The bathroom is completely gutted. We're getting ready to put the PVC drain pipe in for the shower and it needs to go through 2 or 3 joists to join the main stack. I notice all the shower drains are designed for 2" pipe. To keep the joist holes as small as possible is it ok to transition from say a 2" P-trap to 1 1/2" pipe, or am I asking for trouble (slow drains) later on?
Also -- this is a 2nd floor bathroom and we don't want to open up the ceiling below for P-trap access -- I assume I need a one-piece P-trap (without the swiveling adjustable thingy) and need to be right on the money for exact center of the shower before we glue it together, before we put the subfloor down?
it would be wise on the second floor just to do it right and not
fool around cutting corners....you might pay for it later...
1 1/2 will barely work on a shower situatioin
although I have seen it done that way many times
in many older homes that was what was used.....
but if you have got the walls open , its not that much more trouble to
drill 2 inch holes and not worry about the shower drain getting overwhelmed
someday in the future.....
yes, you really should install a solid pvc trap on the second floor
Wether you are capable of hitting the measurement perfect on
that trap is the big question
if you measure it perfect to center and use the type of PVC shower
drain with the rubber neopreme gasket in it you can glue everything
together but the stand pipe comming up through the floor
of course you can try this without useing the glue to make sure you got it right first.... then mark all the fittings with a majic marker so you stay on the money... and do the final run with glue....
you can set the base in place then measure the stand pipe and
glue it in through the drain hole once the base is in place and you are sure about everything being perfect....if you so wish , that makes things easy
then install that neopreme gasket and tighten it down....
good luck , have fun

drawing a circle around the fable's invisible avenue
following the white premonitions
the hyperboles and the polygons
of your desire
the city suspends
disproves the thesis enounced by the high priests
the ruins of the temple
are figures of transcendence
when we see a cat go by
we declare the impossibility of all deaths
we elude the demonstration
and the war thinkers
I hesitate on parallel lines
on the infinity that travels them
notice the intelligence
of my hand inside the mouth you drew
let us return to steel
to the gelid theorem
the sacred book of brumes and myth
with silence for pages

26. THE HOSPITAL OF ST. LEONARD, DURHAM Footnotes
St. Leonard's Hospital, which was commonly called the Spital-house, was in existence as early as 1292, when a mention of it occurs in the Patent Rolls, (fn. 1) but the date of its erection and the name of its founder are alike unknown. (fn. 2) It stood ' a little out of Durham on the north,' in what was originally St. Oswald's, but is now St. Margaret's parish. (fn. 3) The only trace of it now remaining is to be found in the name of a field called 'Spital-flat,' or 'Spital-close,' which lies to the north of Chapel-close. (fn. 4) It occurs, under the name of St. Leonard's chapel, in 1324; (fn. 5) and Mickleton says that persons executed for their crimes were usually buried there. (fn. 6)
Spital-house was originally a hospital for lepers; but in 1404 there was apparently only one leper there. (fn. 7) On 20 September, 1526, Cardinal Wolsey, then bishop of Durham, granted to Robert Haroy, in reward for his services, the hospital or messuage called the Spital-house, near Durham, with a garden and a close; the said Robert to maintain the hospital in repair, and pay or cause to be paid to the lepers and sick persons therein one cartload of coal per annum. (fn. 8)
The final demolition of the hospital appears from an entry in the grass-men's books of St. Margaret's parish, 1652-3; 'Paid to labourers for pulling down the walls of Spitalhouse, and carrying them forth for loading, 11s. 4d.' (fn. 9)

