It's time to step up and be a counter – a butterfly counter, that is.
University of Louisville biology professor emeritus Charles Covell will join with other butterfly specialists to lead the butterfly count expedition Saturday at UofL's Horner Wildlife Sanctuary in Oldham County.
Since the group started this survey in 1976, 70 butterfly species and more than 26,000 individual butterflies have been recorded, according to Covell.
Local residents may be able to drive golf carts on public roadways in Oldham County despite safety concerns after all.
After a 7-to-1 vote by members of the Oldham County Fiscal Court June 15, a red light was issued concerning a proposed ordinance to permit the use of golf carts on public roadways in Oldham County.
But not so fast.
Fourth District Magistrate Steve Greenwell said the Kentucky General Assembly recently revised the original golf cart ordinance and the court will discuss it at the July 7 fiscal court meeting.
The La Grange City Council will host a discussion and public comment on the crossing modifications/closings/quiet zone for CSX at the council's July meeting. The council will meet at 6:30 p.m. July 6 in the fiscal court courtroom.
An Oldham County grand jury recently handed up the following indictments:
• Brandon Meredith, 19, indicted on charges of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance and trafficking in a controlled substance within 1,000 yards of a school.
According to the indictment, on Aug. 22, he allegedly possessed with intent to sell methadone. On Aug. 21, he allegedly possessed with intent to sell Alprazolam within 1,000 yards of a school.
New laws approved during the Kentucky General Assembly's 2009 regular session go into effect today (Thursday).
That means home health agencies in Kentucky will soon be required to conduct criminal background checks on employees, sex offenders will be banned from Facebook, and flags purchased by state and local governments must be made in the U.S.A.
The Huntington Learning Center in Crestwood recently began its summer reading program, "Fun in the Sun."
Shelbyville Police have arrested the man they believe is responsible for numerous recent break-ins at businesses in Henry, Spencer, Oldham, Jefferson, Shelby, Nelson and surrounding counties. Robert Eugene Weathers, 40, of Springfield, was arrested Wednesday and could be charged with perhaps 30 burglaries in a six-county area. Weathers is on parole after being convicted in a similar spree of crimes in Nelson County six years ago, and police appear convinced he is responsible for the break-ins and thefts that hit 15 businesse
Members of the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Oldham County Economic Development Authority Board of Directors have approved the concept of a merger of the two agencies and will be working on a transition plan.
Deana Epperly Karem, executive director of the chamber and interim director of OCEDA, said during the next 90 – 180 days, a transition committee will examine issues regarding the new organization's legal, financial, staffing and overall structure.
Oldham County government will support several local charities and non-profit organizations, officials announced earlier this month.
Members of Oldham fiscal court voted to award various donations to Home of the Innocents, Tri-County Community Action Agency, Discover Downtown La Grange, the Arts Association of Oldham County, Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children, Oldham County Fair Association and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Donation amounts for each group range from $1,000 to $10,000. The total amount awarded to the groups for 2010 is $25,000.
Tucked among rolling hills and black fences is a place most Oldham residents probably don't know about — Highpointe Training Center, one of many local players in an industry that seems far away.

