Providing insight into the changing post-retirement landscape, a new survey by Home Instead, Inc. revealed that more than half (53 percent) of workers approaching retirement in the next five years believe they will likely return to work.According to the Home Instead, Inc. survey, money is an important overall factor in desire to return to work. However, the second most important motivator for those who have retired was fighting boredom (44 percent) or keeping their minds sharp (22 percent), while finding new challenges and fulfillment were the second and third most important motivators for those pending retirement. In terms of their next move, the majority of both those approaching retirement (68 percent) and those who have "unretired" and returned to work (65 percent) said they will change or have changed industries.
"The word 'retirement' has become a misnomer in recent years," says Jane Barratt, Secretary General of the International Federation on Ageing. "In the past, the retirement age has been around 60 or 65; however, since people are living longer and are generally healthier in their older years, there's a significant trend toward adopting second and third careers after that perceived 'retirement' age." The need for personal fulfillment was evident among those surveyed by Home Instead. Nearly 80 percent of both those nearing retirement and unretired said they want to make a meaningful impact in their communities in their post-retirement years, such as through volunteerism or a role involving caregiving, teaching or giving back.
However, according to Melanie Johannink, Sun Life Financial advisor, even if a person continues to work after retirement, it's still essential to start planning early from a financial perspective. "Regardless of whether a client chooses to go back to work for financial reasons or to pursue a passion, working with a financial advisor is the most valuable step someone can take in planning for the next stage of life, wherever that may take you."Many of today's older workers are seeking flexible work options, including at organizations that meet criteria for age-friendly workplaces. Retail sales clerks, bank tellers, online tutoring and caregiving are among some of the most popular jobs.Home Instead consulted with Canadian retirement experts at Sun Life Financial and the International Federation on Ageing to introduce online tips and materials to help older workers decide how to make the most of their post-retirement years. Resources include an online career assessment tool that asks the user questions about their interests, skills and ideal work environment before recommending categories of jobs that might suit them.

Hairography is the eleventh episode of Glee's first season and the eleventh episode overall. It premiered on November 25, 2009.
Concerned that Sue is up to no good, Will pays a visit to an instructor (guest star Eve) of a competing Glee Club, Jane Addams Academy, to see what information she might be leaking. This in turn leads to the club getting a look at their hair-rising competition between both schools, as well as a competition between the New Directions and the Haverbrook School for the Deaf. Meanwhile, Kurt gives Rachel a makeover to impress Finn, but he may have ulterior motives. Quinn reconsiders having her baby adopted, and letting Puck be a part of her life, but ultimately recommits to the idea. The episode ends with Sue giving the New Directions' set-list for Sectionals to the competing clubs in order to damage New Directions' chances of progressing to Regionals.
The episode was directed by Bill D'Elia and written by Ian Brennan.
Sue walks up to Will in the teacher's lounge, asking about the setlist for Sectionals. Will suspects that she is up to something, as Brittany has been videoing their rehearsals and Sue has been asking about the other schools New Directions will compete against. Will goes to talk to Emma about it, who advises him to not let Sue distract and simply go to the other schools and ask if they've been getting information.
Will makes an appointment to have a meeting with the head director, Grace Hitchens, at Jane Addams Academy. After dealing with an unruly student, Grace meets with Will, who tells her about his suspicions of Sue. Grace becomes defensive and mentions that her school is underfunded and she won't risk cheating, which would set a poor example to her students. Will then decides to invite the girls over for a scrimmage match.
The girls come over and perform Bootylicious, which features a style of dancing that involves whipping their hair around. This gets Will nervous, but Rachel assures him that their dance style, called "hairography", is just a smokescreen for their poor choreography and vocals.
Will, however, ignores her advice and decides to get the guys some wigs so they can perform the title song from the musical Hair. When confronted by Rachel, Will admits that the Jane Addams choir freaked him out and says they need to pull out all the stops to win.
Puck gives Quinn a baby book he stole, which she finds endearing. She begins to wonder if she's making the right decision by giving up the baby and having a baby with Finn, who seems to be less capable of handling a child. Quinn decides that she needs to distract Finn while she gives Puck a test drive. She suggest to Kurt that he gives Rachel a makeover, so that Rachel can serve as a distraction for Finn. Kurt agrees.
Terri and Will are in bed together, and Will tries to get intimate, which freaks Terri out. Terri starts thinking about her worries about keeping the fake baby secret. She then manages to come up with an idea.
Kurt is attempting to give Rachel a makeover. Rachel then reveals that she's in love with Finn, which angers Kurt, so he devises a plan to get Rachel to dress up provocatively, insisting that Finn likes his women that way.
Terri surprises Will with an old car that reminds Will of the one he used to have in high school. Suddenly, Terri's sister Kendra stops by with Quinn, who tells Terri that she plans on keeping the baby.
Will is confronted by the head director at Haverbrook, Dalton Rumba, who felt discriminated against after Will invited the Jane Addams choir. The director is comically deaf, and demands that Will holds a second scrimmage in the interest of equality. Will agrees to hold another scrimmage on Monday.
Terri is stressing over the secret again and wants to tell him the truth. Will comes in and tells Terri how happy he is working on the car. Terri wonders how she'll be able to pull the hoax off, but Kendra tells her not to worry, as she has a plan on how to fool Will and get Quinn's baby. She proposes letting Quinn babysit her three unruly triplets to scare Quinn into giving up the baby.
Rachel is walking down the hallway wearing a sexy dress, which goes noticed by Finn. She then makes an arrangement to meet together on Friday to work on a hairography. Finn agrees and goes over to tell Quinn that to tell her that he'll be busy on Friday. She tells him that it's fine because she has to babysit and goes over to Puck to ask him if he'd like to babysit with her.
At glee rehearsals, Will has Brittany teach the glee club how to perform hairography, as he catches Sue spying on them. He confronts her and she admits that she has been spying, but says it's because she can't stand the teaching style of using hairography. She then demands the setlist and warns him that it better not feature hairography.
Finn is in Rachel's bedroom where they plan to work on his hairography. She comes out, dressed as Sandy from Grease, and they begin to sing You're the One That I Want. Finn then tells her that he liked her as she was, and mentions that Kurt knew about this, which leads Rachel to realize that Kurt tricked her and set her up.
Puck and Quinn are babysitting the triplets, which leads to them being tied up together. After managing to break free, they decide to distract the kids with a song. Quinn performs Papa Don't Preach with Puck playing guitar, which seems to work with the kids.
Kendra and Terri return home and are shocked to find that Quinn had managed to tame the triplets. Will talks with his brother-in-law Phil, who asks him what he's going to do when the baby comes as a carseat cannot be installed. Quinn and Puck are talking about how well they work together as parents.
Rachel confronts Kurt and accuses Kurt of setting her up. Rachel then realizes that Kurt likes Finn. Kurt then tells her that there's no hope for either of them because Finn loves Quinn and they're having a baby together.
Meanwhile, Quinn is confronted by Santana, who warns Quinn to stay away from Puck. Quinn tells her that Puck cares about her, but Santana reveals that while they were babysitting, Puck was trading sexual texts with Santana, but Puck had told Quinn that he was texting Mike.
Will has the Havebrook kids gather into the choir room to perform their scrimmage match and presents the New Directions, who put on a hairography-filled performance of Hair/Crazy in Love which doesn't go over very well with the Haverbrook kids, who think they look crazy. Rachel wonders if they did well, but Will reassures her that they need more practice.
The Haverbrook then get up to perform Imagine in sign language, and are soon joined by the New Directions. This inspires Will to put an end to the gimmick of hairography.
Quinn walks up to Puck at his locker and takes his phone. It turns out that Santana was right and he was sexting her when they were babysitting. Quinn feels betrayed and later agrees to let Terri have the baby. Before she leaves their apartment, Quinn gives Will a hug, knowing he'll be a good father. Will surprises Terri with a new car, and tells Terri he sold the old car for one that's more family suitable.
Quinn later apologizes to Finn for their fights and Finn admits that he was with Rachel on Friday, but nothing had happened. They walk away side-by-side, passing Rachel and Kurt along the way, who exchange looks and wave at each other.
Will goes to see Sue to give Sue the setlist and tells her that he realizes that hairography was a stupid idea. He then gives the New Directions a new song to sing at Sectionals, but plans to use only stools with no gimmicks or distractions, receiving a thank you from Rachel.
Sue pulls in Grace and Dalton into her office to give them the New Directions' setlist. Grace is initially against the idea, but Sue manages to convince her and Dalton that winning Sectionals would be more beneficial for their show choirs than it would for the New Directions.
The episode ends with the New Directions performing True Colors, led by Tina, with Finn, Kurt, Puck, Quinn, and Rachel all exchanging looks with each other.

