The victory ensured UA of its fourth three-game series win of the season and improved it to 13-4 for the year. EMU dropped its seventh straight game with the loss to fall to 1-8.
Leading 8-1 after eight complete innings, Eastern took advantage of a Kevin Rodland fielding error in the ninth to score five unearned runs with two outs off of reliever Jason Stoffel before closer Daniel Schlereth finally shut the door on the Wildcat victory.
EMU's Aaron Powell started the late rally with a double down the right field line to lead off the ninth. After Derek Lehrman struck out, Jeff Hehr cut UA's advantage to 8-2 with an RBI-double to left to plate Powell from first.
Josh Ivan followed Hehr with a routine grounder to Rodland at third, but the freshman's throw to first pulled Bill Rhinehart off the bag for an inning-extending error and placed runners on first and second with one out. Stoffel then retired pinch hitter Andrew Marshall on strikes for what should have been the third out and the end of the game.
However, the defensive miscue allowed EMU to plate five more runs on an infield single to short by Kyle Rhoad, a two-run single to center by Robert Wendzicki and a two-run triple by Jeff Davis.
The ninth inning fireworks by EMU nearly stole away a fine outing by UA starter Brad Mills (4-1). The senior southpaw scattered five hits over 6 1/3 innings and surrendered just one run while striking out a career-high 10 batters. Mills, who worked out of a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the first and a two-on, one-out spot in the third, earned his team-leading fourth win of the season.
T.J. Steele, who finished the game 3 for 5 with three RBI and two run scored, drove in one run in the sixth with a single and two more in the seventh on his team-leading eighth double of the year.
EMU's George Biddell (0-2) was charged with the loss after giving up five runs on seven hits over five innings.
Arizona stole a season-high six bases in the contest without getting caught ... The six steals extended UA's streak to 18-straight successful stolen base attempts ... Arizona's four pitchers in the contest (Brad Mills, Cory Burns, Jason Stoffel and Daniel Schlereth) teamed up to strike out 15 batters in the game, matching UA's season-high ... Saturday's contest was the first win of the year for Arizona when its opponent recorded more hits (14 to 11) ... Prior to EMU's six runs in the ninth, Arizona had allowed just two runs in the final frame in the first 16 games of the year.

Viral Video: A Global Virtual Choir
The 2011 Virtual Choir video features 2052 performances of 'Sleep' from 1752 singers in 58 countries, individually recorded and uploaded to YouTube between September 2010 and January 2011. More details here: http://virtualchoir.org.

A group of soldiers accused of an attack on an elite commando barracks which the Guinea Bissau government described as an attempted coup were jailed for up five years, a judicial source said on Friday.
The 12 defendants were convicted of crimes against the security of the state and attacking a military unit on October 21 last year after a dawn raid which left seven people dead, including six of the attackers.
Three were jailed for five years by the Bissau regional court while two others were handed terms of three years and a further seven got sentences of six months to a year, the source told AFP.
Another five accused were acquitted because of a lack of evidence by the court, presided over by an army officer assisted by military and civilian judges.
The men had originally been assigned to a court martial but were tried in a mixed court because of a lack of legal experts in the armed forces to deal with the case.
"We are going to appeal to a higher military court because the court was unable to prove the involvement of our clients in an operation to destabilise the government of Guinea-Bissau," defence lawyer Gabriel Lopes Pereira told AFP.
Captain Pansau N'Tchama, the head of a commando unit that is believed to have assassinated president Joao Bernardo Vieira in 2009, was originally accused of being the ringleader and was among the three men given the toughest sentences.
Transitional authorities in Guinea Bissau have accused former colonial power Portugal of instigating the attack in a bid to reinstate former prime minister Carlos Gomes Junior who was ousted in an April 12 coup.
The coup bid caused further turmoil in the west African nation which has suffered chronic instability since independence from Portugal in 1974 due to conflict between the army and state.
No president has ever completed a full term in office.
Coups, counter-coups and regular assassinations have also made the unstable nation an attractive destination for South American druglords seeking a hub to move cocaine into Europe.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Full-line drycleaning supplier EJ Thomas has consolidated its warehousing operations, the company reports.
In spring 2013, the distributor moved its Indianapolis operation into a new 35,000-square-foot facility in Fairfield, Ohio, which also serves the company's Cincinnati and Louisville markets.
Company President Randy Zimmerman explains that customers see improved service and have a larger variety of products to serve them from the combined warehouse.
"By combining the two warehouses, we are better able to concentrate our resources in our inventory as well as delivery and customer service functions," Zimmerman says. "It allows us to stock a much wider variety of products, while simultaneously reducing back orders and other operational issues. Additionally, EJ Thomas continues to deliver into the Indianapolis area daily."

