Hello Hounds,
Well after many years this Texas-born, SF Bay Area-raised girl is coming home to visit family with my
7 yr old. I'll be staying with my cousin and I need the meat symphony of Texas chili, BBQ and/or steak.
I'll be in Dallas for a few days where I'll be hitting the State Fair, but I'm not sure we'll have time for MeatFest there.
I'm willing to drive about 15-20 minutes as long as it's easy to find.
(I've only been driving a few years and I get very nervous if I get lost)
Oh yeah, any Texas wines I shouldn't miss that aren't Chardonnay or Cabernet?

Submarine Proliferation Resource Collection
The NTI Submarine Proliferation Resource Collection details the submarine capabilities and import/export behavior of several representative countries around the world. The collection focuses on technological improvements to global submarine fleets, such as the spread of nuclear propulsion and Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) technologies, which increase the capability of submarines to deliver weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Additionally, the database tracks conventional submarine proliferation in potential global flashpoints, particularly the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
Submarine proliferation impacts both regional stability and the ability of states to deliver WMD. Since the end of the Cold War, the total number of active submarines in the world has fallen, largely as a result of large-scale decommissioning of former Soviet vessels. [1] However, the number of countries operating submarines has increased, due largely to ongoing regional tensions in the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia. Countries who seek to acquire submarines can rely on a competitive global export market, which is only lightly regulated by international export controls.
An Evolving Export Market
Although the number of states acquiring submarines has grown in recent decades, the group of countries exporting submarines has remained relatively small. Today, France, Germany and Russia are the three most active exporters of conventional submarines. France's Direction des Constructions Navales Services (DCNS) and Germany's Howaldtswerke Deutsche Werft (HDW) are the two principal submarine producers in their respective countries. [2] Between them, they have exported to approximately 21 navies. [3] Meanwhile, Russia has a number of design and construction enterprises, and has exported conventional boats to some 14 navies around the world. Notable recipients of Russian diesel-powered submarines include China, Iran, India, and Vietnam. As Japan has eased its ban on military exports, Tokyo has emerged as a challenger to the existing submarine market's status quo. [4] South Korea has also entered the submarine export market, delivering its first Daewoo-built attack submarines to the Indonesian Navy in 2016. [5]
Competition among exporters for lucrative construction contracts can be fierce, and this has often led to producers offering technology transfer to secure deals. One example is France's production technology transfer to Brazil as part of its 2008 sale of Scorpène-class vessels. [6] Technology transfers of this kind will result in the proliferation of submarine producers as recipients become capable of constructing their own submarines.
AIP Technology
Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) technology provides diesel-powered submarines with greater submerged endurance (several weeks as opposed to several days), thereby enhancing survivability. [7] This is achieved through the use of liquid or compressed oxygen or hydrogen fuel cells that allow vessels to stay submerged for longer periods without the need for external sources of oxygen. [8] AIP vessels are smaller than nuclear powered submarines, giving them greater access to shallow, littoral waters. For nations that are unable or unwilling to develop nuclear powered submarines, AIP offers an attractive alternative that improvs submarine performance without the cost of nuclear propulsion.
Implications for Regional Stability
New capabilities for conventionally-powered submarines, such as AIP technology and cruise missile delivery systems, have heightened concern that nuclear armed states outside the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), such as Israel, India, and Pakistan, could mount nuclear warheads on submarine launched delivery systems. [9] These states, taking the example of the NPT-recognized nuclear weapon states, hope to ensure the survival of their nuclear deterrent in the event of attack. Although such sea-based deployments may increase stability by ensuring a second-strike capability, they also have the potential to trigger arms races that create greater instability. Additionally, some experts are concerned that mounting nuclear weapons on submarines increases their vulnerability to terrorist attack, and that states may lack sufficient command—and—control to reliably manage a submarine—based nuclear force. [10] The proliferation of conventional submarines, even among states that do not possess a nuclear weapons capability, may also precipitate regional arms races.
