ASH is proud to announce Drs. Ritesh Pamnani and Irina Panovska-Stavrides as the 2008 Visiting Trainee Program (VTP) award winners. The program allows hematologists and medical professionals from under-resourced countries to receive valuable clinical laboratory or technological training for up to 12 weeks on a specific topic under the mentorship of an ASH member.
In September, Dr. Pamnani, of Nairobi, Kenya, studied immunophenotyping at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston under the mentorship of Dr. L. Jeffrey Medeiros. "Most of the developed countries have used immunophenotyping as a routine investigation for diagnosis of leukemia for many years, but due to the high costs, we have not been able to perform this type of test in Kenya," said Dr. Pamnani. "The main objective of my studying immunophenotyping is to establish it as a routine procedure in Africa for all leukemias and lymphomas. I want to be the first one to do this in East Africa."
In October, Dr. Panovska-Stavrides, of Skopje, Macedonia, studied the determination and utility of the new prognostic factors/laboratory criteria, clinical stratification, and the new treatment modalities for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, NY, under the mentorship of Dr. Nicholas Chiorazzi. "Although in the past several years the overall life expectancy of patients with CLL in Macedonia has slightly improved by introducing new treatments, we still have to improve the prognostic workup and the clinical stratification of CLL patients," said Dr. Panovska-Stavrides. "The purpose of my participation in the Visiting Trainee Program is to gain a better understanding of new prognostic factors and treatments for CLL."
The purpose of the VTP program to provide funding support for a focused educational experience for those involved in hematology care. Applicants design their own experience; there are no requirements for the area of study. Successful applicants submit focused topics and provide a clear demonstration of how the techniques or training they learn will be applied once they return to their home institutions. Applicants find and approach mentors, who must be ASH members, by looking through issues of Blood and sessions from annual meeting education programs, both of which are available online. This allows the applicant to become versed in the research that has taken place in their area of study.
Since 2004, more than 20 award winners have benefited from the VTP. Applications for 2009 will be posted on the ASH Web site after January 15, 2009, and must be received at ASH headquarters no later than May 1, 2009. To learn more about applying to the program, please stop by the ASH booth, #637, or contact Clare Kelley, ASH International Programs Specialist, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Definition of spondee in English:
Syllabification: spon·deePronunciation: /ˈspändē
Prosody- A foot consisting of two long (or stressed) syllables.More example sentences
- Thus in the last stanza quoted, after the surge of anapaests in the first two lines, spondees, dactyls, and iambs begin to appear.
- His formula for modern heroic verse, proclaimed up front in the essay, was, in short: more dactyls than trochees, and more trochees than spondees.
- And if counting the spondees in the dactyls might have distracted me from what the words were saying (it didn't), wondering about the parenthetical insertions pulled me back in.
late Middle English: from Old French, or via Latin from Greek spondeios (pous) '(foot) of a libation', from spondē 'libation' (being characteristic of music accompanying libations).

Send Paris to Jail
Paris Hilton should not get away from being punishment just because she is a celebrity. She is just a regular person and regular people get punished when they commit crimes. That is our society if she gets out of jail time we are sending a clear message that fame and money are more important that being honest and obeying the law. Send Paris to jail for her full sentence, maybe then she will learn her lesson. By signing this petition I hope that our judicial system will treat everyone whether rich or poor fairly and equally.

For Immediate Release July 9, 2008 Contacts: Lee Tune, 301 405 4679 or firstname.lastname@example.com Study Puts Solar Spin on Asteroids, their Moons & Earth Impacts COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Asteroids with moons, which scientists call binary asteroids, are common in the solar system. A longstanding question has been how the majority of such moons are formed. In this week's issue of the journal Nature, a trio of astronomers from Maryland and France say the surprising answer is sunlight, which can increase or decrease the spin rate of an asteroid.
Derek Richardson, of the University of Maryland, his former student Kevin Walsh, now Poincaré Fellow in the Planetology Group in the Cassiopée Laboratory of CNRS at the Côte d'Azur Observatory, France, and that group's leader, co-author Patrick Michel outline a model showing that when solar energy "spins up" a "rubble pile" asteroid to a sufficiently fast rate, material is slung off from around the asteroid's equator. This process also exposes fresh material at the poles of the asteroid. If the spun off bits of asteroid rubble shed sufficient excess motion through collisions with each other, then the material coalesces into a satellite that continues to orbit its parent. Because the team's model closely matches observations from binary asteroids, it neatly fills in missing pieces to a solar system puzzle. And, it could have much more down-to-earth implications as well. The model gives information on the shapes and structure of near-Earth binary asteroids that could be vital should such a pair need to be deflected away from a collision course with Earth. Finally, the authors say, these findings suggest that a sample return mission to such a binary asteroid could bring back exposed pristine material from the poles of the parent asteroid, providing a chance to probe the internal composition of an asteroid without having to dig into it. Solar Spin Power It's estimated that about 15 per cent of near-Earth and main-belt asteroids with diameters less than 10 kilometers have satellite Scientists have determined that these small binary asteroid pairs were not formed at the beginning of the solar system, indicating that some process still at work must have created them. "It was at first thought the moons in these asteroid pairs probably formed through collisions and/or close encounters with planets," said Richardson, an associate professor of astronomy at the University of Maryland. "However, it was found that these mechanisms could not account for the large number of binary asteroids present among near-Earth and inner main belt asteroids." Recent studies have outlined a thermal process - known as the YORP effect after the scientists (Yarkovsky, O'Keefe, Radzievskii, Paddack) who identified it - by which sunlight can speed up or slow down an asteroid's spin. Widespread evidence of this mechanism can be seen in the notable abundance of both fast and slow rotators among [near-Earth asteroids] and small main belt asteroids, Walsh, Richardson and Michel write in the Nature paper.
Asteroid Deep Impacts "Based on our findings, the YORP effect appears to be the key to the origin of a large fraction of observed binaries," said Michel. "The implications are that binary asteroids are preferentially formed from aggregate objects [rubble piles], which agrees with the idea that such asteroids are quite porous. The porous nature of these asteroids has strong implications for defensive strategies if faced with an impact risk to Earth from such objects, because the energy required to deflect an asteroid depends sensitively on its internal structure," he said.
The oldest material in an asteroid should lie underneath its surface, explained Richardson, and the process of spinning off this surface material from the primary asteroid body to form its moon, or secondary body, should uncover the deeper older material. "Thus a mission to collect and return a sample from the primary body of such a binary asteroid could give us information about the older, more pristine material inside an asteroid, just as the University of Maryland-led Deep Impact misssion gave us information about the more pristine material inside a comet," Richardson said. Michel added, "Bringing back pristine material is the goal of our proposed Marco Polo mission, which is currently under study by the European Space Agency, in partnership with JAXA in Japan."

