Seattle area No. 9 for 'young, broke and single'June 21, 2013 @ 8:01 am (Updated: 10:27 am - 6/21/13 )
There are perfect cities for just about every group including "young, broke and single" according to a new survey by advice website MoneyUnder30.
The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area was ranked No. 9 and the curious, northern point of an "entrepreneurial/high-tech triangle that includes Portland and Bend."
The site conducted a national survey to reveal the top cities that offer young professionals the best employment opportunities, lowest cost of living, and highest number of singles between the ages of 18 and 44.
Here are the cities that emerged in the top 10 and what helped put them on the list:
1. Austin, Texas: Rents are low comparable to other big cities, there are estimates of some 530 bars and restaurants, and unemployment is low at 5.1 percent.
2. Salt Lake City, Utah: The city boasts "mild winters and toasty summers" and is "one of the top places for gays to reside," according to MoneyUnder 30.
3. Durham, N.C.: It's known as the "City of Medicine" and has also appeared on Forbes list of America's Best Cities for Young Professionals.
4. Columbus, Ohio: It's home to Ohio State University, the nation's largest college campus.
5. Baton Rouge, La.: Louisiana State University is in this city, which features mild weather (the average high for January is 61 degrees), and has appeared in other surveys as a top-ranked place for young adults.
6. Omaha, Neb.: It features "a very cool music scene," a revitalized downtown, and diversified employment base.
7. New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La.: The area has earned the nickname "Hollywood South;" it's home to Tulane University, and boasts a thriving oil industry and world famous enertainment and restaurants.
8. Des Moines-West Des Moines, Iowa: It has a low 5.8 percent unemployment rate and Forbes has ranked it as a "Best Place for Business" and among "America's Best Cities for Young Professionals."
9. Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash.: It's "got a healthy overabundance of coffee shops," is home to businesses like Microsoft, and has become the "focal point of an entrepreneurial/high-tech triangle that includes Portland and Bend to the south."
10. Oklahoma City, Okla.: It averages a yearly temperature of 72 degrees, has a growing population, and strong employment bases in the energy industry and federal government.

Does God Make Mistakes? - page 6
I looked up at the doctor across the crib who is still hovering over him and checking his ventilator and trachea. Wildly he flailed as the doctor touched his abdomen. I tried to calm him by holding his hand. This is the first... Read More
- 2Jul 22, '09 by PatricParamedicI think those of us with life science in our backgrounds, ought have no problem recognizing there certainly are biological errors, and they are spawned by the millions everyday of the year.
Natural flaws can be seen in cornfields (conjoined cobs are about 1:100,000) as well as that certain, well-known actress with 12 toes. (Yes, she uses foot-doubles when needed)
Does God Make Mistakes is truly a touching story, and no right-thinking one of us could rightly condescend to the nurse who authored it: That is an honest question and it comes from the heart.
I've reached the point after 30 years where I believe this: The Lord started the ball rolling, and as the Creator, he or she is the Producer of our movie. But he/she leaves the Direction & the Acting, the Soundtrack & the Lyrics, the Successes & the Outtakes - to us.
After 12,200 emergency patient tragedies, I see no sign whatsoever of Divine intervention. I see humanity fumbling along, trying to make sense of it all. Heaven & Hell? Sure. They are right here with us. Likely not some invisible Nirvana in the sky.
- 2Jul 22, '09 by cardiacRN2006Quote from ChapisThat's because I'm not clear. My previous post was't me being snotty. What if I believe both or none? I can't really decide.Sorry, just curious, as with your posts it wasn't clear to me which way you were leaning on, so that's why I asked.
That's why I'm agnostic, and not atheist...
- 1Jul 22, '09 by MaritesaRNQuote from cardiacRN2006Well, I was obviously responding to something else, not to someone who experienced 6 miscarriages.
So what's right, good, or bad?
Why do I have to offer an alternative to God? Why is that my job?
I'm mearly saying, how on earth is a perfect God someone who allows the things he allows?
And while the OP story had 6 miscarriages, still borns, etc, some crack ****** is spitting out kids that are unwanted, uncared for, and probably being abused, starved or mistreated.
Who learns from that? I mean, really?
Do you know what I've learned from my battle from infertility? I didn't learn anything good, that's for damn sure. I didn't learn compassion or kindness. Nope. That's not what that battle taught me.
I learned bitterness. But, I suppose that will be described as 'my choice' or 'my fault' or 'man's fault' or pollution, or vanity, etc, etc.
Whatever it takes to justify an all powerful, kind god. Let's blame the world, but allow a god that allows suffering, cruelty, pain, etc..all to teach us something! How perfect!
I really truly feel your pain, because I have been there and could happen again to me. Yes, I too have asked those questions...I struggle with it everytime. When I hear and see on tv of children kidnapped and brutally murdered by some sick and deranged person----------I personally would like to punish these perverts , and I would make them scream for a never ending pain ! Why does God allow this? Why does God allow us to make a choice? Unfortunately there are those people that should not have any privileges of making a choice, because they are sick in the mind and in their heart and they choose to hurt others especially the innocent children-------------so what may be a solution ? Maybe we can make a choice of a stricter laws for sexual perverts containment, an after school safe place for kids ...........etc. we can have the choice of doing something about it concrete to minimize or eradicate this sick perversion . Maybe we should shoot these perverts in the public plaza for all to see...... But this is me and still struggling and will be with a lot of things. I think a lot of us is in the same boat with this.................................. but the worse scenario is getting mad at God , for this is the time I need Him more than ever! It helps when I pray and talke to Him....for truly I bleive He hears me...........I just do not understand as to how He works.Last edit by Silverdragon102 on Jul 22, '09 : Reason: quote edited as original edited
- 4Jul 22, '09 by merrywhiteroseGods do not exist. Get real! Nature makes mistakes. As a mother that has had a child born with severe deformities, I know it is selfish to keep a child alive so they can suffer. The child has no future, and will never live with any kind of quality of life. I agree with the doctor. Ending the child's suffering would be the best thing for this child, and the family. The family needs to move on with their life.
- 3Jul 22, '09 by sirI, MSN, APRN, NP AdminAdministration is respectfully asking that all religious debate about the existence or not of God and/or if God makes mistakes, cease.
The title of this beautifully written article is, "Does God Make Mistakes?", and is a title only, not an invitation to debate.
If you wish to continue this discussion, you may start a new thread in the Ethics, Philosophy and Religion forum, or post on this thread already in existence: http://allnurses-central.com/ethics-...er-384096.html

