If you regularly have customers or partners waiting for appointments or to be served, comfortable seating is a must. Add a plush sofa or minimalist bench to a lobby or hallway for visitors' convenience. These simple designs work well with a variety of decor themes.
Additional Storage
Many of these bench seating options include hidden storage space. Put the bench in your office or reception area to store cleaning or office supplies or a few magazines to pass the time. Hidden storage prevents clutter in waiting areas, which projects a clean, tidy, and professional appearance. This extra space also reduces the need for shelving and obvious storage compartments where visitors can see.
Comfortable Seating
Add a homey touch to your business with plush, comfortable cushions. Loveseats and sofas feature soft cushions on the seat, back, and arms, so anyone waiting for an appointment stays comfortable. Put one or two in the break room to give workers a break from sitting at desks and in office chairs. During long shifts, soft seating is a good place for a brief power nap so that you can get back to work full of energy and enthusiasm after lunch.
Compact Design
Benches eliminate arms and backs, so they take up much less room. By using compact seating, you can easily fit in other comfortable furniture options such as accent chairs and club chairs. Use small seating options to get maximum comfort without cluttering the room with oversized furniture. Compact designs allow air and light to flow through even small rooms, providing a relaxed feeling of space.

Have you ever heard the saying that "babies don't come with owner's manuals"? It's true that no matter how many books you read, classes you take, or experienced parents you talk to, you can never be completely prepared for the challenges and joys of parenthood. You can, however, prepare yourself for the costs of a new baby by looking after your finances before your bundle arrives.
New parents don't always prepare for the expenses associated with having a baby. One survey by Redbook Magazine and VISA found that less than 50 percent of expectant parents create a new budget that includes baby expenses. And while 76 percent of parents-to-be felt financially prepared for a baby, after the tyke arrived, 41 percent of new parents said they weren't as prepared as they had thought.
Taking steps like clipping coupons and buying secondhand clothes can help new parents save cash, but other important financial considerations - such as protecting their credit scores - require advanced planning. Here are some tips to help expectant and new parents to look after their finances:
Before the baby arrives
* Review your health insurance and what it covers. The full costs of pre-natal care, maternal care and delivery are not always covered by all insurance plans. As soon as you know you are pregnant - or when you make the decision to conceive - contact your insurer and ask for a detailed explanation of benefits. The Redbook survey found that unexpected hospital costs - things that couples thought their insurance would cover - cost one in four new parents more than $2,000 from their own pockets. Knowing what's covered, and what's not, can help you determine how much cash to set aside for hospital expenses.
* Review your credit. One way or another, you will be spending money - a lot of it - when the new baby arrives. Whether you need to tap credit to buy nursery furniture or need a good credit score so you can get a better auto policy that costs less, it's important to understand this aspect of your financial well-being. Enrolling in a product such as freecreditscore.com can help you understand your credit score and status, which can help you make informed decisions about how you will use credit during this potentially financially challenging time.
* Create a spending plan. Your overall spending plan should not only include a budget for day-to-day costs like diapers, but a long-term plan for larger expenses such as nursery furniture, day care, and college savings. It's important to estimate not only how much you'll spend but when you'll spend it, too. For example, your short-term budget may include the cost of a crib - an item you will need immediately - but you may be able to postpone other furniture purchases like a dresser or changing table.
When you're new parents
* Buy wisely and frugally. From clipping coupons to buying off-brand names or purchasing from second-hand stores, it's possible to equip your baby with everything he or she needs at a fraction of the cost of buying brand new, brand-name retail products. It's normal to feel pressured to buy new, top-of-the-line luxury items for your baby, but used items and off-brand products can be just as good. Check out online ratings for a used item's durability before you buy it, and see what other consumers have to say about cheaper brands of diapers, baby wipes and clothing.
* Continue to keep an eye on your credit; it's a key element of your financial health. Good credit directly affects your ability to buy that bigger house you need as Junior starts to grow, get an auto loan for a minivan, or secure a new job in some cases. The Internet can help. For example, freecreditscore.com offers a Score Planner that lets members and nonmembers see for free how their financial behaviors can affect their credit scores.
While nothing can really prepare you for the agony of sleepless nights with a newborn or the joys of seeing your baby take his or her first steps, it is possible to prepare for the financial responsibilities associated with becoming a parent.

Nov. 26, 2007
IRVINE, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara senior guard Alex Harris was named Big West Conference Player of the Week for the week ending November 25, the league announced Monday. Harris averaged 28.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game in leading the Gauchos to home wins over the University of San Francisco and Montana State.
After missing a game with an injured left thumb, Harris returned to action against San Francisco on Tuesday, Nov. 20. Although he had trouble handling the ball because his left hand was heavily taped, he made 7-of-12 shots overall, including 4-of-7 from three-point range, and scored 27 points, equaling his season-high. Harris also made 9-of-11 free throw attempts in pacing the Gauchos to a 74-69 win over the Dons.
On Saturday night, Harris recorded a new season-high with 29 points in a 76-61 win over Montana State. He tallied 20 of his points in the second half as UCSB broke open a game that was tied at the half. Not only did Harris score 20 in the second half, he scored the Gauchos' first 16 points of the half to put them ahead for good. In the game, the native of Alameda, Calif., made 6-of-13 shots from the field, including 2-of-5 from three-point range, and he set career-highs for free throws attempted and made by hitting 15-of-18. In addition, Harris had a season-high and team-high eight rebounds in the victory. The outstanding performance was particularly critical because UCSB was playing without its second-leading scorer, Chris Devine.
The Player of the Week award is the first of the season and third of Harris' career. He is now averaging 25.0 points per game in 2007-08 and he has helped UCSB to a 5-1 record, the program's best six-game record since the 1992-93 season.
The Gauchos host UNLV on Tuesday night at 7:00 p.m. in the Thunderdome.

