In 1996 Atlanta-based ConShield Technologies Inc. introduced a germicidal liquid that bonds molecularly with concrete, shotcrete, and repair mortars to keep single-celled organisms like Thiobacillus from growing and producing sulfuric acid. Nontoxic to humans and animals and EPA-registered as biocide #75174-2-47000, ConmicShield additive kills the bacteria by rupturing its membrane.
Unlike a coating or liner, the liquid is evenly dispersed throughout the concrete mixture of a pipe or other asset. As a result, maintenance-related wear and tear doesn't compromise a structure by scraping off and giving bacteria a foothold. According to Sales and Marketing Manager Joe Cherry, on average ConmicShield adds $3 to $4/square foot for a new 48-inch manhole compared to $12 to $14/square foot for a coating and $15 to $20/square foot for plastic liners.
Intrigued by a low-cost rehabilitation option that doesn't require infield welding and spark or adhesion testing, managers in Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin use the product for new precast concrete pipe and structures and for manhole repair. If the structure's basically sound, the interior can be coated with special cementitious liners that includes ConmicShield additive. If beyond repair, a precast producer can be directed to include the product — typically at a rate of 1 gallon/cubic yard — in the design mix for a new manhole.
An early adopter, the Hampton Wastewater Division in Virginia opted to repair assets in-house through the "City Self-Install Program" offered by AP/M Permaform of Johnston, Iowa. A $100,000 investment (which the manufacturer can finance) buys a bidirectional device called the SpinCaster that flings ConmicShield-infused mortar onto a structure in one direction, then the other, at 5,000 rpm. The operator uses a winch to repeatedly raise and lower the device through the manhole's center to apply an even layer of mixture ranging from ½ to 2 inches thick. ASTM International developed standard F-2551 for lining manholes and is developing a similar standard for lining pipe — WK 26451 — using this technique, called centrifugally cast concrete pipe (CCCP).
According to the company, a three-person crew can do four to eight sanitary or storm manholes and catch basins a day. Since 2000, Hampton's crews have done 3,200, which is almost 30% of the city's 11,000 manholes; and Collection System Manager Barry Dobbins says the operation has "nothing but positive things to say about the product."
This is how Chicago's Department of Streets & Sanitation is fixing 20,000 manholes, the world's largest such rehabilitation, though the $60 million project is being performed by two licensed applicators: Smith Maintenance Co. and Benchmark Construction Co. Inc., both of Chicago. Having specified an impermeable material that would provide a minimum of 3,000 psi compressive strength and 150,000 psi modulus of elasticity within 24 hours, engineers chose a 1- to 2-inch layer of AP/M Permaform's MS-10,000 Permacast cement with ConmicShield sealed and then coated with a layer of epoxy to protect against road salts in the storm sewer.
The City of Westlake, Ohio, will receive an achievement award from the North American Society for Trenchless Technology this month for one of the first horizontal rehabilitations.
Initially, managers considered cured-in-place pipe for a 40-year-old interceptor that had lost up to 1½ inches from 6-inch-thick walls. But most of the damage was within 25 feet of trunk lines. It wasn't cost-effective to tear apart extremely deep manholes to insert the lining when a SpinCaster could be inserted anywhere along the interceptor and adjusted to inside diameters ranging from 36 to 60 inches. In the end, ½-inch of ConmicShield-infused PL-8000 cement was applied to half of the 7,200-foot asset.
With ConShield Technologies right in its backyard, Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management used the additive in a major shotcrete pipe repair project in 1997. The city uses the same self-install program that Hampton, Va., does using Permacast with ConmicShield additive.

Someone who holds No. 64 in the wait-list line for a Sundance Film Festival movie at the Eccles Center would make into the theater -- the last from the wait-list line to do so -- at a typical screening.
But a person holding No. 44 at the Library Center Theatre could be the first person from the wait-list line there who does not get inside.
Sundance Film Festival organizers in this year's film guide provide detailed information about the wait-list process, including the average number of people from the wait-list line who are admitted at each theater.
The wait list is a time-honored part of the Sundance experience that attracts both power players from Hollywood wearing their festival badges and day-tripping people from elsewhere in Utah, all hoping their time in line will yield a ticket.
The festival for the first time in 2012 published the wait-list averages and did so again this year. They are listed on page 80 of the film guide, headlined 'How To Fest.'
"It was a big goal of ours to set expectations," said Jackie Landry, who is Sundance's senior manager of theater operations, describing the information as being "incredibly helpful."
The numbers that are listed in the film guide were compiled during last year's festival.
Some of the averages for Park City-area theaters include:
People in wait-list lines usually account for more than 10 percent of the audience at screenings at Redstone Cinemas as well as at three of the four theaters at Holiday Village Cinemas.
Landry said people in the wait-list line are more likely to get into a screening if they are at one of the larger theaters.
Sundance distributes wait-list numbers two hours before screenings or one hour beforehand for the first film of the day at each theater. There is a capped number of wait- list positions at each theater. Once the cap is reached, Sundance will not give out additional wait-list numbers.
Tickets are then sold to people in the wait-list line if there are seats available inside the theater, sometimes just minutes prior to the start of the film. People buying wait-list tickets must pay with cash.
More information about wait-list tickets is available on Sundance's website, www.sundance.org /festival. Once there, choose the 'Get Tickets' dropdown menu and then 'How to Buy Tickets.' Select the 'Individual Tickets' link. The information is under the 'Waitlist Tickets' section.

