One must turn to the past to move forward. —Akan proverb
African Innovations, a highly selective assortment of works from the Brooklyn Museum's extensive collection of African art, includes objects of transcendent beauty and sophistication, but many of these works were valued for more than aesthetic reasons. They were created to solve important creative, social, political, and cosmological problems.
The phrase "African art" might suggest a continent-wide form of visual expression that is unitary and timeless, but nothing could be further from the truth. The world's second-largest continent is a place of great diversity, encompassing massive deserts, mountains, tropical forests, and broad savannas, and home to more than a thousand languages. Historically, Africa has been organized into a variety of expansive empires, localized kingdoms, city-states, and autonomous villages, and today it comprises more than fifty independent countries. While that diversity is reflected in the stylistic range of this exhibition, these inventive works also reveal the universal nature of the individual and social problems they addressed.
For the first time, the Museum's African galleries are arranged chronologically, to emphasize the continent's long record of creativity, adaptation, and artistic achievement. The installation is framed by displays focusing on "Crossroads Africa." The first, beginning in ancient times, establishes Africa's ongoing history of artistic dialogue with other parts of the world and neighboring cultures, while the last extends this story into the present. The majority of works, dating from the early nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century (when collecting was at its most active), are displayed between these two spaces according to five broad themes: protection, transitions, authority, performance, and personal beauty.
This museum was the first in America to display African objects as works of art and has one of the largest and most important collections in the country. We invite visitors to view the collection with new eyes through this installation, which places centuries of ongoing African creativity in historical and cultural context.

Nubian Art
Nubia is the land between the southern border of ancient Egypt at Aswan and the northern part of the modern Republic of the Sudan. The ancient African cultures and civilizations of Egypt and Nubia were closely related: Egypt dominated Nubia politically in the earlier periods, but Nubia conquered Egypt in Dynasty 25 (760–656 b.c.e.). Nubian art reflects burial traditions similar to those of Egypt.
More Egyptian and Nubian art is on view in Egypt Reborn: Art for Eternity on the third floor.
Africa, the prehistoric point of origin of all human beings, has a long and complex history of artistic development and cultural interaction. All of the cultures represented by this selection of objects, ranging from the seventh century b.c.e. to 1800 c.e., produced significant artistic innovators and belonged to wide-ranging networks of adaptation and exchange.
Nubian art, constituting the oldest group of works in the exhibition, reflects centuries of invasion and exchange, in both directions, with its Egyptian neighbors to the north. A work from Roman-era Egypt represents a new Greco-Egyptian god, offering a striking example of artistic and religious invention from the African continent. A terracotta head from the Nok culture, in modern Nigeria, stands as a testament to one of the oldest known art genres from south of the Sahara.
Despite considerable geographic obstacles, sub-Saharan African civilizations were connected to far-reaching networks of exchange. The Edo city-state of Benin, for example, grew exceedingly wealthy through trade with Portuguese merchants at the apex of its power in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The Edo bartered ivory and captives from neighboring societies for European guns and brass, a material used by their artists to make plaques and other innovative objects such as those presented here.

The nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—represented in the next five sections—were a period of profound change and disruption for African societies. The profusion of power figures and protective masks, while part of an ongoing local history, is certainly related to the growing European presence on the continent, which brought iconoclastic missionaries, local apocalyptic movements, economic exploitation, and the loss of political independence.
The works here served as tools for controlling spirit forces to protect individuals and communities, often through the incorporation of symbolic or powerful materials such as feathers, horns, shells, plants, and bones. Most of these works are rooted in conceptual distinctions between the "wilderness," the zone beyond the village and cultivated lands that was home to ancestral spirits and potentially ominous forces, and "civilization." Blacksmiths, who often also worked as carvers, and diviners, who specialized in intervening in the "wilderness" on behalf of "civilization," created and used these sculptures to harness spiritual forces to aid the community. Through these works, African artists sought control of a world changing around them.
[original didactic panel includes map of Africa and black and white photograph from 1923]
The works in this section were made for use at key moments of transition in life: death, birth, and initiation into adulthood. Created in an era when local beliefs were facing severe challenges, they offered a sense of perpetuity.
In many indigenous African cultures, life is thought to reach beyond the current world, extending in both directions to encompass deceased ancestors and the not yet born. Ancestors are able to intervene in the world on behalf of their descendants. Their blessings and wisdom are often sought through specific objects such as grave markers and reliquaries, both associated with the physical remains of the deceased. Births, in turn, occur with the sanction of the ancestors, and in some cases are considered to be the return of a previously departed spirit.
In the prime of life, the transition to adulthood is marked by art objects that accentuate a similar phase of "death" and "rebirth." Through initiation, a young boy or girl entering into a more mature level of knowledge is physically separated from his or her previous life in the village for a number of months before reentering society as a man or woman.
[original didactic panel includes map of Africa and black and white photograph from 1914]
Arts associated with authority flourished in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—most likely in response to the fluid political environment of this period. For instance, following the collapse of the Oyo Empire in 1836, smaller city-states and kingdoms emerged among the Yoruba, and obas (kings) commissioned spectacular carved and beaded works, including the ade (crown) from Ikere shown nearby, to project their newly enhanced powers.
The forms of political leadership in Africa were as diverse as the continent itself, ranging from emperors, kings, and local chiefs to independent councils of village elders. In all cases, art served as an important means for leaders to communicate local histories and their own authority, and rulers played a significant role as artistic innovators.
Objects made for royal use are often distinguishable from ordinary utilitarian ones by the rare, unusual, and costly materials from which they are made, such as gold, bronze, or ivory, and by their extensive detail and ornamentation. In societies without kings or paramount chiefs, however, masks might be used to administer justice, as in the case of the judicial masks made by the Dan of Liberia.
[original didactic panel includes map of Africa]
Masks allow us to hide, but also to reveal unseen traits and to enact different identities. Masquerade is a universally shared human experience, and one that depends upon interaction between artist and audience. It is performance art.
The works on view here were not meant to be seen as isolated sculptural forms, though they remain stunning examples of artistic achievement. Instead, they were but one component in a performance that included costume, music, songs, food, audience interaction, and, above all, movement. Masquerade remains a wholly adaptive medium, incorporating new themes and characters in response to changing times.
The functions of masks are as complex and varied as their forms. Masks can validate political authority, initiate youths into adulthood, protect communities from harm, assist the spirits of the deceased in their transition to the realm of the ancestors, teach social values, and simply entertain. The nineteenth- and twentieth-century masks in this gallery are loosely divided into three groups—masks marking important transitions in life, masks supporting political authority and social continuity, and masks honoring women.
[original didactic panel includes map of Africa and black and white photograph from 1968]
In Africa, one's commitment to style is taken as a sign of seriousness and achievement. Arts of adornment are in broader use than the highly specialized objects shown elsewhere in this exhibition, but these fashion statements equally reveal talent, ingenuity, and technical sophistication.
Historically, African artists have adapted a wide array of materials to highlight a wearer's sense of fashion and status. Gold, ivory, and beads have long been used as media of prestige, indicating the wealth and standing of the wearer. African textiles are extremely diverse (a small, contemporary sampling is included here), ranging from fabrics woven in strips to pounded barkcloth to factory-printed cotton.
African fashion tends to employ an aesthetic of assemblage and improvisation. Men and women continue to blend patterns, textures, and media in an endless variety of new combinations. Although the works here are primarily examples from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, African innovators continue to explore the art of the self on a daily basis. Indeed, African artists remain an ongoing source of inspiration on fashion runways around the world.
[original didactic panel includes map of Africa and black and white photograph from 1912]
Africa underwent profound change during the second half of the twentieth century. Independence movements brought new sovereign states to the global stage, while social change ended some religious, economic, and family institutions as new versions took their place. Today, roughly half of all Africans live in urban settings, and Lagos, Nairobi, Dakar, Johannesburg, and other metropolises are truly global cities, interconnected with worldwide networks of trade, migration, and ideas.
African artists in urban centers on and off the continent have responded to these changes, working in media such as painting, photography, and video to express these new realities. At the same time, artists outside of cities working in established genres such as masquerade are also changing and adapting to new circumstances; the Elvis mask by a Chewa artist in this gallery is a striking example.
Questions such as "What is Africa?" and "Who is African?" remain central concerns for much contemporary art. This section of the installation presents a range of artists, some with transnational identities, who are claiming a part in African art history while drawing on global perspectives. They continue an ongoing history of African innovation.
[original didactic panel includes color photograph of Lagos, Nigeria, and map of Africa]
Why are the artists "unidentified"?
In African art, as in many fields ranging from the arts of the Americas to European medieval art, we often have no record of the artist's name. The reasons for this are varied and complicated. Most of the cultures represented here relied upon oral histories, which may not have memorialized artists' names. In some cultures, the names of artists were deliberately obscured because the works were considered to have an otherworldly origin. In other cases, although the identity of an artist may have been known locally, the original collector of the work simply did not record it.
Through a combination of careful historical research and visual analysis, it is often possible to ascribe a body of works to an individual hand, if not a known name. Thus, some works here are attributed to specific artists such as Toibo of Erin or the Nguabu Master.

