Magnolia's Old, New & Handmade Room
My Room
Name: Magnolia (11 months)
Location: Nashville, TN
Magnolia's room is a combination of new, old, handmade, and hand-me-downed. Magnolia's room is spacious and bright with a peaceful feel and, most of the time, you can find us hanging out in there!
The gray walls are soothing, so we chose not to change them. I found napkins at West Elm with gray, bright yellow, and a corally-red color that I loved, so I made the crib skirt out of them and used gray, yellow, and "red" as an overall color palette. Against EVERY bit of advice we received, we decided not to get a rocker or glider. We love her gray chair and have certainly used it well!
My husband designed and built the daybed, with large drawer storage underneath, as a place for us to lay with her for feeding, long nights, and reading stories. Now, she loves to stand and look out the window (with supervision, of course).
My friend painted the lovely illustrations and the name banner that was part of my baby shower. The best part of the room, though, is the black and white collage my husband made from a picture of Magnolia's great grandfather and great-great grandmother in 1923 on the very street we live on now! Our home wasn't built until 1925, but you can see our neighbor's homes in the background.
Thanks Mary!

Wow! I love everything about this room from the awesome bed your husband built to the mirror behind the crib at a great angle to the old photograph blown up. Very great!
Love this room! You should try and recreate that photo if you can. :)
love the cribskirt! very creative.
Hi! Where did you get the metal buckets on the changing table? Those are fantastic for organization -- have been trying to think of what to use and these seem perfect and accessible!
Thanks everyone! Here's a (short) rundown of the items:
Crib and changing table: hand me down
shelving, mirror boxes, rug, chair, crib skirt, and bolster pillows on daybed: west elm
the tubs on changing table are beverage tubs from Target....which are there this year, too! just saw them the other day for 14.99. We are going to repurpose them for her birthday party in a couple of weeks) they are metal, but not sharp!
daybed bedding: target
This room is filled with memories, from the name banner to the old blown up photograph is just precious. It really gives the space a nostalgic feel to it.
The doors beneath her name banner are gorgeous! We have similar ones in our basement (we think the previous owner collected doors as a hobby, there are TONS unhinged down there) but are without a proper-sized doorway to hang them in :( So, lucky you!
This is one of the nicest and most practical baby rooms I've seen on AT -- love it! Well done!
This room is cheerful and calming! So very nice!!! Love the illustrations above the bed!
Love the whole room, but especially love the three art pieces that look like windows in the photo of the daybed! Where did you get these?
COURTCPA, will you email me privately about the illustrations? email@example.com...yes I love them too!
Love the room - thanks for sharing! What paint color did you use?
Really like this room, and the daybed is fabulous!
I love the name banner! Your friend should sell those on Etsy, I'd totally buy!
And I love the story behind the picture, so sweet that you live on the same street.
That is a fabulous room.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Republican controlled Joint Committee on Finance is dropping a dozen of Governor Scott Walker's non-fiscal policy items that were included in his proposed state budget.
The policy items are among nearly 60 non-fiscal items that were identified by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau that shouldn't be in a fiscal budget.
Democrats were unsuccessful in getting other non-fiscal items to be taken out so they could be voted on in separate legislation.
Among the proposals left in; a plan to create a school voucher program for special needs students and ending residency requirements for local government workers.
One of the items taken out by the Republican-majority panel would have changed a state law which prohibits foreign ownership of farms bigger than 640 acres.