LAREDO, TEXAS (KGNS) -- Summer vacation is a time when many kids spend more time outside, and the possibly of dog bites is something the minds of health department workers.
The Health Department's director says in the last two years, Laredo has seen an average of more dog bites per day.
He attributes that to pet owners letting their dogs out in the street and walking them without leashes.
A local veterinarian says children can be especially vulnerable because they tend to excite dogs.
Veterinarian Sandra Leyendecker says parents should help children understand that dogs can be territorial.
Texas is the fourth highest state for dog bites, according to data from State Farm Insurance.

Wine Spectator 95 Points
This is gorgeously vibrant and grapey, with good cut to the luscious dark fruit and cedar flavors that are flanked by zesty acidity and tannins. A touch brooding midpalate, with a minerally rush and a finish of slate and iron. Best from 2016 through 2036. 7,000 cases made.-KM
Wine Enthusiast 95 Points
A classic Fonseca, rich and powerful, with just an extra edge of weight from the vintage. It has a dry character, a tannic edge that gives great promise, but the open-hearted fruit is all there. A wonderfully intense wine for aging.

Royal Duchess Satin Strapless gown with sweetheart neckline, asymmetrically ruched bodice and bustled skirt. Silver jeweled appliqué accents, empire and side sash.
This dress is absolutely stunning and you will hear about it all night, and long after the wedding is over! I definitely did at my wedding. The detail is exquisite. Professionally cleaned and preserved in NY. I purchased it in May 2010 for my wedding in March 2011 from House of Botticelli in Bronxville, NY. I love love love this dress! It is sexy, sophisticated, and makes you feel like a princess. Classy and elegant with a little bit of sass. I received SO many compliments on this dress at my wedding! The dress was also worn by Bethenny Frankel of Real Housewives of NY at her wedding earlier this year.
I had the dress professionally cleaned and preserved, so it is ready to find a new home with a new bride-to-be who I know will love it as much as I did.
The dress is a size 10, and I did have minor alterations, mainly taken in a bit at the waist and hemming it a touch shorter. But I am 5'8″ without shoes, so it is still plenty long for those who are worried that it may be too short! I'd say the dress is now in between the size 8 and the size 10 of that dress.
Contact me and I'll email you additional pictures of the dress from my wedding!

Frisco Bar, Frisco, TX
4851 Legacy Drive
Frisco, TX 75034
United States of America
Phone: (972) 712-0808
Price for meal: $14 incl. tips and tax
Date of review: Feb 17th, 2012
Submitted by Doc
Frisco Bar is, not surprisingly, a bar in Frisco. They advertise that they serve the "Best" Burgers. I am not sure what they mean by the "Best" but I was willing to give it a try.
The place was definitely more a bar than a restaurant. There were quite a few high tables and a few more traditional restaurant tables and booths.
I ordered the Frisco Burger with cheese and Bacon. Since we were two for lunch, we ordered one with fries and one with chips. My burger was ordered medium rare.
The wait was probably 10 minutes or so and the burgers looked really good. When a patty is shaped more round than flat (see image) that is usually a good sign that the chef knows what he or she is doing.
The burger was cooked perfectly medium rare and this kind of meat (sirloin) should not bee cooked more than that in my opinion. The meat was seasoned with more than just salt and it was absolutely excellent. It had a beefy flavor and was super juicy. The bacon was also very tasty and not the bland bacon you get so many places. Very good!
The fries were steak fries (large) and they were made from frozen but cooked crisp and golden. The chips were regular chips from a bag. Nothing homemade here either.
I really recommend Frisco Bar for their burgers. They are solid burgers and the taste is great!

ZF-6840: Loading Zend_Application Environment Name out of a Configuration INI
It would be really handy if there would be no need to somehow hard code the environment into any PHP File, and load it instead out of a configuration.ini passed to Zend_Application. This way there would be no hardcoded environment configuration somewhere in the SCM-Repository, if your configuration.ini is not in the repo.
Short example: == configuration.ini == [Application] enviroment=production [site] db.adapter = PDO_MYSQL db.params.dbname = "test" db.params.username = "test" db.params.password = "test" db.params.hostname = "test" debug = 1 [production : site] db.params.dbname = "production" debug = 0
== index.php == $application = new Zend_Application('path/to/configuration.ini'); $application->bootstrap(); $application->run();
A key part of the design of Zend_Application was that it be environment aware. This is to enforce a best practice of segregating configuration data based on the environment.
While I see your point about wanting the ability to simply pass in an array of data, or a configuration file with no "environment" definitions, this goes against the design of the component. You can achieve similar effects, however, by using your own "environment" strings (pointing to a discrete section of the configuration or passing in an array of options (in which case the environment will be ignored).