Spare me while I talk about my team for a moment. I almost missed out on my head to head playoffs. Another team grabbed the final spot one week before the postseason was to begin. Oh no, it was that mean old Mr.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jason Bourgeois
The Pirates announced the time is nigh for Starling Marte. The Pirates equipment manager, Buffalo Bill, has to start making a uniform made from Jose Tabata's skin. Put the lotion in the basket, Tabata! Tabata, "I wanna go home!" You won't go home, ever.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jason Bourgeois was traded to Royals with Humberto Quintero. Fun fact: Did you know Humberto Quintero weighs exactly a quarter more than Humberto Quadtero? When the trade was announced, Bourgeois said he'd once and for all bring down the tyrannical rule of the Royals and restore a society where Lorenzo Cain lost 75 to 100 at-bats and The Guido Playing 2nd Base lost 100 at-bats. Bourgeois insists that a free market system for steals is essential to their success. Then Bourgeois doffed his powdered wig and asked Yuniesky Betancourt to bring him some unpasteurized cheese. Chop, chop, Piss Boy! This trade doesn't flat out kill Cain…Sugar!'s value. It sure doesn't help it. As I mentioned to someone in the comments right after this trade went down, Cain…Sugar!
Please, blog, may I have some more?Even if you draft one or two outfielders in the top 100 (which you should), you'll still need to identify some late bargains. The top 20, 40, 60 and 80 outfielders for 2012 fantasy baseball can be found under the 2012 fantasy baseball rankings. This is by no means all the outfielders I'd draft for one of my teams. This is a list of guys that will go after the top 200 and could provide some healthy returns. Where applicable, click on the player's name to read more about them and to see their 2012 projections. Anyway, here's some outfielders to target for 2012 fantasy baseball:
Bryce Harper – More of a keeper pick. Not yet a stud, but should be a stud for many years to come, assuming the league doesn't disallow every home run he hits because of too much pine tar under his eyes.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We at Razzball realize that exporting our views across the country has damaging consequences on the blogosphere. To help make amends, we are reaching out to leading team blogs and featuring their locally blogged answers to pressing 2012 fantasy baseball questions regarding their team.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Scott Rolen is out for the season. It's time to go gorilla! I don't even know what that means. Random Italicized Voice, no one knows what it means, but it's provocative! If you got some risk to burn in deeper leagues at corner infidel, get in on Juan Francisco. I talked a bit yesterday about how I'm gonna go caca-cuckoo on Francisco next year if he has a starting job. I'm gonna be like a cyclops wearing a monocle. Why a cyclops wearing a monocle? Good question. A cyclops only has one eye so it's particularly sharp. Like how a blind person's hearing is enhanced. So you put a monocle on a cyclops and you have creature that sees everything. That'll be me. BTW, Yonder and Francisco have complementary hat tilts. Just something I thought you should know.
Please, blog, may I have some more?It's trade deadline time, a full baseball weekend, and Grey is at a crawfish festival asking ladies whether he has any chum in his moustache. Anyway, the Indians spoiled the Yanks and Sawx plans by nabbing Ubaldo for a bunch of prospects including their top two pitching prospects (Drew Pomeranz and Alex White).
