Krupinsky (eds.), Proceedings from Dynamic Cropping Systems: Principles, Processes, and Challenges. 2003. p. 265-268. Aug. 4-7, 2003. Bismarck, N.D. Interpretive Summary: Although summer fallow stabilizes dryland crop yields, it degrades soil through increased erosion potential and limits profitability. This paper discusses the potential for making flexible crop choice decisions regarding short season spring crops based on soil water and economics. Such a system could respond to the highly variable climatic and economic conditions existing in this region as producers transition from summer crop production back to winter wheat.
Technical Abstract: Summer fallow has played a significant role in dryland cropping systems in the Central Great Plains for many years. Although it helps to stabilize crop yields, summer fallow jeopardizes the long-term sustainability of dryland systems by degrading the soil resource and limiting profitability. We argue that a dynamic system involving flexible fallow, whereby a grower's decision to transition from a summer crop to winter wheat with a short-duration spring crop or summer fallow is based on several dynamic factors including soil water and economics, would be preferable to a static system incapable of responding to the highly variable climatic and economic scenarios indicative of the region.

It's a bit of a guilty pleasure, and it turns out that it is also one you can do for free!

Re: Invading Your Heart
How might the world have been different if kitties had invaded Troy? Though some kitties (lacking the polydactyl gene, and thus possessing no thumbs) are less useful with spears than others, the Trojans could have been so overcome by the adorability (yes, I made that up) of it all that the Trojan War would have ended with cuddles and snuggles instead of a blood bath. Maybe. Kitties are sneaky...and maybe they would have just eaten the Trojan's faces in their sleep...with kitty kisses...yeah.

The 2013 Detroit Auto Show kicked off this week and Autoweek editors recognized the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis Concept as the "Best Concept" in its 2013 NAIAS Editors' Choice Awards. "The HCD-14, the latest in Hyundai's long line of conceptual offerings, could eventually become the next Genesis sedan in production guise - and that would take the Korean automaker to yet another level of sophistication in styling as well as technological prowess," said Autoweek editors.
"You look at this elegant sedan and say, 'That's a Hyundai?' This is a gorgeous concept car," adds Davey G. Johnson, senior online editor, Autoweek.
This year at NAIAS, Autoweek editors voted on 59 Detroit Auto Show vehicle reveals, choosing a Best in Show, a Best Concept, a Most Significant and a Most Fun vehicle. For a look at all the picks.
"We instilled the HCD-14 Genesis with a premium-sport 4-door coupe road presence," said Christopher Chapman, chief designer, Hyundai Design North America. "It has a sleek and lightweight silhouette and inside, a driver-centric cockpit prioritizes dramatic sculpture and safety over infotainment button overload. HCD-14 Genesis gives a hint of the spiritual direction we can imagine for our premium lineup, and an indication of the focus we're placing on the intuitive and instinctual relationship between driver and machine.
HCD-14 Genesis features state-of-the-art driver eye-tracking and hand-gesture recognition, thumb controls or gesture recognition used to select navigation, infotainment, audio, HVAC, and smartphone connectivity functions. A windshield heads-up display (HUD) provides minimal driving distraction and the concept's powertrain features Hyundai Tau® V8 engine with direct injection and Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT).

Just shop around, all depo headlights are the same. Warranty can be bought on angel eyes. Eagle Eyes taillights are the only ones that acutally work with no errors. DEPO LED taillights will throw errors like no tomorrow. Eagle Eyes is DOT and proven, keep with what works and gives you less problems.
If you want the best, I highly suggest going on ebay and buying yourself a set of OEM headlights, you will never get anything better than that, that is plug and play. You can always do a retrofit but that is more money out of your pocket, I think that is the last thing on your mind. Before you buy just browse around and look for a nice used set of oem headlights, you will be more happy in the end. I am for DEPO but if you can pay the same price for OEM and just replace the lens to get a set of headlights that look just as new, this is the best option for ya.

