IN THE ever widening field of congenital metabolic defects, those characterized by mental retardation have attracted special interest.1 In some of these conditions the defect has been defined (galactosemia, phenylketonuria, maple syrup disease), resulting in more enlightened management. In others, effective therapy awaits more thorough understanding of the syndrome. The oculo-cerebro-renal (O-C-R) syndrome first described by Lowe in 19522 falls into the latter group. It is a congenital, inherited condition manifested by defects of the nervous system (mental retardation, hypotonia), eyes (cataracts, glaucoma), and kidneys. Biochemical abnormalities include metabolic acidosis, proteinuria, hyperaminoaciduria, and organic aciduria. Twenty-three cases have been reported to date.2-14 The purpose of this paper is to add eight additional cases to the literature and to present clinical, laboratory, and genetic studies of these patients and their families.

Jamieson Ranch Vineyards (formerly known as Reata Winery and Valley Gate Vineyards) is located about as far south as a winery can be, to still be considered a Napa Valley area winery. It is located right off of Highway 12, SE of the city of Napa and is a good "break" winery from the terrible traffic that can plague this part of Highway 12 at times (although plans are in the work to turn the highway into a much needed 4 lanes all the way to the Central Valley. This is the Jamieson Canyon area of Napa, a somewhat similar growing climate to the more famous nearby Carneros region. This is because both areas are located relatively close to the San Pablo Bay. This is the closest Napa winery to Sacramento. You can make it here from downtown in just under an hour.
The inside of the building has a rustic western motif with lots of hard wood and one of the more spacious tasting rooms of any Napa winery (3000 square feet). The property used to be part of a huge cattle and horse ranch. Weather permitting there is a very nice outside deck surrounding the upstairs tasting area. Jamieson Ranch as a winery is very new; 2009 is their first vintage and several wines had already been released from the estate at the time of our review. In order release other varietals (non estate), they have purchased fruit from other areas of the Napa Valley. As a result, they have quite a few wines already available for tasting.
More than 100 acres of Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon are planted around the winery. In Napa, this is an ideal area (along with neighboring Carnerso) to grow cooler weather varietals, most notably, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Other wineries have vineyards in the area including Artessa and Laird. All Jamieson Ranches wines are reasonably priced (certainly not common from a Napa based winery).
The 2009 Viognier is from the estate; the bouquet is pleasing showing notes of cinnamon, baked red apple, aromas of pineapple and hints of lemon. Flavors of pear and white peach show on the palate with a slightly earth finish.
The 2009 Pinot Noir reveals cranberry and blueberry aromas – this wine is very much fruit driven both in the bouquet and on the palate (certainly a part of being such a young wine). Its crafted in a lighter style; a clean easy drinking Pinot Noir. The mouth feel is soft and the wine shows nice acidity. Valley Gate's winemaking philosophy is to try and make wines that are food friendly (this one is a good example) and to keep the alcohol levels lower.
The General Manager who oversees the winemaking operations is Montgomery Paulson who has a background in winemaking at Rosenblum Cellars (known for their Zinfandel). With a background in Zinfandel you would expect good things from their Zinfandel. Their first release is from 2007 and is the biggest wine in their lineup. Red and black cherry show on the nose, its not a spicy bouquet. Expansive fruit flavors, just slightly jammy (blackberry, with a big finish showing broad tannins with just a touch of oak that lingers. This is a good value wine.
With the large facility they have partnered with a local catering company and will be having a variety of events on site including rehearsal dinners, cocktail parties and corporate events. In addition, their winery facility is sizeable (can be viewed from the second floor near the tasting bar). Jamieson Ranch has a partnership with Napa's Bin to Bottle in which a number of custom crush clients use the facilities for making their own wine.
In addition to their walk in tastings, Jamieson Ranch also offers complimentary tours by appointment. There interactive tours explores the wine-making facilities and operation including fermentation area, barrel room and bottling line. Food can be a part of the experience here – with a commercial kitchen on site they offer a variety of food and wine pairings.
Be sure of visit the colorful murals the decorate parts of the outside of the hospitality center. A number of artists were brought on site to paint these. Visit: www.jamiesonranch.com

Given that you clicked on this article, it seems safe to assume you either own stock in People's United Financial (NASDAQ: PBCT ) or are considering buying shares in the near future. If so, then you've come to the right place. The table below reveals the nine most critical numbers that investors need to know about People's United stock before deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold it.
But before getting to that, a brief introduction is in order. Founded in 1842, People's United is one of the oldest financial institutions in the country. And today, it's one of the largest regional banks in New England, with locations in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. It currently operates 418 branches and has $30 billion in assets.
As you can see in the table above, People's United exhibits a number of core strengths. Its net interest margin exceeds the industry average by 16 basis points, showing prudent interest rate risk. Its nonperforming loans ratio is far below its typical peer, demonstrating a convincing handle on credit risk. And finally, it pays out a generous 89% of its earnings via dividends.
On the other hand, People's United's paradoxically low return on equity is indicative of death by a thousand cuts. It's slightly less leveraged than its peers, has a smaller proportion of income generated by fees, and its efficiency ratio is marginally higher. Taken together, the cumulative effect is to drive down its ROE. And what's not represented here, moreover, is the downward trend in the bank's tangible book value per share, which has fallen from above $15 in 2007 to down below $9 today.
Many investors are scared about investing in big banking stocks after the crash, but the sector has one notable standout. In a sea of mismanaged and dangerous peers, it rises above as "The Only Big Bank Built to Last." You can uncover the top pick that Warren Buffett loves in The Motley Fool's new report.

