A few months ago we got the news that we are adding one more to our little party. The new addition has RSVPd for November 10, 2015 and we can't wait to welcome him or her to our family!
If you know me, you know I like to celebrate the tiniest of moments. Sharing the news that we are having our second child feels like just the right type of thing to celebrate! I've struggled with the fact that the second pregnancy doesn't feel as special to me as the first one did. I'm just as happy about it, just as excited for baby number two, but if feels a little less celebrated none-the-less. It became important to me to make sure I took a little time to celebrate the news of this baby. Of course, we are saving our pennies for the second baby (we know how expensive these things are now!), so didn't want to do anything over-the-top, but still wanted to celebrate the new addition.
I partnered with Kohl's to help me celebrate baby number two. Kohl's is currently striving to be top of mind for families as they celebrate the special moments in life, big or small, together. Their current goal to help be present in the everyday and the extra special moments in life made me very excited to see how they could help me celebrate my second baby. I already love Kohl's and shop there often. The deals that they offer are hard to beat, and I can find something for the entire family in one shopping trip.
Kohl's helped us celebrate in a variety of different ways! I knew I'd be able to find the men in the family some clothes for the party, but what I didn't know is that they also carried baby items, housewares AND maternity wear! The items we found at Kohl's included:
The best part is that I was able to get all of the above items with a savings of nearly 50% off if I had gotten them all at full price. It made our money go further, which is more important than ever right now!
You know me… no party is complete without free printables! Click the items below to download and print off your own celebration!
Thank you to Kohl's for sending me a gift card to explore how your products could help me celebrate a life event. I've been a fan of Kohl's for some time and spent my own money as well as the gift card. All opinions are my own. Thank you to readers for supporting the companies that help support this blog.
Going out is great on New Year's Eve… well, great if you like long lines, high costs, and crowds. For people who enjoy bringing the fun home this idea is perfect.
I was excited to get to work with Kelsey from Ladies in Navy, Suzannah from Create-Enjoy and local photographer Mary Boyden on a New Year's Eve party styled shoot.

This post is the last post in my series of the 12 Days of Christmas DIYs for A Well Crafted Party. There are lots of free printables! (Check out my last post in this series: "Wine Gift Tag Free Printables") Even though I'm done with my 12 Christmas DIYs… I'm not done bringing fun things to the blog! I've got some NYE items up (including free party printables) and more holiday beverages to enjoy!
I work in an office. This time of year the colds start passing from one cubicle to the next. In addition, there is a whole table full of sweet treats in the break room that is HARD to resist. So, when thinking about the ideal affordable, but still welcome co-worker gift I wanted to do something that would encourage a healthful holiday and new year.
These co-worker or neighbor gifts are super affordable and can be filled with whatever you find handy. I bought three little honey containers from Trader Joes for less than $7, a box of tea and some citrus fruit to make these little gifts. After wrapping in cellophane and wrapping in a bow I topped it with a printable tag. Yes, I like printables. 😉

Korean War vet guest speaker at West Central
By Rich Holm
Contributing Writer
When West Central hosts its Veterans Day program on Nov. 11, the school's guest speaker will be one of its own, 1948 grad Bob Bergman.
As a teenager Bob wanted to "see the world," so he joined the Navy in March 1949 and served four years, first in Alaska on the Aleutian Islands, and then his final three years in the Philippines. He earned the rank of second class petty officer.
Bob said, "I was proud to serve and do my part. After my enlistment I was assigned to the Seabees, in which I did air base maintenance in Alaska before building airfields in the Pacific."
Bob took advantage of the GI Bill after his service and earned his BA degree from the University of Iowa before coming home to help at the local locker.
Bob's dad, Albert, ran the Maynard Locker. Bob's mother, Dorthea (Nugent), had another son, Kenneth. Both he and his younger brother, Bob, served in the military at the same time.
"Mom was especially proud of her family serving Uncle Sam," said Bob, who is now 83.
Bob would marry Regina Kissner. They met at an earlier wedding when her sister married Bob's good friend, Dick Bartels. Bob and Regina exchanged rings in 1954 and will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary next year.
Bob celebrated his Honor Flight out of Waterloo on Sept. 16. He flew to the nation's capital with other Korean War veterans. It was a trip he will never forget.
He pointed out, "It was my first trip there and one every veteran should take. We saw all the memorials and got to visit Arlington National Cemetery. I made new friends along the way, and it was great to visit with other veterans and relive experiences."
Regina is especially proud of her husband, preserving all of his trip mementoes and pictures.
One scrapbook was given to Bob by the West Central third-graders. Inside the booklet are hand-drawn pictures by the children, thanking Mr. Bergman for his service.
On Veterans Day Bob hopes to thank each third-grader personally as he talks to the entire school to share his service stories and his trip to Washington, D.C.
He will tell them how proud he is to be a veteran and why it is important to serve both a person's country and community.
Bob served on the West Central school board for 10 years. He and his wife are members of Maynard American Legion Post 245 and Auxiliary.
Bob and Regina's three children are Bob and his wife, Janelle of Maynard; Beth Ann and her husband, Russell Buhrow of Allen, Texas; and Gary, at home in Sherman, Texas.
The Bergman kids have given their parents seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
The West Central Veterans Day program begins at 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 11. The public is invited to attend.

pros: it minimizes the oiliness of my super oily skin! it hides my blemishes.
con: i don't know if i got a shade darker, but the shade looks unnatural. i got medium. looks orangey? lol not sure.
ill repurchase this again. ill try the lighter shade, if the lighter color works natural, then ima stick to this foundation. tho im not inlove with this since it's also a bit pricey
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Dark, Neutral
Hair: Black, Kinky, Medium

Purchased this product in medium deep and it made my skin look ashy and the color was way off. They didnt have a darker shade, but even if a powder is too light for me in other brands it never makes me look chalky and ashy. Just ridiculous, would not ever repurchase or recommend.

I am alittle surprised at the bad reviews for this product, mind you my specific Colorstay Pressed Powder comes in much different packaging than that pictured above (they may have reformulated it). Nonetheless, I don't get the cakey look from this that all others are talking about, instead I get a nice fresh, matte look. I use this specifically as a mattifying powder, not for coverage (I get that from my MAC StudioFix Powder Foundation). I use the shade "Light/Medium" and I am a MAC C4. All in all, it is a good powder for "mattifying" purposes, and essentially avoiding to needlessly re-apply your regular foundation. It is a tad pricey for a drugstore powder and is nothing extraordinary, therefore I'm 50/50 on repurchasing, but it is a good powder for what I intended to purchase it for.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Blue
I bought this on a whim because it was buy 1 get 1 50% off. Didn't do any research on it which I normally research everything before buying (love MUA). Not a fan of this powder and I can't really pin point why. It does eliminate shine but I feel like it sits on top of the skin and doesn't really improve the look of my make-up. I was wanting to use this over foundation but it makes things really cakey. Using alone looks horrible. Provides no coverage AT ALL. Powder sits strangely on top of skin. There definitely has to be something better.