We spend the first half of our lives acquiring things, and the second half getting rid of them.
Sound familiar?
If your home is overflowing with stuff, you're not alone. It's all too easy to accumulate worldly goods. And while many of those things are probably lovely and full of emotional resonance, in the aggregate, they're cluttering your life physically and energetically. It's hard to move forward (let alone move) when your home resembles a well-packed self-storage unit.
There are all sorts of strategies to clearing out your possessions, ranging from doing it in one fell swoop to hiring a professional organizer to doing it in increments, like getting a big box and one by one, placing in it items you might be willing to part with. All of these approaches can work — once you've flipped the mental switch.
While that sounds simple, anyone who's struggled with this understands the psychological and emotional challenges of throwing out, giving away or selling beloved possessions. (And simply reminding ourselves that we "can't take it with us" doesn't help.) These five stories, culled from Next Avenue's archives, could help you take your first, or next step.
5 Approaches to Clearing Out the Clutter
1. Identifying too much stuff as a burden is not some modern concept. In the "Economy" chapter of his masterpiece, Walden, Thoreau observed, "I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of."
And yet while most of us appreciate the need to "deacquire" as we get older, we also agree that it's easier said than done. As Akiko Busch has observed, "One may be forced to downsize space due to economic dictate in recessionary times or might simply choose to live more simply and sustainably. But even if the mandate to cede one's belongings is clear, one still needs insight and judgment to do so — and that can pose some complex challenges."
In her fine essay "The Art of Shedding Possessions," she describes how she went from being overwhelmed at the task of turning her adult son's former bedroom (still alive with "ghosts" of his youth spent there) into a viable guest room.
2. A great place to start the process is your clothes closet. This offers multiple benefits: You not only get to shed possessions and clear out what might be a big clutter fest, you'll probably discover things you love that you'd forgotten about. And, best of all, when you follow the five steps and many practical tips in style coach Susan Sommers' piece "Shop Your Closet," you can create a sharp new look for yourself. See: Less can be more!
3. It's typically easier to help others in this situation. Emily Berns Heyser found herself thrust into that situation when her mother-in-law needed to downsize into a smaller space that was more appropriate for her declining state of health. But this woman equated the need to get rid of her prized possessions with a decree that her life as she'd always known and lived it was over.
As Berns Heyser writes of her "Mutter" in "Giving Things Away Can Make a Life Transition Easier": "A longtime widow with chronic diabetes, she was irascible and depressed, anxious about the future and doubtful that any change could be for the better. It was as if she saw her life as already over, and all the appurtenances of that life — from the books she had read to the clothes she had worn to the Christmas ornaments she had crafted — finished and done with as well."
So as a loving (and clever) daughter-in-law, she hatched a neat plan: After packing and moving Mutter's essential items, she set up a table outside the older woman's home and created a kind of ongoing free flea market. Naturally the "shoppers" were thrilled, but the biggest surprise of all was Mutter's positive reaction.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
wabi-sabi, Wabi-Sabi Wednesday, decluttering, how to declutter, organizing tips, get rid of clutter, clear clutter, Robyn Griggs Lawrence
"It's not the tragedies that kill us, it's the messes."—Dorothy Parker
Modern Americans face more choices in one trip to the grocery store than our grandparents faced in their entire lifetimes. All that freedom of choice is reflected in most of our homes, littered with more furnishings and gadgets than we need or want. Stuff is a major impediment to becoming wabi, and it's one of the hardest ones to break through. Most of us have been programmed to acquire more, more and more from the time we could speak. It's how our economies roll.
"We live in a world overflowing with our own productions, a world in which objects besiege us, suffocate us, and very often distance us from one another both physically and mentally," Italian designer Claudia Dona wrote in 1988. "They make us forget how to feel, to touch, to think." Take a good look around your house. Chances are, you have more stuff than you need. Are you okay with having a TV in every room (how did that happen?) or the glass duck collection that got totally out of hand? Do you need those sweaters that might fit again some day or the wild-haired, legless Barbies languishing in their own messy Barbie houses? You know, deep down, that the clutter you've parked in your home is as destructive to your well being as the constant buzz of a nearby highway. The thought of actually doing something about it, however, is paralyzing.
Wabi-sabi gasps for breath in homes rife with gadgets (even if all of them work) and tchotchkes (even if all of them are beautiful). The wabi-sabi room doesn't have to be prison-like or monkish, completely without ornament or whimsy. It simply shouldn't be suffused with extraneous details. Clutter smudges clarity, both physically and metaphorically. Things you're holding onto because they were expensive, because they were gifts from your mother-in-law, or because you might need them some day are all just getting in your way. In a wabi-sabi home, space and light are the most desirable ornaments.
Uncluttering is common sense; there's no magic to it. All the experts offer the same basic advice, in one form or another. It goes like this:
—Don't try to unclutter your entire house at once. Start with a drawer or a shelf and move on to problem areas (such as the garage or the basement) once you've had some smaller success.
—Maintenance is key. Spend fifteen minutes per day cleaning up daily detritus before it becomes overwhelming.
—Take everything out of a drawer or closet and spread it out in front of you. You'll eliminate more and organize what's left more efficiently if you can see it all at once. (This also gives you a chance to clear out the dust and run a damp rag over the surface.)
—Mark four boxes or bags "Keep," "Give Away," "Throw Away," and "Hold for One Year." (The last one's for items you don't need or use but just can't bear to part with yet. If you haven't touched these things in a year, their time has come.)
—If in doubt, throw it out. Give it to Goodwill or any of the charitable organizations who send trucks around to collect it. Or give it away on Craig's List. Nothing moves faster than the stuff in the "Free" listings.
—If you can't find a good home for something, it's time to say farewell.
—Get rid of two items every time you buy a new one.
—Keep like items with like: cups, baking goods, candles, etc.
—Allow only three items on each surface.
—Cover only about one-tenth of a table; use objects of differing sizes.
—Just say no to refrigerator magnets. They encourage clutter.
—Keep windowsills clear of knickknacks and potted plants.
—Keep clutter contained. Use baskets and bowls to collect mail, pens and pencils, loose change and all the other odds and ends that collect on counters and tabletops.
—Storage is key to containing clutter. Storage areas should make up at least ten percent of your home's total square footage and be placed so that you can store items where they're used. (If you can't get rid of the stuff, hide it well.)
—Furnishings that do double duty as storage help minimize clutter. A wicker chest holding blankets can serve as a coffee table in the TV room; a small chest of drawers makes a great end table.

