Retreat will be Friday, March 9, 8:00 am - 4:30 pm at Kellogg West. Discussion topics will relate to a growth plan for Distance Learning. Online discussions will begin a week prior to the retreat, continue for one week following, and will be moderated by Kerry Stern. Retreat participants to be invited include EDC members, online instructors, IET staff, Academic Senators, and others as space allows. Dr. Feddersen will be asked to participate as well.
Mt. SAC is the site for the Pre-conference to be held on Sunday, March 25. Kerry noted that there is still a need for many volunteers.
A Blackboard demo will be held at the EDC meeting on March 8. This will be a 30-45 minute demonstration beginning at 11:00 am. Prentice Hall will conduct the demo on how to use Blackboard with a course.
FIPSE (Fund Improvement Post Secondary Education) is offering a LAAP (Learning Anytime Anywhere Partnership) grant. Virginia McBride explained the grant and the process and offered to write the grant proposal for the EDC. Virginia suggested the committee see the web site for the grant priorities at
. If the EDC decides it is interested in this grant, Virginia said a single or multiple priority needs to be selected, and the group should decide what aspects of quality to focus on. She stated that this is a three-year project, and the deadline is March 15. Virginia may be contacted through her email at
or voice mail at 626-355-0974.
Kerry said that items for Online Learning may be placed at the Reserves Desk in the Library and noted that they should be advertised. Kerry and Linda Small can email Distance Learning articles to interested persons.
Once this is set up, Terri will announce to Academic Senate that these books are available.
After consulting with Joan Sholars, Terri Beam determined that the EDC can nominate a "Faculty of the Month". This would be a faculty member who has contributed in any way to educational delivery, and the nomination would come from the EDC. Nominations will be held at the first EDC meeting of each month. The committee agreed to nominate Barbara Vigano for the month of January and Ralph Jagodka for February. Terri will fill out the form for Barbara, and Kerry will complete the form for Ralph.
Mark Fernandez asked the EDC to decide on a web page heading for the reporting programs.
Kerry stated that the position for the Honors representative has not yet been filled.

Brad Goreski, the bow-tied celebrity stylist and star of Bravo's "It's a Brad, Brad World," has partnered with online retailer Copious for the launch of its new men's shopping section. Goreski, who first shot to fame as Rachel Zoe's associate on "The Rachel Zoe Project" before going solo with his own styling business and reality show, will be selling select pieces from his wardrobe on the site to benefit favorite charities The Trevor Project and Dogs Without Borders.
At a sneak peek at Goreski's Copious closet (which went live today), there were plenty of eye-catching Brad favorites for the Copious shopper to ogle. Madras, plaid, stripes and leather were all in abundance, as were pieces by Prada, Alexander McQueen, Rag & Bone and Antonio Azzuolo. Standouts include the bejeweled Prada "Spazzolato" lace ups, a circa '70s Christian Dior leather trench and red "hunting pink" style jacket with gold details (including a lamé pocket square) by Azzuolo.
"Yes, I have way too many men's and women's clothes, but that's not why I decided to list my closet on Copious," Goreski said. "My goal with everything I do in fashion is to showcase each person's unique style, and Copious celebrates individual expression. I'm proud that the proceeds from my sale will go to two causes I care deeply about."
For all the treasures Goreski is parting with there is one signature accessory notably absent from the Copious closet: the bow tie. Goreski is not, I repeat not, breaking up that collection.
For a peek into Brad's Copious closet, see the slideshow below.

Virginia State Parks host winter activities
While most regions across Virginia are covered in snow again, families and friends are turning to Virginia State Parks for winter fun.
"In so many ways, our parks serve as a sort of 'back yard' for our park neighbors," said Virginia State Parks Field Operations Manager Craig Seaver. "Families are welcome to sled in our parks and some people enjoy cross-country skiing on our winter trials. State parks are wonderful locations for all sorts of winter activities."
To find a park near you, visit http://is.gd/findapark. People are encouraged to call their nearby state park to learn about sledding conditions before visiting. Each park also posts up-to-the-minute details about inclement weather, closures and cancelled programs on its web page.
Virginia State Parks are managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. For more information about Virginia State Parks activities and amenities or to make a reservation for a campsite or cabin, call the Virginia State Parks Customer Service Center at 800-933-7275 or visitwww.virginiastateparks.gov.

