I've been down that road. You know. The one that no one wants to go down. Divorce. It was the hardest time of my life… by far. I'm starting this blog in an effort to try and share some of my thoughts and reflections on marriage and divorce, but primarily on the decision to get married. Mainly I'm doing this in hopes of somehow helping you the reader, in some small way, with your decision-making process.
In a nutshell, it comes down to your understanding of love – true love, for yourself and your partner, the goals you have for your life, and the type of person you are. With this said, many times determining if you have all of these things are met and are sufficient for a lifetime… well, that can be one "tough call" as they say, a very difficult decision – and it should be. This is not something to take lightly, and when you think you have the decision made, you should go back and check on it again, and again. This isn't choosing a new car here. This decision on whether and who to marry is the most important decision that you will make towards your future happiness.
Let me repeat that. The decision to get married, and who to marry, should be the single most important decision of your life. The decision is not simple or clear-cut as some make it out to be, especially these days. Some make it out as simple as there are plenty of parties out there that make their business out of helping people figure out how to improve a rocky marriage and even more who are set up to help people simply get out of failed marriages, all essentially built on the result of poor decision making. Divorce is bad enough on the couple that are separating, but the real tragedy is for any children who came from the marriage. It's very easy and quick to get into a marriage. It can be extremely difficult and painful getting out of one.
My hope is to try and help people avoid the pain that I've gone through for years in a dysfunctional marriage. Someone may stumble upon this blog and potentially learn something which helps them with resources on how to deeply and thoughtfully consider whether they are on the right track with their decision process on the big question. There are many resources out there to help people with decisions, but sometimes it's hard to find the right ones that really touch on such an emotionally-charged decision.
Friends, family, hormones, biological clocks, peer pressure, society, religion, the list goes on – all deeply influence our hearts and minds. One of the key points we'll discuss is getting away from that and focusing on what you both feel and think about your situation. Sometimes it can be just remembering who you are, distinct and separate from all of those influences, and that you actually can be happy on your own, which can make all the difference and allow you to see clearly what is and maybe what is not working for you.
Valentine's Day. Flowers, chocolate, good wine, romantic dinners and all the sweetness. It can be wonderful. I remember it. Enjoy it – deeply. Tomorrow, after the date nights are over, and the expectations have been, or maybe have not been fulfilled, we'll take a look at those feelings and thoughts. Happy V-Day.

December Newsletter
How did it get to December so quickly? I don't know about you but the summer feels like it has only just finished.
But like it or not December (and Christmas) is here. ( Don't forget to order your Christmas gifts in good time for them to be delivered for the big day)!
Whether we love this time of year for its cosy nights in and promise of festivities or wish the spring and summer would simply follow on from autumn, there are still some gardening jobs to do and some fun to be had from the garden.
My advice is to get out and about on the clear, crisp days, hunker down on the dull and dreary ones and do a bit of planning too; because let's face it, warm spring weather and hot summer days will be here before we know it!
Happy gardening and a Happy Christmas too, from everyone here at Unwins!
Carry on planting dormant perennials and shrubs.
Tips for the garden...

Does the tingling and itching sensation within your ear make you irate sometimes and do you rush for a cotton bud? Well, it does so to millions of men and women when ear wax forms inside the ear canals! Ear wax or cerumen is formed naturally by glands inside your ear (1). This is formed by the body over time to prevent small particles like dust and germs from reaching the eardrum. However, ear wax, when accumulated can get hardened, and that can lead to a few issues in the long run. Naturally, the ear wax dries up and falls out of the ear, but this may not be the case always. For different people, the amount of ear wax can be varying. Both adults and children get affected by it. This is a lifelong issue and while it is not an ailment, cleaning up the ear wax can become necessary at times.
Need To Get Rid Of Ear Wax:
Ear wax is grayish or yellow in color, and the texture can vary. If you find that ear wax has gathered in large quantities inside the ear canal, removing it can be necessary. First of all, too much ear wax can create an itching sensation at times and impair the hearing efficacy. In fact, earwax can get hardened inside the ear canal. If it is oily or soft, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs. Given the fact that the ear canal remains mostly invisible to naked eyes, you may find removing ear wax properly somewhat tedious. The good thing is you can get ear wax removed without requiring medical skills or incurring a huge expense!
Ways To Remove Earwax From The Ear Canals:
There are a few ways that you can use to eliminate ear wax. These are:
- A lot of people prefer to get their ear canals checked by a doctor for ear wax removals. The doctors can use suction pumps and other specific medications to loosen ear wax and remove every bit of it using safe methods. In this way, you can also avoid the risk of ear infection.
- Millions of people use soft cotton ear buds for ear wax removal. While they make the process easier, handling them carefully is required to avoid injuring the ear canal. Besides, using the swabs and buds can barely do the job if the ear wax has become hardened.
- You can use coconut oil or body oil to soften the ear wax and extract it using cotton swabs. While the application of oil does loosen up the wax inside the ear lobe, it may also make the area moist and pave the way for germ breeding.
- There are a few medical solutions including OTC products that are used by several people for removing ear wax safely (2).
- You may also use household items like hydrogen peroxide to extract ear wax, which is quite safe and deemed effective.
[ Read: How To Get Rid of Clogged Ear ]
Why Use Hydrogen Peroxide For Removal Of Ear Wax:
Hydrogen peroxide is found in nearly every household, and it has been used extensively for treating infections (3) and cuts for ages. It does not produce harmful effects on the skin or body parts when used in the right way and amount. It is quite mild in nature and affordable as well. When applied to the skin, it releases oxygen. This, in turn, removes the dead skin and cleans the area. It can be used to loosen the ear wax and extract it from ear canals easily. You can find hydrogen peroxide in any chemist shop and online easily. After buying, ensure you store the bottle away from any source of heat or sunlight. This solution degenerates when it is kept in proximity to heat.
Ways To Eradicate Ear Wax Using Hydrogen Peroxide:
You will need to use the following ingredients to get rid of ear wax at home:
- Hydrogen peroxide – 3 percent solution
- A few bowls
- Water
- Soft cloth or towel
- Cotton balls
- Cotton ear buds
- Olive oil
- A dropper
First, warm both the oil and hydrogen peroxide solution a bit. This helps in loosening the ear wax and makes the overall process a lot simpler.
Method 1:
Use this method if the amount of ear wax accumulated is quite small. Dip a cotton bud in hydrogen peroxide solution and then dip it into the ear canal (4). Rotate it gently to loosen and pick up the ear wax. Use it a few times to clean the ear canal. Ensure that you move it inside the ear quite slowly.
Method 2:
Resort to this method when the amount of ear wax remaining in your ear canal is quite a lot, and it is quite hardened as well. Keep in mind that this process is going to take quite some time.
- First of all, take the dropper and suck in a few drops of warm olive oil in it.
- Lie on the bed with your ear facing the ceiling. In this posture, you may find it hard to drop the oil in ear canal quite difficult, as you cannot see it. So, ask a friend or someone in your family to drop the oil using a dropper into the ear canal. Do not move at this time. Let the oil get soaked by the ear wax and wait for some time. Fifteen minutes or so will do the trick.
- Then, use the dropper to take in a few drops of warm hydrogen peroxide solution. Ask the friend to pour a few drops of the solution in the ear canal. After it is done, you will feel a slight tingling inside the ear canal. Lie in the position for 10 minutes or a little more. Let the solution loosen up the wax.
- After that, place a towel beside the ear and on the bed. Put your head in slanting position. The ear wax, weakened by the solution and the oil will drain out of the ear canal.
- If the ear wax is hardened, it may not drain out on its own. You may have to use the cotton swabs or buds to take out the remaining ear wax from the ear canal slowly.
- Now, do the steps mentioned above for the other ear as well. The overall procedure may take close to an hour.
- Keep in mind that you might need to do this for a few times or a week if the ear wax is really hard and the accumulated amount is quite a lot. All the wax may not get extracted in just one application, but within a day or two, you will be rid of all the ear wax!
- After all the ear wax has been extracted and drained out, you will need to use cotton balls and swabs to dry out the ear canal slowly. Ensure you use them with caution.
Cautions To Keep In Mind:
While using hydrogen peroxide to clean ear wax is thought to be effective, you still need to be careful. Keep the following points in mind for safety.
- You should not use hydrogen peroxide to clean ear wax if you are already afflicted with an ear infection. In fact, you should not apply any other solution or oil in the ear canal during such periods to avoid infections.
- There are various types of hydrogen peroxide solutions in the market that you can buy. Ensure that you buy the type with 3 percent solution for safety reasons (5).
- After you clean both the ear canals with hydrogen peroxide, the ear cavities will be moist. Do not leave them in that condition. Doing so may lead to accumulation of germs and result in the risk of infection.
- To clean the ear with hardened ear wax, you will have to apply hydrogen peroxide for a few times. However, do not make it too frequent as doing so will dry out the ear canal excessively.
- If you find applying hydrogen peroxide is not doing the needful for ear wax removal, even after many applications, visit a doctor. This can happen when the ear wax has become way too hardened. The doctor may use special fluids and devices to extract the ear wax safely.
- After you have cleaned the ear wax using hydrogen peroxide and other accessories, ensure everything, including your towel or dropper, is dipped in hot water and sterilized using disinfectant solutions. This will eliminate any risk of infection spreading through these products. It is also necessary that you clean your hands with soap after cleaning the ear with this solution for the same reason.
- Hydrogen peroxide is gentle on the skin and does not lead to burning sensation or corrosion. However, those with sensitive skin may find it a little too tough. They may add it to some water before applying on ear wax.
Hydrogen peroxide is a tested and proven way to get rid of ear wax ever so gently. So, the next time you feel your ear throbbing and suspect ear wax as the culprit, try hydrogen peroxide!