The 2013 MacBook Air Review (13-inch)by Anand Lal Shimpi on June 24, 2013 12:01 AM EST
Real World 802.11ac Performance Under OS X
A good friend of mine recently bought an older house and had been contemplating running a bunch of Cat6 through the crawlspace in order to get good, high-speed connectivity through his home. Pretty stoked about what I found with 802.11ac performance on the MacBook Air, I thought I came across a much easier solution to his problem. I shared my iPerf data with him, but he responded with a totally valid request: was I seeing those transfer rates in real world file copies?
I have an iMac running Mountain Lion connected over Gigabit Ethernet to my network. I mounted an AFP share on the MacBook Air connected over 802.11ac and copied a movie over.
21.2MB/s or 169.6Mbps is the fastest I saw.
Hmm. I connected the iMac to the same ASUS RT-AC66U router as the MacBook Air. Still 21.2MB/s.
I disabled all other wireless in my office. Still, no difference. I switched ethernet cables, I tried different Macs, I tried copying from a PC, I even tried copying smaller files - none of these changes did anything. At most, I only saw 21.2MB/s over 802.11ac.
I double checked my iPerf data. 533Mbps. Something weird was going on.
I plugged in Apple's Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and saw 906Mbps, clearly the source and the MacBook Air were both capable of high speed transfers.
What I tried next gave me some insight into what was going on. I setup web and FTP servers on the MacBook Air and transferred files that way. I didn't get 533Mbps, but I broke 300Mbps. For some reason, copying over AFP or SMB shares was limited to much lower performance. This was a protocol issue.
Digging Deeper, Finding the Culprit
A major component of TCP networking, and what guarantees reliable data transmission, is the fact that all transfers are acknowledged and retransmitted if necessary. How frequently transfers are acknowledged has big implications on performance. Acknowledge (ACK) too frequently and you'll get terrible throughput as the sender has to stop all work and wait for however long an ACK takes to travel across the network. Acknowledge too rarely on the other hand and you run the risk of doing a lot of wasted work in sub optimal network conditions. The TCP window size is a variable that's used to define this balance.
TCP window size defines the max amount of data that can be in flight before an acknowledgement has to be sent/received. Modern TCP implementations support dynamic scaling of the TCP window in order to optimize for higher bandwidth interfaces.
If you know the round trip latency of a network, TCP window size as well as the maximum bandwidth that can be delivered over the connection you can actually calculate maximum usable bandwidth on the network.
The ratio of the network's bandwidth-delay product to the TCP window size gives us that max bandwidth number.
The 2-stream 802.11ac in the new MacBook Air supports link rates of up to 867Mbps. My iPerf data showed ~533Mbps of usable bandwidth in the best conditions. Round trip latency over 50 ping requests between the MBA client and an iMac wired over Gigabit Ethernet host averaged 2.8ms. The bandwidth-delay product is 533Mbps x 2.8ms or 186,550 bytes. Now let's look at the maximum usable bandwidth as a function of TCP window size:
|Impact of TCP Window Size on 802.11ac Transfer Rates, 533Mbps Link, 2.8ms Latency
|Window Size
|Bandwidth-Delay Product
|TCP Window/BDP
|Link Bandwidth
|Max Realized Bandwidth
The only way to get the full 533Mbps is by using a TCP window size that's at least 256KB.
I re-ran my iPerf test and sniffed the packets that went by to confirm the TCP window size during the test. The results came back as expected. OS X properly scaled up the TCP window to 256KB, which enabled me to get the 533Mbps result:
I then monitored packets going by while copying files over an AFP share and found my culprit:
OS X didn't scale the TCP window size beyond 64KB, which limits performance to a bit above what I could get over 5GHz 802.11n on the MacBook Air. Interestingly enough you can get better performance over HTTP or FTP, but in none of the cases would OS X scale TCP window size to 256KB - thus artificially limiting 802.11ac.
I spent a good amount of time trying to work around this issue, even manually setting TCP window size in OS X, but came up empty handed. I'm not overly familiar with the networking stack in OS X so it's very possible that I missed something, but I'm confident in saying that there's an issue here. At a risk of oversimplifying, it looks like the TCP window scaling algorithm features a hard limit in OS X's WiFi networking stack optimized for 802.11n and unaware of ac's higher bandwidth capabilities. I should also add that the current developer preview of OS X Mavericks doesn't fix the issue, nor does using an Apple 802.11ac router.
The bad news is that in its shipping configuration, the new MacBook Air is capable of some amazing transfer rates over 802.11ac but you won't see them when copying files between Macs or PCs. The good news is the issue seems entirely confined to software. I've already passed along my findings to Apple. If I had to guess, I would expect that we'll see a software update addressing this.

