Keeping Bugs Out with Windows Open?
Good Questions
Q: We live in the Hollywood Hills and have one-year-old twins. With the weather so nice, I'm keeping the doors open and the kids are running in and out of the house — well, crawling. The thing is, since we live in the hills we get tons of little flying bugs which are annoying.
Are there any indoor candles or things I can use to distract them? Safe for a family?

I guess since the kids are just crawling and not really walking or climbing, you're not concerned that they'd climb onto furniture and out the window. I suggest getting temporary screens for the windows. I think there are some that can clip to windows that aren't built with slats to hold screens.
try installing walk through screen doors
I'd honestly like to know a non-screen option as well since I have similar issues except the flying bugs that get in are big enough to be annoying and plentiful but small enough to fit through the screen mesh. :/
When you find the answer please address the problem of having my cake and eating it too!
I would suggest Magic Mesh (the walkthrough magnetic As Seen on TV screen), but after having just bought a set of it, having it arrive full of holes and then having to fight with people on the phone (who didn't believe me that I had even ordered it, despite the fact that my credit card was charged and the item had shipped and arrived) I finally got a replacement. Replacement lasted a full week before I ripped it down in exasperation (with the stick on velcro being left behind, permanently attached FOREVER) because it kept falling off, and has HUGE GAPS between the magnets where bees and small birds can fly through, and oh yeah...that magical thing that happens where the magnets just automatically clip closed after you walk through? Does not happen. You have to physically re-magnet them each time you walk through. So there you go. Free review. Avoid Magic Mesh as a solution. Maybe you can get a screen with a big enough doggie door for the kids to crawl in and out? ;) Hahaha.
we have screens on all our windows. perhaps you can find a few screens for the windows you open most often
I think even if the bugs can fit through the screens, it may deter them away. I have some half screens that you remove when you close the window & insert them when you open it. It sits safely in the window track, so it' won't fall in or out. There are 2 parts to the screen that you can either pull out or push in to fit into different size windows. The screened parts are framed like normally. They kind of operate like a baby gate if that gives better understanding.
Unfortunately, I dont know where they're from. My mom gave them to me and I can't find anything similar online. I don't even know how to search for it. Maybe someone else knows what i'm talking about? I hope you can find them though because theyre so great & you can use them in any window :)
perhaps if you sprayed some sort of bug spray around window frames and door frames and used some sort of citronella outdoors to deter bugs from coming near the house?
I spoke too soon, here's a link on amazon that's similar to what I suggested:
Maybe one of those and a citronella candle will keep them away. The screens I have seem better then this one on amazon. Theyre framed with a nice heavy duty plastic and have a good quality screen.
If you don't want to deal with a screen door (which I would recommend if you really do leave the door open so much), you could always hang up mosquito netting over the doorway.
One big reason that bugs fly in is because they're attracted to the light. If you keep your home a little dimmer, maybe a few less critters will fly in.
@SPEAKABOOBOO Try the ones from Gardeners Supply Co. They are probably more money then the As Seen on TV version, but are quite substantial. http://www.gardeners.com/Hands-Free-Bug-Screen/12725,default,pd.html?start=5&q=screen
Do not get Magic Mesh. The velcro which fixes the mesh to the doorframe is stronger than the glue to hold the velcro pad to the doorframe. This reduces the Magic Mesh to a flapping piece of screen. Might as well get the more attractive mosquito netting and afix it to the top of the frame only.
I would love to know what does work. I still have the original 1920's windows on my house and unfortunately I can't find any screens that will fit! We are currently the favorite cool place for the bugs of the neighborhood.
My stepdad made custom screens for our windows - he made a frame out of wood that fit in the open window and then stapled mosquito net taught all around it.
You said you wanted a non-screen option. Ever hear of air curtains?
You've no doubt experienced them in stores where you walk through a door and get a blast of air from above. Those aren't for drying you off or cooling you down or warming you up; they're for preventing outside air from getting in; including bugs in the outside air.
Do a search on Amazon for 36" air curtain. You could probably have it wired up so that it only turns on when someone walks close to it.
Bite the bullet and get a screen door and screen windows. It'll be worth it.
They have covers for the bottoms of screen doors to prevent your kids from falling through the screen which I would suggest using for a few years.
If you can't find screen windows that fit, you can buy a role of mesh and probably rig something up. I wonder if a high end hardware/window store could order you custom replacement screen windows?
I just googled "replacement screen windows" and came across a whole bunch of websites where you can order parts or custom screen windows.
You get my drift :-)
When I was a student I lived in a place that was air conditioned and had no opening windows, just a door to a balcony. The AC broke and it was 95 degrees out -- I HAD to keep that door open and in Austin there are many, many flying bugs in the summer. I went to the fabric store and bought fine tulle in a bit more than double the length of my door plus a tension rod. Draped the tulle over the rod and let it puddle on the floor. This kept out the lions share of bugs though it is not as good as an actual screen door. You have to pull it into place periodically. I don't know that it would be a great solution if you were using the door alot -- but maybe for windows? You could tack it to the sides of the frames.
First world problems FTW.
LittleMissSunshine, this is a decor site...EVERYTHING here is a first world problem.
here's a beautiful, cheap and easy solution for your windows... lace
Either have custom made screens made which are quite inexpensive or have walk through screens affixed at the top.
Get the walk-through screens that attach with tension rods and/or velcro They cost about $10. If the bugs still get through, you could try hanging two up?
What about a fan that is aimed at the door opening? Kind of like the air curtain mentioned by JAMES COBALT, but a cute little oscillator or some such. It would not only keep bugs from flying in, but keep the air moving around, too. You could also try setting out bowls or jars of distilled white vinegar with a drop or two of dishwasing soap (ie, dawn) to attract the gnats and noseeums that do get in. The vinegar also helps with household odors :)
You might as well invest in a screen door now. The ones with a pneumatic slow-close feature are best with little kids around, nobody will get their fingers slammed. And you can order screens online made to any size, there are a bajillion places that will make them. We got the fancy '"invisible" mesh and it really is almost like it isn't there.
Yeah, the windows are prettier without them, but with the bugs it's not worth it. Take the screens off in the winter!
@LITTLEMISSSUNSHINE, keeping bugs out of a home is a problem all around the world, particularly in developing countries. Try googling "mosquito netting" and "malaria". Sheesh.
Hang strips of brightly colored cloth ribbons in your windows or doorways; I use thumbtacks. Invest in a variety of insect repellant essential oils. Regularly saturate each ribbon with drops of oil. The breeze in the openings will spread the scent both in and outside.
CEDARWOOD (Juniperus mexicana)
CITRONELLA (Cymbopagon nardus)
LEMONGRASS (Cymbopogon citratus)
PENNYROYAL (Mentha puleglum)
TEA TREE OIL ( Melaleuca alternifolia)
GERANIUM (Pelargonium graveolens)
CATNIP (Nepeta cataria) – Preliminary studies have shown catnip oil to be 10 times more effective at repelling mosquitos!
EUCALYPTUS OIL (Eucalyptus globulus) – Patch test before using on your skin. Keep out of mucus membranes.
Darn. I was hoping there would be a plethora of suggestions like this one: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/an-eco-friendly-and-safe-way-to-repel-flies-170971
I too have no screens partly because they were ugly and partly because one of my dog's hobbies is to scratch the slider door screens all to smithereens.
We use box fans when we are cooking but we mostly just suffer and think unkind thoughts about the bugs. It's kinda nice when a lizard wanders in though.
Sorry, my comment was a little snarky. Believe it or not it came from playfull jealousy after reading "Hollywood Hills". I didn't mean it to be mean or belittle the poster so I apologize for that. I would cover myself in honey stand in an open window to keep bugs from coming in if I had to.
To actually address the post, I think screens are the best option. I have casement windows in my house and the screens are on the inside (the windows open outwards). They are metal screens which I just personally like the look of better than the vinyl/ plastic or paint coated ones.
Also, I don't know what type of decor you have but mosquito net curtains might look nice, (nowadays they come in all sorts of colors) and you could just slide them closed when the window is open
***I would cover myself in honey stand in an open window to keep bugs from coming in if I could live there.
Also, I too was thinking of the idea of the air blower, but a quick and cheap fix would be to maybe put a floor fan at the edge.
