When Michele Zullo was the thriving owner of a large music shop in Italy and offered the idea to successfully build affordable, fresh looking, functional furniture for musicians, everyone told him: impossible. An experienced piano builder, Zullo went ahead anyway in 2006 creating ZAOR STUDIO FURNITURE.
In 2010 I joined Michele along with Gilles Bartholme and together we turned ZAOR into a global brand for stylish, ergonomic yet affordable studio furniture. We moved production to Romania, built our own factory, hired great staff and today offer a vast catalogue of studio solutions using high end machines next to handicraft.
We question and innovate relentlessly: packaging, materials, combination of functions (furniture + instrument = KLAViDesk), types of finishes and procedures. We combine cutting edge technology with elegant design to launch bold new solutions.
ZAOR collaborates with outstanding brands like IsoAcoustics, Slate, Fatar, Human Scale to enter uncharted territory.
Customers and custom jobs are our passion and we have been honoured to work for big industry names like Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki, David Guetta amongst others. At ZAOR one word is permanently banned from our vocabulary: IMPOSSIBLE.
Come and explore parts of the ZAOR world and if you find anything amiss - just ask and we will invent it, design it, manufacture it!
We love to create your work space

Sandra Fluke, the college student who wants you and me to pay for her birth control, and Ashley Judd, daughter of Naomi Judd and sometime Hollywood actress, love contraception and abortion.
Fluke believes contraception should be a "universal human right." If Fluke and her friends want to keep from having children, I'm all for it. No one's stopping them from not getting pregnant, just like no one's stopping people from getting fat. If you want to lose weight; don't eat as much food. If you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex or use some form of birth control when you do. What Fluke wants is for you and me to pay for her contraceptives. That I won't do.
I addition to Fluke, Ashley Judd is standing up for Planned Parenthood. Actually, Planned Unparenthood:
"Judd headlined Saturday's 80th anniversary celebration for Indiana Planned Parenthood, which Judd said was evidence that the organization's efforts on behalf of women were having a positive impact.
"'I have said countless times that unless you are delivering a product and service that is really needed and unless you are doing it really well, you don't stick around for 80 years,' said Judd."
And what is that "product"? The killing of preborn babies, something Planned Parenthood has been advocating since Margaret Sanger founded the American Birth Control League which later became Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Planned Parenthood conducts around 300,000 abortions each year. That's about 25 percent of all abortions performed in the United States each year.
Here comes the part that Sandra Fluke and Ashley Judd won't tell you about the philosophical origin of Planned Parenthood:
"At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the 'black' and 'yellow' peril. The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned Parenthood."
It's not much different today. A call for universal contraception will mean that birth control (including abortion) will be directed at people with black and brown skin. White Europe is already in a population decline. In order to balance out the races, Planned Parenthood and the Flukes of the world, along with their financial backers like the Rockefeller Foundation,
the World Bank, the Hewlett Foundation, and at one time Warren Buffett, need to take their message to people that are out producing the White race. Margaret Sanger would be proud that her radical ideas have become mainstream:
"In a letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble, Sanger stated, 'We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population. And the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Clarence Gamble (1894–1966) was the heir of the Procter and Gamble soap company fortune. He was an advocate for birth control and eugenics.
Fluke and Judd are just two more people in a long line of celebrities who support a philosophy of life that impacts people not like them.

A publicist says child services workers went to the home of Charlie sheen this weekend for a routine visit.
Sheen's publicist Stan Rosenfield says the visit was a previously scheduled, procedural visit. He declined to discuss specifics or how Sheen's children are doing.
The visit was connected to a pending felony domestic violence case in Aspen, Colo., against the "Two and a Half Men" star.
The child services department says it can't confirm that workers went to Sheen's home or that there is any case involving the actor or his wife, Brooke.
Charlie Sheen is accused of holding a knife to his wife's throat and threatening to kill her on Dec. 25 at his Aspen home.

RICHMOND, Va. – A crucial member of the VCU basketball program was rewarded for his hard work and dedication on Monday.
Mike Rhoades, who enters his third season on the sidelines with the VCU men's basketball program, was promoted the position of Associate Head Coach for this upcoming year, a move announced by Head Coach Shaka Smart on Monday.
"Mike is an invaluable member of our coaching staff and a terrific resource for our student-athletes," Smart said. "His work ethic, knowledge of the game and enthusiasm have contributed significantly to our success."
The Mahanoy City, Pa. native has played an integral role in the Rams' success of the past two years, which culminated in the school's first-ever Final Four appearance this past March.
In his two seasons with the Black & Gold, VCU has compiled 55 wins, the highest total in any two-year stretch in school history. He has been a vital part of the success on the recruiting trail, helping VCU secure the CAA's best recruiting classes each of the past two seasons.
Being a former All-American point guard himself, Rhoades was a mentor to Joey Rodriguez, who posted back-to-back seasons of 200+ assists, a feat that had never been accomplished in school history and only two other times in CAA history.
"I am really appreciative of this new title and continuing to work with Coach Smart, our staff, players and administration," Rhoades said. "The past two seasons have been extremely fun and exciting and I look forward to helping our program continue to move forward on and off the court at VCU. I am very thankful for the great opportunity Shaka and the administration gave me two years ago and again for this new title. I can't wait to get back on the court with our players this fall."
Prior to VCU, Rhoades spent 10 years at nearby Randolph-Macon, where he helped turn the Yellow Jackets into a Division III powerhouse. He compiled a record of 197-76 with four NCAA Tournament appearances.
As a player, he led Lebanon Valley to the 1994 National Championship, the same year he was named Division III National Player of the Year.

