Employees from Peace River Distributing worked with Charlotte County Habitat for Humanity staff to build a home on Swift Street in Port Charlotte.
On Dec. 6 at 10 a.m., a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at a bridge that joins Oak Park School and Lakeview Elementary School in Sarasota. The project, which included building two waterfalls and painting the bridge, began in June, when the John F. Kennedy Center awarded a Very Special Arts MetLife grant entitled Building Bridges in the School and Community to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall.
The grant stipulated that it be used to integrate students living with disabilities alongside students who are not disabled to work together on a visual arts project.
The grant allowed 400 of those students to attend two live performances of "Math Rocks" and "Super Scientific Circus," in conjunction with the Van Wezel's 2012 Schooltime Performances Program.
The Van Wezel contracted with local artist Brenda Smoak, a National VSA Teaching Artist Fellow, to work with the students at Oak Park and Lakeview Elementary schools. Smoak designed and has executed outdoor installation projects that incorporate science, math, art, language arts and 21st Century life skills into permanent artistic installations.
Smoak's team includes waterfall and pond artisans Dave and Lisa Burns, from Backyard Getaway in Myakka City, who designed and guided the students in creating an Atlantic Water Gardens Colorfalls pond-free feature at each school, and teaching artist Krista McCampbell, who specializes in mosaics.
Troy and Joyce Sacco, of Generous Property, and Barbara Thompson, of Riddell Title & Escrow LLC, donated to All Faiths Food Bank to help buy Thanksgiving turkeys.

Smack-Pack Activator System™
Wyeast Laboratories, Inc. Activator™ packages are designed for direct inoculation of 6 gallons of must or juice.
The Smack Pack System™ provides optimum conditions for storage, while providing proof of healthy yeast ready for inoculation of must, juice, wort or seed mash.
Activator™ packages include sterile liquid nutrient pouch that, when "smacked", releases its contents into the yeast slurry and "activates" the package. The available nutrients initiate the culture's metabolism which in turn generates CO₂ and causes swelling of the package. This process will reduce lag times by preparing the yeast for a healthy fermentation prior to inoculation. Activation also serves as a viability test of the culture. Expansion of the package is an indicator of healthy (viable and vital) yeast. Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation.
The Activator™ package contains a minimum 100 billion cells in a yeast slurry. The Activator™ is designed to directly inoculate 6 gallons (22 L) of must or juice with the same pitching rates used by professionals.
Instructions for the proper use of Activator™ packages:
- Remove Activator from refrigeration (34-40 °F/ 1-4 °C) and allow to come to room temperature.
- To Activate, locate and move inner packet to a corner, place this area in palm of one hand and firmly smack package with the other hand to break the inner nutrient packet. Confirm the inner packet is broken.
- Shake the package well to release the nutrients.
- Allow package to incubate and swell for 3 hours or more at 70-75 °F (21-24 °C), this allows for yeast metabolism to begin prior to inoculation, the CO₂ produced causes the package to swell. If you do not require proof of activity, bring package to room temperature and proceed to the next step immediately and Direct Pitch.
- Shake well, sanitize package, open and pour the Activator™ into 6 gallons (22 L) of well-aerated or oxygenated juice, must or wort at 70-75 °F (21-24 °C). Maintain temperature until fermentation is evident by CO₂ bubble formation, bubbling airlock or foaming on top of must, juice or wort. For Saké, add to seed mash (Koji/steamed rice/water) to produce your saké starter (Shobu or Moto).
- Adjust to desired fermentation temperature.
Full swelling of Activator™ packages is not required for their use. The contents of Activator™ packages may be direct-pitched without prior activation. Our smack pack technology is intended to be a tool for your use in determining viability, and in initiating metabolism for faster starts to fermentation.
Sterile Packaged Product – UV Light Barrier – 100% Guaranteed Pure
Refrigerate between 34-40 °F (1-4 °C).
Do not freeze.
Best if Used by: This package is best when used within 6 months of the manufacturer's date when stored between 34-40 °F (1-4 °C). Older yeast or yeast that has been exposed to higher or lower temperatures may take longer to become active or swell.
Our Product Warranty states that we guarantee the viability of the yeast in our Activator™ packages for 6 months from the manufacture date assuming that they have been properly shipped, stored and handled. Our superior packaging material provides 100% oxygen barrier and UV light protection making this exceptional guarantee possible. During this 6 month guaranteed shelf life, some loss of viability is to be expected. This will vary from one strain to another. Activator™ packages that are 4 months old or older may require additional time to swell after activation. Activator™ packages will sometimes swell slightly, or moderately, during shipping or later while properly stored. This is not an indication of deterioration if the package is less than 6 months old and has been properly handled. This is result of trace amounts of nutrients, still available at the time packaging, causing small amount of culture activity and CO₂ production. Some strains are more prone to this than others.
We think you'll agree our unique "Smack Pack" is preferable to all other liquid yeast packaging options to assure the success of your fermentations.

