CONOVER, N.C. -- Gov. Pat McCrory joined Catawba County business and political leaders Friday in celebrating the renaissance of a local manufacturer.
The governor spoke to about 300 people gathered outside the new headquarters of Lee Industries, a furniture and textile manufacturer that expanded with the help of state and local incentives.
"North Carolina's past has been in the furniture business… and it's our future, too," the governor told the crowd. "We're never going to give up on manufacturing."
The company, which employs 608 people, has added jobs in a county hard hit by the recession and global economic changes.
Catawba County's unemployment rate reached 15.5 percent in 2009. It was 10.3 percent in July, according to the N.C. Department of Commerce.
On Friday, McCrory helped dedicate Lee's new company headquarters in downtown Conover, in a renovated building that once housed the Conover Chair Co.
Lee got $750,000 worth of incentives from the state as well as help from local governments. According to the governor's office, the state grant was conditioned on the creation of 38 jobs over three years.
On Friday, state Commerce officials said the state's August unemployment rate stood at 8.7 percent, a drop from July's 8.9 percent.
Speaking to a reporter, McCrory suggested the still-sluggish economy was one reason recent polls showed his approval ratings slip. In an Elon University survey of registered voters, his approval fell to 36 percent from 46 percent in April.
The poll also showed that nearly 70 percent believe the state is headed in the wrong direction.
"We're in here for the long run," McCrory said. "But the economy is still going through a tough time and people are hurting. "I'm not here for short-term ratings. I'm here for long-term solutions."
McCrory also said he believed a federal government shutdown would be a "mistake." Some Republican members of Congress have said they're willing to risk that if they can't succeed in not funding the Affordable Care Act. The governor declined to comment on fellow Republicans in Washington.
"I've got issues in state government," he said.

BATH -- Sam Zarfos grew tired of second-place finishes in a hurry, particularly after grabbing four of them at the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference Class B meet last year.
"I have a lot of ribbons for second place," the Waterville senior said. "It gets a little old. The guys who've defeated me deserved it, but, yeah, I got tired of second."
Zarfos made quick work of his foes in the Bath Area Family YMCA pool Tuesday night to earn his first KVAC B titles -- in the 200-yard individual medley and 100 breaststroke.
He was a big reason why Waterville nearly toppled deeper Belfast for the crown.
The Lions won the KVAC B title with 248 points while the Panthers finished second with 229. Camden Hills finished third while Winslow was fourth.
Camden Hills won the KVAC B girls title with 344 points while Waterville was second with 192. Lincoln (173), Belfast (161) and Winslow (159) rounded out the top five.
"Belfast has a few more numbers than we do," Waterville coach Bob Johnston said. "Our boys and girls had good years. We've never beaten Belfast before but we came close."
Added Zarfos, who was named boys outstanding swimmer of the meet: "(Belfast) has the depth and the diving. I know how good they are, and they deserved it. They fought us off."
Zarfos started the night by winning the 200 individual medley in 2 minutes, 8.92 seconds. He finished it by taking the 100 breaststroke, an event he calls his "bread and butter." He won the breaststroke in 1:05.17.
"Everything felt pretty good," Zarfos said. "I felt strong. It was a good day. I didn't expect being (boys swimmer of the meet). But I'll gladly take it and put (the plaque) in my room."
He easily won the breaststroke by four seconds over Jerahmy Clapp of Belfast. Zarfos also won the individual medley by a comfortable margin -- six seconds over Griffin Davis of Winslow.
Seeded first in the event, Zarfos said he wanted to set the tone early in the butterfly and backstroke lengths of the medley.
"I really wanted to focus on my backstroke," he said. "I wanted to keep it long and strong. I just wanted to get it to the breaststroke, which is my bread and butter. Then I could give it all I had in the freestyle."
Despite finishing second in the individual medley, Davis rebounded to win the 100 backstroke in 1:01.18.
"I did mostly the (butterfly) last year but I've had problems with my back," Davis said. "So I've swam most the backstroke this year. I practiced harder than I did last year and it paid off."
Davis was seeded first in the event.
"I was worried I would stress out too much and choke out," he said. "I was really nervous."
Russian foreign exchange student Vika Arkhipova also enjoyed a big meet for Winslow.
Arkhipova, who is staying with the Davis family, won the 100 backstroke in 1:02.01 and finished second in the 100 freestyle. She also anchored the victorious 400 free relay team, which finished in 4:06.70.
Bethany Winkin, Jessica Greely and Sierra Hopkins swam the other legs.
The Waterville girls received strong performances from Sarah Ringer, who won the 100 breaststroke (1:14.07) and Treva deMaynadier, who was third in the 200 free (2:14.51).
Elsewhere for the Waterville boys, Emmett deMaynadier finished second in the 100 butterfly (58.83). Ben Wehry finished third in the 200 free (2:03.64) while the 200 medley relay team finished runnerup to Belfast.
"We had a good meet," Zarfos said. "We came close."