On Monday, the Sarasota City Commission will begin to reexamine an ambitious plan for the waterfront that was shelved almost immediately after its approval due to the recent economic downturn.
The city spent four years formulating a Cultural Park Concept Plan to guide the development of city-owned property surrounding the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center. The city's 2020 downtown master plan identified the bayfront area as underutilized land with the potential to house spaces for various public and commercial uses.
The city approved the Cultural Park Concept Plan in 2007. A task force was formed to develop a strategic action plan for implementing various aspects of the concept plan, but abandoned its efforts in spring 2008 due to the economic conditions.
At Monday's meeting, city staff will present commissioners with an overview of the 2007 plan. Staff is seeking a recommendation from the commission regarding how to proceed with the Cultural Park planning process.
A group of Sarasota nonprofits are concurrently reexamining the visioning process for the Cultural Park. The group has reached out to a consulting firm to begin a conversation between public and private organizations about producing an updated master plan for the land and several adjoining properties.
Visit Sarasota County Board of Directors chairman Michael Klauber said the group is hoping to get the commission's blessing before proceeding with its efforts.
Monday's City Commission meeting will be held at the Sarasota County Commission administration building, 1660 Ringling Blvd., as the City Hall commission chambers undergo audio/visual upgrades.

Alright, Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and if you're in love and a fan of heartburn, I have the perfect answer for you: valentines KFC table service. You can sit down at a table in a KFC establishment and given linen linen napkins, flowers, a silver candelabra, table service (with your giant bucket of chicken served on a little raised stand) and even your very own soft drink sommelier to recommend the perfect soft drink to go with your choice of sides. It sounds ridiculous, yes. But considering we'll spend roughly $19 billion dollars in Valentine's day this year ($4 billion more than we spend for the Super Bowl) this might be an option worth looking at.
First, God created tiny dogs. Then we bred them to be even tinier so they could fit in our purses. Then we created micro-pigs, and now in the latest trend in tiny domesticated animals: thumb monkeys! I know it's not as cute and cuddly as the tree lobster, which the San Diego Zoo has just brought back from near extinction, but it will have to do. This wasn't man-made. It's a pygmy marmoset that exists in the wild, but now people are buying them illegally for thousands of dollars. It is smaller than a hamster and only weighs about five ounces. And…it wraps perfectly around your thumb! Very Instagram-worthy. Mainly the 1%ers in China are kicking this off, but I'm sure we'll see more thumb monkeys in the States in no time.
I don't want to crush anyone's dreams, but you're probably not going to win a Grammy anytime soon (unless you're Taylor Swift, in which case, hi). But that doesn't mean you shouldn't know what it feels like to stand up onstage and receive the most respected award in the music industry. I guess that's why this year they're putting tiny cameras inside the Grammy awards so you can look out onto the audience from the perspective of the winning artist. It's a simplified version of a GoPro and is being placed inside the base of the Grammy statuette. It will now be known as the "GrammyCam." But when will the camera feed stop? Will we then get to see Taylor Swift forgetting her Grammy in the bathroom, or see the inside of Florence's house when she places it in her bathroom? We'll have to see just how far it goes.
A dyslexic employee has just won a lawsuit against Starbucks for discrimination. And I know, you're wondering which dyslexic employee? Aren't they all dyslexic? From the way they spell even basic names like Jessica, you'd think it's part of their hiring criteria. But this woman was accused of fraud by Starbucks now when she screwed up someone's name, when she recorded inaccurate temperatures of the water and fridge in her location. She tried to tell them she only screwed the numbers up because of her condition, but Starbucks wouldn't believe her. But she got her day in court and Starbucks is now being punished for discriminating her. But they're not too upset, because she thinks she's been awarded $000001 dollars.
Do you really enjoy the new show you're watching? The BBC wants to know. But they don't want you to fill out a survey or track what shows you watch, they want to take it a step further with emotion trackers that scan your face and find out how you really feel about Downton Abbey. The aim is for it to track whatever subconscious attachment you may have to the shows you watch. Right now it tracks sadness, puzzlement, happiness, fear, rejection and surprise. For me, pretty much every show on Bravo will give me feelings of sadness and puzzlement, but this technology is starting in the UK first, and it's proving to be very successful.
We get horrible reviews for the is show on a daily basis, but we don't claim to be Michelin-star radio. This chef on the other hand is a Michelin-star chef and was not thrilled when he received a one-star review of his restaurant Purnell's, a fine dining establishment in England. The reviewer rambled on and on about how small the portions were compared to prices, that it was immoral, disgraceful, and that the chef should tune into MasterChef to take notes on how food should be served. They were appalled that the six course tasting menu only consisted of a couple bites of food, and you guessed it, they were there on a voucher. The chef, who has been cooking professionally since the age of 14, decided to issue a personal response. He said this reviewer never gave any indication they were dissatisfied when they were actually IN the restaurant, and that perhaps they would be more satisfied watching Man Vs Food. See the full reviews:
Here's a new trend geared toward thick-necked people like me: neck contouring. If you have a new updo you've been wanting to try out but are embarrassed by your fat neck, just use makeup to contour the back of your neck and make it look sleek and sexy. It's not enough anymore to wear makeup on your face. It now needs to translate to your entire head, neck and all. Just paint the sides of your neck with a dark bronzer and fill the middle in with a light foundation and blend, blend, blend. Never mind that you can't see what you're doing or that you're likely going to have makeup all over your shirt, it's still better than looking like the hulk.
Would you date a bisexual woman? Most men will say yes. Some lesbians will say no. But regardless, bisexual women have it pretty good in the dating world. Bisexual men on the other hand have a tougher time, and a recent study on sexuality showed that 63% of women said they would not date a man if he has slept with another man. Meanwhile, 47 percent of women say they've been attracted to another woman, and of that group, 31 percent have had a sexual experience with another woman. Also, only 3 percent ranked sex as the most important aspect of a relationship.