Subyman - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkFantastic read as always. Great job finding the ac file transfer culprit. Maybe some consulting work from Apple is in the future? :) Reply
helloworldv2 - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkI bought the i7 version with 8GB ram and and 512GB SSD. I think with real world usage (some browsing, mail on, a little office, running some terminal stuff that utilizes both cores 100% for an hour or so), battery life is something like 5-7 hours. Pretty good, but rather disappointing in the light of the advertised 12 hours. It's by no means an 'all day computer'.. Reply
secretmanofagent - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkDid you read what Apple said? 12 hours is for the i5 13" MBA.
"Testing conducted by Apple in May 2013 using preproduction 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Air units and preproduction 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-based 11-inch MacBook Air units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information."
Would be a shame to have to read, though. Reply
helloworldv2 - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkI did read it. I knew I wouldn't get 12 hours out of it with normal use. However, I was expecting more than 5 hours, that's for sure. Also, many reviews hype how amazing the battery life is. IMO it's just OK. Definitely far from amazing.. Reply
Paapaa125 - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkAre you sure you got the Haswell version? If you get only 5h with light usage using 75% brightness, something is totally wrong. Reply
helloworldv2 - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkYes, I'm sure. With light usage, meaning nothing but a few tabs in FF, I get maybe 7-8 hours (display in full brightness). Rather unremarkable, I would say. It's a fine machine, nonetheless. Just don't expect miracles with the battery.. Reply
Paapaa125 - Monday, June 24, 2013 - linkAh, try Safari and also set the brightness to 75%. Apple figure (12h) has been done with brightness set to 75%. This has a big impact to battery life. Set it to 50% and you might get even more.
You can't compare figures which have been achieved with different brightness levels. Reply
seapeople - Tuesday, June 25, 2013 - linkBrightness is pretty much the number one power consumer in a laptop like this (which is actually mentioned in the review). If you expect to run anything at 100% brightness and get anywhere near ideal battery life then you are bound to be disappointed. Reply
name99 - Monday, June 24, 2013 - link"802.11ac ... better spatial efficiency within those channels (256QAM vs. 64QAM in 802.11n). Today, that means a doubling of channel bandwidth and a 4x increase in data encoded on a carrier"
This is a deeply flawed statement in two ways.
(a) The modulation form describes (essentially) how many bits can be packed into a single up/down segment of a sinusoid wave form, ie how many bits/Hz. It is constrained by the amount of noise in the channel (ie the signal to noise ratio) which smeers different amplitudes together so that you can't tell them apart.
It can be improved somewhat over 802.11n performance by using a better error correcting code (which essentially distributes the random noise level over a number of bits, so that a single large amount of noise rather than destroying that bit information gets spread into a smaller amount of noise over multiple bits).
802.11ac uses LDPC, a better error correcting code, which allows it to use more aggressive modulation.
Point is, in all this the improved modulation has nothing to do with spatial encoding and spatial efficiency.
(b) The QAM64 and QAM256 refer to the number of possible states encoded per bit, not in any way to the number of bits encoded. So QAM64 encodes 6 bits per Hz, QAM256 encodes 8 bits per Hz. the improvement is 8/6=1.33 which is nice, but is not "a 4x increase in data encoded on a carrier".
We are close to the end of the line with fancy modulation. From now on out, pretty much all the heavy lifting comes from
(1) wider spectrum (see the 80 and 160MHz of 802.11ac) and
(2) smaller, more densely distributed base stations.
We could move from 3 up to 4 spatial streams (perhaps using polarization to help out) but that's tough to push further without much larger antennas (and a rapidly growing computational budget).
There is one BIG space for a one-time 2x improvement, namely tossing the 802.11 distributed MAC, which wastes half the time waiting randomly for one party or another to talk, and switching to a centrally controlled MAC (like the telcos) along with a very narrow RACH (random access channel) for lightweight tasks like paging and joining.
My guess/hope is that the successor to 802.11ac will consist primarily of the two issues I've described above (and so will look a lot more like new SW than new DSP algorithms), namely a central arbiter for a network along with the idea that, from the start, the network will consist of multiple small low-power cells working together, about one per room, rather than a single base station trying to reach out to 100 yards or more.

bittwiddler - Monday, June 24, 2013 - link• The keyboard key size and spacing is the same on the 11 and 13" MBAs.
• The 11" MBA is exempt from being removed from luggage during TSA screenings, unlike the 13.
• The 11" screen is lower height than most and doesn't get caught by the clip for the airplane seat tray table.
• When it comes to business travel computing, I'm not interested in a race to the bottom. Reply

Grilled Whole Chicken with Barbecue Sauce
For this all-American classic, use a great homemade sauce and slow-cook a whole bird for the juiciest results.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 whole chicken (4 to 4 1/2 pounds)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/2 cup Classic Barbecue Sauce
Step 1
Set up grill for indirect grilling. Rinse chicken inside and out and dry thoroughly. Generously season inside and out with coarse salt and ground pepper. Clean and lightly oil hot grates.
Step 2
Place chicken, breast side up, on opposite side of grill from heat. Cover and grill until cooked through, or a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 160 degrees, about 1 1/2 hours, rotating halfway through cooking (if using a charcoal grill, add a couple of handfuls of charcoal every half hour to maintain heat).
Step 3
About 15 minutes before chicken is done, brush with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce. Let chicken rest 20 minutes before carving.