Marieann Martineau Watkins passed away November 21, 2013 at her home in Blanding, UT, at the age of 74.
Marieann was born February 10, 1939 in Colonia Chuichupa, Chihuahua, Mexico, to Bernard Joseph and Helen Hawkins Martineau. Marie was the third of their 11 children and the oldest daughter, so she learned to care for and watch over others from an early age, especially when a pressure cooker of orange juice blew a seal and scalded her mother.
Marie took over as much of the household as she could while her mother struggled to regain full use of her arms.
When the children were old enough to go to school, they moved down the mountain to Colonia Juarez so they could attend Juarez Academy.
Marie graduated from the Academy in 1958. She'd spent a year battling rheumatic fever, so she graduated a year behind the rest of her classmates.
After graduation, Marie came to the United States to live with her Grandmother in Mesa, AZ. She worked several years to earn money toward her mission.
She mentioned being so excited to get her first paycheck that she went out and bought a bar of chocolate. She ate the entire thing and got sick.
She hadn't realized that baking chocolate needs a little help before it's edible. This may be why her daughters all have secret chocolate chip stashes in their kitchens!
She also took the opportunity to go with a group to tour LDS church history sites. While preparing for her mission, she mentioned to some of the girls in her Single Adult ward that she'd love to be a "pen pal" with a currant or returned missionary, as she'd like to have some guidance as to what to expect on her mission.
One of the girls, Bertha Watkins, mentioned that she had a brother, Richard (Dick), in Germany in the Army who had just returned from a mission to the New England states.
Since he had absolutely no objection whatsoever to writing to a cute little blue-eyed blonde, Marie started writing to him, and with his guidance and encouragement served faithfully in the Spanish American Mission in Texas.
When she returned from her mission, Richard came down to Mesa to meet her, and two weeks later, they were engaged.
Dick and Marie were married in the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple on February 12, 1964, and Marie became a citizen of the United States on February 16, 1976. She worked very hard to achieve this goal, and was always proud of her citizenship.
As a "stay-at-home" mother, not only did she parent her own children, she "mothered" many others so their parents could work or attend school. As her children grew older, she worked outside her home, beginning with the Nursing Home and ending as a paraprofessional in the Special Ed Preschool at Blanding Elementary, but she always made people feel welcome in her home.
Her first question was usually, "Are you hungry?" quickly followed by, "Let me fix you something to eat!"
She and Dick then fulfilled a lifelong goal of serving a mission together in Denver, Colorado, where they spent 22 months microfilming documents in the basement of the Capitol building. They had many adventures together during this time, including Marie's involuntary participation in a rally to legalize marijuana.
In her defense, she had no idea why all those nice young people carrying signs were gathered around, and she was on her way to the bus stop, so she took a direct path. Dick prudently kept to the outside of the group while ensuring he wasn't too far away.
After Dick and Marie returned home, they were called to serve in the Monticello Temple, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
Marie is survived by her husband Richard, her children Amy Kensley of Monument Valley, UT; Lloyd (Janette) of LaVerkin, UT; Harley (Amy) of Morgan, UT; Lois Walker (Shane) of Snowflake, AZ; Jan Podris (Gary) of Spokane, WA; and Ivy Kropf (Jared) of Green River, WY; along with 24 grandchildren, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews who love her and will miss her very much.
Card of thanks
The family is very grateful to everyone for all the love and support given to us during this difficult time: to the Blanding EMS team, to Dr. Fisher and the Blue Mountain Hospital, to the Blanding Eighth Ward, and especially to Danny Palmer. Thank you.

OCC Bulletin 2011-40| October 4, 2011
Truth in Lending Act and Consumer Leasing Act: Dollar Thresholds for Exempt Consumer Credit and Lease Transactions
Chief Executive Officers and Compliance Officers of All National Banks and Federal Savings Associations, Department and Division Heads, and All Examining Personnel
Effective July 21, 2011, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd–Frank Act) amended the Truth in Lending Act (TILA)—implemented by Regulation Z—and the Consumer Leasing Act—implemented by Regulation M—to expand consumer protections by increasing the thresholds for exempt consumer credit transactions and consumer leases from $25,000 to $50,000. In addition, the Dodd–Frank Act provided that, on or after December 31, 2011, these dollar thresholds must be adjusted by any annual percentage change in the consumer price index.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System published adjusted exemption levels for Regulation Z1 and Regulation M2 on June 20, 2011. These adjustments reflect the annual percentage increase in the consumer price index that was in effect as of June 1, 2011. They will be effective January 1, 2012.
Based on these adjustments, the protections of the TILA and the Consumer Leasing Act generally will apply to consumer credit transactions and consumer leases of $51,800 or less in 2012. Private education loans and loans secured by real property (such as mortgages), however, continue to be subject to the TILA regardless of the amount of the loan.
Please direct questions regarding this bulletin to your supervisory office or the Compliance Policy Department at (202) 649-5470.

