On March 1 and 2, 2014 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., thirty-nine wineries will together produce the celebrated Amador Vintner's Association Behind the Cellar Door wine tasting event. Once the grapes are harvested and wines are made and set to age in the cellars, the region comes alive with visitors out to celebrate what's behind those cellar doors.
A big component of this post-harvest fete will be interactive educational seminars. Along with the usual broad variety of wine tasting and scrumptious bites, nibbles and bowls of well-paired food, there will be a long list of seminars taking place over the two day event. Guests will be able to blend, smell, taste and learn about Amador's vine character from skilled winemakers tending to on-hands education, wine making and sampling fun.

We try to live a dream
Of peace and harmony
Relax and touch my skin
But close your eyes
Come here, don't walk away
Find yourself and stay
Trust me all night and day
You've got the key
You can reach my heart
And we fly away, touch me
I will break apart, you and me
We will be free, touch me
Come look into my soul
There is no chance to hide
The beauty of the end
Can you understand?
Don't try to hide your greed
And you will find much more
No life behind the wall
After the war
You can reach my heart
And we fly away, touch me
I will break apart, you and me
We will be free, touch me
Touch me
Touch me

When Arvilla Holden promises her husband that she'll cremate him and scatter his ashes, she doesn't expect her promise to be called so soon. Neither does she expect a high-stakes fight with her step-daughter Francine, a Santa Barbara socialite determined to give him a proper burial. Convinced that she has no choice but to surrender the ashes to Francine, Arvilla sets off on a journey from Pocatello, Idaho, to Santa Barbara. Her friends, life-of-the-party Margene and goody-two-shoes Carol, volunteer to go with her for moral support. Expecting to fly, they're surprised when Arvilla picks them up in her '66 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, and shocked when she cruises serenely past the airport and hijacks them on a reluctant road trip that becomes the ride of their lives.

Government funding education offers a student the opportunity to learn in an environment that is funded by the government. There are 3 different sources that make up government funding education: federal, state and local.
The federal government mandates that each state must provide government funded education to each student enrolled in school. According to a statement made by United States President Thomas Jefferson, "education should be available to both rich and poor children at the expense of the government. " The state sets up rules and regulations to be followed by each school to ensure that a student's educational needs are met in and outside the classroom whether through academics and sports activities. Local governments usually foot the bill in government funding education through property taxes. The idea of paying property taxes to support government funding education has been around for years but recently is being challenged due to a change in an individual's or a family's economic status and the ability to afford the high taxes to pay for government funding education.
When it comes to government funding education, the issue of equality has always been a touchy subject. The issue of equality has been raised throughout many court systems. From the Brown v Board of Education ruling in 1954 on "separate but equal schools for African Americans" is not evidence of equality to numerous lawsuits in 2000 from poverty school districts charging that the students are not receiving their fair share of education, the debate in equality in educating students will always be on the minds of every citizen. Many towns react to the fact there is no equality when it comes to paying for public education funding and that the state should intervene when it becomes necessary. Sometimes, taxpayers are footing the same bill for schools that are on both sides of the educational spectrum-one economically sound and one financially distressed school. Unfortunately, there has been no development on how to separate the need for public education funding for different performing schools.
The challenge in government funding education is to make sure that all 3 levels of government are focusing on one primary goal. The goal is to ensure a quality education for every student. On the federal level, the government must evaluate the programs that are being taught and determine which programs should continue to receive the benefit of government funding education. On the state level, the government must take the necessary steps to see if schools are performing according to state standards and if not should make recommendations or change programs to get the school operating at a federal mandated level. On the local level, elected officials should work with taxpayers to find alternate sources to support public education funding without causing economic hardship for families.

AVON — There were LeBron James jerseys, LeBron James banners and even several petitions aimed at keeping LeBron James in Cleveland. The only thing that was missing during the Lake Erie Crushers' 5-4 loss in 12 innings over the Florence Freedom on Wednesday night was … LeBron James.
While the high-profile Cavaliers star wasn't in attendance, plenty of local sports fans were and they enjoyed the festivities that were aimed at showing James how much he means to the Cleveland sports scene.
Just hours before James was able to begin negotiating with NBA teams, the Crushers gave away James-themed T-shirts, auctioned off game-worn James-themed jerseys and had a huge James-themed promotion they called "Keep LBJ in the C-L-E."
"I think it's all pretty cool," said Avon Lake's Kathy Chippi, who attended the game with her husband and two sons — all dressed in Cavs gear. "The LeBron (publicity) thing, I'm over it, but my kids are still into it.
"I think the team did a nice job (with the promotion)."

Report: Middle Schools Have Highest Levels of Bullying in Mountain State
Written by Phyllis Smith
Last updated on July 25, 2013 @ 11:57PM
Created on July 25, 2013 @ 5:21PM
A new state report said about half of reported cases of bullying happen in middle schools.
The report also found that 73% of students who were disciplined for bullying were boys. It also listed harassment, and intimidation as a form of bullying. The Department of Education is planning on creating special programs to address the problem.
Terry George, the Superintendent of Schools for Randolph County, said, "We have more cases of bullying, and harassment that are being reported to school officials now than in the past. I think more students are forthcoming when they feel they're being bullied, and they're reporting it to their teachers, or their principals."
Local school officials said they're attending meetings about this issue as early as August 8th.