Agrotourism is a growing trend in the US, and many parts of the world including Australia, and Canada. Agritourism, or "agritainment," is any agriculturally involved activity that brings people out to a farm or ranch. It can include buying fruit from a farm stand, navigating a corn maze, feeding animals, or staying at a B&B on a farm. It is a great alternative for improving the incomes and potential economic viability of small farms and rural communities.

La Monnaie ¦ Opera ¦ Au monde ¦ Intro
Au monde
Joël Pommerat
In a huge apartment in a twilight atmosphere, an old man, rich and powerful through the large international companies he has developed, yet in a weakened physical state, is getting ready to hand over the responsibility for his businesses. Surrounded by his nearest family, notably his young daughters, he is awaiting the return of his youngest son who, after several years spent in the army where he achieved a high rank, has decided, to everyone's surprise, to dream up a new future for himself, without being too sure what shape it will take. A son, moreover, who is gradually losing his sight and whose inner world continues to reveal itself in all its complexity. The show, written and directed by Joël Pommerat, is presented in echo to the creation of the new opera by Philippe Boesmans based on the same text.

Home Humidity Control | Why Its Important for Comfort & Health
Home Humidity Control | Why Its Important for Comfort & Health – Humidity is important to our home and health and it is important to maintain the correct humidity in our homes and workplaces for our health. What is humidity? Humidity is simply little water droplets in the air. Cold air is nearly saturated with these little water droplets because the contents of cold air allow the air to hold more water droplets or humidity. As air is heated it expands and holds less humidity.
Home Humidity Control | Why Its Important for Comfort & Health
When you heat the air in your home using a furnace, boiler, or heat pump this air expands and becomes drier. It is air with less humidity relatively speaking before it was heated and compared to the outside air. Air that is 30° F with 80% humidity will only be 15% humidity at 75° F. That is a big difference in humidity levels in the home after the air is heated. Granted, you are not heating air from 30° F to 75° F with your furnace. Depending on the set up of your thermostat and heating system you are most likely heating air that is 68° F to around 70° F to 75° F depending on the thermostat setting. The point is unless you have a source providing humidity to the air stream you are simply reheating dry air from inside the structure. There will be minimal infiltration humidity but the infiltration humidity will never be enough to bring the humidity levels up to healthy levels inside the structure for the inhabitants, plants, and furniture.

