When contemplating an office design or redesign, it can be a tough call to decide between an open-space floor plan and a layout that affords private spaces and offices. This question of floor plan is important because it affects the productivity of the office each day. As a new office design is an investment, it's important to make a decision that will enhance your business for years to come.
The Open Space Concept
Open-space offices have been trendy in recent years. The biggest benefit of the open concept office is that it fosters "collaboration." (1) For businesses that depend upon a high degree of collaboration, the open office space can be extremely effective. Many business leaders also like the ability to keep tabs on their employees. Of course, the feeling of being "watched" all day long can also be a con for many employees. Close scrutiny of employees at work can create a stressful and anxious environment. Moreover, the open space can also prove disruptive for employees who work better when they are isolated or subjected to less noise.
Private Offices
The private office allows an employee to ward away distractions and get down to work. Private spaces allow employees to take better ownership of their space. Having privacy also allows employees to create their own ideal work space. They might choose to work in utter quietude or to play music that enhances their performance. Private spaces also denote status within the organization. While this can create tension among employees who do not have access to a private work space, it can give some employees something to strive for within the business.
Business must decide on what type of floor plan will work best for them. Some may finally decide on a hybrid plan where there is some space dedicated for private work areas and others designated as open spaces. Many employers prefer to talk to their employees one on one to determine how each prefers to work. Their preferences may help a business decide on a plan that is pleasing to all. Talking to a design firm is also a great way to "help configure an optimal working environment." (2)

It was Senior Night for the St. Louis Park Orioles Tuesday night and they celebrated with five goals from their leading scorer Lauren Brunn-Bryant as they bounced back from a three goal deficit to beat the Cooper Hawks 16-11.
The Hawks got off to a flying start in the first half when Maddy Boylan streaked down the middle, cut through the Oriole defense and sent the ball into the net. They went up by two on Kelsey Lutgen's goal and Carolyn Hepp heaped the ball toward the goal and the lead increased to three. The Orioles called time out as co-head coaches Katie Gliske and Kyle Sweeney settled the team down and they came on strong, scoring eight unanswered goals. Maddie Brown would record a hat trick and Anna Baer and Lauren Brunn-Bryant would tally twice. Amy Schulz would also score from St. Louis Park. Cooper would end the run with goals from Haley Sundquist and Lutgen, her second of the game and the Orioles would lead at the half 8-5.
Krisianny Flores would open the second half scoring for the Hawks, scoring on a free shot. Lauren Brunn-Bryant would pick up the hat trick, also scoring on a free shot. The Orioles would add two more goals from Molly Arntson and Lauren Brunn Bryant. Baer would score on a side shot after receiving a pass from Brown. Goals would come as fast as trains going down the railroad tracks near the stadium as both Cooper and St. Louis Park would score two apiece in a stretch of 1:24. Alyssa Burke and Sundquist would score for Cooper and Sophia Noreen and Arntson would find the net for St. Louis Park. Burke would also score he second goal of the game and Sundquist would conclude the Hawks scoring with 3:10 left. Lauren Brunn-Bryant would end the game's scoring with :05 left.
Prior to the start of the game, six St. Louis Park seniors were recognized. They were Lauren and Mac Brunn-Bryant, Arntson, Mary Pavia, Kate Sulzie and reserve goalkeeper Dana Kuenzi, who played in the second half.

Wondering what's open and what's closed on Presidents Day 2014? Many people are searching Google to find out if Walmart is open, if banks and the post office are closed, and if the stock market is open on the federal holiday celebrated on Monday, February 17.

When most people consider drought, they think of the impact upon nature. Forest fires tend to run rampant in the dry, summer months, and the California drought 2014 is set to be one of the worst droughts in the state's 163-year history. However, we also worry about the health of our plants as gardeners during dry times like these. However, dry weather doesn't mean you should give up on your garden. In fact, you might discover some new foods as you get acquainted with drought hardy plants.
Drought Hardy Plants to Fill your Garden
Sacramento sits in a Mediterranean Climate Zone. This means that native plants here are used to not having much rain from March through October. Fall of 2013 stretched those tolerances thin as the lack of rain pushed past 2013 and into 2014. As you plan your garden this spring, think about the choices of plants, and opt for plants that require less water, can do well with increased heat, and are still great to eat. While melons provide plenty of moisture as a snack, they'll also do well in the California drought 2014. Tomatoes of all varieties and herbs with woody stems are especially hardy so you can rest assured when planting them in your garden this year. You can also spice up your dinners with garlic, which should survive the drought.
Asparagus is one of those drought hardy plants that requires minimal effort. Plant it one one area that you tend on a yearly basis, and it can last up to two decades. Rhubarb is similar to asparagus in that it pays off well in the long run.
Here are some other vegetables to consider for your garden:
- Sweet corn
- Sweet potatoes
- Sweet or hot peppers
- New Zealand spinach
- Pumpkins and squash
- Okra
- Leeks
- Onions
- Cucumbers
- Cabbages
- Sun King Hybrid broccoli
- Bush and pole beans
Some plants aren't going to stand up to drought all season long, but you can still salvage them if you harvest early. For example, leafy lettuce varieties are good if you catch your crop early.
Sacramento Organic Gardening Tips
It may be smarter to pay more attention to your garden so that you can feed yourself and family from your organic garden without paying the high prices grocery stores will charge for produce during a drought.
Mulching helps to keep plants cool and drying while compost is also beneficial during a drought. You can collect used water from pasta in your home to water your garden. Cut back on weeding your garden because this causes soil to dry more quickly.
Drought Changes Watering Methods
Limits for Sacramento organic gardening during drought have recently been announced by the city. The city is in what it calls its "Stage 2" water-usage plan. The plan hopes to curb usage of water by 20 to 30 percent. There are now limitations posed on washing your car as well as an increase in fines for wasting water.
A drought also changes watering methods of gardeners. In Sacramento, you can only water your garden one day per week until March 9th. The city will allow two watering days per week after March 9th and until the end of daylight sayings. Watering days are determined by your address. If you have an odd address, you may water your plants on Saturday. Homeowners with even addresses are required to only water their plants and yards on Sunday. Additionally, you will only be able to water your garden before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m.
Sacramento organic gardening rules do take into consideration new potter plants or landscaping, which you can water 21 days after planting to ensure the health of the plants. In addition to these requirements, the city offers suggestions to save water, including adjust sprinkler levels to prevent over spraying, which also helps your garden. Sprinklers are especially wasteful of water during a drought because water evaporates while in the air. Hoses and watering cans are better
Avoid Fines During the California Drought 2014
Don't be one of the building owners who tries to ignore limitations. The city of Sacramento has serious penalties for water usage violations.
Your first offense results in a written notice.
Second offenses result in $25 fines.
Third offenses result in $100 fines.
Fourth violations result in $500 fines.
Change your watering methods to save water and money.

