Reader Question:
I am so glad I came across your blog via the Rookie Moms site. I need this fashion kick in the butt to get out of my yoga pants. I feel I often find great pieces and then get them home and don't know what to do with them. Case in point, I just ordered this skirt and am super excited about it, but am I limited to a white tank? If you could give me another recommendation, I'd really appreciate it.
I took one look at this skirt, Jenn, and immediately contacted the designer (via Etsy, love that!).
It's on-trend, gorgeous, yet as comfy as sweatpants. You should be super-excited about it! Nice. Pick. Ms. Krista over at Satin Stitch Designs was kind enough to send a skirt over to me so I could style it up here. (And psst! Each is custom made, so no hemming required. That is much appreciated by this short Mama.)
Jenn, since you are writing in looking for ideas, I'll skip over the obvious stuff like the white tank you already mentioned, or a black tee, or chambray shirt, or even a denim jacket...right? I mean...any of those would be fabulous with this skirt, but since you took the trouble to write in, let me see if I can do something a bit more interesting. Here we go.

Woman 'imprisoned' by vision of future
Dear Abby: My boyfriend, "Rick," is in prison and has been there for 2 years. He is the father of my 2-year-old son. I got pregnant 3 months into our relationship.
Ten days after our son was born, Rick had to turn himself in for something that happened prior to my getting pregnant. He was sentenced to 5 years. He was supposed to serve only 2 years of it, but another charge caused that to change, and he won't be home for another year and a half.
I'm starting to get confused about our relationship because we barely have one anymore. We never get to see each other or talk.
Every time I have a night out I meet different people, but I feel too guilty to continue with anything. My girlfriends all tell me I need to move on, that I don't deserve this and that I'M the one "in prison." But I really want the perfect family.

A nice retro gift with a delightful clean scent!
This is an excellent choice as a gift for a man or a woman as the fragrance is refreshingly clean and fresh. It is a wonderful citrus with a subtle hint of tobacco. My son and I both loved it! This is a winner!
January 21, 2013
Nice smell
I like the soap and the cologne. The shave cream is a bit pointless however. It's not actually for shaving with.
January 13, 2013
Great gift idea
I gave the gift set as a gift to a very good friend of mine. He called me two days later and said he couldn't thank me enough. His wife is now hooked on Tommy Bahama's fragrences. Needless to say I will be giving gift sets to many others.
January 8, 2013
Will definitely purchase again
Vintage paradise is very different from the other tb fragrances but might be my favorite. Sharp almost bitter citrus opening which blends in with the tobacco leaf and stays throughout.. Totally tropical yet highly masculine, long lasting as well.
January 5, 2013
Love the soap and the shave cream!
I am a huge fan of all your products from dishes to beach chairs.
I look forward to enjoying this gift set and other three I received as gifts this holiday season.

A fabulous product. Love the fragrance.
The shave cream gave me the best shave

EPA Contentious Issues Matrix: Key Problems and Some Recommendations |
June 2010 The document contains a matrix of 21 contentious issues pertaining to the goods negotiations in the EPAs. For each issue, the 'best' language (i.e. least damaging language) from the various EPA texts is identified. The problems posed by these contentious issues are then highlighted, and some recommendations provided. The recommendations should be red in the context of attempts at 'damage control'. In as far as the EPA forces on countries a high level of liberalization, watering down some clauses can lessen but not eliminate the damage that is likely to result.

Audio input is good (M Audio) but no output
Like (0)
The M Audio USB device works with everything I have, Reason, etc., but even though I see both input and output indicators on the Pod Farm 2.0, there is no audio output. What am I doing wrong?
What is POD Farm 2.0? Just the software are do have a Line6 device?
I actually have Pod Farm 2.5. It is software version only and lives on my PC. When I play through it, I see metering on both input and output,but no audio comes from my speakers. My other software works fine with the M Audio input device. So I know it's not that. Maybe a switch in the Pod Farm?
It is not POD Farm for i-Lok is it?
If not, are you selecting the M-Audio as your device in the Preferences of POD Farm 2.5.

How to Shave With an Electric Shaver:
In theory, shaving with an electric shaver is the ultimate in convenience and efficiency. In practice, however, most electric shavers may fall short when it comes to getting the same close and even shave you can achieve with a simple razor and shaving cream. With a little diligence and preparation, however, you can get that close shave you desire with an electric razor.- Keep the blades of your electric razor clean at all times in order to ensure great results. Most electric razors have a removable head or screen that allows you to clean the blades or shaving heads. Check with the owner's manual to find out whether you should use the supplied brush, or if you can actually rinse the blades under water.
- Replace the blades or screen of your electric razor regularly. Under regular use, the screen on most shaving heads may become thin, and the blades may become dull after about a year. Keep plenty of spare blades and screens available in a spare drawer in your bathroom.
- Bathe or shower in warm to hot water before you use an electric razor, which will help to open pores and soften hair follicles, making hair removal easier. Note, however, that your skin should be dry before you shave with an electric razor. Use a little talcum powder if you wish to speed the drying process.
- Use an alcohol-based pre-shave lotion for better results when you use an electric shaver. These products remove excess oil from your skin, which forces hair to stand out for easier removal. If your skin is sensitive to alcohol, there are some alcohol-free products that may work equally well.
- Shave against the direction of your hair, taking care not to go over the same spots repeatedly, which may cause skin irritation and razor burn. Use your fingers on one hand to pull your skin taut, while you shave with the other hand.
- Apply an aftershave lotion or moisturizer. Aftershaves contain alcohol, which may cause stinging or dryness, so unless you have oily skin, a moisturizer may be preferable.
- Give your skin two to three weeks to acclimate to the use of an electric razor before you expect perfect results. Electric shavers remove hair very differently than manual razors, and your skin will need time to react accordingly.