James Dashner's Maze Runner Trilogy is one of my absolute favorites for YA in recent years. A plague, a government experiment, non-stop action and plot twists--Dashner had me from the first book and he didn't disappoint except in making this a trilogy. I wanted more, and sometimes you get what you wish for: last week The Kill Order released and this fabulous prequel to The Maze Runner went a long way toward answering my many questions about the time before Thomas entered the Glade. In fact, we loved it so much around here that we made it one of our picks for Best Teen Books of August.
After writing these four books we figured Dashner might have a good idea of what would be useful to have in the event of an apocalypse (weapons? duct tape? toothpaste? hot dogs!?) so we asked for his Top 10 list of must-have items, you can check it out below.
Earlier this summer we had a chat with the author (who still has a hint of that smooth Georgia accent, btw) and in the video interview below we learned more about The Kill Order, a new series he's launching this month for middle graders starting with The Infinity Ring: Mutiny in Time, AND a new YA series he's working on (!).
James Dashner's Top Ten Things I'd Want During the Apocalypse:
10. Very, very strong sunglasses.
9. Lots of plastic to wrap around my house.
8. A stranger taken in who happens to be the smartest, ablest doctor in a thousand years.
7. A server containing every show that's ever been on HBO and a nice entertainment system on which to watch it all.
6. An ereader loaded with 5,000 books.
5. A generator and a gas refinery next door to provide fuel so I can watch all those shows and charge my ereader.
4. Deodorant that smells like a rotting dead body so zombies think I'm just one of them.
3. Lifetime supplies in my basement of the following: hot dogs, Almond Joys, potato chips, and Mountain Dew.
2. A cloaking device to hide my house from the tyrannical, evil, bloodthirsty government that will inevitably spring up.
1. Oh, and my wife and kids.

Here's what you do if you're a filmmaking idiot:
1. Give your teen film the title of a teen film that's already been made, like the Richard Linklater movie "Slacker," to confuse people needlessly.
2. Get a guy to star in it like Jason Schwartzman, who's already been in a teen angst film (called "Rushmore") to confuse people needlessly.
3. Find a great-looking chick with a male name (James King) to star in the thing so when the target audience (i.e. young guys) look at the credits, they'll think that there are no chicks in the film and become both confused and despondent.
Did I mention that this film shows the fake breasts of a 70-year-old woman? Jason Schwartzman's character gives a sponge bath to a grandmother who has the breasts of a porn star because they're obviously fake -- I can only surmise that they were added in preparation for the day when a part would call for a grandmother to demonstrate that the plastic surgery industry has finally gone too far. I would have been more aroused if the doctors had sewn the decapitated heads of two different zoo animals to this woman's chest.
Schwartzman is "cool" Ethan, the college geek. He discovers the cheating antics of three guys, Dave (Devon Sawa), Jeff (Michael Maronna), and Sam (Jason Segel), in a college physics course. Ethan offers to keep his mouth shut in exchange for the guys using their skills to get him the hottest girl in school, Angela (James King), as if Angela had absolutely no say in the matter. The guys try, but Dave and Angela fall in love, and they must stop Ethan from turning them in and ruining their college careers.
If you take the number of farting and masturbation jokes in this film and divide it by the I.Q. of the director, you actually get a whole number. The pain I felt watching "Slackers" was, at times, on the same level as "I Am Sam." However, the farting and masturbation jokes mediated this to some extent. That these were the film's most accomplished moments speaks to the complete ineptitude of the rest of it.

Recently my husband and I spent three nights at the Dubach Inn! We cannot say enough good things about experience. We have stayed at other B & B's, and none compare. The location, accommodations, and service were awesome! Kristine and Steve have put a lot of thought into making a customers stay warm and personnal. We came to restore ourselves and definitely left feeling rejuvenated. Lastly, the breakfasts were incredibly delicious and unique!

I recently spent three nights at the Dubach Inn and will definitely return. The owners of the inn were so welcoming, accommodating, and provided everything I needed for my get-away. You can really tell that they are passionate about their work which was very evident in the service I received.The inn is beautiful, well taken care of, and very cozy. The breakfasts were amongst the best I have had in a bed and breakfast. I would highly recommend the Dubach Inn
4.6 on October 30, 2012
The location and ambience of the Dubach Inn were superb. We had easy access to the sights and sounds of old Hannibal. The Inn was appointed in a turn of the 20th Century way and the early morning coffee delivery to your door was outstanding. The cherry on our terrific stay was innkeepers knowledge about and enthusiasm for the local area's heritage, services, activities, and personalities. How easy it was to journey back to the 1830's and 40's of Mr. Twain, Mr. Sawyer, and Mr. Finn. Highly recommended!