By Steve Wieberg, USA TODAY
There was a time not so long ago when most of college football's head coaches would covet the deal Tennessee laid on its new defensive coordinator, Monte Kiffin, who this season gets a $1.2 million salary, a $300,000 bonus for staying through the end of the regular season, up to another $100,000 in incentives and the use of two cars.
It's the richest but far from the only lucrative arrangement for an assistant, USA TODAY found in the first comprehensive, school-by-school and coach-by-coach look at pay for entire football staffs in the NCAA's top-level Football Bowl Subdivision.
Five universities are paying their assistants an average of more than $300,000 this year. Three are in the cash-rich Southeastern Conference: LSU, Alabama and Tennessee.
Beyond Kiffin, a former NFL assistant hired by his son, Lane, four other assistants are guaranteed at least $600,000 this year: Texas' Will Muschamp ($900,000), Tennessee's Ed Orgeron ($650,000), Florida State's Jimbo Fisher ($629,000) and Washington's Nick Holt ($600,000).
More than 100 of the 893 assistants for whom USA TODAY was able to obtain contract or other compensation information are making $250,000 or more. One in four have multiyear contracts, including half a dozen with five-year deals as schools — often at the behest of head coaches — move to keep them content and in place.
"You ask any football coach who has his wits about him, any head coach," California athletics director Sandy Barbour says, "and he'll tell you the key to success is continuity and consistency in his staff."
College football's highest-paid overall staff, folding in the head coach's compensation, works at Oklahoma, where Bob Stoops is guaranteed $4.3 million this year and his nine assistants will total nearly $2.5 million before bonuses. Alabama and LSU also boast $6 million-plus staffs.
SALARY DATABASE: Search for coaches and see actual contracts
STILL RISING: Economy can't slow salaries of football coaches
SLOW RESPONSE: Some schools make it hard to gather salary data
Assistant football coaches' contracts with NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools can be more than a matter of salary. USA TODAY's A.J. Perez compiled a list of some of the more unusual provisions of current deals:
•Call of duty: Air Force assistant coach Lt. Col. Darryl Sumrall and Army assistant coach Capt. Clarence Holmes are on active duty. Two Air Force coaches, Charlton Warren and Jemal Singleton, are classified as administratively determined employees, making them federal civil service workers.
As such, the U.S. Military Academy reports Holmes as having no coaching salary. The Air Force assistants are reported as having salaries, but they are not eligible for incentive bonuses, as is the rest of the Falcons staff.
•Job security: Alabama offensive line coach Joe Pendry, 62, has a provision in his contract that will guarantee his employment until age 65 as a "regular part-time employee, at the then prevailing federal minimum wage" if his contract is terminated without cause.
•Come on back: Georgia coaches can get a retention bonus of up to $50,000 if they stay on staff for certain periods of time, the term of which varies by coach.
•A reason to stay: Tennessee defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin will earn a $300,000 bonus if he coaches in the Volunteers' final regular-season game, an amount that decreases by $100,000 each season through 2011. Kiffin also has the potential to make $100,000 in performance bonuses each season and will receive his seven-figure salary if he's terminated without cause.
•Not just the big boys: Western Michigan is a rarity among schools in conferences that lack automatic BCS bids: The school's assistants each get retention bonuses. The payouts range from $5,000 to $7,500 and are paid no later than March 31 each year.
•Talent fee: UCLA offensive coordinator Norm Chow is scheduled to have his annual "talent fee" increase from $50,000 to $140,000 on Feb. 15. He will also get a $250,000 retention bonus if he's still at the school for the 2010 spring practice, although he would have to repay it if he's fired for cause or if he leaves without cause before the end of the 2010 season.
•In the classroom: Assistants at Central Michigan are classified as full-time instructors and could be assigned by the athletics director to teach courses.
•Not just a coach: Virginia considers its assistants non-tenured lecturers in the department of athletics, according to letters of appointment sent to each coach.
•Filling the seats: Each East Carolina assistant gets $2 for each full-season ticket package sold after the first 15,000.
•Taking it in stride: A clause in the contracts of Fresno State's assistants calls for them to "downplay defeats by not dwelling excessively on them." Assistants also are instructed not to make direct contact with university officers and members of the school's board of trustees.
•Keeping track: Assistants at many FBS schools are eligible for courtesy vehicles or car stipends, but those at Houston have to comply with some strict requirements. They have to document their mileage and submit a report monthly for mileage reimbursement and are limited to 20,000 miles a year if they use a courtesy car.
•TV time: Oregon State defensive coordinator Mark Banker earns $10,000 a game under the Pacific-10's TV contract after a fourth game, a provision that could be worth up to $80,000. Banker can also earn bonuses based on the Beavers' statistical rankings, a clause similar to what other assistants at Oregon State have in their contracts.
•For a price: Maryland offensive coordinator James Franklin and defensive coordinator Don Brown each had buyouts from their respective contracts at their prior schools paid by Maryland — $51,500 to Kansas State for Franklin, $25,000 to Massachusetts for Brown.
•Max bonus: Seven of Oregon's nine assistants are working under a bonus structure that could mean an extra $274,208-$324,000 if every target is hit. The laundry list of bonuses includes $750 for being in the top three in the Pacific-10 in kickoff coverage and $4,000 for having the best third-down conversion defense in the Pac-10. In total, there are 70 incentives for defense/special-teams coaches and 59 for offense.
•Grades matter: San Diego State assistants get no bonus money — even for a national title — unless the team's scholarship players' average GPA is at least 2.3, at least 75% of the scholarship players have at least a 2.2 GPA and the team's APR is at least 925. The coaches also wouldn't get bonuses if the football team exceeds its expense budget.
•Quick money: Washington defensive coordinator Nick Holt received a $200,000 "one-time retention incentive," payable 30 days after he signed his contract. He also is scheduled to get a raise next season of $50,004, which would boost his guaranteed annual earnings to $650,004.
•Thinking long term: Of the six assistants in the nation with five-year deals, half are employed by Oklahoma State: co-offensive coordinators Gunter Brewer and Joe Wickline, and associate head coach Joseph DeForest. (West Virginia associate head coach John "Doc" Holliday, Wisconsin offensive coordinator Paul Chryst and Illinois running backs coach Reggie Mitchell are the other assistants with five-year deals.) Every coach at Oklahoma State is working under a multiyear deal, with running backs coach Robert Gillespie possessing the shortest contract (two years).
•Rocket security: Toledo is the only non-BCS school to have all nine assistant coaches under multiyear deals. Each Rockets assistant is working under a two-year contract with the Mid-American Conference school. The Sun Belt's Florida International has eight of its coaches under multiyear contracts.