- 2Jul 22, '09 by Navy/College Momamen, praise god!! beautifully written, thank you for reminding us that, 'faith is the subtance of things hoped for & the evidence of things not seen.'
- 3Jul 22, '09 by nurseatrest1963This story was told very well, even showing your change of heart took courage...Not everyone is capable of taking good care of special needs children...it is often totally heart breaking...whether the child was born this way or something traumatic caused the disease state. Often a mother or fathers heart is the only real connection that you can "actually see", like a window to the childs heart/soul...Have you ever worked with a closed head injured pt...and wondered whether there was anyone in there, and months later they actually woke up!? Its amazing, and totally unexpected, yet it does happen...Medicine is amazing, its Gods gift, and His grace, His hope applied to our lives ...but...we are only PRACTICING medicine, as nurses etc...We are His healing hands, His touch, His hug, that can be passed on from person to person...Over the yrs (or even only months)...how many miracles have you taken place in....have you assisted in a birth? WOW!! Have you held someones hand, or just sat with someone through the dying process...It is just really hard for me to believe that some big bang happened and all the cells lined up and poof, a human was created ...over time...yeah right...everything is essentially made out of the same ole stuff, and yet, one is a human, another a dog, and another a plant...hmm I just can't wrap my mind around that...My answer, my hearts belief is that there is a God..whatever you call your creator...its all about faith..we get too smart for our britches (I know, kind of hick sounding--but you get my drift), and all of a sudden we question our very existence...I honestly don't know where all this came from....I had a grandchild who lived a little less than an hour...the Dr...(the so called specialist) wanted my grand daughter to be born vaginally, so that it woud quicken her death...was suppose to be "MORE HUMANE" The actual birth would probably cause her to be stillborn..During a "cheating" ultrasound to find out whether my grandbaby was a boy or girl (small town hospital---friend did an ultrasound)...the Small town Dr. was called in on a sunday Dr. M came into the hospital off of the tractor in his cowboy boots/jeans..and helped us understand what the ultrasound tech saw...My grand daughter had an omphalocele...and would need a specialized ultrasound, and specialist to determine what our next moves should be...He was kind and gave us hope...Until the specialist informed us that "IT WAS NOT VIABLE"...My daughter knew that didn't sound good, and I became well...Ticked off immediately...I let the Dr. know he needed to explain to my daughter what he meant, and that he better find his compasionate side while doing so!! Anyway, my grand daughter had Pentology of Cantrel...and a multitude of abnormalties. The Dr told us she had 3 days to decide to abort it!....My daughter told him right then and there that her baby girls life was in Gods hands, and chose to carry her...surpisingly Justina went to almost full term...was born 4pounds 13oz, blonde hair, ....(sorry I am jumping around)...when my daughter went into labor the Dr/Specialist said she needed to deliver vaginally it was best for the baby! Yeah, RIGHT...we knew she was malformed, with severe scoliosis, etc (sort of fused bent like a L shape,) her intestines were on the outside, as well as her heart, she only had a partial diaphragm, her lungs were incomplete...and they said a vaginal birth would be best (so that she would suffer less!!)...They were making my daughter labor, on top of everything else, I thought this was so unfair...labor is suppose to have a wonderful outcome...why go through it when there is so little chance...and why tear a baby apart while traveling through the birth canal!!! What's fair about that..to die in birth...not to mention that my daughter was still young, and wanted more than anything in life to be a "mother"..and what the Dr. proposed posed a serious danger to my daughter..and her chances of having children again...He suggested that a C-section was a high risk too...(He didn't know I was a surgical nurse, who assisted in C-sections)Anyway, I went over his head...my daughter had a c-section and my grand daughter was born! She lived less than an hour...I held her, and literally watched her little heart beat, and her lungs take their breaths...she gave it her best shot...but grandma sung to her, and held her, until Jesus took her in His loving arms...My daughter had a chance to meet her daughter, and to say goodbye. This was yrs ago..could she have lived today with intervention? Maybe..but Gods grace was sufficient...Is this all why now yrs later I have changed directions once again and find myself working with special needs children...I enjoy seeing the smiles/and facial expressions these children have...the light that shines in their eyes when they recognize their family, and yes, even their nurse! I know someone is in there...how much they understand, how far they will go in life...isn't up to me. I can't control any of that, but I can control portions of their health. I can give them good care, with Love and tenderness, laughter and joy...isn't that what we all need....(by the way--if you are taking care of a child, and they are not being cared for properly, is CPS involved? Or is it a situation where alls you can do is your best, whether it be in their home, or institution they all deserve our best...if you can't give loving care then maybe its time for a change. God Bless all those that give their best for these truly special children (and adults)!

If there is one person in the world who can party in a knee length floral dress with sleeves and still look cool, it's Taylor Swift. The pop-country singer proves just that in this blink and you'll miss it teaser for We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. In her first single off Red, Swift's upcoming fourth studio album, Taylor sings about moving on from a yo-yo relationship, deciding once and for all to not get back together with an ex.
Always one to write about personal experiences, Taylor has left fans guessing the subject of her song is ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal after Swift used a picture of the actor in her promo for this year's MTV VMAs with comedian and host Kevin Hart. Gurl, you never, ever, close the Gyllenhaal door.
The full video for We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together drops later this week, while Red is set to be released on October 22nd this year. Watch Taylor Swift perform during the 2012 MTV VMAs on September 6th at 8 pm ET on MUCH.