Please, blog, may I have some more?While balancing a book on their head, the Blue Jays were poised to call up Brett Lawrie just when he fractured his hand. That's worst timing than the guy down at your local Chuckles nightclub doing an open mic set. But flip our Supreme Buddha In Funny Poses day calender two months later and the hand is healed. In two weeks at Triple-A since his return, he's hitting near .350 with a homer. Or as Lawrie would say on Twitter #yabuddy. "You want to convey your emotional state while giving the most information possible, all in under 140 characters." That's Lawrie explaining Twitter to his Grammie. Lawrie should be up in the next two weeks. So you have to decide if a .300 hitter with good power and speed at 2nd base is worth sitting on your bench until his call up. #yabuddy Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Hideki Matsui – Hello, time travelers from 2004. You are not in 2004 anymore. You are in 2011. Hideki Matsui is just hitting again. Though that is not Madonna on your radio, that is Lady Gaga.
Please, blog, may I have some more?I've given much love to Desmond Jennings already on this blog, and since what I've previously wrote still works, indulge me for a second, "Desmond's time is nigh, a word that only sounds negative. DJ is currently on the ones and twos for top ranked MLB prospects. He's ranked number one for me. Numero uno. The Big Mahoff. Dora the Explorer, Boots the Monkey and Swiper the Fox all wrapped in one! (What, not street enough?) If he reaches the top end of his ceiling, you're looking at Carl Crawford. More likely, you're going to open up this Crackerjack and get half a Carl Crawford. Say a Carlford. You ain't got the Craw yet, kid!" And that's me quoting me! In 2010, he swiped 37 bags with a .362 OBP in Triple-A. In only 57 games in Triple-A this year, 9 homers and 10 steals. Somebody gag Sam Fuld, put a gorilla suit on him and send him to Africa. We want Jennings. *fast-herpes-medication-side-effect-voice* Fuld should be benched any day now for Jennings' call-up. Or in the next week or so. It's worth the flyer for upside. If conditions persist for longer than 48 hours, call your doctor. Anyway, here's some more players to buy or sell this week in fantasy baseball:
Dee Gordon – Gordon is so fast he just ran into Kitchen Stadium, spit on Michael Symon's head, buffed it and ran out without Alton even noticing. I see no reason why you shouldn't own Gordon everywhere for a few weeks to see if he not only sticks but steals some bases. For more on my Dee Gordon fantasy, see that link. I wrote it while picking out all the strawberry Dippin' Dots from the Banana Split mix.
Please, blog, may I have some more?News comes that Dustin Pedroia might need surgery on his knee that could sideline him for at least a month. Knee surgery sounds like something that sidelines people for multiple months, even Sparky Anklebiters. Though sometimes Sparky Anklebiters can get so amped with leave-it-all-on-the-fieldness that they lose sight of the big picture and rush back too soon. You know, they try to chew through the cone around their head and don't heal properly. We know you're scrappy, Dustin, stop biting on your paw! If he rushes and comes back in July, then he could miss a few more weeks with a setback. Basically, what I'm saying is, you want him to just get sidelined for two months and come back healthy in August. It's not like what he was giving you now can't be replaced. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Anthony Rizzo – The San Diego Padres have something to be excited about. No, Tony Gwynn didn't announce he's becoming a competitive eater. No, they didn't put a giant afro on the Western Metal Supply Co.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

