Day two featured the Buffaloes against the No. 39 ranked and host 49ers in singles play going 2-4 on the afternoon.
Manzi Tenorio rallied to win her fourth career match when losing the opening set and her fifth win when playing in three sets matches, as she defeated Long Beach State's Karolina Rozenberg 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-2.
It was also Manzi Tenorio's fifth win in nine matches played this year, and her second straight triumph in as many days at the LBS Invitational.
Steur evened her invitational record at 1-1 with a straight set winner defeating 49er Klaudia Malenovska, 6-2, 7-5. It was Steur's fifth win this season in eight matches played.
In doubles, CU played Nevada and saw Manzi Tenorio and freshman Dhany Quevedo team-up to edge Sophie Stevens and Sheila Smiley, 8-5. The Buffaloes went 1-2 against the Wolfpack on the doubles court.
"Overall this team as the opportunity to grow and come together," said CU head coach Nicole Kenneally. "We're in a position to clean up a couple of things and this young team will continue to develop."
Day three of the Invitational wraps up on Sunday with CU taking on New Mexico in doubles and in singles facing off against Nevada.

|Ledbetter garners WAC honor
DENVER - The Western Athletic Conference honored Idaho senior Jeff Ledbetter on Monday as its Verizon Men's Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 10-16 after he helped lead Idaho to a 2-0 record against Nevada and Cal State Bakersfield.
Ledbetter, a second-year Vandal from Brea, Calif. (Irvine Valley CC), scored 17 points, with three assists and three steals in the 72-67 victory over Nevada on Wednesday at the Cowan Spectrum. He hit four of his eight field goal attempts and went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line in the game.
He upped the ante on Saturday when he scored 13 points, with three more steals and two assists in the overtime road win at Cal State Bakersfield. With Idaho trailing, 77-75, and the clock winding down, Ledbetter stepped back and drained a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give the Vandals a 78-77 victory.
He shot .500 (9-18) from the field and .545 (6-11) from 3-point range during the week, with 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.5 assists per game.
Ledbetter also stepped it up on the defensive end during the week. He had three steals on consecutive possessions late in the first half against Nevada and scored seven straight points during the same span to put the Vandals ahead at the break, then grabbed three more steals, including one late in the overtime period that led to a fast-break layup, at CSUB.
The honor is the first of Ledbetter's career and the first for an Idaho player this season.
Idaho's men will be back in action Monday night, when they play at Fresno State (7-8, 3-2 WAC) at 7 p.m. at Fresno's Save Mart Center.

When handcrafted perfection is your passion, time becomes your tool. Time enables you to hone and refine, to master your art. It allows sight, smell, touch, and taste to become instruments of artistry. This is how we craft every Millstone® Arabica bean. No rushing, no compromising. Just the warm embrace of time, slow-roasting each bean to its unique peak of flavor. All so you can craft—and taste—a cup above the rest.
That distinctive Millstone® flavor begins in the world's lushest, most fertile coffee estates. There, our Arabica beans are nurtured in a perfect mix of climate, rainfall, temperature, and elevation, then handpicked to ensure peak flavor.
It takes more than technology to craft the perfect bean. The real secret lies in the instincts and experience of our master roasters. Every day, they summon their refined human senses to evaluate every last detail of the beans' color, aroma, texture, and taste. This, combined with their insistence on precise roasting times, is what makes all the difference.
Blending is where art intersects with science. Because crafting balanced, flavorful coffee is a delicate process—one that not only depends on our master roasters' expert knowledge of the Arabica beans' flavor characteristics, but also on how to weave them together in ways that create the most exceptional blends.
Cupping, or coffee tasting, is the special technique our master roasters use to evaluate a coffee's unique flavor profile. And it takes an experienced palate—up to four years of training, in fact—to pick up on the subtle attributes of each blend.
Handpicking, slow-roasting, blending, and refining—this is how we craft Millstone® Coffee. It's a purposefully unhurried process, and worth every painstaking minute of time. Why? Because it helps us get closer to crafting the perfect coffee, and enables you to craft a cup above the rest at home.