Ohio's No. 3 Typical by Blackpowder
By Ed B. Waite Jr.
Working second and third shifts as an aircraft mechanic, Kenny Pickard has plenty of time to indulge his passion for deer hunting. And the man from Wilmington, Ohio, did a lot of it in 2006, all because of some photographs he collected from a trail camera.
"I had eight pictures of this huge Typical, starting in August when it was in full velvet. The other seven photos all came in October, so I knew it was staying close," he said. "I had been real quiet about this buck. It was even more impressive than an almost 190-inch Irregular I arrowed back in 2004. I didn't even tell Chad, my good friend.
"I worried that if word got out, someone might try to poach it," he continued.
But one day after the bow season had opened, Chad's wife, Nickie, saw the deer and told her husband about it.
"Chad came to me and made me 'fess up," Kenny laughed. "That's when the photos came out. Chad and I have been buddies since childhood, growing up on adjacent farms. He couldn't believe that I'd kept the secret for so long."
Kenny hunted the deer passionately throughout the early bow season, but he never got close enough to it. Then, one evening, the huge buck exited the bedding area with a smaller 9-pointer in tow. The duo headed for a nearby bean field. And when they were about 75 yards out, Kenny tried rattling.
"The 9-pointer came right to the bottom of my stand, but the other one stood its ground," Kenny said. "The old buck seemed to know that it was the biggest deer in the woods and didn't have to prove it."
Kenny was back in the saddle on the first day of gun season. He heard a lot of shooting, but none of it close.
Before daylight the following Tuesday, Kenny was 25 feet aloft in a rickety treestand he'd built a long time ago, gripping his scoped .50-caliber Remington inline. The wind was light and blowing out of the southwest - perfect for that stand, which overlooked a thin strip of woods between two very thick bedding areas.
"Just after daylight, four deer entered the bean field from the bedding area to my west, which is where I suspected the big buck was holed up. As the deer came toward me, I recognized one as being the big one. It, a 6- and a 4-pointer were following a hot doe," Kenny said.
"The big one was far more interested in keeping the two smaller bucks from stealing the doe than anything else. It kept herding them away from her," he added.
Kenny knew that with the direction of the wind, it would be only a matter of minutes before the doe would be downwind, scent him and ruin his chances. So, with the deer too far out to notice, he chose a more proactive strategy.
"I got out of the tree as fast I could," he explained. "Then, half crouched, I ran due south - away from the doe - to the edge of another field. I had more than 100 yards of thick woods between me and the deer, so I made good time. I followed a fence line to the east corner, and then turned north, following a manmade waterway to the upper corner of the woods."
All in all, Kenny covered about 400 yards in order to get ahead of the moving deer.
The hunter was still breathing hard from the exertion when the doe appeared at 25 yards. Forty yards behind her was the trio of bucks. As soon as he acquired the big buck in his scope, he squeezed the trigger.
"The fleeing buck was carrying one leg high, so I knew I'd hit it," Kenny said. "But I still reloaded as fast as I could, just in case another shot was needed."
"I watched it run a half circle out to perhaps 150 yards before turning back toward me. As it was going up the rising slope of the cornfield, it slowed down and just collapsed," he continued.
As soon as he'd reloaded, Kenny was surprised when he turned and saw the doe - still standing 25 yards away and gaping. The 6-pointer had vanished, but the forkhorn was oblivious, still more interested in the doe than the muzzleloader's blast.
While standing over the buck, Kenny telephoned Chad at work, something he never does.
"You got him, didn't you?" Chad answered.
The next call was to Kenny's dad, who arrived in short order to help load it. His mom came, too.

Feb 10, 2014 8:33 PM
STOCKHOLM (AP) - Officials at the Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark say they received death threats after the zoo killed a 2-year-old giraffe and fed its remains to lions.
Zoo spokesman Tobias Stenbaek Bro said Monday that he and the zoo's scientific director, Bengt Holst, received several threats over the telephone and in emails. They quoted one email as saying: "The children of the staff of Copenhagen Zoo should all be killed or should get cancer."
The giraffe, Marius, was killed Sunday using a bolt pistol, then skinned and fed to lions in front of visitors, including children.
The killing triggered a wave of online protests and debate about zoo conditions.
The zoo said it killed Marius to prevent inbreeding, and it defended the public feeding as a display of scientific knowledge about animals.

Lowest cost Home Run – Fieldbus or wireless?
Wireless is being proposed as the easiest and lowest cost way to install additional infrastructure between a field device and the control system when the home run cable is 'full.' Unfortunately, this is not true since as the title implies another alternative exists and that alternative can be used in...
Mobile Communications & GDP
The cover story in "The Economist" (392: #8650) focuses on how new communications technologies are beneficially transforming developing countries. One interesting statistic in the is that the study claims for every 10 mobile phones introduced per 100 people boosts growth in GDP per person by 0.8 percentage points.
Automation's Impact
The following figure came courtesy of Larry O'Brien at Automation Research Corporation and demonstrates how an investment in automation and control systems during the capital phase of a project can have a disproportionate impact (at least 5 times greater) on the profitability of a facility during its operating life.

National Pancake Day
Fluffy, warm and drizzled with syrup.
"The pancakes are buttery and fantastic and they melt in your mouth," Stephanie Denard, customer, said.
"There were free pancakes at IHOP.
And over a thousand customers crammed into the restaurant to get a stack.
"You say free pancakes and they come running," Tony Pignone, manager, said.
But all those customers equals a lot of pancakes.
"I've probably made about 3000 so far," one chef said.
And it's all for a good cause.
Customers made donations to the Children's Miracle Network... and managers say they expect to raise a lot of money.
"My box is full of lots of money, not a lot of rattling, lots of big bills. People are giving a lot this year," Pignone said.
Customers waited in line for almost an hour, but it's a win-win for everyone... Pancake-lovers get to enjoy some buttery goodness.
while donating to a good cause.
"It's to get people here, that's what the short-stack is. But once they're here, it's granted they're going to give," Grace Stack, customer, said.

