Inspired by the classic tradition of tooled leather Western saddles, this gorgeous cuff gives the illusion of multiple bracelets. Crafted of sterling silver in several striking designs, bracelet features two rope bands, two bands of ribbed and polished sterling silver beads and an eye-catching scroll design in the middle. Classic and versatile, bracelet measures 5-3/4" inside diameter x 1-1/4" wide and fits an average-sized wrist. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
The classic tradition of tooled leather Western saddles enters a new frontier when interpreted in bold sterling silver and carved mother-of-pearl. A tribute to the individuality and spirit of the American woman, these designs exude both strength and beauty.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

No. A private residence is not acceptable, but we do fund events at a variety of venues, such as community centers, parks, stores, cafes, businesses, schools, and libraries.
We typically review applications within four weeks of receiving them. You will receive an e-mail indicating that your application has been approved, declined, or is still pending—usually because we need more information. If you have not heard from us one month after submitting your application, please call to check on the status of your application.
Our goal is to have the organizations we work with match our portion of the writer's fee. However, we assess the needs and the capabilities of each organization and evaluate applications accordingly.
No. We do not accept in-kind contributions as matching fees. However, you can provide in-kind contributions in addition to a cash match. Also, writers may use the cash match for expenses such as travel and lodging if they choose.
If your grant has been approved, you will receive the check for the writer approximately three to six days before the event. As the sponsoring organization, you are responsible for giving the check to the writer.
Please notify us as soon as possible. We will stop the check and issue a new check, which may take a week or two to process. Please make sure to provide us with a reliable address (some project directors prefer to give us their home addresses). If the original check arrives after the new check is issued, please return it to the appropriate Poets & Writers office.
Posters, flyers, postcards, press releases, and newspaper clippings are all acceptable. We accept printouts of e-mail messages, web pages, and social media posts as well, but please keep in mind that online publicity should meet the same textual and graphic standards as any other type of publicity.
Poets & Writers publishes a free online Literary Events Calendar. We encourage you to post your R&W-funded event, and all of your literary events!
Poets & Writers publishes a free online Literary Events Calendar. We encourage you to post your R&W-funded event, and all of your literary events!
If multiple writers have been funded as part of one large program, you will need to fill out a separate online report for each writer, but may upload publicity files to just one of the reports. The timeliness with which you return reports will be taken into consideration when we review future applications from your organization.
Keep in mind that a detailed report, with a good description of the event and its impact on your community, will help Poets & Writers to raise more funds for the R&W program. A few extra minutes devoted to your report may have a direct impact on the funds we will be able to distribute next year. Thanks for your help in this regard!

Which measures could you and your loved ones choose if somebody you care about experiences problems, a bad result, or even loss of life?

It has come to our attention that Thomas Frei has been informed that he
was tested A-positive regarding the use of EPO. As a consequence, the BMC Racing Team and its members have made the decision to withhold Thomas Frei from competition, in accordance with the BMC Racing Team's own policy. This should not be seen as pre-determination of guilt. The rider will now have to personally address the accusation.

Here is some food for thought...We should place the elderly in prisons. They will get a shower a day, video surveillance in case of problems, three meals a day, access to a library, computer, TV, gym, doctors on-site, free medication if needed.
Put criminals in nursing homes. They have cold meals, lights off at 7pm, two showers a week, live in a smaller room and pay rent at $4,000 a month!!! It's pretty sad that we treat prisoners better than the elderly.... copy and paste if you agree

