However Maidenhead have done extremely well since they sold him. Beat Tranmere last night and are only four points off top spot. They must have a bit of money to spend in January if they're near the play-offs and really want to push for another promotion. Would their ground be up to football league standards?

When it comes to your Ranger Trail trailer, our Road Armor technology defends against virtually every normal road hazard and keeps the trailer frame and axles looking new. That much you might already know... But more than that, the science behind our patented Road Armor trailer finish is so strong that its industrial applications are virtually limitless. Technically considered a "polyurea" material, the Road Armor coating used on your Ranger Trail trailer is the same technology used by State DOT's across the nation to protect bridges, manholes and sewer systems – used by the railway industry to line liquid container cars and protect tanks from corrosion. The list goes on and on…
Our commitment to technological innovation isn't just marketing spin. It's part of who we are – and you can count on us to continue building the most scientifically advanced boats and trailers on the planet.

THE MENACE of air piracy must be met--immediately and effectively. I am therefore announcing the following actions to deal with this problem:
1. To protect United States citizens and others on U.S. flag carriers, we will place specially trained, armed United States Government personnel on flights of U.S. commercial airliners. A substantial number of such personnel are already available and they will begin their duties immediately. To the extent necessary they will be supplemented by specially trained members of the Armed Forces who will serve until an adequate force of civilian guards has been assembled and trained. We will also make antisabotage training available to airlines personnel.
2. I have directed the Department of Transportation to have American flag carriers extend the use of electronic surveillance equipment and other surveillance techniques to all gateway airports and other appropriate airports in the United States and--wherever possible--in other countries. The Federal Government will provide enforcement officers to work with this equipment, to conduct searches when appropriate, and to make necessary arrests. Such equipment and techniques have already helped to reduce the problem of air piracy in many areas.
3. I have directed the Departments of Transportation, Treasury, and Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Office of Science and Technology, and other agencies to accelerate their present efforts to develop security measures, including new methods for detecting weapons and explosive devices. At the same time, the Departments of Defense and Transportation will work with all U.S. airlines in determining whether certain metal detectors and x-ray devices now available to the military could provide immediate improvement in airport surveillance efforts. To facilitate passenger surveillance, appropriate agencies of the Federal Government will intensify their efforts to assemble and evaluate all useful intelligence concerning this matter and to disseminate such information to airlines and law enforcement personnel.
4. I am directing the State Department and other appropriate agencies to consult fully with foreign governments and foreign carriers concerning the full range of techniques which they use to foil hijackers. Some foreign airlines--though they are particularly susceptible to hijacking-have been successful in deterring hijackers and in coping with piracy attempts. We want to learn all we can from their experience.
5. It is imperative that all countries accept the multilateral convention providing for the extradition or punishment of hijackers which will be considered at the International Conference which will be held under the auspices of the International Civil Aviation Organization. I affirm the support of the United States both for this Convention and for the Tokyo Convention, which provides for the prompt return of hijacked aircraft, passengers, and crew. I call upon other governments to become parties to these conventions.
I further call upon the international community to take joint action to suspend airline services with those countries which refuse to punish or extradite hijackers involved in international blackmail. For this purpose and in order to consider other ways and means of meeting this new international menace, I have directed the Secretary of State to ask the President of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization immediately to convene that Council in an emergency meeting.
6. It is the policy of the United States Government to hold the countries in which hijacked planes are landed responsible for taking appropriate steps to protect the lives and the property of U.S. citizens.
7. An additional indication of our deep concern with the hijacking menace is the request which the United States and the United Kingdom made earlier this week for an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council to consider this problem. I am gratified by the unanimous action of the Security Council in calling upon the parties concerned immediately to release all hijacked passengers and crews. I am pleased, too, that the Security Council has asked all nations to take all possible legal steps to protect against further hijackings or other interference in international civil aviation.
These are not the only steps we will take in the coming months to meet the threat of airplane hijacking. But they do provide a decisive program for the immediate future. The Secretary of Transportation will direct this program and take responsibility for preparing further proposals. In this capacity he will work closely with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Defense.
Piracy is not a new challenge for the community of nations. Most countries, including the United States, found effective means of dealing with piracy on the high seas a century and a half ago. We can--and we will--deal effectively with piracy in the skies today.
On September 21, 1970, the White House released the transcript of a news briefing by John A. Volpe, Secretary of Transportation, on the appointment of Lt. Gen. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr., as Director of Civil Aviation Security, Department of Transportation, and on the administration's program to deal with hijacking.

