HOUSTON, Aug. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 3, 2014, manufacturers around the nation will open their doors to the public and host events highlighting the importance of manufacturing to people's everyday lives. Recognizing the importance of the grassroots initiative known as Manufacturing Day, Shell Lubricants stepped up its commitment by becoming the sole platinum sponsor.
"Shell Lubricants hopes that by sponsoring Manufacturing Day, people will not only learn more about what we do, but become part of this critically-important industry," said Jacqueline Gates, Industrial Marketing Manager at Shell Lubricants. "We recognize that people simply do not fully understand what the manufacturing industry does and the benefits it offers."
Manufacturers, governmental agencies, local colleges and universities across the country will celebrate Manufacturing Day. Each manufacturing facility will help educate local communities on the continued growth of the manufacturing industry and the positive impact that their companies make on the fabric and economy of the United States. The open house events will highlight day-to-day activities, including live demonstrations and facility tours, as well as question and answer sessions providing insight on the innovative and challenging environment of today's manufacturers. Attendees will also learn about the rewarding careers available within the industry.
In recognition of Manufacturing Day and to help raise awareness of the third annual event, the Manufacturing Day logo will be placed on the deck lid of the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion driven by Joey Logano during the September 14th Sprint Cup race in Chicago. Logano's car featured the Manufacturing Day logo at the Chicago race last year as well.
In 2013, the second annual Manufacturing Day proved to be bigger and more successful than its opening year, raking in an attendance of more than 35,000 guests at 834 participating manufacturers across 48 states. This surpassed the goal of 500 nationwide events and 18,000 attendees. With the help of Shell Lubricants and several other U.S. manufacturing organizations, the goal for this year's Manufacturing Day has been set at 1,500 events across the country with at least 50,000 individuals in attendance.
For more information on the Shell Lubricants sponsorship of the 2014 Manufacturing Day, please visit www.mfgday.com/sponsors. The social media hashtag for Manufacturing Day is #MfgDay14.

Sheep put to use at vineyard
Relevant offers
An innovative method of using sheep under the grape vines to achieve the annual task of leaf plucking is being used with success by Colin and Brenda Lyon, of Opihi Vineyard, Pleasant Point.
The small flock of 55 two-tooth perendale-cross ewes arrived at the vineyard last week and immediately got down to the work of plucking (and eating) the bottom leaves off the vines and cleaning up any grass between the rows.
Leaf plucking is usually done by human hands, but the sheep are certainly proving they are up to the job, Mr Lyon says.
"I was a bit worried at first that they would vary their diet and eat the berries [small grapes] as well," he said. "But they don't appear to have any bad habits and the first block of vines looks great."
The idea of having sheep under the vines has been used successfully by growers in Hawke's Bay, according to Mr Lyon.
"This is the first time we have tried the sheep and it is certainly proving successful.
"Our vineyard is quite small, about 5.6 hectares, and we estimate the sheep will be here for less than a month."
Leaf plucking takes the leaves away from the fruit to improve air circulation and help prevent fungal diseases.
The Lyons grow a variety of grapes including pinot gris, pinot noir, chardonnay, riesling and muller thurgau. The grapes are handpicked and about 1000 cases are produced each vintage.

