text: As production rates soar, aerospace and defense companies need to make sure that the digital transformation of their supply chains catches up with the digitally enabled aircrafts and systems they're delivering to the market. Traditional supply chains need to become dynamic supply networks. And while technology has an important part to play in driving that transformation, the most decisive factor will be how digital integrates with existing processes and systems.

cynicist needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 316 designs submitted by 91 freelance designers.
Rush Creek
We are a family trying to start a site about living a simpler and self-reliant lifestyle. There are really many facets to this, but the idea is that it will the web equivalent of listening to your grandparents tell you about how life was like when they were growing up and ideas and resources to live a simpler life. It's going to grow as we go along, but imagine a site where you could find information about anything from how to tie a tie to how to grow a garden and feed your family without relying on a grocery store. The site will have a blog and a store.
We are really targeting a large group of people. Anyone who is interested in a simpler lifestyle or who wants to learn a traditional skill. We want to appeal to as many people as possible without marginalizing any specific group.
We want to be a classy and timeless design. Something simple and bold that can be used as the symbol of our brand. Think of many of the classic and easily recognizable brands. Ideally this design will look good in a variety of formats. Even as an embroidered logo on clothing or products. Recently I have been leaning towards a logo that involves negative space, but I am open to different styles.
Be capable of being used in
-letterhead, business cards, etc.
-as a watermark in the corner of pictures
-Needs to look good in black/white also.
-We need to own our logo 100%, to be able to be used as we desire, with no usage permitted by any other person.
- If your design includes words or lettering, then I must be able to separate and graphical component from the words.
-100% vectorized .ai file
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

text: I've been harping on security companies to do a better job with getting some mainstream press, but it seems at least one Canadian company doesn't need my advice. After hearing that a 91-year-old man had been robbed three times in a week, Webnet Global Security Systems offered to install and monitor a security system for the guy, free of charge. Now that's how you get good press. Plus, the company is brand-new, part of WebNet Global, a wireless mesh provider looking to bring wireless broadband services to the home. What better way to kick things off (notice the security link I provided above takes you to a page under construction) than with some feel-good story about helping out a helpless old man? I mean, you couldn't ask for better press than this: "They thought it was an awful thing that happened, and we decided to do something for the gentleman, at no cost to him, because he's 91 years old and these perpetrators are preying on him," Gilroy said. "We will not ask for one dime from him for anything," he said. "There will be no charge for monitoring, for installation. Nothing. Just a free system installed to help the guy out." Don't you have a 91-year-old in your community who could use a hand? (I could make a bad joke about his impact on your attrition numbers, but I'll refrain.)

Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., secured 20 yes votes from Senate Appropriations Committee members in support of his amendment to bar the Treasury Department from enforcing its U.S.-Cuba regulation in fiscal year (FY) 2012. The regulation requires that cash payments for Cuban purchases of U.S. agricultural goods be transferred through a third-country bank. If the amendment were to become law, Cuban buyers could transfer funds directly to a U.S. bank. Moran amended the committee's FY 2012 Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill, which includes Treasury Department funding.
Congress authorized the sale of U.S. farm commodities to Cuba in 2000, but only on a cash basis through third-country banks, which adds costs to U.S. agricultural exports, rendering them more expensive and less competitive.
The committee bill goes next to the Senate for debate with timing on action uncertain.
USA Rice Federation is an industry leader in promoting legislative and regulatory changes to expand trade and travel with Cuba, and was successful in encouraging rice-state senators to support the Moran amendment.

Creature Feature
NOTE: This list is about mostly non-sentient creatures of natural, alien or scientific origin running amok. Since ""creature feature"" is in a way a sub-genre of science fiction, supernatural beasties need not apply. As usual, only theatrical releases, i.e. movies that actually have box office grosses to their names, are counted. That's important to note here as most ""creature features"" go straight to video or cable.

Every time I get on a plane or pick up a prescription at the pharmacy, I think how fortunate it is that I don't run anything but my mouth.
As I go about my day, I think "I sure hope fill-in-the-occupation is having a good day today." That's because I trust my life to others a million times over; we all do, from the van driver who takes us to the airport, to the grocery clerk who sells us our food.
If any of the people who make our lives possible screws up, the consequences can be fatal.
If I screw up, the worst that can happen is you get mad and send my boss a nasty email or line the litter box with my column.
Maybe I get fired. That would be very bad.
Still, nobody's going to die.
Not so at the Veterans Affairs hospitals. At least 40 have already died in the Phoenix area alone.
Last week President Obama finally addressed this mushrooming scandal with strong words, insisting the neglect of our veterans will not be tolerated.
But it has been tolerated.
The president acknowledged disgracefully slow patient care has been par-for-the-course at the VA for decades. Decades! "Caring for our veterans is one of the causes of my presidency," the commander in chief said.
He has an odd way of showing it.
We're in year six of his presidency. Why does it still take months for a veteran to see a doctor?
But this scandal goes beyond poor service. It's crossed the line to criminal negligence.
The Department of Veterans Affairs appears to have been more concerned with protecting itself than protecting America's veterans.
How many times have we seen this before? It's the Los Angeles Unified School District in a nutshell, with school board members, administrators, union leaders and vendors fighting amongst themselves while the students continue to struggle.
Here's what we know.
Under pressure to reduce patient wait time, the Phoenix VA created phantom lists that hid patients from the data collectors.
When a veteran arrived for treatment and no doctor or treatment program was available, the hospital parked their name on a stealth list where they vanished from the system. Forty and possibly many more died while waiting to receive care.
Here's what we don't know.
Who created this scheme? It didn't happen by accident.
Hospital administrators received bonuses based in part on reducing the wait time at their facilities. Unable to actually improve service, they did the next best thing — made it look like they improved service.
Meanwhile, patients were dying. The president and congressional investigators assure us they will discover who authorized this monstrous scheme.
While mistakes are part of life and sometimes mistakes have grave consequences, there's a difference between a tragic accident and cold-blooded disregard for human life.
The American public needs to know who was in the room when this idea was hatched. We owe it to our veterans to find out how this practice spread.
And we need to prosecute those responsible.
Just like executives at General Motors should be prosecuted for rolling the dice on your life when they decided to cover up a potentially fatal ignition switch flaw that killed 13. GM was slapped with a $35 million fine and Attorney General Eric Holder assured us this would "send a message."
You know what would really send a message? Six-to-10 in federal prison.
Last week Petco said it would stop importing dog treats manufactured in China after it was revealed a thousand dogs had died from tainted snacks. I hope we don't have to lose a thousand veterans before the VA cleans up its act.
These past dozen years have been difficult ones for our military and their loved ones. We've used our Armed Forces hard. While we can argue over policy and funding and the morality of America's wars abroad from now until the Second Coming, there's no justification for a bureaucracy putting self-interest ahead of those who have put it all on the line in the service of their country.

