Yawateg - your mountain getaway
Available to Reserve Online 24/7
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6, pet friendly, private & secluded, hot tub, fire pit
Yawateg - your mountain getaway ~ The mountains- they whisper a beauty of their own, for all who walk their paths and seek their wisdom have respected their presence for thousands of years. Everyone needs a place where they can escape from time to time-that's why God made mountains!
If you live in the city you know how invigorating a trip to the country can feel. But what if you could wrap your thoughts around a trip to the country with a mountain thrown in? Imagine how refreshing the mountain air will feel on a cool evening as you relax in a hot tub just outside your cabin door. Everything you can possibly imagine about the mountains is only a moment away. As soon as you see the first mountain peek you'll fall in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains.
If you've been searching for the perfect mountain vacation and want that dreamy cabin with a mountain view, then perhaps you should consider staying at Yawateg. Just in case you were wondering... this isn't the Indian name for "cabin", it's simply the word "getaway" spelled backwards. We like this cabin because it's secluded and yet it isn't too far from town. Yawateg has that old time rustic feel with a splash of charm, providing just the right ambiance for your mountain vacation in the Blue Ridge Mountains. If you're bringing the whole crew on this trip Yawateg is a great choice! Let's begin a quick tour shall we?
This cozy cabin has three bedrooms and can sleep 8. Two bathrooms are a must if you're going to entertain a large crew. Leaving your pets behind can be costly- so please bring your pets to Yawateg as this cabin is critter friendly. We know you'll love the homey feel of this cabin. Each room embraces hues of warmth with the colors and decor- so you'll feel comfy the moment you walk through the front door. We know you'll appreciate the large living area and gas log fireplace where family and friends can gather day or night. The kitchen is fully equipped and the breakfast nook is a great little addition.
You'll take notice to the large picture windows-perfect for a deer sighting or for watching the various birds of the Appalachians. The master bedroom is something to brag about and you'll love the master bath complete with garden tub and shower. The guest bedrooms both have carpet flooring, keeping toes warm and snuggly on those cold winter evenings. All your linens and towels are provided, and if you need to throw some clothes in the washer and dryer, we have that too.
Let's explore to the game room for some fun! If you enjoy a good game of pool then you won't want to miss this fabulous room complete with large screen TV. If you're tired of playing pool why not join in the fun and play some board games? We offer satellite TV for your enjoyment-making your stay in the North Georgia Mountains feel like home.
For those of you who want to venture outdoors to listen the night sounds of the hoot owls and other strange woodland noises, you'll love the outside deck complete with gas grill and hot tub. Enjoy making smores using the outdoor fire pit or simply roast some marshmallows. There is so much to take in - one, or even two days just won't seem long enough when you're here in the Blue Ridge Mountains. For those of you who don't know-there is always something to do and it's not too far from your cabins front door. For some of you it might be as simple as sipping on apple cider while zoning out in the hot tub.
But others may wish to explore the surrounding areas or take in some sight seeing. Here's something you should know-just because this cabin is situated in a private setting- doesn't mean there's nothing to do. Although it might not be as simple as clicking your heels... here's the best part-you don't need to drive too far to antique shop or visit a gem mine. Visit the HYPERLINK "http://www.sundancecabinrentals.com/local-area-guide.asp" local area guide for a list of "things to do". Now that you've taken the tour you know you want to give us a call and reserve your spot- c'mon what are you waiting for?
We invite you to feel the magic first hand and experience the Blue Ridge Mountains at Yawateg! * This cabin is available to reserve online 24/7- and remember it is one of our non-smoking cabins

Elevated surf expected along coast could lead to rip currents, minor beach erosion
SAN DIEGO - Elevated surf expected along the San Diego County coast later Saturday could lead to hazardous rip currents and minor beach erosion, forecasters said.
Lifeguards told 10News surf of mostly between 4 and 6 feet was expected on exposed west-facing beaches with local set of up to 8 feet south of Del Mar.
"A long period swell generated by a storm off the coast of Japan will arrive in the Southern California coastal waters around sunset today and continue through Monday," a National Weather Service advisory said. "This will result in elevated surf heights and stronger and more persistent rip currents."
The rip currents could endanger swimmers, forecasters said. Minor beach erosion could also be possible.
The highest surf was forecast for Sunday and should gradually lower Monday through Wednesday, the NWS advisory said.

