Our Guide to Understanding Intimacy and Sexuality offers an in-depth, candid discussion of the many ways that breast cancer diagnosis and treatment can impact your sexual life. Menopausal symptoms, treatment side effects and changes to your breasts and body can lessen your sexual desire, and the emotional strain that comes from those changes can make it hard to enjoy the physical pleasure of your relationships.
You may find that your healthcare providers don't discuss the details of sexual and intimacy issues related to breast cancer as much as you'd like, or they may not talk about them at all. The Guide to Understanding Intimacy and Sexuality explains the types of treatments and side effects that may impact your sexual life both physically and emotionally, and offers practical advice for preserving or rediscovering it. Explore how to talk to your healthcare providers and partner about concerns, and how to handle talking about your diagnosis with new partners if you start to date after treatment.
The guide includes the experiences of single and partnered people, people of all sexual orientations, and women of all ages.

VMware vCloud Air Network Service Providers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is cloud or utility computing?
Cloud computing is an approach to computing that leverages the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure consumed as a service. Sometimes known as utility computing, clouds provide a set of typically virtualized computers which can provide users with the ability to start and stop servers or use compute cycles only when needed, often paying only upon usage.
What is the underlying technology used by the VMware vCloud Air Network Service Provider ecosystem?
VMware vCloud Air Network Service Providers utilize the same platform with integrated and connected management to seamlessly extend beyond the data center to the cloud that VMware customers use in their data centers - VMware vSphere. And because vSphere used by our service providers has the same level of reliability and security as customers internal IT environments, utilizing a VMware vCloud Air Network Service Provider enables you to reduce both risk and cost without requiring you to invest in additional management tools, reinvent your processes or retrain your existing workforce.
vCloud services enables customers to leverage the industry-leading service providers, software vendors and advanced VMware technology, to build private clouds and seamlessly deploy test labs, disaster recovery or simple flex capacity off premise or to the cloud. It also delivers peace of mind because the services from hosting and service providers for disaster recovery, test and development or just simple infrastructure on demand are certified by VMware and will be reliable and flexible.
How is cloud computing different from hosting or grid computing or other terms heard in the industry?
Various terms (such as cloud computing, elastic computing, grid computing, mesh computing) are used to describe the ability to tap into Internet-based resources that can be accessed on demand to perform computing tasks.
What's the difference between "on-premise", "hosted" and "cloud"?
On-premise, or private clouds continue to be an increasing trend amongst companies. As they begin seeing the opportunity to leverage resource pools and simplified provisioning to centralize computing power to better service distributed business units, they also realize the challenges of billing and SLAs required to achieve these goals. The cloud has been defined in many ways, but many view the cloud as an elastic, self-provisioning, billable on a usage basis, way to acquire computing needs. This can be private (on-premise), public ( hosted off-site ), or hybrid (mix of on-site and off-site). Unlike the cloud, a hosted solution usually means there's a fixed rate to pay, like by month or by number of servers, as well as the inability to scale infrastructure on an as-needed basis. Normally hosted services imply that a fixed set of computer resources are made available.
Where can I find more information on the vCloud Air Network?
As a part of the VMware vCloud Air Network, VMware offers VMware vCloud Air, a public or hybrid cloud delivered and operated by VMware. Customers can visit http://vcloudproviders.vmware.com to find their ideal VMware vCloud Air Network service provider partner.
Why should I choose VMware to build a cloud over other alternatives in the market?
The VMware Cloud Platform defines a new class of technology that provides a reliable, extensible and manageable cloud infrastructure.
Runs any application cost effectively and predictably in a shared, on-premise or off-premise infrastructure cloud.
Aggregates industry standard x86 systems, storage and network into unified logical resource pools to provide the highest reliability and the lowest cost way of running applications.
Allows users to automatically manage applications to pre-defined SLAs by providing built in availability, security and performance assurance for all applications.
How will I be certain my applications and data are secure in the vCloud?
VMware-based vCloud – private, public or hybrid - has the same security, reliability and performance currently delivered by VMware vSphere. Compliance certifications vary by VMware vCloud Air Network Service Provider partners and can be viewed at http://vcloudproviders.vmware.com
Can I move my applications out of my internal VMware Virtualized vCloud to the VMware vCloud Air Network?
Yes. The cloud computing platform of services that are common across all VMware vCloud Air Network services found both in your data center or via third parties enable applications to be migrated with minimal impact. VMware provides a broad array of containers to facilitate cloud computing including virtual machines, VMware Ready Virtual Appliances and vApps.
What OS does the vCloud support?
VMware encapsulates the OS of your choice within the virtual machine and isolates it from the hardware. Users can take the OS and the application within that virtual machine and deploy it on any hardware. That, combined with the broad ecosystem of VMware Ready vClouds that support all different operating systems, enables a choice of OS.
Is vCloud a product or a service?
Neither. It is a set of enabling technologies including VMware vSphere, the vCloud API and additional cloud computing services that have yet to be announced that are brought to end customers both via private clouds built on VMware and the vCloud service provider ecosystem.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Hello Guys and Gals,
I was wondering what is your favorite disc, What do you love about the disc and is there something you would change if you could... Could be anything turn, fade glide, speed, plastics, doom, wing, bead, flight plate, color and so much more!!!
Views: 15
my C.E. Roc is what id change, id like it to be a little more stable and pink
First Run Z Wasp. I wouldn't change one thing about it. I like it just the way it is.
ESP Zone
This disc is great for short range stable drives, and GREAT skip disc. The best one out there if you ask me.
I would make it in Z plastic if I could change something.
Well, I always keep going to my Legacy by Ching. First, I change the color to a brighter orange. The only other thing I would do is to have fade a little less.
it used to be my r-pro boss but now i have to say my GL flow . the gold line holds up way better then the r-pro so it holds i line better after a while instead of fliping over when broken in . would like a cool fishy die though .
but i would try an ESP boss if they made one .
That would be a hard one to get. Unless Discraft and Innova merged ;) Star plastic is pretty close to ESP though.
The only disc I've had since day one and has never left my bag........Champ Gator.
180 Gram R-Pro Roc this disc is money for getting out of trouble. I wouldn't of minded a little less fade at the end of it's flight when I first got it, but now I depend on it.
My favorite discs are my valkyries. I have an older dx that I use for turning over and I have my star which is a little more stable that I use for the majority of my drives. I depend on my valks. It was the first driver I had ever bought. I have gotten used to them and just stuck with em'.
Midnight Z-Buzzz or my trusty Bar Stamp FR Buzzz.. Flat and wicked useful. The only thing I would change would be to make more of them so I wouldent have to pay so darn much money to get more of them.
Banshee. Predictability and control. Nothing to change about it at all. It is the perfect disc.