NOAA completes agency-wide move to the cloud
Thursday - 1/5/2012, 9:51am EST
By Jolie Lee
Federal News Radio
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has moved its 25,000 employees, contractors and associates to Google Apps for Government's cloud-based email service.
NOAA employees also have access to the other Google applications, such as scheduling, collaborative document writing, creating web pages and synchronization with mobile devices, according to a Google blog post.
NOAA is the largest agency to date to complete its transition to cloud-based email, according to Google.
"We have a very highly distributed and mobile workforce in NOAA, literally scattered around the world in responding to disasters and other events. We want to build a collaborative capability as soon as possible," said NOAA CIO Joseph Klimavicz in a June announcement to move to the cloud.
Klimavicz added, "This fits very nicely in our push for more telework and being able to access our data anywhere, anytime around the world."
NOAA had started a pilot program with Google apps starting in 2009, and the program had grown to 500 people, Klimavicz said. Employee feedback was "very, very positive," he said.
Transitioning to the cloud took about six months. In June, NOAA announced the $11.5 million, three-year award to Earth Resources Technologies, Inc., based in Laurel, Md., to deliver the Google Apps for Government in partnership with Google, Unisys and Tempus Nova, according to an agency release.
"The cost to the taxpayer will be 50 percent less than an in-house solution," Klimavicz had said in a statement.

Heart Disease Health Center
Heart Valve Disease
|Heart disease drugs
|What they do
|Diuretics ("water pills")
|Remove extra fluid from the tissues and bloodstream; lessen the symptoms of heart failure
|Anti-arrhythmic medications
|Control the heart's rhythm
|Lessen the heart's work. Also encourages blood to flow in a forward direction, rather than backwards through a leaky valve.
|ACE inhibitors
|A type of vasodilator used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure.
|Beta blockers
|Treat high blood pressure and lessen the heart's work by helping the heart beat slower and less forcefully. Used to decrease palpitations in some patients
|Anticoagulants ("blood thinners")
|Prolong the clotting time of your blood, if you are at risk for developing blood clots on your heart valve.
Follow your doctor's orders when taking these heart disease drugs. Know the names of your medications, what they are for, and how often to take them. Keep a list in your wallet or purse with this information.
Surgery and other procedures. The diagnostic tests your heart doctor orders help to identify the location, type, and extent of heart valve disease. The results of these tests, the structure of the heart, and your age and lifestyle will help determine the best treatment for you.
Surgical options include heart valve repair or replacement. Valves can be repaired or replaced with traditional heart valve surgery or a minimally invasive heart valve surgery. Heart valves may also be repaired by other procedures such as percutaneous balloon valvotomy.
Living With Heart Valve Disease
When you have heart valve disease, it is important to protect yourself from future heart problems, even if your valve has been repaired or replaced with surgery. Here are some tips to stay healthy:
- Know the type and extent of your heart valve disease.
- Tell all your doctors and dentist you have valve disease.
- Call the doctor if you have symptoms of an infection.
- Take good care of teeth and gums.
- Take antibiotics before you undergo any procedure that may cause bleeding.
- Carry a wallet card that may be obtained from the American Heart Association with specific antibiotic guidelines.
- Take your medications. Drugs are used to control symptoms and help the heart pump blood more efficiently. Follow your doctor's instructions about how and when to take medications.
- See your heart doctor for regular visits, even if you have no symptoms. Appointments may be scheduled once a year or more often, if your doctor feels you need to be followed more closely.

Today's cameras have helpful automatic features, like face detection and scene recognition that make shooting more foolproof than ever. And they all have plenty of megapixels for detailed photos that stay sharp, even when you enlarge and print them. How did they fit so much into this tiny camera? Nikon has packed a lot of features and value into the compact Coolpix S6500. This 16-megapixel camera has an impressive optical zoom range of 12X, so you can get in tight on distant subjects. And the backlit CMOS sensor excels in low-light settings, so even when shooting conditions aren't bright, your photos' details will pop without looking grainy or washed out.