Then, when she mentions that she has had long hair since she was a toddler, her hair is now in front of her without seeing her hands come up to fix it.
- When Quinn goes through Puck's phone, the text "Not wearing any" appears twice on the list of Puck's text history. Also, each text shown is under his "Sent" messages.
Grace: You a good kid, Aphasia. Why did you try to rob a bank?
—Grace Hitchens and Aphasia
Grace: Our show choir has to practice out in the rec-yard. This is Ohio, we have weather.
Kendra: That car is a perfect distraction. I would get something like that for Phil if I didn't think it would make him so happy.
Kendra: You got the beauty, but I got the brains and the beauty.
Santana: While you two were babysitting, Puck and I were sexting.
Kurt: You need something to distract from your horrible personality. Most of the time I find it hard to be in the same room with you, especially this one. This looks like where Strawberry Shortcake and Holly Hobbie come to hook up.

Zyagen provides high quality tissue lysates (total protein) of mouse CD1 uterus at different stages of pregnancy (E10 to E18). The pregnancy is precisely determined by observation of vaginal plug. Plug date is considered day one of gestation.
Uterine tissue is collected and homogenized in protein lysis buffer supplemented with a cocktail of 7 mammlian protease inhibitors to minimize proteolysis.
The extracted protein is precisely quantified, and packed in 1.5-ml tubes at a concentration of 5 mg/ml. Protein is stable for one year if stored at -80oC.
The quality of protein as indicated by the absence of smear (no degradation) and sharpness and resolution of the protein bands is verified by denatured SDS-PAGE with Coomassie blue staining. The integrity of protein is tested by immunostaining using specific beta-actin antibody.
The extracted protein is provided in vials at a concentration of 5mg/ml and and ready for immediate use in reporter assays (e.g., luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase), protein kinase assays (e.g., PKA, PKC, tyrosine kinase), immunoassays (e.g., Western blots, ELISAs, RIAs) and/or protein purification procedures, immunoprecipitation, SDS-PAGE, isoelectric focusing gels and SDS-capillary electrophoresis, enzymatic activity analysis, gel shifting assay, and protein-protein interaction. Protein can also be provided in denatured SDS Sample buffer for only Western blotting use. Protein can also be provided in denatured SDS Sample buffer for Western blotting.

The Mountain View Los Altos Union High School District Board of Trustees was expected to approve the appointment of Laura Stefanski as associate superintendent of human relations at its regular meeting Monday, past the Town Crier's press deadline.
Current Associate Superintendent Steve Hope announced his retirement, effective at the end of this school year, after 36 years as a teacher, administrator and associate superintendent.
Stefanski has been an educator for 30 years, 23 in the district in adult education and nine at Milpitas Unified and Fremont Union high school districts.
She began her career in education in Milpitas teaching English to Vietnamese refugees entering the electronics industry. She said her experience teaching English was humbling and rewarding and became a major catalyst for pursuing education as a career. In the Fremont district, she coordinated adult English as a Second Language, basic skills programs and large government grants.
At the MVLA Adult School, Stefanski taught GED test preparation, then moved to program coordination. Over the years, she has coordinated older adults, community interest and basic skills programs. She served as adult school summer school principal for five years until named assistant director and ultimately director of adult education.
Stefanski has held numerous positions in educational organizations, including all Bay Section officer levels for the California Council for Adult Education, the Bay Area Adult Administrators Association and the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA), where she currently is adult education council representative for Region 8 and a member of the strategic planning committee. She has also served on numerous Western Association of Schools and Colleges Accreditation visiting teams.
In community leadership, Stefanski has served on numerous boards and committees, including the Community Services Agency and the Mountain View Downtown Revitalization Committee.
ACSA Adult Education named Stefanski its Outstanding Administrator for Region 8 in 2008; San Francisco State University recognized her as Graduate Student of the Year, Education Department; and she received the Santa Clara County Literacy Award.
"I am deeply honored to be nominated for this position," Stefanski said. "I am following my mentor, Steve Hope, into a position that requires me to learn, listen, act and reflect. My goal is to meet the high standards of the district while maintaining a positive and nurturing work environment."