Beaming down at a pencil portrait of David Archuleta she drew, Jamie Jensen happily discussed her penchant for artwork.
"I started in middle school, started wanting to draw," she said. "Just when I have spare time."
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
A student at Canyons Transition Academy in Sandy, Jamie is now using her love for art to contribute to a new jobs skills program at her school, which serves young adults ages 18 to 21 with moderate to severe disabilities.
Called CTE Crew, the program helps students develop social and financial skills by creating and selling food items weekly at the academy, in the Canyons District Support Center on 9400 South and 300 East.
The school exists primarily to help students develop the confidence and skills to shift smoothly to adulthood, including the workforce.
"[It's] to provide students who are interested in working in the food industry an opportunity to use those skills," said Rebecca Berrett, a vocational rehabilitation counselor at the academy.
Jamie helps arrange food and designed the program's mountain and sun logo, while other students provide customer service and cashier, cook, clean or deliver orders.
Julian Figgins, a second-year CTE student, said the snack shop offers a rewarding environment to all.
"The older people see their youth doing something good," he said. "[It's] a good work environment. We all have our certain issues with each other, but we always end up working out."
The program is the brainchild of Special Education Executive Director Katharine McCary, but is run by educators, including Berrett.
The program began in February and operates Wednesdays from 10:30 to 11:50 a.m. The five to eight participating students sell items ranging from fruit and granola bars to crazy bread, with customers coming from the building or nearby Mount Jordan Middle School.
Sales replenish an equipment and supplies fund — and perhaps the occasional pizza party like last week's to celebrate the students' work.
Fred Ochieng, a Kenyan paraeducator who moved to Utah four years ago, said he appreciates how the school, including Crew, makes a real difference for students.
"If the whole African continent would do what [we] are doing here in this school, it would be a better place," he said. "Working with these kids really brings out so much [good]."
Ochieng said the program helps students become more socially capable.
"Some of [the students] are just too shy to initiate conversation, so by being here, it kind of brings out the social aspect," he said.
Victoria Cochrane, a first-year CTE student, said she enjoys the friendships and skills CTE Crew sparks.
"I like it because I make so much friends. … I like to try and help other people when I can," she said. "I get to help customers and try and answer questions."
Brennan Haycock, a first-year CTE student, said the program is giving him marketable skills.
"I've learned how to act and talk at a job," he said. "It's something to add to my résumé."
Haycock said he also enjoys spending time talking with other students in the program.
Some challenges include making sure to prepare the right amount of food to sell and advertising enough, which has so far been done primarily by email, said Ochieng.Next Page >

The rumors about someone buying JBoss have been bouncing around for weeks. As I was working on a presentation titled Commercializing Open Source for Eric von Hippel's Democratizing Innovation conference this week, I went to Red Hat's page to pick up their logo and saw that they announced the acquisition of JBoss this morning.
This is a huge success for everyone involved, especially Marc Fleury (JBoss CEO and founder) and the primary investors – Accel, Intel, and Matrix. JBoss only did one disclosed round of financing for $10 million about two years ago. Red Hat acquired them for $350 million with an additional $70 million earn out. This is about 10% of Red Hat's market cap.

King 1117 Ultimate Series Marching Bb TrumpetThis unique trumpet delivers a powerhouse sound through a .462 inch bore and dynamically angled 5.2 inch bell. Strategic bracing makes this horn perfect for high-energy maneuvers.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This horn is very ruggedly made. I played one marching with the Blue Knights and simply loved the horn. The valves weren't like a Bach horn, but if taken care of, sufficed well. If I was to ever teach a hornline, I highly would recommend a set of King horns. I personally also like them because the conical shaping allows them to be dark and resonate, the same philosophy that gives G bugles their power on the football field.
I personally own one and use it for marching band and symphonic settings. The larger bell size allows the player to use a maximum amount of air while still being able to keep the sound dark and resonant. I would recommend this horn to any upper level high school musician that is looking for that edge to carry into the next season of marching.
I used this model king trumpet while on tour with the Blue Knights drum and bugle corp in 2009. It was such a free blowing instrument, and the larger bell made it easier to acomodate a large powerful sound without sounding bladdy. The tone was amazing, and the key mechanisms were very well made and allowed for many runs and fast passages, tuning was great throughout the range of the instrument, and was also consistent day to day. This sturdy instrument was amazing, and served the core well.
The Magic Drum & Bugle Corps is using the King Ultimate Marching Brass this year and I had a chance to listen to the corps this past Memorial weekend and by switching to King it has completely changed the tone of the corps to a nice clear and rich sound. Also had some time to play around on a trumpet. Although you will have to drown the valves with valve oil till you get them worked in. Excellent projection and tone quality. Came with a nice hard cargo case for stacking. And for the price, you can't beat it.

Funeral Insurance
Reduce financial stress with Suncorp Funeral Insurance
Funeral insurance is designed to reduce your family's financial burden at what is always an emotional time. With the cost of funerals running into thousands of dollars, the last thing most families need when they're coping with the loss of a loved one is to dig into their savings. While many people have life insurance, normally this doesn't pay a benefit until after the relevant paperwork has been submitted and processed. This takes time, and it's unlikely the money will be available at short notice to pay for a funeral.
Suncorp Funeral Plan is easy-to-obtain funeral insurance and is designed to help save your loved ones thousands of dollars in funeral expenses. On your death, it pays a lump sum benefit to cover the costs of a funeral and other associated expenses. You can apply for as little as $5,000 or as much as $30,0002. And to reward you for your loyalty, every 3 years you'll receive a 10% refund of the funeral insurance premiums you've paid1.

|Designed to help cover funeral costs and other final expenses.
|10% cash back every 3 years1
|We'll give you 10% of your premiums back every 3 years that you are covered, for the life of your cover.