In honor of Mother"s day, I thought I'd tell you about a short video I watched, captured by a visitor to the Kruger National Park, South Africa. A tiny baby elephant has fallen into a round pool of water and can't get out. He places his front legs on the side of the pool and tries to haul himself up but the sides are too steep and his feet slide down the slippery edge. When he feels he's out of options, he just stands there, his head down.
Enter Mom to the rescue. She bends her massive head reassuring him with the touch of her trunk, then stands up and circles around debating which way to do this. Finally, she moves to the edge of the pool, bends down and pushes him gently aside so she can climb in. With amazing care, she lands in the pool beside him and makes her first attempt to bush her baby out. Unsuccessful, she turns him around to a different vantage point . She moves up behind him, wedges his rear-end between two lethal tusks and literally lifts him up out of the water. But the sandy bank is too slippery and he slithers back into the water.
Next she moves him further round the pool and this time with much pushing and shoving he walks out the pool. Trouble is, now she can't get out. She searches for a good place to get out. The slippery sand has no traction. She doesn't panic. Finally she kneels on a section of ground and with great effort, pulls herself out. Off she lumbers to her little guy, trunk outstretched to see if he's alright. He's okay. She's okay. Together they walk away.
When all else fails call Mom. Tell your Mom you love her this Mother's day. I know I will.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 23 August 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18400823-TC-JAC-01; CL 12: 229-232
Chelsea, 23 Augt, 1840—
My dear Brother,
A Letter was promised from me today; and shall now get itself despatched. I did not calculate that the Sunday would intervene; that there could be no Letter for you "the day after tomorrow": but you will know what is what. To my Mother I made a similar engagement; which I wish she may be able to interpret as well.
My Lecture was finished yesterday; tho' not till after the toughest fight. People interrupted me, my hand was out, all went awry; I had nothing for it but to say and swear that it should and must be done: so the tea was up before I would stir from the spot; it was towards sunset when I first got out into the air, with the feeling of a finished man. Finished, you will say, in more than one sense! Eviting [shunning] crowds and highways, I went along Battersea Bridge, and thence by a wondrous path, across cowfields, mud-ditches, river-embankments, over a waste expanse of what attempted to pass for country,—wondrous enough in the darkening dusk, especially as I had never been there before, and the very road was uncertain! I had left my watch and purse; I had a good stick in my hand. Boat-people sat drinking about the Red House;1 Steamers snorting about the river, each with a lantern at their nose; old women sat in strange old cottages, trimming their evening fire; bewildered-looking mysterious coke-furnaces (with a very bad smell) glowed, at one place, I knew not why; Windmills stood silent; blackguards, whores and miscellanei sauntered, harmless all; Chelsea lights burnt many-hued bright, over water, in the distance,—under the great Sky of silver, under the great still Twilight: so I wandered, full of thoughts, or of things that I could not think. I mean to revisit the place; but in daylight. The days now are so hot and bright, one cannot walk well till towards evening. I go in Steamers and omnibuses; I have the lightest dress in the world, a coat of female serge or something of the sort, which hardly weighs two pounds, and yet being bright black passes for a coat; nankeen trowsers without drawers; all made at Thornhill, on easy terms every way. With a light heart and a thin pair of breeches, a man may go far!
Before the steam fall again, which I have had such work in getting up, I mean to proceed straightway with the last of these sorrowful Lectures.2 They will be off my hand; I shall have that satisfaction. For the rest, nothing I have ever written pleases me so ill. They have nothing new, nothing that to me is not old; the style of them requires to be low-pitched, as like talk as possible;—the whole business seems to me wearisome triviality, wearisome yet toilsome to produce, which I could like to throw into the fire! Some ten days more will get me to the end of it. That is the best. Ah me, I sometimes feel as if I had lost the art of writing altogether; as if I were a dumb man, whose thought could not so much as utter itself on Paper now, not to speak of utterance by Action! I do lead a most self-secluded, entirely lonesome existence. "How is each so lonely in the wide grave of the All!" says Richter.3— — Jane comes, here, to take me out to walk. Adieu!
7. p.m.— After an interval of four hours or more, having now despatched Dinner and Tea, I resume. We went to Allan Cunningham's, to pay a long-delayed visit; found Allan in,—rather better now than when you saw him last. He looked rosy enough (perhaps too rosy); was quieter than usual, and in his conversation there seemed a kind of halt, not defect of utterance, but defect of ideas.— We have not seen Darley for long: he was out of health last time when here; in as bad spirits as ever. The other night I went up to Mill: he was sitting over Book, and office-paper, a worn-looking man; he twitched excessively and twinkled all the time I was there; very kind nevertheless: he told me it was not Macaulay that had reviewed me, which I was glad to hear, but a certain Herman Merivale, a writing Barrister, of common Philister4 qualities whom I remember meeting years ago, and discerning the Philistriosity of. I have heard no other speak of the critique. Hat Nichts zu bedeuten [It's of no importance].
Did I mention that my Horse went actually away almost a fortnight ago? W. Marshall would not accept it as a present; undertook, however, to sell it: James Fraser, who had once talked of buying, was supplied in the interim: whereupon I rode the Citoyenne up to Marshall's place, and left her there to his tender mercies. It struck me that I could not well accept a horse to sell from the Marshall's; but that, in any case, it would be well they knew what cash was got for it, accept or not! We shall see what results. I do not find myself better in health for disuse of riding; but also hardly or not at all worse; and it saves me a great deal of expense and constraint. Constraint; for I felt a kind of consciencious [sic] obligation to ride daily.
The Town is altogether empty for us; and even singularly empty to the mere walker on the streets: hot withal as an oven; I seldom look near it. Darwin still lingers; the last to go, the first to return. Miss Fergus, Elizabeth Pepoli's Sister5 was here lately for ten days; at her Sister's, that is. We went, one evening last week, to her closing soiree. Immense heaps of Tea-cake and waxlights; a Piano, and Italian men in moustachios,—men or chimeras. None but Mazzini seemed to have much reality: they sang and fiddled. Lady Morgan entered with an enormous green fan, to save her eyes, which indeed stand awry in her head, and look very wild;—a most chimerical-looking little woman she too. Most Irish: do you remember Daft Sally?6 Can you figure her half a foot shorter, dressed in the extremity of mode, green fan advanced,—and persuaded that she is a "woman of genius"? I did not introduce myself to her. A certain withered Pea-bloom Lady Stepney7 insisted on being introduced to me; as weak a "distinguished female" as I have ever had to talk with in this world. We were home before eleven.
Light is failing me, dear Jack. I know [not] what to say about that of coming to Scotland, coming to Oban. I fear the latter is too far west! A man8 invites me to come and see him in Dublin Castle: Il n'y a pas de moyen [The means are lacking]. The Sterlings are gone to Ryde; Jane declined to go with them. The Wilsons are at Malvern.— I must have my Lecture done, and then. Enough, dear Brother. Paper and Lights are both literally done.
Yours ever truly, /
T. Carlyle—

