Economics Major
Internship with Goldman Sachs, summer 2012
New York City, New York
1. How did you find this internship?
A professor in the business department called my attention to the internship opportunity and suggested I apply.
2. What was the application process like?
The application process was fairly straight forward. They asked for a copy of my resume, as well as requiring me to apply online. A cover letter is not necessary as they receive too many applications to justify spending the resources to read each one.
3. What was the interview process like?
The interview process consisted of four rounds of phone interviews. Each interview was thirty minutes long, and it was common to have two interviews per round. Interviews were a mix of technical and behavioral questions based on the interviewer's personal preference.
4. What did you find most helpful as you were going through this process?
Reaching out to family friends who work in the industry was extremely helpful. Many of them went through the same process when they were first starting out. They were able to give me a sense of what to expect in my interviews.
5. What advice would you give to other students who are interested in this type of opportunity?
Learn to network. The easiest way to get a foot in the door is to reach out to as many people as possible and ask if they would be willing to help you in your internship search process. While a contact may not be able to guarantee you a job, they are often vital in getting the human resources department to seriously consider your resume.
6. What are you hoping to learn from this internship?
I am hoping to get a sense of what day to day operation are like at a large financial institution. In order to decide if this is something I could see myself doing long-term. I am excited at the prospect of learning from the talented people who are employed by the firm. I think that the skills I learn this summer will provide a solid foundation for future development.
7. What will you do once this internship is over?
After this internship I hope to be invited back for another summer internship the following year. Goldman Sachs is a great company with a lot of opportunity for advancement. It is a place I can see myself working into the foreseeable future.

How is business in El Salvador and what should you know about its economy? El Salvador is the smallest and the most densely populated country in Central America. The country's capital city and largest city is San Salvador; Santa Ana and San Miguel are also important cultural and commercial centers in the country as well as Central America. El Salvador borders the Pacific Ocean on the west, and the countries of Guatemala to the north and Honduras to the east. As of 2009, El Salvador had a population of approximately 5,744,113 people. The colon was the official currency of El Salvador from 1892 to 2001, when it adopted the U.S. Dollar as its national currency. In 2010 El Salvador ranked in the top 10 among Latin American countries in terms of the Human Development Index and in the top 3 in Central America; as a result of this, the country is undergoing rapid industrialization. Does this mean that it's a good idea to do business in El Salvador?
How the economy plays a part in business in El Salvador
According to the IMF and CIA World Factbook, El Salvador has the third largest economy in the region, behind Costa Rica and Panama, when comparing nominal GDP, with El Salvador's being $21.700 billion in 2010. El Salvador's GDP per capita stands in PPP terms stood at US $7,429 in 2010, according to the IMF. There are a total of 15 free trade zones in El Salvador. El Salvador signed the CAFTA, which was negotiated by the five countries with the United States in 2004. CAFTA requires that the Salvadoran government adopt policies that foster free trade. El Salvador has also signed free trade agreements with Mexico, Chile, the Dominican Republic, and Panama and increased its trade with those countries. El Salvador has promoted an open trade and investment environment, and has embarked on a wave of privatizations extending to telecom, electricity distribution, banking, and pension funds.
Common imports and exports
El Salvador primarily imports raw materials, consumer goods, capital goods, fuels, foodstuffs, petroleum, electricity, and textile materials. The markets that El Salvador imports the most from are the US 29.79%, Mexico 10.26%,Guatemala 9.7%, China 4.5%, and Honduras 4.4%. El Salvador imports roughly $6.697 billion worth of goods, while it exports $3.849 billion worth of goods, as estimated in 2009. The primary exports of El Salvador are offshore assembly exports, coffee, sugar, shrimp, textiles, chemicals, electricity. The main industries that the economy of El Salvador specializes in are food processing, beverages, petroleum, chemicals, fertilizer, textiles, furniture, and light metals. The El Salvadorean economy is primarily focused on services with the economic structure broken down by agriculture: 10.8%; industry: 29.1%; services: 60.1%.
Overall, El Salvador is a decent market to invest in. It was ranked as the 112th Easiest Place to do Business by the World Bank for 2012. In the same ranking table, El Salvador was ranked at 166th for Protecting Investors, 69th for Trading Across Borders, and 66th for Enforcing Contracts. So while these are not the best of numbers, it does give you a sense of business in El Salvador and its environment. The political situation is also quite stable in El Salvador, with a Judiciary that is independent of the executive and the legislature. While the market may be somewhat small, it is still a relatively decent market to invest and do business in.

(CNN) -- The firefighter who accidentally ran over and killed a 16-year-old girl who survived July's Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco will not be charged in the case, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said Friday.
The decision comes more than two weeks after authorities completed their investigation into the incident.
A California coroner ruled that Ye Mengyuan of China was alive when she was flung from the plane that crashed as it landed short of the runway at San Francisco International Airport on July 6, but was killed by "multiple blunt injuries" moments later when run over by a rescue vehicle.
That month, San Francisco Fire Department Chief Joanne Hayes-White called the girl's death "a tragic accident" and apologized to Ye's family.
"Obviously this is very difficult news for us. We're heartbroken. We're in the business of saving lives," Hayes-White said at the time. "There's not a lot of words to describe how badly we feel about it."
Two other people died as a result of the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214. More than 180 people aboard the flight were injured.

