Officers of instruction are appointed formally by the Provost to provide full-time or part-time instruction at Barnard. The Academic Code holds information on the qualifications and conditions for the various academic titles and grades of office. They include:
Ladder ranks
Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, and Instructor;
Off-Ladder ranks
Visiting Professor, Visiting Associate Professor, and Visiting Assistant Professor;
Adjunct Professor, Adjunct Associate Professor, and Adjunct Assistant Professor;
Term Professor, Term Associate Professor, and Term Assistant Professor;
Professor of Professional Practice, Associate Professor of Professional Practice, and Assistant Professor of Professional Practice;
Associate, Senior Associate;
Lecturer, Senior Lecturer;
Special Lecturer;
Research Professor; and
Teaching Assistant.
Research Scientist and Research Scholar are non-salaried positions which carry neither teaching responsibilities nor other privileges associated with faculty appointment. They do provide the person with institutional identity for the purpose of conducting scholarly research, along with access to Barnard and Columbia libraries and computing services. Appointment to these titles must have the recommendation of the ATP.
After consulting the Academic Code, the Chair should confirm the appropriate academic title with the Provost. Once the details of a new faculty appointment have been confirmed with the Provost, and the candidate has accepted the position, the Chair submits an appointment form to the Manager of Academic Administration in the Provost's Office, so the appointment can be formally processed. Appointment forms for adjuncts, part-time faculty, TA's and graders must be submitted no later than September 10 for the fall semester and January 10 for the spring semester.
All full-time officers of instruction without tenure, with the exception of Professor, Associate Professor, Senior Associate, and Senior Lecturer, are usually appointed to initial terms of one year or less. The Chair must submit new appointment forms each year for reappointment of all part-time faculty and those full-time faculty in limited-term off-ladder ranks. New appointment forms do not have to be submitted annually for full-time continuing faculty or limited-term off-ladder faculty with multi-year appointments.
As noted in the Academic Code, recommendations on appointments, reappointments, promotions, and tenure must be made by a majority vote of the department's Professors and Associate Professors holding rank higher than that of the person being considered, except that Assistant Professors, Senior Associates, and Senior Lecturers may vote on non-tenure appointments to equal or lower rank. Recommendations about temporary appointments for one year or less which have to be made when the College is not in session are made by the Chair in consultation with the Provost.
Appointments, other than temporary and part-time appointments, are made only after public announcement of vacancies and the screening of applicants in accordance with the equal employment opportunity policies of the College and after appropriate consultation with the University according to the terms of the Intercorporate Agreement. (Adapted from Academic Code, Section V.B, p. 15)
Periodic reviews of faculty serve two purposes. First, a thorough review of a junior colleague's work offers an important opportunity to promote his or her development as a scholar and teacher. Through constructive, informative, and timely evaluations, senior faculty members can contribute significantly to the professional development of their colleagues. Second, periodic reviews are necessary for reappointment and departmental recommendations for tenure and/or promotion.
Each full-time faculty member submits annually a Faculty Personnel Form to the Chair and to the Provost. The Chair makes use of these forms, along with other data such as teaching evaluations, course syllabi, and scholarly work, to conduct an annual review and to make recommendations regarding reappointment and salary by May 15.
Comprehensive third-year reviews are mandated in the Academic Code (Section V) for Assistant Professors, Associates and Lecturers. See Appendices D and E for the "Procedures for the Third Year Review of Assistant Professors" and "Guidelines on Methods of Teaching Evaluation for Tenure."
Senior Off-Ladder Faculty include those appointed to, or promoted to, the titles of Senior Lecturer, Senior Associate, Associate Professor of Professional Practice and Professor of Professional Practice. Their appointments, promotions and subsequent reviews are governed by provisions in the Barnard College Code of Academic Freedom and Tenure. They serve as officers of instruction for their specialized expertise and superior competence in teaching, and are accorded full membership in the Faculty of Barnard College with its attendant duties, service obligations, and benefits.
Decisions on re-appointments of senior off-ladder faculty are based on establishment of a continuing department and College need for the specialized expertise and functions associated with the position, followed by a review evaluating the individual's performance with particular reference to the quality of teaching and service. Appendix I for the "Procedures for Review of Senior Off-Ladder Faculty (including the Professor of Practice Ranks)"
Internal Promotions: A full-time Associate or Lecturer is reviewed for promotion by the department no later than the seventh year of full-time service. (Academic Code, Section III) Tenured Associate Professors indicate when they wish to be considered for promotion to the rank of Professor, usually not until they have been in rank for at least five years. See Appendices H and G for "Schedule and Procedures for Recommending Internal Promotions to the ATP," "Internal Promotion Dossier Instructions," and "Format of Curriculum Vitae for Internal Promotion Process."

The responsibility resides with unscrupulous landlords who are knowingly renting to illegal businesses. I don't think realtors should be the only ones held accountable, they're hired agents for the landlord. That's who gets the rent check. It's ultimately their responsibility to know who their tenants are and what they do in their building.

