From Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation
←Older revision | Newer revision→
Occasionally domiciles are built on help beams, leaving an empty space between the bottom ground and the ground. This open area within the home is named a crawl space. Generally homeowners such as for example you may leave the crawl space available, letting it breathe. But actually you need to think critically about crawl-space waterproofing.

 The advantages to your residence are numerous. These outlines a few ways CS repair can help your home:? It helps maintain an appropriate indoor climate- What's worse than a house with air that feels like you could cut it with a knife? You know that sticky air that's so full of moisture that you could practically take a drink of it and just open the mouth area. Talk about not enough comfort. You just can not relax with this type of weak interior environment. Well, one easy means of avoiding this water problem would be to have a crawl-space vapor hurdle installed. By doing so you'll appreciate decreased moisture levels in your home. ?? It allows you to inhale higher quality air- Breathing when you are outside camping the fresh outside air is fantastic, nevertheless when you are as part of your house you need climate control.

 If you neglect to generate an expert for crawl space waterproofing, then you are inhaling air that originates from under your house. That may not seem like such a poor thing, except that if the atmosphere rests under your house, it becomes damp and filled up with all sorts of allergens. That air then gets pushed up into your house for you really to breathe. Therefore instead of 'new outdoor air,' you get musty, dirty air. And your lungs will hate you for this. ?? It staves off mildew- An open crawl-space is a CS [hhttp://www.youtube.com/user/DallasRoofingPros roof repair dallas tx]. And as you may imagine, a wet crawl space breeds a homeowner's worst enemy-mildew.

 Once mold begins rising under your property, you're in several trouble. It becomes airborne and finds its way in the remaining portion of the home. By receiving CS restoration, you are able to put a finish to the form before it gets out of control. Or even better, you can stop it from ever happening. ?? It raises the resale value of your home- It makes all the sense in the entire world. Picture this. A prospective home buyer looks at two identical houses in Michigan or Indiana that have crawl spaces.

 One is cheaper, but has a CS that's fallen into disrepair. The other is really a little more pricey, yet it has a completely encapsulated CS. Possibly it actually features a moisture control system installed. Which property will be the prospective buyer going to become more likely to buy? Demonstrably the one which had the sensible owner with the dry, clear crawl space.So if your home includes a CS, call a professional water-proofing builder and talk to them about installing a crawl room vapor barrier in your home. It's a smart decision to get a smart homeowner.

I write about food, travel and culture for many different publications, and wanted a place to gather my work together in one spot. And so here, you'll find many of my articles and recipes, and also a blog, in which I explore my attempt to make entertaining a more regular part of my life; an effort to gather people together in the real world, not just the virtual one, despite the obstacles of parenthood, laziness, and the hibernation-inducing effect of rainy Pacific Northwest winters. As I keep reminding myself, it's important not just to celebrate what's on the table, but who's sitting around it. Read More…

Buffy: after Oz leaves and Before Tara comes along
Stargate: Start of Season 9 but Janet didn't die, Cassie is 19 and a half- Willow is 18 and three-quarters.
Willow doesn't stay in Sunnydale after Oz leaves, especially when her friends are almost blind to her pain, she transfers to a better University in Colorado Springs and ends up having Cassandra Fraiser as a room-mate.
they take an instant liking to each other.
Cassie is a year older than Willow- but they're in the same year because Willow is exceptionally bright and skips a year into the middle of the Second year of University.
Pairings: Willow/Cassie
Must have:
Cassie and Willow finding out about each other.
Cassie and Willow becoming a team and fighting demons and vampires together
Cassie helping Willow through Oz's departure
Willow receiving much-needed help from a white-coven to help her control her magic and tap into her massive untapped power.
Willow going back to Sunnydale for a short while to help the Scoobies get rid of the Initiative and Adam- she takes Cassie with her, who is already her girlfriend.
the gang being a bit wiggy over their relationship but getting over it like they did in the show.
Willow and Cassie going back afterwards to Colorado and they stay in touch with the Scoobies.
Oz coming back much later and following the girls to Colorado and the exact thing happens between Willow, Cassie and Oz as it did on the show between Willow, Tara and Oz.
the NID eventually finding out about Willow's part in the Initiative and trying to experiment on her (this happens after SG1 knows about her and Cassie).
Cassie (and mini!jack if he's in the story) is livid when Willow gets taken.
Must not have:
SG1 finding out about the Supernatural until after they know about Willow and Cassie's relationship.
Mini!Jack also helps fight demons and vampires with Cassie and Willow and also helps them with the Initiative and they become the new team of demon-hunters like Willow, Buffy and Xander were in High School.