I have just finished reading an article from the Digital Photography School in which the author suggests that to understand "light" we ought to first consider seeing the image in B&W. I can't so my work around this has been to see through a dense filter so I see shades of "grey". I was wondering if the D7000 can be tuned to just see B&W.Why not look it up in manual, you ask? Because I have misplaced it:( Ahhhggg!
Visit my Nikonians gallery.
The PDF version of the manual can be downloaded from the various Nikon sites. (Great for quick searches.)In the Picture Controls, you can choose 'monochrome'. This will affect the saved picture not just the display. While the JPG will forever be in black & white, the NEF file will contain the color and just have a flag that can be toggled.---------+---------+---------+---------+Joseph KSeattle, WA, USAD700, D200, D70S, 24-70mm f/2.8, VR 70-200mm f/2.8 II, 50mm f/1.4 D, 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 DX
As Joseph suggests, you can use the picture control to do this - if you're shooting raw. If you shoot jpeg, the jpeg is permanently converted to B&W, using whatever parameters are set in the camera, and there's no undoing it. If you shoot raw, you'll get a B&W display, as you desire. The raw file will still contain the raw, unprocessed data - including all of the color information. It will also contain a jpeg "preview" image - which will be B&W, per the jpeg discussion above. But since it is in fact a raw file, any of the raw converters will be happy to process the data into a full color image for you, if you so desire. Lightroom in particular does a rather odd dance. If you shoot this way - and I do, quite frequently - you see a bunch of B&W images as the card is imported into LR. Then as Lightroom renders the preview images as it does as soon as the import is complete, you can watch the entire shoot "turn" from B&W into color!I shoot quite a few images that are intended to be presented as B&W, so I shoot raw with picture control set to monochrome quite frequently. I find this to be very helpful in evaluating B&W composition, even though the colors may not convert to B&W the same way that I'll do it later.

EOTech is easy on the eyes!
I don't provide feedback on something unless I really like or dislike it. In the case of my EOTech EXPS3, it was definitely a better experience than I was expecting. Last December I purchased a Daniel Defense DDM4v3. A month later I was looking at "red dot" sights, expecting to purchase an Aimpoint. I spent some time at a gun show comparing an EOTech, the Aimpoint Comp M4S and Micro H-1, and a used Trijicon ACOG. I went with the expectation of buying the Aimpoint Comp M3 or Comp M4S, but when seeing each mounted on a rifle it became clear to me that the EOTech was going to best suit my needs. Today I went to the range and sighted-in my rifle. I used to shoot hi-power competitively 14 years ago, but haven't shot an AR type rifle since. At 50 yards it took close to 40 rounds to get my iron sites zeroed, and even then it was somewhat challenging to see (I'm 48 and my vision isn't as good as it used to be). Once I had that zeroed I went to my EOTech. Within 10 rounds it was perfectly zeroed, and I noticed that it was much easier to see because I could use both eyes. I then shot five rounds offhand with some old match ammo and four of the five rounds was inside a 1" box (the fifth round was slightly outside, but I knew I pulled that when I shot it. I then tried five rounds of M855 ammo and had almost identical results (although all five shots stayed in a 1" area this time). For not shooting in a long time and using a new rifle I was impressed � even if the range wasn't that far. Next I shot with iron sights and I had about a 6" group. The EOTech EXPS3-0 HWS allowed me to see the target better and get a smaller reference point for greater consistency (compared with iron sights). Even during rapid fire I was able to keep the shots "in the black." I was incredible to see the difference this sight made for me. Now I'm convinced that I need a G33 STS for long-range. I'll be keeping my eye out! Anyway, I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I thought that the HWS would be better because it would provide a wider field of vision for better target acquisition, but it turns out that an even more important reason for me was that having two eyes open allows me to shoot better and faster. I had not seen this listed as a product benefit, but thought that it might be good to note for older shooters such as myself. When competing you learn to focus on consistency. With my EOTech I was able to clearly focus on a small area that provided an opportunity for consistency. Without it I was unable to focus on a small enough area to get the best shot placement and groups. Hopefully my comments will resonate with people like me who love shooting but don't see as good as I used to. I was completely amazed.

Better Than Pecan Sandies
Unfortunately my first box looked like someone had played soccer with them. Only one cookie was whole, but they tasted so good I ate the crumbs and all. I emailed them about the box of broken cookies and they sent me a box for free!!
June 1, 2013
These sounded good. They tasted just wonderful. Just enough pecans, nice buttery flavor, great texture. You'd never guess they were gluten-free. Pamela's Products almost always get it right.