First thing out of the small audience was examples of screwed up bills. Fred Pickle the rate payer advocate was there also. He had been beat on at a prior meeting.

What kind of beta testing they did I don't know. LADWP is scrambling to fix things.
I advised that when things settle down not to let go information technology people that support their new software. I had gone through a similar scenario in private industry where, even after things are moving along smoothly, problems do crop up because of the complexity of today's software.
Example: Obama Care.

While I agree that this should be considered as well as the water issue here in California and specifically Los Angeles City, the pros also need to be considered.

Maybe all fracking that takes place in Los Angeles must provide their own water and not take DWP water to perform their drilling process?

I find it difficult to fathom why, if something does NOT affect a severe asthma sufferer, our elected officials would vote to take away a valuable tool that hasn't proved to be offensive to others with severe breathing problems. "Getting out front" of something you don't know is harmful to others, is as ridiculous as supposing that anyone wearing Google glasses has impaired driving. Why not spend time on our water worries instead of preventing good people from once again being able to fraternize in places where REAL tobacco smoke can actually harm people? As Judge Judy would say: "Put on your listening ears, you morons!"

Since the "Internet" is unregulated or mildly regulated, there is no tax collection therefor losses for the government occur and Budgets turn upside down. The solution isn't really Ban Online Sales to collect tax, claiming "how else can we verify age". It's let's let the laws lead, by creating ways to verify age in this new world economy. Doesn't the Government & Private industry use Online Click Agreements to verify Age, DoB, et al on State Drivers License renewals? Federal Passports? Government Visa's issued?

The city is the one who fell down on the job -- it has had decades to locate these structures and help the owners retrofit them. Instead, the city gave $1.5 BILLION to a billionaire real estate developers for things like a $52 M parking garage next to Eli Broad's art museum. If the City is going to give away tax dollars, it should give it so that the money benefits the people who need help and NOT to multi-billionaires like Eli Broad.

MICHAEL ZITTERMAN February 20, 2014 at 05:41 am
DEFINITION: A number of persons joining together for some…Read More common purpose.
TYPES OF UNIONS: Private and public
FACTS: Private and public unions negotiate with employers to obtain specific goals for those persons being represented.
Subjects for negotiations include wages, benefits, and working conditions.
If negotiations result in additional costs to an employer:
a.A private employer will absorbed those costs or will pass some or all to the customers.
b.A public employer will have its "rainy-day" funds reduced or will raise additional revenue from its taxpayers.
a.If a private employer absorbs additional negotiated costs, margins will be affected, which will reduce taxable income, which will cause a reduction in the value of the employer's business. If the employer passes on the additional costs to its customers, it would be inflationary and the customers would have less spendable funds for other expenditures, which may adversely affect the economics. In most instances of higher costs, those costs will be passed on to the customers.
b.If a public employer raises additional revenue from its taxpayers, the taxpayers will have less spendable funds and that may adversely affect the economics.
c.When a politician, economist, or anyone else calls for high-paying union jobs, they are implying that there be a shift of wealth from customers to the high-paying union jobs.

Google isn't the only one developing a self-driving car. At the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Audi is showing off their autonomous vehicle technology and their vision for the future.
The technology for the car to drive itself is here now, but due to government regulatory issues and equipment availability, Audi says it'll be awhile before we can all relax and let the car do the driving. The carmaker is hesitant when pushed for a specific timeline, but it says we can expect self-driving cars (or Piloted Driving in Audi speak) within the next 10 years. When they do hit the road, Audi says they see their Piloted Driving as an optional feature for driving in traffic and parking (the least enjoyable times behind the wheel), but drivers could take over control when they want.
This is a slightly different approach than Toyota took at CES with its autonomous Lexus LS. Toyota presented the technology-laden luxury car as enhancing safety, rather than replacing the driver.
Audi takes it a step further to enable the car to literally drive itself. Just prior to the electronics show, Audi was issued a license to test autonomous vehicles in Nevada on public roads. (Google was the first company eight months ago to apply and receive the license, but Audi is the first automaker to obtain the permit.)
At CES, Audi is showcasing a wide array of electronics features, with the common thread being the ability to connect systems and sensors to create new functionality. This can be readily seen in the company's active cruise control, lane assist, blind-spot detection, park assist, and night vision technologies. Ultimately, these and other existing technologies enable a significant level of autonomy.
By enabling these technologies to work together, the bulk of what is needed to create the self-driving car is already here. Audi says that in addition to regulatory and liability issues, the biggest obstacles to implementing all of the technology now are the large antennas and trunkful of equipment necessary to make the whole thing work. But they're on the case. Welcome to the future.

