Tank Level Indication
Monitoring tank levels continuously and remotely using hydrostatic pressure represents one of the most proven and reliable methods you can employ. Well suited to a variety of applications, pressure transmitters can provide simple and accurate means for measuring liquid level in storage or processing tanks.
Inventory Monitor/Process Control
Inventory tank gauging (as opposed to simple level measurement) affords a higher degree of accuracy and consistency for reporting. Here the flexibility to monitor both volume and weight of material satisfies the needs of processing and accounting. Our product offerings simplify the task of integrating data throughout your operation via network interface to PLCs, HMIs, and enterprise systems.
Hazard/Explosion Zone
It can be challenging and costly to install equipment in hazardous/explosion zone environments. Fortunately, there are effective solutions that employ inherently safe pneumatic components within these critical areas. We offer proven, reliable liquid level tank sensors that do no require electronic components at the tank and transmit a pneumatic output signal.
Ballast Monitoring
A critical application for most vessels and semi-submersible drill rigs is ballast water monitoring. Our LiquiSeal and Purge Control bubbler systems are a proven technology for marine tank gauging for both ballast and draft measurement. Our hydrostatic pressure measurement simply requires a length of pipe extending downward within the tank — no internal components whose periodic recalibration or failure could necessitate personnel entering the tank (or compartment).

text: "The Worst Book Ever" by Elise Gravel is, in fact, the worst book ever ... in the best way possible. Too many authors are trying to write the story of Prinse Putrick and Prinsess Barbarotte and they all have different ideas of how they want the story to end. Their arguments and rewrites lead to scene changes, misspelled words, plot holes, and fart jokes. Add in an inappropriately screaming monster, and you most definitely have the worst book ever.

Comparing the paradoxical complementation of Araki's sensual work with theart of rope knots is the conceptual core of Twisted. Our house signature Siam gold is hand-woven into delicate rope; subtly combined with mother of pearl seashell inlays, soft tones of tsavorites, and diamond briolette. Evoking a sense of survival, pieces from Twisted express the transformative relationship between manmade utilitarian objects, and the soft complexity of mother earth.
Ginkgo Metrics
Ginkgo Metrics explores the tension and fusion of two contrasting concepts, a juxtaposition of beauty in undisturbed natural life forms contrasted with the restrictions and severity of geometry. Crafted using 18k Siam Gold, the collection features bold geometrical shapes with a subtle use of precious stones in pave setting; imperfect linear patterns from a Ginkgo Leaf treasured from a trip to Japan are hand embedded onto Siam Gold to achieve the most honest imprint, capturing a certain memory of a place and time.
Curved, coiled, globular orbs of boldness beauty with a hint of mischief, the collections unique shapes are derived from an imaginary union between a tulip and a poisonous mushroom, both natural life forms encountered during a trip to Amsterdam. Unlike the smooth surface of an ordinary mushroom or tulip, the Tushroom collection explores textural elements and embraces our signature hand imprinted Antré texture, dimpled surfaces inspired by local limestone stalactites.
Crafted in pure Siam Gold, the Tushroom collections texture is simultaneously jagged yet smooth, flecked with natural imperfections by the process of hand molding, every piece of the Tushroom collection is unique.
Tiny is an ode to the designer's love for intricate details, the Tiny Collection features 0.5cm charms handcrafted from solid 18k Siam Yellow Gold.
Taking inspiration from the Animal Kingdom to celebrate the beginning of the Lunar New Year, the Tiny Collection features twelve animals on the Lunar calendar.
'Coexistence' is an ode to the beginning of Patcharavipa and the place of its birth, Amphawa. Famed for its floating market, this hidden gem manifests the nostalgic air of old Siam. It is a place where the designer's grandparents found love and began their life long journey selling fabric from their long tail boats.
'Coexistence' expands the designer's experimental use of materials by marrying rare traditional coconut shells found only in Amphawa left entirely in their organic form with precious metals and stones to create bold distinctive wearable art pieces. True art embraces the imperfect finding unexpected beauty in even simple natural forms, and when unrelated elements unite, they create entirely new meaning.

top of the 9th inning starts; Sox are down 0-2:
[Twins pitcher Joe] Nathan than quickly retired pinch-hitter Mark Kotsay on a swinging strikeout to start the ninth and then induced Scott Podsednik's routine fly ball to left fielder Denard Span for out No. 2. Nathan jumped ahead on Gordon Beckham with two quick strikes, needing one more swing to send the White Sox to their sixth straight loss. But the rookie phenom worked the count full and then launched a 3-2 pitch into the left-field stands for his 10th home run and a 2-1 deficit. … Beckham's blast was a nice moment for the White Sox, but they still were one out away from falling 4 1/2 games behind the Twins for second. Once again, Nathan brought the game within its final strike, but Konerko drove out his own full-count offering for home run No. 24. Konerko's long ball was more of a high fly, and Span looked as if he had his jump timed to take away the game-tying run. It would have been a fitting ending for the White Sox in the Metrodome, but instead, it landed about four rows beyond Span's outstretched glove.
After that Nathan walked Jermaine Dye and Carlos Quentin and was replaced by Matt Guerrier. The next batter was Alexei Ramirez who singled:
His single to left on an 0-2 pitch scored pinch-runner Dewayne Wise when Span's throw short-hopped catcher Mike Redmond. A good throw would have had Wise by a few feet. But it was an aggressive send by third-base coach Jeff Cox in a venue where the White Sox literally had nothing to lose.
Next, Carlos Quentin scored an insurance-run on a wild pitch, Bobby Jenks worked a scoreless 1-2-single-4 bottom of the 9th and the Sox had their first win in the Metrodome in a game the Twins lead by 2 runs in the 9th inning. Seems the Sox figure it in their last Metrodome game. The Sox finished with a 89-114 record at the Metrodome after it opened in 1982.
A couple quotes from the Sox after the jump.
"We own this place," Konerko quipped while flipping his cap to a clubhouse attendant after the Sox scored four runs with two outs, two strikes and the bases empty in the ninth inning to forge a 4-2 victory over Minnesota in their final game at the Metrodome.
Next season, the Twins move into Target Field, an outdoor stadium. Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, who despises the Metrodome more than most, was rattling off jokes afterward. "I didn't know that the clubhouse has such a nice sound system," Guillen said. "That's the first time I've (heard music) in 7-10 years. "How crazy is this thing?" Guillen continued. "We figure out how to win in this place, and now we can't come here anymore."