ESPN's NASCAR News Bonanza
Tuesday turned out to be quite a day for the "Insiders" at NASCAR Now, ESPN2's daily motorsports show.
First up was Terry Blount who has been both a strong and opinionated reporter for ESPN's NASCAR efforts. He has not been swept up in the "breaking news" hysteria, and always presents himself in a professional and credible manner.
Around this time of the season, right before The Chase, we begin to see the dominoes start to fall around the garage, and the entire sport. Blount had a good recap on Tony Eury Junior's move to Hendrick, Casey Mears moving to the "five" car, and the latest on Dale Earnhardt Junior's team and car numbers. Blount is one reporter who can handle host Erik Kuselias smoothly, and once again today it showed on-the-air.
"Insider" Marty Smith was next on-scene with JJ Yeley as he joined Hall of Fame Racing. This curious move was linked directly to Toyota motors from Gibbs Racing, and the opportunity to improve the performance of this single car team.
Another "Insider" David Newton came on-camera to re-enforce the details of this story, which to many fans just does not make sense. Yeley had several opportunities to go to established multi-car teams, but instead chose a team that has never even contended for a win.
Newton hinted that Yeley's new team would be a part of a major effort by Toyota and closely linked with Gibbs. All season long, Newton has been a soft-spoken reporter with good details and a calm demeanor. Appearing as the third "Insider" in the show, Newton's appearance really served to remind viewers of the resources at ESPN's disposal when it comes to NASCAR News.
Chad Knaus appeared on this show, but it was unfortunately by phone. This smacks of a TV show just repeating the same information heard on Sirius and XM radio's NASCAR channels. The endless parade of NASCAR call-ins by drivers and crew chiefs has gone on all season and certainly served to heighten the profile of satellite radio this year.
NASCAR Now absolutely needs to try everything possible to get their key interviews on-camera, including finally committing to a Mooresville area liveshot studio. When almost everyone in "NASCAR land" lives in the same general area, getting every face possible on-camera is key for this series.
Tim Brewer appeared from an unknown location, and offered a good summary of several news topics. Brewer is plain spoken, and he speaks the language of many NASCAR fans. These veteran fans remember Brewer's involvement in the sport, but the newer fans are somewhat put-off by Brewer's style.
Once out of the Tech Center, Brewer offers good opinions and chats very well live. Maybe, an Infield Studio appearance at Richmond is in his future? Tough to get the Tech Center on-the-air at a short track, and Tim's perspectives in the studio could add a new dimension to the racing.
After all this hard news and analysis, its a bit rough to watch a Fantasy League "pick 'em" where random drivers are just compared head-to-head out of thin air. Nothing that Fantasy Writer Christopher Harris says is ever referenced later, because racing luck does not respond to sports writers trying to describe NASCAR drivers in baseball player terms. Let's face it, everybody is trying to win, but no one is immune to mechanical failure or on-track incidents. Stats just don't play the same role in NASCAR as stick-and-ball sports.
With all the "news guys" in the show, it certainly appears that this would have been a good day for Ryan Burr to host the program. He has a pace that keeps things hopping, and talks naturally with the reporters, as opposed to reading scripted questions. His ESPN News Network background lends itself to this type of program, and has proven to be popular with viewers this season.
As NASCAR Now transitioned back to the thirty minute version, they showed the strength of good reporting that has been going on all season. These three "Insiders" are not the reporters involved in the ESPN skirmishes with drivers recently. It is very clear which ESPN reporters are on the "NASCAR news" side of the fence, and who is on the "tabloid hype" side. At the track, those two ESPN groups mix like oil and water. That should make for some interesting times during The Chase.
Wednesday, NASCAR Now will get a big boost from the fans tuning-in for the "Gibbs to Toyota" information after work. This is a great opportunity to put ESPN2's best foot forward and capture as many new viewers as possible with a focused and professional effort for thirty minutes. Good luck to all, we'll be watching.

You make two salient points in this segment. Upon reflection, they are related. There appears to be ongoing hostilities within the walls of ESPN.
1)The lack of a NC production facility seems to indicate either a lack of trust or commitment by management.
2)The NASCAR oriented journalists are frequently passed over in favor of smirky TV folks who seem to be perpetually indignant about some issue each week.
ESPN is loaded with talented folks. The real problem is at the top. The senior folks continue to force people into rolls that they are ill suited to perform. That is a real TV tragedy.

I suspect that at least part of the ESPN/NASCAR Now troubles arise from the now-prevalent belief (generated by sports talk radio) that "it's not interesting unless it's a controversy."
This sort of attitude does a disservice to any sport's fans. We watch NASCAR not because we like artificial drama, but because the sport itself is interesting.
If ESPN would just get this idea, it would generate coverage we could get behind.
Kind of like SPEED's treatment of NASCAR.

Those ESPN people really showed their knowledge of NASCAR too.
The fantasy bozo picked Dave Blaney as his sleeper pick since Blaney "is 33rd in points and will be in the race."
You have to be kidding me.

Erik K said that Tim Brewer was reporting from Charlotte...over the life of the show, there have been many instances of the same type of thing. One of the reporters would be on some kind of live shot set reporting. Why don't they use that for the drivers and crew chiefs? Am I missing something?
- September 5, 2007 at 10:55 AM

ESPN doesn't use that studio(ERT) to bring in guests because as John has mentioned at times, Charlotte isn't as convenient to get to from Mooresville as you would think. If you're Knaus, and you're dealing with your day to day duties as crew chief for the 48, would you really want to hop in a car and drive 1/2 hour(that's with no traffic) to Charlotte? Regardless of how any driver or crew member feels about ESPN, I don't think they'd do it for any network.
I don't agree that they need a studio in Mooresville. If you go down the main teams they're not all in Mooresville. Some are 20-25 minutes away, which again, makes it tough to get a driver/crew chief to leave. That being said, ESPN is supposedly installing "glowpoint" cameras at all of the major race shops next year. They said something about this at Daytona this year when they were hyping up their coverage. Something like this would be great. A glowpoint camera is like an HD webcam, where a guest just walks into a room, clips on a mic, someone in studio dials a phone number, and the camera goes up and is running. They use it now for guys like Buster Olney and John Clayton. My station just got some for their bureau cameras. It allows us to set up shop in different parts around the state without sending camera people.