This is a good setting powder but since i dont wear liquid i dont like it.Im looking for a powder foundation it claimes to be but isnt at all
Age: 30-35

I love this powder. It works wonders on me. Im on my third compact.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

I got this in medium, and I usually adore Revlon products, but this one was a no. I have fairly combination skin, and this made my skin look so dry.
It does stay on for a long time --I work at a retail store that's always busy and makes me run around and it stayed throughout the night, but that's the only pro to this. Other than that it makes you look dry. It also makes you look cakey. Definitely returning this.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Acne-prone, Medium, Warm
Hair: Brown, Other, Other

I love the Revlon ColorStay foundation, but I don't like this powder. I find it to be very powdery & it just sits on top of your foundation instead of setting it. It looks very cakey & it doesn't control oil. I do like the packaging though. It's nice & sleek with nice size mirror for touch-ups. Offers very limited color selection & I find it to be overpriced for what it is. You can find better quality setting powders for cheaper price in other drugstore brands, in my opinion.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Dark, Cool
Hair: Black, Relaxed, Coarse
Eyes: Brown
I am African American but I don't have very dark skin, so I got it in medium deep. It still looked chalky and pale on me. I don't like wasting products so I use it lightly in combination with a highlighter. I really wanted to like it.Love the foundation though!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other

Pros: it's got pretty good coverage, it was not super expensive, and it didn't break my face out.
Cons: super finely milled, when using my regular bare essentials heavenly face brush the powder gets EVERYWHERE!!!!! I hit pan within 4 or 5 uses! So I just started using the powder puff it came with and that seems to work better. If you use too much it can look a little cake-y.
would only buy again if on super sale or something lol