ZF-7842: PHP Fatal error: Class 'Zend_XmlRpc_Value_Nil' not found
This is the error I get when passing null value to XML-RPC server:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'Zend_XmlRpc_Value_Nil' not found in ZendFramework/library/Zend/XmlRpc/Value.php on line 313
It occurs in 1.9.2 version, for some reason in Zend/XmlRpc/Value.php near 313 are added require onces for each type in switch-case, which was not the case in 1.9.1, but not before using Zend_XmlRpc_Value_Nil.
Same problem exists in method getXmlRpcValue() line #151, again switch-case with no require once statements.
Suggested patch to Zend/XmlRpc/Value.php (line # 313).
Solved in SVN r18118, 18119
Same problem exists in method getXmlRpcValue() line #165, again switch-case with no require once statements, I don't see that line is changed.
Error was:
Fatal error: Class 'Zend_XmlRpc_Value_Integer' not found in Zend/XmlRpc/Value.php on line 165
I can find the change to be related to your indication at SVN r17759 in 1.9 branch. I changed in only trunk now ( at SVN 18130).
I will be happy if you ensure with trunk's code. If it works fine, I will merge this changes into 1.9 branch.
Looks real nice. Didn't tried it out but thats just require ;)
Thank you ;-) Well, I merge it for next mini release at SVN r18139
Thanks :)

Luckily, for those ravenous festivarians with similar afflictions, off-screen roadside attractions abound at Sundance. With panel discussions and the Music Café and the New Frontier installations, one can pretty much pig out for the entire 10-day feast. And that's not even taking into consideration the many sidebar events not officially associated with the festival.
Over the years, the panels have most always provided tons of bang for the buck for us non-industry types. They're voyeuristic. You get to peek inside the minds of filmmakers and screenwriters and such. I doubt I'm going to be able to take in much of this year's fare, but the menu sure looks inviting.
Take, for example, one entitled "Once upon a Quantum Symmetry: Science and Cinema." You've got Paula Apsell (of PBS's NOVA) moderating the likes of Darren Aronofsky ("Pi," "The Wrestler," "Black Swan") and Scott Z. Burns ("The Bourne Ultimatum," "An Inconvenient Truth"), plus a neuroscientist/biomedical engineer and a Harvard professor with a background in theoretical particle physics and cosmology.
This is just another example of how hip the science-oriented bonding between the Sundance Institute and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has become over the years.
Or as the Institute put it: "During our 10-year collaboration with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, we've traveled from synapses in the brain to distant universes hitting an infinite number of galaxies along the way, and proving that both scientists and filmmakers are creative, imaginative, speculative, and adventurous." 'Nuff said!
Two "Power of Story" panels are also on tap this year. The first, entitled "Independence Unleashed," takes a look at the recent movement of independent filmmakers toward distributing their "edgier" materials on television and online. Featuring, among others, such heady film icons as Jane Campion ("The Piano") and Richard Linklater ("Slacker," "Before Sunrise," "School of Rock"), this panel could get quite animated.
The second Power of Story panel is "Measure for Measure," which deals with the power of music in film while spotlighting some of the more innovative among the current crop of film-score composers. Even if one of my all-time jazz heroes, five-time Grammy winner Terence Blanchard, wasn't part of the panel, there would be reasons aplenty to take it in.
For instance, Chris Douridas (Dreamworks Records, AOL, iTunes, "Northern Exposure," "Austin Powers," "American Beauty," and past host of KRCW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic") will be the moderator. Mark Isham, a film-score veteran of "Crash," "A River Runs Through It" and "Nell," plus recordings with Springsteen, Willie and the Stones, is also scheduled to take part. How's that for a lineup?
A very cool way to kick off your day at the festival is the Cinema Café, which is held each morning at the Filmmaker's Lodge in the Elks' Building. Roger Corman, famed godfather of the independent film movement, is part of the mix on Sunday, January 20, while musician/filmmaker Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Sound City Players) sits in on Tuesday, January 22.
The Cinema Café is a great place to kick back and listen to filmmakers dish on their process in creating their art while cupping up and downing a snack or two before hitting your first film of the day. Especially if it's the kind of morning that chooses to flaunt temperatures like those we've been experiencing lately in these parts.
Then there's the Music Café, the jewel of the festival in my humble opinion. ASCAP and Sundance have once again (it's their 15th annual) joined forces to bring an eclectic lineup ranging from legendary icons to stars on the rise for this year's edition. As has been the case in recent years, it will be holding forth in the Rich Haines Gallery on lower Main Street.
The New Frontier category is once again staging art installations, multimedia performances, transmedia experiences, panels, and films from the current edge of media and imagination. Some of them sound quite compelling, including an installation takeoff on the Tom Waits song "What's He Building in There," and a panel called "Tupac, Elvis, and Benjamin Button walk into a Bar ".