This time of year, surprises should arrive tied with a bow or layered in a tin with other similarly delectable items. As for the other kind of eye-opener (say, the dawning realization that the updated flower bed shape doesn't fit our Christmas lights like the old one), those can be difficult to appreciate.My mood began trending upward, however, when the workaround proved to look okay. All was calm and bright until our neighbor strolled over, observing that he and his wife had been discussing the new landscaping and were "worried" about it. These are fantastic neighbors, the kind whose opinion matters. My spirits already threatened to sag before he finished, "...because it looks like you're staging your house to sell."We're not; as I explained, but we did need to vanquish the encroaching mess of shrubbery that we'd dubbed The Fortress of Green. As it turns out, there are worse things than being advised that one's departure from the neighborhood would be regrettable.Here's the moral of that story: Moods can turn on a dime. So don't wait until you're feeling the holiday spirit to embark upon seasonal tasks. Give yourself permission to grumble as you drag boxes down from the attic or pout as you untangle strings of lights. By the time good cheer inhabits your soul, you'll celebrate it even more in a festive setting.Better yet, tune into music guaranteed to energize, inspire, or instantly improve your day. In search of a can't-miss slate of tunes for just this purpose, I asked around for "absolute favorite tunes, holiday or not, that you'd recommend for a day-brightening mix." And, thanks to library staffers Kate, Theresa, Linda C, Elaine T, Eric, Mary, Candy, Chris, Chip, Joe, Pat M, David, and our friend Shannon from the City's Communication Division, we're offering this lineup almost certain to include some of your favorites. We call it The Round Rock Public Library Holiday/Everyday Playlist "What a Wonderful World" sung by Willie Nelson"Linus and Lucy" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio"Skating" by the Vince Guaraldi TrioHandel's Messiah - "Hallelujah Chorus""Stormy Monday" by The Allman Brothers Band"River" by Joni Mitchell"Messages" by Xavier Rudd"Christmas Don't Be Late" by Alvin and the Chipmunks"I Was Made For Sunny Days" by The Weepies"Simple Gifts" by Yo-Yo Ma and Alison Krauss "St. Thomas" by Sonny Rollins"The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Charlie Daniels Band "What A Wonderful World" sung by Louis Armstrong"Where were You When the World Stopped Turning" by Alan Jackson"The Lord's Prayer" sung by Andy Williams"Christmas Time is Here" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio"Sleigh Ride" (instrumental) by Leroy Anderson"Java" by Al Hirt

All honorariums must be received by February 13, 2014 to ensure inclusion on the race t-shirt. We will still accept honorariums after February 13, 2014 and recognize them at the awards ceremony and on this website but we cannot guarantee their placement on the race t-shirt after that date.

There's new cause for companies to be worried about their network safety, user privileges and laissez-faire BYOD policies. At the Chaos Communications conference December 29, it was revealed that Cisco phones are vulnerable to eavesdropping hacks.
The vulnerability was discovered by doctoral candidate Ang Cui and Professor Sal Stolfo of Columbia University while they were working on a grant from the U.S. Defense Department.
Professor Stolfo warned, "On the dark side, these phones are sold worldwide. Any government that would like to peer into the private lives of citizens could use this."
He called it a "great opportunity to create a low-cost surveillance system that is already deployed."
Cui demonstrated the hack for NBC News, revealing that in a matter of seconds, a small device pre-loaded with software could be plugged into a port on the phone and rewrite its IP software. This vulnerability exists because the phones make routine connections with a central server looking for updated instructions.
According to Bob Sullivan of NBC News, Cisco listed 15 phone models impacted by the threat in an announcement sent to their customers in December. Despite the implications of this announcement, Cisco maintains that, with only a few exceptions, hackers would need physical access to a telephone in order to execute the attack.
The team at Columbia says that these "rare" exceptions are not as innocuous as Cisco might have consumers believe; an e-mail attachment with a virus could easily execute the attack.
Cui said, "You could attack the network, and then attack a single person's phone – say, the CEO, at home."
This potential threat is a great reminder for all companies, not just those using the popular phone system, to keep their employees apprised of online safety. Companies should evaluate their user privileges, host regular employee training on network safety, and consider revising their BYOD policies to ensure that they are safe from outside attacks.