HTC weather widget doesn't work anymore??
I live in Brick Township, NJ. 90,000 people. I've had my Dinc since May and it has always had my town and accurate weather on it, and it always changed no matter where I went.
Now it is stuck on Toms River and doesn't change anywhere. When I type in my town to add it, it tells me it doesn't exist. I re-booted and everything.
Is there a way to re-set it or is there a similar widget out there like this? It's a small issue, but I really like the HTC weather widget, it is sort of their trademark.
Thanks. - 01-07-2011, 10:04 AM #2
I'm having trouble with the weather widget in Toms River too.... I actually live up in Portland, Maine but my boyfriend lives down here in Toms River so I'm here a lot. Noticed since I've been here whenever it snows I only get a boring "cloudy" on my weather widget. It was like this for the entire Boxing Day blizzard (day after Xmas) so it really shoulda registered... and it's snowing now too, but still no cute little snowstorm on my homescreen. I wanna show off my cool phone!
We're going to Brick in a little while (I'll wave to you) and up to Middletown later, and the snow is supposed to keep falling so I'll have to see if my phone "snows" in those towns...
But anyways... not exactly the same issue as you, but another case of the weather widget going a bit wacky in Toms River haha - 01-07-2011, 12:36 PM #3
I've had similar problems from time to time. I got rid of the widget, then reselected it and put it back where it was...during the re-set up I just hit "use current location"...haven't had a problem since.
I agree with Wanda. Remove the Widget and then replace the "Clock - HTC" widget, you have to side scroll to get to the Weather/Clock Widget. Mine has locked up once or twice (Weather Channel too) replaceing the Widget has always fixed the problem.
Hope this helps.Some say that his dormant chips were left that way for YOUR SAFETY... Others say that once "turned on," he can not be turned off... All we know is... He's called The Stig. - 11-22-2012, 03:58 AM #7
Re: HTC weather widget doesn't work anymore??
If you long press on the clock widget the Remove Icon should appear. Drag the Widget to the remove icon. Then long press the space where it was and re-add the widget.

Slick Distributions SD50
Decent bluetooth headphones at a reasonable price
Write your own reviewFor
- Unbelievable price
- full controls for smartphone
- Slightly muddy bass
- some vocal muffling
£30 is cheap for any pair of headphones, so it's a pretty unbelievable price for a pair of Bluetooth on-ears with full controls for your smartphone.
True, the Slick Distributions SD50s have sonic flaws in the form of little muddiness in the bass and some vocal muffling.
But they're still very listenable, and given the price and features that's an achievement all of its own.

August 2005 -- The American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) has been instrumental in the research and development of a project that has resulted in the introduction of a new wool product, 'Wool/Nomex' blend. The first yards of this woven fabric were introduced in July.
Parvez Mehta, Ph.D., ASI product development consultant, in cooperation with the American wool industry and the U.S. Army, has developed a novel blend of wool and Nomex?, a cost-effective, fire-retardant, comfortable and machine-washable fabric. The new blend is so unique and successful that the U.S. Army is considering a patent action for the product. Meanwhile, the wool industry is excited about its use in the commercial market, producing a variety of items from underwear to hand wear.
The new woven product successfully combines all of the positive features of the two distinctly different fibers to arrive at a new fabric superior to both original fibers. Wool brings comfort and moisture control, while Dupont's meta-aramid Nomex adds superior flame-retardancy and high strength.
"Wool adds value to high tech synthetic-fiber fabric in terms of comfort and wearability, without sacrificing any protective functions,? comments Mehta. "In performance fabric blends, wool is the fiber of choice.?
The resulting woven fabric has such great military potential that the U.S. Army's Natick Soldier Systems Center in Natick, Mass., has contracted with ASI to develop dyes and dye techniques that would allow the fabric to be camouflage printed using the latest 'pixilated' printing systems. The first 1,000 yards of woven wool/Nomex were produced in July to be used for extensive wear testing throughout the Army.
"We are optimistic about potential sales for wool/Nomex products both commercially and for the military. ASI has various programs to market American wool and it is exciting when we find new avenues," says Rita Kourlis Samuelson, deputy director of operations and wool marketing director.

Welcome to the DeLouise Lab
Engineering Smart Bio Nanomaterials for Diagnostic, Therapeutic and Investigative Studies of Skin Biology and Barrier Function
We manipulate materials on the micro, nano and molecular level scales to design biomedical devices for diagnostic, therapeutic and investigative studies of skin. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates experimental research and simulation to design devices that exploit the novel optical, morphological and surface chemical properties of nanostructured materials. Key focus areas include optical biosensing, microflulidic cell sorting and cell culture and nanoparticle skin penetration, skin imaging, translocation and targeted delivery.
Main project areas include:
1. Porous Silicon Senors and Bioactive Hydrogels
Synthesizing target responsive hydrogels and incorporating these into nanoporous silicon photonic band gap structures to design point of care optical biosensors. Such nanocomposite devices can be developed for Smart Bandage applications for treatment of chronic skin disorders, wound healing, tissue engineering and pathogen detection.
2. Applications of PDMS Microbubble Arrays
Exploiting silicon wafer fabrication technology and gas expansion molding (GEM) we have developed a novel PDMS microfluidic bubbular array technology for cancer and stem cell sorting and microcell culture. Microbubbles arrays comprise a novel 3D micrometastatic tumor spheroid model that can be used for high throughput screening and determination of drug efficacy using a model more representative model of in vivo.
3. Nanoparticles and Skin
Designing bioactive NIR fluorescent nanoparticle probes of epithelial barrier function. To complement standard techniques (histology, TEM, FACS) we are designing a NIR reflection and fluorescent Confocal microscope to quantify NP skin penetration and to relate skin translocation patterns to disease including skin cancer and atopic dermatits.
Because of the increasing use of nanomaterials in reserach, manufacturing and presence in consumer products - there is an increasing potenital for NP to contact skin. Therefore we are developing an in vivo mouse model to investigate NP skin penetration and translocation mechanisms under both normal and pathologic conditions with the goal to quantify the potential toxicological impact (Nanotoxicology).

Son House
By Mark Grube ~ Posted Tue, 07/13/2010 - 4:07pm
There's some new art in the South Wedge. The traffic control box on South and Gregory now sports a portrait of Son House. You don't usually think of icons like Muddy Waters or Robert Johnson as having had influences, but Son was a major inspiration to both. He lived in Rochester from the mid 40's until 1964, when he was tracked down by a couple fans, a discovery that spurred him back out on the road... to Carnegie Hall, among other venues. He kept at it while his health allowed, and died in Detroit in 1988.
It's nice to meet his gaze on my way to work or the corner store or the bar, and especially on Thursday nights when Beale Street Cafe across the street hosts Son House Night. Gordon Munding and friends celebrate his music every week. Son takes it all in, while the lights turn from red to green and back again.