I am not sure if this actually works but I have often seen at coffee shops and restaurants that leave their doors open in nice weather a ziploc bag with about an inch of water in it hanging above the door. I asked once and the said the reflection of the water confuses the bugs or something like that and they don't come in.
I heard the ziploc thing too but I haven't tried it. Which may be surprising because I live in Florida which surely is one of the bug capitals of the world?
When we first moved into the apartment every window was fitted with bug screens which totally ruined the gorgeous view of the garden. We work from home and always have the windows and door open because I love fresh air. We rarely use AC because of the high electricity usage.
Yes, bugs come in. But I'd rather have open windows. Mosquitoes come in at dusk every evening. We get the occasional bite but not often. The occasional bite is fine because it builds up your immunity to the venom or whatever it's called. Cruelly, I squish them if I see one on my skin.
If it was a problem, I'd plant mint under the windows because I've heard that keeps them away. But bugs are just a part of life that I've no objection to!
Replace your windows. This will bring them up to code and save you a bundle on heating and cooling....and it will give you screens.
What I have done is get screens made for the windows we use most for cross breezes, and leave them off the bigger view windows.
And sometimes I do put a fly trap outside, far from the house. If you have ever used those stinky traps from the hardware store, they work because basically they smell like something died after pooping itself a week ago. If you can hang one downwind without having to smell it (or your neighbors either), they work for a large area of flies.
If I'm not mistaken lace curtains were originally invented not necessarily to look pretty but to keep bugs out, like angelinethebaker said, they aren't 100% and your kids may or may not rip them down but they are a lot better than nothing.
Very interesting.
I was raised in Minnesota where the winters are cold. Later, living in the South, we had snow and ice and I learned that there were people chose not to own or wear winter coats because they were 'heavy' and 'uncomfortable', which is true, but I had never noticed it before. In Minnesota you wear winter clothes or you die.
I am feeling kind of the same way reading this. I can't imagine not having/ wanting screens on your windows & doors. Everything negative that people say is sort of true, still, it would never have occurred to me to not have screens to keep out the bugs - also birds, squirrels, neighborhood cats, raccoons,etc.
That said, all over Europe one sees streamers of ribbon or plastic hanging across doorways to keep out the bugs. I don't know how well they work, but they must help because everyone does it.
I've sprayed a rosemary & thyme non toxic bug spray (I found it at a local supermarket in the by the bug repellant) around the whole frame of my doors. Bugs won't come near it now! I used to have spiders cross the threshold all the time. I haven't seen any since - it's fantastic.
I don't have a screen door leading out to the roof top deck so got a spring tension rod, stuck it in the doorway, and hung a cheap ikea net curtains on it, and a couple of narrow (about 8 inches wide) fabric panels on the side for looks, with wider black cotton panels to draw across the doorway for privacy (skinny panel, wide panel, net, wide panel, skinny panel). It is easy to push the curtains around on the rod, depending on what I want covering the doorway. It even looks better in the winter time with the door closed. Sometimes I tie the net in a knot near the bottom to let the cats run in and out. Here are the curtains: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/90111980/
The window in the hallway doesn't have a screen either so I have a long lace curtain in front of that window. The odd bug comes in (as does the neighbour's cat) but it doesn't happen that often.
@Vanilla, loved that lace link and the super cute blog!
But since the problem here is the door, something super cheap to try without a lot of fuss or expense, would be the thin draping that pools at the floor also mentioned above.
Won't solve the kid problem, but that sounds like a baby gate deal which unfortunately are a total pain in the...
Wow, view or no view, I can't imagine not having screens! We have a few windows without, where we put our air conditioners in the summer. We never open them otherwise. Our cats would probably go right out, and I don't even want to think about what might come in.
Some of the windows in our sunroom have retractable screens. They are mounted on the insides of the windows so you can pull them down when the windows are open, but they roll up when the windows are closed (sort of like roller blinds, but hidden in the frame).
I was going to suggest growing some thyme near the doors and windows that are left open. You can actually distill the thyme or brew thyme tea and spray it around the openings. We've had fewer bugs since I planted my herb garden on our patio. We also currently have that magnetic mesh screen door up at our door, but it's a pain and is as poor quality as others have described. I'm planning on replacing it with a better-looking, better functioning, home-made version that I'll create this summer when I have more time on my hands.
Dear Pi: Decor is a "problem" for everyone. First world or not. Look around.
I think it is not a problem that the kids crawl in and out, just that the bugs come in. I think it is great to live somewhere where kids can come and go and just be outside. Have to laugh at the image of the kid sized 'doggie door'. I want to know more about the herbal ideas. I know that the dryer sheet in the doorway had no effect on wasps or flies. Screen doors after the kids are bigger. Was going to say faster, but remembered how fast some can craw and scoot.
I think the stock photo used to illustrate this post has confused the issue. Bad choice, AT.
Bugs coming in open first-floor *windows* is an easy fix: flyscreen. This person wants to leave her *doors* open so that her kids can crawl in and out at will, right?
Cheapest/easiest fix would be those hanging plastic strips. Depends how bad your insect situation is, though. I live in Australia, and in summer here the flies are so bad that there's no way I'd *not* be putting screens on those doors. Kids'd just have to wait.
Suggestion: if you have a window that opens from top or bottom then put the adjustable screen in at the top. That way you can have air circulation, no bugs, and a view through your windows. The adjustable screens come in several heights...the 12" high one I bought at my hardware store only cost about $15. Same with the mesh magnet door...I agree that the attachment to the doorframe is poor but the thing works great once you install it with stronger nails or a rod across. What do you expect for $15 bucks?
I live in S Florida,we can have our door open in winter time .
I have a sheer white curtain panel from Target in the door opening.
Close the door and open the curtain.
What about a Venus Fly Trap plant on the window sill? It may help a little bit. There are other bug eating varieties too. I found some info here: http://www.springboardmagazine.com/science/carnivorousplants.htm
My mom used to plant some anti-mosquito plants on pots, and place them around near windows and entrances. I forgot the name of that specific plant she used to grow, but I found a link in the internet:
This may go against having the doors and windows open to get some fresh air, but having a fan blowing, does blow some insects away. Perhaps you could have one of those stand fans blowing air out the window?
I have some friends that have an outdoor fan on their outdoor patio to keep mosquitoes away. And it does help to some extent.
I love to watch movies with beautiful gardens in them, rambling roses crawling along open windows etc....in REALITY, I have to go with screens. I live in an apartment. Came here looking for solutions to tiny tiny bugs getting through the patio and window screens.
I have a patio garden. The building is literally surrounded by trees. Evergreen, pines, Maple, Ash. So close to the building and patio. Bugs are a major issue for me during garden season. Especially the ones that like to creep under the patio door and creep across my floors and even find corners to breed. It's hideous. Save the gorgeous views for the movies.
I didn't always have a problem with the tiny gnats who can get through the screens. But I think when I took down my sheer curtains in the bedroom is when they became a problem. Put them back up. Will see if that helps. Also had the owner send maintenance last year to caulk along the windows and patio door to seal places where time has worn away the sealing. It's the end of April and the bugs are just beginning to come out. They love my patio. Birds are great at keeping down the bug population. So I don't want toxic solutions.
I live in the Midwest. The only relief from bugs is late Fall, Winter and early Spring. Summer. Forget it. Can't imagine open doors and windows without screens. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits all roam through my urban neighborhood and garden. Thanks for all the great comments. Especially the herb garden. I grow flowers. I don't grow veggies because they attract too many little animals and come with a whole set of new pests and problems. But I was planning on trying some herbs out there and always heard Rosemary and Thyme repel bugs.
Old folks back in the day used fans in the window as someone said and sheer curtains because of the movement in the breeze. They indeed don't like moving air. I will have to buy a few fans. Tired of my patio door being closed all Summer.
I hope you decide on the screens at least. You're giving an awful lot of bugs a source for food and breeding when they enter your home. Many are looking for moisture too.
Some great suggestions in the comments. I wrote them down. Thanks everyone.