In computing, virtual memory is a memory management technique that is implemented using both hardware and software. It maps memory addresses used by a program, called virtual addresses, into physical addresses in computer memory. Main storage as seen by a process or task appears as a contiguous address space or collection of contiguous segments. The operating system manages virtual address spaces and the assignment of real memory to virtual memory. Address translation hardware in the CPU, often referred to as a memory management unit or MMU, automatically translates virtual addresses to physical addresses. Software within the operating system may extend these capabilities to provide a virtual address space that can exceed the capacity of real memory and thus reference more memory than is physically present in the computer.
The primary benefits of virtual memory include freeing applications from having to manage a shared memory space, increased security due to memory isolation, and being able to conceptually use more memory than might be physically available, using the technique of paging.
Virtual memory makes application programming easier by hiding fragmentation of physical memory; by delegating to the kernel the burden of managing the memory hierarchy (eliminating the need for the program to handle overlays explicitly); and, when each process is run in its own dedicated address space, by obviating the need to relocate program code or to access memory with relative addressing.
Memory virtualization can be considered a generalization of the concept of virtual memory.
Virtual memory is an integral part of a modern computer architecture; implementations require hardware support, typically in the form of a memory management unit built into the CPU. While not necessary, emulators and virtual machines can employ hardware support to increase performance of their virtual memory implementations.[1] Consequently, older operating systems, such as those for the mainframes of the 1960s, and those for personal computers of the early to mid-1980s (e.g. DOS),[2] generally have no virtual memory functionality, though notable exceptions for mainframes of the 1960s include:
The Apple Lisa is an example of a personal computer of the 1980s that features virtual memory.
Most modern operating systems that support virtual memory also run each process in its own dedicated address space. Each program thus appears to have sole access to the virtual memory. However, some older operating systems (such as OS/VS1 and OS/VS2 SVS) and even modern ones (such as IBM i) are single address space operating systems that run all processes in a single address space composed of virtualized memory.
Embedded systems and other special-purpose computer systems that require very fast and/or very consistent response times may opt not to use virtual memory due to decreased determinism; virtual memory systems trigger unpredictable traps that may produce unwanted "jitter" during I/O operations. This is because embedded hardware costs are often kept low by implementing all such operations with software (a technique called bit-banging) rather than with dedicated hardware.
In the 1940s and 1950s, all larger programs had to contain logic for managing primary and secondary storage, such as overlaying. Virtual memory was therefore introduced not only to extend primary memory, but to make such an extension as easy as possible for programmers to use.[3] To allow for multiprogramming and multitasking, many early systems divided memory between multiple programs without virtual memory, such as early models of the PDP-10 via registers.
The concept of virtual memory was first developed by German physicist Fritz-Rudolf Güntsch at the Technische Universität Berlin in 1956 in his doctoral thesis, Logical Design of a Digital Computer with Multiple Asynchronous Rotating Drums and Automatic High Speed Memory Operation; it described a machine with 6 100-word blocks of primary core memory and an address space of 1,000 100-word blocks, with hardware automatically moving blocks between primary memory and secondary drum memory.[4][5] Paging was first implemented at the University of Manchester as a way to extend the Atlas Computer's working memory by combining its 16 thousand words of primary core memory with an additional 96 thousand words of secondary drum memory. The first Atlas was commissioned in 1962 but working prototypes of paging had been developed by 1959.[3](p2)[6][7] In 1961, the Burroughs Corporation independently released the first commercial computer with virtual memory, the B5000, with segmentation rather than paging.[8][9]
Before virtual memory could be implemented in mainstream operating systems, many problems had to be addressed. Dynamic address translation required expensive and difficult to build specialized hardware; initial implementations slowed down access to memory slightly.[3] There were worries that new system-wide algorithms utilizing secondary storage would be less effective than previously used application-specific algorithms. By 1969, the debate over virtual memory for commercial computers was over;[3] an IBM research team led by David Sayre showed that their virtual memory overlay system consistently worked better than the best manually controlled systems.[10] The first minicomputer to introduce virtual memory was the Norwegian NORD-1; during the 1970s, other minicomputers implemented virtual memory, notably VAX models running VMS.
Virtual memory was introduced to the x86 architecture with the protected mode of the Intel 80286 processor, but its segment swapping technique scaled poorly to larger segment sizes. The Intel 80386 introduced paging support underneath the existing segmentation layer, enabling the page fault exception to chain with other exceptions without double fault. However, loading segment descriptors was an expensive operation, causing operating system designers to rely strictly on paging rather than a combination of paging and segmentation.
Nearly all implementations of virtual memory divide a virtual address space into Page (computer memory)s, blocks of contiguous virtual memory addresses. Pages on contemporary[NB 2] are usually at least 4 kilobytes in size; systems with large virtual address ranges or amounts of real memory generally use larger page sizes.
Page tables are used to translate the virtual addresses seen by the application into physical addresses used by the hardware to process instructions; such hardware that handles this specific translation is often known as the memory management unit. Each entry in the page table holds a flag indicating whether the corresponding page is in real memory or not. If it is in real memory, the page table entry will contain the real memory address at which the page is stored. When a reference is made to a page by the hardware, if the page table entry for the page indicates that it is not currently in real memory, the hardware raises a page fault exception, invoking the paging supervisor component of the operating system.
Systems can have one page table for the whole system, separate page tables for each application and segment, a tree of page tables for large segments or some combination of these. If there is only one page table, different applications running at the same time use different parts of a single range of virtual addresses. If there are multiple page or segment tables, there are multiple virtual address spaces and concurrent applications with separate page tables redirect to different real addresses.
This part of the operating system creates and manages page tables. If the hardware raises a page fault exception, the paging supervisor accesses secondary storage, returns the page that has the virtual address that resulted in the page fault, updates the page tables to reflect the physical location of the virtual address and tells the translation mechanism to restart the request.
When all physical memory is already in use, the paging supervisor must free a page in primary storage to hold the swapped-in page. The supervisor uses one of a variety of page replacement algorithms such as least recently used to determine which page to free.
Operating systems have memory areas that are pinned (never swapped to secondary storage). Other terms used are locked, fixed, or wired pages. For example, interrupt mechanisms rely on an array of pointers to their handlers, such as I/O completion and page fault. If the pages containing these pointers or the code that they invoke were pageable, interrupt-handling would become far more complex and time-consuming, particularly in the case of page fault interruptions. Hence, some part of the page table structures is not pageable.
Some pages may be pinned for short periods of time, others may be pinned for long periods of time, and still others may need to be permanently pinned. For example:
In IBM's operating systems for System/370 and successor systems, the term is "fixed", and such pages may be long-term fixed, or may be short-term fixed, or may be unfixed (i.e., pageable). System control structures are often long-term fixed (measured in wall-clock time, i.e., time measured in seconds, rather than time measured in fractions of one second) whereas I/O buffers are usually short-term fixed (usually measured in significantly less than wall-clock time, possibly for tens of milliseconds). Indeed, the OS has a special facility for "fast fixing" these short-term fixed data buffers (fixing which is performed without resorting to a time-consuming Supervisor Call instruction).
Multics used the term "wired". OpenVMS and Windows refer to pages temporarily made nonpageable (as for I/O buffers) as "locked", and simply "nonpageable" for those that are never pageable.
In OS/VS1 and similar OSes, some parts of systems memory are managed in "virtual-real" mode, called "V=R". In this mode every virtual address corresponds to the same real address. This mode is used for interrupt mechanisms, for the paging supervisor and page tables in older systems, and for application programs using non-standard I/O management. For example, IBM's z/OS has 3 modes (virtual-virtual, virtual-real and virtual-fixed).[11]
When paging and page stealing are used, a problem called "thrashing" can occur, in which the computer spends an unsuitably large amount of time transferring pages to and from a backing store, hence slowing down useful work. The phenomena is associated with the concept of a working set which is the minimum set of pages that should be in memory in order for useful progress to be made in a task. Thrashing occurs when there is insufficient memory available to store the working sets of all active programs. Adding real memory is the simplest response, but improving application design, scheduling, and memory usage can help. Another solution is to reduce the number of active tasks on the system. This reduces demand on real memory by swapping out the entire working set of one or more processes.
Some systems, such as the Burroughs B5500,[12] use segmentation instead of paging, dividing virtual address spaces into variable-length segments. A virtual address here consists of a segment number and an offset within the segment. The Intel 80286 supports a similar segmentation scheme as an option, but it is rarely used. Segmentation and paging can be used together by dividing each segment into pages; systems with this memory structure, such as Multics and IBM System/38, are usually paging-predominant, segmentation providing memory protection.[13][14][15]
In the Intel 80386 and later IA-32 processors, the segments reside in a 32-bit linear, paged address space. Segments can be moved in and out of that space; pages there can "page" in and out of main memory, providing two levels of virtual memory; few if any operating systems do so, instead using only paging. Early non-hardware-assisted x86 virtualization solutions combined paging and segmentation because x86 paging offers only two protection domains whereas a VMM / guest OS / guest applications stack needs three.[16]:22 The difference between paging and segmentation systems is not only about memory division; segmentation is visible to user processes, as part of memory model semantics. Hence, instead of memory that looks like a single large space, it is structured into multiple spaces.
This difference has important consequences; a segment is not a page with variable length or a simple way to lengthen the address space. Segmentation that can provide a single-level memory model in which there is no differentiation between process memory and file system consists of only a list of segments (files) mapped into the process's potential address space.[17]
This is not the same as the mechanisms provided by calls such as mmap and Win32's MapViewOfFile, because inter-file pointers do not work when mapping files into semi-arbitrary places. In Multics, a file (or a segment from a multi-segment file) is mapped into a segment in the address space, so files are always mapped at a segment boundary. A file's linkage section can contain pointers for which an attempt to load the pointer into a register or make an indirect reference through it causes a trap. The unresolved pointer contains an indication of the name of the segment to which the pointer refers and an offset within the segment; the handler for the trap maps the segment into the address space, puts the segment number into the pointer, changes the tag field in the pointer so that it no longer causes a trap, and returns to the code where the trap occurred, re-executing the instruction that caused the trap.[18] This eliminates the need for a linker completely[3] and works when different processes map the same file into different places in their private address spaces.[19]
Some operating systems provide for swapping entire address spaces, in addition to whatever facilities they have for paging and segmentation. When this occurs, the OS writes those pages and segments currently in real memory to swap files. In a swap-in, the OS reads back the data from the swap files but does not automatically read back pages that had been paged out at the time of the swap out operation.
IBM's MVS, from OS/VS2 Release 2 through z/OS, provides for marking an address space as unswappable; doing so does not pin any pages in the address space. This can be done for the duration of a job by entering the name of an eligible[20] main program in the Program Properties Table with an unswappable flag. In addition, privileged code can temporarily make an address space unswappable With a SYSEVENT Supervisor Call instruction (SVC); certain changes[21] in the address space properties require that the OS swap it out and then swap it back in, using SYSEVENT TRANSWAP,.[22]