I'd like to introduce you to Sacramento's next '#GIRLBOSS', designer and entrepreneur Stina Faye. You might recognize her as co-creator of the very popular High Standards custom denim shorts, started in 2011. Remember those? I still got mine!
Since ending the business in 2014, Stina rediscovered her niche and has recently launched her newest venture, ByStinaFaye. Over the past few years, I've watched Stina transform from a social media mogul (ah, the MySpace days) and blossom into a well-versed designer/entrepreneur. It's no surprise that her favorite book is Sophia Amoruso's #GIRLBOSS, because she's well on her way to success and queendom.
Peep my interview with Stina Faye below.
Describe yourself in 3 words.
Thinker. Goofy. Passionate.
I can vouch for her on the "goofy" part, lol.
Pizza or tacos?
Tacos all day.
Tell me one thing most people don't know about you?
I'm a lot nerdier than people presume. I think spending half my life in front of a computer screen may be the reason for my endless amount of useless facts that I spew out at my friends or my ability to troubleshoot technology behind my wide framed glasses that I'm constantly pushing up my nose Monday-Friday 🙂
If you could give your teenage self advice, what would you say?
NONE OF THE THINGS YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT ARE GOING TO MATTER 10 YEARS FROM NOW. *drops mic*
Boom. Got 'em.
How would you describe your design style/aesthetic?
Definitely very feminine. If you're a girly-girl, you'll probably be drawn to my work. I try not to limit myself to one style only and can dabble in just about anything. But if you have a girly vision I'm definitely going to be able to deliver it.
What's the biggest challenge you currently face as an entrepreneur?
My biggest challenge right now has honestly been maintaining confidence in myself. I keep having these moments where I doubt my abilities to do something then end up surprising myself when I pull it off.
What made you get into graphic design?
My journey began back in 2004 when social media started becoming a thing. The most important parts of my days at that time were keeping my Sims characters alive and creating image blends of my favorite celebrities and music quotes on Paint Shop Pro to share on my Xanga and design forums. As we evolved into MySpace, I started learning how to edit my photos to make them stand out from the rest. I took web and graphic design courses in high school and learned how to use Adobe Design programs, and HTML, which of course helped with my MySpace layout skills. I didn't get out much during my teen years and spent A LOT of time time online. I somehow became some mythical creature from MySpace that no one ever saw in real life but everyone had on their friends list.
She's right. I was "friends" with Stina on MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter for a solid four years before we met and became friends IRL.
I had plans to go to the Art Institute in San Francisco for Graphic Design after high school but I chickened out and withdrew before I started. I was a little lost—like most after high school. Having interests in writing, design, and fashion had me wanting to find a way to dip my hands into all things at once. I started out at community college taking journalism, hoping to write for a fashion magazine one day…that didn't last long. I focused on my GE and kind of floated around for a while. I definitely went to college long enough to have a degree but just came out with a bunch of knowledge instead lol!
How did High Standards come to be?
One summer in 2011, my friends & I took a trip to a thrift store in search of high-waisted jeans to turn into cut-offs so we wouldn't have to pay full price for a pair (some were selling for $100+ on eBay at this time). We bought studs, scissors, denim and went to work. After we completed our creations, we stood back and realized we could make a business out of this. I posted the first pair of shorts that they created on social media and got a little buzz. From there, I created a Facebook page for us to reach a broader audience, took pictures of our products, reached out to "Tumblr famous" girls for promotion, my partner came up with the clever name "High Standards" and that's where it all began.
As our popularity surged through social media, we were getting noticed by models like Justene Jaro and Jessica Burciaga which really helped us take off. We were getting more orders than our own two pairs of hands could handle and would sell out quicker than we could restock. It was a good problem to have, but still a problem. I was always the business-minded one who was in charge of our graphics, website, customer service, finances, and of course, creating shorts simultaneously. I didn't mind the workload, I guess I enjoy being in control. My partner was more of the hands-on type and was really efficient at getting shorts done. At the time, I was also taking classes in fashion, not for a degree but to pick up new skills. I took Fashion Entrepreneurship, Fashion Illustration, and Apparel Construction just to soak up as much information and skills as I could.
Why did you decide to end business at High Standards?
Over time, high waisted shorts slowly saturated the mainstream markets. We were no longer competing with other indie brands on 'who can come up with the most creative designs', but having to compete with commercial retailers like Forever 21, who about 2 years later caught up to what we were doing and were completing ripping indie brand designs off. It was very difficult to compete with factory made shorts for $19.99 when our time and pieces were valued so much more than that. The vintage denim was getting harder to find, our sales were dropping, and my business partner was about to have a baby! While we had an amazing 3 year run, the best business decision ultimately became to close down shop. I spent a little over a year after High Standards in a total creative slump. I was trying my hardest to figure out what's next — I was going to go crazy if I had to settle for a 9-5 after I spent the past 3 years dreaming and scheming on how to be a self-made entrepreneur. I felt like I had failed and thinking of High Standards was very painful for me.
How did you get yourself out of that creative slump?
After many months of trying new things and attempting to figure out my path, I found my way back to design. My former business partner and close friend, Kayla, had her beautiful baby girl and asked me if I could design thank you cards for her baptism. I happily obliged and was impressed with my work. Of course, a light bulb went off in my head—everyone I know is having babies & getting married, I have the perfect business model!
From that point (a little over 6 months ago), I was inspired to refine my skills and get back to my graphic design roots. It's really funny how everything ends up coming full circle in life. Now I'm focusing a lot of my time on customizing my clients events and branding small businesses and individuals and feel so content with my purpose again. I no longer look back at High Standards as something I failed at and instead view it as a needed experience that got me closer to my craft today.
What advice would you give a young woman looking to start her own business?
Definitely do your research. Get to know not only your market, but your competition. Learn about taxes! Taxes had me so stressed out — I learned a lot as I went along, but I wish I knew more before I started. Stay on top of your finances, don't keep your entire revenue as profit for yourself. It's important to put the money you're earning back into your business (a significant amount at that) before you can claim a profit. And most importantly, don't doubt yourself and don't be down on yourself when things don't pan out perfectly. If you believe you can reach your goals and you're willing to put in the work and sacrifice, it's always going to be possible.
What does being a #BetterGirl mean to you?
Being a #BetterGirl means persevering through all the curveballs that life has to throw at us and still finding the strength to come out on top. When I think of a 'Better Girl', I think she's fierce, she's a hustler, and she's ambitious. The lovely ladies behind #BetterGirls and the amazing women they have featured are so inspiring, so this is an honor to me. Thanks for the opportunity to spark a fire inside of others with my story!