Nuclear Propulsion
Despite the advent of AIP technology, a number of states continue to pursue nuclear propulsion, often for reasons of national prestige or arms race dynamics. India and Brazil have taken significant steps toward this goal. Although India began work on its so-called Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) in the 1970s, the project ran into a number of financial and technical difficulties. [11] In July 2009, however, India launched its first ATV submarine, the INS Arihant, at the Ship Building Centre in Vishakapatnam, and commissioned it into the navy. [12] [13] New Delhi plans to build a fleet of three ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) that will perform a strategic nuclear role, with each vessel likely to carry 12 Sagarika submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBM). [14] By comparison, Brazil's development of a nuclear-powered submarine is far behind India's, and has a target launch date of 2025. [15] Between 1980 and 2005 Brazil invested heavily in the development of uranium enrichment, fuel fabrication and reactor technology, and is now in the final development stages of its Pressurized Water Reactor, the RENAP-11. [16] [17]
In their bids to develop nuclear propulsion, both India and Brazil have received assistance from other states. Russia has been India's key partner. In addition to Russia's export of nuclear reactor technology to India, the Soviet Union leased a Project 670 nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine to New Delhi in 1988. [18] The vessel's reactor was operated by Russian crew, and the submarine was returned to the Soviet Union in 1991. Due to delays in its indigenous program, India signed an agreement with Russia in 2004 to lease another nuclear-powered attack submarine, a Project 971 Shchuka-B (NATO designation Akula II), inducted into the Indian Navy as the INS Chakra in April 2012. [19]
Meanwhile, France is assisting Brazil in constructing the hull for its first nuclear vessel. Brasilia originally approached both Russia and France as possible suppliers, but eventually signed a contract with France in September 2009. The contract states that France will supply Brazil with the hull for a nuclear vessel on the condition that Brazil will be solely responsible for the vessel's nuclear components. [20] Any spread of naval nuclear technology beyond these two states creates nonproliferation concerns due to a loophole in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). This loophole allows states to withdraw fissile material from international safeguards if it is to be used for military reactor fuel, thus creating the possibility that fissile material will be diverted to a nuclear weapons program. [21]
Export Controls
When considering the export of submarines, states often prioritize financial gain over security concerns because of the lucrative nature of construction contracts. Russia's provision of nuclear reactor and submarine-design technology to China and India are clear examples. [22] Additionally, multilateral export control regimes contain few restrictions on the sale of submarines, partly because they have historically been used for defensive purposes. The UN Arms Register requires states to declare the transfer of warships that displace 500 metric tons, or are able to fire missiles or torpedoes with a range of 25 kilometers or more. [23] The Wassenaar Arrangement goes further by requiring states to report the sale of vessels that displace 150 tons, as well as those that are equipped to fire missiles or torpedoes with a range of 25 kilometers. [24] However, declarations to the United Nations have not been comprehensive, and neither of these regimes bans the sale of any type of submarine. [25] The NPT also allows the export of nuclear submarines, as nuclear propulsion is viewed as an acceptable use of nuclear energy. As a result, there is little to prevent states from selling submarines to countries located in regions of high political and military tension.

Saudi Prince Orders Jailed Christians Released
Barbara Baker, Compass Direct
Two Egyptian Christians jailed 10 days ago for leading a house church were ordered released this morning by a Saudi prince. Sabry Awad Gayed, a pediatrician, and Eskander Guirguis Eskandar, employed as a carpenter, were arrested and jailed on October 25 in the Saudi capital of Riyadh . When brought before the prosecutor, they learned they stood charged with evangelism and "establishing a temple [non-Muslim place of worship]." The two Coptic Christians have met privately for worship in homes with other expatriate Christians since they took jobs in Saudi Arabia several years ago. After receiving a written complaint that the two had been jailed "for apparently no reason," Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, who serves as Saudi Arabia 's Second Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, reportedly reviewed their file yesterday, leading to their release. It is unclear whether Saudi authorities will allow the two Christians to continue in their job contracts, or if they will deport the men to Egypt .