Neal Creek Residence by Paul McKean
Architect Paul McKean has sent us the Neal Creek residence he designed, which is a rural vacation home located near Hood River, Oregon.
From the architect:
The Neal Creek residence treads lightly upon its surroundings, maximizing valley and water views with minimal impact to the natural environment. The owners – windsurfing and snowboarding enthusiasts – were interested in a modest weekend retreat that would be highly efficient and ecologically minded. Their wooded two-acre parcel of land presented many unique challenges including wetlands, creek protection setbacks, and floodplain restrictions. The design solution for the two-bedroom house addresses these issues by elevating the habitable space one full floor above grade. Views to the creek are enhanced from this position and the living spaces float within the tree tops. Lifting the main space protects the house from potential flooding and brush fire damage while making way for a covered outdoor patio and much needed gear storage below. At the uppermost level, the roof has been sized and detailed to allow for a future planted roof that will replace the landscape lost to the building footprint and reduce heat gain to the interior spaces.

More description from the architect:
Material selections have been made that include mostly local, renewable, recyclable and natural building products. Renewable materials include west coast cedar siding and wood framing, cabinetry and an FSC certified wood floor with a vegetable wax finish. Natural wool and rubber carpet tiles in the bedrooms can be easily replaced if damaged. The TPO roof can be recycled after its long life, protected by the planted eco roof. All interior finishes are no VOC applications. A Solatube skylight provides natural daylight into bathroom. High efficiency windows and wood screens are placed to maximize daylight and views, as well as protect against summer heat gains
System selections have been made that are energy efficient, durable and healthy to its occupants. A rainscreen wall system will safeguard the wall assembly from moisture intrusion and subsequent mold problems, as well as guarantee a longer life for the cedar siding. Dual flush toilets and low flow fixtures reduce domestic water consumption. An Advantex, dual stage septic system protects creekside soil quality and provides digital, off site monitoring of waste water quality.
The project was completed after 11 months of construction, on budget.
The house is available as a vacation rental – here.

I like this, it has a nice warmth to it rather than just another cold sterile box. I would, however, like to have decking around the building on the 2nd level to open the house up a bit more to the outside. Also to stop the shipping container on legs look.

This is the type of "cabin" I would build. It's definitely a weekend place and a damn fine one at that.

Wow, this is exactly how I would build my summer/weekend place. But I would like to see some more storage space for groceries in the kitchen, since we are a hungry family…

That is the most beautiful mobile home I've ever seen.

Having spent a week there, I can say it's a great little house but needs to be picked up and moved to a decent location…

Field Services – "Committed to Serve"
Stories from the Field
Henry's Big Adventure Ends at Home
Our Services:
Click here (pdf) to file an animal-related complaint.
Our Programs
Animal Care and Control is responsible for the enforcement of city and county ordinances and state laws pertaining to animals, primarily domestic. These include licensing and vaccination requirements as well as stray animal, dangerous/vicious, and nuisance provisions. In addition, the animal control officer plays a lead role in the enforcement of cruelty regulations. Animal Care and Control provides animal control services throughout the unincorporated areas of Sonoma County, and within the city of Santa Rosa and the town of Windsor.
Duties and Priorities
In determining enforcement priorities, several factors are taken into consideration such as public safety, animal safety and available resources. The following is a list of some of those services provided by enforcement staff that are considered priorities:
Dangerous and Vicious Animal/Bites: Immediately responding to reports that an animal has either bitten a person or is menacing the public.
Animal Cruelty: Checking on the health and well being of animals reportedly being neglected or physically abused.
Responding to Requests for Service: Assisting other agencies in impounding or identifying the location of dangerous or vicious animals; enforcing animal-related ordinances; investigating complaints (PDF: 58k) (leash law, noise), impounding stray and surrendered animals; and providing customer assistance and service.
Patrolling for Stray Animals: Impounding stray animals before they can become a threat to the residents of Sonoma County or to themselves on the streets or neighborhoods.
Public Education: Taking a proactive approach in teaching and encouraging responsible pet ownership. Promote the importance of the leash law, population growth, and pet licensing through a combination of enforcement and education. Gaining voluntary compliance is the goal of any effective enforcement program. In order to achieve this, the public must be knowledgeable not only of ordinances but of the consequences of noncompliance as well. Information regarding animal care and maintenance is available from the Animal Control Officer.
Performance Measures
One of Animal Care and Control's top priorities is to attempt to reduce animal related violations and achieve an increase in voluntary compliance. This goal will be achieved by vigorous enforcement, public education and positive reinforcement for responsible pet owners who abide by the law.

The email we sent today to registered Blurbarians says it all:
Fellow Blurbarians,
Thanks for sharing. Seriously. The number one request from our current beta has been to enable more font support for Blurb books. Second request – full bleed dust jackets. Third – better performance, please.
Good news. All that and more is now available in our latest BookSmart™ beta upgrade, 1.3. Here are a few highlights:
- Use any font on your computer
- Full bleed covers
- New, vertical book format – great for more text intensive books
- Four new cookbook themes
In addition to all these new features, we've improved the general performance (especially text handling) and fixed a bunch of things along the way. We feel so good about all this that we've composed a little haiku to commemorate the occasion:
Cover bleeds to edge
So many typeface choices
Upgrade BookSmart now
Finally, did we mention that you'll need this latest version for new book orders? If you've got a book in the works, no worries. Just download BookSmart to either your Mac or PC, and install on your computer as before. Your book in progress as well as any older books will not be affected in any way. (Note to Mac users: You'll need to overwrite the old copy of BookSmart.)
We hope you enjoy this new release. And keep those emails and letters coming.
See you in print, soon.
Your friends,
The Blurberati
Today, new BookSmart beta. Tomorrow, a Blurb.com upgrade. We can't promise this much excitement every week.
Tell us what you think and keep those great suggestions coming. Maybe one of your tips will make it into the next release of BookSmart.