We [Universal Design Alliance board members] love your newsletter so much that we are fashioning our own member newsletter in much the same way as yours.- Carol Platt, ASID, CAPS – Board Member At Large, Universal Design Alliance
(pronounced AB-ruh-gayt )
If you abrogate something, then you either treat it as if it doesn't exist or you abolish or annul it. Yes, it's a strong verb, so use it carefully!
Example: The architectural firm's decade-old rule that had abrogated the wearing of blue jeans or Bermuda shorts on Fridays in the summer was recently removed from the employee handbook.
(pronounced a-SIR-bik)
A great way to remember what this word means: think acid. Yes, this descriptor means sharp and bitter in tone, temper, or mood. And I think we all know someone like this. (Just don't let that someone be you.)
Example: During studio peer review, Kelly's bitterness permeated the room; after his negative evaluation, he just couldn't hold back his the acerbic remarks that were flooding his brain.
(pronounce ak-wee-ESS)
Though this word looks like it might have some kind of relationship to water - i.e., aqua- it doesn't. So get that out of your head. (Sorry we even mentioned it.) Anyway, when you acquiesce, it means that you comply with and accept an idea or situation passively, without a struggle or objection. Takin' it eaaaasy.
Example: To hold on to his job (that he desperately needs), Gordon always acquiesces when his workaholic boss demands he stay late at the office, even on Friday nights.
(pronounced AS-theet or ehs-THEET)Also spelled esthete, this term refers to a person who is devoted to and cultivates a heightened appreciation of beauty as it relates to the arts, which could include fine art, decorative art, architecture and design, fashion, music, literature, film and cuisine. Possessing an aesthetic sense is appealing, while acting hoity-toity and highfalutin is simply annoying.Example: Having an aesthete for an interior design client was quite a challenge to Pam, though she enjoyed the challenge, especially when it came to incorporating his extensive collection of antique musical instruments into the project.
(pronounced a-fehk-TAY-shehn)
If someone you know often has an affectation, try not to slap him or her, though it will take a great deal of will power. (Eye-rolling might be a safer alternative.) An affectation is the act of exhibiting pretentious behavior that is not at all natural to a persons personality and normal demeanor; when someone is a fake or artificial in conduct, speech, and/or emotional expression. In other words: putting on a show for the people around you. Leave affectations to The Master Thespian. Acting! Thank you!
Example: While taking minutes at the meeting, Yvonne resisted the temptation to record the derogatory whispers in response to Jons relentless, cringe-worthy affectation, which he mistakenly felt earned him respect instead of jeers.
(pronounced eh-FISH-ee-uh-nah-doh)
The pursuit of knowledge and pleasure sets us apart from the other creatures on this earth, and those of us humans who thoroughly enjoy, passionately become educated about, ardently appreciate and devote our time to a particular activity or interest are called aficionados.
Example: Beths client proudly proclaimed himself a vintage car aficionado, so when planning his new residence, she took just as great care to detail and finish out his expanded garage as she did when designing the rest of his home.
(pronounced eh-FOWL-uv)
Heres a very concise way to say that one (hopefully not you) has gotten himself into conflict, collision or entanglement with something or someone. The phrase is most commonly used with the verb run.
Example: Without realizing it, the design team had run afoul of the latest patient privacy laws in their layout for the clinic prototype they developed for and presented to the companys board of directors and facility management team.
(pronounced eh-MAL-gehm)
Though this word is used to describe an alloy of mercury, for our purposes here, were using its other definition: a combination of diverse elements.
Example: After formulating a concept for her clients new global corporate headquarters, Jan presented the trading company with an amalgam of Japanese, Chinese and Thai motifs as to acknowledge their rich Asian history.
(pronounced AM-bee-ehnt or AM-bee-uhnt)An adjective that describes a sensory element whether it be light, sound, smell or touch (commonly in the form of temperature) in regard to ones environment. This characteristic envelops those who experience it. Enough with the mumbo-jumbo already lets use it in some sentences. Example: So that visitors would have adequate ambient light in which to study, the lighting designer planned for evenly spaced fluorescent lighting throughout the library. Since the ambient noise in the stacks would be extremely low, she was sensitive to the possibility of lamp buzz related to the fluorescent fixtures. However, since fluorescent lighting gives off little heat compared to incandescent sources, the designer knew the lamps would contribute little to the ambient temperature of the library.
(pronounced uh-MOR-fehs)Remember this word by picturing an amoeba. You know – an ever-changing protozoan that you've seen either on the Discovery Channel, under a microscope in high school science class, or in creepy science fiction flicks. Yes, the word amorphous is an adjective meaning without a clearly defined form or shape – i.e., without structure. The term isn't limited to microscopic organisms, though. It can be applied to other, more intangible things, describing them as unclassifiable / unknown or lacking unity and organization. Example: When she returned to work after only three sick days, Jackie was horrified to review the amorphous mess of a proposal that her project team submitted in response to the potential new client's RFP.
(pronounced AM-per-sand)We have discovered that many interior design related student organizations are coming together on their respective campuses under the umbrella of one name. One of the common ones we have heard is "Ampersand". Therefore, we thought it fitting to include this entry, which we have taken directly from World Wide Words, our favorite word-obsessed website: "This name for the character '&' is surprisingly recent, not being known before the nineteenth century, though the character itself was in use long before printing was invented. It started life as a Roman scribe's abbreviation of the Latin 'et', meaning 'and', and became common in the early medieval period. It was later taken over as an abbreviation for the English word 'and'." To read more, go directly to Issue 637 of World Wide Words.Example: PLiNTH & CHiNTZ, along with several other design-oriented enterprises, uses an ampersand as part of its name and logo.
(pronounced a-nihk-DOH-tehl)
As you might imagine, this term means of, relating to, or consisting of anecdotes and the depiction of a scene suggesting a story, but it also is used to describe something that is based on or contains reports of intuitive, yet unproven, observation. The example uses the former definition.
Example: Within her weekly project reports Olivia often included excessive anecdotal detail, causing them to be twice as long as necessary and confusing the rest of the project team.
(pronounced eh-PLAHM)
This term means poise, skillfulness, and confidence shown when challenged with a taxing situation.
Example: The fact that Yolanda conducted herself with seamless aplomb at the extraordinarily tense client interview made her supervisor realize how much she had grown and how deserving she was of a promotion.
(pronounced AH-pray)A French term meaning after. It is usually combined with another word to form a noun. The most frequently combination is with the word ski: après-ski (to mean social activities at hotels / restaurants in ski resort towns in the evenings).Example: After a long trade show activities and continuing education seminars, many of conference attendees were ready to wind down with the après-dinner entertainment.
(pronounced a-preh-POH)
This flexible little French word can function as adverb, adjective, and/or preposition. Let's take the definitions in order, shall we? As an adverb it means with regard to the present topic or at an appropriate time. As an adjective it means relevant and applicable. As a preposition it means concerning and with regard to, and you'd use it with the word "of", as in "apropos of…" We'll use the adjective version in our example sentence.
Example: In light of the hellish project that she had just lived through, Violet felt that her words of warning on the firm's existing contractual agreement were quite apropos.
To bridge the gap between the student / educational community and the professional / manufacturer community of the interior design world, and not to die of boredom while we do it.
When you enter Amazon through our humble little website, a wee portion of your purchase – no matter what you buy – helps to keep PLiNTH & CHiNTZ up-n-running. The best part: It doesn't cost you anything extra and it helps us keep your access to PLiNTH & CHiNTZ free.

