Recently, the Bradford County Youth Field Day was held at Mt. Pisgah State Park. During the day, a young participant came up to me and held out a leaf with a caterpillar on it.
The young man asked if I knew what kind of caterpillar it was, and I told him that I didn't but we could find out. I placed the caterpillar in the palm of my hand, and we headed toward the nature center to look through the insect books.
Caterpillars, which are the young of butterflies and moths, have three pairs of walking legs on the thorax (body) and up to five pairs of leg-like appendages (prologs) on the abdomen used by the insect to hold onto plant surfaces and also to climb.
After laying the caterpillar on the counter, I felt a stinging in the palm of my hand. It wasn't long until we correctly identified the caterpillar as a lo, a caterpillar with many-branched spines that are full of poison.
Although the sting to my palm did not hurt, the book states that if the spines penetrate the skin it can be quite painful.
If ever stung by this particular caterpillar, use tape over the affected area to strip off spines and toxin, and then wash with soap and water.
Although the lo caterpillar eats the foliage of a great variety of plants, their favorite appears to be the wild cherry.
In the fall, the insect spins a thin, rather flimsy cocoon among ground litter.
In July, when the lo moth emerges, it will be in late morning or early afternoon and will only take a few minutes. The lo moth then climbs on a plant and hangs on so that its wings unfurl.
Next, the moth's wings are inflated with fluids pumped from its body. This takes about 20 minutes.
An adult lo moth is strictly nocturnal, only flying during the first few hours of the night.
At nightfall, the female exudes a scent from her abdomen to attract a male; while the male uses its large antennae to track down the female. After mating, the female lays eggs and then waits to die.
The male and female do not eat during the moth stage.
During this time of year, we find many insect creatures, and caterpillars are among those frequently seen.
Although only a few of the thousands of species of caterpillars actually sting, there is another caterpillar that you might not want to handle and that is the hickory tussock, or hickory tiger moth. This caterpillar, which feeds heavily on the hickory trees, is mostly white, with black tufts along the middle of the back and four long black hairs (two near the front and two near the back) that can cause some people to have either an allergic reaction or an itchy rash.
The hairs are barbed and would cause complications if contact was made to the eyes.
At this time of year, the hickory tiger moth caterpillar begins to wander, while searching for a place to spin its cocoon. The moth will not make its appearance again until July.
All caterpillars are very interesting, with having only one job to do and that is to eat. The caterpillar's first meal usually is its eggshell.
While in the caterpillar stage, the insect can consume 27,000 times its body weight, and its body size increases 1,000 times or more.
A caterpillar has as many as 4,000 muscles in its body and 12 eyes. One would think that with this many eyes a caterpillar would have good eyesight; however, this is not so. The eyes serve mainly to help the caterpillar differentiate between light and dark.
A caterpillar, which is at the bottom of the food chain, is provided with many types of protection from becoming a bird's snack. There are caterpillars that blend in with the background while others are brightly colored to advertise their poison; some have foul-smelling glands; others display large eyespots to deter birds from eating them, and depending on what it feeds upon the caterpillar can be foul tasting.
The Monarch caterpillar feeds upon the milkweed plant, and because of this both the caterpillar and the butterfly receive the toxin from the plant.
Well, now is a good time to grab a jacket and head for the woods, where, if looking closely, you will certainly find some interesting creatures.

Windows 7
I hate Windows 8.
That is the end of the beginning of this post.
I abhor Windows 8.
I thought I hated Windows Vista, and I still do, but I absolutely detest Windows 8.
Don't talk to me about Windows Me.
So my Sony VAIO (a.k.a. Bester) was dying with a lousy BSOD every other day when doing anything visual. It was running Windows Vista, and I dreaded upgrading because it took me months (MONTHS) to get Vista to be palletable. (User Account Settings suck out loud).
All my computer shopping showed me the awfulness that was Windows 8.
I helped a friend upgrade (The Nameless
County Employee) to Windows 8, and I knew I didn't want it.
To be honest, it would be great in a tablet or touchscreen environment, neither of which I want or have. So Win8 is a waste of time for me.
So I scoured Amazon-dot-com for a Win7 device. It was more expensive, but I think in the long run it will be worth it. (aside: Amazon Prime Trial == Free 2 day shipping!)
So now I'm transferring files from the Old Bester to the New Bester. Lyta here (Linix Laptop) was free so I decided to blog about it, which is what you are reading now.
(and I just witnessed the power settings… gotta fix that)
So now I'm mucking about in Win7.
I heard it was better than Vista, but at first glance I do not agree. (But I have not hacked the Registry yet).
Either way, New PC on the desk; so I had to blog about it.
Share and Enjoy!

