Built | 1928 |
Architect | C.W. Dickey & Hart Wood, Robert Miller, Rothwell Kangeter & Lester |
Architectural style | Italianate Spanish Colonial Revival style |
Governing body | Public |
Part of | Hawaii Capital Historic District (#78001020[1]) |
Added to NRHP | 1 December 1978 |
Honolulu Hale (originally called the Honolulu Municipal Building), located on 530 South King Street in downtown Honolulu in the City & County of Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, is the official seat of government of the city and county, site of the chambers of the Mayor of Honolulu and the Honolulu City Council.
In the Hawaiian language, hale (pronounced HAH-leh) means house or building. Honolulu Hale means Honolulu House (although the Hawaiian language word order would be Hale Honolulu). In 1978, it was listed as a contributing property to the Hawaii Capital Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
Honolulu Hale was an idea started by Joseph J. Fern. Before becoming a mayor-council type of government, Honolulu was administered by the Board of Supervisors. After the creation of the now-defunct County of Oʻahu, the Board of Supervisors met in city halls located in various downtown Honolulu locations. Supervisor Fern had a vision of a permanent home for the fledgling municipal government, which had only been created in 1900 upon passage of the Hawaiian Organic Act. When the County of Oʻahu and the Board of Supervisors dissolved in 1907 and established the City & County of Honolulu, Fern became its first mayor and began making preliminary plans for the construction of a city hall. Unfortunately, Fern died in 1920 of diabetes before he could persuade residents of the need for a permanent city hall. Mayor John H. Wilson, who was also the Honolulu Chapter President of the American Association of Engineers, carried on Fern's dream.
Honolulu Hale was finally completed in 1928 with the help of every major architect in town—C.W. Dickey, Hart Wood, Robert Miller, and Rothwell Kangeter & Lester—but did not open for business until the following year.[1] It was built in an Italianate Spanish Colonial Revival style that was popular in the islands at the time. Its interior courtyard, staircase, and open ceiling were modeled after the Bargello in Florence. Einar Peterson was commissioned to paint frescoes in the interior while Mario Valdastri was commissioned to install intricate stonework. In 1951, two three-story wings were added to the original structure.[2]
A new, high-rise Honolulu Municipal Building was later added at 650 South King Street. In 2006, it was renamed the Frank F. Fasi Municipal Building in honor of the city's most colorful and longest-serving mayors.[3]
Surrounding Honolulu Hale are other prominent historic and artistic landmarks: Aliʻiōlani Hale, Hawaiʻi State Capitol, ʻIolani Palace, Kawaiahaʻo Church, Sky Gate (a 24-foot (7.3 m) high sculpture by Isamu Noguchi), and the Territorial Building. Within walking distance are Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace, Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew and Washington Place.

- How to Read a Study Record
I. Create a clinical sample bank of neonates with lung disease to test hypotheses regarding the pathogenesis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).
II. Determine whether a developmental deficiency of surfactant protein B (SP-B) contributes to the occurrence of respiratory distress and BPD in these patients.
III. Study metabolic abnormalities associated with inherited deficiency of SP-B in these patients.
IV. Determine whether plasma nitrotyrosine levels, a marker of peroxynitrite mediated oxidant stress, are elevated in premature infants who develop BPD.
V. Measure the temporal changes in critical components of the inflammatory process (cell composition, inducible nitric oxide synthase, hyaluronan (HA), receptor for HA mediated mobility, and selected cytokines) in bronchoalveolar lavage, blood, and urine samples obtained from these patients, and to correlate these changes with their clinical course.
VI. Examine changes in the insulin-like growth factor axis that occur in the lungs of infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) and BPD.
VII. Determine the relationship between degradation of elastin and the clinical course of BPD.
VIII. Determine whether the normal fall in plasma endothelin-1 concentrations after birth are delayed in infants with RDS and BPD.

From the Tampa Tribune, Ira Kaufman joined The Fabulous Sports Babe to talk about the Bucs reporting for the start of training camp. Babe is very excited for this season for the first time in a long time, and it seems like Ira is inching closer to being positive about the outlook for the 2013 season.
Ira did say that the young talent on this team is poised to take the next step heading into this season. One of those is the newly resigned Mike Williams, and Ira and Babe discussed what bringing him back means to this team.
Another area to get excited about is the O-Line and the reutrn of key players Davin Joseph and Carl Nicks. With all of this talent all over the field, Babe and Ira both feel that this team could and should be in line for a trip to the playoffs.