Volunteer firefighters were able to rapidly quell a dangerous chimney fire that ignited a roof at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 at 32908 Little Cub Creek Road, thanks to the location of station No. 8 about half a mile away in Brook Forest.
It was the second fire in Brook Forest in less than a week for Evergreen Fire/Rescue Lt. Kevin Evens, who led the attack on a candle fire on Snowshoe Trail on Nov. 25.
The family in the home escaped the blaze uninjured, and damage was minimal, said Einar Jensen, a spokesman for the fire department.

Hi Archers,
I'd like to have tags and layouts symbols list on the right and other piped infos on the left in the Dwm statusbar.
I got this piece of code:
drawbar(Monitor *m) {
int x;
unsigned int i, occ = 0, urg = 0;
unsigned long *col;
Client *c;
dc.x = -20;
x = dc.x;
/* if(m == selmon) { // status is only drawn on selected monitor */
dc.w = x + TEXTW(stext);
dc.x = m->ww - dc.w;
if(dc.x > x) {
dc.x = x;
dc.w = m->ww - x;
dc.x = m->ww; */
if((dc.w = dc.x - x) > bh) {
dc.x = x;
if(m->sel) {
col = m == selmon ? dc.colors[1] : dc.colors[0];
drawtext(m->sel->name, col, True);
drawsquare(m->sel->isfixed, m->sel->isfloating, col);
drawtext(NULL, dc.colors[0], False);
for(c = m->clients; c; c = c->next) {
occ |= c->tags;
urg |= c->tags;
dc.x = 1210;
dc.w = blw = TEXTW(m->ltsymbol);
drawtext(m->ltsymbol, dc.colors[7], True);
dc.x += dc.w;
for(i = 0; i < LENGTH(tags); i++) {
dc.w = TEXTW(tags[i]);
col = dc.colors[ (m->tagset[m->seltags] & 1 << i ? 1:(urg & 1 << i ? 2:0))];
drawtext(tags[i], col, True);
drawsquare(m == selmon && selmon->sel && selmon->sel->tags & 1 << i, occ & 1 << i, col);
dc.x += dc.w;
XCopyArea(dpy, dc.drawable, m->barwin, dc.gc, 0, 0, m->ww, bh, 0, 0);
XSync(dpy, False);
I just know basic C syntax and I don't really think adding pixels space in
[...] dc.x = 1210; [...]
is the right way to make tags and layouts symbols to display on the left of the screen.
With the above code longer texts disappear on the monitor edges, and clients titles at all instead.
About titles I think that positioning piped infos at -20(px) make them (which usually preceed piped infos) disappear on the left of the screen.
I think it's because
[...] drawcoloredtext(stext); [...]
stands both for titles and for the piped stuff.
Stuff order I'd like to have, should be the following:
<piped infos><space><space><clients titles><space><space><layouts><space><space><tags list>
Suggestions are lways really appreciate.
Thank so much.

C'mon man, I'm not looking for that, you know.
I don't understand why it is so difficult to just answer to the question since there are people who (declarating) could and I've respected forum rules and netiquette ("bump" a part...).
But I really don't want to start a flame or such. I will improve my C, this is the smartest thing to do.

Rix, please take the appropriate rebuke more gracefully and learn from it.
Because you show an interest in learning, I was motivated to take a brief look at this. However, the tone you take (eg the demanding nature of it) tempers that motivation a good bit. Realize that this is a community of volunteers - no one is oblidged to help you with anything.*
That all said, I did look at the drawbar code. I tried it out on my dwm which has been so heavily modified - both for desired purposes as well as for other 'experiments' like this - it's hard to know how much this will translate. I did see the problem you describe though. I was able to solve it by adding the following three lines right before the drawing of the tags:
+ dc.w = 0;
+ for(i = 0; i < LENGTH(tags); i++) dc.w += TEXTW(tags[i]);
+ dc.x = m->ww - dc.w;
for(i = 0; i < LENGTH(tags); i++) {
dc.w = TEXTW(tags[i]);
col = dc.colors[ (m->tagset[m->seltags] & 1 << i) ?
4 : (urg & 1 << i ? 2:(occ & 1 << i ? 1:0)) ];
drawtext(tags[i], col, True);
dc.x += dc.w;
note the pluses are just indicating changes - do not put them in your code.
*PS: also, if you disrespect contributing members of this community don't expect anyone to help you - I certainly will not offer further help if don't take this 'suggestion' to heart.