Few questions on Polishers...
I was planning to buy something better but my dad just bought this. http://www.harborfreight.com/power-t...der-92623.html
What do you guys think? Can I use good pad's like Lake on it? Would I need special adapters etc? I plan to use 3m 105 and follow it up with 205? What else would I need to polish a car? I'll work on getting a better polisher later but for now i'll try to make do with this.
Re: Few questions on Polishers...
that baby will roast your paint in a heartbeat in the wrong hands. use caution. Its a hook and loop pad thingy...but they are 7"....thats a little large for foam pads. try to find a 4-5" hook and loop for it.
Re: Few questions on Polishers...
It's an adjustable speed, if I use a slow speed on it will that solve the paint burn problem? I figure mid speed should be about 1600rpm or so? It does come with a foam pad but i'm sure thats crap. I'm going to give it a shot on an old truck I have this with some better pad's and Meguiars 105 and 205 so if I mess up it wont be on my jeep. :D Are more pad's like Meguiar and Lake velcro backs? Hopefully I will have some before and hopefully good after pics later this week.
Re: Few questions on Polishers...
I would not recommend you use that on your Jeep. I have a HF rotary and it is horrible.
Re: Few questions on Polishers...
It all gos back to the addage "You get what you pay for".
Re: Few questions on Polishers...
For most hobbiests a porter cable type random orbital is a much safer option.
A full rotary buffer can do a lot of damage in seconds. Better in the hands of an experienced pro.
Don't touch your paint with that, you will burn right through the clear coat. Spend the money on a porter cable and come lake country pads, I used an Orange light cut pad and a Black finishing pad, along with meg's 105 heavy cut compound and 205 finishing compound.

Re: Few questions on Polishers...
Those 20% off Harbor Freight coupons are pretty hard to resist...
Google The Junkman for tips on restoring auto finishes.
No no no, if you are serious about restoring your paint go to detailed image and look at the detailing guide, its the best detaiking guide iv ever seen.

Re: Few questions on Polishers...
I bought some 105 and 205 and 2 meguiars pad's today a light polishing and a finishing pad, I have a faded as hell dump truck i'm going to try it out on since im not too concerned about ruining the paint. I paid like $107 at PepBoys for a 32oz 105, 205, and the 2 pads. it seems really high does anyone know if anyone has any sales on them? I might return them and buy the 8oz instead. I think the 105 was like $39 and the 205 was like $29 plus $15 for each pad. I'm going to use the polisher on the lowest speed and keep it moving. I'll take some before and after shots of the faded red paint on the truck and you guys can let me know how it works before I hit my Jeep.
Use detailed image, their stuffs a little less but that stuffs expensive. And bro, I'd really think about taking that to your jeep before you do it, you might think keeping it on a low speed and moving will prevent damage, but it can still do damage. There IS a HUGE difference between that and the porter cable, I HIGHLY suggest you go on the detailed image site and read the detailing guide before you even think about touching the jeep.
Please don't think I'm tryin to hate, I just would hate to see ya do damage you the jeep, if you have any questions on how to use the products ask, I know quite a bit about them, and a lot of guys on here can help. And yes, return those pads and get lake country hydro pads from DI, the ones at pep boys will even further increase the chance of damage, yes there is a difference in the pads.

Re: Few questions on Polishers...
You think the supplies are expensive, wait till you get the bill for the new paint job.
The clear coat on a Jeep is very thin, and if you go through it to the color coat, you are toast.
A two part finish only has so many times it can be buffed with an agressive pad or compound. You will not know you have burned through the clear coat till it is too late.
If you see color coming off on the pad it's over.

The wood is oak. What caught our eye was the compass decorations used in conjunction with the hooks to make a more interesting piece that is normally very utilitarian. Both the carpentry work on the board and the non-symmetrical compass designs have a charming rustic simplicity to them.
The board originally had tabs on either end likely to hang on the wall. The ends have broken out the the intent is visible. The board does not appear to have ever been painted or finished although we suspect it was oiled in the early days. Modern saw-tooth picture hangers were added to the back to facilitate display. The board measures 32" wide by 7 1/2" tall and is 1" at its thickest point.

text: I run a 32/36 DGAV and I just removed the plastic bushings on the primary throttle shaft for a set of bearings, this is an upgrade offered by Weber. now I have a bad vaccum leak at each end of the throttle shaft. I followed the instructions (even watched the video on youtube) and have taken it apart twice now. Vacuum leak isn't present when its running on the idle circuit only, but as soon as i turn the throttle speed screw up it starts to stumble right away and is off the chart on my wide band. I know this is the source of the leak as I have sprayed carb cleaner everywhere and it picks up as soon as I spray it at the shaft. I just cant figure it out. Hoping someone here has an idea, as you guys are definatly the Weber/Opel gurus. THX

