Political Campaign Websites
Need a great website for your group or campaign?
Your campaign website will likely be the last image the public will see before they cast their vote.
Many voters will review your website to learn more about you and the issues you stand for. If you use an inexperienced web designer to design your website, chances are high that voters will notice.
Outdated information, improper layout and unintuitive design on your website will reflect negatively on your campaign and your campaign website will likely be the last image the public will see before they cast their vote.
9 questions about your website……
- Does your website have an introductory video? Studies show most visitors view a website for one minute before leaving. Video is the most effective means to present your message quickly.
- Is your website setup for Social Media? Have a custom Facebook page? Facebook integrated with your website? Is Twitter? YouTube? Can your supporters easily find each other online? If your answer is 'not exactly' then you're not using valuable tools which will expand your campaign.
- Can voters easily find your website? Only if your site is using the best Search Engine Optimization practices.
- Can voters easily find and download your speaking schedule? Get crowds when you speak!
- Can you easily contact and inspire volunteers? Volunteers are the lifeblood of a campaign. We'll show you how to keep them informed and motivated.
- Can you quickly update your website and respond to the latest news or are you forced to wait for a web designer? We design websites that you can update anytime from anywhere, using a web browser and we'll show you how easy it is!
- Is your website secure and backed up nightly? All websites need strong security and daily backups.
- Is your website professional in appearance and easy to navigate? A smart, professional looking website will impress voters and volunteers.
- Is your website making money? Are you accepting donations online? Some would never go to a political rally but will donate online. If you're not accepting donations on your website, your campaign is losing funding.
If you need help with your website, Social Media or Search Engine Optimization, contact us today.
Prices are affordable and we can start immediately.
*Want to see what Rick Perry, Ron Paul, Romney, Palin & Biden's first political websites looked like? Go here. Don't worry, the site we design for you will be MUCH better!

Last night Loleatta Holloway sadly passed away aged 64. She embodied the disco spirit of the '70s and her music was the soundtrack to the backdrop of sexual liberation the gay and black dancers felt as the decade exploded into one huge party. Loleatta has touched the hearts of dancers on the Northern Soul scene and influenced House producers, as her voice reached to four decades of dance music devotees.
Pete Heller and myself met Ms. Holloway when we were offered her services on our cover of 'Shout It To The Top'. A middle-aged lady with a large scar on her chest, she asked for a few scotches to get warmed up. Looking back, she was like a vintage car being started, a few miss-starts and stutters, then, all of a sudden, the engine purred. As she moved up through the gears, everyone in the studio came alive and the magic we were looking for filled the room with love.
Quite a while later Pete and I went back to Chicago and met up with her to shoot the video – and my all-time H.O.U.S.E. moment happened. The tape player in the SUV was playing a Ron Hardy Music Box cassette we had just got at Gramaphone records – and, as we cruised the South Side looking for locations, Ms. Holloway, with her friend and hairdresser for the week, Chicago legend Candy J, sat behind us telling stories. Throughout that week she was always a professional, wonderful , warm, lovely lady. The video we had shot featured some iconic Chi-town DJs, who were all happy to appear free of charge for a record featuring the Queen of Disco. Extras in the shoot included her brother, son, nieces and nephews.
We sadly saw another side of Chicago when we insisted on taking Loleatta and her family to lunch at a Greek restaurant. Despite her initial reluctance, which at the time we didn't understand, she rose above the lacklustre service and rather snide attitude that seemed to offend and shame us more than her (or at least more than she let on…).
Lolleatta made music that trascended genres, genders – and just about anything else that starts with "g". The woman is the Queen of Disco, made music with Salsoul, sung at the Garage and I helped out in the making of a record with her, which is something I'm so proud of. God bless Ms. Holloway.

Tony Dickens has been homeless for about a year, and usually finds comfort beneath the stars- but it's too cold to stay outside over night.
"I've been a painter for about 30 years and there's just not any work now and we're just doing the best we can."
Even with the sudden drop in temperatures, the Big Bend Homeless Coalition and the Tallahassee Shelter are doing the best they can to make sure anyone who wants a warm bed gets it by opening the cold night shelter at Bell Vue Middle School.
Susan Pourciau with the Big Bend Homeless Coalition says, "We were caught by surprise but luckily we had been actually planing this cold night shelter since about June, we're serving about 35 people and we actually expect that number to grow as it gets colder and colder."
"We're freezing out here and we thank the community for taking us in and looking out for us." says Dickens
It's not just those who stay at the shelter: Across town boy scouts looking to spread a little holiday joy bundle up while selling Christmas trees
Jacob O'Donnell says "Yea, it's pretty chilly out here. It's not snowing yet but it's pretty cold." Chance McDonald says, "You know, I'm a boy scout and I camp outside all the time, and when I say it's cold- you know it's cold."
With the temperatures staying in the mid 20s the next couple of nights- nobody is dodging the cold for now.

Take Precautions to Avoid Frozen Water Pipes!
Helpful Tips Offered by Your Own Utilities
The City of Tallahassee Your Own Utilities urges water customers to take precautions as near and below-freezing temperatures continue through this week. The most important measure is to run at least one indoor water faucet at a thin stream to avoid pipes breaking due to the cold air. During periods of colder weather, Your Own Utilities as well as local plumbing contractors typically receive calls from customers reporting broken water pipes.
When pipes break between the water meter and the home or within the home, the customer is responsible for repairs. Your Own Utilities repairs any damage to pipes between the water main under the street and the meter, or in the main itself, but that rarely happens since water runs continuously in the mains.
Residential water customers are advised to run at least one faucet in their home at a thin stream. This allows water to flow through the pipes and lowers the risk of broken water lines during freezing conditions. Unlike other liquids, water expands when it freezes. When water pipes freeze, the expanding water can break the pipe, and customers can be left with a thoroughly soaked house when the pipes thaw.
Your Own Utilities offers these tips during a hard freeze – about 30 degrees (F) or below for more than one hour.
· Run at least one indoor water faucet or outdoor spigot at a thin stream, until the outside temperature rises and stays above 30 degrees (F).
· Check to make sure the cover to your water meter fits tightly. If your pipes do freeze, you can use the valve inside the meter box to shut off all the water to the house, helping to prevent indoor flooding when pipes thaw.
· If you have a backflow assembly on your water service line, it, too, may freeze with very cold temperatures. Insulate the assembly properly by wrapping or covering the pipe. Do not cover the bottom relief opening on the underside at the middle of the apparatus, to avoid creating other flooding problems.
· Commercial water customers should also wrap any fire lines in their buildings. Disconnect any outside water hoses from spigots, as water trapped inside can freeze and crack the hose.
For more information, please call Your Own Utilities at 891-4YOU (4968) or visit us online at Talgov.com/YOU.

