About us
Located in Lynn, Massachusetts, Zimman's is the country's leading fine fabric, furniture, lighting and decorative accessories destination. Founded in 1909, and family-owned for three generations, our history is based on a continuing heritage and a willingness to adapt to our customers' needs throughout the changing times. Since our beginning, Zimman's has remained a business based on integrity and honesty, offering our customers the fairest prices for quality merchandise.
The Beginning:
In 1909, operating out of a modest shop in West Lynn, Morris Zimman sought to serve the needs of the newly arrived immigrants who lived in the working class neighborhoods surrounding his store. Merchandise offered included family apparel, shoes, linens, bedding, notions, and - of course - fabric.
As an immigrant himself, Morris knew that the recent immigrants who populated the bustling streets of West Lynn at the turn of the century needed inexpensive, but durable clothing and household goods as they worked to make new lives for themselves in their new country. Morris soon acquired a reputation among the residents of West Lynn for offering quality merchandise at reasonable prices. This reputation, along with Morris' ability to speak six languages, brought him a steady stream of customers (many of whom had not yet learned to speak English) and his small store prospered.
In 1915, Morris married Anna Abrams, who joined him in running the business, quickly endearing herself to their customers with her genuine concern for their well-being. As Morris and Anna's four sons grew up, they worked in the store after school and on weekends.
Surviving the Great Depression:
During the Depression in the 1930s, Morris and Anna decided that they had to give their loyal customers even more value for their hard-earned dollars. Morris began attending auction sales of bankrupt businesses and the merchandise he purchased - everything from barrels of pickled herring to men's dress shirts - began showing up in the store, much to Anna's amazement. But the savings Morris realized (by buying goods off-price) and passed along to his customers, enabled the business to survive the Depression while many others fell by the wayside.
The 2nd Generation of Zimman's, Zimman's the Department Store:
In 1946, after returning from naval service during WWII, Barry Zimman, one of Morris and Anna's sons, decided to join the business full-time. He was captivated by the excitement generated in the store. The country's growing prosperity and the opportunity it presented to cater to peoples' pent-up post war demand for quality goods kept business booming. But it was time to put a youthful twist on the business.
Barry noted that the customers now generally knew what they wanted and that it would be more efficient if they could select their own goods rather than waiting for a clerk to help them. Taking its cue from the new self-service grocery stores that were beginning to appear, Zimman's soon opened one of the first self-service department stores in New England in 1948, just a few doors away from its current downtown Lynn location. With the business growing and in need of larger quarters, Zimman's moved into its present building in 1957, carrying a full line of men's, women's, and children's apparel along with furniture, household goods, and - of course - fabric.
Barry and his wife, Phyllis, managed the growing self-service store, assisted by their five sons, and the concept succeeded well for a generation. But with the development of suburban shopping malls and the difficulty of traffic in downtown areas, urban department stores soon saw their customers dwindling. Zimman's did not escape this fate, so it was time for another change.
The 3rd Generation of Zimman's, Zimman's Today:
Michael Zimman, one of Barry and Phyllis' sons, joined the business in the early 1970s, a few years after graduating from college. An art major in school, Michael had an interest in design and an eye for color. Realizing that home decorating was a growing trend, Zimman's soon began to expand its offerings in decorating textiles and home accessories while closing down its other departments. As the business transitioned from a full-line department store to a fabric and home-decorating store over the next decade, word spread that Zimman's offered a selection of decorative fabrics unparalleled in New England, if not the entire East Coast.
In 1997, after ten years of steady growth and a burgeoning inventory of decorative fabrics from around the world, Zimman's opened its new and striking home furnishings emporium. Under Michael's direction, this department features a distinctive selection of furniture, wall hangings, lamps, rugs, mirrors, and home accessories ranging from traditional to contemporary in design.
Now in its tenth decade and third generation of family management, Zimman's still remains true to its founder's formula for success: knowledgeable customer service, quality goods, and reasonable prices.
With thousands of textiles from mills around the world, Zimman's features a tremendous scope of fabrics at a remarkable value. Zimman's also offers endless options in home decorating with custom upholstered furniture, allowing customers to choose from the unparalleled selection of fabrics to create a sofa or chair that is truly unique. Our knowledgeable interior consultants are ready to inspire you, to help you discover your creativity, and to encourage you to make the most of your personal style.