UPDATE: The state Department of Natural Resources has clarified an earlier report and says its estimate for property losses that a lahar could cause in the Puyallup River Valley is $13 billion, including contents. The figure of $6 billion does not include contents.
A new state report says a volcanic mudflow from Mount Rainier – known as a lahar – could cause up to $6 billion in property losses in the Puyallup River Valley.
The study released today by the Washington Department of Natural Resources projected property damage using loss-estimating software and data on several previous lahars from Mount Rainier.
"We now have a much better estimate of the economic impact of a major lahar flowing from Mount Rainier," said state geologist Dave Norman. "It's not a question of if, but when, the next volcanic event will occur."
Here's the news release:
June 6, 2012
Mount Rainier lahar losses could reach $6 billion or more in Puyallup Valley
New DNR report examines likely scenarios for a major volcanic mudflow from nation's most hazardous volcano
OLYMPIA – A new report from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) estimates that a volcanic mudflow (known as a 'lahar') from Mount Rainier could produce property losses of up to $6 billion to communities in the Puyallup Valley.
"We now have a much better estimate of the economic impact of a major lahar flowing from Mount Rainier," said Dave Norman, Washington State Geologist and manager of the DNR Geology and Earth Resources Division." It's not a question of if, but when, the next volcanic event will occur."
The DNR report, "Loss Estimation Pilot Project for Lahar Hazards from Mount Rainier, Washington," is based on data about several previous lahars from the volcano. Using loss-estimating software developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the report projects potential property damage costs if similar mudflows occurred again on Mount Rainier's west side, as many geologists anticipate.
Due to the weakened rocks that make up the upper west flank of Mount Rainier, the Puyallup Valley is considered highly susceptible to lahars. Lahar-related flooding has the potential to reach as far as the Commencement Bay and Elliott Bay, including the ports of Seattle and Tacoma.
In concert with the report released today, DNR has produced an online interactive map that allows users to track the potential pathways of lahars from Mount Rainier. The online map and today's report are designed to assist emergency response, mitigation planning, and community preparation for lahar-prone areas.
Mount Rainier has produced major lahars every 500 to 1,000 years and smaller flows more frequently. The most recent major lahar to reach the Puget Lowland was the Electron Mudflow about 600 years ago. It was more than 100 feet thick at the community of Electron and as much as 20 feet thick at Orting.
Lahars, which have the consistency of wet concrete, can be caused by volcanic activity when an eruption of lava or hot gasses melts a glacier. They also can be produced by avalanches and earthquakes.
The DNR study was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

'Riders' Pimentel rough on Cardinals
Rangers right-hander takes no-no bid into sixth in one-hitter
By Ashley Marshall / Special to MLB.com | May 23, 2013 9:49 PM ET
Carlos Pimentel has a simple plan of attack when he gets two strikes on a hitter -- bring the heat. If that fails, get them with the breaking ball.
Pimentel carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and finished with eight strikeouts over seven innings in the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders' 1-0 win over the host Springfield Cardinals on Thursday.
"I felt great. I had my command and I threw well," Pimentel said. "Everything was working, my fastball, my slider and my changeup. I used my slider a lot today and I threw my changeup when I was behind in the count.
"[0-2 or 1-2] I like to come with a fastball away. Then if that does not work, I come back with a slider. I was aggressive and I attacked the hitters."
The 23-year-old right-hander issued two walks and threw two-thirds of his 90 pitches for strikes in improving to 6-1.
Pimentel worked around Ruben Gotay's two-out walk in the first inning and he used a strike-him-out, throw-him-out double play to erase Xavier Scruggs' free pass to lead off the second.
After that, the native of the Dominican Republic cruised. He retired 13 batters in a row -- including striking out the side in the fifth. Mike O'Neill broke up his no-hit bid with a ground ball to center field with two out in the sixth, but Pimentel set down the final four batters he faced before turning over a 1-0 lead to his bullpen.
"He hit a slider," Pimentel said of O'Neill's base hit. "Every time I had two strikes on him, I came in with a fastball. I thought he would guess fastball again so I threw a slider and he got it. It was low, but he got it.
"If I got [the no-hitter], I got it. If not, then not. After, [my teammates] said congratulations."
On Thursday, Justin Miller struck out two batters in the eighth and Wilmer Font worked around a pair of walks in the ninth to pick up his seventh save and seal the one-hitter.
First baseman Brett Nicholas singled home the only run of the game with an RBI single to left field in the sixth.
Springfield starter Tim Cooney (2-1) allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters.

Originally posted on Project Spurs | Last updated 11/28/12
No one could've thought the San Antonio Spurs would come out firing in a blowout against the Washington Wizards on Monday night after a double overtime game against the Toronto Raptors. With an older "Big 3," most might have expected the Spurs to fold this game and give the Wizards their first win (now 0-12). Instead, they come out energized as if they had a day off the day before. In a game where no Spur touched the 27 minute mark, the typical fan might have thought the box score may be a balanced one with no one really standing out. Then we have Tiago Splitter.....again. It might have been the lowly Wizards, but Tiago topped his performance against the Boston Celtics with 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists. That's impressive, but this is the stat line that makes it extremely impressive: 7-8 on free throw shooting. Coach Gregg Popovich attributed Splitter's overall success this year to his confidence coming from his free throw shooting. It might not be a pretty shot (not worse than Shawn Marion's anyway), but it goes in and that's all that matters. This active Tiago Splitter is the big man the Spurs and its fans wanted when they signed him. His big games take the burden off of Tim Duncan's shoulders (and at times ailing knees). With Boris Diaw and Matt Bonner having outside shots, Splitter has the paint to himself to do work and is a good passer in case of double teams. His balancing of offense and defense can also give more options for a small ball lineup, a lineup that's successful with Duncan on the court as the center most of the time. While this game is certainly a bright spot for Splitter, it also will burden him with expectations. We've seen what he can do, one against a worthy opponent and another against the worst team in the league. Either way, both teams have NBA quality players that are some of the best in the world at their craft. The Orlando Magic are going to host the Spurs on Wednesday night, which shouldn't be too much of a challenge for San Antonio without Dwight Howard protecting the basket. The game Tiago's supporters and his doubters will be looking at will be the following night where the Spurs travel to Miami to play the Miami Heat. The game will be a back to back, but we've seen what he can do during the second game of one. Now the ball is on Splitter's court and how he will respond against the defending NBA champion Heat with the league's most valuable player in Lebron James.