I'm a dreamer.
Always have and always will be. And instead of feeling guilty about my secret life as a mom dreamer, I've learned to include my kids in my dreams.
My daughters both danced an excited dance with me in my office when I had received my first article acceptance.
They eagerly crowded into a smiling selfie with me when my book—hot off the presses—finally arrived in the mail.
They may be the only four- and six-year-olds who know what a New York Times Bestselling author is and they regularly read parenting magazines for me with article ideas. ("How about one on how much you love me, Mom?")
I think it's important for my kids to be a part of my dreams – in watching me set my goals, work hard to reach them, and celebrate when my dreams come true.
Because moms who dream can raise kids who dream.
And these moms would agree with me.

Berlin resident
Leigh has completed online and offline ID verification.
Great flat, we had a lovely time. Good size and perfect location. Highly recommended!
Do not hesitate to get that flat if you are looking to enjoy Berlin as a local! Great atmosphere, cool furniture and walkable distance to pretty much everywhere having the U-ban nearby. Leigh was easy to communicate with and even though we were late she stayed back to introduce the apartment and give us the keys. Would definitely recommend!!
Leigh is a very kind person, the flat is as seen in photos and placed near the very center of the town. Metro stations, restaurants and shops are close to the apartment. We really enjoyed our holidays there.
Leigh was waiting for us in her apartment when we arrived on a freezing cold late afternoon in november.We walked into a warm and inviting space with candles burning and home made cookies on the table that Leigh had bought for us from the lovely cafe downstairs. A gorgeous welcome! the apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos-full of character and charm, personal books, posters and postcards and lots of interesting pieces of furniture. Definitely not a bog standard ikea fitted apartment and anyone wishing for super modern luxury may not be fully satisfied here. We were, the atmosphere, warmth and character of this spacious apartment added another layer to our second memorable trip to Berlin. Leigh is a lovely, thoughtful host giving us recommendations and very responsive to messages and requests. The apartment is very well situated for travel/restaurants/bars and food shopping and exploring. Its a great area and we were fully satisfied on every level. If you are into raw fresh, organic and natural food, go and find the gorgeous Wait Till the Cows Come Home on Schonhauser Allee just around the corner-(open 10-4)
For those who are looking for sth typically "Berlinisch", this flat is made for them: warm, cosy, vintage and spacious. We were four of us and enjoyed it! Very practical: right above a biking shop, 5/10 min from the centre and its museum by bike, and 2 min walk from very nice restaurants. Leigh is very welcoming and keen to help and give hints to make your stay in Berlin unique!
We liked our flat very much, because it was spacious, clean, very quiet and located in a nice neighbourhood. Everything worked out perfectly. It was our first time with Airbnb, but for sure not the last time.
This flat was lovely! Leigh was very responsive about all of our questions of where to pick up the keys and was flexible about our check-in time. The apartment was beautiful with quirky light fixtures and furniture. It's in a perfect neighborhood that has nice coffee shops, restaurants, and bars all within walking distance.
Leight was very helpful and kind. That is a dream-place for those who are fond of antique and vintage stuff: the flat is full of vintage furniture and sophisticated details like books, paintings, photos, and etc. The neighbourhood is also very nice: great cafe downstairs, lots of shops and just 15 min walk to Alex Platz!
The apartment is charming! just like in the photos. Excellent location - Very close to everything! there is a cafe and bike rental shop with very nice people right next to the apartment. Leigh was very flexible, we announced that we want to book the apartment at a short notice and she was fine with it, the check in and the check out went smoothly. And...the beds are really comfortable
Leighs Apartment liegt sehr zentral. Man kann vieles zu Fuß erreichen, auch die Bus- und Bahnanbindung könnte nicht besser sein! Um die Ecke sind viele tolle Restaurants und Cafes. Man fühlt sich in dieser Gegend von Berlin rundum wohl. Das Apartment ist sehr stylish und liebevoll eingerichtet. Leigh haben wir persönlich nicht kennen gelernt, was aber kein Problem darstellte.
It was a pleasure to receive Sada, unfortunately only for one day! She is friendly and nice guest! recommend!
Leigh è stata un ospite ottimo. Ha lasciato l'appartamento in buone condizioni. Sarà un piacere ospitarla ancora.
Kim e Sada, were for me the best guests of the season 2014 in Cavea lication. They asked me a room for one night and later they staied for 5 nights. They loved the simplicity of authentic antropological hospitality. They looked for a full-immersion in the place, they lived with curiosity therir stay activat al five senses and learning the taste of unusual traditional food and scenary of landscape, from Sassi and Rupester park of oriental churches in the cave, to regional hinterland in a memorable day of tourney to the descover hinterland of the calanchi park, Aliano (the village where Carlo Levi - autor of Christ stopped at Eboli was confined- ) until thw forest of Pollino together where we looked for mushroom...!
E' stato un piacere conoscere ed ospitare Leigh e la sua amica. Hanno rispettato le nostre regole e la nostra casa. Corrette e precise nel check-in e check-out.
Leigh e la sua amica sono ragazze tranquille e simpatiche è stato un piacere ospitarle.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package.