The Running Azeroth series has gotten a great response! I've really enjoyed hearing about people running and biking their way through Warcraft, and have certainly enjoyed running and biking them myself (is there anything better than flying down those Grizzly Hills on a bike?).
I'll be doing more Running Azeroth episodes, but wanted to do something a little different for the next one- Running Azeroth: Race Day. The only thing better than running dungeons with your friends is running Azeroth with your friends!
This event will record a whole bunch of players running on foot to simulate the feel and excitement of a race. The event will be filmed just like the other Running Azeroth episodes and uploaded to YouTube. We can all then run our Azeroth race on demand on our treadmills and bikes any time we want!
Running Azeroth: Race Day will take place on Saturday, January 31st at 7pm CST. We'll meet on the US server Dalaran, Alliance-side, at the entrance to Blackrock Mountain. The race will run through the Burning Steppes, Redbridge, Elwynn Forest, and end at the main gates of Stormwind. It should take about 20 minutes.
What do I need to do to participate?
Show up on the US server Dalaran-Alliance on Saturday, January 31st at 7pm CST (8pm EST/7pm CST/6pm MT/5pm PST). If you'd like to let me know you're coming, you can @ me on Twitter, but no RSVP is necessary. My in-game character will be Liala.
I'll be hosting the race with Rezznul; you can get an invite to the raid group by adding Rezznul#1254 or DiscoPriest#1856 as a friend and putting 'Running' in the message space.
I don't want to run the race; how can I participate?
I'm glad you asked! We need people- lots of people- cheering at the beginning of the race and along the race route. You can mount up and get ahead of the runners, and cheer and set off fireworks along the route. At the end of the race, we need people cheering, jumping, and setting off fireworks of all description, using all of those toys that you have in your shiny new Toybox. You can use a mount to get ahead of the pack, or a flying mount to keep tabs on the runners' progress.
We also need one person to act as the starting and ending Race Official. This individual will need to be highly reliable: they will start the race with a firework, and end it with a line of circular raid lights. DM me on Twitter if you would like to be this highly reliable person.
Update: My good friend Rezznul has offered to be the highly reliable Race Official; look for him as Rezznul at the start and finish line. Thank you, Rezz!
Can I wear a costume?
You MUST bring the absolute most fabulous transmog you can possibly muster to the race. Whether you choose to transmogrify yourself a runner's outfit or a Carnival-worthy headdress, dressing your best is required. Since we won't be fighting you can leave shoulders, etc. empty for a more highly customized race day look.
Can I use a mount?
No. All runners must run on foot. You can certainly choose to run ahead, but the camera (me) would no longer be able to see you.
Can I cheat?
YES. I highly encourage all forms of Mario Kart warfare. Cast your very best sprinting spells and player-on-player crowd control. Yank back that druid with a Leap of Faith, put on a burst of speed with Power Word: Shield! I will try- try!- to get everyone into a raid so that we can use spells on each other.
Just remember: If you get too far ahead, the camera (me) won't be able to see you.
The camera (me) will be bobbing in and out around racers, sometimes getting ahead and sometimes falling back. I'll try my best to get every runner in the shot, and at the end of the race I'll be filming every runner as they come across the finish line- more on that below.
Can I bring a pet?
Sure! Ground pets are preferable to flying pets as they won't obscure the runners as much.
What if I have a question in the middle of the race?
I will be running as my disc priest, Liala, but during the race I will need to turn my UI off completely to film the run. I won't be able to see anything that anyone is saying to me or shouting or anything. If you have a question, you'll have to direct it to the highly reliable Race Official. They will be available at the starting and finish lines, and should be able to answer your questions mid-race.
What do I get if I win the race?
Nothing. This isn't a race to see who is fastest; it's a bunch of people running together to create a Running Azeroth video that we can all watch and run later. Crossing the finish line first will just take you out of the range of the camera.
What happens at the end of the race?
I would LOVE IT if the camera (me) could cross the finish line first, so that when we run it later, we can all be the winner of the race! However, we all know that sometimes we get carried away with in the heat of the in-game moment and that probably won't happen. But that would be great!
Either way, when the camera (me) crosses the finish line, I'll run ahead a little ways and then turn around slowly and film all the action of the finish line as people cross the line and fireworks go off. Please do not stand in front of me at this time. It will be hard to me to move around at that point, and people standing in front of the camera (me) would obstruct the view of watching the racers come in and celebrate, which will be one of the most fun parts of running/watching the race later.
I have another question!

Thank you for checking out my profile. After spending many years building my consulting business, I've now decided that it's time to focus on my personal life. My life is very fulfilled, yet there is just one thing missing, which is that special someone. I consider myself to be an upbeat, bright and attractive woman with a good sense of humor. I am an avid golfer, like to bike and work-out on a daily basis. I've come to realize that it's the simplest things in life that truly make me happy, such as, a great golf shot, putting my toes in the sand at the beach, spending time with family and friends, getting a bargain, taking a long walk, sleeping late on the weekend, getting a big hug and grabbing a slice of pizza at Pino's in Brookline. I love to have fun and live for the moment.