Dodge City Officials To Deal with Statue Display
KSCB News - April 8, 2013 8:39 am
Dodge City officials are not quite sure just where to put two massive sculptures donated by the Dennis Hopper Art Trust to the city where its namesake was born and raised.
The pieces are known as La Salsa Man and Mobil Man. They are 26 and 21 feet tall respectively. The trust administrator calls them a "large, impactful and a defiant blend of Californian and Southwestern culture mixed with Hollywood grandeur."
County Commissioners unanimously voted to put the statutes at the special events center. The city commissioners unanimously voted against that placement, suggesting instead displaying them at a park in town.
The arts council is working on details of getting the large pieces to Dodge City.
An unveiling is planned May 17.

Guest Room Furnishings at HGTV Dream Home 2010
The great room at the 2010 HGTV Dream Home features a bank of 12-foot-tall windows providing a stunning view of the surrounding desert landscape. Furnishings are toned down to keep focus on the glorious scenery, but interesting textures and prints, including houndstooth, Greek key and cow-hide, add interest in a space dominated by neutral fabrics and surfaces.

Dining Room Renovated to Flow Into Adjacent Living Space
Designer Marci Barnes removed the walls that originally enclosed this dining area, opening the space up to be part of the kitchen and flow easily into the adjacent living space. Chic, contemporary dining chairs with nailhead trim and a geometric dining table base add a modern punch to an otherwise traditional space.
Neutral Sitting Area With Twin Floor Lamps
This cozy sofa is flanked by a pair of noble floor lamps, which also serve to mark off this sitting area from the rest of the room. A metallic cube coffee table picks up the reflective artwork on the wall.
Blue Traditional Kitchen
The dark staines wood island contrasts well against the blue shaker cabinets and black and white basket weave tile backsplash. Touches of green add warmth to the deep blues in this kitchen.
Elegant Dining Room With Walnut Table and Custom Chandelier
A dramatic chandelier by Nancy Corzine hangs above a solid walnut dining table by Jeff Newell of Newell Design Studio, bringing eye-catching elegance to the open-floor plan of the living space. The custom fixture showcases more than 25 individual lamps, while the custom Dessin Fournir chairs on an antique rug completes the dining ensemble.
Inviting, Cottage Breakfast Nook
To define the breakfast nook, the banquette and surrounding trimwork is painted a striking blue. Classic Windsor chairs sit opposite the leather-cushioned banquette, surrounding the farmhouse-inspired table.
Relaxing Master Bathroom With Storage
With smart technology, a relaxing color scheme and exceptional storage options, the HGTV Smart Home 2015 master bathroom is quite possibly the best room in the house.
Narrow Dining Room With Mismatched Chairs
With not much room to spare, this effortlessly cool dining room comes complete with a small table and mismatched chairs.
Small White Bedroom Features Gold Mirror, Ornate Headboard
Breakfast in bed takes on a new meaning when the dining room is right around the corner from your bed. Thanks to a gold-framed mirror and an unadorned window, the tiny bedroom feels a bit larger and brighter.
White Bedroom With Gold Mirror, Ornate Headboard & Moroccan Rug
A Moroccan-inspired rug softens the black-and-white tiled floor, while an ornate brass headboard dresses up simple, white bedding.
Dreamy White Kitchen With Metallic Hardware
Sturdy metallic hardware gives this kitchen a polished look while tying in the stainless steel oven and faucet.
A Clean and Streamlined Kitchen With White Tile Backsplash
White cabinetry extends to the ceiling, maximizing storage in this elegant kitchen. Luminous Calacatta marble countertops and glossy subway tile are balanced by an espresso-stained kitchen island.
Bunk Beds, Model Airplane Display Set the Stage for Fun Sleepovers
A pair of bunk beds makes this the perfect spot for sleepovers. A fun black-and-white pattern is carried from the triangle wall decals to the graphic-print bedspreads and white, Danish-style furniture. Model airplanes are hung in a group from the ceiling to give this kids' room its own mini airshow.
Serene Master Bathroom With Floating Vanity
This master bathroom went from dated and lackluster to chic and updated with a custom floating vanity and sleek frameless mirror.
Antique Wooden Oars Used as Art in Neutral Living Space
A set of antique wooden oars hangs as artwork on one wall of this living room, representing the family's love of the outdoors and being on the water. A sectional sofa with a chaise at one end is covered in a durable, family-friendly fabric. Graphic textiles provide visual punch.
Midcentury Modern Dining Room With Tiered Chandelier
This dining room features a number of midcentury modern elements such as the wooden wishbone dining chairs and the tiered chandelier. The space features a wood floor and wooden china cabinet, and an orange "Brooklyn Map" representing the owners' former residence adorns the wall.
Small Kitchen With Retro Fridge
The vintage feel of this kitchen was preserved thanks in large part to the '50s style refrigerator, while Mediterranean tile lines the walls. Mercury-glass mirrors were added to the cabinet doors in order to brighten the tiny space.
Sleek Contemporary Kitchen With Black Cabinetry
This sleek and spacious kitchen features white limestone floors paired with black cabinets and neutral countertops. A mosaic tile gray backsplash adds a bit of texture to the space and continues over to the wall that frames a large stainless steel refrigerator. A skylight provides a touch of natural light.
Modern Kitchen With Natural Wood Accents
This minimalist white kitchen features neutral accents throughout, including the vast tiled ceiling and natural wood floors. A spacious island with a wine cooler and shelving provides an ideal area for food preparation and casual dining, while a frosted glass pantry provides ample storage space.