TETERBORO — A Teaneck man hurt in a fight with an acquaintance lied to police by claiming he was robbed, leading to the arrest of both men Wednesday morning, authorities said.
County police responded to what was reported as a robbery in progress near Huyler Street and James Hansen Way, where they found 22-year-old Ishmel Wallace with injuries to his face, Bergen County Police Chief Brian Higgins said.
Wallace claimed he didn't know his attacker, but told officers which way the man ran, the chief said.
Bergen County Police Officer Les Lorenc and his K9 partner Harry were quickly on the scene and found 25-year-old Teddy Wilson, of Hackensack, hiding behind a fence nearby, according to police. Officers learned the Wilson and Wallace were actually former roommates and worked together.
"It was also determined there was no robbery attempt and the assault occurred after Ishmel Wallace confronted Teddy Wilson over money he believed Wilson owed him," the chief said in a news release.
Wilson was charged with one count of hindering by flight, police said. Wallace faces charges of simple assault and one count of providing false information.

Rocks are a cheap and easy craft medium. Unfortunately, I do not live near any rivers, so I was forced to pilfer smooth rocks from along back roads and random parking lots. Prepping the craft took some time, because I had to add three layers of white primer, and two layers of base color. Basically, all my tweens/teens had to do was add features and details. It never occurred to me to tell them to apply paint sparingly using even strokes. I should have warned my attendees against globing layers of paint onto their rocks. It took awhile for the paint to dry…even with the help of a blow dryer. Lesson learned. FYI: The Despicable Me Minions went over like gangbusters!

Sweeping changes to Tennessee DUI laws went into effect January 1st which are sure to keep Nashville DUI lawyers busy. One of the new laws may have DUI lawyers down at the courthouse within hours of an arrest fighting for their clients release on bail. A change to one of the bail statutes directs courts not to release defendants charged with DUI who have certain prior convictions "unless the court first determines he or she is not a danger to the community." A Sumner County DUI prosecutor was quoted as saying "If you've got multiple offenses for DUI or you're out on bond for DUI, you no longer have a right to bond," in a recent Tennessean article.
The statute gives no further guidance as to what criteria determine being a "danger to the community." How will Judges make this determination? Will some misdemeanor DUI defendants really be held in custody until trial, which in some jurisdictions can easily take longer than a year?
Tennessee law has long allowed that public safety be considered in setting both the amount of bail and certain conditions to release. Here's a link to the prior statute. But, this represents a significant change which Tennessee criminal defense lawyers are likely to argue violates the state constitution and other prior legal precedents. The Tennessee Constitution, the highest law in the state, has guaranteed any person accused of a crime, other than a capital offense, the right to be released on bail prior to trial for over 130 years.
It is not at all clear how magistrates and judges at the various levels will interpret this statute. Tennessee law provides many avenues of appeal for release orders, and I predict this new statute will quickly become the center of many arguments at courthouses across the state. See Rule 8, Tennessee Rules of Appelate Procedure.

Democrats in House and Senate races rode the coat tail of presidential elect Barack Obama, as the party padded its balance of power in Congress over the GOP.
Democrats picked up 5 seats in the Senate, bringing their number up to 54. Republican have 40 and Independets have two. Still, even with four races undecided, Democrats have fallen short of the magic number 60 for a super-majority.
With the Democrats holding onto their lead, will Congress try to raise taxes despite the recession? Click play to hear more from Barbara Comstock, with the Work-Force Fairness Institute.
In North Carolina, Democrat Kay Hagan unseated incumbent Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole. Hagan became the first Democrat elected to the state's Senate in nearly 40 years. Dole, the wife of former Sen. Bob Dole, was elected senator in 2002.
Voters in the battleground state of Virginia also elected Democrat Mark Warner. The win gave the state two Democratic senators and a Democratic governor.
In New Hampshire and New Mexico, Democratic candidates Jeanne Shaheen and Tom Udall also came out on top. New York was also a win for Democrats.
Meanwhile, GOP leader Mitch McConnell was re-elected in Kentucky.
In the House, Democrats add at least 19 seats to their lead. They defeated six Republican incumbents and captured seven seats opened by GOP retirements. That brings the Democrat majority to 254 seats, with the Republicans hollding onto 184 seats.

