They go with everything. . . . .
I have purchased several of these over the years. Everyone at the table gets a different patterned napkin with one of these napkin rings. They look great with every color napkin so far. We keep ours stored in a drawer. Exposed to air they do start to turn more golden over time (which you might like).
Distinctive. . . . .
Purchased 2 additional napkin rings to make a set of 6. These are substantial enough to
"make a statement."
Great value and so beautiful!. . . . .
We were guests at a friends house and I complimented her on her gorgeous artisan made napkin rings which look and feel like more expensive napkin rings. When she told me she got them here, I knew I'd have to nab a few sets ~ for myself and for special gifts. A great gift supporting a great fair trade business!

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota remains fairly homogenous compared to the nation as whole, but it's becoming far more ethnically diverse than it was historically.
That's the latest snap shot of population trends was delivered by State Demographer Susan Brower to a House committee Monday at the State Capitol.
"We're becoming more diverse and we're aging, very, very rapidly," Brower told lawmakers.
She said that nearly one in five people in the state are persons of color now, or 17 percent.
That's a category that includes persons who listed themselves in the last federal census as black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American Indian or belonging to multiple ethnic groups. That diversity is more pronounced in younger age brackets.
Minnesota's only half as diverse as the United States as a whole, which has 36 percent persons of color. But the 17 percent figure is significant, when one considers only two percent of the Minnesota's population was comprised of ethnic minorities in 1960.
"A quarter of our children in Minnesota, or 25 percent, are people of color now," Brower explained.
"Younger people, as a group, are more ethnically diverse than the Baby Boomers who are reaching retirement age. Our schools are seeing that diversity now, and it will be reflected in the workforce in the next five, 10, 15 and 20 years."
The origin of the state's immigrant population has also changed markedly in the past 50 years.
In 1960, at least 88 percent of Minnesota's immigrants told the Census Bureau they were born in Europe. By 2011, that figure was only 12 percent, ranking behind the portion of immigrants who came to Minnesota from Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Another interesting dynamic, 31 percent of babies born in 2011 were born to unmarried mothers, but only 16 percent of children in the state live in single-mother households.
"That is just part of this larger social trend that we're seeing, where marriage doesn't necessarily come before child bearing," Brower explained to lawmakers.
She said there is a wide financial disparity between two-parent households and single female-headed households. The median income of households with children under 18 ranges from $90,000 for some two-parent households to $25,000 for those headed by a single female.
As Baby Boomers retire in the next two decades, the share of the state population age 65 and older will expand rapidly. Her research staff projects 285,000 Minnesotans will join that 65-plus category during this decade, and 335,000 will go into that column during the 2020's.
"Those Baby Boomers are a huge cohort we have here in Minnesota, and many are just about to move over the 65 year old age mark."
That will affect state policy on healthcare and long-term care services and transportation, among other things.
Many of the aging will stay in Minnesota, too, based on another interesting feature of the state's demographics. Fully 69 percent of Minnesota's population is made up of people who were born here.
The fact that Susan Brower is now the demographer, instead Tom Gillaspy, the longtime demographer who retired in 2011, points to another demographic trend. Minnesota's workforce is aging, as well as the government work force.
"We're a small office of four people, but three of our people retired in the last two years," Brower said.
"These were long-term employees with 20-years of experience. We're very much a microcosm of what's going on in state government."
In fact, in Brower's division of state government, the Department of Administration, 42 percent of employees are ages 55 or older. If you factor in that 61 is the average age of retirement for state workers, the department is in for a lot of turnover.

The 2009 Solar Decathlon may have come to a close, but we wanted to shine a little more light on one of our favorite projects, Virginia Tech's LUMENHAUS. Ranked 4th in this year's Architecture category, the LUMENHAUS is named for its "power of light" attributes and architectural references to the BauHaus movement, and was particularly inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe's Farnsworth House. Like its historic reference, it is comprised of all glass walls, maximizing exposure to natural daylight. The house features an automated "Eclipse System" of highly insulated translucent panels that filters the light using independent sliding layers, creating an ever-changing pattern throughout the day.
As described in Virginia Tech's especially high-tech animated presentation, the LUMENHAUS manifests a "whole building design" construction approach comprised of five categories representing the team's top priorities for someone living in the home. The first category for SMART living demonstrates optimized home systems that automatically adjust to weather and can be monitored in real time by a weather station on the house itself. The house power consumption can be closely monitored on the central entertainment screen, showing how much energy is produced, where and how much is consumed, and how much is given back to the power grid at any given time.
The second category for RESPONSIVE Living indicates the home's ability to feed live updates of all the house systems and synchronize them to adapt and run most efficiently. The third category for GREEN Living is about "inviting the elements in" through lighting and venting, most notably with a rain catchment system designed to purify rainwater for potable use. Grey water from the shower is also is directed through a series of biofilter ponds adjacent to the house, which recycle water for nonpotable use. As for green heating, a geo-thermal heat pump radiates heat through the concrete floor and is prompted by the home's 'smart systems'.
The final two categories, for COMFORTABLE and PAVILION Living, combine high-tech and low-tech through intuitive design features that can be monitored and adjusted via Smartphone technology. The free-flowing floor plan, also a BauHaus feature, is designed to be flexible and focused around a central bathroom core, and the modular components of the house are easily scaled up, as multiple units can connect. But as a single unit, at just 800 square feet, the open plan and sliding walls provide spacious living with maximum flexibility.