The personal property coverage of your homeowners policy might cover a small boat, motor and trailer (usually for $1,500 or less in physical damage). It should be noted that coverage for your liability risk is limited. Insurers generally provide liability insurance on small sailboats (26 feet or less) and powerboats with small motors (50 hp for inboard and inboard/outboard and 25 HP for outboard motors).
However, a boat of any significant size will be excluded from your homeowners policy for both property and liability coverage. In certain situations liability coverage can be added as an endorsement to a homeowners policy.
Larger and faster boats, yachts, and personal watercrafts such as jet skis and wave runners require a separate boat insurance policy. For yachts, damage to the craft, including the hull, may be covered. These policies also provide broader liability protection. A boat insurance policy may cover:
Bodily injury - for injuries caused to another person
Property damage - for damage caused to someone else's property
Guest passenger liability - for any legal expenses incurred by someone using the boat with the owner's permission.
Medical payments - for injuries to the boat owner and other passengers.
Most companies offer liability limits starting at $15,000 and can be increased to $300,000. Typical policies include deductibles of $250 for property damage, $500 for theft and $1000 for medical payments. Additional coverage can be purchased for trailers and other accessories. Boat owners may also consider purchasing an umbrella liability policy which will provide additional protection for their boat, home and car.
The type of vessel, the horsepower of the engines, the value of the vessel, and the location where it is kept are all factors in determining coverage and premium.
Another variable influencing the cost of boat insurance is the water where it's used. Sailing in the Caribbean is generally riskier than sailing a quiet lake. The Insurance Information Institute suggests that boat owners discuss this with their insurance agent or company representative to protect their boat and determine their coverage needs.
Boat owners should also find out about the following discounts:
Diesel powered crafts. It is less hazardous than gasoline since it is less likely to explode.
Coast Guard approved fire extinguishers.
Ship-to-shore radios.
Two years of claims-free experience.
Multi policy with the same insurer, such as a car, home or umbrella policy.
Safety education courses, such as those offered by the Coast Guard Auxiliary (http://www.cgaux.org), U.S. Power Squadrons (http://www.usps.org), and the American Red Cross (http://www.redcross.org).
To be a safer boater, the U.S. Coast Guard suggests that you:
Get a free vessel safety check by calling 1-800-368-5647 or visiting http://www.vesselsafetycheck.org.
Monitor the weather forecast and let someone know where you're going and when to expect you.
Check engine, fuel, electrical and steering systems, especially for exhaust-system leaks.
Keep marine-type fire extinguishers accessible and in condition for immediate use. Make sure they are matched to the size and type of the boat.
Equip the vessel with required navigation lights and with a whistle, horn or bell. Consider additional safety devices, such as a paddle or oars, a first-aid kit, a supply of fresh water, a tool kit and spare parts, a flashlight, flares and a radio.
Make sure that every person on board the boat wears a life jacket and don't permit riding on the bow, seatbacks or gunwales. Every year, 80% of boater fatalities are attributed to a missing life jacket.
Never boat under the influence. In 2001, alcohol was involved in more than one third of all boating fatalities.
Some other questions to ask your agent before putting your boat in the water:
Does my policy have adequate liability limits?
Who does the policy cover to operate the boat or personal watercraft?
Is the towing of skiers or tubes covered by my policy?

American Dustin Johnson may not have won the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday but the long bomber put in an 11th hour bid for Ryder Cup selection by tying for fourth place at the TPC Boston.Johnson finished highest among those widely tipped to be included when U.S. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III announces his four wildcard picks for the biennial competition on Tuesday.Those selected will join the eight automatic qualifiers on the U.S. team for this year's Ryder Cup against Europe, which will be played at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago from September 28-30."I'm a little bit (nervous). I really want to play on the team," Johnson told reporters after shooting a one-under 70 in the final round.
"I'm a little bit (nervous). I really want to play on the team"
American Dustin Johnson
"I really think that I can help the team, and it's something that I really enjoy doing, so hopefully captain Love will pick me."Brandt Snedeker finished a shot behind Johnson in sixth place, veterans Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk were part of a tie for 13th, Nick Watney shared 20th place, Bo Van Pelt tied for 26th, Hunter Mahan was joint 39th and Rickie Fowler 74th.Stricker is regarded as the safest bet having provided a great partnership with Tiger Woods on several U.S. teams while Furyk, a seven-time Ryder Cup veteran, is also expected to get the nod."I'm calm. Hopefully I have a good feeling I'm going to get that call," Stricker said after carding a 70 on Monday."I've talked to Davis enough, I've talked to enough other players that are on the team, and it sounds good for me."It would be real important because it's right there in my backyard. It's two hours from home."
Next best When the automatic eight qualifiers were decided after last month's PGA Championship, Mahan was next best in the U.S. Cup standings, followed by Stricker, Furyk, Fowler, Snedeker, Van Pelt and Johnson.However, despite winning twice this year by April, including the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship final over current world number one Rory McIlroy, Mahan has just one top 10 since, leaving many to suspect he will not get the chance to atone for his flubbed chip in the deciding match of the 2010 Ryder Cup.Snedeker conceded the pressure of performing in the final hours had weighed heavily on his mind in Boston."Today was a very big day. If I played bad today it might sway him one way or the other, so (I) just tried to play as well as I could," he said."Somebody is going to be really disappointed tomorrow, and whoever it is probably deserved to make the team."So it's going to be a tough night for me and everybody else on the outside looking in."The eight players already on the team are Tiger Woods, Masters champion Bubba Watson, Jason Dufner, Keegan Bradley, U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson, Zach Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Phil Mickelson.Dufner, Bradley and Simpson will make their Ryder Cup debuts while Watson and Kuchar will each make their second appearances in the team competition.