Geoff Redick finds out what some hospitals are doing to make the holidays special for those who can't be home.
What's the difference between this Christmas tree and most others? This one, is in a hospital. And for the holiday season, so is Cecil Van Houten.
"If somebody had said to me five years ago, 'You're going to be in the hospital someday waiting for a heart transplant,' I would've said, 'You're crazy. There's no way,'" said Van Houten.
Van Houten had already been hospitalized nearly five weeks when we spoke with him. That means he missed Thanksgiving.
"This year, obviously, I'm here. So my wife went to the house, spent some time with family, picked up some Thanksgiving dinner and brought it in. We enjoyed a nice dinner here," Van Houten said.
Thousands of hospital and nursing home patients spend the holidays away from home each year. Millions more will fall ill and spend their holiday at home.
"We talk to people a lot about, just really, communicating about what's important to them, how they're feeling, what they're feeling up to," said Patrice Rogers, URMC social worker.
Outpatient counselors like Patrice Rogers say it's necessary to acknowledge the need for slight changes to the holiday routine.
Rogers said, "Helping them figure out what some new traditions might need to be, or kind of changing their expectations. Things are a little different now, and maybe they can't do things as they've always done them and that's okay."
For Van Houten, the changes this Christmas will be vast.
"Well, the usual tradition is we would stop by our kids' homes and visit with them and the grandchildren," Van Houten said.
This year, the meal and presents will most likely be in his hospital room.
Van Houten said, "I think it'll be okay. To me, family matters. I love traditions. If you are in a different place in your life where you're not able to enjoy that, one year or two years, then so be it. You make the best of what you've got."
A holiday spirit, we can all share in.

BEMIDJI, Minn. Bemidji State University is one of four universities in Minnesota participating in an interactive meeting on community-based food systems sponsored by Congressman Collin Peterson, chairman of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee, on Friday, April 17.
The interactive meeting, which will be held from 9:30-11:30 a.m., will be held in several locations throughout the Seventh Congressional District, including Room 111 in Bemidji States Deputy Hall.
In my role as Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, Ive emphasized the importance of the growing markets for organic, locally grown and sustainable agriculture as exciting new opportunities in agriculture, Peterson said.

Representatives from USDA Rural Development and members of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee staff will explain the various programs in detail, such as the Value Added Producers Grant, Rural Energy for America, Farmers Market Promotion Program, Sustainable Agriculture and Organic Research provisions, etc.
Local food can provide opportunities for profit for farmers and other rural entrepreneurs and main street businesses who want to participate in processing and distributing food, Peterson said. This is an opportunity to learn how your community can use USDA programs as engines for economic development that will benefit farmers, rural communities, development organizations, businesses, and individuals.
The meeting will be held at Bemidji State; Southwest Minnesota State University; the University of Minnesota, Crookston; and the University of Minnesota, Morris.

Humans differ. Most read with their eyes, but some read with their fingertips. The majority communicates by speaking and listening, but a minority communicates by signing. Humans are diverse, and so are our brains. When should neuroscientists accentuate these differences—and when shouldn't they? Why should individuals, themselves, accept their brain differences? And how can we, as a society, accommodate those brain differences?

Silo LoungePrice: $670.00
Click on a swatch to view other color options.
Design by David Salmela.
Made in the U.S.A. by Loll Designs.
In 2005, Duluth architect David Salmela designed the office for Loll's design/manufacturing facility. And it seemed a natural fit to pair the designer's pragmatic design aesthetic with Loll's all-weather, no-maintenance, responsibly crafted outdoor furniture.
Pure and geometric in nature, Silo Lounge from the Salmela Collection provokes a spatial simplicity with modest linear planes meeting to create sculptural and functional outdoor furniture. The rectilinear forms, with no visible fasteners, offer a conscious design of what a chair should be. Similar to its partner, the Lussi Lounge, Silo offers a higher seat back that is remarkably comfortable, despite its severe appearance.
Loll furniture is shipped flat pack to save on costs and resources.
Product Features:
- 100% recycled material won't fade, warp or rot
- Constructed of 120 recycled milk jugs, with stainless steel fasteners and brass inserts
- Products are built to be UV resistant and weatherproof and may be left out year-round in any and all extreme conditions.
- Maintenance-free year round – simply hose off to clean
- Simple assembly with necessary tools and easy-to-follow instructions included
- 1% For The Planet is a growing global movement of 1,201 companies that donate 1% of their gross sales to a network of more than 3,382 environmental organizations worldwide

