Well, after 6 hours in the Salon and $90 (originally should have coast me $60) later I'm still disappointed with my hair color! I have been using Aveda color for over 3 years now and this is the first time I am unhappy with the final product. This was my first coloring experience at this location, but I came in hand with my formula from the Aveda Salon I use in Chicago. After the first attempt I ended up with a darker root then when I first waked in and lighter ends. The second attempt finished looking like a darker version of the first attempt... and yes that includes what should have been brown roots now black.... The third and final attempt the stylist added highlights into the now black roots, but unfortunately I still have lovely chunks of the black color on the sides. On top of it not once did management get involved to try to compensate me for my time and extra money spent at the salon. Looks like I'll be going back to my Chicago Aveda Salon in a few days to have them fix this.... which of course is going to cost me more time and money. I cannot in all honesty recommend this salon to anyone, I am extremely disappointed not only with the outcome of my hair color, but with the lack of intervention from management. I feel they do not value the time or money of their customers.
Decent Service, Although Overpriced – I went in for a basic facial. The aesthetician sat with me for a brief Q & A beforehand. She asked what kind of facial I wanted and I replied the "60 min Elemental Nature" facial. (Note: on the brochure, this is listed as $80.) She scribbled something down on her clipboard, finished the Q & A, then brought me into the massage room. The massage was fine (albeit unremarkable). When I checked out, I was charged $120, which is $40 more than what had been listed on the brochure (and all of this was *before* tip). When I asked why, I was told I'd received something *other* than the Elemental Nature facial using more expensive products. Perhaps I am a sucker, but I went ahead and paid the extra (what's done is done, after all). However, I will *not* be returning anytime soon.
ok...just...ok – I called and the receptionist was friendly. He suggested a stylist for my needs. I wanted something different, I brought pictures (a cute bob with a lot of layers) knowing I wanted something a bit out of the ordinary. My stylist was right on time. She seemed to be in a bit of a hurry. She told me she could do my haircut no problem. The shampoo girl gave me some weird head massage rub thing for a minute. Anyway, my stylist cut my hair in like, 15 minutes, blowdried it and cut it again with the zig-zag scissors. it looked o.k. Kind of matronly actually. She spent more time talking about herself than paying attention to my hair. My hair was not like my picture. My bob was uneven on the bottom AND in the layers. I washed it and now I can't even style it. I am afraid to go back because I don't want it cut any shorter. I will say she covered up the cut with an ok blowdry. I paid what I thought was a lot for my haircut, and I don't like it. I won't be coming back. Oh well...the search continues.
The best cut and color for curly hair – I usually leave salons with tears in my eyes because they don't cut, color, or style curly hair well. This place did an excellent job and the service was fabulous.
Ali and Rene' Moved! – I called A+S, and they told me Ali and Rene' are at Lakshmi Hair Studio in old City!
I am going with them!
Update: I went to see them at Lakshmi...WOW! So cool! Great atmosphere! Of course I was happy as always! The whole feel of Lakshmi was very urban and hip. The location was gorgeous!
Wonderful Cut and Color – I love Art + Science! I am very, very picky about my hair and have been completely satisfied with my haircuts from Rene. She listens to what I want but also gives her own professional advice. I've also been pleased with the coloring services. Although I always struggle with parking, it's worth the hassle.
Color your hair here, seriously! – I do not like salons and I generally am never satisfied with my hair when I leave one. I kept researching and researching salons in the city and outside Philadelphia. I read a small article on Daily Candy and decided to look up Art + Science. I read all the stylists bios and decided to pick Ali because she had "color" under her name. I crossed my fingers and made an appointment. I have NEVER walked out pleased with my hair. She did the most amazing coloring job. I went from multi-shades of terrible uneven sort of brown sort of brassy, to beautiful light golden buttery brown. It has been a few days and I have gotten so many compliments already. Everyone there was so nice and fun, but Ali is definitely the person when it comes to color. She just overall rules, take my word for it! You will not be sorry!
My favorite place for spa services – I get facials and massages here. When you get a facial they start you off with a footrub. The massages are the best. You can sign up to have them text message you when they have last minute appointments open as well.
Most importantly, all the products are natural!

Torelli was an Italian violinist and composer who was born in Verona, 22 April 1658, and died in Bologna, 8 February 1709. He was admitted to the Accademia Filarmonica in 1684, first as a violinist and later as a composer. In 1686 he became a string player at the civic church of S. Petronio, but he was obliged to leave in 1696 when the musical cappella was disbanded. He then served as maestro di concerto to the Margrave of Brandenburg at Ansbach, later moving to Vienna, but by 1701 he had returned to the re-formed S. Petronio cappella.
Torelli's undoubted importance in the early history of the concerto has been much distorted by the imposition of later definitions: for Torelli and his contemporaries the title 'concerto' carried no automatic implication of solo or even orchestral writing. Like his teacher, Perti, he contributed to the Bolognese repertory of trumpet sonatas which pitted soloists again the orchestral body, and in his op. 6 (1698) he distinguishes between the violin 'solo' and the duplicated parts, but solo–tutti markings were already a common feature of instrumental scoring in Bolognese choral works. The posthumous op. 8 collection has been noted for its division into solo concertos and concerti grossi, the use of the ritornello principle, and the three-movement fast–slow–fast format. Torelli's op. 4 for violin and violoncello contributed to the repertory of unaccompanied duos not unusual at the period.