From the Division of Respiratory Medicine and Department of Clinical Dental Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC.
Study objective: To compare efficacy, side effects, patient compliance, and preference between oral appliance (OA) therapy and nasal-continuous positive airway pressure (N-CPAP) therapy.
Design: Randomized, prospective, crossover study.
Setting: University hospital and tertiary sleep referral center.
Patients: Twenty-seven unselected patients with mild-moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Interventions: There was a 2-week wash-in and a 2-week wash-out period, and 2x4-month treatment periods (OA and N-CPAP). Efficacy, side effects, compliance, and preference were evaluated by a questionnaire and home sleep monitoring.
Measurements and results: Two patients dropped out early in the study and treatment results are presented on the remaining 25 patients. The apnea/hypopnea index was lower with N-CPAP (3.5±1.6) (mean±SD) than with the OA (9.7±7.3) (p<0.05). Twelve of the 25 patients who used the OA (48%) were treatment successes (reduction of apnea/hypopnea to <10/h and relief of symptoms), 6 (24%) were compliance failures (unable or unwilling to use the treatment), and 7 (28%) were treatment failures (failure to reduce apnea/hypopnea index to <10/h and/or failure to relieve symptoms). Four people refused to use N-CPAP after using the OA. Thirteen of the 21 patients who used N-CPAP were overall treatment successes (62%), 8 were compliance failures (38%), and there were no treatment failures. Side effects were more common and the patients were less satisfied with N-CPAP (p<0.005). Seven patients were treatment successes with both treatments, six of these patients preferred OA, and one preferred N-CPAP as a long-term treatment.
Conclusions: We conclude that OA is an effective treatment in some patients with mild-moderate OSA and is associated with fewer side effects and greater patient satisfaction than N-CPAP.

Kenny Hill, Victory Energy Corporation Chief Executive Officer and Director discusses issues impacting the oil and gas industry in Oil & Gas Monitor.
"As executives in the oil and gas business, we work very hard to keep an eye on the fundamentals of our business when evaluating risk and opportunity. We build strategies that are catered to our available capital, our expertise and the playing field that we see in front of us. When I was originally asked to write this article I planned to focus on all of these things, however after reading several "top 10" lists from some of the biggest research houses, consulting companies, accounting firms and our government, it occurred to me that few of them addressed what I believe is one of the biggest risks and opportunities for our industry; people and the power they have in directing our future. With that in mind, here is my list of the top three important issues in our industry and how we need to take action to impact these issues."

West Elm touts new textiles collection with London-based Italian designer Allegra Hicks
July 18, 2011,
San Francisco - Williams-Sonoma Inc.'s hip nameplate, West Elm, has collaborated with London-based Italian fashion and textiles designer Allegra Hicks for an exclusive Fall 2011 collection of soft home decorative pieces and some furniture pieces.
Dubbed the "Allegra Hick Collaboration," the new collection spans botanically-inspired home textiles accent pieces, three upholstered chairs and one upholstered headboard that are now available at West Elm.
The product offering includes two styles of woven and looped rugs, four styles of cotton and hemp pillow covers, two styles of sheer window panels, four upholstered furniture pieces, and three designs of special-order fabrics, which "she created just for us," West Elm touts, and "perfectly express her relaxed, bohemian style, and just as we expected, our style, too." Designs lean heavily on organic themes, including floral, botanical, waves, and others.
A mini nine-page slide show gives shoppers an idea of Hicks' many sources of inspiration - including a patch of succulents she spotted in Stromboli in Southern Italy, which is the region that provided the inspiration for the collection's color palette, said West Elm.
As Hicks explains in a quote on West Elm's site in her section, "Inspiration is complex. I see things, they go in the back of my head, then months, or even years later, they come back in a different universe."
Retail price points by category include: $24 to $29 for decorative pillow covers; $30 per yard for fabrics; $39 to $749 for accent through area-size rugs, depending on size and construction; and $39 to $69 for drapes and panels;

"There are seven days, there are seven days, there are seven days in the week," they sang at the top of their voices to the tune of "Oh My Darling Clementine".
As we walked into the makeshift community school, housed in the cinder block home of one of the church members, we heard the children loud and strong, singing this song as part of their learning program.
On this day we visited the school in Lusaka, Zambia with the general secretary of the American Baptist Churches-USA (ABC-USA), Rev. Dr. Roy Medley, the executive director of American Baptist Women Ministries (ABW), Ms. Virginia Holmstrom, executive director International Ministries (IM), Rev. Dr. Reid Trulson, the executive director of the Ministers and Missionary Benefit Board (MMBB), Rev. Sumner Grant and the executive director of National Ministries (NM), Rev. Dr. Aidsand Wright-Riggins. The team was in Africa to see, first hand, the ministries and projects with which IM Missionaries are involved. This visit was with us in Lusaka, Zambia where we as IM Missionaries are engaged in ministry and partnership with the national leadership and 570 churches of the Baptist Convention of Zambia (BCZ).
There must have been 80-100 children crammed into three small rooms, and this attendance was low. On a regular day, a day when the children know there will be "nshima" with veggies to eat, they come in large numbers. They learn, they eat and many times they try to save a bit of the food they get at school to eat later or to give to a sibling or a parent at home.
The school was started as a concerted effort with volunteer members of the Samaritan BC and us out of a desperate need to educate the children in Lusaka's very poor Kalikiliki compound. Many of the children are orphans, some have HIV-AIDS, a few might have one parent, but poverty is the common ground. These little children would like to attend government run "Basic" schools but lack of funds and in some cases lack of parental supervision keep them from the benefit of a safe, structured day to day routine. As we toured the school, the children were so proud to show us what they had been learning. The students are in lower primary, middle primary and seventh through tenth grade groupings. The team also visited the stick and plastic bag structure that is the Samaritan's church building.
During the ABC team's time with us they visited "The Prayer Room" which is a house in another compound called Garden Central to see the bible study group of women, formerly involved in sex work, that Sarah leads in discipleship and Christian growth. The team got to witness dance celebrations of the Baptist Women of Zambia group and the sports ministry in Kabanana compound's BCZ church and do walking house visits to widows and orphaned and vulnerable children in that compound.
The team traveled to the Copperbelt Province of Zambia to survey the building and renovations taking place at the BCZ Education Centre located in the Kitwe-Kalulushi area. While there, they met with the BCZ General Secretary, the Central Executive officers and the BCZ Education committee that Charles is working with. They heard the presentation of the initial plans for opening of the Zambia International Theological College (ZITC) to be housed in this building purchased with the help of ABCOTS.
Before leaving Zambia for South Africa team members worshiped and individually preached at several BCZ churches in Lusaka compounds. After the worship services, we gathered at our house for one last goodbye and headed off to the airport.
It was such a blessing to have the "Team" with us to see first hand our working environment, and to pray with and for our ministry and family in Africa.
In His Service,
Charles, Sarah, Chasah, Caleb and Charliese West