Chemistry of Love "Science Café"Activity by Paulo Ribeiro-Claro | added on Dec 05, 2010 | Portugal
Sponsor(s): Department of Chemistry, University of Aveiro
A "Science Café" around the role of chemistry in the romantic love: from a short presentation of the molecules present in the different stages of love to a participated discussion about chemistry, science and life.
The activity is typical thematic "science café", usually performed in an informal "café" scenario for ca. 30-40 participants.
The subject is introduced by the invited scientist in the first 15-20 minutes, with emphasis on the experimental results concerning the effects of chemistry compounds in our behaviour. The presentation is designed to stimulate the curiosity (and leave unanswered questions) for later discussion. The discussion is usually highly participated, due to the natural appeal of the theme.
The activity is currently being offered to secondary schools and local authorities, in order to encourage the celebration of the IYC 2010 in the local communities.

If you've ever loosed a balloon into the sky, by accident or on purpose, you have probably had that uncanny feeling that you've done something simple but irreversible; no matter how high you jump, the balloon will forever be out of your grasp. Now multiply that sensation by 1.5 million; twenty-eight years ago, in a misguided attempt to break the record for most launched balloons in history, the United Way of Cleveland released one and a half million balloons into the sky for a fundraiser known as Balloonfest '86. As the weather grew grim, the hasty event administrators freed the eager helium-filled balls of color into the sky, and it was all caught on film by the photographer Thom Sheridan.
The images are pretty remarkable; when shot at close range, the balloons look to be raining from above, coloring the skyline and bridges like jimmies over an ice cream sundae. Pink, red, blue, and yellow litter the frame like large-scale confetti. But viewed from further away, the balloons form something resembling an angry plague of locusts that ominously mushroom above the city. They puff up and away, and their colors blur, forming a bloody wound across the sky.
Given the historical context, these photographs are even more theatrical, grim and tragic. Two people died as a result of the event, and a horse was badly spooked and injured. The winds that day caused the balloons to flood together, forming a substantial cloud that obscured the view of aircrafts; helicopters were unable to rescue the victims of a boating accident. In one terrible anecdote, a coast guard member explained searching for the heads of the drowning people and being totally unable to differentiate them from balloons. The entire city remained littered for weeks.
This strange, tragic story reads like a bizarre little fable where excess, pride and even the most well-intentioned aspirations breed disaster and ruin. These photographs, these astounding relics of a city's hopes and traumas, say it all. (via Gizmodo and Viral Forest)