Hundreds of children with parents in tow visited last month's Winter Wonderland — an event that proved to be, literally, the only bright spot that day at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.
The annual event next to the Youth Center was held Saturday, Dec. 15, the same day a mechanical failure took out power at NBVC Port Hueneme from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
As a result, more than 1,200 people flocked to the event to not only play in 42 tons of snow but also to avail themselves of the free hot cocoa and marshmallow roast.
"We had generators up, and we rigged the bathrooms with flashlights," said Amber Melendez, the coordinator of Child and Youth Programs at NBVC Port Hueneme. "The only thing we couldn't do was serve Frito boats."
Frito boats were the last thing on anyone's mind as kids tossed snowballs, decorated cookies, had their faces painted and sat on Santa's lap during the free event that started at 3 p.m. and ran well past dark, ending just before the power came back on.
Cassandra Hudson came for the second year in a row with Brody, now 1, and Kiley, now 3. This time, she also brought her husband, Construction Mechanic 3rd Class Zachary Hudson of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3, who was deployed during last year's Winter Wonderland.
"We did this last year and had lots of fun," she said. "It's a lot easier with two adults."
Parents jumped at the chance to introduce their little ones to snow.
"It's his first time," said Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st Class Finn Andreasen of Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR) 55 as he watched 19-month-old Kieren experience the touch, taste and sight of snow. "We're from New Orleans, where it has snowed twice in the last 60 years."
Other families enjoyed the snow thankful that it was only on the CYP grounds and not in their driveway.
"We spent three and a half years in Wisconsin," explained Equipment Operator 1st Class Frankie Cruz of NMCB 3, who came with his wife, Erika, and their 7-year-old, Chevelle.

Hey there everyone! I am Terry's son Jamie.
Installing a Toto CST744S toilet or TOTO CST454CEFG instructions by Jamie Love
I install hundreds of these a year so I have some quick and easy advice for
you. First off these toilets are assembled like every other two-piece on
the market. Lets not over think this one here, just becasue it is a
Japanese brand doesn't mean there is a "Foreign" way to put them together.
Remember they were first manufactured in Atlanta, Georgia and the instructions are in English.
So let's Go!
I'll walk you through an assembly. It should take less than 5 minutes.
1- remove tank and bowl from their respective packaging. (1 minute)
2- lightly sand the bolt holes inside the tank to ensure a smooth surface
for the rubber washer to contact. (30seconds)
3A- Using large pliers, give the large nut at the bottom of the tank a bit of a snug, then push the rubber gasket onto the bottom of the tank until it is flush.
The flat side should be facing the tank while the tapered end should be
pointing towards the bowl. I find a half twist will really snug it flush.
(30 seconds)
3B- slide rubber washer onto bolts and drop into holes inside the tank. Then place a washer and nut on and snug them up.
(30 seconds)
4- Set the toilet bowl on the flange without wax, to see how the floor is.Determine if any shims are needed.
I prefer to shim at the back, pinning the front of the bowl down.
We use the composite shims located in the windows and door section of HD.
5- Lift the bowl back up.
6- Next, set either one wax ring or two down on the flange.
If the flange is setting above the floor, one will do.
If the flange is setting on the lower plywood, not on the underlayment, then two wax rings.
7- Set the bowl down on the wax, drop the cap securements over the bolts, then washers and nuts.
Snug these down, making sure the toilet bowl is steady and not rocking.
There should be no bowl movement when you are done.
8- set the tank on top of the bowl until it is centered left to right and
front to back. (30 seconds)
9- Place washers and nuts onto the tank bolts after it has been placed on the bowl.
(30 seconds)
10- tighten down each side with the washers and nuts provided. I alternate
until snug. it is not neccessary for the tank to touch the bowl on all
sides, a little gap all the way around is fine. (2-3 minutes)
11- At the very last, you can caulk around the base. In Washington State, around the front of the bowl, leaving the back open. I use polyseamseal.
In Phoenix, hj would prefer that you caulk all the way around.
12- Crack a cold one and continue to pat self on back while you stand before
your throne in all it's glory! For you sir have just built one of the
finest toilets in the world!!! (15-30 minutes)
13- Invite neighbor over so you can brag (1-2 hrs)
PS- I assume the seat install is self explanatory?
I hope this helps! Good Luck, Jamie
Consumer Toilet Report
The Toto Drake uses a Korky Quietfill valve and a Korky 3" flapper, made in the US.
The porcelain may be made in, USA, Japan, China, Viet Nam, Mexico.
The only caulk we use is between the floor and the base of the bowl, which we apply after the toilet is installed.
Even though it's considered to have a 12" rough-in, it will install with as little as 11" from the finished wall to the center of the flange.
The water supply at the wall should be 8" to the left of center, but will work with as little as 3".

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Lottery officials say nobody has won the Powerball jackpot and the top prize will now increase to about $425 million for the next drawing, the largest jackpot ever for the game.
Iowa Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer said sales were strong over the holiday week for Saturday's drawing, which was estimated at $325 million before the numbers were picked. That was the fourth-largest jackpot in the game's history.
Neubauer says the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing could go even higher than the estimated $425 million because sales pick up in the days before record drawings.
The previous top Powerball prize was $365 million, won in 2006 by ConAgra Foods Workers in Lincoln, Neb.
The Powerball numbers for Saturday were 22-32-37-44-50, and the Powerball was 34.