I have been running Conan role playing games since the 80's when the Dungeons & Dragons Conan adventure modules (Unchained & Against Darkness ) came out. I've run countless campaigns with many game systems and I can say with certainty that this game is the best Conan role playing game to date.
I'm new to the 2d20 system, but unlike at least one reviewer here I did more than glance at a couple pages and then write a "review". I've played through the Quick Start twice so far and never had a better time running a Conan game. The system is just pure fun at the table.
Players can spend Doom Points when they're desperate or reckless and really want to succeed, empowering the GM with Doom Points of his own. Players can also build up Momentum which allows ever increasing pulp adventure and exciting heroic action. Players also have Fortune Points they can spend to pull off amazing success, succeeding by strength of arm and will. I think any true fan will feel these combined mechanics really bring the world of Conan to life.
Combat is quick, ferocious, and bloody. Action is gritty and heroic, a great mix of realism and pulp. The game conveys a real feeling for the source material. It's a perfect blend of streamlined crunch and narrative gameplay. So much action can happen in a single die roll. This is Robert E Howard role playing at its best!
Don't take my word for it, it's free by Crom! What are you waiting for? Download it and give it a try yourself!
Old School meets New School. This is a game that allows you to dust off those old school modules you have laying around and run them with a "narrative informs mechanics" style of new school gaming. The book contains a lot of info crammed into the page count. Classic Races and Classes, the Effects Engine, a strong gear list, fun character advances, Scaled gameplay that let's PC's work on a large scale (controlling armies, ships, wizard towers, etc.).
The game system plugs a lot of classic numbers (attributes, HP, weapon damage, etc.) into a modern system which includes Fate style mechanics. Knock down the Orc leader you are fighting and then use your knowledge of his past to humiliate him in front of his clan, attack a demon's tower with fireballs from the deck of your new sailing ship, gain experience for betraying the local townsfolk to the dragon. Play all your classic adventures with new possibilities.
So far I haven't found anything I don't like in the book. It's easy to add new classes, sub-classes, and races. You can plug in old spell lists and monsters. Converting old modules is a breeze. Best of all, I get to play the old settings I have laying around with simple yet more modern mechanics.
Take your father's ancestral sword into the local haunted crypt, and give M&M a try.
This is a great, long adventure in true sword & sorcery style. There is a lot of variety to the encounters (Fights, Chases, interactions, etc) and nice details like nearby scenery which can be interacted with during a fight or chase.
Even if you are not going to run the adventure as is, this product is still a great purchase. You get 7 pages of "Book of Lore" information about the Red Desert, and some details of a city to adventure in. There are several new NPC's, including some generic desert types. Overall well worth the price! Highly recommended for B&B fans.
Upon first look:
+The interior art is great! (Not too hot on the cover)
+The world seems really well developed and LOADED with adventure possibilities and really cool PC possibilities & options.
+The way Illiteracy is handled is well done.
+Damsel in Distress Hindrance looks really fun.
-The Loincloth Edges seem overpowered, but we shall see in play. It would be easy enough to drop if needed.
+Loads of awesome Edges. Many of the Background and Profession ones really add character.
+Wow! Binding Ritual is cool!
+Temptress is nicely done too! Really some great tweaks to the SW rules.
+Only gave the Arcane Backgrounds/Magic a brief look, but it seems cool, and definitely has a real Sword and Sorcery flavor!
+The Item, Armor, and Weapon lists look good. I'm glad to see quality of Items included, and I like the Half-Armor options. The magic of Steel is both weird and cool. If a GM were uncomfortable with it, Steel could always become "Star Metal" or whatever the GM desired really.
Overall I think this setting is very well done and will completely work for the Savage Conan type setting I have been looking for. I was skeptical before purchase, but I am really glad I bought it. I am really impressed how it molds the Savage Worlds system to the setting. Not only can this setting be used as is "out of the box", but it would also work well for a more Saturday morning cartoon setting (with a few tweaks). In fact, I will probably use the ideas contained in the product for several homebrew games. Thanks for adding a great Sword and Sorcery setting to my collection of SW Pulp genres! Can't wait to see whats next!

Big Country
Stuart Adamson (William Stuart Adamson, 11 April 1958, Manchester, England, d. 16 December 2001, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA; guitar/vocals) formed Big Country in June 1981 upon his departure from Scottish new wave outfit the Skids. His first recruit was childhood friend Bruce Watson (b. 11 March 1961, Timmins, Ontario, Canada; guitar), but early plans to work solely as a studio ensemble were quickly abandoned. An initial line-up completed by Clive Parker and brothers Peter and Alan Wishart proved incompatible, so in April 1982 Adamson and Watson brought in Mark Brzezicki (b. 21 June 1957, Slough, Buckinghamshire, England; drums) and Tony Butler (b. 13 February 1957, London, England; bass), two former members of On The Air, a band that had supported the Skids on an earlier tour. A month later the new line-up signed a recording contract with Mercury Records.
Despite several overtures, Adamson preferred to remain close to his adopted home town of...