Threatening letters containing poisonous ricin sent to Mayor Bloomberg and his anti-gun group said "what's in this letter is nothing compared to what I've got planned for you," police and law enforcement sources said.
One letter was discovered at the city's mail sorting location at 100 Gold St. at about 2 p.m. Friday, a law enforcement source told NBC 4 New York. It appeared to contain a pink, oily substance when a mail worker came across it and was immediately flagged as suspicious.
An initial field test didn't bring up any sign of ricin, a source said. But more preliminary testing Wednesday showed the letter tested positive for ricin.
An identical letter containing ricin was sent to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns headquarters in Washington, D.C. and was opened on Monday, police said.
According to law enforcement sources, both letters were postmarked May 20 in Shreveport, La. and sent without a return address or signature. Sources said the NYPD tried to pull fingerprints off the letter discovered at the city's mail sorting site, but nothing usable was found. Authorities also plan to check for any possible DNA.
It wasn't known if any viable forensic evidence was discovered on the letter sent to Washington. Both mailings read in part: "You will have to kill me and my family before you get my guns. Anyone wants to come to my house will get shot in the face. The right to bear arms is my constitutional God given right and I will exercise that right till the day I die."
Bloomberg is the founder of the anti-gun group and has emerged as one of the country's most potent gun-control advocates, able to press his case with both his public position and his private money.
On Wednesday, the mayor said he didn't know what pushed whoever sent the ricin-laced letters to do so, but that his anti-gun efforts would not be deterred, despite the threats in the letter addressed to him.
"There's 12,000 people that are going to get killed this year with guns and 19,000 that are going to commit suicide with guns, and we're not going to walk away from those efforts," said Bloomberg, adding that he didn't "feel threatened."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Civilian workers who came into contact with the letters have not shown symptoms of being poisoned by the ricin, police said. Some members of NYPD's emergency service unit who did come into contact with the opened letter in New York initially showed some minor symptoms of ricin exposure, but the symptoms have since abated.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, ricin is a poison found naturally in castor beans. Symptoms can include difficulty breathing, vomiting and redness on the skin depending on how the affected person comes into contact with the poison.
The FBI and NYPD are investigating the threats. Law enforcement officials are also looking to see if other similar letters were sent to the White House, members of Congress or other government offices as a precaution.
The letters were the latest in a string of toxin-laced missives. In Washington state, a 37-year-old was charged last week with threatening to kill a federal judge in a letter that contained ricin. About a month earlier, letters containing the substance were addressed to President Barack Obama, a U.S. senator and a Mississippi judge. A Mississippi man was arrested in that case.
Police said the letter in Washington, D.C., was opened by Mark Glaze, the director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. He was working out of the offices of The Raben Group, a Washington lobbying firm where he keeps an office. Glaze happened to open the letter while sitting outside over the Memorial Day weekend, said the firm's founder, Robert Raben.
"I'm very concerned about our employees and co-workers and clients. I'm sorry that we live in a world in which people do such awful things. Thank God, right now, everybody's physically fine," Raben said by phone Wednesday, adding that the firm would do whatever needed to ensure safety.
A mayor's spokesman also speaking for the nonprofit said he had no comment.

Not to mention that some studies suggest that extreme ups and downs in your weight may increase the risk for certain health problems like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and gallbladder disease. So for the sake of internal and external well-being, make sure you stick to a healthy diet and regular exercise (nothing extreme) if you're trying to lose weight, as well as to maintain a healthy weight!

Design and variants
SKF manufactures super-precision single row and double row cylindrical roller bearings in three different designs and series. The bearings, which can accommodate axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing in both directions, are separable, i.e. the bearing ring with the roller and cage assembly can be separated from the other ring. This simplifies mounting and dismounting, particularly when load conditions require both rings to have an interference fit.

John Lennon's Childhood Home Going to Auction
The current owner of John Lennon's boyhood home is looking for a larger garden, so he's putting the historic red-bricked terrace house up for auction later this month. The late Beatle's first home will go to the highest bidder on Oct. 29.
It's believed that only a few people have owned the home since Lennon and his family moved out when he was five years old. While he lived there for just five years, the place played a significant role in his life and music. The address — 9 Newcastle Rd. in Liverpool — is one of many associations Lennon had with the number nine. It's also believed that he wrote 'One After 909′ there many years later.
The auction listing makes note of the home's proximity to Penny Lane and the area that inspired so many of Lennon's songs. It's a three-bedroom, one-bathroom, two-story home with a bay window. The backyard is walled in, but apparently not large enough for the current owner.
"I am retired now and would really like a property with a bigger garden," the unidentified person said, according to the Independent. "I have made sure original features have been preserved so that they reflect the 1960s period. The main structure of the house and features, such as the original Victorian sliding sash windows, are as they were when John Lennon lived here."
Some modernizing is needed, but the historic nature of the home is expected to draw international interest. The guide price for the auction is between $240,000 and $320,000.