There was a time, not that long ago, when clubs and countries favoured physically imposing footballers.
Many of the so-called shorter footballers were turned away before having the chance to turn professional on account of their smaller statures.
But fortunately things have advanced since then - and no club would now reject a promising youngster on account of their size, thanks largely to the success of many small players over the years, including the ten stars who feature on this list.
In fact, many of the world's very best footballers of this current generation are players most would put into the 'small' category.
This list features the ten best stars in world football who are 5ft 8in or smaller.

Man Without Cellphone Ticketed For Talking On Cellphone While Driving
We don't have a problem with police officers enforcing laws that prohibit people from driving and talking on their cellphones at the same time. Where we draw the line is at the application of this law to a man who didn't even have a cellphone in the car with him.
A man in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada says he was pulled over while driving with his wife last Friday. The police officers gave him a $199.80 ticket for violating the rules about driving while cellphone-chatting, but the man says neither he nor his wife were carrying — or even own — a mobile phone.
He pleaded with the officers to search the car to make sure he hadn't stashed a phone out of sight.
"I told them, 'Do whatever it takes. There's no phone in here; never has been. I don't know anything about the phone.' But they won't have it," he told CBC News. "They were just going crazy, going to arrest me, and they were nasty to my wife as well."
Adding insult to injury, when they went to the local police station to complaint about the allegedly bogus ticket, the man says another officer laughed and suggested that the ticket had been written to fill a quota.
So all that's left for the man to do now is fight the ticket in court.
"We're not going to stand for this. It's just not right," he says. "[This] is a lot of money for anyone, but especially when you didn't do it."

Fantastic find in a newspaper!
But this time it is a current newspaper that got me and my family excited. On 27 July the paper in question ran a feature to mark the 60th anniversary of the signing of the peace treaty of Panmunjom which brought the Korean War to an end. My aunt is a regular reader of the paper, and was interested in the feature because her late husband, my uncle Tommy, had served in that war. She got the surprise of her life when she looked at picture of a group of soldiers and right in the middle of the picture, there was Tommy!
She rang the newspaper and asked if she could have some copies of the picture, which she was perfectly willing to pay for, but instead they said they would send her a couple of copies, free of charge! We are a big family, so quite a few of us wanted copies. Technology to the rescue; you can take pretty good pictures with a mobile phone, so a copy of the photo has now been emailed around (it took me about half an hour on the phone instructing my mother, step by step, how to forward an email to me, but we got there eventually).
I've chosen not to show the picture, because the copyright belongs to the paper, and I haven't named the paper either, because they might not appreciate being 'outed' as a paper that gives away free pictures. Sorry about that. So you have a nice generic picture of the badge of the Black Watch, my uncle's regiment. I thought the story was worth telling, though, because it shows how you can find pieces of family history in surprising places, and when you are least expecting them. So remember to keep your eyes peeled, folks

Normand Latourelle came to fame as one of the founders of the Canadian entertainment juggernaut Cirque du Soleil. But the impresario soon banished the idea of a circus without animals. Indeed, his smash hit "Cavalia," now galloping up a storm in San Jose, is a valentine to the equine.
Far more spectacular than in its initial Bay Area bow back in 2004, "Cavalia" is an unbridled homage to horses, and if you know your Percherons and your Spanish paint horse from your Appaloosas, it may well be the hottest ticket of the year.
I've never heard as many collective "aws" generated by an audience. Ever. Many theatergoers seemed to know their way around a steeplechase. But even if you're not a member of the horsey set, there is no denying the beauty and majesty of these stallions. There are 49 such elegant creatures in this 2½-hour show, and it's hard to take your eyes off of them as they trot about one of the world's largest touring tents, an ethereal white big top.
While the special effects are also stunning, from the dreamlike projections to the acrobatic derring-do, it's the simple pleasures of watching the horses race that leaves the greatest impression on this reviewer.
Make no mistake, the trick-riding is mesmerizing, from the woman who rides six horses a la Ben-Hur to the fellow who does back flips on horseback. The lass with the lasso works magic with a rope. The two female aerial contortionists also dazzle with their high-flying ballet. They twirl, spin and tumble right over the heads of two horses but they never spook them.
Still, time and again, the eye wanders back to the horses. They are the divas here, from their glossy manes to their fluffy tails, and they know it. If you ever fell in love with a pony as a child, this show will take you back to that crush.
Latourelle (who also created the horse epic "Odysseo") actually encourages the horses to ad-lib, and the warmth between the animals and their trainers is quite palpable. That bond and the fact that the horses clearly enjoy charging around the 160-foot stage at flat-out breakneck speed, gives "Cavalia" its spark. For the record, every horse has its own understudy, they travel by 747, and they get regular vacations back at the farm.
Of course, the finer points of dressage are lost on me, but after one or two interludes involving horses marching in formation, I found much more magic in the "liberty" sequence when the animals were left to roam free, nuzzling each other or rolling around in the dirt as they pleased. The serene moments, such as the opening number, when two foals gambol about, are also quite lovely.
As it happens, like toddlers, horses are even cuter when they misbehave. One horse refused to stop licking another. Another wanted to lead the pack. While the trainer guided most of the horses to run in one direction, one of the steeds insisted on going his own way, repeatedly, and his rambunctiousness stole the show.
While Cirque devotees may delight in the show's over-the-top eye-candy, from Manon Desmarais' elfin costumes to Erick Villeneuve's scenic projections, to my eye, the horses were fetching enough to hold our attention without these embellishments. In fact, if the show has a flaw it's that it goes a little overboard. The running time is longish, the bleacher seating a tad cramped, and you start to feel a little sorry for the acrobats.
Even a gold medalist can't compete with these horses when it comes to sheer star quality.

