A state court judge ruled that not only could money be collected from Barronelle's business, but also from her personally. Rob Ingersoll alleged $7.91 of out-of-pocket expenses to find a different florist. An additional fine of $1000 was also alleged, but the judge ruled that Stutzman also had to pay all legal fees. At one point, it was speculated this could be over $190,000. Since Barronelle was found to be personally liable, she asserted that in her 70's she potentially could lose her home and savings because of the lawsuit.

Campers enjoy swimming in the 6,500 square foot Aquatics Center at Dana Hall, featuring a 25-yard, six-lane pool for recreational and competitive swimming.
We use LINX safety rated submerged docks for our youngest campers so they can stand during instruction!
Our PeeWee Explorers (Full day campers who are 3 and 4 year olds) receive lessons 4 days per week - no free swim
Boys and girls locker rooms are available for changing and storing camper belongings.
While our staff is certified and trained to work with all swim levels, they are truly gifted when it comes to working with PeeWees (3 - 5 years) and Minors (K - 1st Grade). Their nurturing approach is comforting to campers who are encouraged to participate and play. Practicing and teaching water safety is the top priority at all times. We maintain one swim instructor for every five swimmers. Additionally, counselors join their campers in the water, or pool side to help maintain an even greater level of supervision. Swim staff remain in the water during lessons to ensure each campers safety as they always remain alert and within arms reach of their swimmers. We train our counselors to think and care for campers like parents!

There are times when chickens need to be separated from the flock for their own good, and other times when sentencing to solitary confinement may do harm.
Here's how to judge which is which, and a suggestion as to how to set up a suitable place.
If you purchase a product through links on this page, I receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. My integrity and your satisfaction are very important to me, so I only recommend products I have purchased or would purchase myself and which I believe would benefit you. To learn more please see my affiliates disclosure document.
This is quite a long page, so these are links to the different sections if you want to get information quickly.
A quick list of what you'll need.
When confinement should be completely solitary.
When confinement can mean containing but not separating.
Setting up a suitable place to keep a chicken confined.
What does not work as a suitable container?
What's the best thing to use for solitary isolation?
It's not automatically a good idea to separate a bird from the rest of the flock. Re-integrating them again can be a problem - and chickens are sociable creatures. They don't like being by themselves.
But there are times when it's not just a good idea to keep one apart from other flock members - it's a must-do. Here are some reasons.
1. Any new flock members : If you introduce new birds from outside your own flock you need to keep them quarantined for at least two weeks. That is enough time to allow any diseases or illnesses to become apparent. Mixing them in with your existing hens straight away runs the risk of introducing disease - even if you think you can trust whoever you bought them from.
2. Chickens bought from a show : It's particularly important to observe quarantine if you buy from a show. Don't assume show birds will be disease free - so many in close proximity to each other can be a breeding ground for bacteria which may not become obvious for several days.
3. Wheezing chickens : If you have any of your own hens who are displaying any signs of bronchial problems, you will need to keep them separate and apart. Coughing, sneezing and wheezing are all tell-tale signs.
4. Birds who look unwell : It's not always easy to tell what's wrong with a chicken. Sometimes they just appear listless and 'hunched up' without there being an obvious reason. In those circumstances I would also choose to isolate until I'm sure it's not going to be a problem for the rest of my flock.
5. Other things I would isolate for are when a chicken is 'hunched over' and / or fluffed up; if their poop has any signs of blood; if their comb and / or wattles are looking particularly pale; if they aren't eating or, importantly, drinking; if their breathing is laboured; if they're 'panting' - breathing heavily through an open beak.
If you've ever had to introduce newcomers to your flock you'll know that it's not an easy task. It affects the pecking order and it can create sometimes quite unpleasant battles. The same applies to re-introducing a bird who has been away from the flock for longer than a day or so.
So removing a chicken completely from the rest of the flock is best avoided if it can be. These are circumstances where it may be necessary to separate, but not isolate, your flock members.
1. A bully : Any chicken who is deliberately bullying others may need to be removed from the flock for a while but it's very important s/he's kept within sight and sound of them.
2. Non-contagious illness : A bird who is unwell for any reason other than a potentially transmitting illness, for example an injury to its leg or wing, or a prolapsed vent. The individual will need time away from the flock to avoid being bullied, pecked or trampled, but does not need to be taken away from them altogether. He or she just needs a place of safety for a while.
3. Any signs of injury or bleeding : Chickens are ruthless and the fact that they're attracted to red items means that, no matter how long they've lived together, any sign of blood will lead to pecking and can ultimately cause death. This would apply to a bird who, for example, has had an injury caused by a sharp object.
Here's an example : this little bantam Sablepoot roo had injured his leg and wasn't able to move. Before I found him, the flock had recognised weakness and pecked at his comb. He needed isolating to allow his leg to heal and to prevent further injury as his friends would be attracted to peck the bloodied parts.

Blouse – TJ Maxx | Cardigan – Lucky Brand (similar) | Pants – Target | Shoes – Bandolino | Necklace – Overstock.com
Years ago I had a pair of burgundy/oxblood/wine colored pants from The Limited. I wore those things like crazy. But, I almost always wore them with a black top. I got rid of them when that color went out of style and because they no longer fit.
Funny how things come back around, isn't it? When I realized burgundy was going to be one of the trendy colors this fall I went out and bought a burgundy skirt and then decided I need a new pair of burgundy pants. When I saw these at Target I decided they fit the bill perfectly. And for less than $30? Sold!
This time, though, I'm planning to wear them with more than just black. I have lots of ideas on my Pinterest inspiration board that I'm looking forward to trying.
Are you planning to wear burgundy this fall?

Ordered the rear jk driveshaft in November, ordered the front last month. So glad these are offered. The factory CV style joints were not happy in my Jeep. I was amazed at how smooth these are and how much of a difference they really made in my jk.
Posted by Joe Dalton on 12th Dec 2019
The whole experience was great. I researched drive shafts for a while and decided the Adams 1310 would likely handle what I will most likely throw at it (we'll see! I'm pretty confident). The install was as expected from the video. I still called the guys at Adams a couple times for clarification on whether I ought to replace the pinion yoke at the front dif, and also on how to avoid over-tightening the nut. They answered the phone and were super helpful. You know I'm going with Adams if I have a need in the future.
Posted by James Przybylski on 18th Nov 2019
Fast amazing service, top notch quality parts couldn't ask for better experience. Driveshaft showed up as promised packed amazing well. Went in without any issues cant wait to actually have time to go and test it out k the trails
Posted by Mike on 22nd Aug 2019
This is an excellent product for serious off-roading. Just the attention to detail of the drive-shaft is enough to inspire confidence. Add to the fact that it easily clears the JK exhaust at full droop for any lift over ~2.5", and this becomes a must have product.
The only complaint I have is the same one posted by Andrew - The instructions are not complete if you are replacing the yokes at both ends of the shaft. As Andrew pointed out, you can review the instructions for the rear drive shaft install to get what you need. The only difference being that the center nut is a 1 1/8 socket, not the 1 5/16 listed in the rear instructions (at least that's the case for the '15 JKU).
Posted by Jess on 23rd Jul 2019
This is the best driveshaft for off-roading. The stock one on my JKU in hard flex hit the exhaust, they designed this one to not hit. I would recommend this driveshaft to anyone!
Posted by James D Strickland on 1st May 2018
So far,so good. Parts arrived well packed, with a link video for installation. Easy install, and is a great improvement over the stock,non-serviceable JK driveline.

