November 2010 Revision
A. Name
The name of the organization shall be the Women's Studies Section (WSS) of the Association of College and Research Libraries, a division of the American Library Association, hereinafter referred to as the Section.
B. Purpose
This section shall represent librarians and others who specialize or are otherwise professionally concerned with the cross-disciplinary field of Women's Studies. It may cooperate with other professional groups in regard to those aspects of library and information services that require special knowledge of Women's Studies. The Women & Gender Studies Section has specific responsibilities a) To discuss, promote, and support Women's Studies collections and services in academic and research libraries b) To foster the development of bibliographic instruction, liaison with faculty, and database searching in this cross-disciplinary field c) To encourage cooperative collection development of and access to Women's Studies materials d) To foster cooperation among Women's Studies librarians, archivists, scholars, students, and publishers e) To work with other ALA groups to promote library and information services to women.
C. Membership
Any member of the Association of College and Research Libraries may elect membership in this Section. Members of the Section may participate as virtual members, but are expected to work with committee chairs to carry out any expected duties. The number of "community of practice" affiliations included in the basic ACRL dues is determined by the ACRL Board. The dues for additional affiliations are also set by the ACRL Board.
D. Relationship to ACRL Board
The Board shall be authorized to establish Communities of Practice (including Sections), to monitor their activities, and determine their continuance in consultation with the respective groups. The Board shall also be entitled to establish policies to govern the activities of Communities of Practice. (ACRL Bylaws, Article XV) The Board liaison role provides a critical connection between membership structures and the ACRL Board of Directors. This liaison role can be particularly helpful in providing perspective, guidance, and insight regarding ACRL policies, procedures, and initiatives; soliciting feedback from Communities of Practice regarding proposed Board actions; and providing helpful advice regarding Action Plan Proposals and Board Action Forms which community of practice leaders will need to submit for official ACRL Board and ACRL Executive Committee action/decisions. The liaison relationship is meant to enhance communication; it is not an advocacy role and for that reason Board members are asked to liaison with communities in which they have not been active. (Tip Sheet for Board Responsibilities) The Board of Directors is the voice for the association. Sections, committees, and other established units are not authorized to speak for the association except through the Board. This is to say that unit leaders should refrain from issuing statements, taking positions, or endorsing any statements or positions except with Board approval. (ACRL Guide to Policies and Procedures, Chapter 5.12.8, Use of ACRL's Name)
E. Meetings
Section meetings at the ALA Midwinter Meeting and ALA Annual Conference are scheduled by the Section chair. ACRL units are encouraged to work outside of Midwinter and/or Annual Conference to increase group participation, efficiency, and productivity. Electronic meetings are conducted within the environment of ALA/ACRL bylaws and policies. In all cases these requirements must be adhered to, although they may have to be adopted to fit the virtual environment. The ALA Policy Manual 7.4.1 defines a meeting as "an official assembly, for any length of time following a designated starting time, of the members of any board, committee task force, commission, etc., during which the members do not separate except for a recess and in which the assembly has the capacity to formalize decisions." Conference calls, Internet chat sessions (and their equivalents), and in-person meetings are recognized as meetings subject to the open meetings policy (ALA Policy 7.4.4). Committees must confirm all decisions made in these forums by affirming the actions at the next face-to-face meeting. There is a distinction between carrying on work of a committee electronically and conducting an electronic meeting. Asynchronous electronic discussions by electronic mail or other asynchronous communication methods do not constitute meetings because they are not an official assembly with a designated starting time (ALA Policy Manual 7.4.1). The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (Alice Sturgis) applies to meetings of the Section to the extent that it is applicable, upholds the integrity of the voting processes, helps facilitate progress, and ensures equality, fairness, and common sense. The Section shall hold an annual business meeting at the time and place of the Annual Conference of the American Library Association. Midwinter meetings of the Section may be conducted electronically. Members of the Section present at an annual meeting shall constitute a voting body.
F. Officers
Each Section will have a vice-chair/chair-elect and a chair to ensure succession. Elective officers of this Section shall be a chair, a vice-chair / chair-elect, the immediate past chair, a secretary, and two members-at-large who shall represent the membership. Duties are detailed in the Section's Orientation Guide All officers shall serve for a term of one year except members-at-large who shall serve two year staggered terms. All terms begin at the adjournment of the annual conference.
G. Executive Committee
The Section Executive Committee is responsible for the stewardship of the Section and the coordination of its activities, provided that it operates within the Section mandate and budget as determined by membership level (ACRL Guide to Policy and Procedure, Basic Services, 4.3.2). A Section's Executive Committee may establish and appoint standing or ad-hoc committees to assist it in fulfilling the Section's mandate. The Executive Committee shall consist of the officers, and the chairs of standing committees and projects. The Executive Committee shall conduct the business of the Section during the period between annual Section meetings. Regular meetings of the Executive Committee shall be held at the time of the Annual and Midwinter Conferences of the American Library Association, including virtual meetings. Special meetings may be called at the discretion of the chair. A majority of members shall constitute a voting body at any meeting of the Executive Committee.
H. Nominations and Elections
To be nominated, elected, and continue to serve on a Section's Executive Committee, a person must be a current member of the Section (with ALA, ACRL, and section dues—if applicable—paid). The vice-chair / chair-elect of the Section, with the approval of the chair, shall appoint a Nominating Committee of at least three personal members of the Section. This committee shall choose a slate of at least two candidates for each office of the Section. Additional nominations may be made by petitions signed by no fewer than five Section members. All nominees must be members in good standing of the Section and must consent to candidacy in writing. All nominations shall be filed with both the Executive Director of ACRL and the secretary of the Section within the deadlines prescribed by ACRL. Involvement in or commitment to the acquisition, organization, or use of Women's Studies information sources should be considered in selecting nominees for office. Elections shall be conducted by mail ballot in accordance with the procedures and deadlines established by the American Library Association. For each office, the candidate receiving a plurality of votes cast shall be elected, and the results reported to the Executive Director of ACRL. In case of a tie vote, the successful candidate shall be determined by lot.
I. Vacancies
In case of a vacancy in the office of the chair, the vice-chair / chair-elect shall succeed to the office of the chair and shall continue in that office until the expiration of the term for which s/he was originally elected to serve as chair. A vacancy in the office of vice-chair / chair-elect shall be filled by election. In case of a vacancy in the offices of the secretary or one of the members-at-large, a replacement will be appointed by the chair. In case of vacancies in both the offices of chair and vice-chair / chair-elect, the Executive Committee shall elect one from their membership to act as chair until the next election.
J. Amendments to Governance Procedures
These Operating Procedures may be amended by a majority vote of the Executive Committee as long they are not in conflict with ALA/ACRL bylaws, policies, and procedures. Changes to these governance procedures do not require, and should not include, a ballot vote by the membership. A current copy shall be provided to the Executive Director per ACRL Bylaws, Article XV, Section 3.
Governance Procedures updated to reflect section name change, May, 2011

