Knowledge on the importance of ecosystem services has been further enhanced with the completion of two projects focusing on the topic. The pan-European QuESSA (Quantification of Ecological Services for Sustainable Agriculture) project has presented its findings in a brochure summarising its work and recommendations, while a team from INRA (France's National Institute for Agricultural Research) has presented its results on the ecosystem services provided by agriculture as part of the country's EFESE programme (Evaluation Française des Écosystèmes et des Services Écosystémiques).
QuESSA, which included four ENDURE members among its 14 partners, sought to "quantify the key semi-natural habitats (SNH) providing essential ecosystem services (ES) across economically important cropping systems, farming intensities and four European agro-climatic zones."
To achieve this it first identified the most common vegetation types which support potential ES for the major SNH found on farmed land. Ecosystem service providers (pollinators and natural enemies of pests) were measured leading to the development of a scoring system for the main habitat types.
The actual ES provision was measured in 16 case studies in eight countries, with the ES under investigation including control of crop pests by natural enemies, crop pollination, soil erosion, soil fertility and aesthetic value.
"Data was used to develop mathematical models and maps that explored how the amounts, type and location of SNH influenced ES from farm to European scale," reports QuESSA. "Models were also used to explore synergies and trade-offs among ES by SNH from habitat to landscape scale and identify unused opportunities to better exploit ES. Investigations of private and public economic benefits, and non-monetary value of selected ES were conducted."
The brochure accompanying the conclusion of the project provides further details of this work, for example, the work on pollination in sunflower, oilseed rape (OSR), pumpkin and pear, and pest control studies including pollen beetles in OSR and aphids in pumpkin crops.
For both pest control and pollination, QuESSA provides a series of recommendations for farmers, advisers, trainers and policy makers. For example, for pest control, its recommendations include a shift from a curative to a preventive approach to manage pest damage below an economic threshold based on a long-term perspective, the promotion of conservation biological control as an important driver for preserving functional biodiversity in farming landscapes, a greater dissemination of information on important host plants and indigenous natural enemies, free training for farmers and agronomists on conservation biological control and agroecological management of plant and animal communities at both local and landscape scales.
INRA's French study involved a careful evaluation of 14 services provided by agricultural ecosystems (such as climate regulation, pollination, supply of nitrogen to crops etc.), with the final aim of then being better able to manage them and, in particular, reduce inputs. INRA reports that its 'ground-breaking' study paves the way for better ecosystem management but will need to be combined with two other approaches: knowledge on biodiversity and reducing the impact of agricultural practices.
On the supply of nitrogen, for example, the study's experts assessed the amount of mineral nitrogen provided by the soil ecosystem, both through mineralisation and root symbioses. Using INRA's STICS crop model, a comparison of the results obtained between current systems and systems under full mineral fertilisation showed that for France's eight major arable crops, 40 to 50% of the crops' annual input requirements was provided by the ecosystem service. In every case, the results showed that it would be possible to reduce the inputs of mineral fertilisers currently used.

Cross-platform desktop Java applications, JavaFX is not enoughPosted by Marco Dinacci on 0 comments
I just finished to watch the JavaOne 2012 Technical Keynote. Nice, not particularly impressive though. The "Windows moment" (JVM crash) was quite funny. It happens around the 52nd minute I think. No you can't skip and if you advance too much the video won't play. Flash fails.
What bothers me and the motivation why I'm writing this post is the excessive focus on the UI in JavaFX. They made it look like it is the only concern in a multi-platform app is the UI. WRONG.
The UI is only half of the problem. The other half, which becomes more and more complicated thanks to the advent of app stores and sandboxes is the integration with the host OS.
Where do you store application settings and data on Windows, Linux and OSX ?
The era of storing data in the application bundle itself or in
~/.appname or anywhere you want IS OFFICIALLY OVER.
Apple doesn't allow a sandboxed application to mess with the filesystem. Windows 8 won't either. You want to store settings ? put them in
Application Support directory. Want to save documents ? do it in the
Documents folder.
There's more, the problem is not only related to writing data. The OSX and Windows 8 sandboxes only allow you full access in the container (AppData on Windows 8) folder. Want to read the pictures folder ? you need to ask the OS where it is and have an entitlement (capability on Windows) declared in the Info.plist (Manifest file on Windows).
How is a Java application supposed to deal with this in a clean, cross-platform manner ?
Well you can't now, "write once run anywhere"...
They didn't show the dreaded
GateKeeper warning dialog you get when you launch an application coming from an unidentified developer when they demoed their app on OSX. Why ? Because it wasn't sandboxed.
Moneydance is the first OpenJDK, sandbox-compatible app available in the Mac App Store. It took us months to make it ready. I contributed at least four patches to the OpenJDK OSX port, I had to fork and improve AppBundler because Oracle doesn't accept contributions on this Open Source project (unless it's one line of code...), and write native code where no other Java-only solution existed.
This whole process was much more time consuming that tuning the interface to be more OSX-like.
Fancy graphics and animations are pointless if an application can't be executed at all.
Oracle must improve the Desktop API and start eating its own dog food. Release complex software on the Apple App Store and start working towards a solution for the Windows 8 store, where the situation is even grimmer. If Oracle itself doesn't show that it's possible to deploy a Java app on the app stores who will ? We did our part with Moneydance, but it's not enough.
App stores, whether that's good or bad, are becoming the most accepted and simple way to buy software. What is the point of a cross-platform JavaFX app if you can't deploy it ?
I'm planning to start an Open Source project in the next few weeks to attempts to solve the problem of accessing user directories consistently over multiple platforms. I'll post more info once I'll have a foundation ready.