On November 20, 1946, legendary guitarist Duane Allman was born in Nashville, Tennessee. His unparalleled guitar work, songwriting and inspiring presence helped earn his namesake band a deserved place in the pantheon of rock and roll, and made him an icon.
As the principal architects of Southern rock, the Allman Brothers Band forged this new musical offshoot from elements of blues, jazz, soul, R&B and rock and roll. Along with the Grateful Dead and Cream, they help advance rock as a medium for improvisation. Their kind of jamming required a level of technical virtuosity and musical literacy that was relatively new to rock & roll, which had theretofore largely been a song-oriented medium. Duane Allman and Dickey Betts – The original guitarists in the Allman Brothers Band – broke that barrier with soaring, extended solos. Combined with organist Gregg Allman's gruff, soulful vocals and Hammond B3 organ, plus the forceful, syncopated drive of a rhythm section that included two drummers, the Allman Brothers Band were a blues-rocking powerhouse from their beginnings in 1969. Moreover, their success paved the way for other bands from the South, including Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, and the Charlie Daniels Band.
The group formed around the nucleus of Gregg and Duane Allman. Younger brother Gregg initially taught and encouraged Duane to pick up the guitar. As far back as 1961, with Duane dropping out of school in order to master the instrument, the brothers played in bands around Daytona Beach, Florida, where they grew up under their Mother's watch. They formed the Allman Joys in 1965, combining the Southern blues and soul influences that they'd grown up hearing with the rocking sounds of the British Invasion bands (especially the Yardbirds). Evolving into the Hourglass, the brothers and their bandmates recorded a pair of albums in Los Angeles for the Liberty label, one of which (Power of Love, 1968), foreshadowed the sound that would fully emerge with the Allman Brothers Band. (pictured left: Duane Allman used this guitar during recording sessions for the Derek and the Dominos album Layla, 1970. He also played the guitar during concerts recorded for the album At Fillmore East, 1971. "Duane" is written on the back using old frets.)
The Allman Brothers Band evolved out of jams in Jacksonville, Florida, involving Duane and members of the Second Coming (guitarist Dickey Betts, bassist Berry Oakley) and the 31st of February (drummer Butch Trucks). Another drummer, Jai Johanny Johanson (a.k.a. "Jaimoe"), was a veteran of the soul-music circuit, having played with Otis Redding and others. A magical five-hour jam among the musicians at Trucks' house cemented the union and prompted this remark from Duane: "Anybody who doesn't want to be in my band is going to have to fight his way out the door." Gregg was summoned back from California, where he was unhappily fulfilling a contractual obligation as a solo artist. The Allman Brothers Band were officially formed in March 1969 and signed to Phil Walden's fledgling Capricorn label, which became the main driving force of the Southern-rock insurgence of the Seventies.
During the early stages of the Allman Brothers Band, Duane also worked as a session musician at Fame Recording Studios, where he acquired a reputation as the guitar player in the South. During 1969 and 1970, his blazing fretwork graced records by the likes of Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Clarence Carter and King Curtis, with whom he formed a close friendship. His contributions to the double album Layla...and Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek and the Dominos (led by Eric Clapton), cannot be overestimated.
"He was a complete guitar player," once noted Jerry Wexler, producer and vice-president of Atlantic Records, of Duane's prowess as a sideman. "He could do everything: play rhythm, lead, blues, slide, bossa-nova, with a jazz feeling, beautiful light acoustic – and on slide guitar he got the touch. Duane is one of the greatest guitar players I ever knew, and one of the very few who could hold his own with the best of the black blues players."
Duane was also the linchpin of the Allman Brothers Band, lighting a fire under the other members. In Gregg's words: "My brother was one of the most intense people I've ever met. When he was playing, he just pulled it out of you. I don't care if you were dog-tired or half asleep, something happened... it was like he demanded it from you."
The group's first two studio albums - The Allman Brothers Band (1970) and Idlewild South (1971) - contained classic songs like "Dreams," "Whipping Post," "Midnight Rider" and "Revival." Both were hard-hitting announcements of the Southern-rock sound. However, it was in concert that the band burned brightest. Led by Duane's searing guitar, the Allman Brothers Band's live shows left devoted fans in their wake. The March 1971 concerts recorded for At Fillmore East in New York caught them at their peak. Sadly, the Allman Brothers Band – and the entire music community – was dealt a catastrophic blow when Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle crash in Macon, Georgia, on October 29, 1971. He was 24.
The Allman Brothers Band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. At the ceremony, Duane's family accepted the honor on his behalf, with Gregg sharing a poignant tribute: "In honor of the greatest friend, brother, guitar player and inspiration I've ever known, my brother Duane. He was also the first to face the fire, he was my greatest motivation."
In this clip, the surviving members of the Allman Brothers Band perform "One Way Out" at the 1995 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. A scorching live version of the song featuring Duane Allman appeared on the 1972 Allman Brothers Band album Eat A Peach.

Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die
Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die
Musings from the Road
William Morrow, Hardcover, 9780062193643, 192pp.
Publication Date: November 1, 2012
You won't see no sad and teary eyes When I get my wings, and it's my time to flyJust call my friends and tell themThere's a party, come on bySo just roll me up and smoke me when I die
In Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die, Willie Nelson muses about his greatest influences and the things that are most important to him, and celebrates the family, friends, and colleagues who have blessed his remarkable journey. Willie riffs on everything: music, wives, Texas, politics, horses, religion, marijuana, children, the environment, poker, hogs, Nashville, karma, and more. He shares the outlaw wisdom he has acquired over eight decades, along with favorite jokes and insights from friends and others close to him. Rare family pictures, beautiful artwork created by his son Micah Nelson, and lyrics to classic songs punctuate these charming and poignant memories. Willie Nelson has touched millions, and none more deeply than his family, friends, and bandmates, several of whom share, for the first time, intimate stories about the Red Headed Stranger.
From teaching a granddaughter to play the guitar to touring with the Highwaymen, from picking cotton while growing up in Texas to being home with the tribe on Maui, Willie takes you on the tour bus and, through candid observations and vivid recollections, gives you a front-row seat to his remarkable world. But beware: "You know you shouldn't be reading this BS, it could ruin you for all time to come," he says. "You could end up a social outcast like me, an outlaw "
At once a road journal written in his inimitable, homespun voice and a fitting tribute to America's greatest traveling bard, Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die--introduced by Kinky Friedman, another favorite son of Texas--is a deeply personal look into the heart and soul of a unique man and one of the greatest artists of our time, a songwriter and performer whose legacy will endure for generations to come.
Born in Abbott, Texas, on April 29, 1933, Willie Nelson is one of the most popular, prolific, and influential songwriters and singers in the history of American music. A Kennedy Center honoree in 1998, he has been inducted into a number of music halls of fame and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2000. During the past six decades, he has recorded more than one hundred albums, appeared in several films, and written two New York Times bestsellers: Willie: An Autobiography and The Facts of Life and Other Dirty Jokes. He resides in Texas and Hawaii.
Micah Nelson is a musician, visual artist, and videographer who plays regularly with his father, Willie Nelson.
Kinky Friedman is an author, musician, defender of strays, cigar smoker, and the governor of the heart of Texas.
"Nelson's unmistakable voice shines through . . . funny, inspirational and bawdy, with a well-honed sense of humor."
-Kirkus Reviews
"An irreverent, entertaining read. Humble, optimistic, and quick to give credit to those around him for contributing to his success, Nelson is a charming narrator."
-Publishers Weekly
"Nelson takes us for a rollicking ride along the highways and byways of his long life and career in this rambunctious, hilarious, reflective, and loving memoir."
-American Songwriter
"Compelling page-turner . . . for all his fame and accessibility, he still has so much wisdom left to share."
"So many decades into his fabled life and career, Willie fans pretty much know what to expect from him. And he does not let his readers down with his Musings From the Road. "
-Country Music Television, Nashville Skyline blog