Description of Targhan
A straightforward platform game with a simple kill-the-evil-foozle plot, Targhan recalls Psygnosis' earlier Barbarianbut with better graphics and more difficult monsters.
Overall, it's a standard side-scrolling affair that has some nice graphical effects and VERY difficult gameplay that would come to characterize every subsequent Silmarils game. Although the game boasts of "more than 120 landscapes and 40 different characters," repetitive levels and cardboard-cutout characters make it feel a lot smaller. Plus, the fact that you can only save the game at specific "save points" is a curious console-game quirk that only adds to the frustration level. Although the animations of most monsters are good to amazing, you will be too preoccupied with finding the next save point to notice them.
In short, don't try this one unless you consider yourself an arcade veteran.

Racism in our schools.....Teachers Penalized for Cheating on Test
We're supposed to be equal, but we are constantly faced with this issue of racism. This weeks topic is based on the story about the teachers arrested in Atlanta, for cheating on a standardized test. Eleven of those teachers out of twenty are being sentenced to twenty years for cheating on a standardized test. Of course, those eleven being sentenced are black teachers; while all of the other 9 white teachers walk away scott free. In this segment you will have your chance to express your views on this controversial topic. Are these teachers getting what they deserve, or is the punishment over the top? You will also get to speak with Waleeka a financial advisor. She will share her financial experiences, and show us how to get out of financial debt. Please, make sure you tune in; this segment will definitely leave you empowered, enriched, and encouraged to do great things. We will see you in the playhouse.
Educational System is not Teaching Kids so Why are we Handcuffing the Teachers?
Schools are no longer a path to cultivation and a life of the mind; they are on a path of a job. Along the way, as schools became a training ground for corps of workers, they also became a means of furthering national interests. The debate about schools had become part of the debate about national power. Which brings us to the twenty-first century.
When George W. Bush announced No Child Left Behind (NCLB), his purported intention was to encourage a set of practices and institute a set of assessments that would ensure every child got the same good start at school. Implicit in that formulation was the now familiar premise that it was up to schools to close the income gap between the rich and the poor. In its most beneficent form, it could have made a powerful difference in the lives of many children. If NCLB had ensured that all kids would learn how to read and that no child would become disenchanted enough to drop out, it might have been wonderful. But that's not how NCLB played out.
Within just a few years, teachers were rushing to make sure that each child got a higher score on the standardized tests than he or she had gotten the year before. School superintendents also felt compelled to see to it that their schools got higher scores every year. What had been promoted as a means of ensuring that all children received the fruits of our educational system became a relentless push toward improved test scores. With each year, more and more focus was on the scores themselves and less on the education the scores were intended to measure. At the national level, politicians threatened that if we didn't educate everyone, once again our country might fall behind. The conversation was less about giving everyone access to reading, thoughtful engagement in civic life, or the pleasures of ideas, and much more about seeing to it that everyone could earn a decent wage.

From parents, to students, to administrators, teachers and policy makers, teachers around the country call out the real issues behind today's declining U.S. education system. In pursuit of answers and solutions, educators will provide an in-depth analysis and insightful perspectives on the factors and variables that determine a student's future.
Hosts Tammy Gaitor and Rodney Jordan look at each piece of the educational puzzle: from a cultural disconnect among teachers and students, to standardized testing, ineffective educational policies, inadequate administrators and most importantly, perspectives from "on the ground" soldiers in the battle for educational equality.
Backed with hands-on experience and keen insights, Gaitor and Jordan conclude that America's educational system is in a state of crisis; and, unless significant actions are taken, the system will continue to rapidly decline.