General Manager & CEO: Mid-South Synergy
As leaders of electric cooperatives and members of our communities, it is important to keep our members informed when polices and regulations will impact the quality of their lives. Our continued political engagement and building of relationships is vital to our collective success in Washington D.C. and our state capitals. I encourage all of our employees and members to stay engaged in our local and national politics."
Government Affairs Specialist, Tennessee Electric Cooperative Association
Member engagement is important because as co-op employees, we work for them. Electric cooperatives are much more than a utility company to their members and it's important that they know that. If we aren't communicating with our members and advocating for electric cooperative values, we become obsolete."
Legislative Affairs Director, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives
We want to encourage co-op members to be involved in the political process. It is vitally important for them to be engaged in their communities and to be involved in decisions that impact their lives. They need to make their voice heard."
The Farm Bill is critical legislation for rural America. In addition to provisions important to farming, trade, research, nutrition and conservation, it contains tools that help electric cooperatives perform some of our most basic functions.
America's Electric Cooperatives oppose selling the PMAs and TVA, or any assets owned by those entities, to raise revenue for the federal government.
America's Electric Cooperatives support legislative efforts to increase access to affordable and reliable broadband in areas where we serve.
We electrified rural America 75 years ago. Now we will electrify vehicles and homes and water heaters and provide a path toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. Energy is us.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The Rev. Frank Pavone, national director of Priests for Life in New Dorp, has a battle cry, "Sue the hell out of the Obama Administration," in response to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services mandate about contraception that is being challenged by the Archdiocese of New York.
Father Pavone described as "encouraging" a ruling on Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn rejecting the argument of the agency that the lawsuit filed by the Archdiocese of New York was premature and should be dismissed. The leader of Priests for Life predicted that the issue, which has inspired 40 lawsuits from various religious groups, ultimately will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
As reported by EWTN News, the judge said "uncertain future harms" have present effects that are sufficient to grant standing needed to challenge the federal regulation. Cogan also compared the mandate to a "speeding train that is coming toward plaintiffs" that requires them to incur present costs ahead of the mandate's implementation.
"This ruling is encouraging to Priests for Life because we have a lawsuit against the same mandate, here in the same federal court," Father Pavone said.
"The judge has recognized what we have been maintaining all along, namely, that we don't have to wait for further harm to defend ourselves now."
The federal mandate requires most employers with 50 or more workers to provide--with no co-pay-- insurance coverage for sterilization and contraceptives. Organizations that violate the federal rule, including Priests for Life, must pay fines of $100 per employee per day.
But Father Pavone also noted that different courts have issued widely divergent rulings as they take up 40 lawsuits against the mandate. Even Cogan ruled against the Diocese of Rockville Centre (L.I.) and its Catholic Charities organization in Wednesday's decision.
"The differences in these rulings suggest that the U.S. Supreme Court may have the final word on this unjust situation," Father Pavone said.
"I remain certain that the Supreme Court will have no choice but to rule in favor of religious freedom, and against this unjust mandate.
"I encourage other dioceses and ministries to jump into the fray. Don't be afraid of the battle. We should sue the hell out of the Obama Administration."
Father Pavone encouraged people to sign the "Citizens' Amicus Brief" at Priestsforlife.org.
"We are pleased that Judge Cogan has allowed the lawsuit to proceed with the Archdiocese of New York, ArchCare, and CHSLI, and we look forward to proceeding to the merits of our claims," said Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of New York. "It is noteworthy that, with this decision, the Court has recognized that the Archdiocese of New York and other plaintiffs in this case are facing current and imminent harm from the Government's contraception coverage mandate."

Even Japan, Where Abuse Is Low, Needs the Truth About Drugs
Concerns about rising drug use prompt Japanese Scientologists to double their drug education and prevention efforts
According to this year's World Drug Report of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Japan has fewer drug users than most other countries.
But Japanese officials and national police are still concerned. In August, Naoto Takeuchi of Japan's National Police Agency expressed apprehension over "an alarming increase of drugs coming from North Korea" and how this could impact society.
As a result, The Truth About Drugs booklets have become a popular and effective tool in combating drug abuse. Japanese Scientologists gather on weekends in busy neighborhoods to hand out copies.
The most popular drug in Japan is methamphetamine, with marijuana, amphetamines and Ecstasy becoming more fashionable. And recently, the use of dangerous synthetic marijuana has been on the rise.
Scientologists from the Church of Scientology of Tokyo, working with nongovernmental organizations, educators and public officials, are countering this trend through consistent drug education and prevention activities.
Using the Truth About Drugs curriculum materials, volunteers from the Church of Scientology of Tokyo have reached tens of thousands of children and teens through drug education lectures in Japanese schools. They organize drug abuse prevention workshops and symposia, see to the airing of the "They Said, They Lied" public service announcements on Japanese TV, and produce a drug education radio show.
Their actions are part of an international movement to eliminate drug abuse and addiction. The Church of Scientology has published a new brochure, Scientology: How We Help—The Truth About Drugs, Creating a Drug-Free World, to meet requests for more information about the drug education and prevention initiative it supports. To learn more or to read a copy of the brochure, visit the Scientology website at Scientology.org/antidrug.
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "The planet has hit a barrier which prevents any widespread social progress—drugs and other biochemical substances. These can put people into a condition which not only prohibits and destroys physical health but which can prevent any stable advancement in mental or spiritual well-being."
The Church of Scientology supports the Truth About Drugs, one of the world's largest nongovernmental drug education and prevention campaigns. It has been conclusively proven that when young people are provided with the truth about drugs—factual information on what drugs are and what they do—usage rates drop commensurately.