While not as popular some of Disney's Marvel properties, "Guardians of the Galaxy" is expected to make a big splash when it opens on August 1. But you're probably asking with a name so cool, who are these guys? Well, Disney just sent over a featurette introducing you to the sexy and deadly Gamora played by Zoe Saldana. She's almost as tough as that other green guy.
If you need to know more about Marvel's merry band of bounty hunters, here's their story in a nutshell from our friends at the Mouse: "From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy's fate in the balance."

I was fortunate enough to spend a few years living in China. Julia Yu immediately reminded me of the fine qualities of the Chinese people. Dedication. Hard work. Simplicity. A drive to do better and create a better life for family. Commitment to friends, family, country and culture.
Right away you can tell that Julia has drive and is committed to making the best life for herself and her family. You can also tell who her priority is: Meet at 1pm on Tuesday? OK, but not too late because I have to go pick up my kids at school.
Julia is humble. Could you describe your success story? I don't think I'm successful – I'm just a normal person doing what I need to get along with life.
Julia comes from Dandong city in Liaoning province in the North East part of China, right on the border with North Korea. With just under three quarters of a million people, Dandong is a small city by Chinese standards. It's quite a change coming to a town of forty thousand, so why make the move?
Before coming to Campbell River she lived in Vancouver for three years. However, the substantial immigrant population in Vancouver left Julia feeling lost in the immigrant community there. Moving to Campbell River has breathed fresh air into her life as a Canadian. Here she feels connected to the community and the people of it.
In Vancouver it was easy to get stuck in the immigrant community and feel isolated. By contrast, here she can connect with locals more easily and as a result feels much more happy with life here.
Julia likes Campbell River because she feels the people are nice and the small community creates a feeling of being in a family. It is much easier to feel closer to other people. She finds it easier to find her way around and easier to get to know everyone.
There is a strong sense of inclusiveness in the community, and Julia has felt comfortable to participate in community events such as the Community Dialogue at the Maritime Heritage Center, Inclusive Leadership Adventure, and community parades such as Canada Day, Remembrance Day, and the Annual Walk Away from Racism.
The small community of Campbell River has also given Julia a great opportunity to improve her English. Julia finds it much easier to practice and improve English in the community because of the easy-going nature of the residents. As well, the lack of a substantial immigrant population has forced her to learn to rely on her own language abilities. Julia emphasizes that she has greatly improved English ability because of coming here and she is very proud of that fact that she can now speak two languages, while her friends back home still only speak one.
Julia loves the environment of Campbell River, especially the trees, mountain and sea.
In Chinese culture, mountains, water and trees are often referenced in poetry and literature as comprising the ideal habitat. Paintings with mountains, water and trees serve to further promote the dream and mystery of such places.
It would seem that living in a place like Campbell River, with its abundance of rich evergreen forests, vast green seas and majestic snow-capped peaks, is like living in a dream land.
Julia is a fully qualified and experienced high school science teacher, but unfortunately Julia has been unable to find work in her profession. Language ability is still a barrier, but so is ourcountry's acceptance of her education and experience. But being in such an environment, with its kind people and peaceful atmosphere has inspired Julia to volunteer as a tutor with the Campbell River Christian School.
Julia and her family have really accepted life here and consider Campbell River and Canada to be their home. She sincerely hopes to be able to use her skills as a teacher but for now is content to volunteer as a tutor.
She sees that Campbell River has much opportunity in the future. Its growing population can only mean more opportunity and new ideas. She wonders why we export so many of our raw materials. All the products in the stores are made in China, but made from our resources, she observes. Why not build furniture here? We have the wood and the carpenters. We have our own unique native-influenced art. It's time for Canada to start using its skills, not just give the world its resources.
I'm sure that Julia Yu is going to help us figure out how to do that.
Interviewed and prepared by the volunteer Mr. Dave Brown

Welcome to my QRZ page. Feel free to contact me on echolink (VE3CA) or Skype (cgrant416) to arrange a sked or chat.
I am an electrical engineer (University of Toronto 8T7) working in the design and manufacture of fish and wildlife telemetry products. (http://www.sigmaeight.ca)
In 1978, at age 14, I was originally licensed as VE3LCC operating from Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. Until 1983 I was quite active on HF (SSB and CW) and VHF (FM), participating in almost every field day and climbing lots of repeater towers. My first rig was a National NC300 receiver and a Johnson Viking Invader transmitter. Both were huge boat anchors but magical when lit up in a small shack on a winter night.
Later I reduced the footprint of my shack considerably by acquiring an Heathkit HW101.
Finally, I got with the times in the 90s and purchased new IC-735 (seen below) which has been my faithful servant ever since. (Needless to say I'm behind the times again :)
I moved to Newmarket in 1989, then to King City in 2001, then briefly to Schomberg in 2009, and finally back to Newmarket in 2010. I received my two letter call around 1994.
Newmarket is located about 40km north of Toronto. Here is a picture of the old main street.
We also have a major street full of box stores, etc, but it is not as interesting.
Here is a picture of me with my family at Christmas 2012.
My Son was a competitive speed skater so we spent lots of time at the arena or by the oval. Here he is in Calgary
Due to kids and work, I had not been very active for many years but I finally got the HF antennas back up and dusted off the old IC-735. I hope to be a little more active through the next sunspot cycle. Looking forward to re-establishing old contacts and making new ones. Please call if you hear me on!
Here is my modest shack.
I am currently most active on digital HF, especially JT-65, JT-9 and PSK31 on 20m, 40m and 80m. When I started, I usually used CW and SSB, so this is like a new hobby for me now.
I am also the happy recipient of a new kidney (Nov 2012) since my previous ones failed due to Polycystic Kidney Disease. My complete gratitude to the unknown donor and doctors at St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto. We have an excellent health care system here in Canada.
Please consider making your intentions known about organ donation to your local health care system. You could save several lives.