VATICAN CITY — Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, who died Friday, was an eminent biblical scholar and former archbishop of Milan. As portrayed in the media, he was also the hierarchy's most prominent liberal on a number of questions, including the church's teaching on human sexuality. That reputation was reinforced over the weekend when the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera published the cardinal's last interview, making headlines around the world (including here and here).
In the interview, granted less than a month before his death, the cardinal lamented that the church was "200 years behind" the times, with an "aged" culture enervated by its material wealth in Europe and America, and attached to "pompous" rites and externals, while suffering a lack of vocations and of "heroes" such as the late Archbishop Oscar Romero of San Salvador.
Asked what the church could do to overcome these problems, Cardinal Martini recommended that Pope Benedict make unconventional appointments — "men close to the poorest people and surrounded by young people and who experience new things" — to key leadership posts in the Vatican.
The cardinal also said that the clerical sex abuse scandal should lead the pope and the hierarchy to take up a "radical path of change," including rethinking unspecified elements of the church's teaching on sexual morality, which the cardinal suggested now falls largely on deaf ears. He stressed the importance of ordinary Catholics knowing the Bible. And he argued for relaxing strictures against divorced and remarried persons receiving the Eucharist.
Catholics will differ over whether Cardinal Martini's thinking on such matters was ahead of its time or representative of an era that has passed. But as attested by the tributes of the last few days — from Pope Benedict and other dignitaries, as well the ordinary mourners who filed past the cardinal's body at the rate of 6,000 an hour — Cardinal Martini was a figure who commanded love and respect that transcended disagreements over even the most contentious issues.

The Cabinet Making Process: One Project at a Time.
In order to ensure consistency across an entire cabinet making project, and minimize product handling, KraftMaid requires that all cabinets for a complete order are built on the same line where they are assembled, packaged and loaded for shipping. It's called our One Kitchen at a Time approach, or, KAAT for short.
Each piece of a cabinetry order begins in KraftMaid's Customer Service Department where thousands of orders are processed every day. Once processed, your order immediately explodes into more than 250 cabinet making departments that contribute to the completed product.
DuraKraft Finishing Process
- All KraftMaid wood doors and drawer fronts receive KraftMaid's DuraKraft furniture finishing process, resulting in one of the finest finishes available in the industry.
- First, door and drawer front surfaces are machine and hand sanded and then vacuumed to eliminate all dust particles in preparation for staining.
- Special stains are applied to balance the base color of the wood to establish a consistent color uniformity.
- Next, deep penetrating stain is hand-sprayed and hand-rubbed to reveal the hidden beauty of the grain.
- Doors and drawer fronts are then air-dried before receiving distressing or glazing for some specialty finishes.
- KraftMaid's specially formulated wood sealer is applied with pressure and is then oven-cured.
- Again, all surfaces are hand-sanded, providing a smooth consistent surface to prepare for a stain topcoat.
- Environmentally safe, exclusive DuraKraft topcoat is applied to the surface. The DuraKraft topcoat is a custom, oven-baked finish that extends the original color and clarity of the wood while standing up to everyday wear and tear.
- Finished doors and drawer fronts are then staged for transportation to the assembly line to meet up with cabinet components.
A Speedy Sendoff
After being inspected by a certified KraftMaid professional at the end of the cabinet building process, the finished order is boxed with specialty packaging to prevent damage. The order is then loaded onto the truck for delivery. When it comes to building kitchen cabinets, or cabinetry for any room in your house, we have one of the shortest manufacturing turnarounds in the built-to-order cabinetry industry. Usually, your cabinetry will require about four weeks from order to delivery. However, time length varies based on geographic location and peak order times.
Customers can conveniently track their order every step of the way by visiting our online order tracking system, using our Contact Us page, or by calling us directly at 1-888-562-7744.

The animation is beautiful, the story is incredible and the vocal acting is just right.
"How To Train Your Dragon" wasn't a movie that I really felt would appeal to me. Maybe it was the content or maybe it was the title, I just didn't know and I couldn't wrap my head around seeing it. When I was contacted to do an interview with one of the animators and to preview this film, it piqued my interest ever so slightly.
Upon talking to Hamilton Lewis, a Kansas boy now working for Dreamworks, my interest for the film started to grow. His passion about the work that he and the crew put into this film became infectious. Not only did he make me curious to see the end result, he also took me into the inside of what goes on in developing animated films such as this.
A few days passed and then it was off to Kansas City for preview night. As I walked into the theater with my trusted companion Nate Rice, I noticed more and more children waiting in line for the doors to open. They had this look of glee on their faces as they waited. I was interested to hear their reactions. Would they love it? Would they be bored? Their reactions would help color my review.
So there I was sitting in a theater surrounded by kids and adults of all ages. I donned my 3-D glasses and waited. Usually at screenings my anticipation starts to amp up as the minutes tick by. With "How To Train Your Dragon," my anticipation was to be fed by my surroundings.
As a young child behind me asked his father, "Can I put on my glasses yet?" I smiled and got ready for the ride and what a ride it was.
From the very first moments, I was hooked.
It begins with the Vikings fighting off an assault from the dragon horde. Young Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel), the son of the Viking chieftain Stoick the Vast (voiced by Gerard Butler), sets out to take down the fastest and most terrifying dragon of them all, the allusive Night Fury. No one has been able to catch or destroy one of these marvelous creatures. Armed with his bolas-shooting cannon, he takes aim and connects. Unfortunately no one sees him take out the creature and worse, he has gotten himself surrounded by dragons.
After he is rescued and the dragons depart, his father decides it is time for Hiccup to be included in dragon training with the other teens. Though the highlight of a Viking's life, Hiccup isn't too excited, and neither are the other teens to be teamed with him.
Later, Hiccup happens upon the Night Fury that he brought down with the bolas. Though frightened at first, Hiccup eventually decides against killing the dragon and instead helps him get out of the snare.
As trust builds between Hiccup and the Night Fury, Hiccup begins to realize that everything he has been taught about dragons is wrong and he has to do something about it.
After the film ended, I had a goofy grin on my face. I really had a great time watching this film. To me, it was one of those films that engrosses you so much that time just flies by. To me that is a great sign. Plus it left me wanting more.
I loved this movie because the animation was beautiful, the story was incredible and the vocal acting was just right. Everything just meshed so well in my eyes. Plus I looked around and the kids that surrounded me seemed overjoyed at the results.
Adults, don't be afraid to see this with your kids. There's enough excitement for everyone. It is great for all ages! Enjoy this film, I know I did and I can't wait to see it again with my son so he can enjoy it, too.