Happy Heart Day!
I've been spending the day playing with my darling children and during lulls in the LOLs I've been pondering certain little children and their families who will be just as joyful for their own "heart day" funded on this "heart day."
My friend Dr.Mani is continually raising awareness for congenital heart defects and he always leverages the obvious holiday: St. Valentine's Day / CHD Awareness Day. This year Dr.Mani has two things happening on the auspicious day — one for business owners and one for those who want to use their passion to make big things happen.
Business owners (and those who want to be business owners) can take advantage of a business boosting pack and know that the profits from the sale are going directly to fund children's heart surgeries. I picked up my copy of this bundle during a special last year and can highly recommend it. The smaller bundle gets you 8+ ebooks including Dr.Mani's seminal Think, Write & Retire for the price of Think, Write & Retire alone. (And TWR is worth it on it's own!)
The larger bundle has all of that plus two additional products that are, in my opinion, the main reasons to take advantage of this special. Ezine ANTI Marketing and 5x Profits SYSTEM, like TWR, contain much of Dr.Mani's hard-won wisdom for selling products online. I love his contrarian advice in the Ezine ANTI Marketing product — you don't need a huge list if you build relationships with your small list!
The other special today is for those with passion that has not necessarily translated into action as well as you would like, or who would just like to help fund a child's heart surgery with a few dollars. Dr.Mani has decided to launch his book "47 Hearts" on the Kindle ebook platform and has several additional reports as gifts for picking up your copy today.
I have had a copy of 47 Hearts for quite a while and I obviously needed to re-read it since I was blown away again by the great advice on each page. I really believe that anyone with even a little passion for something bigger than themselves can benefit from this book — and periodically revisiting it.
Oh, and even though this is published on Kindle, there are a number of options even without a Kindle device. Amazon has apps for iPhone, Blackberry, Android, desktop, etc. Also, Dr.Mani will cheerfully send you a PDF version of the book after you send him a copy of your receipt.
I also realized that there are people who want to help Dr.Mani's work but may not have the $3 to spend on 47 Hearts. If you don't have the money, but have half an hour, you can still help fund a child's heart surgery! (Oh, and the bonus reports from Dr.Mani will help prevent not having the money in the future if you apply them and the 47 Hearts principles.)
Rather appropriately, the solution I came up with is also through Amazon. You may not be aware of Amazon's Mechanical Turk program. Mechanical Turk is a platform for businesses to request tasks, "HITs" in their terms. These tasks are small things that a computer can't do easily, but a person can. So, MT allows the business owner to treat the turk as if it were a computer, but people perform the tasks.
Why Mechanical Turk is relevant is this, they pay people to perform these HITs. Depending on the task and the business each HIT can pay $0.01 and up. Checking just now, I saw HITs up to $7 each. Now, the $7 HIT involved up to 3 hours, a phone, and some French language skills, so not everyone could easily perform that one. I did, however, see several that paid around $2 for "testing a website" that were 10-20 minutes max. Oh, and as a bonus, they deposit the payments directly into your Amazon.com account, so then you can buy 47 Hearts without any shuffling of funds.
So, there are your choices for how to help some little hearts today.

Looking for great Arts Education resources online? Here is a webmix I made for a recent session on KET's Arts Toolkits:
Posts Tagged 'Arts'
KET Arts Resources Symbaloo WebmixMonday, August 12th, 2013
SymbalooTuesday, March 26th, 2013
I love exploring new online tools, or at least tools that are new to me! Today, I was working on a presentation for next week and I decided to give Symbaloo a try.
Symbaloo is a way to bookmark resources for another group of people, such as a class, or for your own use. For the most part, I really like it as a class resource organizer. The biggest advantage Symbaloo may have over my other favorite site for curating resources, Livebinder, is that it has the familiar, at-a-glance appearance of a screen full of apps. I, like most folks, am now very used to scanning a page and looking for a particular app, whether I am on an ipad, an android, or just the Google chrome home page. I also like that you can customize the images on the tiles, the number of tiles and the background. If you look below at the webmix of KET arts resources that I made today, you can see that I was able to upload images for each tile or I could just choose one of the standard icons. Finally, I like that you can have several tabbed webmixes on the screen.
I do have one problem with Symbaloo – I really don't like the big square in the middle of the screen. I'd like to be able to delete it, move it, or at least use it as a title for the page, but those aren't options. All you seem to be able to do is choose whether it is a Google search box, another kind of widget, or, in my case, a "newsfeed," which turned it into a big blank box.
Perhaps Symbaloo will get rid of the big box soon. In the meantime, I do really like the concept and will enjoy using this page during my presentation next week!