Dr. Adam D. Perler's Ratings
I saw Dr Perler for foot pain after an injury. He tried non-surgical approaches first until we determined that surgery was needed. Great presence in the office and pre/post surgery. He took the time I needed and explained thoroughly what was going to happen. Very personal. I feel he is very up on new and advanced procedures and has a great drive to heal with minimal invasive procedures. I am confident that I chose the right doctor for my issue and would highly recommend him.

I feel I needed better instructions for after surgery. I was told to not take my boot off untill I went back to the dr and therefore slept in it for 3 nights until I could not take it any longer and then was told on my first post surgery visit I could have taken it off at night. These instructions should have been written out to me and not expect your driver to relay correct information

Dr. Perler goes the extra mile to assure his patients get top, personalized care. He listens, he follows through, and he knows his business inside and out. Plus, his staff is very caring and thorough. He did foot surgery on me despite my myriad of problems with anesthesia and he went out of his way to work with my therapist and anesthesiologist to minimize the problems. I never had a minute of pain afterwards.

Dr. Perler performed two reconstructive surgeries on my son, one on me and I have one yet to be done. In my lifetime I have suffered with debilitating foot, ankle and leg pain (my son inherited the same deformity). I have been treated by at least a half dozen Podiatrist, none of whom could help me the way that Dr. Perler has. Dr. Perler is a true gentleman who knows how to communicate concepts to his patients very well, to enable and empower them to make informed decisions regarding treatment options. I have found him to be on the very cutting edge, offering the very best and newest technology as well as the tried and true established treatments. He takes as much time as necessary to ensure that his patient's questions are answered. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

One of the best Doctors I have ever been to. Very caring and wants to do what is in the patients best interest. I went through 4 surgeries with him and would go back if I ever needed to.

Where is the airline industry headed? To Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, for starters, as these regions experience massive growth and increased demand for air travel. What's more, customers everywhere expect airlines to build deeper relationships and engage them via digital platforms.
How do these trends drive innovation in the airline industry and beyond? Check out our latest white paper, What's in store for 2012?, for surprising insights.

airline industry
What's in store in 2012?
As we enter 2011 we are witnessing a stronger than expected recovery in the global airline industry with increased demand and more stable cost structures. After numerous profit upgrades, the world's airlines anticipated a profit of $US 15.1 billion in 2010.
However, the current recovery remains fragile with Europe lagging behind with expected losses of US $1.3 billion in 2010 and Asia and Latin America surging, indicating a very divergent global picture. Furthermore, net margins in the airline remain extremely low at 2.7 percent (and are expected to fall further to 1.5 percent in 2011) because airline recession strategies often centered on realigning to deliver value to customers through low prices, co-branding, and packages.
This is an industry that already contends with many factors out of its control such as huge capital requirements, high operating costs, government policies, a reliance on ground operating systems, strict aviation regulations, strong labor unions, pressure from environmental groups, not to mention volcanic ash clouds and of course the weather! On top of all of this, airlines will have to get used to being in a constant state of flux driven by evolving demographics, the influence of technology and changing customer demands.
Post-recession strategiesConsolidation has continued as airlines struggle to adapt to a post-recession era of lower profits and price competition. Following the merger between Delta Airlines and Northwest Airlines in 2008, United Airlines and Continental Airlines announced a merger in May 2010, and Southwest has announced its planned acquisition of AirTran to increase economies of scale and competitiveness. In 2011, expect to see more of the same. British Airways and Iberia have already agreed to a five billion pound merger in order to expand their international presence and airlines in the Asia Pacific.
Emerging marketsGlobal travel will continue to expand with the main growth coming from Asia and emerging markets. It's estimated that by 2020, Asia-Pacific will account for nearly 22 percent of arrivals, up from 18.3 percent now. Asia Pacific will also account for nearly 32 percent of all travel spending, up from 21 percent today.
A huge potential revenue stream will come from catering to travelers from emerging markets, particularly Brazil, India, Russia and China. However, a key challenge for many international airline brands will be how they cater to very different customer tastes.
Cross-selling opportunitiesWe continue to see an increase in the growing importance of ancillary revenues and earnings from non-core operations with airlines increasingly unbundling products previously included in the ticket price, such as seat assignment and passenger preferences for meals, entertainment, and internet access. Longer-term, we may even see greater variety of cabin classes catering to differing customer tastes and affordability.There is also a huge opportunity for the more "trusted" airline brands to further cross-sell services provided by third parties such as insurance, car hire and hotel rooms — providing a more seamless customer experience.
Technology adoptionAdoption of mobile technology for both entertainment and business needs will continue to transform the in-flight experience, for better or for worse. Brand owners need to have a clear strategy that aligns all aspects of the customer experience around their brand promise to determine what and how technology is implemented.
On the ground, the travel industry continues to be transformed by social media, with large numbers of consumers choosing to book accommodation, flights and activities directly online, based on the advice of fellow holidaymakers and travelers.
Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and online blogs have been used as advertising and promotion platforms, and some airlines have developed iPhone apps for online booking and check-in, targeting specific market segments and developing brand loyalty to the carrier. Ultimately, airlines will increase profitability in a sustained way by creating unique customer experiences that are meaningful and relevant, with a clear understanding of which touchpoints are genuine drivers of purchase.
Airlines that continually question their business models and adapt to constant changes in customer behavior will be those that prosper most in 2011 and beyond.
sector predictions
All designers start in the same place… experimenting with obvious solutions. Looking to the language of the market and category examples for inspiration is part and parcel of initial design exploration. Sometimes you simply have to go through the motions to discard the expected and clichéd.
A cliché is what it is....something expected, boring and lacking original thought. Sadly, however, some of these old chestnuts remain on the drafting table and make it all the way through the critique process to final execution – to the detriment of the client and the agency. Designers should always consider the unexpected, the big idea, the WOW factor. They have a responsibility to understand and respect the language of the client's market but also to seek out opportunities to send a vibrant, new message via a breakthrough idea that best represents the offering.
There are many examples of clichéd ideas out there, particularly in the international airline industry. I will refrain from attacking airline service; that I will leave in the capable hands of stand-up comedians. (For those of us lucky enough to turn left rather than right when entering the cabin, the "service" there is, frankly, over-promised and under-delivered.) However, I feel qualified and compelled to critique airlines' use of clichéd design.
On a recent trip to Asia a colleague pointed out how many airlines use birds as icons. Tragically, he was correct. Are designers so jaded (or lazy) that their "best" idea when developing an airline's identity is to use stylized birds or wings? Would we ever consider a piggy bank logo for a financial institution? You would be laughed out of the presentation, your reputation in tatters.
Why do so many airlines opt for this expected and obvious design? Granted, they would have a right to adopt an avian look if the country's national bird is easily recognizable and synonymous with the nation it represents. That is the case with American Airlines' use of the eagle as its logo, which was designed by the great Massion Vignelli in 1967 and still used today. However, I cannot think of any other such example. Sadly, some countries do not have a symbolic bird so the airlines use the designated national animal and simply place wings on the poor beast. This must be the second-laziest design crime. (Qantas airlines actually did the opposite, removing the wings from its original kangaroo, which was designed in 1968.)
In recent years, airlines have simplified and streamlined the wing graphic into an elegant sweeping ribbon or wave device. British Airways started the trend and the rest of the international pack soon followed. Nonetheless, the resulting shape – no matter how elegant – is still a clichéd bird in flight. How disappointing.