Radical Romanticism
Franz Liszt (1811-1886) once said, "My sole ambition as a composer is to hurl my javelin into the infinite space of the future." Indeed, though as both performer and composer he was one of the potent forces of Romanticism, Liszt's impact on modernism—on composers such as Ravel, Scriabin and Schönberg—was considerable. Ferruccio Busoni proclaimed, "We are all descended from him radically."
From the outset of his career, Liszt was considered the greatest of all pianists. But his road to victory as a composer has been rocky. Today, his Sonata in B Minor is acclaimed as one of the greatest achievements of the Romantic age and one of the chief glories of all piano literature. Yet because of its radical inventiveness it took decades to become entrenched in the repertoire. It is seldom realized that each musical score stands isolated and must find its interpreters.
Always an avid experimenter, Liszt wanted to create a new chapter in the history of the sonata form. There would be no title indicating story or mood as he had employed elsewhere. Here was pure, absolute, "abstract" music. Nor was there to be the standard division into separate movements. Instead, Liszt's ideas unfold over a single, unbroken body of music lasting some 30 minutes.
On the first page, he presents three of the five pregnant motifs of the work, and for them he develops his technique of "thematic transformation." In every measure, every particle of these themes is transformed from this sparse material. Playing through the work one follows Liszt's brain at fever pitch. It is music of drastic intellectuality, clothed in a Dantesque drama.
Looking within the sonata's mighty inner conflicts, one finds the most daring structural innovation in large-form composition since Beethoven. Claudio Arrau called it Beethoven's 33rd sonata, probably meaning that had Beethoven lived, he would have eventually fused all elements of sonata form into a one-movement plan.
The eminent Liszt scholar and biographer Alan Walker has written: "Not only are its four movements rolled into one, but they are themselves composed against a background of a full-scale sonata scheme—exposition, development, and recapitulation. That is, Liszt has composed a sonata across a sonata.... the material is constantly making contributions to two sonata forms simultaneously." This immense experiment in form was unprecedented. Liszt had achieved his goal of living in the rarefied zone of Beethoven himself.
Liszt's manuscript (today housed in the Morgan Library & Museum in New York) says he completed the sonata on Feb. 2, 1853. The sonata was published in 1854 and Liszt, wanting to dedicate it to Robert Schumann in gratitude for Schumann's dedication of his great Fantasy in C Major to Liszt 15 years before, sent it to that composer's wife, Schumann himself by then being incarcerated in an insane asylum. Clara Wieck Schumann, venerated as the leading woman pianist of the time, despised it, writing in her diary that "it is a blind noise.... It really is too awful."
In 1855 Liszt's pupil Karl Klindworth gave Richard Wagner a private recital in London. The next day, Wagner wrote to the composer, "Dearest Franz, You were with me, the sonata is beautiful beyond compare; great, sweet, deep and noble, sublime as you are yourself."
For the next two years, Liszt's brilliant pupil Hans Bülow prepared the technically arduous composition under Liszt's guidance. Bülow would give the world premiere on Jan. 27, 1857, in Berlin. It was a unique evening, also being the first public hearing of Bülow's friend Carl Bechstein's first concert grand. The piano received accolades from the audience, but the critics crushed the sonata. How, they asked, could Liszt show such disrespect for the time-honored multimovement classical sonata? One critic called it "an invitation to hissing and stamping."
The following years were devoid of performances, and Liszt discouraged his students from programming it. In 1880, 23 years after its premiere, London would officially hear it, and Saint-Saëns performed it in Paris the same year. Bülow unveiled it in Vienna in 1881, where it was still controversial. The dreaded critic of Wagner and Liszt, Eduard Hanslick, cried in print, "whoever has heard that, and finds it beautiful, is beyond help." Yet by the turn of the century it was receiving frequent performances in Europe. During the 1920s Rachmaninoff played it often.
New York listened to it for the first time under Klindworth's hands in 1888, and others followed. Vladimir Horowitz created a sensation with the sonata at his 1928 Carnegie hall debut. When, four years later, Horowitz made his now legendary recording of the B Minor Sonata, pianists world-wide made haste to learn it. The piece subsequently became an indispensable part of the repertoires of Argerich, Barenboim, Brendel, Gilels, Pollini and many others, all of whom have recorded it.
I was 13 when I first heard the sonata, in a live performance. My breathing, I remember, was fast and hard; time stood still and the music seemed to mirror the whole of human life. The Liszt B Minor Sonata is that rarity, a completely original and quite perfect composition, portraying the finest aspects in the composer's nature. The English critic Cecil Gray wrote, "The essence of his art, consists in a sadness, a melancholy, a disillusion, a despair, of a depth and intensity unequaled, perhaps, in all music."

Would anyone recommend Otis College of Art and Design for learning Entertainment Design and Concept Art?
or Art Center College of Design (which seems SO much better)
because I am currently at The Art Institute of Los Angeles under the wrong major at the wrong school..

Art Center is probably your best bet - they are certainly the dominant school when it comes to Industrial Design. Not sure what Otis' program might be like.

I dont know if you have visited either, but when you do it becomes really clear really fast which is the better school. But despite that, OTIS's curriculum, i thought, was very limited. But thats when i visited 2 years ago. It didn't seem like they let you move around as much as you'd like. There was no specific major that seemed geared toward entertainment illustration.
Art Center on the other hand has an entire Entertainment Illustration program.. which is amazing. A close friend of mine just graduated from there several years ago and he's worked on a number of video games since, in the art department of course, and is now going to be the art director for the company hes working for. He like 24 i think? and is already at an amazing level. He contributes all of that to Art Center.
hope that helped alittle. You best bet though, ofcourse is to visit each and decide for yourself. If you do make sure you ask them where their graduates are now. They have lists showing what most of the graduates are doing. That usualy helps a bunch.

I don't know much about Otis, but I would highly recommend Art Center. I just finished the first year of Entertainment Design here at Art Center. I've tried different schools before, but nothing compares to this program. I've learned more here than I ever did anywhere else. It's nonstop work lol.
The first year is geared towards a strong foundation of industrial design. Meaning, they put you through a rigorous schedule of a lot of 3D building (actually creating stuff). At first I thought it was pointless, but after completing I realized how much I benefited from all those classes.
If you're looking for a program that will teach you to do pretty paintings right away, this isn't it. The main focus is design, not illustration.
That being said, and this goes to anyone considering ACCD Entertainment Design, only apply if you're serious about learning this material. Art Center is known to give you a crap ton of work that leaves no room for play time. You'll be doing work just about every minute you're awake, assuming you want anything better than a C. Expect to get 4 hours of sleep on average. The lucky ones get 6 hours.
Also, Entertainment Design and Entertainment Arts (Illustration) are two different majors.

Ohio State back Hall granted medical redshirt
JAN 10, 2013 2:32p ET
OLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio State says running back Jordan Hall has been granted a medical redshirt after missing most of the 2012 season due to foot and knee injuries.
Hall carried the ball in just three games last season as a senior, totaling 40 attempts for 218 yards and a touchdown. He missed the start of the season after cutting his foot in the summer and the end after partially tearing a knee ligament.
Ohio State also announced that its first spring football practice will be March 5, the second on March 7 and, after spring break, the third would be March 19. The annual spring game is being played April 13 at Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium, due to construction at Ohio Stadium.