BIRMINGHAM >> An ebullient Richard Astrein stands inside his jewelry shop in downtown Birmingham and waves at many of the people going by.
"I'd say three-quarters of the people who walk in that door we know on a first-name basis," said Astrein.
New full-length windows give passersby a complete look at the newly remodeled shop at 120 West Maple.
The interior looks brighter. "I like looking out," said Pam McCardle, one of the shop's 10 employees.
The shop that specializes in custom-made, creative jewelry is celebrating its 40th year with a full renovation.
A store patron, Carl Shullman, compliments Astrein, who runs the Astrein's Creative Jewelers with brother Gary, on the new contemporary design.
"It looks nice," said Shullman of Birmingham. He comes to Astrein's, he said, "because I like the people."
The redo, which took place over nearly three weeks in January, features updated walnut cabinets, granite floors, colors in muted browns and grays and sleek LED lighting.
The showcases -- with jewelry by designers Simon G, Gabriel & Co., and Martin Flyer -- are built up higher so people don't have to stoop over to look at the products.
"We were just going to remove worn carpeting," said Astrein, but when they looked closer, they decided to keep going with a complete makeover, created by well-known restaurant designers, Ron Rea & Roman Bonislawski of Birmingham.
The store's prize possesion, a 1914 brass cash register, dominates the store center.
"It only goes up to $100, and it stills works," said Richard.
The business started back in 1974 when Craig, Richard's youngest brother, returned from a trip West with turquoise jewelry.
"He needed a place to sell it," said Richard.
The first shop, called What's Upstairs, opened in a 700-square-foot space over the current store, just west of Old Woodward.
A 1974 photo of three Astrein brothers -- Richard, Craig and Gary Astrein -- shows three 20-somethings smiling in summer short-sleeved shirts and jeans. The shop also offered leather purses, belts, figures and other accessories. In 1976, the business moved downstairs to its current location.
Beginning in 1979 the jewelry business exploded, said Astrein.
"We were doing incredible avante-garde design, and people were bringing their old gemstones (for custom designs)," said Richard Astrein. Three jewelers were casting pieces three times a week to keep up with demand.
"We did all kinds of creative items, most in yellow-gold," Astrein said.
Then after gold came the platinum phase. White gold and platinum remain popular, he said.
"Celebrating 40 years is quite an achievement," said Astrein.
John Heiney, executive director of Birmingham Principal Shopping District, agreed, attributing Astrein's Jewelry's success to several factors.
"They've a family-owned business, with a lot of continuous leadership," said Heiney. "They offer a quality product and high-quality service. Shoppers know them and they are well-loved."
Having them remodel now for the third time in 40 years is a "vote of confidence" for Birmingham, said Heiney.
Most businesses are fortunate to survive the first couple of years, said Astrein. "Now we're seeing third generations come in. Repeat business is our core business."
The Astreins work to give back. "We donate to more than 200 charities," said Richard.
Their premier charity, Stars Guitars, helps fund pediatric cancer survivor scholarships.
Richard joked that at the next renovation in 25 years, "I'll only be 85."
Astrein has seen the ebb and flow of business in Birmingham over the years.
For years, he said Birmingham was a main shopping hub, streets lined with boutiques.
"Then we lost Jacobson's (department store)," Astrein said. Somerset Collection opened, drawing people to Troy.
"We struggled for several years," said Astrein. "But we're in a resurgence."
Birmingham itself is at 97 percent occupancy in retail, he said, adding, "That's why we decided to do the remodeling."
But competition is tough out there, said Astrein.
The Internet is currently the business' "biggest challenge," he said. "We retailers are all competing with it."
He believes the pendulum is swinging back, though.
"People want the experience of touching and feeling," he said.
He believes customers can only stay locked up so long staring at a computer.
"You have to get out into the real world," he said.