Marcy Christmas continues to negotiate with the owners of a steer named Panda who had been purposely set on fire last year in a barn at the Paso Robles High School, Calif. campus reported kcbx.com.
At only five-months-old, Panda had been doused with lighter fluid and set on fire. On the morning of October 16, 2013, a student found the steer in the barn; the animal's face and around his eyes, his shoulder and back line had been severely burned. Panda's owner, Dylan Wilkinson, 16, nursed the steer back to health. The animal was part of the FFA program.
In May, Paso Robles resident, Garrett Kaplan, 23, was arrested after a lengthy investigation and charged with animal cruelty. He has pleaded not guilty.
Read the entire story by clicking here.
No one was sure if Panda was ever going to recover, but he did, and according to Wilkinson has a great temperament. At the beginning of the month, Panda was set to go to slaughter. Along came Marcy Christmas, who wanted to rescue the steer instead and send him to the Animal Place, a 600 acre sanctuary in Grass Valley. Christmas felt that an animal that had suffered that much with the severity of his burns deserved to live his life out in peace rather than be slaughtered for meat.
Christmas offered the Wilkinsons $10,000; almost double the price of what they would have received selling Panda for his meat.
As of now, however the father of the young man who owns Panda said he isn't selling; he is grooming Panda to hopefully win Grand Champion which could mean more money in the future. Christmas says the offer still stands.

Rehearsals For The Apocalypse: The Austin Sun Years 1974- 1978
The South Austin Popular Culture Center is proud to announce a landmark exhibit featuring the underground newspaper the Austin Sun. The exhibit will run from
Sept. 11 through Oct. 23.
Rehearsals For The Apocalypse encompasses the entire run of the Austin Sun, which was from October 1974 through June of 1978. The Sun was founded by two young men: Jeff Nightbyrd, an east coast radical who'd been involved with the New York publication The Rat and the Austin publication The Rag, and Michael Eakin, former editor of the University of Texas' newspaper The Daily Texan. Joined later by printer and bon vivant J. David Moriaty as Managing Editor, The Sun transcended the usual mode of underground newspapers with professional layouts, cutting edge news articles and, wonder of wonders, paid staff positions.
It's interesting that many of the issues that were important in the 1970s like police violence, pollution, alternative energy, sexuality and the issue of legalization of marijuana are still important today. The news articles in the exhibit will illustrate this interesting phenomenon.
The exhibit will show a selection of newspaper covers along with accompanying articles, photographs and comments by Jeff Nightbyrd, Dave Moriaty and some of the key staffers. Quite a few vintage photographs will be on display, donated for use by staff members like Ave Bonar, Ken Hoge, Nicholas Russell, Tomas Pantin, Steve Salibo, Charlyn Zlotnik, Carlene Brady, Shelley Grehshan and Stephanie Chernikowski.
Click here to read more about the exhibit in the Austin Chronicle.
The exhibit will open with a reception on Saturday, September 11th, starting at 7:09pm. There will be live music and refreshments. At the reception former staffers will be provided with the opportunity to make written comments for inclusion in the exhibit.
Rehearsals For The Apocalypse: The Austin Sun Years 1974- 1978 will run from September 11th through October 23rd. Center hours are Thursday through Sunday from 1 – 6pm or by appointment and chance. For more information contact the Center at 512.440.8318 or by email at email@example.com.

Nov. 9, 2004
UCLA guards Nikki Blue and Noelle Quinn are amongst 50 pre-season candidates for the Naismith Trophy presented by Cingular Wireless, the Atlanta Tipoff Club announced today. The Naismith Trophy is the most prestigious national award presented annually to the men's and women's players of the year.
The Top 50 list was compiled by the Atlanta Tipoff Club's Board of Selectors, comprised of leading basketball journalists, coaches and administrators from around the country. The board based its pre-season criteria on player performances from last season.
Last season, Blue was a first-team All-Pac-10 performer for the second consecutive year, averaging 15.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.9 assists and 2.97 steals per game. She was impressive in post-season play, earning all-tournament honors for the second straight year at the Pac-10 Tournament and then lighting up Minnesota for an all-time UCLA NCAA Tournament best 33 points in first round action.
Quinn also earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors and was voted the conference's Freshman of the Year after a stellar first season in which she led UCLA in both scoring (15.9 ppg) and rebounding (7.7 rpg). She set a school freshman record by scoring 20 or more points in six consecutive games and she also had eight double-doubles, including a triple-double at Cal (21 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists).
"The women's pre-season candidates represent the very best in college basketball," said Gary Stokan, Atlanta Sports Council president. "It will be a privilege to add any of these players to the list of distinguished Naismith Trophy winners."
In January, the Board of Selectors will narrow its pre-season list to the Top 30 players in the nation. Those players and others who distinguish themselves throughout the season, will be eligible for the final ballot in March.
"The talent in women's basketball is as deep as it's ever been this season," said Daryl Evans, vice president of advertising and marketing for Cingular Wireless. "Cingular is excited to partner with the Atlanta Tipoff Club to present the best women's player with the most recognizable award in college basketball, the Naismith Trophy."

