text: Grain Sorghum Needed For Ethanol Chromatin is hosting Modesto grower meeting to discuss grain sorghum opportunities for ethanol. Published on: Feb 1, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Chromatin Inc., a privately held provider of innovative crop breeding technology, sorghum seed products and feedstocks, will host a meeting on February 5 at the Doubletree by Hilton in Modesto to introduce production opportunities for grain sorghum in California. Grain sorghum is a resilient and versatile crop that has proven benefits for growers and in ethanol production. It is tolerant to heat and drought conditions, uses less water than other major crops, and can work well as a double crop alternative behind wheat or in rotation with cotton and vegetable crops. The grower meeting will provide details on the Chromatin 2013 Grain Sorghum Program, including seed options, contract terms, agronomic and grower protocol information. Contracting opportunities will be available through Chromatin for grain sorghum planting in the spring of 2013. Harvested grain sorghum will be delivered to participating ethanol plants for biofuel production, including Pacific Ethanol in Stockton, Aemetis in Keyes, and Calgren in Pixley. Grain sorghum is tolerant to heat and drought conditions, uses less water than other major crops, and can work well as a double crop alternative behind wheat or in rotation with cotton and vegetable crops. "We're excited about the opportunities that grain sorghum presents for California growers and the state's energy producers," says Daphne Preuss, Chromatin's CEO. "Grain sorghum is a flexible crop that can fit in many farming operations and has proven yields in California growing areas. It requires minimal changes to current practices and offers a new option for growers and uses less fertilizer and water than corn." Chromatin is a recognized leader in providing quality sorghum seed and sorghum feedstocks. The company has more than 40 years of experience delivering seed and Chromatin products are planted on more than 3 million acres globally each year. In 2012, Chromatin announced its first crop of sorghum was grown and used for ethanol production by a California ethanol company, Pacific Ethanol, Inc. Using sorghum seed provided by Chromatin, L and R Mussi Farms of Stockton produced 40 acres of sorghum that were harvested and delivered to Pacific Ethanol's ethanol production plant in Stockton. The meeting is open to any interested grower. Visit www.chromatininc.com/news.html or call 559-310-1112 for more details and to register for the meeting.

Missouri Hoopster Zach Price Arrested Twice in 24 Hours
Mizzou Wins 4th Straight Braggin' Rights Game
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- After a long wait, Jabari Brown is finally feeling like part of the Missouri basketball program.
Making his first start of the season, Brown had 18 points and seven rebounds Saturday to lead the 12th-ranked Tigers to an 82-73 win over No. 10 Illinois in the annual Braggin' Rights game.
Laurence Bowers paced Missouri (10-1) with 23 points and 10 rebounds, while Alex Oriakhi added 13 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Phil Pressey had 12 points and 11 assists to help the Tigers win their fourth straight in the 32-year-old series.
Brown, a transfer from Oregon, became eligible after the first semester and made his initial appearance Monday in a 102-51 win over South Carolina State.
A blue-chip recruit, he made the most of his first starting assignment Saturday.
"It was fun. I'm part of the family now," he said.
Brown anxiously watched from the sidelines as the Tigers rolled out to an 8-1 record without him. After becoming eligible, he has worked hard to make up for lost time.
"I wanted to prove I could play right away and fit in any way I can," Brown said. "I spent a lot of time practicing and getting used to things and the way they play here.
"Now, I'm finally feeling comfortable."
Brandon Paul led Illinois (12-1) with 23 points. Tyler Griffey scored 14, Joseph Bertrand had 13 and Nnanna Egwu 12 for the Illini.
Missouri used a 9-0 run late in the game to take the lead for good at 70-64. The Tigers held a 58-35 edge on the boards and outscored Illinois 44-24 in the paint.
Illinois, which leads the overall series 20-12, won nine meetings in a row from 2000-08 before Missouri began its winning streak.
Brown triggered a key 9-0 spurt that erased a three-point deficit and put the Tigers ahead 70-64. He had four points and two rebounds during the 2:31 span.
Brown scored from close range off a perfect pass from Earnest Ross to increase the lead to 68-64. Pressey added a short jumper seconds later to complete the run.
Oriakhi, who had his fourth double-double of the season, was impressed with Brown's effort.
"He's unbelievable. He did a little bit of everything tonight," Oriakhi said. "I can't believe he's fit in so fast. He's one of us now."
Brown played in two games at Oregon last season before deciding to transfer. He watched last season's Braggin' Rights game from his home in Oakland and was intrigued by the atmosphere, which annually features a sellout crowd with the fans divided equally between the schools.
"I had visited (Missouri) and really hadn't made a decision, but I thought, if I choose (Missouri), that's going to be a fun game to play in," Brown said.
Missouri coach Frank Haith was more than pleased with the performance of his new addition. He immediately moved Brown into the starting lineup after a 12-point performance against South Carolina State, in which Brown excelled defensively.
"It was all about our balance," Haith said. "And he can do a lot of things."
The physical game against Illinois featured 19 lead changes, 35 fouls and 43 free throws.
"They've got a lot of depth and they've got size," Illinois first-year coach John Groce said. "They're good now. They've got a chance to get even better moving forward."
The Tigers scored 12 of the final 16 points in the first half to take a 41-35 lead into the break. Illinois reeled off eight unanswered points midway through the second half to go up 51-50 on a driving layup by Tracy Abrams. The Illini took their biggest lead of the second half, 64-61, on a baseline jumper by Egwu with 6:43 remaining.
But the Missouri defense took over from there, forcing seven successive Illinois misses. Brown, Ross, Tony Criswell and Pressey chipped in with key baskets.
Illinois managed only three field goals in the final 3:29.

