a dead body showed up in the whirlpool. Even though this happened in someone else's district, Kincaid can't help but become involved when the local constabulary seems to be more interested in snubbing Kincaid than solving a murder. Soon, Kincaid calls upon his mate, Gemma James, to do some needed investigating too.
The cast of characters was distinctly quirky, and the clues abounded, but I was still surprised by the final results. A sign of good things to come. Definitely left me NOT wanting to go on a "time share" vacation any time soon!! Looking forward to the developing relationship between Kincaid and James also.
"We couldn't finish this one..."
My family and I planned to listen to this book on a 12 hour drive this winter. We listened to about an hour of it and all of us agreed it was time to stop. The story went absolutely nowhere, the characters were flat and unappealing and the narrator was only average. I picked this book up on a buy one get one offer...I guess you really do get what you pay for!
"Never Gets Off the Ground"
The preview made it look interesting but it never gets off the ground. It just drags on and on. A major disappointment. Don't waste your time and money.
"Enjoyable enough"
I was underwhelmed. The ending comes out of nowhere, and I felt it made a lot of aspects of the story unnecessary.
A great voice... I wish everything in my life could be narrated by a British man.
I would say it is if you are like me. I can listen to books while at work, so it was nice to get me through my day, but I wouldn't have taken time out of my day to listen to it.
It wasn't a bad book in any sense, it just wasn't all that exciting. And there wasn't enough character development to really get you to care about them.
"Vintage Kincaid and James"
Interesting, puzzling, engaging.
I enjoyed the characters and the glimpses into the motivations and hidden parts of their lives and actions. They are not all black and white, but complex and interesting. There are still enough likable ones to keep me reading. It is fun to see the beginnings of the developing relationship between Kincaid and Jenna James.
Easy to listen to; not obtrusive or distracting.
I think the climax, although a bit predictable, was still moving.
Great British mystery for fans of cozy and not too gory mysteries. Well written.

Men deny knife attack, robbery of teenagerBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | February 05,2013BRATTLEBORO Two men answered to charges Monday of stabbing a 16-year-old Brattleboro teen in the neck with a kitchen knife as they tried to rob him after he walked home Friday night from the Boys and Girls Club.
Charles Trowell, 40, of Jersey City, N.J., and Anthony Gonzalez, 32, of Brattleboro, faced multiple charges for the assault and robbery. Their alleged victim, identified in court papers only by his initials, was treated and released from Brattleboro Memorial Hospital after the Friday night attack. Trowell, who was staying with friends in Brattleboro, was ordered held without bail by Judge David Suntag. Trowell has a lengthy criminal record, most of it in New Jersey, and has spent most of the last 20 years in and out of prison, said Windham County Deputy States Attorney David Gartenstein.
Trowell pleaded innocent to charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, assault and robbery with a weapon, aggravated assault with a weapon and simple assault with a weapon.
Gonzalez pleaded innocent to charges of assault and robbery, aggravated assault with a weapon and simple assault by menace. He was ordered held for lack of $25,000 bail.
Trowell told Brattleboro police they didnt know the teenager, and Trowell told police that he was drunk at the time and didnt know why he did it. The teenager told police the two men stole about $15 from him.
The teen said he was walking up Elm Street when he was approached by two men, and that one man grabbed him by the front of his shirt and asked him how much money he had.
The teenager said he recognized Gonzalez from previous encounters, and knew him as Solo.
Gonzalez grabbed the teenager and told him You dont know me, the teenager said.
The two men then pulled the teenager behind a snowbank off Elm Street, took out a knife and threatened him by holding it against his throat, according to the teenager.
The teenager said the man he didnt know said, Im going to end this now, and attempted to stab him in the upper torso.
The teenager said the man was holding the knife like a butcher. He said he pushed the man away, and that was when his neck was cut.
The teenager said he ran away, and lost his shoe and sweatshirt containing his cellphone and wallet and ran back to the Boys and Girls Club. He got a ride to Brattleboro Memorial Hospitals emergency room from two motorists.
Police said the teenager was crying and breathing fast when they interviewed him. He further stated that he was happy he lived, police said.
Police went to the home of Gonzalez on Clark Street first, and Gonzalez identified the other man by his street name, Lox.
Gonzalez was arrested, and police went to an apartment on Thomas Street, where Lox was staying. Police said that Trowell was hiding in the shower and eventually came out and told them I didnt mean to do it, I was drunk.
He told police he thought he was using the knife just to scare the teenager, and he thought the blade was pointed out.
Trowell said that a group of them were just trying to have fun, police said, who described Trowell as crying and upset.
Trowell said he was in Brattleboro to visit his son.
In court Monday, the judge refused to release either man, agreeing with the state that there were no conditions to protect the public in Trowells case.
Gonzalez, who lives in Brattleboro with his partner and their three children, is on disability, according to his court-appointed attorney, Christopher Montgomery.
Montgomery initially said Gonzalez had lived in Brattleboro for four years, but after conferring with Gonzalez, he said he had lived in New England for four years, and Vermont for two years. Gonzalez takes care of his children while his partner is at work, Montgomery said, suggesting a home curfew would keep Gonzalez off the streets.
Suntag refused to release either him.
It wasnt clear if Gonzalez and Trowell knew each other, although at one point during the proceedings Gonzalez said he had a cousin named Trowell.