Near-Mint 1879-O Twenty1879-O $20 AU58 NGC. The importance of the 1879-O twenty within the Type Three series is discussed elsewhere in this catalog. Its minuscule mintage of 2,325 pieces and status as the only New Orleans Type Three twenty are well known. What sets this particular coin apart is its unusually high grade and pleasing overall surfaces.
One of the Finest Examples Known
One of the Finest Examples Known
As Doug Winter states when writing about this issue:
"Virtually every known example has numerous deep abrasions. In addition, I have seen many 1879-O double eagles that had mint-made spots or areas of discoloration in the planchet. A good percentage of the surviving population has been cleaned and I have also seen many that had scratches on the surfaces. This is an extremely hard coin to find with choice surfaces and only a handful are known as such."
This coin is certainly atypical for an 1879-O as described above. The surfaces show a number of small abrasions scattered over each side, but certainly do not have the "numerous deep abrasions" Doug describes and we have seen on the few '79-O twenties we have handled over the years. The well preserved surfaces are also unusual for examples we have seen in the past. Of the 40 auction appearances in Heritage sales over the last 15 years, only 11 have graded finer than the present coin--the finest an MS63 and the finest coin certified. The surfaces are bright yellow-gold and show much of the prooflikeness often seen on this issue. Fully struck throughout, including the reverse lettering which is often softly impressed.

Earth Opera
by Earth Opera
Released: Apr 2008
Label: Rhino/Elektra
Long before pioneering progressive bluegrass, Peter Rowan and David Grisman manned the controls of Earth Opera, one of Boston's premier psychedelic bands in the late 1960s. The group's self-titled debut is full-blown, Sgt. Pepper-inspired zaniness, nearly as bizarre and fantastical as the Four Seasons' concept album The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette. If sonic collages lathered in art pop, harpsichords and marshmallow magick are your thing, Earth Opera will surely speak to your inner hippie.

Admittedly, I dont do as much reading as I should. Technical books are tedious, not much into novels unless it is sic-fi and most of the net articles seem to be generated to produce web site hits or to pad someones resume. Unfortunately a lot if IT Sec information has gone the later route. When was the last time you followed a link to an interesting report to find it bogus or trivial?
It is the amazing the amount of blank stares I get when asked how I keep up with the industry. I read the below two digests, listen to what is on my peers radar, watch what the government is avoiding saying and can come up with a good assessment of what is going on in IT Sec. Below are my two favorite reading resources:
- I have been reading the RISKS newsletter for over a decade now. http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/ Im not sure if Peter was the originator or not, but it has been a terrific resource. The summaries have a tendency to be biased but the references often point to originating sources so you can form your own conclusions.
- Recently I discovered Crypto-Gram by Bruce Schneier. https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram.html While RISKS covers a wide range of security and info-social issues, the Crypto-Gram is security specific. Bruce is well versed and of a similar mind as myself on security positions.
Occasionally I feel the need to repost some pertinent articles. There is a good chance that it will come from one of these two resources.

This shouldn't be positive but I thought I would get a second opinion anyways. I just had a "period" But it was right after my first round of Clomid and my cycles are usually 90+ days. And I had my period around 28 days this time. Which is super odd. But now I am nauseous, and just not myself. Could be from the meds too.
Thank you!

- GoodBy DrConstantine25 March 2015aged 35 to 44Male
This was a really enjoyable day, so relaxing, the champagne did indeed flow and the food was delicious. The one criticism I would have was how the day ended. A gruesome murder! It was horrible, and in the end, it turned out that I was one of the murderers along with everyone else on board! Well, I never saw this coming. Other than that last bit though, it was a fab day out! Recommended!Date used : 25/03/2015
- WOW what a surprise - Glamis CastleBy Clion195102 September 2014aged 55 to 64Male
Sorting out the vouchers with Tesco was not a problem and all straight forward. The day itself, although an early start was a fantastic day from boarding the train at 6.30am in Darlington and returning at around 10.30pm the same day the whole experience was well worth it. The food, drink, service and overall itinerary was all perfection. If there was an item on the menu not to your taste then they would sort it out with an alternative. The on board staff never seem to stand still. If you are thinking about it but not sure if it's worth it, go for it you will be pleasantly surprised!!!Date used : 30/08/2014
- Amazing day outBy Arctophile03 January 2014aged 55 to 64Female
We have travelled on the Northern Belle from Crewe to Edinburgh twice now, using our Tesco points, and each time had the most amazing day of sheer luxury & enjoyment. The service & food were excellent & the Staff could not have been more pleasant. This is a great way to celebrate a special birthday or anniversary and we can't wait to go again!Date used : 23/08/2013

Focus on Propostion 8
BY Lesley Goldberg
June 17 2010 1:55 PM ET
My relationships with my sisters and my father are forever ruined. And my relationship with my mother, because she has defended my sisters and my dad, it is at a very critical stage. I don't know what's going to happen with my family. I would have wanted my family to stand with me; instead I had to stand alone. My dad wrote me an e-mail saying, "It's out in the media that I told you in a conversation that God gave me the scriptures first before he gave me you. Where the hell did that come from?" I had to respond, "Dad, it came out of your mouth. And by the way, don't fault me for what's out in the media and don't fault me for the fracture in our family. If you have a problem with the fracture in our family, take it up with your prophet, take it up with your church leaders — who you side with. There's where the problem is. Don't blame it on me." That's the truth. The fractures in all Mormon families and families of all faiths aren't the fault of the gay child. They're the fault of religious leaders and the family that chooses to listen to the bully who stands at the pulpit, the bigot at the pulpit.
The film is incredibly well researched. Is there one specific interview that's had the most impact on you?
From an emotional standpoint, the most impactful story was Stuart Matis, a young Mormon who was gay who strapped a note to himself saying "Do not resuscitate" and blew his brains out on the steps of a Mormon church in California. That story has been out there, but what took my breath away was when I asked his parents years later to be interviewed for this film, after all of the damage of Proposition 8 and after knowing of their son's suicide, they asserted to me in a voice-mail message that's in the film, "We have no other than position than what the position of the church is." Still they persisted in defending and supporting the church.
Knowing what you do now, would you do this all over again?
Yes, and doubly so. Sign me up twice. I've gotten so many letters from young people that said, "You don't know how close I was to suicide."

