On Monday afternoon, July 28, I met with 911 Director Steve Jones to watch one of the three new communications towers being installed on Ward Lane, which is off Hwy. 141, near Westside. The director and I talked for a while as he explained this part of the $3,058,970 Disaster Recovery Grant Macon County received following the 2008 tornado.
"In the last few years the radios have gotten crowded and emergency departments are not getting as good of a signal as they use to," said 911 Director Steve Jones. "The emergency services - law enforcement, fire & rescue, and ambulances - have lost coverage and are having a lot of interference with the radio systems." Jones said last year the FCC required everyone to do what is called narrow banding. "That cuts the modulation that they are providing in half and that even created another 10 to 15 percent loss in signals," said Jones. "So with this disaster grant we got, we went to all the emergency departments and one of the biggest things everybody wanted was better communications."
"Currently all of our communication antennas are scattered around on the water tanks and there is so many of them together on the tanks that we are having alot of interference issues. So what we are going to be doing is going to a new technology where we can combine those radio systems into one type of antenna system on three 280 foot towers located in RBS, Lafayette and this one at Westside and we will be able to cover the whole county."
They started construction on the tower at Ward Lane Monday morning and it was stacked by the afternoon, with safety lighting put on it for aviation.
"The towers are costing about 1.3 million dollars and we are spending about 1.5 million altogether in communication upgrades," said Jones, "so emergency personnel can talk from anywhere in the county without any problems."
The next phase is the licensing process says Jones and that means getting all licenses transferred to the towers. "Then we will be putting new base radio repeaters systems in what they call a Simulcast Radio System. Right now we have receivers on each side of the county that can receive a signal but sometimes the law officers or EMS can't hear back. So what we are doing now is putting a transmitter and receiver on each side of the county and in the middle, so it is called Simulcast."
Jones says the radio system will be what is called a digtal radio system in the future and that is what everybody is going to. "We will be working for a while with both the old and new systems until we get all the bugs out of it."
"We hope to be operational by the first of the year and we will have to bid out the radio equipment," he said. "The reason we haven't done that yet, is we are waiting to see how much the final cost of the towers will be because you always have adjustments to make. The radio equipment and transmitters & receivers will go in the building on site at each tower that ties together. NCTC is tieing that together for us with fiber optics, which will result in all three towers and our dispatch tied together."
911 Director Jones says he is proud to be getting this new system in Macon County and he said it is something they had thought about for years. "We never thought of getting a grant."
"When everything is completed it will provide much better communications between the emergency services," concluded Jones.
Recently at the Wilson County Republican Party Reagan Day dinner, Republican State Senate candidate Clark Boyd picked up the endorsement of State Rep Susan Lynn, and US Congressman Diane Black.
"I endorse Clark Boyd for state Senate in the 17th district because Clark is a true conservative who is very intelligent, approachable, and responsive to people's needs; he has a pleasant and friendly nature arising from his strong Christian faith." stated state Representative Susan Lynn. Lynn continued, "I have seen Clark in action and Clark makes me very proud. Clark will provide the representation that not only Macon County deserves but the entire 17th District. In fact, Macon County voters should know that the entire 17th district is looking to Macon County, and counting on the voters of Macon County to help us provide strong support Clark Bode for state Senate. I know Clark Boyd – and I know that Macon County will be proud to call Clark Boyd their state Senator."
Congressman Black also shared her opinion about Boyd's ability to serve the 17th District.
"Families in Macon County deserve an effective, trusted voice in the state senate," said Congressman Diane Black. "As a business owner, National Guard veteran, NRA member, and former chairman of his local Republican Party, I know that we can count on Clark to deliver the conservative leadership this district needs and I am proud to give him my full support."
Boyd is running for the State Senate in the 17th District which encompasses Wilson, Macon, Clay, Cannon, Dekalb, and Smith counties.

Over 400 Macon County residents voted on the opening day of early voting for the State Primary and County General Election last Friday, July 18.
According to Macon County Election Commissioner Barry Doss, 334 votes were cast on the opening day of the last county general election in 2010.
As of press time, a total of 618 early votes have been tallied for the August 7, 2014 State Primary & County General Election.
A breakdown by day is as follows:
Doss would like to remind everyone that early voting ends on Saturday, August 2, and to ask for assistance if you have any problems while voting.
"When voting, if you don't see the name of a candidate you want to vote for, ask for help," Doss stated. "Don't push the red button until you've voted for who you want to vote for. Once you punch the red button, your vote is final."