Jackson Browne

In many ways,
Jackson Browne
was the quintessential sensitive California singer/songwriter of the early '70s. Only
Joni Mitchell
James Taylor
ranked alongside him in terms of influence, but neither artist tapped into the post-'60s Zeitgeist like
. While the majority of his classic '70s work was unflinchingly personal, it nevertheless provided a touchstone for a generation of maturing baby boomers coming to terms with adulthood. Not only did his introspective, literate lyrics strike a nerve, but his laid-back folk-rock set the template for much of the music to come out of California during the '70s. With his first four albums,
built a loyal following that helped him break into the mainstream with 1976's
The Pretender
. During the late '70s and early '80s, he was at the height of his popularity, as each of his albums charted in the Top Ten. Midway through the '80s,
made a series of political protest records that caused his audience to gradually shrink, but when he returned to introspective songwriting with 1993's
I'm Alive
, he made a modest comeback.
Born in Heidelberg, West Germany,
Jackson Browne
and his family moved to Los Angeles when he was three years old, and by the time he was a teenager,
had developed an interest in folk music. He began playing guitar and writing songs, which he sang at local folk clubs. Early in 1966, he was invited to join
the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
, whom he had met through the L.A. folk circuit. While he was only with the band for a few months, the group recorded a handful of his songs on its first two records. By the beginning of 1967, he had signed a publishing deal with Nina Music, a division of Elektra Records; Nina helped
secure songs on albums by
Tom Rush
Steve Noonan
in 1968. During 1967 and 1968, he lived in New York's Greenwich Village, where he played in
Tim Buckley
's backing band.
also began working with
, who recorded three of his songs on her
Chelsea Girl
album. When their relationship disintegrated in 1968, he returned to Los Angeles, where he unsuccessfully tried to record a solo album and form a folk group with
Ned Doheney
and Jack Wilce.
continued to play local clubs and his reputation as a songwriter continued to grow, with
Linda Ronstadt
the Byrds
recording his songs. By the end of 1971, he had signed with
David Geffen
's fledgling Asylum Records on the strength of his widely circulated demo tape.
Jackson Browne
was released in the spring of 1972, spawning the Top Ten hit single "Doctor My Eyes." Shortly after "Doctor My Eyes" reached its peak position, "Take It Easy," a song
co-wrote with
Glenn Frey
, became
the Eagles
' breakthrough hit. Many songs from his debut, including "Rock Me on the Water" and "Jamaica Say You Will," became singer/songwriter standards, but the album itself didn't establish
as a pop star, despite its hit single. On his second album, 1973's
For Everyman
, he began a long-term collaboration with instrumentalist
David Lindley
For Everyman
was a commercial disappointment, yet it consolidated his cult following.
Released in the fall of 1974,
Late for the Sky
's audience significantly, peaking at number 14 on the charts and going gold by the beginning of the following year.

The success of

's biggest hit, climbing to number seven on the U.S. charts. Divided between love songs and political protests,
Lawyers in Love
was another hit due to success of the hit singles "Lawyers in Love," "Tender Is the Night," and "For a Rocker." Nevertheless, the album also showcased a newlfound social consciousness, which dominated 1986's
Lives in the Balance

Cost Identification and Management
Identify cause and effect relationships to objectively assign costs.
Accurate costing data helps organizations with:
- Set a selling price
- Determine profit drivers
- Better manage the business
- Costing rates to prepare quotes
- Make/Buy decisions
- Identify problem areas
- Set goals
- Measure impacts
- Negotiate with suppliers and customers
- "What if' scenarios
- Capacity management
Implementing Activity-Based Costing (ABC) management allows businesses to accurately gather data about their operating costs and stop guessing. Costs are assigned to specific areas—such as planning, engineering, or manufacturing—and then the activities are associated with different products or services. In this way, the ABC method enables a business to decide which products, services, and resources are increasing their profitability, and which are not.
This approach presents the principles and benefits of Activity-Based Costing (ABC) management. Solutions provided by ABC will be presented, beginning with an overview of the shortfalls of many typical costing systems. Applications focus on the transactional aspects of running a business as well the manufacture of products, or delivery of services. The transactional aspects may include the costs of the relationship with the various material and service providers that must be maintained, as well as the costs of the relationships with customers. Examples of product, production cell, process, value stream or "wall to wall" applications are presented.
Value Stream Costing
Development of a process map with costs over 4 days on a specific product or service
The flow of organizational processes defines your value streams. The efficiencies of all processes are measurable. Time is money —whether assigned to product, materials, engineering, design or information flow. Applying Value Stream Costing identifies wastes and constraints in your current value streams.
Value Stream Costing uses activity-based process modeling techniques to capture cost, time and other operational data along any given Value Stream. It offers a unique view, across the functional silos or departments which enable any business system to:
- fully understand what it costs to provide services to customers
- measure resource capacities and utilizations
- identify process bottlenecks and constraints
- perform what-if scenarios based on changing market volumes
Costing mentoring days are designed to help clients diagnose various costing problems or tune-up an existing model. Issues might include update current activities, processes, products or customers. Other costing mentoring activities might include targeting areas of high cost and developing implementation plans for waste/cost reduction.
Total Asset Management for Manufacturers (TAMM)
Total Asset Management for Manufacturers (TAMM) is a methodology which facilitates decision making regarding asset use, acquisition and profitability. TAMM is targeted for companies seeking to understand how to measure and diagnose equipment performance, reliability and maintainability through data analysis. In addition, this information can then be merged with product costing data to identify production improvement opportunities including increased capacity (higher throughput) and profitability with the current assets.