The Long View
Isle Royale National Park draws visitors who like nature rugged and remote. It's also the site of the longest-running study ever of a predator and its primary prey--even as global warming shows signs of upsetting the natural balance.
It's standing room only tonight in the Rock Harbor hall, unlike on my first visit in 1962. Rolf's aerial shots of wolf-moose encounters in midwinter, taken from an altitude of 500 feet with a long, stabilized telephoto lens--are breathtaking if, well, pretty vivid. Red on white. A wide-angle close-up of a coal-black raven guarding a moose carcass that's mostly skeleton elicits some laughs. Rolf's laptop computer--the Kodak is obsolete--projects a graph on the screen showing that there were 20 wolves and 570 moose on Isle Royale when the study began and that the score was 20 to 1,250 when he arrived. And as the biologist explains, predator and prey numbers cycled in tandem, with the wolf population peaking about a decade after the moose herd when there were a lot of aged animals to bring down on the snowy killing fields. (That's not as easy as it sounds. The front legs of a 900-pound moose are formidable weapons, and Rolf once watched an old, blind bull stand its ground against a pack of wolves for three days until they gave up and decided to look elsewhere for a meal.)
By the winter of 1980, he relates, a record high of 50 wolves in five packs prowled the island, while the moose herd had slowly declined to 750 animals. But researchers were astounded to find only 14 wolves when they arrived at their winter camp, at Windigo on the island's southwest end, in January 1982. Canine parvovirus, a mutant disease that would ravage domestic dogs on the mainland, had swept Isle Royale. National Park Service policy explicitly bans pets from the park. But as Rolf later learned, a clueless Chicago man had brought his sick dog along on a fishing trip over the previous Fourth of July holiday. For a decade, the wolf population staggered along at a dozen or so animals and grew top-heavy with old wolves that had little success at breeding. At times Rolf wondered if they were on a fast track to extinction. And the impact of the tragedy is still being felt.
During a lifetime of 10 to 12 years, an Isle Royale wolf will feed on 200 or more moose kills. But now that the packs were decimated by disease, the herd exploded as it had in the 1920s, peaking at 2,400 animals in 1995. The next winter was especially severe, with blizzards bearing down in December. Moose, infested with tens of thousands of blood-sucking winter ticks that can weaken even a big bull, struggled through three feet of snow to find scarce food. From his plane, Rolf watched the starving animals leaning over steep cliffs for a mouthful of browse--and falling into Lake Superior. "The real clincher," he tells me over coffee the next morning, "was that snowmelt occurred six to eight weeks later than usual. Moose simply ran out of fat and died before any new forage was available." Only 500 moose were left by the winter of 1997, most of the old animals had perished, calves were few, and the handful of surviving wolves were digging up old carcasses and eating the sun-dried hides.
The next few years proved less tumultuous. The island's battered forest was recovering, and the moose herd rebounded to an estimated 1,100 by the winter of 2003. The wolf population likewise surged, to 30 animals in 2005. By then, however, moose numbers were again heading downhill and wolves followed their slide due to a lack of prey. Last winter's survey tallied just 385 moose and 21 lean wolves. And John Vucetich, a population biologist at Michigan Tech who has been Rolf's research partner since 2000, blames climate change. Five of the past six summers, he notes, were the warmest since the Isle Royale study began in 1958. "Hot summers are particularly hard on moose," Vucetich explains. "They tend to rest more and don't eat enough forage to get through a long, bitter winter." A warm spring or fall, he adds, can also trigger a devastating tick infestation. It's not unusual for a hiker to encounter moose that have lost most of their hair because of ticks. Another sign of global warming: No snow fell on Isle Royale for a month last winter when researchers were at the Windigo camp.
Playing devil's advocate, I ask Rolf if there's anything more to be learned by continuing the study into another decade or beyond. "We're not simply watching moose and wolf populations go up and down," he answers. "The dynamics of the predator-prey relationship on Isle Royale are extremely complex, involving subtleties of weather, parasites, snow conditions, the food base. That's just for starters. Then pivotal events occur with effects that are felt for decades. Finally, each 10-year period of this study has been unique, bearing little resemblance to other decades. So we don't put much stock in predictions anymore. That's especially true in a world where accelerating climate change will influence virtually everything."

Witness the story behind one of the world's most unexpected and unfortunate economic crises, the late-2000s global recession. Directed by Charles Ferguson and narrated by Matt Damon, Inside Job is a crime documentary that maps the source, outcome and impact of the global financial crisis that hit the world somewhere between 2007-2008. Having won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Inside Job also looks at how the systemic corruption of the US at the hands of the financial services industry consequentially disrupted the economy of the Earth.