Found February 13, 2013 on NBA 24/7 365:
PLAYERS: Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder
TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder
Remember when Russell Westbrook lost his mind during that blowout Thunder victory over the Grizzlies? It happened about two weeks ago, on January 31st, after he was whistled for a seldom-called five second violation in the post. Suddenly, Westbrook became furious with teammate Thabo Sefolosha, who'd poorly timed his cut. Upon being summoned to the bench, he pitched an explosive fit before storming into the locker room in the middle of the third quarter. After the game, he was asked about the incident by TNT's Craig Sager, who refused to take "it was just a little miscommunication" for an answer. Already perturbed, Russell was in no mood to deal with Sager's followup questions. Those questions were asked anyway, which resulted in Sager being called "bruh." Here's the whole exchange: Fast forward to Tuesday night. In a 15-point loss to the Jazz, the Thunder have just been out-rebounded 38-26 and turned over 20 times. Curious as to what sort of issues may have been to blame for this unexpected outcome In search of cookie-cutter material for their crappy write ups, the media proceeds to ask their usual questions — "was something missing, or was it something they were doing?" "were you playing too fast?" "what will be the biggest thing you'll focus on for next game?" Russell kept it cool for a while — about a minute and 12 seconds, to be precise — but eventually, he decided he'd just about had enough. Utah's 1280 The Zone has the audio (via @Clintonite33), and I've got a transcript (I suggest the audio, as the tone of Westbrook's voice is kind of crucial to the humor): Reporter: "Russ, did you guys lose this game or did the Jazz win this game?" Russ: "What? …bro, what are you talking about, man?" Reporter: "…………" Russ: "I'm out man. Y'all niggas trippin'." I understand that these media people are simply doing their jobs. BUT, as demonstrated here, they tend to ask some pretty stupid stuff. I was critical of Westbrook's disrespectful treatment of Sager because I didn't feel that anything ridiculous has been asked, but in this instance I can't blame Russell for becoming fed up. He probably should've refrained from dropping the racial slur, but hey, that reporter should've refrained from asking such a dumb ******* question. I mean obviously, bro, the Jazz won and the Thunder lost. That's kind of how sports work — one team wins and one team loses.* *Yes, I understand what the reporter was getting at. No, that does not make it any less stupid a question.

L. Floyd Clarke* -- 1996 -- Outstanding Former Faculty
Zoology and Physiology Department
For 26 years, L. Floyd Clarke guided the Department of Zoology and Physiology as chair. He began his career at UW in 1935 and stayed until his retirement in 1976. During his tenure, he founded and was director of UW's Jackson Hole Biological Research Station and developed UW's pre-med program: In addition, he established the Ph.D. program in Zoology and Physiology. His excellent teaching and research skills led to his receiving UW's prestigious George Duke Humphrey Distinguished Faculty Award.
But it is for teaching that former students, many of them now doctors whom he advised in the pre-med program, remember Clarke best. "He stands out as the single best teacher, advisor, and wonderful person among the teachers I had at UW," writes Dr. Herbert R. Brettell.
After Clarke's death in l981, his friends and family established the L. Floyd Clarke Fund in Zoology and Physiology to sponsor speakers, awards, and, ultimately, a professorship.
*In loving memory.

All-in-1 @tweetitow
You can now update Posterous via @tweetitow. Posterous can let you autopost to different social network and blogging platforms — plurk, tumblr, wordpress, livejournal to name a few. Check posterou's website to get a complete list of websites they supported.
If you are already a registered @tweetitow user, you can start updating via posterous right away by texting any of the following to @tweetitow gateway:
/via posterous
By texting /via posterous to any of the @tweetitow gateway number, you switch your @tweetitow account to POSTEROUS MODE. It means all your updates will go through posterous. It will then be posterous who will 'autopost' your update to twitter, and other sites you set-up for 'autoposting.' To stop updating via posterous, simply text to the gateway the following:
/via twitter
After texting /via twitter, all the updates you will send to @tweetitow gateway will be directly posted to your twitter timeline.
If you do not want to switch to POSTEROUS MODE, you just want to select the updates you want to be posted on posterous, then simply prefix your message with letter 'p.' You can selectively update your posterous by sending your message in this format:
p message
p i love @tweetitow!
You will notice that if you switch to POSTEROUS MODE or prefix your message with 'p,' your twitter timeline will reflect 'from Posterous' instead of the usual 'from API.' Also, there is a link at the end of your tweet that will redirect you to that update's posterous page.
Now that I am able to update via Posterous. What should I do next? How can I set Posterous to autopost to my Plurk, facebook, tumblr, wordpress, and other social networking and blogging platforms?
If you already have a posterous account and you know how to use it, most likely you know what to do next.
But if you do not have a posterous account yet, simply click the posterous link attached at the end of your tweet update.
You will be redirected to a posterous page automatically created for you when you click the attached link. The posterous page will usually be named after your twitter username. Click the 'Claim this site' button on right side of the page if you want to manage and set-up this posterous site.
Clicking the 'Claim this site' button will lead you to the Sign-up page. There are 2 ways to sign up for a posterous account, you can sign-up via your facebook account, or via creating a posterous account.
Fill out the following fields with the appropriate information to sign up for an account. This is a step for you to take in claiming the automatically created posterous page.
TIP: You can use your twitter username for your posterous site so it is easy for you to remember our posterous website url.
After you are done with the 'Sign up for an account' page, you can now access the Manage page. In this page, click on 'Add a service' button or 'Autopost' to add social networking sites and blog sites you want your updates to be crossposted to.
Simply click on the website you wish to include in your 'autopost' list. Once a 'service' is added to 'autopost' list, it will be updated every time you send/post a message to posterous.
If you have questions, please post it to @tweetitow's getsatisfaction page.