Harassment, Accountability, and JusticeOct. 3rd, 2012 11:54 am
Back in July, a person claiming to be a Mozilla community member made threatening comments on my colleague Christie Koehler's blog. The comments were also directed at me, referring to "you two" -- Christie and me being two of the people who have been most outspoken about Mozilla's problems with equality. The anonymous commenter wrote "we don't want you around", and told us that if we didn't like Mozilla's policies about discrimination and harassment, we should go somewhere else. It's unclear which "we" the commenter intended to speak for.
These comments were absolutely a threat. Saying "we don't want you around" strongly suggests intent to create a working environment that will be hostile for us, and indeed, on its own, it is a comment that contributes to a hostile working environment. The nebulous "we", as well, is the kind of comment that provokes fear over just how many colleagues of ours "don't want us around".
And these threats were in retaliation for Christie's and my public speech about our grievances as LGBT employees of Mozilla. The message is clear: if you speak out about how you're being treated, you will be threatened and harassed.
On the Internet, few actions are truly anonymous. Christie's blog software records commenters' IP addresses. Also, every time you send an email, the headers include the IP address of the computer you used to send it (unless you go to some effort to obscure your identity). Mozilla has some well-trafficked internal mailing lists, and I save a lot of the email I receive in them. These facts together meant that I was able to confirm with a high degree of certainty that the comment really was written by a Mozilla community member: a Mozilla employee who works in the Mountain View office, where I also work. I'll refer to this person as "X". Christie contacted Mozilla's HR department, who contacted X, who admitted that they did indeed write these comments, giving us total certainty about the commenter's identity.
The article from a former Kixeye employee using the handle Qu33riousity, in which he calls out the company for its environment of homophobia and racism, has been making the rounds. Some people find stories like that one shocking. To me, it's just a much more extreme example of what happens when companies tolerate casual homophobia, sexism, racism, and other forms of oppression. When there are no consequences for abusive behavior, that behavior escalates to an arbitrarily great extent: an absence of consequences for small violations gives people permission to disrespect others in bigger ways. And that's one reason why it's so harmful to tell a person who is experiencing oppression to "just get over it" and "not be so sensitive".
After X made their comments, and during the long interactions with HR that Christie shared with me, in which she tried to convey to Mozilla administrators that X's behavior was abusive, not just part of a "conflict" between two employees, I experienced stress in a couple of ways. My IBS (a stress-induced illness) got worse. I had trouble sleeping. It got harder for me to focus on work. It's hard to concentrate on what you're doing when you've been told your co-workers don't want you around.
What should a company do when an employee has engaged in public retaliation against other employees for speaking up in favor of civil rights? I think that since the original hostile comments were public, the person who has made those comments should make a public apology, with their name attached. A public apology shows that they take seriously the harm they have done to the community. And X did harm the community: for one thing, they harmed me and Christie, who are part of the community. For another thing, they increased the level of hostility in the community towards LGBT participants. X is a person who has previously claimed to be an LGBT ally, but their actions make clear that they are okay with LGBT people as long as those people merely participate in a social order controlled by heterosexual men, and don't question heterosexual male dominance. Excluding LGBT contributors hurts the community because it arbitrarily excludes people who have something to bring to the project based on criteria having nothing to do with merit.
Instead, Mozilla HR treated X's actions as an individual slight against other individuals, completely ignoring the way in which X hurt the community. The message I take from this is that I'm not part of the community. X, as well, denied having harmed the community and even threatened to report Christie to HR for harassment after a brief email exchange in which she requested that X make their apology public. By encouraging Christie to resolve the matter directly with X, then Mozilla HR put Christie in a situation where she would be the target of more abuse.
Though X refused to make a public apology, and HR declined to ask them to do so, I still have the option of naming them in public. I'm choosing not to, since I fear that I would experience further retaliation for doing so. Several of the comments on Christie's blog post from earlier expressed disbelief that someone who was really in the Mozilla community would do such a thing. If I were to name X, they (and others) would have to deal with the cognitive dissonance of knowing that yes, it really could be one of us. My past experience tells me that people often deal with this kind of cognitive dissonance by blaming victims. Perhaps some people would decide X's comments weren't so bad after all, that there was a justification for them, that Christie's and my actions somehow justify abuse. I don't feel like there is a right answer for me in this situation: naming X would expose me to further abuse, while by declining to name them, I know that I may be accused of making it all up. Because there is no right thing for me to do in this situation, I'm choosing not to name X not because I think it's right for them to have privacy while we pay the costs of the actions, but rather, out of fear for my personal safety and my livelihood.
X's actions were one point along the same continuum that includes what Qu33riousity describes at Kixeye. They also lie along the same continuum that Skud describes in "On being harassed":
Have you ever had to show your male colleagues a webpage that calls you a fat dyke slut? I don't recommend it.Christie's and my experiences, and Qu33riousity's experiences, and Skud's experiences, are all different. I don't mean to equate them. But the common element involves environments that enable harassment: that make people feel like it's okay to harass a colleague because they're queer, female, or a person of color. The common element is environments in which people who are queer, female, and/or people of color are routinely considered less than other people, where they're treated unequally.
I just want a working environment in which I, and all of my colleagues, can be safe, and free to collaborate productively together. And many people at Mozilla feel that they have that already. I don't feel that I do. I just want to be treated the same way as everyone else; I want to be able to expect what many of my colleagues expect, which is that they won't be treated unfairly because of their sexual orientation. I also want to feel confident that if I speak out about how I'm being treated, my concerns will be taken seriously and that I'll be respected. I want to know that I won't be shamed for "playing the victim" or be treated with contempt if I say that it hurts when people attack me. I'm just asking for what most people who are not in a gender and sexual minority can already expect.
A public apology from X would help ameliorate the harm to the community that they chose to do with their anonymous comments. I'm sad that creating a safe and productive environment for everyone isn't important enough to Mozilla for that to happen. X told Christie that, in effect, they refused to make a public apology because it would make them look bad. This is the definition of abuse: being asked to put your abuser's needs ahead of your own. We were effectively told that our safety was not as important as X's reputation. And no one in a position of authority stepped in to counter that message.
I'm also copying what Christie wrote below, since I think it's that important.
Back in July, someone claiming to be a "Mozilla member" made threatening comments here on my blog, directed towards myself and my colleague Tim Chevalier. I reported the comments immediately to Mozilla HR. It look nearly three months, but I can now report a resolution.
The person who left the comments is a Mozilla employee. They have been contacted by Mozilla HR and directed not to make these kind of comments to Mozilla employees or community members in the future, or else face disciplinary action. They have also issued an apology to me personally. Unfortunately, the person has declined to provide a public apology and isn't being compelled to do so.
I find the lack of a public apology disappointing and a detriment to the Mozilla community. Those who violate community conduct standards should face the consequences of their actions and they should have to face them publicly.
Why? Many reasons. Without having to face consequences, abusive behavior is likely to continue, and likely to escalate. When those who violate conduct standards are held publicly accountable for their actions, it gives those who might have been a target of such behavior in the past a chance to finally speak up. And, it demonstrates that the Mozilla community takes its employees' and contributors' conduct toward one another seriously and doesn't tolerate abuse. A public apology gives those who transgress an opportunity to make amends with the community.
In the case of the person who left the threats on my blog, their desire not to look bad is being placed above our (mine, Tim's and others from marginalized groups) need to feel safe, and thus represents a refusal to acknowledge their deleterious effect on our entire community.
The commenter's actions harmed not just the two of us who were the direct targets, but the Mozilla community as a whole by setting the example that if a queer person feels they are being discriminated against at Mozilla and speaks out about it, they will be penalized with a public threat. Why was the original comment a threat? Because saying "we don't want you two around" implies that they would do their best, either directly or indirectly, to make sure Tim and I were not able to continue to be around. Furthermore, their use of "we" created anxiety that there was not just one, but many people at Mozilla who wanted to force out people who speak out against discrimination.
More generally, the commenter's actions set a precedent that if somebody is in a vulnerable minority group, they must choose between being silent and accepting what they experience as discriminatory treatment or risk being humiliated and threatened if they speak out against it. Being in a situation where the only choices are to accept abuse without criticizing it or be retaliated against for speaking up, is unfair. A community where people in minority groups are treated unfairly is one that many such people will either leave, or not join in the first place, because they don't feel welcome. And driving away people in minority groups hurts the community. It deprives the community of all that minority group members can contribute, and means Mozilla won't have the best employees and contributors it can possibly have.
In the lack of acknowledgment that the commenter's actions harmed the community, I hear unwillingness to say that Mozilla values its contributors who are queer. If harming us does not harm the community, then the only logical conclusion is that we're not an important part of the community. It's hurtful to see that the facts apparently point to this conclusion.
While it's true that I could reveal the identity of the anonymous commenter, I don't feel comfortable doing so publicly, here on my blog because I fear a lack of support from the Mozilla community. On the one hand, many of you expressed your outrage and disapproval of the commenter's behavior, but on the other hand, some of you also expressed doubt that the commenter could even be part of the Mozilla community. Also, I have not seen a lot of outspoken support for those who speak up on these issues, and have certainly experienced a lack of institutional support on behalf of Mozilla leadership.
What I will do is encourage those of you who have been the target of threatening behavior, even if it seems insignificant, to document and report it.