Multistep Tape Diagrams, Part 1
Lesson 5 of 13
Objective: SWBAT solve multi-step ratio problems, using tape diagrams.
Big Idea: Tape diagrams can show ratio relationships and be used to reason about solutions to problems.
Think About It
The Think About It problem in this lesson is one that students have difficulty solving. The goal of this problem is not to have students getting all the way to the answer. Rather, I want students to read and annotate the problem and persevere.
Students work in pairs on the Think About It problem. My expectation is that they annotate the problem and then create a tape diagram to represent the original ratio. After 3 1/2 minutes of work time, I bring the class together for a discussion about this problem. I ask students what the problem is asking us to find, what we know, how we can model the given information, and then for any ideas pairs had for finding the original amount of green paint.
I then use this problem to start off the Intro to New Material section.
Resources (1)
Intro to New Material
The Intro to New Material section starts with the Think About It problem. I model for students how to use a tape diagram to find the original amount of green paint. Students already have their tape diagrams started, showing the original ratio of yellow to blue paint.
I ask students what else we know in this problem, beyond the original ratio of yellow to blue paint. Students identify the fact that more blue paint is added, and that the added blue paint makes the amount of yellow and blue paints equal.
I model for students how to add 4 rectangles to the row of the tape diagram that represents the blue paint. To help them keep organized, I teach students to leave a small space between the starting blue paint and the added blue paint. I also have students bracket off the new part of the tape diagram, as another way to help them make sense of the problem.
Once I've finished the paint problem on my own, we move on to the second problem in the Intro to New Material section. The scenario in this problem, about Hawaiian pizza, is one that students worked with yesterday. I guide students through this problem, but have them help me make sense of the problem. I ask them what we know, how we can represent the information, what do the new rectangles represent, etc. I do retain most of the control during this problem.
Resources (1)
This lesson can be difficult for students. Because of this, I facilitate a Guided Practice portion of this lesson, instead of partner practice (which most of my lessons have).
For the first problem in the Guided Practice, I call on students to help work out this problem, step-by-step. Because I am still building confidence in the process at this point, I call on raised hands. I am asking:
- What does the ratio mean in this problem?
- What is the value of each part? How do you know?
- If both terms have the same amount, how would this be represented in a tape diagram?
- How do you use the value that is added to find each part?
- What does it look like when we add this to our tape diagram?
- How do we find the value of each part of the tape diagram?
- What is the question asking you to find?
- How do we use the diagram to help us answer this question?
For the second problem, I move to cold-call. The question I ask students, as I call on them, is 'what next?' My goal here is to have students own the problem-solving process, from start to finish.
For the third problem, I have pairs work together to solve the problem (if students struggle during the cold-call of problem 2, I will keep the class together for more guided practice).
Finally, students independently complete the Check for Understanding problem. A sample CFU problem is included here.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Independent Practice
Students work on the Independent Practice problem set. As they work, I am looking for:
- Are students correctly creating tape diagram from a given ratio with equally sized rectangles and labeling?
- Are students correctly drawing the added quantity to the tape diagram with equal parts for both terms?
- Are students including a bracket and label for the new portion?
- Are students correctly solving for each part or total using division or multiplication?
- Are students showing clear, logical work?
I pay special attention to whether students are answering the specific question(s) being asked in each problem. Some students may try to always identify the original amount.
Resources (1)
Closing and Exit Ticket
After 10 minutes of independent work time, I bring the class back together for a debrief. I ask for 2 students to show off a problem solution, allowing them to pick from problems 1 - 4. Each students shows his/her work on the document camera, and explains the solution to the class.
Students then work independently on the Exit Ticket to end the lesson. The sample exit ticket shows a strong student response.

GB is out of town for the next few days, and while I do miss him, there's a joy in being all by myself, doing exactly as I wish. Which mostly involves not wearing pants (which I can do even when he's home, fortunately) and playing with my Wii. (I also play with the homophone of my Wii pretty frequently when he's away.)
And while I won't say I'm exactly a slovenly person, let's just say I only make the bed because he prefers it that way, and I'm not bothering to wash the dishes tonight. (Though honestly, I do feel lucky to date someone who doesn't believe in leaving dirty dishes in the sink overnight.) To my credit, I do still flush even when I'm by myself. Even when it's just number one!
I love being part of a couple; in fact, I can't imagine my life any other way anymore. But is there anything wrong with reveling in fake singlehood (without all the wild sex that used to entail) for a few days? (Okay, occasional wild sex. And mostly with myself.)
I don't think so. Now pass me a beer and hand me my Rock Band guitar.