Looking For A Used Land Cruiser?
The Toyota Land Cruiser is well known in the realm of iconic vehicles. Over its 40-plus years of production there have been many models and options. We sat down with the experts at Man-A-Fre, the oldest Toyota Land Cruiser parts distributor in the world, and went through the many Cruisers available on the used market. We came up with a simple buyer's guide of what to look for from each model, which ones to steer clear of, and some simple upgrades for each.
FJ-40 First imported to the U.S. in the mid '60s, the open-topped, two-door, short 90-inch-wheelbase FJ-40 Land Cruiser came with an inline-six engine very similar to the GM 250ci. The original engine was the 3.9L F model with a lowly 125 hp that lasted until 1975, when the 2F was introduced. Parts for the F engine are hard to find, whereas 2F parts are readily available.
Transmissions offered were a three-speed manual (some early models with column shift) and then a four-speed manual from 1974 until 1983. Though only two transmissions were offered in the U.S. variant, the FJ40 had four transfer cases over its lifetime, all with cast-aluminum cases. The pre-'73 and post-'80 cases have the lowest low ranges of 2.31:1 or 2.27:1, while the '73-'75 and '75-'80 cases are not as desirable.
All FJ40s had solid axles with both the front and rear differentials offset to the passenger side. These axles are strong enough for moderate four-wheeling and hold up well to 33-inch-tall tires. The axles can also be built to run up to 37-inch rubber.
When inspecting any Cruiser, notice the large balls at the ends of the closed-knuckle front axle. If these are dry or dripping there is a sealing problem, but if they have a thin coat of grease everything is fine.
Early FJ40s come with drum brakes at each corner as well as manual steering, but both can be easily remedied with disc brake and Saginaw steering conversion kits.
Stock axle ratios were 4.10:1 until 1980, when they were changed to 3.70:1. During this time the fuel tank was moved under the tub from under the passenger seat. In 1975 the front axle was changed to disc brakes.
The FJ40 was also offered with a hardtop option that has metal sides and a fiberglass top panel, and replacement parts are available, but the tops are different from 1974 and earlier with barn doors instead of a tailgate.
FJ60 & FJ62 Around July or August 1980 Toyota began offering the four-door FJ60 Land Cruiser. This 107 1/2-inch-wheelbase station wagon was ripe for the start of the SUV craze and is a perfect basis for expedition/camping buildups. The FJ60 has a carbureted 2F 4.2L inline-six engine, four-speed manual transmission, a two-speed transfer case, leaf spring suspension, and solid axles with front disc brakes standard.
Problem areas are body rust, complicated emissions (which also hinder power and mileage), and the lack of an overdrive. A great upgrade is an imported Toyota H55 five-speed manual with a lower 4.84:1 First gear and an overdrive Fifth. Imported Toyota diesel engines make great improvements in mileage and power in an FJ60. Although a big job to swap, they are mostly a bolt-in conversion.
From 1988 to 1990 Toyota replaced the round-headlight FJ60 with the square-headlight FJ62 wagon. The FJ62 received a welcome similar to the Jeep YJ Wrangler. Many Toyota enthusiasts appreciated the new fuel-injected 3F 4.0L inline-six engine and electric windows and door locks and despised the square headlights. The FJ62 engine surpassed the FJ60 for power (155 hp, up from 135) and used the same suspension and solid axles, but was only available with an automatic transmission and resulted in still dismal acceleration numbers. Also, where the FJ60 had 3.70 axle ratios the FJ62 returned to 4.10s. The transfer case was the same as the FJ60, but was now engaged with a high/low lever and a vacuum-actuated four-wheel drive button on the dash.

"I had just gone to pick up the first serious piece of antique jewelry I ever bought-- a beautiful Edwardian choker. It was a lot of money for me to spend ($750,) but I was doing 'Funny Girl' on Broadway, so I could afford it. In the shop, we heard that the President was gone. I was so stunned and devastated that I got in a cab to go home. Driving through Central Park, I suddenly passed Elliott Gould.. my husband at the time.. sitting on a bench. How did he get there? It was like out of a dream. I stopped the cab, and we just held each other. I never could wear that necklace."

The horrible tragedy in Newtown, CT has brought to the forefront a much needed and long overdue national conversation regarding the lack of gun control and mental health services in our country.