Converting that spare bedroom into a nursery, but not sure taupe walls jive with your baby room style? Before you paint, consider the psychology of color.
According to color experts at the Paint Quality Institute, the color of the walls in a room can affect your mood and the mood of anyone who enters the space. In fact, they say color psychology is so real, it can actually alter your physiology.
Blue has been shown to lower body temperatures and slow pulses, making it a popular choice for bedrooms.
Green also creates a calming effect, but also represents "renewal, youth and vigor." Since green is often associated with growing things, it is a great option for a dining room. It also tops the list for bedroom color selections.
Red incites excitement and raises the heart rate and blood pressure. Apossibility for adult bedrooms, but not for children's nurseries, say the experts. (However, pink—which is just a lighter shade of red—is actually quite tranquil and works perfectly for a nursery.)
Yellow is often used in many rooms in the house, including the kitchen and bathroom. Paint Quality Institute experts say, "Studies have shown that the brain actually releases more seratonin when the eye takes in yellow—creating positive psychological vibes." Yellow is a warm, happy, neutral color that has graced the walls of many a baby room.
Orange, like yellow, is an energetic and cheerful color, but the experts caution, ""Orange is clearly not the color of calm, so it's best to bypass it when painting a bedroom or any other area where you want to relax." (Or want a very tiny and potentially loud person to relax.)
Purple is popular with teenage girls and can stimulate brain activity. In lighter shades it can create a lovely abode for your babe.
Whatever color you decide to go with, remember—you'll be spending almost as much time there as your baby will, so make sure it's a shade you're pleased with. And if you choose wrong, you can always break out the painters tape and drop cloths one more time.

Review - Payne's novel follows a pilgrimage
Published: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 11:18 a.m.
Wilmington native Peggy Payne trumps E.L. James in her latest book, a novel of ideas that manages to include a number of erotic romps.
"Cobalt Blue" focuses on Andalusia "Andie" Branson, a 38-year-old painter living in Pinehurst. Andie's in a bad state; her 11-year relationship just died, basically, of ennui, and her career's in a rut. Once one of her art school's hot prospects, Andie has settled into painting college president and CEO portraits, and a series of golf images for country clubs. (When you're an artist in Pinehurst, there aren't many other choices.) She's nearly broke and facing the prospect of doing pet portraits for food.
Then, in close succession, two things happen.
First, through discreet wealthy contacts, Andie's offered a different sort of commission: a portrait of the Hon. Billy Sylvester, North Carolina's extremely right-wing U.S. senator and friend of dictators everywhere. (Sylvester clearly shares traits with the late Jesse Helms, although we discover that Sen. Billy also has Clintonesque tendencies.) Andie regards Sylvester as a racist pig, but the $100,000 fee is hard to resist.
Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, Andie suffers some sort of psychic-physical attack. Enormous bolts of electric energy seem to well out of from the base of her spine and radiate all through her body. She feels as if she's floating in light. Her perceptions seem to sharpen; everything seems brighter, clearer.
The moment passes, but Andie feels changed. Suddenly, she attacks projects she hasn't tried in years – real, creative, experimental artwork, not just depictions of golf strokes.
Andie's behavior changes as well. She'd always seemed rather prim and demure. Then, impulsively, she volunteers when an artist friend needs a replacement for a nude model for a life-drawing session. And she likes it.
On a quick trip to the coast, again impulsively, she accepts a good ol' boy's invitation to cruise the Outer Banks on his yacht. Soon, the waves aren't the only reason the boat's rocking. Other one-night and one-day stands follow. Andie finds herself shooting come-hither looks at teenage busboys.
If only Andie were into New Age thought as much as her mother, she'd realize that what she's experiencing is kundalini rising – a concept from yoga, recognized by humanistic psychologists. Subjects, especially women around Andie's age, undergo an intense release of psychic power, marked by increased energy levels, visions and extreme emotions. Also connected to the syndrome are difficulty controlling behaviors and sexual arousal.
(Although the concept is native to Hindu and Buddhist traditions, it's also known to Christian mystics; St. Teresa of Avila reported similar symptoms – without the naughty parts, apparently.)
All of Payne's fiction is fundamentally religious. Her first novel, "Revelation," dealt with a liberal Chapel Hill pastor who suddenly, literally, hears the voice of God; her second, "Sister India," followed Western spiritual seekers in the Indian holy city of Varanasi.
Thus, "Cobalt Blue" takes the form of a spiritual quest as Andie struggles to regain control of herself yet retain her creative power and her revived inner passion. When conventional therapy doesn't fully take, Andie embarks on a pilgrimage to New Orleans – and yes, voodoo is involved in the climax.
Not all of the novel works. We never quite get a clear picture of Andie's troubled relations with her glamorous, globe-trotting parents – although her dad, Zach (described as a cross between Ernest Hemingway and John Huston), puts in a cameo appearance. A subplot involving Sylvester's role in U.S. covert operations (which also seems to involve Andie's mom and dad) seems to fizzle.
At its best, however, "Cobalt Blue" proves effective and thought-provoking – and, once in a while, more genuinely sexy than "50 Shades of Grey."