Americans are perhaps worse than Indians when it comes to corruption for they have legalised it by calling it lobbying. From top CEOs to treasury secretaries to directors of regulatory bodies to academicians were steeped in corruption and were willingly involved in bringing about the global economic disaster of 2008, the shocks of which are still being felt. This movie is an eye opener to how things work in the USA and how even a well meaning Obama failed to do anything about it. The moral of the movie is - Greed is NOT good.
The biggest shock was how iconic institutes like Harvard etc were not only privy to the crime but also were party to it. There is much that Indian bureaucrats need to learn from what the americans did NOT do so that we may insulate our economy from such crimes.
It is depressing top executives of global giants like Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers etc looted their own people and global citizens alike to feed their vices with impunity and how, as usual, it was the "aam aadmi", the Joe, who was made to foot the bill. This is a must watch documentary and will surely make you get a yucky feeling for B-Schools' methods to disseminate propoganda so that their coffers remain full. I have myself always hated financial companies' excesses because they really do not care about the investors and always try and sell them products where the company makes a "kill". They should be very closely regulated by a government which does NOT depend on their money to run its election campaigns. The big business - politician nexus is a disease rampant in all democracies and our politicians' eagerness to install nuclear power plants everywhere is a good example of that. This documentary forces us to look inwards and to ask oursleves a simple question - do we need all that we consume these days? Does that make us happier and wiser than the generations before us? Is Greed good?
This should be taught in schools and in colleges that consumption is desirable only till a certain level. Owning 5 homes when one has a family of 3 is Greed. And Greed, my friends, was always, is and will always remain BAD.
The Inside Job is special because it is not a bunch of conspiracy theories. The author has deconstructed the sub-prime crisis after pain-staking research and tons of facts, and it shows. Some of the interviews with the perpetrators of this crime are nothing short of a coup! Towards the end of the interview, they sense trouble and clam up... further proving their guilt. The two biggest take-aways from this analysis were how the academics have been compromised to lend credibility to these greedy strategies, and secondly, how powerful are they that (despite Obama's promises) the same people who caused the crisis are back in the saddle to ostensibly fix it (or fix evidence). This movie will be a guiding light when we are past this recession, and the next one hits us...
Narrated by Matt Damon this outstanding must watch documentary showcases how the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 was triggered in USA by combined efforts of greedy and unscrupulous banks, financial institutes and regulatory bodies.
In the director's own words the movie displays the systemic corruption of the United States by the financial services industry and the consequences of that systemic corruption.
Based on several interviews of Wall Street honchos, former executives of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, AIG, Lehmann Brothers and many other heads and CEOs (several of whom refused to be interviewed as stated in the documentary) this movie will make you simmer with anger once you see for yourself how the American financial industry set out deliberately to defraud the ordinary American investor.
When the bailout was announced by the US Govt it was for the investment banks and financial institutes and not for the ordinary American citizens and their European counterparts who had invested their hard earned money into the schemes (which were basically by products of subprime lending mortgages converted into CDOs and Credit default swaps) and lost it.
The irony of it all, the men who were directly responsible for creating this worldwide economic havoc, who made thousands lose their money and their jobs were eventually given hefty bonuses by the boards and reinstated in more powerful positions by the new US Govt.
Whether you are an economist or a B School grad or not even remotely related to the 2008 financial crisis watching this movie will definitely be an eye opener for you. Period.
Way back in 2010, SBI Mutual Funds showed this documentary to us. I sincerely thanks SBI MF for the same. Till date I have bought 3 copies of this DVD, all through FLIPKART, and have gifted one each to one of my fellow banker-cum-client and another to a renowned Editor of a Chennai based spiritual magazine, who often writes thought provoking editorials and articles about the problems of our modern society and how to overcome them. Both of them have appreciated this gift.
This documentary is a must for all of those who want to have a look at the shallowness of our modern life esp as it is in the so called developed world esp those working in the field of banking and finance. It shows how the greed of some people coupled with systematic failure resulted into worldwide financial meltdown of 2007, which we haven't yet overcome. How a few well intentioned men; including two Indians who warned of impending catastrophe; were humiliated and harassed, how perpetrators of this crisis were not only not penalised but were duly rewarded with huge separation packages. How US's financial policies are dictated by 10-15 lobbyist sitting behind every congressman and senator. Better watch this documentary to know about the disgusting ways of our modern financial system. I can't say if 'THOUGHT PROVOKING' is good enough a word to describe this documentary
This is a must see movie to know what caused the Great financial recession. A very complex matter is explained cleanly and in an easily understandable way. Matt Damon narrative is very good.

When it comes to discussions of intellectual property and copyright, things tend to slant in two directions: pass stringent laws to protect creators and artists or, conversely, avoid any legislation that might encroach on individual freedoms. While these arguments address the rights of people and corporations, they tend to ignore the bigger picture. How do IP rights affect the advance of culture as a whole? Enter Ready to Share.
The Ready to Share project "explores the fashion industry's enthusiastic embrace of sampling, appropriation and borrowed inspiration," positing that the lack of restriction actually makes fashion a business leader and one of the most creative (not to mention profitable) business models going. The project includes participants from fashion and entertainment quarters, as well as academics, scientists, business executives and archivists, and has published several research reports. I have to say, I was really pleased to see fashion hailed as a visionary industry – especially when it's so often dismissed as trivial by more, well, industrial types.
In the clip below, the smart and stylish Johanna Blakley explains why fashion is (or should be) the envy of innovators everywhere.

Large Database Backup is a class to back up large MySQL databases into multiple files. It can list the tables of a given MySQL database, and generate SQL statements to create and insert records with the current values of the table rows, as if it were creating a new database. The class stores the generated SQL statements in files. A full backup process can be split into multiple iterations so as to not exceed the PHP default script execution time limit. Each iteration dumps a limited number of table rows. An iteration can be executed by a script that redirects the page request to itself at the end to proceed to the next iteration.
Change Web Site Mode is a PHP class that can be used to switch the access to sites between test and production versions. Each Web site must have a copy of all files in the production server and in a test server. This class allows the user to switch between the two copies of the site without having to change the URL. It provides a GUI interface for switching between the test mode and production site. The test version may be run in the local machine or in another machine.
MP3 Management can be used to build a catalog of MP3 files in a MySQL database. It can traverse a given directory to find MP3 files. For each MP3 file that is found, it extracts its ID3 tags, including album art, and adds an entry in a MySQL database. The class also extracts 20 second clips of each MP3 file and stores them in a subdirectory named clips. The duration of the clips is configurable. The class is intended to be used with the Id3 Tag Correction and Downloading script, which corrects id3 tags and downloads lyrics, artist biographies, and other information using Web services and other Web sites.