The Swans claimed a 3-2 victory over Arsenal in the Premier League last January and followed that up with a 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium in December thanks to Michu's double.
"The win last season was amazing and was fully deserved," said Monk.
"It was one of the landmark games of the first season and gave us a lot of confidence that we could perform in the Premier League, although this game is in the Cup we will take that into Sunday.
"It was a fantastic win at the Emirates as well, but that was also very deserved and that's the point we are trying to make.
"We played well for 90 minutes and it was a professional performance, but we know the FA Cup is going to be something different.
"We want to get the job done in 90 minutes and I think it will be a different game from the one at the Emirates because they've been on a decent run of form since then.
"But it does make a difference when you play these sides week in, week out.
"When you are a lower league club there is a bit more of the unknown but everybody is an established Premier League player now so it is a little less daunting.
"It's one to look forward to as a player and a big plus for us is that it's at home in front of our own supporters."

Re: Songs
Well, first off, Geoffrey Williams is in fact the name of a UK singer/songwriter who wrote several pop songs that made the charts in the last 30 years. So at least he has some experience and isn't like these people on ExpertVillage or something.
The next thing I look at is the testimonials. He's got two or three testimonials from actual performers who give links to their pages, one would assume with music on them. This is perhaps the best acid test of all. Go listen to those people's songs. If they all sound like utterly dreadful crap, then it's obvious that Mr. Williams is just trying to throw a spanner in potential competitors' works.
Then do some brutal self-evaluation of you - your background, your skills, your ambitions, and your ideas. Do you have the general understanding of music to write a catchy hook and something compelling-sounding, on piano, keys, or guitar? One can compose on other instruments, of course, but I would recommend one of these. How about your lyrical skill? Where is that at? My point about this is, the book probably won't make up for any weaknesses you might have in these areas.
Where books like these do shine is to give you a better understanding about why songwriters do certain things they do, examined against the realities of the music business and the listening public. You probably know what you like about the music you like, if you think about it, and likewise you can tell someone what you don't like about a song you hate. That should shape your songwriting.
In the end, I think this book might give you a lot of insight and ideas, but there are a lot of ways towards writing songs, and I would be very surprised if you couldn't find as much inspiration, advice, or ideas in other ways (internet, songwriting workshops, college courses, interviews, etc) without paying the cost of this book package.

I was very fortunate to be able to attend Barbara Bush's Celebration of Reading event this past Thursday. Many members of the Bush family attended and George W. Bush read excerpts from his book, "Decision Points." I enjoyed all of the authors there that evening and especially look forward to reading "Picking Cotton," by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino and Ronald Cotton. Water for Elephants author Sara Gruen was also supposed to be there, but she fell ill.
For this event, I wore my new lace dress from White House Black Market that I got on sale at the outlet for under $40.
Belt- J.Crew
Shoes- Me Too @ DSW
I opted for comfy clothes because I literally woke up from a nap, threw them on and went to the concert. I was up at 3am Friday morning WATCHING THE ROYAL WEDDING, so you can imagine I was exhausted. I can't even blog about that right now because I am still stunned by the whole thing and need time to gather my thoughts. SO amazing.
Jeans- GAP "Always Skinny"
Necklace- F21
Flats- J. Crew
Shorts- AE Boyfriend Shorts
Shoes- Steve Madden Fantasik
More posts to come...still recovering from Royal Wedding tiredness. It was ALL WORTH IT though to watch it all live.
Happy weekend everyone!!!

The latest Gorilla Glass glass composite from American company Corning will be showcased at CES 2013 in Las Vegas next week
The latest iteration of Corning's glass composite is, according to the manufacturer, three times tougher than the previous generation used in the likes of the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
The company will also be using the Consumer Electronics Show to reveal its latest fibre optic technology for device-to-device connectivity.
"These new innovations build on the increasingly important and continually evolving role of highly engineered glass technologies in delivering improved product performance and functionality through touch capabilities, protective cover glass, and device connectivity," said Wendell P. Weeks, chairman, CEO and president of Corning in a statement on the company's website.
Gorllia Glass 3 will reportedly show 40 per cent less scratches than the earlier version and boast 50 per cent better shock resistance.
Currently Gorilla Glass is the go-to material for premium smartphone and tablet displays. The glass undergoes a chemical strengthening process where potassium ions are compressed into a layer onto the surface to create stronger durability.
The new version of Gorilla Glass is just one more thing we've got to look forward to at CES next week. For more information on the show, check out our round up of the top CES 2013 rumours, leaks and updates.