Surf City fire chief cited for pumping waste
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 11:42 a.m.
The Surf City volunteer fire chief has been cited for pumping waste intended to be below ground to the surface.
Demetrius Batts, chief of the Surf City Volunteer Fire Department, was cited Friday by the Pender County Health Department with pumping sewage through a garden hose, according to county Health Director Carolyn Moser.
The hose ran from Batts' broken septic tank past the fire house, which Batts lives next to, into the woods.
Batts' address is 2454 N.C. 210 East.
Batts has 30 days to comply with the notice of violation. If he fails to do so, he will be given a 15-day notice, Moser said.
After that, the county would likely take him to court for failure to repair the system, Moser said, adding that Batts could also face fines of $50 to $100 a day.
Batts did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
"(This) wasn't the fire department. It's the individual," Moser said. "We received a complaint (Thursday), and that's not uncommon. We receive a lot of complaints."
Moser said pumping sewage away from a broken septic system is fairly common in Pender County.
"We have seen the (piping) from time to time," Moser said. "There's nowhere else for the sewage to go, unless it backs up into the home."
Citing the high cost of fixing septic systems, Moser did not think Batts' actions were atypical.
"It's expensive to repair a septic," Moser said. "With this economy, people do crazy things."

I've come to realize I have a certain assumption of how I think political systems work that underlies a lot of my opinions so I thought I'd lay it out. It's really very simple, but I think it explains a lot. It can be summed up in one sentence:
Power over social decision-making requires organization.
"Organization" is to be interpreted very broadly here. It could be a business, a political party, a union, or any other organization. There are many advantages to organization. An organization can collect information and distribute it to its members, rather than each individual having to do his own research, collect information from its members to advocate on their behalf (what political science calls issue articulation) and channel money and resources to influence the political process.
If we assume the above paragraph to be true, then applying it reveals some interesting insights. Who is organized in the US? Clearly, major corporations have the largest organizations and resources available to them. While tiny in comparison to the business sector, labor unions organize about 10% of the labor force. There is a vast array of non-profit organizations advocating many causes, which have some impact, but they have far fewer resources than the business community. So it should come as no surprise if government policy disproportionately serves the interests of the wealthy. It can also be seen if we look at the background of three of Obama's cabinet posts:
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner: son of VP of Public Relations of Ford Motor Company, began career at Kissinger Associates
Secretary of State Hilary Clinton: Yale Law School and on the board of directors of TCBY (1985-1992), Wal-Mart (1986-1992), and Lafarge (1990-1992)
Attorney General Eric Holder: In addition to Justice Department positions, he was an attorney with Covington and Burling, an international law firm that represents major corporations.
This is not to suggest any conspiracy, but to point out that a) corporations are organized and b) their interests and those of the government tend to align. What about someone like Bernie Sanders, the progressive Senator from Vermont? Isn't he proof that politicians don't have to be supported by big business? Sanders actually proves the point quite well, since the vast majority of his top campaign donors are labor unions. That is why he is able to be the most leftist Senator. UMASS Boston Professor Thomas Ferguson has actually done some great work on what he calls the "investment theory of party competition," outlining how political parties align to those who are organized (mostly business), while the wishes of the electorate play a secondary role. He in fact shows that one reason the New Deal was successful was due to an alignment of labor union and capital-intensive industry. An excellent documentary about his ideas is below.