Windows Phone 8 smartphones are finally available from almost all major manufacturers such as Nokia and HTC, with Samsung also set to launch its own WP8 handsets soon. Since it is not possible to upgrade a Windows Phone 7.5 device to WP8, many would, no doubt, be wondering whether it is worth the investment. With the powerful hardware involved, it will no doubt be a noticeable dent in the wallet and hence not an easy decision to arrive at. Here is my personal take on whether it is time to discard the old for the new or is it still feasible to buy a WP7.5 handset. We will take a look at the main USPs of WP8, which are being portrayed as improvements over the predecessor.
Multi-core CPU: Current crops of Windows Phone 7.5 devices operate fast enough with their single-core CPUs, hence at present, more processing power is not required. However, things may change as new apps and heavy games appear to take advantage of the extra cores and higher clock speeds.
HD screens: Current generation devices with 800x480 pixel dimensions seem to be good enough for most purposes. WP8 handsets will feature screens with pixel dimensions of 1280x720 and 1280x768, which will surely appear better, but this is a trivial factor for an upgrade in my opinion, as it will be most noticeable, if at all, while playing HD content and newer games, which basically means that you will not spend much time glancing at the high-res screen. Don't forget, larger screen sizes also means less pocket-friendly phones.
Deep Skype integration: Apparently, this will blur the distinction between Skype and GSM calling. However, this is not a deal-maker as it is useful only for those whose buddies are always online on the VoIP service.
IE10: Since there is no hardware limitation that will cause any hindrance, WP7.5 devices might also get IE10, sooner than you might expect.
Nokia Maps: There is no doubt that Nokia's map and navigation software is one of the finest available, and there are no free alternatives that can match up to the capabilities and features. If you happen to have a non-Nokia WP7.5 device and are heavily dependent on GPS navigation, then this may hurt a bit. Having said that, would you pay a premium for an upgraded handset just for the sake of better navigation software?
Bluetooth file transfer: You can ask yourself - when was the last time you transferred files via Bluetooth. If you are trying hard to recollect, as I assume you are, this feature is not really a deal maker.
Removable storage and microSD support: Removable storage media may not be such a big thing in WP8, as it can be easily achieved in WP7.5 via a simple tool that doesn't modify anything on the smartphone. However, I must concede that the provision to add storage space with a microSD card is definitely a good thing these days when any amount of space is just not enough.
Wallet: Since this convenient payment method requires NFC, it is of little appeal in India until NFC-enabled terminals become common.
UI tweaks: Windows Phone 7.8 will bring most of the WP8 UI tweaks such as more number of tiles and resizable tiles to WP7.5 devices, so this is not really a factor in going for the new devices.
Taking all the factors into account, my opinion is that you don't really need to rush to get the latest WP8 handsets if you already own a comparatively new WP7.5 smartphone. WP7.5 handsets will be sold alongside WP8 handsets for quite some time so you will not be missing a lot if you still buy a WP7.5 smartphone. However, if you can't do without the latest, shiny gizmos featuring cutting edge tech, then go right ahead.

Teams gearing up for RELAY FOR LIFE on April 9th-10th
No dark clouds are going to spoil THIS day of giving & caring at the Menifee RELAY FOR LIFE wh...
No dark clouds are going to spoil THIS day of giving & caring at the Menifee RELAY FOR LIFE which starts tomorrow, Saturday April 9th at 9:00 am and ends Sunday April 10th at 9:00 am, on the football field at Paloma Valley High School.
I talked with Paula Vigorito today (the online chairperson and captain of "Team Kelli" - so named after her daughter Kelli's battle that was won against Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2007). Besides giving me the current numbers, which blew me away, Paula told me that with the huge growth that the Menifee Relay has experienced in this short period of time, "We are really making our mark in the Relay World."
How true that must be. I remember well the night of the first Menifee Relay for Life back in 2006. At midnight the only person I saw on the field was a Bank of America employee named "Chauncy" .... who had fallen asleep in the middle of the track.
The Menifee Relay for life has grown this year to a whopping:
35 Teams
525 Participants
Heritage High School High has the largest group of participants - over 50 so far!
It's not too late for YOU to add to its numbers. Come visit (for free), or become a registered Relay-er.... ($10 registration fee). ALL ARE WELCOME!!
If you have never been to a Relay for Life, it is a FANTASTIC event. Full of entertainment, fun, and VERY moving at times. I think EVERYONE should experience a Relay for Life. One minute your laughing and dancing, and then 10 minutes later you are looking for the nearest box of Kleenex Tissue. A very emotional event, one that I think everyone should experience.

Average Customer Review: based on 5 reviews.Rating: Spring, Light, Wesuit
I received my order today that included a Henderson small womans 1.5 mm microprene wetsuit. Order #14511805. The fit is good except around the shoulders and upper chest, there it seems to be less fitted. Across the chest and hips okay. Im wondering if I should order the xs size (there is a demo xs Henderson 1.5 mm available) or should I just call it good? Ill need to order it and have shipped Sat in order for it to arrive in time because Im leaving 5/17. Then one of the suits would be returned. Ill check my email Sat morning, or I can call. Thank you, Lynn
Hello Lynn, yes if you would like to order the size XS in the demo we have you can. You would have 120 days unused in water to return an item. Yes this suit should fit snug in the areas that are loose on you. If you did go to the size XS here is the different in the sizes: 1" in overall length 2" in the waist and 2" in the bust.
Microprene 2
Microprene 2® is an ultra thin, super stretch neoprene® that will provide the comfort and freedom of movement found in a Hot Skin® but with the warmth and durability that Skins and fleece can't provide.

OK, enough snow already. The driveway the men folk spent 3 hours shoveling is covered again with two inches of new fluff. The side streets aren't sufficiently groomed to venture out in anything but my son's
filthy dirty old Jeep, and said son is moving out today (a light in the darkness). I'm going to have to get extremely inventive with what's left in my freezer if we want to eat. Worst of all, we're out of liquor!

The first malware to exploit the Symbian S60 3rd Edition platform has been identified, according to security firm F-Secure, which says the code is a Trojan in the wild that may be used for spam among other purposes.
Trojan SymbOS/Yxe.A is still undergoing analysis, but it appears to use encryption and may be designed for spam SMS messages, as well as enabling downloads, says Patrik Runald, F-Secure's chief security officer. "This is the first malware for the Symbian S60 3rd Edition phones" he says. "It's definitely in the wild, and probably originated in China, where it's infecting phones."
SymbOS/Yxe.A attempts to use social-engineering ploys, like portraying itself as a game application or using sex images as a lure. Runald points out that victims are being fooled into installing it manually.
Runald says the Symbian S60 3rd Edition platform requires application developers to use a registered signing key for applications to be able to run, so the appearance of SymbOS/Yxe.A raises the question of whether someone stole a Symbian-issued certificate to create malware that would run on the platform. "For the application to run, it has to be signed," Runald said.

Ending its feud with the Mumbai Hockey Association Limited (MHAL), Hockey India brought the federation into its fold as an associate member, an official release said on Thursday.
The induction to Hockey India means MHAL will be able to take part in all the national championships in future though it will not have any voting rights. The MHAL and Hockey India were at the loggerheads ever since the inception because of the former's affiliation with the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF).
The MHAL continues to be an affiliated body of the IHF too.
"There are many associations who are affiliated to both, Hockey India and the IHF. Railways, Services, Air India are a few examples. We do not have voting rights; our interest is to bring big time hockey back to Mumbai and give our players an opportunity to play in the big tournaments," MHAL president Mangha Singh Bakshi said.
Officials from Hockey Maharashtra were surprised by this sudden development and insisted that the decision should have been taken with consent of all the members.
The IHF, meanwhile, accused Hockey India of using arm-twisting tactics. "They (Hockey India) had been threatening MHAL to take their ground away. The MHAL officials succumbed to the pressure eventually," an IHF official said. With this move, Hockey India now has six associate members besides 30 affiliated members and two other members through State Olympic Associations.