Chair Comfort Features
We have been building and constantly optimizing our dining chair and parsons chair designs for over 20 years. There are many industry ergonomic standards we follow to offer you one of the most comfortable chairs available. Even with these standards we have tweaked the design over time based on customer feedback. We strive to offer seating that will be rugged and durable and at the same time offer you the ability to have long conversations over dinner without feeling fatigued.
Comfort Guidelines
Carrington Court follows the following rules-of-thumb for making a comfortable chair.
- The occupant should be able to sit in and get up from the chair without any difficulty.
- The depth of the seat should allow clearance from the front of the seat to the back of the occupant's legs. If the seat is too deep, it will press against the occupant legs forcing them to sit away from the back or slouch forward. Conversely, if the seat is shallow, it may be unstable or unusable to the occupant.
- The width of the seat tapers from the front to the back to allow clearance for legs and clothes in the front while offering elbow room at the back.
- The seat should slant slightly toward the back to offer relaxed seating and to keep the occupant from slipping out of the chair.
- The back of the chair should slant backwards to comfort the occupant.
- The lower portion of the seat back should curve out to allow room for the buttocks.
Cushions play a very critical role in the comfort of the dining chair. Cheaper cushions have a low foam density and will flatten out. We try to provide the right amount of padding with enough resilience so that the cushions hold their shape and at the same time provide the maximum comfort level. The 3 factors that go into making the best cushion possible are:
Foam Density - Higher foam densities are conducive to a cushion, which provides more support and will keep its shape over a longer period of time. The lower the density, the more air there is in the cushion. Over time, the air will be compressed out and the cushion will loose its shape and support. Of course, this is a balancing act. If the cushion density is too high, it will be rigid and uncomfortable. At Carrington Court, we use a 1.8 foam density. This number means that a 1 cubic foot piece of foam would weigh 1.8 pounds.
Thickness - The benefits of a thicker cushion are fairly obvious. If a cushion is too thin, it will not provide any support and you may "bottom out." We currently offer a 2-inch thick cushion, which provides comfort and a "full seat" appearance.
Seat Padding - Foam seating used alone is not enough. Over the seat is applied a layer of Dacron wrap, which is also referred to as "low-melt." This is used to keep the fabric from creeping on the cushion. Creeping can cause wrinkles. It also softens the sharp, harsh-edged look of the foam.
Other Padding
Padding is used throughout the chair in critical places to give a more aesthetic appeal and to provide comfort. All corners and edges are padded as well as any area that the user will actually contact. Parsons chairs are generally padded with cotton batting. In addition to comfort, the batting also helps provide shape for the chairs and ensures that the framing material will not wear on the upholstery fabric.
When considering your parsons chair or dining chair selection comfort should be the key. Chairs are no good if they are too uncomfortable to use. Combine comfort with quality and you cannot go wrong.

[feat. Sean Scott]
Oh my friend, what was it that made you this way,
Every move you make is another mistake,
Another fucking mistake.
Relocating the memories that time has all but erased,
They've all been washed away.
You run your mouth around this town but only hollow words come out,
I've always told you ignorance is bliss.
You've come so far from honesty,
Tell me what have you achieved always looking back over your shoulder.
Your a fucking fake and if your legs wont carry you,
You can rot right where you fall.
Right where you fall...
This song is a momentum to everything you were and have become,
Such a waste of life, the times we tried to help you make something of your life, with no effect.
Kick It.
You mean nothing to me, you mean nothing to anyone.

Nov. 6, 2005
Washington 114, Simon Fraser 48 (exhibition)
Sunday, Nov. 6, 2005
Bank of America Arena/Seattle, Wash.
WASHINGTON COACH Lorenzo Romar
General Comments:
"It was great to be able to get out and play a game first of all. Our guys really looked forward to coming out and playing. This was an exhibition game so it didn't count for us or against us on our record but our guys were so excited to get out and play and I think it showed. 31 assists, I think we did a good job that way, we shared the basketball and a lot of guys stepped up big. In a game like that, with so many possessions and so many opportunities, I think our shot selection was pretty good."
On Team Efficiency:
"Hopefully we can do that next week when it counts. It will be tough to duplicate that."
On Freshman Play:
"I thought they all came in and did a nice job, obviously. John Brockman played very well-8 of 9 from the floor. He played within what we were doing and he looked like he had already been playing with us before. Artem Wallace did some good things out there, the freshman took the ball to the basket, I thought he rebounded pretty well.
On Jon Brockman's Mask:
"Jon had broken his nose about three to four weeks ago, and finally he was advised to play with a mask and he had one custom made for him so that he can go out and play. He'll wear that for another week and a half or so and then he can take it off. I kind of like him with the mask-a little Halloween effect there.
On expectations for Dentman:
"We're asking him to run a team, but yet continue to still be aggressive. We would prefer to have guards that could score twenty on any given night if the game presents that opportunity, but when someone is open we need him to be able to get that basketball to them. He, like Will Conroy, for all of his life was kind of a scoring point guard and we want him to be a scoring point guard here. But at the same time, when you have a Jamal Williams shooting such a high percentage, Brandon Roy and on and on and on-those guys need to have a basketball in their hands.
On Appleby's performance:
"He did a tremendous job. It is very evident that he can shoot the basketball and he has a quick release, but he really did a good job of pressuring the ball on the other end. Defensively we thought he did a very nice job, he played well tonight. He would have done well even if he didn't hit his shots, but because he did, it made him look even better."