Salmonella with Your Omelet? Don't forget Stroke and Ovarian Cancer
Why do Americans continue to eat a food which can harm them both short term and long term?
In addition to salmonella, eggs are the highest cholesterol food known to man, causing the heart attacks and stroke 33.5 million Americans take statins to avoid. Hello? They are also linked to diabetes, ovarian cancer and contain antibiotic residues.
Yet as unnecessary as eggs are in the diet (baking alternatives exist), as cruel to animals, as banal as a consumer product, demand is kept alive by the egg industry like fur coats.
Ask for an egg-free pastry in otherwise politically correct Starbucks in Chicago and you'll get a blank stare. (Thank you, Argo Tea.)
Last week FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg warned if you eat your eggs runny and over easy something else could become runny and over easy (not to mention sunny side up.)
Krista Eberle of the United Egg Producers' Egg Safety Center agreed, telling USA Today "all the responsibility cannot be placed on the farmer. Somewhere along the line consumers have to be responsible for what they put in their bodies."
While the FDA and egg industry's "boil order" may spare people salmonella's bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting, boiling sewage probably makes it safe too. Before you buy your next carton of eggs, consider this.
1) Yuck factor
Undercover video shot at Menifee, CA-based Norco Ranch egg farm in 2008 shows bloody, insect-covered eggs destined for tomorrow's omelets. Video also shows the bleeding and prolapsed hen's vents that produced the eggs, conditions for which they received no veterinary care. Egg operations are so plagued with salmonella and other bacteria, the FDA found a hatchery injecting antibiotics directly into eggs. And the eggs those birds laid? They had residues of antibiotics, says at least one medical study.
2) Ovarian cancer
"Our findings suggested that ovarian cancer risk was positively associated with higher consumption of dietary cholesterol and eggs," says the journal, Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. The American Journal of Epidemiology, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and the Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention agree. Results from the Nurses' Health Study, a 20 year study of 84,129 women, also show an egg consumption/ovarian cancer link. Why are we surprised? Human eggs are produced in women's ovaries.
3) Eggs Produced Amid Carcasses and Moribund Hens
Laying hens crammed into battery cages don't always survive. And while workers periodically come through to remove them from the living as undercover video from Turlock, CA-based Gemperle Enterprises farms shows* (Gemperle eggs are distributed by NuCal Foods, a U.S. Department of Defense vendor), dying hens also surround the "farm-fresh" eggs. "Another live hen, also trapped under her cage's front wall, had the side of her face on a moving egg belt. I saw that the side of her face, including her eye, was encrusted in what appeared to be egg yolk and dust," writes an undercover humane investigator at a DeCoster farm last year. The DeCoster family are the producers at the heart of the salmonella outbreak and egg recall.
4) Steeped in Noxious Gases
Because egg farms stack hens on top of each other over manure pits so farmers don't have to clean cages, the air is toxic for the animals, workers and other humans who enter barns. According to United Egg Producer guidelines (the group that approved the farms producing the salmonella eggs) ammonia should not exceed 25 ppm but "temporary excesses" are acceptable. Cesar Britos, an attorney representing egg workers, tried to enter an egg operation in Turner, Maine owned by Jack DeCoster and said "I thought I was going to faint and I was only there a few minutes.'' Last year law enforcement and state agriculture workers entered the same operations in Turner, more than a decade later. This time four workers had to be treated by doctors for lungs burned by ammonia.
5) Diabetes
Got diabetes? Eating eggs is "positively associated" with the risk of diabetes, finds May's journal, Nutrition and last year's Diabetes Care. While other studies have disputed the connection, some financed by the egg industry, the journals Nutrition, Metabolism & Cardiovascular Diseases and International Journal of Clinical Practice say consumption of eggs in people who already have diabetes is "associated with an elevated risk of coronary heart disease."
6) Cruel and Unhygienic "Depopulation"
Unlike meat chickens that are hung upside-down and eviscerated at slaughterhouses, laying hens, which do not usually provide meat, are too cheap to spend money killing. Undercover video shows laying hens twirled by the neck, tossed into garbage cans where they suffocate, kicked into manure pits to drown and put into kill carts workers push through to be gassed, when they're lucky. As many as 30,000 unwanted hens were fed live into a wood chipper at Ward Egg Ranch in San Diego County, CA in 2003. And fires, like one at the DeCoster-tied Ohio Fresh Eggs operation in Harpster in March that killed 250,000 hens are frequently allowed to consume the hens.
7) Killing Zones Called Hatcheries
Even when laying hens are "free range" and not confined in battery cages, the egg industry is predicated on the death at birth of half of the chicks. Since male chicks are of no use to the egg industry, newly born males are ground up alive at hatcheries. Video at Hy-Line in Spencer, Iowa clearly shows healthy male chicks peeping and bouncing as they are fed live into rotating blades like so much litter, coming out a bloody slush used for dog food. "If someone has a need for 200 million male chicks, we're happy to provide them to anyone who wants them," says UEP spokesman Mitch Head. "But we can find no market, no need."
8) Blight on Workers, Neighbors and the Environment
When Labor Secretary Robert Reich viewed a DeCoster egg factory in the '90s he said, "The conditions in this migrant farm site are as dangerous and oppressive as any sweatshop we have seen.'' Federal investigators found DeCoster workers living in rat and cockroach-infested housing with unsanitary drinking water, their children often pressed into work. In addition to abuse of migrant workers, egg operations have been sued by neighbors for their odors, black flies and environmental pollution. One grandfather who lives near Ohio Fresh Eggs says he has to hold a fly swatter when his grandchildren visit. Inside the house!