|John Riley reviews the Olympus XZ-1.
There is a definite demand for a high quality compact camera that remains compact enough to carry in a jacket pocket. These do not generally come cheap and to join the fray alongside such offerings as the Nikon Coolpix P7000 and Canon Powershot G12 here we have Olympus with their new XZ-1. This new camera stands out from the norm in sporting a very fast f/1.8 - 2.5 zoom lens. This suggests it is suitable for low light shooting and no doubt to help reduce noise levels the larger than average sensor is only a 10Mp chip. Let us see if the XZ-1 lives up to its promise.
Olympus XZ-1: Features
The aluminium and plastic XZ-1 houses a larger than average 1/1.63in CCD with 10Mp. The Olympus i.Zuiko Digital zoom lens is an f/1.8 - 2.5 6.0-24.0mm optic, equivalent to 28-112mm in 35mm film camera terms. The only viewfinder supplied as standard is the rear 3in Organic LED (OLED) monitor with 610,000 dots.
AF uses contrast detection and offers various modes plus an AF illuminator for use in low light. There is an image stabilisation system of the sensor shift type, but this is specified at offering just 2EV advantage, rather less than the 4EV suggested for the average DSLR.
A vast array of exposure modes, scene modes, art filters and flash modes is on offer and the range of options here is very much what we might expect from any top line camera.
For the experienced photographer there is a full array of shooting modes, including Av, Tv and M options that are readily accessed from a top dial. There is another click-stopped dial around the lens that changes the primary setting in any given mode. So, for example, in Av it changes the aperture.
The movie mode offers HD 1280x720 resolution in 16:9 ratio, with a maximum recording time of just 7 minutes in HD. There is also a maximum file size of 2Gb.
All of this is housed in a sturdily made body measuring 110.6 x 64.8 x 42.3mm and weighing 275g without battery or SD card. Power supply is a Li-ion battery pack LI-50B which is expected to allow 320 images per charge.
The lens is very interesting, offering a maximum aperture of f/1.8. This is fast for a modern lens and especially for a 4x zoom lens. It only becomes possible with the smaller than DSLR sensor size and this does open up new possibilities in low-light shooting.
Olympus XZ-1: Handling
The XZ-1 is actually a pleasure to use. The controls are small and fiddly but mostly quite resistant to being turned accidentally. Having said that I would prefer slightly firmer click stops on both the mode dial on top of the camera and the adjustment dial that encircles the lens. The ring that circles the four way selector switch in my opinion is more trouble than it's worth as it is far too sensitive. If this could be removed the handling of the camera would not suffer and might even slightly improve.
The camera fits a large coat or jacket pocket with no problem and can be brought into operation very quickly indeed. The controls fall well into their natural positions and there are no glaring operational glitches. The menu system for most of the settings is a little messy I think, but with practice it is usable enough. It follows the general Olympus pattern along with their other compact and DSLR cameras, so it makes sense for Olympus users to stick with the company for all of their camera requirements. In that way, operation of one camera will be pretty much the same as operation of any of them.
Olympus XZ-1: Performance
Having now handled a few Olympus cameras, they seem to share a very similar approach to exposure metering. The XZ-1 follows the pattern and produces what I would consider to be fully exposed but slightly light results. This is not in itself a problem as it can either be adjusted in Photoshop or a small amount of exposure compensation can be dialled in.
Exposures against the light are also well handled, but in any event exposure compensation can be applied where necessary. Principally this will be for unusually light or dark subjects and it rarely exceeds plus or minus 0.7EV.
ESP (Matrix), centre weighted and spot options are provided and all produce a very similar density when used correctly. If the user is in any doubt they will not go far wrong by leaving the camera set to ESP metering. Using centre weighted metering usually removes any chance of over exposing a frame and using spot metering will be invaluable when perhaps shooting stage shows and similar events.
It is worth noting that the excellent OLED screen does reflect quite closely the final exposure of the image. This means that unlike many compact cameras the screen can give a good idea of what the density of the final image will look like.
The contrast detection system is not going to be as fast as a DSLR but this is improving all the time and the Olympus XZ-1 is no slouch. Focusing is medium-fast but it is entirely predictable. It takes the same time as far as can be judged, every time, and it simply locks on accurately. This is entirely satisfactory for most general subjects and it is only really action photography where it could be a problem. As a carry-anywhere all-purpose camera the AF is spot on every time. This fine performance carries on in even quite dim light, assisted when necessary with an AF illuminator.
ISO and noise performance
Noise is extremely well handled. Up to ISO800 the noise pattern is very effectively suppressed. It is present as the ISO setting is increased but not at all obtrusive. At ISO1600 we notice an even more dramatic increase of noise levels, but it is only when we call on ISO3200 and especially ISO6400 that the noise really kicks in. Interestingly, the clean reproduction of the indoor ISO tests shows some very impressive retention of sharpness and detail, even at the highest setting.
Helpfully, what noise there is is monochromatic, so we do not suffer from a myriad of coloured specks. There is no doubt that camera manufacturers have made a real improvement in the handling of noise.
For the best quality in prints I would be happy shooting at ISO200 and for the web this could be extended to ISO800 without too much loss. For such a compact camera this would not have been achievable even as little as a year ago. This suggests that the decision to restrict the resolution to 10MP is a sound one. Larger photo sites means more signal and lower noise. This appears to be borne out by the excellent noise performance.