The Port of Liverpool has added six straddle carriers to its container-handling fleet.
The port has purchased one Liebherr and five Terex (Noell) diesel-electric straddle carriers, which Peel Ports Mersey Engineering Manager Brad Crumbleholme said can stack three containers in height (one over two). The Liebherr unit also provides extendable twin-lift spreader capability. Crumbleholme said the new straddle carriers offer improved fuel efficiency, reduce noise and lower hydraulic fluid requirements.
The U.K. port has undertaken a broad investment and expansion program, with planned capital maintenance spending of £20 million (approximately $32.2 million) in 2012. In addition, it is investing $483.2 million in a planned deep-water container terminal, Liverpool 2, that is expected to be operational in 2015.

Jump When Ready Review
This is just such a great review for Jump When Ready on Goodreads. I really loved this one and appreciate the time it took so much.
"So, this is well conceived, well crafted, a bit challenging for a YA reader, and very rewarding. What a nice find."
Don't stop
I know this might sound a bit like bragging (I hope not) but someone I haven't actually met emailed me today to say this: "So far both your stories have caught me right away and I don't want to put them down until I'm done. And they're fun to read! The characters are great. Don't stop!"
I may not be making tons of money from my books and I may not be anywhere near the top of the Amazon rankings (some days are better than others—today, actually, brought pretty good news on that front). There have even been a few times when I've asked myself if it's really worth all the work it takes to publish novels. Not the writing—I love that part, of course—but all the technical aspects to format for print and ebook on various platforms, the costs and time involved in marketing, all that goes into publishing itself making it basically a second full-time job (and distracting obsession).
But when someone emails me and tells me how much they enjoyed my writing, or they leave a favorable review on Amazon or Goodreads, it makes every minute worth it. I started writing hoping someday to be worthy of being read and every so often lately I hear I've actually managed to accomplish that with my novels. That, in itself, is a dream come true.
I'm Going to Tell You a Nasty Secret about the Publishing Industry
On rejection, the query-go-round and indie publishing by Lorca Damon. So glad I read this post and thanks to Robert Chazz Chute for reblogging it so that I came to see it.
Originally posted on See Lorca Write:
Years ago, I was one of the sheep. I feverishly queried agents, I kept spreadsheets of where I'd sent queries, I attended conferences with breakout sessions called "How to Land an Agent," and I even paid for an outrageously expensive annual membership to a certain magazine whose only function in life is to sell magazines to authors who desperately cling to the dream of being published. I not only drank the Kool Aid, I bathed in it.
When I learned about hybrid publishing, I thought, "Oh, I can go ahead and self-publish something, and that no longer disqualifies me from being signed by an agent some day! Yea!" So I did.
In the meantime, TWO earth shattering things happened that changed my entire worldview on the industry. Around this same time, I got a nibble from an agent. She loved my book. We emailed. We even Skyped. We talked books…

Writer's A, B, C: Free tools for finding happy new readers
Some great advice for indies from Robert Chazz Chute.
Originally posted on C h a z z W r i t e s . c o m:
1. Anonymity is the problem.
2. Discoverability is the issue.
3. Being broke is the obstacle.
4. Prolificacy is the strategy.
5. Generosity is the solution.
Today, I'll give you three strategies I'm using to sell more books. First, there's this:
This book of suspense is FREE until midnight, March 7, 2014. Have a look, if only to read my favorite three-star review of all time. You might also enjoy it so see for yourself.
Okay, we all know we can do giveaways to increase our visibility by lowering the risk to new readers, but how to promote it? Here's what I'm doing:
A. Stop ignoring Facebook groups.
I didn't mean to ignore anyone. In fact, I'm quite active on Facebook and have made new friends there. After the release of a new book, there's often a flurry of new friend requests and it's great fun to interact with readers…