People who float, bicycle or walk the length of the Mississippi River often have a personal cause to raise money for politics or an illness of some kind.
Last week, a small group of women with Native American Indian ancestry and others passed through Pike County, Ill. with a different message — the river itself.
The 1,200 mile Mississippi River Walk of indigenous women started March 1 at Lake Itasca, Minn. "the headwaters of the river," said walk leader Sharon Day. The walkers are averaging about 30 miles per day.
"We want world peace and one way to do that is to stop making war on the water," Day said while taking a breather just south of Pleasant Hill about halfway through the trek.

Wow, LLTF, I'm impressed! Nine LL packages in one year. Bravo! You're making me feel like small potatoes . In September, my wife and I enjoyed two nights at Columbia Cliff Villas in Hood River, OR (nothing wrong with the property, but it wasn't up to Luxury Link's usual impeccable standards). October took us to Italy, where we stayed at LL packages around 75% of our three week trip. We initially liked Abano Terme, a spa resort, but there really wasn't anything Italian about the resort nor the town, and we quickly tired of the place. Although Hotel Parma in Reggio Emilia was not fancy, it was well located and we enjoyed our stay there. We really liked the fact that the city is not at all touristy. I don't feel nearly as strongly as LLTF about this property. Bagni di Pisa, also a spa resort, was very nice and was a far better all around experience than Abano Terme. Our final LL package on the trip was the Park Hotel Villa Grazioli in Grottaferrata, outside Rome. Very nice accommodations in a remote location about half an hour by train and shuttle from Rome.
Although I don't have any Luxury Link packages on the radar for the near future, my 2013 travels are taking me to the Galapagos Islands in May and then, hopefully, back to a different South American location later in the year. Like others on this site, I would be very happy if LL were to offer more packages in this part of the world.

12-27-2012, 05:50 AMI ended up cobbling together 10 Luxury Link nights in Peru early this year. The organization of the trip took a bit of coordination with Jim Sanchez and some extra consideration by the Orient-Express properties, but the end results were fabulous.
I too have a keen interest in more travels to South America. Chile continues to be of interest. Argentina, at least the properties currently offered by Luxury Link, hold no interest. I prefer more remote and less traveled destinations.
So, we'll see how 2013 comes together.
Luxury Link is still my first stop for luxury travel potential.
mountie....I don't know how much more remote you would prefer a destination to be than El Calafate or Bariloche, Argentina. Both areas would not be construed as main stream to most travelers....even experienced luxury travelers.
I would like to see more possibilities in Chile as well.- Ω -
"Perspectives & Travel Experiences"
We enjoyed Bariloche and would highly recommend it. Did not see a lot of tourists.. Great for hiking and enjoying the lake!!
Mountie--My 36yr old nephew is back in Chile, on a motorcycle he bought from a Peace Corps worker there. He's zipping around Patagonia and camping wherever he can (or hostels). I'm sure he'll have some recommendations to cobble with some "remote" LL offerings. I'll send you a link to his site if you'd like. Could be a very interesting trip to combine styles.
I, too, would like to see more offers in Brazil, Argentina and Chile.Brazil this spring would be great, sicne we're going to Iguacu."wherever you go, there you are"

the most LL packages I did in one year was 4 (2012).
Would do more if we had more vacation time and if the airfares to some of our desired locations was not a killer!Roam if you want to, roam around the world...........
In 2012, we did 3 LL packages - Casa Palopo in Guatemala, Teton Village in WY and the Montana Sky Lodge. I would do quite a few more in the future, if I could talk my husband into more travel. Or I may start to do some on my own!
Life is too short.........travel now!

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. -- "You saved an extraordinary number of lives in communities far away from your own. You know what, because of you, New Yorkers right now who have loved ones alive, might not be alive if you have not gone down there. Let's have a round of applause," Senator Charles Schumer said.
Schumer recognized three Capital District fire departments who responded to victims on Long Island during Superstorm Sandy. The senator presented a flag to each fire chief from East Greenbush, Melrose and Poestenkill in appreciation for their service. The flags were recently flown over the U.S. Capitol.
The crews worked around the clock, going above and beyond the call of duty.