Woods was not the only victor here -- expect a return engagement for Open

Complete U.S. Open coverage at golf.uniontrib.com
San Diego may have trouble paying its bills and building a bread box without litigation, but it can throw a party -- especially when it doesn't have to pick up the check.
In the end, the winner of the U.S. Open, golf's mightiest, bulkiest and most unwieldy tournament, just may have been the city and Torrey Pines South. This, although the official record will show a gimpy Tiger Woods won his third Open, this one yesterday in what amounted to historic golf double-overtime. Woods proclaimed it his greatest victory.
"The only question now is when we'll come back," U.S. Golf Association executive Director David Fay was saying. "This has been a home run."
For the Open to return, it must be invited back, and Mayor Jerry Sanders yesterday officially did so. Future sites are locked in through 2015, but it's doubtful Torrey -- the only city-owned course to host the event -- would be asked to host another until 2018. Even so, it would find itself in an exclusive rotation.
Doubters questioned whether the city and course could handle an event of this magnitude after the USGA awarded Torrey South its Open in 2002. But, by all accounts, San Diego's colors are flying.
The town has held its share of major sporting events, including three Super Bowls and two World Series. But never has it had to handle an Open, difficult for a venue such as Torrey Pines, where there is limited road access, and thousands of fans were expected -- even for the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday practice rounds.
A half-century ago, this was a sleepy Navy town, a fishing village, and the big draw in sports was San Diego High's football team. The Chargers didn't come south from L.A. until 1961. The Padres went major league in 1969, and even then the city still was trying to finds its legs, attempting to fend off the growing pains associated with the transition from small town to big city.
In this regard, San Diego still has trouble making up its mind as to which it wants to be, a hash-slinger or a gourmet chef. But there are times when it can step up to the table without spilling the gravy boat.
Because the Open basically runs a week, there hasn't been a sporting event here of this magnitude. But the city and course handled it splendidly, with records set along the way.
Including yesterday's 18-hole playoff round between Woods and Rocco Mediate -- stretched to an extra sudden-death hole before Tiger's victory -- total attendance for the eight days, including practice rounds, was close to 300,000. Friday's crowd of 52,843 was the largest Friday audience since 2001, when the USGA began to electronically scan tickets. Saturday's 53,962 ranks second among Open Saturdays.
The 39,000-square foot merchandise tent was busy. Another record, said to be approaching $20 million in sales, was set. TV ratings were high.
And it all basically came off without much of a hitch. Those concerned with traffic jams on I-5 and elsewhere didn't find any. Those ticketed were urged to use free parking at Qualcomm Stadium and gratis bus rides to the site.
"I thought it would be a mess at Qualcomm," a tournament volunteer was saying. "There was a line waiting for the buses, but it moved along. It was like Disneyland."
Meanwhile, the USGA, known to make its Open courses wicked, got what it wanted out of the South. It was long, but fair, offering a variety of shotmaking opportunities.
"It definitely proved itself worthy of the U.S. Open, no question," golfer Stewart Cink said of the South Course. "Inside the ropes, anyway. I can't speak for what's gone on outside the ropes. The golf course itself is definitely worthy of a major.

See the article below!!
But in all fairness, the fact that the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach is opening up its race circuitwhich runs the length of Shoreline Drive and Seaside Way in its entiretyto everyone but motorized vehicles and your four-legged friends (sorry, they dont trust youll pick up after your critters and we dont necessarily blame them, particularly when cars will be reaching speeds of 180MPH right where your pup might alleviate itself).
They call it the Grand Prix-view but for me, its a pure, divine proto-ciclovía for Long Beachand its something that hasnt been done in the 39 years that the Grand Prix has been struttin along Shoreline. The Grand Prix-lovía.
And though its only for two hours from 2 pm to 4 pm tomorrow, there are possibilities abound here, Long Beach. This is a test to show just how much we can flex our civic muscles. It is time to bring out your strollers, sunblock, skateboards, rollerblades (yes, I said rollerblades), unicycles, beach cruisers, fixies, roadsters, hell, even your mountain bikes (the terrain on the track can be daunting). The point is to invade and enjoy walking and riding in a space where youve never been permitted to do so. I can guarantee you: it will make you realize how large your city really is, how small you really are when not surrounded by the metal that is your car, and how the Grand Prix of Long Beach literally builds a city within a city.
Entrance will be permitted at the two eastern points of Linden Ave & Seaside Way and Shoreline Drive & Seaside Way. The event is entirely free and for those needing to drive to the area, parking will be available at the Pike Parking Structure located at 65 S. Cedar Ave.

By now, after a blizzard of media attention this weekend, everyone is probably fed up with François Hollande's former girlfriend, Valérie Trierweiler, so for once I will get my punchline in right at the beginning. That way you don't have to read the rest about my own tanglings with the subject. OK, here goes: the delicious irony is that with all this money Valérie Trierweiler's earning from her book sales, she'll probably be moving to London to escape her ex-boyfriend's tax laws.
Well, it made the presenter laugh when I said it yesterday on French TV. This is the thing about the media coverage in the UK for Madame T's book – the sheer Frenchness of it is driving the French nuts. Why is everyone so interested in her, they want to know, what fascinates the Brits about her? Perhaps they're hoping for the answer, "well… Read more


text: This book is about an African American family during the years of civil rights. Their father has just bought a new Cadillac to drive down south with. The mother of the family is not happy about this and refuses to ride in the car. She finally gives in and the whole family heads down south in the gold Cadillac to visit their relatives. On the way down people give give them dirty looks because African Americans are not supposed to be that rich. A policeman pulls them over and accuses the father of stealing the car. After this the father decides to sell the car and get a plainer car so people will not harass them.

That play earned $110k for Alabama's general scholarship fund as part of a Pontiac promotion, but when Prothro wen to the university three years later to get photos of The Catch for his book, he was told they would cost him $10 each. He passed.
Seems The Catch came with a catch.
Prothro was on full football scholarship at Alabama and after he got hurt, the university continued to pay for his education until he graduated in 2008. The university also has paid for his 10 surgeries since his injury, althought he said a school trainer told him the 10th surgery would the last on the school's dime.

Troubleshooting tips for overwintering plants
Whether you've got leaf drop or leggy growth, tips and tricks to keep your plants healthy over winter.
Problem: Weak, leggy plants
Cause: Lack of sunlight
Solution: Find a sunny spot by a window, away from forced air vents. Pinch back to two healthy leaves to increase fullness. See if you can determine what's ailing your plants.
Winter-proofing wisteria
There are several things you can do to give your wisteria the best chance of survival. The first—and most important—step is to provide a good supply of water during the fall. Dry soil harms roots and causes stress; water will transport nutrients from the soil, increasing the plant's stored energy. Read what you should do next.