Madam Cheng Sow Keng, 65, can't help but fawn over her swimming instructor of just over a year.
The housewife has lost count of the number of friends that she has recommended to Mr Foo Fook Jee.
But Mr Foo is not your typical swimming instructor - he is neither tan, buff, nor young.
In fact, he just turned 82 in June earlier this year.
The great-grandfather of two has been giving swimming lessons to senior citizens for the past 18 years – free of charge.

Siquid mantica non capit, domi relinquendum est.
Nice article. The principles and values make me feel good about supporting the company, but it's easy to do so when the purchases are of such high quality. Keep up the good work!
I loved TB's company before, I love it even more now.
Keep up the outstanding work and ethics!
I still don't agree with the infamous label but I do agree with the article that the web site, and the forum and customer picture sections within it, are a big reason why the company is able to do what it does. It really is alarming to me how bigger companies can't figure out how to put more product pictures on their web sites.
Only bad thing about the article is that it only gave the dogs one sentence. What nerve!

You are here: Home > UK Campsites

> Beach Camping in South West England
Arguably the country's ultimate holiday hot spot, the South West of England has something for everyone, with fabulous beaches, dramatic coastline and rolling countryside.
Our Club Sites are the perfect base to explore the area and its stunning sandy beaches.
Our Club Site between Boscastle (6.5 miles away) and Crackington Haven (3.5 miles away) is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with lovely sandy beaches and stunning coastline. Crackington Haven has a long sandy beach with plenty of rock pools, which stretches all the way to Boscastle. When in Boscastle you can enjoy the views from the harbour or enjoy a coastal walk or fishing trip. The town of Bude is 9 miles north and is a great seaside town with a large sandy beach and free tidal swimming pool.
Our Charmouth Club Site is just 3 miles from the town's sandy beach, with a wide expanse of sand at low tide. The beach is safe for swimming and occasionally provides good surf. The Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre sits just behind the beach, where you can learn more about the local coastal and marine wildlife and enjoy interactive displays and information about fossils. Lyme Regis is just under 4 miles from the site, with a choice of four more sandy beaches and a host of other attractions.
Our Club Site at Corfe Castle is near several blue-flag awarded beaches including Studland (6.5 miles away) and Swanage (7 miles away), as well as the picturesque Lulworth Cove (14 miles away) and the popular seaside towns of Bournemouth (20 miles away), Poole (16 miles away) and Weymouth (23 miles away). Swanage can be reached by steam railway that runs close to the site. Nature lovers will enjoy the RSPB nature reserve at Arne or swimming the Snorkelling Trail at Purbeck Marine Wildlife Reserve in Kimmeridge Bay.
You can enjoy panoramic sea views to the Welsh coast from the Lethbridge family's lovely farm site at Damage Barton. Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty it will delight families, walkers, birdwatchers, and wildflower enthusiasts, while being a great base to explore North Devon and Exmoor. The site is perfect for beach lovers and is within three miles of three beautiful beaches: Woolacombe (2 miles away), Barricane, famous for its shells (2 miles away) and Lee Bay (2.5 miles away). A little further afield is the seaside town of Ilfracombe (6 miles away).
Overlooking Start Bay on the beautiful South Hams coast, our lovely Club Site at Dartmouth is just 2 miles from the town after which it's named. It is also just a mile from the spectacular crescent-shaped bay of Blackpool Sands, one of the many great beaches in the South Hams. Others worth visiting are Slapton Sands and Torcross (both 6 miles away). Dartmouth itself is an attractive harbour town with narrow streets, boutique shops and a cobbled marketplace. Cross the river Dart to the pretty village of Kingswear where you can board the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway to visit a host of other seaside towns along the Torbay coast.
Our Club Site at Lynton is beautifully located right above the Exmoor coast, with panoramic views across to Wales from many pitches and plenty of coastal walks nearby. The area is a walker's paradise with a footpath from the site leading through a woodland valley to the pebble coastline and the town of Lynton 1 mile away, offering spectacular views and the chance to spot dolphins at Lee Bay. If sandy beaches are more your preference then Coombe Martin (13 miles away), Ilfracombe (17 miles away) and Woolacombe (20 miles away) can all be easily reached by car.
Close to the beautiful sandy beaches of the Exmoor Heritage Coast, our Club Site at Minehead has wonderful sea views. The site is a mile and a half from Minehead town, Somerset's largest seaside resort, which has a long sandy beach and a variety of shops and restaurants. Minehead has a station on the West Somerset Steam Railway, which travels through 20 miles of stunning coastal and countryside scenery, allowing access to many other seaside towns. In addition, Minehead is the starting point for the South West Coast Path, that travels 630 miles around the coast to Poole.