And since 2009, the National Alliance on Mental Illness has reported that states have cut more than $1.6 billion in general funds from their state mental health agency budgets.Read more »

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland ruled that the law is "invalid and unconstitutional" and "cannot withstand a constitutional challenge," pointing out that Roe v. Wade guarantees the right to abortion up until the point of viability.Read more »
Purdue and Cornell Researchers Find Up to 1,000 Times More Methane Emissions than Estimated in Drilling Phase
By Brandon Baker
Because natural gas has less carbon than dirty coal, gas producers and even the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have applauded it as a cleaner alternative. Hopefully, a joint study from researchers at two universities will change that.
Purdue and Cornell universities on Monday released a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America with data on higher-than-expected methane levels found above shale gas wells.Read more »

Republican congressman from Kansas introduced legislation on Wednesday that would nullify efforts in multiple states to require labeling of genetically modified foods.
The bill, dubbed the "Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act," was drafted by U.S. Rep. Mike Pompeo and is aimed at overriding bills in about two dozen states that would require foods made with genetically engineered crops to be labeled as such.
The bill specifically prohibits any mandatory labeling of foods developed using bioengineering.Read more »

Larry Kramer does not need me to publicize his beautiful play. It stands on its own. For the last time – I will answer his complaints, which rewrite history.
When I saw the play in 1985 I was very moved and immediately contacted Larry to acquire the rights. After going through several drafts with Larry, I hired another writer to develop a screenplay that was faithful to Larry's play -- but adapting it to make it more cinematic. It was finished in 1995. Ralph Fiennes and Kenneth Branagh were interested in doing the version that I oversaw.Read more »

"The most truthful part of a newspaper is the advertisements"
---Thomas Jefferson
Boy, Barbra must sell a lot of papers. That tabloid keeps re-telling the same lies.
I asked my wife if I could borrow her Truth Alert to respond to the latest tabloid nonsense, an outrageous story that I oppose her doing "Gypsy." These scandal sheet guys only print stuff that is the exact opposite of the truth. I'm already lined up to buy the first ticket for that film. Her youthful beauty will perfectly complement her singing and performance. But the point here is that tabloids only traffic in bad news, bad news that they have to maliciously make up in Barbra's case.Read more »
I was just made aware of a ridiculous story in one of those weekly rags. This is just to say that the story is untrue in every respect, just unmitigated, sloppy, and malicious invention. The madness of the constant inaccuracy of these publications is evidenced by the fact that in this recent story the main photo they use of "Jason" is not even Jason!
One of the tabloids is recycling a fabricated story which we truth-alerted as false in 2004.
It's ridiculous to dredge up a 7 year old story about having a polyp removed. It must be a slow news day.
I've endured Larry Kramer's outbursts in the past, not wishing to dignify them with a response. But at a time when we are all pulling together to achieve such giant steps toward gay equality, it is anguishing to me to have my devotion to this cause so distorted. I think my efforts for the gay community and my immersion in securing its constitutional entitlement and other equitable rights is quite evident and a matter of record.Read more »

To clarify the ridiculous assertions relating to Barbra Streisand's participation in the new "We Are The World," the recording of which I attended with her, Barbra hit it on her first take, but then asked Patti Austin, who was producing the vocal session, if she could do a few more to see what else she might come up with. Patti thought the first take was perfect, and she thought the fourth one was more perfect. They stopped at "more perfect."

I discovered in a recent book of rather serious intent, and in which I was otherwise fairly treated, that the author chose to print some of the silliest fabricated tales about me even after acknowledging that they were "perhaps more apocryphal than true."

At a gala on Monday night Barbra Streisand will receive the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Chaplin Award for lifetime achievement. The society cited in particular her work on "Yentl," the first movie to credit a woman as director, writer, producer and star, along with other big-screen turns behind the camera ("Prince of Tides" and "The Mirror Has Two Faces") and in front of it ("Funny Girl" and "For Pete's Sake").
Before the gala Ms. Streisand answered readers' questions, and hundreds took to the ArtsBeat blog to declare their affection and post their queries.Read more »
I was very saddened to hear of Allison Waldman's passing Monday. She had been struggling bravely for many years to beat cancer.
I knew Allison over the years as a very good writer and a kind and loyal fan of mine who created and wrote "The Barbra Files" magazine and "The Barbra Streisand Scrapbook"... she was always wonderful to me. She was dedicated to the accuracy of the news she conveyed, and she shaped her stories with great style.Read more »

Barbra Streisand on the passing of one of her longtime record producers and sound engineer, Phil Ramone
I'm so saddened to learn of Phil's passing.
We first worked together in 1967 when I did a free concert in Central Park. His brilliance at capturing sound was immediately evident.
Later we worked together on the film "A Star Is Born" where Phil was able to record me singing live, including "Evergreen". In the next decade we worked on the soundtrack to "Yentl" and many other recordings.Read more »