The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking's Kaiser Rolls Recipe
Choosing which "classic" bread recipes to make this week from The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking was difficult. There were just too many possibilities. I decided on Kaiser rolls because I was intrigued (and slightly confused) by the folding technique.
Kaiser rolls can be made with a stamp, but who has one? (Fine, I do. But most people don't. And the times I used the stamp, I wasn't wild about the results.) I was happy to see instructions for folding the dough. Really it's more like tying a knot. Dough macramé.
The instructions baffled me upon the first few reads. Then I rolled up a kitchen towel and used that to practice on. After a couple of tries, it made sense.
The elasticity of this dough makes it easy to work with, but you have to figure out exactly how long you want the "legs" after I made the loop (and seriously, the book calls for a 12-inch piece of dough, but once you start handling it, it stretched quite a bit.) Even if the formed rolls look pretty good before they go into the oven, they don't always bake perfectly. This technique requires a bit of practice but when the rolls look just right, it's well worth the effort. So much better than rolls made with a stamp.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of The Fundamental Techniques of Classic Bread Baking to give away this week.

- Yield:Makes 12 rolls
- Active time: 45 minutes
- Total time:3 hours 45 minutes
- 812 grams /1 pound 12 2/3 ounces bread flour
- 430 grams / 15 1/8 ounces water
- 41 grams / 1 1/2 ounces eggs
- 29 grams / 1 ounce fresh yeast
- 19 grams / 2/3 ounce vegetable oil
- 16 grams / 1/2 ounce malt syrup
- 19 grams 2/3 ounce salt
- 18 grams / 2/3 ounce sugar
Prepare the mise en place.
Combine the bread flour with the water, eggs, yeast, vegetable oil, and malt syrup in the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the hook. Mix on low speed for about 4 minutes, or until blended.
Add the salt and sugar, increase the mixer speed tp medium, and mix for about 8 minutes, or until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, feels elastic, and gives some resistance when tugged.
Lightly oil a large bowl or container.
Scrape the dough into the prepared bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic film and set aside to ferment for 1 hour.
Lightly flour a clean, flat work surface.
Uncover the dough and divide it into 12 115-gram / 4-ounce rounds on the floured surface. Cover with plastic film and bench rest for 15 minutes.
Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Uncover the dough and, if necessary, lightly flour the work surface. If you have a kaiser roll stamp, press the center of the roll with it. If you don't have a stamp, lightly press on the dough to degas and carefully shape each round into a baguette about 12 inches long. Working with one piece at a time, form each baguette into a loop, crossing the ends with the right end being on the bottom. Pull the right end up and over the center of the loop and the push it under in the same direction. The left loop should now be pointing right. Take the left end and pull it up and under the center hole and then connect it to the other end. You should now have a roll that is rather like a rosette. Place 6 rolls, seam side down, onto each of the prepared pans. Cover with plastic film and proof for 1 hour.
About an hour before you are ready to bake the rolls, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Uncover the dough and transfer the rolls to the preheated oven. Bake for 22 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and transfer to wire racks to cool.