Aug. 7, 2008
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- New Mexico women's soccer will kick off the season with a strong cast of returning players as well as the addition of several talented young newcomers. The Lobos will battle the heat and compete for 11 starting positions when UNM start two-a-day practices this Sunday.
After obtaining their third straight winning season in a row with eight wins in each season, the Lobos road ahead looks very bright. New Mexico will return seven starters and welcome 16 newcomers as it chases as its first Mountain West Conference title. The Lobos will see their first action of the season on Aug 15 at 1 p.m. as they face off against each other in the Inaugural Cherry-Silver match.
With growing expectations and their eyes on the NCAA Tournament, the Lobos are inspired to return to the MWC Tournament. They plan to put their best foot forward and continue the tradition of winning and excellence at the University of New Mexico.
"This will be an exciting and dynamic group," said head coach Kit Vela. "We have a great nucleus and an outstanding freshman class coming in. I expect great things from this group above wins and losses. They're a really fun team to watch with a lot of really good soccer personalities."
New Mexico returns five forwards this season. Senior Hannah Hand is every goal scorers best friend as she had seven assists a season ago and is rising up the UNM career assist ladder. Katie McKernan and Kate Wyrick will bring experience to the table while Asha Richardson will look to compete for playing time.
Incoming freshman Jennifer Williams will provide speed along the flank and set up opportunities for the Lobos to get shots on goal. Her aggressive style will be matched by her finesse with the ball and ability to find her teammates down the field. Other freshman forwards that will be in the mix are Natalie Jenks, Roxie McFarland, Alexandra Wodka and Jordan Craig.
"Hannah Hand could have a break out senior season," Vela said. "Kate Wyrick and Katie McKernan are really good players. Jennifer Williams I think is going to be very good. We have a really good dynamic with those four plus coming in that are going to make a difference. Natalie Jenks, Alexandra Wodka, Roxie McFarland and Jordan Craig will all contribute and provide us with extra weapons."
The Lobos' midfield will return three letterwinners in Rachel Fields who saw action in nine matches, Veronika Strnadova who saw playing time in 16 matches and returning starter Kaci Paetz. Paetz, a senior, will lead a young group of midfielders on the field. Paetz saw action in all 17 games last year and logged 1,582 minutes. Sophomore sensation Alexis Ball returns after having a storybook freshman season as she lead the team in points, goals and shots.
"Our midfield is going to be outstanding," said Vela. "We are going to have an outstanding group, but we are just going to be very young. We return Kaci Paetz, Alexis Ball, Veronika Strandova and Rachel Fields. We are bringing in the best group of freshmen midfielders hands down that we have ever seen. With Amanda Collins, Nicole Reed, Zaneta Wyne, Janelly Farias, Gianna Cavuoto and Jael Fanning we will just have to see how fast they acclimate to this level of play."
The heart of the team will be the defense as the Lobos return four letterwinners, including senior Samantha Bevis who saw action in all 17 games last season, led the team in minutes played and even managed to put two balls in the back of the net from her defender position. Senior Krista Peterson started all 17 games and logged 1,477 minutes and even chipped in an assist. Sophomore Megan Bodenheimer has already seen more playing time than many. Logging 1,600 minutes, Bodenheimer started every game as a redshirt freshman. Sophomore Elizabeth Lambert, who saw action in four games last season, will look to contend for more playing time.
"Our starting back four are excellent," Vela said. "We are a little lean in experience. We've got five players coming back in Sami Bevis, Megan Bodenheimer, Krista Peterson, Liz Lambert and Kerrin Stephan. We are bringing in another four defenders with the Carpenter twins, Courtney and Megan who are very athletic, Erin O'Brien and Aubrey Grier. It's a very young group. They're all athletic. We'll just have to see who fits in first."
Returning in goal is senior Shannon Adragna who is in her final season as a Lobo and will leave her mark on the UNM record book. Adragna ranks in the top five in five different UNM career records including wins (5th), ties (2nd), saves (5th) and shutouts (T-3rd). Incoming freshman Kelli Cornell will be baptised by fire as she will be the lone backup for Adragna. However, Cornell should be up to the task.
"Shannon Adragna is back for her senior season and I think she can have an unbeleivable senior year," said Vela. "Kelli Cornell is an underated keeper coming out of California. With the training we have here the sky is the limit for Kelli."
New Mexico will have 16 newcomers in Cherry and Silver this fall. Junior transfer Jess Quador will have an immediate impact as she is a versatile player who can play almost anywhere on the field. With the addition of 15 incoming freshmen, including Courtney Carpenter, Megan Carpenter, Gianna Cavuto, Amanda Collins, Kelli Cornell, Janelly Farias, Jael Fanning, Aubrey Grier, Natalie Jenks, Roxie McFarland, Erin O'Brien, Nicole Reed, Jennifer Williams, Alexandra Wodka and Zaneta Wyne, depth is a key component to the program.The 16 newcomers is the biggest class and maybe the best class to wear the Cherry and Silver for UNM.
"This is the most talented and deepest group of kids we have ever brought in," Vela said. "We are bringing in depth to every position and talent. This is by far the biggest and most eager group assembled."
New Mexico opens the season at Denver on Aug. 22 before coming home on Aug. 24 to face Northern Arizona in the home opener at 1 p.m. All the home games for UNM will be available on gametracker and live video through all access on www.GoLobos.com.