Naming Opportunities
Impact the future of Liberal Arts with a leadership gift. Naming opportunities are available at a range of levels. For information, contact the Office of Development and External Affairs by phone (317) 278-1839 or email, firstname.lastname@example.com. Endowed faculty positions and some scholarships may be eligible for a university match.
To Name the School
The IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI is one of the core undergraduate schools of Indiana's only major urban research campus. It is the second largest school on the IUPUI campus (as measured in student credit hours taught, number of faculty/staff, budget), serving all undergraduate students and offering graduate programs in all but one department. Faculty of the School attract significant research funding annually, ranking third only to the School of Medicine and the College of Arts and Sciences-Bloomington in external research funding.
The Dean of the School of Liberal Arts is the academic and administrative leader of the broad community of learning that is represented in the twelve departments and multiple centers, programs and institutes representing the humanities and social sciences. An endowment naming this position would provide the resources for this leadership position to advance the development of new academic collaborations, support research, undergraduate and graduate programs, develop student focused initiatives, community outreach opportunities and more.
Centers, Programs and Institutes are lead and administered by Directors who are themselves noted scholars in their fields. Their administrative responsibilities support the research mission of the particular center, program or institute, and include both financial and personnel resource development.
Virtual Chair
New technologies applied to undergraduate and graduate teaching and research require expertise beyond a particular disciplinary interest. A "Virtual Chair" might be held by someone whose is skilled in developing and using the new technologies in both research and teaching.
Faculty Chair in an Academic Department
Endowing a named chair in an academic department enables the donor to support study and scholarship in the Liberal Arts. Specifically, a donor may select that area that they believe to be most critical to a successful study of the Liberal Arts. Named chairs attract strong faculty members and students and enhance the reputation of the department and school as well as the university. Endowment funds may be used to support scholarly research, provide for research assistance, build academic programs, and to develop other projects deemed to support the work of the department.
Faculty Chair in a Specific Program Area
Donors may choose to support specific areas of scholarly exploration such as Medical Humanities, Jewish Studies, Gender Studies and Civil War History. Funding a faculty chair allows a donor to make a difference in teaching and research by creating a prestigious permanent position in a particular area. The endowed position not only will attract high caliber faculty, but it will also improve the quality and prestige of the program itself. The endowment income may support students, provide necessary technology, fund seminars and workshops and generally enhance teaching and research.
Named professorships recognize distinguished scholars and provide for additional resources to reward scholarship, teaching and service. A funded professorship can support salary enhancements and provide for library resources, travel needs or other opportunities for the professor to advance knowledge and further the school and university's educational mission. The endowed position will attract and recognize high caliber faculty, while also benefiting the discipline.
Faculty Fellowship
Named fellowships recognize distinguished scholars and provide for additional resources to reward scholarship, teaching and service. A faculty fellowship can support salary enhancements and provide for library resources, travel needs or other opportunities for the professor. Faculty fellows will be key contributors to their discipline(s), the School, and campus, and will in turn have the special recognition and support of an endowed position.
A named lectureship provides an opportunity to recognize and support the outstanding contribution made by lecturers. Typically, lecturers teach many of the introductory courses (such as composition and public speaking) in the school's larger departments and are non-tenure track instructors who do not enjoy the same benefits as tenure track professors. Donors may support and recognize the teaching and service of this important faculty group.
Graduate Research Assistantship
Endowed graduate research assistantships create important opportunities for graduate students to work in tandem with research faculty. Typically, a graduate research assistantship covers tuition and a living stipend. Named graduate research assistantships supported by endowment allows the student to devote his or her efforts to their research agenda as they progress through degree work.
Graduate Internships and Fellowships
Endowed internships and fellowships create important opportunities to gain the practical experience necessary to accompany academic knowledge. Named internships supported by endowments allow the student to take part in experiential learning opportunities and devote his or her efforts where they are most needed, while at the same time following his or her academic interests.
Lecture Series
One responsibility of the university is to provide opportunities that bring together students and faculty, alumni and staff, friends and community members for the purpose of intellectual exploration. Named internships supported by endowments allow the student to take part in experiential learning opportunities and devote his or her efforts where they are most needed, while at the same time following his or her academic interests. A named lectureship and enables the School to recruit important speakers, market the lecture to the correct audience, and pay for the other expenses associated with a successful series.
Students can study more and work less, therefore, devoting more energy and effort to learning. Scholarships can come in every shape and size and allow the donor to focus their gift narrowly on students studying in a specific area or can be more broadly defined within the School. Named scholarships begin at $25,000 (provides one, $1125 scholarship per year), but have no gift level limit. (For example, a $1 million gift for scholarships can support up to 4-5, full in-state tuition scholarships at one time within a year.) Scholarships may be able to receive matching funds beginning at the $50,000 level.
Name a Laboratory
Technology is a critical tool in the study of the Liberal Arts. Faculty use technology in their teaching, writing and research, and students use technology to practice language and public speaking, to write, to research, and to learn the skills necessary to enter the workforce. In Liberal Arts, technology labs are at the center of many of the programs. The School houses the only video production facility on the IUPUI campus, is home to the American Sign Language/English Interpreting degree program and its state-of-the-art facilities, the Social Sciences lab supports both the complicated work of the Economics Department and the Geography Department's Geographic Information Science program. Finally, the Multimedia Language Resource Center is a critical center for the study of foreign languages. These technology centers provide an opportunity to endow facilities that are absolutely essential to each student's education.
Name an Endowed Research Center or Program
A strong endowment is critical to the longevity and success of a research center. Without an endowment, research centers must focus on raising funds needed to sustain the center each year. A named center would be able to focus less on fundraising and focus more on the important scholarly work at hand. Endowment interest would be used to support the center's efforts to explore important aspects of our world, serve as a resource for other scholars and students, publish books, articles, etc., maintain its facilities and human resources, and much, much more. The work of the centers housed in the School of Liberal Arts has already received local and national attention, but there is always more work to be done. A named research center is an important way for a dedicated donor to support scholarly work in perpetuity.