Are those bananas in the background? Zone 6? Kt |
- Posted by stevelau1911 6a (My Page) on Tue, Oct 30, 12 at 19:32
Looks like it could be fargesia rufa. |
- Posted by butterfly4u 8 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 30, 12 at 21:55
KT, yes they are Musa Basjoo. Hardy to zone 6 when mulched good. |
They are Fargesia Rufa, I have 1 other Fargesia that I forgot to photo, it's slightly taller than these 2. That is Musa Basjoo. I tried it for the first time this past season. There is also a Eleph. ear plant to the right of the Banana. There are 3 palms that are supposed to be hardy here with protection, but they are very small. |
- Posted by miketropic none (My Page) on Thu, Nov 8, 12 at 16:20
what type of palms are they? |
Miketropic, the palms are needlepalm and 2 others that I forget the name of. They are those of the few that are zone 6-7 hardy. I left the tags on I believe. It looks as though they are going to shed thier leaves or whatever they are called and replace with new leaves. I will look for tags tommorrow when it is daylight. I bought 2 of them in North Carolina at a WAL_MART and one mail order, can't remember what nursery. |
- Posted by miketropic none (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 5:15
the needle palm should be alright mine is wrapped up in its winter hut right now. as long as the others got established there are 5 or 6 that are zone 6 hardy with some protection. |
- Posted by stevelau1911 6a (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 17:39
For all my palms, I simply stick a filled leaf bag over it, and they are protected for the whole winter. |
Just wanted to add that I have added Fargesia Robusta " Woolong". I took the chance because we are haveing zone 7 winters as far as the minumum temps go. I got them cheap because they are tiny divisions. |
Sorry I never replied about the palms, I forgot all about it. One was Saw Palmetto, Needle palm and the other may have been another Needle palm. I've recently got Fargesia Robusta Campbells form. I know nobody was really holding their breath for my reply. I saw the post tonight so I'm adding to it, yes things are boring in Pa tonight :) |
You must be patient with Fargesia Rufa it takes a long time to mature. Here is mine after 5 years. And this past year it's still only about 4 to 5 ft tall but I love the look of it. check out the link it may help you. |
Here is a link that might be useful: My Bamboo Grove Info
Gardener1, Thanks for the pic and info. I don't mind slow bamboo. I have Phylostachys Nigra on order. I will be glad for my Fargesias being slow to spread. I also have Fargesia Robusta " Campbells form" on order. I am searching for some sort of "Encloseure" for the Black bamboo. I have an area that may be okay. I will have to remove the plants already growiing there though. It is surrounded by swampy ground. I think it may be the best place to avoid spreading past the swampy area. |
I just thought of another variety of hardy palm in the background in my picture was Sabal Causiarum, I hope I spelled it right. |

How do you fill them? |
- Posted by MsMorningSong 9 (My Page) on Tue, Mar 19, 13 at 8:17
Those are beautiful! Yes, how do you fill them? How'd you do it? |
Thank you. To fill them, you drill a large hole in the bottom and cork it with a smaller bamboo piece. I drilled the hole a little smaller that the bamboo cork, so it fit and shaped real snug. I'm going to start this week making them from Wamin. I'm going to leave them untreated or look for a food grade sealer. I have so much bamboo that I probably won't get around to finishing them on the outside. If they split, i'll just make new ones. On a different subject related to Wamin; I just started air layering branches of Wamin that are thick and have that classic Wamin v-shaped sub branch formation. The best way to propagate Wamin by far. Have you guys tried this? |
I just bought another Musa Basjoo from Lowes. I am waiting on my Elephant ears to show themselves this spring. My bamboos are doing great, those from SteveLau and my other Ebay orders. My black Bamboo has croaked because I bought it when winter was still pretty bad. I should have heeled it in the ground. I let it die, it's my fault, so I can't blame anyone but me. Stupid as it sounds I was afraid to plant it in the ground. I will not buy another runner until I am prepared for it's area to be in. I will be planting more clumpers, I have all my clumpers still alive. I have a bare area for clumpers. |
I (after reading my last post) am adding that my last order of Fargesia bamboo was purchased from EBAY not Lowes. The kind I've ordered is an upright type. |
I err, got Musa Basjoo mixed up with Bamboo, sorry. I got a banana plant Musa Basjoo at Lowes. I'm sure nobody cares, but I am correcting my mess up. Only because someone may want one and they can get them at Lowes now. |

