A spokesman for the company confirmed it had withdrawn its application, which was made earlier this month, but would monitor the proceedings closely.
The Wilderness Society is challenging Environmental Minister Bill Marmion over the approvals process for the controversial project, to be built at James Price Point north of Broome.
The chairman of the state's Environmental Protection Authority ruled alone on the project after all other board members had to exclude themselves due to conflicts of interest, such as holding Woodside shares.
Just a fortnight ago, Woodside applied to be joined to the case as a respondent to protect its legal interests over the project.
The Wilderness Society opposed the bid, which would have added considerable financial weight to the government's defence. It would also double the costs bill for the society should the government be successful in defending the claim.
Kimberley campaign leader Glen Klatovsky said it never made sense for Woodside to be involved in the case.
"Our case is about the government's processes, we want to closely question the government's competence. It's logical Woodside wouldn't be involved."
The matter returns to court next month.
The gas hub is the subject of a number of legal disputes involving environmental and indigenous organisations.
On Sunday, thousands of people attended a free concert in Fremantle to protest against the project, including former Greens leader Bob Brown and musicians Missy Higgins and John Butler.
There are doubts as to whether the project will go ahead. Some of Woodside's joint venture partners are known to favour new and less expensive floating gas extraction technology to develop the asset.
The WA government has vowed to stop any attempt to process the gas offshore.
Woodside says it will make a final investment decision on the project mid-year.

Good Morning!
I have been making preparations for our holiday decor and wanted to share with you a project we started yesterday.
I have a vision for a glammed up holiday at home this year. I love all the ball ornament decorations I see out and about, but some of that stuff can get pretty pricey!
I purchased these very ugly fake rose topiaries at a garage sale for $1 each, knowing that I was going to use the base and the foam cone for this project. I like to hunt out things that have good bones that can be made over whether it be furniture, decor, or clothing.
I had my trusty assistant helping me pull all the flowers off. Good riddings!
I picked up some gold and silver ball ornaments dirt cheap from Goodwill. I bought all different sizes and only spent $7! I also went the shatter-proof route since little hands are so curious at home.
I simply just started at the base with the larger ornaments and gradually went smaller as I worked my way up. I opted for the glue gun and it worked out fine. After my first layer was in place I just filled in any gaps with the smaller ornament balls.
One down, one more to go!
I also like how this transitions to New Year Decor too…
Very glam indeed!
Have a great Wednesday!!

The Orioles are willing to listen to trade offers for closer Jim Johnson, according to ESPN's Buster Olney.
The Orioles say they are willing to listen to offers for closer Jim Johnson, who is set to make more than $10m in arbitration in '14.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) November 27, 2013
Baltimore is facing a massive payroll crunch this offseason, and Johnson's $10.8MM projected salary (per MLBTR's Matt Swartz) would seem to be a definite roadblock in their pursuit of top free agents to whom they've been linked, such as Carlos Beltran.

Four Anglican churches in North Lincolnshire have taken advantage of a 475-year-old law that gives them the right to demand money from home and land owners to help pay repair bills.
All Saints' at Winterton, St Mary's at Wrawby, St Nicholas' at Searby and St Hybald's at Scawby have so far registered 29 homes or plots of land as carrying liabilities to pay. Letters informing owners of their liabilities, which date back to the reign of Henry VIII, have been sent out by the Land Registry, which manages the list.