Winning the lottery does not compare to hanging out with friends. An immediate rush will occur from winning the lottery, or getting a job you want, or buying a car you desire. But, the daily pleasures seem to be what leads to happiness. And, of course, it's important to be moderate in these pleasures. Too much of a good thing will turn it bad.
In our rushed lives, with ever increasing stresses, making sure simple pleasures occur can be an enormous challenge. Often, having a buddy to remind you to tune in to the easy to obtain joys of life can be a huge help.
Sometimes scheduling enjoyable activities into your life will do the trick. It may seem counterintuitive to schedule pleasure. But, in busy lives it's often necessary to schedule activities to be sure they get done. Why not, then, put time into your schedule for pleasure? Write it right into your calendar.
Likely we don't need to go over the list of activities that give you pleasure. If you're overly stressed you probably know what you wish you could do. Recently I took a yoga class, and loved it. I had been wanting to do this for at least two years and somehow could not find the time. Now that I've experienced such great satisfaction I'm making sure to put yoga on my weekly calendar.
Once you start paying attention to activities you really enjoy, you're likely to realize that you feel both emotionally and physically better when you do them. Often it's difficult to make that first step into the place of happiness. We get so used to the routines of our lives. But the rewards to be experienced from making that first step will keep you moving forward. See them, feel them, and definitely believe in them.
Maybe you're already doing activities that give you pleasure, but for some reason you're not doing enough of them. You may even be telling yourself that you don't have time in your busy life to have more pleasure. But, happiness need not be a choice if you're willing to take the leap of altering your habits. It's a tough decision because we become used to our lives as they are. But, once we make the leap we can as well become used to the new habits of happiness.
This brief article talks about some of the gratitude techniques that have been developed over the course of doing research into the topic of happiness. It as well discusses why gratitude activities are important to include in your life.

Comments about Acclaim Wausau� 65lb. Astrobrights� Card Stock; Lunar Blue:
We use this card stock as the front and back covers for our school publishing program. The colors are bright and vivid and the weight is great for our use. The students like the color selections. Those of us running the program enjoy the "out of this world" color names. The students color pictures that are glued to this paper and then the whole sheet is laminated. The card stock looks as great today on books that were laminated years ago as it did when I opened a new pack last week. Downside is the flimsiness of the actual packaging--it shipped and was already ripped.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Karosta Prison
Why stay overnight in an ordinary hotel? At Karosta you have a unique opportunity to spend the night in a prison which is believed to be even more impressive than the famous Alcatraz in the USA, to sleep on a prison bunk or an iron bed, and to have a real prison meal.
Stay overnight in the Karosta guardhouse lodging (2 beds in one room).
The prison was built about 1900 and until 1997 it has served as a place where militaies served their terms for breach of discipline. Ever since the first years of its existence it has been a place to break peoples lives and suppress their free will.
With powers changing, its prisoners changed as well among them there were revolutionaries, sailors and non-commissioned officers of the tsarist army, deserters from the German Wehrmacht, enemies of the state in Stalins times, soldiers of both the Soviet army and the Latvian army and other rebels.
Mysterious and inexplicable things are noticed in the guard house rumbling footsteps, self-unscrewing of electrical bulbs, unaccountable opening of closed doors of the cells but the appearance of impossible images has come as the most unpleasant surprise to many a visitor.
For those who stay overnight in Karosta Prison we offer the excursion around the prison free of charge.
* It`s not an ordinary museum. In here you will have an opportunity to try on a gas-mask, the red tie of a young pioneer or buy a genuine soldiers aluminium spoon. You will see a prison that has endured almost no changes since its beginnings in tsarist times. You will learn about the way its prisoners used to live.
There are only guided tours.
We offer audio guides in English, German, Russian and Latvian.
For those who seek the ultimate self discovery through an adventure we offer the night show - playing a role of prisoner during harsh prison night conditions.
We offer ( for groups minimum 10 persona) also HORRIFYING SHOW WITH INTERACTION OF VISITORS: 'BEHIND THE BARS'.

You and others may have to forgive me, I'm a 5 year US military volunteer Vietnam era Veteran. And if you or others don't forgive me, that's OK because I know I did what I could to protect your right to your opinions, even though I may disagree with them, I smile at the majority of the population of the world having the freedom to voice them, because had it not been for the US, and its military, there would be a lot less freedom. And we wouldn't have the internet to voice our opinions on either.
Why are you showing a link to Canada honoring their fallen soldiers and mentioning a US no pictures of the coffins coming off the plane policy?
I can't see any coffins in your youtube piece, I do see them being blocked from sight actually.
What do you see as a difference other than Canadians being behaved without the need for a US like regulation that prevented some Americans' bad behavour?
If you want to respect your fallen soldiers, I'm all for it and you.
I believe the Bush policy in the US respected our fallen soldiers and had some Canadians used their fallen soldiers for antiwar propaganda as was done here in the US, well I would have supported a no picture policy there too.
So the question is why wouldn't you do the same for us? Or are you one of those Bush bashers regardless of the facts?
Are you aware of the people that now show up at the funerals of US soldiers here to disrupt the funeral with their antiwar noisy demonstrations, placards and signs etc.? Do you consider that being respectful to fallen soldiers and does it matter that they are US soldiers?
How about their families and friends? IIRC, recently our socialist democrat congress has denied to make that illegal. Would you support a law or policy to make that activity illegal, as I do? Would you if it were your son's or daughter's funeral? Niece or nephew? A friends'?
Another IIRC thingy, I believe that no picture policy was rescinded because just a week or so ago I saw TV showing IIRC 7 US flag draped coffins inside the plane as they were brought home.