She has sold millions of books and can cause a run on ingredients. Now 'Saint Delia' says she is giving up going on television.
06:15, UK, Wednesday 06 February 2013
Delia Smith has called time on her television career, claiming programme makers are more interested in entertainment than education.
Smith, who first appeared on TV more than 40 years ago and has sold millions of cookbooks, will continue teaching people to cook using online lessons.
She told The Daily Telegraph: "This is the future for me and the population.
"It's miles ahead. If you do a TV programme now, it's got to entertain.
"When I started, there was further education in the BBC - now you have to entertain. You have someone telling me I haven't got time to show this or I haven't got time to show that."
The 71-year-old said she had turned down a recent approach from the BBC - a refusal which marked the end of "Delia on the telly".
Her lengthy career saw her acquire the nickname "Saint Delia" for her reliable and easy-to-follow recipes.
Her cookery books - including Delia Smith's Complete Cookery Course and How To Cheat At Cooking - have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
Such is her influence that supermarket bosses talk of "the Delia effect", when sales of products featured on her shows go through the roof.
She is credited with causing a national cranberry shortage in 1995 and transformed the fortunes of a small Lancashire firm when she described their omelette pan as a "little gem", prompting sales to leap by thousands in the space of a few months.
A staunch Norwich City fan - and one of the club's directors - she attracted attention during the half-time break of a home match against Manchester City in February 2005.
At the time Norwich were fighting an ultimately unsuccessful battle against relegation from the Premier League.
In an attempt to rally the crowd, she grabbed the microphone from the club announcer on the pitch and said: "A message for the best football supporters in the world: we need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let's be 'avin' you! Come on!".
Norwich lost the match 3-2. Smith denied suggestions in the media that she had been drunk.