Seaside >> As they prepare for the postseason, the CSU Monterey Bay men's golfers are on a roll.
The Otters, ranked second in the nation among NCAA Division II teams by Golfstat, won the Hanny Stanislaus Invitational at Turlock Golf and Country Club on Tuesday. It was the second win in three tournaments for a team that hasn't finished worse than third in its past five events. But the level of competition will increase from here on out as the Otters head to the California Collegiate Athletic Association Championship at Brookside Country Club in Stockton on Tuesday, with the NCAA Regionals after that.
"Really it's no different for us other than it will be our first chance to compete in the postseason," CSUMB coach Jason Owen said. "I think it's a good tournament for us in preparation for regionals."
When CSUMB won the school's first national title in the 2010-11 season, they also won the Hanny Invitational and went on to win the CCAA Championship, the NCAA Regional and then the NCAA championship. The Otters also won the CCAA Championship last year, with CSUMB's Brandon Hortt winning the individual title.
The CCAA tournament will mark the third consecutive week the Otters will be in action.
"It's a little tiring," said senior Dylan Jackson, who shot a 1-under 215 in Stockton to place third, adding that its tough to go more than three straight weeks. "Anything more than that and it just kind of gets long-winded, especially with those 36-hole days (to start the tournaments)."
The Otters won four tournaments in the regular season, tying them with the 2010-11 national championship team for the best mark since the school joined the NCAA. As a sophomore at the time, Jackson carded a 6-under 66 in the final round of match play to help CSUMB secure the NCAA Division II title.
"I was one of the youngest on the team, there was me and four seniors in the starting five," Jackson said about the 2010-11 team. "We were different in the fact that we were kind of closers in tournaments. We would fall behind, and then we would get really motivated for the last round and catch everyone. This year, the team's really young."
Jackson has grown into a leader, guiding the team's younger players.
"He's helped me a lot," said sophomore Carr Vernon. "With this being my first semester (at CSUMB), I've really looked up to him to try and model myself after him. He's a good example of what you need to do, on the golf course and in the classroom."
Back in 2011, Jackson finished second in the NCAA Regionals to his teammate and older brother, John Jackson. As the No. 1 team in the NCAA's West Region, the Otters are a lock to return to the regionals for the seventh consecutive year. CSUMB will finally get a break after the CCAA Championship before heading to Grey Rock Golf Club in Austin, Texas, for the NCAA West/South Central Regional on May 6. The NCAA National Championship will be held at The Meadows Golf Course in Allendale, Mich., starting May 19.
Sophomore Anton Rosen said the team is confident heading into the postseason after consistent play through the regular season.
"I have a really good feeling (going into the CCAA Championship), and I'm real excited to play," he said. "I trust the four other guys I'm going to travel with (in the postseason) and it feels good."
Expectations were high to start the season, and Owen said they haven't changed. He thinks the team still has room for improvement, though.
"The overall goal is to win a national championship," Owen said. "I feel like we're still finding what makes them play their best. I know it's real late in the year and most coaches have got that figured out, but this is a young group and we're still a work in progress."
Palma Golf Tournament
The 35th edition of the fundraiser to benefit the Palma School athletic department will be held May 2 at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch.
The $165 entry includes golf with cart, box lunch, dinner, raffle, auction and prizes. Contact Paul Castagnetto at email@example.com or 776-8409 for more information.
Justin DeKnoblough aced the 149-yard 14th hole at Bayonet Golf Course using a 7-iron. . . . Clayton Clark aced the 140-yard second hole at Laguna Seca Golf Ranch using a 4-iron.

Appeals being filed Friday urge the justices to review last week's lower court ruling that upheld anti-gay marriage laws in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee. The ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was the first appellate ruling to side with states seeking to preserve gay marriage bans since the Supreme Court struck down part of a federal anti-gay marriage law last year. Federal Appeals Court will Hear Shooting Case By Associated Press & Dan Modlin • Jul 7, 2012 The Associated Press reports that a Federal Appeals Court will take up the case of a Kentucky mother who is suing the U.S. government over her son's shooting death at Fort Bliss. The U.S 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati has scheduled an oral argument date for July 17th in the lawsuit brought by Renee Richardson of Louisville.

[11 November 2013]
PopMatters Associate Music Editor
"Walk Don't Walk" kicks off a more frivolous section of Diamonds and Pearls. The album already has an air of frivolity to it, yet in a meaningful way; its lightness goes hand-in-hand with its confidence, freshness, and style. "Walk Don't Walk" is sort of anti-frivolity in the sense that it's trying to impart some words of wisdom to us listeners, to encourage us to follow our own path, to not be afraid of being bold enough to talk to strangers, to enter their space and at the same time walk our own way.
At least that seems to be the message. Prince and Rosie Gaines engage in a back-and-forth exchange of instructions; most of them turn out to be directions coming from society, messages we should ignore. "They" want you to walk with everyone else, to walk without confidence, (to "walk like you could use a ride"), to shut up until spoken to, to play the fool.
Their goofy interplay, punctuated in the background by horn noises, builds towards something almost gospel-like ("almost gospel-like" being a theme for much of the album), and the moral "The sun will shine upon you one day / If you're always walkin' your way". To say that Prince has written about nonconformity in more creative or interesting ways before would be a severe understatement.
Or even in more nonconformist ways…The song is inherently repetitive, filled with at least 30 utterances of the word "walk" (or a variation) and a decent handful of "talk". We feel like we're stuck within the boundaries of a word prison of some kind. Is that on purpose, to reveal the ways pop songs themselves reinforce conformity? Hmm…not sure I can go that far.
With the song that follows it ("Jughead"), "Walk Don't Walk" is also one of the most dated-feeling songs on the album. Or maybe that's just because of the word "psyche" – as in, "don't walk wherever they tell you to (psyche)". That "psyche" combined with the "don't" actually makes the line awfully confusing, which is representative of the song as a whole. It's a bit of a maze of statements and anti-statements.
By the end of the song, though, we realize it's been relatively short and sweet, a lightly cheesy space-filler to move us along.

LONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) Leaders Arsenal travel to Liverpool on Sunday for the heavyweight clash of the weekend in the English Premier League.
The two teams will approach the match in vastly different states of mind with Arsenal on a roll having won their last 12 matches in all competitions and Liverpool smarting from a defeat in the Champions League yesterday.
Liverpool went down 2-1 to Besiktas in Istanbul while Arsenal thumped Slavia Prague 7-0 at home on Tuesday to equal their biggest win in Europe and also equal the biggest winning margin in the Champions League itself.
Both are unbeaten in the Premier League so far, but Arsenal lead the standings with 25 points from eight wins and a draw from their nine matches while Liverpool have won five and drawn four and amassed 19 points from their nine.
Manchester United are second behind Arsenal and have hit a rich vein of scoring form with 12 goals in their last three matches, including their 4-2 Champions League win at Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday.
United host a Middlesbrough side who have drawn one and lost four of their last five league matches and look to have little chance of improving on that record at Old Trafford.
Manchester City, who have made a surprisingly good start to the season under former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and are in third place, face a real test of their potential at Chelsea, who are seventh and four points behind City.
Both teams are in form and both have won their last four matches.
At the other end of the table, Bolton Wanderers will begin life under new manager Gary Megson with a visit from Aston Villa, who will be looking to put last week's crushing 4-1 home defeat to Manchester United behind them.
Bolton have made a bad start to the season, and are bottom with just one win in their opening 10 games.
Another team looking to improve on a poor start are Tottenham Hotspur, who have also won just one of their opening 10 matches.
They face in-form Blackburn Rovers at White Hart Lane with speculation mounting that Spurs manager Martin Jol could lose his job to Blackburn's Mark Hughes if Spurs fail to win on Sunday.

Continue taking Curvinexx along with a healthy diet to gain additional cup sizes and achieve long lasting results.
Amy, Texas
"I was contemplating getting surgery because my breasts had become less perky over the years, but thought I should give these a try first. I am really happy I did because I've seen some big improvements. My breasts feel and look perkier than before and I've even had to go buy bigger bras. "
Michelle, Pennsylvania
"I have been an A cup for a long time and it made me feel self conscious about myself. With the help of these pills I was able to increase to a full C cup after using about 3 bottles. It was easy to use and they didn't give me any side effects. I'm pleased with my breasts now and would recommend them to other ladies out there. "

text: US & CanadaGuatemalan gets 6,060 years for massacre Former military commander Pedro Pimentel Rios handed largely symbolic sentence for war crimes committed during 1980s. 14 Mar 2012 09:36 GMT | US & Canada, Latin America, Guatemala, United States A former member of an elite Guatemalan military force has been sentenced to 6,060 years in prison for his role in the killings of 201 people in a 1982 massacre. Pedro Pimentel Rios, was the fifth former special forces soldier sentenced to 6,060 years or more for what became known as the "Dos Erres" massacre after the northern Guatemala hamlet where the killings occurred during the country's 1960-1996 civil war. The sentence that was handed down late on Monday by a three-judge panel specified 30 years for each of the 201 deaths, plus 30 years for crimes against humanity. Guatemala's civil war claimed at least 200,000 lives. The country's US-backed army was responsible for most of the deaths, according to the findings of a truth commission set up to investigate the bloodshed. Al Jazeera's David Mercer reporting from Solala in Guatemala, said the verdict was largely symbolic since under Guatemalan law the maximum time a convict could serve was 50 years. Pimentel Rios, 54, is a former instructor at a Guatemalan training school for an elite military force known as the "kaibiles." He lived in Santa Ana, California, and worked in a sweater factory for years until he was detained by immigration authorities in May 2010. He was extradited to Guatemala the following year. In December 1982, several dozen soldiers stormed the village of Dos Erres, searched homes for missing weapons and systematically killed men, women and children. Soldiers bludgeoned villagers with a sledgehammer, threw them down a well, and raped women and girls before killing them, according to court papers filed in a case brought by US prosecutors against another former kaibil. Guatemala opened an investigation into the killings in 1994 and unearthed 162 skeletons. Several years later, authorities issued arrest warrants for 17 kaibiles but the cases languished. In August 2011, a Guatemalan court sentenced three other former special forces soldiers to 6,060 years in prison each for the massacre, and sentenced a former army second lieutenant to 6,066 years.Source: Agencies