The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
The Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church (EELC) was established in 1917. When the Soviet Union invaded Estonia in 1940, most Christian organizations were dissolved, church property was confiscated, theologians were exiled and religious education programs were outlawed. World War II later brought devastation to many church buildings. In 1988, church activities were renewed.
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod began a working relationship with the Estonia Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1996. The two church bodies continue to grow in their relationship and seek opportunities to support and partner with each other. The Estonian church is encouraged by the presence of an LCMS career missionary family in the Baltics.
Today the EELC has about 200,000 church members and focuses on the development of leadership—both clergy and laity. New mission initiatives include outreach into new communities and religious instruction in Lutheran schools.
Currently, no LCMS missionaries reside in this country. To search for missionaries serving in this region in other countries, please visit missionary search database. To learn more about the LCMS global mission team, visit www.lcms.org/missionaries.

Seattle Interested in Garrett Jones
News and Rumors
Seattle is interested in Garrett Jones. - Photo by Mark Olson
Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times reports that the Seattle Mariners have shown interest in Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Garrett Jones (via MLBTR). Baker says that the Mariners and Pirates have had talks in the weeks leading up to these meetings about Jones. He adds the disclaimer that Seattle is talking with many different teams, but that actual names were involved in the talks.
One proposal Baker mentions involved Jones and Joel Hanrahan in exchange for first baseman Justin Smoak, catcher John Jaso, and starting pitcher Hector Noesi. Some of that deal would make sense for the Pirates, but some of it wouldn't. Getting Smoak could give the Pirates a replacement for Jones, and a chance at a reclamation project w...

The Wizards made the playoffs. Now what?
Ted Leonsis has written about the franchise's continued goals on his blog, but he talked about them more expansively in a recent interview with his own Monumental Network.
"I don't think we'll rest until we can be honest competitors for a ring," Leonsis told Casey Phillips. "I think winning a championship is why we're doing this. But you can't win a championship unless you qualify for the playoffs, and that's how I've always looked at it: That that's the first step. And for a rebuilding team, you really saw that [Monday]. We took our team photo. And as I was walking up, I looked at the team, and I compared it in my mind to the first year we owned the team and the team photo. And the only people who were here when we took the first team photo were John Wall, Trevor Booker and Kevin Seraphin. They're our longest-tenured players.
"And to have three players on their rookie contracts starting — which we've been with Booker and Wall and Beal — we promised we would build around the draft and around young players. We said we would retain our young players, and obviously last offseason we were able to do that with John Wall signing a five-year extension. And then we said we would make good trades and bring in savvy vets. And I think you're seeing that now. You look at the team photo, and there's this great mix of young players and players who have been through the wars.
"And so I'm pleased with the culture change we've made, I'm pleased that the team still has upside, and I've very pleased that we set out as a collective goal to quality for the playoffs and we've met that first goal. As I wrote about on my blog, I thought it was a modest but positive step forward, and I feel good about it, but I certainly don't want the organization to say we've made it. It's a first step on a long, positive journey together."
Later, Leonsis was asked about his larger goals, and the way he measures success as a pro sports owner.
"Being able to build perennial contenders is really what I'd like to be able to do, and then to be able to win a championship," the owner said. "As I've noted just time and time again, we're going to spend to the max. We've made those investments in all of our teams. We honestly can't spend more money.
"And then you hope that you've developed the players the right way, and that you've made infrastructure and the right decisions that position you to be a good team for a long, long time. And you want to see teams that have some upside, that can continue their improvement and be able to do well in the playoffs, get through the next round, and keep building until you can win a championship.
"So I think the Wizards, this is the first step. It seems like forever. It's the fourth year since we've owned the team. And when John Wall is your most tenured player, and he's still playing on his rookie contract, I think it says a lot for the risk we took and why I'm so grateful to our fans. I told our fans that this is going to be a really really long, tough road to travel, that rebuilding teams, usually the way you get better is you're bad so that you can draft high. And several of the players that we picked — John Wall and Bradley Beal — are playing big, big minutes. And I think the industry word is that we're going to have one of the best backcourts if not the best backcourt in the league for years to come, because we have this great, complementary set of skills. …
"And so we want to continue to add to the team. I think we're managing the salary cap situation the right way. Hopefully we can still grow the team by bringing in players. We can retain the players that we want. Signing John to his contract and him wanting to be here, I think, is a great statement to our fans. I think that our fans are turning out in record numbers. The renewal rates at this point in the year are very very strong, above the league average. We're certainly one of the 10 fastest-growing teams in the NBA right now, and I think that's all coming together.
"But we can't fool ourselves," Leonsis concluded. "Our fans want to see us continue to improve and to be a team that's talked about as being a championship contender. And I believe we have the resources and the wherewithal to build that for our great fanbase."