A cache of explosive materials was discovered Sunday night in the apartment of a Wasson High graduate who apparently blew himself up Saturday outside a football stadium packed with 84,000 people at the University of Oklahoma.

Colorado Springs Gazette
Monday, October 3, 2005
Around 7:30 p.m. Saturday night, there was a loud explosion outside Oklahoma Memorial Stadium that was heard as far as five miles away.
Windows at George Lynn Cross Hall, were blown out, which are in the process of being repaired. And, windows to a bus that was parked nearby were also blown out.

Joel Hinrichs father, Joel Hinrichs Jr. said on Sunday that his son had trouble making friends and that he had battled depression.
Hinrichs' father, Joel Henry Hinrichs Jr., said he is clinging to the idea that his son's death was unintentional. He said he communicated with his son and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He said his son was a very intelligent and private individual who somehow lost the confidence that his life would be a good one.
He told The Denver Post that his son had trouble making friends with peers. He said his son took a year off college to try to cope with depression.
Hinrichs' sister, Berkeley Hinrichs, told the newspaper that her brother said he wasn't sure what he wanted to do with his life. She also said it's possible her brother was doing an experiment and did not mean to kill himself.
The university president says it was a lone act of suicide:
Joel Henry Hinrichs III, a 21-year-old junior, was killed when an explosive attached to his body detonated while he sat on a bench across the street from the OU stadium in Norman, Okla., in the second quarter of the Oklahoma-Kansas State game.
The blast was heard throughout the stadium and up to four miles away. No one was allowed out of the stadium for 30 minutes after the explosion, but the game continued.
Sunday afternoon, OU President David Boren said "we are apparently dealing with an individual suicide" and said there was no evidence that Hinrichs planned to harm anyone else. But authorities found numerous explosive materials when they searched his apartment, The Oklahoman newspaper reported in today's editions.
But the information by President Boren doesn't add up…

No "normal" person commits suicide by blowing himself up in public with a backpack full of explosives. Suicide bombers with suicide belts do not generally do so in isolation! How does one learn how to make a suicide bomb belt? A person committing suicide does not usually have a cache of explosives stored up just in case. Where does one look to find instructions for making a suicide belt? Are there any other internet sites besides militant Islamic sites where one can learn how to do this?
Two University of Oklahoma students look at the new bench outside the George Lynn Cross Hall Monday afternoon. The bench was replaced after the suicide bombing from Saturdy night. (Oklahoma Daily)
"In hindsight, the handwriting was on the wall," Joel Hinrichs Jr. said of his youngest son. "He was unhappy in his major (mechanical engineering). He had the energy of a young man, but he didn't have the optimism.
"He lived his life very privately. He was very bright. He was fascinated with technical information and subjects, but evidently did not pick up much confidence on his passage through childhood. He ran out of confidence last night."
Tom Hinrichs, 24, said his brother was lonely and frustrated.
"I was surprised a bit by the details, but on the whole I was not surprised," he said. "He'd always been fascinated with artillery.
"He had real demons that were eating at him, and I told him some things I thought he needed to do, but he had such intense pride it didn't register to him."
Joel III, who went by "Joe," was the youngest of three boys and two girls. His father's job as a software engineer brought the family to Colorado Springs from Illinois, about six years ago. His parents recently separated, and his mother, Elaine, also lives here.
FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson said there is an ongoing and intensive investigation related to Saturday night's events and would not comment about the events concerning Hinrichs' apartment complex.