Pittsburgh police have charged a 15-year-old North Side boy in an attack on a teacher from the Pittsburgh High School for the Creative and Performing Arts.
The boy was charged Tuesday with simple assault and taken to Shuman Juvenile Detention Center. He also faces a probation violation, police said.
The attack against 50-year-old James Addlespurger on Tito Way -- an alley off Liberty Avenue -- was captured by surveillance cameras last Thursday afternoon.
"The video speaks for itself, but I don't remember it happening when it happened," Addlespurger told Channel 4 Action News anchor Mike Clark.
The video showed Addlespurger walking by a group of teenagers when one of them abruptly turned and hit him. Addlespurger fell face-first to the concrete and his head struck a curb as the teens walked away.
"I was shocked at the whole narrative of it. There were six kids. There was me walking, just normally on my way, and boom came the punch and down I went, straight down with my face falling and hitting the cool concrete. I was shocked. I was speechless. I didn't really know what to think," said Addlespurger.
He showed Clark his injuries, which include two stitches on his lip, a bruise on his face and cuts on his arm.
Addlespurger, who teaches 10th- and 12th-grade English at CAPA, said it's still tough to breathe because the right side of his body is heavily bruised.
"I look pretty good now compared to how I did look. My face was all puffed up, and I'm thankful that I can walk and talk, and I'm feeling OK, except when I bend over to tie my shoe and the breathing hurts, but I'm hopeful all of that will go away," said Addlespurger.
He told Clark the surveillance video has been hard to escape at times.
"It pops up everywhere, so my mother has to deal with that, my wife has to deal with that, my daughter has to deal with that, my students have to deal with that, and I feel a responsibility to the community, as a teacher who has been a public servant for 18 years in that capacity, that I need to speak out and say that I'm doing better," said Addlespurger.