So I'll be popping in and out here for a while. Trailer Trash Glam is just more project than I can handle right now. Maybe some day we'll bring it back, but for now, all those things that I find that I love? You'll find them here.
So here you go: a guy surfing in a suit. Enjoy.
As mentioned in my last post, one of my goals for the year is to take a portrait of Fat Toddler every week this year.
Well, here's the first. His grandpa (we call him Papa) taught FT to drink all the milk out of his cereal bowl. Before he eats the cereal. So that's fun.
goals, 2014 edition
Well, last year's goal list didn't fare so well. On the flip side: we're in our new place! Which pretty much trumps everything in my mind.
- Start running regularly again.
- Complete a 5-K.
- Read 50 books.
- Have a garden.
- Can jam.
- Start a flock of chickens.
- Throw two grown-up parties.
- Potty train Fat Toddler.
- Get away with hubby for a weekend.
- A portrait of my son, once a week, every week, in 2014. (inspired by)
wednesday wonderfulness, the occasional edition
I do still find things to share with you guys!
- how to make cold-brew coffee in two hours
- Love this brief interview with a stylist (also: HER SKIRT)
- this couple takes the first look to a whole new level: the day before.
- ohmygoodness. I love this photo shoot so much.
Big news, ridiculously late
So I was supposed to tell you this about two weeks ago, and then launch got delayed, and then....anyway. I've started a new blog with a friend over here. It's not the same content as this blog, exactly, but it will be taking all my energy for a while. So aim your clicky fingers that way, and don't hold your breath for updates here.

There are certain events and occasions that have always gone along with Limo Hire and limo packages across the board, though suffice to say it is only of relatively recently that families have started looking into the options available. The reason for this is of course the way in which limousine hire has always been associates with events and occasions of sophistication and understated elegance, certainly not the fun and frivolous organized chaos that usually comes along with the active family occasion. However, since the introduction of family-friendly packages and of course the stunning Hummer limo, there are practically no family occasions across the board where a limo cannot be brought in to add another dynamic in superb style. What's more, Limo Hire Prices have simply plummeted over recent years in light of increasing competition and demand for bigger and better services, therefore finding an exceptional and Cheap Limousine London is a possibility like never before.
Quality and value will of course vary considerably across the board, which is why it is always very much advisable to browse each and every London limo hire agency thoroughly before committing to any agreement. Those worthy of investing time, money and indeed the safety of the family to simply must demonstrate proven commitment to quality, safety and satisfaction across the board. Such is the advancement of the industry that second best really is no longer acceptable by an means and at any price, as the very best London has to offer can be enjoyed without having to hand over a small fortune for the privilege.

Shooting Luba is always a privilege for me, no matter how many sessions we do together. Four years as partners in love and art has given us a special bonding and there is nothing we enjoy more than exploring new visual concepts and locations together. See the results for yourself as she moves into this setting like an Italian princess.
Our spring program does not end here. In a few days Luba and I head to Ibiza to see what the island has to offer.
Have a great summer.

It's strange, but you'd think that after spending years with low-grade baby fever, followed by a good year or so of baby-making desperation, and then another nine months of pregnancy, I'd be pretty anxious to meet my twin baby boys by now. The soft skin and sweet smell of my own babies, the tight grip of their little hands around my fingers, to snuggle them in my arms -- I've waited what feels like a lifetime for this!
And yet, here I am, just two weeks away from my due date, and I'm not ready. If you read my post from last week, you know my husband can't wait to finally meet his sons. Meanwhile I'm like, "Oh no, not just yet." What's wrong with me?
Just yesterday, my doctor told us that it looked like it might be awhile until our boys make their grand entrance. My husband slumped back in his seat, a dejected look on his face. Me? I breathed a huge sigh of relief. After the doctor left the room, my husband put his hands on my belly, trying to coax them out. "Come on, I'll give you each $100 if you come this week. What's so great about being in there anyway?" Meanwhile I was thinking, "Phew, now we can go out for our anniversary dinner. I can see Harry Potter in the theaters. I can finish all the work I have on my plate."
Let's be honest though: My relief probably had nothing to do with all of my big plans. Next week, I'll probably decide that I need a few extra days to get a pedicure, finish that book I'm reading, catch the season premiere of Breaking Bad. It's hard for me to believe, but I think that in spite of all the hoping and planning and processing that's gone into preparing for these babies, now that they're almost here, I'm just plain old scared. Even with months to get on board with all of this, I'm still going, "Holy shit! We're about to have two babies?! How are we going to to do this?"
I mean, logistically, we're all set. The nursery is organized, we've got all our baby gear and clothes and supplies, the hospital bag is packed, the birth plan is in place. What else is there to do? Thinking, thinking, thinking ... oh yeah ... Take a giant, life-changing, can't-turn-back-now leap into the great, big, unknown world of parenthood! This train is barreling down the tracks at an accelerated pace and there's no getting off the ride. Isn't it about time I got a freaking grip?
But right now, I'm enjoying the familiar, my world of the known. I want to savor these last days of status quo, especially now that I seem to know enough to appreciate them. Also (and I know some people will hate me for saying this), I'm not "over" being pregnant. As uncomfortable as I am, I'm still digging all of this, even more so in the last few days when the boys are doing more crazy acrobatics in there than ever. What's the rush to meet face-to-face when we're having so much fun together now?
Luckily, I have a lot of very honest Mom friends who've reassured me that I'm not crazy, and that's it's totally normal to feel scared and freaked out about impending motherhood. They also told me -- and really, I know this too -- that once my babies are born, it will suddenly all make sense, a lot of that anxiety will just fade away, and we'll figure it out. When I'm finally looking in their little faces, when I get to nuzzle my nose against their soft necks, when I see my husband snuggling his sons, I'm sure I'll wonder how life ever existed without them. For now though, is it okay to hope for just one more week or so of my same-old life?
Do you think you're ever totally ready to have a new baby?
Image via pasukaru76/Flickr
lol, I felt the same way with my first. perfectly normal
I can relate. Totally. You never feel ready, and then when it happens, you can't believe -- there's no visualizing it ahead of time, you're just amazed. You'll see. Anyway, no sense worrying about it: you'll meet them when you meet them, and it's going to be great.
My husband was deployed so I was hoping to push the birth as far as possible. He got home a week before she was born and I was at the Dr's appointment acting like I still had a month left.
I am in the same spot right now. My husband is overseas right now so we are hoping he holds out until at least five days before his due date. I am miserable right now but I am loving the routine of the doctors appts and all the people I have gotten to know with all this :P
Totally normal. Everyone kept asking me towards the end of our pregnancy if we were "ready" I would always reply with "we have everything ready but I dont know if Im READY!!" I dont know if that makes any sense but just enjoy the time you have left without them because once they are here, that is forever, so enjoy the life you have now as best you can! Good luck!!!!!!
I have never had that issue, i can't wait to meet my baby.... but then again i dont have twins.. thats double trouble which is TOTALLY understandable :)
I did the same thing with my son! People kept saying "I bet you are ready to get him out of there." To which I would promptly say, "No! It's so much easier to take care of him while he is IN THERE!" I was eccstatic about having a baby, but I wanted to keep him in utero as long as possible- just as I'm doing with the one that's growing in there now :-).


text: i ordered checks from BoA. $8 for the checks and $7 for shipping. i know for a fact that you can pretty much send a pound of hippy lettuce cheaper than that. it reminds me of those stupid informercials where the contraption is just three easy payments of $9.99 and shipping and handling are $12. and what the hell is "handling" anyway? maybe there's some woman fondly my book of 50 checks nodding an approbation.