Glass is the most carbon intensive material which can be used in building. Producing glass suitable for large panels requires running equipment 24 hours per day, 362 days per year – think of it! All of these so-called modern houses which are based on early 19th century concepts of modern are absurdist jokes, especially this one which is also laced with steel and aluminum panels. The prototype, Edith Farnsworth\\\'s house in the midwest by Mies van der Rohe was the worst joke of all – a purist modernist conceit in a cow pasture. Edith ended up suing Mies for the cost of the house because it was so uncomfortable to live in, and so expensive to keep up that she moved out shortly after moving in. She then sued Mies, her architect as well as her former lover, for the cost of the house. Until this country has at least rudimentary scientific education, our architecture will continue to consist of such BeeS taught by our tenured architectural faculty, most of whom have little real world experience or even a fundamental grasp of valid scientific research.

What i find fascinating about this house design, is that as long as you in a mostly sunny location, you can effectively plant the house anywhere, without the need to be near local services, electric, natural gas or water supplies. You could build this house in the middle of a field, or on an open hill where no-one else as ever thought of living.

House of the future currently built. Maybe in some time every house will be self-sufficient: with water from its own brook and nutrient vegetables from its garden.

Is anyone familiar with "Solar Ivy"? A few Pratt students designed a solar facade that incorporates solar and wind energy. It's crazy! I think the design was also featured at MoMa recently. Check it out: http://one-earth.com/city/us/ny/brooklyn/1463/smit-sustainably-minded-interactive-technology

Since I don't have the expensive tilt-shift lens and I don't have enough time to make my own lens for the miniature effect, I experimented on some stock photos I have via Photoshop CS4 instead. It's quite easy and it brings you the exact effect you want. Miniature effect has been a popular medium used in commercials lately. But anyway, to get an idea, some cool tilt-shift photography can be seen here.
Step 1: Choosing the Right Photo
Not all photos can give the right miniature effect. When choosing photos one must remember the following:
1) Choose a picture that was taken from a afar.
2) It is also advisable to choose an image not only that it was taken from afar but rather on an elevated level like you're on 4th or 5th floor of a building taking city streets down below. A good perspective is always a key point.
3) Most of the time, cars, buildings and trees are the best subjects although if you want to take pictures of people, just make sure that there's an element in the picture that would make them look like plastic toy models, for example a building or at least a few cars, trees any structure.
For this tutorial I chose one of my favorite miniature effect subject, trains. Take note that I chose a photo that was taken a floor higher than the subject.
just what i was looking for. much appreciated. thanks
Lovely description and some great affects. The bridge shot is pretty cool. I'm definitely going to get back to my old photos and give this a go. I've been wondering about how to achieve this effect, thanks very much Analog-chick
Beautiful! Very easy and re-handlable instructions
super cool!!! -would love to feature this on my site
you can read about it here:
Instead, it is always better to go to "Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation" and "Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves." This latter method creates adjustment layers which have exactly the same effect, but the advantage is they can be double-clicked in the Layers panel later and modified, without compounded loss to image quality, and they can be turned on and off any time.
The only reason for expressing my concern is that there isn't any disadvantage to the Adjustment Layer method, and it indoctrinates new Photoshop users into using professional best-practices.
by the way, is this near shaw?
With this it might make some of the pics really interesting. Thanks.
You're wanting to detach the camera from the photo, whereas I'm trying to burrow the camera into the photo. e.g., If the above photo were a model, I would be taking my photo in between the two trains, or at least looking THROUGH the railing.
I would easily agree that in BOTH cases, perspective is particularly important.
- The point of the blur is so that things too close or too far from the point of focus would blur out. For example, in the 4th image, the people on the side of the rail are rather in focus even though the intent was to focus on the street [bikeway? walkway?] below. you could always get the blur tool out and just blur them out a smidgen and it will add to the picture.
- The vertical fade of the blur is good on the 2nd image, but on the 3rd image, since it's a bit of a wide angle lens, you'll want to blur the left and right sides a bit, too. Perhaps in this case, instead of the reflected gradient, you'd probably use 2 or 3 radial gradients side to side. Or do it by hand. :)
A good rule of thumb when wanting to achieve this effect is look at how 'far' the focal point is, and make sure everything closer or farther gets blurred, with more blur the farther back/closer up it is.
Author, you hit the nail on the head about the saturation! I just over HDR'd [which led to some oversaturation] an image I applied this effect to, and it made the image though I didn't know why. Now I know! :)
(not a reference to "look at this amaaayyyyyzing crocodile")
Nice work!