This was our first time staying at a B&B and I can think of nothing that could have made it better. We stayed in the Fette Suite and it was perfectly cozy and relaxing. Kris made reservations for us which stripped even more stress away. Fantastic doesn't even come close to describing how delicious the breakfasts were. And last, but certainly not least, was how friendly, welcoming and warm Kris & Steve are. We plan to forego hotels for B&B in the future and will stay nowhere else in Hannibal!
5 on August 21, 2012
My wife and I stayed at the Dubach Inn for five nights, using the B&B as a hub for trips to St. Louis and elsewhere. The Dubach Suite (our room) was a small apartment with a separate entrance, small kitchen and sitting room. It was perfect for us to spread out, settle in and relax after a big day of caving, river boating, site seeing, kayaking, shopping and everything else. The breakfasts were all quite good. We received good advice about area destinations and restaurants from our hosts. We enjoyed everything about our stay. Dubach Inn is a great place to stay, located close to the Mark Twain sites and was all we expected and needed. We were quite pleased.
5 on August 17, 2012
My Husband and I stayed at the lovely Dubach Inn. We had the Dubach Suite which is ADA compatible. Hostess Kristine described the room thoroughly before we made reservations and we were pleased once we arrived that we were able to navigate a manual wheelchair with ease throughout our room, dining room and sitting room. Kudos to Innkeepers Kristine and Steve for providing a room for individuals with special needs! Our breakfast was scrumptious and enjoyed visiting with Kristine and her daughter Lindsay. The Inn is also conveniently located. It's within walking or rolling distance to mainstreet where you can discover historic downtown Hannibal.
4.4 on May 15, 2012
We really had an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Steve and Kristine were very helpful with sugestions for places to eat and things to do.
5 on March 12, 2012
We have stayed here several times and are always so glad we came. The food is just incredible, I can't say enough about it! Everything is clean and pleasant, and we always enjoy our stay.
5 on January 07, 2012
I had the opportunity to spend 3 nights in the "jungle room" the first week of November along with my girlfriends. The breakfasts were AMAZING and both Kristine and Steve were the perfect hosts. We enjoyed sipping wine on the front porch and the comfortable sitting areas of their beautiful inn. The trolley tour was a blast and a great way to see the city. I hope to visit again and bring my husband. I know he would love it too. Absolutely the best B & B I've stayed at!
5 on November 10, 2011
After my first visit to the Dubach Inn two years ago with my husband, I was finally able to return and bring 3 girlfriends with me for a 5 day girls getaway. We stayed in the two bedroom suite, and made full use of the shared living room. It totally met our needs, and although I knew how fabulous the Dubach Inn was, the others were as amazed as I was following my first visit. My main comment about the Dubach is how absolutely comfortable I am made to feel during my stay. Not only is the house immaculate, but Kristine and Steve go above and beyond in making sure we are comfortable and cozy during our stay. The entire place is clean. The beds are very comfortable (unfortunately, they were so comfortable I slept through a thunder & lightning storm which I would have preferred to watch). Each breakfast was unique and delicious. We had a different menu each day of our stay. I will dream about Kristine's white chocolate apricot scones! Both Kristine and Steve clearly love what they do, and their enthusiasm adds to engaging conversation during breakfast. They also made helpful recommendations of fun and unique things for us to do during our stay in Hannibal. I highly recommend the Dubach Inn for your stay in Hannibal, whether you are traveling solo for business, planning a romantic getaway, or traveling with a group of friends. You won't be disappointed.

The largest atheists and agnostics group in the U.S. has installed its own "holiday" decorations at Washington state's Capitol this year.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation was granted permission to put a "Winter Solstice" sign in the Capitol building for the entire month of December.
"Our members want equal time," Dan Barker, the group's co-president, said. "Not to muscle, not to coerce, but just to have a place at the table."
The placard first appeared Monday alongside a Christian Nativity scene and "holiday tree" in a hallway between the state Senate and House chambers.
It reads: "At this season of the Winter Solstice, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds."
The back of the sign says "State/Church: Keep Them Separate."
The group also has a "Reason's Greetings" billboard positioned in downtown Olympia. The FFRF Web site claims the displays are to bring "free-thinking cheer" to the city.
All Capitol displays, including the tree and Nativity scene, are privately sponsored.
Last month, a billboard put up in California telling onlookers to "Imagine No Religion" was removed after complaints from residents.

I told the truth and got a ticket | Letters
I got a ticket, explained my case to the judge and had the fine cut in half. I was pleased with it as I told the truth under oath.
Now, before I took my turn, there was a litany of people telling the judge under oath that they did not know who was driving their car. Really?
So their case got dismissed and no fine whatsoever.
Is this justice really?
It was so clear that they were all lying through their teeth.
Just tell me if you do not know who is driving your car at any time of the day and night? More so when you got a fine…
So far for being honest or a liar.
What does it tell us about the legal system?

Einmo Marketing Services
This is the best kept secret in American Business today...the secret that the Small Business Administration doesn't want you to know. It's the secret I share with readers in my new book: Don't Bid! and the secret I offer on this website.
My clients have earned over $500 million of government contracting sales without bidding on government contracts. These small business owners increased their revenues from 20% to 62% utilized existing resources and sold existing products or services. How did they do this? Rather than bidding on contracts directly, they marketed themselves to large prime contractors who had already won the large government contracts. They became subcontractors to the prime contractors, or in contract speak a Sub-to-the-Prime.
To benefit from government spending, without bidding on contracts, a small business owner needs only 3 key abilities to become a Sub-to-the-Prime:
- Adaptability
- Credibility
- Sell-ability
If you and your company can adapt to changing criteria, possess suitable credentials in your industry, and can effectively sell your products or services…then you can grab your slice of the government spending pie and have your most profitable year yet!
This website contains a wealth of information…..Read the free articles, signup for the newsletter to learn insider tips, for complete information buy a copy of Don't Bid!, or contact me to arrange a personal conference for one-on-one expert assistance...I am here to help you and your company win without bidding!