Pro-Family Firm Sues After Court Tells Christian Mom: 'No Homophobic Teaching'
Allie Martin, Agape Press
A Colorado mother has been ordered by a trial court not to expose her child to "homophobic" religious upbringing or training, but her attorneys are saying the court has gone too far. Recently the mother was granted a legal separation, and she and her former partner -- a practicing homosexual -- were awarded joint parenting responsibilities for their daughter. What makes the case unique is the fact that the court said the mother -- who is a Christian -- must ensure that there is nothing in the religious upbringing or teaching that the child is exposed to that would discriminate against homosexuals. Mat Staver, president of the Liberty Counsel, has filed a lawsuit with the Colorado Court of Appeals on the Christian mother's behalf. He says in all his years of practice, he has never encountered a case like this one. Staver says his team is arguing that the warning to the mother "has clearly gone beyond the permissible boundaries of courts -- that this ruling interferes with her constitutionally guaranteed right to free exercise of religion and her rights as a parent to be able to direct the upbringing and teaching of her own child." Liberty Counsel's lead litigator believes a favorable review of the ruling will eventually be forthcoming.
Bush Praises 'Church-Based Strategy Designed to Rebuild Lives'
Charisma News Service
President Bush has renewed his push to let religious groups compete for government money, saying "it's hard to be a faith-based organization when you're forbidden from practicing your faith." "Government has no business funding religious worship or teaching," he told cheering members of the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship church in Dallas last Wednesday. "However, our government should support the good work of religious people who are changing the world." Bush toured the newly opened Christian Education Center across the street from the 7,000-member church. He praised the church's Project Turn Around, described by the pastor as "a church-based strategy designed to rebuild lives from the inside out." About 1,000 volunteers run programs ranging from money management and family counseling to medical testing and child mentoring. "The best way to help the addict ... is to change their heart," Bush said in a reference to how he stopped drinking at age 40. When the federal government is awarding contracts or grants for social services, religious organizations should not be excluded or be forced to remove religious practices or symbols from their organizations, he said. Under Bush's executive order, some federal departments, such as Health and Human Services and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, have begun opening the competition for funds to religious organizations.
Fla. Church Sues Over County Rejection of Religious Display
Adelle Banks, Religion News Service
Fort Lauderdale, Fla., church has sued county officials, claiming they reneged on an agreement for the church to display a "Jesus Is the Reason for the Season" display during a holiday lights event in a county park. The Rutherford Institute, a Virginia-based legal firm, filed suit in district court Oct. 22 on behalf of Calvary Chapel Church. According to court documents, the nondenominational church paid $15,000 to participate in the two-mile "Holiday Fantasy of Lights" event, a series of drive-through displays. The church alleges that it reached an agreement over the summer with county officials to display a cross and the words "Jesus Is the Reason for the Season -- Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale." But in late August, the church was informed that the approval had been revoked. The suit claims that church officials were told that there was a new policy that permitted sponsors of the event "to select only from a pre-existing inventory of displays." The church argues that the denial of its sponsorship of a display violates its rights of free speech and free exercise of religion. It seeks a declaration by the court that the county's actions amounted to unconstitutional censorship.

What's not to love about a scavenger hunt? Running around like crazy people out in public in frantic search for special items on your list can be an entertaining game. As you organize and plan a scavenger hunt for a group of people, one challenge will be hiding clues in public places so that other people don't disturb or even take your objects before the participants find them.
Plan the area of the scavenger hunt to enable you to scout out spots for hiding items, advises Bob Grgic, author of "Resources for Outdoor Retreats." Make a map of the entire area with geographic locations represented on the map to make it correspond to the area. For example, if your scavenger hunt is at a zoo, include specific exhibits on the map.
Walk the area using the map to find suitable spots for hiding items. Use locations that are easily recognizable, yet afford you the ability to hide items away from interference from other people. For example, tape an item under a picnic table in a park pavilion or on an out-of-sight corner of a building at the zoo. Plan the hiding spot of each item, then mark them on your map.
Gather the items you intend to hide. Proceed through the mapped area to hide them prior to the scavenger hunt. For optimal success, hide the items about two hours before the scavenger hunt begins.
Position incognito attendants at various spots of the scavenger hunt to ensure that no one disturbs or interferes with the hidden items. The attendants' job will involve preserving the hiding places if someone threatens to disturb the placement.