A fascinating piece from today's Washington Post about Allen Andersson, the rich American who helped bring Manuel Zelaya to power in Honduras in 2005:
And then, there's one of his all-time favorite multimillion-dollar gambits, the time he played presidential kingmaker in Honduras . . . and won. Barely noticed outside Tegucigalpa, Andersson assumed a key — many say decisive — offstage role in the 2005 election of Manuel "Mel" Zelaya, the recently deposed president of Honduras.
As Honduras convulsed this month over Zelaya's ouster — in his pajamas — in a military coup, Andersson spoke for the first time about what he proudly describes as the "shenanigans" he orchestrated in the final days of the 2005 upset. It is a saga sprinkled with heaps of cash, private detectives, sting operations, attack ads, internecine squabbles and Andersson's epic grudge against Zelaya's wealthy, dashing opponent, Porfirio "Pepe" Lobo, whose last name means "wolf" in Spanish.
And there's this interesting section:
The 2005 Honduran election pitted Mel Zelaya, the leftist son of a well-heeled businessman, against Pepe Lobo, the president of the Honduran congress. Lobo, the clear front-runner, was the former head of the national forestry agency in a country plagued by illegal logging of precious hardwoods, such as mahogany. Andersson had contempt for Lobo, suspecting that he surreptitiously condoned illegal logging that had decimated indigenous communities…
[Andersson] didn't trust the Honduran media, saying it was almost completely controlled by various oligarchs. So, he took over a small newspaper, El Libertador, and encouraged tough stories about Lobo. He hired a U.S. polling firm, Greenberg Quinlan Rosner, to conduct surveys. And he also funded private-eye forays in Honduras by the Environmental Investigation Agency, a nongovernmental organization with offices in London and Washington that had ferreted out illegal loggers in Asia.
The intrigue commenced: One EIA agent posing as a lumber buyer secretly videotaped a meeting in Miami with a Honduran congressional candidate, Gilma Noriega, and her father, lumber dealer Guillermo Noriega. On the tape, Gilma Noriega says payoffs to government officials can be made to ensure a steady flow of lumber, and brags that their business will be protected if her father's best friend, Lobo, is elected. "Pepe Lobo will be our savior," Guillermo Noriega says on the tape…
Read the rest. As I said before, Zelaya was no radical. His crime, in the eyes of those who overthrew him, was not his allegedly anti-democratic tendencies — you have to be stupid to think the Honduran elite cares anything at all about democracy — but his approval of a big minimum wage increase, which was desperately needed in a country where so many workers are poor.

Attacks by Teen Groups Rising in D.C. and Nation
By Theola Labbé-DeBose
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, October 13, 2008; B01
D.C. police say they are seeing a growing number of teenagers and young adults traveling in groups to assault and rob unsuspecting citizens, a trend that mirrors crimes in cities across the country.
In an eight-hour period last week, five people were attacked by juveniles in separate incidents, including an armed carjacking, in the Southwest waterfront neighborhood. And in the past month, there have been between seven and 11 "pack robberies" in or near Adams Morgan in Northwest Washington, Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said.
Similar attacks have occurred in the Brookland area of Northeast and Chinatown. Police said the crimes are not necessarily related but are part of an increase that has led to heightened enforcement.
"They're looking for someone who has a cellphone or someone using an iPod. Or they're just looking for some fast cash or a credit card," Lanier said Friday at a news conference in Adams Morgan, where she announced that there will be more patrols there. "You'll have a lone person walking, and there are five young males or more, and it's ridiculous. There's no need to beat people in those circumstances, but that's what they do. Just senseless."
The attacks in Southwest unfolded between 5 p.m. Monday and 1 a.m. Tuesday. The trouble began when five teenagers on bicycles attacked a man from behind, pushed him to the ground, hit him in the face and stomach, and fled. Police said they think that the attackers were between 16 and 18 years old.
A 52-year-old lawyer suffered serious head trauma after four to six teenagers beat him in the 1000 block of Sixth Street SW about 9 p.m. Monday. Later Monday, also in Southwest, two teenagers stuck a gun in a man's face, slapped him and demanded his belongings, police said. After the victim said he didn't have anything, the teenagers fled, police said.
In another incident, a man was hit in the head from behind with a brick. And three youths confronted a Southwest resident early Tuesday in the 200 block of I Street SW, surprising him after he parked his car at an apartment building. After forcing a gun to his head, the youths stole $20 and his car and led a U.S. Capitol Police official on a chase until they crashed the car, authorities said. Canine units eventually forced Raymond Sturgis, 17, of the 200 block of K Street SW out of hiding, and he has been charged as an adult.
Irv Gamza, 83, who has lived in Southwest for more than four decades, said crimes committed by teenagers have become more serious in the past several years. "First they just annoy or harass people. Then they start getting physical. And then they rob," Gamza said.
Gamza, who is a member of the police Citizens' Advisory Council, said that if anyone in the neighborhood claims not to be afraid of groups of roaming juveniles, they "are just lying to themselves."
"Right now, the major concern of residents is that people are putting guns to their faces when they're coming home from work or dinner," he said.