i'm actually not sure . . . cause i sort of half/farm. I take my friend's du's for kills, but they only amount to 10% or 15% max to my total kills . . . so i guess it really wouldn't matter for me whether farming is stopped or not . . .
bump, bump bump, bump bump, bump, bump it up!
with the current state of the game and set of rules.. i would rather let my friend farm me for a few kills.. rather then getting killed by someone else... i will be 0d as is.. so why not help a friend who cares about getting a killer fam/individual rank..
umm.. what really is a difference between donating kills.. and getting farmed?...
Farming is when you tell a friend or anyone to hire some DUs that you can kill and get best ratio, then hit him, repeat the process again and again until the guy is maxed
Donation is like, you give your friends a chance to go for it, you hire as usual and before you hire tell someone so he can kill you b4 someone else do
Well at least thats what i understand it is.
still sounds like farming to me either way. and i personally think you can talk to your friends by getting together to go on a REAL killing spree. like in the old days before i even joined TMB. when ppl had to boost another person to kill their du's and when sometimes ppl would have to team up to kill one person who had a ton of du's. but of course all that was when we still had 24 hits in 24 hrs.
bump, bump, bumpitup!

Thomas Jefferson appears several times in Jill Lepore's latest book. In a piece that discusses Harriet Beecher Stowe's treatment of black men, Charles Dickens's horror at Jefferson owning his own offspring, and William Wells Brown's 1853 novel "Clotel," about a white president's black daughter, the most shocking section involves part of a letter Jefferson wrote concerning racial mixing and categorization. A person like Harriet Hemings, his daughter with slave Sally Hemings, would be, in his classification, called "e (eighth), who having less than ¼ of a, or of pure negro blood, to wit ⅛ only, is no longer a mulatto, so that a third cross clears the blood." It's a document as obscure as it is revealing.
"The Story of America" comprises 20 essays, each of which concerns a text, such as John Smith's bogus history of the founding of Jamestown, Va.; Benjamin Franklin's "Poor Richard's Almanack''; Noah Webster's "Nue Merrykin Dikshunary," as one mocking editorial dubbed it. Lepore, who teaches history at Harvard and writes for The New Yorker, brings to the task a keen eye for the often-competing claims of history, politics, and literature. She finds her most fruitful subjects in the intersections among the three; as she argues, "the rise of American democracy is bound up with the history of reading and writing, which is one of the reasons the study of American history is inseparable from the study of American literature."

Watermelon Seeds
The perfect summertime treat!
It's hard to think of summer without thinking of watermelon! Ranging in size from slightly larger than a softball to hefty 50-pound beauties, watermelons come in a range of colors, both inside and out. Although most people think of watermelons as fruits, they're actually a warm-season veggie. Watermelons are quite versatile, offering seeded and seedless varieties and proving willing to grow their vigorous vines in almost any setting, including up trellises! Low in calories and high in nutrients, the sweet, juicy watermelon is nothing short of delicious!

About SBBA
What started out as a little Google Group founded by Krista Harris, publisher of Edible Santa Barbara, has turned into over 100 enthusiastic Backyard Beekeepers yearning to learn more about the Majestic World of the Honey Bee.
In the spring of 2011, the group began its journey to more formal organization through the efforts of Todd Bebb and Paul Cronshaw. Now an established California non-profit, SBBA hopes to bring our goals of education, awareness and honeybee preservation to a new level.
We are fortunate to have some of the most knowledgeable and experienced Beekeepers living right here in Santa Barbara, willing to share this knowledge and experience with us. Learning how to take care of the Honey Bee, so that she can continue taking care of us, is what we all hope to do.
We hope you will enjoy this web site, learn from it, and contribute your experiences with the Bees.
Bee Well and Bee Happy
Paul Cronshaw / President
Paul "The Beeman" Cronshaw has been keeping honeybees in Santa Barbara County since graduating from SBHS in 1971. He set up his first hive on the roof of his parent's house, purchased his first hive equipment from Sears catalog, and ordered a package of bees from Mississippi. Since then he has been following his passion for honeybees by maintaining a small apiary in the Montecito foothills, mentoring beginner beekeepers, teaching beekeeping to high school students, removing and relocating honeybees humanely from structures, and recently starting a Host A Hive program to promote the urban beekeeping movement.
Todd Bebb / Vice President
Todd Bebb started beekeeping in January of 2011, with an interest in backyard gardening, and a desire to help out the bees after seeing a local showing of Vanishing of the Bees. He joined the local Santa Barbara Beekeepers Google Group, took a Beginning Beekeeping Class that Paul offered at Fairview Gardens, and bought his first hive. He was immediately smitten by the Bees, and now takes on as many Bee Rescues and Relocations as he possibly can. He has been married to Helene for over 25 years and loves spending time with his sons, Chris and Kam.
Gina Jepson / Secretary
Gina Jepson, Secretary and SBBA founding member, brought five years of beekeeping experience, as well as being responsible for creating the Sweet Start concept. She and her husband built our first web site and were instrumental in much of the early branding and formation of SBBA's many programs, including the Master Beekeeper Certification program.
Scott Engblom
Scott Engblom became one of Paul Cronshaw's beekeeping disciples after watching his beekeeping presentations during Earth Day 2010 and through Paul's patient mentoring in the years following that fateful day. Since becoming a backyard beekeeper, he has volunteered his time to help in bee rescues and bee relocations and to help bring awareness to the public as part of SBBA on the importance of the honeybee in our daily lives. He is a fisheries biologist by profession and an avid outdoor enthusiast.
Jordan benShea
Jordan benShea, stumbled upon beekeeping in early 2013 but was quickly intrigued and found herself devoting time to the Santa Barbara Beekeeping Association in an effort to help the bees. Within the first year Jordan became an active member representing the well-being of the bees in the community while partaking in hands-on experience during swarm calls and bait-outs. What Jordan loves most about working with the bees is how you can be instantly immersed in nature with their amazing ecosystem. She recently completed her Apprentice certificate and is now working on her Journeyman and spending time with her four hives. Jordan is a strategic marketing consultant and enjoys free time in nature.