Wild Foods in Oregon: 5 Tips for Edible Foraging
About a month ago, I had the opportunity to hike at the base of Mt Hood, Oregon with a group of esteemed food bloggers and Dr. John Kallas, an expert in wild edibles. We dove headfirst into the details of what Mother Nature can provide when you know what to look for.
Do you know much about what you can eat from your local forest floor? Here's a look at our afternoon spent foraging, then feasting, on the delicious bounty of the forest.
Dr. John Kallas, author of Edible Wild Plants: Wild Foods from Dirt to Plate, led the excursion at the base of Mt. Hood, about an hour's drive from Portland, Oregon. He explained to the food blogger group I was a part of that although fall is not the ideal time for foraging (spring is when plants are tender and more delicious), we would still be able to explore the tasty options the forest has to offer. We were also accompanied by chefs from the nearby hotel, The Timberline Lodge, who were to cook with some of the foods we found during our time out in the woods.
• Visit Dr. Kallas: Wild Food Adventures
Dr. Kallas explained five basics any forager must abide by, in order to stay safe and satiated.
5 Tips for Edible Foraging
1. Never guess at the plants you are going to be eating. Always know exactly what plants you are putting into your system. This may sound rudimentary, but it is crucial for survival when eating plants beyond the scope of our produce window. Some edible plants grow side by side, one of which is perfectly delicious and harmless, the other the most deadly plant in North America. As a beginning forager, he recommends sourcing foods with an expert guide at first to understand the plants in your area.
2. Many edible plants, such as wild greens and fiddlehead ferns, can become more palatable and less bitter with cooking. In fact, these edibles can be viewed as a delicacy, with only a short window for finding them and cooking with them at home.
3. Wild edibles can bring new tastes to your palate and awaken many senses. We tried wild spicy ginger, Indian Paintbrush, fireweed, smooth yellow violet and my favorite, thimbleberries. Each plant was exceptional in its newness and subtle familiarity. As eaters, we connect the dots and try to relate unfamiliar flavors with those we hold dear—I couldn't help but fall for the thimbleberry, reminiscent of a raspberry but with more tropical, floral notes and a distinct acidity which made me pucker!
4. Never eat red baneberry, one of the most poisonous plants in North America. Red is nature's symbol for "Stop right there!" Good to know.
5. Learning about your local edible wild plants is about survival. As a kid, John had an interest in Native American culture and their attuned methods of living with respect to the land the inhabited. After years of travel and study, John came to recognize the world of plants at our fingertips, left to grow wild and uncultivated. Many of these are very flavorful and nutritious; they just aren't found in grocery stores. Armed with a little knowledge, the experience of working with a guide and a detailed book, you can feast in nature if you dare to open your eyes to new ingredients.

Do you have permission to forage? In the past, people nearly desimated the side of a mountain when they all went out and picked fiddlehead ferns, without permission of the landowner. What are the laws about this?
Very very interesting. Something I need to do more of. I had no idea Indian Paintbrush was edible.
Observe: the White Hipster is his natural environment.
@asmallcontempt -- Hilarious, your comment made me spit my water out!
@ccp mbd -- Public lands have laws specifying which activities are allowable and to what extent (e.g. no dogs allowed or no dogs off-leash is common and well-known at many places but then there are also designated off-leash parks/areas). Everyone should be familiar with which laws their parks and wilderness areas uphold as they are different for each locale and system (state park vs. county park, vs. city park, and even from park to park, ordinances vary). Some require permits for things as mundane as playing frisbee let alone going off-trail or foraging. And citations can end up in $100 fines.
We forage for mushrooms, and stick to a few easily recognisable varieties - cèpes (porcini), chanterelles, and pieds de mouton (hedgehog mushrooms).
I recently moved to England, and the people here are avid foragers! There are so many edible plants (common ones, as well) that you can gather a ton of food just on off the sides of country roads. One of my goals for the spring is to find a mushrooming guided walk. I will definitely be looking for a UK relevant wild foods book!
ccp mdb makes a good point, so does Slow Lorus.
You need to check the regulations for the specific area you want to forage. I wanted to pick spruce tips for jelly in a state park but the regulations only specified that berry picking for personal consumption is legal--no mention of other plant parts.
Foraging is great because we need to learn self-sufficiency - of course please look up which ones are endangered - it is both illegal and unwise to decimate these plants. I know of at least 2 plants where one is edible and one is not, and the 2 plant species look nearly identical.
I love the idea of finding wild asparagus but have a feeling I'll have to wait a long time or just be very lucky. If you want to know more about wild asparagus, what to look for where you might find it etc. check out: www.asparagus-lover.com/wild-asparagus.html
ps sorry that link in my post above isn't going to work. I hope this works ! http:www.asparagus-lover.com/wild-asparagus.html