- FUNDING JAMES FRANCO: We're big fans of "crowd-funding" website Kickstarter, which allows people to follow through on brilliant and/or stupid project ideas through cash pledges from generous 'netters. This may be our favorite: Portland-based Social Malpractice Publishing and Container Corps Art Press have successfully raised $2,000 to publish a book called Fucking James Franco: "a collection of erotic fiction that describes hypothetical sexual encounters with the greatest American actor, writer, and visual artist of all time." Although the project has met its funding goal, it is still taking pledges: $10 will score you a copy of Fucking James Franco; $25 will also get you a screenprinted mirror poster of James Franco "making out with himself."
NOW OPEN: Tanuki, Janis Martin's Japanese bar, reopens in Montavilla this week, and will be open on Thanksgiving. >> Mi Mero Mole, Kenny & Zuke's co-founder and occasional WW contributor Nick Zukin's new Mexico City-style taco joint, opens next week. >> Yet another craft distillery is coming to town! Industrial Row Distillery has applied for a license at 645 N Tillamook St. >> Now here's a business name: Sweatpants Corporation, the business identity of Nostrana sous chef Johanna Ware, has applied to open Smallwares, an Asian restaurant and bar open until 2 am nightly, in the space at 4605 NE Fremont St. that last housed Doc George's Jazz Kitchen. >> Two real-estate agents, Darcy Perry and Melissa Steenson, have applied to open a wine bar and specialty-foods store called Bin 21 at 5011 NE 21st Ave., around the corner from Salt & Straw ice cream shop. >> Emily's Teriyaki & Pho, which recently applied for a space on North Columbia Boulevard, is now applying to open in the former La Salsa Mexican Grill at 6036 SE Division St.
PORTLANDIA LIVE: You may already know that Portlandia will stage a six-city tour featuring Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein talking, clips from the second season, and some sort of live musical component that will show how much better SNL castmate Andy Samberg is at the music thing. Stumptown itself gets the first show, Dec. 27. Speaking of.... Were Walter Winchell still alive, we think he'd want to know if Carrie and Fred are dating, or did date, or what. He's dead, and Scoop is far too serious a journalistic enterprise to indulge such triviality, so that question will just go unasked.
- THE NEW BLACK: Interested in marking Black Friday without joining an anarchist-planned, shopping-mall protest or wearing stained sweatpants to Best Buy? Local stores—90 of 'em—are banding together for "Little Boxes," which is basically just a big raffle for prizes like an iPad, but seems like a nice middle ground between attempting to bring consumerism to its knees or pushing someone down on a mad dash for the last Lalaloopsy doll.

Do we have a moral imperative to help others?
If one includes others, please define "others". For example, are "others" family, friends, community, city, state, country, or world? Are others the most needy and/or the least powerful such as children or women in a poverty stricken country? When answering, keep in mind our innate ability as humans to self deceive, and answer based on one's current use of time, money, and emotional surplus, if any, rather than words absent of corresponding action.
Feb 10 2013: Depends heavily on you, you can be someone that put his family first or do anything for his friends. no one can draw a line for you or say what you must do. It's just vary with who you are.
But it's always nice and great to put others first and help them. it's beyond a good did. You can and should choose who or what you want to help.
Roy Bourque
Feb 11 2013: We are responsible for what gives us life; namely the environment in which we live and the people who help make it a working ecosystem.
- +2
Our primary responsibility begins with self-development, for without this, we become a burden on others. We are not responsible for the failure of others, but we should take responsibility for helping others to become responsible for themselves, for we are not in this life alone. Our failure to help others in need justifies their failure to help us when we are in need. Yet to help others without discretion is to place unnecessary burdens on ourselves. It takes careful thought. We give as we are able, but should never give more than we are able; to him whom much is given, much will be required.Feb 11 2013: What kind of resposibility ?
You know, if we know ourselves responsible for other's morality and behavior, and correct them in our way of thinking, first by kind advices and then by violence, soon we will have what is happening in extremist-political countries like where I live, Iran. I mean, some kind of totalitarianism.
But If you mean the responsibility of caring about the others, and giving them what they want, it depends on yourself, and how much love exist between you and them.
But as Max, in the movie of "Mary and Max" said, "First love yourself."

Feb 10 2013: I believe I'm first responsible for myself, but then to help others concurrently. For example, I may pick up trash in my neighborhood to help myself cause I hate looking at it; but it helps other cause they don't have to look at it.Feb 10 2013: G'day Brian

One should be responsible for all of one's environment which is basically everything.
MathewFeb 11 2013: Isn't oneself enough and hard enough?
Feb 11 2013: It certainly can be. That is why I targeted the question towards those that have financial, temporal, and emotional surplus. Thanks for responding.

We have to be responsible for ourselves and our symbiotic members of family, friends, community, .... all humankind.
(For SYMBIOSIS, see the 1st article, points 4-8, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)Feb 13 2013: Hi Kate. The reason I used the term social entrepreneur is because I invest my own money and time in projects, not other people's money. This gives me more leeway and I can take on more risk while charities and NGOs may have a more narrow focus and have to be accountable to their donors.
I came back from Haiti recently and have funded books for schools, laptops, medical supplies, and micro finance initiatives an hour east and north of Port-Au-Prince. I am funding schooling, healthcare, and nutrition for kids in Dominica and have helped finance projects in Honduras and Tanzania. Without getting too long winded, I have "adopted" seven kids in my community that needed a dad (I have four biological boys of my own) and have a masters degree in counseling. I have a passion for learning with an emphasis on social and evolutionary psychology, ethics, behavioral biology, anthropology, and neuroscience. Please don't interpret the above as a congratulatory pat on the back. I have a lot to be grateful for and words can make things seem much more impressive than they really are. I am as much of a hypocrite in regards to my beliefs versus my actions as anyone else.
I posed the question on TED because I want someone to challenge and convince me that it is not a moral imperative under my particular circumstances. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do. However, it would be great for it to be a nice thing to do rather than the right thing to do. Maybe we can discuss the evolutionary influence of ethics for another day.Feb 13 2013: Hi Allan. Thanks for responding. I am a little confused. Is it what one decides is moral or what the group decides?Feb 13 2013: Depends on what one decides is moral ... morality is a convention agreed to by a group/society.Feb 11 2013: "Then as Farokh says its nice to help others as we are able, but being responsible for them is something very different. At most we can lead by example but ultimately we are each responsible for our own words and actions."
Hi Kate. I appreciate your response and would like to dig a little deeper so we can challenge each other. Responsibility for ones own words and actions (or inactions) implies both power and choice. However, many children and individuals possess neither. Now let's assume that both you and I do possess power and choice and therefore are responsible for our own words and actions. If we walked by a young child who was starving and we had surplus food than would it be nice to feed her but not necessarily our responsibility? If we didn't feed the child, wouldn't our emotions tell us otherwise making us feel responsible for our inaction?
Comment deleted
Feb 11 2013: Thanks Kate and everyone for responding. I realize my question needed to be more precise because much was lost in the assumptions both I and the respondents were making. I changed the word from responsible to help so we can all be on the same page. I hope the revision is more clear and I would like to provide some context.
As a social entrepreneur who works on projects in three developing countries, I see many cases of children who are invisible with no power or choice. My projects focus on giving them power and choice through food, education, and health care which, guilty as charged, imposes my standard of responsibility (moral helping).
Kate, I used the words "time, money, and emotional surplus" in my elaboration of the original question to imply excess and within one's capacity in order to avoid being overwhelmed. I, at times, have to remember to stay within my circle of competence and "chunk it down" into small manageable actions so I don't become overwhelmed.
You are right. I was implying that one would feel guilty in my example. Based on our moral intuitive channel of care/harm as discussed by Jonathan Haidt, these channels appear to be embedded in all of us and was exemplified in your "impelled to give" response. However, they are merely rough drafts which become revised by environment. Thanks for the discussion.
Comment deleted
Feb 11 2013: I agree. Giving her one meal may be hugely beneficial for both her stomach and my conscience for the moment but does little good over the long term.