Necklace & Bracelet Clasp Types
Lobster Claw Clasp: As a traditional clasp style found in bracelets and necklaces, the lobster claw is generally reserved for heavier styles that may need added strength. The closure's shape is more oblong, similar to a teardrop shape, and is controlled by a tip that opens and closes the spring in the clasp. This type is also considered a more expensive finding that can add to the overall value of the jewelry piece.
Magnetic Clasp: The popularity of the magnetic clasp has greatly increased in recent years. It is a quick and easy way to secure jewelry while not having to fuss with a tiny clasp, which can be difficult if you have long fingernails, arthritic hands or other mobility challenges. A magnetic clasp relies on a strong internal magnet that works to pull both ends of the clasp together. In most cases, a magnetic clasp is used for light to medium weight jewelry pieces that do not put excessive stress on the magnet.
Slide Insert Clasp: This type of clasp is exactly as it sounds. With a box-like shape that is hollow on the inside, the wearer will slide the nearly-flat tab into the box until it clicks, indicating a secure closure. On some jewelry, a slide insert clasp will be accompanied by a side safety catch, which adds strength and security to the clasp. Although this type of clasp is found on both bracelets and necklaces, it is particularly popular on bracelet styles. These types of clasps are often reserved for more expensive jewelry.
Spring Ring Clasp: One of the most common closure types, the spring ring clasp is typically used for light to medium weight bracelets or necklaces. It is round in its design and features a small tip which controls the opening and closing of the spring. The circle then closes around another smaller loop or link at the other end of the strand.
Toggle Clasp: A toggle clasp is a narrow piece of metal, usually designed in the shape of a bar, which is then pushed through a circular ring to act as a fastener. Unlike the lobster claw or spring ring clasps, a toggle clasp is not controlled by a spring. The pretty design is less secure than other closure types, but is usually meant to be a big part of the design and is meant to "show". The clasp is an attractive way to secure a chunkier link bracelet or necklace.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Named by the Romans, who thought the gems were formed from moonlight, moonstones have a floating light effect called "adularescence." They often have translucent grounds with silvery white or blue flashes. Moonstone almost seems magical with a ghostly, shimmering glow floating in a crystalline material. With a clarity range of transparent to translucent, the gem's body color can range from colorless to gray, brown, yellow, orange, green or pink. The best moonstone has a blue sheen, perfect clarity and a colorless body color. One variety called "rainbow moonstone" has a sheen that features a variety of rainbow hues.
Moonstones are usually cut in smooth, domed cabochon shapes to maximize the effects of sheen and adularescence. Fine moonstone is already quite rare and becoming rarer. It is mined in Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Kenya. Rainbow moonstone is also found in Madagascar.
Ancient Romans thought moonstones changed appearances with the phases of the moon. They also believed that an image of Diana, the goddess of the moon, could be seen in each stone. During the Middle Ages, people believed one could gaze into the gem, fall into a deep sleep, and see the future. Today the stone represents serenity, happiness and friendship. It is believed to be a stone of inner strength and is said to arouse passions. In Europe, moonstone is considered the birthstone for June, although in the United States, it shares that distinction with the pearl. It is traditionally given as a 13th wedding anniversary gift.

Hi there,
I'm having a couple problems:
- How, and more importantly, where do I change the font size of the items in our footer columns? We want to make the font much smaller, but I can't for the life of me find where to put to the code. I have tries the CSS/LESS field, and the footer.php. No dice.
- How do I tell the footer to have its own background? We want the footer to have a solid color background that infinitely spans horizontally and vertically. Right now, it's transparent.