Fleet Foxes
Helplessness Blues
Sub Pop/Bella Union
Artists are often unmanned by achieving colossal critical and popular success on their first throw, and in that regard Fleet Foxes are unexceptional.
After the Seattle band's 2008 self-titled debut became a kind of instant classic, it toured much longer than it had expected to; it also toiled divisively on its follow-up.
Yet here is "Helplessness Blues," and it's not a disaster. Like its predecessor, it treats the entire history of folk music, from ancient traditional ballads to coffeehouse open-mic nights, as if it were a single vast painted canvas that Fleet Foxes can redecorate at intense whim and fevered leisure.
Redecorate they do, with familiar borrowings from Led Zeppelin, the Beach Boys, Neil Young and others, but even when they freak out on the stairway to heaven with "The Shrine/An Argument" or strum and croon like a squadron of Dylan-Garfunkel hybrids on the title track, they impart a sense of reflective humility.
Fleet Foxes seem to blush as they pour out beauty, as if they can't help it. It's hard to help adoring them for that beauty and blush.

The Smithereens
The Smithereens 2011
Entertainment One
It's "The Smithereens 2011," but it could easily be mistaken for "The Smithereens 1986," which is when the New Jersey quartet began scoring unlikely hits such as "Blood and Roses" and "Only a Memory" with its British Invasion-inspired rock. And that's a compliment.
On their first album of new material in 12 years, the Smithereens work again with their old producer Don Dixon and underscore just how timeless their sound is. It's still never sunny in the world of singer Pat DiNizio, but if he's not always being defiant - "I'd like to say I'm sorry, but I won't," he declares on the standout opening track - he never comes across as a mope, either.
That's because he and his bandmates still blend a Beatlesque melodic touch - complete with harmonizing vocals - with the crunchier, hard-rock edge of the Kinks or the Who.
It's an approach that, even on the slower numbers on this briskly paced 13-song set, still packs quite a punch.

Ray Davies
See My Friends
A decade ago, a traditional Kinks tribute album came out with bands such as Fountains of Wayne and Yo La Tengo performing the songs of the seminal British band.
"See My Friends" takes the converse approach, with King Kink Ray Davies reinterpreting his songs with the help of artists from Metallica to Lucinda Williams. The result is an uneven but often inspired collection.
The first song recorded for this project was "Till the End of the Day," with Davies collaborating with a notably enthusiastic Alex Chilton. The track was made in 2009, eight months before Chilton's death.
The album leads off with Bruce Springsteen doing a duet with Davies on "Better Things." The arrangement has a nice E Street jangle to it, but neither singer seems to have been in good voice for this session.
Ironically, the least showy efforts stand out; for instance, Black Francis on "This Is Where I Belong" and Jackson Browne on "Waterloo Sunset."
The most transformative track here is Mumford & Sons' sweet mashup of "Days" and "This Time Tomorrow." They make these Kinks classics their own.

Robinson said it's great when individuals or groups try to educate about human differences on their own, but it works even better when they work together and think together, which is exactly what this expo is supposed to do. Using it as a platform for more change down the line, Robinson said the committee wants to play some type of role in helping students discover who they are outside a classroom.
"There's always existing tensions of young people coming to terms with who they are. We have a growing population of Shen people who are having identity issues, trying to figure out how they fit into the larger scheme of things; how do they define themselves by images," said Robinson. "Those things we see and notice as part of reality are also part of our vibrant community and school district and we want to play a positive role in that type of evolution. Helping students evolve as people and also helping us as a community to evolve with the times."
At the SHENSATIONAL Global Expo, a series of workshops, discussions, presentations and booths are scheduled for specific time slots throughout the day. One of the highlights is a talk by John Robinson, director of corporate support at WMHT. He's a multiple congenital amputee born without full development of his arms and legs who wrote the book "Get Off Your Knees" and was the subject of a highly acclaimed documentary produced by the network. He brings the message of overcoming obstacles and said if he touches at least one person, he has served a purpose.
"I'm an example of a person with diversity and it's exciting to share my story in hopes that whoever is out there listening can get something out of it," said John Robinson.
He said he talks about growing up physically disabled and the challenges that came with it. He focuses some time on what it was like going through a private high school, which gave him a small environment and allowed him to focus on what he needed to focus on, like schoolwork and himself as a person. He went on to attend a bigger college which he said was good to challenge himself and face the real world.