Snowden, 'The Beat Comes' – Free MP3 Download
Jordan Jeffares is the brains behind Snowden, a nomadic rock project whose music sounds like apocalyptic yet danceable Britpop.
His latest album, 'No One in Control,' comes after a period in which he spent years journeying across the continental United States and Europe, picking up striking sonic artifacts along the way.
The single 'The Beat Comes' is one musical amalgamation we can only assume came from Jeffares' consistent travels. The singer oscillates between a disaffected Britt Daniel-like drone and the curious, unexpected melodies of Doves.
"I don't like to discuss song meanings because it interferes with what people can imagine on their own," Jeffares tells Diffuser.fm. "I will, however, say that 'The Beat Comes' is full of double entendres." Well played sir.

To ensure teachers are spending the majority of their time teaching students and not on travelling to and from the printer, many school districts are recognizing the importance of having printing technology in every classroom. However, meeting this need can come at a high cost, leading administrators to purchase smaller quantities – often from different and incompatible printer brands – over longer periods of time.

Model Performance
I am a Physique Transformation Engineer who specializes in making both men and women hot as well as getting them performance ready. Myself and 3 other women have come together to share our expertise in making people beautiful. There are 2 aspects to our company:
Model: Optimizing the body through nutrition to have a beautiful physique inside and out. This is not the same as just "weight loss". At the end of your time with us you will be beautiful on the inside (hormonally thus emotionally) as well as all aspects of the outside (hair, teeth, nails) due to proper nutrition and training.
Performance: All aspects of performance nutrition are handled to make you the best on game day and after. You cannot perform at your best if your body is not at its best so we pay close attention to all details that affect your performance (body composition, hormones, recovery, game day and etc.)
Our name plays off of Model--being the ideal and also referring to being a model.
In general, we are fun, highly intellectual women who are looking to brand ourselves a bit higher than the traditional "weight loss gurus".
We are targeting men (more for the performance side) and women (for both) between the ages of 25 and 45. Currently I do this sort of work for an online fitness competition site. (http://www.cathysavagefitness.com) These are the types of men and women that I will cater to.
On the performance side we will be hitting the weekend warrior type. The average triathlete or adventure race enthusiast who is better than most but not on an elite level.
We are open to ideas but would like the logo to be integrative (we have thought about a silouhette of a woman in a dress and heels jumping a hurdle).
* silouhette form of a woman is best if you go with a person.
* must incorporate both aspects of the company
* we would like some color in the logo--not all black and white
* needs to be able to be used on anything (business card, poster, banner, etc.)
* other than silouhette (if you prefer), no cartoons please.
The rest is up to you. We are looking for something as unique as we are that doesn't take itself too seriously. Have fun with this!