Nancy Warner
President and Founder of The Last Resort
Nancy has been a Veterinary Technician and Animal Rescuer for 19 yr. She has vast experience with all animals and has rescued and rehabilitated many homeless, orphaned and injured animals over the years. She is an expert in animal care, behavior, and nutrition. From a young age, it was clear that she had a divine connection with all animals. She has been saving them and protecting them since she was a child.
She realized very early in life that she was given a gift, although to some it would seem a burden, she has embraced her gifts and talents and employed them for the sake of all creatures that have crossed her path. Combined with her experience in veterinary medicine and wildlife rehabilitation she has saved hundreds of animals.
She has operated a rescue out of her home and also with the help of local foster homes and barns for over decade. She has dedicated all of her time, love and money to the welfare and well being of animals and has the skills and experience necessary to ensure all the animals in our charge get the care and rehabilitation they so desperately need and deserve.
Samantha Grieves
Vice President and Co-Founder of The Last Resort
There are many people who love animals, but few are born with such a love for them as Samantha. She has been an animal lover and advocate since she was old enough to have a voice. She has helped many animals and been a voice for all that she encounters. It has been her lifelong dream to rescue animals. A year ago she never imagined that she would be the vice president of her own rescue organization.
Samantha is a very special person who cared enough to rescue a special needs dog "Mr. Magoo" who suffers from the many complications of a head trauma , along with her 2 other dogs (both rescues), Abbie who is a lab/pit mix and Nalu (above), a husky mix. In wanting to help save more animals she signed up as a foster for the rescue but ended up falling in love with her new foster child and has permanently adopted him.
It was instantly very clear that combining our strengths and skills, working together we could do so much more good for so many more animals. She has been instrumental in the coordination and founding of The Last Resort and is dedicated to carrying out her life's mission by saving the lives of animals.

Synopses & Reviews

Gordon Comstock is a poor young man who works in a grubby London bookstore and spends his evenings shivering in a rented room, trying to write.

About the Author
GEORGE ORWELL (1903-1950) was born in India and served with the Imperial Police in Burma before joining the Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War. Orwell was the author of six novels as well as numerous essays and nonfiction works.

Green Beans with Creamy Garlic DressingFrom: EatingWell
Inspired by a Lebanese pasta dish, we toss steamed green beans with garlicky yogurt for an easy side dish. Try it with roast lamb.
Servings: 4 servings, about 3/4 cup each
Prep: 25 mins
Total: 25 mins
1 pound green beans, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces
1 small clove garlic, minced, or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, (optional)
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1. Place a medium bowl of ice water near the stove. Bring an inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add green beans, cover and cook until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the beans to the ice water to cool. Remove from the ice water with a slotted spoon and let drain on a kitchen towel; blot dry with another towel.
2. If using fresh garlic, mash with salt using the back of a spoon until a paste forms. Whisk the garlic paste (or garlic powder and salt) with yogurt, oil, parsley (if using) and pepper in a large bowl. Add the green beans and toss to coat. Serve cold.

CHICAGO, Ill. (WTAQ) - Health officials say none of the Jimmy John's restaurants in Wisconsin have been affected by a salmonella outbreak reported in neighboring Illinois.
The sandwich chain said it was pulling alfalfa sprouts from some of its franchised outlets, after Illinois health officials confirmed that 44 people came down with salmonella poisoning.
One of those people was a Wisconsinite who ate at a Jimmy John's in Chicago – but a public health official in Illinois did not know where the Wisconsin resident lives.
Officials say they're testing produce from the Illinois Jimmy John's – and alfalfa suppliers are being checked out.
Shane Keddell, who manages a Jimmy John's in Appleton, says his sprouts come from a greenhouse – and he's had no problems with them.
Problems were first reported in Winnebago County Illinois, right across the border from Beloit. But that county was taken off the list after officials could not confirm any salmonella cases there. But one other adjoining county to the state – McHenry – remains on the list.

Opening of a criminal case against Kuchma seems less of anomaly and more a part of a pattern by Yanukovych to restore the trust of his people.

Or, Mr. Karatnycky, is the Kuchma case part of an clash of Ukraine's oligarchy? Akhmetov vs. Pinchuk?
Protection is only removed when you need to be eliminated. The question should not be whether Ukraine is becoming more transparent, but rather, why does the Party of Regions deem Kuchma to be expendable or even a threat?
But Ukrainian lawyers unanimously state that the charges against Kuchma are impossible to substantiate, mainly because the prosecutors are going to ground their evidence on Melnychenko's tapes, made by illegitimate means.
Ukrainian legislation states that evidence collected by illegitimate means cannot be considered as evidence in court proceedings. To introduce the Melnychenko tapes into court as legal evidence in the case, they need to follow additional formal and legal procedures.
The prosecutors, who in fact belong to Yanukovych's team, will not take this step. So we will most likely see another example of traditional abuse of and selective use of justice.
The government team has opened these criminal proceedings in response to accusations from the West that the judicial system in Ukraine only prosecutes the opposition.
Currently several influential members of the opposition are in jail. Kuchma was chosen as a token non-opposition victim because he both does not belong to the opposition or the current governmental hierarchy; in other words, he is not "one of theirs." Therefore, it is possible to easily prosecute him.
The Ukrainian government treats journalists as their servants and does not stop just at brutal treatment. The infractions include applying censorship, even at the largest television channels.
On the one hand, Yanukovych shows his Western critics that he prosecutes not only members of the opposition while, on the other hand, he does not offend representatives of the ruling elites and political authorities.