Analysis identifies Houston's most dangerous dogs
70% of 12,000 bites by animals in the city were unprovoked, with children most often targeted

Swisher, a male pit bull, is one of several dogs in the quarantine area at BARC's shelter in Houston. Animals involved in attacks are held for 10 days to determine if they have rabies and prevent the spreading of the disease.

Rhonda Ayala says she and her son Ryan consider Bandit "a good dog," despite the attacks that put the pit bull into quarantine twice. "I just didn't train him when we first got him … He's just a puppy in a big body."

Warning signs posted on Rhonda Ayala's fence testify to her pit bull's status as one of the most dangerous dogs in Houston. Cited twice after attacks, Bandit has to wear a special collar tag and be insured for $100,000 against another offense.

Dog safety tips
Animal control officials offer this "do not" advice:
Leave a child alone with a dog.
Run from a dog.
Scream, make frantic gestures.
Pet, tease or startle a dog.
Approach a strange dog, especially if puppies are present.
Touch a sleeping dog.
Violate a dog's "territory" or cause it to feel cornered.
Chase dogs.
Bother a dog when eating or meeting another dog.
Get between a dog and its owner.
Turn your back on a dog or allow it to get behind you.
Challenge a strange dog.
Break up a fight with your hands; use a hose, broom, or other long object to separate them.

Bandit is one of the most dangerous dogs in Houston. The sign on his house declares it; a special license confirms it - as does a "Dangerous Dog" collar tag and a shoulder-embedded microchip that details his perilous history.
His confrontations - one that caused serious injuries to a girl's face and another to a woman's arm - are just two among 12,000 animal bites and attacks recorded across Houston between 2006 and 2011, according to a Houston Chronicle analysis of data from city animal control records.
Only five dogs in Houston are on the dangerous dog list: three, like Bandit, are pit bulls or terrier mixes; one is a Chihuahua mix; and the other is a Mastiff mix. Many others have been put down by their owners after repeated problems or particularly vicious attacks.
The Chronicle's analysis of city records shows other breeds of dogs most frequently involved in attacks are Chihuahuas, Rottweilers, chow chows, German shepherds, boxers, Labrador retrievers and Belgian Malinois.
Though the Chronicle's review of data from the Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care (BARC) examined only those incidents in the city of Houston, the attacks happen everywhere and every day across the region.
Just Monday, a missing 4-year-old boy was found dead in Victoria; the preliminary autopsy report indicated the cause of death was a canine mauling. Kylar Johnson, left unsupervised, supposedly wandered away from his home and was discovered by a neighbor in a fenced-in yard filled with pit bulls.
In Friendswood on Wednesday, two dogs escaped from their yard and attacked a 10-year-old girl, biting her legs and torso. A neighbor came to her aid and chased the dogs away.
Most victims are young
Most of the time, the victims are children. And in 70 percent of all the cases, the attack was not provoked.
"I should have been more aware of pit bull actions," said Rhonda Ayala, who owns Bandit. "Now I just do whatever I can to keep him legal."
Ironically, Bandit was sitting in line at the Humane Society waiting to get vaccinated when he lunged at a 7-year-old girl two years ago.
"Out of the blue, that dog went from sitting position to snapping in an instant," said Synthia Muniz, the girl's mother. The wound to her nose required surgery.
Children especially are easy targets, animal control officers say, because they don't often know how to behave with animals. They point, pat, scream and giggle at dogs, which excites or aggravates the animal. Children are also small, easier for animals to attack.
"Kids should never be left alone with dogs," said Jarrad Mears, an animal control supervisor.
Just as crucial, experts say, dogs should never be allowed to roam outside their own property. And, they add, it is the owner's responsibility to properly train or keep their animals away from others.
Cats across Houston do their share of biting and scratching, as well. In fact, of the top 10 animal breeds involved in attacks, domesticated short-hair and medium-hair felines are on the list.
Skunks can bite, too
"Although cats don't run after people, chase or attack them, cat bites can be really serious, said Chris Glaser, the city's animal control supervisor. "Cats have bacteria in their mouth so that can be infectious, especially if it went untreated."
Of the 12,000 bites recorded by Houston, more than 2,000 were the result of encounters with wild, undomesticated or stray animals, including, skunks, raccoons, squirrels and coyotes, the records show. Though they are rare, the city also gets reports on foxes, bears, wolves, leopards and snakes.
After a bite or scratch, all animals, if caught, are quarantined for 10 days and required to be checked for rabies at the owners' expense.
Insurance can be costly
A dog like Bandit is deemed dangerous in a hearing after the city legal department examines the circumstances of the attack and the severity of the injuries.
If the pet owners decide to keep the dog, they are required to give it a tag that labels it as dangerous and to obtain special insurance that covers at least $100,000 damage if another attack occurs.
Ayala says she has spent thousands of dollars to keep Bandit.
"He has been though a lot with me," she said. "He's my baby. He is not a mean dog, but just tries to protect me."
Animal experts say some owners intentionally raise their pets to be aggressive, while others just don't take the necessary safety measures.
"If the owners train their dogs properly and confine them properly and care for them, it all ties in. The reason why you have dogs bite somebody is the owners allow their dogs to run loose," said Glaser.
Fines and citations
In the last two years, nearly 2,500 pet owners were fined for not keeping their pets leashed or confined to their home or yard.
Lisa Key's 10-year-old son, Jaylen, was bitten by a neighbor's pit bull last year. Jaylen was playing with his brother in the front yard when a white-and-tan pit bull, running loose, bit into his waist on both sides.
The dog was deemed dangerous and put to sleep.
In addition, 4,500 owners were cited for not vaccinating their pets, and 5,000 were fined for never licensing them.