Words by Brandon Diaz
Hot off the presses with their second full-length release entitled Voices, the Upstate New York duo brought that boom to a sold out room.
The night kicked off with a mild dose of dream pop by opener White Sea. Fronted by the sultry M83 vocalist, Morgan Kibby, their 80's-esque tunes wafted through the theater as the cool kids piled in quickly, eager to be close for the headliners. The trio played a near seamless set of agreeable tunes, including "Mountaineer," just mellow enough to classify as chill, but gallant enough to command attention through bold falsettos, and confident drumming.
But even with garnering fair attention from an audience eager for the main event, the showstopper of White Sea's set wasn't their nocturnal, yet dancy "Cannibal Love," but rather Kibby's gold Wonder Woman belt and midnight purple pants-gown that drew eyes to the stage.
…and then there was that one group.
With her donning a cropped black and white leather jacket and him sporting crisp white button up and classic Fender guitar, Sarah Barthel, and Josh Carter, better known as Phantogram, brought their unparalleled sound machine to a very excitable Oakland crowd.

WIP Wednesday #28
New projects:
Bee blocks
Angela sent each of us in the Sew Beautiful Bee these cool blue lovelies. The instructions were to create a block that felt like "me." This has led to a good bit of soul searching about who exactly "I" am when it comes to quilting. I don't think I have a recognizable style, like Rita from Red Pepper Quilts—her work is usually instantly identifiable as hers. Nor does there seem to be any common design thread in the things that I make. Am I over-thinking this? At any rate, I'll let you know when I do find out who I am. Or run out of time for making the block, whichever comes first. : )
Teacher gifts - lunch bags
Hey, look what arrived the other day from Spoonflower: It's my rain boot fabric that I designed for Project Selvage! I'm not 100% satisfied with the scale of the design, so I might make some modifications there, but other than that, it turned out beautifully. It is now destined to become end-of-year gifts for my daughter's preschool teachers. I had been planning to make Ayumi's fabric baskets, which I also made for the Make Mine Modern swap, but when I went to locate the tutorial on her blog, I noticed her Lunch Bag tutorial and decided those would be perfect! Long-time readers might remember that I'm not much of a bag maker, and I need to get three of these bad boys done by Friday, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
Secret project
Inspiration struck the other night, but I'm not sure what exactly will become of this one, so I'm keeping it under wraps for now.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley (the original Supernova)
Completed quilts awaiting binding:
Modern Meadow
On hold:
Central Park jelly roll quilt
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 3 (crap)
Completed projects - 1 (the final scrappy placemat)
Currently in progress - 11 (up two from last week)
Finally, just an FYI: Next week, WIP Wednesday will be taking a little trip to Elizabeth's house! Next week's linky will be at Don't Call Me Betsy, while I take a little blogging break for a few days to concentrate on a WIP I am truly dreading: Potty training. Thank you for guest-hosting, Elizabeth! I will have a link to her blog on that day, so you don't have to remember or change where your button links to or anything like that–just wanted you all to know the plan. And we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming right here the following week.
Your turn now! 1) Please link to a post from the past week containing a work in progress. Yep, I'm the weirdo who doesn't want a linky full of finishes. : ) It's okay if your post contains finishes, but it must also contain at least one unfinished item. 2) Please link back to my blog in your post. 3) Comment on some of the other links. 4) Enjoy!

Can you put a fussy cut piece of YOUR fabric into the 'blues' block? I feel like my own style is all over the board since I like to design for other people and their interests are so eclectic on a combined basis....so I hear you when struggling to find an identity within quilting. Look forward to seeing what you come up with...just do what you love.

LOL I hope you don't think it's just going to take a week LOL! I had 2 in diapers for over a year, as my 2 boys are so close together in age. It's such a nice thing though when they are finally potty trained... so worth any work and accidents. Good luck!

Oooohhh!! Those blues are SO pretty! It's hard to define "me", so I don't think you're overthinking it at all! :) For my bee month, I'm going to ask my fellow worker bees to make a block that says "California" to them because when we started, we all lived in California, and now I've moved away, so I want a commemorative quilt. :)
Oh, and good luck with the potty training. I've got to do that, too, once the weather warms up a bit more.