Sneak Peek at the Next Episode of 'The Walking Dead' (VIDEO)
For most of this season so far the survivors of the zombie apocalypse have been able to rest up and hide out at Hershel's farm. We've already discovered that all is not as it seems in the kindly veterinarian's home, and in this sneak peek at the second half of Season 2 we see both Hershel and Shane act.
For those who haven't yet watched last night's episode, here's a !!SPOILER ALERT!! You might want to come back and watch this later.
After what happened with Sophia, Hershel finally tells Rick and the group to get off his property and leave. But will they leave, or will Shane stage an insurrection and take over the farm? If they do leave, will they leave together, or will the larger group fragment into smaller ones?
Whatever, it seems like this could the end for Shane and Rick's friendship. Shane thinks his partner's as dangerous and delusional as Hershel: "You had us out in those woods, looking for a little girl that every single one of us knew was dead!"
Check out Mike Ryan's recap of last night's episode here.

'The Walking Dead' Season 2 resumes Sunday, February 12 at 9PM ET on AMC.

|Programs & Projects
|Economic Development
Cultural Enrichment is an intergenerational sharing and learning process that the Shinnecock Community has engaged in throughout the ages to assure that the the ideals and traditions of the Ancestors are passed down to the succeeding generations. Whether it involves sharing the knowledge of foods, clothing, arts, crafts, dance, or ceremony and language, it is an all inclusive process that enriches the lives of each generation. Program objectives include conducting classes for skill building, working with tribal elders and leaders to develop resource materials related to tribal values, history and environment and work on the language reclamation program.
A major project under Shinnecock Cultural Enrichment Program is the Shinnecock Language Program. The program is coordinating the efforts of tribal members and projects that have been working to bring the Shinnecock language back into use, to fulfill a vision of utilizing our language to remember and understand the thoughts of our ancestors, thereby reaffirming our cultural identity. Extensive work involves research and comparison of resource materials, learning phonetics and grammar and data input. In August 2009, more than 12 participants received training from representatives of the computer program T.R.A.I.L.S. (Teaching, Restoring, and Archiving Indigenous Languages Software) that will assist with teaching on several learning levels. Our mission is to establish a Shinnecock Language and Culture School, at a state of the art learning facility to include a resource library, access to technological systems and classroom immersion workshops and presentations with the common purpose of achieving fluency in the Shinnecock Language.
The primary goal of the Shinnecock Nation Youth Council (SNYC) is to fortify the youth of Shinnecock with the richness of their Eastern Woodland culture and all that is indigenous to the Shinnecock people. -The SNYC has been in existence for eighteen years with its membership ranging in age from 13 – 23 and residing on or near the Shinnecock Indian Reservation.
Throughout the years the names and faces have changed but the goals and objectives have remained constant…to empower our young people and groom them to make the transition from youth leadership to tribal leadership. The SNYC is an affiliate of UNITY (United National Indian Tribal Youth) and attends the Mid-Year and National Conferences. The SNYC was one of thirteen UNITY councils chosen to be the recipient of the Roberts Wood Johnson Foundation and UNITY grant, "Celebrate Native Health," which was created to combat childhood obesity. The youth spent four years successfully developing healthy lifestyle programs and activities for the community, and were named one of the top Councils in UNITY. Involvement in the Shinnecock Nation Youth Council helps the youth develop self-esteem and confidence through support and encouragement from their peers. They also organize and conduct their own meetings using parliamentary procedure, plan fund raising events, perform community services and hold two non-voting seats on the Shinnecock Nation Tribal Council.
The Young Men of Shinnecock (YMS) began with a dream of two young adult Shinnecock men who wanted to reach out to the younger generation between the ages of 16 and 21 and to provide them with meaningful experiences and positive role models for their lives. With the Board of Trustees encouragement and approval, funding was obtained for this exciting project, and YMS currently is anticipating a second year of project activities beginning in the summer of 2010. Based on a carefully developed curriculum, the co-directors of the Young Men of Shinnecock have implemented a month-by-month schedule of educational and motivational activities, culturally relevant trips, as well as daily basic learning skills, such as opening banking accounts, exploring job fairs, writing resumes and attending interviews. Community service also is an inherent YMS activity with special attention to the Elders of the Reservation. Fun and athletic/sports activities such as basketball games also is included in curriculum. Aimed at prevention and positive empowerment of at-risk Shinnecock young men, this project has had substantial success since its inception approximately two years ago. It has had direct impact on a number of young men, who otherwise may have entered phases of the criminal justice system, or worse. As positive evaluation of the success of YMS, three former participants now attend various colleges, seeking to enhance their futures through education. New age eligible participants will be encouraged to join YMS in the second year of operation.
The duty of the Shinnecock Warrior Society is to uphold and protect the integrity of the Shinnecock Indian Nation and its people as defined in the Statement of Purpose in the Shinnecock Indian Nation Constitution:
Under the guidance of the Creator, in honor of our ancestors, and for the future of our children, we are determined as the people of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, to live and govern with faith, respect, common sense and compassion. We are the caretakers of the land and waters that nourish and heal us; we learn and teach the values and traditions that have been passed down for generations…
It is the mission of the Shinnecock Warrior Society to preserve Shinnecock culture by bridging the gap between older and younger generations and reawakening an interest in our sacred ways by advancing exposure to cultural ceremonies and events. In order to fully restore our traditions we must heal the broken relationships among our people by showing compassion towards one another and honoring the bond we have as Shinnecock people. Then will the sharing of our traditions and cultural wisdoms flow more fluidly amongst our people.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing..I followed the recipe ALMOST exactly, i substituted ground turkey instead and i added as a small can of baked beans. It was a fantastic mix and the perfect amount of spicy. I cannot say enough great things about this recipe.
Beef & Bean Chile Verde
From EatingWell: January/February 2008
Chile Verde, usually a slow-cooked stew of pork, jalapeños and tomatillos, becomes an easy weeknight meal with quick-cooking ground beef and store-bought green salsa. Make it a Meal: Serve with fresh cilantro, red onion and Monterey Jack. Add your favorite hot sauce.
95 Reviews for Beef & Bean Chile Verde
Very thick and filling. I felt that one can of beans left the chili rather sparse (I'm a big bean fan), so I put in two cans of beans. I tried it both as plain chili, and wrapped in whole grain soft shell tortillas. I personally prefer it served in tortillas. Very delicious!!
Wonderful! I made it with no meat and three cans of beans. I also added some frozen white corn and a can of tomatoes. I will make this many, many times!
I made it with no meat and three cans of beans! I also added a can of tomatoes and some frozen white corn. So yummy and easy!
This makes quite a bit...I thought for sure I would have left overs...NOPE! Everyone ate it up even my dad who usually doesn't like spicy food...the flavor is delicious and its very simple to make...my new favorite!