The chef has landed: Elusive Chang nabs high-profile Charlottesville home
Brace yourself, foodies. Chinese chef Peter Chang is back"Š and he's here to stay. According to a reliable source, the famously elusive Szechuan chef will be signing a lease this week for the former Asian Buffet space on U.S. 29 North and launching extensive renovations that could begin as early as next week. If all goes according to plan, the source says, the restaurant should open in December or January.
While Tim Rose, leader of the University of Virginia Foundation, which owns the 7,835 square-foot building, won't confirm that the property has been leased to Chang, the source says Chang "really wants this space" and that they are "99.9 percent sure" it will happen.
And that's good news to a pair of Virginia Academy Award winners. More on them in a moment.
During the short time Chang cooked at Taste of China in Albemarle Square, he created a national stir. The New Yorker even ran a piece on the Chang frenzy. Naturally, the publicity attracted people from all over to sample the fare from the spice maestro.
Not only is the Chang deal good news for foodies, it's good news for the property, which has become a bit of an eyesore with tall grass and weeds growing up in the cracks in the parking lot. In 2002, Coran Capshaw's WM Management Ltd. bought the site for $1.5 million. Four years later, the savvy music promoter sold it to the UVA Foundation for $2.5 million, leaving UVA to carry it through the real estate doldrums without a long-term tenant.
There have been Chang sightings in Marietta, Georgia, leading some to believe that Chang was setting up shop there, but according to our source Chang simply has friends there and likes to keep busy cooking. Chang quit Taste of China in March, mere days before the Hook's cover story chronicling his appeal.
"He's at a restaurant two weeks, and he just leaves!" huffed Northern Virginia-based actor Robert Duvall in a New York Magazine article about his new movie Get Low, which also stars fellow Academy Award-winner Sissy Spacek.
"I don't know how to track him down," grumbled Duvall. "My wife and I went to Charlottesville where he was supposed to be, and he was gone."
We know how you feel, Ned Pepper!
In the same article, the Albemarle-based Spacek resassures her co-star: "We're gonna find him."
With a little help from Dish.
"Really–- he's coming back?" exclaims Spacek during a recent chat with Dish on the Downtown Mall. "Oh, that's so exciting. I've got to tell Bob [Duvall]."
Dish got a peek at the project plans which call for a somewhat formal dining room with several private rooms on one side, an open kitchen, and a more casual atmosphere on the other side. Chang plans to take charge of the formal section, while a cooking school classmate will run the casual space. There are also plans for a large outdoor dining area.
"You can definitely count on us old timers being there when it opens," says Spacek.
Indeed, with four months to go until Chang brings out his first dish, there'll be plenty of time to dream about that spicy magic dancing on the tongue.

Not. Gonna. Happen.
Yeah, right. He's here. He's gone. Who cares? I tried his food. He's no Eric Ripert.
Yum! cant wait
This reminds me of my lawsuit.
Lector said, "....my first laugh out LOAD on the computer." That's sick.
Darn, I wish I had some good local asian food up here in the stix of wisconsin!
That was my first laugh out load on the computer today. And I've been on the computer far too much today.
Foodies? What are they? Like Realators?
angel eyes,
"the amount of vacant commercial real estate is huge and constantly growing."
That is why the City's desire to rezone a residential place to commercial was so incredibly stupid. Great deal for a homeowner that doesn't want to take care of their home, but stupid in terms of development. I know the county can be idiotic in the same way.
Nothing against Chang or restaurants in general, but I say it again - it's time to encourage better balanced commercial activity. Ones with reasonable jobs with benefits to compete with UVA, would really be nice. As resentment towards dumping China grows, this area is primed for all sorts of small cottage industries.
When I finally needed some new stainless flatware, I found that even Oneida had gone to slave labor markets. Price hadn't dropped but the quality sure had. I finally found two small American companies in the North East that each were making some simple, but nice and well made flatware. It cost me, what, 15% more? A sum total of 20 dollars more for something made better and that will last longer and provide jobs?
But you just don't see that down here in the hate unions South, do you? This area has the educated people and the financial backers to start something like that that cold really become a community staple.
Instead the Capshaws and the Danielsons and the Minors all want to back venues that cater to a vulnerable and contentious business model that hurts everyone around it but themselves without providing quality long term jobs.
ââ?¬Å?You eat out to get food that's unusual, or difficult to prepare."
No, boooo!. Thats why YOU go out to eat.
True, that is why I go out to eat. Most everybody else goes out to eat because they're too lazy to cook their own food, or worse.....they don't even know how. o_O
@ Andrea
Probably because Ragazzis doesn't do the "Neverending Bowl of Pasta" and "All you can eat processed white bread" like Olive Garden. The fatties love that sort of thing.
Well, Chef Chang, if you ever read this, please know that we here in Baton Rouge are in serious need of your fine cuisine.
Y'all come on down, ya hear.
A little bird told me that Mr. Chang is eying a place in Bacon Hollow. I say: Howdy neighbor!
I'll believe it when I see it. That's one helluva giant empty space right dere.......