Grande Riviere in Trinidad and Tobago, one of the study sites, is an important nesting site for leatherback turtles. Turtle watching, part of eco-tourism conducted in that part of the country, is an important source of income for the community. Any significant rise in mean sea level may negatively impact the turtles' nesting sites and consequently negatively impact Grande Riviere's socio-economic wellbeing. Hydrographic and topographic surveying techniques and GIS were used to construct spatial models that will form the basis for efforts to ascertain the potential socio-economic impacts of sea level rise upon Grande Riviere. The models determined that even a 0.4 metre rise in local mean sea level could destroy turtle nesting sites. Data used to construct the models were obtained under conditions existing in many Small Island Developing States (SIDS). 2011-12-19T00:00:00Z Sea-level projections for five pilot communities of the Nunavut climate change partnership http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/51206 Title: Sea-level projections for five pilot communities of the Nunavut climate change partnership Authors: James, T.S.; Simon, K.M.; Forbes, D.L.; Dyke, A.S.; Mate, D.J. 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Design and implementation of a coastal collaborative GIS to support sea level rise and storm surge adaptation strategies http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/51205 Title: Design and implementation of a coastal collaborative GIS to support sea level rise and storm surge adaptation strategies Authors: Tienaah, Titus Abstract: The ICURA C-Change is a collaboration of universities and eight communities in Canada and the Caribbean to develop adaptation strategies for the effects of sea level rise and storm surges. These vulnerable communities have topographic and sea level data, ranging from high to low precision for developing scientific scenarios of coastal threats. Scientific scenarios without precise data lead to gaps in quantifying the extent of threats in coastal communities, which is vital in developing adaptation strategies. This research develops an online Coastal Collaborative GIS (CCGIS) using local knowledge as input in threat mapping to supplement existing data. The CCGIS developed using the Zend Framework, OpenLayers and ExtJS provide both server-side and client-side programming to embed Google and Bing Maps as base layers to capture spatial input described with multimedia. The purpose was to develop a low cost, user-friendly system, which could be used in any community. Local knowledge acquired in a coastal community is digitized as point, line, and polygons representing a location, linear and area features respectively. Descriptions of spatial objects with rich attributes such as video, audio, pictures, and text captured in a local environment compliment the CCGIS spatial abstraction. A prototype review mechanism and a peer review process to maintain a degree of trust in contributors and their contributions was implemented. This research evaluated the developed CCGIS prototype based on user and system requirements. User tests indicated functional requirements were achieved with more improvements required in some areas. 2011-03-01T00:00:00Z System dynamics and GIS in the simulation of environmental change to coastal communities http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/51204 Title: System dynamics and GIS in the simulation of environmental change to coastal communities Authors: Pakdel, Sahar Abstract: Climate change and sea level rise affects Canada's most sensitive coastlines. This research proposal studies the community of Isle Madame in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The research focuses on identifying vulnerable areas in the community via geographical modeling using ArcGIS as well as simulating and modeling of coastal climate change via system dynamics. The objective of the research is to evaluate the physical, social, and economic impacts of a series of changing climate scenarios in order to plan for developing and implementing strategies to adapt to environmental change. The main challenges of this research are how to integrate and synthesize information from a variety of sources including biology, ecology, toxicology, habitat, natural resources, and environmental, as well as from human society including the study of, economic, social, cultural, and institutional and organizational dimensions. This includes industrial commercialization, community development, social stability, and federal and provincial government regulations and policy, that are all part of the human-environment integrated system. Determining the most vulnerable areas and improving local community knowledge, planning and community response networks are recognized as ways and means to reduce the negative impacts of pending climate change. This research outlines a dynamic model of coastal climate change for Isle Madame, designed to help the community be familiar with the community's vulnerable areas in order to plan and implement a strategy to adapt to environmental change. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Multicriteria decision evaluation of adaptation strategies for vulnerable coastal communities http://idl-bnc.idrc.ca:80/dspace/handle/10625/51203 Title: Multicriteria decision evaluation of adaptation strategies for vulnerable coastal communities Authors: Mostofi Camare, Hooman Abstract: According to the IPCC (2007) fourth assessment report, small islands and coastal communities have a set of characteristics that makes them very vulnerable to climate change impacts, mainly sea-level rise and storm surges. Coastal hazards including inundation, salinisation of the water supply, and erosion threaten vital infrastructure that support coastal communities. Although Canada has the longest coastline in the world, little work has been done on impacts of climate change and adaptation to these impacts in the Canadian coastal zones. This research is part of an International Community-University Research Alliance (ICURA) C-Change, project to develop a multicriteria decision evaluation and support for the systems analysis of adaptation options for coastal communities toward adapting to environmental changes. This study estimates the vulnerability of coastal communities with respect to their environmental, economic, social, and cultural dimensions. It also applies a group version of the Analytical Hierarchy Process for identifying decisions that various stakeholders make on suggested adaptation strategies. This study develops a methodological framework that is applicable to various coastal and small island contexts. The application of the proposed framework is further discussed in a case study conducted on the communities of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island (PEI), and Little Anse on Isle Madame, Nova Scotia. Specifically, the state of the Little Anse breakwater is analyzed and new adaptation options are presented and evaluated. This research has illustrated and applied a process of decision evaluation and support that explicitly engages multiple participants and critieria in complex problems situations involving environmental change in coastal communities. 2011-07-01T00:00:00Z

Tim Draper Riskmastering Inside the VC's Mind
We got to interview Tim Draper, the legendary investor behind Tesla, Skype, Path, Box, and Baidu (China's Google). He is an adventurous guy who has acted in Hollywood and invested into 400 companies. We asked him how he picks out the best entrepreneurs:
Below is a part of our conversation with Tim.
Inside The Mind Of Tim Draper
Tim has a feel for finding sensational companies.
How does he do it?
He does not hide the ball about what he looks for in a company and what, in fact, looks like a great company.
There are three major things:
When you meet Tim, your job is to show him an opportunity. How big? As big as you can. He wants to go after big markets. The market for Baidu, for example, is 1/6 of the world's population.
This would be easy if you just had to be plain smart. He wants you be a lot more than that – he wants you to know what you are really good at. He wants self-awareness, which translates into knowing not only what you are really good at, but also what you are bad at. He wants you to be better than everyone else in one specific thing, but by a large margin.
Hustling Skills
Tim did not say this word. But this is how I sum up the qualities he looks for. He wants you to know how to make partnerships and get traction. That last thing is probably the most important of all. He is really straightforward in saying how much of a hustler you need to be, "use a virus, use a magnet, use whatever you can," he says.