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, welcomes President Obama's Executive Order to enhance the sharing of cyber threat information and the establishment of a cybersecurity framework incorporating industry standards to protect critical infrastructure. These initiatives are in line with Huawei's focus on standard-setting as well as facilitated information sharing and collaboration among governments and the private sector internationally.
Specifically, Huawei supports U.S. policy designed to "enhance the security and resilience of the critical infrastructure," and to encourage "efficiency, innovation, and economic prosperity while promoting safety, security, business confidentiality, privacy, and civil liberties." As is reflected in the Executive Order, it is essential that governments and private companies work together to facilitate the sharing of timely and actionable cyber threat information, and collaborate to identify standards and best practices that can be assessed, measured, and improved.
"The effort in the U.S. will provide the public and private sector with a call to action for both enhanced information sharing and the development of standards to assist the critical infrastructure companies in protecting themselves. These efforts move beyond discourse and should result in concrete steps to tackle security issues," commented Huawei Global Security Officer John Suffolk. "The time has come to stop talking about the threat, stop talking about the challenges and begin to act, which is what this Executive Order represents."

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Customer review by Miche
First of all, the instructions were not the easiest to follow. Poorly layed out details. Second the left door will not stay in place. It keeps popping out, we have tried pallets underneath thinking maybe it was uneven ground causing it, didn't work. Tried drilling holes into each door corner and used an "L" bracket to connect the corners together better...didn't work. Every time the door is opened it pops out of the hole. Lastly for the price of the item, I agree shelving should have been included with it. Don't know if a recommendation of this item is possible. This is definately something I would normally return for the door issue, however since we had to modify it with the brackets now I can't return it. Don't believe it's worth the money.
Customer review by Alex1838
About 1 month ago I bought a Rubbermaid Vertical Shed larger than this one, so that's why I bought this Rubbermaid Medium Vertical Shed this past week. The sheds are easy to put together and the instructions are simple. The first shed took me about 1 hour to set up and this one took me about 30 minutes. I know these sheds will last forever because of the way they are made. At about the same time I bought a metal shed which is also great but that took me 3 days to put together. Excellent sheds for all my stuff instead of having a messy garage all the time. Everything is organized now

Editorial Reviews
Jazz and R&B icon Gerald Albright is considered to be one of the most innovative and successful artists of the last twenty-five years. With the release of Pushing The Envelope, Albright's super cool side is back. With its polished soul/jazz vibe, Pushing The Envelope is a showcase for Albright's remarkably fine balance of songcraft and musicianship, and features special guest appearances by Fred Wesley on trombone, Earl Klugh on acoustic guitar and George Duke on acoustic piano.
Produced and arranged by Albright, Pushing The Envelope provides the perfect opportunity for this master musician/saxophonist/songwriter to exhibit his skills. He plays soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, flutes, bass guitar, and keyboards, and also handles synthesizer, EWI and drum programming. Albright's band on most of the album includes keyboardists Tracy Carter and Luther "Mano" Hanes, guitarist Ricky Watford and drummer Ricky Lawson.
Pushing the Envelope is easily Gerald Albright's most rewarding session to date. "The title reflects all the tunes on the project," Albright says. "I didn't want to hold anything back. I really wanted to push the envelope and give people a little more edge. I come from the era where we didn't think of a formula - we went from the gut."

This is his 12th solo album in almost 25 years of recording career and fearures special guest appearances by Fred Wesley on trombone, Earl Klugh on acoustic guitar and George Duke on acoustic piano.
It's a pleasant and feel-good set, but do not be fooled by the ironical title.
In fact, if you expect to listen to something edgy and adventurous, you may be very disappointed.
There's no ground breaking on this one, on the contrary Gerald Albright sticks steadly on the Smooth Jazz territory.
Just consider the saccharine-rich version of Burt Bacharach's "Close To You" and the not memorable take on Michael Jackson's "Get On The Floor".
But we cannot say that there are not some good tracks.
The tribute to James Brown "What Would James Do" is at the funkier end of the music's spectrum with guest trombonist sounding uncannily like Fred Wesley.
On the Latin tip, you have another tribute (this time to percussionist Willie Bobo) in "Bobo's Groove" and "I Found The Klugh", which features Earl Klugh on acoustic guitar.
Other highlights are "Capetown Strut", (dedicated the South African city in the occasion of the FIFA 2010 Champonship), which blends Jazz, Pop, Funk and African grooves, and the mellow and very smooth "Road To Peace", dedicated to the Haiti earthquake victims.
"Highway 70" ups the tempo and returns to the funky side of things.
No doubt, the album will do very well on the Smooth Jazz radio Station and Contemporary Jazz Chart, and will appeal to the very man Albright's fans.
It would be nice, next time, to see Mr. Albright playing something really new and not cast of the Smooth/MOR Jazz mould.Read more ›
Sitting at my desk I decided to play it. The first track is "What Would James Do?"
I get to work at 7 a.m. and I tell you, the first cut was better than an espresso shot! I could barely stay in my seat.
What I heard is exactly what James would do.
The entire CD is very nice. There is something for every mood. I listened to it all day long. Very nice mixture of tempos from funk to smooth and back again.
I love it!!!!!!!!!
Gerald, you made my week!
I have been a fan of Gerald Albright's since the early 80s.
His interpretation of music fits my lifestyle and I cannot get enough of it.
Thank you
Can't wait for him to come back to St Louis and play the Pageant again.
What an amazing piece of work by this premier saxophonist.
if track #8 dont put a tear in your eyes then go get your eyes tested for dryness.
well done brother man!!!!!!