The scenes around the island of corfu alone are breathtaking - that, coupled with the excellent acting of hannah gordon and brian blessed (i was nearly crying with laughter at times) makes this one to watch. The series follows very closely to the story in his book. Apart from the wildlife that would seem to be his family, the series goes very indepth at geralds facination with the wildlife of the island and animals in general. I sugest that this is a dvd that everyone should own.

I've been meaning to trash my myspace profile, but felt the nagging feelings of missing out and loosing touch. After stumbling onto 43 things, after I googled something about locals and San Francisco, I understand what I must do. I must let my boring myspace friends know that I am moving on to the land of the plenty. I feel that I have been living in a tuna can and failed to realize I was experiencing severe muscle cramp. I will detail the limits of myspace to them through My Bulletin, My Blog, and embed my message in profile information like: About Me, Who I'd Like to Meet, Orientation, etc. Someone seriously needs to give a cheer.
drpekoe's Life List
1. build a dollhouse.
1 entry . 1 cheer
58 people
2. learn how to garden
65 people
3. send a last farewell and get rid of my lame myspace profile
1 entry
1 person
what are the psychological implications behind dollhouses and miniatures? why does a miniature replica of a phone, sandwich or book leave one with a sense of awe? which is more magical: to eat an apple at my normal size or to eat an apple as a dollhouse inhabitant? when I see dollhouses I imagine myself, mouse-sized, walking and living in this world and I am instantly intrigued. but, wouldn't it just be like this world, only smaller and a bit on the flimsy side? I could punch through walls much easier and all fruit would taste like wax. No, no, no! In this world your neighbors could be fairies, historical characters, mice, bugs, etc. The possibilities are endless here, because even though you are made of a bit of glue, clay and cloth, you come alive quite easily once you move into a dollhouse.

Manufacturing activity in the central Atlantic region stalled in July after firming somewhat in June, according to the Richmond Fed's latest survey. The index of overall activity was pushed lower as growth in new orders and shipments edged into negative territory. Employment, however, continued to grow but at a pace below June's rate. Other indicators also suggested softer activity. District contacts reported that backlogs and capacity utilization fell further, but noted that delivery times and raw material goods inventories grew at a somewhat quicker pace.
Looking forward, manufacturers were generally sanguine in July, though their optimism was somewhat less rosy than last month. Survey contacts at an increasing number of firms anticipated that their shipments, new orders, and capital expenditures would grow more slowly in coming months. In contrast, they expected backlogs of orders to grow more quickly.
Survey assessments of current prices revealed that current prices of both raw materials and finished goods grew at a slower rate in July than a month ago. However, respondents indicated that during the next six months they expected prices for both raw materials and finished goods to grow more quickly than what they had anticipated last month.
In July, the seasonally adjusted composite index of manufacturing activity — our broadest measure of manufacturing — declined four points to −1 from June's reading of 3. Among the index's components, shipments was unchanged at −1, while new orders dropped five points to finish at −5, and the jobs index moved down ten points to 4.
Other indicators were also mostly weak. The index for capacity utilization lost four points to −6 and the backlogs of orders edged down seven points to end at −18. In contrast, the delivery times index picked up four points to 8, while our gauges for inventories were mixed in July. The finished goods inventory index trimmed six points in July to end at 17, while the raw materials inventories index added two points to finish at 18.
Hiring activity at District plants was mixed in July. The manufacturing employment index dropped ten points to 4, while the average workweek index added one point to 0. Moreover, wage growth edged higher, gaining one point to finish at 10.
Respondents in the current survey were slightly less optimistic about their business prospects over the next six months. The index of expected shipments decreased eight points to end at 35, and the volume of new orders index fell four points to 40. The capacity utilization and vendor lead time indicators each edged down one point to 30 and 6, respectively. Readings for planned capital expenditures lost six points to finish at 16, while backlogs picked up six points to end at 25.
District manufacturers' intentions to expand hiring weakened somewhat in July. The expected manufacturing employment index declined eight points to end at 14, and the average workweek indicator slipped two points to 13. Moreover, the index of expected wages held steady at 30.
District manufacturers reported that raw materials prices increased at an average annual rate of 3.41 percent in July — down somewhat from their 4.53 forecast in June. Finished goods prices rose at a 1.18 percent pace — somewhat below June's reading of 1.94 percent.
Looking ahead, respondents expected that the prices they pay will advance at a 4.35 percent pace, somewhat higher than June's reading of 3.41 percent. Additionally, contacts looked for finished goods prices to increase at a 2.97 percent annual rate, slightly above last month's expected rate of 1.93 percent.

After taking Brett Leveridge's Humor Writing course, Peter Scallion has had his work accepted by McSweeney's and Reader's Digest.
Peter had come up with a list of anxiety medications for an assignment in Brett's course. Brett suggested he submit it to McSweeney's. After New Anxiety Medications For Coping With Economic Gloom was posted, an editor from Reader's Digest read it and e-mailed Peter asking if he wanted to submit the material to the magazine. Peter was both flattered and flabbergasted.
Says Peter, "It's an example of what Brett was telling us: Sometimes it takes the right person to read your stuff and present you with an opportunity."
Currently, Peter is putting together a blog called "The Scallion-The Leaner, Greener Onion."
Peter says, "It's a satirical news site modeled after that brilliantly funny publication."

Avalanches for Dummies is an article about Homer, a certified crash test dummy who has been utilized in engineering tests to determine what exactly happens to a human body inside an avalanche.
Author Andrea Clark remembers pitching the idea to High Country News after taking Jay Cooke's Travel Writing Boot Camp.
"After I took Travel Writing Boot Camp, I understood that an emailed rejection is a type of acceptance, so I would write editors back until I came up with an idea they liked."
Andrea has forged a relationship with High Country News through various assignments such as "Avalanche for Dummies" and would like to keep pursuing freelance work with other magazines.
"I became a lot more confident of a freelancer after I took the mediabistro course and began querying magazines about freelance ideas," says Andrea. "I also came to understand the idea of slanting a story. A general idea is usually not specific enough. Pitching the story is half the battle."