Things You Will Need
- Scavenger hunt map
- Tape
An alternative type of scavenger hunt that works well for public places is a photography scavenger hunt, advises the Snapfish website. With this scavenger hunt, you create a list of items for participants to photograph. Each participant or team has a digital camera and the object is to proceed through the hunt area, using the map and clues, taking pictures of the items upon finding them.

If you are here then you came to learn more about me- it is my hope that we will get to know each other in real life as friends and neighbors in this great community!
I am a 2001 graduate of the University of NC at Greensboro with a BM degree in Music Education and a 2007 graduate of the University of Michigan with a Master's Degree in Music Education. In May of 2017, I completed my Master's Degree in Curriculum Studies for Literacy Specialists from the University of Hawaii-Manoa. I come from a long line of educators, who demonstrated to me the importance of a life-long educational journey.
Since I began teaching in 2003, I have had many transitions in my career due to my husband's service in the US Air Force, but without fail, my goal with every move was to get involved in our local education community in whatever ways I could.
I have taught in public schools in three states (North Carolina, Virginia, and Hawaii), as well as in Germany at a Department of Defense Dependent School (DoDDS). I studied abroad in Finland in college and have traveled extensively to over 20 countries. In 2013 I had the amazing experience of volunteering in a school in Tanzania. I have a passion for different cultures and learn something new every time I travel. I believe it is our duty to prepare our children for an increasingly diverse global world that extends well beyond Albemarle County.
My well-rounded experience has allowed me to not just see or hear about successful, innovative programs, but to be a part of them. In Raleigh, NC, I taught with an amazing Fine Arts team at a Gifted and Talented Magnet elementary school. In Newport News, VA, while teaching in a school that had 100% at-risk students, I saw how strategic investment of resources and strong community partnerships can completely change the outcomes for these children. In Germany, I was able to see how fully-funded schools, new technology in every classroom, high-quality professional development, and high teacher pay combined to make the DoDDS schools extremely effective in teaching a highly transient and diverse population.
On the other hand, I have also endured the challenges of overcrowded classrooms, inadequate facilities, outdated technology, budget cuts, and unsupportive communities. These were heartbreaking, yet invaluable experiences that I will bring to the table as a member of the School Board. Every teaching job I have had has been unique and challenging to my previously held perspectives on education. It is those diverse perspectives that I believe should always be present in School Board decisions.
When the time came for Marshall to retire from the Air Force, we had no doubt that we wanted to settle near Charlottesville, where we knew our children would get a world-class education. My Grandfather was raised here, and I grew up coming for visits to see our extended family in the area. We moved to Albemarle County for Marshall's job in June of 2016. Our two children attend Woodbrook Elementary School, and we are enjoying renovating our home just down the street. In December of 2016, I joined the Agnor-Hurt Elementary team as a part-time K-1 PALS Instructor. I loved the time I spent providing reading intervention services to my students, but decided to step away from the classroom to try and serve on the school board. After many years of setting aside my own goals in order to support my husband's career, I am ready to take my leadership and activism to the next level.
We are very happy to be living close to our family for the first time in over a decade and we love seeing our kids put down roots and make good friends that we know we will have for many years to come. Our road to Charlottesville was filled with twists and turns, but we know we have ended up right where we should be. We are so thankful to be part of this incredible community!

AutoNation Inc. posted $74 million in net income for the first three months of 2012, representing a 5.7 percent hike from figures posted in the same period in 2011. This roughly translates to per-share profits being 22 percent higher from 46 cents in the same period in 2011. The company posted a 10 percent hike in the first three months of 2011 to reach total revenues of $3.7 billion.
The company, which repurchased 11.7 million shares of common stock in the first quarter, attributed the increase to stronger new vehicle sales, as U.S. consumers replaced their aging vehicles at a rapid pace.
AutoNation's new-vehicle unit sales soared 8 percent on a same-store basis and 10 percent overall. AutoNation chief executive Mike Jackson likewise attributed the company's strong first quarter performance to good credit availability and refreshed products, saying that during the period, consumers enjoyed a wider array of choices and a strong credit environment.
Jackson added that despite the new fuel prices increases, the company's strong performance in the first quarter of 2012 will continue, supported by accelerated product launches, replacement demand and robust consumer credit. Jackson said that the increasing fuel prices have been steadily offset by improved fuel economy across vehicle segment, thus allowing sales of both cars and trucks to continue their recovery.