Bought this to replace my stock DS on my lifted Rubi that I wasn't able to use the sway bar disconnect on because it was hitting the pipe. The DS not only clears, but confidently handles the extreme angles. The DS came well-packaged and arrived quickly (in less than a week). I highly recommend Adams.
Posted by Austin on 5th Apr 2017
I received my 1310 driveshaft very quickly. All the items were packed very well, and it was in perfect shape when I received it. I did have to call and change the shipping address. It was an easy fix. Also, I really like the fact that Adams sent a t-shirt, most companies don't do that. I will definitely be order a rear 1310 drive shaft from them soon.
Posted by Randy Sannes on 25th Jan 2017
Very well built, took away all vibration I was having with stock drive shaft. It was a pleasure dealing with Adams! Will definitely be purchasing rear drive shaft in the future from Adams.
Posted by JOUST on 21st Jan 2017
Ordered my front shaft Friday before MLK Monday and received it Wednesday.
Great quality shaft and yolks easy to install. Even got a free tshirt and sticker.

Gallery Tom Christoffersen positions itself as a gallery at the heart of Scandinavian contemporary art. We aim to present, map, and experiment with the youngest generation on the international art scene. Our scope of interest is broad, but our aim is narrow: To show what we find innovative and progressive and to contribute to the on-going debate and discussion of art as culture as well as a commodity.
Curatorial wise, our line is mainly two-fold:
We aim to further the interest in contemporary photography and video art, which, although often critically acclaimed, to a great extent suffers from the art market's commercial conservatism.
Our second priority is young international painting. Although proclaimed dead as a genre a multitude of times, we strive to present how painting these years blooms with thematic variance and interesting formal expression as never before.
Presenting an average of ten exhibitions of new young art a year, we also sell a wide variety of Scandinavian and international art from the early 1980s until today.

She's back on the box! Cheryl Cole will make stylish TV comeback as guest star on fashion show
Cheryl Cole is set to make her television comeback in a new fashion show produced by Rihanna.
The 29-year-old beauty and singer Katy Perry are among those who will guest star in new series Styled To Rock, which is billed as a search for the next big design star.
Miss Cole's Girls Aloud band mate Nicola Roberts is a mentor on the Sky Living show, along with British designer Henry Holland and stylist Lysa Cooper.
Scroll down for video
Back on the box: Cheryl Cole will star as a guest on the new fashion show Styled To Rock
But Miss Cole is among the music stars to appear as a guest judge setting the aspiring hopefuls a creative task before selecting who is best.
The Scissor Sisters, The Saturdays, Pixie Lott, Rizzle Kicks, Tinchy Stryder, Little Mix, Katy B, and Little Boots, are among the others appearing as guest judges.
Twelve hopefuls, selected by Rihanna, will compete to win the series and get a chance to design a unique stage outfit for her London concert.
Each guest artist will set a challenge for the contestants to create outfits they can wear at a variety of important occasions, including a multitude of live performances, shoots and high-profile events.
Joining the team: Katy Perry will also appear on the show
A spokesman said: 'There's no room for mistakes – these are very real briefs – no musical artist wants a fashion disaster on their hands in front of merciless photographers and harsh fashion critics.
'Styled To Rock will celebrate the extraordinary talent and creativity in the British fashion scene, and search for the next generation of Britain's most promising fashion designers.'
Rihanna is executive producer on the programme and will appear throughout the series to give advice and critique the work.
She chose Miss Roberts, who is often seen on the front row at shows at London Fashion Week, to appear on the show because of their mutual love of clothes.
Fashion friends: Lysa Cooper, Henry Holland and Nicola Roberts spent last night at the Styled To Rock launch party at the Soho Hotel in London
The Girls Aloud star said: 'Rihanna couldn't have been more lovely, she's a real laugh. We all hit it off and had so much fun.'
'She's truly original. She portrays what she wants to portray through her clothes, and it changes all the time. And that's something I try to do.'
Miss Cole has said she will focus on her music career rather than television after a disastrous turn on The American X Factor.
She was dropped after just four days work and refused offers to return to the UK version, on which she became a household name in her own right.
The axe factor: Cheryl was cut from the US version of the X Factor after failing to emulate her success on the UK show
But earlier this year she performed tracks from her new album on BBC1 show The Voice.
She said in a recent interview: '[Before] The music always played second fiddle to everything else in my life. So this time it's great to have the music as my number one priority.
Asked if she would consider returning to The X Factor she said: 'No. I just wouldn't. The next year is mapped out. It's all about the music, I'm not interested in anything else. I want to concentrate only on that.'
• Styled to Rock will begin on Sky Living on August 14th at 9pm.