I've been to Adams Morgan, and its a fun place to go, but I'm usually traveling with a large group of people.
Walking around anywhere in DC alone at night is probably a bad idea to begin with.
Another prime example of today's youth of America..
For our future generation's sake I suggest we all work on our foot-to-ass coordination with the teenager(s) in our life.
We are only as vulnerable as we are naive.
I just returned from a week in VA with two days spend in DC. Man, to be there and be unarmed was not a friendly thing. Only once did we venture away from the tourist areas. Always had the Spyderco, but no Smith. Left before dark.

It's too bad that Police Chief C. Lanier and the mayor aren't listed among the victims being attacked. It would seem like justice to me for the putz's to be on the receiving end of these gangs when they are forcing the citizens of D.C. to live unarmed and in fear of crime.

So the root article was about DC but the topic sentence seems to indicate the issue is growing into a nationwide problem and might just visit a town near you someday soon. I think it best to consider a "what if" scenario before the real thing "considers" me. You don't have to get anywhere near DC, things like this have a habit of coming home, no matter where "home" really is located.

BSOD because of RAM
I have a computer with following specifications:
MSI A8N Neo4 Athlon 3200+ 3 GB RAM - 2x1GB CORSAIR VS1GB400C3 and 2x512MB GEIL GE1GB3200 BHDC The problem is in BSOD for which I assume that they come from RAM, because minidump files point to random causes and NTOSKRNL is the one who always crashes. I tested ram thoroughly with memtest86+, windows memory diagnostics, hci memtest and gold memory pro. All programs show up errors when all modules of RAM are inserted. Everything is fine when only GEIL RAM is inserted, so obviously CORSAIR causes problems. Memtest86+ once found an error with both sticks, but not when only one present. Same thing goes for HCI memtest. Gold memory pro finds problems with single module and when both modules are inserted at once (but it happened now twice that it didn't detect any errors after BIOS reset, so that's very strange). Anyway, I tried with several different settings for RAM in BIOS, but without any outcome difference. Perhaps I didn't hit the proper settings, so I'm asking you to help me out with any useful ideas. Here is BIOS menu for RAM: http://shrani.si/f/C/Sa/2iMVIO8s/img3443.jpg |

Hi krneki,
Can you give us some snips of the different tabs in CPU-Z of each of the memory slots ? |

As you have posted on another site.
BSOD because of RAM - Tech Support Forum The answer is the same IMO you are using miss matched ram. Sometimes the same spec rams by different manufactures don't work well together. |

I know of no ram that voltage is set that high. The highest factory specs I have ever seen is 1.65v. Remove the ram and inspect, it should have on it the max. voltage for that stick.

Free (nook/Kindle) Creating an Intimate Marriage [Christian Advice]
Creating an Intimate Marriage: Rekindle Romance Through Affection, Warmth and Encouragement by Jim Burns is just what it says in the title, free courtesy of Christian publisher Baker's Bethany House imprint.
Currently free @ B&N and Amazon UK, will likely drop in the main store and possibly show up at Christian Book and perhaps Sony as well, but for a short time if Baker's still keeping their non-fic freebies available for one day only, which it looks like they're doing. Now a repeat freebie, probably just for one day @ B&N (may also drop in the UK), Amazon UK (new ASIN, slated to drop in the main store), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians), and ChristianBook (ADE-DRM ePub available worldwide). Franken-Description amalgamated from the B&N and Amazon blurbs, since neither was really all that great on its own It's Not Too Late to Find Intimacy and Fulfillment Don't settle for mediocre when it comes to satisfaction in marriage--pull out all the stops and discover the joy of true intimacy! This book will help you take back the life you dreamed of when you said your vows and experience the joys of an awe-filled marriage. Jim Burns' honest and vulnerable writing coupled with practical advice will inspire you to reconnect with the most important person in your life: your spouse. If you think intimacy in marriage is an impossible goal, think again. Even if your relationship is the high maintenance variety, you can still find that meaningful connection you are seeking by cultivating three important ingredients in your relationship: Affection, Warmth, and Encouragement--AWE. Sharing personal stories of both success and failure, Jim Burns' candid and vulnerable style will encourage you to work toward rekindling the fires of your romance, no matter how chilly the coals may have grown. Important areas discussed include communication, sexuality, friendship, forgiveness, worship, attitudes, and priorities. This is not a pie-in-the-sky approach to marriage. The challenges of everyday life with a spouse are faced head-on by someone who has not only experienced them himself but also coached hundreds of other couples and individuals in their struggles. The practical help he offers will equip you to tackle the real-life issues of marriage and find true and lasting intimacy with your spouse. Each chapter includes helpful follow-up exercises and questions for personal reflection. Last edited by ATDrake; 02-12-2015 at 01:50 AM. |