I quit watching NASCAR Now about 2 weeks after it started on air because it was just too stupid to bear. However, I read this column every day since I really enjoy the recap (I get all the info and none of the aggravation this way) and because I enjoy the commentary from other folks writing in. I'm about to quit watching the races on ESPN, too, mainly for the same reason. Just too annoying to waste time watching when the coverage on MRN/Sirius radio is a 1,000 times better (other than not being able to "see" it). But with all of ESPN's hype going on during the race broadcasts, seeing the race on TV is not all that great. I can visualize what is going on at track by what the radio announcers are saying. Great column, please keep it up!

I still watch NN to hear from the reporters...the driver pick-em and all of the hype is ridiculous...
If NN is going to continue to refuse to cover Busch and truck, then they should redues the show schedule for Nascar Now instead of filling it with hype and fluff.
They have had 7 month to figure this out...they just don't get it.

To Anon at 5:37. A bureau would be smaller than a studio. Most bureaus are one room, usually rented in a complex, with a camera, a few lights, a small mixer, a background, and a computer to do some simple editing. I think ESPN's idea of putting cameras at the different race shops would be much better. You would get access that other stations just wouldn't have. Plus, you would never be in a bind for guests. You could call a specific race team and just ask that they provide anyone from the team to answer a few questions that day.

One more thing about the anonymous comment suggesting cameras at all the race shops: This would be akin to the "team cams" used on NFL Network. It can be done.

i am not talking about a "bureau" as defined by your local TV news operation.
A "bureau" can also be staffed by several reporters, several photographers, lead by a Bureau Chief.
Think Big-Time TV, like a network or a group, not local.

Untappd's Brewery Madness features 9 Colorado breweries in tournament
Think of it as the March Madness of American beer.
The creators of Untappd, a mobile app that allows users to rate and catalog the beers they drink, put together their own bracket to coincide with the NCAA Tournament.
Brewery Madness pits the 64 most popular American breweries on the app — based on unique user check-ins over the past 30 days — in a tournament to decide which one is top dog. The winning brewery will receive its own custom badge in which users can earn and add to their collection.
"We've been wanting to do this every year for March Madness," co-founder and chief technology officer Greg Avola said. "We thought it'd be really cool for to do it from the beer side."
Untappd will track the number of unique check-ins to each brewery for each round. The rounds coincide with the each of the rounds in the NCAA Tournament, for example the first round will take place March 17-18.
"Hopefully in a two-day period, we'll see some upsets and some Cinderellas," Avola said.

A wild time on the High Plains
Mary Lee Hagert
Review staff
I've just returned from the Wild West, and I'm not referring to the re-enactment of 1890s gunslingers shooting up Main Street in Deadwood, S.D.
No, I mean the new Wild West, the one that's cropped up more than a century after the days when drifters got into quick-draw duels on the Dakota Territory's High Plains.
A vacation in the Dakotas wasn't on my family's radar a month ago. But after discovering all the campsites were reserved at our top choice -- Rocky Mountain National Park -- we weren't sure where to go.
This was already going to be an unusual trip, since only one son, Kevin, was coming along. His twin brother, Christopher, was in Spain with a college study abroad program.
One night a TV commercial featuring sunsets tinged with purples and pinks, big-sky vistas and rugged buttes captured Kevin's attention. "That's where I want to go on vacation," he asserted before the familiar North Dakota tourism logo appeared on the screen.
And so it was, three weeks later, we packed our camping gear and headed west toward Fargo and beyond.
Where everybody knows your name
After a motel night in Bismark, my husband directed us onto state Highway 200, one of those lovely two-lane roads that allow one to feel a part of the scenery rather than merely an insulated, distant observer barreling down the interstate.
We encountered little traffic and just when the distance between the tiny towns was increasing, we noticed the minivan was nearly out of gas.
After crossing miles of uninterrupted agricultural land, we were relieved to spot an aging white clapboard grain elevator surrounded by a handful of houses. Thankfully, it had a country store with two battered gas pumps.
Looking as if it had been around since the horse and buggy days, the store's wooden floors creaked as we examined the shelves of groceries, and eavesdropped on locals relaxing around worn tables and gossiping about moonshine stills and carousing husbands. They obviously knew everyone in town ... and probably the whole county.
I told the shopkeeper we were grateful his store was open, as we imagined it was the last place to buy gas on the tranquil road ahead to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. He said dryly, "Could be; I wouldn't know."
As we drove away, Kevin noticed the village's name, Dodge, and we laughed that we were lucky to be "getting out of Dodge" with a full tank of gas.
New faces, new conflicts
Cultivated fields gradually gave way to craggy buttes, verdant valleys and the sweeping vistas that Kevin had hoped for.
Soon a big semi truck with a tanker zoomed by, followed by several more, and, right on their tails, a line of shiny, half-ton pickup trucks. The sudden heavy traffic in what, to all appearances, was the middle of nowhere, was nothing short of astonishing.
Then we started seeing pump jacks, lots and lots of them, rhythmically moving up and down in grassy fields. Resembling mechanical dinosaurs, the machines were slowly sucking up oil from the underground shale.
Little makeshift encampments had popped up in wheat fields, populated with oil workers living in Winnebago RVs, fifth-wheel trailers and pickup truck campers -- basically anything that could be hauled in on the narrow roads and set up quickly.
The Bakken Basin seemed like a new Wild West, oozing with oil, quick money and an undercurrent of lawlessness. We saw flames shooting high into the sky where wells had been dug, and muscular men moving like ants around huge drilling rigs.
I wanted to take a few photos of the oil patch, but pulling over in the breakneck traffic simply felt too unsafe. Of course there were posted speed limits, but no one heeded them.
I remembered reading about a popular county sheriff's early retirement in the Bismarck Tribune. Although it was the middle of his term, the sheriff said the timing was right because he had finally secured funding to build a much larger jail in his sparsely populated county. His quotes had a vague weariness to them, and the whole thing seemed puzzling until we entered his county and saw the oil boom craziness.
There were other newspaper accounts about once-sleepy hamlets being overrun with single guys looking for fun and finding little of it. They're getting into fights and straining small police departments.
I suspected many long-time residents yearned for the days when their towns were less like Tombstone and more like slow-paced Dodge.
A close encounter
At dusk we reached the national park, a welcome island of peace, although even it provided a few unexpected thrills.
Early the first morning, Kevin went on a long run, rounded a bend and nearly collided with a big, shaggy bison. After a brief stare-down, Kevin backed up and dashed back to the campgrounds, grateful that the critter didn't give chase.
Later that day, we encountered a massive male bison walking down the center of the main park road. A sports car sped right past the bull, which never flinched. But I was driving a bit more, um, cautiously ... nervously lurching the minivan forward in tiny spurts in hopes of maneuvering past the bison without veering off the shoulder-less road. At the same time, my two backseat drivers were noisily predicting that my jumpy snail's pace was going to annoy the animal.
Of course they were right; I spooked the drooling, snorting beast, and it charged us. Kevin took a couple photos of the oncoming bull as I floored the van on the 30 mph, curvy, ridgeline road. Following our heart-stopping escape, my husband announced he would be behind the wheel next time we drove on that road.
On to South Dakota
After exploring the beautiful park nestled in the North Dakota Badlands and nearby, touristy Medora, we took a peaceful two-lane highway to the Black Hills in South Dakota.
There we went to many of the same places that I visited when I was a child, and all these years later, I discovered they're still lots of fun.
But nothing could compare to new experiences and astonishing sights -- both the wild and the woolly -- in western North Dakota.
It truly was a wild time on the High Plains.