Colour Reproduction
I am very pleased with the colour performance of the XZ-1. Skin tones are very pleasing and models will, I think, be delighted with the flattering smoothness. Shooting a wide variety of other subjects it is soon apparent that the colour reproduction is excellent all round.
I am also pleased to report that even fairly garish colours are rendered correctly with no undue tendency to make them appear unpleasant. There is only one exception to this and with a backlit subject it is necessary to be very careful with adjusting the image as there is a tendency for a light sky to turn a very strange colour of blue. I must stress that this is a subtle point but it does indicate that with smaller-than-DSLR sensors there is a limit to their performance. In the case of the XZ-1 the performance in terms of colour is, however, up amongst the best when compared with similarly sized cameras.
Neutrality of colour is also impressive and whites remain a clean white. The greyscale reproduction is excellent, with good separation of tones. In the field this means that images are not subject to any unwanted colour casts.
AWB works very well in most circumstances. If desired, there are also the usual presets available. This can offer additional control of colour outdoors as well as adjustment for specific lighting types.
Outdoor shooting can be enhanced by thinking about the colour of the light, and by using the presets can dramatically enhance what we are looking at. I tried various settings in daylight and all offer a different look to the AWB result. For example, using the Shade setting in normal noon daylight results in incredibly warm, end-of-day images. It is always worth experimenting.
The weakest performance comes when using the fluorescent setting, which renders the image with a most strange magenta cast. AWB performs much better and is a usable alternative to the fluorescent preset option.
Integral Flash/Flash Modes
The usual flash options can be selected and the flash itself has to be manually switched into position. A sliding switch releases the heavily-sprung flash unit which becomes available for use almost instantaneously. Fill in flash in daylight is nicely balanced and the unit in general works well and gives good exposures.
Flash coverage is very even and this holds true from quite close distances to covering an entire room. Recharging is fast.
Buffer/Write Time
The XZ-1 is ready for use within 1 second and this fast performance applies to most of its functions. Write times are not a problem. The buffer seems to be quite able to cope. Sequence shooting in normal mode plods on at a pedestrian 2fps and the buffer seems to hold as long as the photographer has the patience. I gave up at 60 frames as the camera showed no signs of slowing even at that point.
Battery Life
Battery life is quoted at around 320 images, rather perversely being stated as using Live View 50% of the time. There is no alternative to using Live View, so it is quite pleasing to note that 325 shots later with Live View used 100% of the time and plenty of reviewing of images and menus, the battery is still going strong.
Lens Quality
In the 1970s almost every "compact" rangefinder camera sported an f/1.8 lens, most of them very soft wide open. Zoom lenses have made us expect far smaller apertures, so it is very interesting that here Olympus have opted to make a very wide aperture zoom lens. This is possible because the rear element can be close to the sensor and the format is much smaller than a 35mm film frame.
Lens designers make choices and usually the choice has been to make long zoom ranges with modest apertures. Here we have a relatively modest zoom range of 4x and a maximum aperture from f/1.8 at 6mm to f/2.5 at 24mm. This equates to 28mm and 112mm in film format terms.
This is a very acceptable and useful range and it is even more encouraging that the quality holds extremely well.
Quality across the frame is very even and at full aperture the image is already entirely usable. Moving to mid apertures improves sharpness and this again drops off at the minimum aperture of f/8. Beyond f/8 I presume that diffraction effects would seriously hamper performance. However, there is plenty of depth of field on a small format so f/8 is probably as far as we need to go. The option of having a really wide aperture and reduced depth of field in such a small camera is actually quite a compelling notion.
Distortion follows the familiar path of being barrelling at wide angles, giving way to pincushion from the middle of the range onwards to the telephoto end. This is better than many and in most general subjects will not be a concern.
Flare is very well controlled, useful in against the light shots. There is some chromatic aberration, but this too is well controlled and will not normally be noticeable.
The f/1.8 aperture is unique and this is potentially a very powerful tool. There is huge potential for low light photography, plus the promise of some degree of selective depth of field.