The dress I purchased did not fit right. The size was way off.
I recently Purchased two dresses one for my sister and I for an event that we plan on going to it is a Christmas 1940's Ball. I looked at their selections and found some pretty dresses. I Looked at their Size chart to make sure to get the right size. It is horribly wrong I measured myself and my sister several times to make sure and it doesn't even remotely come close to fitting. Plus the shipping took so long that hey arrived a few days before the even and now we have to try and find dresses and am not sure we will be able too. I ordered them in October and just received them Nov 28th. Now having to return the dresses their return policy is somewhat ridiculous. I understand the 14day policy however you have to pa for the shipping back as well as if you qualified for free shipping when you ordered them they will now charge for it, by taking it out of your refund as well as a 15% restocking fee. I will add that the quality of the dresses were less than desirable as well. For what they cost they were made poorly and with poor fabric. I will never shop here again.

Malls in India are now closing down faster than they are being built, with just one mall coming up in the three months to March, 2014. With consumers holding back on spends in a slowing economy, developers are turning cautious. The sole mall constructed was in Pune, which incidentally, is stuck with the second-highest vacancy level in the country at 27.5%. Ahmedabad holds on to its tag as the graveyard of Indian retail with a vacancy level of 31.6%, while the country as a whole saw a vacancy level of 14.5%, much as it was in the December 2013 quarter.
Mall supply fell 65% year-on-year in the January-March quarter to 3.5 lakh sq ft, while four malls across 1.26 million square feet (msf) were postponed, estimates real estate consultant Cushman & Wakefield (C&W). Of this, two are in Bangalore and one each in Pune and Hyderabad. Mall managers Squarefeet Advisory points out that nearly two dozen malls have closed down over the past year as falling footfalls forced brands to move out.
E-retailing is becoming popular. Developers have turned cautious and are doing more thorough research on the potential of any location, explains Sanjay Dutt, executive MD, South Asia, Cushman & Wakefield India.
Some malls are badly designed or are located in areas that do not have a big catchment, observes Anand Sundaram, CEO of Pioneer Property Zone, a mall management firm.
The Pune mall opened with occupancy of close to 60% delayed by three quarters. Over the last two years, four malls were opened in the city Phoenix MarketCity, Amanora Town Centre, Koregaon Park Plaza and Seasons Mall, with space of close to 6 million square feet. These are now half empty.
Despite this, C&W forecasts fresh mall supply, by the end of 2014, of 14 million square feet (msf) of which 13.6 msf is still under construction. This is nearly 200% more than the supply in 2013 of close to 4.6 msf.
Retailers are also feeling the pinch of high levels of maintenance fees for common areas in malls. High-street rentals at Lokhandwala in Mumbai suburbs are going at R320 psf, while a mall in Andheri commands a rental of R400 psf per month.
This is why a retailer like Tata Trent has decided that Star Bazaar supermarkets will not be set up in malls. Kishore Bhathija, CEO of K Raheja Groups Inorbit Malls, has been highlighting for some time now that

Do I Need Special Waterbed Sheets?
This entry was posted on September 23, 2012.
In the past, the unique shape of the waterbed required special waterbed sheets. These special sheets were tied down to the bed to stop the sheets from moving while you were sleeping and to keep the bedding secure. Waterbed sheet didn't have must variety and tended to be only come in basic colors and fabrics and hardly ever went with any custom bedroom upholstery.
A hardside waterbed like the Boyd Dual Sea Cove Waveless Waterbed needs fitted sheets. Because waterbed sheets can be expensive and hard to assemble on to the bed, it is reccommended that you use Blue Magic Waterbed Sheet Straps. The sheet straps allow any sheets to be attached to your hardside waterbed so you can decorate your bed and room without any hassle. For a hardside waterbed, a Boyd Flotation Mesa III Hardside Waterbed Mattress Coveralso assists in keeping waterbed sheets in place. The mattress cover provides pillow top comfort, a hygienic surface, insulation properties to keep the mattress at the right temperature and a barrier between the mattress and the decking.
A softside waterbed like the Violet 11" Mid Fill Softside Waterbed retains the shape of an original traditional mattress allowing them to fit in most bed frames and use any sheets you like without any fitting straps. Traditional waterbeds can be large, so for those who are concerned about the look of their bed a softside mattress is the best bet.
Today's modern waterbed mattresses allow you to keep your own sheets with a softside waterbed or by using the sheet straps with a hardside waterbed.