Great Teacher – Is great with students. Has humor, But is to the point. Makes sure His students are on task.Good techer.
I recommend Jim
Great Teaching Method – I'm here to praise Jim Bruno for his teaching method of singing. A previous comment gave him poor ratings, however that is usually the type of person who sings like a frog and expects to become Sinatra after a few lessons. You cannot expect miricles, but I've personally seen Jim take a "non singer", and turn them into a fair singer. I myself have a god given talent, but just went to Jim to increase on those gifts. I've known him for close to 20 years, and I believe in his methods. The student has to remember that they must practice, practice and then practice more to achieve results. But no teacher can wave a magic wand. You have to go into it with realistic expectations. Jim is a very nice teacher, with a quick dry wit and humor. If you can't take a bit of healthy teasing, then he's not the guy for you. My advice is to pull the stick out of your brown eye, and have a little fun. Lighten up, it's only music.
bad instructor – This instructor the Jim Bruno seems too busy to show up all the time on time and has a bad attitude about his students. He is also not constructive in criticism.

Be wary of seamless perfection today! It's when things are not going smoothly that your brain is getting the most out of a situation. You benefit from conflict and challenges more than you benefit from peace and tranquility right now, so enjoy any turmoil you come across! Step up to any naysayers and get to the bottom of what their issues are. You'll love debating new ideas and figuring out why people who seem so smart don't agree with everything you say!
Is it your fragrance, or are you practically irresistible? Think about what you really want and then do a little (very little) legwork to get there. After you put out that initial invitation to your true desires, you might find that opportunities (and some people) pretty much fall into your lap with very little effort on your part during the first half of this week. Wednesday and Thursday, be careful about how you discuss what's happened -- you think you're being blunt, but another party is more sensitive than you. The weekend is all about consolidating the ground you've gained.
New projects are always exciting. But on the 1st and 2nd, be ever so slightly cautious as you decide whether or not to dive on in. After all, if you decide to paint the living room canary yellow because you are sick to death of that avocado green, but you don't really have time to get the whole thing painted because you promised your Aunt Fannie that you would man the barbeque at her ladies' card game on Sunday, you could be stuck with a half-canary, half-avocado problem. By the mildly unsteady 7th and 8th, do everything you can to get yourself back into balance. Yes, a yoga class will help. Slow way, way, way, way, way down on the 13th, 14th and 15th. Heck! You could learn to love taking things a little easier. Don't thumb your nose at authority, even if you decide to ignore what they have to say on the 18th. You're feeling wonderful and having some totally terrific ideas and inspirations on the awfully intense (in a good way) 21st and 22nd. Celebrate a diversity of ideas on the 25th. And slow down, again, before you go plunging in on a new project on the 28th.

Horan's mum: He's not settling down
11:06am Wednesday 4th December 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Niall Horan's mum has said that the One Direction star is not yet ready to settle down.
The Irish heartthrob, 20, has reportedly been dating Hungarian model Barbara Palvin, after they were spotted out together twice this week
But Maura told RTE that Niall wants to enjoy life.
"I don't think Niall is ready yet for serious girlfriends," she said.
"He's a real happy-go-lucky lad. He wants to enjoy life and isn't ready to settle into steady relationships as far as I know just yet."
She said that her son might be pictured with a lot of women, but they were friends.
"There are in that position where they'll meet lots of people and girls. A girl he'll go for dinner with here and to the pictures with there - but I'm not sure if they're all girlfriends."
She said that her son would like "someone that he can sit and chat and have a laugh with".
She said of him being a heartthrob: "I can't get my head around it."