Autonation noted that vehicles having fuel economy ratings of more than 25 miles per gallon accounted for 75 percent of its sales, while vehicles having fuel economy ratings of more than 30 miles per gallon accounted for 40 percent of its sales. Autonation is the largest dealership group in the United States.

African Americans in the Revolutionary War
From the first shots of the American Revolutionary War until the ultimate victory at Yorktown, black men significantly contributed to securing independence for the United States from Great Britain. On March 5, 1770, Crispus Attucks, an escaped slave, was at the center of what became known as the Boston Massacre that fanned the flames of revolution. Once the rebellion began, Prince Estabrook, another African American, was one of the first to fall on Lexington Green in Massachusetts on April 19, 1775. Other black men fought to defend nearby Concord Bridge later in the day.
At least a dozen black men fought at the Battle of Bunker and Breeds Hill the following June 17. Cuff Whittenmore was cited for "fighting bravely" and allowed to keep a sword he captured from a British officer. Another black soldier, Peter Salem, a veteran of the Battle of Concord Bridge, killed yet another senior British officer in the fight. Later, fourteen American officers signed a document recognizing Salem Poor for being "a brave and gallant soldier." In the famous painting of the battle by John Trumbull, two African Americans are included in the scene.
From the time of the arrival of the first black slaves to the American colonies in 1619, they were welcomed into the ranks of local militias to counter the threat from Native Americans. This practice remained, especially in the northern colonies, for more than a century and a half, only changing when General George Washington, a Virginia slave owner, took command of the newly formed Continental Army near Boston on July 3, 1775. Washington and his fellow rebels saw no need for the enlistment of blacks, slave or free. A few may have seen the irony in enlisting slaves to fight for freedom. Some slave owners did not want to risk their valuable property in combat or perhaps have slaves freed for service. Still others, especially in the South, where blacks outnumbered whites, feared the potential consequences of arming African Americans. Massachusetts took first action, issuing a resolution that proclaimed, "no slaves be permitted into this army upon any consideration whatsoever."
On July 10, Washington posted an order directing, "You are not to enlist any stroller, negro, or vagabond." Washington and other officials did not want blacks in their ranks, and did not see the Revolution as a vehicle to end slavery even though they were seeking independence for themselves. While the Declaration of Independence began with "all men are created equal," there is no evidence that its author, Thomas Jefferson, or any of its signers had any intention of ending slavery in America. Jefferson, a slave owner, did include a clause condemning the British King George III for interfering with colonial law prohibiting the future importation of slaves, but even that was deleted in the final draft after opposition from representatives from Georgia and South Carolina.
While Washington made efforts to keep blacks out of his ranks, the British were not reluctant to have them. Seeking to exploit American prejudices and to bolster their own ranks that were operating far from home, many British commanders welcomed escaped slaves into their camps. On November 7, 1775, John Murray, the Earl of Dunmore and the Royal Governor of the colony of Virginia, issued a proclamation that read, "I do hereby declare all indentured servants, Negroes or others free, that are able and willing to bear arms, they joining His Majesty's troops, as soon as you may be, for the more speedily reducing this Colony to proper dignity." Slaves immediately began to risk the dangers of flight from bondage with a yearning for freedom. Within a month, Lord Dunmore organized more than 300 escaped slaves into what he called his "Ethiopian Regiment," complete with uniforms emblazoned with the slogan "Liberty to Slaves."
Over the next five months, more than 30,000 former slaves rallied to Dunmore's promise of freedom. Some, like the Ethiopian Regiment, took up places in the front lines, while others worked in the rear as wagon masters, cooks, and laborers. Others assumed more unusual jobs. Bill Richmond, described as a "man of color," served as the hangman when the rebel spy Nathan Hale was executed in New York City in 1776.
Knowing that many slaves were joining the British and facing personnel shortages of his own, Washington reconsidered his policy of exclusion. On December 30, 1775, he issued orders allowing the enlistment of free blacks but continued his ban on the recruitment of slaves. Washington's subordinates welcomed this policy and many went so far as to ignore the second part and enlist black soldiers with no concern for their status of "free" or "slave."