There are numerous essentials needed to complete the perfect manicure whether you're DIY, a cosmetology student, or a beauty professional. Quality mani supplies can be found at various stores and online such as this site. Here are the basic items you will need:
1. A dedicated mani case where you can keep your supplies organized, and separate from other things.
-A cosmetic bag such as this one would be great.
2. Cotton balls/swaps
-The lint free cosmetic wipes are the best. You can protect your own mani if removing polish from your toes or someone else's.
3. Cuticle pushers/cuticle nippers/cuticle eraser
-The wooden pushers are the cheapest however the stainless steel pushers can remove more dead skin and they can be sanitized. The wooden cuticle pushers (or orangewood sticks are disposable). However if you're only doing your own nails, then you can reuse the orange wood stick.
4. Cuticle Oil
-Good cuticle oil moisturizes the skin and helps rough skin become smooth.
5. Base/Top Coats
-Depending on the nail type, you want to choose a base coat that may address nail issues such as hardener, strengthener, brittle, peeling nails, etc. [insert pics of these]
Dry fast top coats are the best because you don't have to wait. Seche Vite is one of my favorites and it can be purchased here.
6. Nail Polish Remover
-Pure Acetone removes polish quickly and is great for removal of glitter polishes, however, it can be very drying to the nails.
-Try using a gentle polish remover that has moisturizing/nourishing ingredients such as Essie, SuperNail, SpaRitual, and/or Zoya.
7. Nail file
-Crystal nail files are perfect for natural nails. They stop nails from breaking and splitting.
240 grit files are good for natural nails because they allow for filing back and forth (like crystal nail files) and they also allow lightly buffing on top of the natural nails.
8. Nail Clippers
-Nail files can work for taking down the length of nails, however, nail clippers can take the length of nails down quicker
If you're into nail art, then extra things to add to your kit would be:
- Rhinestone Wheel
- Glitter
- Dotting Tool (or toothpicks)
- Marbelizing Tool
- Nail Art Brushes

Find an independent contractor in the Area ().
As cold as it gets outside, you'll heat up the productivity indoors. Ruud has the most comprehensive, feature-loaded lineup in the heating industry. Our super-efficient technology provides savings on both gas and electricity. Whatever Ruud heating option you choose, you can depend on energy-saving, cost-effective, reliable performance for years to come.
Are some heat pumps better than others?
What should I know about SEER and HSPF?
Are exterior features important?
What kind of coils should I look for?
Are some brands quieter than others?
What should I look for in a contractor?
Are Some Heat Pumps Better Than Others?
Naturally, energy efficiency is important. But when making your selection, remember low operating costs are little comfort if service and repair bills are high. Don't be sold on energy efficiency alone.
Ruud is the only manufacturer to install the Copeland® Compliant Scroll® Compressor, the industry best, in its entire residential heat pump line.
Back to the top
What Should I Know About SEER and HSPE?
The Department of Energy requires all air-conditioning and heating equipment manufacturers to evaluate and rate the efficiency of their equipment on a seasonal basis. These ratings are known as the SEER or, Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating, for air conditioners, and the HSPF or, Heating Seasonal Performance Factor, for heating equipment.
Heat pumps use both numbers. The higher the SEER or HSPF rating, the more efficient the heat pump. High-efficiency units cost more. But since operating costs are lower, the payback period may be shorter than you realize. A high SEER/HSPF heat pump also can add value to your home which is important to today's energy-conscious home buyers.
Back to the top
Are Exterior Features Important?
Absolutely. Look for features such as a louvered, galvanized steel cabinet to protect the condensing unit from outdoor hazards. And make sure the cabinet is powder-painted with a high-quality enamel for improved durability and appearance.
Back to the top
What Kind of Coils Should I Look For?
Look for copper tubing in the evaporator and condensing coil. Copper tubing is a good conductor of heat and is virtually immune to corrosion. And unlike fragile aluminum tubing, copper tubing is relatively simple to repair in the field.
Back to the top
Are Some Brands Quieter Than Others?
With some units, the outdoor fan can be a bothersome source of noise. Ruud units have a grille design that minimizes air restriction which allows the fan to operate more quietly. Also, the fan is mounted on the underside of the grille. This protects it from the elements and it directs airflow upward, away from plants and shrubbery.
Back to the top
What Should I Look for in a contractor?
Reliability. Look for a contractor you see in your community. You want one who's close by to provide you faster, more convenient service.
He should offer a recognized name brand. And he should have a well-stocked inventory of replacement parts. You wouldn't want to sit out a mid-summer heat wave waiting for a simple repair!
One way to be sure you'll get good service is to contact a neighborhood Ruud contractor.
Your local Ruud contractor is knowledgeable, reliable, and as good as any you'll find in the business. Give him a call or click here to find a contractor near you.