Gelato made fresh by locals
November 16, 2012
While it may not be an ancient amphitheater, a leaning tower or some grand cathedral in a city square, gelato remains an essential experience of traveling to Italy. Gelato shops and carts litter the streets of every major city, every village. After returning stateside, friends who have already traveled to Italy excitedly ask, 'Did you try the gelato?'
Yes, it is that good. So good in fact that JoAneen Stamegna, co-owner of the Cortona Gelatoria in Park City, opened a business just to capture that experience. When she first went to Italy, she was prepared to forgo the staple sweet treat. Stamegna is not an ice cream fan, a fact she readily admits, but in her opinion, gelato is no ice cream.
"When I saw these gelato signs everywhere, I was like, 'What's the big deal? It's just ice cream," she said. "I finally decided to try it because everywhere we went there were people eating this.
"Once I had it, that was it. I had it everyday, twice a day for the rest of the trip."
Rich and creamy, gelato seems like a decadent dessert. But on average, gelato has half the calories of regular ice cream.
Her husband and partner David Stamegna fell in love with gelato since first bite. He was ready to dive into the business despite never working in the restaurant industry before, and now the two run the Park City business together. When he first tried gelato, he was biking through the country. Once he had discovered it though, it became a major part of his diet.

"Gelato. I love it because of the intensity of the flavor," he said. "I lived on gelato, proscuitto and vino."
Cortona Gelatoria in Kimball Junction offers more than just gelato, which the couple makes by hand, importing several ingredients such as Pistachio paste from Italy just to bring an air of authenticity to the product. JoAneen prepares nearly everything from hand, from the meatballs in the Roma Panini to the Tuscan Chili.
With its warm Tuscan feel and wall murals, Stamegna said she wanted to capture the moments from her honeymoon, her first time traveling to Italy, her first time trying gelato, when she and her then-newly-wed husband stopped in cafes to enjoy dessert with a glass of wine at bar tops.
"This is causal, comfortable," Stamegna said, "a place where you can come in a grab a cannoli. It's a place to enjoy food, a place with this authentic Italian atmosphere."
The restaurant also started a dinner special, offering traditional meals made from scratch every other Saturday using a set menu Stamenga creates in advance. The event became so popular, her family recipes are such a hit, that she soon started having to turn people away.
Whether it is classic basil pesto or pasta made from scratch, Stamenga puts in the time, preparing every order as it comes in. A vodka-infused red sauce? Each order is prepared by table. Freshly made cannoli? It is whipped and piped into its casing moments before diners take the first bite. Like her Italian grandmother, she wanted to recreate a home cooked meal. Making a reservation for the night is like accepting an invitation.
"When you're in Italy and you're authentic Italian, making dinner is an all-day production," she said. "… huge tables with grandmothers and mothers making handmade pasta, and it takes all day. It's tradition, a family menu, and that's what we're trying to create."
Cortona Gelataria
Hours: Tuesday thru Friday: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday: 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., Sunday: 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Beer and wine available.

Learning Index >> Ceramic Decoration: a selective guide to pots in the collection of the Crafts Study Centre
No 2: Jug, c.1995 (P.95.3)
A fat-bellied jug of medium height (25cm), this piece is typical of Svend Bayer's work from the last two decades. It is made of finely grogged (rough) stoneware, has running droplets of ash glaze covering the neck and shoulders only, and is wood fired, adding warmth to its natural colours. Interest is derived directly from the contrast between glazed and unglazed areas and from the thick glaze itself. The pot was made in Bayer's Devon workshop.

Jury selection underway in New London murder case
Attorneys began interviewing prospective jurors Wednesday in New London Superior Court for the murder trial of 22-year-old Evan J. Holmes.
Holmes, a lifelong New London resident, is accused of forcing his way into an apartment at 252 Montauk Ave. on Nov. 12, 2011, and fatally shooting 25-year-old Jorge "Loco" Rosa in his bed. He has been held in lieu of $500,000 since being arrested several hours after the shooting.
The trial is expected to begin Sept. 23 and last about three weeks. Senior Assistant State's Attorney Paul J. Narducci and Assistant State's Attorney Sarah W. Bowman are prosecuting. Lyme defense attorney William T. Koch Jr. is representing Holmes. Judge Barbara Bailey Jongbloed is presiding.
The attorneys will pick 12 regular jury members and four alternates over the next three weeks.
In taking his case to trial, Holmes rejected a plea offer from the state involving a lengthy prison sentence. He is charged with murder, felony murder, home invasion, home invasion with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit home invasion, first-degree burglary, commission of a felony with a firearm and criminal possession of a firearm.
The state alleges Holmes and Davion Smith broke into the apartment and confronted Rosa, 25, while he slept with his girlfriend, Gabriela Gonzales. Based on pretrial motions, it appears the defense will explore Gonzales' credibility as a witness and may suggest that others had motive to kill Rosa. Koch said he had subpoeaned a therapist that Gonzales was seeing. He also told the judge that he intends to submit as evidence a plastic baggie found across the street from the crime scene that had Rosa's fingerprints and contained cocaine residue. Investigators found another baggie of cocaine in the apartment.
The state is likely to object to the introduction of evidence suggesting so-called "third-party culpability." Narducci asked that the issue be argued outside the presence of the jury before evidence is introduced.
"Case law is clear there has to be a direct connection," Narducci said. "The fact that there may have been narcotics is not enough."
Jongbloed said she would decide what would be admitted into evidence as the case goes along. At Koch's request, the judge agreed to exclude the fact that Holmes had previously been convicted of a felony when reading the firearms possession charge to the jury.
Holmes had served 18 months in prison for shooting a man in the foot and had been released from prison just nine days before the shooting. According to court documents and testimony from a previous hearing, he had dated Rosa's girlfriend, Gonzales, who broke up with him via mail while he was incarcerated.
Gonzales testified that she woke up that November morning to see Holmes and Smith, his close friend, standing at the foot of the bed holding guns. She said Holmes shot Rosa and the two gunmen fled. Rosa was pronounced dead at the scene.
New London police arrested Holmes hours later at an Old Saybrook motel. Smith spent the next four months at large and was arrested as he attempted to crawl out the second-floor window of a relative's apartment.
Smith's case is pending in the same courthouse and will be resolved after Holmes' case is decided.