California Dreamin'
In 1956, one man had a dream and acted upon it decisively. That man was Charles E. "Chuck" Williams, the founder of what we know today as specialty retailer Williams-Sonoma Inc. Back then Chuck Williams dream was to convert the hardware store he purchased in downtown Sonoma, California into a store devoted to French cookware. He did exactly that. An entrepreneur at heart he took the risks necessary to realize a dream and forged ahead.
By 1958, his hardware store was now selling cookware and culinary utensils. With his annual trips to France, Chuck Williams became interested in classic top-quality French cooking equipment. He introduced a collection of this French cookware to the U.S. market through his store, eventually moving the store to San Francisco in
1958. Williams-Sonoma's first store became the first retailer in the U.S. to carry a collection of this fine French cookware. The second Williams-Sonoma store opened in 1973, in Beverly Hills, California.
Today, the city of San Francisco is still corporate headquarters for this publicly traded company. Williams-Sonoma sells their quality line of products through their retail stores, catalogs, and the internet. They have almost 600 stores, seven mail order catalogs, and six ecommerce websites. They own and operate all their stores, choosing not to go the franchise route at all.
The company operates six retail brands, which cater to providing items for the home. Their six separate brands are Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PB Teen, Williams-Sonoma Home, and West Elm.
Williams-Sonoma Inc. sells casual home furnishings through their Pottery Barns. They sell cooking and entertaining products under Williams-Sonoma, and stylish children's furnishings through Pottery Barn Kids.
Chuck Williams has personally been involved in publishing more then 200 Williams-Sonoma cookbooks as the General Editor for the company's Williams-Sonoma Kitchen Library series. The Williams-Sonoma stores are well-known for their fine selection of quality cookbooks.
In 2007, Mr. Williams, Founder and Director Emeritus, and the current Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Williams-Sonoma Inc. Howard Lester, received the Inc. Magazine Bernard A. Goldhirsh Lifetime Achievement Award.
Chuck Williams exemplified what it meant to take a risk back in 1956. He is an inspiration to entrepreneurs who choose to risk today, in hopes of greater rewards.

Mmmmm, some South Western Love. My recent visit to Arizona brought a great tan, a loving attitude and an appetite for some desert fun. Before going out one evening, I wanted to get some shots with the Mountains in the background. Off of the balcony of my hotel, I did just that. Being out by the pool a few days before, my tan was perfect and my skin felt really good. I felt so sexy! Hope you think so too. xoxo, Amber

Just for you:
Posted: April 13, 2009 | Author: Johanna | Filed under: beans, burgers, cheap, delish, quick, vegetarian | 3 Comments »
Have you found yourself lately thinking, "Y'know, I wish that Joh would post some fun, delicious, progressive recipes for us vegetarians" ?? Have you wondered what in heck you'd eat were you to come to a cookout at my place and not be able to stomach a burger, hotdog, or steak? Are you just hoping that I've finally updated this stinkin' thing, so you can comment on my fabulosity once again??
You're in LUCK!!!
Tonight, through a convergence of circumstances that can most accurately be described as "shite", we had a delicious, nutritious, vegetarian dinner! BlackBean Burgers, with mango chutney!!
THey were delish. Seriously. And so easy!!
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained.
1 tablespoon onion flake reconstituted, or some chopped onion/shallot. Basically by 1 tablespoon, I mean a handful, thrown in a prep bowl with some water to get all fresh again.
chili powder
garlic powder
dried parsley
Everything after the onion should be added to taste. Except the breadcrumbs, which should be a shallow palmful. Less, if you have big palms. You'll have to come measure my palms to get something exact, suckas!!!!!
For those who've been reading along, this is a LOT like my falafel procedure. Smash up or food process the black beans, then add the seasonings and breadcrumbs and process again. Or smash again.
I dusted the patties with a little flour, and pan-fried them in a little vegetable oil (strained from my latest fried pickle exploits….nomnomNOM) until they were crispy on the outside and warm through. I put them on toasted Sandwich Thins, which are by far the most amazing inventions of mankind since fork-split English Muffins. I smeared the bottom of the bun with Mango Chutney that I had in the fridge, and it was heavenly.
These are really good. I'd post a picture, but right now Jesse is using the USB cable to help him build the site for our SuperSecretSideProject, which will be awesome. I promise.
For now, consider making black bean burgers. They're delish. And cheap. very cheap. And when you've just smashed your lovely French Press by knocking it over in an attempt to not break anything else on your countertop….. cheap, tasty, healthy dinner is always for the win.