Question by Ikco 366 · Jul 12 '10 at 07:42 PM · eye-mask sleep-mask sleep eye-sleep-mask
I do not have the possibility of a pitch black bedroom setting, so I decided to invest in a sleep mask.
I'm wondering what are your experiences with these things, on what should one be on a lookout when buying (materials and stuff) and if you have any specific product recommendations.
Thank you and be well

I'm a nurse and work nights and have been using a sleep mask for daytime sleeping for probably seven years now. I find it essential for staying asleep during daylight hours. If I fail to wear it, I'll wake up after an hour or two and have a hard time getting back to sleep. The ones that I use (I have 4) my wife received as "free gifts" with the purchase of some girly god-knows-what from some department store but they very closely resemble these cheap masks at Amazon.
The feature that I find most important is the strap - particularly that it is a thin and two piece so that one strap can go above my ear around the crown of my head and the other can go below my ear around the base of my skull. (This is similar to how we wear the N95 respirators in the hospital.) Single strap masks I've tried just will not conform to my head enough to keep the light out and tend to be uncomfortable to me as the straps are thick and too tight. Other than that, you'll have to experiment with a few and see what you like best. Some shapes may irritate the bridge of your nose more than others but a lot of it is just going to come down to personal taste.
Whichever ones you choose, don't forget to wash them periodically or you'll end up with zits or worse. You sweat more in your sleep than you may realize, and eyebrows and eyelashes are home to a lot of little mites in about 50% of us. A buildup of those mites in the mask may inflame allergies or asthma. I wash my masks in an old tied-off pillow case so that those little straps that I love don't get destroyed in the washing machine.
Answer by Eva 22619 · Jul 13 '10 at 05:14 AM
I find that stuff touching my face is distracting and irritating. Once I get used to it, I do fall asleep, but by the time I wake up, the thing is always no longer on my face. I must be removing it somehow during sleep.
Besides, I am not yet sold on the need to have a pitch black sleeping environment. When the moon is out, the outside light is brighter than the little bit of light from the nightlight and the LED in my clock so I find it hard to imagine that Grok would not be able to sleep well in comparable lighting. Plus when the Northridge earthquake hit and all the glass broke in my room, and I could not find my darned shoes in the pitch dark (all power went out) with all the junk from my shelves now littered all over the floor, well let us just say that I wished really bad I had one of those emergency power outage nightlights plugged in right then. And now I DO have one of those and still sleep just fine (except for when the cat jumps violently onto my stomach..I guess Grok would probably have eaten the cat by now..) -Eva

Has anyone tried a LUMI Mask? http://lumimask.com/ meant to block out the light and has a wake up feature that simulates a rising sun. Curious if it works or is just a waste of coin.
Answer by Matt 1 14270 · Jul 12 '10 at 08:49 PM
I've tried a few different ones and never found one that completely blocks out all light and lets me sleep on my side. However this is the best one I've found so far and the one I use.
It has inset bits so it doesn't touch your eyes, manages to stay on me most of the time and blocks out almost all light. The first one I had lasted about 10 years before it started looking abit worn.
Edit: I don't think it affects my duration of sleep much but it helps me get to sleep and prevents the sun disturbing my sleep. Here in Scotland the sun is rising before 5am now. My bedroom has two large windows with thin curtains and there are many city lights shining in.
Ryan - with your gluten intolerance etc, needing more sleep and getting it, might be a good thing for awhile. Give it a bit more time. Be sure to keep an eye on your iron and vitamin D levels too.I like my sleep mask (tempurpedic) and it blocks the light really well, but I don't think it causes me to need less sleep. It just improves the quality of the sleep.
Answer by Shilpa Nicodemus 559 · Sep 25 '10 at 04:00 PM
I used this one in the past (from Amazon). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CCI4YU/ref=wms_ohs_product
It blocks light well, is comfortable and stays on, but husband made fun of me and called it my Batman mask.
I now use this one from Ulta (Earth Therapeutics Sleep Mask): http://bit.ly/brpBey
It's fuzzy and comfortable, and does what I need. And is much more attractive than the Batman mask. Comes in a non-threatening tan color too.

If i'm not mistaken his holiness Robb Wolf said ditch the mask and black out your room. I wonder why he's so anti face mask?
Answer by virginia 11 · Oct 22 '10 at 01:23 PM
How about the safety for your eyes as in oxygen deprivation? Any comments on this. I love my eye mask but notice that my eyes may be dryer and my vision may be a little less sharp, needing to blink more often with a little more blurring.
Any suggestions or directions out there?
Answer by dzone 1145 · Aug 15 '11 at 11:19 AM
I have 2 sleep masks. One I got at Brookstone; is fuzzy and comfy, but made for smaller heads. I like the feel of the snugness thought, and the pressure helps w bags. I have a satin one that is looser and is comfortable, but not as good as blocking out the light. with my insomnia, I would never get a wink of sleep during the day if it weren't for my Brookstone eye mask.
Answer by FuelRestMotion 2982 · Aug 15 '11 at 12:03 PM
I use them only for daytime naps, which I love to take. I find if I sleep with one on at night time, unless its glued to my head it will absolutely come off during the night.