When Randall coach Leslie Broadhurst looks at the coming season, he sees plenty of similarities between the situation he is in now and the one prior to 1999.
Like then, the Raiders have only two returning lettermen. Like then, an untested group of underclassmen will be called upon to lead a team that advanced to the Region I-4A final a season before.
Still, despite all the similarities, the task at hand may be the most difficult of Broadhurst's tenure with the Raiders.
"We've got a totally different group," Broadhurst said. "We lost eight seniors, and four who were on varsity for three years. We're starting over."
Starting over means playing on without guys like all-state guard Keenan Hooker, inside presence Calvin Nite or feisty guard Garrett Pool. Even Terry Nunley, another dominant post who had been with Randall the last two seasons, transferred to Palo Duro and created an even larger void for the Raiders.
But like in 1999, when Randall returned only Jamaal Hunnicutt and Blaine Mountain, the well is not totally dry.
The Raiders do have holes to fill, but the foundation may be in place to produce another surprising Randall team.
"I don't think we're going to light the world on fire," Broadhurst said. "But these guys have been in our system and know what we want. We'll have to see how well we adjust to varsity basketball not having been in the fire before."
Two keys for Randall will be guards Kendall Webb and Chase Fredman, who figure to solidify the Raiders' backcourt. Both are good shooters and can handle the ball after serving as reserves for Randall last season.
Jonathan Applegate also saw partial time on varsity last season as a junior.
The question mark, though, remains in the post. Players like Tyson Hack, Jared Krieger, Jordan Parr and Grant Singleton all figure to vie for time in the Raiders' starting lineup.
How Randall adjusts during early tournaments in Burkburnett and Hobbs will be one of the team's greatest tests.
But even those matchups should give the Raiders a much-needed boost in one particular area - experience against top teams.
And thus preparing for what figures to be a grueling race in District 3-4A.

What is wrong with the judges,such low score for the components in the World Championship..!!!This is crazy!!!
Next group are now warming up. Ashley Wagner skates last in this group
The interview Universal Sports did with Alissa after her short was heartbreaking and even more torturous for her I think... watching her LP now, it's devastating.
If Alissa is injured, we'll never find out about it. Everyone is going to keep mum. Yuko and Jason know what happened to Rachael.
What happens if Alissa is again the best performer through the GP circuit again next year? Although it's unlikely with the expected Gracie domination and perhaps a revitalized Caroline.
How tame, yet he literally crucified Rachael Flatt. STOP CODDLING YOUR FAVORITE!!!!
By the way, this has nothing to do with Alissa the person, but rather Alissa the skater, but more than anything else Phil Hersh's totally biased articles for those he likes and those he doesn't.
The next warm up group is on the ice. I have my fingers crossed for Ashley. All I can do right now is hope that she does well after Alissa's meltdown.
to be honest i too prefer the wussy princessy type to fangs bared saliva dripping down predator-mode skaters, but... clearly, we have no princesses who pack a dagger in her garter in our armamentarium... or at least we refused to place her top 2.

Buying A Car On Ebay Series
|Email Print
The more I talk to people the more I realize how "surprising" it was that I've purchased two vehicles on Ebay and thought that the perfunctory discussion of my Ebay car buying experience wasn't thorough enough. In the coming days and weeks, I'll write in detail about the second of my two purchases which was a 2003 Toyota Celica in Nov/Dec of 2004.
Right off the bat, I want to warn you that buying anything, especially high-dollar items like cars, on Ebay is risky. The feedback system is weaker for low volume items like cars because unless the seller is a representative of a dealer, you won't find many sellers with 100+ feedback who just sells cars. The time frames for cars, shipment and such, is much longer and thus the 35-day fraud protection window is that much smaller. If you're not buying local you can't see the car (you rely on photos) and you depend on the Carfax report to be accurate which may or may not be the case. There are significant risks to buying a car on Ebay but the rewards may outweigh them.
Currently Published Parts:
- Part 1: Vehicle Choice & Research – This part isn't strictly Ebay related and should be a part of every car search, it gives you a good idea of how much you should be paying for the vehicle you want.
- Part 2: Dissecting An Auction Listing – There are distinct pieces of information and characteristics about an auction that you must look for. The auction listing should give you warning signs if there are any with a particular auction.
- Part 3: Feedback & Contacting The Seller – I don't trust Ebay's feedback system when it comes to auto auctions, before you bid you must talk to the seller and get a feel for what kind of person he or she is. I call it the pre-Ebay feedback system, use it.
- Part 4: Hidden Costs – I discuss the multitude of hidden costs that might not come to mind and will greatly increase the price of your vehicle, such as shipping.
- Part 5: Understanding Buy It Now & Reserve Prices – The relationship between the publicly known Buy It Now price and the hidden Reserve Price is pretty easy to figure out…
- Part 6: eBay Protection Policies – The protection policy is nice but don't buy a car you wouldn't buy without the polic.
- More to come…