Maine Wreaths Go to Arlington Cemetery
- Login to add to Favorites
- 18 Comments
Wreath escort is underway: wreathsacrossamerica.org. The next ceremony will take place on December 10, 2011 at 12 Noon E.S.T!
Yankee Classic from November 2007
Come with me into the center of the major media event of this day, Thursday, December 14, 2006. It's 7:30 in the morning, and we're at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, just outside the nation's capital.
The sun has not yet broken through the gray sky,and you can see the breath from the reporters and photographers huddling in clusters along the leafy drive.
All the major networks are here, including CNN and Fox, as well as newspapers from as near as D.C. and as far as France and Australia. Everyone is waiting for Morrill Worcester and his 5,200 handmade balsam wreaths from Maine.
Cars are lined up outside the cemetery as far as you can see, as if awaiting entry to a big game. Beside me, a photographer from the Associated Press packs up his gear. "This will be impossible," he says. "I can't work like this." He leaves.
At 8:30 the sea of media and volunteers parts, and here comes the truck, "Wreaths Across America" emblazoned on its sides, stacked floor to ceiling with the greens for the gravestones of the military dead. And now here comes the white van, with red, white, and blue stripes, carrying Morrill Worcester, his wife, Karen, and their children.
Alongside is a motorcycle escort, the Patriot Guard Riders. They've ridden with the Worcesters from Harrington, Maine, 750 miles down U.S. Route 1, through small towns and cities. Morrill Worcester will call the last four days "the world's longest veterans' parade."

c.1300, "to bend or bow toward," from Old French encliner, from Latin inclinare "to cause to lean; bend, incline, turn, divert," from in- "into, in, on, upon" (see in- (2)) + clinare "to bend," from PIE *klei-n-, suffixed form of *klei- "to lean" (see lean (v.)). Metaphoric sense of "have a mental disposition toward" is early 15c. in English (but existed in classical Latin). Related: Inclined; inclining.
c.1600, "mental tendency," from incline (v.). The literal meaning "slant, slope" is attested from 1846.

Reflections of Light™ Barbie® Doll
Encouraged by the soft tonal palette of artist Pierre Auguste Renoir, this third doll in a series inspired by great artists seems to belong in the Louvre, itself. Barbie® doll's glamorous gown is truly a masterpiece of chiffon in periwinkle blues, powdery purples and pinks — with soft patterns of yellow accents. The neckline of her bodice features delicate beading accented with purple-pink flowers. Her skirt is flipped up on the side, revealing an under-layer of tulle and chiffon with embellishments of blue beads, sequins, and flowers. A beautiful blue chiffon bow decorates the opposite side of the skirt, and she wears matching sheer gloves. Barbie® artfully brings everything together by wearing her brown hair in an elegant up-do accented with flowers, faux pearl drop earrings, a black faux pearl drop choker, and periwinkle t-strap sandals.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

Community Sanitation Overview:
The school and teacher's housing, as well as a new washeteria are connected to a new community well. The washeteria facility provides drinking water from the well as well as restroom, shower, and laundry facilities. While water is piped to the school, there is no piped water service to homes in the community. The school and teacher's housing have individual septic systems, but the other 22 homes in the village are not fully plumbed, and rely on pit privies for sewage disposal. The washeteria is managed by the Lime Village Traditional Council.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
RUBA staff traveled to Lime Village March 9, 2006 to conduct a RUBA assessment. The assessment found that the washeteria was not being managed as a separate enterprise, but was included as part of the tribal operations. It appeared likely that the enterprise was being heavily subsidized from other funds received by the Village Council, but without a budget and separate accounting of washeteria revenues and expenses it was difficult to clarify to what extent that was the case. The community did not meet all RUBA essential management capacity indicators, and the following comments have remained unchanged. Despite written and verbal offers for assistance, there have been no requests or contact with the community.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
RUBA staff is prepared to assist the community with local government or utility management issues, at their request.
Essential Indicators:

Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.
The utility has on hand a year's adequate fuel supply or it has a financial plan to purchase an adequate supply.
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources) sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources sufficient to cover operating expenses and Repair & Replacement (R) costs.
YTD revenues are at a level equal to or above those budgeted.
YTD expenditures are at a level equal to or below those budgeted.
A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comments
A complete and realistic budget for the utility does not exist, nor are budgets and budget amendments regularly adopted by the council. A draft budget was created as part of the business plan. Based on the first four months of operation, this budget is not realistic. It should be compared to actual revenue and expense data, modified where necessary, and adopted by the village council. Currently, expenses for all tribal operations, including the washeteria, are estimated and submitted to the BIA for funding. Throughout the year additional requests including justification are sometimes made, which may or may not be granted. Monthly financial reports showing month and year-to-date expenses and revenues are not prepared, and without reference to a budget, they would be of limited value. Raven Technology Services in McGrath manages the village owned electric system, and reports the village council is always current with electrical billing. While the administrator seemed confident that they have enough fuel on hand, or funds to acquire it, it is unclear if sufficient revenues are being received to cover all operating expenses past the short term. The hourly wage reported is higher than that shown in the expenses requested of BIA, and fuel costs are much higher. In discussing several bank accounts used by village council staff, none are dedicated to R/R or Capital Replacement. While it is unknown if funds for these purposes are being accounted for within one of these accounts, it seems unlikely that sufficient funds are available for R/R account funding.
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
There have been no written utility rules or policies adopted by the council, including a collection policy. The public services provided by the utility are set up to operate on a pay as you go basis utilizing tokens, which currently cost $3.00 each. As a result, those services require no regular billing, nor are there past due amounts to track. The utility supplies water to the school and the business plan identifies the school water service as a source of operating revenue, however the business manager for the school district reports that they have not been billed, nor have they paid for water service. The school should be considered a customer and billed regularly by the utility. An accounts receivable system to track payments and a collection policy for the billing clerk and the customer to follow should also be adopted. There is no accounts payable system that tracks outstanding bills or account balances. Council staff report that bills are paid by check as they arrive in the mail. Payroll, withholding, and payroll expense are computed by hand using preprinted forms and tables. A carbon copy receipt book records incoming cash and what it was for, however these revenues are not accounted for and reported in financial reports. A cash disbursement system exists in the form of a ledger which records check number and date, to whom paid, and which of several revenue sources is being charged, as well as the balance. A chart of accounts that categorizes revenues and expenditures is not utilized, nor is there a purchasing system that compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts and documents the approval and purchase. There is, however, an unwritten policy that all expenditures are forwarded to the administrator who obtains approval from the council president before the purchase is made. Bank account reconciliations are reportedly performed monthly, however council staff was unable to provide documentation.
Tax Problems
Essential Indicators
The utility has a system to accurately calculate, track, and report payroll tax liabilities.
The utility is current on filing tax reports.
The utility is current on making tax deposits.
If there are any past due tax liabilities or recorded tax liens, a lien release has been issued or a repayment agreement has been signed and repayments are current.
Tax Problems Comments
The utility manually calculates and tracks payroll taxes, and at the time of the assessment village staff reported that they were current with reporting and deposit requirements. While verifying this information, the IRS indicated that forms 941 for the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2005 had not been filed. Copies of forms 941 supplied by village staff for this assessment did not include the 3rd quarter, but did include one that appeared to be for the 4th quarter. (was dated February 22, 2006) While it may be that the 4th quarter report had not yet been received at the time of the inquiry, the status of the 3rd quarter report is unknown. AK Dept. of Labor reports that they have not received the 4th quarter 05 ESC report.
Personnel System
Essential Indicators
The utility has a posted workers compensation insurance policy in effect.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted and uses a Personnel Policy, which has been reviewed by an attorney, AML or Commerce for topics and language.
The utility has adequate written job descriptions for all positions.
The utility has adopted and follows a written personnel evaluation process that ties the job description to the evaluation.
The utility has an adequate written hiring process.
The utility has personnel folders on every employee that contain at least: I-9, Job Application and Letter of Acceptance.
The utility has a probationary period for new hires that includes orientation, job training/oversight, and evaluations.
The utility provides training opportunities to staff as needed and available.
Personnel System Comments
Council staff reported that currently there is no worker's compensation insurance in place for village employees. Job descriptions for each position have been written, however there are no written personnel policies, nor are performance evaluations, or probationary periods utilized. Copies of past years W-2 forms for all employees are kept in a single folder and reportedly I-9's are kept together in a similar folder, but individual folders for employee's paperwork are not used. There is no written process for hiring employees, however the administrator reports that an unwritten policy requires job opportunities to be posted using the written job descriptions for at least a week, longer if necessary, and that the council reviews and chooses an applicant.
Organizational Management
Essential Indicators
The entity that owns the utility is known; the entity that will operate the utility is set.
The policy making body is active in policy making of the utility.
The policy making body enforces utility policy.
The utility has an adequately trained manager.
The utility has an adequately trained bookkeeper.
The utility has an adequately trained operator or operators.
The utility has adopted the necessary ordinances (or rules and regulations) necessary to give it the authority to operate.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted an organizational chart that reflects the current structure.
The policy making body meets as required.
The utility complies with the open meeting act for all meetings.
Organizational Management Comments
The Lime Village Traditional Council is recognized as the entity that operates the utility and sets utility policy. As a policy making body, however, the council has not adopted any written policies, rules, or regulations which give it authority to operate and provide clear, written direction for its customers and staff. Council staff reports that the council meets about four times per year or more if necessary to settle issues that arise and they resolve issues effectively. The utility manager and bookkeeper are to be commended for their commitment to provide basic management and bookkeeping service for the utility, however, not all essential accounting and managerial functions are employed. Their demonstrated capacity and interest show that training appropriate to their positions would enable them to implement many of the essential accounting and managerial elements now found to be lacking. An organizational chart has not been adopted by the council, although there is one included in the business plan for the washeteria. Council staff reports that the council meets as needed, and that all meetings are posted and open to the public, although they were unfamiliar with the open meeting act. A meeting agenda included with the posting would improve public awareness and encourage participation.
Operation of Utility
Essential Indicators
The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification.
The utility has a preventative maintenance plan developed for the existing sanitation facilities.
Sustainable Indicators
The manager receives a monthly O&M report from the utility operator and routinely "spot checks" the facilities to see that the maintenance items are being completed.
The utility has a safety manual and holds safety meetings.
Utility facilities have not suffered any major problems/outages due to management issues that are unresolved.
The utility is operating at the level of service that was proposed.
The operator provides status reports to the manager on a routine basis.
The utility has completed and distributed its "Consumer Confidence Report".
The utility is not on the "Significant Non-Complier" (SNC) list.
The utility maintains an inventory control list.
The utility maintains a critical spare parts list.
Operation of Utility Comments
The utility operator has been trained as a level 1 Water Treatment Operator, however his certification is no longer current. He reports that efforts are being made to provide him with the necessary training to renew his certification. The utility currently has no preventative maintenance plan, nor a safety plan or critical spare parts list. Often this information is included in the operations manual for the facility, which has yet to be provided to the operator by the contractor. The administrator and utility operator both felt that the utility is operating at the level of service that is expected by community members. There reportedly are no written monthly operator reports, although the operator at times provides to the administrator written documentation of fuel consumed and gives verbal updates regarding the status of the washeterias various components and systems. The high price of flying fuel into the community and the excessive amount of handling to get it to the washeteria are their biggest concerns. Diesel currently costs $5.53 and gasoline is $5.60. The community is not on the SNC list, and according to Doug Zelmer of DEC, the utility will not be required to complete and distribute a CCR until July 1, 2007.