The article by Regier et al1 should become a classic for mental health epidemiology. It marks the end of the third generation in mental health epidemiology, and one can draw important conclusions for the future.
Clearly, important discrepancies exist in the prevalence rates between 2 similar US population surveys for mental and addictive disorders that had been "planned to give estimates of the need for treatment." Regier et al have made a scholarly effort to compare the findings of 2 surveys that they expected to have given similar results. The Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) study was done in 1980 to 1985 using DSM-III and the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS). The National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) was done in 1990 using DSM-III-R and the University of Michigan Composite International Diagnostic Interview (UM-CIDI) as a partial "replication" of the ECA. After all, the surveys and instruments were of the same ancestry, so they should not differ wildly. Whatever one could possibly do to control for these differences between these 2 surveys, the authors have already compared in the article. You almost have to become an "ECAologist" rather than an epidemiologist to compare these 2 surveys: the instrument (DIS vs CIDI?), the diagnostic criteria (DSM-III vs DSM-III-R?), or special survey style (screening questions were put up front in the UM-CIDI; there was a commitment probe), the samples (ECA urban centers vs younger NCS sample?), and the algorithms (scoring in different styles).

A quick look at the Duke-North Carolina matchup:
When and where: Wednesday, 9 p.m. ET (ESPN), Dean Smith Center, Chapel Hill, N.C.
Setting the scene: This is the most hyped college basketball rivalry, but Wednesday night's game will have a different flavor than most Duke-UNC matchups. That's because Duke has far fewer sure-fire NBA prospects than usual. Yes, the NBA scouts will flock to the Dean Dome for the game, but there might be more future pros on display in the Kansas-Baylor matchup in Waco the same night. And there's also Syracuse-Georgetown, too.
In fact, freshman guard Austin Rivers might be Duke's only NBA lock, although Mason Plumlee is sure to get a look. Fortunately for scouts, North Carolina is loaded with future pros. Harrison Barnes is a franchise player, and Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Kendall Marshall have first-round skills while P.J. Hairston, Reggie Bullock and James Michael McAdoo might well develop into NBA players down the road.
Duke's big concern: Considering the disparity of talent, Duke actually matches up well against North Carolina. Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has plenty of big bodies to bang Zeller and Henson. The worry is how to defend UNC point guard Kendall Marshall, who ranks second nationally with 9.8 assists per game. He also ranks second nationally in assist-turnover ratio at 3.42. UNC can be an "offensive juggernaut" – Krzyzewski's words – but only if Marshall is free to roam and set up teammates. Duke must keep Marshall out of the lane in the halfcourt and focus on hustling back on defense to limit his fast-break opportunities. Look for Tyler Thornton to get more minutes than usual, but Krzyzewski will use Quinn Cook and, at times, Seth Curry to help wear down Marshall.
North Carolina's big concern: Duke is not devoid of talent; it just lacks much elite-level talent. Only Rivers can get his own shot, so Seth Curry and Ryan Kelly and Andre Dawkins rely on precison and picks to get good looks. UNC's perimeter defense is the team's biggest weakness, exacerbated by the season-ending injury to Dexter Strickland. Defending Rivers and his wicked cross-over dribble is a big worry, but the greater sin will be to drop off the shooters or big men to provide help. The rest of the Duke lineup is quite guardable, so long as the defense pays attention and doesn't get sucked in by Rivers. UNC coach Roy Williams can live with Rivers getting 20-plus, just so long as he doesn't distort the defense and allow Curry and Kelly and Dawkins to get 15 apiece, too.
Pivotal matchup: John Henson vs. Ryan Kelly. Josh Hairston might get the start again for Duke, but Kelly is sure to get the majority of the minutes at the power forward spot. Henson is averaging a double-double (14.3 points, 10.0 rebounds) and has been Carolina's most consistent player this season. He is the club's best defensive player and has developed into a steady producer with jump hooks and baseline turnaround jumpers. Kelly, on the other hand, has had an up-and-down year. A 45.3 percent 3-point shooter, Duke needs Kelly to knock down shots to get the shot-blocking Henson away from the basket and allow Rivers to drive the rim.
Bottom line: This could well come down to the health of Barnes. He has hardly practiced the last week because of a sprained ankle but still managed 13 and 18 points the last two games (though he needed 12 and 15 shots to get to those numbers). If Barnes isn't more efficient Wednesday night, Duke can pull the upset. If Barnes (6-8, 210) is healthy, he'll have no trouble shooting over Dawkins (6-4, 200) or Rivers (6-4, 200) on the perimeter or mid-range. Duke is sure to test Barnes' ankle immediately, driving the ball on him. If it holds up, that'll be a big edge for UNC.