I think (but I am not certain since he should normally wear a black turban, signifying that he is a direct descendant of the Prophet) that this one represents the second Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who's been holding the position since the death of Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989.

SACRAMENTO (AP) - A federal court official in California is
asking a judge to seize 8 billion dollars from the state's treasury
to improve health care at California overcrowded prisons.
Court-appointed receiver Clark Kelso says the money will be
needed over the next five years to build medical units for 10,000
sick or mentally ill inmates.
He's also asking the judge to hold Governor Arnold
Schwarzenegger and the state controller in contempt of court if
they don't allocate the money soon.
Federal courts have declared the health-care system in
California state prisons so poor that it violates inmates' rights.
Kelso was tasked with supervising the reform effort. The state
controller says he can't act without a court order or legislative
Meanwhile, the state assembly minority leader questions how the
state can justify spending so much on inmate medical care "when
hardworking taxpayers can't even get health care."
Kelso's request comes as lawmakers are trying to cope with
California's current 15.2-billion-dollar deficit.

Hunters looking to pursue deer with firearms that harken back to a different time will have their chance, Oct. 12-18, during the week-long primitive weapons deer hunting season.
During last year's primitive weapons season, more than 45,000 hunters took home more than 10,500 deer representing about three percent of Georgia's total deer harvest.
Youth under 16 years of age may hunt deer with any legal deer firearm Oct. 12-18, including during any wildlife management area primitive weapons hunt.
During primitive weapons season, hunters may use archery equipment, muzzleloading shotguns, and muzzleloading firearms to pursue whitetails.
Hunters are allowed a season bag limit of 10 antlerless deer and two antlered deer (one of the two antlered deer must have a minimum of four points, one inch or longer, on one side of the antlers).
To pursue deer in Georgia, hunters must have a valid hunting license, big game license and a current deer harvest record.
Licenses can be purchased online at www.gohuntgeorgia.com/licenses-permits-passes , by phone at 1-800-366-2661 or at a license agent (list of agents available online).

Preacher Vol. 7: Salvation
by Garth Ennis, Steve Dillon (Illustrator)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Reeling from the sight of Tulip and Cassidy together, Jesse finds himself in the town of Salvation, where he is visited by his past and also has to contend with the oddball villain, Odin Quincannon, who has an unhealthy fascination with meat and meat by-products. After that, Jesse also gets some answers about what happened in Monument Valley, and we get another Vietnam story about Jesse's dad. Each issue makes you want to keep on reading more.
Ah, yes, Jessie's attempt at law...
Deadwood = Preacher, tv style? This is what happens here, pretty much. New sheriff in town, corrupt business types, etc., etc. Sherlock Holmes had something to say about small country towns and nowheresville type places.
There is an evil meat baron, and corrupt cop, a dominatrix accountant, a one armed relative, and a good looking deputy. So of course Jesse ends up with the sheriff job by default, and a whole pile of problems come with it.
After the events of War in the Sun, Jesse Custer needs to take some time out to lick his wounds and try to remember just what exactly happened and why his fall from an airplane apparently didn't kill him. He drifts into the town of Salvation, Texas, and in short order finds himself made sheriff and standing off against Odin Quincannon, the local meat baron who runs the town. Great stuff -- as always, this is by turns ludicrous, hilarious, and heartwrenching.