Karyn deKramer
Within luminous watercolor washes and strokes of the brush, the viewer can find the fascination and reverence Karyn has for wildlife and nature. Born in Idaho with abundant access to wilderness and wildlife, Karyn has spent much of her life exploring the great outdoors. Her artistic style brings to light the complexities of the natural world –the tangle of the web of life. Expressive poses, dramatic mood and a textural sense of fur and feather capture the heart and soul of her subjects. She enjoys bringing to light the beauty and significance of even the most common, overlooked creatures. Her paintings express a quiet stillness and the peace of an unobtrusive observer.
Karyn earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Boise State University with emphasis in watercolor. Her art has been juried into local shows - at times winning awards. In 2012 Karyn earned signature membership to the Idaho Watercolor Society and Artists for Conservation (an international organization of nature artists dedicated to conservation www.artistsforconservation.org) Her work has been selected in the America's Parks Art Exhibit of 2013. She has lead children's painting projects for The Peregrine Fund's Vulture Awareness Day. The Idaho Bird Observatory sought her talent to create a painting of common migrating songbirds for use as a printed mural and teaching aide.

Small Solar-Powered House Sits Amicably Amidst Olive Groves in Sonoma
Start Slideshow
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioTwo scientists bought a piece of property in Sonoma so that they could become more involved with the locavore movement. Since they were interested in olives, olive oil, beekeeping, honey and gardening, the couple set out to build the perfect retreatto facilitate their agricultural projects. Cooper Joseph Studio helped them design a stunning small residence on the 25 acre parcel that would enable them to live lightly on the land. Powered by an on-site solar system, the home is built to take advantage of the climate and the site and is surrounded by an olive orchard.1
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioWhen the couple bought the property, the original home was dilapidated and there was no infrastructure, so utility lines had to be buried and brought to the home site.2
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioThe new home is sited at the top of a hill overlooking the olive groves, built into the hillside to take advantage of the views.3
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioThe 850 sq ft house is built in three levels, with the entrance and bedroom on the top floor, kitchen in the middle and a large living room on the bottom.4
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioAmply-sized terraces surround the home providing extra outdoor living space to supplement the very modestly sized home.5
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioSonoma and surrounding regions are known for dramatic weather and can experience droughts, floods, mudslides, scorching temperatures and even frosts.6
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioThe home was designed and built with all of these extremes conditions in mind so as to provide a comfortable environment in an energy efficient way.7
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioSimple and natural materials were chosen for the exterior and interior and windows were specifically placed to pull light inside, while minimizing solar heat gain.8
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioViews from the inside look out over the newly planted olive orchards and the owners also keep bees for honey and have a large garden.9
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioNot too far away from the house is a 930 sq ft solar field, which produces 21,578 kWh/year, often more than the home needs.10
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioElevated 10 feet off the ground, the solar system acts as a shade canopy for an agricultural work shed located underneath it.11
- Small House-Cooper Joseph StudioXeriscaping around the house reduce water usage and help prevent soil erosion. Lavender was used throughout the landscaping to provide food for the owner's bees.12

Easter dessert table (15 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This Easter I was inspired to create an Easter table for our family based on Mandy Sutcliffe's characters "Belle & Boo". I purchased Mandy's book "Bubbles Before Bed to do book" especially for Easter and was so in love with all the gorgeous drawings and activities that I knew a Belle & Boo Easter table would be a hit with my daughters. The Easter table is actually quite simple with lots of crafty items that any crafter can replicate, all you need to do is go through what you already have in your cupboards and perhaps look at your old furniture in a brand new light. I re-used our old drawer unit (I used it for my nieces bird party last December and it now sits in my eldest daughter's bedroom) and gave it a green coat (Dulux celery) of acrylic paint followed by crackle medium to make it look more vintagy. Most of the items I used on the dessert table was recycled from previous parties (obviously not the food lol)