One of the things we really want to drive home in Elemental that we think will make it stand out is that a well equipped army is a big deal.
The Roman armies dominates much of Europe not because Romans were inherently better warriors but because they were well trained and well equipped.
Contemporary fiction tends to trivialize the significance of a non-industrialized society being able to train and equip 10,000 men with swords, plate mail, steel helmets, leather boots, etc. But in reality, being able to do that is an incredible achievement.
In Elemental, your first turns will not be about designing and producing fully armored troops. On the contrary, when you see mounted units equipped with plate mail and swords we want it to give the same feeling as when you see the Mongols in Civilization show up with tanks on your island. It's a big deal.
Because people in Elemental are a resource, it creates a lot of interesting choices on the type of civilization you want to build. You can, for instance, focus on having mass armies of poorly trained and poorly equipped peasants. These hordes might be able to conquer the world or they might meet a civilization that has a much smaller force but one that is exquisitely trained and equipped. That battle, which players can optionally fight in full tactical detail, should be breathtaking.
And of course, what I jut describe doesn't even touch on the fact that we are talking about a world with magical items and beasts of almost unimaginable might. As I've mentioned previously, someone gets ahold a dragon (and by a dragon I mean 1) that is a huge deal. Nobody is going to be running around with a "throng" of dragons.
If you've ever read Tolkien's Silmarillion you get an idea of just how mighty some of the beings in Elemental will be. For those into that kind of thing, if you've ever wanted to know one of the inspirations for the Arnor and Dread Lords you can think of them as Maiar.
There are things lurking in the world of Elemental that are just breathtakingly powerful and rare. And rare, I mean that you may only encounter or hear of one maybe after months of playing the game. We'll talk about that more later though.
The point being, the armies of Elemental are truly going to be yours. You will have ultimate control over what kind of army you want to have. We're very excited.
Brad goes into detail how this is a pretty hands-off game when it comes to controlling individual units etc.
EDIT: Found it:
Little late but...
THIS is exactly what feel was missing from every other games (of HOMM type).
You play a random map...you know what items are going to be the best and what creatures top the list, no matter how random the game is the pieces remain the same, only their location changes.
If Elemental is going to randomize the actual pieces too....EXCELLENT.
I think you misunderstood Brad in that interview (understandably, he wasn't as clear as he could've been). He said that Elemental willy play kind of as if you're the ruler of a kingdom in a world in like those in D&D games, where you get to deal with things like wandering adventurers, possibly disturbing things. Not your heroes - your heroes do what you want (I can see how that might have been confusing - he has said the same thing phrased much more clearly in the past). One of the other people then said, "it sounds like Majesty," and Brad responded, "eh, there are probably elements of that in there." He never said anything about it being hands-off regarding controlling individual units.
We've got pictures of the control system for moving the guys around, your armies aren't going to be autonomous. I think hiring heroes is going to be a matter of tracking them down as they wander the map though.
Now what if, just IF we could run around with a throng of kittens bent on destruction of the human race? Not your average kittens, but rabid, no nonsense kittens that have everything to gain and nothing to lose? I guess a pack of war dogs would be cool also, but just would not have the same shock factor.
Anyways Elemental sounds awesome! This could be the game of games I have always wanted to play. Not an average 50+hr spree of playing, but weeks and weeks of constant play where no single play round is ever the same! Wow I just get so excited thinking about! I look foward to hearing more about it.
It has been a dozen years since a game really grabbed me and had me playing 40+ hours a week for months at a time. The game that even years after release you still boot up because it is so awesome and partly even for nostalgia reasons. This could be the game to end the drought!
I personally think that the army system sounds really exciting. What I want is to have a reasonably large, quite organised army but have an awesome elite core of extremely well trained and equipped soldiers.
I'm curious as to how my chaneller would stand up to a dragon or other mythical beasts. For instance if my chaneller is like a demi-god, smashing armies apart etc, if the enemies send an army my way with a dragon at the head can I send my mighty chaneller forward to squish said dragon like a bug on a table?
Also for battles with armies will there be an auto-resolve button in case I really can't be bothered watching 5 of my scouts be routed by a huge army?
From the little we know, it seems like dragons will be at least the equals of powerful channelers. Then there are people around here who want dragons to be on a higher plane entirely than channelers (by which I just mean - so much more powerful that you'll never have a channeler who can match one), and the people like me who think dragons should be about as powerful as an endgame channeler on a large map. It seems fairly certain (from previous posts from Frogboy) that one of the above situations is likely to be the case.
Yes. I think that was mentioned in an old dev post, but I'm not sure which, when or where.
No leadership limit!
The HoMM games are quite fun but this mechanic changes the ENTIRE GAME!
HoMM and Disciples superheroes are fun in campaign but doesn't work well at all in skirmish games.
I want something like Age of Wonders where you can have hero stacks if you want to or 1/4 stacks of weak creatures sprawling over the map.
If you have to have a hero in a stack to make it worthwhile then I think this game gets too stiff, just like HoMM and Disciples are. From Stardocks talk about Master of Magic I expected the stack system to be like Master of Magic or Age of Wonders neighboring hextile-join combat. But now it starts to sound like Kings Bounty where you will instead have a few heroes with stacks....
I'm happy I didn't preorder as i need to see how this goes....
I love how people say that when the slightest thing appears that it might not go exactly as hoped. Seriously, if you're interested enough to be a regular on these forums, then whether or not heroes are important components of armies - you will still in all likelihood buy the game, and even enjoy it.
I do agree with you, though, that armies should be able to function well without heroes leading them, though. I'm also confident that Stardock intends to make it so.
As far as unit customization goes I'd like a fairly simple system, weapon, armor and race type, with a few optional extra's like mount, enchantments and material type. So when creating a unit you first pick the race, Human, Orc, Beastman, Elf or whatever is available (or modded in). Weapons and armor will have the choice to use specific materials like bronze, iron or your very finite supply of mithril (if applicaple) and of course if its leather armor, chainmail or spears/swords. I very much want weapon types to be important so that you counter cavalry with spears and perhaps some bonuses associated with swords and axes. Add in an enchantment for base gear (like magic weapons to hit those mystical creatures or defence bonuses against specific creature types (undead, nature etc) and extra durability to your shields (making them more resistant to high quality arrows).
I've been playing Master of Magic again lately so I'm horribly biased but I'd love to see some serious unit tracking as well, I want ballista arrows to be neglible against an army unit (large mob of peasents) but to be abselutely deadly to large magical beasts who come in pairs or single. Overland enchantments such as windshields for your frontline units to protect against arrows, and flaming swords for your heroes/commanders.
As far as army logistics goes the stack of doom should be easily countered by sending your smaller armies to block roads (trade), sack mines and burn crop fields.
I would also like a 'training level' for creating units.
I think we should look at the king of games CIV IV for inspiration. No artificial limits but a system that will have tradeoffs.
Armies can be limited by:
1. Upkeep cost in gold
2. Food consumpiton (supplies)
3. Small penalites if you mix certain units that dont want to be in the same army and similar stuff
4. Small penalties if the army is too large for the level of the general (no hard cap, just a small inexperience penalty)
5. Availability - limits to how many units can be recruited from the pool. Your country does not have unlimited supply of people
6. Alternative cost. If you raise a huge army from your population you could have too few people left to do the farming and other jobs.
Its not that hard to avoid the stack of doom if the game is flexible
It's IMPOSSIBLE to stop the stack of doom in this type of game...that is to stop it from being created. However unless your enemy is already much more powerful than you there's plenty of options to still defeat them..so I see no problems.
Its not impossible. There are things as collateral damage that can be used. One can have many objectives/tasks that need to be done at the same time thereby invalidating the tactics of one large army. It will then be better to split into armies that are sizeable enought to accomplish a certain task.
Lots of opitons!
Just because you have a ton of stuff to do doesn't mean people won't keep an awesome stack. Also unless the game is not balanced at all having a ton of the best units together will win most battles.
Well there's no reason not to keep an awesome stack around, good armies win battles after all. But its all about hard counters, spearmen defeat the elite cavalry but have no shields and so are vulnurable to missile units. Swordsmen chop up bowmen and to a degree spearmen but lose out to cavalry. Going into a battle with 20 units of expensive elite cavalry is easily countered by bringing ye olde pointy stick, some bowmen and maybe a fire elemental to scare the horses. Besides, I'm sure there will be powerful overland spells to defend your territory with, maybe a nature channeler can slow down the stack of doom with some muddy ground, annoying weather and forests while he prepares his defence.
One of the most important things I hope is in the game though is supply, an enemy army in your territory should have some penalties for more time spent there. So you can't just sit your big stack there outside your enemy's capital and block all his trade because taking the city would be too costly.
Frogboy bustin' out a big ol' can of industrial strength, new and improved super awesome sauce; giving everyone a little somethin' somethin'.
I don't think the tactical battles themselves have stacks.
have any of you read A Game of Thrones? it was one of Brad's sources of inspiration for this game, you know. anyways, in the book armies are EXTREMELY hard to maintain in one place. You get that many men and horses in one area and you end up stripping the countryside bare. Plus you get diseases from contaminated water, and the army becomes a sitting duck just waiting for enemy raiding parties and cavalry. Therefore, it think that the "Stack of Death" would only be possible if used as a sort of final blow, and even then it would be a pretty damn hard blow to carry out because the "stack", along with the required supply train, of course, could be easily flanked, and having so many units crammed in a small area makes AOE spells like something along the lines of Blizzard from Warcraft 3 or a rain of fire very VERY effective.
I don't think we need to fear that there will be a one-and-only strategy (like SoD) in this game. Stardock knows how to do it right. (GC2 didn't have any problems of this type AFAIK)
How they will do it probably depends on the beta, so you should be happy if you signed up, since only then do you get to influence the decision.
Really, everything Stardock has told us seems to be pieces to a puzzle which realizes one magnificently well-designed game.
There are the All-X strategy (all labs or all factories plus focus) and the Year Zero Win strategy (winning in less than 52 turns). Both of those tend to suck the joy out of the game for me despite their proven ability to yield strong scores.
I thought I remembered something like that. I couldn't figure why the ALL-X works, so I just forgot about it.
Well then. Hopefully we catch such things during beta and have them fixed.
I love the idea of this very thorough beta.
SoD armies aren't viable in real life, so why should they be viable in the game? I would like to see the "30 years war paradox" come up, namely the large armies starve and the small armies get beaten. So which option do you choose?
Even in real life there are SoD. For example the Persian army in ancient times that numbered in the millions that conquered huge parts of the world.
I believe the idea is not to artificially prevent SoD but to make it expensive to create SoD and to provide viable strategies to counter SoD.
Some ideas already mentioned:
- Other than the usual upkeep costs, men for the army should not materialize out of thin air. They should be taken out from the population in in the towns. Recruit too many and you have not enough people to work the fields.
- Provide viable strategies to counter stacks of doom. Fortified mountain passes manned by a few men can stop a much larger army. Same with river crossings and bridges and also heavily fortified towns.
- Provide spells that can essentially wipe out SoD like volcano or plague spells.
- provide ability to cripple enemy economy by raiding. Small fast mounted units of raiders can run around attacking precious mines and farmland crippling the economy without having to directly attack fortified cities. You would have to ensure to leave some token force at key resources to prevent raider attacks. Without money to pay your troops, your men will desert.