|Nameplate capacity
The Blythe Mesa Solar Power Project is a planned 485 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power station in Riverside County, California. The project was originally planned to be 1000 MW CSP using parabolic troughs, but the design has been changed to photovoltaics,[2][3] and the size reduced to 485 MW. Land clearing for the project began in 2015.[4]
The project was originally developed by Solar Trust of America. Also Chevron Energy Solutions planned to participate in the project.[5][6][7] Solar Trust was formed as a majority-owned (70%) subsidiary of Solar Millennium. California will need from 15,000 to 20,000 MW of renewable energy to meet the 33% renewable electricity generation requirement by 2020.[8]
The project is currently proposed by Renewable Resources Group (RRG) of Los Angeles.[9]
Blythe Solar was to be a $6 billion parabolic trough solar thermal plant, comprising four 242 MW units, located on 7,025 acres (2,843 ha) of Bureau of Land Management land, about 8 miles (13 km) west of the city of Blythe.[10][11]
The California Energy Commission unanimously approved the project on September 15, 2010.[12][13][14] The Bureau of Land Management cleared the project to go ahead on October 25, 2010.[15]
In April 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy offered a $2.1 billion conditional loan guarantee to Solar Trust, to reduce the interest on the $2.8 billion cost of building the first half of the project.[16] The offer was rejected by Solar Trust.
In August 2011, Solar Trust of America announced that the first half of the project would use photovoltaic panels instead of solar thermal power.[17][18] Solarhybrid is in talks with First Solar for supply of photovoltaic modules.[19]
In 2012, Solar Millennium tried to sell its stake in Solar Trust to other German solar energy developer, Solarhybrid;[20] however, this deal collapsed after all three companies filed for bankruptcy protection.[21] NextEra Energy Inc. was the top bidder for the project, according to an attorney representing creditors, acquiring the project in June 2012.[22]
In 2013, NextEra Energy submitted a proposal to reduce the project size to three 125 MW sections, and one 110 MW section, for a total of 485 MW.[23] Approval was granted in January 2014.[24]
In 2015, the Interior Department announced that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) had approved the 485 MW Blythe Mesa Solar Power Project. Approval was granted on August 24, 2015.[25]

I thought it would be a good idea if our blog readers could get to know us better. So here's a Q&A with me, Mike, DHgate's copywriter and editor. We'll continue this series with more staff as time goes by.
Q. How long have you worked for DHgate?
A. I've only been with DHgate a few months, starting at the end of August 2010. Before that I'd been a writer and editor for ex-pat magazines, and an English teacher, both in China and in Britain. I've been in China over three years now.
Q. What do you do?
A. I'm in charge of the blog (as you've probably noticed already), and the company Twitter account. I also help with the Facebook page and Forum, and I edit any messages or articles which colleagues need polishing, such as Terms and Conditions for competitions, or emails which are sent to customers.
Q. What attracted you to the job?
A. I loved the idea of being able to get DHgate's blog and social media to fulfill their potential. I'd plenty of practice in blogging and tweeting, and years of experience of writing, and it seemed a great opportunity.
Q. What sort of stuff did you blog about?
A. When I arrived in China in 2007 I blogged on Bebo about my experiences, as it was all so new and exciting and even mysterious. Then I started my own proper blog in September 2008, blogging about whatever I was interested in. I also got connected with other China-based ex-pats through Twitter.
Q. Is it very different working in China?
A. To some extent, yes, but maybe less than you might anticipate. Most of my colleagues speak English, and there's around half a dozen fellow ex-pats in my department, so communicating isn't a problem. Chinese work practices aren't very different from Western ones: business in China depends on good relations, but at work things operate essentially in the same way.
Q. What's life in Beijing like?
A. Now that is very different! I come from a small town in the north of Scotland, with a mere 8000 people, so Beijing, with its millions, is quite a contrast. It's fast-paced, developing screamingly fast, and just an exciting and interesting place to live. I love the restaurants from all corners of the world, and the sense of possibilties and an ever-enlarging future. The subway could be less crowded, though – that's one thing I'd complain about!
Q. What's it like working for DHgate?
A. This answer might seem predictable, but it's actually a lot of fun. We have a good team most of whom in their late twenties and thirties, so we're all at similar life stages. There's a good mix of boys and girls, good banter in the office, and we've had really enjoyable team-building days. I also like the culture of giving staff room for initiative and the positive, encouraging vibe we have.
Q. Why did you come to China?
A. Good question! In a way, it's just where life led me, that's all. To be specific, I'd been teaching high school English in Scotland but had "itchy feet" and wanted to travel. I saw adverts to teach at a university in China, and it seemed ideal, so I applied, and here I still am!
Q. What does the future hold?
A. I have difficulty seeing what tomorrow holds! I hope to get the DHgate blog and Twitter as good as can be – beyond that, who knows?
Do you have any questions for me? You can leave them below, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com!