Ramey, 27, comes to TGCC from Elkhorn Golf Club near Stockton, where he was assistant pro.
He is employed by Sierra Golf Management, which has contracted with the country club to manage golf operations, which include the pro, pro shop, cart rentals and driving range.
Last year, the same firm contracted to take care of course maintenance at TGCC.
Steve Quinn, a member of the TGCC board of directors, said the country club, founded in 1955, will continue to operate the bar, restaurant and membership services. Starting last year, the course has been opened for play by non-members who pay greens fees.
"This new arrangement is an important step in making Tracy Golf and Country Club financially strong," Quinn said. "With the course now back in shape (after Hetch Hetchy pipeline work was completed), we're looking forward to a healthy 2013."
Ramey, who started his first head-pro job Jan. 25, succeeds Sean McCarty.
A native of Ripon and a golfer since the age of 10, Ramey attended Cal State Stanislaus, where he was a member of the Warrior golf team. He earned a bachelor's degree in business in 2009.
He joined Sierra Golf Management at Elkhorn in 2011. In addition to operating golf operations at TGCC, the firm also manages seven courses from its base in Chowchilla.
This Saturday, Feb. 9, SMG is sponsoring a Welcome to Tracy tournament for more than 100 men and women golfers from TGCC and other clubs operated by the golf-management firm.

The Stanislaus Local Agency Formation Commission — an agency chartered to deal with land-use issues for Stanislaus County and its cities — is scheduled to talk about expansion of the 1,119-acre West Patterson Business Park.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, in the Modesto City Council chambers, 1010 10th St.
The expansion in west Patterson would encompass Arambel Business Park and KDN Retail Center, projects proposed for land west of Rogers Road, east of Interstate 5, south of Zacharias Road and north of Sperry Avenue. Most of the area is farmland.
Adding it to the city limits would expand Patterson's physical area by roughly 30 percent in four phases during 20 years or more.
The project manager for Arambel, Joe Hollowell, said on Tuesday, Feb. 19, that the developers of both projects are excited to have reached the final phase of approval to join West Patterson Business Park.
"This is really the continuation of one of the most successful business parks in the county," he said. "We expect the majority of the people in other parts of the county would be supportive of such a project."
The 948-acre Arambel park would focus on light industrial businesses, similar to those already in the West Patterson Business Park, including CVS and Kohl's distribution centers. The 104-acre KDN center would include retail uses .
LAFCo consists of two county supervisors selected by the full board of supervisors, two city council representatives selected by a majority of the mayors in the county and a public member selected by the other four members. None of the five commissioners is from Patterson.

So, you've heard of the Parade of Homes, but this weekend visit a select group of homes in Minnesota designed with all the thoughtfulness and beauty an architect can lend.
Now in its third year, the Homes By Architects Tour runs Saturday, Sept. 17 and Sunday, Sept. 18 from 10-5.
Want a sneak peak?
Carla Warner previewed Home #6 in Edina with architect Jean Rehkamp of Rehkamp Larson Architects about integrated appliances (streamlining the look of appliances into your kitchen cabinets).
And in case you missed it, a couple months ago, I visited with the owners of Home #11 in Grant and learned how a perfect kitchen is created for the Homes By Architects blog.
>> Read "For the Love of Appliances"
I was jealous of their setup, to say the least. It's a must see!
Since Warners' Stellian is featured in several of the homes (also #7 and #10), we're sponsoring the tour.
Buy tickets online through Friday or at the door at any house Saturday and Sunday.