Jerremy took my to a very special place (the bottom of a volcano - it is a long story) and told me to read the last comment on my blog immediately.
In it, he asked me a very special question. As I finished reading, my heart raced. When I turned back to my SL screen, he was on one knee. When I gave him the answer he was looking for, he showed me the secret building project that he spoke about in his Man Behind the Goatee interview. This is that build:
If you will recall, periwinkle is my favorite color. This ring is perfect and beautiful and is just gorgeous on my hand.
Jerremy gave me the most perfect, most beautiful proposal any woman has ever had. It was an absolute surprise and just perfect for a blogger. I am the luckiest woman in Second Life because Jerremy is in my life. I love him more than I could ever express properly. And I am so excited that I will get to be his SL wife.
21 comments:
Thank you all!!! I am still a bit shocked and I cannot stop smiling!! I do love him so much. It was a total and utter surprise, too - I thought we were just going to go kitchen fixture shopping yesterday evening! I could not understand why Jerremy was so intent on knowing when I was going to post his interview. I chalked it up to him being excited to see shirtless photos of himself on my blog. Who knew?
ReplyDeleteThat was my first attempt at making a ring. It was all done from scratch using tiny prims. If anyone is interested here is one place to get started http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/2007/05/day-223-creating-jewelry-part-3.html. It is a platinum band with a large Periwinkle sapphire, surrounded by several blue and clear diamonds. The Periwinkle sapphires are extremely rare, I had to mine that one from the volcano ;-)
Tymmerie, you have made me the happiest man in Second Life. I love you.I know this comment is a bit late but I did want to acknowledge all of your comment and kind words!! Thank you each and every one of you! Jerremy and I are thinking of having an early June wedding and are getting ready to make each others' wedding rings. We actually met when he was looking at some land that was for sale next door, saw my green dot on the map and IM'd me to ask what the neighborhood was like. I had a mad crush on him by the end of that first conversation. So, you never know when love will strike!
ReplyDelete- Ayakia MarderApril 14, 2008 at 12:41 AM
Ohh, this is soo cute! I'm so happy for you!
Seems like you two are perfect for each other! ;)
Anyways, congrats! <3

Towards Advanced Interaction Design Concepts
Dijkman, Remco and Dirgahayu, Teduh and Quartel, Dick (2006) Towards Advanced Interaction Design Concepts. In: 10th IEEE International Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference, EDOC '06 (pp. pp. 1541-1553).
Abstract: | In this paper we analyse the interaction mechanisms provided by Web Services technology and by CORBA. Specifically we analyse the request/response, callback, polling and (multicasr) message passing mechanisms. As a result we present Coloured Petri Nets that capture the behaviour of these mechanisms precisely. Based on our analysis we define concepts for representing the Web Services and CORBA interactions in a suitable and platform independent manner. These concepts can be used for platfonn independent design of distributed applications, while they (provably) maintain the consistency with platform specific implementations. Because their behaviour is defined by Petri Nets, the concepts also support simulation, validation and verification of designs. We also evaluate the suitability of Urn's concepts for representing the mechanisms and the degree of platform independence that these concepts can achieve. |