Girl Seated on a Rail Fence
Created while the artist was visiting a friend's country residence in upstate New York, these two drawings evince the immediacy of on-the-spot sketches. Winslow Homer described his rustic subjects with nimble and economical strokes of his pencil that capture the overall impression with minimal detail.
Rural children were a favorite subject for Homer and American audiences in this period. Their popularity was fueled by post–Civil War optimism, as well as nostalgia for pastoral life in the face of rampant industrialization and urbanization.

Observing Constraints and Classification Rules
General Observing Constraints
Every requested observation has multiple observing constraints. Typical observing constraints are:
- the allowable brightest lunar phase
- the allowable smallest moon-to-object angular separation
- the allowable maximum airmass
- the allowable maximum image size (i.e. FWHM at observed wavelength, 'image
- the allowable sky transparency
- for CRIRES, NACO and SINFONI, the Strehl ratio on the reference star.
- for instruments observing in the mid-IR (CRIRES and VISIR), the allowable maximum Precipitable Water Vapour (PWV)
- the allowable twilight constraint that defines the earliest time in minutes with respect to the end of the astronomical twilight when the execution of the OB can be started
- the allowable absolute time window (i.e. for time critical events, multi-epoch monitoring)
- the allowable local sidereal time range (e.g. for ADI observation)
- for VLTI instruments, the availability of the desired baseline
The Observing Constraints are specified by the user at Phase 2 for each Observation Block. Since the execution conditions required by each programme are an important ingredient in the process of building up the Long Term Schedule of an observing semester, and thus determines which programmes can or cannot be scheduled, users are not allowed to specify at Phase 2 constraints that are more strict than those specified in the original proposal. Users can however relax the constraints during the submission of their Phase 2 material. The values in the OB constraint sets that are selected (and approved) during Phase 2 preparation (and review) cannot be changed later during the observing period.
General Classification Rules
Quality Control of OBs executed in Service Mode will be based on the user's specified constraints for airmass, atmospheric transparency, seeing (i.e. image quality), moon constraints, as well as Strehl ratio for Adaptive Optics mode observations.
Note: the seeing constraint as defined in the OB is judged against the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a point source in the resulting image (or spectral image), i.e. at the observed wavelength, for most of the VLT instruments (i.e. it is the image quality).