We're very pleased to announce a major new stage at this year's Festival. The West Holts stage will replace the Jazz World stage (and occupy the same location). The stage will be headlined by Mos Def, George Clinton with Parliament / Funkadelic (pictured) and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
"We're going back to the real roots of Worthy Farm and its history with the name change for the stage," says Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis. "West Holts was a 'halt' originally; one of the two places where we had to open the level crossing gates across the old railway line to get the cattle through for milking. It was a fair walk up to the farm, just as it is now, and those cows took some driving!"
West Holts will feature the best groove-based music from around the world, as living legends share the bill with cutting-edge newcomers. Asked to sum up the sound of Glastonbury's newest stage the answer was: "Global future roots music."
Here is the full line:
- Mos Def (with full live band)
- Femi Kuti
- Breakestra with Chali 2na
- Mariachi El Bronx
- Tune-Yards
- Matthew Herbert Big Band

- Rodrigo y Gabriela
- Toots & the Maytals
- Quantic & His Combo Barbaro
- Staff Benda Bilili
- Dr John
- Tunng

Does civic trust plan for Cockermouth flag get your vote?
Last updated at 17:32, Tuesday, 20 November 2012
Cockermouth could soon have its own flag to fly as an emblem of the town.
If the flag receives official registration it could be flown on top of prominent buildings such as the town hall.
Cockermouth Civic Trust has been working on the ambitious plan with flag expert Philip Tibbetts, assistant to the chief vexillologist of the Flag Institute and an advisor to the Parliamentary Flags and Heraldry Committee.
The idea came from Mr Tibbetts, who has also helped to design civic flags for Penrith and Preston, when he was invited to view Cockermouth Castle.
He was invited to a civic trust meeting to explain his ideas.
He has incorporated into the design the civic trust's desire for it to reflect the confluence of the rivers Derwent and Cocker, the castle and a reference to famous sons of the town.
The design shows blue lines representing the converging rivers with a representation of the castle, a daffodil and star shape.
John Dent, secretary of Cockermouth Civic Trust, said: "The idea is that in the three partitions we have a castle which symbolises the history of Cockermouth, a daffodil which symbolises the town's artistic legacy – representing Wordsworth –- and the star shape which symbolises the scientific legacy, representing both the stars of astronomy for Fearon Fallows and the atomic furnace of the sun representing John Dalton.
"We think a flag would be unique to Cockermouth and would be an asset.
"Once registered it could possibly be flown on top of the town hall or the castle, subject to permission, and miniatures could be provided for visitors."
The design has been sent to the town council and local groups for their views.
The chief vexillologist would have to accept the design before the flag can be registered with the Flag Institute.

Have your say
Just like the modern day Cockermouth Civic Trust, the flag is pretentious and ill thought out.
I have nothing against the idea of a town flag in principle - it's just that this particular design is a bit rubbish. I spent a while pondering what significance of a razor blade has for the town, before eventually realising that it is in fact a representation of the Castle. Also, I initially thought that the flag had two stars - a fat one and a skinny one - later to be struck by the dawning realisation that the fat star is actually a daffodil. So, flag yes, razors and fat stars, no.

Here is what you will need.
1. Pledge Fabric Sweeper
2. A flat head screwdriver
3. Adhesive backed Velcro. I used 1 strip that is 5" long x .75" wide.
4. Scissors or an Xacto knife
Step 1: Opening the Fabric Sweeper
I still appreciate the tip, as it made me look for way to reuse the product. I have cats and I used to buy them often. Not anymore! ;-)
This idea worked great! Thanks so much! I haven't been able to find them in the store anymore.
I do think it is stupid that pledge didn't go the extra mile & promote it as reusable but I am glad so many of us figured out how to do this on our own.
People power!
"Pledge says the Sweeper is disposable, but we suggest reusing it. Just unsnap a roller, remove the collected hair, and snap the roller back in place. "
They give it a good review and say its a good buy, if you reuse it. Darn Pledge. Their pledge must be, "Clean your home, dirty the environment."
I agree about this product. It works great but, toss it? No. All you need to do to clean it out is place the crevice tool from the vacume between the rollers and vacume the pet hair out of the sweeper. I too, comtemplated taking the sweeper apart but his is much easier. Good luck
Does this get you one extra use out of the sweeper, 5, 10?
Great idea though - and you get to stick it to the mnft's for not making a greener product. Although, you have to admit, the disposable version is a sales dream - use once, toss, replace. Gets them a lot more $$$ than a reusable unit.
"we're working to make this a cleaner, healthier, better place... today, for the next generation and beyond"