Opel Wraps

"I bought this product to prevent further damage to my bumper due to the parallel parkers who have no judgment in space nor respect for the property of others.

Find the Llama: A House Tour
"I Spy" Game
Every now and then, you just need a silly way to relax and kill some time. Here's a mini-game with precisely that purpose in mind. In each of these photos, drawn from some of our recent house tours, I've hidden a llama somewhere. Can you find it?

hahahaha i found them all!! heheh
Yay! A little bit of fun for the work day!
As soon as I opened the email I thought "Yay! This house tour has a llama in the backyard!"...
too easy
Me thinks that these are Alpacas. Having had a llama I might know the difference but would Apartment Therapy?
Carolyn. You are weird. Carry on. xoxo.
Statues and calendar more llama like but the kitchen pic is def an alpaca
Quite honestly, I just used Google Image Search for "llama," and went from there. No offense was meant to any mislabeled alpacas.
That first llama/alpaca is SUPER creepy.
Alpaca, llama, whatever. Home sick and enjoyed a minute of just plain fun. Thanks, Carolyn
Tina, come get some ham!
Go home, Apartment Therapy! You're drunk!
Well that was random...
I see what you did there with the cat/llama/alpaca thing in #3 though - creepy!
I never saw a black llama before!?! That was lots of fun... I LOVED the first little guy peering into the kitchen! (Sorry, eabrobst!)
That black one looks like a cat with a boxy head....
Haha! I knew they were alpacas too! They are cuter than llamas!
...Slow news day? ;)
Where can I get an alpacat?
The cat one was disturbing! Otherwise - fun!
THAT was great. Please let's do more of these silly posts during a dull workday?
I saw the first picture before I read the description and I thought it was a real llama. I'm very disappointed. *goes off to research feasibility of keeping a llama in back yard*

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school cares more about their personal issues than the education they are supposed to give students. The teachers participate in drama/rumors the kids are involved in. The principles are never in their office nor are the teachers ever in their classrooms. The staff acknowledge bullying going on and do nothing about it and sometimes even participate in it. This school is very unorganized and lack communication between staff badly! If any parent sends their child here please be very involved!
I attend this school this isn't really what the school says they have to offer. All Staff members treat students unfairly, and the rules don't make sense at all: 1) Wear a belt if your pants have belt loops or lunch detention. 2) No Mohawks because they are not in dress code. 3) Sac. (detention) if you forgot ONE homework. and so on... This is not the school you want to attend to!
My daughter attends Mata for the first time and she really loves it. She loves the teachers, kids, and all of the electives. As far as the dress code that s a district thing not the school, so maybe for the previous comments you need to direct that to AISD.com for the bad ratings not Mata. Keep up the good work MATA!!!!
I wasn't pleased at all at this school. The teachers seem so drawn into their personal lives to care about preparing the students for middle and high school. I agree, the dress code was extremely strict, and whoever didn't follow it was punished. I went here for both years, and although I don't really remember it that well, I wouldn't actually recommend it too anyone!
it is too strict . my question is how is my son supposed to express himself when every body dresses the same they make them look like slaves
I am a parent and would not refer anyone to go to this school It seems they care more about not being in mode of dress than learning.
I can not agree with the last corespondent. This school is truly lacking in the experience needed for their students. My son goes to this school and I find the teacher nonchalant attitude about the student academics appalling. This is one of the main reasons I am moving out of this district.
This school is amazing. I went to this school, and I have never loved any school more. All my teachers were nice, the kids were also nice, there weren't any bad influence around the school, and they were just great. I wish I could go back there.

I was playing with JRuby and wondered how hard it would be to consume
Clojure from JRuby.
It turns out that it was not hard at all.
For anyone interested, I attached a working interface.
I came across this great article
on Slashdot.
Developing general web frameworks and frameworkless web applications is
difficult because lots of different ways to connect to web servers need to
be implemented. Since Ruby is popular for writing web applications, we try
to address this problem by proposing a lightweight abstraction mapping HTTP
requests onto a simple Ruby API. This makes it possible to combine all
kinds of web servers with different web applications without further
change. Furthermore, our solution enables new functionality by combining
and composing web applications, as well as better testability. Talk given
at the European Ruby Conference (Euruko) 2007.