The ARC City/ In-Harmony System is an amalgamation of a highly efficient building structure that comprises residential, recreation and work; with a specially designed exterior environment which supports human habitation that co-exists with Nature.
We have to change the way we live. Our cities are basically the same organizational pattern as 6,000 years ago. The only change is that now we have almost 7 billion people using great amounts of energy! The Earth will not support this density and intensity.
TheARCCity/ In-Harmony System is a totally unique re-invention of how people live. By living in a concentrated, organized way, we can have plenty of land and naturalness around us. It is only in low and medium density living that we are over-crowding the Earth. Our present cities don't work. It is time for a change!
The overall ARC City/ In-Harmony System design accomplishes the following:
- Reduction of energy use to 15% of current U.S. cities
- Collection of Renewable Energy and Storage for independent use 24×7
- Elimination of car, trucks and roads
- Local food production & community storage
- Close-loop nutrient recycling back into fields
- Rainwater collection system and storage
- Reduced water usage through grey water recycling
- Natural building ventilation
- Geothermal Heat Pump system
- Multiple use waste distribution system
- Natural waste processing by Jack Todd "living machines" hydroponics
- Elimination of solid waste generation.
- Environmentally controlled Greenhouses for 365 day food production
- Permanent bed, organically grown food in greenhouses, field & orchard crops
- Fish and Algae food production in adjacent lakes
- Exercise and recreational sports fields, both inside and out.
- Triple ring of canals for flood protection and ground water control
- Site Perimeter Boundary Wall and exterior "buffer zone" for protection
- Underground trains to move food into city & people out
- Underground tunnels to parks
- Point-to-Point Elevated Mass transit of people to nearby cities
- Underground subway trains to connect with other cities
- Machine shops to fabricate furniture and clothes in city and effect repairs of the City
- Zero-carbon emission
Background on Urban Planning
Let's examine what is a city. According to Urban Planning Professor, Herbert Girardet, (Co-Founder of World Future Council), in his book The Gaia Atlas of Cities "Cities are more than static structures of stone and concrete. They are vast processors of food, fuels, and the many raw materials that feed a civilization. With their complex metabolisms they are huge organisms without precedent in nature." In other words, cities are alive existing more like a cell or tissue (cluster of cities).
With their long history of development and evolution, cities have been created by kings and financiers for control of people and environment; storage and protection of wealth. Cities generate a profit for these rulers by having a more efficient use of time and materials than can be created in a dispersed manner, in the countryside. It is an attempt at organization, but is it the best form of organization both for human productivity and harmony with Nature?
Cities have surreptitiously grown in contour patterns next to hills and rivers or in grid patterns out in flat areas. With exception of high heat areas, cities seldom journey down more than two or three floors into the ground. Instead the climb, originally up to about 5 stories and after the elevator appeared they went upward to the heavens. In all cases, cities are thought of mostly on a materialistic level to generate profit. Their layout and plan has seldom involved the concept of it being a living entity. Water systems appeared thousands of years ago, but it wasn't until less than 150 years ago that adequate sanitation systems were even considered and implemented to prevent illness through the proper disposal of waste away from the living environment. Even today, most urban planners show little consciousness regarding the human environment and certainly not relating the city environment to Nature. I know of no city design that allows ecological harmony to flow through or around human habitation.
Rather, cities need to be defined organically as having input elements of food, water, air (oxygen), raw materials for work (cargo), and building materials to make the city larger. Through the process of human work the city creates finished goods (merchandise), more buildings, waste (solid and liquid) as well as expired gases like CO2, SO2, NO2 and CH4.
If cities can be loosely defined as a multi-celled organism, then we need to view this quasi-organism for life support including energy gain and loss. We need to examine a city by dimension (metropolis is say 10 miles by 60 miles with a thickness of 0.005 miles (2 story). It is very flat! Can any object live on the Earth with that shape and exposure to heat and cold? NO!!! They might occur as a tapeworm inside a temperature regulating host or in the ocean, but certainly not on the land exposed to open environment. The most efficient shape for surface to volume is a sphere. However it is not practical with gravity. A cone or pyramid is very good due to reduced flat roof exposure and loss of heat. Better yet is a truncated cone with a dome in the center.
In terms of food transfer, our sprawling city forms are very inefficient. Food and water must be transferred great distances to the extreme points of the city. Most cities today do not grow food internally and must rely up external food sources. That further adds to the energy requirements to transport food to the city, and then distribute it to all living elements. Where people used to grow their own food, now they don't have the space or knowledge to do so. They are told to move into the city and be dependant on others to provide sustenance.
Water systems have been developed to control the source of water and force a sale of this nourishment of life to all inhabitants. Yet, rainwater, which is basically pure distillation quality, is ignored and allowed to run off our roofs and down the street as if it is valueless. Rainwater collection was used throughout history and has only replaced as we have been psychologically conditioned to only buy water from a bottle or a pipe.
Now we must consider the validity and operation of our new synergetic living system.
THE PREMISE– reducing human presence on the Earth to allow nature to restore itself. This premise was demonstrated at Chernobyl, Ukraine after the nuclear reactor accident a 188 sq. mile area was sequestered from human activity with the creation of the Exclusion Zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power station. As humans were evacuated from the area 25 years ago, existing animal populations multiplied and rare species have returned or have been reintroduced, such as the lynx, wild boar, wolf, Eurasian brown bear, and the European bison. The Exclusion Zone is so abundant with wildlife and greenery that the Ukrainian government designated it a wildlife sanctuary in 2007. These are the principles of Deep Ecology that the Earth is resplendent with Life and is balanced when human presence is eliminated.
THE VISION – We offer hope for the future with a new way of living. Anthropogenic activities have been increasing for the last 6,000 years to a current level that now affect the ability of the Earth the regenerate and restore itself for human life and all other life. The term "Sustainable Development" has been abused so that it has no meaning.
Under the current reality of human civilization, every form of development takes away from the ecological system and disallows the presence of Nature. It is time that responsible humans commit to a policy of retraction and containment so that all forms of life may flourish. To that end we are proposing this concept of an entirely new way to Live!
Time is of the Essence! The concept of ecological cities has been existent for over twenty years in the U.S., Europe and Australia. Yet, it has gained very little acceptance. It was an incubating concept that never hatched and grew. As the Earth's environmental degradation becomes more obvious, people will begin to realize that drastic change in lifestyle is necessary. This change will need to be much more radical that what has been currently proposed. When these Earth Change accelerate in frequency and intensity as it happen now, we must have our SYSTEM readied and in place as the most complete and ecologically viable alternative future. Time will be running short. At that point there will be race to build these new living systems all over the world. We will have to create a contingency plan for a number of survival enclaves located in the Southern Hemisphere.
THE TEAM – We are assembling a team of concerned professionals who will:
- Examine, review and improve upon the original concept
- Establish the legal and financial criteria for the organization to operate
- Create an education program that will disseminate these ideas to:
- public
- government
- corporation
- scientists

It is with full realization and humbleness that I realize this idea for a new living system that has been derived from many diverse disciplines. I may be construed as a "Jack-of-all-Trades". However, I am the first one to admit that in any given field there are many people more knowledgeable. I am looking for all of you to apply your great wisdom in specific areas to improve upon what I have synthesized. I am sharing this vision with all of you and invite you to make it your vision also.
The goal of further analysis is to improve the design, find flaws, fill in the gaps and make this theory more technically accurate so that exports in many fields can view it and find it flawless.