Good Indiana Lawyers can really help a person that is going through a divorce. These lawyers have the skill and knowledge to guide a person through the legal process. They can help when it comes to custody of the children. They can also advise you when it comes to the house and all of the items in the house.
If you need a lawyer, contact us now!
In certain cases, the children are old enough to choose who they want to live with. That is not always the way it goes though. Some divorces can be very messy, and it is up to the courts to decide where the children will end up. Divorce is not fun. If you are forced to go through it though, then you need a good lawyer on your side.
Many people regret not hiring a good attorney before they filed for divorce. They may have filled out the paperwork over the internet. That is a legal way to file for divorce, but not the best solution unless there is no property involved at all. If two people bought a house together, then someone is going to need to be responsible for the house.
Another point to consider is child support and alimony payments. Most ex spouses are not going to choose to pay alimony. That is why it is important to have a good lawyer ready to fight for your rights. It is better and easier to let an attorney explain to a former partner why they need to pay alimony or child support. Can you imagine the ex spouse trying to explain it? It would end up in a big messy fight. That is why the court system is in charge. The court will determine a fair price to be paid. There is really no way that a person can understand all that is involved in legal cases. That is why you should choose a professional that has went to school and studied the law to advise you. You can count on them to have your best interest at heart. They will have the expertise to help you get the best possible outcome from your divorce proceedings. Choose reliable Indiana Lawyers.

UPDATE: Burt's Place reopened in early November. Click here to read more.
Burt Katz has always been a one-man operation, mostly because he wants customers to get high-quality pizza each and every time they visit his Morton Grove-based pizzeria.
Customers of Burt's Place, however, have been missing out ever since Katz was taken to the hospital about six weeks ago.
"I'm not going to rush back because I want to offer the same quality of service as before, but I promise we will be back in business within a few weeks," Katz said from his hospital bed in Evanston.
Katz, 76, declined to elaborate on his injury, but did say he underwent surgery and is now in physical therapy.
The well-traveled pizza maker first gained fame when he opened The Inferno in Evanston and later opened Gulliver's in Chicago's Rogers Park.
Katz took a "hiatus" to experiment in corporate oilrigs, but said the higher pay wasn't worth the restrictive working conditions. He hasn't shaved his beard since he quit his corporate job on March 12, 1971 and decided to open Pequod's in Morton Grove.
"I figured I would take a chance, and if I failed it would be by my own hand, and if I succeeded it would be by my own hand," Katz said.
After growing bored of Pequod's, Katz sold it and opened Burt's Place down the street in 1989. Traditionally, the only person who helps in his restaurants has been his wife Sharon, who takes orders and serves tables.
Likewise, investors have approached Katz about franchising Burt's Place, to which Katz has declined.
"I've run my own store for 40 years," Katz said. "I do all the buying, all the organizing, pay all the bills and do all the cooking. Nobody has ever cooked for me. I make sure every pizza is acceptable to sell. When you start substituting people, the standards vary and your quality promise loses value."
A typical day for Katz starts at 5 a.m., when he buys his fresh produce and starts his dough. After that, he works out at the Morton Grove Park District for an hour, before working until Burt's Place closes at 9 or 10 p.m.
"I am going to keep working until I'm not healthy enough to work," Katz said. "I miss my customers and I want to keep up with their lives. I've been fortunate to have such loyal customers. I don't ever take them for granted."
Katz said he still has customers who first visited Pequod's in the 1970s.
Debbie Juris of the Morton Grove Chamber of Commerce said she's received a considerable number of calls in recent weeks asking why Burt's Place is closed.
"He obviously has a big following and is a prime example of small business building strong relationships in the community," Juris said. "We hope he returns soon."
A considerable amount of personal letters have also reportedly been stuffed under the restaurant's front door, though Sharon Katz said she hasn't been able to make her weekly visits lately.
Carol Anzelone was a long-time patron of Burt's Place and does part-time waitressing when Sharon Katz is unavailable.
"We have some customers who come in every week on the same day, and they've grown worried about Burt," Anzelone said. "I live near the restaurant and people walking by will recognize me and stop to ask questions."
Anzelone said college students and young professionals who live in Chicago often call Burt's Place with plans of visiting and Katz always tells them to take the train because it's cheaper.
"His heart is in his work," Anzelone said. "He loves what he does and he loves the people who come into his little shop, and that shows."
For those who are awaiting his return, Katz said he plans to post an informational flier on his shop window a week before he returns.

Stung Sen Royal Hotel
Roomy and plain
What we say:
Though we found the English-speaking management to be quite accommodating and kind, we again thought the prices were higher than the quality at this riverside hotel. A few rooms have obscured river views if you look over the parking lot, but with most, the view is blocked by trees. Rooms are quite large and bright, with big windows, but lacking any decor -- the rooms are white, with white linens, and there is literally nothing on the walls, save some chipping paint and cracks. The TV was mini-sized and the furniture worn, though mattresses were super thick and looked quite comfortable. Some rooms have huge bathrooms with tubs, though no shower curtains.

Based on 1 ratings and 1 reviews
We had a double room with an extrabed for $25. The room was spacious, the bathroom had a tub but was quite smelly. The room faced the river and was very quiet. The staff was inattentively, we stayed there for three days and had to ask for toilet paper, towels, soap, shampoo every day.
We inspected three other guesthouses and I think we made a good choice although the price is too high for the quality.