Dear Editor,
I read your Op-Ed piece "Student voices are not being heard" (April 5) and if it's any consolation, the faculty often finds itself in the same position. But I know it's not and I do commend you for speaking up.
To effect change, however, students will have to be not only vocal, but also persistent, and be willing to take action. The food service workers' decision to unionize is a case in point. Over the past few decades, more and more universities, La Verne among them, have adopted a business approach to higher education, instead of a more progressive and democratic educational model.
Typically, business models are top down and violate some of the most basic tenets of what higher education should be. Part of students' education should involve being consulted on issues that affect them, even if in the end the final decision is not theirs. In the process, both students and administrators learn something, and it may even result in wiser decisions by the administration.
These are missed opportunities by a university that purports to put students first. Increasing the number of students dramatically, without increasing the number of full-time faculty and academic space to teach them, belies the claim as well. But if students do not insist on being heard, it will not happen. The following observation by the former slave and abolitionist, Frederick Douglass, is instructive: "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them." Faculty should take this to heart as well.

Administering a childcare program is a complex job, one that requires extensive skills and knowledge in both child development and program administration. The expectation that directors of childcare programs be well-trained and credentialed is ever-increasing. In keeping with this trend, in 1999 the Florida Legislature revised childcare licensing standards to require directors of licensed childcare facilities to have a Director Credential. As a result of the legislative changes, the Department of Children and Families developed a comprehensive, renewable Director Credential consisting of educational and experiential requirements at three levels: Level I, Level II and Advanced.
Effective Jan. 1, 2004, every childcare facility is required to have a credentialed director, except during evening hours. A director may only supervise one childcare facility, except if the facility is a before- and after-school program. The director is the on-site administrator/supervisor who must be present in the facility a majority of the time that the facility is in operation, except during evening hours of operation. Every applicant for a license to operate a childcare facility or a license for a change of ownership of a childcare facility must document that the facility director has a Director Credential prior to issuance of the license.
A Director Credential is valid for five (5) years from the date of issue. A Director Credential issued prior to Jan. 1, 2004 will have an initial renewal date of Jan. 1, 2009, and will require renewal every five years thereafter.
The credential requirements for each level are listed below.
Documenting Education Requirements:
Documenting Experience Requirements:
Course Requirements:
To qualify for a Level II credential, you must have at least one year of experience in on-site childcare and program administration, in addition to meeting all the requirements listed above.
Education Requirements:
Experience Requirements:
To achieve Advanced-level certification, you must have at least two years of experience in on-site childcare and program administration, in addition to meeting the requirements listed above.
Other requirements may apply. For more information, visit the Department of Children and Families website.
Note: Seminole State is the only facility that provides this training for center directors in Seminole County. Seminole State also allows directors and future directors to take the credential courses while obtaining their CDA or course requirements for Form 5211.
Class space is limited for both online and on-site courses.
Please contact the Early Childhood Education Department for more information:

Fayette Co. DARE Officer Resigns Amid Questions About Funds, Missing Property
A DARE officer and deputy in Fayette County has resigned after being interviewed over a fund discrepancy and missing items from a property room.
Deputy Dennis Cotner cited "personal reasons" when he resigned last week. He had been put on administrative leave on March 22.
For at least two decades, Cotner served the Fayette County Sheriff's Office without any major issues, according to a search of his personnel file.
Cotner was questioned about a discrepancy in funds for an upcoming DARE event and missing jewelry from the sheriff's Office property room.
Fayette County Sheriff Vernon Stanforth says he was tipped off that Cotner had improperly destroyed property room evidence, which turned out to be a bracelet and watch from a home invasion investigation in 2012.
"He kept saying the property was destroyed I couldn't find the owner," Stanforth said. "I broke it up. That's not how we destroy property."
According to the sheriff, Cotner claimed he destroyed the jewelry after not being able to find the owners.
"Extremely disappointed. Extreme disappointment. That he knew what the policy was. We entrusted him with the program with other responsibilities of the property room," Vernon Stanforth said.
Cotner was also interviewed by authorities over registration money for a DARE fishing event. Cotner has since deposited the $270 in registration fees.
"He acknowledged he shouldn't have taken the money home," Stanforth said.
Since then the Sheriff says the department has installed a new software program in the property room that tracks every piece of evidence that goes in and out of the room. Before, it was done by hand.
The Fayette County Prosecutors Office will now continue the investigation to determine if charges will be filed.
Cotner had been with the office since 1994.

text: Besides from obviously increasing the weight of the racquet, how is the performance affected when weight is added to the handle of the racquet? The racquet will be more HL but the head will still have the same weight and (from what I understand) the SW wont go down either so will the racquet actually be more manouverable? What about stability, comfort, power and racquet speed etc? How will the serve and ground strokes be affected?


text: Hi, I have a 2002 A4 B6 with the Symphony II headunit. I am looking for an OEM unit from a B7 that will play MP3. I was originally looking for an RNS-E, but due to the fact that they are more expensive and I dont really use SatNav I am looking at alternatives. Ideally I am looking for a Symphony II+ but cant seem to find any, I have found a few Concerts though. My question is, what are the differences between the symphony & concert? Im taking it the symphony's are of better quality? Many thanks.