The Fred Step
Fred step: A signature step of Sir Frederick Ashton. Ashton put this distinctive dance into many of his works, like a lucky charm. The basic sequence is a coupé over and under, with a petit devéloppé, pas de bourée, and pas de chat. (Don't worry if you can't follow ballet terminology; all is demonstrated in our film below - and many more basic terms are coming soon to this series.)
Ashton said he first saw the step in Anna Pavlova's Gavotte. Look out for it, for example, in Act I of Cinderella, where the dancing master teaches the step to the Ugly Sisters, and Cinderella later copies it herself.
ABC of ballet: This is the first in a new series of posts, explaining useful ballet terms.

We call Aesthetic Apparatus a "commercial art and printmaking studio." But what does that mean? On the surface, it means our work is a bit too commercial for "fine art", and our studio is a bit too messy for "graphic design." On a deeper level it also means that we have recognized a tendency towards expansion in many studio practices, and see a creative price often paid for unchecked growth. So we designed an intentionally small design studio, and included our small-scale printmaking discipline within it to seal the deal. But balance is important. We're not puritans. We love the tactility of ink on paper, and we also love the shared cultural experience of a well-executed national campaign. Of course, when we're called on to collaborate on such a campaign, the caller would not find themselves in any automated phone system. So are we artists? Inescapably, yes. We feel that emotional tug to create work that reflects our ideas about our world and our existence. But we are also dubious of those white gallery walls that delineate "art" from "everything else." So we are graphic designers as well. We love and respect the creative potential of ideas that need to function and communicate with the public. Basically, we're humans— complex, creative, and up for a challenge— and we've constructed a studio that reflects that. So if you are an established agency who respects our visual ideas, or maybe a small local business owner who sees the added-value of a graphic design studio with its own printmaking division, or a patron of the arts that would just like to tour our messy studio, you should call us. Operators are standing by.

With a 24-hour notice, we take Taylor seniors to and from Taylor-based medical appointments. This is a very important part of our transportation program. This service is provided five days a week, for $2 per appointment.
Field Trips
This is where the fun begins. Our trips are planned by volunteers, each specializing in different areas: theater, plays, the ever-popular casino trip, restaurant roundup, shopping trips, and quilting shows, just to name a few! You think of it, and we will try it!
Picks up Taylor seniors at their home and brings them to the center free of charge. See our Activities Page to see all you can do once you get here! We also offer a different shopping trip each day: Meijer (Mondays), Walmart (Tuesdays), and Kroger (Thursdays).
Friends of the Ford Senior Center
All of our activities take money, so we formed a fund-raising group called The Friends of the Ford Senior Center, which is a 501(c)3 organization.

A will is a legal document that gives instructions about who you want to inherit your money and possessions. Writing a will makes sure that what you leave when you die goes to the people you want it to.
You have to be at least 18 to make a will in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland, you have to be at least 12.
You may find our leaflet called Your step-by-step guide to making a will helpful. You can also find information about making a will on the Marie Curie website.
Charity will-writing services
Some charities offer a free will-writing service. They hope you will use your will to leave them a gift, but you don't have to. This gift is called a legacy. If you use a will-writing service, it's always a good idea to speak to an independent solicitor.
There are different ways of finding charity will-writing services:
- Contact a charity to find out if it offers a free will-making service.
- Contact a free or low-cost charity will-writing service such as willaid.org.uk and willreliefscotland.co.uk
- For a list of charities that offer a free annual will-making service to people aged 55 and over, visit freewillsmonth.org.uk

Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which Nozlee Samadzadeh breaks down our favorite seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more by the numbers.
Today we're learning all about the jewel-like cranberry as it goes from puckeringly sour in the raw to richly sweet when cooked. Native to this continent and a close cousin to blueberries, lingonberries, and huckleberries, the cranberry is so much more than just a Thanksgiving one-off. As American as apple pie? Try as American as cranberry sauce!
1. Origin Stories: Cranberries grow on trailing evergreen vines, preferring sandy, loamy, well-irrigated soil (in a word, bogs) to the garden beds that other berries might require. Their growing cycle runs long -- 16 months! -- with a dormancy period in cold weather that triggers its spring growth spurt, similar to onions and garlic. The common image of cranberry farms is that they're constantly underwater. This isn't entirely true: cranberry bogs are flooded when in bloom to protect their delicate flowers from frost damage, and the bogs are flooded again at harvest so the berries can rise to the surface for easy gathering, but otherwise they stay merely well-watered, not drowned. (With proper soil, irrigation, and fertilization, it's possible to grow cranberries at home -- a vine cutting quickly takes root in new soil.)
2. Color Theory: Ripe cranberries are always red, right? Not so. When they reach full ripeness, cranberries are still white. (This is why it is possible for white cranberry juice to exist.) The extra few weeks it takes them to develop color minorly changes the berries' pectin and sugar content, but is otherwise an aesthetic development. Different varieties of cranberry result in different shades, from deepest black-burgundy to a much lighter range of red-pinks. (Of course, darker berries lend richer color when cooked.) Cranberries are a native plant, but almost all berries sold in stores are of the hybrid Stevens variety, grown to be hardy, large, and prolific. In recent years, older cultivars such as Early Black, Early Red, and Howe have started cropping up at farmers' markets -- keep an eye out for their range of colors and sizes!
3. Skin Deep: Pectin. It's what makes gelée gel, and cranberries have it in spades in their skins and seeds. Without getting overly scientific, heating cranberries causes them to break down and dissolve the pectin within, and the berries' high acidity lets the pectin gel at a much lower sugar percentage than a normal jam would require. (Orange peel also contains pectin, which is why it's a common addition to gelled cranberry sauces.) Canning enthusiasts are welcome to pipe up with additional cranberry facts!
This year, make a resolution to break cranberries free of their side dish status: add them to muffins, stir them into a braise, or candy them whole for an impressive cocktail snack. A final tip: while bags of fresh cranberries are ubiquitous come November, you can find them in your grocery's freezer aisle during the off-months. They defrost well and lose none of their sweet-tart potency, letting you bring cranberries to the table in any season.