Our Club Site at Sennen Cove on the Land's End Peninsula is just 20 minutes from the beach and within easy reach of both the north and south Cornish coasts. At Sennen Cove, which is on Whitesand Bay, you can learn to surf at one of the surf schools. Sennen Cove receives regular visits from migrating birds, so is popular with birdwatchers. There is a bus that passes the campsite entrance that will take you to St Ives or Land's End, both of which offer a variety of scenery and activities for all the family.
Slapton Sands is perfect for a family holiday, with lovely sea views and a number of beaches – both shingle and sand – within walking distance. The shingle beach at Slapton Sands is the nearest to the site and separates the sea from Slapton Ley, a freshwater lagoon, in a National Nature Reserve. There are sandy beaches on either side, as well as further afield on the South Devon Heritage Coast, including Blackpool Sands. Dartmouth is only 8 miles along the coast where you can go crabbing, take a boat trip or ride the Paignton and Dartmouth Steam Railway.
Our Club Site at Tregurrian is perfectly located on the north coast of Cornwall and is a great place for water sports lovers as well as those who want to relax on the sandy beaches or visit places of interest. The coastal area is surrounded by natural beauty, and the south west coastal path is easily accessible from the site. There are 14 beautiful beaches within 6 miles of the campsite, the nearest being Watergate Bay just 10 minute walk away. The beach is perfect for families and is also home to the Extreme Academy, which is the place to go if you want to try surfing, kite-surfing and other water sports.
You can enjoy the south coast of Cornwall from our wonderful Club Site at Veryan, which has superb views. The site is just one and a half miles from a coastal footpath and two miles from Pendower beach, which has low soft cliffs and rock pools that are designated Sights of Special Scientific Interest. There is also a shingle beach at the attractive fishing village of Portloe. The seaside town of Falmouth can be accessed by foot ferry from St Mawes or by car on the King Harry Ferry.
Our Club Site is only a few miles from the popular Victorian seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare, which has a refurbished Grand Pier containing a variety of rides and attractions for all the family. The seafront also has a 40-metre high observation wheel that offers views across the bay and towards the Mendip Hills, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The town has miles of sandy beaches with beachside shops and cafes, trampolines and donkey rides, as well as facilities for kite-surfing and watersports.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered these for our engagement party and are really happy with how they turned out. After we ordered, we were sent an email to proof read everything and with a suggestion to change the wording of the date- which I thought was really helpful. The cards arrived on time and look great, we went with a slightly upgraded paper quality (which I would recommend) but everything was just the way we wanted. We're now ordering our save the dates the same way!"
"I was so impressed with my invites when I received them in the mail recently. Buying anything over the net you always run the risk that they won't look very nice or be very good quality when they arrive. But this was not the case with these. They looked exactly the same if not better. The colours are great, printing fantastic and the stationery is exceptional quality. I only went the standard card stock but it was very thick and generous. I went for a scalloped edge which made these invites look even cuter. A perfect match for my engagement party styling. Love them! I ordered them online one week and received them the next. Very fast delivery!"
"Great deal, invitations were beautiful, quick delivery ! Only problem was that the envelopes were too big for the invitation, which was not a big deal but the envelopes would bend."
"My invitations arrived on the expected day (international postage) and are just perfect! I got the sparkly paper with rounded corners and they look amazing - I have never seen invitations like them. The colours are incredible! I changed the colour of our names and "engagement" to match the teal colour and they look great! We also ordered the matching thank-you cards which are fantastic as well! Can't wait to choose our wedding invitations next!!"
"My fiance and I used this design for our engagement party. The quality of the card was above and beyond what we had expected! The paper was lovely and surprisingly thick (which was perfect, it didn't bend or tear easily), and the printing looked exactly as it did on the website. We accidentally ordered too many, so we called WPD's customer service line. They were INCREDIBLE. Someone was on the line with us within a minute and was friendly, helpful, and fixed the problem immediately without any difficulty. We will be using WPD for all of our future wedding needs because the experience has been nothing but fabulous."