As stated earlier, a city should be defined as a living cell or tissue. A comparative analysis to a eukaryote cell shows many similarities to the nucleus being like the city, the perimeter walls like the outer membrane and the mitochondria as the factories producing work and the greenhouses absorbing outside energy. Even tunnels connecting activities outside the nucleus, but inside the walled membrane relate to eukaryote structure. The comparison is important to understanding the synergetic relationship of the City to the most basic forms of life.
History has demonstrated hundreds of times that cities grow by expanding their outer perimeter, if not contained; and by occupying as much land with increasing density as possible. Cities grow over a period of time from the boundaries of major land holders who then sub-divide their land into smaller parcels with interconnecting roads. This all leads to hundreds of buildings that replace open space. It is similar to malignant cancer growth which usually results in death of the host.
The ARC City remedies this problem by fixing the outer boundary with a perimeter wall and builds one structure in or near the center that does not grow larger once it is built. It is contained. No other human occupancy building is allowed to be built within the site. By doing this there can be no temptation by developers to seek variances to build further housing or commercial structures on the site. This is similar to a benign tumor that is contained and does not kill the host.
An example of an ecological city going wrong is Auroville, India. It started with only two buildings with the rest of the property developed as gardens both food and flowers. Demand was so great to live there that more and more structures were built. Today all food must be imported as there is little room for food gardens to occur. Sprawl came to Auroville, the world's first eco-city.
Each city-structure should be located so that:
- It does not use the best farmland
- There will hopefully be no underground rivers or streams that will create problems of water intrusion into basement levels
- There is good air flow
- There is good insolation (days of sunlight)
- There is adequate rainfall (min 15"/yr)
- This is not in an area of increasing desertification
- There is room to create other cities nearby to create clusters
- Some locations will be tourist destination for natural beauty
- Each site must have between 4,000 acres in tropics to 7,000 acres in temperate zones
The ARC City is a high-density, mega-structure designed to concentrate its human population (20,000 to 25,000 people) into a culturally, comfortable space. Space is relevant to pre-existent norms of each society. In other words, space in the US for upper class will vary to lower class. Space in Europe will differ to that in the US, Japan, China or India. The relationship of Residential Areas to the Common Areas and that of Work Areas will vary depending on the designation of the City as mining, manufacturing, agricultural or shipping. It will also be relevant to the wealth of the city in terms of inter-city trading.
Sizes of the city can vary from 1200' diameter down to 850' diameter. The Height can vary from 18-30 floors in height above the Common Area. Likewise, the Common Area may have 2 to 5 floors depending recreation demand, schools and hospitals. Underground Areas may vary depending upon maintenance requirements (self-sufficient fabrication) storage and factory facilities.
The structure of the City is made of concrete with twelve major walls radiating equal distance from the center to the outside. These walls are massive shear walls. The floors are slabs and beams that become diaphragms transferring floor loads laterally into the walls and vertically by way of periodic columns down to the foundation. The round shape of building works with interior and exterior bond beams into a tension-compression relationship that dynamically transfers torsion back into the floor diaphragm. The exterior sloping wall is actually a series of vertical walls sitting on top of the floor slab diaphragms.
The Shape – Aerodynamic, seismic resistant with integrated horizontal and vertical load compensation, no vertical walls like cliff (shaped like a mountain), round like nature
Ventilation –emulating termite mounts – (Arup Eng. Uses same model)
The center of the City is open to allow airflow from the subterranean areas rising upward through internal expansion to a focal leaf vent at the top. There would be several giant booster fans that will be auxiliary to the natural ventilation.
Fresh air is introduced from two methods. During warm and cold weather, duct towers located inside the Inner Canal on each of the sloped berms route air downward into the cooling chamber. The ducted air is brought down into the chamber under to bottom of the City where a giant cistern stores cooled water. A heat exchanger radiator system allows the air to pass through and be cooled to approximately the mean annual temperature of the surrounding land. During moderate weather air can be directly drawn into the building at each floor with louvered control intakes.
Scale Similar to European Village
Transportation is accomplished by means of many high speed elevators located throughout the structure. There would be 8 elevators for each of the 12 wedged segments totaling 96 units that traverse between the first floor of the Common Area to the top of the Office Area. In high-end economic cities there will be 12 elevators that connect the Penthouse Residential Area to the Office Area. There are short elevators that connect the Common Area levels and additional elevators that rise through Underground Areas to the Common Areas.
Walking would be the major form of all horizontal movement with ramps also being provided for wheelchair use. Walking is important for health. Yet in most existing modern cities walking has become outmoded by the use of cars. In many places, walking can be dangerous due to proximity to cars, uneven or non-existent sidewalks or mugging.
Pedestrian Circulation
Internally, floor access is based on elevators. Egress and movement will radiate from the elevator locations by each shear wall. Patterns of movement are relative to each floor and can vary tremendously to each building design. Each residential floor will have observation balconies located at the outside edge of each floor accessed by hallways. Once there, the balconies have enclosed viewing space as well as open air. Views at these balconies will be of the adjacent parks. No other buildings can be seen until the next 30-40 story city pops up 5-8 miles away.
Top of the Building at the Dome seat offers unique opportunities for the Top Observation Deck looking outward on the land. Under the Dome, we have detailed several levels of garden decks that may or may not have limited access from the elevators that go up to the Office Area and to the Top Deck.
Common Areas, may be anywhere from two to four floors with much more open space and movement with wide aisles. Each floor will have different patterns and different stores, restaurants and health facilities. The upper floor is dedicated to schools and research with more linear access on straight aisles.
Externally, the City has several perimeter walkways. The primary level of the Common Area has a major exit doors at each of the 12 segments. There are also secondary exits that are located halfway between each of the prime exits. Once passing through the exterior walls there is a continuous enclosed area, called Outer Vestibule 45' wide that circumnavigates the exterior. . Exiting out the main exterior Façade Entrances there is a 25' wide concrete walkway called the Upper Perimeter Walkway that traverses the building at this main level. From this Walkway there are 12 arching ramps to allow people to access the parks outside. It also works as a security barrier to invasion. The only way into the entrances is up the ramps in view of City defenses
Within the Outer Vestibule are many lounge areas for people to meet, mingle and have a quick bit of food from portable food vendors. There are elevators here that access lower levels of the Bermed Canopy, light retail stores, the Lower Perimeter Walkway and work areas below ground for Food Processing and Food Storage.
Integration of the City to the Land- We must develop a way to allow a high density human environment to live adjacent to Nature. We will do this through a graduated decrease in human activity. In the case of the ARC City, we create a defining barrier of the Inner Canal. This acts to prevent transfer of humans and nature, it is a boundary. Outside the Inner Canal we start integrating humans with nature by having parks with lakes, canals, numerous paths, hills, valleys, trees, shrubs and lawns. Where the ARC City has 100% human activity in high density (25,000 people in 18 acres, 24×7), the parks have intermittent activity (6,000 people in 450 acres, 3 hour x 7 days) that decreases as the distance increases from the City.
The parks are considered mixed use in that there will be limited human presence with lakes containing fish, amphibians, insects & birds. Other lakes will be used for algae production. The parks land area will have many permanent natural residents selected to inhabit the biome, as well as migratory birds and birds from off-site that come in to visit.
Greenhouse Food Production
The Greenhouse Area is the main life support system for the City providing food and water. Rather than transporting food from long distance, requiring great energy use and low community labor (2%) we use labor intensive activities (1,500 gardeners) with electric, power assisted small machines to improve efficiency of operation. Greenhouses will be designed to the latitude and altitude of each city. The buildings will be double-walled and insulated with heat from the city building and lighting for the winter that will allow food to be grown all year. The greenhouses have boundary canals on both sides and are elevated to prevent flooding from heavy rains. Along with heated floors, air ducts can bring exhausted air from inside the building into sealed compartments.
With over 1,000 acres of greenhouses, we will use a common gutter roof system that will allow only 13" of rainwater to provide every person at least 65 gallons of pure water each day. Our system separates brown water from yellow water with two-part toilets and urinals. Yellow water is sanitized and distributed on crops with drip irrigation. Brown water and food waste will be decomposed, heat cured and dried. It will then be applied as mulch.
The soil of the greenhouses will primarily be permanent bed with underground heating lines of warm water. The beds will have drainage tiles to allow excess water to be drained off. We will encourage a multitude of micro-organic life from earthworms, pin worms, mycelium and forms of char-wood. Reinvigoration of the soil with natural micro flora and fauna will allow return of the primal state to the soil.
There will be 8 radiating canals from the center city to the perimeter. Under the canals will be a tunnel that allows people to travel out into the fields without facing temperature, rain & snow or possibly toxic air. On each side of the canal will be two food processing chutes to drop food down to the train food containers. Once a container is full it is sent to the city building, with the container being transferred onto a perimeter track where it is taken to processing.
Field Crops
The area for fields crops will cover over 2,200 acres. Since we do not know the exact locations and condition of the soil, it will be assumed that the site will be commercial farm land with subsequent soil contamination from chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Soil remediation and restoration techniques should be employed to neutral the chemicals. An alternative would be to fallow the land for at three years. The area where field crops will be grown should not have too much disturbance from foundation excavation, the exception being trenched areas for tunnels and canals.
Most field crops are annuals and require planting, weeding and harvesting. With permanent bed plantings the seeds will need to be drilled into a friable soil. With this area being permanent bed and minimum of soil disturbance during the year, human impact will be greatly reduced.
Orchard and Vineyard Crops
There would be almost 1000 acres of permanent bed tree crops that do not have soil disruption. The trees will have annual applications of mulch and a grassy cover planting that will stabilize the soil and prevent wind erosion. Nutrients will be added by way of subsurface drip irrigation. Earthworm development will be encouraged and new worms will be applied after frosts have ceased. Again these areas will have far less human impact on subsoil life once the new plantings have been establish and become permanent.
Renewable energy generation is relative to the location of the City.
Wind is relative to the specific area of wind flow.
Geothermal is relative to the depths of sub-surface heat
Solar is relative to insolation values of the site for latitude and cloud cover.
Hydro or micro-hydro may possibly generate power.
The solution is creating much less energy demand (through efficiency methods) and storing power, when available in quantities that will last a long period of time.
Energy storage is the solution when modeled for the limited energy of a population of 25,000. The solution is an isolated in-ground tank near the city that will store large quantities of electrical energy based on nanotechnology placed into a flow-battery format.
Waste is the key to the entire system. There can be no waste. What we take from the land must be returned to the land! We bury no solid waste and we do not inject any liquid waste! There are chemical and biological solutions to all pathways. An important concept is to create fewer and fewer situations that need to be mitigated. In other words, reducing a complex society to a more efficient simplified society is the answer. An example of this is that for 4,000 pound automobile produced requires almost 50,000 pounds of waste products. Eliminating a billion cars and trucks eliminates 50 TRILLION pounds of waste by-products.
Recycling simple organic waste is easier than breaking down complex compound chemicals. Creating closed loop systems of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and oxygen within our site is most advantageous. Recycling by using natural systems of plants, enzymes, fungi and bacteria are superior to most other ways. We shall try to use methods developed by Dr. John Todd to accomplish much of this.
- Sewage will flow by gravity to processing plants at the far corners of the property
- All liquid chemicals entering the drain system will be bio-degradable so that heavy metals & synthetics chemicals will be eliminated
- Purifying & Processing techniques will use microbes and enzymes to breakdown sewage sludge.
- After purifying the sludge it is naturally cured with heat under plastic mulch and air-dried
- Each batch is tested and certified to be safe for food
- It is then taken to the greenhouses, field crops and fruit crops and placed as cover mulch so earthworms can transport them down into the soil
Concepts of Security
- Security is the degree of protection against danger, damage, loss, and criminal activity.
- Security as a form of protection are structures and processes that provide or improve security as a condition.
- Social stability is intermittently broken by thieves, robbers and muggers who do not recognize the sanctity of boundaries and hence try to intrude. They must not be permitted this intrusion.
- The future stability of a society is unknown. There may come a time when the rule of "Law and Order" disintegrates. The ensuing chaos must be halted.
- Creation of walls is the best passive form of protection from both forms of intrusion
Modern Perimeter Walls
- An outer defensive wall system is put in place to extend this Concept of Security.
- It is not the intent of the ARC Cities to fight or resist modern armies. Rather our Security Walls are designed to repel local marauders and thugs during periods of social breakdown and chaos.
- Walls and fortified wall structures are still built in the modern era. They do not, however, have the original purpose of being a structure able to resist a prolonged siege or bombardment.
- Walls may only be crossed by entering the appropriate city gate and are often supplemented with towers.
- Most of the "modern" city walls are made of steel and concrete. Vertical concrete plates are put together so as to allow the least space in between them, and are rooted firmly in the ground. The top of the wall is often protruding and beset with barbed wire in order to make climbing them more difficult. These walls are usually built in straight lines and covered by watchtowers at the corners. Double walls, i.e. two walls with an interstitial "zone of fire" can be used successfully.
- We will establish an "outer buffer zone" outside of the main Perimeter Wall. This space, about 0.5-0.8 miles in width will be a grazing area for animal production as well as some grain production. There will be dense layers of trees that will also impede vehicle movement. Within this zone will be sensors and cameras to identify intruders.
- The edge of the "outer buffer zone" will be demarked by a large sub-surface canal that will prohibit most entry by vehicles and individuals.
- Because the mobile offensives practiced by both sides usually focused on avoiding the strongest points of a defensive line, these defenses were usually relatively thin and spread along the length of a line. The defense was usually not equally strong throughout however. With the advent of automatic computer controlled weaponry, much of the personal needed upon attack can be set for fast response from nearby garrisons.
- Response from light aircraft attack can be rebuffed with automatic fire from Perimeter wall turret using electric cannons.
- The terrain that was being defended was of primary importance because open terrain that tanks or fortified vehicles could move over quickly made possible rapid advances into the defenders' rear areas that were very dangerous to the defenders. Thus such terrain had to be defended at all cost.
Once the Design Concept of the ARC City/ In-Harmony System has been tested, analyzed and re-written, it will then be necessary to create complex marketing package.
Our first target is generating funding through Grants & Corporate Sponsorship/Partnerships. Then we will need to address marketing to various groups of people in many different countries. To do so the Concept will need to take on many different faces. Each face will must be comfortable to that specific audience. That will take the work of marketing and public relations people. It will also need economists and financial experts to put their spin on the system to show people in the world of socio/ economic power that this Concept is viable!
We will need to prove to the Rulers of the Earth that an ecologically sustainable system can work economically on a slow stable growth pattern of 1% – 2%. However, it will be necessary for the human race to re-stabilize its population to a size of 500 million to 1 billion. Population levels must stabilize at close to zero growth. That will take education and discipline of humans to be a part of world (natural balance) while having a bio-engineered environment that allows for food security. That is the continuum of the In-Harmony System as it reaches across the two realms of Natural Reality and Bio-Engineered Reality.