Der Sturm (The Tempest) - Further information
Jörg Mannes
Music by Anton Bruckner, Jean Sibelius and Pjotr I. Tchaikovsky
William Shakespeare's memorable characters and portrays of human life have inspired countless artists over the past centuries. The list of compositions, adaptations and films based on works such as 'Romeo and Juliet', 'The Taming of the Shrew', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is long and transformations of his works into other genres are manifold.
'The Tempest' inspired Jörg Mannes, Ballet Director of the State Theatre in Hanover, to create a ballet adaptation for the Bavarian State Ballet. Born and educated in Vienna, Jörg Mannes became a member of the Vienna Opera Ballet in 1985. There he danced numerous, mainly contemporary, choreographies by Ashton, Balanchine, Cranko, Kylián, Van Manen and Forsythe. He was seeking new experiences during exchange programmes in Monte Carlo, London and New York. A Nurejev-Scholarship gave him the opportunity in 1988 to work at the opera in Paris for a period of six months. In 1991 he became a soloist at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein where he also had his debut as a choreographer. As guest choreographer he was invited to work in Montreal, Indianapolis and with the Bolshoi Ballet. He has received awards at international choreography competitions.
Jörg Mannes chose music from works by Anton Bruckner, Peter I. Tchaikovsky and Jean Sibelius. 'The Tempest' will be conducted by David Robert Coleman, stage design and costumes are by Tina Kitzing and Lenka Radecky-Kupfer, who again are part of Jörg Mannes' production team.

CALL IT EVOLUTION: THE original 1968 Planet Of The Apes had Roddy MacDowell covered in furry-faced make-up. Tim Burton's 2001 remake layered Helena Bonham Carter in primate prosthetics. Rupert Wyatt's prequel takes the franchise to the next level, WETA's performance-capture CG breathing subtle new life into the monkey-movie formula.
But forget about all the high-tech code written to map the movement of chimp fur, the real triumph here is a human one: Andy Serkis in digital make-up giving soul to ape Caesar. Someone give that primate an Oscar! (Serkis deservedly gets his own featurette on the DVD and Blu-ray.)
It's Caesar who drives Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, a chimp hero that's human enough to make us care. Injected with an Alzheimer's wonder drug concocted by James Franco's lab scientist, Caesar goes through an arc from pet to test subject to jailhouse agitator and revolutionary leader.
It's a thoughtful, moving character study – unlikely for a $90m summer blockbuster, we know – that works because it takes its monkey business seriously. Born in the era of the '60s Civil Rights struggle, Planet Of The Apes originally tapped into American anxieties over racial tension.
Rise updates the theme as well as the make-up, drawing on everything from the Arab Spring to anti-capitalist protests. By the time the Golden Gate Bridge finale unleashes gorillas vs helicopters, Wyatt's managed to pull off a brilliant coup: we're hoping for, not fearful of, Caesar's coming banana republic. Like Serkis, we're all monkeys now.
It works because it takes its monkey business seriously.

For failing to sign top overall pick Brady Aiken, the Houston Astros will get the 2nd pick in 2015 draft as well their their regular pick. The teams with the 10 worst records (top 11 picks) have their first round pick protected if they signed a qualified free agent this offseason.