The Upcoming Maccabiah Games, the so-called Jewish Olympics, remind us that we Jews are more than artists and scientists; we are also fine athletes. Read on for a list of sporting achievements dating back to the beginning of the modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896.
The Upcoming Maccabiah Games, the so-called Jewish Olympics, remind us that we Jews are more than artists and scientists; we are also fine athletes. After all, Samson was an athlete as was King David, and we think of those heroic Maccabees, for whom these Jewish games are named, as athletes. The term "Jewish jock" is neither a joke nor an oxymoron.
Jews have excelled in all sports, including Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax (baseball); Sid Luckman (football); and Dolph Schayes (basketball). The list is vast. But the focus here is on those who made their mark in the Olympic Games.
The achievements date back to the beginning of the modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. There, Jews won eight of the 43 events that took place. Since then, over more than a century, Jews have won about 200 Olympic gold medals and more than 400 medals overall. In those first games, Alfred and Gustav Flatow, German cousins, won five of the gymnastics events and Hungarian Alfred Hajos-Guttmarm and Paul Neumann of Austria became the first Olympic swimming champions. In 1904, Samuel Berger of the United States became the first Olympic heavyweight boxing champion.
Harold Abrahams, name is unfamiliar until we recall he was the British Olympic sprinter in 1924 made famous by the film Chariots of Fire. Also in 1924 Jackie Fields (aka Jacob Finkelstein) was the youngest Olympic boxer to win a gold medal and Sam Mosberg recorded the fastest knockout in Olympic history. William Bachrach coached USA swimmers to 23 Olympic gold medals during the 1920s, including five for Johnny Weissmuller, who became the quintessential Tarzan of the movies.
In 1928, Fanny Rosenfeld, considered the best all-round female athlete in Canadian history, won gold and silver in track and field. She also won tennis championships and excelled in basketball, softball and ice hockey. A Canadian postage stamp honors her accomplishments.
Fencer Endre Kabos won a total of three golds in Los Angeles in 1932 and Berlin in 1936. Later incarcerated in a Nazi forced labor camp, he escaped, then died fighting with the Hungarian underground and is considered a Hungarian national hero. Gymnast Agnes Kileti was saved from Auschwitz by Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg. Then, because the 1940 and 1944 Games were canceled (due to World War II) and he had an injury at the time of the 1948 games, Kileti did not get to compete until the 1952 Olympics at age 31. Still, she won 10 Olympic medals (five of them gold).
The USA's Henry Wittenberg won 300 consecutive matches as a heavyweight wrestler, including Olympic gold in 1948 and silver in 1952. American featherweight weightlifter Isaac "Ike" Berger, who won one gold in 1956 and silvers in 1960 and '64. He was the first athlete to set a world record in Israel and then became a cantor.
Hungarian Irena Kirszenstein, a track star, won seven Olympic medals, including three golds in the 1960s and '70s and now serves as a member of the International Olympic Committee. Another Hungarian, Idiko Ujlald-Rejto, born profoundly deaf, competed as a fencer in five Olympics, from 1960 to 1976, winning seven medals, including two gold.
More recently, Kerri Strug locked down a gold for the 1996 USA's women's gymnastics team by completing a magnificent final vault despite running with painful torn ligaments in her left ankle. Swimmer Dara Torres competed in six Olympics, winning 12 medals: four within each of the three medal categories.
Many see the most triumphant Jewish Olympic moment as when Ally Raisman, captain of the 2012 gold medal-winning U.S. women's gymnastic team, performed the floor exercise to "Hava Nagila."
While many other Jewish Olympians have come and gone, swimmer Mark Spitz still holds the record, having won seven golds in 1972. All told, he completed his Olympics career with 11 medals, nine of them the gleaming gold.
Herbert Weinberg, a native of Philadelphia who now lives in Colorado, covered 14 Olympic Games, primarily for ABC Radio Sports. For information on his power-point presentation, "The Jewish Olympic Odyssey," email: [email protected]

Our third Charity:Water completion report arrived! Thanks to your support, we were able to fund a school water and sanitation project serving 198 people at the Adishimhafti School in Ethiopia, Africa.
This project provided a waterpoint and latrine block to the Adishimhafti School. Above is a map showing the GPS coordinates of the project pictured (14.39858, 38.85521).
You can find our previous two completion reports below, or check them out on our interactive map:
More than 50 million Ethiopians don't have access to safe water. Most rural families survive on less than five liters of water per day and walk up to four hours to collect it from open sources. 62% of Ethiopians lack clean water, and 88% lack sanitation. Projects like these make a real difference in people's lives, and I'm so happy to be able to be a part of it with you.
PCPartPicker is supported through affiliate commissions from participating retailers. We donate a portion of our earnings to charity. When you purchase components through retailer links on PCPartPicker, you're not only supporting this site - you're also helping provide clean water and sanitation to people in need. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a part of this and helping us make this happen.

text: Im starting to use DevC++ instead of my outdated Borland. My only problem is I can't get the resources to work. It says there is a GUI resource compiler in the documentation of DevC++ but I can't find it. Also my .rc files doesn't seem to be loading. I typed it in MSVC++ style format instead of borland cause I figured that was more of a "standard". Is that correct? How can I get to the resource editor to make sure my file it set up correctly?

Lolo Jones still has yet to win a gold medal in the Olympics, but today, she added a new and extra random addition to her small pile of world championship medals—she now has two golds for 60m hurdles, and one for the combined bobsled-skeleton team event at the Swiss winter world championships. She was the brakewoman (like Sanka Coffie, in Cool Runnings) and helped the U.S. team edge Germany by .24 seconds.
It may not be the harsh rebuke to her various detractors that an Olympic gold medal in hurdling would have provided those many moons ago, but it does make one thing clear: it's not that hard to bobsled, is it? Jones learned how to do it at a world champion level in about three months.

KATHLEEN KUDLINSKI: They are incredible after all - eggs (video)
Editor's note: This column ran a number of years ago, but was requested again by several readers. Eggs seemed to be everywhere this week. Stores offered chocolate eggs, caramel, cream and hollow sugar ones with tiny scenes tucked inside. One candy company makes spring treats with a yellow "yoke" inside a cream "white" wrapped inside a chocolate "shell." It is a marvel of candy engineering, but it can't compare with the real thing.
Eggs are intricate wonders, though we usually don't even notice as we drop them into a skillet in the morning. Our giant hands can crack eggshells easily on the edge of a frypan. Cracking doesn't happen often in nature. Those shells are incredibly strong against more natural dangers. Put a whole egg in your palm with the narrow end toward your fingertips. Make a fist over it and squeeze. Hard. Harder. You probably cannot break the shell at all. Its strength comes from both the substance of the shell and its shape.
Not all eggs are shaped the same. Birds that nest on cliffs lay very pointy eggs. If they roll, these eggs won't fall off the cliff. They roll in tight little circles and come right back home again. Eggs laid into a snug little nest have one end only slightly smaller than the other. That shape makes the best use of space.
Chickadees, woodpeckers and other birds that nest in cavities in trees or birdhouses never worry about their eggs rolling up and falling out of the "front door." Their eggs are almost round. Owl eggs are as round as -- and look like -- Ping-Pong balls.
These cavity-nesters don't have to worry about camouflaging their eggs, either. Their eggs are all white or very pale colors. Birds that nest down on the ground have to lay streaked or splotched eggs, so the helpless nestful is nearly impossible for predators to see. Some eggs are tinted as they are formed inside the mother's body. Other hues, speckles and streaks are actually added as the egg is being laid.
No matter the color, all eggs are built the same inside. Under the porous shell are two thin skins. One of these membranes hugs the inside of the shell. The other surrounds the egg's white. They let necessary air inside, but keep the contents from drying out.
The egg white provides moisture and cushioning to the developing chick. The yolk is its food source. Yokes aren't just floating loose in there. They're tied firmly in place, centered within the shell, by a gooey, twisty cord called the chalaza. That's the thick wad of egg white you can see when you break a raw egg on a plate.
The size of the egg doesn't matter. Hummingbird eggs have the same structures inside as ostrich eggs. Timing doesn't matter, either. Our local nesting owl's eggs are already hatching. Goldfinches won't produce eggs until late July. Every egg is a beautiful system tested and perfected over hundreds of millions of years. Countless eggs will fill uncountable nests this season. Cartons of hen's eggs fill the coolers at grocery stores. These natural wonders are so common it is easy to forget that each one is a miracle.
EMAIL OR WRITEDear Readers, I can't count the number of calls I've had for a collection of my nature essays. So after having 40 of my children's books published, I'm finally doing an "adult" book based on these columns, and I need your help. Email or drop me a note if you have a little time to answer a few questions. (This is called "crowd-sourcing" in today's tech-speak, but to me it feels more like gathering a group of friends.) I'll send you a quick sheet on how to see more animals outdoors, and I'll acknowledge your help by name in the final book. Thanking you in advance.