The college wants Woodside to cede a 3.8-acre site to Redwood City, where zoning allows multiple-family housing, so that it can build the housing on the parcel. The council is willing but wants a say in the design of the project.
A glitch in the approval process came up at a Feb. 12 meeting, when four Woodside council members criticized the 56- to 60-unit apartment complex secheduled to be built this summer on an under-used campus parking lot. The council members said the scale of the two buildings was not suitable for the site, which overlooks Farm Hill Boulevard and is visible from a small section of Woodside.
In a meeting 10 months ago, the council unanimously approved the concept of on-campus housing. Although many meetings had been held to discuss the project — both at the college and before the Redwood City Planning Commission — Woodside council members apparently did not see preliminary designs. After their first look on Feb. 12, a majority attending said design changes will be needed before they approve the redrawing of the town boundary.
The negative reception of the project moved Councilwoman Deborah Gordon to recommend putting off the critical vote to initiate transfer of the site from Woodside to Redwood City until "a date uncertain." The council agreed. Although Mayor Ron Romines later asserted his optimism that the land transfer will proceed, it may require the scrapping of some of the college's costly, already completed plans.
Let's hope that a good design for the housing can be found soon, and that major, costly revisions to the plans are not necessary. As noted in this space last May, it is difficult to imagine a more suitable project for the college, which can build the units at a rock-bottom price by using its own land, employing tax-exempt financing, and avoiding property taxes thanks to the exemption for higher education. And, there is no profit motive in this project.
Barbara Christiansen, the college's director of community relations, was understandably distressed when the council balked at the transfer.
She told the council: "This is the first we have heard that Woodside is going back on its word."
But Mr. Romines was reassuring. "We are not going back on our word. I don't think it is our fault. It's the way things work."
We hope this means the mayor is committed to working for consensus on the council to move the project forward in the near future. He has said that he supports the housing project and the land transfer. The challenge for the council will be to work toward a redesign that will convince reluctant members to quickly jump on board.