Medalist Upset at 113th Pacific Northwest Men's Amateur Championship
No. 1 seed Dale Brandt-Richards of Sydney, Australia, was defeated by Tye Gabriel of Portland 2 and 1 in the opening round of match play in the Pacific Northwest Men's Amateur at Palouse Ridge Golf Club in Pullman, Wash.
Gabriel finished stroke-play qualifying right on the cut of 5-over 145. He made it through four playoff holes to claim the 64th and final seed in match play.
"I couldn't make any putts; I putted pretty badly in the stroke play," Gabriel said of his Monday round. "But, in the playoff I made a couple putts that got me some momentum, and I feel that those putts really gave me some confidence. That was the difference between the stoke play and today, just my putting."
His putting was crucial in the Tuesday bout with Brandt-Richards, who had carded only a single bogey in 36-hole qualifying rounds. In their match, Gabriel made five birdies to Brandt-Richards' three, including a 30-foot bomb on the 17th hole to secure the victory.
Gabriel knew who he'd be facing in match play but felt up to the task. "I honestly wasn't too concerned with it, because I had been hitting the ball really well," he said. "This course sets up well for me, and I knew if I could just get to match play, that anything could happen. So I actually went in pretty confident, because I finally made some putts in the playoff."
Frank Garber of Kirkland, Wash., who carded the low round of the championship, a 7-under par 63 in the second round of qualifying, was taken to extra holes by playoff qualifier Dillon Jahns of Othello, Wash. Garber, the No. 3 seed and 2013 Pacific Northwest Junior Boys' Player of the Year, birdied the 19th hole to stave off the upset bid by Jahns.
Brothers Andrew and Aaron Whalen of Ephrata, Wash., both made it to the Round of 32. The chance to meet each another could happen in the quarterfinals if they both advance.
A second potential family reunion could occur in the Round of 16 between Clayton and Cole Madey of West Linn, Ore. Clayton, the No. 52 seed, upset Kennewick, Wash., native Nicholaus Mandell 5 and 4.
A total of five matches went to extra holes Tuesday, all but one of which ended on the first playoff hole. The final match of the day, between Californians Matt Seramin of San Geronimo and Jordan Weir of El Dorado Hills, went 20 holes and ended when Weir made birdie.
Wednesday's Round of 32 starts at 7:30 a.m., and the first tee time in the quarterfinals is at 12:30 p.m.
Past champions of the Pacific Northwest Men's Amateur Championship include Tiger Woods, Jeff Quinney, Ben Crane, Jeff Coston, Nick Flanagan, Jim McLean and PNGA Hall of Famers Chandler Egan, Harry Givan, Jack Westland, Bud Ward and George Holland, among others. After winning the 1994 championship, Woods said, "The PNGA Men's Amateur will always be very special to me since it's my first men's amateur victory."

Eagle Paint and Wallpaper's comments on General Finishes and RTM
Courtesy of Eagle Paint and Wall Paper Blog Post
General Finishes may be a new name to most reading this blog post, because their primary focus is not on their image or appearing to be the biggestâ theyâre concerned with being the best. Having the best products, and having the best support for retailers that they can is their goal. Those who have had hands on experiences with their stains can say with certainty that itâs remarkable. One of our favorites here is the Ready to Match stains. This water based stain system is virtually a toy-box to us here; the 140 4x5in chips allows us to match even some of the most obscure colors customers have requested! The colors possible from this system donât stop at 140- by going between colors using the deep rich tints, we can match virtually anything. The tint strength alone is something other stains just do not have.
For example: Recently a customer brought in a burnt orange stain, on 100 year old chestnut wood. It was aged, and had a deep patina finish. Thereâs no way to duplicate that with any other stain. With the RTM system, Van Pisarri (our stain maestro) could find a chip near it, and use the excellent tints to match the color perfectly. He was even able to match the aged look- he was not stuck with the typical âclear plastic finishâ that other products can have! Further, these stains retain this richness, as a VOC compliant waterborne! For those not familiar with paint industry jargon, thatâs a remarkable feat. This is performance that other oil base stains, (Which in general are superior to waterborne products) arenât capable of! This VOC compliant waterborne has a minimal odor, a fast drying time (allowing for several coats in the same day), and isnât flammable.
This excellence continues through General Finishes other product offerings as well. Their Enduro-Var water base looks like an oil, flows like an oil, but works like a typical water base. It dries in an hour, as opposed to the 8 thatâs typical of oil stains. Itâs two times harder than other water base topcoats! Itâs ideal for floors, kitchen cabinets, etc. The durability is excellent. Even their Gel Stain offerings are excellent, again possessing deep rich colors. Succinctly stated: Every niche is covered. Product to product, every offering is dialed in, and an improvement on whatâs out there.
For those curious about the company and their ethos, let me state: Theyâre a company that stands by its products, its dealers, and its customers. This is a model that nearly every business will tell you they follow, but few really do. This model is worthy of mention as several larger companies are now shifting towards a different mindset. Being frank, in a recession, other companies have put quality on the chopping block for consideration, and raised their prices on retailers. In recent days, support from them is nearly evaporating. In the down economy, some companies have opted to take more of the pie, making up for lost revenues by milking it from independent retailers. General Finishes, Farrow and Ball, just to name two, have not engaged in these practices.
The Bottom line: Itâs a very ethically run small company, putting out top tier products that are straight out better than other offerings.

James Earl Jones, thunder-voiced actor of stage and screen, is the recipient of the 2012 Marian Anderson Award, Mayor Nutter announced Monday, citing Jones' "culture-changing" theater roles and his "iconic" work as the voice of Darth Vader in Star Wars.
The honor named for Anderson, the Philadelphia-born contralto who lifted her voice in the fight for social justice, will be presented to Jones at a Kimmel Center gala, Nutter said. Previous winners include actors Sidney Poitier, Gregory Peck, Harry Belafonte, and Mia Farrow, and poet Maya Angelou.
In the announcement, Nutter called the award "one of Philadelphia's greatest cultural events." He described Jones as a fixture in American life, noting Jones' varied roles.