There are some things I wanted to do with this theme that I did do and others that I didn't. Mostly, I think it turned out all right. One thing I didn't get around to was putting together a "Theme Options" page for the WordPress dashboard. This is something I definitely want to do in a future release. It would make it much easier to customize.
Another thing I wanted to do was create a theme that was better than Visionary. I had a lot of issues (personal) with that theme. I fixed many of those with the Structure theme.
The layout is set on an imaginary 3-column grid, with each grid around 300px wide. The reason I done this was so that a user could take different blocks of content and move them from the sidebar, to the bottom of the home page, and vice versa. There's a lot of things you can play around with, and even add some of your own content in a custom content block. I originally had this idea with Visionary, but couldn't really implement it in the way I wanted because of the size of the sidebar. That's why you'll notice that the video option is different.
You'll definitely see the similarities in the two themes, but this one has much more potential for customization. I think it looks a bit cleaner too. Plus, I wanted to do something in blue. I've worked on this theme for the past month, but didn't figure out what I wanted to do with it until last week. Since then, I've been working non-stop.
There's more jQuery in the theme, and this could potentially be a bad thing for bloggers with a lot of users on slower connections because the jQuery is used to hide tabs. Under these tabs is a lot of information. This could take a little longer to load.
I'm sure there are a gazillion bugs that I need to fix, and I'll get around to them at some point. This first week or so for the theme release is a debugging week. There are so many different options that it would be too hard and take too long to test them all myself.
Now, I'm going to bed. Feel free to report your bugs, complaints, and/or praise in the comments section below. Also, subscribe to the feed to be updated when new content comes out.

Daft Punk, Maurice Sendak, and 6 Other Topics Covered in The Colbert Report's NYCF Panel
Henry Kissinger is a good sport ... right up until you ask him to make a joke about pancakes.
Last night, the New York Comedy Festival held a Q&A with Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report writing staff. In between a fan showing Colbert her tattoo of his signature and little kids asking questions, the team explained how they make the show every night. Over the course of 90 minutes, Colbert and the staff also revealed a slew of fun facts, such as how dogs can smell when Colbert is in character, what Colbert misses most about The Daily Show, what it was like working with Henry Kissinger and Maurice Sendak, and more. Here are eight highlights:
The one cute joke Colbert most wished could've made it on air but didn't was about Daft Punk.
Even before Viacom wouldn't let Daft Punk appear on The Colbert Report, the group had a lot of rules. First they wouldn't perform and then they said they wouldn't talk. So the show wrote a bit in which Colbert talks to their manager with the two Punks in helmets next to him. Colbert: "And I go, 'How do I even know that that's Daft Punk in the helmets? They won't talk and they won't do the song ...' And the line we wrote for him was, 'If that wasn't Daft Punk, they'd be doing the song.'"
Dogs know when Stephen Colbert is in character.
Colbert executive producer Tom Purcell explains that the best proof that Stephen Colbert is different from "Stephen Colbert" is through dogs. The show allows the staff to bring their dogs to the office, and a lot congregate on the third floor, so when "Stephen's in character walking down that hallway, the dogs go crazy — they hate him." However, "When he's sort of gentle, nice regular Stephen they like him fine."
Stephen Colbert on the Maurice Sendak interviews.
Maurice Sendak agreed to do Colbert after years of trying to get him on the show. But before he said yes, Colbert wanted to talk to him on the phone: "I need to know just how altacocker this guy is." He said that Sendak spent the first few minutes just trying to figure out what button to press, despite there being no button for him to press, as they were already connected. Sendak finally came on the phone, apologizing for taking so long to figure out what button to push. To which Colbert replied, "Oh, take your time." Sendak: "I'm 83. Death looms." Colbert: "Maurice, keep it light."
Colbert called it the "greatest phone call [he] ever had." He added, "I hope that interview was as good as the twenty minutes I had with him over the phone, because I got off the phone with him and said, 'I think that's what humans are like!' We're so good at protecting ourselves and how we actually feel about anything. Maurice Sendak reminded me what human beings are like: We're fascinating. We just don't let other people know, but he did. Completely unguarded person, who was not without crafting his answers. He really just didn't care what you thought it."
Colbert admitted that the last of the eight segments they aired with Sendak was "so moving and so touching" that he couldn't watch it or have them play it while they were shooting the episode.
The one joke Henry Kissinger wouldn't do.
When they brought Henry Kissinger on for Guitarmageddon, he was pretty game, reading whatever was on the teleprompter. However, one joke crossed the line. Colbert said that they wanted something to explain why Kissinger would agree to do this "and the line was [as Kissinger] 'Where are my pancakes? I was promised pancakes.'" To which Kissinger quickly said, "No, this is too much."
There weren't always, but there are now trapdoors underneath the desk for when people pop up or when Colbert needs props.
And the most people they had underneath at one time was four.
What Colbert misses from not being on The Daily Show.
"When I was at The Daily Show and I would be at the desk with Jon ... to keep myself from laughing, I would often say, 'Can I make Jon laugh?'" He added, "My favorite thing was trying to crush him. That's the one thing I miss. I miss being at the desk with Jon."
Colbert's favorite reoccurring bit is "Cheating Death with Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A."
"I love the side effects. 'Side effect may include Brain-tooth.'"
"I actually like Morning Joe."
"It's maybe my favorite news show to have been on."

Dear all, from my point of view, we have resolved most issues related to the API document. I think we should go carefully through the document and discuss further steps next week. As i have outlined in the Teleconf today, i am currently updating the web service implementation and in parallel implementing the API as a Firefox Extension. After that, i will come up with a proposal for a automatic test suite. Cheers, Florian _____________________________ Dipl. Inf.