Sacha Baron Cohen is being sued because his film crew allegedly roughed up a cameraman during the shooting of the gay marriage rally in the film, "Bruno," reports the Associated Press.
Mike Skiff, a self-described gay jounralist, is seeking $25,000 in damages from the comedian for physical pain and suffering.
In the lawsuit, he claims that he was shoved around, pulled and threatened with signs while filming Baron Cohen in character as the gay fashion journalist, Bruno.
Video from Third Rail Media, Skiff's company, showed an alteraction in which Skiff is seen being pulled away from Baron Cohen before police stepped in to halt it.
This is not the first legal action to spin out of "Bruno." In June 2009, Richelle Olson sued Baron Cohen, claiming that he caused her to suffed a brain injury when she fell during a scuffle at a charity bingo tournament in California.
In December of last year, a Palestinian shopkeeper sued for libel and slander after he was portrayed as a terrorist. He is seeking $110 million and the case is pending in a Washington, D.C. court.

Burlington leaders on Tuesday adopted a public rights-of-way management ordinance and a utility pavement cut policy to establish clear processes by which various entities apply for and execute access to the public right-of-way, and fee standards intended to mitigate the long-term pavement degradation caused by utility installation.
That ordinance, in turn, provides the framework for the city to enter into an agreement with TW Telecom of North Carolina for the installation of 2,100 feet of underground fiber optic communication line, also approved during Tuesday night�s meeting.
Prior to the new rights-of-way management ordinance, any entity other than those with city franchises � such as Duke Energy and AT&T � had to request Encroachment Agreements from the City Council each time telecommunication providers wanted to extend their services and work in the right-of-way, which proved inefficient.
�That took time to get on the agenda,� City Engineer Lanny Rhew said.
Under the new ordinance, there�s still an Encroachment Agreement, in addition to two other types of agreements, and the new version of the former is more long-term and allows staff to approve extensions to the original agreements the City Council approved, Rhew said.
The new Encroachment Agreement is exclusively between Burlington and applicants for use of the right-of-way, and not sublease the infrastructure, for 20 years.
The two other agreements are the Franchise Agreement, which is a 60-year agreement between the city and electric, natural gas and local telephone carriers, and the Right-of-Way Use Agreement, which is a 10-year agreement between the city and providers like telecommunications services and cable television.
The latter is the type of agreement the city entered into with TW Telecom on Tuesday, which grants the telecommunications provider access to the right-of-way for infrastructure installations for 10 years.
TW Telecom, like any other entities installing in the public right-of-way, will be required to pay an Excavation Permit fee, which will include both the $75 application fee and potentially a Pavement Degradation Fee � which helps the city recover the costs related to the loss of a pavement�s useful life expectancy, which is affected any time asphalt or concrete pavement is cut to install utilities.
As part of the excavation process, providers also will be required to file bond and general liability insurance with the city, to cover the repair or replacement of city streets, sidewalks or other public infrastructures.

Today is the second day that we woke up to it snowing. Yesterday, at some points it looked more like the middle of February rather than the middle of April. Literally, it was snowing so hard you couldn't see and the snow was accumulating — the grass was covered as were all the lawn furniture and flower beds. Mother Nature is either a bit backwards this year or she has a really weird sense of humor. Perhaps she is just in perpetual April Fool's mode this month. Either way, not much seeing the humor in it.
My poor seedlings might never see the light of the outdoors if this keeps up – might as well turn the sun room into the garden this year. The wood stove is still blasting away here. If you didn't look at the calendar you might not believe that it is in fact April. Oh, don't get me wrong, we've had April snowstorms — real storms where we wound up with inches if not a foot or more of snow — but after a very mild and snow-free winter for the most part it really is very anti-climatic. We are ready for the nice weather, we are ready for the shades of color that come along with spring — we are not ready or happy about waking up to snow showers instead of rain showers.

With so many rumours flying around it was only a matter of time before we saw some mock-ups of what the iPad mini might look like. We repeat, what it "might" look like.
The chaps at 9to5mac have gathered up what murmurs and whispers there have been and created a render that looks far more iPod-esque than iPad.
For example, the borders on the left and right side of the device when held in a portrait position are much thinner than the current iPad.
While this, of course, will enable Apple to reduce the size of the device without compromising the display, it could lead to problems when holding the tablet vertically with accidental brushes of the touchscreen. As 9to5mac speculates, could Apple somehow implement a reduced sensitivity on the edge of the screen?
Other mock ups show an iPad mini without a front-facing camera. With the likes of the Google Nexus retailing for £199, Apple will be looking at keeping the cost down. Omitting a feature like a front-facing camera could help do this, but with the likes of FaceTime being such a prominent Apple feature we think it's highly unlikely.
It's all speculation, of course, of a device that hasn't even been announced officially, but these mock-ups have certainly got us pondering.
Do you like the look of these mock-ups? Do you think the iPad mini will look like this? Let us know in the comments below...