36 year old woman | Falmouth, VA, USA | Seeking men 34-42 within 25 miles of Woodford, VA
Active within 5 days
If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.
First and foremost, I am a mother. I'm loyal, trustworthy, faithful, honest, affectionate, and loving. I believe in romance, and I believe in love. I'm looking for a new friend that could turn into a long term relationship. I love dining out, grilling out, or just staying at home with take out and a movie. I love to cook, and have friends and family over. I love camping. There's just something about snuggling in a tent in the middle of nowhere. I can take a cold beer at a hole in the wall bar, or a quiet evening on the couch with a glass of Moscato. I'm not into clubs, but I do like to go out and shake my booty once in awhile. I love going to wine tastings and wine festivals. I enjoy the outdoors, going to the beach, and football. Go Steelers! I'm looking for someone who is educated and can carry on a decent conversation in regards to world events, society, politics, etc. I think it's important to be best friends as well as lovers. I enjoy kickboxing 6 days a week, and try to maintain a somewhat healthy diet. I can just as easily do a t-shirt and ponytail for a day in the mountains as I can a little black dress for a night on the town. I love to cuddle. I do not have and do not want any drama. I'm independent, and have been on my own for quite awhile. I work hard for what I have, I take care of my responsibilities, and look for someone that does the same. I'd like someone who is ready for a real relationship, and can commit to an equal partnership. I believe that in order to be happy in a relationship, you must first be happy with yourself, and sometimes that means having time alone. I'm passionate and intense, and I like to show affection. I want someone that is not afraid to hold my hand in public, or kiss me in front of his friends. I have a fabulous job that I love, the greatest kid on the planet, and I own my own home. I'm not looking for a free ride, nor do I need someone to take care of me. I am perfectly content being single, but would like to have someone to cuddle up with at night and to share this wonderful life with.