Team Jimmy Beans!
There's no way Jimmy Beans would exist without the help of this entire group!
For some extra fun, we asked some of our beans the following questions:
Where are you from?
What is your favorite yarn and why?
What is your dream project to complete?
Tell us something unique about you!
You can check out what they said below:
We are so glad to have
in the shop, as she keeps things running smoothly and it often seems that she is the only one who knows for sure where everything is. A former welder (yes, you read that right!), Sandy has both the technical and creative aptitude to help with all of your knitting projects. It seems like every week she's coming up with a new and inspiring idea and all of us Beans just love having her around! Sandy spends her time pulling orders while dancing and singing around the shop. She never ceases to put a smile on everyone's faces!
is originally from Alpha Centauri, but was born in Reno and relocated back. She came to us when she quit working as a Paralegal and chose to pursue her true passion, fiber arts. Always up to fun and mischief, she helps keep beans as well as customers happy with what she calls the 'Jeanne and Sandy Show'. Her favorite yarn is Rowan Felted Tweed for its color, tweedy texture, and because it's machine washable. Jeanne would love to build a yurt one day. Always a dreamer, Jeanne says she dreams in color.
is originally from Northern CA and also WA, and at one time or another, she's done pretty much everything fiber-related from raising wool sheep, angora goats and rabbits, judging fibers and crafts, spinning, dyeing and knitting her own yarns. She hasn't completed a Swirl coat yet, but would like to! She has a deep appreciation for all things handmade with care and a passion for learning "old" ways of making things like foods, soaps, or clothes. When she's not helping customers in the store or knitting, she loves to be out in the woods, traveling, reading mysteries, sci-fi or the latest science discoveries and enjoying good food.
is from Las Vegas and is one of our Madelinetosh lovers - she says it's magically delicious! Ultra computer savvy, Erika always has a great attitude while she does things all over the place in the warehouse. A graduate from UNR, Erika has helped us out in a bind in more ways than one! Originally a crocheter, Erika has now fanned out to the wide world of knitting and hopes to one day finish her Ravelry queue. We think she's a little infatuated with Stephen West, but you didn't hear that from us!
has a degree in Anthropology and minored in Art Studio, but is going back for more these days. When she is not knitting, she enjoys painting, drawing, and being outdoors. Before working for Jimmy Beans Wool, she worked for Nevada Conservation Corps where she spent her days building trails and camping in the Mount Rose Wilderness - something she hopes to do again someday. She loves Tosh DK (as you can see on our project log...) and has dual citizenship, as she was born in Sweden.
We are thrilled to have
on our team with her lively spirit and amazing art skills - whether she's using a pen, a camera, crochet hook or knitting needles. A born Nevadan and originally homeschooled, Sharon is also our ridiculously nice in-store crochet expert and totally loves Madelinetosh! Somehow she also manages to take classes in her free time while she works on earning her degree in Fine Art.
is a ruffle-tastic, shinning ball of sunshine with a BA in French and Economic Policy. Her nickname around here is "Leawesome". A lover of anything colorful and supersoft, she knits and crochets and is one of our top yarn sleuths, meaning it's her job to find all the newest, most fabulous yarns out there so we can offer them to all of you! Leanne was the first person in the shop to fall in love with ruffle yarn and she continues to introduce us to all the most exciting new yarn trends. Her ambition is to knit an infinite number of Mara Shawls, and she says of herself: "I am an amazing unicorn of awesome-sauce!"
is one of our social media fiends and keeps our customers in the loop about what's going on at JBW. Kristen's been knitting since she was 8 years old, and is an up-and-coming knitwear designer (check out our Free Patterns page!) with several self-published designs and patterns in our Stitch Red books. In her spare time (and when she's not knitting or taking care of Olive, the newest addition to her family), she enjoys hanging out with her husband, Nick, and their doggie, Wallace, cooking, hiking in the Sierras, running, doing yoga and tending to her garden and chickens!
Although she started working out in our e-commerce, retail and special projects teams,
has since moved over to help support the overall operations here at JBW! Bethany's hands are sure to be busy with a baby and her puppy "Little Black Dog" (Elbee for short). Bethany says she comes from all over, and besides the ever-popular Madelinetosh, she also loves Malabrigo yarns. A fun fact about her is that she is a bionic woman - she has a metal plate in her arm!
has done a little bit of everything here at Jimmy Beans Wool. She has worked in retail, answered phones, pulled orders and now is a part of our 'doing all the things' team. A self-proclaimed sugar addict, you will often find Diana sneaking HoHos and Pepsi as a work snack before her kids can steal them all. She is a great knitter and lived in Australia for two years, where she hopes to one day go back and visit.
is one of our all-round Super-Beans, working in Customer Service and managing the inventory team. She recently graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno, where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, with a minor in Psychology. She caught the knitting bug from all the knitoholics on the team, and is getting better at it all the time! In her spare time she enjoys going to Tahoe, watching movies, eating Italian food, and reading.
As friendly and fun as she is fast,
is our secret weapon - this gal is a pulling, customer service, and knitting machine! We joke that she must have elves doing her knitting while she sleeps, because it seems like every time we see her, she's finished an awesome new project! A Dental Hygienist by day, Marilyn moonlights at Jimmy Beans to support her secret yarn habit (shhh...)
You might know
from our fabric department, where his amazing quilted creations adorn the walls of the warehouse and got us all dreaming of our next fabric purchases! Quilting no longer is his only thing, though - he caught the yarn bug and recently started weaving, hoping to weave a Navajo rug one day! We love Gus for all of his useful fabric tips and tricks, and for the stories he tells about Sophie, his adorable Brussels Griffon. A Canadian from N.W. Ontario, his favorite yarn is Cascade Pure Alpaca (sooo soft!), and he loves to share his talents with people and see them smile - which he does often while working in our retail shop!
has done all kinds of different things here at JBW, and is now part of the tech team. She has become (in)famous around here for her Santa-Countdown, and gets to play both with yarn, taking photos, and with computers, video cameras and all the other techie toys - which are all super fun in her opinion. Her favorite yarn is Koigu, and since she loves all the colorful things, her nickname in the shop is "Rainbowtastic". She loves knitting, crocheting and sewing, and does it all in German as well as English. When she's not doing something creative or cooking, she enjoys traveling with her hubby.
is a native Nevadan who learned to knit in college and has been a knitting fiend ever since, always working on her goal of making the perfect-fitting sweater! Her trademark is being able to read and write in 3 living languages and 4 dead ones, which is a great help with our international customers sometimes! When she's not teaching us about linguistics (she got her masters degree in Indiana), she writes for the newsletter, purchases goodies with Leanne, and is preparing to be a first-time mom. She is also an avid reader who loves board games - and is most likely the biggest Whovian in the shop, often accompanied by her crochet version of the Tenth Doctor!
is from North Carolina and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with degrees in Anthropology and Biology. She worked as an archaeologist for six years before her passion for knitting caused her to seek out a job in the crafty world. She loves crafts of all types including knitting, spinning and sewing, which is what she spends most of her spare time doing. She has also realized her dream of becoming a knitwear designer and dyes her own yarn - check out Unraveled Designs and Yarn!
Organizing our ever-growing group of Beans is becoming quite the task, so
has joined the admin section of Team JBW to help keep us from sliding into chaos and to support Bethany as a Beany-herder. She is great at refereeing speed-knitting contests, as she is also a super-soccer-mom (which helps a lot with all the running around she's doing in the shop!). When she isn't around to keep us organized, Mindy loves being out in nature with her kids, or restoring old photographs.
Part of our IT-team,
is one of our technically fearless support Beans who helps us keep that hardware and software running. Fearless also fits her outside of work, as she is an online-warrior-princess gamer and always is looking for an addition to her spider photograph collection. She loves noodles, preferably with other mysterious ingredients, and she is one of the few people we know who looks great in yellow - actually, we think she's the most stylish 'geek' ever!
A full-time student,
hides out at Jimmy Beans on weekends to get away from her homework... just kidding! She's an integral part of our E-Commerce team, and you can usually find her pulling and shipping orders at lightning speed, and taking care of our phone customers. Sam loves good food and always dresses cute and stylishly, fabulously combining those knit pieces. And she is always willing to share some fabulous hair styling tips with you... if you ask nicely!
