When most people hear the phrase "operating system in the cloud" they usually think of a really cool client-side, Web-based desktop like EyeOS or CloudMe or even Chromium OS. Perhaps that is the future of client operating systems, but when cloud infrastructure providers talk about operating systems, they are making reference to which OS your cloud infrastructure will run on. And, it's not always limited to just one in many cases.
At GoGrid, we provide a variety of operating systems including:
- Windows Server
- Ubuntu
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux
- Debian
- CentOS
Operating systems in the cloud are very important because they are what your applications and infrastructure are built upon. Whether you're using the cloud to deploy test & development environments, act as your data center or run your company's business critical applications, the operating system plays a vital role in cloud infrastructure.
Most IT professionals are pretty passionate about what operating system they prefer. For instance, search for "Windows vs. Linux" on Google – over 109 million results have some sort of opinion on the topic. But, since actions speak louder than words, we wanted to determine which operating system was used more by the IT industry.

POTSDAM. NY – Junior Robbi Bailey netted twice in Hilbert's 3-0 victory over Green Mountain College in the consolation match of the Potsdam College Cup September 2. Sarah Schmidt scored the game winner midway through the first half and assisted on Bailey's first goal, earning an All-Tournament nod for the weekend tournament.
The Hawks offense finally clicked in the twenty-second minute when Mary Mabon led Schmidt to the net for her first score of the season. A few minutes later, Schmidt connected with Bailey who placed a perfect ball in the top right corner to give Hilbert their two-goal lead heading into half time. Bailey was again set up, this time by Maria Delmonico at 49:08, finishing the scoring for the afternoon.
Ariana Scheidt earned her first collegiate shut-out making four saves for the Hawks. Hilbert outshot the Eagles 23-5 forcing Green Mountain's Kim Simonetti scrambling for 13 saves.
In the championship game, Potsdam scored four second half goals to down Cazenovia College, 6-0, to claim the inaugural Potsdam Women's College Cup.
Named to the 2012 All-Tournament Team was Kate Clauss (Potsdam), MVP and Heather Johnson (Potsdam), Top Score; Sarah Schmidt (Hilbert), Johanna Douglas (Green Mountain), Breanne Warner (Cazenovia) and Best Goalkeepers were Jamie Durant (Potsdam) and Shannon Weader (Potsdam).
Hilbert travels to Wells College September 5 for a 3 pm non-conference game.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition.

To the Editor,
Early in 2013, The Charlotte Observer reported a leaked strategy memo outlining a game plan by left-wing non-profit organizations to demonize and discredit Governor McCrory and the Republican-led legislature. The take-away from the story is that "left-wing non-profit groups wield an alarming amount of power in the media, state politics, and government" (Civitas, April, 2013). These left-wing groups included Planned Parenthood, ACLU, NC Council of Churches, NC NAACP, NC Policy Watch, America Votes, etc. Staged outrage, including Moral Mondays, has been aided and abetted by liberal media's fits of hyperbole and can only be described as seriously misleading and misguided.
I believe we can be duped by what we read and hear. That's why I check my sources. Well-crafted propaganda can be intoxicating but wrong-headed. Reading and citing only publications or media like the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, or MSNBC will lead to predictable left-leaning conclusions. Why is it that I rarely see reference to stories published by conservative-leaning sources such as Civitas or national sources like Newsmax or Townhall? What about the glowing Forbes review of Gov McCrory and the NC legislature in the last few days? It cited North Carolina as a "best-in-class example of what can happen when legislators keep their promises and the governors follow through on their word." Why do I see so little written by the famed Harvard-educated, black, conservative economist Thomas Sowell, a native of Gastonia? Could all this liberal media hype about North Carolina have something to do with the Senate seat of Kay Hagan? What better way for national leftists to influence the vote in NC than to trash the Republican leadership in the state?
To reinforce my observations, I must cite a recent column in the Mount Airy News by D.G. Martin entitled Egypt, Nazi Germany, and North Carolina. Mr. Martin draws a parallel between "Nazi excesses" and the Republican Party of North Carolina! This is an offense to me and hundreds of other registered Republicans in Surry County and this state. Casting Republicans as heartless and racist will do little to promote civil discourse and honest debate on the vital issues of the day. It is ironic that almost every study on personal giving shows that conservatives are far more generous in giving to charities for the benefit of the poor or less fortunate. Predictably, liberals are always willing to be generous with other people's money (tax revenues).
In my view, agitators have twisted every effort of Governor McCrory and the legislature to restore fiscal sanity, to enact education reform, to make business-friendly changes to the tax code, to promote economic prosperity, to create jobs, and to strengthen family values. Yes, liberal-progressives in the Democrat Party are passionate, but only to policies doomed to failure. Question: how is that liberal-progressive approach working out for the people in bankrupt Detroit or crime-infested Chicago?
Proudly, I embrace the principles of personal responsibility, a more efficient and limited government, the centrality of God and family, economic freedom, free enterprise, opposition to bailouts and corporate welfare, reductions in the tax burden, fiscal restraint and balanced budgets, the sanctity of life, legal immigration, honest and accurate elections, local and state control of education policy and curriculum, less federal intrusion in health care, and opposition to encroachments on all rights which the Constitution has reserved to the states or to the people.