After a three-year stretch without an NCAA Tournament win, Florida reached the '11 Elite Eight for the fourth time under Billy Donovan and captured the school's third outright SEC regular-season title.
It was a nice answer to critics who felt Donovan had lost his touch after winning back-to-back national titles in 2006-07.
Matching the March run, however, will be a challenge.
"We'll have a different team than we've had the last two years because we've pretty much lost our frontcourt," Donovan said.
Last season's SEC player of the year Chandler Parsons (11.3 points, 7.8 rebounds) and Alex Tyus (9.1 points, 6.2 rebounds) were three-year starters, and Vernon Macklin (11.6 points, 5.4 rebounds) started two years.
"Anytime you lose that kind of experience, it's difficult," Donovan said. "Depth in the frontcourt is not what it was a year ago, but I do think we have some returning players who can step into those roles."
Donovan hopes athletic sophomore Patric Young will emerge this season. The 6-9 forward, who has added 10 pounds of bulk to his already impressive frame, showed promise during the NCAA Tournament and averaged 9.7 points and a team-high 6.8 rebounds in nine games for Team USA at the FIBA Under-19 World Championships.
"People look at points and rebounds for him to have a big year," Donovan said. "For us, it's his energy level and him being able to stay on the floor for extended minutes and be productive. The key will be rebounding, defending, using his athleticism, playing with energy and passion and being consistent. That's a big jump for him to take."
The Gators also need 6-10 Erik Murphy, 6-9 Cody Larson and 6-7 Will Yeguete to become productive players along the front line. Murphy and Yeguete combined to average 17.9 minutes last year, while Larson redshirted as a freshman.
"Murphy needs to make a big jump," Donovan said. "That's important for us."
Florida's backcourt should be outstanding, which will test the theory: Is it better to be good in the backcourt or the frontcourt in the SEC?
"I don't know," Donovan said. "We have some interesting pieces to this group that I'm excited about, because I think there's a lot of intangibles they bring to the table that can impact winning."
The backcourt is led by the team's two leading scorers: 5-8 Erving Walker (14.6 points, 3.4 assists) and Kenny Boynton (14.2 points). Each has scored more than 1,000 career points. Walker had an outstanding season, hitting several game-winning shots, and he led the team in steals (41) and 3-point shooting (38.5 percent). Boynton led the team in 3-pointers made (80) and shot 82.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Scottie Wilbekin provided a spark off the bench and joins two newcomers — Gatorade National High School Player of the Year Bradley Beal and Rutgers transfer Mike Rosario — to give the Gators arguably the best backcourt in the SEC.
Beal is a great scorer, solid all-around player and terrific athlete. He will make an immediate impact, even in the Gators' crowded backcourt. He is the 13th McDonald's All-American signed by Donovan. And Rosario averaged 16.7 points as a sophomore and 16.2 as a freshman at Rutgers.
"Brad Beal is arguably one of the best high school players in the country," Donovan said. "Rosario is a terrific scorer and a proven college player."
Donovan also has praise for Casey Prather, a 6-6 sophomore wing with some talent.
"It's a young team that I think has got a great attitude," Donovan said. "But we've got a lot of guys whose roles will really change."
The question remains: Is Florida's deep and talented backcourt good enough to carry the team?
Not entirely. But if Young and one other big man emerges, Florida will make the NCAA Tournament for the 12th time in Donovan's 16 seasons in Gainesville.
Bradley Beal — G, 6-3, 207, Fr., St. Louis
Kenny Boynton — G, 6-2, 189, Jr., Pompano Beach, Fla.
Cody Larson — F/C, 6-9, 231, Fr., Sioux Falls, S.D.
Erik Murphy — F/C, 6-10, 230, Jr., South Kingstown, R.I.
Walter Pitchford V — F, 6-10, 221, Fr., Grand Rapids, Mich.
Casey Prather — G/F, 6-6, 212, Soph., Jackson, Tenn.
Mike Rosario — G, 6-3, 191, Jr., Jersey City, N.J.
Erving Walker — G, 5-8, 177, Sr., Brooklyn, N.Y.
Scottie Wilbekin — G, 6-2, 178, Soph., Gainesville, Fla.
Will Yeguete — F, 6-7, 222, Soph., Bourdeaux, France
Patric Young — F/C, 6-9, 247, Soph., Jacksonville, Fla.

Engaged Pa. couple accused of biting each other
DANVILLE -- Police in central Pennsylvania said an engaged couple face assault and other charges for an altercation in which they allegedly bit one another.
The Bloomsburg Press Enterprise reported Monday that Darlene Frymoyer, 23, of Danville, and Joel Whitesell, 22, of Catawissa, were accused in the Aug. 17 incident.
The paper reported that Frymoyer admitted she bit him but said he also bit her, on the back, and slammed her down.
Court papers say Whitesell admitted to slamming her on a roadway. Authorities said he has a bite mark on his neck, and she has one on her right arm.
They were each charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and harassment.
Neither had lawyers listed in the online court docket. They didn't have listed phone numbers.