It may seem like Google Hangouts has been around forever; but it's actually a relatively recent creation, originally conceived to solve Google messaging fragmentation of yore. Today, its founding mission is almost complete, taking the company's offerings from: Talk, Android's SMS app, Google+ Messenger and Voice to simply Hangouts and, unfortunately for now, Google Voice. What's now called Hangouts, was originally codenamed Babble and we now know Google spent two years working on Babble (now Hangouts) as the messaging service that would merge the company's vast and disparate communication services.
One year later, Google is still moving full steam ahead and adding new features. For instance, they completely redesigned the iOS client and gave it new features (free voice calling) before its Android counterpart. There is a great Chrome extension and the service has undergone cosmetic changes that make it better fall in line with the company's design language. For those who already live in Google's world, there is really no reason to not use it.
Beyond the Android user crowd, Hangouts is very well known and used due to its video chatting feature. It's been adopted by many people, organizations (even the technologically unsavvy ones), and especially news sites to talk with their viewers. It has a low barrier to entrance because it works out of the box with Chrome (now the most popular browser).
"Skyping" has become synonymous with video chatting and is the accepted verb for having a video call with somebody even when not using the now Microsoft-owned service. Skype's permanence in pop culture is set even if not too many people use it anymore and despite the fact it requires downloading an app on PCs that will never beat the instantaneous action of opening a browser window.
My biggest complaint with Google Hangouts is the name; it's hard to make into a verb and generally not very unique. I cannot say something along the lines of we're skyping. The closest thing requires me to say we're "hanging out" Additionally, you cannot say I "skyped" and saying I "sent you a Hangout" is not nearly as eloquent. Google just choose a common word widely used by everybody rather than make up a world to call their service. When I'm already using the instant messaging feature of Hangouts, it's hard to message that I want to go to a video call with the current name. You might say to your friend "Let's do a Hangout" and they may reply "Arent' we are already in one?"
In trying to encompass everything, Google made it hard to distinguish what exactly Hangouts is. Apple on the other hand escaped this problem with FaceTime, which is easily made into a verb (FaceTiming). They also gave their IM equivalent (iMessage) a separate term which makes it easy to tell what someone is referring to.
I myself am I proponent of Google having stuck with the codename 'Babble' -- the word is not in wide usage anymore and Google could have easily associated it with them. But it too has issues like making you sound crazy "I just babbled you dude".
What do you think Google should have called Hangouts? Or do you like the name as is?

Sleeker Designs Bring Modern Cool to the Fireplace
The fireplace, pushed aside by the television as the emotional center of the American living room, is finally fighting back.
Sleek, modern fireplaces, with flush facings, oblong shapes, glittering glass and light-show effects, are designed to fit in better with the sharp angles and edges of modern décor—especially those of flat-screen TVs, which are often mounted right above. These new fireplaces can turn a whole wall into a design element that draws the eye to the fireplace first.
For the $250,000 renovation of his Gilbert, Ariz., home, Ki Ngo, a 40-year-old dentist, wanted a big, new fireplace to be the focal point of the main family room.
But he wanted his flat-screen TV too, and he worried it might fight for attention with the fireplace. Interior designer Angelica Henry combined both on a wall with what she calls "wow factor." The client chose a linear fireplace, rectangular and 6 feet wide, where flames emerge, shimmering, from black glass. The effect "is like jewelry," says Dr. Ngo. The firebox's streamlined shape complements the TV, which is recessed a few feet above. Surrounding both is dramatic dark-wood paneling.
At a total cost of about $25,000, the entire wall is "an architectural element," says Ms. Henry. "It focuses you on the glow of the fire."
Whether powered by a remote control or twigs and a match, a fireplace creates a zone not only for warming cold hands and feet but also for cuddling or celebrating in the primal glow. While no longer an essential provider of light and heat, "it's still conceptually the center of the home," says Seattle architect Betty R. Torrell, who has written about the hearth's history in architecture. "It dominates the room that it's in; chairs are organized around it, it's the focal point." The beauty of fire remains "emotionally sustaining," she adds, "even if it's not physically sustaining anymore."
Traditional fireplaces consist of the firebox, where the actual fire burns, the smoke chamber, which directs the exhaust gases away from the room, and the chimney or flue, which takes them up and out of the home. The mantelpiece facing into the room is a place for displaying family photos or holiday decorations.
Many insist nothing beats the flicker and crackle of a wood fire. But the gas fireplace, which entered the market about 25 years ago, has become mainstream by offering the ease of push-button ignition and less mess. In its early years, the gas flame often looked "too blue," says Mike Pennington, vice president of engineering and product development at Lennox Hearth Products, a unit of Innovative Hearth Products. Today, technology has evolved to create a gas fire that is practically indistinguishable from a wood-burning fire. "Dancing, billowy, yellow flames are typically the target," he says.
Today, 69% of fireplaces sold are gas-fueled and of those, most are "direct vented," not requiring a chimney. Vents can be installed through almost any exterior wall, so that even multi-unit apartment and condominium buildings can have fireplaces. Direct-vent fireplaces are sealed combustion systems: Air from the outside—rather than inside—fuels the fire, and byproducts are vented back outside. The sealed combustion process requires a glass cover on the front of the firebox, to provide a barrier that can keep carbon monoxide from entering the room.
There are downsides. The glass front can get hot—exceeding 500 degrees Fahrenheit. After a number of lawsuits involving small children burning their hands, the fireplace industry, with oversight from standards organizations, has in recent months developed new requirements that manufacturers equip fireplaces with protective barriers by 2015.
Some companies have flush screens that fit on existing glass fronts. Lennox has metal "safety guards" that will fit over any of the company's glass-front fireplaces, and it is offering them at no charge to customers who contact the company. The company is working on developing more "barriers" that will meet the new requirements and look good, too. Regency Fireplace Products, of Canada, says it also is working on designing guards, available next year, to fit units already in the marketplace.
Hologram Images
In some fireplaces, says Walter Moberg, a Portland, Ore., designer, "abstract expressions of the fire have taken the place of the traditional fireplace." These abstract fireplaces might feature images on a videoscreen, holograms or fires that appear to be coming from stars in the sky or directly out of the ground. Such designs can at times be "hard for people to relate to," he notes.
One of the fireplace models Regency introduced this year features a 4-foot-wide rectangular firebox. When framed with a sleek faceplate, the result looks a bit like a computer or a TV screen, and it is popular with designers for that reason. Those shapes "complement each other," says spokeswoman Rachel Romaniuk. Reflective enamel panels inside the firebox amplify the appearance of the flame, and customers can opt for it to emerge from "spa stones," river pebbles or various colored crystals. (The cost is $3,140 to $4,140, installation not included.)
At 54 inches across, Lennox's Rhapsody fireplace is another "wide screen" design, which the company introduced this year. The model provides options for creating a "blinged out" fireplace, says Joe Benedetti, product manager for fireplace products. There's a "designer floor" of crushed crystal glass and an "illusion" panel that gives a sort of light show when the fire is turned off. (Costs range from $4,999 to $8,999.)
Other models include a "see through" fireplace that can be enjoyed from separate rooms (the Montebello See-Through fireplace ranges from $5,999 to $8,999) and three-sided "peninsula" fireplace configurations ($3,399 to $4,999).
In the $2 million renovation of a New York City duplex, designer James Rixner used a three-sided fireplace as a divider between a master bedroom and a sitting area, visible from both rooms.
"This created intimacy on both sides, without visually breaking the rooms up," says Mr. Rixner. The fireplace gives the spare décor some warmth and "balances" a big industrial window, adding counterpoint to the big glass feature. "It's a nice play," he says.
Black and White Design
A new fireplace look doesn't always require thousands of dollars in high-tech gear. In South Pasadena, Calif., a fireplace makeover involved refacing an old brick mantel with a simple geometric design using pine boards, says designer Tamara Kaye-Honey. The boards were painted a glossy white (Benjamin Moore "China White") to blend with matte walls painted in the same color. The firebox's interior was spray-painted black, and a few logs inside were painted white. The graphic black-and-white look suited the scheme in the rest of the home and cost less than $500.
The homeowner, Traci Fleming, says her Southern California gas fireplace is primarily decorative but does function. She loves what it says about home and family.
"It's such an anchor," says the 46-year-old mother of two and founder of a furniture line. She places her children's craft projects on the mantel. Even when it is turned off, she says, "in a weird way, it still has the warmth of a fireplace."