Guillem has his say on La Liga and answers YOUR questions...
It was an interesting weekend in La Liga; no-one had predicted Barcelona losing at Real Sociedad and no-one expected to see Real Madrid looking like the champions of last season.
Despite drawing 2-2 with Malaga in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona were happy with how they played in that match and felt they had peaked again, blaming the result on the fact they weren't playing their regular team.
They could have been 3-0 up against Sociedad which would have killed the game and they were very comfortable with how they were playing - but instead, that confidence basically punished them.
In the second half especially, Sociedad kept putting a net in the midfield which Barcelona were uncomfortable passing by, so they started using long balls.
That presented Lionel Messi with a chance and led to one of the goals, but it was down to necessity because they Sociedad were stopping Xavi and Cesc Fabregas passing (although not so much Andres Iniesta).
Most people have the idea of pressuring high, making it difficult for Barca to build from the back to stop them (although Celtic fans will think differently) but Sociedad actually did it, which is the hard part.
They were also strong enough mentally at 2-0 down to believe they could turn it around.
The goal they scored before the break gave them hope and, after the sending off of Gerard Pique, you could see relaxation in the Barcelona side; we didn't see much of Messi and Sociedad took advantage.
They proved you don't need to be aggressive to Barcelona to beat them, you just need to play well and Sociedad did that. It was brilliant from them.
Switched on
Real Madrid, meanwhile, beat Valencia 5-0 away from home after winning 2-0 against them at the Bernabeu in the cup in midweek.
After the cup game Jose Mourinho had a go at Cristiano Ronaldo because he took a shot instead of passing to Gonzalo Higuain and took a quick throw at the end when Mourinho would have preferred more control.
It was one of those telling offs Mourinho's done with everybody lately as part of his strategy to get everybody switched on. Ronaldo reacted saying: 'This is not fair, I give all my life to you'.
The players feel they're in it by themselves and are working for each other now to reach their targets, which is the cup and the Champions League.
Either Mourinho has made the side work psychologically for eachother again or the players are like: 'we're not comfortable with Mourinho but we'll do it for ourselves'.
Of course, Mourinho will tell you its down to his work as a psychologist...
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it to email@example.com or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
There is no doubt that Messi is one of a kind, but my question to you Guillem is: do you still believe that when the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Pedro, have finally moved on, that Messi would still be the same player? Samad Mughal (Manchester Utd fan)
GUILLEM REPLIES: Pedro and Iniesta will be there as long as Messi will be there. Without them would Messi be as good a player? Well, three things have been put together to make this Barcelona side so good: one, the appearance of Messi; two, the understanding of the game everyone has and you won't lose that because players coming through have that intelligence too; and three, the players playing around Messi, you wouldn't be able to get that quality. They will still be success.
Guillem, Do you not think Ronaldinho at his best equalled, if not surpassed, Messi? That is a view I support, I believe the main difference between the two players, is that Ronaldinho plays for fun, he has never put himself out to improve. Whereas Messi, on top of being incredibly talented, works hard to develop his potential. Had Ronaldinho been a hard worker, I think he would have stayed the king of Barcelona and of the world for quite a few years. Sam Gamgie (Liverpool fan)
GUILLEM REPLIES: Ronaldinho had moments of brilliance but what makes Messi outstanding and unique in the game is his consistency. I don't know if you saw the 'Magic of Messi' show we did, but he was unbelievable for 12 months - and he's been doing that for five years. Having a good game, a good season or a good year and a half - which Ronaldinho had - can we compare that to Messi? Impossible. For me, to say he's equal you have to look at everything, not just the best moments.
Hi Guillem, Do you think Messi gets more praise from media, fans and coaches than Ronaldo because he doesn't come across as cocky and selfish? Do you think for Ronaldo it's best to leave La Liga and go back home to Manchester United to try and win the Ballon D'Or? Adios. Kyle Murray (Manchester Utd fan)
GUILLEM REPLIES: Ronaldo has an image problem he's trying to sort out now; he's trying to get a better public image. He may be cocky on the pitch but he's a nice guy off it. We work in a society where it is black and white: you're a hero or villain. Everybody has put Messi into the hero box and Ronaldo into the villain one. Ronaldo is a bit fed up with that. But Messi's also selfish and Ronaldo is nice like Messi, as well. Sometimes it is just the image society has got. I don't think it is best for La Liga or for him to leave; he's at a good club and I'm sure Madrid will do their best to keep him.
Good Morning Guillem. The news of Victor Valdes not renewing his contract is shocking but do you think Barca will find a replacement this transfer window. Arun Rabbani.
GUILLEM REPLIES: You may consider it bad timing but he did it because he felt Barca will now have time to look for a replacement and if they want to get money for him they could sell him at the end of the season. We will see what Barca do but the way he did it made it clear he didn't want to negotiate at all and that suggests he feels very strongly about it. We'll discuss it more in Revista but the way he did it suggests he feels a little bit disappointed towards the club and how they behave towards him.