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Have you ever seen a shot like this?
We're willing to bet that you haven't.
Marvey'o Otey, a high-school basketball player from Virginia, hit a miraculous one-handed prayer behind his back just before the ball went out of bounds on Tuesday night.
Otey didn't see the ball go into the hoop, as his momentum carried him through an open door and out of the gym.
According to the New York Daily News, Otey finished with 30 points. But his performance wasn't enough, as the newspaper reported that his William Byrd High School Terriers fell to the Cave Spring High School Knights by 10 points.
We're willing to bet that you can't help but watch this video over and over and over again.
Shot of the year? Let us know what you think.

Thanks all for your help. It appears that the problem is natural to film' inability to adjust to differing light temperatures.....Thanks for all your help.

Thank you for staying with us and sharing your experience. We appreciate your kind words. We look forward to your next visit.

Very nice Hotel right in the heart of the actionPosted Jun 10, 2016
Pros: The rooms were clean, quiet, the beds were comfortable. The room was overall pleasing.
Location: It is in the perfect position for the Tacoma Art Museum, Museum of Glass, the waterfront, the Tacoma Convention Center, and so much more.
The Courtyard by Marriott in Tacoma is the perfect place to stay. It is right in the middle of everywhere you want to go. The rooms are exceptional, the Bistro was perfect for food, not quite a restaurant, but there are many near by if you want something more. Every staff member I spoke with was friendly and helpful. I would stay here again for sure.

Love this hotel. Great rooms!Posted May 3, 2016
Pros: The rooms! The staff!
Cons: The mattresses could be better. And there's only one small bistro - no room service, no restaurant.
Location: It's downtown Tacoma so lots of restaurants within walking distance.
We had a GIANT room with 2 queen beds and a pull out. It was a corner room directly across from the convention center. The staff was very friendly.

AlrightPosted Mar 24, 2016 on Hotels
Overall, this Marriott was fine. We were disappointed that the beds were extremely uncomfortable which has not been the case at Marriott hotels in the past. Also, the pool was way too cold. It should be a little heated, especially in the cooler months. We weren't able to enjoy it as we had hoped to. The staff was great and the valet service was awesome. The room was clean. There is a Children's Museum directly across the street which is a nice option if you have kids.
by Michael from Dayton, Ohio
Great Place to Stay - bit overpricedPosted Mar 17, 2016 on Hotels
The room only has a mirror in the bathroom and inside one of the dresser doors - it could use more mirrors and lights.

Tacoma conference center must stay herePosted Mar 16, 2016 on Hotels
Valet was great the option to text to let them know when you need it brought up. The room was very well laid out we had two queen beds and a sofa bed. The in room mini fridge and microwave was an added bonus. We will be back to this hotel anytime we are going to the Tacoma conference center.

Thirty years ago, I bought MOTHER EARTH NEWS to help pass the time while I was a U.S. Navy sailor stationed on an aircraft carrier. I enjoyed reading the magazine from cover to cover — often three or more times per cruise — and I couldn't wait for the next issue. The magazine has inspired me to do many projects.
Recently, I wanted to try growing in a small raised garden bed. I had railroad ties lying around, and I used the ties to build a three-tier, 4-by-8-foot raised garden bed. I drove rebar into the ties (after pre-drilling smaller holes in them) to tie them together. I lined the garden bed with heavy plastic to limit potential contamination to the soil from the railroad ties, and I poked holes in the plastic for proper drainage. Next, I filled the bed with a combination of cow manure and topsoil.
I also made a mini-greenhouse cover for the bed so the crops could get an earlier start. Some of the cover materials I had on hand and some I bought. The cost for the greenhouse cover was $95. Last, I wound a soaker hose around the plants for irrigation.