Install and run multiple operating systems on the same PC. Linux, Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP & ETC Inc..
One of the reasons that some users did not want to move or even to test new Windows 7Is either convenience or habit or addiction of some applications that run only on Windows XP. Brings into question Windows XPBecause we are pretty sure that users who have bought and have installed Windows Vista, Passed to Windows 7. Much of ...
We tested Windows 7 since official launch day the first beta, and I chose to install the new operating system dual-boot cu Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Needs have led us to seek a solution yet to run other operating systems in parallel with the system.
In what follows I will show how you can install and run Windows XP on a PC that you installed Windows 7. Of course, those who have installed Windows XP on PCs can install Windows 7, Windows Vista or any other operating system in parallel with the base.
How to create a virtual PC install Windows XP. .

2. Proceed VirtualBox application installation process and finally fill the registration form.
3. Sun VirtualBox console, click on the blue button "New"-> Next -> Select a name for the operating system, type of operating system si version.
4. In the next screen, choose how much RAMOf quantum installed on your PC you want to use the new OS Windows XP. Recommended that it would be to allocate as little. It depends on what your application is going to run the OS.
5. In the next step, you will need to create a virtual hard drive for OS.
Choose a location on your hard drive where you want the file to be virtual (eg xp.vdi) The virtual hard disk and volume allocations. (Depending on the size and determine the software to be installed)
6. Finish & Finish.
Up to this step, we were able to prepare Virtual PC for Windows XP. In Sun VirtualBox interface, we have the new system, where you have to set the properties and, depending on our needs. Boot order, video memoryPorts USB, NICEtc motherboard.
7. If Install Windows XP from CDWill be established in VirtualBox, partition "Removable Storage"CD / DVD. See in My Compuer is this partition and see in the image below where it should be mounted partition.
8. Insert the Windows XP CD, click Windows XP in VirtualBox & Start.
Installation and virtual operating system functionality (Windows XP in our case) will be the same as a normal PC. You can install apps, you can connect to Internet and run any sotturi want (limited memory and disk space allocated).
In Sun VirtualBox, along with Windows XP, you can add other operating systems. Note that for each operating system is required to create a virtual PC, which must assign resources (RAM, HDD) based system.

Nancy Morejón is the best known and most widely translated woman poet of postrevolutionary Cuba. Born in 1944 in Havana to a militant dock worker and a tradeunionist seamstress, Morejón graduated from Havana University, where she majored in French. She was Cuba's first black woman poet to be internationally acclaimed as a poet. Her distinctive poetry is shaped by an Afro-Cuban sensibility and an eloquent concern for Cuban nationhood, cultural fusion, and the rights of women. She has published more than twenty volumes of poetry, as well as critical works and translations from French and English. Her works in English translation include Looking Within / Mirar adentro, Selected Poems 1954-2000, Where the Island Sleeps Like a Wing, translated by U.S. poet Kathleen Weaver, and With Eyes and Soul/Images of Cuba with photographs by Milton Rogovin. For many years, Morejon served on the editorial staff of UNEAC (Union of Cuban Writers and Artists). Currently she is president of the Cuban Writers' Union, UNEAC, and an advisor at Casa de las Americas in Havana.
Morejón has won Cuba's prestigious National Literary Award, the National Prize for Poetry, and the National Award in Criticism – as well as many international awards, including the Latin American Studies Association Cuba Prize. Thoroughly bilingual, she has read and lectured at universities in the U.S. She served as writer in residence at Wellesley College and conducted a two-day symposium on her work at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Howard University Press has published a collection of critical texts on her work: Singular Like a Bird: The Art of Nancy Morejon.
AL YOUNG is a distinguished writer, poet, fiction writer, anthologist, and educator. His many honors include Poet Laureate of California, the PEN-Library of Congress Award for Short Fiction, the PEN-USA Award for Non-Fiction, two American Book Awards, and the Richard Wright Award for Excellence in Literature. His writings have been translated into many languages, including Russian, and Urdu. His works in fiction include Seduction by Light and Sitting Pretty; in poetry, Something About the Blues, and Coastal Nights and Inland Afternoons: Poems 2001-2006.
In the 1970's Young wrote film scripts for producer Joseph Strick, Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby, and Richard Pryor. In the 1980's and 90's, as a cultural ambassador for the United States Information Agency, he traveled throughout South Asia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian West Bank. In 2001 he traveled to the Persian Gulf to lecture on American and African American literature and culture in Kuwait and in Bahrain for the U.S. Department of State. Subsequent lecture tours have taken him to Southern Italy in 2004, and back to India in 2005.. Blending story, recitation and song, Young often performs live with musicians. In 2005, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed him Poet Laureate of California.
Kathleen Weaver is a poet, author of Peruvian Rebel, the Life and Work of Magda Portal, co-editor of The Penguin Book of Womens' Poetry and The Other Voice, translator of Nancy Morejón, Julio Cortazar, Omar Cabezas and many others.
NOTE: Nancy Morejon and Kathleen Weaver will also be appearing on Sunday, June 9, in San Francisco at the Emerald Tablet.