Create a mosaic as a lasting feature in your yard
"So why in the world are you keeping all this broken stuff?" asked one of our children, looking at several piles of broken kitchen and other dishes in the potting shed.
Well, the answer is simple. Some day (month? year?) I am going to make a mosaic in our yard. The design will be so beautiful, the pieces of pottery so skillfully laid and the colors so appealing that people will come from adjoining states to see it.
It is hard for me to throw away anything that has a possible reuse. Broken dishes are on the list, but my mosaic will not be simply a way to give a second life to the broken plates and saucers, it will be a feature of interest in our yard.
I am not yet sure of my design. I considered an eagle, the South Carolina state seal and a bird's eye view of the farm, daisies, etc. but no artistic executive decision has been reached.
Here is what you do, and it's a good out-of-school project for children helpers.
First, you have to collect material. These can be broken pieces of household ceramics. Remember you grandmother's vase that the visiting child broke? The coffee mug from a wonderful trip that got knocked off the table?
Second, make your design. Draw it on paper in the same size the final picture will be. You may want to start with a small design to see if your interest holds. If it does, the design/picture can be enlarged at the edges. The design can be a circle, rectangle, etc. It should have an edging of the pottery pieces, whatever shape, so that the design doesn't flow carelessly out into the yard.
Third, determine the location. One must decide if it should be quite close to the house so the design can be seen and enjoyed all the time, or a bit farther away, possible the destination at the end of a path.
Fourth, prepare the site by removing all grass, rocks, etc. and raking it smooth. At this point, you can go in different directions.
A. You can make a concrete mixture, buying the pre-mixed kind that requires adding only water, and smooth it onto the area. Gently place the pottery pieces in it, keeping them smooth.
B. You can put on a layer of sand and lay the broken pottery pieces in it. This is easier and will allow you to move the pieces about or change the design later.
When the pieces are in place, sweep sand in the cracks of both the pieces laid in the concrete and in the sand. Another option is to sweep dry concrete mix into the spaces.
Fifth, spray the area with a sprinkler, not a full force stream of water, to saturate the sand or the dry concrete between the pieces.
Sixth, don't walk on it for a few days so the pieces can settle.
Don't you feel virtuous? You have used something that many would have thought useless. You have kept material from the landfill and created a lasting feature of beauty in your yard. Good for you! And it was fun.

There are more than 18,000 Ross County residents who have a collective $2.2 million waiting for them from unclaimed funds in the past year.
Ohio Department of Commerce Director Andre T. Porter urges Ross County residents to join in the 2013 Unclaimed Funds Treasure Hunt by checking the Chillicothe Gazette on Tuesday. There will be a newspaper advertisement listing unclaimed funds turned over to the Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds in the past year.
Unclaimed funds are money or the rights to money that have been dormant or forgotten. Some common examples include: dormant checking and savings accounts, forgotten rent and utility deposits, uncashed checks, undelivered stock certificates, and uncashed insurance policies.
In Fiscal Year 2013, the Division paid 53,580 claims worth approximately $69.2 million. The average claim was for $1,292.
The listing in the Gazette will have 1,042 of the 18,086 accounts.
A list of unclaimed funds accounts is available on the Department of Commerce's Online Treasure Hunt website at www.unclaimedfundstreasurehunt.ohio.gov along with forms for individuals and organizations to use in claiming their money.
Individuals without Internet access can write to the Division of Unclaimed Funds and provide the full name(s) to be researched, along with the counties in which the person(s) might have resided. The Division's address is 77 South High Street, 20th Floor, Columbus, OH, 43215.

Baltimore Fruit Bowl - Valuable Lessons

"always bring your own background fabric to class."ReplyDelete
This is exactly the reason I started buying the rest of the bolt or the whole bolt of background fabrics to always have enough.
Some quilters manage to make great applique quilts with a scrappy look of different backgrounds but that is beyond me.
I clicked on the photo to see the extreme closeup. WOW. Just gorgeous. And the pineapple fabric was a perfect fit. So inspiring.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. The close up of the block is fabulous - love those blackberries!.ReplyDelete
Just beautiful, Barbara! Such a wonderful block you have stitched!ReplyDelete
The fruit looks so real!ReplyDelete
That block is awesome, Barbara! I love the pineapple fabric and have some in my stash from a very long time ago. I may have to try the technique just for fun.ReplyDelete