In the wake of the apocalyptic events in Preacher: War in the Sun, the Reverend Jesse Custer's quest to find an absentee God takes an unexpected detour, one which leads down a backwater road to the godforsaken town of Salvation!

But there's no rest for the good or the wicked in Salvation, a small town with a lot of very big secrets, as Custer soon discovers.… (more)

What Do Clients Discover When They Google Photographers?
Posted By John P. Chapnick On August 21, 2007 @ 10:00 pm In Business of Photography | 1 Comment
Today's photographers put a huge amount of effort into creating and displaying their portfolios. Whereas once the sole challenge was to build a collection of outstanding images, today there's the added need to showcase these images on beautifully designed Web sites, often with slideshows and accompanied by descriptive text.
That's understandable. If Black Star tells a client that we've got a photographer who would be perfect for a job, we expect that the first thing the client will do is check that photographer's Web site.
And we wouldn't be surprised if the second thing the client does is Google the photographer's name.
The client is obviously going to be happier if he or she can feel that this is a photographer who not only produces excellent photos, but also can be trusted and relied on. Clients don't just assess images when they hand out assignments; they also assess reputations.
That's where things start to get tricky. You can control all of the information that appears on your portfolio, but what turns up on Google is in the hands of anyone who's ever met you, heard of you, worked with you or seen your images.
For some people, this can be a problem. You might not be ashamed of anything you've ever done, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you'd want a client to know about everything you've ever done. And that's assuming that everything about you that can be churned up by a quick Google search is true.
An article in the Washington Post [2] back in July discussed what people can do to make sure that their online reputations aren't held at ransom by either malicious opponents or by elements of their distant past that they'd rather forget. Many of the people the article cited were lobbyists and politicians — but freelance photographers are at least as vulnerable to people Googling their names.
Politicians, after all, only have to worry about their reputations at election time; photographers have to think about their reputations every time they're up for a job with a new client.
The Washington Post referred to companies like ReputationDefender [3] and Naymz [4], but their services can run as high as $10,000 — a small amount if you're running for public office, but a fair hit for most photographers. And I suspect that much of what these companies do, most people could do for themselves if they were prepared to put in the effort of launching Web sites and optimizing them.
Essentially, what online reputation management firms do is find ways to push positive items to the top of your search results, so that anything negative is buried and unlikely to be seen. This is an effective approach, because research shows that very few Web searchers look past the first two or three pages of results when conducting a search.
A good starting point for managing your online identity is to look at those first few pages of search results when you enter your name. Are there criticisms or other negative items you wish weren't there?
In some cases, you may find an unintended factual error that you can correct simply by contacting the Web site in question. There are also plenty of things you can do to create positive items and push those positive items higher in your results. I'll offer some specific recommendations for photographers in a future post.

I totally agree with you about the importance of representing yourself professionally when people search your name.
There is a new service called [5] that aims exactly to that niche. The basic service is free, and the paid service with enhanced web presence costs less than $8 a month. You can check it out if you like

i'll make this request and hope that someone just suggests a util that already does this - or a better method of what i'm describing.
i tend to make a 'new folder' and throw the things into it that i'm currently working on - kind of like a quick temp folder to isolate a few files from a bunch of others.
the important thing is speed - i'm only using this folder temporarily (perhaps) and i just want to get things done quickly so i don't rename the new folder - i just leave it as 'new folder'.
this is fine, except for when there are several, possibly hundreds, of other folders at the same level of the 'new folder'. the problem is when using software and browsing to the 'new folder' i have to scan through the list of other folders until i get to 'N' for 'new folder'. perhaps i'm making a big deal out of nothing but if the 'new folder' was a different colour, i.e. now yellow, then i wouldn't have to scan through all the other folders looking for 'N', instead i'd just look for the different colour.
an alternative would be for windows to name a new folder '! New Folder' with the ! at the front so that the newly created folder appeared first in the list of other folders - thereby making it simple to find.
i appreciate this is long winded. in fact, this is kind of insane, i've just spent more time writing this than it will take for me to manually input the '!' character into the 'new folder' name field when it is created. okay, fine, i'll go and bang my head against the wall for a few minutes.