Now Cleator Moor looks to Portas to revive town centre
Last updated at 12:13, Thursday, 12 April 2012
CLEATOR Moor is set to follow Whitehaven in bidding to become a Mary Portas pilot as a town in need of High Street revival.
As Whitehaven waits to hear whether it will achieve success in this year's inaugural competition, Cleator Moor is already pulling together a bid for next year.
A meeting for local businesses is being held in the town in Cleator Moor Civic Hall next Tuesday at 4.30pm to kick-start the process.
Efforts are under way to form a Town Team to make the bid by the June 30 deadline.
One of the prime movers is Dave Farrell of Farrell Sports. He said: "Cleator Moor has suffered more than most town centres and it goes back, I think, to 1997 when the Co-op relocated out of the centre to Leconfield.
"Since then there's been lots of talk about trying to do something, we've had one or two abortive attempts, but really nothing has raised from the ashes.
"Our town centre used to be a place where people went to do their shopping through the day, there were plenty of pubs and clubs to attract in the evenings, but now we seem to have little left of either.
"The focal point of the Cleator Moor bid will be the Chamber of Trade which we are in the process of re-forming, but it has to be a collective effort.
"People with ideas and enthusiasm from all parts of the community are welcome.
"We missed the first tranche, but are pulling out all the stops to get a bid in second time round. It could be our best chance to stop Cleator Moor getting any worse.
"We want to make the town centre a place where people want to come, and there is a good reason for them to come. That is not nearly the case at present," Mr Farrell said.
Next year's government-backed Mary Portas package will carry even greater incentives. This year's £1 million shareout will be on offer again plus another £1 million distributed between locations showing the most creative and effective schemes to revitalise high streets.
There will also be a £500,000 fund for Business Improvement Districts to help town centres access loans for set-up costs.
Whitehaven expects to hear in May whether it will become one of the 12 Mary Portas pilot towns from the 350 or so entered for a prize of £100,000 to aid high street regeneration.