"you make my heart beat in iambic pentameter."
no you don't understand shakespeare literally writes to the beat of your heart
- that's why shakespearean actors will sometimes pound their chests in time to the words during readings
- that's why you use fluctuations in the rhythm to track your character's emotional state - any irregularities in the scansion are like the character's heart stuttering or jumping or skipping a beat
- that's why when characters share the rhythm - switching off in the middle of a foot - those characters inevitably have an extraordinarily intimate connection
shakespeare fucking writes viscerally, he is literally in your body, and that, my friend, that is why the best shakespearean actors don't posture and emote
you have to be fucking alive and passionate and electric - it can't be intellectual, in the end, it has to be about connection and the sweating, cheering, jeering, bleeding masses you're performing to, because make no mistake, shakespeare may go to lofty heights, but he only works if you're just as grounded in the earth. he has to be in your body. he has to be in your body.
holy motherfucking shit i love shakespeare so much, get him in your bones, breathe him in, stomp and rage and pine, dadum dadum dadum dadum dadum, it is literally to the beat of your heart
(via fuckingconversations)

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We were looking for a place card to combine with a grape vintage theme for my daughters' wedding. This was a perfect fit. Will definitely recommend this site to friends."
"These were perfect .I made holders from different wine corks that I had collected and the place cards looked wonderful in them. The paper quality was great and color was just what I wanted. The staff answered all my questions and delivery was ahead of schedule. I was more than pleased. Thank you."
"These are beautiful and coordinate perfectly with the other programs and menu cards in this line. We're using this for our nautical wedding. I should have paid more attention to the dimensions listed in the description, these are really small. We'll probably still use them but I would have preferred something with more room for the first and last names."
"These cards were perfect for my engagement party. I appreciated the fact that the lettering at the bottom of the card was able to be changed to whatever I wanted - instead of it saying "You are seated at table ____" I was able to put "Welcome to the Party!" and everyone loved them. Thank you!"
"Perfectly simple and elegant. On a related note, keep in mind that if you think you might order extra cards at some point, order them earlier with your original batch. For example, we ordered invitations with enclosure cards, and then needed to order more enclosure cards about a month later (with different dates on them for people we invited in "round 2"). The second set of enclosure cards were the exact same paper, but the colour of the ink was off from our original order (the shades were noticeably brighter). So, while the quality was always excellent, order everything you think you might need all at one time to avoid any differences in ink colours, etc."

How do you cope with a two year old who won't listen to you when your husband is at work and you are trying to nurse the baby? I have 3 beautiful girls, and I'm afraid that there isn't enough time in a day to spend with each one (the older 2) because i'm tied to the new born with nursing. How do you moms of more than 2 do it? My husband works 2nd shift so I'm home at night by myself, I really don't have anyone to help me out while he's there. Any suggestions on how to do this. Also, how do you cope with the lonelyness???? Sure, I have friends, but they are all too busy to come see me. My mother comes over often, but she never stays long because she's on her way home from work. (my parents live about 30 miles from me but work around my area) I'm exhausted and don't know what to do about my messy house. My husband helps but with him working 2nds it's hard for me to ask him to help during the week ( I haven't worked since Christmas). He's been working a lot of over time and gets home very late and sleeps most of the morning till about an hour before he has to go to work. I guess I'm just venting beacuse you don't know me and I really need someone to talk to. Not much conversation with a 7, 2 and 2 week old.
First, you have a two week old, so forget the house. You can clean it later. My son was two when my daughter was born and I would let him pick out a book and small snack for when I nursed. So I might say, "Grant, go pick out a book while mommy gets you some fruit snacks." Then I would sit him beside me and read while I nursed. Or I might ask him to pick out a couple of his favorite trucks and I would drive them around with him making siren noises while I nursed. He loved sharing his toys with me. If you make nursing a special time for your daughter, then she will look forward to it instead of act up. You can also offer stickers to her and your 7 year old when they do something to help you or are really good. My daughter is now 22 months and if I had a baby at this point I think she would like it if I sat in her room and let her cook for me in her kitchen while I nursed. Or we might all watch a short Elmo video while I nursed. We have one that is only 18 minutes long, so I don't feel too guilty about using it when I need to do something. Hang in there. It gets easier. I promise!
Dont be so hard on your self you are doin a good job.. Alot of mothers with two other children wouldnt even think of breastfeeding.. I have one that I'm breastfeeding.. It's a full time job in its self.. Maybe you can get the older child to help 'ENTERTAIN' the younger one while she nurses.. Maybe this helps
You sound like you are doing a great job already. Try involving the older children in small activities with the baby and asking them to help out in small ways too (such as picking up after themselves, or even just bringing you the remote ). That way they get to spend time with you and the baby and are helping out too.