|Regional motor sport rivalry is nothing new – racing drivers and motorcyclists have fought for supremacy for 60 years or so, something which surprises many outside the Caribbean, who see cricket as the region's major sport. Not so! Organised motor sport has existed since the 1950s, with travel between the territories common even in the early years . . . long before some marketeer coined the phrase 'sports tourism'. There was a short-lived Caribbean Championship in the 1970s, when single-seater racing cars were still common, while the current series has been running for a little over two decades. As it is now titled, the Seaboard Marine Caribbean Motor Racing Championship (CMRC) is fought out over four rounds – each is hosted in a different country, Barbados (which joined the CMRC in 2008), Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago, which returned to the series in 2014, after an eight-year absence. The CMRC is administered by the Caribbean Motor Racing Association, comprising representatives of the host nations, with Seaboard Marine as title sponsor. While the support of Seaboard Marine, which trans-ships the competition machinery and parts around the region, is hugely important, there remain those competitors whose budgets prevent them contesting every round, or whose local race schedules clash. A dropped scores system means they can still achieve a worthwhile result – drivers will count their best nine results from the potential total of 12 races.
In 2018 there will be no Overall Champion – there will be a CMRC Champion in each of the four car Groups and the Superstocks, with Country Championship titles up for grabs on both four and two wheels. There are four Groups for cars:
Group 4 – these are the elite CMRC racing saloon cars, divided from 2016 into 2wd and 4wd classes, with a year-end Champion in each; although retaining recognisable 'stock' appearance, nearly all are purpose-built race cars, with special chassis, unlimited modifications, a maximum capacity of 4500cc and running on full slick racing tyres
Group 3 - introduced in 2015, since when it has seen steady growth, this class has a maximum capacity of 3500cc and also accommodates rotary engines; regulations allow heavily-modified engines and gearboxes, spoilers and wings, the cars run on slick-tyre 'DOT' road legal tyres
Group 2 - dating back to 2010, this class has seen some of the fiercest competition of all right from the start. The regulations are similar to those in Group 3, but with a 2000cc capacity limit
Superstock – while the level of, and support for, bike racing differs significantly across the region, a concerted effort to create a sustainable CMRC competition on two wheels is bearing fruit; titled 'Superstock', these are 600cc machines, many of which double up as daily riders
Seaboard Marine CMRC 2018
Round 1 - May 12/13, Jamwest Speedway, Jamaica
Round 2 - June 23/24, Wallerfield Raceway, Trinidad & Tobago
Round 3 – September 1/2, Bushy Park, Barbados
Round 4 - November 10/11, South Dakota, Guyana

The city of West Jordan, UT, is a rapidly growing suburb of Salt Lake City, named after the nearby Jordan River. It ranks the fourth largest city in Utah, with an estimated population of 112,000 people living across an area of 31 square miles.
West Jordan was established by Mormon settlers in 1848, then incorporated almost a century later in 1941. In the early years, West Jordan based its economy on agriculture, mills and mining, including the first leather tannery west of the Mississippi River.
Population growth exploded in the 1970s and has continued ever since. West Jordan today continues to manage the related concerns of transportation and school overcrowding. Current major construction projects include a master-planned development called Jordan Landing, in addition to a new central area called Briarwood in old downtown West Jordan.
Since 2013, MPG Car Care has been serving drivers from West Jordan with a full range of automotive repairs, from basic maintenance to more extensive fixes. Our experienced and knowledgeable team is committed to providing excellent customer service, along with accurate, long-lasting work on a wide variety of makes.