Brooks arrested in hacking scandal
LONDON - Former News International executive Rebekah Brooks and her racehorse trainer husband, Charlie, were arrested in dawn raids that also netted four other suspects in the spreading phone hacking scandal.
Police said the six people were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. The charge is an indication that investigators may be focusing on a possible coverup of the scope of phone hacking rather than the illegal hacking itself.
It was the most arrests in a single day since "Operation Weeting" - as the police investigation into phone hacking is known - began arresting reporters, senior news executives, police officers and others suspected of criminal acts.
The early morning police swoop brought the scandal to Prime Minister David Cameron's immediate social circle. Cameron said at a press conference earlier this month that Charlie Brooks, Rebekah Brooks' husband who has now been arrested, was a longtime friend.
The two had gone horse riding together, said Cameron, who lives in the Cotswolds town of Chipping Norton where the couple also reside.
"I've known Charlie Brooks, the husband of Rebekah Brooks, for over 30 years and he's a good friend and he's a neighbor in the constituency - we live a few miles apart," Cameron said after questions were raised about the propriety of the prime minister having ridden on a retired police horse that had been loaned to Rebekah Brooks.
The scandal began in 2005 with the revelation that tabloid reporters had broken into the voicemail systems of aides to the royal family in search of inside information. It mushroomed last summer with the revelation that hacking had been widespread at Rupert Murdoch's News of the World tabloid, which has since been shut.
Cameron had earlier lost his communications chief Andy Coulson because of questions that were raised about Coulson's role as editor of the News of the World when phones were hacked.
Rebekah Brooks, a one-time protege of Murdoch and also a former News of the World editor, had been arrested and set free on bail previously on charges related to the phone hacking and the corruption of officials.
In many of the earlier arrests suspects had been asked to report to various police stations for questioning, but police seem to have abandoned such lenient tactics as the scope of wrongdoing - and the subsequent coverup - has emerged.
Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers testified last month that the practice of making arrests without warning is an attempt to "secure best evidence and prevent suspects conferring or disposing of evidence."
Police did not reveal the names of the six people arrested Tuesday, but a person who had been briefed on the details said Rebekah and Charlie Brooks were among them.
News International, the British arm of Murdoch's global News Corp. empire, said its head of security, Mark Hanna, was also one of those arrested.
Police said the suspects ranged in age from 38 to 49 and that all were released on bail Tuesday evening after questioning.
The force said 23 people have been arrested as part of Operation Weeting thus far, with others facing charges as part of a related inquiry into corrupt relations between police and the press.
The embarrassing scandal, which has shown Britain's tabloid press in an extremely unflattering light, led Cameron to create a judge-led inquiry to gather evidence about media wrongdoing with an eye toward cleaning up the system.
The panel, chaired by Lord Justice Brian Leveson, has heard extensive sworn testimony about gross criminal acts committed by tabloid reporters, including descriptions of how reporters hacked into the phone of a missing girl later found murdered.
Celebrities have described extreme media harassment and said they felt stalked and trapped by overzealous, unscrupulous reporters.
The Leveson Inquiry is trying to determine why an initial police investigation into phone hacking in 2006 failed to reveal the scope of the problem.
At the time, Murdoch's executives claimed the wrongdoing was limited to one scurrilous reporter and an unprincipled private detective, both of whom were jailed.
The dormant police investigation was reopened last year after reporters were found to have hacked into the voicemail of a missing schoolgirl who was later found to have been murdered.
Faced with dozens of court cases from aggrieved victims, Murdoch's company has given apologies and cash settlements to many claimants, including actress Sienna Miller, singer Charlotte Church, and former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.
Murdoch has denied wrongdoing even as the scandal has claimed a number of his top lieutenants and led to the resignation last month of his son James Murdoch as chief executive of News International.
In February, Murdoch's Sun newspaper, Britain's best selling title, was hit hard as five senior staffers - including deputy editor Geoff Webster - were arrested as part of the inquiry into the alleged payment of bribes to police and other officials.
Rupert Murdoch had initially stood by Rebekah Brooks, a colorful figure known for her distinctive red hair, in the early days of the hacking imbroglio, but he eventually accepted her resignation shortly before her first arrest last year.
She was arrested in July on "suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications" and also on "suspicion of corruption allegations."
A spokesman for the Brookses did not return phone calls seeking comment Tuesday.
The phone hacking problem has also scuttled Murdoch's plans to purchase full control of the British broadcaster BSkyB.