MEMPHIS — For two days, the Thunder talked about one thing more than anything else.
Having a sense of urgency.
MEMPHIS — For two days, the Thunder talked about one thing more than anything else.
Having a sense of urgency.
After losing Game 2 and home-court advantage, that catchphrase became a bit of a rallying cry, an in-house recipe the Thunder wanted to use to regain control of this dogfight of a first-round series.
But when the ball was thrown up for Game 3 against Memphis on Thursday, it took Oklahoma City 40 minutes to really put that mentality on display.
And yet somehow, it almost worked.
The Thunder dug itself out of a 17-point, fourth-quarter hole but again saw the game slip away in overtime, this time 98-95 inside FedExForum.
Sure enough, after the Thunder sunk deeper in this series, that familiar refrain resurfaced.
"We just have to be better next game," said Kevin Durant. "We're down 2-1 and we don't want to go into a bigger hole than that. So we got to come out and play with a little bit more of a sense of urgency."
Game 3 is Saturday night back inside FedExForum.
"A lot of positives," Thunder coach Scott Brooks of the defeat. "One of the positives is we've been here before. Matter of fact, we've been here before with this Grizzlies team."
In the second round of the 2011 playoffs, the Thunder fell into a 2-1 series hole against the Grizzlies but tied the series with a thrilling triple-overtime win in Game 4 at Memphis. OKC ultimately advanced in seven.
Who knows how this slugfest will shake out three years later?
But what we do know is the Grizzlies are doing everything we thought they would in this series and seizing command by catching OKC off guard with even more that nobody saw coming.
Memphis again shut down the Thunder's offense, hounding Durant and Russell Westbrook into inefficient shooting nights and holding OKC to 39.1 percent shooting. It's the second straight game that the high-powered Thunder offense has been held to less than a 40-percent clip. But offense, we figured would be tough.
The Grizzlies' role players outplaying the Thunder's is another thing.
Tony Allen again appeared at times to be the most impactful player on the floor by supplying a steady dose of solid defense and an unexpected source of offense. His 16 points off the bench were seven more than the Thunder's reserves had combined.
"He's played well," Brooks said. "We have to be able to guard all the guys. That's what we take pride in, guarding guys."

We see Vincent Joulia from the driver's seat of a car. He is standing in the middle of a dark road and our headlights are fixed on him.

POLL: SW Florida physicians: Mammogram recommendation a death sentence for early detection
NAPLES - HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued the following statement today on new breast cancer screening recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force:
"There is no question that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations have caused a great deal of confusion and worry among women and their families across this country. I want to address that confusion head on. The U.S. Preventive Task Force is an outside independent panel of doctors and scientists who make recommendations.
They do not set federal policy and they don't determine what services are covered by the federal government.
"There has been debate in this country for years about the age at which routine screening mammograms should begin, and how often they should be given. The Task Force has presented some new evidence for consideration but our policies remain unchanged. Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action.
"What is clear is that there is a great need for more evidence, more research and more scientific innovation to help women prevent, detect, and fight breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women.
"My message to women is simple. Mammograms have always been an important life-saving tool in the fight against breast cancer and they still are today. Keep doing what you have been doing for years - talk to your doctor about your individual history, ask questions, and make the decision that is right for you."
Southwest Florida radiologists and breast cancer activists are angry that successes with early breast cancer detection may fall by the wayside if new recommendations stick that most women don't need mammograms before the age of 50.
"This will not go down. We will fight it to the ninth degree," said Dr. Mary Kay Peterson, director of women's imaging for Radiology Regional Center with locations in Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres. "I'm just flabbergasted."
Joined by the American College of Radiology in opposition to a new government task force recommendation that says most women don't need mammograms in their 40s, Peterson spent much of her day Tuesday talking to patients in their 40s who have breast cancer and urging them to speak out. With early detection, the five-year survivability is 97 to 98 percent, Peterson said.
At Radiation Regional, 21 percent of all breast cancer in the past year involved women between the ages of 40 and 49, she said.
"Of all the recommendations, this is probably the most obscene, the most absurd," Peterson said. "It is amazing to me we will go backward on this."
New guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that most women can start getting mammograms at age 50 and every other year thereafter set off a firestorm of debate Tuesday with women's cancer support organizations and professional radiology organizations lining up for battle. Especially disheartening to them is how the insurance industry will react and move to reduce reimbursement.
"I can tell you it will be a real disaster," said Dr. Jan Forszpaniak, a surgeon at Naples Breast Cancer Surgery Center. "We will lose something we have been fighting for for so many years."
The guidelines are for the general population and not those at high risk because of family history or gene mutations that predispose some women to breast cancer.
The task force also said breast self exams do no good for women and lead to a lot of unnecessary testing.
"I've been talking to a lot of different authorities, very knowledgeable on this who say it is beneficial for women between 40 and 49 to have mammograms," said Miriam Ross, spokeswoman for Susan G. Komen for the Cure in Southwest Florida. "All I can say is we are sticking by our guidelines that we feel it is important for women."
The task force's recommendations carry weight with the insurance industry, which will look to reduce coverage, and that means more women will face paying more out-of-pocket fees for mammograms unless they have a family history of breast cancer, Ross said.
The Dallas-based Komen foundation, the world's largest breast cancer advocacy organization, issued a statement that mammography, while not perfect, remains the best tool for early detection and it would stand by its policy that women start routine mammograms at 40
Dr. Chaundre Cross, a Naples radiation oncologist with 21st Century Oncology, said the task force guidelines will not change his practice of recommending yearly mammograms for women starting at 50 and for younger women based on family history and race. African American women are more predisposed for breast cancer and should start mammograms at 45, he said.
"We always look at the task force recommendations but as a practitioner, we will make decisions that are best for our patients," Cross said.
The American College of Radiology said screening mammograms for women aged 40 and older "is one of the major health care advances of the past 40 years" and said two decades of declines in breast cancer mortality could be reversed if the task force recommendations are adopted.
Peterson, of Radiation Regional, said she absolutely expects the insurance industry to use the recommendations to cut reimbursement for mammograms.
"Hands down they will," she said. "Anytime they can sink their teeth into stopping payments, they will."
Mark Wright, spokesman for Blue Cross and Blue Shield, said Tuesday there will be no change in coverage for mammograms.
"We have no plans to change the coverage we provide," Wright said "As far as this is concerned, this is between a doctor and his patient."
Florida law stipulates that insurance policies must cover a baseline mammogram for women ages 35 to 39 and then every two years for women between 40 and 49, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation.
Linda Romeo, supervisor of mammography for Naples Diagnostic Imaging Center, is outraged about the new guidelines because a lot of breast cancers will be missed if women don't have mammograms earlier than 50.
"I think it is horrible," she said. "I think it is an injustice to women to make recommendations of doing even less than what is recommended now."
Romeo understands the rationale behind the numbers of screenings that would have to be done to detect one case of breast cancer but "what if you are the one or two women," she said. "And if we find it early, you are not given a death sentence. Breast cancer is highly survivable if caught early. The whole point was to catch it early."
Dr. Joseph Gauta, an obstetrician/gynecologist in Naples and president of the Collier County Medical Society, said the one study won't set in motion a complete change in policy. The task force was examining costs, radiation exposure to younger women and risks, he said.
Still, Gauta said the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends starting mammograms every other year at age 40 and then annually from 50 on.
"It is a nice compromise," he said. "I will stick with it."
He does expect the insurance industry to capitalize on the task force guidelines to cut coverage on mammograms for younger women.
"I think they are looking at every excuse to save money," Gauta said.