Acadian Glow
Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
1510-5-5039 [2:3]
All day long I was enthralled capturing intimate leaf settings, then my wife asked, "Where do you want to be for sunset?" It was just moments later I saw a golden glow on the surface of the water coming from the setting sun. This Acadian glow was a common scene throughout the national park.
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA
1410-4-9814 [16:9]
** This image is featured in the Bighorn Gallery at the Dead Horse Point State Park Visitor Center Sep/Oct 2015 **
When visiting the Rockies, fall weather is always unpredictable. On one morning, I arose early and joined fellow photographer, Dustin LeFevre, in Rocky Mountain National Park. Being dark outside and seeing no stars, the evident sign indicated we were greeted with overcast skies. Nevertheless we packed our vehicle and headed into the park. We decided to take another stab at a popular lake, and as we began up the trail our suspicions were confirmed... an overcast sky. A gentle wind turned more into gusts, sending a chill right through all layers of clothing. We pressed on up the trail, arriving lakeside. I setup my tripod, and to my dismay a wind gust seemed to pick up my gear, casting it into the water. I quickly retrieved it, and over the short span of a few seconds, the water had already frozen all around the outside of the camera and lens. I wiped the ice free, setup again, and captured this scene, right as the morning glow slid underneath the cloud cover.
Lavender Glow
Mona, Utah, USA
1506-5-0374 {3:2]
Sunset in one of Juab County's jewels, the lavender fields. Storms were all around, including rainfall. Just as official sunset approached, the clouds began to part and a glow raged all around.
*Authorized permit by Young Living Farms"
Rough Water
Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
1406-4-0401 [3:2]
I hoped for smooth waters this day, as time only permitted one stop. Unfortunately strong wind prevailed, creating rough water in all directions. I especially did not expect to see white caps. Regardless, I capitalized on the moment, taking the time to wipe the spray from the filter after each shot. The result was this shot, one I believe captured the wind and cold I felt.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, USA
1410-4-2263 [2:3]
** This image and others are featured in the Bighorn Gallery at the Dead Horse Point State Park Visitor Center Sep through Oct, 2015 **
Fall in the Smokies is an incredible experience. As I wandered through the forest with my wife, we came across this obscured road, nearly hidden from view. We wandered up the pathway and came across this beautiful scene, a trail that led off into the distant golden light.
Morning Moon
Utah Lake, Utah, USA
1501-5-6637 [2:3]
The morning glow of sunrise captured on the east-facing slopes of the mountains along Utah Lake. The frigid winter temperatures caused a murky layer of mist at the base of the hills. The full moon had perfect timing to position itself right where I needed.
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA
1306-4-3642 [16:9]
I awoke early on my wedding anniversary to enjoy a beautiful sunrise overlooking the Snake River as a foreground to the majestic Tetons of Grand Teton National Park. I knew exactly where I was going, as I had been here many times before. This is one of my favorite places, as it is due to my admiration of one of the greats, Ansel Adams, to find peace and serenity. Here I capture a quick burst of shots, then stood and admired the colors changing on the Rocky Mountains. What a magnificent experience!
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA
1410-4-8443 [16:9]
I came across this scene two days before I captured it here. At that time, the vista was plagued with fog, mist, and snow, and wind caused the water to have uneven ripples in all directions. I hung out at this spot for a while envisioning what I wanted. I visualized the potential of sunrise forcing a glow on the foreground against the dark shadows of the background. I made the plan to come back, which I did, and I am glad I did!
Wasatch Dawn
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1412-5-5689 [4:1]
Late fall, early winter sunrise over the Wasatch Mountains in the Salt Lake Valley. The light blazed as it peaked over the crest, between Lone Peak and Mount Timpanogos.
Saturated Forest
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA
1409-4-7344 [3:2]
Hiking along the trails led us to a small pond at the base of the mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park. Timing was great, in that fall was in full swing. Rain saturated the forest, bring out vivid colors against dark shadows.
Once Upon a Rock
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1306-4-1124 [2:3]
Late spring, early summer capture high in the Wasatch Mountains on a hike to Lake Blanche, nestled at the base of Sundial Peak. The lake bed was anciently home to a glacier once upon a rock on this shoreline. Glacial scars are prominently visible in this shot.
Although the sky was boring (no clouds), the sun provided a gentle, soft light, creating an incredible warm glow.
This hike is not for car-shooters. It is a grueling 3.3 miles one-way up with a 2,700 foot (823m) gain! Thanks to friend and photographer, Steve Howa, who came along as my guide!
Second Light
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA
1410-4-8297 [3:2]
++ This image featured by USA Today November 21, 2014
It was my first visit to Rocky Mountain National Park. I wanted to catch a spectacular image showing the beautiful transition from fall to winter. Unfortunately stormy weather predominated the trip, like on this particular morning. Fellow photographer, Dustin LeFevre, and I awoke to mostly overcast skies, with only a single star visible above. Regardless, we gathered the stamina to ready ourselves and drive up the canyon. Within a few minutes we ran into a snow storm. What? Hope was nearly diminished. We decided to change directions and head up a different canyon. As we arrived, we were greeted with light snowflakes, and so the situation was still dire. But as I packed my ClikElite backpack, Dustin prodded me to look over my shoulder. Behind us there were hints of pink showing on the skyline. This was incredible! We were no fewer than 30 minutes BEFORE official sunrise, yet color was already visible. We literally sprinted up the trail to a pre-determined location along a lake. I gasped for air as I carried my 30-pound pack. About half way up, I told Dustin to move on without me --- my heart just couldn't take the pace. I setup near there and shot sunrise from an outcrop. And sunrise continued to blaze, so much that I decided I should continue up the trail to make an attempt at the other location. As I arrived at the lake, I setup my shot, disappointed I missed peak light, as the view was incredible! Then suddenly a wave of second light appeared, created an incredible alpenglow on the distant mountainside. I felt so fortunate, to experience such a spectacle in nature!
Golden Lake
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1410-4-0197 [3:1]
As a youngster, I often roamed the Wasatch Mountains with my family. One of my favorite features of the forest is the aspen tree -- the sound it makes when the wind blow, the way it glistens in the sunlight, and especially during autumn when its leaves turn a bright yellow. I captured this shot high in the Wasatch, right before sundown, making a beautiful golden lake!
Classic Zion
Zion National Park, Utah, USA
1411-5-4702 [2:3]
Autumn sunlight glistening through cottonwood trees along the Virgin River in Zion National Park of southern Utah. Yes, this is *the* classic Zion shot, and everyone needs one. Such a beautiful place to stand and admire nature!
Passing Through
Ozark Mountains, Arkansas, USA
1409-4-3475 [3:2]
My wife and I visited Arkansas in early fall and anticipated the trip to be more of a scouting adventure for future trips in the area that would be longer. As we were passing through a portion of the Ozarks, I saw this scene. I immediately turned the car around and unpacked the gear. I only took pics for a few minutes, because I knew couldn't top this one. The color added to the stillness of the water made the scene perfect.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, USA
1410-4-2981 [3:2]
My wife and I were privileged to have a few autumn days in the Smokies, and one afternoon while meandering through the forest, we stumbled across an incredible red tree. With all the dark green trees around, it stuck out like the bright sun. I spent 15 minutes walking around it, looking for a perspective that demonstrated its incredible beauty. This was my preferred angle.
Fall Mist
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina, USA
1410-4-2806 [2:3]
A downpour of rain plagued the forest as my wife and I wandered from overlook to overlook. As a result we took break from photography and wandered through the woods. It was there I saw this scene. I had to grab the camera and capture the scene! Such a beautiful glow as a the rain thinned some, and the fog still moved through the trees.
Down Below
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina, USA
1410-4-2726 [3:2]
I visited Great Smoky Mountains during the 2014 fall season. The trips was planned months in advance with specific dates in mind. I had grand plans to capture the vast vistas located throughout the Smokies; however overcast skies, fog, and rain plagued the entire visit. On one day, the sky opened just enough to catch glimpses of distant hillsides, enough to capture some scenes. While standing atop the mountain, I walked over to the North Carolina side of the mountain, and caught a glimpse of a winding road down below. Notwithstanding the rain, I took the risk of changing lenses, and zoomed in to this scene!
Shadowed Hill
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1410-4-3476 [3:2]
I watched the sun set through the aspen treetops, then at dusk I setup this long exposure. I found the topography most interesting, with aspens growing in different directions on the steep hillside. Thanks to Joshua Kelsch for joining in for an exciting evening!
Smoky Stream
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina, USA
1410-4-2551 [3:2]
For the first time I visited Great Smoky Mountains National Park this fall. I was excited to capture grand views from the myriad of overlooks in the area; however the weather had a different plan, as through the week the area was socked in with fog and overcast skies. As a result, I sought out new perspectives that were more intimate, such as this one. I captured this autumn scene along the Oconaluftee River as it drains down the North Carolina side of the Smokies.
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1410-4-3462 [3:2]
Fall came early in Utah this year. As a result, I frequently found myself struggling to find new perspectives from which to capture new scenes, primarily due to time constraints. This week I found myself not too far from Mount Nebo, in the Wasatch Mountains. As the sun began dipping over the horizon, I saw the highlights of the sun glistening among the leaves in the treetops of some nearby aspens. "This is it, go back!" I yelled out to the driver and colleague -- actually my beautiful wife. She turned the vehicle around and parked. I scrambled down the hillside, setup my tripod, and captured this scene. A scene that called out to me, making a comparison of the already-dormant aspens on the left, and the living, vibrant aspens on the right! Amazing sight! And a special thanks to Josh for coming along, too!
After Rain
Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado, USA
1409-4-7183 [3:2]
As I meandered along slippery boulders on a mountainside, I came across this simple scene -- raindrops clinging to the already fall-turned red/yellow leaves. Normally I am so involved in capturing grand scenes, it is easy to overlook such small things. You know, the scenes that make your jaw gape open; but on this occasion nature's beauty was seen best in such a succinct moment. My eyes peered gleefully at a such magical contrast and color!
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1410-4-0243 [3:2]
** This image and others are featured in the Bighorn Gallery at the Dead Horse Point State Park Visitor Center Sep to Oct, 2015 **
I visited this area as a young boy, long ago. I come back frequently to the area, and somehow kept forgetting to stop here. Thanks to a recent post by fellow photographer, it reminded me of this hidden treasure in the Wasatch Mountains. So I jumped in the Jeep with my son and several other photographers. We hiked up to the spot, and due to our late departure, we maintained a quick pace up the hill. The hike was grueling. Upon reaching the lake, I knew I only had a couple minutes to setup and capture what I wanted. Within moments the sun was gone. It was then, with more even light, a gentle breeze began, causing yellow light to reflect in all directions. Click.
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1410-4-0498 [3:2]
I went on an evening excursion with my family through the Wasatch Back near Salt Lake City. We meandered from forest to forest, until coming across an overlook near Deer Valley, a few minutes before sunset. From there, we walked through the shrubs and trees, and I saw this grouping of leaves, jutting out towards the sun. The wind was howling and a chill filled the air. I setup the shot for a fast shutter speed, to capture the leaves as if they were still.
Meadow Highlights
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
1409-4-5579 [3:2]
My wife and I awoke early in the morning to catch a specific scene high in the Wasatch Mountains. Alarm was set for 5:00AM, to provide time to pack the Jeep, then rush up into Utah's high country in time to catch alpenglow on the back side of Mount Timpanogos. To our dismay, a dog we were watching for family had an "accident," so we were delayed due to cleaning up the mess. The diversion took an extended period of time, making our arrival late at the pre-determined location. As a result we wandered away from the scene disappointed.... until I came across this spot. The sun's morning rays glowed, creating highlights in the trees all around. I setup the tripod with a low perspective, and captured this incredible meadow scene, high in the Wasatch Mountains.
Above the Road
Death Valley National Park, California, USA
1403-4-1217 [2:1]
I captured this abstract shot of the magnificent sand lines, high above the road that leads to the Eureka Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park. To get a glimpse of scale, take note of the tiny footprints on the rim of the dune!!
Afternoon Light
Glacier National Park, Montana, USA
1406-4-9575 [3:2]
The first week of summer is a magical time to visit Glacier. The sun is at its peak, seeing the depths of the canyon that are not visible the rest of the year! Captured this shot over the still lake under late afternoon light.
Enduring Winter
North Cascades National Park, Washington, USA
1406-4-3244 [2:3]
Although I visited Washington in early summer, the enduring winter just seemed to linger in the Cascade Mountains. Snow persisted in glacier-like patterns throughout the forest. So glad I decided to wear long pants! The air was filled in a bone-chilling breeze, and the area was covered in an overcast layer. Just as I was about to give up on the light, a little glimmer of sunset's rays cast through the layer onto Mount Shuksan. I pointed the camera in that direction and captured this shot.
Seattle Dawning
Seattle, Washington, USA
1406-4-3353 [16:9]
I have been trying for this shot for years. Each time Mount Rainier was shrouded by clouds or haze. Finally had some luck! The glow on the distant mountain only lasted a short while. Grand evening as the light dawns an evening sky!
Zion National Park, Utah, USA
I wandered through Zion National Park, alone, watching winter light fade along the sandstone cliffs. The air was brisk, yet the light was warming, both to the soul and touch. I setup the tripod and awaited the perfect moment, right as the sun last touched the sandstone mound on the hill. Then click!
Touch of Winter
Oquirrh Mountains, Utah, USA
The Oquirrh Mountains stretch in a north-south direction along the west side of the Salt Lake Valley. Compared to the rest of the Wasatch Range, they appear from a distance to merely be hills. The highest peak of this range is Flap Top Mountain, reaching 10,620 feet (3,237m).
On this particular occasion, fall was well upon area, with colors ranging from yellow and orange to deep red. My wife joined me and we Jeeped through the area. A winter storm hit the area, dropping up to a foot of snow. Thankfully our Jeep pressed through it and we blazed a trail to this vantage point. As we reached here the sun broke through just enough to highlight the area in a gorgeous yellow and orange light, providing this amazing scene!
Hint of Fall
Provo Canyon, Utah, USA
Mid-September always brings interesting weather to Utah, from cold, windy weather to warm, sunny days. This particular chilly evening came the day after a fall "winter" storm passed through the area. The fall season is well upon the state of Utah.
Wall Reflection
High Uintas, Utah, USA
Late summer sunset reflections over Wall Lake in the High Uintas of the Uinta National Forest.
Near Deadhorse Point State Park, Utah, USA
** This image and others are featured in the Bighorn Gallery at the Dead Horse Point State Park Visitor Center Sep to Oct, 2015 **
My son and I drove down into the desert and arrived as the clock was nearing midnight. We setup camp, finishing under a clear sky full of stars. We awoke early the following spring morning to a surprise, nearly overcast skies. We meandered around the cliff edges for a while, excited the clouds were beginning to break. I setup this shot as the sun crested over the distant horizon. The brisk, cold air broke as we felt the gentle warm rays of the sun on our faces. The sun blazed, an amazing grandeur, for just a couple minutes, then disappeared behind the clouds. The La Sal Mountains and Arches National Park are in the background.