Roam 12" Vinyl LP
Listen to Adrian Krygowski - Roam via Team Clermont PR
Listen to Adrian Krygowski - Roam via American Songwriter
In August of 2011, Adrian Krygowski had a relatively normal life. He worked for a telecom giant in Northern Virginia, had a commute, and on the weekends he would travel the east coast with his aggressive folk music, making fans one-by-one and growing his dream. He also just finished recording his previous record, "Hope For Us."
On that hot day in August, Verizon Communications union went on strike, and all office personnel were to report to union offices, to scab for those on strike, until further notice. Little did Adrian know Buffalo, NY turned to be the most violent work environment within Verizon, with more "incidents" between union and non-union employees than any other office. The threats of being run over by drunken union employees, non-entry of workspaces by force, being chased throughout town, and non-cooperation from unionized Buffalo Police Department, was more than Adrian bargained for in his career thus-far. In the evenings however, when everything was quiet, Adrian toted his guitar a mile through the streets of Buffalo until he reached his songwriting zen, an empty baseball diamond in pitch dark. It was over these four weeks, most every night, that Adrian wrote the bulk of his newest soul-driven and working-man record, "Roam", a play on his temporary home's namesake.
A year later, Adrian had left Verizon, moved to East Nashville Tennessee, and had 350 shows under his belt. New band members included Paul Niehaus on steel (Calexico, Justin Townes Earle), Jared Manzo on bass (Chris Scruggs), drummer Aaron Distler (Heypenny), Meredith Brown on fiddle (The Bard Owls), and St Louis/DC banjo king, Anders Fahey.
The new record brings a new perspective, new soul, and more defined voice from his living. His music reflects the struggle and tension of the American people over the past few years, and really hits home for those listening-in. With recent successes such as CBGBs Music & Arts Festival, Daytrotter, Fearless Radio, WDVX, and bill-shares with Scott McMicken (Dr. Dog), Pokey LaFarge & The South City Three, The Oh Hellos, The Dirt Daubers, Woody Pines, Joe Fletcher, Joshua Black Wilkins, Johnny Fritz/Corndawg, Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles, Adrian's music is getting closer to the people, where it belongs.
Adrian Krygowski Biography
East Nashville musician Adrian Krygowski has been touring east of the Mississippi strongly since 2009, playing his brand of intense 'Soul-Folk' to sold-out rock clubs, listening rooms, house concerts, coffee shops, festivals, and everywhere in between. He's touching on 400 shows since then, and only shows signs of gaining more steam, and dedicated fanbase.
The three-piece band of Paul Niehaus on steel (Calexico, Justin Townes Earle), and Jared Manzo on bass (Chris Scruggs), powers through their new record 'Roam,' a seven-song LP, on stages in the Nashville regional circuit, while Adrian primarily plays solo, or with fiddle, in most other markets still.
Recent release of 'Roam' at $2 Tuesday at The 5-Spot in East Nashville, on January 14th, brought the full-band plus The Nashville Horns and full sounds of his new CD. He still primarily tours with upright bass and/or fiddle or banjo, with recent succes such as performing at Second Annual CBGBs Music and Arts Festival, Named Top 250 Songs of 2013 by Daytrotter, on-air features at Wisconsin NPR, Fearless Radio, WDVX, WNJR, WETS, and bill-shares with Scott McMicken (Dr. Dog), Pokey LaFarge and The South City Three, The Oh Hellos, The Dirt Daubers, Woody Pines, Grant-Lee Phillips, Joe Fletcher, Joshua Black Wilkins, Johnny Fritz/Corndawg, The Farewell Drifters, Lucy Michelle and The Velvet Lapelles, and The Vespers; Adrian's music is getting closer to the people, where it belongs.
Adrian and Meredith started performing together, as Meredith sat-in on a short midwestern tour in mid-2012. That winter, they worked to put a traditional tune "Jack of Diamonds" on Adrian's upcoming "Roam" LP. In early 2013, they were asked to perform at MKE Follies, a Milwaukee Performance company with Adrian's sister, Lindsey (Video from their 3-piece performance here. The show sold out, and their new act built on from there. Currently, Adrian + Meredith have been consistent in the Chicago, and Southern Michigan area, and plans to pick up more traditional and vaudeville musical stylings.
One of the first things Train Case Management was asked to do after signing Adrian, was to build a consistent band in the Nashville area. (Those from the area know musicians move around alot in a vast scene). Adrian had already been playing with Paul Niehaus on Pedal-Steel (Calexico, Justin Townes Earle, Lambchop) for a few months, with several new songs and Nashville-local showcases needing a fuller sound. TCM immediately found Jared Manzo, after playing with Derek Hoke & Chris Scruggs, and the consistent 3-Piece was formed.
With a rotating cast of drummers, Aaron Dister (Heypenny), Simon Roper (St. Johns), Joe Curet, etc., the band tracked "Roam", all brand new songs since Adrian moved to the East Nashville neighborhood. With the release of the LP, the full-band has only gotten more prominent in the scene, with well-known showcases such as 8 off 8th, $2 Tuesdays, Daytrotter, New Faces, Terryfest, Terry Coverfest, and co-headlining their own dates at The High Watt and The Basement.
Press, Reviews:
The Purr of The People on Fire: Some days you just beg the smoke and the horizon that blew it to suck you in. -Sean Moeller // Daytrotter
Adrian Krygowski may not be a household name, let alone pronounceable at first go, but his gifts as a songwriter and a crafter of gruff yet lyrical Americana are hard to deny. One listen to new track "Roam" is all the proof you need. -KDHX St. Louis
...what a great discovery he turned out to be! His songs are real gems that he delivers with a sharp lyrical wit...mini portrayals of life along with all its tattered edges, fragmented hopes and dreams. -Folk Radio UK
...inspired by a life-changing union strike he was involved in.-CMT Release News
East Nashville's Adrian Krygowski jumps into 'Shot in the Dark' as a couple's volatile relationship crumbles around them. The soul-inspired folk musician took a chance on writing a song in reverse - with the breakup at the beginning and a steamy romance at the end. -CMT Edge - Adrian Krygowski Takes a Shot at Writing in Reverse
Krygowski has a rough, expressive voice and a penchant for waltz time, and lends his powerhouse lyrical skills to themes of restlessness and, above all, a relationship with place. Given that Roam is so short, the percentage of songs that talk about geographical regions as if they're love interests is astonishing: there's an 'Ohio,' a 'Wisconsin #2,' and a 'Chicago,' not counting 'Roam.' Generally speaking, the songs address places as if they're true lovers about to be left, although 'Chicago' is flecked with effervescent, hopeful guitar strumming. 'Built a good life here, a little piece of heaven,' Krygowski sings coarsely, but then continues, 'Chicago, I been waiting on sunrise for way too long.'-Buzz and Howl
[7.5/10 Stars] The outcome is like the stunning discovery of a dustbowl era reel-to-reel. Roam's strength is its lack of marketable angles. This style of music hasn't been popular in fifty years if it ever was. Furthermore, in the image oriented digital age a lack of theatrics wont do much for exposure, but the ears can still find perfect pitch. Adrian Krygowski doesn't dress the part. He doesn't need to, his music is the real deal. -Surviving The Golden Age
[4.5/5 Stars] With the release of his second album "Roam," indie folk singer/songwriter is finally a full-time musician, having left a career with Verizon in his rear-view mirror. It's a wise move because the seven-track release is nothing short of spectacular. From the opening notes of the title track to the final strains of "Bailout Brawl," Krygowski is clicking on all cylinders. Other standouts include "Ohio," "Drunkard's Hiccups," "Chicago" and "Shot in the Dark." -The Daily News, McKeesport PA
Once in a while, there comes a voice that is so instantly classic and unique that you feel like you've been hearing it for years. Adrian Krygowski has one of those voices. It makes you feel like it can make the lame walk and the blind men see. -That Music Magazine Philly - Album Review
As he walks through the entrance of IOTA, his old haunt in Arlington, VA, I see his hair is much shorter, his look a bit more polished. But as he greets me, that voice - well, that hasn�t changed. -That Music Magazine Philly - Time To Roam: An Interview with Adrian Krygowski
This is a nice bunch of tasty pastries for millennial malcontents. -Midwest Record