This document contains information about a future release and not the current stable version (3.1).
Be aware that information on this page may change and API's may not be stable for production use.
Shortcodes: Flexible Content Embedding
ShortcodeParser API is simple parser that allows you to map specifically
formatted content to a callback to transform them into something else.
You might know this concept from forum software which don't allow you to insert
direct HTML, instead resorting to a custom syntax.
In the CMS, authors often want to insert content elements which go beyond standard formatting, at an arbitrary position in their WYSIWYG editor. Shortcodes are a semi-technical solution for this. A good example would be embedding a 3D file viewer or a Google Map at a certain location.
Here's some syntax variations:
[my_shortcode][my_shortcode /][my_shortcode,myparameter="value"][my_shortcode,myparameter="value"]Enclosed Content[/my_shortcode]
In its most basic form, you can invoke the
ShortcodeParser directly:
In addition, shortcodes are automatically parsed on any database field which is declared
HTMLValue or
HTMLText, when rendered into a template.
This means you can use shortcodes on common fields like
and any other
DataObject::$db definitions of these types.
In order to allow shortcodes in your own template placeholders, ensure they're casted correctly:
class MyObject extends DataObject { private static $db = array('Content' => 'HTMLText'); private static $casting = array('ContentHighlighted' => 'HTMLText'); public function ContentHighlighted($term) { return str_replace($term, "$term", $this->Content); } }
There is currently no way to allow shortcodes directly in template markup (as opposed to return values of template placeholders).
Defining Custom Shortcodes
All you need to do to define a shortcode is to register a callback with the parser that will be called whenever a
shortcode is encountered. This callback will return a string to replace the shortcode with.
If the shortcode is used for template placeholders of type
HTMLText or
the returned value should be valid HTML
To register a shortcode you call:
ShortcodeParser::get('default')->register('my_shortcode', <callback>); These parameters are passed to the callback:
- Any parameters attached to the shortcode as an associative array (keys are lower-case).
- Any content enclosed within the shortcode (if it is an enclosing shortcode). Note that any content within this will not have been parsed, and can optionally be fed back into the parser.
- The ShortcodeParser instance used to parse the content.
- The shortcode tag name that was matched within the parsed content.
- An associative array of extra information about the shortcode being parsed. For example, if the shortcode is
is inside an attribute, the
elementkey contains a reference to the parent
DOMElement, and the
nodekey the attribute's
Example: Google Maps Iframe by Address
To demonstrate how easy it is to build custom shortcodes, we'll build one to display a Google Map based on a provided address. Format:
[googlemap,width=500,height=300]97-99 Courtenay Place, Wellington, New Zealand[/googlemap]
So we've got the address as "content" of our new
googlemap shortcode tags,
plus some
width and
height arguments. We'll add defaults to those in our shortcode parser so they're optional.
ShortcodeParser::get('default')->register('googlemap', function($arguments, $address, $parser, $shortcode) { $iframeUrl = sprintf( 'http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s&hnear=%s&ie=UTF8&hq=&t=m&z=14&output=embed', urlencode($address), urlencode($address) ); $width = (isset($arguments['width']) && $arguments['width']) ? $arguments['width'] : 400; $height = (isset($arguments['height']) && $arguments['height']) ? $arguments['height'] : 300; return sprintf( '', $width, $height, $iframeUrl ); });
The hard bits are taken care of (parsing out the shortcodes), everything we need to do is a bit of string replacement.
CMS users still need to remember the specific syntax, but these shortcodes can form the basis
for more advanced editing interfaces (with visual placeholders). See the built-in
embed shortcode as an example
for coupling shortcodes with a form to create and edit placeholders.
Built-in Shortcodes
SilverStripe comes with several shortcode parsers already.
Internal page links keep references to their database IDs rather than
the URL, in order to make these links resilient against moving the target page to a different
location in the page tree. This is done through the
[sitetree_link] shortcode, which
takes an
id parameter. Example:

Links to internal
File database records work exactly the same, but with the
Media (Photo, Video and Rich Content)
Many media formats can be embedded into websites through the
tag, but some require plugins like Flash or special markup and attributes.
OEmbed is a standard to discover these formats based on a simple URL,
for example a Youtube link pasted into the "Insert Media" form of the CMS.
Since TinyMCE can't represent all these varations, we're showing a placeholder
instead, and storing the URL with a custom
- Unclosed -
- Explicitly closed -
- With parameters, mixed quoting -
[shortcode parameter=value parameter2='value2' parameter3="value3"]
- Old style parameter separation -
- With contained content & closing tag -
[shortcode]Enclosed Content[/shortcode]
- Escaped (will output
[just][text]in response) -
[just [text]
Attribute and element scope
HTML with unprocessed shortcodes in it is still valid HTML. As a result, shortcodes can be in two places in HTML:
- In an attribute value, like so:
link
- In an element's text, like so:

Some text [shortcode] more text

The first is called "element scope" use, the second "attribute scope"
You may not use shortcodes in any other location. Specifically, you can not use shortcodes to generate attributes or change the name of a tag. These usages are forbidden:
<[paragraph]>Some test</[paragraph]>
link
You may need to escape text inside attributes
> becomes
You can include HTML tags inside a shortcode tag, but you need to be careful of nesting to ensure you don't
break the output

 [shortcode]
Caption
 [/shortcode]

 [shortcode]

 [/shortcode]

Element scoped shortcodes have a special ability to move the location they are inserted at to comply with HTML lexical rules. Take for example this basic paragraph tag:

Head [figure,src="assets/a.jpg",caption="caption"] Tail
 When converted naively would become

Head

caption

 Tail

However this is not valid HTML - P elements can not contain other block level elements.
To fix this you can specify a "location" attribute on a shortcode. When the location attribute is "left" or "right" the inserted content will be moved to immediately before the block tag. The result is this:

caption

Head Tail

When the location attribute is "leftAlone" or "center" then the DOM is split around the element. The result is this:

Head

caption

 Tail

Parameter values
Here is a summary of the callback parameter values based on some example shortcodes.
$attributes => array() $enclosedContent => null $parser => ShortcodeParser instance $tagName => 'my_shortcode'
Short with attributes
$attributes => array ('attribute' => 'foo', 'other' => 'bar') $enclosedContent => null $parser => ShortcodeParser instance $tagName => 'my_shortcode'
Long with attributes
$attributes => array('attribute' => 'foo') $enclosedContent => 'content' $parser => ShortcodeParser instance $tagName => 'my_shortcode'
Since the shortcode parser is based on a simple regular expression it cannot properly handle nested shortcodes. For example the below code will not work as expected:
The parser will raise an error if it can not find a matching opening tag for any particular closing tag