They have infested our settlement stolen horses and held some few they have come in a few miles of this place they rove about in small companies stealing and killing where opportunity offers. some 3 weeks ago 3 companies of our troops (can't make out a word here) the rio grande river and the indians attacked them there was about 700 and fifty indians and they had a battle and killed about 80 of the indians and wounded about 100 the indians had declared war. Our country is settling very fast with polanders and german dutch we have in this place about 5 languages the polanders dutch spanish french and english. I would like to see old Tennessee again and all the acquaintances and friends there...mee and Chamberlain, another brother-in-law of George McFarland, owns a track of land on santonia river joining the town tract.

This week marked the official launch of OUR PAPER SHOP, a collaboration between the lovely Emma and I! After working on several web design projects together this summer, we got to talking about our love for all things paper! We knew we had similar design aesthetics and got along great, so diving into an online shop only seemed natural.
Our paper shop, coming THIS WINTER, will have loads of stationery, stamps, and other paper goods!! We couldn't be more excited to share with you all what we've been working so hard on these past couple of months. Seriously. For the time being, you can see our website's splash page here (and sign up for our enewsletter) and follow us on twitter! We promise to give you all little sneak peeks in the near future.
Cheers to great collaborations!

Making Patio Access Easy
When you can see the patio from inside your home it has visual access. Seeing it is an invitation to use the patio.
To create effective visual access, locate the patio where you can easily see it through windows or doors. If existing windows or doors don't provide an inviting view, consider installing new ones. Ideally at least some of the patio should be visible from more than one room, but the best view of the patio should be from the room that adjoins it.
You don't need to see the entire patio to want to get out and enjoy it. Often a limited view is better, especially if you want a more private patio.
Landscaping your patio and its surroundings to make them more attractive entices guests outdoors. Incorporating accents that you can see from the inside, such as carefully placed container gardens, variations in the paving pattern, or a decorative insert in a wall section visible through a window, also makes your patio more attractive.
When you're considering visual access to your patio, remember to look down. Using similar (or the same) flooring materials or similar colors or textures on both the interior floor and patio surface visually links the two spaces and makes a smooth transition.Physical access
Physical access refers to the ability to move from inside the house to the patio. The path to the patio should be obvious and easy. Doors should lead from rooms that adjoin the patio and paths should be clear.
Make a sketch of the traffic patterns in your home, then visualize how a patio will affect them. You may need to make changes to accommodate movement to the patio. For example, adding the patio on the side of your kitchen may turn the cooking area into a busy throughway. Moving or adding a door or rearranging interior furnishings can solve such problems.
Plan the entry so you can step easily from the room onto the patio. Make the patio surface as close as possible to the level of the interior floor.
If the patio surface must be significantly lower than the doorway, add a landing or an entry platform so you won't have to step down as soon as you pass through the door. A landing can prevent stumbling as you go from the house onto the patio.
If a landing is not possible, build steps. Make the steps wider than the doorway to create the illusion of spaciousness. Make each tread (the part you step on) at least 12 inches deep and keep the rise (the distance you step up) low so the stairs are easier to go up and down.Compatibility
When the general purposes of the indoor room and the patio are similar, the patio becomes a natural extension of the room. For this reason, the success of your patio may depend on its nearest indoor room.
A small patio where you can enjoy coffee and the morning paper is just right outside a bedroom, for example, but a large patio for parties and entertaining is not appropriate there.
For outdoor dining put the patio close to the kitchen, even if you will have a self-contained outdoor cooking space. Build-in a receptacle for trash so you don't have to carry it back into the house. Establish entertainment areas close to the living room, family room, or dining room, and maximize access with doorways from other rooms where you would entertain. Add exterior paths and walkways so guests can get to the patio without going through the house.
For a more private area, limit access. A patio that you can reach through only one room makes a private retreat. Shield your patio behind hedges or fencing.Improving access
Improving access is often all it takes to turn an underused patio into a favorite family place. If you don't use your patio as much as you thought you would, visual or physical access may be the problem.
If you feel you're on display while meditating on the patio, for instance, the site probably allows too much visual access. Add a fence, shrubs, or an overhead structure to screen the patio and enhance privacy. While areas for private use should have limited visual access, areas for public use can afford to be more open to outside views.
Inconvenient physical access from interior rooms can also reduce the use of your patio. If getting to your patio from inside is a circuitous journey with many obstacles, try rearranging the interior furniture. If the patio furnishings obstruct a natural pathway, rearrange them too. If rearrangement doesn't improve traffic flow, consider enlarging a door or adding a new one. Expanding the patio might be a solution too.Pro Tip
Make the right connections
To avoid traffic jams, make sure the main door to the patio is wide enough to allow easy passage and to offer an inviting view from inside the house. French doors, atrium doors, and sliding doors are especially suitable for connecting the inside and outside.
Take a compatibility inventory of your home. Sketch a floor plan and label the use of each room as active (entertaining, for example) or passive (reading). You may have rooms that warrant both labels, but one type of activity usually predominates. Match up active patio areas with active interior rooms, and passive patio spaces with passive rooms. Patio space for kids' play is better outside a family room, playroom, or den. Patio space for reading feels more comfortable adjacent to a bedroom or living room.
While you're at it, analyze the way family members and guests move through your home. Sketch in the windows and doors of the rooms and draw arrows that show the usual traffic routes. If there's furniture in the way, rearrange it to open up the view and physical paths to the outdoors.