DUX Dental Booth (videos)
Monday, 31 January 2011 14:58:12 Category Yankee Dental Meeting 2011
At the DUX Dental booth, we saw the ShortCut, which is a retraction cord dispenser. It has a built-in cord cutter and dispenses the cord with a turn of the dial. Each turn of the dial dispenses an equal amount. It eliminates the need of a scissors for procedures. There was also Bib-Eze, which is a disposable bib holder. It is designed to be used instead of the metal chains that hold bibs because the saliva, blood, bacteria or anything else from each patient can spread easily to the next patient if the same metal chain is used.

PPG's Safe-on-Substrate (SOS) technology represents a breakthrough in conductive paints—delivering excellent electronic conductivity and greater compatibility with the many types of plastics used in the manufacture of today's electronics enclosures.
SOS coatings use alcohol as the primary solvent, rather than more aggressive solvents, which minimizes substrate attack on plastics. This milder solvent enables these paints to be used on a wider variety of plastics, such as polycarbonate and polycarbonate blends, as well as those molded for thin-wall applications.
SOS coatings have excellent adhesion to most engineering plastics, and superior durability and wear resistance. The SOS series also reduces application costs and delivers better electrical conductivity with a thinner application of coating, even in high-volume production environments. They offer excellent electrical performance coupled with greater EMI-shielding properties and SAR protection.
The SOS line of conductive coatings includes three principal product types:
Selection of the best product for a given application involves achieving a balance between performance, cost and accommodation of individual product design.

Sidebar: State Auditor's correction
|On August 8, 2006 State Auditor Patricia Anderson published a report on Minnesota's special districts that contained the above error, pointed out by Rebecca Otto. She denied the report had any errors.
|Over the weekend, State Auditor Anderson published a corrected report, changing the number to the amount Rebecca Otto said it should be, not $389.0 million, but $569.1 million.
|The $180.1 million correction was not footnoted and the changed report's title page (above) still bears the date August 8, as if it had never been altered, in no way alerting legislators or other officials who may use the report that they may have the incorrect report.

State Auditor corrects report after Rebecca Otto points out $180.1 million error
But corrected report bears original date and no mention that it has been amended
News Release | August 22, 2006
SAINT PAUL - With no fanfare or public acknowledgement, State Auditor Patricia Anderson over the weekend published a corrected version of her report on special district finances after DFL challenger Rebecca Otto pointed out over $180 million in errors in the report last week.
"Otto got it wrong today," Anderson told political reporter Don Davis at the time. "She clearly does not understand basic governmental accounting. Otto claimed there were hundreds of millions of dollars in errors, when in fact there were none."
And yet Anderson's republished report now contains a $180.1 million correction – to an error Rebecca Otto pointed out.
Non-operating revenues for enterprise funds, which include things like hospitals and electric agencies, were incorrectly totaled in the report as "$389.0 million" until Otto pointed out the error on August 15. The new report now lists them as "569.1 million," the figure Otto said last week was the correct amount, and a difference of $180.1 million.
"I'm glad she's corrected the report," said Otto, "but I think a clear indication of the change and republication would have been the proper protocol, and helpful for those legislators and policymakers who may be using the incorrect report." Such indications, Otto said, are dictated by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which the State Auditor is supposed to be following and enforcing.
The report's date remains "August 8, 2006" and there are no footnotes indicating that the report was amended.
Otto said she appreciated the way the Minnesota Department of Education handled a similar situation after she found nearly $12 million in errors on a school revenue report. "They posted the change immediately, noting the date the report was corrected. That way members of the public or the legislature will be alerted that there are new numbers, so they don't make mistakes by using the wrong numbers."
Otto said this raises new concerns about the office. "Mistakes happen, that's human, and we forgive them. Under my leadership we'll make sure the numbers add up. I will also take responsibility when there are errors and make clear corrections."

10 Great Green Kitchens
From apple to forest, we've rounded up our favorite green colored kitchen photos.
Belgian-Inspired Kitchen
The steely severity of industrial materials played against warm wood tones is something designer Kay Douglass often sees in Belgian interiors. That aesthetic inspired her placement of Circa Lighting's industrial pendant lamps over the Southern kitchen island and her use of metal tiles from the Walker Zanger Metallismo Collection for the backsplashes. The gray-green walls are Seapearl by Benjamin Moore. "I used color only to set a mood, not as a statement," Douglass says.

Have you ever spoken out at your child's school — and then wished you could change your words?
When writer Karen Mangiacotti got a request from her child's school for help setting up some heavy science equipment, and when she saw that the request was addressed only to dads, she wanted to know why moms weren't included. She responded with her characteristic humor, only to become known in the school community as "Penis Mom."

This just made me laugh; good for her! It's frustrating when society assumes that women are the weaker sex when I know plenty of men who are not stronger than me.

Good God. People are overreacting. It was humor for goodness' sake. Let it go....I personally think it's funny.

I wouldn't have been offended if I had gotten that email. Men are *generally* stronger than women. Have you ever seen the blocks they use on trebuchets? They use bulldozers to move them. I don't see what the big deal is.

I was an armwrestling champ in my younger days and could beat the entire football team. I loved my physical strength. Hated sexism. I'm a mom of two (boy and girl highschoolers) who I've done my dangedess to represent, promote and be proud of strong women/girls in life and art. I appreciate the voice of "Positive Mom" in raising the subject.