Have your say
Good luck with the bid. I watched the Whitehaven video and I think they've made a big mistake. They've got the remit totally wrong. It makes the place look really nice with nice shops and not in need of any help at all. Maryports video on the other hand makes the town look desperate for help, just as the video should. If I was in the Whitehaven bid I'd pull that video straight away. It'll cost them any further progress.
Sounds like a great idea. Best of luck.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Riot police in Istanbul fired water cannons and tear gas Monday to disperse pockets of protesters on the sidelines of a demonstration called by labor groups who hope to capitalize on weeks of initially small-scale activism to register broader discontent.
The demonstrations were the latest challenge to the Islamic-rooted, conservative government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has drawn scorn abroad for his tactics against peaceful activists in two weeks of protests and exposed fault lines in Turkey's democracy.

As much as I dont like Chael, I do like him as a fighter, and I think he would give GSP a hell of a fight
That is a good fight, but of course Sonnen is a MW.
He would rush GSP, GSP wouldnt be able to get much done standing. I see both of them being able to take the other down. Chael has great takedowns but not the best TDD. It all depends on who gets the takedowns first. It could go either way.
I GET IT! This is a "dream" match because of the likelihood of this being a snoozefest
I hope this post doesn't creep out Sakara=Excitement.
I don't remember a spanking, I remember BJ winning the first fight and GSP getting caught on live TV blatently cheating in the 2nd fight, but way to bring up something totally off topic

I hope this post doesn't creep out Sakara=Excitement.
Anyway, back to topic...
Sonnen is just too big for GSP. GSP may have a better overall skill set but at the end of the day Sonnen is an animal of a wrestler that would have about a 20 pound advantage in weight when they fought. He would take GSP down with little effort and then pound him out until he got a decision or a TKO win.
They are both arguably the best MMA wrestlers in the world but the size difference is too much for GSP to make up.
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -
Ben Askren
I think this might be a better fight than GSP vs Silva honestly (I think Silva destroys GSP) but I'm with pretty much everyone else. Chaels size would be to much for GSP and he takes him down pretty easily here. GSP might hold his own on the feet but I don't see this fight staying there very long.