Great news, and something to look forward to - I hope; .1% enthusiasm held in reserve.
Wow, name dropping Peter Chang, Coran Capshaw, Robert Duvall, and Sissy Spacek in one Hook article! If Dave Matthews had been said to be supplying organic local produce for the restaurant, then someone would have had a bingo.
Sorry Dave, Tim Rose doesn't rate very high in the glamor news. The average person couldn't pick him out of a line up.
More meow mix to pick from.....not.
So maybe the guy will "sign" a multi-year lease with UVA and UVA can securitize that lease and sell it. Anyone want to buy in?
Never got to try his food. maybe I will now. But this area really needs to get a grip on it's very lopsided business development here. There is more to life than eating out. One more reason so many Americans are fat.
"You eat out to get food that's unusual, or difficult to prepare."
No, boooo!. Thats why YOU go out to eat.
Agree that Chang's prices were reasonable. Maybe a little higher than your typical Chinese garbage but most entrees in the 10's.
That's the funny thing about most of the C'ville restaurant scene, but I find very few restaurants are overpriced and 90% of them are using local-sourced ingredients. Do people know how rare it is to find the depth and variety of reasonably priced and locally owned restaurants that Charlottesville has for the size of the town??
I say... Big Deal... most people around here don't give a hoot... and most can't afford to eat there.. I know I won't eat there..
Let Sissy and Bob eat there all they want.. I think it's silly and a bit too snobbish...
Big deal. Clamor on.
Honestly, all I ask for is an Olive Garden or Carrabas. How difficult would it be to have a restaurant like this in town, hmmm?
At UVA's cost basis of $2.5M, figure $20K minimum monthly rent. So it would have to sell "bowcoops" General Tso's chicken to handle that. That's one of the things about the real estate bubble; not only can normal people not buy houses without "creative financing" and 10% annual appreciation, but businesses can't pay the rents being asked. Taking a walk around town, the amount of vacant commercial real estate is huge and constantly growing. maybe Chang can strike a deal where he can rent for $10K and be able to afford it. UVA would lose money, but not as much as they're losing letting the place sit empty.
I hope the comment about olive garden or carrabas is a joke. it's an insult to the peter chang thread. :)
I used to crush some Asian Buffet. I remember when it closed down...like 7 years ago??? Hard to believe it has just been sitting there.
What's with the frequent requests all around the Hook comments for an "Olive Garden"? It's a freaking pasta joint. Like I said in the comments area about the new "Boneless Wings" joint - you never go to a restaurant and order pasta, or chicken. That's inexpensive, mindless food that one can prepare at home for 1/4 the cost. You eat out to get food that's unusual, or difficult to prepare.
I think only fat people want an Olive Garden, because of the "Neverending Bowl of Pasta" or whatever it is they have there, and all that endless garlic bread. Gorging on white bread and piles of wheat pasta......yeah, that's healthy for you. o_O No wonder Diabetes and obesity is absolutely epidemic in our country.
Agreed that Olive Garden is bunk though
Why do you need Olive Garden - there's Raggazzi's which is a perfectly reasonable "family style" restaurant for Italian if you don't want to go to some place more authentic like Fellini's.
We loved Chef Chang and his authentic yet innovative Chinese cuisine in contrast to the kinds of things the Asian Buffet (like most American Chinese restaurants) used to serve, and really hope this latest rumor becomes reality.
Has this been confirmed yet. For Lease sign is still on building and the property is still listed on Bob Kahn website.
In many cases, these local restaurants are even cheaper than their chain counterparts. For e.g., the prices at Fry's Spring Station aren't any higher than those at the california Pizza Kithcen ar Short Pump, and they have a lot better beer.
K doesn't know what it's talking about. Chang's prices at Taste of China were no higher than the low-end Chinese fare everywhere else in town serves. Just because something is better than something else doesn't make someone who appreciates the better version a snob. It just means they are less easily satisfied by inferior versions. But, hey, we know some people will take anything -- it's the reason GM cars are still being sold, why network TV still exists, why the Daily Progress hasn't lost all its circulation, and why McDonald's is still a money mint even though it always has the lowest rated burgers in taste tests.

'Planet Gear' is an irregular feature on DiS, in which we ask musicians to get a bit geeky and talk us through the equipment that makes the 'magic' happen...
On 19th March 2012 Soap&Skin (aka the intense Austrian 21-year-old Anja Plaschg) will release her new mini-album Narrow via Play It Again Sam. The mini-album is the follow-up to 2009's Lovetune for Vacuum. This new record features a song sung in German dedicated to her father who passed away in 2009 and a cover of 'Voyage Voyage', which was a global Europop smash back in the eighties for the curiously named chanteuse Desireless. DiS recently premiered the track 'Wonder' from the mini-lp which you can listen to via this player:
Here, Anja talks us through some of the instruments she used to record the mini-album...
This is my essential ancient harmonium, made by Carl Dörr in Vienna in the 18th Century. I found it on ebay when I was 17 years old. I asked the antique dealer if I could try it out at his warehouse, although I knew I couldn't afford the 1k he was charging. After playing it for 30 minutes he said that I could have it for free and that he will personally deliver it to my home. That was a moment which left me in tears. I have to tread it with my feet, and the organic bass is just terrific. You can hear it on my recorded tracks "The Sun" and "Big Hand Nails Down".
This is Richard, he is 104 years old and out of service with a desolate untuned condition. He has always been my companion. At times, he unloads with a big bang as he lets a string tear, but it's always moving to know that he's still living although I broke his bones. The red key is my favourite, it gives off a most devastating 'non-note' sound.
These are my vintage aero-organs or chord organs. They need an electric current to start an inner ventilator to blow out their exigent sound. I used them to record 'Xray Heartland' and 'Cry Wolf'.
You can catch up with the rest of the Planet Gear series here.

- Charm coalescence at relativistic energies (2003)
- The J/psi yield at midrapidity at the top RHIC (relativistic heavy ion collider) energy is calculated within the statistical coalescence model, which assumes charmonium formation at the late stage of the reaction from the charm quarks and antiquarks created earlier in hard parton collisions. The results are compared to the new PHENIX data and to predictions of the standard models, which assume formation of charmonia exclusively at the initial stage of the reaction and their subsequent suppression. Two versions of the suppression scenario are considered. One of them assumes gradual charmonium suppression by comovers, while the other one supposes that the suppression sets in abruptly due to quark-gluon plasma formation. Surprisingly, both versions give very similar results. In contrast, the statistical coalescence model predicts a few times larger J/psi yield in the most central collisions.