"Have you ever spoken out at your child's school — and then wished you could change your words?" OMG ALL the time. It's especially hard living so close to my parents so I "hear it" when I do something like this.

Felicia, I'm curious, which part of the DNA shows women to be "genetically dispositioned to care"? Have you read or know of any scientific research for this?

I was sadened by this article. Men are genetically dispositioned to be stronger than women, in the same way women are genetically dispositioned to care. I hope you have a chance to help at your child's school to care and support all those beautiful little souls, and nurture as women do best. I'm not a girly girl either and love getting my hands dirty, but I leave the heavy stuff to Hubby cause he doesn't put his back out doing it. :)

They probably asked for Dads because men are generally stronger and more willing to do mucky, hard tasks. Personally I'm not a feminine woman at all, in any respect. I don't wear make up, jewellery, get dressed up or spend hours on my hair. And I don't take offence to them asking for male help. It makes scientific sense, and honestly I think there would be outrage had they NOT asked for men to help. I'm not saying we all have to be dainty and hide in the kitchen, but that is a very male task, and I'd rather let my husband handle something I KNOW he can do better than me.

It didn't seem like the request was ONLY for dads to me. As in exclusively. It seems to me like they wanted to include dads specifically not exclude moms.

If you read the whole article, it gets even better. This sounds like something I would unintentionally do. I am the proud Mon of a daughter who has a "tomboy" streak, but loves "girlie" things too. We have never told her "No, that is for boys. She even chose the Toy Story decorated Pull-ups for a time because she loves those movies. It is her decision. She likes wearing comfy knit dresses (with leggings or short so shecan hang upside down) and always chooses a Disney Princess for Halloween. She lives to build huge towers with blocks and gets muddy outside.

That's funny, but really, I don't mind at all if the men do the heavy lifting. I personally find it difficult to lift things that weight almost as much as I do, which is around 100 pounds, but my husband can lift things like that like they are a feather. Gee, wonder why they would ask the dads and not the moms.

The subversives have been worming their way into the hallowed halls of US power for decades. The Muslim Brotherhood project.
Awlaki was the go-to guy on all things Islam for the NY Times, Washington Post and Beltway elites. Has the Times or the Post ever come clean or done a mea culpa? No, instead they continue to crucify champions of freedom.
"FBI knew al-Awlaki had bought air tickets for 9/11 hijackers — still was invited to Pentagon and preached on Capitol Hill,"Jihadwatch, Janaury 3, 2013
Here is evidence that the infiltration long predates the Obama Administration.
Here is al-Awlaki addressing "moderate" Muslims including Nihad Awad of Hamas-linked CAIR on Capitol Hill in 2002. The rest is below. "Documents Uncovered by Judicial Watch Indicate FBI Knew Assassinated U.S. Born Terrorist Anwar al-Aulaqi Purchased Airline Tickets for 9/11 Hijackers," from Judicial Watch, January 3 (thanks to Jeff):
WASHINGTON, DC–(Marketwire – Jan 3, 2013) - Judicial Watch announced today that it has received documents from the U.S. State Department indicating that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was aware on September 27, 2001, that Anwar al-Aulaqi, the U.S. born terrorist assassinated by a U.S. drone in Yemen on September 30, 2011, had purchased airplane tickets for three of the 9/11 terrorist hijackers, including mastermind Mohammed Atta. Subsequent to the FBI's discovery, al-Aulaqi was detained and released by authorities at least twice and had been invited to dine at the Pentagon.According to a September 27, 2001, FBI transcription, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State and Federal Bureau of Investigations (No. 1:12-cv-00893)), al-Aulaqi purchased airline tickets for the following 9/11 hijackers:
- Mohammed Atta, America West Airlines, 08/13/2001, for a flight from Washington, DC, to Las Vegas, Nevada, to Miami, Florida.
- S. Suqami, Southwest Airlines, 07/10/2001, for a flight from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Orlando, Florida.
- Al-Sheri, National Airlines, 08/01/2001, for a flight from San Francisco, California, to Las Vegas, Nevada, to Miami, Florida.
The documents also include material showing that al-Aulaqi was uncooperative with FBI agents investigating the 9/11 attacks and was seemingly a central focus of the FBI investigation and monitoring related to 9/11.