This week's options may seem a tad scarce, but that's only because there were worthy shows to check out all weekend long and now it seems like a drop-off, but that's to be expected.
That being said, Monday is highlighted by having of the biggest pop stars on the planet bringing her "California Dreams" tour into Salt Lake's EnergyS olutions Arena. If you like high-energy dancing, big hits and lots of extras, this is your show. Perry's talent is pretty undeniable and it'll be interesting to see if she lives up to the hype that's swirled around her since 2007.
Tickets start at $30 and are still available.
This is Katy Perry's video for her smash hit "California Gurls" with Snoop Dogg.
And don't forget Monday night offers one more chance at baseball and fireworks when the Salt Lake Bees host Tacoma on Monday night at 7:05 p.m. To some, baseball season seems like it goes on forever, but trust me, there haven't been as many good chances to see the Bees this year as normal because May was such a cool, wet month, so enjoy it while you can folks.
A decidedly lower-key option than Perry's concert, and with about one-1000th the number of teenagers, is available to concert-goers on Wednesday night when Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers bring their diverse brand of rock into Red Butte for what should be a night of top-flight musicianship.
Not only does Hornsby, pictured above, take a back seat to no one on the piano, but banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck and his supremely talented band the Flecktones are the openers in what should be a cool night of tunes under the stars. And as all my Deadhead buddies will tell you, Hornsby played quite a few concerts with Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead back in the early '90s, and he still plays some of that band's material from time-to-time. A handful of tickets are left. They start at $42 and remain on sale at Red Butte's website.
Check out Hornsby playing "Gonna Be Some Changes Made."

Fort Collins, Colo. – The Black Hills State University softball team lost two games on the final day of the Triple Crown Classic in Fort Collins, Colo.
The Yellow Jackets dropped the first game of the day 9-7 to Metro State. The second game was a 3-2 loss at the hands of Colorado State.
"We played really well against some good competition," said head coach Amy Gurney. "It is nice to play a couple of games like this in the fall so that we can evaluate where we are at and what we need to do over the winter to prepare ourselves for the spring season."

The next few weeks include three don't-miss concerts:
2001 Hall of Fame inductee Paul Simon will be at the University of Akron's EJ Thomas Hall on Wednesday, November 23. Simon's latest album, So Beautiful Or So What, is his first album since Surprise in 2006, and has earned expansive critical acclaim. The album continues a tradition of delivering original songs that reflect the veteran songwriter's eclectic influences. Note that Cleveland's own award-winning world percussionist and drummer, Jamey Haddad, will be on stage in his long running role as percussionist in Simon's band, helping negotiate the varied rhythms found on So Beautiful – and beyond – for a live audience.
Paul Simon - "Getting Ready For Christmas Day" (from So Beautiful Or So What)
Falling close on the heels of Simon's show is an incredible funk lineup at PlayhouseSquare's State Theatre on Saturday, November 26: The Mary Jane Girls featuring Val Young, "Mister Cool" Morris Day and the Time ("Girl," "Jungle Love") and Cameo, whose 1986 album Word Up! produced two certified funk hits in the title track and ...