TD Ameritrade Review
When searching for a well-rounded broker, finding the right mix is no easy task. Trade costs, ease-of-use, trade platforms, research and customer service all are important to investors.
After using a TD Ameritrade account, you can't help but love the overall experience. The broker charges $9.99 per trade a rate that can be up to two times more than some of the cheaper discount brokers but the value and quality delivered is so superior that is easily justifies the higher price tag. Our TD Ameritrade review shows they are the real deal.
Customer Service
If having access to 24/7 customer support with email and phone is important to you, then TD Ameritrade has you covered. During testing, more than half of our emails were returned within an hour, and the phone system is quick to navigate and connects you to a rep almost instantaneously.
Live chat support is also offered, but only for clients seeking platform support while using thinkorswim, or for potential clients that navigate around the site long enough to trigger a live chat popup. Knowing how the web is evolving, I would like to see TD Ameritrade offer live chat support for all clients and potential clients.
The bottom line when it comes to support is that for a full-service broker, great customer service is expected, and TD Ameritrade delivers, regardless of the communication avenue.
Commissions & Fees
Having access to 24/7 customer support, advanced trade platforms, ample research, and more, unfortunately, isn't inexpensive. TD Ameritrade charges a flat rate of $9.99 per trade with options costing $9.99, plus $.75 per contract (for full commissions details, see the Commissions & Fees tab above).
Compared to other full-service brokers, TD Ameritrade is on par with ETRADE, but is more expensive than the rest, including Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and Scottrade. In fact, with margin costs taken into consideration, TD Ameritrade is the most expensive broker out of 17 total included in our 2014 Review.
Out of all the online brokers, TD Ameritrade does stand out by offering the second largest selection of commission-free ETFs (Charles Schwab offers the most with 121 total); 101 are available as I write this review. The only caveat is that, with TD Ameritrade, any commission-free ETF that is sold within 30 days of purchase is subject to a short-term trading fee of $19.99.
Research, Ease-of-Use
Like its biggest competitors ETRADE, Charles Schwab, and Fidelity, TD Ameritrade has a substantial research offering. When I pulled up a quote for Google (GOOG), there were eight different third-party research reports to choose from and read, which is impressive because any deep-discount broker rarely provides even one. The featured research report provider is ResearchTeam, which combines five research providers into one.
TD Ameritrade utilizes Thomson Reuters as its third-party data provider for fundamental analysis of individual equities and offers the full array of Morningstar research for all mutual funds. Morningstar is my favorite third-party research provider for mutual funds, and it is no surprise that TD Ameritrade, ETRADE, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, Scottrade, and other big names all agree.
I also enjoyed the basic on-site charting functionality. With 34 different technical indicators (volume, MACD, RSI, etc.) and easy-to-read, big charts, the experience is as clean as you'll find anywhere.
Making research effortless to conduct is a just one part of TD Ameritrades effort to make its website easy-to-use. The site-wide quote bar streams real-time quotes and includes SnapTicket, a quick trade extension that allows stock and option orders to be placed from any page on the site.
One of TD Ameritrades newer features, the dock, was released in 2013, allowing clients to have their own customizable sidebar that stays on screen the whole time they are logged in. Optional columns allow a variety of modules to be used (10 were available as of this review). While ideal for wide screen monitors, I found myself ignoring my custom dock in favor of the primary site navigation and tools. Perhaps it was because I use a 24 monitor or that old habits are just hard to break.
Platforms & Tools
While there are many standout areas for TD Ameritrade, the broker's two platforms really are its bread and butter. The flagship platform, thinkorswim, used to be a standalone broker until TD Ameritrade acquired it in 2009. Thinkorswim is designed for advanced traders who want complete flexibility and depth.
Run as a desktop application, thinkorswim is so advanced that it is only rivaled byTradeStation. Having dozens of charts streaming real-time data is as easy as a few clicks, and even the most picky trader will be satisfied with the 200 plus technical studies available for each chart, not to mention that each study can be customized thereafter. The possible combinations are endless.
TD Ameritrade's thinkorswim is also home to a slew of advanced tools and functionality. Whether it be CNBC TV, alerts, heat mapping, earnings calendars, stock scanners, options screeners or back-testing, the rabbit hole goes as far as any trader's imagination will take them. One of the newest innovations is thinkorswim Sharing, which gives clients the ability to share workspaces, charts, studies, trade templates, and more via email or social media.
And if thinkorswim wasn't enough, TD Ameritrade also has a web-based platform, Trade Architect, which is designed with more casual investors in mind. The tools and functionality are purposely kept simple, and the design is clean with visual flare. Everything ran smoothly in my Chrome browser, bug-free, and I quickly became a fan of the platform wide streaming real-time quotes. I could only find one flaw: no virtual trading support.
From testing every broker, the streaming watch list functionality Trade Architect offers is my favorite. It isn't just the cleanness of the data it also offers the flexibility, ease-of-use, and depth of data. The layout is completely customizable, and having access to visual data such as quote trends, trade trends, relative range, and the 52-week range was simply icing on the cake.
Final Thoughts
TD Ameritrade is one of those companies that just gets it. They understand their clients, the value of a high quality user experience, and they know what it takes to stay ahead of the competition.
Any investor, new or seasoned, will find TD Ameritrade to be a great fit for their needs. The only gripe with the broker is cost, but what you pay for is what you get, and the quality delivered by TD Ameritrade is, without a doubt, worth the extra few dollars per trade. TD Ameritrade is No. 1 in my book.

It's tough being young and wild, especially if you live in a small Colorado mountain town. Sometimes kids just have to invent their own kind of fun. Perhaps 18-year-old Shelby Figueroa was thinking just that when she slammed her car into the back of an unmarked police SUV in Clear Creek, Colorado. The five-foot-tall suspect was subsequently detained and placed into the back of another police SUV. And then the real excitement began.
These strange beasts aren't custom cars built in someone's garage. The plans for the odd looking motor vehicles featured here were actually drawn up by automobile manufacturers, for the most part, and put together on some kind of assembly line. The actual number produced might be small, but that doesn't make them any less cool, or bizarre.

What is Fanconi Anemia?
Fanconi anemia (FA), named for Swiss pediatrician, Guido Fanconi, is a very rare, primarily recessive genetic disorder. If both parents carry a defect (mutation) in the same FA gene, each of their children has a 25% chance of inheriting the defective gene from both parents. When this happens, the child will have FA.
Fanconi anemia is an inherited disease that can lead to bone marrow failure and cancer. Though considered primarily a blood disease, FA may affect all systems of the body. It is a complex and chronic disorder that is psychologically demanding. FA is also a cancer-prone disease, affecting patients decades earlier than the general population.