Hey ladies!
What's happening in your world today?
|Tue, 06-14-2011 - 10:28am
My whole week is insane. Today is no exception. Randi has an appointment today with a neurologist in Albany. She has been having headaches now for 5 months. We were seeing a neuro closer to home but the man is a jerk and has no business seeing kids. He actually said to me, in front of her, "well she just thinks I should have a magic wand" He also was less than honest with me about a medication he tried to put her on. A bit of research on my part, showed me he was giving her too much and that it is not recommended in kids her age. Anyway, so now we are off to a pediatric specialist who will, hopefully at least be sympathetic. Later is piano lessons and somehow getting a dinner on the table. : )
|Tue, 06-14-2011 - 12:04pm
And, poor Randi. I hope there is some relief for her and it's nothing serious. Hugs to you too. I'm sure it's hard to see your little girl in pain.
|Tue, 06-14-2011 - 3:35pm
Jenny - I hope the pediatric specialist has some better answers for you guys and Randi feels better soon.
Not much going on with me today. DH and I have a nice schedule going with the baby where I take all the night feedings and then take a nap in the morning and he handles all the feedings. We did this because I can easily fall back to sleep after being up in the middle of the night and DH can't. Now we are just relaxing, watching tv. Nathan had his last day of school today. So now he's on summer break. :) We have someone coming to put new windows in tomorrow and this weekend we are going to go see some friends/family.
|Tue, 06-14-2011 - 5:54pm
Thanks for the thoughts everyone. The appointment went well. This guy was terrific with her and very motivated to find a solution. It makes me feel much more confident that she will feel better soon.
Stacy- my husband and I had a similar system when Hannah was a baby. He had to get up early so he would take the 5am feeding and then put her back to bed, get ready for work and leave us both sleeping for a bit. Of course when she started sleeping all night she was skipping my 2am feeding and going later for his. Soon he could not wait to feed her before leaving for work. I told him he needed to work it out with his boss since it was his feeding. : )

Need help with home's exterior
February 27, 2013 in Design Dilemma
We have been in this house for about a year and need to finish work the old owner started. This includes the front of the home. We would LOVE suggestions on what pillars/style to use, materials for the flooring, fencing & really anything and everything to make it wow without spending too much. Appreciate your comments :)
First define the style of the house, ie bungalow, craftsman, etc. Base the house decor on the style. I see it as a cross between those two but more of a craftsman. I would box in the two metal posts with boards. Most craftsman houses have half-wall front porches. Look up craftsman homes online and notice how they look. I would dig up the pine tree because it's too close to your house and the roots are going to lift up the foundation of your house when it gets bigger. The bigger it is the more expensive it is going to be to cut down and the more damage it is going to do to your house and steps. Also pine trees break in storms and it looks like you're in a stormy kind of place. It's also in the wrong place in your yard because it is in front of your porch. After the tree is gone, you can landscape according to your budget and time. At the least, put hand rails on your steps. At the most, look at the craftsman home and build concrete or stone railings to match your house. Paint your door a color, deep red maybe. Take the urn & tree off of the porch and sit it where your steps form the L-shape. Put nice chairs on your porch with cushions that match your new door color. Good luck!

I think shutters would look nice in deep green, burgundy door, box in the poles, lose the urn, lose the bush, put a little bench painted dark green under the little window, and landscape. Put a pretty flowering small shrub by the porch and steps, put a small ornamental tree in the yard. Are your shingles stained? I would not want them to weather into a gray color. Maybe stain them to match the wood you use on the poles and hand rails.
Ironwood Builders
Skip putting shutters on, They will just cover up the really nice stone work around the window in front...and they are meaningless. Tapered columns in an arts and crafts style would work for your porch. Use all the space on the bottom stone pillar and take the outside tight to the 4X4 at the top. A wrought iron or steel handrail will be the least expensive and sturdiest handrail for the stairs. Look through the local salvage yard for a good pair. Matching the existing stone work will be pretty expensive, though doable... While at the salvage yard, look for a new front door. One in the arts and crafts style would be appropriate. Please,at least oil the shingles, Cabot's makes some decent exteroir oil stain in clear or colors. I'd like to see the shingles go a sage green, also available from Cabot's. Posts and trim can go white.[houzz=

I didnt realize how ugly the shingles are until you suggested oiling/staining! Is this something that needs to be done professionally or can the average homeowner do it? We have extremes of weather in Toronto so I need to make sure its durable. I love the idea of removing the tree, iron railings, etc. I may not be able to get a new front door but would I be able to paint it a different colour? How about for the porch and stairs, what would you recommend? Flagstone?
Thank you so much for your comments. We are overwhelmed at the amount of work this house needs!
Thank you so much for your comments. We are overwhelmed at the amount of work this house needs!
If you are overwhelmed with the amount of work, try making a room-by-room list of what you'd like to do and what you need to do (those are different things). Rank each item A, B, or C depending on your priorities. Put a cost and time estimate next to each one (e.g., paint bathroom, $100-$200, 1-2 days; remodel kitchen, $30,000-$60,000, 6-18 weeks). You can either do the things that are ranked A first or do one room at a time. I recommend some combination of the two. Fixing up a room is good, but so is getting a handrail for your front steps (an A priority because it is a safety issue). Both give a sense of accomplishment.
If you have a one-year home warranty that is about to run out, review what it covers and make sure you get anything fixed that you just haven't had time to call the warranty company for, before the warranty runs out.

I love your house! I don't think the outside needs all that much actually, but I guess that's all relative isn't it? Lol. I think that as usual, Ironwood has hit the nail on the head. He is very experienced and good at what he does! I don't think the shingles are all that ugly, though a stain or color stain will protect them.
Please go to the bookstore or the library and read up on Craftsman homes for inspiration while it is still wintery. Then you can choose colors and such and be all ready to start in the spring. If you want to be authentic, there will be colors you will see in the books, but if not, choose a color that you like and paint the front door the color you would like to come home to.
Good luck, and post some pics when you are done!