Quandary Peak Summit Log (#11722)
- Signed By: Karen
- Date Submitted: June 22, 2004
- Date(s) climbed: 06/06/04
An absolutely gorgeous day to hike, followed by the most amazing site at the summit!! A well-versed "mountain" man at the summit gave us a verbal "tour" of our surroundings- counting out & naming 30 14ers that we could clearly see from the top!!! We even had a little fun on the way down:-) We had met 3 other people at the top, & we decided to head down the backside- by sitting on trash bags and sliding... at a very fast rate might I add! Do this hike- it's incredible!

Teen Death Puts Spotlight On CyberbullyingAnchorage School District says it won't tolerate online harassmentANCHORAGE - Amanda Todd was 15 years old when she took her own life outside Vancouver on Wednesday. The Canadian teen posted a heartbreaking account of her troubles on YouTube five weeks before she committed suicide. The video detailed how she was bullied, including on Facebook. "It's shocking the things that students sometimes will do to each other when they think they can get away with it online," said Lisa Prince, principal at Central Middle School in Anchorage. The Anchorage School District takes the issue of bullying very seriously. "Something what was done on a Saturday night in someone's home, in their bedroom, could actually be a jurisdictional issue with the school district," she said. The school district encourages students and parents to document the harassment. "We will have students that bring in, or families, harassing emails, harassing Facebook messages," said Principal Prince. School officials say they will discipline students who bully on any platform -- including text messages, emails, Facebook, as well as on school grounds. "We have work detail, we have detentions, we have in-school suspension, there's out of school suspension and then ultimately there is expulsion from ASD," said Patty Hynes, Assistant Principal at Central Middle School. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Tuesday, Oct 16 at 12:15 AM Liam- have you ever been bullied? You don't generally 'walk away' from it. They stalk you, daily, continually grinding you down. The computer and texting aspect is easy to avoid, but sadly most kids (and adults for that matter) are addicted to it all. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Sunday, Oct 14 at 7:31 AM Parents of that girl must feel lower then dirt right now. When their daughter put up a sign saying "I have nobdoy. I need some one", you pondered why this girl didn't seek her parents for that "someone". Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Oct 13 at 8:29 PM bullying the weaker,the sick,and struggling is what bullies do. They are like wolves... Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Saturday, Oct 13 at 8:07 AM Yes, there were a couple of errors; proofing helps lots. Bullying isn't funny. I recommend book [Odd Girl Out] as a primer for understanding the depth of the problem. It's nice the author includes methods that work to combat the problem. Best bet: Have your kids use hitech sparingly, and learn to walk away from bullies, not caring for verbal abuse. Assault is assault and should be handled by the police. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Oct 12 at 11:16 PM Bwahahahaha! Anchorage mayor has yet again adjusted the budget and eliminated the entire fire & police departments. The savings will be used to reconstruct portions of schools severely damaged by the increased number of students being exploded this year. Parents are cautioned to ensure they speak to their children about appropriate behavior. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Oct 12 at 10:59 PM Explosion?!? I'll take the bullying, thank you. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Oct 12 at 10:48 PM Ha ha good catch Woodz. Explosion from Anchorage School District. Sounds massive. "Student injured when principal used 100 pounds of Tannerite to explode disruptive student from Anchorage School District" KTVA must be saving money by not proof reading...lame. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Friday, Oct 12 at 10:42 PM Explosion...Holy Cow! Did you mean expulsion? Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a comment |