Donna Weaver, the director of Ashe County's Department of Social Services, appeared before the county's commissioners Monday during their regular meeting to address recent comments by some board members about a lack of understanding of how DSS operates and her concern the comments may have given the public the impression DSS is not operating efficiently
"I was upset by the comments in the papers," said Weaver. "It saddens me that I have to be here in front of you – I've always considered myself as your partner."
While speaking to the commissioners in the almost full boardroom in the county courthouse, Weaver responded mainly to Commissioner Judy Porter Poe's comments about not knowing which DSS programs were mandated.
During the Jan. 7 meeting of the commissioners, Poe made the following statement during a discussion about the possibility of restructuring the department; "DSS has more than a $50 million budget, and as commissioners, we know almost nothing about it."
In responding to Poe's comments, Weaver said, "on April 4, 2011, I spent two and a half hours explaining my budget from top to bottom," said Weaver while holding an armful of reference material about the department, its operations and its finances.
"(And) on March 14, 2012 I went over the budget with Pat Mitchell," said Weaver.
Weaver also said she believed the county commissioners have had plenty of opportunities to learn more about the department, but never sought her out for help.
"Not one of you has asked for training," said Weaver. "The only member of the BOC that ever asked for training was George Yates."
Weaver also said she was more than happy to share her resources and information with the board.
Weaver then offered the commissioners a detailed accounting of the services DSS offers.
All of the programs, she said, are mandated except for adult daycare services, which was approved by the BOC using information provided each year by the state.
Every year on Feb. 15, the state sends to each county DSS what the county can expect in state budget assistance for the upcoming fiscal year. That document, which was 64 pages this year for Ashe County, allows the county to plan for its local social service funding for that fiscal year.
The budget estimates lists all of the programs and points out how much money the state estimates the county will receive for each program.
Each one of the over 30 programs has different matching rates from the federal, state, and county government. The Food and Nutrition Program (food stamps), for example, is funded 100 percent through federal money.
On the other hand, the Special Assistance Program, which provides monies for those eligible for rest home-level care, doesn't receive any federal monies, but receives a 50/50 match between state and county funding.
After the budget packages come to Weaver, she is instructed to give the budget estimates and narrative to the county manager, the county commission chairman and the chairman of the DSS board.
Another resource available to the commissioners is a statute book called "Social Services and Related Laws of North Carolina."
"If you would like one, I will purchase one for you," said Weaver to the BOC.
This book contains all of the statutes that governs social services in North Carolina. Statute 108a.-24, for example, offers detailed information about public assistance programs like food stamps, medicaid, and right to work.
The book also contains all of the responsibilities of the county, DSS director, and DSS board. One of the responsibilities listed for the county says the county "shall" levy sufficient taxes for certain programs.
During Monday's BOC meeting, Weaver explained how much money she has saved the county over the past few years by routinely keeping the Ashe County DSS under budget
Weaver also listed how much money from DSS budgets went unspent over the past six years:
• In the 2006-2007 budget, the DSS recorded $727,849 in unspent monies.
• In the 2007-2008 budget, the DSS recorded $730,328 in unspent monies.
• In the 2008-2009 budget, the DSS recorded $819,860 in unspent monies.
• In the 2009-2010 budget, the DSS recorded $1,152,895 in unspent monies.
• In the 2010-2011 budget, the DSS recorded $1,017,826 in unspent monies.
• In the 2011-2012 budget, the DSS recorded $1,020,274 in unspent monies.
"I don't call that inefficient of ineffective," said Weaver during the meeting. She also said this money the DSS budgeted and didn't use is returned to the BOC each year, and is partially how the BOC has managed to stay solvent during these tough economic times.
After the meeting, Weaver said she has never asked the BOC for additional funding.
"My method of budgeting is very transparent," said Weaver to the BOC.
Part of the transparency is due to a report sent to the commissioners every four months that lets the BOC know all of the expenditures from the DSS.
The discussion during the Jan. 7 meeting of the commissioners was in response to a 2012 state law that allows counties to transfer DSS oversight from its current independent board to the county manager.
Poe added, during the Jan. 7 meeting, "to me, I would like to see it (DSS) put under Dr. (Pat) Mitchell."
During the meeting, Weaver said if the BOC wants to study how other departments in the North Carolina operate, they are free to do that and Weaver would support them.
However, Weaver also warned them not to compare apples to oranges, because each of the 100 counties in North Carolina have different methods of operating social services.
Weaver also wanted to clear the air about how much money Ashe County kicks in to the DSS fund. According to Weaver, the county share is $4 million, not $8 million as originally reported.
"I take my job job quite seriously…I'm an advocate for the people in my county," said Weaver
"I want you to know that I am your partner," said Weaver. She ended her statements to the BOC by saying "I will continue to be your partner…I want it that way."
Once Weaver finished her statements, the commissioners were welcomed to make make comments of their own.
Commissioner Gerald Price reminded Weaver that he didn't make negative comments about the Ashe County DSS during the Jan. 7 meeting.
Price also said "I would like to take your training."
Commissioners Gary Roark and Williams Sands also said they didn't comment during the discussion on Jan. 7.
"I never said you were mishandling the department," said Poe. "Maybe this has gotten run out of context."
Poe reaffirmed the commissioners do not know how the money is spent in the DSS, and also said "I don't remember getting all of the reports." Poe added the BOC has been told in the past they couldn't "touch" the department of social services.
"That doesn't mean you cannot learn about the programs we offer," said Weaver to Poe.
Afterward, Poe said "I agree with Commissioner Price, I would like to take your class."
"I was very pleased to learn that was the opinion of one commissioner rather than a stance from the whole board," said Weaver after the meeting.
Lynda McDaniel, a member of the social services board, also appeared before the Ashe County BOC to comment about Weaver's performance.
"I want to let you know what tremendous faith the board has in Mrs. Weaver," said McDaniel. She also said even though the DSS staff is constantly put under stress, "I am completely stunned by the amount of detail Mrs. Weaver gets in the budget."
BOC Chairman Larry Rhodes agreed with McDaniel. "I don't believe I've ever seen a budget as detailed as Donna's," said Rhodes.

Butter London British Racing Green is similar in color but it has sparse shimmer. Illamasqua Kink is a bit lighter, duller, and has a rubbery finish.