Just getting the placeholder in place. Maybe start filling this thread by late December - give him about a month, maybe a month-and-a-half on the job? `
The existence of this thread with a month and a half grace period proves once and for all that the Krafts will never underestimate the gullibility of Revs fans. They will eat any old shit, and after complaining to start they will by April believe it was just the chef's off night and that if it is awful all the way to the end, that surely he can't be that bad, it was just a hard year. Rationalization isn't just a river in Egypt.
^ had me scratching at my screen trying to get it off. Anyway, time will tell. Although it seems like all time when it comes to the Revs organization is wasted.
That's it, that's the point. It's not about how good or bad Jay will do at the reins, it's about how bad an FO/Ownership Group we have that they can't find us anyone with better credentials than the color guy on CSN
What also sticks in my mind is what Landycakes said after last night's game, that their F.O. will give them the resources necessary to win championships. As he said that, my heart sank again, knowing the owner's attitude we deal with here. It's just the antithesis of what is the league ideal.
Why would either of you wonder that? There's a patriots game tonight, I guarantee you that in the entire KSG world, there was not a single television turned to the MLS cup, instead the staff was watching the Dolphins beat the Bills. In fact, how many people do you think were watching the Dolphins/Bills game? Probably damn near the whole staff. We are the bastard redheaded stepchild in this entire scenario.
I infact did, do you even think that any of the Krafts were remotely aware of MLS cup taking place? I think not, and if they did know, they certainly didn't care. In the words of Stewie "No Tommy Brady, no Stewie likey!"
Are you joking..! Kraft watches the national pop warner championships on the internet before he watches a Revs game..!
It makes for more entertaining television. You think Kraft sends more scouts to the local Pop Warner teams than he does revolution prospects?
I think that, to be a bust, you have to have lofty expectations that you fail to meet. A top draft pick can be a bust, but a late-round pick really can't. So... No.
You don't need lofty expectations, just expectations that you fail to meet. And given the tremendously low expectations we have from our new gaffer, here's hoping to Christ that he isn't a bust.
Two observations: We've collectively set the bar so low, will we have anything to complain about if Heaps gets us even halfway back to our 2007-era performance? Judging from his comments, the person who seems to have the highest expectations of Heaps is Heaps himself. Positive sign, or delusions of grandeur?
Positive sign. Heaps knows that all eyes are on him and that a lot of people are very skeptical that he can pull it off. He knows that on-paper he doesn't appear qualified and he doesn't pretend otherwise. He's honest about his situation and isn't trying to fool anyone. Yet he is confident and excited because he thinks he can be a good coach. He loves the team and wants to make it great. He strikes me as the kind of guy that can do this even when many people think he'll fail. Having someone in this organization that doesn't try to fool the fans will be refreshing. I'm willing to give him a chance. Pass the Kool-Aid.
I believe Jay Heaps should start his coaching/managerial carreer as a bust! Any person thinking that this is the organization that they want to begin as a coach, knowing it's stellar track record, should def begin as a BUST! And from the scapegoating of Nicol, the promotions of the two B's, the complete Apathy & disinterest by Kraft and the complete and UTTER complacency of the Revs fan base...Jay's mentors and father figures whoever they are should have DOPE Slapped him upside his head... Already a Bust...
Jay Heaps is on Extratime Radio. http://www.mlssoccer.com/extratime Just turning it on now, so don't know what's said yet.
Well Jay just announced that there is no contingency plan for if Joseph doesn't return next year Jay has identified 5-6 players as the core team and wants to build the team around them. Is Caraglio not part of that core looking at the protect list?
Meet the New Revs, same as the Old Revs. Repeat after me: There is no contingency plan for if Twellman doesn't return next year There is no contingency plan for if Janko isn't healthy enough to play the full season There is no contingency plan for if Dabo isn't healthy enough to play the full season There is no contingency plan for if Domi isn't healthy enough to play the full season There is no contingency plan for if "that guy from Turkey" doesn't sign with us Oh yeah, way to weaken your negotiating position, Jay. Pretty much everyone agrees that Joseph is in decline, and while he would be a good player to have around, we can't afford to overpay him, since that would leave a lot less money for all these great new signings Burns has lined up as part of his new role, now that he is freed from the shackles of Groundskeeper Wullie... By publicly saying that 1) Signing Joseph is a "priority" and 2) admitting that you've got no plan B if that doesn't happen is a clear message to Shalrie and his agent to hold the Revs feet to the fire for as much as they can get. Can't blame them, but it isn't too smart for the Revs to tip their hand. Did he mention any names? My "core" would be Benny, Joseph, Reis, Zerka, Caraglio, Soares, and Fagundez for the future moreso than now.

I'm not one who usually goes for lighter beers but I really enjoyed this one. A simple style that was elegantly executed. It pours a light but hazy yellow with a nice white head. The smell is full of citrus and Belgian wheat. The taste is light with a bunch of citrus flavors like lemon, orange peel, and a hint of banana that add to the wheat flavor and give it a nice crisp finish. The mouthfeel is the only problem for me as it was a little too light for the winter but I can see this being a staple of the summer. Very much enjoyed and would definitely recommend to any blue moon fans looking to step it up.

A- pours a hazy lemon with a 2 finger white head. Solid retention and outstanding lacing. The true look of a Wit.
S- Clove, coriander, orange peel and lemon zest.
T- Probably not best suited for the time of year when there is 6 inches on the ground, but still solid none the less. Doesn't bombard you with coriander, but rather a more fruit forward wit. Orange and lemon. Very smooth.
M- easy drinking, clean start, slightly creamy.
O- Nothing really blows me away, but an example that is true to the style.