Enable/Disable WADL generation in runtime - Jersey 1.7
By Pavel Bucek-Oracle on May 23, 2011
We've received request about giving more control related to WADL generation, but not that much (no authentication or this kind of features) in runtime. This can be useful for example when you have more than one application deployed and you want to disable WADL generation for all of them - as some security measure. How is it done? You can inject WadlApplicationContext and use its methods - isWadlGenerationEnabled() and setWadlGenerationEnabled(boolean).
Use of this is self explanatory, but note that you won't be able to enable WADL for application which disables WADL in web.xml (see ResourceConfig.FEATURE_DISABLE_WADL). Where you can inject this? Almost everywhere, for example to your WebApplicationListener or even into resource class:
@Path("root") public static class RootResource { @Get public String get() { return "GET"; } @Path("switch") @POST public void switchMethod(@Context WadlApplicationContext wadlApplicationContext) { wadlApplicationContext.setWadlGenerationEnabled(!wadlApplicationContext.isWadlGenerationEnabled()); } }
As title suggest, this functionality was added in Jersey 1.7.

The Beavers scored two in the fifth, one in the sixth and six runs in the seventh to overcome a 5-1 UA lead and improve their record to 20-8 on the year and to 2-2 in the Pac-10.
The Wildcats seemingly had the game in hand after taking advantage of three hit batters by OSU starter Dallas Buck and a three-run double by Bill Rhinehart to score five runs in the top of the fifth, and had closer Mark Melancon on the mound with two outs in the bottom of the inning.
However, the normally reliable
Trailing 5-4 after six and half innings, the Beavers exploded for six runs on five hits to take the lead for good in the bottom of the seventh. OSU sent 11 hitters to the plate in the frame and was paced by two-run singles by Shea McFeely and Cole Gillespie.
Led by a bases-loaded double by Rhinehart in the top of fifth, the Wildcats overcame a 1-0 deficit with five runs on three hits in the inning.
Buck, who did not factor in the decision, was pulled from the game after allowing all five runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He struck out only one and walked three in his shortest non-rain interrupted start of the year.

"Sons of Anarchy" takes its broad fan base seriously, especially when scheduling promotional events for the series that begins its final season September 9. The most recent SOA escapades featured a bikini bike wash and a Big Brother charitable event this past weekend, as reported Sunday on Home Media Magazine and the St. Catharine's Standard. How's that for catering to a wide fan base?
The bikini bike wash was the brainchild of Bartels' Harley-Davidson in Marina del Rey, California, who is a licensed retailer of SOA merchandise. So to get in the spirit for the Season 6 DVD release scheduled August 26, they invited a few hundred of their closest biker pals for an intimate gathering to get their bikes washed by "SOA bikini girls", fill up on some free food and grab some "Sons of Anarchy" giveaways. Which was pretty generous, although it pales somewhat in comparison to the Season 5 DVD giveaway, where Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment partnered with the bike shop to give away 100 limited edition "Sons of Anarchy" motorcycles.
It seems this time they had to settle for bikini babes and burgers. But some of that SOA merchandise is pretty swanky, too, and one shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
On the other end of the spectrum, two of the stars of "Sons of Anarchy", Kim Coates and Theo Rossi, made personal appearances to support the annual Ride or Kids fundraiser for Big Brothers-Big Sisters of St. Catharine's and Thorold. Bringing in the two stars for this year's fundraiser expanded the event from 85 riders last year to over 250 this year. Approximately 500 people packed the parking lot where the event was held to meet the actors and show their support for the charitable organization.
Both actors joined in the ride, with varying levels of experience. Coates, who plays Tig on the show, has been riding since he was eight years old and is a real biker. Rossi, who plays Juice, wasn't quite so experienced. He had to learn to ride for the series, but claims he's "never fallen off or tipped a bike over," according to the St. Catharine's Standard.
The boost in the annual fundraiser took the donations from $6,000 last year to what could turn out to be around $30,000 for this year, although a final tally hasn't been released yet.
"Sons of Anarchy" debuts its final season on FX September 9.

The political, social, and legal problems confronting societies after periods of mass human rights violations or war have attracted increasing attention from policymakers and scholars in the last three decades. South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission; the prosecution of Chile's former dictator, Augusto Pinochet; Argentina's reparations to victims of its military regime; and Sierra Leone's internationally-supported Special Court are among the best-known policy responses to those problems. In this seminar we will use a series of case studies to examine the legacies of such abuses and the institutions and processes that governments most often use to address them, comparing the approaches of countries in Latin America, Africa, and Europe.

BEREA – The Steelers, Saints and now the Patriots.
Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy is almost certain to continue his Murderers' Row of opponents Sunday at home against New England.
Seneca Wallace (high ankle sprain) didn't practice again Thursday, leaving McCoy to take the first-team repetitions once again and on the path to make a third straight start to open his career.
"We're moving pretty strong in that direction," coach Eric Mangini said Thursday.
McCoy went 1-1 on the road and will be making his first home start. His three opponents have a combined 16-6 record.
Wallace said Monday he hoped to practice Wednesday or Thursday and start Sunday. Mangini said there's a chance he could practice Friday, but it would be a stretch to believe he could start.
Wallace said Thursday he hasn't had a setback.
"It's just being smart, not trying to rush to get back on the field with this type of injury," he said. "It's feeling good, I just gotta make sure I can function within the environment of playing my position."
Defensive lineman Shaun Rogers (ankle) returned to practice after missing Wednesday. Defensive end Kenyon Coleman (knee) didn't practice but is expected to start Sunday.