How is it possible to make a movie this bad?
It has a who's who of B-Movie actors, from Malcolm McDowell , to "Downtown" Julie Brown and the the kid who played Rufio in Hook (Dante Basco).
This film is disappointing in nearly every way a movie can be. First of all, it's so slowly paced that, even at just 90 minutes, it's too long. Secondly, the casting is just terrible. Costas Mandylor-who was at his best in Picket Fences -is the main villain, Lord Shin. He mugs and grimaces at the camera and delivers his line in a way that a nine year old might find scary. Also it doesn't help he's wearing a ridiculous wig that he can't stop playing with.
But probably the most grievous of all the miscues in this movie, is the casting of a kick boxer as the man who supposed to be the Fist of the Northstar. Gary Daniels plays Kenshirô, the titular Fist-and he's aggressively unappealing in the role. He wanders his way through a Dystopian Landscape TM that is caused by an unknown event at an unspecified time, as Malcolm McDowell vaguely puts it an opening monologue that says "bad things happened" as we scroll past a demolished city.
Not that we need motivation for violence in a movie, but if you're going to have a flashback explaining everything, you might want to give it to us while we still care. You see, apparently Shin betrayed Kenshirô and poked a punch of holes in chest, one by one, with his index finger-as the lady they'd been feuding over looked on. We get to see this in a flashback that looks like it was filmed on the set of a high school production of MacBeth, and it takes far too long to get to it.
Before that, Lord Shin's Goon Squad-consisting of Chris Penn and Clint Howard -hassle and capture a bunch of rebels, the aforementioned Downtown Julie Brown, and Melvin Van Peebles. Yes, that Melvin Van Peebles. The movie is cut up between the goon squad doing bad things, and then Lord Shin saying how it's all part of his master plan, wash, rinse repeat.
After a bunch of vaguely related scenes and some very boring fight sequences with gratuitous slow-mo, we at last get to the final battle between Shin and Ken. Personally, I rooted for Ken, because Lord Shin dresses like he was at a fashion show for Super villains ("This fall, all the most stylish dystopian dictators will be going with the lace-up leather tank top.")
Can you Cavalcade this movie? Sure, but we don't recommend it. It's too dull. But if you just really had to, this movie could go well with Street Fighter: The Movie, just in terms of sheer badness.

1 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons tangerine juice
2 egg whites
1 tangerine cut into thin slices
pinch salt
Beat the egg whites and salt to soft peaks using an electric mixer. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring sugar, tangerine and water to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Continue to boil until it reaches soft ball stage (when a drop of the syrup forms a soft ball when dropped in cool water)while continuing to stir occasionally. Strain out the tangerine slices (and zest). Keep the mixer running (you need a stand mixer or a friend to complete this next step) while you pour a continuous stream of the molten syrup into the egg whites. Continue to beat for about 5 minutes or until the frosting is fluffy, glossy and cool. Allow the tangerine slices to cool and harden on a wire rack. Frost cooled cupcakes, top with tangerine slices.
*If your icing isn't very orange, you can add a drop or two of food coloring to help it along.

I received recently a generous gift from Father Patrick Henry Reardon: the new, revised version of his classic book, Christ in the Psalms. The new edition includes a helpful Introduction, wherein Reardon explains what the book is about, emphasizing toward the end its Christocentric focus. There are also substantive changes to his discussions of five Psalms. Although my brief comments below do not do the book justice, I want to highlight one of his new entries: Psalm 73. Here Reardon recounts Asaph's reflections on the act of Creation as an act of deliverance or liberation. As Reardon observes, "[n]othingness was not neutral. Existence is not natural to nothingness" (145). In other words, God's act of creating ex nihilo, was, especially given the resonance with such "battle" imagery in the ancient world, a conquering of forces opposed to God. Creation, thus, contains, so to speak, an imprint of future redemptive historical events. Listen to Reardon's re-contexualization of Creation as the original Exodus or act of deliverance.
Centuries before parting the Red Sea. He [God] divided the more primitive waters, cleaving the fountains and the flood, cracking open the multiple heads of the sea monster in order to feed, with their meat, the peoples of Ethiopia. Creation, that is to say, was the initial Exodus, a deliverance from bondage, a redemption from the deep dungeon of non-being. The Lord smote that more ancient Pharaoh and fed him to His hungry creatures (145).
Reardon goes on to describe creation as "both a moral and a metaphysical act" (145). That is, God's ordering of the chaos, his taking "hold on the tohu wabohu and invoke[ing] His light of the darkness of the abyss" are redemptive, salvific acts. "He did this in the sense that in the very heart of Creation, its arche or principle, there is a deed of redemption, the world's deliverance from the oppression of primeval chaos" (145). As God's covenant of creation "unfolded" (here one is hindered by language itself—as T.S. Eliot reminds us, "Words strain, Crack and sometimes break, under the burden, Under the tension, slip, slide, perish, Decay with imprecision"; "Burnt Norton," V, in Four Quartets), he created time and space. The former is intimately tied to the and given expression in the liturgical calendar, whereas the latter is connected to his sanctuary. Reardon's meditation on Ps. 73 ends by reflecting on how we, in our present human condition, attempt to undo Creation and thus to return it to chaos.
Of all the evils lamented by Aspah, therefore, the worst are the desecrations of sacred space and sacred time. God's enemies destroyed the first with ax and fire, the second by the suppression of feast days. Man becomes the Lord's enemy in the space dedicated for worship and glorifies himself in the sacred time set aside to glorify God. Both space and time are thus defiled. Rebellious man, by this desecration of his life, returns Creation to the primeval chaos. Living outside the covenant inherent in the structure of the world, he endeavors to undo what God has done (146).
(Although Reardon doesn't develop an environmental ethic from this Psalm, I suspect he would be very open to the suggestion).