Rainn Wilson will soon be solving mysteries on Fox. The network announced on Tuesday that it had given a 13-episode order to "Backstrom," a drama from "Bones" creator Hart Hanson.
The series, based on a pair of novels popular in Sweden, follows Det. Everett Backstrom, a grouchy, self-destructive investigator with Portland's Serious Crimes Unit. He attempts to solve cases while also trying to clean up his own behavior. We'll go out on a limb here and guess that he's probably only successful at one of those things.
FULL COVERAGE: Winter TV preview
The pilot for "Backstrom" was originally at CBS, but wasn't picked up for a series last summer. Now it's found a home at Fox, which is where Hanson's long-running detective series "Bones" is currently in its ninth season.
Dennis Haysbert, Kristoffer Polaha, Page Kennedy and Beatrice Rosen are also in the cast.
Production on the series will begin in early 2014, but no word on when it'll appear on Fox, where Wilson will be joining his old "Office" co-star Mindy Kaling, who currently stars in the comedy series "The Mindy Project."
Wilson is best known for playing "Office" uber-nerd Dwight Schrute in the long-running comedy series on NBC. It appears "Backstrom" will be a slightly darker turn for the actor.

Correction: Walker Texas Ranger-House story
DALLAS (AP) — In a story July 24 about a Dallas home for sale that appeared in episodes of "Walker, Texas Ranger," The Associated Press reported erroneously that actor Chuck Norris was an owner of the home. While he co-owned the home at one point with his brother, he was no longer an owner when the home was placed on the market.
A corrected version of the story is below:
'Walker, Texas Ranger' home hits market for $1.2M
Chuck Norris' former Dallas home, with space for roundhouse kicks, hits market for $1.2M
Associated Press
DALLAS (AP) — Need space to practice roundhouse kicks and fist-enforced Texas justice? You're in luck: The spacious Dallas home once owned by Chuck Norris, complete with a gym featuring memorabilia from his "Walker, Texas Ranger" television series, is on the market.
The Mediterranean ranch-style home in the tony Dallas neighborhood of Northwood Hills also was the on-screen residence of Cordell Walker, the roundhouse-kicking Texas Ranger who battled villainy at every turn.
Norris portrayed Walker in the CBS series that ran for eight seasons. It ended in 2001, but lives on in syndication. Portions of the series were shot in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The 7,362-square-foot home is listed for $1.2 million. Along with the weight room, it's listed as having four bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and a theater. There's also a separate building that served as a studio for the filming of "Walker, Texas Ranger," as well as other Norris productions, according to listing agent Rogers Healy.
Norris co-owned the property at one time with his brother, Aaron Norris, who now is the owner along with his wife.
Healy said a handful of "qualified buyers" have toured the home since it was listed.

Commonly here at the SQLTeam forums, users seeking assistance explain in long detail their situation and mention how they have millions of rows of data to deal with or dozens of tables and how complicated it all is. Invariably, those of us offering help will be confused by the requirements (they often aren't stated very clearly or completely) and we'll ask for a small sample of data to work with.