"How to" for Lawns– Mowing
How often you cut your lawn will depend on a number of elements. First of all just how much time you have to devote to your yard's upkeep. How quick your lawn grows, and this in turn will depend on whether you fertilise it routinely and whether it receives appropriate water and sunlight. Generally, lawns need to be cut at least one a fortnight to keep them in check, so to speak. For further information please visit Lawn Mowing Services in Lincoln for further details.
One of the worst things you can do for a lawn and a huge misunderstanding is that you can or ought to trim your yard extremely short in order to reduce the variety of times you have to cut it. Grass generally will do far better when cut at a greater setting. This is particularly the case in the summer months, where short yard can frequently be burnt by the sun otherwise. It is suggested that you must never ever be cutting or cutting off more than 1/3 of the length of the yard in a cutting session. If you have let your lawn go and it is far too long, it is recommended that you to start with trim it at a longer cut and after that remow it at a somewhat lower setting. If it is still too long, then you can go over it again in a couple of days time. Although this is time consuming it is the favored technique for taking care of your lawn. Needless to say like having your hair cut, you need to maintain your equipment. In this case make sure your lawn mower blades are sharp and in good condition. Get rid of any stone or other blockages from the lawn prior to trimming to avoid any damage to the mower or lawn.
Other suggestions for mowing a perfect yard:
- Do cut in various instructions, it does not matter which method– whether it is diagonal, horizontal, or vertically each time you cut your lawn. This prevents the lawn blades from curving in a specific instructions after various cuts.
- It is well known that you should never ever trim when your lawn is still wet. The reason for this, nevertheless, is not so well known. There are in fact two reasons for this. To start with, you will not be cutting your lawn uniformly and when it dries might be a lot longer than anticipated. Second of all, you can typically cause fungus to establish itself.
- For the yard bowl appearance of a flatten smooth yard larger yard rollers can be purchased. To utilize these you just roll them over your yard after trimming in great even and straight rows.
Tips to Keep Your Yard Healthy
Do you have a brand-new yard? If so, then you need to understand what the secrets to preserving the health of your yard.
New yard care involves 3 main components: water, cutting and traffic.
New yards need to be watered daily throughout their very first few weeks. This is important in new yard care. Daily watering will assist the roots to get established. Keep the turf really wet. If you are experiencing a dry spell in your location, or if you reside in a very hot environment, you may require to water your new lawn twice a day.
While the key to brand-new lawn care requires keeping the grass moist, you should not over water your new lawn to the point where it is a damp, muddy mess. Try to not fill the soil. If puddles are forming in your lawn, you are watering excessive. Excessive water in the soil can keep the roots of your brand-new turf from attaining deep roots.
If your grass begins to handle a gray color, it is informing you that it is not getting the water it needs. A quick way to see if your yard is getting adequate water is to utilize a knife or screwdriver to dig into the soil. The dirt should be damp to a depth of 6 inches.
Once your new yard has actually passed the two week period, you can reduce watering to two or 3 times weekly. How frequently you water your brand-new lawn at this phase will rely on your environment. A new lawn in a dry climate or in an area that is experiencing substantial dry spell may need to be watered four or 5 times weekly.
New yard care guidelines for sod state that a first mowing can take place within three weeks of planting.
New lawn care standards for seeded lawns state that it might be eight weeks before a mowing is required.
Another key part to preserving the health of your brand-new yard is to never trim your yard unless it is dry. Cutting on new, damp lawn can pull the recently rooted yard out of the soil.
Never ever scalp your new yard yard. It is better for your new yard to be a little high than to be too short. By enabling your brand-new lawn turf to grow a little high before sufficing will make sure that the yard is well rooted and developed prior to it goes through the trauma of a lawn mower blade.
You need to try to limit the amount of traffic on your new yard during the very first couple of weeks after planting. While it is unneeded to keep all traffic off of your new yard, traffic must be kept to a minimum. You will not want your kids riding bikes or playing ball on your new yard yard.
A yard that is not secured from high traffic can be damaged and die. Friction on the new lawn can pull up freshly developed roots that are still weak. Lowering friction is essential in brand-new lawn care.