These Indian gatherings offer a chance for all people to socialize through song and dance.
Photo: Bruce Rettig, Randa Bishop (below)
Growing up in Fallon, Monty Williams remembers dancing in his first powwow at age eight. Forty-three years later, he explains to me their significance to American Indians. I am amazed by his thoroughness as he gives me—admittedly a novice on the subject—the rundown without so much as stumbling on a word or pausing for breath during our half-hour phone conversation.
Williams, 51, has danced, drummed, judged, sung, even directed powwows, and his vast knowledge of the subject speaks to his experience. His continued participation, however, speaks to something much larger. "Powwows are chances for people to get together and socialize through song and dance," says Williams, who is Goshute-Shoshone and the executive director of the Nevada Statewide Native American Coalition. "They're really a place to find safety in the arena and circle."
Powwows, although most culturally significant to American Indians, offer a sanctuary for people of all cultures (the majority in Nevada are free to attend, Williams points out). Also known as fandangos, these beautiful and inspiring ceremonies bridge past to present and connect generations, keeping culture, language, and legends alive.
There are dozens of annual powwows in Nevada, but for simplicity sake, we focus on two in this article. Both happen during the shelf life of this issue, but more importantly they help demonstrate the differences between the two main types of powwows: competitive and social.
Unlike a lot of Nevada powwows, and nationwide gatherings for that matter, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe's Sacred Visions Powwow is relatively new. The event was started in 2009, in order to "bring the community together and promote the culture of the Tribe," according to pyramidlake.us. After two very successful events, the third installment returns to Wadsworth's Big Bend Ranch, July 22-24.
"The tribe built its arbor (arena)specifically for this event," Williams says. "It's a good venue." Visitors can expect food, arts and crafts vendors, and dancers. A competitive powwow—most Nevada powwows are of this variety, Williams says—such as Sacred Visions can offer purses as large as $20,000. In addition to the open dances, contest dances for a particular style and age group are often held, with the top winners receiving a cash prize.
The Spirit of Wovoka Days Powwow, August 26-28, is held annually in Yerington to celebrate the life and legacy of Wovoka, known as the Paiute Messiah. The event honors the teachings of Wovoka, a Mason Valley resident who had a spiritual vision on New Year's Day 1890. In that vision, God taught him the secret of the Ghost Dance and told him to bring a life of peace and abundance to his people. "We hold the powwow every year in his honor to remember the things he did here and his teachings," says Debra Keats, a Paiute-Washoe and powwow chairwoman.
The mostly social powwow is sponsored by the Mason Valley Wind Spirit Dancers, which Keats co-directs. "The Wind Spirit Dancers began 24 years ago," she says. "We wanted to keep our children dancing and share our culture with the community." The gathering was inaugurated a few years later.
The down-home family powwow, as Williams refers to it, is free to attend, and all are welcome. "It's a great place for people to come together, to enjoy the music, and dance," Keats says. "People can bring a lawn chair and just relax. It's a great time for two-and-a-half days." Booths contain arts and crafts and food and drink, and dances honor and memorialize such groups as military veterans.—David Anthony
Going "back to the Wild West days," Monty Williams says, the Grand Entry is perhaps the most important part of the powwow tradition. Originally, the Grand Entry consisted of a parade through town, but the ritual has for the most part evolved into an elaborate entry into the arbor or arena. A procession of flag bearers, always entering from the East, carries the flags of various entities.
Dancers—men first—appear after other important guests (chiefs, elders, etc.), and the Grand Entry song ends once everyone is in the arena. After a song to honor the flags and what they stand for, a prayer is recited, and the dancing resumes.
Fancy Feather
Description: Vivid regalia and dramatic movement; highly athletic fancy dancers distinguished by use of a two-bustle design on their regalia.
Legend: This is the original war dance.
Description: Regalia has long, flowing fringe or yarn and designs reminiscent of grass blowing in the wind.
Legend: One story is that there once was a young tribal man who was crippled, but yearned to dance. He put long blades of grass in his belt and moved his legs in such a way that warrior dancers mimicked his style.
Northern Traditional
Description: Traditional regalia; single eagle bustle is common.
Legend: Meant to simulate the story of a hunt or battle; dancers look for tracks and carry weapons such as hatchets or spears.
Southern Traditional
Description: More homemade features such as chokers, breastplates, etc.; porcupine hair headdresses or otter skin hats are common. Single otter skin down the full length of back.
Source: Monty Williams
Fancy Shawl (Butterfly Dance)
Description: Brilliant colors; long, usually fringed and decorated shawls; dancers perform rapid spins and elaborate dance steps.
Legend: There was a couple who were together many years. The man was killed, and the woman went into mourning. She eventually came out of her symbolic cocoon like a butterfly.
Jingle Dress (Medicine Dance)
Description: Skirt with 365 small tin tobacco lid cones make noise as dancer moves with light footwork.
Legend: A girl became sick, so her father went to the creator. The spirits told him to make a dress with tobacco lid cones and to pray every day offering tobacco. At the end of the year, they told him to put the healing dress on his daughter to wear.
Northern Traditional
Description: Traditional regalia of cloth or leather (buckskin), featuring authentic design and materials. Long buckskin fringe from elbow to ankle.
Southern Traditional
(Buckskin & Cloth)
Description: Regalia similar to Northern Traditional dance, but Southern style of dance has short breastplate and long ribbon running down the full length of back.
All powwow festivals are alcohol and drug free. Please don't take pictures or use audio or video recording devices during the flag, prayer, or honor songs, and when an individual is honoring a drum through whistle. Guests are asked to stand and remove their hats for certain songs, unless you have an eagle feather in it. It is traditional to show respect to visiting chiefs and elders by deferring to them at virtually all times. Do not crowd around the drummers.
Always ask for permission before making recordings or taking pictures of the dancers in their regalia. Children are welcome to enjoy the event but cannot play in the sacred circle.
Participants are asked to respect the arena director, head dance man, and woman head dancer. If you are unsure who these individuals are, please ask. Follow the master of ceremonies statements during the powwow.—nevadaindianterritory.com