Looking for Super Heroes Movement classes, African Drum instruction or just good old ballet lessons? Check out Catholic Charities Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Center's new Project Performing Arts dance programs for children.
Administered by Nina Klivert-Lawson, this former performing arts director worked for 26 years at The Harbor, a well-known community organization in East Harlem. She and her instructors collaborate with Catholic Charities and the Archdiocese Office of Black Ministry to provide classes to youth registered as members of the center.
Volunteer instructors screened by Catholic Charities' volunteer division provide skilled instruction each Saturday at Kennedy Center. Not surprisingly, the various dance classes – that also include drama as well as modern, liturgical, jazz and African dance – have often attracted over 70 participants ages 4 years to 18.
These new classes bring added life to this already active center. They also broaden the center's reach to middle-school-aged children and their parents, linking them to the numerous social and social service programs offered there. Perhaps most important, the programs expose neighborhood children to the arts while encouraging life-skill disciplines that help them perform better in school and in life.

Great product
Reviewer: A viewer from Little Elm, TX US
These are really nice, bright, and vibrant coloration. I bought these for tying wing casings but would recomend them for wings and any other tying needs. The were matched well, very long length, and have plenty of material on them. Great deal for the price.
Reviewer: A viewer from Decatur, GA US
I also use these for midge bodies and they hold up very well, especially if you put a light coat of varnish on the thread before you wrap the "hurl". My pairs were matched well so I was able to get some nice wings out of it as well. Overall, a sturdy versatile set of feathers!
Great Feathers
Reviewer: A viewer from Lawrenceville, GA US
The pair of feathers were dead on matched and both look great. They make excellent wing cases and I have also been experimenting with some woven flies. This is a good choice and great feathers for the price.

ZF-1838: findManyToManyRowset fails because the table _schema attribute isn't used
in Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract the method findManyToManyRowset doesnt use the _schema attribute for the tables involved in the operation, fixed it by changing the following code
$interInfo = $intersectionTable->info();
$interName = $interInfo['name'];

to this
$interInfo = $intersectionTable->info();

$matchInfo = $matchTable->info();
$matchName = ( isset($matchInfo['schema']) ? $matchInfo['schema'] . '.' : '') . $matchInfo['name'];
Assigning to [~bkarwin] to initiate issue review.
I have also come across this issue, and the attached fix works for me.

This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
10 months and still waiting.
13 months and still waiting.
Do you think you could write test case that proves the fix?
The Zend_Db Testsuite is a hazzle to work with, I have to say.
Why is there no Mock Db Adapter that is used completly for a complete test run of Zend_Db_Table?
I do make the following assumptions for my workaround, implemented as a scenario test-case.
- The bug completely depends on Zend_Db_Select
- Zend_Db_Select testcases therefore cover the changes in their unittest suites.
- I build a scenario testcase for pdo_mysql and printed the before, after select statements of the ManyToMany.
This logic argument should cover the testcase 100%, thanks :-) I'll commit the patch.

Salt Lakers will easily take a quick weekend trip down to Moab for biking and hiking, and Colorado's Wine Country is only a little farther down the road—specifically, one hour farther. From Green River, you'll skip the road that leads to Moab (Utah Highway 191) and continue on I-70 into Colorado. And if you're hankering for mountain biking, Palisade's neighbor Fruita is home to a Moab-rivaling trail system. Plus you can use your bike on Palisade's wine-and-fruit highway.
Where to Stay
Next to the Grand River Vineyards, the Wine Country Inn (777 Grande River Dr., Palisade, 888-855-8330, coloradowinecountryinn.com) is a full-service hotel with one of the town's rare pools. The rooms are comfortable and the service top notch. The inn's restaurant serves Colorado wines as well. In nearby Clifton, Mariner Family Farm (674 33rd Rd., Clifton, 970-434-3103, marinerfamilyfarm.com) is a B&B on a working farm run by Sherrie and Kim Mariner.

Ward Coleman (New Hanover) ended the game by mercy rule with a 2-RBI double of his own. Bryan Sammons (Hoggard/Western Carolina) started the second game and threw four more shutout innings. Post 10 struck for five first-inning runs and Steven Linkous (North Brunswick/UNCW) tacked on two more runs.

Benjamin Franklin was the most famous American in his day. Wherever he went, crowds formed. People worldwide pictured Franklin when anyone said, "American."
The diversity that is the Internet may be epitomized by few people in history — Benjamin Franklin is one such person, commercially successful, ever concerned and involved with the public good, a great communicator, and a remarkable man of science and technology, finding practical effective solutions to real problems.
Trying to comprehend Benjamin Franklin's life and legacy is like trying to grab a shadow. Each time one tries to get a fix on the reflection, it darts away and grows even larger.
By turns pamphleteer, apprentice, printer, balladeer, inventor, philosopher, politician, soldier, firefighter, ambassador, family man, sage, delegate, signer, shopkeeper, bookseller, cartoonist, grandfather, anti-slavery agitator, Mason, and deist he was all of the above and none of the above.
His great biographer Carl Van Doren called Franklin "a harmonious human multitude." As Franklin was an "electrician" also, we kept looking for a common current that defined him. From the time he was a teenager thinking about ways of education to the time he was an 83-year-old man agitating for abolition, the mainspring of the "human multitude" may well have been public service.
The remarkable Benjamin Franklin, a printer by trade, a scientist by fame, and a man of action by all accounts, continues to shape American thinking and action. The Independence Hall Association, owners of ushistory.org, has commissioned and assembled resources for you to explore the diversity that was Benjamin Franklin.
Each generation produces people who reshape their world. Benjamin Franklin was one such man.