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
The Universe is made of stories, not atoms. (Muriel Rukeyser)
Stories from Life at the Bolinas Library, March 5th, 7pm
7x7: 7 people with 7 true stories, 7 minutes long. Readers are Jane Mickelson, Lawrence Distasi, (local Bolinas author) Michael Rafferty, (Bolinas author and used bookstore owner) , Anna Gade, (Library Improvement Society member), Stuart Chapman, (artist), Neshama Franklin (of the Fairfax Library and Bolinas resident), and Jane Silvia (of the Bolinas Library)
Storytelling with friends or community members makes for a cozy winter evening, or spring for that matter. The idea for this program is derived from Spark storytelling, a spoken word series originally started in London. Spark describes the series as:
True stories told from the stage, Expect the unusual, the hilarious, the tragic and the heartwarming.
Spark Off Rose based in Santa Monica says:
We've found that the public has a thirst for real, true stories. People are yearning to hear others talk about their personal experiences in the spirit of oral
tradition....Most participants are not professional writers. For us, it's about great stories, and most of the time they write themselves.
If you would like to try this and your story is not writing itself, here are some helpful books that you can find in our catalog.

Jonathan Alexander Grioli died Saturday, November 3rd. He was born October 11th, 1987 to Jay Windsor and Tina Grioli in Dover, DE. He was 25 years old.
Jonathan was a free and independent spirit, who lived his life as he saw fit. He was a great friend to have, one who was loyal, fun, and true. He was a man of many talents, who often honed his skills without outside help. For example, he was an accomplished self taught musician. He also became an amazing cook, without any formal training.
Jonathan loved playing his X-box, and was an amazing gamer. He began his musical career as a drummer, but later switched to bass guitar. He played for numerous bands including, Jack and the Skeletons as well as Skip and the Autumn Addicts. Jonathan's favorite place to be was the Green Stinger in Dover. The folks there were like his second family, and he loved them dearly. He refused to miss a day's work there, because it was just too much fun.
Jonathan is preceded in death by his Uncle Jess Windsor. He is survived by his parents, Tina Grioli and Spencer Moore, and Jay & Sharon Windsor, his sister, Catherine Potgieter, his brothers, Robert Hardy and Jace Densler; he is also remembered by his aunts and uncles, Giuseppe & Jen Grioli, and Scott and Vicki Windsor, his maternal Grandparents, Giuseppe and Dell Grioli, his paternal grandparents, William and JoAnn Windsor, his nephew, Logan Hardy, and his niece, Isabella Eckenrod. Jonathan is deeply missed by his girlfriend, Beth Hayes. H will never be forgotten by his three best friends, Mike Treadway, Richard Dye, Jr., and Eric McReynolds, as well as his family at the Green Stinger, numerous cousins, and countless friends.
Jonathan's loss will be deeply felt by all of those who knew him; his spirit of independence, strength, hope will always be with us, and his love we shall forever carry in our hearts. Jonathan is still well loved, and is deeply missed, and he will never be forgotten by those whose hearts he has touched. He will truly and sorrowfully be missed by all who knew and encountered him.
A gathering for Jonathan will take place on Saturday, November 17th at 4:30PM, with a memorial service starting at 5:30PM at Pippin Funeral Home.The family would like to extend a very special thank you to the folks at the Green Stinger Sports Bar and Grill in Woodside, and to PFC 1st Class Shawn Rau of the Clayton Police Dept., for his assistance and compassion during their time of sorrow. Letters of condolence may be sent to the family via www.pippinfuneralhome.com.