Fall isnt just for planting - its for planning! Garden centers too often wait until winter to plan for the following spring and beyond. Start now making your sales, marketing, merchandising and operational plans for 2013, while all of the information you gained at the IGC 2012 last month is fresh on your mind. When you start your planning now, youll have more time to create an achievable timeline to success that doesnt get in the way of selling in the spring.
IGC Inspirations
Heres just a sampling of what we learned at the IGC Show this year. Keep these tips in mind while planning ahead:
Remember what Rick Bayless talked about in his keynote - there is a way to expand and grow your business to existing and new customers by logical brand extension. In his case, he took the ingredients and recipes that he served to customers in his restaurant and created packaged items sold in the aisles in Whole Foods Markets. In the case of your garden center, take a group of individual items and make a package. Dominating your marketplace in planted containers is something you can do differently than anyone else - it just requires focus and planning.
Remember what Judy Sharpton told you about cause marketing in her IGC Know2Grow Retail Conference session. If you dont know about America in Bloom, contact the program to find out how your town can be involved. If you havent looked into Pink Days, the breast cancer awareness program centered around Invincibelle Spirit hydrangea, contact Proven Winners to see what other garden centers are doing. Any size garden center with any customer demographic can make this a successful program that benefits the community - and the bottom line.
Kyle Lacys panel discussion on how garden centers are using social media made it clear - if you arent using social media, youre dead. Master all forms of social media now! If you havent connected to where 80 percent of your customer base is, youve lost.
Robert Hendricksons session on finances with Steve Bailey drilled the idea that businesses use real numbers to make real business decisions. In the duos work with garden centers around the country, they have a baseline for comparisons of what looks great, good and not-so-good. If you havent talked to Steve, get in touch, because your planning could be enhanced if you have a baseline to give guidance to your buying, marketing and operations staff.
How could we forget the bus tour visit to The Gardens at Ball Horticultural? The photos of those mixed containers - you liked them enough to take their picture, now like them enough to show them to the person in charge of your mixed container selection. Incorporate some of Balls ideas into your own container gardening weekend next April.
What a great idea for Blumen Gardens to have an event space to hold receptions and special events! Do you have an event space like their Tea Room? If youve never researched the events market, this fall is the time to determine if your town needs another venue - it could be your garden center!
Vertical and living walls - need I say more? You saw them at The Gardens at Ball and in different booths on the trade show floor. You saw them in the airport as you arrived, and you heard about them at the conference. The idea isnt going away. Consumers are going to buy them from you (or someone else), so plan now and have a great living wall installed for your open house next spring.
Those new products in the New Vendor Zone wowed you! Once you get confirmation that the orders are placed, have a staff meeting to determine how youre going to merchandise these new offerings, what form of advertising is best to promote them.
Did you see all those garden writers, bloggers, social media experts and photographers at the show? Reach out to them and talk about what great new products and ideas you took away from the IGC Show. Tell them about the new products youre going to be featuring in your store, and find out if they need additional information or contact resources so they can feature them.
NOW IS THE TIME Start now making your sales, marketing, merchandising and operational plans for 2013, while all of the information you gained at the IGC 2012 last month is fresh on your mind.
Fall Is for Planning! Put those IGC Ideas into Action
From: Garden Chic, Best of Show Issue, 2012

Designer Jeans reviews
Denim Review: O*T*R Renegade Skinny Jean in Notorious
This weeks review is on a pair of O*T*R Renegade Skinny jeans in Notorious. I got sent these by Boutique To You a while ago and I was pleasantly suprised by them actually. I am always slightly hesitant when so many new brands come on the scene and then just disappear so I always tend to stick to what suits me the best but these O*T*R jeans have been a good shock. I hope the brand stays around!
At first I thought they would just be another cheap pair of jeans which were not a very nice fit or have a nice look to them, but I was wrong as soon as I put them on. They are leggings so they are super skinny all the way to the ankle and they definitely elongate your legs. They are a lower rise which is just how I like the rises to be and they run pretty true to size for leggings, I took a 27 in these and they fit just fine.
The back pockets are also in a very good position but they are accentuated by the stitching lines on the butt. They have moto style stitching all around the top area of the pockets and a few lines on the sides of the pockets as well as at the hem line. I find these lines really add some character to the jeans as the wash is very plain and subtle, they definitely make them more interesting. I do feel that the lines definitely don't make the butt look as good as it could if the jeans were plain but the design is intriguing so I like it.
They are made with cotton and polyester so if you have a irritation to polyester then these do itch a bit. They are so pretty though so it's worth actually putting up with the slight itching. The denim is really thin and stretchy as well so they hug your body perfectly while still maintaining the appearance of a jean rather than a legging. The wash is a medium to light blue which has a sort of dusty look to it so it's easy to pair with a lot of colours or just neutrals.
I think these are definitely a fun jean for fashion purposes but for essential jeans which are really sturdy and flattering I would still recommend the main stream brands. These do make a nice change though and quite a few celebs are a fan of them already! You can buy these jeans at Boutique To You for $136.