The Organic Center held its annual VIP dinner at Expo West, with the overarching theme of organic research.
News from industry food companies.
Washington, D.C.—Providing the big picture and some compelling statistics for the specialty food space is a new report published by the Specialty Food Association. Sales are up and growing almost across the board, and specialty foods are grabbing market share from conventional foods, according to the report.
All signs point to a continued rise in interest in alternative diets. A 2012 study from the Vegetarian Resource Group found that 2.5% of U.S. consumers self-identified as "vegan," up from 1% since as recently as 2009 (1). Couple this with the documented decline in meat consumption, and it is clear that widespread dietary changes are afoot. Raw food-centered lifestyles also continue to garner interest. In each of these areas, food companies are stepping up to the plate to turn curious shoppers into loyal customers through marketing and innovation.
The ballots are in. The votes are tallied. And now without further ado, we are thrilled to share with you the winners of the 2014 WholeFoods Natural Choice Awards.

Fine by me. I have long expressed admiration for peaceful popular uprising. The citizens of the Philippines and Ukraine earned everlasting respect for coming out by the thousands to protest stolen elections. Unlike us in 2000, the thieves were expelled. Wikileaks.com just overthrew the government of Tunisia and Egypt might be next.
President Obama should have made his economic policy by following Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman's New York Times columns. Instead, he put the foxes back into our financial chicken coop, signed off on an economic stimulus that was much too small and got his ass kicked last November by the guys who got us into this mess.
A double-dip depression is now in the offing. Only severe hardship resulted in passage of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1930s. Looks like instant replay on the horizon. I hope the pain proves worth the gain, but is there another FDR out there?
A tale of three
President Obama and Gov. Sandoval now have something in common with President Jimmy Carter. All seem possessed by a curious passion for rearranging furniture.
Political commentator Jeff Greenfield said this about that in his 1980 book, "Playing to Win": "Don't reorganize the government. In many ways, this is the most important piece of advice available to an incumbent executive ... (It) is always an obsession ... and it is always such an astonishing waste of time that it prevents an incumbent from accumulating anything like an impressive record. When you are meeting with your cabinet officers on which agency gets a new office, you aren't setting policy, you aren't cutting the budget, you aren't getting your legislative program through ... and you aren't making life one whit better for the people who voted for you."
Greenfield noted that Carter's new Department of Energy never got around to making energy policy. The office responsible for regulations was too busy moving 19 times, "often back and forth among the same three buildings."
Reminds me of an old joke about deck chairs on the Titanic. Or new ones about color-coded alert levels.
Courting Catherine Cortez Masto
Madame Attorney General is in for tough sledding in her second term. On Jan. 16, I noted her increasing union troubles because Nevada labor laws can be broken with impunity on her watch. Lady Catherine likes to flip responsibility to local district attorneys or the state labor commissioner, an office which walked away from its statutory duty to advocate for workers two decades ago. Local DA's won't touch labor law violations because they represent the counties which are some of the worst violators. And they think it's the AG's job. So Nevada workers, like utility ratepayers, are largely left twisting in the wind under the regime of the ambitious AG.
Capital punishment
The Ledge may provide headline entertainment, but Carson City is always good for other kinks and kicks. Thursday, Feb. 10, provides a double header. In the kinks department, the Nevada Commission on Ethics hears charges against Washoe County District Attorney Dick Gammick. If found guilty of abusing his office, he could be defrocked.
However, the bullet-domed DA has an ace in the hole: He's a Republican. Former Sen. Maurice Washington, R-Sparks, got bailed out of serious potential criminal liability a decade ago. Were he a Democrat, the "D" after his name might well have been changed to "detention." (See the Barbwire archive at NevadaLabor.com)
The late State Controller Kathy Augustine was impeached and convicted of using her office resources in her re-election campaign, pretty much the same charges Gammick faces. Fortunately, Sen. Bill Raggio, R-Reno, controlled the upper house majority at the time and gave her 40 lashes with a limp noodle. The penalty for conviction upon impeachment is removal for a constitutional officer. Former prosecutor Raggio invented a diversion for his fellow Republican. Gammick may not be so lucky.
On the same day, the Public Utilities Commission has set a pre-hearing conference on the action filed by International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1245/AFL-CIO. The union alleges that chronic understaffing statewide has put the reliability of most of Nevada's electrical grid in serious jeopardy. The case has already broken new ground — nobody expected the corporate-oriented PUC to even take up the matter.
Feb. 10 in Carson City will favor those who get their kicks by being in two or three places at once.
Dirty business
Environment Nevada just published a killer 78-page report entitled Dirty Energy's Assault on our Health: Mercury. It roasts those wonderful profitmongers at NV Energy for all the mercury the company's polluting power plants put into Nevada air. The full report will be available for download with the expanded web edition of this column at NevadaLabor.com.
Capital punishment, part deux
Gov. Sandoval's budget calls for axing the job of stimulus watchdog Mary Keating, the courageous woman who blew the whistle on former Gov. Jim the Dim's text-messaged lewd and lascivious liaisons launched at taxpayer expense. Outrageous.
Be well. Raise hell.