Today is World Book Day!
Hi Scribblers!
Today, April 23rd, is World Book Day! The date, April 23rd, was settled on to pay tribute to two great authors- William Shakespeare, author of many great plays, such as Romeo and Juliet, and Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote. Both of the renowned authors died on April 23rd and so the day is now celebrated as a day to encourage reading! Today, sit down with your little ones and engage in a family reading time. Take turns reading portions of a book together. If your family is really adventurous, assign each person a part to act out as they read their part of the book! Doing this is a great way to make reading fun and bond as a family.
Happy reading!
You can find some fun early learning book on Scribble Shop.com!
And of course, fun books for Mom and Dad too!

Is she as good as advertised before?
df+D: Slide attack. Same as normal version.
qcf+K: Venom Strike, standard fierball stuff. The poster commented that it looked ugly. I saw the fierball, it's like a mini-hadouken without the smiley face in SF2.
dp+K: Dunno what this is called. Can link from weak attacks and very good for building stock etc.
hcb+K: Tornado Kick, quick to come out, great for countering laggy moves. If done at a farther distance, she's pretty much safe. Seems like it can connect after a df+D too...
Close rdp+K: Not sure what this is. The poster said it's her key move, can connect from low B->low A. Also connectable from close B. Poster also said close D may push her too far away.
qcfx2+P/AC: I suppose this is the Suprise Rose DM in 2k1. Can be connectable from low B->low A. Can be used as anti-air. If df+D is done close enough, this can link. SDM version has more stomps.
Forgot this.
qcfx2+K/BD: 2 fierball super. That's pretty much it about this. SDM version's fierballs are larger.

Well, that last poke did it -- reminded me I had been thinking about getting the first Pug book for my sister-in-law, who has a pug (poor lady). I think it counts as a gesture of sympathy.
Still, Snuggles (the dog, not my sister-in-law) is always glad to see me (even when I've only left the room a minute ago), so I guess I'm not overdoing it.
Thanks, Dave, for all the snickers and chortles (really!) from a retired guy who doesn't look anything like Gramps.
I wouldn't lie about this.

Last night I got to hear on of my childhood heroes speak on campus. Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, and the youngest American in space at the time, came to our campus to speak during the Maverick Speaker Series! It was awesome.
I can still remember watching her in space when I was five. I wanted to be an astronaut so bad! After the Challenger crashed, I remember pouring over the newspaper articles and Time magazine issues dedicated to the astronauts. I even went to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama when I was in 6th grade. Other kids played cowboys and Indians and built forts out of pillows and boxes. I built a space shuttle out of an old ironing board, pillows, blankets, and snack tables. I had tons of books about space, astronauts, and the space shuttle.
As I got older I could see the chances of me being an astronaut slipping away. I got glasses, which meant being a test pilot in the Air Force wasn't an option and I struggled with Math, limiting my options as a scientist. I found other things to be passionate about, and I while my dream of going to space isn't dead (feel free to donate $ to the send Carl on a Virgin Galactic flight) it isn't in the forefront of my mind either.
Until last night, when Sally Ride took the stage and all those memories came flooding back. She talked about her experiences with NASA and in space and about her foundation, which aims to keep children interested in science and math as potential careers. For me though, her speech was about dreams and heroes.
Sally Ride will always be one of my heroes, whether or not I ever feel the excitement at launch or the release of weightlessness, but she's not my only hero. More importantly, find a place where your dreams can flourish. It's not enough to simply follow your dreams. You need to constantly mold your life so that you live and work and study in a place where your dreams can come alive. 68% of 4th grade boys and 66% of 4th grade girls like science, but by fifth and sixth grade, their passion fades. . . something about society and their environment sends them the wrong message about liking science. It's a function of not being in the right place. Dreams should be stretches of the imagination, challenges to your mind and body. You wouldn't expect to be physically fit if the gym where you worked out was a tiny room with a big couch, a big screen TV, and refrigerator filled with junk food. The same thing goes for dreams. You need to find a place to work on them that supports you.
While my dreams today don't involve flying the space shuttle, they are still about answering tough questions and working to make the world a better place. For me, the place that supports my dreams is UT Arlington and mentors and professors who have been my heroes. I hope UT Arlington will be that place for you too. Wherever you go to college, keep in mind that for most people, this is the place your dreams will either begin to take root or start to retreat. You will need to be in a place that understands your dreams and surrounded by heroes who will inspire you to accomplish them.