Washington Redskins: John Beck, Rex Grossman sharing duties
The Redskins quarterback plan heading into Thursday night's game at Baltimore will be "two series on, two series off" for John Beck and Rex Grossman, ESPN's Ron Jaworski tells ABC7's Tim Brant.
Both Beck and Grossman are competing for the starting quarterback position.
Head Coach Mike Shanahan has not announced which quarterback will start.
Shanahan also has said that he doesn't plan on naming a starting quarterback for the Sept. 11 season opener against the New York Giants until a few days before the game.
In the Redskins 16-3 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Aug. 19, Beck went 14/17 for 140 yards, while Grossman threw for 88 yards and an interception in relief.
A week earlier, Grossman started in the Redskins preseason opener against Pittsburgh. He completed 19 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown in a 16-7 win at FedEx Field.

For our avid followers it might not be news to you that SEAD Gallery will be welcoming a new artist to its walls in February. If it is news to you, know that it is good news. We are ecstatic to fill our walls with the richly colored, vibrant works of local artist, Jennifer Christy.
The first thing you realize when stepping into her studio is that this is Jennifer's world; there is color on virtually every surface, from her in progress canvases to the shelves that hold her supplies. A peg-board holds her impressive collection of brushes, paints, sponges, paint knives, and virtually everything else a painter could ever want. Standing in her studio, which seems to be dripping with Jennifer' creative energy, it is difficult to imagine her any other way, but according to the artist "Push Play" was birthed out of a "creative drought" of sorts.
After pouring her entirety into being a mom of two, Jennifer, found herself desperate for a creative outlet, but lacking inspiration. She spent the better part of a year struggling to find the spark that used to ignite her work. Her method of willing herself into being creative was not producing good results. Near her wits end, she decided to take a dramatically different approach to her work.
She began to ask herself "what would happen if I went up to the canvas and just started painting with NO expectations?" As soon as she tried this method she knew she was onto something. As her brush worked across the canvas she began to see shapes and patterns form effortlessly. They grew out of her being – almost as if an extension of her mood or spiritual disposition. She felt possessed by a new energy. She had found the spark again. What Jennifer later realized is that the "spark" she had rediscovered was the element of play, hence the title of her collection, "Push Play."

Come to the Table: American Pressed Glass
Tues - Fri: 9 AM - 8 PM | Sat - Sun: 12 PM - 6 PM (Closed on Mondays and University Holidays)
2nd floor of the MSC on the Texas A&M Campus, College Station.
Come to the Table showcases American pressed glass from the late 19th century, which was the height of the American Victorian period. In their earliest designs, pressed glass pieces mimicked the opulent cut glass that was used in the homes of wealthy Victorians. But because pressed glass was much less expensive to make, it was affordable to the middle-class, and pressed glass tableware came to be very popular in middle class and upper middle class American homes.

Aurene: Steuben's Iridescent Art Glass
Tues. - Friday: 9 AM - 8 PM | Sat - Sun: 12 PM - 6 PM (Closed on Mondays and University Holidays)
2nd floor of the MSC on the Texas A&M Campus, College Station.
Aurene glass, an iridescent glass originated by Steuben's co-founder and chief designer, Frederick Carder, was one of the company's most well-known art glass lines. Aurene glass was first marketed in 1904 and remained in production until around 1932. The hundreds of Aurene shapes and decorative elements produced by Steuben during Aurene's three decades of production illustrate the two contradictory influences of Carder's Steuben designs: the symmetry, order and balance of his classical art training, and the organic, flowing and highly-stylized design elements of the American Art Nouveau movement.

Ceramic floor tile on concrete basement floor w/toilet pedestal
Hello all. I am in the process of doing a few updates to my basement. I have a half bath that I've ripped the vinyl sheet & vinyl tile that was on top of it, and have removed as much of the old adhesive as I can. I plan to also replace the toilet, which sits upon a pedestal as you can see in the attached picture, and do a better job removing that adhesive as well.
I had planned to just put down new vinyl tile, but now I'm wanting to put down ceramic tile. The concrete is level and has a minor crack (~1/16th") which I circled in green. Judging by the texture of the concrete, I figure I'm better off putting down tile instead of leveling and smoothing the concrete for vinyl. I have zero experience doing tile, but I'm not inept and I should be able to get it done. My problem is that I'm an electrical engineer and I tend to over think and research things. I've read so many different threads and points of view that it's all beginning to run together. I've had my bathroom torn up for too long and I need to get it done so I can move on to the next project! I've lived in the house (built in 1980) 1.5 years and have had no water issues (knock on wood!). I'm on the fence about using Ditra. If I did, how would I handle the toilet pedestal? I plan on tiling the top and vertical surfaces if I can get the concrete cleaned well enough. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Particularly about how to handle the plane transitions at the pedestal. Picture - http://www.flickr.com/photos/42855804@N06/3982572620/ |