While Republicans, conservatives and the spiritual leaders of the Mormon and Catholic churches were firing salvos of criticism at the rumored gay judge, advocates for gay rights were cheering in the streets from San Francisco to New York City, and why not? This was the first time the issue of gay marriage was heard by a federal judge and the state of California will probably protect the sovereignty of its ballot all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Who knows? Maybe the pope will testify and tell the court that even the Catholic church doesn't allow its gay priests to marry each other.
The judge wrote an extensive 136-page verdict claiming that the prohibition of same-sex marriage was a violation of individual rights provided for in the 14th Amendment of our Constitution. And he is right! We are all entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as guaranteed by both liberal and conservative authors of our constitution and its 14th Amendment. Now, homophobic conservative senators want to amend the 14th Amendment.
Walker decreed that moral disapproval alone is not a legal basis to deny the personal or equal rights of gay men and lesbians. He said Proposition 8 enacts, without reason, a private moral view that same-sex couples are inferior to opposite-sex couples. He added there was no rational basis for singling out same-sex marriage for denial of a marriage license.
This ruling will be the political icing on the rhetorical cake of proverbial campaign deception before the midterm and next presidential election as an increasing number of states are challenging government for states' rights.
Arizona is challenging the government's authority to limit protection of its own state border. The Tea Party Express is campaigning on behalf of the state of Arizona. The Democrats are arguing for tolerance and federal help on the border. All the government can do is sue Arizona for attempting to do what the federal government either can't or won't do. Arizona Sen. John McCain, demonstrating one of the reasons he wasn't elected president, is doing his usual hypocritical dance on the fence, dividing the borders until after the election. Maybe Sarah Palin can show him the light.
The state of Nevada is joining 20 other states in a lawsuit filed against the U.S. government in Florida, claiming the government's newly passed health care bill and its Medicaid costs will skyrocket because the new federal plan excludes services and care for the poor and needy. The states will have to provide the service at no cost to the federal government and increased taxes for the residents of the state. Sen. Harry Reid denied that would ever happen before the bill was passed. He forgot to read the fine print of his own legislation. On that particular issue, Sharron Angle seems to have a little better insight, eyesight and hindsight. But after the elections, she'll probably be out of sight.
States seem to want it both ways. The U.S. Senate just passed a bill providing more than $10 billion given to the states to keep teachers and staff in classrooms. Nevada will receive more than $85 million. I don't see Gov. Jim Gibbons, members of the Tea Party or any state suing the central government for giving states money to keep teachers in the classroom, preventing more unemployment and providing education for our children. I wonder why, although, no one really knows what Gibbons might do.
Republicans are arguing the money is a bailout for teachers' unions and are opposed to it. They would rather see the wealthy earning $250,000 or more keep their tax breaks than pay for our children's public education.
So the scene is set. Locally, for the next few months, Angle will blame Reid for a high unemployment rate and declining housing market, immigration policies and socialized medicine, even though she says providing jobs in housing and construction is not a senator's job. Her answer to health care is to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Her answer to immigration is, like her political message, clouded and unthinkable.
Nationally, President Barack Obama will be blamed for Supreme Court decisions, lawsuits, the recession, the never-ending war against the Muslims and for being born on foreign soil. In other words, in politics, nothing has changed except the names and faces of new fictional characters in this novel democracy.

The centennial anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic was in April (the topic of two recent columns). But we also just marked another important date in the history of transportation. It was 75 years ago this month that the airship Hindenberg burst into flames 200 feet above the Lakehurst air base in New Jersey.
The Hindenberg, built in Friedrichshaten, Germany over a five-year period, and launched in 1936, pioneered transAtlantic air service. At nearly 804 feet in length and weighing an astonishing 242 tons, the largest airship to fly was the pride of the Nazi regime.
However, Nazi superiority in commercial air service ended at 7:25 p.m. on May 6, 1937. After flying from Frankfurt on her 63rd flight, the airship was being pulled to her dock on the ground by 200 men below when a spark was seen in front of the upper fin. Within 30 seconds the Hindenberg was completely engulfed in flames.
A total of 13 of the 36 passengers died in the disaster, along with 22 of 61 crewmembers and a man on the ground. Amazingly, several people who jumped from the flames survived, thanks to the soft sand.
Unlike the Titanic tragedy, the captain of the Hindenberg, Max Pruss, survived the ordeal and was not blamed for it. The Nazis, for propaganda purposes, claimed the incident was the result of sabotage, while others suspected a lightning strike. However, experts now believe the hydrogen gas and the flammable compound used to paint the enormous "bladder" are to blame.
The German zeppelin program was the brainchild of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. Born in 1838, the Count was an observer during the American Civil War.
Permitted by President Lincoln to join Union troops, von Zeppelin flew in large tethered balloons used by Union forces as floating observation posts. Inspired by the German engineer who developed them, von Zeppelin returned to Germany obsessed with building a flying balloon.
The Count did as he intended and even piloted the airships that bore his name. He died in 1917 during World War I, condemned for a fatal crash of one of his airships and angry that Germany's generals failed to recognize the potential of his flying balloons.
The United States also launched a zeppelin program, beginning with the USS Shenandoah during WWI. Through the 1920s, the American military flew a fleet of four German and American-made zeppelins. However, an embarrassing and fatal crash of the USS Akron during a publicity tour in southeast Ohio and similar wrecks grounded the program.
The Goodyear Company, which began building airships in 1925, continues to operate a blimp program and there are plans to join with a German zeppelin builder in 2014. One of the three airships in their fleet, the Spirit of Innovation, flies out of Pompano Beach.
However, the vision of a commercial zeppelin program ended with the Hindenberg. Its demise came, ironically enough, on the 25th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and occurred at Lakehurst, America's first international airport.
The tragedy was immortalized by reporter Herb Morrison of WLS Radio in Chicago, who was on the scene to cover the spectacle of the commercial airship's grand arrival in the United States.
Seeing the flames, Morrison cried out to his stunned listeners: "Oh, the humanity!"