Denim Review: Paige Premium Verdugo Jeggings In Eternity
This weeks review is on a pair of jeans similar to my last review, the Paige Premium Verdugo jeggings in Eternity. I got these around the same time as the 7 For All Mankind jeans in Garnet and I like them maybe just a little bit more. The only reason is because of the shade of purple/red they are, it's beautiful.
The fit of these jeans is the classic Verdugo jegging fit, super stretchy and really comfortable yet still remaining flattering. They have a low rise which is the perfect height and the one thing I love about Paige's jeans is that she knows how to make the back rise a bit higher so you don't show off your butt when you sit down. This pair is made from cotton and elastane and is so soft! Being that these are a twill material they do attract the fluff and hairs so they do get quite dirty quickly but that's easily removed with some tape.
The colour is my favourite thing about these jeans! I fell in love with them a long time ago when I saw them on Blake Lively (here). It's a deep red but it has tones of purple in it as well, it's a really unique shade and it's just so pretty! If I had the choice of only wearing one coloured pair of jeans, it would be this colour. It's perfect for so many occasions as it's warm and and it reminds me of ruby's. When I wore these to London to see Paige she said that the Eternity was one of her favourites too.
I would definitely recommend these to you if you are looking for a coloured jean, the red tones are definitely in this season and they match pretty much everything. I was sent these jeans by Designs by Stephene and I was over the moon because I had wanted them for so long. You can buy Paige jeans at their online store here.

Denim Review: 7 For All Mankind The Skinny in Garnet
This weeks review is on a pair of 7 For All Mankind The Skinny leggings in Garnet. I've always had a thing for maroon coloured denim and when I found these online at 7 For All Mankind, I fell in love.
The reason I like these so much is because I trust 7 For All Mankind when it comes to fit and comfort. I have a couple of pairs of their Gwenevere in the gummy denim and I thought it was time to try their new cut, The Skinny. Comparing this cut to the Gwenevere, these are definitely longer on the inseam and the rise feels a little bit higher. The pockets are also plain and don't have their signature squiggle design. I prefer the Gwenevere to these, only marginally, but that's because I prefer the shorter inseam. Other than that, they fit pretty much the same and are just as comfortable.
The wash is a beautiful, deep red, it's a lot like a maroon colour and it's really warm. The shade has a Christmasy feel to it because of the warmth it gives off. There are marble undertones to it as well, the marbling is a shade of brown and it gives the jeans a lot of character. They are not plain like a lot of coloured denim is. The detailing is what makes them so unique in my opinion. I love the wash so much because of the two tones to it. Coloured denim is something I am a huge fan of but unfortunately I don't get to review many pairs of.
I took a 27 in these, which is my normal size in their gummy denim leggings. I vary between a 27/28 in their normal jeans but always opt for my smaller size when it comes to the leggings as they are so stretchy. They definitely didn't get it wrong when they named this cut The Skinny though, they are definitely super skinny all the way down and really flattering. I would honestly recommend these if you want a pair of deep red jeans with a depth and character to the wash. Buy these jeans at 7 For All Mankind for only $99.

Denim Review: J Brand Kane in Night Hawk
This weeks review is a guest review for the guys. The J Brand men's Kane slim fit jeans in Night Hawk are being reviewed by a long time denim lover!
These jeans are a low rise, straight leg jean which are fitted but not too tight in the thighs. They fit very snug which is how I like my jeans to fit as I find them more slimming. The inseam is pretty long; it runs at 35 inches which is not the best for those of us with shorter legs so I will have to get these hemmed. These jeans have a zip fly instead of a button fly which is not really to my preference, I much prefer a button fly as it doesn't keep slipping down. The leg opening is just the right size to fit over shoes too.
This Night Hawk wash is a very pretty, dark blue with lap whiskering. The whiskering is subtle but it's not cheap and tacky looking. It's done really well which makes it look as authentic as possible, especially as they were not created naturally. They look more worn in on the back than they do on the front as well. The rivets and buttons have a green rusting effect on them. They look kind of like they were pulled off the titanic at the bottom of the ocean which is pretty cool. The simple leather patch on the back of the jeans is also a nice touch.
The back pockets are true to J Brand's style and are completely plain which is a nice, refreshing change. They don't have any tacky nonsense on them which can get quite annoying when you are looking for simple jeans. The pockets are also positioned quite central which is good because the wider apart they are, the less flattering they look. It's suprising how a really good fitting pair of jeans can change the way you look.
The denim feels quite grainy but of good quality. They are 100% cotton but they are a thinner denim which feels like it will stretch out quite quickly. I've worn these once and they felt like they were expanding a bit as I wore them from the start. That's not necessarily a bad thing as it's always good when the breaking in process is shorter.
Overall, I would recommend these if you are looking for something simple and plain. They would be a great pair for night time wear as they are pretty smart and close fitting. Buy these jeans at J Brand for $224.