Banfi Centine Bianco 2008
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the will of the Italian-American brothers, John and Harry Mariani. From the beginning, the goal of the two brothers was to create a state-of-the-art winery combined with the most advanced science in the vineyards for the production of premium wines.
Together with the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's foremost enologists, who understood that due to the richness of the soils and the privileged microclimatic position, the property would have great capacity of development.
One of the most iconic Italian regions for wine, scenery and history, Tuscany is the world's most important outpost for the Sangiovese grape. Ranging in style from fruity and simple to complex and age-worthy, Sangiovese makes up a significant percentage of plantings here, with the white Trebbiano Toscano coming in second.
Within Tuscany, many esteemed wines have their own respective sub-zones, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The climate is Mediterranean and the topography consists mostly of picturesque rolling hills, scattered with vineyards.
Sangiovese at its simplest produces straightforward pizza-friendly wines with bright and juicy red fruit, but at its best it shows remarkable complexity and ageability. Top-quality Sangiovese-based wines can be expressive of a range of characteristics such as sour cherry, balsamic, dried herbs, leather, fresh earth, dried flowers, anise and tobacco. Brunello expresses well the particularities of vintage variations and is thus popular among collectors. Chianti is associated with tangy and food-friendly dry wines at various price points. A more recent phenomenon as of the 1970s is the "Super Tuscan"—a wine made from international grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Syrah, with or without Sangiovese. These are common in Tuscany's coastal regions like Bolgheri, Val di Cornia, Carmignano and the island of Elba.
With hundreds of white grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a variety that creates a soft and full-bodied wine would do well combined with one that is more fragrant and naturally high in acidity. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

WASHINGTON — Well before online bill paying was popular, the Postal Service in 2000 began operating a secure system that would have allowed it to remain the primary conduit for most Americans' monthly payments. But the Internet industry objected, and Congress successfully pressured the Postal Service to abandon it.
The same pattern has repeated several times over the last decade, with the Postal Service identifying a way to cope with the decline of traditional mail, only to have companies — and ultimately Congress — object.
The agency's troubles, which could result in the closing of thousands of post offices and hundreds of mail processing centers as early as next month, have many sources. Some are the inevitable result of technological changes, and others are the result of missteps by the Postal Service.
But top Postal Service officials and outside experts say that another, underappreciated factor has been an insistence by Congress that the service not compete directly with private companies, even as companies like FedEx and U.P.S. have encroached on the Postal Service's turf.
Now, with the volume of traditional mail plummeting and with the agency on the brink of running out of cash, the Senate is debating a bipartisan bill that would let it enter into several new lines of business, like shipping beer and wine. And it would create a chief innovation officer to identify new lines of electronic business. The Senate is expected to vote as early as next week on whether to advance the legislation.
The bill would also provide retirement incentives intended to cut about 20 percent of the Postal Service's 547,000 workers, allow the service to study the elimination of Saturday deliveries, and recoup more than $11 billion that the Postal Service overpaid into one of its pension funds.
The agency's leaders, however, say that cost-cutting alone will not improve its fortunes and that it must increase revenue.
"A lot of the decline in first-class mail is not going to come back, even if the economy improves," said Paul Vogel, the chief marketing and sales officer at the Postal Service. "We realize that the development of new products and offering new service is going to have to be a critical part of our business model going forward. We can't continue to be your grandfather's post office."
Of course, businesses have good reason to not want to compete with the giant Postal Service. But their opposition to its expansion leaves the agency in a bind: It must be financially self-sufficient like a business, but it is saddled with the burdens of a government agency, like having to deliver mail to every house in the country. Its carriers, in fact, deliver some FedEx and United Parcel Service packages in a partnership with those companies.
One of the sponsors of the bill, Senator Thomas R. Carper, Democrat of Delaware, said the legislation has the "potential to push the Postal Service to innovate and experiment with potentially lucrative new lines of business."
Officials from the Postal Service declined to comment on the legislation. But the National Association of Letter Carriers, which hired a Wall Street investment bank to examine new lines of business for the Postal Service, called the bill a stopgap measure because it would allow only a handful of new revenue options.
"This bill does not give the Postal Service the freedom and flexibility to come up with new products and services that take advantage of its strengths," said Jim Sauber, chief of staff for the letter carriers group. "It tinkers with a flawed business model that two years down the line Congress is going to have to deal with again."
The carriers are pushing for more latitude to move into businesses that take advantage of the Postal Service's network of mail routes, like offering banking services in rural post offices.
Since its founding in 1775 as the United States Post Office, with Benjamin Franklin as the original postmaster general, the Postal Service has focused mainly on one thing: delivering the mail. But mail volume, particularly fist-class mail, has dropped sharply, to 168 billion pieces last year from a peak of 213 billion in 2006, because of vast changes in the way Americans communicate, move money and even buy books and music.
The stagnant economy also has not helped. Pessimistic projections put the volume at 118 billion by 2020.
As a result, the service is losing a staggering $36 million a day, after having generated an annual profit as recently as 2006. Because of a Congressional mandate, the service has to pay $5.5 billion annually into a fund for its future retirees, which has added $20 billion in debt since 2007.
The Postal Service is the only federal agency that pre-finances its future retiree health obligations, though the bill would restructure the benefit plan by stretching out the payments over 40 years.
Faced with declining revenue, the Postal Service is asking Congress to allow it to close more than 3,700 post offices and 250 processing centers, and to eliminate Saturday delivery of mail.
In other countries, post offices double as banks or sell insurance or cellphones. In the United States, Congress has barred the Postal Service from entering many of these areas. In the 1990s, forecasting a decline in first-class mail, the Postal Service tried several nonmail products, like phone cards, money transfers and e-mail accounts. But Congress said the ventures created unfair competition for the private sector and did not seem to make much money.
Companies like U.P.S. also objected. According to a 2000 report on the Postal Service's e-commerce activities by the Government Accountability Office, U.P.S.'s position was that "a government monopoly should not be allowed to use the benefits of its government standing to attack the private sector." In 2006, Congress restricted nonpostal activities and told the agency to stick with delivering the mail.
Even so, in 2008, the agency tried to raise additional revenue by selling postal meter cartridges to corporations, branded with its logo. But the plan was shelved after Pitney Bowes, a major supplier of ink cartridges, appealed to postal regulators who answer to Congress, saying that the service would cause "immediate harm" to its business.
The Postal Service said that such restrictions might have cost the agency billions. A 2010 report from the Postal Service's inspector general said introducing 10 new products like secure e-mail, electronic bill payment and even some banking services could add $9.7 billion annually to Postal Service revenue, which was $66 billion in 2011. But over half of those products would require a change in legislation.
Lawmakers like Senator Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, a co-sponsor of the postal reform bill, support limited changes that would allow the agency to increase revenue, like allowing it to sell hunting and fishing licenses and to lease space in its offices to businesses.
Ms. Collins does not support the Postal Service offering a broader array of services like banking. The agency did offer banking services between 1911 and 1967, aimed at immigrants who were used to using post offices to deposit money and at people who had lost confidence in the banks.
Missteps by the agency have also harmed its ability to enter new areas of business. Audits by the Government Accountability Office show that the agency lost millions in offering electronic commerce services, like money transfers, because the products were poorly marketed.
Art Sackler, chairman of the Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service, a mailing industry group that includes companies like FedEx, said the Postal Service should stick to its core mission. "They haven't had a good track record when it comes to developing new lines of business," he said.