Euro 6 – the challenge was to win
For a number of years, the trucking industry has struggled to fulfil the exacting emission legislation that came into force at the end of last year. Scania is the manufacturer that has been able to present competitive solutions sooner and better than anyone else. Scania now offers its customers no less than 18 Euro 6 engines for all types of applications – and is setting international records in low fuel consumption with their latest Euro 6 diesel engine.
"Europe will rebound"
The European market has started a little better than expected. There were concerns before 2014 about how demand would be affected by last year's pre-buys of Euro 5 trucks, but the pre-buy effect was shorter than feared. "We are now seeing a gradual return to more 'normal' levels of demand," says Bengt Thorsson, Executive Regional Director, European Region at Scania.
Scania Interim Report, January–March 2014
Scania's earnings for the first quarter amounted to SEK 2,257 m. Both vehicle and service volume increased, which was partly offset by weaker emerging markets currencies. Total order bookings for trucks during the first quarter were higher than the beginning of last year.

I'm sure my grand children and their parents will love this Christmas gift. Perfect for their rec room/TV rooms.
Again, not much for the money. Ordered a 24-pack, 8-oz each popcorn, for not much more than I paid for this
The instructions on the popper says to add the seasoning salt when adding the popping kernels. When we added it, it burned the pot and pop corn. Other wise, the oil is good the popcorn was good and though my kid likes the salt, I have yet to find a good way to add it.
love this popcorn kit! The butter flavored oil made the popcorn taste great.

Telephone and cell phone in Costa Rica:
Phone calls in Costa Rica are quite cheap. This is one of the reasons why we allow national calls to cell or home telephones for free. Just take the phone in your room, dial a 9 followed by the number of the person you would like to call.
If you want to call to US or Canada, you can do this for free from the Lobby- Computer. International calls to the rest of the world are really cheap from the Reception desk. please ask.
Each phone- number in Costa Rica consists of 8 digits. The ones that begin with a 2 or 3 are landlines, numbers that begin with an 8 are characteristic for cell phone nets of ICE, the phone company of the state. Apart from 01/2012, numbers beginning with different digits will be allocated by the competition that came up with the free trade agreement TLC. Numbers beginning with a 6 is Movistar, with 7 is Claro.
For the travelers who want to take their European cell phone to Costa Rica, it is important to know that the SIM card will work but they will immediately work in roaming mode which might cause high costs.

Adjusting to university life is always important for first-year students, and Lee University offers a comprehensive program designed to do just that. The Office of First-Year Programs seeks to assist all incoming freshmen and transfer students in adjusting to their first-year experiences at Lee University.
The faculty and staff of Lee University feel it is important
for all first semester freshmen, transfer students, and parents to attend New Student Orientation in order
to prepare for their first year at Lee.
Lee University requires that all incoming freshmen participate in a Freshman Seminar class called "Gateway to University Success" or GNST 101. This freshmen course embodies and expresses the central goals and purposes of the first-year experience. The course introduces students to essential academic skills, the application of critical thinking skills, and a personal Christian worldview to life decisions. It also offers a source of support for new students and an immediate connecting point to peers, upperclassmen, and a professor at Lee.
After students have reached junior or senior status, they are invited to become part of the Freshman Seminar program as Peer Leaders. First-Year Programs is in charge of recruiting and training Peer Leaders to serve as mentors to incoming freshmen students.
Transfer students will have the opportunity to connect with a Transfer Student Leader and a group of new transfer students through orientation and transfer activities throughout the semester. Student leadership opportunities are also available for transfer students after completing their first year at Lee University through the Transfer Student Leadership Council. These student leaders meet incoming transfer students at New Student Orientation and serve as resource throughout the first semester and beyond.
Click here for the Spring 2014 New Student Orientation Schedule.
All new students entering Lee University in the fall and spring semesters participate in New Student Orientation. This orientation is dedicated to helping incoming freshmen and transfer students become acclimated to Lee University. The Office of First-Year Programs coordinates the orientation process in an effort ensure that students start on the right track during their first few days at Lee. Instructors, Peer Leaders of the Freshman Seminar class, and Transfer Student Leaders serve as guides for students and parents during the orientation process.
The Office of First-Year Programs also serves as a resource for transfer students upon arrival at Lee by providing connections to Transfer Student Leaders, hosting informational sessions, and planning social events specifically for transfer students. The sessions are offered early in the semester and provide useful information and resources to support campus connections for new transfer students. The sessions are free of charge but RSVP responses are requested.
You can email your questions and/or suggestions for additional transfer student services to Rochelle Mayberry at email@example.com.