This month we have been covering various topics about keeping your car cool during the summer time. Today, we're discussing one essential button in your car that can make all the difference when the summer heat is turned up full force. That button we're refering to, is the AIR CONDITIONER!!! If you haven't had your air conditioner properly serviced over the past year, you may have a few common problems that will keep that button from working properly.
1) Make sure your cabin air filter is clean; if it's gummed up, that cool air isn't getting pushed into your interior.
2) The AC condenser looks like a small radiator in the front of your engine & it often gets filled with road debris; leaves & bugs & dirt...if that's clogged, your AC won't cool as much. Some spray cleaner and a hose can work wonders.
3) Then there's the actual refrigerant the system uses to create the cold air; while you CAN recharge it yourself, you HAVE to do it correctly. Too much refrigerant can actually cause MORE damage to your system.
And that's why when your AC is making you hot, I recommend taking your vehicle to one of our trusted car care pros here in town.
You know that moment when you pull your car door open after it's been baking in the sun all day and you feel like you have just entered into a sauna? Then, as you start to break a sweat, your car's air conditioner has to fight off all that heat before you ever start to cool off. Does this scenario sound familiar right about now? There is nothing we can do to change the temperatures in August, but there are a couple things you can do to keep things nicer inside here over the course of a hot day.
1) Don't be afraid to crack your windows a little bit. Even a slit just an inch or so on each side is enough to drop the temps but not big enough for anyone to reach inside.
2) Another thing you can do is open the windows on both sides of your car right when you get inside. As you get yourself situated for your drive, that hot air is getting pushed out.
3) It's the old standby, a window shade. These really do work to keep things cooler inside. Get a second one for the rear window too.
4) For those of you with your remote start, don't forget to crank that up! This will help tremendously!
5) If you are going to have your car parked all day, see if there are any shade options around.
And if you need a hand with keeping your car cool, make sure to stop by & visit our trusted car care pros here in town.
At this time of year it doesn't really matter where in the country you are, it is going to be hot. We are square into the heat of the Summer and your car is taking a beating everyday: hot temperatures mean that your engine is getting in a good workout. If you're keen to your dashboard, you'll notice that the temperature gauge reads a bit higer this time of year. That's normal as long as it doesn't move too much. When that needle creeps towards the far side things go bad in a hurry. Check your owners manual for your car's specifics, but a rule of thumb is to change your engine's coolant every 2 years.
Think it's time to get your car checked out? With help from our trusted car care pros here in town, it's easy to do yourself at home or you can have them do it for you. It's quick & will help ensure your car makes it through the heat, cool as can be.
All month long we've talked about using your vehicle on holiday trips, parties and the things you see while on the road. With school starting back up in just a few short weeks, everyone is prepping for their last vacation road trip of the season. Today, we're going to make sure your car or truck is up to snuff with my summertime road trip checklist to keep you and your family safe on the road.
1) Check The Air In Your Tires. Pressure changes with temperature so if you last checked it in January, they may be WAY off here in the summer.
2) Next is your cabin air filter: you've got the AC on a bunch & this filter keeps the air free of contaminants.
3) Another thing we overlook: windshield wipers. Out in the sun all day long, they dry out & crack. Check them now before you need them...only to find out they're leaving big streaks right across your glass.
4) Start your car with a full tank of gas. This way you will eliminate another stop on the way to your destination.
5) Get your car battery checked.
6) If you need an oil change, go ahead and get that done before your leave.
7) A good music playlist on your iPhone never hurts to add some entertainment and sing along in the car.
And when you need a hand with any of these, make sure to swing by our trusted car care pros here in town!

Every time behind the wheel you should be a defensive driver and aware of your surroundings. Regardless of the time of day or time of year, people don't always make the smartest decisions when getting behind the wheel which can put you and your family in danger. Tell us if this scenario sounds familiar:
You're driving down the road and there you see it...a car swerving all over the place. It's an impaired driver...and you, being the good citizen, want to do something about it. But what is it that you should do? How shold you handle this situation so you can keep yourself and other safe? Mothers Against Drunk Driving offer up some smart tips.
1) Up first, do NOT try & be a hero, let the police do that. Stay back & keep your distance.
2)Second, get a good description of the vehicle: the more information the better: make, model, color and license plate and what road they're on. BUT, don't jeopardize your safety getting the info.
3) Finally, when it's safe, call 911 and tell the authorities.

July is a month of celebrations! There are holidays, weddings & just good old fashioned summer cookouts which can all be a lot of fun!If you're hosting one of these parties, you do have some responsibilities that come along to ensure everyone's safety behind the wheel when the festivities come to an end. Now, the obvious thing is to make sure that no one leaves your party who has consumed more alcohol than the legal limit.
So how do you make sure of this? Have a SOBER key-master, which is someone who can make sure drivers are okay to drive. It's also a good idea to have a list of cab companies on hand so you can call when needed. You can also invite your friends and family to stay the night, which can often turn out to be a lot of fun! In many states, the party host can be found liable if a guest at their party then drives drunk, even though YOU'RE not behind the wheel. Our trusted car care pros are going to be safe this summer, you can be too!
The 4th of July holiday isone of the deadliest times to drive. BUT, if you MUST be outthis weekend, lets look at a few things you can do to make sure you & yourfamily are as safe as possible. Up first, stay alert! Many of usare driving long distances & staying up late, so if you start to feelsleepy, pull over & close your eyes. Sometimes a short power nap isjust what you need to give you another driving boost.
Secondly, don't drivedistracted:calls, texting, even playing the license plate game with the kidstakes your concentration off the road.
And finally, this is themost obvious; DON'T DRINK & DRIVE. On behalf of all our trusted carcare pros here in town, have a happy and safe 4th of July!