Approved by the Mānoa Faculty Senate on December 8, 2010
Supporting Documents
Date | Document & Link | Committee |
December 8, 2010 | CAPP |
60 Non-Intro Course Credit Requirement
Mānoa counts any 200-level course with a specific pre-requisite (contentbased) as a non-introductory course. Whereas the Community Colleges (CCs) have classes ending in 100 as a pre-requisites for many courses. Therefore the CC's 200 level courses are ―non-intro‖ by Mānoa standards. When students transfer from the CCs the UHM Admissions and Records (A&R) Office must check each lower division course— this is time consuming for A&R and confusing for students.
Proposal to consider:
The Committee on Enrollment Planning suggests the 60 Non-intro course credit requirement be removed in favor of a 45 credit upper division credit requirement. CAPP formed a sub-committee member to review this issue.
It is clearer for the UHM Admissions and Records office to have 45 upper division credits as the requirement, so that they do not have to look up the pre-requisites for every community college 200 level course to see if it qualifies as a non-introductory course and the pre-requisite.
The non-introductory credit requirement is confusing to students – some 200 level courses have pre-requisites and some do not. Students and Records Office must look up every 200 level course to determine whether it qualifies as a non-introductory course. For clarity the change of the 60 Non-Introductory credit requirement to 45 upper division credits is necessary.
Currently, the catalog defines Non-Introductory (NI) courses are from UH Mānoa courses at the 300 level and above, or 200 level with an explicitly stated college-level course prerequisite (transfer credits are subject to evaluation).
After reviewing and extensive discussion CAPP recommends to adopt the new graduation requirement to be 45 upper division credits instead of the 60 Non - Introductory credits. CAPP also defines the 45 upper division to be clearly stated as ―300 and 400 level course credits.‖ It further states that the ―UHM Undergraduate Catalog delete Non-Introductory credits and replace it with Upper division credits and define Upper division credits as 300 and 400 Level courses credits.

Sergio is willing to move down, hard to come up with a better challenger willing/able to fight at 154. You certainly don't need a belt to qualify. How do you see Sergio doing against the rest of the titleholders at 154: K9, Canelo, Zaurbek B?

You mentioned SM not holding a belt as a reason. Pac gave up his totally bogus 8th belt immediately, Marg convinced him to stick to his 7th division. Floyd's 5th divisional belt at 154 is more legit, he's a 2x champ there, currently ranked #1. It's not a stretch to assume this top champ is ready for any challenger at that weight.

Bushbaby the Novelist
What I find funny is how you go out of your way to discredit the fight before it happens acting like it's already past. That's boyish & nonsensical. Typical of those who support Floyd. A bunch of what-if's in a very real discussion. The only facts in this discussion are those I support. Floyd & Martinez are considered 2 of the top 5 fighters in boxing. Both have held titles at 154, 1 currently does. Martinez is willing to meet him there & settle who's better. The fight would actually be more of an advantage to Floyd considering it's Martinez giving up his size. The facts. You support opinion. (Well Martinez will be drained). Why?? Well because the gambler says so. Floyd will win easily. Why?? Because the gambler says so. I suggest you lose your righteous gettup son. Cause your opinion based opinion is weak & amateur. |

When driving home for the holidays, off-peak travel times are your friend. As with air travel, you need to figure out what everyone else will likely do and then do the opposite. These ideas have worked for me:
Finally, any car trip is going to be a long one. No matter where you're headed, it will almost certainly take you longer than it normally does. Plan for this. Bring plenty of videos, games and toys for small children. For older children and adults, here are some interesting ways to pass the time:

Pretend Play
We have a various number of pretend play toys to really get your child involved by using their imagination.
Some of our Favorite Imaginative Toys include:
- Action Figures
- Holiday and Religious Toys
- Play Kitchens
- Play Sets
- Puppets and Puppet Theaters
Action Figures
Action figures are great toys to help children develop their creative abilities and learn the art of pretending. We have a wonderful selection of action figures that include everything from prehistoric animals and Noah's ark and bugs in a box to Cinderella and from pasture pals to pirates. Our Cowboys and Indians or Medieval Times sets will even give children some insight into specific historical time periods. Each action figure is safe with no harmful parts.
Holiday and Religious Toys
Religious toys and holiday toys are very similar because religion is such a large part of many holidays. Children like to emulate adults and religious toys provide the child with a chance for emulation. Imaginative toys are fun because they allow the child to use the imagination in a realistic setting with family and friends.
Play Kitchens
Play kitchens are a fantastic way to allow your child to use their imagination. Play kitchens can run the gamut from basic to fully loaded. Some of the different models of child play kitchens include toy microwaves, refrigerators, dishwasher and ovens. These single unit models of play kitchens are sturdy and very ergonomic.
Play kitchens are a great way for your child to use their imagination and act like a grown-up. With play kitchens, however, your child may need some extra accessories to help them use their imagination to the fullest. We offer a nice selection of play food to help the child use their imagination. Assortments of play food feature everything from canned foods to meats to different desserts. Play food is essential when it comes to using play kitchens, but you may need some other accessories as well. Some kitchen accessories include pots and pans, a play cutting board and knife. Your child can prepare all kinds of play food the right way and learn about using a knife the safe and proper way before they take it to the real kitchen. Play kitchens make great gifts, but having the perfect accessories is just as important!
Our best selling play kitchen is the KidKraft Play Kitchen. This beautiful set comes complete with a refrigerator, freezer, oven, sink and microwave. This kid-sized favorite is sure to impress the young chefs in your life.
Play Sets
Play sets are a great way for the child to use his imagination. Play sets can let children imitate the careers and everyday activities of a grown-up. Play sets can enhance the imagination of your child, making their understanding of the "real world" a little more real to them.