Family-run kitchen celebrates 45 yearsWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
When Harvey Savage Jr. and his father opened the Martin Luther King Kitchen for the Poor, he didn't exactly foresee it'd one day celebrate its 45th anniversary.
"We've survived the 45 years," said Savage Jr., the kitchen's executive director. "It feels surreal because when I think about it. I remember when it started; it seems like it was a short time ago."
The MLK Kitchen, 650 Vance St., opened in April 1969. It will celebrate its 45th anniversary on April 26 with a "Sapphire Soiree." The event is open to the public and will feature a silent auction and music by Tantric Soul.
"There [are] not a lot of organizations, let alone nonprofit organizations, that stay around for that long, especially in this day and age, when there's a need. We have great community support that keeps us around," Executive Board Chair Erica Parrish said.
Parrish added that it's been "phenomenal" to be part of the MLK Kitchen.
"Just to have that access and the opportunity to make an impact in the community where it's needed, it's been a wonderful, rewarding experience," she said.
The kitchen currently serves about 200 people daily, some living in nearby housing units and others who are homeless. In addition to meals, the kitchen distributes boxes with enough food to feed a family three meals a day for three days as well.
The facility has been a family affair of sorts; children of the late Harvey Savage Sr. have dedicated their lives to the kitchen. Savage Sr. died in 2000 and former executive director and daughter Jaunita Savage Person died in 2011.
Savage Jr. thinks of his work as fulfilling his father's legacy. He intended on retiring before taking over the kitchen from his sister.
"It's almost like it was my destiny," he said. "It's kind of out of my hands. It just kind of happened. All of a sudden, I'm here."
Savage Jr. said he's met many people while working at the Kitchen. He said helping the less fortunate is the most rewarding part of his job. One person he used to feed is now a local principal and another is working on his Ph.D.
"We've seen success stories," he said. "What I have continued to see is generation after generation come through in 45 years. We may have fed your mother and father, and now we're feeding you and your kids. I've seen that happen and at one time I got a little depressed about that. My friend talked to me and said, 'Look. Things that have saved my life are places like the kitchen.' … it encouraged me to go on."
The main goal of the facility is not to judge, but to show compassion instead.
"We have a tendency to get judgmental when people are down. We want to be able to treat people with dignity and give them the love that they deserve," he said.
Savage Sr. would be proud of the kitchen's success, Savage Jr. said, and would want the family to continue on being who he helped them become.
"He's always taught us that we should always look out for the less fortunate," he said.
Savage Jr. sees himself working at the kitchen for many years to come. His sister once would joke that the family doesn't quit, they "die out."
Tickets to the event are $30 in advance and $40 at the door. For more information, call and schedule a tour at (419) 241-2596 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Anyone can donate to the shelter through PayPal on the website, www.kitchenforthepoor.org, as well.

Google's automated spell checker is useful and most of the times accurate, but lately some people noticed that the spell checker corrects queries like "she invented" / "she created" / "she discovered" with "he invented" / "he created" / "he discovered". Google analyzes people's queries to come up with the suggestions, so one of the explanation could be that the masculine versions are more frequently used.
Chicago Tribune got an official response from Google: "Google develops its own spell-checking algorithms based on sophisticated machine learning methods, using cues from aggregated user input, Web documents, and many other sources. The algorithm provides a 'best-guess' alternative suggestion that we think might improve the search results, and is completely generated without human input. It can be thought of as a suggestion offer, rather than a definitive answer."

Having owned both an ipad 3 and a nexus 7, I cannot see how google has a shot at apple without making some serious improvements to the app ecosystem and the user experience. I got the nexus 7 to ween the wife away from my iPad, on which I do alot of reading. Within two weeks, she was back to stealing my iPad, so I tried switching over to the 7. I like the form factor, but there is a reason she stole the ipad back. For non-techy people, it is just a much better experience. In fact, though the price of the nexus 7 is only 200$, for someone like her, a 500$ (or 329$ most likely) iPad would be a much better deal, because she would actually use it. That is the problem I see with android tablets at this point. No matter what the price, if it doesn't get used, it is still a waste of money.
I really hope Google gets its game together though. Hopefully they've got something more up their sleeve at the event next week beyond a lower price.