Sampled tonight on 2/28/14. 330ml (11.2 oz.) bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooler and poured into a pint glass.
Pours a hazy golden 'lemon' in color with a 2-finger white fizzy head that stays around for a while. Some spotty lacing is seen with each sip. The aroma is of wheat, grains, lemon with orange peel and spice. The taste is about the same with the mix of orange and lemon coming through first with some spice at the end. Semi-sweet with perfect carbonation. Actually not a bad 'white ale' that doesn't have a harsh or bitter aftertaste.

By far, my favorite beer. I keep it on tap at home and enjoy it year round. A perfect summer wit bier that still refreshes in the cold winter months. I have had the pleasure of visiting the brewery in Hoegaarden, Belgium twice. If only I could get the american bartenders to pronounce the name correctly. They insisit on Hoe instead of Hoo. Nevertheless, this Belgian wheat has set the standard for all the american rip-offs like Blue Moon.

RINGGOLD, Ga. - According to Fox News.com, a north Georgia man who handcuffed himself to a female Taco Bell co-worker has been sentenced to serve four years in prison.
The Rome News-Tribune reports that 25-year-old Jason Earl Dean of Dalton handcuffed himself to the 18-year-old woman in August 2011 in an attempt to convince her to go on a date with him.
Dean waited until the end of her shift and handcuffed himself to her wrist, the Times Free Press reported. This was after Dean made attempts to go out with the woman for several weeks and the restaurant changed her shift so she could avoid him, the paper reported.
Lookout Mountain Assistant District Attorney Alan Norton says a Catoosa County Superior Court judge sentence Dean to four years in prison followed by six years on probation.
Norton says Dean is also not allowed to have any contact with the victim or her family.

Object Class
Supports all classes in the .NET Framework class hierarchy and provides low-level services to derived classes. This is the ultimate base class of all classes in the .NET Framework; it is the root of the type hierarchy.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The Object type exposes the following members.
Name | Description | |
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. | |
Equals(Object, Object) | Determines whether the specified object instances are considered equal. | |
Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. | |
GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. | |
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. | |
MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. | |
ReferenceEquals | Determines whether the specified Object instances are the same instance. | |
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. |
Languages typically do not require a class to declare inheritance from Object because the inheritance is implicit.
Because all classes in the .NET Framework are derived from Object, every method defined in the Object class is available in all objects in the system. Derived classes can and do override some of these methods, including:
Equals - Supports comparisons between objects.
Finalize - Performs cleanup operations before an object is automatically reclaimed.
GetHashCode - Generates a number corresponding to the value of the object to support the use of a hash table.
ToString - Manufactures a human-readable text string that describes an instance of the class.
Performance Considerations
If you are designing a class, such as a collection, that must handle any type of object, you can create class members that accept instances of the Object class. However, the process of boxing and unboxing a type carries a performance cost. If you know your new class will frequently handle certain value types you can use one of two tactics to minimize the cost of boxing.
Create a general method that accepts an Object type, and a set of type-specific method overloads that accept each value type you expect your class to frequently handle. If a type-specific method exists that accepts the calling parameter type, no boxing occurs and the type-specific method is invoked. If there is no method argument that matches the calling parameter type, the parameter is boxed and the general method is invoked.
Design your type and its members to use generics. The common language runtime creates a closed generic type when you create an instance of your class and specify a generic type argument. The generic method is type-specific and can be invoked without boxing the calling parameter.
Although it is sometimes necessary to develop general purpose classes that accept and return Object types, you can improve performance by also providing a type-specific class to handle a frequently used type. For example, providing a class that is specific to setting and getting Boolean values eliminates the cost of boxing and unboxing Boolean values.
Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