DRC: Minister Reynders regrets the suspension of Radio Okapi transmissions
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders regrets the decision by the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to suspend the broadcasts of Radio Okapi for four days. This radio station plays an important role in spreading useful and neutral information to the local population. By virtue of this key role in promoting peace and human rights, Belgium supports the activities of Radio Okapi.
The minister hopes that a quick solution can be found to resume broadcasts, which appear to have been interrupted for administrative reasons with no apparent serious grounds.
The broadcasts are all the more important at this time to the population of North Kivu, who are fleeing from fighting, abuse and violence.

Zebra Baby Shower (35 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This "Zebra" themed baby shower has the perfect amount of sparkle!
When I was contacted by the mommy to be, I got so excited because this was a new theme for me. I immediately began to create glamours ideas.
I started off with the desired unborn baby's name "Paris", that's why the "P" on the entrance table and cake topper.
For this creation I used the following materials: black frame, zebra design paper, a black wood letter, two-toned pink rhinestones and glue.
For the entrance tables backdrop I used a 4x36 plywood covered in a pink fabric, detailed with two silver ribbons across and centered with a black ornate frame.
As you see, favors were also placed on the entrance table along with a flower arrangement. The mercury vase was decorated with a black satin ribbon and garnished it with a round silver buckle.
On the sweets table I went a little more towards the glitz side by using a beaded curtain as my backdrop. The idea was to create a shimmering diamond effect, and it played out to it's best!
For more lighting effects, I used silver cake stands and three silver plates edged with clear rhinestones. A simple way to incorporate the zebra theme, I added zebra wrapping paper as liners for the stands as well as the plates.
Guests enjoyed a various selection of sweets, such as cake-pops, cake-bites, chocolate covered oreos, mini cup-cakes and sugar cookies all done by The "Sprinkle Parade". (WWW.FAEBOOK.COM/SPRINKLEPARADE)
The cake was done by The "Little Sugar Shop". (WWW.LITTLESUGARSHOP.COM)

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Rabies is a viral infection of certain warm-blooded animals and is caused by a virus in the Rhabdoviridae family. It attacks the nervous system and, once symptoms develop, it is 100 percent fatal in animals, if left untreated.
In North America, rabies occurs mainly in skunks, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and bats. In some areas, these wild animals infect domestic cats, dogs, and livestock. In the United States, cats are more likely than dogs to be rabid.
Individual states maintain information about animals that may carry rabies. it is best to check for region specific information if you are unsure about a specific animal and have been bitten.
The rabies virus enters the body through a cut or scratch, or through mucous membranes (such as the lining of the mouth and eyes), and travels to the central nervous system. Once the infection reaches the brain, the virus travels into the nerves and multiplies in different organs.
The salivary glands and organs are most important in the spread of rabies from one animal to another. When an infected animal bites another animal, the rabies virus is transmitted through the infected animal's saliva. Scratches by claws of rabid animals are also dangerous because these animals lick their claws.
The incubation in humans from the time of exposure to the onset of illness can range anywhere from five days to more than a year, although the average incubation period is about two months. The following are the most common symptoms of rabies. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of rabies may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
In animals, a test called direct fluorescent antibody test (dFA) is often used to detect rabies. Test results are usually known within a few hours. Knowing these results may save a child from undergoing treatment if the animal is not rabid.
In humans, a number of tests are needed to confirm or rule out rabies, as no single test can be used to rule out the disease with certainty. Tests are performed on samples of serum, saliva, spinal fluid, and skin biopsies taken from the nape of the neck.
Your child's physician will determine specific treatment for rabies. Unfortunately, there is no known, effective treatment for rabies once symptoms of the disease occur. However, there is an effective new vaccine that provides immunity to rabies when given after an exposure. It may also be used for protection before an exposure occurs, for persons such as veterinarians and animal handlers.
Being safe around animals, even your own pets, can help reduce the risk of animal bites. Some general guidelines for avoiding animal bites and rabies include the following:
Teaching your child about animal safety may also help to prevent animal bites. Some things to remember include the following:
If you or someone you know has been bitten by an animal, remember to report the following facts to your healthcare provider:

Rated 3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by renski it works well and looks great! bought this in combo with the shell mini chandelier ( to get free shipping) and it was a great buy. Works, easy installation and the silver is a nice departure from black and white. March 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mohican Works, but cord looks awful The pro of this item is its easy compatibility with WM pendants. As far as installation, it goes up pretty much like any other ceiling fixture. I know some folks are grousing about the cord being long, but it's meant to be adjustable. If you can't figure out how to shorten the cord, you probably shouldn't be messing with wiring anyway and should call a pro. My big beef is how cheap and plasticy the visible cord is. It looks like old stereo speaker wire from the 60s. It ships with the cord all folded up, leading to kinks that are nearly impossible to fully remove. I'm thinking of replacing the cord on mine with some nice cloth-wrapped vintage-looking cord. Suggest WM look at a similar change! December 26, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by angiebee5 Looks chintzy We purchased this to go along with the large capiz chandelier. While we LOVE the chandelier, we were disappointed that this wiring kit was simply that: a wire. It really looked lame in comparison to the gorgeous light, so we ended up buying a nicer looking one from Home Depot for about $30 (one that has an actual rod, rather than just the electrical cord). We have this item packed up and ready to return to World Market. February 17, 2015

Milestone 1 - DONE
- server
- command-line client
- simple web-site
Kechel 02:01, 10 November 2006 (PST)
- First let's do the basic programming for it. I think I'll first implement the server with the interface as described in PT_Server
- Then we can start to write the XSLT Files, which means that *I really need help* from people that translate my english to real english, or write some easy readable texts for the website (mostly a non-technical translation of Timestamping_Introduction ) The XSLT Files will create the website as described in Timestamping_Introduction
- For the beginning, I'll just adapt my prevalent-timestamping-client (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=135950&package_id=154571) to publictimestamp-client. It basically does the same, it just uses a not well defined interface yet. As soon as the server is working, I'll change this (as well as its layout etc.).
- Then sourceforge.net and kernel.org will start using those. And we can ask others to do so as well (like the waybackmachine, freshmeat, berlios, alioth, etc.)
- Don't forget Publications of Timestamps (even if the idea with that TB-Extension makes this almost obsolete :) ( PT_Clients )
Yet to do:
- gui-client
Already done things:
- thunderbird-extension
- command line script to get latest PTB signature
- PTB and PTB-INFO mirror script
- downloading and timestamping all new releases from major mirrors / software hosting sites partly done (software infrastructure is working, I do mirror mirror.switch.ch with my private server, lots of other sites still need to be convinced of doing this themselves .. )
- translations (german, spanish, ... )
- firefox-extension
- convince more sites to publictimestamp new files !
- .. ideas?