|Publication Subsidies
|Monday, 11 May 2009 21:26
Publication Subsidies, limited support towards the publication of high quality archaeological research on topics that further the aims of WAC. Priority is given to publications that are most closely aligned with the WAC objectives and support the Codes of Ethics. WAC occasionally provides small subsidies, usually around $US 1000, in support of publications of volumes from regions or on subjects where archaeological publication is difficult or the subject under-represented. Usually these will be edited volumes of conference proceedings where the subject might have an impact beyond the regional audience. WAC also encourages publication of such materials in non-print media. In consideration of the subsidy, WAC asks that 50 free copies be provided for distribution in the Global Libraries Program, that an abstract of each paper be provided for translation and posting on WAC's web site, and that WAC's support of publication be acknowledged prominently within the volume.
Organizations or individuals requesting such a subsidy should provide a prospectus describing the importance of the materials, probable audiences, an outline of chapters or contributors, and a plan for distribution of the volume. All requests will be considered by the Executive (or an appointed sub-committee of the Executive), and their decision is final. WAC usually will respond within one month of receipt of the application. Please be aware that funds are limited and that requests will be dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis.

When Sharon Bulova moved to the Kings Park West community in the 1970s, Fairfax County was building schools at the rate of about one classroom per day to accommodate young families such as hers, along with police and fire stations and other county services.
"The county was struggling to keep up with burgeoning growth," she said.
Now, the Board of Supervisors chairwoman is leading a county that is struggling to maintain all of the buildings it constructed during that era.
"Now we're trying to make sure we're taking care of all those things we built so many years ago," Bulova said, kicking off the first meeting of the Capital Facilities and Debt Management Working Group, a joint Board of Supervisors-School Board effort.
School Board members have been asking the county about possibly increasing the debt capacity for schools. Fairfax County Public Schools has been experiencing steady growth in recent years, creating a space crunch while school officials also are trying to fund building renovations at older schools.
However, Bulova notes, the county has limited debt capacity and also has its own needs to accommodate population growth and replace or renovate aging facilities.
"We can put our list of needs next to our available money, and they don't match," said Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock), one of the working group members.
Starting with its next meeting in June, the working group will be taking an in-depth look at the county and school facility needs, the debt capacity and other related issues.
Several members of the group expressed interest in discussing opportunities for increased collaboration and sharing of facilities to meet county and school needs.
As an example, Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee) cited a recent effort that allowed the Rose Hill Library to accommodate a school program.
McKay said he would like to hear ideas from school and county staff now about possible cooperation on projects already planned to go to construction in the near future.
He also said the group should look at possible legal impediments to sharing spaces, something that School Board member and fellow working group member Sandy Evans said thwarted a recent attempt at collaboration.
The working group plans to conduct five meetings between June and December and might continue its work into 2013.

This isn't so much scientific as it is philosophical (and morbid), but this is probably a better forum for this discussion
How do you all feel about death?
The goal is to not let it happen to soon. Don't make it easy for the grim reaper.
Meh...death is inevitable to I don't worry about it. One way or another I'll have my answers when I close my eyes the last time.
"Frank's Redhot - I Put That **** On Everything!" ~ Ethel
Considering we have no clue of when it will happen or what lies beyond, I would say apprehensive.
"Well you see I have treated many old people, and it is quite interesting to watch what the unconscious is doing with the fact that it is apparently threatened with the complete end, it disregards it. Life behaves as if it were going on, and so I think it is better for old people to live on, to look forward to the next day, as if we had to spend centuries, and then he lives properly, but when he is afraid, when he doesn't look forward, when he looks back, it petrifies him, he gets stiff, and he dies before his time, but when he is living on, looking forward to the great adventure that is ahead, then he lives, and that is about what the unconscious is intending to do, because it's quite obvious that were all going to die, and this is the sad finale of everything, but, nevertheless, there is something in us that doesn't believe it."
Im all good, cant wait to see what happens next.................
I received bad news today that I'm going to die. Don't worry about me though, because so are you.
Hopefully science will perfect DNA copying, body cloning and brain/consciousness transplantation before my time comes...will it be covered under the ACA?