Topic: Herbs/Forbs, Shrubs
Title: Texas sage near a granite outcropping from Llano TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have a large granite outcropping near my house. There are pockets that have spring flowers growing in them and is just beautiful in the spring. I want to plant other native plants in and about the granite. What plants do you suggest? Someone told me I couldn't plant anything near the rock because it heats up in the summer and cooks the roots. I love Texas Sage. Would a hedge of Texas Sage be possible?
First, the story that not being able to plant anything near the granite slab because it heats up in the summer and cooks the roots. What do you think about the pockets of spring flowers growing already on that hunk of granite? They don't seem to be cooking. And the roots of plants are in the shade, protection and insulation of the earth, quite safe from the reflection of light and heat from that rock. In fact, the density of the rock probably means it is pretty cool inside, too.
Now, on to the Texas Sage. There are two plants native to Central Texas in or near Llano County with the common name "Texas Sage":
Leucophyllum frutescens (Cenizo) - an evergreen shrub
Salvia texana (Texas sage) - an herbaceous blooming plant
Follow each plantt link to our webpages on these plants to learn their sunlight requirements, soil and water needs as well as color and time of blooming. Since you mentioned you wanted to make a hedge, we are going to assume you meant the Cenizo, which is often sold as "Texas Sage." You will note that one of the pictures of this plant from our Image Gallery (below) shows the Cenizo trimmed as a hedge. We prefer it not trimmed too heavily as this removes a lot of the blooms. With some rain, this plant can bloom virtually year-round. And we think it will thrive and be beautiful in front of the chunk of granite.

Torch Song
0 Shouts - 32,113 Scrobbles
Torch Song was a British synthpop and dance band of the early 1980s consisting of William Orbit, Laurie Mayer and Grant Gilbert. In 1985, Grant left to pursue other projects and long-time friend Rico Conning officially joined the group. After the release of 'Exhibit A' in 1987, Torch Song as a group was put on the back-burner while William concentrated on solo work and remixes. He continued to write with both Laurie and Rico and in 1995 they released 'Toward the Unknown Region.' Read more on Last.fm.