After taking Jane Black's "Breaking into Food Writing" course at mediabistro, food lover Zena Polin's recent article, "Sol Food" published in the Washington Flyer has her savoring the taste of success.
"I never would have had gotten the commission with The Washington Flyer without mediabistro and the freelance marketplace," she said. "That membership was priceless, since the article is just so lovely."
But this is not Zena's first published piece. She is a woman of many trades – managing editor and principal writer of two destination magazines, Visitor St. Kitts and Nevis and Discover St. Kitts, author of two guidebooks, The Other Side of Sydney and The Pub, Club and Grub Guide to Washington, D.C, owner of The Winning Ticket, a public relations, marketing and communications firm that specializes in food, restaurants, travel and lifestyle clients, and she also writes a food and wine column in Dollhouse magazine.
Having taken several other mediabistro courses with Barbara Martin, Karen Shallet, and Kristin Harmel, she says "…All of them have inspired me to write and convinced me that editors are approachable, whether you are doing public relations or sending pitches. They helped humanize the process."

Dino Vigo always knew he was destined to be a comedian. As a high school counselor for kids on probation, he just wasn't sure how he was going to fulfill his dream; that is until he signed up for Alan Cross's Writing Comedy for TV course. Vigo's comedy journey was about to begin.
Now a professional stand-up comedian, Dino has performed in nearly every comedy club in New York including Carolines, Comix, Laugh Factory, Stand Up NY, Laugh Lounge, Gotham and Comic Strip.
Says Dino, "Alan not only taught us the craft of comedy writing but showed us how to get work. He referred me to several writing jobs, suggested I take an improv class and even got me a spot in a McDonald's commercial."
As someone who has performed all over New York, he claims it's always a different experience anywhere he goes and that you shouldn't ever think about money because it's not there.
Says Dino, "You have to really want it; be prepared to be hurt and have the best experiences. Be prepared to be let down."

Erika Jakubassa has traveled to Argentina, Uruguay, and Puerto Rico. Next is Tuscany, Berlin, The German North Sea Islands, and probably Uruguay again. 2010 will most likely be Morocco. Similarly, she describes the Travel Writing course she took with James Sturz as a traveling experience of its own.
Says Erika, "It was a bit like traveling the world with a very nice and dedicated group of people, and a tour guide who was always encouraging and inspiring, and very giving of his considerable expertise as a travel journalist and writer."
She was sad when the course was over and claimed she had to return to everyday life without that weekly 'fix' of sharing stories and expanding her skills with other travel aficionados.
Says Erika, "The students were a great mix of ages, professional and personal backgrounds, and favorite travel destinations- all in class because they were serious about writing."
Erika offers this advice to travel writers:
"Think about the places you've been to and loved. Start writing about one of them in a way that makes other people able to live your experience through your writing. Send your piece to friends and family for comments. Parallel to that, get to know the market for your writing."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

The latest shot from Brian Dahle's campaign, which will spend the next six weeks harping on Bosetti for having a smidgen of flexibility when it serves his district's interests:
"I don't know how any taxpayer, small business owner, or family can trust what Rick Bosetti says," said Dahle spokesman Tim Clark. "He clearly is trying to attract the Liberal vote by selling out taxpayers. We've seen this plot line before. It means everyone needs to hide their wallets!"
By the way, I tried to get Bosetti yesterday to further explain his logic. His response:
This is a red herring that Dahle and his union buddies have orchestrated. Dahle is being funded by the government unions, he has refused to take a position on prop 32 which is the most significant reform against special interests we've seen in decades, and he has removed the word "conservative" from his signs and from his ballot statement. This guy is a government union puppet and is no conservative.
The tax raiser vs. the government union puppet. Isn't it nice how the new open primary has given candidates incentives to reach out to the other side?