Zurich study recommends solutions to widening income protection gap
Schaumburg, Ill., October 11, 2017
Governments, employers, insurers and individuals all play a role in helping to close the gaps
Zurich Insurance Group and the University of Oxford published a study today that highlights the growing risk of income protection gaps (IPGs) and recommends solutions to a problem that, if not addressed, could impoverish millions of Americans.
The study, "Embracing the income protection gaps challenge: options and solutions," is based on extensive research and outlines practical recommendations to address critical issues and gives insights into how governments, employers, insurers, intermediaries and individuals can work together to close IPGs.
Income protection gap is defined as the reduction in household income caused by the death or incapacitation of an adult wage earner on whom the household relies, taking all public and private sources of replacement income into account.
Zurich's research and the study based on it describe how public/private partnerships between governments, companies and insurers can play a crucial role in helping to ease this burden and close the gaps. Financial education is key to securing personal financial security.
There is an urgent need for solutions, the study concludes. As life expectancy increases, extending one's working lifetime can provide financial rewards. Yet more years working also puts individuals at increased risk of becoming disabled during their careers. Chronic sickness, injuries or other conditions can prevent or impair a wage earner's capability. With government resources constrained, and a growing number of people working part-time and temporary jobs, people are increasingly at risk. An IPG could seriously deplete household budgets, savings and retirement accounts. The burden of guaranteeing long-term financial security is simply too great for many individuals to bear.
"The income protection gap is not just a problem for individuals and families, but also for employers, government and society as a whole," said John Miskel, head of Corporate Life & Pensions, Zurich North America. "It will take a multi-stakeholder approach to close the gap."
Solutions include finding a balance between responsibilities assumed by governments, employers, insurers – and other financial institutions like intermediaries – and individuals in protecting household income. Key recommendations for insurers and employers include:
For insurers:
- Target messaging and engagement with appropriate framing (e.g., link consequences of people's financial decisions to others in their household).
- Continue supporting scenario-building apps.
- Develop programs that insure pension income against the long-term risk of contributions lost due to disability, premature death and progressive retirement.
- Include extended mental health cover in group insurance policies when certain parameters of treatment are met.
- Develop group insurance packages that create income protection insurance as an 'add-on' to private pension schemes.
- Encourage employers to auto-enroll (with opt-out option) workers into IPG insurance.
For employers:
- Design effective financial education programs with employees to make available ongoing financial advice that combines instruction with practice and engagement.
- Design methods to better inform employees about what benefits are available to them and how income protection insurance fits into the package (whether from the state, employer or otherwise).
- As official pensionable age is postponed, create flexible retirement options for older workers with impaired lives that involve part-time work and an alternative income.
- Create contributory employee assistance plans for employee support when confronting family, legal or financial crisis outside work (prevent presenteeism) – or as a source of benefit corresponding to predefined health-related need.
- Consider auto-enrollment of employees into an IPG protection plan.
- Create and maintain a core set of benefits for all employees, promoting equity and preventing social dumping, based on salary scales in each country.
The research report gives global recommendations for closing the IPGs and provides insights and solutions for 12 countries – Australia, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, UAE, the United States and the United Kingdom.
This is the final of three reports on IPGs by Zurich and the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford.
The first report, published in 2015, revealed that a growing number of Americans have little or no income protection, leaving millions at risk of slipping into poverty. IPGs are caused by several factors, including: An aging population; reduced funding for government social programs; inadequate savings and insurance protection for individuals and families; and rising disability levels.
The second report, published in 2016, highlighted the results of a survey of 1,000 Americans to measure the extent of the problem. Among the survey findings: An estimated two-thirds of Americans do not have enough savings to cover expenses for six months if they become ill or disabled and are unable to work, and more than one in four would deplete their savings in less than a month.

A little bit 'o Silver
When I compiled the hair color trends in my recent post, the ones I LOVED had gray or silver streaks. When I thought about how much I liked it, I realized how cheap and simple it would be for me to get that look! :)
I simply have been refraining from dyeing my roots for the last few months. It's gonna take many months longer because I don't have fast growing hair, but I'll have my own glittery silver mane eventually.
At the age of 26 I started seeing more and more gray hairs come in when I went to hair appointments and I started letting my stylist dye it regularly. When I moved away from the stylists I liked I began doing my own coloring, and as you've seen that has been an exciting journey.
But the step I'm at right now, and honestly really delighted to be at, is this one at almost 40. I'm gonna embrace the gray. My fears at 26 were things like my husband looking way younger and me being the unattractive spouse, but time has given way to the realization that he will never age and I've got weight and 4 pregnancies amongst the myriad reasons we are already unbalanced. And you know what? That's ok. I am me, and he is he.
And the new me has lots of silver glitter.