Well here he goes. Dillusional and flat out naive (stupid is too harsh).
What some do to kiss the butts of those in power. This was the head of freedom house, now a lobbyist and consultant. Money makes us do things we don't want to.
Kuchma and chernovestky are being attacked not for justice but for political reasons and economic ones, ie bribes and shakedowns. This is just to painfully stupid to read.
This guy first embraced Yushchenko and founded the Orange Circle, what a joke...
Exactly, naive is the best way to describe it. This is all too soon t tell. Ukraine has too dirty a history of rent-seeking, political protection, and prosecution of ex-politicians in order to exert muscle.
It happens again and its now justice? It's happening to Tymoschenko and all of the ex-government who opposed Yanukovych at the same time and those trials are clear to understand. Why is Yushenko still free? His bloc struct a deal with the POR.
Kuchma and Pinchuk are Dnipropetrovsk cronies, Yanukovych is Donbass mob. Figure it out.
Exactly, people like Karatnycky, if they were not being paid by the administration, should be saying Mr. President show us you are sincere and call on prosecutors to open a case into the 2004 election fraud you seem to have committed and make such investigation transparent and beyond question, then we will begin to think you may be legitimate.
Mr. K- please stop this and salvage whatever reputation you have left.
Criminal occupation
Interesting films, of course, like all documentaries, zakazushka is a lot of true facts, there are also many unconfirmed information, there is even frank delirium. In general, look at the spirit, rather zahvatyvayuschiy. Tip of the Donetsk mafia :):):):).
Nobody trusts Yanukovych. This article is a paid political announcement. Shameful.
Yeah, Yanukovych is a really nice guy. Convice us. Come on Mr Karatnycky, we can all see with our own eyes that justice is selective. Who are you trying to kid, and more importantly, how much are they paying you to spout such rubbish? The worse crime of all is having a good brain, as you evidently have, and using it to propagate a criminorcacy.
You have sold your soul to the Devil Adrian. Shame on you!
Sir, are you reporting from another planet?
Karatnycky = Duranty?
Adrian be brave and quit your shill assignment by leaving with the declaration that this is by far the most
corrupt and repressive government in Europe and its making a mockery of democracy just by claiming to
be one.
Your father is turning over in his grave! Get a grip on yourself!
Remember Fight FOR Ukraine not Against!
Mr Karatnycky, the rogue!is trying to fool us again! Shame on you!
Karatnycky once again exposes the brainlessness of the lobby that calls itself the "Ukrainian" diaspora in US/Canada. Karatnycky is the first member of the diaspora to make any sense on Ukrainian policy and to put forward ideas that can actually be taken seriously by the foreign policy community.
so do you mean that the foreign policy community prefers to deal with chimeras? 'there are powerful rent-seeking interest groups that continue to use their presence in and influence over the government to advance their narrow interests. Their avarice needs to be controlled.' assume, the president is the pinnacle of those enigmatic 'interest groups' (suprise suprise, Mr.Karatnytsky!), who is the one to lead the need for 'the avarice to be controlled'? or is it the foreign policy community, by a chance? Rather, there are unmistakable signs of modest political twisting in this article.
Make sense of Ukrainian policy? He's making a fool of himself!
What a joke!
The prosecution of Kuchma means Yanu is opening up towards less political persecution?
A person has to be icompletely stupid to say something like that.
We have seen this illegal govt prosecute most of the leaders of BYuT, while ignoring the massive sins of PoR and OU.
We don't know why Kuchma is being prosecuted, but it is either some sort of silly ploy or Yanu thinks Kuchma is a threat to him.
Comments like Karatnycky make one wonder how much he got paid to write this.
We've seen the firing of the editor of the KP (Bonner) over an article that really wasn't that serious.
Now we read this piece of rubbish.
Does this mean the KP no longer supports freedom of the press?
Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine's richest man, has bought the UK's most expensive flat in London for £136.6m, the FT has learnt.
Don't you think that's another unmistakable sign of liberalization?
the writer's perceived thaw in ukraine can only be dismissed as propaganda paid for by the yanukovych/ donbas / russia mafia structure as the analysis is absurd relative to the police state dictatorship that is really forming in ukraine regrettably
pretty clear why yanukovych is going after kuchma - these people are corrupt but not stupid:
1)donbas clan beating on dnipropetrovsk clan - tymoshenko, kuchma, etc.
2)payback because kuchma took away last presidency in 2004 from yanukovych
3)most important, kuchma is paradoxically the only realistic presidential alternative who may conceivably generate enough support throughout ukraine from east to west to replace yanukovych as president - the remainder of the opposition is fragmented... yanukovych and his team know this and are out to eliminate any threat ...
Adrian, really, you have no shame - you are a mere apologist for Yanustalin and his cronies.
Example, with respect to the First National TV Channel -
"Now the channel is offering prime time news programs hosted by one of Ukraine's most respected journalists, Savik Shuster, who consistently gives equal time to civil society and opposition leaders."
First - when Yefremov and Boogoslonskaya and Miroshnichenko and others from the Party of Thugs get up and blabber and blather their nonsense, the audience meters go to - 0% -. Does Yanustalin care? Does the Party of Thugs care? NO.
It's a very convenient illusion. Despite the zero percent audience support, they continue to "play the piano" in Parliament and do whatever they want.
Second, and more importantly - oh, yes, opposition members and civil society leaders do appear on the Savik Shuster show.
Big whoop - after 4 hours of more blathering and blabbering, the opposition still has no meaningful mechanisms for input in Parliament.
The Party of Thugs "plays the piano" and the bulldozing of Ukraine continues.
In other words, where it counts - in Parliament - there is nothing.
Akhmetov, as a member of Parliament, doesn't even show up. Yanuk's son, and Pshonka's son - well, they show up once in a while.
In other words, the Party of Thugs is putting on a big illusion.
And you have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
You are a sucker for homo sovieticus propaganda and illusion.
Hey, Adrian, here's a "thaw" for you - NOT.
Femen girls were protesting, so the police broke the clavicle (shoulder bone) of one of the girls:
And, of course, the police deny that any bones were broken.
In fact, using Yanusovspeak, the police announced that the girls were "behaving with disrespect to societal order."
And "in keeping with current legislation, these actions qualify as mere 'hooliganism.'"
They then accused the girls of attacking the police.
Anyone can look at the pictures and judge for themselves.
Sovspeak lives!
Adrian, you really should be ashamed of yourself for grasping at straws to make excuses for Yanuhitler and his Party of Sovspeak Thugs.
Kyiv Post editor reinstated....strike over...effort to censor beaten back amid offers of help in resolving issue from Presidential Administration... That does not look to me like a police state. At least today, we can remove the question mark from the article: There are signs of A THAW IN UKRAINE
Just more of the say one thing and do another smoke screen by Yanukovych.

Conclusion Mark Myers Xerox Corporation Dr. Myers began his closing observations by saying that, as a member of the STEP Board and an official of a large corporation, he had not approached the symposium with a strong point of view. However, he said the day contained "a very interesting and engaging set of conversations." He inferred from SBIR's strong support in both the Congress and the admin- istration that the program "plays well both inside and outside the Beltway." This broad-based support is earned, given SBIR's history of supporting not only the growth of jobs and the overall economy, but also the missions of participating agencies. Agency missions have been furthered by specific results of the program's R&D activities. He praised the SBIR's focus on technical merit and its consequent incorporation of competition and peer review, which he called "time-proven approaches to assure quality." The Need for More Research and Evaluation Nevertheless, the SBIR program's very significance underscores the need for more research on how it is working and how it should work. Dr. Myers looked to the dialogue that would follow from the symposium for amplification of these issues, and he emphasized the commitment of those in attendance, sug- gesting that it would not be hard to find less committed constituencies for pro- grams that enjoy a similar level of funding. Pointing out that the definition of "commercialization" has been ambiguous within the context of SBIR, he pointed 111

2 THE SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION AND RESEARCH PROGRAM to the need for clarification in view of the fact that it "seems to be a place where people stumble." Similarly, the participating agencies' autonomy in managing their versions of the SBIR program means that "on a de facto basis, there are 'multiple programs"' pursuing a variety of goals. Although the argument for diversity is strong, the program will be considered as a whole in the upcoming reauthorization and it must therefore make sense as a whole. The Need for Fast Decision-Making From the point of view of the commercial sector, Dr. Myers advised the audience, "everything you can do to speed up anything, the better off you are going to be." He acknowledged that the issue of timing could be a particularly problematic one in some areas of energy and in regulated industries such as health care. But he recalled that Hewlett-Packard, a $37 billion company, derives over 60 percent of its revenues from products that have been in the marketplace for only 18 months. Pointing out that the speed of product introduction is a basis of competition, he said speed defines what makes a technology "commercial," at least in the information technology sector. The Need for Small Business Capital Stressing the need for variety in funding sources for small business, Dr. Myers noted the SBIR program's role as an "alternative" funding source. He observed that SBIR funding is "patient" in that it does not have to be renewed annually, which has the value of enabling a sustained approach, at least for indi- vidual awarders. As for the level of SBIR resources, he recommended turning from the matter of what percentage of federal R&D funding the program should receive to the question: "Can the magnitude of $1.2 billion meaningfully grow to $2 billion?" Such an increase would raise further issues regarding management, assessment, and validation processes. The perception on the participating agencies' part that SBIR funding is a tax on their R&D budgets and competes with the interests arising directly from their missions will have to be addressed in any discussion of increasing the program's resources, or even of simply extending them through reauthorization. Another question that requires attention is the accountability of SBIR companies, Dr. Myers said. In particular, he recommended consideration be given to limiting awards to firms that had won previously but failed to commercialize. Speaking on behalf of the STEP, Dr. Myers placed the SBIR program firmly within the broad area of government-industry partnership projects that the Board is engaged in evaluating. He expressed the Board's appreciation to the attendees for their contributions to the day's discussion.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – A firearms company based in Ohio will be expanding manufacturing operations to the Myrtle Beach area, bringing an estimated $6.7 million and 120 high-skilled jobs to the area, it was announced Wednesday.
Ithaca Gun Company is constructing a new 20,000 square-foot facility at Horry County's Spring Business Park near Aynor, and will hire machine operators, gunsmiths, engineers and assemblers, the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corp. stated in a news release. These jobs will earn wages higher than the average wage in Horry County.
"We are delighted to be a part of the growing firearms manufacturing industry in the Myrtle Beach area, and we extend our thanks to all the parties that helped us with this decision," stated Mike Farrell, Ithaca Gun Company COO. "We look forward to being under production in 2014 and being a part of the Horry County and South Carolina community."
The new facility will focus on the rollout of a new over-and-under shotgun, their historic single-barrel trap shotgun, and a complete barrel line. The company chose the Myrtle Beach area for several reasons, include the quality of the labor force in the regional, the proximity to technically college, South Carolina's pro-Second Amendment culture, and the quality of life in the Myrtle Beach area.
"Today is yet another great day for economic development in Horry County, and I am proud to be a part of the team that helped recruit this great American company to our community," said Horry County Council Chairman Mark Lazarus. "I am anxiously looking forward to seeing them build their legacy shotguns right here on the Grand Strand!"
Horry County councilman Al Allen confirmed that Ithaca plans to eventually bring their glass recycling operations to Horry County as well.
Ithaca is the second firearms manufacturer to announce a move to Horry County this year. In June, the MBREDC announced that PTR Industries would also be moving the Cool Springs Business Park, bringing an estimated 140 jobs to the region.