Sometimes, I get so busy it's tough to write. That was the case last Friday when I covered Woodland's Fourth of July activities during the day, leaving the night pyrotechnics to writer Margaret Baum. For me, the day started with a Pancake Breakfast at Woodland Fire Station No. 3, where I did have my fill of pancakes.
Then it was off to the Bicycle Parade, hosted by the city, and Ice Cream Social put on by the Woodland Computer Club at the Community & Senior Center. The parade was a fun event, although it seemed there were fewer people this year. Maybe potential participants were still eating pancakes? Part of my job is getting in the "line of fire." So, when bicycle riders started peddling their way from Heritage Plaza to Freeman Park, I plopped myself down on Main Street and started taking photographs. The only scary part was when Mayor Tom Stallard rode past. I detected a distinct gleam in his eye as though he had an excellent opportunity to run over a reporter. Fortunately, common sense prevailed and I moved out of the way just slightly.
The ice cream social was equally packed, drawing about 300 adults and children, who also got to watch the Woodland Stompers strutting their stuff.
Despite attending all the activities, I was still able to put together a story, take photographs, do videos and generally be accessible should people want to talk about how little The Daily Democrat is involved in the community.
Capping the day, of course, was the fireworks celebration sponsored by PG&E, along with the Woodland Elks Lodge, Waste Management, Adams Grain, Conaway Preservation Group, Nugget Markets, and Food-4-Less, RDM Audio Visual Rentals, Main Street Music Studios, Denny Design, the WAVE, Woodland Chamber of Commerce, Woodland Healthcare, Clark Pacific, and Best & Krieger. Other sponsors included West Yost Associates, Valley Tire Center, Pioneer Investors, Turn of the Century, Teichert, Dr. Glen Warganich-Stiles & Dr. Bill Marble, the Wiseman Company, Davies Enterprises, Lawson Property Management, Tom and Meg Stallard, BlackPine Holdings, and the Woodland Recreation Foundation. Make sure you say thank you to these sponsors if you can.

Of course while people were having fun on the fourth, fifth and sixth of July, a fire broke out near Lake Berryessa. As of this writing, the blaze was being brought under a semblance of control at around 6,500 acres. It was 55 percent contained as of Tuesday morning thanks to the work of 1,913 firefighters from across the region and the state. When not on the fire lines, work crews have been camping out at the Yolo County Fairgrounds, where they can eat and sleep. It's unfortunate that fires like this were predicaable due to the drought. It's also unfortunate that we often spend more money fighting fires than we do in preventing them. But we're still catching up on decades the mistaken belief that there should be no wildland fires, ever. That's just not good ecology. Small fires can be a good thing if they're managed correctly, otherwise we get these monster blazes that sap our resources.
Nonetheless, I have the deepest respect for firefighters and we should send out thanks to those men and women who are out in the steep terrain around Lake Berryessa bringing this inferno under control.

People actually do read and think about the stories appearing in The Democrat. We had a story about Vicki Cosio several weeks back, who was a semi-pro tennis player and now has written a book on Peruvegan cooking. One reader questioned Cosio's claim that she worked for the Woodland Police Department, noting her own 22-year tenure with WPD. The writer checked out Cosio's claim and learned that she was there for about two years in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Meanwhile, another writer checked out the chocolate chip cookie recipe provided by Laurie Kavenaugh on a recent Food Page. The recipe was for Nestle's Toll House Cookies and reported that 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar was needed. Not so, wrote the alert baker. Nestle's recipe calls for 3/4 cup of brown sugar. The cookies are still some of my favorites.