Kernel 2.6.29: Corbet Says Btrfs Next Generation Filesystem
Linux kernel developer Jonathan Corbet has just previewed the features of the upcoming Linux Kernel 2.6.29 that includes Btrfs, which he claims is the filesystem of the future.
In time for the holidays, Linus Torvalds had released Kernel 2.6.28, which was followed promptly within two weeks by the first candidate for 2.9.29. Kernel maven Jonathan Corbet, in his Linux Foundation blog, sees a lot of work ahead for the new release, albeit with a "relatively small list of exciting new features." As he writes, "First and foremost for many people will be the addition of the Btrfs filesystem." On January 5th, Chris Mason had appealed for its inclusion in the kernel, prompting considerable feedback. Corbet tried to end any further speculation by promising that Btrfs has a great future ahead for it: "Btrfs is intended to be the next-generation filesystem which, conceivably, could last us for the next 10-20 years." To be sure, Btrfs is not yet the filesystem of choice for the kernel and is still "under heavy development." As Corbet says, "Nobody should be expecting to use Btrfs for any data they care about for the next year - at least." As to why Btrfs is already in the kernel mainline, Corbet responds that it would thereby "approach production-readiness more quickly" through user and developer testing.
Corbet also continues to support the staging tree concept introduced in the summer of 2008 as an experimental kernel branch. The staging tree adopts new drivers that might not be ready for prime time, but nonetheless make certain hardware run under Linux. Corbet has already seen some successes: "Early experience shows that staging-tree drivers do, indeed, see fixes for a lot of problems which have remained unfixed for years previously." He cites as examples the Google Android driver and the Ralink wireless interfaces, which run on the popular Asus Eee PC.
Other visible enhancements to 2.6.29 that Corbet mentions are patches for the kernel-mode setting (KMS) for video and 3D graphic support on x86 systems. As for this "very new" code, Corbet still warns that it supports only a few Intel adapters and requires the appropriate version of X Server. The new kernel also incorporates the read-only Squashfs filesystem mainly used in live CD distributions and embedded systems.
With the stabilization process having begun for the first release candidate, Corbet promises "a surprise or two" for testers: "Over the next two months, these problems will be found and fixed, setting the stage for a stable 2.6.29 release sometime in March."

New Student Orientation:
Brianna McClure '13
Kendra says she chose Huntingdon because of the pre-professional team of faculty advisers, on whose advice she relies as she shapes her path to graduate or professional school and a career in health care. A member of the National Honor Society, National Society of High School Scholars, and the National Technical Honor Society while a student at Brewbaker Technology Magnet High School, Kendra has continued her reputation for serious scholarly activity at Huntingdon, where she takes time out of her studies to serve as a College Ambassador and to participate in the Commuter Student Organization and in Chapel services.
"I could not have experienced having one-on-one interaction with my professors had I gone to another college," says Kendra. "Here, I've had numerous opportunities that have taken me out of my comfort zone, and the rewards of those opportunities have been great."
Along the way, she has readily used the resources available to her in the Staton Center for Learning Enrichment and the Writing Center, as well as the advice and guidance of her faculty mentors. In fact, after working with a Writing Center professor, her next paper was returned with a grade of 100. "I could have hugged Dr. Gunther when I saw her the following week."
She still remembers walking across the bridge as an incoming freshman during Big Red Weekend—it's one of her favorite Huntingdon memories. "I knew that soon I would be walking over that same bridge as a Huntingdon graduate."

DFM, Starts with Design and Ends with Manufacturing
DFM, Starts with Design and Ends with Manufacturing
In the world of a PCB designer where component placement, complex fan outs and copper routing is completed at an ever increasing rate, it is easy to forget that effective DFM starts in Design and ends with Manufacturing, just like the three letter acronym implies.All too often manufacturing related issues impede the completion of the bare board fabrication process or hinder the next step in the assembly process that should have been located at the designer desktop.Eventually one finds, no matter how hard one might try, it is impossible to manufacture in good design practices.
This blog will discuss various topics regarding effective DFM practices.What are the possible strategies in implementing DFM solutions within various organizational structures?When should DFM be performed, throughout the layout process or at the end?What are the critical types of fabrication and assembly analysis are available prior to manufacturing?What are possible improvements in the product realization process are in use today?Why does it seem there is never time to do it right the first time, but there is always time to do it again?And much more . . .
Please add my blog to your bookmark list and I hope you find the upcoming material useful and thought provoking.I am very interested in your comments on my blog and welcome learning from your personal experience.
And remember, as the late great Henry Longfellow once said "It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong."