It is now time to take recycling to a whole new level and recycle things that haven't
even been made.
Think about all the creativity that disappears every single day, like ideas that never
make it out of the sketchbook, or your head for that matter. Or all the pictures that
disappear because you delete them the second after you flicked them, just because they were slightly out of focus or because someone winked. What about all the refused articles, poems and novels that end up in the bin or hidden somewhere on your computer?
We believe that creativity can save the world and that the solution to some of our
greatest challenges exists somewhere out there, in a bin. These are creative solutions
that have been lost because we have become so self-conscious and afraid to share things that aren't a 100% perfect or under control.
How boring is that!?
Creative Trashback is the world's first interactive dump. You can recycle your creative trash or look through the garbage of some of the worlds most creative. If you find something nice, funny, stupid, ugly and odd or something inspiring; recycle it! Add stuff, mix it up and bring it back to life.
You can upload trash directly to our recycling station or download our handy desktop app.
Who knows? Maybe your scrapped ideas turn out to be gold after all.

INDONESIA (23 April 2012) The importance of collaboration among all research partners in agroforestry was recently emphasised at a historic workshop to develop a national strategy on agroforestry research in Indonesia.
During the meeting, five key challenges facing agroforestry in Indonesia were also identified. The first challenge mentioned was the Government's partial approach to research, which translates into low adoption of research recommendations. Second, land tenure insecurity, particularly in State forest areas, leads to social conflict and degradation of forest resources. Third, the trade-off between conservation and development activities lead to difficulty in deciding forest management.
The slow progress of community-based forestry management schemes introduced by the Ministry of Forestry hampered agroforestry development and emerging issues related to climate change and affecting forestry and land management were also mentioned as hindrances.
Despite the challenges, the meeting identified opportunities for agroforestry, such as the large pool of knowledge worldwide; increasing support for agroforestry-related policies; availability of potential partners in research and development, including the World Agroforestry Centre, Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), NGOs, regional governments, the private sector and universities; and international concern for climate change that provides financial support for agroforestry research.
The meeting included experts from the Forestry Research and Development Agency (FORDA) of the Ministry of Forestry (including the newly formed agroforestry research centre at Ciamis), Bogor Agricultural Institute, University of Lampung, Gadjah Mada University and the World Agroforestry Centre Indonesia office. Several key resource persons with expertise in policy analysis, natural resource management and agroforestry were also present.