Originally written on Total Titans | Last updated 5/7/13
Next up on my series of somewhat more in depth profiles of the 2013 Titans draft class is their fourth round pick, Cal center Brian Schwenke. I think I've said this before, but at center there are two big distinctions. First, a center's job is to snap to ball and, for most teams, to make the line calls. Do the coaches have confidence in his ability to do these two things? If yes, then you can go on to the other questions. If not, then the player is a guard rather than a center. 2012 was Schwenke's first year at center after playing at guard his first three seasons, and his inexperience at the position was apparent early in his shotgun snaps. Too many of them were low in Cal's early season game against Ohio State. Per scouting reports, that was something he improved at as the season wore on, and improved technique work at the NFL level should continue to improve. Still, I'll be keeping my eye on it going forward. At the same time, according to draft analyst Eric Stoner, the Titan...

On Matisse: Talk by Hilary Spurling

AboutIn the summer of 1943 when Allied armies invaded France, Matisse found himself in a war zone, desperately ill, unable to stand, too weak to flee, with German troops billeted in his basement and British shells landing in the garden. His response was to pick up a pair of scissors and cut an image out of paper. It was the first of a tidal flood that invaded his walls in wave after wave of fruit and foliage, birds, fish, shells, seaweed, acrobats, dancers and swimmers. This is installation art so interactive, fluid and responsive that Picasso was shocked by its modernity. Most other contemporaries thought Matisse had lost his mind. He himself said his work would speak to the future. The cutouts of Matisse's last decade blaze with colour, light and energy. He was bedridden when he made them, often battling to survive, always in pain, at times threatened by blindness. His assistants felt he was running a race with death. Hilary Spurling, whose biography of Matisse won the Whitbread (Costa) Book of the Year award, relives the artist's last race with death. This event is related to the exhibition Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs

How to Make Your Own Sprinkles at Home
Today on The Daily Meal
Recipe of the day
Most popular Stories
Your cake is in the oven and the buttercream frosting is chilling in the fridge. Now, all of you have to worry about is finding those bottles of sprinkles you bought ages ago… or do you?
See How to Make Your Own Sprinkles at Home
Baking is a process that we all take pride in because it's a labor of love. From sifting the flour to beating in one egg at a time, the patience and diligence it takes to put together a cake, cupcake, cookie, or pie, makes the end result that much better.
For Even More Sprinkles, See Our Gorgeous Guide to Sprinkles
Because we're always proponents for things you can do in the comfort of your own kitchen, we say that you shouldn't just stop at the batter and the frosting when you're baking,
because you can make sprinkles at home, too. With just a few simple ingredien
ts from your pantry and a knack for mixing and matching food coloring, you can have jimmies, dots, or even hearts on hand for decorating. With all of that love and care baking away in the oven, why use store-bought sprinkles to give it some color?

I have a problem in Hexagon, I simply cannot paint any color on my surfaces. I can choose the brush, choose a color and move the brush around on the surface, but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
For example:
- create a sphere
- UV map and unwrap
- create a shading domain (one for the whole object)
- choose paintbrush and a color
- paint
Nothing happens. Why? I also tried to apply a material before painting, but that also does not help.
Thanks for your answers!