I know what you mean about style--there are a few quilters out there that you look at their quilt and you don't even need to see a name! Good luck with the block. And congrats on almost 80 people linking up so far. :)

Love your spoonflower boots. And what about a Supernova block for your bee? That's very "you"!
Good luck with the potty training. My unsolicited advice is don't make it a battle. If there's resistance, retreat and wait til they're ready.
- May 26, 2011 at 12:13 AM
Love your boots! Good luck with potty training. My daughter (now 9) trained early, then completely stopped after about a month. I always told my hubbie it was like she was saying, "Oh, you want me to do this all the time? I don't think so." She did get it, just later.

sheesh! I just realized I forgot to hook up in the linky but I see it's closed now. Oh well, always next week and your button is still on my blog post.
You always have so many great projects going. I see the placemat tutorial so I need to hop back over there and save it to favorites to check out when I have time.

Hi! I'd like to start participating in WIP Wednesday, and I wrote my first post and linked to Don't call me betsy, cause I guess that's who hosted it yesterday, but I don't know how to do the thing with the pictures and links of everybody else's WIPS... Can you tell me how to do that?

I'll admit it I am, but there was a certain basketball debacle that wiped out most of my credits. It wasn't like I posted this thread at exactly 12:00am.
Go Cyclones!
Anyone need an extra ticket?
Got a free one i'll give you!

This is odd seeing this on a Friday!
Go Cyclones, Shock the World!!
When Prepared, Fear No One.
Go Cyclones! Beat the Pokes!
I think Iowa State will win. Don't be surprised at my answer.
Someday, sometime, somebody is going to defeat those Cowboys, oh, it WILL happen...
why not us? Yes, let's shock the world!
Big-game situations like this have let down ISU fanatics time and again.
In various ways.
It would be way-cool if all of that heartbreak culminated with a stunning upset in a game as high-profile as this. The potential of another dose of humility is the risk (whether it's a near-win that shows ISU can't get over the hump; or an embarrassing blowout on ESPN, for anyone to see)
But: The opportunity for the unthinkable is huge. When was the last time Iowa State faced a team with title hopes this late in the season, with bowl eligibility also at stake?
Lets go State!!!!! Pull this off some how some way baby
Anarchy!!! Anarchy!!!! idk what that word means but I love it!!!!!!
ISU will win. As long as I can walk straight to the stadium which is unlikely.

Holman Heritage Community Center now has a project administrator for the $220,000 Economic Development Program grant the City of Stuttgart received to repair and replace portions of the Center's roof.
With the grant money comes being in compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws. The resolution, which was passed unanimously, will allow the City to enter into a contract for administrative services.
Nearly 100 years ago, the Holman School was opened as a school for African Americans with classes held until the 1970s. Today, the building is now known as the Holman Heritage Community Center — a work in progress to restore the building for community and civic activities as well as historic significance.
Recently the Center has been raising funds through private donations to repair the building. As of Tuesday $230,000 had been raised. With the grant money now in place the total stands at $450,000, according to Stuttgart Alderman Jim Craig.
Also during Tuesday night's Stuttgart City Council meeting, the Council approved the purchase of a 2011 Palmer 26-foot dump trailer with Mountain Electric Tarp. The ordinance waived competitive bidding and also included the emergency clause.
"Even when we are hauling rocks to different departments we have to have a tarp," Andrew Robinson, Stuttgart Public Works director, said.
The tarp cost the city $27,500 and will be coming from bond money passed in February by voters.
"The other one tore up and it wasn't worth fixing — it has been taken to salvage," Maynard said.
Competitive bidding was waived because there is no other source from which to buy the equipment, according to the ordinance.
The next Stuttgart City Council meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 7 at Stuttgart City Hall, located at 304 S. Maple Street. To have an item added to the agenda call (870) 673-3535.

Reviews for Hot Chocolate Souffles
"Sounds very good, however, nutritional values would be appreciated for us on special diets due to health reasons."
"This was very easy. I even made only a half recipe and it was the most decadent dessert we have had in a long time. Only thing I personally added with 2 Andi Mints under the marshmellows. This is my new go to chocolate dessert!"
"I really wanted to like this one. I followed all directions to the T and wouldn't even let my teen help so she didn't mess it up ;-) Timing of cooking was off for me. I left it in for about 18 minutes and it was still not set in the middle. I pulled it out anyway just in case I was overcooking it somehow. Wow. Is this ever sweet. I like sweet. Alot. But this is a little over-the-top in the sweet field. Probably won't make again...and I still have leftover batter in the fridge."
"Mine sunk in the middles, is it supposed to do that? Either way it was sooo delicious!"