We already know that the deadly H5N1 avian flu is only one stabilizing mutation away from being able to spread to humans. But as society nervously anticipates a potential pandemic, we get disturbing news that a different variant of the flu, the equally ominous H3N8, has successfully made the leap from birds to seals.
As scientists scramble to determine if the new virus poses a threat to humans, others suggest this is a good opportunity to study an epidemic in progress, to help us prepare for the Big One.
And indeed, the spread of the flu to seals provides a real-life example of what scientists have been predicting could happen with H5N1. Last fall, 162 dead harbor seal pups washed up on the shores of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Analysis of the dead seals indicated that they had been killed by a virus that was spreading from seal to seal — proof that the bird flu had mutated into something new.
The question now is, does this flu pose a threat to humans? Writing in the New York Times, Carl Zimmer explores the possibility:
A new strain that can spread among seals is a reason for serious concern, Dr. [Simon] Anthony said. "What we fear is that it would allow the virus to persist within the seal population," he said. "And if it persists, who knows what other changes may accumulate over time?"
"If it adapts better to mammal hosts, it may well start to move into humans," Dr. Lipkin said. "This is clearly a virus for which we need some surveillance."
Pigs, Dr. Lipkin noted, are especially good at producing new flu strains because they can be infected by bird flu and mammal flu at the same time. Two kinds of virus can combine, giving rise to new hybrid strains.
Dr. Lipkin and his colleagues found evidence that seal cells can also be invaded by both kinds of viruses - raising the possibility that they could produce new hybrid flu strains as well.
"It could be the equivalent of an aquatic pig," Dr. Lipkin said.
Dr. Holmes wanted to see more evidence for the idea that flu viruses can mix in seals. He also pointed out that H3N8 has never crossed from dogs or horses to people.
"Just because we find a seal with mammal-adapted H3N8 does not mean we're going to get a human pandemic," Dr. Holmes said. "At the moment, it's hard to say what the threat really is."

Well another month has flown by and another Sweet Heat successfully completed! I think this month's theme of Game Food was a little more challenging for you all, however you still outdid yourselves and we got some fantastic entries!
I really do love and appreciate the time and effort you all make to take part in Sweet Heat – especially when the theme is a little more challenging but once again I did receive a couple of entries this month that didn't have any chillies in them. While I hate to be repetitive and definitely don't want to discourage any of you from taking part please remember that this challenge was started to encourage to cooking, eating and celebrating the deliciousness of chillies (in any shape or form)!
So with the team talk over let's not waste anymore time and send this into an undeserved overtime ! ; )

Last weekend, I joined Selangorlicious for a foodster trip to Fei Fei Crab where the participants (including yours truly) were given a chance to sample eight signature dishes specially prepared by Chef Tan.
Chef Tan emphasises a lot on creativity and food presentation. Hence, the food that we had there were different from those serve at other Chinese restaurants.
First up was the Salt Wrap Fish (RM 30) which requires an elaborate preparation technique. According to Chef Tan, the fish must be caught fresh from the aquarium and not refrigerated overnight. This helps to ensure that the fish is still moist when it is being cooked. Moreover, the outer layer of the fresh fish will still retains its gooey texture which is important as the fine salt will stick easily onto its skin before it is deep fried. The fish was also stuffed with blended ginger and spring onion which can be eaten.
Due to the elaborate process in preparing the dish, it is best to call the restaurant in advance to make a booking. According to Chef Tan, it takes at least an hour for him to make the dish.
The Sizzling Plate Seafood (RM 20) will certainly delight those who loves spicy food. Served on a hot plate with a mixture of prawns, long beans, brinjals, mussels and bamboo clams the taste was certainly punchy without being overly spicy.
Belacan Sweet Potato Leafs with Egg Plant (RM 12) was another interesting dish prepared by Chef Tan. The inclusion of fried anchovies gave it a crunchy texture as opposed to the soft egg plant while the spicy sambal was imaginatively mixed with the sweetness of the vegetable taste.
If you fancy snails, do not missed out on Fei Fei Crab's Japanese Snail (RM30). Cooked with two unique flavour namely butter and dried Chilies, both of them were equally good.
If I had to choose one of them it would be the butter version which was more flavoursome. According to Chef Tan, the butter was cooked with garlic and egg thus giving it a unique taste. It is interesting to note that snails by itself do not have any taste and this is where the creamy egg texture gave these snails a nice aroma when it is 'wrapped' around the them while being cooked.
The Pattaya Pork Knuckles (RM42) and Great Wall Pork Rib (RM28) is another creative dish from Chef Tan. The pork ribs on the side of the plate resembles the Great Wall while the pork knuckles were placed in the middle. With a mixture of fat and lean meat, the pork ribs were both soft and tender. The outer layer was slightly charred but there was certainly no hint of burnt taste.
The pork knuckle however as a bit dry whilst the skin wasn't as crispy as it should be. According to the Chef Tan the dish was prepared by another chef that day and hence, it wasn't as good as it should be.
However, he reiterated that the pork knuckle should be repeatedly poured over with hot oil once the inner meat is sufficiently cooked to get the crispy surface on the skin. Nevertheless, despite the slight setback in its preparation, the meal was still good enough to be eaten.
The Yam Ring with Chicken and Pork Rib (RM 30) or otherwise known as '2012' was inspired after watching a scene in the movie 2012 when the volcanic eruption resulted in huge molten rocks falling from the lava pit. Hence, Chef Tan made a Yam Ring filled with deep fried chicken to depict the volcano while the individual chunks of pork ribs represent the rocks.
It is interesting to note that the pork ribs has some crushed peanut on the top which gave a contrasting texture of the soft meat and sweet crunchy peanut. The mayonnaise sauce inside the yam ring was delicious and complimented the fried chicken nicely. Although some may prefer the traditional 'Fatt Putt' with capsicum, cashew nuts and chicken cubes, I find this dish rather special. Thumbs up for being different.
The Spicy Cheese Crab (RM35) was prepared in a claypot with thick spicy gravy. The gravy goes well with the 'mantau' although I find the gravy a bit too spicy for my liking.
According to Chef Tan, the dish is best eaten when it is hot. That is the reason why the dish was prepared using a claypot so that the it will stay warm for a longer period as compared to serving on a plate. Once the heat dissipates, the gravy will become thicker and the chilli taste will become more apparent.
Finally, the Marmite Crab (RM 35) deserves a two thumbs up. The sweet marmite sauce covering the crab shells was the perfect dish to end our foodster trip.
The crab was nicely cook and the meat inside the shell was fork-friendly chunks and not the flaky type sold at some below average seafood restaurants.
Overall, I would give this place a good recommendation for any food lover. My only gripe would be the location which was slightly difficult to locate at first. But I am sure that this won't deter food lovers from wanting to have a taste of the unique dishes at Fei Fei Crab.

"Brave" is the latest offering from Walt Disney's Pixar Animation Studios, a company that has created an incredibly strong lineage of animated films including the "Toy Story" films, "Finding Nemo", "Wall-E", "Up", and many others. Which such a proud heritage, the question that everyone wonders first is not so much how good "Brave" is itself, but rather whether it it's a worthy addition to the Pixar legacy.
The answer? Yes, absolutely. While I don't feel it's going to be considered one of Pixar's best by that many people, I certainly do think they've put together another animated effort of extraordinarily high quality, with an abundance of soul.