New England Hall of Fame
This year I was honored to be among the inductees into New England Home Magazine's Design Hall of Fame. Here's what they had to say:
"Many of the inductees into our eight annual New England Design Hall of Fame took a circuitous route to the design industry, first sampling fashion, medicine, social work, and other careers before finding their true calling in architecture and interior design. The defining thread linking them all is talent, and we are thrilled to announce that Douglas Dick, Treffle LaFlech, Christina Oliver, Dinyar Wadia, Jim Gauthier, Susan Stacy, and Rosemary Porto will be be joining the gifted ranks of architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and specialty designers who came before them.
Although she was born into a family of architects, designers and draftsmen, Christina Oliver did not discover a passion for interior design until after a sixteen-tar career as a social worker. While Oliver was contemplating a higher degree in the mental health field, a Myers-Briggs test revealed a keen sense of space she hand't previously given much thought to. Once she did, she never looked back.
She earned her certificate in interior design from Boston Architectural College in 1990, and opened Oliver Interiors in 1991. It turns out that social work isn't so far removed from interior design: Oliver's skill for listening to what clients really want and then translating that into personal spaces factors heavily in her success. Giving back to the community remains a strong tenet of her work ethic; she places an emphasis on hiring interns, and often works for nonprofits such as Rosie's Place and the Devon Nicole House at Children's Hospital Boston.
"With all the help and mentoring that I received during the time I was trying to develop my own career, I felt that I needed to give back," says Oliver. I work with a lot of people who have a lot of resources, and it's important to me me to do work for people who don't have those same resources."
As past president of ASID New England and current president of the Massachusetts Interior Design Coalition, Oliver has been dedicated to pushing through legislation allowing interior designers to bid on state projects separately from architects and engineers. After years of hard work by Oliver and other designers (including fellow New England Design Hall of Fame inductee Lisa Bonneville and Mount Ida College professor Rose Botti-Salitsky), the bill has finally been signed.
Thanks to the dedication of Oliver and others, interior designers can bid on state projects beginning November 19, 2014."
Christina here: I'm honored to be among such a wonderful and talented group of inductees this year. My thanks to New England Home Magazine and the 2014 Hall of Fame Selection Committee!
A New Vision for Interior Design Education
I'm so pleased to share with you the news that the Council for Interior Design (CIDA) Board of Directors has invited me to participate in establishing priorities for the future of interior design education. In early November 2014, at the CIDA's Future Vision Session, I'll be joining a "diverse group of nominated thought leaders to establish educational priorities for entry-level practitioners in 2017 and beyond."
Those of you who know me are aware that I've devoted much time and energy throughout my career to groups that establish, license and recognize the professional preparation of interior designers. I held a position on the Founding Committee for the New England Chapter of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Business Leaders Breakfast, as well as serving as its co-chair and chair. I've served as president of the New England Chapter of ASID, and currently serve as the president of the Massachusetts Interior Design Coalition (MiDC), in addition to maintaining my own interior design firm.
I feel honored to be a part of the CIDA's Future Vision sessions, along with many other design leaders. I've long believed that the interior design profession needs a set of quality assurance standards and educational requirements to ensure that licensed professionals in the field receive the recognition and renumeration they deserve.
I'll keep you posted on our findings and discussions in November. For more information, visit the CIDA here.
Small Changes, Big Impact
The inspiration for this wall pattern came from the client's existing artwork.
My collaboration with artisans is some of the most rewarding work I do: sharing my vision based on my client's dreams, and seeing beautiful original artwork as a result! It's a team approach to interior design that makes the final sum more beautiful than the individual parts. One of my favorite artisan-partners is Pauline Curtiss, of Patina Designs.
Pauline took a pattern from artwork the client loved, and created this striking design. I decided to use this wall art instead of a tile back splash in the kitchen. My goal was to update the apartment and make it more visually interesting; I find that Pauline's unique pattern work often adds the final, zestful touch to otherwise serene and functional design.
This kitchen was a comparatively small job, but it has a big impact! The counter is made of Cambria natural stone, a pure quartz that is stronger than granite, and is nonporous for easy care. I repainted the existing cabinets and changed the hardware, counters and added the patterned wall.
Next: the Dining Room
In the dining room, we added more Patina-created patterns on the wall above the chair rail. You can see into the entryway beyond the door, and the patterned walls on the staircase.
Girls' Bathroom
One of my favorite projects is a girls' bathroom we did for another client. The painted wall was inspired by the glass and ceramic tile on the floor, and the glass tile on the jacuzzi tub and backsplash.
Paint, pattern, texture and tile: sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference.
Rituals of Renewal
Part One in a Series on Small Design Jobs with Enormous Impact
It's easy to get bogged down at home. The to-do lists are detailed, the work days are long, and the time available for organizing seems short. That's why the time-honored ritual of spring cleaning is welcomed as a chance to break through chaos and find serenity in our homes again.
The first step in moving from clutter to clarity is re-envisioning the rooms you live in. A busy professional couple I worked with recently had a love of reading and study in their fields that had them almost buried in books, reference materials and paper. After extended hours at their medical practices, they found themselves placing papers in stacks and books in bookshelves that were way over capacity. Their office, hallway and study weren't functioning well; it was the perfect time to call in an interior designer.
I focused on three main elements to restore peace and order to their home: paint, lighting, and new shelving, created in part from wooden standards that had been in use in another room.
- Paint: Fresh paint goes a long way toward brightening a space, and making it feel more expansive. More here…plus photo
- Lighting: Custom lighting installed in hallways and alcoves made all the difference in illuminating their materials and their lives. More here…plus photo
- New shelving: In addition to making use of shelving that they already owned, they commissioned a carpenter to install all new built-in bookshelves designed by Oliver Interiors to help them organize the office. More here…plus photo
The Art of Graceful Mistakes
At first glance, there does not appear to be anything graceful in mistakes. They are usually accompanied by chagrin and embarrassment, particularly when a mistake results in a client's disappointment. I have learned two things in my twenty-five plus years as an interior designer: the first is that mistakes happen, and the second is that it is how you respond to them that matters.
Recently I had a situation where a beautiful custom entertainment cabinet had been made for a client. It took weeks for its completion, and then when delivery was only hours away–disaster. The movers responsible for its delivery dropped it. The specially installed lift inside was irreparably damaged, and the custom-building process had to begin all over again. That was a hard call to make to the client, who had been eagerly anticipating its arrival, but there was nothing else I could do.
I made the call, explained the situation and how I was going to address it, and she accepted my apologies on behalf of the delivery team. We began the process again, with patience and understanding on both sides: her's toward me and my design firm, and me toward the mover and his delivery crew. Mistakes happen.
Another time clients were in the midst of renovating a home and redesigning the living room for a wonderful celebration: the Bar Mitzvah of their eldest son. Everything arrived on schedule, without mishap, including two custom-made chairs. Except that the fabric that was supposed to cover the chairs had never been applied.
Several phone calls were rapidly made, the chairs were returned to the manufacturer who pulled out all the stops to recover them in the fabric we had so carefully chosen, and they were delivered–again–in time for the family event. No amount of yelling, hair pulling or finger pointing could have resolved the situation, but a quick assessment of the problem, and a pleasant but firm request for it's resolution resulted in everything being made right before the big day.
Hiring a designer involves selecting someone whose vision speaks to you, whose personality blends easily with yours; and, whose credentials and reputation show them to be at the top of their industry. But remember that mistakes do happen, and a graceful response makes the difference between a design project you love, and a design project you never want to repeat again.
Custom-Designed Furniture
To my great surprise and pleasure, I found that the talented furniture-maker Steve Holman wrote a blog post about work we did together. I had requested a custom-made dining room hutch for a client, and described to him what I envisioned, including dimensions and budget. We went back and forth, discussing and finessing the piece, until our plan was complete. Steve does beautiful work and is a pleasure to have as part of my design team of independent artisans.
When I saw Steve's drawing, I had a better idea of what the final piece should look like. I asked for an unglazed interior, walnut burl accents and for the side elevation to match the front more closely. Steve sent me a revised drawing.
The finished hutch was just what I envisioned, and the client was delighted.
For the complete story and more detail on Steve's process, read his fascinating blog here: Holman Studios