Skip to comments.'Arizona Highways' Pulls October Issue Over Mushroom Error
Posted on 09/14/2013 12:18:35 PM PDT by nickcarraway
Arizona Highways magazine today announced its October 2013 issue features an item on page 13, in which the fly agaric mushroom is identified as being edible. The fly agaric mushroom should not be consumed in its raw form because of its unpredictable psychotropic and physical effects.
This issue will not be sold on newsstands, and we are alerting our subscribers to the mistake. We regret the error, said Win Holden, publisher of Arizona Highways magazine.
Arizona "HIGH" ways....
They sure are purdy though.
the stories of people "inadvertantaly""flying" off the top of tall buildings...and attempting to do other mpossible stunts will likely soon start flooding the news outlets
Fly Agaric Mushrooms are POTENT Wacky Medicine
I have it on good authority that actually consuming...rather than smoking same often makes the "diner" get the sense they are INVINCIBLE
OK. The big mushroom was in New Mexico (Trinity Site).
But the mushroom IS edible. Where is the error?
If anyone is daring enough to pick wild mushrooms for food, it's essential that they regularly consume large amounts of milk thistle herb, or its active ingredient "silymarin".
The reason is that poisonous mushroom are so poisonous that they can destroy a person's liver in less than a week, and silymarin is the only known substance that *might* protect their liver.
In fact the poison is so incredibly toxic that there have been cases of people who had their livers destroyed, then got a transplant liver, and there was still enough poison in their system to destroy it as well.
Silymarin works in three ways. First it protects the liver from the direct effects of the poison. Second it inhibits the uptake of the poison into the liver, giving it more of a chance to metabolize the poison. And third, it stimulates regrowth of damage to the liver 1/3rd faster than normal. It is close to the perfect liver drug.
Only one mammal is known to be immune to the effects of poisonous mushrooms. Rabbits.
LOL! Reminds me of a comment made by the instructor while taking a survival course: "Edible does not mean good to eat, it just means that you will not drop dead face first in your plate."
Arizona Highways has not been the same since they went Commercial.
Used to be a real good magazine, now it is like most travel magazines.
One scene partially remembered from "Taxi" has Jim Ignatowski telling a story from his past on forgiveness, saying he and his BFF were doing mushrooms on top of some mountain, and his friend ate the one. "And I forgave him for that. Not because he thought he could fly and jump off the cliff to his death, but...".
I just got my copy in the mail. I wonder if I can sell it on EBay now for big bucks
It's worth a try!

to repair or to optimize?
Hi – when should I repair or optimize a database? I have the DB MAnager plugin installed, and my site's posts (called lessons) are suddenly not showing their contents. I can the contents in the .sql file. I have updated wordpress to 3.5.1 and buddypress to 1.7.1. I have posted my problem in the buddypress forum as well, but in general, does this sound like a database repair issue? PLease advise. I figure I should repair all of the tables. But what is the difference between repair and optimize? Thanks!

Hi there Nan! Sorry I've been AWOL lately from your blog, but I've been having problems with my internet. (Still am!) So I struggle to download anything. Frustration! Today it seems better. I LOVE your inspiration here! So my style! The turquoise is gorgeous. Strangely I am not a 'yellow' person and yet lately I have been drawn to it and I love the little yellow/lime touches here. Hope your warm weather continues! We're heading for Autumn here. The leaves have already started to change and the evenings are a couple of degrees cooler. Still hot by day though thankfully. We don't really have a proper 'Fall" as you do. The changing leaves aren't as noticeable & we kind of stumble from summer into winter. Hoping to update my blog soon as my interet is sorted! keep well! Vxx

For access to the elite division of the Ukrainian hockey players need to occupy one of first two places.
The management of Federation of hockey of Ukraine announced players a bonus for an exit in the elite division.
"Much more than what it was last year, for the victory in the division IB. In the case of pure winning the tournament, the amount may increase — negotiations are underway with one of the sponsors", — told Today by a source in the FCS.
Recall that the world hockey championship will be held in Kyiv Sports Palace from April 22 to April 28. To to Premier League need to take in the tournament of six teams, one of two first places.

The following editorial appeared in the Sacramento Bee on Tuesday:
Voters may have voted for "change" on Nov. 4, but for now, they are stuck with the same old gridlock in Washington.
Exhibit A: The economic stimulus bill that the nation desperately needs to soften the blow of a coming recession.
Passage of a bill has been held up since October as Democrats and Republicans dicker over a range of issues, including entitlement spending and a proposed bailout of the auto industry.
With each passing day, thousands more Americans are losing their jobs.
Instead of continuing on this road to gridlock, Democrats and Republicans would be wise to focus on the one aspect of the stimulus bill they both support - investment in infrastructure.
All across the country, bridges, sewage treatment systems, roads, schools and flood-control levees are in sorry shape. Some are literally crumbling, posing threats to life and property.
If Congress were to invest quickly in an array of projects, with an emphasis on public safety and environmental protection, it would provide a lasting legacy. It would also create tens of thousands of jobs while helping some cities and states deal with their own budget troubles.
Consider, for instance, the nationwide problem of sewage overflows. Many older cities, such as Sacramento, have combined sewer-stormwater systems that overflow during big storms, dumping untreated waste into rivers and drinking-water reservoirs.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, at least $202 billion is needed to prevent sewer overflows at some 16,000 wastewater treatment plants across the country. While Congress can't invest that kind of money immediately, it could make a down payment on a health threat that grows bigger every year.
Also consider the nation's rail and bus systems. According to the American Public Transit Association, $4.6 billion worth of transit projects are ready to begin construction today nationwide. Investing in transit will pay off in cleaner air, while providing jobs for laid-off manufacturing and construction workers.
In testimony to Congress last month, David G. Mongan, president of the American Society of Civil Engineers, said that "the dangers of the nation's crumbling infrastructure to our economic health are as great as those posed by the current financial crisis."
He's right. Consider the economic devastation caused in New Orleans by the failure of flood walls and levees during Hurricane Katrina.
In late October, the House passed a $61 billion stimulus bill that included significant funding for public works, but it bogged down in the Senate - and faced a threatened veto by President Bush - partly because of spending deemed to be "pork."
There's a legitimate debate to be had on whether projects such as deep-port dredging, airport expansion and freeway interchanges unduly favor a narrow set of interests or industries. Congress shouldn't finance "bridges to nowhere" to the detriment of existing bridges that need immediate repairs.
But all Americans benefit from investments in parks, schools, flood control and water quality. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other congressional leaders should immediately invest in a lean, green package of public works.