originates from Blue Springs, MO originally and has lived in Nevada since 2003. She's a new knitter and hasn't tried many yarns yet, but anything with sparkle like Hollywood, or fluffy like Caribou or silky-shiny like Sea Silk are right up her alley! Jill is our retail manager, so she gets to play with yarn and customers a lot, which really inspires her to improve her knitting - she'd love to make a bunch of amigurumi toys! Everyone who eats lunch with Jill has noticed her love of orange (junk) foods - Sunkist, Cheetos, anything with cheese! Sadly, she has no love for healthy green stuff!
is one of our marketing and social media team members and gets to Tweet and Facebook and do all those other fun things on the internet we all wish we got paid for. :-) Originally from El Paso, TX, Olivia went to high school in Reno and was a flight attendant in a former life! She loves Juniper Moon Farm yarns because they are so soft and luxurious and have gorgeous colors plus great story behind each one. Once she can really knit (she's working on it!), her goal is a Boxy Cape by Joji Locatelli; her not-at-all-ambitious non-knitting dream is to design and decorate an entire home one day.
Besides having a great sense of humor,
is the perfect inventory-organizer for our warehouse. He knows where things go, magically makes room for them where there is none, and intimidates us when necessary to keep our paws off the yarn until it is checked in. And besides that, the Midland, MI native seems to be immune to the cold winter in the warehouse - it doesn't bother him. He doesn't think he's worn a coat since he moved to Nevada. Even though Travis doesn't knit or crochet, he's artistically inclined and is currently having fun painting cars with Plasti Dip. He really likes any Tosh yarn in the color 'Fathom'.
is another Reno native who loves all things Madelinetosh - we swear they didn't pay us to say this! When Lauren isn't working in backorders in the warehouse, you can often find other beans coming to her for beauty advice, as she is a professional beautician and helped a lot of us dye our hair peachy or get cool mohawks. Lauren is getting better and better at knitting, and hopes to one day make a sweater for herself, and to finish terracing her crazy backyard! A fun fact about Lauren is that she never wore pink until she had my daughter - now it's her favorite color!
Medical student
- also a Nevada native - is another of our 'do it all' beans in the warehouse as well as retail, always giving a bright smile and great service to our customers. Since she started working at Jimmy Beans, she has become just as much a yarnoholic as most of the rest of us - her favorite is Manos del Uruguay Alegria because of the cool colors, but she also hopes to one day complete a whole blanket out of Tosh. A Tosh-knitting doctor, those are lofty goals! But we know she can do it, because she's already traveled to China!
Las Vegas native
is part of the warehouse e-commerce team and one of the few beans who doesn't have a yarn problem yet... Besides always being motivated and really popular with all the ladies, he has a ready smile for everybody and an awesome baseball cap collection. He thinks that Louisa Harding Luzia is really cool yarn, because it looks like his last name (Liuzza), and wants to create a robot one day. Once he does, we hope he'll build one that can knit or at least organize our stashes!
is another one of those beans that our customers love, because she is super nice and helpful to all of them - all the time! Besides knitting, she has a whole bunch of other hobbies such as softball or other sports or playing videogames with her boyfriend. On some days, Brittany wants to become a teacher, but on others, she'd rather just play with her newly adopted border collie, Bo.
is one of those well-rounded people who like a little bit of everything - he's studying business management, but is also highly creative: Besides knitting beanies (his favorite yarn is anything Madelinetosh...), he plays guitar and piano and sings. No wonder the ladies who come to visit the shop all adore him! He originally comes from Las Vegas, capital of show business, and hopes to put out his own music CD one day.
Jen A
Jen A
- not to be confused with our other Jenn - recently moved here from Seattle, where she used to work as a film critic for a (now defunct) website, and saw over 70 films one year at the Seattle International Film Festival. When she's not working on her tan, or trying not to buy all the yarn in the warehouse at once, Jen is learning all the things around the warehouse and delighting customers with her knitting and yarn experience in our retail shop. She especially loves Malabrigo - any base, any color. She calls it her 'desert island yarn'. Her ambition is to knit a Fair Isle version of Elizabeth Zimmerman's long underwear - all with leftovers from her stash.
Reno native
is one of the beans who creates our ever-popular tea cakes and other sampler sets; she's superfast at winding and wrangling those little ballsies! We bet that her kitties appreciate her skills in that respect, too. Heather especially loves working with any yarn from Lorna's Laces, she finds that the bright, vivid colors make any project you're working on unique. She crochets and cross-stitches, but although she knows how, she doesn't knit because her gauges usually end up half the size they should be since she knits so tight. Who knows, maybe all those loose knitty thoughts around the shop will rub off on her in time!
, who's also a Reno native, works alongside the other e-commerce beans in the warehouse, helping customers with orders, packing and shipping all those wonderful projects-to-be. When he's not with Jimmy Beans, he works for the Reno police department - that fits with the fact that he used to be an Eagle Scout! John has tried tons of different hobbies as a youngster, and hopes to travel to every country on the planet in his lifetime. Since he speaks several languages, among them Japanese, he should be well prepared for all those trips!
recently returned to us from taking a first-time-mom break and is at it again in the warehouse, pulling, packing and whizzing about as fast as ever! Having a youngster to knit for, what better place to work at than a yarn shop, right? Besides Madelinetosh, she thinks Spud and Chloe is a great, fun, quality yarn with a lot of versatility. But she "wouldn't be mad if they came out with some variegated colors". When Kaylynn isn't working or taking care of her cute son, she dreams of making a HUGE Granny Square blanket; and of studying herbology and doing something great with that knowledge.
originally hails from Sacramento, CA and is one of our recent beany additions on the e-commerce team. She's just learning to knit, but she's already addicted to Madelinetosh, like most of the rest of us, it seems - she says that the colors are beautiful and the skeins always feel amazing! Mikayla also crochets and hopes to finish a blanket she's working on, but is looking forward to her first knitted hat. When she's not flitting about the warehouse pulling orders, she loves to play pool, and she loves guinea pigs!
is a really fun bean who is originally from Melbourne, Australia. Her last name is Crowe... so we are hoping that maybe she can put in a good word for us and one day Russell will come and visit. Penny likes Malabrigo because it's pretty; besides being a superfast puller, she can do some really awesome stuff like move her eyebrows independently of one another! She has the really cool goal to one day work on waste water reclamation in a third world country.
Born in Santa Rosa, CA,
grew up in Reno. Yet another Tosh fan ("because the colors are gorgeous and each is a little unique!"), Katelyn joined our team to help in the warehouse with filling orders and customer service on our awesome ecommerce team! Katelyn is a really creative person and would love to build a custom home sometime, and design her own clothing line. Like many of us, she loves her pets - she has 2 cats, Isabel and Cleo.
is originally from Texas and is a fan of all kinds of unique things - such as yarns from Noro: "I love it because each skein is unique!" When Leslie isn't flitting about the warehouse with the rest of our busy beans helping to fill orders, she does a bunch of creative things - she can weave, crochet, knit, cross-stitch, needlepoint, and quilt! A wished-for project on her list is a cabled sweater.
Laura (Jimmy)
Originally from North Carolina,
earned a Master's in Poli Sci but switched gears while earning her PhD to computer programming. After working at a software developing job in Palo Alto (which is where Laura met her future husband, Doug!), they moved to scenic Tahoe for a change of pace. During this time, Laura learned to knit and loved it... which is how she met Lorna - owner of a local hand-dyed yarn company. She encouraged Laura to follow her true passion (knitting!) and voila! Doug and Laura emptied their savings account and Jimmy Beans Wool was born!
We would also like to introduce you to
, Laura's husband! Doug grew up in Madison, Wisconsin. He basically built our website and computer system from stratch and is a wiz on the computer - he truly makes the lives of all the other beans much easier!
Doug loves to ski in his spare time and also recently started helping his son Huck hone his already awesome martial arts skills.
Laura and Doug's son
was born in 2009. This little boy has already made a splash at the shop. Besides Karate, he loves to ski (we wonder where he got that from...), go hiking, and eat spicy foods! He had lots of fun with the Stitch Mountain photo shoot last year and his motto on the slopes is:"I'm so fast, nobody can catch me!"
A born trouble-maker, he's hands-down the cutest one of us all... well, except for maybe Buddy and Wiley - we guess it's a three way tie :)
Although no longer with us, Laura and Doug's german shepherd/greyhound mix
was hands down the best product tester to date. He liked to make sure that our yarns were super soft & that they would keep him plenty warm. He will certainly be missed and will always be dear to our hearts!
Sadly, we lost
as well, leaving the Jimmy Beans team without either of its original doggy mascots. While we know he's happy chasing tennis balls in the Great Beyond, we'll miss his sweet face and willingness to receive pats and belly rubs pretty much constantly. Both Buddy and Wiley will be remembered as important parts of the Jimmy Beans Family!