I really do recommend stain or oil to preserve the shingles. We usually get them pre stained or dip them in oil prior to install. I've bought a lot of clothes pins to dry shingles! Regarding the front door...I recommended the salvage yard for economy and authenticity. handymam is right, take the rest of the winter and do some research...and lists of priorities are crucial, as is even a WAG budget. I don't think another stone on the stairs and porch will do you any favors. The existing concrete looks fine with your split face limestone.

Craftsman style period columns, more square in shape, boxwood shrubs under picture windows and a triangular corner shape flowered would look great, would extend adding fullness to receding expanse beside the porch. Ornamental grasses and perennials could help soften the landscape too but don't know what planting zone you are in. Cute house,! Why not add a new front door painted a bright color?
Ironwood Builders
Sorry. Missed one. Staining the shingles can be done when the exterior painting is done...after the posts go in and are trimmed out. Painting is a classic DIY. Pro painters are fast and good. To get a quality job, you'll be slower. Ladder safety is really important. I know of guy that died of head injuries trying to put up his new girlfriend's Christmas lights. Read the warnings on the side of the new ladders. Use only type I or higher rated ladders. Renting good ladders is an option.

I agree, even just a single tapered column would be nice.
Ironwood Builders
From the pictures, the concrete looks OK. Skimming over the top in your Canadian climate probably won't be a good idea, though it depends on your use of salt to keep the ice clear. So a tough masonry paver is necessary, one that can take the abuse in winter and still look good....and look good with the limestone veneer. American Olean makes some porcelain tiles in a concrete look, large format, or Porcelanosa tiles...take a look at the tiles in this shower. Green/grey they would look OK with a sage exterior. A natural bluestone might work, or a green Vermont slate. Just don't want the porch to fight with the limestone veneer.
Ironwood Builders
Paint the door for now. The "leaded" glass in the door is not so great for the look of the house. save up for the real deal. Here is an oak door with vintage art glass. $935 US from Doc's Architectural Salvage in Indianapolis. 2 day field trip from Toronto. Browse their stuff for more and call them with the size of your door...they can help. Although in Cleveland, there is probably a salvage place too...and much closer. Or heck, Detroit. I never even looked in Toronto!

Commuter Rail:
Potential Impacts and Cost Estimates for the Cancelled Hudson River Tunnel Project
GAO-12-344: Published: Mar 9, 2012. Publicly Released: Apr 10, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Studies estimated that the Access to the Regions Core commuter rail project would have provided mobility benefits, but other benefits would either have been limited or are difficult to measure. According to various studies:
- The project would have helped meet the projected increase in travel demand and improved mobility by doubling the number of daily peak period trains, and significantly increasing daily trips between New Jersey and Manhattanfrom about 174,000 without the project to 254,000 with the project by 2030while reducing transfers and station crowding and improving reliability of service.
- The project potentially would have generated economic activity in the region in the form of jobs and income, business activity, and increased home values, but many economic effects were hard to predict with certainty. For example, the extent to which the project would shift the location of economic activity, versus providing additional net economic activity, is uncertain.
- The project was estimated to have created limited but mostly positive environmental effectsin particular, improved air qualityand included measures to mitigate negative effects such as noise and storm water runoff.
Over time, the cost estimates for the project increased from an initial estimate of $7.4 billion in 2006. In 2008 and 2010, FTA performed risk assessments and revised the cost estimate. FTA and NJT agreed upon a baseline cost estimate of $8.7 billion in 2009. After considering comments from NJT, which projected lower costs than FTA, FTA revised its estimate and issued a cost estimate of $9.8 billion to $12.4 billion in October 2010. As of April 2010, federal sources were expected to fund about half the cost, with the remainder divided between New Jersey Turnpike funds and the Port Authority.
Because the project was terminated before FTA and NJT entered into a full funding grant agreement, there was no final agreement by all the parties on the issue of responsibility for project cost growth. While the Secretary of Transportation and the governor of New Jersey held discussions on additional funding options, planning documents did not address the source of funding of potential cost growth for the project.
Why GAO Did This Study
Studies have estimated that transit travel demand between New Jersey and Manhattan will increase by 38 percent by 2030. The Access to the Regions Core commuter rail project was designed to help meet that rising demand. In October 2010, the governor of New Jersey, citing potential cost growth and the states fiscal condition, withdrew state support and cancelled the project. The New Jersey Transit (NJT) was the lead agency for the project, supported by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority). The project was to be partially funded under the Federal Transit Administrations (FTA) New Starts program.
GAO was asked to examine (1) what would have been the mobility, economic, and environmental benefits of the project according to major planning studies; (2) the project cost estimates over time; and (3) how, if at all, documents prepared as part of the New Starts process addressed potential cost growth for the project.
GAO reviewed the literature and major project planning studies, FTA reports, and economic and cost estimates by NJT and other planning organizations. GAO interviewed officials from FTA, state and local transit agencies, and local planning organizations. GAO is making no recommendations in this report.
The Department of Transportation provided technical comments, which GAO incorporated in the report.