PARADISE — A Paradise man with several warrants was arrested and booked into Butte County Jail Sunday morning, where police reportedly found him to be in possession of a large amount of methamphetamine and a concealed dagger.
Paradise police, with assistance from Butte County Sheriff deputies, responded to the 9300 block of Skyway Road at 8:58 a.m. Sunday to bring in Robert Evans, 47, who was wanted on three separate warrants.
Evans reportedly had two warrants from the Butte County Sheriff"s Office for felony possession of ammunition. He also was wanted for a misdemeanor warrant for possession of a controlled substance, possession of a smoking device and possession of syringe.
Evans coincidentally had a felony warrant with the Chico Police Department, reportedly pertaining to possession of a controlled substance for sale, possession of a controlled substance narcotic, maintaining a place to sell a controlled substance, armed with a firearm while in the commission of a felony and felon in possession of a firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance. The bail on the three charges was a combined amount of $285,000.
Evans was located inside of his home and taken into custody without incident. Following his arrest and discovery of the items on him, he was additionally charged with possession of methamphetamine for sale and possession of a prohibited weapon. His new bail is set at $315,000.

I love to putter. Some in the south call it "piddlin". Whatever you call it - I love it.
I finally had a free afternoon to participate in my favorite hobby and my mantel was the recipient of the effort.
I like to putter using what I have on hand. This collection is no different (except for one thing which I'll show you in a minute). I scoured my garage, attic closet, and bin of summer decor.
First, I found part of an old table that Hubs disasssembled. We found it curbside and scavenged the good wood that was left on it. It was a drop-side table and we used the extension mechanism on my studio work surface. The two drop sides were saved and I used one side on this mantel. It's worn, but adds some character to the arrangement.
I also added a cloche with collected seashells, Hub's grandfather's barometer, a large conch shell, a wooden boat my son made for me, a few bottles, and piece of glass slag.
My favorite addition is the hanging lanterns (leftover from daughter's wedding) that add a lot of dimension to the mantel. You won't believe what I hung them up with.
I found these purse hangers at the dollar store and my brain went into overdrive, thinking of how I could use them.
Ugly, no?
No worries, though, with my faithful can of spray paint (Krylon Oil Rubbed Bronze).
I'm happy with the results and looking forward to using these little hooks to hang wreaths, artwork, and whatever else I can dream up in the future. One warning, though. . . remove the hook and the lantern at the same time. The hooks work using the weight of the item you are hanging. If you just remove the lantern, the hook with fall right off.
So, are you inspired to buy some Purse Mates? What will you use them for?

I have been the GM for my little circle of friends for a few months. We are having trouble finding an RPG system to be comfortable with.
On my part, I seem to be unable to settle on any particular system or adventure - I find something new and shiny and want to play that. My players, on the other hand, don't entirely grasp how to deal with RPGs. Two roleplay enthusiastically, but I find a lot of the time I have to prompt them or suggest courses of action, like that the Rogue checks for traps.
I need a tabletop that is simple and easy to grasp for inexperienced players and GMs - what should we use?
We've tried Paranoia, but that mostly ends up in bickering over the semantics affecting their demises. We tend to fall back on D&D, but we're not comfortable with it, and as I mentioned the players have difficulty with the mechanics. Today alone we considered three alternative systems - we're having trouble choosing.