Gas overflows while filling up
I've been having my truck for a little over 2 years now and just recently started having this problem. Every time I fill up with gas the pump shuts off and gas overflows from the tank. I thought it might have been the pump at the local station so I tried going to another station only to have the tank overflow again. Any ideas what may be causing this?
I have had the same thing happen, not everytime though just random. I would like to know too. Mine will bubble like there is air in there somewhere.
There's a problem with the tank venting during refueling. It could be a tank or EVAP system problem, so the dealer needs to handle it.
I dropped it off at the dealership this morning. I will let y'all know what the outcome is. Thanks for the reply.
Geez, I don't want to have to bring it back to the dealer already. I know for sure all the Ford and Chevy guys at work will give me a hard time about it since we all joke with each other!! :smiledown:
Just got a call from the dealership and they said it was a faulty tank. He didnt go into much detail but they are replacing the tank under warranty.
This only happens to me when I try to put more in after the initial automatic pump stop.
I generally slow the fuelling down when I hear it start to get full, to make sure I do get in as much as possible without having to restart after the stop.
Wow how weird ..today the same thing happen to mine....Hmmmmm....

We currently have a 20-month-old Goldendoodle that is the best dog all around. Love him to death, but I have a question. Since getting past the puppy teething stage, he's been really good about not chewing anything other than his own toys, with one exception. He has chewed holes in 2 pairs of my pajamas and my bathrobe. He gets locked in our bedroom when we have to be out of the house (I work from home so he spends minimal time locked up alone). My dh says that he remembers reading recently that if a dog is upset with being left alone, it will find something with the scent of its owner and destroy that object as a way of getting back at the owner for leaving them. Does anyone know if this is true? I'm not a dog psychologist, but I just find it so interesting that he never destroys anything else in the house, but has destroyed 3 pieces of my clothing (that I mistakenly left on the bed) when left alone. He doesn't touch anything else in the bedroom except my pj's.
Question for dog owners
Comments (2)
Hi. From things I have read, it would seem like your dog isn't trying to get back at you for leaving. He is chewing on your things because he is anxious. I would try putting him some place where he can't get into anything. Also, take him for a long walk or play with him to tire him out before you leave. Make sure that when you put him up that he has plenty of chew toys to play with. A kong toy stuffed with peanut butter or cheese wiz is good. Or, if there are any bones that he especially enjoys. You should also practice leaving for short periods of time, a few seconds at first. When he is good, come back and prase him and make the time your gone longer. Hope this helps and good luck.
One of our weimaraners felt the need to destroy anything with my scent on it (shoes, ipod, expensive underthings...) when we started leaving him alone while at work. I slept a few nights on a pillow case and put it in his cage with his bed and the behavior stopped. It's a combination of anxiety and searching for a comforting scent (you!). Our rescue weim had serious anxiety issues when we brought him home and the vet recommended treats with herbal supplements (Valerian and rose hips - the ones we buy are green squares from Dr. Fosters & Smith online). These helped a lot as he got used to being in a new house and on road trips.
I say that the dogs won't chew out of spite. I have experience with weimaraners and poodles and we can tell if something will be destroyed when we come home at the time we leave!