Freestate necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 325 diseños de 65 diseñadores freelance.
SalsaClub / SalsaClub.com
SalsaClub.com will be launched as a "social network" for people who love (to dance) salsa. SalsaClub aims to serve the global salsa community by uniting all "salsa lovers" into an encompassing international network of local salsa clubs.
In short SalsaClub.com wants to become the "Facebook" of Salsa.
All people who love to dance salsa, including beginning salsa dancers as well as professional "salseros".
- age group: 20-40
- bothe male/female
- worldwide, mainly western Europe, US and latin countries
Although we're chiefly looking for a logo to brand the future portalsite of http://www.salsaclub.com, we'll hope you'll come up with a good multipurpose design that could be used for creating other SalsaClub-logos as well, such as logos for:
- affiliated salsa portals, like: salsaclub.eu or salsaclub.nl
- Local SalsaClubs, like: SalsaClub Amsterdam; SalsaClub Barcelona, etc
- specials, like. "SalsaClub Travel", "SalsaClub Card"
Please note the following:-
- As we're not yet sure about whether or not to include ".com" into the basic logo, we are interested to receive submissions for both SalsaClub and salsaclub.com
- No specific requirements about the use of CAPs (salsaclub.com, SalsaClub; SALSACLUB)
- We have not yet decided on including a tagline. If we're going to include a tagline into the logo, it probably would be "Your Salsa Network".
- We like the simpleness of the facebook-logo, but don't have a real preference for text-only-logo's. We also appreciate logo's that include an icon as well.
- We haven't decided on the color of the background, but the logo must look great against a white background. And it would be nice if it can be used on photo's and videos too.
- The logo must work horizontally on top of the portal, but should also fit a square banner.
- a nice flavicon is appreciated
- vector-formats
- We intend to use the logo for a trademark, so please make sure the design is not infringing on any intellectual property rights.

DURHAM — Like a vehicle struggling uphill on a snow-covered road, the University of New Hampshire hockey team has had difficulty gaining traction since the Christmas break.
The Wildcats have been spinning their wheels for much of the second half of the season: lose one, win two, lose one, win one, lose two, win two, lose one.
They've gone 5-5 in their last 10 games.
Despite the inconsistency, UNH could have pulled into a first-place tie in Hockey East with a win over Merrimack on Saturday night, but ran into a hot goaltender.
The Wildcats peppered junior Sam Marotta with 52 shots but managed only one goal in a 4-1 loss to the Warriors at the Whittemore Center.
"It was a big missed opportunity for us," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "I thought the guys skated as hard as we've skated and managed the puck and moved the puck as well as we've moved it, especially against them. They're a team that doesn't give you many odd-man rushes and they keep shots to a minimum."
UNH attempted twice as many shots as Merrimack (82-41) with 52 reaching the 6-foot-4 Marotta, who finished with a career-high 51 saves.
Fourteen were blocked by the Warrior defense, another 15 were off target and a potential game-tying bid by Dalton Speelman hit the pipe at the eight-minute mark of the second period.
The play was reviewed to no avail and Merrimack scored less than a minute later to take a 2-0 lead.
"I've heard it said by a number of different people in hockey that the way it's going they're going to have to change the name of this game from hockey to goalie," said Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy. "It's hard to score goals. You've got five bodies out there trying to block shots and you've got a goalie who's big and fills a lot of the net."
The Wildcats will face a similar obstacle next weekend in Providence goalie Jon Gillies when the teams play a home-and-home series.
The 6-foot-5 freshman from South Portland, Maine, and the son of former UNH netminder Bruce Gillies, was sharp early when the clubs met at the Whitt on Jan. 19.
The Wildcats did beat him five times, but only after they fell behind by scores of 4-0 and 5-1 in an eventual 6-5 loss.
UNH outshot Merrimack on Saturday night, 52-24, including 40-16 over the last two periods.
"The guys played hard," Umile said. "We got plenty of opportunities. They got three (goals), we got one. We had plenty of chances, plenty of looks, plenty of opportunities to score. We didn't score. That's our problem, but we had our chances, that's for sure."
The Wildcats were on the other side of the equation Friday night in a 3-1 win at Northeastern.
The Huskies outshot UNH, 48-27, but could only get one past Casey DeSmith, who finished with a season-high 47 saves.
The Wildcats faced similar frustration Saturday night.
"We worked hard the whole game," Speelman said, "and I think we were in their end pretty much the whole third period. I think we could have taken away the goalie's eyes a little bit better."
And even when they did, Marotta still found a way to stop the puck. He finished the weekend with 76 saves on 77 shots in wins over UMass-Lowell and UNH that tightened up the league standings.
"This would have been a nice one for us to get a win from, definitely," said senior forward Austin Block, who tied teammate Trevor van Riemsdyk with a game-high seven shots on goal Saturday night. "Crazy conference. It will make it more interesting now. We've just got to lace them up and find a way to win some games."
"We've got to put it behind us," Speelman added.
After splitting a pair of games over the weekend, the Wildcats are in second place, two points behind Boston College with a game in hand.
UNH is one point ahead of Merrimack, two up on Boston University and three ahead of Providence.
Five points separate first place from fifth. The Wildcats have nine games remaining in the regular season.
The loss to Merrimack on home ice hurt.
"It was a big game," Umile said. "It was a missed opportunity by us. It just makes everything that much closer now."