Our Cottage Lane subway tiles in 2 x 4 inch are available in both a Beveled edge and a Flat edge ceramic body. Our beveled edge subway tiles have proven popular with customers who want a unique look and design for their kitchen or bathroom projects and also want to incorporate the timeless look of subway tile in to their home.
Our Cottage Lane subway tile collection offers a wide range of design options with both 2 x 4 inch and 3 x 6 inch sizes available as well as both a beveled and a flat edge offered, all in three beautiful colors. Our interior designer clients always tell us that Beveled edge subway tiles in the kitchen or bathroom shower add such a unique dimension to the classic look of traditional subway tile.
The 2 x 4 inch Cottage Lane subway tiles all come mesh-mounted on a sheet for ease of installation. We offer a full complement of trim and edge pieces for our Cottage Lane subway tiles as well as a nice selection of liners and border pieces. All of our Cottage Lane subway tiles are in-stock and ready for immediate shipment. Keep in mind when selecting Beveled tiles, we always recommend using a quarter round trim or edge piece to finish off any exposed edges in your project rather than a bullnose trim piece This is because with the slope of the beveled tile edges a bullnose piece will not match up at all with beveled tile edges.
Keep in mind when choosing subway tiles for your project that not all tiles are created equal. We urge you to compare our tile quality against any similar tile and we are confident you will find our quality superior in the following ways. Our tile glaze is smooth and even across the tile, the tile body is made as a thick double-fired ceramic construction to ensure a long lasting and durable tile, and we offer this quality in a range of sizes which include 2 x 4 inch and 3 x 6 inch with a full compliment of trim pieces and liners and borders.
Order a sample of our Cottage Lane Subway tiles by clicking the blue Order Samples button above and see for yourself why the quality of our tiles is second to none.

Very satisfied
Posted by Bonnie from Texas on 10th Sep 2012
I had been looking for months for just the right tiles for my kitchen backsplash. Had new countertops with beveled edges installed and found these online with the beveled edge and ordered the summer beige sample. These are perfect! Had them installed with an inset band of glass onyx mini-tiles that are a coordinating color with my counter tops. I couldn't be happier. And I get so many compliments.
Customer service and shipping were great. I would definitely recommend these tiles and this company to anyone. Will use them again in the future on my next project.
Posted by Seguine, Northern NJ on 25th Jul 2012
We had a really tough time matching our new, white kitchen cabinets with a crisp, clean-looking 3X6 white subway tile. We wanted something that didn't look harsh, but that also didn't have a yellow or brown hue that would reflect jarringly off our black, gray and blue granite counter top. To make things a little more difficult, we also needed an assortment of bullnoses that very few manufacturers of quality subway tile seem to carry.
We were under tight time constraints, but when we got in touch with Anchor Bay I had samples in hand within days, and once we placed our order it came to us in under a week. Compared to other tile of this quality, the Cottage Lane turned out to be quite reasonably priced.
We used a pale gray grout and our kitchen backsplash came out great. The tile color is perfect, the glaze has a lovely texture, and we were especially happy with the shape of the bullnoses, which slope gradually rather than curving abruptly--a very fine, subtle look.
Not only was their product first rate, dealing with Anchor Bay was an absolute pleasure. We'll be calling them up again when we get around to re-tiling the bathroom.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My husband and I have been renovating/restoring a little Victorian house built in 1900. Trying to bring it up to today's standards while maintaining the era has not been easy. When it came to doing the kitchen we wanted something stylish and ageless and the only thing we thought would work would be subway tile. Unfortunately just try and find 2x4 subway tiles anywhere in Canada.... not possible, believe me I made my fingers do the wandering through Google and the only people that had the product we wanted was Anchor Bay Tile. Well, we can't possibly be happier with the product. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous... this tile exceeded all our expectations. If you have a tiling project that you want to be classy and timeless this is the product for you.... can't recommend Anchor Bay Tile enough. We will be sending pictures for posting when the job is complete.
Service and delivery comments:
Talk about service/delivery... couldn't have been better. Steve personally delivered it to our winter habitat in Arizona... and talking about Steve, what a great guy, very helpful... If you have a tiling job to do this is the company to deal with.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We were interested in a small 2" x 4" white subway tile. This size was difficult to find. Anchor Bay listed just what we had in mind with their Classic 2 x 4 tile. We ordered on line and the order arrived well packaged and within a few days. The tiles have been installed as a back splash behind our kitchen counter top. They are good quality and look great!
Anchor Bay "excelled" in every way...even sent a personal "Thank You" card for our business.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Posted by Debra, Milwaukee on 25th Jul 2012
This product is so Beautiful!!, I could not stop from walking in and out of my kitchen, gazing at the walls. Not only are these tiles beautiful but the price and shipping is amzaing. I would recommend Achorbay tile products before considering another vendor source.
Great Stuff!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Posted by Busy Mom, Lubbock, TX on 25th Jul 2012
We used this tile as a backsplash in our kitchen. We got quartz countertops installed and this subway tile finished it off perfectly. Our house was built in the 50s so it is traditional but the crisp white really makes the kitchen update look fresh and timeless. Also I forgot to enter the color when I placed my order and they called and mailed a letter to me to get the order right. The customer service is fantastic. Way to go Anchor Bay Tile!
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Beast Wars are over and the Maximals along with Optimus Primal are back on their home planet of Cybertron. As they arrive gone they notice the streets are cleared and the Vehicons are the ones patrolling them. They are following Megatron who had escaped from his captivity. The Maximals learn they have been infected by a virus and only have hours to live. The mysterious Oracle helps the Maximals and they are once again fit to continue the adventure against Megatron.
The Maximals are a perfect blend of organic and technological matter. They will eventually learn to keep an equal balance. The Maximals and Optimus Primal will eventually take on Megatron and the Vehicons to retake their planet if Cybertron. In doing so you will see some of the best action pieces of the Transformers.
This series has been called many things but what comes up most is that it is one of the darker of the Transformer series. You don't have some of the light hearted banter as seen in other series. This is a down to earth straight forward group of episodes. It is also however one of its best.
ShoutFactory is responsible for this DVD set that will be available on September 2, 2014. The quality of the DVD's are exquisite. The sound and visual are quite extraordinary and very enjoyable. The philosophic approach that the series took does bring one to look at the Maximals and Optimus Primal in new ways. You actually get to think that you are getting to know them.
So don't waste any time and put this set into your personal library and watch the 'Transformers, Beast Machines' for many years to come.