The Bolts defense proved too tough for us and we can't seem to keep it rolling. We started out like a runaway train and then the brakes were applied by the Bolts defense. Rivers shined with a 116 passer rating against us.
Tough night. Hit and miss again. We ran the ball well at times and then couldn't. The pass rush off the edges didn't get blocked a few times and Orton paid the price. He's a tough guy. Growing pains showed and inconsistency prevailed all over the field. I couldn't stop watching because I just knew they would snap out of it and get rolling, but that's the homer in me I guess.
What did you guys see? It was just a plain tough night in San Diego to me.
Have to add a side note from last week. Go back and check out the last few posts because it was late in the week and you probably missed Bay go into his reasoning for his current jersey selection……..it was toooooo funny.
Okay, my buddy Cory lives in St. Louis and he sent me the following as his scouting report, so I told him I would make him famous with a very tough, intelligent PRO-Broncos blog-o-sphere crowd.
This weekend's game between the Denver Broncos and the St.Louis Rams is highlighted by a rematch of the coordinators from Super Bowl XLII. Broncos Head Coach Josh McDaniels was the Offensive Coordinator for the record setting 2007 New England Patriots. And Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnulo was the Defensive Coordinator of the 2007 New York Giants.
Offensively the Rams run a West Coast Offense that looks a lot like the Bill Walsh West Coast System the 49ers utilized in the 1980′s. A lot of 3 and 5 step drops and a lot of short throws to RB's and TE's. There is no deep threat for the Rams so most defenses play safeties no further than 8-10 yards from the line of scrimmage. The Rams weakness on offense is their WR corps. They have no real #1 or #2. Danny Amendola is the teams leading WR and he plays out of the slot. Their WR corps may be the worst in the NFL. They have two or three guys that wouldn't even be able to make most of the other teams in the NFL. These guys are easy to jam at the line of scrimmage and do not get separation from DB's. QB Sam Bradford is likely going to win this year's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. He makes very little mistakes. He just set an NFL record for rookies for most consecutive pass attempts without an INT. The Rams offensive line is one of the highest paid in the NFL and one of the most underachieving. Rookie Left Tackle Rodger Saffold (2nd Round Pick out of Indiana) is arguably their best lineman. Very good feet, plays with good leverage, and has the best hands of any lineman I have seen since Jake Long came out in 2008. Their interior O-Line is their weakness. OLG Jacob Bell has been one of the biggest free agent busts of the past 10 years for the Rams. ORG Adam Goldberg is 6'7 and is not very mobile and get's pushed into the backfield a lot. The Rams best offensive player is RB Steven Jackson who is 4th in the NFC in rushing. Jackson is also a threat out of the backfield as a receiver with 30 receptions. Jackson's weakness is, for a big back (6'2 240), he dances a lot and is not a good pass blocker.
Defensively the Rams have made great strides after being one of the worst defenses in the NFL for the past 6 seasons. The Rams give up a lot of yards but not a lot of points. They are 8th in the NFL in points allowed at 19.8. The Rams implore a 4-3 scheme that is very similar to the Jim Johnson Philadelphia Eagles defenses from the past decade. It all starts up front for the Rams on the defensive line. The Rams D-Lineman do so many things during any given game. A lot of stunts and zone blitzes. Chris Long is the team's starting DLE and is the son of Hall-of-Famer and former Oakland Raider D-Lineman Howie Long. Chris had a slow start to his career after being the #2 overall pick in the NFL Draft in 2008. Long played a lot of OLB and 5-technique DE in college at Virginia, where the Cavaliers played a 3-4 defensive scheme. So it has taken a while for Long to learn how to play in a 4-3. He played DRE his first two seasons before moving to DLE this season, where he is having his best season to date. Playing OLB at Virginia has helped Long drop back in the Zone Blitzing as he is their most effective player doing so. Long and opposite starting DE James Hall have combined for 13 sacks so far this season. The Rams are 6th in sacks in the NFL this season with 28. The Rams do like to blitz. Especially up the A and B gap. At LB the Rams are very thin and not very talented. Their best player on defense is their MLB James Laurinitis. If that name sounds familiar for wrestling fans it should. He is the son of former Professional Wrestler "Animal" of the legendary tag team The Legion of Doom (or Road Warriors). The Rams LB's are weak in pass coverage and the middle of the field can be attacked. At CB the Rams like to be physical with receivers at the line of scrimmage then play a lot of zone cover 2 and cover 3. FS O.J. Atogwe is among the league leaders in INT and forced turnovers since 2006. But Atogwe is a liability against the run and is easily fooled against the play action.
Here is the bottom line. The Rams went 6-42 from 2007-2009. They are 4-6 in 2010 and one game behind Seattle in the NFC West. The Rams did not draft well from 2000-2007 and had a lot of free agent busts. So depth is an issue at nearly every position. Especially WR, D-Line, and CB. The Rams are 0-4 on the road this season and 1-11 on the road under Steve Spagnulo. They have given up 4th quarter leads in three of their four road games thus far. Mostly due to the front line D-Lineman wearing out late in the game and their backups just are not very talented.
Definite W for the Broncos…I added that. )