Good morning,
Thank you for all the c &c's and especially to Prabhas (prabhusinha), Uma (Ukgubbi) and Carol (Caziwinkles) for their UA's, I was chuffed.
Today I have a few vultures for you.
Vultures are the ultimate recyclers- able to strip a carcass in just a few hours, they keep the environment clean and disease free.
Vultures are known for their very strong stomach acids which can destroy bacteria, including cholera and anthrax, that would prove deadly to many other species.
They also carry special antibodies to help them tackle botulism toxins that even if the illness killed their prey, the vultures can eat it without negative effects.
The Cape vulture is found mainly in South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia. The average length is about 96-115cm with a wingspan of 2.26-2.6m and a weight of 7-11kg.
They are the largest raptor in Africa. Their species is listed as Vulnerable, the major problems it faces is poisoning and powerline electrocution. Vultures only lay one egg a year. A vulture can eat upto 1kg of meat in a sitting.
The last version is to show you how high in the sky they circle looking for kills. V1 is not pin sharp, but want to show you what they look like close up. These were taken on a windy dark overcast morning. All my wild life images are handheld.
have a nice day....

Great series. Love the grumpy looking fellow on v1. What is he thinking? 'there she is again, clicking away. pesky photographers' LOL
That green esp in v4 is superb, hats up for ur photography skill.
A truly wonderful set Colleen! Love the write up, very interesting.
Terrific photography!!!
A very good and interesting series Colleen. Not the most attractive of birds but designed to do a job and they do it very well indeed.
I love vultures. I became very fond of them in Guine-Bissau. Just as well, as they would sit on our back fence and stare at us. The Guineans say they are the souls of their deceased loved ones and would never harm them.
They are not very beautiful up close but in the sky they are superb.
Actually this little fellow is cute, I bet his mother loves him anyway.
Hand held? My way too. Tripods are a nuisance, good, but a nuisance. Your images certainly don't need them and perhaps an elephant or lion would not appreciate your setting up a tripod to take their portraits.
Very interesting writing to complement these amazing images Colleen.
A marvellous set of images Colleen, all of them are super, but V5 is particularly special, very well done
A set of really interesting images
Cant imagine any other way of taking a photo rather than handheld
Thats where the excitement of photography is for me
and yes ... lots of blurred images
Pleased to make it 30 for this fine set Colleen,
Great set of images V1 and 5 are my favorite.
Great write up for this great set of images Colleen, nice touch with the vultures circleing(V7) and great in flight capture in V5
Some lovely captures in this seven. Your setting are consistent and the Spot metering seems to work well with them settings. Well done Colleen.
Not something we see around here in Wakefield! I caught part of a documentary on TV 2 or 3 days ago about vultures, and they seemed to do a lot of squabbling over their food, even though there was plenty to go at! Great set, Colleen, with V1 being my fave
Strange to think of vultures as being endangered, Learned something new today thanks to you, Colleen. #! is the best to lead with - looks as if he wasn't in a very good mood!
Beautiful and very useful members of nature's clean up brigade very nicely captured. I'm torn between 3 & 5 as a favourite.
Stunning set of images, Colleen. I think your beautiful images and narrative have encapsulated perfectly, the essence of this intelligent (and much maligned) animal who are, like sharks are the ultimate evolutionary success story. I didn't realise that the species only lays one egg. However, I heard on the TV that both parents are needed to raise their offspring, otherwise, the chance of it surviving is less than 50%.
I think vultures are beautiful, and you have captured all the iconic images of them here. Wonderful set - very well thought out.
A terrific set of images of natures refuse collectors, I must catch up later with that documentary Rob has mentioned as I was out at the time.