Save on energy bills while effectively cooling your space with the Sunpentown WA-8011S Window Air Conditioner. This eco-friendly air conditioner uses R-410A refrigerant and it boasts a high EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio). The Sunpentown WA-8011S is equipped with a window installation kit and a cooling capacity of 8,000 BTUs for efficient cooling in rooms sized up to 325 square feet. This Sunpentown window air conditioner features numerous operating modes and several safety and maintenance features.
With an EER rating of 10.8, this efficient window air conditioner uses less electricity to cool your home, resulting in significant savings on your yearly cooling costs. Additionally, this air conditioner is equipped with an energy saver feature.
The convenient energy saver function is great for days when you plan to be away from home for an extended period of time. While there's no need to waste your AC's powerful cooling on an empty house, you also don't want to come home to a stuffy room. In energy saver mode, the cooling system operates efficiently to maintain your pre-set temperature and the compressor runs only when the room temperature exceeds that setting. Every 10 minutes, the fan cycles on for two minutes for energy-efficient cooling.
With various functions that you can program with the remote control, this multi-purpose air conditioner allows you to experience a comfortable indoor environment no matter the weather forecast. The Sunpentown WA-8011S Window Air Conditioner is equipped with the following operating modes:
Fan – Chilly climates outside mean cooler temperatures inside. When the outdoor temperature drops, give your AC a break by switching to fan mode. Fan-only operation helps you avoid indoor stuffiness by providing a continuous flow of fresh air ventilation. The Sunpentown WA-8011S Air Conditioner features four fan speed settings: high, medium, low, and auto.
Cool – Cool mode, the main function of this window air conditioner, forces heat out of your space and replaces it with a direct stream of fresh, cool air. Every minute the Sunpentown WA-8011S pulls in 380 cubic feet of hot air and exhausts it outside through the air grille. In cool mode, this room air conditioner lowers your indoor temperature to as low as 62 degrees Fahrenheit with a cooling capacity of 8,000 BTUs.
Dry – Warm, moist indoor air can make your space feel hot and clammy, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable room temperature. In dry mode, this air conditioner acts as a dehumidifier, extracting moisture from the air as it cools your home. This function not only gives you fast relief from indoor humidity, but it also saves electricity, as the air conditioner does not have to work as hard to cool your space. The Sunpentown WA-8011S window AC removes 1.7 pints of moisture per hour in dry mode.
Auto – For true set-it-and-forget-it operation, program your Sunpentown AC for auto mode. When set in auto mode, the Sunpentown WA-8011S automatically maintains your ideal temperature. If no settings have been programmed, the air conditioner will monitor the room temperature and initiate the fan cycle or start the cooling process when necessary. This window air conditioner operates in a temperature range between 62 degrees Fahrenheit and 86 degrees Fahrenheit in auto mode.
The Sunpentown WA-8011S Air Conditioner was designed to mount in windows with a minimum opening width of 23 inches and a maximum opening width of 36 inches. This window AC can also be installed in vertical windows that have an opening width of at least 14 inches. The fully equipped window kit provides all the essentials for secure installation. In addition to a top rail kit and a mounting hardware set, the installation kit includes two accordion panels and a window sash seal— all you'll need is a screwdriver.

And The Mother Of Year Award Goes To...
January 6, 2012
This morning my high school best friend who lives in my building texted me: "Um, I pretty much dressed the baby in the elevator, today." She was looking for me to make her feel less guilty about rushing around to get out of the door, the baby to day care and herself to work. No prob. I texted back. This is my life.
"No worries. I'm wearing Converse sneakers to the office today and JD ate mini muffins on the way to school because I kept hitting the snooze button. I'm also 97% confidant he's wearing a PJ shirt with Adidas pants. He wanted to wear his 'green robot shirt.' I let him!"
Working and motherhood is doable but, I admit hard sometimes. After you factor in the guilt of leaving your child at preschool from 7:15 AM to 6 PM (I do), you have to contend with laundry, bookkeeping, chores—my house looks like someone broke into a toy store and was searching for something FBI warrant style! There are also pine needles everywhere from the dead, crunchy tree in my living room. Must.Remove.This.Weekend.
Then mid-day my Dad calls to tell me he thinks JD is sad about his "Dad." KillJoy! "I found him to be thinking and in deep thought yesterday when I was watching him. He was thinking about him, Christine." My Dad broke this awesome assumption to me while I was neck deep in clothes I was packing for a photo shoot I'm styling on Monday in NYC. "Maybe he is sad Dad. But being sad is apart of life. So is being happy. I'm at work. Byeee!" My son is fine and he was probably thinking about me and why he saw me for forty minutes this whole week. Or let's get real, Disney Aulani, Philly or his dog. And if JD is thinking about this guy, this D.A.D—then I hope he's thinking about his son in NJ. All the time.
To end a day that started with PJ shirt daywear (ah, so chic—bananas!), a crappy Dad revelation from my Dad, I served...frozen pizza and frozen mixed veggies to JD for dinner with delish, wholesome milk. He loved it!
I may not be Mother of the Year—but I'm we're surviving thriving. I accomplished my goals at my freelance job today. I picked up JD when the sky was still pink—not black (this is epic!!!). We ate, played and danced. And my kid is currently asleep. Tomorrow, we're hitting the Jersey Shore. Love the beach in winter. It's magical. Live and love the life you lead. Have a little faith in me...
Share a crazy mom story to make my friend and me feel better about today PLEASE. XO
Friend me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter @JDSMOM2007, order a copy of my single mom memoir, Rattled! (Rattled! is also on iTunes for download) and check out ChristineCoppa.net
*Full disclosure: Disney Aulani is a press trip.