Clearinghouse Working Group Status, 1997
1. Participation and Coordination
Clearinghouse WG teleconferences held
The agenda topics and notes of all available teleconferences are available online under the Participation topic at the Clearinghouse Home Page at: http://www.fgdc.gov/clearinghouse/participation/participation.html.
Clearinghouse Working Group Email Membership
At the close of 1997, there were over 300 registered email participants in the Clearinghouse Working Group list. This list, available as email@example.com, provides two-way communication about Clearinghouse topics, and is the primary means for technical dissemination of Clearinghouse information.
Clearinghouse Site Registry with over 50 member sites
All participating organizations that have a compatible FGDC metadata service using the Z39.50 protocol are encouraged to register with the FGDC. At the end of 1997 there were over 50 sites, listed below, as registered -- and thereby jointly searchable through the supported Clearinghouse interfaces. Existing Clearinghouses now represent a significant coverage of the US (by state) and an increasing number of federal participants.
Tutorial materials renovated
The online tutorial materials for setting up a Clearinghouse Node were updated and used in several training sessions in 1997. The tutorial materials include handouts for class attendees, example datasets, and for the Windows platform, even includes the set of Isite software required in a training class. These can be linked to from the Clearinghouse Home Page or from the following link: ( http://www.fgdc.gov/clearinghouse/tutorials/howto.html)
Harmonization with GILS elements
Along the lines of working with other communities, it has been brought to our attention that the FGDC metadata elements as encoded in the Z39.50 Profile are not fully harmonized with the Government (or Global) Information Locator Service used internationally or are inconsistent with other internal documentation. Once again, to ensure that a search of an FGDC server by a GILS or FGDC client using the same search fields (e.g. title or abstract) is successful, the fields in the server need to be correctly mapped.
To correct these discrepancies, all registered Clearinghouse servers will be receiving instructions on how and when to update your fgdc.localmap files to support the correct numeric field tags. This will occur with the Final release of Isite (2.01) for all platforms.
Interoperability with Earth Observation Programs
In February NASA and the European Centre for Earth Observation (CEO) held a three day workshop entitled EO/GEO to openly discuss projects and activities relating to the earth observation community (satellite folks) and the geospatial data community (GIS folks). The presentations made it clear that we are facing similar data discovery problems and have needs for standardization. The workshop concluded with the following observations (and hopefully actions):
- to pursue mappings of schemas and semantics across different disciplines to broaden community benefit
- data format conventions and translators for spatial data similarly
- need to be made widely available to the developer community
- search across multidisciplinary data collections requires use of one or few well-known thesauri or controlled vocabularies. The NASA Global Change Master Directory project has a good candidate offering for this
- applications are being built using the Java language for flexibility and portability. An EO/GEO repository should be developed to cut development costs by re-using code.
- demonstrate consistency in search across EO and GEO catalogs, specifically between the FGDC metadata and the Catalogue Interoperability Profile (CIP) being developed by the Committee on Earth Observing Satellites
This last element has been actively pursued by the CEO, NASA, and FGDC since the February workshop. Specifications for how EO clients can find GEO data and vice versa are being developed and will be incorporated into the FGDC, ISO, and EO metadata and services work that is ongoing. A joint meeting between FGDC and CEOS staff was held in late 1997 to establish an architecture to make searching of imagery and GIS catalogs transparent to the end users. Both activities (FGDC and CEOS) are committed to supporting the ISO TC 211 metadata activity as the ISO Standard 15046-15 is approved. This will likely mean the development of a single, harmonized model for image and vector geospatial data catalogs.
ESA AVHRR Metadata entries online
Clearinghouse access to the imagery and quick-look data from a CD entitled "AVHRR CD-Browser Ionia" published in 1992 by ESA ESRIN has was provided in 1997 through a demonstrator site in Reston. The CD includes 1,915 browse images (GIF) and a product identifier for ordering. This provides demonstrator service to show how other metadata -- particularly imagery metadata -- could be converted to an adequate FGDC representation for the purpose of search and then to use the Isite software with the FGDC support to index and serve it. The CEOS Inventory Exchange Format (1992) was parsed and converted to a "full" but very minimal FGDC metadata entry from it. It pulls about 15 fields from the IEF for each image and generates a path to the files for a retrieval URL to the browse images. The metadata and perl program used are also available.
This demonstrates the ability to derive nominally compliant FGDC metadata from other sources and, through use of the metadata parser (mp) be able to generate other forms (HTML, TEXT, DIF) potentially on-demand. The entire collection of almost 2000 references takes approximately 5 minutes on a Pentium/Linux host to create and index the metadata and write out the variant forms of HTML and TEXT (SGML was the input to mp). The metadata occupy 16 MB on disk and the index files occupy 5 MB. The GIF quick-look imagery, of course, takes up about 370 MB of space. For static collections of imagery like this, it shows that the generation and management of FGDC metadata is not so large a system load in terms of disk space or processing time. For larger collections of series metadata, however, or where an operational metadatabase exists, an interface between the Z39.50 server and the database may still be warranted.
OpenGIS and FGDC Collaboration in WWW Mapping
The OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) recently approved a public specification, called RFP-1, which facilitates low-level interoperability on the spatial characteristics of point, line, and area features in a vector GIS. It is the foundation on which remote arbitrary clients can access collections of digital spatial data held in proprietary forms, but through this access method, provide neutral data access. Four vendor teams have implemented the RFP-1 features and are familiar with it, having demonstrated basic access at the last OGC meeting in Cambridge, England.
BBN, under contract to DARPA has developed a remote spatial data viewing facility called OpenMap (see the URLs) that uses a Java client to access multiple data servers via CORBA. On the server side, the requests are translated into the neutral RFP-1 client terminology and the interface accesses the data, displaying very basic features back to the remote client. Through our involvement with the WWW-mapping Special Interest Group of the OpenGIS Consortium the FGDC has channelled funds to OGC and its members to demonstrate OpenMap as one of several distributed mapping technologies to be shown on the LAN at the GIS/LIS conference exhibit hall floor in late October. This utility allows for a single viewing client to connect to and draw data simultaneously from different distributed sources.
The thread that ties this to Clearinghouse is that the data resources will be described using FGDC metadata and will be stored in mini Clearinghouse services. This integration is done in order to demonstrate Clearinghouse techniques for data discovery, including embedded linkages to "real" data online that a user can start to interact with, even without a client-side GIS. The current use of Clearinghouse by the GIS elite needs to be expanded to include the potentially vast Internet public who are not GIS-literate but would like to mix data from different sites on their screens. Another objective is to familiarize the OGC participants with the Clearinghouse as a testbed for catalog services as they prepare to issue a catalog specification in early 1998.
In response to this, a team has been assembled within the OGC to develop the interfaces to the various software systems and set up the demonstration for the GIS/LIS conference. The FGDC booth hosted a computer with the OpenMap demo and some local data for the other booths to access. It is our collective intent that these demonstrations will continue and be activated on the broader Internet after the conference for "real-world" testing and evaluation and that future GIS conferences will provide new venues to convene the showcase LAN once again.
2. Software
Isite 2.00 Final
By the end of 1997, the Isite software, Version 2.00.06 was being used at over 60 sites around the world. To search one or more of these servers, one can connect to the Alaska or Reston Clearinghouse Gateways at:
Final release of 2.00 is anticipated in early 1998 pending delivery of tested versions for all UNIX and NT platforms and full documentation of the software. The Isite software has been updated after extensive testing and review by the Naval Research Lab. The fields that it supports have also been harmonized with those used in the Government Information Locator Service (GILS) for greater interoperability in search, and the document type has been expanded to recognize and map the ANZLIC metadata standard elements so they are cross-searchable with FGDC elements. The Isite software is made available through the Clearinghouse tutorials' download pages.
Blue Angel Technologies MetaStar
Blue Angel Technologies (www.bluangel.com) has announced a commercial solution using the Fulcrum search engine that supports the collection, management, editing, and service of FGDC-compliant metadata on the Internet. Blue Angel's approach supports multiple data views for the formulation of metadata as FGDC, GILS, and DIF formats on presentation. Testing has not been conducted on the MetaStar offering to verify its interoperability with the existing FGDC implementations.
FGDC Metadata Tools List available
As the result of a recent polling of metadata collection and management tools, I have prepared a table of seventeen "current" software programs that work with FGDC metadata. the table points to more detailed synopses of the software programs individually.
These software programs will be reviewed by an ad-hoc team in 1998 to prepare a more thorough external review of the available software, along the lines of the previous Mitre review, to assist users in selecting tools and to advise tool developers on enhancements. The review table and producer-supplied info is available at: http://www.fgdc.gov/metadata/toollist/metatools797.html
3. Systems Enhancements and Investigations
Gateways to the Clearinghouse
During 1997, the Alaska Geographic Data Committee site became the second official entrypoint or "Gateway" into the constellation of servers known as Clearinghouse. Additional official gateway sites are needed to offer the HTML and Java forms from a site other than the FGDC primary server. This is done to distribute search loads and to provide redundancy in case of inaccessible or slow networks. These gateway sites are clones of the FGDC gateway, are not customized (much), and provide search access to all registered Clearinghouse sites. Gateway sites are expected to be installed regionally to provide more regional access to the distributed Clearinghouse. A gateway map is now available from the FGDC site to provide you with links to these gateways as they become available
( http://clearinghouse3.fgdc.gov/).
Server Status checks
To manage information about the status of all the searchable Clearinghouse Nodes, a program has been written to visit all the registered servers and produce a current status list in HTML. This feature is available at the URL: http://registry.fgdc.gov/serverstatus/
Web Addresses associated with Clearinghouse Participants
There have been several recent requests for additional information on who is participating in the formal Clearinghouse. This information is useful for sites interested in establishing compliant, searchable Nodes and to identify sites "in your neighborhood" to which you can turn for advice. The list of searchable nodes has been available from the Clearinghouse interface as the "Status" link. I have also just prepared a program that will retrieve the identities of websites that are referenced by registered Clearinghouse Nodes. This way one can use the Clearinghouse to search for spatial data, and can traverse links of participating organizations to explore ancillary information they may portray in their website but not make searchable via dataset-level metadata. Thus the Clearinghouse provides the basic search capability, and the website list supports site browse and contact capability.
Please visit the query interface and new website listing from the Clearinghouse page of the FGDC at http://www.fgdc.gov/clearinghouse/clearinghouse.html
Clearinghouse CD-ROM
A snapshot Clearinghouse CD-ROM is being developed to house a selection of metadata from over 25 Clearinghouse metadata collections and to provide a lookalike interface to the metadata that can be run on a standalone Windows95 PC. The Java-based user interface has been recast into a Windows graphical user interface that interacts with an database index of metadata on the CD. Given slow network speeds, the speed of CD search is likely to approximate or exceed that experienced frequently on the Internet. The intent of this CD is to promote awareness and use of the Clearinghouse and to provide a self-contained demonstration of the technology that can be run off-network. The synoptic CD reflects contributions of over 30 agencies and nearly 30,000 distinct metadata entries, captured in the fall 1997 timeframe. It should be ready for public distribution in April 1998.
Theme Keywords
In an effort to evaluate the current state of theme keywords as they exist in FGDC metadata under various Clearinghouse sites, and appraise the potential use of more standard thesaurus or formalized keywords, a request has been sent to the various Clearinghouse node administrators to compile a listing of theme keywords extracted from their metadata documents.
There is still a fundamental tension between the use of keywords and full-text search. Looking in my logfiles of queries I see virtually nobody searching on theme keywords, instead relying on full-text search for words. I think this partly comes from the predominant behavior on the Net of general text queries, and little or no experience in search using databases where keywords existed as legacy search devices. Where keywords for theme seem to make the most sense is in very small metadata entries. In such entries, full-text content may be light and the producer and user must rely on keywords for any meaningful search. On the other hand, contents of the keywords are also searchable as full-text, too, and often occur one or more times elsewhere in the body of text.
This exercise is intended to assess the ability to categorize our spatial data holdings based on an assumed common (union) vocabulary. Finding a common set of terms is not easy, even within disciplines...