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 16 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SleeplessinLA Great lamp! Overall a great lamp. Emits beautiful glowing light. The design is simple and glows a good amount of light for any small to medium space. The only comment I have about the construction of the lamp is that the bottom part of the socket is loose. So the power cord has to sit evenly with the placement surface. Then it won't flicker. It's really an easy fix. Great buy and value! August 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by leafhat Simple elegance My husband and I love this lamp! We have three of them scattered around the house for indirect lighting. They're tall enough to sit on the floor, but not too large to place on a table. They're made very well - the frame is solid wood with rustic textured fabric panels for diffusing the light. They require no assembly, and are packaged very well. Excellent! December 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paisley Love this lamp Have had this lamp for 10 years-use it as a lovely accent lamp on a table in the entry way. It has held up beautifully-still looks new. December 13, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by aubergine from the bedroom to the living room i had it in my bedroom in my old house. we have it now in our big gorgous condo w high ceilings, and EVERYONE compliements how beautiful they are! May 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by charlie Nara Table Lamps Very attractive and gives off ambient light, butstill am able to read, etc. Very good product February 22, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by New Home Owner Bought one 7 years ago We bought one on a while way back, have loved it ever since and recently picked up a matching one so we can promote them to end table lamps.Puts off some really nice light, from incandescents to even full-spectrum CF bulbs.Design, and weight is unmatchable. January 24, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Global Gal A Real Beauty I bought this lamp several years ago and still love it. I have it in my living room on a tall chest with some Asian decor. I don't have a ceiling light or spotlights in the room, so this highlights the objects on the chest with a soft light. One of the best things about this lamp is that the shade is a sturdy fabric and not paper, which I found can tear easily. October 30, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Eliza Gentle, But enough light We have two of these, one on each night stand and they are great. They provide enough light to read, etc., but the light is soft enough it doesn't bother the other person if they are trying to sleep. Plus they look great. : ) October 29, 2010

This month's Rock and Roll Night School explores the origins of Motown Records. Founded in 1959 by Berry Gordy, Motown Records quickly became known as the "Sound of Young America" during the mid to late-1960s. This class will focus on the early years of Motown Records, and some of its subsidiaries such as Tamla, Miracle, and Divinity. We will listen to the first singles released by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, and the Temptations, but we will also dig deeper into the forgotten early singles by groups like the Satintones (Motown's "first" group), Popcorn & the Mohawks, and Nick & the Jaguars.
In conjunction with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Black History Month celebration of Stax Records, this month's Rock and Roll Night School will focus on the legendary recordings on Stax Records, looking at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees like Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Sam and Dave, Booker T. & the MGs, and Isaac Hayes.
By 1964, many American teenagers had drifted from the raw sound of 1950s rock and roll and were instead listening to the "bubblegum" pop of teen idols and girl groups. The revitalization of rock music in the United States came from an unlikely source - England. In England, early rock and roll had been mixed with British folk music, jazz, and the blues. Between 1964 and 1968 this mixture would produce some of the most legendary rock bands ever, such as the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Who, and the Kinks. This month's Rock and Roll Night School will explore the impact of the British Invasion, specifically in 1964. We will discuss classic albums by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees such as Dusty Springfield, the Beatles, Dave Clark Five, the Rolling Stones, and the Animals.
In addition to their six Top 40 songs, the Yardbirds will be remembered most as the launching pad for the careers of three of the biggest blues-based guitarists of the '60s: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Clapton was on board when the group recorded their early songs but he left shortly after recording their first U.S. hit, "For Your Love." This month's Rock and Roll Night School explores the music of the Yardbirds during Eric Clapton's brief, yet productive, tenure with the group including their classic early albums Five Live Yardbirds, For Your Love, and Having a Rave Up.
The impact of the Beatles upon popular music cannot be overstated; they revolutionized the music industry and touched the lives of all who heard them in deep and fundamental ways. Landing on these shores on February 7, 1964, they literally stood the world of pop culture on its head, setting the musical agenda for the remainder of the decade. This month's Rock and Roll Night School will explore the Beatles' first two films - A Hard Day's Night (July 1964) and Help! (July 1965). The evening will feature excerpts from both films and, in addition, will feature in-depth discussions of several songs from the revolutionary soundtracks.
In conjunction with the exhibit Mike McCartney's Liverpool Life, Rock and Roll Night School hosted a lecture with Mike McCartney which featured incredible black-and-white photographs documenting the origins of the British Invasion.
This month's Rock and Roll Night School explored examples of "Blue-Eyed Soul" music that was popular between 1965 and 1968 during the height of the Civil Rights Movement. The term "blue-eyed soul" was first used in the 1960s to describe white singers whose style was heavily influenced by soul and rhythm and blues that grew from African-American culture. The evening will feature in-depth discussion of Inductees such as the Righteous Brothers ("You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling") and the Rascals ("Good Lovin'"), as well as other performers including the Box Tops, Tom Jones, and Mitch Ryder.
Formed in 1962, the Rolling Stones are the longest-lived continuously active group in rock and roll history. Throughout five decades of shifting tastes in the arena of popular music, the Stones have kept rolling, adapting to the latest sounds and styles without straying too far from their origins as a blues-based rock and roll band. This month's Rock and Roll Night School will explore the origins of "the World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band" - from their time as the house band of the famous Crawdaddy Club to their first international number one hit in 1965, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction."
The sweet vocal harmonies of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel remain one of the more cherished sounds of the Sixties. The music made by the New York natives was fueled by a mutual love of early rock and roll and a search for inspiration beyond the conventional borders of folk and pop. This month's Rock and Roll Night School will explore the short, but extremely productive, career of Simon and Garfunkel - from their first top 40 hit "Hey, Schoolgirl" (recorded using the alias Tom and Jerry) to their magnum opus, Bridge Over Troubled Water, in 1970. The evening will feature in-depth discussions of classic songs like "The Sounds of Silence," "Mrs. Robinson" and many others.
In conjunction with the Rock Hall's newest exhibit, Cleveland Rocks: The Birthplace of Rock and Roll, please join us for this special evening with renowned rock and roll photographer George Shuba and esteemed curator Jon Jicha. As a part of the Museum's ongoing Rock and Roll Night School series, Shuba and Jicha will discuss Shuba's photographs. A book signing will follow this event.