A handful of years ago, the closest thing to accident avoidancetechnology was the loose nut behind the steering wheel: YOU. Today, tehcnology has come a LONG way andmodern cars can actually help you avoid accidents: ABS, anti-lock brakes, havebeen around for quite some time & help you control your car in a panicstop. But now some cars come withsensors that tell of cars in your blind spots or coming across you as you backout of a parking lot. There are evenradar enabled systems that can sense an impending crash, warn you and evenapply the brakes automatically. Of course, the BEST accident avoidance systemis a well trained & alert driver and thats YOUR responsibility. And if youve got questions about technologylike this, youre always welcome to talk with our trusted car care pros here intown!
Tis' the season! You've got the family truckster loaded up and headed...right into a holiday traffic jam. Worry not! We may be able to help avoid some of it. Here's how in 3 easy steps:
1) Know your route. Tourists & once a year travelers are out during the holidays: they're going to use the main roads. Arm yourself with local knowledge of smaller routes, the back roads. What you'll spend I'm a few extra miles could save you substantial time at the end of your drive.
2) Check your GPS: most systems calculate alternate,faster routes at the push of a button (many smart phones have apps to help if you don't have GPS in car).
3) Leave during no peak travel hours.
4) Finally, check for traffic updates here in the news: if it's a major backup, we'll tell you about it fast.
It's dark, slippery & everyone has an opinion...on motor oil. Here's our Oil Change 101: oil is the blood of your engine. And it gets dirty. That's why we change it. Now the big question;when do we change it? The mantra for years had been every 3months or 3,000 miles. But modern technology means oil may last longer in your car. Check your owners manual to know for sure. Some newer vehicles even have an electronic monitor that tells you when to change your oil. Regardless of if you do your own work, or use a trusted shop, regular oil changes are the single best thing you can do to extend the life of your engine.

A few weeks ago we talked on here about how important it is to check your tire air pressure. This week its time to talk about rotating those tires that we all rely so heavily on.

Here are some helpful tire tips and reminders to keep your car running on the road longer.
So head to your trusted car care professional and lets keep that car on the road longer!

School is officially back in session, but the weather is still beautiful in many places which means it's still a great time to take a family road trip! Once Labor Day passes vacation rates typically drop a significant amount making it a great opportunity for a family vacation. When you think of family vacations some people get the Griswold Family Vacation image in their minds, when it doesn't have to be that way. Safe preparation is the key to a successful family road trip. Here are some important things you should be sure to do before taking a trip:
1. Make a service stop- A quick tune up can go a long way. This includes tire rotation, oil check, replace car's fuel filter, proper valve adjustment, fill tires with air ect.
2. Toss out your old wiper blades and pick up a new pair from your local car parts supplier. You never know what kind of weather elements you will hit on your road trip. Not being able to see out of your windshield is extremely dangerous and could ruin a trip.
3. Only bring the necessities- Over packing can be stressful before, during and after your trip. It is important to be able to see out of all your windows for safety. In addition, minimizing the amount you bring can help your overall fuel economy. Who doesn't want to save some extra cash while on the road to spend on a good family dinner?
4. Car wash after the trip- When you finish your family road trip it's a good idea to get a good detailed wash for your far. You want to get rid of all the elements your car goes through while on the journey. Make sure to vacuum out the interior as well to get rid of all the spilled snacks! This will help your car's overall longevity so you can keep the value of your car and take future trips with your car looking sharp!
Have a safe family road trip and remember as always to visit your local car care professional for the best service and assistance to do things the right and safe way. Be sure to visit back for more tips and tricks here at Auto Matters.
First you need to buy a good gauge. It doesn't have to be expensive but you need a good gauge to make sure you have accurate readings every time.
Next, locate your air pressure requirements either inside your cars door or in the owners manual. This will always be your reference for inflating your tires.
When you have your gauge and your settings the best time to check air pressure is in the mornings, before you have driven. Driving can create heat which will give you a false reading so this eliminates any confusion.
And finally make sure to check and set them all at the same time and compare the numbers to what your car requires. That way you can identify if one tire is losing more than the others. By doing this you regularly you're going to increase your handling, fuel economy, safety and even keep your car on the road longer.
Please remember that it is always a good idea to use your local car care professional when it comes to car maintenance as they will always provide you with the best top level service.

The Huntington Library and Garden in Pasadena excels at collecting and displaying all types of art and landscape architecture which accent its superb collection of traditional fine art. Its goal is to show how textiles, tiles, fixtures, floral arrangements and dozens of other handcrafted creations reinforce the context and artistic details of traditional fine art.
An exceptional and equally large display of this approach to showing art and teaching art history is on view at the Chateau de Clos Luce, the last residence of legendary Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci lived and worked here in the Loire Valley of France from 1516 until his death in May 1519. His patron, King Francis I of France, enabled da Vinci to apply his accumulated wisdom to create an idealized artistic environment within the chateau and the surrounding gardens…This success story later inspired many "artist-in-residence" programs.
Handcrafted and meticulously carved masonry and carpentry frames the entire chateau and extends into landscaped gardens similar in size and grade to the Huntington gardens. The gardens massive trees and flowering shrubs accent the details of shading, color and depth in the artwork shown in the chateau. Mirrors and stained glass reflect and reinforce the artistic dimensions and match reflections from the shimmering waterways in the landscaped gardens.
Taking the time to appreciate the taste and themes reflected in these foundations of art shows another da Vinci trademark that has distinguished master artists from Archimedes to Alexander Calder. That is works of art that can also be expressed as mathematical formulas or equations from the science of physics. One of the artworks is actually named after Archimedes. Many of the works show precisely calculated distances between different elements. These are easier to appreciate after viewing the large collection of precision measurement instruments invented by da Vinci on display in the adjacent museum. The flooring of the chateau, the formal gardens, and the bridges and staircases throughout the estate are composed of complex geometric shapes and sequences. These are accented by a polyhedron in the gardens. If you have been looking for the perfect parabola, you will find it in the courtyard fountain of Chateau de Clos Luce.
Similar to Huntington Gardens, Chateau de Clos Luce incorporates botanical science with the appreciation of art. The surrounding gardens emulate da Vinci landscapes and include two footbridges and mechanical rowboats based on his engineering drawings. The gardens enhance appreciation of da Vinci's traditional fine art with contours and native plants from da Vinci's longtime home in Tuscany. The micro climate of the hill country north of Florence is similar to the fabled loire Valley, where Chateau de Clos Luce is located. Carefully engineered waterfalls and brooks show fine distinctions of moisture and crystalline reflections that also accent many da Vinci artworks. Garden fragrances show how scent adds artistic dimensions and the cascading artificial waterfalls add the dimension of sound to the artistic environment.
An important part of the Los Angeles creative community will want to see Chateau de Clos Luce on site or online – the "imagineers" who design exhibits for our local theme parks and other "edutainment" complexes like Universal Studios. In its current role as a tourist attraction, the Chateau is the center of an edutainment campus called "Parc Leonardo da Vinci." Contemporary exhibits about da Vinci technology, scientific studies and his impact on other creative geniuses, plus a museum chronicling da Vinci's experiences in France round out the historic exhibits. Is there more to come? It is possible. Visitors will also observe forensic art historians working on site to determine if there are any murals painted by da Vinci which were subsequently painted over in the following five centuries. They have not yet found any murals, but it is fascinating and inspiring to watch them try.