"Nespresso Espresso Machines; Delivering the ultimate coffee experience…"
Nespresso began developing their own espresso machines in the 1970's, when it became clear that customers wanted to make their own espresso and specialty coffee at home. Their unique capsule machines take all of the guesswork out of making coffee. Just pop a capsule in the machine and brew an excellent espresso with rich, creamy coffee flavor. Each of these machines exclusively use Nespresso capsules, which must be purchased through Nespresso.

Ivan Santaromita sprinted to fifth place out a breakaway that stayed away to the finish Thursday and the time gained was enough to propel the BMC Racing Team rider into fifth overall at the Giro d'Italia.
Nine-Man Breakaway
After Lars Bak (Lotto Belisol Team) soloed away in the final kilometer of the 155 km race to win the stage, Santaromita crossed the line six seconds later with seven others from the break. When the peloton arrived 3:34 later, Santaromita had climbed from 40th into a spot just 49 seconds behind race leader Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha Team). "I felt good out there," Santaromita said. "At the meeting at the start, (BMC Racing Team sport directors) Fabio Baldato and Max Sciandri told us to try and get in the breakaway so we all tried. I was lucky enough to get in the right one." Santaromita was among seven riders who broke free 47 km into the stage. They were later joined by two more and their advantage quickly rose to seven minutes. Only the chasing efforts of Liquigas-Cannondale kept the gap from growing. When the group split on a Category 3 climb about 12 km from the finish, Santaromita was second over the summit. "I hoped to win the stage but Sandy Casar (third overall, 26 seconds behind) was fighting with me for the pink jersey so it was impossible to win," Santaromita said. "I'm happy and I want to try another time next week. Sunday it's near my home. I want to do my best for my family and friends."
Plenty of Options
Baldato said Santaromita's climb into the top five provides the perfect situation for team leaders Johann Tschopp (20th overall, 2:02 behind) and Marco Pinotti (24th, 2:09 behind) heading into the final nine stages of the three-week race. "Ivan is always a good rider and teammate and it's good for him and the team and for us to have the car be toward the front to help Marco and Johann," Baldato said. "It's also good for the team classification, which can be our goal, too. I saw a really motivated team today, with all of them attacking. It was really a great day. They did a good job."

Cinna: A Division of Ligne Roset
Maison & Objet 2011
Cinna is a division of Ligne Roset that only exists in France — but Cinna products are displayed and available from Ligne Roset stores outside of France. The differences between the lines is more apparent when viewed individually. Yesterday, I shared some of my favorites from the Ligne Roset booth from Maison & Objet — these images are all part of the Cinna collection…
The new line of products from Cinna will make it to US Ligne Roset stores mid-to-late summer.
• Oka modular bookshelves by Kazuko Okamoto — 2 basic modules (in a variety of attractive colors and finishes) can be combined for a unique custom shelving unit
• Entailles Modular Sofa by Philippe Nigro — a sofa that combines modular tables into the mix
• Janus convertible sofa sleeper by Pascal Mourgue
• Etagere de Coin (Corner Shelf) by Marie Dessuant — a unique statement piece for that unused corner (perfect for rooms with lots of vertical space!)
• Grillage indoor/outdoor chair by Francois Azambourg — folded from a single sheet of perforated steel
• Chantal all-glass lamp by Stephen Burks

The walls and floors of the Cinna booth were amazing — a houndstooth pattern was carved into strand board that was then painted with a white wash (allowing the texture to show through!). You can see it best on the wall in the first image!
The grillage chair looked much cooler from the side. :\
Does anyone know where/when these will be available? Tried calling Ligne Roset and they weren't familiar. Those lamps would be perfect for our office redo.