In order to fill out a NAFTA Certificate of Origin, first you must determine if the product qualifies for preferential tariff treatment under the NAFTA Rules of Origin.
Once you have determined that your product qualifies for NAFTA, read below for how to declare that the product qualifies for preferential tariff treatment.
NAFTA Certificate of Origin
The exporter is responsible for filling out the NAFTA Certificate of Origin, not the importer.
Once an exporter has determined the product qualifies for NAFTA, the exporter needs to fill out a NAFTA Certificate of Origin UNLESS the product going to Canada or Mexico is valued at LESS than $1,000 USD. In these cases, the exporter simply needs to make a written declaration on the commercial invoice stating that the product is NAFTA qualifying.
NAFTA Certificate of Origin (pdf from Customs and Border Protection)
Fill out the NAFTA Certificate of Origin online.
For more detailed information on how to fill out the NAFTA Certificate of Origin see the videos below:
Once the Certificate is completed, the exporter needs to send the original or a copy of the Certificate of Origin to the importer. It is recommended that a copy of the Certificate of Origin is also included with the shipment. The exporter is required to keep all documentation of NAFTA claims until five years or such longer period as a Party may specify after the completion of the transaction.
Instructions on Filling out the Certificate of Origin
Block 1: The Name, Address, and Tax Identification number of the exporter.
Block 2: This block is optional. If the exporter ships the same product to the same importer on a frequent basis, the exporter only needs to fill out one Certificate of Origin each year and put in the blanket period the time period (up to one year).
Block 3: Enter the name and address of the producer. NOTE: If the person filling out the form wants to keep the name of the producer confidential, then write: AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMS UPON REQUEST is sufficient.
Block 4: The name, address, and tax identification number of the importer.
Block 5: Provide a description of the goods.
Block 6: Enter the first SIX digits of the HS Tariff Classification Number, also commonly referred to as the Schedule B number.
Block 7: The preference criterion tells customs how the exporter determined the product qualifies for NAFTA preferential tariff treatment. There are 6 categories.
Block 8: Enter yes if you are the producer of the good. Enter no if you are not the producer of the good.
Block 9: Net Cost: Enter NC if the rule of origin requires a regional value content qualification and if you use the net cost method rather than the transaction value method. In ALL other instances enter NO.
Block 10: Enter country of origin. Only US, CA, MX, or JT (meaning jointly produced in Mexico and the United States) should be inputted in this block.
Block 11: Sign and enter the name and additional information of the person filling out the form.
Special Cases
In some cases, a considerable amount of research into the inputs in the production of the goods is required in order to determine origin. Many exporters and importers believe that the only time that the declaration of origin can be provided is at the time the shipment clears customs, creating a sense of urgency in determining the origin of the goods. To obtain the reduced duty rate immediately, this is true. The importer, however, could pay the non-preferential duties at the time the goods clear customs and then has up to one year from the date on which the goods were imported to apply for a refund of excess duties paid as a result of the good not being accorded preferential treatment at the time of entry. At the time of the application for refund, the importer is required to supply a written declaration of the goods' originating status, a copy of the Certificate of Origin and other documentation relating to the importation of the good that the Party may require.
In some situations, an exporter may find that multiple shipments of identical goods are being sent to the same importer in Canada or Mexico. In these cases, it is not necessary to create new written declarations of origin for each individual shipment. The exporter can fill out the blanket period section of the form with two dates up to one year apart, and during that time period, the importer can maintain that one certificate of origin and present it at Customs at the acceptance of each shipment.
Supporting Documentation
The issuer of a written declaration of origin is required to have it available, in addition to other supporting documentation used in demonstrating that the good qualifies as originating under the NAFTA rules of origin, for a period of FIVE years from the date of importation of the good for products going to Canada and for a period of TEN years from the date of importation of the good for products going to Mexico.

The options market is signaling the threat of a breakup in the 17-nation euro bloc is disappearing as the price of insurance against wild swings in the region's single currency fall to a five-year low.
Butterfly options that protect against both gains and declines slid to the lowest since March 2008 on Feb. 4. Implied volatility on three-month options on the euro-dollar exchange rate has risen about half as much as a broader gauge of currency volatility this year.
The currencies of nations with top credit ratings have dropped against the euro over the past six months as concern eased that Europe's currency union would unravel. The bonds of Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy -- the region's most indebted-economies-- have been the best performers among sovereign debt in that period, indexes tracked by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analyst Societies show.
"People are talking about the great rotation out of fixed income and into equities now, but the real great rotation we've been seeing is a rotation back into the euro," said David Woo, head of global rates and currencies research at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York. "You could argue that this is a climax to the normalization of risk that began last summer."
Bank Repayments
Stress in European funding markets has eased since July, according to the Bloomberg Financial Conditions Monitor, the same month European Central Bank President Mario Draghi pledged to do whatever it takes to preserve the monetary union. The Euro Financial Conditions Index exceeded zero in September for the first time since August 2007. It's highest close this year was 0.665 on Jan. 25.
Draghi lent more support to so-called peripheral debt markets in September when he unveiled an unlimited bond-purchase plan, called Outright Monetary Transactions, or OMT. The bonds of Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy have risen at least 11% in the past six months, leading gains among 26 EFFAS indexes of sovereign debt.
On Jan. 30, 278 financial institutions returned 137.2 billion euros ($183 billion) in the first opportunity for early repayment of the ECB's initial three-year loans, part of its Long-Term Refinancing Operation. The ECB's first of two three-year loan operations totaled 489 billion euros. Banks have continued to make repayments in the weeks following.

SACRAMENTO — The smell of the blossoms had drawn Mike Williams to the rose garden sometime after midnight. Capitol Park security guards were scarce at that hour, and he hoped to get a little sleep.
At 60, the medical technology inventor and entrepreneur was homeless, his money gone, his 28-year marriage over.
But on that August night, things got worse: Williams was awakened by brutal kicks to his midsection. The thieves grabbed his backpack and laptop — which he'd been using to chronicle his unexpected journey.
When he was able, Williams stumbled two miles to an emergency room.
"My biggest fear was that I'd lose my faith," Williams said recently. "But it took those guys who beat me up for me to meet Dr. Chen."
A 72-year-old urologist with an easy laugh, Jong L. Chen later operated on the homeless man's damaged prostate — treating him "with total respect and love," Williams said.