It was a lovely afternoon of spending quality time with daughters. Mom's with multiple kids (me included) struggle to try to share time between kids. (If you have a secret how to do it, please share!) In the world of go, go go, it was a great afternoon to share time with the little ladies of our life! When the Parents Club of my kids school came to me with the idea of a Mother Daughter tea, I immediately signed up to host! Fancy, pink, yellow, crafts and my daughter….of course I was on board! With the theme of yellow and pink, it was an afternoon of tea sandwiches, flower pen and bracelet making, and of course tea sipping. Below are all the details.

Designs Made From Recycled Materials
Recycling materials into product designs is a great new way designers practice their sustainable approach to design. There are many studios and independent designers right now who concentrate on creating sustainable eco-friendly products from used plastic bottles to cardboard to everyday objects that get discarded once they expire.
This approach gives useless junk that litters the planet second life and sometimes a whole other purpose. For instance, a studio China Design Hub takes old adverising banners and makes bright lamps out of them. The Deckstool use old broken skateboards to create their furniture.
The list goes on and almost any thing can be recycled and become a part of a whole new object, design, product, or an art installation. We've seen art objects made of cans, old computers, and other kinds of junk.
You can too recycle old things by starting a DIY project redesigning, repurposing and redecorating. Think old suitcases for tables and seats, old pallets and crates for storage boxes and beds, old chairs for shelves and hangers.

The groups announced "The Package Tour" on Tuesday morning on "The View" and also performed. It's the first time on tour in 12 years for 98 Degrees.
The Package Tour will stop in Charlotte, NC for a performance at Time Warner Arena June 19.
New Kids On the Block also announced a new single, "Remix (I Like The)," will be released Jan. 28 and a new album, "10," is out April 2.
The three bands sold millions of records in the 1980s and '90s and helped usher in a wave of vocal groups that continues today.
The tour starts May 31 in Uncasville, CT., and continues into July with more than 30 dates.

Cranberry Fruitworm
Found throughout the eastern United States wherever wild blueberries grow, the cranberry fruitworm, Acrobasis vaccinii (Riley), affects cultivated blueberries that are poorly maintained. This pest overwinters as a fully grown larva in the litter near the soil surface under the bushes. The small, brown, adult moths emerge when the berries of early varieties begin to form, and they begin inserting eggs along the rim of the calyx cup. After hatching from the egg, the larva enters the berry. It eventually webs several berries together with silk, feeding inside as many as four. One generation hatches each year. The cranberry fruitworm infestation is characterized by masses of brown frass (excrement) and silk.
Cranberry fruitworm infestations can be difficult to detect early. Look for a pin-sized entry hole near the stem of any small, shrunken berries that have turned blue, and then open adjacent berries to find the larva. The distinctive frass and webbing do not appear until later in the larva's lifetime when it begins to move between berries. One method of control for this pest (and for cherry fruitworm) is to pick and destroy infested berry clusters showing evidence of webbing. Repeated disking to eliminate weeds and trash also helps in its control. Pesticides used for plum curculio also usually result in control of cranberry fruitworm.

House Votes To Curb EPA Rule
Measure appears to have little chance in Senate
March 7, 2014
WHEELING — The House of Representatives voted Thursday to stall U.....
dah, I did not say that I expected you not to take advantage of the amazingly cheap labor and low production costs in China. Obviously, many other made the same decision - but it was a DECISION - that you are responsible for making. You did have a choice, and you took the one that made you more money. Those cheap costs came at a price that you did not have to deal with at the time. That was not your concern. But please do not tell us that the government forced you to do it. At the very least take responsibility for your own actions.

"More than 420 companies including Boston Scientific, St. Jude Medical and Stryker signed on to a letter asking the U.S. Congress to repeal a planned 2.3 percent excise tax on medical devices. The tax could cost $20 billion a year and is set to take effect in 2013 as part of broad health care reform package passed last year.
"The tax is already having an adverse impact on R&D investment and job creation, jeopardizing the U.S. global leadership position in medical device innovation," said the letter."
8/1/2011 :Boston Scientific Corp. said yesterday that it plans to eliminate 1,200 to 1,400 jobs worldwide during the next 2 1/2 years to free money for new investments, the Natick medical device maker's second major round of cuts since last year.