On the first weekend of December, four teams made the NFL playoffs.
With four weeks to go in the regular-season, New England owns the AFC East title, Denver has the AFC West and Atlanta won the NFC South.
Houston has not clinched the AFC South, although it has a three-game lead over Indianapolis, but it secured at least a wild-card spot on Sunday.
The Patriots (9-3) beat Miami 23-16 for their sixth straight win. It also was Tom Brady's 10th division title, the most for any quarterback in NFL history.
Denver (9-3) has won seven in a row after defeating Tampa Bay 31-23, and with that loss by the Bucs, the Falcons (11-1) were guaranteed their division title. Atlanta beat New Orleans 23-13 on Thursday night.
The Texans (11-1) beat Tennessee 24-10, but with the Colts (8-4) winning 35-33 at Detroit, the AFC South remains undecided. Houston and Indianapolis meet twice in the last three weeks.
Baltimore (9-3) has a two-game lead on Pittsburgh and Cincinnati in the AFC North, and the Bengals still have both division rivals left on their schedule. The Ravens lost 23-20 to the Steelers on Sunday, while the Bengals won 20-13 at San Diego.
San Francisco's 16-13 loss in overtime at St. Louis tightened up the AFC West as Seattle (7-5) defeated Chicago 23-17 in OT. The 49ers have a 1 1/2-game lead on the Seahawks.
The New York Giants (7-4) entered the weekend up two games up in the NFC East and they face Washington on Monday night.
Green Bay (8-4) and Chicago are tied atop the NFC North. The Packers have beaten the Bears already and they meet Dec. 16 at Soldier Field.

Kyle Busch: wearing a bull's eye in the All-Star race? (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
The smart money here is on the smartest guy on the tour this spring -- Matt Kenseth.
He's also the fastest.
When you're outrunning the Rick Hendrick guys and the Jack Roush guys, well, you're getting the job done.
In fact if one of Joe Gibbs' trio -- Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin -- doesn't win Saturday night's All-Star race, it might be considered an upset.
The scorecard this spring: Gibbs' Toyotas have five wins, Hendrick's Chevy guys have three wins, Richard Childress' Chevy guys have one win, Roush's Ford guys have one win, and underdog David Ragan has the other Ford win.
That's Toyota five, Chevrolet four, Ford two.
For what that says.
That's one story line here this weekend. Another: Kyle Busch and Kasey Kahne, who have tangled three times already this season, with Kahne getting the worst of it each time.
Carl Edwards won the pole Friday evening for the first 20-lap leg of the 90-lap All-Star. The quirky qualifying was in three-lap runs, punctuated by a four-tire pit stop on a pit road with no speed limit.
Watching drivers hit pit road wide open was breathless...but some big names screwed up, like Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick. "Coming on to pit road at 157 mph was fun," Kurt Busch, second fastest, said.
"It was a blast," Edwards said. "We should qualify like this every week."
Of course for decades NASCAR drivers had no pit road speed limits, and they did this wide-open thing every pit stop at every track, against every other driver in the field. "I was thinking 'Mark Martin did this every week how many years?'" Edwards said, shaking his head. "Every week, every pit stop, every track, every driver....that's insane. And imagine how dangerous it was for the pit crewmen. It's dangerous enough for the pit crew men right now."
Edwards, in a tribute to legendary Dick Trickle, who died Thursday, posted Trickle's name over his door. Ironically Jimmy Fennig, Edwards' crew chief, was also Trickle's crew chief at one time. (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
Martin Truex Jr. and Jamie McMurray, in more traditional better-of-two-laps qualifying, will be on the front row for the 7:30 p.m. ET start of the preliminary Showdown. The top two finishers will advance to the feature. Also making the big race will be a driver by fan voting, widely expected to be Danica Patrick, who starts seventh.
One reason for Kahne and Busch colliding so frequently is that they're both hot this spring. "Kasey won Bristol, and we finished second," Busch points out. "He ran well at Vegas, and he ran well at Kansas. We were up front at Vegas with him.
"When you're running up front, you try for wins the last 30 laps, and you have to give it everything you've got. You're not there to rollover and let a guy go.
"The Darlington piece -- if I'd let him go, I don't know I could have gotten back by him. It was a little difficult to pass, and he did have a good car on long runs. So I knew protecting my spot was what I needed to do at that particular point.
"I'm sure there could be a moment where it could come back on me, and I expect it. It's fine. I just told Kasey 'Just don't make it hurt too bad.'
"I don't think Kasey is that kind of guy... but if it happens, I'll understand.
"You race him just has hard as you race him any other week. The first two instances were a mistake, just misjudgment.
"Kasey admitted he had to get on the brakes in Daytona and checked up a little bit and I ran over him. You couldn't really see through the cars in front of you to see what was happening.
"Talladega I just misjudged -- I wanted to pull out (and pass Kahne) and thought at the last second I was going to stay in line and push Kasey. I turned him sideways.
"Last week was just hard racing: You're in the last laps, and it's all about track position. He pulled a huge slide job on me in turn three, and I got back to his inside; I had been running down on the flat all night, passing lapped cars. And some of my restarts were even that low on the track.
"I didn't think there was going to be a problem... and when I got down there I just got tight and pushed up a little.
"Whether or not we touched, that's insignificant -- I'm not racing to wreck Kasey Kahne, but Kasey Kahne did crash because of me.
"I hate it keeps being the same guy...."