COLUMBIA CITY — A 150-year-old legacy was recognized by the state of Indiana recently.
Henry Hiner purchased the homestead located at 10418 S. Washington Rd. Columbia City in April of 1863.
Fast forward approximately 150 years — the Hiner-Geeting-Ware farm was recognized by the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. A Hoosier Homestead Award was presented to Deloris Ware, 83, who currently resides in the family home where she was born.
"My mom and dad drove the horses for the farm," Ware said. "It was survival of the fittest. If you didn't work, you didn't eat."
At the Indiana State Fair, recognition is paid to those farms that have been in the family for an extended period of time.
Ware's farm was applauded for the 150 years it remains in the family.
"This means a lot," Ware said. "I'm very proud that our family has had this place. It means we have roots here. Our family helped shape this area."
Ware comes from a heritage that knows its legacy.

Android wouldn't have gained so much market dominance without Samsung's Galaxy line, and that Galaxy lineup wouldn't exist without Android. Surely these two would enjoy a long, peaceful relationship for the foreseeable future, right? Maybe not. Samsung is reportedly looking at launching several phones running Tizen instead of Android in 2013. Now, this isn't weird for Samsung, as they do have other phones running Bada, although they don't have the success Android does, but if Tizen does well enough (IT news)

Superior shoe
Hands down my favorite climbing shoe I have ever worn. Its edging is superior. It's heel is excellent. And it feels good. It sizes pretty true to your street shoe. Being lace up you can wear it a little more comfortably or tighten down and get that precision fit that you expect out of a high performance shoe. As long as this shoe is around, it will be in my quiver.

Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2011 Volkswagen CC !
The Volkswagen CC is a sedan that shares a platform with the Volkswagen Passat but adds style, power, and luxury features. It's available with a 4- or 6-cylinder engine, and for 2011 Volkswagen has made slight changes to the list of standard features on its various trims.
The 2011 Volkswagen CC is offered in five trim levels. The entry-level CC 2.0T Sport trim features 17-inch alloy wheels, leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, automatic climate control, automatic headlights, fog lights, power accessories, Bluetooth connectivity, and an 8-speaker sound system. The CC 2.0T Lux trim steps up to 18-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, sunroof, and front and rear park assist. The CC 2.0T Lux Plus and the Lux Limited trims add various other features, including a sunroof, rearview camera, and bi-xenon headlights. The CC VR6 4Motion Executive trim is the top of the line, and includes leather sport seats, more safety features, more powerized accessories, and an upgraded sound system.
Standard power plant for the 2011 Volkswagen CC with front-wheel drive is a 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that delivers 22 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard on the Sport trim. An automated manual transmission is standard on the Luxury trim and optional on the Sport. The all-wheel-drive VR6 Executive trim features a 280-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine that delivers 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The V-6 engine works with a conventional 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shifters.
Standard safety features on the 2011 Volkswagen CC include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, hill-hold assist, stability control, traction control, active front side air bags, and side curtain air bags. In government crash tests, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gave the CC 4 (out of 5) stars for front-impact protection, 5 stars for front-passenger side protection, and 4 stars for rear-passenger side protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the CC highest-possible "Good" ratings in frontal-offset, and rear- and side-impact crash tests.
Starting MSRPs for the 2011 Volkswagen CC range from just over $28,000 to almost $40,000.

Gear Review
almighty bagy
Poor design, but ok
Shorts look great and are light. However, Louis Garneau clearly doesn't test their product. The fit of the inner short is totally off and they use a very abrasive stitching material right over the knee and lower thigh... Like these doesn't move when you're biking! Any test ride would have reveal these flaws... So I'm disappointed with my purchase especially at this price point and the BS in the description. Ignore these, buy something from a cie that actually ride mountain bikes!

Two doubles and a walk set up Bolt with the bases loaded and no outs in the fifth. Bolt singled in a run and designated hitter Price Paramore hit a sacrifice fly, giving the Falcons a 5-1 lead. Paramore tripled and scored on a single from third baseman Austin Ferreria extending the lead to five.
The Lobos fought back in the ninth, putting three runs on the board with two outs behind two doubles from sophomore Jordan Pacheco and junior Jay Russell.
Hollick led New Mexico at the plate, going 3-for-4 with two runs and a RBI while Russell went 3-for-5 with two RBI. Bolt was 2-for-4 with four RBI and a run while Matt Ghigna and Geno Salazar were 2-for-3 with one and two runs scored, respectively.