Lamborghini unveils facelifted Gallardo
Meet the new LP560-4 and its lightweight brother, the Edizione Tecnica. So many triangles…
Posted: 12 Nov 2012
What Lambo's done is take a Gallardo - one of its most successful cars, with more than 13,000 leaving the Sant'Agata factory - and made it... triangley. But seeing as you're equipped with eyes and a brain, you'll have your own opinion on whether this facelift's uglier or prettier than its predecessor. And whether or not facelifting it at all was a pointless exercise. But, in the most literal sense, that's clearly not the case.
The new front end now wears an anglegasm of triangular and trapezoidal forms, which the manufacturer describes as "highly typical of the Lamborghini design language". Overall, the new look's broader and more fighty with larger air intakes in front, fresh 19-inch rims, and a brand-spanking bottom with a wider air outlet for better thermodynamics.
Bolt-on options only involve a "Style Package" thus far. You get high-gloss black paintwork on the underside of the front spoiler, front and rear grilles and the rear trim bit that stretches across the rear. Not gaudy enough? Lambo's "Ad Personam" personalisation program lets you run wild with other shades (and your bank balance) inside and out.
Not a fan? Well how d'you like these apples - the black one's called the Gallardo LP 570-4 Edizione Tecnica and it's a new 1340kg lightweight special (power to mass has been whittled down to 420bhp per tonne, 53bhp more than standard). There's extra spec, a chuff-off great big spoiler and squeaky carbon-ceramic brakes.
You can choose from three new colour combos, where the roof arch and front air intakes are painted in a contrasting hue. You can have a Nero Nemesis (matt black) body with Arancio Argos (orange) pillars and front air intakes, Bianco Canopus (matt white) body with Arancio Argos pillars and front air intakes, and Arancio Argos body with Nero Nemesis pillars and front air intakes.
Sadly, though, neither of them have been touched by the engineers - the 543bhp, 5.2-litre, 398lb ft V10 remains, as do the two and four-wheel drive setups.
So, in total, that's three noses and tails now, on the 4WD, 2WD and Superleggera. So far only the Superleggera has had its own look, but Lambo wants to differentiate the LP560-4 and Edizione Tecnica - apparently, the two-wheel driver has been eating into four-wheel drive sales so this little effort should bring the four-wheel drive cars back into the limelight. Sales start... NOW.

Good news! The new Mini John Cooper Works will be unveiled at the Detroit Show in January!
New Mini JCW revealed
Mini shows off the hottest version of its MkIII hatch. But it's just a concept... for now
Bad news! It'll only be a concept. But not for long, we'd assume - we've already seen the Cooper and Cooper S variants of the MkII 'New Mini', so the production version of this yet-hotter JCW won't be far behind.
So what do we know about the new JCW? Not, at the moment, a whole lot. As you can see, it gets a yet-bigger chin than even the Cooper S, with an extra set of air intakes lurking where the foglights sit on the standard car, along with smart 18-inch five-spoke alloys and much stickerage.
Mini says the sports exhaust gets a JCW silencer system (which, if past form is anything to go by, will be anything but silent), and promises an 'unmistakable engine soundtrack'.
There's no official word on the JCW's power output, but with the new Cooper S making 189bhp from its 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol, we'd expect it to get a bumped-up version of the same engine developing something in the region of 210bhp.
That should be good for a 0-62mph time around 6.5 seconds, and a top speed close to 150mph. The MkII Mini, remember, is virtually all-new, and Mini says the longer wheelbase and wider track will improve the JCW's handling. Not that there was much wrong with the way it changed direction before, though we'd welcome a bit more travel in that multilink suspension.
We'll find out more about the JCW concept at the Detroit show in January. So, assuming it reaches production (which it will), here's the big question: this, or our newly crowned Car Of The Year, the Ford Fiesta ST?

Once On This Island Junior is a Caribbean adaptation of the popular Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" featuring a poignant story and catchy, Caribbean flavored score. This is the story of Ti Moune, a peasant girl who rescues and falls in love with Daniel, a young man from a wealthy family. When Daniel is returned to his people, the gods who rule the island guide Ti Moune on a quest to test the strength of her love against the powerful forces of prejudice, hatred and death. Told in a presentational style reminiscent of story theatre, it is equally effective regardless of its cast size and features minimal - though colorful - sets and costumes that capture the imagination of the audience. Creative dance or movement-driven staging is also part of the show's style, calling upon performers to portray trees, wild animals and even a fierce rainstorm.