We've covered a number of smart plant and soil sensors that can help gardeners get the most out of their efforts. But what if you live in an apartment, dorm or townhouse without a yard or even planter boxes, but still want to grow your own herbs or vegetables? For you, there's Niwa.
Niwa is a self-contained, automatic, connected hydroponic growing environment. All it needs are some seeds, water and nutrient solution. Tell Niwa what you're growing, and it takes care of the rest -- controlling temperature, humidity, nutrient levels, and light cycles to provide the best environment for the specific plants inside.
Not everything can be automated, however. Every so often you'll need to replace the water, add nutrients or clear out dead leaves. Conveniently, all the maintenance is scheduled for you, and Niwa will remind you when it needs attention through the mobile app. Connectivity is WiFi based off the Spark module and the app will also ask you for feedback as the plants mature, so Niwa knows exactly which stage of growth they're in.
Niwa is bigger than many connected appliances, about the size of a small filing cabinet. On the other hand, that's not a lot of space to devote to an indoor garden that practically grows itself. Future models will offer a wider variety of sizes, form factors, and modular designs. Niwa's exterior is clean and minimalist, though true DIYers will be more interested in the Makers Kit, which includes all the interior electronics and hardware but leaves it up to the user to build an enclosure.
Fresh from a successful harvest on Kickstarter, Niwa is taking preorders for delivery in January 2015. Learn more at getniwa.com or by watching the video below.

Planning for your company's and your family's life without you is not something many entrepreneurs want to do. (See "Putting Off for Tomorrow . . . ," [Article link].) But since it's even more important than eating your spinach, we asked Rod Burkley, founding partner of Torrance, Calif., law firm Burkley, Greenberg, Fields & Whitcombe, to describe the essential safeguards he recommends for every business owner:
? Exit planning. "This is a highfalutin name for retirement planning," to Burkley's way of thinking. That means the earlier you get started, the better. But if you haven't gotten started, here's what you need to do (with help from your corporate accountant, lawyer, and personal financial adviser). "Work out a plan for how you'll structure your personal and business finances so that you'll ultimately be able to withdraw from your company and still retain the lifestyle you want," says Burkley. That will involve diversifying assets away from the company and planning how to invest them to guarantee yourself the income stream you want at retirement.
? Estate planning. We all know what this consists of -- at least in theory. Beyond drawing up a will and getting some life insurance, the time to start serious estate planning (with an eye toward tax minimization) is when your company and other assets gain value beyond the $600,000 gift- and estate-tax exclusion for each person. "Then revisit your estate plan anytime there's a significant change in the tax laws, your family situation, or the condition of your business," Burkley advises.
? Succession planning. "You need a team to help you with this -- your accountant, your lawyer, your key managers, even your spouse," urges Burkley. "Plan here for whoever will take over your company after you're gone. That means not just naming names but preparing for how people will begin to ready themselves for new responsibilities."* * *

"So successful are some evangelicals that they're opening up branches like so many new Home Depots or Subways." Sniping from the secular left or the anti-consumerist right? Nope. Just plain reality from Businessweek, which headlines a special issue on evangelical America with a story on evangelicalism as big biz.
"This year," says the mag, "the 16.4 million-member Southern Baptist Convention plans to 'plant' 1,800 new churches using by-the-book niche-marketing tactics. 'We have cowboy churches for people working on ranches, country music churches, even several motorcycle churches aimed at bikers, says… a spokesman for the Southern Baptists." Is that shallow? Democratic? Who cares. The question Businessweek asks is: Is it profitable?
The lead story gets a few facts wrong — claiming, for instance, that Billy Graham never mixed pulpit and politics (martial law, anyone? Billy called for it in the late '50s). But overall, it treats evangelicalism as just another business model, value-free. Will Christian conservatives screech at the moral relativism of this approach, or will they coo over the approval implicit to it?Businessweek aims for the latter, with a series of gushing "online extras" to help you, too, achieve the evangelical business dream — guides to evangelical jargon so you can fit right in, profile of evangelical "entrepeneurs" you can emulate, Wharton MBAs on what's so great about God.

The Herrlinger Family Singers
The Herrlinger Family
We are the Herrlinger's from the winding back-roads of Boyceville, WI. A homeschooling family of nine, we enjoy music that is melodious, joyful, and God-honoring. Ranging in ages from 9-24, the seven children are our greatest source of joy and blessing outside of our relationship with Jesus Christ.
In the Fall of 2006 the Lord provided five instruments for our family, including an acoustic guitar, an acoustic bass guitar, a fiddle, mandolin and banjo. As the months rolled on and we started learning, God started moving in ways beyond our imagination, and began placing in our pathway opportunities to publicly share the gift of music with others.
Since those initial five instruments, we have added another fiddle, a second mandolin, a hammered dulcimer, an accordian, and a resonator guitar, also known as a dobro.
We greatly enjoy playing together as a family, and our deepest heart's desire is that through this love we would be a blessing and encouragement to the body of Christ wherever He places us, and to shine as lights in a lost, dark, and dying world. Our daily goal is the literal fulfillment of Colossians 3:23-24
"If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." 1Peter 4:11

Toward a Theory of Procedural Justice for Juveniles
Tamar R. Birckhead
University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill - School of Law
Buffalo Law Review, Vol. 57, No. 5
UNC Legal Studies Research Paper No. 1463034
Courts and legislatures have long been reluctant to make use of the data, findings, and recommendations generated by other disciplines when determining questions of legal procedure affecting juveniles, particularly when the research has been produced by social scientists. However, given the United States Supreme Court's recent invocation of developmental psychology in Roper v. Simmons, which invalidated the juvenile death penalty, there is reason to believe that such resistance is waning. In 2005 the Simmons Court found, inter alia, that based on research on adolescent development, juveniles are not as culpable as adults and, therefore, cannot be classified among the "worst offenders," deserving of the ultimate penalty. In the 2009–10 term, the Court will take up the arguably related question of the constitutionality of life imprisonment without the possibility for parole for juvenile offenders, making it likely that social psychology will play a role yet again in a Supreme Court decision.
This Article critically examines the ways in which courts have determined whether juveniles should be granted certain procedural rights, and it argues that rather than subscribe to the wooden concept of quid pro quo or utilize a completely subjective balancing approach, courts should allow social science research related to adolescents and conceptions of procedural justice to inform the decision. It analyzes United States Supreme Court case law that has addressed this issue and discusses a recent Kansas Supreme Court case that rejects precedent but fails to shift the juvenile justice paradigm. It then examines empirical studies in the area of procedural justice theory, exploring how children and adolescents develop ties to the law and legal actors and demonstrating a causal relationship between juveniles' perceptions of fairness and their likelihood of reoffending. It argues that social science research provides a useful lens through which to analyze whether specific procedural rights should be granted to juveniles. This Article begins the task of applying procedural justice theory in the context of delinquency court, examining for the first time how the theory could frame the debate over whether juveniles have a constitutional right to a jury trial as well as other procedural protections. It concludes by acknowledging the limits of procedural justice theory as applied to juveniles, and it raises questions and offers caveats for moving ahead.