Travis Wood threw five innings of shutout ball with eight strikeouts, Steve Bruno singled and doubled, scored a run, and drove-in another, and Wes Darvill tripled, walked twice, drove-in a run, and scored a run, leading the Daytona Cubs to a 5-1 victory over the Modesto Nuts (Colorado Rockies Hi-A affiliate) on Field #3, and Gioskar Amaya singled, doubled, tripled, and scored three runs, Marco Hernandez drove-in two runs with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly, and Rony Rodriguez slugged a solo home run over the LF fence and onto Center Street, as the Kane County Cougars and the Asheville Tourists (Rockies Lo-A affiliate) played to a ten-inning 6-6 tie on Field #2, in Cactus League Minor League Camp action this afternoon at Fitch Park in Mesa, AZ.
well lots of people are stupid, who the fuck cares what they think?
Rich people know how to stay rich, I'm sure Crane wants the money in his pocket instead of someone's else's, it's what rich people do. They got screwed over on a TV deal, I'm guessing that's the big sticking point and where the 100s of millions is coming from.
Astros had nearly the same plan as the Cubs and our year ahead, they're doing just fine.
people are still trying to gauge how serious jim crane is about the astros and investing heavily in them.
last year he sued the former owners for artificially inflating the team's value causing him to lose "100s of millions."
the whole b.aiken thing this year didn't help things.
Major Free Agent Player in 2015?
Watch the Houston Astros
Have the #2 and #5 protected picks and #32 compensation pick, plus no state tax.
Turner has nice stuff but eventually potential has to become something more than that. I can't imagine they'll be standing pat on the rotation. I wouldn't be shocked to see a move for Lester as much as I loathe the idea of free agent TOR contracts. It'll be interesting, also to see what they do with Jackson. I don't think they're quite ready to eat the contract. Reading between the lines, it sounds like they're going to see what he does in the off season to try to address his woes. I myself do not hold out any hope on that front, but I'm not the one whose wallet is getting emptied.
Rizzo is mentioned
Always could be worse, could be the Rockies...
I guessed Bochy and Black at first, but it is Maddon.
At first I thought Bochy or Girardi, but I think it's Joe Maddon.
Gardenhire fired by Twins...13 years at the job.
Scioscia still on top with 15 seasons with Angels.
Trivia time...Who now has the 2nd longest tenure?
Well, yeah, I didn't mean it as predictive, of course, but that article is odd in that it sets up a dichotomy between past performance and predictive measures. Predictive measures ARE based in part on past statistics. Each team focuses on a set of statistics they feel are most predictive of future success, and they have arrived at their model almost certainly by estimating a range of sophisticated models on the statistics of past players to see what stats in one stage in a career are most highly correlated with the stats they value in a later stage of a career.
eh, WAR shouldn't really be used a predictive measure...not that it won't correlate well, but not in and of itself. It's mostly a good measure of how the season went.
I meant to say it would be fun to see how closely this roster matches the 2015 All Star roster. He's not making any predictions here, but we do use WAR as a predictive statistic, so you would think many of these names should be the same.
What do you mean by accurate?
This is exactly why we won't see any blockbusters that cost us multiple top prospects for quite some time. None of these guys are guaranteed successes and the whole rebuild was about stocking the system and having layers and waves of promising talent. There's no way they undo any of that to acquire a Stanton or TOR pitcher. Free agency yes. But after basically tanking for 3 years you don't gamble on the health/talent of a single pitcher or outfielder if it thins out all the hard earned depth.
Here's a chart of win percentage and attendance by season.https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B337-tFMKBuwbXRHR...
Is the Cubs recession finally over?

You get you what you pay for with the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4X: superlative performance and flexibility.
The Canon EF 70-200mm f4 IS USM L lens is a professional grade 70-200mm lens without the size and heft, as well as price, as found in f2.8 versions.
Versatile, sturdy, and built with high-quality optics, the Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM offers a good value, although it's not exactly cheap.
The 55-250mm f3.5-5.6 STM fills a big hole for the dual-lens kit devotees of the company's latest Rebel models.
Unlike its pricier f2.8 alternative, the $1,500 24-70mm f4 model can compensate for camera shake. Also new for December: an $850 image-stabilized 35mm f2 lens.
One of Canon's most popular lenses gets better optics, coatings, and bokeh--but costs $1,000 more and doesn't get image stabilization. New wide-angle prime lenses do get it, though.
The general-purpose zoom lens costs about $100 more than Canon's equivalent, but Sigma thinks its image quality means the lens is worth the extra money.
Canon today announced the EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM lens, a successor to its EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens that was launched in 2008.
The new lens, part of Sigma's high-end "art" product line, will ship in November, but its true competitiveness won't be known until Sigma reveals its price.
Recent patent filings reveal details of a possible successor to the Canon 17-40mm F4 L USM lens, one of the company's most popular lenses.

A little more Olympics (bear with me, watch the bollards)
So, with the budget having somehow quadrupled, what does Hugh Muir in (I blush) the Guardian suggest?
And so to money. Is there anyone who doesn't think we submitted a bid with figures massaged to impress the IOC, or that the IOC didn't know that?
Er, me, actually, and pretty much everyone who last year on the TV and so on was burbling about the £2 billion cost of the Games.
A meaningful budget is now being drawn up
Oh well, that's helpful, isn't it? Will this one include VAT?
and when it is unveiled politicians and the media will scrutinise it. So they should. But let's be mature about it. Staging the games will be messy, costly and turbulent, but isn't that a price worth paying if it means that shamefully neglected communities will have better infrastructure and life chances than they have had for generations?
As the comments after the article say - no, it flipping isn't. If you want regeneration, why not just pay for it because you think the area deserves regeneration - not using some idiotic flatulent games in the wrong place. Flipping heck, Manchester would have been the perfect place for it. Always assuming they'd got rid of the bollards from hell. Watch them in action:
And then Ken Livingstone weighs in. Nobody thought the congestion charge would work, he says. (I did, actually, Ken. It seemed an obvious and brilliant way to apply road charging.) Everyone still asks: why not just regenerate the place? And nobody answers.
- These posts might be related (the database thinks..):
- London wins Olympics: and now interviewers start saying "Yes, but.." (6 July 2005; score: 42.17%)
- Words fail me. And them, apparently. (11 July 2005; score: 36.5%)
- Ever wondered why you don't see any ads against the Olympics? (17 June 2005; score: 35.1%)