the product itself was as it should be, shown and described. The movies: Parent Trap is an adorable family friendly movie! Parent Trap 2 is ok, just doesn't compare to the original
The original movie is just about as great as it gets for sappy chick flicks! Love them both, got them both!
GREAT service, movie in excellent condition. Received 10 days after I ordered it.
Really fast shipping as always! Loved this movie as a child and was thrilled to find it on Overstock!
I grew up on Haley Mills and wanted my grandchildren to see what innocence is and what real healthy movies are all about. To my pleasant surprise, the girls (8 years old) enjoyed it so much they watched it over and over again all day. I too enjoyed the pleasant healthy clean fun. Old Movies have their places still today even with the young generation.

What is in this article?:
- Sequestration and Medical Meetings
- Sequestration and CME Grants
- Trickle-Down Sequestration Effects
- Sequestration and Pharma Meetings
The automatic spending cuts demanded by the sequestration that kicked in March 1 go across the federal healthcare agencies. How will they affect continuing medical education and pharmaceutical meetings? Here are some possibilities.
Now that sequestration—a series of automatic federal program spending cuts that will total $1.2 trillion over the next nine years, $85 billion of which will happen by the end of fiscal 2013—is a reality, medical meeting professionals are left trying to tease out what potential effects it could have on their businesses.
Many travel and hospitality specialists expect that many meetings will be affected in some way, be they medical society conferences, pharmaceutical advisory board meetings, or events unrelated to healthcare. The American Hotel and Lodging Association predicts that federal agencies will put employee travel to conferences at the top of their cut list as they look for ways to reduce their budgets. Healthcare e-learning specialist Jeremy Lundberg, CEO, DLC Solutions and EthosCE LMS, says he already has heard from medical associations whose membership comprises a large percentage of federal employees who want his company's help to move from live meetings to e-learning CME because of travel bans. "They are having a big increase in registrant cancellations for spring meetings, which can be their primary source of annual revenue. Sequestration named as the primary driver."
John JD Juchniewicz, MCIS, CCMEP, president of the American Academy of CME, Inc., agrees. "Government travel is definitely being affected," he says. "So if you conduct live CE-certified events with federal [healthcare professional] attendees, you're likely seeing an impact."
Getting to events may also get a little more difficult and time-consuming for attendees who aren't experiencing a travel ban as the sequestration cuts go into effect. Because most federal agencies are required to provide a 30-day furlough notice for widespread staffing cutbacks, the full effects of some of the budget reductions that took effect on March 1 won't be felt until April. However, some airports are already experiencing longer lines at security checkpoints as the Transportation Security Administration reduces overtime for its staff, according to Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security, though airport officials disagree that it is affecting domestic travel already. The Federal Aviation Administration is planning to furlough many of its employees, which could cause flight delays and cancellations if airports have to shut down runways and cut shifts for their air traffic controllers, particularly at smaller and mid-sized airports.
Medical congresses with a high concentration of international attendees may also find their global guests facing longer wait times to get through customs and immigration. As Napolitano said recently, you can expect longer wait times at customs and immigration, as well as at Transportation Security Administration security checkpoints, as overtime, a hiring freeze, and furloughs go into effect at TSA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

I poured this into a standard 12-oz mug. The beer is very dark--completely opaque--with a small but lasting head of tan foam. The aroma is great--wonderful maltiness, with a light smokiness, and a sharp scent of chiles. Taste mirrors this. There's a good black patent malt flavor, but it doesn't dominate, and lets the smoky flavor come through well--a nice subtle smokiness I should add. The phenols are not overpowering. The chipotle taste is more apparent in the aroma than to taste, but there's still there if you look--especially at the finish. The body is a little thin and watery, the only downside to this beer. Otherwise, very drinkable.