Why do I feel so tired if I get more than 11 hours of sleep? My mom says I slept too much. Is this true?
- Anya*
Most teens need between 8½ to more than 9 hours of sleep a night. If you get much more or much less, you may wake up feeling tired and unrefreshed. People who sleep too long also may have trouble falling asleep and wake up a lot during the night.
Some people who still feel tired after getting an adequate amount of sleep have sleep problems and don't realize it. Conditions such as sleep apnea, restless legs, or even depression can make it hard to get a good night's rest. Caffeine and some medications also can disrupt sleep patterns.
If you don't wake up feeling rested on most mornings, or think you might be depressed, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Date of Stay: October, 2014
This park served me well as a one-night stopover. Very convenient to the Kansas Turnpike. Site was easy to maneuver into and hook-ups worked well. Wi-Fi was better than I typically experience at KOA. Restrooms were spotless. I arrived after the office closed, but because I had called ahead all the paperwork and directions to my site were available at "self" check-in. Only downside for me was train noise. I would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: October, 2014
This park made a nice, convenient one-night stopover as I was traveling up I-35. Park grounds are tidy and my site was easy to get in and out of pulling a toad. Site had a bit of a downhill run to it, but did not create a leveling issue. Staff was very friendly. Restroom looked a bit tired and had only one toilet in the men's area. Would definitely consider this park again.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Used this park as a 1-night stopover. Got a discount for paying cash. Pull-through site was easy-in, easy-out, with toad. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2014
Weak WiFi kept this park from scoring a "10" for me. Everything else, from the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff to the cleanliness of the restrooms, was wonderful. The setting is great-- good views of the mountains. My site was level and easy to maneuver into. Hookups were well-placed and worked well. Park was generally quiet. Would definitely stay here again while in the Santa Fe area.
Date of Stay: March, 2014
The nicest RV park in the Big Bend area. Large pull-thru sites with plenty of space between. Driveway and sites are all paved. Staff is very friendly. Musical performances 3 nights a week by the Whitfords added to the enjoyment of my stay. The RV park manager even showed up one evening after music with homemade ice cream for everyone. The only downside for me was the WiFi, which often slowed to a crawl in the evening.
Date of Stay: March, 2014
My visit to this park was for a one-night stopover. Staff was very friendly. At check-in I was given instructions for WiFi, but it would not work from my site. I was able to receive a signal at the office, but was then told that it probably would not reach my site, which was on the perimeter of the park. Had I known that at check-in, I would have asked for a closer site. Also, water pressure seemed very low. Because of these issues, I would probably not stay here again for any length of time.
Date of Stay: November, 2013
Rate reflects daily rate with Good Sam discount. Facility-wise, this is easily the nicest RV park in the area. All roads and sites are paved, which cuts down on the dust. My pull-thru site was long enough for my motorhome and tow vehicle and was level. A concrete "patio" with a picnic table was included. Utilities were well-placed and worked well, including the WiFi. Restrooms and showers were spotless. Also on-site are a nice community room and outdoor swimming pool. Staff was very friendly. I plan to return in the winter for a longer stay.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
Rate reflects a special offer that allowed me to get 3 nights for the price of 2 for a premium back-in space. I ended up here when Mustang Island SP wall full for part of my stay. I was not disappointed at all. All the roads and pads are concrete. My site also had a nice concrete patio. Hook-ups were well-placed, the WiFi worked great and the restrooms were spotless. There is a nice boardwalk to the beach, as well as other amenities. The entire park exudes a very friendly atmosphere. As I frequent the Port Aransas area, this park may be my new "go-to" location
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Although just a quick overnight stay, this was once of my best RV park experiences. I was very impressed with the facilities: large, level pull-through space, exquisite grounds, WiFi that actually worked and a very helpful and friendly staff. The new owner has turned what was a good park on my previous visit, into a great one.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
This "free" park worked out great for me as a 1-night stopover. Park is right off the one of the main thoroughfares, so easy to find and convenient. Site was level with water and 30 amp electric. Perhaps they have 50 amp in other sites, but I did not check. This a very nice (and generous) offering from a friendly West Texas town. Will definitely stop here again if in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
I spent 7 nights at this RV park and used it as a base while exploring Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks. Staff was friendly and helpful, site was level and hook-ups worked fine. This is a busy park. Only negatives for me were traffic noise in the park itself and occasional Wi-Fi outages. Location makes it handy for grocery shopping, restaurants, etc. Would definitely consider staying here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Spent a total of 5 nights at this large, well-run campground. Three nights were dry-camping and two nights were full-hookup. Both areas were fine with me. Dry-camping was back-in site, which required disconnecting toad, which was no problem, since I was using toad to explore the park. Full hook-up site was a pull-through. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would camp there again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
This campground scored well with me because it had all the basics I look for-- reliable Wi-Fi, level site, good hookups and an unobstructed sky for satellite reception. Staff was friendly, restrooms were very clean an of adequate size for the park. A bonus was the cable TV service (more channels than I've ever encountered at an RV park.) Only negative was noise from the main highway into Moab. Would definitely stay here again.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Very nice KOA. Staff was very helpful and my site worked well for my stay. Only issue I had was with the Wi-Fi, which was spotty at best. Staff tried resetting the router for my area, which worked for about a half hour. I believe RV parks that advertise Wi-Fi should have reasonably capable systems. Unfortunately, my experience at KOA's all over this country has been that their Wi-Fi is the weak link.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
Other than the narrow, hard to get into, sites, this is a great RV park. Spotless restrooms, level sites and good WiFi make this a great place to stop overnight. Owner was very friendly. Would definitely consider staying here again