We like these spicy cookies with a glass of milk..but some people enjoy them with a frosty beer.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Cookies
SparX Spicy Cookies
Put Some SparX in Your Life
CAPSULE REPORT: We couldn't stop eating these spicy cookies. What a great idea! They're bite-size and wonderful with milk or ice cream.
Those who love a wee bit of heat with their sweet need look no farther than SparX Spicy Cookies. When we first discovered this line of spicy bite-size cookies (1-1/2" diameter), we couldn't pull ourselves away. If you're one part cookie-holic and one part hot and spicy fan, these cookies are for you.
The inspiration for SparX came when company owner Richard Saslaw—who's been baking since the age of 11—was watching the Food Network and heard chef Bobby Flay refer to the "raisiny flavor of ancho chiles." SparX went off in his mind, and he raced out to buy anchos. The next thing, he was rolling dough and baking ancho oatmeal raisin cookies.
Are we happy he was listening to that show! We admit total addiction to this line of spicy spectaculars. When we first came across it, at an industry show, we could not tear ourselves away from his booth, gleefully consuming handfuls of each flavor while waiting for Mr. Saslaw to ask us to "please leave some for the other visitors." Fortunately, there were mountains of cookies, and we nibbled away like a mouse that had won the lottery.
Like other foods with a touch of chile, the spice creeps in after the first few bites: you're enjoying the oatmeal raisin, the peanut butter, the chocolate chip, and then "wow!" It's more of a tingle, a buzz, than a hot salsa 911. You don't really need a glass of anything to cool you down, although cookies and milk...or lager...or chocolate bock...or a tawny or ruby Port would be just fine.
Spicy Cookie Flavors
The recipes are so well developed that the quality of the base cookie shines through—a darn good cookie in of itself, and without the chiles they'd be better than most we taste in the name of "gourmet cookies." There are five fabulous flavors, and trust us: you must order all five, even if you have never ordered a (fill in the flavor) cookie in your life.
Even though simply eating these cookies right out of the bag is addictive, they are versatile amigos. We crumbled the Jalapeño Peanut Butter cookies into the crust of a peanut butter cheesecake (this works with any flavor). We crumbled Cayenne Toffee Pecan cookies and sprinkled over ice cream (see photo below)—any flavor will do. Create a parfait with vanilla yogurt, Chipotle Double Fudge and slivered almonds or make mini ice cream sandwiches with any spicy flavor and vanilla or chocolate ice cream. No matter how the "cookie crumbles," these are some seriously special treats treats that will delight family, guests, and all spice lovers in your life.

- The character I want is all business, unflappably calm, low wattage, even to the point of dullness. He's square-jawed and powerfully built, but ideally older, 40s or 50s.
- He's highly skilled, ultra-competent and well equipped.
- Sophisticated breaking and entering / stealth techniques—rappelling, lock-picking, that sort of thing—would be ideal. I'm not necessarily looking for a fighter.
- And, of course, it would help if it's a well-known role, or an actor well-known for the sort of thing described here.
Any suggestions? (I'll reveal who the comparison is for later.)

Overall Experience
Comfortable bed, great service and convenient loacation.

The beds are very comfortable, the rooms are nice, and the included meals (breakfast everyday and weekday evening happy hour events) are a nice perk.
Great place to stay.

We Love the Staybridge Concept, But...
ByBrian Mark
July 29, 2015
We love the whole concept of Staybridge Suites. It's been a much needed aspect of the North American hospitality experience on a luxury level for extended stay. This particular property is something of a "campus" with a huge pond, two fountains in the pond and another fountain at the entrance. Families love all the space. We talked to many people while we were there and overall they were having a very good experience. We had one of the smaller suites but it was still quite spacious and nicely appointed. The kitchen was lovely enough for a special celebration. There are many other wonderful outdoor spaces where you can slip into your own private world. The lobby, dining area, business center, and other indoor commons areas are nicely furnished and decorated. The free washers and dryers are terrific but there just aren't enough of them for the size of the hotel. Some of the hallways feel a little too narrow and borderline claustrophobic, without windows. There are some maintenance problems where key cards don't work. So, what needs improvement? Weekend breakfast was awful. The eggs were overcooked to the point of being rock hard so no one took them and they were stone cold. There was nowhere to sit. The floors had clumps of dirt on them. Most of the staff were laughing a goofing around in the kitchen. The manager on duty was not on site. Most of the weekend staff barely spoke english. Guests didn't no what to make of things and felt uncomfortable. The good news is that we immediately wrote to the hotel's operations manager and she has vowed to correct the problem. We didn't feel like the breakfast issue marred our stay and we do rate the overall experience as good. We hope to revisit this hotel in the future and want to be able to rate it as excellent, the next time.