Jill 2011
mould plywood chair with different bases
Jill is Alfredo Häberli's formal homage to that time, but with Vitra, he moves the aesthetic forward to today, incorporating the state of the art in plywood technology in an organically shaped seat shell. In a patented process, Jill's veneers are curved until they meet in the middle of the seat. This creates a flexible shell featuring an open transition from the seat to the back, with the thickness of its veneer tapering towards the top of the chair. Two infinite lines, one interior and one exterior, permeate and surround one surface, thus creating a sculptural form that follows the contours of the body, and, thanks to its high degree of flexibility, accommodates it with amazing seating comfort.
The bases for Jill – made of tubular steel, wire, aluminium and wood – are also partially derived from historic prototypes and impart to the chair a decisively contemporary design – particularly in its powerfully expressive colouring, which is colour-matched to complement the fabric covers.

Nothing brightens up your work day like a box of warm, gooey cookies delivered right to you. Order a bunch of chocolate chip, snicker doodle, and m&m chip cookies to win friends and influence people in your office :)
It's criminal, really. Tiff's Treats is currently conducting a rampant affair with butter right under our noses -- and into our mouths. Oh, and by the way? This cookie bakery DELIVERS. Order a box of Oatmeal Raisin: you may hate yourself the next day, but your taste buds will love you right now.
Love this place!! Cookies are always AMAZING!! And delivery service is great!
Awesome chocolate chip cookies, but my favorite hands down are the snickerdoodles. If you ever need a gift idea that will make people smile, this is it.
Great snack – Everytime I order Tiff's Treats, I have to let them know to meet me at a secret spot outside my office because if I walk in with that box with the ribbon on it, my co-workers will help themselves to cookies until they are all gone. I have had Tiff's Treats sent to me as a gift when I was at a meeting and when I returned to the office, the box is on my desk, half empty!
Great cookies, my favorite are the oatmeal chocolate chip.
Warm Cookies!!! – Warm cookies were delivered to me this past week from my boyfriend. He is overseas for business for 3 weeks and I had been missing him. I thought it was the sweetest thing he could do for me, being so far away. I had heard of this company before from friends but never understood the buzz until I actually tried one the cookies. The cookies are nice and soft and it comes in a nice little box with a ribbon. Can't wait to order these again with him when he gets back!
Best Service from a small company – I have never had better service from a local company than I have had with Tiff's Treats. On two separate occassions, my receptionist had ordered cookies on my behalf but had typed in the wrong address. Tiff's Treats' staff called back each time while the driver was already at the incorrect place to get the correct address and reroute the delivery to the proper place. They are always courteous when I call and really do deliver the best warm cookies, better than my mom used to make!
Ridiculously Deliciously Great – I order these for work in Dallas and as client gifts to my clients in Austin about once a week for the past year. I have never had better service from any company I have ever dealt with. They once redelivered an order out for free because my client unexpectantly went home sick earlier that day. The cookies arrive warm and delicious in a cute little box with a ribbon. Try this just one time you will be hooked for life!
tasty, tasty delivery cookies and brownies – I've been the lucky recipient of a Tiff's Treats basket a couple of times and the cookies are quite tasty. I've had several different varieties and all are great. The brownies are also good, but I like the cookies better. They deliver on time and the cookies are invariably still warm. I've also sent them a few times and they are a great value and much more appreciated than flowers.
Cookies! – I don't know many places that i can order such great tasting cookies in Austin. Sure there are cookie stores in the mall, but none compare to this! If you dont know what flavor to try, try them all! The only thing I can recommend to anyone that gets cookies from here is to order them FRESH. It may take awhile, but the wait is definitely worth it! I give Tiff Treats two thumbs and two big toes up (sure that was corny, but the cookies are still good!)
Melt in your mouth – I started working in the downtown area and got hooked. I order from them at least once a week, and then I just make trips every other day. The sugar is my favorite, but all of them are really good. I recommend ordering milk with the cookies. They are really great with deliveries for birthdays as well.
Awesome Cookies – My friend received this cookies as a gift from her boyfriend and they are awesome! They are soft and served warm.

McMinnville man injured in crash
Dec 4, 2013 | 1 Comment
News-Register Staff
ALBANY — A McMinnville man was injured in a two-vehicle crash Tuesday morning west of Albany at the intersection of Highway 20 and Independence Highway in Benton County.
The Oregon State Police gave this account:
Tomas A Garza, 42, of McMinnville, was driving a 2004 Honda Civic southbound on Independence Highway. After approaching a stop sign at the intersection, he attempted to turn left onto Highway 20, and his car was struck on the driver's side by a 2000 Subaru station wagon driven by Ethan Glaser, 25, of Albany.
Garza had to be extricated by Albany Fire Department personnel. He was transported by ambulance to Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. He is reported in serious condition.
Cindy Wood of McMinnville posted on her Facebook page that Garza sustained multiple fractures and will undergo surgery today at a Portland hospital. She said he faces a long period of recovery.
Glaser was not injured.
Garza was cited for fail to obey a traffic control device.
Both drivers were wearing seat belts and the air bags in their vehicles deployed.
Highway 20 was closed for about 50 minutes while the crash was investigated and the scene cleared.

I worked at Rent-A-Center full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Great pay, Good Benefits, stock options for District Managers and above, lots of opportunity for advancement if your willing too move.
Cons – Long hours, 5 1/2 day work week for District Managers and above.
Advice to Senior Management – Get rid of the 5 1/2 day work week, require DM's and above to work more during the week, 7am to 6pm and they would happily do that then work even an hour on Saturdays. Work/Life balance.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

When pulling longer nails such as framing nails or spikes, a standard sized hammer won't have the proper fulcrum length to pull the nail completely out and you may not have access to a cat's paw. But you can still remove a nail in one motion by inserting a block of wood beneath the head which raises the fulcrum point and allows the hammer to work more effectively and pull a nail straight out. We like to use a basic wooden meat tenderizer which has a handle and it is easier to place.
Another tip to protect your walls or flooring when pulling nails is to insert a sponge beneath the head of your hammer before pullilng.
When it's hammer time make sure you do it right.

Thailand - Phuket & Andaman Coast (Chapter)
This is the Phuket & the Andaman Coast chapter from Lonely Planet's Thailand guidebook.
The Andaman is Thailand's turquoise coast, that place on a 'Travel to Paradise' poster that makes you want to leave your job and live in flipflops…forever. White beaches, cathedral-like limestone cliffs, neon corals and hundreds of jungle-covered isles extend down the length of Andaman Sea. The catch is, the destination is no secret and the beaches are becoming more crowded. Flashy resorts are pushing out the bamboo shacks and authenticity now hides in the backroads. But your poster dream is still here – if you're willing to look.

Without more information we cannot know what is "best" for your situation.
I have a 150 ft well with a submersible pump. My pitless adapter is allowing surface water to trickle in. I am going to replace it as it is several decades old. I was wondering if there is an obvious "best" adapter available or if several companies make (sell) them. Thanks for your help.
Without more information we cannot know what is "best" for your situation.
What type of pitless do you have now? There are several different types and configurations. How about a picture?
I'd be suprised if you pitless actually leaks surface water, maybe a leak in the o'ring so maybe leaking well water back down the well. If it leaks it basically means that whoever put it in did a really shotty job. You'll probably have to weld on a patch where it currently is. As far as pitless adpaters go, i really dont have a preference, usually get the cheapest.