Tammy Taylor demonstrates two different types of pedicures that are excellent for regular clients and for diabetics. Everything is disposable and you don't need to use any metal implements. The Water-Less Spa Pedicure is a spa pedicure using steamed towels instead of a tub of water. The Dry Express Pedicure is the perfect lunch time pedicure that uses no water at all. "I really like these types of pedicures because they are fast, effective, sanitary and they conserve water," says Taylor.

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
(John 6:53-58)
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
(1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

Rules on Spurred outlets
:whistling2: I am a Plumber by trade and this is my first thread so i apologise if i am in the wrong place. Would like one question answering - as a plumber am i allowed to spur off an unspurred socket to install underfloor heating for example? I know it needs to be tested by a fully qualified electrician so the certificate can be issued but am i legally allowed to create the spur and does it need to be fused?
Post your location. I think you might be in the UK. This site is mostly visited by North Americans so your question will be difficult to answer.
Hi David ,i take it that your socket is on the ring main you are going to spur from ? also assuming that the underfloor heating is not with a bathroom or in a kitchen or other high risk area ?
You would be able to create the spur if you could get an electrician to test it out and certify its integrity , a lot of electricians will not do this now as they don't like certifying other peoples work,this is certainly so if you are NIC EIC registered who actually prohibit you from certifying others works.
The arrival of part P of the building regulations has made a lot of grey areas David

My handsome big boy Nile,
I will always remember and never forget...
-how you would sit and give me your paw on command
-how you could open doors and even opened the door for me once when I was locked out
-how you good naturedly let me do impersonations with your ears; baby bunny, Yoda, butterfly, Scottish fold, American Curl
-how you tolerated the Mickey Mouse ears I made you wear from Disney
-how you licked my hair in bed to the point that I had to hide under the covers to escape the Nilemonster
-how you slept on your goose down pillow above mine at the head of the bed and usually had some part of you touching me
-how upon the first time meeting puppy Logan you growled and she immediately went into a down. We called you our dog trainer
-how at night I would hear you use the litter box and then hear the door handle as you checked it to make sure it was locked, you were our night watchman
-how you would curl up on the back of the sofa above my head
-how you loved food and how we had to have you eat in your own private "dining room" so that you wouldn't eat everyone else's
-how you were so loving and gentle at home but a holy terror at the vet's office
-how you had such a tiny meow for such a big guy
-how your tail was a barometer of how you were feeling, usually held straight up
-how soft your fur was and that it never matted, unlike your brother's. I guess you got the good genes
-how you and Fred would wrestle, boys will be boys!
-how a little while later you would be curled up sleeping together
-how I could do arm curls with you rolling down my arms, all 20+ pounds
-how you would pull yourself by your front paws on the wire shelving to get to the cat food bin
-how the top of your nose would be wet after you ate
-how you loved sleeping in the corner of the screened in porch
-how everyone would say "that's the biggest cat I've ever seen!"
You will always be in my heart.
What an exciting day! I was just lying around (as usual) thinking about food (as usual) when I heard Mom make that special sound she only makes when there are T-R-E-A-T-S! But she sounded so far away! I went to investigate and the sound was coming from the other side of the door leading into the garage.
I heard Mom yelling "Nile, open the door for Mommy" and making that sound that makes me drool with anticipation. Silly Mommy, she locked herself out! So of course I reached up and pulled the lever and Bingo! the door popped open. Mom kept telling me what a smart boy I am and gave me some TREATS! Yum!

EU Greens launch US-style primary elections
The European Greens on Sunday (10 November) selected four top candidates for US-style primaries ahead of the 2014 EU elections.
People from all over Europe can cast their vote online in a process that will select two candidates of the four contenders - a man and a woman or two women.

The online poll will run until 28 January 2014, and the duo to lead the campaign will be announced soon afterwards.
The only male candidate is Jose Bove, a French MEP who describes himself as a "farmer of the world" having "milked sheep" for years on a French farm and opposed genetically modified plants and shale gas exploitation in his country.
Monica Frassoni, from the Italian Green Party, is one of the three female candidates who wants to "transform the next European Parliament elections into a real competition."
"We have to convince citizens that they have a say in EU affairs and that, unless they speak up, the EU will split again. If they don't, we will not solve the crisis and our collective irrelevance will be inevitable," Frassoni said.
The other two Green candidates are both from Germany: Rebecca Harms, the current co-leader of the Greens in the European Parliament and Ska Keller, a 31-year old MEP backed by the young Greens.
European elections have had a continuously declining turnout since direct elections began in 1979, with voters tending to think that the EU vote is of little relevance to them.
European parties hope to reverse this trend with trans-national campaigns and lead candidates who run for the top post at the European Commission, a novelty introduced by the Lisbon treaty.
But EU leaders recently poured cold water on hopes that the top candidate of the most popular party will automatically land the commission job.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she "sees no automaticity" between the election results and the post.
For his part, EU council chief Herman Van Rompuy warned against parties raising "false expectations."
The Social Democrats meanwhile have opted for a different way of selecting their top candidate, current European Parliament chief Martin Schulz.
Last week, following a vote in the European Party of Socialists (PES), Schulz was nomintated "candidate designate" for the post and is set become the lead candidate following the party's congress in March next year.
On the centre-right, the European People's Party so far has not put any names out and is likely to announce their lead candidate at a party congress in March.