Today it is not driven so much by price as "Hassle" by the Federal State and local governments.
Obamacare is costing jobs and making outsourcing look better, tons of regulation make outsourcing look more attractive, even if the cost is close.

slumdog I have been manufacturing in China for 30 years, YOU?
When I started there the labor rates were 10 cents a DAY! They are about 1.50 to $3 an hour now. Add up the shipping costs and customs fees and it is getting more difficult to justify offshore manufacturing on PRICE alone.
With labor shortage in the China (YES labor SHORTAGE) the net costs (landed) will likely hit parity with the US about 2018, since the salaries are going up about 20% per year.
30 years ago there used to be a lot of brass manufacturers in the USA.

dah, slow down. Take a deep breath and relax. You are hyperventilating. Stop waving your arms and catch your breath.
The outsourcing of American manufacturing began several decades ago, because U.S. companies realized they could make a bigger profit by having dirt cheap labor and not have to worry about worker safety and pollution controls. The governments in India, Pakistan, China, etc. were happy to get the business despite the fact that it devastated the environment and created enormous health impacts. The toxins that now permeate the air, water and ground of those countries will continue to negatively affect both the natural environment and human health for centuries to come. To say that the businesses profiting from this system have no choice is ridiculous. Of course they have a choice, and they cannot excuse their choice by saying the government forced them to pull their operations out of the U.S. and move them to India, China or Pakistan.

Do all of the cell phones made in China and Asia NOT meet the FCC requirements for radiation emissions???
Do Kia and Hyundai cars not meet US safety standards?

There's not a whole lot we can do to changes wages overseas, but we do have a weapon to lower mfg costs here that Asian markets/EU/India DON'T have. Cheap natural gas! Shale gas is giving us a competitive advantage, yet those who decry the overseas jobs scenario are the same critics of natural gas.

You think the president of the United States—our country's chief executive officer and commander-in-chief—is the most highly-compensated federal employee, you would be wrong…by a long shot. While the president is paid an annual salary of $400,000—plus over $150,000 in non-taxable spending accounts and perks like free housing—the president's compensation package pales next to the compensation package of the Tennessee Valley Authority's Chief Executive Officer Bill Johnson. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) recently disclosed it increased Johnson's total compensation by nearly 50 percent in 2013 to $5.9 million, more than 14 times the president's salary.
Like other federal employees, Johnson's base salary of $708,000—close to double the president's salary—was frozen last year under the federal pay freeze but remains a hefty amount by most standards.

Business Insider:
The EPA's Highest-Paid Employee Pretended To Be A CIA Agent For 12 Years
On Wednesday the Environmental Protection Agency's highest-paid employee and a leading expert on climate change will be sentenced after pleading guilty in September to pretending to be a CIA spy working in Pakistan, Michael Isikoff of NBC New reports.
Prosecutors argue that John C. Beale, who defrauded the U.S. government out of nearly $900,000 since 2000, committed a "crime of massive proportion" and deserves to go to prison for at least 30 months."
That says something about HOW POORLY the EPA is run when a top exec is GONE for 18 months and NOBODY REALIZED IT!

slumdog is patently an idiot:
"OMB conceded that 2012 was the costliest year ever for compliance with new regulations: With regulatory costs a whopping $19.5 billion, 2012 exceeded the next highest cost year by 57 percent. Susan Dudley puts these numbers into historical context: "By the administration's own estimates, the rules it issued in FY2012 alone IMPOSED MORE COSTS ON THE ECONOMY THAN ALL THE RULES ISSUED DURING THE ENTIRE FIRST TERMS OF PRESIDENTS BUSH AND CLINTON, COMBINED."
But here's the kicker: The administration neglected to report six "economically significant"– impact greater than $100 million – rules, which would have added an additional $2.4 billion in proposed and final rule costs!"
Poor slumdog never can back up his tiny bark with any bite.

"China attracts US companies because the US GOVERNMENT RUNS THEM OUT OF BUSINESS in the USA and THEY HAVE NO CHOICE!" dah.
That is patently ridiculous! The companies that have moved their production facilities to China, India and other Asian nations have done so for one reason - greater profits. Labor costs are a tiny fraction of what is considered a fair wage in the U.S., worker safety requirements are virtually nonexistent, environmental pollution controls are a joke, and U.S. based corporations are taking advantage of these conditions to pump up their bottom line. The businesses have a choice - and they have made theirs in favor of profits over protection. I do not expect them to do otherwise as long as they are not penalized. However, to say that they are "helpless" is silly.

China and other nations attract U.S. manufacturing businesses because of almost nonexistent controls on environmentally destructive emissions and virtually no concern for worker safety. Imagine attending a football game and not being able to see the players because of thick smog or being told that your children should not play outside due to extreme air pollution that never seems to get better. How about knowing that your mother or father will likely become too sick to work and will die prematurely due to working in a heavily polluted factory. Take the time to look at pictures of the rivers and coastal areas of these nations literally covered in filth and garbage. The guilty parties here are the corporations which exploit these conditions to increase their bottom line - and the government officials who dance to their tune.

dah, in effect you verified my post. Products once made in the U.S. are increasingly made in countries where there are few if any controls on the toxins and environmentally destructive toxins they release on their own people and the environment - and where people have to work for poverty level wages. Yes, that is unfair. However it will not be solved by trying to create conditions that are just as bad here in the U.S.. The way to deal with it is to ban the importation of products where those practices are common. Of course, that means that we will pay more at the checkout counter. We will not "beat them" by becoming one of them.

slumdog what Uncommon has suggested is that the USA is forced to compete in the world with a different set of rules than countries like China and India.
China and India have a combined population of 2.6 Billion, about 9 times that of the USA. Yet they have virtually NONE of the restrictive EPA that the USA does. They are building ONE NEW coal power plant per WEEK between the two countries.
Their government policy is WIN in the world economic competition by using WHATEVER means necessary. Power from coal, oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear... ALL OF THE ABOVE.
So why should the USA cripple its economy to be super green when virtually 5 billion other people in the world are polluting it??
It IS ONE WORLD, is is not, guano brain? The CO2 concentration is the sum of all the nations, not JUST the USA.

"Uncommonsense, You have stated things as they are. By using common sense. Sadly lacking in the masses of the American voters today," log.
Are you saying that the U.S. should use lead, toxic pesticides and other harmful substances in its products? I agree that that products containing these toxins should be banned - and many are - regardless of the place of production. However, the fact that so many items once made in the U.S. now come from outside the country is due to the fact that producers realized that they could get dirt-cheap labor in 3rd world nations where there are virtually no safety regulations and pollution emission standards.