Fry them?
Fry them?
Uh, the point is I don't want to fry them.
Here's a previous post on this: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum...e-french-fries
I haven't tried any of the suggestions, but plan to this weekend. Good luck.
uhh why would you avoid frying them...butter/tallow + sweet potato= very healthy filling meal
You could dehydrate them. Basically this is like roasting them at a low temperature, but you can drive out more moisture since you cannot burn them. I think you would want to bake them for a least a few minutes first though.
Dehydrating is great, however you have to par boil them 1st, or else you get suckie dry chips that are not very appetizing. & it take all night. I dehydrated cooked spagetti squash as an experiment, turned out pretty good. Like spiderweb crackers. no seasonong. kind of a little sweet(only if your primal) CW's would never stomach them plain. I have never gotten sweet potato fries crisp (not burnt) by baking them.
"Don't dream it, be it"
-Dr. Frank-N-Furter
I've double-fried them in lard before, and they came out pretty crispy and very delicious
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
i haven't had luck frying them the same way as regular potatoes - it's like they never get crispy; just more & more soggy. I've had luck getting them to crisp up baking them on a rack over top a cookie sheet, though, so maybe give that a try?
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the wind longs to play with your hair

JACKSON, MI – Brian Stuard's up-and-down day at the Arnold Palmer Invitational has left the Jackson native with a lot of ground to make up.
Stuard, who missed the cut at the Valspar Championship last weekend, finished his opening round at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge with an even-par 72.
But thanks to Adam Scott, who ripped through the course with a 10-under 62, Stuard and the rest of the field have an uphill climb entering the second round. Stuard sits tied for 61st with 14 others, including such notables as Vijah Singh and Lucas Glover.
Stuard started the day on the back nine with a par on No. 10 and followed with his first birdie of the tournament on the 438-yard, par-4 11th. After landing his tee shot safely in the fairway, Stuard soared his second shot over a long stretch of water, which landed just under 5 feet from the hole. He rolled in the putt to go 1-under par.
He followed with two more pars before carding a bogey on No. 14. Stuard parred the next nine holes before shaving off another stroke on the dogleg par-5 sixth. Stuard's tee shot cleared a stretch of water to find the fairway followed by another shot over a stretch of water into the right rough. His chip shot landed within 6 feet of the hole, where he rolled in for his birdie.
Stuard parred No. 7, bogeyed No. 8 and parred the final hole to remain at par on the day.
Stuard will open the second round on the front nine at 12:44 p.m. and will be joined by Luke Guthrie and Daniel Chopra. The Golf Channel will carry coverage Friday from 3-6 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to midnight.