Sidux 2009-03: Debian Derivative Brings KDE 4.3.2
With Sidux 2009-03, code-named Momos, the Sidux project provides the next version of its distro based on Debian sid.
Sidux by name alone reveals its origin: the distro takes packages from Debian's unstable sid tree, patches them and thereby brings a distro to the market that is inherently stable. The newest verson bears the code-name Momos and is based on Linux kernel 2.6.31, which supports a slew of new hardware, among them USB 3.0 and X-FI sound cards. The desktop is now KDE 4.3.2, replacing KDE 3 and the Qt3 libraries.
Particularly challenging was integrating SysVinit, X.org and Insserv, whose developers were making countless changes to underlying components. Download from the project webpage will require some patience, as packages are currently not available. However, the ISOs are on the Debian project release page.

Snowman Holder
Kids can use this happy Snowman to hold their hats, scarves and wet gloves when they come in from playing outside!
Designed by Craft Marketing Connections, Inc. courtesy of Elmer's.
Material List
- (2) Elmer's® Foam Board™, 20" x 30" x 1/2", white
- X-ACTO® #1 Craft Knife* with extra blades
- (5) 10 oz. jars textured snow paint (or a type of spackle compound)
- (2) 24" length (approximately) of 3/4" diameter small branches
- 3" diameter Styrofoam™ ball
- (7) 1 1/2" diameter buttons, various colors
- 6" length medium red or dark pink rick rack
- Artificial or plastic carrot
- Child's hat, scarf and gloves or mittens
- Clear acrylic spray
- Low Heat Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Butter Knife
- Serrated Knife
- Scissors
- Cutting Mat
- Craft Snips
- Pencil
- Newspapers
- Pattern (download button below)
Project Instructions
Use pencil to trace pattern (download below) onto copy paper and use photocopier to enlarge to 300%. (Depending on machine, it may be necessary to enlarge patterns in increments. Example: first enlarge at 200% and then enlarge the enlargement another 100% or as needed to get desired size. Note that it will probably be necessary to move pattern on copier bed to enlarge all of the sections of pattern. Registration marks on the pattern enable taping the sheets of paper together to form the enlarged pattern. OR, some copy places have a "blueprint printer" that can enlarge pieces up to 36" wide.)
Use X-ACTO® #1 Craft Knife (with new blade) and cutting mat to cut out Body. (Hint: Score lightly at first and then press more firmly to cut deeper, with several passes of the knife. Replace blades often,) On second Foam Board™, similarly draw and cut out Head.
Use glue gun to attach Head to Body, positioning Head at a slant for a fun look. For cheeks, use serrated knife to cut two 1/2" thick slices (disks) from opposite sides of foam ball and glue to bottom of head (See Photo).
Cover work surface with newspapers. Use butter knife to liberally spread textured snow paint to cover Snowman head (including cheeks) and body. (Note: Make "swirls" in paint for added dimension.) Raise snowman up on bowls or scraps of foam board so that edges are off newspaper surface and also cover edges with snow paint, except straight bottom edge – leave that edge unpainted. With clean hands, position and press buttons into wet paint for eyes and down front of body. Let thoroughly dry a few days.
On back of Snowman, position small branches for arms. Use glue gun to attach. For added support, cut four 1" x 4" pieces Foam Board™ and hot glue, pressed tightly up against each side of each branch. (Note: Test strength of arms by putting gloves on ends of branches, remembering that kids will be doing this. If needed, use additional Foam Board™ strips and extra hot glue to hold.)
To create supports to hold Snowman upright, ask an adult to use X-ACTO® Knife to cut 8" square Foam Board™, then diagonally cut to make two triangles. To make snowman lean back slightly, use X-ACTO® Knife and ruler to cut a wedge off one triangle first: On one 8" side, measure up 2" on diagonal edge (from point) and mark. Draw a line from mark, back to right angle corner. Repeat with other triangle. Cut off and discard wedges.
Stand Snowman upright with flat bottom on floor. Ask an adult to use glue gun to attach 8" edge of both triangles, about 5" apart to back of Snowman, aligning bottom edges. For additional support, cut four 1" x 4" pieces Foam Board™ and glue to each side of triangle base pieces as you did with branches. (Note: If Snowman tips forward, carefully use X-ACTO® Knife to trim a little more off bottom of each triangle, so Snowman leans back further.
For mouth, use glue gun to attach rick rack, trimming with scissors to fit. Use craft snips to diagonally trim stem off end of carrot and use glue gun to attach to face.
In a well-ventilated, newspaper-covered area, spray entire Snowman with clear acrylic spray. (Note: This will keep it clean and protect it from damp clothing.) Let thoroughly dry, then, when coming in from outdoors, dress Snowman with hat, scarf and gloves or mittens!