New Song, the traveling music ministry of Geneva College, is proud to announce its latest recording, Hallel. The title is taken from the Hebrew word meaning "praise."
To help worshipers continue to learn new arrangements from the recently-released Book of Psalms for Worship, New Song presents this album in a capella four-part harmony. The 18 tracks cover Psalms 113 – 118, traditionally noted as the songs sung by Jesus and his disciples at the Passover meal before his trial and crucifixion. All arrangements are from The Book of Psalms for Worship which Crown & Covenant Publications is promoting as "a psalter for the 21st century." This new psalter features familiar hymn tunes, traditional folk melodies and new compositions in newly translated versifications.
Both Hallel and The Book of Psalms for Worship are available for purchase through Crown & Covenant′s website at www.crownandcovenant.com.
New Song is a music and drama ministry sponsored by Geneva College. For 31 years New Song has traveled widely across the United States and around the globe. Nine students are chosen annually based on musical and dramatic abilities and on ability to articulate and convey the faith.
Geneva College is a comprehensive Christian college of the arts, sciences and professional studies. Founded in the tradition of the Reformed Christian faith, Geneva prepares students to serve Christ in all areas of society: work, family and the church. Geneva College′s philosophy of education is based on the Foundational Concepts of Christian Higher Education. Geneva is a founding member of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU).

Alex from Chicago asked how well I thought Jay Cutler would do with the Bears this year. I told him: "I've said it many times and I'll say it again — Cutler will make Bears fans remember Rex Grossman. He'll make just as many crazy passes but won't suffer the Grossman fate because Chicago's fan base is so in love with him that they will forgive the nutty throws he makes in ways that they never forgave Grossman." ....
Now I understand that fan scrutiny comes with the territory, so I don't mind that, but what I don't understand is why those fans are treating Cutler differently than they did either Grossman or Kyle Orton.
Grossman was on fire during the first part of Chicago's Super Bowl season, and yet as soon as he had the bad game against Miami, it seemed the entire city turned on him. It didn't go that much differently for Orton. He had a tremendous start to the 2008 season, but when he struggled down the stretch, the populace seemed to say goodbye and good riddance without much of a second thought.
I also don't understand why there seems to be such excitement about Cutler. Yes, he threw for over 4,500 yards last year, but that was in large part because he put the ball up a whopping 616 times. His 9.8 vertical YPA was lower than that of 19 other QBs last season, and his 4.6% bad decision rate (a bad decision being a mistake by the QB that leads to a turnover or a near turnover) was easily the worst of any QB. He was also the offensive leader for a team that blew a three-game division lead with three games to go. . . .
The only reason I can come up with as to why Bears fans are reacting like this is that the quarterback position has been such a headache for them over the years that they will do just about anything to make it go away. If that means ignoring Cutler's shortcomings so that at least one off-season goes by without having to wonder if their quarterback's play will measure up, they'll do it just for the temporary peace of mind. I do admire that kind of team passion and loyalty, but I'd admire it a bit more if it were done by hoping that Cutler could improve his game rather than by backing his mixed bag of performance history.
Note that he conflates two comparisons, and it's unclear what he's saying precisely. One is that Cutler is the better quarterback, but it is Chicago and thus his success will be pretty much on par with what the other Chicago QBs did. The other is that Cutler is simply no better of a quarterback than Grossman or Orton, and it only appears that way because he threw the ball so much.
My favorite passing stat is yards per attempt, because it sweeps in both completion percentage and the yards gained on the completion; I think it reflects the trade-off between pushing the ball downfield and taking the easier completion for less yardage. I like to adjust it, however, to account for interceptions: I subtract 45 yards for every interception thrown, as that is the basic estimate of how much field position/value you lose. No stat is perfect, but I like this one a lot.
- In 2008, Jay Cutler threw for 4,526 yards on 616 attempts. He also threw 18 interceptions. Together, that gives him an Adjusted Yards Per Attempt of 6.03.
- In 2008, Kyle Orton threw for 2,972 yards on 465 attempts, along with 12 interceptions. Together, his Adj. YPA was 5.23.
- In 2006, the year the Bears went to the Super Bowl, Rex Grossman threw for 3,193 yards on 480 pass attempts. He also threw 20 interceptions. Together, his Adj. YPA was 4.78.
Again, this is just one stat, but I think it's a pretty good indicator, and Cutler far and away scores the best. And, ironically, he does so despite so many more pass attempts: YPA tends to trend back down once a passer goes beyond being mostly a play-action type guy as a play off the ground game, like Ben Roethlisberger has been for much of his career.
Relatedly, let's take Advanced NFL Stats's "Air yards" stat, which calculates yards per attempt without reference to yards after the catch -- yards gained by receivers after they catch the ball. (This stat tends to both measure a QB's ability to complete downfield passes, as well as their propensity to check the ball down to a runningback. Young quarterbacks tend to score most poorly on the list because they struggle downfield and dump the ball off quite a bit.)
Cutler comes in at 7th in the league at 4.3 yards per attempt (again, just "Air yards"), while Orton is 29th with 3.3. In 2006, Grossman's was 3.9, and, in 2007 on much less work, it was 3.5. For comparison, Brady and Manning have spent most of the last few years hovering between 4.9-5.2 (though Peyton dipped to 4.3 this past season).
Having looked at these stats, I think the question is why does KC Joyner think Cutler will be no better than Grossman or Orton?

Kiondo bags and baskets are a Kenyan tradition, weaved with a special traditional technique. The knowledge of weaving is passed on from one generation to another. Each piece is handmade by skilled women in rural villages - our Team Kenya.
The core idea behind Mifuko stands in its name: in Swahili, 'mifuko' means pocket. With Mifuko, everyone is left with something valuable in their pocket. For the artisans in Kenya, it's fair pay, empowerment, and less dependence on unpredictable farming as a source of income. For Mifuko customers (that's you!), it's a unique piece that weaves together classic Nordic design, traditional Kenyan handcraft, and the story of a strong, independent woman whose signature you can find on the label.
Shoulder bags have two 70 cm / 27.5" leather handles.
As each bag is handmade the size and shape may vary. The bag diameter and/or height may be about 3 cm / 1" smaller or larger than indicated in the size chart below.