UFC Women's 135-Pound Roster at 10, Five More on the Way | MMAWeekly.com
They already have 10 other women under contract, including a TUF 17 Finale match-up between Miesha Tate and Cat Zingano, and two other announced signees: Sara McMann and Alexis Davis.
That leaves four women under contract that the promotion has yet to name.
UFC president Dana White on Friday said that they arent stopping at 10 either.
The 135-pound division is stacked with talent, he commented. We already signed 10 girls; were signing five more.
He, of course, didnt reveal who those five more are either, but considering that Invicta FC has a strong working relationship with the UFC, it wouldnt be surprising to see more fighters from that promotion making the jump to the Octagon.
White still held off on talks of adding any other womens weight classes, preferring to stay focused on the 135-pounders for right now.
We put this fight together, this fight is looking really good, said White.
Over the next year, what were gonna be doing is building this 135-pound division. Im gonna have 15 new fighters in here that we need to introduce to the world.
Sarah Kaufman: Im on loan from the UFC to Invicta
Exclusive | Sarah Kaufman: "I'm on loan from the UFC to Invicta" | UFC News MMA News | Mixed Martial Arts | UFC News | BJPenn | MMA Fight | UFC Fights
On April 5, Kaufman makes her debut for the Invicta Fighting Championship against rising star Leslie Smith. She is under contract with ZUFFA but explained to us exclusively on BJPenn.com Radio that she is able to fight for both organizations.
I dont know how long [the UFC will allow female fighters to fight for Invicta] and it depends on how the UFCs womens division goes but Shannon Knapp has a great relationship with both Dana White and Sean Shelby. Im on loan from the UFC to Invicta right now, Kaufman told BJPenn.com Radio.
ZUFFA has first rights so they can say yes or no [to someone fighting in Invicta] for you but they are giving permission. Its a great relationship to be able to work for both in case one or the other doesnt have a fight for you at that time so you dont have to wait for a fight for too long.
Before she steps back in the cage, Kaufman will watch her WMMA comrades make history Saturday night in what she believes will be an epic clash. She doesnt mind that the UFC is putting most of their attention on Rousey but she is also confident that the division will quickly become less about Rousey and more about the depth of talent.
Its a huge moment for females in the sport and I do have a little bit of jealousy that I am not in that first spot of course but overall its an incredible thing. To go from five years ago to where we are now is amazing. Theyre really pushing Ronda Rousey and I want to congratulate Liz Carmouche for getting this opportunity, Kaufman said.
The fact that they are also announcing more female fights and signing other fighters is a very positive sign while they go through a trial period to see how the fans react. Im 100% sure that fans are going to love to see the females fighting in the UFC. We all come to fight and maybe this is bringing out our cattiness but we want to prove everyone wrong and that we do deserve to be here, even though weve already proven it more than enough at this point.
With all of the promotional buildup and marketing being centered on Rousey, some fans are worried on what the aftermath will be if Carmouche upsets her and takes the belt. UFC President Dana White has said on multiple occasions that this is the Ronda Rousey show and even though it seems his stance on WMMA has changed, there is a concern that the UFC might remove the division without Rousey as the frontrunner. Kaufman realizes that anything is possible in this sport but doesnt think fans should worry. Womens MMA is here to stay regardless of whether Rousey has the gold or not.
I definitely think there is a possibility that ZUFFA and the UFC will [disband the womens division if Ronda loses] but I know that Joe Silva and Sean Shelby are super supportive of the females. Dana White has come along too and has noticed that there are all of these talented females all over the world that are ready to fight, Kaufman said.
Regardless of the outcome it will be an exciting fight and whether Ronda wins or loses shes still going to have that publicity behind her and still market her and give her a rematch if she does lose. I believe that were still going to be around, no problem.