Chris Umiastowski is the growth investor for Globe Investor's Strategy Lab. Follow his contributions here and view his model portfolio here.
Last week in my Strategy Lab column, I talked about how I've had to become very comfortable with others thinking I'm either irrational or even nuts when it comes to some of my long-term investments. I pay attention to well-discussed bear arguments when I'm on the bull side of the bet, but I now see disagreement by large numbers of investors or industry observers as essential in allowing for long-term upside.
But there's another so-called "problem" with the kind of long-term growth investing I do. When a company is charting new waters and disrupting an industry, the sentiment around the stock can ebb and flow in different directions at any time. This results in a lot of volatility. Companies like Netflix and Amazon are probably the best examples of this in my model growth portfolio. Apple and Google are better examples of my personal longer-term holdings. (I personally own all four stocks.)
I've developed a simple attitude about volatility that has always helped me sleep at night. I understand that at some point in time some of my most interesting growth investments will probably decline 50 per cent or more in value. I could have picked any number, but the important thing to keep in mind is that all great stocks will experience great drops. Learn to live through it.
Some readers may think that's easy for me to say because my model portfolio is up about 160 per cent since since inception in September 2012. But my return is irrelevant. There have been times when I've bought stocks only to watch them embark on a swift, sharp and painful drop. If this happened to you, and you allowed your emotions to get involved, it would be easy to feel as if the whole market was colluding against you. But if you leave emotions out of it and follow your beliefs about an industry or company, you can safely ignore the volatility while others run scared.
Quantitatively, I challenge readers to find me a stock with index-smashing performance over many years that hasn't experienced a huge drop at some point, if not at multiple points in time. In 2011, Netflix crashed from $300 to under $70 and only a year later it crashed from over $120 to almost $50. It now trades closer to $400. In late 2012 Apple crashed from $700 to a bottom of about $400 by early 2013. It's already recaptured about half of that move and I'm patient in my expectation for new highs. In late 2008 Amazon dropped from about $80 to $35. The stock trades above $350 today.
I got an email from a reader last week who wanted to know if I use stop-loss orders in my account. A stop-loss is a standing order to sell a stock once it drops below a certain price. People sometimes use these types of orders to limit their loss on an initial investment, or they may constantly adjust stop-loss price limits to try to sell near a peak price.
I can understand why traders, who are looking to outsmart the market in the short term, would use a stop-loss to limit their pain on any trade. It's consistent with their belief that they can time the market.
But consider the question from the angle of a long-term investor who understands that all great stocks experience great drops. Why would you implement a stop loss which effectively guarantees you'll sell too early in an epic rise? I can't predict when the big drops will happen any better than I can predict when I'm going to be run down with a common cold. Neither can I predict the per cent decline that will happen before a great stock starts rising again.
Stop loss orders are not for me, and I don't think they should be used by most long-term investors. If you are a long-term investor and you believe you can't time the market, then a stop-loss is a tool to force you to sell when Wall Street is depressed rather than when it actually makes sense.
I admit, there might be a case to occasionally use a stop-loss order when you've determined you want to sell a stock fairly soon and would like to protect yourself against large drops. But I personally never use stop-loss orders.
As a long-term investor in great companies, I think you are best served with a buy-and-hold approach. Accept that stocks, at times, drop a lot. The great ones recover and keep growing.

1940s/WWII: Military development of submarines and surface ships leads to accurate ocean charts and improved equipment.
1. Liquid, solid, gas; Usually solid forms are most dense. Hydrogen bonds cause water molecules to attract each other, bringing them closer together. Hydrogen bonds freeze into an open but rigid pattern in the solid form.
1. Surface: mixed layer from surface to as much as 300 meters deep; temperatures determined by seasonal change and latitude, with range from 22°C to 30°C
2. Middle zone: bottom of mixed layer to about 1000 meters deep; temperature falls rapidly with depth to low of about 5°C.
3. Deep water below 1000 meters deep; around 2°C everywhere except for isolated waters.
1. Salinity is the amount of dissolved salts in water. Ocean water contains many different dissolved salts, but mostly sodium chloride. Salinity varies according to ocean depth, amount of fresh water entering, and temperature extremes.
2. Salts enter and leave the ocean through natural processes such as volcanic eruptions and sediment settling. Salts must enter and leave in balanced quantities.
1. Phytoplankton: free-floating microscopic plants; base of ocean food chain; live in mixed layer; create ocean energy with photosynthesis; can support populations of microscopic animals.
2. Zooplankton: live in mixed layer; microscopic marine animals; consume phytoplankton; provide food and animals large and small; moderate salinity during shell building.
3. Nekton: free-swimming marine organisms such as fish; live mostly in mixed layer, but some deeper; consume zooplankton and each other.
1. Coral are tiny marine animals and the skeletal remains they leave behind. Immobile coral feed on food carried by passing currents. The reefs formed of skeletal remains provide food and shelter for marine life and shore protection
2. With very limited oxygen in the water, only certain marine animals can survive in deep water. They don't need sunlight. The smallest use chemosynthesis to produce food; others feed on these chemosynthetic bacteria. Ocean floor vents emit warm waters and help produce the hydrogen sulfide gas necessary for chemosynthesis.

Our approach to world records is open and participatory: we allow people to invent world record categories, document them on video and post them on our site for others to watch or challenge. It leads to international competition in categories as far-reaching as "Fastest Time to Solve a Rubik's Cube While Unicycling" and "Most Times Smiling While Listening to 'Beat It'". We embrace world records for what they are: fun, creative forms of self-expression, with a good deal of competition mixed in.
If the team at Guinness World Records is open to a competition for Most World Record Organization Employees Twerking Simultaneously, we are down for the challenge. Name a time and place and we'll be there.

On October 15, 2015, the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a final rule intended to streamline the process of reporting residential mortgage market information for financial institutions. Regulation C implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and requires lenders to report certain information regarding home loans for which they receive applications or that they originate or purchase. The final rule amends current Regulation C requirements by calling for more specific information from lenders, such as property value, term of the loan, and the duration of any teaser or introductory interest rates. In addition, financial institutions will be obligated to deliver certain information about mortgage loan underwriting and pricing, such as an applicant's debt-to-income ratio, the interest rate of the loan, and the discount points charged for the loan. Aside from requiring lenders to report more detailed information, the final rule also attempts to simplify the reporting process by easing reporting requirements for some small banks and credit unions and aligning reporting requirements more closely with industry standards. The rule also provides guidance on compliance with both new and existing requirements under Regulation C.

Christian'Dee - Thurzdey
By Lucas G. | Posted September 6, 2013
Artist: Christian Deshun
Track: Thurzdey
Producer: Canis Major
Album: Unreleased
I know it's almost the weekend, so your mind is on Saturday and Sunday, but do me a favor and keep Thurzdey in your thoughts as well. It's not as if you'll be able to forget Christian'Dee's latest cut, anyway. It has been a good "minute" since we have heard from the Shreveport, LA.. native; his last Booth feature was fall 2012's fittingly-titled SHVPXRT album—but he's back with a bang. Thurzdey is a very powerful cut, thanks in large part to Canis Major's haunting string production and 'Dee's unique vocal approach. The artist's erratic cadence evokes a edgy, ominous vibe, but his cascading delivery is still quite smooth. Dee is working on a new project, titled Subtle Weekends, but the set isn't slated for release until 2014.