Just how this All-Star thing plays out is typically unpredictable. Last year Jimmie Johnson used the rules to his advantage -- winning the first leg, and then coasting through the next ones, till the finale.
"I said the rules were stupid, and they need to change it to this year's rules," Busch said. "
"The rules are right this year. You have to run each segment as hard as you can; you have to stay up front to keep your average finish as good as you can.
"Then there are going to be a lot of things playing out in between the segments, with pit stops -- tire strategy: do you take two tires, do you stay out? Do you come in and get four if there's a yellow in the middle of a segment, and get yourself ready for the next segment?
"There's a whole bunch of different things that could certainly play out in the race. It's going to make it a lot more fun not only for the fans but for the crew chiefs as well."
Kenseth, who certainly looks like a strong championship contender this season, for what would be his second Cup title, is not only in high form on the track but also off the track, where he laughs and jokes and pokes good-humored fun. Wonder if he could do Saturday Night Live....
Another Gibbs' night looming here?
"I hope you're right," Kenseth says.
"I really feel, as an organization, we've been pretty strong everywhere... at all the tracks.
"There are a couple where we've been off a little; but one of them was California, and Denny was leading the last lap and Kyle won."
And just why?
Well, maybe it's the engines?
When was the last time NASCAR did an engine dyno check on Ford, Toyota and Chevrolet?
It's probably not the bodies, given NASCAR's incredibly strict -- maybe even overly strict -- body template inspections...and that weird laser scanning machine.
Actually it's most likely hidden somewhere in the chassis.
Or maybe -- speeds this season are up markedly, remember, with these new 2013s -- Gibbs' guys are just plain faster drivers than their rivals?
"It's hard for me to put my finger on exactly what it is, because this is my first year," Kenseth, a first-year Toyota driver, says. "It's a whole new race car. It's hard to compare to last year's car."
Hehehehe....particularly since NASCAR executives are so willing to dish out $25,000 fines to anyone critiquing these new cars.
Then again, if Kenseth did know the secret, "I wouldn't tell anybody."
Part of the deal, for Kenseth, may come on pit road. His pit stops over the years have been some of the best in the business....and maybe it's not just the over-the-wall guys.
Another part of the deal for Kenseth may be Jason Ratcliff's strategy and tactics from atop the race day pit box.
Tires appear to be a bit more of a factor this season. Which makes pit calls more intriguing. Consider the wacky pit calls in the final minutes at Richmond three weeks ago.
The decision to cancel pit road speeding rules for All-Star qualifying Friday night prompted some interesting talk.
NASCAR has had strict pit road speed limits since the horrific 1990 death of crewman Mike Rich at Atlanta.
Only one driver here, Mark Martin, raced the tour before speed limits on pit stops.
"I'm glad I didn't have to do it with no pit road speed limit," Kenseth says. "I think it could be pretty crazy and dangerous, with a lot of people standing out on pit road.
"I can't imagine what it would be like today if there wasn't a pit road speed. I'd think you'd have a lot wrecks on pit road."
Bet against Matt Kenseth? He might not win, but betting against him probably isn't that smart (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)

Grain bins provide temporary shelter after a disaster
The January 2010 earthquake near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, left more than 1.5 million people homeless, according to the United Nations. Two thousand miles away, Brett Nelson, who works as an occupational safety director at Sukup Manufacturing Co., heard the news of the devastation and wanted to help.
"My wife and I had talked about building our home out of a grain bin. I know how versatile they can be, so I thought, Why can't we design a transitional home that is safe and easy to construct in response to emergencies?" he says.
With support from the company's president, Charles Sukup, and chief financial officer, Steve Sukup, Nelson spearheaded the design of a prototype. From there, he worked with various nongovernmental agencies and charities to find destinations for the Safe T Homes. Now, Sukup has at least four sites where its product is used for temporary shelters or homes.
"The whole Safe T Homes project is a reflection of the Sukup family's values," Nelson says. "With their innovation and compassion, it's being proven they are committed to help."
The Village of Hope project, coordinated by the Global Compassion Network, uses 38 Sukup Safe T Homes for housing.
The 18'-diameter Safe T Homes are highly modified grain bins featuring 20-gauge sidewalls, a walk-through steel door and two windows that have 16-gauge steel screens for safety and to keep out insects. For additional ventilation, the structure includes a continuous eave vent around the rim, and a perforated steel cupola allows accumulated heat to escape. The roof is made with two layers: one layer of 3" ribbed steel and a top layer of steel that reflects the energy from the sun.
"We've found that it's about 10° cooler in the Safe T Home than outside," Nelson explains. In November 2010, the company donated 14 structures to be used as hospital shelters just outside Port-au-Prince, as well as construction labor. Neighbor to neighbor. The next initiative was part of Haiti's Village of Hope, where the structures are used as temporary homes for families who will
learn agricultural and entrepreneurial skills, then move out when they find employment and adequate housing elsewhere. Then another family can move in. Residents are screened by Global Compassion Network, a nonprofit agency that administers the Village of Hope project.
"When we named it the Safe T Home, I was thinking of the occupants in the tent cities," Nelson says. "They are so vulnerable. With our homes, they can feel secure and have peace of mind. These homes have meant the difference between life and death, between keeping your children or giving them up for adoption, and assurance in having your family safe all day and night."
Nelson along with three others from Sukup—Nick Sukup, Luke Erickson and Joe Germain—traveled to Haiti in February 2012. Each day about 100 people gathered at their construction site, hoping to land a job building homes. After finding capable workers on-site, they divided into four teams to work on sidewalls, roofing and ballast boxes and built two houses per day. The last of the 11 homes were put up almost entirely by Haitians.
An experienced team of four can put a home up in just a few hours using minimal tools, Nelson says. Even a novice crew can have one built in a day. In addition to the grain bin homes, the Village of Hope features communal bathroom and cooking facilities.
Rapid-response homes. "Our team designed these homes so they can be easily transported and built quickly to respond to emergencies," Nelson says.
Along with Global Compassion Network, Sukup Manufacturing partnered with the Iowa Food and Family Project, an initiative launched by the Iowa Soybean Association; and Meals from the Heartland, an Iowa-based nonprofit that has packaged more than 20 million meals for hungry families around the world.
Currently, there are 38 Safe T Homes in use at the Village of Hope.
In August, the need for ongoing aid to Haiti was amplified in the wake of Hurricane Isaac. After receiving a call about a damaged orphanage outside Port-au-Prince, Sukup employees went there in early September to construct Safe T Homes for the orphanage.
In a day, a 254-sq.-ft. modified Sukup grain bin can be erected to provide safe housing in the aftermath of a disaster.
"We built seven homes in two and a half days," Nelson says. "This gave the 46 children of the orphanage a safe place to live. What started out as a project has become more of a passion."
The Safe T Home was recognized by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers as an AE50 Award winner. The awards recognize outstanding agricultural innovations that have the potential for broad impact. Key to the Safe T Homes' use as transitional housing is the ease with which they can be built.
Sukup Manufacturing is making Safe T Homes available for purchase by not-for-profit organizations for $5,700. The Safe T Homes are designed for any temperate climate.
"We have been so fortunate in that we've had an outpouring of volunteers," Nelson says. "It's exceeded the number of homes we've built, but in many ways there is still so much help needed for the people of Haiti."