Arkansas combined its men and women's athletic programs into one department in 2008. It has 460 athletes in 19 sports.
The school said Friday the combined grade-point average for its athletes was 3.09 — the fifth consecutive year in which it has been above 3.0 on a 4-point scale. Ninety-four athletes graduated.
Sixteen of 19 Razorback sport programs advanced to post-season competition. Men's track and field captured its 41st national championship; women's track won the SEC Indoor title.

Nosebleeds can be a scary occurrence, but are usually not dangerous. The medical term for nosebleed is epistaxis. They are fairly common in children, especially in dry climates or during the winter months when dry heat inside homes and buildings can cause drying, cracking, or crusting inside the nose. Many times, children outgrow the tendency for nosebleeds during their teenage years.
The front part of the nose contains many fragile blood vessels that can be damaged easily. Most nosebleeds in children occur in the front part of the nose close to the nostrils.
Nosebleeds are caused by many factors, but some of the most common causes include the following:
Many times no apparent cause for a nosebleed can be found.
Specific treatment for nosebleeds, that require more than minor treatment at home, will be determined by your child's physician. In general, call your child's physician for nosebleeds if:
If your child has frequent nosebleeds, some general guidelines to help prevent nosebleeds from occurring include the following:

I love fruit jelly candies. They go by many different names and forms depending on where they originate and you may easily recognize them in the forms of pâtes de fruit, jelly belly beans and gummi bears to name just a few. These jellied sweets (made either with gelatin, pectin, or sometimes agar agar) deliver bold fruity flavors and satisfying textures, both of which make my knees feel as if they were made of jelly too.
Imagine my delight as I saw these on the shelf during one of my first visits to a Cost Plus World Market with Cybele. There were many different foreign candy options to choose from, but these German "fruit gelees" caught my eye immediately. The package beautifully illustrates the candies as variation of the traditional pâtes de fruit in a variety of colorful shapes. It was really too much for me to resist.
Taking the candies out of the package, I couldn't help but feel I was handling little edible jewels. The are strikingly beautiful, with bright colors and a nice glittering effect from their granulated sugar coating. Taking a bite I find that the texture is just lovely: a little on the firm side, which is not as tough as a gum drop but still enough to hold it all together. You teeth sink into them like you would a tender steak; slowly and savoring each moment.
Kirsche (cherry): Round red one: The flavor is the oddest and most authentic cherry I've had I think. It's tart, slightly sweet, and has a spicy fruity flavor that's a little bitter.
Ananas (pineapple): Tear dropped white one: The flavor is sweet and starchy with notes of sweet juicy pineapple. Toward the end of the flavor there's a nice burst of tartness to it. Milder than the real thing and the less "authentic" flavor of the bunch, but still really tasty.
Orange (orange): Moon shaped orange one: Very flavorful. Nice juicy, orange flavor that is both sweet and tart. Reminds me of a slightly watered down orange juice.
Apfel (apple): Round green one: the flavor is authentic, light and zesty. Just like a tart apple cider.
Zitrone (lemon): Moon shaped yellow one: Whoa, this is tart! It tastes exactly like the inside of a lemon meringue pie: sharp, zesty and terribly fresh.
Johannisbeere (currant): Oblong dark red: Bright, juicy, fruity flavor with notes of pine.
These are wonderful and make me realize that I need to eat more of this type of candy more often. I wish they'd be more mainstream and therefore easier to find, as I always feel like it's a bit of a hunt to come across treats like these. The flip side is they feel like treasure when I do, and perhaps seeing them more often would kill the magic (and my waistline). I can count on these to deliver flavor and sweetness when I need it most and it's a special craving that only jellied candy can satisfy. I strongly urge you to give these a try if you see them, as it'll introduce your taste buds to something amazing.
The only thing keeping me from giving these a "Hoard" rating is that there's so many jellied candies out there, I gotta make room to try them all before I decide on a favorite.
Rating: Will Buy Again