Arkansas cotton acreage appears to be poised for another decrease in 2009, as cotton falls out of favor with farmers because of low prices and increased input costs relative to other crops, especially soybeans.
Cotton has been on a downward slide since 2006 when it was grown on 1.17 million acres. In 2007, it fell to 860,000 acres. It tumbled again to 620,000 acres in 2008.
In the early part of the 20th century, cotton was king in Arkansas, according to the Arkansas Agricultural Statistics Service. The largest cotton acreage recorded last century was 3.577 million acres in 1930. In that year, even farmers in the mountains of western Arkansas planted cotton. Cotton acreage hovered around 1 million for much of the time in the latter part of the century.
Tom Barber, Extension cotton specialist with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture, said because of price concerns, 2009 acreage will be up in the air through February or March.
"Soybeans have been in the $9 a-bushel-range compared to last year when prices got up to as much as $15 a bushel," he said. "If soybean prices continue to go down, we could see cotton acreage remain about the same as last year. If soybeans go up, cotton acreage could fall by about 30 percent to 400,000 acres."
Barber said cotton prices also play a part, adding that a surge in cotton to 80 cents a pound in February or March could spur an increase in cotton acreage. His gut feeling is that cotton prices will increase.
Another factor playing into the acreage picture are the risks of growing each crop and the economy. "With soybeans, the production risk is a lot less, and they're easier to grow. You're not risking $800 an acre like you are by growing cotton."
Meanwhile, carryover stocks of cotton from last year are 7.1 million bales. Consumers aren't buying as many cotton products because of the struggling economy. The most recent consumption estimates from the USDA were lowered by 2.75 million bales, mostly from decreased consumption in China.
"Cotton farmers in north Arkansas picked a much better crop than farmers in south Arkansas, mainly because extended rainy periods caused by hurricanes led to tremendous hard-lock and boll rot problems," Barber said. "This resulted in at least a 30 percent yield reduction. Although average cotton yields for Arkansas are currently reported at 1,022 pounds of lint per acre, most farmers reported decreased average yield in 2008."
Meanwhile, Barber said farmers will have to do their homework in variety selection for 2009. Increased emphasis must be placed on new varieties containing Flex or BollGard II plus Flex because current varieties containing BollGard will be phased out by 2010. Monsanto, the maker, is not re-registering BollGard, in 2010. This will limit farmers on the varieties they can plant and, in turn, farmers will need to try new varieties on small or limited acreage to prepare for the change to BollGard II in 2010.
About 50 percent of Arkansas cotton acreage is planted in the older BollGard variety. Barber said many farmers in northeast Arkansas have already switched over to the newer varieties.

Surviving The Dust Bowl: American Experience
|Episode Description
|Thursday, Nov 8, 2012 - 1:00 AM
They were called "black blizzards," dark clouds reaching miles into the sky, churning millions of tons of dirt into torrents of destruction. For 10 years, beginning in 1930, dust storms ravaged the parched and overplowed southern plains, turning wheat fields into desert. Disease, hardship and death followed, yet the majority of people stayed on, refusing to give up on the land and a way of life. Liev Schreiber narrates. G

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Museullaneous, Date: 15 Oct 2011
Attended this conference held in Tampere, Finland, on 11-12 October. Here's some links I promised to post.
Spent the week in beautiful (but cold!) Finland at the Open and Learning Museum Conference. The conference was a gathering of some of the partners in the Learning Museum Network Project (or LEM for short), funded by the European Union. LEM "... is a network project funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme Grundtvig (2010-2013) which aims to establish a permanent network and webspace for museums and adult educators to participate in a learning society and in a knowledge based Europe."
I gave the keynote address - Learning in the 21st Century Museum, as well as attending some of the roundtables on the first day.
Here's links to online resources I promised to share (and some I have come across since):
Other references can be found in my paper.
Thanks for inviting me - was very inspiring!

Bargain of the Week: Digitech Whammy, only £135!
The Digitech Whammy is the legendary pedal used by guitar heroes such as Jonny Greenwood, Jack White, The Edge, Matt Bellamy and many others. Now available for £135 - save over £60!
But what is the Whammy?
The DigiTech Whammy is a pitch-shifter effects pedal which gives musicians the ability to shift the pitch of their electric guitar up or down in real time by rocking a treadle pedal up and down with their foot, similar to how a wah pedal affects the tone of a guitar based on the position of the treadle.
It is controlled by a rocker and a single rotary knob, from which 16 presets could be selected; five "Whammy" effects, nine "Harmony" effects, and two "Detune" effects.

Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) is a serious noxious weed pest of California agriculture. It is also referred to as field or wild morning glory, creeping jenny and greenvine.
It is a perennial plant with deep roots extending down to three feet which can grow for months without irrigation. It reproduces by seed or rhizomes. Heavy infestations in wheat can reduce yields by 30 percent to 40 percent.
It is equally a problem in tomatoes, beans and alfalfa. In almost all row crops there are practically no herbicides that are effective to control it post-emergence.
Bindweed is also a problem in young orchard plantings that are in full sunlight where it grows vigorously. Field bindweed can harbor potato virus X and tomato spotted wilt virus.
Recommended control measures include summer fallow with cultivations or herbicide applications, and crop rotations that use selective post-emergence herbicides (2,4D in wheat, corn and Roundup Ready varieties). The use of glyphosate herbicide in the spring prior to planting, or fall following harvest and before the first frost occurs offers a temporary reprieve.
Ineffective bindweed control using glyphosate has led to speculation that issues related to water hardness, pH, or the many different glyphosate brands and formulations on the market may be part of the problem.
Poor water quality such as high pH and water hardness (calcium carbonate content) are known to bind the glyphosate molecule and reduce control. Throughout San Joaquin County, water quality varies, especially in the southern and eastern county areas, where total water hardness can be very high, exceeding 500 ppm from calcium carbonate.
In an effort to better understand glyphosate performance and water quality, we conducted a bindweed study this spring, south of Tracy, using different brands and rates of glyphosate, two surfactants, and two amounts of ammonium sulfate which are recommended by label. Limited in the space we had available, we selected only two brands of glyphosate commonly used, Roundup WeatherMAX 5.5SC and Buccaneer 4SC applied at different rates.
The water source was an agricultural well that typically has very hard water exceeding 450 ppm of calcium carbonate. Cations (Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn) react with glyphosate to form an insoluble salt which does not kill weeds. Studies have shown a 50 percent reduction in weed control with glyphosate using water hardness at 500 ppm.
Ideally, the spray solution pH when using glyphosate should be in the 4.0 - 5.0 range and water hardness as close to 0 as possible or at least below 100 ppm. Water hardness and pH testing was conducted in our lab to measure changes that occur when adding herbicide, surfactant or ammonium sulfate in the water.
The herbicide treatments were applied on June 14 to a thick roadside population of bindweed at varying growth stages ranging from 30 percent without flowers, 50 percent flowering and 20 percent setting seed. Plants were healthy and growing vigorously.
Both brands of glyphosate were effective in lowering the pH and water hardness of the spray solution to the recommended range when the rate of 2.0 lbs/A or higher was used. The addition of acidifiers, surfactants, and ammonium sulfate did help reduce the pH and hardness but not as much as did the herbicide. The acidifier lowered the pH more than it lowered water hardness.
The ammonium sulfate however, lowered the water hardness more than lowering the pH.
Bindweed control averaged more than 90 percent for all treatments after six weeks. There were differences on how fast the burn-down occurred depending on the rate, but no differences from the surfactants and ammonium sulfate.
The 4.0 lb rate has continued to be the best treatment to date and reached 90 percent control within two weeks which was twice as fast as the 2.0 lb rate.
The take-home message is to know your water quality by testing after adding herbicides/surfactants to see if there is any improvement made.
This will help you make the correct decision for your agricultural sprays in the future.
Water quality also affects the efficacy of many insecticides. Water quality test kits are inexpensive for pH and hardness. The kits can be purchased at most stores carrying spa and swimming pool supplies or online. Since this bindweed test is under a non-irrigated condition, plants are not regrowing as they would in an irrigated field but we will continue to observe these plots and monitor long-term results.
Unfortunately, we have not discovered any new silver bullets to easily control field bindweed problems. In the long term, eradication will still require continuous treatments of herbicides or cultivations as plants regrow until the carbohydrate reserves in roots are depleted and unable to propagate any new shoots or roots.

|Players: 1-2
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p

Marvel vs. Capcom 1 is a team fighter that uses a separate assist cast with limited charges. Most of the time you will be looking to build up to a maximized three stocks of meter so that you can execute your team up attack, which brings both characters on screen at the same time and gives both of them infinite super meter for a limited amount of time. You can fill the screen with so many rockets, bombs, animals, and lasers that there's absolutely nothing your opponent can do.
Marvel Super Heroes is less crazy but even easier to abuse. The characters in this game have incredibly broken synergy with the gems that randomly fall onto the screen as you fight. Speed gems can allow you to do infinites simply by mashing buttons. Power gems can allow you to kill a character in one hit. Still other gems allow you to attack without flinching. It's absurd.
In my humble opinion, Marvel vs. Capcom Origins is the best retro fighting game remake that has been released yet. It's just a shame that all of these awesome options are lumped onto games that, as I have said time and time again, are completely and utterly broken. However, if you can take a step back and not take your losses too seriously, MvCO is an amazingly fun time with smooth netcode and awesome extras.

I tried the 2010 vintage of Jacob's Creek Cab Merlot back in the fall at a party, but had forgotten about it until I found the photo on my phone. I decided to pick some up again as I remember liking it. And I was spot on. It is a delicious red blend.
I've written about Jacob's Creek before – this post last spring about the Southeastern Australia winemaker's Reserve wines.
The Cab Merlot is a Jacob's Creek Classic wine (as opposed to Reserve). The Classic wines are touted as great everyday wines. And this full-bodied wine is very approachable.
The 2010 blend consists of 53% Cabernet and 47% Merlot. Lots of dark berry fruit flavors and smooth. There is a hint of mint with spice characteristics and a delicate toasted oak.
I am beginning to gravitate toward a lot of red blends these days. Any I should try? I am open to suggestions.

Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt: Conceptual Color in Print
Donald Judd was a major figure in the Minimalist art movement in the 1960s when he and others sought to create a depersonalized art in which the physical properties of space, scale, and materials were explored as phenomena of interest on their own. Judd's use of color in three print series dating from 1988 to 1993 are on view along with a recent acquisition, Untitled (1993). Judd's prints are compared and contrasted with prints by his peer, Sol LeWitt.

A Frosty Walk
Brrrr! Look at all that frost!
We walked along a creek where attempts are being made to bring back salmon and steelhead.
Frost covered railing.
Frozen rose hips, so cold, but so beautiful.
We weren't really expecting to see any wildlife in the cold, so we were very excited to spot this great blue heron in a pond about 15 feet away from the path.
School is back in session tomorrow. I think we will all benefit from getting back into "the routine". It was a wonderful holiday break. I really enjoyed the pace of our Christmas, not so many presents, with an emphasis on handmade. I'm also ready to start on projects that got put on the back burner while I was in production mode. I've almost forgotten where that back burner is!