Feb 12 2013: And this very simple small action on our part just might make ALL the difference.

I pushed a button on the bottom of the fan, and a steady purr filled the room. The pitch changed slightly but rhythmically as the head of the fan swiveled to and fro. I poured a cup of tea and began typing. The clickety-clack of the keys has become so ingrained in my daily existence that it seems to fade in and out of awareness; a steady procession often interrupted by a furious darker pitched backspace noise, and then quickly resumed. I get up, take off my jacket, walk around and think about what I want to say. I comb my hair and wash my hands and settle on an idea: perhaps it was not so much of a series of lies as it was a series of partial truths, I think to myself. I flip through a copy of Faust–where was the line I was thinking of?–art is long indeed, I think as I search. I read the paragraph I have written and consider how to continue weaving this story while playing a few simple notes on the ukulele. A door closes somewhere in the hallway; humanity is alive and abuzz.
The sounds I have chosen are very ordinary sounds; soft tones and hums that pass by nearly unheard. These are the sounds of my daily existence; the washing of hands, the pouring of tea, the soft hum of the fan–background noises, small and invisible. It is not the music or the voices that fill my existence, the things that I consciously listen to that I have recorded–I have recorded things that are steady, that are rarely focused upon, but life would feel eerie and empty in their absence. Michel Chion would classify this as causal listening–not the sort of listening that has to do with decoding language or analyzing the sound's traits, but rather the sort of listening that occurs because objects and movement cause noise. These noises compliment the visual world, tell us what is happening in the moment. They are so intricately woven into our existence that we scarcely pay them any heed, yet they are central to the way we experience living. We hear "the sound produced by a particular unique object" (Chion 48) in the purest sense.
These sounds do not exist isolated in our imagination; they give us a profound sense of comfort. The noise of the fan in the background is "a restoration of rhythm [which] stands for situations being in control" (Bijsterveld 153). These sounds, though seemingly random at first glance, are incredibly ordered; the man walks at a steady pace, the fan moves mechanically, the comb moves consistently–there is a pattern, perhaps undetectable to an outsider, but easily detectable to someone familiar with this routine. Indeed, these sounds work to create a sense of familiarity, of non-randomness and control that puts the mind at ease and makes one feel at home. These are not the sounds of chaos; they are the sounds of an individual normality.
Creating this playlist illustrated the plethora of sound in the quiet. Since "the sense of hearing cannot be closed off at will" (Schafer 102), we hear regardless of source or personal relevance. I enjoy this aspect, personally; I feel this sensory experience as a source of comfort and control over the home environment. The sounds constitute an experience so close to existence itself that it is difficult to imagine their absence.
Perhaps that's what this is all about, I thought as the fan droned on to my left: telling a story where the most important things are the things so natural that we never even notice them.
You can listen to my recordings here.

Comments On Feb 01, 2012:I buy a can of this just about ever time I order from here. It keeps my bikes looking clean and newer looking longer. Works especially well on black plastics and water hoses. Another benefit is that when you spray this on the underside of your fenders, it keeps mud and dirt from sticking and weighing down the bike.

Ana recently gave an interview to Hello! magazine in Serbia, during which they quizzed her on her "beauty secrets". The following is a translated extract from the Q & A:
You are professional tennis player, do you have some special beauty rituals?
Considering I am a tennis player and that most of the time my skin is exposed to the sun or wind, I make sure I regularly put on sun block. And of course I use a cleanser and a moisturising cream for basic care.
Have you ever coloured your hair, and what are some good tips for a nice hair look when you do not have time for hairdresser?
I have never coloured my hair. I don't have much time to go to the hairdresser, so most of the time the best solution for me is "freshly" washed hair and a good conditioner that gives shine.
As a pro tennis player, do you like massages and which is the best type of massage for you: relaxing, sports or something else?
I am having massages regularly, which is part of the recovery process after hard training or a match. Unfortunately these sport massages can be very painful and deep and not enjoyable at all! But relaxing massage are something I can not live without either.

How thick is the butcher block?
I don't usually write reviews, but here goes... Beautiful work table. Rock solid and arrived FULLY assembled. Top needed oiling, but this piece oozes quality. I could nit-pick a couple of small "defects", but that would miss the bigger picture... this is, as my dad would say, a "hell-for-stout" monster of a work table. Absolutely solid. Will survive scores of moves and probably last forever. You won't be disappointed....

Well Built
The table was delivered fully assembled via lift gate. It looks great and is a very heavy, sturdy piece of furniture that will surely last a long time!Read More
White kitchen island table
Low quality on the finish of this product, Bad paint. Legs were also uneven, almost a quarter of an inch on one leg. If you have the time to fix everything like I did it works out to be a decent island table. But initial quality was bad.Read More
Good not Excellent
This is a very nice if over priced kitchen island. The quality is good and it is very stable, however for the price I would have expected a better finish on both the top and the legs. The top is a little rough and required sanding and oiling before use. The legs are lightly sanded and then stained. No other finish. Don't get me wrong this is a nice piece but not worth the high price.Read More
Great piece of furniture
High quality solid wood. This thing is sturdy and looks beautiful in my kitchen! The only disappointment is that the table top is not finish and has a kind of "grainy" feel to it. I plan to sand it down and finish it with a lacquer.Read More

Love it!
We love this table! It came in the mail much faster than expected. It was already assembled and is very sturdy. The finish on the table top is a little darker than what appeared in the pic, but it still looks great! Love, love, love it!Read More
I searched and searched for an island that was the right size and this is IT! I didn't want any "assembly required" I was so apprehensive and when it arrived I couldn't have been more pleased. It arrived without a scratch and looks like it has been in my kitchen forever. I did look for care instructions for the top - am I supposed to mineral oil it to keep it from driving out? (I have been) and I did feel I needed to take some sandpaper to the top just to smooth things over. I would recommend this product to everyone considering spending $$$$ on a BOOS piece (which I just could not justify, especially once I found THIS!) Enjoy!Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello jtm7, this top of this island (the butcher block) is two inches thick. Thank you for shopping with us!
does this product have room for barstools?
Thank you for your question. This item would look great with bar stools around it! Have a great day!
Questions on the final finish. Is the color option for table top or frame. (My earlier question was somehow distorted with strange symbols - asking again)
It is for the base/frame. The top is natural wood.
Options of "finish": is it the table top or the legs/shelf?
It is for the base/legs. The top is natural wood.
How can I see it in Onyx?
Unfortunately, we don''t have a picture of it in onyx.
how much does it weigh?
This weighs 170 lbs.