Comments about Ariat Women's Stockman 11" Western Boots:
These are very comfortable, but a little stiffer at first than others I own. I've had these for about 6 months. The only reason I gave it a 4 out 5 stars was because the picture for the driftwood brown clearly shows blue interior and the lighter ariat stockmans. However, when I received them they had a pink interior and were a darker boot. I was very disappointed in this as I hate pink and I wanted the lighter color, but I kept them since they were comfy and I didn't want the hassle of tracking them down and dealing with this issue somewhere else.

Today we're going to make a Petal Pillow. Its very easy, cost me under ten bucks, and took about half an hour to make. Plus it will add lots of summer color (is it summer yet?) to your house.
First you'll need:
-a little over a 1/2 yard of fabric….19 inches to be exact. You can get away with a half yard if you already have it, just cut your pieces to 18" instead of 19". I used home weight fabric from Joann's.
- 1/4 yard felt. Buy the good stuff on the bolt and not the cheap sheets in the kids crafts section. The stuff I used is made from recycled plastic bottles and is really stiff and thick. This felt came on a 60" bolt, but if the bolt is smaller you might want to buy a half yard just to be safe.
- a large and small cup (or other circles) for tracing, a large bowl for tracing, a pen, scissors, and cardstock to make your template.
Trace the rims of your cups onto your cardstock and cut out.
Pin the templates to your felt and cut out circles. I was able to cut 3-4 circles at a time by folding the felt.
Cut out roughly 30 large circles, and 20 small circles. You can always use more or less….but more the merrier I always say.
Now cut your circles in half.
Now your going to cut your fabric into three pieces.
1 large square 19 inches x 19 in. , 1 rectangle 19 in. x 15 in. , and 1 rectangle 19 in. x 12 in.
On the right side of the 19 in. by 19 in. square, trace a bowl or large plate marking a large circle in the middle. Leave 4-5 inches or so around the edges. (my circle is hard to see in the next pic…squint real hard and you'll see it!)
Line up the edge of a large petal along the line you just traced. As you sew the petals on, overlap the petals about a 1/4 inch. Continue sewing around the circle, adding petals.
When you get near where you started, put a petal in between the previous petals, so they overlap. Then you can start putting petals underneath the previous set. I lined up the straight edges of my petals only 1/4 in. or so underneath the previous petals because I liked them packed in there. Again…the more the merrier and the closer they are the better it will look.
If you want extra volume in your petals, you can curve them and fold the edges as you sew to make the petals stand up a little bit. I started curving and bunching them a little bit on the third or fourth row.
After you've done four or five rows of large petals and you're getting close to the center, you can switch to your small petals. Again, as you get closer to the center you can curve and bunch the straight edge of the petals so they stand up a little and look like real petals. When you get to the center add a couple petals that are good and bunched at the bottom for extra volume.
Cut a small circle out of felt about 1 inch, or large enough to cover your edges. Sew down with a few stitches in the center of the flower.
Your done with the hard part…now lets make your pillow.
Finish the short edges (12 inch and 15 inch) of your two back rectangles by folding one side under 1/2" twice and sewing.
Place your pillow front and back pieces right sides together, lining up edges. Put the larger rectangle down first against the flower right sides together, then put your smaller rectangle on top if it, right sides together. Pin well.
Sew around the edges with a 1/2" inch inseam. Because home decor fabric frays easily, serge or do a quick zig zag stitch around the edges. Trim your corners and turn inside out.
Stuff with an 18 inch pillow form and your done! Yay!

He was the 41st President of the United States and only the second to have a son also become President. It's safe to say that George H.W. Bush's life has been very interesting. Now, a new documentary called "41" airs Wednesday night on HBO and shows a personal side to the former President.
Taking the politics out of the mix, writer and director Jeffrey Roth wanted to share the story of the man, not the President.
"You can pull any presidential politcal film off the shelf and what do they throw in there? They throw in cabinet members, family members, friends foes allies, everybody," says Roth. He thought since they had the man, why not ask him to tell the story.
"I just think that's a fascinating way to hear it," shares Roth.
The film includes a tremendous amount of Bush family photos and home movies, some that have never been seen by the public.
Roth had access to the archives at the Bush Library.
"We were able to get into their personal scrapbooks that Barbara has been making since they were 16-17 years old," says Roth.
Those books are kept in one room. In the back hallways of the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum on the campus of Texas A&M University, Bonnie Burlbaw oversees a massive collection. When Roth said he wanted to know the man, not the office, she knew where to look.
"So much of that is reflected here in the scrapbook that {George and Barbara Bush} have been making since they were married," says Burlbaw.
"She's still sending me stuff," laughs Burlbaw.
There are thousands of hours of videos and millions of photographs.
The depth of the collection is mind numbing. Preservation is priority. It's these images and video that take viewers to the core of George Bush.
"He's sort of the quiet president," says Roth.
"He was about getting things done and, therefore, he was never really out trying to sell. Maybe that's why he was a private kind of president."
Roth says he spent about two years talking with the former President.