The Catholic Church and women's health: Will a new Pope bring change?
With the resignation of Pope Benedict, does that mean there will be real change in areas where the Catholic Church is seen to be at odds even with its own people? Paedophile priests aside, I wish to focus on the attitude of the church toward women, their health needs, and in particular contraception and abortion. There have been recent events in Europe regarding these issues which are worth discussing.
Jackie Jones, writing for the Irish Times, wrote of her disapproval of a custom in Ireland, a country with strong Catholic traditions, where medical professionals address women patients as "mother". Catholic bishops have spoken about their "two-patient model" regarding maternity services in which mother and child are treated as one unit. Jones' objection is that referring to a woman as "mother" means treating that woman as a role rather than as a person; it implies that women are for breeding, and cannot be considered in separation from that role. Such a stance skews any possible discussion on abortion: "Women have the right to be treated as equal, responsible, capable human beings, independent of any roles they may assume. Women are entitled to medical services in their own right, including abortion."
Ireland is not the only country in Europe where Catholic views have conflicted with the health needs of women. As reported by Der Spiegel in January of this year, certain Catholic hospitals in Germany refused to examine a rape victim. The case was reported by an emergency centre doctor who treated a 25-year-old woman suspected of being the victim of a date-rape drug. After prescribing the 'morning after pill', the doctor contacted two Catholic hospitals, and both hospitals refused to provide the gynaecological examination requested by the doctor and the woman. This refusal was given because Catholic hospitals do not want to be in the position of having to advise victims of rape regarding possible unwanted pregnancies. The case caused uproar in the community, and a defensive reaction by the Catholic Church at the time.
Following that case, as reported recently by the Washington Post, German bishops have now agreed that emergency contraception may be prescribed by Catholic hospitals to rape victims. However, the newly stated stance on this issue only covers contraception designed to prevent conception through, for example, impeding sperm from reaching the egg or preventing ovulation. Catholic hospitals are still forbidden from using drugs which work through interception, dislodging or otherwise affecting an already fertilized egg, in line with the Church's position that life begins at conception. The Church also stressed that rape victims may receive "human, medical, psychological and pastoral help in Catholic hospitals", so long as that help does not involve any method that results in the death of the embryo.
Despite this small concession on behalf of the Catholic Church regarding contraception, the Church is still actively pursuing its anti-abortion stance in Europe, lobbying for law changes within the European Union. There is a campaign called "One of Us", launched in January of this year, calling for countries within the European Union to cease funding of any research and services with respect to abortion, and stem-cell research involving the destruction of human foetuses. This is a follow-up on a European Court of Justice ruling from 2011 that human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection. Currently few countries in the Union have policies in line with the 2011 ruling of the European Court of Justice, and many provide funding to scientific research and international women's services that include offering abortions. The Catholic Church wishes to change this situation and is using every means at its disposal to attempt to do so.
While many may be hoping that the resignation of the Pope might allow for a new direction in the Church, one which may address areas where Church doctrine conflicts with the wishes of its own followers and especially the needs of women, they will likely be disappointed. The concession by German bishops to allow non-abortive contraception in the case of rape is a small one, and while positive, does not address the needs of women enough. If non-abortive contraception is now OK in the case of rape, then why shouldn't condoms or the pill also be OK in general? This, as well as seeking to ban funding for scientific research and support services in areas which may benefit women's health and well-being, makes it clear that the health needs of women remain secondary in the eyes of the Catholic Church, and that this attitude is unlikely to change dramatically in the near future.

Bill would force gun owners to buy insurance
Damages, injuries caused by weapons would be covered
Democratic lawmakers are proposing legislation that would require California gun owners to buy liability insurance to cover any damages or injuries caused by their weapons.
The National Conference of State Legislatures says similar bills have been introduced in other states after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. They include Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York.
The pending legislation, AB231, was announced Tuesday by two members of the Assembly, Philip Ting of San Francisco and Jimmy Gomez of Los Angeles.
Ting equated the idea to requiring vehicle owners to buy auto insurance. Gomez said it would encourage gun owners to take firearms safety classes and keep their guns locked up to get lower insurance rates.
Organizations representing gun owners have said lawmakers should target criminals instead of law-abiding citizens.