Anyone can do the block of the month correct? Do you just do it and post your pic or do you swap them? I am a little confused but curious. I would like to try them but still new so I am sure there are a few I wouldn't be able to do yet..lol.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Anyone can do the block of the month correct? Do you just do it and post your pic or do you swap them? I am a little confused but curious. I would like to try them but still new so I am sure there are a few I wouldn't be able to do yet..lol.
Yep, you're right on the nail Toni :thumbup: , any one can do them, I have had alot of fun making the BOMs on here, and if you get behind like I do, it's no worries cause they,re always waiting for you when you're ready. You keep your own block so you can make them in the colours and fabric you wish and there's no pressure, you only need to do the blocks that you want to do. You can post a pic of your block if you are able and willing, please do if you can, cause we all love to see everyones different interpretations of each block, that's half the fun :P .
Also if you want to join the list to select a block all you need to do is PM patrice and ask, you don't have to be on the list to make the blocks. Hope you really enjoy making the BOMs and have alot of fun with them over the coming year :P
Yes, newquilter, anyone can do the block. They're great fun and provide you with practice piecing. I'm still kind of new at it, so my blocks look a little wonky, but I'm still proud of them!
Please give them a try. And if you have any trouble, just ask questions. The quilters on this board are pros all the way. I've learned SO MUCH! They are so good! And willing to share their expertise!
I started the blocks months ago but I wish I had used coordinating fabrics. I'd have half a quilt by now! I started the December 1 block with coordinating fabrics, so I'm hoping to have something to put together in six months. Just a thought...but it's also fun with your scrap fabrics!
I've only participated in one of the BOM projects. It was sooo pretty I just had to try it. It was my very firstest block ever, and is s-l-o-w-l-y becoming my very firstest top! I'm going to try very hard with the new year, to keep up with all the BOMs. The was thanks to the wonderful folks here and their inspiration that prompted me to try my first one after researching quilting and techniques to death!!! Give them a try, and have tons and tons of fun!!!
Yes, Toni, you can join in at any time on the BOMs! Do the ones you want to try, save some for later...make them at your own pace! If one looks too scary to try now, go on to the next one. Maybe in a few months you'll want to come back to that other one.
And Chele... they don't have to coordinate! Go wild!!! I KNOW you can do that! LOL
Toni, DO join in, anytime. As you've read the sky's the limit and you can do what of them you want. We've all learned so much from them.....enjoy.
Happy Quilting,

Ohio Gov. John R. Kasich temporarily stayed the execution of Ronald Phillips in November while medical experts assess the inmate's request to donate his organs. Phillips was sentenced to death for the 1993 brutal rape and murder of 3-year-old Sheila Marie Evans, his girlfriend's daughter.
"Ronald Phillips committed a heinous crime for which he will face the death penalty," the governor said in a Nov. 13 statement. "I realize this is a bit of uncharted territory for Ohio, but if another life can be saved by his willingness to donate his organs and tissues then we should allow for that to happen."
According to the governor's office, Phillips' non-vital organs could be removed if he is a viable donor to his mother or others awaiting transplants. After the procedure, he would be returned to death row to await his execution, rescheduled for July 2, 2014.
The stay has sparked ethical questions about inmates donating organs. Some have suggested allowing death-row inmates to donate organs could influence a court's decision on issuing the death penalty.
The Catholic Church encourages organ donation, but teaches that the death penalty is rarely justified.
The Church "does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor," according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (No. 2267). Blessed John Paul II wrote in Evangelium Vitae ("The Gospel of Life") that the death penalty could only be justified in rare cases.
Kevin Werner, executive director of Ohioans to Stop Executions, said his organization would not take a position on the stay, "but we're happy Mr. Phillips wasn't executed."
"Is it positive? It cuts both ways," Werner said of the decision, noting that the governor still maintains that Phillips should be executed.
"In principle, there do not appear to be fundamental moral objections to allowing death-row prisoners to donate their own organs after death, as long as such donations are freely made, without undue pressure or compulsion," Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk, director of education at the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia, told Our Sunday Visitor.
If the judicial system "incentivized" donations among prisoners, say by staying their death sentence for a period, that could be a problem, he said.
"Even when prisoners are not on death row, it strikes me as morally problematic to offer reduced sentences in exchange for organ or bone-marrow donations," he said.
Various states have considered promoting organ donation among inmates. Some have even contemplated shortened sentences in exchange for organ or bone-marrow donations.
"The cardinal principle must be that organ donation should occur freely and as an act of generosity, and care must be taken to prevent coercive or manipulative situations from developing," Father Pacholczyk said.
The Catholic Conference of Ohio does not plan to take a position on the governor's stay of Ronald Phillips execution, said Carolyn Jurkowitz, executive director of the conference.
"There are medical and technical issues involved in this particular case that go beyond the conference's stance regarding the death penalty and organ donation," she told OSV. "For many years, it has been the practice of the Ohio bishops to petition the governor, prior to every execution, that he not impose the death penalty, but consider life imprisonment without parole, instead."
The bishops of Ohio took a public stand against the death penalty in 2011. "Just punishment can occur without resorting to the death penalty. Our Church teachings consider the death penalty to be wrong in almost all cases," the bishops wrote. "Every human being is a child of God, no matter what sins the person commits. Every human life has infinite dignity because it is designed by God to be immortal."
Capital punishment "curtails one of the greatest goods of all — namely, life itself — and constitutes a presumed form of civil satisfaction for the crimes committed," Father Pacholczyk said.
Yet being on death row does not preclude the possibility of exercising "lesser liberties," like donating organs, he added. Those executed by the state may express their desires for burial site, funeral wishes or have a personal will and testament.
Some, upon hearing that Phillips wanted to donate his organs to his mother and his sister, have said it should not be allowed because his crimes were so grave. He should not be allowed to "redeem himself" by making this gift of his organs, it has been argued.
"However, the ultimate purpose of a judicial system cannot be to offer merely crushing punitive measures, even for the most heinous crimes, nor to prevent charitable or redemptive acts from occurring," Father Pacholczyk said.
While Phillips would like to give his kidney to his mother, he would also like to donate his heart to his sister. That won't happen, though, because donations of vital organs "have not been allowed during U.S. executions because of ethical issues," according to the Death Penalty Information Center website.
Delaware allowed a death-row inmate to donate a kidney to his mother in 1995, according to the center, though Florida previously denied a similar request for organ donation. Texas allows general prisoners to donate non-vital organs, but not those on death row.
The purpose of the judicial system, Father Pacholczyk said, is "to provide appropriately tailored punishments in the hope that some kind of rehabilitation may possibly transpire."
Punishments "would, at a minimum, deter future criminal behavior and, more broadly, lead toward deeper human conversion and redemption," he said. "The charitable act of donating one's organs after death could potentially be involved in such a process in the life of an inmate."