Digital Envoy Inc.
Startup costs: $100
Believe it or not, IP intelligence technology provider Digital Envoy Inc. was spawned from two serious sweet-tooths. Sanjay Parekh, 31, started buying candy from Costco and reselling it to his telecom co-workers when he struck up a friendship with Rob Friedman, 38, general counsel at the company and an Atomic Fireball enthusiast. Soon, their friendship moved beyond candy cravings, and they were bouncing around business ideas.
Parekh made an interesting discovery when visiting the FedEx and Ikea websites in 1999: both prompted him to enter what country he was in. "I thought that was kind of stupid," he recalls, and the extra step slowed down his home dial-up session. "So I architected a solution to that problem using IP addresses." Friedman agreed that the technology--which provides general information about an online user, such as the city, local demographics and type of internet connection being used, based only on the IP address--would help businesses. They launched Digital Envoy Inc. in 1999, bringing along senior finance manager and co-worker Dennis Maicon, 40.
Filing fees for corporate documents cost $100, and Friedman drew up all the legal drafts. An article on the Red Herring website about their business led to their very first client, Advertising.com (now owned by AOL). Since they worked from their homes, Friedman quips, "I negotiated that deal in my bedroom." They also hired an intern and Friedman's cousin to do programming work in the beginning.
After moving into an office in 2000, they hired three more employees. Friedman found $10 chairs, and opted for modular desk setups rather than expensive cubicles. In their newest office, they have cubicles, bought inexpensively from the office's previous tenant. When it comes to traveling to trade shows and to see customers, they've also found ways to save their Norcross, Georgia, company money, using slightly out-of-the-way but much cheaper flight options.
Digital Envoy now works with many major ad networks and sites, and projects 2004 sales at less than $10 million. The company's latest product, IP Inspector Fraud Analyst, allows companies to fight identity fraud by verifying user identity in real time. They are also combating fraud with a product that analyzes whether an e-mail is really a phishing attack. Digital Envoy continues to grow, but in many ways remains the same. Says Parekh, "One of the philosophies we've always had is to do more with less people."
Home Connections
Startup costs: $350
Brooks Swift, a self-proclaimed car audiophile in his younger days, parlayed his electronics savvy into a business of his own in 2001 with Home Connections, a Topeka, Kansas, company that services, sells and installs home entertainment equipment.
Recognizing that no professional home audiovideo installers existed in his town, Swift launched his company with just $350--which paid for his home theater installation certification through the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association, a global trade association. He already possessed the tools needed to hook up the VCR, DVD player, TV and speakers on his first job. Swift worked from home to handle business matters and phone calls, so he had no overhead costs. And since he didn't have to invest in inventory, he was able to use his clients' deposits to buy the products they needed.
As luck would have it, one of Swift's neighbors worked for The Topeka Capital-Journal and pulled some strings to get a front-page article about Home Connections published. The exposure led to new business, which Swift needed to fund his move into the new-construction market. "People were building housing and wanted to have home theaters and the whole-house audio system, with speakers installed all around the house," explains Swift. He bought tools and a vehicle, hired an employee and began approaching builders, winning over many who were dissatisfied with their past installers. Home Connections soon positioned itself as a specialist in the burgeoning field.
There was one competitor, Aaron Koker, with whom Swift had established a friendly business relationship. "It just made sense to combine our forces," says Swift. The businesses merged on New Year's Day in 2003, and the pair put some of their profits, combined with a $70,000 bank loan, toward opening a retail store, Home Audio Connections. Although they still specialize in outfitting new homes, the retail location sells an array of home theater options and gadgetry and provides turnkey installations for any home.
But Swift, 25, is not one to rest on his laurels. In 2004, he started alarm company Security Connection, and continues his lean operational approach by having his wife, Kelli, run the business from their home. Also focusing on new construction, Security Connection pre-wires new homes so security systems can be readily installed at the request of homeowners. With 2004 sales for all three businesses projected at $1 million and plans to expand to another city nearby, Swift continues to keep costs minimal: "You have to stay lean; it's a very competitive industry."