Construction work did not have the kind of intellectual rewards Nicholas Salvo needed.
"After high school, I took a seven-year hiatus on my education," Salvo, 26, of Worcester, said. "After seven years of working in construction, I felt I needed to stimulate my mind beyond what I could get on the job site."
Several friends recommended Montgomery County Community College.
"For me, the affordability of MCCC was the number-one most important reason why I chose to attend," Salvo said. "It is a great way to get a quality education at a great price."
Salvo continued working full time while attending classes full time.
"I do not have a great deal of time to participate in on campus activities," he said. "I did, however, get the chance to participate in the Relay For Life event on MCCC's campus this past semester. It was a fun, worthwhile experience for a great cause."
Relay for Life is an American Cancer Society event in which teams of people camp out on campus and take turns walking or running around a track or path to raise money and awareness and celebrate the lives of cancer patients and survivors.
Through MCCC, Salvo successfully applied for inclusion in the Bucknell Community College Scholars Program, which allows up to six MCCC students to enroll in a six-week summer residency program at no cost thanks to a grant provided by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.
The Bucknell Community College Scholars Program is intended for high-achieving, low- to moderate-income community college students who want to earn take their education farther, according to the Bucknell website.
The students who participate in the summer program have the opportunity to apply to Bucknell and, if accepted, will transfer to the university with junior status on full-tuition scholarships.
Salvo was accepted and will transfer to Bucknell to pursue a bachelor's degree in journalism, he said.
"While at Bucknell, I fell in love with the campus and faculty, and when I learned that I would receive a full scholarship to such a great school, it was an easy decision," Salvo said.
"I hope to get a job in journalism, publishing or teaching when I graduate from Bucknell," he said.