Research and development
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2013)
The research and development (R&D, also called research and technical development or research and technological development, RTD in Europe) is a specific group of activities within a business. The activities that are classified as R&D differ from company to company, but there are two primary models. In one model, the primary function of an R&D group is to develop new products; in the other model, the primary function of an R&D group is to discover and create new knowledge about scientific and technological topics for the purpose of uncovering and enabling development of valuable new products, processes, and services. Under both models, R&D differs from the vast majority of a company's activities which are intended to yield nearly immediate profit or immediate improvements in operations and involve little uncertainty as to the return on investment (ROI). The first model of R&D is generally staffed by engineers while the second model may be staffed with industrial scientists. R&D activities are carried out by corporate (businesses) or governmental entities.
New product design and development is more often than not a crucial factor in the survival of a company. In an industry that is changing fast, firms must continually revise their design and range of products. This is necessary due to continuous technology change and development as well as other competitors and the changing preference of customers. Without an R&D program, a firm must rely on strategic alliances, acquisitions, and networks to tap into the innovations of others.
A system driven by marketing is one that puts the customer needs first, and only produces goods that are known to sell. Market research is carried out, which establishes what is needed. If the development is technology driven then R&D is directed toward developing that market research indicates will meet an unmet need.
In general, R&D activities are conducted by specialized units or centers belonging to a company, or can be out-sourced to a contract research organization, universities, or state agencies. In the context of commerce, "research and development" normally refers to future-oriented, longer-term activities in science or technology, using similar techniques to scientific research but directed toward desired outcomes and with broad forecasts of commercial yield.
Statistics on organizations devoted to "R&D" may express the state of an industry, the degree of competition or the lure of progress. Some common measures include: budgets, numbers of patents or on rates of peer-reviewed publications. Bank ratios are one of the best measures, because they are continuously maintained, public and reflect risk.
In the U.S., a typical ratio of research and development for an industrial company is about 3.5% of revenues; this measure is called "R&D intensity". A high technology company such as a computer manufacturer might spend 7%. Although Allergan (a biotech company) tops the spending table with 43.4% investment, anything over 15% is remarkable and usually gains a reputation for being a high technology company. Companies in this category include pharmaceutical companies such as Merck & Co. (14.1%) or Novartis (15.1%), and engineering companies like Ericsson (24.9%).[1] Such companies are often seen as credit risks because their spending ratios are so unusual.
Generally such firms prosper only in markets whose customers have extreme needs, such as medicine, scientific instruments, safety-critical mechanisms (aircraft) or high technology military armaments. The extreme needs justify the high risk of failure and consequently high gross margins from 60% to 90% of revenues. That is, gross profits will be as much as 90% of the sales cost, with manufacturing costing only 10% of the product price, because so many individual projects yield no exploitable product. Most industrial companies get 40% revenues only.
On a technical level, high tech organizations explore ways to re-purpose and repackage advanced technologies as a way of amortizing the high overhead. They often reuse advanced manufacturing processes, expensive safety certifications, specialized embedded software, computer-aided design software, electronic designs and mechanical subsystems.
Research has shown that firms with a persistent R&D strategy outperform those with an irregular or no R&D investment program.[2]
Present-day R&D is a core part of the modern business world. Major decisions in firms are made on base of research and development.
Research and development is of great importance in business as the level of competition, production processes and methods are rapidly increasing. It is of special importance in the field of marketing where companies keep an eagle eye on competitors and customers in order to keep pace with modern trends and analyze the needs, demands and desires of their customers.
Unfortunately, research and development are very difficult to manage, since the defining feature of research is that the researchers do not know in advance exactly how to accomplish the desired result. As a result, higher R&D spending does not guarantee "more creativity, higher profit or a greater market share".[3]
Government expenditures[edit]
United States[edit]
President Obama requested $147.696 billion for research and development (R&D) in FY2011.[4] Much of this spending is devoted to basic research on the mechanisms of disease, which acts as the foundation for the pharmaceutical industry's research where the Federal government supports graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in academic labs. On March 14, 2000, The United States and Britain signaled solidarity against the aspirations of private companies looking to profit from early discoveries in the race to map the basic human genetic code (DNA). Pharmaceutical companies also hired students as interns while they are still at under the Federally grant provisions of the University.
European Union[edit]
The funding from government organizations, like the European Union's Seventh Framework Program (FP7), and their alliance with R&D has made their research more efficient. However, government-funded research that paid for the work in discovering the human genetic code (DNA) has patent-restrictions.

Halloween is approaching; it's time for carving pumpkins, dressing up in costumes, and of course, curling up with a good scary book. For your Halloween reading, here is a list of some of the scariest books and stories that we have ever read. Readers beware; these ones might give you nightmares.
The Shining -Stephen King
"To this day "The Shining" is the only book I've ever had to hide from myself. It gives me the shivers just to think about it."
~Lucia, Library Clerk
The Tell-tale Heart -Edgar Allan Poe
"In the seventh grade I had an English teacher who invited her husband, a high school drama teacher, to read to our class. As he read Edgar Allan Poe's "Tell-tale Heart" you could've heard a pin drop. It was riveting and obviously memorable."
~Karen, Library Assistant
The Silence of the Lambs -Thomas Harris
"Read the original story; it's too dark for cinema."
~Chris, Library Page
Thinner -Stephen King
"Short and to the point, this creepy tale of revenge depicts an overweight lawyer cursed by gypsies to rapidly grow thinner, and ultimately conveys the idea that bad things will happen to bad people."
~Lisa, Librarian
Anna Dressed in Blood -Kendare Blake
"What makes this book scary is the fact that the ghosts are corporeal and kill people. They don't just say boo and induce a heart attack, they actually have the ability to savagely rip a person into bloody shreds."
~Stephanie, Library Clerk
The Dollhouse Murders -Betty Ren Wright
"The Dollhouse Murders by Betty Ren Wright was definitely right up my alley because I loved dollhouses and the idea of dolls moving on their own made me deeply uncomfortable as a child. The main character is a brave and resourceful girl who solves a murder mystery that adults cannot. The story gets bonus points for using the local library as a source for sleuthing!"
~Klara, Librarian
Just after Sunset -Stephen King
"Stephen King's short story "N." found in his Just After Sunset short story collection recollects the accounts of a psychiatrist treating a patient for delusional behavior but discovers that there is more to reality than we want to believe. WARNING: Readers may experience obsessive compulsive delusions after reading."
~Chris, Library Page
The Dark Descent -Various Authors
"This collection of short stories contains the two scariest stories I have ever read; The Rocking Horse Winner by D.H. Lawrence, and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Although its been years since I've read them, I can still vividly recall the sense of unease they evoke. Just thinking about either of them makes me shudder."
~Robyn, Library Clerk