LOS ANGELES—Six days later, and Marcus Camby still can't believe what went down.
It does seem a bit difficult to fathom.
The Los Angeles Clippers acquired Camby, the NBA's leading shot-blocker the past three seasons, from the Denver Nuggets last Tuesday for the option to exchange second-round picks with the Clippers in 2010.
And that's all.
"When I heard of the trade, I said, 'Who did Denver get in return?'" Camby said Monday at an introductory news conference.
The answer was nobody, although the Nuggets are relieved of Camby's $10 million salary-cap figure. Trading second-round picks certainly won't be a major development, no matter where the teams might be choosing.
"Yes," Camby answered quickly when asked if the Nuggets gave him away.
The 12-year NBA veteran was just beginning.
"I understand this is a business," he said. "No one said a word (about the trade), I found out from my agent."
Camby had been in Las Vegas working out with several of his former teammates and was informed of the trade shortly thereafter, upon returning to his Houston home.
"I thought the way (the Nuggets) went about it was classless," he said. "I thought it could have gone down a whole lot better. I'll get over it once training camp begins when I'm around the guys. You never forget. I'm definitely looking forward to those couple games we play against Denver.
"Denver was a place my family and I really loved. It was kind of shocking. I felt I did everything possible for that team."
And, he added, in the community as well.
Camby, a 6-foot-11, 235-pounder, averaged 9.1 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.61 blocked shots last season, his sixth with the Nuggets. He joined Dikembe Mutombo as the only player to lead the NBA in blocked shots for three straight seasons, and his four blocked shot titles are tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Mark Eaton for the most in league history.
Camby, under contract for two more years, said the only calls he's received from people connected with the Nuggets have been from the trainer, strength coach and several former teammates including Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson and Kenyon Martin.
"They're sad to see me go," he said. "These guys were like brothers to me. It's kind of sad the way things ended up. I wish those guys a lot of individual success. Losing a great defender, they'll probably give up more points next year. That's something they'll have to deal with."
The Nuggets have been eliminated from the playoffs in the first round in each of the past five years. Camby said being traded the way he was left him feeling like a scapegoat. He was the NBA defensive player of the year in the 2006-07 season and finished second behind Boston's Kevin Garnett in the voting this season.
The 33-year-old Camby was the second big-name player to join the Clippers this month. Baron Davis left Golden State to sign a five-year, $65 million contract with his hometown team. The Clippers also signed restricted free agent Kelenna Azubuike to a three-year, $9 million offer sheet late last week.
With Elton Brand and Corey Maggette leaving as free agents, the Clippers will have a completely different look next season. Hit hard by injuries, they went 23-59 this season, two years after falling one victory shy of reaching the Western Conference finals.
"I'm excited being here," Camby said. "We all know we have a lot of work to do. I think being here is a blessing in disguise. The pieces are in place here. Denver let it be known they didn't want me. I always want to be in a place where I'm wanted. I'm definitely feeling the love today.
"I have nothing against the Clippers. I think they have great talent. I think last year was a fluke year, with all the injuries. It's a new beginning for me. I'm real eager to embark on this challenge."
Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy envisions a starting lineup of Camby, Chris Kaman and Al Thornton up front with Davis and Cuttino Mobley in the backcourt.
"That gives us scoring, size, post-up defense, rebounding, everything you could hope for," Dunleavy said. "We have a definite core and probably nine-man rotation right now that I think is a very good one.
Among the projected reserves are Azubuike, if the Warriors don't match the offer sheet; Tim Thomas; Brevin Knight, and first-round draft pick Eric Gordon.
Dunleavy said once Brand decided to leave and the Clippers began looking at the options they might have, he targeted Camby.
"He was the first and foremost guy I wanted to get. I didn't think it would be possible," the coach said. "It happened quickly, it was just really great for us. I have a bad knee, but I jumped pretty high when I heard that news. I think he's just a great fit for our team. He's one of the best passing big men in the league, he's just so smart.
"Who cares about the other side of the deal. We got the right side of it."
Camby and Kaman have both been listed as centers during their respective careers.
"We'll put the guys in interchangeable positions," Dunleavy said.
"Chris can play (center) when we play Phoenix," Camby said with a smile, drawing laughter from the assembled gathering. The Suns' center is Shaquille O'Neal.

By KATHRYN FLAGG
BRISTOL — After serving as a local civic leader for years, lifelong Bristol resident John "Peeker" Heffernan, 46, has turned his eye on statewide politics for the first time.
The current selectman and fire chief is throwing his cap into the ring in the race for a seat in the Vermont House of Representatives, running as a Republican against Addison-4 Representative District incumbents Michael Fisher and David Sharpe, both Democrats.
Heffernan came to the decision to run just weeks ago, he said, after weighing the advice of close friends, family members and neighbors.
"There are a number of people whose opinion I value, and I've spoken with them," said Heffernan. "The first question is, 'Do you feel that I can do this job and do it adequately?' And I haven't had anybody tell me that they don't think that I should do it, that they don't think that I can get a handle on how it works and do a good job."
Heffernan is no stranger to civic leadership. He's served on the Bristol selectboard since 2001. Before joining the selectboard he sat on the town's equipment committee, and he's also headed up the Bristol Recreation Club as president. And, after 18 years as a volunteer firefighter with the Bristol fire department, he was elected the department's fire chief in January.
His term as selectman is up this year — but regardless of the outcome of the state race, he hopes to continue to play a role in local politics.
"No matter what happens I'll still be looking to represent the people of Bristol on the selectboard," said Heffernan.
His experience on the selectboard has been a positive one, he said.
"I didn't have an agenda when I got on, and I still don't," said Heffernan. "I got on to try to make a difference for Bristol."
That same philosophy applies to his candidacy for state office.
"Basically it's the same in this endeavor," said Heffernan. "I don't have an agenda."
His biggest interest in state-level politics is in the "infrastructure," he said — a fitting response for a self-proclaimed "dirt guy." (Heffernan is the president and co-owner, along with his brother Steven, of Heffernan Excavating Incorporated, a business he's helped head since 1986.)
"All the things that concerned me in Bristol I'm sure will concern me on a larger scale," he said. "I realize once you move up a notch, you no longer have just Bristol's roads and buildings and bridges. You have the whole state."
He's particularly concerned with road repairs and highway funding, which he feels needs more attention at the state level.
"I don't know why they choose to repair the roads that they choose to repair," he said. "I don't know how they go about it."
On hot-button topics like heating oil costs and state energy contracts, Heffernan admitted that he does not have strong feelings — though he is concerned about the challenges facing Vermonters as oil prices continue to rise.
"I'm very nervous about what some of the people on fixed incomes are going to do," he said. "I hate to think that there are older people out there who are going to have to choose between heat and food, and unfortunately that's what it's going to come down to.
'Something needs to be done," he continued, "but I'm not sure just what."
His response was similar when asked about his thoughts on the Vermont Yankee and HydroQuebec contracts, which the state will weigh in coming years.
"I guess I would have to be shown that there was a viable alternative before I said, 'No, we don't want to renew your contract,'" he said about Vermont Yankee, the controversial nuclear power plant in Vernon, Vt., which is slated to close in 2012 but is currently angling for a license extension of 20 years.
Heffernan said that, if elected, he would face a "steep learning curve" — but he was confident that his Bristol civic experience and his "people person" mentality would see him through any bumpy transition.
Still, he was levelheaded and calm about the election process, and said he was unsure as to whether or not he'd campaign extensively.
"I'm excited, but I'm not going to lose any sleep one way or another. I look forward to serving my community if they want me to, and if they don't, so be it," he said.
"I am who I am, I do what I do and if you like it, that's good," said Heffernan. "If you don't, I'm okay with that, too."