A leader's job is to make it easy for everyone to excel at their jobs. When a team is working well, the leader is the least important team member.
If you micro-manage, give directions, create countless committees and meetings, or make busy work for your teams, you're not leading.
Stop thinking about your job title and start thinking about leading. Titles do little more than give the impression of self-importance and achievement.
True leaders focus on leading, not job titles. A title doesn't make someone a leader.

Junior Hannah Prigge had an outstanding weekend performance at the Beach Cup in Malibu, Calif. as she won both the 1- and 3- meter dive. On Friday, she led the diving 'Dogs on the 3-meter board scoring a 289.85 with a solid display of diving. On Saturday, in the 1-meter board, Prigge continued her consistent diving streak scoring a 285.10. That was a lifetime best score for this junior diver and was an NCAA Zone qualifying mark. Prigge's two first place finishes contributed 32 points to the team's total score leading the Bulldogs to a third place finish. This was Prigge's second time this season where she won both boards at a meet, the first time coming at San Diego State on Dec. 1, 2012.

The Art District on Santa Fe is home to a number of Denver's most celebrated artists, designers and photographers. A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to sit down with renown Colorado Landscape Photographer John Fielder to discuss his new exhibit opening this weekend. The new exhibit called "John Fielder's Africa Panoramic" opens to the public this Saturday, October 15th and runs through December 31st. Read the full interview below or scroll to the bottom of the page to hear the audio portion.
It's a pleasure speaking with you today, John. Thanks for your time. You have a special new exhibit opening October 15th. What can you tell me about it?
The name of the exhibit is "John Fielder's Africa Panoramic" and I went to Africa finally, for the first time in my life, in May of 2011. Specifically to the countries of Namibia and Zambia and had an extraordinary experience, both personally enjoying Africa but also photographing. I spent three weeks in those two countries.
Why Africa? What drew you there? What new views about travel or photography did you take away from that experience?
Like most Baby Boomers, we all read National Geographic back in the 50s and 60s and saw extraordinary photojournalistic scenes of that place. For me, it was the combination of both the landscape (which is the way I make my living as a Landscape Photographer) but also to see those exotic creatures that I saw Tarzan, Jane and boy (their child) hang out with for so many years. I think for most people, Africa is high on the list [to visit] and it was on mine. And what a treat at age 60 to finally get to go and enjoy it! After 40 years of being a photographer and training my eye, I was ready to finally apply what I'd learned creatively to that extraordinary continent.
Very cool. I've heard that when people visit Africa they just feel "at home" as in back to their "mother" country. People sort of feel at ease because Africa is where we all came from if you believe in Evolution.
Interesting thought—yeah, genetically I think we got our start there and I did feel comfortable mostly because the people were extraordinary in Zambia and Namibia, which are two relatively stable countries politically and economically. The remote safari camps we stayed at had good food and drink and great service, just in a wilderness setting. Like nothing we really have in North America really. We had these small 20 person tent camps with great service and then these extraordinary scenes outside the front of our tent. I felt a connection, for sure, with our origins in Africa and felt very comfortable there because the people were so nice.
So, back to America. How long have you been a part of the Art District and what made you decide Santa Fe Drive was the right place to open your studio?
I first rented space at what was called the "Reed Photo Art Gallery" here at 833 Santa Fe Drive in 2006. I moved from four years in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center to what I thought was a more appropriate place for my work with a better feel for art and a sense of community rather than the mall. I rented space for three years from the Reeds and then purchased the building in 2010, so I've had it for over a year now. I kept "John Fielder's Colorado Gallery" on the south of the 6,000 SF building and changed the "Reed Photo Art Gallery" to the "Denver Photo Art Gallery" to give us the opportunity to display another dozen or so photographers on a regular basis. It also allows us to have new exhibits with new work by other photographers every couple of months and keep the gallery dynamic. I love being here [on Santa Fe Drive]—what a great place.
Over the course of your artistic career, technology has changed quickly- cameras, lenses, and prints have all advanced so much. Where do your interests lie and have you tried to embrace the new stuff or be traditional?
For most of my career I've been a film large format (that is 4x5" format) Landscape Photographer. 4x5" lent itself well to landscape photography and it was the ultimate tool, but after having both a knee and a hip totally replaced with titanium in the last three years, I decided carrying 65 pounds of large format camera equipment was not good for my long-term health. Coincidentally, I began to understand digital photography better and three years later I've grown to like it better than film. There are so many features of digital photography that make it easier and better quality than film photography. About 80 - 90% of what I do today is digital photography. I still use the 4x5" because the inherent detail in that allows me to make prints 8 feet long, which we have here in the gallery and larger in some of my client's locations, but only the 4x5" allows me to get that kind of detail. But digital is catching up and this Africa exhibit will have some panoramic photos up to 8 feet long that I took with a Canon 5D Mark II 21 Megapixel camera. A few sharpening tools and software that softens the edges of the pixels, has allowed me to make remarkable reproductions up to 8 feet long.
Which photographic techniques intrigue you most? I know light and composition are two elements that you always keep in mind, but are there any others?
I am a big believer in getting to know the sensuousness of the place that you visit and photograph. Not just seeing it, but smelling, tasting, touching and hearing it. If a person really appreciates the sensuousness of the people and the place they are visiting, only then can they get a really good photo. That's what I've always done in Colorado. I love sipping on cool mountain waters and listening to aspen trees wrestling in the wind. I'm always touching things—likens on rocks when I'm hiking on a trail - and that makes me appreciate the place and the moment more; it makes me a better photographer. So that's exactly what I did in Africa. I really tired to get to know the place and 40 years of experience really gave me a good foundation to being a productive photographer on my first trip to Africa.