Linux withdrawn from sale
Nobody wants it, apparently
By Nick Farrell: Tuesday, 11 March 2008, 8:02 AM
LINUX computers are to be taken off the shelves at WalMart because the
supermarket giant claims that customers don't want them.
Wal-Mart spokeswoman Melissa O'Brien told AP that punters wanted Windows
more and were not interested in the fact the Linux machines were cheaper.
Wal-Mart has been testing demand for Linux with an open-source operating
system "Green gPC," made by Everex. However while they sold OK from the
outfit's e-commerce site, shop customers were apparently avoiding them like
However this might seem strange to most people as Wal-Mart actually sold out
the in-store gPC inventory and then decided not to restock. µ

Scott Harrison back
Former world featherweight champion Scott Harrison has been granted back his licence after a six-year absence from the ring.
The British Boxing Board of Control made the decision after the 34-year-old's case was backed by the Scottish Boxing Area Council.
"It's a nice early Christmas present for Scott and for Scottish Boxing," said SBAC chairman Bernard Connolly.
"We hope he returns to the standard he was."
Harrison failed with a previous attempt to regain his licence in 2008 and was again unsuccessful in October.
In April 2009, Harrison was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison after being found guilty of attempting to steal a car and assaulting two men in the vehicle as well as a policeman in October 2006.
The Glaswegian beat Victor Santiago to become WBO featherweight champion in 2002, lost it in 2003 to Manuel Medina but regained it from the same opponent later that year.
However, after pulling out of a title defence in May 2006, he checked into the Priory Clinic in London citing problems with depression and alcohol.
He was later stripped of his WBO title and his licence to box - and declared bankrupt.

Why fasting makes sense
My first encounter with Christian fasting was in a Russian kitchen in the provincial city of Krasnodar in 1991. It was November and my host, a university professor, was preparing the evening meal at the beginning of the Orthodox fast called Little Lent, which is a bit like what Catholics and Protestants call Advent. While we boiled and chopped beets, carrots and potatoes, she explained that we were making a fasting salad. She added pickles and parsley and tossed the salad in sunflower oil, salt and pepper before serving it with brown bread. Olga Nikolaevna observed a partial fast—no meat and no dairy products—for the four weeks of Little Lent, and she continued to fast in various ways throughout the year. Fasting, for her, was a small piece of her religious devotion.

"In Middle Ground, Kacvinsky presents a compelling argument for the lost art of conversation, set against a dark version of our possible collective future. Maddie is a pleasingly reluctant heroine, resulting in a story that is as fresh as it is timely."

Considering I have had the privilege of meeting so many people through Tenderfeet Stitches, I thought I should share more about myself. I am Amanda, the motivation behind TFS. My love for sewing began when I was just a child and my mother made me the perfect little 80's play outfit with what I dubbed an "air conditioning" built in. It had this atrociously cute feature of knotted bows adorning the back. I was so proud to wear that get-up and explain to everyone, whether they asked or not, the true function of the open back design. At this young age I wasn't allowed to use her Phaff machine or the antique Singer with it's big wheel and peddle, but I was intrigued by how they worked and how they helped her make such lovable things. I took up a needle and thread and would go to work on scraps of fabric with shoddy embroidery work. After high school, I joined the United States Air Force and one of my first larger purchases was a sewing machine and enough fabric to look like a hoarder. I didn't even own a cell phone or a computer yet. I went to work on a quilt I never finish, but many more successful projects followed. After marriage, came our baby girl. When she was born I took up sewing children's clothing. I wasn't very good at it because I am a bit stubborn and prefer to learn things the hard way. Within a few years I had it down to my own science and was on the hunt for better patterns. When I couldn't find what I was looking for I began the journey of designing my own. It has been a thrilling journey, one in which, I have met some amazing people. I opened Tenderfeet Stitches on Etsy as soon as I discovered the existence of such a fabulous DIYer's haven. Since then, I have started teaching classes at a local fabric store, The Quilter's Market. I really love sharing that feeling I get when I successfully complete a garment. I can only hope that my children will discover the same joy and love within the things I create and that I can pass on the tools to others so that they may share such feelings with those they love.

AK Clone. I would imagine this has been solved but I could not search it out. What is causing the bolt and carrier to stay in the back position. It feels like it is hanging up. Makes me want to file something. Is it supposed to stay back?

Route 103 back openStaff Report | July 09,2013SHREWSBURY- Mud slides closed a portion of Route 103 for about 90 minutes Tuesday night.
Around 6 p.m., state police and firefighters from East Wallingford, Mount Holly and Shrewsbury responded to a portion of Route 103 north of Mac's Market in East Wallingford and south of the village of Cuttingsville when afternoon rains triggered a mudslide that descended down the hills on the east side of the highway.
Exactly what triggered the mudslide was unclear Tuesday night. The Mill River, which runs parallel to Route 103 was swollen and muddy following afternoon showers, but for Art Seward, chief of the East Wallingford Fire Department, the incident was both unheard of and immediately inexplicable.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Seward, who has resided in the area for 49 years. "There's a possibility there was a beaver dam or something up there that just broke loose with all the rain."
On the north side of Route 103, state police detoured motorists trying to travel south onto Route 7B to Route 140 in Wallingford. Travelers heading north out of Mount Holly on Route 103 were detoured to Route 140 and back out onto Route 7.
By 7:30 p.m., a heavy equipment operator for the state Agency of Transportation had removed enough bucket loads of mud the road for it to be reopened to traffic.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