The Takeaway
Doctors' Prescribing Produce to Help Fight Obesity
In an effort to help fight childhood obesity, doctors at several Massachusetts health centers have begun distributing prescriptions for farmers' market produce to their patients.
The doctors participating in the new pilot program give coupons amounting to one dollar each day for every member of a patient's family to be used at local farmers' markets. The doctors plan to track their patients in the program, to determine how the prescriptions affect their eating habits and health.
Natasha Singer, a business reporter for The New York Times who covers the pharmaceutical industry, describes the program and its potential impact on the country's ongoing battle with obesity.

La Bayadère
Houston Ballet is celebrating 40 years with a new production of La Bayadère, the story of the doomed affair between temple dancer Nikiya and her warrior Solor. Set in India, the historic masterpiece, reworked here by HB Artistic Director Stanton Welch, is known for its Kingdom of the Shades scene, in which the murdered Nikiya returns to her lover in a dream along with a 24-woman, white-tutu-clad corps de ballet. Principal dancer Sara Webb, who will perform as Nikiya for this production, remembers this scene well - she danced as a shade during her first year with the Houston Ballet. "I remember thinking, 'Oh my gosh, this is the hardest thing I've ever done and I can't ever imagine having to be the person in the front,'" says Webb, "I never even thought, 'Oh, I hope I'm going to do that someday,'" Webb says. "[It never] crossed my mind. I was just hoping not to fall down the ramp." 7:30 p.m. February 25 and 27, and March 5 and 6; 2:30 p.m. February 28, and March 6 and 7. Wortham Theater, 501 Texas.

At approximately 1000 hours on 1/5/2017, during a search of area properties by local residents, searchers found Quincy O' Gorman deceased within the Lightning Brook in Brighton, also known as the Clyde River, in an area ¼ mile southwest of where he went missing. The Vermont State Police, Brighton Fire Department, and Lyndon Rescue responded to the scene to remove the victim from the water and transport him to the roadway via rescue sled.
The victim has been transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Burlington for autopsy. The investigation is on-going, pending the results of the autopsy. See below for more information.
On 1/4/2017 the Vermont State Police continued their search for Mr. O'Gorman. Members of the Vermont State Police Dive Team searched the brook and marsh in the area it was believed he may have gone. Vermont Fish and Game wardens, New England K9 and Upper Valley Wilderness conducted a ground search in the area. None of these efforts led to Mr. O'Gorman's whereabouts.
Vermont State Police are asking residents in and around Island Pond Village to check their abandoned properties, outbuilding and old vehicles they may have. Searchers will continue their efforts based on any new information supplied, but at this time no new ground searches are planned.
If you have information that may assist in locating Mr. O'Gorman, please contact Vermont State Police Detective Sergeant Darren Annis at (802)334-8881.
TROOPER: Mikkola
STATION: Derby Barracks
DATE/TIME: 012/31/2016 @ approximately 2300 hours
INCIDENT: Missing Person
LOCATION: Island Pond, VT
On 1/2/2017 at approximately 1139 hours, the Vermont State Police received a report of a missing person, identified as Quincy O'Gorman. O'Gorman was last seen at approximately 2300 hours on 12/31/2016 in Island Pond, VT.
O'Gorman is 23 years old, 5'10", approximately 200 pounds, brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information regarding O'Gorman's whereabouts are urged to contact the Vermont State Police Derby Barracks.
On 01/03/2017 the Vermont State Police Scuba team, Brighton Police Department, and Vermont Fish and Wildlife searched areas of Island Pond for Quincy O'Gorman.
On 12/31/2016 at approximately 11:43 pm a trooper made a motor vehicle stop in Island Pond village. The reason for the stop was failing to stop at a posted stop sign and erratic operation. Upon stopping, four occupants of this vehicle immediately exited the vehicle and began to run. The trooper was able to detain two passengers from the vehicle. The operator and third passenger continued to flee to the rear of a nearby residence. A short time later, Brighton Police Chief located a male passenger, from this vehicle, behind a local business. It was learned through talking with the passengers that Mr. O'Gorman was the operator and his whereabouts were still unknown. A K9 was called to the scene to conduct a track. Based on this track it was believed that Mr. O'Gorman had crossed a small brook and continued on foot in and around Island Pond Village. Brighton Police, Essex County Sheriff's deputies, and Vt. State Troopers continued to try and locate Mr. O'Gorman, but were unsuccessful. On 01/02/2017 family members reported that Mr. O'Gorman was still missing.
The Vermont Scuba team was called in to search the brook and swamp area surrounding Island Pond Village. VAST trails in the area were also searched. Another ground search has been scheduled for 01/04/2017. Anyone who may have any information involving Mr. O'Gorman is asked to contact the Derby State Police Barracks at 802-334-8881.