Best Of :: People & Places
Suffice it to say that it was an off-year for athletics at the U. None of the major teams performed to expectations, and for criminy: Do we have to pretend to be interested in yet another meaningless bowl game for the football team? That said, there was at least one champion walking around campus this year, and a very big champion at that. Cole Konrad, the Gophers wrestler, quietly won his second Big Ten heavyweight title in as many years in early March, and the team itself won its fourth Big Ten conference championship in five years. True, sometimes good things come in small packages, but Konrad is apparently a good thing that comes in a massive package; he stands 6-foot-4-inches and tips the scales at 285 pounds. This year he racked up a mighty record of 41-0. In fact, Konrad and the rest of the No. 1-ranked Gopher grapplers pretty much ran roughshod over a list of wrestling powerhouses, and received few props in doing so. By all accounts, Konrad, a junior, was the anchor of yet another formidable U squad, joining a long list of golden heavyweights that includes Verne Gagne and Brock Lesner. By the end of March, with the team out of contention for the NCAAA title, Konrad nevertheless was crowned national champion in the heavyweight class. With one more year left, Konrad may go down as the best of them all.
Walk into St. Paul's Turf Club one Sunday night a month, and you'll be treated to an old-timey hootenanny radio broadcast, the likes of which may have never taken place around these parts before. Reminiscent of flatbed-truck revival meetings hosted by Bob Wills and the Carter Family and/or Hank Williams's "Health and Happiness Show," the House of Mercy Band soars on a magic carpet ride of fiddle and acoustic guitar. (If it's a more staid definition of "acoustic" you're hankering for, there are several groovy coffeehouse pickers to be had.) The most frequently heard adjective used to describe the vibe of the HOM's monthly Sunday gig is "cozy," but that doesn't quite do it. Not when Satan is ever present, heathen guest stars abound, and the acoustic can sound like alchemy.
We were tempted to give this award to Zombie's House of Curiosities on University in St. Paul for its unparalleled kitsch value: It's a classic head shop that carries pipes, water bongs, throwing stars, and—in a back room—uproariously trashy smut. But then we stumbled across the Adult Only Superstore on Washington Avenue and our mouths hit the floor. It's a new store—so new as to have an unlisted phone number and, as of yet, no credit-card machine. But this smallish storefront business puts larger competitors to shame with its dazzling variety of merchandise. This is a connoisseur's sex shop, as evidenced by its impressive selection of '70s-era adult movies, many starring the brassy, lecherous Georgina Spelvin, who was 37 when she came to prominence as a performer, and looked it. Also on hand, scattered among the more mainstream products: nonfiction books about the early years of the adult industry, including a bio of Russ Meyers; copies of Found magazine's adult counterpart, Dirty Found; and number of tacky paperback books with garish illustrations on their covers and titles such as I'll Whip Your Ass and Serve Your Mistress. This is a store that evidently views erotica as an adventure, and a surprisingly fun one. After all, among their inflatable sex dolls is one called "Fatty Patty" and another, named "G.I.L.F," whose dubious pleasures we dare not describe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we went with the obvious choice. (We were all ready to crown Prince's new best-of, Ultimate, when we found out its release had been delayed.) But there's something to be said for such an easy decision. The fact that we uncontrollably bob our heads whenever we find the duo in the "A"s of our iPod means they're doing something right. From Slug we get frank talk about the world's problems with drugs (people do them every day and once in a while there are serious consequences) and sex (the rapper's reaction to the rape and murder of an Atmosphere fan is caught in a mournful rumination on sex-offender laws that never once exploits the girl.) Ant's soul-soaked production draws more emotion from his partner's words, spiking the anger and amusement with found sound seemingly created just for them. Atmosphere has claimed this honor before, and who will flinch if they do it again? It's no big thing. They're just that good.
The under-21 music scene is as diverse as any other kind, with a host of small venues catering to young people—community centers, bars with all-ages nights, high school cafés. Yet only one club in town has shows every weekend without age or genre restrictions. Founded in 1999 with backing from the city of Burnsville, the Garage features live music Fridays and Saturdays between 6:15 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. (as well as Thursdays when school's out), and these events routinely fill a cafeteria-sized main room, with adjoining game rooms and lounges. (The organization hopes to expand further in 2008, possibly to include a recording studio, a skate park, or an indoor gym.) This black-lit hall is no minor circuit, either: Bands pass through here to become live legends (Crashing By Design, Down and Above, Screaming Mechanical Brain—formerly Screaming Monkey Boner) and sign with national labels (Four-Letter Lie on Victory, Quietdrive on Sony). Older acts ignore this generation at their peril, and miss out on the most energetic audience in town.
The atmosphere in the Franklin Community Library is jubilant. Children—when they aren't parked with a book in the children's pavilion, teen arena, or stairwell—are run-walking the short maze of the small library's recently renovated footprint, often forgetting to heed the "inside voices" rule. Or they're staring slack-jawed at the kids'-area computer screen in front of them, too heavily weighed down with enormous earphones to be running in and out of the reading rooms. In short, the brightly painted library is consistently bustling with kids and adults taking advantage of its more accessible offerings. Built in 1914, the city's oldest community library reopened in May after an extensive reconstruction effort. The original stone and masonry on the building's facade was restored, as were indoor architectural elements such as the millwork and wood shelving. The elevator—a relic of an earlier renovation—was moved to regain some of the elegance of the front entryway. It worked. Other changes, such as removing interior walls and adding large rooftop skylights, open the library and manage to make it feel more spacious and cozier at the same time. An addition at the rear of the building makes room for a staff lounge, a kitchen, and unglamorous things like the mechanical room and storage space. Near the front, works by local artists hang above fireplace mantles. Above all, Franklin lives up to its name as a community library, with people streaming in and out of the building at a steady pace, some filing to the new tutor and technology rooms, others reading soundlessly wherever they can nab a spot.

TOP HIGH YIELD & EMERGING MARKET BOND ETFs 1 comment
With yields low, investors seeking income are tempted to seek yield in other sectors where real rates of return after inflation can be found. Higher yields have traditionally been found in so-called High Yield (Junk) bonds with even greater historical returns from Emerging Markets. With High Yield bonds a unique condition occurred after the bottom of the 2008 bear market in equities.
Companies once considered investment grade, particularly in the financial sector, suddenly were found in the junk category. As many of these companies were bailed-out or subsidized by the government the sector became more attractive to opportunistic investors. Demand for yield and return of capital also stimulated investors no longer as interested in equities due to previous heavy losses.Back To David Fry's Instablog HomePage »