SAFC to celebrate Nelson Mandela Day
Commemorative matchday planned at the SoL.
Sunderland AFC is to celebrate its recent collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Foundation by designating its forthcoming game against Manchester United at the Stadium of Light 'Nelson Mandela Day'.
Sunderland's players will sport one-off t-shirts for the pre-game warm up, bearing the foundation's logo and a special 'text to donate' message in support of the foundation. Both teams will take to the field through a guard of honour of youngsters also sporting Nelson Mandela Foundation t-shirts, along with eleven specially chosen mascots. A flag bearing the foundations' logo will also be displayed pitchside.
We are hugely proud of our association with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and this game provides us with a tremendous global platform to launch our partnership.
- Mike Farnan, International Marketing Director
We are hugely proud of our association with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and this game provides us with a tremendous global platform to launch our partnership.
- Mike Farnan, International Marketing Director
African musicians, the Abatimbo Drummers of Burundi, will entertain fans before the game and again at half-time showcasing the unique musical sound of Africa.
Across the next 18 months, Sunderland AFC will support a number of fundraising initiatives on behalf of the Foundation, including a Gala dinner, planned for later this year. 'Nelson Mandela Day' will see the launch of a special text number which allows fans to pledge their support by donating £2 to the foundation. Fans can simply text SAFC67 £2 to 70070 to make their donation.
The players' shirts, as worn during the game, will be auctioned online via the club's official website, www.safc.com, to kick off the fundraising, with all monies raised going to help the foundation continue its work.
Launched earlier this month, the unique partnership between the club and the foundation, a first in world football, aims to help to promote the former South African President's legacy, through the global reach of the Barclays Premier League. Sunderland AFC will be a Legacy Advocate for the Nelson Mandela Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation established in 1999 to support the former South African Presidents' ongoing engagement in promoting his legacy of social justice outside the purely political arena following his retirement.
At the same time Sunderland AFC hopes to utilise the organisations' knowledge and expertise to continue to raise greater awareness of social issues, such as inclusion and diversity and support football's quest to eradicate racism from within the game.
Sunderland AFC's marketing director Mike Farnan said: "We are hugely proud of our association with the Nelson Mandela Foundation and this game provides us with a tremendous global platform to launch our partnership.
"When we welcomed representatives from the Nelson Mandela Foundation to Sunderland they were delighted with the work we do with the Foundation of Light and clearly felt there was a great deal of synergy in what we are all seeking to achieve. By becoming a Legacy Advocate of the Nelson Mandela Foundation we hope to accomplish even more for a common good."
Sunderland AFC began its off the field relationship with the African continent in 2011 forging a partnership with the Invest In Africa initiative to promote awareness of the opportunities of doing business in Africa. Linking with Invest in Africa has also helped Sunderland AFC to grow its fanbase and global presence, particularly in Africa, where nearly 1.2 billion people watch Premier League matches.
The club's own registered charity, Foundation of Light, is widely recognised as the blue print for community programmes across British football. It uses the power of football to involve, educate and inspire more than 42,000 young people and their families across the North East of England each year, through a broad range of innovative and award-winning programmes aimed at changing and enhancing lives.

Paris residents Lisa Davidson and Liz Ayre share their inside knowledge of the City of Lights in National Geographic Traveler: Paris. All the fabled sights are here; the Eiffel Tower, the Notre-Dame, the Louvre; with detailed background information on each place and how best to visit (purchase the museum pass, for instance, for the best price into museums). You will also discover a plethora of lesser known sights like the great Parisian parks, the Fountains, and the ultra chic Avenue Montaigne. Mapped walking tours of the Old Marais, the Grands Boulevards, and Montparnasse are included.
Two-page write-ups treat particular subjects in depth and focus on aspects of Paris such as the city's fascinating cemeteries and the role of great Parisian love affairs within French society. Additionally, experiential suggestions are provided to help the user decide between boating the Seine or taking an art class. The guide also provides beautiful three-dimensional artworks that depict the architectural details of the Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and Versailles. As in all of the Traveler guides, a meticulous history and culture chapter fills you in on the city's background and the Travelwise section provides all the information you need for traveling to and around Paris, as well as the author's pick of the best hotels and restaurants in a variety of price ranges.
Lisa Davidson is a writer living in Paris, having published in Village France, France par Excellence, and World Media Network, and authored Baboushka and Dedoushka, a memoir of the Russian Revolution. She works at Beaux-Arts Magazine and Gallimard.
Elizabeth Ayre is the author of They Don't Take No for an Answer and editor of the journal Variations in Paris. She has written for the International Herald Tribune, The Independent, Village France and France par Excellence guidebooks.