Construction Update
Construction has begun on the Broadway Interchange Replacement Project. Crews are installing drainage, relocating utility lines and bringing in material for the I-84 ramps.
Current traffic impacts include:
Safety is our first priority at ITD. Always plan ahead, pay attention and know your route.
To receive construction updates, email firstname.lastname@example.com
Project Facts
Project Number: A009(821)
ITD is replacing the Broadway Interchange with a new Single-Point Urban Interchange design (SPUI). The project will improve safety and traffic flow, and make way for a third eastbound and westbound lane between the Broadway and Gowen interchanges.
On Broadway Avenue
On I-84
For more information about the project, click here for a project fact sheet.
In addition to the Broadway Avenue Interchange construction, ITD will be replacing the Gowen Road Interchange in Boise and the Meridian Road Interchange in Meridian.
This project is a result of an Environmental Assessment and a planning study for I-84 from just west of the Orchard Interchange to the Isaacs Canyon Interchange (Eisenman Road). The interstate, built in the late 1960s, was not designed to handle the current traffic volumes. The study recommended improvements for this corridor, including replacing the existing pavement, adding lanes to the interstate, installation of soundwalls, and reconstructing the Orchard, Vista, Broadway, and Gowen interchanges to meet future traffic capacity requirements.
ITD received environmental approval for this project from the Federal Highway Administration in November 2007. For more information about the Environmental Assessment, click here.
Construction Schedule
Work will begin in the spring of 2014 and end in late 2015. Concrete Placing Company is the contractor.
The Broadway Interchange construction will cost $26.7 million. Funding will come from two sources: the GARVEE Transportation Program and traditional federal transportation funds.
ITD saved $80 million during the GARVEE program due to efficient management and competitive construction bids. The savings will fund reconstruction of the Meridian, Broadway and Gowen interchanges. ITD has provided an additional $44 million for these projects from traditional federal transportation funds.

In the 50s and 60s, some of the most innovative jazz came out of Los Angeles and San Francisco. Artists like Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker and Stan Getz had gone west and created a new jazz sound—cooler, more lyrical, less hard-edged.
The jazz critics felt that that the hot sun bleached out the soul of this new sound, but Dexter Gordon, Curtis Counce and Hampton Hawes were as hard swinging as anything happening in New York.
For the true jazz fan, Bill Charlap showcases the unique sound that deserves its place in the (Manhattan) sun.

Award-winning JazzWax blogger Marc Myers has interviewed Bill Charlap about West Coast Jazz and has illustrated it with some classic LP covers from the era. Here is the opening:
JazzWax: From your perspective, how did West Coast jazz differ from East Coast jazz in the '50s?
Bill Charlap: Much of what is written about West Coast jazz tells only part of the story. For instance, most people think of Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker and Bob Brookmeyer when they hear the term West Coast jazz—the sound that focused on counterpoint and the relaxed Lester Young feeling.
But there's a corollary to that sound, a very swinging scene that took place out there at the same time but hasn't received the same amount of attention. I'm talking about musicians like Curtis Counce, Harold Land, Gerald Wiggins, Carl Perkins, Hampton Hawes, Victor Feldman and many others. There was plenty of hard swinging and edgy rhythm sections on the West Coast then. There's a lot more to West Coast jazz than the Haig or the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach.

On December 16, 2001, PBS broadcast the documentary, "Rediscovering Dave Brubeck, with Hendrick Smith."
The program's microsite includes an interview by Smith with historian Ted Giora and critic Stanley Crouch on Brubeck's role in West Coast Jazz:
Giora: The concept that you could do jazz and make it modern was very new; and here Dave came and not only was he doing modern jazz, but he was even more modern in many ways than a lot of what was happening in New York—taking the advance compositional techniques of Milhaud and others and trying to bring it into the jazz idiom. And this hit the Bay Area jazz scene like a lightening bolt; and really it's never been the same since.
Crouch: Dave Brubeck doesn't really fit in the light version of West Coast Jazz…But I think that was the appeal of his band, too, was that he had those two elements. In other words, you had like the cool, fluid kind of playing that you got with Paul Desmond and then you had a much more aggressive kind of powerhouse approach from Brubeck.

From the preface to Jazz West Coast: The Los Angeles Jazz Scene of the 1950s, by Robert Gordon (Quartet, 1986), posted on JazzProfiles.com
In the early 1950s the attention of the jazz world was focused on Los Angeles. Baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan had gained fame (and a spread in Time magazine) by forming a piano-less quartet; his new group was drawing standing-room-only crowds nightly to an intimate club called The Haig. Several miles away in the town of Hermosa Beach, bassist Howard Rumsey and a crew of ex-Kentonites drew equally enthusiastic crowds to an old crew of ex waterfront bar, the Lighthouse Cafe. Independent record companies—Pacific jazz and Contemporary in the vanguard sprang up like fast-food franchises and issued a seemingly endless torrent of albums by these and other Los Angeles-based musicians. In this hothouse atmosphere experimentation was rife, and attempts to adapt the instruments and techniques of the concert hall to jazz were tried, sometimes with a fair amount of success. The jazz press was—at first—also highly enthusiastic about the new sounds from the Coast. Somebody coined the term "West Coast jazz" to describe the music being produced in California, and the tag stuck….

Introduction to Allaboutjazz.com's Jazz Primer: "Cool Thoughts on West Coast Jazz," by Geoff Roach
With the close of the Second World War, jazz underwent a massive transformation. For musical, cultural, technological and economic reasons, the swing era dominated by the big bands drew to a close. To fill the jazz void, the music split into several factions - bebop, hard bop, cool, and even played a role in the development of rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Additionally, the split was more than musical, it was geographic. Bebop and hard bop became centered on New York and the cool school gravitated towards California and gave birth to the term "West Coast Jazz."