Setbacks on the battlefield in 1776 forced the rebels to take even further action. When the members of the Continental Congress asked the states in September to provide an additional eighty-eight battalions to reinforce the army and another sixteen battalions three months later, they suggested that the states could fill their quotas "by draft, from their militias, or in any other way." Field commanders interpreted the "in any other way" as an authorization to recruit African Americans. The mid-Atlantic and northern states began to accept blacks, slave and free, into integrated ranks. The southern states remained reluctant to arm and serve with black soldiers but did recruit them for support roles. All blacks were promised freedom for their service and their owners were promised compensation for the loss of their property.
For the remainder of the war, blacks served alongside whites while in pursuit of liberty and independence. In the 1851 painting Washington Crossing the Delaware, artist Emanuel Leutze shows a black soldier at Washington's side in their boat as they crossed the river to earn a much-needed victory at Trenton, New Jersey, on December 26, 1776.
The British recognized the presence and effectiveness of the black soldiers in the Continental Army. On October 23, 1777, a Hessian officer wrote of his rebel opponents saying, "No regiment is to be seen in which there are not Negroes, in abundance, and among them are able-bodied, strong, brave fellows."
African Americans contributed to the Revolution in the Navy as well. Because of the hazards of the sea, fishing and merchant vessels were always short of crewmen and did not pay any attention to the color of a sailor's skin if he was willing to serve. The newly formed US Navy and state vessels continued this tradition. At no time were blacks barred from service on warships during the Revolution. The US Marine Corps, in its infancy, also welcomed black recruits and at least thirteen served on US ships.
Blacks also served in the ranks of the allies of the American rebels. Six hundred of the 3,500 French troops who fought to retake Savannah, Georgia, in the fall of 1779 were black freemen and slaves recruited in France's Caribbean colonies. The Spanish governor of Louisiana, Bernardo de Galvez, also employed black soldiers in his campaign against the British in the Mississippi Valley and along the Gulf Coast.
It is impossible to determine an exact count of the number of blacks who served in the American Revolution. Enlistment records, when preserved—or kept at all—rarely note a soldier's race. From what information that is available, it appears that about 5,000 of the 300,000 men who joined the ranks of the Continental Army and Navy and state militias were African American—or about one in sixty, or 2 percent of the total. This number is not totally revealing because blacks enlisted for the duration while whites enlisted for shorter periods. Since the rebels never had more than 35,000 soldiers in the field at any one time, it is likely that at times blacks composed 10 percent of the ranks.
Though prejudice and discrimination did not evaporate with the first shots at Lexington and Concord Bridge, black servicemen in the war certainly experienced a marked increase in equality throughout the Revolution. Ultimately, as in every armed conflict, soldiers in the trenches and sailors and marines in the forecastle judged men by their performance under fire and in camp rather than the color of their skin as they fought for their country's liberty, their unit's pride, and their mutual survival.
Blacks who fought on both sides did indeed secure their freedom. Those in the US military were freed and those who joined Lord Dunmore were evacuated as free men to Nova Scotia, the British West Indies, and the newly established African colony of Sierra Leone. Several northern states abolished human servitude in the postwar years, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. A few other states initiated measures to slowly eliminate slavery, but the majority of the former colonies continued the practice. In fact, the number of black slaves in the United States increased sevenfold from 500,000 to 3.5 million in the three-quarters of a century from the end of the Revolution until their emancipation during and after the American Civil War. It would not be until the Korean War of the 1950s that African Americans were again permitted to serve in integrated units.
In the years after the Revolution, blacks received little credit for their participation and support. In was not until September 16, 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that one of the earliest and best summaries of their service appeared in an article entitled "Negro Soldiers in the Revolution" in the Army and Navy Journal: "The record is clear that from the beginning to the conclusion of the war of the Revolution, Negroes served in the Continental Armies with intelligence, courage, and steadfastness, and that important results in several instances are directly traceable to their good conduct."