HATTIESBURG, Mississippi -- The misery of last season has extended into 2013 for Southern Miss.
The Golden Eagles committed six turnovers in dropping a 22-15 decision to Texas State in both teams' season-opener Saturday night at Roberts Stadium, ruining Todd Monken's coaching debut and running their losing streak to 13 games. Southern Miss was the only NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision team not to record a victory in 2012, and hasn't won since beating Nevada 24-17 in the Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24, 2011.
"You get what you deserve, and we deserved that loss," Monken said. " ... We earned that one. You can't drop footballs, you can't make turnovers. I don't care what level you're at."
Southern Miss (0-1) rallied from a 14-3 halftime deficit to briefly take the lead at 15-14 in the fourth quarter, but Texas State (1-0) methodically drove 75 yards in seven plays for the winning touchdown. Bobcats quarterback Bradley Arndt kept 17 yards for a touchdown, then hit a diving Bradley Miller for two points and a seven-point lead with 2:54 remaining.
The Golden Eagles had two more possessions, but Allan Bridgford was sacked on fourth down at his own 25 on the first and then threw an interception at the TSU 46 with five seconds to play. The Bobcats, a second-year FBS program coached by former Alabama and Texas A&M head man Dennis Franchione, then took a knee for the victory.
"We have got to find a way to take better care of the football," Monken said. "We made, at least offensively, a number of mistakes. Some of that's kind of expected as young as we are, but it's still unacceptable."
Despite the six turnovers still had several chances to win the game. After a bad TSU snap rolled out of the end zone for a safety to make it 14-5 late in the third quarter, the Golden Eagles drove for their lone touchdown to pull within two.
Following a 33-yard return of the free kick by Emmanuel Johnson, Bridgford hit Rickey Bradley for 59 yards on first down. Two plays later, he connected with James Cox on a 6-yard score and the Golden Eagles trailed 14-12 with 24 seconds left in the third quarter.
The Southern Miss defense then forced their fourth straight three-and-out, and the Golden Eagles drove for Corey Acosta's 36-yarder with 5:43 remaining to take a brief lead before the Bobcats' game-winning drive. Acosta's 41-yard field goal accounted for the Golden Eagles' first points with 21 seconds left in the first half.
Bridgford, a California transfer, completed 28 of 53 passes for 377 yards and a touchdown while under constant pressure. The Bobcats sacked him three times, and intercepted him twice.
"(Southern Miss) is a proud program and a hard place to come win," Franchione said. "I know they didn't have a very good year last year, but that's a good defensive ballclbu. They're going to win some games this year."
Bradley was Bridgford's top target, totaling 193 yards on seven receptions. Holmes, a freshman from Tylertown, added 12 catches for 96 yards.
The Golden Eagles rushed for only 23 yards on 24 carries, and all but abandoned the ground game in the second half. Southern Miss was 5 of 20 on third down conversion attempts.
Texas State opened the scoring when cornerback Craig Mager stripped Holmes after a short completion in the first quarter, and dashed 44 yards to give TSU a 7-0 lead with 11:32 left. TSU's other touchdown came after a 29-yard punt return by Andy Erickson, with Jordan Moore hitting Robert Lowe on a 23-yard screen pass for a touchdown to make it 14-0 with 8:52 left in the second.
There appears to be no end in sight for the Golden Eagles' losing streak, with three consecutive road games at major conference opponents coming up. Southern Miss travels to Nebraska and Arkansas the next two weeks, then has an open date before traveling to Boise State Sept. 28.
• Ocean Springs native Alan Howze was Southern Miss' leading tackler with nine tackles. The senior linebacker added 2.5 tackles for loss.
• Redshirt freshman Jerry McCorvey started at bandit end for the Golden Eagles. The Vancleave native recorded four tackles, 2.5 for losses.
• Speaking of tackles, Southern Miss quarterback Allan Bridgford had three, a symptom of the Golden Eagles' six turnovers.
• Southern Miss is now 0-3 all-time against Franchione, who beat the Golden Eagles in both 2001 and 2002 while head coach at Alabama.
• Holmes' 12 receptions made him the first Golden Eagle to break double-digits since Ocean Springs' Kelvin Bolden had 10 against UAB in 2010.
• The breakout performer for Southern Miss was Bradley, a former junior-college transfer who did not catch a pass in 2011. Bradley's father, Rickey Sr., played running back for the Golden Eagles in the late 1980s.
• Not even the winless 2012 team had five turnovers or as few as 23 yards rushing. The Golden Eagles' high in turnovers last year was five (accomplished twice) and low rushing total was 51 at SMU on Nov. 10.

The forthcoming biopic about artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, which director Mike Leigh first expressed an interest in making in 2010 and in which actor Timothy Spall recently signed on to star, has also gained the interest of Sony Pictures Classics, Deadline reports. The studio has acquired the rights to distribute the film in North America, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.
Leigh is scheduled to begin shooting the as-yet untitled film imminently, with a release date sometime in 2014. In addition to the international distribution deal with Sony, he has been granted access to the many Turner paintings in the collections of the U.K.'s National Gallery, Tate Britain, and the Royal Academy.
The National Gallery's Turner holdings consist of 10 paintings, mostly seascapes, while the Royal Academy has far more extensive Turner holdings, including dozens of drawings, etchings, and his traveling watercolors case. Tate Britain's collection of Turner's work is similarly extensive, spanning small sketches and studies to some of his most iconic landscape paintings, and the self-portrait he painted at age 24 (above).
"Turner as a character is compelling," Leigh explained in a statement quoted by Deadline. "I want to explore the man, his working life, his relationships and how he lived. But what fascinates me most is the drama that lies in the tension between this driven eccentric and the epic, timeless world he evoked in his masterpieces. I also see rich tragic-comic potential in his often turbulent relationship with the English Art Establishment, especially in his later years, when his increasingly radical work was misunderstood and derided."