Student Clubs
Native American Student Association
The Native American Student Association (NASA) works to bring cultural awareness to campus and the surrounding communities. NASA hosts several events throughout the year, including the All Campus Convocation and Thanksgiving Feast, Native American Awareness Week, and Northland's longest running event, the Northland College Annual Spring Pow Wow, now in its 35th year. Each year the Spring Powwow draws people from across the country together in a vibrant celebration of Native American cultures.
Roots for Change
Roots for Change (R4C) is a student led organization that focuses on activism in the community and nation. They work on issues they feel warrant more awareness, such as international and local social justice, environmentalism, and animal rights. R4C is also an umbrella club which sponsors larger events such as the annual trip to protest the SOA (a U.S. training facility, many graduates of which have been found guilty of grievous human rights violations in South America) and the Obama Campaign.
Dance Team
Since 2000, the Northland College Dance Team has performed at the half times of the men's and women's home basketball games. Dance Team is supported by the Northland College Student Association and has a faculty advisor, but the choreography, practice, and fundraising is run by students. In the winter of 2006, the dance team competed for the first time in the United Performance Association's National Dance Competition held in Minneapolis, and placed 7th in the Collegiate Open division. They do not hold tryouts, and welcome everyone to join them in supporting Northland's athletics.
United Cultures at Northland
United Cultures at Northland (UCAN) is a student group that celebrates ethnical, cultural, and geographical diversity. Members work to educate the Northland community about different cultures through such aspects as traditions, customs, or food. Students in this club have an active inclination to seek out and learn about the world at large and to share their experiences with their peers. UCAN's largest event is the annual Multicultural Fair which features tables showcasing cultures and countries with information, factoids, travel tips, food and more. This free event, which is also open to the wider community, also features free music, dance, and entertainment. UCAN raises funds for their efforts with an Ethnic Food Sale, in which UCAN members sell traditional meals, and a multi-cultural cookbook. UCAN has begun efforts to raise enough money to sponsor a cow for an impoverished family through Heifer International, an effort they hope to make an annual tradition.
American Fisheries Society
The members of the Northland College American Fisheries Society Sub-unit work to provide students interested in pursuing a career in the fisheries field with opportunities to gain experience and learn more about the different aspects of the fisheries field. They also help local agencies by volunteering their time for related projects and activities.
National Weather Association and American Meteorological Society
The Northland chapter of the National Weather Association and American Meteorological Society (NWA/AMS) serves as Northland's on-campus weather organization, working to make the community better aware of local weather. Students in the group run the Northland College Forecast Lab and provide automated local weather forecasts over the phone at 682-1488. The group also strives to educate the local community about weather hazards and safety by sponsoring the annual Skywarn™ class. NWA/AMS Volunteers also support the annual Book Across the Bay event by providing up to date weather information and an hourly forecast for the race.
Paws and Claws
Paws and Claws began as an organization for those students interested in pursuing a career in veterinary science, but has since broadened to include any students who have a passion for animals. The students host debates on various controversial issues relating to animals, and bring speakers to campus for club meetings. Speakers have included veterinarians, those studying chronic wasting disease in the deer populations, humane officers, managers of the Chequamegon Humane Association (CHA), animal trainers, as well as fellow students sharing their experiences. Throughout the year, the group takes trips to zoos, aquariums, farms, and horse ranches. Student in Paws and Claws also help dogs and cats at the CHA as a community service project.
Psi Chi
Northland's Psi Chi group is a member of the national undergraduate psychology honor society. Their purpose is to encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in the science of psychology. As a Northland club, students in Psi Chi run several events, such as movies and de-stress events as well as a community service project each semester.
uNight is a group of Northland students working to aid the resolution of the 20-year war in Uganda through fundraising, community education, and government petitioning for intervention. The humanitarian conflict in Uganda is not only a crisis rivaling that of the Darfur region in its severity, it has gone largely unnoticed by the global community. Almost two million people have been displaced, and those that can survive the direct violence must struggle against a host of deadly, preventable diseases which kill 1,000 people each week in government camps.
The Alliance
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Ally (LGBTA) Alliance works to bring understanding of LGBTA issues to the Northland community. The Alliance hosts many events throughout the school year: weekly discussion topics ranging from Prop 8 to Trans terminology to HIV/AIDS, National Coming Out Day, Drag shows every semester, and LGBTA Awareness Week. Whether gay, straight, bi, trans or questioning we welcome you to our meetings, all we ask is that you bring an open mind.
Art League
Because the arts are important for healthy community, Art League's focus is to bring creativity, and fun art-activities to the Northland Campus. Every year we organize a very successful Empty Bowl, take fieldtrips to see art and culture in Minneapolis and Duluth, host free Life Drawing every Tuesday, have workshops, collaborate on group art projects, and much more. Art League is ever changing depending on the strengths its members bring to the group. We are all about fun, creativity, and art for EVERYONE!