Chef Daniel LindleyChef Daniel Lindley Photo by Lesha Patterson
Chef Daniel Lindley
Every spring the fooderati gather for the Academy Awards of the food world, the James Beard Awards. This year's list of nominees include celebrity chefs such as Michael Chiarello, Wylie Dufresne, Hugh Acheson and Chris Consentino, but Chattanooga's eyes were on the "Best Chef: Southeast" category where Daniel Lindley, chef and owner of St. John's Restaurant, St John's Meeting Place and Alleia Restaurant, received his third nomination. While he did not advance to the finals, Lindley handles his nomination with classic Southern politeness and modesty. It is a huge honor not just for him, but for Chattanooga as well. ¶ When I first met Lindley, he emerged from the kitchen with a genuine but tired smile, his blond hair and black chef's jacket beginning to show signs of a chef at work. His demeanor is casual yet collected and he is comfortable but passionate when he talks about his work and the dishes he creates. As I spoke to him about his background, the Chattanooga food scene and the upcoming James Beard Awards, I immediately sensed that this is a chef who is on his game and couldn't be happier.
"Cookery is not chemistry. It is an art. It requires instinct and taste rather than exact measurements."
—Marcel Boulestin
To capture the attention of the James Beard Foundation requires both an artist's eye and a well-developed palette. From a very young age Lindley had an interest in painting, drawing and music, but it was a humble grilled cheese sandwich that set him upon a different path.
"Grilled cheese was the first thing I made as a teenager," Lindley says. "I loved them and I tried to make them better every time, slipping some pepperoni or garlic salt in there."
After graduating high school, Lindley worked in some of Chattanooga's best-known eateries, washing dishes at the Back Inn Café and working as a baker at Southside Grill in the mid 1990s. He had intended to go to art school, but by then the kitchen had sealed his fate. The culinary sirens played their seductive song and the 20-year-old took his artist's eye to the highly competitive world of New York restaurants.
Lindley initially moved to Westchester County, N.Y., with a friend and worked for Chef Terry Harwood at the beautiful Harvest on Hudson restaurant on the banks of the Hudson River. In 1998, he landed an enviable position working under Tom Colicchio at the legendary Gramercy Tavern, then spent a season cooking in the Hamptons on Shelter Island before returning home to Chattanooga for the opening of St. John's Restaurant in 2000.
While he has great respect for what a culinary education can do, Lindley didn't attend culinary school. "When I moved to New York, I thought I might, but I ended up at some great restaurants," he says. "It's one of the few occupations that you don't have to have a piece of paper to practice."
Just take one part natural talent, one part hard work, add a touch of opportunity and you have a recipe for a James Beard Award nominee. If only it were that easy—this year alone there were a record setting 57,000 nominations for the coveted prize.
The James Beard Foundation Awards were created to honor the highest levels of achievement within the food world. Naturally, the process is done as furtively as possible, but there are essentially four steps to becoming a James beard winner.
Nominees are first recommended by a respected food critic. A group chosen by the foundation then visits the restaurant to evaluate the food, service and presentation. Five finalists are selected in each of the 20 categories by a panel of restaurant critics, food and wine editors, and previous award winners. From those five finalists the winners are chosen and announced during an elaborate ceremony, complete with celebrities, paparazzi and a green carpet walk. This year's awards take place May 7 in New York City's Lincoln Center and are being hosted by the ubiquitous Alton Brown of Food Network fame.

Meeting industry suppliers are embracing the religious market like never before, according to Warren Breaux, vice president of marketing at Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, Nashville, Tenn.
"Hotels are courting religious meetings because they represent long-term, consistent business," Breaux said in a panel discussion at the close of the Religious Conference Management Association's 31st World Conference and Exposition, held January 28 to 31 in Charlotte, N.C. Religious meetings aren't canceled when times are tough, he added.
Linda de Leon, CMP, also a panelist and a meeting planner with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, stressed that "we will continue to meet" and hold religious meetings, no matter what. "Our faith will see us through difficult times, because we know who holds the future," said de Leon, the recipient of RCMA's President's Award for 2003.
The panel's third member, Robert F. Bedell, president and CEO of the Indianapolis CVB, said the challenging economic times are forcing CVBs to carefully evaluate and reinvent themselves. "CVBs are going to have to change," he said. "The tough economic times have been beneficial in a strange way to CVBs—they're helping others understand what CVBs do."
Educational offerings during the four-day conference included RCMA's Behind-the-Scenes Experiences, which give religious meeting planners the chance to learn about the inner workings of convention centers and hotels.
RCMA announced that its 2006 conference will be held in San Jose, Calif. It will be RCMA's first meeting in California since 1987, when it met in Long Beach. RCMA will meet in Pittsburgh in 2004, and St. Louis in 2005.
Also during the Charlotte conference, four meeting planners were selected to serve three-year terms on the RCMA Board of Directors: Stella Beene-Vinson, meeting planner/travel coordinator for The United Methodist Church's Section of Chaplains and Related Ministries, Nashville, Tenn.; Jim Cullumber, vice president of communications for the Christian Church Foundation, Indianapolis; Donald Ehler, annual conference coordinator for the Conservative Christian Conference, Hillsboro, Wis.; and Melvin L. Worthington, CMP, meeting planner for the International Association of Free Will Baptists.