The Delaware Art Museum is taking a lot of flak for wanting to sell off four as yet unidentified works from its 12,500-item collection. It was either de-accession or die, said the museum.
That's no excuse, says the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD), faulting the museum for pairing art with assets. (Yeah, like who ever heard of such a thing). If the sale goes through, the AAMD will instruct its 250 member museums to stop all art loans, in effect robbing the Delaware treasure house of national exposure.
This wouldn't be the first time that sanctions were imposed on a museum for defying AAMD standards to stay solvent. Six years ago, New York's National Academy Museum was disallowed from borrowing works for two years plus a five-year probation period because it sold two Hudson River School paintings.
Such sanctions are no small thing. National Academy director Carmine Branagan told the press: "You're completely incapable of designing exhibition programming going forward because you can't loan and you can't get loans, and sanctions also affect funding."
The AAMD sledge hammer came down again as recently as a couple of months ago when the Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College in Lynchburg, Va. sold a $25.5 million George Bellows painting "Men of the Docks" to the National Gallery of Art in London to beef up its college's endowment. The punishment? No American museum is allowed to collaborate with the Maier Museum.
Shouldn't it be obvious to the AAMD by now that museums are in trouble and have been for a very long time owing to the rising costs of climate control, security and insurance? Isn't this why we need to pay entry fees.
Once upon a time, museum entry was free. In the mid-19th century, American art collector James Jackson Jarvis urged his countrymen to found free museums: "To stimulate the art-feeling, it is requisite that our public should have free access to museums in which shall be exhibits in chronological series, specimens of the art of all nations and schools, including ours."
The result, Jarvis said, would be a "perpetual feast" for all to feed on. When he wrote this, Americans were busy with the Civil War and there weren't any art museums. But by 1888, his Art-Idea took off and half-dozen art museums opened to the public and were free of charge. Few museums are now.
Now may also be the time for museums to sell off parts of their collection to stay afloat. Even diminished, keeping museums going is better than losing them. Otherwise, private collectors will have the "perpetual feast" to themselves.
Note: A guess about which paintings Delaware will sell. Because the museum holds several paintings by British Pre-Raphaelite Dante Gabriel Rossetti, maybe it's four of these that will go on the auction block. See slide show of some the museum's Rossetti holdings.

We then identified 11 key metrics which speak to various aspects of the immediate opportunities, prospects for growth, and potential hazards associated with each type of job.
"This allowed us to ultimately construct a hierarchy for the entry-level job market that illustrates the types of jobs that should be most attractive to new labor market entrants -- particularly recent graduates -- in both the near and short term."
In addition to the insightful report, Dey joined a pool of other career specialists to offer her sage advice regarding specific career outlooks as well as tips for how to ensure a successful career.
The following comments are excerpts from Kiernan's article that highlight Dey's contribution.
What should recent graduates look for in an industry?
They should seek an industry that is geared toward supporting professional growth, innovation, risk-taking, and one that provides a work ethic in alignment with their core values.
Recent graduates are in a wonderful phase of future possibilities as they walk across the stage at graduation.
My advice is to find a field that sees them as emerging professionals with new ideas to contribute, but one that also expects them to be continually learning.
Seek an industry that is agile and entrepreneurial in its approach to business and that provides the professional space to expand their career horizons.
What is the biggest career mistake that young people make?
"Magical thinking. There can be the tendency to believe that everything will somehow work out even if they do not take the initiative to define a preferred outcome, set a strategy, and do the work required to reach their goal.
Thinking about the realities of the career market, looming financial responsibilities, and developing the tool kit for launching their careers is often on the back burner until graduation or after.
This is late when you take into consideration the global and competitive world of work that now exists for young talent.
Magical thinking may mean that students miss taking the opportunity to complete an internship, they do not build a robust professional network, they do not visit the career office, they do not utilize the expertise or professional connections of faculty, and they apply to jobs online without making a more personal contact.
Despite available resources and support, they try to navigate a multifaceted process on their own or with the uninformed guidance of friends and family.
A successful career strategy requires focus, energy, technique, resilience, and a sense of play.
A job search can be grueling and the support of a mentor or coach can be vital in developing the ability to put everything in perspective, develop a sense of self, be proactive, and acquire career development skills that can be used now and in the future."
Tips for turning an entry-level job into a long, successful career?
I view the entry-level job as the first step on a new, exciting, and iterative career journey. My guidance is to understand that even if the job is at the coolest big name company; this job is just the beginning.
This first role will most likely be relatively short-term but is significant in setting a career foundation.
In this role be sure to:
- Learn everything you can, be a sponge.
- Speak up and contribute but also respect the knowledge already in the room.
- Find a mentor; continue to seek out mentors throughout your career.
- Be open to change and become comfortable with ambiguity, quickly.
- Never assume you know the best answer but do believe you have an answer worth sharing.
- Take credit for the work you do but do not take credit for the work of others.
- Build and feed your network as a group of valued friends and make that network a two way street; give as much as you receive.
- Always be in career development mode, do not rest on your laurels.
- Career progression is earned and not guaranteed.
- Some job duties are boring but still vital to do well.
- Say thank you.