This exchange took place in the car on the way home today:
JBean: Yay! When JBug goes off to college, can I redecorate the room just for me, all to myself?
JBug: No! I will be living at home, forever, in the basement.
[to JBean:] JBug isn't going off to college, she is living at home for a while while she is IN college. Don't sell her off just yet...you two will still be sharing a room.
[to JBug;] You can't live in the basement; we don't have a basement. Besides, we have Basement Cats...there would be no room in the basement.
JBug: JBear will be living in the basement. Playing first-person shooter video games.
Me: Probably. You can live in the ceiling. We don't have a Ceiling Cat.

Asmara Putra Handcrafted sterling silver and gemstone jewelry
"My father always suggested that I live a simple and humble life because life is not only for the present day, but also for a bright future."
"I watched him and my mother craft silver jewelry ever since I was a boy. When I was in junior high school, they began teaching me our family art and I learned about materials, tools and techniques. After graduating with a English literature degree, I started setting up my own silver jewelry workshop.
"I really like Bali's engraving motifs, and I include them in most of the jewelry I craft. When I was just starting, people underestimated me, but I took everything as a positive improvement so I could improve my work.
"The more people criticized me, the more motivation I gained. I've learned by doing and by being aware of my past failures, until things finally became stable. I believe that by continuing to work hard, there is a way to find a satisfying result.
"My father always suggested that I live a simple and humble life because life is not only for the present day, but also for a bright future.
"I married my beautiful wife in 2016 and we have a son. Becoming a father means being responsible for my small family and improving our situation by working hard.
"I enjoy Bali's traditional music that my father plays. My hobby is playing tennis twice a week.
"I use sterling silver with gemstone beads to create jewelry designs that are different. I work with my wife and with the help of my friends who support my ideas."

Technology and Creativity Celebrated at the 11th Annual Adobe Design Achievement Awards
After just a few weeks into my new job at Adobe, I have already had the opportunity to travel to Taipei to attend the 2011 Adobe Design Achievement Awards (ADAA) ceremony. It's an amazing event – educators and student graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, animators, digital filmmakers, developers and computer artists came together from around the world to compete in the "world cup" of design. Simply put, I was just amazed by the creativity, quality, and design of the showcased work. Since this competition began in 2001, nearly 25,000 students across 73 countries have been involved. This year, for the first time in ADAA history, we also had the privilege of recognizing faculty in categories honoring teaching excellence.
A few things really stand out for me from the experience. First off, the winner from Taiwan, Sean Chang, is a gifted designer who won the Print Communications category. When asked about his message to other students around the world on using technology and design, his advice was, "Think big and outside the box. Have a positive impact on the world. And make sure that your design tells a story." Secondly, almost all of the students spent time talking about the role of design — in their words, "design is about making this a better world for all of us, people and environment." We could all learn from the terrific insights and pure passion displayed by the students and educators – I know I certainly did.
The winners and finalist projects will be showcased during the Taipei World Design Expo from October 22 through October 30 for the world's creative and technical luminaries to enjoy. Join us in congratulating the talented winners in each of the competition's 15 categories. We encourage you to check out the ADAA Gallery, a digital collection of not only this year's winners and finalists, but also projects from winners and finalists over the past 10 years. Click here for a recap of the winners and the evening's events.
We want to thank our partner for the third consecutive year, Icograda, as well as our prestigious judges and Master of Ceremonies, Lita Talarico, School of Visual Arts co-chair of the MFA program for continuing to help us recognize the best student and faculty creative leaders around the world.

We feel privileged and proud to honor such incredible work through the Adobe Design Achievement Awards!