Your website says you're an avid skier. Ever considered snow boarding?
I do backcountry skiing. I use alpine touring or run to Niger in the winter to do my backcountry ski photography. I also use alpine equipment to ski resorts just for fun and exercise. I would love to be a snowboarder - I think I understand the motion and dynamic of snowboarding, but I've got too much to do and don't want to go through that learning curve. Besides, I don't want to be called a "shredder" anyway.
Sunsets or sunrises, which do you prefer?
They are symmetrical for the most part. They both consist of pre or post light, which we call "twilight" before sunrise and after sunset, when the glow of the sky reflects on the landscape. We do long exposures and the light is usually warm and it is a great time to photography that most people don't take advantage of. At sunrise and sunset, you get broad shadows and warm yellow, orange and red light. I have no bias one towards the other—only perhaps at the ends of the day, around sunset, when people and winds have unsettled the earth. There's more dust in the atmosphere, and maybe moisture too in the summer, so sometimes sunsets can be a little more dramatic than sunrises. When the moisture has cleared-out over night, you don't have quite the moisture in cloud in the sky. Basically, I have never slept in for a sunrise or missed a sunset when I'm out photographing. Now, when I've got a margarita in my hand, then sometimes I take a break, just enjoy the memories, and don't feel the need to take photos.
Was there any photo that got away from you? Maybe a scene with an animal or a scene where the weather changed and your vision of it was completely different and you were sorely disappointed?
A thousand photos have gotten away from me, but sometimes you enjoy the memory and not the recorded moment on film. Most people think photography is patience, waiting for the "right light" or "right moment" for hours or days at a time but that's not how I have done things. If I don't like the light or lay of the land where I am, I move on down the trail or road to a better time or place. That's how I've made forty-one books in 31 years! I don't just sit and wait for it to happen, I go find it. And speed matters too, how fast you operate with the camera to capture what can be short-lived moments; sometimes a moment is two seconds, sometimes it's two minutes or two hours.
What famous photographers / artists do you admire? Who inspires you and whose books or prints do you own?
I don't pay attention now to what's going on around me and who else photographs as much, except for a those people that we enjoy inviting to our gallery to exhibit. In the early days, I didn't have the resources or time to go to classes, take workshops or read a lot of books. How I learned photography was by looking at the photography of other people I admired and trying to copy or duplicate them. That taught me both how to use the camera mechanically and how to design and compose. Elliot Porter was my favorite artist. Porter had a way of seeing in a design in particular that he coined "the intimate landscape" - that is the landscape with depth from foreground to background but without the crutch of a horizon in the photos; the interior of nature so to speak. I've always appreciated his wonderful eye. I also appreciate Ansel Adams for setting the example of Environmentalist Photographer (although in black and white whereas I'm a color photographer), demonstrating that you can make pictures, make a living, be an artist and, at the same time, influence people to become advocates for protecting and preserving the miracle of life on earth.
That segues well into my next question: as a Landscape Photographer, I know you have passion for land preservation. What groups or organizations are you involved in that Denverites should know about?
Well, if they are involved in conservation or protecting the natural environment, I am involved with them. I try to spread the wealth and do what I can for any and all kinds of environmental, conservation and non-profit organizations. Whether sharing my photos to show people what's at stake, raise money by donating fine prints for charity auctions, giving books for silent auctions, going on the road and publically speaking on behalf of the issues. So I work with political organizations like the Sierra Club that lobby in Congress to have laws made to protect nature or less political organizations like The Nature Conservancy who work to buy, protect, and preserve habitat by influencing people and governments all around the world. And the myriad organizations in between from land trusts (non-profits that work to get land owners protection). If one cares about such things, it's easy to find organizations to volunteer your time or resources to give money to.
Alright, those are all the questions I had for you. Is there is anything else you'd like to share or want people to know about you or your exhibit
I hope people will come and see what I did in Africa, I'm proud of it. It is a glorious place that needs to be shared and there are lots of issues in Africa- too many people that are not healthy and who are challenged in so many ways. If there is one thing I've learned in 40 years as a Conservation Environmentalist it is: if you don't have healthy, wealthy and happy people, nature doesn't get protected. We have to work so hard to help that continent and the countries that I went to [Namibia and Zambia] find a way to protect their natural resources, environment and wildlife. In the end, tourism is their savior because people have a hard time making a living there otherwise. If Africans poach the wildlife and don't protect the landscape, there's no hope for them being happy, healthy, wealthy and thoughtful people. That's why proceeds from the private opening of the exhibit will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund to help that cause. I hope people come and support what we're doing at here John Fielder's Colorado starting October 15th through December 31st, 2011.

The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) and Gallup held a research briefing on news consumption habits and attitudes in Turkey, along with, for the first time, an in-depth look at the distinctive media consumption habits among Turkey's Kurdish population.
Nationally, Turkish media consumers fall into three basic groups. Analyzing past-week use of different media platforms, about half of media consumers (48.0%) tend to only watch TV news. About one-third (32.0%) mostly watch TV and use the Internet to get news and two in 10 (20.0%) are "super users" who get news from a variety of media platforms. Super-users are more likely to be male, young, highly educated, and to live in urban areas.
While slightly more than seven in 10 adults in Turkey are satisfied with the information the media provide, dissatisfaction with media does not seem to be correlated with use of external sources
This briefing shared data on media usage, a methodological overview and a review of attitudinal data on government and foreign policy.
Speakers included:
• Chris Stewart, Partner, Gallup
• William Bell, Director of Audience Insights, International Broadcasting Bureau
• Rajesh Srinivasan, Regional Research Director – Asia and Middle East, Gallup