College Hockey:Oilers Erase Three-Goal Dutchmen Lead In Tie
Somerville Nets Final Goal For Findlay
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — After playing five straight one-goal hockey games, Union found itself in the position to win by a wide margin Friday against Findlay when it took a three-goal lead into the third period.
But the Dutchmen wilted. Despite being outshot, 44-18, the Oilers rallied for three third-period goals to earn a 4-4 nonconference tie at Achilles Rink.
Findlay (8-11-2) scored its goals on eight shots over the final two periods of regulation. Sloppy defensive play by Union was a factor in the Oilers' final two goals.
"We had a complete meltdown of playing solid in our own zone," Union coach Kevin Sneddon said. "There's no excuse for it. We were up a field goal, and all we have to do is tighten it up in our own zone and keep the game simple. I think we thought it was going to be easy."
Second-period goals by Joel Beal, Marc Neron and Jeff Wilson gave the Dutchmen (8-7-4) a 4-1 lead. They outshot the Oilers, 17-2, in the second.
But the Dutchmen got into trouble right away in the third period. D.J. Vogt scored his second goal of the game on a breakaway 1:16 into the third.
"I thought we stunk in the second period, and our guys stopped working," Findlay coach Craig Barnett said. "I told them that our backs are against the wall. We'll see what they'll do in the third — throw the white towel in and hang our heads?
"Or are we going to come out, play hard and see what happens."
Just over four minutes later, Union goalie Kyle Loney's clearing attempt off the left-wing glass stayed in the Dutchmen zone. Aaron Weegar sent the puck to Christian Olson, who put a backhander past Loney.
With four minutes left, Findlay got the tying goal. Again, the Dutchmen failed to get the puck out of their zone.
Mark Bastl made a diving attempt to keep the puck in at the right point. He passed to Rigel Shaw in the slot, and Loney stopped Shaw's shot, but Brant Somerville put the rebound home.
"We were just soft in our own end," Wilson said. "Against any team in the NCAA, when you do that, they're going to strike against you. They just wanted it more all over the ice, and they proved it in the third."
It was a disappointing performance by Union, which was coming off Wednesday's 5-4 ECAC win over Capital Region-rival Rensselaer. The Dutchmen rallied from a 4-2 deficit to win that game.
The Dutchmen wasted an opportunity to build momentum off that win.
"I think we went into this game with too much confidence after the RPI win," Neron said. "The main point is you've got to play 60 minutes in college hockey. We played 40 tonight."

Avoca city manager Clint Fichter has been hired as an interim financial manager for the city of Glenwood.
Fichter, who also owns a financial consulting service and law firm, will oversee the city's finances and budget process while a search is conducted to replace Brian Kissel, who was terminated last month as city administrator and financial director.
Kissel's termination came just as the city was preparing its budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year, which begins July 1.
Orienteering, running, mountain biking, canoeing.
No, that's not a list of summer camp activities, it's the list of events for an adventure race Mills County will host in and around Glenwood this June.
Adventure Race Glewood will have contestants earning points by reaching check marks on the unmarked course. The multi-disciplinary team sport consists of teams of one or two participating in timed running, bicycling, canoeing and navigating events through 25 checkpoints throughout the county, starting and finishing at Glenwood Lake Park.
Third district U.S. House of Representatives candidate Desmund Adams made a stop in Glenwood last Tuesday as part of his tour of the district's 16 Iowa counties.
Adams, 41, of Clive, threw his hat into the third district ring last July. He has never held public office before but was the first Democrat challenger to enter the race against third district Republican incumbent David Young and is the first African-American to ever seek federal office in Iowa. Adams is running, he said, to make a better third district and a better Iowa.
Randy Romens, the coordinator of Glenwood's Brews, Blues & BBQ celebration, is this year's recipient of the Glenwood Area Chamber of Commerce's Citizen of the Year award. He will be among several individuals, organizations and businesses honored at the chamber's annual Betterment and Beautification Dinner and Awards program March 3 at the Bella Terre reception hall.
arking" area on the north end of Glenbrook Drive was expected to be addressed Tuesday night, Feb. 23, by the Glenwood City Council.
The Glenwood Community School District Board of Directors unanimously approved more than $275,000 in spending over the next fiscal year for purchases of three new vehicles, including two new school buses, repairs to parking lots and routine maintenance to buildings in the district.
The Mills County Economic Development Foundation and the Glenwood Area Chamber of Commerce have announced their plans to formally separate on July 1.
Technically, the economic development foundation and chamber have always been separate organizations with each agency having its own governing board. However, beginning July 1, they will no longer share an executive director.
Land prices dropped for a second consecutive year in Mills County, but remain more than four times higher than they were at the start of the 21st century.
According to the recently released Iowa State University Iowa Land Value Survey, farmland prices in Mills County dropped from $7,742 per acre in 2014 to $7,645 last year.
The decrease mirrors a statewide trend in which land values dropped 3.9 percent to $7,633 per acre in 2015.
Both state and Mills County land values hit a historic high in 2013 at $8,955 and $7,260 per acre, respectively.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz claimed victory in Monday's Iowa Republican Caucuses, but billionaire Donald Trump finished on top in Mills County.
Trump tallied 27 percent of the Republican vote in Mills County. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio was the runner-up with 24 percent, followed by Cruz with 22. Dr. Ben Carson garnered 16 percent of the Mills County vote to finish a distant fourth.
In the statewide results, Cruz finished first with 28 percent, followed by Trump with 24 and Rubio with 23. No other Republican candidates reached the double digit mark.
A group of Mineola residents fighting a dirt dig site in their neighborhood will finally have their day in court Feb. 9.
Omaha attorney Terry White, on behalf of nine plaintiffs, filed suit last April against the Mills County Board of Adjustment for its controversial decision to grant a special use permit to Cory Leick to extract dirt from a 40-acre parcel west of Mineola along Barrus Road and 237th Street.