Last Fall
Tooele County, Utah, USA
Fall has been surprisingly slow in showing itself in northern Utah; however the colors just came to peak, when a surprise winter storm descended on the area. This shot was captured immediately after the storm, as the first rays of light fell upon the colored ridges of the Oquirrh Mountains.
Near Deadhorse Point State Park, Utah, USA
My son and I drove down into the desert and arrived as the clock was nearing midnight. We setup camp, finishing under a clear sky full of stars. We awoke early the following morning, a nearly overcast spring morning. We meandered around the cliff edges for a while, excited that clouds were beginning to break. I setup this shot as the sun crested over the distant horizon. The brisk, cold air broke as we felt the gentle warm rays of the sun on our faces. Please enjoy this sunrise over the La Sal Mountains and Arches National Park of southeastern Utah, taken from the vantage point near Deadhorse Point State Park.
Timp Fall Glow
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
Fall view from the east side of Mount Timpanogos. Once the sun sets over Timp, the canyon on the back side is filled with deep shadows. Meanwhile when clouds are present over the peaks, the sky comes alive, reflecting colorful light deep into the canyons.
Cecret Reflection
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
The Cottonwood Canyons of northern Utah hide so many surprises. One surprise, Cecret Lake, is a short hike, about a mile, from the parking lot. During winter this lake is completely covered in snow, but in the spring, summer, and fall it makes an incredible destination. I captured this shot one evening at the beginning autumn's official entry in 2013. Light was fairly even for this one, and just a few minutes later it exploded to an incredible warm glow!
Mesa Mist
Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA
Winter sunrise atop Island in the Sky at Mesa Arch. The winter was rather cold this year, particularly in December. The cold temperatures were greeted with a week-long blast of moist air, creating an opportune climate to catch mist in the national parks. Thankfully the fog was clear enough for this shot, and then shortly after sunrise this view completely closed up with a thick fog bank.
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
A few photographer friends invited me to capture fall colors below Mount Timpanogos. As I meandered through a grassy meadow, sunset light glistened along the tops, an incredibly beautiful Utah fall scene! Wow!
Golden Meadow
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
Panorama view of a golden meadow in the Wasatch Mountains with Mount Timpanogos prominently displayed in the background. This shot was captured the day after a late fall snow storm, and the temperatures had warmed enough to melt most of the snow in the meadow.
Wasatch Mountains, Utah, USA
Late fall is a wonderful time to visit the Wasatch Mountains, and one more I decided to take a Jeep trip up to the ridge tops with my wife. We met up with friend and photographer, Dustin LeFevre. As we drove along this scene passed by my periphery, and knew I needed it. I captured this shot under late afternoon light, providing excellent highlight on the yellow leaves.
Canyonlands Winter
Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA
++ Image featured in Photography Masterclass Magazine March 2014
High on the Colorado Plateau are daunting cliffs, sheer walls that fall thousands of feet to the desert floor below. Among the magnificent features is Canyonlands National Park. I visited Canyonlands with photographer colleagues Dustin LeFevre and Steve Howa in late November. Although officially fall by calendar standards, the overlook was clearly a winter view.
Upon our arrival at this overlook, we were faced with a thick fog layer below, and a thick overcast layer above. There was only a slim chance of any light peaking through the distant horizon. Saddened by the fact that our 5:00 AM alarm clock had been in vain, we meandered perilously along the cliff ledges in hopes that some type of shot would capture our interest. Then suddenly the sun made a quick entrance, glowing intensely. My heart began pounding, because I was not ready for this instant surprise. I ran to the click edge, and composed a couple unique images, including this 4-shot panorama. And then just as quickly as it had arrived, the sun disappeared for the day.