It's been far too long since I've done a blog post and my only excuse is that I have been away and have been frantically trying to contribute to other blogs, and I have been twittering everything anyway.
But essentially…. I have been to Corfu where I spent a fabulous four days with the lovely Deb Polson. I have some great pics, but not enough of Corfu Old Town. I also had a great time learning some basic phrases in Greek, and feel confident about getting around Greece with my rudimentary skills! Deb has been doing wonderful things with her latest projects in mobile learning, and will be presenting in London at the forthcoming Handheld Learning Conference.
I've also been trying to get on top of a client project at work. I'm not allowed to release many details as yet, but I will as soon as I can. The good news is that it's nearly done, and I can get on to some other pet projects.
I'm also preparing for two new conferences at which I am to present; the Social Media for Business Conference in Buckinghamshire in October and a Media Literacy conference in Scotland in November. I'm also trying to get a group of social media advocates in London to form a loose collective of experts advising on the London 2012 Olympics. While London probably won't be able to compete with Beijing on organisation, it certainly does have an opportunity to provide a rich narrative event and it's the social media mafia who could get that happening in this town. But it requires some innovation incubation on behalf of the social media businesses out there. And I'm more than willing to get that happening.
I'm also trying to assist some businesses in their social media planning, and to give my time to some public interest groups to get their social media strategy in place. I hope that by supporting those enterprises, I can raise the participation and literacy of users so that more good deeds can be recognised. It's a personal struggle in a digitally amoebic landscape.
Finally, I've been excited by opportunities at the School of Everything and delighted to hear that the Young Networks Foundation (for which I am still Creative Director) in Australia is back up and running as part of a Brisbane City Council project. And last but not least I have been invited by QUT to become an Adjunct Associate Professor, working with the Creative Industries Faculty. I'm delighted to be part of the team!