Guests choose as their favorite in-room hotel amenity….
If you could have fresh flowers, a hot tub or any in-room amenity in a hotel, what would be your top pick?
A new survey by hotels.com found that free Wi-Fi is the preferred choice — by far.
A total 38 percent of respondents called free Wi-Fi a "must" in their decision to stay at a specific hotel; 35 percent called it the simple amenity they want to see more in hotels, and 31 percent said they wished it would become standard in all hotels in 2012.
"Given the explosion of mobile use in the past few years, it is no surprise that travelers are requiring free and fast Wi-Fi," said Taylor L. Cole, director of public relations and social media for hotels.com.
"Many guests never travel without their tablets, smartphones and laptops. It's as intuitive as packing a toothbrush. Guests use these items in their rooms to plan activities for the next day. We are also seeing an uptick in mobile booking the day of a stay," Cole said. "It is only natural that they'd want to stay connected while in their hotel rooms."
Travelers said they preferred free Wi-Fi to such amenities as air purifiers and humidifiers, high-end coffee makers, iPod docks, massage chairs, video game systems, universal remote rooms and workout equipment.
Not liked much: The bathroom phone. It is the least used hotel amenity, with 37 percent of total respondents saying they never touch it, the survey found.
For more information, visit www.hotels.com.

What do Gone with the Wind, The Lord of the Flies, The Color Purple, Invisible Man, The Call of the Wild and A Separate Peace all have in common?
No, aside from being books you read in junior high and high school... They were once banned from the public.
Hemingway, Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Orwell, Dreiser, Joyce and Steinbeck have all fallen victim to censors.
The banning and censoring of some very controversial classics has led to an outrage among readers and the creation of Banned Books Week. The annual event celebrates three decades this year with the theme "30 Years of Liberating Literature."
To commemorate Banned Books Week 2012, Sept. 30–Oct. 6, The King's English Bookshop will band together with booksellers, librarians, publishers, educators, lawyers, and other defenders against censorship.
The King's English has scheduled two events, both free and open to the public—a presentation and discussion on censorship by a local expert on First Amendment rights, attorney Jeffrey J. Hunt, on Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 12 p.m. and the Banned Books Virtual Read-out, an opportunity for readers to read a brief excerpt (1–2 minutes) from their favorite banned book, on camera, for later upload to YouTube.
On Friday, Oct. 5, 5–7 p.m., local readers are invited to join the nation in a virtual read-out of banned books. All banned books are 10 percent off throughout the week at The King's English.

OK...so I've been on break for a few days...my daughter Brittney and her baby Halle have been here visiting, and I have been seriously distracted! But I am ready now for a giveaway.
I have an item from my stash that I am willing to part with, if you can help me come up with a new idea for a colorway for my next fabric line. I have to get busy designing now, and I am seriously stumped! Keep in mind this is a fall collection. I need at least four main colors to work with. If you can give me an example by referring me to a picture on a website, that might help even more.
Here is what I will give away to the winner:Not the little dress, although that may be in another contest...but the long skirt Stella has on.
This skirt is the "Athena" Skirt from one of my new patterns. It is made in "Santorini", size 6, to fit a 38" hip measurement (fullest part), and is about 36" long.
Make sure to leave your email adress, and a link on your blog (if you have one) to my blog.
I will choose the colorway that excites me the most, and fits my design concept the best! You never know...it could be yours!

I love a pretty shade of vibrate orange against a contrasting brilliant blue sky color. A dark green and a deep chocolate brown possibly for the other two colors. Though the right color yellow looks neat as an accent but I don't think I personally like that color enough to have it the main color.
Inspirational color combination. You can feel and smell autumn.
- June 11, 2009 at 12:39 PM
- Karen said...
Ok, so the skirt won't fit me but here are my color ideas... and I happen to keep a Benjamin Moore fandeck in my desk: Navy, Smoke Grey (green undertone), rusty pumpkin and chartreuse. BM sweet vibrations 391, BM Corlsbud Canyon 076, New Providence Navy 1651 and Sage Mountain 1488. You should be able to pull these up on their website... have fun!

Well there is no way I am going to get into that size 6 skirt, but I would love to help you with your colorway.
Fall lines are usually so somber. They need to remember that the sky is especially vibrant that time of year and colors of changing leaves are anything but dull.
So here is my suggestion: A really beautiful deep sky blue, scarlet and a pumpkin orange, and a pale pale yellow orange (like squash) or pine green for the unchanging evergreens.
http://labs.ideeinc.com/multicolr/#colors=e35218,5a98fa,f7daaa,4a5824,6b0e04; If this link works, look at the first picture. It is a glass window in Barcelona.

Oooh! I think a combo that is predominantly cocoa with turquoise, cherry red, and lime is both autumnal and unexpected. And I would adore that skirt. It is just my size! (I do not have a blog to link to you, but I will check back to see if I have won and e-mail my info if necessary!)

I'll go totally out there...black, grey, real true crisp purple and KELLY GREEN! Fall is so black and grey and always needs a punch of color.
Like this skirt...but if it were a sweater vest...with a kelly green floral pin on it.
(that's not my Etsy shop or anybody's I know by the way)
Stella's skirt will fit me and my long legs...with a brown tank!
Thanks for letting me play!

Um, well colors, I can tell you love bright, which is why I love what you do. I have the same funky fun going on, but I think for fall I really like the colors of... ready... the background of my family blog! Silly huh! But they are great for fall and go well together! See here...
It's a scrapbook page that I just changed the colors to... kinda fun.