About 20 percent of the people suffer from some sort of mental illness and the most common mental diseases are Neurosia and Depression.
Neurosia patients are higher than depression patients, said Dr. Sunil Rathnapriya addressing a press briefing held at Sahanaya. He said that people who get physical illnesses can be cured and they achieve 100 per cent cure and go back to their normal life styles but majority of the people who develop psychological diseases cannot achieve 100 per cent cure and end up achieving an average cure but many of them do not go back to their original normal condition.
Possibilities will be sought to employ mentally ill persons in private sector in order to give them a better life. For this purpose the private institutions should have a good understanding on the circumstances of employing mentally ill persons in their organisations.
A rendezvous similar to a job market will be arranged to achieve this target, Dr. Rathnapriya said.
Dr. Jagath Bandara said that many pregnant women (about 70 per cent of them) get temporary mental disorders as soon as they give birth to their newborns and become normal within a few days.
But some mothers do not get back to their normal condition even after one week or two and some mothers develop this condition after one week or more. In such instances, the patient and her guardians should seek medical advice as soon as possible.
But some persons think that the mother has purposely become violent, rude or changed and seek the help of occult traditions and other super natural forces. This condition is 100 percent curable.
Sahanaya has organised a seminar on October 12 at 3.00 pm at its auditorium for oncologists, psychiatrists, radiotherapists, nurses, medical students, and most importantly patients and care givers regarding cancer and mental health to mark the World Mental Health Day.
Sahanaya is the Community Mental Health Centre of National Council for Mental Health established in 1983 committed to improve the mental health of the community. Anyone with a mental health problem is welcome. It is not necessary to have a referral from a doctor to come to Sahanaya located at No. 96/20, Kitulwatta Road, Colombo 8.
The contact number is 2685960. email [email protected] website www.sahanaya.lk

IPM1007, Revised November 2009
Summer annual grass
A clump-forming summer annual with a seedhead that resembles a fox's tail. Giant foxtail is a weed of many agronomic crops, turf, landscapes and nurseries that is found throughout the United States, especially in areas with fertile soil. Leaves may reach 16 inches in length and 15 to 25 mm in width, and are generally covered with many small hairs on the upper leaf surface, except near the leaf base. Auricles are absent and the ligule is a fringe of hairs reaching 3 mm in length. The seedhead is a cylindrical, bristly panicle that becomes drooping with maturity. Giant foxtail is generally larger and has a nodding seedhead, unlike green or yellow foxtail.

I've been experimenting a bit with different layering on the road and mountain bike rides as the temperature has gone down. Today was the first day I'd worn booties on the clipless shoes, new insulated windproof pants and some 200g polypro jumpsuit. Although everything seemed to have good mobility to it, I felt a bit like I was pedaling in molasses. Now my knees and hips are a bit sore. I'd only worn thin tights to this point, but their arent enough anymore.
Is this common? Can booties over clipless shoes take away some of the "float" that the knee likes? I'm guessing heavier leg wear will sap some speed from your normal average?

Denim art at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in 1974...more
You are here
Marques Marzan
In his office, Marques Marzan, a tall, slender man in an island-design shirt, wears his own carved-ivory pendant with plaited suspension cord around his neck. He says thoughtfully, "I hope to be a bridge between Hawaii's past and present, to honor the cultural traditions of those before us and blend them with the innovations of today." He reflects on his dual career as fiber artist and as a Native Hawaiian cultural practitioner and resource specialist at Honolulu's Bishop Museum, adding that he wants "to show respect for what I know and to share that with dignity."
Born on the island of Oahu and intrigued by the weavings of his great-grandmother, Marzan learned Hawaiian plaiting techniques as a teenager. Earning a BFA in fiber at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and studying under many of Hawaii's master weavers, he adopted Hawaiian fibers and practices as the basis for his work. His freestanding, suspended and relief sculptures, as well as his wearables, created largely from indigenous plants or those introduced by early Polynesian settlers typically are abstract in form and have geometric surface pattern.
One of the few accomplished makers of utilitarian forms—large mats, baskets, hats and fans—Marzan collects and processes much of his own fiber. In his plaiting, look for lauhala, the long leaves of a tree also known as pandanus. Hibiscus, coconut and ie ie, an endemic aerial root, provide the basis for much of his braiding, netting, twining and spinning.
Marzan's work touches on Hawaiian—and often universal—themes that find a background today in the Hawaiian Renaissance, a revival beginning in the 1960s of values, language, dance, song, craft, agriculture and navigation. Through his manipulation of shape, choice of fiber, technique and pattern, and layering of materials, Marzan addresses both folklore and concepts such as origin or sacrifice. In his Hanau ia, a bold three-dimensional wall relief of plaited matting, the piko (the navel, the point of origin) is a reference in the geometric patterning. The piko can also appear as descending spiral shapes or form the center construction of a lauhala hat. Marzan's wearable art includes a dynamically patterned, layered and gathered bustlelike form woven out of lauhala for a woman and a comparable piece for men reminiscent of traditional feather cloaks.
Marzan is now applying layers of gut, some inscribed with words from traditional chants, over fiber structures that subtly refer to Hawaiian implements. Anchored refers to the naau (bowels) and the Hawaiian belief that one's heart and mind reside in the gut.
Equally accomplished in hula, song and protocol, Marzan advises Bishop Museum leadership on how to incorporate Hawaiian traditions into a non-Hawaiian museum setting. In August, he initiated the opening ceremonies of the museum's newly renovated Hawaiian Hall with a traditional chant. He is active as a panelist, speaker and demonstrator at fiber gatherings at home and abroad. Marzan's ethnic background—a quarter Hawaiian, a quarter Japanese and half Filipino—typifies the cultural melting pot of Hawaii, which in 2009 marks the 50th anniversary of statehood.
Jennifer Saville is the former curator of Western art at the Honolulu Academy of Arts.

Visual Art at CRS
an intimate space for big ideas
Since opening in 2004, CRS has exhibited paintings, photography, fiber arts, ceramics, and, on occasion, diminutive sculpture. Thus far, we have primarily exhibited artists who are members of the CRS community or with whom we already have some relationship. We have worked with artists who have never exhibited anywhere before as well as with artists who have had gallery representation and many shows. Either way, we try to time our selections so that they may help the artist to take a step forward.
If you are interested in having your work exhibited at CRS, please start by emailing us a link to your portfolio, or jpgs of several images, as well as your bio, resume, and artist statement. Please make sure to make clear what kind of work you want to show in this exhibition and why. If we are interested, we will get in touch to discuss the possible show in more detail.
Our lobby is small, wall space limited, and our ceiling height in the lobby is only 7'9" so art work cannot be more than about 30 – 36 inches tall). Smaller art works are most practical.
CRS does not currently charge any fee for exhibitions nor does it take any percentage of proceeds from sales of art work. However, if someone does wish to purchase art work on display at CRS, we ask that the buyer contact the artist directly to make the purchase.
CRS offers participating artists the opportunity to have a two-hour opening reception at no cost on a Saturday somewhere between 4 – 8 pm, depending on availability. If the artists wishes to have an opening reception at a different time, he/she would need to rent the space to do so. The artist is responsible for providing any beverages or snacks he/she wishes to serve at the opening reception.
Artists are responsible for hanging their show by themselves and must provide before the opening a catalog/price list, bio, and artist statement for display during the exhibition.
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) accepts no responsibility for any damages that may befall any art works on display and will not purchase or reimburse the artist for any damage. The artist is wholely responsible for installing the art works securetly and accepts all risk. It is important to understand that the CRS lobby is sometimes extremely full of people. They may be wearing coats and backpacks. They may brush up against a work on the wall. We do our best to watch out for the work but accidents can happen.
Most exhibitions at CRS last approximately one to two months. At the end of the exhibition, the artist is responsible for taking down and removing the art works. The artist is also required to spackle and paint any places on the walls that were discolored or damaged.