The Importance of Urban Agriculture
My first urban garden was a 5x3 foot weed pit behind my rented duplex. With my landlady's permission, I dug out the weeds and threw the coffee grounds from my french press and some organic compost into the dirt. My mission was simple: salsa ingredients, hopefully enough for a few jars. This was my first attempt at gardening, let alone on the bath mat sized part of the "back yard" which was more driveway than anything. My expectations were low, but as usual I had high ambitions. I sprouted my own tomatoes in egg cartons on the porch, concocted my own bug repellent and pulled a few weeds every morning before I went to work. Before I knew it the garden turned into a snarling forest of food. I couldn't pick the romas fast enough, jalapenos were turning red and romaine was popping up in places I had not planted any. I sent anyone who visited me home with a bag of food and by October I was tired of pasta sauce and none of my friends could eat any more salsa.
That summer I discovered the power a tiny piece of land held. I greatly underestimated how much food I could produce, as well as what happened behind my house – it became a place I wanted to sit and where animals and insects thrived.
Urban agriculture has taken off as a movement in the last decade. You don't have to go far to find a rooftop garden or even a class about how to start container gardening. People have begun to see the benefits of gardening in general and the positive impact urban agriculture has on our environment, economy and social systems.
Urban agriculture expands the economic base of a city through production resulting in increased entrepreneurship, job opportunities and the innovation of a new industry. One way urban farms can bring in revenue is through providing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share. Typically, a CSA is a subscription in that the consumer pre-pays for a season's worth of produce from a farm and receives a box of product weekly, eliminating grocery stores as the middle man. Fresh and healthy foods made available to urban areas that may lie within a food desert zone can impact childhood nutrition and form healthy adult food choice habits.
Urban agriculture also has numerous environmental benefits. From decreasing the distance food is transported from hundreds of miles to possibly blocks, oil use and carbon emissions can be cut down considerably. Vacant urban spaces can be retrofitted into gardens decreasing the amount of heat that is absorbed into pavement. In many cities, policy is being made that would promote the use of gardens on rooftops to combat urban heat island effects.
Besides these benefits are the ones that come from the added exercise of gardening, the community and social benefits of getting to know other people who share an interest in gardening and how much better you feel when you walk down the street and see thriving plants instead of a vacant lots full of dandelions growing in the cracks.
Obviously I think that the positive effects of urban agriculture and gardening outweigh the negative, but in some cases the negatives can be serious barriers to entry into this new market. Especially in dense urban areas space is at a premium, and it may difficult and expensive to obtain. Soil in urban areas may have high levels of arsenic, lead and other heavy metals from years of car exhaust, as well as other contaminants from garbage, factories and lead paint from homes and garages. Many cities and states do offer soil testing in order to determine whether it is safe to grow plants for eating and often the solution is as simple as a raised bed.
Support infrastructure such as access to water may not be available or too costly and even policy may stand in the way. Just recently, the city of Minneapolis reworked its zoning code in order to allow urban farms and gardeners to sell what they grow. Since urban agriculture often starts on a small scale, citizen participation will be extremely important in enlightening city policy makers on what amendments to zoning codes and ordinances are needed in order to make this new industry grow.
So where is urban agriculture happening? Everywhere, but one of the most interesting places is Detroit, Michigan. After huge population losses, including 25% in the last decade, Detroit's housing and infrastructure has deteriorated significantly. But near the vacant lots and burned out houses non-profit urban agriculture is beginning to thrive. Greening of Detroit is a non-profit "established in 1989 to guide and inspire the reforestation of Detroit. In 2006, a new vision was established, expanding The Greening's mission to guide and inspire others to create a 'greener' Detroit through planting and educational programs environmental leadership, advocacy, and by building community capacity." A surplus of land is enabling urban agriculture to be applied on a larger scale. Even private enterprise has taken note, with companies moving in to buy land to begin farms.
What will urban agriculture look like in the future? Terreform, an organization devoted to sustainable architecture and urbanism visualizes New York as a self-sustaining city of vertical farms but most likely urban agriculture and gardens(small scale as well as large) will continue to grow and benefit people in their surrounding communities.
Successful urban gardens seem to all have one thing in common: a strong and devoted social organization who believes in what they do and inspires others to participate. In many ways this may be more difficult to hold onto long term than changing policy, so lead by example and show neighbors and community members what you can do. Bring them a jar of your salsa!

Monday, January 28, 2013
After the IRS starts processing returns, it expects to process refunds within the usual timeframes. Last year, the IRS issued more than nine out of 10 refunds to taxpayers in less than 21 days, and it expects the same results in 2013. Even though the IRS issues most refunds in less than 21 days, some tax returns will require additional review and take longer. To help protect against refund fraud, the IRS has put in place stronger security filters this filing season.

added a 6.2 KwH system of photovoltaic panels and a 100-gallon two panel Thermal hot water system to my house two years ago. I took out a short term loan (one year interest free same-as-cash loan) with the understanding that I was going to wrap it into a refi of my mortgage, a V.A. mortgage.
I got back a 50% of my outlay from a state rebate. I am not qualified for the federal 30% tax credit because I am a disabled veteran and my monies are not taxed.Regardless I was assured that I would get at least half the cost in added appraised value to my home.
In trying to refi my loan, I was told by the appraiser that the solar work and other energy efficient improvements(spray foam insulation in the attic and under the floor plus cellulose in the walls) add no value to my house since there are no comps with the same improvements.
I am unable to refi the house and am having to pay an additional $782 for the work done. Are there any lenders who specialize in this type of refi? I have been to over a dozen banks, some credit unions and asked the V.A for insight but am turned away from all.
My credit rating is strong(740 range) and I have no late payments on ANYTHING but need some relief. I would not have done this in hindsight.
I have a 1200 sq/ft house and my HERS score is 10...my total electric bill for any 12 month period is less than $400...my gas is also just under $400.
Any help?