How an egg-shaped room is helping the Danish Commerce Ministry to hatch dozens of creative ideas.
(Business 2.0 Magazine) -- Some call it the egg; others, the submarine. Officially it's the Mind, a whiteboard-walled capsule where Danish policymakers and businesspeople brainstorm together.
Inside the 15-by 12-foot space -- the oval shape is somehow meant to convey a lack of hierarchy and encourage the free flow of ideas -- they discuss business initiatives, existing laws, and anything else that might benefit from public-and private-sector cooperation.
"We wanted to throw a hand grenade into the government process," says Christian Bason, director of the MindLab, an internal consulting group in the Commerce Ministry devoted to improving government efficiency. "Inviting businesses into our space kick-starts things. It makes them part of the government's creative process."
Cooperation and inspiration sound great, but they don't just happen. "We force people in," Bason says. "Not physically. We tell them, 'We want to see 70 to 100 good ideas before you leave.'"To send a letter to the editor about this story, click here.

"Yesterday was his birthday," said James' wife, Denise Walley. "This is an awesome belated birthday gift. Way better than the card I gave him!"
When HGTV's John Gidding knocked on the door yesterday evening to surprise the winner with the news, James was helping his oldest son, age seven, with a homework project, while Denise was finishing up a bath for the couple's youngest son, age two.
"My son ran up to the door and yelled up and down the hallway 'HGTV is here! HGTV is here!'" said James, adding that he and his wife watch so much HGTV that that's how his son knew who was at the door. "[He] must have also noticed the HGTV flag on John's mic."
This year, the third annual HGTV Urban Oasis Giveaway had more than 18 million entries. The Walleys entered twice a day almost every day of the entry period.
James works in the IT department for a national sporting goods chain and says his favorite HGTV shows are Property Brothers and Love It or List It. Denise, who just opened her own medical practice, says she loves the series Property Virgins. As for a move to Miami, the couple said they enjoy the city and have vacationed there before and agree that the location of the home made the contest very attractive.
The two-bedroom condominium includes 2½ baths, a gourmet kitchen and a terrace with exceptional views of Miami Beach, Biscayne Bay and the Port of Miami. The future owner also will enjoy full access to the building's two-story, 6,000-square-foot state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, a 91-foot-long pool that features cabanas, a theater lawn and fire pit, a private sunrise waterfront pool and five-star services such as a concierge and valet.

Madonna has addressed her horror fall onstage at the BRIT Awards in London on Wednesday night (25Feb15), revealing her tight Armani cape was to blame for the tumble.
The pop superstar's performance return to the awards ceremony after 20 years was marred by the fall at the beginning of her set, which prompted audience members to gasp and dancers to surround her after she fell backwards down stairs.
Madonna carried on with the show as if nothing had happened but appeared to be limping during a dance routine, and after her set at the O2 Arena, she took to Instagram.com to assure fans she was OK.
She wrote, "Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine!"

We use dispersion-corrected density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations to predict the ionic, electronic and vibrational properties of the SrTiO3/H2O solid–liquid interface. Approximately 50% of surface oxygens on the planar SrO termination are hydroxylated at all studied levels of water coverage, the corresponding number being 15% for the planar TiO2 termination and 5% on the stepped TiO2-terminated surface. The lateral ordering of the hydration structure is largely controlled by covalent-like surface cation to H2O bonding and surface corrugation. We find a featureless electronic density of states in and around the band gap energy region at the solid–liquid interface. The vibrational spectrum indicates redshifting of the O–H stretching band due to surface-to-liquid hydrogen bonding and blueshifting due to high-frequency stretching vibrations of OH fragments within the liquid, as well as strong suppression of the OH stretching band on the stepped surface. We find highly varying rates of proton transfer above different SrTiO3 surfaces, owing to differences in hydrogen bond strength and the degree of dissociation of incident water. Trends in proton dynamics and the mode of H2O adsorption among studied surfaces can be explained by the differential ionicity of the Ti–O and Sr–O bonds in the SrTiO3 crystal.

Driver, 85, killed in two-car crash near Dundee
An 85-year-old man has died following a two-car collision on the A90 north of Dundee.
Emergency services were called at 13:42 after the collision between a Skoda and a Seat near the Petterden slip road.
The 85-year-old man driving the Skoda was trapped in his car and cut free by firefighters.
A trauma team took him by ambulance to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Police said he would not be named until next of kin had been notified and formal identification had taken place.
The 71-year-old woman driving the Seat car was also taken by ambulance to Ninewells, where she was treated for minor injuries.
Both lanes of the southbound carriageway were closed to allow crash investigators to work at the scene. Traffic was being diverted at the Petterden junction.
Anyone who witnessed the collision has been asked to contact police.