The Discoverer A/T3™ utilizes a balanced combination of technology, compounding and design to produce a tire that will perform well in nearly all types of terrains. The tread compound enhances wet traction and rolling resistance, while the aggressive tread design significantly improves off-road traction without sacrificing highway performance. All traction, all terrain, all the time!
Modern, Aggressive 5-Rib All-Terrain Design. The aggressive all-terrain design is engineered to provide outstanding performance in both on-road and off-road driving applications. The A/T3 tread pattern exploits a combination of features specifically suited to provide solid all-terrain performance, superior all-season traction, excellent stability, confident handling and reliable tread wear. Silica Based Tread Compound. The tread compound is formulated with a chemically coupled silica and carbon black mixture that provides excellent wet traction and handling on the highway, while also improving cut and chip resistance in more harsh rocky and gravel terrain. The silica enriched tread compound has lower rolling resistance than traditional full carbon black tread compounds. Dual Draft Tread Element Walls. The dual draft angles on the tread element walls aid in reducing stone retention, stone drilling and assist in cut and chip resistance. Lateral Groove Protectors. Serrated steps in the lateral grooves of the intermediate tread rib reduces the chance of stone retention and stone drilling.
Extremely LOUD humming (low drone) road noise when driving between 35-55mph. Great performance in bad weather (snow, rain, sleet, slush). Comfortable ride. Would not recommend for a small to mid-size SUV. Better for larger/heavier SUV and Trucks.

Bitterroot Bulls
Well, my buddy and I backpacked nine miles deep into the Montana high alpine backcountry for the opener of early rifle. This is a public land, OTC hunt for mule deer. Deer numbers are not high in this area, but if you find a lone buck, he is often an old one. That is the case with this deer. He only had a few teeth left. He was in full, beautiful, untouched velvet with a 4 inch horizontal kicker on his driver's side ... before the shot(s). I kept putting shots on him to try to keep him on the ribbon cliff he was on, but of course he rolled right off. The velvet was shredded, and the kicker was MIA. My buddy and I searched the path of the fall, and through some miracle, my buddy found it in the rocks. My taxi should be able to fix the kicker and put some synthetic velvet on.
The pack-out was brutal, but worth it!

The owner of two coal-fired power plants in Maryland plans to stop using coal to generate electricity at those plants.
NRG Energy, owner of the Dickerson Generating Station in Montgomery County and the Chalk Point Generating Station in Prince George's County, just over the county line from Benedict, said it plans to "deactivate" the coal-fired units at both plants by June 2017.
Both plants produce electricity using a mix of coal, oil and natural gas.
NRG sent notice of its plans to regional grid operator PJM Interconnector on Dec. 2, ahead of a capacity auction scheduled for May, PJM spokesman Ray Dotter said. Each year PJM auctions the rates it will pay generators for being available if and when called on to produce power.
Dotter, unable to speak specifically about the notice given by NRG due to confidentiality, said a power company must notify PJM when it wants to retire or deactivate a plant.
Notices such as the one NRG gave typically indicate that the owner expects to and likely will shut down and not operate the plant, he said.
However, NRG could change its mind or even revise its plans to expedite closure, Dotter said.
NRG East Region spokesman David Gaier said looming state regulations for coal-fired plant emissions precipitated the company issuing the notice.
Gaier said the regulations likely will require NRG to install expensive upgrades for processing emissions.
"The significant capital investment required to install these systems can't be justified economically," he said.
The Dickerson plant is capable of generating about 849 net megawatts, according to the NRG website. Gaier said the plant, which employs about 200 people, produces 546 megawatts from coal.
Maryland Department of the Environment spokeswoman Samantha Kappalman said talks have only just begun on the regulations, which are part of Maryland's Healthy Air Act, the toughest power plant emission law on the East Coast. When the regulations will go into effect remains unknown, she said.
As the state drafts its regulations for emissions from power plants, it has joined with seven other states to call on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to crack down on pollution in states that are upwind.
About 70 percent of Maryland's air pollution comes from other states, Kappalman said.
On Monday, Maryland and seven other states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic petitioned the federal government to require upwind states — Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia — to be good neighbors and reduce emissions.
Across the country, coal plants are shutting down, said Diana Dascalu-Joffe, senior attorney for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network.
Environmental advocates are confident that NRG will cease using coal at the two Maryland plants by its 2017 deadline and contribute to efforts to move Maryland to a cleaner energy portfolio.
"We are applauding NRG's commitment and intention," Dascalu-Joffe said. "By putting in the decommissioning proposal, they've basically said to PJM, 'Look, this is the direction we want to go in. We want to decommission coal. We want to move toward more clean energy.'"
But before NRG can stop using coal, the grid operator must study if the grid can handle the loss.
Dotter said PJM has 90 days to evaluate the effect the closure would have on the grid and determine if upgrades are necessary before the plant can shut down its coal units.
PJM can request that a plant remain open longer to ensure any necessary upgrades are made and the system avoids disruption, but because NRG has given about three years of notice, any upgrades will likely fit in their window for closure, Dotter said.
Dickerson, which first went online in 1959, is one of seven plants in Maryland that still use coal to produce energy, according to the Chesapeake Climate Action Network.
Gaier said any action that NRG takes could potentially affect jobs at the plants. But he said the company has not yet made a firm decision on ceasing coal operations and will continue to evaluate its options between now and May. Exactly how many of the 200 jobs would be effected he did not say.