Trip Ideas
Whether you have a long weekend, just one day, or a whole week, Columbia has everything you need for the getaway you've been craving. You'll find ample doses of big city excitement, small town charm, and natural beauty, all within walking distance. And we can't wait to share it with you.
In the fall, this is Gamecock Country, at least on home game weekends, when the streets and restaurants are full of fans. Not your scene? Come on an away game weekend: parking will be plentiful and restaurant owners will greet you like an old friend.
The city is also home to more festivals than we can count, and there are at least a few for every season. Locals and savvy visitors alike love the Korean, Italian, and Greek Festivals, summer's Tasty Tomato Festival, the Indie Grits film festival, Historic Columbia's Jubilee Festival of Heritage, the Freeway Music Festival, both the blues festival and a bluegrass festival, the Jam Room Music Festival, the Rosewood Crawfish Festival…and more! (Really, there's more.) How about the Love, Peace, and Hip-Hop Festival? Or Columbia Green's Festival of Gardens?
Locals love the easy way of life here, and visitors looking for a relaxing weekend can enjoy that, too. Spend your weekend strolling around our walkable districts enjoying the sights and history, and make time to take in a flick at the Nickelodeon, South Carolina's only nonprofit art house theater. And if walking in the city is more hustle and bustle than you need, head to the river and enjoy the breeze and natural beauty.
Foodies will find a variety, and should definitely seek out some Columbia legends, like DiPrato's pimiento cheese, Rockaway's pimiento cheeseburger, Mr. Friendly's filet mignon with pimiento cheese…notice a theme? We love our pimiento cheese, and we're proud of it, but we also enjoy all the fresh produce this region has to offer. Soda City, Columbia's local farmers market, is a food explorer's dream (but don't miss the other local goods, like hand-carved boards made from local trees, eclectic pottery, and handmade clothing). Every Saturday, rain or shine, vendors come from all over the state to set up shop on Main Street. Soda Citizens stroll the street, which is closed to traffic that day, sampling produce, listening to buskers, and making pit stops for everything from fresh juices and locally roasted coffee to empanadas and barbeque plates. Also? You can definitely buy some pimiento cheese for later.
Come for a show, stay for the restaurants. Come for a festival, and stick around to visit Riverbanks Zoo or the State Museum—or both. Come for work and stick around for the beautiful weather and gracious hospitality. We're glad you made it!

JWoww has never denied the fact that she's gotten plastic surgery, a boob job to be exact. In fact, her boobs have often been a topic of discussion among the Jersey Shore roommates. We love her confidence and the fact that she's not afraid to hide her perky assets, but as the fourth season of Jersey Shore premiered Thursday night to an audience of nine million viewers, Twitter and blog sites have been buzzing.
It's not just the drama that grabbed so much attention, but JWoww debuting a new appearance has everyone and their mothers talking.
What exactly did she get done? We know she's not afraid to get plastic surgery, but what exactly did she do to herself?
The 24-year-old looks older (not in a bad way), thinner and just all around different than the girl we met on season one. As she arrived to Florence, Italy on season four's premiere episode, we noticed JWoww's body looked even more slim and toned than before, her nose and chin look slimmer and her cheek bones are definitely more prominent.
Fans took to twitter to blast their opinions on the cast member's new look, both good and bad.
Check out some pics of the "new" JWoww.
JWoww during season four's premiere episode. You can clearly see her face looks different than we're used to.

JWoww and her boo, Roger move out of the Jersey Shore home this week after wrapping up filming.

Unless my avi is blank and no one's told me... (thanks,kids...) then my PB account is still working as designed. Maybe it's been "grandfathered" in. :wink2:
Wow... So you're suggesting it's gone now, or was and is now back? I can see it. Is that possible? What are our hosting options? I've been using PB for ages too. :shrug:
I got that email too. I clicked the link just to see how much it would cost to continue to use the service.
I about fell out of my chair when I saw the price. These guys are out of their gourds if they think anyone is going to pay that amount.
If it were something like $1-$2/month I'd consider it. I really don't use the service much except to host images of items I sell (here and other places).
DigiGal, so you're saying you do not see my avi now? Odd that I see it, or do I just not get it?

Oh, hey -- while I have some potentially interested parties here:
One of our users is having trouble editing old posts (like 7 years old) to update image links. I checked permissions and settings and everything seems fine -- edit permission enabled, with no post 'age' cutoff to prevent users from editing after a certain period of time.
Can one or a couple of you with some seriously old posts go back to try to edit one and let me know what happens?
I moved my avatar to imgur.com (http://imgur.com). I don't see them going anywhere soon.

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

cdc25B Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total cdc25B protein.Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues at the carboxy terminus of human cdc25B. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Cdc25 is a protein phosphatase responsible for dephosphorylating and activating cdc2, a crucial step in regulating the entry of all eukaryotic cells into mitosis (1). cdc25C is constitutively phosphorylated at Ser216 throughout interphase by c-TAK1, while phosphorylation at this site is DNA damage-dependent at the G2/M checkpoint (2). When phosphorylated at Ser216, cdc25C binds to members of the 14-3-3 family of proteins, sequestering cdc25C in the cytoplasm and thereby preventing premature mitosis (3). The checkpoint kinases Chk1 and Chk2 phosphorylate cdc25C at Ser216 in response to DNA damage (4,5).
The major 14-3-3 binding sites of cdc25B are Ser309 and Ser361, both of which can be phosphorylated by p38 in response to ultraviolet radiation (6).