The Fiscal Cliff Averted (for Now)
Round Two of the Fight Approaches
As the year began, President Obama engaged with leaders in the House and Senate to come up with a plan that nearly all senators and a majority of congressional representatives were able to agree to. By working together, they implemented permanent and temporary changes to tax rates, allowing many middle- and lower-income Americans to be able to continue to pay the lower tax rates they have been paying since the inception of the Bush tax cuts. They further avoided the fiscal cliff by pushing back the implementation of mandatory spending cuts until March. Congress' actions have prevented the initial collision of tax hikes and spending cuts that created the fiscal cliff, but the war over the U.S. deficit and budget is still being waged in the halls of Congress.
The tax deal that was passed addressed the income half of the debate. The tax brackets that were implemented under President George W. Bush were made permanent, save for the income brackets beginning at $400,000 for single filers or $450,000 for joint filers. For these high-income earners, tax rates were raised to Clinton-era levels. The increase in tax rates was a victory for both parties.
The deal also addressed many other tax issues, most of which affect high-income earners. Tax rates for capital gains and dividends were raised from 15 percent to 20 percent for high-income earners; previous capital gains and dividend rates remain the same for everyone with taxable income less than $400,000/450,000. Both the personal exemptions phaseout, which involves the exemptions that are allowed, and itemized deduction limits will apply to upper-income earners, with the phaseouts and itemized deduction limitations beginning at $250,000/$300,000.
Even though only the highest tax bracket have seen an increase, all wage earners have seen a reduction in take-home pay beginning with the first paychecks of 2013 due to the expiration of the payroll tax holiday. This deal did not raise payroll taxes but, by allowing the holiday to expire, wage earners are now paying the rates they were paying in 2010. The increase is felt by workers seeing a return to 6.2 percent of income being paid to the fund, instead of 4.2 percent. For the average U.S. wage earner, this change amounts to an additional $1,000 every year.
As a further show of support to low- and middle-wage earners, many tax credits that were due to expire have been temporarily extended, including the Child Care Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and the American Opportunity Tax Credit. The Child Tax Credit was permanently set at the increased level of $1,000 per child, with the refundable portion extended until 2017. The alternative minimum tax (AMT) was permanently adjusted for inflation, without which more than 30 million taxpayers would have been paying more in taxes. The federal unemployment benefits will also be extended, giving millions of long-term unemployed individuals continued assistance while they look for work in the current economic climate.
Rather than finalize a single deal that addressed all the components of the fiscal cliff, Congress chose to push back the mandatory budget cuts to March, giving them additional time to come up with a better solution to the deficit. But this new deadline will correspond with the need to increase the debt ceiling in February. If Congress does not address the Budget Control Act by the end of March, the cuts that would cause a devastating reduction to many social programs will go into effect.
Programs and services related to the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) will not close because it was not reauthorized, but they are certainly threatened because budget crises at the local, state and national levels are always looming. While the deal on the fiscal cliff delayed harmful across-the-board cuts to the federal programs until early March, our analysis shows nearly 200,000 victims of violence would lose services if another agreement were not made.
Given the toxic partisan environment, reaching agreement on the budget will not be easy. The president is taking a proactive approach to addressing both possible budget cuts and the debt ceiling debate. He has stated that raising the debt ceiling is imperative, and the White House will not entertain any negotiations that prevent the United States from meeting all of its obligations.
Republican leadership has vowed that they will not accept any deal that does not abide by the Boehner rule: a cut in spending by a dollar for every dollar increase in the debt ceiling. With the two sides sitting at opposite ends of the table, both claiming to have the support of the American people, it is important for every representative to hear from his or her constituents about what truly is important.
The country has passed a major hurdle for now, but the spending cliff will still need to be discussed for longer-term solutions. If you live in a state where your congressional representatives chose to not vote for the measure, write and express your hope for future bipartisan collaboration in the face of budget talks.
Fiscal Cliff #2: What's at Stake?
- The cost of continuing favorable tax treatment of hedge fund managers OR the cost of avoiding sequestration-level cuts for housing vouchers and Women, Infants and Children (WIC). Savings: $21 billion over 10 years.
- Two V-22 Osprey helicopters OR provide low-cost childcare to 22,000 children. Cost: $156 million.
- Reduce the corporate tax rate to 28 percent OR preserve refundable tax credits for 13 million families nationwide.
Action: What can you do?
On Meet the Press on December 2, 2012, Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri noted that the fiscal cliff decisions must address all "three legs of the stool—Entitlements, Cuts, and Revenues—in a way that makes sense … and there has to be money in all legs of the stool." How and where would you allocate money in each leg of the stool to reach a compromise and fix America's financial health?
- Convene a discussion, and write a letter to your congressional representative outlining your views on what can and cannot be bargained.
- Let your congressional representative know you support efforts to make sure that any budget deal made will not create more poverty or income inequality in America.
- H.R. 6411: Inclusive Prosperity Act: We could save more than $110 billion just by eliminating wasteful subsidies to oil and gas companies. The Inclusive Prosperity Act would raise hundreds of billions of dollars just by taxing Wall Street trades by a fraction of 1 percent. Please call your congressional representative and ask him or her to support H.R. 6411.
- Read Resolution 4111, "Enabling Support for Domestic Programs," in United States Economic Issues (pp. 610–617) and Paragraph 163, Part IV. The Economic Community, "The Social Principles" (p. 535), of The Book of Resolutions of The United Methodist Church, 2008, for guidance and calls to action on elections and politics.

Now he finds himself nearing forty, alone and adrift. In the apartment below is Hope, a young American woman, isolated in a lonely city. When they finally meet in the elevator of the building they share, what transpires is "an essential love story for our confused and difficult times."(Gary Shteyngart, author of Absurdistan)