The separate municipality of West Hollywood (as opposed to Hollywood, which is a section of Los Angeles proper), and in particular its main drag, Sunset Boulevard, is a bit edgier than the tourist-friendly neighborhood to its east. Now much more polished than it was in the early 1990s -- when River Phoenix overdosed at The Viper Room and Hugh Grant was arrested off Sunset for lewd conduct -- the area still has a rock 'n' roll vibe. Some of the city's most famous music clubs are on Sunset, like Whisky A Go-Go and the Roxy, and so are celebrity-magnet hotels like Chateau Marmont and the Sunset Marquis.
Not ironically, once the sun goes down, the Sunset Strip becomes a nightlife mecca. If you're looking to catch a concert while standing elbow-to-elbow with Josh Hartnett or make eye contact from across the bar with Scarlett Johansson, consider popular spots like the celebrity-heavy Chateau Marmont, the dazzlingly-designed Mondrian, or the party-prone Standard Hollywood. If the thought of painfully hip hordes does nothing for you, the Andaz and the London tend to host suave but relaxed crowds (and in many cases, larger rooms for the price).

Meek Mill, 'Dreams and Nightmares': Listen to Full Album Featuring 2 Chainz, Mary J. Blige and Drake
"Ain't this what they been waiting for?" Meek Mill asks on the opening track of Dreams and Nightmares, his debut album. The piano-heavy song, which shares the album's title, kicks off the 14-track effort and is evidence that what Meek has to offer is worth the wait.
Dreams and Nightmares, due Oct. 30, reflects the range of the rapper's

Visual Basic Problem
Hello, i'm trying to make my program change a value in a database.
I've got a database called Account, and a Table called Accounts. I have 4 columns in this table. Id(Key column), UserName, Password and Adminpower.
What I am trying to do is to make a button change a value in that table. What I do not know is how to make the program know which row i want to change the value in.
Private Sub btnAdmin_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdmin.Click Dim cmd As SqlCommand Dim reader As SqlDataReader con = New SqlConnection(_connectionString) cmd = con.CreateCommand() con.Open() cmd.CommandText = "ALTER Accounts ('Adminpower') VALUES('1')" reader = cmd.ExecuteReader() If Not reader.HasRows Then MessageBox.Show("Something is wrong.") End If End Sub
When I try to press the button I get an error saying that the table doesn't exist.
Any help is appreciated.
Problem solved. I got it working, I'll keep all the text here if anyone else has a similar problem. And this is what I used:
UPDATE Accounts SET Adminpower = 1 WHERE '" & TextBox1.Text & "' = ""UserName"" AND '" & TextBox2.Text & "' = ""Password"""

Syntax may be a little bit off....
obviously this is quick and dirty, but you should be able to build off of this.Code:dim _user as String = txt_UserName.Text dim cmdstr as String = String.Format("UPDATE Accounts SET Adminpower = 1 WHERE username = '{0}'", _user) Try dim connstr as String = "" ' enter you connection string dim conn as new SqlConnection(connstr) dim cmd as new SqlCommand(cmdstr, conn) cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text conn.Open() cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() conn.Close() MessageBox.Show("Updated successfully!", "Results", MessageBoxButtons.OK) Catch sX as SqlException MessageBox.Show("There was a SQL Error!", "Results", MessageBoxButtons.OK) Catch eX as Exception MessageBox.Show("There was an Error!", "Results", MessageBoxButtons.OK) End Try

Hi Tracey,
She is definitely a sassy one and so beautiful!!~
It reminds me of when I was little, I loved to pose, now I'm a bit shier. :)
I absolutely adore the dress she has on, and it is just perfect with her boots.
And how precious your little niece is, it makes me long for a baby girl, but I'm not sure hubby would agree about having another one, our 2 boys are quite a joyful handful! :)
Hope you have a lovely day.

Oh dear, Mama. Little girls who really have the "horsey' bug rarely outgrow it. My little darling started riding at age 6, and now at 26 is just as passionate. She rode on her college team, has spent 2 summers as a wrangler at a Colorado ranch, and we built a barn to accomodate her first horse, who still lives with us, and I expect always will. Are there old folks homes that allow horses? Your girls are lovely. Hoping Caighton's pony dreams come true. My daughter wore her first pair of paddock boots to kidnergarten everyday. What can you do?