Residency Training in Adult (General) Psychiatry
Message from the Training Director
Residency training in Psychiatry has undergone a transformation driven by developments in the neurosciences and the skills necessary for the practice of psychiatry. The economic resources allocated by the financiers of medical care to the treatment of those who are mentally ill also has impacted residency training. Progress has been made in understanding the neurobiology of mental disorders and in creating medications that more effectively manage psychiatric symptoms. New and more efficient forms of psychotherapy also have evolved and are undergoing research validation. Psychiatry, with its blend of neurosciences and humanism, may well be the most exciting and gratifying specialty in all of medicine. Residents must learn to use cutting-edge science to meet the needs of patients, regardless of what financiers may dictate. It is the obligation of any residency program to emphasize the importance of advocating for individual patients and to teach the most current knowledge to its trainees. These values direct the Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University Psychiatry residency. We prepare our residents for Board certification and lifelong learning.
The Department's Mission
The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences is an academic department within the Wayne State University School of Medicine. Our mission is to study and identify solutions for the etiology and treatment of serious and chronic mental disorders. These goals are achieved by an integration of basic and clinical research in settings that foster high quality education-training and excellent clinical services.
Training Philosophy
Our primary objective is to train state-of-the-art clinicians, as well as researchers. Each resident must develop an appreciation of the biological, psychological, and social forces that play important roles in the genesis and treatment of psychiatric disorders. Such an extensive breadth of understanding is achieved only through a broad-based, balanced program. Although our program is comprehensive and geographically decentralized, we aim to hone and support the unique interests of each resident. Thus, we offer our residents a wide array of training opportunities in subspecialty areas, including a research track, and active collaboration with the Michigan Psychoanalytic Institute.
The Faculty
Our faculty and program staff are committed to offering residents the opportunity to develop the knowledge base, skills, and attitudes upon which to prepare for American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology certification, and thereafter build successful careers in psychiatry. Our faculty consists of a wide range of professionals, all of whom contribute actively to our education-training programs. This diverse group of educators includes psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, clinical and basic scientists, and epidemiologists. These individuals closely collaborate with residents and one another on educational and research projects. The synergy of these relationships as they bridge clinical and basic research is one of the program's defining aspects. Our faculty includes former members of NIH, and leaders of other prestigious national organizations and review bodies. The hands-on involvement of this group of highly skilled individuals underlies the Department's commitment to its residents, medical students and other trainees in the neurosciences.

We thought it would be a great idea to bring the 'tip of the day' back to you guys!
For those who don't know the TOTD, here is a short description:
We think it would be great to see if you have any new tips to share with your fellow soldiers. Your tip of the day could serve as a simple pick me up, a joke, or a solemn reminder of what they are fighting for when entering the battle.
We know that you all have great tips stashed away and now we would like you to reveal them to the rest, to help them in their battle.
Share your own quick tips in this thread and let others see what great advice there is to offer.
Example: Don't be afraid to ask questions. A lot of skilled players will be more than happy to help with any questions you may have.
We will pick two or three of the best and once a week publish them to the homepage.

When using a Tank or an APC, be sure to look around you often. Assaults equiped with C4 can kill you before you even know you're dead.

Instead of wasting bullets shooting at a tank, APC or attack heli, tag it so that the engineers can lock on with their RPGs.
(if you're good, though, snipe the heli pilot. Also, shoot the APC wheels if you must).

Our hearts go out to all those who lost their homes and loved ones.]]>
On Saturday, August 18th, Mountain High Appliance will host the 8th Annual Colorado EGGfest, an event that celebrates the Big Green Egg® cooking phenomenon. An annual event that has a cult following and draws folks from across the country and state, nearly thirty grilling masters and "EGGheads" will be grilling, smoking, and baking an extensive array of foods from vegetables and meats to breads, fruits, and desserts.
The event, which begins at 9 a.m., will feature demonstrations, delicious food fresh off Big Green Eggs, beverages, live music, discounts on the EGGs and "EGGcessories," prize drawings and a Kid's Corner with fun activities.
The idea of the EGGfest began in 1998, when Big Green Egg wanted to thank their loyal customers who regularly chatted and shared recipes and experiences. This resulted in the Annual EGGtoberfest, which is held in October in Atlanta. The success of this event has since sparked the interest of "EGGheads," Big Green Egg devotees who share an unbridled passion and enthusiasm for the product. Today, there is a growing number of EGGfests that are held across the nation throughout the summer months.
Mountain High Appliance is proud to be chosen to host the Colorado EGGfest outside of their main showroom at 1130 Pine Street in Louisville.
For those who sign up before August 3rd, tickets are only $15 per person or $20 per couple; children under the age of 12 are free. Tickets are available at the door for $20 per person or $30 per couple. To register online, please visit www.mountainhighappliance.com/colorado-eggfest/. Contact Barbara at 303-951-0524 or email@example.com for more information.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to support the Sister Carmen Community Center, a Family Resource Center servicing East Boulder County. For those who bring a non-perishable or canned food donation, an extra raffle ticket will be entered for a chance to win a variety of culinary delights! Items that the Sister Carmen Community Center is most in need of includes canned tuna, canned chicken, canned fruit, juice, baby formula and canned/boxes pastas.
In the early 1970s, Ed Fisher first tasted incredibly moist and flavorful food prepared in an Oriental kamado cooker. Fisher instantly knew this was a special product and came up with an idea for a charcoal-fueled barbecue grill based on the ancient cooking concept. He envisioned it being versatile enough to grill, smoke and bake. His new grill was shaped like a large egg and he was inspired to paint it green and give it a whimsical and memorable name that he thought would ensure consumer appeal and assist in marketing the new product — The Big Green Egg. He began selling the unusual barbecue from a small store in a suburban Atlanta shopping center.
Thirty years and a million EGGs later, the product is still largely sold by the philosophy of "seeing (and in this case, tasting) is believing." Individual product demos and word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied owners are still at the core of Big Green Egg's success. "It is rather amazing that we've been able to take a cooking concept virtually unknown in the U.S. and catapult it to one of the most talked-about grilling and smoking products in the country."
Why the Big Green Egg? "Fantastic food anytime," Fisher says simply. "The Big Green Egg is so well insulated and practically impervious to the elements that even in cold, windy or rainy weather you can still grill, roast, bake or smoke in it. And the results are moister, juicier and more flavorful than anything you could ever achieve on a gas grill or even a metal charcoal grill."