19-year-old with loaded gun stopped at Daytona airport
Published: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 7:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 10:16 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Transportation Safety Administration officers stopped a 19-year-old Ormond Beach resident with a loaded gun Wednesday morning at Daytona Beach International Airport, an official said.
Officers caught Thomas Suddard trying to bring a loaded .32 caliber Colt pistol through the checkpoint about 5:40 a.m. Wednesday, according to a Volusia County sheriff's incident report.
Suddard said he inherited the gun, which contained nine live rounds, from his grandfather, and he had forgotten it was in his bag, according to the report.
The Sheriff's Office collected the gun and rounds as evidence and filed a complaint against Suddard for carrying a concealed firearm, according to the report.
Charges against Suddard are pending as it is an open case.
He was supposed to leave on a flight at 6 a.m. but caught a later flight out of Daytona Beach, the report states.

|Telles, Bossio go one-two
PULLMAN, Wash. - Idaho sophomore Damien Telles fired a course record tying 65 Tuesday to pull past teammate Jarred Bossio to win the Palouse Cougar Collegiate with a 15-under 201. Bossio was right behind with a 13-under 203 as the Vandals claimed second in their first tournament of the fall.
Host Washington State won the 54-hole tournament with a collective 827. The Vandals were at 839 and Portland was third at 847 in the 16-team field.
"It was a fun day to be out there," said coach John Means, who only took over the team last Wednesday. "(Former coach) Jon Reehoorn did a great job in bringing in some mighty good athletes. I'm happy and proud to take over a program in such good condition."
The difference Tuesday, Means said, was Telles' and Bossio's ability to capitalize on their short games.
Telles' closing round 65 came after an opening 66 and a second-round 70. Bossio, the first day leader, had rounds of 68-65-70 for his runner-up finish.
Also for the Vandals, Stefan Richardson tied for 30th at 217, Zach Wanderscheid tied for 36th at 219, and Matt Rawitzer tied for 72nd at 226.

Reviews for Crisp Lemon Cookies
"This is a nice cookie! It is a lemon-y butter-y shortbread kind of cookie, although the lemon flavoring in the actual cookie is subtle. I used a lemon glaze rather than the white chocolate, and I am very glad I did! They tasted so good the next day! I will try this with orange next time. This would be a nice cookie for a tea party!"
"My sister in law made these for an Open House at a store that she works in. She brought me a few and OMG, I loved them. They are light and crunchy. She dipped half of the cookie in white chocolate, but not necessary. . You could even do orange for another flavor. Now I found the recipe here, I can make my own. Try them , You won't be disappointed."
"These are indeed light and crisp, however, I had a hard time thinning the chocolate to the right consistency."
"Light and crisp. My husband LOVES them (so do I). I left off the drizzle and they were awsome."
"These are EXCELLENT! And so easy to make! I couldn't believe how good AND easy they are! Will make them again. I feel they don't need the melted chocolate"

Is there further information/documentation about the scope of the data structures (icl_hash (for task and address lookup), bsd_tree (for FIFO and LIFO queues), icl_list, quark) than the actual code at Quark ?
More detail than some of the current working notes that does not include the hashing nor other implementations (trees, queues) would be appreciated.
I have modified the matmul example to call DGEMM from BLAS under ACML (single threaded) and I was able to achieve slightly better performance (83%) than the multithreaded version of ACML (80%) on our latest AMD processors (Interlagos and Abudhabi). I believe though I can get more performance (~90%) out of quark if I understand better the tuning parameters such as sliding window and locality + work stealing.
One comment that catched my attention on the documentation is that it was recommended to use "numactl --interleave=all ./executable".
This makes no sense if you are really trying to leverage locality on a NUMA system. All the theory of work stealing but not stealing tasks that would incur into remote memory accesses goes away if you run threads under a system with interleaved memory configuration.
If you run something like DGEMM kernels, definitely, it does not make a big difference to run in interleaved but if you run L[1,2] BLAS kernels, then you raise the level of memory bandwidth requirements so you start being penalized by interleaved configurations.
I want to be able to understand how it is implemented in Quark the work stealing that is cache hierarchy aware.
It should be for instance doable to apply work stealing with not only locality policies but also power policies.

Didier Reynders thanks Turkey for allowing military equipment from Afghanistan to be repatriated across its territory
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders greatly appreciates the decision of the Turkish government to allow the repatriation of Belgian military equipment from Afghanistan across Turkish territory. The repatriation is to take place via the port of Trabzon in the north east of the country on the Black Sea. The authorisation, announced today, is granted for the entire repatriation operation, which is to begin in mid-November.
Didier Reynders was able to raise the issue with his Turkish counterpart, Ahmet Davutoğlu, during talks on 18 October in the margins of the Economic Princely Mission to Turkey. This decision bears witness to the outstanding bilateral relations between Belgium and Turkey, as were already demonstrated during this important economic mission.