Critics who blasted Microsoft three months ago for failing to deliver Windows Vista add-ons have again called the company on the carpet, this time for missing its self-imposed deadline to provide promised extras. In late June, bloggers and users were already panning Vista Ultimate Extras as a bust. Extras, available only to customers running the top-end Vista edition, was one of the features cited by Microsoft to distinguish the USD 399 operating system from its USD 239 cousin, Home Premium. Microsoft's online marketing, for instance, touted Extras as 'cutting-edge programs, innovative services, and unique publications' that would be regularly offered to Ultimate users.

Heat, Humidity Impact Milk Production
ST. PAUL (AP) - The heat and humidity can be hard on anyone who works or spends a great amount of time outdoors, but it can also be tough on milk-producing cows.
Dr. Marcia Endres, from the University of Minnesota-Extension, says the higher temperatures can reduce a cow's milk production by 10 to 15 percent - or up to two gallons a day.
Endres says it takes a few days for a milk-producing cow to show symptoms of heat stress, but the effects can last much longer.
The University of Minnesota is researching ways to warn dairy farmers that a cow is beginning to experience heat stress. One experiment implants a thermometer in a cow's stomach to send an email or text alert to the farmer before heat stress has a chance to escalate.

From cooking show contestants to fraudulent cancer doctors, horrible people make awfully good TV.
I nearly didn't watch Cancerman: The Milan Brych Affair, which aired last Sunday, after reading some less than enthusiastic previews, but I'm glad I did.
When I grew up there were two larger-than-life villains who jumped out of the TV and gave me the willies: One was Robert Muldoon, and the other was Milan Brych.
Brych was a Czech quack, a shyster who pretended to be a cancer doctor with a cure. He also looked and sounded like a bad guy from a Thunderbirds episode, which is probably why even as a kid I knew he was evil and that I hated him. I was probably too young to know that taking the piss out of terminal patients was about as bad as it gets.
In Cancerman, which is part dramatisation, part doco, Brych is played by Paolo Rotondo, who does a fine job, but he's is on a hiding to nothing, because the real footage of Brych is just so mesmerising.
Although I could hate-watch Brych archive footage for hours, this is really the story of John Scott, the taciturn Kiwi doctor who spotted Brych for what he was and spent his life trying to prove it. John Scott is a true Kiwi hero, a Hillary of medical ethics. Dogged doesn't even begin to describe him. In Cancerman he's played by a man who looks very much like him, but once again it's the real thing that really delivers.
Apart from Scott, the most enjoyable of the talking heads is veteran journalist and talk back pioneer Gordon Dryden, who followed Brych to the Cook Islands. His part of the story also contained one of the saddest images: The graveyard on Rarotonga known as the 'Brychyard', now partially reclaimed by the ocean.
Cancerman is not perfect by any means - there's some cheesy narration and there are some painfully lifeless re-enactments, as is par for the course in this genre. Mind you, there have been notable exceptions in that department: Strongman The Tragedy and The Golden Hour took dramatic re-enactments to another, more filmic level. This isn't Cancerman's strong point, but it does have a superb story to tell, but mostly it has a brilliant villain, a callous, cold-war conman worthy of a John Le Carre novel. (You can watch Cancerman: The Milan Brych Affair here.)
It would be unfair to compare Thomas from My Kitchen Rules (TV2, 7.30pm, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday) to Mr Brych - which is exactly the sort of terrible slur that Thomas would probably stoop to if he was writing a TV blog. Thomas and Carla, "just friends", are contestants on the Australian cooking competition that's proving to be hit in New Zealand - in part because this season features a couple from our shores.
The Kiwi pair are nice enough, but Thomas is delightfully awful. I love hating every word that oozes out of his mean little mouth. The producers must have high-fived each-other when he turned up, and they've done a great job fashioning his mean-spirited aura into one of the highlights of the show.
Today I'm heading offshore to find some more likely candidates to boil my blood. In the United States, The Republican National Convention is underway in Tampa, Florida, which means that there's never been a better time to watch that never-ending smorgasbord of bad auras, Fox News.
Some new shows that don't suck:
Deane Waretini - Now Is The Hour (Friday, Maori, 10pm): This New Zealand comedy promises to be a beauty, featuring the legendary Maori one-hit wonder himself, a former Russian nuclear physicist and Orlando, the manager from Wayne Anderson -Singer of Songs. Deane is on a comeback tour and like Singer of Songs it's sometimes hard to tell what's fact and what's fiction.
Boss' second season starts on Saturday (8.30pm, Soho). Kelsey Grammer is the brilliantly bastard mayor of Chicago. Season one was highly addictive and took gratuitous sex to a new level.
Also starting next week is The Killing (9.30 Wednesday, TV3). Not as good as the Danish original, Forbrydelsen, which is currently showing on Soho, but it's still miles better than all the other police procedurals on free-to-air TV.
It's already started but it's ace: American Horror Story (9.30 Monday, Four) provides twisted, campy, haunted-house, fun-times. Especially delightful is the old bird from Six Feet Under who's also a hot young nympho.
Stella (7.30 pm, Wednesday UKTV) is written and starring Welsh comic genius Ruth Jones, who also starred in and co-wrote Gavin and Stacey.