With this trend, you may start out with an appliance, which is a traditional item, however, you would install it in a unique way that would result in solving a large design challenge. For example, this kitchen had many inflexible obstacles of plumbing, venting, and openings, which were not to be moved.
The solution was to have fridge drawers integrated and incorporated into the sleek and clean lines of the cabinetry and the overall space. Where the sink plumbing used to be there is now a steam oven. The technology in this kitchen is neatly tucked away while offering a solid functional solution to space challenges.
Are you currently looking for a clever way to integrate new appliances into your kitchen?
If put at the end of a kitchen, the appliance wall is very unobtrusive. If you choose to have a tall wall station, it makes efficient use of the kitchen space. However, an appliance wall may not be the best option for some families. For example, if you are remodeling your mountain kitchen to accommodate aging in place, having to reach over head is not recommended.
But it you prefer your kitchen to be more streamlined and create a "work horse" station where all major cooking tasks can be done with the least amount of steps, an appliance wall could be just what you need.
Have questions about what appliances should work best in your home's appliance wall? Stop by the Mountain High Appliance showroom in Louisville, Colorado. One of our experienced sales members will be happy to help you.
So it is not surprising that 28 percent of all homeowners doing these home renovations in 2012 plan on buying appliances, and on average, plan to spend around $705. However, the percentage is higher among affluent homeowners. 34 percent of affluent homeowners doing home improvement in 2012 plan to buy appliances. Their average planned spending budget is $1195.
If you live in the Denver area and are starting plans for your 2012 home improvements, don't forget about the appliances. At Mountain High Appliance in Louisville, Colorado, we can provide you with all the appliances you need no matter what your budget. Stop by the showroom anytime!

NEW YORK (AP) -- Look for flubs tonight on "30 Rock." The episode will air live, just like they did for an episode two seasons ago. The show will air live at 8:30 on the East Coast and the cast will then do another live show at 8:30 Pacific time for the rest of the country. Tina Fey tells Entertainment Weekly that there will be some "very exciting cameos" and the cast will do "things they don't usually get to do."

LOVE these boots Very comfortable. These were given to me as a gift from my daughter. Very warm January 5, 2014
uggs are great they are a great boot sturdy, and warm, and comfortable. December 26, 2013
disappointing I love uggs but I wouldn't recommend the color black. They leave crease marks and you have to be extra careful to not get salt on them in the winter. The color wears out very fast; also, the dye in the inside of the boot dyes your socks. If anything get a color that wouldn't do these things like chestnut. Other then those things uggs are great boots August 11, 2013
Cool and stylish! Always loved the look of uggs and I was super excited when I went to but these! They are so super comfortable and warm. The only issue is with the dyes on the inside will re color your socks! February 26, 2013
ugg boots The boots came as promised. They are warm as the kids told me. Dicks sporting goods was excellent in helping me get the right kind of boot, size and colore. I am very appreciative of their help. January 21, 2013
I Luv Uggs! i just got them 2 hours ago and love them! They are very comfertable! So warm and cozy! December 1, 2012
AMAZING these are amazing boots! I love UGGs! they fit very comfortably and are beautiful! Uggs do run a little big but stay with your size because you do not want them to big or too small. November 25, 2010

Winsted finance director wants to create advisory committee
WINSTED -- Finance Director Robin L. Manuele intends to establish a finance committee to keep the selectmen better informed of the town's financial problems, which could help them come up with solutions.
Manuele told the board Monday night it would be similar to the audit committee and most likely consist of three selectmen and herself. She said it would meet monthly and members would discuss financial information in depth.