Where did Halloween come from? Can a Christian celebrate it?
by Matt Slick
Halloween is celebrated by millions of people in multiple countries. For most it is a fun time for kids who put on costumes and going door-to-door to get candy. But it is also known as a time of witches, ghouls, goblins, and ghosts. On one hand, some Christians see Halloween as a harmless time of fun and on the other, a ghastly and demonically inspired night that should be avoided.
As Christians, there is a lot of debate on whether or not we should participate in Halloween. Is it alright to go trick-or-treating? Can we dress our kids up in costumes and send them out door-to-door? If we do any of this, are we celebrating an evil holiday?
Halloween's Origins
The word Halloween is derived from the term, "All Hallows Eve," which occurred on Oct. 31. "All Saints Day" or "All Hallows Day" was the next Day, Nov. 1st. Therefore, Halloween is the eve of All Saints Day.
Some say that the origins of Halloween can be traced back to ancient Ireland and Scotland around the time of Christ. On Oct. 31st the Celts celebrated the day because it was when animal herders would move their animals into barns and pens and prepare to ride out the winter. This was also the time of the crop harvests. This annual change of season and lifestyle was marked by a festival called Samhain, pronounced 'sow-ane' (Sow rhymes with cow) which means 'end of summer.'
There was much superstition associated with this time of change, including the belief in fairies and that the spirits of the dead wandered around looking for bodies to inhabit. Since the living did not want to be possessed by spirits, they dressed up in costumes and paraded around the streets making loud noises to confuse and frighten the spirits away. In addition, the new year began for the Celts on Nov. 1. So, the day of Samhain was believed to be a day that was in neither the year past or the year to come. Since it was in between, chaos ruled on that day. Often, people would pull practical jokes on others as a result.
Later, around the 5th century, as the Catholic Church developed and moved into the area, instead of adding a new day to celebrate, it took over the Samhain celebration. Nov. 1st became "All Hallows Day" where all the saints of the Catholic church were honored. Oct 31 was "All Hallows Eve" which became "Halloween". A later custom developed where people would go door-to-door on Nov. 2 requesting small cakes in exchange for the promise of saying prayers for some of the dead relatives of each house. This arose out of the religious belief that the dead were in a state of limbo before they went to heaven or hell and that the prayers of the living could influence the outcome. This may have been the precursor to Trick-or-Treat.
The Jack-O-Lantern apparently comes from Irish folklore about a man named Jack who tricked the devil into climbing a tree. Once the devil was in the tree, Jack carved a cross on the trunk preventing the devil from coming down. The devil then made a deal with Jack not to allow Jack into hell after he died if only Jack would remove the cross from the tree. After Jack died, he couldn't go to hell; and he couldn't go to heaven. He was forced to wander around the earth with a single candle to light his way. The candle was placed in a turnip to keep it burning longer. When the Irish came to America in the 1800's, they adopted the pumpkin instead of the turnip. Along with these traditions, they brought the idea that the black cat was considered by some to be reincarnated spirits who had prophetic abilities.
So, it appears that the origins of Halloween are a mixture of old Celtic pagan rituals superstition and early Catholic traditions.
What does the Bible say about Halloween?
What does the Bible say about Halloween? Nothing. But it does speak concerning witches, the occult, and paganism.
Exodus 22:18, "You shall not let a witch live."
Deut. 18:10-12, "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, 11 or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. 12 Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD..."
The Bible definitely speaks negatively about occultic practices, spirits, and witches and condemns not only the practice but also the people who are involved in it. As Christians, we are to have nothing to do with the occult. Tarot Cards, contacting the dead, séances, lucky charms, etc., are all unbiblical and can harm a Christian's fellowship with God and open the Christian to demonic oppression. Most Christians know this and avoid these activities. But, the question still remains. Since there are ancient pagan connections and modern day occultic connections, what is the Christian to do?
Can the Christian celebrate Halloween?
The answer is simple: Yes and No. Let's look at the negative first.
The Christian is not to be involved with or support the occult, witchcraft, demonism, or any other thing that uplifts the occult. To do so is to contradict God's word, dabble in the demonic, and invite judgment from God. If a Halloween celebration is centered on demons, devils, spirits, etc., I would say don't have anything to do with it.
On the other hand, it isn't wrong to dress up in a costume and go door-to-door saying "Trick or Treat." Provided that the costume isn't demonic, I can't see anything wrong with this. It's just fun for the kids.
Take a look at the Christmas tree. It was originally an ancient fertility symbol. Yet, it has become a representation of Christmas and the place where gifts are placed. Are the Christians then paying homage to an ancient pagan fertility god? Not at all. They do not consider it pagan and are simply joining in a cultural event and giving no honor to anything unscriptural.
Think about this. In the Bible in 1 Cor. 10:23-33, Paul speaks about meat sacrificed to idols. This meat was often sold in the meat market; and the question arose, "Should a Christian each such meat?"
Paul said in verse 25, "Eat anything that is sold in the meat market, without asking questions for conscience' sake." This is most interesting. He says it is okay to eat the meat bought in the market place even though that meat may have been sacrificed to idols.
Then in verses 28-29 he says, "But if anyone should say to you, 'This is meat sacrificed to idols,' do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake; 29 I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?" (NASB). Paul is saying that if you find out the meat was sacrificed to idols, don't eat it--not because of you but because of the other person. In other words, eating that meat won't affect you. But, it may affect the attitude of another who does not understand the freedom the Christian has in Christ.
Is it any different with Halloween (or Christmas)? No. Even though Halloween has pagan origins and because of your freedom in Christ, you and/or your kids can dress up in costumes and go door-to-door and just have fun. However, if you are not comfortable with doing this, then you should not. If you know of a person who would be hindered by doing it, then you shouldn't either.

Attica glass-pile fire 1, EPA 0
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has just admitted failure in its initial attempt to douse persistent, polluting fires deep inside piles of recycled glass at a company in Attica, Wyoming County.
The troublesome glass , which was to be made into road-surface reflectors and sand-blasting media, began arriving at Hillcrest Industries' facility in Attica a year ago. But it hadn't been properly cleaned, and small amounts of beer, soda, and other organic material in the glass pile began to rot and ferment and produce horrid odors that forced neighbors to hide inside their homes with windows closed.
And then parts of the enormous pile of glass began to heat up and catch on fire. The hidden fires have smoldered for weeks, releasing smoke and raising fears of toxic contamination. Some residents say they've been sickened by the air releases at Hillcrest. As the Batavia Daily News reported online today, a few residents have left their homes amid fears of illness and plummeting property values.
State environmental officials got involved but couldn't solve the problem. The EPA stepped in about a week ago, and sought to douse the fire by injecting a fire suppressing agent called F-500, whose properties you can explore here. But the agency said moments ago that that attempt has failed.
Starting Saturday, then, heavy equipment will begin to break up the glass piles so that fire suppression can be brought to bear more directly on areas that are smoldering. The EPA acknowledges that will make things worse, in terms of smoke and soot, at least in the short term.
The full EPA statement is below. Stay tuned for more.
"(Buffalo, New York – Sept. 26, 2012) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently took the lead on responding to the fire inside a 50,000 ton pile of plastic, glass and other materials at the Hillcrest Industries facility in Attica, N.Y. The EPA is working in concert with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Wyoming County and Village of Attica. The EPA's primary goal is to extinguish the fire as quickly as possible. In the past several days, the EPA has overseen the application of a fire suppression agent called F-500 into the piles where the fires are smoldering. This substance is designed to encapsulate and smother the fire by robbing it of oxygen. The EPA has determined that this approach has not been successful in this instance. The EPA has consulted with fire suppression experts and determined that the best method for putting out the fire is to break up the 40 foot high, one acre pile of material into smaller segments and put out the pockets of fire in those sections, extinguishing them with water and, if necessary, foam. This activity is likely to produce some intermittent increases in smoke, steam and odors from the facility.
In order to do the work, heavy equipment will be brought in to dismantle the large pile, and a system will be built to collect water that runs off the smaller piles during fire suppression. In addition, the EPA will set up an air monitoring network both on and off the site and will employ water foggers to help control the temporary increase in smoke as the fires are uncovered. The preparation work will begin immediately and the agency expects to begin breaking up the large pile on Saturday, September 29, 2012.
"The number one priority for the EPA is to put this fire out," said Judith A. Enck, EPA Regional Administrator. "By breaking the piles apart, we can expose the fire and extinguish it in smaller, more manageable sections. While the work is going on, there may be an increase in the smoke and steam coming from the fires and also there may be visible steam or fog from the water misting system that will help us control this increased smoke. I want to assure the community near the site that we are doing everything possible to put this fire out quickly and eliminate any smoke or pollution from being released into the air."
Every effort will be made to minimize the increase in smoke, steam and odors from the facility, but residents nearby may want to keep their windows closed, and children — particularly those who have respiratory ailments — should not play outdoors if there is visible smoke in the area.
The EPA has previously taken samples of air at the request of the DEC. That air sampling resumed this week when the agency took the lead on the response. Results from the first samples taken are being assessed and will be released shortly. Information related to the EPA's efforts and data from the sampling will be posted at http://www.epa.gov/region02/superfund/removal/hillcrest/index.html."