2007 Jeep Wrangler JK Sahara - Hell DoradoPosted in Features on May 1, 2009
You may remember Currie Enterprises' Helldorado TJ Wrangler package. The Helldorado TJ was built using parts that complemented each other and made a balanced Jeep that worked well everywhere. With the advent of the JK Wrangler, Currie Enterprises teamed with Kevin Hawkins to start work on a new Helldorado package. Kevin worked his magic on his own JK to make it worthy of the Helldorado heritage - a Wrangler that works as well on the freeway as it does on the trail. Not every detail you see here will be available in the production Helldorado package, but most of it will be.
Kevin started with a 2007 JK Wrangler Sahara because he knew he was going to be swapping out axles and other parts that came on the Rubicon, so why pay the extra $$$? The front 30 and rear 44 were swapped for Currie RockJock III high-pinion 60 front and rear ends with reverse cut 5.13 gears and Detroit Lockers in both. The stock T-case made way for a 2-speed Atlas with 3.8:1 low range and Tom Wood's Custom Driveshafts built the front and rear CV driveshafts. A PSC hydraulic ram-assist steering system makes steering in the rocks easy. Currie's heavy duty one-ton steering system ensures the beefy tie rod and drag link won't bend when stressed.
Currie Enterprises introduced their 4.5-inch JK suspension system just as the Helldorado build started. The suspension features progressive coils at all four corners, control arms with genuine Currie Johnny Joints at all ends, adjustable front and rear track bars, and AntiRock sway bars front and rear. Walker Evans adjustable reservoir shocks keep oscillations under control. Rear shock mounts were modified as you can see in the photo.
Many JK front bumpers are pretty big, so Kevin fabricated his own minimalist tube bumper that holds his Warn 6,000-pound winch and KC fog lights. He beefed up OE JK Rubicon rocker guards to protect the sides. In back, the Hanson Off-Road bumper allows good departure clearance and protection. Kevin designed and built a tailgate-mounted spare tire carrier with integrated third brake light.
We spent a lot of time in the Helldorado during this photo shoot. It works great on the highway and even better in the dirt and rocks. Moab's Pritchett Canyon is a lot rougher now than it's ever been. We made short work of Pritchett in the Helldorado JK, then ran Behind the Rocks backwards (doing every obstacle) and were out to the highway in time to run Hell's Revenge before dark. This is an excellent JK that makes no excuses and works very well everywhere, a fitting inheritor of the Helldorado moniker.

The U.S. Catholic bishops wrapped up a busy fall meeting in Baltimore on Nov. 16 to 19, during which:
• The bishops overwhelmingly approved a revision to the directives that guide Catholic health care facilities. New language clarifies that patients with chronic conditions who are not imminently dying should receive food and water by "medically assisted" means if they cannot take them normally. "This obligation extends to patients in chronic and presumably irreversible conditions (e.g., the 'persistent vegetative state') who can reasonably be expected to live indefinitely if given such care."
• The bishops approved with minimal discussion the English translation and U.S. adaptations of five final sections of the Roman Missal. The Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship now must grant its recognitio, or approval, to allow the translations to proceed.
• The bishops approved a document criticizing some reproductive technologies to address infertility. "Life-Giving Love in an Age of Technology" rejected the use of donor eggs or sperm as well as surrogate motherhood, artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization and human cloning.
• The bishops heard an interim report from an ongoing study of the causes and contexts of sexual abuse by priests conducted by researchers from New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice (pictured right). Researchers told the bishops: "We do not find a connection between homosexual identity and the increased likelihood of subsequent abuse from the data that we have right now." They reported that the rise in sexual abuse cases in the 1960s and a decrease in the 1980s track with other behavioral changes during the same period.
• Another study reported that religious orders were shrinking in size and their members aging fast. Paul Bednar-czyk, a Holy Cross brother who is executive director of the National Religious Vocations Conference, called the results of the study "Recent Vocations to Religious Life," conducted by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University, "sobering." Brother Bednarczyk said the study found the number of men and women in religious life has decreased by 63 percent since the peak in the mid-1960s and that about 75 percent of the men and more than 90 percent of women religious are age 60 or older.