Using Acrobat in Writing Classes: Pros and Cons
Pros and Cons of Acrobat Files
This section provides a general comparison of HTML and PDF formats and describes the advantages of using PDF files in writing classes.
Comparing HTML and PDF
are pros and cons of using PDF files as opposed to Web pages. Many of these
advantages and disadvantages are summarized below.
Acrobat documents have many benefits over HTML documents and are excellent tools
to use in classes for the following reasons:
Preserved Format:
of the greatest benefits of PDF over HTML is the ability of Acrobat to preserve
a document's appearance, including fonts. The document can be created in just
about any type of application, then converted to PDF. The formatting is preserved, including color, fonts, mathematical
equations, etc. You can also create forms that preserve their format, unlike
HTML forms, which have limited design possibilities. Acrobat also lets
you view PostScript documents on-screen. This feature provides easy access to
information that currently exists in PostScript format, such as newsletters and
brochures. Because
the formatting is preserved, students can view samples of good document
design, including color.
and Graphics Formats: PDF files may be generated from almost any
kind of file: word processors, page layout programs databases and spreadsheets.
You can also scan documents or images. Acrobat supports images such as BMP, GIF,
JPEG, PCX, PICT, PNG, or TIFF file formats. The graphics are maintained as part
of the document, unlike Web pages.
Independence: Acrobat is
platform-independent; Acrobat Reader is available for Windows, Mac, and UNIX.
Thus faculty can use PDF documents in any computer lab, or students can view
documents at home.
Internet and Browser
Independence: Students do
not necessarily need to be connected to the Internet or have a particular
browser to view PDF files. They only need Acrobat Reader.
Distribution: Acrobat
Reader, available to anyone as a free download, lets you view, navigate, and
print PDF files regardless of the computer, monitor, or software version. You
may make and distribute unlimited copies of the Acrobat Reader software. Because
Acrobat Reader is free, faculty do not have to incur duplicating costs.
To view
sample PDF files, students must thus have Reader and a computer.
Acrobat Reader, students can copy and paste text and graphics to use in other
applications. The Find feature allows readers to search for keywords.

applications. The Find feature allows readers to search for keywords.
Compression: Acrobat
documents are usually smaller than other file formats because PDF uses
compression. If a file is too large, the document can be split into separate
parts for downloading. The files are easier to save and keep for later viewing
than HTML documents. Web pages with frames are especially difficult to save.
Limited Flexibility: On
the other hand, HTML files are often quicker to load from the Web, depending
upon the length of the documents and number of graphics. In addition, Web pages
adjust to the user's monitor; in contrast, PDF documents open at the
magnification specified by the author. Unless they are optimized for online
viewing, PDF documents can also be more difficult to read online. (See
Jakob Nielsen's article Avoid
PDF for On-Screen Reading and Geoff Hart's article The
Trouble With Acrobat.) Readability
on screen is related to the settings used to create the file. You can save for
maximum compression and thus degrade screen quality of images. You can save the
file as an ebook, for print, or for online viewing.

You can save for maximum compression and thus degrade screen quality of images. You can save the file as an ebook, for print, or for online viewing.
Using Acrobat, you can enhance existing or existing PDF files by adding hypertext links, buttons, and Internet links.
Bookmarks and thumbnails also allow readers to
navigate the document. For example, bookmarks can show the hierarchical
outline of the document.
Acrobat documents can contain multimedia (movies and sound). Thus documents can
be more interactive, and you can add oral commentary.
Security: You can lock a document with password protection,
set defaults for page size and the tools visible, and add digital signatures.
students or colleagues have Acrobat and proper permission, they can add
annotations to the document. Acrobat also contains highlighting and rubber stamp
tools. These collaboration tools can be used to edit files in groups. Faculty
can also use this feature to grade/comment on student work.
Electronic Distribution: PDF files can be distributed electronically: by e-mail, CD-ROM, disk, network, or the Web. Because PDF files are an excellent way to distribute teaching materials electronically, they can be used to support distance learning courses. Students can simply download the PDF file. PDF files also print correctly on any printing device.
Important Technology:
Adobe Acrobat publishing is used in many organizations. Thus faculty can also
use PDF documents as an opportunity to teach students about this technology.
of the biggest advantages of PDF files is using them as sample documents,
reference materials, and a means to distribute course materials. Textbooks
are usually limited in the types of documents they provide. Documents are often
not up-to-date, and lengthy documents, such as manuals, are not incorporated. In
addition, there are copyright and cost issues involved in printing, duplicating,
and distributing handouts to use in class. Using custom printed workbooks
requires extensive lead-time: getting permissions and submitting materials to a
printing service. In contrast, most PDF documents are free to obtain and to

Image and Imagination in African Art
A Pair of Ritual Pounders
Ivory Coast, Senufo People
(71.141 a and b)
Gift of Edward Merrin
The power and beauty of African art in this small exhibition reveals some of the richness and imagination of a multi-cultured continent and its people. The works - figures, weights, masks, a pair of ritual pounders, and headcrests - were not made for decoration or as works of art. Instead they were woven into people's daily lives, or used as ceremonial objects. A carved wooden door from the Ivory Coast served as a display of wealth and social status.

Out with irishcaile, scriptrhythm, and Lil'Kate on a geocaching adventure to Sandy's Lake House on Lake Wisconsin.After a fantastic lunch with our fantastic hosts, we got the chance to take a pontoon boat ride out to this little island. Otter Box, check! No wet iphone for me!We made our way to the island, someone had been there not long before, the campfire was still smouldering. Smokey the Bear would not be pleased!I wandered off from the group, my GPSr was leading me to another part of the island. Unfortunately, it was the wrong part of the island, as I heard a "whoop" come from my left!We signaled to the boat that we were ready to be picked up, and while our day of geocaching was done, there was tubing ahead of us!Thanks for the 5/5 and TFTC!