More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.
- Napoleon Hill
I slump in front of the laptop. I can no longer hide from myself that I have, once again, taken on too many projects. The weight is unbearable as if I am carrying each and every one on my shoulders, evil little imps of doom and despair. They snigger in my ear, their hot, fetid breath on my neck; their constant jeers taunt and tease, my brain rattles and the urge to simply push myself away from the desk, away from my laptop, to drop it all with a resounding thud sweeps over me.
He, on the other hand, continues to take on more and more projects, working like the devil has him by the toes, bewailing every second of spare time he has, no matter how badly he truly needs a break. When he does pause from one of his many activities, he hops and dances around my desk, urging me to pay attention, to join him on a jaunt around town, to alleviate his boredom, satisfy his need for movement.
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider,
every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
- Martin Luther
Photographs of autumn past. A golden glow lighting up the city that fires my imagination. Something unreal, intangible thoughts, elusive emotions lie in the gilded wonder of a city in autumn.
My romantic sensibility is awakened. Golden photographs scattered across my desktop like a handful of jewels tossed across the floor. A fantastic landscape of wonder, a fairytale vision of our everyday, ordinary life.
The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
I love autumn for its glow, its magic. Crisp cool days in a dazzle of sunlight, a flourish of leaves as my feet kick through the carpet of gold, yellow, red. Everything suddenly takes on that resplendent intensity and my own burdens seem lighter, irrelevant in the flush and splendor of fall. A sky of burnished gold welcomes me in the morning. Everyday objects, touched as if by sorcery, blend in with their glorious surroundings as painted on a canvas.
A city on fire, suffused with a luminosity that cannot but draw me out of myself and my own melancholy.
When I feel the burden of winter, or, worse, the dreary limbo in between two seasons when the weather just cannot make up its mind, when more days are blank, gray phantoms, ill defined, obscured behind hazy, dingy dispositions, I return to the golden days of autumn.
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth,
but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
- Leo Tolstoy

Bingo, I've won a husband!
Last updated at 11:42, Thursday, 19 April 2012
LOVE was in the air at a Whitehaven bingo hall when the club hosted its first marriage proposal.
Zoe Nicholson, a regular at Opera Bingo, took home a more valuable prize than she was hoping for when her partner, Ryan O' Pray, made a surprise entrance during the session and asked for her hand in marriage.
Zoe, 23, of Mill Hill, Cleator Moor, was at the bingo session with her aunt and her friends to celebrate her birthday.
She said: "I didn't know anything about it until the bingo announcer said she had a happy birthday message for me. It was my birthday the following day.
"Just after she had said that Ryan walked in."
Plasterer Ryan, 24, bravely got down on one knee in front of 100 bingo players and presented Zoe with a diamond engagement ring, asking her to marry him. Stunned and overjoyed, Zoe immediately accepted to a round of applause and cheers from her fellow bingo players.
Mum-of-two Zoe said: "I was almost crying I couldn't believe it. I'm really pleased.
"Ryan said he had been planning to propose on my birthday but thought it would be funny to do it at bingo. He told my cousin who thought it was a great idea."
The couple, who have a three-year-old girl called Ellie May and a one-year-old boy called Tyler, are going to save up for a few years before they tie the knot.
Zoe extended thanks to Liam McDonald and Jenna Benn for helping to arrange the proposal.
Janet Mingins, assistant manager of Opera Bingo, said: "This is the first time we've had a proposal at the club and staff and customers felt privileged to be part of it."