MISSION STATEMENT (back to top) FESTIVUS is the film fest for the rest of us. Our goal is to support and encourage awesomely badass, truly independent film. Festivus isn't for the deep-pocketed Hollywood type. We're here for the guy that pawned his car to make a film. That's what independent cinema is about. That's what FESTIVUS is all about. Festivus is for you, the truly independent filmmaker. TO THE FILMMAKER (back to top) Be a part of FESTIVUS, the Film Fest for the REST OF US! We don't care who your publicist is or what awards you've won. It doesn't matter. If you've got a great film then we want to see it! Festivus recognizes that filmmakers are the MOST IMPORTANT part of this business. We're not Sundance and we never will be. We don't want to be. Too many film festivals do all they can to attract D-list celebrities and fancy-pants foreign filmmakers that nobody has ever heard of. Then they brag about it. If you're trying to sign Kirstie Alley for your next picture then this isn't the festival for you. If you've sold plasma to help fund your next film, then you'll fit right in at Festivus. No red carpet, no celebrities, no fluff. Just real INDIE flicks for real INDIE fans.OUR PROMISES TO YOU, THE FILMMAKER
TESTIMONIALS Festivus was an amazing experience from the moment I got accepted via email until the end. They picked me up at the airport and gave my local friends passes and were available to drive us wherever we needed to go .
everything was so organized.
truly impressed.
and... I won for Best Narrative short so I cant complain.
I will definately recommend to my friends and will be submitting my next one for sure!!! Our film "Railed" also screened at this year's Festivus Film Festival... and we couldn't be any more proud to be a part of the Festivus Family. Like stated many times above, first and foremost they treat the filmmakers like gods!! This is something I truely hope they carry on in the following years when they are the 500 pound gorilla of the festival circuit. Festivus was a blast.. We enjoyed everything about it... If you're looking to submit to any festivals next year and are reading this.. we STRONGLY recommend this festival. It's worth the submission fee!! Thanks again to all the staff and crew of Festivus and making it such a great experience for us. We couldn't have had a better time at Festivus 08. I can say that everything the festival was building up to be, was that, and even more. The Festivus crew kept the weekend flowing through screenings, filmmaker events (yes we played paintball! Sorry about those welts Tim, but war is war.) and after parties. Audience attendance was great. They had clearly done their part in notifying the community about the event from the various media presence and folks walking around with weekend passes. So to everyone who was there I say it was great to meet you, for everyone who had their film in the lineup I say congratulations and for anyone thinking about submitting next year do it, and go if you get in! First off, the reason we entered this festival was its mission statement. There goal is to support and encourage �??awesomely badass, truly independent films�?�the guy that pawned his car to make a film.�?? After meeting most of the filmmakers and watching their films, this festival totally surpassed its goal. Great films, with great stories behind the making. It was AMAZING!!! I have been to 8th and 9th year festivals that haven�??t got it as together as this festival. My advice to everyone: NEXT YEAR, ENTER! And if you are lucky enough to get in, GO! Well, I have to say that FESTIVUS launched with all the fan fare that was promised! We too, had a really fabulous time. It was so great to meet so many filmmakers, and to finally spend some time with some of my WAB buddies in person. You all more than lived up to my expectations! We loved The Curtis Hotel. It was "trendy", retro-hip and very comfortable! I don't think they could have made a better choice for a host hotel. The Festivus staff was cheerful, helpful, and genuinely interested in making sure we felt welcome and appreciated. Me and Greg Lobb from Life with Fiona were also blown away by pretty much everything about the inaugural Festivus FF, and we look forward to them being around a long time and getting to say we were in the first one! They put many much more established ones to shame, and part of the reason is that they not only ARE filmmakers themselves but that they actively solicited and considered advice from their peers - the best way to learn your way around quickly, if you get lucky. Just wanted to chime in and say the guys at Festivus did an amazing job. It was a fun festival, and the programming was top notch. Congrats to all the filmmakers and event staff. If only all festivals could be run this well. Thanks to Johnathan and Tim for the hospitality and letting me screen "The Dead Beat." I'm looking forward to next years fest. A belated quick thank you for a great weekend of film. You should be very proud of yourselves for staging such an interesting event, and for laying a very solid foundation for years to come. The selection of films was bold, brave and innovative. The festival is truly independent in sprit, and freshly devoid of the sycophantic star-worship of so many so called 'indie' and 'international' film festivals. I saw some great films, met with some great people - other filmmakers and audience members alike, and made some great contacts and friends. The most important achievement was creating a positive, nurturing and celebratory environment for emerging film makers, and gifting audiences the chance to experience films they may otherwise not get to see. I, as were all the film makers who attended, was looked after in ways so thoughtful and so far above any expectations, and treated with respect and encouragement. I would recommend any film maker, no matter how experienced/inexperienced, working at whatever level, to submit their film to Festivus. Gentlemen, |

I guess that one was for me? Well, if you are in a silent part, and want to adjust the level up, without waking the entire neighborhood when the movie comes to a loud passage. Also, with the adjustment being so slow, I never got the feeling on how much I had raised the volume.
I have now returned my 3800, as I did not want to cause extra trouble where I bought it.