This reclaimed tree slice is a rustic gem made from Canary Island Pine. I made it with my own hands so it's not some cheap China-made product that everyone will have. This is true craftsmanship. The dimensions are: 16'' high, (a 19'' version also available) 24'' wide, 3'' thick. The hair pin legs are stainless steel and it's best for an indoor setting. Outdoor use will require an additional polyurethane coating, which is available upon request. Typically wood slice tables sell for multiples of what I'm offering.
If you're not in LA, don't worry. I can ship it at cost, which is $75.
Come check out it and other pieces (more will be posted later this week, I hope)

Zen Buddhism and Hasidism: a comparative studyIn this work Jacob Yuroh Teshima juxtaposes two religions whose origins are completely different: Zen Buddhism and Hasidic Judaism. The purpose of this comparative study is not to determine which religion is superior, but rather to compare their functional equivalents. After presenting backgrounds of the two religions, Dr. Teshima examines the Zen Buddhist practice of zazen and Hasidism's devequth, or meditation on God. He then discusses how each religion comes to terms with the major obstacle in the practice of comtemplation: distracting thoughts. Teshima compares conceptions of man offered by the two religions, making clear their fundamental differences concerning the nature of selfhood and source of fulfillment. The study concludes with an examination of how the two religions come to terms with the insecurity of life and what it is that gives life meaning and significance. Contents: Introduction to Zen Buddhism and Hasidism; Zazen and Devequth; The Problem of "Strange Thoughts"; Annihilating Selfhood and Attaining Ecstasy; The Concept of Man; Insecurity of Life: The Hasidic Approach to Exile and the Zen Approach to Birth and Death. |

New City Goal: 20% of Trips by Bike by 2020
Last week, the SF Bicycle Coalition was invited to present our Connecting the City vision at the Transportation Authority Plans and Programs meeting by Supervisor David Chiu. San Francisco Bicycle Coalition Acting Executive Director Renée Rivera shared our vision for continuous and connected crosstown bikeways as one of the smartest and most effective transportation investments the Transportation Authority could make. Board of Supervisor Presisent David Chiu's call for re-shaping our streets to encourage 20 percent of all trips by bike by 2020, based on the affordable plans laid out in the Connecting the City plan, will help guide the future of San Francisco's streets.
Yesterday, the Board of Supervisor's unanimously adopted President Chiu's resolution of the goal of 20% of trips by bike by 2020. A huge milestone to helping San Francisco plan for the pending population and job boom. Connecting the City's safe and comfortable crosstown routes are the key to making more trips by bike possible and reaching 20% of trips by bike by 2020. This plan will help ensure that the city is an easy place to shop, commute, live and play for the one million people who will need to move around it.
Today's SF Examiner reports on the story (reposted below).
SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco set itself a new transit goal Tuesday: By 2020, 20 percent of trips taken should be by bicycle.
The ambitious goal will serve as a guide for city officials when making development or budget decisions. It builds on The City's transit-first policy that encourages traveling around by means other than a car.
An estimated 7 percent of the trips taken today in San Francisco are by bicycle. Legislation setting the goal of 20 percent of trips taken by bicycle come 2020 was introduced by Board of Supervisors President David Chiu and unanimously approved Tuesday by the board.
The new goal comes as San Francisco plans for the expected influx of 150,000 new residents and the creation of 230,000 new jobs over the coming decades.