Seattle Seahawks blogger Clinton Bells tells us the December 1st 2011 game versus the Philadelphia Eagles was the game that included his touchdown of the year for the Seahawks. National television has been good to the Seahawks the past few years, and on this evening Marshawn Lynch made sure that they kept up their reputation of big games in front of the whole country.

It seems that with the abundance of the season at our farmers markets and fruit stands it has become extremely easy to eat locally and support our local farmers and producers. This also makes it simple to participate in Meatless Mondays once again.
A while back I found this version of one of my favourite Middle Eastern dishes in Cooking Light and it was inevitable that I would be making my own variation sooner or later. I used what I had on hand which included yellow heirloom tomatoes, zucchini instead of cucumber and topped it all off with a garlicky tzatziki sauce.
based on a recipe from Cooking Light
1 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs, divided
1 egg white
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
6 mini pitas (about 5 inches wide)
3 cups chopped salad greens
2 cups chopped tomatoes
2 cups sliced peeled cucumber or zucchini
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 cup tzatziki sauce
To prepare sauce, combine the first 5 ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.
To prepare patties, combine 1 cup onion and next 7 ingredients (through 4 garlic cloves) in a food processor, and process until smooth, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Place bean mixture in a large bowl; stir in 1/4 cup breadcrumbs and egg white. Divide bean mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge patties in breadcrumbs.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 patties to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Repeat procedure with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and patties.
Warm mini pitas. Place 1 pita on each of 6 plates. Top each serving with 1/2 cup salad greens, 1/3 cup tomato, 1/3 cup cucumber or zucchini, and 4 teaspoons onion. Drizzle each serving with about 3 tablespoons sauce; top each serving with 1 patty.
Serves 6

Valentine's Day Makeup: Soft Peach & Plum
Valentine's Day Makeup: Soft Peach & Plum
I thought I'd do a look using NARS Kuala Lumpur, a new eyeshadow duo for spring–review coming soon–which went okay. I had to use this duo wet in order to get the intensity I wanted. The cheeks and lips are still goin' strong with MAC Spring Colour Forecast, so never fear!
Oh, man, I really wanted to add more to the crease. I wanted some more depth, more darkness… just MORE! But I held myself back. I told myself, "Go softer, let's try it!"
You will need the following…
- Eyes: MAC Soft Ochre Paint Pot (neutral beige base), NARS Kuala Lumpur Eyeshadow Duo (soft melon/plum burgundy), NARS Mediteranee Eyeshadow Duo (soft gold), Urban Decay 1999 24/7 Liner (burgundy), MAC Plushlash Mascara (black)
- Face: Kiehl's Tinted Moisturizer (Medium)
- Cheeks: MAC Vintage Grape Blush Ombre (dirty plum)
- Lips: MAC Radicchio Lipstick (pinky plum), MAC Almondine Lipglass (frosty white-gold) (sheer gold)
- Brushes: 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 116 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: Try MAC Motif, MAC Cranberry, MAC Ricepaper
For eyes, start by applying Soft Ochre paint pot as your eyeshadow base all over the eye area with the 249. Using a dampened 239, apply Kuala Lumpur eyeshadow (the peach side) all over the lid. Next, apply Kuala Lumpur eyeshadow (the plum side) on the outer third of the eyelid and lightly blend into the outer crease. Lightly tap and brush Kuala Lumpur eyeshadow (the peach side) directly above the crease to soften. To finish the eyeshadow look, sweep Meditaranee eyeshadow (the golden side) as a highlighter on the brow bone. Bring everything together by applying 1999 eyeliner on the lower lash line and sweeping lashes with Plushlash mascara.
For cheeks, apply Vintage Grape blush ombre to the apples of the cheeks and sweep upwards towards the temple with the 116.
For lips, apply Radicchio lipstick first, and then layer Almondine lipglass for a complementing lip.

Cherry Danish
I won an award when I first made these delicious danish for a 4-H competition years ago. They're still a family favorite today.—Christie Cochran, Canyon, Texas
Total TimePrep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 15 min. + cooling
Makes40 servings
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
- 3/4 cup shortening, divided
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon each ground mace, lemon extract and vanilla extract
- 4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/3 cup chopped almonds
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add the milk, 1/4 cup shortening, sugar, 2 eggs, salt, mace, extracts and 2 cups of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch dough down. On a large floured surface, roll dough out to a 24x16-in. rectangle. Dot half of the dough with 1/4 cup of shortening; fold dough lengthwise. Fold the dough three times lengthwise, then two times widthwise, each time dotting with some of the remaining shortening. Place dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise 20 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll dough into a 16x15-in. rectangle. Cut into 8x3/4-in. strips, coil into a spiral shape, tucking end underneath the coil. Place in two greased 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Beat remaining egg. Make a depression in the center of each roll; brush with egg. Fill with 1 tablespoon of pie filling. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Combine the first three glaze ingredients; drizzle over rolls. Sprinkle with almonds.

My Review
Sep 28, 2014
@ elaineren you use the last 1/4 cup shortening during all the folding steps. I am not sure if you use part of it when folding it 3 times lengthwise OR when folding it 2 times width wise. The directions could use some work as they are not very specific.
Jun 13, 2011
Yes - But there seems to be a problem with the ingredients/directions. Recipe calls for 3/4 c shortening, 1/4 of which is incorporated into the dough, 1/4 is dotted on the dough when rolling -- where is there remaining 1/4 c included?