WXTR addresses a key space wherein enterprises are looking to modernize their existing COBOL workloads. WXTR tightly integrates Java EE applications and COBOL applications thus allowing users to re-use existing COBOL business logic while extending them with new and modern Java EE applications. Due to it's association with WAS, WXTR provides a forward looking and a modern environment for existing COBOL applications.
For a quick look, some of the key WXTR features are,
- Provides a tightly integrated environment to host Java EE and COBOL applications
- Allows easier interoperability between Java and COBOL applications
- Supports standard connectivity using JCA/SCA based interfaces
- Allows sharing of all kinds of data from Java to COBOL
- Common failure handling – COBOL errors propagated as Java exceptions.
- Unified administration
- Java EE and COBOL assets can be managed through a single window of administration – WebSphere Application Server administration console.
- Modern integrated application development
- RAD and RDp combine to give a unified application development environment wherein users can jointly develop and debug Java and COBOL applications.
WXTR in conjunction with WebSphere Application Server and Rational tools is a solution that best fits organizations that are looking to write new code in Java EE while retaining their existing core business logic in COBOL. WXTR brings in the best of interoperability and integration. Unified administration provides a single environment to manage both COBOL and Java resources. RAD (Rational Application Developer) and RDp (Rational Developer for Power Systems) integration provides a more complete development environment together for Java EE and COBOL programs. WXTR supports CICS style programming. Users can use many of the built in features in RDp for application development e.g. command assist, syntax checking, templates etc. Seamless debugging across Java and COBOL is a reality with the use of RAD and RDp.
In summary, WebSphere eXtended Transaction Runtime brings in further simplicity , ease of use , modern facilities and much more.Thus reducing the overheads in managing COBOL and Java workloads.

Romantic and Modern Bedroom With a Classic Twist
We love how this bedroom feels "grown-up" without seeming stuffy or overdone. All of the elements came together to make for a stunning bedroom. Basically, we've kinda fallen for the space--let's break it down after the jump!
The powder blue walls seem to ooze texture--whether they're matte or eggshell, we're in love. Even the beds silhouette against the blue wall combined with the dainty bedside table is quite elegant. Modern elements are mixed throughout the space such as the creme pendant lamp and white storage unit. The textured bedspread pairs nicely with the shimmery floral wallpaper--making the room feel romantic but not overdone. We also love the extra touch of the IKEA frames with the glass taken out. Instead of framed pictures, wooden angel ornaments get a second life displayed inside. And last (but definitely not least) are the vintage wood chair and towel stand making for a cozy nook in front of the patio.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution announced today that it will not exercise its contract options on midfielder Marko Perovic and forward Ilija Stolica ahead of Major League Soccer's July 1 contract guarantee date.
Perovic, 27, appeared in 29 matches for the Revolution, starting 28, after signing with the club on March 26, 2010. He scored seven goals and added four assists, including one goal and one assist in four appearances earlier this year. He underwent season-ending surgery on his left knee on June 2, and at the time was expected to miss six to nine months while rehabilitating the injury. He was voted the 2010 Revolution MVP by the club's fans.
Stolica, 31, made 16 appearances after signing with the club on July 30, 2010. He made 13 starts, scored four goals and added two assists, including the game-tying goal at Vancouver on April 6, 2011. Stolica was loaned to USL-PRO squad FC New York on April 29 after making two substitute appearances with the Revs early in the season.

note to selfThursday, January 28, 2010
Dear Self,
It is no secret that you love to knit sweaters. In fact, it is your most favorite thing to knit. You love to knit a front, a back, and two sleeves, sew the sweater together and wear the sweater. However, in the future, I would like for you to pay special attention to the FINISHING section of your pattern before starting a project. You like patterns that give a few directions, like: block, sew seams, weave in ends. You actually don't mind if it says to sew on a few buttons. So, please pay close attention to the "size" of the FINISHING directions. If the directions to FINISHING take up an entire page (almost) then chances are you will probably loose some sort of steam and it will seem like a "chore" to finish that project. Even if you remember trying on the sweater and LOVING it and spending the next few weeks thinking of nothing but that sweater. And even if the yarn you are using is some of the most delicious yarn you have used.
52 comments
I'm glad to know I am not the only one who loses steam when the end is in site...I am the worst at finishing, especially blocking. And I just don't know why because I always do get that giddy happy feeling when it is all said and done. Good luck. Can't wait to see the finished sweater. The yarn is simply beautiful.ReplyDelete
You can do it! I am cheering you on and can't wait to see this gorgeous sweater!!ReplyDelete
Oof! I know what you mean, sister. I have a cabled yoke cardigan that needs the cabled yoke attached to the body. Waiting...waiting...waiting..ReplyDelete
Oh no....I hate when finishing gets the better of an otherwise great project! Good luck.ReplyDelete
Oh, Leslie, I'm in the same part of my FMC and I'm thinking "what were you thinking of wanting to make this...all that seaming and mattress stitch!?" I just cast on for the same part you are working on and have found I've been procrastinating like crazy with this sweater. I keep telling myself how much I will wear it once it is done. Let's cheer each other on through the home stretch!ReplyDelete
Too funny.ReplyDelete
That's why I have only done top down sweaters.
You are a better woman.
Next time you find yourself with this problem pack up your sweater and send it to me. I like sewing sweaters together and I am amazed at the amount of business I get. Everytime I think I might be running out of jobs a few more come along. You do such nice knitting I'm sure your projects would be easy to put together!(This sounds like an ad but I would be happy to help you)ReplyDelete
I am very glad to know I'm not the only one who has these issues! I have decided that I should submit my pattern choices (and the accompanying yarn) to my knitting "committee" - in triplicate - and ask for written permission before I start things. I just finished the featherweight cardigan - in lace weight yarn no less. I thought I was going to lose my mind!ReplyDelete