Not everyone wants to dump Kris Humphries -- in fact, the Nets just agreed to take him back this season ... this according to multiple reports.
The one-year contract is reportedly worth $8 million.
Kris became an unrestricted free agent after last season -- also with the Nets -- before marrying Kim Kardashian ... a gravy train that quickly screeched to a halt.
The Nets are set to face off against the Knicks tomorrow night -- and NBA sources tell ESPN, Kris is expected to play.
another reason why TMZ should leave the sports to people that know what they are talking about. Kris is 26 and has been a PROFESSIONAL basketball player since he was 19. HE WAS A LOTTERY PICK AND HAS BEEN EARNING MILLIONS SINCE AGE 19!!! HE WILL CONTINUE TO EARN MILLIONS LONG AFTER ANYONE REMEMBERS THAT PORN STAR!!
Did anyone else hear Kourtney's unsavory remark on Kendal's Sweet 16 show? To quote her"I'm going to stick my hand up somebody's butt if", something or other.What a lady.(not).Why does she talk that way? So unattractive in a female and a terrible example for her younger sisters.A well bred person would not use such rhetoric.So uncouth! Such an embarrassment to her family.
...WONDERFUL...I bet KKKmom is jealous...she isn't in on the 10% ! HAHAHAH...WOOHOO
You know this is the best Christmas he will ever have. A new team and no nagging hag to haunt him anymore. Get those chips while you can Kris.
Good for you Kris!! You've worked hard and it took a lot of discipline to get to the pros. I'm a die-hard Lakers fan but will be following Kris and the Nets.
And you're rid of that big a$$ fake bi*yatch.....oops got sidetracked. gooooooo Kris!!!!
Nice title for your lil stupid article have respect hes at least doing something not like the sloppy ex of his
Kris H looks realy good in this pic.
Kim is a dman fool for letting him get away.
she well never get even achance with as good as guy.
I wonder if in the eveil jaded heartless souls the trashines know that kim realy screwed up losing him and thats why they are so bitter overit and try to destroy kris h.They tried every trick int he book includeding calling him gay. They thought if they could only de-fame them they could save kim fame. Kris h ahs real talent. he wa sallreday know befor thier stupied show and in the long run we well hear his name long after kims 15 minutes are up she well not even be a foot note.Kris Jenner well try to explote every detail of the younger jenner girls lives and screw them up as bad as she id kim.Kims fatheris known for lettign go nicloe browns killer and we all wondered back then what kind of man would lie in court and let a killer go free. Kim is his eveil spawn . Kris Jenner is on a one woman campine to ruin the vaules of Tweens. all while making abuck for herself.She needs to take her foul mouth greedy famewhoreing old ass off Twitter.These whoreshines have all scamed all of us and made enough money why cant they just go away. we dont wanto see the seet 16 hos party or any more of your ani family vaules. kris jenner is hopeing kyle can save thier im image but it cant be done the who lot of them is just way over exposed with the only talent promitng porn.TMz is piss lickers for reporting this crap everyday.Kim her fatt ass her greddy whoreing BRAND IS OVER. Her gravey train is over the american public has had more than enough of her if we eveer saw herin the press again it would be too soon. Go awy all whorehines.
Is it Harvey that sucks the Krapdashians butts or that Mike guy?...he is always sticking up for
Kim on the TMZ show....it has to be money TMZ makes off of writing good things about the trash family...the Enquirer has Oprah saying the Kardashians are full of garbage on the cover...lol...
Kris Dumbpedherpes is back yayyyyyyyyy :)
I really like Kris, he seems like such a nice guy and I love how he called her out on her stupid show. "In 5 years no one is even gonna care about you." This family is such a low-class bunch of scammers. Kim was Brandy's secretary before she got her claws in her poor brother and Paris's groupie. Get over yourself, anyone with that much money can get plastic surgery and look like u. She's pretty but the before and after pictures don't lie...
Have a great season Kris!!!! Thank God you got rid of that used toilet.
What gravy train? If you mean 10 day old all fatty gravy then you must mean Kimmie. So some loser at Tmz has a boy crush on her which is why we get KKK posts all week and insults towards a nice moral man like KH?
He was a basketball player long before Kim and they don't give raises based on whom you were married. Considering some make 25 million, 8 mill is prolly standard.
The k family and supporters should be glad that Kris is a nice man who hasn't bad mouthed his ex or family after all they have done to him which did show them up to be the malicious trash they and their followers are.
BTW no one takes the likes and dislikes seriously for the brainwashed teeny boppers or family members or paid trolls put out.
What TMZ and Kris Humphries has shown me is that good does triumph over evil and why should we care about tmz who hates moral people, Christians and christmas. They only support hos / p*rn stars/ mistresses/ wanna be p*rn stars: considering that the staff is mostly 20 somethings who live in LA and insult people to get a response they are further down than the enquirer used to be.
I do believe that they are on mama Jenner's speed dial as well. Here's a clue: become relevant and report on something other than the K's/ their flunkies and quit dissing Humphries.
Odd, isn't it, that only tmz and the stir were the only blogs to put a negative spin on Humphries re-signing with the Nets.
One I never heard of and that leaves TMZ with their beneficial bias toward the Ex.
Kris actually works for a living in incredibly competitive field. Kim had a sex tape and parlayed that into this disgusting monstrosity people watch for some reason.

Genre: Mystery/Suspense/Thriller, Mystery, Amateur Sleuth
The first Comfort Food mystery is a real treat! Well plotted, it'll keep you guessing right up to the final chapter. Trixie's involvement as an amateur sleuth is well motivated, and her witty sense of humor makes her instantly likable. Her dynamic relationship with the local sheriff makes the plot sizzle.
When Trixie Matkowski buys her aunt's upstate New York diner, she expects a new start in a quiet lakeside town. But when the local health inspector is poisoned in her diner, rumors start to circulate that she's a murderer. Trixie's once-busy diner suddenly has more staff than customers. Sheriff Ty Brisco soon realizes that Trixie isn't the culprit, but the suave ex-Texan isn't moving fast enough for Trixie. She begins her own sleuthing to find out who tampered with the health inspector's plate of the daily special before her diner goes bankrupt. (OBSIDIAN, Aug, 304 pp., $7.99)