Trust me, I'm smarter than I look...
Looking for someone who can have an intelligent conversation, who appreciates life and beauty and the world we live in...not too serious, but someone who can take some things seriously. Someone who is patient, kind, energetic, and ambitious, but who knows how to kick back and relax when the opportunity arises. I am what some people would describe as hyper-motivated. I'm not necessarily looking for someone who is a complete workaholic, but I am in love with what I do and I would like to find someone who has a similar passion. I'm not particularly interested in someone who sells/grows pot for a living, is in their 5th year as an "undecided" major at the JC, etc...I'm really looking for someone who is established in their life.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Cycling, Dancing, Skiing, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Horses
Some other viewpoint
I'll go anywhere in Central/South America, Europe. Love Panama, Chile, Peru, Costa, El Salvador, Barcelona, Prague....recently ventured to Africa for a month on business. Ok, I will really go anywhere at least once.
I like most music, with the exception of heavy metal and "modern" rap... I love flowers, thunderstorms, standing on the top of the tallest mountain I can find, laying next to the ocean, delicious food, laughter, sunshine, nerds, Hunter S. Thompson.
Mountain biking, living and loving life. Friends, cooking, eating, enjoying good wine and good company....talking, occasionally into great detail about rocks, the world, traveling, energy, both human and natural, anything and anywhere in Colorado~
The last thing I read was a journal article on the Proterozoic orogenic belts of Laurentia. Look it up...some questions are really just better left unanswered.