Michael Lee Lanning is a decorated former lieutenant colonel who served in Vietnam, and an acclaimed military historian. He has spoken on the African American soldier at conferences at the D-Day Museum in New Orleans and Tuskegee University in Alabama. He is the author of many books, including Defenders of Liberty: African Americans in the Revolutionary War (Citadel Press, 2004) and The African American Soldier: From Crispus Attucks to Colin Powell (Citadel Press, 2005).

Paint Quality From the Pros
Sherwin-Williams recently published an article in their Stir magazine titled "The Secrets to Quality Paint". As a leader in the industry, Sherwin-Williams carries some clout when they speak about quality. Let's be honest, painting is an investment. It takes time, money and labor and, as always, we want to invest in quality products.
Obviously better ingredients lend itself to better performance as well as longevity and this article really broke down what goes into each can of SW paint. Paint is made up of four ingredients: pigment, binders, liquids, and additives. Good paint contains more prime pigments, offering better hide and color retention. Binders provide adhesion and helps to resist cracking, blistering and peeling. Binders affect everything from stain resistance to gloss and adhesion. Latex paints contain acrylic binders, while oil paints contain linseed oil, soya oil or alkyds. The liquid is the "carrier" to help get the paint from the can to the wall. Lower quality paint is going to be "watered down". Additives are those extra ingredients that help with specific functions. With the right additives you can have better flow, leveling, dry time and extended storage. You can even help reduce odors already present in a room.
Whether you are painting a front door or a wall, when shopping for paint, you want to really take each ingredient into consideration and know that what you put on your wall is going to do its job and last! We love Sherwin-Williams colors and our painters love using it! When helping clients with a paint consult it is one of the main decks we use. Color is our passion! Give us a call if you need help choosing quality paint color in your home!
Worry Free Living
We love cake, and now you don't need to worry about keeping that sugary confection away from your upholstery! Stain resistant, low maintenance fabrics with Sunbrella & Crypton technology offer kid-friendly, pet-friendly and all around worry free living. With so many fabric designs and options, spill proof has never looked so good.
Living in Southwest Florida we know the benefits of using Sunbrella fabrics outside to protect from sun fading and humidity induced mold. Moving this fabulous fabric inside makes sense and now that the design options are nearly endless, there is no reason why upholstered items (ottomans, sofas, dining chairs, etc.) shouldn't be protected from the elements inside as well as out!
Need help finding the perfect fabric? Give us a call.
A Quick Way to Update a Bathroom!
Frame your mirrors. It's so simple but it packs a punch! This is one of our favorite ways to jazz up bathroom mirrors.

Under Wraps
NR | 95 min | Saturday, October 25, 1997
Movie Description
Featuring a largely non-descript cast, the Disney Channel's 1997 production of Under Wraps is a Halloween-themed film involving the discovery of a 3,000 year-old mummy (Bill Fagerbakke) by a trio of 12-year-olds. Suspension of belief is necessary (it's only a movie) as the three befriend the obviously "out-of-his-element" mummy. Hilarity ensues through the efforts of the youngsters to keep their often-clumsy, bumbling discovery secret, and when they learn of an attempt by dark, powerful forces (led by veteran actor Ed Lauter) to "recapture" Harold (as named by them), the film takes on an "Us vs. Them" slant, with the predictable outcome.
Directed by Greg Beeman, who also was behind the camera on TV series as The Wonder Years, Nash Bridges, The Sentinel and JAG, Under Wraps was written and produced by Don Rhymer, who served the same dual role on hits such as Coach, Evening Shade and Caroline in the City.
Genre: Comedy Disney Channel Spooky

Knit in Public Day
Join us on Saturday, June 10th 10-5 for tea and scones as we meet on the front porch of the shop and meander onto the Chester Green. Wear your best summer hat! Crocheters welcome too! Be sure to come early and park behind the shop - the Alumni Parade starts at 11:00am too!
World Wide Knit in Public Day is the largest Knitter run event in the world. It started in 2005 and is now celebrated in 57 different countries.
What to bring:
Your fancy hat (or not, your choice), your latest project and a lawn chair! We'll supply snacks and drinks! We have a restroom in the shop.
Backup plan: We can meet in the shop in case of foul weather.
Not a knitter? Not a problem. We will have yarn and needles on hand to teach anyone who wants to learn.