Gold and Oil: The Two Most Popular Investments Are Back
The price charts of both gold and oil suggest that their time to shine may be returning.
Seasonal charts allow us to look at what the average price for an investment does during a specific time of year. The gold and oil seasonal charts below clearly show that we are entering a time in which price tends to drift higher.
While these chart help with the overall bias of the market, keep in mind they are not great at timing moves and should always be coupled with the daily and weekly underlying commodity charts.
Let's take a quick look at what the godfather of technical/market analysis shows in terms of market cycles, and where I feel we are trading.
John Murphy's Business Cycle
Mature Stock Market
Commodity Index Looks Bullish and Should Rise
Gold and Silver Seasonality, Price Charts With Analysis
Precious metals such as gold and silver are nearing a bounce and a possible major rally in the second half of this year.
Crude Oil Seasonality, Price Chart With Analysis
Crude oil has been a tough one to trade in the last year. The recent 15 candles have formed a bullish pattern, and with the next few months on the seasonal chart favoring higher prices, it has been leaning toward the bullish side.
In short, I feel the equities market is nearing a significant top. If this happens in the next couple of weeks, money will soon start flowing into commodities in general as people look to a safe haven play. To support this outlook, I am also factoring in a falling US dollar. Based on the weekly dollar index chart, it looks as though a sharp drop in value is beginning. This will naturally lift the price of commodities, especially gold and silver.
It is very important to remember that once a full-blown bear market is in place, stocks and commodities (including gold and silver) will fall together. I feel we are beginning to enter a time when precious metals will climb, but they may not climb extraordinarily higher before selling takes control again.
This could be very bullish for the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX Composite Index (TSE:OSPTX), as it is a commodity-rich index. While the US may have a pullback or crash, Canadian stocks may hold up better in terms of percentage points.

LOS ANGELES — The pre-game excitement before a college football game — where throngs of people are dressed in school colors, barbecuing and having a good time — is enough to get anyone energized.
But for about two-dozen Costa Mesa sixth-grade students, just being on a university campus, let alone the pre-football game revelry, was an eye opener.
"Everywhere I've been has been awesome," said Andrea Rubalcava on Saturday at the University of Southern California campus, just before the Trojans faced Colorado at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. "I wish I could come here when I'm older."
Andrea's wish to go to a university is exactly why Pomona Elementary School sixth-grade teacher Jeff Williams gave up his Saturday to take his students and those from his former school, Rea Elementary, to USC.
Williams started taking students to his alma mater more than a decade ago to show them what college actually looks like and spark their interest in attending.
"The kids that we serve, most of them really don't have a concept of what [college] is," Williams said. "When we walk them around, their eyes are just amazed. Most of our kids don't get out of that community."
Williams — along with fellow alumni, including his parents — took the students on tours around the campus to see the many athletic trophies in Heritage Hall, inside a classroom and through one of the many campus libraries.
"It's like a USC city," said Eduardo Orozco after only a small taste of what the campus offers.
Williams explained to his group about dorms, cafeterias, the campus bookstore, the student health center and how the campus offers students different schools — such as dentistry, music and cinema — depending on what they want to study.
"When you decide to go to college, you have to decide what you want to study," Williams explained. "What you want to study can guide where you go to school."
The students also got an explanation of what the "V" sign people made with their fingers meant.
"This means V for victory," he said. "Then everyone says 'Fight On!' This means we will never give up."
The sixth-graders got to use the Trojan symbol when the marching band played the school fight song before they experienced the quintessential college experience: a football game.
The group had tickets to Saturday's game thanks to the Trojan Kids Club, which donates home game tickets to various athletic events to schools.
It is through the Trojan Kids Club that Williams has been able to take students to games since 1998.
For Britney Robles and Kyra Avila, it was their first time on a college campus and they were amazed by everything, from the sheer size of the university to the marching band to the number of statues and trophies.
The experience gave Kyra a better idea of what college is about, and she summed up her feelings in two words.
"Pretty awesome."

Apache Corp. /quotes/zigman/218137 /quotes/nls/apa APA would do well to sell its assets in Egypt, which have dragged the company's valuation by 20% to 30%, analysts at Oppenheimer said in a note to clients.
And it's likely to get worse, given Egypt's "dysfunctional government, deteriorating economy, polarized society and exploding population," the analysts said.
Apache is one of Egypt's largest acreage holders, controlling 9.7 million gross acres in the country's Western Desert. Only 18% of the acreage has been developed, "providing us with considerable exploration and development opportunities," the company said in its website.
"We think investors should stay out and that [Apache] would be better off selling its Egyptian assets and using the proceeds to buy back 15% of its shares and reduce debt," Oppenheimer said.
Apache reported first-quarter earnings of $2.02 a share, below Wall Street expectations of $2.20 a share. Earnings were also down 33% from a year and 11% on the quarter on higher costs and production declines.
Apache has planned to sell $4 billion in assets this year, double its previous target. That follows acquisitions worth $16 billion in the last three years, the Oppenheimer analysts said. The company plans to use the asset-sale proceeds to reduce debt by $2 billion and embark on a $2 billion share buyback program.
Shares of Apache have advanced 6.2% so far this year, compared with a 13% advance for energy equities on the S&P 500 Index. Shares have gained 0.9% in the past 12 months, versus gains of 23% for their energy peers.
In addition to the United States and Egypt, Apache has operations in Argentina, Australia, Canada, and in Britain's North Sea sector.