Establish Good Past experiences When Reapplying to Health Classes
Prior to this reapplying to clinical high school, contemplate upping your specialized medical, analysis, and many other everyday life incidents. Generally, kids are denied admittance to medical-related faculty merely because they have minimal exposure to professional medical treatment, a standard skinny keep on, or not enough in-detail contribution in industry customer service and authority activity.
At any time youAnd;re devoid of sizeable shadowing or clinical volunteer understanding, definitely find opportunities in persons subjects guaranteeing that about reapplication you could have healthy evidence of your research of this medical industry. If you already have a large number of specialized medical feelings to your request, hunt down multiple areas of expertise during remedies to discover or division out into working on fundamental or professional medical background work.http://essayshelpers.co.uk/law-essay/
What ever room you take part in, get involved very early, as a unpredicted flurry of functions old a couple of months earlier than your request is much less treasured than evidence of an ongoing, purely natural dedication to your projects.
If reapplying generates a gap 12 month period, you essentially get the chance to operate inside clinical setting up or study location on your full-time base, which often can supplies a significant supercharge to all your program portfolio.
Individuals who have already robust resumes frequently depend on their earlier occurrences to include them throughout the new software program spiral and consequently ending effort in their programs to concentrate on retaking the MCAT or boosting their grades. Of course, halting all volunteer perform well, health care provider shadowing, as well as other recreation is definitely a bad strategy.
Institutions wish to see proof continued involvement in functions, not too an individual fallen all things soon after sending his application form to clinical college. Continue to keep your work with recent groups or try to find new ventures that you products up for one more program never-ending cycle, irrespective of how refined your past successes are.

Over the years, I always wanted the moment to come where things weren't as hard and I didn't have as many problems.
I wanted to reach my full "happiness" like everybody else does.
Now I have realized, I was looking at life the wrong way.
I changed my perspective and now I understand that happiness isn't just one moment in the future and life doesn't get easier, you just get stronger.
I also realized I have greatness in me as does every other individual on this planet. It is how you choose to use your greatness that will yield the best results.
To create a new life for yourself requires patience, persistence and being resilient.
It's never going to be easier.
Achievements and failures go hand in hand. Failing is just part of the process; a process that I think can be quite appreciated. One day you will look back and appreciate it so much more for the lessons it has taught you and the person it has allowed you to be.
"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever." – Steve Jobs
But it's not all bad because I truly believe the life that is waiting for us is just as exciting as well as the moment we have now. This is why they say to enjoy the process because the process is what makes up your life. The process is what becomes your life. Follow that heart of yours and never give up because of a little bump along the road.
Being fearless is actually exhilarating. Believing in yourself is part of self-compassion and knowing you are worth so much more is exciting.
As a finance graduate, my mind tends to see my process as an investment process.
Such as, when you initially invest in a company and have to make improvements on it in order to yield higher returns, but you can get caught up wanting for the end results to happen. It is easy to start being impatient, but you have to wait it out. In the process, you can't get discouraged when things don't go the right way.
Small wins….
The end results are waiting for you as long as you do something each day to get one step closer. Michael Phelps didn't have an overnight win. It was with the help of small wins everyday that got him where he is today. He pushed through his comfort zone, had the mind over matter attitude and celebrated his small wins.
It is crucial that each time you have a small win that you celebrate that win. This trains your brain into thinking it is doing something good, and that it wants you to do it again. And small accomplishments over time yield bigger results.
Keep doing things everyday, small or big, to achieve in becoming a better version of yourself.
You are an amazing person now, and can become even more astonishing each day you keep trying and you keep hustling your way into your dreams and goals.
Don't forget, we are all waiting on you!
Grow each day….
If you cannot grow each day, you cannot become your best self that is possible for you. If you cannot be your best self, then you are belittling yourself of what is possible for you. You still have time. Never give up on yourself and your future. Don't ever settle for a basic life. I truly believe we were born into this life with a purpose and we were born to succeed. Take inventory of yourself every day, write it down — what can you do differently? Find time to better yourself every day. I want you to leave this earth with a positive impact. I want you to know that because you were born, we are all blessed with your gifts.
I challenge all of you to keep fighting to find your purpose on this planet.
Something that is challenging, stimulating, fulfilling and inspiring.
I also challenge you to figure out your why. This will help you figure out your purpose. Your why should have your passion embedded in it. Your why should make you want it so bad that you HAVE to have it. It should make you emotional because if you don't have or do this one thing, then you will forever feel incomplete.
This life truly is so beautiful and one of the best advice's I have ever gotten is that we owe it to the other 95% who are less unfortunate than us living in the U.S. to become massively successful in order to be in power to help.
Now go take that walk like the champion I know you are. All things are possible and you are so loved.
As always, tweet or reach out on Instagram if you have taken your small step in finding out your why or purpose.
xx, Ozzy