This year marks Bill Charlap's ninth summer as artistic director of 92nd Street Y's Jazz in July summer festival. One of the world's premier jazz pianists, Mr. Charlap has performed with many leading artists of our time, ranging from Phil Woods and Tony Bennett to Gerry Mulligan and Wynton Marsalis. He is known for his interpretations of American popular songs and has recorded albums featuring the music of Hoagy Carmichael, Leonard Bernstein and George Gershwin. Time magazine wrote, "Bill Charlap approaches a song the way a lover approaches his beloved…no matter how imaginative or surprising his take on a song is, he invariably zeroes in on its essence."
In 1997, Mr. Charlap formed the Bill Charlap Trio with bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington (no relation), now recognized as one of the leading groups in jazz. In 2000, he signed with Blue Note Records and has since received two Grammy nominations, for Somewhere: The Songs of Leonard Bernstein and The Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard. The Trio performs all over the world; their New York engagements include regular appearances at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and they will return to the Village Vanguard for a two-week run this fall. In 2009, Mr. Charlap was pianist and musical director for The Blue Note 7, an all-star jazz septet celebrating the legacy of Blue Note Records on its 70th anniversary. The septet performed a 50-city tour and released the CD, Mosaic: A Celebration of Blue Note Records.
Mr. Charlap's experience as concert producer extends beyond Jazz in July. In the mid-1990s, he was the musical director of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, A Celebration of Johnny Mercer," part of New York's JVC Jazz Festival. He has produced several concerts for Jazz at Lincoln Center and an evening of George Gershwin's music at the Hollywood Bowl.
Born in New York City, Mr. Charlap began playing the piano at age three. His father was Broadway composer Moose Charlap, whose credits include Peter Pan, and his mother is singer Sandy Stewart, who appeared on the Ed Sullivan and Perry Como shows and earned a Grammy nomination for her recording of "My Coloring Book." In 2006, Mr. Charlap and Ms. Stewart released the acclaimed CD, Love Is Here to Stay on Blue Note; their second release, Something to Remember, on Ghostlight, was released this past January. They have appeared at The Oak Room at the Algonquin Hotel and Feinstein's at the Regency and they have won New York Bistro and Nightlife awards. In February 2012, they appeared on the 92Y Jazz series.
Mr. Charlap is married to renowned jazz pianist Renee Rosnes. The two artists often collaborate in a duo piano setting. In 2010, Mr. Charlap and Ms. Rosnes made Double Portrait, released on the Blue Note label and recorded at 92nd Street Y.

Saxophonist and composer Jon Gordon is a winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk Competition. He has appeared with leading jazz ensembles and soloists, including Benny Carter, Maria Schneider, Phil Woods, Clark Terry and the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. He is one of New York's standout jazz artists, and he regularly appears as a member of the Jazz Nativity. Mr. Gordon's last CD, Evolution, was selected as one of the Top 10 Jazz CDs of 2009 by numerous critics and magazines, and DownBeat selected his previous CD, Within Worlds, as one of the best jazz CDs of the decade. This past March, Mr. Gordon released his memoir, For Sue, which is now in its second printing, and Colin Music will release his two books on improvisation. Among the features of his website, jongordonmusic.com, is an online lesson project.

Ice jams along the shoreline near Marblehead lighthouse drew the attention of visitors on a sunny Friday afternoon.
Ice Ice Baby
The ice is beautiful, but very dangerous !! It makes my heart cringe watching these people walking on this ice. This ice can open up and the people could fall in the water, then the ice will close over them, drowning them. In Huron, when I was a child, I lost a friend in just this way. They found his body on the beach, in the spring. Every bone in his body had been crushed, by the ice. THERE IS NO SAVING A PERSON, WHEN THEY GO UNDER THIS KIND OF ICE !!!!!! The ice is beautiful in this form, but it is deadly !!!!!!!! Use your common sense, stay off the ice.............
good advice.
Agree.. there can be voids between the cakes... or loose cakes that give way under one's weight.
Worse when snow covers these.
Wow, kind of looks blue in some of the photos. Much better than alge green.
The ice looks blue because it's a lot more clear. Reason: After the lake ices over there is no more wave action to stir up sediment... instead the sediment falls to the bottom leaving the water clear. The longer the ice cover, the clearer the water.
When the ice breaks up, the water under is very clear. until it gets windy.
Sometimes, it's just worth it.
And another thing...
Took a drive over today...YES, very pretty. Soon Marblehead will be alive again!

Ten years ago, a young Aussie scored two points on his Australian Grand Prix debut for the little Italian team known as Minardi. On Sunday at the Qantas Australian Grand Prix, another young Aussie did exactly the same thing for the team that turned from Minardi into Scuderia Toro Rosso – and did it after a first lap that could hardly have been more disastrous.
Mark Webber's two points on debut in 2002 remains one of the most memorable moments in Albert Park history, but Daniel Ricciardo's dream of scoring on his home debut looked to be over before it began.
The West Australian made a slow start from 10th on the grid and found himself in the middle of a first-corner crash that involved Bruno Senna.
The Brazilian's Williams was sent skywards after the clash, after which Ricciardo limped back to the pits for a new front nose and re-joined in 21st place.
The 22-year-old spent much of the race in the lower midfield, but a safety car as a result of Vitaly Petrov's Caterham expiring on the start-finish straight on lap 37 brought him back into contention for points.
Ricciardo was 12th and pushing teammate Jean-Eric Vergne on the final lap before Pastor Maldonado crashed the Williams at Turn 6 while in sixth place.
Nico Rosberg's Mercedes slowed to a crawl moments later.
Ricciardo then passed Vergne at Turn 13 and powered through the final three corners to take a remarkable ninth place, edging Paul Di Resta's Force India by one-tenth of a second after 94 minutes of racing.
Ricciardo admitted to being a little stunned at how he managed to finish in the points after a manic final lap.
"It's mixed emotions for me, but the final emotion was good!" he beamed afterwards.
"To get into the points on the final lap was a great result, and the race pace today was actually very good. For us to come back from where we did is a huge result.
"Keeping my nose clean would have made it much better, but to get this result … if we can continue this pace in the next few races, we'll definitely be getting some more points."
Ricciardo admitted he thought his much-anticipated home Grand Prix wouldn't even last one lap after his Turn 1 trouble.
"The start wasn't exactly in my plans, and I was just grateful that I could continue because I had a pretty heavy contact, and I'm sure there was more damage than just the front wing," he said.
"Maybe it could have been better, but it was great to come back the way we did."
Ricciardo's first race at home has been a whirlwind week of press and sponsor appearances and adulation from the fans on a level that he's never before experienced. He says he'll be buzzing from his points finish for a while yet, but admits that a good rest sometime in the coming days before next Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix is on the agenda.
"There's been all sorts of emotions that have passed through me this weekend, and in some ways it'll make the rest of the season seem a lot easier," he said.
"In that aspect it was good to get the race out of the way, but the last week has been awesome, and I wouldn't have changed it for anything."