It's New Year's Eve in Salem and there are plenty of "fireworks" to go around. John confronts Kristen about her feelings for Brady and in a stunning moment, she reveals she's been plotting her revenge against John since the day she returned to Salem. John realizes all her claims of being reformed and all those coincidental run-ins were just a deception. Kristen admits she has never gotten over the way he treated her and now she plans to take away something John loves dearly – his son. John comes to the horrifying conclusion that Kristen is just as evil as ever and vows she will never come between him and Brady. After he leaves, Brady comes by and Kristen plays the innocent victim, claiming John was out of control. Brady is immediately sympathetic and assures he will smooth things over with his father. At midnight, Brady and Kristen share a passionate kiss… which is interrupted when a livid John and Marlena come bursting into the room. Earlier, Brady admits to Marlena that he is having a secret affair with Kristen – which John now knows because he walked in on them having sex. Marlena is guilt-ridden, knowing she pushed an unwitting John into that situation and could've spared her husband the shock. Brady asks if Marlena will ever accept Kristen in his life and a vehement Marlena says no. Later, Marlena finds John, and he fills her in regarding Kristen's schemes. While Sami and Rafe prepare for their respective New Year's Eve dates with EJ and Nicole, they can't stop thinking of one another. Despite Rafe's insistence that he is done with Sami, Nicole realizes her friend is in denial, especially when he is unable to hide his upset at seeing EJ and Sami on their date at the town square. When EJ leaves to get Sami a drink, Nicole encourages Rafe to say hello. Eventually, he and Sami connect and at midnight, Rafe gives into his feelings and kisses her passionately. Meanwhile, Nicole pretends to be drunk in order to detain EJ and prevent him from being with Sami at midnight. In a desperate attempt to stall, she pulls a startled EJ into a kiss. Chad makes an excuse to visit Abigail, and Jennifer invites him to celebrate the New Year with them. Sensing the chemistry between her daughter and Chad, Jennifer leaves to visit Daniel, who is working at the hospital. Jennifer and Daniel manage to share a sweet kiss at the stroke of midnight. Meanwhile, back at the house, Chad and Abigail bond and share a surprisingly electric kiss. Earlier, Daniel and Eric formally introduce themselves, and Eric points out they have a mutual friend in Nicole.

New York Public Library Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, Location: New York NY, Architect: Carriere and Hastings
Credit: Peter Aaron
To celebrate the centennial of its 1911 Beaux-Arts main building, the NYPL commissioned the first comprehensive exterior restoration of the structure. Workers repointed bricks using hydraulic lime mortar and applied protective treatments. More than 2,000 marble sculptures were restored, and unsympathetic alterations made over the years to bronze windows, grilles, and doors were undone.
Jury: "There is a high level of professionalism from everyone that worked on this project; everyone was a strong player, from the craftsmen to the design team."
Client: "The most successful aspect of the project is the one that is most obvious to the eye: This brilliant Beaux-Arts masterpiece by Carrere and Hastings looks as gorgeous now as it did when it was completed in 1911. A century of grime, wear and tear, and poor restoration work has been swept away by the great work of our architects and by all the craftsmen and women who labored with such devotion on the project." —Paul LeClerc, president emeritus, New York Public Library

Brand & Martinez for September 6, 2012
Why Bill Clinton still has his mojo
MLADEN ANTONOV/AFP/Getty Images
The 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton addresses the audience at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 5, 2012 on the second day of the Democratic National Convention (DNC). The DNC is expected to nominate US President Barack Obama to run for a second term as president on September 6th.
Last night, Bill Clinton gave what's being called the speech of his life. A 50-minute full-throated endorsement of President Obama and condemnation of Republicans.
"We Democrats, we think the country works better with a strong middle class, with real opportunities for poor folks to work their way into it, with a relentless focus on the future, with business and government actually working together to promote growth and broadly shared prosperity. You see, we believe that 'We're all in this together' is a far better philosophy than 'You're on your own.'"
Selling the Democrats message is the goal of this week's convention, but why is Mr. Clinton so much better at it than anyone else? He's known for his skills behind a podium but how much of that is talent and how much is learned?
We speak to James Fallows, national correspondent of The Atlantic about how Clinton did and what tricks politicians use to make their talks memorable.