I've been preaching about the risks the CDS market poses to the financial system for some time now. Since the monolines faux business model has been laid bare, we will start seeing some real action in this arena. For those who don't want to take my anecdotal quips as gospel, I actual go in depth through Reggie Middleton on the Asset Securitization Crisis Series - The Next Shoe to Drop: Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and Counterparty Risk - Beware what lies beneath!. A worth read for those not familiar with the Credit Default Sucker's market.
Now, to the point of the post. UBS is in a lot of hot water these days. Despite being eyeballs deep in rapidly disintegrating, highly leveraged trash assets they are also often in hot water. Reference the financial times:
In depth: UBS - Apr-01
UBS to replace four directors - Jul-01
US tax purge looks beyond Swiss bank - Jul-01
Lex: Taming Swiss banks - Jul-01
UBS faces legal move on tax evaders - Jul-01
UBS faces civil charges over securities sales - Jun-26
The growth in CDS market in the last few years has outstripped that of the US equity and bond markets
The credit derivatives market has grown at a remarkable pace as reflected from the tremendous increase in total notional amount outstanding over the last few years. The total notional amount of credit derivatives as of June 2007 increased to US$42.6 trillion, an increase of 109% over the US$20.4 trillion reported in June 2006. This has been driven by both the rise in single name CDS and the multi name CDS instruments. The significant rise in the multi name CDS (traded indices) has notably surpassed the growth in single name CDS. Single name CDS' total notional amount outstanding has increased from US$7.31 trillion in June 2005 to US$24.2 trillion in June 2007 while the multi name CDS has grown from US$2.9 trillion in June 2005 to US$18.3 trillion in June 2007.
Source: Thomson Research
The CDS market has outstripped the growth in every other US market reaching US$45 trillion in notional amount outstanding volume. According to ISDA, the notional amount outstanding of credit derivatives grew 32% in the first six months of 2007 to $45.46 trillion from $34.42 trillion. The annual growth rate for credit derivatives is 75% from $26.0 trillion at mid-year 2006 surpassing the US stock markets at US$21.9 trillion, the mortgage security market at US$7.1 trillion and the US treasuries market at US$4.4 trillion. The ability to bet on the financial health of the company directly in the CDS market (go long or short by buying or selling insurance protection) and the rise in speculative interest saw the rise in the CDS volumes.
Creation of colossal US$45 trillion CDS market may unfold into trouble larger than subprime crisis
The creation of the massive US$45 trillion CDS market in the last few years, which faces some unique problems, can unfold into a massive bubble collapse that would easily dwarf that of the subprime crisis. The CDS are supposed to cover the losses of banks and bondholders in the event of default by companies. However, the CDS market has evolved from being primarily a means to hedge credit risk to a speculative and trading platform for a large number of banks and hedge funds. If the corporate defaults surge in the coming quarters (as Reggie Middleton, LLC expects them to) or there is default in payments of coupon and principal amounts, this could lead to a crisis far worse than what we have seen so far in the current "asset securitization crisis" and quite possibly in the recent history of the financial system. The high yield default rate has increased significantly (125%) in the last few quarters from 0.4% in 1Q 07 to almost 0.9% in 1Q 08. In addition, the monolines which are under considerable stress and play the role of both counterparty as well as the reference entity in the CDS market could spell major trouble for the market participants.
Spectacular growth of credit risk transfer instruments
1 In trillions of US dollar. 2 Of BIS reporting banks; cross-border and local foreign currency claims. 3 Annualised. 4 Sum of cash tranche sizes by pricing date; includes only cash and hybrid structures. Hybrid portfolios consisting mainly of structured finance products different from cash CDOs are excluded. 5 Covers about 80% of index trade volume, according to CreditFlux Data+.
Source: IMF, CreditFlux Data, ISDA ; National Data; BIS Calculations
One of my recent favorites illustrates how UBS CDS foibles are starting to unfold. Excerpted from FT.com:
UBS asked Paramax Capital International to sell it protection on $1.3bn of the most highly rated slices of a CDO made up of subprime residential mortgages that the UBS investment bank underwrote. In general, by hedging the risk fully through the credit derivatives market, banks can remove such exposures from their balance sheets and do not have to set aside capital...Paramax claims that, from the beginning, the UBS hedge was cosmetic. In May 2007, when the original agreement was signed, the terms were a fraction of the market rate. Why agree to such thin terms? You put yourself at risk, no? Also, Paramax had only $200m under management and its agreements with its own investors limited it to commit no more than $40m to any single deal. Thus, it could never compensate UBS fully for any meaningful loss in value of the $1.3bn UBS was trying to insure, it claims. So, Paramax must be in the monoline insurance biz . I know, that was a low blow...
Paramax also claims that UBS told it that the bank would employ "subjective valuation methodologies" that meant it would not record any loss in value that could trigger calls for additional margin from Paramax... You set yourself up for this one fellas! Paramax also claims that UBS promised that if the lender needed a "real" hedge, it would tear up the agreement... I can't wait for this to be defined in court and made precedent. Let's repeat that again, " A "real" hedge"! I'll paraphase a huge part of the article for you. The market turned to shit, and the banks started to pretent that they had "real hedges" in place.
Now UBS is taking Paramax to court, seeking to compel it to pay up as the securities drop in value, alleging breach of contract. Paramax in turn is charging UBS with negligent misrepresentation. UBS said the bank was confident in the merits of its case. A lawyer for Paramax said its allegations were supported by both written and oral statements. The combination of subjective valuation and hedges that may not be real because counterparties cannot or will not pay goes way beyond UBS and Paramax. Oh boy, does it. Monolines, investment banks, commericial and mortgage banks, homebuilders mortage finance arms, leasing and consumer finance companies. I can really go on. Remember these posts, ya'll:
- I know who's holding the $119 billion dollar bag!
- Banks, Brokers, & Bullsh1+ part 1
- Banks, Brokers, & Bullsh1+ part 2
Remember, these CDS were used as hedges, and often support other positions. For instance, I buy a CDO, hedge it with Paramax (instead of a "real hedge"), then take the freed up (should have been reserved) capital from the hedge and do another nonsense leveraged deal with it using less than optimal capital because it was "hedged"with a Credit Default Sucker" (sorry about that, I meant swap). I then keep going on until I have maxed out my leverage, which is only indicated at 20 to 35x on my 10Q, but the actual leverage is much more when you consider my use of Credit Default Suckers! Again, reference Banks, Brokers, & Bullsh1+ part 2 for how quickly this can build up.
For example, in one case the seller of credit protection discovered that the final agreement on insuring a portfolio of collateralised debt obligations had never been signed, either by it or a French bank which in this case was buying protection. Now, with the meltdown in that market, the seller has returned all the premium payments to the buyer and torn up the agreement, saying that because it was never signed, it has no legal obligation to pay up...
No need to fret, Paulson and a bevvy - I mean a plethora - of financial CEOs state that the worst is behind us... If you want to see leverage, risk and overvaluation - that is actually lauded and applauded by both the press and Wall Street, stay tuned for my next post on the Golden Boys...