My husband and I have taken a lot of walks together. We've walked the canyons of Utah and the valleys of East Africa, the mountains of Argentina and the paths of Central Park. My walk down the aisle to marry him was the happiest. But throughout his eight years of service for the United States Army Special Forces, he has also taken a lot of walks without me.
He has patrolled, jumped, led, and followed. He walks away from me, and onto those planes with one thing in mind: to make the world a little bit safer for all of us. He does it not out of ego, but out of profound humility. As the poet Richard Watson Gilder wrote, "Better than honor and glory and history's iron pen, / Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men." My husband has come home safely to me each time. And each time I catch that first glimpse of him on the airstrip when he returns, I'm not walking—I'm sprinting. Those homecomings, for those of us lucky enough to experience them, are scenes of manic happiness, of promises made and kept. But we all take silent note of the families who aren't there.
After the initial euphoria of homecoming, after the rucks are unloaded and the award ceremonies concluded, the weeks and months that follow can be difficult. The rocky reality of what has transpired rubs like a blister and hardens like a scar. Occasionally, our gratitude for my husband's safety casts a shadow that feels too much like guilt. Days pass when the war is not mentioned on the news.
On this Veteran's Day, I'll be watching the parade in New York City. My husband won't be with me; he's on domestic active orders. But his mother and I will feel privileged to join a very special group of spectators: recipients and supporters of the Green Beret Foundation. Our family found GBF through our Special Forces community, after an especially horrific attack that left many injured, and my husband's team medic dead. We asked frantic questions: "What can we do?" "What do they need?" "How can we help?" And a respected officer pointed us toward the Green Beret Foundation. Since then, through GBF, we work to ease the burden and to smooth the path for our Special Forces soldiers and their families.
The Green Beret Foundation provides unconventional resources to facilitate the special needs of our wounded, ill and injured. It imparts unique support to the Special Forces community in order to strengthen readiness and uphold Green Beret traditions and values. Help can take many forms: yoga and acupuncture; support groups; adaptive equipment for homes of soldiers dealing with injuries; something to read in the hospital; scholarships to deserving children. GBF is the neighbor who drops off a homemade dinner, multiplied by thousands. They are our answer to the nagging but incredibly important question: "What can we do?"
My husband and many of his fellow soldiers will cringe at the word "hero." But we are all lucky that there are heroes willing to answer the call of our country. This is not the journey I ever dreamt I'd be on, but I learn with every step, and I am grateful to be walking this road with him and with so many other military families. This Veteran's Day, we invite others to action as well.

Non-Profit Poultry Plant Opens in Marion (click link for audio)
The first non-profit meat processing plant in the country has opened in Western North Carolina. The Foothills Pilot Plant is designed to help small farmers and impact the local food movement. The site can handle a thousand birds per day with a purpose of putting more money in the pockets of the farmers. For the roughly 35 game farmers in this region, the site offers a nearby processing plant and that means savings on gas and time. The plant can also provide the coveted USDA stamp of inspection – allowing meat to be sold to supermarkets and across state lines. The site will help farmers grow their businesses and provide consumers with more cage-free local meat. The money to build the facility came from the Golden LEAF Foundation, the state's Rural Economic Development Center and the Appalachian regional commission.
Food processing center gives businesses a chance to grow
Burlington Time-News
The Piedmont Food and Agricultural Processing Center (PFAP) opened in October 2011, thanks in part to a grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation. The purpose of the center is to provide a shared-use food business facility for farmers and food entrepreneurs to lease commercial kitchen space and vegetable or fruit processing facilities by the hour to produce added-value food products for commercial distribution. Freezer and refrigerated space, as well as entrepreneur offices, are also available for lease. There are currently 10 clients from Alamance, Durham, Chatham and Orange counties using PFAP.
Grant would help turn empty plant space into career center
McDowell News
Recently local leaders from McDowell County were shown how the Universal Bedroom Furniture plant could be transformed into a "Career Pathways Skill Center" providing much needed education and job opportunities. McDowell County officials are hoping to get more than $2 million in Golden LEAF Foundation Community Assistance Initiative money to help with the project. At a Jan. 30 Community Assistance Initiative community forum, the group got feedback from Golden LEAF President Dan Gerlach regarding several local projects being considered. The group of local leaders then chose the renovation of the old Universal Bedroom Furniture plant as the county's project for Golden LEAF's Community Assistance Initiative funding opportunity, which would provide more space for McDowell Technical Community College, which is landlocked.
Gerlach dissects proposals
Washington Daily News
At a Feb. 23 meeting, Dan Gerlach, Golden LEAF President, reviewed 14 submitted grant proposals through the Golden LEAF Community Assistance Initiative in Beaufort County. Those in attendance were there to find out how closely their proposals fit with the guidelines for the potential $2 million Golden LEAF funding. Organizations were given one week to augment their proposals and resubmit them for review by a committee nominated at the end of the meeting. The committee will ultimately whittle down $4.5 million to roughly $2 million in project proposals to be submitted to the Golden LEAF Foundation's Board of Directors. The review committee is slated to meet March 19 and March 20 with Golden LEAF officers.