Robin Roundy, Chair
College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Advisement Center
The degree program in the Department of Mathematics is open enrollment.
Mathematics is a means of dealing with order, pattern, and number as seen in the world around us. The abilities to compute, to think logically, and to take a reasoned approach to solving problems are highly valued in society and are characteristics of any educated person. Mathematics is not just a body of knowledge, but a process of analysis, reasoning, comparison, deduction, generalization, and problem solving.
A mathematician's stock in trade is the ability to solve problems and to explain the solutions to others. Having once determined what the right questions are, solving problems involves analyzing both concrete and abstract situations, relating them to mathematical ideas, and using mathematical techniques to work toward solutions. Explaining the solution involves pointing out what has been solved and why the solution is valid.
Majors in mathematics (BS) prepare for a wide variety of careers. Some enter graduate school or professional schools and prepare for careers in such fields as college teaching, consulting, research and development, law, medicine, and business administration. Others take positions in government agencies, industrial laboratories, information management firms, or business organizations. All of them spend much time communicating with colleagues about the problems they are solving as they continue to learn more mathematics and share mathematical ideas with others.
To receive a BYU bachelor's degree a student must complete, in addition to all requirements for a specific major, the following university requirements:
Students should see their college advisement center for help or information concerning the undergraduate programs.
For more information see the BYU 2012–2013 Graduate Catalog.
Students whose grade point average is less than a B in Math 112, 113, 290, 313 and 314 need to realize that advanced courses require much more depth of understanding and may be difficult for them. All students are encouraged to meet regularly with a faculty advisor.
Students who are considering graduate work in mathematics may also receive advice from the graduate coordinator.
Questions regarding placement should be directed to the Mathematics Department, 292 TMCB.

I thought I would never use cloth diapers…I did use gDiapers on our twin girls for a while because I was curious about cloth diapers and figured that would be a way to ease into it. The gDiapers were short-lived because then we moved and I could not get the hang of it and gave up with all the packing and unpacking of boxes. Now this time around I was getting all the baby stuff out and I got a couple of emails about cloth diapers and I was curious again.
Sylvie and Amelia are both still in diapers, using about 6-8 diapers a day. So, that is 12-16 diapers for the twins and then another estimated 12 per day for a newborn for a grand total of 24-28 diapers in one day. That bothers me that I am contributing that much to landfills. Yes, I could potty train the girls, but they are not two yet and with a newborn potty training two does not sound fun. Vivian and I have been talking about recycling a lot lately. She comes with me when I take things to the recycle center and many times as I toss something in the garbage, besides food scraps, that our recycling center does not take she asks me with huge eyes, "Mommy is that going into the ground?" I know some may think I am crazy, but if I don't try it I will always wonder could I have used cloth diapers? If things go well with our baby boy I may try the girls in them also. We will be working on potty training them at some point but until then it might work…will see!
Our current daily stack of disposable diapers. The two on top are night-time diapers so they don't leak through.
What our daily stack would look like with three in disposable diapers.
I started doing a lot of research, reading anything I could find on how to cloth diaper, the easiest diapers to use, how to clean them, using a diaper service versus no diaper service…and the list goes on. I asked for help from a friend who has cloth diapered both of her girls and what a wealth of knowledge she was! So, this week my stash of cloth diapers, accessories and detergent should arrive from Sweetbottoms Baby. I am excited, nervous and looking forward to it. I have a pack of newborn diapers in the nursery for the very beginning when the grandma's are here and we are getting into the swing of things with a new little one but after that I am planning on going for it.
A new diaper cream! I came across this in the research that I did. I have used coconut oil in the kitchen for years but never did I think about using it for a diaper cream. Sylvie has the most sensitive skin and needs a barrier most times she has a diaper on. I have started using coconut oil this past week and I see a big difference. I bought a tub of it and just keep it with their diapers. The only thing is I wish I could make it into a tube like a glue stick…it would make applying it so much easier and less messy. If you don't know coconut oil melts like butter, so you literally melt it on their bottom. Their body heat is enough to take it from a solid to a liquid.
Some websites and articles I have used so far for research and purchases are:
7 Steps For the Cloth Diapering Newbie

I will post a picture showing all the goods once they arrive. Also, I will let you know how it is working and what I find works best for our family…stay tuned!
- 100 Little Things About Pregnancy, Birth and Becoming a Mom
- Sew Your Own Diapers…I will most likely not have time for this, but they offer all the directions on how to.

Spy Chameleon Review
Developed and published by the Indie company Unfinished Pixel comes a very addictive, fast paced, stealthy and challenging top down arcade puzzle game In the form of Spy Chameleon.
In the game you play as an adorable chameleon. You start off with a basic tutorial which shows you what you need to do. This involves avoiding various enemies whilst collecting flies and ladybugs, this becomes more challenging as levels progress as more enemies and collectibles are added.
The Chameleon has a special ability which allows him to change colours, in total he can change into four different colours. The colours correspond to the buttons on the controller (Y is yellow, X is blue, A is green and B is red) making it very fast and easy to change colour. Using this ability is essential to gameplay as you need it to blend into the various rugs, floor tiles and paint cans in the environment in order to avoid detection.
Enemies start off very basic as just normal stationary robots, the only way to be detected by these is if you walk into them. The enemies become increasingly harder and stationary robots that have a line of sight and robots with fast mobility are added. The game also adds in security cameras which are on the walls of the rooms. These are able to detect you anywhere unless you blend into the environment with the chameleons special ability. Other enemies In later levels include gold fish in bowls which also have a line of sight.
To avoid these simply knock the bowls and they will turn around. In the lab levels another enemy is added in the form of lab mice/rats which walk up and down. The last enemies which can be found in the last few levels are giant flies that go up and down and left and right. These again have a line of sight, but can be eaten when close enough and avoiding it. The later levels also allow you to hide under boxes and push filing cabinets to avoid detection, adding more variety of stealth.
Spy chameleon has a total of five main missions, which are split into 15 levels per mission. This adds up to 75 level overall. The levels become increasingly harder as you make progress. Each level has three challenges for the player to complete. These include collecting all the flies, finishing the level in a certain amount of time and collecting all the ladybugs.
However collecting all the ladybugs is not possible, on your first play of a level which, means each level needs at least two plays in order to complete all the challenges available. The challenges are the same for every level throughout the game. Spy chameleon allows you to keep track of your friends times on each level. This is a nice feature for competitive players who like to try and get the best scores.
Spy Chameleon has two difficulties normal and hard, which adds more replay value. It also makes it very accessible to any type of gamer. Casual players would have hours of fun and enjoyment from playing this on normal. The hard mode is more for gamers who seek more of a challenge. It is more challenging as all the enemies move at a far quicker pace than on normal. Therefore the player will need to think more strategically.
Overall spy chameleon is a excellent puzzle game, It would be a great edition to anyone's collection. It is easy enough for anyone to get into and on the harder difficulties adds a great amount of challenge. It really requires a lot of thought and careful planning. It has a lot of replay value due to the amount of levels and the two difficulty settings and is a must have at the price.
Spy Chameleon
- It's very simple to play for any type of gamer
- The frame rate is excellent and the environments are all unique
- The price
- The challenges are very repetitive (would have been nice to have more variety)
- Replaying levels to complete all the challenges
- Harder difficulties might be frustrating for some gamers