Hello everyone! I am wondering what to pick as my kitchen light fixtures. I have a very small island. It is an eat in kitchen also. So, I would need two fixtures. One above the island and one above the table. My appliances are stainless steel and my curtain rods and fixtures are stainless steel. My kitchen cabinets are a very dark brown espresso colour. My counter top is speckled brown and beige. My backsplash is a creamy beige and so are my tiles. WOuld you have any suggestions on lighting? Should I use stainless steel? Black? By the way my curtains are neutral also and are a champagne beige colour.Thanking you in advanceMarisa
Contemporary Universal Lighting is a great idea to be looked on.
You might find some ideas here: http://www.ecoledlight.co.uk/led-lighting-design.asp
Good combination. Try a contemporary to suite the universal style of the place and it will give some radiance to your place.
I'm using LEDs on top as well as the bottom, I'm happy with the results
Google "Universal Lighting" and see if you can find some inspiration there. They have some nice fixtures and different price points. I am not affiliated with them but I have purchased lighting there. It is hard to advise you when we don't know your style. (traditional? modern? contemporary? etc. I would probably use stainless steel or brushed nickel unless your cabinet hardware is black. What colour are your curtain rods? You might want to post a pic of your kitchen to get a better response. The size of your table may be able to help you choose your size of fixture (if you have a large table you will not want to choose a fixture that looks too small with it) Some fixtures come in different sizes for that reason.

Pros :
# Amazing screen, great contrast with NIL glare
# Enticing Sound quality
# Delighting speed
# Ubuntu pre-installed
# Economical
# Rubberised grip panel makes holding the laptop easy and makes it virtually fingerprint resistant
# Dedicated mute-button (somewhat useful at times)
# Virtually noise-less heat vent even on full power (such a relief !!! )
Cons :
# Trackpad is a menace while typing, extremely sensitive..gets pressed at times (Trackpad disabling software installation is a MUST)
# Trackpad doesn't support multi-touch gestures
# Battery life somewhere near 2.5 hours
# Keys spaced widely (not suitable for people with thin fingers like mine )
# Lack of a good dedicated Graphics Card makes it slow on graphics oriented jobs like Gaming
# Bulky
# Gets charged from nil to full in about 3-3.5 hours
# Screen heavier than rest of the body, causes the laptop to tend to topple when used on lap in bed
Bought this laptop last month, and you can't ask for more at this price. Its an absolute delight.
1. Screen Quality and resolution extremely good.
2. Sound Quality also pretty impressive.
3. Best of all..the heat vent..no noise at all, even during heavy processing.
4. The base doesn't get heated up after prolonged usage...so you can keep it in lap while watching movie or anything (though not recommended)
5. Keyboard is nice.
6. Pretty good look and feel with the rubberized finish. Different from the normal metallic finish.
7. Forgot to mention...Processor extremely good..5.8 Windows Exprience rating for the processor on scale of 1-8 and i'm using Windows 7 Ultimate, so its pretty good.
8. Battery life extremely good..somewhere near 4 hours for normal stuffs.
Not much upsets for such a deal in this range
1. Not suitable for high end gaming or other visual effects. But that is already known when we go for this laptop, as there's no graphic card included.
2. RAM is 2 GB..more than sufficient for normal usage. Under normal use, you will go no where near 2 GB RAM usage, so works like a charm. For high end softwares or games, consider upgrading the RAM.
3. A little bulky and heavier than usual.
But overall very good GO FOR IT deal.

As this is a 2nd gen system so its better to not to talk about its speed, bcoz speed is very good. Anti glare screen is one of most important point. :-)
The backpack bundled with this product looks like cheap :-( ,its totaly disappointed me but i am pleased with the lappie's performance and flipkart service. I have
rated this product wid 4 stars, i deducted 1 star for the cheap looking backpack.
Finally this is the most recommended laptop on flipkart in low price range.

Laptop is pretty good but faced the following issues
1) Track pad stopped working in two months. (Got it replaced by dell in warranty)
2) Hard disk was corrupted and repaired (Dell got it replaced within warranty).
3) The charging port was repaired, this was changed by Dell by giving a new set of chargers (Within Warranty)
~ Laptop seemed to have been used for some time (which came as a rude shock)
Installed Windows 7 edition, things were seamless
1) But every now and then the system hangs while doing nothing more than using internet. Even with hard shut down the system doesnt restart. You hv to take up the battery put it back again to start the machine..
Warranty support is good as in for the first one year what ever issue you may face they will resolve it.
Hi, I got my laptop from Flipkart some days before. I faced some problem with ubuntu as it was not working on any net dongle device but finally I made it working. And about the product :
Pros :
Overall Look : Great
Touch Pad : working perfectly
Screen : Good
Speakers : Great
USB Ports : Well placed
Screen Back : Good rubber grip but dust on that will make you irritated.
Card Slot : Well Placed
Battery Backup : 3 hours
Speed and performance : Perfect for normal user like me
Back Pack : Its good but not perfect as it should be.
Con :
I didn't found anything in device which I can mentioned in this part. But If you are having reliance dongle, it will not work on it. But you can google to work out that.