System Sensor PC2WH-P 2 WIRE HORN/STROBE CEILING HI CANDELA WHITE -
Custom orders usually ship in 1-2 weeks.
The System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance PC2WH-P is an unmarked,
white, two-wire, ceiling-mount horn strobe with selectable high-candela
strobe settings of 135, 150, 177 and 185 cd.
SpectrAlert Advance outdoor, selectable-output speaker strobes and dual-voltage evacuation speakers meet virtually any outdoor application requirement.
The SpectrAlert Advance series offers the broadest line of outdoor speakers and speaker strobes in the industry. From metal and plastic outdoor back boxes, to white and red plastic housings, to wall and ceiling mounting options, SpectrAlert Advance can meet virtually any application requirement.
SpectrAlert Advance outdoor speakers and speaker strobes can be used indoors or outdoors in wet or dry applications, and can provide reliable operation from -40°F to 151°F. In addition, these speakers provide a broad frequency response range, low harmonic distortion and maintain a high sound pressure level at all tap settings to provide accurate and intelligible broadcast of evacuation messages.
The entire SpectrAlert Advance line, including speakers, provides a plug-in design that reduces ground faults by enabling installers to pre-wire mounting plates and dress the wires before plugging in the speakers. To enable faster installation times, a shorting spring on the mounting plate provides instant feedback to ensure that wiring is properly connected. Furthermore, rotary switches simplify the selection of voltage and power settings. Both wall and ceiling speaker strobes include field-selectable candela settings that enable installers to quickly set each device to meet application requirements.
The speakersÂ' weatherproof plastic back boxes (shipped with product) and metal back boxes (available separately) are designed to accommodate in-and-out wiring for daisy chaining outdoor devices. Plastic back boxes feature removable side flanges and improved resistance to saltwater corrosion. The screw-hole knock-outs located on the back of the back box eliminate the need to drill holes for screw-in mounting. Both weatherproof back boxes come with 3/4-inch top and bottom conduit entries and 3/4-inch knock-outs at the back. Included with each back box is a screw-in NPT plug with an O-ring gasket for a water tight seal.

How to transform your IT infrastructure and drive ROI
12:29, July 15 2014
CBR and Riverbed Technology partner to offer you top tips on making IT infrastructure transformation pay off.
The speed of change in enterprise technologies over the past five years has been astonishing. Trends such as social, mobility, cloud and Big Data have disrupted existing business models. These new technologies represent a significant opportunity for businesses to innovate, improve efficiency, and provide differentiated customer experiences in highly competitive marketplaces. The challenge, however, is to ensure that repeated adoption of the 'next big thing' and next-generation applications delivers maximum benefit and optimal value to the business.
With expectations surrounding what can be achieved through transformational IT projects high, how can CIOs transform their IT infrastructure amidst the fast-paced change of the technology landscape?
Here, Willem Hendrick, senior VP EMEA at Riverbed Technology, offers his very best advice.
1. Embrace change (or it will embrace you)
BYOD, mobility, cloud computing and big data mean that users now have the freedom to make their own IT decisions. For CIOs the challenge is to embrace change whilst ensuring that repeated adoption of the "next big thing" delivers maximum benefit and optimal value to the business and demonstrable ROI.
2. Make innovation a 'business basic'
Organisations acknowledge that the levels of innovation needed to drive their IT strategies forward can only occur by using the right technology. It's imperative that the C-suite highlight technology as a driver of innovation within the organisation.
3. Don't 'leak' value
Our recent 'Transformers' research showed that new technology deployment now accounts for 25% of technology spend. Yet while the importance of maximising technology spend is evident, in practice, new technologies introduced are falling short of their expectation.
4. Infrastructure is imperative
As more diverse and varied applications are added to the network, IT infrastructures are becoming increasingly convoluted. This churn can cause issues if your infrastructure is ill-equipped to handle leading-edge applications. This disparity becomes even more prevalent outside of IT, where business executives are demanding new technologies but aren't tuned into the underlying infrastructure concerns.
5. Optimise technology investment
New technologies are the driving force behind innovation, and if these applications underperform, so does the business. Almost half (46%) of those surveyed in our research said that looking at their spend on IT and networking over the past three years, they could have spent less money and achieved better business results.
6. Make datacentre transformation your new 'mega trend'
Many businesses are investing in the right technology, yet they are not investing in the infrastructure to support the surge in leading-edge applications. Before deciding to invest, IT leaders must ensure these will meet their performance expectations and not undermine the business goals.
IT leaders recognise that data centre performance is a key factor in application failure, but most executives and Board members do not. It's time to put data centre transformation on the boardroom agenda. Only with applications fully optimised and working effectively, can organisations regain certainty over ROI and continue to use technology to drive innovation across the business.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen haven't even started school in New York yet, but they're already planning a trip – to Miami, where they'll be presenters at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, a source tells PEOPLE.
The show will mark their first public appearance since Mary-Kate's six-week stint in treatment for an eating disorder earlier this summer. Sunday's show will offer the 18-year-old stars a chance to personally thank fans for their support, according to the source. A spokesperson for the Olsens declined to comment.
The pair recently moved from Los Angeles to New York, where they're preparing to begin their freshman year at New York University.
Sunday's VMAs also will include appearances by Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Duff, Lenny Kravitz and Jon Stewart, among others, as well as performances by Usher, OutKast, Christina Aguilera, Hoobastank and Jessica Simpson. Top nominees include Jay-Z, who's up for six awards for his gritty black-and-white video "99 Problems," and his girlfriend, Beyonce, who's up for five trophies alongside No Doubt, OutKast and Usher.