About William Ligon
My work has required me to
manage a small business, interpret the law, apply the law, and conduct a courtroom with an even temperament to ensure each person was heard and respected. These types of experiences have prepared me for the process of writing laws, which is the work legislators must accomplish during their 40 days in the General Assembly each year. I will bring those same abilities and decorum to the Senate.
William Ligon
Senator William Ligon, first elected to office in November 2010, began his third term in the Georgia Senate in January 2015. He was elected by his colleagues to serve as the Senate Majority Caucus Chairman.
In the previous legislative term, Sen. Ligon served as Chairman of the Senate State and Local Governmental Affairs Committee and as Vice-Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Non-Civil Committee. He also served as a member of the Judiciary, Ethics, and Health and Human Services committees. He is a member of the Jekyll Island Legislative Oversight Committee.
In his freshman term, Sen. Ligon served as Vice-Chairman of the Senate Education Committee. He also served as a member of the following committees: Health and Human Services, Judiciary, Public Safety, Ethics, and Regulated Industries and Utilities.
He has received several legislative awards over the past four years. These include The Rising Star Award from the Georgia Republican Assembly, the Defender of Liberty Award from the American Conservative Union, Legislator of the Year Award from Green Law as part of the Environmental Heroes Celebration, the Clean Water Champion Award from the Georgia Water Coalition, and a 100% Voting Record from the National Federation of Independent Business.
Formerly, Senator Ligon served as the Municipal Court Judge for the City of Brunswick for 16 years. He has practiced law for 28 years and managed his own law firm since 1993. He is the Senior Partner of Ligon, Lindberg, and Lanier, P.C., with offices in Brunswick and St. Simons Island.
A graduate of Glynn Academy, Senator Ligon earned his Bachelors degree at Valdosta State College and his law degree from Mercer Universitys School of Law, graduating from both with academic honors. His political calling began on the local level when he first chaired the Glynn County Young Republicans. In Washington, D.C., Sen. Ligon worked as an intern with Senator Mack Mattingly in the United States Senate.
Senator Ligon and his wife, Kim, a former public school teacher, have five children and reside on St. Simons Island.

Whisper Thin Gold Photo Locket
"There's a heart in every Locket" is the trademark slogan used by the design and manufacturing jewelers Wightman & Hough Co. of Providence, Rhode Island (1856 – 1922). The firm was known for their sweetheart necklaces and especially for these engraved lockets for men and women. They also made charms, seals, miniature brooches and medallions. In addition, the company made custom items such as the 1912 Boston Red Sox World Championship sterling and gold pieces for the players to commemorate their champion season.
With a flat and thin profile (ideal for everyday wear), the ornate hand engraved oval double box locket features designs on both the front and reverse. The back is incised with a script monogram of the initials ILG. The front has an intricate series of patterns and designs with a blank circular cartouche just waiting for your initials or a date. The surface is visually arresting and has both a matte and a polished finish. The outer elements are 6k yellow gold with the rims and inner sections gold-filled. Notable aspects are the hidden hinge and two interior compartments suitable for a photograph and a keepsake.
Date: Circa 1910.