Clark, Beachum serving up smilesDecember 17, 2012 by Teresa Varley
If there is one thing Ryan Clark loves to do it is make people smile. He has an impeccable knack for bringing joy to those around him, making it impossible not to laugh even if you are feeling down.
On Monday night, Clark brought his bubbly personality to women definitely in need of a little holiday cheer when he and teammate Kelvin Beachum served a holiday dinner to those at the Women's Center and Shelter of Pittsburgh, a shelter that serves women and children affected by the horror that is domestic violence.
Clark first visited the shelter a few years ago with former teammate William Gay, whose mother lost her life to domestic violence. When Gay left via free agency, Clark promised he would continue the commitment to the shelter and he hasn't let them down.
"I can never put myself in their shoes, but to see how much Will cared and know he had a tragedy with his mother and seeing the effort he put in, it's a blessing to be able to come here and do that now," said Clark, who was also joined by his wife Yonka and their three children. "It's about lifting someone up during the holiday season when they are going through a tough time.
"Domestic violence is so real. A lot of times it escalates to more than someone putting their hand on someone. What is missed and what I see here is so many kids are affected. These women have children that they have to bring here. To come here and get the word out and do something for them, it's a reality that is going on in the world."
Clark and Beachum joked with the ladies, giving one who is a Ravens fan a playfully tough time, and just making them feel special and cared for.
"To be able to put a smile on their faces is priceless," said Beachum. "To play with the kids and have a conversation with them is awesome.
"I haven't had to personally deal with domestic violence, but have friends who had. To see there is a place women can go and seek help and we can contribute and be of help is wonderful."
After dinner the players signed autographs for everyone and shared more hugs, smiles and laughs.
"The holidays can be a difficult time being separated from your family, out of your home and in a situation where you are living with a bunch of strangers," said Barb Nicholas, the shelter's Development Director. "To have the attention of celebrities like athletes to come forward and spend their time is so extra special. It means a lot that they show they are thinking about the people here and caring about them. They understand the courage it took the women to come here and seek help.
"This is the most special day of the year for the shelter residents."

Protection Against Weathering
You can't completely stop or reverse the weathering of exterior wood, but you can slow the process dramatically by using the right type of finish.
There are two basic types of finishes used to protect wood surfaces from weathering – those that form a film or coating on the wood and those that penetrate the wood surface and leave no distinct layer. Film-forming materials include paints and varnishes. Penetrating finishes include water repellents, preservatives and pigmented semitransparent stains.
When selecting an exterior finish, consider appearance, durability, cost, surface type, ease of application, and maintenance.
Of all finishes, paints provide the most protection for wood against ultraviolet degradation and simple erosion. A painted surface retards the penetration of exterior moisture, blocks out damaging ultraviolet rays, and seals into the wood the natural resins and other oils that can otherwise be weathered out.
It's generally accepted today that a good acrylic latex exterior house paint will perform as well as or even outlast a good oil-base house paint. The fact that latex paints are more porous and can breath slightly – while still shedding water – may contribute to their longevity. In addition, oil-base paints tend to become brittle while latex paints retain their flexibility.
In general, painting is best done on a fairly smooth and stable surface, such as low-density, vertical-grain and edge-grain woods that resist shrinking and swelling.
What makes clear varnish finishes popular is that they accent and enhance the grain and color of the wood surface. Unfortunately, all types of varnishes – oil-base, alkyd, urethane and acrylic – require frequent maintenance. Ultraviolet light from the sun eventually breaks down the varnish. To avoid frequent scraping and recoating, the best approach to using varnish for exterior surfaces is to provide reliable shade, such as recessed openings, roofs and overhangs.
Penetrating Finishes
Penetrating finishes are designed to be absorbed into the wood, saturating the surface fibers and partially or completely filling the surface pores. Many finishes contain water repellents and wood preservatives. The preservatives control the growth of mildew and other fungi, and some even discourage insect infestation.
When inorganic pigments are added to clear penetrating finishes, the mixture is classified as a semitransparent penetrating stain. The pigment in the stain greatly increases the durability of the finish by absorbing much of the ultraviolet light. However, it's the total mix of pigment, resin, preservative and water repellent that ultimately determines the durability of any stain system.
The protective qualities of penetrating stains are best used on rough-sawn, weathered or coarse-textured woods – the very type of surface that won't take paint well, including siding, trim, exposed decking, fences and roof shingles.
Creating a Weathered Look
Timeworn, aged, lived in, rustic, natural, nostalgic, antique. All descriptors conjured up by the look of weathered wood. If you prefer a rough, gray and weathered look for your exterior, like the kind provided by Mother Nature, it can be obtained in two ways.
- You can do nothing until the wood turns gray, then treat it regularly with a water-repellent preservative or a gray semitransparent stain to extend the life of the wood.
- If you want to obtain a weathered look immediately, apply a gray stain; as the stain weathers, the wood will turn gray naturally. Be sure, however, to continue to protect the finish with a stain or water-repellent preservative.