Ports-To-Plains — a coalition of communities and alliances that works to improve transportation infrastructure and business networks — recently announced that Catherine "Cathy" Shull will serve on the organization's board of directors. The Ports-To-Plains board of directors consists of 15 members and four officers from states throughout the alliance's corridor, from Texas to Canada. Shull is the executive director of Progressive 15, which is also a grassroots organization that speaks with a single, unified voice on issues related to legislation and policy that affect citizens in Colorado's 15 northeastern counties. Progressive 15 is a member organization of the Ports-To-Plains Alliance.
Ports-To-Plains Vice President of Operations Joe Kiely said that "Cathy, a long-time supporter of rural economics, will bring a clear vision on how transportation is never about a single highway, but about finding alternatives from moving goods to growing markets."
Shull has been an active member of Progressive 15 since its inception in 2001.
She is based in Fort Morgan, where she founded and manages Sage Strategies, a consulting firm. Sage Strategies services include social media marketing, strategic planning, business coaching, one-time project management and nonprofit administration. Additionally, she owns Morgan Now, a mobile event guide. Her goal, she says, "is to support rural roots while building economies in her own backyard."
Shull has served as a member of the Governor's Transportation Implementation and Planning Committee, the State Freight and Passenger Planning project team, has served as a past chair on the Colorado Rural Development Council, is a past executive board member of the National Rural Partnership and currently services on the business advisory council for Morgan Community College.
She grew up on an agricultural operation and has worked in the banking, hospitality and nonprofit industries. Furthermore, she is a University at Las Vegas graduate with a B.S. in Hotel Administration and is working on a M.S. in Organizational Leadership from Colorado State University–Global Campus. She was named the Fort Morgan "Citizen of The Year" in 2002.
The Ports-To-Plains Alliance work includes coordinating work groups to identify barriers to the transportation of goods and services; conducting research on issues, ideas and alternatives; leading marketing efforts for alliance partners wanting to expand economic opportunities; and serving as an advocate for legislative matters affecting communities and businesses within their corridor. Of specific concern for Shull is work to be done on Highway 71, coined the "Heartland South," which lies in the Progressive 15 regions.
"As we work to get the connector piece on Highway 71 completed between Limon and the Nebraska border, our involvement becomes even more important. Along with Highway 71, the other north/south corridors in our region will all benefit from the economic development the completion of this corridor will bring," Shull said.

Oh hey! After weeks of halfbaked attempts and botched efforts, yesterday's top kill procedure has stopped the flow of oil into the Gulf, according to the Coast Guard. Soon engineers will start cementing and then sealing the well.
You can expect that excellent news to lose just a bit of its luster later in the day, when an interagency team will release a revised estimate of how much oil was actually pumping into the ocean this whole time; it could well be a lot more than the 5000 barrel a day figure that was initially reported. Regardless, if "top kill" was as successful as these early reports suggest, it marks a huge milestone in what will undoubtedly be a long road to ecological and economic recovery in the area.