I'm planting my first seeds today and to do that I'll need to mix up a new batch of seed-starting soil mix. If you're starting your own seeds in trays like me you need to use a soil "medium" that is sterile, meaning that it doesn't have fungus and bacteria that will be hard on your tender little seedlings, especially in the humid conditions that are ideal for seed starting.
You can buy seed starting mix at your local garden supply store or, as I've learned, you can make your own that is just as good if not better. It will take an initial investment but if you're going to get into starting plants I think it's worth it and if have a large volume of seeds to start and transplant as they grow you'll save some money by making your own.
To get started you need to buy three basic ingredients:
- Vermiculite
- Perlite
- Peat Moss
I buy the big bags of each for around $25 each at Northwest Seed and Pet, and those usually last me two growing seasons, with the perlite and vermiculite lasting longer. I find that I don't need much soil medium to start the seeds, but when I transplant the growing plants into larger pots I really use a lot of soil medium.
The basic mix is 3 parts peat moss, 1 part perlite and 1 part vermiculite. I make my batches by using a plastic pitcher, and I use a dedicated garbage can to mix 9 pitchers full of peat moss, 3 of perlite and 3 of vermiculite. Note: use a particle mask while doing this. I usually wet it down a little before mixing it to keep the dust down.
Make sure to mix it up well, wet it all down so it's damp, but not soggy, and it's ready to load into your planting trays. It's much easier filling plastic trays with soil that already has the proper moisture content.
I learned this mix from Bruce at GEM Garden and Greenhouse. He sells this medium with some other goodies added in for a great price. If you're only starting a couple of trays you might want to go that route.
Seedlings supply their own fertilizer for the first week or so as they feed off the remnants of the seed. After this you will need to use a regular regimen of fertilizer to help them grow. Take note that peat moss is slightly acidic so, depending on the sensitivity of the plants you're starting, you may want to compensate in your fertilizing to neutralize the acidity.
I've used this seed-starting mix for four years with great success. Let me know if you have any questions.
Photo: From an amazing photo collection of vintage seed packs and catalogues at the Smithsonian.
Just checking in about the seed starting calendar I put together earlier in the Spring. So far we're right on schedule. We're just about 7 weeks out from the last freeze date here in the Spokane area so everything is planted in the greenhouse except the Zucchini and summer squash. The picture to the left is what the greenhouse looks like at this point. If I cranked up the heat some more I could get things growing more briskly but I don't like to run the heater all the time. The barrels with water pictured to the left are full of water and are designed to absorb heat during the day and slowly release heat at night. Our greenhouse is the Costco sourced kit that sells for about $700.
The peas I planted in the garden about three weeks ago are now popping up as are the radishes. No sign of the parsnips or beets. It's going to get pretty cold later in the week so I may put some plastic over these sprouts overnight just in case.
I went to Northwest Seed & Pet last week and bought my seed potatoes. Legend has it that you're supposed to plant your seed potatoes on Good Friday. I mentioned that to a real potato farmer one time and he laughed and said, "Yea, That or when the soil reaches a temperature of 52 degrees." (I actually can't remember the exact temperature.) I think I'll stick with the Good Friday rule. I've said it many times but I recommend planting funky varieties of potatoes, like purple or fingerling or pink. There is nothing more discouraging than growing Yukon Gold or Russett type potatoes only to go to the grocery store and see them being sold for .50 cents a pound. We've still got about 50 lbs of potatoes left from last summer's harvest.
One of my special projects for this year is to grow native wildflowers from the seeds I gathered last summer. There is something really satisfying seeing them sprouting up in the Greenhouse. The wildflowers I'm growing from seed include Fireweed, Blanketflower, Lupine, Blue Flax, Hooker's Onion, Yarrow, Deer Vetch, Buckwheat, and Arrowleaf Balsamroot. Everything has popped up so far except for the Arrowleaf which I was told is notoriously hard to start from seeds gathered in the wild. I have a bunch of other native flowers I am starting from store bought seeds.
Richard Bohn, a local artist from the Pumpkin Patch Community Garden group stopped by Saturday to get some of the seeds I gathered to include in the wildflower border we're planting around the garden. Go here for an update on the garden and to www.pumpkinpatchgarden.com for the whole scoop and to sign up to volunteer. Click through to read a nice poem Richard wrote about planting the seeds on Saturday.

The Senate's upcoming vote on the assault weapons ban is going to put vulnerable Democrats in a difficult spot.
Democrats facing tough reelection races will either attract the ire of the National Rifle Association or prominent gun control activists such as New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I). A vote against the ban could spark primary challenges that could weaken Democrats in the general election.

It is amazing how small the world becomes during a visit to the Foreign Police. Last week, I made my second and third (and final) trip to the Office of the Border and Foreign Police in Bratislava, to secure my visa to teach.
Just like our first trip, we made the best out of a day-long bureaucratic nightmare. Because of this, we were once again pleasantly surprised. Surrounded by people from "all over the planet," as our colleague and translator Peter described, we met a new Vietnamese friend named Tai. He is a translator for incoming Vietnamese immigrants.
The little man in the Nike hat sat down beside me, reached into his backpack and pulled out an old book with a blank cover. We had been talking for a few minutes in English, and after he opened it I saw that it was a Vietnamese/English learning book. "I do not speak it very well," he told me. "Can you read this to me?"
So, in the middle of the small and almost dilapidated, communist-style waiting room, I read to him a dialogue between a husband and wife leaving for the train station. He read it after me with almost no errors, but I could see that he was hesitant to speak it in front of me. After he finished, I then read the text in Vietnamese. I think I botched every word, but he just smiled and corrected me patiently.
Tai ended up inviting us to lunch for some Vietnamese soup later that day. We joined him, and at a lunch table in the middle of an open-air market in Slovakia, we spoke bits and pieces of each other's languages to each other (English, Slovak and Vietnamese). And even though there was minimal dialogue actually being spoken, we communicated the entire meal, anyway.