I have users and admins. Obviously admins need more features than users. How would I go about implementing these 2 UI's? Should I develop 2 blocks of code, one for each or for each new feature should I just check if the user is admin or not? My concern is having 2 blocks of code to maintain, but I also don't want 500 of the same if/else statement all around the interface.
Whats the best way to do this?


text: Hello, I convinced myself of the need for a different phone after 4 or 5 of VZW's "You can upgrade now!" postcards. Started by going to the store and deciding the smartphones were a little too much and too pricey, so I got an LG Versa. Liked it fine and used it for about a week while continuing to bone up on Android. Justified additional costs well enough to commit to changing again. Went back and forth between Moto Droid & Eris, then N1 was introduced. Decided I liked Eris' features most overall, got it, haven't been disappointed yet. Itching for 2.1 to get better Navigation & hopefully better voice recognition. Thanks to all who share their knowledge and experiences here, great resource! Snellcomp

Latest News
Available January 2013
New for 2013, Imperial will be releasing a range of crank height adjustable desking, available in various desktop shapes in both 600 and 800 deep.
There will be 3 leg options. A traditional modesty panel version with cantilever leg will allow this to sweep through with either Sirius or Qudos desking.
Alternatively a goalpost and hoop leg style will allow a more modern look and will give a height adjustable option to both Pure and iBench.
Spine rail is our latest desktop screen offering that has been constructed from a bespoke aluminium extrusion, with a clean, crisp, angular design. It has been developed to reflect the latest trend in office furniture.
• 30mm Thickness
• Robust aluminium extruded frame
• Monitor Arm and accessory hanging facility as standard
• Multiple mounting positions
• Inset acrylic panels in various colours.
Currently this can be viewed in the iBench brochure and the Pure Brochure
New Literature
Already in circulation is our new iBench brochure, including new images and additional products to further enhance the range that is continuingly going from strength to strength.
October saw the arrival of a refreshed Pure Brochure. A new layout and new working office images have been added to help visualize Pure in a working office environment. Pure continues to be a competitive alternative to iBench.
The 'Collections Brochure' is due to be launched early 2013. This brochure is an overview of all Imperials furniture ranges and will be available for overprinting by our dealers.
Contact your area sales manager for further updates.
Investment in machinery
Imperial have invested in the UK's first BAZ machine incorporating P.U.R glue that creates a waterproof seal from edge tape to board, eliminating water damage.
Our machine was exhibited at the largest UK woodworking machine exhibition 'W12' in Birmingham.
The BAZ machine is 30% faster than its predecessor and offers a more economical production process through computer optimisation.
The machine is capable of being utilized by a single skilled operator, providing low labour production. This allows more efficient deployment of staff in other areas. Further more in January 2013 there will be a significant investment in an angle plant beam saw with turntable which is loaded automatically by the new crane operated board management system. This will be integrated with a new 24 magazine automated return feed edge boarder with bar code scanner. This will allow greater capacity and quality of product.
The Seating Collection
New for 2013 Imperial Office Furniture is proud to launch its new seating collection. The Imperial range is cutting edge and is designed with style in mind. We feel that the quality of our product will surpass our customer's expectations and with the support and back up of all our literature and images will help our vast dealer network succeed in this ever changing competitive market. The Collection consists of a vast range of mid market to high end products with offerings from executive seating to operative chairs and conference seating as well as a superior soft and relax complement.
iBench 3rd Level Storage
Third level storage has been introduced into the iBench range. This will further enhance the range and allow the user to store files above desk height and off the desk top creating a cleaner working area. This can be viewed in the current
iBench brochure
For further information regarding the above please contact your area sales manager.
Effex R8 Interim Pricelist
With design and development now complete, Imperials new Effex R8 Beam System is ready to be introduced to the market.
R8 offers total flexibility to the office environment and is available with immediate effect.
We have developed an interim price list which is available on request.
Please contact your Area Sales Manager for further information on the New Effex R8 Beam System.
ISO 14001 and 18001 Accreditation
Imperial Office Furniture are pleased to announce further accreditations to our developing portfolio.
July 2010 saw the United Registrar of Systems (URS) award Imperial not only the ISO 14001 Environmental System but also the OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety System.
These additional accreditations accompanied by the ISO 9001 Quality System complete the set of UKAS management policies, enabling Imperial to develop further into the Public Sector Markets.
Reunion conference tilt top table update
After dedicating the last twelve weeks to design and development, we are pleased to announce the arrival of our new upgraded tilt top table. Available in 600mm and 800mm deep, this new table offers maximum rigidity whilst remaining hugely competitive.

New literature

To accompany the new literature Imperial are developing a unique buyers guide intended to provide an insight into Imperial product ranges. Popular products from each range will be marketed within one catalogue. It is our intention to offer further benefits to clients by providing an "Overprinting" facility which would enable dealers to promote Imperial products in their own unique catalogue.
New Media
Our Latest Image DVD is available from April 2010 containing all of the following information:
High Resolution Brochure Images
Low Resolution Brochure Images
High Resolution Single Images
Low Resolution Single Images
Colour Swatch Images
PDF Brochures
2D CAD Blocks
Promoted in January and February editions of Mix Magazine the success of our latest range "iBench" has seen Imperials company profile develop further. After successfully completing projects for the Findus Group headquarters and the Kelcoo Group, 1st Quarter Sales have increased by 25% and are set to continue throughout the second quarter.
Quality Assurance
After receiving the Quality ISO 9001:2008 certificate in June 1999, Imperial are continuing to strive for further accreditation.
We are currently working towards Environmental ISO 14001:2004 and Health and Safety ISO 18001:2007. Audits are currently taking place with the final review scheduled for May.
If we can achieve these accreditations, hopefully to be awarded in June, this will be a fantastic step forward for the business.
Factory Expansion
The first quarter has seen Imperial invest further in Factory expansion. A further 8,000 sq ft of warehousing space was acquired in February bringing our total square capacity to 80,000 sq ft.
Additional investment within the company includes a new CNC optimising beam saw delivered in January 2010 and a point to point CNC drilling machine ordered to be delivered in May.

Episode 63 | #WeekinReverse • Celebrating the Small Wins
In Episode 59, Bryant and Diego talk about the importance of owning it. There's always a temptation to give an unnecessary insecure disclaimer when sharing your art with others. Creating art is vulnerable. There's no way around it, unless you're creating from a place that's not real and not authentic. It's easy to get "demo-itis" where you treat everything as a "demo" and don't really put your full 100% into each project. Create like you're giving everything you've got and don't treat anything like a demo. ⏪


text: I think it's time to do clean-up for a generation. I believe this is one of the movies that hits home for all colors and all races. Everybody I talk to, black or white, suburban, rich or poor, can relate to rejection, can relate to not having a father or a mother.