DALLAS -- The skies seemed to clear ever so briefly for the Cardinals on Wednesday when they learned that the Marlins were out of the Albert Pujols talks. Then the Los Angeles Angels jumped in, according to sources, and the fog has moved back in.
Also in the mix are an unidentified team that reportedly has offered 10 years and more than $200 million, and a Chicago Cubs' offer believed to be shorter term -- four or five years.
It is not clear when Pujols will make a decision. But multiple sources familiar with the talks said the Angels, rumored to have been involved with Pujols 24 hours earlier when they really were not in the mix, entered the bidding aggressively and seriously Wednesday.
Question is, for how long? The Angels also were working feverishly Wednesday night to wrap up a deal with free agent starting pitcher C.J. Wilson. If they come to terms with the left-hander, that almost certainly will preclude them from being able to add Pujols as well.
The agent for Pujols, Dan Lozano, could not be reached for comment. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that the Angels made what is believed to be 10-year offer worth at least $210 million. On Tuesday, the Cardinals came in strong with their first new offer since last February, reportedly 10 years at $220 million.
Rookie Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto was evasive earlier Wednesday afternoon when asked directly about Pujols, saying "We're trying to improve our club in a variety of different ways. Speculation is what speculation is. Our net is spread wide, but that's not necessarily where our focus is."
Dipoto said the Angels would like to add a starting pitcher, bullpen depth and a bat that would make the Angels deeper and more versatile.
While deep in talks with Wilson on Wednesday night, the Angels added free agent setup man LaTroy Hawkins on Wednesday night, agreeing to a one-year deal worth $3 million.
Meantime, sources said, the Angels had the pedal to the metal with Wilson and were hard after Pujols.
"We'll continue to have parallel talks, and that's not solely limited to a starting pitcher," Dipoto said earlier in the day. "You have to have the ability to break off and move in a different direction."
The entry of the Angels and an unidentified club into the Pujols sweepstakes had to add to the Cardinals' frustration over not being able to close this deal.
Talks between the Pujols Camp and the Marlins ended sometime around midday Wednesday, which sent the Marlins successfully recruiting in the direction of free agent starter Mark Buehrle. It was around that time that it became publicly clear that the Marlins were out on Pujols, and maybe the Cardinals thought they were home free.
You would think maybe they should be. As the Prince Fielder negotiations proceed slowly, agent Scott Boras held an informal media briefing late Wednesday night in which he dismissed the idea that the Pujols negotiations in any way would affect what he is doing with Fielder.
"The reasons St. Louis are interested in Albert are unique to Albert Pujols," Boras said. "He's dynamic, he has a history there, he's a franchise player, he's a great player ... he's the kind of player [of which] you should probably build a statue while he's playing. He's that kind of guy. He's a really unique player."
Clearly looking to plant seeds for Fielder as well while paying tribute to Pujols, Boras argued that retaining franchise players such as these two first basemen provides value to a club beyond what the player himself does.
"Certainly, the retention of players, I know Matt Holliday came to St. Louis and stayed in St. Louis because Albert Pujols was there," Boras said. "And I know another client of mine, Kyle Lohse, a big reason he wanted to win and go to St. Louis is because Albert Pujols was there.
"So those are two great examples of my clients who were attracted to and stayed in St. Louis because of an iconic player."
In his first foray into free agency, the question remains whether that iconic player will stay in place or move to greener pastures -- or, at least, pastures filled with more greenbacks.

I joined Weight Watchers over two years ago. I lost 90% of my weight through them and still practice many of their ideas. One I truly love is the Three Bite Rule. When we crave something the first bite is really memorable. The second bite is almost as memorable as the first. The last bite savory and sums up the memory. Therefore all we need are three bites. Not diet is ever broken over three bites.

When I asked a young woman who had lost 200 pounds how she did it, she said that she treated weight loss like a job. No matter how she felt, she showed up. She showed up at the grocery store to buy the right food, she showed up to track her food, she showed up to walk, etc.

Washing Days
I try not to wash every single day, but nonetheless, there is a lot of washing going on in this house. Two school children, a cloth-nappied baby and a husband who works hard outdoors makes for one big clothes basket (or drawer in our case). I need to put on a full load each wash because we rely solely on tank water out here. For the first time ever since we built almost two years ago we have three full 25,000 litre tanks. This is quite unusual for us as we live in a rather dryish area. Last year we had to buy water several times.
I don't own a dryer. With just a little extra work, I can always manage to get the clothes out to line dry. If it is raining my house looks like one giant clothes horse, but it is just a little inconvenience.
Daniel built me an old fashioned clothes line last year. It fit's a lot of washing and I just love the way it looks.
Sometimes I even enjoy hanging out the washing.

So I am not the only one who enjoys hanging up washing....I find it relaxing so long as I am not in a hurry.
Rain water is good for washing, it is so much better than tap water. We have plenty in storage, but dont use it in the house yet as we need to get some plumbing changed around so the toilets (we have 3) and the air conditioner aren't connected and take all our precious rain water.
I love that type of clothes line, reminds me of the old days when I lived on our farm. Every Monday was wash day...
Hope the sun continues to shine for you, we haven't seen it for days. The solar hot water isn't working properly atm, it needs some sunlight.
Have a great day,

This past weekend I was hanging clothes on the line and thinking to myself that I actually LIKE doing laundry now that I hang dry. I had to chuckle that I have evolved into a person capable of liking housework at all. But, I do.
Lovely photos of your line.

Aston Villa centre-back Richard Dunne has revealed he is considering his international future with the Republic of Ireland. The 32-year-old Dubliner was part of the Republic's UEFA EURO 2012 campaign in which they failed to qualify from their group for the knockout stages.
He admits he now has a hard decision to make in the next few weeks and has asked Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert for advice. When asked if he had considered retiring, Dunne said: "Yes, it has crossed my mind a few times. It's easy after a tournament, the way it has gone, to make a rash decision and say 'that's it'.
"But I just have to think about things. I was basically waiting to get back into training with Villa and then have a think, see how I feel.
"It's a hard decision, because it (playing for Ireland) is something I love doing, and I had a chat with Paul Lambert about it and asked him about it. He said it has to be down to me because if I'm not happy with the decision and I regret it, then it's no good. I've already spent four weeks thinking about it and still can't decide."