Your garden: learning, helping, sharing
One of my favorite quotations on gardening is, "You don't have a garden just for yourself. You have it to share," by Augusta Carter.
How true this is. We garden for many reasons, including relaxation, beauty, education and food. But the sharing of our passion and the results of our "labor" bring it all home.
Think about it: How many times do we call family and friends to give away our bounty? Sharing veggies, flowers or fruits not only provides a sense of giving and satisfaction, it also provides a sense of pride.
When someone remarks how juicy, red and delicious the tomatoes were that you gave to them, or how beautiful and fragrant the flowers were that you dropped off, there is a feeling that you did something special. And you did.
This past weekend, my wife brought in a large arrangement of various day lilies from her garden. Viewing the beauty of these flowers, she then proceeded to take a picture of the flowers and send a "virtual" bouquet to our daughters in Chicago and in New Jersey. This sharing brought an immediate expression of surprise and pleasure, and, once again, connected loved ones who are separated by time and distance.
Sharing of the harvest from the garden can be a broader, more intentional event.
The Master Gardeners of the Southwestern Indiana Master Gardener Association have a varied array of display gardens just south of the Lloyd Expressway, behind the Boy Scout headquarters on the old state hospital grounds.
The gardeners created these gardens for the enjoyment and education of all in the community. But they also do this work because they have a passion for gardening and they all are benefiting from learning through doing and sharing.
Of special note is the vegetable garden at the site. The team managing this area grows vegetables, harvests them and then donates produce to the food bank.
In 2008, this group donated more than 6,000 pounds of vegetables to the food bank. In 2009, it donated more than 8,000 pounds, in 2010 more than 4,000 pounds, and in 2011 they are projecting at least 6,000 pounds. These vegetables serve the needs of soup kitchens and food pantries in Southern Indiana, Western Kentucky and Southern Illinois.
Education is a big part of gardening and this group has a huge role in sharing. Essentially every year, Larry Caplan, extension horticulture educator, conducts a Master Gardener Volunteer Training class. The next one will begin the week of Sept. 1 and will conclude Dec. 15.
You can call the extension office at 812-435-5287 or go online at www.ag.purdue.edu/counties/vanderburgh/Pages/MasterGardener.aspx. The class is open to all and it is a great way to learn and to begin (or continue) your journey into gardening.
Someone once said "The best things that can come out of a garden are gifts for other people."
The tangible results of our gardening and horticultural endeavors are only a small part of this sharing. Those gifts, whether material or of substance, are gifts not only from us, but to us.

I was going to post something similar. I completely agree, but with at least one caveat, stated below. Generally speaking, science fiction is a part of fantasy, just as fantasy is a part of fiction.
From a marketing perspective, though, bookstores in this country often have separate shelves for the two, SF over here and fantasy next to it over there. To the degree that that sort of thing is done, it might make sense to distinguish the two. Apparently, some people get their feathers ruffled when the books start to intermingle.
I also believe that fiction categories should be formulated descriptively as opposed to prescriptively. There is a corner case of works exemplified by Robin Cook's
that aren't routinely shelved with science fiction either (but which in my opinion are SF).
isn't even shelved with fantasy. It's routinely shelved as general fiction, suspense, or thriller. Now, why is that? Well, besides marketing, also probably because there's very little
science, although it all wraps together into an application of medical science which itself is speculative, fictitious, and culturally relevant, in a cautionary tale (which is why I think it's really science fiction). As to what the caveat is, it is that this sort of work seems to dispense with almost all the so-called fantasy elements, and bridge straight across from science fiction to general fiction.
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CeeCee CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!!! Love this sporty top, and love the price too :) I actually did not notice this top until I found it at the sale price. How did I miss this??? It's so darned cute! I ordered the ivory with pink stripes. Love everything about this top especially the sleeves. I love that the sleeve end comes slightly to a bell shape, so unique! I ordered my usual X-Small. I'm 5'2. It is somewhat fitted on me so I'll have to be careful that I don't shrink this in the wash. The length hits me like the model so I like that. The tiger? wolverine? and stars is super cool. This is a great hangout tee and a very, very good buy! 9.8.2013