We do not have a commissary yet at our fast-growing Los Angeles tech public relations firm PMBC Group, but we do have a beautiful courtyard just outside our offices at Maple Plaza in Beverly Hills, which is a great lunch spot and the perfect proving ground to try out the new food food-tech service EAT Club.
EAT Club is the upscale food delivery service that specializes in group meals for offices. It features an ever-changing bright, colorful online menu of entrees to please every palate. The service counters typical one-taste-suits-all delivery services that leave employees with special dietary needs or picky palates with grumbling tummies.
Says a company pitch: "Everyone has their food 'thing' - one person may be a vegan, one can't eat gluten, one's on a beach diet. EAT Club caters to all dietary needs by packaging meals individually based on your needs and wants."
In a town where company culture is essential for attracting the best talent in an increasingly competitive marketplace, EAT Club is designed for those companies that want to gain an edge by offering their employees perks like food-related benefits
In addition to meals from LA hotspots like Phorage, Euphoria Loves RAWvolution, Chandni Vegetarian EAT Club is cooks up a menu of its own with James Beard-nominated chefs who prepare meals in-house, including Paleo and gluten-free fares.
The company recently crossing a milestone of 1.5MM meals served to clients like Pandora and Tesla, Saatchi Art, Twenty20, DogVacay.com and PMBC Group.
Some favorites of PMBC Group for our weekly staff eat-and-chat were the Antioxidant Salad, the Olive Oil Poached Salmon Salad, Super Bird Club, and the Sweet Potato Black Bean Quesadilla, delivered promptly and pleasantly, on time, chilled and ready to eat.
When you work hard, you deserve just rewards, and PMBC Groups publicists and public relations pros appreciated EAT Club as a great perk and a great choice for good eats.

Any tips on settings? I really couldn't seem to get it to work at all with the black background.
Here is my first attempt:
I used a 1/3 shutter at F8 and ISO 50. Focal length was 75mm with the a99 & Minolta 28-85 3.5-4.5.
I used 2 flashes set on either side outside the light tent.
My main concern is wanting to remove the background, whether I use a white or black background.

Until now, much of Lane's charity work has been done quietly, but this fall, with the airing of Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, she seems poised to ramp up the public aspect. In September she'll host an L.A. fund raiser for Heifer International. "It's the most rewarding thing to do with my time now," she says. A few days later she opens in a production of Tennessee Williams's Sweet Bird of Youth at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, and next year will appear as Superman's mother in the movie Man of Steel. She's also contemplating a theater project in New York. "Hey! Some people I love are in New York!" she says brightly, imagining a reunion with the departed children. "I can be, like, nearby . . . I'd be out of their hair, but available!"

Released just a year ago Nashville artist Brady Toops is redefining the gap between the sacred and the secular. The album "Brady Toops" which debuted at #8 on the Christian/Gospel chart combines traditional folk, rock and gospel.
Having grown up in New London, a small Minnesota town, Toops spent the majority of his early years running around on diamonds and athletic fields. After making a brief stint in Minor League Baseball with the St. Louis Cardinals, he left the world of athletics in 2006 to pursue his first love, music. Being accustomed to life on the road and traveling more miles than one cares to count, Brady finally made his way to Franklin, TN to work with songwriter/producer Anthony Skinner. In the early summer of 2011, his 5 song EP, "A Little Love", was released. The new album was produced by David Leonard of All Sons and Daughters and displays a unique combination of hymns, spirituals, and traditional singer/songwriter tunes.
The opening track on this 11 track album is the touching "By The River". The song is reminescent of Johnny Cash's gospel albums. The storytelling and flow of the song showcase Brady's voice and give a glimpse into what the album could be. Filled with ambient, folk music worshipful flow. "Golden Bell" the 2nd song is blends the vintage feel of the album with a modern tone. "Reckless Love" is more upbeat than the earlier tracks. Almost sounds like Casting Crowns style, the modern take of the song will get you up on your feet praising. "Lord Have Mercy" is done masterfully. This is a great song to pray along with Brady. "Glorious Name" keeps the worshipful flow going with the proclamation "You are the Lord, the Lord God so merciful / You are the Lord, full of grace and full of Truth, oh You never change, what a glorious Name."
"Come On Home" is one of those goose bump kind of songs. The tenderness in the vocals take you on an emotional journey. The lyrics are stirring "Can you feel His eyes, they look for you, / Can you feel His cries, they long for you / Come on home, though you've left, He couldn't forget, just come on home." The next two songs are Brady's prayerful, introspective versions of the hymns of the faith, "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "Soon and Very Soon." "Blessed Savior" stays in line with the rest of the album. With Brady's vintage feel and ambient sound he captivates your soul and takes you on journey's of worship. "Make Your Home" is a song destined to be sung by believers for years to come. The final track is another personal prayer from Brady "O For Grace".
"Obviously, how a person sees the world bleeds through everything they do. These songs are the most honest and sincere words I know how to say. They're my prayers, my story, and the stories that have marked me along the way," said Brady Toops.
If you're a fan of Jonny Cash, All Sons & Daughters or Jon Forman you'll enjoy this album. Whether you're a Christian or not, these songs will hit deep within your soul. Brady is one of those rare artists that is destined to stand the test of time. Do yourself and your soul a favor and give the album a listen. You will not be disappointed.