Ewww, I dont know.
Can I pick someone else? I know of someone in the organization that is a genius, and is beloved by everybody on Jazzfanz.
Obviously I'd want Thibs. Or a VG. But that's not the poll here. This poll assumes dumbass Jazz brass hire only one of their own, and would have considered going with Vaughn since he played here for a number of years.
So that said, who the hell voted for Corbin? Will you six morons please stand up?
Is John Starks available?
That just has a badass ring to it all together.
"Utah Jazz Head Coach John Starks", say that in yo Macho Man voice!

sofya.vlasova is now a fan
Davetessaro gave this placeDifferent night outI was visiting my friend at a neighboring university, she is 19 and I am 20, and I was very intent on going to a NYC gay club (that was 18+). I researched very hard online and through grindr and I kept coming up short. Escuelita seemed to be my only option. However everyone kept calling the club trashy, gross, etc. this was discouraging. My friend and I said f*** it and went anyways. We showed up at 11:15 with the text message for the free-before-12 admission into the club. It should be noted that she and I were the only two white people in the line, as the crowd is definitely black and Latino. The line moved at an extremely slow place and we didn't make it to the door until 12:15 , at which point we were charged a $20 cover. Inside there were some hot go go dancers and most of the music playing was hip-hop. The main event was a porn star "phat daddy" who was over-hyped and (for us) not very pleasing on the eyes. The club itself was not trashy AT ALL. The bathroom remained clean throughout the night as each had an attendant who worked for tips, and we had numerous people come up and talk to us. Of the many gay clubs I have been to, I would say this one is one of the friendlier. When we left, the music and the announcer was starting to get a little too loud, however the dj was very good (for the genre) throughout the night.

Another dog hates and attacks my GSD
I have a neighbor from a few houses down who has a terrier, Earnie. He's an awful little monster that they have no control of at all. They bring him by to visit with my next door neighbors golden retriever several times per week. We share a driveway so I cannot avoid this animal. When he sees my dogs, he goes bananas. He's attacked my dogs several times but I've always been able to get my dogs out of the situation.
We also see each other at the park, across the street. Earnie walks with several medium-sized dogs (and their owners, of course) each morning. In the past, that was a neutral grounds where Earnie wouldn't attack but a few weeks ago, he laid into Bruno (my gsd) three or four times until, finally Bruno had had enough and the two of them got into it. I was able to get Bruno off and no blood was drawn. All the while, Earnie's owner was saying, "Earnie, be nice," in the most comforting, pleasant voice imaginable. If it weren't so irritating, if would be hilarious.
I've noticed, since that day, that this group of dog friends now leaves when I enter the park. While I appreciate the courtesy, I'm offended that I cannot socialize with my neighbors because another dog is out of control.
This morning, I encountered this group, in the park. My dogs were leashed and earnie was on a 30 ft rope. That appears to be their new strategy to manage him. He clearly doesn't listen. Earnie waited until they were within range, calm and pleasant, and then he charged. His owner reeled in the rope and dragged him away saying, "earnie, be nice. Let's go play fetch, earnie". Nothing like rewarding bad behavior. My dogs, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm and looked to me for direction. All the other dogs were fine. They all leashed up and left, though.
Earnie seems to be particularly hot for my male GSD but also lashes out at my labs. He pretty much tries to kill any dog he doesn't know and I see his owners struggling with the leash whenever they are crossed by a strange dog. Is there anything I can do to do defuse the aggression?
I guess all you can do is avoid the terrier, it sucks but obviously they do not get it so its up to you.
Earnie's owner is a douche' I could elaborate as to why I believe people such as this allow their dogs to act this way....but what's the point.....
I agree, what else can you do? If the owner isn't going to do anything, and seems to condone this behavior, how far are you willing to go to go with this? I'm certain that cracking an 8' bullwhip would get the dog's attention and keep it back, but your neighbor's are already avoiding you, so being the 'weirdo with the whip' probably won't go over very well, lol. But it would work... :D
Another dog hates and attacks my GSD
:wild: That is ashame that you are being ignored by the other people and that you have to be very careful because the other irresponsible owner does not get it. The park is so close to you also. Wow. Your other neighbours are not talking to you anyway so why not get in touch with your by-law officer. You have just as much right to be out with your dogs as anyone else. Stupid owners of uncontrolled dogs drive me mental. Lol :whistle: Until Keeno is evaluated tomorrow night by a trainer I do not take him out in public. It is not fair on anyone or myself for that matter. :gsdhead: :doggieplayball:
That they have put earnie on a 30 ft lead is a huge improvement from nothing. That they remove him from the situation is probably better than jerking him around. It sounds to me like the situation is getting under control. Unless you want ernie to get to know your dogs (you say he only has a problem with dogs he doesn't know) I think you're doing all you can. Your dogs are not agressing, not reacting poorly. I am not sure I would want to have my dogs "get to know ernie".
Thanks for the thoughts