Colorado-based death metallers Allegaeon decided to trade the Rocky Mountains for the beach of Naples, Fla., for their new video for "Threshold of Perception."
The band actually turned in a humorous take on the track, poking fun at the deathcore genre "crabcore" and having drummer Brandon Park beat on a kit made up of kid-sized sand buckets.
"Threshold of Perception" comes off Allegaeon's 2014 album, Elements of the Infinite, and you can watch the clip after the jump. Continue reading

To the editor:
I have been encouraged to respond to the recent letter by Mr. Paul Susco that has repeatedly appeared in the Post-Standard and on the Eagle Bulletin website. I understand that this letter of Mr. Susco's will be published yet again. I feel this is politically motivated and is intended to distort the truth in an attempt to protect the town of Manlius, concerning public safety issues at the Bluffs.
My participation at town board meetings in Manlius over the last nine years has been to document and to expose conditions that are being ignored by town officials. Letters, telephone calls, e-mails and other forms of communication have mostly been ignored. Some progress has been made at times such as the FEMA acquisition process that unfortunately failed last September 2010.
Mr. Susco has not been a board member for two years now, and from what I recall he had a poor attendance record at those meetings. Mr. Susco was not present at any of the meetings concerning the Bluffs such as the meeting with the Attorney General/Office of Environmental Protection. Assemblyman Al Stirpe was present at that meeting where the town of Manlius was directed to demolish building number one and to compensate the owners due to the drainage conditions present. The A/G determined the town of Manlius did not perform the proper procedures during development.
Presently, there are numerous, documented property maintenance code violations that are outstanding at unit 8181, most notably an exposed foundation footer on the edge of the 80 foot ravine. The town of Manlius has categorically refused to address these violations, allowing and facilitating an owner to live in the unit after that owner negligently allowed the footer to become exposed by sump pump discharge. These conditions have not only affected property values but are a direct threat to the public safety of adjoining residents and first responders.

The U-Tubes, a jazz trombone ensemble at the University of North Texas, was founded by Professor Steve Wiest in 2007. Consisting of six tenors and two bass trombones, along with piano, bass, drums and guitar, the U-Tubes focuses on exciting modern jazz. Most of the music in the group's library is a student arrangement or original composition, and the group is directed by a graduate teaching fellow. Students that have written/arranged for the U-Tubes have won several awards, including the USAF Sammy Nestico Award, the BMI Foundation's Charlie Parker Composition Award, and Downbeat Magazine Student Awards. Most recently, two of the group's composers were nominated for a Grammy with UNT's world-renowned 1 O'Clock Lab Band.
The U-Tubes was the winner of the 2008 International Trombone Association Kai Winding Jazz Trombone Ensemble Award. Most recently, the group won the 2010 Eastern Trombone Workshop National Jazz Trombone Ensemble Competition.

Hi there,
Any advice on how to integrate a front end form integration with gravity forms?
Any links/help/advice would be appreciated
Hi there,
Any advice on how to integrate a front end form integration with gravity forms?
Any links/help/advice would be appreciated
Hi cooketsc,
Unfortunately, I have no experience with Gravity Forms other than what other people say about them. I don't have any guidance to offer. I would suggest contacting the Gravity Forms support team to see what they suggest.
I have a suggestion:
How about you start getting some experience with Gravity forms and make a paid module to use Gravity forms for adding new businesses?
I would definitely pay for that.
I like all the features and everything you've done with the directory, but I must say that the submit page is really too weak. It's very messy.
Take a look at mine:
I would love to have something better and more improved without having to hack some CSS which I don't seem to understand. (what's the handle for the labels?? yes I've tried Firebug and chrome inspect stuff, etc...)
Seriously you need a form editor. Or a way to control multipaging, or a way to create sections, etc...
You need that to beat the competition!
We'll look into that. Not sure what it would take, but we can investigate.
I would DEFINITELY pay for an integration with Gravity Forms! I build membership forms for clients with GF, and some orgs are wanting to give the option of a business directory listing. It would be great to be able to pull the info for the listing from the GF entry fields.
BTW, there is a Directory plugin for use with GF, but it is no where near as nice as BD!