Agriculture is a key industry in the Panhandle area. But, the Department of Labor's attempt to to change parts of the child labor law could threaten the future of family owned farms.
Generation's of farmers have learned how to work the field by learning it as a child. But, if the Department of Labor's proposed changes occur, no person under the age of 16 would be allowed to operate machinery or handle most livestock. Machinery could be mean anything from riding a tractor to using a weed-eater.
This was in response to recent farming accidents that claimed the lives of several teenagers. And as imagined, this news was not popular down on the farm.
"I've been working on the farm since I could walk" said David Defelix, owner and operator of Felix Farms. "I started operating tractors and machinery since I was ten. It's not something you just walk out of a classroom and decide to do" he said.
Farmers said they were using their kids on the farm just for free labor. They said the future of family farms depended on their kids learning how to be farmers. They also said that in many cases it's safer than hiring an adult to do the job.
"I would trust child that's been trained responsibly over an inexperienced adult... Without training farmers young to come up and take over the business, who's gonna grow our food in the future" Defelix asked.
As of Thursday, the Labor Department held hearings on the matter and is said to release the new regulations in June. If approved, the plan would also revoke Government approval of safety training and certification courses for young people offered through organizations such as Future Farmers of America and the 4H club.

Besides evilvte, is there any terminal emulator on Linux which (without crashing) allows me to, on a per host basis, specify both cursor, foreground and background color and also icon (that is, the icon shown when the running application is minimized)?
I'm doing SSH into a quite large number of different hosts and to make it easier for me to keep track of which host I'm logged on to, each host has a unique color scheme (that is, an unique combination of background, foreground and cursor color) I use for it's terminal Windows. To make it easier to instinctively navigate properly between these terminal sessions, I also rely on customizing the terminal emulator setup so the icon used for it when it is minimized (or when doing ALT-TAB in my XFCE desktop) is reflecting the color scheme it is using.
(I have a perl program that generates an terminal graphic with background, foreground and cursor colors matching the color scheme I use for the host, so I can easily generate an appropriate icon for every host I'm supposed to work with)
The problem with this approach is not that it does not work (it does indeed work as a charm!), but that it is hard to pick a good enough terminal emulator which does support all of the following:
- Per session customizable icon graphics (in the sense I can specify any image on disk).
- Per session customizable background, foreground and cursor color.
- Preferably also per session customizable ANSI colors (including 'bright' colors 8 to 15), simply because if the background color is red, I want to tweak the ANSI red and bright red so they differ a bit from the background color. (Yes, I got a script that automates that tweaking too)
Right now I rely on evilvte because it is the only terminal software that allows me to customize both the icon as well as all colors (cursor, foreground, background, bold, dim and all of the ANSI ones). The problem with evilvte is that I have to compile one separate binary per session (partially automated and works but frankly quite ugly approach). Also, evilvte does not support that you decrease width or height of the terminal window (that is, decrease the number of columns or rows) in spite of allowing you to increase width/height. Another potential problem with evilvte is that I've done a fairly ugly hack to tweak all ANSI colors for it which might or might not work for future evilvte versions.
I have tried gnome-terminal, but it did originally lack the ability to customize the cursor color and once one included support for that it was decided to remove the ability to customize the icon on a per session basis.
Any pointer to a terminal that provides all the features I need but without the headaches I get when using evilvte would be appreciated.
Edit: Matt Jenkins provide a good and well written answer where he suggests that I use xterm and provide some good hints for howe to use it. Unfortunately, xterm do have some limitations that makes it unsuitable for my needs (xterm only support monochrome black and white icon pixmaps and it has hard coded, compiled in ANSI colors). So, I did not accept his answer (clicking the checkmark) but I still "upped" it one point.

on a side note: my parentals saw my youtube channel, found it hilarious (i'm not sure why, considering i'm making fun of them most of the time), and decided to send the link to EVERY RELATIVE WE HAVE.
asfhsdkjlfhskjdafhlkdas ><'
but anyway muchos gracias pichubro tell your mom i say hi
It's even more depressing because it's your parents.
i thought they were pretty funny too, KGs personality is full of limitless possibility.
kgs videos will be famous world wide!!
Is she a director on youtube yet? I'd vouch for it if not.
nah, not yet. i dont want to go for director until i think up something spectacular. in my opinion my stuff is just generic good-for-laffs youtube stuff, better than TEEN BLOGS but not anything amazing. And if you're a director and you're just average then you get lots o haterzzz
if i wanted to post youtube videos a lot i would make sure i was a director before my first post
kg you have to be a bold person to do bold things. you wont get ahead with your attitude!
and how would you do that?
It's funny, a lot of the directors are from europe. I wonder if Eve's got a youtube account she's secretly hiding from us.
one to post the videos and the other to post comments to yourself?
i dont post videos. one is my actual age and the other is 18 so i could watch elfen lied once since you needed to be 18
yea i had to do that once... >.>
it was for elfen lied too...
Stupid school firewall. ( can't access youtube from school)
is it true that if you're 18 you can view porn on youtube? someone said that at my school but I have no way to see whether it's true or not
no clue
would it be assish of me to make a thread in which i put my 'tubes? y'alls are good judges of what is actually funny and it'd be chill to have some counsel.