Native band to play Last Stage West for North Dakota 'water protectors'
Artists perform "Alter-Native" rock 'n blues fusion in support of Sioux Nation
—Native American flutist and band leader Cody Blackbird (Eastern Band Cherokee, Lakota) is not alone in his support of the protestors in North Dakota, who are concerned over the adverse environmental affects of the $3.78 billion Dakota Access Pipeline (#DAPL). In fact, he's part of a groundswell of international support for the Sioux Nation at Standing Rock, and will donate proceeds from a benefit concert this Sunday, Nov. 13, 7 p.m. (tix $60/$70 door, include buffet dinner and three bands from 5 p.m.) at Last Stage West, 15050 Morro Road, Atascadero CA 93422. If you haven't been there, Last Stage West, halfway between Atascadero and Morro Bay off Highway 41, is a music venue, barbecue emporium and all-around honky tonk.
As it happens, November is Native American Heritage Month, and everyone is welcome to the concert.
The Cody Blackbird Band has been touring the United States and internationally in Japan, Australia and elsewhere with their new recording, "All In," which has received kudos from an array of music stars, among them Beyoncé's lead guitarist, Bibi McGill, who says, "Not only is Cody Blackbird an incredible Native flute player, but I love how he blends the Native sound with blues and classic rock." Kenny Lee Lewis, a Steve Miller Band member for years, describes "All In" as a mixture of "jam-bandy acoustic, campfire ignition mixed with guttural, honest vocalizations and prose peppered with traditional Native American flute melodies."
Blackbird began playing the Native American flute at the age of eight. His father, American Indian cowboy poet and musician Thomas Blackbird, worked for the government with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, so the family was often on the road. Blackbird says now, "As a kid I was really hyperactive (I was diagnosed with ADHD), and the only thing that would get me to sleep at night was traditional ceremonial songs and flute music. Those were what calmed me. Eventually I grew to love the instrument and wanted to play… I spent my teen years falling in love with it and playing constantly. When I was younger, my dad would take it away from me because I wouldn't do my homework."
The Native American flute has a history going back some 2,500 years, but it became something of a lost art. Notes R. Carlos Nakai, "In the years of official suppression of native culture, the use of the flute was lost by many tribes and continued as a small part of the tribal cultures in which it remained."
Cody Blackbird is among a younger generation of indigenous Americans who are reviving the instrument. He says, "It was lost for a time and then brought back by people like Hawk Littlejohn, a very well-known maker of Native American flutes who re-popularized them. He was also a friend of my father's. For me it's very much about carrying on the tradition and keeping it fresh, so that maybe people who aren't persuaded by their own traditional music might see it in a new light."
Blackbird describes his music as "Alter-Native" fusion. He is the Cody Blackbird Band's lead vocalist and winner of three Native American Music Awards for his work on the flute. In addition to original compositions he's written, Blackbird performs covers, including songs by Richie Valens, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson.
Blackbird says that there is a comfortable milieu of crossover performing and sharing between American singer-songwriters and Native American musicians. "It's totally shared, which is really cool. A lot of people don't see that sometimes behind the scenes you have Caucasian non-Native artists who are in the mainstream who have been doing it for a long time. Many have been up to Standing Rock, lending their support and doing cross-cultural projects. I'm working right now in connecting the Flandreau Indian School with Paul Winter, who's a seven-time Grammy Award-winning saxophone player and for a long time has been lending his support to Native causes specifically. Another example is Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary; we did the Black Hills Unity Concert together, which has been part of his vision and other tribal leaders and musicians alike who envisioned this concert of unity in the Black Hills of South Dakota and shared the bill there with Arlo Guthrie, Buffy St. Marie—that itself has been a catalyst of indigenous and non-indigenous artists coming together, big name national and smaller regional acts."
In fact, many Americans want to connect with First Nation cultures, as evidenced by the sales of novels by popular writers like Sherman Alexie, Louis Erdrich and others, and by the solidarity that Native American causes routinely receive in non-Native communities—not that we necessarily know that much about Native Americans. In his book Everything You Know About Indians Is Wrong, author Paul Chaat Smith writes "although we are imagined as primitive and simple, we're actually anything but." A curator at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC, Chaat Smith quotes 60 Minutes producer Don Hewitt as saying "the Indian experience is an ocean of terrifying complexity" and adds, "the Indian experience, imagined to be largely in the past and in any case at the margins, is in fact central to world history."
We can see that now, with people arriving from around the world to camp out in solidarity with the Sioux Nation protesters at Standing Rock. Writing the other day in Salon, NPR producer Sandy Tolan noted that Standing Rock protesters, who call themselves the "water protectors," have come from "Indian lands across the Dakotas; from 300 North American tribal nations; from Jamaica, Central America, Norway, the United Kingdom, France and Japan." The water protectors have also received support from Palestinian solidarity activists at Standing Rock.
The Cody Blackbird Band will perform a one-hour set on Sunday, including songs from "All In" as well as a new song they've been working on since they were last at Standing Rock, titled "Where Were You?"
From Atascadero the band will eventually head north to Portland where on Nov. 27th they'll perform a Stand With Standing Rock concert on the same day that their friends Jackson Browne and Dave Matthews perform concerts in North Dakota and Washington, DC respectively.
"I've always pledged to dedicate as much time as humanly possible to environmental issues and clean water," Blackbird says, "issues that affect all humankind."