Each week, Tristan H. Cockcroft offers his strategies for the Baseball Challenge game. Look for his best bargains, busts and daily specials every Sunday.
CATCHER: The Orioles' Ramon Hernandez (4.7) has started coming around at the plate, hitting .429 (6-for-14) with one home run, 6 RBIs and 5 walks in his past five games (through Thursday). His three games at Seattle's Safeco Field might seem threatening, but consider that in a four-game set there in 2006, he was 5-for-16 (.313) with two homers. Also consider: Kenji Johjima (4.4), Josh Bard (3.2).
FIRST BASE: The Astros' Lance Berkman (5.9) has to turn his season around sometime, doesn't he? There might not be a better place for the turnaround to begin than Colorado's Coors Field, where he's a career .348 hitter with a 1.061 OPS. He'll play three games there to begin the week, then he'll get three more at homer-friendly U.S. Cellular Field. Also consider: Todd Helton (6.0), Casey Kotchman (4.7).
SECOND BASE: The Indians' Josh Barfield (4.6) is another player whose value is on the rise, after he batted a respectable .278 (30-for-108) with 17 RBIs, four stolen bases and 10 extra-base hits in 28 games in May. This week he'll get three games against the Royals' weak pitching staff, then three more at homer-friendly Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. Also consider: Craig Biggio (4.7), Kazuo Matsui (4.6).
THIRD BASE: Keep riding the Kevin Kouzmanoff (3.3) bandwagon, as in his past 17 games (through Thursday), the Padres third baseman is a .352 hitter (19-for-54) with three homers, 14 RBIs and a 1.077 OPS. Two of those three homers have come against left-handers, which bodes well for him entering Week 10; he'll face lefties in three of his six scheduled contests. Also consider: Mike Lowell (5.9), Adrian Beltre (5.1).
SHORTSTOP: An eight-game week is great for fantasy, but it's even better when a noted lefty killer like the Braves' Edgar Renteria (6.1) winds up facing four lefties as a result. He's a .321/.904 hitter against left-handers in 2007, .301/.843 for his career. In addition, Renteria could be facing three Marlins spot starters between Monday's game and Tuesday's doubleheader. Also consider: Miguel Tejada (5.5), Rafael Furcal (5.4).
LEFT FIELD: The Brewers' Geoff Jenkins (4.6) gets to face five right-handers in six games in Week 10, and remember, he's a .316/.987 hitter against them this season, .292/.895 for his career. Plus, if you're concerned about that Wednesday meeting with the Cubs' Carlos Zambrano, consider that Jenkins is a lifetime .293 hitter (12-for-41) with two homers against him. Also consider: Carlos Lee (6.5), Luis Gonzalez (4.7).
CENTER FIELD: Like Berkman, the Astros' Hunter Pence (4.4) should benefit from a three-game trip to Coors Field to begin Week 10. It's the rookie's first trip to Colorado, though the way he has hit of late, he could be due for a huge week, especially taking into account those weekend games in Chicago. Pence is a .398 hitter (33-for-83) with three homers in his past 22 games. Also consider: Mike Cameron (5.1), Juan Pierre (4.8).
RIGHT FIELD: The Mariners' Jose Guillen (4.9) might not feel like a fantasy standout, but that's more due to his frequent tirades and DL stints than his actual level of talent. He batted .274 (29-for-106) with 24 RBIs in 27 games in May, and it's a good sign that he's a .421/1.239 hitter against left-handers this year, as he'll face three of them in six games this week. Also consider: Jeff Francoeur (6.0), Andre Ethier (4.3).
DESIGNATED HITTER: The Braves' Matt Diaz (3.4) is your money-saver for Week 10, as he starts every game against a left-hander, and he will see four of them this week. He's at .347/.872 rates against them this season, and one has to think that his .310/.779 numbers against right-handers will earn him a start or two in the four remaining games the team has against righties. Also consider: Hideki Matsui (5.4).
PITCHING STAFF: It's a risk because the team's closer position is now in question, but for the price, the San Francisco Giants (4.0) aren't a bad choice. Consider that Barry Zito (4.21) is the only Giants starter with an ERA over 3.42 (through Thursday), and the team will face the 21st-ranked Diamondbacks (4.35 R/G) and 20th-ranked Athletics (4.40). Also consider: Boston Red Sox (5.4), Minnesota Twins (4.6).
CATCHER: The Cubs' Michael Barrett (4.6) is in the midst of a 5-for-31 (.161) slump in his past eight games. This week he gets tough road contests in Milwaukee (three) and Atlanta (four), and he'll face six righties, against whom he has .239/.637 rates this season. Also avoid: Brian McCann (4.5), Bengie Molina (4.4).
FIRST BASE: Though the Mets' Carlos Delgado (5.2) has begun to turn his season around, hitting .344 (11-for-32) with four homers in his past eight games, be cautious. He faces three left-handers in six games, including the tough Cole Hamels, and plays three at Detroit. Also avoid: Nomar Garciaparra (4.3), Rich Aurilia (4.1).
SECOND BASE: One thing the Dodgers' Jeff Kent (5.6) does not like is hitting in San Diego's Petco Park. He's a .257/.711 career hitter at Petco, and he'll get three early-week games there. Plus, he'll have to face six right-handers in seven games; he's at .261/.787 numbers against them. Also avoid: Orlando Hudson (5.5), Ray Durham (4.9).
THIRD BASE: The Cardinals' Scott Rolen (4.4) is a .237/.660 hitter at Busch Stadium this season, and he'll play six games there this week. He hasn't been close to his normal self all year, and in his past 27 games in particular, he's merely a .244 hitter (22-for-90) with one homer and 12 RBIs. Also avoid: Mike Lowell (5.9), Joe Crede (3.6).
SHORTSTOP: The Athletics' Bobby Crosby (4.8) hasn't had a bad season, but against right-handed pitching, he has rather ordinary .258/.669 numbers (through Thursday). He's slated to face six of them in his seven games in Week 10, and among those are the Red Sox's Curt Schilling and Daisuke Matsuzaka, and the Giants' Matt Cain and Tim Lincecum. Also avoid: Julio Lugo (5.5), Juan Uribe (3.7).
LEFT FIELD: The Mariners' Raul Ibanez (4.7) has long been a weaker hitter against left-handers, with .265/.718 career rates, and he'll face three lefties in his six games in Week 10. Plus, he'll finish out the week with three games at Petco Park, a terrible park for lefty sluggers. Also avoid: Shannon Stewart (4.8), Chris B. Young (4.8).
CENTER FIELD: The Diamondbacks' Eric Byrnes (5.7) has merely .246/.715 rates against right-handers since 2005, and he'll see five of them in six games. Against scheduled Giants opponents Matt Cain, Matt Morris and Noah Lowry, he's a combined 6-for-38 (.158) in his career. Also avoid: Alfonso Soriano (5.8), Coco Crisp (4.6).
RIGHT FIELD: The Red Sox's J.D. Drew (4.3) is off to a dreadful start, and coming off a .171/.552 May, and it's a real worry that he's at .227/.647 rates against left-handers this year, .262/.798 for his career. This week, he'll potentially battle four lefties in seven games, and with him struggling, it's possible he could be benched for one of those weekend interleague contests. Also avoid: Carlos Quentin (4.0).
DESIGNATED HITTER: It'll be interesting to see what the Red Sox do with their first-base position during the weekend series at Arizona, as Kevin Youkilis has played too well to bench. He could shift to third base, but more likely, David Ortiz (7.0) could be rested for a game or two. Also avoid: Jim Thome (5.7), Jack Cust (4.3).
PITCHING STAFF: The New York Mets staff (5.3) ranks second in MLB in ERA (3.35, through Thursday), but Week 10 should prove most challenging. First, the Mets play three against the Phillies, the National League's top offense (5.17 R/G) and one that just got slugger Ryan Howard back, and then they get three at Detroit, against the second-ranked Tigers (5.60). Also avoid: Oakland Athletics (5.4), Detroit Tigers (4.3).
Daily Specials
MONDAY: Giants 1B Ryan Klesko (3.3) should pick up a spot start facing the Phillies' Jon Lieber, against whom he's a lifetime .390 hitter (16-for-41) with four homers and 15 RBIs. A game at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park should favor him, especially since he's a .385 hitter (10-for-26) with one homer in his past eight contests (through Thursday).
TUESDAY: A doubleheader means twice the chance at gaudy statistics, which is why Braves and Marlins players are so appealing on Tuesday. Second baseman Kelly Johnson (5.5) should pick up starts in both games, each against a right hander -- likely Wes Obermueller and Rick Vanden Hurk -- and he's a .271/.878 hitter against righties this season.
WEDNESDAY: Rockies RF Brad Hawpe (5.2) is a great spot starter in home games, he's a .321/1.053 hitter at Coors this season, and against right-handed pitchers, whom he has hit at .320/1.007 rates. He'll battle the hittable Woody Williams of the Astros, which is a solid matchup for any hitter in a game scheduled at Coors.
THURSDAY: The Rockies are slated to start Taylor Buchholz, who has been hit at .311/.795 rates in 2007, and .369/.908 at Coors Field in particular. That makes for a favorable matchup for Astros 1B Lance Berkman (5.9), a .311/1.026 career hitter against right-handed pitching, and a .348/1.061 lifetime hitter at Coors.
FRIDAY: The Rangers' Robinson Tejeda has performed rather poorly against left-handed hitters (321/1.056) and at home (.301/.846) this season, and the Brewers lineup has the firepower necessary to get to him. Brewers LF Geoff Jenkins (4.6) is a .316 hitter with a .987 OPS against right-handers this year, making for a strong matchup.
SATURDAY: Pirates left-hander Paul Maholm regularly gets hit hard by righties, with .306/.863 rates this year and .300/.842 for his career. That's what makes Yankees 1B Josh Phelps (2.0) an appealing spot start. He's a lifetime .293 hitter with a .841 OPS against left-handers, averaging one homer per 21.0 at-bats.
SUNDAY: Reds 2B Brandon Phillips (6.1) benefits from the hitter-friendly confines of Great American Ball Park, where he's a .288 career hitter with 14 homers in 103 games. He's also familiar with Indians starter Paul Byrd, against whom he's a lifetime .444 hitter (4-for-9) with one homer and a 1.222 OPS.