Ha!!! I think that's why I don't knit many sweaters.ReplyDelete
i thought of you the whole time i slaved over the seaming of my sweater yesterday and today. i dreaded it. really. and i kept thinking of you and all your sweaters and how you say it's all so easy.ReplyDelete
i'm glad you didn't write this post two days ago.
Good thing you warned me...this was on my maybe I want to knit this list (especially after I saw that you are knitting it). I don't mind finishing, but if its going to be more difficult than regular finishing, I'm with you! Can't wait to see it, though. It is a really cute sweater.ReplyDelete
Umm, yeah. Any chance you could get your mom to do it?ReplyDelete
you'll do it! an everyone is waiting to see it...pressure :)ReplyDelete
but i'm horrible about directions. i really have to force myself to focus sometimes.
I thought about my note last night and what I should have said is think of it as a puzzel that you are putting together. It's a good challenge and you'll be proud when you are wearing the sweater. I bet it's put together already !ReplyDelete
i think that finishing is a whole art in itself! i am waiting on a book of finishing techniques to come in the mail & can't wait!ReplyDelete
btw, i'm just starting out making my first sweaters & wondered (since you make so many sweaters) what is your favorite length of circ, whether the piece is made in the round or not?
That's going to be one beautiful sweater - don't give up! I know what you mean though - I usually won't make a pattern if the finishing looks like it'll take forever.ReplyDelete
So how many days worth of finishing for this project?ReplyDelete
leslie, if anyone can finish that sweater i know in my heart it is you!!! you made all those hanne knits on teeny tiny needles, you can do this! good luck girl!ReplyDelete
Sometimes that girl named Self just needs a good talkin' to!! She lives in my house, too and she gets a lecture about once a week! I love that sweater - I have the magazine but it just looks too difficult for my level of expertise. I can't wait to see it finished and being modeled by you!ReplyDelete
the finishing is always so hard for me... and by "finsihing" I mean getting the knitting completed! having a really hard time right now.ReplyDelete

Kevin "K.O." Olusola, Antoniette Costa and Tara Kamangar
Photo: Drew Altizer
Antoniette Costa, Tara Kamangar And Kevin "K.O." Olusola Visit The Recording Academy
Singer/songwriter Antoniette Costa, pianist/violinist/composer Tara Kamangar and cellist/beatboxer Kevin "K.O." Olusola recently visited The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., to participate in an exclusive GRAMMY.com interview and perform a brief acoustic set. The trio discussed their collaboration, music education, their biggest individual career moments, and the possibility of recording an album together, among other topics, and performed songs such as Costa's "Void Of A Legend" and "Stranded."
"From the first time I met [Kevin] I felt a friendship there from the start and a musical chemistry," said Costa. "We wanted to do more songs and I met Tara … and we worked on one of my songs, 'Stranded,' and that was how we came together."
"Having different talents and different ideas about how music should be done [creates] a really interesting collaboration that I think people will enjoy," added Olusola.
Costa, who began writing songs in middle school, was inspired to pursue a songwriting career by a series of poems she found written by her Aunt Lilly, who passed away in 2004. The following year Costa independently released her debut album, Breakthru, which featured 12 songs and was dedicated to her aunt. The album caught the interest of rapper Dice Raw and the Roots' manager Richard Nichols. Nichols subsequently produced Costa's single, "Ready To Make It Work," which featured GRAMMY winners James Poyser, Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson and Steve Jordan, and Kindred The Family Soul.
In 2011 Costa teamed with cellist/beatboxer Olusola to record an acoustic rendition of her song "Void Of A Legend." Inspired to combine cello with beatboxing while studying in China, Olusola also plays saxophone and was part of the winning a cappella group, Pentatonix, on "The Sing-Off" in 2011. Olusola has garnered more than 3.7 million views on YouTube with his covers of songs by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Dr. Dre, and Justin Bieber, among others.
On "Stranded," Costa teamed with Olusola and Persian-born pianist/violinist Kamangar. Born to a musical family, Kamangar has been playing piano and violin since age 3. She attended London's Royal Academy of Music where she completed postgraduate studies in piano performance. Her debut solo classical album, East Of Melancholy: Piano Music From Russia To Iran, is forthcoming.
With musical backgrounds that span R&B, pop, hip-hop, and classical, the trio has created a unique sound of their own and have future plans to record an album together.
"Trying to figure out how to bring these three completely different ideas together into something that people will enjoy is difficult, but it's going to be something that people will eventually catch on to," said Olusola.

Flights of Fancy: 15 Lively Kids' Rooms
Decorating a kid's room opens up all sorts of possibilities — it's an excuse to try a bold color, a brave texture, or a whimsical accessory all in the name of childhood! Get inspired with these fifteen cheerful children's rooms, all with different daring elements of fun.