Personal office, first-date spot, gossipy gathering place…the simple coffee shop can be anything you want it to be. Even so, there's a certain formula that turns the average (cup of) Joe establishment into a welcoming, java-sippin' respite. And because we're always looking for the ultimate bean buzz, we scoped out 10 of the best cafes to keep you going from 9-to-5 — and way beyond — one mug at a time.
You'll love listening to live music while sipping on a caffeinated concoction (with a house-made syrup, no less) at Andersonville's Coffee Studio. And for a spot that feels like a friend's to-die-for pad, you can't beat the geek-chic surroundings at The Wormhole. So, while we can't help you with your TPS reports — or the company you keep — hopefully these second homes will keep you perky through it all.

Canoeing & Kayaking Paradise
Each of the Yukon's 70 wild rivers is unique and offers canoeing and kayaking adventures and a diversity of wildlife, landscapes, geology and history. There are a couple of traits though that all Yukon rivers share—crystalline clear waters and nature at its most untouched and unspoiled.
Paddle Canada's wilderness rivers
With four Canadian Heritage Rivers and dozens of must-run river routes, the Yukon is a paddlers' smorgasbord.
The Yukon River combines wildlife, scenery, history, culture and adventure into one memorable trip. Paddling the Big Salmon and Teslin Rivers are mellow routes with excellent fishing, lazy floats and friendly rapids.
The exhilarating Snake, Bonnet Plume and Wind Rivers flow through one of the most remote regions of North America. Or paddle the Macmillan, Beaver, Wolf, Hess, Takhini, Liard or Pelly River—so many Yukon canoe trips await your discovery. If you're a whitewater kayaker you'll be spoilt for choice in the Yukon—and in most places you'll have the river all to yourself. Check out the rollicking Tutshi River or the world-class rapids of the Tatshenshini River. Serious kayakers will know about the Alsek River, a raging waterway through Kluane National Park with a succession of Class IV challenges. When you come up for air, you'll be surrounded by some of the most dramatic wilderness scenery you've ever seen.
For flatwater enthusiasts, experience the beauty of roadside gems including Kathleen, Fox, Tagish, Five Mile, Frances, Frenchman and Chapman lakes.

Reviews for Zucchini Carrot Cake
Sort By :
"Wow! Delicious cake! Very flavorful and love the icing.. Will definitely be making again."
"Very delicious cake! I only have 2, 8" round pans. I hesitated baking it at the same temp, but followed the directions and cooked it just a hair longer. It turned out perfect and tasted fabulous. I'll be keeping the cream cheese frosting recipe on hand too! Perfect!"
"Excellent very moist, and light weight. I substitued the nuts with raisins and used a 9x13 pan [bake for 1 hour]. One recipe of frosting is more than enough to ice cake. Yummy"
"This is the most delicious zucchini cake EVER! So moist and flavorful that it tops my desert list."
"Y.U.M. Made it just the way it is written (included pecans) except baked it in 2 10" round pans. Huge hit with everyone in the family."

Post at the Makezine Blog! Thank you Gareth!
HACK-A-DAY Post. Thank you Caleb!
Step 1: Get ur Materials!
Go to any kiosk, fleemarket, e-store or biddingsite and get your hand on a MegaJoy 1780983 games in 1 type of thing. If size is not an issue, get a whole NES console.
1x Nes on a Chip.
The LCD
Do the same for a PSOne LCD.
1x PSOne 5" TTF Screen.
The Controller
For a true 1980 NES experience, you NEED a NES Controller.
The Frame
Get some Plexyglass.
3x 18 cm-13 cm-3 mm
1x 20 cm-15 cm-3 mm
The Power Supply, LEDs and other Electronics
The screen runs off 7.5 V and the NES runs off 5 V. I don't want to be messing about with more than one power supply so I'm going to destribute power from a single adjustable supply. To do so I need to build a tiny Voltage regulator circuits using some ICs.
-For the 7.5 V Power Supply' (Screen)
1x LM350 IC
1x 220 Ohm resistor 5% 1/4 W
1x Stay Set 0-400 Ohm potenciometer
1x 1.2 kilo-Ohm resistor 5% 1/4 W
1x 0.1 uF ceramic capacitor
1x 1.0 uF electrolytic capacitor
1x heat dissipator.
"-For the 5.0 V Power Supply (NoaC and LEDs)"
1x 7805 IC
1x 1 mF electronytic capacitor.
"Other stuff"
You will need some cable, some 40/60 solder (if you can find leadless better) some screws and a 12 V Power Supply. Off course, you also Need a workbench or workspace to put your stress releasing NES.
TMNT 2 for NES is two BA-s.
I believe they are both 72 pins.
check wikipedia
I'm surprised you are getting it to work with 10.5 V, I had a hell of a time getting the 7.5 V Power Source so it could work properly (I had funny lines going down the screen with anything above 7.5!)
Hope you get some pics up soon with what ever you are conjuring up!