Amanda Berry, right, hugs her sister Beth Serrano after being reunited in a Cleveland hospital Monday May 6, 2013. Berry and two other women were found in a house near downtown Cleveland Monday after being missing for about a decade.
(AP) CLEVELAND - A judge says the name of a girl fathered by a Cleveland man who held her mother captive for a decade will be deleted from the public court record.
The decision by Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Common Pleas Judge Michael Russo involves the daughter of kidnapper Ariel Castro and one of his three victims, who gave birth on Christmas 2006. The Plain Dealer (http://bit.ly/14CROsR ) reports the prosecutor asked to have the child's name deleted from court records to protect her privacy.
The child's mother, Amanda Berry, kicked out the door of Castro's house in May and yelled for help, freeing herself, the 6-year-old girl and two other women. DNA evidence confirmed that Castro was the girl's father.
The 53-year-old Castro pleaded guilty in July. He committed suicide in prison Sept. 3.

There's already a consensus around Green Day's new disc, 21st Century Breakdown. Critics and journalists who have a spent time with it say it's the band's most ambitious album yet – and better still, they say the guys completely pull off all their experiments.
The punk trio has come a long way since the days of Dookie. The new record has massive guitar flourishes and elements of classic rock guiding its action.
"I think the music is very linear and it takes you on a ride … but it all connects," Billie Jo Armstrong told MTV news, "I've always said if you're going to write a political song, it's gotta come from the same places that you'd write a love song," Armstrong said. "But I think the record has these ebbs and flows and it has these dynamics to it. You go from a song like 'Christian's Inferno,' which is the most hateful song I've ever written ? the most diabolic. And then there's a song like 'Last Night on Earth,' which is like that soul-crushing sort of love moment and, you know, one right after the other, so I think that kind of represents what the record is about in a lot of ways."
If you want to hear their wildly anticipated disc a full week before it hits the stores on May 15, make sure to be here this Friday: We're streaming the entire CD.
Get a taste by blasting the "Know Your Enemy" video, above. Check all the band's music videos right here.

Since her return to performing, Bass has guest-starred on albums by the World Saxophone Quartet and tenor saxophonist David Murray, and she has put out several solo recordings, including the Grammy-nominated releases No Ways Tired (1995), a gospel album, and 2001's Travellin', which showcased the Voices of St. Louis concept for the first time. In addition to royalty checks, Bass has also received some long overdue honors, getting a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame in 2000 and a Pioneer Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in 2001.
Despite her stellar past, Bass is focused on the present and future. "We're just trying to keep St. Louis alive for the younger folks and let them know there was music here before Nelly," she says with a throaty chuckle. Bass' band features several well-known local musicians, including her brother David Peaston on vocals and the Bosman Twins, Dwayne and Dwight, on saxophones, flutes and clarinets. The family connection continues with Bass' son-in-law Tracy Mitchell, who plays guitar, and her "baby boy" Bonhamous Bowie on keyboards. Drummer Curtis Fondren and bass player Lincoln Calvin round out the ensemble. (Pianist Ptah Williams, who has toured and recorded with the group, is unavailable for the Sheldon concert, so Bass will play piano.)
"We travel all over the world," Bass says, ticking off an itinerary that this year includes music festivals in France and Italy and an upcoming week in Istanbul, Turkey. Her European popularity also received an additional boost last year thanks to her guest vocal on "All That You Give," a hit release by the UK dance music group Cinematic Orchestra. Composers/ producers J. Swinscoe and Phil France sought out Bass after hearing the reissue of Les Stances A Sophie. "They flew in to St. Louis from London and we recorded at Four Seasons," says Bass. "They were just like little crazy babies. We enjoyed each other. They were amazed at my age, and I was encouraging them to keep doing what they do."
In addition to performing the expected blues, soul, jazz and gospel, the Voices have worked up a version of "All That You Give," and Bass has no qualms about moving freely between so many different styles. "Music is music," she says. "If you get some changes to a blues, you're supposed to be able to read the changes. That's the purpose of music -- to be creative and versatile. We do ballads, we do blues, we do many, many things. That's what makes it fun -- when you work with great musicians, you get an opportunity to get their feel.
"Even if I could retire, I don't think I ever would," she concludes. "Music keeps me going. You have your ups and downs in life. I'm happier than some, I believe, from just having that much knowledge of the music and being able to use it."