Oh goodness! That beautiful skirt would fit me perfectly. :)
For Fall I think the colors should be rich, but still happy and bright. I love the combination of burnt orange, light pink, pea green and a salmon or coral with a touch of yellow and white. Here's an example: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=4815080744925270102&id=890059&parentid=SLEEP_BEDDING&pushId=SLEEP_BEDDING&prepushId=SLEEP_BEDDING&popId=SLEEPING&sortProperties=&navCount=68&navAction=poppush&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=ber&colorName=BERRY
Here's another example that shows the burnt orange with the light pink, but with more muted accent colors (taupe and cream): http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=4815080744925270102&id=923263&parentid=APP_SKIRTS&pushId=APP_SKIRTS&prepushId=APP_SKIRTS&popId=APPAREL&sortProperties=&navCount=75&navAction=&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=089&colorName=ORANGE+MOTIF
I'm really loving the hues of orange and pink for Fall.
Good luck w/your next line of fabrics. I can't wait to see it. I know it will be stunning.

I can't wait to see what you will come up with!!! I like kind of olive green, dusty plum, burgundy, and deep orange for fall colors.

- June 15, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Well the size 6 won't fit me but that is my goal size. :)
I love Fall and all the pretty colors but thought about going away from all the oranges and browns, I really like purples for Fall. This image was something I used for a layout.
Here is another one
Navy is also popular for Fall,
I can't wait to see what you do. We will have to wait about a year, right? :(

Ok so fo me fall is all about the colors changing, so I love the deep purple that red maples become and the brilliant oranges and golds from other maple trees. These are set off so beautifully by the deep browns and greens around them. so many fall fabrics go with all th colors in the deep rih tones, but nature shows us we need bright happy colors before the onset of long cold barren winters.

For fall I love burnt orange (like on this banner http://www.burntorange.ca), Benjamin Moore smouldering red, chocolate brown, Benjamin Moore blackraspberry, stormy sky blue/grey (like the one here http://www.photojenic-photography.com with the couple on the beach)and green (Benjamin Moore's Irish Moss or Fiddle Head). The Benjamin Moore colours can be viewed on their website (www.benjaminmoore.com)

As for a new colourway for the fall, I think I would be inspired by something like this wool from Three Irish Girls:

I have been looking for some fabric with a color combination of eggplant, cranberry, blueberry, and turquoise. I love how turquoise gives such a pop and the others are so warm. Good luck in your search.

I think your recent trip (to Cabo was it?) could be a great inspiration. There are some great blues, grays, tans, and pinks/reds.

Almost everyone has a need for a small fridge. Whether you are a college student living in a dorm room, a frequent traveler who needs a place to store essential foods and drinks, or a homeowner who recently added a finished basement or a man cave to the house. There is always a reason to look at built-in refrigerators. We offer a wide variety of options on undercounter refrigerators that keep your beverages at your desired temperature.
There are many benefits to owning a built-in beverage refrigerator, some that you may not even be aware of. Of course one of the biggest advantages is the added convenience of having a cold storage option nearby. No more trudging up or down stairways to grab a refreshing and cool soda, with an undercounter beverage fridge your icy drink can be within fingertip reach at all times.
One of the benefits that you may not be aware of is that some undercounter refrigerators even have reversible doors. This easy-to-use option allows you to change which way the fridge door swings open, which is especially important in smaller living spaces or if you move to a new place.
Compact refrigerators are the perfect addition to a small space such as a dorm room, a motorhome, a studio apartment or an extra bar. Keep your food fresh for longer periods of time and have plenty of space to store essential fruits and vegetables, or your cool and refreshing sodas. Most units have adjustable shelving so you can easily fit the items that are most important to you.
Whether you want the convenience of entertaining a group of friends in your basement, or the added luxury of a small fridge on your boat to keep your drinks cool on a hot and sunny day, we have a built-in fridge that is perfect for you.