Miami Dolphins add two more former Cowboys
The Miami Dolphins nickname of Dallas South and Cowphins became even more valid this week as former Cowboys executive Jeff Ireland and former Cowboys assistant Tony Sparano added two more ex-Cowboys.
The Dolphins signed defensive lineman Igor Olshansky, who can plays nose tackle and defense end, and nickel cornerback Nate Jones on Tuesday.
Each player signed a one-deal deal and should serve as insurance for the team's growing list of injured players.
Defensive end Tony McDaniel is sidelined with a broken right hand, which was surgically repaired last week. Starting defensive end Randy Starks is also nursing a left leg injury the team hasn't disclosed. Starks' participating durin Sunday's game against Houston was limited by the upper leg issue.
Jones, who spent the 2008 and 2009 season with the Dolphins, was added to improve the team's poor cornerback depth. Jones, who was one of the final players cut in Denver, spent his two seasons in Miami as the team's starting nickel cornerback and a core special teams player.
It's likely that he'll return to that role if Vontae Davis' hamstring issue keeps him from playing. If that's the case expect veteran cornerback Will Allen to man the starting boundary spot opposite Sean Smith. However, it's possible Allen could continue to man the nickel spot while Nolan Carroll starts on the boundary.
Jones' signing now means the Dolphins have six cornerbacks on the 53-man roster. The Dolphins already cut tailback Larry Johnson to make room on the roster, but another player must be cut or placed on injured reserve.
The Dolphins are also concerned about the groin injury Karlos Dansby has been battling. Depth at inside linebacker is also thin. If Dansby can't practice this week its doubtful he'll play in Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
Olshansky and Jones addition means the Dolphins presently have six former Cowboys on the 2011 roster.

Cold-weather sewer correction
Keller Construction Inc. used 13-foot pipe because 20-foot lengths were too much of a reach for the companys John Deere 450 excavator. Backfill consisted of a bed of rock over the top of the pipe, followed by the native soil.
Statewide Urban Design and Specifications Director Paul Wiegand and Advanced Drainage Systems Paul Hutton confer about other installations that could use the ADS pipe to reduce costs and extend service life. SUDAS develops common design standards and specifications for public improvements such as sanitary sewers.
A-Lok premium gaskets ensure a watertight insertion into precast concrete manholes.
Even with a 67% population increase from 2000 to 2010, Grimes remains one the fastest-growing communities in Iowa. This project involved 1,857 feet of 48-inch and 3,000 feet of 36-inch Advanced Drainage Systems SaniTite HP pipe.
Though his firm had installed Advanced Drainage Systems black, corrugated HDPE pipe, this was contractor Darin Kellers first experience with the companys triple-wall SaniTite HP. After installation, he crawled through the entire mile-long line with a mandrel to confirm the integrity of the pipes shape.
In late 2011, three consecutive days of heavy rain overloaded the combined storm/sanitary sewer system in Grimes, Iowa, a city of about 8,000 residents just west of Des Moines. This produced the usual objectionable result: gray water backing up into residential basements.
The city's municipal water department asked Fox Engineering of Ames, Iowa, to investigate. Founded in 1993, Fox Engineering is an environmental firm that's served as the city's wastewater collection and treatment consultant since 1998.
"We looked at the sanitary sewer that runs through a development corridor and found that a 24-inch outfall line was near capacity and subject to added inflow and infiltration," says John Gade, P.E., a Fox Engineering employee who serves as the city engineer. "We recommended a new line be installed."
The existing line was made of clay pipe and had been in the ground for nearly 40 years. Fox Engineering recommended installing a new line parallel to the old one. Although the old line would be plugged, it could be temporarily unplugged to accommodate future maintenance on the new line.
Unfortunately, it was winter.
"The actual work started in January and was completed in March 2012, not usually the ideal time of the year to be installing pipe in Iowa," Gade says. "Fortunately, we had two things going for us: the pipe and unusually mild weather."
The firm considered materials it had worked with, which included reinforced concrete, ductile iron, fiberglass, and PVC. Gade then met with Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. (ADS) Engineer Jim Merchlewitz and representative Paul Hutton to learn about projects in which SaniTite HP polypropylene pipe, introduced in 2008 specifically for the gravity-flow sanitary sewer market, had been used.
Based on an analysis of the product, Fox determined the pipe was durable enough to stand up to virtually any gas or liquid found in a sanitary sewer. While not part of the original analysis, it also had a price advantage.
"We've used a lot of the black ADS corrugated HDPE pipe for stormwater projects, but this was the first time we worked with SaniTite HP," says Darin Keller, whose firm installed 1,857 feet of 48-inch and 3,000 feet of 36-inch pipe. "I like the product."
Owner: City of Grimes, Iowa
Engineering consultant: Fox Engineering, Ames, Iowa
Contractor: Keller Construction Inc., Boone, Iowa
"It doesn't matter whether it's summer or not, the installers are going to chip the bells and crack the spigots when they lower concrete into the trench box," Keller says. "And we would have had to put in the plastic lock liner and welded it in at every joint. Fiberglass has issues in cold weather, and when you cut it there are fibers to contend with; you don't want to breathe them and they can burn the guy doing the cutting.
"The ADS pipe isn't heavy. You can drop it from 20 feet and it's not going to break, even in the winter."
Merchlewitz and Hutton suggested using A-Lok Products Inc. premium gaskets to ensure a watertight insertion of the pipe into precast concrete manholes. "It fits the triple-wall really tight so there's no need to grout," Keller says. "The pipe didn't need any additional adapters, making installation fast but giving us flexibility. We had no leaks, and no problems."
Keller used 13-foot instead of 20-foot sticks because the trench box was 25 feet long.
"The shorter pipe gave us room on each side for safety," he says. "When we're 20 feet deep, it's too much of a reach for our excavator (John Deere 450; 110,000-class)."
Backfill consisted of a bed of rock over the top of the pipe, followed by the native soil.
Representatives from the state DOT and Iowa's Statewide Urban Design and Specifications, the organization that develops common design standards and specifications for public improvements such as sanitary sewers, visited the jobsite to review the use of pipe in other installations.
In addition to vacuum- and pressure-testing, Keller actually went inside and mandrelled the pipe. "I crawled through the run to see if there were any issues," he says. "Overall, the pipe went in good and tested good. We saw very little deflection. We also tested the joints, all of which were fine."
Grimes' population increased 67% from 2000 to 2010, and it remains one the fastest-growing communities in the state and region. To provide for increasing industrial and residential development, Fox Engineering has determined which trunk mains needed to be replaced.
"We developed a plan of action that will enable the city to continue to attract more residents and businesses," Gade says. "It's already moving ahead with plans to revitalize Main Street, a project scheduled to be completed in 2014. Our sanitary sewer system plan will handle all these and other future demands."