DULLES, VA (PRBuzz.com) March 22, 2012 -- Despite an overall production gain for natural gas, companies participating in the Natural Gas Intelligence (NGI) North American natural gas marketer survey reported a 2 Bcf/d decline in sales volumes in 2011, compared with 2010, according to NGI's 2011 Top North American Gas Marketers Ranking.
The die was set earlier in the year and the fourth quarter had almost no impact, with 4Q2011 just a fraction off results in 4Q2010, as reported in NGI's 4Q2011 Top North American Gas Marketers Ranking. Market analysts blamed warm winter weather and low prices, which left little room for arbitrage through multiple trades.
Twenty-six of the leading companies participating in NGI's survey had total sales transactions of 135.29 Bcf/d in 4Q2011, compared with 135.86 Bcf/d that they transacted in 4Q2010. But there was a 1% or 2 Bcf/d decline in the total sales transactions for the 12-month period, according to the survey. Three of the top five marketers for both the quarter and the year posted a decline in sales.
The lower trading numbers came even as 2011 saw an increase in domestic gas production of 4.3 Bcf/d, or 7.5%, over 2010, marking the largest year-over-year production jump in the last 25 years, according to Bentek Energy LLC. Production growth has stalled or declined in the last six months everywhere except in the Marcellus Shale as producers scale back dry gas activity due to low prices.
Surveyed sales volumes are always higher than production since the same package of gas may be bought and sold several times over on the way from the wellhead to the burnertip. The fact that sales volumes declined while production increased could be ascribed to lower prices dampening trading and spawning fewer multiple trades. It also could be that more production went into storage to be sold later.
BP plc continued to hold the top spot in the survey, despite reporting decreases in both quarterly and annual physical sales of natural gas. The energy giant reported physical sales of 23.90 Bcf/d in 4Q2011, a 5% decline from 25.10 Bcf/d in 4Q2010, and it reported average sales of 23.00 Bcf/d for 2011, a 12% decline from 26.10 Bcf/d in 2010.
Second-ranked ConocoPhillips reported a 10% increase in sales to 16.10 Bcf/d in 4Q2011, up from 14.70 Bcf/d in 4Q2010, and a 5% increase in NGI's Full-Year 2011 survey, reporting an average 15.45 Bcf/d, up from 14.65 Bcf/d in 2010.
No. 3, Shell Energy, didn't fare as well, reporting 13.80 Bcf/d in 4Q2011, a 9% decline from 15.10 Bcf/d in 4Q2010, and 13.20 Bcf/d for 2011, a 15% decline from 15.60 Bcf/d in 2010.
The biggest percentage gainers were CitiGroup (No. 12) which had sales up 68% to 3.57 Bcf/d in 2011 over 2010, and JP Morgan (No. 6) with sales at 6.68 Bcf/d and ExxonMobil (No. 11) with sales at 4.33Bcf/d, both of which marked 37% gains.
Stubbornly low prices are behind a growing number of decisions in the industry and, according to Houston Energy Partners co-manager John Olson and other analysts, there is no quick fix in sight.
"The industry seems to be stuck in a 'value trap,' to use a Wall Street phrase, where a lot of producers have to sell their gas for whatever reason -- maybe just to pay their note at the bank -- while some others are selling their gas because they're hedged at $4 or $5 or $6, and the misery index is accordingly high," Olson told NGI.
The survey ranks marketers on sales transactions only. In a separate analysis of federal filings of gas sales, purchases and production last year, NGI found that BP was the only one of the top five U.S. producers of natural gas that also showed up among the top five gas marketers in 2010. BP led the marketers in combined sales and purchase volumes, followed by Shell, ConocoPhillips, Macquarie and JP Morgan, according to the in-depth NGI report, based on 2010 Form 552 filings with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
On the natural gas production side ExxonMobil led the top five, followed by Chesapeake Energy, BP, Anadarko Petroleum and Devon Energy, based on data from producer filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