Reading what you want, when you want – it's a freedom most of us take for granted. But like all liberties, the freedom to read must be nurtured and protected to be preserved. One way of raising awareness of the reality of banned books and the importance of maintaining intellectual freedom is by celebrating Banned Books Week, an annual event emphasizing the freedom to read. This year's Banned Books Week is held from September 30 through October 6.
Banned Books Week began in 1982 as an awareness campaign by library activist Judith Krug to draw attention to banned and challenged books and celebrate personal intellectual choice. It stresses the importance of free and open public access to information and also draws attention to the gravity of the issue by spotlighting books that have been challenged or banned in schools or libraries.
During Banned Books Week, books that have been banned, challenged or have been the targets of either are featured in libraries, schools and bookstores. A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials based on the objections of an individual or group who feel the material is inappropriate, lewd or offensive in some way. If it's successful, the book can be banned. While the intentions behind challenging and banning books may be good – to protect children from "inappropriate" language or sexual content, for example –the effects on the freedoms and liberties of a society could be devastating.
Since 1982, more than 11,000 books have been "challenged," or an attempt has been made to remove or restrict them based on the objections of either an individual or group. In 2011, the top ten list included titles such as To Kill a Mockingbird; The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins; Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and the Gossip Girl series, by Cecily Von Ziegesar. Thanks to the commitment of librarians and teachers, parents and students as well as other concerned citizens, very few challenges are successful and most materials remain in public or school libraries.
Banned Books Week Event at Main Library
In recognition of Banned Books Week, watch segments of the banned movie To Kill A Mockingbird on Wednesday, October 3, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Main Library, 100 S. Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. During the movie presentation, Dr. Christine Jackson, a literature professor at Nova Southeastern University, will lead a discussion of the controversies that have led the movie to be categorized as banned.
The movie To Kill A Mockingbird is based on Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, published in 1960, about innocence, strength and conviction. The plot and characters are loosely taken from an event that happened in Lee's hometown of Monroeville, Alabama in 1936. The film is ranked 25th on the American Film Institute's 10th anniversary list of the greatest American movies of all time.
For more information on this program, which is sponsored by the Friends of the Fort Lauderdale Libraries, please call 954-357-7443.
Five Ways to Celebrate Banned Books Week
Banned Books Week is sponsored by the American Library Association, American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, the Association of American Publishers, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the National Association of College Stores, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, National Coalition Against Censorship, the National Council of Teachers of English and PEN American Center. Banned Books Week is endorsed by the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress and Project Censored.

Just made these with my kids. They loved them.
Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
From EatingWell: Spring 2004, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004), July/August 2012
EatingWell reader Beverley Sharpe of California contributed this recipe. She updated a favorite treat by cutting back on sugar and incorporating whole grains. To increase protein, she replaces the rolled oats with 1 cup almond meal.
183 Reviews for Bev's Chocolate Chip Cookies
I substituted 1/2 cup canola with 1/2 cup banana and added a generous spoonful of natural peanut butter and some pecans. Yummy!
tried ur recipe.turned out great.thx:) stay blessed
Hi i made these today with my kids ;) i substituted the white sugar with honey which made the mixture custard like and super sweet. We achieved the chewy texture by grinding the oats into a flour and adding the honey. Next time i will try a couple of tablespoons of maple syrup as my kids dislike the excessive sweetness. The honey was over powering!
These cookies fell apart and were hard to scrape off the sheet, even after generous greasing.

|Undefeated tennis cracks top 75
SKILLMAN, N.J. - After 9-0 start to the season, including five 7-0 victories, the Idaho men's tennis team has earned a No. 57 national ranking. It is the first time this season the Vandals have cracked the top 75.
"It's nice to jump into the rankings with the start to the season we've had," Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. "It surprised me a little we entered the rankings so high, and it's exciting to know that this team has the potential to keep moving up as the season goes on."
The Vandals will get opportunities to move up in the rankings with four matches against teams currently ranked in the top 75 remaining this season. Idaho faces No. 30 BYU on April 12, No. 45 Oregon on March 8, No. 62 Oklahoma State on April 2 and No. 65 Denver on April 21.
Idaho's 9-0 start is its best start to a season in at least 20 years. The ranking is Idaho's first in a year. The Vandals were ranked in the first five polls of 2012 before dropping out on Feb. 28, peaking at No. 56. Idaho's highest ranking came in April, 2011 when the Vandals cracked the top 50 at No. 46.
The Vandals return to action this weekend when they face Montana and Montana State in Missoula, Mont., on March 2.

VMware Workstation Pro FAQs
How does VMware Workstation Pro work?
VMware Workstation Pro works by creating fully isolated, secure virtual machines that encapsulate an operating system and its applications. The VMware virtualization layer maps the physical hardware resources to the virtual machine's resources, so each virtual machine has its own CPU, memory, disks, and I/O devices, and is the full equivalent of a standard x86 machine. VMware Workstation Pro installs onto the host operating system and provides broad hardware support by inheriting device support from the host.
What types of applications can I run in a virtual machine?
Any application that will run on a standard PC will run inside a virtual machine on VMware Workstation Pro. VMware Workstation Pro is the equivalent of a full PC, with full networking and devices — each virtual machine has its own CPU, memory, disks, I/O devices, etc. This allows you to run any application that runs on the supported guest operating systems, including Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Apache Web Server, Microsoft Visual Studio, Kernel debuggers, Firewalls, VPN software and much more.
Do I need to dual boot or repartition the disk?
No. VMware Workstation Pro uses your computer's file system and creates files that map to a virtual machine's disk drives, so there is no need to create a partition for each operating system. If you already have another operating system with dual boot installed on your computer, you can use VMware Workstation Pro to run the other operating system in a virtual machine on your host operating system. Instead of dual booting, you can run both operating systems simultaneously and seamlessly switch from one operating system to another with a click of your mouse.
How is each operating system installed?
Once you have installed VMware Workstation Pro, you "configure" a virtual machine by assigning it memory, disk, ports, and networking. You then power on that virtual machine with the operating system installation CD or ISO image. The virtual machine will boot, and the operating system will start its normal install procedure.
Does VMware Workstation Pro modify the host or guest operating systems?
No. Your host operating system environment treats VMware Workstation Pro like an application. No modifications need to be made to the guest operating system when it is installed on a virtual machine. Applications on the guest operating system run exactly as they do on your host machine.
What are virtual disks?
Virtual disks are the disk partitions of virtual machines. They are stored as files on the file system of your host operating system. One of the key features of VMware Workstation Pro is encapsulation. This means that complete environments are contained in a set of files, which can be copied, moved, and accessed quickly and easily. Since an entire disk partition is saved as a file, virtual disks are easy to back up, move, and copy. You can create virtual SCSI, IDE, and SATA disks as large as 8 TB.
Does a VMware Workstation virtual machine share the IP address of the host (NAT), or does it have its own IP address?
The virtual machine can use bridged networking to receive its own IP address (when available from a DHCP server), or it can use NAT and share the host's IP address. Also, host-only networking can be set to create an isolated virtual network. Lastly, network connections can be entirely disabled for complete virtual machine isolation.
What languages is VMware Workstation Pro available in?
Workstation Pro software and documentation is available in English and Japanese (Windows only).
Can I access VMware Workstation Pro documentation online for free?
Yes, both English and Japanese language versions are available for download in electronic format from the VMware Workstation Pro documentation website.
Can I purchase a printed VMware Workstation Pro User's Guide?
No. The VMware Workstation Pro user guide is available for free as a PDF download.