Too Many Shoppers Flock to the Coop
The latest hard-to-get reservation? The Park Slope Food Coop.
Residents and employees of one of the nation's busiest food cooperatives say a policy limiting orientations to 70 new members a week has led to lengthy waits to get the spots, which are snagged within minutes.
"You have to be online at 3 p.m. on Tuesday or Thursday," said Jana Cunningham, a membership coordinator at the Coop. "The window is only like 60 seconds."
A neighborhood institution formed in 1973, the Coop boasts 6,000 square feet crammed with everything from locally sourced salsa and arugula to yuca grown in Costa Rica and cheeses made in Europe. But it's gotten almost too popular: Shoppers come from Long Island, the Bronx, as far as Pennsylvania; even with 15 checkout stations, lines are common. Now, besides limiting numbers for orientation, the Coop is trying to assist other neighborhoods duplicate its model, nudging members toward developing coops closer to home.
Becoming a lifetime member requires a $100 one-time investment, $25 joining fee and attendance at an orientation—and the infamous 2.45-hour volunteer shift every four weeks. The Coop's cachet, low prices and no geographical barriers to membership haven't helped rosters shrink, even when people leave Brooklyn.
"Some people go to the temple, we go to the Coop," said Deb Chromow, who moved from Park Slope to Montclair, N.J., in 1999 and makes the 45-minute commute once a month with her husband to work their shift and load up on groceries. "We're sort of bicoastal but between Monclair and Park Slope."
Andy Milne moved to Shohola, Pa., in 2004 but comes to the city frequently for work—and retains his membership. "I have a cooler with ice bags in it," he said. "I'm driving two hours to get home and I don't want my gelato melting."
Growing membership has also meant growing sales. The Coop had $39.4 million in annual sales last fiscal year, meaning its average sales per square foot of selling space were $6,567. That's about 11 times the 2008 national average of $592, according to figures from the Food Marketing Institute. A mammoth volunteer base results in more than 60 people minding the store at a time and allows prices to stay an average of 20% to 40% lower than supermarkets.
The new limits on orientations were a direct response to burgeoning membership, says Joe Holtz, general manager of the Coop. "We were growing to a size...that was making people miserable," he said. "The Line Waiters' Gazette is our newsletter. It's an appropriate name. There's been a line here ever since the opening in 1973."
The Coop hit its all-time peak of 16,080 members in March of 2010 and was averaging a 10% growth rate. The 70-person limit began in the spring but then the orientations were suspended because of renovations. When orientations resumed in the late summer, the policy was adopted more strictly. No more walk-ins, no calling in for a spot. Online sign-up only.
The Coop's strategy, though, is working: Membership rolls are shrinking. Now, the Coop's membership has gone down to about 15,500 and is just 1½% higher than at the same time last year, said Mr. Holtz.
The Coop also hopes to alleviate membership by helping surrounding coops get up and running. Working to help another coop start, in fact, can count toward one's work shift.
There are currently two other food coops in New York City, the Flatbush Food Coop in Ditmas Park and the 4th Street Food Co-op in the East Village; neither requires membership to shop there, though members get discounts. There is also a coop in the South Bronx, which is reorganizing, Mr. Holtz said.
Mr. Holtz said he's helping six Brooklyn coops form and four others in the New York metropolitan area. All are in various stages of formation, with some hosting buying clubs and CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture).
The Bay Ridge Food Co-op incorporated about a year ago and already has more than 300 members. "Our goal is to take anywhere from 500 to 1,000 people out of there," said David Marangio, a founder member of the Bay Ridge group; he also belongs to the Park Slope Food Coop. "If we're a sufficient alternative to people, then we hope that we'll pull some of those numbers off so that it's a better thing for them and for us."
Until then, the competition for orientation spots continues in Park Slope.
Lena Altman has tried to snag a spot every week for the past six weeks. "Admittedly I'm not checking at 3 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday...but I'm checking a few hours later and it's gone," said Ms. Altman. "I've gone in twice in person and I've called several times."
Ms. Altman doesn't mind the liberal membership policy, saying it allows people like her former nanny to get access to cheaper products. But she added, "it would be nice for people who live around the corner to get in."

Corrections & Amplifications
Members of the Park Slope Food Coop are required to volunteer 2.75 hours every four weeks. This article incorrectly stated that they are required to volunteer 2.45 hours.


text: In trying to understand why matter curves space i thought up a model that has the curiosity of suggesting the concept of maximum gravity, suggesting that as the mass of an object increases gravity increases as well, until the mass reaches a point at which the gravity starts to increase more slowly until it actually levels off at some maximum level, after which an increase in mass will not further increase the corresponding gravity. Has any data or observations suggested such a phenomenon? I realize it may be hard to verify this claim.

Oliver Bonas Customer Reviews
Shopping for my wife is so easy here
My wife loves shopping from Oliver Bonas and so when I need a gift I usually look on their website for something she'd like. I just ordered a nice pair of silver earrings for her and was really pleased w/ the price at £35. For blokes like me that don't shop much, their website makes it quite simple - you can search by price, colour, or type such as earrings or a bracelet, etc. Just a few clicks and my gift is sorted!
Ready for the firm's Christmas party thanks to Oliver Bonas
This is my first year at a new law firm and they make quite a big deal out of their annual Christmas festivities. I didn't want to wind up embarrassing myself and went online to do some shopping - luckily on the Oliver Bonas homepage they had a big photo that said party season so I clicked on it and straight away got some ideas. I wish they had more options for long dresses instead of just one style, but the one I saw ticked all of the boxes. At first I thought it had sequins but it turns out there's pretty lace inserts along the shoulders and the waist. My one gripe is that they don't show the clothes on real models, but on mannequins, so it's a bit hard to tell what it really looks like. Fortunately the dress did not disappoint - it arrived today and looks lovely! Thanks for the fast delivery and great prices. For someone who works so much and doesn't have time to go out shopping, Oliver Bonas saved the day!
The best gifts for those hard to buy people!
I used to often find myself browsing at all the beautiful things in Oliver Bonas. It's such a gorgeous shop - full of items for the house and wonderful, unique jewellery. Since I moved from London I've missed the stores, so they were the first place I thought of when it was my sister's birthday a month after I moved. With moving I still had so much to do and arrange so getting to the shops was hard. So I searched to see whether I could find Oliver Bonas online, thank goodness I found it! My sister is notoriously awful to by for - she has everything she wants. So that's why the individuality of the items Oliver Bonas stocks is so great. I got her a framed print for her kitchen and she absolutely loved it. She enquired immediately where I got it, and couldn't believe it came from a high-street and online shop, not a boutique. I'll go there for gifts again until I can find equally lovely gifts at lower prices - I feel they slightly overcharge, but I still love them!