Barack Obama and his administration are refusing to impose a travel ban from West Africa into the United States. Meanwhile, the CDC is freaking out because a nurse who now has Ebola flew on a commercial jet.
A solid majority of Americans want a travel ban from West African countries. There are, in fact, direct flights from those countries to the United States.
If Barack Obama won't do it, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)Heritage ActionScorecardRep. John BoehnerHouse Republican AverageN/A and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)Heritage ActionScorecardSen. Mitch McConnellSenate Republican Average68% should force his hand. They should be calling for Congress to head back to Washington to vote on this travel ban. Before the election, make the Democrats take a position.
Then the American public can either see the Democrats really stand up to the President or see them so beholden to him they will not do the right thing.
This should be a no brainer. In an election year when the GOP will not even offer the hint of an agenda because they are playing it safe, this is a safe play. They should show leadership on this issue where Barack Obama is failing to lead.
And if Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)Heritage ActionScorecardSen. Harry ReidSenate Democrat Average11% plays defense for the President, it is just another reason to show the American public that we need Republicans in charge of the Senate to get the right thing done.

Lepidoptera Croceus Cake Plate
The New English
Sold Out
Fine Bone China Plate
Equally at home on a wall as they are on a table, these specimens are as much works of art as they are functional items. The Lepidoptera family of pieces, designed by Maxim, from the band The Prodigy features vibrant colours of the like rarely seen in ceramics and each of the delicate butterflies, has a bit of a dark suprise!
About Lepidoptera Range
This range has been designed for The New English by Maxim, the energetic powerhouse and lead singer with the internationally famous band 'The Prodigy'. Based on imagery drawn from his wonderful paintings (which are now gaining widespread international recognition) the range features an array of unusual creatures. Each distinctive, each imbued with its own characteristics but all sharing the species' unique combination of delicacy and strength.
Decorated with complex, multi-layer, screen printed, hand applied lithographs. Equally at home on a table, a wall, or display cabinet, these specimens are as much a piece of art as they are functional objects.

Article content
Former Chicago Cubs first baseman Mark Grace, a three-time Major League Baseball All-Star, was sentenced on Thursday to four months in jail, stemming from a drunk driving arrest in August.
Grace, 48, who also played for the Arizona Diamondbacks and worked for them as a television analyst, had pleaded guilty in a Phoenix court to endangerment and driving under the influence (DUI). He had faced four felony counts of aggravated drunk driving in what was his second arrest in 15 months.
He was put on two years probation. He starts serving jail time on Feb. 10, but will be allowed out during work hours.
Grace's attorney, Larry Kazan, could not be reached for comment. Grace was pulled over by Scottsdale officers in August for having an expired registration plate on his vehicle and was arrested after a field sobriety test.
He also was driving without a required interlock device on his vehicle and with a suspended license because of a prior 2011 drunk driving arrest in Scottsdale, police said.
A fan favorite in Chicago and Arizona, Grace lost his job as a Diamondbacks broadcaster after nine years because of the August arrest, officials have said.
Grace spent 13 seasons with the Cubs and three with the Diamondbacks, and was a three-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner. He finished with 2,445 hits, including 511 doubles and 173 home runs, 1,146 RBI and a .303 batting average. (Editing by Tim Gaynor, Cynthia Johnston and Gunna Dickson) REUTERS

|Clematis 'Rooguchi' with Lamb's Ear Leaves
Here in my USDA Hardiness Zone 6a garden in Indiana, I am thrilled with this summer we've been having.
I don't mean to brag or make anyone with weather woes cry or gnash their teeth or throw down their own gardening hoe in disgust, but this has been one of the nicest summers in my memory.
We've had rain when we needed it, for the most part, and I can't remember any particular days or stretches of days when it was too hot. In fact, out in the vegetable garden, I think the peppers would like it to be a bit hotter and drier. But the rest of the garden isn't complaining.
Really, it's been a good growing season. I barely remember our record breaking terrible winter.
Now, I could give you a twirl around the entire garden, starting with the Clematis 'Rooguchi' still blooming as it runs at ground level across one section of Plopper's Field. See how 'Rooguchi' is completely ignoring the support I am attempting to provide it?
Oh well, I'd rather have 'Rooguchi' running through the garden at ground level than have no 'Rooguchi' at all.
You can quote me on that!
Yes, I could give you a twirl through the entire garden but I'm going to just focus on the garden border I call August Dreams Garden. We'll see the other flowers another day.
August Dreams Garden is a flower border designed and planted to be at the height of bloom in late summer. It's coming along nicely after being planted back in 2011.
This is what I see in August Dreams Garden when I come out the back door in the evening to decompress from the day's activities.
If you walk around to the other side of the garden, the path side, you'll see touches of white from Tall Phlox, Phlox paniculata 'David'.
cup plant, Silphium perfoliatum. It has large leaves and can be a bit of a "my garden, I'm taking over" flower, so I hear. I shall soon be deadheading it to make sure it doesn't go to seed.
The sculpture in this garden, from Girly Steel, is barely visible this time of year when the Boltonia, Boltonia asteroides 'Snowbank' begins to bloom around it.
Even though it is mid-August, this garden border is far from finished with its blooms. There are more blooms to come. One of the asters is just beginning to show some color.
And once the asters start to bloom, the goldenrod, Solidago shortii 'Solar Cascade' will make its crescendo, drawing pollinators from near and far for a final dance in the garden.
matrix for the forbs, and giving the whole garden a prairie feel.
Now this garden border is one of my favorite garden areas here at May Dreams Gardens. It provides new blooms at a time when many gardens are winding down, extending the perpetual spring, first described by Sir Francis Bacon, through early fall.
It makes me happy to just stand by this garden border in the early morning before the sun is fully over the horizon, before I leave the garden to tend to life.
What's blooming in your garden in August? Please join in for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day and show us.
It's easy to participate. Post on your blog about your blooms on the 15th of the month, then leave a comment below to tell us about your blooms and a link on the Mr. Linky widget so we can find you. If you have any problems with the links or commenting, shoot me an email, and I'll help however I can.
As Elizabeth Lawrence once wrote, "We can have flowers nearly every month of the year."