Carmex Moisture Plus
Carmex Moisture Plus Reviews
Bitter, doesn't get absorbed by the lips - very much like flavored Vaseline...I got one of these as a gift, from a friend who recently went on a short trip to NYC. So the one I have is the limited edition one in "soft vanilla flavor" with an SPF 15. Definitely fell in love with the packaging right away… The tube is the same shape and size as the one pictured on "totalbeauty.com" but the color is different. It's got these sort of waves of different colors pain...read moreted on randomly, which makes it look very unique and definitely easy to find for someone who has a tendency to accumulate tons of miscellaneous items on the bottom of their purse (such as myself ). So the claim on the package is that this balm has a Sunscreen (SPF 15) and that it is water-resistant for 80 minutes. I would think that it should be really useful for a swimmer or for someone who exercises a lot. For myself, I am very sad to say that I found myself wiping it off after about a half an hour of wearing it on my lips. I really did try loving it. When you first apply it, the texture is very similar to Vaseline, it smells like vanilla flavored Vaseline and it does, kind of feel moisturizing, but I feel that it doesn't really get absorbed by my lips, so even though my lips were visibly softer, I didn't feel like it was benefiting them on the inside in any kind of way. Also, for some weird reason, I constantly had to wipe my teeth off with my tongue because somehow, this balm was incessantly sticking to them. As well, the very bitter taste of this balm was overpowering to me. So all those things together with the fact that after about 20 minutes, I started feeling this stuff collecting in the corners of my lips inevitably led to me just taking everything off after about a half an hour… So as pretty as it looked, unfortunately I cannot recommend this to anyone. And I am not saying that this balm doesn't do what it claims to do or isn't efficient. It might possibly work really well at repelling water and protecting your lips from sun damage – I just can't recommend this based on the fact that wearing it on your lips is not enjoyable at all. — 3 years, 8 months agoNikatron | 150 reviews

Good treatmentThis is great for treating chapped lips. It is moisturizing, though I don't find it as moisturizing as some other lip balms I've used. What I like is that it doesn't have so much of a medicinal kind of scent/taste as the classic Carmex. I especially love this in the winter when I have to be outside and I want to protect my lips from getting chapped and dry from the cold wind and weather. — 5 years agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

Search is on for robber who left cigarettes
Deputies are searching for a man who robbed a 7-Eleven at knifepoint last week, then drove off with the stolen cartons of cigarettes still sitting on top of his trunk. The Pasco County Sheriff's Office has posted video from the robbery at tinyurl.com/2fflocw. The man entered the store at 6315 Rowan Road about 4:30 a.m. Oct. 15. Armed with a large butcher knife, the man demanded money and cigarettes and threatened to stab the clerk if she did not comply, the Sheriff's Office said. The robber went behind the counter and took money from the cash register, as well as four cartons of Marlboro cigarettes from a storage cabinet. When he left the store, he placed the cartons on the trunk of his car — then sped away, causing the cartons to fall to the ground. The suspect was described as a white man in his early to mid 20s, wearing a black hat and blue jeans shorts. He drove a two-door red Pontiac. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Lisa Schoneman toll-free at 1-800-854-2862 ext. 7473 or the Pasco Sheriff's Office Crime Tips Line at 1-800-706-2488.

4. Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB)
Facebook alienated its investors in a particularly public fashion, which was played out for days in many major media outlets in the U.S. and abroad. Its IPO was one of the most widely anticipated since the dot-com public offering bubble years of 1999 and 2000, which was immediately followed by a collapse in the value of many of those offerings. From its IPO price of $35, the stock fell to below $20 in less than three months. Facebook has had customer satisfaction issues for some time, but recently did a particularly good job of alienating a portion of its nearly one billion members. According to the ACSI, Facebook is one of the most strongly disliked American companies, beaten out only by three public utilities companies. This comes in part from the company's continuing user privacy concerns. Mark Zuckerberg's company did not help itself in this regard in 2012, after it announced that it had the right to republish any and all photos in the accounts of its Instagram users.

Hiking is Free!
Hiking is a free and fun activity for the whole family. Really, throw on some clothes and sunscreen, fill up some plastic bottles with water and head out for a day of adventure! There are tons of great trails around Grand Junction and some that are within 10 minutes of town. If you head down Monument Road to the Lunch Loop trails you'll find lots of fun places to explore. From easy, almost flat trails to very steep ones, you can either get in a great workout or a leisurely stroll. Here's a photo from my bike ride (if you have a bike already then biking there is also free ;) on Saturday.
For more information on the trails at Lunch Loop and access to maps, visit bikegjco.com!

Man rows across Atlantic Ocean
NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - The end of a very long journey was finally in sight for Victory Mooney on Monday. The determined rower made it across the Atlantic Ocean after nearly two years in the water.
Mooney, who lost a brother to AIDS, says he accomplished his feat to raise awareness for the disease after four attempts had failed.
#Faith: At the Brooklyn Bridge, I will finally hang up my oars. I'm ready for the next chapter in my life. Thank... https://t.co/JEueYswe1W— Victor Mooney (@goreechallenge) November 29, 2015
It was a fitting end for Mooney as Monday marks World Aids Day.