Organization Tuesday, Oops, Thursday…
Posted by

3 Comments » | Published in Get Organized | 3 Comments
I've just completed week three (of six) of the organizing workshop. As you can see, my organization efforts are still running behind! I think I was waiting for my space to be perfect before sharing it. Then I realized that I'd be waiting a really long time, put off blog posts, and leave you all with nothing new to read when you stop by for weeks on end. Apparently, waiting until it's perfect is a paralyzing organizing roadblock for me. I have accomplished sorting various junk drawers and even clearing out a mega-sized drawer to hide my paper and cardboard recycling – the basket full of it out in the open was starting to make me not want to recycle any more! It's crazy how happy this has made me. The feeling of accomplishment that comes with these little projects is wonderful.
I am finding that having organization on the brain is leading to other projects and simple fixes that I had been ignoring for a long time. For instance, my beloved Dyson vacuum had lost all of its sucking mojo. I finally did some hardcore taking-apart of the appliance and found there was a pen stuck in there and all kinds of things were stuck around it, blocking all of the air. I finally had my beloved but filthy with construction dust and pollen screened-in porch powerwashed, removed all of the furniture for a scrub-down, washed all of my pillow covers and got a new rug for out there. I found a bored friend to hang the shelves my office had been crying out for, so without further ado:
BEFORE (EWWWW! I could not get ANY work done in here because it was so distractingly gross and ugly):
You may recognize my map wall. It had seen better days; the sun had faded the once-lovely blue to a depressing gray. Yuck. Actually, it had been replaced by my horrible D.I.Y. disaster inspiration board, but that thing has bitten the dust as well. I cannot seem to find a good inspiration board solution. I need to go re-read my post comments because I know you all gave me some great suggestions.
What I have left to do:
1) Find the perfect labels for those pails so I'll know which one to pull down. They contain all of my drafting supplies which were formerly in that little chest of drawers in the BEFORE picture. The chest was great for my station in grad school, but it had just become clunky junky in my current office. I think it would be a cute nightstand in a future dream beach house I don't own, so I'm storing it in the attic for now. Oh, those are paint tins from Home Depot, I think they cost about $1 each. They come in a bunch of different sizes and they are great for hiding a multitude of sins.
2) Sort whatever the heck is in this tin.
3) I feel like this is sort of wasted space, but I don't want to fill it just because I have it. Look it how gross it got in the BEFORE shot. For now, I'm going to enjoy the empty space it adds to my flow. Hopefully this wastebasket is not in my feng shui financial corner or something (wasn't that in Bridget Jones' Diary? She was basically letting her finances get tossed out with the garbage, according to a feng shui article in one of her glossies. I have much bigger issues to deal with before I can even think about adding feng shui complications!).
4) I just threw extra office supplies on this shelf. I need to get it looking nicer or it's going to bug me. That Staples box of envelopes is too ugly to be out. These are the kinds of details that bug me.
I have to give another shoutout to my Organizing 101 Workshop. It's part practical organizing, part figuring out the psychology of why my house gets to a certain point of disarray, like why I shop too much, why my clutter builds up, etc.! There's also a great forum of people going through the same thing to chat and commiserate with – it is really motivating and it's well worth the $75 price tag.
When I'm all done, I'm going to do something crazy. I'm probably going to have to take it all down because I HATE that ten year old Restoration Hardware soft green, and I'd like to wallpaper. However, by the time I'm done, I should have a system, and I'll take pictures so I will know where to put everything back up, right? Another one of my roadblocks is finding out my pain in the butt limits – I ordered some samples, picked one, tried to get two different people in the know to refer a good wallpaper hanger, they didn't know any, and I stopped trying! However, I have been in touch with a great painter. Perhaps I should just stick with him and keep things simple. Sorry, if any of you are still actually reading this, I think I'm working through my own personal organization/project completion limitations through this blog and boring you with it! Hmmm, what color, what color…hmmm, time to distract myself with June's Coastal Living, Elle Decor, and Southern Living, all of which are sitting right in front of me at the moment, then make a field trip to Benjamin Moore…
Hi, I'm Becky. I live in Atlanta. Besides acting as the Editorial Director here on Hatch, you can find me talking design over at Houzz. Make me happy — leave a comment!

Old-school Borland leads charge for No. 25 Wisconsin
Badgers play at Illinois Saturday
Put on the pads. Lace up the shoes. Give an emotional pregame speech.
Simple yet oh-so effective, Chris Borland is No. 25 Wisconsin's old-school linebacker. He'll be a headache for Illinois offensive coordinator Bill Cubit when the Badgers visit Champaign on Saturday night.
"The Borland kid, I love watching him play," Cubit said. "I hate to say it because we're facing him, but that guy plays college football the way it should be played."
No showboating. Textbook tackling. And a polite, look-you-in-the-eye demeanor off the field that could remind someone of the boy next door.
But he's anything but on the field. The fifth-year senior has a team-high 56 tackles, good for third in the Big Ten, and two sacks. He's seemingly everywhere.
Senior running back James White has been watching this show in practice for four years now at Wisconsin (4-2, 2-1).
"He's very instinctive and he's going to find the ball," White said. "He does a great job of watching film, so he's that much faster out there when he's playing."
Borland followed up his 16-tackle game against Ohio State with a 10-tackle performance in the 35-6 dismantling last week of previously-ranked Northwestern.
He's also one forced fumble away of tying the career FBS record of 14 shared by five players including Purdue's Ryan Kerrigan. Asked about the secret to his success, Borland offered answers as if he was running a seminar on proper tackling.
"It's important, not only is it the right way to make plays, but it keeps you healthy and forces takeaways, too," Borland said.
As for the recent buzz in the pro and college level about the lack of "form tackling," Borland said it's in part due to how more teams are spreading the field. Getting put in space more may lend to fewer opportunities for tackling properly.
"I do think there is a lot of lunging and diving. A lot of that may be out of necessity," he said.
Make no mistake, Borland seems to do that well, too. Like when he lunged at Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter on a third-down play in the red zone to force the Wildcats to settle for a first-quarter field goal. It was one of the plays that set the tone for the rest of the afternoon.
Coach Gary Andersen, in his first year in Madison, gushed about Borland before the season kicked off. He has said Borland's pre-snap awareness is comparable only to that of safety Eric Weddle when he was at Utah. Andersen was a former defensive coordinator with the Utes.
"It's been played out in his mind. There are percentages that this is going to happen," Andersen said in the preseason in describing Borland's preparation.
And that was before Borland even took a snap in a game with the 3-4 defense that Andersen brought to Madison.
But things seem to be working out just fine right now. Borland is a mainstay, but the rotations otherwise in the front seven are helping to increase pressure on the quarterback. The young secondary, which was considered a question mark, is benefiting and improving.
Borland is never shy about heaping credit on his teammates for the defensive effort. The Badgers are second in the conference in total defense (267.3 yards).
But Borland seems to be always leading the charge.

According to www.bigsiteofamazingfacts.com, about 35 billion sticks of gum are chewed by Americans each year. That's twenty-five packets per year for each person (men, women and children) just in the United States. An article by Science News for Kids states that gum chewing has been going on for thousands of years. The Greeks, Mayas and Native Americans chewed on sap and resin from certain types of trees. We all know that dentists recommend chewing sugar-free gum to avoid tooth decay. But why not chew a gum that can actually attack your bad breath instead of just covering it up? Therabreath's Chewing Gum actually increases saliva production that is ideal for occasional or situation bad breath. This gum lasts much longer than regular chewing gum because the taste isn't what is responsible for breath control – it's the formula of the gum itself. Want to be kissable 24/7? Then try our French Kiss Chewing Gum to immediately blast away bad breath and never have to give a second thought before you move in close to smooch your honey. If gum isn't your thing, then try our new TheraBreath Dry Mouth Lozenges to maintain great breath without all the chewing.