HA! Glad I spurred you on mate! Rest assured that I was exactly the same after 7x100kg, the last rep was an absolute killer, I didn't have anything left.
Great idea on the back squats idea, I'm sure my legs could take it and to be honest I'd prefer to be doing 5 days a week. Will give it a go. Honestly think with I'm going to be able to finally pump out some decent back squat weight, looking forward to it!

While you're on the subject of Daredevil, have you guys seen this? http://screenrant.com/daredevil-rebo...-sandy-167969/
Well today is a disappointing day for me. The Knightfall New Edition TPB finally came out and it uses that crappy newspaper real type paper. Out of all the omnibus being released getting a complete collection of Knightfall was the thing I was most looking forward to. Then DC pulls that crap of using the cheap crappy paper. Using that paper was the only thing that was going to stop me from buying this release and that is exactly what happened.
Im glad Marvel GETS IT in terms of using quality paper that is more than capable of looking good.
I often question Marvel for the amount of content and what they charge in an omnibus, but I NEVER have to be concerned about the actual quality of paper in their hardcovers.
Sorry for the rant, but sometimes you are so pissed you just have to share it.
Before people scream "off topic" sometimes you have to see things being done the WRONG way before you can appreciate those who do it the right way.
Thank you Marvel for using high quality paper in your omnibus and comics in general.

That could be what Marvel is doing and if so I'll be disturbed to say the least. The only necessary material for the HC is the USM issues (320 pages) and around 64 pages of relevant material from Fallout and UAvNU. The pagecount for the omnibus means the USM issues, the entirety of UAvNU (which is stupid to include) and the entirety of Fallout (add up the pagecounts of all the trades and you'll get 600). Please Marvel, don't do this, its stupid.
I was surprised at the paper quality as well. The new volume is essentially a reprint of the two old Knightfall TPB's, plus Batman 491 + the Vengeance of Bane one-shot. Including the crappy newsprint-ish paper.
I don't mind, honestly. It's how the issues were originally published. Except for maybe the Shadow of the Bat tie-in issues...which as I recall were originally printed on glossier/upgraded paper. I can't be 100% since I haven't read the original issues since they were first published nearly 20 years ago.
Either way, it was a perfect opportunity to upgrade the quality of these stories and DC struck out again.
DC has a habit of striking out when it comes to their collected editions. I'm holding out hope that someday they'll get it right and we'll get Knightfall in some sort of OSHC format, as well as No Man's Land and other Batman stories.
The Ultimate Death of Spider-man Omnibus sounds ok to me. I have the first 11 (soon to be 12) OSHC's and finishing them off with DoSM would be fine.
So Friday is going to be a big Marvel event day for me.
Just got the email from Amazon that my ASM vol.2 omnibus should arrive Friday..just before I rush out to see The Avengers!!
"Freedom is the Right of ALL Sentient Beings" - Optimus Prime
Sucks dude. I remember getting the Superman: Our Worlds At War Omnibus TPB for like $5 on Amazon. The size of a Marvel Essential TPB, it included all 20 issues/tie-ins and made for good airport material. And then I realized why it was a $5 book, lol. The problem was... my hands were like turning black from flipping through it. I HATE that paper.
So yeah, in an age where we bash Marvel, at least they hook us up with some great paper. Even the Age of Apocalypse Prelude TPB which gets heat for crappy paper was still better than that.
This will be a good week for me comics-wise. Kree/Skrull wars comes tomorrow, X-Sanction will be here today and the original Rocket Racoon mini is a bargain book on Amazon so it will be here Thursday.
I like how quickly X-Sanction and AvX are being released and put in collected format.
That's what I think they're doing (I should have better explained what I meant by connected issues). If it's the Death of Spider-Man Omnibus, then they really do have to include all the issues that were branded and marketed as part of that event. No matter how tangentially it connects to it (yes UAvsNU, I'm looking at you...). Which is a little bit of a kick in the teeth for people who just bought the Miller Ultimate Avengers Omnibus.
All that said, it is still just conjecture at this point. It'll probably be included in the solicits later this month, so we'll know for sure then.
My comic collection. Go on, have a look. You know you want to .
My wife keeps telling me how these superhero movies are getting tiresome, and how she is "over" the genre, but she still goes with me, and she'll even admit she enjoys them, just not as much as I do. This next week or so is gonna be really hard for me, as I don't plan on seeing the movie for a few weeks due to schedules. I've already seen two things spoiled for me (arghhh!!) and as such, I think I might end up ignoring this entire board (except for maybe this thread) until I see the movie, so I don't get anything else spoiled accidentally. Excited for all of you seeing it Thurs/Fri though.

Luke Warm, came to me in what I call, Riddle poetry. It's an example of how Chrisians today pretend to be on fire for God, yet their works are cold, thus producing a Luke Warm life. We are not against God,(cold), but we are not for him either,(hot). Our lives as Christians need to be 'On Fire' for God. Not in words only, but in deeds, (James 1:22-25 & 2: 20-26). We need to turn up the furnace and get Hot for Jesus Christ!!