London Wasps centre Elliot Daly expects tough test at Gloucester
08:40 21 September 2012
EMPICS Sport
London Wasps centre Elliot Daly is expecting a difficult game against Gloucester at Kingsholm on Saturday.
The Adams Park based side broke their duck after beating London Irish last weekend and the youngster admitted that his side have a good feeling about the trip.
"I think Kingsholm is a hard place to go but this year, and last year, we had that mentality that we want to go out and win every game," he said.
"This year we have a good feeling about it."
After last season's struggles, the 19-year-old just wants to be looking upwards come the business end of the season.
"We don't want to be looking behind us," he explained. "Last year we got caught by people below us."
"We thought we played well in the first 60 minutes against Quins.
"We knew we had the 80 minute performance in us.
"It's important to win all your home games as then you can go away and get some wins on the road."
The last campaign was Daly's debut season as a regular the first XV and he sees no difference to how he will play this time around.
"I learnt a lot very quickly," he added. "I've treated it as the same this year.
"I just need to keep my 13 shirt for as long as possible.
"With the experience of Stephen Jones you learn a lot."
Daly has been working a lot with Andrea Masi and he revealed that the pair have a very close relationship.
"He talks to you and goes out with you to help you with training," he revealed. "Usually we have a heart to heart on a Monday morning after the game and see how we cooperated together.
"It's nothing in particular. We make sure that we're connected."

The latest production by Artistic Director Nicole Paiement's Opera Parallèle, given its first performance last night at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Lam Research Theater, takes her company's reputation for out-of-the-box thinking to a new level that transcends even the vaguest suggestion of a traditional box. On the surface the program involved the presentation of two relatively short pieces from the early twentieth century, the 1927 Mahagonny-Songpiel by Kurt Weill, setting poems by Bertolt Brecht, and Francis Poulenc's 1947 two-act opera Les mamelles de Tirésias, based on a play of the same name written in 1903 by Guillaume Apollinaire. However, Resident Stage Director Brian Staufenbiel chose to conceive the production as an uninterrupted evening unfolding an "über-narrative" of "a play within a journey."
The backstory for this integrating vision involves a dystopian future world in which all natural resources have been depleted and water has become the most valuable commodity. Mahagonny-Songpiel, a cantata of six songs to Brecht texts with instrumental interludes, is performed by a traveling theater troupe working out of a boat on a trailer (no longer capable of sailing on water). They use it to draw an audience for whom they then perform Les mamelles de Tirésias. At the end of the show, they load up the boat and move on to the next potential audience against a reprise of Weill's music.
This was an ambitious undertaking; and, for the most part, the concept of a unified theater piece succeeded. Considering how radically different these two works are in both musical and literary style, that is saying quite a lot. Much of the success can be attributed to the quality of the musical resources. Working with a chamber orchestra (which required using a reorchestration of Poulenc's score prepared by Bart Visman in 2001), Paiement summoned up all of the visceral gritty rhetoric Weill engaged to reinforce the spirit of Brecht's words and then pivoted into the lighthearted Gallic sassiness of Poulenc's interpretation of Apollinaire's provocative satire. These instrumental resources were perfectly balanced against a cast of nine high-quality vocalists, outstanding in each of their respective ranges, only six of which participated in both pieces.
Nevertheless, on the dramatic front the overall vision necessitated departing from the original intentions of the text. Both Apollinaire and Brecht were motivated to follow the late nineteenth-century French poets who rallied behind the motto "Épater la bourgeoisie," which Brecht probably would have expressed in the German version of "stick it to the middle class." However, while Apollinaire pursued the path of a subtle but sharply pointed wit, Brecht preferred sledge-hammer agitprop. His original staging for Mahagonny-Songpiel was a boxing ring, because the Mahagonny of his poems was an anti-Utopia in which nothing was certain expect that brute force reigned over all. This world of violent thugs did not establish a particularly conducive context for the presentation of a genre-bending comedy in which the battle of the sexes is resolved with a commitment to make lots of children. (40,050 are created over the course of Poulenc's opera, sung vigorously by thirteen members of the San Francisco Girls Chorus.)
However, if the "über-narrative" never quite fit the vision, it was still never needlessly distracting. The musical interpretation of Brecht's poems was (with every intention of shameless punning) as curt and vile as one could have wished it to be, while the Poulenc was still a delightful romp, veering wildly from one absurdity to another with agile abandon. Two more opportunities (tonight and tomorrow afternoon) remain in which to enjoy some of the most imaginative efforts of both Weill and Poulenc; and those opportunities definitely should not be overlooked.