A change of heart
Our brand new feature wall at the studio. Aubergine! It just went so well with the green that we used for the windows. And I really like it!
The studio office is really starting to come together. This weekend Bianca and I tackled Ikea and came back with a carload of shelves and desks and drawers. Two bruised palms and one purple fingernail later (ahh how ironic) I'd put together the whole lot in an allen key frenzy.
Myself, Bianca and Tegan in our studio office. Plenty more to be done but it's definitely on it's way :)

It's really starting to take shape isn't it. I'm also not a big fan of purple but this wall looks great. I am soooo envious, and of course I can't wait for you to open your new business :o)

Hee. I just bought that IKEA bin on the weekend too.
I can't believe how quickly you've got all of this together! Love those floors. And the wall. (I'm the same with purple - but I think it's because my sister in law will wear nothing BUT purple. Right down to the eye shadow. Seriously.)
It's gonna be great!!

I think the whole purple thing was global (man), so many of us - okay maybe not global - didn't like it, but there was 'the turning', and then people started posting that they liked it after poo pooing the 'chocolate for the eyes' crew as hippies (not that there's anything wrong with that). I like it too, now. It's not purple, it's mulberry! Or something like that.
- 9:00 am
Crazy enough the EXACT same story for me. I hated purple my whole life - until last year. I tried on a plum colored shirt... and now I love it.
just no lilac. *shudder*

I hit a bump at about 35 MPH on Nieman en route to the Trek Store. eTrex flew off, I hit the brakes and got off the road to rescue it, just in time to see it get run over by 2 different cars. Needless to say, el eTrex es no mas.
I went to CVS for a light lunch today, and grabbed a pre-ride half sandwich before going to JCCC.
From JCCC to the Trek Store was a little over 9 miles, We rode a notch under 11 miles on the group ride, and my journey homeward was 13 miles on the nose once you count a detour to the grocery store.
All of today's riding totalled 39 miles.
Since I cratered the eTrex I bought a cheapo $20 Trek bike computer for the time being. The recovery ride was fun, I'd say close to 35 people showed up. My ride home was uneventful but slow (11.5 MPH average)

Your really piling on the miles now that the weather has improved.

AMR: Well, not lunch AT CVS. Lunch FROM CVS in the form of a few cans of soup. There are all these lofts and apartments out there, but no grocery stores. What the heck gives?
Anon: I live about 6 miles from Garmin World HQ. I actually took the manual that came with my eTrex and found out exactly where they were when they took the screen shots.
I'll see if that works. Was yours broken via "end-user malfunction" like mine was?

ahem.....Um....how do I say this politely. I saw the picture of all the bikers in the parking lot???? We need to talk about that coffee shop you go to. Do they sell donuts?
All seriousness aside. I went to the dentist today. The very expensive bridgework has to come out so the dentist can extract the tooth anchoring it because of decay.
This is getting kind of spooky. Our handle bar bag, expensive teef, IT jobs. Very spooky.

Mayor's Office
Lincoln's new arena in the West Haymarket area will be named Pinnacle Bank Arena. Mayor Chris Beutler, Pinnacle Bancorp Chairman Sid Dinsdale and Pinnacle Bank President Mark Hesser announced the naming rights agreement at a news conference this morning at the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. A scale model of the arena with the new name also was unveiled, and it will be on display at the Chamber office, 1135 "M" Street, through December.
With approval of the agreement by the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency (JPA), Pinnacle Bank will pay a base fee of $11.25 million to be the exclusive title sponsor of the arena for a term of 25 years. In addition to the base fee, Pinnacle Bank will pay $20,000 for each year the arena serves as a site for one or more state high school tournaments in volleyball, basketball or wrestling.
"Pinnacle is a top-notch Nebraska company, and we are excited that the Pinnacle name will now be associated with Lincoln's new top-of-the-line arena," said Mayor Beutler, who also serves as chair of the JPA. "Residents of Lincoln and Nebraska can take pride in this agreement, which demonstrates the commitment of all parties to excellence. This long-term partnership is a positive reflection of Pinnacle Bank, the new arena and the future of our community."
"Pinnacle Bank has been serving Nebraska and Lincoln for many years, and we are excited to support progress that will have a positive impact on our state and local economy," said Dinsdale. "We are proud to be part of the arena, which will help bring jobs and entertainment to Lincoln and the state for years to come."
The $179 million arena project was approved by voters in May 2010. Pinnacle Bank Arena is expected to open in the fall of 2013. UNL basketball will be the main tenant of the 470,400-square-foot facility, which can hold nearly 15,000 fans for Husker hoops.
As the exclusive sponsor of the arena and arena site, the new arena website will be named PinnacleBankArena.com. (The current website - HaymarketNow.com - also will be in effect until the end of construction.)
The agreement also calls for Pinnacle Bank to receive:
"Since the inception of the West Haymarket Joint Public Agency, we have worked very hard to promote the entire West Haymarket project as a public-private partnership," said JPA member and NU Regent Tim Clare. "We are excited about our new partner, Pinnacle Bank, joining our team and partnering with us, as Pinnacle Bank is an outstanding, statewide organization that has benefitted Lincoln and the entire state of Nebraska. We are looking forward to working with them in the years to come."
"This will be visible proof of Pinnacle Bank's commitment to Lincoln. However, their commitment to the community has roots much deeper than this particular event," said Wendy Birdsall, Chamber of Commerce President. "It should be noted that Pinnacle has been investing in our community for many years and has been a strong partner for growth and prosperity for decades. We are excited that this will help solidify that legacy as a major partner in Lincoln's future."
Pinnacle Bank's title sponsorship will be the largest partnership for the arena. Other naming rights opportunities inside the arena are available for areas such as the box office, premium level and club lounge. The agreement between the West Haymarket JPA and Pinnacle Bank was reached through a collaborative effort among the City of Lincoln, Pinnacle Bank and Legends Sales & Marketing. Ben Wrigley, Vice President of Project Development with Legends, brokered the deal.

Commissioners okay study for building to house courts
Adams County Attorney Mark Burry informed the county commissioners on Monday that he had received a proposal from Dave Sholl of Schenkel and Shultz Architecture, for a "study on a new structure to house the Superior and Circuit Courts along with the Clerk's Office."
The proposal breaks down the steps needed for said study, as well as the fee for the work — $3,400 plus reimbursements — which could probably be finished by the end of January.
The steps in the proposal are as follows:
• Meeting with stakeholders for input.
• Develop conceptual plans for a new building (north of the superior court building, in an area which is now a county-owned parking lot).
• Develop conceptual plans for probation and Community Corrections in existing courthouse.
• Consider parking options.
• Perform a cost estimate.
• Presentation to county boards.
• Update cost comparison of all options.
The commissioners accepted this proposal for perusal, but said they are still exploring options for the courthouse.