If you're a charter customer or fractional owner, your net worth may well exceed that of your flight provider. That would make you the deep pocket with the most to lose in an accident, yet you have no role in selecting the provider's insurer or drafting its coverage terms. So how can you protect yourself? By performing the most dreaded task in all of aviation—reading the insurance policy—and by keeping these tips in mind:
Bizav Basics
July 26, 2015
July 19, 2015
Travelers who want to fly privately but can't or don't want to opt for full aircraft ownership have typically enjoyed three options: charter, jet cards and fractional shares. Choosing among them can be challenging, and now you have other alternatives to ponder as well, including lease arrangements, membership clubs and purchase-support programs. Let's look at the pros and cons of each of these options.
April 2, 2015
Manufacturers are offering to help you sell your old airplane when you purchase a new one. Should you let them?
February 11, 2015
The owner-approval process can nix your charter booking—even at the last minute.
August 4, 2014
When you're buying a jet, months of work culminate the moment you sign the papers. You're finished with research, analysis, due diligence and inspections. You've had the last of your consultations with brokers, attorneys, accountants, pilots and mechanics. The marathon has been run and now you can reap the rewards.
July 22, 2014
Which of the major bizav access models—charter, jet card or fractional ownership—best suits you? To begin to answer that question, determine which of the statements below apply to you. If more than half of the statements for an access option apply, it could be a good choice. Note, though, that not all statements carry equal weight; the hours you fly annually can trump other factors in determining whether a solution is appropriate.
July 20, 2014
Given the complexity of the deal and the money at stake, making a business aircraft change hands can seem almost like an act of magic. And as in Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, acts of this sort are best left to professionals—specifically, aircraft brokers and their teams.
July 10, 2014
As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.
July 9, 2014
Here's a look at the world's leading business jet manufacturers and their current and upcoming models.
July 7, 2014
Given the amount of money involved, picking the right way to employ business aviation is one of the most critical financial decisions you can face. Unless you're buying a whole aircraft, the first choice you have to make is what access model would best suit your needs, be it a fractional share, a jet card or traditional charter. Then you need to decide which company or companies to use.

This week's Golden Apple Award winner is a kindergarten teacher at Waller Elementary School in Youngstown.
After more than three decades of teaching at the same school, Mrs. Shipes is more than a mainstay; she's a pillar for the school.
Donna Shipes, kindergarten teacher, said, "Been 35 years at this same school and what makes that so nice is I teach kids, I taught their parents."
Mrs. Shipes wasn't much older than these kindergartners when she knew she wanted to become a teacher.
"I had a second grade teacher, Ms. Boswell, that led me into this profession."
She uses hands-on activities to make learning fun and sometimes even tasty.
"For the last two weeks we've been learning about bees, so today we are pretending to be nurse bees. We are feeding our baby bees. We want to make kindergarten fun because for many of them, this is their first learning experience for school and we want them to be lifelong learners."
Peggy Bunch, Principal, added, "Mrs. Shipes has a way of speaking with children. They respond to her immediately. She doesn't take the six weeks to get to know kids, they respond to her immediately. She has an awesome classroom environment, the children learn the tasks early, and they get on it and they have excelled."
Congratulations to Mrs. Shipes, this week's Golden Apple Award winning teacher. The Golden Apple Award is brought to you by our community partner, John Lee Nissan Mazda.

You will be given a Court Trial date to appear in court and the officer who cited you will be notified to be present on the trial date. You may have a trial by written declaration, which will not require you to appear in court.

You may do this by mail or at the clerk's office. Once a decision is made you will be notified by mail.