These gorgeous bonbons from Jin Patisserie of Venice, California, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week, bear zero resemblance to the chocolate first experienced by the Spanish Conquistadors. These: among the most delicious confections in America, are filled with fondant flavors like Ginger, Green Jasmine, Lemongrass and Roasted Black Sesame. The original chocolate was also exotic, but a bitter, unsweetened beverage mixed with pepper, chili pepper, musk, vanilla and cornmeal. It was enjoyed by the Aztecs but so unpalatable to the Europeans, they spat it on the ground.

From Pod to Palate Part I: A Brief History Of Chocolate
Page 4: The First Chocolate Bar
This is Page 4 of a four-page article. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
The First Chocolate Bar
The first chocolate bars date to 1847 to Joseph Fry & Son in Bristol, England. In 1789, Fry had purchased a Watts steam engine to grind cacao; but it wasn't until 58 years later that his great-grandson thought to see what happened if he mixed some of the pressed cocoa butter back along with some sugar back into the dutch cocoa cakes. He pressed the mixture into a mold, and the chocolate bar—then called "eating chocolate" to distinguish it from "drinking chocolate" was born.
Continued industrial inventions enabled an expansion in efficient production of chocolate bars, which increased their availability and variety (including the inspired addition of nuts). Cocoa powder enabled the addition of chocolate to recipes: In 1866 chocolate cream desserts and cookies appeared in British shops. Milk chocolate was invented in 1875 by Daniel Peter of Vevey, Switzerland, who finally solved the problem that had vexed many by mixing chocolate with powdered milk instead of whole milk or cream.
The milk chocolate Naga truffles from
Chicago's Vosges Haut Chocolat is flavored
with sweet Indian curry and coconut.
By the 20th century, chocolatiers had mastered the transformation of chocolate into the sophisticated repertoire we enjoy today. The first filled chocolates were created by Séchaud Fils in Montreaux, Switzerland in 1913. The first white chocolate was manufactured by Nestlé in the 1930s. Truffles, bonbons with fillings, ganache (mixed cream and chocolate), chocolate bars in myriad varieties, chocolate-covered specialties from glazed fruit to coffee beans, molded and sculpted chocolates of every description, filled the chocolate shops of the world.
With the complexity of flavors and aromas in fine chocolates (as many as 400 different aromas and flavors have been identified), chocolate connoisseurship now can be equated to wine connoisseurship on several levels.
As with vineyards, the soil and microclimate of each plantation or growing area provide distinct flavors and aromas, which also are impacted by the harvest's particular weather conditions. In 1984 the first chocolate bars to designate the region of origin of the bean were introduced. Now the best bars of some fine manufacturers are designated by their specific plantations ("pure origin"); and some are even designated by their harvest years. As Americans have developed their preferences for wine beyond "red" and "white," so too are chocolate lovers educating themselves beyond "dark" and "milk."
The century ended with the celebration of "nouvelle" chocolates. Chocolatiers have provided chocolate-lovers with combinations beyond the traditional additions of fruits and nuts. Now, there you can have both couverture and fillings infused with international flavors like wasabi, saffron, lavender, anise, paprika, curry, peppercorns and Ancho chili—proving that everything old is new again.

Josh: Let me echo previous posts, very very nice website. I've been through the web design deal for my business and know the effort you took in developing yours. Good job! And, it's really impressive to see someone trying to expand their business.
Let me offer a few thoughts based on my experience with a website:
- it looks like you have at least two market segments, 1) small specialty items and 2) larger custom work. The first can be mass marketed, e.g. internet sales & shipped easily. The second, is likely more localized due to the customized nature of the work and perhaps shipping costs (thought that may not always be the case).
- The question is: how do you find your customers for each of those markets? The website has the potential to find customers, but the trick is in how the search engine sees your website. Be sure to take time with your web developer to optimize how a search engine sees your site.
- Consider using Ebay as a marketing tool. I've seen a number of companies that offer products for sale with the idea that they "sell" their company's services along with the product. Often the products are sold at a discount to attract buyers for their other products & services.
- Don't worry about those that have difficulty with Dial-up service. Frankly, that is becoming a smaller and smaller portion of internet users.
Here's what I'm going to do for you - and I hope others will do the same - I'm going to think about people I know that may be interested in your products and forward your website reference to them. Then, if you can maintain a satisfied customer list, you'll find that your website will pay off in huge dividends.