Wexley School for Girls are the tricksters of modern day advertising. For one, their agency appears from the street to be a gallery of curios, or a museum for the eclectic. And the name itself is a clue to their ability (or is it a willingness?) to differentiate.
Then there's the work…
I love how Wexley and Taco Del Mar does a lot with a little here. You don't need big budgets and extraordinary production values to send an effective message. In this case, a simple set design, solid script and strong casting are doing the job quite nicely.

This play pretty much embodies how the Knicks treated the Sixers in back-to-back smackings of Philly over the last two days. New York bullied the Sixers in both games, and this play is just one of the many times the Knicks simply ripped the ball away from a Sixers player like they were bullying them on the playground.

Great race... The hill looks killer. Way to go!ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh yes - that hill was a killer. But I've committed to some hillier courses so I better learn to take them on, right? Thank you!!!Delete
Nice post sweetie...you totally rocked that race. Don't try to encourage me to register for that one...I think I am all set. You are going to fly in a few weeks on the runway!ReplyDeleteReplies
I also like medals because they're so easy to post together on display, but there's something to be said about a different perk. That mug is easier to show off than a medal and people will notice it without being like "oh I see you have something around your neck today" sorry I'm a goof. Good job!ReplyDeleteReplies
I am definitely walking around school with my mug - easier to pull off than wearing a medal, I think! :)Delete
Great job with your last minute race! I would be bummed about no medal too and losing the cowbell. That is a serious hill for the last two miles! Love all the great pictures you got!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ward is getting to be a pro at race photos! :) Thanks a bunch. I'm happy with my performance too!Delete
Congrats!!! Great job on the hill too! (I need to work on that!) Have a great day :)ReplyDeleteReplies
It's all a learning experience, isn't it? Thanks a bunch!Delete
Great race! Looks like you did a great job and were strong on the hills by passing that many people (that always feels good too). The race looks like a great one, especially for snagging the free entry...too bad about the missing cowbell though! :)ReplyDelete
Fantastic work on a last minute race and especial those hills down in the Camden area, been on a few of those over in Lincolnville and they are tough. Hope you are not too sore today :-)ReplyDeleteReplies

Changing of the guard
Dec 22, 2016
As you may have heard, David Basham stood aside as ADF President last week for a period of three months. His decision to run for the Seat of Finniss in the South Australian State Government came about quite suddenly, we wish him every success with his campaign.
Another announcement was the appointment of Terry Richardson to act in the role of ADF President. Terry Richardson jointly operates a dairy farm with his
family in Deans Marsh, south west Victoria, where he has lived since 2004 and has a 550-milking herd.
Terry was appointed as an Australian Dairy Farmers Business Director in November 2015 and was the logical choice for acting President due to his background and experience.
Holding several positions in the dairy industry, both in New Zealand and Australia, he was a director of Kiwi Co-operative Dairies for seven years as well as a dairy consultant with Agriculture New Zealand. After moving to Australia, he joined his local UDV branch and was later appointed to the South West Regional Extension Committee. He was previously Chairman of Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Company and has been a director of the company for eight years, a role he still holds.
There has been some talk in media circles that Terrys position at the Warrnambool Cheese and Butter Company is a potential conflict of interest.
The ADF Board asked Terry to act as the ADF President during the period of leave David has taken from the ADF Board. Members of Boards of most organisations can occasionally have circumstances where there could be a possible conflict and the important thing is that the Board members recognise the possibility of conflict and manage it accordingly.
This year has presented unprecedented challenges for the entire dairy sector. ADF has remained focused on laying strong foundations that builds resilience rather than leaving farmers vulnerable and we will continue to advocate strongly on their behalf.
The events of 2016 have given ADF the opportunity to really cement our working relationships with state members - QDO, NSWFarmers, SADA, TFGA, UDV, WAFarmers, and industry partners such as Dairy Australia and Australian Dairy Products Federation.
Continuing to work together will give us the know-how and resilience to support dairy farmers to overcome adversity and thrive in the long term.
This season has been one of the kindest seasons we have had in many years. The extended season of grass growth has improved bottom lines and with world market prices continuing to strengthen over the second half of the year, things are looking much better for the future than they were mid-year.
May 2017 treat everyone in the dairy industry better than 2016 and we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe, prosperous New Year.
Australian Dairy Farmers
Give thanks for dairy farmers this Christmas...
Dec 23, 2015
With Christmas only two sleeps away, it's time to reflect on the role that dairy farmers (and for that matter all farmers) plays in the festive season.
We're all looking forward to the cheese platters, custard, ice cream and all manner of other festive trimmings this holiday period. All of those tasty
dairy products have been produced by the dairy farmers of this country, which is milked and processed even as we unwrap our presents from Santa on
Christmas morning. Milking takes place every day of the year, irrespective if public holidays or religious festivals. Aussie farmers do this to ensure
that there is always milk in our fridges – 365 days a year.
So as you tuck into your Christmas pudding and add custard, butter or cream remember to thank an Australian dairy farmer who got up early to produce it.
Merry Christmas from Australian Dairy Farmers!