Which Brand Rifle in 375?
Recently I posted a question for AH member asking about the 375 Ruger vs the 375 H&H. The general consensus was that since I did not reload, the H&H would be the way to go for the simple reason of availability of ammo across the world.
Since we have narrowed down the caliber, I am now trying to decide on a particular brand rifle. The CZ seems to get good reviews, not just on this message board, but on others as well. However, I've historically been a loyal Remington owner and I have seen the great deal currently offered by CDNN on the Remington 798 in brown laminate and 375 H&H for $499. During a phone call yesterday, the sales guy said they had about 80 guns left and they were selling 8 to 10 per day so he felt like they would be out of stock soon. Browning and Sako also sell guns in the caliber (as well as many others).
Would like to hear from the AH members on their reccomendations on the "best" brand rifle in this caliber. While I am sure there are some happy Remington 798 owners out there, the reviews on this gun are consistently inconsistent. I'm afraid I would "get what I paid for" if I bought one of these guns. What do you guys think / recommend?
Thanks for your input.

I just ended up purchase .375 after some years of dreaming. My selection was between Sako Kodiak and Mauser M03 Africa. As a local dealer had Mauser on sale I finally got one. Today I first tested in and if worked just perfectly. Very accurate quite ease yo shoot. Clearly heavier than .308 I had with me but compare to light weight 9,3*62 this is .375 is nice to shoot. Recoil is clear but it does not hit but just push you back a bit. Action work perfectly. I can without hesitation recomment Mauser.

Not that it really gives you any information, but one of the oldest sales tricks is to provoke a sense of urgency in the potential buyer. "There are only a few left", or "the price will be going up soon" is a poor reason to rush a decision about a car, rifle, or anything else.
The best advice, if you can manage it, is to find someone with a similar gun who will let you handle it or even better take it to the range.
Good luck!

That 798 is just stamped Remmy. It's a Mauser/FN design built by Zastava so it'll be a good one. Zastava built these same rifles for Chas. Daly, Interarms and the basic for Whitworth.

CZ or Remington?
I guess I should have originally posted: what is the better gun??
The CZ 550 American Safari in 375 H&H or the Remington 798 in 375 H&H?
I can get the CZ from a local gun shop for $999
And CDNN has the Remington for $499.
I realize "better gun" is a loaded question. My internet homework tells me the CZ is a tack driving, high quality rifle. The Remington has inconsistent reviews.
Any other thoughts out there?

...I never shot the Remington 798 - but I did pick up a Remington 700 a few years ago which I really love. It was on the used rack at Gander Mountain with a $500 price tag on it, with a stainless barrel to boot.The gun probably made 1 trip to Africa & was on the sales block - It was in Cherry shape!! Never spent to much time working loads as the first load I put together shot 5 shots in 1". Plenty good for anything i will ever shoot!
..Heard great reviews about the CZ but have never had the opportunity to shoot one. Everyone I know that has them claim they love them. If you aren't in no big hurry i would check the used gun racks in the big stores you never know! The CZ will be there as will the Remington 798. Don't be rushed into something you may not like. I looked off & on for about 1 year & quite pleased with my patience!!

I ordered one of the 798s with the walnut stock and was pleasantly surprized when I received it. After reading some of the reviews, I figured that I was buying a pig in a poke! Metal finish is great. Wood is beautiful. Action is as smooth as any 98 Mauser that I have handled. I will say that the bedding isn't as good as it should be, but when I finally bring it to the range, maybe it won't be so bad after all. I ordered talley QD rings and bases and am looking for a 30mm euro style scope to put on it. $499 for a rifle that may be a safe queen is about all I wished to spend. There is a lot of predjudice on the web, so I take some of the reviews with a grain of salt.Life Is For Service

My 375 is a pre 64 win and I love it but I do have a cz and a Rem 798 in other calibers. My CZ is a 404Jeffery and I have found it to be excellent. My Rem is in 458 WM. It is a little rough and has a fold down rear sight, as opposed to an express sight. It does not like to feed the last TBBC, though it feeds other bullets fine, so I believe that it needs a little work. At the prices I'm hearing, you could easily buy a Rem 798, send it to a good gunsmith and with a little cleaning up have a fine rifle for less than a CZ or new Winchester would cost. Some people will tell you that a CZ needs work right out of the box, but I have been happy with mine. I'd probably wait for a Model 70, but that's me.

Hi ! its great to know , that you intend to purchase the "EMPEROR" of all calibers , are you looking in for a European or a American brand ? can recommend more.
I have a Weatherby Mark V deluxe chambered for the .375 H&H calibre sightless in 26 " barrel , its a beautiful rifle and has been performing flawlessly . The other one in double that I possess is Hollands in 375 Mag chambering and is a CLASSIC was bought in the family in 1950s and still performs brilliantly.
You can opt for the Weatherby and I assure you that you would be a very Happy Hunter.
Welcome to the 375 H&H Magnum Club!!!!!