Hey Bob,
Thanks for the very thoughtful post! I'd say you nailed a lot of my thoughts right on the head.
The big stuff is mostly for sale locally.....but if you've watched the news lately you know there isn't much money being spent in the Detroit area on "extras" This entire operation is fairly new to me, nearly everything I've made has been in the last year. If I were to build the site again right now, I'd put more of the focus on the bikes and smaller sculptures.....at the time I'd only made a dozen or so bikes and a couple of buckles, and that wine rack was my wife's 2008 christmas gift.
A couple things that have helped me out on the web-search front are that my flickr photo account and etsy store both show up on a lot of web searches. I went that way at the advice of my web guys as a tool to cut costs(as opposed to having my site host the pics and the store), but it's been a great way to get my "name" out there too.
I half-heartedly tried the ebay thing, and perhaps I'll try it again in the future. It just seems like it's easy to get lost and lumped in with a lot of the junk that is sold on there. I know there is a lot of quality and unique stuff available through ebay, but I'd lie if I said that it wasn't discouraging to see my stuff pop up next to a piece of metal art that was made to a blueprint's specs in a factory in taiwan.
I've also gotten mentioned in a few blogs in the last two months, and that's been cool! Hopefully a few more will pick up on it.
For the most part everything has developed pretty naturally. I made christmas gifts for my family last year, posted some pics on a local car website(www.motownmuscle.com), and got a ton of positive feedback. Then I made some money doing side jobs last spring and put that money into the website. Now I'm staying busy through my site, and especially through people like you who see my work/site and think it's cool and spread the word! I'm laid off right now, looking for my next "career" move, and doing this work is keeping me sane!
It's all kind of a work in progress. I like making art that is cool and unique, but I don't want to price it out of everyone's reach. At the same time, when everything I make is essentially one-off, it's difficult to price it in the same ballpark as guys who stick to a certain design or look or whatever, and make 10 or 50 or 100 or more of each item. Right now I think I'm pretty affordable, but I may have some choices to make regarding how I do things pretty soon.
Any way, I'm welding. And that's what I love doing more than anything
P.S. And thanks to anyone who has checked out www.browndogwelding.com out and passed it on, I really do appreciate it!
I'm impressed with your approach, you are doing what a lot of folks could or should do when the traditional job market dries up.
You are probably right about Ebay, it's easy to get lost in the crowd. There is a local appliance retail store that used the "sell-one-cheap" as a way to become recognized. It works fairly well for them.
Another thought: how about contacting, say, local motorcycle shops or those that have websites and marketing your miniatures through them. If possible you might try specializing in Harley, BMW or Indian, etc. to gain a niche.
How about marketing the wine racks to companies that sell wine, locally or on the internet? I like your curved "S" shaped design, that should sell well. How about customizing the racks to a wine shop's specifications - number of bottles, added decorative designs, etc.? Perhaps consider private labeling the wine racks with the wine shop's name on them.
Keep us posted on how things are going.MTBob

Very Nice
I like the design, & content a lot.
Not intending to hijack the thread, but I saw a couple of questions about "How do you do that?" A really nice program that is pretty easy to use is the CoffeeCup HTML Editor. Cost is $49. Pretty good online documentation & help. I am a user & not affiliated with them. I have tried several different programs, & like this one best.
I'm done.

Nice site
hey Man Great looking site great load time on my um if you wanna call it highspeed connection great works props to you and your designers

A French hacker has released a tool capable of sending SMSes with spoofed sender details on the iPhone 4.
The sendrawpdu command line interface tool allows users to customise the reply number on SMSes and could be ideal for phishing attacks.
The hacker, known as pod2g, released the free tool after detailing a flaw in the way the iPhone handled SMSes which made it possible to spoof sender details.
"Pirates could send a message that seems to come from the bank of the receiver asking for some private information, or inviting them to go to a dedicated [phishing] website," pod2g said in a blog.
The vulnerability existed on other mobile devices and all versions of Apple's iOS platform including the upcoming iOS 6, according to pod2g.
"If the destination mobile is compatible with (User Data Header features), and if the receiver tries to answer the text, he will not respond to the original number, but to the specified one," pod2g wrote.
"Most carriers don't check this part of the message, which means one can write whatever he wants in this section.
"In a good implementation of this feature, the receiver would see the original phone number and the reply-to one. On iPhone, when you see the message, it seems to come from the reply-to number, and you lose track of the origin."
Apple urged customers to use its iMessage service because it verified the address from which messages were sent, unlike its SMS app which displayed the vulnerable reply-to address.
iMessages were only available between iOS and OS X devices.
"When using iMessage instead of SMS, addresses are verified which protects against these kinds of spoofing attack, Apple said in a statement.
"One of the limitations of SMS is that it allows messages to be sent with spoofed addresses to any phone, so we urge customers to be extremely careful if they're directed to an unknown website or address over SMS."
Website SMSspoofing.com pointed out that dozens of paid SMS spoofing services exist online, and said Australia and Europe were "two of the easiest places to spoof SMS messages to".
Senddrawpdu was based on sendmodem and could be downloaded for jailbroken iPhone 4 devices from github.

Alexander Rossi plans to make the most of his Friday run in America as he looks to put himself on the shop window...
Alexander Rossi plans to make the most of his Friday run in America as he looks to put himself on the shop window.
The American racer will drive a Caterham CT03 during Friday's first practice at the Circuit of the Americas, a track he knows quite well.
However, the outing is about more than just help Caterham develop their car, it's also about helping Rossi develop as a driver as he looks to secure a full-time berth in Formula One.
"This is an important time in my career and the sport for America and another major step forward for me, to drive FP1 in my home country, in front of my own friends, family, supporters and fans," said the 22-year-old.
"It means a lot to me that the team is giving me this opportunity, while trusting me with the responsibility and I want thank everyone who's helped make this possible.
"I've already driven COTA several times, including in a classic grand prix car, so I know the layout well, but driving a current-season F1 car is a bit different altogether and on grand prix weekend it's a very important responsibility. With the amount of F1 testing I've already done over the last few years, I'm fully prepared to do the best job for the team in FP1.
"As it's an official practice session it's important that I help the team as much as possible to set the car up right for the rest of the weekend, while, for me, this is another chance to use the session to continue to learn, develop and progress towards the next step up to being the next full-time F1 race driver."

Federal Legislation & Libraries
All types of libraries–public, school, academic, federal and research–are resources the American public use to find jobs, support education and lifelong learning, gain access to information and telecommunications services, empower their families, and engage in civic activities. By promoting literacy, advancing research and connecting communities, libraries serve as "agents for change" and offer individuals at all stages of life and in all types of communities access to information and education and to develop essential skills needed to function in the digital age.
The role of the American Library Association's Washington Office is to advocate at the federal level for legislation that preserves and promotes fundamental library values by lobbying Congress, partnering and working with others "inside the Beltway" and beyond and engaging in grassroots advocacy on behalf of the public.
Key legislative issues
- Access legislation
- Copyright legislation
- Elementary and Secondary Education Act & Libraries (ESEA)
- Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)
- Federal Library Funding
What is federal funding? Federal funding is the money for libraries that comes from the U.S. government. The majority of federal library program funds are distributed through the Institute of Museum and Library Services to each state.