Dark Chocolate, Butterkäse and Berry Valentine Danishes
by Lauren of Climbing Grier Mountain
Nothing says "I love you" quite like chocolate or cheese. Throw in a little golden, flaky, buttery crust, and who needs cupid's arrow? Am I right?
Valentine's Day is soon approaching and with flower shops backed up with bouquet orders and restaurant reservations filling up, why not make something homemade for the ones you love? And might I suggest these Valentine Danishes made with dark chocolate, Wisconsin Butterkäse and berries?
Now, you might be asking yourself, what is Butterkäse? Well, it's actually a buttery and creamy cheese that is versatile enough to be used in sweet or savory dishes. For these Valentine Danishes, I thought Butterkäse would pair perfectly with dark chocolate and berries. Mixing everything together with vanilla extract and brown sugar creates the perfect filling for a Danish.
And not just any Danish, a heart-shaped one. Happy Valentine's Day!
By Lauren of Climbing Grier Mountain
2 sheets puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
1 1/2 cups (about 4 ounces) Wisconsin Butterkäse Cheese, coarsely grated and loosely packed
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch salt
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup strawberries, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Chocolate syrup for topping (optional)
Cooking Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with Silpat®. Place one sheet puff pastry on top.
In small bowl, combine Butterkäse, egg yolk, vanilla extract, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Evenly distribute Butterkäse mixture on top of pastry followed by one layer each of raspberries, strawberries and chocolate chips. Place remaining puff pastry on top, sealing edges with fork. Brush top of pastry with egg wash and slice small holes to allow for steam to escape.
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and cool slightly before cutting using heart-shaped cookie cutter. Serve warm topped with chocolate syrup as desired.

The Effects of Colored Light Bulbs
Colored bulbs are used in a variety of scenarios. Merchandisers utilize colored bulbs as a means for making their product more attractive to customers. Theater and stage producers use colored bulbs to enhance a live show. Restaurants and nightlife venues use them to create a mood. Each colored bulb and combination of bulbs has a different effect on its subject and the human eye's perception of the subject.
Color Temperature
According to "Lighting Design Basics" by Mark Karlen and James Benya (2004), the temperature of the color a bulb emits describes whether the light appears warm or cool. Where the color of light falls within the color spectrum (commonly known as the rainbow) determines its temperature. Bulbs emitting light closer to red, orange and yellow are warm. Bulbs that give off light closer to blue, green and violet are cool.
Color Enhancement
A warm colored bulb enhances warm colored subjects. Cool colored lights make cool colored subjects appear cooler. For example, furnishings in a home that are of reds and oranges can be more pronounced under warm colored bulbs. A space with decor done primarily in blues and greens will result in objects appearing amplified under cool colored lights. If warm colored bulbs are lit over cool colored objects and vice versa, the objects will appear darker than their natural color. Items meant to be seen in their true color are typically placed under a very white light to avoid being enhanced or more pronounced than they actually are.
Color and Psychology
Seeing the same object under different colored lights results in a difference in human reaction to it. Restaurants typically use warm colored bulbs, such as red, to enhance the atmosphere and to make their food seem more appetizing. As discovered by Dr. Val Jones, who composed a research project in conjunction with Architectural Digest, blue light can result in a decreased appetite. For this reason blue and cool colored bulbs are not typically used in eating establishments.
Red and warm colored light are considered stimulants, while blue is more soothing. According to Pantone, Inc., the international leading influence on color, people are likely to set higher stakes when gambling if a red light is lit over them. Blue and cool colors are typically the choice of hospitals and medical facilities due to their calming effects.
Mixing Colored Bulbs
The primary colors of light are red, green and blue. When a combination of these is mixed a new color of light is produced. To achieve a white light, all three primary colors must be emitted together. Combinations of the primary colors result in the secondary colors of light. These are yellow, magenta and cyan. If a red and green bulb are lit together a yellow light will be produced. When red and blue light are mixed the result is a magenta light. Lastly, when green and blue light are mixed, cyan light is produced.
Bulb Finishes
Lighting retailers offer colored bulbs in a variety of finishes that will affect the way a bulb gives off a colored light. For example, ceramic coated bulbs will emit a diffuse, soft light. Transparent bulbs emit a clearer, more intense light. Each finish results in a different atmosphere and determines the effect of the colored bulb.

If you stand in a thunderstorm holding a metal lightning rod, chances are you'll get struck by lightning. So why do linemen who work on high-voltage wires wear suits infused with metal? It all comes down to electricity's predictable behavior. When electrons meet a good conductor, like metal, they glide so easily over it that they hardly penetrate the surface. If that metal is a container, like a cage or a suit, the electricity never reaches the inside, keeping its contents—whether that's a computer or a person—safe from harmful shocks. A grounded metal enclosure designed to protect its contents from electric charges is known as a Faraday cage, and it appears in everything from microwaves to TV cables. The uniforms worn by linemen are known as Faraday suits, and are designed with a combination of stainless steel fibers and fire-retardant fabric to ensure they're both protective and lightweight enough to get the job done comfortably.
How to Survive a Lightning Strike
Key Facts In This Video
Lightning is more likely to strike metal because lightning bolts are just long strings of fast-flowing electrons looking for the easiest path from point A to point B, and no material provides an easier path than metal. 00:00
A metal suit protects you during a thunderstorm for the same reason it attracts lightning bolts: electrons glide so easily over metal that they barely penetrate the surface, so whatever is inside of a metal container stays safe. Physicists call this a Faraday cage, or in the case of the steel-woven clothing worn by linemen working on high-voltage wires, a Faraday suit. 00:34
If you do find yourself in a field during a thunderstorm and can't head indoors, the best thing to do is crouch low and keep your feet together. This makes the electrons travel through your legs -- an inefficient path they're unlikely to travel. Even if they do travel up one leg, they'll travel back down the other, helping them miss vital organs. 01:23

CHP Press Release
On March 17, 2014, at 4:03 pm, a Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputy attempted a traffic stop a 2011 Suzuki GSXR 1000 motorcycle for no license plate near the Samoa Cookhouse in Samoa, CA.
When the red lights and siren came on, the motorcyclist fled northbound on SR-255 toward Manila and Arcata, CA, reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph. The deputy lost sight of the motorcycle and discontinued the pursuit.
However, one minute later, the deputy came around a curve on SR-255 at Dean Street / Pacific Avenue in Manila, CA, and found that the motorcycle had collided with a 2008 Toyota Scion driven by 17 year old Elizabeth Jackson of Eureka, CA.
Jackson was northbound making a left turn at the intersection when Arcani attempted to pass Jackson by driving to the left of the double yellow lines. The motorcycle collided with the left side of the Toyota.
Arcani sustained major injuries after being fully ejected from the motorcycle, and was taken by ambulance to St. Joseph's Hospital in Eureka, CA. Jackson sustained a very minor injury.
SR-255 at the intersection of Dean Street and Pacific Avenue was closed until 6:42 p.m.
Personnel and equipment from Mad River Ambulance, Arcata Volunteer Fire Department, Manila Volunteer Fire Department and CalTrans responded and assisted CHP officers with scene management.
DUI as a factor in this collision remains under investigation by the CHP.
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office is conducting a criminal investigation for the pursuit.
